Transcript

00:00:00.000 Today on the Matt Wall Show, a Democrat senator claims that the United States invented slavery.
00:00:04.860 This seems to be a common view on the left, and it's nonsense, of course.
00:00:10.020 An honest look at history shows that white people, Americans or Europeans,
00:00:15.400 certainly didn't invent slavery and don't carry unique guilt for the sin of slavery.
00:00:19.840 So today I want to, since they brought it up, I want to have an honest conversation about slavery
00:00:26.440 and take an honest look at the history of it.
00:00:28.220 I think that's important to do.
00:00:29.460 If we want to understand it and its legacy and its effect on people today,
00:00:34.540 then we need to take an honest look at it.
00:00:35.940 We're going to do that today.
00:00:36.540 Also, five headlines, including a vicious assault on an elderly woman by a man who has been arrested up to 100 times already.
00:00:43.640 This guy's walking around, been arrested 100 times already, and now is assaulting old women.
00:00:51.280 And in our daily cancellation, I will be canceling the public apology.
00:00:54.780 We have seen, yesterday we saw maybe the worst public apology yet.
00:00:59.700 And I think it's time to cancel public apologies altogether.
00:01:02.660 All of that coming up.
00:01:04.100 But we begin with this.
00:01:05.080 Democrat Senator Tim Kaine proved yesterday that millennials are not the only ones who've never read a history book.
00:01:11.600 When he stood on the floor of the Senate to denounce America's invention of slavery, here's what he had to say.
00:01:19.040 We need to ban racial and religious profiling.
00:01:23.660 We need to hold police officers and police departments accountable for violent, reckless behavior.
00:01:30.360 We need to promote better training and professional accreditation of police departments.
00:01:35.920 Madam President, why do we demand that universities maintain accreditation and receive federal funds, but make no such demand of law enforcement agencies?
00:01:48.620 And we need to do much more within the criminal justice system, but also within all of our systems,
00:01:54.420 to dismantle the structures of racism that our federal, state, and local governments carefully erected and maintained over centuries.
00:02:03.120 We know a little bit about this in Virginia.
00:02:04.760 The first African Americans into the English colonies came to Point Comfort, Virginia, in 1619.
00:02:11.460 They were slaves.
00:02:12.200 They'd been captured against their will.
00:02:14.140 But they landed in colonies that didn't have slavery.
00:02:17.400 There were no laws about slavery in the colonies at that time.
00:02:22.160 The United States didn't inherit slavery from anybody.
00:02:25.000 We created it.
00:02:26.240 It got created by the Virginia General Assembly and the legislatures of other states.
00:02:30.540 It got created by the court systems in colonial America and since that enforced fugitive slave laws.
00:02:38.080 It was—we created it.
00:02:40.240 And we created it and maintained it over centuries.
00:02:43.300 And in my lifetime, we have finally stopped some of those practices, but we've never gone back to undo it.
00:02:52.880 Stopping racist practices at year 350 of 400 years, but then taking no effort to dismantle them,
00:03:01.980 is not the same as truly combating racism.
00:03:07.180 But I'm mindful of the challenge laid down by our young people.
00:03:11.060 No more politics as usual.
00:03:12.700 Yeah, you gotta love when politicians who've been in office since, like, the War of 1812 come out and denounce politics as usual.
00:03:20.520 Enough politics as usual.
00:03:22.900 You want to talk about who invented things?
00:03:25.420 These are the people who invented politics as usual.
00:03:28.240 You are politics as usual.
00:03:30.540 But anyway, Cain says,
00:03:32.060 The most generous possible interpretation of this seemingly incoherent remark is that the United States created slavery in the United States.
00:03:51.340 So this would be true, of course, in a certain way.
00:03:54.320 But by the same logic, you could say that the United States created the wheel and irrigation and agriculture and Chinese food, right?
00:04:03.020 In that none of these things existed in the United States before the United States existed.
00:04:08.320 In other words, the United States created its own version of all these things in a certain way, you might say.
00:04:15.940 That would be an accurate statement, but also weirdly redundant and unnecessary.
00:04:21.340 And when it comes to the good stuff, like, you know, irrigation and the wheel and other innovations,
00:04:27.820 you would never hear someone like Tim Cain try to give us credit for inventing those things.
00:04:32.300 In any sense at all.
00:04:34.620 Yet with slavery, he's going to do that.
00:04:36.840 The more obvious and direct interpretation of Tim Cain's remarks there is that he believes,
00:04:43.400 or at least wants us to believe, that the institution of slavery itself was designed and implemented originally by Americans.
00:04:51.820 And many people in this country, especially college students, really do seem to be under that impression.
00:04:57.680 I would wager that if you went to one of these protests and polled the protesters,
00:05:03.060 90% of them would say that slavery is unique to America or at least Europeans.
00:05:08.600 In fact, a university professor a few years ago wrote something, talking about he polled students,
00:05:18.180 or for years he had been polling students on their historical knowledge,
00:05:22.320 and he found that a vast majority of his students hold this very belief,
00:05:25.520 that slavery is unique to our country and that we carry almost all of the blame for it as white Americans.
00:05:32.640 This is the message sent loud and clear by the mobs tearing down statues,
00:05:37.360 and BLM activists demanding that white people kneel and apologize before them,
00:05:43.040 and leftists who degrade Western civilization and its achievements.
00:05:46.820 White Westerners, it is said, have a unique reason to apologize.
00:05:50.580 They are the descendants of history's greatest villains,
00:05:53.320 and any discussion of historical atrocities should begin and end with them.
00:05:59.760 That's the way it normally goes.
00:06:02.260 And this, again, is nonsense.
00:06:04.420 For one thing, before we even get into the history of slavery,
00:06:08.540 nobody is responsible for the actions of their ancestors.
00:06:12.800 And one man cannot and should not apologize to another man
00:06:16.880 for events that occurred before both of them were born.
00:06:19.600 Apology is not the way to go.
00:06:22.780 To apologize to something is to take responsibility for it.
00:06:25.680 If you apologize for something, you're taking responsibility for it.
00:06:28.960 You're taking ownership of it.
00:06:31.080 But you obviously cannot take responsibility and ownership of things
00:06:34.660 that were done at a time when you didn't exist, clearly.
00:06:39.160 We can discuss the legacy of these events.
00:06:42.220 We can discuss how they still affect people today.
00:06:44.880 But nobody involved in the conversation today has any reason for guilt or remorse
00:06:51.500 with respect to slavery.
00:06:55.760 Empathy and understanding are one thing, and a good thing.
00:06:59.700 But there is nothing good about falling to your knees and begging forgiveness
00:07:03.300 for actions you never took and decisions that you never made.
00:07:08.140 At best, this is performative self-flagellation.
00:07:12.520 At worst, it is sincere and delusional self-loathing.
00:07:17.980 Either way, in either case, it is not healthy and it is not good.
00:07:22.520 For another thing, the United States did not invent slavery or racism, by the way.
00:07:31.100 White Europeans didn't invent it either.
00:07:34.140 If the guilt of slavery can be inherited from one generation to another,
00:07:40.060 I don't think it can.
00:07:41.960 But if it can be, then we've all inherited it.
00:07:45.100 We are all stained by it.
00:07:47.340 Nobody, nobody in that case would be innocent.
00:07:51.880 The institution of slavery goes back 10,000 years or more to the Neolithic Revolution.
00:07:56.840 As long as human society has had agriculture,
00:08:00.560 it has had slaves forced to do the work.
00:08:04.140 And as we just established, America didn't invent agriculture either.
00:08:08.740 The soil on every continent on Earth, except for Antarctica,
00:08:13.740 has been tilled by slaves everywhere.
00:08:17.880 Slavery was a common and almost unquestioned practice everywhere,
00:08:22.740 all over the world, among nearly all people,
00:08:25.880 for thousands and thousands and thousands and thousands of years.
00:08:29.980 Now, if Europeans did not invent slavery,
00:08:33.580 can they be at least blamed for the formation of the slave trade?
00:08:37.520 You hear that sometimes.
00:08:39.120 Well, no.
00:08:40.200 Slaves were traded as commodities as far back as ancient Egypt or before.
00:08:44.520 For centuries before the transatlantic slave trade,
00:08:47.360 Arab traders would conduct their own raids into Africa,
00:08:53.260 and they would capture African villagers and ship them back to the Arabian Peninsula for sale.
00:08:59.420 Was slavery in the United States or the colonies more brutal or more inhumane than other iterations of the practice?
00:09:06.600 Again, no.
00:09:08.720 No.
00:09:09.460 It was brutal and inhumane, yes.
00:09:11.500 But it would be hard to argue that it was worse morally than the forms of slavery common across the globe.
00:09:20.420 For example, in the sub-Saharan slave trade established about 1,000 years before the United States came into being,
00:09:28.540 so, you know, 700, year 700 or 800 A.D.,
00:09:31.820 young boys were routinely castrated and then sold into forced labor in Asia, Middle East, or within Africa itself.
00:09:42.420 It's worth noting, speaking of slavery in Africa,
00:09:44.900 that slavery in Africa was not fully abolished on the continent until 1981.
00:09:53.460 That's when the last African country abolished slavery.
00:10:00.240 Can we at least blame Americans or Europeans for bringing slavery to North America?
00:10:06.200 When we're looking for the unique guilt part of it, is that where we can go?
00:10:10.520 Can we say that, okay, they brought us to North America?
00:10:13.220 But before, you know, they sullied and stained North America with slavery, whereas before it didn't exist.
00:10:19.740 Once again, no.
00:10:21.080 Slavery was commonplace in the Americas well before European settlers showed up.
00:10:25.200 Well before.
00:10:26.180 Native American tribes enslaved each other, often by conquest and capture.
00:10:30.820 This was a normal part of the culture and life of many Native American tribes.
00:10:36.480 Now those who wish to make the slavery practiced by Europeans seem appreciably worse than other forms,
00:10:44.440 will often claim that Native American slavery was more humane,
00:10:47.840 and that it wasn't permanent, and those sorts of things.
00:10:50.400 Now this may be true in some cases.
00:10:51.940 But certainly not all.
00:10:55.300 In the Mesoamerica region, a slave may have escaped slavery.
00:11:02.560 His term of slavery may have come to an end at a certain point,
00:11:05.940 but oftentimes his period of enslavement would end when he was ritualistically butchered as a human sacrifice,
00:11:12.220 which was a widespread practice in the region for hundreds of years.
00:11:16.320 Don't listen to anyone who tells you that human sacrifice in this part of the world was uncommon,
00:11:21.920 or it was sort of a fringe practice, happened every once in a while.
00:11:25.040 It was a common part of life across that part of the world for hundreds of years.
00:11:33.900 You know, the Chimu in modern-day Peru carried out the worst mass sacrifice of children ever to occur on Earth,
00:11:41.700 as far as we know up to this point.
00:11:43.360 Over 140 children were slaughtered, probably by having their hearts ripped out of their chest while they were still alive.
00:11:48.100 We know about this because we found recently the mass graves of all the children.
00:11:53.000 In another particularly grisly episode, the Aztecs killed and dismembered 84,000 human beings in four days
00:12:02.100 to christen a new temple that had just been erected.
00:12:06.280 84,000 people. Think about that.
00:12:09.440 In four days.
00:12:10.180 And this is before they had modern weaponry.
00:12:12.540 I mean, this is one of the worst mass slaughters ever conducted anywhere on Earth at any point in history,
00:12:18.420 and they did it without modern weaponry.
00:12:21.780 You just think about the brutality of that.
00:12:26.140 And not just brutality, but the systematic brutality.
00:12:29.940 Think about how systematic and efficient you would have to be in killing people
00:12:34.360 to kill 84,000 people by hand in four days.
00:12:37.620 Now, granted, not all of these sacrifices would have been slaves,
00:12:42.460 but the point is that this was not a civilization unfamiliar with brutality and inhumanity,
00:12:49.240 to put it mildly.
00:12:51.800 In fact, Native Americans took part in African slavery as well.
00:12:55.300 They don't, you know, this is a part of another aspect of history they don't tell you about in schools
00:12:59.640 because they don't tell you much.
00:13:00.480 By the time of the Civil War, 15% of the Cherokee population was comprised of black slaves.
00:13:08.760 And Indian tribes could be quite brutal to their black slaves as well.
00:13:12.740 In one case, in one documented case, just as an example,
00:13:16.860 a black slave named Lucy was accused of murder and then burned alive by an angry mob of Choctaws
00:13:25.700 because it was claimed that she had killed someone.
00:13:29.580 Okay, so this is the kind of treatment that black slaves in Native American tribes could expect to receive.
00:13:36.160 I'm not arguing that the slavery practiced by white Americans was, you know, less bad
00:13:41.500 just because everybody else was doing it.
00:13:44.340 So it was one of the first things you learn as a kid.
00:13:46.160 Just because everyone's doing something doesn't make it okay.
00:13:49.500 Especially when it's one of the most horrific evils in the history of mankind.
00:13:53.080 Slavery doesn't make it okay just because everyone's doing it.
00:13:55.700 Slavery in America was a hard abomination, which is why we rightly celebrate its abolition.
00:14:02.700 An abolition that came, we should note, only 90 years after the formation of the country.
00:14:08.600 The United States as a nation had legal slavery for less than a century.
00:14:14.840 Now, for comparison's sake,
00:14:17.200 China had slavery for 3,000 years before it was officially abolished,
00:14:22.340 and that didn't happen until the 20th century.
00:14:23.900 And unofficially, it goes on to this very day in China, and in many other parts of the world, in fact.
00:14:31.940 This, again, does not lessen the brutality of American slavery,
00:14:35.380 doesn't mitigate the evil of the institution,
00:14:37.100 but it does go to show that the exclusive focus on slavery in America
00:14:43.160 and the insistence that white Americans have inherited unique guilt because of it is simply wrong.
00:14:49.260 And I think that, you know, we have talked so much about the legacy of slavery in this country and the legacy of racism by white people in this country.
00:15:03.080 I mean, this is a conversation we've had over and over again, and we will continue to have.
00:15:06.880 But I just think at a certain point, once we've established that there were a lot of racist, terrible white people,
00:15:15.040 and they owned slaves, and it was awful, and, you know, I think everybody agrees with that.
00:15:20.260 And we're going to continue to have that conversation.
00:15:21.740 I'm not even saying we should stop having that conversation.
00:15:23.460 But at a certain point, can we introduce the other civilizations on Earth?
00:15:30.320 I mean, are we allowed to ever bring that up?
00:15:34.920 If there ever comes a time, you know, when we are ready to have a mature, nuanced discussion of slavery
00:15:40.840 and of racism and of their legacies in the modern day,
00:15:44.640 which I think would be a very worthwhile conversation to have, and I would be eager to participate in it.
00:15:49.800 You know, after all, we can't understand where we are.
00:15:51.700 We can't understand where we're going until we know where we've been, right?
00:15:55.960 That's a cliche, but it's true.
00:15:58.440 If you don't know history, you're doomed to repeat it.
00:16:00.680 You know, we can go into all the cliches.
00:16:02.600 All of them basically true.
00:16:03.780 But this discussion is only possible and can only be worthwhile if we look at history with a wider lens,
00:16:10.300 if we understand the context of the institutions and the attitudes that we rightly reviled today.
00:16:16.920 If we have already decided from the outset that whatever happened in history
00:16:21.400 white people must have been especially bad and the evil they committed must have been unique to them,
00:16:27.480 then there's no point.
00:16:28.860 We can't have a discussion.
00:16:30.480 It can't go anywhere.
00:16:32.620 We are like children then making reality into a cartoon.
00:16:36.140 But if we are prepared to look honestly at our history as a species and see that we are all the descendants of deeply flawed human beings
00:16:48.800 who were often brutal and bigoted to each other and who until very recently had no concept of inherent human equality
00:16:57.940 and little notion of racial tolerance, but who also struggled mightily and made great sacrifices and achieved great things for our sake,
00:17:08.280 then perhaps we can have a fruitful dialogue.
00:17:14.500 But only then,
00:17:16.260 only then,
00:17:18.720 when we're ready to be mature and nuanced in this discussion,
00:17:21.820 can any good come of it.
00:17:27.180 And that's my point.
00:17:30.480 Let's move on to your news headlines for the day.
00:17:34.420 Number one,
00:17:35.280 a man named Rashid Brimage,
00:17:36.980 31 years old,
00:17:37.880 has been arrested now for doing this.
00:17:43.480 That is a 92-year-old woman that he randomly shoved.
00:17:46.680 And she fell and hit her head on a fire hydrant.
00:17:48.540 Thank God it looks like she's going to be okay,
00:17:50.640 physically at least,
00:17:51.520 maybe not emotionally.
00:17:53.480 Brimage, though,
00:17:54.040 is an old veteran of getting arrested.
00:17:55.620 He's been,
00:17:56.060 he's been,
00:17:57.780 you know,
00:17:58.040 down this road many times before.
00:17:59.600 Depending on which news report you've read,
00:18:01.860 he's been arrested already
00:18:03.100 anywhere between 60 and 100 times
00:18:06.120 for oftentimes serious crimes.
00:18:09.020 He has a sex offender on top of it.
00:18:11.200 And he's still walking around.
00:18:14.440 So with,
00:18:15.280 you know,
00:18:15.560 with all this focus on,
00:18:17.120 even from Trump,
00:18:18.500 on police reform,
00:18:20.000 prison reform,
00:18:22.900 how about this problem?
00:18:25.220 How about the problem of having violent sociopaths
00:18:28.360 still walking around in our communities?
00:18:31.780 Despite the fact that we know that they're violent sociopaths
00:18:34.820 and they've already been arrested before for it.
00:18:38.100 How about the problem of,
00:18:39.460 of the system,
00:18:41.380 of the prison system,
00:18:42.620 the court system,
00:18:43.580 releasing back into the public
00:18:45.620 people who it knows are dangerous
00:18:49.420 and who it knows
00:18:51.240 will almost certainly
00:18:52.960 victimize more people in the future?
00:18:55.300 How about that problem?
00:18:56.780 Why not some focus on that?
00:18:59.740 How about some focus on that from,
00:19:01.160 from conservatives?
00:19:02.000 How about some focus on that from,
00:19:03.100 from Trump?
00:19:03.780 And I don't just mean
00:19:04.520 tweeting law and order in all caps,
00:19:06.940 like an impotent weakling.
00:19:08.840 And then you go out and,
00:19:10.060 and you know,
00:19:10.440 the first thing he does
00:19:11.140 yesterday,
00:19:11.940 he gives us an executive order
00:19:13.300 on police reform.
00:19:14.560 You think that's the main thing
00:19:17.660 we need right now?
00:19:18.980 How about an executive order
00:19:20.160 designating Antifa,
00:19:21.440 a domestic terrorist organization?
00:19:26.780 I mean,
00:19:27.260 for all the credit this guy gets,
00:19:28.500 he doesn't appease the left.
00:19:29.760 He appeases the left all the time.
00:19:31.480 That's the,
00:19:31.900 that's the dirty little secret
00:19:32.920 about Donald Trump.
00:19:35.280 He doesn't appease them
00:19:36.300 with his tweets,
00:19:37.020 sure,
00:19:37.360 but with what he,
00:19:37.920 what he does,
00:19:38.520 with his actual actions,
00:19:39.560 he's constantly appeasing them.
00:19:41.040 And it's not just them.
00:19:44.560 There are very few people
00:19:46.000 who have the courage
00:19:46.680 to talk about this problem,
00:19:47.840 which is crazy
00:19:50.080 because it's,
00:19:51.100 it's one of the most popular positions
00:19:53.540 you could actually take.
00:19:54.800 It might not be popular
00:19:55.940 with the morons in the media
00:19:57.540 and with far left activists.
00:19:59.400 And it might not be popular
00:20:00.540 with the,
00:20:01.220 you know,
00:20:01.500 the Black Lives Matter organization
00:20:03.140 or Antifa,
00:20:03.800 but with,
00:20:04.900 with just,
00:20:05.360 with just average citizens
00:20:06.840 taking a position
00:20:08.860 that dangerous,
00:20:10.680 violent,
00:20:11.220 known sociopaths
00:20:12.720 who have already committed crimes
00:20:14.060 should be off of our streets
00:20:15.700 permanently.
00:20:16.680 That's a position
00:20:17.660 that would get
00:20:18.220 widespread approval
00:20:19.360 from,
00:20:19.860 from nearly every
00:20:21.420 average normal citizen.
00:20:25.180 Instead,
00:20:25.820 we get prison reform,
00:20:26.940 police reform.
00:20:28.040 That's everything
00:20:28.520 we're trying to reform.
00:20:30.580 This isn't some kind
00:20:31.680 of isolated incident,
00:20:33.320 okay?
00:20:34.780 It's not like
00:20:35.440 Rashid Brimage
00:20:36.060 is the only dangerous,
00:20:38.020 violent,
00:20:38.260 known sociopath
00:20:39.200 walking around the streets
00:20:40.320 casually committing crimes
00:20:41.680 because he has no conscience
00:20:43.160 and no soul.
00:20:46.360 There are,
00:20:47.060 there are many
00:20:47.880 in this category
00:20:48.680 because
00:20:50.600 we,
00:20:51.120 we want to talk about
00:20:52.080 all the,
00:20:52.500 you know,
00:20:52.880 how,
00:20:53.420 how,
00:20:53.700 how supposedly
00:20:54.820 inhumane and brutal
00:20:55.880 our court system is.
00:20:58.280 You know,
00:20:58.920 it's,
00:20:59.220 I think it's,
00:20:59.940 it's normally inhumane
00:21:01.000 and brutal to the citizens
00:21:02.420 which is supposed
00:21:03.140 to be protecting,
00:21:04.740 releasing them back
00:21:06.720 into the public.
00:21:08.260 If you want more
00:21:10.080 examples of that,
00:21:10.780 just go look at your
00:21:11.300 sex offender register.
00:21:12.220 Look at your,
00:21:12.840 look at your local
00:21:13.840 sex offender register
00:21:14.700 to see where all the
00:21:15.280 sex offenders are
00:21:15.920 in your neighborhood.
00:21:16.420 If you haven't done that,
00:21:17.000 you should do it,
00:21:17.460 especially if you have kids.
00:21:18.160 And what you're going to find
00:21:20.480 are,
00:21:20.920 you have a lot of people
00:21:22.260 that are flagged
00:21:23.740 as being high risk
00:21:25.200 sex offenders
00:21:25.940 who have committed
00:21:26.960 violent sexual crimes,
00:21:28.660 oftentimes against children.
00:21:31.000 And they're in the community.
00:21:32.440 You know,
00:21:32.920 they're just living down the street.
00:21:35.360 The hell are they doing
00:21:36.220 in the community?
00:21:36.740 Why aren't they behind bars
00:21:37.960 forever?
00:21:39.500 Why do you ever
00:21:40.360 let them out?
00:21:41.000 Now,
00:21:44.120 if there's any justice,
00:21:45.000 Rashid Brimage,
00:21:45.920 on his 100th arrest
00:21:47.300 or 60th arrest,
00:21:48.860 whatever it is,
00:21:49.400 you lose count
00:21:49.900 at a certain point.
00:21:52.440 If there's any justice
00:21:53.340 at all,
00:21:53.780 this would be it for him.
00:21:55.020 He would never see
00:21:56.180 the outside of a prison cell
00:21:58.740 ever again.
00:22:01.260 But there's no justice.
00:22:02.240 We know he'll be back
00:22:02.900 on the street.
00:22:03.160 If he's not already
00:22:03.820 out on bail,
00:22:04.780 he'll,
00:22:04.920 you know,
00:22:05.520 he'll get maybe
00:22:06.140 a couple years in jail.
00:22:07.180 Maybe,
00:22:08.320 if not a suspended sentence,
00:22:09.500 probation,
00:22:10.060 that's what's going to happen.
00:22:12.880 Number two,
00:22:13.700 I just,
00:22:14.740 I want to show you this.
00:22:15.700 I think you'll be inspired
00:22:16.560 by it,
00:22:16.980 by it same as I was.
00:22:18.040 Here's a tweet
00:22:18.460 from Joe Biden.
00:22:19.780 It says,
00:22:20.520 we need a president
00:22:21.320 who chooses unity
00:22:22.400 over division.
00:22:25.020 Wow.
00:22:26.660 That is remarkable.
00:22:29.780 A real bravery there,
00:22:31.780 you know,
00:22:32.120 to come out and say that.
00:22:33.040 I just,
00:22:33.260 I want to,
00:22:33.620 I thought it deserved
00:22:34.500 its own headline.
00:22:36.060 To have someone
00:22:36.840 who's willing
00:22:37.280 to come out
00:22:38.080 and say that,
00:22:38.700 who's willing
00:22:40.360 to say,
00:22:41.340 you know what?
00:22:42.800 I want unity,
00:22:44.100 not division.
00:22:46.020 I'm pro unity,
00:22:47.380 anti-division.
00:22:48.840 Great stuff.
00:22:50.180 You know,
00:22:50.320 this is why we need
00:22:50.860 this guy as president.
00:22:52.040 Number three,
00:22:52.440 The Hill reports,
00:22:53.340 several major airlines
00:22:54.920 are moving to end
00:22:56.220 or temporarily suspend
00:22:57.380 some alcoholic beverage services
00:22:58.900 in response
00:22:59.440 to the coronavirus outbreak.
00:23:01.000 CNN reported
00:23:01.460 that several European airlines
00:23:03.500 as well as Delta
00:23:04.220 and American airlines
00:23:04.920 are moving to cut back
00:23:05.860 on service
00:23:06.440 of alcohol beverages.
00:23:07.580 Both Delta
00:23:08.060 and American airlines
00:23:09.320 have ended beverage services
00:23:10.380 on domestic flights
00:23:11.180 while some international flights
00:23:13.080 may see services
00:23:14.360 restricted as well.
00:23:15.300 They're basically
00:23:15.840 just trying to make
00:23:16.780 the flying experience.
00:23:18.360 It's these airlines,
00:23:19.400 they get together,
00:23:20.720 you know,
00:23:21.240 I'm convinced
00:23:22.040 they get together
00:23:22.500 in a room.
00:23:23.280 You know,
00:23:23.380 it's like a conspiracy
00:23:24.140 and they do this
00:23:25.840 once a month
00:23:26.520 or once every two months
00:23:27.320 and they just think
00:23:28.440 of additional things
00:23:29.440 they can do
00:23:29.980 to make flying
00:23:30.680 as miserable
00:23:31.220 for everyone involved,
00:23:32.960 as miserable
00:23:34.420 as it possibly can be
00:23:35.660 and they're very innovative
00:23:36.900 in that way.
00:23:37.860 You almost respect it.
00:23:39.000 So,
00:23:39.900 this is just the latest
00:23:40.920 in that effort.
00:23:42.080 Number four,
00:23:42.540 now let's check in
00:23:43.380 with the autonomous zone
00:23:45.440 in Seattle.
00:23:46.520 Let's just see
00:23:47.020 what's going on over there.
00:23:48.020 Here's the latest.
00:23:48.740 Okay.
00:24:09.200 There it is.
00:24:10.780 That's what they're doing.
00:24:13.100 Nothing wrong with that.
00:24:14.920 Orange peel over the face
00:24:16.260 doing karate
00:24:16.880 at an imaginary person.
00:24:19.580 Nothing wrong with it.
00:24:20.380 I won't judge.
00:24:21.500 You know,
00:24:21.740 got to spend the time somehow.
00:24:23.140 Number five,
00:24:23.640 finally,
00:24:24.120 I know I already inspired you
00:24:25.660 with the Joe Biden thing,
00:24:26.640 but I wanted to inspire you again
00:24:28.020 if you don't mind.
00:24:28.780 If you can tolerate
00:24:29.420 being inspired twice
00:24:30.420 in the span
00:24:31.420 of just a couple of minutes,
00:24:32.240 it might be a little bit
00:24:32.840 of an overload,
00:24:33.840 but my friend,
00:24:35.320 Allie Stuckey,
00:24:36.400 reached out a few days ago
00:24:37.900 and she said
00:24:39.440 she was putting this together.
00:24:40.540 I'm going to play it
00:24:40.860 for you in a second,
00:24:41.400 but she had this project in mind.
00:24:43.240 She wanted to put it together
00:24:44.020 and she asked me
00:24:44.780 if I'd be a part.
00:24:45.340 She explained it to me,
00:24:46.140 said,
00:24:46.380 will I be a part of it?
00:24:47.080 And I listened
00:24:48.660 and I just knew right away
00:24:50.240 that it was something
00:24:51.280 that I needed to be involved in.
00:24:54.280 And I'm going to play this for you.
00:24:56.740 Now,
00:24:57.320 just fair warning.
00:24:58.900 You might not like everything
00:25:02.340 that you hear in this.
00:25:04.580 You might not like everything
00:25:05.780 that we have to say.
00:25:07.200 And it took, frankly,
00:25:08.200 a lot of boldness and courage
00:25:09.320 on our part
00:25:10.040 to speak out
00:25:11.460 in this way,
00:25:13.960 saying the things
00:25:15.080 that we say here,
00:25:15.600 but someone had to do it.
00:25:16.920 And so that's what
00:25:17.520 this is really about.
00:25:18.340 It's about someone
00:25:19.220 finally standing up,
00:25:20.840 doing what needs to be done
00:25:21.940 and saying what needs to be said.
00:25:23.640 And here it is.
00:25:25.140 Imagine
00:25:26.720 a world without injustice.
00:25:29.160 A world where we can all
00:25:31.060 bravely say,
00:25:33.200 Injustice is bad.
00:25:37.520 Racism is
00:25:38.860 bad.
00:25:43.980 Very bad.
00:25:45.020 Like,
00:25:45.820 super bad.
00:25:47.080 Until we're there,
00:25:48.280 I'll be the one to stand up.
00:25:50.140 To stand up.
00:25:51.520 And say this.
00:25:53.360 Bad things are bad.
00:25:55.740 They're awful.
00:25:56.960 And I don't like them.
00:25:58.760 I will say something.
00:26:00.700 I will shout.
00:26:01.500 I will sing.
00:26:02.560 Until.
00:26:03.300 Until.
00:26:04.040 The bad
00:26:04.680 is gone.
00:26:07.240 I will fight injustice.
00:26:09.460 By posting
00:26:10.240 a black square.
00:26:12.720 A black square.
00:26:14.840 I will offer solutions.
00:26:16.340 Solutions.
00:26:17.160 Like taking away guns
00:26:18.260 or defunding the police.
00:26:19.780 Like telling working class people
00:26:22.020 just to
00:26:22.600 stop working.
00:26:25.300 To
00:26:25.460 save lives.
00:26:27.980 Promoting socialism
00:26:29.100 so no one
00:26:30.400 will ever be as rich as I am.
00:26:32.340 Finally stopping
00:26:33.380 big oil
00:26:34.360 and the big SUV
00:26:35.860 big,
00:26:37.000 big companies,
00:26:38.560 okay?
00:26:39.020 But we won't stop there.
00:26:40.360 We will take responsibility.
00:26:43.420 Responsibility.
00:26:44.300 The only way we know how.
00:26:46.020 By showing how much
00:26:47.000 we hate ourselves.
00:26:48.140 We hate ourselves.
00:26:50.740 I will.
00:26:51.560 I will.
00:26:52.240 Reduce my pool time
00:26:53.600 by five minutes a day.
00:26:55.160 Give up chicken nuggets.
00:26:56.400 I will stop.
00:26:58.540 Wait a minute.
00:26:59.160 Shave my eyebrows off.
00:27:00.200 I'll do it.
00:27:00.680 Just like
00:27:01.180 completely.
00:27:03.240 Throw myself into a volcano.
00:27:04.680 Waterboard myself
00:27:05.600 with
00:27:05.960 gasoline.
00:27:07.740 Peel my skin off
00:27:08.600 with a cheese grater.
00:27:09.900 And lock myself
00:27:10.680 in a box full of scorpions.
00:27:12.880 And launch myself
00:27:13.720 into the sun.
00:27:14.520 Join us.
00:27:15.620 Join us.
00:27:17.100 And let's
00:27:18.140 change the world.
00:27:21.740 Yeah.
00:27:23.880 I'm just going to pause
00:27:24.760 for a minute.
00:27:25.300 Just, you know,
00:27:25.900 I want to give you
00:27:26.840 a second to let that
00:27:27.600 soak in
00:27:28.840 to really think about that.
00:27:30.920 And it's okay,
00:27:32.060 you know,
00:27:32.320 if you want to go back
00:27:33.400 and watch it again,
00:27:34.860 you can do that.
00:27:36.820 It's not every day
00:27:38.380 that you see something
00:27:39.680 life-changing.
00:27:41.800 And so,
00:27:42.520 I don't want to trample
00:27:43.260 all over it.
00:27:43.940 So, let's just
00:27:44.880 take a moment,
00:27:45.800 pause for a moment,
00:27:46.540 and really think about
00:27:47.500 what you just saw.
00:27:59.740 Yeah,
00:28:00.200 I was just thinking
00:28:00.700 about it again.
00:28:01.060 And I was thinking
00:28:01.540 about what I said
00:28:02.700 myself.
00:28:03.800 And I was inspired
00:28:04.960 by it myself.
00:28:06.140 I sort of re-inspired
00:28:07.700 myself by what I said.
00:28:11.480 Let me just say this.
00:28:14.100 Because you watch
00:28:14.820 that video,
00:28:15.300 and you think to yourself,
00:28:17.900 man,
00:28:18.220 these people,
00:28:19.640 especially Matt,
00:28:20.920 let's just focus
00:28:21.500 on me for a second.
00:28:23.520 Matt
00:28:23.920 is standing up
00:28:26.060 and saying these things.
00:28:28.120 You know,
00:28:28.420 he's getting up
00:28:29.880 and saying
00:28:30.300 injustice is bad.
00:28:32.780 Racism is bad.
00:28:34.900 He's speaking out
00:28:35.820 about all the bad things.
00:28:37.200 Okay?
00:28:37.880 A lot of people
00:28:38.540 are going to speak out
00:28:39.080 against one or two bad things.
00:28:41.360 But he's standing up
00:28:42.300 and speaking out
00:28:42.800 against every bad thing.
00:28:46.540 Where does he get
00:28:47.220 the courage
00:28:47.760 to do that?
00:28:50.560 Why is he so willing
00:28:51.660 to put himself
00:28:52.440 on the line
00:28:53.320 in this way?
00:28:55.420 I know that's
00:28:56.020 what you're thinking.
00:28:56.380 That's the question
00:28:56.960 you're asking.
00:28:58.900 And you're thinking
00:28:59.620 to yourself,
00:29:00.140 is he a hero?
00:29:02.860 You know,
00:29:03.060 is he one of history's
00:29:03.960 great heroes?
00:29:05.220 The answer to that
00:29:05.980 is yes.
00:29:07.000 But I don't want you
00:29:07.640 to think about
00:29:08.040 the courage.
00:29:08.640 Yes,
00:29:08.920 there's a lot
00:29:09.260 of courage involved.
00:29:09.940 But here's what
00:29:10.460 I want you
00:29:10.680 to understand
00:29:11.020 about me.
00:29:11.620 Okay?
00:29:12.980 And this is my humility
00:29:14.080 talking for a second.
00:29:16.340 It's not about courage.
00:29:17.500 It's about my virtue
00:29:19.540 in general.
00:29:21.100 You see,
00:29:21.340 I'm such a virtuous person
00:29:22.520 that when I see injustice,
00:29:27.260 okay,
00:29:27.840 when I see racism,
00:29:31.860 homophobia,
00:29:33.700 ethnocentrism,
00:29:35.080 when I hear someone
00:29:36.980 making degrading remarks
00:29:38.020 about other races
00:29:39.560 and ethnicities,
00:29:40.460 Asians,
00:29:41.200 Asians,
00:29:41.580 Native Americans,
00:29:42.860 et cetera,
00:29:43.440 I can't help myself
00:29:45.620 but speak out.
00:29:47.960 You see,
00:29:48.420 every bone in my body
00:29:49.880 is screaming out
00:29:51.180 against it.
00:29:52.220 I just can't stop myself.
00:29:54.120 Sometimes I wish I could,
00:29:56.960 you know,
00:29:57.440 because I'm putting myself
00:29:58.480 on the line so often
00:29:59.640 speaking out against injustice.
00:30:00.840 But,
00:30:02.580 so this is really just,
00:30:04.320 I cannot stop myself
00:30:06.120 from doing it
00:30:06.760 and someone needs to.
00:30:09.760 So thank God.
00:30:10.700 Thank God for that.
00:30:11.400 Thank God for me.
00:30:13.020 Thank God for,
00:30:14.240 you know,
00:30:14.460 everybody in that video
00:30:15.200 to a lesser extent.
00:30:16.840 And thank God
00:30:17.900 for you
00:30:19.520 that you were able
00:30:21.280 to watch
00:30:21.900 me.

00:30:25.660 Let's move on

00:30:28.540 But,
00:30:29.400 before we do,

00:31:39.600 Okay, today for our
00:31:40.280 daily cancellation,
00:31:41.180 we have one of the
00:31:42.300 most deserving cancellations
00:31:43.540 I have yet carried out.
00:31:44.500 This one is on Coach Mike Gundy
00:31:47.060 of Oklahoma State University.
00:31:49.500 He is canceled.
00:31:50.440 He's canceled
00:31:51.300 for what he did
00:31:53.080 to avoid being canceled.
00:31:54.580 So he tried to swerve
00:31:55.840 around the cancellation,
00:31:57.500 but he didn't realize
00:31:58.440 there's another cancel truck
00:31:59.720 coming,
00:32:00.680 and then there was
00:32:01.060 a head-on collision.
00:32:02.840 And this analogy
00:32:04.120 isn't really going anywhere,
00:32:04.860 but you get the point.
00:32:06.440 So background on this.
00:32:08.860 Gundy faced backlash
00:32:09.940 from the left
00:32:10.640 and the media
00:32:11.200 who tried to organize
00:32:12.300 and foment the cancel mob
00:32:13.840 because he recently
00:32:15.020 went fishing
00:32:15.700 wearing a shirt
00:32:16.800 with the OAN logo,
00:32:18.700 One America News,
00:32:19.640 conservative news network.
00:32:21.000 And apparently
00:32:21.640 wearing this shirt
00:32:22.780 to go fishing
00:32:24.060 with a news organization's logo
00:32:26.680 is an unforgivable sin.
00:32:28.400 Now,
00:32:29.220 the leftists were crying,
00:32:30.860 some of his players
00:32:31.640 were crying about it,
00:32:32.720 everybody was crying,
00:32:34.940 and finally Gundy recorded
00:32:36.200 the requisite hostage video.
00:32:38.920 Let's take a look at that.
00:32:40.980 I had a great meeting
00:32:42.300 with our team today.
00:32:44.260 Our players expressed
00:32:45.260 their feelings
00:32:46.220 as individuals
00:32:47.160 and as team members.
00:32:49.320 They helped me see
00:32:50.640 through their eyes
00:32:51.660 how the t-shirt
00:32:52.760 affected their hearts.
00:32:54.200 Okay,
00:32:54.500 can we just stop there
00:32:55.120 for one second?
00:32:55.560 I'm going to play
00:32:56.080 the entire thing.
00:32:56.720 This is like another,
00:32:57.480 this is round two
00:32:58.160 of the cringe challenge.
00:32:59.700 How the t-shirt
00:33:00.900 affected their hearts.
00:33:02.860 How did he even say that
00:33:04.100 with a straight face?
00:33:05.340 How many takes,
00:33:06.280 how many takes
00:33:06.920 did he have to do
00:33:07.640 to get that line out
00:33:09.620 with a straight face?
00:33:10.760 How the t-shirt
00:33:11.400 affected their hearts.
00:33:15.500 All right,
00:33:16.220 let's just finish watching it.
00:33:18.440 Once I learned
00:33:19.660 how that network felt
00:33:21.160 about Black Lives Matter,
00:33:23.200 I was disgusted
00:33:24.520 and knew it was
00:33:25.520 completely unacceptable
00:33:26.820 to me.
00:33:28.420 I want to apologize
00:33:29.700 to all members
00:33:30.680 of our team,
00:33:31.380 former players
00:33:33.080 and their families
00:33:34.400 for the pain
00:33:35.780 and discomfort
00:33:36.440 that has been caused
00:33:37.840 over the last two days.
00:33:40.360 Black Lives Matter
00:33:41.400 to me.
00:33:42.680 Our players
00:33:43.440 matter to me.
00:33:45.220 These meetings
00:33:46.020 with our team
00:33:46.920 have been eye-opening
00:33:48.520 and will result
00:33:49.660 in positive changes
00:33:51.020 for Oklahoma State football.
00:33:53.360 I sincerely hope
00:33:54.980 the Oklahoma State family
00:33:56.940 near and far
00:33:57.760 will accept
00:33:58.980 my humble apology
00:34:00.100 as we move forward.
00:34:02.160 Pain and discomfort.
00:34:04.500 Pain and discomfort
00:34:05.840 caused by a t-shirt.
00:34:08.660 And this is a football coach.
00:34:11.260 A football coach.
00:34:12.220 I mean,
00:34:12.380 can you imagine
00:34:13.240 how a football coach
00:34:14.140 30 years ago
00:34:15.000 would have responded
00:34:15.700 if his players
00:34:16.840 were crying
00:34:17.480 about a t-shirt
00:34:18.280 they didn't like?
00:34:18.900 I mean,
00:34:20.860 even when I was
00:34:21.800 in high school,
00:34:22.560 you know,
00:34:23.140 I just can't imagine
00:34:24.640 as a kid
00:34:25.380 going up to my football coach
00:34:27.460 and saying,
00:34:28.060 Coach,
00:34:28.260 I just want to tell you
00:34:29.060 that shirt you're wearing
00:34:31.440 is really hurtful to me.
00:34:34.480 It's really offensive
00:34:35.640 and hurtful.
00:34:36.980 Your t-shirt.
00:34:38.640 I really don't like it.
00:34:40.880 It really hurts my feelings.
00:34:42.040 The response
00:34:46.720 from my coach
00:34:49.300 would have involved
00:34:50.180 a string of profanities,
00:34:52.160 a number of choice insults,
00:34:53.540 all of which
00:34:54.140 would be questioning
00:34:54.860 my manhood
00:34:55.560 in no uncertain terms.
00:34:57.880 And then I would have been
00:34:58.920 invited to work off
00:34:59.960 my emotions
00:35:01.200 by doing push-ups
00:35:02.160 and running hills.
00:35:03.880 And maybe it would have been
00:35:04.940 suggested that
00:35:05.540 some form of,
00:35:06.320 you know,
00:35:07.980 some form tackling drills
00:35:09.180 would help me.
00:35:10.720 Drills where I stand in
00:35:11.980 for the tackling dummy.
00:35:14.000 That's how a football coach
00:35:15.120 is supposed to respond.
00:35:16.940 That's really the whole point
00:35:18.280 of a football coach.
00:35:19.500 The whole point,
00:35:21.180 especially for,
00:35:22.780 you know,
00:35:23.400 kids in college,
00:35:25.400 the whole point is
00:35:26.600 for them to be tough
00:35:27.500 and mean
00:35:28.120 and not care about
00:35:29.000 your feelings.
00:35:29.840 That's the great service
00:35:31.140 that they provide
00:35:32.100 and have always provided
00:35:33.060 to young men.
00:35:35.180 If even now
00:35:36.540 they're apologizing,
00:35:38.080 I mean,
00:35:38.260 if football coaches
00:35:39.240 are now apologizing
00:35:40.200 to these ridiculous babies
00:35:42.640 who are offended
00:35:43.460 by a news channel's logo,
00:35:45.780 then we're doomed.
00:35:48.300 There's just no hope.
00:35:53.440 Now,
00:35:54.000 let me try to help out
00:35:54.860 Mike Gundy here.
00:35:56.520 Let me offer
00:35:57.340 the correction
00:35:58.100 that he should have offered
00:35:59.520 to his players
00:36:00.280 for their own sake.
00:36:02.880 This is what he
00:36:03.860 should have said.
00:36:04.900 And this is what
00:36:05.480 anyone should say
00:36:06.220 when the mob
00:36:07.120 demands an apology.
00:36:08.480 So here's the script,
00:36:09.240 okay, here it is.
00:36:10.400 And this is my hostage video.
00:36:12.380 This is my public apology video,
00:36:14.040 sort of a form
00:36:14.760 that you can use
00:36:15.560 in the future
00:36:16.020 if you're ever
00:36:16.840 in a position
00:36:17.260 where public apology
00:36:18.080 is being demanded of you.
00:36:19.420 This is what it should
00:36:20.340 look like and sound like
00:36:21.040 and you can have
00:36:21.520 your own variation of it,
00:36:22.460 but this should be
00:36:22.980 the basic idea.
00:36:24.880 Hello.
00:36:25.980 It has come to my attention
00:36:27.100 that many of you
00:36:28.040 are offended
00:36:28.740 by something
00:36:29.840 that I did or said.
00:36:31.360 I have listened
00:36:32.000 to your concerns.
00:36:33.480 I have thought
00:36:34.080 deeply about them.
00:36:34.780 I want you to know
00:36:36.820 from my heart
00:36:39.320 after careful consideration
00:36:40.960 that I don't care
00:36:43.780 about your feelings
00:36:44.360 at all
00:36:44.680 or your fragile egos.
00:36:47.340 I'm glad you were offended.
00:36:49.360 I hope you suffer
00:36:50.340 more offenses
00:36:51.040 in the future.
00:36:52.580 I will laugh at you
00:36:53.820 while you suffer them.
00:36:55.740 I would in fact
00:36:56.620 rather jump
00:36:58.060 into a wood chipper
00:36:59.000 than apologize
00:37:00.620 to you dumb,
00:37:01.960 whiny babies.
00:37:03.460 I am not sorry.
00:37:05.380 I will never be sorry.
00:37:07.040 And there is nothing
00:37:07.760 you can ever do
00:37:08.480 or say
00:37:08.800 that will make me
00:37:09.300 pretend to be sorry.
00:37:11.020 In conclusion,
00:37:11.940 kiss my ass.
00:37:13.200 Thank you.
00:37:15.100 That's the correct response.
00:37:16.760 Okay?
00:37:17.100 That is
00:37:17.720 not just in this situation,
00:37:20.340 but in any situation.
00:37:22.480 The public apology
00:37:23.680 as a genre
00:37:24.620 should be abolished.
00:37:27.020 Abolish the public apology.
00:37:28.560 Private apologies are fine.
00:37:30.620 I'm not saying
00:37:31.520 never apologize for anything.
00:37:34.460 If you do something wrong
00:37:36.380 to someone,
00:37:37.920 if you hurt someone
00:37:39.180 in some way
00:37:39.940 and you feel
00:37:41.200 genuine remorse for it,
00:37:42.820 you know that you were wrong,
00:37:44.120 then yes,
00:37:44.660 you should apologize
00:37:45.360 to that person.
00:37:46.600 You go to that person
00:37:47.420 individually,
00:37:48.120 privately,
00:37:48.500 you pull them aside
00:37:49.220 and you say,
00:37:50.060 I'm really sorry for that.
00:37:51.640 You know,
00:37:51.940 I'll try to be better
00:37:53.060 in the future.
00:37:53.580 So whatever you want to say.
00:37:55.340 But apology
00:37:56.440 as spectacle,
00:37:58.220 apology as content
00:37:59.640 for the public
00:38:00.440 to consume,
00:38:01.740 apologies
00:38:02.200 to whole masses
00:38:03.660 of strangers,
00:38:04.780 almost all of whom
00:38:05.600 were completely unaffected
00:38:06.660 by whatever you did
00:38:07.580 or said
00:38:07.940 that was supposedly offensive
00:38:08.900 and probably weren't
00:38:10.020 even aware of it
00:38:10.900 until you apologized
00:38:11.740 for it,
00:38:12.660 that needs to be done.
00:38:14.260 That needs to end.
00:38:15.760 That needs to not exist anymore.
00:38:18.700 The only thing
00:38:19.500 you should ever
00:38:19.920 publicly apologize for anymore
00:38:21.560 is publicly apologizing
00:38:22.900 for something.
00:38:23.520 I will accept
00:38:24.220 a public apology
00:38:24.980 for that.
00:38:26.340 So Mike Gundy
00:38:27.000 owes us another
00:38:27.540 public apology
00:38:28.260 for the apology
00:38:29.440 that he just gave us.
00:38:31.240 Which hurt me
00:38:35.300 because of how embarrassing
00:38:36.720 it was to watch.
00:38:38.920 And it also hurts me
00:38:40.040 to see football,
00:38:42.020 which is a cherished
00:38:42.700 American institution,
00:38:44.020 being destroyed
00:38:44.920 by these
00:38:45.540 over-sensitive,
00:38:47.480 thin-skinned babies
00:38:48.540 who are now being coddled
00:38:50.060 by the coaches
00:38:50.740 that are supposed to be
00:38:52.500 getting them into shape.
00:38:53.520 So yeah,
00:38:56.040 you want to apologize
00:38:56.640 to that,
00:38:57.080 that could be the last
00:38:58.000 public apology
00:38:58.580 anyone ever issues.
00:39:01.100 After that,
00:39:01.780 we're done.
00:39:03.260 There is no occasion
00:39:04.300 for it.
00:39:05.320 I've said this before,
00:39:06.860 even if
00:39:08.420 I say something
00:39:10.260 that I know is,
00:39:13.260 that later I realize
00:39:14.740 is wrong,
00:39:16.180 even if I say something
00:39:17.120 that is offensive,
00:39:19.200 and later on,
00:39:20.440 on second thought,
00:39:21.180 I think,
00:39:21.400 oh, that was offensive.
00:39:22.040 I'm still not going
00:39:24.480 to apologize for it.
00:39:26.160 I won't do it.
00:39:27.900 It's not going to happen.
00:39:30.920 Because you're not
00:39:31.740 owed an apology.
00:39:32.640 I hate to say it,
00:39:33.460 you, whoever is out there
00:39:34.380 watching this right now,
00:39:35.540 what are you owed
00:39:36.020 an apology for?
00:39:37.700 What could I possibly say
00:39:39.360 that would make me
00:39:39.940 owe an apology to you?
00:39:43.120 I'm not,
00:39:43.700 I'm not,
00:39:44.060 you're,
00:39:44.600 I'm not hurting you
00:39:45.500 or affecting you
00:39:46.160 in any way.
00:39:47.200 The most I could do
00:39:48.360 is just give an opinion
00:39:49.700 that you don't like.
00:39:51.320 Even if it's
00:39:51.900 a terrible opinion.
00:39:53.540 Okay, so you heard
00:39:54.340 an opinion you don't like,
00:39:55.400 get over it.
00:39:57.240 Just move on
00:39:57.980 with your life.
00:40:00.200 I don't owe you
00:40:00.580 an apology.
00:40:01.520 You weren't really
00:40:02.080 hurt by that.
00:40:03.780 If you were really
00:40:04.520 hurt by it,
00:40:05.000 then grow up.
00:40:06.880 Same goes for me.
00:40:09.520 Okay, if you're ever
00:40:10.260 out in public
00:40:10.980 and you,
00:40:11.380 and you,
00:40:11.760 you say you give
00:40:12.560 an opinion
00:40:13.000 and, you know,
00:40:14.100 you later realize
00:40:15.400 that, oh,
00:40:15.700 I shouldn't have said that,
00:40:16.740 you don't have to
00:40:17.140 apologize to me.
00:40:18.020 What are you apologizing
00:40:18.660 to me for?
00:40:20.580 What is Mike Gundy
00:40:21.540 apologizing to me for?
00:40:22.780 Even if it's a public
00:40:23.320 apology,
00:40:23.680 he's apologizing to everybody.
00:40:25.520 The hell is he apologizing
00:40:26.380 to me?
00:40:26.580 I'm not involved in this.
00:40:30.560 The whole thing
00:40:31.220 is ridiculous.
00:40:33.440 And it just,
00:40:34.340 it just needs to stop.
00:40:35.520 And it's,
00:40:35.840 it's,
00:40:36.100 of course,
00:40:36.380 it's not sincere
00:40:37.200 and genuine anyway.
00:40:38.220 I mean,
00:40:38.560 extracting an apology
00:40:40.120 from someone
00:40:40.800 that you know
00:40:41.880 they don't mean,
00:40:43.020 you're forcing them
00:40:45.240 to say it.
00:40:47.740 What does that accomplish?
00:40:49.040 Other than,
00:40:49.880 well,
00:40:49.980 I know what it accomplishes
00:40:50.720 for you as a person
00:40:51.560 extracting the apology
00:40:52.720 makes you feel powerful.
00:40:56.260 But that's,
00:40:56.920 that's the reason why
00:40:57.920 even,
00:40:58.380 you know,
00:40:58.540 even if Mike Gundy
00:40:59.440 decided that he was
00:41:00.900 really wrong
00:41:03.800 and remorseful
00:41:04.400 for wearing a shirt,
00:41:05.400 which he didn't.
00:41:06.420 Okay,
00:41:06.700 I don't believe that
00:41:07.760 for a second.
00:41:10.440 But even if he did,
00:41:11.460 you know,
00:41:12.980 you still don't apologize
00:41:14.460 because this is,
00:41:15.800 the demand for the apology
00:41:17.280 is in bad faith.
00:41:20.260 These are people
00:41:21.000 who just want to feel
00:41:21.760 power over you
00:41:22.820 and just want to see you
00:41:23.800 dancing to their tune.
00:41:25.000 And you can't do that.
00:41:30.360 So we need to be done with that.
00:41:31.800 No more public apologies.
00:41:33.140 If you have apology,
00:41:34.460 if you have an apology
00:41:35.880 for someone,
00:41:37.080 offer it to them in private.
00:41:39.260 And you know what?
00:41:40.060 If you offer someone
00:41:41.020 a private apology
00:41:41.860 and then they say,
00:41:44.840 in order to accept this,
00:41:47.020 I need you to say that
00:41:48.140 publicly to everybody.
00:41:49.020 I need you to record
00:41:49.640 a hostage video
00:41:50.500 and, you know,
00:41:51.160 put it on Twitter.
00:41:52.180 I need you to say it
00:41:53.020 in front of a camera.
00:41:55.640 Then,
00:41:56.100 if someone says that to you,
00:41:57.660 if that's the response
00:41:58.420 to a private apology
00:41:59.280 you offered them,
00:42:00.680 then you should retract
00:42:02.300 the private apology
00:42:03.200 and say,
00:42:03.740 never mind,
00:42:04.360 I'm not sorry.
00:42:07.540 Screw you.
00:42:08.260 because then forget it.
00:42:11.260 That's someone
00:42:11.740 who's not worthy
00:42:12.280 of an apology.
00:42:14.800 If they're worthy
00:42:15.520 of an apology
00:42:16.140 and it's a sincere apology
00:42:17.400 and there's a sincere
00:42:18.180 moment of opportunity
00:42:19.840 for contrition,
00:42:20.720 they will be happy
00:42:21.620 with your private apology
00:42:22.640 and they will move on.
00:42:26.420 And speaking of move on,
00:42:27.620 we will wrap it up there
00:42:29.020 for the show.
