The Matt Walsh Show - Ep. 502 - The Only Real Privilege Is Leftist Privilege

00:00:00.000 Today on the Matt Wall Show, we are told that privilege in this country is reserved for white

00:00:05.160 people, especially white males. White male privilege is the thing, right? But I think the

00:00:09.920 real privilege in our modern culture is leftist privilege. That's how you get the privilege. And

00:00:15.320 I want to talk about why and provide the evidence for the existence of leftist privilege. Quite a

00:00:21.080 lot of evidence recently. Also, five headlines, including the mob coming to cancel cartoon dogs.

00:00:26.160 Paw Patrol is now in their sights. And Ilhan Omar claims that she is oppressed, despite being one

00:00:33.560 of the most powerful women in the country, she is oppressed by the very system that enabled her to 1.00

00:00:37.740 rise so quickly to power and prominence. That's an interesting kind of oppression, isn't it?

00:00:42.880 And plus our daily cancellation and much more. All of that on the way. But first, a word from

00:00:46.840 Ancestry.com. You know, learning about your family ancestry, where you come from, I think is really

00:00:52.320 important. Also, it's also very interesting. I'm a fan of reading about history. And reading about

00:00:58.200 your own history is one of the most fundamental and interesting things you can do. Now, you may be

00:01:03.140 familiar with the major events and battles of World War II. So many great stories you can uncover

00:01:08.660 there. And the great thing is that in honor of the 75th anniversary of the end of World War II,

00:01:13.960 Ancestry has just released a U.S. draft card collection from World War II, with over 36 million draft

00:01:19.360 cards completed by fighting age men in the United States across the country during that time,

00:01:24.080 whether they ended up serving or not, there's a great chance that you can find your relatives

00:01:30.160 in this collection. You can uncover their personal details in Ancestry.com's World War II U.S. draft

00:01:36.840 card collection, which shows details like home address, physical description, and much more. It's

00:01:41.600 just a lot of fun. You know, I've done Ancestry.com and I found it to be a really easy process, a lot

00:01:47.000 quicker than I was expecting, which was nice. And then it's totally fascinating when you get all

00:01:50.960 that information and you see your own family tree sort of unfurl or sprout in front of you.

00:01:58.100 Discover your untold stories and more today. Head to my URL at Ancestry.com slash Matt to start

00:02:03.560 discovering your story today. That's Ancestry.com slash Matt. Okay, so over the last several days,

00:02:09.300 protesters have pulled down statues in many cities across the country. A monument to Columbus was

00:02:18.780 torn from its base, set on fire, thrown in a lake in Virginia. A couple of days ago, we talked about

00:02:23.940 that yesterday. Another statue of Columbus in Minneapolis was destroyed, despite this statue

00:02:29.700 having been sculpted by an immigrant almost 100 years ago and given as a gift to the Italian-American

00:02:36.760 immigrant community in Minneapolis. They tore that down anyway. Several other Columbus statues have

00:02:44.660 been, as the media so innocuously puts it, removed. Hold on a second.

00:02:52.720 Oh, that's horrifying. There was a spider on my computer. I remain calm, though, for the purpose of

00:03:01.040 the camera. I remain calm in the face of that spider. That is courage and heroism. Anyway, where

00:03:07.020 was I? Yes, statues being torn down. Well, the media says they're removed. If you look at the

00:03:14.280 headlines, they're going to say that protesters removed a statue. No, removing a statue or a

00:03:22.160 monument, that's something that a legitimate authority can do. They can remove it. If it's a mob,

00:03:27.640 if it's a rampaging mob, they're not removing. They're tearing down, toppling, destroying. Okay,

00:03:33.200 one of those descriptions, I think, better captures what's actually happening. Confederate monuments,

00:03:39.440 of course, have been toppled as well across the country. And now the mob has set its eyes on

00:03:45.820 things like the Washington and Jefferson monuments. Activists are now talking about we've got to take

00:03:52.000 those down, too, which anybody with a brain saw this coming. And I would just caution any member

00:03:58.120 of the mob to be careful felling those monuments, especially when you consider that one member of

00:04:08.440 the mob in Virginia was critically injured last night, pulling down a statue because it fell right

00:04:15.140 on his head and cracked his skull open. And he's, I think, in critical condition in the hospital.

00:04:21.700 Lucky to have survived, if he does ultimately survive. Yet, there's something rather conspicuous

00:04:30.000 missing, especially when you consider actually, on top of the fact that this is a crime,

00:04:34.260 it's also dangerous. These are very heavy things that are being torn down by people

00:04:39.620 who don't necessarily have expertise in removing large objects from spaces like this.

00:04:46.540 So, there's something missing in all these videos of the crazed mobs tearing down statues and

00:04:52.960 monuments. The thing that's missing, of course, is besides common sense and decency and a respect

00:05:01.220 for history and a respect for property, besides all that, the other thing missing is law enforcement.

00:05:06.340 And I know it's kind of a silly question to ask at this point, but still, where are the police

00:05:13.120 while these vandals destroy public property, tear down priceless works of art that have stood in

00:05:20.540 some cases for a century or more? You almost have to remind yourself while watching this that you

00:05:27.820 actually don't have the legal right to do what they're doing. The way that they're able to do it

00:05:33.820 so sort of casually, and it takes time to pull down a monument. It's not just something that

00:05:40.520 a person could do on a whim. You've got to come prepared. You've got to have multiple people.

00:05:45.600 It takes time to do. And you watch this and you think, where are the police?

00:05:55.160 I mean, you'd be excused for thinking almost, well, public property. Does that mean the public

00:05:59.720 can do whatever it wants with it? The answer is no. In fact, destruction of property worth more

00:06:05.480 than $500 in most states is a felony. These statues are worth way more than $500. These

00:06:12.060 statues are worth thousands, hundreds of thousands of dollars, probably in some cases.

00:06:16.140 So these are felony crimes that we're witnessing. They are also, as I said, dangerous crimes,

00:06:23.060 as the man in Virginia convincingly demonstrated. But this has been the theme in recent weeks.

00:06:30.560 The police stand by while leftist radicals do, quite literally, whatever they want.

00:06:36.720 In Seattle now, a group of radicals have seized control of several city blocks and declared it a

00:06:44.860 sovereign state. They've set up checkpoints and barricades. Uniformed police are barred from entry

00:06:51.060 because that's something you can apparently do now. The police, in fact, were nice enough in the

00:06:57.020 city to abandon their precinct at the rioters' behest, which is a repeat of what we witnessed in

00:07:03.220 Minneapolis, where the police abandoned a precinct. Except in that case, of course, the precinct was

00:07:08.520 then ransacked and set on fire. Somehow, in a civilized country that was once ruled by law,

00:07:16.520 this has all become a familiar sight. Mobs rampaging through our cities, setting buildings on fire, 1.00

00:07:23.040 destroying police cars, destroying public property, destroying private property, throwing bricks, 0.60

00:07:28.180 invading government buildings, looting, assaulting, murder. And very little effort is made to stop

00:07:34.020 any of these crimes from happening or to punish any of the people who commit them.

00:07:38.680 Now, there is much discussion about privilege in our culture. In fact, the concept of privilege is

00:07:47.700 one of the things fueling these mobs. They're very upset about privilege. They're upset that they would

00:07:53.100 say that someone like me has a lot of privilege because privilege is bestowed based on race and

00:08:00.180 gender. And I, as a white man, have the most privilege of all, according to them. Yet the interesting

00:08:07.640 thing is that I'm fairly sure, and I haven't tested this, I admit, but I'm fairly sure that if I drove

00:08:16.420 into town right now and I threw a brick in a window, or I set a retail outlet on fire, or I looted a

00:08:22.800 convenience store, or I invaded a police precinct, or I tried to set up my own autonomous zone, my own

00:08:29.240 sovereign state in the middle of the street, or if I yanked down a statue or a monument because I found

00:08:35.840 it personally displeasing, I would be arrested on the spot with very little fanfare.

00:08:46.000 And if I resisted arrest and I was beaten or even killed by police in the process, even if my death

00:08:53.400 was unjust or the result of excessive force, there would be no CNN headlines about it. No riots in my

00:09:01.540 honor. No elaborate displays of performative grief from our elected officials in Washington. Nobody

00:09:08.360 kneeling in moments of silence. None of that. Whatever my white privilege gets me, it does not

00:09:16.680 get me that. And it doesn't provide me a past that allows me to rampage through the city, stealing,

00:09:23.280 destroying, looting, and burning. So it seems to me that the greatest privilege on offer in our culture

00:09:29.440 today is the privilege to be utterly immune from the law. This is the privilege that is exercised by

00:09:39.040 many of the protesters. And though some of them are white males, many of them are not.

00:09:46.140 So it is then obviously a privilege that is not dispensed based on race, but it is dispensed based

00:09:53.180 on ideology. This is leftist privilege. A person with the, quote, correct worldview,

00:10:01.720 especially if he is gathered in a group with other correct thinking people, can do almost anything he

00:10:07.620 wants now. The powers that be will bend over backwards to accommodate him and to meet his demands.

00:10:15.840 This includes permitting crime, as we have seen, but also much else besides. You know, consider all of

00:10:22.040 the corporations and brands that have been tripping over each other to express their support for the

00:10:26.800 radical left-wing Black Lives Matter organization. And it doesn't always take a mob to get this kind

00:10:34.620 of capitulation from our culture's most powerful forces. HBO's streaming service, as you've heard,

00:10:40.520 took down Gone with the Wind, the classic film, took it down from its platform because one correct

00:10:46.900 thinking individual wrote an op-ed instructing them to do so. And so they did.

00:10:54.060 This is on the same day that Webster's dictionary edited its definition of racism because a young

00:10:59.760 Black woman emailed and said they should. They apparently got one email and said, all right, 0.98

00:11:05.460 I'll change the definition if you say so. These are just the most recent examples of leftist privilege.

00:11:11.620 We haven't even discussed the many extravagant concessions that the LGBT lobby has been able to

00:11:17.860 extract, including allowing men access to women's bathrooms, locker rooms, sports teams, while shaming 0.99

00:11:24.740 and silencing any women who express discomfort over this invasion of their privacy. Any women who have

00:11:29.900 the audacity to say, hey, gee, you know, I'd rather not have a man right here leering at me while I'm getting

00:11:35.200 changed. They're going to be shamed and silenced. The man's going to be allowed access to that.

00:11:41.280 I would call that privilege. And even though it's a male, it's not exactly male privilege

00:11:47.300 because not any man can do that. It's only the correct thinking man. It's only the man

00:11:53.440 affiliated with the LGBT lobby and the man on the left that is allowed to do that.

00:12:00.460 As a white man, I have not really seen doors open for me or exceptions made for me or advantages

00:12:08.500 given to me just based on my race. It is obvious that in order to obtain these privileges,

00:12:15.020 I have to demonstrate my allegiance to the leftist tribe. I have to have the right quote unquote

00:12:21.100 right views. I have to say the right things. I have to hold the right opinions and beliefs.

00:12:26.140 That's how you get the privilege. This is what our culture's most powerful institutions demand.

00:12:35.040 And this is how they grant privilege, which is no surprise because leftists long ago seized control

00:12:39.620 of these institutions and privilege is simply one of the spoils of victory. And it always has been.

00:12:45.420 If you're on the winning side, you get the privilege. If you're not, you don't.

00:12:55.220 This is the result of decades of the left invading, taking over, seizing control of the most powerful

00:13:05.900 institutions in our culture. What was the right doing during that time? What were conservatives doing?

00:13:12.560 Well, conservatives spent decades, of course, ignoring, you know, the leftist takeover of

00:13:18.440 education and pop culture and Hollywood and media, ignoring that and instead focusing on

00:13:22.800 getting Republicans elected to Congress so we could pass tax cuts and, you know,

00:13:27.380 spread democracy in the Middle East. That was conservatism's priorities for decades.

00:13:36.040 That really worked out, didn't it? That worked out really well.

00:13:40.100 But that's how privilege works. And that, to me, seems pretty obvious now. Let's move on to

00:13:48.760 headlines. There is now apparently a backlash brewing against the show Paw Patrol, which is a

00:13:54.360 show about cartoon dogs. Also, the show that my three-year-old is, every three-year-old in the

00:13:58.980 country is obsessed with Paw Patrol. Leftists are now targeting the show because of its positive

00:14:04.960 portrayal of police. Now, the police are dogs in this show, but, you know, that's a problem too,

00:14:11.400 apparently. And this in spite of the fact that Paw Patrol sent out a tweet a few days ago,

00:14:17.180 bowing at the BLM altar, as you are required to do, and expressing their submission and obedience 0.96

00:14:22.560 that is required of them. Here's a tweet from Paw Patrol. Again, this is a cartoon show about crime

00:14:31.020 fighting dogs. And this is what it says. In solidarity of Amplify Melanated Voices,

00:14:38.420 we will be muting our content until June 7th to give access to black voices to be heard so we can

00:14:43.660 continue to listen and further our learning. Hashtag Amplify Black Voices. And then there's a black box

00:14:50.100 that says Muted and Listening. So this is a thing now, where white people, or even cartoon dogs, 0.85

00:14:55.900 who are honorary white people, I suppose, are expected to stop talking so that black people can 1.00

00:15:01.940 talk. Muted and Listening. Now, how exactly are black people prevented from talking just because 0.97

00:15:09.580 other people are talking as well? I don't know. This is a country of 330 million people. Everybody's

00:15:15.440 talking all the time. You're not going to be the only one talking, doesn't matter what your race is.

00:15:20.860 How are you persecuted or oppressed by the fact that not everyone in the country is shutting up

00:15:25.220 while you talk? And better question, how are black voices amplified specifically by the fact

00:15:35.140 that Paw Patrol's Twitter account didn't tweet for five days? How does that work? Well, it doesn't

00:15:42.760 work. It's all nonsense, of course, but this is just the ritualistic self-flagellation required by

00:15:47.160 the religion of leftism, according to their high priests and prophets. And even though the cartoon

00:15:52.400 dogs did their part, performed the ritual, you know, they're still going to be sacrificed

00:15:57.460 because even cartoons cannot escape. Also, by the way, the show's cops and a live PD have both been

00:16:05.680 canceled. Why have they been canceled? Because it's positive depictions of police. So this is the game,

00:16:16.260 of course. The left is trying to build a narrative, has built a narrative, constructed a narrative about,

00:16:23.540 about, you know, thug police who are villainous and violent and are out, you know, killing people left 0.93

00:16:33.080 and right. That's the narrative. And they're just, they're not going to allow for anything that 0.98

00:16:40.420 contradicts that narrative. They, they want to make sure that anytime you see police on TV

00:16:47.800 is always in a negative context. And then they can turn around and say, Hey, you know, most police

00:16:54.940 are bad. Just look, turn on the TV. All you're ever going to see is bad police. Clearly most police

00:16:59.820 are bad. What they don't mention is that the only reason you only see bad police is because they won't

00:17:05.540 allow you to see anything else other than that. Number two, Ilhan Omar was, uh, was speaking. I

00:17:12.880 believe this is at a rally in Minneapolis, but I don't really know. It doesn't matter. Anyway, this is

00:17:17.160 what she had to say. What I do know is that for the last 25 years, I have lived as a black person in

00:17:26.480 this country. I have lived as a mother raising black children. So I do know what it means to be black

00:17:35.360 in America. I know what our young children go through because I was an adolescent interfacing with

00:17:43.460 the police department here in Minneapolis. I know my silence will contribute to complacency.

00:17:52.100 And I know that none of you fought so hard to get me elected so that I can co-sign on a system that

00:18:01.900 continues to oppress us. You know, it's interesting really. Ilhan Omar is an immigrant woman, came to 0.99

00:18:08.640 this country, despises this country, despises most of its inhabitants. This is, this is a woman just 1.00

00:18:16.220 filled with contempt. You can hear it every time she speaks. Um, she hates a lot of people in this 0.99

00:18:23.000 country, really hates them. And yet as an immigrant woman, a racial minority quickly rose to a position 1.00

00:18:31.760 of power and prominence. She's only, I think what, 37 or 38 years old. One of the youngest members of

00:18:38.080 Congress, she achieved that. Okay. To her credit. Um, but the system was set up in such a way as to

00:18:46.620 make it possible for her to achieve that. And now she turns around and claims to be oppressed by the 0.98

00:18:51.860 very system that enabled her to get into this position. It's remarkable. And also what is the

00:18:59.840 system? You know, what are you talking about? You say the system, uh, oppresses what system,

00:19:05.320 what system are you referring to specifically? Whatever system there is in this country,

00:19:12.660 you as a member of the federal government and you as a member of the Democrat party and you as a leader

00:19:18.140 of the progressive movement are not only a part of that system, but you are one of the people

00:19:23.380 controlling it. And yet you are oppressed by the system, even as you control the system.

00:19:31.860 Again, it's a remarkable claim, remarkable in its stupidity. Ilhan Omar, her story, her life 1.00

00:19:42.500 is proof in itself that America is not systemically racist. Same for Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez,

00:19:49.940 same for Barack Obama. And yet these are the people, the people who, the people who disprove

00:19:56.180 systemic racism just by their story, by their existence are the same ones who are the loudest

00:20:01.820 ones claiming that systemic racism exists. And, and, and I know that, you know, I get it.

00:20:09.560 Anytime. And I'm sure that what I'm saying right now, this is going to be one of those things that

00:20:12.560 media matters polls and they, they put it on Twitter. Daily wire hosts claim systemic racism

00:20:19.020 doesn't exist because Ilhan Omar was elected. Yeah. You know what? That is sort of what I

00:20:23.960 claim. Yeah. I think that's pretty good evidence. Pretty good evidence. When you've got an immigrant 1.00

00:20:32.680 woman who doesn't even like America and yet was able to come here and, and very quickly find a 1.00

00:20:39.320 position of power, pretty good evidence that there isn't systemic racism. Yeah. Barack Obama,

00:20:45.020 black man becoming the most powerful man in the country for eight years, you know, became the 0.61

00:20:49.700 most powerful man in the country, was, was voted in again to be the most powerful man in the country.

00:20:53.780 Only had to leave because he was term limited. Pretty good evidence. Um, you know, it's, it's,

00:21:01.460 it's, that at least is, it's not what you would expect. Let me put it this way.

00:21:06.540 If you didn't know anything about America, right. And, uh, maybe it came here from another planet

00:21:12.600 and you, you landed here and you sat down with a BLM activist or any, you know, any leftist

00:21:21.080 activist and you had them describe America to you and you, and you, you, you kept that in mind.

00:21:31.120 And then you went out and actually looked at what's really happening in America.

00:21:35.200 It would not be at all what you expected based on what they tell you. You would not expect to go to

00:21:45.400 the capital of this country and find people like Ilhan Omar running things. You would not expect that

00:21:51.380 the person who ran the country, the most powerful man in the country for eight years who just left 0.96

00:21:55.880 office a few years ago was a black man. You would not expect that. Um, it's, it's, it's not something 1.00

00:22:05.900 that would be predicted by the theory of systemic racism. And yeah, so that's, that is, that is pretty

00:22:10.980 good, pretty good evidence, I think. Uh, and if it doesn't listen, if, you know, the ability of

00:22:19.280 someone like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez or Ilhan Omar to, to very easily and quickly become very powerful

00:22:26.220 people in the government and culturally, both of those things, if that is not at least evidence

00:22:32.940 against systemic racism, what would be evidence against it? And we know this is an unfalsifiable

00:22:41.000 claim. The people who make the claim, it is unfalsifiable. There is nothing, there is no evidence

00:22:45.360 that you could ever present ever that they would consider evidence against their, their claim.

00:22:52.000 And unfalsifiable claims are illegitimate. Always. If it cannot be falsified, if there is nothing that

00:22:58.680 could ever falsify it, it is not legitimate. Um, number three, as mentioned previously, Gone with the

00:23:05.840 Wind was banned by HBO Max, uh, but it is now the top selling movie on Amazon. And this is, this is often

00:23:13.440 what happens, the Streisand effect and all of that, which, which is great, you know, and I see some

00:23:19.680 people celebrating this, some conservatives saying, yeah, you see the people, the people aren't on board

00:23:23.820 with this. You get rid of Gone with the Wind, they're going to go and, and, and throw their support

00:23:29.220 behind it. And yeah, I appreciate that. I think that's a good sign. But when you hear this as, uh, speaking

00:23:36.160 of evidence of things, I mean, this is supposed to be evidence of the silent majority and the silent

00:23:41.720 conservative majority who they're not on board with all of this. I don't know if the silent

00:23:47.020 majority exists or not, but if it does, I mean, shame on us. If we are still in the majority in

00:23:55.600 this country and yet we're allowing all of this to happen, then that's, that's even more shameful

00:24:03.260 on our part. I would say number four, Natalie Portman has come out in favor of defunding the 1.00

00:24:07.860 police. Very brave stuff, extremely heroic. Here's what she said on Instagram. She said,

00:24:12.240 when I first heard hashtag defund the police, I have to admit my first reaction was fear. My whole

00:24:17.680 life police have made me feel safe, but that's exactly the center of my white privilege. Um,

00:24:23.240 the police make me as a white woman feel safe while my black friends, family, and neighbors feel the

00:24:27.280 opposite. Police make them feel terror. And for good reason, police are the sixth leading cause of

00:24:32.700 death of black men in this country. These are not isolated incidents. They are patterns and part of 0.72

00:24:37.760 the system of over-policing of black Americans. Reforms have not worked. Penneapolis, where George

00:24:41.640 Floyd was murdered, is one of the most progressive police forces in the country, having undergone

00:24:44.860 extensive anti-bias training. Um, uh, I've gotten to the age of my life where, where if my gut feels

00:24:53.000 uncomfortable, I take the situation as wrong. But this concept initially made me uncomfortable

00:24:56.880 because I was wrong. Because the system that makes me feel uncomfortable is wrong. Okay. I don't,

00:25:03.840 oh, because this, sorry, because the system that makes me feel comfortable is wrong. Okay. She's

00:25:08.600 saying if I felt comfortable with it as a white person, then I would know that it's wrong.

00:25:13.980 Yes. Here's what she's, she's saying that I know my gut instinct is wrong because I'm white.

00:25:18.900 My God. Have some self-respect. Get a hold of yourself.

00:25:30.140 The hell is wrong with you people? 0.99

00:25:33.800 Why? Well, I know because I'm white. I can't trust anything. I think 1.00

00:25:35.960 I am just scum. I am dirt. Whatever I think must be wrong. 1.00

00:25:41.720 Uh, you know, of course, much of what she said here is completely wrong. She says that,

00:25:48.340 uh, police are the sixth leading cause of death for black men in this country. That's false. 0.91

00:25:53.440 Not true. Um, here are the top six leading causes of death for black men in this country. According 0.99

00:25:57.700 to the CDC, heart disease, cancer, unintentional injury, homicide, stroke, and diabetes.

00:26:02.340 Police are not on the list. So that is simply false. Totally false. Um,

00:26:07.660 she says, these are not isolated incidents. They are George Floyd is an isolated incident.

00:26:13.600 There were nine unarmed black men killed by police last year in a country of 330 million. I would call 1.00

00:26:18.720 that an isolated incident. Yeah. I mean, that's, that's almost as isolated as it can get.

00:26:26.500 And then, but, but, you know, here's the real irony here. She says that because of her privilege,

00:26:32.920 she is, because she is aware of her privilege, she is supporting defund the police.

00:26:41.740 But no, that, that is a very privileged point of view. She is an extremely wealthy woman living in a 0.99

00:26:49.500 very rich neighborhood. I, you know, with, with, I'm, I'm assuming a gated community. She can afford

00:26:56.220 personal security. I guarantee she has personal security when she goes out and about.

00:27:00.340 So she's not going to be affected by this. You want to talk about privilege? You as a rich person

00:27:07.460 who can afford around the clock, 24 hour personal security, very few people can afford that. You

00:27:12.880 can. So you as a rich person saying, yeah, let's defund the police. Let's take the police out of these

00:27:17.280 poor communities. So that, so that, you know, you know, mothers and families are going to have nobody

00:27:24.720 to call in the event of them being victims of crime. You want to talk about privileged. That's the

00:27:32.900 privileged perspective. If you want to defy your privilege or, or, you know, take a position contrary

00:27:43.780 to your privilege, then you would say that, Hey, listen, even though I'm rich and I can afford personal

00:27:48.240 security, I know most people can't. And so that's why I support the police because by and large, in the

00:27:55.100 vast majority of cases, they are protecting people, black, white, or otherwise. And I think that poor

00:28:02.320 people in these communities deserve to be protected. They deserve to have law enforcement. They shouldn't

00:28:06.840 be, you know, I don't want to see these communities burned to the ground and in the grips of chaos and

00:28:11.620 anarchy. I don't want to see it even though, even though it doesn't affect me because I'm rich, I

00:28:15.240 don't want to see it. So if you really cared about seeing past your privilege, that would be the

00:28:23.000 position you would take. Five, finally, speaking of Instagram, white influencers on the site are 0.60

00:28:28.800 showing their solidarity with Black Lives Matter by posting blackface photos of themselves.

00:28:35.140 Surprisingly noted Instagram influencer, Ralph Northam has yet to join this trend. But here's one

00:28:40.940 example of it. Here's this one that was posted. And the caption says, I wish I was black today more

00:28:50.780 than ever. Sending my love and full support to the people who demand equality and justice for all

00:28:55.700 races anywhere in the world. Hashtag no justice, no peace. Hashtag George Floyd. Hashtag Black Lives

00:29:01.320 Matter. Hashtag USA. Hashtag police state. Hashtag white supremacy. Hashtag America. Hashtag justice.

00:29:07.120 Hashtag peace. Hashtag love. Hashtag color. Hashtag race. Hashtag black. Hashtag strange fruit.

00:29:14.480 And then she's got that picture there. I don't know if that's a blackface photo of her or it's just

00:29:20.460 another photo that she found of somebody else. And maybe it's not blackface. I don't know. 0.51

00:29:24.140 Um, but, uh, I wish I was black today more than ever.

00:29:30.100 Oh, uh, shockingly, this, this did not resonate. 0.99

00:29:34.520 And that again is the great irony that all of these pathetic white people, 0.99

00:29:39.380 um, self-flagellating and expressing their self-loathing and talking about how horrible 1.00

00:29:45.560 they are and everything. It doesn't, it's, it almost always backfires.

00:29:54.260 Okay. Finally, let's go to our daily cancellation. Before we do that,

00:29:58.460 you know, there's so much going on in the news this year, hard to know where to even begin and

00:30:04.040 trying to sort through all of it. And then of course you have the left-wing media constantly

00:30:07.380 lying about it and pushing their agenda. You can't trust them. I mean, speaking of that,

00:30:11.840 the, the, the radicals, the insurrectionists in Seattle that have set up their own sovereign state

00:30:18.840 in the middle of a city taken over city blocks, this is basically not being reported by the

00:30:25.400 mainstream media. There's very little about it. Now compare that to what happened when you had some

00:30:32.060 armed militiamen, right-wingers in, where was it? In Oregon, you know, a few years ago, they took over

00:30:38.060 some uninhabited plot of land in the middle of nowhere. Nobody was around the media freaked out.

00:30:45.080 The left freaked out. And now you've got insurrections in the middle of a city taking

00:30:51.260 it over and there's nothing. So that's just an example of left-wing bias. And it's why you can't

00:30:55.980 expect to get the real story from the left-wing media. You have to go outside the narrative and

00:31:00.640 get the facts. So if you're a political junkie set on getting both sides of the story, get a reader's

00:32:01.420 finally, with our daily cancellation today, this is going to be just a quick one. I'm going to be

00:32:07.520 canceling the Democratic Party. Now, it may seem a little obvious for me to be canceling the

00:32:12.360 Democrats. That's, after all, all I ever do on this show basically every single day. But this is

00:32:18.200 different. I'm canceling them in the spirit of today, the spirit of this moment in our culture.

00:32:24.300 As mobs are going around, tearing down statues and monuments that they perceive to be monuments

00:32:31.740 to racism, relics of our racist past, well, then they should join me. On that note, they should

00:32:40.940 join me in canceling the Democrat Party because there is no greater relic or more powerful relic

00:32:48.620 monument to our racist past than the Democrat Party itself. Now, I know that this is a point

00:32:57.340 that is very often made, which is why I don't need to dwell on it. But I do feel like it should

00:33:03.800 be made, again, in a situation like this. This is kind of the, at least among Democrats,

00:33:11.280 it's the elephant in the room. As we're going around tearing down Confederate monuments and

00:33:18.460 Democrats are cheering it on, Democrats are the ones doing it. Well, we should mention that all of

00:33:24.480 those Confederates were all Democrats. And, you know, Nancy Pelosi, I think, yesterday came out and

00:33:33.200 said that all the Confederate soldier monuments in D.C. need to come down. She wants to see those 0.97

00:33:40.000 taken down immediately. Okay, well, you've been in office for, I think, approximately 650 years.

00:33:51.240 You've been in office for 650 years or thereabouts, close enough, a long time. And you're just now

00:34:00.360 getting offended over these monuments. You had all that time to be offended and to say, let's take

00:34:05.000 them down. And just now you're getting offended. Right. So it's all, it's all performative and fake

00:34:12.360 anyway, but as, as we know, but even still, the Democrat party is the party of racism. It's the 0.95

00:34:19.080 party of Jim Crow. It's a party of segregationism. Uh, it's a party that the party that opposed equal 0.57

00:34:24.360 rights. All that's a fact. Now you could try to claim that it's, they've changed their ways and

00:34:32.360 it's very different. And, you know, basically the Democrat party and Republican party switched

00:34:36.120 places at some point, somehow not exactly explaining how that worked, but, uh, that's what

00:34:41.180 you can claim. It's not like that anymore. Now I think that's wrong. Actually. I think the Democrat

00:34:47.140 party still is victimizing minority communities, supporting, for example, abortion, which as we've 0.52

00:34:57.440 discussed this week has wiped out many millions of minorities, uh, the abortion industry, which

00:35:05.720 especially targets poor communities, which are very often minority communities. So I, you know,

00:35:12.620 I, I don't think the Democrat party when it comes to racism and when it comes to her treatment of 0.70

00:35:16.000 minorities, I don't think they've changed that much actually, but whether they have or not a statue

00:35:22.680 statue, statue is not hurting anybody. It's not like the statue is out actively oppressing anyone.

00:35:30.100 So it's not enough to say that, oh, the Democrat party, they're not like that anymore.

00:35:34.460 They're not, they're not actively harming minorities now. Again, I think that, I think they are,

00:35:39.180 but even if they aren't, well, the statue is not harming anyone either. It's just a statue.

00:35:43.820 So if this is all about tearing down based on history, based on something's history,

00:35:48.980 what it's rooted in, then I think you cannot exempt the Democrat party. The Democrat party should be

00:35:54.720 canceled, torn down. You know, if the left wants to make a new political party, but the Democrat

00:36:00.540 party, I think it's, it's history of racism is, uh, is just too, too offensive, too traumatic,

00:36:06.720 and should be canceled on those grounds. So I trust that, uh, in this cancellation, the left will,

00:36:12.880 will join me, uh, if they really mean what they say, which of course means that they won't be

00:36:18.400 joining me at all. But I thought I'd try. And we'll leave it there for today. Thanks for watching,
