The Matt Walsh Show - Ep. 1321 - Distraught Leftists Pee On Their Own Faces In Protest Against Supreme Court Ruling

00:00:00.000 Today on the Matt Wall Show, the left has a glorious meltdown as the Supreme Court

00:00:03.220 unanimously declares that Colorado cannot kick Trump off the ballot. Keith Olbermann was so

00:00:07.460 upset about the ruling that he even peed on his own face. We'll investigate. Also,

00:00:11.460 the leftist hordes turn on AOC. The executive director of LGBT affairs in Philadelphia

00:00:15.260 gets arrested during a traffic stop. A viral video shows a young mother being confronted

00:00:19.720 for bringing her child to a bar. Who's in the wrong on that one? And San Francisco will not

00:00:24.260 be giving $5 million reparations checks to its black residents, but it did issue a heartfelt

00:00:29.080 apology for slavery. Will that be enough to satisfy the race hustlers? The answer will 0.99

00:00:33.360 not remotely surprise you. We'll talk about all that and more today on the Matt Wall Show.

00:02:01.200 From the moment the Colorado Supreme Court disqualified Donald Trump from the ballot a few

00:02:05.360 months ago, it was obvious that their decision would be overturned. As I discussed on this show

00:02:09.560 at the time, there were so many flaws with the opinion, it was difficult to know exactly where to

00:02:13.720 begin. The decision ignored Donald Trump's calls for peaceful demonstration on January 6th. It accused

00:02:19.480 him of speaking in violent coded language because he was mean to some random protesters at his rallies.

00:02:26.040 And then it concluded that a single Colorado bureaucrat had the power to effectively delete

00:02:30.260 his entire candidacy. Now, it's not worth rehashing all the details. This was a decision that

00:02:35.100 any reasonably informed person knew was going to be overturned. Now, unfortunately, what's become

00:02:41.120 very clear in the past 24 hours is that a very large number of people in this country are not

00:02:45.660 reasonably informed. Instead, they're told to pay attention when Rachel Maddow beams into MSNBC to

00:02:51.480 tell viewers that Donald Trump might soon be barred from the ballot in multiple states. They're

00:02:56.240 bombarded with junk analysis, like CNN's assessment that the legal case for kicking Trump off the ballot

00:03:01.520 was strong, they claimed. And they're fed think pieces from buffoons like Harvard law professor 0.98

00:03:06.940 Lawrence Tribe, who calls the Colorado Supreme Court's decision unassailable. Unassailable. 0.91

00:03:12.340 And just think about that for a second, that last part, because you can get a more accurate

00:03:17.480 assessment of constitutional law issues from a conservative podcast than you can from an

00:03:23.000 allegedly esteemed Harvard law professor who supposedly specializes in constitutional law.

00:03:30.040 With as far as Harvard has fallen in the past decade or so, that may not be very surprising,

00:03:35.220 but it's worth pointing out because of the implications for the rest of the country. Millions of people

00:03:39.840 listen to con artists with very fancy titles who lie to them as a matter of course. And even when

00:03:45.820 these con artists are exposed as they were yesterday, they make it very clear that they're

00:03:49.700 not backing down. And we saw that again and again in the aftermath of the Supreme Court's unanimous

00:03:54.160 decision yesterday, striking down the decision by the Colorado Supreme Court. I'll begin with Keith

00:04:00.560 Olbermann, who was so worked up in the aftermath of the Supreme Court's decision that he apparently

00:04:06.820 admitted to having urine all over his face, which is not an exaggeration. Although I and everyone

00:04:12.880 else who happened to be using Twitter yesterday very much wishes it were. I mean, this really

00:04:17.020 happened. So here's how Keith's day began. He tweeted, quote, the Supreme Court has betrayed democracy.

00:04:23.180 Its members, including Jackson, Kagan, and Sotomayor, have proved themselves inept at reading 0.56

00:04:28.160 comprehension. And collectively, the court has shown itself to be corrupt and illegitimate. 0.95

00:04:32.780 It must be dissolved. So we're not packing the court anymore. We're just going to get rid of the

00:04:38.900 whole thing, according to Keith Olbermann. How does that work? Like, what are the implications of

00:04:43.620 that? What are the repercussions? How does that, I mean, this is part of, this is like a pillar of

00:04:47.940 our whole system of government. But we're just going to get rid of it. Now, in response, someone

00:04:52.600 helpfully pointed out that the Supreme Court's decision was unanimous. Here was the reply, quote,

00:04:57.800 cry more, nine to zero. And Olbermann reading this announced, quote, those aren't tears, fascist, 0.61

00:05:06.280 they're urine. I'm sure you enjoy being bathed in it. Now, at best, this is, I mean, honestly, 0.99

00:05:15.940 it's the worst comeback that I've ever heard in my life. I don't think I've ever heard of a worse

00:05:20.180 comeback than that. And at worst, it's an admission of exactly the kind of deviant behavior you'd expect

00:05:26.800 Keith Olbermann would engage in all the time. Now, you know, we can't be sure, to be fair,

00:05:31.840 so Olbermann seems to have admitted that he has pee on his face. But we don't know the source of

00:05:36.880 the pee, so let's just be clear about that. Did he pee on his own face? Is this someone else's pee

00:05:41.620 on his face? There are many details that are left obscured here, probably for the best. But we do know 0.91

00:05:47.440 one way or another that Keith Olbermann has pee all over his face. And as distressing as that thought

00:05:53.300 may be, the truth is that Keith Olbermann is not alone on the left. In response to yesterday's

00:05:58.060 decision, Colorado Secretary of State Jenna Griswold, the woman who unilaterally tried to 0.99

00:06:04.060 have Trump thrown off the ballot, also began attacking the Supreme Court. Of course, watch.

00:06:09.960 Do you think this court is partisan?

00:06:11.120 I think this court has had obviously some pretty big issues, whether it has been, you know, Clarence

00:06:22.820 Thomas's wife's role, gifts that have gone unreported. And there are some pretty big decisions

00:06:30.640 that have come out of the court that I highly disagree with and I think strip Americans of

00:06:35.380 our basic human rights and fundamental freedoms. Sorry, I was just distracted because I was just

00:06:41.740 thinking that now that we know that the leftist tears are urine, it does, you know, make me a little 0.87

00:06:47.660 bit less excited about the leftist tears tumbler. I think we'll just put that to the side. Anyway,

00:06:52.080 I wasn't paying attention to what you just said there, but just to restate how absurd all this is,

00:06:56.380 the Supreme Court's decision was unanimous. It was a nine to zero vote overturning what the Secretary

00:07:02.520 of State did. And instead of grappling with the implications of that, both the interviewer and

00:07:07.400 the woman with the crazy eyes, Griswold, pretend as though this was a partisan decision. That's how 0.94

00:07:13.060 the question was framed. It's how Griswold responds. She goes off into some bizarre discussion about

00:07:16.700 Clarence Thomas. From there, these are the exact same talking points they used back when Dobbs,

00:07:20.820 the Dobbs decision came out. And there's a reason they're doing this that I'll get to in a moment,

00:07:25.280 but for now, it's important to highlight some of the more unhinged responses to the Supreme Court's

00:07:29.740 ruling, because you have to understand how truly profoundly that Donald Trump has broken these

00:07:35.880 people. So elsewhere at MSNBC, for example, a Slate columnist disclosed that he went rooting

00:07:40.780 around the metadata of the Supreme Court's decision. In case you're not familiar with this process,

00:07:44.640 because you're a normal person, here's what this columnist wrote on Twitter. Quote,

00:07:48.700 if you double click where it says JJ at the top, then copy and paste it, that line reads Sotomayor

00:07:53.760 J, concurring in part and dissenting in part. And if you do a control F search for Sotomayor J,

00:08:00.240 concurring in part and dissenting in part, it highlights that same line. In other words,

00:08:04.020 if you highlight some arbitrary portion of the opinion, you'll find some evidence in the metadata

00:08:07.260 that previously, before this opinion was published, Sonia Sotomayor may have written a dissenting opinion

00:08:12.540 instead of joining the nine to zero final majority opinion. And this is a discovery that could mean a

00:08:19.100 clerk made a minor mistake somewhere and then corrected it before publishing, which would not

00:08:23.260 be a remotely interesting development. It could also mean that Sotomayor changed her mind at some

00:08:29.620 point in the deliberations, which also would not really be an interesting development. But in any

00:08:34.320 event, Slate and MSNBC found this to be a highly interesting development. So I want you to watch as

00:08:40.280 the Slate columnist breathlessly informs viewers of his findings that he found deep in the metadata

00:08:46.440 of the court's opinion. Watch. Why did it read like a dissent? Because it seems it originally was

00:08:54.540 a dissent. After this opinion came down, I checked the metadata and that separate opinion that was

00:09:00.180 presented as a concurrence by Justices Sotomayor, Kagan and Jackson, that was originally styled as a

00:09:07.000 partial dissent by Justice Sotomayor alone. At some point very late in the process, the court switched the

00:09:14.280 words on the page to say that it was a concurrence in the judgment, no longer a partial dissent, and added

00:09:20.280 Justices Kagan and Jackson. But that is not how it read in the metadata and probably not how it read

00:09:25.580 until the last minute. Now, if you listen carefully to what the Slate guy is saying, you'll notice that

00:09:30.660 he has no proof whatsoever for any of it. He doesn't actually know that this change in the opinion was

00:09:35.300 made late in the process. He doesn't really know why the metadata says that Sotomayor was dissenting.

00:09:39.760 It's just speculation. And the point of it is to avoid informing the viewers that actually all of

00:09:44.700 the experts you've heard on MSNBC for the past three months have been lying to you. Not even Sonia

00:09:50.080 Sotomayor or Kentonji Brown-Jackson or Amy Coney Barrett agree with them. And that's the last thing

00:09:56.300 they want you to think about. New York Times also went into histrionics for the same reason. They

00:10:00.880 published an op-ed claiming the Supreme Court had just erased part of the Constitution. They find it easier to

00:10:07.520 make embarrassing emotional claims than to address in any way all of the BS they've been peddling about

00:10:14.700 this case. For people who pretend to care so much about misinformation, it's pretty striking.

00:10:21.140 The fact none of these media organizations is reflecting on this failure tells us a lot about

00:10:26.100 what they're planning. Just like we saw during Russiagate, they're not going to acknowledge their

00:10:30.140 mistakes. They're not going to give up on their goal of removing the leading presidential candidate from

00:10:34.540 the ballot, all in the name of defending democracy, supposedly. Instead, their plan is to simply

00:10:39.880 adapt and find new ways to undermine the will of tens of millions of American voters.

00:10:45.540 And it's important to emphasize here that four justices, Sotomayor Kagan, Kentonji Brown-Jackson,

00:10:50.820 and the supposedly conservative Amy Coney Barrett, tried their hardest to preserve this possibility in 0.99

00:10:56.420 yesterday's ruling. They all suggested that while states can't bar Trump from the ballot,

00:11:01.620 there might be a way for the federal government to do it without an act of Congress. Now, what does

00:11:06.160 that mean exactly? That's not clear. Amy Coney Barrett won't tell us. Maybe soon enough, we'll find

00:11:11.900 out. Until then, Congressman Jamie Raskin of Maryland has made it very clear that Democrats will press

00:11:18.640 forward with an effort to disqualify Trump using an act of Congress. In response to the Supreme Court's

00:11:23.820 ruling, which held that only Congress rather than states can disqualify federal officeholders

00:11:28.000 for insurrection, Raskin went on television to announce that Democrats in Congress

00:11:32.420 will indeed do everything they can to disqualify Donald Trump from the ballot. Watch.

00:11:38.280 I am working with a number of my colleagues, including Debbie Wasserman Schultz and Eric Swalwell,

00:11:44.360 to revive legislation that we had to set up a process by which we could determine that someone

00:11:50.980 who committed insurrection is disqualified by Section 3 of the 14th Amendment.

00:11:55.440 And the House of Representatives already impeached Donald Trump for participating in

00:12:00.040 insurrection by inciting it. So the House has already pronounced upon that.

00:12:06.240 And by the way, this is obviously, this is, you know, an obvious conclusion, but you can tell

00:12:11.120 just how uncertain they are in Joe Biden and his ability to get elected. Because the thing is,

00:12:17.120 if they actually thought that Joe Biden could win the election on his own, they wouldn't be doing any of

00:12:20.620 this. There'd be no reason to do any of it. In fact, they would much prefer, now they know that

00:12:26.380 it would be better for them in every way if Donald Trump just, if Joe Biden just beat Donald Trump.

00:12:33.080 They didn't disqualify him, they just got beat. But they are not confident at all in Biden's ability

00:12:39.320 to do that, which is why they're going to these increasingly extreme lengths. And this is the same

00:12:43.540 threat that Democrats made after the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade. The thought of giving up

00:12:48.000 never crosses their minds. The thought of allowing voters in each of the 50 states to make their own

00:12:52.120 decisions, whether it's about abortion or presidential candidates, never crosses their

00:12:56.080 minds. If you page through the Washington Post comment section, you'll see that very clearly.

00:13:00.200 Millions of left-wing voters want Jamie Raskin to pass his bill and forcibly remove Donald Trump

00:13:05.980 from the ballot. And they have some very high-level support. As the podcaster Comfortably Smug pointed out

00:13:11.480 the other day, left-wing dark money groups like Fix the Court are focused on packing the court,

00:13:16.040 and their former director now works for the Biden campaign. So you see how high up this goes. And

00:13:21.100 what this means is that as deranged as Keith Olbermann is, he's actually not an outlier on the left.

00:13:28.780 He's popular among them because he's willing to say what they're thinking. He's the face of all their

00:13:34.300 worst impulses and ideas. And they are so committed to winning, so committed to preventing you from voting,

00:13:41.560 they truly don't care whether that face is drenched in urine or not. Now let's get to our five

00:13:49.700 headlines.

00:13:55.960 Did you know that mRNA vaccines are approved for use in pigs in the U.S.? Not to mention 85% of the

00:14:01.020 beef sold in your local grocery store is imported. In fact, over 5 billion pounds of meat was imported

00:14:06.020 just last year. The mystery continues to grow in the meat industry. And every day, I'm more thankful for

00:14:10.940 my Good Rancher subscription. I don't have to worry about imported meat or unknown vaccines and the

00:15:02.560 Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez being chased out of a movie theater by a group of left-wing 0.95

00:15:06.680 activists who apparently are upset that she won't say that Israel is perpetrating a genocide.

00:15:13.440 And I feel like I've heard AOC say that or, you know, words to that effect already, but protesters

00:15:19.900 haven't heard it or they haven't heard it often enough. And they're not happy about that. So let's watch.

00:15:27.060 You refuse to call it a genocide.

00:15:30.120 Oh, I need you to understand.

00:15:32.440 It's not okay.

00:15:33.680 It's not okay that there's a genocide happening. You're not actively against it.

00:15:37.460 You're lying.

00:15:38.060 I'm lying?

00:15:39.400 You're not.

00:15:39.960 You went on TV and avoided talking about it.

00:15:42.280 You can't say it's a genocide or what you're attacking the political race.

00:15:48.540 You can't say it's a genocide. Just say it. Over 35,000 people are dead AOC. You can't just say it for once. Just say a word. That's it. That's all we want you to say it.

00:16:06.300 Over 35,000 people are dead AOC. You can't just say it for once. Just say the words. That's it. That's all we want you to say it.

00:16:25.700 Stop. Okay? Stop. Stop. 0.98

00:16:29.840 We're not doing anything. We're just processing and left of governmentization. That's all we're doing. That's it.

00:16:34.820 And you're going to cut this and you're going to clip this so that it's completely out of context.

00:16:39.640 I already said that it was.

00:16:41.580 And y'all are just going to pretend that it wasn't over and over again. 0.97

00:16:44.540 It's f***ed up, man. 0.78

00:16:45.780 You're not helping these people. 0.85

00:16:47.640 And you're not helping them.

00:16:48.660 You refused to.

00:16:49.540 You're not helping them. 0.89

00:16:51.760 It's f***ed up, man. 0.94

00:16:52.920 It's f***ed up.

00:16:53.660 Spoken with all the eloquence and class we've come to expect from AOC and from our politicians in general.

00:16:58.460 And what makes this so great, of course, is that AOC has been a huge proponent of protesters harassing her political opponents.

00:17:06.940 She was fully on board, obviously, when they were outside of the homes of Supreme Court justices.

00:17:12.120 So if it's f***ed up, man, to accost somebody at a movie theater, you would think it'd be all the more f***ed up to do it at their home, where their families are and where their children are.

00:17:23.540 But AOC was fine with that.

00:17:24.980 In fact, she said in the past that protests should make powerful people uncomfortable.

00:17:28.940 She said that's what it's all about, is making people uncomfortable.

00:17:32.360 Well, she's powerful. 1.00

00:17:34.000 She's one of the most prominent members of Congress.

00:17:36.780 And she's obviously uncomfortable here.

00:17:39.060 So, you know, they've done exactly what she wants.

00:17:43.520 Except she didn't mean her, obviously.

00:17:45.040 She meant to say, make powerful people uncomfortable except for me.

00:17:48.440 Not me, the other ones.

00:17:49.940 Make all the rest of them uncomfortable.

00:17:51.760 And this is how it goes.

00:17:52.520 You know, eventually the radicals, the left-wing radicals are not radical enough.

00:18:00.480 I mean, AOC is, you would think, as far to the left on every issue that you can possibly get.

00:18:07.240 She finds the most left-wing extreme on every position. 0.97

00:18:13.340 And that's the ground that she stakes out. 0.98

00:18:16.880 So, I can't think of an issue where she has publicly taken a position that leaves room to her left. 0.92

00:18:25.900 I can't think of one.

00:18:26.840 And not only that, but for the most part, this is probably sincere on her part.

00:18:35.000 I mean, in the sense that she's not pretending to be radically left-wing.

00:18:39.240 I mean, there's a lot of pretending and a lot of performance that she does in general. 0.81

00:18:42.600 But these are actually her views.

00:18:44.920 Which is what you would expect from a, you know, 34-year-old woman from Brooklyn or wherever she's from. 1.00

00:18:50.140 So, she's fully on the same side as, and the same page as, the people who are going after her now.

00:18:59.420 And yet they go after her anyway.

00:19:01.580 Because the truth is, you can never really be left-wing enough.

00:19:05.380 It's impossible.

00:19:07.160 And, um, that's what's happening here.

00:19:10.220 And there's something else, too, that I think is happening.

00:19:12.060 That, you know, they're chasing her down.

00:19:14.480 And they're demanding that she say the word genocide.

00:19:17.680 I mean, you heard that person say,

00:19:19.440 Just say the word, AOC.

00:19:20.600 Just say genocide. 0.94

00:19:22.620 And it's a silly thing, obviously.

00:19:24.420 Like, why do you need to hear her say that word? 0.73

00:19:26.560 What would that...

00:19:27.620 Okay, genocide.

00:19:29.020 Like, anyone can...

00:19:30.240 What does that accomplish?

00:19:31.900 So, you pressure someone.

00:19:34.340 And you hector them and harass them until they say a word that you want them to say.

00:19:39.900 And then, okay, they've said it.

00:19:42.380 What does that...

00:19:43.720 What does that mean?

00:19:45.660 How does that help you?

00:19:47.140 Even if she says it.

00:19:48.560 If she says it on command, because you told her to bark like a dog, and she did.

00:19:53.500 What does that accomplish?

00:19:54.960 How does that help your cause?

00:19:57.040 Whatever exactly your cause is.

00:20:00.300 But this is a unique feature of leftism.

00:20:02.340 There are always words, there are always slogans, mantras that they demand you repeat.

00:20:10.440 And the mantras change over time.

00:20:13.040 That's part of the game.

00:20:14.120 That's how they know that you're in the club.

00:20:16.020 Is that the passwords and the mantras change.

00:20:18.880 And it's just like, you know, with your email, you know, for security, you're supposed to change your password every so...

00:20:25.340 Every few weeks or every few months.

00:20:26.600 Because, and it's the same on the left, they just, they, every so often, there's another mantra, another slogan that they need, that you need to say.

00:20:36.320 And you just need to say it to say it.

00:20:39.080 You have to stay up to date on the new passwords and say them constantly.

00:20:43.080 And if they notice that you're not saying them, then they become suspicious.

00:20:47.860 They become suspicious that you have defected, that you're insufficiently loyal.

00:20:52.480 So that's what's happening here.

00:20:54.240 And genocide is just, it's one of the new mantras.

00:20:58.660 They need her to say it.

00:21:03.180 Why does she need to say it?

00:21:04.480 Well, because she's supposed to be in the club. 1.00

00:21:05.900 And it's one of the passwords now to reaffirm your membership in the club.

00:21:13.060 And she didn't say it.

00:21:15.460 And, you know, of course, even if she did, like the fact that this is happening to her clearly shows that she has been perceived now to be, to be part of the problem.

00:21:26.660 Which is also, you know, anyone who's on the left and gets to a position of power, eventually, just because they're there, will become, in the minds of these people, an enemy, you know, an enemy, you know, part of the problem.

00:21:45.140 And that's what she's dealing with.

00:21:48.200 And it's a lot of fun to watch.

00:21:50.800 Let's be honest.

00:21:52.140 Okay, NBC Philadelphia has this.

00:21:53.820 A video circulating on social media on Saturday shows a Pennsylvania state trooper working to arrest a person who's on the ground on the shoulder of a highway.

00:22:00.000 That person, NBC 10 has learned, was Darius McLean, the husband of Selena Morrison, the city's executive director of the Office of LGBT Affairs.

00:22:09.300 Both Morrison and McLean were arrested in the incident.

00:22:11.460 And, according to the incident, the police, the incident was caught on camera and happened a little after 9 a.m. on Saturday morning.

00:22:18.040 There's controversy over now.

00:22:19.240 In fact, I think we have the news report with the video of this arrest and some of the reaction from the community, especially the LGBT community, who are very, very troubled by this.

00:22:29.260 Let's watch the report.

00:22:30.700 Yeah, I can tell you the tense traffic stop and the arrest is now under investigation.

00:22:35.820 And the officer involved in that arrest, he's been placed on administrative duty while that investigation continues.

00:22:42.900 Meanwhile, leaders of LGBTQ groups here in Philadelphia, they're asking for transparency during that investigation.

00:22:50.140 This viral video showing a tense traffic stop along the Vine Street Expressway Saturday morning has LGBTQ community leaders alarmed and looking for answers.

00:23:06.960 We're marshalling all our resources to be supportive of Selena and Darius, but also to make sure that through investigation, we make sure that accountability resolves from this situation.

00:23:18.440 In the video, we see a state trooper standing over Morrison's husband, who's handcuffed on the ground.

00:23:23.180 We also hear the voice of Selena Morrison, Philadelphia's director of LGBT Affairs.

00:23:27.960 She pleads with the officer to stop and identifies herself as working for the mayor.

00:23:31.860 Shocked to see that when someone's pleading and naming themselves and announcing themselves and announcing the scenario, that it would have continued to escalate at that moment.

00:23:44.120 While we don't see what led up to the altercation, according to state police, a trooper pulled a driver believed to be Morrison over just after 9 a.m.

00:23:51.580 After observing her infinity had expired and suspended registration, headlights that weren't illuminated and was following too closely.

00:23:58.620 But before the trooper had a chance to approach her, a man in a green Dodge parked behind the patrol car.

00:24:04.400 State police say the trooper went to him and he didn't cooperate with multiple orders, so the trooper tried to arrest him, and Morrison interfered.

00:24:11.800 The pair was arrested for resisting arrest and obstruction of justice, but the DA's office says they're reviewing the situation and they're not facing any charges at this time.

00:24:20.360 As the investigation continues, many are asking for changes.

00:24:23.200 Many are asking for changes, of course.

00:24:25.660 So there's a lot going on here.

00:24:29.360 We have the executive director of the Office of LGBT Affairs getting arrested in a traffic stop.

00:24:33.460 We don't know what led up to it exactly, as we heard.

00:24:35.860 Police say that they were being uncooperative and obstructionist and belligerent.

00:24:39.900 And having not seen that part of the interaction, and maybe eventually we will see it.

00:24:47.240 I'm sure we probably will.

00:24:48.220 They'll release the body cam footage.

00:24:49.640 But having not seen that at this point, I'm going to go ahead and say that I believe the cops' version of events 100%.

00:24:58.360 And I believe them because, for the simple fact, that in nearly every single video of this type that we have seen for the past 15 years or longer,

00:25:09.680 it has almost always turned out that the supposed victim was going out of his way or her way or both of their ways in this case

00:25:18.120 to be as difficult and aggressive and uncooperative as possible.

00:25:22.440 We've seen this movie a thousand times, and it always goes the same way.

00:25:27.180 It's just it almost always goes the same way.

00:25:30.360 There are exceptions to every rule, but almost always.

00:25:33.140 First, we see the video of the person on the ground, and they're getting arrested, and we're told,

00:25:36.840 they didn't do anything.

00:25:38.300 This doesn't make any sense.

00:25:40.460 They just got pulled over.

00:25:41.380 Next thing you know, they're getting ripped out of the car and thrown on the ground, and they didn't do anything.

00:25:45.080 And then you see the whole video, and you're like, okay, you're just being, you're like, at best,

00:25:49.540 you're being as obnoxious as you could possibly be. 0.98

00:25:53.140 Just shut up for a second. 0.99

00:25:56.280 And none of this would have happened. 0.95

00:25:58.860 You know, I can tell you I have been pulled over because a taillight.

00:26:02.980 I think for them it was a taillight or brake light or something.

00:26:05.420 I've been pulled over for that.

00:26:07.340 Not recently, but, you know, I've been pulled over.

00:26:09.940 I've had to expire registration, you know, years ago because I was too lazy to go to DMV.

00:26:14.280 Got pulled over.

00:26:15.640 I did not end up face down on the pavement with handcuffs on.

00:26:20.740 And why is that?

00:26:21.700 Is it because I'm white?

00:26:22.540 I guess I'll be told it's because I'm white.

00:26:23.800 You know, it's like they pulled me over, and the cop got on the radio and said, hey,

00:26:26.820 it's okay, he's white. 0.94

00:26:27.680 Never mind, never mind, white guy. 0.96

00:26:29.120 We got a white guy here. 0.97

00:26:30.340 Yeah, we don't give traffic tickets to white guys. 0.77

00:26:32.700 We don't, never happens.

00:26:33.640 Never, ever happens.

00:26:34.380 We never do it.

00:26:36.380 Yeah, maybe, maybe that's what happened.

00:26:37.560 I didn't hear that part of the conversation.

00:26:38.580 If that did happen, I didn't hear the conversation.

00:26:41.720 But I think more likely it's because they pulled me over, and they said, you know,

00:26:47.460 you know why I'm stopping you?

00:26:49.000 And I said, no.

00:26:50.440 And they said, you got a brake light, it's out.

00:26:52.600 And I said, oh, okay.

00:26:54.880 And then they took license registration and went back to the police cruiser that came

00:26:58.740 back, gave me a citation, and I said, okay.

00:27:03.020 And that was it.

00:27:03.920 And then I just went about my day.

00:27:05.500 And that was all, like, that's all you have to do.

00:27:07.100 Like, literally just say, oh, okay.

00:27:08.800 Yeah, all right. 0.99

00:27:09.660 Man, that sucks. 0.96

00:27:11.060 And then move on, and nothing happens. 0.98

00:27:12.520 And if you do that way, if you respond that way, pretty much 100% of the time, it will

00:27:19.080 be fine.

00:27:19.780 And you'll have to pay the ticket, but nothing else will happen.

00:27:24.540 There have been times when I've been pulled over for reasons that I thought were a little

00:27:28.280 bit unfair.

00:27:28.780 I remember I was pulled over years ago, and I think I was going, like, 62 in a 50.

00:27:34.800 And yeah, I was speeding.

00:27:36.000 I was speeding, but it's 12 miles over the limit.

00:27:38.340 And it's like a straightaway, you know, it's like a straight, basically a straight road.

00:27:41.660 It's a little bit later.

00:27:42.520 There's no cars on the road.

00:27:44.180 And, you know, come on.

00:27:46.540 I mean, that was my argument to the guy.

00:27:47.940 That would have been my argument to the cop, is like, come on.

00:27:50.600 I know, technically speeding, but come on.

00:27:53.200 Except I didn't make that argument to the cop, because when he handed me the ticket,

00:27:56.960 the decision was already made.

00:27:58.460 And I knew that if he handed me the ticket, and I looked at it and said, come on, really?

00:28:03.660 What are we doing here?

00:28:05.000 I could have said that, but it's very unlikely that he would have said, oh, oh, you're right.

00:28:09.240 Never mind.

00:28:10.000 Well, I hadn't thought of it that way, sir.

00:28:13.320 Let me take that ticket back for you.

00:28:14.520 That wasn't going to happen.

00:28:15.180 So I just took the ticket, went to court, and pleaded my case there.

00:28:19.600 And my case in court was basically that.

00:28:21.900 That was basically my whole case.

00:28:23.420 Like, yeah, it's 12 miles over the limit, but, you know, what's the big deal?

00:28:27.400 And in that case, it was successful.

00:28:29.240 And actually, the cop got a little bit of a talking to from the judge, because the judge

00:28:33.260 was like in a bad mood, and just didn't want to be bothered.

00:28:35.580 He's like, it wasn't important enough for him to be bothered.

00:28:37.600 And that was great.

00:28:38.620 It didn't always work out that way.

00:28:39.820 Usually, it hasn't for me, historically, in traffic court.

00:28:42.500 But in that case, it did.

00:28:43.700 The point is that at no point in all of that did I say to myself, you know what the best

00:28:52.240 way to get what I want here?

00:28:53.480 The best way to get what I want is to be as annoying, obnoxious, and belligerent as I can 0.85

00:28:57.920 possibly be.

00:28:58.660 At no point did I say that to myself.

00:29:00.720 And at any point in all of that, whether talking to the cop or the judge, if I had decided to

00:29:06.780 go that route, there's a 100% chance that it would have made the situation worse for

00:29:11.800 me.

00:29:13.080 So there's a 0% chance, when you're dealing with a cop or a judge, a 0% chance that by

00:29:20.720 being obnoxious, you will make things better for yourself.

00:29:23.740 Now, you may get lucky, and it won't make things much worse, because maybe you're dealing

00:29:28.140 with a cop who doesn't want to become the next Derek Chauvin. 0.83

00:29:30.720 And so he's a little bit shy and decides to just put up with you being an a-hole. 0.83

00:29:36.120 For that reason alone, you may end up with a cop like that.

00:29:38.800 I wouldn't count on it.

00:29:40.000 You might.

00:29:41.320 But even in that case, it's not going to make the situation better.

00:29:45.340 It's just the best you could hope for is that it doesn't make it much worse.

00:29:49.340 But more than likely, it will make it worse and considerably worse.

00:29:54.640 And so it's, and that's always the case.

00:29:58.340 And that's why I have no sympathy for people who act like a-holes to the cops and then pay 0.97

00:30:07.000 the consequences.

00:30:08.640 I just don't have any sympathy.

00:30:10.560 I don't, you know, there's only so much sympathy a human being can have.

00:30:14.780 There's a lot of tragedies that happen in the world every day.

00:30:16.900 A lot of terrible things.

00:30:17.940 A lot of people that are in need.

00:30:19.040 A lot of people that are suffering and, and, and, you know, we're not, we're human beings.

00:30:25.480 Okay.

00:30:25.760 I'm not God.

00:30:27.060 I don't have an eternal capacity for sympathy and compassion.

00:30:31.320 I just don't.

00:30:32.260 And nobody does.

00:30:33.600 And so there are really like whole categories of people that I have to just kind of like

00:30:37.600 wall off.

00:30:38.880 It's like, those people don't get any of my sympathy.

00:30:40.680 I don't have enough to go around.

00:30:41.580 And if you're someone who, uh, who acts like an a-hole when the cops are dealing with you

00:30:47.240 and then things go wrong, I just don't have sympathy.

00:30:51.100 Like pretty much no matter what happens from there.

00:30:53.080 I don't, it, there, there, there are too many other people out here deserving of sympathy.

00:30:57.640 You're not one of them.

00:30:58.640 It's like, it's like, um, you know, it's like if you see a video of someone doing parkour

00:31:05.440 on the top of a 50 story building and they trip and fall and end up with pancakes on

00:31:10.780 the sidewalk, it's sad.

00:31:12.900 I'm not happy that it happened.

00:31:14.580 I don't watch those videos and want the person to fall.

00:31:17.120 I don't want them to, but if they do, I don't spend a lot of time grieving it.

00:31:22.880 I don't spend a lot of time mourning it.

00:31:24.240 In fact, I don't spend any time at all mourning it because it's like you went out of your way 1.00

00:31:29.400 to do the stupidest thing you could possibly do. 1.00

00:31:32.580 And then one of the most obvious consequences of that stupid behavior happened to occur. 1.00

00:31:39.500 And so that's it. 0.99

00:31:41.880 That's, that's all I really need to know.

00:31:45.260 And that applies in general to these kinds of situations.

00:31:49.580 But this is even worse because apparently the executive of LGBT affairs tried to use that

00:31:56.120 to get out of the ticket.

00:31:57.480 And we heard from the one guy who said that it was unconscionable, you know,

00:32:02.480 that it went this way because she announced herself.

00:32:05.340 She announced herself and announced, and then that was supposed to be it, I guess.

00:32:10.140 I don't know if she pulled out her badge and said, officer, it's okay.

00:32:14.400 I'm the executive of LGBT affairs.

00:32:16.880 Everything's fine.

00:32:17.620 I just saw the bat signal. 0.82

00:32:19.040 I just saw the LGBT signal. 0.97

00:32:20.680 I saw, I saw the giant drag queen in the sky. 1.00

00:32:22.600 I had to respond.

00:32:24.240 Someone's being misgendered, you know, across town.

00:32:26.900 I got to get there in time.

00:32:28.440 I don't know if that's what happened.

00:32:29.760 I don't know if that's what she did.

00:32:30.880 But however it unfolded, the fact that she's the executive director of the office of LGBT

00:32:37.280 affairs apparently didn't help her in this case, nor should it.

00:32:40.500 Especially because the office of LGBT affairs obviously should not exist.

00:32:43.960 What does the executive director of the office of LGBT affairs do on a daily basis?

00:32:52.200 What does her nine to five look like? 0.95

00:32:54.840 And I know that I'm being very optimistic and thinking that there even is a nine to five

00:32:58.920 for somebody like this.

00:33:01.420 And I also know that we're used to this sort of thing.

00:33:04.060 We're used to, you know, bureaucrats having positions like this that are totally meaningless.

00:33:09.280 But still, you got to stop and think about, I mean, think about this.

00:33:15.020 Think about the fact that the city of Philadelphia has an office dedicated to people who enjoy 0.56

00:33:24.960 certain types of sex. 1.00

00:33:26.960 There's an entire office dedicated to the affairs of people who like having homosexual sex or have 1.00

00:33:33.400 other sexual proclivities that are underneath the umbrella. 0.95

00:33:36.680 And this is a, this is a nine to five job for, for a government bureaucrat that, and they

00:33:44.540 spend, again, I don't know what they do on a daily basis, but they spend every day with

00:33:49.620 that.

00:33:51.600 And she's not even LGBT herself, apparently.

00:33:54.040 She has a husband.

00:33:54.860 So I don't know.

00:33:57.940 I mean, how does that work with representation?

00:33:59.520 Isn't that a, isn't that a, shouldn't that be the real scandal here?

00:34:04.220 That's what people should be upset about.

00:34:06.680 This is a, this is a cisgendered woman with a husband, a woman with a husband, and she's

00:34:13.800 the executive director of LGBT affairs.

00:34:16.420 You at least need a trans person in that role.

00:34:20.220 I would think at least, at least just trans, but really to be the executive director, you'd

00:34:27.540 think trans, you know, bisexual, Demi, whatever, you know, a few you would need to, you need

00:34:33.620 to cross a few off the list.

00:34:35.220 She has none.

00:34:37.220 And she's the executive.

00:34:38.040 So that's the real scandal.

00:34:39.600 She should be arrested for that, actually.

00:34:41.700 She should have been arrested for that alone.

00:34:44.340 When she said that she was the executive director of the office of LGBT affairs, the cop should 1.00

00:34:47.560 have said, oh yeah, what are you? 0.52

00:34:49.540 What are you, are you a lesbian? 1.00

00:34:50.800 No, I have a husband. 0.98

00:34:51.600 Okay, well, you're under arrest.

00:34:53.960 This is, this is misrepresentation.

00:34:55.580 This is, you're taking jobs away from LGBT people.

00:34:59.860 How dare you?

00:35:01.200 All right, now that we have that settled, here's another controversy, the likes of which we

00:35:06.740 have encountered in the past.

00:35:08.640 And I don't know if it's the most important thing happening in the world today, but it's

00:35:12.740 important to me.

00:35:13.940 So this is the latest iteration of this controversy.

00:35:16.320 I want to show you, this is a viral video that has sparked quite a heated debate.

00:35:21.240 Uh, it's a video of a young mother at a bar being confronted for bringing her baby into

00:35:28.820 the bar.

00:35:30.060 And, um, so there's a lot here that has people talking, but let's watch this video.

00:35:36.400 I think you're 22, get out. 0.86

00:35:41.020 I'm 27.

00:35:42.360 Get your baby out of a bar. 1.00

00:35:44.960 We are, we are, we are, we are waiting for a bill. 1.00

00:35:49.320 You guys are idiots. 1.00

00:35:50.600 Why would you do that? 1.00

00:35:53.060 Why would you do this for dead?

00:35:55.540 He's having fun.

00:35:56.920 No, he's not having fun. 1.00

00:35:58.660 You're an idiot. 1.00

00:36:00.640 You're an idiot. 1.00

00:36:01.720 You got it. 1.00

00:36:02.320 You got it.

00:36:02.600 You got it.

00:36:03.420 You got it.

00:36:04.020 You got it.

00:36:05.600 Did your baby get out of the bar?

00:36:08.000 I'm going to get it.

00:36:09.380 Jamie, is that your name?

00:36:10.860 No, it's not.

00:36:11.740 Did your get out of the bar?

00:36:14.120 You have a baby in a bar.

00:36:16.180 She's building you and I'm actually going to call the police. 1.00

00:36:18.720 I think I'm bothering you.

00:36:20.260 You're bothering you and you're harassing me. 0.52

00:36:22.140 They have children.

00:36:23.040 Are you parenting a bar?

00:36:24.840 I'm doing it.

00:36:25.600 I'm a bar.

00:36:26.920 You're trying.

00:36:27.960 Please.

00:36:28.840 I'm going to.

00:36:30.180 I'm going to.

00:36:30.680 Okay.

00:36:32.800 Now, my favorite thing about that video probably is all the details that she's making up about

00:36:37.500 this woman as she goes.

00:36:39.760 You're Jamie, right?

00:36:40.940 No, it's not my name.

00:36:42.000 You're 22?

00:36:42.880 No, I'm 27.

00:36:45.080 She's making up, but she's drunk.

00:36:46.660 You know, and she's, this is, this is like, she looks like she's in her 50s.

00:36:49.500 This is classic obnoxious 55-year-old woman drunk because she's angry and yelling but smiling 1.00

00:36:57.100 at the same time.

00:36:57.980 So you got, you got all that going on and, and yet many on the internet have sided with

00:37:05.700 the drunk older woman in this dispute.

00:37:08.620 And it, I saw where this video was, was, was posted and, you know, millions of views.

00:37:15.160 This is the kind of thing we talk about on the internet, but you go through the comments

00:37:18.940 and it's like at least 50, 50, if not, if not 60, 40 in favor of this woman.

00:37:25.000 And I have to say, if you're one of those people, then I, I don't know, you, you, you

00:37:30.580 have the IQ and the moral sense of like a Komodo dragon or something.

00:37:34.380 Uh, you could not be more wrong about this. 0.99

00:37:38.480 You would have to be a serial killer. 0.99

00:37:40.380 Like you are automatically a suspected serial killer. 0.85

00:37:43.200 If you watch that video and your first reaction is that you're on the side of the obnoxious

00:37:50.960 55-year-old drunk woman screaming obscenities at the young mother with a, with a child.

00:37:56.940 Uh, it's like, just as a, as from a visceral reaction standpoint, you, you, you, you, you

00:38:04.200 should not be on her side.

00:38:05.900 And first of all, whether she's right or wrong on the merits, when you talk to somebody like

00:38:11.280 that in that situation, you're automatically wrong.

00:38:15.500 Um, you don't speak to people that way.

00:38:17.760 Okay.

00:38:18.160 We need to get back to a place in society where people realize that you just don't talk to

00:38:23.440 somebody that way. 0.98

00:38:24.140 You deserve to get smacked. 0.99

00:38:26.200 If you talk to somebody that way, I'm not saying I would do it. 1.00

00:38:28.640 I don't hit women. 1.00

00:38:29.580 I'm not advocating that anybody would do it just to be clear.

00:38:32.200 I'm not saying anyone should do it.

00:38:33.560 Uh, and, and I'm not advocating violence.

00:38:36.640 I'm just saying that if the younger woman had walked over to the older woman and smacked 0.99

00:38:43.880 her across the face, just one time, Will Smith style one time and said, Hey, watch your 1.00

00:38:50.020 mouth.

00:38:50.680 Hey, watch your mouth.

00:38:51.980 Well, if she had done that, she would have been morally justified, not advocating it.

00:38:57.520 I'm glad it didn't happen, frankly, because I don't, I don't advocate violence, but if

00:39:01.600 she did, she would have been justified completely morally.

00:39:04.700 Uh, and I'm not talking about a beat down with 15 people.

00:39:07.280 I'm not talking about weapons being used.

00:39:09.420 Okay. 0.62

00:39:10.080 One slap across the face. 0.91

00:39:11.360 You used to be able to do that in this country.

00:39:13.760 Back when we were a real country, when we, when this was America, you can walk up to someone,

00:39:17.380 smack them in the face because they're, they're, they're, you know, they're getting

00:39:19.780 out of hand, they're, they're talking, they're being disrespectful. 0.99

00:39:22.140 One smack across the face and that's it.

00:39:24.440 Simple, elegant solution to the problem.

00:39:26.920 And, uh, at the very least, if she had got a beer, you know, tossed in her face, again,

00:39:30.500 would have been totally deserved.

00:39:32.060 You absolutely deserve that response.

00:39:35.680 When you treat people like that in public, you have no right to treat people that way.

00:39:39.460 And if you do, what it tells me is that, you know, you, you, you have never gotten

00:39:42.780 the kind of response you deserve.

00:39:44.180 And that's why you go around treating people that way.

00:39:46.560 Um, so she's wildly in the wrong for how she's speaking to a stranger here, but she's also 0.92

00:39:51.620 wrong on the merits because even if she wasn't a vulgar, gross woman, even if she was polite 1.00

00:39:58.400 about it, uh, she would still be wrong. 0.69

00:40:01.240 And this is where we hear from all the people who, and I got into this argument again on Twitter

00:40:06.760 yesterday, uh, and here for all the people that say, well, you think it's okay to bring

00:40:11.740 a baby to a bar, you would bring kids to a bar. 0.99

00:40:15.180 Are you serious?

00:40:16.300 Yes, I do think it's okay.

00:40:18.060 In fact, I've done it many times.

00:40:19.580 I did it recently.

00:40:21.020 Okay.

00:40:21.320 I had four of my kids at a bar like three weeks ago and you know what?

00:40:25.660 It was fine.

00:40:26.820 It was normal.

00:40:28.180 This is a thing that normal people do.

00:40:30.480 If you are a normal person who lives in the world, this is something that people do.

00:40:37.280 Um, and listen, bars come in different forms.

00:40:39.840 Obviously I'm not saying it's okay to bring your kids to any bar.

00:40:43.420 Of course not.

00:40:44.820 There are different, there are dive bars back where I used to live.

00:40:48.560 We had a diet, like an actual diet, not a, not a, you know, not a trendy bar in the city

00:40:52.080 that they call a dive bar, but the beers, you know, it's like, it still costs you $27

00:40:55.760 to buy a drink.

00:40:56.420 That's not a dive bar.

00:40:57.580 Uh, I'm talking about an actual dive bar, had one down the street, the kind of place

00:41:00.860 where, you know, you go, there's always like at least one motorcycle in the parking

00:41:03.860 lot.

00:41:04.120 The rest are pickup trucks.

00:41:05.000 You walk in and no matter what time of day you walk in, there's always at least one guy.

00:41:10.040 Who's like in his sixties and he's just sloppy drunk sitting by himself at the bar.

00:41:15.060 You go in at 2 PM and there's at least one guy who's just sitting there.

00:41:19.200 He's not bothering anybody.

00:41:19.780 He was completely drunk.

00:41:20.900 And not only that, but he's getting drunk on light beer.

00:41:23.280 So these are, this is a guy who's, you know, 4% alcohol type drinks and he's drinking gallons

00:41:28.860 of them.

00:41:29.960 Rarely gets up to use the bathroom.

00:41:31.440 He could sit there for four hours drinking 60 gallons of beer, never get up one time.

00:41:35.460 I don't know how he does it, but I'm talking about that kind of bar.

00:41:38.880 People are smoking cigarettes inside.

00:41:40.360 It's probably against state law, but they do it anyway.

00:41:43.020 Um, and, uh, and it's, and I love the place.

00:41:46.100 I thought it was a great, huge, I was a huge fan of the place.

00:41:48.280 I love that place.

00:41:49.460 And I wouldn't bring my kids there.

00:41:51.200 Obviously I wouldn't, uh, you wouldn't bring your kids to, uh, to like a college bar,

00:41:55.640 you know, where the building capacity is 175 people, but they've got 400 people crammed

00:42:01.660 in there and everyone's just, you have no room to even move your arms and it's 140 degrees

00:42:06.820 inside and it's so loud.

00:42:08.860 You feel like you're sitting in a jet engine.

00:42:12.140 Um, and would you bring your kids to that place?

00:42:14.480 Obviously not.

00:42:15.580 But most bars are not like either of those.

00:42:19.820 Most bars are Applebee's.

00:42:21.540 Okay.

00:42:21.880 That's what most, they are Applebee's or places similar.

00:42:24.540 In most parts of the country, when someone goes to the bar, that's where they're going.

00:42:29.420 They're going to Applebee's.

00:42:30.580 They're going to TGI Fridays.

00:42:32.600 They're going to Buffalo Wild Wings.

00:42:35.660 And, uh, and not only are those places perfectly acceptable for kids, but they're great places

00:42:41.860 to bring kids.

00:42:42.400 They are the best places to bring kids to eat.

00:42:45.540 I look, if I'm bringing my kids out for a meal, I'm looking for a place that says sports

00:42:49.560 bar.

00:42:49.900 I'm looking, it needs to say bar on it somewhere, or I'm not bringing my kids in because

00:42:53.800 then, you know, it's, it's a little bit louder.

00:42:56.720 Uh, it's, there are larger groups there, you know, there are TVs, there's like stuff going

00:43:01.060 on.

00:43:01.720 And, and so, you know, your kid can, can be a kid and can be like a little bit, a little

00:43:05.740 talkative, a little bit louder, and it's not going to disrupt other people.

00:43:09.140 So that's, that, that's, those are great places to bring kids.

00:43:15.240 And when I hear people that disagree with that, like, what do you, what do you think?

00:43:22.300 Do you, do you think that families should just never go out to eat?

00:43:25.300 Is that what you think?

00:43:26.040 You think when you're, when you're a family and you have young kids, you should, you just

00:43:28.640 stay in your home for 18 years, never emerge.

00:43:33.100 Uh, you know, you never go to like a normal place that, that people go.

00:43:39.140 Families are part of society.

00:43:41.040 Okay.

00:43:41.840 Kids are part of society.

00:43:44.100 They're allowed to be seen.

00:43:45.860 They're allowed to be a part of it.

00:43:47.920 Uh, they should be.

00:43:49.460 And that's, that's kind of the bigger point here is that we should be as welcoming of kids

00:43:55.280 as possible.

00:43:56.400 It doesn't mean that we welcome them in every scenario, but we should be a lot more welcoming

00:44:01.700 of them than we are.

00:44:03.640 And, um, and that's why it's also bizarre to me when I hear, uh, as I have seen from

00:44:11.840 the conversation around this video that, you know, you see these people that say, uh, I

00:44:16.180 just want to go somewhere where there aren't a bunch of kids.

00:44:18.020 I, I, everywhere I go, there's a bunch of kids.

00:44:19.780 I don't, you know, I don't need to see kids when I'm at the bar.

00:44:23.160 What, what are you talking about?

00:44:24.740 Like, why are you acting like we live in a country with big young families everywhere?

00:44:31.880 Why are you acting like everywhere you go, there's just kids all over the place?

00:44:35.360 That's not the case.

00:44:36.920 Unless you happen to live, there are small pockets of the country where, uh, and usually

00:44:43.380 it's like, if you go to a place where there are a lot of very conservative Catholics or a

00:44:49.200 lot of very Orthodox Jews or a lot of very religious Mormons, um, if you go to one of

00:44:56.660 those small pockets, okay, a place like that, you're going to see a lot of big families.

00:45:01.220 You go to a place like, uh, if anyone's familiar with Front Royal of Virginia, okay, you go there.

00:45:05.680 Yeah.

00:45:06.140 Anywhere you go, every family has four, 14 kids at a minimum.

00:45:12.200 Um, but outside of that, I don't know what people are talking about.

00:45:16.120 Most places you go, there's not a lot of kids.

00:45:18.800 And the reason is that the average family, uh, has fewer than two kids.

00:45:26.620 You know, um, we are below replacement level.

00:45:30.560 We are an old country and we are getting older.

00:45:35.060 And that's part of the reason why far from kids being included too much, our problem is

00:45:39.780 the opposite.

00:45:41.420 You know, we make most things adult oriented when they shouldn't be.

00:45:47.080 Right.

00:45:47.580 We're, we're actually, it's not that we're including kids too much.

00:45:49.420 We're, we're taking things away from kids that should be theirs.

00:45:54.040 We've got generations of adults now who are clinging onto like the things of childhood that

00:46:01.060 should belong to kids and, but they're clinging and they won't let go of them and they drag them

00:46:05.680 with them into middle age.

00:46:07.180 Uh, I'll never forget the time when I was, uh, someone was complained, not to me, but in

00:46:12.300 my presence that they were at, I don't remember what it was, some superhero movie, maybe Captain

00:46:16.640 America or something.

00:46:18.140 And they complained that, um, that there were too many kids in the movie.

00:46:23.480 And it's like, it's a superhero movie.

00:46:26.420 It's for kids. 0.72

00:46:28.460 You nerd.

00:46:29.440 What do you, that's what it's for that exists for kids.

00:46:35.440 You're the one who's intruding.

00:46:36.820 If anything, I'm just waiting for the day when I hear someone like leaving a Chuckie cheese

00:46:42.280 and going, man, fun place, but way too many kids.

00:46:45.940 I mean, can't the fella just play in the ball pit without kids all over the place? 1.00

00:46:49.880 Can't the guy slide down the, uh, the, the, the plastic slide with a juice box without

00:46:53.840 kids being all over the place?

00:46:56.860 That's what you all sound like because it's just as absurd to complain about kids at a

00:47:00.840 bar and restaurant.

00:47:03.400 These are classic family places and you're complaining about it because I guess you don't

00:47:09.980 want to see any families.

00:47:12.020 I think some of you watched a children of men and thought that it was an instruction manual.

00:47:16.500 You watched children of men and didn't realize that it's supposed to be a horrifying dystopia.

00:47:21.500 So you saw it exactly the opposite, right?

00:47:23.480 That was a world where no one's having kids anymore.

00:47:25.780 And at the end, there's like one girl who's pregnant and you know, they protect her from 0.94

00:47:29.600 the bad guys and she has a kid.

00:47:30.920 And you watched that movie and you thought it had a sad ending.

00:47:33.460 You thought it was like a happy movie that that's sad at the very end.

00:47:37.120 Um, but that's not the case, uh, that, you know, you should not be excited for a future

00:47:41.620 like that where there are no kids and no families and everybody is old and depressed and dying.

00:47:48.860 That's not good.

00:47:50.020 We don't want that.

00:47:52.880 Although, yeah, I guess in a world like that, you can go to Applebee's and you're not going

00:47:58.080 to have any kids bothering you.

00:47:59.540 So maybe that's the positive.

00:48:01.620 Keeping windshields clean is always a pain, especially with all the rain we've been getting

00:48:04.500 here in Nashville.

00:48:05.040 But that's why I am grateful to have my windshield wow.

00:48:08.340 Windshield wow is an innovative windshield cleaning device that uses two magnetic cleaning

00:48:11.980 paddles, one on the outside, one on the inside of your car to clean both sides of your windshield,

00:48:15.960 all from the outside.

00:48:17.160 Being able to clean both the front and the inside window at the same time is a game changer.

00:48:21.380 Wish I had one of these years ago.

00:48:22.960 Windshield wow applies firm cleaning pressure.

00:48:24.900 It's super thin to get into those tight dashboard areas.

00:48:27.560 Seriously, all you got to do is push around the outside paddle and the inside falls automatically,

00:48:31.840 leaving your windshield squeaky clean.

00:48:33.560 And what's awesome about windshield wow is how easy it is to throw these in the back

00:48:37.680 of your car.

00:48:38.280 Think about how much we're in our cars from daily commutes, road trips, bird droppings,

00:48:42.520 tree sap, and more.

00:48:43.440 Windshield wow is always here to save the day.

00:49:30.580 Eastern on the Daily Wire app, dailywire.com.

00:49:33.340 Now, let's get to our daily cancellation.

00:49:41.200 By the way, before we get into the daily cancellation, we do have a fact check.

00:49:46.040 A fact check.

00:49:46.720 In fact, it's a good thing, though.

00:49:48.120 We were talking about the director of LGBT affairs who was arrested for being, you know,

00:49:54.580 an a-hole to the cops.

00:49:55.660 And I was wondering, this was supposedly a woman with a husband.

00:49:59.820 And I thought, well, that's, this is distressing.

00:50:02.380 This is not representative at all.

00:50:04.400 This is someone who's not in the LGBT community who's the head of LGBT affairs.

00:50:08.580 Well, it turns out, I've now been informed.

00:50:11.580 This news has come across my desk.

00:50:13.860 The news has come across my desk that Selena Morrison, the LGBT affairs director, is trans,

00:50:20.660 is actually, is a man, right?

00:50:23.340 Selena Morrison is a man who's pretending to be a woman.

00:50:26.580 And so, that, if you were concerned about that, as I was, that the office of LGBT affairs

00:50:35.040 in Philadelphia is not representative, you don't have to be concerned about that.

00:50:39.800 That is all fine.

00:50:41.360 And we can all go about our days.

00:50:43.820 All right.

00:50:44.640 We've talked about reparations quite a few times on this show.

00:50:48.000 And very often during this particular segment of the show.

00:50:50.860 And I wish there was a subject that we could move past.

00:50:53.360 But the race hustlers, of course, will not allow it. 1.00

00:50:54.980 In fact, that is, you might say, that the single objective of the race hustlers is to

00:51:00.500 make sure that we never move past anything.

00:51:02.680 And so, to that end, New York is the latest state to take up the cause of reparations.

00:51:07.080 A few days ago, the governor, Kathy Hochul, announced her appointments to the so-called 0.51

00:51:11.120 Community Commission on Reparations Remedies.

00:51:14.500 And the announcement came in a press release which said the following, quote,

00:51:17.200 The commission, formed through legislation, signed in December 2023, acknowledges the horrific

00:51:20.640 injustice of slavery and is tasked with examining the legacy of slavery, subsequent

00:51:24.380 discrimination against people of African descent, and the impact these forces continue to have

00:51:28.740 in the present day.

00:51:29.700 As Americans, we have a solemn responsibility to reckon with our history.

00:51:33.760 And that includes understanding the painful legacy of slavery in New York, Governor Hochul

00:51:36.920 said.

00:51:37.880 We've assembled an extraordinary group of high-quality individuals to serve on the new commission

00:51:41.640 and will review their final recommendations.

00:51:43.580 Today's announcement is an important step toward addressing the legacy of slavery and its

00:51:47.820 impact on present-day realities, according to Lieutenant Governor Antonio Delgado.

00:51:51.420 Through the work of this commission, our state can lead in what should be a national conversation

00:51:56.320 about the truth of our past and the healing work required to create a more just future.

00:52:01.600 Yes, well, that's what we need most of all, isn't it?

00:52:03.820 A national conversation about all the bad things that happened in this country hundreds of years

00:52:08.080 ago.

00:52:09.180 Now, you might think that we've already had that conversation.

00:52:12.420 You might think that we've been having that conversation for years.

00:52:14.900 You might think that we talk about our historical sins more than any country in the world or

00:52:19.480 history has ever talked about their historical sins.

00:52:22.900 You might think that our national self-esteem has sunk into subterranean levels, and there's

00:52:27.620 absolutely nothing to be gained by continuing to talk incessantly and exclusively about all

00:52:31.700 of the terrible atrocities, whether real or imagined, that our ancestors inflicted on one

00:52:36.500 another.

00:52:37.260 You might think that our problem isn't our lack of focus on our flaws, but rather that we don't

00:52:42.340 focus on anything but our flaws, you might think of all that, but that's because you

00:52:46.840 are a normal, emotionally stable, psychologically well-adjusted person.

00:52:52.020 Unfortunately, our country is not run by people like you. 0.97

00:52:54.740 It's run by sadomasochistic lunatics, and that's how you end up with reparations commissions. 0.94

00:52:59.860 The good news, as we covered a few weeks ago, is that these commissions rarely lead to anything 0.92

00:53:05.040 real or substantive.

00:53:06.020 For example, in San Francisco, the African-American Reparations Advisory Committee had their own powwow

00:53:11.980 a term that would no doubt offend them deeply, which is why I used it.

00:53:15.800 And as a result, they recommended, if you recall, cash payments to black residents of 0.69

00:53:21.480 the city.

00:53:21.820 But so far, those payments have not materialized.

00:53:24.840 That's probably because they demanded $5 million apiece in addition to a six-figure yearly

00:53:30.500 income to every black person in San Francisco.

00:53:32.920 And the total cost of that measure would be about $100 billion, which is nearly 10 times

00:53:38.940 the city's annual budget.

00:53:41.080 In order to pay for it, you assume, they would have to 10x their tax revenue, which would,

00:53:45.800 of course, bankrupt every resident who isn't already homeless and living in a tent on the

00:53:50.880 sidewalk.

00:53:51.800 Now, personally, I would probably enjoy seeing this proposal put into practice in San Francisco.

00:53:57.340 Just let them put themselves out of their misery and embrace the final ruination of their city

00:54:03.240 and community through this crazy, you know, harebrained scheme. 0.87

00:54:06.980 But the mayor isn't quite insane enough to go along with it, so it hasn't happened. 0.68

00:54:10.820 And instead, in lieu of making every black person in the city an instant Powerball winner,

00:54:16.380 the city voted last week instead to just issue an apology.

00:54:21.180 Watch.

00:54:22.460 Well, we all know how powerful an apology can be.

00:54:25.260 Today, San Francisco supervisors may take another step towards formally apologizing to

00:54:30.360 the city's African-American people for policies that hurt them or held them back.

00:54:35.340 NBC Bay Area's Chris Sanchez joins us with the vote the supervisors will take up.

00:54:39.540 Laura, this has been in the works for a while now, and the recommendation from the Reparations

00:54:44.560 Committee is unanimous.

00:54:46.340 We expect that the supervisors will approve and move forward with that formal apology,

00:54:51.660 which, as it's written, reads in part, quote,

00:54:55.260 On behalf of the city and county of San Francisco, the San Francisco Board of Supervisors offers

00:55:00.260 its deepest apologies to all African-Americans and their descendants who came to San Francisco 1.00

00:55:05.660 and were victims of systemic and structural discrimination, institutionalized racism,

00:55:11.720 targeted acts of violence and atrocities.

00:55:13.940 And be it further resolved that the city and county of San Francisco commit to non-repetition

00:55:19.920 of the policies and practices which caused these harms, commit to the restoration for

00:55:24.940 the ways that racism has caused insult to black humanity and manifested in both visible and

00:55:30.980 invisible trauma through the means of compensation, restoration and rehabilitation, and commit to

00:55:37.420 making substantial, ongoing, systemic, and programmatic investments in black communities

00:55:42.640 to address historical and present harms.

00:55:45.980 Well, that ought to do it.

00:55:47.180 Now we can all move on. 0.98

00:55:48.400 I have to say, although this apology is pointless and stupid, I do deeply appreciate the humor of it. 0.98

00:55:53.900 The race hustlers wanted $5 million a piece, and instead they got a two-paragraph apology. 0.99

00:55:58.780 It's like promising your wife a trip to a tropical island for your anniversary,

00:56:02.040 but instead you just give her a postcard with a picture of a tropical island on it.

00:56:05.360 And, you know, I don't know.

00:56:07.360 They say it's the thought that counts, but in practice, that rarely turns out to be the case,

00:56:11.360 which is why, as you might expect, this apology has not been entirely well-received.

00:56:16.280 Reading now from Fox News, quote,

00:56:17.940 A reparations expert says that San Francisco's apology to black residents won't mean anything

00:56:21.800 if it's not backed with actions.

00:56:23.580 Reparations are the redemptive act that makes the rhetoric of an apology meaningless,

00:56:27.280 or meaningful, rather.

00:56:28.460 Reparations scholar Roy Brooks, a law professor at the University of San Diego, told USA Today,

00:56:32.160 quote, you can't just sit, say you're sorry, and walk away, Brooks added,

00:56:36.300 telling USA Today that, quote, an apology alone was not sufficient.

00:56:39.640 San Francisco voted Tuesday to formally apologize to black residents after decades of institutional

00:56:42.840 racism.

00:56:43.440 All 11 of the San Francisco Board of Supervisors signed on as sponsors of the resolution to

00:56:47.940 apologize for the city's complicity in systemic and structural discrimination.

00:56:52.600 Although the city officials voted unanimously to formalize an apology, some slammed the measure

00:56:56.580 before it passed as insufficient due to other reparations being put on hold due to budget

00:57:01.060 issues.

00:57:01.720 Reverend Amos C. Brown, a member of the San Francisco Reparations Advisory Committee and

00:57:06.220 the official who proposed for the city to formally pass the apology, also said it's not enough.

00:57:11.360 An apology is just cotton candy rhetoric, Brown said.

00:57:14.460 What we need is concrete actions.

00:57:18.220 Concrete actions, says the reverend.

00:57:19.740 Namely, one specific concrete action, and that is the action of putting cold, hard cash

00:57:24.800 into the reverend's pocket.

00:57:27.080 This is how you know that someone has been sincerely and genuinely harmed.

00:57:30.440 You know, when you apologize to them and they say, no, it's not enough, nothing will ever heal

00:57:34.020 my wounds, nothing but a briefcase with $5 million in cash.

00:57:38.700 So there's one thing that can heal my wounds, it turns out, but it has to be exactly $5 million,

00:57:42.560 not $3 million or $4 million.

00:57:44.340 I will accept more than $5 million, however, if you want.

00:57:46.880 Yes, these are the words of a truly aggrieved and traumatized people.

00:57:52.260 And speaking of which, as New York and San Francisco figure out the reparations puzzle,

00:57:56.460 another viral video on the subject attempts to debunk objections to the reparations scheme.

00:58:02.020 And let's see how well this person does.

00:58:04.900 Watch.

00:58:06.120 Here's how most white people respond to the idea of reparations for African Americans.

00:58:11.220 No one alive today was ever enslaved, and no one alive today was ever a slave owner. 0.99

00:58:15.460 This is ridiculous.

00:58:16.260 We're not giving away free money just based on race. 0.97

00:58:19.080 Every culture has some form of slavery.

00:58:21.240 But every white person who is alive today is still benefiting from the transatlantic slave 0.99

00:58:25.700 trade and chattel slavery.

00:58:27.120 And every black person who is alive today is still being negatively impacted by the legacy

00:58:31.800 of the transatlantic slave trade and chattel slavery.

00:58:34.620 It's not giving away free money to people based on their race.

00:58:38.420 It's an overdue debt that has been owed for hundreds of years that has yet to be paid.

00:58:43.420 Other cultures did not have chattel slavery where people were born into slavery in perpetuity

00:58:49.120 with no way to get out of it and by no fault of their own and then terrorized.

00:58:53.740 It's not only about chattel slavery. 0.73

00:58:55.520 It's also about the white supremacist domestic terrorism against black people that has been 0.98

00:59:00.240 happening for hundreds of years. 0.98

00:59:01.360 And it's still happening.

00:59:02.780 It's still happening today.

00:59:05.120 Reparations are for chattel slavery. 0.90

00:59:07.040 Yes.

00:59:07.440 And also for the government sanctioned violence, displacement, dehumanization, criminalization

00:59:12.460 and marginalization of black people ever since chattel slavery ended.

00:59:16.700 Period. 0.56

00:59:17.560 Got it?

00:59:18.520 Good.

00:59:19.040 She's very proud of herself, you can tell, but she shouldn't be proud of that shirt with

00:59:24.600 the spiky shoulder pads.

00:59:26.360 It's like something a Star Trek villain would wear.

00:59:28.860 She should ask for reparations from whoever sold her that shirt.

00:59:32.720 I'm not equipped to give fashion advice, of course, but it looks like doorknobs on her 0.89

00:59:36.740 shoulders.

00:59:38.060 Why?

00:59:38.340 I don't get it.

00:59:40.160 Anyway, as we know, everything she says in the video is false.

00:59:44.460 It's not true that chattel slavery was unique to the Western world.

00:59:47.100 This form of slavery existed all over the world, was practiced by non-white cultures for 1.00

00:59:50.800 thousands of years.

00:59:51.700 This is just the kind of thing that if I already, if I didn't already have zero faith in the

00:59:56.720 education system, I would find this very troubling that this, I mean, anyone could think this,

01:00:01.760 let alone so many people think that chattel slavery was some sort of unique thing in the

01:00:08.980 West.

01:00:09.400 It wasn't, although arguably the category of chattel slavery as distinct from other kinds

01:00:15.660 of slavery is somewhat incoherent anyway.

01:00:18.920 I mean, all slaves were chattel by definition.

01:00:22.080 Chattel is property, and a slave was a person treated as property.

01:00:26.540 Any form of slavery where the slave was not property was not slavery.

01:00:30.920 So if it was slavery, then it was chattel slavery. 0.62

01:00:33.120 And slavery, the use and exploitation of human beings as property, was the norm across the

01:00:41.420 world for millennia.

01:00:43.780 Africans certainly, without a doubt, practiced chattel slavery. 1.00

01:00:46.860 They practiced it against each other.

01:00:48.220 They practiced it against whites and other outsiders.

01:00:50.860 That's a fact that cannot be denied by any historically literate person, which is why it is so often denied

01:00:55.500 by so many people these days, because historical literacy is at an all-time low.

01:00:59.560 And this is a point we've covered many times, of course.

01:01:03.100 If we're going to hand out reparations, given the ubiquity of slavery across the world for

01:01:07.060 so many centuries, then we should, by all rights, have 30 different reparations programs to cover

01:01:11.680 everyone whose ancestors were negatively impacted by it, which would be basically everyone.

01:01:17.320 If it's true that people can be owed restitution for the legacy of harm that impacts them in

01:01:22.820 unspecified and unknowable ways today, then again, reparations should come in many forms.

01:01:26.840 But of course, you know, when you think about it, you realize that, indeed, the reparations

01:01:31.900 mentality does come in many forms.

01:01:35.140 The basic idea behind reparations is that a person is owed something from society because

01:01:41.040 of the theoretical disadvantages that they experience.

01:01:45.240 Slavery reparations is just one manifestation of that spiritual sickness. 0.91

01:01:49.940 There are many other manifestations of it.

01:01:52.440 Indeed, our culture and our politics is driven by this mentality.

01:01:57.800 So just yesterday, we talked about programs in cities across the country that give no-strings-attached

01:02:01.740 cash payments to disadvantaged people.

01:02:05.400 Cash payments that, as we read, are often used on spa treatments and fancy vacations and

01:02:09.880 that sort of thing.

01:02:11.240 And this was not, you know, framed as slavery reparations, but it's basically a form of reparations.

01:02:17.900 We're giving people money that they didn't earn because, for some reason, in some way that

01:02:21.720 no one can explain, they are owed it.

01:02:24.780 Again, this is pervasive.

01:02:26.560 You might say that so-called student loan forgiveness is a kind of reparations for college

01:02:30.440 students.

01:02:31.320 The same logic applies.

01:02:32.620 Money is taken from those who earned it, given to those who did not, on the logic that

01:02:37.000 the recipients are owed restitution, that they deserve it because of how deeply they've

01:02:41.840 suffered from, in this case, their own reckless financial decisions.

01:02:44.680 And it's this same kind of logic that lies behind all of the special laws and special

01:02:49.120 protections afforded to certain demographic groups and not others.

01:02:52.420 These are all the poison fruits that grow from the same root system.

01:02:57.980 This is a general psychosis that infects the entire country.

01:03:02.520 People are obsessed with what they think they are owed.

01:03:06.540 They walk around keeping tally of all the disadvantages they experience.

01:03:10.000 Disadvantages that prove to be imaginary most of the time, and then they demand that those 0.99

01:03:14.660 disadvantages be rectified.

01:03:16.940 Now, if you go up to a person like this and you ask them to tell you about their goals,

01:03:24.100 about their ambitions, about their deepest longings, and if you ask them that, they probably

01:03:29.660 wouldn't be able to answer the question.

01:03:31.420 They wouldn't be able to tell you what their goals are, what they want to accomplish.

01:03:34.320 But if you ask them to list all of the ways that their lives are unfair, well, they'll

01:03:40.420 provide a detailed accounting.

01:03:42.000 I mean, they'll talk your ear off.

01:03:44.000 Then it's like, how much time do you have?

01:03:46.000 You know, I could tell you for six hours about that.

01:03:49.080 That's because they are motivated almost entirely by these resentments, by these feelings of personal

01:03:54.840 injury.

01:03:55.780 It's what drives them, drives them in circles, to be specific.

01:03:59.680 And this is the worst thing about reparations in all of its forms.

01:04:04.160 It's not that the schemes are always economically suicidal, though they are.

01:04:07.980 It's rather that they feed and encourage a mentality that dooms people to lives of discontentment

01:04:13.980 and envy.

01:04:14.700 It leads to a passive life, a life spent waiting for someone else to come along and give you

01:04:20.820 what you think you are owed.

01:04:22.980 When in reality, you're not owed anything at all.

01:04:25.240 Nobody is in debt to you simply because you exist and they exist.

01:04:32.320 Society doesn't owe you anything.

01:04:34.360 The universe doesn't owe you or care about you or know you exist.

01:04:39.000 Reality itself is indifferent to you.

01:04:42.980 Your feelings of being owed are just that, their feelings. 1.00

01:04:45.960 They have no relevance outside of your own silly little head. 0.97

01:04:49.340 Now, all that to say, does that mean that you haven't been negatively impacted by things 0.98

01:04:57.040 that have happened to you and even things that happened to your ancestors generations

01:04:59.980 ago?

01:05:00.540 No, it doesn't mean that.

01:05:01.560 Indeed, bad things have happened to you.

01:05:04.340 If you're a person, there have been bad things that have happened to you.

01:05:06.940 And bad things happen to your ancestors, whoever you are and whoever your ancestors were.

01:05:11.840 And some of those bad things may even reverberate today.

01:05:15.040 I don't deny that.

01:05:15.760 I don't deny that if something terrible happened to your ancestor 150 years ago, it's quite possible

01:05:21.780 that that set off a chain of events and that you are still in some way experiencing the

01:05:29.900 repercussions of that.

01:05:31.700 That could be the case.

01:05:33.300 If your great-great-grandfather was a wealthy tycoon instead of a slave, it's possible you'd

01:05:38.580 be in a better place today than you currently are or not.

01:05:41.620 I mean, it's impossible to know, but regardless, your history is what it is or was what it was,

01:05:47.760 we should say.

01:05:49.260 If things were different, you could be in a better place.

01:05:52.000 You could be in a worse place.

01:05:53.840 As we've covered before, you could not even exist at all.

01:05:57.720 It's just a thought exercise and it's not a very helpful or useful one.

01:06:01.340 And when this thought exercise becomes the animating force of your entire life, when this idea that

01:06:07.240 you could have it better if only this and that thing hadn't happened in the past, then
