00:00:00.080 Today on the Matt Walsh Show, a viral video shows a female quote-unquote pastor explaining why God wants us to kill babies.
00:00:06.540 This is the kind of satanic heresy that's infiltrated many churches across the Western world.
00:00:10.320 Also, the Covenant School Shooter's full journal has finally been released,
00:00:13.720 and now it's very obvious why the authorities didn't want us to see it.
00:00:16.460 Plus, the latest viral TikTok trend is actually just check fraud.
00:00:20.760 We'll talk about all that and more today on the Matt Walsh Show.
00:00:30.000 In just nine days, Am I Racist, our first-ever theatrical release, hits theaters nationwide.
00:00:53.120 Coming up later in the show, I've got an exclusive sneak peek to share with you.
00:00:56.220 But right now, head on over to miracist.com for tickets and showtimes near you.
00:01:02.960 There's a book by Taylor Marshall called Infiltration, the Plot to Destroy the Church from Within.
00:01:08.020 The basic idea of the book is that the enemies of the Catholic Church spent several millennia
00:01:12.560 trying to destroy the church from the outside before they settled on a much more effective plan, infiltration.
00:01:18.140 They would try to work their way into the church and subvert its mission from inside.
00:01:23.620 And we've seen this happening in front of our eyes, not just in the church, but in many other Catholic institutions.
00:01:29.040 The signs are everywhere.
00:01:30.060 If you walk onto the campus of pretty much any allegedly Catholic university today, for example,
00:01:36.060 what you'll find is unrecognizable from just a few decades ago.
00:01:40.300 Here's a report from the Catholic News Agency from just last year.
00:01:43.060 In the wake of the Dobbs Supreme Court decision overturning the pro-abortion rights Roe v. Wade ruling,
00:01:49.480 several bodies at the University of Notre Dame are hosting an event series dedicated to reproductive justice.
00:01:55.760 The series has attracted criticism for its decidedly pro-abortion slant.
00:01:59.760 An abortion doula with a tattoo of abortion equipment is one of the speakers at its next event.
00:02:05.080 The article notes that the series was sponsored by the University of Notre Dame's Gender Studies Program,
00:02:10.940 which apparently exists for some reason.
00:02:13.440 And evidently the Catholic perspective on abortion, actual Catholic teaching on the subject, that is,
00:02:19.240 was not even presented at these events.
00:02:21.480 They didn't even try to grapple with it, even though that's supposedly university policy.
00:02:25.940 Catholic teaching is supposed to be the fundamental guiding principle of a Catholic university, obviously.
00:02:31.120 Pretty much all the major Catholic universities are like this now,
00:02:35.520 from Georgetown to Villanova to everything in between.
00:02:38.740 There's been a lot of coverage of what's happened at these schools,
00:02:42.060 so there's no need to belabor the point.
00:02:44.500 What hasn't been covered to anywhere near the same degree
00:02:46.660 is the extent to which left-wing radicalism has infiltrated Christian churches of all types
00:02:53.380 all over the country more broadly.
00:02:55.760 So this is a clip from a year ago that's just starting to get attention now.
00:03:00.080 It's from someone claiming to be a pastor at something called the Church of Reconciliation,
00:03:05.740 part of the Presbyterian Church USA, named Rebecca Todd Peters.
00:03:09.920 She's also a professor of religious studies at Elon University in North Carolina.
00:03:14.240 And once again, as she's speaking, the topic of abortion doulas comes up.
00:03:19.700 Watch.
00:03:19.980 If Jesus were here today, he would be a clinic escort distracting women from the hatred of the protesters
00:03:30.360 or an abortion doula holding women's hands and offering support and love as they end their pregnancies.
00:03:38.640 And I expect he would have a stern word for self-righteous legislators who use abortion as a political issue
00:03:47.220 rather than showing compassion for the people seeking abortions.
00:03:51.880 Today, on this Rose Sunday, I wanted to share some of the stories we have collected
00:03:58.840 because these are the sacred stories of women's lives.
00:04:05.780 If Jesus were giving his sermon today, he might also have said,
00:04:11.980 Blessed are those who end pregnancies, for they will be known for their loving kindness.
00:04:19.860 I have been pregnant four times.
00:04:24.500 I have had two abortions, and I have two amazing children.
00:04:29.100 Each of my reproductive decisions, to have children and not to have children, were sacred decisions
00:04:37.340 because they reflect the moral responsibility of reproductive power that is part of our inheritance as human creatures.
00:04:46.020 Each of you has a reproductive story.
00:04:51.100 And given that one quarter of American women will have an abortion by the age of 45,
00:04:56.020 I imagine some of your reproductive journeys also include abortion.
00:05:03.040 Blessed are those who end pregnancies, for they will be known for their loving kindness.
00:05:11.640 Reimagining our theological understanding of abortion is essential to addressing the violence
00:05:19.820 that is being done to people across the country in the name of Christianity.
00:05:25.320 In the face of the rampant reproductive injustice in our society,
00:05:31.240 what does God require of us?
00:05:36.880 Amen.
00:05:37.500 Now, on one level, it's no surprise to hear abject heresy from a female pastor.
00:05:44.120 The existence of female pastors is already a heresy.
00:05:48.020 Scripture is very clear on that point.
00:05:50.880 St. Paul stated it explicitly throughout his letters, and he wasn't exactly gentle or subtle about it.
00:05:56.380 In 1 Corinthians chapter 14, he tells women to keep silent, quote unquote, in the church.
00:06:02.280 And this is a theme that he returns to in other letters, which means that a church with a female pastor
00:06:07.340 must, at the outset, eject St. Paul from the biblical canon entirely.
00:06:12.620 You cannot keep both Paul and your female pastor.
00:06:16.580 And that is to say you cannot keep the Bible, because once you start stripping the parts out of it
00:06:21.380 that you don't like, what you're left with at the end of that process is not the Bible.
00:06:25.560 It's some butchered husk of what was once the Bible.
00:06:27.920 It is the gospel according to you.
00:06:29.680 It is a religion that you have invented for yourself.
00:06:33.480 Now, we should note, by the way, that St. Paul is not the only reference point on this issue.
00:06:37.980 Jesus Christ himself chose 12 apostles.
00:06:40.280 They were all men.
00:06:41.880 Jesus did not abide by the tenets of diversity, equity, and inclusion when selecting apostles,
00:06:48.300 or when doing anything else.
00:06:50.300 He selected only men.
00:06:51.900 So, if Rebecca Todd Peters was around in the year, you know, 30 AD or thereabouts,
00:06:58.760 I suppose she would have gone straight up to Jesus and given him a stern lecture about the importance of inclusion
00:07:03.040 and the need for greater female representation.
00:07:06.080 Then, perhaps, she would have tried to convince him that anyone who harms a child
00:07:09.960 actually shouldn't have a millstone tied around their neck and be thrown into the sea,
00:07:13.860 as Jesus clearly says in Matthew 18,
00:07:15.500 but should instead be celebrated as a feminist hero and awarded $500 million in taxpayer funding.
00:07:23.140 That's obviously the position that Rebecca Todd Peters holds on this subject.
00:07:26.720 As we just heard, after claiming that Jesus would have shepherded women to abortion clinics,
00:07:32.480 Todd goes on to say that she's had two abortions herself.
00:07:36.240 She says she personally works as an escort at abortion clinics every month or so.
00:07:41.540 And the escorts are the people that escort, as the name suggests,
00:07:46.860 they bring the women, basically bring them from their cars into the abortion clinic.
00:07:51.660 And you might ask, well, why do you need an escort?
00:07:53.340 Why do you need someone to do that?
00:07:55.040 And the answer is that sometimes there are pro-life, pro-lifers outside of the abortion clinics,
00:08:01.400 not screaming at them or harassing them, but just trying to, praying for them.
00:08:07.220 And sometimes you might have sidewalk counselors that are trying to give them information, literature,
00:08:11.620 to let them know that there are other choices, there are other options besides killing your child.
00:08:17.300 And the abortion clinic doesn't want these women to know, even though they claim to be pro-choice,
00:08:21.240 they actually don't want the women to know that there are other choices.
00:08:23.880 They don't want them to know that.
00:08:24.740 So they have escorts that their whole job is to make sure the woman, as she goes in,
00:08:31.560 is not exposed to any other information on her way in.
00:08:37.200 So that's what Rebecca Todd Peters does.
00:08:39.020 And then she launches into a pro-abortion riff on the Beatitudes, saying, quote,
00:08:43.040 if Jesus were giving his sermon today, he might have also said,
00:08:46.020 blessed are those who end pregnancies, for they will be known for their loving kindness.
00:08:51.300 And that's obviously not just a misreading of the Bible.
00:08:53.440 It's a satanic inversion of the biblical message.
00:08:57.240 Peters wants us to believe that not only is it morally acceptable to kill your own child,
00:09:01.420 but that it is somehow an act of kindness.
00:09:04.340 It's a sort of kindness to the child that involves brutally killing him
00:09:08.100 and then discarding his body in a medical waste dumpster.
00:09:11.480 Something tells me that Peters would never want anyone to be kind to her in that way.
00:09:17.300 So here, Peters, just like every other pro-abortion pastor,
00:09:19.840 pastor, quote, unquote, is playing the role of the serpent in the garden in the book of Genesis, basically,
00:09:26.560 tempting her confused followers to commit unspeakable sins
00:09:30.060 and promising that they'll be rewarded for it in some unspecified way.
00:09:35.420 Now, this is a woman who, among her many titles,
00:09:37.280 serves as president-elect of the Society of Christian Ethics.
00:09:41.120 She was apparently the vice president not too long ago, and she just got a promotion.
00:09:43.880 And that's her elected position.
00:09:46.800 The woman who says that Jesus would love abortion,
00:09:49.640 who's killed two of her own children and admits to it, brags about it,
00:09:52.940 is calling herself a leader in Christian ethics.
00:09:55.820 And other people calling themselves Christians evidently just go along with that.
00:09:59.620 Now, to be clear, this is not a one-off sermon.
00:10:01.640 This woman has been using her position to promote abortion for some time.
00:10:04.920 In USA Today, for example, she wrote,
00:10:06.280 I did not make my abortion decisions despite my Christian identity and faith,
00:10:10.620 but rather because of it.
00:10:12.060 Christian values that support healthy and secure families
00:10:14.480 also require careful, thoughtful, and morally rich consideration
00:10:17.580 about the decision to become a parent or not.
00:10:21.880 End quote.
00:10:23.380 Of course, the decision about whether to become a parent or not
00:10:26.540 is over the moment a child is conceived.
00:10:29.900 At that point, you are a parent, whether you like it or not.
00:10:33.080 It's too late to be not a parent.
00:10:35.080 And you will never be not a parent ever again.
00:10:38.200 The only decision you have to make at that point
00:10:39.900 is whether you'll be the parent of a living child or a dead one.
00:10:43.980 But Rebecca Todd Peters, a self-described Christian ethicist,
00:10:46.900 doesn't see it that way.
00:10:48.140 Basic tenets of Christianity like don't kill people,
00:10:51.440 you know, thou shalt not commit murder,
00:10:54.240 especially don't kill your own offspring,
00:10:56.160 these kinds of things have to be turned on their head.
00:10:59.340 And that's because the religion she preaches is not Christianity at all.
00:11:02.560 It's the religion of self.
00:11:03.720 It's the worship of the ego.
00:11:05.700 It is Satanism, in other words.
00:11:07.960 There are a lot of lessons to draw from this person.
00:11:10.440 One of them is that it is simply not possible to be a pro-abortion Christian.
00:11:15.160 That's something that doesn't actually exist.
00:11:17.600 You cannot have both.
00:11:18.820 You cannot be Christian and also pro-abortion.
00:11:20.600 Now, we can argue about the subject of abortion on secular grounds.
00:11:24.760 And even on those grounds, the pro-life argument wins easily.
00:11:31.260 But if we're debating the topic as self-professed Christians,
00:11:34.960 there's really nothing to talk about.
00:11:37.520 I mean, the pro-abortion position cannot survive even a moment of scrutiny.
00:11:41.740 Because the child in the mother's womb is a human being created by God in his image.
00:11:46.280 And that's something that if everybody involved in the conversation is Christian,
00:11:50.020 that's something that they should all affirm.
00:11:52.040 You can't not affirm it.
00:11:54.380 Conception is a miraculous event.
00:11:56.220 It is the moment that another divine image-bearer is brought into existence.
00:11:59.860 To kill and discard this child of God, to shed the blood of your own offspring,
00:12:04.720 is an act of unspeakable evil.
00:12:08.180 So the quote-unquote Christian argument for abortion is that, what?
00:12:11.800 That sometimes God makes children in hopes that we will kill them?
00:12:16.360 It is a morally psychotic position.
00:12:18.620 It's blasphemy of the most vile kind.
00:12:20.600 That much is very clear.
00:12:22.900 The other lesson we might learn is more political,
00:12:26.280 and one you've heard me say a lot recently especially,
00:12:28.340 which is that Republicans should not be so terrified of this issue.
00:12:32.840 And this minister is proof of that.
00:12:35.260 I mean, the left's position on the topic of abortion,
00:12:37.580 as evidenced by the clip I just played,
00:12:39.220 is just viscerally disgusting and repugnant.
00:12:43.540 All Republicans have to do is highlight this
00:12:46.480 and stop letting the left set the terms for the debate.
00:12:50.240 The kind of footage I just played is it's disturbing to every sane person.
00:12:54.300 You're unsettled by it.
00:12:55.720 It's creepy.
00:12:58.080 It's terrifying.
00:13:00.500 But it's very often hidden,
00:13:02.500 or at the very least, it's not widely discussed.
00:13:05.440 And that was the case with the footage of this woman's sermon,
00:13:07.700 but it needs to be exposed.
00:13:09.060 All you have to do is point to it to win the argument.
00:13:11.780 Just point to what they're saying.
00:13:13.280 Say, hey, everyone, listen to what this woman is saying.
00:13:14.880 Now, this is an especially extreme and deranged example,
00:13:20.740 but the broader message from these con artists is always the same.
00:13:24.600 They always want to convey the same general idea to Christians,
00:13:27.500 which is this.
00:13:28.580 Do whatever you want to do,
00:13:30.040 and God will endorse it because it's what you want to do.
00:13:33.240 Which is, of course, the diametric opposite of the gospel message,
00:13:36.000 but it's what various heretical Christian organizations and churches
00:13:39.100 are teaching all over the country.
00:13:40.180 It's why we have groups like Catholics for Choice and Dignity USA,
00:13:43.640 which says it's building, quote,
00:13:45.280 LGBTQ plus inclusion in the Catholic church.
00:13:48.920 They're all constructed around the idea that if you want to kill your child
00:13:51.780 or identify as, quote, unquote, non-binary or whatever,
00:13:55.160 whatever you want to do,
00:13:56.240 you should be able to do it because you want to do it.
00:13:59.240 This kind of heresy has reached epidemic proportions.
00:14:01.980 It's what supposedly Christian churches are teaching all over the country.
00:14:05.180 The website Protestia, I think I'm pronouncing that right,
00:14:08.640 has collected several other examples.
00:14:10.340 Here's one of them from another Presbyterian church in Birmingham.
00:14:13.800 This is supposedly another sermon that happens to involve telling people
00:14:18.660 that they're entitled to a lot of free stuff from the government.
00:14:22.180 Let's watch.
00:14:23.920 Jesus never mentioned abortion,
00:14:26.520 but he did talk about poverty.
00:14:29.760 Remember when the rich man asked what to do to inherit eternal life?
00:14:33.880 After loving God and neighbor,
00:14:36.720 Jesus urged him to sell all he had and give it to the poor.
00:14:42.020 When Jesus condemned the scribes and Pharisees for hypocrisy,
00:14:46.100 it was because they were using their positions
00:14:48.880 to make things easy on themselves and hard on everyone else.
00:14:54.940 And when Zacchaeus, a wealthy tax collector,
00:14:58.100 announced that he would repay anyone he'd cheated four times the amount,
00:15:03.140 and give half of his possessions to the poor,
00:15:06.780 Jesus declared that that day salvation had come to him.
00:15:13.220 So how do we set our course in the direction Jesus called for?
00:15:18.760 The direction that leads to salvation?
00:15:21.460 How do we ensure that women and families have the health care,
00:15:27.900 the contraceptive resources, the child care, the housing, the decent jobs,
00:15:33.500 the equitable pay, the equal protection, the access to transportation,
00:15:38.280 the good schools?
00:15:40.040 That's another female quote-unquote pastor for you.
00:15:43.980 So the story of Zacchaeus, the tax collector,
00:15:46.100 teaches us that equity is important, she says.
00:15:49.240 By returning the money he stole,
00:15:50.620 he somehow teaches us that we should ensure that women have contraceptive resources
00:15:54.600 and equitable pay and access to transportation.
00:15:59.700 So really, that story is laying out the 2024 DNC platform, more or less.
00:16:05.300 How progressive.
00:16:06.320 Here's a similar moment from St. Paul's Anglican Church in Cottom,
00:16:10.580 where they performed a hymn for transgenderism.
00:16:13.800 We'll play just a little bit of this because it's as painful as you might expect,
00:16:16.800 but here's just a very short snippet.
00:16:19.680 God of many genders, our world reflects you.
00:16:33.160 Sunrise and sunset uniting our youths.
00:16:39.160 Open into a city with jewels of all shades.
00:16:46.160 You know, it's not a coincidence that any time you hear these sacrilegious hymns,
00:16:58.660 that they also just sound terrible.
00:17:01.100 They're just unpleasant and ugly in every possible way.
00:17:06.180 They also, of course, aren't Christian in any sense of the word.
00:17:09.000 But Christianity has been bastardized by these sorts of people,
00:17:12.560 not just to promote abortion and gender ideology,
00:17:14.780 but also left-wing racial ideology has made its way into many churches.
00:17:19.600 So watch this moment from a church in Illinois.
00:17:23.360 Here it is. Listen.
00:17:24.560 Now, in this Fast from Whiteness, of course,
00:17:27.400 I cannot change the color of my skin
00:17:31.060 or the way that that allows me to move through the world,
00:17:34.420 but I can change what I listen to,
00:17:39.100 whose voice I prioritize.
00:17:40.940 And so that is kind of the plan for our worship services through Lent.
00:17:48.460 That we would fast for a time from prioritizing white voices
00:17:54.400 and that we would use the music and poetry
00:18:00.320 of black, indigenous, and people of color
00:18:05.220 and see what the Spirit might do among us.
00:18:10.180 So another female pastor there.
00:18:11.620 By the way, I'm not cherry-picking
00:18:13.620 to try to find specifically female pastors
00:18:16.740 saying blasphemous, sacrilegious things.
00:18:18.760 It just so happens that if you're looking for examples
00:18:20.660 of pastors saying blasphemous, sacrilegious things,
00:18:23.360 a huge number of them are going to be female pastors.
00:18:25.800 And that's because, as I said,
00:18:27.480 if there's female pastors in the church,
00:18:29.700 then that means that just from the outset
00:18:31.000 they've already rejected biblical doctrine
00:18:32.740 and put themselves in a position of,
00:18:35.120 you know, just,
00:18:35.620 well, St. Paul doesn't know what he's talking about,
00:18:37.100 that bigot.
00:18:37.720 Like, that's the starting point
00:18:39.220 if you have a female pastor,
00:18:40.940 which means that all the sacrilege
00:18:42.360 that comes after that
00:18:43.900 is just a natural,
00:18:46.420 a logical extension of that.
00:18:48.140 So anyway, she's presenting,
00:18:49.340 you know, this rejection of whiteness
00:18:51.340 as some grand act of selflessness,
00:18:53.040 but it's the opposite of that.
00:18:54.200 She's demeaning millions of people,
00:18:56.180 including herself,
00:18:56.800 on the most superficial grounds imaginable.
00:18:58.500 That's not something people do
00:18:59.580 when they're humble.
00:19:00.240 You know, this is not Christian self-denial.
00:19:02.800 This is egotism, actually.
00:19:04.820 And in all these cases,
00:19:07.420 it's clear what's going on.
00:19:08.780 Left-wing activists are infiltrating churches
00:19:11.060 and attempting to subvert
00:19:12.660 the fundamental tenets of the faith
00:19:14.340 in order to turn it into a vehicle
00:19:16.460 for their political and ideological agenda.
00:19:18.880 Now, the good news,
00:19:20.320 if there could be any good news
00:19:21.960 when we're talking about something like this,
00:19:25.180 is that the churches
00:19:26.260 who preach about whiteness
00:19:28.080 and sing hymns to transgenderism
00:19:30.420 and extol the virtue of child murder,
00:19:33.000 all of them tend to die out on their own.
00:19:36.760 You know, when you see a video
00:19:37.680 of Rebecca Todd Peters preaching
00:19:39.580 or any of the, quote, pastors like her,
00:19:42.940 you see one of those videos.
00:19:45.000 Usually, the only thing you see
00:19:46.440 is the person standing up at the pulpit,
00:19:48.280 but if the camera were to ever pan around
00:19:51.300 to show the congregation,
00:19:53.340 you would almost certainly see
00:19:55.320 that the congregation is sparse
00:19:57.420 and old
00:19:58.560 and basically catatonic.
00:20:00.800 The churches that have converted themselves
00:20:03.620 into left-wing social clubs
00:20:05.200 don't survive
00:20:06.460 because there's no reason
00:20:07.520 for them to exist in the first place.
00:20:10.260 You know, if somebody wants to hear
00:20:11.240 leftist pablum about race
00:20:13.180 or gender or whatever,
00:20:14.960 they can go literally
00:20:15.840 anywhere else to find it.
00:20:17.640 Like, check in with your company's
00:20:19.160 HR manager
00:20:19.940 and you'll get the same spiel.
00:20:21.960 You don't need to go to church for that.
00:20:25.300 And if people do go to church for that,
00:20:26.980 they're not going to go for very long
00:20:28.040 because they're going to discover
00:20:29.040 that I don't need,
00:20:29.780 why am I sitting here
00:20:30.540 in this uncomfortable pew
00:20:31.560 to listen to this thing
00:20:33.800 that I can hear, again,
00:20:35.180 anywhere else in the culture.
00:20:38.080 Now, people go to church
00:20:39.000 to feed a deeper spiritual hunger,
00:20:42.460 a hunger for something eternal and true.
00:20:45.820 And any church that doesn't give that to them
00:20:48.140 will die
00:20:49.200 and will deserve to.
00:20:52.440 Now let's get to our five headlines.
00:20:53.780 Did you know there's nearly $1 trillion
00:21:02.000 of infrastructure and pandemic funds
00:21:03.780 yet to be spent?
00:21:04.920 That's right.
00:21:05.400 There's a massive amount of money
00:21:06.640 that the lame duck administration
00:21:07.940 is pushing hard to spend
00:21:09.620 in their last few months.
00:21:11.060 If the president's able
00:21:11.880 to push these funds out,
00:21:13.200 we could see another
00:21:14.180 prolonged inflation surge,
00:21:16.000 just like during COVID.
00:21:17.920 And I'm sure you remember
00:21:18.700 the terrible effects
00:21:19.620 that high prices had
00:21:20.540 on most Americans.
00:21:21.980 But there's hope.
00:21:22.600 A surge in prices can be beaten.
00:21:24.660 A gold IRA from Birch Gold Group
00:21:26.560 is the ultimate inflation hedge
00:21:28.180 for your savings

00:21:37.900 Due to enormous demand,

00:21:56.020 with gold.

00:22:01.060 and make your purchase
00:22:02.720 before September 30th.
00:22:05.120 So let's start with
00:22:06.040 what should be
00:22:06.880 the last sneak peek clip
00:22:09.120 from MI Races
00:22:10.020 that you'll see
00:22:10.660 before the movie comes out.
00:22:12.420 If you want any more clips,
00:22:14.460 you know,
00:22:14.880 you need to go see the movie
00:22:15.820 to see those,
00:22:16.760 you damned freeloaders.
00:22:18.860 This one was released
00:22:20.500 exclusively by Megyn Kelly
00:22:21.620 yesterday.
00:22:22.420 And in this,
00:22:22.960 you'll see a small snippet
00:22:24.080 from the very beginning
00:22:25.280 of my journey.
00:22:28.160 The first person I talked to
00:22:29.820 actually in the film,
00:22:31.480 you'll see here,
00:22:32.220 and this is a woman
00:22:32.700 named Kate Slater
00:22:33.760 who's a prominent
00:22:34.700 anti-racist educator.
00:22:36.640 At least that's what
00:22:37.240 she calls herself,
00:22:37.980 an anti-racist educator.
00:22:40.120 And she's the person
00:22:41.760 who kind of sets me up
00:22:42.640 and sends me on my journey.
00:22:43.980 She created,
00:22:44.860 you'll see this in the film,
00:22:45.580 she created something
00:22:46.320 that she calls
00:22:46.920 the anti-racist roadmap.
00:22:48.920 So we figured that
00:22:50.000 starting this out,
00:22:52.120 you know,
00:22:52.460 I need to know where to go.
00:22:53.700 I need to know
00:22:54.220 who I should talk to.
00:22:55.240 I need to know
00:22:55.700 what my journey
00:22:56.900 should look like.
00:22:57.520 And so we should talk
00:22:58.120 to someone who,
00:22:58.900 you know,
00:22:59.260 has literally made the map
00:23:00.960 on how to,
00:23:02.500 how to,
00:23:04.180 how to confront
00:23:04.820 your whiteness
00:23:05.580 and,
00:23:05.960 and decolonize yourself.
00:23:07.820 So we start with her.
00:23:08.560 And in this clip,
00:23:09.160 you'll see our,
00:23:11.880 as part of the overall discussion,
00:23:13.720 there was a brief moment
00:23:14.720 where we kind of focused in
00:23:16.620 on an important topic.
00:23:19.140 And this is where I get the,
00:23:20.720 you know,
00:23:20.900 frankly,
00:23:21.200 pretty devastating news
00:23:22.300 that my three-year-old daughter
00:23:24.640 might be racist.
00:23:28.020 Listen.
00:23:29.940 My daughter's four years old.
00:23:31.960 I am an anti-racist educator,
00:23:34.960 quote unquote.
00:23:35.460 She's still watching Disney movies
00:23:36.860 and she is choosing
00:23:37.920 a white princess
00:23:39.060 over princesses of color.
00:23:42.060 Have you talked to her about that?
00:23:43.180 All the time.
00:23:43.840 My three-year-old daughter
00:23:45.240 is very,
00:23:46.540 her favorite princess is Moana.
00:23:48.260 Love it.
00:23:49.080 It's a good sign.
00:23:50.020 Yeah.
00:23:50.500 But then I also thought,
00:23:52.500 you know,
00:23:53.120 there's a little bit
00:23:54.040 of cultural appropriation here.
00:23:55.140 She wants to be Moana
00:23:55.860 for Halloween.
00:23:56.740 Mm-hmm.
00:23:57.740 So how do we navigate that?
00:24:00.240 Do I go and,
00:24:01.340 and,
00:24:01.580 and buy the Pacific Islander
00:24:03.800 native attire
00:24:05.240 for my white three-year-old?
00:24:06.940 Um,
00:24:07.260 I wouldn't.
00:24:08.300 I wouldn't.
00:24:09.180 But I guess
00:24:10.120 what we might call
00:24:11.200 the Moana problem here
00:24:12.220 is,
00:24:12.500 is what,
00:24:13.220 uh,
00:24:13.600 on one hand
00:24:14.780 there's cultural appropriation,
00:24:15.840 on the other hand
00:24:16.660 there's gravitating
00:24:17.880 towards,
00:24:18.460 uh,
00:24:18.920 white characters.
00:24:20.860 Right.
00:24:21.680 So it's almost like
00:24:22.540 no matter which way
00:24:24.160 you go,
00:24:25.800 you end up back
00:24:26.880 in racism.
00:24:28.800 We think every space
00:24:30.160 belongs to us
00:24:30.740 because we live
00:24:31.540 in a white supremacist society.
00:24:33.140 Is America
00:24:33.580 an inherently racist
00:24:35.280 country?
00:24:37.880 I think
00:24:38.960 the word inherent
00:24:40.940 is challenging there.
00:24:42.420 If we say,
00:24:43.680 Fundamentally.
00:24:44.460 Fundamentally,
00:24:45.220 yes.
00:24:46.240 America is racist
00:24:47.080 to its bones.
00:24:48.900 All of the,
00:24:49.420 So inherently.
00:24:50.260 Yeah.
00:24:50.780 They gonna say you racist?
00:24:51.640 Am I racist?
00:24:52.620 In theaters September 13th.
00:24:53.940 Rated PG-13.
00:24:54.880 Buy tickets now.
00:24:56.700 Yes,
00:24:57.360 the,
00:24:57.620 uh,
00:24:57.840 Moana problem.
00:24:58.800 Um,
00:24:59.520 and,
00:24:59.940 you know,
00:25:00.280 perhaps that'll be
00:25:00.780 the name of my
00:25:01.320 next documentary.
00:25:02.880 And,
00:25:03.360 uh,
00:25:04.020 yeah,
00:25:04.280 unfortunately it turns out
00:25:05.360 that my three-year-old
00:25:06.060 daughter,
00:25:06.580 now four by the way,
00:25:08.180 is,
00:25:08.660 uh,
00:25:08.880 racist for liking
00:25:10.420 Moana.
00:25:11.360 Um,
00:25:11.940 but,
00:25:12.260 would also be racist
00:25:15.280 for not liking Moana.
00:25:17.220 So,
00:25:17.880 you know,
00:25:18.200 she's racist
00:25:18.700 if she gravitates
00:25:19.540 towards white princesses,
00:25:21.000 racist if she doesn't,
00:25:23.620 racist either way.
00:25:24.780 No matter which way you go,
00:25:25.620 you end up back
00:25:26.280 in racism
00:25:26.820 as we just heard.
00:25:27.700 Uh,
00:25:29.380 it,
00:25:29.920 I think in that clip,
00:25:31.500 the,
00:25:31.720 the thing that most people
00:25:33.360 will pick up on
00:25:34.160 is the exchange about Moana,
00:25:35.720 but notice right before that
00:25:37.800 when she said,
00:25:39.960 when this woman
00:25:40.840 confesses that she's,
00:25:42.680 uh,
00:25:42.800 she's,
00:25:43.100 she brought,
00:25:43.580 first of all,
00:25:43.860 she brought up the,
00:25:44.520 the Disney princess thing
00:25:45.560 herself,
00:25:46.960 talking about her own daughter,
00:25:51.740 throwing her own daughter
00:25:52.460 under the bus,
00:25:53.120 her four,
00:25:53.460 her four-year-old daughter
00:25:54.440 for liking white princesses.
00:25:56.780 And then,
00:25:56.980 and then I said,
00:25:57.660 I said,
00:25:58.300 well,
00:25:58.760 have you talked about that?
00:25:59.480 She said,
00:25:59.800 all the time.
00:26:01.000 She has talked to her own daughter
00:26:02.620 about her daughter
00:26:03.620 preferring white princesses
00:26:05.020 all the time
00:26:06.040 is what she says.
00:26:08.520 And I believe her.
00:26:10.840 Sadly,
00:26:11.440 sadly for that poor child,
00:26:13.060 I believe Kate Slater
00:26:14.640 that she has
00:26:15.240 all the time,
00:26:17.000 she has frequently
00:26:17.820 lectured her daughter
00:26:19.420 about the,
00:26:20.380 about her racial preferences
00:26:21.900 in Disney princesses.
00:26:24.500 So,
00:26:25.040 of course,
00:26:25.220 we can laugh
00:26:25.760 at the absurdity of this
00:26:26.840 and there's a lot of
00:26:27.900 absurdity to laugh at
00:26:29.700 in this film.
00:26:30.620 There's quite a bit of it
00:26:31.680 on display.
00:26:33.260 A film that you can see
00:26:34.200 on September 13th,
00:26:35.220 tickets on sale
00:26:35.680 at miracist.com.
00:26:37.140 But,
00:26:37.820 we should always remember
00:26:39.700 that there's something
00:26:40.680 very dark and evil
00:26:41.860 underneath
00:26:42.260 all of this.
00:26:43.940 Beneath the comedy
00:26:44.740 is a tragedy.
00:26:45.920 As I guess is always
00:26:46.740 the case with comedy.
00:26:48.700 But the tragedy
00:26:49.600 here is,
00:26:50.740 you know,
00:26:51.800 societal.
00:26:52.640 It's countrywide,
00:26:53.700 cultural,
00:26:54.380 culturewide.
00:26:57.420 And it's that
00:26:58.360 people like this
00:26:59.740 are out there
00:27:00.220 brainwashing
00:27:01.120 susceptible,
00:27:02.200 gullible fools
00:27:03.080 into believing
00:27:05.480 this kind of garbage.
00:27:07.660 And,
00:27:08.160 and,
00:27:08.540 and they're,
00:27:09.060 and they are also
00:27:10.080 foisting it on
00:27:11.160 their children.
00:27:11.920 I mean,
00:27:12.000 what,
00:27:12.260 what hope,
00:27:13.180 you talk about,
00:27:13.540 you think about Kate Slater's
00:27:14.440 four-year-old daughter.
00:27:16.600 What hope does she have
00:27:17.700 to turn out
00:27:18.220 as a normal,
00:27:19.620 well-adjusted person?
00:27:21.380 We certainly pray
00:27:22.260 that that happens.
00:27:23.680 You know,
00:27:24.220 there's hope for all of us.
00:27:26.380 But she's at a massive
00:27:27.560 disadvantage.
00:27:29.480 Like,
00:27:29.960 it's,
00:27:30.600 those of us who are
00:27:31.360 normal,
00:27:31.940 sane people,
00:27:32.500 we can't even,
00:27:34.300 it's impossible
00:27:35.240 to put ourselves
00:27:36.220 into the,
00:27:37.060 into the,
00:27:37.080 into the mind,
00:27:38.980 into the,
00:27:39.400 the mind,
00:27:40.200 and the,
00:27:40.680 the,
00:27:40.920 the state of mind
00:27:41.960 of someone
00:27:43.120 who has been
00:27:44.180 indoctrinated into
00:27:45.580 this way of thinking
00:27:46.400 basically from birth.
00:27:48.940 Just imagine what that
00:27:50.120 does to someone.
00:27:50.880 Before,
00:27:51.220 before,
00:27:51.800 all the way through,
00:27:52.500 from birth,
00:27:53.060 from child,
00:27:53.700 through childhood,
00:27:54.820 before they get
00:27:56.060 to a point
00:27:56.940 where they can leave
00:27:57.580 their house
00:27:58.260 and maybe encounter
00:27:59.800 other ideas
00:28:00.760 and be exposed
00:28:02.820 to people
00:28:03.560 who will tell them
00:28:04.340 that,
00:28:04.680 hey,
00:28:04.940 you know,
00:28:05.180 you don't have to
00:28:06.160 obsess over this
00:28:07.920 racial stuff.
00:28:08.600 You don't have to
00:28:09.040 hate yourself
00:28:09.460 for being white.
00:28:10.160 Not everything you do
00:28:10.900 is automatically racist.
00:28:12.400 You know,
00:28:12.560 before they even
00:28:14.480 can be exposed
00:28:15.420 to people
00:28:15.720 who will tell them
00:28:16.240 that,
00:28:17.080 their minds
00:28:18.000 are going to be
00:28:18.360 so warped
00:28:19.160 that it's just,
00:28:21.540 like I said,
00:28:22.400 tragic,
00:28:23.240 but this is what
00:28:23.720 we're trying to
00:28:24.140 expose in the movie.
00:28:25.520 Amiracist.com,
00:28:26.340 movie comes out
00:28:26.820 on September 13th.
00:28:28.480 All right,
00:28:28.960 let's move to this
00:28:29.660 from The Daily Wire.
00:28:30.320 The Tennessee Star
00:28:33.740 on Tuesday
00:28:34.120 published the
00:28:34.740 nearly 100-page
00:28:35.800 journal of the
00:28:36.460 28-year-old woman
00:28:37.220 who killed
00:28:37.620 three adults
00:28:38.140 and three children
00:28:38.640 at the Covenant
00:28:39.080 Christian School
00:28:39.620 in Nashville,
00:28:40.220 Tennessee.
00:28:41.080 The journal offers
00:28:41.660 a glimpse into
00:28:42.260 the mind of a
00:28:42.900 self-proclaimed
00:28:43.440 autistic person
00:28:44.440 prone to depression
00:28:45.240 and obsession.
00:28:46.540 The shooter's
00:28:46.920 two most
00:28:47.300 animating obsessions
00:28:48.200 were left-wing ideas
00:28:49.240 about transgenderism,
00:28:50.280 including the idea
00:28:50.840 that children
00:28:51.200 will kill themselves
00:28:51.960 if they cannot
00:28:52.380 get gender surgery
00:28:53.200 and white privilege.
00:28:55.480 The two themes
00:28:56.080 converged in the
00:28:56.880 overall format
00:28:57.580 of the journal,
00:28:58.640 which often takes
00:28:59.460 the form of
00:29:00.000 diary entries
00:29:00.760 addressed to
00:29:01.380 a brown girl
00:29:02.200 with whom
00:29:03.100 the shooter
00:29:03.380 was in love.
00:29:04.420 The shooter
00:29:04.660 reportedly played
00:29:05.520 basketball with
00:29:06.080 the girl in
00:29:06.360 eighth grade
00:29:06.720 and had not
00:29:07.160 remained in contact
00:29:07.900 but created
00:29:08.400 a race-based idea
00:29:09.380 of the girl
00:29:09.820 in her mind.
00:29:11.340 The diary entries
00:29:12.020 detailed how
00:29:12.700 the shooter's
00:29:13.140 autistic brain
00:29:14.140 struggled with
00:29:14.680 different ideas
00:29:15.280 like white privilege.
00:29:17.740 On February 27th,
00:29:19.000 2023,
00:29:20.020 a month before
00:29:20.540 the shooting,
00:29:20.960 the shooter
00:29:21.200 drew a diagram
00:29:22.000 that said
00:29:22.580 brain,
00:29:23.300 white privilege,
00:29:24.180 embarrassment of self.
00:29:26.500 The shooter
00:29:26.880 wrote poems
00:29:27.420 about her longing
00:29:28.140 for interracial
00:29:29.220 sex.
00:29:32.100 And by the way,
00:29:32.640 if you go to
00:29:33.020 the Daily Wire
00:29:33.700 report,
00:29:34.240 you can see
00:29:34.520 the actual
00:29:35.100 screenshots of
00:29:37.240 the journal
00:29:37.560 with examples
00:29:38.600 of the text
00:29:39.940 of these things
00:29:40.560 if you want
00:29:41.900 to see that.
00:29:45.060 Nothing in the
00:29:45.760 nearly 100-page
00:29:46.480 journal appears
00:29:47.020 to justify
00:29:47.500 the FBI's claim
00:29:48.340 that it was
00:29:48.600 withholding it
00:29:49.180 in the name
00:29:49.480 of public safety.
00:29:51.280 Nashville City
00:29:51.880 Council member
00:29:52.380 Courtney Johnson
00:29:53.000 told the New York
00:29:53.560 Post that the
00:29:54.500 FBI said the
00:29:55.100 manifesto couldn't
00:29:55.780 be released
00:29:56.140 because it
00:29:56.480 was a blueprint
00:29:56.980 on total
00:29:57.540 destruction
00:29:58.080 and it was
00:29:59.160 so, so detailed
00:29:59.880 at the level
00:30:00.320 of what she
00:30:00.700 had planned.
00:30:01.880 That document
00:30:02.440 in the wrong
00:30:02.740 person's hands
00:30:03.240 would be
00:30:03.520 astronomically
00:30:04.220 dangerous.
00:30:06.260 A police
00:30:06.580 inventory says
00:30:07.200 that there
00:30:07.520 were two
00:30:09.480 journals on
00:30:10.060 the shooter's
00:30:10.500 desk,
00:30:10.940 one under
00:30:11.380 her desk
00:30:11.780 and seven
00:30:12.220 under her
00:30:12.620 bed,
00:30:12.920 so it's
00:30:13.140 possible that
00:30:13.620 such information
00:30:14.180 was in
00:30:14.540 another journal,
00:30:15.280 but this
00:30:15.580 journal,
00:30:16.160 which appears
00:30:16.600 to be the
00:30:16.920 most recent,
00:30:17.740 does not
00:30:18.100 include any
00:30:18.740 detailed
00:30:19.080 information
00:30:19.500 about
00:30:19.700 penetrating
00:30:20.140 a school
00:30:20.680 or carrying
00:30:21.760 out a
00:30:22.240 shooting.
00:30:22.480 Okay, so
00:30:23.960 it's pretty
00:30:25.800 clear why
00:30:26.220 they didn't
00:30:26.520 want this
00:30:27.080 thing to be
00:30:27.420 released.
00:30:27.820 It's exactly
00:30:28.260 what we
00:30:28.520 suspected,
00:30:28.940 and if you
00:30:29.900 go through
00:30:30.180 this journal,
00:30:30.800 again, as
00:30:31.480 the Daily Wire
00:30:32.040 notes in the
00:30:32.600 report there
00:30:33.160 by Luke
00:30:34.040 Rosiak,
00:30:34.600 that this
00:30:36.700 is not,
00:30:37.320 you're not
00:30:37.640 going to read
00:30:38.000 this journal
00:30:38.560 and come
00:30:39.120 away with
00:30:39.780 a blueprint
00:30:41.740 on how to
00:30:42.720 shoot up a
00:30:43.620 school.
00:30:44.060 Like, that's
00:30:44.440 not going to
00:30:44.840 happen.
00:30:45.860 There's nothing
00:30:46.460 in it that
00:30:46.960 would give
00:30:48.880 someone instructions
00:30:49.620 for carrying out
00:30:50.540 a shooting like
00:30:51.140 that.
00:30:51.280 There's nothing
00:30:51.640 in it that
00:30:51.960 would inspire
00:30:52.560 someone to
00:30:53.160 commit a
00:30:53.940 shooting.
00:30:54.240 So, all
00:30:55.080 of the
00:30:55.500 stories, all
00:30:56.700 the justifications
00:30:57.400 that we heard,
00:30:57.900 the rationalization
00:30:58.640 for not
00:30:58.960 releasing it,
00:30:59.540 that this was
00:30:59.900 a matter of
00:31:01.000 public safety,
00:31:02.080 is just not
00:31:03.340 borne out by
00:31:04.680 what we see
00:31:05.300 in the journal.
00:31:06.880 And so, the
00:31:07.260 real reason is
00:31:07.820 exactly what we
00:31:08.400 suspected, what
00:31:09.080 we knew.
00:31:10.060 No surprises
00:31:10.840 here.
00:31:12.060 This person's
00:31:12.820 mind was
00:31:13.340 polluted by
00:31:13.980 left-wing race
00:31:15.080 and gender
00:31:15.800 ideology.
00:31:16.940 And that's
00:31:17.480 what they
00:31:17.640 didn't want
00:31:17.960 us to know.
00:31:18.780 The only real
00:31:19.300 surprise, I
00:31:19.900 guess, is
00:31:20.660 that is the
00:31:21.260 racial part
00:31:21.840 of it.
00:31:22.200 I think
00:31:22.640 based on what
00:31:24.180 we knew
00:31:24.580 almost immediately
00:31:25.380 after the
00:31:25.880 shooting, it
00:31:26.460 was pretty
00:31:26.800 clear to any
00:31:27.880 common sense
00:31:28.760 person that
00:31:30.300 gender ideology
00:31:31.060 played a major
00:31:31.640 role in this
00:31:32.200 thing, because
00:31:32.720 this is a
00:31:33.140 trans-identified
00:31:33.820 shooter shooting
00:31:34.900 up a
00:31:35.480 Christian school.
00:31:37.960 But all the
00:31:38.560 stuff about race,
00:31:39.640 it's not surprising
00:31:40.420 to find that in
00:31:41.060 there, but that
00:31:41.900 was not immediately
00:31:42.560 obvious.
00:31:44.460 And yet, there
00:31:45.180 it is.
00:31:45.960 And that's what
00:31:46.540 they didn't want
00:31:46.920 us to know.
00:31:47.320 But now it's
00:31:49.380 apparent.
00:31:49.780 Now, of
00:31:50.000 course, we'll
00:31:51.880 hear that the
00:31:52.740 journals really
00:31:53.320 proved something
00:31:53.960 else, that they
00:31:54.420 proved that the
00:31:54.880 shooter was a
00:31:55.360 deranged, crazy
00:31:56.160 person, and
00:31:59.120 that's all that
00:32:01.220 we should take
00:32:01.660 from it.
00:32:02.000 This was just a
00:32:02.480 crazy person.
00:32:03.200 There was nothing
00:32:03.660 else behind it.
00:32:05.400 And shortly, yeah,
00:32:06.380 she was crazy, but
00:32:07.440 these are not
00:32:08.640 mutually exclusive
00:32:09.360 categories, first
00:32:10.160 of all.
00:32:10.980 A person whose
00:32:11.820 mind is overtaken
00:32:12.920 by left-wing race
00:32:13.920 and gender
00:32:14.220 ideology, and
00:32:15.000 a person who
00:32:15.580 is unbalanced.
00:32:16.760 I mean, there's
00:32:17.520 a lot of overlap
00:32:18.280 there.
00:32:19.640 But here's the
00:32:20.280 real question.
00:32:20.800 This is the
00:32:21.120 question that
00:32:21.540 still has not
00:32:22.060 been answered
00:32:22.460 as far as I
00:32:23.020 know, and
00:32:24.300 may never be
00:32:24.920 answered.
00:32:26.360 The question
00:32:27.000 is this.
00:32:28.580 Was the
00:32:29.200 shooter, Audrey
00:32:30.060 Hale, not
00:32:31.560 given the
00:32:32.160 treatment that
00:32:32.780 she needed?
00:32:33.420 Were the
00:32:33.680 proper
00:32:34.000 interventions
00:32:34.560 not done
00:32:35.600 because her
00:32:37.520 derangement
00:32:38.280 was filtered
00:32:39.080 through left-wing
00:32:41.560 ideology, especially
00:32:42.840 with race,
00:32:43.400 with respect to
00:32:44.360 race and
00:32:45.080 gender?
00:32:46.440 That's the
00:32:46.980 question.
00:32:47.360 Did her
00:32:47.640 therapists, did
00:32:48.400 her doctors,
00:32:50.120 health care
00:32:50.880 providers, whoever,
00:32:53.560 did they fail to
00:32:54.620 treat her?
00:32:55.160 Did they fail to
00:32:55.780 intervene?
00:32:56.540 Did they fail to
00:32:57.140 do what they
00:32:57.580 needed to do and
00:32:58.460 instead actually
00:32:59.340 affirm her
00:33:01.120 mental states
00:33:02.520 because of their
00:33:04.380 policy of
00:33:04.960 affirmation for
00:33:06.120 these kinds of
00:33:06.700 ideas?
00:33:07.860 And so that's
00:33:09.260 the question.
00:33:10.220 Not all that
00:33:10.960 long ago, if you
00:33:11.880 had someone like
00:33:12.440 Audrey Hale, who
00:33:13.360 was obviously
00:33:13.940 delusional,
00:33:14.760 obviously unbalanced,
00:33:15.980 obviously mentally
00:33:16.760 ill, and then
00:33:18.880 she started talking
00:33:19.640 about how she's
00:33:20.420 really a boy and
00:33:21.840 how she hates
00:33:22.580 white people and
00:33:23.460 she hates herself
00:33:24.140 for being white,
00:33:26.400 not all that long
00:33:27.260 ago, the mental
00:33:27.680 health establishment
00:33:28.360 would have
00:33:29.480 recognized that as
00:33:30.540 part of the
00:33:33.460 picture, part of
00:33:34.740 her mental state
00:33:37.200 that they need to
00:33:37.900 address, but now
00:33:39.680 they affirm that
00:33:40.620 aspect of it.
00:33:41.300 So they pick
00:33:41.860 through the
00:33:43.800 kind of delusional
00:33:44.580 rantings of a
00:33:45.440 person like Audrey
00:33:46.160 Hale, and they
00:33:47.400 affirm certain
00:33:48.260 pieces of it.
00:33:50.120 So they would
00:33:50.740 look through this
00:33:51.220 journal and they
00:33:51.940 would say, yeah,
00:33:52.900 well, that's
00:33:53.260 troubling, you
00:33:54.360 shouldn't be
00:33:54.720 feeling that way,
00:33:55.360 you shouldn't be
00:33:55.620 thinking that way,
00:33:56.120 but this stuff
00:33:57.160 over here, yeah,
00:33:58.700 well, that obviously
00:34:00.740 is, well, this
00:34:02.380 speaks to your
00:34:03.260 deeper true self,
00:34:04.380 and we need to
00:34:04.760 affirm that.
00:34:05.340 And what that
00:34:08.840 means is that the
00:34:09.580 problem is allowed
00:34:10.220 to fester, it's
00:34:11.280 encouraged, it's
00:34:12.180 fertilized, it's
00:34:13.460 fostered until
00:34:16.620 something like this
00:34:17.280 happens.
00:34:18.740 All right, let's
00:34:20.180 see, also wanted
00:34:22.760 to mention this
00:34:23.840 from Daily Wire,
00:34:25.260 Dennis Quaid's
00:34:26.020 presidential biopic
00:34:26.980 Reagan outperformed
00:34:28.020 box office
00:34:28.480 expectations over
00:34:29.300 Labor Day
00:34:29.620 weekend, landing in
00:34:30.440 a close race for
00:34:32.020 third place behind
00:34:32.980 mega blockbusters
00:34:33.800 like Deadpool and
00:34:34.760 Wolverine.
00:34:35.740 The film directed
00:34:36.260 by Sean McNamara
00:34:37.600 stars Quaid as
00:34:38.880 the former
00:34:39.160 president and
00:34:39.920 Penelope Ann
00:34:40.560 Miller as his
00:34:41.640 wife, Nancy.
00:34:43.160 Academy Award
00:34:43.660 winner John Voight
00:34:44.360 is a supporting
00:34:44.840 role.
00:34:47.420 Reagan earned,
00:34:49.020 and by the way,
00:34:49.740 it has a 98%
00:34:50.880 audience rating on
00:34:52.280 Rotten Tomatoes
00:34:53.680 and a 19%
00:34:55.040 critical rating,
00:34:56.700 which might be
00:34:58.100 the record for
00:34:59.260 the widest
00:35:00.200 gap between
00:35:01.880 audience and
00:35:02.800 critics.
00:35:03.140 98 to 19 is
00:35:06.220 quite something.
00:35:08.540 Reagan earned
00:35:09.020 $7.4 million
00:35:09.920 Friday through
00:35:10.620 Sunday and could
00:35:11.440 end the four-day
00:35:12.380 weekend with
00:35:12.720 $9.2 million.
00:35:15.600 Again, landing in
00:35:16.740 third place behind
00:35:17.980 these major
00:35:18.580 blockbusters.
00:35:19.700 So I haven't seen
00:35:20.320 this movie yet.
00:35:20.840 I intend to see
00:35:21.440 it, but I've heard
00:35:22.580 very good things
00:35:23.100 about it.
00:35:23.740 And the success
00:35:24.820 of this film just
00:35:26.240 goes to show,
00:35:26.820 yet again, that
00:35:27.320 audiences are hungry
00:35:28.220 for stories that
00:35:29.240 appeal, you know,
00:35:32.200 not to conservatives
00:35:33.060 specifically, but to
00:35:34.300 just normal people.
00:35:36.140 Yeah, there are a lot
00:35:36.740 of conservatives who
00:35:37.420 want to watch movies
00:35:38.120 and would like to see
00:35:39.420 their own values and,
00:35:40.540 you know, reflected in
00:35:42.440 their entertainment,
00:35:43.200 but really what this is
00:35:44.280 about is just like
00:35:44.880 movies for normal
00:35:45.660 people.
00:35:46.940 And keep in mind,
00:35:47.520 when you see a film
00:35:48.180 like this, a so-called
00:35:49.620 conservative film,
00:35:50.660 quote-unquote, and you
00:35:52.660 see it perform well at
00:35:53.500 the box office, you
00:35:54.960 got to keep in mind
00:35:55.540 that what all of the
00:35:58.420 obstacles, all the
00:35:59.460 hurdles that a film
00:36:00.660 like this has to get
00:36:01.460 over in order to
00:36:02.340 succeed, you know,
00:36:05.180 it's achieving that
00:36:05.940 feat on a very small
00:36:06.920 budget.
00:36:07.320 I don't know what the
00:36:07.760 production budget was
00:36:08.580 for Reagan, but I
00:36:09.560 guarantee it was
00:36:10.760 infinitesimal compared
00:36:11.900 to the budget for
00:36:12.980 mainstream Hollywood
00:36:13.700 films, compared to the
00:36:15.420 budget for the
00:36:15.960 world, like Deadpool
00:36:16.580 and Wolverine, for
00:36:18.480 example.
00:36:19.560 And that's a huge
00:36:20.380 deficit that movies
00:36:21.120 outside the mainstream
00:36:21.900 have to deal with.
00:36:23.480 We're contending with
00:36:24.360 it right now, you
00:36:25.240 know, for our film.
00:36:26.620 And we can't put a
00:36:27.800 hundred million dollars
00:36:28.640 towards marketing it
00:36:29.540 like these other
00:36:31.740 films do.
00:36:32.580 We have a tiny, tiny
00:36:34.060 fraction of that amount
00:36:35.040 to spend.
00:36:35.620 Same for Reagan.
00:36:36.380 So if a movie like
00:36:37.880 Reagan succeeds, it's
00:36:38.660 going to be almost
00:36:39.160 entirely on its own
00:36:40.300 merit.
00:36:41.500 And not only that,
00:36:42.160 but mainstream media
00:36:43.480 outlets and shows are
00:36:45.300 generally not going to
00:36:46.440 promote your film, I
00:36:48.200 don't think Dennis
00:36:48.720 Quaid was on The
00:36:49.600 Tonight Show talking
00:36:50.360 about Reagan.
00:36:50.960 As far as I know, he
00:36:51.980 wasn't.
00:36:54.460 You aren't going to
00:36:55.360 see like McDonald's or
00:36:57.560 Walmart promoting
00:36:59.040 Reagan or selling
00:37:00.320 Reagan Happy Meals or
00:37:01.580 Reagan merchandise.
00:37:04.380 So this is a massive,
00:37:06.080 massive disadvantage that
00:37:07.300 a movie like this has to
00:37:08.440 contend with.
00:37:09.740 And this is, I'm not
00:37:10.320 complaining.
00:37:10.800 And this is, this is
00:37:12.960 not me simply whining
00:37:13.820 about it.
00:37:14.140 I'm only pointing out
00:37:14.940 that the enormity of
00:37:18.200 the task at hand when
00:37:20.240 you're a quote unquote
00:37:22.680 conservative making a
00:37:23.840 movie.
00:37:24.660 And then when you have a
00:37:25.760 success, you know, you
00:37:26.960 have to appreciate the
00:37:27.760 enormity of that success
00:37:29.220 given all of these just
00:37:31.320 incredible disadvantages.
00:37:33.200 It also shows you too the
00:37:34.800 enormity of the failure
00:37:36.420 when mainstream films flop at
00:37:39.460 the box office as they do
00:37:40.760 all the time.
00:37:41.820 And I've been thinking
00:37:42.260 about this a lot recently
00:37:43.160 when again, you know,
00:37:44.160 going through this process
00:37:44.960 now for myself for the
00:37:46.340 first time with getting a
00:37:48.520 movie in theaters and
00:37:49.480 trying to promote it.
00:37:50.900 And, and you see just
00:37:52.160 like you look at what
00:37:53.760 you're working with
00:37:54.660 budget wise, you know,
00:37:56.720 the acts of the very
00:37:57.500 limited access you have
00:37:59.040 to media outlets and, and
00:38:01.220 all that.
00:38:02.460 And you look at these
00:38:03.260 other movies that just
00:38:04.280 like just dwarf you in
00:38:05.860 every respect.
00:38:07.360 They've got hundreds of
00:38:08.540 millions of dollars to
00:38:09.260 spend.
00:38:09.860 They can, they have
00:38:10.880 access to every show
00:38:12.360 they want to go on
00:38:13.320 everywhere.
00:38:14.700 And then when you see
00:38:15.580 that and these movies
00:38:16.780 still flop, that's
00:38:19.260 amazing too.
00:38:21.260 You know, so when you
00:38:22.640 see these movies flop,
00:38:23.420 yeah, it's obvious it's
00:38:24.140 a failure, but it's even,
00:38:25.060 it's an even bigger
00:38:25.820 failure than you realize
00:38:27.060 at first.
00:38:29.440 Um, when you consider
00:38:31.500 how much money they're
00:38:33.140 able to put into letting
00:38:34.560 people know about this
00:38:35.680 film and, and try and
00:38:37.760 get people excited about
00:38:38.740 it, um, and then to
00:38:42.240 still flop in spite of
00:38:43.780 that is just, uh, is
00:38:45.900 pretty amazing.
00:38:46.600 Um, so, uh, on both
00:38:50.100 ends, it's, it's pretty
00:38:51.180 incredible.
00:38:52.560 All right, let's see
00:38:53.800 before we get to the
00:38:55.840 cancellation, there's one
00:38:56.620 other, um, one other
00:38:59.740 thing.
00:38:59.920 Okay, here, this one's
00:39:00.860 important.
00:39:01.180 Um, so the New York
00:39:03.160 Times Magazine has a
00:39:04.060 letter this week from
00:39:04.800 somebody seeking advice,
00:39:05.980 and this is someone who's
00:39:06.800 disturbed by the
00:39:07.820 proliferation of dogs
00:39:09.100 everywhere in public, and
00:39:10.860 he's asking for advice on
00:39:12.300 this.
00:39:12.840 Um, so we're, we're
00:39:14.060 going to ignore whatever
00:39:14.760 advice the New York Times
00:39:15.680 advice columnist gives,
00:39:16.840 and, uh, I didn't even
00:39:18.340 read it, like it's probably
00:39:19.260 wrong.
00:39:20.260 I'll give the right
00:39:21.100 answer, but, but here's
00:39:22.080 the letter I want to
00:39:23.060 start with.
00:39:23.920 It says, some time ago,
00:39:25.120 my mother and I went to
00:39:26.040 have our weekly lunch at a
00:39:27.700 New York restaurant.
00:39:28.420 The restaurant allowed
00:39:29.340 dogs, and a woman walked
00:39:30.780 in with two dogs on
00:39:31.860 leashes and sat down.
00:39:33.000 One of the dogs sniffed
00:39:33.820 my coat and got a mucus
00:39:35.020 stain on it.
00:39:36.140 Disgusting.
00:39:37.120 Both were whimpering and
00:39:38.260 whining and restless,
00:39:39.280 moving around under our
00:39:40.080 table.
00:39:40.400 They both smelled.
00:39:42.020 She then asked the waiter
00:39:42.920 to serve her dogs water,
00:39:44.340 so this old waiter had to
00:39:45.320 bend down to the ground
00:39:46.220 and place a container
00:39:46.960 there for them.
00:39:47.640 The dogs noisily slurped
00:39:48.800 the water.
00:39:49.900 Later, my mother joked
00:39:50.720 that she would walk their
00:39:51.900 table panting and barking
00:39:53.460 and coming inches from
00:39:54.300 their legs under the table
00:39:55.680 to give them a sense of
00:39:56.500 how we felt.
00:39:57.060 I once had a dog
00:39:58.840 trample on my picnic
00:39:59.860 and put its nose in my
00:40:00.900 food, and the owners
00:40:01.620 just said, don't worry,
00:40:02.800 she's friendly.
00:40:04.120 We're not, I replied.
00:40:05.900 I know people love their
00:40:06.900 dogs and can't imagine
00:40:07.720 why anyone else wouldn't,
00:40:08.940 but isn't there an
00:40:09.480 ethical responsibility
00:40:10.220 when you're in public to
00:40:11.200 respect people's private
00:40:12.320 spaces?
00:40:15.020 Yes, there is an
00:40:15.920 ethical responsibility.
00:40:17.160 The fault is 1,000
00:40:18.860 million percent on the
00:40:20.480 part of the dog owners
00:40:21.580 in these situations.
00:40:23.680 And let's start with
00:40:24.640 this.
00:40:24.880 Bringing your dog
00:40:25.780 into a restaurant
00:40:26.500 is insane behavior.
00:40:28.620 It is disgusting.
00:40:29.680 It's uncivilized.
00:40:30.920 What the hell are you
00:40:31.680 doing?
00:40:32.100 What are you thinking?
00:40:32.760 I took my kids out just
00:40:33.820 this past Monday, actually,
00:40:36.600 and I saw this.
00:40:38.360 Somebody walked past our
00:40:39.740 table with a dog on a
00:40:41.120 leash.
00:40:41.400 Not a service dog.
00:40:42.420 Okay, this was not a
00:40:43.260 blind person or someone
00:40:45.040 like that.
00:40:45.660 It was just a dog.
00:40:46.680 It was a dog dog, a
00:40:47.880 regular old dog, in the
00:40:49.700 restaurant where we are
00:40:51.260 eating.
00:40:52.560 And, I mean, it's out
00:40:53.920 of control.
00:40:54.420 It's beyond reasons,
00:40:55.700 beyond any notion of
00:40:57.140 common sense.
00:40:58.100 You want to own a dog?
00:40:59.220 Great.
00:40:59.680 I have, you know, I'm not,
00:41:00.840 I have a dog too.
00:41:01.840 It might surprise you to
00:41:02.580 learn.
00:41:05.300 I actually like my dog
00:41:06.660 most of the time.
00:41:07.880 She's a good dog, but you
00:41:09.060 know what I'm not going to
00:41:09.720 do?
00:41:09.980 I'm not going to inflict my
00:41:11.280 dog on anyone else.
00:41:12.140 I'm always very aware of
00:41:13.360 the fact that this dog is,
00:41:15.600 it's our dog.
00:41:16.240 It's our family's dog.
00:41:17.080 And, um, I'm not going
00:41:20.260 to force anyone ever to
00:41:23.200 like have to deal with
00:41:24.580 that if they don't want
00:41:25.960 to.
00:41:26.480 If we have guests over to
00:41:27.860 the house, unless they
00:41:29.560 specifically, like if they
00:41:30.860 love dogs and they want to
00:41:31.900 interact with a dog, then
00:41:32.800 great.
00:41:33.940 But I'm not going to do
00:41:34.760 that thing that's happened
00:41:35.580 to me a million times.
00:41:36.200 You go to someone's house
00:41:36.800 and they have a dog, the
00:41:37.340 dog's like jumping all
00:41:38.420 over you and they don't do
00:41:39.440 anything to stop the dog
00:41:40.560 from doing that.
00:41:41.760 It's like, why would you
00:41:42.700 think that I want, I don't
00:41:43.540 want your animal on you?
00:41:44.720 Like, can I not, is this,
00:41:45.840 is it unreasonable that I
00:41:47.200 don't want, I don't want
00:41:48.380 to have an animal crawling
00:41:50.140 all over me?
00:41:51.960 Um, but I'm very sensitive
00:41:53.400 to that.
00:41:53.940 So if someone comes over
00:41:54.980 again, we put the dog in
00:41:56.580 another room, unless they,
00:41:57.960 they say, oh, I want to go
00:41:58.860 say hi to the dog.
00:41:59.440 Well, great.
00:41:59.840 Then you can do that.
00:42:01.080 I'm not going to force you
00:42:02.040 to though.
00:42:03.780 Um, and, and we're not,
00:42:05.280 you know, we're not
00:42:06.460 bringing our dogs into, uh,
00:42:08.200 into, uh, you know, a
00:42:10.980 restaurant, a store into
00:42:12.240 places where, where dogs
00:42:13.280 don't belong.
00:42:14.380 There's no fundamental
00:42:15.940 difference, okay.
00:42:16.640 Between bringing a dog
00:42:17.980 into a restaurant and
00:42:19.900 bringing like a pig or a
00:42:22.240 goat, okay.
00:42:23.260 Into a restaurant.
00:42:24.180 It's the same idea.
00:42:25.440 It's the same thing.
00:42:27.840 Um, we might have this,
00:42:29.320 this rather arbitrary
00:42:30.680 hierarchy in our minds of
00:42:32.040 animals and dogs in our
00:42:34.860 minds are at the top of
00:42:35.900 it.
00:42:36.020 Cause we think dogs are the
00:42:37.000 cutest or whatever, but
00:42:37.900 they're still animals and
00:42:40.320 they're not really
00:42:40.740 fundamentally different from,
00:42:42.000 like I said, a goat or a
00:42:43.240 pig.
00:42:43.360 And if somebody, if I'm
00:42:44.620 sitting down at a, at a,
00:42:45.580 at a restaurant trying to,
00:42:46.940 you know, eat, uh, sitting
00:42:49.380 at an Italian restaurant,
00:42:50.540 eating some spaghetti and
00:42:51.500 somebody walks by with a
00:42:52.700 goat, everybody would be
00:42:55.760 disturbed by that.
00:42:56.500 But somehow with a dog, it's
00:42:57.660 supposed to be okay.
00:42:59.040 Um, they don't belong in
00:43:00.560 restaurants.
00:43:01.140 They don't belong in
00:43:02.000 stores.
00:43:02.800 And it still blows my mind
00:43:04.460 that I am made to feel like
00:43:07.580 I'm imposing on people when
00:43:09.240 when I bring my human
00:43:11.080 children into a restaurant.
00:43:13.660 Yet you've got these
00:43:15.120 psychopaths bringing entire
00:43:16.660 animals into restaurants,
00:43:17.940 turning the dining
00:43:18.760 experience into something
00:43:21.060 unhygienic and like
00:43:23.760 animalistic.
00:43:25.540 I'm at a restaurant.
00:43:26.520 Suddenly I feel like I'm at
00:43:27.380 the concession stand at the
00:43:28.780 zoo.
00:43:29.440 I feel like I'm with my
00:43:30.540 kids eating a $17 slice of
00:43:32.420 pizza at the zoo concession
00:43:33.920 stand.
00:43:34.420 And that's how I feel when
00:43:36.880 you bring your pet into a
00:43:37.760 restaurant.
00:43:38.320 So don't do it.
00:43:39.080 Stop doing it.
00:43:39.700 It's terrible.
00:43:41.000 How dare you?
00:43:42.540 Uh, let's get to the daily
00:43:43.740 cancellation.
00:43:50.440 Well, if you were smart
00:43:51.420 enough to avoid social media
00:43:52.640 over the weekend, then you
00:43:53.460 probably missed this brief
00:43:54.800 viral phenomenon.
00:43:56.420 There was a glitch, as it was
00:43:58.480 called anyway, at, um, Chase
00:44:00.360 Bank that allowed people to
00:44:02.760 withdraw more money than they
00:44:04.300 had in their accounts.
00:44:05.380 The glitch went viral thanks
00:44:06.560 to various TikTok videos of
00:44:08.140 people celebrating their
00:44:09.100 ill-gotten gains.
00:44:10.920 Here's one.
00:44:11.500 And I need you, and I miss you.
00:44:39.360 And now I wonder, and you know
00:44:44.520 I've broken down, and I'll just
00:44:49.260 save you tonight.
00:44:54.320 That's good.
00:44:56.040 I hope Vanessa Carlton sues them
00:44:58.040 for copyright infringement.
00:45:01.700 I, uh, I have to say I'm
00:45:04.640 shocked.
00:45:05.660 I'm shocked that those people
00:45:07.000 would steal money like that.
00:45:08.420 They seem so responsible and
00:45:09.740 productive.
00:45:10.940 Um, I, I do take solace in one
00:45:12.320 thing.
00:45:12.660 They will certainly invest their
00:45:13.760 money wisely and use it to
00:45:15.180 better themselves and their
00:45:16.240 community.
00:45:16.960 Of that I have no doubt.
00:45:18.360 These are without question the
00:45:19.340 future leaders of society.
00:45:20.700 I wouldn't be surprised if
00:45:21.400 someday soon all of the young
00:45:22.620 men in that video, um, are
00:45:24.880 employed as brain surgeons or
00:45:26.220 astronauts or even, or even
00:45:27.520 astronaut brain surgeons.
00:45:29.520 And I wish I was joking, but we
00:45:30.900 may actually reach that point.
00:45:31.880 It is, after all, the logical
00:45:32.940 endpoint of DEI.
00:45:34.260 The end point in more ways than
00:45:35.680 one is you on the operating
00:45:38.280 table, fading away from the
00:45:39.960 anesthesia.
00:45:40.760 And the last thing you see is
00:45:42.060 the kid from the Tik TOK video
00:45:43.360 where he was throwing money in
00:45:44.700 the air that he'd stolen from
00:45:45.720 Chase bank, standing over you
00:45:47.620 and holding a scalpel.
00:45:49.120 That's the image that you will
00:45:50.460 take with you into the great
00:45:52.300 beyond.
00:45:53.360 Now, anyway, if you're, if
00:45:54.460 you're wondering what the glitch
00:45:55.660 is here, uh, let me explain.
00:45:58.340 Evidently for a short period of
00:45:59.640 time over the weekend, Chase bank
00:46:00.940 customers were able to deposit a
00:46:02.500 fake check and then immediately
00:46:04.480 withdraw the funds that didn't
00:46:06.260 really exist.
00:46:07.620 Now, smart people in the
00:46:08.500 audience, or even just people
00:46:09.440 with IQs above room temperature
00:46:11.160 immediately recognize that this
00:46:12.940 glitch is actually just garden
00:46:14.500 variety fraud.
00:46:16.380 Not just any fraud, but the
00:46:17.760 absolute dumbest kind of fraud
00:46:19.480 you can ever commit.
00:46:20.560 You are perpetrating fraud against
00:46:21.920 an institution that has all of
00:46:23.780 your information, your name,
00:46:25.060 address, social security number,
00:46:26.820 and, and will know exactly what
00:46:29.100 you did, who you are, and how to
00:46:30.700 find you.
00:46:32.060 Not to mention they control your
00:46:33.460 bank account.
00:46:35.000 This is like robbing a bank
00:46:36.260 without a mask and wearing a
00:46:37.720 t-shirt that has a big picture of
00:46:39.120 your driver's license printed on
00:46:40.540 it.
00:46:40.720 It is, in a word, dumb.
00:46:42.140 Very, very dumb.
00:46:43.740 Here's the independent with more
00:46:44.900 quote, in a not so shocking
00:46:46.180 development, a viral TikTok trend
00:46:47.640 once again proved to be little
00:46:48.960 more than a stupid stunt that
00:46:50.180 ruined the lives of the
00:46:51.000 impressionable.
00:46:51.920 The trend involved people taking
00:46:53.000 advantage of a glitch in JPMorgan
00:46:54.700 Chase ATMs that allowed users to
00:46:56.600 deposit a check without the
00:46:57.600 available funds and immediately
00:46:58.460 have access to the money listed
00:46:59.680 on it.
00:47:00.500 This is check fraud, but was
00:47:01.900 shared across TikTok as a fun
00:47:03.360 way to grab free money.
00:47:04.620 In reality, Chase really did have
00:47:05.920 a glitch allowing the
00:47:07.060 exploitation of its ATMs, but the
00:47:08.360 company fixed the problem within
00:47:09.280 days of its discovery.
00:47:11.080 According to a representative who
00:47:12.100 spoke to the New York Post,
00:47:13.400 we're aware of this incident and
00:47:14.360 has been addressed regardless of
00:47:15.380 what you see online, depositing a
00:47:16.520 fraudulent check and withdrawing
00:47:17.880 the funds from your account is
00:47:18.920 fraud, plain and simple.
00:47:20.400 The spokesperson said once the
00:47:21.560 glitch was fixed, Chase began to
00:47:22.900 rectify the fraudulent withdrawals by
00:47:24.420 deducting the stolen cash from
00:47:25.860 users' accounts.
00:47:26.600 Now, I'll note here that there
00:47:28.860 was a separate rash of TikTok
00:47:31.460 videos, viral TikToks, from users
00:47:33.720 showing their accounts massively in
00:47:36.320 the red, sometimes to the tune of
00:47:37.700 $20,000 or $30,000 or more, because
00:47:40.280 they'd taken advantage of the glitch.
00:47:43.160 And then the bank came and took its
00:47:45.160 money back, as it's going to do.
00:47:46.880 It's not clear to me which of those
00:47:48.420 videos are real.
00:47:49.380 There's some indication that at least
00:47:50.500 some of them are fake.
00:47:51.980 Which leaves us with another
00:47:53.280 conundrum, which is dumber, making a
00:47:56.500 video confessing that you committed
00:47:58.220 check fraud and showing everyone
00:48:00.060 your negative balance, or making a
00:48:02.620 video pretending that you committed
00:48:04.300 check fraud and showing a negative
00:48:05.740 balance that doesn't exist?
00:48:07.180 Is it stupider to be a low-rent
00:48:09.100 fraudster or to pretend you are one
00:48:11.880 for engagement?
00:48:12.940 It's impossible to say.
00:48:15.000 All we can say is that nobody in
00:48:16.420 either group should be allowed to vote
00:48:18.160 or drive a car or walk around outside
00:48:21.480 without a chaperone.
00:48:23.440 Here's a little more from the article.
00:48:24.840 Quote, Jim Wang, a financial educator
00:48:27.640 who spoke to the New York Post, warned
00:48:29.220 that people who took advantage of the
00:48:30.680 glitch could face severe consequences.
00:48:32.560 He told the outlet that those who tried
00:48:34.640 are now seeing big holds or huge
00:48:36.200 negative balances in their accounts.
00:48:37.740 Wang warned people who tried it could
00:48:39.700 get into huge trouble for essentially
00:48:42.120 committing check fraud.
00:48:44.240 Yeah, you would think, Jim.
00:48:46.120 You would assume that they'd be in huge
00:48:47.280 trouble for committing check fraud
00:48:48.400 openly and filming themselves doing it,
00:48:50.340 but I think you're probably mistaken.
00:48:51.500 I doubt that anyone will get in
00:48:52.820 trouble, actually.
00:48:53.480 Sure, the bank will take its money
00:48:54.560 back.
00:48:54.860 You can count on that.
00:48:55.640 Banks are not going to take any pity
00:48:57.340 on you.
00:48:58.280 Banks and the IRS are very much alike
00:49:00.640 in this way.
00:49:01.180 They're going to get their money one
00:49:02.540 way or another.
00:49:03.500 That much you can count on.
00:49:05.260 I mean, in the IRS's case, it isn't
00:49:06.760 their money, it's yours, but they're
00:49:08.520 going to get your money either way.
00:49:09.980 That part is certain.
00:49:11.400 But will there be criminal charges?
00:49:14.140 I doubt it.
00:49:15.140 I mean, that's not usually how this
00:49:16.420 works.
00:49:18.180 Maybe if the TikTok videos were mostly
00:49:20.380 white frat boys taking advantage of the
00:49:22.400 glitch, then the force of law would come
00:49:24.220 down on them.
00:49:25.200 But the demographics don't line up for
00:49:26.820 that kind of response, and that means
00:49:28.780 that most likely nothing will happen.
00:49:31.040 And it's frustrating because this is the
00:49:32.960 kind of brazen, shameless, shockingly
00:49:35.360 casual criminality that would be so easy,
00:49:38.660 incredibly, supremely easy to stop.
00:49:41.500 It could be shut down without much effort.
00:49:43.680 Some semblance of order could be restored
00:49:45.540 to our society.
00:49:46.360 We could have accountability again.
00:49:48.100 And you can do that just by enforcing the law
00:49:50.820 is all.
00:49:52.200 When there's a TikTok trend that consists of
00:49:54.060 people committing check fraud, all you have
00:49:55.640 to do is make a point of arresting everybody
00:49:58.040 involved and charging them with every crime you
00:49:59.840 can, followed by the max sentences.
00:50:01.720 Bring down the hammer.
00:50:02.920 Do it publicly.
00:50:03.720 Find criminals like this and make an example
00:50:05.580 out of them.
00:50:07.400 Law and order could be restored in no time.
00:50:10.240 But they won't do it because they don't
00:50:12.820 want law and order.
00:50:13.920 They want chaos.
00:50:15.620 And that's what they'll get, along with a lot
00:50:17.580 more dumb TikTok videos.
00:50:19.680 And that's why the people exploiting the
00:50:21.800 Chase Bank glitch and the people not holding
00:50:24.700 those people accountable are all today
00:50:27.000 canceled.
00:50:29.060 That'll do it for the show today.
00:50:29.800 Thanks for watching.
00:50:30.300 Thanks for listening.
00:50:30.980 Talk to you tomorrow.
00:50:32.320 Have a great day.
00:50:33.060 Godspeed.
00:50:33.400 Republicans or Nazis, you cannot separate
00:50:43.240 yourselves from the bad white people.
00:50:45.560 Growing up, I never thought much about race.
00:50:47.460 Never really seemed to matter that much.
00:50:49.320 At least not to me.
00:50:50.140 Am I racist?
00:50:51.320 I would really appreciate it if you love.
00:50:52.600 I'm trying to learn along this journey.
00:50:54.580 I'm going to sort this out.
00:50:55.860 I need to go deeper undercover.
00:50:58.860 They don't say I'm racist.
00:51:00.360 Joining us now is Matt, certified DEIX.
00:51:03.400 Here's my certifications.
00:51:04.980 What you're doing is you're stretching out of your whiteness.
00:51:07.680 This is more for you than this for you.
00:51:08.660 Is America inherently racist?
00:51:10.200 The word inherent is challenging there.
00:51:12.200 I want to rename the George Washington Monument
00:51:13.720 to the George Floyd Monument.
00:51:15.320 America is racist to its bones.
00:51:17.200 So inherently.
00:51:18.060 Yeah, this country is a piece of...
00:51:19.780 White folks.
00:51:22.220 Trash.
00:51:22.720 White supremacy.
00:51:23.500 White woman.
00:51:24.080 White boy.
00:51:24.600 Is there a black person around here?
00:51:25.900 What's a black person right here?
00:51:27.240 Does he not exist?
00:51:28.000 They don't say I'm racist.
00:51:29.960 Hi, Robin.
00:51:30.560 Hi.
00:51:30.920 What's your name?
00:51:31.880 I'm Matt.
00:51:32.300 I just had to ask who you are
00:51:33.400 because you have to be careful.
00:51:35.000 Never be too careful.
00:51:35.880 They gonna say you're racist.
