00:00:00.000 What do you feel in your body when you hear the term white people?
00:00:05.720 I feel like a cringe about it.
00:00:08.520 White, straight, cisgender, man, it's the top of the pile.
00:00:11.820 I'm on the top of the pile. It's me.
00:00:14.200 Can I just propose a toast?
00:00:15.700 Raise a glass if you're racist.
00:00:17.380 It's a racist.
00:00:19.400 That was really weird.
00:00:21.100 Don't deny that you're racist.
00:00:22.420 Try not to be racist, but also don't realize that you're...
00:00:25.080 Until we're willing to talk about these things,
00:00:26.840 healing can't really begin.
00:00:27.940 My daughter's four years old.
00:00:28.960 She's still watching Disney movies and choosing a white princess.
00:00:32.220 Have you talked to her about that?
00:00:33.180 All the time.
00:00:34.060 Is racism inherent to whiteness?
00:00:36.440 Yes.
00:00:36.840 Yeah, probably.
00:00:38.020 Well, yeah.
00:00:39.100 Joining us now is Matt, certified DEI expert.
00:00:42.540 Did race exist as a reality before?
00:00:44.460 We made race exist.
00:00:45.940 Does that make sense?
00:00:46.740 It does make sense.
00:00:47.900 What do you mean?
00:00:48.520 What you're doing is you're stretching out of your whiteness.
00:00:51.840 This is more for you and less for you.
00:00:54.280 Am I racist?
00:00:55.700 In theaters this Friday.
00:00:57.760 Rated PG-13.
00:00:58.960 Today on the Matt Wall Show, there's been major outrage this week over an alleged police brutality

00:02:59.760 It was just a few months ago that police in Chicago attempted to pull over a man named Dexter Reed for driving with illegally tinted windows.
00:03:07.780 And I talked about this incident on the show at the time when the media was trying to turn Reed into the next George Floyd.
00:03:13.440 As soon as the traffic stop began, Reed began acting suspiciously.
00:03:17.100 He repeatedly refused officers' commands to lower his window so they could see what was going on inside his car.
00:03:22.760 And then he raised the tinted window to completely obstruct the officer's view of the inside of the vehicle.
00:03:27.380 And then, within seconds, Dexter Reed opened fire.
00:03:31.040 Watch.
00:03:32.500 Do not roll the window up.
00:03:34.640 Chicago police officers were in the middle of a traffic stop last month.
00:03:38.440 Unlock the doors now.
00:03:40.140 When they say 26-year-old Dexter Reed, driving a white SUV, did not comply with their commands.
00:03:46.620 Unlock the doors now.
00:03:48.080 A civilian review board investigating the incident says Reed fired first.
00:03:53.640 Shots fired.
00:03:54.540 Now, police officers train on footage like this all the time.
00:04:00.300 There are hundreds of videos like it all over the Internet.
00:04:02.600 And they all tell the same story, which is this.
00:04:05.040 When the police pull somebody over and that person attempts to hide what he's doing, then the situation has just become extremely dangerous.
00:04:12.100 All traffic stops involve some level of risk.
00:04:15.140 But when somebody rolls up a tinted window instead of complying, that risk gets exponentially higher.
00:04:21.260 That's especially true when the suspect has a criminal history.
00:04:23.820 So police have no choice but to respond quickly and decisively and potentially with force because they're in a life-threatening situation.
00:04:31.580 Otherwise, they might get shot and killed before they can even see what's coming.
00:04:36.040 And as I said at the time, there was an attempt to portray Dexter Reed as some kind of BLM martyr.
00:04:41.260 But it fell apart the moment this footage was released because everybody understood why the officers drew their weapons.
00:04:47.640 Everybody understood that Reed had put the officers in fear of their lives even before the shooting started.
00:04:54.220 The entire media-driven narrative that Dexter Reed was an oppressed victim of police brutality fell apart.
00:04:59.940 And nobody ever spoke of it again.
00:05:01.920 But there's always somebody waiting in the wings to claim that mantle of oppression, especially in an election year.
00:05:09.540 And this week, the Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill is going for it, going for the mantle.
00:05:16.060 Even though his traffic stop in many ways has a lot of similarities to Dexter Reed's.
00:05:20.460 Tyreek Hill, like Dexter Reed, was pulled over for a lawful reason.
00:05:24.960 In Tyreek Hill's case, he was speeding near the Hard Rock Stadium where the Dolphins play.
00:05:30.440 So that's all caught on camera.
00:05:32.920 And like Dexter Reed, Tyreek Hill also had an existing criminal record at the time of his stop.
00:05:37.480 Although the officers probably weren't aware of that.
00:05:39.380 He had one.
00:05:40.600 In Hill's case, that record included a prior guilty plea for serious offenses, including domestic assault and battery by strangulation.
00:05:48.420 And then, when he was pulled over, Tyreek Hill, like Dexter Reed, refused lawful orders to lower his tinted window.
00:05:56.400 Instead, he started raising the window in clear defiance of the officers' watch.
00:06:01.580 And then, when
00:06:23.400 Hey, keep your window down.
00:06:37.660 Hey, keep your window down.
00:06:45.920 Keep your window down, I'm going to get you out of the car.
00:06:49.060 As a matter of fact, get out of the car.
00:06:50.240 Get out of the car.
00:06:53.400 Get out of the car right now.
00:06:55.400 We're not playing this game.
00:06:56.400 Get out.
00:06:57.400 Get out.
00:06:58.400 Get out.
00:06:59.400 Get out.
00:07:00.400 Get out.
00:07:01.400 Get out.
00:07:02.400 Get out.
00:07:03.400 What part of God do you understand?
00:07:05.400 Hey, Drew.
00:07:06.400 Hey, Drew, I'm getting arrested, Drew.
00:07:08.400 I'm getting arrested.
00:07:09.400 I ain't do nothing to him.
00:07:11.400 Hey.
00:07:13.400 Hey, don't park there.
00:07:16.400 Don't park there.
00:07:18.400 Hey.
00:07:20.400 Hold on.
00:07:21.400 Hold on.
00:07:23.400 Hold on.
00:07:24.400 Hold on, bro.
00:07:25.400 I just had surgery on my knee.
00:07:26.400 I just had surgery on my knee, bro.
00:07:28.400 I just had surgery on my knee, bro.
00:07:30.400 I just had surgery on my knee, bro.
00:07:31.400 I just had surgery on your ears when we got there.
00:07:33.400 What's the window down?
00:07:34.400 Chill, bro.
00:07:35.400 Chill, bro.
00:07:36.400 So instead of complying, Tyreek Hill rolled up a tinted window while the police were trying
00:07:41.400 to talk to him.
00:07:42.400 So they couldn't see what he was doing in the car.
00:07:45.400 They responded aggressively to his belligerence and defiance.
00:07:49.400 And then Tyreek Hill refused to sit on the curb as instructed, saying he just had knee
00:07:54.400 surgery so he can't sit down.
00:07:56.400 He could play in a professional football game a few hours later and score a touchdown.
00:08:01.400 But he had knee surgery and he can't sit down.
00:08:05.400 I'm delicate.
00:08:06.400 I can play tackle football with professional football players, but I'm too delicate.
00:08:10.400 Please be careful.
00:08:12.400 So that's just asking too much.
00:08:15.400 So the officer, again, used some force this time to put him on the curb.
00:08:18.400 Not a lot of force.
00:08:19.400 Not nearly as much force as what you experience when you're playing football in the NFL.
00:08:23.400 The officers also detained one of Hill's teammates, Goliath Campbell, after he approached
00:08:28.400 the scene in the middle of the road.
00:08:30.400 And ultimately, the authorities cited Hill for reckless driving, but they didn't arrest
00:08:33.400 him.
00:08:34.400 They also didn't charge him for obstructing an officer, which is a misdemeanor in Florida,
00:08:38.400 punishable by up to a year in prison.
00:08:40.400 Speaking to reporters, Hill claimed he had no idea why he was being placed in handcuffs.
00:08:45.400 Quote, no idea.
00:08:46.400 It's crazy.
00:08:47.400 No idea.
00:08:48.400 I wasn't disrespectful because my mom didn't raise me that way.
00:08:50.400 Didn't cuss.
00:08:51.400 Didn't did none of that.
00:08:52.400 I'm still trying to figure it out.
00:08:54.400 Don't be disrespectful.
00:08:55.400 Of course, the truth is that Hill could have avoided all of this by acting like an adult
00:08:59.400 rather than a spoiled toddler.
00:09:01.400 He knows that.
00:09:02.400 Everybody watching the video knows that.
00:09:04.400 But the media and the left are pretending otherwise.
00:09:06.400 They're completely ignoring the evidence and running with the same narrative we've seen
00:09:10.400 a million times before, even if the facts don't remotely fit.
00:09:13.400 Over on ESPN, for example, they're acting as if Tyree Kill was just killed.
00:09:19.400 I mean, they're mourning him as if he died by comparing him to a bunch of other BLM martyrs.
00:09:26.400 Watch.
00:09:27.400 What I don't understand is how a police officer can rip open his door, rip him out of the car,
00:09:34.400 not take him out of the car, rip him out of his car, slam him on the pavement face first
00:09:39.400 and cuff him and tell him he got it effing confused.
00:09:43.400 And then once you got him cuffed, make him sit down on the pavement because you don't
00:09:49.400 want him to stand.
00:09:51.400 The police officers wanted Tyree Kill beneath them, both literally and figuratively.
00:09:56.400 And that's the kind of crap that black Americans can't stand.
00:10:00.400 And that's why we're so frustrated because when the country talked about wanting to reckon
00:10:06.400 with race after George Floyd, we still have stuff like this popping up.
00:10:10.400 As if we haven't seen it enough.
00:10:12.400 As if we didn't have to deal with it with Chandra Bland.
00:10:14.400 As if we didn't have to deal with it with Taryn Crusher.
00:10:17.400 As if we didn't have to deal with it with Walter Scott.
00:10:19.400 As if we didn't have to deal with it with Philando Castile.
00:10:23.400 This keeps coming up.
00:10:26.400 Black Americans being stopped by law enforcement and not knowing if they're gonna make it home.
00:10:32.400 Oh, shut up.
00:10:33.400 Shut up, you clown.
00:10:35.400 He made him sit on the curb.
00:10:38.400 So?
00:10:40.400 You, what, you think black people, the only ones that have to sit on the curb when they're,
00:10:46.400 when they're being detained by the cops?
00:10:48.400 You think that doesn't happen?
00:10:49.400 No, it's just, if it happened to anyone else, we wouldn't think to, like you wouldn't think
00:10:54.400 of it that way.
00:10:55.400 Oh, so you want to put me beneath you?
00:10:57.400 No, they're detaining you.
00:10:59.400 And you're a big, huge person and they don't want you to run away.
00:11:03.400 So they're making you sit down.
00:11:06.400 It, you choose to make a thing out of that.
00:11:10.400 And just to be clear about this, Sandra Bland, Walter Scott and Philando Castile are all dead.
00:11:16.400 So that's not to re-litigate all of those cases, all of which the media lied about to
00:11:21.400 one degree or another, by the way.
00:11:23.400 It's just a fact.
00:11:24.400 So this guy's comparing several dead people to Tyreek Hill, who is not dead.
00:11:29.400 He's very much alive, unharmed, still earning $30 million a year, still a famous celebrity.
00:11:36.400 What happened to Hill is that on Sunday, he endured a minor inconvenience that was entirely
00:11:42.400 attributable to his own actions.
00:11:45.400 This was such a minor inconvenience that he was able to play football in a game afterwards
00:11:50.400 and he mocked the whole situation with a celebration after he scored a touchdown.
00:11:54.400 That's how traumatized he was.
00:11:56.400 So all of this fake hysteria is intended to obscure an obvious point, which is that Hill,
00:12:01.400 like so many other BLM heroes, did not comply with lawful orders that were given by police officers.
00:12:08.400 He put them in a dangerous situation as a result because when they can't see you during a traffic
00:12:14.400 stop, they can be killed.
00:12:16.400 It's happened many times.
00:12:20.400 And so he suffered the predictable consequences of that decision.
00:12:24.400 When the outraged ESPN personality says he's frustrated, I'm so frustrated.
00:12:30.400 The country hasn't reckoned with race, he says.
00:12:33.400 What he's really saying, what he's really saying is that black people should be able to do whatever
00:12:37.400 they want when the police pull them over.
00:12:40.400 And so if a black person like doesn't feel like doing what the cops want, say, then they shouldn't have to.
00:12:46.400 I don't want to do that.
00:12:48.400 I don't want to sit down.
00:12:51.400 And what this clown on ESPN is saying is that if you're black, that should be that should be acceptable.
00:12:56.400 You can't make a black person do what they don't want to do.
00:13:00.400 This is like slavery all over again.
00:13:05.400 They should be able to put police in danger if they want, apparently.
00:13:09.400 Or maybe that's only the case if they're driving expensive cars like Tyree Kill was.
00:13:13.400 Maybe the law just doesn't apply to football players.
00:13:17.400 That's the position of Tyree Kill's team, the Miami Dolphins.
00:13:20.400 In a statement, the team said they urged the police department to take swift and strong action against the officers who engaged in such despicable behavior.
00:13:27.400 The team didn't even mention Tyree Kill's decision to put people in danger by driving recklessly on the way to the stadium in his expensive car.
00:13:37.400 They didn't mention that he disobeyed the officers' commands.
00:13:40.400 They didn't mention that many officers have been shot in the head and killed because they can't see what someone is doing during a traffic stop.
00:13:49.400 They pretend as if officers had no reason whatsoever to treat Hill like a potential threat to their lives.
00:13:55.400 This is the lose-lose situation that cops are in.
00:13:58.400 They're being told that they have to ignore suspects who roll up their tinted windows and just hope that it doesn't turn out to be another Dexter Reed situation.
00:14:05.400 I guess if they pull over a black man, the black man says, nope, rolling out my window.
00:14:09.400 The cops are supposed to say, oh, OK, well, never mind.
00:14:12.400 I didn't mean to bother you.
00:14:14.400 I'm sorry.
00:14:15.400 Never mind.
00:14:16.400 You don't get a ticket because, oh, you don't want a ticket.
00:14:18.400 Oh, am I inconveniencing you?
00:14:20.400 Is this, oh, you had somewhere you wanted to go.
00:14:22.400 Oh, my gosh, you're a football player.
00:14:24.400 You play a game.
00:14:25.400 You play football.
00:14:26.400 You're really important.
00:14:27.400 Never mind.
00:14:28.400 Speed all you want.
00:14:29.400 We'll go find a white person to give this ticket to instead.
00:14:32.400 I mean, I guess that's what the cops are supposed to say.
00:14:35.400 And certainly if cops do anything to protect themselves, then they're despicable.
00:14:40.400 Meanwhile, the brain trust of former athletes over on FS1 took the melodrama up 10 more notches.
00:14:47.400 So here's some former NFL stars.
00:14:50.400 One of them is LaShawn McCoy on a show hosted by former NFL player Emmanuel Acho.
00:14:57.400 And, you know, these are some of the most oppressed oppressed people in America.
00:15:02.400 Just so you know, they were there.
00:15:04.400 They were paid millions of dollars to play a game.
00:15:06.400 Now they're paid millions of dollars to talk about other people playing a game.
00:15:11.400 But that doesn't make them any less oppressed.
00:15:13.400 You should know.
00:15:14.400 Let's watch.
00:15:16.400 This is terrible.
00:15:17.400 Right.
00:15:18.400 And I'm a good friend of Tyreek Hill.
00:15:19.400 And I'm so mad it happened.
00:15:20.400 But on the other side, I am kind of glad it did happen.
00:15:22.400 You know why?
00:15:23.400 Because you get to see what it feels like to be a black man in America.
00:15:25.400 Right.
00:15:26.400 The difference is this person, this young man that's getting detained like this is a superstar athlete.
00:15:32.400 So he's going to continue to have his life.
00:15:34.400 Because if it was somebody else, they might not have their life.
00:15:35.400 They might have had a chance to go to the Dolphins game.
00:15:37.400 They might have got shot.
00:15:38.400 The problem with this is the way they're handling him, you'd have thought he robbed the bank.
00:15:42.400 He did a murder.
00:15:43.400 He did attempt to murder.
00:15:44.400 He did something.
00:15:45.400 For a speeding ticket, you get all this?
00:15:48.400 This is crazy.
00:15:49.400 And we want the police to protect and serve.
00:15:53.400 Does that like protecting?
00:15:54.400 Is that like serving?
00:15:55.400 No.
00:15:56.400 You see this.
00:15:57.400 Just think.
00:15:58.400 If he wasn't Tyreek Hill, it could have gotten way more serious.
00:16:01.400 The most frustrating thing about it is, is we do not feel safe around cops.
00:16:06.400 And that's crazy.
00:16:07.400 When you say we, break that down.
00:16:08.400 Black people.
00:16:09.400 Black people does not feel safe around cops.
00:16:12.400 And that is what really like strikes a chord to me because we don't want to call them.
00:16:19.400 We don't want to be in certain situations with them.
00:16:21.400 I talk to my kids.
00:16:22.400 You know what I tell them, man?
00:16:23.400 If you ever get into any situation, man, you with your friends or whatever, get to some light.
00:16:27.400 Get around some people.
00:16:28.400 Right?
00:16:29.400 If it's some cops around.
00:16:30.400 That's how I'm talking to them.
00:16:31.400 If it's cops around where you're supposed to be safe and they're supposed to protect you,
00:16:35.400 make sure you're around some people.
00:16:36.400 Get into some light and all that.
00:16:38.400 So people can see what's going on if they want to act up.
00:16:43.400 Oh, is that what you tell your kids?
00:16:45.400 That's what you tell them?
00:16:47.400 If there are cops around to get to some light, that's all you tell them?
00:16:51.400 Well, then you're a terrible father.
00:16:53.400 You're just a bad father.
00:16:55.400 Like, have you considered telling them to comply with lawful commands?
00:16:59.400 Have you thought about telling them that?
00:17:02.400 Why don't you tell your kids to simply comply with lawful orders given by officers of the law?
00:17:07.400 Why don't you tell your kids that if they're speeding, they broke the law.
00:17:12.400 The cops have every right to pull them over.
00:17:14.400 And you just take the damn ticket and move on.
00:17:17.400 You got caught.
00:17:19.400 Why don't you tell your kids that?
00:17:22.400 It's like these.
00:17:23.400 Do you really think black people that only wants to get pulled over?
00:17:25.400 Is that really like they really think that I actually were at a point where I think some of these people think that the rest of us don't get.
00:17:31.400 I was driving.
00:17:33.400 I can't remember if I mentioned this.
00:17:34.400 I was on vacation in the summer.
00:17:38.400 This just happened.
00:17:39.400 And I'm driving through upstate New York.
00:17:43.400 I get pulled over for go.
00:17:45.400 I was going less than 10 miles over the limit.
00:17:48.400 Less than 10 miles.
00:17:49.400 And I, you know, you always think that really they give you 10 miles as kind of like a grace period.
00:17:53.400 So if it's 35, you could get away with 45.
00:17:56.400 You got to get into like 40, the 50s really before the.
00:17:59.400 I was going less than 10 miles over the limit.
00:18:01.400 And I still got pulled over.
00:18:03.400 Cop came over.
00:18:05.400 He's like peering in my car and stuff looking around.
00:18:08.400 Got a bunch of luggage.
00:18:10.400 He's asking me, asking me where I'm going, acting very suspicious.
00:18:14.400 Meanwhile, I was like, I was barely speeding.
00:18:17.400 It was annoying.
00:18:19.400 I've been driving for 12 hours.
00:18:21.400 Just wanted to get where I was going.
00:18:23.400 But you see, you know, it's not.
00:18:25.400 So this kind of thing happens.
00:18:27.400 And guess what?
00:18:28.400 If that cop had come over because he's giving me a ticket for going eight miles an hour, eight miles over something.
00:18:34.400 And in the middle of talking, if I had just rolled up the window and said, nope, sorry.
00:18:41.400 Guess what he would have done?
00:18:43.400 He would open the door and throw me out of it.
00:18:45.400 That's what he would have done.
00:18:46.400 He would do that to anybody.
00:18:48.400 It didn't happen to me because I'm not a freaking moron who would respond that way.
00:18:55.400 You know why?
00:18:56.400 Because I, well, I was speeding.
00:18:57.400 I was.
00:18:58.400 I mean, I feel like you could have let it go, but you didn't.
00:19:01.400 Fine.
00:19:02.400 I was speeding.
00:19:03.400 I got it.
00:19:04.400 If you're giving me a ticket, I'm just going to take.
00:19:06.400 Well, what else can I do but just take the ticket?
00:19:09.400 I could make things a lot worse for myself by being a belligerent.
00:19:13.400 But I'm not going to do that.
00:19:16.400 So why don't you hear these stories, these horror stories?
00:19:21.400 Because I didn't come on the air the next day and say, oh, my gosh, I got pulled over.
00:19:26.400 This is what we have to deal with in society.
00:19:31.400 OK, I wasn't tears in my eyes welling up.
00:19:35.400 This dramatic story of getting pulled over.
00:19:40.400 This is this is what I have to.
00:19:42.400 I didn't do that.
00:19:44.400 OK, because I'm a grown man.
00:19:47.400 You take the ticket and move on.
00:19:51.400 So if you don't hear the stories from like white people about getting pulled over.
00:19:56.400 It's because we're not on the air crying about it.
00:20:00.400 You know, the other thing we're told that, you know, black men are afraid of the cops.
00:20:05.400 Is what we're told.
00:20:07.400 They're terrified that they're going to be executed on the spot.
00:20:11.400 Tyreek Hill was afraid, allegedly.
00:20:14.400 Well, if that's the case.
00:20:16.400 Why are you going out of your way to antagonize them?
00:20:19.400 Why are you doing everything in your power to make your interactions with the police as stressful and contentious as possible?
00:20:26.400 When I see videos like the one with Tyreek Hill or any of the footage of any BLM martyr.
00:20:31.400 I don't see black men who are afraid of the cops.
00:20:35.400 I see black men who completely disregard the cops and act as though they're above the law and impervious to the basic rules and standards of conduct that the rest of us have to live by.
00:20:44.400 If you're afraid for your life while dealing with the cops, why would you roll up a tinted window?
00:20:49.400 How is that going to make you safer?
00:20:52.400 How is that going to make the situation less volatile?
00:20:55.400 You are making it more volatile.
00:20:58.400 You are directly actively making it into a more volatile situation.
00:21:05.400 This doesn't occur to these kinds of commentators.
00:21:08.400 Can't blame them for that.
00:21:09.400 They're emotional.
00:21:10.400 In fact, these guys were so emotional that when they came back from commercial break, they were still comforting each other over this.
00:21:17.400 Watch.
00:21:19.400 What's up, family?
00:21:20.400 We had to bring y'all into the locker room for this one because it is about to get real with this dialogue.
00:21:24.400 Russell Wilson.
00:21:25.400 Russell Wilson.
00:21:26.400 Y'all know what he is.
00:21:27.400 He's a future Hall of Famer.
00:21:29.400 However, hey.
00:21:31.400 Hey, really quick though.
00:21:32.400 Really quick because I know we just came off that segment.
00:21:34.400 But this is like real life locker room because it's tough to regroup.
00:21:38.400 That's a good point.
00:21:39.400 It's tough to regroup.
00:21:40.400 Like, I'm looking at my dog right now.
00:21:41.400 Like, we all thinking like, dang, man, that just happened.
00:21:43.400 And this is how we really are in the locker room, talking to each other.
00:21:46.400 And this was before a game.
00:21:48.400 You know what I'm saying?
00:21:49.400 It's just crazy because I see everybody's body language.
00:21:51.400 And usually when stuff like this happens, you walk into the locker room, you look at your brother, you're like, you're good, bro?
00:21:56.400 You see that?
00:21:57.400 You know what I'm saying?
00:21:58.400 It's a tough situation.
00:21:59.400 Not to get you off track.
00:22:00.400 That's a good point because I was trying to get back on topic for y'all at home.
00:22:04.400 I looked at my dog 2-5 and he wasn't doing his normal joint.
00:22:07.400 So, I was like, okay.
00:22:08.400 You didn't turn on the boom button.
00:22:09.400 So, I had to pivot.
00:22:10.400 And truly, now we're bringing y'all into the real, not just of a locker room, but the real of our mindset.
00:22:15.400 Like, James just hit it on the head.
00:22:16.400 Like, sometimes having to transition from a topic like watching your teammate.
00:22:21.400 What brave warriors.
00:22:24.400 What heroes.
00:22:25.400 My God.
00:22:26.400 They had to overcome the trauma of talking about a football player's briefly unpleasant interaction with the cops.
00:22:32.400 They somehow had to soldier through and find a way to keep talking about football.
00:22:38.400 In spite of the fact that a millionaire was briefly inconvenienced.
00:22:43.400 It's painful, you see.
00:22:45.400 It's painful to think about the minor inconvenience that a millionaire football player experienced.
00:22:50.400 A minor inconvenience of his own making that they're shaken up.
00:22:54.400 They could barely hold together.
00:22:56.400 Now, for his part, the head coach of the Miami Dolphins, Mike McDaniel, was even more hysterical than the sports commentators.
00:23:01.400 He appeared to be choking back tears.
00:23:03.400 As he said, he couldn't imagine what it's like to be as oppressed as Tyreek Hill.
00:23:09.400 Watch.
00:23:10.400 It's been hard for me not to find myself more upset the more I think about it.
00:23:17.400 And that's because of, you know, my teammates and trying to put myself in that emotion or in that situation that they've described emotionally.
00:23:32.400 And then knowing more than that, I think the thing that fucked me up, honestly, to be quite frank, is knowing that I don't know exactly, I don't know what that feels like.
00:23:49.400 Like, uh.
00:23:50.400 Okay, enough of that.
00:23:51.400 I can't even listen to this.
00:23:52.400 Shut up, you dork.
00:23:53.400 I mean, if you listen to that and you had no context, you would assume that someone died.
00:23:59.400 You would assume that something tragic had happened.
00:24:02.400 He's talking about a guy getting a speeding ticket.
00:24:05.400 Okay, he's talking about a multimillionaire who got a speeding ticket and he's practically crying about it.
00:24:12.400 50 years ago, a guy this weepy and emasculated would never be the head coach of a football team.
00:24:19.400 It just wouldn't have been possible for a theater kid like this to get a job like that.
00:24:23.400 But here we are.
00:24:24.400 Mike McDaniel is very triggered.
00:24:26.400 It really messes him up.
00:24:28.400 He doesn't know what it feels like.
00:24:30.400 Really?
00:24:31.400 You know what it feels like to get a speeding ticket?
00:24:32.400 Really?
00:24:33.400 Really?
00:24:34.400 You've never experienced that before?
00:24:36.400 He'll never be able.
00:24:37.400 Well, white people don't get speeding tickets.
00:24:38.400 We don't get them.
00:24:39.400 We never do.
00:24:41.400 Yeah, but the coach could find out pretty easily.
00:24:43.400 He could start driving his sports car as recklessly as possible around slow moving traffic.
00:24:47.400 And when he gets pulled over, he could roll up his tinted windows and dare the cops to do something about it.
00:24:52.400 And very quickly, Mike McDaniel will experience something similar to what Tyreek Hill experienced on Sunday.
00:24:56.400 And if that happens, Mike McDaniel would deserve to be forcibly removed from his car and treated like a threat just like Tyreek Hill was.
00:25:03.400 Predictably, nobody in the corporate press wants to point this out.
00:25:06.400 Instead, they're affirming Tyreek Hill's story of racial grievance at every opportunity.
00:25:09.400 Here's CNN, for example.
00:25:10.400 And watch as they allow Tyreek Hill to claim without any pushback that if he weren't a football player, the police officers would have executed him on the spot instead.
00:25:18.400 Watch.
00:25:19.400 If you weren't Tyreek Hill, you feared this could have ended a lot differently.
00:25:25.400 What do you think could have happened?
00:25:27.400 Yeah.
00:25:28.400 Like, so the crazy part about it is I hate talking like this, man, because I have a kid fan base.
00:25:35.400 But the reality of it is, it's the truth.
00:25:38.400 If I wasn't Tyreek Hill, worst case scenario, we would have had a different article, you know?
00:25:44.400 Tyreek Hill, you know, got shot in front of Hard Rock Stadium, you know?
00:25:49.400 Or that's worst case scenario or Tyreek Hill, you know, put in handcuffs and taken in and booked, you know?
00:25:56.400 But it's crazy that, you know, I, you know, me and my family had to go through this, you know?
00:26:04.400 You and your family had to go through what?
00:26:10.400 What is your family going through?
00:26:13.400 They had to go through you getting a traffic citation?
00:26:16.400 That's what they're suffering?
00:26:17.400 And the media puts this on the air while there are people suffering in, I mean, we just had a school shooting, okay, recently.
00:26:27.400 Did anyone, did anyone on ESPN, there was just a school shooting, like the kids were killed.
00:26:31.400 Did anyone on ESPN feel like they couldn't, they couldn't even move on?
00:26:36.400 They couldn't even do their job anymore because they're so overcome with emotion?
00:26:40.400 No, that's only if a, if a football player gets a traffic ticket.
00:26:44.400 So try to follow the logic here.
00:26:46.400 According to Hill, the police knew he was a famous NFL player with a very high profile.
00:26:49.400 So they knew they had to be on their best behavior.
00:26:52.400 And that's why they decided not to just shoot him outside.
00:26:55.400 Otherwise they would have just shot him.
00:26:56.400 They would have just pulled him out and shot him in the head, right?
00:26:59.400 Because that happens all the time.
00:27:00.400 I mean, I mean, when I say it happens all the time, it like never, ever happens, ever.
00:27:04.400 Okay.
00:27:05.400 But, but, but no, it really happens all the time, except for that it never does.
00:27:09.400 And so that's what supposedly what the police do to every black person, but they don't do it to NFL players.
00:27:13.400 At the same time, according to Tyra Kill, these same police officers didn't have any problem risking their entire career just to rough him up on the camera for no reason, allegedly.
00:27:21.400 So they're cautious, but they're also extremely reckless at the same time.
00:27:26.400 That's the explanation that flies on CNN apparently.
00:27:29.400 But it doesn't make any sense.
00:27:30.400 What makes more sense is that the police did exactly what they were trained to do, which is to treat everyone who behaves like Hill did, regardless of how much money they have, as a potential threat.
00:27:38.400 That's especially true when, like Dexter Reed, they have a criminal record and they start rolling up their tinted window instead of complying.
00:27:45.400 The only way to explain the reaction from the corporate press and the Miami Dolphins is that these people really believe, again, that a black man should be able to do or say literally anything he wants when confronted by cops.
00:27:58.400 Whatever happens will always be the cops fault no matter what.
00:28:02.400 The point is to absolve, quote unquote, people of color of any blame.
00:28:06.400 But the effect is that they're infantilized.
00:28:09.400 They're treated like children incapable of controlling their emotions, given no incentive to improve your own behavior.
00:28:18.400 Instead, when you treat people like this, you're giving them more incentive to act like Tyra Kill with all the entitlement and hysteria that entails.
00:28:26.400 We saw what that approach leads in 2020.
00:28:29.400 It leads to police pulling out of black neighborhoods and fewer people choosing to become police officers.
00:28:34.400 And that in turn leads to a lot more black people dying.
00:28:38.400 Narcissists like Tyra Kill claim that they're afraid of that outcome.
00:28:43.400 In reality, they're doing everything they can to make sure that it keeps happening.
00:28:49.400 Now let's get to our five headlines.

00:30:05.400 Okay, huge news, biggest news of the year, of the century, of all time, probably.
00:30:10.400 Taylor Swift has made her endorsement, and you're never going to guess who she endorsed.
00:30:16.400 This is a game changer, total shocker.
00:30:19.400 Here's the New York Times.
00:30:20.400 Taylor Swift, who's one of America's most celebrated pop culture icons and has an enormous following across the world,
00:30:24.400 endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris late Tuesday after Ms. Harris' debate against former President Donald Trump.
00:30:30.400 The endorsement by Ms. Swift, delivered minutes after Ms. Harris and Mr. Trump had stepped off the debate stage in Philadelphia,
00:30:36.400 offers Ms. Harris an unrivaled celebrity backer and a tremendous shot of adrenaline to her campaign,
00:30:41.400 especially with the younger voters she has been trying to attract.
00:30:44.400 Like many of you, I watched the debate tonight, Ms. Swift wrote on Instagram,
00:30:48.400 I will be casting my vote for Kamala Harris and Tim Walls in the 2024 presidential election.
00:30:53.400 I'm voting for Kamala Harris because she fights for the rights and causes I believe needs a warrior to champion them.
00:30:59.400 What?
00:31:00.400 What a horribly muddled sentence.
00:31:09.400 She signed her post as childless cat lady, a reference to comments made by Mr. Trump's running mate.
00:31:15.400 And, yeah, okay, so she endorsed Kamala Harris.
00:31:24.400 Really, like I said, really surprised.
00:31:26.400 You know, I thought she'd go Trump.
00:31:30.400 If not Trump, I thought maybe she would call for a third party run from Pat Buchanan.
00:31:36.400 And that's what I was, so I thought maybe that would be, but no, she went with Kamala Harris.
00:31:41.400 So, we could be snarky about this.
00:31:45.400 I mean, I was just being snarky about it, which is very unlike me, but this kind of thing does matter.
00:31:52.400 All the jokes aside, it does matter.
00:31:56.400 Maybe it shouldn't matter, but it does.
00:31:59.400 It's ridiculous that anybody would vote just because Taylor Swift tells them to.
00:32:04.400 It's maybe ridiculous that anybody would be influenced by her, but they are influenced by her.
00:32:10.400 They shouldn't be, but they are.
00:32:14.400 And if all Taylor Swift does is post this one thing on Instagram, the impact will probably be relatively minimal, although there will still be a major impact.
00:32:24.400 You know, several months ago, she posted one time encouraging people to register.
00:32:29.400 And immediately there were, I think on the site that she linked to, there were 35,000 new voter registrations just from one post, which of course is a lot.
00:32:40.400 I mean, that's enough.
00:32:42.400 If that was all in one state, she could swing a state on her own.
00:32:45.400 So, and that was just a kind of generic call months and months and months before the election for people to register.
00:32:52.400 So, even just that one post will have an impact.
00:32:56.400 A favorable one for Kamala Harris, no question about it.
00:32:59.400 If that's all it is, then probably it's minimized.
00:33:04.400 If she actively campaigns for Kamala, if she performs at a rally, let's say, or anything along those lines, then it will become a bigger impact.
00:33:13.400 Taylor Swift is in many ways like Donald Trump's polar opposite.
00:33:17.400 Trump is popular with men, but generally despised by young women.
00:33:22.400 Taylor Swift is not very popular with men, but is worshipped as a deity by young women.
00:33:27.400 And, you know, the Kamala campaign would like to wield Swift as kind of like a Trump antidote, the anti-Trump.
00:33:36.400 And what they'd most like to do is to have a Taylor Swift concert masquerading as a Kamala rally so that they can then brag that 100,000 people came to a Kamala rally.
00:33:47.400 I mean, they can get as many, especially, essentially, it's a free Taylor Swift concert, you know, that, again, they call a Kamala Harris rally.
00:33:58.400 And they could fill any venue in the world with that, with the worshipful young women who are there to worship at the altar of their deity.
00:34:10.400 And then they can brag that, you know, 100,000 people came to a Kamala Harris rally.
00:34:15.400 They can try to claim that they had the biggest political rally of all time, something like that.
00:34:21.400 Even though, again, it won't really be a rally, it'll be a Taylor Swift concert, but that's what they can do.
00:34:25.400 The question is whether Taylor Swift wants to be that involved, I guess we'll see.
00:34:29.400 But the fact remains that this kind of thing does matter.
00:34:34.400 Taylor Swift has influence.
00:34:36.400 And I don't mean influence in the way that people we call influencers have influence.
00:34:44.400 One of the ways that you know that somebody doesn't have a lot of influence is if their job title is influencer.
00:34:50.400 The real influencers are artists.
00:34:52.400 They are entertainers.
00:34:54.400 They are cultural figures.
00:34:56.400 They have influence.
00:34:58.400 And a lot of it.
00:35:00.400 So what can we do about it?
00:35:02.400 That's really the question.
00:35:03.400 What do we do about the Taylor Swift effect?
00:35:07.400 How do we counteract it?
00:35:10.400 Well, attacking her isn't going to do it.
00:35:14.400 I mean, go ahead and criticize her.
00:35:16.400 Taylor, you know, I mean, I've made fun of her.
00:35:20.400 If you do that, fine.
00:35:22.400 It can be fun.
00:35:23.400 So I get it.
00:35:24.400 But you're not going to negate or counteract her impact on the culture that way.
00:35:30.400 That's not going to get the job done.
00:35:33.400 I think maybe everyone understands that you're not going to be the people who are enamored by Taylor Swift.
00:35:38.400 You're not going to argue them out of that.
00:35:41.400 You're not going to present some kind of argument and they're going to read it and say, you know what?
00:35:45.400 Yeah, I actually don't.
00:35:47.400 Yeah, I've thought about it.
00:35:48.400 You're right.
00:35:49.400 I don't like Taylor Swift anymore.
00:35:50.400 That's not going to happen.
00:35:51.400 So that's not a good strategy.
00:35:56.400 Something else that is not a good strategy.
00:35:59.400 And I've tried to make this argument many times before.
00:36:02.400 Republicans cannot mitigate Taylor Swift influence.
00:36:06.400 Taylor Swift influence by trying to parade around their own Hollywood stars and pop culture figures and musicians and so on.
00:36:15.400 This is what they've tried to do, right?
00:36:19.400 They tried to do it at the RNC.
00:36:22.400 And I was critical of it at the RNC.
00:36:25.400 And I was eaten alive for that, as you might recall.
00:36:29.400 People are very, very angry at the thing, my commentary on the RNC.
00:36:35.400 I was right.
00:36:37.400 I'm still right.
00:36:39.400 I was right the whole time.
00:36:41.400 My point is this is just not effective.
00:36:45.400 OK, because here's why.
00:36:49.400 The Dems have Taylor Swift, the most influential and famous and successful pop culture figure in the world.
00:37:00.400 OK, their bench like they're there.
00:37:03.400 They've got on the bench Beyonce and Oprah.
00:37:09.400 They're the warm up acts for Taylor Swift.
00:37:13.400 So when you try to respond to that by by bringing out a bunch of washed up.
00:37:18.400 Irrelevant has beens.
00:37:21.400 I'm sorry, because that's what we've done.
00:37:24.400 It's just not it's not going to work.
00:37:30.400 And for Republicans right now, their crowd of celebrities are either.
00:37:35.400 They're either in the has been camp or they're the never was camp.
00:37:41.400 So so they go, oh, yeah, you have Taylor Swift.
00:37:44.400 Well, look at this.
00:37:45.400 We have this guy who hasn't made a hit song since 1995.
00:37:48.400 Checkmate, checkmate, Libs.
00:37:51.400 We got you now.
00:37:52.400 Oh, yeah.
00:37:53.400 You have a you have a you have every popular actor in Hollywood.
00:37:57.400 Well, well, we have this actor who hasn't appeared in a film since, you know, a Hallmark film 14 years ago.
00:38:05.400 Now what?
00:38:06.400 Or they go and find just like any random influencer type that's got, you know, a few million followers on Instagram.
00:38:16.400 Any any rapper, any rapper who's done any kind of pro Trump rap.
00:38:22.400 Even if it's someone who has got, you know, a thousand YouTube subscribers has zero fan base.
00:38:30.400 They go find somebody like that and say, see, we're relevant.
00:38:34.400 You look at this.
00:38:35.400 Nobody wants to hear it, but it's just not effective.
00:38:41.400 It's not effective.
00:38:42.400 It's only effective in making us look lame and irrelevant.
00:38:49.400 And it's especially when we're doing that and they're bringing Taylor freaking Swift up on stage.
00:38:57.400 OK, we've got a we've got a YouTube rapper.
00:39:01.400 We've got a YouTube rapper and someone from Instagram and, you know, an actor who who made one relatively good movie 17 and a half years ago.
00:39:11.400 And like they've got Taylor Swift.
00:39:12.400 It just it's not a good contrast.
00:39:15.400 And what it does is it handicaps us when we try to dismiss Taylor Swift by saying that celebrities don't matter.
00:39:23.400 Because of celebrities don't matter.
00:39:27.400 Then why did we have a bunch of celebrities that nobody cares about at the RNC?
00:39:32.400 Do they do they matter or not?
00:39:35.400 If their celebrities don't matter, how in the world could our much less famous celebrities matter?
00:39:42.400 It doesn't make any sense.
00:39:46.400 So what is the solution?
00:39:49.400 The solution for now in the short term is to not get into the celebrity tit for tat.
00:39:56.400 Because we can't win that.
00:39:59.400 We will lose that every time.
00:40:01.400 We cannot compete.
00:40:03.400 And that's why I think the I wish the RNC had been nothing but just straight policy the whole time.
00:40:10.400 Just boring.
00:40:11.400 Make it boring.
00:40:12.400 Fine.
00:40:14.400 Because then, you know, you could present yourself as totally unconcerned with celebrity, not not desperate.
00:40:20.400 And and then at least you have some kind of counterargument when they start bringing up Taylor Swift and Beyonce and you can say, hey, you guys are doing the celebrity thing.
00:40:27.400 We're not worried about that.
00:40:28.400 We're focused on what really matters to Americans.
00:40:31.400 We're worried about policy.
00:40:33.400 And that's an argument.
00:40:34.400 That's a counterargument.
00:40:35.400 My point, again, is that you can't make that counterargument if you are also trying to parade your celebrities around.
00:40:41.400 But your celebrities are all lame.
00:40:43.400 Right now, in the long term, though, we can't deny that celebrity does matter.
00:40:50.400 Because culture matters and celebrities are culture makers.
00:40:53.400 They make culture.
00:40:55.400 Now, these days, there are celebrities who don't make culture.
00:40:58.400 You know, we make celebrities out of the hock to a girl.
00:41:00.400 She's not a culture maker.
00:41:01.400 She doesn't make anything.
00:41:02.400 But the big celebrities, you know, the the.
00:41:07.400 And by the way, can I just say the hock to a girl, if she came out and endorsed Trump, guarantee you there'd be Republicans that want to put her on stage at a rally.
00:41:15.400 I guarantee that would happen.
00:41:18.400 And if someone like me said, you know what, I don't think this is really the right approach.
00:41:22.400 I don't I would get annihilated for that, for for doing that anyway.
00:41:28.400 The celebrities.
00:41:31.400 There are celebrities who make culture, but the big celebrities are big celebrities because they make culture.
00:41:37.400 They make culture.
00:41:39.400 And.
00:41:40.400 And, you know, that's not going to change so long term.
00:41:44.400 We we do need to get serious about making culture and making culture means doing more than commenting on it.
00:41:51.400 It means doing more than making political podcasts like the one you're listening to right now.
00:42:00.400 There's a place.
00:42:01.400 There's a place for commentary.
00:42:04.400 It has some value.
00:42:07.400 I mean, I certainly hope it does anyway, because this is what I do.
00:42:10.400 It's my day job.
00:42:11.400 But.
00:42:13.400 We do need to do more than that.
00:42:14.400 We need to make culture, you know, and I know here today, why are you here saying that all the time?
00:42:21.400 Like a mantra, but it's not just a mantra.
00:42:23.400 It's true.
00:42:24.400 You make we have to make entertainment, make art, music, shows, films.
00:42:31.400 Because because that is why celebrity matters.
00:42:33.400 That's Taylor Swift has influence, not just because she's some random woman with an Instagram page.
00:42:42.400 She has influence because she makes music.
00:42:45.400 And music moves people.
00:42:47.400 Now, it doesn't move me.
00:42:48.400 I think her music is terrible.
00:42:49.400 I'm not moved by it.
00:42:50.400 I can't imagine how anybody could be moved by it, but they are.
00:42:54.400 I mean, they're so moved by her music somehow that that she has a billion fans.
00:43:00.400 So if you're making culture, you also have the culture makers, which is so you have the celebrities and then and then you have all that.
00:43:06.400 Now, making culture is hard, right?
00:43:09.400 It's hard to do.
00:43:11.400 I've made two films.
00:43:12.400 It's difficult.
00:43:13.400 And it's risky.
00:43:14.400 And it's expensive.
00:43:16.400 And it's expensive.
00:43:17.400 And when you're on the right, you have all kinds of disadvantages going in.
00:43:31.400 And we could you could spend all day whining about it.
00:43:34.400 You're just you got both hands tied behind your back going into trying to do something like this because you don't have any of the institutional support.
00:43:42.400 You don't get anywhere near the same kind of funding.
00:43:45.400 And then when you go and you create your your your you don't have access to a lot of the same talent you don't have access to.
00:43:53.400 So you got to go try to find you got to find diamonds in the rough out there who somehow have not already been claimed by Hollywood and by the entertainment industry.
00:44:01.400 And you got to go find them and and and then you create your thing and you try to put it out in the world and you don't have anywhere near the same, you know, avenues for distribution much of the time.
00:44:16.400 You don't have anywhere near the same kind of budget to market whatever it is that you've created.
00:44:20.400 Not even close.
00:44:22.400 Right.
00:44:23.400 You're lucky if you can get if you can scrounge together a few million dollars to market your your product, whatever you've created.
00:44:28.400 Then you're you're one of the lucky ones.
00:44:31.400 Meanwhile, the music industry, Hollywood, they've got tens of millions, hundreds of millions to spend marketing it.
00:44:38.400 And then they have the whole mainstream media that will amplify.
00:44:43.400 Whatever they create.
00:44:44.400 So if they make a film, they've got the whole they've got access to every show, everything go anywhere.
00:44:49.400 They go anywhere to talk about their film.
00:44:51.400 If they have an album, if they have whatever a show, they've got access to all of those places to go and tell people.
00:44:57.400 About it.
00:44:58.400 And but if you're a conservative, you don't have access to any of that.
00:45:03.400 Almost any of them.
00:45:04.400 So.
00:45:05.400 And all that means that you could go and create something.
00:45:11.400 And there's a chance that it might be bad because creating things is hard.
00:45:17.400 And you could even even be very talented and put all your effort into it and it turns out bad.
00:45:22.400 Or it could be good.
00:45:24.400 And it flops because of all these disadvantages that you have.
00:45:28.400 And at the end of it, there's no participation trophy.
00:45:32.400 Right.
00:45:33.400 Nobody in the audience is saying, well, you tried a for effort.
00:45:37.400 You spend months and months and millions of dollars making a piece of art that ends up being bad or ends up flopping.
00:45:42.400 And nobody will give you credit for trying.
00:45:47.400 And they shouldn't.
00:45:49.400 Well, maybe they should, but they won't.
00:45:52.400 That's just the reality.
00:45:53.400 All they care about is the final product.
00:45:55.400 So you have to do it and do it well.
00:45:57.400 And in spite of all of the obstacles arrayed against you, you have to find a way in spite of that to have success with it.
00:46:06.400 So that's the challenge.
00:46:08.400 And it's a huge challenge.
00:46:10.400 And it's why.
00:46:13.400 It's largely why conservatives don't do this, because they look at all that and they say, I don't even know where to start.
00:46:19.400 I can't.
00:46:20.400 I mean, forget it.
00:46:22.400 And it's a lot easier and there's easier money to be made, frankly, and just say, well, I'm not going to.
00:46:29.400 I'll just comment on it.
00:46:30.400 I don't need to make my own stuff.
00:46:32.400 I'll comment on the stuff the culture is making.
00:46:34.400 And I can eke out a not even eke out.
00:46:37.400 I can have a nice living and I can kind of coast along.
00:46:40.400 And so I get all that.
00:46:43.400 If we want this to change.
00:46:48.400 Right.
00:46:49.400 If we want our own Taylor Swift who can endorse our own presidential candidates one day, because it's not going to be Taylor Swift.
00:46:54.400 She's got they got her.
00:46:56.400 But you want your own.
00:46:58.400 You don't do that by finding some random person who nobody cares about and just insisting that this is our Taylor Swift because it's not.
00:47:05.400 If you want that, then you got to create culture.
00:47:07.400 You got it.
00:47:08.400 We got it.
00:47:09.400 We got to cultivate.
00:47:11.400 Talent and support them.
00:47:14.400 Right.
00:47:15.400 While at the same time.
00:47:19.400 This is kind of the catch 22, because when people on our side do try to make culture and create things, we also have to hold ourselves to a high standard.
00:47:27.400 So really, yeah, it's not an A for effort.
00:47:31.400 It's like, OK.
00:47:33.400 I want people on our side to make culture.
00:47:34.400 I want you to go out and create things, create entertainment, music, shows, films, you know, art, do it.
00:47:40.400 But if it's bad, we're going to tell you.
00:47:43.400 Because this is not how we reclaim the culture by creating our own and telling ourselves it's good when it isn't.
00:47:49.400 So you got to do it.
00:47:50.400 You got to do it.
00:47:51.400 Well, that's the strategy.
00:47:55.400 And, you know, if we got serious about it, then when I say it's a long term strategy, it doesn't have to be like 100 years from now.
00:48:06.400 We have our own Taylor Swift, you know, that can endorse.
00:48:09.400 It doesn't have to be 100 years from now.
00:48:11.400 It could happen a lot sooner than you might think.
00:48:15.400 But that is the that's the answer.
00:48:20.400 All right.
00:48:21.400 Well, that was one headline.
00:48:24.400 That was one headline, the five headlines.
00:48:26.400 I got other stuff here, but I haven't even talked about the debate yet.
00:48:30.400 You know, it's funny.
00:48:31.400 The left loves to lecture us about public health, but they seem awfully quiet about the surge of disease flooding across our open borders.
00:48:37.400 Measles, TB, meningitis, hepatitis, all making a comeback thanks to our brilliant immigration policies.
00:48:43.400 That's why I've stocked my home with the medical emergency kit from the wellness company.
00:48:47.400 And let me tell you, this isn't some flimsy box of brand band-aids and antiseptic wipes.
00:48:52.400 This is the real deal.
00:48:53.400 A mini urgent care center for your home.
00:48:56.400 It's packed with essentials and often hard to get medications like amoxicillin, Z-Pak.
00:49:01.400 And yes, even the media's favorite boogeyman, ivermectin, with eight doctor-prescribed medications and a guidebook covering over 30 illnesses.
00:49:10.400 You'll be ready for everything from COVID, strep throat, pneumonia, bronchitis, tick bites, UTIs and more.
00:49:16.400 No doctor visit, no pharmacy lines and no copay.
00:49:19.400 Every American household should have at least one medical emergency kit.
00:49:22.400 It's not just about preparedness.
00:49:23.400 It's about independence from a medical system that's becoming increasingly unreliable.

00:49:40.400 We are two days away from my new movie, Am I Racist?, in theaters nationwide.
00:49:45.400 As of the latest count, Am I Racist?, will open in over 1,500 theaters this Friday with more screens being added every day.
00:49:51.400 We gave some lucky fans across the country a chance to see it early, and here's what they have to say.
00:49:55.400 Quoting now, everyone needs to see this film.
00:49:57.400 Hilarious, intelligent, and insightful.
00:49:59.400 It's one of the best things Daily Wire has done.
00:50:01.400 Get ready for the comedy that hilariously exposes the left's shameless race hustling, Am I Racist?,
00:50:06.400 only in theaters Friday.
00:50:07.400 Head to miracist.com for tickets, and also show times near you.
00:50:10.400 That's miracist.com.
00:50:12.400 Well, unlike every other political podcast today, I have a safe discussion of the debate for the very end of the show,
00:50:22.400 and that's mainly because the debate was, in my opinion, not terribly interesting.
00:50:26.400 In fairness, presidential debates are almost always boring.
00:50:30.400 The last debate against Joe Biden was the exception because watching the incumbent president decay live on camera is many things.
00:50:38.400 Shocking, pathetic, horrifying, hilarious at times, but not boring.
00:50:44.400 This time around, Trump did not have the advantage of debating an opponent who had lost his mind.
00:50:49.400 Instead, he was debating one who never really had much of a mind to begin with.
00:50:54.400 And this worked to Trump's advantage early on as he came out strong hitting Kamala on her record
00:50:58.400 and her habit of flip-flopping on every position she's ever had.
00:51:01.400 And that set him up for one of the best lines of the night.
00:51:04.400 Watch.
00:51:05.400 And policies like they have, I don't say her because she has no policy.
00:51:10.400 Everything that she believed three years ago and four years ago is out the window.
00:51:15.400 She's going to my philosophy now.
00:51:16.400 In fact, I was going to send her a MAGA hat.
00:51:19.400 She's gone to my philosophy.
00:51:20.400 But if she ever got elected, she'd change it.
00:51:23.400 So, it was a good line.
00:51:26.400 And the thing about Trump's best lines is that they never seem scripted.
00:51:29.400 It didn't appear that Trump came into the debate planning to make a quip about sending Kamala a MAGA hat.
00:51:34.400 Maybe he did have it planned, but he delivers it naturally with impeccable comedic timing.
00:51:39.400 Unlike Kamala, who can never be accused of doing or saying anything naturally.
00:51:43.400 Trump had another great line when talking about Kamala's platform or lack thereof.
00:51:48.400 Watch.
00:51:49.400 I know that Donald Trump actually has no plan for you because he is more interested in defending himself than he is in looking out for you.
00:51:59.400 That's just a sound bite.
00:52:00.400 They gave her that to say.
00:52:01.400 Look, I went to the Wharton School of Finance.
00:52:04.400 And many of those professors, the top professors, think my plan is a brilliant plan.
00:52:09.400 It's a great plan.
00:52:10.400 It's a plan that's going to bring up our worth, our value as a country.
00:52:13.400 It's going to make people want to be able to go and work and create jobs and create a lot of good, solid money for our country.
00:52:22.400 And just to finish off, she doesn't have a plan.
00:52:26.400 She copied Biden's plan.
00:52:28.400 And it's like four sentences like run, spot, run for sentences that are just, oh, we'll try and lower taxes.
00:52:37.400 She doesn't have a plan.
00:52:38.400 Take a look at her plan.
00:52:39.400 She doesn't have a plan.
00:52:40.400 So another very funny line, well delivered.
00:52:43.400 But Trump's very best moment, in my opinion, was not funny at all.
00:52:47.400 In fact, his best moment when the topic turned to abortion.
00:52:52.400 In that moment, he did the thing that I've been begging Republican politicians to do for years.
00:52:56.400 You've probably heard me on the show many times urging Republicans and urging Trump to turn to their Democrat opponents
00:53:01.400 and demand that they answer the questions that the media will never ask them.
00:53:06.400 And Trump did exactly that here.
00:53:08.400 Will she allow abortion in the eighth month, ninth month, seventh month?
00:53:13.400 Come on.
00:53:14.400 Okay, would you do that?
00:53:16.400 Why don't you ask her that question?
00:53:17.400 Why don't you answer the question, would you veto?
00:53:19.400 That's the problem.
00:53:20.400 Because under Roe v. Wade, you could do abortions in the seventh month, the eighth month, the ninth month.
00:53:26.400 That's not true.
00:53:27.400 And probably after birth.
00:53:28.400 Just look at the governor, former governor of Virginia.
00:53:31.400 The governor of Virginia said we put the baby aside and then we determine what we want to do with the baby.
00:53:36.400 President Trump, thank you.
00:53:37.400 President Trump, thank you.
00:53:39.400 So that's all you have to do.
00:53:40.400 You know, as I've been ranting forever on this show and before I had this show,
00:53:43.400 Democrats want to keep the abortion conversation revolving around the extreme cases.
00:53:47.400 They want to talk about rape, incest, alleged life of the mother situations where abortion is allegedly medically necessary,
00:53:53.400 even though abortion is actually never medically necessary.
00:53:55.400 But these cases account for fewer than 1% of all abortions.
00:53:59.400 The more we allow the debate to focus on the 1% of cases, the more we allow Democrats off the hook.
00:54:04.400 So Democrats demand that Republicans deal with all of the intricacies and nuances and fine distinctions.
00:54:10.400 Meanwhile, Democrats never want to grapple with abortion in even the broadest terms.
00:54:14.400 They don't want to answer even the most basic questions about where they draw the line.
00:54:18.400 Yes, they think it's important that rape victims can get abortions.
00:54:20.400 That's been established.
00:54:22.400 Now, putting the rape cases aside, what about every other case?
00:54:26.400 Where do they draw the line with those?
00:54:28.400 Do they draw a line?
00:54:30.400 Is there any kind of abortion at any stage of pregnancy that they would object to?
00:54:34.400 Do they think it's okay to kill fully developed infants in the womb who would be viable outside the womb?
00:54:39.400 Do they think it's okay to kill a baby who could just as well be delivered healthy and alive and given up for adoption?
00:54:46.400 Is abortion an acceptable and morally permissible alternative to adoption?
00:54:53.400 The Democratic answer to these questions, of course, is yes.
00:54:56.400 They believe it's perfectly acceptable to kill a baby at any point in the womb, no matter how healthy or viable the developed child or developed that child is.
00:55:02.400 They absolutely favor killing fully developed infant children, but they don't want to admit that out loud.
00:55:07.400 You have to put them on the spot, which for a few brief seconds there, Trump did, and I think it was his best moment.
00:55:13.400 Unfortunately, things took a bit of a turn shortly after that.
00:55:16.400 Trump, it seemed to me, came out focused and on point.
00:55:19.400 Kamala came out nervous and shaky, her voice sounding even whinier than usual.
00:55:23.400 But about midway through, there was a shift.
00:55:27.400 Kamala laid the trap that her advisers had planned.
00:55:31.400 She dangled out the bait.
00:55:33.400 And sadly, Trump went for it.
00:55:37.400 Watch.
00:55:38.400 And I'm going to actually do something really unusual, and I'm going to invite you to attend one of Donald Trump's rallies, because it's a really interesting thing to watch.
00:55:46.400 You will see during the course of his rallies, he talks about fictional characters like Hannibal Lecter.
00:55:52.400 He will talk about windmills cause cancer.
00:55:55.400 And what you will also notice is that people start leaving his rallies early, out of exhaustion and boredom.
00:56:01.400 And I will tell you, the one thing you will not hear him talk about is you.
00:56:05.400 You will not hear him talk about your needs, your dreams, and your desires.
00:56:10.400 And I'll tell you, I believe you deserve a president who actually puts you first.
00:56:15.400 And I pledge to you that I will.
00:56:17.400 Vice President Harris, thank you.
00:56:18.400 President Trump, on that point, I want to get your response.
00:56:20.400 Well, I would like to respond.
00:56:21.400 Let me just ask, though, why did you try to kill that bill, and successfully so, that would have put thousands of additional agents and officers on the border?
00:56:27.400 First, let me respond as to the rallies.
00:56:29.400 Please.
00:56:30.400 She said people start leaving.
00:56:31.400 People don't go to her rallies.
00:56:32.400 There's no reason to go.
00:56:33.400 And the people that do go, she's bussing them in and paying them to be there, and then showing them in a different light.
00:56:41.400 So she can't talk about that.
00:56:43.400 People don't leave my rallies.
00:56:44.400 We have the biggest rallies, the most incredible rallies in the history of politics.
00:56:48.400 And that's because people want to take their country back.
00:56:51.400 Our country is being lost.
00:56:52.400 We're a failing nation.
00:56:54.400 And it happened three and a half years ago.
00:56:57.400 And what's going on here, you're going to end up in World War III, just to go into another subject.
00:57:02.400 What they have done to our country by allowing these millions and millions of people to come into our country and look at what's happening to the towns all over the United States.
00:57:12.400 And a lot of towns don't want to talk.
00:57:13.400 It's not going to be Aurora or Springfield.
00:57:15.400 A lot of towns don't want to talk about it because they're so embarrassed by it.
00:57:19.400 In Springfield, they're eating the dogs, the people that came in.
00:57:24.400 They're eating the cats.
00:57:25.400 They're eating the pets of the people that live there.
00:57:31.400 And this is what's happening in our country.
00:57:34.400 And it's a shame.
00:57:35.400 As far as rallies are concerned, as far as the reason they go is they like what I say.
00:57:41.400 They want to bring our country back.
00:57:43.400 They want to make America great again.
00:57:45.400 It's a very simple phrase, make America great again.
00:57:48.400 She's destroying this country.
00:57:50.400 And if she becomes president, this country doesn't have a chance of success.
00:57:55.400 So that was it.
00:57:56.400 That was the the what they had planned for Trump.
00:57:58.400 Kamala said that Trump's rallies are boring.
00:58:00.400 And for Trump, that is a dagger straight to the heart, hits him in a spot where he's the most sensitive.
00:58:06.400 And he got angry and responded with a rambling, unfocused and defensive answer.
00:58:11.400 Now, to this moment in the debate, he was on the attack.
00:58:15.400 He was bringing everything back to Kamala Harris and Joe Biden, Kamala Harris and Joe Biden and their record.
00:58:20.400 He was bringing everything back to that.
00:58:21.400 And but this is where he went on defense.
00:58:25.400 And from that point on seemed to me he never quite recovered.
00:58:28.400 Now, it's obvious.
00:58:30.400 You know, look, Monday morning quarterback and all that hindsight is 20, 20.
00:58:34.400 But it is obvious what he should have said.
00:58:37.400 He should have said, look, we're here to discuss the most important issues facing our country.
00:58:43.400 American families are suffering.
00:58:45.400 And yet Kamala Harris is wasting our time talking about the entertainment quality of my rallies.
00:58:49.400 I don't care if she thinks my rallies are boring.
00:58:51.400 This is this is not an issue that matters to the people of this nation.
00:58:54.400 It's obvious why she doesn't want to talk about those issues, because all you have to do is look at her record.
00:58:59.400 That's the answer.
00:59:01.400 And it's an easy answer.
00:59:03.400 And by handling it that way, you pivot back to the Biden Harris record and you make her look silly and small for bringing up the subject to begin with.
00:59:13.400 That's that's the risk right for the bait.
00:59:17.400 And she did.
00:59:18.400 And she baited Trump again and again in the debate after that similar kinds of like little needling him in there, there and there and on on these kinds of issues.
00:59:25.400 But the risk on their side when they try to bait Trump with this stuff is that if he doesn't take the bait, they look ridiculous.
00:59:35.400 So she would have looked ridiculous for bringing up the fact that Trump's rallies are boring.
00:59:41.400 She would have looked ridiculous if he had not taken the bait.
00:59:45.400 But he did.
00:59:46.400 And through most of the debate after that, he was defensive and unfocused.
00:59:50.400 In fact, again, Kamala would bait Trump in similar ways throughout several times more throughout the night.
00:59:57.400 And he took the bait every single time.
00:59:59.400 It was frustrating to watch.
01:00:01.400 Yet that was not the story of the night.
01:00:04.400 The story was not Trump and it wasn't Kamala.
01:00:06.400 Instead, it was Kamala's tag team partners who are the moderators.
01:00:10.400 Now, we knew that Trump would be in a three on one cage match against Kamala and her campaign surrogates disguised as debate moderators.
01:00:17.400 What we didn't know and many of us didn't expect is that they would be so blatant about it.
01:00:22.400 David Muir and Lindsay Davis of ABC News did not even feign objectivity.
01:00:27.400 Rather, they ganged up on Trump, argued with him and fact checked him on the spot several times.
01:00:33.400 Kamala, meanwhile, was allowed to lie and distort the facts with reckless abandon, never suffering a fact check or even a follow up.
01:00:39.400 The Daily Wire put together a montage that summarizes the whole night.
01:00:43.400 So we'll see here Kamala lying and not being fact checked and then Trump getting fact checked repeatedly.
01:00:49.400 Watch.
01:00:50.400 What you're going to hear tonight is a detailed and dangerous plan called Project 2025 that the former president intends on implementing if he were elected again.
01:01:01.400 There is no state in this country where it is legal to kill a baby after it's born.
01:01:05.400 Donald Trump left us the worst unemployment since the Great Depression.
01:01:10.400 Donald Trump left us the worst public health epidemic in a century.
01:01:16.400 Donald Trump left us the worst attack on our democracy since the Civil War.
01:01:25.400 I just want to clarify here.
01:01:26.400 You rigged up Springfield, Ohio, and ABC News did reach out to the city manager there.
01:01:30.400 He told us there had been no credible reports of specific claims of pets being harmed, injured or abused by individuals.
01:01:37.400 If Donald Trump were to be reelected, he will sign a national abortion ban.
01:01:41.400 Understand, in his Project 2025, there would be a national abortion, a monitor that would be monitoring your pregnancies, your miscarriages.
01:01:49.400 Migrant crime.
01:01:50.400 And it's happening at levels that nobody thought possible.
01:01:53.400 President Trump, as you know, the FBI says overall violent crime is actually coming down in this country.
01:01:58.400 But Vice President Harris-
01:01:59.400 Excuse me, the FBI defraud-
01:02:00.400 Honestly, I think it's a tragedy that we have someone who wants to be president who has consistently, over the course of his career, attempted to use race to divide the American people.
01:02:13.400 And we should just point out here as clarification, and you know this, you and your allies, 60 cases in front of many judges, many of them-
01:02:19.400 No judge looked at it.
01:02:20.400 And said there was no widespread fraud.
01:02:21.400 They said we didn't have standing.
01:02:22.400 That's the other thing.
01:02:23.400 There was a mob of people carrying tiki torches, spewing anti-Semitic hate.
01:02:31.400 And what did the president then at the time say?
01:02:34.400 There were fine people on each side.
01:02:38.400 So there you have Kamala lying about Trump repeatedly with no fact checks.
01:02:43.400 Meanwhile, Trump was fact checked even when his statements were completely true.
01:02:47.400 It was a despicable and shameful performance by the media.
01:02:50.400 But they'll feel no shame for it after all these people believe, or have told themselves anyway, that they are the vanguards protecting us from a man who seeks to end our democracy and usher in a thousand years of tyranny.
01:03:01.400 They'll do or say whatever is necessary to prevent that, and it's for our own good.
01:03:05.400 You know, that's how they see it.
01:03:07.400 Journalistic ethics, objectivity, truth, all of these things are expendable.
01:03:11.400 They must be thrown out the window.
01:03:13.400 And they have been in order to stop Trump.
01:03:16.400 Of course, the irony is that their efforts to sabotage Trump, once again, probably had the opposite effect.
01:03:22.400 Thanks to the embarrassing performance by the moderators, the story of the night is their embarrassing performance.
01:03:27.400 It was not Trump's strongest showing, but it was perhaps the media's most reprehensible showing, which becomes the only significant takeaway from the event.
01:03:39.400 Kamala did not win.
01:03:41.400 Trump didn't win.
01:03:43.400 But the media lost and lost whatever meager shreds of credibility they may have still had in the minds of the most naive among us.
01:03:51.400 And a loss for the media is a win for Trump by default.
01:03:57.400 And that is why, after last night, the ABC moderators and the entire corporate media complex are all today canceled.
01:04:05.400 That'll do it for the show today.
01:04:06.400 Thanks for watching.
01:04:07.400 Thanks for listening.
01:04:08.400 Talk to you tomorrow.
01:04:09.400 Have a great day.
01:04:10.400 Godspeed.
01:04:11.400 Republicans are Nazis. You cannot separate yourselves from the bad white people.
01:04:21.400 Growing up, I never thought much about race. It never really seemed to matter that much. At least not to me.
01:04:26.400 Am I racist?
01:04:27.400 I would really appreciate it if you left.
01:04:28.400 I'm trying to learn. I'm on this journey.
01:04:30.400 If I'm gonna sort this out, I need to go deeper undercover.
01:04:35.400 They don't say I'm racist.
01:04:36.400 Joining us now is Matt, certified DEI expert.
01:04:39.400 Here's my certifications.
01:04:40.400 What you're doing is you're stretching out of your whiteness. This is more for you than this for you.
01:04:44.400 Is America inherently racist?
01:04:46.400 The word inherent is challenging there.
01:04:48.400 I'm gonna rename the George Washington Monument to the George Floyd Monument.
01:04:51.400 America is racist to its bones.
01:04:53.400 So inherently.
01:04:54.400 Yeah. This country is a piece of...
01:04:57.400 White folks.
01:04:58.400 White trash.
01:04:59.400 White supremacy.
01:05:00.400 White woman.
01:05:01.400 White boy.
01:05:02.400 Is there a black person around here?
01:05:03.400 What's a black person right here? Does he not exist?
01:05:04.400 They don't say I'm racist.
01:05:05.400 Hi, Robin.
01:05:06.400 Hi.
01:05:07.400 What's your name?
01:05:08.400 I'm Matt.
01:05:09.400 I just had to ask who you are because you have to be careful.
01:05:11.400 Never be too careful.
01:05:12.400 They gonna say you racist.
