The Matt Walsh Show - Ep. 1634 - Leftists Come Up With INSANE Solution To Migrant Crime

00:00:00.000 Today on the Matt Wall Show, Australia imported the third world en masse, and now the country 1.00

00:00:04.120 is plagued by machete-wielding gangs. They come up with a bold way to deal with these problems

00:00:08.600 by asking the gang members to please turn in their machetes. Also, new footage from that

00:00:13.300 mob attack in Cincinnati supposedly reveals that one of the white victims may have possibly said

00:00:17.180 the N-word. Does that change anything about this case? Of course it doesn't. We'll talk about that.

00:00:21.720 Also, feminists on the internet are very mad at me today because I dare to suggest that women 1.00

00:00:25.360 have an obligation to have children. You can't say that. It's an extremely offensive idea.

00:00:29.300 Apparently, it's also obviously true. We'll talk about all that and more today on the Matt Wall Show.

00:00:59.300 How many times have you told someone, if it ain't broke, don't fix it? Now, that's great advice for

00:01:03.340 most things, but not so much for a cell phone. See, over time, the battery life fades, the processor

00:01:07.640 can't keep up, and it's fallen in the toilet one too many times. Fortunately, thanks to PureTalk,

00:01:11.880 your cell phone is something you can replace without feeling guilty at all. When you switch

00:01:53.100 company. It's your talk. In the history of the news business, only a handful of anchors have

00:01:57.480 managed to transcend their craft and become true legends in the industry. I'm talking about the

00:02:01.960 kinds of anchors that people went out of their way to watch or listen to. Edward Murrow was known for

00:02:06.720 his reporting from London during the Blitz in World War II. Walter Cronkite moved people to tears with

00:02:11.420 his coverage of the JFK assassination and the moon landing. Brian Williams made his name by surviving a

00:02:16.400 direct hit from an invisible rocket-propelled grenade in Iraq, which blew his helicopter into a million

00:02:20.800 invisible pieces. Today, I'm going to predict the next name that will be added to this extremely

00:02:26.240 prestigious list of news anchors, and that name is Peter Hitchener. Now, you've maybe never heard of

00:02:32.360 Peter Hitchener, especially if you don't live in Australia, but if there's any justice in the world,

00:02:36.640 that's all about the change. Yes, 79-year-old Peter Hitchener has something like 60 years of news

00:02:41.620 broadcasting experience, but in just the last two months, he's managed to carve out his own unique

00:02:46.600 area of expertise, as all great news anchors do. He's become must-see TV because of his relentless

00:02:52.880 coverage of a particular issue. You see, in the 1960s, when Americans wanted to hear the latest

00:02:58.060 news from the Apollo program, they couldn't wait to tune in to Walter Cronkite's broadcast.

00:03:02.800 And today, in exactly the same way, when Australians want to hear about the latest brutal machete attack

00:03:08.300 by foreigners in their country, they know there's one man they can turn to, Peter Hitchener.

00:03:12.740 That's right. Machete attacks are now so common in Australia that machete attacks now qualify as a

00:03:18.240 distinct beat in Australian journalism. And it's a very competitive beat, one that Hitchener is

00:03:23.020 frankly dominating, if we're being honest. No one else even comes remotely close. So here's just a

00:03:27.200 sampling of Hitchener's coverage in the past few weeks. Keep in mind, as you watch, that all these

00:03:31.440 clips are indeed completely separate reports about completely separate incidents in Australia. Watch.

00:03:37.140 Shoppers have run for their lives as a wild brawl erupted between gangs with machetes inside

00:03:44.040 Northland. The incident sent the shopping centre into lockdown. Terrified customers hiding inside

00:03:49.920 stores until given the all clear. Olly Haig begins our coverage.

00:03:55.140 Machete terror inside one of Melbourne's busiest shopping centres. A man with a huge blade facing

00:04:01.040 off with two others inside Northland. The Sunday afternoon shoppers, some carrying their children,

00:04:06.540 run for their lives. A shopper whose trip to the pharmacy ended in a shocking machete attack

00:04:12.780 has told of his terrifying ordeal. Doctors have been battling to save his hand after it is almost

00:04:18.980 severed outside an Altona Meadows shopping centre. He's told Jack Ward his life will never be the same

00:04:25.060 again. Sarubanad is a broken man. My hand and my arm was literally hanging by a thread. He was attacked

00:04:32.380 by a gang armed with a machete and thought he would die. There was a lot of blood around me. My

00:04:37.920 clothes were completely trenched off blood. Good evening. A Caroline Springs shopping centre has

00:04:42.440 been forced into lockdown after a brawl broke out between machete-wielding teens. As Julia Passarelli

00:04:48.940 reports, it comes after the Victorian government banned the sale of the weapons. Inside a suburban

00:04:55.720 shopping centre, violence erupts. Machete-wielding teens clash in Caroline Springs as workers scramble

00:05:06.660 to shut their doors to protect themselves from harm. As the search continues for the people who killed a

00:05:12.660 young man in Lyndhurst, the government is being asked why the machete ban will take six months to

00:05:18.480 enforce. The opposition says the ousted chief commissioner recommended the change a year ago.

00:05:23.540 Crime reporter Gillian Lantouris. Bouquets of flowers marking another victim of Victoria's

00:05:31.040 machete crisis. A 24-year-old man was stabbed to death in a Lyndhurst car park on Friday night.

00:05:37.900 The offenders are believed to be linked to a violent armed robbery in Baronia an hour earlier.

00:05:43.600 There are a lot of news outlets that will auto-generate articles about earthquakes just a few seconds

00:05:48.200 after they're detected. They automatically plug the magnitude and location information into a

00:05:52.640 pre-written template and then publish it. At this rate, we're probably going to see the same thing

00:05:57.020 with machete attacks in Australia. Hitchener won't even have to go to work. Australians would just get 0.78

00:06:02.820 the latest machete attack information along with their daily weather report. And in any event, before

00:06:08.700 we take a closer look at some of these incidents, it needs to be said that Peter Hitchener, as talented as

00:06:13.580 he is, isn't capable of covering every single machete attack in Australia. There are simply too many of

00:06:18.760 them. So here's an Australian machete attack that he missed. This one took place in a McDonald's

00:06:24.140 back in May. Watch. A shocking vision out of Melbourne of another alleged machete attack just

00:06:30.320 days after a landmark ban of the weapon. Yeah, these pictures taken from inside a bathroom at

00:06:35.160 McDonald's in Trugger Niner. One child appearing to have a weapon pressed against his throat. Police have

00:06:41.620 since arrested and charged one of the accused teenagers, but this morning he is out on bail. Footage has

00:06:48.260 emerged of a 15 year old boy being threatened with a machete in a McDonald's toilet. At one point,

00:06:53.800 the knife is held to his throat as he's ordered to get down. The vision shows another victim being

00:06:58.880 punched while on the ground. The offenders appear to be in school uniforms. One of the fathers of the

00:07:04.420 alleged perpetrators has spoken out saying he doesn't think his son will face any real consequences

00:07:09.340 over this, facing the labelling the juvenile justice system as ineffective. And for good measure,

00:07:15.600 here's another machete attack from a patrol station, as they call it in that part of the

00:07:20.520 world, back in June. A teenager has been ambushed in a terrifying machete attack in Melbourne's

00:07:27.640 northeast. He arrived at a service station to fill up but was set upon within seconds of getting out

00:07:33.340 of his vehicle. A late night fuel stop that turned violent in a matter of seconds.

00:07:44.220 A passenger inside this Holden ambushed by two armed thugs at Doreen's United petrol station just

00:07:51.640 before 10 last night. The victim was slashed on the arm with a machete almost two weeks after the

00:08:00.620 sale of the weapon was outlawed in Victoria. The victim fled to this McDonald's, which is just 100

00:08:06.560 metres from the service station. Shocked witnesses called paramedics who took him to the northern

00:08:11.860 hospital in a serious condition. The offenders fled within minutes of the attack.

00:08:17.680 Seeing all these reports, a reasonable person might ask, what exactly is the root cause of the

00:08:26.140 problem here? Who are these teens and males who are wielding machetes? What are their ethnicities?

00:08:32.840 Where are the fathers? No one else in Australia's mainstream media, including even the great Peter

00:08:38.400 Hitchener, is allowed to ask any of these questions. Instead, they're compelled to report endlessly, 0.76

00:08:42.540 day after day, about yet another brutal machete attack that's been committed by

00:08:47.320 nondescript wayward youths and rowdy teens. Even after the government banned the act of attacking

00:08:54.220 someone with a machete and then banned the act of possessing a machete at all, somehow the attacks have

00:08:59.400 continued. So they're hopelessly confused about how to proceed here. But Australia's government has not

00:09:06.260 remained completely passive in the face of this onslaught of machete violence. They have formulated a

00:09:11.780 plan, I'm happy to report. Now, granted, it's the worst plan they could have possibly conceived, but it

00:09:16.320 is a plan nonetheless. Specifically, Australia's government has decided to politely ask machete

00:09:21.380 attackers to hand over their weapons. And they can do that by dropping machetes in the nearest machete

00:09:28.000 collection box. Watch. Outside the Victoria Police headquarters on Spencer Street, a purpose-built

00:09:35.320 bin for a weapon wreaking havoc. This is very important. Those knives, those machetes create

00:09:42.400 enormous damage. Come September 1, it will be illegal to own a machete. And this is where Victorians are 1.00

00:09:48.840 being asked to drop them off during an amnesty period that will run until November 30. We've done this

00:09:54.980 because we want to get these knives off the streets because these knives destroy life. On the 1st of

00:10:00.520 September, when the ban on machetes takes place, we are rolling out through Victoria Police at 24-7

00:10:06.980 police stations, the safe disposal bins. These will be at locations right across the state.

00:10:13.540 They'll be locations where people can come and lawfully dispose of any machete that they may already

00:10:19.080 have. So this is the solution that they've arrived upon after a series of machete attacks that have

00:10:24.740 terrorized tens of thousands of people. They're just going to ask the criminals to surrender their

00:10:29.540 machetes in a giant machete box, as if the only thing causing them to kill people with machetes is

00:10:36.200 the fact that getting rid of the machete hasn't been convenient enough. The machete attackers have

00:10:40.760 all said to themselves, gee, you know, I'd really like to stop butchering people with machetes, but

00:10:43.720 unfortunately, there's no convenient disposal location for my murder weapon. I guess I'll have

00:10:48.920 to keep macheteing people. Now, the obvious parallel here is with gun buybacks, which don't work either,

00:10:55.540 by the way. In 2008, more than a decade after Australia banned most firearms, researchers at the

00:11:00.980 University of Melbourne looked into the country's gun buyback program, and they found, quote,

00:11:06.380 the evidence so far suggests that in the Australian context, the high expenditure incurred to fund the

00:11:11.080 1996 gun buyback has not translated into any tangible reductions in terms of firearm deaths.

00:11:18.680 It turns out that only law-abiding gun owners were handing in their guns. Who could have possibly

00:11:24.420 predicted that? And of course, we see the same thing at gun buybacks in the United States. As of 2020,

00:11:30.460 in the U.S., the firearm homicide rate for young black males was more than 20 times higher than it

00:11:35.120 was for white males of the same age, but young black males are not handing in their guns. As the 0.89

00:11:41.520 research organization RAND has reported, citing dozens of surveys and studies, quote, the majority of

00:11:46.640 participants in gun buybacks were older white men. Seventy-five percent of the gun buybacks were

00:11:52.700 a small caliber compared with 24 percent of guns used in homicides and 32 percent of those used in

00:11:58.620 suicides. Additionally, quote, the number of guns turned into buybacks represent a tiny fraction of

00:12:04.080 firearms in any community. Significant proportions of firearms turned into buyback programs were not in

00:12:09.480 working condition or were older than guns typically used in crimes. Nearly one quarter of survey

00:12:14.140 respondents in Sacramento, California, reported that the firearm they turned in during a gun buyback

00:12:18.180 event was not in working order, with an additional 24 percent reporting that they were unsure whether

00:12:22.920 the firearm was operational. Now, most of these people handed in their guns, which many of them

00:12:28.280 were broken anyway, so they could receive a gift card or some other form of compensation from the state.

00:12:32.980 But in Australia, they're not even offering any incentive for these machetes.

00:12:37.100 Not even a coupon to McDonald's or anything. They're just asking the criminals to hand over their

00:12:42.360 weapons. And that's raising concern that if anyone does actually drop off a machete for some reason,

00:12:48.880 well, criminals will just take the machetes from the giant machete bin that they're now leaving in

00:12:55.680 the middle of cities. Watch.

00:12:58.640 Dozens of police stations in prominent crime hotspots will soon be home to new machete amnesty bins.

00:13:05.800 It's part of a plan to get the deadly blades off our streets, but critics say it's unlikely to work

00:13:12.520 and may even backfire.

00:13:14.580 We need to give them some kind of carrot rather than just focusing on the stick.

00:13:18.680 Having them out the front, you're not actually sending any message that it's okay to drop them off.

00:13:22.960 The Les Twentyman Foundation ran its own successful knife buyback program in 2006.

00:13:29.140 We did that through having an engagement with a young person and they exchanged a knife with for

00:13:33.160 some kind of incentive, so a movie ticket or a ticket to the footy.

00:13:36.800 The state government is hoping its program will be as successful as Australia's gun amnesty in 1996.

00:13:43.960 There are also concerns that the bins themselves will be targeted by criminals,

00:13:48.380 but youth foundations say it's more likely they'll sit empty for the full three months.

00:13:54.000 Well, if the program remains the same at the moment, then I don't think they're going to have

00:13:57.280 many blades in them, unfortunately.

00:13:58.800 Notice in that report that they said Australia's gun amnesty had been successful, but that's

00:14:05.160 not true.

00:14:05.700 Banning guns has not solved Australia's violent crime problem, as we can clearly see.

00:14:10.320 In fact, it didn't even solve the problem with firearms.

00:14:13.240 Quoting again from the University of Melbourne, the 1996-97 National Firearms Agreement in

00:14:17.320 Australia introduced strict gun laws, but using a battery of structural brake tests, there

00:14:22.260 is little evidence to suggest that it had any significant effects on firearm homicides and suicides.

00:14:27.560 Close quote.

00:14:28.040 To the extent that the rate of firearm use has declined in Australia, the researchers found

00:14:32.020 that it was already declining well before the gun ban went into effect.

00:14:36.960 And on top of that, as we can see clearly, criminals have not stopped committing violent

00:14:41.360 crimes in Australia because of the firearms ban.

00:14:43.740 They're happy to use machetes instead of guns, and now, thanks to the firearm ban, the victims

00:14:48.700 are completely helpless.

00:14:51.140 No one in those malls can shoot the attacker.

00:14:54.060 I guess they'd have to have their own machete, get into like a swashbuckling sword fight with

00:14:59.880 the attacker in the middle of the shopping mall.

00:15:03.380 But they don't do that, so they have to wait for the police, who take roughly 30 minutes to

00:15:07.400 arrive in one of these attacks.

00:15:09.940 Yes, people spend a full half hour in panic as gangs attack people with machetes.

00:15:14.620 Of course, even if you somehow manage to ban machetes, which is practically impossible,

00:15:19.560 just like a gun ban, then they'll move on to some other instrument of violence.

00:15:24.840 I mean, you can't stop violence by reactively banning the objects people use to commit it.

00:15:30.940 Primitive societies, despite what you may have been told, were far more violent, far more

00:15:36.160 violent than our own.

00:15:37.180 And all they had were sticks and stones.

00:15:40.720 Are we going to ban those next?

00:15:43.620 What's left unsaid in all these news reports is that Australians have had legal access to

00:15:48.560 machetes for centuries without any issue whatsoever.

00:15:53.400 It was only when Australia began importing the third world en masse that machetes suddenly 1.00

00:15:59.280 became weapons of mass terror.

00:16:01.000 So let's go back to one of those 500 news reports that I had played at the beginning of

00:16:04.640 this segment and see if you notice anything about the coverage of mall attack number two.

00:16:11.380 I feel so scared, like my heartbeat go, because I just quickly go and shut the cafe and tell

00:16:17.820 my other staff, don't go leave.

00:16:19.520 They just pulled out from their back, their backpack, and then a long knife, like musty,

00:16:24.660 and then they're just fighting.

00:16:26.720 I can't believe it happened.

00:16:28.920 Shoppers also caught up in the chaos just after 6.30 last night.

00:16:33.440 We're going into lockdown because someone has a machete.

00:16:36.580 Now we are under the lockdown procedure.

00:16:39.520 Please shut down the show doors.

00:16:41.220 Up to six boys were involved in the brawl.

00:16:43.800 They all fled before police arrived.

00:16:46.600 They were in and they were out very, very promptly.

00:16:50.180 I was extremely terrified.

00:16:52.020 They all were like with the same attire, black, and covering the face.

00:16:56.180 Can't recognise who they are.

00:16:57.500 This comes less than two weeks after rival gangs fought inside Northland Shopping Centre.

00:17:03.160 Seven people have been charged over that incident.

00:17:06.960 It's pretty remarkable.

00:17:08.200 I was shocked watching this.

00:17:10.100 As jaded as I am, you think I can't be shocked by this anymore.

00:17:13.780 But when you watch it, if not for the accent of the news reporter, you would never know that it's a news report from Australia.

00:17:22.480 Almost every person interviewed or even just seen on camera is an immigrant.

00:17:27.200 Even the voiceover, the intercom, telling the store owners to go into lockdown is clearly foreign. 0.99

00:17:34.260 If you had to guess without any context, if I showed you that video, it would give you no context.

00:17:38.200 You couldn't hear the reporter.

00:17:40.560 And I were to ask you to guess what country is this from?

00:17:43.160 You would think it was from India or some other South Asian country.

00:17:47.140 Now, this is a transformation that's been underway for a very long time, but it's accelerated recently.

00:17:51.180 Jordan Knight with the Claremont Institute has outlined the deliberate process that's led to the breakdown of law and order in Australia.

00:17:58.160 In September 2022, some of the most prominent academics and political leaders in Australia, including the prime minister and the immigration minister,

00:18:04.920 gathered for a meeting to address what they called a skills crisis in the country post-COVID.

00:18:12.740 The agenda for the meeting was to assess, quote,

00:18:14.900 the role of skilled migration in resolving the current skills and labor shortage crisis.

00:18:19.560 And ultimately, the group concluded that the migration ceiling should be increased to nearly 200,000 and visa and work restrictions should be relaxed across the board.

00:18:28.660 In other words, they encouraged fraud.

00:18:31.260 And very quickly, a visa backlog of more than 3 million had been reduced by nearly 500,000 applicants.

00:18:38.320 The number of foreign nationals on student visas exploded.

00:18:42.180 You can see the surge there in terms of net student visa arrivals.

00:18:47.340 Those are levels that Australia hasn't seen in decades.

00:18:49.220 Meanwhile, as hundreds of thousands of foreigners streamed in, look what happened to housing costs. 1.00

00:18:54.960 Predictably, rents are increasingly at historic levels.

00:18:58.120 Millions of Australians can't afford a place to live.

00:19:01.060 And of course, along with rent, the cost of basic essentials like groceries increased as well.

00:19:05.720 That's generally what happens when there's a sudden surge of demand.

00:19:08.400 In Australia, a country of around 27 million people, net overseas migration for 23 to 24 was estimated at roughly 550,000, far exceeding the government's own estimates by more than 100,000 people.

00:19:21.080 Again, nothing like this has happened in generations.

00:19:24.660 You can see the massive swing right at the end of this chart.

00:19:27.220 It's an unsustainable trend.

00:19:29.460 One that the government in Australia deliberately enacted.

00:19:31.860 Instead of getting skilled labor, they've lowered the quality of life for everyone living in the country.

00:19:38.600 For Australians, in practical terms, that means a lot more news coverage of teens and youths terrorizing the local mall.

00:19:46.820 It also means more scenes like this one.

00:19:49.100 That's from last month when thousands of Muslims surrounded St. Patrick's Cathedral in Melbourne.

00:19:55.080 And when this footage went viral, the response was, well, it was peaceful and part of some Islamic tradition.

00:20:00.780 So what's the big deal?

00:20:02.860 Any intimidation was purely accidental, in other words.

00:20:06.860 Well, the big deal is that as controversial as this apparently is to say, Australia should not look like Pakistan.

00:20:13.980 Okay, it was once a functioning Western nation.

00:20:18.200 And in a very short period of time, Australia's leaders have effectively erased its national sovereignty.

00:20:24.140 Just the other day, there was yet another rally that, if you didn't know any better, looks like a scene out of the Middle East. 0.69

00:20:29.100 Now, only a nation in complete denial would look at these images, these news reports, these statistics,

00:20:34.240 and conclude that the machetes are the problem.

00:20:39.180 Australia is refusing to acknowledge what everyone can clearly see.

00:20:42.160 It is pathological, almost comical.

00:20:45.140 Like Canada and the UK, Australia has deliberately transformed into a colony of the third world, 0.99

00:20:50.400 to the point that the next time someone tries to make the case that we don't really need to enforce immigration laws as rigorously as possible here,

00:20:57.100 or that the Second Amendment isn't vital for our country's survival,

00:21:01.100 you don't really need to say anything in response.

00:21:03.660 You just tell them to tune in to Australia's nightly newscasts for a couple of weeks.

00:21:08.040 See if they can count the number of machete attacks.

00:21:10.240 Okay.

00:21:12.160 And that should settle the debate.

00:21:13.580 And if it doesn't, then you know you're talking to someone who, like the leaders of Australia,

00:21:18.920 desperately want the West to fail.

00:21:22.260 Now let's get to our five headlines.

00:21:23.580 This is unconstitutional.

00:21:32.000 Sound familiar?

00:21:32.660 Well, of course it does.

00:21:33.540 Every pundit, podcaster, and YouTube expert throws this phrase around like confetti at a New Year's party.

00:21:37.840 But here's a wild thought.

00:21:39.100 Instead of just nodding along with whatever hot take crossed your feed this morning,

00:21:42.400 have you ever actually cracked open the Constitution yourself?

00:21:45.700 You know, that dusty old document everyone claims to be defending, but apparently nobody has time to read.

00:21:49.820 That's why I'm thrilled that Hillsdale College is offering a brand new free online course called The Federalist.

00:21:56.300 The Federalist papers were written primarily by Alexander Hamilton and James Madison to explain how our Constitution creates a government strong enough to protect your rights,

00:22:03.680 but safe enough not to trample them.

00:22:05.220 The founders knew we'd need to stay vigilant to preserve Republican self-government, and that responsibility falls on us today.

00:22:12.680 I personally love that Hillsdale's course breaks it all down in 10 digestible 30-minute lectures that you can take at your own pace,

00:22:20.260 which comes in handy for those of us with busy schedules.

00:22:22.980 It's completely free, definitely worth your time.

00:22:25.240 Plus, they've got over 40 other free courses covering everything from C.S. Lewis to Roman history to ancient Christianity.

00:22:31.580 Not bad for the price of, well, absolutely nothing.

00:24:13.180 We've been following this story in Cincinnati very closely, the story of the anti-white mob attack.

00:24:20.380 There's been a number of attempts to find some way to blame this on the white victims.

00:24:26.800 Over the weekend, there were some videos going viral of what happened leading up to the vicious assaults that we all saw.

00:24:32.300 The people sharing the videos claimed that they proved that the one white guy hit first, and really this was all his fault.

00:24:39.340 But if you watch the video with your eyes actually open, you see the opposite.

00:24:43.380 And we don't need to play very much of this because you see in the first—just—we'll play it.

00:24:47.500 What do you see in the first three seconds of this video?

00:24:52.320 Watch.

00:25:01.920 Okay, so we gave you the first 10 seconds of the video, which is more than enough because in the first three seconds, you see the black guy swing on the white guy. 0.78

00:25:13.160 So, I mean, it's right there.

00:25:16.280 And yet race hustlers on social media are just flat-out lying.

00:25:19.460 These people lie like they—like they, you know, they don't even know they're lying anymore.

00:25:23.720 They lie like they breathe, trying to convince us somehow the video I just played proves that the white guy started it.

00:25:29.820 Now, there's obviously stuff that happened before even that video started, but all the videos that we see, you know, it all stacks up a certain way.

00:25:40.800 Which, by the way, even if he did start it, that would not just—and this should not need to be said, but apparently it does need to be said—that that would not justify jumping multiple—like multiple people jumping one person and attacking him and pummeling him while he was on the ground.

00:25:56.220 Not to mention inflicting severe brain damage on the woman who was also assaulted and didn't hit anybody.

00:26:04.760 You know, there is such a thing as fighting honorably.

00:26:08.480 There's such a thing as honor in general, like to be an honorable person that matters.

00:26:13.740 And we've moved away from that in society to a large extent.

00:26:19.620 And now you have a lot of people that the concept is like foreign to them.

00:26:22.640 But you can't have a functioning society when there's no concept of honor, being an honorable person.

00:26:28.660 This is not some, right, academic concept or some just sentimental nonsense.

00:26:36.120 You cannot have a functioning society without honor, without a sense of honor.

00:26:40.180 And even—and that used to be widely understood, even in a fight.

00:26:46.660 You know, because I'm not one of these people that says, oh, well, violence is never the answer.

00:26:50.000 You should never get into a fight.

00:26:51.120 Violence can be an answer sometimes.

00:26:53.720 Unless you're, you know, a radical peacenik and you think that war is always wrong and there's never—self-defense even is wrong.

00:27:00.960 Unless you're one of those people, then you know that, you know, sometimes violence is the answer.

00:27:05.340 Or it's maybe not an ideal answer, but it's the only answer available.

00:27:09.260 That's true, and violence can be justified. 1.00

00:27:14.100 And I wouldn't even say that, you know, violence can only be justified morally if someone hits you first.

00:27:23.480 Right?

00:27:23.940 If you're walking down the street with your wife or something and someone comes up and accosts your wife in some way,

00:27:30.960 then as a man you're perfectly morally justified in responding in a violent way to that, I believe.

00:27:35.620 But, you know, in terms of self-preservation these days, it probably will come back to bite you.

00:27:45.420 But is it morally justified?

00:27:46.960 Yeah.

00:27:48.380 So, but in a fight, when a fight happens—and this whole thing is being called a fight.

00:27:54.880 You know, local officials have called it a fight.

00:27:56.440 The media has called it a fight.

00:27:57.220 This is not a fight.

00:27:57.920 If somebody smacks you in the face and you feel the need to respond physically,

00:28:04.560 the honorable thing is to face him man-to-man, one-on-one.

00:28:10.400 And when he's on the ground, you've won the fight.

00:28:13.860 Stomping on his head is not only attempted murder, but also it's dishonorable, cowardly behavior.

00:28:20.020 Stomping a guy when he's on the ground is despicable, dishonorable, cowardly behavior.

00:28:23.740 Ganging up on someone should be like an embarrassing thing to do.

00:28:28.280 You got a problem with this guy?

00:28:29.780 You got a problem with just him?

00:28:31.460 You're the one with a problem with him?

00:28:33.140 Well, then square—if you feel like you need to, square up with him and settle it like men. 0.98

00:28:38.940 Swarm him with multiple people?

00:28:40.240 There's no honor in that.

00:28:42.800 That's dishonorable, savage, despicable, cowardly behavior.

00:28:47.200 But really, all that is academic anyway, because this guy did not start it.

00:28:50.700 He was not the first to throw a punch, as you can see.

00:28:52.980 And then came an even more desperate attempt to justify this assault.

00:28:57.860 Claims began circulating, which, you know, I predicted this, and I'm not the only one.

00:29:02.440 A lot of people predicted this, that what's going to happen is they're going to start telling you,

00:29:05.640 oh, someone said a racial slur. 0.66

00:29:07.900 And that's always just assumed.

00:29:11.060 The same thing was assumed.

00:29:12.240 You hear this claim about Austin Metcalf.

00:29:15.140 There are still people who just make that claim flat out, as if it's a fact on social media.

00:29:19.660 Well, he said a racial slur.

00:29:21.600 No, he didn't.

00:29:22.380 There's no evidence of that.

00:29:23.540 No one's even claimed that.

00:29:24.660 You're just making that up.

00:29:25.920 And so the claims began circulating that someone shouted the N-word during this whole incident.

00:29:34.040 And the defense attorneys for one of the assailants has made this claim, as if it's a defense.

00:29:41.120 This is the defense they're going to go with, very predictably.

00:29:45.440 Over the weekend, Fox News posted this.

00:29:47.240 New video.

00:29:47.960 The N-word was shouted during the violent Cincinnati beatdown.

00:29:50.760 New footage shows.

00:29:51.920 It's unclear who said it and to whom it was directed.

00:29:54.000 Now, I'm not going to bother playing the video because the word is bleeped.

00:29:58.520 And the person who says it, whoever says it, is not clearly visible on camera.

00:30:02.500 So, I mean, it would be useless to play it.

00:30:04.140 You can't tell anything from the video.

00:30:05.760 Really nothing to learn from the video.

00:30:07.620 It's not clear who says it.

00:30:09.000 It's not clear if the person who said it is even white or who it was said to.

00:30:12.680 And also, it was said by whoever said it after the assault had already taken place.

00:30:18.240 So, using it as a justification for the assault is clearly nonsensical.

00:30:24.000 Unless the assailants were like time jumpers.

00:30:28.680 They skipped ahead in time and knew that they would be called the N-word.

00:30:32.100 So, they attacked preemptively.

00:30:35.700 But, of course, the reason they were called the N-word, if they were called it, is because they attacked.

00:30:39.740 So, this becomes sort of a self-fulfilling process.

00:30:41.460 It's like it's a paradox.

00:30:42.460 One of those paradoxes of time travel.

00:30:44.080 The N-word paradox of time travel, as maybe we'll call it.

00:30:49.540 But, let's leave the timeline entirely aside for the moment.

00:30:53.040 Just for the sake of argument, let's pretend that we knew one of the white people said the word.

00:30:57.900 And let's pretend that it happened before the assault.

00:31:00.960 Would that change anything?

00:31:02.420 No, obviously it would not change anything.

00:31:04.240 You are not justified or excused in physically assaulting someone just because they said a word you don't like.

00:31:08.880 Like, this is, and I say that as someone who just said a few minutes ago that I, it's not my view that there could never be a thing someone could say to you or say in your presence that would justify a violent response.

00:31:25.760 Someone to cost your wife, your children, is harassing them or something.

00:31:29.040 Then, I think, again, perfectly morally justified.

00:31:31.780 Not that I'm recommending it on illegal grounds, but morally justified.

00:31:34.840 But, someone just saying a word you don't like, no, that doesn't justify it.

00:31:40.720 And, but we've let this idea, especially when it's a word that we hear 10 million times a day.

00:31:47.500 Especially when it's a word that's been utterly, totally normalized.

00:31:51.060 You know, especially in that case.

00:31:53.040 So, we've let this idea fester for decades that this one particular word, this magical word, belongs in some kind of category unto itself.

00:32:03.060 And, if the word is uttered, uttered by somebody with the wrong skin tone, specifically, then all the laws of human decency and basic common sense, the actual laws also against assault and murder, should all be suspended.

00:32:14.680 This is the dynamic that's existed in our culture for a very long time.

00:32:17.340 And, it's rooted in a broader idea, which we find all throughout the culture, which is that a person's subjective emotional experience is more true, is more real than reality itself.

00:32:28.980 What matters is not what actually happened, but what a person, a person in a protected group, rather, feels happens.

00:32:38.900 Or, or how they, or how they feel about, about what happened.

00:32:43.320 And, with this word, the idea is that a black person's subjective emotional experience of hearing the word is so distressing and so painful that the word itself is effectively no longer just a word.

00:32:51.700 But, it's morally equivalent to physically assaulting somebody or trying to kill them.

00:32:58.780 And, and so, so, there could be a violent response to the word and it's sort of like effectively self-defense because he's defending himself against the emotional annihilation that the word might cause.

00:33:10.340 This is, this is the idea.

00:33:12.340 Um, but, it, and it's, you know, it's, uh, completely ridiculous.

00:33:19.860 Your emotional reaction to something does not get to define what the thing is.

00:33:25.520 The word is just a word.

00:33:27.200 It doesn't matter if you feel that it's more than a word.

00:33:30.100 It isn't.

00:33:31.760 It's a word.

00:33:33.100 And, that's all.

00:33:36.300 Uh, let's see.

00:33:37.260 The Democrat, this is from Post Millennial.

00:33:38.460 You know, Democratic Socialists of America recently published a panel discussion from its annual Socialism Conference that featured open calls for the abolition of the nuclear family and traditional family structure in the U.S.

00:33:49.200 The panel titled The Left and the Family, a roundtable, took place on July 4th and was part of the Socialism Conference in Chicago.

00:33:56.460 The video was uploaded to YouTube on Friday and DSA wrote in the caption that the nuclear family is an inherently repressive, racist, and heterosexist institution that functionally reinforces and reproduces capitalism.

00:34:06.840 Um, well, rather than reading about it, I'll play some of the, uh, highlights that Post Millennial provided in their article.

00:34:15.680 So, here are some of the highlights from this, uh, socialism event.

00:34:19.000 Here it is.

00:34:19.360 And, uh, on that revolutionary horizon, want to perform abortions in a church, you know, before it's all said and done.

00:34:27.300 The only real difference between marriage and prostitution is the price and the duration of the contract.

00:34:32.840 We can fight for family abolition. 0.92

00:34:34.740 We can imagine family abolition because we have seen black women do it. 1.00

00:34:39.360 Because we have seen these, like, indigenous communities do it. 0.70

00:34:43.300 But, you know, it is, to me, it is the, the institution of marriage can only exist alongside the criminalization of sex workers.

00:34:51.260 Children whose parents are unable to provide either housing, food, or safety are treated as if they have committed a crime.

00:34:58.340 So, kids themselves are treated as if they have committed a crime if they're not born into a family that can support them.

00:35:05.580 In addition to abolition of family policing, you argue for abolition of the family in general, uh, and say that the institution of the family acts as part of the carceral system in the way that it reinforces children as property.

00:35:18.880 I think the left is constantly surprised at how few people are, um, you know, ready for revolt, despite, you know, the extremely dire conditions that we're in that keep becoming more and more dire every day.

00:35:33.360 Women and children are the most harmed by capitalism, but also women and children are the architects of their fate.

00:35:40.320 So, when we talk about family abolition, that's what we're talking about.

00:35:43.300 We're talking about the abolition of that economic unit.

00:35:46.280 When we, for me, that liberatory horizon is to say it is a horizon in which kinship and care are, um, like, in which all of our material needs are taken care of by the collective.

00:35:58.900 Um, the, uh, sex work, the criminalization of sex work is like the dark underbelly of the, um, of the sanctified, reified, and, and, and legally, like, like, like enforced, um, institution of exchanging your bodily autonomy and, and, and your sexuality for economic security.

00:36:20.220 I don't think they, one can exist without the other.

00:36:22.520 Okay, so that's a whole lot of insane nonsense, but, um, this is what so-called democratic socialists are all about.

00:36:30.720 And remember, the guy who's about to be the next mayor of our largest city in New York, Zoran Mamdani, is a democratic socialist.

00:36:37.980 This is his ideology.

00:36:38.980 This is his belief system.

00:36:39.900 So, we can't just write it off as this fringe, radical thing, some sort of aberration.

00:36:43.460 It's not that.

00:36:44.740 This, this is what they believe.

00:36:46.200 And it really highlights a point that, um, I want to make, which is that, you know, what are all these socialists railing against?

00:36:59.580 What are they always railing against?

00:37:01.900 What do they hate the most?

00:37:03.780 The family, the nuclear family, mom, dad, children.

00:37:07.540 That's what they hate.

00:37:08.720 That's their enemy.

00:37:10.180 Um, that's the thing that they have been working to destroy.

00:37:12.860 And this, to me, is the dividing line.

00:37:16.680 This is the pivotal point.

00:37:17.980 The centerpiece of, of everything is the family.

00:37:22.020 And the dividing line in our culture war, our, our political battles and our cultural battles, the dividing line is the family.

00:37:30.840 On one side, you have those who defend the family and seek to preserve it and promote it and celebrate it.

00:37:36.300 And on the other, you have those who want to destroy it or abandon it or subvert it or give up on it or surrender it.

00:37:45.500 Those are the two sides, really.

00:37:46.920 And if you're on the side of subversion and abandonment, then you are the enemy.

00:37:53.640 You're my enemy.

00:37:54.700 You're, you're the enemy.

00:37:56.600 I want nothing to do with you.

00:37:58.080 We're not on the same side.

00:38:00.960 Right?

00:38:01.340 I don't care what else we agree on.

00:38:02.760 I don't care.

00:38:03.960 We could agree on every other issue.

00:38:06.760 But if you are not a defender of the family, then we're not on the same side.

00:38:10.240 I want absolutely nothing to do with you.

00:38:13.780 And I want to make that point because the fact is, you know, there are some people on the right, supposedly on the right, who are, and this is an increasing problem, I think, these people who are basically anti-family.

00:38:25.240 They're against marriage.

00:38:26.840 They're against family life.

00:38:29.420 They have nothing but negative things to say about it.

00:38:32.660 They despise men who get married.

00:38:35.280 They think that getting married is like selling out, simping, or whatever.

00:38:41.560 And, and those people are just like the people we saw in the video.

00:38:44.680 I mean, they're no better.

00:38:45.340 In fact, they're worse.

00:38:47.640 They're worse because they should know better.

00:38:50.760 They're certainly no better.

00:38:52.880 Either you stand with the family, you defend it, or you don't.

00:38:55.900 And if you don't, then you're an agent of despair and moral chaos.

00:38:59.740 You're the enemy.

00:39:00.460 You're a demonic force.

00:39:02.980 We're not allies.

00:39:04.000 We can never be allies.

00:39:05.300 I want your whole worldview and everything you stand for to be destroyed if you stand against the family.

00:39:09.640 Like, you cannot possibly be an agent for good in the culture if you stand against the family.

00:39:15.460 You cannot possibly be.

00:39:17.340 It's impossible.

00:39:18.340 You're pro-family or anti-family.

00:39:19.860 That's it.

00:39:20.380 That's all that, that, that's what matters to me.

00:39:23.220 Now, if we can agree that we're pro-family, then we could go on and we could talk about a lot of other really important issues.

00:39:31.340 But the first litmus test for me is pro-family or anti-family.

00:39:37.280 And if you're anti-family, I don't care how you arrived at that conclusion.

00:39:40.000 I don't care what your reason is.

00:39:41.020 I don't care what kind of language you use when, when describing it.

00:39:44.520 Doesn't matter.

00:39:45.620 You're anti-family.

00:39:46.660 You're, uh, you're, you're an enemy of this country.

00:39:49.040 You're an enemy of civilization.

00:39:50.020 There is no version of conservatism that is anti-family or apathetic to the family or not actively promoting the family.

00:39:58.220 Because if we're not trying to conserve the family, then there is nothing else worth conserving.

00:40:05.060 If we are not conserving the family, there is not a single other possible thing that could be worth, everything else is destroyed.

00:40:13.180 Everything you care about is destroyed if we are not conserving and promoting and defending the family.

00:40:18.840 If we don't have the family, nothing else matters.

00:40:22.060 You go ahead and tell me what other issue.

00:40:23.860 Well, that doesn't matter because of this issue.

00:40:25.980 That issue means nothing.

00:40:27.720 That issue is if we don't have the family.

00:40:30.220 Okay.

00:40:32.120 You can't be, you can't be America first if you're not rabidly pro-family and promoting the family, encouraging people to start families.

00:40:39.300 Because America can't exist without families.

00:40:44.200 No country can exist.

00:40:47.440 America first.

00:40:48.100 What, what, what is, what's America then?

00:40:50.740 But you want to have America, but no families? 0.94

00:40:52.560 How's that work?

00:40:53.680 What's that going to look like?

00:40:56.240 Well, I'll tell you what America with no families looks like. 0.96

00:40:58.080 It looks like any inner city.

00:40:59.760 It looks like, it looks like extinction.

00:41:01.800 It looks like moral chaos.

00:41:02.740 It looks like total dysfunction and destruction is what it looks like.

00:41:08.220 And if that's what you want for America, then there's no, there's no America first. 0.59

00:41:11.320 It's not conservatism.

00:41:14.740 Civilization cannot exist without the family. 0.83

00:41:16.180 The family is the bedrock of human civilization.

00:41:19.140 Everything, everything, everything is grounded in the family.

00:41:22.680 Everything starts with the family.

00:41:24.000 So why do I obsess about it all the time?

00:41:27.180 Why do I talk about it all the time?

00:41:28.180 Why do I refuse to give in to this black pill, you know, despairing, cowardly nonsense? 0.96

00:41:35.080 Oh, it's too late.

00:41:35.880 We can't, we got to give up on it.

00:41:39.220 It's broken.

00:41:40.840 Why do I refuse?

00:41:41.700 Well, because if I do that, then there's nothing else worth talking about.

00:41:44.880 Just pack it in.

00:41:45.920 Give up, really.

00:41:46.520 At that point, just give up.

00:41:47.780 If you've given up on the family, just give up in general.

00:41:49.740 There's no point.

00:41:50.260 What are you doing with your life?

00:41:51.300 Why, why try?

00:41:52.080 Why try to do anything?

00:41:53.420 What are you fighting for?

00:41:55.060 What are you doing?

00:41:55.880 Voting?

00:41:56.500 Who cares?

00:41:58.020 Immigration, the border. 0.53

00:41:59.020 What does any of that matter?

00:42:00.100 You've given up on the family.

00:42:01.300 It doesn't matter.

00:42:02.480 Nothing matters at that point.

00:42:06.120 So just give up, you know, stay at your house, play on your phone and, and, and bide

00:42:11.420 your time until you die. 0.77

00:42:13.160 I mean, that's, that's, that's, you might as well just do that.

00:42:17.480 So I defended fight for the family because, because I, because.

00:42:22.960 Nothing else matters if I don't, if we all don't.

00:42:27.140 Right.

00:42:27.420 Um, and this is the, it's, it's so fundamental and so basic that, uh, you know, for, for a

00:42:36.120 long time, for, for most of human history, really, there was no reason, you know, to

00:42:41.140 identify yourself as like a defender of the family or your pro family for, for much of

00:42:46.660 human history, particularly much of Western civilization.

00:42:49.180 That was a stance that did not ever need to be said.

00:42:52.520 It would be, you'd be looked at as strange if you went around saying, you know, go around

00:42:56.940 in the 1600s, right.

00:42:59.140 And say, I'm pro family.

00:43:01.580 People look at you like you got five heads, not because they're against the family, but

00:43:05.460 just because, yeah, well, obviously.

00:43:07.920 Right.

00:43:08.280 And that's, that's the most basic thing.

00:43:10.160 Of course, you're, what are you going to be against the family?

00:43:14.440 Well, now we actually have that, that stance exists now.

00:43:17.560 That's a real thing.

00:43:18.260 That's a, that's a, that's a, not just real, but that is a, um, a position that people have

00:43:25.100 with that is growing in power and prominence.

00:43:27.200 And it's not just on the left, left and right.

00:43:31.020 You find this, um, and there's, um, you know, we just, we have no use for it, which doesn't

00:43:41.180 mean that, look, everyone, I'll be the first to say this, that when it comes to conservatives

00:43:46.460 who are sort of in the movement, whether they're, you know, talking heads or activists

00:43:55.020 or whatever, people have different issues that they focus on.

00:43:57.820 They have different aptitudes, different things that they, you know, that they have special

00:44:03.160 insight into.

00:44:04.300 And so it's not that every conservative needs to only ever talk about defending the family.

00:44:08.880 But if you're out there, um, actively degrading it, demonizing it, um, mocking it, belittling

00:44:17.800 it, all that sort of thing, then yeah, you're just, you're, you're like those socialists.

00:44:22.240 And I mean, you're, there's no difference.

00:44:24.500 There's no, there's no meaningful distinction anymore.

00:44:27.080 You're an enemy of, of civilization.

00:44:31.340 All right.

00:44:31.960 Some, um, entertainment news, always important.

00:44:37.280 So we talked about the important things here.

00:44:38.820 So let's go to from variety.

00:44:40.980 Marvel's first family might not save the day after all.

00:44:44.180 The fantastic four is a quickly losing steam in the second weekend.

00:44:47.360 Signaling the comic book adventure isn't connecting the box office after a healthy 117.6 million

00:44:52.140 dollar debut, suffered a hefty 66% drop.

00:44:56.560 Um, and, uh, so yeah, that's it.

00:45:00.500 Okay.

00:45:00.700 I give you, I don't need to give you all the numbers.

00:45:02.280 Six, 6% drop of the second weekend.

00:45:03.800 It dropped 80% from Friday to Friday, which is pretty devastating.

00:45:07.160 I mean, devastating.

00:45:07.900 If you work for Disney, I mean, not devastating for me, but, um, and now a lot of people are

00:45:12.540 offering their analysis on this.

00:45:13.780 They're trying to figure out why the fantastic four is Phil is sort of losing steam so quickly

00:45:18.100 trying to figure out why superhero films in general for the past five years or so are

00:45:21.720 probably longer.

00:45:22.960 Haven't been the surefire massive successes that they've been in the past.

00:45:26.600 They still make a lot of money.

00:45:28.820 They still make hundreds of millions of dollars.

00:45:30.560 Um, but that's really not impressive.

00:45:33.160 You know, I think fantastic four at this point is going to is, is, has made a hundred, whatever,

00:45:37.560 $80 million or something.

00:45:38.860 Not impressive because you've got, first of all, you've got like double that in marketing

00:45:43.320 that goes into these.

00:45:44.160 These are, these are big name IPs, you know, spending tens and hundreds of millions of dollars

00:45:50.600 in production, hundreds more in marketing.

00:45:53.800 Um, so when you're spending that kind of money, it's like, it's not impressive to make a hundred

00:45:57.780 million, 200 million.

00:45:58.760 It's like, it's not impressive.

00:45:59.960 You're not making any money on it.

00:46:01.780 Uh, that's like baseline stuff.

00:46:05.600 So, uh, so these movies are losing steam.

00:46:10.180 And why is that?

00:46:11.280 Well, it's because it's because these movies are bad.

00:46:14.340 Okay.

00:46:15.500 I've been saying this forever.

00:46:16.880 People always get upset.

00:46:18.540 I think there's more people coming around to it.

00:46:21.780 And these are just bad films.

00:46:24.180 Superhero films for the most part, they're just bad films.

00:46:26.360 They're, they're just not good.

00:46:27.420 Like that's all it is.

00:46:29.260 And, and they haven't changed by the way.

00:46:30.640 Like if, if you, if you say, Oh, the superhero films don't do well anymore.

00:46:33.300 Cause they, they're so, you know, it's they're, they're bad now.

00:46:36.860 No, they're, they're kind of what they've always been.

00:46:40.380 You go back and watch a superhero film from 2005.

00:46:42.560 It's not that it's not like, Oh yeah.

00:46:44.540 Well, this was a masterpiece.

00:46:46.900 It's basically the same thing.

00:46:48.420 That's the problem.

00:46:49.740 Now it's true of fantastic four in particular.

00:46:51.720 And I made my point about fantastic.

00:46:53.200 I can't remember why, but I do recall talking about fantastic four one other time.

00:46:56.920 I have no idea why now is my second time revisiting it, but I think I made this point, which is that fantastic four is particularly lame.

00:47:05.620 Like these are especially lame superheroes.

00:47:07.740 The whole squad is run by a guy who's only superpowers that he's really stretchy.

00:47:13.420 I don't know.

00:47:14.000 I don't know what his origin story is.

00:47:15.340 I don't remember.

00:47:16.060 I think I saw, I mean, I, I don't know.

00:47:19.060 I said, was there a fantastic four show back in the nineties I've seen, I've, I've, I've been around it a little bit.

00:47:23.660 So, but I don't remember the, uh, the origin story.

00:47:26.020 Did he fall into a vat of rubber bands?

00:47:27.860 Did he, was he in some sort of like thing where his, his DNA was accidentally melded with a pair of Spanx?

00:47:35.560 Uh, I don't know, but it's lame.

00:47:37.960 It's a really lame power to have.

00:47:39.480 It's only made worse by the fact that Marvel wants all these characters to exist in the same cinematic universe, but that just makes them even more redundant and useless.

00:47:48.140 Like there's no reason why you would ever call the stretchy guy to come help you in a world where, you know, Thor exists or Iron Man or Captain America.

00:47:59.060 And why do you need the big rock guy when you have the Hulk?

00:48:02.360 These people like their neighbors, right?

00:48:04.080 They exist in the same world.

00:48:05.340 They're not far apart.

00:48:07.060 They have supersonic jets.

00:48:08.580 They get around in.

00:48:09.300 I mean, the Hulk could be here in five seconds.

00:48:11.580 Why would you ever want the rock guy?

00:48:13.840 Like what, and the Avengers have this problem on their own squad because they've got the, uh, the, uh, who's the guy with the arrows?

00:48:24.040 Hawkeye.

00:48:25.140 I was just talking to my son about this the other day.

00:48:27.040 And cause I didn't know this.

00:48:28.860 I'd always thought, well, this guy's pretty useless, isn't he?

00:48:31.040 He just has a, he has arrows.

00:48:33.160 Why do you need a guy with arrows?

00:48:35.680 Why would you ever need that?

00:48:36.980 And, but I assume that, well, they must be special arrows, magical arrows.

00:48:40.140 He must be some kind of magical, you know, archer guy.

00:48:43.100 And, but my son was telling me he's not, he has no superpowers at all.

00:48:47.380 He's just a normal guy with arrows.

00:48:51.060 Now, why in God's name would you ever need him?

00:48:53.200 Practically speaking, you have a superhuman alien God, right?

00:48:59.140 Who can fly.

00:49:00.300 And then you've got a strong guy who could throw a tank across the stratosphere.

00:49:05.840 You've got a magical super soldier.

00:49:07.840 You've got Iron Man with his magic suit.

00:49:10.600 In what scenario would you ever have those dudes, but, and they're facing something where they go, we don't, we need an air.

00:49:19.300 We need a guy with arrows for this. 1.00

00:49:21.080 We need a guy who can shoot an arrow 150 yards.

00:49:23.660 We need a guy that was really, that got a, you know, got a, got a, was in Boy Scouts and got the archery badge.

00:49:33.900 So it doesn't make any sense.

00:49:35.620 What was my point?

00:49:37.640 Fantastic Four is lame.

00:49:38.560 That's my point.

00:49:39.000 And superhero movies in general are just not good films.

00:49:41.640 And that's why the genre, genre is dying because these movies are shallow, they're repetitive, they're dull.

00:49:46.600 It's, you know, it's the same thing over and over again.

00:49:49.080 There's no soul.

00:49:49.780 There's no heart.

00:49:50.740 That's really what it is.

00:49:51.740 There's no soul or heart to this.

00:49:53.660 If there was anything beneath the surface, if the genre, uh, had, if there was anything really there, you know, if there was any real art to it, then the genre would last more than 15 or 20 years, but it hasn't.

00:50:04.220 Okay.

00:50:04.600 Think about, you know, think about Westerns, right?

00:50:08.480 Westerns were a really popular genre for like 40 or 50 years and they fell off only because Hollywood stopped making them.

00:50:14.400 Not because people lost interest, not because the genre ran out of gas.

00:50:17.880 It's just because Hollywood decided they want to make them anymore.

00:50:19.880 Um, or they decided that if they do make them, they have to make them super politically correct.

00:50:24.400 And you need to have a boss, babe, hero, and you need the Indians to all be good guys.

00:50:29.100 And people weren't interested in that.

00:50:30.680 So Hollywood gave up on it, but, um, these are, this is a genre that has stood the test of time.

00:50:37.440 And, and it's interesting because the superhero movies are very redundant.

00:50:42.760 It's the same thing over and over and over again.

00:50:44.480 It's the same plot beats over and over and over again.

00:50:47.440 Sometimes literally the same story.

00:50:49.180 How many times are they going to show the origin story of these guys?

00:50:52.080 Like how many times do you need to see that?

00:50:53.420 How many times, how many versions of that do you need?

00:50:55.660 It's the same story over and over again.

00:50:59.300 Um, but then you think about something like Westerns and you could point out that, well,

00:51:03.200 I'm a big Western fan and Westerns can be, can be, they follow a formula too.

00:51:08.100 They're pretty formulaic or they can be very similar beats.

00:51:13.460 Um, a lot of Westerns feature the brooding loner guy, right?

00:51:17.800 A lot of them end with the big shootout at the end.

00:51:20.400 Often you've got a bad guy who's trying to kick somebody off of their land.

00:51:23.600 I mean, this was the formula way back with Shane in the, in the, in the 1950s.

00:51:29.720 And, um, now here we are 70 years later, 70 plus years later.

00:51:34.640 And, uh, and if, when a Western is made, it's the same basic formula.

00:51:40.460 And I love the formula.

00:51:42.200 I've seen 50, I've seen a hundred Westerns that all have that same formula.

00:51:45.260 I love every single one.

00:51:46.100 I've seen them all multiple times.

00:51:48.020 And why is that?

00:51:48.940 It's because there's these, they have, they have heart.

00:51:51.100 They have a soul, like they're actual films.

00:51:53.220 These are works of art.

00:51:54.400 There's, there's humanity to it.

00:51:56.820 Right.

00:51:57.200 And that's why it stands the test of time.

00:51:59.140 It's something, it feels like something real, right?

00:52:02.500 It feels like art.

00:52:03.740 It feels like cinema.

00:52:05.340 And, uh, these superhero movies are just not, you know, it's like Scorsese said, their theme

00:52:11.060 park rides.

00:52:12.620 Scorsese, who I think knows a thing or two about making great films, uh, one of the greatest

00:52:17.000 filmmakers of all time.

00:52:18.080 And it doesn't mean he's right about everything, but he was right about this.

00:52:21.080 And when you've got a guy like that, who's, you know, and, and that should, the filmmakers

00:52:24.740 aren't, it's not often that you'll hear them just writing off entire genres.

00:52:27.820 They don't typically do that.

00:52:28.680 Usually filmmakers love films.

00:52:30.100 They love all genres.

00:52:31.720 Um, but one thing you'll hear from the really great film, and he's not the only one, but

00:52:35.960 the really great directors, you'll, you'll often, if you, if there's candid moments when

00:52:40.120 you kind of reveal like they're not really into this and why it's just because it's not

00:52:45.740 a film, it's, it's a theme park ride, it's an amusement park ride, basically.

00:52:50.680 Um, and that's all they're made to be.

00:52:52.500 They're not, they're not even made to be films.

00:52:54.400 They're not made to tell a story.

00:52:55.800 They're made to sell merchandise.

00:52:57.420 They're made to cash in on an IP, right?

00:53:00.560 That's all.

00:53:00.980 That's the only reason they exist.

00:53:03.500 And yes, every movie exists ultimately to make money.

00:53:06.260 Somebody wants to make money off of it, but with the superhero movies, it's purely that

00:53:10.300 this is, this is a corporate boardroom.

00:53:13.180 They sat around and said, okay, here's this IP, how are we going to cash in on it this

00:53:16.580 time?

00:53:17.040 That's the beginning of the film, right?

00:53:18.580 That is, that's where the film starts.

00:53:20.560 And you can never have a good film that starts that way.

00:53:23.340 If it's going to be a great, if any chance of a great film, it has to start with an artist

00:53:26.780 in their own head and their own heart.

00:53:28.560 And they have a story that they want to tell them.

00:53:30.160 And yeah, they got to bring in the money people.

00:53:31.480 They got to bring in the producers.

00:53:32.540 They got to bring in all this.

00:53:33.380 They got to get funding.

00:53:34.820 Sometimes the story gets, gets watered down.

00:53:37.240 Sometimes it's ruined in that process, but it's got to start with someone saying this story

00:53:41.100 means something to me and I want to tell it.

00:53:42.980 And if it doesn't start with that, you're going to end up with a movie.

00:53:46.140 And, uh, and that's why most of these franchise films are terrible.

00:53:49.240 It's why they're crap, because they don't start in the heart and soul of an artist.

00:53:52.460 They start in a corporate boardroom.

00:53:53.980 Um, they start with a, with a, with a, you know, with a freaking chart and a, and a, and

00:53:58.640 a whiteboard in their, in their, uh, and bar graphs.

00:54:02.140 And that's where they start.

00:54:04.540 Okay.

00:54:06.000 And AI now that too, really now they start with AI.

00:54:08.920 Um, and, uh, and that's what they're going to be made with also.

00:54:13.300 So not a fan.

00:54:16.160 Have you ever wondered why elite athletes, business moguls, and high performers are using

00:55:25.260 Well, I don't, but some people do.

00:55:26.760 What is Jordan going to answer our questions again?

00:55:29.300 That's the comment.

00:55:30.700 Not celebrities, not headlines, just real people with real problems looking for real answers.

00:55:34.780 Well, now he is.

00:55:35.760 Jordan B. Peterson's new series, Answer the Call, is going back to where this all started

00:55:39.860 to speak directly to the people who need it most, you.

00:55:42.900 This is your chance to ask Jordan questions that keep you up at night, the ones you don't

00:55:46.380 know who else to ask.

00:55:48.060 Get new episodes of Answer the Call every Monday on the Jordan B. Peterson podcast.

00:55:52.540 Now let's get to our daily cancellation.

00:56:00.360 This will come as a shock to you, but people are mad at me on the internet again.

00:56:05.300 This is a fascinating change of pace from yesterday and the day before and the day before that

00:56:08.960 and every day for the past 10 years when people have also been mad at me on the internet.

00:56:12.700 This latest outrage began with a post from some random account on X who shared a screenshot

00:56:16.740 that contained a disturbing fact, which said this.

00:56:20.460 By 2030, an estimated 45% of women aged 25 to 44 will be single and child free.

00:56:27.100 And the account comments correctly that this is, quote, the real pandemic.

00:56:30.360 Now, a woman by the name of Rudaparna Chatterjee, who is the deputy Asia director at The Independent,

00:56:37.660 responded saying, women don't owe children to a world that hates them and is actively curbing 1.00

00:56:42.400 their body autonomy rights.

00:56:44.760 That post, by the way, has over 200,000 likes.

00:56:48.420 Now, I responded to Ms. Rudaparna Chatterjee with my own take.

00:56:51.700 I posted, quote, women do, in fact, owe children to the world. 0.79

00:56:55.140 Your ancestors suffered and sacrificed and died to bring you into existence and build

00:56:58.160 the civilization you now take for granted.

00:56:59.720 You stand on the shoulders of thousands of years of untold hardship, giving up, throwing

00:57:03.260 it all away, extinguishing your own bloodline, all so that you can live a pathetic and pointless

00:57:06.740 life dedicated solely to your own material gain is an act of generational betrayal and suicide.

00:57:11.680 You know, in my typical understated way, well, as you probably imagine, the feminists did 1.00

00:57:19.380 not like that very much.

00:57:21.520 Thousands of very outraged comments followed, some of them like this one, threatening to

00:57:25.900 extinguish their own bloodline in an act of revenge against me, quote, I would never

00:57:30.060 bring children into a world of Matt Walsh and his fellow right-wing media internet grifters.

00:57:35.220 Some of them like this one were wishing death on me, predictably, quote, please do us all

00:57:40.520 a favor and blow your brains out. 0.97

00:57:42.800 Some of them like this one very hilariously accused me of being a hypocrite because I

00:57:47.400 have no children of my own, quote, says the guy with zero kids and two failed marriages,

00:57:52.220 not even your wives want to F you. 0.65

00:57:55.240 When she screenshots an AI search result that says Matt Walsh does not have any children,

00:57:59.000 according to Wikipedia, he's been married twice, but those marriages did not produce

00:58:01.940 any children.

00:58:03.160 Now, of course, as you know, I actually have six kids and I've been married for 14 years

00:58:07.480 to one woman.

00:58:08.020 I'm not sure which Matt Walsh, if any, this answer refers to, but I do know that this other

00:58:12.440 Matt Walsh didn't deserve to get caught in the crossfire, poor guy.

00:58:16.120 But most of the responses simply accused me of being an oppressive, patriarchal, sexist,

00:58:19.620 misogynistic tyrant who hates women and wants to control them.

00:58:22.660 Hundreds of feminists declared that they don't owe the world or anyone in it anything at all. 1.00

00:58:28.240 There are also a number of comments saying that the world is too populated as it is, so the

00:58:31.700 best thing we can do for the world is embrace our own extinction.

00:58:34.560 It was a pretty grim array of responses, all told.

00:58:38.420 And if ratios tell us anything, which they probably don't, I must admit that the original

00:58:42.780 post claiming that women don't owe children to the world because the world hates them 1.00

00:58:46.420 has over 200,000 likes.

00:58:48.440 Mine has just over 30,000, which isn't too shabby, but hers would seem to be the more popular

00:58:54.080 sentiment.

00:58:54.620 At least in the social media fever swamps, it is, which is why I think it's worth fleshing

00:59:02.640 out my point in some greater detail.

00:59:05.540 So yes, women owe children. 1.00

00:59:09.280 The vast majority of women, with the exception of those who are called to a celibate religious

00:59:13.500 vocation, I'm not including them, are meant to have children.

00:59:18.300 It is their vocation, their responsibility to God, to civilization, to their families,

00:59:25.140 to their ancestors.

00:59:26.840 Now, I'm sure that some of you right now are boiling with rage and screaming into the air,

00:59:30.800 what about men?

00:59:31.900 Why won't you say this about men?

00:59:33.300 Why is it just women? 1.00

00:59:35.520 Well, as it turns out, I do say this about men.

00:59:38.300 I have made this exact point about men probably hundreds of times.

00:59:42.380 I've said it on my show.

00:59:43.640 I've said it in interviews.

00:59:44.640 I've said it on X.

00:59:45.520 I've said it in my writing.

00:59:46.460 I've said it in every forum available to me for 10 years, if not longer, that the vast

00:59:52.380 majority of men are called to be fathers.

00:59:55.800 It is their obligation.

00:59:57.160 It is their responsibility.

00:59:59.740 Now, the point about our duty to our ancestors and our bloodline is one that I have made about

01:00:04.340 men and to men countless times.

01:00:06.800 So yes, this does apply to men.

01:00:08.360 I have applied it to men repeatedly ad nauseum for over a decade.

01:00:12.180 If you listen to the show, you know that.

01:00:14.060 Of course I have.

01:00:14.800 It takes two to make a baby.

01:00:17.460 Every child has and therefore also should have a mother and a father, a point that I have

01:00:21.980 also made literally thousands of times in my career.

01:00:25.720 It is the worst kind of selfishness to stand at the end of millennia of hardship and sacrifice

01:00:31.360 and declare that it was all for nothing, that the story is coming to an end because you'd

01:00:36.000 rather have more time to sit on your couch and scroll TikTok, which is how almost everyone

01:00:41.040 uses the extra time they gain from not having kids.

01:00:44.460 These people are not out creating beautiful works of art or making scientific discoveries

01:00:48.780 or even spending time on interesting hobbies.

01:00:51.500 Almost all of them are just sitting around staring at their phones.

01:00:54.700 They're blowing up their family lineage and sending their bloodline careening off a cliff

01:00:58.460 so they can do literally nothing of consequence whatsoever.

01:01:02.000 It is all being sacrificed for the sake of ease and comfort and greater luxury, even though

01:01:07.860 you could have kids and still have immense ease, comfort, and luxury in comparison to

01:01:11.160 what your ancestors enjoyed and what most people on earth today enjoy.

01:01:14.280 So, this is pure nihilism.

01:01:18.000 It is pure despair and not nihilism and despair bred from some kind of tragic experience.

01:01:22.560 It's nihilism and despair bred from a life of intense, single-minded self-interest.

01:01:27.040 It is the kind of nihilism and despair that comes from never looking or thinking about anything

01:01:31.280 except your reflection in the mirror and whatever slop you stare at on your phone.

01:01:35.560 So, yes, again, I apply this to men and women equally, obviously.

01:01:39.320 And yet, when I do focus this message on men, which I do all the time, nobody ever responds

01:01:48.080 by wishing death on me, okay? 0.62

01:01:50.900 On none of those occasions has there even been a fraction of the blowback.

01:01:55.600 The red pill and man is fear side of the internet might get annoyed, but that's about it.

01:01:59.960 It's nothing like this.

01:02:02.860 And that's because it has long been verboten in our culture to tell women that they have

01:02:08.820 any obligations at all.

01:02:11.080 And now we have generations of women who have never heard it suggested that they might have

01:02:16.100 any responsibilities to anyone or anything outside of themselves.

01:02:21.700 Now, that's not to say that there are no women who acknowledge responsibilities. 1.00

01:02:25.700 Plenty of women do. 1.00

01:02:26.380 My wife does.

01:02:27.080 I know plenty of good conservative Christian women who are aware that they have obligations 1.00

01:02:30.080 and who work every day to meet those obligations.

01:02:31.980 But the point is that this is not a message they will hear from the culture.

01:02:35.920 If you grow up in modern America, you go to public school, consume mainstream media and

01:02:40.060 entertainment, and you're a female, you will rarely hear anyone even hint at the idea that 0.85

01:02:46.620 you have responsibilities as a woman.

01:02:49.760 The sentence, the phrase, as a woman, you have the responsibility to blank is almost never said

01:02:58.860 ever.

01:02:59.820 And if you think I'm making that up or exaggerating, just think in your own mind, when's the last

01:03:02.860 time you ever heard anyone say that besides me, when's the last time you ever heard anyone

01:03:07.540 say in any context, anywhere at church, on TV, politicians, anyone, when have you ever

01:03:12.320 heard anyone say as a woman, you have a responsibility to blank. 0.99

01:03:16.460 Now, when have you heard it, this said about men all the time as a man, you have a responsibility

01:03:21.620 to blank as a man, you have an obligation to do this as a man, you should do this as a

01:03:24.340 man, you should do that.

01:03:24.900 This is said constantly.

01:03:26.460 I mean, all the time it's said.

01:03:30.360 But it is almost never said about women.

01:03:34.780 Instead, if you're a woman, you will be told everywhere by everyone that a woman is meant 0.65

01:03:39.620 to be an autonomous creature, free and unburdened by any expectation.

01:03:43.000 Her only vocation in life is to do exactly what she wants to do for no greater purpose

01:03:46.760 than fulfilling her desires, whatever those desires may be.

01:03:49.400 Anything that stands in the way of that pursuit, she is told, can and should be disregarded and,

01:03:55.120 if necessary, violently and bloodily killed, even and especially if that obstacle is her

01:04:00.260 own child in the womb.

01:04:03.040 This is the kind of conditioning that women receive. 1.00

01:04:06.660 And it's why a tweet like mine, talking about a woman's obligations, is so shocking. 0.74

01:04:12.660 Not because there's anything outrageous about it, but because it suggests the forbidden word

01:04:17.100 responsibility.

01:04:19.560 And yet, in spite of this relentless campaign to drive responsibility away and pretend it

01:04:23.440 doesn't exist, it does still exist.

01:04:25.020 As a woman, as a woman, you are not a self-created deity who spawned out of the ether.

01:04:34.000 You are a created being.

01:04:36.260 You are a human person who is the product of thousands of years of sacrifice and toil.

01:04:41.080 You are not autonomous.

01:04:42.660 You are a member of a family and a community and a country, and you are dependent on that

01:04:48.960 membership.

01:04:49.560 You benefit from it.

01:04:50.860 If you were truly left to your autonomous self out alone in the wilderness somewhere,

01:04:55.220 unencumbered by association or obligation, you'd be dead in three days.

01:05:00.360 You don't want that.

01:05:01.760 You want and do enjoy the benefits of civilization, of your ancestor's sacrifice, of being a part

01:05:07.320 of your family, a citizen of a country, a product of Western society.

01:05:11.020 Those are all privileges that you did not earn and did nothing to contribute to, and they

01:05:16.380 come with responsibilities.

01:05:18.660 You can choose to reject those responsibilities.

01:05:21.620 You can fold your arm.

01:05:22.580 You can stomp your feet like a child, but the responsibilities remain.

01:05:27.140 And the most basic responsibility of all, though certainly not the only one, is to continue on,

01:05:33.560 to continue the great project that your forebears began, to pass on the baton that they have

01:05:39.540 handed to you.

01:05:41.720 If this sort of talk seems offensive to you or alien or strange, that's only because you

01:05:46.960 are an incredibly shallow and ridiculous person who has never paused to contemplate where you

01:05:51.540 stand in life and how you got there and what it all means and what sort of legacy you want

01:05:55.760 to leave behind.

01:05:57.700 Now, I can't save you from being shallow and ridiculous.

01:06:00.120 That will probably never change, though it could if you wanted it to, but you probably

01:06:03.020 don't want it to, so it won't.

01:06:04.260 Now, what I am saying, though, is still true.

01:06:08.040 Your life was not given to you so that you could live it only for yourself.

01:06:13.160 You have obligations, whether you want to admit it or not.

01:06:17.700 And that's why those who don't or won't admit it are today canceled.

01:06:23.560 That'll do it for the show today.

01:06:24.320 Thanks for watching.

01:06:24.800 Thanks for listening.

01:06:25.340 Talk to you tomorrow.

01:06:26.240 Have a great day.
