The Matt Walsh Show - Ep. 1632 - The Chilling Backstory Behind The Anti-White Mob Attack In Cincinnati

00:00:00.000 Today on That Wall Show, there's been a lot of discussion about the brutal assault on white people in Cincinnati over the weekend.

00:00:04.880 I've looked into the story even deeper and found that in Cincinnati, this is a bigger, more systemic problem than most people realize.

00:00:10.360 And we'll discuss that.

00:00:11.100 Also, Zoran Mamdani, who wants to be the next mayor of New York City, has spent the last several days in a compound in Uganda.

00:00:17.060 And Jasmine Crockett gets her first big front page profile in a major magazine, and it does not go very well for her.

00:00:23.120 Plus, a very popular fitness influencer runs afoul of the leftist outrage mob and responds in exactly the wrong way.

00:00:30.000 All of that and more today on The Matt Wall Show.

00:00:31.640 All right.

00:00:57.700 So thanks to Bearskin for sponsoring today's show.

00:01:00.460 They sent me their heavy storm rain jacket and hoodie combo, and I decided I haven't been wearing it for the last couple of times we've talked about it because it's so boiling hot in the room where I am.

00:01:11.380 But I did want to put it on because I think I look great in this jacket, and anyone can look great in this jacket.

00:01:17.240 That's the great thing about the jacket.

00:01:19.840 And the even better thing is that this is the best three-in-one rain jacket on the market.

00:01:25.200 It's the best one I've ever owned.

00:01:26.500 It folds down into its own stash pocket as well.

00:01:29.120 It takes up almost no space in your backpack or pocket.

00:01:31.780 And it's a total game changer in heavy or light rain.

00:01:34.640 This thing's fully waterproof.

00:01:35.940 When I go out fishing in the kayak, I throw this thing in the – if it looks like it might rain, throw this thing in the kayak with me, bring it with me.

00:01:41.900 And that's because it's got fully taped seams, silicone-sealed, zips, adjustable cuffs, and the hood is designed to not allow any water near your face.

00:01:50.160 And it's not just any old jacket.

00:01:51.200 It's also got five waterproof pockets, so all your gear stays dry.

00:01:55.340 Whether you're hiking, fishing, biking, getting caught in a storm on your morning commute, whatever it is, this is the one crucial rain jacket that you need.

00:02:02.440 And here's the best part.

00:02:03.540 It actually zips into the bearskin hoodie, turning both into a three-in-one all-weather system.

00:02:08.340 So your fleece stays warm and dry underneath, and you stay comfortable and dry on the outside.

00:02:14.380 You need to get this jacket.

00:02:15.840 This is my favorite jacket.

00:02:17.140 But not just for – you know, you go outside, you go fishing, you go do anything outdoors, go for a hike.

00:02:23.360 I always bring this jacket.

00:02:24.540 But it's also good to just wear around.

00:02:26.000 It's a good everyday jacket as well.

00:02:27.720 When you order your bearskin rain jacket, you'll get fast delivery and free shipping from within the U.S.

00:02:53.740 But now we've all seen the footage of a black mob attacking and brutally beating several white people on the streets of Cincinnati during a music festival.

00:03:00.940 One white woman was knocked unconscious by an adult man, causing blood to flow from her mouth while she's lying on the ground. 0.80

00:03:06.180 Meanwhile, as one white guy was kicked and dragged away, one of the thugs yelled,

00:03:10.220 he shouldn't be outside, as if certain races were barred from walking down public streets.

00:03:14.840 Even though most mainstream outlets have attempted to censor the racial dimension of the story,

00:03:19.280 at this point, you'd have to be blind to miss it.

00:03:21.760 Video evidence is difficult to downplay or deny, especially now that some social media platforms aren't relentlessly censored to the same degree that they once were.

00:03:31.260 And therefore, as we discussed yesterday, the police chief in Cincinnati, a bitter old schoolmarm named Terry something or other,

00:03:37.460 has decided to attack the media as well as the people who filmed the violence.

00:03:41.280 And she doesn't know what else to do. 0.98

00:03:43.640 She can't blame black people. 0.96

00:03:45.260 She can't blame the people who actually committed this because that would be racist.

00:03:49.220 She certainly can't accept responsibility for the fact that Cincinnati police were nowhere to be found as downtown Cincinnati transformed into Mogadishu,

00:03:57.140 minus the Blackhawk helicopters.

00:03:59.040 So her response is to wag her finger at everybody else. 1.00

00:04:02.240 Short of blaming the people who were nearly pummeled to death,

00:04:04.460 Terry took the single most shameful and unconvincing approach that she possibly could have taken. 0.97

00:04:09.220 And at the same time, it would be a mistake to place all of the blame at the hands of useless bureaucrats like this police chief. 0.80

00:04:15.860 Despite what you're being told, what happened in Cincinnati over the weekend was not solely the result of incompetence by the leadership of the police force, 0.90

00:04:23.440 nor was it the product of a verbal altercation or a sudden and unexpected fight or whatever euphemism they're using.

00:04:31.100 The truth about the violence on Saturday, which no one is discussing in any great detail, as far as I can tell,

00:04:36.540 is that politicians and media outlets have spent the last decade doing everything they can to foment anti-white violence and race hatred,

00:04:46.100 specifically in downtown Cincinnati.

00:04:48.820 I mean, this is happening everywhere, of course, but there's a particular version of this problem that's been happening in Cincinnati.

00:04:56.360 The violence was, in that sense, calculated and premeditated.

00:04:59.920 It's a result of a strategy that was implemented intentionally.

00:05:05.060 For years, there has been a coordinated effort to use this music festival as ground zero for basically an open race war.

00:05:12.980 And on Saturday, those efforts paid off.

00:05:15.880 I first noticed what was going on when I looked through some old footage from the Cincinnati Music Festival over the years.

00:05:21.960 A lot of news reports seemed pretty innocuous at first.

00:05:25.000 It was standard fare about the headliners and the large crowds and all the stuff you expect.

00:05:29.640 But then I caught a quick moment in a segment that aired in 2017, which seemed a little bit out of place.

00:05:35.700 Watch.

00:05:36.540 Happening now, right here at home, thousands of people from all over the country are at Paul Brown Stadium for the Cincinnati Music Festival.

00:05:45.220 Not on your sides.

00:05:46.140 Ashley Zilka is live there and tells us why this three-day event draws so many people, Ashley.

00:05:51.880 Well, the Cincinnati Music Festival is the second largest R&B festival in the entire country.

00:05:59.120 And you can see things are coming off to a great start outside of the stadium.

00:06:03.020 I like the vendors, you know, get to get some stuff that I, you know, just to spend money with the black entrepreneurs.

00:06:08.760 I like to support the city of Cincinnati.

00:06:11.720 They treat us well.

00:06:12.900 And the artists, of course, you know.

00:06:14.560 And then I just like spending money.

00:06:16.540 You can't take it with you.

00:06:17.920 Now, everyone, of course, is very excited about the headliner, who is Mary J. Blige.

00:06:24.240 So did you catch that?

00:06:25.140 He says, I like the vendors, you know, I like getting to spend money with the black entrepreneurs.

00:06:30.380 Now, imagine going to, say, Coachella and telling the local news that you're excited to spend money with the white entrepreneurs. 0.99

00:06:38.340 You think local news would air that footage outside of an attempt to ruin your life and the lives of everybody you know?

00:06:43.260 I mean, it would either get immediately deleted or it would be a national scandal.

00:06:48.100 Those are the two options.

00:06:50.200 And yet, in this case, when the guy says he's excited to buy from black people at Cincinnati Music Festival, it was an offhand comment, one that the reporter didn't even comment on.

00:06:59.100 And that suggests, of course, that this was a very common sentiment in Cincinnati.

00:07:03.960 Again, that footage was from 2017, well before the George Floyd hysteria.

00:07:07.340 But it was not a fleeting sentiment.

00:07:10.180 In 2019, black activists went to the local media to announce very clearly that the Cincinnati Music Festival, the same music festival all this violence happened, or would happen years after, would be an opportunity to boycott white businesses while patronizing black owned businesses. 0.76

00:07:26.960 This time, the justification for the boycott, supposedly, was that a black woman named Tracy Hunter had been mistreated by the justice system. 0.96

00:07:35.200 And we'll have more on that narrative in a moment.

00:07:37.640 Therefore, the activists said it was important for everybody at the Cincinnati Music Festival to patronize black owned businesses and to avoid giving white people their money.

00:07:46.060 And once again, the local news media promoted this uncritically.

00:07:49.800 This is from 2019.

00:07:51.160 Watch this.

00:07:51.520 It's a big weekend in Cincinnati, and supporters of Tracy Hunter are hoping to capitalize on that.

00:07:57.240 They say they'll be spreading the word about her case during the Cincinnati Music Festival and encouraging fans to shop at businesses owned by African-Americans.

00:08:05.300 Anjanette Levy is live on Fountain Square now, where some festivities are already underway.

00:08:10.000 Anjanette, good evening.

00:08:12.640 Good evening, Kyle.

00:08:13.660 You know, it seems like it's going to be a really fun time down here.

00:08:16.320 We've got a lot of music.

00:08:17.320 A lot of vendors are already here.

00:08:18.780 They protested outside the Justice Center last night, calling on people who attend the music festival this weekend to patronize African-American businesses only.

00:08:30.880 Ware believes it could ramp up after the festival.

00:08:33.660 I think they're going to start earmarking places to boycott.

00:08:37.080 I think that's probably coming next.

00:08:38.760 And you don't want to see that happen here in Cincinnati or Hamilton County, but they've made this happen.

00:08:45.120 Tens of thousands will come to Cincinnati for this weekend's festival.

00:08:48.500 Including a large number of African-Americans.

00:08:51.720 Tracy Hunter's supporters see this as an opportunity to send a message.

00:08:56.280 And community members have decided that they are going to request individuals coming in for this festival to be very careful where they spend their money.

00:09:07.400 Bishop Bobby Hilton wants festival goers to be careful where they spend their money.

00:09:12.300 That segment begins with the white news anchors talking about how great the Cincinnati Music Festival is.

00:09:17.720 They tell us there's exciting music and food and very cheerful and peppy about it. 0.78

00:09:22.780 And then they segue immediately into mob-like threats from black activists and media personalities, which are clearly directed at white people.

00:09:28.620 It's one thread after another, quote, I think they're going to start earmarking places to boycott.

00:09:34.180 You don't want to see that, but they've made this happen.

00:09:37.540 And then, quote, the community members have decided that they're going to request individuals coming into this festival to be very careful where they spend their money.

00:09:45.400 Let's be clear about this.

00:09:48.040 The fact that news stations in Cincinnati were eager to air these threats and the fact that no one in Cincinnati's political leadership took action to immediately secure this festival or even to simply denounce this open anti-white race hatred amounts to an endorsement of the racial violence and terrorism that inevitably resulted several years later.

00:10:07.300 There is no logical connection whatsoever between the plight of a woman named Tracy Hunter and a mass boycott of white businesses. 0.96

00:10:17.320 The only connection is that these people hate white people. 0.97

00:10:20.620 That's it. 0.99

00:10:22.020 And by the way, who is Tracy Hunter, you might ask?

00:10:23.860 Well, we've actually talked about her before on the show as it happens.

00:10:27.740 She made history as the first black woman to serve as a judge on Hamilton County's juvenile court.

00:10:32.540 And guess what?

00:10:33.960 She immediately engaged in flagrant corruption as soon as she broke the glass ceiling. 1.00

00:10:38.560 The Ohio Supreme Court had to suspend her license to practice law.

00:10:41.760 She intervened in a case of misconduct to help her brother, leading to her conviction of unlawful conduct on the bench.

00:10:48.000 And at sentencing, she was held responsible for, quote, nepotism, improper judicial temperament, tardiness in rendering decisions, and denying public access to her court. 0.58

00:10:57.420 And then after her sentencing, she went limp and had to be dragged out of the courthouse. 0.99

00:11:02.540 Keep in mind, all this happened before this boycott.

00:11:06.060 Watch.

00:11:07.240 Seconds after Judge Patrick Dinkelacher affirmed Tracy Hunter's jail sentence, his courtroom erupted in chaos.

00:11:13.120 Three, you are due six months in the Hamilton County Justice Center.

00:11:16.220 Credit one day.

00:11:18.060 Mr. and Ms. Deputy can take her away. 1.00

00:11:20.860 A woman who seemed to run to Hunter's defense was quickly taken into custody.

00:11:27.140 Meanwhile, Hunter fell limp in the arms of a deputy who ended up dragging the former juvenile court judge away from her outraged supporters.

00:11:34.600 They dragged her out of the courtroom. 0.65

00:11:38.500 What could the justice say?

00:11:40.420 This is the person, an obviously corrupt judge, that they used as a justification to punish all of the white people in downtown Cincinnati during this music festival.

00:11:50.320 This was the pretext. 0.96

00:11:52.140 It's a complete and total farce.

00:11:53.560 And again, the local media in Cincinnati didn't simply report on this boycott in the name of this corrupt judge.

00:11:58.580 They encouraged it.

00:12:00.520 They provided a list on their website of all the black owned businesses at the Cincinnati Music Festival so that people would know how to avoid the white businesses. 1.00

00:12:09.800 And the government of Cincinnati posted the list also.

00:12:12.660 Watch.

00:12:13.700 Downtown is really bustling tonight.

00:12:15.600 Yes, it is.

00:12:16.000 Yeah, Reds game, big concert at U.S. Bank Arena, and the biggest event of all, the Cincinnati Music Festival at Paul Brown Stadium.

00:12:22.400 But for most of the week, we've been hearing about boycotts and protests.

00:12:25.400 Supporters are encouraging travelers to boycott downtown restaurants and businesses on a weekend that usually brings in millions for the city.

00:12:34.300 We understand the community and we're very sensitive to how the community feels.

00:12:38.520 So we're working with the city of Cincinnati.

00:12:42.400 But we haven't heard anything that's disruptive, but we're just here to have a good time.

00:12:47.080 Supporters say they will be on Fountain Square tomorrow.

00:12:50.400 It's a happy weekend because anytime you get together, it becomes happy.

00:12:55.400 Supporters are encouraging travelers to patronize black owned businesses.

00:13:02.820 Now, at the city of Cincinnati website, there is a directory of those businesses.

00:13:07.080 We also have a link for you at local12.com. 0.97

00:13:10.900 Now, you just cannot spend the better part of a decade telling black people in Cincinnati at a music festival that they need to boycott white people and that white people are the source of their problems.

00:13:19.000 And then act shocked when a mob brutally beats and nearly murders several white people in the street at that very same music festival. 0.97

00:13:25.580 Instead, you are complicit in those beatings.

00:13:29.840 Every single one of these politicians and news outlets are complicit.

00:13:34.360 Actually, to be more precise, this has been going on for a lot longer than the past decade.

00:13:37.660 Here's a report from Cincinnati.com describing a major controversy at this Cincinnati music festival back in 2018, as well as the history of the festival.

00:13:45.700 Quote, when a downtown bar announced on Facebook it would close Friday and Saturday for renovations, the post was flooded with accusations of racism because the closure coincided with the Cincinnati music festival.

00:13:56.200 Many said the renovation plans were a lie, an excuse not to serve the mainly black clientele drawn to the city for the festival.

00:14:03.820 At the very least, the situation at Knock Back Nats is a reminder of the racism that has surrounded the festival for decades.

00:14:10.000 In 1981, a sales manager at the Weston Hotel distributed an internal memo to hotel executives saying that employees can expect loud guests, drug dealing and poor tipping during the 20th annual Cool Jazz Festival.

00:14:21.080 In 2000, protesters picketed eight downtown restaurants that closed for the weekend in late July during two high-profile events that draw tens of thousands of African-Americans to Cincinnati, including the Coors Light Jazz Festival, close quote.

00:14:34.440 So, in other words, going back to the 1980s, local businesses have tried to defend themselves against the obnoxious criminal behavior of the attendees at this festival.

00:14:42.080 And also, going back to the 1980s, there has been this racial, this has been a heavily racialized event stoking anti-white resentment, which is a, which that's the detail that I think a lot of people don't realize.

00:14:56.400 You hear, oh, this happened at a music festival, it's random.

00:14:59.240 This is not random.

00:15:00.300 This is, this is, it's been building up to this for years and years and years.

00:15:04.220 Now, when you think about these businesses, hopefully you're catching the irony here. 0.90

00:15:09.740 According to these activists, white-owned businesses at the Cincinnati Music Festival should be boycotted because white people are bad or whatever.

00:15:16.860 But if white-owned businesses don't open during the Cincinnati Music Festival so that they can then be boycotted, they're racist. 0.97

00:15:25.140 So, put another way, how dare you white racists shut down your businesses? 0.88

00:15:28.860 We want you to keep your business open so that we can proceed to not patronize them. 0.96

00:15:34.220 That's known as a catch-22 in the business. 0.99

00:15:36.380 Basically, white people are awful and racist no matter what they do. 0.99

00:15:39.080 And these activists, as always, are not held to any standard of decency or logic. 0.99

00:15:43.900 In fact, during these festivals, as you heard, the hotels in Cincinnati aren't even allowed to warn their staff of what's coming.

00:15:50.620 And as recently as 2018, when a bar decided to tear up the floor and repair their kitchen during the music festival, they were smeared as bigots.

00:15:56.480 Even though the renovations at this bar called Knock Back Nats were clearly ongoing, the mobs still claim that the renovations were only scheduled during the festival so that the owners could avoid serving the crowd.

00:16:07.820 A crowd that, again, doesn't want to go there anyway because they're supposed to be boycotting white businesses and only patronizing black businesses. 0.80

00:16:14.380 But here's the thing. Even if it's true that this business shut down and used the renovation as a pretext and really they just didn't want to be open during this event, it's a completely reasonable decision.

00:16:25.620 It has nothing to do with bigotry.

00:16:27.540 It's rational for a business to decide that a particular festival causes so many problems so consistently that it's not worth the potential profit.

00:16:35.740 And apparently this has been the norm for many years in Cincinnati. It was evidently the norm this year as well.

00:16:39.840 Mike Cernovich reported that, quote, Jazz Festival weekend in Cincinnati, a local tells me, is so disgusting with low tips and fights that bars didn't open during Jazz Fest.

00:16:48.380 City officials threatened to pull the liquor licenses of these bars on racism grounds.

00:16:54.900 Now, think about how insane this is. It takes a lot of downside before a business will turn down a large number of customers.

00:17:01.860 Businesses generally want to make money. They don't care who they're making it from. They don't care the color of your skin.

00:17:06.680 The only time they would turn that down is if the downsides are extraordinary.

00:17:12.580 But apparently those downsides are indeed extraordinary at the Cincinnati Music Festival.

00:17:16.740 And they're extraordinary in no small part because the festival has been used as a mechanism for open racial hatred for years.

00:17:24.280 But instead of considering their own role in forcing these businesses to shut down, Cincinnati's leaders have chosen to terrorize white people even further.

00:17:31.540 In fact, Cincinnati's leaders aren't simply terrorizing random white people going for a walk downtown.

00:17:36.540 They're also systematically discriminating against white men in the police force, which might explain why the department is so incompetent that it can't stop a violent mob in the middle of the city from beating random white people with impunity.

00:17:48.200 This is from local Cincinnati station WCPO from just a couple of months ago, quote,

00:17:54.200 Four Cincinnati police officers are suing the city of Cincinnati and the police chief of the Cincinnati Police Department, claiming they were discriminated against for being white males.

00:18:01.880 The federal lawsuit was filed Monday and claims the four officers were denied opportunities for preferred assignments and weren't promoted because of their race and gender.

00:18:09.360 The lawsuit claims that police chief, Teresa, whatever her last name is, gave preferred assignments more often to officers who are minorities or women.

00:18:18.040 It also lists nine examples of women or minorities who were lower on the promotions list, but were promoted over the officers who filed the lawsuit.

00:18:25.960 So according to the complaint of the police department's minority lieutenants, 79 percent received preferred assignments.

00:18:31.480 Of the female lieutenants, 89 percent were given preferred assignments. 0.60

00:18:35.820 And yet of the white male lieutenants, only 44 percent.

00:18:39.360 We're given preferred assignments.

00:18:41.400 Additionally, back in 2021, a separate lawsuit was filed alleging the department discriminated against white males.

00:18:47.180 The city ultimately settled with the lieutenant who filed that suit for seventy five thousand dollars.

00:18:51.720 So you have an anti white police department that's clearly discriminating against white males. 0.98

00:18:57.040 You have city officials and media outlets who have spent decades claiming that white people are so shameful and disgusting that you shouldn't even buy a hot dog from them. 0.99

00:19:04.420 And then after the predictable anti white violence takes place on camera. 0.99

00:19:08.780 This is how the police chief responded.

00:19:11.820 All nine one one.

00:19:16.400 Another point I want to make about this.

00:19:18.880 You have heard me for over a year now talk about holding our juveniles in this city accountable for their behavior.

00:19:26.220 And trying to hold their parents accountable for knowing how their kids are behaving.

00:19:33.540 What should we expect from our youth if this is the kind of adult behavior that is setting an example for them?

00:19:42.040 That is unacceptable by the adults in our community.

00:19:48.240 Well, she's right about one thing. 0.98

00:19:49.760 The black attackers in that mob at Cincinnati Music Festival certainly took their cue for malicious and profoundly evil people in positions of authority. 0.99

00:19:56.180 People who went out of their way to ensure that white people would be violently brutalized for the crime of being outside. 0.94

00:20:01.060 But those malicious actors are not on YouTube or Fox News.

00:20:04.140 They're running the city of Cincinnati and they've been running it for some time.

00:20:07.240 And now, as of Saturday, the inevitable result of their anti white race hatred, the result they badly wanted for a long time, has finally been captured on video. 0.99

00:20:16.120 They're too cowardly to admit it. 0.96

00:20:18.800 But they've simply left too much evidence, evidence for too long about their intentions. 0.73

00:20:24.920 Now, if there's a reason why the DOJ hasn't already moved into Cincinnati to shut down the government and prosecute these people, I haven't heard it.

00:20:33.100 If Barack Obama can force dozens of police departments to confess to invented acts of systemic racism and surrender their budget to the permanent oversight of the federal government, then the Trump administration can and should do the same thing to Cincinnati, which has clearly been engaging in a pattern of actual systemic anti white discrimination and resentment for generations.

00:20:53.580 Real human rights violations are happening.

00:20:59.340 White people, like every other race, are entitled to civil liberties.

00:21:03.800 But until the leaders of the government of Cincinnati are hauled to federal prison, we can assume that civil liberties will remain suspended in the city.

00:21:13.260 Prepare your travel plans accordingly.

00:21:16.480 Avoid Cincinnati and every other city like it.

00:21:18.660 And no, keeping away from these hell holes does not mean that you're a bigot.

00:21:23.580 It means you've listened to what the government and the activists have been saying for many, many years.

00:21:30.020 And you've finally gotten the message loud and clear.

00:21:34.660 Now let's get to our five headlines.

00:21:41.800 You know, I was shocked to learn that the liver is actually the second largest organ in the body, handles over 500 different functions.

00:21:49.060 Yeah, we barely think about it.

00:21:49.980 Here's the thing, though.

00:21:50.720 Over 30% of Americans have a sluggish liver, and most of us don't even know until it's too late.

00:21:55.180 That's why I'm excited to tell you about Dose for Your Liver.

00:21:57.900 This is not just another supplement.

00:21:59.500 It's a science-backed formula that was specifically created to cleanse your liver of unwanted elements while supporting digestion and keeping your body's natural filter running smoothly.

00:22:07.860 What really impressed me were the clinical trials in a double-blind, placebo-controlled study.

00:22:13.140 Dose for your liver actually lowered liver enzyme levels by 50% in over 86% of participants.

00:22:19.260 And get this, one shot is equivalent to 17 shots of turmeric juice.

00:22:23.180 When you stick with dose over time, you can experience some incredible benefits.

00:22:26.180 It's more energy, better digestion, reduced bloating, healthier liver enzyme function, less brain fog, even better sleep.

00:22:33.440 Plus, it's gluten-free, dairy-free, sugar-free, and as you know, most important to me of all is that it is vegan.

00:22:55.400 I want to go back to a headline from Monday night in the wake of the shooting in New York City.

00:23:01.200 Here's the headline from the New York Post.

00:23:02.940 NYC mayoral frontrunner Zoran Mamdani addresses Midtown mass shooting from Uganda compound.

00:23:11.300 The article says, Democratic nominee for mayor Zoran Mamdani addressed the mass shooting at a Park Avenue office building while at his family's private compound in Uganda, where he's celebrating his wedding.

00:23:21.980 Mamdani wrote, I'm heartbroken to learn of the horrific shooting in Midtown, and I'm holding the victims, their families, and NYPD officers in critical condition in my thoughts.

00:23:29.840 Um, so the focus of the article is on the shooting, which makes sense, but I want to know more also about this Ugandan compound.

00:23:39.060 After all, this guy is very likely to be the next mayor of our largest and most important city.

00:23:44.620 What's he doing in a Ugandan compound?

00:23:48.220 I mean, that's a little disconcerting, isn't it?

00:23:50.380 The amount of time that I want any American elected official to spend in a Ugandan compound is zero minutes of their entire lives. 1.00

00:23:59.820 That's, that's the amount of time I'd like to see you spend in a Ugandan compound. 0.99

00:24:03.820 Uh, but, so let's find out more about this.

00:24:06.360 The Telegraph has some more on it.

00:24:07.820 Zoran Mamdani, the Democratic socialist, reportedly held a lavish wedding celebration at a private compound in Uganda.

00:24:13.440 The New York mayoral hopeful is said to have hosted a party last weekend at his parents' property in the billionaire neighborhood of Buziga Hill, outside of the capital city of Kampala.

00:24:23.060 Mr. Ramdani told social media followers he and his wife were heading to his home country to celebrate their recent nuptials with his family.

00:24:29.520 His parents' home, set on two acres of land, was guarded by masked security guards with phone jamming signals set up to ensure complete privacy at the event.

00:24:40.320 So this is really perfect in so many ways.

00:24:43.460 Um, and let's count, let's count them, shall we?

00:24:47.240 Let's count the ways, all the things that makes this a perfect story.

00:24:52.200 We can begin with the fact that Mamdani is a socialist who preaches about wealth and equality.

00:24:57.680 Meanwhile, his family owns a compound in one of the richest areas of Uganda, surrounded by just dirt poverty.

00:25:06.380 He's parting it up in his private compound while the average Ugandan has an income of like 200 bucks a month.

00:25:12.520 And even that's overstating it because the average income is inflated by the kinds of people who live in Mamdani's neighborhood.

00:25:17.900 In reality, many Ugandans are living in, many of them are still living in mud huts with thatched roofs.

00:25:23.740 It's the kind of poverty that we just, we don't see in this country.

00:25:28.100 It doesn't exist in this country.

00:25:30.020 Um, it, it's, uh, but it exists in, in Uganda.

00:25:35.160 And you often hear leftists in this country claim that, you know, you hear them say there's no such thing as a, as an honest millionaire or an honest billionaire.

00:25:43.420 It, it, there's no honest way.

00:25:48.000 So if someone's rich and they say, Hey, I, I earned my, I earned this honestly, I earned an honest living.

00:25:53.200 What they'll say is, well, that's not possible.

00:25:54.900 That's a contradiction in terms.

00:25:57.620 Because if you're rich, it means that you exploited other people.

00:26:00.040 That's the only way that you could become rich.

00:26:02.760 And, uh, and that's what they claim.

00:26:05.480 It's, it's nonsense.

00:26:06.580 Of course, in this country, that claim is nonsense.

00:26:09.780 In our advanced first world country, it is quite possible for an honest person to become quite rich without ever exploiting anyone or harming anyone in any way.

00:26:20.280 Now, there are plenty of, plenty of people who are rich and have harmed people.

00:26:24.400 There are people who aren't rich and have harmed people.

00:26:25.820 But it's, it is perfectly possible, um, to become very rich, very successful without ever exploiting anyone, without ever hurting anybody.

00:26:36.520 Um, and that's the case in this country now, but going back to the irony is that in a third world country, there's actually some truth to that claim.

00:26:48.560 Third world countries like Uganda are systemically corrupt. 0.98

00:26:52.900 That's, that's part of the reason why they are third world countries. 0.99

00:26:57.560 And if you're a rich person, then in a third world country, the chances are maybe not absolute, but they're very high that you are corrupt, that you're a crook.

00:27:09.440 I mean, the most corrupt, crooked people you'll find on the planet are the richest people in third world countries. 1.00

00:27:18.080 Um, income inequality, so-called in third world countries.

00:27:22.900 Is much more stark.

00:27:26.540 Because you have most people in the country, or a lot of people in a third world country who are, who are still living as though it's the year 600.

00:27:34.860 And then you have an extremely small portion of people who are living in luxury.

00:27:40.640 There's an imbalance there that is much more drastic than what you find in this country.

00:27:47.000 And yet again, the leftists, people like Mamdani, they'll talk about income inequality.

00:27:54.580 They only ever apply that phrase, that idea to the United States and other white Western countries.

00:28:02.820 They'll never apply it to Uganda, even though it, it, it is much more relevant there.

00:28:09.900 Now in this country, yeah, you have income inequality, uh, that will always exist.

00:28:13.680 It should exist because people do different things.

00:28:15.840 They have different levels of success.

00:28:17.360 Incomes will be different.

00:28:18.960 That's just always going to be the case.

00:28:20.100 But in this country, you know, you might have one family earning 150 grand a year, and then you could have another family who's living in another town, not too far away, who's earning $3 million a year, let's say.

00:28:32.300 And in that case, the latter has, uh, has an income many times greater than the former, but the former, and they might have their own, I'm sure they do have their own financial hardships, but they're not living in a one room hut made out of cow dung, which they share with nine kids and three cows.

00:28:52.060 The former still lives very comfortably and even luxuriously compared to most of the people in Uganda.

00:29:00.020 Um, whereas again, in Uganda, you'll have people like Mamdani's family who are living in modern society, living in, in luxury, and they're just surrounded by unbelievable poverty.

00:29:18.360 Um, and, uh, and very often doing nothing at all to alleviate that.

00:29:26.180 Because that, that, that falls to us, right?

00:29:28.040 That also falls to us who's supposed to help the poor people in Uganda, not the rich people in Uganda.

00:29:33.340 No, it's supposed to be us somehow.

00:29:34.700 It's supposed to be you.

00:29:35.780 That's your responsibility.

00:29:38.580 So all that to say, all the hand-wringing that you hear from people like Mamdani about wealth disparities applies much more to rich people in the country that he's from and that he still has allegiance to, um, than it does to this.

00:29:50.740 And it gets better because like any other rich person in a third world country, he has private armed security surrounding his compound.

00:29:57.300 And so the, the, uh, the irony there, the, the hypocrisy there is very obvious.

00:30:02.380 This is somebody who wants to defund the police.

00:30:03.920 He wants to abolish the second amendment.

00:30:05.680 Anyway, yeah, when it comes to protecting his family's estate in Uganda, he makes use of guns and men who are paid to carry them.

00:30:13.440 Um, so the, the ironies and hypocrisies are, are boundless with this story.

00:30:20.180 And yet all of that is almost beside the point, almost because the most salient thing about Mamdani's wealthy Ugandan compound is not that it's wealthy or that it's a compound, but that it is Ugandan.

00:30:32.980 And I'm of the opinion that nobody with a Ugandan compound should hold elected office at any level in the United States. 1.00

00:30:42.760 Um, if you have a private compound in any foreign country, I don't think you should hold elected, elected office in the United States.

00:30:51.060 That's, that's, that's, and I think that that is a, um, that's a, just a very rational, common sense idea.

00:31:01.640 If you actually value this country, um, if your attachment to a foreign country is so deep that your family has a compound there that you'd like to spend time in and celebrate your wedding there, then that should exclude you from holding public office in our country.

00:31:19.080 You can hold public office in Uganda, go ahead, the place you still call home, but in this country, and I think, I think this is how most Americans feel and increasingly are not shy about saying it and not ashamed to say it and we shouldn't be that we care about our own country.

00:31:40.200 And if you want to represent us or lead us at any level, then you need to make it very clear that you prioritize this country above all others, that your loyalty is to this country and none other.

00:31:54.860 Okay. Well, um, you know, we, so we need to have actual Americans in elected office. That's the first thing, but that alone won't solve all of our problems because even if you have actual Americans in elected office, uh, I mean, there, there are plenty of actual Americans who are still in elected office and are also terrible.

00:32:18.480 Uh, you're still stuck with people like Jasmine Crockett, for example. And there's a whole profile on Jasmine Crockett in the Atlantic, uh, a profile, which has been a source of some controversy, at least on Jasmine Crockett's team, because she volunteered to be a part of this profile, but then to try to, as we'll see, she tried to withdraw her consent because she didn't like how it was turning out.

00:32:41.280 And how it was turning out is that the profile was, was actually trying to discover what kind of person this is, which is the whole point of a profile.

00:32:53.040 Now I didn't read the whole thing myself. There's only so much mental abuse I can take, but here's a summary from the daily mail of this, um, profile in the Atlantic.

00:33:00.480 Democratic representative Jasmine Crockett's obsession with controlling her image, monster ego, and shabby treatment of staff has been exposed by a new profile. 0.94

00:33:08.100 The hard-left Texas Congresswoman, 44, has been scolding colleagues over scheduling and food, was seen scolding colleagues over scheduling and food by the Atlantic journalist Elaine Godfrey, who profiled her for the prestigious magazine. 0.84

00:33:20.300 Godfrey also remarked on Crockett's obsession with her own image and cuttingly revealed that the lawmaker's phone lock screen is a picture of Crockett herself.

00:33:29.080 The journalist was granted access to Crockett for her profile, only to have it unceremoniously revoked after she contacted other lawmakers to ask their thoughts on the rising star Democrat.

00:33:38.960 Those secondary interviews are a standard procedure for such profiles, but Crockett was outraged.

00:33:44.180 And then it goes on.

00:33:45.920 Um, the, uh, before losing access, the Atlantic writers, Atlantic's writer also got to see Crockett interacting with her staff in what she described as a brusque manner. 0.98

00:33:56.840 Crockett reportedly called an aide to scold him for an unclear note on her schedule and told another assistant a bag of food they had bought her looked like crap.

00:34:04.380 Uh, Godfrey is also, also revealed Crockett is highly conscious of her self-presentation. 0.62

00:34:09.940 During many of our conversations, Crockett wore acrylic nails painted with the word resist and a set of heavy lashes over her brown eyes.

00:34:17.520 The lock screen on her phone is a headshot of herself.

00:34:20.860 Throughout the Atlantic's peace, Crockett lamented that her Democrat colleagues shut her out of the top position on the House Oversight Committee, even though she has the most social media followers.

00:34:30.260 She said, quote, it's like there's one clear person in the race that has the largest social media following.

00:34:38.400 Um, so that's just a little bit of the, of the profile. 0.97

00:34:41.040 Now, and I have to tell you, we joke about Jasmine Crockett a lot because she's a clown. 1.00

00:34:48.540 She's an unserious person. 1.00

00:34:49.700 She's a, she's a joke of a human being. 1.00

00:34:52.600 Uh, she's unintentionally hilarious, a comedic figure in many ways. 0.95

00:34:57.880 Again, unintentionally, she's about as smart as a potato. 0.93

00:35:02.220 She might as well be a potato. 1.00

00:35:03.560 I mean, the voters in the 30th congressional district in Texas may as well have voted for an actual potato.

00:35:10.340 So there's a lot to laugh about, but I also find her to be a tragic, like depressing figure.

00:35:14.980 And it's, it's kind of the weirdest sensation because when I read about her, I see a clip of her.

00:35:20.160 I find her very funny, but I'm also filled with, at the same time with this deep despair. 0.64

00:35:27.140 So, uh, it's strange in that way, because while being a clown, the fact is that this person was elected, a majority of voters in, I think that's Dallas, the 30th congressional district in Texas, a majority of voters in a major American city saw this obnoxious potato and said, yeah, I think that's it. 0.96

00:35:47.420 I think, I think she's the, she's the obnoxious, loud, half sentient potato with fake eyelashes. 1.00

00:35:52.720 Let's, let's vote for her. 1.00

00:35:55.020 Let's make her. 1.00

00:35:55.860 Yeah.

00:35:57.140 A majority of voters made that decision and they'll probably do it again.

00:36:02.440 They'll probably promote her actually, because she's likely going to run for Senate right now. 1.00

00:36:07.780 She has a comfortable lead in the polls.

00:36:10.000 She's sitting at 35%. 0.86

00:36:11.200 The next closest has 20 is sitting at 20%.

00:36:14.200 And this is a woman who has never done anything for her constituents at all. 0.99

00:36:20.120 Not a single thing.

00:36:21.900 She's delivered nothing for them.

00:36:24.240 Not even tried.

00:36:25.220 Instead, she spent all of her time trying to generate viral clicks on, on social media for herself.

00:36:32.440 That's the only thing she cares about, which is why, when she's trying to explain why she should be, you know, she should have this ranking position in a committee. 0.99

00:36:39.160 The only reason she can give, the only reason she can give is that I have the most social media followers.

00:36:46.720 And, um, because that's all she cares about is the viral attention. 0.99

00:36:50.280 And she gets that attention by carrying on like a, you know, a Spirit Airlines customer, just being loud and dumb and incredibly self-involved. 0.96

00:36:57.520 And voters have looked at that and said, oh yeah, yeah, I need more of that. 0.98

00:37:02.740 Give me some more of that.

00:37:05.020 Yes, please make the U.S. Senate resemble a Spirit Airlines flight even more.

00:37:11.260 That's what voters in her state, Democrats, uh, anyway, um, in her district are saying.

00:37:15.560 Um, so we have problems in this country that, that just cannot be fixed by voting.

00:37:21.420 Um, they would be fixed by disenfranchising millions of people.

00:37:26.320 There are millions of people who are not suited, not fit to have any say whatsoever in how this country is run or who runs it.

00:37:33.240 Um, which is why, you know, I've been talking about this for years.

00:37:38.420 It's one of the third rails.

00:37:41.920 And I can see why, I can see why, especially politicians aren't going to go out and come out against the right, the right to vote.

00:37:48.820 Uh, because it's, we consider it a sacrosanct thing.

00:37:51.320 And I think it is sacrosanct.

00:37:53.520 Which is all the more reason why we should not grant that right to everybody.

00:37:58.780 There are lots of people who are just not suited for it, not fit for it.

00:38:03.240 Um, nearly every problem in this country, if we drastically raise the bar for who is allowed to vote, I'm not saying exclude people arbitrarily or anything like that.

00:38:17.620 Uh, you just raise the bar, raise the bar for who is allowed to vote.

00:38:21.880 If you're an American citizen, you, you can potentially vote.

00:38:26.100 That's the first thing.

00:38:27.240 And that already is a higher bar than we currently have.

00:38:29.560 So that's number one.

00:38:32.100 That'd be American citizen.

00:38:34.080 And any, any American citizen can potentially vote.

00:38:37.200 But then we have this bar here and you gotta be able to clear that bar. 0.94

00:38:40.720 And I've talked many times about what that bar would be.

00:38:42.660 Just like demonstrating a basic understanding of how our system works.

00:38:47.320 Uh, you know, demonstrating that you have some basic knowledge of, of current events and the, the, the, the issues that, um, you're voting on.

00:38:57.160 Uh, uh, demonstrating that you have skin in the game, that you're a functioning adult contributing member of society, you know, things like this.

00:39:06.120 And if we did that, nearly every problem in this country could be fixed in like a week.

00:39:11.720 Uh, really, if we did that, but we're not going to, that's not going to happen.

00:39:17.560 And so what then, um, well, it means that we have problems that voting won't fix.

00:39:21.620 Problems that allow people like this to get elected.

00:39:24.200 And, um, and, you know, of all the embarrassing revelations about Jasmine Crockett in this profile, none of them are actually revelatory.

00:39:33.880 They're not surprising.

00:39:34.540 But the one that's most profound is the fact that her phone lock screen is a headshot of herself.

00:39:41.020 I mean, it may seem like a small thing, but there are small things in life.

00:39:46.280 There are small things you can do.

00:39:47.900 There are small things that you might notice about someone that tell you everything you need to know.

00:39:52.960 You can say, don't judge a book by its cover.

00:39:54.780 Actually you can.

00:39:55.660 And, uh, depending on what you see on the cover.

00:39:59.720 And if the cover of their phone is a picture of themselves, that everything you could ever need to know about them.

00:40:04.700 You don't need to talk to them.

00:40:05.600 You don't need to get to know them.

00:40:06.880 Everything you need to know is contained in that one simple fact.

00:40:13.380 That this woman went into her phone, scrolled through the presumably hundreds of photos of herself and selected one of those to be her phone lock screen.

00:40:21.660 Not a photo of a loved one, a friend, um, not a photo of a, of a beautiful sunrise or a panoramic view from a recent vacation.

00:40:30.300 Not even a photo of a dog or a cat.

00:40:33.480 That would be preferable to what she chose, which is a photo of herself.

00:40:37.540 So, it's cartoonish.

00:40:40.060 I mean, this woman is like a cartoon. 1.00

00:40:41.680 Um, I swear she wasn't born.

00:40:43.440 She was animated.

00:40:44.940 This is literally the kind of thing that a comically vain character in a cartoon would do.

00:40:49.920 But this is her real life.

00:40:51.920 And people vote for that.

00:40:55.380 Because let's face it. 1.00

00:40:56.280 You have a lot of people in this country who are just very stupid. 1.00

00:40:59.860 I mean, if you cast the ballot for Jasmine Crockett, I'm not even sure that stupid covers it. 1.00

00:41:06.620 Are you even conscious? 1.00

00:41:08.600 Are you self-aware?

00:41:09.660 Are you fully sentient?

00:41:13.200 I don't even, I don't say that as a joke.

00:41:14.720 I've actually started wondering about this.

00:41:16.460 I kind of think about this a lot.

00:41:17.880 I saw someone, I saw someone making this point recently in response to a clip from that show.

00:41:23.420 What's that show called?

00:41:24.100 Financial Audit on YouTube.

00:41:25.600 And I've never watched a full episode of it, but I see these clips that pop up.

00:41:29.760 And I'll admit that the clips are kind of fascinating.

00:41:33.400 Because the guy, the host, I think his name's Caleb.

00:41:36.960 Who gives financial advice to these people who come to him.

00:41:40.680 And these are people who are just totally dysfunctional.

00:41:44.380 So the show seems to be kind of a cross between Jerry Springer and Dave Ramsey.

00:41:50.260 It's a brilliant concept.

00:41:52.020 And it's a great way to generate content.

00:41:53.820 I mean, it's a, it's a content generating machine.

00:41:57.760 So you see these clips and, and, you know, you got someone who they earn $70,000 a year or whatever.

00:42:03.040 They've racked up 50 grand in debt somehow.

00:42:05.360 And still like they're spending half their paycheck on Libubu dolls and vacations.

00:42:12.320 I saw one the other day, some, a woman's in a tight financial spot. 0.98

00:42:16.420 She's got debt, uh, bills.

00:42:18.680 She gets a $10,000 tax refund, goes and spends every dime of it. 0.97

00:42:23.820 On a vacation.

00:42:25.140 Saves none of it.

00:42:26.280 Puts none of it to her debt.

00:42:27.380 Puts none of it to her bills.

00:42:28.460 Every single last dime she spends immediately.

00:42:33.040 And then she comes to this financial expert and says, I don't know, what's going on here?

00:42:37.160 How do I solve this?

00:42:38.360 And, um, and you see in these clips that Caleb's tries to talk to them and reason with them, but there's just nothing there.

00:42:47.260 It's like, there's, there's not, it's, there are these drones, these totally vapid, empty people who, you know, you're talking to them and you're saying, well, don't, why did, why did you spend half your paycheck on a Libubu doll? 0.98

00:43:01.800 Well, don't do that, but you got a $10,000 refund.

00:43:05.780 You got debt.

00:43:06.740 Don't spend it all right away.

00:43:08.660 You can't, if you want to get out of your debt, you can't do that.

00:43:11.280 And he's trying to explain to these people and, and increasingly kind of losing his mind while they're sitting there, like blank expression, like, huh?

00:43:19.640 Why not?

00:43:22.840 So, um, anyway, these are also the Jasmine Crockett voters, right?

00:43:27.660 There's like these kinds of people and not just, I'm using Jasmine Crockett as an example.

00:43:31.000 There's a lot of politicians just like her. 1.00

00:43:33.640 And it's because of people like this, that those kinds of people end up in positions of power.

00:43:37.440 Um, and, uh, I don't know.

00:43:43.280 I think, I think the problem is worse now than it's ever been this problem of people being, you know, empty, vapid, nothing going on, like barely even aware of who they are or where they are.

00:43:55.260 And I think it's, I think it's been, it's worse than it's ever been because you have the education system, which is a total failure.

00:43:59.880 You have the media, Hollywood, the internet, et cetera, and so on that have worked for generations to lobotomize people and numb their minds.

00:44:06.580 And, uh, turn them into drones, the pharmaceutical company, all this kind of stuff, pharmaceutical industry, the drug people are taking all of it, turning their minds into mush and turning them into drones, into vassals, uh, who are barely, I think are like barely even conscious.

00:44:24.860 Um, so it, it's, it's a problem that's getting worse, but it's also always been, I mean, this dichotomy has always existed.

00:44:32.280 Our founders recognized that, which is why it was never intended for the right to vote.

00:44:37.940 So it'd be something that's granted to every single person, as long as they're a certain age where there's no other requirements.

00:44:44.580 That, that, that was never the idea.

00:44:50.500 Um, and when you do that, when you take someone, when you, you know, when you watch financial audit and you see the woman who spent thousands of dollars on loop, I don't even know what Lububu dolls are right away.

00:45:02.340 I just saw this in a clip.

00:45:03.180 Um, but you see the woman who's in desperate financial straits and spent all this money on Lububu dolls and you see that and you think, well, this person is allowed to vote.

00:45:16.100 She can vote.

00:45:17.160 Her vote counts the same as mine.

00:45:21.220 I'm sitting here legitimately wondering to what level is she even a conscious person and she can vote.

00:45:28.300 Well, when you reach a critical mass of people like that, who are allowed to vote, it just kills your country.

00:45:35.440 Your country's done.

00:45:37.000 No country can survive that.

00:45:38.460 No, you cannot survive having people like that who can decide the direction of the country.

00:45:46.840 So you raise the bar, um, make people demonstrate some amount of, of, of capability of, of aptitude before they're allowed to take part in these

00:45:57.900 kinds of decisions.

00:45:58.920 You either do that or, you know, your, your country dies.

00:46:03.140 I mean, that's really the two options.

00:46:05.820 So there's a cheerful thought for you.

00:46:07.900 What if you could delay your next two mortgage payments?

00:46:10.860 That's right.

00:46:11.280 Imagine putting those two payments in your pocket and, uh, finally enjoying just a little bit of breathing room.

00:46:15.640 It's possible when you call American financing today, if you're feeling stretched by everyday expenses, groceries, gas bills, all that piling up, well, you're not alone.

00:46:23.380 Most Americans are putting those expenses on credit cards and there doesn't seem to be a way out.

00:46:27.900 American financing can show you how to use your home's equity to pay off that debt.

00:46:32.380 You need to call American financing today before you get to a point where you can't make those payments.

00:49:03.620 Now, let's get to our Daily Cancellation.

00:49:11.260 For our Daily Cancellation, today we have a well-known fitness influencer

00:49:15.420 who goes by the name Joey Swole.

00:49:18.040 Now, you may know Mr. Swole as the guy who does all those TikTok videos

00:49:21.240 where he lectures people for being rude or inappropriate in the gym.

00:49:24.960 You've probably seen these videos pop up.

00:49:26.300 Here's one just for reference.

00:49:30.100 Please, please, please don't do this nonsense at the gym.

00:49:46.860 You're there to work out.

00:49:48.480 Not film TikTok dance videos.

00:49:51.300 And listen, I'm all for dancing between sets or on the treadmill.

00:49:56.000 Love to see people do it.

00:49:57.320 I do it myself.

00:49:58.860 But you don't do it standing directly next to somebody that's working out

00:50:02.680 just so you can distract them to get a reaction

00:50:05.240 so you can film it and post it on social media for likes and attention.

00:50:10.520 Now, he's right, of course.

00:50:11.740 You should not film dancing videos at the gym while people are trying to work out.

00:50:16.220 Do we need a Joey Swole video?

00:50:18.960 Do we need him to make a response to every single video

00:50:21.680 of someone being inappropriate at the gym

00:50:23.040 just so that he can tell us again for the 10 millionth time

00:50:25.460 that we should not be inappropriate at the gym?

00:50:27.420 No, we probably don't need that.

00:50:28.900 But it's harmless content for the most part.

00:50:30.860 And it's helped Joey Swole gain a very large following on social media.

00:50:34.380 Although large followings, as those of us with large followings

00:50:37.140 inevitably discover, are a double-edged sword.

00:50:40.600 And Joey learned that lesson this past week.

00:50:43.600 A few days ago, Joey posted a simple, seemingly innocuous tribute

00:50:46.820 to one of his personal heroes, Hulk Hogan.

00:50:49.060 After the wrestling icon died, Joey tweeted this.

00:50:52.960 R.I.P. to a legend and one of my inspirations to start working out.

00:50:57.240 So that's it.

00:50:58.820 That's all he said.

00:51:00.520 Lots of people were posting tributes to Hulk Hogan.

00:51:02.640 This was just one in a sea of them.

00:51:05.300 Nothing especially notable about it, you might think,

00:51:07.480 as a rational and normal person.

00:51:08.980 However, over on the left, where rational and normal people do not reside,

00:51:12.620 Joey Swole's brief, one-sentence Hulk Hogan eulogy

00:51:15.300 was an outrage.

00:51:17.200 They exploded in anger, attacking Joey, accusing him of racism.

00:51:21.540 They claimed that Hulk Hogan said and did racist stuff in the past,

00:51:24.520 which means that anyone who praises him or mourns his death is also racist.

00:51:29.160 Now, I'll admit, I don't even know what specifically Hulk Hogan supposedly did or said

00:51:33.140 that upset them so much.

00:51:34.540 I couldn't possibly care less.

00:51:35.980 I didn't even look it up because I don't care.

00:51:39.180 It doesn't matter.

00:51:40.600 All I know is that the people crying about it today

00:51:43.260 and claiming that you're a racist if you pay the man tribute after his death 1.00

00:51:46.380 are ridiculous clowns and should not be taken seriously. 1.00

00:51:49.640 All you can do with such people is ignore and disregard them 1.00

00:51:52.140 or mock and belittle them and then ignore them.

00:51:55.380 Unfortunately, after only a few hours of backlash,

00:51:57.700 Joey Swole decided that he had to explain himself.

00:52:02.600 And here was his first attempt.

00:52:04.720 Listen, I can post Hulk Hogan if I want to.

00:52:07.220 Just because somebody makes a mistake in their life

00:52:08.900 doesn't mean that they haven't done good things.

00:52:10.600 I don't know what he did and he said something 20 years ago and apologized for it.

00:52:15.020 If you're going to attack me, you better go after the colored athletes 1.00

00:52:17.600 and the people that are black and minority that went and posted him as well. 0.98

00:52:21.420 Okay, the man was nice to me.

00:52:22.840 He made a mistake.

00:52:24.060 I'm not God.

00:52:25.140 People make mistakes in life.

00:52:26.380 If you've got a problem with that, look at yourself.

00:52:27.840 There's not one single person in here that hasn't made a mistake in their life.

00:52:31.920 Well, speaking of making mistakes,

00:52:33.800 Joey made a big one by posting that.

00:52:36.800 He's trying to explain himself.

00:52:38.480 He's trying to justify himself.

00:52:40.220 He's trying to reason with the outraged mob.

00:52:42.320 But the outraged mob, because it is a mob, cannot be reasoned with.

00:52:46.860 Your explanations will always fall on deaf ears.

00:52:50.400 They did in this case.

00:52:52.280 Joey's attempt to defend his post only inflamed the mob even more.

00:52:55.960 They continued to screech and cry and scold him for another 24 hours or so.

00:52:59.600 And that was apparently all that poor Joey could take.

00:53:01.760 He waved the white flag, crawled into a field position, and posted this.

00:53:05.760 Prepare yourself for the overwhelming cringe here.

00:53:10.880 Watch.

00:53:11.900 I owe my followers, my community, and all of social media an apology.

00:53:17.040 A few days ago, I reposted an old video of me in the gym wearing a Hulk Hogan Halloween costume on the day that he passed.

00:53:24.980 Last night in my live stream, a lot of people expressed how upset and frustrated they were with me that I had posted that.

00:53:32.320 Instead of listening and understanding like I should have, I became defensive and said that I was posting to celebrate the wrestling icon.

00:53:41.040 The person that so many of us looked up to as kids that we grew up with that made us tear our shirts and take our vitamins and say our prayers.

00:53:47.980 I didn't know to the extent of all the horrible things that he had done.

00:53:52.940 Since last night, I have done a lot of research, talked to a few people, and learned all of the horrible, horrible things that that man has done.

00:54:00.960 Which is way more than just making a mistake and being human.

00:54:05.120 So, because of that, I have taken the videos down and I apologize to anybody that I offended.

00:54:11.460 I am sorry.

00:54:12.200 Also, during last night's live stream, I used the word colored instead of saying person of color, which is a very outdated, very offensive term.

00:54:22.120 A few moments later, somebody educated me and told me that it wasn't okay to use that.

00:54:26.400 Which I immediately apologized to everyone and said, I would never do that again.

00:54:31.440 So, once again, to anybody that I offended, I am sorry.

00:54:34.860 You know, my whole page, my whole brand is based on holding people accountable and doing better.

00:54:41.900 I would be a hypocrite if I didn't hold myself to the same standards.

00:54:46.160 I am human. 0.52

00:54:47.420 I am still growing.

00:54:48.680 I am still learning.

00:54:49.660 And I promise all of you, I will do better.

00:54:52.620 That was tough to sit through.

00:54:54.980 It's never easy to watch a man castrate himself in public.

00:54:58.640 And that is what Joey Swole just did.

00:55:01.000 Keep in mind that Hulk Hogan was Joey's childhood hero.

00:55:04.860 He was also the man, someone that Joey apparently knew personally, or met at least, and who he said in the previous video, treated him kindly. 0.90

00:55:12.160 And yet, to appease a mob of degenerate leftist scumbags, Joey just threw his idol under the bus, condemned him for all the, quote, horrible, horrible things that man has done, and apologized to all the people smearing both him and his hero as racists. 0.98

00:55:27.440 I mean, it's one of the most pathetic displays you will ever see. 0.99

00:55:30.480 It also accomplished nothing, except to make everything worse. 0.97

00:55:36.760 The outraged leftists responded to Joey's apology by saying that it wasn't genuine, it wasn't good enough, it doesn't change the fact that he already revealed himself to be a racist.

00:55:44.680 None of them accepted the apology or invited him back into their fault.

00:55:48.720 And that's the way these things always go, of course.

00:55:50.460 Which anyone who's been alive and semi-sentient since 2020 should already know.

00:55:56.640 Joey Swole has certainly been alive for the past five years, so, I don't know, he's another one whose sentience may be up for debate.

00:56:02.800 I just don't know how.

00:56:03.960 I hate to do the, in the year, in the current year, how could you do this?

00:56:07.120 But seriously, in the year 2025, how could you not know how this works by now?

00:56:12.680 Now, shortly after that apology, seeing how poorly it was received, Joey came out with his third response.

00:56:20.160 He tried explaining himself.

00:56:21.480 When that didn't work, he tried groveling and apologizing.

00:56:23.480 When that didn't work, he gave up completely.

00:56:25.200 Here's what he wrote, quote,

00:56:26.120 So, this is the final stage of a self-destructive meltdown.

00:56:48.920 Begging for pity, quoting Batman, and then quitting social media, right?

00:56:53.480 It's a habit.

00:56:54.740 A story as old as time.

00:56:56.720 And a terrible way to go out.

00:56:58.580 Not that Joey's actually going anywhere.

00:56:59.920 He'll probably be back tomorrow, I'm sure. 0.98

00:57:01.660 Even so, this was a deeply pathetic performance. 0.92

00:57:04.800 It brings me no joy to say any of this, by the way. 0.92

00:57:06.980 I think Joey seems like a nice guy.

00:57:09.880 I'm sure he is, but, I mean, you got, as men, we got to call this stuff out.

00:57:15.460 And apologizing like that to the mob is inexcusable.

00:57:19.360 And when you put yourself in the public eye, and you're profiting immensely from it,

00:57:24.320 and enjoying the riches that come with it, when you do that, you have a responsibility as a man

00:57:31.360 to respond with strength and moral courage in these moments.

00:57:37.340 And if you don't respond that way, you deserve to get called out.

00:57:41.060 Especially a guy who, his whole shtick is to call other people out.

00:57:44.400 Many of whom deserve to get called out.

00:57:47.060 He's posted hundreds of videos calling out random people.

00:57:49.760 Um, well, now it's his turn.

00:57:55.220 Now, if, rather than listening to whichever crisis PR scam artist told him to issue that apology statement,

00:58:01.140 Joey had instead solicited advice from someone who actually has experience successfully dealing with left-wing cancel mobs,

00:58:06.920 someone like, for instance, me, I could have spared him all this heartache.

00:58:12.100 I would have told him that 98.5% of the time, when people are mad at you on the internet,

00:58:16.120 the best way to deal with it is to not deal with it, ignore it, say nothing, pretend it's not happening.

00:58:22.000 Don't look at your mentions, don't search your name, don't read your DMs.

00:58:25.340 Just keep on posting like nothing is wrong.

00:58:27.160 Post through it, as the wise sages of old have always said.

00:58:30.640 In 98.5% of cases, the outrage will subside on its own in 24 to 48 hours.

00:58:36.720 I mean, think of it like a mild rash.

00:58:38.640 A case of a contact dermatitis.

00:58:41.080 It's a minor nuisance.

00:58:42.740 It's not serious.

00:58:43.580 It will go away in a day or two.

00:58:45.640 A week from now, it will be ancient history.

00:58:47.820 A month from now, the outrage will be so far in the past that any record of it will be lost in the sands of time,

00:58:54.820 recorded only by hieroglyphics on the wall of a pyramid.

00:58:58.500 That's what happens if you ignore it most of the time.

00:59:02.180 Now, in very rare cases, the outrage may last for longer.

00:59:06.460 It takes on a mind of its own.

00:59:07.820 It snowballs.

00:59:09.280 Three days later, people are still talking about it.

00:59:11.040 A day after that, they're somehow even angrier than they were when it all started.

00:59:14.960 This is rare.

00:59:16.200 Okay.

00:59:17.700 As someone who's, I'm kind of, at this point, I'm a sort of a connoisseur of mob outrage.

00:59:23.420 Having experienced all of its various varieties and flavors, I can tell you that this kind, where like four days later, it's even worse.

00:59:31.940 This happens to me maybe like once or twice a year.

00:59:35.060 Probably even just once.

00:59:36.720 It's a rare occurrence.

00:59:38.680 And the truth is that even in those cases, you can still ignore it.

00:59:43.400 You come back four days later, you're like, oh, wow, they're still going on about this?

00:59:47.280 What you could do is just say, okay, and leave for a week.

00:59:50.380 Don't announce it.

00:59:51.160 Don't announce it in a self-pitying way.

00:59:53.440 I'm leaving.

00:59:54.220 I'm done with social.

00:59:55.220 Just go do something else.

00:59:56.440 Don't even check.

00:59:57.840 Go for it.

00:59:58.420 Keep ignoring it.

01:00:01.580 Get offline completely if you need to.

01:00:03.160 Come back in a week and pretend it never happened.

01:00:06.460 You can have a bunch of people in your comments.

01:00:07.900 The first time you come back, you start posting.

01:00:09.500 A bunch of people in the comments are going to go, are you going to comment on this?

01:00:11.800 Are you going to comment?

01:00:14.580 There's actually a certain satisfaction in just ignoring it.

01:00:16.860 You're like, no, I'm not going to comment.

01:00:18.660 I don't have to.

01:00:19.500 I don't have to bark on command.

01:00:21.140 You need to comment on this.

01:00:23.560 No, I don't.

01:00:24.140 I don't have to.

01:00:25.140 I don't have to do anything.

01:00:26.260 I don't care what kind of comment you want to hear.

01:00:28.680 Take that.

01:00:30.780 But if you really feel like you have to address it, then address it by looking directly into 1.00

01:00:34.320 the camera and telling your critics to kiss your ass. 1.00

01:00:37.320 Let them know they're a bunch of whiny, ridiculous children and you don't care how they feel. 1.00

01:00:41.000 Now, if you do this, this will probably set them off even more. 0.99

01:00:44.000 The mob will become more hysterical with rage, but that will be their last gasp because

01:00:49.600 they'll know they can't break you.

01:00:51.600 They're not going to win.

01:00:52.600 They're not going to be able to extract the apology.

01:00:55.660 So after screaming impotently for another day at most, they'll pack it up and go searching

01:01:00.220 for a new target. 1.00

01:01:02.260 Either of these strategies, ignoring the mob or telling them to kiss your ass would have 1.00

01:01:05.740 been a fine way to approach this. 0.99

01:01:07.160 But you did the one thing, Joey, that you must never, ever, ever do under any circumstance.

01:01:12.280 You apologized.

01:01:13.220 You validated the performative, fake, manipulative outrage of these cry bullies by kneeling before 0.87

01:01:21.520 them and bowing your head in submission. 0.51

01:01:24.480 You gave them what they want.

01:01:26.140 You didn't just negotiate with the terrorists.

01:01:28.180 You surrendered to them entirely.

01:01:30.120 And again, you did this in the year 2025 at a time when the woke mob is weaker and more

01:01:34.260 reviled than it's ever been.

01:01:35.520 A time when you could have issued a gloriously defiant statement, doubling and tripling down.

01:01:40.800 You could have come out in your Hulk Hogan costume, you know, and issued a statement

01:01:46.140 telling these people, you don't care what any of them think.

01:01:50.140 You apologize for nothing.

01:01:52.520 In fact, you're glad that they're upset and crying.

01:01:56.980 You know, they're claiming they're not going to watch your content anymore.

01:01:59.680 Go ahead. 0.99

01:02:00.000 I don't even want you to watch my content, you losers. 0.99

01:02:02.220 You could have said something like that and you would have had legions of people coming 0.99

01:02:08.080 here to your defense and celebrating you for your boldness and courage.

01:02:13.340 Instead, you caved.

01:02:16.020 And it's interesting and revealing that we see this pitiful display from a fitness influencer

01:02:21.180 and gym bro, a guy who looks like he could bench press my house.

01:02:25.280 What we see here is the difference between performative strength and true masculine strength.

01:02:34.720 It's good for men to work out, exercise, build muscle, take care of their bodies.

01:02:39.340 I fully support that.

01:02:40.760 I think it's great for guys to go to the gym.

01:02:42.140 You should.

01:02:44.120 But it's all for nothing.

01:02:45.600 It's all for show.

01:02:46.540 It's pure vanity.

01:02:47.780 It is no different than a woman getting Botox if you're stacking muscle on top of muscle 1.00

01:02:58.060 while you have a weak spirit and weak character.

01:03:03.000 If all that muscle is concealing a soft, weak character, then it doesn't mean anything.

01:03:09.700 It's pure vanity.

01:03:11.120 It's just appearance and nothing more.

01:03:13.020 Ultimately, a man is defined by not how much he can bench press, but by how he stands up

01:03:21.220 or if he stands up in the kinds of situations that Joey Swole found himself in. 0.78

01:03:25.420 Can you look these manipulative brats in the face with their crocodile tears streaming down 1.00

01:03:30.180 their faces and tell them in no uncertain terms that you will never bow to them, you will never 0.99

01:03:34.560 give them what they want?

01:03:36.700 That's what a man does.

01:03:39.040 There are moments that define a man.

01:03:41.260 And I'll tell you something, as much as I think it's great to go to the gym, those

01:03:45.260 moments rarely happen at a gym.

01:03:50.480 When they do happen, do you rise to the moment or do you shrink away?

01:03:56.000 Joey Swole shrank.

01:03:57.920 And that is why he is today, sorry to say, canceled.

01:04:03.420 That'll do it for the show today.

01:04:04.320 Thanks for watching.

01:04:04.780 Thanks for listening.

01:04:05.620 Talk to you tomorrow.

01:04:06.760 Have a great day.
