The Matt Walsh Show - Ep. 1300 - Slippery Slope Confirmed Again： 50 Year Old Man Competes Against 13 Year Old Girls

00:00:00.000 Today on the Matt Wall Show, a 50-year-old adult male has been competing in swim competitions

00:00:03.960 against teenage girls in Canada and changing in their locker room.

00:00:07.460 Nobody is doing anything about it, and hardly anyone is even objecting.

00:00:10.380 Also, Nikki Haley loses badly in New Hampshire but refuses to exit the race.

00:00:13.880 A lesbian couple booked a wedding venue and now claim that they're being victimized

00:00:17.140 because the owners of the venue are Christians.

00:00:19.820 And Barbie fans cry sexism because the Barbie movie didn't get enough Oscar nominations, they say.

00:00:24.400 But the fans should be grateful it got any nominations at all, considering the film is pure trash.

00:00:28.460 We'll talk about all that and more today.

00:00:30.000 On the Matt Wall Show.

00:00:56.320 As we head toward a presidential election in November,

00:00:58.280 there's one thing you can be sure of.

00:01:00.140 2024 will be a tumultuous year.

00:01:02.500 How will your hard-earned savings fare?

00:01:03.980 Well, you're already seeing the impacts of inflation at the pump at the grocery store.

00:01:07.000 The dollar continues to lose its buying power faster than wages increase.

00:01:10.420 How are you protecting your savings?

00:01:12.360 Consider diversifying into gold from Birch Gold Group.

00:01:15.220 For decades, gold has been the choice of investors and central banks to hedge against inflation.

00:01:20.000 If you have an IRA or 401k from a previous employer that's just gathering dust,

00:01:22.960 call Birch Gold, and they will help you convert it into an IRA in gold.

00:01:26.780 You're not going to pay a penny out of pocket.

00:01:28.640 They will simply convert that 401k into physical gold,

00:01:31.680 which, unlike digital currency, cannot be tampered with.

00:01:35.480 It's the most reliable thing you can do.

00:01:37.060 Just text Walsh to 989898, and Birch Gold will send you a free info kit on gold

00:01:41.760 with an A-plus rating with the Better Business Bureau,

00:01:44.180 thousands of satisfied customers,

00:01:45.660 and the exclusive gold company of The Daily Wire for the past seven years.

00:01:49.580 You can trust Birch Gold, too, just like we do.

00:01:51.920 Text Walsh to 989898 to claim your free info kit.

00:01:55.820 That's Walsh to 989898, and secure your savings now.

00:02:00.120 Ten years ago, we were told that men would never actually compete against women in women's sports,

00:02:05.180 and then it started happening, and we were told that it would never become a common occurrence.

00:02:08.940 And now here we are today, where there are so many prominent examples of men competing in women's sports

00:02:13.880 and completely dominating the competition, that it's easy to lose track of them all.

00:02:18.200 Of course, there's William Thomas, a.k.a. Leah Thomas,

00:02:20.480 who went from the 89th-ranked male swimmer to a national champion once he started pretending to be a woman.

00:02:25.100 There's also the Canadian man calling himself Anne Andres, who set a world record in women's powerlifting.

00:02:31.620 His total weight lifted across squat, bench, and deadlift was more than 400 pounds higher than the closest woman.

00:02:38.000 And more recently, there's the man we mentioned just yesterday, Haley Davidson,

00:02:41.220 who just won the Women's Classic in Orlando,

00:02:44.120 which gives him a good chance of getting into the LPGA tour, where the L supposedly stands for ladies.

00:02:49.700 Now, yesterday we played a clip from Davidson's interview a couple days ago on Good Morning Britain,

00:02:55.280 which, as you recall, was very interesting, because in the interview, Davidson, a trans athlete,

00:03:00.720 admits the one thing that the trans activists still try to deny.

00:03:05.500 Well, I mean, they deny a lot of things, but one of the things they deny is that males obviously have physical advantages over females.

00:03:12.280 He admits that. He says that they do have those advantages,

00:03:15.080 and he says that there should be guidelines in place for this reason.

00:03:18.480 Now, this is one of those admissions that you'd think would, especially in a news interview,

00:03:23.700 would lead to some follow-up questions, such as,

00:03:26.620 why are you competing in a women's golf event that doesn't have any of those guidelines that you say yourself should be in place? 0.94

00:03:34.040 And also, what's the difference between a competitive advantage and cheating, exactly?

00:03:39.980 But again, the reporter doesn't ask those questions.

00:03:41.900 Instead, he immediately derails any line of inquiry that could lead to some introspection and pushback against trans ideology.

00:03:48.480 And that's because the position of the corporate press, for a very long time now, has been that the trans cult can do whatever it wants. 0.87

00:03:56.660 Even when they admit they're cheating, they are untouchable.

00:04:00.360 They are always the victims in every situation.

00:04:02.880 Even when they commit mass shootings, they're the victims, as we saw here in Nashville.

00:04:07.540 As for Davidson himself, he assures us that he is an exception to that rule because he has intentionally destroyed his body over the course of the past several years with hormones and surgeries.

00:04:17.820 And now that he has destroyed his body, his destroyed body is no different from a female's body. 0.96

00:04:22.840 Because a female body apparently is the same thing as a ruined, destroyed male body, according to him.

00:04:28.700 Now, that's a very weak argument for reasons I already outlined.

00:04:32.680 But there was something he said at the end of that clip that we didn't spend much time talking about yesterday.

00:04:37.180 And I want to play it again right now. Here it is.

00:04:40.700 Such a big problem with you competing in women's golf in particular. 1.00

00:04:45.000 I don't understand that. I don't get what the fear of me, one person, is doing.

00:04:50.880 The 31-year-old, who was the first male-born golfer to win a professional women's event, is speaking out exclusively after revealing she's received a number of death threats just days after winning this women's tournament.

00:05:04.040 Are you worried about your safety?

00:05:05.440 A little bit, yeah. I don't go out and do a ton much because of that. I'm not, you know, going out at night.

00:05:11.020 You know, I watch myself when I sit in a restaurant. You know, I'll always have my back to a wall.

00:05:14.940 Three years on from her gender reassignment surgery, and Haley's determined to keep going and hopes to one day qualify for the Scottish Open.

00:05:23.640 So, quote-unquote, Haley Davidson is getting death threats, he claims.

00:05:28.580 And therefore, we should feel sorry for him and pretend that he's a woman. 0.67

00:05:31.760 Also, Davidson reminds us that he's just one person, so what's the big deal?

00:05:35.540 One person can't possibly cause that many problems, so just go along with his delusions.

00:05:41.020 These are all familiar arguments and very stupid arguments, but through it all, the reporter is using the guy's fake pronouns and tossing him softball questions to lend some legitimacy to the whole charade or the humiliation ritual or whatever you want to call it.

00:05:55.460 But why are people so angry, Davidson wants to know.

00:05:58.360 He's confused, or pretends to be confused, in more ways than one, I suppose.

00:06:02.300 He just can't figure out why people are so upset.

00:06:04.560 Well, I would suggest that he already answered that question himself, the whole biological advantages bit that he conceded to.

00:06:11.340 It's one reason people are upset.

00:06:13.240 The other is that this whole agenda is depraved and false and evil.

00:06:18.220 Now, for years, it's been clear where this depravity and evil would lead.

00:06:21.940 Once you give a blank check to a large group of people who suffer from extremely high rates of serious mental illness already,

00:06:28.200 they will take full advantage of the opportunity.

00:06:31.960 They won't stop at beating adult women in sporting competitions. 0.98

00:06:35.520 Things will get much darker than that.

00:06:37.760 And indeed, they already have.

00:06:40.240 So here's one recent example, which you may not have heard of.

00:06:43.300 This is a story that first broke a couple of months ago in Canada, courtesy of the rebel news reporter David Menzies,

00:06:50.480 who's one of the few serious journalists left in Canada.

00:06:54.300 You might remember he's the same reporter who broke the story of that Canadian shop teacher who wore the massive prosthetic breasts to class.

00:07:01.440 So he's the guy that told us about that.

00:07:03.320 And this latest story from Menzies is weirder and even more disturbing than that. 0.98

00:07:10.100 And yet it hasn't got nearly as much attention as it deserves.

00:07:12.980 I mean, most people probably haven't heard about it.

00:07:14.540 So I want to make sure that you hear about it.

00:07:16.600 And so here we are.

00:07:17.580 Here's how it began.

00:07:19.160 Back in October, Menzies received a tip about the fall classic swimming competition at the Markham Pan Am Center,

00:07:25.660 which is just north of Toronto.

00:07:27.820 Now, Menzies obtained a scheduling sheet which showed that 10 swimmers had participated in the competition.

00:07:34.480 And these are not college girls, okay?

00:07:37.160 Nine of the girls were between the ages of 13 and 14.

00:07:40.140 But strangely enough, the 10th name on the list was a 50-year-old man named Nicholas J. Cepeda.

00:07:48.740 Cepeda, who uses the alter ego Melody Wisehart, is a professor at York University in Toronto.

00:07:55.160 And his research specialties, Menzies found, include children and youth.

00:07:59.560 So why would a 50-year-old professor specializing in children be competing against 13-year-old girls at a swimming competition?

00:08:09.860 Again, these are not women in college he's competing against, as grotesque as that would be and is. 1.00

00:08:15.560 These are 13-year-olds.

00:08:16.860 Now, when Menzies first went down to the Pan Am Center in October, they didn't have many answers.

00:08:22.900 First, they denied that Cepeda had competed against the teen girls.

00:08:25.640 Then they admitted that he had participated in the competition.

00:08:27.960 But they wouldn't say whether he had entered the changing room with 13- and 14-year-old children.

00:08:33.720 They promised some follow-ups that never materialized.

00:08:36.680 They obviously hoped that Rebel News would just drop the story, but they didn't.

00:08:39.640 A couple months later, Menzies was back. 0.99

00:08:43.180 And this time, he tracked the 50-year-old swimmer to the East Bayfield Community Center in Barrie, Ontario,

00:08:48.760 which was playing host to the Trojan Cup Tournament.

00:08:52.040 Which, of course, brings to mind all kinds of ironic metaphors about Trojan horses and the trans agenda. 0.71

00:08:57.640 But here's what happened. Watch.

00:09:00.660 In any event, we hope to interview Nicholas Cepeda.

00:09:04.360 I think he was tipped off that we were here, and he entered the community center through a back entrance.

00:09:11.000 Perhaps we can catch him going out.

00:09:12.820 In the meantime, we're going to watch him swim.

00:09:15.820 Just will you see the perverse visuals of a 50-year-old man lining up against 13- and 17-year-old girls?

00:09:26.540 If you're not going to listen, I'm going to ask you to please stop reporting me.

00:09:51.260 You're in a public place. There's no expectation of privacy.

00:09:54.960 No, we need to call the police.

00:09:57.460 Mr. Menzies, I'm going to call Mr. Oakley on you.

00:09:59.940 How are you doing, sir?

00:10:02.260 Do you know, who are you?

00:10:06.760 No, we're not doing this.

00:10:08.700 Okay, well, you have no authorization to kick us out.

00:10:12.100 Look at those brave people confronting the reporter, but not confronting the 50-year-old man

00:10:16.620 that is competing against underage girls. 1.00

00:10:21.540 And that's exactly what's happening.

00:10:22.820 There's no longer any denying that that's what's happening.

00:10:26.000 And the response from the community center is not to explain why this is allowed.

00:10:31.440 They don't want to answer any questions about whether this guy is going to be in the changing room with these girls.

00:10:36.600 They just try to hide their faces and threaten him.

00:10:39.680 The justification they use is that filming is supposedly not allowed in the swimming area,

00:10:44.480 even though this is a public facility, as David Menzies points out,

00:10:48.360 and people are filming all over the place.

00:10:51.420 Watch.

00:10:52.980 You have to go outside, okay?

00:10:54.520 You got to go outside.

00:10:55.680 I don't think so.

00:10:56.580 We're here to cover some perversity happening in this swimming pool.

00:11:00.780 It's got nothing to do with me, David.

00:11:02.300 Okay.

00:11:02.760 Well, it has nothing to do with you.

00:11:04.200 Why are you telling us to leave?

00:11:05.680 Because you can't be doing, you can't take film in here.

00:11:08.840 We see, look, there's people right there in the front row recording.

00:11:12.360 Look at that woman in the corner. 1.00

00:11:13.580 I don't see anybody recording.

00:11:14.540 What are you talking about, that woman right there? 0.99

00:11:17.100 Okay.

00:11:17.960 Well, we'll be calling the very police right now.

00:11:19.860 Okay, you know what?

00:11:20.800 I'm tired of this.

00:11:21.800 We're going to call the police.

00:11:23.920 Because you have a 50-year-old man changing with 13-year-old girls.

00:11:29.260 Do you think that's right?

00:11:31.200 No comment.

00:11:32.320 No comment?

00:11:32.920 No comment.

00:11:35.160 Yes, hi there.

00:11:38.400 I'm at the East Bayfield Community Centre,

00:11:41.780 and there is a 50-year-old male

00:11:45.920 that has invaded the change room and showers

00:11:50.460 of 13-year-old girls.

00:11:53.740 Okay, I have a call in here for officers to attend the

00:11:56.600 East Bayfield Centre there.

00:11:57.840 He's in the swimming area now, is that correct?

00:12:01.100 He is on the swimming deck, that's right.

00:12:03.620 He just had a swim in the pool.

00:12:05.880 We're going to have officers come out soon as we can.

00:12:08.060 Okay, later.

00:12:08.540 Just very, very busy at the moment, okay?

00:12:11.780 Now, all these representatives from the community centre can do

00:12:15.140 is say no comment and threaten to have Menzies arrested

00:12:17.960 for filming in the swimming area,

00:12:21.120 even though a lot of other people are filming in the swimming area also.

00:12:24.180 They then pretend not to see all those other people filming.

00:12:26.680 I mean, it's just, it's like a comical display of cowardice.

00:12:31.000 But it's clear these people want to hide something.

00:12:34.500 So Menzies stuck around to see what it was, 0.99

00:12:36.880 and after a while, he discovered that indeed,

00:12:39.060 this 50-year-old creep was using the girls' changing rooms.

00:12:42.560 And when he was exposed for doing this,

00:12:45.120 he panicked and ran away.

00:12:46.960 Watch.

00:12:47.220 We just watched Nicholas Cepeda swim against seven other competitors.

00:12:54.980 And guess what, folks?

00:12:56.280 This gender-bending grifter came in sixth place. 1.00

00:13:01.720 That's right.

00:13:02.600 Swimming against teenage girls, he came in sixth out of eight.

00:13:08.360 What a loser.

00:13:12.580 We finally have a definitive answer

00:13:15.580 to where Nicholas Cepeda changes and showers.

00:13:20.520 It is in the girls' dressing room.

00:13:23.800 I saw it myself with my own eyes.

00:13:26.280 He didn't go into the male dressing room.

00:13:28.280 He didn't go into the family dressing room.

00:13:30.620 Mr. Cepeda, what is your deal?

00:13:35.940 Why are you swimming with 13-year-olds?

00:13:38.820 Why are you breaking world aquatic rules?

00:13:41.520 Why are you running?

00:13:44.440 What are you...

00:13:45.960 Mr. Cepeda, are you a sexual pervert? 0.54

00:13:51.500 Why won't you answer these questions?

00:13:54.960 Why are you breaking world aquatic rules?

00:13:57.240 You transitioned after puberty, did you not?

00:14:03.620 Mr. Cepeda, why are you a coward?

00:14:07.320 Do you have a...

00:14:08.240 Do you have a record of sexual perversion?

00:14:10.440 Protect me from these people.

00:14:12.180 Protect us from what?

00:14:16.160 Where are you going?

00:14:17.160 Okay, so after somehow coming in sixth place,

00:14:30.660 swimming against teen girls,

00:14:32.140 this 50-year-old man scampers away into the night.

00:14:36.120 And once again, as we see so often,

00:14:38.020 he pretends to be the victim at the end there.

00:14:40.880 Just like the officials in the swim center,

00:14:42.580 he knows that he's doing something

00:14:45.420 that has no reasonable explanation.

00:14:47.160 At least it has no explanation

00:14:48.300 that he would ever want to say out loud.

00:14:51.360 So instead he offers no explanation

00:14:53.120 and he just runs away.

00:14:55.180 Now, you have to wonder.

00:14:56.280 You have to wonder a lot of things,

00:14:58.220 but the first thing is,

00:14:59.860 where are the parents?

00:15:01.820 All the girls swimming in the East Bayfield Community Center

00:15:04.300 have parents, presumably.

00:15:06.560 What exactly are they doing through all this?

00:15:09.020 Why is it only one rebel news reporter

00:15:11.340 who's objecting at all to any of this?

00:15:12.660 Why is it just this one guy

00:15:14.620 who's chasing this dude out into the parking lot?

00:15:18.640 You know, the Toronto Sun did report on comments

00:15:20.640 from some anonymous parents at this venue.

00:15:24.420 One parent said, quote,

00:15:25.560 the girls were terrified.

00:15:27.320 It's all so confusing for the kids,

00:15:29.020 said another parent.

00:15:30.140 No one is comfortable.

00:15:31.040 Everybody is accepting of all people,

00:15:32.540 but them swimming against our kids 0.99

00:15:34.480 and being in the locker room with them

00:15:35.620 is not appropriate.

00:15:37.560 Quote, unquote.

00:15:38.260 So the parents are comfortable

00:15:41.000 speaking anonymously to the media,

00:15:42.660 but they're apparently too cowardly

00:15:43.920 to come out against this guy publicly.

00:15:46.320 And to be clear,

00:15:47.280 speaking out publicly

00:15:48.060 should be the second thing you do.

00:15:50.860 The first thing you should do

00:15:52.620 is confront this man directly.

00:15:55.320 I mean, I can tell you for absolute certain

00:15:57.140 that no man under any circumstance

00:15:59.960 would ever be allowed to enter a bathroom

00:16:02.800 or locker room

00:16:03.480 while my wife or daughters are in there.

00:16:05.540 Nor would I sit back

00:16:07.280 and watch a grown man

00:16:08.180 invade a competition

00:16:09.000 that my daughters are competing in.

00:16:11.080 This is not one of those difficult situations

00:16:13.180 where it's hard to judge people

00:16:14.600 if you aren't in their shoes, right?

00:16:16.500 No, this is not a difficult situation.

00:16:18.400 There's nothing difficult about it.

00:16:20.300 That man should not be permitted

00:16:21.640 to do what he's doing, period.

00:16:23.680 And if your own daughter

00:16:24.580 is being victimized this way,

00:16:27.140 right in front of you,

00:16:29.180 the only difficulty you should have

00:16:31.420 is in restraining yourself enough

00:16:33.380 so that you don't go to prison

00:16:35.100 So the cowardice of the parents here

00:16:38.780 is incredible.

00:16:40.480 Even more incredible

00:16:41.220 given that The Sun has also confirmed

00:16:42.920 that Cepeda was in the changing room

00:16:44.640 with girls as young as eight years old

00:16:46.220 at the East Bayfield Center

00:16:47.540 on December 1st.

00:16:49.040 The Sun reported that, quote,

00:16:50.120 girls from age eight to 16

00:16:51.880 in a Swimming Canada sanctioned swim meet

00:16:54.100 in Barrie last week

00:16:55.360 not only found themselves

00:16:56.200 in the same pool

00:16:56.960 as a transgender female swimmer,

00:16:58.300 but in the same change room too.

00:16:59.920 So we're talking about

00:17:00.680 13 to 14-year-old girls

00:17:02.200 all the way down to eight-year-olds.

00:17:03.740 And this guy has apparently

00:17:05.920 been allowed to change

00:17:06.840 in front of all of them.

00:17:09.420 Meanwhile, the Canadian mainstream media

00:17:10.940 has refused to cover this story,

00:17:12.260 of course.

00:17:12.620 And as of the latest update

00:17:13.880 we have from Rebel News

00:17:15.140 and The Toronto Sun,

00:17:16.380 both Toronto police

00:17:17.300 and Canada's swimming regulator

00:17:18.720 called Swimming Canada

00:17:20.400 are doing everything they can

00:17:21.940 to sneak this guy into events

00:17:23.720 where young girls are present.

00:17:25.880 They've allowed him to compete

00:17:27.060 in these kinds of events

00:17:28.620 since 2019,

00:17:29.660 according to some reports.

00:17:30.540 At least one rec center

00:17:32.120 has canceled an event

00:17:33.280 that would have involved Cepeda,

00:17:35.580 but it appears that's because

00:17:36.580 they were worried

00:17:37.020 about media attention,

00:17:38.600 not the safety

00:17:39.440 of underage girls.

00:17:40.460 I mean,

00:17:40.760 when they could do this

00:17:41.780 without anyone noticing

00:17:42.940 outside of the center itself,

00:17:45.800 they had been doing it.

00:17:47.720 And now that they're getting

00:17:48.400 some attention,

00:17:48.920 they're shutting it down

00:17:49.620 in some cases,

00:17:50.440 again,

00:17:50.780 only because they don't want

00:17:51.840 the scrutiny,

00:17:52.400 not because they're trying

00:17:53.060 to protect the girls.

00:17:53.720 So basically,

00:17:54.680 it's now legal in Canada

00:17:56.420 for 50-year-old degenerates

00:17:58.860 to claim their women

00:17:59.780 and then enter the changing rooms

00:18:01.080 with young girls,

00:18:01.940 girls as young as eight.

00:18:04.380 Now,

00:18:04.620 if at this point,

00:18:05.280 you still somehow harbored

00:18:06.360 any doubts or any confusion

00:18:07.780 at all about

00:18:08.620 what the transagenda is

00:18:10.680 and what its true intentions are

00:18:12.780 and why these people

00:18:14.500 are doing this,

00:18:16.260 hopefully now you have clarity.

00:18:18.500 And the frustrating thing

00:18:19.660 is that some conservatives,

00:18:20.860 including myself,

00:18:22.380 predicted years ago

00:18:23.300 that it would get to this point.

00:18:25.140 Once you're willing to lie

00:18:26.520 about objective reality

00:18:27.680 and pretend that people

00:18:28.640 can identify as any gender

00:18:29.940 they want,

00:18:30.680 then you have no logical basis

00:18:32.040 for telling a 50-year-old 0.60

00:18:33.260 that he can't compete

00:18:34.620 with eight-year-olds.

00:18:35.940 You know,

00:18:36.060 if he can invent his gender,

00:18:38.040 why can't he cosplay

00:18:39.020 as a young child?

00:18:40.840 All of this was easily foreseeable.

00:18:43.340 You didn't need to have

00:18:44.340 a crystal ball

00:18:44.980 or consult a fortune teller.

00:18:46.580 The roadmap was laid out

00:18:47.860 right in front of us.

00:18:49.240 All you had to do

00:18:49.940 was look at it

00:18:50.700 and speak up,

00:18:51.780 but not enough people did.

00:18:53.660 And those who did

00:18:54.320 were ignored.

00:18:54.840 Just a few short years

00:18:58.000 after the trans cult 1.00

00:18:58.940 took hold of Canada,

00:18:59.980 they have state-sanctioned

00:19:01.480 adult male creeps

00:19:02.880 running around

00:19:03.740 in young girls' locker rooms.

00:19:06.600 A couple decades ago,

00:19:08.240 you know,

00:19:08.520 David Menzies

00:19:09.240 would have been joined

00:19:10.160 by every father

00:19:11.280 and police officer

00:19:12.140 in Ontario

00:19:12.880 chasing that son

00:19:14.600 of a bitch down. 1.00

00:19:16.060 And now they're looking

00:19:17.180 at David Menzies

00:19:18.280 like he's the crazy one.

00:19:20.120 Like he has to justify himself

00:19:21.940 for being upset about it.

00:19:23.220 This is the reality

00:19:25.820 of life in Canada now.

00:19:27.640 And that's how

00:19:28.100 slippery slopes work.

00:19:29.500 The slippery slope

00:19:30.100 is not a fallacy

00:19:31.060 as we've been told

00:19:31.740 so many times.

00:19:33.120 It's an accurate way 1.00

00:19:34.160 to describe

00:19:34.720 how cultures change

00:19:35.960 over time,

00:19:36.540 particularly when

00:19:37.100 they are passive.

00:19:39.600 There are successive changes,

00:19:41.160 each one building

00:19:41.980 on the last

00:19:42.740 until the country

00:19:43.400 is completely unrecognizable.

00:19:45.260 To make a slippery slope

00:19:46.600 prediction

00:19:47.160 is simply to notice

00:19:49.040 the prevailing logic

00:19:50.420 of the culture.

00:19:51.340 There is no logic

00:19:53.100 to the idea

00:19:53.580 that a man

00:19:54.140 can be a woman 0.99

00:19:54.740 because he identifies

00:19:55.520 as one,

00:19:55.980 but if we accept

00:19:56.920 that non-logical logic,

00:19:59.900 then it's not difficult

00:20:01.200 to see what follows

00:20:02.180 from that

00:20:02.660 and what follows

00:20:03.300 from what follows

00:20:04.040 and so on.

00:20:06.280 Canada's farther along

00:20:07.540 the slippery slope

00:20:08.280 than we are,

00:20:08.900 that's for certain.

00:20:10.640 In fact,

00:20:11.280 they've fallen

00:20:11.700 almost entirely

00:20:12.480 to its bottom.

00:20:14.740 And now we can either

00:20:15.940 learn from their fall

00:20:17.600 or fall along with them.

00:20:21.340 Now let's get

00:20:22.240 to our five headlines.

00:21:29.420 From the Daily Wire,

00:21:30.140 former President Donald Trump

00:21:31.060 won the first in the nation

00:21:32.180 primary in New Hampshire

00:21:33.080 on Tuesday night,

00:21:33.780 beating his former

00:21:34.400 UN ambassador,

00:21:35.740 Nikki Haley.

00:21:37.120 The race was called

00:21:37.760 as Trump leads Haley

00:21:38.840 53.6 to 45.3%,

00:21:41.540 with 36% of the votes

00:21:42.640 counted,

00:21:43.000 according to the

00:21:43.520 New York Times,

00:21:44.280 so this was as of last night.

00:21:45.400 Leading up to the primary,

00:21:47.960 polls briefly show

00:21:48.680 that Haley was

00:21:49.240 within striking distance

00:21:50.200 of the former president

00:21:51.040 in the state.

00:21:52.320 The trajectory

00:21:52.760 of the New Hampshire

00:21:53.180 primary changed

00:21:54.040 after Trump captured

00:21:55.020 a strong win

00:21:55.760 in the Iowa caucuses

00:21:56.680 last week,

00:21:57.740 and Haley came in third place 0.99

00:21:58.860 behind Florida Governor

00:21:59.640 Ron DeSantis.

00:22:02.640 CNN said that the exit

00:22:03.980 polling it conducted

00:22:04.740 in New Hampshire

00:22:05.480 found that a staggering

00:22:06.480 70% of the people

00:22:07.820 who voted for Haley

00:22:08.700 were not registered Republicans,

00:22:11.600 and that's the key bit

00:22:13.280 right there that the media

00:22:15.940 was reporting.

00:22:17.180 Here is,

00:22:17.840 this is NBC,

00:22:18.800 I believe,

00:22:19.320 with more on that,

00:22:21.780 on all of the non-Republicans

00:22:24.220 who were strangely participating

00:22:26.040 in this Republican primary.

00:22:27.660 Watch.

00:22:28.900 We asked folks

00:22:29.920 coming into the polls,

00:22:31.120 do you identify

00:22:31.980 as a Republican,

00:22:33.280 do you identify

00:22:34.180 as a Democrat,

00:22:35.620 or do you identify

00:22:36.540 as an independent?

00:22:38.180 And here's what we found

00:22:39.640 in this exit poll so far,

00:22:41.120 and I think this jumps

00:22:42.020 right out at you.

00:22:42.700 A minority of voters

00:22:45.120 in this first wave

00:22:46.300 of the exit poll

00:22:47.040 in the Republican primary

00:22:48.900 identify as Republicans.

00:22:51.320 A majority, 0.78

00:22:52.800 53%,

00:22:53.820 identify as either

00:22:55.780 independents,

00:22:56.900 45%,

00:22:57.920 or,

00:22:59.080 and this is a high number

00:23:00.020 historically,

00:23:00.840 8% identify

00:23:02.960 as Democrats.

00:23:04.440 For some context here,

00:23:06.420 in 2016,

00:23:07.900 the last competitive

00:23:08.960 Republican primary,

00:23:10.080 presidential primary

00:23:10.800 in New Hampshire,

00:23:11.560 the electorate

00:23:12.700 was 55% Republican,

00:23:16.220 it was 42% independent,

00:23:19.660 and it was 3% Democratic.

00:23:22.520 So in this initial wave,

00:23:24.320 you're seeing

00:23:24.980 some significant differences

00:23:26.560 from 2016.

00:23:29.140 Okay,

00:23:29.400 so Nikki Haley

00:23:30.060 still loses,

00:23:31.060 even,

00:23:31.260 even,

00:23:31.580 you know,

00:23:32.860 her vote totals 0.95

00:23:33.800 were apparently inflated

00:23:35.100 by the fact

00:23:35.600 that a historically

00:23:36.420 disproportionate number

00:23:37.640 of non-Republicans

00:23:38.600 voted in the Republican primary,

00:23:40.440 but she still loses anyway.

00:23:42.160 Of course,

00:23:42.580 it's obviously ridiculous

00:23:43.920 that they allow

00:23:44.900 non-Republicans

00:23:45.780 to vote in the Republican primary.

00:23:47.280 The open primary concept

00:23:48.640 is totally preposterous.

00:23:51.000 There's no reason

00:23:51.920 why non-Republicans

00:23:53.020 should have any say

00:23:53.920 at all

00:23:55.420 over who the Republican nominee is.

00:23:57.180 Well,

00:23:58.880 there's no good reason

00:23:59.960 why they should have

00:24:00.520 any say at all.

00:24:01.240 There is a reason

00:24:02.200 why they want

00:24:02.980 to have a say,

00:24:04.080 which is,

00:24:05.020 of course,

00:24:05.240 to sabotage the primary

00:24:06.220 and undermine the guy

00:24:07.260 who's going to be

00:24:07.920 the eventual nominee.

00:24:09.480 And that's what this is about,

00:24:10.340 obviously.

00:24:10.860 You know,

00:24:11.100 it's not about making sure

00:24:12.740 that Trump is the nominee.

00:24:14.160 That's already been,

00:24:14.780 that's decided.

00:24:15.680 That's going to happen.

00:24:17.080 And besides,

00:24:17.520 I still think

00:24:18.200 that very clearly

00:24:19.160 Trump is the nominee

00:24:20.720 that Democrats

00:24:21.980 wanted all along,

00:24:23.260 which is why

00:24:23.580 they haven't not

00:24:24.960 stopped talking about him.

00:24:25.920 They've done everything

00:24:26.360 they can to keep him

00:24:26.980 in the news.

00:24:29.320 But now that he is

00:24:30.240 the nominee,

00:24:30.900 it weakens

00:24:31.720 and undermines him

00:24:32.520 if you undercut

00:24:33.500 his numbers

00:24:34.040 in the primary.

00:24:35.560 And the effort,

00:24:36.800 I think,

00:24:37.320 in New Hampshire

00:24:37.960 was mostly unsuccessful,

00:24:39.420 but that's the idea.

00:24:41.780 So Nikki Haley

00:24:42.400 has lost

00:24:43.020 the first two contests.

00:24:44.280 There's no indication

00:24:45.080 that she will do

00:24:45.680 any better

00:24:46.300 in any other state.

00:24:48.660 Is she dropping out,

00:24:49.920 though?

00:24:50.440 Well,

00:24:50.720 let's find out.

00:24:53.380 Now,

00:24:53.900 you've all heard

00:24:54.700 the chatter

00:24:55.260 among the political class.

00:24:57.580 They're falling

00:24:58.660 all over themselves,

00:25:00.320 saying this race 0.77

00:25:01.280 is over.

00:25:02.180 It's not over!

00:25:07.300 Well,

00:25:09.880 I have news

00:25:10.840 for all of them.

00:25:12.760 New Hampshire

00:25:13.840 is first in the nation.

00:25:16.340 It is not

00:25:17.120 the last in the nation.

00:25:18.540 This race

00:25:25.900 is far from over.

00:25:27.620 There are dozens

00:25:28.580 of states

00:25:29.460 left to go.

00:25:35.560 There we go.

00:25:36.260 So she's gonna

00:25:36.740 drag this thing out.

00:25:38.660 You've heard

00:25:39.080 that the political class,

00:25:40.940 they say

00:25:41.940 that just because

00:25:42.460 we've lost

00:25:43.180 the first two contests

00:25:44.380 and we're losing

00:25:46.140 in the polling

00:25:46.700 in every single state,

00:25:47.940 there's no indication

00:25:49.520 at all

00:25:50.000 that we have

00:25:50.360 any chance

00:25:51.200 of winning

00:25:51.900 a single primary.

00:25:53.660 They think

00:25:54.280 the race is over.

00:25:57.780 So she's not

00:25:58.500 dropping out.

00:25:59.100 And, you know,

00:25:59.500 from a,

00:26:00.320 as much as I'm

00:26:01.620 not a fan

00:26:02.280 of Nikki Haley,

00:26:02.760 from a purely

00:26:03.260 sort of pragmatic

00:26:04.200 perspective,

00:26:05.960 it doesn't surprise me

00:26:08.560 that she's not

00:26:08.960 dropping out.

00:26:10.060 I don't,

00:26:10.860 there's really no

00:26:11.480 reason for her

00:26:12.300 to drop out.

00:26:15.440 There's no,

00:26:15.960 there's no incentive

00:26:16.760 for her to drop out.

00:26:19.020 Trump's,

00:26:19.520 Trump's voters

00:26:20.100 hate her regardless.

00:26:21.340 She's not gonna get

00:26:21.940 a job in the administration.

00:26:23.400 She's not gonna be VP.

00:26:24.760 I think that's

00:26:25.120 pretty clear now.

00:26:26.500 I,

00:26:26.900 I doubt that she

00:26:27.680 actually wants that

00:26:28.800 anyway,

00:26:29.840 but whether or not

00:26:30.480 she does want that,

00:26:31.420 it's not gonna happen.

00:26:32.500 So everything's pretty

00:26:33.440 baked in at this point.

00:26:34.940 She can't win.

00:26:38.380 But if she stays in

00:26:39.900 and she's the only

00:26:42.780 other person in

00:26:43.560 and she stays

00:26:44.060 in the headlines,

00:26:45.220 it'll help her sell

00:26:46.100 more copies of

00:26:47.200 whatever book

00:26:47.920 I'm sure she's gonna

00:26:48.600 publish in the next

00:26:49.340 few months,

00:26:50.440 helps raise her

00:26:51.500 media profile.

00:26:53.220 And,

00:26:53.460 and maybe now

00:26:54.100 the move for her

00:26:54.840 is to pivot

00:26:55.540 to being sort of

00:26:56.760 CNN's token

00:26:58.080 Republican Trump

00:26:58.980 hater.

00:26:59.840 You know,

00:27:00.260 that,

00:27:00.440 that could be

00:27:00.940 the career move

00:27:01.540 for her.

00:27:02.540 Maybe that's what

00:27:03.160 she's angling for

00:27:04.020 at this point.

00:27:05.820 She,

00:27:06.380 her political career

00:27:07.380 is obviously done.

00:27:08.160 And I think

00:27:10.140 she probably 0.99

00:27:10.540 realizes that.

00:27:12.160 And,

00:27:12.520 but,

00:27:13.280 but there are,

00:27:14.460 you know,

00:27:14.740 in her spot,

00:27:15.560 there are lucrative

00:27:16.360 options.

00:27:17.840 There are ways

00:27:18.640 that you can,

00:27:20.220 for your brand,

00:27:21.640 right?

00:27:22.060 There,

00:27:22.340 there,

00:27:22.480 there are things

00:27:22.960 that she can do.

00:27:23.840 And I think that

00:27:24.700 that's what she's doing.

00:27:27.100 One other note

00:27:27.860 about Haley.

00:27:28.440 We played the clip

00:27:29.260 a few days ago

00:27:29.860 of Nikki Haley

00:27:30.460 claiming that she

00:27:31.460 was excluded

00:27:32.960 from a beauty pageant

00:27:34.080 because she was brown 0.99

00:27:35.540 and they didn't know

00:27:37.080 where to put her.

00:27:37.660 They only,

00:27:38.160 they only allowed,

00:27:39.820 the weirdest kind

00:27:41.120 of discrimination

00:27:42.820 we've ever heard of

00:27:43.980 where,

00:27:44.580 according to her

00:27:45.820 in like the 80s

00:27:46.960 in South Carolina,

00:27:48.720 you were allowed

00:27:50.140 to be in a beauty pageant

00:27:51.160 if you were white

00:27:51.800 and you were allowed

00:27:52.660 to be if you were black.

00:27:54.520 But if you were

00:27:55.440 in between

00:27:56.020 on the color spectrum,

00:27:57.720 you were not allowed.

00:27:58.780 Well,

00:27:59.000 apparently this

00:27:59.760 anti-brown discrimination,

00:28:01.480 this brown erasure 0.99

00:28:02.500 was a big problem

00:28:04.460 where she grew up.

00:28:05.380 Like this was happening

00:28:06.040 all the time.

00:28:06.480 So here she was

00:28:07.300 in an interview

00:28:08.500 apparently from years ago

00:28:09.760 that somebody dug up

00:28:11.380 and she has a similar story.

00:28:14.700 Let's listen to that.

00:28:17.040 But it was hard.

00:28:18.100 You know,

00:28:18.260 I remember on the kickball field

00:28:19.660 going out there

00:28:20.980 and there being two groups

00:28:22.280 and saying pick one

00:28:23.140 and one was a group

00:28:24.340 of black kids

00:28:24.920 and one was a group

00:28:25.480 of white kids

00:28:26.120 and they said,

00:28:27.300 which one are you?

00:28:28.000 And I said,

00:28:28.360 I'm brown.

00:28:29.120 You know,

00:28:29.540 I'm neither.

00:28:30.380 And that was the first time

00:28:31.520 I realized that

00:28:32.200 differences matter.

00:28:33.400 But I grabbed the ball

00:28:34.620 and I ran

00:28:35.080 and before we knew it

00:28:35.760 we were all playing again.

00:28:37.900 Ah,

00:28:38.320 yes.

00:28:38.640 You know,

00:28:38.900 those old black 1.00

00:28:40.060 versus white

00:28:40.900 kickball games.

00:28:42.840 You know,

00:28:43.020 black versus white 0.90

00:28:43.820 beauty pageant,

00:28:44.700 black versus white 0.90

00:28:45.500 kickball.

00:28:46.640 I remember that

00:28:47.720 from the playground days.

00:28:49.920 Recess,

00:28:50.460 you know,

00:28:50.660 in elementary school

00:28:51.420 the teacher would say,

00:28:52.220 okay,

00:28:52.500 kids,

00:28:53.580 let's play some kickball.

00:28:54.800 You know the rules.

00:28:55.880 Go gather with your

00:28:56.640 assigned race,

00:28:57.440 black and white.

00:28:58.040 Oh,

00:28:58.220 Nikki,

00:28:58.560 sorry,

00:28:58.860 not you.

00:29:00.260 This is really

00:29:01.020 a black and white thing.

00:29:02.020 You can go play

00:29:02.820 hopscotch

00:29:03.400 with the Asians

00:29:04.020 over there.

00:29:05.500 This is how it worked

00:29:06.760 for Nikki,

00:29:07.820 apparently.

00:29:08.760 No one has ever

00:29:09.680 heard of this.

00:29:10.660 No one's ever

00:29:11.260 encountered

00:29:11.760 this kind of thing.

00:29:13.240 But she,

00:29:13.860 everywhere she went,

00:29:14.740 it was,

00:29:15.020 this was going on.

00:29:16.580 And she's not,

00:29:17.620 what I love about it

00:29:18.440 is that she's not,

00:29:19.180 like,

00:29:19.300 it'd be one thing

00:29:20.280 if she was claiming

00:29:21.140 that where she grew up

00:29:23.620 all those many,

00:29:24.940 many years ago

00:29:25.440 in the ancient history

00:29:26.220 of the 1980s

00:29:27.120 in South Carolina,

00:29:27.700 if she was claiming

00:29:29.320 that there was still

00:29:31.420 like Jim Crow era 0.81

00:29:32.920 discrimination

00:29:33.820 against anyone

00:29:34.560 who wasn't white.

00:29:35.700 That wouldn't be true,

00:29:36.680 but at least

00:29:37.620 that would be

00:29:38.440 slightly more credible

00:29:40.600 than claiming that,

00:29:43.200 no,

00:29:44.840 it was actually,

00:29:45.540 like,

00:29:46.100 it was a discrimination

00:29:47.340 where it was white

00:29:48.360 and black

00:29:49.020 against browns 0.99

00:29:50.320 specifically.

00:29:52.060 That's the part

00:29:52.840 that I find

00:29:53.500 quite funny

00:29:55.020 because it's

00:29:56.980 clearly not true.

00:29:58.000 Okay.

00:30:00.140 Speaking of fake

00:30:00.920 discrimination,

00:30:01.880 Daily Mail has a story

00:30:02.940 on that note.

00:30:05.020 A lesbian couple

00:30:05.940 have hit out

00:30:06.780 at a wedding coordinator

00:30:08.060 who felt the need

00:30:08.900 to inform them

00:30:09.700 of their staunch

00:30:10.520 religious beliefs

00:30:11.280 before they booked

00:30:12.080 them for their big day.

00:30:13.920 Allie Waggy

00:30:14.760 and Jessica Robinson 0.83

00:30:15.760 from Wichita, Kansas

00:30:16.740 fell in love

00:30:18.120 with the barn

00:30:18.740 at Grace Hill

00:30:19.480 when they visited

00:30:20.100 earlier this month.

00:30:21.240 After selecting

00:30:21.640 the countryside barn

00:30:22.420 for their special day,

00:30:23.160 the pair were devastated

00:30:24.140 to receive an email

00:30:25.080 from the coordinators

00:30:25.920 telling Allie and Jessica

00:30:27.380 that, quote,

00:30:28.420 their deeply held

00:30:29.160 religious beliefs

00:30:29.780 keep them from

00:30:30.520 celebrating anything

00:30:31.400 but marriage

00:30:31.960 between a man and a woman.

00:30:33.200 The couple claimed

00:30:33.760 that they received

00:30:34.740 the heartbreaking message

00:30:35.620 after emailing

00:30:36.540 back and forth

00:30:37.180 with the wedding

00:30:37.600 coordinators for months.

00:30:39.140 The screenshot

00:30:39.680 of the email read,

00:30:41.080 I also wanted to reach out

00:30:42.080 and make sure we had

00:30:42.740 an open and honest

00:30:43.420 line of communication,

00:30:44.360 something that we desire

00:30:45.220 with all of our couples.

00:30:47.420 If you decide

00:30:47.940 that our barn

00:30:48.420 is the location

00:30:48.940 you want for your wedding,

00:30:50.260 we have learned

00:30:50.740 that it is most fair

00:30:51.860 to you to know

00:30:53.000 who we are

00:30:53.780 and where our heart is.

00:30:55.520 And in the past,

00:30:56.120 doing this at the start

00:30:56.820 helps everybody feel

00:30:57.780 so much better

00:30:58.340 moving forward

00:30:58.900 and allows you

00:30:59.540 to make the very best

00:31:00.300 decision for you.

00:31:01.540 While our deeply held

00:31:02.500 religious beliefs

00:31:03.040 keep us from celebrating

00:31:03.900 anything but marriage

00:31:04.760 between a man and a woman,

00:31:05.860 we desire to serve

00:31:06.580 everyone equally

00:31:07.360 and do not want

00:31:08.080 to keep anyone

00:31:08.700 from using our building

00:31:09.560 who would like to.

00:31:10.860 Our hearts are to serve

00:31:11.780 regardless of race,

00:31:12.700 creed, color, origin,

00:31:14.800 sexual orientation,

00:31:15.940 gender, or marital status

00:31:16.860 while maintaining

00:31:17.700 our convictions

00:31:18.320 and beliefs as well.

00:31:19.720 All couples legally

00:31:20.580 permitted to marry

00:31:21.280 in the state of Kansas

00:31:22.060 are welcome to use

00:31:22.980 the barn at Grace Hill.

00:31:24.800 Sharing this with you

00:31:25.420 is the only way

00:31:26.120 we have found

00:31:26.620 that allows everyone

00:31:27.620 to move forward

00:31:28.360 in the most authentic

00:31:29.140 way possible.

00:31:31.240 So that's what

00:31:31.660 the message said.

00:31:33.180 And then this couple,

00:31:34.180 they posted a screenshot

00:31:35.540 of this message

00:31:36.640 on Facebook.

00:31:39.140 And Allie said

00:31:40.300 she interpreted

00:31:40.820 the meaning of the email

00:31:41.720 as basically it's illegal

00:31:43.060 for me to tell you

00:31:43.740 you can't use the venue

00:31:44.660 so you can.

00:31:46.380 She added, quote,

00:31:47.280 I've cried all night.

00:31:48.500 People suck.

00:31:49.800 So if you have

00:31:50.340 venue recommendations

00:31:51.280 that believe everyone

00:31:52.380 deserves to be celebrated,

00:31:53.800 send them my way.

00:31:55.440 And then there's

00:31:56.100 a bunch of comments

00:31:56.620 that went viral

00:31:57.180 and what do you know,

00:31:59.460 another venue owner

00:32:00.940 got in touch

00:32:01.520 with Allie and Jessica

00:32:02.300 and allowed them

00:32:03.300 to use their venue

00:32:04.200 for free.

00:32:05.060 So they got a free

00:32:06.260 wedding out of it

00:32:07.000 which I'm sure

00:32:08.500 was not the intention

00:32:09.500 at all.

00:32:10.160 It just so happens

00:32:11.460 that they got

00:32:12.720 the free wedding.

00:32:13.140 Now, this story is great

00:32:17.140 because it takes

00:32:17.720 the entire modern

00:32:18.980 LGBT rights movement,

00:32:21.320 rights, quote, unquote,

00:32:22.320 and summarizes it

00:32:24.200 in just a few paragraphs.

00:32:25.940 The whole movement

00:32:26.680 is right here.

00:32:27.840 Everything you need

00:32:28.300 to know about it

00:32:28.980 is right here.

00:32:31.000 Well, I mean,

00:32:31.920 this story

00:32:32.640 and then the one

00:32:33.040 from the opening monologue,

00:32:33.920 those together

00:32:34.580 tell you everything

00:32:35.140 you need to know

00:32:35.680 about the modern

00:32:37.740 LGBT movement.

00:32:38.420 So let's just review this.

00:32:40.480 Go back through again.

00:32:42.160 Allie and Jessica

00:32:42.900 want to get,

00:32:44.100 quote, unquote,

00:32:45.000 married.

00:32:46.140 They decide that they want

00:32:47.440 to use this wedding venue.

00:32:50.200 The person who runs

00:32:51.400 the venue

00:32:51.840 or the people who run it

00:32:53.300 email them.

00:32:55.400 They're very polite.

00:32:56.640 They're very honest.

00:32:57.940 And they tell them

00:32:58.800 that they can use the venue.

00:33:00.940 They have the legal right

00:33:01.760 to use it

00:33:02.340 according to the laws

00:33:03.400 of the state,

00:33:04.060 I suppose.

00:33:04.760 And those laws 0.54

00:33:05.740 are totally wrong

00:33:06.460 and shouldn't exist.

00:33:07.300 Like, venue should have

00:33:08.240 the right to deny service

00:33:09.260 to anybody they want

00:33:09.900 for any reason.

00:33:10.880 But never mind that.

00:33:12.480 So they're told

00:33:13.080 they can use the venue,

00:33:14.020 but the people running

00:33:14.840 the venue want them

00:33:15.580 to know in the interest

00:33:16.260 of full transparency

00:33:17.040 that they do not agree

00:33:18.120 with it and they are

00:33:19.100 opening up their venue

00:33:20.200 to the event

00:33:20.780 out of, like,

00:33:21.520 obligation.

00:33:22.340 And that's what they say.

00:33:23.040 Now, we should also

00:33:24.860 note here that,

00:33:25.460 of course,

00:33:27.180 we're only getting

00:33:28.120 the gay couples version.

00:33:30.600 They're showing,

00:33:31.500 they say themselves

00:33:32.240 that there's a months-long

00:33:33.520 communication going on.

00:33:35.360 And we are apparently

00:33:37.640 seeing one email

00:33:39.000 from that whole correspondence.

00:33:41.640 So we have no idea

00:33:42.440 what was said before this.

00:33:43.880 We don't know.

00:33:45.080 That's always the way it goes.

00:33:46.420 You know,

00:33:46.600 when you've got these gay couples 1.00

00:33:47.380 that come out and complain,

00:33:48.220 they're being discriminated against,

00:33:49.720 and they tell us, like,

00:33:51.220 they give us a little snapshot

00:33:53.240 into certain portions

00:33:55.100 of this back and forth,

00:33:57.520 this exchange,

00:33:58.340 this controversy.

00:34:00.340 But there's a whole bunch

00:34:01.380 we don't know.

00:34:03.340 So,

00:34:04.480 the lesbian couple,

00:34:06.440 they're not being turned away.

00:34:08.000 They're not being rejected.

00:34:09.800 They're not being deprived

00:34:11.160 of anything.

00:34:12.540 They're simply being told

00:34:13.640 the honest truth

00:34:14.480 in a very polite,

00:34:16.440 non-confrontational,

00:34:18.560 loving way.

00:34:21.560 Now,

00:34:22.440 did the venue need

00:34:24.100 to be that honest?

00:34:24.980 Did they need to say

00:34:25.780 anything at all?

00:34:26.740 No, but they obviously

00:34:27.680 felt morally obligated

00:34:28.860 to have that level

00:34:30.000 of honesty,

00:34:30.440 which is to say

00:34:31.040 they did something

00:34:31.660 that they didn't need to do

00:34:32.620 in the sense of going

00:34:33.560 above and beyond

00:34:34.540 morally and ethically.

00:34:36.900 And they're also giving

00:34:37.860 the lesbian couple

00:34:38.560 a chance to make a decision.

00:34:40.800 The venue's being honest.

00:34:41.740 They're saying,

00:34:42.200 listen,

00:34:42.720 we're doing this

00:34:43.180 because we have to.

00:34:44.420 We don't agree with it,

00:34:45.340 but, you know,

00:34:46.260 if you want a venue

00:34:47.380 that is doing it

00:34:49.720 not out of obligation

00:34:50.760 or coercion,

00:34:52.000 but because they're

00:34:52.440 really excited about it,

00:34:53.620 then, you know,

00:34:54.520 you should go elsewhere.

00:34:55.820 And they didn't say that part,

00:34:57.120 but that is the implication.

00:34:59.420 So,

00:35:00.120 how could

00:35:01.860 the lesbians 0.91

00:35:03.200 have responded here?

00:35:04.720 Well,

00:35:05.200 they could have said,

00:35:06.120 thanks for letting us know.

00:35:07.840 We'll go ahead

00:35:08.260 and do the booking anyway.

00:35:10.780 Or they could have said,

00:35:12.080 thanks for letting us know.

00:35:12.940 We'll go elsewhere.

00:35:14.420 Both those options

00:35:15.220 would be perfectly reasonable,

00:35:16.640 perfectly mature ways

00:35:17.460 to handle it.

00:35:19.540 Instead, of course,

00:35:20.360 they select door number three,

00:35:22.780 as they always do.

00:35:24.160 And instead,

00:35:24.940 they run to social media

00:35:26.120 to whine and complain

00:35:27.420 and claim that they were

00:35:29.060 up all night crying.

00:35:31.360 Like, crying about what?

00:35:33.280 You freaking babies.

00:35:34.800 What are you crying about?

00:35:36.760 Crying because you discover

00:35:37.920 that there's a human being

00:35:39.120 in this world

00:35:39.660 who doesn't agree with you?

00:35:40.860 That's what you're crying about?

00:35:43.060 Crying because somebody

00:35:43.960 was honest with you

00:35:45.960 about their feelings?

00:35:47.480 My God.

00:35:48.040 I mean,

00:35:48.200 if I stayed up all night crying

00:35:49.940 every time somebody told me

00:35:50.960 they don't agree with me,

00:35:51.800 I would literally never sleep.

00:35:54.520 I would be going on

00:35:55.400 my 14,000th sleepless night

00:35:58.340 consecutively

00:35:59.180 and I would be dead

00:36:01.000 is what would happen.

00:36:03.020 So,

00:36:03.960 you know,

00:36:05.220 I said that this perfectly

00:36:06.140 summarizes the LGBT movement

00:36:07.620 and you see why.

00:36:10.220 And, you know,

00:36:12.120 before we get to that,

00:36:13.480 you also see

00:36:14.320 how

00:36:16.240 as much as I am

00:36:18.020 scolded 0.99

00:36:19.820 even by my fellow conservatives

00:36:22.480 and many times

00:36:23.360 by Christians

00:36:23.900 who tell me

00:36:24.320 that I'm not,

00:36:24.980 you know,

00:36:25.640 I'm not loving enough

00:36:26.880 in my approach.

00:36:27.660 I'm not gentle enough.

00:36:28.520 I should be more loving,

00:36:29.400 be more gentle.

00:36:31.320 You know,

00:36:31.600 you catch more flies

00:36:32.440 with honey and all that

00:36:33.420 and like I don't even know

00:36:34.000 why you'd want to catch flies

00:36:34.860 in the first place

00:36:35.280 but

00:36:35.440 all that stuff.

00:36:38.560 Well,

00:36:38.920 okay,

00:36:39.500 here you have someone

00:36:40.580 right?

00:36:42.140 They could not have been

00:36:44.060 nicer,

00:36:45.240 more gentle,

00:36:46.560 more loving

00:36:47.280 and it doesn't matter.

00:36:50.800 Okay?

00:36:51.240 It doesn't,

00:36:51.880 it's not like that,

00:36:52.820 that's what breaks through

00:36:54.120 and gets through to someone.

00:36:55.860 It doesn't make a difference.

00:36:57.460 They still are running

00:36:58.560 the social media

00:36:59.300 and painting you

00:37:00.400 as a bigot

00:37:01.020 and trying to destroy

00:37:01.700 your life and your business.

00:37:02.980 Makes no difference.

00:37:04.520 So,

00:37:05.020 you might as well

00:37:05.500 just be blunt

00:37:06.300 and frank

00:37:07.640 and that's not to say,

00:37:09.620 again,

00:37:09.840 I mean,

00:37:10.000 the way that they handle this

00:37:10.960 I think was,

00:37:11.380 I think it was quite,

00:37:12.140 admirable

00:37:13.020 but my point is that

00:37:14.760 you know,

00:37:15.660 if you're one of these people

00:37:16.760 that says,

00:37:18.000 oh,

00:37:18.080 you just have to be gentle,

00:37:19.060 it doesn't matter.

00:37:20.860 It doesn't matter.

00:37:23.040 But,

00:37:23.360 and what you see here

00:37:24.520 is the

00:37:25.000 flight path

00:37:26.960 of leftism

00:37:27.940 that I always talk about

00:37:28.860 which is

00:37:29.300 first they demand tolerance,

00:37:32.040 then they demand acceptance,

00:37:34.900 then they demand celebration

00:37:37.240 and then finally

00:37:39.220 they demand participation.

00:37:40.580 but really

00:37:41.640 what we find out

00:37:42.480 is that celebration

00:37:43.140 and participation

00:37:44.040 are together.

00:37:45.800 You know,

00:37:46.080 they are the same step.

00:37:48.500 So,

00:37:48.960 they demand that you

00:37:49.800 actively participate

00:37:51.700 in their lifestyle

00:37:52.880 and that you pretend

00:37:55.180 you like it.

00:37:56.280 Okay?

00:37:56.640 You do it with a smile

00:37:57.800 on your face.

00:37:58.760 It's not enough

00:37:59.480 to merely tolerate.

00:38:00.580 It's not enough

00:38:00.980 to merely accept.

00:38:02.140 It's not even enough

00:38:02.880 to merely participate.

00:38:04.120 You need to participate

00:38:06.280 enthusiastically.

00:38:10.740 So,

00:38:11.460 this lesbian couple, 0.99

00:38:13.020 they have

00:38:14.260 three of those things.

00:38:15.340 They got

00:38:15.640 tolerance,

00:38:16.600 acceptance,

00:38:17.440 participation,

00:38:18.320 right?

00:38:18.560 The wedding venue,

00:38:21.060 obviously tolerating

00:38:21.900 and accepting

00:38:22.340 and they were

00:38:24.660 participating

00:38:25.060 in the sense

00:38:25.440 that they were

00:38:25.740 offering up their venue

00:38:26.500 to be used

00:38:27.020 for this event.

00:38:29.060 So,

00:38:29.540 they got all three

00:38:30.000 of those

00:38:30.420 and you would

00:38:32.080 think if you're

00:38:32.440 not a raging

00:38:33.640 narcissist,

00:38:34.800 that would be enough.

00:38:37.700 But they didn't

00:38:38.340 get the celebration.

00:38:39.480 They didn't also get,

00:38:40.560 they got everything else

00:38:41.340 but the lesbian couple 1.00

00:38:42.480 says,

00:38:42.760 no, no, no.

00:38:43.340 We need all that

00:38:44.360 and we need you

00:38:45.280 to be there

00:38:46.660 with your pom-poms

00:38:47.860 cheering us on.

00:38:49.460 And if we don't

00:38:49.980 get that last piece,

00:38:51.700 then we are going

00:38:52.740 to be,

00:38:53.100 we're going to cry

00:38:53.860 all night.

00:38:54.600 We're going to cry.

00:38:57.080 We need you

00:38:57.660 to participate

00:38:58.240 and pretend

00:38:59.080 that you're happy.

00:39:00.420 Or we will cry.

00:39:01.520 We will never

00:39:01.960 stop crying.

00:39:04.740 Which goes back

00:39:05.580 to really

00:39:07.460 the only

00:39:07.940 appropriate response

00:39:08.840 at that point

00:39:09.540 is to say,

00:39:10.280 I don't care

00:39:10.820 if you're crying,

00:39:11.640 you babies.

00:39:12.840 Then go ahead

00:39:13.220 and cry.

00:39:13.600 What do I care?

00:39:15.660 Like,

00:39:16.020 you're not going

00:39:16.460 to use your feelings

00:39:17.260 as a cudgel

00:39:18.880 against me.

00:39:19.480 You're not going

00:39:19.680 to hammer me

00:39:20.460 over the head

00:39:20.960 with your emotional

00:39:22.480 fragility.

00:39:23.200 I don't care.

00:39:26.920 I'm sorry

00:39:27.520 but it has

00:39:28.660 to come back there.

00:39:30.420 You know,

00:39:30.660 so you might

00:39:31.040 not like

00:39:31.440 my approach

00:39:31.920 to things

00:39:32.320 but what you

00:39:32.740 discover

00:39:33.100 is that

00:39:33.620 ultimately

00:39:34.740 you have

00:39:35.480 no choice

00:39:36.200 because if you

00:39:39.380 try anything

00:39:40.160 but that

00:39:40.760 they will use

00:39:41.580 your emotions

00:39:42.220 and your kindness

00:39:43.360 and your gentleness

00:39:44.360 against you.

00:39:46.920 Okay?

00:39:47.560 They will beat you

00:39:48.920 over the head

00:39:49.720 with it

00:39:50.240 into submission

00:39:51.400 until they realize

00:39:54.800 that they just

00:39:56.280 can't.

00:39:56.760 It doesn't faze you.

00:39:57.720 absolute

00:39:59.780 just

00:40:00.320 despicable

00:40:01.700 narcissist.

00:40:03.480 Okay.

00:40:05.060 Finally,

00:40:06.020 here's another

00:40:07.540 thing to be

00:40:07.860 enraged about.

00:40:09.780 CBS has this.

00:40:11.240 An NYPD

00:40:11.760 sergeant was

00:40:12.420 arraigned on

00:40:12.880 manslaughter

00:40:13.400 charges Tuesday

00:40:14.220 after his indictment

00:40:14.960 was unsealed

00:40:15.440 in the death

00:40:15.860 of a 30-year-old

00:40:16.700 man back in

00:40:17.340 August.

00:40:18.300 Investigators

00:40:18.740 said that he

00:40:19.980 threw a cooler

00:40:20.620 at the man's

00:40:21.300 head during a

00:40:21.940 drug bust.

00:40:23.260 The emotions

00:40:23.760 were high

00:40:24.240 inside the

00:40:24.600 courtroom for

00:40:25.040 the police

00:40:25.400 officer accused

00:40:26.200 and the

00:40:27.120 victim's

00:40:27.500 families.

00:40:28.060 The local

00:40:28.280 activist said

00:40:28.780 that it's

00:40:29.040 the first

00:40:29.340 step of

00:40:29.620 justice for

00:40:30.140 the family

00:40:30.500 and accountability

00:40:30.960 for the

00:40:31.380 system.

00:40:31.840 The family

00:40:32.240 of Eric

00:40:32.680 Dupre and

00:40:34.280 local

00:40:34.560 activists

00:40:35.080 walked arm

00:40:38.100 in arm

00:40:38.440 outside Bronx

00:40:39.220 Criminal Court

00:40:39.840 Tuesday as

00:40:40.380 tense moments

00:40:40.980 unfolded.

00:40:42.480 Dupre is

00:40:43.060 probably actually

00:40:43.660 the name.

00:40:44.560 Anyway,

00:40:45.140 and we have

00:40:48.740 the surveillance

00:40:49.280 footage.

00:40:50.040 So this

00:40:50.420 shows the

00:40:51.220 Duran.

00:40:52.360 This shows

00:40:52.640 the undercover

00:40:53.220 officer who

00:40:55.820 was there at

00:40:56.360 the scene

00:40:56.900 when Eric

00:40:58.440 Dupre was

00:40:59.400 attempting to

00:41:01.820 arrest him

00:41:02.440 in a drug

00:41:02.940 bust.

00:41:04.200 And he

00:41:04.540 fled on

00:41:05.440 his motorcycle

00:41:07.400 or scooter

00:41:07.980 or whatever it

00:41:08.420 is.

00:41:09.600 And the

00:41:11.340 undercover cop

00:41:12.080 to try to

00:41:12.800 stop him

00:41:13.240 from fleeing

00:41:13.820 threw this

00:41:15.240 cooler at his

00:41:16.040 head and he

00:41:16.760 fell off the

00:41:17.780 scooter and

00:41:18.460 then he died.

00:41:19.600 We have that

00:41:20.300 video footage.

00:41:21.220 Let's watch

00:41:21.520 that.

00:41:26.560 Okay.

00:41:27.680 So, I mean,

00:41:28.480 it's an

00:41:28.720 impressive throw

00:41:29.320 first of all.

00:41:29.960 That thing

00:41:30.460 was full,

00:41:31.480 apparently it

00:41:31.820 was full of

00:41:32.160 ice and

00:41:32.680 water and

00:41:33.200 he had

00:41:33.400 picked that

00:41:33.760 thing up and

00:41:34.240 tossed it and

00:41:34.780 hit the guy 0.99

00:41:35.140 right as he

00:41:35.560 was, right,

00:41:36.620 it's like a

00:41:36.920 moving target.

00:41:40.320 So, in a

00:41:41.900 sane world,

00:41:43.200 what you'd be

00:41:44.320 doing, because

00:41:44.860 you got an

00:41:45.140 undercover cop,

00:41:45.780 you got this

00:41:46.120 criminal,

00:41:47.320 he's trying to

00:41:47.960 flee from the

00:41:48.380 scene of a

00:41:48.740 crime and

00:41:51.120 there's

00:41:51.300 pedestrians and

00:41:51.920 there's kids

00:41:52.260 all around,

00:41:52.680 it's a park,

00:41:53.300 you know,

00:41:53.460 it's a dangerous

00:41:54.620 situation already.

00:41:55.900 When you get

00:41:56.400 into a high-speed

00:41:57.020 chase situation,

00:41:57.980 it puts people's

00:41:58.980 lives in jeopardy.

00:42:00.440 And so you got

00:42:00.680 this undercover cop

00:42:01.300 going above and

00:42:01.900 beyond the line of

00:42:02.540 duty and he's

00:42:03.840 able to just

00:42:04.580 MacGyver it and

00:42:05.680 use what's around

00:42:06.480 in his surroundings

00:42:08.320 to stop this guy.

00:42:09.900 And so, in a

00:42:11.280 sane country, not

00:42:12.880 only are you not

00:42:13.920 charging him with

00:42:14.700 manslaughter, but

00:42:15.540 you are giving him

00:42:16.340 an award, right?

00:42:18.560 So, if it was up

00:42:19.560 to me, I'd be

00:42:21.120 inviting this guy

00:42:22.100 and I'd be

00:42:22.520 pinning a medal

00:42:24.320 on him for

00:42:26.640 going above and

00:42:27.380 beyond in the

00:42:27.880 line of duty.

00:42:29.000 But we don't

00:42:29.600 live in a sane

00:42:30.060 society, especially

00:42:30.680 not in New York,

00:42:31.300 so instead he's

00:42:31.740 being charged

00:42:32.260 with manslaughter.

00:42:35.880 And it's

00:42:36.600 obviously an

00:42:37.280 outrage.

00:42:37.780 the fact that

00:42:41.680 they're going

00:42:41.980 after this guy

00:42:42.600 for not only

00:42:43.380 doing his job,

00:42:44.500 but again, going

00:42:45.160 above and beyond

00:42:45.960 to protect his

00:42:46.820 community and

00:42:47.480 subdue a criminal.

00:42:49.880 It's enraging.

00:42:52.080 And really,

00:42:52.960 these situations

00:42:53.700 are remarkably

00:42:55.620 simple, or

00:42:57.360 they should be.

00:42:58.420 Like, people

00:42:58.760 act like they're

00:42:59.220 complicated, but

00:43:01.520 it's not.

00:43:02.340 It's actually

00:43:02.580 very simple.

00:43:04.000 And that is

00:43:04.480 that if you get

00:43:05.340 injured or killed

00:43:06.420 by the police,

00:43:07.780 while you are

00:43:08.360 in the process

00:43:09.120 of committing

00:43:09.700 a crime or

00:43:11.140 fleeing from

00:43:11.800 the scene of

00:43:12.420 one, it is

00:43:14.100 almost always

00:43:15.200 your fault.

00:43:16.280 And that is

00:43:16.780 what the law

00:43:17.560 should say.

00:43:18.960 And that's

00:43:19.300 how the court

00:43:19.700 system should

00:43:20.480 treat it.

00:43:22.720 That if you

00:43:23.580 get injured or

00:43:24.100 killed by the

00:43:25.440 police when they

00:43:25.960 are trying to

00:43:26.540 stop you from

00:43:27.140 committing a

00:43:27.460 crime or

00:43:28.360 detain you

00:43:31.960 under suspicion

00:43:33.740 of a crime,

00:43:34.600 you get injured

00:43:35.240 or killed,

00:43:35.680 almost always

00:43:36.740 your fault.

00:43:37.200 Now, only

00:43:38.020 in the

00:43:38.360 absolute, most

00:43:39.260 egregious, most

00:43:40.440 radically outlier

00:43:41.840 kinds of

00:43:42.520 circumstances could

00:43:43.920 it be anyone's

00:43:45.140 fault but yours.

00:43:45.900 So if this is

00:43:46.500 a, who was it

00:43:48.720 down in Phoenix?

00:43:49.540 Daniel Shaver.

00:43:50.820 This is like a

00:43:51.380 Daniel Shaver

00:43:52.100 situation where

00:43:52.780 you have someone

00:43:53.820 who is the

00:43:55.180 suspect and

00:43:56.140 they have their

00:43:56.600 hands up, kind

00:43:58.100 of what they

00:43:58.420 claimed happened

00:43:58.900 with Michael

00:43:59.160 Brown, but that 0.71

00:43:59.560 was all a lie.

00:44:01.320 Hands up,

00:44:02.340 complying, right?

00:44:04.120 And then they're

00:44:05.080 just executed on

00:44:06.140 the spot by

00:44:07.660 the police.

00:44:08.260 Well, that's

00:44:09.260 one thing.

00:44:09.940 Then clearly in

00:44:11.040 that case there

00:44:11.600 should be criminal

00:44:12.040 charges.

00:44:13.300 But outside of

00:44:15.560 that, it's on

00:44:18.460 you, man.

00:44:19.140 Like, it should

00:44:19.700 be on you.

00:44:20.380 That's your

00:44:20.720 fault.

00:44:21.780 And if there's

00:44:22.320 anything that

00:44:23.620 appears to be

00:44:24.180 slightly over the

00:44:24.940 line, if there's

00:44:25.620 something that

00:44:25.980 could kind of,

00:44:26.660 you think it

00:44:27.100 could go either

00:44:27.560 way, there's

00:44:28.220 something that

00:44:28.560 seems a little

00:44:29.000 bit, I don't

00:44:29.580 know about that.

00:44:30.820 I think in those

00:44:31.640 cases it should be

00:44:32.400 Ty goes to the

00:44:33.080 runner every

00:44:33.460 time.

00:44:34.540 And in this

00:44:34.860 case the runner

00:44:35.300 is the one

00:44:35.620 who's not

00:44:35.860 running, it's

00:44:36.500 the police.

00:44:37.440 That should

00:44:37.880 be, if there's

00:44:40.500 any kind of

00:44:41.280 slight, well, I

00:44:43.060 don't know.

00:44:43.760 And in this

00:44:44.080 case, on this

00:44:45.040 one, I don't

00:44:45.360 even think, I

00:44:45.820 don't think

00:44:46.060 there's anything

00:44:46.480 that's over the

00:44:46.980 line, I don't

00:44:47.340 think it's

00:44:47.620 anything that's

00:44:48.060 confusing, anything

00:44:48.940 about it that

00:44:50.220 should give you

00:44:50.620 any pause at

00:44:51.260 all.

00:44:51.520 It's pretty

00:44:51.780 simple.

00:44:52.940 This guy's

00:44:53.240 committing a

00:44:53.660 crime, suspected

00:44:54.260 of committing

00:44:54.580 crime, they're

00:44:54.920 trying to detain

00:44:56.340 him, he runs

00:44:56.800 away, he's on

00:44:58.500 a scooter, and so

00:45:00.480 they knocked him

00:45:01.340 off of it.

00:45:03.080 And then he

00:45:03.500 died in the

00:45:03.940 process.

00:45:04.240 Whose fault is

00:45:04.860 that?

00:45:05.800 What are they

00:45:06.540 supposed to do?

00:45:08.580 Just follow you

00:45:09.760 until the gas

00:45:10.440 runs out?

00:45:12.840 And this is, by

00:45:13.480 the way, this is

00:45:14.440 standard, now

00:45:15.280 using a cooler is

00:45:16.440 not standard

00:45:16.900 police procedure.

00:45:17.960 That was just

00:45:18.560 him being, that

00:45:19.680 was just him

00:45:20.460 being innovative.

00:45:22.000 But, you know,

00:45:24.040 ramming into a

00:45:24.780 car that's fleeing,

00:45:26.360 putting spikes down,

00:45:27.880 all different kinds

00:45:28.840 of ways.

00:45:29.880 And, you know, in

00:45:31.480 any situation like

00:45:32.260 that, if somebody

00:45:32.780 is in some kind

00:45:34.060 of vehicle, whether

00:45:35.100 it's a scooter, a

00:45:35.740 motorcycle, a

00:45:36.340 car, and they're

00:45:38.040 fleeing, and you

00:45:39.420 do anything to stop

00:45:40.540 them against their

00:45:41.280 will, it may injure

00:45:44.560 them or kill them. 0.57

00:45:46.040 Whose fault is

00:45:47.040 that?

00:45:48.040 Like, the message

00:45:48.660 should be to

00:45:49.120 criminals, the

00:45:49.700 moment you decide

00:45:50.620 to commit a

00:45:51.540 crime, the moment

00:45:53.000 you decide to run

00:45:53.800 away rather than

00:45:54.640 face the consequences

00:45:55.640 for the crime you

00:45:56.360 committed, you're

00:45:57.540 taking your life

00:45:58.020 into your hands.

00:45:58.540 And almost,

00:46:00.820 almost anything

00:46:02.400 that happens from

00:46:03.400 that point is

00:46:04.200 going to be on

00:46:05.040 you.

00:46:07.540 Unless, again, it's

00:46:08.600 the most egregious,

00:46:10.120 most clear case of

00:46:12.280 just an actual

00:46:13.140 execution, which they

00:46:14.280 always claim, BLM 0.92

00:46:15.380 is always, he was

00:46:16.040 executed.

00:46:16.600 No, he wasn't.

00:46:17.980 Okay?

00:46:18.180 He wasn't, this guy's

00:46:19.440 an idiot who got 0.89

00:46:20.280 himself killed.

00:46:22.120 And, and to be

00:46:23.580 perfectly frank with

00:46:24.280 you, it's not, you

00:46:26.040 know, it's a shame

00:46:26.880 he threw his life

00:46:27.420 away, it's always

00:46:28.640 a shame.

00:46:29.940 But is it a great

00:46:30.760 tragedy for the

00:46:31.440 community?

00:46:32.020 Is the community,

00:46:33.260 you know, we always

00:46:33.720 hear the community

00:46:34.280 suffering.

00:46:34.860 Are they really?

00:46:37.060 Like, to have drug

00:46:38.320 dealers and criminals

00:46:39.140 that have taken

00:46:40.360 themselves out of

00:46:41.380 the picture by their

00:46:42.560 own behavior?

00:46:44.160 Is the community

00:46:44.960 worse off now

00:46:45.860 without them?

00:46:48.220 Almost every single

00:46:49.140 BLM martyr you can

00:46:50.220 name, it's just an

00:46:52.360 objective fact, I'm

00:46:53.640 sorry, that their

00:46:54.700 communities are better

00:46:55.580 without them.

00:46:56.880 Because these are

00:46:57.560 dangerous criminals,

00:46:58.660 these are people who

00:46:59.320 are contributing

00:47:01.160 nothing of value to

00:47:03.140 society.

00:47:03.560 And, and so, there's

00:47:05.520 really, like, nothing

00:47:06.200 to be in tears about.

00:47:08.860 And, except, unless

00:47:10.840 it's tears of sympathy

00:47:11.880 for this police officer

00:47:13.420 who's being charged

00:47:14.360 with a crime for doing

00:47:15.480 his job.

00:47:17.720 And, it's just,

00:47:21.860 yet another case where

00:47:23.660 we are rapidly getting

00:47:25.240 to the point where I, I

00:47:26.260 don't know how, I don't

00:47:28.560 see how anyone gets

00:47:29.340 into the law

00:47:29.940 enforcement business in

00:47:31.840 the first place.

00:47:32.340 I, I just don't, I

00:47:33.040 don't know how you do

00:47:33.720 it.

00:47:34.660 They are making it

00:47:35.560 impossible to do, and

00:47:36.720 of course, that is by

00:47:39.120 design.

00:47:40.400 Let's get to what's

00:47:41.160 Walsh, Rome.

00:47:45.820 Well, if you're like me,

00:47:46.700 there's not a day that

00:47:47.360 goes by where you don't

00:47:48.660 call or text someone you

00:47:50.020 care about.

00:47:51.100 You know, everyone knows

00:48:18.760 What's more?

00:48:19.300 Well, Pure Talk's

00:48:23.640 switch in as little as

00:48:25.000 10 minutes.

00:48:25.960 So, I challenge you to

00:48:27.660 stand with a company

00:48:33.020 But you've got to go to

00:48:40.740 slash Walsh to save

00:48:42.580 company you could be

00:48:44.280 money with.

00:48:44.780 Again, puretalk.com

00:48:46.580 slash Walsh.

00:48:48.000 Okay, something a

00:48:48.740 little bit different

00:48:49.100 for Was Walsh Wrong?

00:48:51.540 Only because this is a

00:48:52.520 topic I wanted to cover

00:48:53.260 in the headlines, and I

00:48:53.880 ran out of time, so I'm

00:48:54.600 just doing it here.

00:48:55.640 And it's my show.

00:48:56.240 I can do what I want.

00:48:56.800 So, rather than Was

00:48:58.120 Walsh Wrong?

00:48:58.660 It's a little bit

00:48:59.000 different.

00:49:00.060 Maybe we'll call this

00:49:00.840 Was Kirk Wrong?

00:49:01.860 Because Charlie Kirk has

00:49:03.300 been trending with lots

00:49:05.820 of people attacking him

00:49:06.740 and calling him racist

00:49:07.520 for something that he

00:49:09.060 said on his show this

00:49:09.920 week.

00:49:10.500 And the thing that

00:49:11.380 annoys me about this is

00:49:13.260 that plenty of

00:49:14.080 conservatives were

00:49:16.180 jumping on the dogpile

00:49:17.420 and calling Kirk a

00:49:19.020 racist as well for this.

00:49:21.200 And so let's watch the

00:49:21.980 clip, and we'll find

00:49:24.880 out if Kirk was wrong.

00:49:27.340 Is he racist?

00:49:28.580 Let's listen.

00:49:30.480 And that's why I think

00:49:31.800 this United story and the

00:49:33.280 DEI story hits so hard

00:49:35.640 because we've all been in

00:49:37.040 the back of a plane when

00:49:38.500 the turbulence hits or when

00:49:40.100 you're flying through a

00:49:40.800 storm and you're like, I'm

00:49:41.680 so glad I saw the guy with

00:49:43.380 the right stuff and the

00:49:44.400 square jaw get into the

00:49:45.820 cockpit before we took off.

00:49:47.720 And I feel better now

00:49:48.960 thinking about that.

00:49:49.420 No, I mean, like, you

00:49:49.800 want to go thought crime?

00:49:50.620 Like, I'm sorry.

00:49:51.820 If I see a black pilot, I'm 1.00

00:49:53.620 going to be like, boy, I

00:49:54.320 hope he's qualified.

00:49:55.600 Well, that's the

00:49:56.120 inferior.

00:49:57.000 You wouldn't have done

00:49:58.220 that before.

00:49:58.620 That's not an immediate.

00:49:59.840 No, you wouldn't have

00:50:00.480 done that before.

00:50:01.140 That's not who I am.

00:50:01.420 That's not what I believe.

00:50:02.580 It is the reality the

00:50:03.560 left has created.

00:50:05.900 Okay, so I know we're

00:50:07.380 supposed to read comments

00:50:08.040 here, but I don't think

00:50:08.880 that's necessary.

00:50:09.580 A whole bunch of

00:50:09.960 comments calling Kirk a

00:50:10.840 racist for that.

00:50:11.860 You can imagine.

00:50:13.480 Fill in the blanks.

00:50:14.780 Like I said, plenty of

00:50:15.680 people on the right

00:50:16.520 joining in, which I

00:50:17.980 always find disgusting.

00:50:19.700 You know, look, even if

00:50:21.060 you think he's wrong and

00:50:22.520 he's not, but you don't

00:50:24.540 you don't jump on a

00:50:25.400 dog pile against the

00:50:26.640 guy on your own side.

00:50:29.900 Why do you even need

00:50:31.000 to?

00:50:31.960 You know, if there's

00:50:32.760 already 10,000 people

00:50:34.140 screaming, this is racist.

00:50:35.560 He's awful.

00:50:36.840 Why do you need to

00:50:37.760 chime in?

00:50:38.360 Like, yes, I too

00:50:39.360 believe this.

00:50:40.000 I also disagree with

00:50:41.180 this.

00:50:42.040 I'll never get that.

00:50:43.020 You got 10,000 people

00:50:44.040 have already said that

00:50:45.820 they disagree.

00:50:46.360 Why do you think you

00:50:47.340 need to also?

00:50:48.320 No one gives a damn

00:50:49.000 what you think.

00:50:49.560 Like, why do you also

00:50:51.200 need to just say, and I

00:50:52.740 and I as well.

00:50:53.780 I yes, me too.

00:50:56.100 Well, and that's

00:50:57.940 rhetorical.

00:50:58.480 I know why they feel

00:50:59.480 the need to do it.

00:51:00.060 But in any case, was

00:51:01.620 Kirk wrong about this?

00:51:02.560 Was he racist?

00:51:03.500 No, of course not.

00:51:04.940 What he said was

00:51:05.600 obviously true.

00:51:06.460 The only thing he's

00:51:08.600 doing different is that

00:51:09.520 he's he's he's saying

00:51:11.000 the words out loud.

00:51:12.280 You know, he's saying

00:51:13.520 out loud what is the

00:51:14.600 clear implication of

00:51:15.760 DEI, which is that

00:51:17.260 since the airlines have

00:51:18.360 announced their

00:51:19.040 intention to increase

00:51:19.960 the number of minority

00:51:20.920 and female pilots and 1.00

00:51:22.380 decrease the number of

00:51:23.540 white male pilots, that 1.00

00:51:24.760 means they are taking

00:51:25.500 something other than

00:51:26.720 merit and skill into

00:51:27.960 account in the hiring

00:51:28.820 process.

00:51:29.560 There is something else.

00:51:30.600 There is a not even if

00:51:31.340 you want to claim that,

00:51:32.080 well, but they also are

00:51:32.960 looking for merit and

00:51:33.620 skill.

00:51:34.960 Doesn't matter.

00:51:35.860 They brought something

00:51:37.080 else into the picture

00:51:38.320 that has nothing to do

00:51:39.840 with merit and skill.

00:51:40.960 And that is the problem.

00:51:42.440 So it also means that,

00:51:44.640 you know, if you see a

00:51:46.160 black pilot.

00:51:46.700 Well, that he he could

00:51:50.480 have he could he

00:51:51.960 obviously easily could be

00:51:54.800 perfectly qualified for

00:51:55.760 the job.

00:51:56.680 He could be someone who

00:51:57.480 got the job before DEI

00:51:58.880 existed, or he could be

00:51:59.960 someone who got the job

00:52:00.860 when DEI existed, but

00:52:02.880 but would have gotten it

00:52:04.040 without DEI.

00:52:04.860 I mean, all of that is

00:52:05.720 perfectly possible, but

00:52:08.920 he could also be someone

00:52:10.840 who got it because he fit

00:52:12.800 the DEI demo.

00:52:13.760 So there is that

00:52:15.420 wariness and suspicion

00:52:16.700 that happens because we

00:52:19.300 don't know.

00:52:20.640 We don't know.

00:52:21.680 Now.

00:52:22.980 If you have a white male

00:52:24.280 pilot, you know, you

00:52:27.200 know that he has the job

00:52:28.980 based on merit because

00:52:30.120 there is no program,

00:52:31.440 there is no policy,

00:52:32.400 there is no initiative

00:52:33.200 explicitly trying to

00:52:34.900 increase the number of

00:52:35.860 white males in the

00:52:36.940 industry.

00:52:38.160 So he couldn't have

00:52:39.720 gotten a job because of

00:52:40.800 DEI.

00:52:42.100 That's one of the

00:52:42.940 ironies here is that

00:52:43.960 that all you know,

00:52:44.820 you're doing this because

00:52:45.620 you want to have fewer

00:52:46.220 white male pilots or

00:52:47.620 whatever, but you're

00:52:48.640 you're just making

00:52:49.580 people.

00:52:52.380 Although you are

00:52:53.200 decreasing the number

00:52:54.240 and you're taking

00:52:55.340 opportunities away from

00:52:55.980 people that are

00:52:56.600 otherwise qualified,

00:52:57.940 which is horrible.

00:53:01.280 In a way, you're making

00:53:02.400 people like biased in

00:53:04.840 favor, even if they

00:53:06.800 won't say it out loud,

00:53:07.800 the way that Charlie

00:53:08.640 Kirk did.

00:53:08.980 you're making people

00:53:10.440 biased in favor of

00:53:12.560 white male pilots in a

00:53:13.520 way that they would not

00:53:14.260 have been otherwise.

00:53:15.240 But now they are.

00:53:16.900 Because like, well,

00:53:17.480 okay, they're the only

00:53:18.180 ones who, especially

00:53:19.980 now, if they have, if

00:53:21.640 they got that job in

00:53:23.120 spite of all the, like

00:53:24.300 you're a white male and

00:53:26.580 these industries are not

00:53:27.320 interested in you and

00:53:28.140 you still got the job.

00:53:29.340 Well, then you must be

00:53:30.220 super good at your job

00:53:31.880 that you still got it.

00:53:33.240 Um, so that's, that's

00:53:36.640 what's happening here.

00:53:38.100 Um, and what you might

00:53:39.760 be picking up on is

00:53:40.820 that, yes, DEI has the

00:53:43.160 side effect of calling

00:53:44.940 into question the skills

00:53:46.120 and competence of

00:53:47.100 everybody in every

00:53:48.700 demographic except white

00:53:50.860 males.

00:53:52.560 And also Asians, Asian

00:53:54.300 males in most of these 0.53

00:53:55.680 industries too.

00:53:56.780 So that's it.

00:53:59.460 It's like white males and 1.00

00:54:00.960 Asian males in most

00:54:02.660 industries are the only

00:54:03.980 ones who are not called

00:54:04.860 into question now because

00:54:05.620 of it.

00:54:07.600 Uh, whose fault is that?

00:54:09.480 It's not Charlie Kirk's

00:54:10.240 fault.

00:54:10.820 It's DEI's fault.

00:54:12.680 If you don't like it, I

00:54:14.940 don't like it.

00:54:15.920 Well, get rid of DEI,

00:54:18.580 get rid of affirmative 1.00

00:54:19.380 action in every form.

00:54:21.620 And then all of this goes

00:54:22.980 away.

00:54:23.700 Then this is not an issue

00:54:24.680 anymore.

00:54:26.760 But if, if that is, so

00:54:28.380 if, but that's the only

00:54:30.280 way.

00:54:30.600 Get rid of any, when it

00:54:34.780 comes to hiring and

00:54:35.540 recruiting in any

00:54:36.220 industry, what you do is

00:54:38.980 you state outright, we

00:54:40.820 don't care about race or

00:54:43.340 gender.

00:54:43.720 It doesn't matter to us.

00:54:45.360 We are just looking for

00:54:46.880 the best of the best.

00:54:48.120 That's all we're looking

00:54:48.940 for.

00:54:50.100 You know, United could

00:54:51.000 come out and announce

00:54:51.980 our one single goal for

00:54:55.380 recruitment is to have

00:54:56.460 100% of the most

00:54:58.440 qualified people, period.

00:55:00.280 And we do not care what

00:55:01.620 they look like.

00:55:03.820 United announces that and

00:55:05.080 actually enacts it, then

00:55:06.140 great.

00:55:08.240 And none of this is an

00:55:09.240 issue anymore.

00:55:12.520 But if they won't, then it

00:55:13.960 remains a live issue.

00:55:16.020 Lady Ballers is the 0.89

00:55:16.800 hilarious story of how a

00:55:18.040 group of male losers who

00:55:19.160 can't win against other

00:55:20.060 men decide to identify as

00:55:21.300 women and join a women's 1.00

00:55:22.600 basketball league.

00:55:23.320 Yes, it's absurd, it's

00:55:24.200 ridiculous, it's laughable.

00:55:25.700 It's happening right now in

00:55:26.800 the world today.

00:55:27.580 Here's a quick look at what

00:55:28.460 is being called the most

00:55:29.360 triggering movie of the

00:55:30.800 decade.

00:55:31.580 Leftists are losing it over

00:55:33.300 Lady Ballers. 0.80

00:55:34.740 Nothing's changed.

00:55:35.920 This movie is a straight up

00:55:37.480 and intentional transphobic

00:55:39.320 hate crime.

00:55:40.340 What?

00:55:41.080 I see you.

00:55:42.300 The Lady Ballers movie

00:55:43.520 needs to be banned.

00:55:45.260 I'll cancel you.

00:55:46.540 Go ahead and get the

00:55:46.880 blinds, please.

00:55:47.860 Toad 11.

00:55:49.160 The most toxic BS you've

00:55:51.660 ever seen.

00:55:52.340 You're a monster.

00:55:53.840 Yeah.

00:55:54.540 Next level hate speech

00:55:55.980 propaganda.

00:55:56.740 That's it.

00:55:57.200 That's the pitch.

00:55:57.880 Watch the most triggering

00:55:59.080 comedy of the decade.

00:56:01.640 Woohoo! 1.00

00:56:03.240 Lady Ballers, streaming

00:56:04.980 exclusively on Daily Wire

00:56:06.620 Plus.

00:56:07.460 Don't wait, watch Lady 0.99

00:56:08.520 Ballers, the movie that

00:56:09.560 Hollywood didn't make so

00:56:10.700 we did, exclusively on

00:56:12.400 Daily Wire Plus now.

00:56:13.580 Well, it's a cliche at this

00:56:21.000 point, but no less true that

00:56:22.340 in our culture today, the

00:56:23.660 demand for racism far

00:56:25.120 exceeds the supply.

00:56:26.120 There's no denying that

00:56:26.880 fact.

00:56:27.180 And it's equally obvious that

00:56:28.220 the same rule applies to

00:56:29.360 other well-worn isms like

00:56:31.140 sexism.

00:56:32.260 There's a huge demand for

00:56:33.260 sexism, but very little of

00:56:34.600 it to be found.

00:56:35.380 So those in search of this

00:56:36.560 elusive resource must resort

00:56:38.980 to increasingly desperate

00:56:40.080 measures.

00:56:40.460 They must look under every

00:56:41.620 rock and every nook and

00:56:42.880 cranny and crevice.

00:56:43.740 They must plunge into the

00:56:45.320 deepest caverns, torches in

00:56:46.860 hand, looking for ways to

00:56:48.100 be persecuted by a

00:56:49.440 patriarchy that is seemingly 0.81

00:56:51.260 nowhere to be found.

00:56:52.120 And if they still can't find

00:56:53.860 sexism in any of those

00:56:54.920 places, then they are

00:56:56.540 forced to find it at the

00:56:58.300 Oscars.

00:56:59.260 Which brings us to the

00:57:00.080 most excruciatingly stupid

00:57:01.620 outrage cycle of this new

00:57:03.160 year.

00:57:04.460 One stupid enough that by

00:57:05.860 December of 2024, it may

00:57:07.200 still remain in the top five

00:57:08.900 stupidest outrage cycles of 0.97

00:57:10.440 the year.

00:57:11.580 And then again, all signs

00:57:12.440 are pointing towards this

00:57:13.180 being an especially stupid

00:57:14.320 year.

00:57:14.600 So the competition will be

00:57:15.640 pretty tough.

00:57:16.600 But in any event, the

00:57:17.840 Academy Award nominees were

00:57:18.820 announced yesterday.

00:57:19.960 And I read a list of the

00:57:21.080 nominees.

00:57:21.600 And as expected, I have not

00:57:23.940 seen 95% of the films

00:57:25.360 nominated.

00:57:26.080 I haven't heard of 70% of

00:57:29.140 the 95%.

00:57:30.460 Oppenheimer, which of course

00:57:31.880 I have heard of, led the way

00:57:33.300 with 13 nominations.

00:57:34.720 Something called Poor

00:57:35.540 Things got 11 nominations.

00:57:37.760 Martin Scorsese's 14-hour

00:57:39.520 epic about evil white people,

00:57:40.980 The Killers of the Flower

00:57:41.680 Moon, scored 10 nominations.

00:57:43.860 Meanwhile, Barbie acquitted 0.73

00:57:45.580 itself quite well, and much

00:57:47.280 better than it deserved to,

00:57:48.640 with eight nominations.

00:57:50.500 Eight nominations seems like a

00:57:52.580 very respectable tally.

00:57:53.940 But it was not good enough for

00:57:55.620 the crowds on social media,

00:57:56.920 especially because although

00:57:57.740 Barbie was nominated for eight

00:57:58.980 awards, Greta Gerwig was not

00:58:01.280 nominated for Best Director,

00:58:02.720 and Margot Robbie, Barbie

00:58:03.920 herself, was not nominated for

00:58:05.920 Best Actress.

00:58:06.800 Why not?

00:58:08.460 Well, probably because Oscar

00:58:10.500 voters felt that other people

00:58:12.280 happened to be more deserving

00:58:13.580 of an award.

00:58:15.260 And maybe also because eight

00:58:17.020 nominations for a toy commercial

00:58:18.980 is already embarrassing enough

00:58:21.140 for the Academy Awards.

00:58:22.360 Ten would be over the top.

00:58:24.760 So there are many potential

00:58:25.900 reasons, but the outraged

00:58:27.500 masses settled on their own 0.61

00:58:28.860 explanation, which is that this

00:58:30.080 is all due to sexism, of course.

00:58:31.800 The Daily Mail reports, quote,

00:58:32.660 Fury is mounting on social media

00:58:34.720 after Margot Robbie and Greta

00:58:36.440 Gerwig were snubbed for Oscar

00:58:37.980 nominations for their film

00:58:39.140 Barbie.

00:58:39.580 The omissions attracted extra

00:58:41.060 attention on the account of the

00:58:42.760 fact that Ryan Gosling, who

00:58:44.200 played Ken, did get nominated

00:58:46.080 for Best Supporting Actor.

00:58:47.620 Some social media commentators

00:58:48.860 leapt to point the finger at

00:58:50.100 sexism.

00:58:50.940 Quote, Ryan Gosling, while

00:58:52.500 deserving, got an Oscar

00:58:53.580 nomination for Barbie, while

00:58:54.820 Greta Gerwig and Margot Robbie

00:58:56.320 didn't, wrote one outraged fan

00:58:58.520 on X, completely proving the

00:59:00.280 point of the movie in 20-effing

00:59:01.780 24.

00:59:02.960 You cannot make this up, the

00:59:04.400 social media user added,

00:59:05.680 referring to the movie's

00:59:06.780 feminist themes.

00:59:07.880 Quote, wait, Ryan Gosling

00:59:09.620 got nominated for his role as

00:59:11.060 Ken, but Margot Robbie didn't 0.99

00:59:12.560 get nominated for Barbie, and

00:59:13.780 Greta Gerwig got snubbed for

00:59:15.060 Best Director?

00:59:15.880 Way to justify the literal

00:59:17.180 plot of the movie, wrote

00:59:18.860 another X user, echoing the

00:59:20.340 theme.

00:59:21.060 A third grouse, quote, if Ryan

00:59:22.600 deserved a nom, then Margot

00:59:23.860 certainly did.

00:59:24.580 The fact she didn't, she

00:59:26.140 wouldn't have won isn't the

00:59:27.120 point.

00:59:27.640 It almost feels like the

00:59:28.620 Academy deliberately played

00:59:29.940 into the theme of the movie

00:59:31.020 to get people talking.

00:59:32.600 Hashtag Oscars haven't been

00:59:33.940 about who actually deserves

00:59:35.760 it for a long time.

00:59:37.720 Now, indeed, there were many

00:59:38.420 expressions of grief like

00:59:39.540 this.

00:59:39.800 Someone else wrote, I'm

00:59:40.740 sorry, but the straight white

00:59:41.960 guy in Barbie got nominated

00:59:43.220 and not the actual women who 0.99

00:59:44.760 made the movie, all caps.

00:59:46.920 Now, the award for most

00:59:48.040 melodramatic comment, which

00:59:49.340 was retweeted tens of

00:59:50.600 thousands of times, I think

00:59:51.780 had like 30,000 retweets,

00:59:53.360 goes to this comment.

00:59:54.180 It said, I don't think men

00:59:56.140 will ever understand how

00:59:57.340 deeply painful this is.

00:59:59.140 A film about women, made by 1.00

01:00:01.260 and for women, about the

01:00:02.480 difficulties of being a

01:00:03.580 woman in the modern

01:00:04.240 patriarchal world, and they

01:00:05.840 didn't even nominate the

01:00:06.960 leading actress or the

01:00:08.100 female director? 0.99

01:00:10.140 Yes, how painful.

01:00:11.760 The deep, searing pain of

01:00:13.520 watching as a couple of

01:00:15.200 millionaire women you don't 1.00

01:00:16.540 know aren't nominated for

01:00:18.080 Oscars.

01:00:19.200 Well, they were nominated for

01:00:20.580 Oscars in the screenplay and

01:00:21.840 producer categories, but they

01:00:23.640 weren't nominated in the

01:00:24.460 categories you want, which

01:00:25.980 has caused you unimaginable

01:00:27.780 suffering and pain.

01:00:29.760 I mean, you know, there are

01:00:31.660 people in this world today at

01:00:33.040 this very moment who are

01:00:34.480 malnourished, who are

01:00:36.140 homeless, who are starving,

01:00:39.000 who are dying of horrible

01:00:40.980 diseases, who are watching

01:00:42.600 their family members die.

01:00:44.760 But those people, especially if

01:00:46.240 they're men, cannot understand 1.00

01:00:48.280 the depths of pain that this

01:00:50.760 girl on Twitter must be 0.99

01:00:51.940 feeling because Barbie was

01:00:53.380 snubbed at the Oscars.

01:00:55.160 You know, it just, it all

01:00:56.120 makes sense.

01:00:57.340 Meanwhile, it goes without

01:00:57.980 saying that the luminaries

01:00:58.980 over on TikTok jumped on the 0.90

01:01:00.500 outrage bandwagon.

01:01:02.020 Here's just one example.

01:01:03.540 Watch.

01:01:04.800 No, because literally

01:01:05.900 yesterday I was thinking to

01:01:07.380 myself that if Barbie got

01:01:09.340 snubbed with Margot Robbie not

01:01:11.240 being in the best actress

01:01:12.340 category or Greta Ehrig not

01:01:14.160 being in the best director

01:01:15.740 category, then the point of

01:01:18.140 Barbie is just like so in your

01:01:19.820 face at that point.

01:01:21.060 I just checked all of the

01:01:22.440 Oscar nominations like five

01:01:23.820 minutes ago.

01:01:24.340 I would have done it earlier

01:01:25.020 this morning, but obviously I

01:01:26.480 had school.

01:01:27.380 But this is insane.

01:01:29.000 Like, they actually had the

01:01:29.800 balls to do it.

01:01:30.380 Like, they didn't care about

01:01:31.060 public backlash or anything.

01:01:32.580 Like, I was literally thinking

01:01:33.800 to myself the other day that

01:01:34.800 it would be so funny if they

01:01:35.900 actually pulled something like

01:01:37.100 this.

01:01:37.300 But I thought to myself,

01:01:38.360 there's no way.

01:01:39.000 You know, the year of the 0.99

01:01:39.580 Barbie movie, Barbie was

01:01:40.380 such a big hit, especially in

01:01:43.520 its messaging.

01:01:44.360 I feel like they weren't, I

01:01:45.480 felt like they weren't going to

01:01:46.160 do it.

01:01:46.520 And they did.

01:01:47.320 Now, I only want to say one

01:01:50.240 thing about that.

01:01:51.320 It was bad enough when

01:01:52.760 literally became a filler word

01:01:54.440 that you use three times in one

01:01:55.880 sentence for no particular

01:01:56.840 reason.

01:01:57.200 But what I can't abide and what I

01:01:58.980 will not allow, I will not

01:02:01.160 allow this new thing found

01:02:03.100 mostly among Gen Z women where

01:02:05.060 they begin a sentence with the

01:02:06.840 words, no, because.

01:02:09.520 Or they put it all together as

01:02:10.840 she did and make it no, because

01:02:12.240 literally.

01:02:13.180 Those are three words at the

01:02:14.460 very beginning of your statement

01:02:15.300 that have absolutely no meaning

01:02:16.940 in the context and no reason

01:02:18.820 to be there.

01:02:19.920 You are three words deep into

01:02:21.900 your sentence and you haven't

01:02:23.180 said anything at all.

01:02:24.960 Okay, you've said three things

01:02:26.160 already and you've said

01:02:27.100 nothing.

01:02:28.220 That's an issue for another

01:02:29.100 day.

01:02:29.740 Anyway, the media jumped onto

01:02:31.840 the bandwagon to Scott Feinberg

01:02:34.400 at The Hollywood Reporter had

01:02:35.580 this to say, though Gerwig and

01:02:37.480 Robbie are nominated in other

01:02:38.500 categories for writing and

01:02:39.560 producing, and though Barbie did

01:02:40.880 receive eight nominations,

01:02:41.940 including Best Picture, the

01:02:43.180 optics of excluding the women 0.99

01:02:44.900 most responsible for a

01:02:46.140 critically acclaimed film that

01:02:47.240 became the biggest blockbuster

01:02:48.360 of 2023 from the directing and

01:02:49.940 lead actress categories are not

01:02:51.800 good.

01:02:53.100 Yes, those optics, those optics

01:02:55.180 are very bad.

01:02:56.000 And when awards are given to

01:02:57.400 pieces of art, the most

01:02:58.800 important thing to consider is

01:03:00.160 optics.

01:03:02.600 Now, one thing is for sure,

01:03:03.640 Ryan Gosling is worried about

01:03:05.180 the optics, which is why he, a

01:03:06.660 co-star in the film, wrote a

01:03:08.300 lengthy statement all but

01:03:10.320 apologizing for being nominated

01:03:12.120 for his own performance.

01:03:13.180 Quote, I'm extremely honored to

01:03:15.240 be nominated by my colleagues

01:03:16.400 alongside such remarkable

01:03:17.600 artists in a year of so many

01:03:18.760 great films, and I never

01:03:20.000 thought I'd be saying this, but

01:03:20.880 I'm also incredibly honored and

01:03:22.100 proud that it's for portraying a

01:03:23.480 plastic doll named Ken.

01:03:24.800 But there is no Ken without

01:03:26.180 Barbie, and there is no Barbie

01:03:27.480 without a movie without Greta

01:03:29.420 Gerwig and Margot Robbie, the

01:03:30.800 two people most responsible for

01:03:32.100 this history-making, globally

01:03:33.460 celebrated film.

01:03:34.740 No recognition would be possible

01:03:36.000 for anyone on the film without

01:03:37.380 their talent, grit, and genius.

01:03:39.200 To say that I'm disappointed that

01:03:40.900 they are not nominated in their

01:03:42.060 respective categories would be

01:03:43.020 an understatement.

01:03:44.140 Their work should be recognized

01:03:45.220 along with every other, along

01:03:47.340 with the other very deserving

01:03:48.580 nominees.

01:03:50.140 Now, soon after that statement

01:03:51.180 was posted, America Ferreira,

01:03:52.660 another co-star nominated for

01:03:54.840 her role in the film, posted

01:03:56.060 something similar.

01:03:57.000 Now, of course, the fact that

01:03:59.120 America Ferreira, a woman, was 0.89

01:04:01.720 nominated would seem to greatly

01:04:03.960 undercut the sexism angle.

01:04:06.300 And the fact that Margot Robbie

01:04:07.760 wasn't nominated for Best

01:04:09.620 Actress because five other women 0.98

01:04:12.160 were nominated for the award

01:04:14.200 would also seem to undermine

01:04:15.700 the efforts to tie this to

01:04:16.900 misogyny.

01:04:18.120 Like, in fact, in general,

01:04:20.100 any time you're saying that a

01:04:21.220 woman was not nominated for

01:04:22.340 Best Actress because of sexism,

01:04:25.620 there's always going to be a

01:04:26.280 problem there, assuming that the

01:04:28.760 category is still filled with

01:04:30.140 other women. 1.00

01:04:30.760 Now, if we get to the point where

01:04:31.740 there are five nominees for Best

01:04:33.600 Actress and they're all trans 1.00

01:04:35.820 identified males, then you'd have

01:04:38.220 a point, although that will also

01:04:39.260 be hilarious and that will

01:04:40.220 eventually happen.

01:04:40.840 But anyway, that's, you know,

01:04:43.140 that's all the case if you care

01:04:44.940 about making sense, which most

01:04:46.140 of these people don't.

01:04:47.480 In fact, Gerwig wasn't nominated

01:04:49.720 for Best Director, but a woman

01:04:50.900 named Justine Treat, who directed

01:04:52.920 something called Anatomy of a

01:04:54.360 Fall, was nominated.

01:04:56.080 So the claim here is that Gerwig and

01:04:57.500 Robbie were denied nominations as

01:04:59.580 part of a sexist conspiracy, even

01:05:00.880 though they both were nominated in

01:05:02.780 other categories and other women who 1.00

01:05:04.300 are not Gerwig and Robbie were

01:05:06.480 nominated in the categories that

01:05:07.800 Gerwig and Robbie were denied.

01:05:10.600 Obviously, trying to connect this to

01:05:12.240 patriarchy and sexism is yet another

01:05:13.800 delusional and desperate attempt by

01:05:15.700 very bored and very shallow people to

01:05:17.680 feel persecuted because they don't

01:05:19.060 know how to find any meaning in life

01:05:20.560 except through a false personal

01:05:22.180 narrative of victimization.

01:05:23.800 You know, that's what's clearly going

01:05:25.020 on here, and that's the obvious

01:05:26.800 part of the story.

01:05:28.440 But the other part, which should be

01:05:30.460 even more obvious, is that the Barbie

01:05:33.720 movie does not deserve to be nominated

01:05:36.320 for anything in the first place.

01:05:39.500 Okay?

01:05:39.960 I haven't seen it.

01:05:41.320 I don't plan to see it.

01:05:43.280 But even without seeing it, I know

01:05:45.300 that the movie is basically trash.

01:05:47.100 I 100% know that.

01:05:48.340 It's a fact.

01:05:49.200 Like, I cannot be wrong.

01:05:50.760 And I'm not even saying, I'm not

01:05:51.860 worried about the wokeness, I'm not 0.72

01:05:52.780 worried about the feminism, the 1.00

01:05:53.780 ideological stuff.

01:05:54.660 I'm not saying it because of any of

01:05:56.060 that.

01:05:57.220 What I do know for an absolute fact is

01:05:58.740 that a film produced by the Mattel

01:06:00.840 toy company for the primary purpose of

01:06:04.020 selling Mattel merchandise cannot be and

01:06:07.900 is not a towering artistic achievement.

01:06:12.040 Okay?

01:06:12.560 You could try to find whatever deep

01:06:14.620 meaning you want in the Barbie movie,

01:06:16.300 but it is, without question, primarily

01:06:18.340 a giant toy commercial.

01:06:20.740 That is why the film exists.

01:06:23.120 It's why Mattel made $125 million in

01:06:25.580 additional sales in the first few months

01:06:27.340 after the Barbie movie came out.

01:06:29.520 Sales for Barbie dolls and other

01:06:30.860 Mattel brand dolls were up 25%.

01:06:34.960 That was the fundamental point of the

01:06:37.460 movie, to advertise and sell their

01:06:40.680 merchandise, and it succeeded greatly

01:06:42.380 on that front.

01:06:43.040 So all the debates about, what does this

01:06:44.360 movie really mean?

01:06:45.040 What's it all about?

01:06:45.720 What are they trying to say?

01:06:46.520 What they're trying to say is, buy a

01:06:48.340 Barbie doll.

01:06:49.200 That's what they're trying to say.

01:06:50.160 Like, that's the message.

01:06:51.340 Okay?

01:06:52.180 That's it.

01:06:53.640 And that's why Mattel is now planning

01:06:55.480 movies based on Hot Wheel Cars and

01:06:57.420 Polly Pocket and Rock'em Sock'em 1.00

01:06:59.640 Robots.

01:07:00.380 Somehow Uno cards are going to get

01:07:02.340 their own movie now.

01:07:04.520 So as the superhero movie epidemic

01:07:06.800 finally starts to wane, and you might

01:07:09.900 feel like you could finally breathe a

01:07:10.940 sigh of relief, and maybe we'll get

01:07:12.200 some real films finally.

01:07:13.480 We'll get back to making real cinema,

01:07:15.780 actual movies, actual art, you know.

01:07:19.780 But no, because now it appears that

01:07:21.320 the Marvel universe will be supplanted

01:07:24.060 by the Mattel universe.

01:07:26.020 Thanks to all you people who pretended

01:07:29.960 that a toy commercial was high art.

01:07:33.500 Here's the fact of the matter.

01:07:35.520 No film that exists primarily to

01:07:38.480 promote a brand can ever be good.

01:07:42.580 That's why all the Marvel movies suck,

01:07:44.460 because they all exist just to promote

01:07:46.380 the Marvel brand.

01:07:47.460 That's it.

01:07:47.880 That's why they're there.

01:07:48.540 It can't even be a real film.

01:07:52.800 It can only be, at best, a very well-made

01:07:55.500 and technically impressive commercial.

01:07:59.200 So, you Barbie fans should be quiet.

01:08:04.040 Calm down.

01:08:04.760 Calm yourself.

01:08:05.980 And be grateful for the absurdly

01:08:08.320 overblown accolades that the Barbie movie

01:08:10.940 has already received.

01:08:12.760 It didn't deserve any of them.

01:08:14.560 The movie is garbage.

01:08:16.160 And that is why both the film

01:08:17.760 and its fans are today canceled.

01:08:22.840 That'll do it for the show today.

01:08:23.880 Thanks for watching.

01:08:24.380 Thanks for listening.

01:08:25.280 Have a great day.

01:08:56.120 Godspeed.
