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
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.

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,
00:07:23.040
destroying police cars, destroying public property, destroying private property, throwing bricks,
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,
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
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
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,
00:14:55.900
who are honorary white people, I suppose, are expected to stop talking so that black people can
00:15:01.940
talk. Muted and Listening. Now, how exactly are black people prevented from talking just because
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
00:16:33.080
and right. That's the narrative. And they're just, they're not going to allow for anything that
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
00:18:08.640
this country, despises this country, despises most of its inhabitants. This is, this is a woman just
00:18:16.220
filled with contempt. You can hear it every time she speaks. Um, she hates a lot of people in this
00:18:23.000
country, really hates them. And yet as an immigrant woman, a racial minority quickly rose to a position
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
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
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
00:20:32.680
woman who doesn't even like America and yet was able to come here and, and very quickly find a
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
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
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
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
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
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.
00:25:33.800
Why? Well, I know because I'm white. I can't trust anything. I think
00:25:35.960
I am just scum. I am dirt. Whatever I think must be wrong.
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.
00:25:53.440
Not true. Um, here are the top six leading causes of death for black men in this country. According
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
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
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
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.
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.
00:29:34.520
And that again is the great irony that all of these pathetic white people,
00:29:39.380
um, self-flagellating and expressing their self-loathing and talking about how horrible
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

with Steven Crowder tonight. So make sure you tune in, Louder with Crowder, to watch that. Now,
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
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
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
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
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
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,
