00:00:00.000Today on the Matt Walsh Show, Brazil has essentially abolished free speech in its country as it shuts down X to prevent people from criticizing the government.
00:00:06.860You'd think the defenders of quote-unquote democracy in this country would condemn that sort of thing, but instead they're cheering it on.
00:00:12.900Also, Tim Walsh's own family apparently isn't excited about the prospect of him being in the White House.
00:00:17.860A new report suggests that our phones really are eavesdropping on us,
00:00:20.880and a rash of TikTok influencers have been groveling and apologizing recently for allegedly racist tweets from years ago.
00:00:27.220We'll talk about all that and more today on the Matt Walsh Show.
00:00:30.000In just eight days, my new movie Am I Racist hits theaters nationwide.
00:00:58.780I infiltrated the left's DEI circus, and it's more absurd than you could possibly imagine.
00:01:03.140The only way to truly appreciate it is on the big screen, so go to amiracist.com for tickets and showtimes now.
00:01:09.980You know what really grinds my gears, as they say?
00:01:12.880The illusion of privacy in our digital age.
00:01:15.260You know all those times you've used incognito mode thinking that you're browsing in secret?
00:01:18.760Well, you're about as hidden as a neon sign in Times Square.
00:03:50.760He has unilaterally ordered a total ban on Elon Musk's social media platform, X.
00:03:56.020Nobody in Brazil, a country where more than 20 million people used X, is legally allowed to use the platform anymore.
00:04:02.940Anybody caught using a VPN to bypass this restriction can be fined roughly $9,000 per day,
00:04:08.300which is about six times the average Brazilian's monthly salary.
00:04:12.040Additionally, de Moraes has fined X more than $3 million as well.
00:04:15.920He's also frozen the assets of Elon Musk's company Starlink, which provides internet access to hundreds of thousands of Brazilians living in remote areas.
00:04:23.980The point was to compel Starlink, an independent internet provider, to ban X as well.
00:04:29.060And on top of that, the Brazilian court system is now pressuring SpaceX, even though they have nothing, obviously, to do with X.
00:04:37.320So SpaceX now has to pull employees out of Brazil.
00:04:41.360The judge has gone to war with X for a very simple reason.
00:04:44.280The company refused to block certain accounts that, in the eyes of the Brazilian government, harmed democratic institutions in Brazil.
00:04:50.920And then, X refused to appoint an in-person local legal representative in Brazil because the judge had threatened to arrest the representative to extract concessions from X.
00:05:00.020So, in order to protect democratic institutions, quote-unquote, supposedly,
00:05:04.780tens of millions of Brazilians can no longer access the single most popular news app in the country.
00:05:10.140They've turned to the corporate press to learn what they're allowed to hear.
00:05:13.540Only approved narratives are allowed in Brazil right now.
00:05:16.320Now, for Elon Musk, the showdown in Brazil is obviously a major test.
00:05:20.900He's long maintained that he'll obey the laws of whatever countries his companies are operating in.
00:05:27.360But he maintains that Brazil's judges are violating Brazil's constitution, which isn't exactly a hard case to make at this point.
00:05:34.560This week, The Economist took a closer look at the judge who issued this order against X and Starlink.
00:05:44.580He is a man who likes and understands power.
00:05:47.040He has extensive contacts in the federal police, military, and intelligence services.
00:05:51.040Other decisions have made the court look authoritarian.
00:05:53.980In 2019, Mr. Morais was put in charge of investigating misinformation about the Supreme Court and threats against the court's members and their relatives.
00:06:01.440These had spiked after the election of Mr. Bolsonaro.
00:06:04.360The fake news inquiry was contentious from the start.
00:06:06.820So, this is a violation of one of the most basic principles of every functioning legal system, which is that courts are only supposed to resolve legal disputes that are brought to them.
00:06:37.700Some party, whether it's a citizen or the government or some other entity, needs to bring a case to the courts.
00:06:42.980And then the courts rule on the case that's brought to them.
00:06:45.960Once the courts have the authority to generate cases on their own and make up arbitrary rules to enforce, then they're not really courts anymore.
00:06:54.760Instead of judges, you have de facto dictators.
00:06:57.400And that's what's happening right now to Elon Musk and his companies in Brazil.
00:07:00.280Now, you'd hope that an incident like this would trigger immediate condemnations from the State Department in this country.
00:07:06.940After all, the Biden administration claims to care very deeply about democracy.
00:07:10.740It's essentially all they really talk about now.
00:07:13.660But there's been no condemnation for the mainstream left in this country.
00:07:16.460In fact, if you listen to the corporate press, you'll find a handful of reports essentially blaming Elon Musk for objecting to what the courts in Brazil are doing.
00:07:22.700Here, for example, is the BBC, which for some reason is pretending that Taylor Lorenz, who openly hates Elon Musk, is an impartial expert on this topic.
00:08:06.180So he's kind of on this, had this sort of a showdown.
00:08:10.260He could have prevented this ban, and he chose not to.
00:08:14.580He could have prevented the ban, but he chose not to, she says.
00:08:17.900Notice how the Brazilian government, which just shut down an entire social media app for millions of people, has no agency in Taylor Lorenz's analysis.
00:08:26.660A private company refused to do the bidding of the Brazilian government, and therefore it's the private company's fault that they got shut down.
00:08:33.760That's how Taylor Lorenz, who works for The Washington Post, is selling this decision by the Brazilian Supreme Court.
00:08:38.660It's how the BBC is presenting the news.
00:08:41.660It's not hard to see what's going on here.
00:08:43.400Brazil is the template for mass censorship in the United States.
00:08:48.580And if they can pull it off in Brazil, they're going to try to pull it off here.
00:08:51.560That's why the corporate press is presenting Elon Musk as the villain in this scenario.
00:08:55.460The media has a vested interest in shutting down X because it's one of their biggest competitors.
00:09:00.840Random posts on X get more viewers than CNN's entire primetime lineup.
00:09:06.480So in order to lay the groundwork for shutting down X in this country, they're saying that Elon Musk basically had it coming in Brazil.
00:09:16.400And it's not just the media that's trying to send this message.
00:09:19.480Senior figures in the Democrat Party are doing it too.
00:09:21.620For example, Keith Ellison is the attorney general of the state of Minnesota.
00:09:27.020He's the chief legal officer of a major state.
00:09:29.860He's also closely aligned with Kamala Harris's campaign.
00:09:32.140He just spoke at the DNC a few weeks ago as well.
00:09:34.600And here's what Keith Ellison says about what's happening to Elon Musk's companies in Brazil.
00:09:40.920Again, Keith Ellison is not some backbench politician from a no-name congressional district.
00:09:50.540He's the chief law officer of Minnesota.
00:09:52.640And he's endorsing the total shutdown of a major social media platform because it wouldn't censor the political opponents of the government.
00:10:01.760Politicians like Keith Ellison crave censorship because they're corrupt.
00:10:06.700They only care about power and they're willing to lie in order to get it.
00:10:09.960Remember what Keith Ellison did during the George Floyd riots.
00:10:12.360Ellison's office hid body cam footage showing that George Floyd said,
00:10:15.980I can't breathe several times while he was struggling with cops in the backseat of the police cruiser long before he was on the ground with a knee near his neck.
00:10:25.140It was obviously irrelevant information because it suggested that Floyd was having a fatal overdose and that he couldn't breathe because he had taken a lethal quantity of fentanyl.
00:10:31.820So Keith Ellison's office suppressed the footage.
00:10:35.680Democrats like Keith Ellison want total control of social media platforms like SX so they can suppress information like that even more often and even more easily.
00:10:45.980They want to be able to shut down any information or opinions that contradict their preferred narrative.
00:10:51.300And that's why they're thrilled with what's happening in Brazil.
00:10:55.100It's also why they have no problem with what the Biden administration is doing to Tulsi Gabbard right now.
00:10:59.660Gabbard has emerged as one of the most effective critics of the modern Democrat Party.
00:11:03.300She has what no prominent Democrat has, which is integrity.
00:11:05.880She was on the fast track to be a senior official in the Democrat Party, even serving as vice chair of the DNC.
00:11:11.440But she threw all that away because she wanted to follow her principles, particularly concerning foreign affairs, instead of seeking power.
00:11:16.960So Tulsi Gabbard can't be controlled by party elites.
00:11:39.220I spoke out about how dangerous Kamala Harris would be to our nation if she were to be elected as president and why the American people should be very concerned.
00:11:48.160Now, just before boarding a flight on July 23rd, my husband and I were pulled aside for additional TSA screening.
00:11:55.560Our electronics were swabbed for traces of explosives.
00:11:58.880And when we landed, my husband was pulled aside for another round of additional screening.
00:12:04.000On the next several flights that we took, our boarding passes were marked with the Quad S.
00:12:09.220And we were subjected to in-depth searches by the TSA every single time, each time taking 30 to 45 minutes.
00:12:18.640On August 4th, Federal Air Marshal whistleblowers came forward with very disturbing information.
00:12:24.120They revealed that I had been added to a secret terror watch list run by the TSA called Quiet Skies on July 23rd.
00:12:32.900This is the very same day my husband and I began to be subjected to those in-depth TSA searches.
00:12:39.140Now, in a sane country, this would be leading every nightly newscast in the United States.
00:12:48.380I mean, there's no reason for a political figure like Tulsi Gabbard to be placed on any kind of terror watch list, obviously,
00:12:56.280or to receive 30 minutes of extra screening every time she tries to fly.
00:12:59.680The only conceivable explanation is that this is a federal program intended to harass and intimidate her because she's not following the party line.
00:13:09.460So they call her a terrorist for that reason.
00:13:12.640But she's able to speak freely about what's happening to her on X, at least for now.
00:13:17.120That's the platform where Tulsi Gabbard posted the video I just showed you.
00:13:19.800It's where she and many other political dissidents in many other countries can speak their minds for the most part.
00:13:27.020At the very least, it's a freer platform than any of the alternatives.
00:13:30.120And that's why the government in both this country and Brazil wants to shut X down.
00:13:34.140It's also why France is trying to shut Telegram down and jail its founder.
00:13:37.960We're in the middle of a historic war on the freedom of speech in countries where it would have been unthinkable just a few years ago.
00:13:43.560If they're allowed to succeed in places like Brazil and France, it's not going to be long until they try the same thing here.
00:13:51.240Our constitution isn't going to protect us if the people in charge just decide to ignore it.
00:13:57.000Brazil and France have constitutions that supposedly protect the freedom of speech.

00:15:12.420Here's a story from the Postmillennial.
00:15:14.020The Washington State Department of Health has released a taxpayer-funded report claiming white people didn't care that people of color were dying during the pandemic.
00:15:24.340A document that provided no sources to back up the outrageous claim.
00:15:28.000The DOH posted a chorus of COVID voices from the front lines on X claiming the Insight report would help us all reflect on lessons learned during the pandemic.
00:15:40.440Funding for the report was provided in part through a grant from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
00:15:44.600According to the report, sometimes white people disengaged on safety when they learned people of color needed help.
00:15:51.360However, the document provided no sources to substantiate the claim or any others made throughout the report.
00:15:56.900Ironically, after making the racist and divisive claim, the report added,
00:15:59.740Don't foster divisions in our community.
00:16:04.000Cover of the report included images of protesters who rallied in large groups during the pandemic despite the stay-at-home orders.
00:16:09.820The report demanded that the DOH use COVID as an opportunity to invest in youth of color and incarcerated youth by celebrating their gifts in ways that don't stigmatize or typify them when society fails them.
00:16:26.860So I wanted to start with this from the Postmillennial because this is what, and there are a million examples of this that pop up every day.
00:16:33.440This is just the latest, but this is what the anti-racist grift is all about.
00:16:36.860It's part of what we're trying to expose in our film, Am I Racist, premiering September 13th.
00:17:36.240It's one of the things that jumped out at me the most making the film and talking to these people, being in the room with them,
00:17:42.640this insistence that they can read our minds, that they can tell us what we're thinking.
00:17:49.280And the thoughts that they try to put in our minds, that they project onto us, are often just incredibly absurd.
00:17:58.040I remember we talked to one woman who doesn't appear in the film because it's only 90 minutes and you have to cut a lot of stuff out, unfortunately.
00:18:05.280There's like a five-hour cut of this film that we could put out there.
00:18:07.680But anyway, we talked to some DEI consultant.
00:18:11.600Kate Slater, the woman you saw in the clip yesterday, ended up basically taking her place in the movie.
00:18:19.440And we kind of interviewed a few people for that slot, that first interview slot.
00:18:26.360But anyway, with this woman, I had kind of an extended back and forth on this very point.
00:18:32.260Because she was going on and on about unconscious bias, the racism and prejudice that lives in your unconscious mind.
00:18:43.620She had a whole system that she invented explaining your unconscious mind to you.
00:18:52.440And I kept trying to get her to explain how could she be in a position to tell me what I'm thinking.
00:19:36.900You don't realize that it's happening.
00:19:41.480Because it's in your mind, but it's unconscious.
00:19:44.080And then, well, it's like, okay, so if you're telling me there are thoughts in my head that I'm not thinking, which is already a bit of a problem.
00:20:13.700Okay, the Postmillennial also has this.
00:20:15.000Relatives of Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris's running mate Tim Walls appeared to be all in for GOP candidate Donald Trump with a photo showing members of the family posing in Trump shirts.
00:20:25.280The photo, posted to X by former Nebraska GOP gubernatorial candidate Charles W. Herbster, showed eight people posing for a photograph in front of a flag that read Trump 2024, take America back.
00:20:36.360Each of the family members sported a shirt that read Nebraska Walls' for Trump.
00:20:42.800Herbster wrote, Tim Walls' family back in Nebraska wants you to know something.
00:20:46.320Speaking with the Daily Mail, a representative for Herbster said that the people in the photograph are related to the Minnesota governor through his grandfather's brother.
00:20:56.480And this comes as Tim Walls' brother, Jeff, who lives in Florida, has spoken out on Facebook against his brother being in the White House.
00:23:21.600So, if my brother went insane, and this is inconceivable really, but if he went like insane and became a crazy leftist and ran for office and somehow made it high up in the ranks of the Democrat Party, I would never say a word criticizing him on this show or any other platform.
00:24:14.120This is one of the reasons why, if you think back to the Cuomos, you know, the scandal, supposed scandal with Chris Cuomo on CNN, where, you know, he got in trouble for, like, playing favorites with his brother and not, you know, not being critical of his brother and all of that.
00:24:40.380And I said at the time, Andrew Cuomo, terrible governor, terrible person, responsible for the deaths of, like, tens of thousands of people, awful, awful stuff.
00:24:52.260But, and Chris Cuomo, I can't say I'm a big fan.
00:25:15.120Here's an interesting report from the Daily Mail.
00:25:18.600Millions of people have long suspected it, but now a leak suggests that our phones really are listening to us.
00:25:24.900An apparent pitch deck from one of Facebook's alleged marketing partners appears to detail how the firm eavesdrops on users' conversations to create targeted ads.
00:25:34.800In a slideshow, Cox Media Group claims that its active listening software uses AI to collect and analyze real-time intent data by listening to what you say through your phone, laptop, or home assistant microphone.
00:25:52.300Advertisers can pair this voice data with behavioral data to target in-market consumers, the deck states.
00:25:57.440Pitch deck goes on to tout Facebook, Google, and Amazon as clients of CMG, suggesting they could be using its active listening service to target users.
00:26:07.480The pitch deck was leaked to reporters at 404 Media that showcased the capabilities of active listening software to prospective customers.
00:26:15.040Since the story broke, Google removed the media group from their partner's program website.
00:26:18.780In an emailed statement to DailyMail.com, a Meta spokesperson said,
00:26:23.920Meta does not use your phone's microphone for ads, and we've been public about this for years.
00:26:28.260We're reaching out to CMG to get them to clarify that their program is not based on Meta data.
00:26:35.000Amazon, rather, responded to 404 Media by stating that its ads has never worked with CMG on this program and has no plans to do so.
00:26:43.400The spokesperson added that if one of its marketing partners violates its rules, the company will take action, leaving the status of Amazon's relationship with CMG somewhat unclear.
00:26:53.020The slideshow details the six-step process that CMG's active listening software uses to collect consumers' voice data through seemingly any microphone-equipped device, including your smartphone, laptop, or home assistant.
00:27:04.420It's unclear from the slideshow whether the active listening software is eavesdropping constantly or only at specific times when the phone mic is activated, such as during a call.
00:27:14.540So, it's still not clear this program.
00:27:22.740Is it when you're talking on the phone, it's listening to what you're saying, or is it just listening all the time when you have your phone on you?
00:27:39.740And yet, I think that in the majority of cases, I still think that in the majority of cases, when your phone presents an advertisement to you that seems like it's reading your mind or listening to your conversations, right?
00:27:52.640Because, like, you were just talking about whatever, and then you go on your phone and you see an ad for it.
00:27:56.840We've all been through that a million times.
00:27:59.540And then you think, oh, it must be listening to me.
00:28:01.160Well, it's clear that, like, sometimes that has been happening.
00:28:04.400But I think in many cases that that's not the case.
00:28:07.280I think in many cases, when it serves up an ad where it seems like it was reading your mind or listening to you, it wasn't actually listening.
00:28:15.780What's actually happening in so many cases, I think, is so much worse than that.
00:28:22.540Because the truth is that the algorithms are predictive.
00:28:28.060And they predict what you want to see.
00:28:31.260They predict which products, which ads will be relevant to you.
00:28:35.320And they predict with great accuracy most of the time.
00:28:38.540And that's not because they're always listening to you, although, again, apparently that is happening also.
00:28:48.980But they don't even need to most of the time because they're tracking everything you do or say, post, click on, search for, look at on the Internet.
00:29:06.220That algorithms come up with a model, a predictive model, so that they can serve you advertisements and monetize you, monetize your existence, basically.
00:29:17.060And so there may be some actual eavesdropping going on.
00:29:20.700But to me, the far more terrifying thing is that they can serve you some ad about something you were just talking about without listening.
00:29:31.480That they can predict, basically, that you would be talking about this thing because the algorithms have tracked and categorized and cataloged you and have known so much about you based on tracking everything, you know, all of your movements on the Internet.
00:29:49.760That the algorithms have become that intrusive and that sort of accurate and they've pegged you to that extent.
00:29:59.820So I guess what I'm saying is that even if we get to a point where we can be sure the phones aren't listening, we still have not solved the problem, I suppose.
00:33:33.660For every childless man who became successful, I could show you 100 men with children who became successful.
00:33:40.420And in many cases, those successful men may not have become as successful as they did had they never started families.
00:33:50.020That's the truth in many of these cases.
00:33:57.840I know you've heard me say this many times, but in my case, before I had kids, I was stuck, you know, basically kind of treading water as a young man, as many young men do.
00:34:09.860And are right now, but, you know, when I was still single, I was just kind of like dreaming of the success I wanted to have in the future, but not seeing any real clear path to it.
00:34:21.400And I think lacking the ambition to pursue it in any kind of, in the way that it needed to be pursued.
00:34:34.960It wasn't until I got married and had kids that I began to really move towards those goals.
00:34:38.920And now, does that mean that if I never got married and had kids that I never would have found any success in life?
00:34:47.700Well, it's impossible to say, you know, that's a whole different life.
00:34:50.960That I could have lived, and it's impossible to say what that would have been.
00:34:54.760But I think most likely, the answer is, yes, there would have been a lot less success if I hadn't gotten married and had kids.
00:35:03.520Because that's been my, it's like my motivating, it's been my primary motivating force for the last 13 years.
00:35:11.680And for me, certainly, it was much more motivating than any kind of motivation I had prior to that.
00:35:21.720Because the problem is, when it's just you, and you're alone, yeah, you want to be able to take care of yourself, you want to live a good life for yourself, fine.
00:35:36.200But that's just not enough for most people.
00:35:39.720And especially, I think especially as a man, because the truth is, like, if it's just me, I don't, you know, I can, I can get by, I don't need much.
00:36:59.740I'm not sure you understand what these words mean, but, you know, we won't belabor that point.
00:37:05.920She continues, sadly, if you watch the trailer for this movie, you'll be disappointed to learn that it isn't someone making fun of Matt Walsh.
00:37:11.800No, instead, it's the actual bad Matt Walsh thinking he's unpacking what being racist means by mocking the liberal ideology that we should unlearn racism.
00:37:20.740Can we get the good Matt Walsh making a movie, making fun of the bad one, please?
00:37:55.660The point he's seemingly trying to make is that the people who are labeled racist do not think about race as often as the people applying the label might think.
00:39:20.100Of course racists don't think they're being racist.
00:39:22.220The point most people who are actively trying to promote anti-racist texts slash ideals are making is that these people are ignorant of their own racism, and they don't care to change it.
00:39:31.280Walsh is basically proving that through this absurd documentary.
00:39:34.060But he's too lost in his own racism to recognize that.
00:39:36.740The logline for the movie is as follows.
00:39:39.220Daily Wire host and filmmaker Matt Walsh transforms himself into a certified diversity, equity, and inclusion expert, only to uncover a world where profit, not principle, drives the agenda.
00:39:46.600So, I guess that what Walsh is attempting to do is show how inclusive spaces don't love when a white man rolls in and demands they answer his asinine questions.
00:39:56.500I don't understand what the point of this movie is outside of Walsh and his little cronies at the Daily Wire laughing that people who are actively trying to be better people.
00:40:29.980By the way, an hour and 41 minutes is pretty short, especially by, I mean, 90 minutes is like where you want to land.
00:40:36.140Hour 41 is where we ended up pretty, these days especially, when you've got Marvel movies that are like six and a half hours long, pretty short.
00:40:46.720What I love about this is that it reads like a review of the film.
00:40:49.780A very poorly written review, very poorly written, but except the author hasn't watched the film because it's not out yet.
00:40:57.460And we haven't, we did not send the Mary Sue a screener for the film.
00:41:03.740I'll send, I'll send them a screener so they can see it and complain about it even more.
00:41:08.980All I can say, Rachel, is that if you're offended by the trailer and just the concept or the conceit of the film, how little you understand it, just wait until you see the movie.
00:41:23.920That's my, that's what I can tell you.
00:41:26.620I do want to address one thing she says, though.
00:41:28.500She says, the point most people who are actively trying to promote anti-racist tech slash ideals are making is that these people are ignorant of their own racism and they don't care to change it.
00:41:38.980Again, a very poorly constructed sentence, difficult to understand.
00:41:43.860But from what I can interpret of it, it does go right back to what we talked about a minute ago, that these people think they can read your mind.
00:42:57.180It's like saying that this person thinks that they don't like vanilla ice cream, but only because they're ignorant of the fact that they do like vanilla ice cream.
00:45:32.920Now let's get to our daily cancellation.
00:45:34.360Well, you know, I may be a certified DEI instructor now, and I may have a new movie coming out called Am I Racist?
00:45:46.600But even given my vast and impressive expertise in the field of anti-racism and equity, I have to admit that there are still some trends in the space that can escape my notice.
00:45:57.800After all, no one man can possibly keep track of all the new and varied developments in anti-racism, even somebody as qualified as myself.
00:46:04.420So it was with some surprise that I saw this tweet the other day from my friend Brett Cooper here at The Daily Wire.
00:46:40.440Now, Alex Earle, if you're not familiar, and I certainly wasn't, is apparently a breakout social media star who became famous for posting videos about her life as a college student at the University of Miami.
00:46:58.580Why? Why that's interesting to anybody? Like, that's who, why would it, it sounds like the least interesting, her life as a college student at the University of Miami.
00:47:08.580Who cares? What? Why would anyone want to see that? But anyway, people did, and so she's a breakout star.
00:47:15.480Here's how the article describes her crimes against humanity.
00:47:18.160So, earlier this week, the popular podcaster broke her silence on screenshots from when she was 13 that show her using a racial slur, which have been circulating online.
00:47:27.320Earl, unless it's supposed to be early, I don't know, it's E-A-R-L-E. I assume the E is silent.
00:47:33.700Confirmed the screenshots were real and apologized for her word choices as a teen.
00:47:37.540The screenshots were shared as far back as two years ago, but started gaining traction earlier this month.
00:47:41.620Earl said that she received advice to not address the issue and accept her responsibility for not speaking out until now.
00:47:48.160So, a woman who's now 23 years old has been badgered into apologizing for a couple of posts she made when she was 13.
00:47:55.520Before I even get into what the post said, there's no conceivable way that this should be a story in a national newspaper.
00:48:01.820It should even be a story in a gossip blog.
00:48:04.400I mean, it's obviously transparently insane to care what any 23-year-old anywhere in the world said when that person was 13 years old.
00:48:11.260I mean, I don't even care what a 23-year-old says when they're 23, much less when they're 13.
00:48:16.240Every single 13-year-old on the planet has said, like, many stupid things in their lives, and that's been true throughout history.
00:48:25.760There's no reason to care about what 13-year-olds say just because technology now allows us to access their past statements anytime we want.
00:48:33.900There is literally nothing that a 13-year-old could ever say, no matter how terrible, that I would consider at all relevant when that 13-year-old is an adult.
00:48:45.960I don't care if they're, like, calling for a genocide or something.
00:48:48.680All I need to know is, oh, they were 13?
00:49:21.060She used the variant of the N-word that ends in A when she was barely a teenager, and she wasn't trying to attack anyone for their race while she was doing it.
00:49:29.640And yet this apparently triggered a scandal that went on for a very long time in the TikTok community, culminating in this apology slash hostage video.
00:49:38.000First off, I want to say, before I get into blabbing more about me, that I am so, so sorry to everyone in the Black community and the Black community in my audience that I let down.
00:49:51.700I just want to say, and I just want to put this out here for you guys, that that's not who I am as a person.
00:50:03.940I don't want any young girls watching this and thinking that because I haven't said anything, I think it's okay or that it's cool or whatever.
00:50:48.660And if we're going to start canceling people for stuff they did when they were 13, we might as well, we might as well bring up how they behaved in kindergarten.
00:51:07.800Of course, the point of this whole charade is to assert the dominance of the ideology that underpins DEI, which demands your total acquiescence at all times.
00:51:38.380Earlier this week, a number of past racially insensitive tweets made by Schofield resurfaced after they were published by the popular celebrity gossip account Pop Crave.
00:51:47.660In a string of posts, Schofield argued that the death of Martin, Trayvon Martin, at the hands of George Zimmerman, who was then a member of the Florida community's Neighborhood Watch, wasn't the result of racial profiling.
00:51:58.400Guarantee if Zimmerman shot a white guy, this wouldn't even be a story, she tweeted on July 14th, 2013.
00:52:03.040News flashed, this wasn't a crime of racism, it was self-defense.
00:52:08.060So, that's what, I don't know who this Schofield person is, but it's another social media star, I guess.
00:52:27.680A jury acquitted Zimmerman because they agreed that he acted in self-defense.
00:52:30.520And yes, if Trayvon Martin had been white, Barack Obama would not have given a weepy press conference about how Trayvon Martin could have been his son.
00:52:37.680There would have been no national outrage.
00:52:39.740Like, no one would have ever heard him.
00:52:41.000We never would have heard the guy's name if he was white.
00:54:22.280And, you know, all the sympathy, of course, that I have, that I could have for you for being the target of cancel culture and the outrage mob.
00:54:31.780Like, all the sympathy goes out the window when you apologize.
00:54:35.300And, like, you deserve all the backlash and outrage.
00:54:39.340At that point, once you cave to it, it's like, now I can't defend you anymore because you're not going to defend yourself.
00:54:45.320So, and then she throws her own family under the bus as part of this.
00:54:51.000The rest of the video goes on like that.
00:54:52.240She attacks her grandfather for being a right-wing conservative man who listened to Fox News all the time.
00:54:57.220Apparently, Fox News reported that George Zimmerman acted in self-defense.
00:54:59.860And even though that was clearly correct information, it was still bad for her grandfather to have Fox News on because Fox News is on, you know, the wrong team.
00:55:07.060And these are the people who adopted her.
00:55:55.760But apparently, Schofield is being let back on the podcast now that she's apologized.
00:56:00.180Now that she's affirmed the lie that George Zimmerman didn't act in self-defense, she can keep her job.
00:56:05.740So now that she's affirmed, now that she's signaled that she's dumber now than she was 10 years ago, she's allowed back into the fold a little bit.
00:56:15.880There's one last case I want to talk about involving the YouTube star, Mr. Beast.
00:56:19.160And as I've discussed recently, Mr. Beast has a lot of problems right now.
00:56:21.460His trans-identified co-host, Chris Tyson, was just accused of sending sexually explicit messages to a child.
00:56:28.260And given that Mr. Beast offended that co-host for years, and given that a lot of other credible related allegations are coming out,
00:56:34.860there's no reason for anyone to ever allow their child to watch a Mr. Beast video ever again.
00:56:39.680But what I'm talking about now is the reporting from CNN about a separate incident.
00:57:46.160On the other hand, Mr. Beast joking around with his fans seven years ago didn't hurt anyone.
00:57:51.280No one thought about any of it, you know, until now.
00:57:56.100And that illustrates a broader point, which is that one of the roles of these outrage mobs is to gin up fake hysteria over things that don't matter.
00:58:03.320So that people don't notice what's happening right in front of them.
00:58:08.140We are a country where racism is so uncommon that outrage mobs now have to pretend to be offended by the tweets of 13-year-old children 10 years after the fact.
00:58:16.180It makes a lot of so-called anti-racist experts furious when you point that out because it destroys their whole grift.
00:58:23.320But this particular DEI-certified anti-race expert has no problem saying it.
00:58:28.800And that's why all of the outrage mobs trying to cancel TikTok influencers for their ancient social media posts are themselves today canceled.
