The Matt Walsh Show - Ep. 1633 - Feminist Rape Hoax Obliterates Lives Of Canadian Hockey Stars

00:00:00.000 Today on the Matt Walsh Show, a very high-profile rape case in Canada involving five professional hockey players has come to an end.

00:00:05.380 The men were all acquitted because the whole thing was a hoax, yet their lives and careers have already been destroyed.

00:00:10.380 The story sounds bad. It gets even worse, and we'll discuss it.

00:00:13.820 Also, is Donald Trump actually considering giving a pardon to P. Diddy?

00:00:17.540 And if so, why in the hell would he ever do that?

00:00:20.540 An elected official in Cincinnati publicly declares that she was happy to see white people getting beaten unconscious at the music festival this past weekend.

00:00:27.120 Plus, there's a new Batman film in the works. This one portrays Batman as an avenging Aztec warrior going to battle against the villainous European colonizers.

00:00:36.320 You thought Wokeness was dead. Not quite. All of that and more today on the Matt Walsh Show.

00:00:57.120 How many times have you told someone, if it ain't broke, don't fix it?

00:02:14.260 Imagine that one day your completely non-threatening, well-adjusted neighbor is suddenly overcome with bloodlust.

00:02:22.040 He becomes transfixed by delusions as he rants and raves in a bizarre frenzy.

00:02:26.720 And then imagine that these delusions don't go away.

00:02:29.340 They continue for a very long time, many years in fact.

00:02:32.560 Even if your neighbor isn't that important or interesting, you probably pause for a moment to figure out what's going on,

00:02:37.360 if only for the sake of your own security, peace of mind, and morbid curiosity.

00:02:41.560 This is why every so often it's important to check in, as we do on this show, on Canada, our neighbor to the north.

00:02:48.220 Even as they watch their quality of life plummet as foreign invaders flood into their country,

00:02:52.600 Canadians have not turned their outrage on their leaders.

00:02:55.600 In fact, Canadians have just reelected those leaders.

00:02:58.500 Instead, Canadians have become obsessed to a psychotic degree with exacting vengeance on two specific groups.

00:03:04.780 And their first target, as we discussed many times before, is Christians.

00:03:10.320 Arsonists torched dozens of churches in Canada because of a lie about mass graves being discovered at residential schools.

00:03:17.300 And so we know about that. We've talked about it.

00:03:19.540 The other target in Canada, which has become increasingly obvious, is white males.

00:03:24.640 They're frequently defamed and demonized in bizarre coordinated hoaxes.

00:03:29.060 A few years ago, the trucker convoy got a taste of this deep-seated hatred.

00:03:32.200 They were falsely accused of committing apartment arson before they were debanked and beaten in the streets.

00:03:38.240 More recently, though, as you may have heard, or maybe not,

00:03:42.780 five professional hockey players, members of Canada's World Junior Hockey Team,

00:03:46.680 who went on to play in the NHL, were accused of sexually assaulting a woman in a hotel room in London, Ontario,

00:03:52.980 all the way back in June of 2018.

00:03:55.200 This is a case that has transfixed all of Canada.

00:03:58.200 It's like their OJ trial.

00:03:59.420 And it's worth discussing at length because no one in Canada's state-owned media has told the truth about it.

00:04:06.100 So I'll begin by recounting the version of events that Canadians have been told to believe for several years now.

00:04:11.980 The condensed version of the official narrative is that these hockey players,

00:04:17.280 between the ages of 18 and 20, went to a bar after attending a fundraiser.

00:04:22.200 And according to Canadian media, the players met a 20-year-old woman named E.M.

00:04:27.260 and proceeded to buy her several drinks to the point that she was out of it, quote-unquote,

00:04:32.260 and was completely unaware of what was happening.

00:04:34.300 And then one of the players left the bar, took the woman to a hotel room, and had sex with her,

00:04:38.860 before inviting other hockey players into the room to potentially engage in sex acts with her as well.

00:04:43.380 Now, initially, the police didn't take her claim seriously,

00:04:47.600 but when the woman filed a civil lawsuit against Hockey Canada, the regulatory body that oversees the sport,

00:04:52.860 things began to change.

00:04:54.720 Hockey Canada decided to settle, even though the police decided there wasn't enough evidence for criminal charges.

00:05:00.580 And what followed were years of allegations in the Canadian media that Hockey Canada was corrupt,

00:05:05.920 and that these five hockey players had gotten away with sexually assaulting this poor, innocent woman.

00:05:12.640 The police eventually caved under pressure from every politician in Canada,

00:05:16.660 and they arrested the players in early 2024.

00:05:21.300 Here's just one example of the kind of coverage that Canadian state media was producing during this period.

00:05:27.500 Watch.

00:05:28.460 And now the Minister of Sport has had enough.

00:05:31.660 I think this is a breaking point for hockey.

00:05:34.280 I really feel like hockey, as it is, is in danger.

00:05:38.960 It's the Canadian scandal that won't go away.

00:05:41.900 Mr. Smith?

00:05:42.820 Police say they have reasonable grounds to believe that five members of the 2018 Junior Hockey

00:05:49.360 committed sexual assault in that hotel room that night.

00:05:53.260 The story starts here, at Jack's Pub in London, in June 2018.

00:06:00.120 When members of Canada's national junior team arrived to celebrate after a Hockey Canada fundraiser.

00:06:10.000 Jack's is London's go-to place for cheap drinks and a dance floor packed with late teens and 20-something.

00:06:16.680 And what's alleged to have happened next would trigger a national scandal,

00:06:21.680 a multi-million dollar lawsuit, and a crisis unlike any that hockey has known.

00:06:26.700 The statement of claim is in E.M.'s words.

00:06:30.240 She alleges,

00:06:30.880 John Doe No. 1 and his teammates bought her a number of alcoholic beverages and shots.

00:06:37.320 She became increasingly intoxicated throughout the night with glassy eyes, slurred speech,

00:06:43.520 stumbling, and loss of balance.

00:06:46.520 So already you see how this is being presented.

00:06:48.740 It's a scandal so bad, we're told, that it could be a breaking point for hockey.

00:06:52.800 The entire sport of hockey is in danger, says a very stern-looking woman who serves as the minister of sport.

00:07:01.180 Yes, the act of hitting a puck into a goal with a stick and skating a lot on the ice is somehow in jeopardy

00:07:07.140 because of the events that took place in a hotel room back in 2018.

00:07:11.140 That's how powerful these five random NHL players are.

00:07:14.460 And if we don't stop these five white guys now, who knows what's next?

00:07:17.360 They might end up erasing baseball and soccer, too.

00:07:20.880 It's an existential threat to everything we hold dear.

00:07:25.120 As the CBC program went on, various experts appeared to make the case that something really nefarious and criminal had occurred.

00:07:32.260 And as they did so, they were careful to minimize any evidence that suggested the hockey players might be totally innocent.

00:07:39.020 Watch.

00:07:39.940 I mean, it was a very, it sounds like a very coercive and abusive experience that she was subjected to.

00:07:47.360 We asked law professor Melanie Randall of Western University in London, an expert on sexual assault, to interpret EM's version of events.

00:07:56.920 It makes sense that in a situation like that, when you feel under threat, when you feel stressed,

00:08:02.160 when you feel that the threat of violation is imminent, that you would just try to get through it.

00:08:07.140 She also described trying to leave on multiple occasions and that the exit to the unit was blocked.

00:08:13.220 She described crying.

00:08:14.260 She explained that she needed to retreat to the bathroom to get away on multiple occasions.

00:08:20.000 She was unable to say no.

00:08:22.240 Throughout the encounter, she felt disassociated from everything.

00:08:27.260 Imagine being a young woman in a crowded hotel room with a group of strapping young men who are athletes, who are much bigger.

00:08:34.760 The general public don't understand.

00:08:36.740 They just think, why didn't you fight back?

00:08:38.740 Why didn't you say no?

00:08:39.700 Why didn't you get the hell out of there?

00:08:40.960 She described why she didn't.

00:08:43.260 It was a very stressful, very frightening experience that should never have happened.

00:08:47.780 Make a mental note of two key elements that are being excused here.

00:08:52.600 First, we're told to ignore the fact that EM might have been a willing participant in the sexual encounter,

00:08:58.520 which seems like a rather relevant detail for a rape trial.

00:09:01.420 We're told that, according to a law professor, this detail somehow is not relevant to consider.

00:09:07.660 And then we're told that EM was unable to say no, although that's not really explained.

00:09:12.560 The implication is that she was physically being held in the room against her will because the men were blocking the door or something.

00:09:17.900 In terms of firsthand verifiable information, probably the most important evidence in this case were two videos that were shot inside the hotel room by the hockey players that night.

00:09:27.340 And here's how CBC addresses those videos.

00:09:29.880 The videos you were shown, describe them, please.

00:09:35.140 Well, one of the videos was about six seconds in length.

00:09:37.920 It was very grainy.

00:09:39.200 It was clear that it had been shot on a cell phone.

00:09:43.420 And the video showed a woman, and she was being asked if it was okay, and she said, it's okay.

00:09:51.020 And that was it.

00:09:51.820 And then the second video was longer, and it was about 12 seconds long.

00:09:56.820 And it looked as if it was in a hotel room.

00:09:59.920 And the woman was shown sort of from here up with a bath towel around her and asked someone if she was being filmed,

00:10:09.780 and if so, why she was being filmed, and said that everything was fine and that she was—and this was her words—she was too sober to do this right now.

00:10:18.560 I think, for me, why are they filming these videos is a big question that people had when those stories came out in the summer.

00:10:28.420 And we know from Player One's interview, he says to the London police he took this because he was worried about a police investigation.

00:10:36.960 And that's what the ITO claims, that he told officers this.

00:10:41.420 Now, first of all, before we go any further, I need to make it clear that they lied about what she says in the video.

00:10:47.300 So here's the full transcript from the second video.

00:10:51.480 Quote, EM, okay, it was all consensual.

00:10:55.020 Are you recording me?

00:10:57.320 Michael McLeod, yeah.

00:10:59.760 EM, okay, good, it was all consensual.

00:11:02.900 Then another hockey player asks, what else?

00:11:04.880 And EM responds, you are so paranoid.

00:11:07.940 I enjoyed it.

00:11:08.980 It was fine.

00:11:10.080 It was all consensual.

00:11:11.320 I am so sober.

00:11:12.640 That's why I can't do this right now.

00:11:15.260 Close quote.

00:11:16.420 Additionally, the judge determined that, quote, while speaking on the video, EM does not display any signs of intoxication.

00:11:21.640 She has no difficulty speaking or standing.

00:11:23.820 She is not slurring her words and speaks clearly and coherently.

00:11:27.860 In that video from CBC, as you may have noticed, they only give you the last sentence.

00:11:31.860 They don't tell you she was clearly sober.

00:11:34.880 And they omit the fact that she repeatedly said that everything was consensual.

00:11:39.920 But you think it would be the beginning and that's the open and shut case right there.

00:11:45.900 You have the woman on video immediately after this encounter saying multiple times it was consensual.

00:11:53.740 There's no case.

00:11:55.140 None at all.

00:11:55.860 Now, instead of telling the truth, they imply that the sheer fact that this video exists is, in fact, somehow evidence of guilt.

00:12:05.180 After all, why would the players want to record a video demonstrating this woman consented?

00:12:08.820 Isn't that something a guilty person would do?

00:12:12.060 If you don't have evidence of your innocence, well, then that means you're guilty.

00:12:22.440 And if you do have evidence of your innocence, it also means you're guilty.

00:12:26.900 That's the logic here.

00:12:28.080 So here's the problem, which, I mean, should be very obvious.

00:12:31.880 In Canada and in many states in this country, affirmative consent is now mandatory.

00:12:38.420 You're required by law to take some overt, explicit steps to demonstrate that you have consent before you have sex in every context.

00:12:49.920 And you're required to keep checking in.

00:12:52.140 This is what affirmative consent is.

00:12:53.640 It's what they teach on college campuses.

00:12:56.720 Here's a video from the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, for example, followed by an interview with a Canadian feminist on a news program.

00:13:05.180 Watch.

00:13:06.240 So you're making out and you decide you're not comfortable with where it's going.

00:13:11.560 If you say no or show that you don't want to participate, it should stop there.

00:13:16.720 And that's OK.

00:13:17.460 Or you're making out and you decide you really like where it's going.

00:13:23.580 And you let the other person know.

00:13:25.900 You have given sexual consent.

00:13:28.700 Remember, because your body is yours, you can still say no at any time.

00:13:34.700 And whoever you're with must respect that.

00:13:37.840 See, sexual consent should be clear, voluntary, enthusiastic, and ongoing.

00:13:43.880 One person seeks consent and the other person gives consent.

00:13:48.460 One more thing.

00:13:50.140 There are laws about sexual consent, and you should learn them.

00:13:53.020 What is consent?

00:13:54.900 Consent is saying that you agree with sex and that you will agree with what's coming.

00:14:00.960 It's not just about saying words.

00:14:02.900 It's about your body language.

00:14:04.180 It's about the way you're responding to what happens.

00:14:06.560 It's about communication.

00:14:07.640 And communication isn't just a one-word thing, as we know.

00:14:10.680 It's not just yes or no.

00:14:12.340 We have to have a continual conversation.

00:14:15.260 And it has to be backed up with regular check-ins.

00:14:18.540 It's a dance.

00:14:19.560 It's not just you say yes once and then you've got carte blanche for the rest of your...

00:14:24.520 Yeah, you're not registering a vote.

00:14:25.940 That's right.

00:14:26.460 The implication of all these instructions is pretty obvious.

00:14:29.320 If consent means that you need both explicit and implicit signs of consent, and that consent

00:14:34.180 can be revoked at any time, then men face a very difficult, if not really insurmountable,

00:14:38.560 impossible burden of proof in the event of a false allegation.

00:14:41.180 From a rational perspective, the best way to satisfy this burden of proof would be recording

00:14:47.000 footage after the encounter is over, affirming that everything was indeed consensual and

00:14:50.660 that everyone is relatively sober.

00:14:52.700 You think that would do the trick?

00:14:55.220 That's exactly what these hockey players did.

00:14:57.060 And yet, in doing so, now we're told that the hockey players simply provided more evidence

00:15:01.500 of their guilt.

00:15:03.200 So they're damned if they do, damned if they don't.

00:15:07.160 This is an obvious smear campaign, very clear, but it's worked.

00:15:11.180 There are tens of thousands of vitriolic social media posts directed at them.

00:15:14.960 The posts are continuing today.

00:15:16.300 The reputations and careers have been destroyed.

00:15:18.020 The NHL kicked them out of the league.

00:15:19.960 And yet, after all these lies and despite all this public pressure, all five of the players

00:15:24.480 were just acquitted of all the charges against them.

00:15:28.140 In a trial, in a case that never should have happened, they were acquitted.

00:15:32.540 Yes, you heard that correctly.

00:15:33.780 Canada's Daniel Penny case has effectively just taken place.

00:15:36.540 A judge heard all the evidence and rendered the correct verdict.

00:15:39.900 And here's what the judge looked like.

00:15:41.520 Now, admittedly, it's a fairly low-resolution courtroom sketch.

00:15:44.160 One might say this sketch is so bad that it has no reason to exist.

00:15:47.220 And you'd be right if you said that.

00:15:48.620 So here's an actual photo of the judge.

00:15:50.620 Her name is Justice Maria Carrochia.

00:15:54.140 She's the eldest child of Italian immigrants.

00:15:56.500 And against all odds, in defiance of an awful lot of stereotypes about female judges,

00:16:00.940 especially ones in Canada, frankly, she issued a very lengthy takedown of every single

00:16:05.740 charge against these hockey players.

00:16:07.460 And then she acquitted every single one of them.

00:16:10.280 It's not an exaggeration to say that this decision, all 91 pages of it, is the single

00:16:14.700 greatest indictment of feminist propaganda that has been written in the past decade.

00:16:19.620 It is a point-by-point refutation of every single claim that was made by feminists and

00:16:24.420 left-wing activists in this case, as well as their broader claims that women's subjective

00:16:28.280 beliefs are more important than observable, verifiable facts.

00:16:33.100 You can read the whole decision online, but I'm going to go through some of the most important

00:16:37.780 parts of it now.

00:16:38.940 We'll start with this observation from the judge from page 64 of her decision.

00:16:41.920 The complainant gave a vague answer when it was suggested to her in cross-examination that

00:16:47.440 it was easier for her to deny the deliberate choices she made on June 18th and 19th, 2018,

00:16:52.600 than to acknowledge the shame, guilt, and embarrassment about those choices.

00:16:56.040 She did not deny the suggestion.

00:16:58.420 She said, I don't know.

00:17:00.340 I'm kind of struggling to understand that, and went on to explain that she blames herself

00:17:04.220 and that other people should be held accountable, but it was a combination of things.

00:17:08.260 On several occasions, the complainant referred to her evidence as her truth rather than the

00:17:13.420 truth, which seemingly blurs the line between what she believes to be true and what is objectively

00:17:18.600 true.

00:17:19.900 In other words, the judge picked up on the fact that this woman was willing to state explicitly

00:17:24.300 that her emotions, or her truth, were more important than the actual truth.

00:17:31.280 This is how everyone in all contexts should respond to the idea that individuals have their

00:17:35.540 own truth.

00:17:36.160 They should be immediately discredited.

00:17:39.180 Everything they say should be disregarded, which is what happened eventually in this case.

00:17:45.560 And it's clear why this alleged victim would resort to talking about her truth instead of

00:17:50.280 the facts.

00:17:51.040 As it turns out, EM had a boyfriend at the time of this incident.

00:17:55.540 No big surprise there.

00:17:57.360 She had just cheated on him with several hockey players, and after that experience in the hotel

00:18:03.880 room, she went home and cried in her bathroom until her mother discovered her.

00:18:07.960 And at that point, her mother and father wanted to know what had happened.

00:18:11.000 Without consulting her daughter in any meaningful way, the mother called the police and decided

00:18:15.240 that her child had been drugged.

00:18:17.940 So there's a very clear reason why her truth might suddenly emerge in that context.

00:18:23.120 She needed a way to absolve herself of her conduct so that her mother and her boyfriend would

00:18:27.180 not be upset with her.

00:18:28.120 But that's the motive.

00:18:30.460 That is a very common motive in cases like this.

00:18:34.640 A woman goes out, behaves in a whorish and despicable way, as this woman did, and then

00:18:40.840 feels regret and decides rather than be accountable, she's going to destroy the lives of numerous

00:18:46.640 people, numerous innocent people.

00:18:48.360 She would rather utterly ruin their lives than accept any accountability for her own despicable,

00:18:54.540 scummy, disgusting behavior.

00:18:56.720 And that's not all.

00:18:57.600 If you go back and look at the text that this woman sent on the night of this incident, it

00:19:02.220 becomes clear that she was upset because the players didn't care much about her.

00:19:06.000 Quoting from the judge's decision, quote, she agreed in cross-examination that at this point

00:19:10.180 in the evening, she began to think that Mr. McLeod was a jerk because he was just getting

00:19:14.520 ready to go to bed and wanted her to leave.

00:19:16.400 He said something like, are you going to leave anytime soon?

00:19:19.280 This comment made her feel like he was not treating her respectfully.

00:19:22.720 This annoyed her.

00:19:23.840 She felt he was being rude.

00:19:25.360 She agreed with her suggestion made to her that she called him a jerk at this point.

00:19:28.800 Mr. McLeod did not walk her to the door.

00:19:31.240 He got into bed to go to sleep.

00:19:32.460 He did not call her a cab or an Uber.

00:19:34.340 The complainant acknowledged as well that she was upset when Mr. McLeod asked her if she was

00:19:38.100 sure that she didn't have any STDs.

00:19:40.240 She was offended by the question.

00:19:43.940 Now, we'll get to it in a minute here.

00:19:46.400 That's why these men might not have had any respect for this woman.

00:19:51.080 She was not treating herself with any respect.

00:19:53.240 She not really, you know, she did this.

00:19:56.100 And that's the way it goes when you have random hookups with strangers.

00:19:59.120 Yeah.

00:19:59.340 You know, they don't respect you.

00:20:00.720 You don't respect them.

00:20:01.700 You're both using each other.

00:20:03.060 That's the way it goes.

00:20:04.060 That's what you signed up for.

00:20:05.360 And this is a very familiar set of facts.

00:20:09.880 This woman had a porn star fantasy, but in practice, it turned out to be extremely degrading

00:20:14.000 and awkward for everybody involved.

00:20:17.060 And then the regret kicked in.

00:20:19.560 And rather than explain the truth to her family and boyfriend, she chose the easy lie.

00:20:23.740 But even if you put aside her obvious motive to lie, there's a mountain of other evidence

00:20:28.800 that she was, in fact, lying.

00:20:30.620 Let's put some of those up on the screen.

00:20:32.180 Again, this is from the judge's decision.

00:20:33.520 Quote,

00:20:33.680 The complainant testified that Mr. McLeod took her hand and placed it on his crotch, as

00:20:37.680 did others.

00:20:38.660 Across examination, EM was shown a video, and she acknowledged that the video clearly showed

00:20:43.220 that she touched Mr. McLeod's genital area.

00:20:45.540 Mr. McLeod did not guide her hand, nor cause her to touch him.

00:20:49.460 The complainant testified that the players bought six of the drinks she consumed.

00:20:54.320 This was not supported by the video evidence.

00:20:57.120 The video from Jack's bar shows that EM purchased eight drinks for herself.

00:21:01.580 EM testified that the players separated her from her friends.

00:21:04.560 She was shown the video from Jack's bar that showed that throughout the night, she spoke

00:21:08.360 to a bouncer who she identified as a friend from high school.

00:21:11.260 She also had a long conversation with him at the end of the night.

00:21:15.340 Okay, so we have, so, so it's just, you're getting the thing here.

00:21:18.180 We have, we have multiple videos all throughout, which you don't normally have in cases like

00:21:24.640 this, but, which, which is why very often when men are victims of false rape claims, they're

00:21:31.460 just screwed because they don't have all this video evidence.

00:21:34.200 Usually there's not a lot of video, but in this case, there's video evidence documenting

00:21:39.580 throughout the night, from the beginning to the end, where you see that she's lying every

00:21:45.680 step of the way, that she was initiating it, that she was drinking on her own, that she

00:21:49.280 touched him at the end of the night, she said it was consensual multiple times.

00:21:53.740 And with all that video evidence, they still had their lives destroyed, their careers over

00:21:57.480 and they were arrested anyway.

00:22:00.180 Oh, and also as for the claim that she was blocked from leaving the room, here's another

00:22:03.420 portion of the ruling quote, EM agreed with a suggestion and cross-examination that none

00:22:07.140 of the men physically stopped her from leaving the room.

00:22:09.320 When asked why she did not leave after coming out of the bathroom, since the door, the room

00:22:13.120 was very close to the bathroom door.

00:22:14.400 She explained that she did not think of that.

00:22:18.440 Oh, she, she wanted to leave supposedly, but she didn't think of leaving.

00:22:24.100 She didn't, she, there's a door right there with the exit to leave.

00:22:28.260 And she, and so she's sitting there in the room and she's thinking to herself, Hmm, I

00:22:32.920 really want to leave.

00:22:34.020 I wish that I wasn't in this room anymore.

00:22:36.420 Hmm.

00:22:36.860 How, how might I, how can I, what can I do about that?

00:22:40.480 I'm in a place right now and I would like to not be in that place anymore.

00:22:44.980 How do I solve this problem?

00:22:47.120 What do I do?

00:22:48.980 Well, it never occurred to her to stand up, use her legs, walk to the door, open it and

00:22:53.260 leave.

00:22:53.520 She never thought of that.

00:22:54.400 Just never thought of it.

00:22:57.500 Which means it's the men's fault and they should go to prison as rapists, right?

00:23:02.600 Now it goes on from there.

00:23:03.720 She lied about pretty much every relevant fact on the night of question.

00:23:06.460 Nothing about her story makes sense.

00:23:07.940 Ultimately, across examination, she quote, agreed while testified.

00:23:10.480 That she filled in the gaps in her memory or knowledge with assumptions.

00:23:15.560 At one point in her ruling, the judge even provided a bullet list of all the gaps in her

00:23:19.280 memory.

00:23:19.960 Now I'm not going to read them all, but you can see them on the screen.

00:23:24.380 She supposedly didn't remember dancing with one of the players, texting a friend, speaking

00:23:28.180 to the bouncer, being recorded on either of the videos or much of what was said in the

00:23:32.540 hotel room.

00:23:33.940 She also didn't remember, quote, having sex with Mr. McLeod in the shower at the end of the

00:23:37.480 night until it was included in the statement of claim filed in 2022.

00:23:42.160 That last part is especially significant.

00:23:44.820 This incident happened in 2018.

00:23:48.080 At the time, the alleged victim provided three statements to the police.

00:23:51.560 None of those statements mentioned that she was fearful in any way during these encounters.

00:23:55.020 Instead, she said that she liked the attention she was receiving.

00:23:57.240 But all of that changed once the multi-million dollar lawsuit was filed several years later.

00:24:03.260 And at that point, she suddenly claimed to have experienced, quote, terror and fear.

00:24:08.780 But even in 2022, she gave a statement to Hockey Canada investigators on July 20, 2022, in which

00:24:13.260 she said, quote, she agreed, quote, that she was not so drunk at the time that she could not

00:24:18.720 consent to engage in sexual activity.

00:24:21.000 Now, already, there are about a million holes with this story.

00:24:26.080 I mean, it's already there's it's proven.

00:24:29.160 It's like an undeniably proven that she is lying and that no rape occurred.

00:24:37.020 This woman is clearly not credible and the case never should have made it anywhere near trial.

00:24:41.460 Nobody should have arrested.

00:24:42.340 There should have been no trial, nothing.

00:24:44.100 There should have been zero consequences for these men.

00:24:47.680 All the consequences should have went to this despicable woman.

00:24:50.180 And we'll talk about that more.

00:24:51.700 But we'll put up one more portion of the judge's decision, because this is really where things

00:24:55.280 get over the top.

00:24:57.700 Quote.

00:24:59.260 On the basis of all the evidence, I find as fact that the complainant did express that

00:25:03.940 she wanted to engage in sexual activity with the men.

00:25:07.260 And I have to read this.

00:25:08.260 This is going to get this is going to get vulgar and graphic, unfortunately.

00:25:10.620 But this is what the this is what the decision says is what the judge said.

00:25:14.980 So she did engage in sexual activity with the men by saying things like,

00:25:18.160 is someone going to F me and masturbating?

00:25:23.200 Given the issues relating to the credibility and reliability of the complaints evidence,

00:25:26.300 I conclude that I cannot rely on.

00:25:30.060 Well, that's the understatement of the century.

00:25:31.640 If you're masturbating and demanding that men, quote, F you, then it's safe to say that you've

00:25:38.940 consented to sexual activity.

00:25:41.120 OK, you don't need Perry Mason on this one.

00:25:44.280 If that doesn't count as consent.

00:25:46.280 Then nothing ever could.

00:25:50.320 If a woman sitting there is, you know, already engaging in sexual activity and saying, hey,

00:25:57.000 someone come have sex with me.

00:25:58.240 If that's not consent.

00:26:00.740 If a man is a rapist because he engages in sexual activity with a woman under those

00:26:04.600 circumstances, then then then every man in history is a rapist and every sexual encounter

00:26:08.960 that has ever occurred was rape.

00:26:10.800 Now, there were other incriminating quotes from this alleged victim, too, like when she

00:26:16.340 taunted the men for not wanting to have sex with her, she called them the P word.

00:26:21.420 And when she was asked in court about whether she said all this, she didn't deny it.

00:26:27.280 Oh, and by the way, the alleged victim also admitted, quote, it could have appeared I was

00:26:31.460 consenting.

00:26:33.620 And when she was asked whether a hockey player had said, quote, this girl is effing crazy,

00:26:37.920 she agreed, quote, that could have been said in response to her saying someone have sex

00:26:43.700 with me.

00:26:46.200 I could spend the next hour going through all the many absurdities in this case.

00:26:49.480 Put simply, there's not a single shred of credible evidence justifying any of these

00:26:53.320 charges or the crazed vitriol these players had to endure still have to endure.

00:26:59.760 Their lives were destroyed because of a very obvious fraud.

00:27:03.740 And even now, after this acquittal, the NHL won't let them back in the league.

00:27:09.260 Outside the courthouse, one of the defense lawyers made it clear how predictable all of

00:27:13.040 this was.

00:27:13.800 Watch.

00:27:14.660 To anyone who is surprised or angered by today's outcome, it is the direct result of the media's

00:27:22.460 ongoing failure to publicize the weaknesses in the prosecution's case as it unfolded.

00:27:28.340 But the office of the Crown Attorney knew what today's verdict was likely to be.

00:27:37.500 And the evidence at trial came as no surprise to them or anyone with full knowledge of the

00:27:44.580 investigation.

00:27:45.180 Almost every single feature of the evidence that Justice Kerasia identified today as fatal

00:27:54.420 flaws for the Crown was known to prosecutors and to police from 2018.

00:28:04.160 Today's outcome was not just predictable, it was predicted.

00:28:08.120 The Crown Attorney did not have to take this case to trial.

00:28:14.880 Mr. Hart, in particular, was willing to engage in a restorative justice process.

00:28:20.900 He was willing to be publicly named and prepared to use his public platform to teach other athletes

00:28:28.300 about how to ensure that their sexual encounters are responsible and thoughtful.

00:28:34.520 The last part there is interesting, though, not for the reasons this lawyer is implying.

00:28:41.700 It's true that in Canada, so-called restorative justice is often provided as an alternative

00:28:46.200 to imprisonment, but it's usually only offered to non-white defendants.

00:28:51.000 Consider that at the same time these white men were being prosecuted for a crime they

00:28:54.560 clearly did not commit, foreign nationals were being let out of jail in obvious cases of

00:28:59.260 sexual assault.

00:28:59.900 This is from the National Post, reporting out of Calgary, quote, 25-year-old Rajbir Singh,

00:29:06.660 currently here on a visitor's permit after initially coming to Canada in 2018 to study,

00:29:11.540 was out one night at the Back Alley nightclub when he groped an 18-year-old woman's genitals

00:29:15.400 under her skirt as she stood at the bar to buy a drink.

00:29:18.040 When she turned around in shock, he did it again and walked away, according to the court

00:29:21.780 ruling.

00:29:22.160 Singh was found guilty of sexual assault at trial, but he wasn't convicted.

00:29:25.740 Instead, in January, he was given a discharge by Justice A.J. Brown.

00:29:29.680 The judge explained that a conviction would automatically result in deportation without

00:29:33.120 a right to appeal, while a discharge wouldn't generate a permanent criminal record and would

00:29:37.080 preserve Singh's right to appeal his deportation.

00:29:41.300 Well, yes, because you wouldn't want, I mean, you wouldn't want a foreigner who's in a back

00:29:45.360 alley groping women to be deported.

00:29:47.900 No, we got to keep these people here.

00:29:49.520 What this means is that the Canadian legal system will go out of its way to reward foreigners

00:29:56.200 who commit actual sex offenses, but white men will have their lives destroyed because

00:30:02.760 a woman decides to invent her own, quote, truth.

00:30:07.140 Now, the only way to restore the rule of law in places like Canada and to prevent similar

00:30:11.000 hoaxes from taking place here is to actually charge hoaxers like this woman and give them

00:30:16.520 the same kind of sentence the men would have gotten if they were convicted.

00:30:20.600 That's not happening anywhere.

00:30:24.020 I mean, this despicable, awful woman deserves to rot in prison for the rest of her life.

00:30:29.720 She should never see.

00:30:30.640 She is just as evil as a rapist, and she is just as much a threat to society and to innocent

00:30:36.200 people as a rapist.

00:30:37.660 A woman who would try to get revenge on men who hurt her feelings by destroying their lives,

00:30:44.220 ending their careers, and attempting to have them thrown in prison is an evil and dangerous

00:30:49.340 person who does not deserve to ever see the outside of a prison cell ever again.

00:30:54.720 So throw her in jail.

00:30:56.480 And if for some reason you can't do that, then create a registry like the sex offender registry,

00:31:02.800 but for lying women who make up rape claims and put her on it, make her walk around to

00:31:08.040 her neighbors every time she moves into a new community and alert them to the fact that

00:31:12.100 she's a rape hoaxer and she'll be living next door.

00:31:16.500 Brand her with this scarlet letter for the rest of her life so that men know to avoid her

00:31:20.960 for the sake of their own safety.

00:31:23.940 That at least, at least that, at least that should be the consequence.

00:31:28.400 But that's not happening either.

00:31:31.760 Until it does, men, particularly white men, should understand that consent isn't actually

00:31:38.820 that important to these people.

00:31:40.520 What's important is control over you.

00:31:43.940 And one way or another, even if the facts completely contradict their narrative, they'll

00:31:48.360 find a way to exert that control.

00:31:51.420 And they will continue to do that until we finally recognize the threat we're up against.

00:31:56.380 Now let's get to our five headlines.

00:32:05.020 What if you could delay your next two mortgage payments?

00:32:59.460 Deadline reports, Donald Trump is heavily weighing giving Sean Diddy Combs a full presidential

00:33:03.800 pardon ahead of the convicted Bad Boy Records founder's sentencing later this year.

00:33:07.960 Nearly two months after Trump publicly entertained the notion of a Diddy pardon in an Oval Office

00:33:11.700 gaggle, a comprehensive get-out-of-jail card for Combs is being seriously considered, an administration

00:33:16.500 source tells, Deadline.

00:33:19.720 Now, I have no idea if this is true or not.

00:33:21.500 I like to think it's fake news.

00:33:22.820 Maybe it is.

00:33:23.680 Obviously, we know the news media loves to make up Trump stories, so maybe they are here.

00:33:28.140 But then again, Trump was asked about this a few weeks ago, and he didn't rule out the

00:33:34.640 idea of a pardon when he was asked about it.

00:33:38.160 So let's go back.

00:33:39.060 This was back July 2nd or 3rd, I think, and Peter Doocy over at Fox News asked him, is

00:33:47.040 there any chance of a pardon?

00:33:48.360 And here's what Trump said at the time.

00:33:50.880 You mentioned once in 2012 that Diddy was a good friend of yours back then.

00:33:55.720 He has since found himself in some very serious legal trouble.

00:33:58.860 Yeah, that's true.

00:33:59.680 Would you ever consider pardoning him?

00:34:01.580 Well, nobody's asked.

00:34:05.180 You ought to be the one to ask, Peter, but nobody's asked.

00:34:07.840 But I know people are thinking about it.

00:34:09.900 I know they're thinking about it.

00:34:11.580 I think people have been very close to asking.

00:34:14.180 First of all, I'd look at what's happening, and I haven't been watching it too closely,

00:34:19.520 although it's certainly getting a lot of coverage.

00:34:22.080 I haven't seen him.

00:34:23.180 I haven't spoken to him in years.

00:34:25.900 He used to really like me a lot.

00:34:27.800 But I think when I ran for politics, he sort of that relationship busted up from what I read.

00:34:33.680 I don't know.

00:34:34.000 He didn't tell me that, but I'd read some little bit nasty statements in the paper all of a sudden.

00:34:39.120 You know, it's different.

00:34:40.560 You become a much different person when you run for politics, and you do what's right.

00:34:45.240 I could do other things, and I'm sure he'd like me, and I'm sure other people would like me,

00:34:49.500 but it wouldn't be as good for our country.

00:34:51.000 As we said, our country's doing really well because of what we're doing.

00:34:55.120 So I can't.

00:34:55.740 It's not a popularity contest.

00:34:57.180 So, I don't know.

00:34:58.180 I would certainly look at the facts.

00:35:00.220 If I think somebody was mistreated, whether they like me or don't like me, it wouldn't have any impact on me.

00:35:07.540 So he says he's going to look into it, and he talks about how Diddy used to like him, and now he doesn't.

00:35:14.100 Not sure why that would factor into the answer at all.

00:35:17.000 Granted, Trump does not say that he'll pardon him, but he doesn't rule it out.

00:35:20.680 And if it were me, it would be very easy to say, hell no, I'm not going to pardon that freak.

00:35:28.780 Why would I?

00:35:30.300 We didn't pardon him.

00:35:31.580 Why would I waste one second of my time thinking of that freak?

00:35:36.180 Like, no, I'm not going to pardon him.

00:35:38.780 He's got an army of defense attorneys, and they've already gotten him off the hook on the most serious charges.

00:35:46.860 So, no, I'm not going to swoop in for him.

00:35:50.960 But Trump doesn't respond that way, and technically, sure, you know, saying that you have to look into something before you give an answer is a fair response.

00:35:59.360 But let me just say this.

00:36:03.220 Pardoning the diddler would be a completely insane act of political suicide.

00:36:08.180 I don't know if it's actually being considered, but if it is, it would be perhaps the greatest unforced error in the last 25 years of American politics, especially now, especially given all the bad press with the Epstein stuff.

00:36:22.160 I mean, in the midst of that, even without that, but in the midst of it in particular, to even entertain the idea of giving a pardon to this other high-profile sexual deviant, it's just, why?

00:36:41.660 Why would you even, why would that be on the table of anything that you would ever consider doing?

00:36:47.700 It would be a political disaster.

00:36:49.220 It's also the wrong thing to do.

00:36:51.760 I mean, politically, it's a total disaster.

00:36:54.420 Who are you appealing to politically?

00:36:56.180 Like, is there some outcry anywhere among any people to let Diddy off the hook?

00:37:05.140 But more importantly, it's just the wrong thing to do.

00:37:07.980 The diddler is a disgusting pervert freak.

00:37:10.520 He's a terrible person.

00:37:12.460 He's on camera beating his girlfriend.

00:37:13.960 He's, you know, he was hanging out with Justin Bieber when, you know, when he was like 14, grooming him and doing God knows what else, having giant drug-fueled orgies every other day for like 20 years.

00:37:26.940 Why in the hell would you fall on the sword for that degenerate scumbag?

00:37:32.340 Why would you do that?

00:37:33.600 Of all the people who deserve pardons, why him?

00:37:36.660 Why even consider it?

00:37:39.200 And I don't want to hear any argument about how, well, technically, you know, most people who commit the crimes the diddler committed wouldn't be prosecuted the same way.

00:37:48.400 Blah, blah, blah.

00:37:49.040 I'm not convinced that's true, but even if it is, who cares?

00:37:54.020 If you live your life as a totally out-of-control, depraved, abusive, deviant, you know, weirdo, then eventually it blows up in your face.

00:38:03.920 And you deserve it.

00:38:04.880 That's all.

00:38:07.120 Let this guy deal with the consequences of being just an absolutely disgusting, depraved lowlife.

00:38:12.200 Don't stand in the way and protect this sick bastard.

00:38:18.840 Why even consider that?

00:38:20.980 Why spend one second contemplating that possibility?

00:38:28.280 So, I hope that that is not going to happen.

00:38:32.760 Yesterday, we went into a deeper dive into the situation in Cincinnati and the campaign of anti-white race hatred that led to the brutal assaults on white people in the city this past weekend.

00:38:40.660 And I made the case that the city has been systemically and systematically anti-white and run by anti-white bigots for a long time.

00:38:50.960 And all that led to, and that's what primed the pump for, the chaos over the weekend.

00:38:57.240 And if you didn't watch the show yesterday, go back and watch it.

00:38:59.860 But there's one more example.

00:39:03.120 There's one more piece of evidence to make this case that I didn't mention yesterday.

00:39:08.440 And at the time when I recorded the show yesterday, this other thing was circulating, but I wasn't sure if it was real.

00:39:13.540 And I didn't want to repeat it or amplify it until I was sure that it was actually real.

00:39:18.660 Because it's one of those things that you see and it's like, you know it's probably real, but you want it.

00:39:26.160 In a sane world, you'd see this and you'd go, there's no, I can't, that can't be true.

00:39:32.200 But it is real.

00:39:35.280 So the New York Post reports, an Ohio City council member disturbingly claimed that the victims of the Cincinnati downtown brawl were asking to be assaulted during the ruthless mob attack.

00:39:44.440 They asked for that beatdown.

00:39:47.840 Cincinnati councilwoman Victoria Parks replied to video of the July 7th brawl on Facebook.

00:39:53.240 I'm grateful for the whole story, she added.

00:39:56.780 The 67-year-old Democrat angered Cincinnati's police union boss who blasted Parks for the comments and called for resignation.

00:40:04.380 It's unconscionable that an elected official will be celebrating violence in the very city she was voted to serve.

00:40:09.060 And other people were expressing their anger as well.

00:40:14.440 So this is Victoria Parks, a councilwoman in the city, saying that these white people had it coming and that she's grateful for it.

00:40:24.140 Even taking the racial dimensions out of it, you're a council member in the city and there is violence breaking out and you're grateful for the whole story?

00:40:37.820 What?

00:40:38.300 And by the way, just to put a little visual with it and to show you what Victoria Parks is grateful for, I want you to look at this picture.

00:40:50.920 I'll put it up on the screen.

00:40:51.740 This is Holly.

00:40:52.860 This is the white woman who was assaulted.

00:40:55.880 And this is what she looks like now.

00:40:58.260 Okay, you can see it there.

00:40:59.160 She suffered a severe concussion.

00:41:01.120 Her injuries are quite significant.

00:41:03.220 Her entire face is badly bruised and cut.

00:41:06.180 Huge black eye.

00:41:07.160 And Victoria Parks, an elected official in the city, is grateful for that.

00:41:13.660 That's what she's grateful for.

00:41:16.140 Now, I probably don't need to spend very much time explaining why no elected official, why no one in general should be celebrating racially motivated mob violence or mob violence of any kind.

00:41:28.320 I don't need to explain that Victoria Parks is an evil person and a despicable racist and, you know, should be thrown out of office and jeered at and condemned everywhere she goes for the rest of her life.

00:41:40.440 That's all obvious.

00:41:42.280 And if it's not obvious to you, then there's not much I can do for you.

00:41:45.580 To me, the bigger and more important point is that this woman felt comfortable making this statement publicly, casually on Facebook.

00:41:57.280 What does that tell you?

00:42:00.580 What does it tell you that she was perfectly comfortable announcing to the world that she thinks that white women deserve to be brutalized in the street?

00:42:08.960 It's one thing if you catch somebody like this on a secret camera footage, a hidden camera or something like that, you record without them knowing, and that would still be really bad.

00:42:25.300 But this is her on Facebook just leaving a comment.

00:42:29.320 Two comments.

00:42:30.180 So she posted the first comment and then really liked how that went, and so she posted the second one and said she's grateful for the whole story.

00:42:38.880 What does it tell you?

00:42:39.660 Well, it tells you that this kind of bigotry has been, as we covered yesterday, a part of the system in that city and every major city for decades.

00:42:46.700 It has metastasized.

00:42:48.180 It has cemented.

00:42:50.280 And now people like Victoria Parks just take it for granted.

00:42:53.340 She's a boomer woman.

00:42:55.320 She's in her 60s, which means most likely for her entire public life, or as long as she's had any kind of position in government, it has been entirely acceptable to express open disdain and hostility to white people.

00:43:08.760 And that is now changing.

00:43:11.500 That is now finally changing.

00:43:13.180 And there are a lot of people who are really caught off guard by it because they've gotten used to this.

00:43:20.440 They've gotten used to living in a world where no one would, you know, calling out anti-white race hatred was no, you know, it's like, it just never happened, especially on, and so if you were, again, a city council member in Cincinnati, you can say whatever you wanted in that vein because no one would ever call you out for it.

00:43:43.180 And this is the world they grew up in, the world they've lived in.

00:43:46.340 They've gotten very used to it, very accustomed to it, and it's changing.

00:43:52.560 All right, by now we've covered the Sidney Sweeney thing.

00:43:55.320 I think enough has been said about it.

00:43:56.940 Too much has been said about it, frankly, way too much.

00:44:00.700 But the left can't stop.

00:44:06.500 They can't let this go.

00:44:08.120 And it really is remarkable.

00:44:10.280 They can't just move past it.

00:44:13.180 They can't get over the fact that an attractive white woman was featured in an advertisement.

00:44:17.800 And so every day there are more clips, there are more think pieces, there are more rants about how awful and traumatizing all this was.

00:44:24.800 And, you know, we talked yesterday about the Joey Swole thing and how he caved to the cancel mob and apologized in a very pitiful fashion.

00:44:34.420 And I was saying how, you know, the thing, one of the many reasons why you shouldn't apologize to the mob is that the mob gets distracted.

00:44:41.820 They move on quickly.

00:44:42.520 So whatever they're upset about, just give it a day, give it 24 hours, give it 12 hours usually, and they'll have moved on.

00:44:49.860 And that's almost always the case.

00:44:51.360 I said there are very rare exceptions.

00:44:52.760 And this is one of those rare exceptions.

00:44:54.360 Where now we're days and days and days into this, and they're still, like, they're even more upset now about this jeans advertisement than they were when it first happened.

00:45:08.100 This total hysteria.

00:45:11.480 So here's one that went pretty viral, and it's, well, I just have to play it for you.

00:45:16.240 And this will be the last one, I promise.

00:45:18.840 Maybe.

00:45:19.600 We'll see.

00:45:20.800 Probably not.

00:45:21.580 But we'll see.

00:45:22.360 But anyway, listen to this.

00:45:25.080 I really wasn't going to weigh in on this, but here we go.

00:45:27.900 It is so difficult to grow up as a person of color, specifically a woman, and view yourself as beautiful in any sense of the word growing up in this country.

00:45:37.400 I remember growing up in a predominantly white community, wishing myself out of this body, out of this culture.

00:45:43.460 Take my name.

00:45:44.480 If it meant that I could wake up blonde-haired and blue-eyed, never having to explain who I am or worry about being accepted.

00:45:51.660 That is why this American Eagle ad with Sydney Sweeney is especially off-putting.

00:45:56.000 There's a lot of rhetoric right now online about the political ideologies that this represents, and I don't discount that.

00:46:01.660 But for me, I can't help but think about the 13-year-old brown girl who gets all her denim at American Eagle.

00:46:07.020 Who already struggles to see her beauty and worth in a world that continues to value white, Eurocentric beauty standards, which I naively thought by this point we would have moved the needle on.

00:46:17.580 And this girl is now wishing she, too, could wake up with blonde hair and blue eyes.

00:46:22.740 It took me so long, too long, in my life to look in the mirror and see beauty.

00:46:27.500 And I hate that that continues to be a shared experience for young brown girls in this country.

00:46:33.680 Now, first of all, I love how she starts by saying, you know, I wasn't going to weigh in on this, but here we go.

00:46:40.740 As if anyone on the planet was waiting for her input, as if there's a single human being in existence who wants to hear her opinion about anything at all, ever.

00:46:50.980 So nobody's asking for that.

00:46:52.420 Of course, social media is full of the dumbest humans in history making proclamations, issuing their philosophical musings like they're Socrates.

00:46:59.300 People have people who have the stupidest ideas anyone has ever had about anything.

00:47:04.980 And as soon as those stupid ideas pop into their heads, they pull out the phone, start filming themselves, imagining that they're offering deep profundities to the world.

00:47:15.720 Which is basically all of social media.

00:47:18.800 And some would argue this show also.

00:47:21.460 So she says that the Sweeney ad was bad because it made her feel less attractive.

00:47:31.260 And not because Sweeney is attractive, but because Sweeney is white.

00:47:35.000 And these are people who, honest to God, believe that white people should simply not appear in advertisements or be seen on TV.

00:47:44.360 Like we said about Victoria Parks, she's grown so accustomed to anti-white race nature that she takes it for granted.

00:47:49.080 And it's the same thing here.

00:47:51.040 White people have been banished from advertising for so long that people like this woman have just like taken it for granted.

00:47:57.960 They see a white woman in an advertisement and they're shocked.

00:48:01.400 They're offended.

00:48:03.920 A white woman who's not a part of some other victim group.

00:48:07.080 Because, you know, normally they see it for the last years, several years, it's been like I see a white woman pop up in an advertisement.

00:48:16.240 And I know if you're, you know, if you're someone on the left, at first it might make you a little nervous.

00:48:23.800 You're like, what's going on here?

00:48:25.500 But then you'll quickly find out that, oh, this is someone, she's part of some other.

00:48:28.740 Maybe she's, it turns out that she's lesbian or she's overweight or, you know, she has a mental illness.

00:48:36.880 Or, or her, her non-white, you know, maybe a non-white person is about to walk into the, so that you are allowed.

00:48:45.140 And typically, it's not just that you can't have a white woman or an advertisement.

00:48:48.880 That's not the way it, you can have, but it has to be, there has to be someone else who's not white, who, who shows up to balance that out.

00:48:58.240 Um, but what was really shocking for the left with this ad is that, okay, she's a white woman.

00:49:06.240 She's apparently not LGBT.

00:49:08.480 She doesn't have any mental illnesses that we know of.

00:49:10.460 She's not overweight.

00:49:12.240 And so they're watching this ad and they're, and they're getting nervous, but they're like, surely, surely some person of color is going to walk into the, into the frame any moment now.

00:49:21.720 And then the ad ends and it was just this white woman the whole time.

00:49:27.480 And they can't believe it.

00:49:29.980 And they're thinking to themselves, this isn't, this is like a, isn't this an FCC violation?

00:49:34.040 You can't do this.

00:49:36.320 They thought it wasn't allowed.

00:49:37.460 They thought it was like against the law.

00:49:38.560 Which just goes to show how bad it's been.

00:49:41.760 The fact that it's the fact that it's even notable that a white woman is in advertisement, the fact that it's worth talking about at all, much less that it sparked a two week outrage cycle shows you how insane things have been.

00:49:52.460 And now we have women like this on TikTok, you know, claiming that they were traumatized by it.

00:49:57.620 And by the way, she says that the experience of, of, of, of brown girls is that they look in the mirror and they feel inferior or ugly or whatever.

00:50:04.580 And that's all because that's all the fault of Eurocentric beauty standards.

00:50:09.960 And there's a couple of things about that, which first of all, if you're worried about your so-called Eurocentric beauty standards, whatever that means.

00:50:18.080 Then what I don't understand is why aren't you directing your outrage at Beyonce who bleaches her skin and wears blonde wigs and pretends to do country music.

00:50:27.600 Okay, you have a, you have a famous black female iconic artist who's now doing country music in a blonde wig with skin that she has clearly lightened.

00:50:41.640 She's trying to transform herself into a white blonde woman and you're mad at Sydney Sweeney?

00:50:48.340 Sydney Sweeney is a white blonde woman.

00:50:50.320 Okay.

00:50:50.560 She can't help it.

00:50:51.280 That's just, that's who she is.

00:50:54.040 Beyonce is trying to be that.

00:50:55.940 And yet she escapes scrutiny.

00:50:57.600 Second, also, by the way, the experience of looking in the mirror and feeling self-conscious, that is not a brown woman experience.

00:51:09.200 That's not a woman experience.

00:51:10.840 That is a human experience.

00:51:12.960 Okay.

00:51:13.680 So get over yourself.

00:51:15.640 And we've been hearing a lot of this kind of thing, this kind of complaint after the Sydney Sweeney ad about, you don't know what it's like to look, this makes me feel self-conscious.

00:51:23.860 I'm like, oh, shut up.

00:51:25.660 You're not special.

00:51:26.660 All these people who think that their anxieties and insecurities make them special.

00:51:31.340 They don't.

00:51:33.940 They're not, you're not special.

00:51:35.760 You don't know what it's like in my mind.

00:51:37.940 No, I do know.

00:51:40.200 That's called being a person.

00:51:41.660 All right.

00:51:42.020 That's called being a human.

00:51:44.400 You don't know what it's like to grow up and look in the mirror and feel like you're not good enough.

00:51:48.860 Oh, shut up.

00:51:49.600 Oh, you mean, you mean the rest of us don't know what it's like to be a human person in the world?

00:51:56.220 You think, I don't know what that's like.

00:52:00.500 I'm well aware.

00:52:01.220 I'm familiar.

00:52:02.360 I mean, I don't personally obsess over that about myself.

00:52:05.100 Uh, I know I'm kind of ugly, not, not very ugly, but like a six, six out of 10, 5.5 on a bad day.

00:52:11.340 And so I know that sometimes I see clips of myself and they pop up and I'm like, what's, what's wrong with your face?

00:52:18.860 There's something, there's something off.

00:52:20.120 There's something a little off about it, but it's fine.

00:52:21.960 It is what it is.

00:52:22.520 I don't, I don't focus on it.

00:52:23.580 That's the only difference.

00:52:25.140 Uh, it's not worth focusing on.

00:52:27.600 So the point is that insecurity is a, is a human experience.

00:52:30.560 Everybody goes through it.

00:52:31.500 And yet these days you have all these people who truly believe that there's something unique or special about their experience of their, of the, of these utterly commonplace.

00:52:40.580 It's universal human emotions.

00:52:45.680 And I think part of the problem is that so many people these, these days are, are such dumb narcissists that they have no, they, they basically, they have no theory of mind for other people.

00:52:55.500 They have no concept of what being a person generally is like.

00:53:01.720 And you would think that they would because they are people themselves, but they assume that everything they experience is utterly unique and remarkable.

00:53:10.580 When meanwhile, none of it is none of it, their minds are these totally banal places where nothing unique or interesting or distinct ever happens.

00:53:23.660 And so if they have an inkling of an ocean, when they look in the mirror that, Oh, I wish I was more attractive or whatever, they assume that no one has ever had that thought.

00:53:36.020 I'm the only one.

00:53:37.560 No one has ever suffered.

00:53:38.860 I am suffering.

00:53:39.780 Unlike anyone has ever suffered.

00:53:41.120 No one can know my pain.

00:53:45.940 And then of course they go to therapists and they say all this nonsense and, and the therapists just encourage it rather than saying, Oh, get over here.

00:53:53.740 You're boring me to death.

00:53:54.940 Shut up.

00:53:55.460 You're boring me.

00:53:57.160 Come back when you got like an interesting problem that won't make me fall asleep.

00:54:00.600 They don't get that response.

00:54:04.520 And that's part of what happens.

00:54:06.640 And that explains why everyone's mad at Sydney Sweeney.

00:56:47.280 Now let's get to our daily cancellation.

00:56:54.700 If you know anything about Batman lore, which you probably shouldn't,

00:56:59.160 then you know that he doesn't kill anyone.

00:57:01.340 Going back to the 1940s, it's been understood that Batman goes out of his way to preserve human life and animal life.

00:57:06.260 He won't indiscriminately open fire on criminals and innocent bystanders with heavy weaponry,

00:57:11.900 even though it'll be a lot easier most of the time.

00:57:13.560 That's just not how Batman operates.

00:57:14.700 He sneaks in the shadows and takes the pacifist route.

00:57:17.780 The old animated series would use this restriction as a source of comic relief.

00:57:21.700 Instead of stabbing a shark that was about to eat him, for example,

00:57:24.720 Batman asked Robin to toss him some shark-repellent bat spray.

00:57:28.040 Then boom, pal, crisis averted.

00:57:29.360 He would also use batarangs, smoke bombs, various environmental hazards to dispatch his enemies.

00:57:36.920 And it was really bad for the climate, most of it.

00:57:40.040 Yes, Tim Burton's Batman set henchmen on fire, blew people up, threw bad guys off tall buildings.

00:57:45.220 That's true, but every rule has an exception.

00:57:47.260 It's fair to say that in general, particularly in the animated shows,

00:57:49.800 the writers had to get somewhat clever in order to avoid turning Batman into a killer.

00:57:53.580 They had to play with the laws of physics and basic logic a little bit, but they got it done.

00:57:57.680 And that said, as impressive as these old Batman writers were,

00:58:00.660 it becomes clear that the new crop of Batman writers are going to have to be much, much more creative than their predecessors.

00:58:08.820 If the old Batman shows were the equivalent of Apollo 11, the one where we landed on the moon,

00:58:13.560 then the new Batman show is going to be Apollo 13 levels of difficulty.

00:58:17.980 They'll have to fit that square peg into a round hole in the writer's room day in and day out.

00:58:22.240 They'll have to employ every imaginable trick in the book if they want to keep this whole no-kill thing going.

00:58:27.680 In the process, they'll have to rewrite history and constantly insult the viewer's intelligence.

00:58:32.140 And indeed, it appears that that's exactly what they plan on doing.

00:58:35.440 So behold, the first trailer for the upcoming Batman feature film from Warner Brothers.

00:58:42.300 You've heard that wokeness is dead, but I think this trailer will show that reports of its demise may have been premature.

00:58:50.240 Watch this.

00:58:50.720 A wise man told me once, fear can kill you or inspire you to action.

00:59:06.920 My son, when you take my place, it'll be your duty to always be ready for battle.

00:59:12.800 What are those?

00:59:13.860 My hands control the power of destiny.

00:59:22.200 What I want is gold.

00:59:24.620 Impossible.

00:59:25.720 We have strict rules in place that forbid this.

00:59:28.940 Rules are rules.

00:59:35.620 Slaughter them all!

00:59:37.140 Are you all right?

00:59:44.960 Where's your father?

00:59:49.900 I'm going to stop, Cortez.

00:59:51.940 I want you to train me to become the greatest warrior that the world has ever known.

00:59:58.060 Even with all of your training, I still can't defeat them.

01:00:00.780 If only there was somebody who was stealthy.

01:00:10.260 Find that bat and that cat.

01:00:15.960 Put your trust in me.

01:00:19.580 Cortez must stand and face my vengeance.

01:00:23.180 Not vengeance, but through sacrifice.

01:00:26.420 You've been given a sacred mission.

01:00:28.040 Whether you accept it or not, it's the truth.

01:00:40.880 Tell us, war leader.

01:00:42.420 What are your orders?

01:00:46.300 Attack!

01:00:46.780 Attack!

01:00:58.040 Yes, Batman is now an Aztec warrior.

01:01:02.060 Instead of Bruce Wayne, his name is Yohuli Kotul.

01:01:06.080 I don't know.

01:01:07.500 And this time around, his father gets killed by Hernan Cortez, who acts as Two-Face in this rendition,

01:01:12.520 having had half his face scarred during an assassination attempt of some kind.

01:01:16.440 The Joker is also a crazy Aztec priest, evidently.

01:01:19.880 So they're trying to create parallel versions of all the old characters.

01:01:23.160 But at this point, it's not clear exactly how far these parallels will go.

01:01:26.060 And that's an important question that these writers are going to have to resolve.

01:01:29.100 In the original comics, for example, Batman's father was a guy named Dr. Thomas Wayne.

01:01:33.700 He was a very renowned surgeon.

01:01:34.940 I'm telling you all this because I'm an expert on comic book lore.

01:01:38.180 And he made a lot of money, you know, that his surgeon did by cutting people up and fixing them.

01:01:42.480 So how exactly is that going to translate to this new film, Aztec Batman Clash of Empires?

01:01:48.100 One can only speculate.

01:01:49.080 I obviously haven't seen the new film, but we can assume that the father of Yohali Kotal will also be a very famous surgeon.

01:01:58.080 And that makes sense after all.

01:01:59.500 Of course, for the Aztecs, you know, being a famous surgeon meant that you took the heart out, but you didn't put it back in.

01:02:08.420 And that's the slight but very important distinction that needs to be drawn.

01:02:12.980 They weren't, there was no transplant.

01:02:15.060 There was no, they weren't fixing the heart.

01:02:16.740 They would take it out.

01:02:18.860 And then, and that was it.

01:02:20.600 You know, you see, they used a knife to rip the hearts out of their, out of their captives, including children, while they were still beating.

01:02:27.740 And before they would eat them or burn them as an offering to the gods.

01:02:32.840 Other than that, it's, I mean, pretty much a one-to-one parallel.

01:02:35.780 Batman's dad would replace the heart when he was done, and the Aztecs didn't bother with that.

01:02:40.480 So they get half credit at least, and probably good enough.

01:02:43.900 At this point, you're thinking that this is a terrible idea for a film and that no sane person should watch it or would watch it.

01:02:50.460 But I have to say two things.

01:02:52.360 First, you're obviously right.

01:02:53.540 But second, don't overlook the fact that there's a lot of other humor you can draw from this very ill-fated and stupid idea.

01:02:59.800 People are already drawing up storyboards for potential scenes, and here's one of them.

01:03:04.060 We'll put it on the screen.

01:03:05.480 In case you're listening to the audio podcast, the Aztec Joker says,

01:03:08.660 That's right, guano man, I'm holding the T.O. Pixie hostage, and you'll never find him.

01:03:13.360 And Batman responds, You monster, without him, we can't sacrifice enough children to make the sun rise.

01:03:18.020 Then the Joker cackles and says, The children will leave, and there's nothing you can do about it.

01:03:21.400 Now, it's just like that scene where the Joker is threatening to blow up the boats in the Nolan movies, basically.

01:03:28.060 A scene that I hated, by the way.

01:03:29.500 It's a terrible scene.

01:03:30.380 Terrible way to end the film.

01:03:31.540 I've already made that case.

01:03:33.200 But in this case, you have to kind of invert morality, and it fits perfectly.

01:03:37.400 In any event, the bigger point is Aztec Batman is somehow going to avoid killing people,

01:03:42.340 even though the Aztecs were constantly killing everyone, even their own children.

01:03:47.680 So how's that going to work exactly?

01:03:49.140 Presumably, they're going to recast the Conquistadors as cartoon villains.

01:03:53.800 I mean, you can see that in the trailer.

01:03:55.860 Which has become something of a trend lately in third-rate media.

01:03:59.120 There's also currently a game in development where players can play as a lone Aztec warrior

01:04:03.640 who somehow defeats the Conquistadors.

01:04:06.800 And here's what that looks like.

01:04:08.460 A game in the trailer.

01:04:36.340 So the Aztecs might not have any armor or horses or guns or steel swords or lances,

01:04:48.440 but they have this one guy sneaking around, eliminating all the conquistadors one by one.

01:04:54.240 It's obviously supposed to be a power fantasy intended for a mostly Mexican audience,

01:04:58.660 but power fantasies like this don't work when they're based on a very clear historical record,

01:05:02.560 one in which the Aztecs were completely eliminated due to their, among other things, inadequate technology,

01:05:07.860 inadequate the fact that they were living, you know, 3,000 years in the past

01:05:11.980 and were replaced by a far more functional and in every way superior civilization.

01:05:18.740 So either this game involves dying constantly as soon as you start playing,

01:05:22.380 or it's a cruel reminder of how successful the Aztecs could have been

01:05:26.040 if only they hadn't been evil backwards and bloodthirsty.

01:05:29.380 That's the main problem with Aztec Batman as well.

01:05:31.720 The reason that Batman comics and films work in general is that Batman restores order to society.

01:05:38.460 That's why he's easy to cheer for, catches the bank robbers and the murderers

01:05:42.260 and guys in weird masks who detonate bombs in the middle of Heinz Field.

01:05:46.280 And in doing so, Batman allows people to go about their normal productive lives.

01:05:49.300 By contrast, the Aztecs were the single largest impediment to human progress in the 15th century,

01:05:54.000 other than the plague.

01:05:55.400 They were cannibals.

01:05:56.620 They were murderers.

01:05:57.440 They murdered hundreds of thousands of their own people every year.

01:06:01.720 They didn't care about establishing stable governance or trade routes or technological advancement.

01:06:06.660 They were focused single-mindedly on expansion, and the Europeans expanded also.

01:06:12.760 But in this case, the expansion was so that they could acquire more humans to sacrifice.

01:06:17.740 That was the driving motivation was just more people that they could sacrifice to their fate gods.

01:06:27.500 And while the Aztecs were carving up their own children and dancing around like cavemen,

01:06:32.280 Europeans were developing the printing press and building ships instead of canoes

01:06:35.600 and creating great works of literature, achieving breakthroughs in mathematics and science.

01:06:40.840 Therefore, the only people who would root for an Aztec Batman are either completely ignorant of history

01:06:45.120 or they're sociopaths who want the world to revert to barbarism.

01:06:48.000 You know, attacking Cortez by equating him with two-face is particularly idiotic.

01:06:52.580 Cortez was not a schizophrenic district attorney or anything close to one.

01:06:56.480 His story, like the story of the conquistadors, is fascinating and incredible and heroic.

01:07:04.280 These were some of the great heroes of history.

01:07:06.980 With virtually no military experience to speak of and at great personal risk,

01:07:12.540 he went rogue in 1518 and unilaterally decided to secure the interior of Mexico for Spain.

01:07:18.200 He had only about 500 men in total, about a dozen horses, and he landed in Maya territory

01:07:23.720 and ended up taking down the single most powerful Mesoamerican civilization, which is the Aztecs,

01:07:29.940 which had a population of several million people.

01:07:32.600 And he did it with brains, and he did it with force, and he did it with diplomacy.

01:07:37.220 He aligned with the tribes the Aztecs had subjugated and carved up.

01:07:41.200 He won over slaves and natives of the Aztecs, whom he converted to Christianity by the tens of thousands.

01:07:46.680 And then, after introducing order and Christianity to Mexico,

01:07:49.780 he built a major city and established a functioning and far more civilized colonial government.

01:07:55.320 This is a story that most people don't know very much about.

01:07:57.980 That's the only reason why anyone would even consider watching Aztec Batman.

01:08:03.060 They'd have to be completely unaware of basic historical facts,

01:08:06.040 which is why we need to respond to this stuff not just by commenting on it and criticizing it,

01:08:11.640 although we should do that too, and it's easy to do with something as stupid as Aztec Batman.

01:08:17.260 But everything I just outlined, the true history of Cortez and the Conquistadors,

01:08:20.580 which I talked about many times on this show, would make for a ridiculously entertaining show or series.

01:08:26.520 Why hasn't anyone made that yet?

01:08:30.340 Why aren't conservatives funding and creating that kind of content?

01:08:34.060 Why instead have we ceded this genre to Warner Brothers and this insulting, low-effort, slop piece of a Batman film?

01:08:41.160 Those are questions that hopefully will be answered very soon,

01:08:43.620 and along with the question of how exactly Warner Brothers plans to create an Aztec Batman

01:08:47.820 who doesn't kill anyone, even Aztec children.

01:08:49.980 But until we get clarity on those points, as of today,

01:08:54.200 Aztec Batman and everyone cheering the historical revisionism around Cortez and Conquistadors

01:08:58.720 are today canceled.

01:09:02.440 That'll do it for the show today and this week.

01:09:04.540 Talk to you next week.
