The Matt Walsh Show - Ep. 1448 - The Degenerates Of Hollywood Endorse Kamala, And That Tells You Everything

00:00:00.000 Today on the Matt Walsh Show, just about every celebrity in the entertainment industry has now come out in favor of Kamala Harris.

00:00:05.260 What does that tell us about her?

00:00:06.340 Also, my new film, Am I Racist, continues its hot streak at the box office in its second week of release.

00:00:11.000 Even The Hollywood Reporter is now taking notice.

00:00:13.200 And the feds have released a letter from Trump's latest attempted assassin where he puts out a hit on President Trump.

00:00:18.280 Why in the world would they make that public?

00:00:20.220 In our daily cancellation, a prominent CNN commentator is called out for hitting on a Republican congresswoman behind the scenes.

00:00:26.000 He attempts to defend himself against the accusation, but only makes it considerably worse for himself.

00:00:30.220 We'll talk about all that and more today on The Matt Walsh Show.

00:02:04.020 That's gcu.edu.

00:02:05.420 There's an inevitable moment in every presidential campaign when the entertainment industry gets together and tells us to vote for the Democrat.

00:02:14.720 It doesn't matter who the candidate is or who they're running against.

00:02:18.160 In every case, Hollywood tells us the choice is supposedly between the fascist and whatever candidate Democrats are running.

00:02:24.340 24 years ago, Al Gore was touting the endorsements of Kevin Costner, Tom Hanks, Jerry Seinfeld, Sharon Stone, Robert De Niro, Harrison Ford, and so on.

00:02:33.040 Barack Obama took things to another level, as we all remember, bringing in endorsements from Oprah, throwing concerts featuring Bon Jovi and Mariah Carey.

00:02:41.540 They all told us that we need to turn the page on the neocon Dick Cheney era of foreign policy because Dick Cheney represented a greater evil than Hitler and Satan combined.

00:02:51.480 Well, after last week's Oprah infomercial for Kamala Harris, it's clear that it's time for Harris to collect the endorsements that she's apparently entitled to.

00:03:01.180 Kamala started her campaign with the blessing of Beyonce and, of course, the luminary known as Meghan the Stallion.

00:03:08.020 And then there was the Taylor Swift endorsement a week ago.

00:03:10.440 But with the Oprah infomercial, things really took off, along with representatives from the racially segregated groups Black Women for Harris, White Dudes for Harris, White Women for Harris.

00:03:21.420 Celebrities like Julia Roberts and Meryl Streep and Bryan Cranston and Chris Rock and Ben Stiller and Jennifer Lopez all hopped on the Zoom call to express their support for Kamala Harris' campaign.

00:03:32.180 The expected rash of celebrity endorsements is officially pouring in.

00:03:36.340 What's interesting about these endorsements is that all of these celebrities are now on the side of Dick Cheney's preferred candidate.

00:03:44.920 They're also campaigning on behalf of a candidate who was just endorsed by hundreds of former high-ranking national intelligence officials at the CIA and the Pentagon, along with a union affiliated with the IRS.

00:03:56.340 So these celebrities have gone from raging against the neocon establishment machine to campaigning on behalf of it.

00:04:03.420 You know, it's like watching a vegan activist get a new job as a Burger King spokesman.

00:04:09.240 It's not impossible to imagine, but, you know, you'd probably ask yourself, how did that happen exactly?

00:04:15.120 What are the lucid, rational arguments that celebrities are making in order to justify this massive reversal of everything they once claimed to believe?

00:04:25.040 Well, a few days ago, the latest celebrity to endorse Kamala Harris, Hayley Williams, who's the lead singer of the band Paramore, did not provide any lucid, rational arguments to support her decision.

00:04:36.420 Instead, at the iHeartRadio Music Festival in Las Vegas on Friday, she made it clear why Donald Trump has to stand inside a case of bulletproof glass every time he speaks in public now.

00:04:47.860 Watch.

00:04:48.240 Project 2025 is Donald Trump's playbook for controlling and punishing women, poor people, people of color, and the LGBTQ plus community.

00:05:01.540 It is time for all Americans to band together and to finally defeat the Trump agenda.

00:05:07.740 And the only way to do that is by confronting him at the polls.

00:05:13.600 So this is nothing really new from Hayley Williams, who's been struggling for relevance lately.

00:05:26.360 The band's not generating hits anymore, so she's lashing out.

00:05:31.320 A year ago, she attacked all of her fans who supported Ron DeSantis, saying that they're dead to her.

00:05:36.580 And she, you know, mixed in some profanity for good measure, of course. 0.98

00:05:39.120 And now we have this supposedly spontaneous moment where she rambles like a lunatic about Project 2025 and how Donald Trump hates poor people and the, quote, LGBTQ plus community.

00:05:52.220 Now, 20 years ago, when celebrities had public meltdowns like this, you know, they were talking generally about things that were really happening, like the war in Iraq.

00:05:59.320 But now they're on the side of the Defense Department and the IRS Union and the military-industrial complex.

00:06:05.920 So that means they can't criticize wars anymore.

00:06:08.780 So instead, they're, you know, giving us this delusional stuff about Project 2025 and everything else.

00:06:14.060 But this particular rant was even more embarrassing than it looks because it wasn't even spontaneous, really.

00:06:20.600 It was scripted.

00:06:22.060 Some guy was apparently holding up a piece of paper that Hayley Williams was reading from.

00:06:27.940 Watch.

00:06:29.320 Project 2025 is Donald Trump's label of the trolling and punishing women, poor people, people of color, and the LGBTQ plus community.

00:06:41.840 It is time for all Americans to band together and to finally defeat the Trump agenda.

00:06:48.960 And the way to do that is back in front of you at the polls.

00:06:53.900 Do you want to live in a dictatorship?

00:06:57.820 Well, show up and go!

00:06:59.980 Yeah!

00:07:00.280 Okay, so literally reading the DNC Talking Points memo, like print it out and just reading it during your concert.

00:07:16.160 So she couldn't even speak off the cuff for 30 seconds, 30 seconds, about why people should vote for Kamala Harris.

00:07:23.720 You think that if you were the kind of entertainer who wanted to use your concert to promote a political message, then you'd at least, you know, have some of the talking points down.

00:07:31.620 Especially when they're pretty simple. 0.98

00:07:33.240 Donald Trump is evil. 1.00

00:07:34.380 He's a dictator. 1.00

00:07:35.120 He wants to, you know, destroy your rights and all that.

00:07:39.780 But it's, I mean, you should be able to say that without having to read it off a script.

00:07:45.120 You think you'd be comfortable enough with your beliefs that you could articulate them without needing to read them off a piece of paper.

00:07:49.960 And maybe you'd even have something remotely interesting to say.

00:07:52.740 But none of that happened here.

00:07:55.600 And this has become something of a trend for celebrities who are coming out for Kamala Harris.

00:07:59.700 A couple weeks ago, the Hulk actor Mark Ruffalo had his own meltdown.

00:08:03.320 He was specifically upset about Elon Musk because he's one of the few wealthy celebrities who hasn't fallen in line.

00:08:09.960 Watch. 0.79

00:08:11.380 Elon Musk is such a two-faced turncoat traitor because he was a climate champion. 0.97

00:08:18.780 And he sold himself out for a buck and some power. 0.98

00:08:24.900 Don't follow that guy.

00:08:27.060 That guy doesn't even have his original accent anymore.

00:08:31.860 Don't follow him.

00:08:33.320 Don't listen to him.

00:08:35.200 We're the ones who we have to believe in.

00:08:38.840 We're the ones who we're waiting for.

00:08:40.980 And we are the ones that have to move forward together.

00:08:45.480 He sold himself out for a buck and some power, says Mark Ruffalo.

00:08:49.700 It's too bad he didn't elaborate on that point because it, you know, doesn't make any sense whatsoever.

00:08:53.720 Elon Musk is being investigated by numerous federal agencies who want to sanction him and destroy his companies solely because he's allowing people to speak freely on the Internet.

00:09:03.320 His purchase of Twitter appears to have lost him billions of dollars by conservative estimates.

00:09:08.720 So who exactly did Elon Musk sell out to?

00:09:13.060 Instead of answering those questions, Ruffalo instructs his audience, don't follow him.

00:09:16.180 Don't listen to him.

00:09:17.380 We're the ones we have to believe in.

00:09:19.300 We're the ones we're waiting for.

00:09:21.300 Then he mocks Elon Musk's accent for some reason.

00:09:23.480 This is a guy whose most noteworthy achievement in life is pretending to be the Hulk.

00:09:29.200 He doesn't even really pretend to be the Hulk because when Hulk's on screen, that's CGI.

00:09:32.620 So he's not even doing that.

00:09:34.420 And he's attacking someone who's built several successful companies in this country.

00:09:37.980 SpaceX is now rescuing astronauts that the government, you know, contractors like Boeing got stranded in space.

00:09:44.320 They're trying to build colonies on Mars.

00:09:47.460 Tesla, meanwhile, is an electric car manufacturer that makes the best-selling car in the world, especially if you care about carbon emissions, as people like Mark Ruffalo claim to.

00:09:55.500 Then you should be very happy about that.

00:09:57.560 But Mark Ruffalo is not happy because Elon Musk isn't voting for Kamala Harris. 0.94

00:10:01.100 Therefore, he's a traitor.

00:10:03.120 This is the kind of celebrity endorsement that Harris's campaign is now receiving. 0.97

00:10:06.740 They're even more unhinged than what we're used to.

00:10:09.400 And we're getting a lot of them.

00:10:10.700 If he counts as a celebrity, which I don't think he really does, but we'll throw him in anyway.

00:10:15.760 Bill Nye also put out a video endorsing Kamala Harris a couple of days ago.

00:10:20.420 And while he's a little less vulgar than the Paramore singer and a little less insulting than Mark Ruffalo, it's still pretty hard to watch.

00:10:26.980 Bill Nye is a 68-year-old man who most adults recognize from his show in the 90s, which was designed for elementary school students.

00:10:33.680 And yet Bill Nye is still effectively in character, pushing 70 now, still treating his, talking to his audience as if they're still a bunch of children and not like millennials, because that's who his audience is now to the extent that he has an audience.

00:10:48.860 Watch.

00:10:50.680 Greetings, Bill Nye here.

00:10:52.520 Vice President Harris knows science rules.

00:10:56.060 The other guy is a climate change denier.

00:10:58.180 He said he thinks that sea level rise will create more beachfront property.

00:11:03.720 But they talk about an ocean that's rising, which will give you slightly more beachfront property if it happens.

00:11:09.900 That's not how it works.

00:11:11.520 Look, President Biden and Vice President Harris have made the biggest climate investments in history.

00:11:18.340 When she's president, Kamala Harris will continue the work to address climate change.

00:11:23.660 We cannot afford to have a climate change denier back in the White House.

00:11:28.100 So everybody vote.

00:11:29.840 Vote with the climate in mind.

00:11:32.000 And we can change the course of history.

00:11:34.760 So Bill Nye says Vice President Harris knows science rules.

00:11:38.540 And then Kamala Harris' campaign account tweeted out this video with the message, science rules.

00:11:43.100 So it's like we're back in fifth grade again.

00:11:44.960 And infantilizing doesn't even really begin to describe it.

00:11:47.720 And then Bill Nye praises Harris for passing the biggest climate investment ever, which is a reference to the Inflation Reduction Act, a law that, as the name implies, was supposedly about reducing inflation, but which they've now repeatedly admitted was really just a Trojan horse for this climate stuff.

00:12:02.040 And now they're admitting that it was just actually printing a ton of money to spend on climate investment, which, of course, made inflation worse, which is why Kamala Harris is now talking about price controls.

00:12:11.680 We're told by Bill Nye, the aging adult man who still pretends that he's talking to children, that a whole bunch of spending is necessary because the climate is changing very quickly and it's all our fault.

00:12:22.160 That's the assumption that people like Bill Nye have made for a very long time, even though there's no reason to think that it's true.

00:12:27.600 In fact, there's new evidence that suggests the opposite.

00:12:30.440 It comes from the journal Science.

00:12:32.220 Here's how the Washington Post reported on the data a couple days ago.

00:12:35.560 An ambitious effort to understand the Earth's climate over the past 485 million years has revealed a history of wild shifts and far hotter temperatures than scientists previously realized.

00:12:46.020 The timeline, published Thursday in the journal Science, is the most rigorous reconstruction of Earth's past temperature ever produced, created by combining more than 150,000 pieces of fossil evidence with state-of-the-art climate models.

00:12:57.480 It shows the intimate link between carbon dioxide and global temperatures and reveals that the world was in a much warmer state for most of the history of complex animal life.

00:13:08.220 And then here's the graph that the researchers came up with.

00:13:11.300 As you can see, according to this model, this planet has previously experienced much warmer temperatures and much more dramatic temperature increases than what we've seen in recent times after the Industrial Revolution.

00:13:21.580 We're actually at a relative low point for global average service temperature right now.

00:13:25.220 Now, of course, if you ask the Bill Nye's of the world, they'll find a way to spin this data.

00:13:30.580 They'll tell you that things are getting too hot too quickly and so on.

00:13:34.040 But as these climate researchers admit, at a minimum, this data was shocking to them.

00:13:39.160 They had no idea that temperatures were so hot long before Americans were driving pickup trucks and using gas stoves and all the rest of it.

00:13:45.180 So you think that maybe some humility would be called for at this point.

00:13:49.960 But we won't get any humility from Bill Nye, nor should we expect any.

00:13:55.040 After all, this is a science guy who doesn't understand the basic facts of human biology and reproduction, let alone climate.

00:14:00.880 So his endorsement of Kamala Harris is no surprise.

00:14:04.800 But there is a bigger issue here for Kamala Harris. 1.00

00:14:08.120 Even the relatively sane celebrities in her corner still aren't helping her very much.

00:14:13.760 According to the Financial Times, quote, an ABC News Ipsos poll published on Sunday found that 81% of voters said the endorsement of Kamala Harris by Taylor Swift would make no difference in how they cast their ballots.

00:14:25.720 Just 6% said it would make them more likely to vote for Harris.

00:14:29.200 Another 13% said it would make them less likely to support the vice president.

00:14:33.680 In other words, Taylor Swift's endorsement, if you believe that poll, which was not exactly a poll skewed for conservatives, may have done more harm than good for Kamala Harris.

00:14:46.140 And if Taylor Swift didn't help, I mean, you can imagine whether Bill Nye or Mark Ruffalo or Haley Williams can help.

00:14:54.540 And there are a few reasons why this might be happening.

00:14:58.140 But the most obvious explanation is that, you know, these celebrities are not respected anymore. 0.99

00:15:05.020 They've become too political, too dumb, too shrill. 0.98

00:15:10.080 They're also not expected to uphold any kind of ethical standards. 0.99

00:15:12.960 In the 1960s, an actor was fired from Perry Mason because the cops found him at a party where they suspected adultery was going on.

00:15:20.240 And, well, we've come a very long way since then.

00:15:22.840 Now, according to the government, entertainers like Sean Combs, a.k.a. Diddy, can engage in widely known criminal conduct for more than a decade before anyone does anything about it.

00:15:34.400 He could publicly brag about his sex parties and how he hangs out with unsupervised underage children like Justin Bieber and Usher.

00:15:43.380 And then he could hold a town hall with Kamala Harris about COVID and get a big thank you from her and no one thinks anything of it.

00:15:49.300 That's because we're now accustomed to the fact that insanely wealthy, out-of-touch degenerates always line up behind the Democrat nominee. 0.59

00:15:58.100 And these celebrities have become so repulsive that their behavior is now a clear and direct reflection on the candidate they're endorsing.

00:16:06.520 Especially since Kamala Harris is embracing all those endorsements.

00:16:10.840 Now, to be clear, there are a lot of reasons not to vote for Kamala.

00:16:13.800 The fact that she's endorsed by a bunch of celebrities isn't at the top of that list.

00:16:17.420 But, I mean, it's on the list.

00:16:20.020 She is beloved by debauched elitists. 0.99

00:16:22.900 Not to mention she's favored by all of the most powerful institutions in America. 0.62

00:16:27.840 Is that because she's a middle-class kid who has the best interests of the average American at heart? 0.84

00:16:32.600 Well, that's a question the Kamala Harris campaign would rather you didn't ask. 0.51

00:16:38.100 But the more these celebrities weigh in on the presidential race and the more they angrily read the DNC talking points that are shoved in front of them, the more obvious the answer becomes.

00:16:49.600 Now let's get to our five headlines.

00:16:50.940 We'll see you next time.

00:18:04.960 That's PolicyGenius.com slash Walsh.

00:18:07.200 All right, so our film, Am I a Racist, just completed its second weekend in the box office.

00:18:12.780 Still has not gotten a single review from a single mainstream film critic.

00:18:16.820 But weirdly enough, it has been covered, even covered favorably by a few mainstream outlets.

00:18:22.540 So this is the strange dynamic that's happening here, where not only do we have this successful film that these critics are ignoring,

00:18:32.340 but in some cases their publications are not ignoring it, but they just will not, being the critics, review the film as a film.

00:18:44.000 The Wall Street Journal, for example, has published two op-eds praising the film.

00:18:47.580 Nothing from their film critic.

00:18:52.000 Variety had a good piece on the film, at least one.

00:18:55.360 Nothing from the film critic, though.

00:18:57.880 And the Hollywood Reporter, of all things, just published this on Friday.

00:19:02.800 Not a film review exactly, but a great headline.

00:19:05.620 The headline is,

00:19:07.000 How Am I a Racist scored the top political doc opening in 20 years by duping DEI gurus.

00:19:13.280 Conservative provocateur Matt Walsh's film came out of nowhere to gross $4.5 million

00:19:16.720 in its nationwide box office debut over September 13th to 15th weekend, a huge sum for a nonfiction feature.

00:19:23.980 And by the way, when this piece was published, we actually had to go back and look it up,

00:19:27.140 because I didn't think we had the top opening for a political doc in 20 years, but apparently we did.

00:19:31.320 So it checks out.

00:19:34.860 That's a rare thing.

00:19:36.640 I don't think it's ever happened before, that a mainstream publication has said something positive

00:19:42.560 related to anything that I've done that I had never even thought of.

00:19:45.480 Because usually they don't say anything positive at all.

00:19:50.040 But in this case, it does check out.

00:19:53.560 And then I'm not going to read the whole piece, because that would be rather

00:19:55.820 self-congratulatory, I suppose.

00:20:01.560 But you can go check it out.

00:20:02.660 It is an interesting piece.

00:20:04.500 And it's mainly interesting, because I read the whole thing waiting for

00:20:08.480 the jab to come.

00:20:11.120 I figured they'd have to hit you somewhere, even if just symbolically. 0.69

00:20:15.100 Throw in a line like, sure, Walsh is an incorrigible bigot.

00:20:18.940 But, and I was waiting for that.

00:20:20.640 It didn't really come.

00:20:22.440 The piece mostly just marvels at the success of the film.

00:20:25.020 Success, by the way, that continued this weekend.

00:20:27.480 So this is after our second weekend in the box office.

00:20:31.100 Am I Racist?

00:20:31.680 Is still in the top 10.

00:20:33.040 Even after a whole bunch of other films were released, including the new

00:20:36.880 Transformers movie.

00:20:39.080 We now have, along with the top political doc opening in 20 years, we have our

00:20:45.500 total gross puts us in the top five for political documentaries in the past 10

00:20:49.240 years.

00:20:49.660 Total gross.

00:20:52.200 Top documentary of the year.

00:20:53.680 We've earned back three times our production budget.

00:20:56.480 $9 million we've earned so far.

00:20:58.340 Budget was $3 million.

00:20:59.220 And this is the one that's most impressive to me personally, that our box office total

00:21:04.940 puts us in the top 40 now for all documentaries of all time and counting.

00:21:12.800 So we're obviously still in the box office moving into our third week.

00:21:16.320 So all those numbers will go up.

00:21:18.520 But if it ended here after two weeks, we'd have to call it a major win in just about

00:21:22.340 every way.

00:21:23.740 And I know I've talked a little bit about the challenges of succeeding in the

00:21:29.020 box office.

00:21:30.940 When you have a documentary that's very difficult to garner any kind of audience

00:21:35.280 for a film, for a nonfiction film, as the Hollywood Reporter notes, when you have an

00:21:41.800 original film, you know, not like a franchise or a well-known IP, that's an

00:21:47.260 additional challenge.

00:21:48.020 And when you have a very small budget, it's a very small budget by film industry

00:21:52.680 standards.

00:21:54.440 That's the biggest challenge of all.

00:21:59.260 Just for example, I was watching MasterChef with my kids over the weekend.

00:22:05.060 We do cooking shows.

00:22:07.900 We like the cooking shows.

00:22:08.680 And there was a trailer for Joker that came on during every commercial break.

00:22:15.040 Five commercial breaks.

00:22:16.560 Five times we saw this trailer in a span of 50 minutes.

00:22:25.020 Okay.

00:22:26.100 And that's the kind of marketing budget that big studios have.

00:22:28.940 They're going to make sure that like every human in the country has seen the trailer,

00:22:34.480 whether they want to or not, one way or another.

00:22:38.460 But that costs tens of millions of dollars, if not $100 million to achieve.

00:22:43.600 And we don't have that.

00:22:45.560 So we've had to come up with more, you might say, lo-fi, guerrilla-type marketing techniques.

00:22:52.160 Crashing the DNC was one.

00:22:54.420 And then on Saturday, there was this.

00:22:57.920 College game day on ESPN.

00:22:59.540 There were students standing outside during the show holding giant posters of my face from the movie

00:23:06.560 with the man bun wig and all that.

00:23:08.700 So here are some screenshots of that.

00:23:10.640 We'll just go through these.

00:23:11.840 You can see me lurking there in the background.

00:23:15.040 Just go through some of the pictures so we can all appreciate the...

00:23:18.600 There we are.

00:23:19.740 There was multiple...

00:23:21.780 My face was right there peeking in between.

00:23:26.140 A little creepy.

00:23:27.320 But this is my favorite one right here.

00:23:28.820 This is my favorite.

00:23:31.800 I'm just sneaking up behind Nick Saban to talk to him about his white privilege.

00:23:36.680 And now, why are those kids holding those signs?

00:23:42.340 Did we have something to do with that?

00:23:44.060 Did we organize that?

00:23:45.240 Did we...

00:23:45.680 Did we intrude into ESPN's shot intentionally just to market our movie

00:23:54.540 in such a crass way?

00:24:00.460 I mean, did we do that?

00:24:02.740 I'm not going to say that we...

00:24:04.140 I'm not going to say we didn't do that.

00:24:07.220 But I'm not going to say we did.

00:24:08.800 I can't say.

00:24:09.500 Who knows?

00:24:11.000 Nobody...

00:24:11.680 Who knows?

00:24:12.360 Who knows why those kids were holding those signs?

00:24:14.400 Nobody knows.

00:24:15.080 Nobody knows the answer to these questions.

00:24:17.180 It's a mystery.

00:24:17.740 You know, I end up on CNN.

00:24:21.880 I was just walking by.

00:24:24.080 I didn't know there was going to be a camera there.

00:24:26.560 Or I might not have known.

00:24:29.240 End up on ESPN.

00:24:32.000 All I can say is I would...

00:24:33.900 Personally, I would never try to hijack their broadcasts unless I had a good reason.

00:24:38.560 Only for a good cause would I ever do something so self-serving and crass as that.

00:24:47.400 But that was a lot of fun, and we appreciate it.

00:24:51.280 Let's move to something a little bit less...

00:24:52.880 Quite a bit less fun.

00:24:53.900 Not fun at all.

00:24:58.080 And really, I mean, mind-boggling, actually, in all the worst ways.

00:25:05.840 So this is CNN.

00:25:06.800 This is the CNN article.

00:25:08.560 It says,

00:25:10.100 The man who authorities say sat with a rifle in the trees where Donald Trump was golfing earlier this month in West Palm Beach, Florida,

00:25:16.660 previously wrote a letter stating that this was an assassination attempt on Donald Trump, in case that wasn't already clear.

00:25:23.180 A witness told investigators that Ryan Wesley Ruth had dropped off a book, rather a box, at his home months before,

00:25:29.720 which contained ammunition, a metal pipe, miscellaneous building materials, tools, four phones, and various letters.

00:25:35.140 One letter addressed to the world said this.

00:25:40.700 This was an assassination attempt on Donald Trump, but I failed you.

00:25:44.620 I tried my best, and I gave it all the gumption I could muster.

00:25:47.540 It's up to you now to finish the job.

00:25:49.720 I will offer $150,000 to whomever can complete the job.

00:25:53.580 Trump ended relations with Iran like a child, and now the Middle East has unraveled, the letter said.

00:26:00.160 Okay.

00:26:00.460 This is what the letter said, and it's, how do we know what the letter said?

00:26:06.120 Well, because the feds released it to the media, and so now we know.

00:26:10.460 Here's what I'm trying to figure out.

00:26:16.000 This is what I'm wrestling with in my mind, okay?

00:26:20.020 Because I'm old enough to remember, what, a year and a half ago with the Covenant school shooting.

00:26:28.040 And you may recall the year that followed when we were trying to, we wanted to know what was in the manifesto.

00:26:36.180 And they would never tell us, and so finally we got, well, not even the entire thing,

00:26:41.740 but we got one journal that was finally a year later released by a local news outlet,

00:26:47.300 not even, I don't think, officially by the authorities at all.

00:26:53.520 But for a year, they said, well, we can't release any of this shooter's writings.

00:27:00.100 And why did they say they can't release it?

00:27:01.700 Because it would be a danger to the public.

00:27:03.500 And specifically, they told us that we can't release it because it may inspire other copycats

00:27:11.700 to do the same thing if they could only read what this person said.

00:27:15.220 And then we finally see the journal a year later,

00:27:18.460 and we find out that there's nothing in it that could remotely inspire anyone,

00:27:24.760 or it's not a blueprint, it's not anything.

00:27:27.940 Like, she's not calling other people to follow, you know, suit. 1.00

00:27:33.640 It's just the ramblings of a mentally ill woman. 1.00

00:27:38.940 But they were so worried about the possibility that it would inspire other shooters that they didn't want to release it. 0.91

00:27:47.900 Okay, now we have an attempted assassination of a former president.

00:27:54.440 A week later, they release a letter that he wrote where he explicitly encourages and even offers to pay

00:28:04.340 for other people to go kill Donald Trump.

00:28:07.860 And they release that. 0.94

00:28:11.240 So the ramblings of the trans-identified Covenant school shooter, couldn't release it, might inspire other shootings. 0.75

00:28:20.120 This one we can release, even though he's directly trying to inspire other shooters and offering.

00:28:25.180 He puts a hit out on the president, and they release it.

00:28:29.500 They publish the hit. 0.90

00:28:30.840 He's putting out basically a Craigslist ad asking someone to shoot President Trump. 0.88

00:28:38.980 And they publish it for him. 0.97

00:28:44.360 If there was ever any doubt about whether or not these people want Trump to be killed, 0.97

00:28:50.900 well, now there's no doubt.

00:28:53.480 I mean, if you had any doubt up until this moment, you can no longer have any doubt. 0.96

00:28:56.860 But I cannot conceive of any legitimate reason to release this unless you actually just want someone to kill him.

00:29:04.860 And you're not even trying to hide it anymore.

00:29:09.180 Now, is Ruth going to be in a position where he can actually pay $150,000 to whoever tries next? 0.55

00:29:16.700 No.

00:29:18.640 But if you're the kind of person who would potentially try to kill a presidential candidate, 0.58

00:29:24.440 you're probably not thinking that through. 0.99

00:29:26.860 So this is enough inspiration for the next crazy person to try.

00:29:34.300 And they publish it.

00:29:35.400 I mean, I've never seen anything like this.

00:29:36.740 Like I said, it's mind-boggling.

00:29:37.880 I mean, you could say it's not very mind-boggling because we know exactly why they're doing it.

00:29:43.220 But even so, this is just...

00:29:49.860 We've never seen anything like it.

00:29:53.060 The guy puts a hit out on President Trump.

00:30:00.540 And they publish it.

00:30:04.540 When have we ever seen any...

00:30:05.720 I mean, really, when has this ever happened before?

00:30:08.500 In any other scenario, if you had any kind of shooter, school shooter, mass shooter, anything

00:30:18.060 like that, and they had writings where they were explicitly calling for others to follow

00:30:23.560 suit, those writings would never see the light of day.

00:30:27.000 And if they ever did, it would be months, years down the line.

00:30:30.780 A week later, this is just insane. 0.99

00:30:36.460 I mean, they want him dead. 0.97

00:30:37.740 They just want him dead, and they don't even care if you know it. 0.95

00:30:42.920 All right, let's move to this.

00:30:46.420 This is from Fox News.

00:30:48.600 Due south of Denver's homelessness crisis, a Colorado county has nearly eradicated its

00:30:54.280 own unhoused population with a simple message to its citizens. 0.97

00:30:58.160 Handouts don't help.

00:31:00.060 Throughout Douglas County, there are about 70 signs with the message at intersections and

00:31:03.660 roadways that were once popular hangouts for area panhandlers.

00:31:07.500 Each sign directs citizens to douglashashart.org, where they can redirect their donations to the

00:31:13.160 Douglas County Community Foundation.

00:31:14.960 The country took, the county took to print media and advertisements online to spread the

00:31:20.360 message through the community.

00:31:21.920 Republican Douglas County Commissioner Abe Layden said of the initiative, quote,

00:31:26.580 the thought dawned on me from a common sense standpoint.

00:31:28.700 I saw a lot of people like my daughter feeling conflicted at the intersection.

00:31:32.640 If you see somebody who appears to be down on their luck, it feels bad when you drive by

00:31:36.020 and don't do something.

00:31:37.400 But the flip side is we all know the stories of those who maybe did not use all the funds they

00:31:41.020 received in the most appropriate way.

00:31:42.940 Maybe it's going to food.

00:31:44.020 Maybe it's going to drugs.

00:31:44.780 You don't know where the money's going.

00:31:47.120 So they started putting signs up discouraging panhandlers at the intersection, and they've

00:31:53.900 seen a massive drop in the number of panhandlers.

00:31:57.600 What do you know?

00:31:58.860 Between 2022 and 2024, Douglas County saw a steep drop off in people living on its streets

00:32:03.200 from 43 individuals to just six, including those sleeping in their cars and in area shelters.

00:32:08.600 Numbers decreased from 96 total homeless people to 69 per the count.

00:32:12.600 And this is probably not all entirely because they put signs up discouraging panhandling or

00:32:17.580 discouraging residents from giving to panhandlers.

00:32:21.520 But it's also not a coincidence.

00:32:24.320 And it's a fascinating thing, isn't it?

00:32:26.340 If you stop catering to panhandlers, you get a lot few, you get much fewer panhandlers.

00:32:32.960 And this is why really you shouldn't be handing money to the homeless at all.

00:32:36.760 And I've done it.

00:32:37.660 I used to do it all the time, actually.

00:32:38.860 Um, but more recently, I've stopped completely.

00:32:43.020 And the reason that I've stopped completely is simple.

00:32:45.680 Because if someone is panhandling on a street corner, there are, there's a few things that

00:32:51.520 might explain how they ended up in that position.

00:32:53.760 The most probable situation, of course, is that they have a drug habit, that they're drug

00:32:57.060 addicts.

00:32:57.460 They're living on the street because they've dedicated their whole lives to their drug of

00:33:00.660 choice.

00:33:01.060 And obviously, if you give somebody, give money to somebody like that, they're going

00:33:06.320 to spend it on drugs.

00:33:08.160 So you are just buying their next fentanyl fix for them or whatever their drug of choice

00:33:12.500 is. 0.81

00:33:13.480 The other possibility is that the person is extremely mentally ill, though obviously it 0.73

00:33:20.220 could be both, right? 0.98

00:33:21.400 They could be drug addicts and also severely mentally ill. 1.00

00:33:23.860 Their brain has been hopelessly destroyed by drugs. 0.96

00:33:27.460 But again, giving cash to somebody like that is not going to help anything.

00:33:31.320 But what if this is a person who's not a drug addict and not mentally ill?

00:33:37.000 Well, then most of the time, that's someone who should be able to get a legitimate job 0.85

00:33:43.780 and take care of themselves.

00:33:45.040 If you are a sober, mentally competent person and you're standing on a street corner all

00:33:49.600 day, every day, asking for handouts, well, you could use that free time to apply for

00:33:55.960 jobs and you would certainly get one.

00:33:57.900 Maybe not a great job.

00:33:59.560 This probably isn't going to be a pursuit of happiness situation where you come in off

00:34:02.980 the street and land a job as a stockbroker or whatever, but you could definitely get

00:34:07.700 a job in fast food or something.

00:34:10.140 I mean, anybody can. 0.99

00:34:11.600 Unless you're totally mentally incompetent due to mental illness or drugs, which again 0.94

00:34:17.360 would mean even more so that wads of cash are the last thing you need. 0.91

00:34:21.000 But if you're not in that category, then you should be able to get a job.

00:34:28.340 And you certainly can't say, well, I don't have time to put the time in to go and really

00:34:35.500 try to apply for as many jobs as I can.

00:34:37.240 Well, you obviously do.

00:34:38.320 You're standing on an intersection with a bucket.

00:34:41.040 Like you clearly have a lot of time, which means that if a competent person, and I don't

00:34:48.420 think there are many people in this category, like the vast majority of these people are

00:34:52.360 drug addicts.

00:34:53.440 But if a competent person is panhandling all day, every day, it's because that's a more

00:35:00.060 profitable occupation.

00:35:02.520 And the solution is to make it unprofitable.

00:35:07.500 You know, remove the incentives is the solution.

00:35:11.520 Finally, we talked about celebrities speaking out on behalf of Kamala Harris.

00:35:18.020 Here's one that, I don't know if he's endorsed Kamala Harris yet.

00:35:23.040 I'm sure he's voting for her, whether he's endorsed her or not.

00:35:26.980 But the rapper Macklemore was performing at a concert in Seattle a few days ago, and he

00:35:31.980 had a message, a very inspiring message for the crowd.

00:35:35.060 Let's listen to this.

00:35:38.180 Straight up, say it.

00:35:40.140 I'm not going to stop you.

00:35:42.620 I'm not going to stop you.

00:35:45.640 Yeah, America.

00:35:48.020 So, F America, he says, if we bleep it out, of course, but F America, only he says the

00:35:57.880 word.

00:35:59.220 And this type of thing is irritating because obviously we know what this guy's doing.

00:36:07.080 This is the cheapest kind of shock tactic available to somebody like this.

00:36:12.060 Macklemore has not had a hit in like 10 years.

00:36:14.560 He only ever had one hit, and it was whatever that was about, he did a song about thrift

00:36:21.280 shops or Goodwill or something, if I remember correctly.

00:36:23.980 I think it was this guy.

00:36:26.020 And then he had a song about gay marriage around the same time.

00:36:28.780 It's like back in 2012, 2013.

00:36:31.020 And that's the last time anyone heard from him.

00:36:33.320 So he's looking to reclaim some sliver of relevance, trying to remind the world that he

00:36:37.260 exists.

00:36:37.680 And he does it by dumping on this country, many such cases.

00:36:41.720 And I know that most people, when it comes to this kind of thing, they say the best response

00:36:46.880 is no response.

00:36:48.580 We should ignore it.

00:36:49.520 Don't take the bait. 1.00

00:36:50.900 Just ignore this sad, irrelevant loser. 1.00

00:36:53.840 And I get that. 1.00

00:36:54.380 I understand that attitude.

00:36:55.420 I understand that approach.

00:36:56.340 But I don't really agree.

00:36:58.200 You know, I actually think we need to start going the other way on these sorts of things

00:37:04.340 more aggressively.

00:37:06.060 We need to start speaking up anytime somebody speaks this way about our country. 1.00

00:37:11.820 And we need to say, like, hey, shut up, you ungrateful son of a... 0.99

00:37:16.160 I mean, that's what we should say. 1.00

00:37:18.840 Just like if someone stood on stage and cussed out your mother, even if they were doing it

00:37:25.260 because they're starving for attention, would you sit there and say, well, I'm not going

00:37:29.700 to dignify that with a response?

00:37:32.560 No.

00:37:34.180 He's cussing out your mother.

00:37:37.080 And America is not our mother, but it is our motherland.

00:37:40.280 And we should start thinking of it that way and treating it that way.

00:37:44.740 Because this lack of gratitude for the country is endemic.

00:37:48.440 It's a disease.

00:37:49.780 We've allowed it to fester for far too long.

00:37:51.960 We're now these mediocre hacks, these absolute talentless nothings who would have nothing

00:37:58.720 without this country are trying to maintain relevance by dumping on the country that they 0.97

00:38:03.360 owe everything to.

00:38:05.320 And, you know, I'm not okay with that.

00:38:08.100 It makes me angry and it should.

00:38:11.500 It should make everyone angry.

00:38:14.100 I think we've gone way too far in the direction of saying, oh, just ignore it.

00:38:19.400 Don't ignore it.

00:38:20.420 Like, we don't have to spend hours talking about it, but you tell this spoiled little 1.00

00:38:25.300 punk to go to hell. 1.00

00:38:26.240 That should be the response. 0.99

00:38:29.860 And that's not the response if someone has criticisms about the country, our culture,

00:38:37.600 our government, certainly.

00:38:39.980 Any criticism like that, that's valid.

00:38:42.860 I have those criticisms all the time.

00:38:46.240 Just like you might have criticisms for your, again, for your own family.

00:38:51.540 Now, you don't air those criticisms publicly in that case, but if you love your family, if

00:38:57.680 you love your mom and you see her doing something self-destructive, then, of course, you're going

00:39:04.340 to speak up about it.

00:39:05.200 But F America, that's not that.

00:39:08.880 That's just total disregard, disdain, hatred, lack of gratitude.

00:39:13.760 And I don't think we should be so tolerant of that kind of messaging, in my opinion.

00:39:18.980 What is a wireless company?

00:39:21.220 No, it shouldn't be a big data company.

00:39:23.100 No, it shouldn't be a political action campaign.

00:39:25.020 And no, a wireless company shouldn't make you believe that you only have two options

00:39:28.500 for data, unlimited or unlimited. 0.99

00:39:30.980 And both are stupidly expensive. 0.62

00:39:32.980 A wireless company, pure and simple, should connect you to the people and things you love. 0.90

00:39:38.020 A wireless company should give you lightning-fast 5G coverage at a lower cost than you're paying

00:39:42.420 today, and a wireless company should have an excellent customer service team based right

00:39:46.040 here in America who could help you by making switching easy.

00:39:49.940 Essentially, all wireless companies should be like Pure Talk, but unfortunately, they're

00:39:54.040 not.

00:39:54.640 So you should switch and switch right now.

00:40:21.140 That's puretalk.com slash Walsh.

00:40:23.480 I made a documentary that unexpectedly became a cultural phenomenon.

00:40:27.420 What is a Woman is the film that started an important conversation.

00:40:37.920 The documentary explores one of the most debated questions of our time.

00:40:41.420 It's been amazing to see how this journey to find an answer has resonated with audience across the world.

00:40:45.840 Watch the film that started it all.

00:40:55.420 Now let's get to our daily cancellation.

00:40:56.680 Well, in recent years, we've all watched with horror and amusement, but mostly horror,

00:41:07.020 as American politics has begun more and more to resemble a trashy daytime talk show from the 90s.

00:41:13.200 It's the springerification of the political scene.

00:41:16.620 Last week, we took another giant leap in that direction,

00:41:18.660 thanks to a public beef that broke out between CNN pundit Michael Eric Dyson

00:41:22.520 and Republican Congresswoman Nancy Mace.

00:41:24.880 It began several days earlier when Mace was berated during a CNN segment

00:41:29.880 for mispronouncing Kamala Harris's name.

00:41:33.340 Let's watch that moment again.

00:41:35.720 That sounds like self-hatred and justification of white supremacy.

00:41:38.800 And let me just say this, because this Congresswoman is a wonderful human being,

00:41:42.560 but when you disrespect Kamala Harris by saying you will call her whatever you want,

00:41:46.860 I know you don't intend it to be that way.

00:41:48.740 That's the history and legacy of white disregard for the humanity of black people. 0.84

00:41:52.120 So now you're calling me a racist.

00:41:53.200 I didn't say, I just said you weren't a racist.

00:41:54.940 That is complete yes.

00:41:55.920 You don't have to intend racism to accomplish it.

00:41:57.580 No, no, no, you are intending that I am racist.

00:41:59.000 Your disrespect of Kamala Harris is part and parcel of a true disrespect.

00:42:03.520 What can you just, Congresswoman, what can you just,

00:42:07.940 I'm not calling you a racist, I'm telling you what, the practice is racist.

00:42:10.800 You are, you are, you are, you are, you are. 0.94

00:42:12.280 The practice is racist, let me, let me, let me get, let me get in here. 0.97

00:42:15.520 No, what's disgusting is your disrespect of her. 0.56

00:42:17.740 Professor.

00:42:18.200 This gentleman said, I didn't know her name, he's trying to do it.

00:42:20.920 It's her disrespect of women. 1.00

00:42:22.300 She doesn't know what a woman is. 1.00

00:42:24.000 And if, 25 years ago, I became. 0.93

00:42:25.660 White women don't have the ability to tell black women who, 1.00

00:42:27.400 who paid the price of blood to make this country what it is, 0.99

00:42:30.020 to tell them they're not real women.

00:42:31.260 25 years ago.

00:42:31.920 They cared for your baby.

00:42:33.100 And 25 years ago, I became the first woman to graduate from the Citadel,

00:42:37.120 the Military College of South Carolina.

00:42:38.680 I fought my way through it.

00:42:41.040 So pronounce her name right.

00:42:42.200 Let me actually get.

00:42:42.980 So pronounce her name right.

00:42:43.800 And Kamala Harris, if I'm a man, I will say whatever I want.

00:42:49.440 It's Kamala.

00:42:50.080 It's Kamala.

00:42:50.380 You're doing this on purpose, Congress.

00:42:52.180 I am disrespectful.

00:42:53.100 Just a second.

00:42:53.740 You can't expect people to respect your service if you don't respect her.

00:42:57.160 At that stage, 25 years ago, she would have said it here.

00:42:59.980 She would have taken that achievement away from women. 1.00

00:43:04.100 So not exactly a clash of intellectual heavyweights.

00:43:07.420 Michael Eric Dyson was calling Nancy Mace racist.

00:43:10.460 Nancy Mace was denying that she was racist by pointing out that she was the 0.99

00:43:13.620 first woman to graduate from the Military College of South Carolina or whatever she said.

00:43:19.740 Classic case of a Republican trying to defeat a racism charge by

00:43:23.100 throwing her own victim points at it, 0.53

00:43:25.880 which is a maneuver that never works and certainly didn't work here.

00:43:29.660 We all thought that was the end of the feud between Nancy and Michael,

00:43:32.460 or at least we hope that whether it was the end or not,

00:43:34.840 it would be the last time we had to hear about it.

00:43:36.640 But late last week during a congressional hearing,

00:43:39.740 Mace submitted text messages that she received from Dyson into the congressional record.

00:43:45.840 And these were text messages sent by Dyson to Mace after that heated argument you just heard.

00:43:51.140 Here's Fox News explaining the context for this revelation from Mace.

00:43:54.760 Quote,

00:43:54.880 Mace entered the text into the congressional record on Thursday as part of a discussion

00:43:58.540 pointing out Democrats who have also mispronounced Harris's first name.

00:44:02.660 Some of the vice president's backers have suggested her opponents deliberately say her name wrong.

00:44:06.840 It's pronounced Kamala, not Kamala, as a subtle form of racism.

00:44:12.300 Now, why was any of the taxpayers' time in Congress being spent on that at all?

00:44:18.640 Why were they in Congress talking about how to pronounce Kamala Harris's name?

00:44:22.480 I have no idea. It isn't explained in the article, and I don't care enough to Google it any further.

00:44:27.340 Instead, let's just play the clip. Here it is.

00:44:29.360 I'd like to also enter into the record a screenshot of a text message I received from the esteemed professor from Vanderbilt, Michael Eric Dyson,

00:44:40.080 after my CNN interview, begged me for photos.

00:44:43.740 In this text, he says, after calling me racist on CNN, don't tell anybody, we look good together, and sent me a kissy emoji.

00:44:54.320 Without objection.

00:44:54.940 And the guy says, I'm gorgeous in all these photos.

00:44:57.520 I don't think he's that bent out of shape on how anyone pronounces Kamala.

00:45:01.460 Nancy Mace then tweeted the screenshot of the text exchange, and as you can see in the screenshot, Dyson sent Mace the photos with a comment that said,

00:45:13.980 shh, don't tell anybody we look good together, laughing emoji, kissing emoji.

00:45:18.420 She responded, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.

00:45:22.000 And then Dyson said, well, your gorgeousness makes the photos, so there's that.

00:45:28.500 Then there's a smiley, like, blushing emoji.

00:45:31.860 Now, we should note a few things here.

00:45:34.940 Dyson is a married man, first of all.

00:45:36.840 He's now on his third marriage, according to his Wikipedia, and there's no indications that he plans to stop at three.

00:45:42.580 Second, Dyson is 65 years old and using kissy emojis in text messages.

00:45:50.400 It is not appropriate for a grown man to use emojis of any kind.

00:45:55.720 As I've explained many times, emojis are for women and children.

00:46:00.360 But a kissy emoji is the most egregious one of all.

00:46:04.560 It's so bad that sending a kissy emoji should create a crisis in your marriage, even if you send it to your own wife.

00:46:12.300 How can your wife respect a man who sends kissy emojis? 1.00

00:46:15.380 And, of course, sending them to a woman who is not your wife only makes the situation worse, significantly worse, even.

00:46:23.880 Third, the fact that this sex exchange occurred only hours after these two were screaming at each other on cable news should not be seen as a positive sign that the two sides can put their differences aside or whatever.

00:46:34.820 Instead, it should tell you that the vast majority of the seemingly contentious political bickering you see on TV is fake.

00:46:42.080 It's all performance.

00:46:43.060 These people are the political equivalent of professional wrestlers, or at least they were.

00:46:47.420 But now Michael Eric Dyson really does hate Nancy Mace.

00:46:50.460 He was fuming in an Instagram video when he responded to Mace's allegations.

00:46:55.340 And he responded to them by confirming them and then digging the hole even deeper.

00:47:02.840 So I want you to watch as he tries to explain the context of these texts.

00:47:08.340 Watch.

00:47:09.460 This is the text exchange.

00:47:11.860 I sent her.

00:47:13.460 Abby Phillip, the host of the show, suggested we take pictures.

00:47:17.500 I said, let's take a picture.

00:47:18.420 She said, Abby said, when you post it, then tag me too, and then we'll have fun.

00:47:27.920 Because the whole point was two bipolar opposites, Michael Eric Dyson on one side, Nancy Mace on the other.

00:47:36.480 So I sent her, and she said, great pick.

00:47:38.880 And I said, shh, don't tell anybody.

00:47:41.220 We look good together with a laughing face and a kissy face.

00:47:46.360 And my point was, shh, don't tell anybody, because we are bipolar opposites.

00:47:51.180 You're on one side of the spectrum, and I'm on the other side of the spectrum.

00:47:55.360 And she said, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.

00:47:58.660 Notice how he tries to breeze past the kissy face situation?

00:48:02.760 There's a laughing face and a kissy face.

00:48:05.140 Anyway, my point was, hang on.

00:48:08.180 What was that back up on the kissy face?

00:48:10.720 You sent the kissy face.

00:48:12.820 Why did you, how old are you?

00:48:14.560 Well, I just sent a kissy face.

00:48:17.000 Why is that even in your, how do you even, I don't even know where to find the kissy face emoji, even if I wanted to send one.

00:48:24.120 And then he repeatedly declares that he's the bipolar opposite of Nancy Mace.

00:48:29.200 This man's a college professor who uses the phrase bipolar opposite.

00:48:33.160 Apparently unaware that the correct term is polar opposite.

00:48:37.700 Bipolar opposite would mean that you both suffer from bipolar disorder in opposite ways, which I have no doubt is true. 0.95

00:48:44.600 But I don't think that you meant to say that, Michael.

00:48:47.060 Let's just continue for some reason.

00:48:49.900 And I said, well, your gorgeousness makes the photo, so there's that.

00:48:54.940 And a little smiley face.

00:48:56.820 Again, I'm just saying that trying to be nice to her in the belief and the effort that if I'm nice to her and I prove that we don't have any bitter consequences from our fracas on television, that we can be relatively kind to each other.

00:49:13.780 And I'm being nice to her and I'm being nice to her.

00:49:14.860 These are other people that I interacted with recently, my friends, some of them.

00:49:19.560 My friend Allison, I said, nice, you look gorgeous.

00:49:23.600 Look out, Texas.

00:49:24.720 Here she comes, talking about that.

00:49:27.180 Nell Painter, a world-renowned historian.

00:49:30.660 On her Instagram, I posted, after she posted about she's a Mary Ellen von der Heiden fellow in letters of the American Academy in Berlin.

00:49:40.640 In public, I said, gorgeous and brilliant all at once, a face that's smiling with hearts and a kissy face, right?

00:49:54.860 I said, keep up the great work.

00:49:58.160 Then there is my friend Terry, who I was giving tickets to for the Democratic National Convention.

00:50:05.480 I said, you know I can if I will.

00:50:07.300 Everybody and they mama want these tickets for today.

00:50:09.440 You look gorgeous, as always.

00:50:12.840 I congratulated her on the interview she did with Kamala Harris.

00:50:16.800 And then on another interview, saving people of color, saying people of color are eating cats, that's racism.

00:50:22.260 I was quoting her.

00:50:23.360 I said, thank you, Dana Bash.

00:50:25.240 Besides being brilliant and courageous, you also look gorgeous.

00:50:30.360 And then I put a power hand and a smiley face with hearts.

00:50:37.480 I ain't hitting on Nancy Mace. 0.80

00:50:40.200 Okay, so he's sending the smiley face with hearts and a kissy face.

00:50:47.980 What does a smiley face with hearts look like?

00:50:50.120 I'm trying to find it on my...

00:50:51.960 Oh, that...

00:50:52.680 Okay, so it's a blushing smiley face with hearts floating around.

00:50:57.600 This is what a 65-year-old man is sending people.

00:50:59.720 Is anyone else outraged by that alone?

00:51:02.760 I'm the only one left.

00:51:03.940 I'm the only man left in America who understands the problem with emojis.

00:51:08.720 Like, every day, it's another man who I thought was on my side on this.

00:51:13.940 I get a text message, and there's an emoji.

00:51:18.120 You know, 10 years ago, there were no men sending emojis.

00:51:20.800 Not a single one.

00:51:21.800 And now they all do.

00:51:22.420 It doesn't matter how old they are.

00:51:23.260 The boomers are doing it. 1.00

00:51:25.960 I mean, they're the worst offenders. 0.81

00:51:29.160 So, anyway, just to review.

00:51:32.220 This man is offering all of this information willingly in defense of himself.

00:51:37.720 His defense is that he's constantly sending kissy face emojis to his female colleagues

00:51:43.480 and calling them gorgeous.

00:51:45.600 So that's his defense, is that he does it all the time.

00:51:47.360 He flirts with lots of women, which means he's not really flirting with this woman.

00:51:51.640 That appears to be his excuse.

00:51:53.980 But you seem to be confused, Michael. 0.86

00:51:55.880 You're only proving that you're a creepy, weird old man, which proves Nancy Mace's point. 0.63

00:52:01.460 It doesn't refute it. 0.92

00:52:02.920 And I say that, by the way, as someone who, you know, in the past has been very critical

00:52:06.760 of the excesses of the Me Too movement.

00:52:09.180 And there have been many cases of men whose careers were destroyed for innocuous jokes

00:52:13.260 or innocent, if perhaps awkward, compliments.

00:52:15.900 But sending kissy faces to women you aren't married to and calling them gorgeous is quite

00:52:21.060 obviously well outside the bounds of what would be considered appropriate.

00:52:26.260 There's never a scenario where a married man should be texting women who aren't his wife 0.99

00:52:30.820 and calling them gorgeous, especially not with smiley faces and hearts floating around them.

00:52:36.760 Though, again, he shouldn't be sending the smiley face and heart to anyone at all.

00:52:40.760 So, Dyson has only further implicated himself here.

00:52:43.880 He's proved the opposite of what he presumably set out to prove.

00:52:47.180 Most of all, he's proved, again, that political discourse in this country is dominated by weird 0.99

00:52:53.600 creeps who are also, and we cannot state this strongly enough, very, very dumb. 0.97

00:53:00.360 And that is why Michael Eric Dyson is today canceled. 0.99

00:53:05.520 That'll do it for the show today.

00:53:06.240 Thanks for watching.

00:53:06.760 Thanks for listening.

00:53:07.440 Have a great day.

00:53:08.940 Godspeed. 0.99

00:53:09.260 Republicans are Nazis. 1.00

00:53:17.700 You cannot separate yourselves from the bad white people. 1.00

00:53:21.300 Growing up, I never thought much about race. 0.96

00:53:23.240 It never really seemed to matter that much.

00:53:25.080 At least not to me.

00:53:25.880 Am I racist?

00:53:27.060 I would really appreciate it if you love.

00:53:28.360 I'm trying to learn.

00:53:29.060 I'm on this journey.

00:53:30.340 If I'm going to sort this out, I need to go deeper undercover.

00:53:32.940 Joining us now is Matt, certified DEI expert.

00:53:39.580 Here with my certifications.

00:53:40.700 What you're doing is you're stretching out of your whiteness. 0.71

00:53:43.440 This is more for you than this for you.

00:53:44.420 Is America inherently racist?

00:53:45.980 The word inherent is challenging there.

00:53:47.940 I want to rename the George Washington Monument to the George Floyd Monument.

00:53:51.100 America is racist to its bones.

00:53:52.960 So inherently. 0.98

00:53:53.820 Yeah.

00:53:54.240 This country is a piece of... 0.98

00:53:55.320 White folks. 1.00

00:53:57.980 White trash. 1.00

00:53:58.480 White supremacy. 1.00

00:53:59.260 White woman. 1.00

00:53:59.840 White boy.

00:54:00.260 Is there a black person around here?

00:54:01.660 What's a black person right here? 0.86

00:54:03.000 Does he not exist?

00:54:05.560 Hi, Robin.

00:54:06.320 Hi.

00:54:06.680 What's your name?

00:54:07.620 I'm Matt.

00:54:08.120 I just had to ask who you are because you have to be careful.

00:54:10.760 Never be too careful.

00:54:12.680 In theaters now.

00:54:13.820 Rated PG-13.
