The Matt Walsh Show - Ep. 1365 - The Public School System Is Covering Up A Massive Sex Abuse Scandal

00:00:00.000 Today on the Matt Wall Show, several more public school teachers have been arrested this month for sexually abusing their students.

00:00:05.300 This is part of a massive, decades-long abuse epidemic that has claimed millions of victims, yet somehow it still isn't treated as a major scandal.

00:00:12.380 Also, a man in D.C. fires an AR-15 at a car in the middle of his neighborhood.

00:00:16.640 He's already back on the street.

00:00:18.120 Hunger strikers at Princeton claim that it's unfair that their hunger strike has made them hungry.

00:00:22.620 And a liberal punk rock band has put out a cringy song that proves why punk rock is dead.

00:00:27.660 All of that and more today on the Matt Wall Show.

00:01:50.000 That's puretalk.com slash Walsh today.

00:01:52.780 It's always interesting to notice what kind of data the government tracks and what kind of data gets completely ignored.

00:01:58.600 Every couple of years, for example, we get something called a national climate assessment.

00:02:02.740 If the sea level rises by a millimeter off the Oregon coast, you'll know about it.

00:02:07.400 We also receive regular government reports on the number of women who decide to take STEM classes.

00:02:11.720 And also the popularity of non-binary and pansexual gender identities in places like Honduras.

00:02:18.120 They actually track that.

00:02:19.760 What we haven't received, though, for two decades, is a comprehensive update from the government on the number of children who are sexually abused in government schools.

00:02:29.080 Now, it was all the way back in 2004 that the Department of Education released a report finding that between kindergarten and 12th grade,

00:02:35.540 9.6% of students nationwide were subjected to sexual misconduct by a school employee.

00:02:40.760 That's one in 10 students totaling more than 5 million child victims in the system at any given time.

00:02:48.960 And that is the government itself telling us this.

00:02:52.360 Teachers, coaches, and bus drivers were the most common offenders.

00:02:56.200 A finding like that should have led to a national outcry and immediate changes.

00:03:01.660 And indeed, the Department of Education's report recommended several new policies for screening employees and standardizing policies to make these kinds of incidents easier to report and keep track of.

00:03:12.440 But none of that ever happened.

00:03:14.400 And the federal government has barely shown any interest in the topic in the 20 years since.

00:03:19.540 Now, there certainly was no broader cultural reaction to the Department of Education's report either.

00:03:24.040 And, you know, that's a big contrast to other scandals involving systemic sexual abuse.

00:03:30.160 A decade ago, a popular film called Spotlight dramatized the work of investigative journalists at the Boston Globe.

00:03:36.540 The journalists discovered a cover-up of child sexual abuse in the Catholic Church, and they won a Pulitzer for their reporting, back when winning a Pulitzer actually meant something.

00:03:44.320 And then the movie about those journalists won six Academy Awards.

00:03:48.680 And, of course, the Catholic Church scandal received significant attention far beyond that movie and the Boston Globe.

00:03:54.000 A few years later, we got a bunch of Me Too-themed movies that no one really wanted, including She Said and Bombshell.

00:04:00.560 Adult women in Hollywood were victims of pervasive abuse, we were told, and it needed to end. 0.82

00:04:05.960 And in many cases, it was true that this abuse was actually happening.

00:04:09.260 And the public outcry in defense of the female victims of sexual misconduct in Hollywood was also immense.

00:04:16.800 Everyone seemed to care about that, a lot.

00:04:20.540 But again, there has been no equivalent movement to end the sexual assault of children in schools, particularly public schools, where most of the abuse happens, with the help of our tax money.

00:04:30.780 Why would the sexual abuse of adult women in Hollywood receive so much attention, while the sexual abuse of children in the government school system receives basically none?

00:04:44.000 Now, every so often for the past decade, I've done a monologue or written a piece asking this question.

00:04:50.240 When exactly will the movement to end this child sex abuse epidemic arrive?

00:04:54.340 I've wondered when the public will start to care, even a little bit, about the rampant sex abuse scandal in the public school system.

00:05:00.780 You know, that place where 50 million American children spend the majority of their formative years?

00:05:07.080 And so far, the answer has been, not yet.

00:05:10.580 Even though every other day, we are hearing about another child who's been sexually abused by a teacher.

00:05:15.900 So here's just the latest example.

00:05:17.980 And this is from earlier this week.

00:05:19.660 Watch.

00:05:20.020 Hudson, Wisconsin, accused of kissing and exchanging secret messages with one of her students. 0.96

00:05:26.300 Let's check in right now with Audrey Russo, who's in Hudson Live right now. 1.00

00:05:30.680 Audrey.

00:05:33.580 Jason, I spent the overnight hours combing through the most recent court filing, and here's what I found.

00:05:39.660 Right now, 24-year-old Madison Bergman is out of jail.

00:05:43.400 She's out on a $25,000 signature bond.

00:05:46.600 She's charged with first-degree child sex assault. 0.82

00:05:49.500 Now, here's how we got to this point.

00:05:51.840 Police say that Bergman's abuse of this fifth-grade student came to light really just in a matter of days.

00:05:58.720 The male victim's parents found text messages between him and Bergman on Monday morning.

00:06:03.920 Then on Wednesday, the parents brought those texts to Rivercrest Elementary School administrators.

00:06:09.320 Those texts include conversations about the two kissing, touching, making out.

00:06:14.360 Bergman was questioned on Wednesday.

00:06:15.880 She told investigators she was given the child's phone number after a trip to Afton Alps with the child's family.

00:06:21.900 She was then placed under arrest.

00:06:24.300 Here's one of the text messages.

00:06:25.680 Quote,

00:06:25.820 Now, those are her words to a kid who would be 10 or 11 years old.

00:06:43.500 Apparently, this woman got the child's phone number, as we heard, after the family invited her to go on vacation with them for some reason.

00:06:49.260 And that was the same month that she got engaged to her boyfriend, by the way.

00:06:53.180 Now, there are so many stories like this just this year alone and even the past month that it's impossible to cover all of them in this show.

00:06:59.160 If I spent the whole hour on it, I couldn't do it.

00:07:01.080 But I'll go through some of them because it's important to understand the scale of the problem.

00:07:04.420 For example, just a couple of days ago in Gatesville, Texas, a teacher was arrested for sending sexually explicit messages to a 15-year-old student.

00:07:12.060 Watch.

00:07:13.400 The Gatesville Independent School District junior high school teachers facing charges of having an inappropriate relationship with a student.

00:07:20.620 Police arrested Christine Page Cockrell, who was an earth science teacher, on Friday.

00:07:25.400 A statement was issued by Gatesville ISD, stated that on April 11th, the district was informed that a student claimed he received what was termed a, quote, inappropriate online communication from a teacher.

00:07:38.980 The teacher was immediately placed on administrative leave.

00:07:42.140 On May 2nd, two warrants for improper relationship between educator and student were issued to Cockrell, and she was arrested the next day.

00:07:49.600 There are no allegations of inappropriate physical contact at this time.

00:07:52.720 One of the victims was a student of Gatesville High School.

00:07:55.820 The other currently lives in Ohio and attends a high school there. 0.90

00:08:00.380 So this is an eighth grade teacher who, by the way, appears to be old enough to be somebody's grandmother who was allegedly propositioning children for sex using Instagram direct messages and asking them to send her pictures of their genitals. 0.98

00:08:13.080 She also sent nude pictures of herself. 0.90

00:08:15.560 And the charges are actually worse than what you just heard in the video.

00:08:17.700 One of the charges she's now facing includes possession of child pornography with intent to distribute.

00:08:22.720 Now, as of now, this teacher hasn't been accused of physical sexual assault of a child, but we'll see what the investigation turns up as it continues.

00:08:31.180 There are plenty other recent examples of physical abuse happening, though.

00:08:35.360 Three weeks ago in Omaha, for example, a 45-year-old married substitute teacher was caught in her car having sex with a 17-year-old student.

00:08:43.060 Here's that story.

00:08:43.700 Crime Tracker tonight, a substitute teacher in Omaha is behind bars after police say they caught her in a car without clothes on with a teenager.

00:08:53.460 Douglas County Sheriff's Deputies say they found a car parked on a dead-end road just before 3 a.m. in Elkhorn.

00:08:59.520 When deputies arrived, they found two people in the backseat.

00:09:02.800 One of them attempted to drive off but crashed into a tree.

00:09:05.540 After the crash, authorities say they found a teen an hour later in a nearby neighborhood wearing only underwear and a T-shirt.

00:09:13.160 Back at the scene, police identified the other occupant of the car as Erin Ward.

00:09:17.340 Police say Ward told them she had sex with the teen.

00:09:20.360 Omaha Public School Employee ID cards were also reportedly found in Ward's vehicle.

00:09:26.140 She was charged with felony sexual abuse by a school employee.

00:09:29.100 In this case, after the police showed up, the student apparently got in the driver's seat of the Honda Pilot, half naked, crashed it before hiding from police for an hour.

00:09:37.880 And, you know, you'll hear from some corners of the Internet that this kind of sexual abuse is no big deal because 17 is considered legally old enough to consent to sexual activity in some states, including Nebraska, where this happened.

00:09:51.840 So they'll say, and some people have said, that it's a victimless crime, even though none of the people saying that would want their son or daughter to be found having sex with a middle-aged teacher in the backseat of a Honda Pilot on a dead-end road at 3 in the morning.

00:10:08.220 Further, we should note, many of the victims in systemic sexual abuse scandals that have attracted widespread attention have been even older than 17.

00:10:16.300 And again, the Me Too movement began because of the experiences of mostly adult actresses, many of whom willingly had sex with male producers in order to procure film roles. 0.79

00:10:26.020 And that was seen as a major scandal, a major national scandal.

00:10:30.420 But this sort of thing isn't?

00:10:32.540 How so?

00:10:33.900 And yet, this dismissive attitude has led to so much underreporting of teacher sex abuse in schools.

00:10:40.600 And we can also measure that.

00:10:41.800 Business Insider, of all places, just published an in-depth exposé of decades' worth of sex abuse accusations at just one school.

00:10:49.160 This is Rosemead High School in Los Angeles.

00:10:51.740 Now, there won't be any spotlight-style movie of a Business Insider's report, we can assume.

00:10:56.960 But credit where it's due, it's worth reading in its entirety.

00:11:00.800 The report shows, among other things, how often parents are reluctant to call authorities to report inappropriate behavior in schools, even when it's right in front of them.

00:11:08.180 They don't want to be seen as challenging school officials for some reason.

00:11:14.100 And schools are all too happy to take advantage of this.

00:11:16.640 On the relatively rare occasion that they do receive complaints, schools often cover them up.

00:11:21.900 In Los Angeles, at one school, that went on for decades as nearly two dozen victims piled up that we know of.

00:11:27.740 Now, another excuse I've heard to explain why the sex abuse epidemic in schools isn't treated as a major scandal is that supposedly the perpetrators are being arrested and prosecuted and convicted.

00:11:41.520 There's no cover-up.

00:11:43.220 You know, so it's not a scandal, I'm told.

00:11:45.440 But that's not true.

00:11:46.580 That is just a lie.

00:11:48.280 It is a lie.

00:11:49.300 There are cover-ups happening all across the country.

00:11:52.080 You don't get thousands of abusers in your system without cover-ups.

00:11:55.700 If there was a habit of smoking these people out and holding them accountable, you wouldn't end up with five million abused kids in the system, obviously.

00:12:05.520 These cover-ups happen all the time and are happening right now all over the country.

00:12:11.000 As Fox 9 in Minneapolis found just this week in response to allegations of sexual misconduct concerning teachers, schools can choose not to renew teachers' contracts instead of firing them outright.

00:12:21.920 And that avoids all of their legal reporting obligations.

00:12:24.960 Quoting from the Fox 9 from just a couple of days ago, quote,

00:12:28.280 When a former teacher was charged with having sex with a student earlier this year, police records indicated that he had already been fired from a St. Paul charter school.

00:12:36.620 But he wasn't.

00:12:37.580 Personnel records obtained by the Fox 9 investigators reveal Brandon Bunny was not actually terminated by the Hmong College Preparatory Academy.

00:12:45.680 Instead, his teaching contract was rescinded last May after a staff member alerted school leadership about boundary concerns with a student.

00:12:53.960 Had Bunny been terminated, the school would have been legally required to report him to the state teaching board that decides which teachers are allowed in classroom.

00:13:02.140 But that didn't happen because he wasn't technically fired.

00:13:04.920 This is how most jurisdictions handle child sex abuse in schools.

00:13:10.240 They do what the Catholic Church did in many cases.

00:13:12.200 They shuffle the abuser from one place to another without telling anybody, just as abuser priests were shipped from one diocese to another for the same reason.

00:13:21.060 And even when the teachers are punished, in many cases, they aren't punished to any significant degree.

00:13:24.480 In March, a 9th grade teacher in Lincoln, Nebraska, who had sex with a student 10 times, was just sentenced to probation plus 90 days in jail.

00:13:32.600 That's it.

00:13:33.620 And late last year, a 48-year-old teacher who had sex with a 15-year-old student was sentenced to three years probation with no jail time.

00:13:41.560 The teacher doesn't even have to register as a sex offender.

00:13:44.240 And by the way, if you think that this light treatment is because the abusers in the public school system are often women,

00:13:50.100 well, it's actually not that simple because the 48-year-old predator in that case was a man.

00:13:55.280 One of the few jurisdictions that actually takes this kind of abuse seriously is Florida.

00:14:00.180 Here's a report from Hillsborough County from just two weeks ago.

00:14:03.640 Listen.

00:14:04.520 Our Hillsborough County teacher is behind bars after the sheriff's office says he had an illegal relationship with one of his students.

00:14:12.100 Yeah, it came to light as deputies responded to Durant High School for an unrelated call.

00:14:16.300 Annie Mapp joins us now live at the Hillsborough County Courthouse where the suspect had a first appearance. 0.97

00:14:21.040 Annie.

00:14:21.160 We're talking about 25-year-old Jaime Hernandez Cabrera.

00:14:27.020 He taught agriculture at Durant High School and is accused of having a sexual relationship with a student on school property and during school hours.

00:14:37.080 This is absolutely disgusting and this community will not stand for this.

00:14:40.780 Hillsborough County investigators say 25-year-old Jaime Hernandez Cabrera met the now 16-year-old victim on Snapchat in the fall of 2022.

00:14:51.380 Whether or not she consented does not matter in this situation due to her age.

00:14:56.300 She is young.

00:14:56.940 This relationship began when she was younger than she is now.

00:15:00.600 The suspect and victim then allegedly engaged in a sexual relationship that lasted several months and continued when Hernandez Cabrera started teaching at the victim's school in August of last year.

00:15:13.480 He's facing mandatory life in prison.

00:15:15.100 That is because our legislature said we will not tolerate teachers who prey upon their students because he was her teacher.

00:15:20.740 He actually had her in a class this year.

00:15:24.400 Facing mandatory life imprisonment.

00:15:26.580 Now, that should be the norm in every single one of these schools, K-12, where a teacher sexually abuses a child. 0.51

00:15:33.960 But it's not.

00:15:35.440 And that's why you keep hearing so many of these stories.

00:15:37.780 Every video I've shown you has been from just the past month.

00:15:41.280 That's how common this is.

00:15:43.380 And there are dozens of these stories every month.

00:15:47.280 And, of course, those are just a small fraction of the sexual misconduct cases that get reported.

00:15:51.140 So you have to ask, has anything changed since the Department of Education's report in 2004, finding that at the time, 10% of children are abused in schools?

00:16:03.200 Five million at the time.

00:16:05.760 What happened?

00:16:06.600 Has the problem, has it gotten any better?

00:16:10.200 Probably not.

00:16:10.760 Has it gotten worse?

00:16:12.340 Well, it seems that way.

00:16:13.760 Again, the government doesn't seem interested in finding out.

00:16:15.600 But within the past year, a nonprofit called the Defense of Freedom Institute conducted its own investigation into the data from public schools.

00:16:22.700 They analyzed various reporting numbers that the government makes available, but only if you know where to look.

00:16:28.360 And here's what they found.

00:16:29.720 Quote, between 2010 and 2019, the number of complaints filed with the U.S. Department of Education's Office for Civil Rights alleging sexual violence against K-12 schools more than tripled.

00:16:40.380 Now, I'm going to stop there because it bears repeating.

00:16:42.780 The number of alleged instances of sexual violence in public schools, and this is just that have been reported, has more than tripled in the past decade.

00:16:52.120 It has not gone down.

00:16:53.720 It has not stayed the same.

00:16:55.340 It has dramatically increased.

00:16:57.840 And we're not just talking about inappropriate communications here.

00:17:00.120 The report continues.

00:17:00.800 For 2015 to 2016, the Civil Rights Data Collection reported 9,649 incidents of sexual violence.

00:17:08.840 Of that number, 394 constituted instances of rape or attempted rape.

00:17:13.180 For 2017 to 2018, the numbers were 13,799 and 685, respectively, an increase of 43% and 74%.

00:17:22.860 So, the report goes on to find that local teachers' unions often work to conceal sexual abuse by permitting employees to resign, which is the same practice that Fox 9 discovered this week in Minnesota.

00:17:34.480 Quote, unions use collective bargaining and nondisclosure agreements to conceal the records of abusive employees, and union leaders wield their powerful influence in many state legislators to stymie legislation.

00:17:45.240 Now, the solution, as outlined by the Defense of Freedom Institute, is as straightforward as it was in 2004.

00:17:53.340 Congress should require local education agencies and school districts to catalog and report all school-level data on sexual abuse and violent crimes.

00:18:01.380 Any school district or local education agency that conceals these crimes or allegations concerning these crimes should lose federal funding immediately, and that is just for starters.

00:18:11.140 Like, that's the first thing, and certainly not the last.

00:18:15.880 But Congress has shown no interest in passing a law like that because there has been no national campaign about child sex abuse in schools.

00:18:24.100 Certainly, there's been nothing on the level of the Me Too movement or the coverage of the Catholic priest sex abuse scandal.

00:18:31.000 And that's even though far more Americans have children who are subjected to potential abuse from public school teachers than they do, you know, children who might be subjected to abuse from movie producers or even Catholic priests.

00:18:48.600 I have to repeat, I have to repeat once again, 50 million kids are in this system.

00:18:54.320 To be clear, as much as I've talked about the many excesses of the Me Too movement, it's good that the predators in those institutions have been exposed and, to some limited extent at least, brought to justice.

00:19:04.920 But it just boggles my mind that widespread sexual predation in the public school system, a system millions of parents entrust their children to, has not attracted even a fraction of the interest or the outrage.

00:19:18.380 The only way to prevent even more children from being abused is to change that as quickly as possible.

00:19:26.580 When you're running a business, time is money.

00:20:45.040 Watch.

00:20:45.200 New at 530, he's accused of firing 26 shots from an AR-15 rifle into a public D.C. street.

00:20:53.360 The U.S. Attorney's Office says they have multiple videos of him doing it.

00:20:57.160 Yeah, and you can hear it right there.

00:20:58.400 And now neighbors are rightfully outraged after a judge released the defendant before trial.

00:21:03.540 Our chief investigative reporter, Eric Flack, has obtained stunning video of the alleged incident.

00:21:07.760 Yeah, so E, the U.S. Attorney's Office is trying to reverse the judge's decision based on what we see here, right?

00:21:14.240 Yeah, they are, Leslie, and they're trying to do it fast.

00:21:16.540 The U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia has filed an emergency order to reverse the magistrate judge's decision

00:21:22.780 to grant the 18-year-old shooting suspect pre-trial release.

00:21:27.300 We want to warn you, this story contains images and sounds of gunfire.

00:21:36.460 18-year-old Amante Moody is accused of firing 26 shots from an AR-15 semi-automatic rifle at an SUV driving away

00:21:45.880 on Independence Avenue in Southeast on April 22nd.

00:21:49.980 Prosecutors say the 2 a.m. incident was captured on three different cameras.

00:21:54.500 Two of those videos have been obtained by WUSA 9.

00:22:01.580 No injuries were reported, but Moody was charged with assault with a dangerous weapon

00:22:05.980 and possession of a firearm with a crime of violence.

00:22:09.140 Both are felonies.

00:22:10.500 Moody was initially detained after his arrest, but in a hearing last week,

00:22:14.420 Magistrate Judge Lloyd Nolan granted a public defender's motion for pre-trial release,

00:22:20.060 placing Moody on round-the-clock home detention in Maryland with GPS monitoring

00:22:24.720 and a stay-away order from occupants in the car.

00:22:28.140 Monday, the U.S. Attorney's Office asked for an emergency hearing to revoke Moody's pre-trial release,

00:22:33.620 claiming in court documents, home confinement and GPS monitoring

00:22:37.220 cannot reasonably assure the community's safety

00:22:39.860 because pre-trial services, which is supposed to keep tabs on Moody,

00:22:43.900 only works during, quote, normal business hours.

00:22:46.700 Prosecutors also say that despite defense attorney arguments,

00:22:50.220 which emphasize Moody's family support system and lack of criminal history,

00:22:54.680 prosecutors say none of that stopped Moody from allegedly emptying that AR-15.

00:22:59.620 Yeah, you know, the family, I'm sure there's a great family support system.

00:23:03.140 That's why you've got this guy out in the middle of the street firing an AR-15.

00:23:09.620 That's a real good indication that there's a family support system.

00:23:15.640 You know, and this is really, this isn't really the point, but, well, it sort of is. 1.00

00:23:20.480 It's part of the point that the stupidity of these criminals is just staggering. 1.00

00:23:26.680 We hear in the report that he hid the weapon after doing this, 1.00

00:23:33.200 which means that he was trying to get away with it,

00:23:35.880 like he wanted to get away with it, he thought he would, so he stashed it.

00:23:40.060 Yet he's in the middle of the street with multiple cameras all around and houses everywhere,

00:23:46.600 and so therefore plenty of witnesses, and he's firing a rifle.

00:23:51.640 And yet he imagines that he can run, and apparently he's right outside of his own house,

00:23:56.300 and he walks back into the house, and there's a camera right there watching him go. 1.00

00:24:01.200 So this is a very, very stupid person. 1.00

00:24:05.160 And more importantly, he has no conscience. 1.00

00:24:08.420 Like, by sheer luck, it just so happens that he didn't kill anybody.

00:24:13.920 But obviously, you shoot an AR-15 in the middle of the street in a crowded neighborhood,

00:24:18.280 he could easily kill someone.

00:24:19.440 It's shocking that he didn't. 0.99

00:24:21.320 And you could kill anyone.

00:24:22.180 A bullet could go through a window, and you could hit a child sleeping in bed.

00:24:25.740 I mean, so the shooter, Amante Moody, obviously didn't care if he killed anyone.

00:24:34.160 No concern for anyone else.

00:24:35.680 No concern for anyone else's life.

00:24:37.060 Total disregard for human life.

00:24:39.220 And this is the lethal combination that terrorizes all of our major cities. 0.99

00:24:43.980 Very dumb people who are also completely morally indifferent. 0.99

00:24:50.520 In a lot of ways, it's the worst of all worlds. 1.00

00:24:53.500 Okay, at least on a collective level.

00:24:57.580 It's the worst combination collectively.

00:25:01.180 For a community, it's the worst combination. 1.00

00:25:03.660 Very, very stupid, very evil together. 1.00

00:25:07.640 And then you've got lots of people with that combination. 1.00

00:25:10.300 Now, because you might think, well, when you're that indifferent to human life and that evil,

00:25:16.240 I guess it's better. 1.00

00:25:17.300 It's better for everyone else if you're stupid. 1.00

00:25:19.740 You might think that a smart sociopath would be more dangerous. 1.00

00:25:22.280 And a smart sociopath would be more dangerous if you are the specific target. 0.81

00:25:28.300 If there's someone out there who wants to kill you and they're a sociopath, 1.00

00:25:32.420 it would be better for you if they're a very dumb person like this guy rather than a smart one. 0.99

00:25:36.700 But on a collective level, like if I had to choose, if I had to choose, I'd rather live in a neighborhood 1.00

00:25:45.640 with a smart sociopath than a dumb one. 1.00

00:25:50.740 Because dumb ones do stuff like this. 1.00

00:25:53.120 Although I'd really choose, I prefer neither. 1.00

00:25:55.080 That would be my preference.

00:25:55.880 And if there's a sociopath who already essentially has 26 counts of attempted murder, which is what that was.

00:26:02.260 I mean, each bullet you fire into a neighborhood is attempted murder.

00:26:08.480 That's the way it should be charged.

00:26:11.840 And obviously, as someone who does that, shouldn't be in anybody's neighborhood at all anymore.

00:26:16.120 But the judge decided otherwise.

00:26:18.140 Why did the judge decide that?

00:26:20.260 What possible reason could there be?

00:26:23.360 Like, what's the...

00:26:24.940 We know what the risk is if you don't put, you know, remand this guy to custody and keep him in jail.

00:26:30.960 We know what the risk is.

00:26:32.480 The risk is that he'll kill somebody.

00:26:35.780 What's the risk of putting him in jail?

00:26:38.540 Like, what's the compelling opposing interest here that would make the judge say,

00:26:45.140 you know what, it's worth risking the lives of innocent people because of this.

00:26:50.940 What is the this?

00:26:53.300 The judge is knowingly putting the community at risk. 1.00

00:26:57.040 And this is where the stupid factor comes into play again. 1.00

00:27:02.860 Would the shooter, Moody, would he go out into the street and randomly empty another magazine? 1.00

00:27:07.000 Would he commit another flagrant act of potentially lethal violence?

00:27:11.520 Would he do that?

00:27:12.320 I mean, he'd only be adding more prison time.

00:27:14.660 It would be an insane thing for him to do.

00:27:18.000 He couldn't...

00:27:18.680 It would be of no benefit to him whatsoever to go and do anything like this again.

00:27:25.100 So, but would he do it?

00:27:26.420 Yeah, of course he would.

00:27:28.440 Why would he do it?

00:27:29.760 Why would he go out of his way to make everything worse for himself, not to mention for his neighborhood?

00:27:34.260 Well, because he doesn't care about anybody else's life.

00:27:37.760 Including his own. 1.00

00:27:39.620 And he's a moron. 1.00

00:27:40.680 So, so putting him back on the street, it's like throwing a grenade into a house, not knowing if anybody is inside. 1.00

00:27:46.960 It's an act of, it is an act of disregard for human life, just as flagrant as firing the rifle in the street.

00:27:53.500 On a moral level, both the judge, like morally, the judge and this guy are the same.

00:28:02.360 This is the combination we're dealing with.

00:28:04.080 Criminals with no soul and no conscience who don't care about human life. 1.00

00:28:07.460 And those criminals end up in courtrooms with judges who also have no soul and no conscience and don't care about human life. 1.00

00:28:16.760 And they're also morons, by the way. 1.00

00:28:18.460 So, this is, and this is the system that we're dealt, we're dealing with. 0.99

00:28:23.780 Okay, let's travel up north from D.C. to the state of Vermont, where forgivable, quote unquote, forgivable home loans are being offered to certain people.

00:28:34.300 But only if you're, of course, not white. 0.94

00:28:38.640 Listen.

00:28:39.620 Housing Trust is expanding a program to help BIPOC Vermonters become homeowners.

00:28:45.160 It's called the Homeownership Down Payment Program, which provides a $25,000 forgivable loan to buyers who are black, indigenous, or people of color who are buying a permanently affordable home through the Champlain Housing Trust or its partner agencies across the state.

00:29:02.160 Homeowner, homeowner Marnie Avila says without this program, she would never have bought a home.

00:29:10.840 My house in the U.S. is, like, super stressful and also very challenging.

00:29:15.340 And financially, it was just impossible for us.

00:29:18.500 So, they did provide a lot of financial support.

00:29:21.340 We definitely knew that we wanted to stay every month and we wanted to move to Burlington.

00:29:25.560 So, this is our American dream.

00:29:27.600 The expansion was made possible in part through a donation of $1 million given by philanthropist Mackenzie Scott.

00:29:37.100 So, when have we had enough of this is my question.

00:29:40.180 This is obviously illegal.

00:29:42.740 Obviously.

00:29:43.580 Just like the programs we talked about yesterday, New York City granting contracts only to businesses that are owned by minorities.

00:29:49.380 All of these kinds of programs, and they're all over the country, they're in every state, they're everywhere, all of them are blatantly illegal.

00:29:58.780 You cannot exclude people from receiving a loan because of their race.

00:30:02.660 You cannot do that.

00:30:04.580 It's clearly illegal.

00:30:07.340 Obviously.

00:30:08.520 This is as direct and explicit as racial discrimination gets.

00:30:12.780 You are openly saying, here's a loan. 0.84

00:30:16.440 The only people who can't get this loan are whites. 0.91

00:30:20.640 Of course, that's not legal. 0.82

00:30:22.080 You can't do that.

00:30:24.320 Needless to say, any program that tried to give loans only to white people would be shut down and sued out of existence immediately.

00:30:34.140 We all know that.

00:30:34.720 There's no chance.

00:30:35.520 There's no chance it would survive any kind of legal challenge.

00:30:38.820 But this is allowed to happen in large part because the victims of this discrimination aren't suing.

00:30:45.620 None of these racial discrimination programs would hold up in court, even in our court system. 1.00

00:30:50.920 As corrupt and stupid and infected with activist judges as it may be, it still would not hold up. 1.00

00:31:00.720 It can't. 1.00

00:31:01.460 There's just no defense of it.

00:31:02.980 You can't defend it.

00:31:04.100 But the whole thing comes crashing down once the white victims of this racist discrimination start suing.

00:31:09.960 And we are seeing a little bit of that.

00:31:11.320 We're starting to see here and there the victims of this discrimination sue.

00:31:16.000 And guess what?

00:31:16.440 When they sue, they win.

00:31:18.400 Because, of course, they win.

00:31:19.780 This is obvious racial discrimination.

00:31:21.560 You can't do it.

00:31:22.860 But it's not happening nearly enough.

00:31:25.540 Like, someone needs to step up to the plate on these kinds of things.

00:31:29.840 I can't sue for this.

00:31:31.000 I don't live in Vermont.

00:31:31.780 I wouldn't count as a victim of this discrimination.

00:31:37.060 So the victims need to speak up for themselves.

00:31:40.520 And the problem is that, like, why aren't there lawsuits all over?

00:31:46.860 Why aren't there thousands of lawsuits over this?

00:31:51.560 Given how easy it is to win, I mean, you'd think there's all the incentive in the world to sue over this kind of thing.

00:31:59.140 You're definitely going to win.

00:32:01.800 You stand to win some money off of it also.

00:32:06.720 Maybe not that much or maybe a lot, depending on the situation.

00:32:10.000 But it's all the incentive in the world to sue.

00:32:13.600 It's not happening that often.

00:32:15.220 Why is that?

00:32:15.880 And I think it's that white people in this country have been so brainwashed and so beaten down by years and years of anti-white discrimination.

00:32:26.200 The guilt is so deeply embedded into their psyches that many of them honestly believe that they deserve to be discriminated against.

00:32:33.980 Because, again, everyone knows it's discrimination.

00:32:38.240 Everyone knows it's racial discrimination.

00:32:39.700 It's unconstitutional.

00:32:40.600 It's illegal.

00:32:41.860 It's not even close to legal to do this.

00:32:44.260 You cannot do this.

00:32:45.440 But, and everyone knows that.

00:32:48.260 Everyone involved knows it.

00:32:49.660 Everyone in the country knows it.

00:32:50.760 We all know it.

00:32:51.360 This is like we're all walking around.

00:32:52.780 And this is one of the many fictions that we all just sort of walk around with and many people tolerate, even though we all know that it's total nonsense.

00:33:03.120 But the people who are proponents of this kind of discrimination, they will say, especially the non-white proponents, their argument basically is, well, yeah, it's discrimination, but you deserve it. 0.99

00:33:18.380 You deserve it.

00:33:19.240 It's what you get.

00:33:20.320 You have it coming.

00:33:23.460 Now, needless to say, that argument, that's not a legal argument.

00:33:27.320 That doesn't hold up in court.

00:33:28.680 That's not a constitutional argument.

00:33:30.400 Okay?

00:33:31.180 There's nothing in the law.

00:33:32.680 There's nothing in the Constitution that says, well, racial discrimination is not allowed unless they deserve it, unless they have it coming. 1.00

00:33:41.920 You know, unless you have a blood feud with this group of people, unless you feel that your ancestors have been wronged by them, in which case it's totally fine.

00:33:51.060 Well, you know, of course, that carve out is not there legally, because if it was, then that's just another way of saying that racial discrimination is actually okay.

00:33:59.480 Because guess what?

00:34:00.420 All racial discrimination, or most of it historically, has been justified on those grounds, basically.

00:34:09.920 That's all racial discrimination that has existed everywhere in the world, including in this country historically, is always justified that way. 0.98

00:34:16.860 By saying, well, you know, normally I wouldn't do this to somebody, but these people deserve it.

00:34:23.700 So you've got the non-white proponents, whose argument is that they deserve it. 1.00

00:34:28.420 And then you've got all the white people who go along with it, because they have come to believe that.

00:34:39.640 They have come to believe that, oh, that they actually do deserve it.

00:34:44.320 You know, I think we kind of assume that white people put up with this because they're afraid of speaking out.

00:34:48.540 They're afraid of filing the lawsuits.

00:34:50.100 They're afraid of being labeled racist.

00:34:51.540 And, you know, that's part of it.

00:34:54.100 That is a factor, I'm sure.

00:34:55.640 But the far more disturbing fact is that many white people endure the discrimination because they honestly believe that they deserve it.

00:35:04.340 The anti-white propaganda has metastasized in their minds, and they now have a terminal case of white guilt.

00:35:11.660 And they don't speak up against it, and they tolerate it because they think, well, I deserve this. 0.58

00:35:16.560 I'm white.

00:35:17.180 I have it coming.

00:35:18.160 And it's what they think, especially in a state like Vermont.

00:35:22.760 It's like every white person there, it's no surprise that in Vermont no one is suing.

00:35:28.040 Because all the white people there are, so, well, of course. 0.95

00:35:30.900 I'm white. 0.99

00:35:31.620 I'm evil. 0.99

00:35:32.880 Of course I deserve this. 0.97

00:35:35.960 That is how just deeply embedded the anti-white propaganda and discrimination is in our society.

00:35:45.560 Okay, we just talked about the Princeton hunger strikers yesterday, and I really hadn't planned on giving these people any more attention.

00:35:54.340 But this, I can't, I can't not play this clip.

00:36:01.580 I can't not.

00:36:02.800 I can't not, not, not play it.

00:36:05.780 So, here it is.

00:36:08.060 Watch.

00:36:09.420 Free, free, free Palestine. 0.98

00:36:12.020 Free, free, free Palestine. 0.98

00:36:14.660 This is absolutely unfair.

00:36:19.820 My peers and I, we are starving.

00:36:22.920 We are physically exhausted.

00:36:24.980 I am quite literally shaking right now, as you can see.

00:36:28.620 We are both cold and hot at the same time.

00:36:31.680 We are all immunocompromised.

00:36:34.640 And based on the university's meeting yesterday with some of our bargaining team,

00:36:39.040 they would love to continue physically weakening us because they can't stand to say no to unjust murder.

00:36:45.760 Cheers!

00:36:46.080 I will say, I truly do not feel like I am doing anything special.

00:36:57.480 This is my choice, and I would not spend my birthday doing anything other than being here

00:37:03.040 and standing in solidarity with you all and standing in solidarity with our siblings

00:37:07.900 and innocent people in Gaza.

00:37:10.200 Woo! 0.99

00:37:10.980 Woo! 0.99

00:37:11.140 Woo! 0.99

00:37:11.640 Woo! 0.99

00:37:12.140 Woo! 0.99

00:37:12.640 Woo! 0.99

00:37:13.140 Woo! 0.99

00:37:14.140 Woo! 0.99

00:37:14.640 Woo! 0.99

00:37:15.140 Woo! 0.99

00:37:15.640 Woo! 0.99

00:37:16.060 No matter how physically weak we may be, united, we have never been stronger.

00:37:25.940 Our resolve has never been stronger.

00:37:27.860 Woo! 0.99

00:37:34.060 Uh, this is absolutely unfair. 0.95

00:37:37.980 I am being punched, I'm being punched in the head right now.

00:37:42.180 I have a, I have a headache.

00:37:43.980 My, my, my head is throbbing.

00:37:46.060 This is, this is, this is, this is absolute, what is happening, my, the fist that is attached

00:37:50.920 to my own arm, which is attached to my body, is slamming into my head, and this is unfair.

00:37:55.680 It is completely unfair, it is completely unfair, I blame everyone but myself for this, it's basically what they're doing.

00:38:01.540 Uh, it is unfair.

00:38:03.600 They are refusing to eat, and therefore they are hungry.

00:38:06.440 Um, it is unfair that they should have to endure the inevitable physical consequences of the thing that they are intentionally doing to themselves.

00:38:17.840 When actually, you know, when actually, you know, when actually, you know, of course, that, not only is that not unfair, it's actually the most fair thing in the world.

00:38:26.900 The most, the most, the most fair thing I've ever heard of is that someone goes on a hunger strike and now they're hungry.

00:38:33.400 I can't think of anything more fair than that.

00:38:35.520 That's, you have done a thing and then the, the, the, it's a result that is so obvious that it's in the name of the thing you're doing.

00:38:45.760 It's called a hunger strike, and so you're hungry.

00:38:50.180 This is unfair, I've gone on a hunger strike, and now I'm hungry.

00:38:57.040 What, what, it's, the level of entitlement is so psychotic at this point that it's hard to even understand what they're saying.

00:39:09.660 Like, what do you want, what do you want anyone to do about it?

00:39:13.600 Eat, eat some food.

00:39:15.260 No one eats the food all around you, eats.

00:39:19.760 What do you want us to do?

00:39:21.040 Do you want the university to tackle you to the ground and force feed you?

00:39:25.520 Is that what you, do you want that? 0.95

00:39:31.340 You want them to, like, shoot you with tranquilizer darts? 0.96

00:39:36.140 And just put you on a feeding tube while you're unconscious?

00:39:38.860 I mean, what, what do you want them to do?

00:39:40.240 Where we've got, we've reached a point of entitlement.

00:39:47.500 It's like, there needs to be a, and I don't like medicalizing everything, as you know, medicalizing the human condition.

00:39:55.500 I'm, I'm against it.

00:39:56.500 But you can make an argument for having something, and maybe we could call it entitlement psychosis or something like that.

00:40:06.680 Because it is, it's a real psychological phenomenon, and it's very, it's very new.

00:40:11.620 It's a new phenomenon where people have such a sense of entitlement that it has actually driven them insane.

00:40:17.480 We have people who are so self-entitled that they have, they have been driven to the point of, of madness.

00:40:25.840 You know, this is what happens when adults come to honestly believe that nothing is ever their fault.

00:40:34.120 Nothing is their responsibility.

00:40:36.040 They are accountable for nothing.

00:40:38.200 They are responsible for nothing.

00:40:39.760 And they deserve whatever they want, whenever they want it, all the time.

00:40:44.060 Now, when you, when you believe that, when you've been raised to believe that, it actually, I think it, it causes almost a form of psychosis.

00:40:57.520 And we cannot have a functioning society with millions of adults with this mentality.

00:41:03.080 And I know we all, for years now, we have all liked to tell ourselves.

00:41:08.240 We have come up with this wonderful, reassuring fiction, this, this, this fairy tale story that these sorts of people, you know, they're in college and they're, they're, they're very entitled. 0.70

00:41:23.280 They're entitled little brats. 0.97

00:41:24.420 But, oh, you know what? 0.80

00:41:26.000 When they get out into the real world, everything's going to change.

00:41:29.000 They get out into the real world, the real world's going to straighten them out real quick.

00:41:32.900 They're going to understand.

00:41:33.680 They're going to, they're going to learn some things out in the real world.

00:41:39.500 We like to tell ourselves that.

00:41:42.300 But as we kind of whistle, whistle past the graveyard of our civilization.

00:41:47.600 But it's not true, unfortunately.

00:41:50.900 Because while, while we have been insisting that for years, that all of these entitled college kids will get out into the real world.

00:41:56.200 No, actually not, because the real world is increasingly run by these kinds of people.

00:42:06.680 This is one of the problems.

00:42:08.000 We have whole generations of people that are like this.

00:42:10.960 Well, they take over, they take over the world eventually.

00:42:13.660 And so the world, so it's, it's, we're living in a, in a reality that is, that is, well, reality itself is not defined or governed by these people.

00:42:26.420 But, you know, we live in a system that is defined and governed by these kinds of people.

00:42:31.460 And so what does that mean?

00:42:34.940 It means that like that girl right there, and we can, we can all hope, we can hope that she'll get out into the quote unquote real world and become a functioning member of society.

00:42:44.180 But probably not.

00:42:47.100 Because we have a system that caters to these people.

00:42:49.000 We have a system that, that says like, look, if you're a self-entitled brat and you want to go around stomping your feet and having temper tantrums and believing that the world owes you everything.

00:43:01.840 We have a system that says, okay, yeah, we, we want you to be that way.

00:43:05.740 So we'll do everything we can to keep you like that.

00:43:08.080 Because the people who are really running the system, they, you know, they, they, they may not feel, you know, they may not share that delusion, but they want, they're quite happy to have millions of people who operate that way.

00:43:24.200 Because those sorts of people are easy to control and easy to manipulate.

00:43:29.260 Let's get to the comment section.

00:43:30.680 If you're a man, it's required that you grow a bit, hey, with a sweet baby game.

00:43:38.080 When I put my robe on for my show, Judge by Matt Walsh, it's not just an official garment.

00:43:44.680 It represents my authority as judge of one of the highest courts in history.

00:43:48.560 It signifies a jurisprudence that will be studied by legal scholars for centuries.

00:43:53.440 Now, you can't wear the robe, but you can wear the merchandise.

00:43:56.640 Judge by Matt Walsh merch is now available at the Daily Wire shop.

00:43:59.640 Get the Judge by Matt Walsh t-shirt and mug.

00:44:02.340 Just imagine how much more justified you will feel being judgmental in a Judge shirt and sipping from a Judge mug.

00:44:08.660 With this merch, I guarantee you'll feel just as good as I do, or maybe almost as good when I wear the robe.

00:44:13.980 Unfortunately, your judgments won't be nearly as important, but still, get judged by Matt Walsh merch at dailywire.com slash shop today.

00:44:22.460 So, I told you this week about my new favorite show, which is the Australian version of the survival competition, Alone.

00:44:29.520 And they call it Alone Australia, but it's really Alone DEI.

00:44:32.840 As I explained, an unintentionally hilarious show.

00:44:35.880 And here are some comments related to that.

00:44:38.900 Simon says, being a survival enthusiast, I started the application process for this show.

00:44:43.120 But as soon as I realized that they were promoting DEI, the contestants, I didn't proceed.

00:44:47.140 There were more questions about sexuality and gender identity than there were about outdoor skills.

00:44:53.180 Well, that explains a lot.

00:44:54.620 I am not surprised to hear that.

00:44:56.260 It comes through in the show very much.

00:45:01.060 Another comment says, LOL, everything in Australia starts with a land acknowledgement.

00:45:05.520 Honey, I'm home.

00:45:06.300 This home was built on stolen land over 200 years ago from its true indigenous owners, whom I now acknowledge and thank and kowtow to.

00:45:12.960 What's for dinner?

00:45:14.360 Yeah, I've heard this.

00:45:15.680 I mentioned this show, Alone Australia, each episode starts with a land acknowledgement.

00:45:20.320 Like, they didn't even just do it in the season premiere and leave it at that. 0.95

00:45:25.100 Even that would be stupid, obviously.

00:45:26.700 But every single episode that starts with a land acknowledgement, 0.86

00:45:29.560 not to mention the contestants themselves, like, very often thanking the land and thanking the people who, you know, protected the land and lived.

00:45:42.680 Like, the contestants themselves are constantly droning on about that.

00:45:46.760 And I have heard this now from many people that land acknowledgements in Australia are extremely common, apparently.

00:45:54.400 You know, even here, in the United States, you run into the land acknowledgement thing.

00:45:58.520 I mean, it's still relatively rare.

00:46:02.220 Yet, you know, you have to be in, like, a really liberal area and engaged in, you know, some sort of event or something that's very liberal.

00:46:09.900 And that's where you'll encounter the land acknowledgement.

00:46:12.160 But in other places, Australia and Canada being probably the two primary culprits, like, it's just all over.

00:46:21.640 It's constant.

00:46:22.320 It's constant reminder that you are on stolen land and that you stole the land from indigenous people, which is not true.

00:46:32.180 It's not true, but that's the indoctrination.

00:46:38.020 I'm an Aussie, and you nailed it, Matt.

00:46:39.640 It's a woke, feminist, man-hating country. 1.00

00:46:41.820 The natural beauty is still here, but our society is in the grip of the madness you identified.

00:46:46.880 I can see that now, and it's very sad.

00:46:48.600 When I was talking about the impression I used to have of Australia, one thing I didn't mention is that also came from, well, it came from, like, watching Steve Irwin and that sort of thing.

00:47:02.040 But also, there's a book called In a Sunburned Country by Bill Bryson, and it was published probably, I don't know, 25 years ago.

00:47:10.980 And it's kind of a travel memoir about his time in Australia.

00:47:14.080 It's a great book.

00:47:14.680 It's very funny.

00:47:16.340 One of my favorite books, actually, that I've read in the last, I don't know, past five years or so.

00:47:20.200 And that book contributed to my impression of Australia as a rugged place with rugged and sort of eccentric people who, you know, the kinds of people you think, like, who else would live in a place like this?

00:47:33.380 Where you've got giant spiders and snakes and all this, like, everything wants to kill you all the time.

00:47:39.620 The kind of people that live there, you expect them to be a certain way, and that's how it came across in the book.

00:47:43.740 I liked to believe that Australia was that kind of place.

00:47:50.920 I preferred that it turned out to be a fantasy.

00:47:55.940 I liked to think that there was some place on Earth like that, and it turns out that it doesn't exist, and I find that quite sad.

00:48:02.520 Why has it changed, though, is the question.

00:48:04.220 Here's some comments that offered theories on that.

00:48:07.940 Australia is highly urbanized.

00:48:09.240 If you look at it now, it's one giant desert almost the size of the U.S., but with 1 15th to 1 20th of the population of the U.S.,

00:48:16.460 then you could actually come to the polar opposite conclusion that the only reason the population isn't way bigger

00:48:20.700 is because everyone is hugging the safe, temperate coastal areas, and no one actually is rugged enough to settle the rest of the country.

00:48:28.380 Another comment sort of agrees.

00:48:29.560 There's a reason why Australia, New Zealand, and Canada are suffering from the same woke affliction.

00:48:33.460 These countries all have small populations that are highly concentrated around a handful of dense metro areas.

00:48:39.800 This makes it much easier for a tiny elite to capture major institutions and crowd out other places than in a country like the United States.

00:48:48.860 This is an interesting theory.

00:48:50.480 Like, it kind of, you sort of wonder that. 0.97

00:48:53.080 It's like, why is it all the most beautiful places are overrun now by these leftist lunatics? 0.95

00:48:59.380 Australia, New Zealand, Canada mentioned. 0.96

00:49:04.140 But even within the United States, you find that.

00:49:07.100 Like, California, Oregon.

00:49:10.880 We just talked about Vermont.

00:49:12.100 Vermont is a beautiful state.

00:49:13.460 I mean, it's beautiful.

00:49:15.160 It's gorgeous.

00:49:16.580 The whole, all of New England.

00:49:20.160 Beautiful area.

00:49:22.960 But also very liberal.

00:49:24.340 And why is that?

00:49:25.320 Maybe it's, we're starting to come to a theory here about how it turns out that way.

00:49:33.460 And finally, Australian here.

00:49:37.200 The answer to your conundrum is that we have a prisoner's mindset.

00:49:40.460 We know nothing about freedom because we have never fought for it and therefore don't know what it is.

00:49:44.640 We are subjects of our government.

00:49:46.620 And the tough guy reputation we have is just a holdover from previous generations that actually had to rough it in the harsh environment.

00:49:52.480 But now almost all of us are pampered weaklings with nary a spine between us.

00:49:58.040 We have no independence, no autonomy, no working spirit, let alone a fighting spirit.

00:50:01.740 We welcomed our COVID overlords with open arms because we were all too afraid and unable to even conceptualize the self-reliance that made our forefathers hard.

00:50:11.460 RIP Australia.

00:50:12.560 Well, tough assessment.

00:50:18.120 Pretty sad.

00:50:19.600 Wish I had some positive spin to put at the end of this, but I really have nothing.

00:50:23.840 It's just a sad situation.

00:50:25.760 Ladies and gentlemen, the anticipation is finally over.

00:50:30.120 The moment we have all been waiting for is almost upon us.

00:50:33.900 This Sunday, exclusively on Daily Wire Plus, my new show with Adam Carolla, Mr. Burcham, will make its grand premiere.

00:50:43.820 In this show, I have the pleasure of playing Burcham's wife, Wendy.

00:50:47.520 It feels pretty great doing something for the community, right?

00:50:50.160 Now let me give you a sneak peek into Wendy's character. 1.00

00:50:53.660 Wendy is a force to be reckoned with. 0.80

00:50:55.520 She's a top-tier real estate agent, a super mom, and a bit more a left-leaning than I am.

00:51:01.240 But believe me, it's a necessary balance to Burcham's old-fashioned caveman approach.

00:51:07.040 Check out the trailer for our new series, Mr. Burcham.

00:51:11.520 Yes! Headshot!

00:51:14.400 Uh, Dad, my teammates can see your junk? 0.99

00:51:17.480 You're welcome, ladies. 0.97

00:51:23.080 First day of school means the bet is on. 0.99

00:51:25.320 First one of us to get and suck. 1.00

00:51:26.880 You suck, Mr. Butt Chunk! 1.00

00:51:28.680 Ah, still got it.

00:51:31.140 Rule number one, no phones in the wood shop.

00:51:34.260 Pitch it out after class.

00:51:36.240 I found some really great school uniform options to avoid misgendering.

00:51:40.480 Ooh, what about their allergies?

00:51:42.660 Maybe those theys could be lactose intolerant. 0.73

00:51:45.500 No, we can't say intolerance.

00:51:47.480 We have a zero-tolerance policy for mentioning intolerance.

00:51:51.160 When I was a kid, men were men.

00:51:53.340 Now everyone's wrapped up in feelings.

00:51:56.880 Real men stuff feelings down with red meat, cigarettes, and violence. 0.99

00:52:01.840 My name is Mr. Wolf.

00:52:03.080 I solve problems.

00:52:04.020 You know what it takes? 0.65

00:52:05.320 Balls! 1.00

00:52:06.480 Eyeballs! 0.98

00:52:07.040 He's gonna say that.

00:52:08.100 We're too young. 0.98

00:52:09.080 Well, actually, I was gonna say you're too fat. 1.00

00:52:10.960 Keep my wife's name out of your damn mouth. 1.00

00:52:18.340 You and the geriatric Girl Scouts will be passed out in an hour! 1.00

00:52:22.840 Pass Mommy the wine. 1.00

00:52:24.560 The bottle.

00:52:25.420 Don't make this a prison, all you...

00:52:26.840 Richard...

00:52:27.420 Bircham!

00:52:28.320 Bircham!

00:52:28.920 Bircham!

00:52:29.460 Mr. Bircham!

00:52:30.260 Hey, Bircham!

00:52:31.140 Bircham!

00:52:32.360 Bircham!

00:52:33.200 Bircham!

00:52:34.640 Watch Mr. Bircham, an all-new animated series from Daily Wire Plus. 0.99

00:52:39.420 Let the record show him a dick. 0.98

00:52:41.980 Premieres May 12th. 0.98

00:52:44.960 Watch the series premiere of Mr. Bircham for free, only on Daily Wire Plus.

00:52:51.220 Mark your calendars for this Sunday night, May 12th.

00:52:54.260 You're gonna love it.

00:52:54.960 This week, a band called TX2, though it may be pronounced T times two, I'm not really sure

00:53:06.620 and don't care enough to check, but anyway, they proudly posted to Twitter a clip from

00:53:10.920 a recent song of theirs.

00:53:12.420 It's a song meant to attack, among other people, the Republican governor of Tennessee, and they

00:53:18.760 wrote in the caption, quote, this is what punk is about.

00:53:22.120 A year ago, we wrote a song and named it after a governor in Tennessee who was trying to pass

00:53:26.620 laws banning drag shows slash affecting gender-affirming care.

00:53:30.560 We called out several governors by name to spread awareness.

00:53:33.540 Hashtag punk, hashtag punk rock, hashtag LGBT, hashtag LGBTQ, hashtag drag, hashtag drag queen,

00:53:40.420 hashtag drag shows, hashtag rock.

00:53:43.040 Now, you might expect, based on the flagrant overuse of hashtags, that this band is comprised

00:53:47.780 of 64-year-old boomers, turns out that they aren't that old, although they aren't really

00:53:52.080 all that young either.

00:53:53.540 Before we listen to this clip, let's also take a moment to admire their courage in calling

00:53:59.380 out several governors by name.

00:54:02.260 I mean, it's one thing to call out governors vaguely and generally, but by name?

00:54:06.100 You said the names of Republican governors?

00:54:09.220 Now, that is brave.

00:54:10.740 That's bold.

00:54:11.340 That is hashtag courageous, hashtag punk rock, hashtag rock and roll.

00:54:16.500 I mean, it's a pretty dangerous game to call out Republican governors by name, after all.

00:54:21.260 I think that's like going after the mob.

00:54:23.560 The only difference is that Republicans won't have you beat up or have your family killed

00:54:27.800 or cause you any harm of any kind at all.

00:54:32.040 Not that this song will be worth a response anyway from the governor of Tennessee or anyone

00:54:35.220 else.

00:54:35.600 I'm only going to play the clip because it will be enjoyable to make fun of, and also

00:54:38.940 there is an underlying point to make, but here it is.

00:54:43.800 Watch. 0.99

00:54:43.920 Put a bullet in a kid's head, think they got a sickness, and they're not dressed up straight. 0.99

00:54:50.360 But what happens in the closet doesn't matter if you profit from the flag of the USA. 1.00

00:54:56.200 You're too f***ing old, you do as you're told, you paste your life off your nation's 1.00

00:55:01.420 scroll. 1.00

00:55:02.960 Out there burning weight shades, filling up the dick shades, tell me can I still be saved? 0.92

00:55:09.380 So there it is. 0.58

00:55:10.300 That's what punk rock is about, we're told.

00:55:12.540 It's about that.

00:55:15.400 A middle-aged man in a dress reciting milquetoast liberal talking points harvested from a YouTube

00:55:20.520 comment section in a song that sounds like Walmart brand My Chemical Romance circa 2003.

00:55:26.940 That's punk rock.

00:55:28.000 Which is to say, punk rock is dead, if that's what it is.

00:55:31.440 Now that song, by the way, is called No Love Like Christian Hate.

00:55:34.480 And I'll tell you the name of it just in case you happen to have a, I don't know, a terrorist

00:55:38.260 imprisoned in your garage and you need to torture him to find out where he planted a bomb before 0.95

00:55:42.500 it detonates and kills 10,000 people. 0.94

00:55:45.420 That would be the only imaginable circumstance where anybody would want to play that song

00:55:49.120 on purpose.

00:55:50.380 And we don't need to harp on this fact.

00:55:52.140 I mean, obviously it's a terrible song.

00:55:53.480 It's the kind of thing that makes you envy the death, the death.

00:55:56.060 It makes you long for the life of maybe the naked mole rat, which lives underground and

00:56:01.340 can neither see nor hear, yet manages to navigate somehow.

00:56:05.240 I'm not really sure how.

00:56:05.980 It's a discussion for a different day.

00:56:07.520 But putting aside the general badness of the song, the more salient point is how it reveals

00:56:12.800 the difficulty faced by liberal punk bands and by liberals in general.

00:56:18.260 They want to fashion themselves as rebels, as mischievous troublemakers, as those who rage

00:56:23.520 against the machine, but the problem is that they agree with the machine on nearly every

00:56:28.020 point.

00:56:28.940 I mean, they are the machine, at least an appendage of it.

00:56:32.000 So here's a general rule of thumb.

00:56:34.340 You are not a rebel or punk rock if you are saying things that would be happily affirmed by

00:56:39.960 every Fortune 500 company, along with academia, the corporate media, and the entire federal

00:56:45.180 government.

00:56:46.360 Like, you could take the lyrics from the clip that I just played and with maybe only superficial

00:56:50.660 changes, drop them right into a sensitivity training session conducted by the HR department

00:56:57.320 at the corporate headquarters of Procter & Gamble.

00:57:00.660 Indeed, there is nothing in that song that the head of HR at Procter & Gamble would object

00:57:04.860 to.

00:57:05.900 In fact, I wouldn't be entirely surprised if some HR department somewhere in corporate

00:57:09.140 America has already incorporated this exact song into one of their workshops.

00:57:14.000 That would not surprise me at all.

00:57:14.880 Now, there is no real way around this problem if you're on the left.

00:57:20.760 I mean, this is the burden of wearing the crown.

00:57:24.360 You won the culture, or your parents did, rather.

00:57:27.640 And now everything you believe is exactly what is professed by the most powerful people in

00:57:32.520 the country.

00:57:34.400 Like, face it.

00:57:35.220 That's just, that's how it is.

00:57:36.480 You can count the FBI as your ideological allies.

00:57:40.180 You have the politics of a generic bureaucrat.

00:57:44.420 Your whole ideological program could be found laid out in print inside a pamphlet in a middle

00:57:50.960 school guidance counselor's office.

00:57:53.600 And that's how thoroughly you have, your ideology dominates the system.

00:57:59.620 And this is nothing to lament exactly.

00:58:01.840 It means you have power.

00:58:03.920 It means you are the victors.

00:58:05.800 But it also means that you aren't cool.

00:58:09.780 And you certainly aren't punk rock.

00:58:12.020 You are the ones defending the machine, not raging against it.

00:58:16.280 You aren't trying to take down the system.

00:58:18.220 You want to strengthen the system and fortify it.

00:58:21.600 And this is why conservatism really is the new punk rock, as Paul Joseph Watson has observed.

00:58:26.640 Now, when I say that, that doesn't mean that conservatives have been especially good at

00:58:33.300 harnessing this rebellious energy and using it to their advantage.

00:58:37.320 Conservatives in general aren't very good at punk rock.

00:58:41.060 And I mean that in a general sense, not just that they aren't good at making that kind of

00:58:43.960 music, though they probably aren't.

00:58:45.640 I mean that conservatives, broadly speaking, tend to be somewhat clumsy and awkward in their

00:58:50.820 roles as cultural rebels.

00:58:52.500 And, you know, some of that difficulty is understandable.

00:58:56.920 Conservatism is, well, conservative.

00:59:00.660 You know, liberals can't stop pretending to be rebels, even though they own the system.

00:59:04.500 And conservatives can't stop operating as though they own the system, even though the

00:59:08.760 system hates them.

00:59:10.100 So this role reversal has been difficult for everybody involved, I guess we could say.

00:59:17.040 Be that as it may, you aren't going to hear any right-wing talking points from the

00:59:21.600 HR department or any other department at any Fortune 500 company.

00:59:26.680 It's not going to happen.

00:59:28.480 There is no such thing as Procter & Gamble conservatism, though there is Procter & Gamble

00:59:33.580 republicanism.

00:59:34.680 That's only because liberals have won so thoroughly that their opposition party is a variation of

00:59:40.660 themselves.

00:59:42.480 Conservative principles, however, are outside the mainstream.

00:59:45.360 They do challenge the system.

00:59:46.640 You're not going to offend the system by cross-dressing and criticizing the Bible.

00:59:52.000 You will offend it by professing belief in the Bible and in the so-called traditional gender 0.98

00:59:57.300 roles that it affirms.

00:59:59.760 Now, whether you can make a good punk rock song about that subject is a different question.

01:00:03.940 Nobody really has successfully done it yet, but you certainly can't make a good one while

01:00:07.440 delivering a lecture that would make Nancy Pelosi proud.

01:00:09.800 And that's why the would-be punk rock band, whose name I've already forgotten, is today

01:00:15.280 canceled.

01:00:17.220 That'll do it for the show today.

01:00:17.920 Thanks for watching.

01:00:18.420 Thanks for listening.

01:00:18.880 Talk to you tomorrow.

01:00:19.680 Have a great day.
