00:01:11.880 Today on the Matt Walsh show, a lot has been said about the Democrat victory on Tuesday,

00:01:15.600 and much of the analysis, as usual, misses the point. So today we'll look at the one key factor

00:01:20.820 that decided the election, and it's not the economy. Also, a black comedian admits that he is stalking a

00:01:26.840 random white family whose ancestors allegedly owned his ancestors as slaves 200 years ago.

00:01:32.080 Nothing strange about that. The trans male who harassed that woman at Gold's gym speaks out,

00:01:36.680 and he's about as creepy as you'd expect. Plus, we'll explore the different levels of fatness that

00:01:41.020 fat acceptance activists have come up with as part of their never-ending oppression Olympics contest.

00:01:45.520 Talk about all that and more today on the Matt Walsh show.

00:01:47.700 The holidays are here, which means your calendar is probably packed with hosting

00:02:17.680 duties, shopping lists, and endless to-dos. When life gets this hectic, sleep often takes a backseat,

00:02:23.060 but that's exactly when you need it the most. Quality rest is what keeps you energized for holiday

00:02:27.640 prep, helps you stay patient with the in-laws, and lets you actually enjoy the season instead of just

00:02:32.520 surviving it. And here's the truth. If your mattress isn't giving you the deep, comfortable sleep that

00:02:37.180 your body craves, you're starting every day at a disadvantage, and that's where Helix Sleep comes in.

00:03:54.220 breaking point. The American Revolution was born from 150 years of colonial experience, tensions,

00:03:59.060 and transformation. Let's understand what really led to independence. Hillsdale College offers a free

00:04:03.520 miniseries on colonial America that tells the full story. Hillsdale College has created a

00:04:07.820 fascinating six-part documentary series where their professors explore their religious,

00:04:11.660 political, cultural, and economic ideas that shaped America's unique character during the

00:04:16.060 colonial period. You'll discover why the idea of liberty, especially religious liberty,

00:04:19.820 drove settlers to risk everything crossing the Atlantic, how early Americans built local governments

00:04:24.720 to rule and protect themselves, and why America became a place where virtue could lead to peace

00:04:29.960 and prosperity. While most of us know the Declaration of Independence as the birth of our

00:04:34.180 nation, this course digs deeper into something even more fundamental, the forging of the American

00:04:38.340 character that made the revolution possible in the first place, and why reclaiming that character

00:04:43.160 matters more than ever today. Best of all, this miniseries is completely free and easy to access,

00:04:48.300 and if you're interested in learning more, Hillsdale offers over 40 other free online courses on

00:04:53.580 everything from C.S. Lewis and the Book of Genesis to the rise and fall of the Roman Republic,

00:04:57.280 plus in-depth courses on the American founding and constitution, all at no cost. Right now,

00:05:02.400 go to hillsdale.edu slash Walsh to enroll. That's no cost, and it's easy to get started. There's

00:05:14.620 complete picture of what happened on election day, it's tempting to come to the conclusion that the

00:05:18.820 America First movement is in a lot of trouble. Certainly, a lot of commentators are attempting to make

00:05:24.340 that point from both the left and the right, and for the most part, they're off the mark. Now,

00:05:29.400 for example, I saw some posts talking about how in the Atlanta metro area on Tuesday, Democrats managed

00:05:34.880 to flip counties that went for Donald Trump last year by 25 points, 26 points, and 28 points,

00:05:40.820 and those figures sound really striking. After all, how could any county go from overwhelmingly

00:05:45.020 supporting Donald Trump to voting Democrat in just one year? How could these numbers possibly be

00:05:51.280 accurate unless MAGA is on its last legs? Well, the problem with this analysis is that on Tuesday,

00:05:56.580 turnout in Georgia was only about 20%. Hardly anyone voted because it's an off-year election,

00:06:01.840 and the race didn't have any national implications at all, so the people who did vote weren't saying

00:06:07.940 anything about the Trump administration or the state of the country or anything like that. The

00:06:11.740 election in Georgia determined the makeup of Georgia's Public Service Commission, which regulates

00:06:16.220 utility prices. And people living in Georgia don't like the size of the electricity bills at the

00:06:20.300 moment, which have increased by about $50 a month since 2022. Electricity has gotten more expensive

00:06:26.780 because more corporate data centers have moved into town, and it's been unusually warm, requiring more

00:06:32.540 power for air conditioning, and people are frustrated by the cost. And I mean, that's really all there is

00:06:37.580 to it. Along the same lines, you'll hear people panicking about the fact that Democrats flipped two seats in

00:06:43.500 Mississippi's state Senate, ending the Republican supermajority in that chamber, which the GOP has

00:06:49.220 maintained for more than a decade. Supposedly, this is a major rejection of the Republican Party in a deep red

00:06:54.420 stronghold. But again, the context is important. Democrats only won the elections because of court-ordered

00:07:00.900 redistricting pursuant to the Voting Rights Act, a flagrantly unconstitutional and anti-white piece of civil rights-era

00:07:07.620 legislation that, as we've discussed, is about to be struck down by the Supreme Court. So they redrew the maps in

00:07:14.740 Mississippi on the basis of race in order to steal more votes. And what do you know? Well, they stole 0.89

00:07:21.620 a lot of votes. That's the story. And once the Supreme Court gets rid of the Voting Rights Act,

00:07:28.260 which it looks like they will, this particular kind of story won't happen again. Similarly, it's true

00:07:34.260 that Republicans lost several races in the state of Pennsylvania, Bucks County, the site of Trump's

00:07:40.100 infamous McDonald's campaign stop, elected a Democrat district attorney for the first time since the

00:07:45.420 1800s. Bucks County also elected a Democrat sheriff replacing a Republican. Additionally, Democrats flipped

00:07:51.260 a number of other highly prestigious positions, including the mayor of Beaver Borough and Erie County

00:07:58.940 executive. But again, you need to look at the context. Trump carried Bucks County by one-tenth of

00:08:05.480 one percent in the 2024 election. You carried Erie County by just one percent. So these were always

00:08:10.860 extremely tight competitive counties for Republicans. And without Trump at the top of the ticket, it makes

00:08:16.120 sense that some of them would slip away. And frankly, if we're being honest, some of these races probably 0.99

00:08:20.900 involve some degree of fraud, or at least the number of voters was so small that the result, you know,

00:08:26.720 it's hard to glean anything from the result. Consider the fact that a Democrat won the race for

00:08:31.760 Clearfield County Court of Common Pleas in Pennsylvania by 178 votes, or 0.8 percent,

00:08:39.600 beating a Republican who serves as incumbent DA. In the 2024 election, the same county went for Trump

00:08:46.180 by 52 points. This is a result that really doesn't even make any sense, even accounting for the fact

00:08:52.700 that turnout was cut in half. I mean, does anyone really think that voters have swung against Trump

00:08:56.860 by a margin of 51 percent? The change is so large and the voting pool is so small that

00:09:02.860 you can't really learn much from it except for the fact that, you know, someone should probably audit

00:09:08.060 the ballots. So what's needed at the moment is not the usual meltdown about how Republicans are doomed

00:09:14.540 to lose everything in the midterms next year and how we're destined for total Democrat party control

00:09:19.580 of government in 2028. That kind of thinking is never helpful. And in this case, it doesn't really

00:09:25.760 reflect what happened on Tuesday, even though what happened was bad. It's like a bad situation for

00:09:32.300 Republicans, as we talked about yesterday. There's no doubt about that either. So we can't cope in the

00:09:36.420 other direction by pretending that all of this is perfectly fine. What we need to focus at some length

00:09:44.240 instead on the handful of elections from earlier this week that actually do have implications for

00:09:51.260 the party and national politics, the things that we can learn from. And by far the most consequential

00:09:58.740 result, of course, was Zoran Mamdani's election as mayor of New York. And the more you look into

00:10:05.640 exactly how Zoran Mamdani won this race, the more you realize exactly what Republicans need to start doing

00:10:12.620 if we want to prevent socialists from replicating their success in every other major city in this

00:10:18.940 country. So we'll put probably the single most important statistics on the screen right now.

00:10:26.280 And this is kind of all you need to know is an exit poll asking voters how long they've lived in New

00:10:33.480 York City, along with who they voted for. So as you can see there, Mamdani won 83% of voters

00:10:41.540 who have lived in New York City for less than five years. So I'll say that again. Mamdani won 83%

00:10:50.260 of voters who have lived in the city for less than five years. Cuomo received just 15% of those voters.

00:10:58.740 And as you can see from the rest of the numbers in this poll, the longer that people have lived in

00:11:05.220 the city, the less likely they were to vote for Mamdani. It's a sliding scale. Among New Yorkers

00:11:13.940 who were actually born in the city, Cuomo was ahead of Mamdani by double digits.

00:11:20.400 Okay. That's this, all of the analysis that people are doing and looking at all the numbers and this

00:11:25.480 and that, and looking at the economy, it's really got nothing to do with it. This is everything.

00:11:33.240 Okay. In other words, the people who have invested the least into New York City, the people who don't

00:11:40.160 really own any property, don't have family connections, don't have any ancestral ties to

00:11:44.080 the city at all, haven't paid taxes for social services or city infrastructure, who just arrived

00:11:51.200 on a direct flight from the third world. They are the ones dictating the future of New York to actual 1.00

00:11:57.260 New Yorkers. Again, 40% of New Yorkers weren't even born in the United States. The word for this 0.55

00:12:04.920 situation is not migration or mass migration. The word is invasion. It is a hostile takeover

00:12:10.320 by people who have absolutely nothing to lose because they're not gambling with their families

00:12:15.280 or their futures. And they're deciding the direction of a country that they don't care about.

00:12:22.680 They can pick up and leave once they ransack New York. And that's exactly what they intend to do.

00:12:29.180 They'll move to another city in another state and they will repeat the process.

00:12:33.100 Now, in response to Mamdani's victory, I've seen some on the right make the argument that in

00:12:39.360 reality, the primary reason Mamdani is so popular in New York is that millions of people,

00:12:45.480 particularly young people, can't afford to live in the city. Young adults are getting college

00:12:50.400 degrees that cost them hundreds of thousands of dollars and train them to be communists. And then

00:12:55.460 when they realize they can't get a good job with their useless degrees, they decide that capitalism

00:12:59.640 is the problem. Therefore, we're told we need to meet these socialists in the middle. We should

00:13:04.700 feel their pain and hold them blameless for their frustration. That's the path that a lot of

00:13:10.480 commentators are charting for the future of the Republican Party. This is totally wrong.

00:13:17.760 One of the problems with this line of reasoning is that these disaffected young adults in New York

00:13:23.080 are voting for the exact problems that they're complaining about. The people who have lived in

00:13:29.140 New York for their whole lives understand very well that rent has doubled in the past few years

00:13:33.680 precisely because New York has imported so many foreigners, so many third worlders, people who 1.00

00:13:38.040 think and talk just like Zoran Mamdani. As a result of open borders, millions of newcomers,

00:13:44.300 as Democrats call them, are now competing with New Yorkers for jobs and housing and emergency

00:13:49.260 services and everything else. And instead of deporting these foreigners, New York's government

00:13:56.240 has simply expanded its welfare state to include every single one of them. They all get free pre-K

00:14:03.140 now and free buses and free health care and free housing and free bail when they commit felonies,

00:14:08.680 which a lot of them do. Now, over in the third world, that sounds like a pretty good deal. 0.79

00:14:14.160 But actual New Yorkers, actual Americans know through experience, if nothing else,

00:14:18.160 what happens next? Prices go up for everyone. The affordability crisis gets even worse.

00:14:25.880 And you can't solve the problem with higher taxes because none of the invaders are paying taxes.

00:14:30.720 And all the wealthy, you know, the taxpaying New Yorkers are leaving. But the other problem with

00:14:37.220 believing that the socialists are onto something and that we should blame capitalism and the financial

00:14:42.620 institutions is that voters in New York, they don't actually care about the economy.

00:14:48.160 Okay. These, again, these voters, the less time they've spent in New York. So we're supposed to

00:14:55.200 believe that it is all about the economy, even though it's the people who've been here for five

00:15:00.560 seconds. The people that have been in this economy for five seconds are the people who put Momdani over

00:15:05.880 the top. And so it's about the economy, really? He won 83% of the vote for people who just got here.

00:15:12.720 And we're supposed to believe that what tipped it was the economic situation? Are you insane?

00:15:20.980 No, Lee Kuan Yew, the first prime minister of Singapore and one of the country's modern founding

00:15:25.800 fathers, put it this way. In multiracial societies, you don't vote in accordance with your economic 1.00

00:15:31.560 interests and social interests. You vote in accordance with race and religion.

00:15:35.220 Well, that's it. That was obviously the case on Tuesday in New York. Take a look at these exit

00:15:42.620 polls. Every single demographic group that's preferred by the Democrat party, which is to

00:15:48.080 say every demographic group other than white men, went for Zoran Momdani. Black men, black women,

00:15:53.780 Latino men, Latino men, Latino women, white women, every other minority group, they all supported

00:16:04.360 Momdani over Cuomo. But the one demographic group that Democrats demonized every available

00:16:11.400 opportunity, white men, they went for Cuomo. So it's almost as if, as Singapore's founding father

00:16:17.420 to put it, everyone in this particular multiracial society is voting exactly as he said. They know

00:16:27.400 that they aren't going to vote based on policies or debates or campaign advertisements. Now, there's

00:16:33.540 no time for that. Instead, they recognize that their racial and religious interests matter more

00:16:37.700 than anything else. So that's how they make their decision. They're coming from places where

00:16:45.420 that's how it works. That's how it works in much of Africa and the Middle East. They're coming from 0.98

00:16:52.600 these heavily tribalistic places. And where you're not, you're not like the economies, they don't even

00:17:02.760 have economies in most of Africa. What they have, though, are tribal factions. And you side with your 0.99

00:17:10.720 tribal faction, no matter what. And so that's how it works in New York, which has now imported much of 0.59

00:17:20.780 Africa and the Middle East. Race and tribal factionalism trumps everything else. 0.80

00:17:28.680 And to be clear, when I say that voters choose candidates based on racial factors, I'm also

00:17:36.520 talking about voters who will pick candidates based on pure racial resentment, meaning their votes are

00:17:42.000 best understood as a vote against a particular racial group. That's the best way to understand

00:17:47.520 these figures from Tuesday. As you can see, 84% of women aged 18 to 29. Yes, 84% of women aged 18 to 29

00:17:57.480 voted for Zoran Mamdani. No other demographic group on the chart has anything close to that margin.

00:18:06.160 So if you meet a young woman in New York, then regardless of her national origin, her race or

00:18:10.940 her income, she almost certainly voted for the foreign communist who despises white people. 0.99

00:18:16.180 And also when she gets harassed or assaulted on the train or mugged on the street,

00:18:20.900 it will be in a very real sense exactly what she voted for.

00:18:27.480 Now, how could that be? How could a white woman vote for that? 1.00

00:18:32.520 How could she vote for someone who hates white people?

00:18:35.400 Well, it doesn't seem to make sense, but then you see videos like this one from Mamdani's

00:18:42.240 victory party featuring a former Bravo actress named Jennifer Welsh, who unfortunately we've

00:18:49.060 talked about a little bit on the show recently. This is a woman who has done so much work to

00:18:52.400 her face that now she resembles something like a transgender Willem Dafoe. And in this clip, 0.79

00:18:58.340 Welsh solved the riddle that we're discussing. Not the riddle about why she has injected botulism 0.97

00:19:04.160 into her face and made herself look so deformed, but rather the riddle about why she would vote 0.97

00:19:09.180 for someone who despises her. Well, she makes it crystal clear how it's possible for that to

00:19:14.160 happen, how it's possible for a white woman to vote for a foreign communist whose entire platform 0.99

00:19:18.740 is premised on disenfranchising and punishing whites. Watch. 0.84

00:19:23.080 It was all white people in here right now. It would be boring. I've grown up in those circles. 1.00

00:19:31.720 Everybody needs spies to tell her in their lives. Life's a lot better. That's the coolest thing

00:19:36.940 about America. Americans have no culture except for multicultural. Well said. 1.00

00:19:42.640 Americans have, it's hard to understand what you're saying because of all the background noise and

00:19:56.340 also because of all the Botox, she can't even move her lips. But so what you said, just to make it

00:20:01.200 clear, Americans have no culture except for multiculturalism. Crusty white people need to 0.84

00:20:05.460 learn how to embrace it. So those are the words of the rich, white, probably wine-drunk actress

00:20:12.920 talking to Mehdi Hassan, who also, of course, despises white people as well as Christianity

00:20:17.560 and the West. This is the unholy alliance we talked about yesterday between foreigners and 1.00

00:20:22.740 liberal women. And it's very clear that both of these groups are motivated by intense resentment 1.00

00:20:28.180 and hatred towards the very group of people who built this country

00:20:31.420 and have called it home since before it was founded. That's all this is. Okay. There's no,

00:20:39.800 no logic here. These are not people who have economic, oh, the economy. It's got nothing to do

00:20:48.020 with it. Okay. They hate white men. They couldn't be any more clear about it. They hate America.

00:20:54.920 They hate American culture. They want to destroy it. They hate white men in particular. And that's

00:20:59.940 what's motivating them. That is what is motivating them. Okay. If the price of gas went down and rent

00:21:06.980 was cheaper, they would not hate white men or hate American culture any less. Just to be clear.

00:21:15.820 These are, if I could put this as gently and nicely as I can, these are wretched, evil parasites

00:21:23.980 who are openly plotting to erase our culture and identity and replace it with a dystopian communist

00:21:30.980 hodgepodge of third world dysfunction. And the case of Jennifer Welsh and millions of other women

00:21:37.840 like her, they're not voting to advance their own racial interests, unlike the other people who are 0.79

00:21:43.720 visible in that clip who are so much as to express their deep seated resentment of white men.

00:21:51.500 That's all this is. It's emotional incontinence. It's envy. It's resentment.

00:21:57.900 And you could tell that you could tell it's emotional incontinence because the idea that

00:22:00.660 Jennifer Welsh presented in this clip, which is also promoted by the left more generally, 0.61

00:22:04.720 doesn't make any sense. I mean, it does not withstand any scrutiny whatsoever. The problem

00:22:09.720 was saying that America has no culture except multiculturalism is that multiculturalism is not

00:22:15.900 culture. It's anti-culture. It's the eradication of our identity as a nation. Multiculturalism is a 1.00

00:22:25.380 kind of culture in the way that a black hole is a kind of star, which is to say it's an inversion of

00:22:32.200 the thing. It is the opposite. It is what happens when the thing is destroyed. And that is why in every

00:22:39.520 single case, every single one, multiculturalism has proven synonymous with disaster and ruin. 1.00

00:22:46.980 We have seen this everywhere across the West. In Germany, Angela Merkel famously admitted more

00:22:54.340 than a decade ago that attempts to build a multicultural society in her country have, quote,

00:22:59.040 utterly failed. But she kept the floodgates open to foreigners anyway, who have proceeded to turn 1.00

00:23:05.620 Germany into the worst performing economy in the entire world. As Germany's chancellor recently put

00:23:11.000 it, the welfare state as we know it today can no longer be financed by our economy. Well, it turns out,

00:23:17.420 you know, none of these migrants are getting jobs. This is what happens when you bring in a bunch of 1.00

00:23:22.880 migrants who are not interested in working, but they want you, you know, they want you to take care

00:23:29.140 of them. Turns out it doesn't work. It just doesn't work. You can wish that it works. You can hope that it

00:23:37.020 works. You can tell yourself that it will work, but it just doesn't. It can't. And, you know, a lot of

00:23:45.980 these migrants are also committing crimes, lots of crimes. In the past decade, according to Germany's 0.99

00:23:49.780 government, a total of 136,000 known crimes were committed by Syrian suspects alone.

00:23:57.620 That's one crime every 39 minutes by a Syrian migrant in just that country. 0.99

00:24:05.500 Overall, the crime rate for foreigners is roughly three times the rate of Germans. 0.91

00:24:11.020 And that's based on official statistics, which are obviously unreliable.

00:24:14.420 They don't usually, you know, they usually don't record crimes committed by foreigners at all. So

00:24:19.120 even though they're trying to stack the deck in favor of foreigners, still they have to admit 0.98

00:24:28.300 that the numbers are staggering. Now it's the same story in Sweden where three out of four murders,

00:24:36.300 attempted murders and manslaughter offenses are now committed by so-called migrants or the children 0.92

00:24:41.860 migrants. According to Sweden's government, quote, foreign-born individuals are two and a half times

00:24:47.400 more likely to be registered as suspected of a crime compared to those born in Sweden with both

00:24:53.160 parents also born in Sweden. For people born in Sweden with two foreign-born parents, the likelihood

00:24:58.640 is over three times higher than for those with Swedish-born parents. And again, those are the most 0.99

00:25:06.360 conservative numbers available. Now we could go on and on and on. We could list many more examples of

00:25:13.540 the failure of multiculturalism. The more multicultural your country becomes, the poorer and more dangerous 1.00

00:25:23.380 it becomes. This is the case everywhere, all the time. It never works any other way but that.

00:25:29.940 And that's the case from England to France, whose president also declared at one point that

00:25:36.120 multiculturalism was a failure. Quote, it's a failure. Sarkozy said of multiculturalism more than

00:25:42.380 a decade ago. The truth is that in all our democracies, we've been too concerned about the

00:25:47.320 identity of the new arrivals and not enough about the identity of the country receiving them.

00:25:51.840 And then like Germany, France kept importing more and more foreigners anyway. They noticed that it was 0.98

00:25:57.860 a failure, that it's not working, that it's destroying their country. And they said, well, what are you

00:26:01.500 going to do? I guess we're just going to give up on our country. But no country proves my point better

00:26:09.340 or with more comic effect than Canada, which has now been taken over by Indians and Sikhs. Something 1.00

00:26:14.860 like one in five residents of Toronto is from South Asia, according to official estimates. The actual

00:26:20.660 numbers, again, probably double that. But that's why Justice Trudeau would dress up like a

00:26:27.480 Bollywood star and bow his head and clasp his hands for the cameras. The pandering was not exactly

00:26:34.940 subtle, nor was its purpose. But somehow, once again, Canada has managed to outdo itself on this

00:26:41.380 front. So meet Graham McGregor, who's a member of Canada's provincial parliament, which is basically

00:26:46.840 a state government in Brampton, Ontario. He's also Canada's minister of citizenship and multiculturalism.

00:26:53.260 So we're going right to the source here. And Graham just posted this hostage video celebrating the

00:26:58.820 birth of somebody named Guru Nanak Devi Ji. And then he wished everybody a happy Gurpuram.

00:27:07.900 But you got to watch the whole thing because it gets better as it goes. So enjoy.

00:27:11.960 Thank you.

00:27:12.960 Hello everyone.

00:27:13.960 Hello everyone.

00:27:14.960 Thank you.

00:27:15.960 Hello everyone.

00:27:16.960 Thank you.

00:27:17.960 Thank you.

00:27:18.960 Mr. Graham McGregor, hey?

00:27:19.960 Ontario's minister of citizenship and multiculturalism, and your MPP for Brampton North.

00:27:23.560 Today we celebrate the birth of Guru Nanak Devi Ji, whose message of equality, compassion,

00:27:29.580 and service continues to inspire millions around the world. His teachings remind us to live

00:27:34.600 life with humility, to uplift others, and to see the divine in all. On this special day,

00:27:40.600 may we carry forward his legacy by spreading kindness and standing up for justice. Wishing

00:27:45.060 you and your family a very happy Gurparab.

00:27:51.920 So imagine being 50 years old, living in Canada your whole life, and then for the first time,

00:28:01.700 seemingly out of nowhere, you start hearing your politicians talking like this.

00:28:07.940 You half expect the guy to hold up a copy of today's newspaper to prove that his captors

00:28:11.340 haven't already killed him. I mean, it's painful to watch in every way. But at the same time,

00:28:18.340 you know, I have to admit, I think I could do a better job. So I'm going to subject you to my

00:28:21.300 own rendition of whatever he just said. Let's see how we do. He said, quote, wishing you and your

00:28:27.540 family a happy Gurparab. Gurparab di lak lak vathayan. Close enough, anyway. The point is,

00:28:38.100 in Canada, the politicians have to read lines like this with a completely straight face.

00:28:42.580 I mean, you can see their souls, like, leaving their bodies as they do it. It's an admission

00:28:47.300 of defeat, of conquest. They're desperately buying time until they're replaced for good,

00:28:53.340 and they know it. And meanwhile, Canada's economy, like the economies of virtually every nation in

00:28:58.220 Europe, has stagnated. It's been overwhelmed by a glut of foreigners who immediately gain access 1.00

00:29:02.760 to every social service that Canadians have to pay for. And instead of leadership, instead of

00:29:07.500 somebody admitting that multiculturalism has destroyed Canada, we're left with pathetic videos

00:29:14.720 like this one. You know, it couldn't be any more clear that identity and culture are prerequisites

00:29:21.860 for having a functional country or a country at all. Your nation has to have a national identity

00:29:30.200 and a culture, or it cannot exist. Multiculturalism is the antithesis of identity and culture. It's 1.00

00:29:38.260 the absence of a common purpose. It's the absence of stability. And it inevitably leads to a drastic

00:29:46.840 increase in racial resentment and crime and poverty and tribalism and factualism and every other marker

00:29:54.440 of social decay. Now, Democrats know all this. They're not making a mistake or a miscalculation.

00:30:02.080 Just like Europe's leaders, they recognize that multiculturalism destroys nations. And just like

00:30:06.780 Europe's leaders, they're going to continue to push for it. Precisely for that reason.

00:30:13.500 Multiculturalism is an expression of hatred and resentment, and it always has been. 1.00

00:30:17.080 Now, if you're a conservative and you're blaming Tuesday's losses on tariffs or, you know, the economy

00:30:22.860 or anything like that, then you're missing the most important factor of all. You're missing the point.

00:30:27.940 And the point is the quote I said earlier, in multiracial societies, you don't vote in accordance 0.94

00:30:32.600 with your economic interests and social interests. You vote in accordance with race and religion.

00:30:37.580 And that's what we saw on Tuesday. And sometime between now and the midterms, conservatives can either

00:30:44.340 learn this lesson and start voting themselves as a unified front in accordance with our own common interests

00:30:50.760 to protect our national identity. Or we could continue sniping at one another, blaming one another,

00:30:58.600 and ultimately losing what is left of our nation. Now let's get to our five headlines.

00:31:06.000 Owning a home is amazing until it's not. One minute you're living your best HGTV fantasy, the next

00:31:17.880 you're wading through a flooded kitchen at 2 a.m. because a pipe decided today was the day to give up

00:31:22.960 on life. Spoiler alert, home repairs have zero respect for your schedule, your wallet, or your

00:31:28.320 sanity. Look, regular homeowners insurance usually doesn't cover the everyday stuff that actually goes

00:31:33.040 wrong. Plumbing failures, HVAC breakdowns, electrical issues. Most of the time, you're on your own for

00:31:38.140 those repairs. And that's where HomeServe comes in. Think of it like a subscription for your home.

00:31:42.640 And for as little as $4.99 a month, you get a backup when things break. And repairs always sit at the

00:31:49.760 worst time, right? We all know that, especially as we get into the holidays. Instead of frantically

00:31:53.480 searching for a contractor in a panic, you could already be on the phone with HomeServe's 24-7 hotline

00:31:59.680 getting someone scheduled. It's simple. Pick a plan that fits your budget. Something goes wrong. Just call

00:32:04.760 and they handle it. They've been doing this for over 20 years with a network of 2,600 local contractors

00:32:09.400 with 4.5 million customers, a 4.8 out of 5 rating, and an A-plus from the Better Business Bureau.

00:32:16.460 They're clearly the real deal. Help protect your home systems and your wallet with HomeServe

00:32:20.340 against covered repairs. Plans start at just $4.99 a month. Go to homeserve.com to find the plan that's

00:32:27.160 right for you. That's homeserve.com. Not available everywhere. Most plans range between $4.99 to $11.99

00:32:32.760 a month, your first year. Terms apply on covered repairs. You guys ever read protein bar labels?

00:32:39.400 It feels and feel like you're reading off a candy bar. Most protein bars are loaded with sugar and

00:32:43.240 processed junk that leave you bloated and unsatisfied. My team was hunting for something

00:32:46.960 better, a clean protein bar that actually keeps us energized. Now enter Equip Foods Prime Bar,

00:32:52.280 the first grass-fed beef protein bar made with only real food ingredients and absolutely nothing to

00:32:56.680 hide. Starting today, my listeners will receive an exclusive discount on Prime Bar, which has become

00:33:00.980 our team's favorite protein bar on the market with 20 grams of protein in every bar. I've tried a lot of

00:33:06.140 protein bars on the market and none of them taste like real food. They taste artificial. They taste

00:33:10.780 just kind of weird, but Prime Bar actually tastes like real food and good food. With just 11 clean

00:33:16.860 ingredients, including collagen, beef tallow, and colostrum, naturally sweetened with dates and

00:33:20.800 honey, you get 20 grams of clean protein without the bloat. No whey, no seed oils, no gluten, no

00:33:25.700 artificial junk. They're third-party tested for heavy metals, microplastics, and pesticides, so they can

00:33:30.360 actually back up their cleanest bar on the market claim. If you want to try the cleanest protein bar on the

00:33:35.560 market that already sold out once, go to EquipFoods.com slash Matt Walsh. Use code Matt Walsh at

00:33:52.700 Well, the comedian Roy Wood Jr. appeared on the Shannon Sharp podcast, I guess, a couple of days ago,

00:34:00.800 and he confessed to something quite bizarre. This is one of the weirder things that we've

00:34:08.500 heard someone say on a podcast, and that is saying quite a lot. Listen to this.

00:34:13.660 I found the white family that purchased the first black wood of my bloodline 0.95

00:34:19.200 off the slave ships in Charleston.

00:34:22.000 Yep, that's what we came up with.

00:34:23.660 If I wanted to, today, I could find the white wood descendants in southern Georgia 1.00

00:34:30.420 and pull up on their f***ing house. 0.99

00:34:35.060 One day I will.

00:34:37.660 They ain't got no money, though.

00:34:41.360 I zillowed they crib.

00:34:43.480 They broke.

00:34:44.280 That's the thing we were talking about with slavery, man, is that it was a lot of white 0.94

00:34:49.660 people fumbled.

00:34:50.720 Like, yo.

00:34:51.160 They fumbled bad.

00:34:52.040 Yeah, you had working for you, you still couldn't come up?

00:34:56.980 How you broke and you had slaves?

00:34:59.800 Yeah, that was bad.

00:35:01.020 That was gold.

00:35:02.180 They fumbled, bro.

00:35:04.320 Yeah, how you broke and you had slaves?

00:35:07.320 How you broke?

00:35:09.520 Well, I think they broke because they didn't have slaves, Roy.

00:35:13.080 I think that's how.

00:35:15.880 They didn't actually have slaves.

00:35:18.020 Those people never had slaves. 0.96

00:35:20.160 Somebody 200 years ago had slaves, but they didn't.

00:35:24.240 So if you pulled up on their crib, I'm not sure what you'd be looking for.

00:35:29.320 I don't know if you're going to run in there trying to free the slaves,

00:35:33.240 letting my people go.

00:35:35.080 No more slavery.

00:35:36.100 You can't have slaves.

00:35:37.300 Free them.

00:35:37.720 I don't know if you're going to try to set up an underground railroad from their house

00:35:44.880 to free all the slaves, but you're just going to be shouting at a nice white family

00:35:49.240 while they're eating dinner and they're going to be totally confused staring at you

00:35:52.320 because they don't have slaves and their parents didn't and their grandparents didn't

00:35:56.780 and their great-grandparents didn't and their great-great-great-grandparents didn't.

00:36:00.000 Actually, it's funny because this raises a point that I don't think Roy wanted to raise.

00:36:07.420 It's true that having slaves did not translate into generational wealth for a lot of these families,

00:36:16.000 at least not like 15 generations of wealth or whatever.

00:36:19.600 That's because, for one thing, it's been a really long time.

00:36:23.900 Also, there was a civil war that was fought.

00:36:27.340 And the South was decimated and bankrupted.

00:36:33.680 But also, slavery was a counterproductive system economically.

00:36:42.620 If anything, slavery held the South back.

00:36:46.520 And that's interesting to note because it totally cuts against the claim that America was built on slavery.

00:36:54.060 It was not.

00:36:54.800 America was held back by slavery, if anything.

00:36:58.460 And the other point which a lot of people have made,

00:37:00.860 not that this creepy outburst really calls for us to make points.

00:37:05.640 It doesn't really call for a rebuttal, but whatever.

00:37:08.580 So, the other point people have made is the obvious one, which is,

00:37:12.440 like, why don't you go back to Africa and find the family that captured your ancestors 0.50

00:37:17.740 and sold them into slavery to begin with?

00:37:20.120 Why are you mad at them?

00:37:21.320 Have you looked them up?

00:37:23.460 You can probably find them.

00:37:25.600 Find the family that kept your ancestors were captured in Africa.

00:37:32.060 And not by any European, but by an African and sold into slavery. 0.99

00:37:38.000 Have you tried to track them down?

00:37:40.460 Have you looked them up on Zillow?

00:37:43.680 I mean, that probably won't work.

00:37:45.040 They probably don't live in the kind of home you can find on Zillow.

00:37:47.140 But why don't you focus your attention on them?

00:37:50.860 Go hold them to account for something that their distant relatives did 200 years ago.

00:37:58.400 And it's also funny because, you know, I've gotten in trouble for saying this,

00:38:03.220 but when you think about a guy like Roy Wood, well, you've never thought about Roy Wood,

00:38:09.780 but now that you are for this brief moment in time,

00:38:13.100 and you think about him feeling angry at the family that bought his ancestors,

00:38:18.980 brought them here as slaves.

00:38:20.820 It's like feeling angry at them.

00:38:23.060 Well, it doesn't really make sense.

00:38:27.640 And this is one point about reparations that is rarely brought up.

00:38:31.640 And sometimes it is, but it's rarely brought up.

00:38:34.120 And it's a point that can be easy to misconstrue and take out of context.

00:38:38.520 So whatever, that's fine.

00:38:40.040 But the point is this, that reparations assumes that there is something to be repaired,

00:38:47.740 that your life is worse now than it would have been had this thing not happened.

00:38:55.560 Now, again, even if that's true, reparations would still be retarded, 0.97

00:39:00.360 but it's not true.

00:39:03.040 Like, it's definitely not true in this case.

00:39:05.240 Roy Wood, if his ancestors weren't brought here, I mean, he's still mad.

00:39:12.240 He almost gets emotional when he's talking about it, or at least he's pretending to.

00:39:16.600 A little bit of acting there.

00:39:19.380 But as he's talking about it, you can see it's like seething anger he has.

00:39:24.920 He's so angry about it that his ancestors were enslaved 200 years ago.

00:39:29.660 Two centuries later, he's still so angry about it that he's obsessing over it.

00:39:35.240 But then you have to ask, well, what are you angry about now?

00:39:43.700 Do you wish that it, I mean, if it hadn't, if your ancestors were not brought here,

00:39:49.600 you would be living in Africa right now.

00:39:53.980 So, I mean, you are in a better place now, much better than you would have been

00:39:59.780 had the bad thing not happened.

00:40:01.860 Actually, you probably wouldn't exist at all.

00:40:08.660 If your bloodline had stayed in Africa for these past 200 years,

00:40:12.300 there's a very high chance that it just would have been wiped out

00:40:16.140 by tribal warfare, disease.

00:40:21.840 So, you know, if that hadn't happened,

00:40:24.100 this thing that you're still mad about somehow that didn't happen to you,

00:40:26.500 but if it hadn't happened, then either you'd be living in Africa now

00:40:30.100 or you would not exist.

00:40:33.580 So there's something just incoherent about being angry at something

00:40:37.120 that happened centuries ago

00:40:38.540 and something that without it happening, you would not exist.

00:40:44.160 Or if you did exist, you would exist in a much worse condition

00:40:47.620 than you currently do.

00:40:49.080 Now, does that make slavery good?

00:40:55.160 Is that a justification?

00:40:56.340 Obviously not.

00:40:58.220 And if you take what I'm saying that way,

00:40:59.920 then you're just a stupid or dishonest person

00:41:02.180 and that's your problem.

00:41:06.280 All I'm saying is the fact that,

00:41:09.020 it's just a fact.

00:41:10.080 I mean, you can't dispute it.

00:41:11.080 Roy Wood is almost certainly in a better position today,

00:41:13.280 now, than he would have been had his ancestors not been brought here by slaves.

00:41:17.340 That's the kind of thing that people could get mad at you saying,

00:41:22.960 but they can't dispute it.

00:41:25.120 They can, well, how dare you say that?

00:41:26.540 Yeah, but am I wrong?

00:41:27.420 Well, no, but still, how dare you say it?

00:41:30.440 There's a lot of that.

00:41:35.440 And so it just, but this is a freeing thing, right?

00:41:40.180 Roy, I mean, free yourself.

00:41:41.420 You are free.

00:41:42.180 Your parents were free.

00:41:44.840 Your grandparents, your great-grandparents.

00:41:47.000 So, you know, you've been free your whole life.

00:41:49.580 Your family's been free for a very long time.

00:41:53.160 Legally, you know, legally free, physically free.

00:41:55.900 You can go do what you want.

00:41:57.960 But your mind is still trapped.

00:42:01.960 Right?

00:42:02.460 Your mind is enslaved.

00:42:03.440 You've enslaved your own mind through resentment, misplaced rage, anger, blame.

00:42:11.340 Whatever it is you're upset about in your own life,

00:42:13.340 you're blaming this random family in the suburbs.

00:42:18.140 Right?

00:42:18.660 You even admit they don't have any money.

00:42:20.420 Like, they've got problems of their own.

00:42:22.640 You're living better than they are.

00:42:27.160 And you're just, you're enslaved by it.

00:42:29.820 So free yourself.

00:42:30.500 And this is one of the ways, is to realize that, yeah, well, this thing was bad,

00:42:36.820 but A, it didn't happen to me, and B, I'm in a better spot today because of it.

00:42:44.120 So, well, like, what is there to be angry about at this point?

00:42:47.060 What is there for me to be angry about?

00:42:50.780 There's a lot for my ancestors who died a long time ago to be angry about,

00:42:53.720 but they're not here anymore.

00:42:54.900 They're dead.

00:42:57.020 What is there for me personally to be angry about?

00:43:00.840 Well, not much.

00:43:04.360 Yeah, we talked yesterday about the incident at Gold's Gym,

00:43:07.220 the trans-identified male who went into the women's locker room,

00:43:11.640 and a woman, Tish, confronted him for standing up for herself,

00:43:16.580 and the other woman there, she was banned from the premises. 1.00

00:43:18.960 Well, now the trans dude is speaking out.

00:43:22.620 He talked to TMZ yesterday for some reason.

00:43:25.800 Watch.

00:43:26.080 I told the people that raised me that this is the way that I was when I was eight years old,

00:43:31.980 and really, I stuffed it down pretty deep, and I began using hormones this year in February,

00:43:38.240 and I actually relinquished that information to her about, you know, name change,

00:43:44.900 and it says female on my ID and hormones, and, I mean, I'm registered as a female with the gym, so.

00:43:53.140 And were you at that moment, because she told us about a couple of different encounters,

00:43:58.780 were you fully clothed at that moment?

00:44:01.460 Well, she has become aggressive with me on four different occasions,

00:44:05.340 actually at different locations in Los Angeles at Gold's Gym,

00:44:09.040 but, um, um, fully clothed.

00:44:14.480 I believe I was enrobed in a towel on one occasion,

00:44:18.660 and this last time I was clothed the entire time, um, yeah.

00:44:26.660 Okay.

00:44:27.020 You know, again, I apologize if this is too graphic, but I just think it's important.

00:44:32.320 Have you...

00:44:32.740 Let's speak truth, baby.

00:44:33.940 Okay.

00:44:34.360 Have you fully transitioned?

00:44:36.740 Be clearer when you say that.

00:44:38.520 Um, your genitalia.

00:44:41.820 Um, that is a process that requires quite lengthy work.

00:44:48.840 From her perspective, I'm just wondering if you see her perspective.

00:44:52.980 She's saying that she's looking at you, say, in a towel, and you still have male genitalia, 0.83

00:44:59.860 and, you know, you may be transitioning, but could you understand her being uncomfortable?

00:45:06.740 Well, I certainly do not understand it, but I do get the notion of the fear-mongering that she's perpetuating.

00:45:14.660 Um, so, the answer is no.

00:45:20.220 He has not, quote-unquote, transitioned, even though it's impossible anyway.

00:45:24.280 But, so he's a dude with male genitals swinging all around the women's locker room.

00:45:29.320 Not that it matters anyway.

00:45:30.500 I mean, if he had mutilated himself, that would not make the whole thing any less disturbing.

00:45:38.200 Right.

00:45:38.660 I mean, this line of questioning seems to imply that if he had mutilated his genitalia and was flashing that all around the locker room, that it would be better.

00:45:47.640 Like, if anything, it makes it, that would make it considerably more disturbing.

00:45:53.360 I mean, imagine being a woman and having to see that.

00:45:57.660 So, uh, so, you know, it doesn't matter.

00:46:00.600 What matters is that this is a dude, and yet you see, even as TMZ's interviewing, it's, um, big shock that not a lot of moral courage from TMZ, I would have expected.

00:46:09.420 I would have expected more.

00:46:10.600 I would have expected more out of TMZ.

00:46:12.060 But they're still being very cautious and, uh, and gentle with him, and, uh, they shouldn't be.

00:46:19.560 Right?

00:46:20.040 I mean, nobody buys this act.

00:46:22.880 He doesn't even buy it.

00:46:24.260 And if there's one thing that I can emphasize about this issue that maybe I haven't emphasized enough, I mean, I think I've emphasized everything, every angle on this issue that you could possibly emphasize.

00:46:33.180 But here's an important one that isn't raised often enough, which is that this guy doesn't believe that he's a woman.

00:46:41.760 Obviously, you don't believe he's a woman. 0.88

00:46:43.280 I don't believe it.

00:46:44.000 Nobody, none of us do.

00:46:45.960 Because we have basic common sense.

00:46:47.740 But, uh, leftists pretend to believe it.

00:46:50.120 They really don't believe it.

00:46:51.840 Right?

00:46:52.300 No one on the outside looks at that video and thinks that that's a woman. 0.96

00:46:55.640 Nobody does.

00:46:57.440 But what I'm saying is that he doesn't even believe it.

00:47:00.180 He's not confused.

00:47:01.420 He's not deluded.

00:47:03.180 Despite appearances to the contrary.

00:47:06.020 For him, this is a fantasy that he's playing out.

00:47:09.360 And the callous indifference is part of it.

00:47:11.560 You know, people say, well, how could you?

00:47:13.240 Well, you don't care that.

00:47:15.420 And as the interview went on, they started asking about it.

00:47:17.940 Well, how do you, why don't you care how the women there feel? 1.00

00:47:22.940 Well, it's not that he doesn't care.

00:47:26.780 No, in fact, the fact that it makes women uncomfortable and scared.

00:47:29.900 That is part of the fantasy.

00:47:33.020 That is part of the fetish for him.

00:47:35.840 It's not that he doesn't care that women feel uncomfortable.

00:47:38.120 It's that he wants them to be uncomfortable.

00:47:41.440 That's why he's in there.

00:47:43.300 Like, he gets off on it.

00:47:44.620 So this is a man who knows he's a man.

00:47:49.280 And everyone else does.

00:47:50.420 And he's in the locker room because this is his fantasy.

00:47:53.800 This is his fetish that he's playing out.

00:47:56.820 You know, he says at another point, I can't, I don't know if it was in that clip because I was only vaguely paying attention.

00:48:00.040 But at some point in this interview, he says that he's had, it's actually interesting.

00:48:07.620 He says he's had run-ins with this woman at four different locations around town.

00:48:12.680 And that's something that maybe if the cops were interested in doing their jobs in that town, maybe they would look into it.

00:48:19.020 Sounds to me like a stalker situation.

00:48:21.460 Sounds to me like he really enjoys the reaction he gets from this woman.

00:48:25.300 He enjoys the humiliation, hers and his own.

00:48:29.320 And he's following her around to get his fix.

00:48:32.080 That's what it sounds like.

00:48:32.860 I don't know if that's true.

00:48:34.500 I'm not saying that as a fact, but it sounds like that to me.

00:48:38.280 And what certainly is true is that this is all about him playing out his fantasy.

00:48:43.900 So it's not even an issue of confusion at all.

00:48:48.720 We have less than 2,000 Daily Wire lifetime memberships remaining.

00:48:51.440 Turns out having all-access benefits for life with no renewals is something everybody wants.

00:48:56.240 So here are your options.

00:48:57.580 You can buy one while they're still available, or you could win mine.

00:49:00.980 That's right.

00:49:01.320 I have my very own lifetime membership to give away.

00:49:03.660 Made it ridiculously easy to enter.

00:49:05.440 Download the free Daily Wire Plus app in the App Store.

00:49:07.580 Open it.

00:49:08.340 Tap follow under my picture.

00:49:09.680 And that's it.

00:49:10.140 You're entered.

00:49:10.580 And who knows, I could be calling you to give you my personal lifetime membership.

00:49:15.020 But before any of that happens, you need to download the Daily Wire Plus app and follow me now to enter it to win.

00:49:22.160 Finally, as I said yesterday, you know, wokeness is not really dead.

00:49:26.280 The label is dead, the term, but not the thing itself.

00:49:29.640 And yet there are particular kinds of wokeness that feel kind of passe, feel like they've gone out of style.

00:49:35.960 And that's why this clip, which was actually from a few days ago from some YouTube channel, and it went viral on X,

00:49:41.760 but it feels like a time capsule from, like, the year 2020.

00:49:47.200 Watch.

00:49:49.140 I have a question.

00:49:50.220 Can you tell me what category of fat I fit in?

00:49:52.320 So it's based on your shirt size.

00:49:54.160 So if you are a 1 or 2X, you are small fat. 0.96

00:49:57.360 3 to 4X, you are mid-fat.

00:49:59.140 5 to 6X, you are super fat.

00:50:01.980 It's based on what level of privilege you have in the world.

00:50:05.520 So someone in a small fat category may not struggle getting on an airplane.

00:50:10.000 But someone in a mid-fat or super fat may not be able to use even the airplane extender.

00:50:14.740 So that's where that comes in and, like, the privilege levels of, like, what fat means to different people.

00:50:24.520 Small fat, mid-fat, super fat, mega fat, cosmic fat, galactic fat.

00:50:30.660 I kind of like all the different sizes that they come up with.

00:50:33.400 I think if I opened a fast food restaurant, I would make those the sizes.

00:50:37.920 They sound like value meal sizes.

00:50:40.780 Can I get a small fat burger and fries, please?

00:50:47.340 Can I get a chicken tenders and fries?

00:50:50.560 Yeah, make it a super fat.

00:50:53.060 No, let's do mid-fat. 0.97

00:50:54.600 No, let's go.

00:50:55.340 Let's stick with the super fat.

00:50:58.000 And I appreciate the strategy.

00:50:59.400 It's like a good coping mechanism.

00:51:00.880 And this is a way to rationalize.

00:51:03.060 Because you know what it means?

00:51:03.840 It means that even once you become fat,

00:51:06.280 there are still three or four levels before you're the fattest kind of fat.

00:51:11.660 So you can become full-on fat.

00:51:13.840 You could be a full-on 300-pound, greasy, sweaty, lard-ass. 0.83

00:51:19.640 And you could still feel pretty good because you could say,

00:51:22.140 hey, man, I'm only mid-fat.

00:51:26.600 Right?

00:51:26.940 I'm only...

00:51:28.000 I wear a size of 52 jeans,

00:51:31.180 but I'm only mid-fat.

00:51:32.940 Then you can look at all the people fatter than you and say,

00:51:36.200 my God, look at those super fats.

00:51:38.740 Disgusting.

00:51:39.980 Talk about letting yourself go.

00:51:42.380 Super fats.

00:51:45.160 Now, I know it works the opposite way in the Oppression Olympics.

00:51:48.220 I understand that in the world of fat acceptance,

00:51:50.280 you want to achieve the higher levels of fat.

00:51:52.900 So it's the opposite way, where if you're super fat,

00:51:56.120 you can look down on the small fats and the mid-fats.

00:52:00.740 Right?

00:52:01.100 They haven't been in this game as long as you have.

00:52:03.960 You're a veteran of this being fat game.

00:52:07.060 You're a veteran of the fat-ass game.

00:52:09.240 These other...

00:52:09.700 These rookies over here...

00:52:13.560 Oh, you're...

00:52:14.100 You're only 97 pounds overweight?

00:52:18.300 You're a small fat.

00:52:20.240 You got nothing on me.

00:52:23.060 You don't know my struggle.

00:52:24.320 So I get that that's what they're doing,

00:52:26.940 but if I was a fat person,

00:52:30.100 I would flip it.

00:52:32.460 So as someone who doesn't fetishize the idea of being oppressed,

00:52:37.380 I would...

00:52:39.280 But as someone who does look for excuses to be lazy

00:52:41.780 and rationalize it,

00:52:43.580 and I can be pretty good at that,

00:52:45.280 I'd flip it the other way.

00:52:47.240 And it is funny that, you know,

00:52:50.360 fat acceptance, body positivity has receded.

00:52:54.880 And that's another thing that we look at

00:52:57.200 as a sign of the decline of wokeness.

00:52:59.840 But that really has nothing to do with it at all.

00:53:01.920 It really doesn't.

00:53:03.500 And, I mean, this is kind of the most obvious analysis

00:53:06.600 that you could ever offer,

00:53:08.560 but it's true that the thing that killed

00:53:11.980 the fat acceptance movement,

00:53:13.680 you really don't hear about it much anymore.

00:53:16.840 The body positivity movement,

00:53:18.500 you don't hear about it as much anymore.

00:53:21.100 And some of the biggest,

00:53:24.580 in more ways than one,

00:53:27.100 some of the biggest advocates

00:53:28.080 of the body positivity movement

00:53:29.860 have turned their back on it,

00:53:32.280 have betrayed it by losing weight.

00:53:34.340 Lizzo, you know,

00:53:36.900 Lizzo now is only,

00:53:38.300 is like, she's a small fat now. 1.00

00:53:40.480 She's not eating.

00:53:41.140 She went, she's downgraded. 0.95

00:53:45.440 So the thing,

00:53:46.540 that's what killed the fat acceptance movement.

00:53:48.860 Well, it was Ozempic.

00:53:50.740 I mean, that was it.

00:53:53.020 All of these people came up

00:53:54.580 with these elaborate ideas,

00:53:56.260 these personal philosophies,

00:53:58.520 this whole like complicated thing,

00:54:02.000 this whole, this whole world view

00:54:06.380 about body positivity and fat acceptance.

00:54:08.780 And they started their own cult

00:54:10.840 of fat acceptance and all of this stuff.

00:54:14.480 And all of that was just to justify being fat

00:54:17.960 and convince themselves

00:54:19.060 that it's good to be fat.

00:54:20.100 That's all that any of it ever was.

00:54:23.720 Obviously.

00:54:26.000 And the very second,

00:54:28.160 the very second that an easy shortcut

00:54:30.860 to being skinny went on the market.

00:54:34.340 They all just jumped on that.

00:54:37.360 Maybe they didn't jump on it.

00:54:38.580 Maybe they couldn't jump,

00:54:39.460 but they, they all, they all,

00:54:40.640 you know,

00:54:41.680 rolled onto that option

00:54:44.520 as soon as they possibly could.

00:54:47.460 So the point is,

00:54:48.260 it was all just coped the whole time.

00:54:52.200 Big shocker.

00:54:54.360 People get fat because they're lazy.

00:54:56.000 That's it.

00:54:59.880 This is, um,

00:55:01.520 this has been treated

00:55:02.360 as a controversial view

00:55:04.120 for a long time.

00:55:05.260 I've had people,

00:55:06.220 I've gotten into trouble

00:55:07.120 for saying that in the past.

00:55:09.260 We've talked,

00:55:09.960 I've had like nutrition experts

00:55:12.340 yelling at me

00:55:13.680 because I said that,

00:55:14.720 well, you know, yeah,

00:55:15.400 if you eat too much

00:55:16.120 and you're lazy, 0.81

00:55:16.660 you'll, you'll get,

00:55:17.540 you'll gain weight.

00:55:19.900 And you get all these people

00:55:20.960 that say, well,

00:55:21.400 there's so much more nuance

00:55:23.080 to it than that.

00:55:23.960 And that's,

00:55:26.000 think about the nuances.

00:55:27.320 It's, it's not,

00:55:27.900 it's not that simple.

00:55:29.800 No, well, actually it is.

00:55:31.200 Actually, it is really that simple.

00:55:34.100 If you're fat,

00:55:35.000 it's because you're not moving enough

00:55:36.180 and you're eating too much.

00:55:38.060 That's it.

00:55:38.600 And if you were to eat less

00:55:39.720 and move more,

00:55:40.220 you would lose weight.

00:55:40.840 Like a hundred percent,

00:55:41.620 that's how it always was.

00:55:42.380 A hundred percent of the time

00:55:43.200 for every single,

00:55:43.960 that's physics.

00:55:44.960 That is physics.

00:55:45.920 It cannot go any other way.

00:55:47.400 So anyone who says,

00:55:48.280 well, it doesn't,

00:55:49.020 it's not that simple for me.

00:55:50.180 Oh, really?

00:55:50.640 You defy the laws of physics.

00:55:54.700 Really?

00:55:55.220 What are you,

00:55:55.680 what are you,

00:55:56.580 like a,

00:55:57.320 what,

00:55:57.580 what you,

00:55:59.120 it's like a superpower.

00:56:00.380 What,

00:56:00.520 what is this?

00:56:01.340 It's like an inverse superpower.

00:56:04.900 No,

00:56:05.280 it works as,

00:56:05.920 it doesn't work that way for me.

00:56:10.020 Really?

00:56:10.980 What else doesn't work for you?

00:56:12.220 Gravity?

00:56:13.680 So if I were to say,

00:56:14.520 you know,

00:56:14.600 if you jump off a building,

00:56:15.400 you'll fall.

00:56:16.060 Well, you know,

00:56:16.880 it doesn't work.

00:56:17.640 It's,

00:56:17.920 there's,

00:56:18.240 it's real easy to say that,

00:56:19.620 but it doesn't work that way

00:56:20.500 for everybody.

00:56:22.280 Uh,

00:56:22.640 no,

00:56:22.960 it does.

00:56:23.400 It works that way for literally everybody.

00:56:25.500 Because that is just a law of nature.

00:56:29.140 And this is one of them.

00:56:32.560 So,

00:56:33.080 but all that stuff,

00:56:34.160 most of that stuff has fallen away

00:56:35.760 because,

00:56:36.280 uh,

00:56:36.480 now it's,

00:56:37.480 there is a,

00:56:38.500 you know,

00:56:38.720 people got fat because they're lazy.

00:56:39.980 And now there is a lazy way to become unfat.

00:56:43.980 And suddenly nobody wants to be fat positive anymore.

00:56:48.580 It's pretty amazing.

00:56:50.600 Well,

00:56:50.920 I guess not amazing at all,

00:56:51.820 but it is funny.

00:56:53.080 Uh,

00:56:53.540 okay.

00:56:53.900 Speaking of,

00:56:54.600 uh,

00:56:55.060 being lazy,

00:56:55.760 that's going to do it for the show today.

00:56:57.620 Actually,

00:56:57.960 no,

00:56:58.100 it's not,

00:56:58.380 it's not laziness,

00:56:59.040 but I wanted to do an extra long monologue

00:57:00.580 to open the show today.

00:57:01.980 We really get into the multiculturalism issue.

00:57:04.820 Um,

00:57:05.800 so that's where I wanted the focus of the show to be.

00:57:07.580 So in any case,

00:57:08.140 we will,

00:57:08.700 uh,

00:57:09.360 wrap it there.

00:57:10.700 And that'll do it for the show today.
