Today, The Matt Walsh Show, as an OnlyFans creator, claims to have slept with a thousand
00:00:04.220
men in a single day. A recent report suggests that nearly one and a half million women in
00:00:08.240
this country are currently selling their bodies on the platform. Prostitution is now, for the
00:00:12.460
first time, a mainstream part of American culture. How do we change that? We'll discuss. Also,
00:00:16.880
why aren't more Americans making the connection between climate change and the wildfires in
00:00:20.580
California? That's the question CNN is asking. The obvious answer is, well, because there is
00:00:24.720
no connection. The video goes viral of an Eagles fan verbally accosting a woman while the woman's
00:00:29.060
fiance sits by and records it. And a Hollywood actor who has had a long career in Hollywood
00:00:33.820
and amassed millions of dollars says that his life story is a testament to the horrors of
00:00:37.960
systemic racism. We'll talk about all that and more today on The Matt Walsh Show.

The online prostitution website OnlyFans has been in the news quite a lot recently. Last week,
00:02:15.380
a prominent OnlyFans prostitute went viral for propositioning a Five Guys
00:02:19.560
employee while he was on the clock at the burger restaurant. Fortunately, the young man kept his
00:02:24.620
dignity and turned her down. And this week, the same predatory degenerate, I think we should treat
00:02:30.060
these people like mass shooters and try not to use their names whenever possible, has now claimed that
00:02:35.400
she set a world record by having sex with 1,000 men in a 24-hour period. Actually, it was 1,057,
00:02:44.460
far be it from me to deprive her of that extra 57 strands of gonorrhea she likely contracted.
00:02:49.660
Here she is talking about her big accomplishment.
00:02:51.620
Yeah, big 1,000 was completely done. So it started off, I'll give you a bit of an overview,
00:02:58.220
after going to start with, it was just like, the room was absolutely full. Then we did groups of
00:03:04.140
five, like one after the other of fives. I wanted to give people more time, so then it went down to
00:03:09.520
like one-on-ones, didn't it? So like one person would watch whilst I was with somebody, and then
00:03:13.700
it would literally just be like a rotating circle like that.
00:03:17.220
Now, you often hear people, especially conservatives, say that they feel sorry for women like this.
00:03:23.900
I have to admit that I don't. I reserve all my sympathy for whoever owns the Airbnb they used
00:03:30.640
for this stunt. You'll have to go in there with hazmat suits to fumigate that room. Now,
00:03:36.720
you may remember a few weeks ago the story of an OnlyFans prostitute who had sex with 100 men,
00:03:41.940
and these are not the same people. So that woman also planned to jump in bed with 1,000 men.
00:03:48.300
She was apparently beaten to the punch, though. So there's now kind of an arms race among cyber
00:03:53.020
hookers to see who can have sex with the most men in a day. Eventually, someone's going to figure out
00:03:57.640
a way to crack a million, which will be a pace of about 11 men a second. I don't see how that's
00:04:03.580
physically possible right now, but somebody will figure it out. I mean, this insatiable quest for
00:04:08.960
sexual self-debasement will be the primary driver of scientific and technological advancement in
00:04:14.320
the future, I have no doubt. And needless to say, business over at OnlyFans is thriving. Back in the
00:04:20.800
fall, it was reported that the website's revenue for the previous year had cracked $1.3 billion.
00:04:27.640
And they're generating all of that money from the approximately 300 million fan accounts on the
00:04:34.760
site. But of course, when we talk about fans, the fans are there for the hookers, or as OnlyFans
00:04:41.160
refers to them, creators. Now, this euphemism makes no sense, of course, because these women are not
00:04:47.080
creating anything. They're selling their bodies, that which has already been created by God Almighty,
00:04:54.280
selling it to the lowest bidder. And they're profiting from their own degradation and humiliation.
00:04:59.940
This is not an act of creation, but of destruction, self-destruction in this case.
00:05:04.580
But whatever you call these women, how many are there? According to recent reports, there are
00:05:11.560
currently about 1.4 million American women producing pornography for OnlyFans. 1.4 million.
00:05:21.220
And the thing is, that number is undoubtedly a rather significant undercount, because it doesn't count all
00:05:27.900
the women who created on OnlyFans in the past. It doesn't count the women who use other platforms
00:05:34.120
to sell their bodies. All in all, it's impossible to know exactly how many women in this country
00:05:39.580
have elected to become prostitutes. We only know that the number, whatever it is, is certainly well
00:05:45.920
into the millions. This is truly an unprecedented circumstance. Prostitution itself is not new or
00:05:54.020
unprecedented, obviously. It's the world's oldest profession, as the saying goes. And there's
00:05:58.760
nothing necessarily new about having such a high percentage of women in a given population
00:06:03.260
turning to prostitution to make a living. You could almost certainly find more per capita
00:06:08.900
prostitutes in most third world countries than you find here, even with OnlyFans factored in.
00:06:16.000
Historically, it's thought that something like one in five women in 18th century London were
00:06:20.200
20% of the female population. Now, there are a lot of OnlyFans creators, quote unquote, but
00:06:27.120
there aren't that many, percentage-wise. So the sheer numbers do not reveal the full scope of this
00:06:35.840
problem. As I tried to explain a few days ago, although prostitution has always been prevalent
00:06:41.140
in basically all human societies in one form or another, it has almost always been the province of
00:06:49.120
young, poor, desperate women. So in this country, historically, you would have to drive down to
00:06:56.820
the sections of the city where these women congregated. That's because prostitution was not
00:07:01.600
a part of polite mainstream society. It was kept out on the fringes, in the shadows, in the dank,
00:07:08.200
dark places where normal people would never want to go. And that is what's changing now and very
00:07:15.220
rapidly. Suddenly, prostitution has become a career option or a way to earn extra spending cash for
00:07:22.620
middle-class and upper-middle-class women. The kinds of women who would never stand on a physical
00:07:28.800
street corner now have the opportunity to sell their bodies on a virtual street corner, and a depressing,
00:07:33.840
I would say, even terrifying number of women have jumped at that chance. Some of them have even
00:07:39.760
become multimillionaires in the process. That's another thing that separates old-fashioned
00:07:43.520
prostitution from the newer variety. I mean, there are OnlyFans creators making $20 or $30 million a
00:07:50.540
year. The highest paid star running backs in the NFL don't make that much, or even close to that much.
00:07:57.100
Now, that's not to say that most of the hookers on OnlyFans are raking in millions. The sad reality is
00:08:03.320
that the vast majority are debasing and dehumanizing themselves for the sake of a few hundred bucks a
00:08:09.100
month, at most. I mean, they could earn as much selling homemade candles on Etsy. They could earn
00:08:16.220
significantly more if they went out and got real jobs. Instead, they choose to become masturbatory
00:08:20.740
aides for random, unseen men. And in return, they make enough money to feed their Starbucks habit.
00:08:28.260
You know, that's about it. It's hard to imagine something more pathetic than that. But even this does not
00:08:34.380
fully capture the width and breadth of this crisis. It's not just that so many women are becoming
00:08:42.980
prostitutes. It's not just that women who have many other options are choosing to be prostitutes
00:08:46.940
anyway. It's that through platforms like OnlyFans, prostitution or sex work, as it is euphemistically
00:08:54.820
called, is now mainstream. It is a part of popular culture in a way that it never was before.
00:09:01.320
It has been validated, accepted, and therefore elevated so that prostitution is not just a common
00:09:07.980
practice, but a conventional one. The prostitution may be the oldest profession, but it was never
00:09:15.560
considered a normal one until now. Now, this didn't happen out of the blue. The stage was set over the
00:09:22.300
course of decades with the proliferation of internet pornography. Nearly all of the moral guardrails
00:09:29.600
around sex were torn down and replaced with a flimsy, woefully insufficient, consent-based
00:09:35.180
moral structure, which says that anything is permissible so long as both parties verbally agree
00:09:40.760
to it. But, you know, it turns out that just because both parties agree to something, that doesn't make
00:09:46.980
the thing good or acceptable, nor does it mitigate the harm done by it. If you sacrifice your dignity while
00:09:53.200
robbing someone else of theirs, it doesn't matter that you consented to it. A thing is not dignified
00:09:58.340
merely because it was done on purpose with the willful acquiescence of all parties.
00:10:03.880
Most of all, we have removed shame from society. At least we have removed it from the things that
00:10:09.760
are actually shameful. Now, history shows that we can put an end to pretty much any type of conduct
00:10:17.920
or drive it into the shadows and out of public views so that very few people engage in it
00:10:23.380
simply by using shame. We stopped shaming whorish behavior. And so now we have soccer moms turning
00:10:32.540
to prostitution for some extra spending money. One follows logically from the other.
00:10:37.800
I mean, consider this, 50 years ago, around half of all adults in the country smoked cigarettes.
00:10:46.140
Now that number is down to about 10%, which actually seems high because like you hardly ever
00:10:52.560
see anyone smoking cigarettes anymore. How did that happen? Well, we cast cigarette smokers out to the
00:11:00.520
edges of society. And this was accomplished largely through shame and social pressure. Our culture has
00:11:07.140
relentlessly demonized cigarettes as disgusting, dangerous, low class, uncool. And as a result,
00:11:15.160
cigarettes went from cool and mainstream to obnoxious and odious. It used to be that you could
00:11:22.860
smoke cigarettes anywhere. Now cigarette smokers are given like an eight foot wide box outside 100 feet
00:11:29.940
from the entrance of any building. You see them huddling outside in the cold, pathetically in their
00:11:35.100
little box, you know, smoking their cigarettes. Society is more welcoming of sex offenders now
00:11:40.560
than cigarette smokers. Now I'm not, you know, I happen to think that the anti-cigarette campaigns
00:11:47.460
are quite overdone and hysterical. If I were to make a list of all the kinds of behaviors that I would
00:11:53.780
want to treat that way, cigarette smoking wouldn't even be in the top 50. Okay. My point is only that
00:12:00.720
when a behavior is targeted and shamed, even an addictive one, you will end up with a lot less of
00:12:09.200
it. And when it does happen, it will happen out of view on the margins where shameful things belong.
00:12:16.760
So we can't get rid of prostitution entirely. It will always be one of the unsightly barnacles that
00:12:24.780
sort of attaches itself to the hull of civilization. But that's what, if it's going to exist, that's
00:12:33.640
what it should be. A slimy, crustaceous thing clinging to the outside of the ship below the
00:12:40.660
waterline. Okay. Not sitting up on the deck, reclining on a beach chair in full view while the
00:12:47.460
waitstaff serves at margaritas. This kind of behavior should be shamed. And that goes for the
00:12:53.860
customers, the men as well. You know, most people are not hesitant to call them out, nor should they
00:12:59.580
be. And I guarantee that's going to be a reaction that even to what I'm saying right now, that a lot
00:13:04.940
of people go, well, you're focusing on the women. What about the men? I get it. We talk about the men
00:13:08.700
all the time. Okay. The shaming of men who do disgusting things happens all the time. It's very
00:13:15.020
popular to do. I don't think that there's a lack of that in the culture. But what no one
00:13:23.680
really wants to do is turn around to the women who are doing these things and saying, what you
00:13:29.360
are doing is disgusting. Because it also goes to the women. The women who choose this lifestyle,
00:13:36.560
who are now, by the way, like the dealers, like they're now the drug dealers doling this stuff out.
00:13:44.740
And they're not resorting to it out of desperation. They're not forced into it.
00:13:49.340
They're just choosing it. And we should look at that choice with disgust and contempt.
00:13:56.560
Not acceptance, not understanding. We should treat it with shame, which is also the primary
00:14:03.580
reason why OnlyFans and all similar platforms should be outlawed. Prostitution is already illegal
00:14:10.380
in most jurisdictions. It makes no logical sense that prostitution should be legal only if it's done
00:14:15.860
with a camera and sold for a subscription. Why should the more accessible version of the thing
00:14:23.100
be legal? If anything, it should be the other way around. Now, I prefer for both versions to be banned.
00:14:28.180
But what I'm saying is that to only ban the version that a lot fewer people are engaging in
00:14:33.680
makes no sense. Now, would banning it stop women from selling their bodies online? No,
00:14:40.120
not entirely. It would go a long way towards ostracizing the behavior so that otherwise normal
00:14:46.260
and financially comfortable people do not engage in it. You know, right now there is one side of
00:14:53.160
the ideological divide that wants to actively normalize the most debased forms of human behavior.
00:14:58.720
That's on the left. We know about that. But then the other side, which though not seeking to
00:15:04.300
normalize it, has largely lost the wherewithal and appropriate sense of moral indignation required
00:15:11.260
to treat shameful things as shameful, which is why the conversation around OnlyFans so often centers
00:15:17.420
on how much pity we should have for the prostitutes, how hard their lives must be, the deep sadness you
00:15:23.720
can see in their poor little puppy dog eyes. There's almost no one stating plainly what used to be
00:15:30.140
commonly understood that this kind of conduct is disgusting and reprehensible and we are revolted
00:15:37.360
by it. Now that message is harsh. It's impolite. It also happens to be true. It is honest. And if the
00:15:48.880
recent history of our culture should have taught us anything, it's that it's better to be honest than
00:15:54.900
polite. Now let's get to our five headlines. As we welcome a new year, it's time to focus on what

00:17:18.100
Yeah, it's now Tuesday, so we're now officially less than a week left of the Biden regime,
00:17:25.300
a week away, less than a week away from the inauguration. I'll be flying, well, actually,
00:17:30.560
everyone at the Daily Wire, we're all flying into D.C. for the inauguration, and as we've told you,
00:17:34.800
we're going to be broadcasting live at the inauguration, which will be a lot of fun,
00:17:38.380
and I'll be there, you know, for the inauguration, all the related festivities. I've got my schedule
00:17:44.540
full right now with all kinds of social events from Saturday all the way to like Wednesday,
00:17:54.020
you know, balls and galas and dinners. Don't get me wrong, I'm honored to be attending all the stuff,
00:18:02.560
I really am. I'll be at the inaugural ball on Monday night, very honored that I can attend that,
00:18:07.820
you know, it's history. But it's also a lot for me. It's just a lot. My pace is usually like one
00:18:16.800
social function a quarter, you know, it's like every three or four months, maybe, and now I'll
00:18:22.960
be going to like three or four a day, it seems like, for four days in a row. Now, luckily, I have my secret
00:18:28.540
weapon, which is my wife. And that's why I always recommend, you've heard me say before, I recommend
00:18:33.000
if you're an introvert, marry somebody talkative. And it seems counterintuitive, but it isn't,
00:18:39.480
because you need to have a pinch hitter for, you know, kind of a pinch talker, I guess,
00:18:42.880
for precisely these kinds of situations. And I just bring it with me, I could say hello to the people
00:18:48.440
when they come up, exchange pleasantries, and then let my wife jump in and do all the talking. And I
00:18:53.080
can just stand there. And it's fine. The only problem with the plan, well, there's,
00:18:58.380
there's two ways that this plan can go awry. And first is that I kind of have to keep my wife on
00:19:04.100
task because when we're at the social functions, she'll, she'll tend to start talking to somebody.
00:19:09.660
And then that leads to talking to somebody else. And then like, there's this chain of talking that
00:19:14.320
takes her down, you know, across the room, but I'm still standing here and, and I'm, and I'm
00:19:20.160
surrounded by people over here and she's just talking her way in the, in the wrong direction.
00:19:24.080
And now I'm stranded. I'm like, uh, Tom Hanks and Castaway calling to Wilson, um, you know,
00:19:30.700
as he floats away from me, or I guess maybe, I guess I'm Wilson in the, in this relationship
00:19:35.020
because Tom Hanks was the talkative one. But, um, and the other problem is that my, my wife, uh,
00:19:41.420
doesn't know how to end it. Like, she's very good at conversations, except the end part. She,
00:19:46.620
the ending it is the part where, where she, she's, you know, I'm good at ending conversations.
00:19:52.120
I'm, I'm, I'm an expert at that. I'm very good. If you want someone to end a conversation,
00:19:56.200
I'm your guy. I can, because to me, ending a conversation is just, all right, good talking
00:20:00.800
to you and just walk away. That's it. I don't need it. You don't need to wind down. You don't
00:20:04.540
need to, no, you don't need, you don't need any kind of this. You don't need like the third
00:20:09.140
act of the, uh, you know, of the film. And then it's no, it's just, it's over. I'm walking away.
00:20:14.100
Uh, my, my wife's wind down process for small talk is, uh, it's a, it's elaborate. And then
00:20:22.220
sometimes we'll get to a point where the conversation, it's like, it's over. I mean,
00:20:26.580
where the, where the other person is even going, well, you know, once you hear that, well,
00:20:32.540
well, once you hear that, you know, that that's, that's your out. And my wife will sometimes,
00:20:38.260
even after the whelp, she'll, she'll say something new. She'll, she'll have a new thought.
00:20:44.100
That starts a whole new conversation. And I'm just sitting there like, Oh my God,
00:20:50.620
that was our out. We were, we were free. We were free. Uh, so anyway, so it can go wrong that way,
00:20:56.540
but, but, uh, generally speaking, it'd be very good to have her there. And, uh, and I am,
00:21:00.860
despite everything I've just said, I am actually, um, looking forward to it. Okay. So CNN,
00:21:08.480
uh, wanted to, wanted to take a look at how climate change is pulling in the wake of the LA fires,
00:21:16.680
which is an important question, right? This is what we need to know. What, what we really need to
00:21:21.200
know is, is how are the fires affecting climate changes, polling numbers? And, uh, and let's,
00:21:28.780
let's find out. Administrator Deanne Criswell talking about the role that climate change
00:21:34.580
has in helping create the conditions for these wildfires burning out of control, the most destructive
00:21:40.300
in some ways that we've ever seen in and around Los Angeles. So how do Americans feel
00:21:46.880
about climate change and the danger it poses? Do they feel the same way that they used to?
00:21:52.520
He knows the answer. CNN's senior data reporter, Harriet is here. Hey, John. Yeah. I mean, look,
00:21:59.740
I don't think Americans are making this connection and the way we can see this in right here and now,
00:22:05.260
take a look at the monthly change in Google searches. Look at the searches for wildfire up
00:22:09.940
2,400%. My goodness gracious. This is the most amount of people searching for wildfires ever,
00:22:18.200
ever going back since Google trends began back in 2004. But look at climate change. Look at the
00:22:23.960
change. It doesn't go hand in hand with wildfires. It's actually down. It's down 9%. And I also looked
00:22:30.140
in California. There has been no increase in the number of searches for climate change. So the bottom
00:22:35.340
line is this. Americans are definitely interested in learning about these wildfires. They're interested
00:22:41.700
in following the news about the wildfires, but they are not making that connection with climate
00:22:46.960
change. That's the bottom line here. Okay. Can I just say, and this is not really the most important
00:22:52.920
point, but you don't need to circle the stuff on the screen. Okay. We can see it. It says 2,400%.
00:23:04.600
We can see that. It's right there in big, bold letters. There's only two things on the screen.
00:23:12.920
One of them is climate change and one of them is wildfires. So if you just say wildfires,
00:23:18.160
it's right there. We can see it. You don't need to circle it. I know you have your fancy screen.
00:23:22.540
All of these news outlets now, they all have the fancy screens that they used to only bring out for
00:23:29.640
election night. They bring the screen up. They have the screen guy who stands by the screen and
00:23:34.380
says, if you see these figures, look at these numbers here. And then they circle and they're doing
00:23:37.260
all this fancy stuff. They used to only do that for election night, but I guess they figured,
00:23:42.040
well, we got these fancy screens and we have our screen guy and we have to pay him. Now he's on
00:23:46.480
salary. And so now they just use these guys for everything. We don't need to draw a diagram
00:23:53.920
to explain what you're trying to tell us. So play with your etch-a-sketch some other time is all I'm
00:24:01.520
saying. Also, do you know why people in LA aren't Googling climate change? Do you know why?
00:24:10.400
Because he just said, but people in California aren't even Googling climate change. You know
00:24:14.880
why? Because their houses are on fire. Okay. That's why. What do you want them to do? Their
00:24:21.320
houses are on fire. You want to pop onto the desktop and go check to see if, you know, whether
00:24:27.520
this predicament was caused by an over-reliance on fossil fuels. I mean, is that what you want
00:24:32.720
from these people? Also, Americans are not making the connection between climate change and wildfires
00:24:40.840
because there is no connection. Okay. Because Americans are actually not stupid by and large
00:24:48.140
and, uh, and, uh, and can understand that wildfires have always happened. First of all, uh, second, um,
00:24:59.120
many of these fires probably started by people. Okay. Uh, and third driven by wind and wind has always
00:25:12.020
existed as long as we've had an atmosphere. And so people understand that. And also, and this is the
00:25:18.400
thing that's the hardest for, uh, the folks at CNN and on the left generally to accept and understand, but
00:25:24.700
people, nobody cares about climate change. That's what it comes down to. No one actually
00:25:31.440
cares. Nobody cares. You've been trying for decades to get people to care and no one actually cares. Um,
00:25:41.620
we're all just bored to death by it. As soon as the term climate change is said, we're all bored. Right now,
00:25:48.260
you are bored listening to me. Talk about it. As soon as I said climate change, everyone is tuned out.
00:25:53.420
You don't care anymore. Um, and, and I'm very much aware of that and yet I'm continuing to talk about
00:26:00.580
it. So maybe I'll just move on. All right. Uh, Breitbart has this Los Angeles mayor, Karen Bass has
00:26:06.820
taken criticism for being in Africa, the beginning of the destructive wildfire, something she had
00:26:11.180
previously pledged to avoid. As Breitbart news reported last week, Bass had been visiting Ghana
00:26:17.400
and Africa at the time of the wildfires, despite having over 24 hours notice ahead of what experts
00:26:21.400
predicted would be the worst windstorm to hit Los Angeles since 2011. Um, now Bass had already
00:26:28.280
spent a lot of time in Africa, uh, when she was in Congress, but, uh, apparently she had made a
00:26:35.140
pledge. Despite her misgivings, Bass said she would not travel internationally. She said, quote,
00:26:40.200
this is before, um, you know, this was a couple of years ago. She said this, not only would I of course
00:26:44.940
live here, uh, but I also would not travel internationally. The only places I would go would
00:26:49.300
be DC, Sacramento, San Francisco, and New York in relation to LA. Um, but turns out that she went to
00:26:58.860
Ghana. Um, now we got, uh, Zach Seidel, the mayor's spokesman said that Bass's pledge may have been one
00:27:10.760
of miscommunication. Seidel said, in light of the Olympics coming that the city owns and operates the
00:27:17.480
nation's largest international trade hub, that a third of Angelenos were born abroad. This was of
00:27:22.940
course a miscommunication. Mayors of Los Angeles routinely travel internationally. Oh, so just
00:27:28.200
miscommunication. That's all. She said one thing into the exact opposite of what she said she would
00:27:32.100
do. Just a miscommunication. That's all it is. Because, um, when she said that she would travel,
00:27:38.040
that she would not travel internationally, what she meant to say was that she would travel
00:27:42.740
internationally. So she meant to say exactly the opposite of the thing that she said.
00:27:47.540
Yeah, that's it. So she's not a God forsaken, shameless liar. She might look like it, but she's
00:27:53.420
not, uh, you know, you should believe her on this. I mean, it's not like this is someone who often says
00:27:59.060
the opposite of what she actually means. Um, and this should be an easy pledge to fulfill by the way,
00:28:04.400
because there's no reason why the chief executive of a city should ever be traveling internationally.
00:28:08.500
Least of all to Ghana of all places. Uh, really you should not be leaving the country at all for
00:28:14.720
any reason. There's not anything going on in another country that could possibly have anything
00:28:20.020
to do with your job as the mayor of an American city. And you're actually needed on the ground when
00:28:26.300
disaster strikes you, you have a role to play. You have a rather big role to play. You know, of course,
00:28:31.840
but Ted Cruz and in this comparison is banned all the time that Ted Cruz caught way more flack
00:28:36.840
from the national media when he infamously went on vacation to Cancun while Texas was dealing with,
00:28:42.520
uh, with a natural disaster. I think, what was it? A winter storm, you know, um, back a few years ago
00:28:48.520
in 2021, I think. And that was a big, big scandal, but that was actually far, far more justifiable
00:28:56.580
as bad optics, bad politics. But the fact is that a U S Senator really doesn't have much of an
00:29:02.280
immediate role to play in the wake of a natural disaster in his state. There's, there's not much
00:29:08.140
for Ted Cruz to be doing about a bad storm in the moment. I mean, he's a Senator. He's not in charge
00:29:14.520
of directing agencies that respond to disasters. He has no day-to-day practical role to play. Um,
00:29:21.720
still bad optics, like I said, but functionally speaking, there's actually no reason why Ted Cruz
00:29:27.140
needs to stick around in Texas while it's dealing with a natural disaster. There is a reason why a
00:29:32.340
mayor of a city needs to be there physically there when her city is on fire. Um, now, naturally though,
00:29:40.080
these criticisms that are being levied at, uh, Karen Bass are all invalid and, um, and they are
00:29:46.220
invalid because Karen Bass is a black woman, uh, which was the message a couple of days ago from
00:29:51.640
Hollywood actresses Yvette Nicole Brown and Kim Whitley over the weekend. I've never heard of
00:29:58.100
either of them, but, uh, they were interviewed by TMZ. It looks like, and, uh, here's, here's how
00:30:03.580
they, uh, here's what they said. She's got a spine of steel and she's also been a black woman in America
00:30:11.100
a very long time. So none of this is new to her. Um, we're mad because we're tired of it. We're tired
00:30:16.960
for her. We're mad for her and we're going to stand. Listen, I don't know how you hear, but I'm
00:30:21.820
happy you're here because somebody needs to say, stand behind her and support her because how she
00:30:28.460
handling them. You can see it in her face. She stays calm, but think about this. She has the city to
00:30:34.360
take care of. She does not have time to hear from these reporters. And she is also not mayor of every
00:30:39.460
municipality in California. Yes. There are people that are mad that she didn't fix the fires in
00:30:44.120
Malibu. She's not the mayor of Malibu. You're right. What is she supposed to do in a city she's
00:30:48.040
not the mayor of? People don't understand. And let me say this too. I could imagine how much it would
00:30:53.280
hurt to see this happening in the city that she loves. That's first. So take away how it feels
00:30:58.620
from people to attack her. She's heartbroken because this is happening in her city, a city that
00:31:03.040
she loves. That's... And the people don't understand. They don't understand how large it is because a lot
00:31:08.420
of people are sitting in other parts of the city. They're not in it. They're not in the fire.
00:31:14.000
They're not in the smoke. They don't see. They're not there. They're watching TV. Why? And they
00:31:19.180
want to blame someone. This is not the time to blame. It's time to get some resources. She
00:31:24.600
has reached out far. We have planes coming in from other countries to help us. This is
00:31:30.180
not the time. I need everybody to remain calm. Be vigilant. Support the leadership. Support Karen
00:31:36.020
Bass. That's all I can say. You cannot. This is not the time. Oh, y'all got me upset.
00:31:40.060
She's had a great response so far to the fires. Absolutely. Absolutely. A great... She has
00:31:44.700
done what she's had to do. She's jumped in there and she's got... I mean, we have fires
00:31:49.820
every year. And I don't remember in the 30 years almost that I've lived in L.A., I've never
00:31:54.380
seen somebody, everybody react like this to the mayor and blame one person for a natural
00:31:59.520
disaster. Yes. I've never seen it. Now, what's different this time? Interesting, isn't it?
00:32:04.920
He said that. Amen, sister. Interesting. Interesting, isn't it? What's different this
00:32:10.140
time? What's different? Well, the city's burning down. I mean, that's one thing that's different,
00:32:17.880
Yvette. I think that one is Yvette. I don't know. Also, they didn't have water to put out the
00:32:24.240
fires. Also, the mayor was 7,000 miles away when it happened. So those are a few things
00:32:33.340
that are different. But sure, people aren't actually mad the city's on fire. They're mad
00:32:38.340
because Karen Bass is a black woman. That's it. If she was a white man, everybody would
00:32:43.940
be thanking her for letting the city burn. They would just accept it as a reality. And
00:32:49.640
they would say, it's probably for the best. They would say, to me, it's a bummer that my
00:32:55.060
whole neighborhood has been burned to the ground. But look, the mayor's a white man. I'm sure
00:33:00.480
it's for the best. I'm sure it's fine. That's what they would say. That's what everybody would
00:33:04.060
say. But it's a black woman. So only black women. Only black women. This is what it's
00:33:11.440
like to be a black woman in America. Only black women in America. Only if you're a black woman
00:33:16.880
in America are people mad at you when you allow their neighborhood to be set on fire. Only if you're
00:33:23.540
a black woman. All right, here's an interesting case. Many angles to explore, I think. So there's
00:33:34.660
a lot of outrage online over a viral video of an altercation between an Eagles fan at the
00:33:40.240
Eagles game on Sunday and two Packers fans who showed up to the Eagles game at Eagle Stadium
00:33:48.760
in full Packer regalia. And so the Packers fans are a guy named Alexander Basar, who posted
00:33:57.120
the video we're about to watch. He took it and posted it. And also his fiancee. So let's,
00:34:04.740
it's a little difficult to hear the audio, but let's go ahead and play the video and then
00:34:08.920
After reviewing the play, the runner was short of the goal line.
00:34:14.920
They got one more, they got one more yard though. They're close.
00:34:20.920
Yeah, but it's not, they're not in, it's not a touchdown.
00:34:55.920
And the woman's fiancee, Alexander, tells the man not to say that.
00:34:59.920
To which the man responds that his fiancee is an ugly, dumb C word.
00:35:08.920
And that's the end of the interaction that we see here.
00:35:13.920
So like I said, very viral video, a lot of outrage at the Eagles fan.
00:35:17.920
the Eagles organization has responded. They've banned this guy for life. They've apologized
00:35:23.700
to the woman. Also, the guy, the Eagles fan has been doxxed, and his employer has been
00:35:30.700
notified, and he's probably going to be fired. So all that has happened
00:35:38.020
because people are very upset at the Eagles fan, which is understandable. I mean,
00:35:44.080
his conduct is reprehensible. I do think it's a little bit more complicated than that,
00:35:49.700
or at least there's more to say than just that, in my opinion. So let's go through
00:35:53.800
a few points about this. First, yes, to reiterate, the Eagles fan is a stupid, pathetic, trashy goon,
00:36:02.420
no question about it, and no offense to the good people of Philadelphia, but he's not the only
00:36:07.960
Eagles fan who falls into that category. Okay, so yes, the Eagles fan is a drunk, trashy idiot,
00:36:16.100
but it's a little bit redundant to say that an Eagles fan is a drunk, trashy idiot. And again,
00:36:22.240
no offense, but if you're an Eagles fan, Eagles fans have earned a reputation,
00:36:28.260
and they have really earned it. So if you don't like the reputation you have, well,
00:36:32.660
you know, you earned it. What can I tell you? What I mean is that the behavior you see in the
00:36:40.020
video is not at all unusual at an Eagles game. And it's pitiful. You know, I'm a diehard
00:36:47.020
Ravens fan, as you know. I'm a big football fan. I'll be the first to say that it is a sign of a
00:36:54.060
severe character defect and a sort of pathological inability to grow and mature if you are too obsessed
00:36:59.800
with your favorite sports team and too emotionally invested to the point where you're actually
00:37:03.960
getting angry at someone who's wearing a jersey from another team. Okay, that, you know, as a
00:37:11.840
Ravens fan, you know, the rivalries with the Steelers, and so I'm not going to get angry at
00:37:18.820
someone if they wear a Steelers jersey. You might joke around with them or something. My brother-in-law
00:37:24.580
is a big Steelers fan. So there's a, you know, there's, you go back and forth as a joke, but I'm
00:37:29.840
not actually getting mad at someone. I can't even imagine that. I can't even imagine getting
00:37:36.740
actually angry because somebody is wearing the colors of another team that is not my favorite
00:37:45.400
team. It's just, you know, I hesitate to call it childish only because that could, that's, you know,
00:37:52.440
sort of an understatement. The behavior you saw in that video was worse than childish, but it is also
00:37:57.420
really childish and you need to grow the hell up. It's okay to watch football as a grown man. I
00:38:02.360
certainly watch it, but it is just asinine to make it a central aspect of your identity. Not to mention,
00:38:09.240
of course, you know, speaking this way to anyone, but especially a woman is repugnant. However, point two,
00:38:14.860
the supposed victims in this altercation are not actually totally innocent.
00:38:21.900
For one thing, and you know, it always surprises me. I mean, it shouldn't surprise me, but
00:38:26.260
it actually doesn't surprise me, but it, but it, you know, it's, it frustrates me that
00:38:31.680
this happens time and time again and no one ever, hardly anyone ever brings this up. We don't know
00:38:37.140
what happened prior to the video being taken. Okay. There's a reason why the guy pulled out the video
00:38:43.720
when he pulled it out. We have no idea what transpired ahead of this. Okay. So for all we
00:38:51.900
know, that woman was cussing the guy out a few minutes ago, a few minutes before the video was
00:38:57.820
taken. For all we know that not only could that be the case, but it's kind of likely that it's the
00:39:03.540
case. I'm not saying that it happened. I have no clue. That's my point. I don't know, but it could
00:39:08.060
have, right? And if it did, or if there was any deliberate antagonizing going on, then suddenly
00:39:15.240
the Packers fans are much less sympathetic. It, it still would not justify the behavior of the Eagles
00:39:21.240
fan, but let's just, you know, hypothetically, okay. Hypothetically, if five minutes before that,
00:39:28.400
the woman had turned to that Eagles fan and cussed him out and called him stupid,
00:39:31.940
a stupid, dumb hick or something, is she, you know, does, is she still a sympathetic figure in
00:39:38.460
this? Of course not. Again, wouldn't justify what the guy said. I would never talk that way to a woman,
00:39:43.240
but just the fact that no one's even curious about that, no one's even curious what happened prior,
00:39:52.060
before this. And, and no one ever is. Anytime there's a viral video, it picks up. These viral
00:39:58.680
videos always pick up in the middle, in the middle of some kind of altercation. There's a reason why
00:40:06.140
this, that guy who was taking the video, he was not, I assume, you know, taking that video the entire
00:40:12.380
game. So this happens in the middle. And so you have to wonder what happened before the middle.
00:40:20.020
What I do know, and, and yes, go ahead and call this victim blaming. Go ahead and call victim
00:40:28.740
blaming. I don't care. You are a moron. If you go to a game at Eagle Stadium, wearing the jersey of
00:40:35.000
the opposing team, you are literally asking for something like this to happen. And bringing your
00:40:40.680
fiance or your wife to a game at Eagle Stadium, wearing the opponent's colors is beyond foolish.
00:40:48.300
What, why would you do that? I would never do that. Okay. Now that doesn't mean the Eagles fan
00:40:58.960
is justified in accosting you. It does mean, it doesn't mean that they should respond that way,
00:41:03.820
right? It just means that they will. Something like this will happen. It shouldn't, but it will.
00:41:13.040
So why would you put yourself in that position? If you leave your car unlocked with the keys inside
00:41:19.360
when you, when you're, when you're parked on a city street at night, it's going to get stolen.
00:41:24.900
It shouldn't. The thief is not justified in taking your car. The thief should still be tracked down
00:41:30.220
and thrown in prison, but, but it will happen, right? And so when you come and cry to me, my car was
00:41:37.340
stolen. I left it unlocked with the keys in it on a street corner in the middle of the night. My car
00:41:41.520
was stolen. I have no sympathy for you. I just don't. Well, how could I? It was so easy for that
00:41:48.620
to not happen to you. Finally, point three, and I have to say this and I don't say it lightly, but
00:41:56.640
as a man, if another man talks to your woman that way, you can't just stand by and let it happen.
00:42:05.700
You can't, you just can't recording it and posting about the guy later is not good enough. In fact,
00:42:12.340
it's worse because now your emasculation and your fiance's humiliation has been immortal, immortalized.
00:42:19.500
It's amazing to me that this guy called your fiance a dumb, ugly C word to your face. Your response was
00:42:27.840
cool. And you put that online for the world to see what it, you have provided video evidence to the
00:42:39.840
world of your shame of your own failure to man up and take care of the situation like a man should.
00:42:45.520
Now I'm fully aware, okay, if you throw down in that situation,
00:42:50.700
you might go to jail. You might end up in the hospital. You might go to the hospital and then
00:42:57.120
jail. Something worse could potentially happen. I know that. But unfortunately, you have found
00:43:03.660
yourself in a position. You have put yourself in a position where even the hospital and jail are,
00:43:11.260
though terrible outcomes, preferable to the alternative. The alternative is that you are
00:43:16.320
castrated in front of your woman and you lose your honor and your dignity. And she loses all
00:43:22.720
respect for you forever. Just as you lose respect for yourself, that's the alternative. And, and,
00:43:27.860
and yeah, jail will be better. You know, I mean, I'm telling you like that relationship is over.
00:43:33.600
I'll tell you right now, it is over because that woman is never going to forget that.
00:43:38.000
Never. I don't care what anyone says. No, it's the right thing to do.
00:43:42.460
Okay. You're full of it and you know it. And any woman who says that, no, that's what I'd want.
00:43:47.320
That's how I want my husband to respond. No, you wouldn't. No, you would not. If a man called you
00:43:52.280
a dumb, ugly C words, you would not want your, your husband to say, cool. And then nothing. No,
00:43:57.380
you would not. Don't lie. Okay. Let's not lie. Now I know there are men who will say,
00:44:02.140
yeah, be the bigger man here. It's not worth it. Fine. But you and I both know if you're in that
00:44:07.800
situation and you let that man call your wife a dumb, ugly C word right in front of you,
00:44:13.240
it'll haunt you forever. You will spend the rest of your life trying to rationalize and justify it to
00:44:19.240
yourself. No matter what you say, sticks and stones may break my bones. You know, all the nursery rhymes
00:44:24.020
doesn't matter. Um, you and I know that, that you, you will not be able to convince yourself that your
00:44:30.340
failure to act was actually the right call or that it was motivated by anything other than pure
00:44:35.120
cowardice. Because the thing is when people say, Oh, be the bigger man, be the, you know, that's not
00:44:40.040
why you're backing away. You're backing away because you're scared and failing to act because you're
00:44:45.760
afraid of the consequences is like the definition of cowardice. Um, and as I said, your wife and your
00:44:53.460
fiance is never going to forget it. Um, and, uh, and you know, so all that to say, am I suggesting
00:45:02.200
that you should risk jail or serious injury just to protect your honor and your dignity? And more
00:45:06.940
importantly, the honor of your wife or your fiance. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. And there was a time
00:45:15.640
in this country when, when, when that would not even be controversial. Like, of course your honor and
00:45:22.120
your wife's honor, your fiance's honor, that's worth something. It's not nothing. And, and I mean,
00:45:27.500
there was a time when people fought duels for this exact reason. They risk getting shot. I mean,
00:45:32.480
they volunteered to have another man shoot a pistol at them from 50 yards away or 50 feet away,
00:45:37.400
not 50 yards. Um, you know, for the sake of their honor and their family's honor, I'm not saying they
00:45:43.000
should challenge them to a duel. You know, I do think that bringing duels back would actually make a lot
00:45:46.560
of things better inside, but you know, that's, I'm not suggesting that. Um, and I'm not even saying
00:45:51.920
you necessarily have to end up getting into a fight, but you got to get in the guy's face and
00:45:55.260
get him to back down and apologize, you know? And, and, and if he does, then, you know, then you can
00:46:01.340
probably just, cause he apologized. Now he's, now he has backed away, humiliated himself,
00:46:08.280
taken the, he has, he has submitted, surrendered, apologized, and you can probably leave it at that.
00:46:15.660
But, but, um, that is just, I mean, the idea that we should never risk our physical well-being
00:46:23.560
for the sake of honor is a very new, very modern idea. And that's the way people look at it now.
00:46:28.480
It's like, there's never, no, there's your, your honor as a man is never worth any kind of physical
00:46:34.640
danger. And that's the way people look at it. It's a very modern way of looking at it. I don't think
00:46:39.760
it's correct. And most importantly, I don't think that the people who look at it the way are actually
00:46:44.860
convinced, you know, I don't think they're actually convinced. I think this guy's going to be haunted
00:46:49.060
by that forever. And I think that, as I said, their relationship's basically over. Check back
00:46:53.280
in 10 years. I don't think that they're married. I don't, it's just, it can't survive. It cannot
00:46:57.660
survive. Cause that's all she's going to see when she looks at you. You know, it's just the way it is.
00:47:01.880
So, um, all right, let's get to the comment section.
00:47:15.500
Let's see. They're not ending DEI. They're renaming it. Anti-whiteism isn't just going to
00:47:19.480
go away. The culture war is far from over. We cannot give up now that we're just starting to
00:47:22.500
push back. Totally agree. In fact, I've been making that point about DEI being renamed for
00:47:26.100
many months now. Culture war is not over. Um, at the same time, we should recognize our victories
00:47:31.120
when they happen. I think that's also important. And we've achieved a very real victory over what
00:47:35.900
we call wokeness. And I think that acknowledging that, um, uh, is important. Um, I was engaged my
00:47:46.820
senior year of Christian college to my now wife when she was 19. Uh, this guy's 22. He says,
00:47:52.140
one of my friends told me to keep that quiet because I wouldn't want anyone to know that, um,
00:47:58.440
that I'm marrying a teenager. It's insane what my generation thinks about marriage.
00:48:02.540
She's now 21 and pregnant with our first and the weird looks just keep coming. Weird looks.
00:48:09.640
Really? So she's 21 and you're 24 and you get weird looks because of that. I mean,
00:48:15.980
that that's crazy. Obviously there's not, there's nothing strange. I mean,
00:48:20.980
I think as a general rule, you know, if you're, if you're both at an age as adults,
00:48:27.580
where you could have gone to college at the same time or high school at the same time,
00:48:32.840
you know, years ago, then, then that puts you in the same kind of general age bracket.
00:48:38.800
And not only is the age gap, not a problem when you're both adults, but it's effectively
00:48:44.520
meaningless. Like the age gap, you know, you said you, you met your, what you were 22,
00:48:48.380
she's 19. The age gap is, it's like, it's not even, it doesn't, it's meaningless. Um,
00:48:55.380
because there is no massive difference in terms of maturity and life experience between a 22 year
00:49:01.200
old and a 19 year old. Okay. When you're 22, you're not looking back to your, when you were 19
00:49:06.640
and saying, Oh man, when I was young and dumb, remember those days I'm so different now. I mean,
00:49:11.600
you might be saying that, but, but everyone else who's older is looking at you like, no,
00:49:15.640
you're this literally the same person. Um, it's, it's, it's, you didn't, you didn't grow up that
00:49:20.720
quickly. Um, now, you know, I think, uh, I, there's a difference between say a 40 year old
00:49:28.500
and like a 23 year old, when you hear about those kinds of relationships, that's not to say that a
00:49:32.080
40 year old with a 23 year old is a sex predator or a pedophile as people today say, which is clearly
00:49:38.500
insane when both parties are adults, but the difference in life experience and just sort of
00:49:45.700
general wisdom and maturity is such that, um, I, you know, if I was single, God forbid,
00:49:52.260
I would not be able to date somebody with that kind of age gap. I just, how, I couldn't relate to
00:49:58.120
them. I, we'd have nothing to talk about at all. Um, but here you're talking about again, I mean,
00:50:05.700
you're, you're, you're, you know, it's age gap is, uh, is not, not meaningful. Um, let's see.
00:50:18.820
My ex was absolutely insane. I work at a grocery store and some nights when I got off work,
00:50:23.020
she would ask me to get her something to eat, but didn't know what she wanted. That was a puzzle.
00:50:28.260
Some nights she asked for a specific food. That was a mission. Guess which one annoyed me?
00:50:33.460
You know, I get it. I mean, that is the difference. That is when men can get frustrated. As we talked
00:50:38.680
about yesterday, that men, um, men like going on missions, you know, with a clear, a clear purpose
00:50:46.020
in mind, go to achieve something. That's what gets men. Um, that's what motivates men. But this kind
00:50:53.360
of vagueness, this, we got to crack the code, um, especially in terms of relationship gets frustrating.
00:50:58.560
I will say though, that, uh, in, in this particular example, like it's not always annoying or at least
00:51:06.940
it shouldn't be. And in this particular example, this should not annoy you in a relationship because
00:51:11.980
women never know what they want to eat. It's a stereotype. It's also true. I don't find it
00:51:17.120
annoying. I mean, if we're going to a restaurant or getting takeout, me and my wife, we're at the
00:51:22.500
point where usually I don't even ask my wife where she wants to go, especially if we're going out to eat.
00:51:26.780
If we're going out to a restaurant, I never ask her, Oh, where do you want to go? I don't even
00:51:30.660
bother. I make the reservation. I know what kinds of places she likes. And so I make the reservation.
00:51:35.820
I tell her the time that we're going to go and that's it. And usually she'll find out where we're
00:51:40.760
going. I mean, she asked me, I'll tell her, but she'll find out when we get there. And, uh,
00:51:45.200
and if we're doing takeout, uh, you know, I may ask her what kind of food she's, she's feeling,
00:51:49.720
but, but often she won't have any specific ideas. So I'll just pick a place and I'll order for her.
00:51:54.180
I know what kind of food she likes. And so there are times like that where, um, the woman in the
00:52:00.480
relationship is, it's, she's not like giving you a puzzle to solve and being annoying on purpose.
00:52:06.320
It's more just, she just wants you to take the lead. She actually wants you to take the lead
00:52:12.020
and be a leader in that. And it may seem like a small, it's, it's a, it's a small thing picking
00:52:19.440
food or picking a restaurant to go to, but that is an occasion where oftentimes the woman just
00:52:25.380
wants you to take care of it. Just wants you to do it. Um, uh, let's see, ask my boyfriend to pick
00:52:32.580
up a carton of eggs so I can make dinner. And he complains and complains and continues playing
00:52:36.920
Valorant and then finally does it three hours later. So why are you guys together? Why haven't
00:52:44.680
you broken up? I mean, it sounds like you're playing house with your boyfriend from the sound
00:52:50.000
of it, like he's at the house, you're making dinner. I mean, it's possible you're not living
00:52:53.860
together. I'm going to assume that you're living together just based on how you presented that.
00:52:57.000
Uh, so you're living together, pretending to be married and, uh, you perceive him, I guess,
00:53:03.020
as a lump on a log who doesn't want to help or do anything, which maybe he is, or maybe if I asked
00:53:09.000
him, he'd have a different view. Okay. Maybe if I asked that, he would say, uh, I'm out doing things
00:53:14.280
all the time. I'm constantly running errands. I'm constantly doing this. I work a hard job.
00:53:17.440
I, you know, she gets mad if she sees me relaxing for even 30 minutes. Meanwhile, she's not doing
00:53:21.840
anything. Like he might tell me that if I were to ask him, uh, but I can't. So I'm only getting your
00:53:25.880
version of events. I, it doesn't even matter because this is how you perceive him.
00:53:33.020
You perceive him. It sounds like as just this lump on a log, it doesn't do anything.
00:53:38.220
So what, why are you together? This boggles my mind when I hear this from people, you're not
00:53:43.300
married, you're not even engaged. So what, why just break up? That's the solution. Okay. If you're,
00:53:51.960
if you're dating and you have an issue like, Hey, what do I do about this to my, my boyfriend? I can't
00:53:56.420
get him motivated. He doesn't break up. That's a solution. Like we don't need to talk about it. Just
00:54:00.620
that's it. Problem solved. Break up. Uh, if you're already talking about someone like this,
00:54:07.640
okay. If you're coming across, like you've been married for 40 years and you're just fed up
00:54:13.560
and you're not even married though, but you're, you're already just like sick of this person,
00:54:19.600
probably because you've been playing house for years and pretending to be married when you're not,
00:54:23.720
uh, well then just, just break up. So that's my advice. You voted big government out and
00:54:30.080

00:55:50.240
Normally, we don't cover stories of great human tragedy for the daily cancellation. It's supposed
00:56:00.760
to be a lighter segment to kind of end the show. Not intended to bring the audience to tears. It's
00:56:05.240
not supposed to make you ask how the universe can possibly be so brutal and so unfair to the most
00:56:10.560
innocent among us. But today's segment will be an exception. I have no choice, really. The moment I
00:56:16.380
heard the story of actor Digimon Honsu, I knew I had to cover it. And the way things worked out,
00:56:23.660
I had to cover it at the very end of the show after I've talked about a bunch of other things that
00:56:26.760
might seem to be a lot more important. But the truth is, nothing I've discussed on this show today
00:56:33.280
or even in the past year is as important as the unimaginable cruelty that Digimon has experienced in
00:56:42.160
this country. The 60-year-old actor recently described his lived experience on a CNN show
00:56:47.300
called African Voices, which is the kind of original programming that's helped the network attract
00:56:52.180
massive new audiences and break ratings records. I mean, people cannot get enough of African Voices.
00:56:59.280
But CNN's unprecedented success is not the point right now. The real point are Digimon Honsu's
00:57:06.820
problems. And he's got a lot of problems. Let's listen. How has Hollywood changed in terms of African
00:57:13.420
representation in what you see since you started out to what's being produced now?
00:57:19.560
Yes, quite a bit has changed. I must say, because of course, when I came out with Amistad,
00:57:26.040
I was nominated for a Golden Globe. But they ignored me for the Oscars, talking about the fact that
00:57:34.580
they thought that I had just came off the boat and off the streets, where Steven Spielberg, you know,
00:57:47.300
used me for this film. And even though I successfully did that, they just didn't feel like I was an actor
00:57:56.580
to, you know, for whom we should pay any respect to. So this conceptual idea of diversity and all that,
00:58:06.740
it still has a long way to go. Systemic racism don't change like that anytime soon. I mean,
00:58:16.180
I will say that the pain of being snubbed by the Oscars is one that I understand. I have also been
00:58:26.500
persecuted in this way. So, you know, me and Digimon have that in common. We have maybe many
00:58:33.360
other things in common. I don't know. But this is something, so this is a club that we both are a part
00:58:40.040
of. But you'll notice that the anchor begins by asking him a question about African representation
00:58:45.240
in Hollywood. He's looking for Digimon to offer some perspective about how things have changed
00:58:51.000
over time in the decades that he's been working in the industry. But instead of answering the question,
00:58:55.400
he immediately starts talking about himself. And very quickly, he reveals that he's still bitter
00:58:59.960
about an Oscar snub for a movie that came out 28 years ago. He says that Steven Spielberg used him
00:59:04.760
for the film and that the industry didn't show him respect because of systemic racism.
00:59:11.240
The systemic racism was bad enough to affect the Oscars, but not the Golden Globes, apparently.
00:59:16.680
And now, in part because of this snub from three decades ago, he's supposedly struggling
00:59:20.840
financially as a result. That's how racist Hollywood is. That's how much of a victim Digimon is.
00:59:27.640
Now, put aside the fact that this guy wouldn't have gotten any job in Amistad at all if he weren't
00:59:32.480
black. You know, that's beside the point. Just to be clear about the Oscar-worthy performance
00:59:36.720
we're talking about here, this is, just to show if you haven't seen the movie, this is Digimon's
01:00:08.960
Your Honor, please instruct the defendant that he cannot disrupt these proceedings with such
01:00:18.560
Yeah, Steven Spielberg, I mean, obviously a great legendary filmmaker, not known often for his filmmaking
01:00:25.200
subtlety, on the other hand. And in the business, this is what's known as Oscar bait.
01:00:30.240
They're daring the Academy not to like this, because if they don't like it, then they must
01:00:34.720
be racist. They must be on the side of the slave owners if they don't, if they won't give this an
01:00:39.040
Academy Award. But apparently the Academy didn't take the bait on this occasion, which I admit is a
01:00:45.200
bit surprising. Usually when someone portrays a slave in a film, they're guaranteed to win every
01:00:49.040
award they're eligible for. Federal law requires it, I thought. But in Digimon's case, the law was
01:00:54.960
violated, which is racist. And according to him, if you don't think that that's world-class acting,
01:00:59.680
then you hate black people. You're part of systemic racism. And this systemic racism,
01:01:03.600
apparently, is the reason that he cannot pay his bills. Watch.
01:01:08.240
I've been in this business and making films now over two decades, and still, you know,
01:01:15.120
with two nomination, Oscar nominations, been in many big blockbuster films, and yet I have,
01:01:23.680
I'm still struggling financially to make a living. I'm definitely underpaid.
01:01:30.880
Growing up, you're one of the first big black actors I saw in big budget films. So it's mind-boggling
01:01:38.480
to me. Well, that's a sign for you that systemic racism is not something that you can deal with
01:01:46.240
lightly. It's so deep in, inserted in so many things that we do across the board. And you don't
01:01:55.200
overcome it. You just have to sort of like, you have to cope with it and survive the best way you can.
01:02:11.440
Apparently I'm pronouncing his name wrong. Is it Jaiman? Jaiman Honsu? Yeah, it's Jaiman.
01:02:17.600
Okay. I just, I just Googled it. I just Googled it.
01:02:24.880
I like Digimon better though. Jaiman Honsu. Okay. Yeah, I Googled it. Jaiman Honsu. Jaiman Honsu.
01:02:33.520
Jaiman Honsu. Okay. Anyway, so as you can tell, the entire interview keeps going back to Jaiman,
01:02:41.040
and he's only capable of talking about himself and blaming his financial difficulties on races. But
01:02:46.560
if you do any amount of research into this guy, you find it very quickly that his financial
01:02:50.240
difficulties, if he's having them, are definitely his own fault. And it's not even close. According
01:02:54.560
to the New Haven Register and Realtor.com, just five years ago, Honsu bought a $2 million four
01:03:00.800
bedroom, four bathroom home in the trend of Playa Vista neighborhood of Los Angeles. Apparently,
01:03:06.640
by the way, just minutes away from the high-end boutiques and restaurants in the area. And from the
01:03:10.320
images they post online, so, you know, it's a nice looking house with a lot of interior space to work
01:03:14.480
with. So it stands to reason that this actor, as you'd expect, was making quite a bit of money
01:03:19.120
from appearing in all those films over the years, including Gardens of the Galaxy, Aquaman, Captain
01:03:23.280
Marvel, Blood Diamond, Gladiator, How to Train Your Dragon 2, Charlie's Angels, both Rebel Moons films,
01:03:29.440
and so on. He wasn't doing any of that for free. He amassed enough money to buy a $2 million home,
01:03:34.240
which the vast majority of Americans cannot afford and will never be able to afford. And obviously,
01:03:40.160
pretty much no one in West Africa is able to afford it either, where this actor is from.
01:03:43.600
You know, no one in West Africa could even dream of the life that this man is living. So
01:03:48.160
already we can conclude that if Jaiman is having financial difficulties, it's because
01:03:52.800
he's overspending. And instead of blaming himself for that predicament, he's blaming white people.
01:03:57.120
Clearly thinks he's entitled to even more wealth because of his skin color. And when that doesn't
01:04:00.800
happen, he concludes that everybody else is racist. As for this particular home in Playa Vista in 2023,
01:04:06.160
a couple of years after buying it, Hanzo announced that he was allowing people to rent the property
01:04:11.200
for nearly $12,000 a month. So either reality set in pretty quickly, he realized he couldn't afford
01:04:16.000
the payments, or he decided to make a quick $12,000 a month on his investment while he lived elsewhere.
01:04:20.480
Either way, truly, truly, this is a tragic case we're dealing with here. This poor man
01:04:26.160
is worth only seven figures. What I read online is he's worth $4 million. I don't know if that's
01:04:31.200
accurate or not. But worth seven figures, rather than eight or nine. And as a result,
01:04:37.520
he had to rent out his $2 million mansion in Playa Vista. Can you imagine? I mean,
01:04:42.400
there are people throughout the world who've suffered. Millions have endured torture and
01:04:48.160
enslavement and mass starvation. And those are sad situations, but they certainly pale in comparison
01:04:54.560
to a Hollywood actor who has only managed to accumulate millions of dollars in lavish real
01:05:00.240
estate instead of hundreds of millions of dollars. Now, of course, the reason that this guy isn't
01:05:06.800
paid like Tom Cruise or Leonardo DiCaprio is that every human on the planet knows the names Tom Cruise and
01:05:13.920
Leonardo DiCaprio. No humans outside of Jaiman Hanzo's immediate family know his name or can pronounce it.
01:05:21.520
He's a somewhat recognizable character actor who has never really been the lead in anything.
01:05:28.960
And so what that means is that no one is going to the theater to watch the new Jaiman Hanzo project.
01:05:36.400
Okay, like if someone goes to a movie and sees the movie and they say you like it, and then you say,
01:05:40.480
well, who was in it? And they go, oh, Jaiman Hanzo's in it. They're not gonna go, oh, Jaiman Hanzo's in that one?
01:05:47.760
I gotta see that. Jaiman Hanzo. I'm in. No one has ever said that in the history. No one. It's
01:05:54.960
never happened. So, you know, people go to the theater to watch a Marvel movie. And then when he
01:06:01.120
appears on the screen, they turn to the person sitting next to them and they go, hey, isn't he
01:06:06.320
the guy from Gladiator? And the other person says, no, I think he was in Blood Diamond. And the other guy
01:06:13.360
says, they're not the same. Just because they're black doesn't mean they're the same person.
01:06:16.880
And the other guy says, no, they're literally the same person in this case. And then the other guy
01:06:19.840
says, okay, fine. And that's the end of it. I mean, that's the end of the conversation. In other words,
01:06:23.840
he's not a box office straw to put it mildly. And that's what separates the people in Hollywood
01:06:28.960
who become uber rich from the ones who become regular rich. If you can draw people to the theater
01:06:35.120
just to see your performance, you'll get to buy a $20 million house. If you can perform capably,
01:06:41.360
but not remarkably in a film that people would watch, whether you were in it or not,
01:06:45.840
you'll be stuck with your pitiful little $2 million house. You'll be relegated to a life that,
01:06:52.720
while not as luxurious as the one Tom Hanks lives, still makes you far more comfortable than 99.99999%
01:06:59.760
of people who've ever lived on the planet. And that should be reason for gratitude. Instead,
01:07:05.040
Jaiman Honsu can only complain. And that is why Jaiman Honsu, who blames white supremacy because he
01:07:11.120
somehow can't manage his seven figure net worth, is today canceled. That'll do it for the show today.
01:07:17.600
Thanks for watching. Thanks for listening. Talk to you tomorrow. Have a great day. Godspeed.
01:07:20.400
I've often said that gender-affirming care is health care. It is mental health care,
01:07:31.120
and it can actually be suicide prevention care. I think I'm gonna take some medicine so I can kind
01:07:38.640
of like transform into a boy, get surgery. After the surgery, I didn't really feel any better. When it
01:07:46.480
stopped being a thing for adults, and it started to be a, let's teach this to kids. Total lie.
01:07:51.920
Manipulation. It's gaslighting. Please stop. He's a boy, not a girl. How could she do this to my son?
01:07:58.160
What they're talking about is hormonal therapy or sex reassignment surgery on children. I thought
01:08:04.320
fixing me externally would fix me internally. But of course I was wrong. The fact that the state
01:08:10.640
thinks that they're more important and have a better say in what happens to your child over the
01:08:14.960
actual parent's opinion is egregious. Puberty blockers, surgeries, big money makers for hospitals,
01:08:20.640
for physicians. All I want to do is hold my son. Are you asking me to lie to parents? And he said,
01:08:28.800
yes. This is an weaponized use of a parent's sympathy and caring and concern by the left to destroy
01:08:36.880
your child. Let's tell kids that maybe they can be the opposite sex. Maybe they actually are the
01:08:42.720
opposite sex. It is an evil thing to tell children that happiness lies on the other side of puberty
01:08:49.760
blockers or double mastectomies. The left so badly wants to blur these lines. That's a five alarm fire.
