The Matt Walsh Show - Ep. 515 - The BLM Fraud

00:00:00.000 Today on the Matt Wall Show, Black Lives Matter is a far-left political group with

00:00:04.260 far-left political goals. It's really that simple. It's not concerned at all with preserving black

00:00:08.660 life. We're going to talk about that today. We're going to talk about what Black Lives Matter

00:00:11.700 actual agenda is, because I think that's important. Also, five headlines, including

00:00:17.060 mentally unbalanced college students saying that they are too traumatized to return to school

00:00:21.940 because one of the students at the school tweeted a joke about George Floyd, and now they're too

00:00:27.100 scared to go back. This is real. We'll talk about that. And some Jimmy John's employees were fired

00:00:32.260 for making an allegedly racist video. The only problem is that there's nothing racist in the

00:00:38.740 video at all, yet they've been fired anyway and smeared as racist. So all of that on the way.

00:00:44.220 But before we get to anything else, the show today is brought to you by our friends at LifeLock.

00:00:49.200 You know, having your identity stolen, it's not just a sort of a scary experience. It's also a

00:00:54.120 huge hassle, if you've ever been through this, to try to get it, to try to undo the damage.

00:00:59.100 Cyber criminals are not going to let the COVID-19 crisis stop them from using tax fraud to take

00:01:05.180 what is not theirs, what doesn't belong to them. With the extension of the tax filing date to July 15th,

00:01:10.020 there's expected to be a rise in tax-related identity fraud. The types of tax-related fraud vary,

00:01:16.960 but remember, the IRS will not contact you directly by email or text message or other online

00:01:22.600 platforms. So if you get something like that, it's going to be an identity thief.

00:01:27.820 Identity thieves are getting smarter all the time. And as people learn about one scheme,

00:01:35.120 well, they're just hatching another scheme now. That's why you need comprehensive protection,

00:01:38.640 especially during tax season, when so much of your most vital private information is being shared.

00:01:44.300 That's why it's so great that LifeLock is there. LifeLock is a leader in identity theft protection.

00:01:49.500 LifeLock detects a wide range of identity theft threats, and they're going to, like your social

00:01:54.820 security number being for sale on the dark web, whatever it is, and they're going to alert you

00:01:58.780 to that and take care of it. Remember, no one can prevent all identity theft or monitor all

00:02:03.340 transactions at all businesses. LifeLock can see threats that you might miss on your own. So join

00:02:07.840 now and save up to 25% on your first year. Go to LifeLock.com slash Walsh. That's LifeLock.com slash

00:02:15.820 Walsh for 25% off. Okay, alleged news anchor Don Lemon had a pretty fascinating exchange with Terry

00:02:24.440 Cruz last night on his alleged news program. Terry Cruz is an actor, TV host, TV personality,

00:02:32.300 also a black man who has had the courage to speak out in recent weeks about the real threats that

00:02:40.600 are faced by the black community. Cruz's point has been that the police are not the main problem by

00:02:47.860 a long shot. If we're going to talk about Black Lives Matter, we need to talk about all of the black 1.00

00:02:53.580 victims of violence, most of whom are victims of violence perpetrated by other black men. That's 0.95

00:02:59.980 the reality. Now, Don Lemon doesn't like that. He doesn't want to talk about that. Don Lemon is

00:03:06.160 generally opposed to integrity and intellectual courage in all its forms. So if he sees that,

00:03:12.300 he's going to have a problem with it, especially now. So here is Lemon explaining his point of view.

00:03:20.480 Really, it should be Terry Cruz explaining his point of view because he's the one on for the

00:03:24.020 interview. But instead, it's Don Lemon explaining his point of view, and it's extremely revealing.

00:03:29.980 I think. Listen to this. The Black Lives Matter movement was started because it was talking about

00:03:35.000 police brutality. If you want an all Black Lives Matter movement that talks about gun violence 0.99

00:03:40.380 in communities, including, you know, black communities, then start that movement with

00:03:45.660 that name. But that's not what Black Lives Matter is about. It's not an all-encompassing.

00:03:51.120 So if you're talking about, if someone started a movement that said,

00:03:54.500 cancer matters, and then someone comes in and says, why aren't you talking about HIV? It's not

00:04:00.580 the same thing. We're talking about cancer. So the Black Lives Matter movement is about police 1.00

00:04:05.920 brutality and injustice in that manner, not about what's happening in black neighborhoods.

00:04:11.640 If you, there are people who are working on that issue. And if you want to start that issue,

00:04:16.540 why don't you start it? Do you understand what I'm saying?

00:04:20.340 But when you look at the organization, police brutality is not the only thing they're talking

00:04:26.920 about. I know that. I agree. But that's not what the Black Lives Matter movement is about, Terry. 0.90

00:04:32.320 Black Lives Matter is about police brutality and about criminal justice. It's not about

00:04:37.360 what happens in communities when it comes to crime, black on black crime. People who live near each 0.99

00:04:43.480 other, black people kill each other. Same as whites. Eighty-some percent of white people 1.00

00:04:47.900 are killed by white people because of proximity. It's the same thing with black people. It happens 0.99

00:04:53.080 in every single neighborhood. But that doesn't, again, I'm not saying that's not important that

00:04:57.260 those kids die, but it's a different movement.

00:05:00.640 Lemon seems to really be struggling there with the concept of an interview,

00:05:04.660 because normally an interview is a thing where you ask questions to the interviewee and then you

00:05:10.700 give him a chance to answer. That's what the interview is supposed to be. Instead, Lemon

00:05:14.840 pontificates and then continues pontificating even as the interviewee is trying to respond.

00:05:21.220 That's the way Lemon handles this. No wonder CNN's ratings have taken a dive ever since people

00:05:25.520 stopped going to airports because they didn't have the captive audience anymore. Who would ever

00:05:29.700 actually choose to watch this in their own home on their own time? That's what I don't understand.

00:05:36.580 But what he says there is illustrative, I think. He actually says, now you heard it for yourself.

00:05:43.780 I'm not exaggerating. This isn't hyperbole or misquoting. He actually says that Black Lives

00:05:50.800 Matter does not mean all Black Lives Matter. He actually says that. So forget all lives matter. 1.00

00:05:59.460 We know we're not supposed to say that. It isn't even all Black Lives Matter, according to Don Lemon.

00:06:04.680 It's only about the very, very, very small percentage of Black people who are killed by police.

00:06:11.880 That's all we're talking about. They're the ones we're supposed to be focused on, according to Don

00:06:16.400 Lemon. Now, the problem for Lemon is that BLM has a website where it outlines its mission statement and

00:06:24.200 the things that it's concerned about and fighting for. It's guiding beliefs and principles. And what you

00:06:29.920 find there is an extremely wide range of issues, not just police brutality. That is not the exclusive

00:06:37.100 focus of Black Lives Matter at all. It also, by the way, literally says all Black Lives Matter.

00:06:43.620 It identifies that as one of its guiding principles from the website. It says, we are guided by the fact

00:06:48.900 that all Black Lives Matter. Direct quote from BLM's website. So contra Lemon, BLM does in fact claim

00:06:58.680 that it's representing all Black Lives and it's fighting for all Black Lives. Now, it doesn't 0.99

00:07:04.500 actually do that, not even close. But it does claim that that is its mission and its motivation.

00:07:11.600 And that's the point that Terry Crews and many others are trying to make if you let them speak

00:07:15.540 without talking over them. If you say Black Lives Matter, and you say that's what you're fighting 0.96

00:07:21.380 for, then what about all these Black Lives over here, these lives that are being destroyed on a 0.99

00:07:26.900 daily basis? How can you ignore them if you're fighting for all Black Lives? At least five children 0.99

00:07:35.220 were killed just this past weekend in our cities. I think actually it was six children. An eight-year-old

00:07:41.700 was killed in Atlanta, shot while she was in her car. A 13-year-old was killed in a carjacking

00:07:47.060 in California. 16-year-old was shot in the face in Rochester. More than a dozen other people were

00:07:53.420 shot in Rochester over the weekend. Nine people were shot in Baltimore. 69 were shot, 16 killed in

00:08:01.580 Chicago. 25 were shot in Atlanta. This is all in one weekend. One weekend of activity.

00:08:11.060 Thousands of Black people are murdered every year. And in some weekends, as we see, you have dozens

00:08:18.140 in a span of 24 hours or 48 hours. Over 7,000 Black people were killed in the year 2018, for example.

00:08:25.520 And Black people are murdered at a rate six times higher. According to DOJ statistics, 0.52

00:08:34.720 Black people are murdered at a rate six times higher than white people. Six times. But over 90% 1.00

00:08:44.060 of those murders are carried out by people in their own communities and of their own race. That's the

00:08:50.220 reality. And it is just the absolute height of absurdity and fraudulence to have a Black Lives 1.00

00:08:57.620 Matter movement that ignores all of this. Especially when you consider all of the other things besides

00:09:06.860 police brutality that BLM focuses on. And I want to go through some of those things in just a second.

00:09:14.620 But before we do, I want to tell you about some new sponsors we're very excited about on the show,

00:09:19.900 Blink Sale. You know, the quintessential American dream is owning and building a successful business.

00:09:25.880 But as many business owners know, there are so many moving parts, so many things going on,

00:09:30.560 it can be hard to manage everything and still stay on track doing what you love and doing what you need

00:09:36.180 to do to run your business. A big part of that is invoicing. You know, have you ever had to hassle a

00:09:41.260 client that owed you money or gotten lost trying to keep track of your invoices and payments?

00:09:46.360 Maybe you just made a basic template in Microsoft Word and you hate how ugly it is and how sort of

00:09:51.920 clunky and difficult to use it is. That's why you need Blink Sale. They have built an invoicing software

00:09:58.060 that helps you stay on top of your money, keep track of everything in one place, so you can stop

00:10:02.800 sending those nagging emails to get you paid for your work. It's just a lot easier this way. I mean,

00:10:07.800 with Blink Sale, you can send beautiful custom branded invoices and estimates in seconds. You

00:10:12.540 can stay on top of your outstanding invoices. You can let your customers and clients easily pay for

00:10:17.620 your invoices online. You'll even get instant notifications where the customer opens your

00:10:22.700 invoice and so you'll know that they actually did see it. So forget about using invoice templates or

00:10:29.960 stressing about coordinating a bunch of different software programs. Blink Sale takes care of all of

00:10:35.240 that for you. And the main thing for me is you don't have the awkwardness of sending the emails

00:10:39.980 over and over and over again. That's the best part. As an added bonus, Blink Sale is giving away $10

00:11:22.840 spend less time billing and more time doing what you love. Okay, so BLM,

00:11:28.340 let me read their mission statement to you, okay, right from their website. It says,

00:11:36.780 we are guided by the fact that all black lives matter, regardless of actual or perceived sexual

00:11:43.420 identity, gender identity, gender expression, economic status, ability, disability, religious

00:11:50.060 beliefs or disbeliefs, immigration status or location. We make space for transgender brothers

00:11:56.800 and sisters to participate and lead. We are self-reflexive and do the work required to

00:12:02.400 dismantle cisgender privilege and uplift black trans folks, especially black trans women who

00:12:08.680 continue to be disproportionately impacted by trans antagonistic violence. We build a space that affirms

00:12:14.900 black women and is free from sexism, misogyny and environments in which men are centered. 0.95

00:12:19.500 We practice empathy. We engage comrades with the intent to learn about and connect with their

00:12:29.280 contexts, to learn about and connect with their contexts. You know, I just want to connect with

00:12:38.300 your context. That sounds vaguely sexual, doesn't it? It sounds very euphemistic.

00:12:46.100 We make our spaces family friendly and enable parents to fully participate with their children.

00:12:52.140 We dismantle the patriarchal practice that requires mothers to work double shifts so that they can

00:12:57.240 mother in private, even as they participate in public justice work. We disrupt the Western prescribed 0.95

00:13:04.260 nuclear family structure by supporting each other as extended families and villages that collectively care

00:13:10.520 for one another. We foster a queer affirming network. When we do, we do so with the intention of freeing

00:13:19.680 ourselves from the tight grip of heteronormative thinking, or rather the belief that all in the

00:13:24.620 world are heterosexual. We cultivate an intergenerational and communal network free from ageism.

00:13:30.820 We believe that all people, regardless of age, show up with the capacity to lead and learn.

00:13:35.200 Okay. So, and that's just part of it. Okay. So we're talking about trans people. We're talking

00:13:45.000 about, actually, we're talking about an awful lot about trans people for some reason. We're talking

00:13:49.840 about sexism. We're talking about the patriarchy. We're talking about unfair working conditions. We're

00:13:55.420 talking about ageism. We're talking about disrupting the nuclear family. We're talking about getting rid of

00:14:02.460 heteronormative thinking. We're talking about cisgender privilege. And then elsewhere on the

00:14:08.800 website, it also says they're focused on environmental injustice, economic injustice, access to healthcare,

00:14:14.600 access to quality education, voting rights, voter suppression. So that's like 14 things, I think,

00:14:20.580 14 or 15. And that's just a sampling. It is a veritable cornucopia of issues that they are

00:14:27.940 talking about. Mostly far left issues, often extremely far left issues. Dismantling the nuclear family, 0.94

00:14:40.840 heteronormative thinking. This is far, far, far, far left. A bunch of stuff that you'd expect a white girl 1.00

00:14:50.160 girl in a gender studies class to care about. If you polled the average black person in America, 0.99

00:15:00.100 if you had a thousand black people polled at random, do you think that they would cite these

00:15:07.580 as high priorities in their lives? Are these the things they're waking up worried about and focused on?

00:15:13.600 Cisgender privilege and heteronormative thinking? The average black person, if you were to ask them,

00:15:22.360 you know, what are the things that are most important to you? How many are going to say

00:15:26.060 dismantling cisgender privilege? How many of the average white person is going to answer that way?

00:15:33.080 The answer is almost none. Now, I haven't conducted this poll, but that's, I think, a very fair

00:15:43.740 assumption. Because these are the goals and desires and priorities of far left political activists.

00:15:54.120 And yet, amid all of these issues, despite the extremely wide lens that BLM is using here,

00:16:06.080 they can't make room anywhere on the website to even mention the problem of black children being 1.00

00:16:12.380 slaughtered in the street by criminals. They've got time to talk about cisgender privilege. 0.97

00:16:18.080 Somehow, cisgender privilege is a bigger affront to black lives and to the dignity of black life 0.98

00:16:30.000 than black children being killed in the street in carjackings. They have no space for that. They 0.99

00:16:37.120 have no space for the thousands of other black people who are killed every year. They don't mention 0.90

00:16:41.420 it. It doesn't come up anywhere, ever. The sad fact of the matter is that Black Lives Matter is a very 0.95

00:16:51.980 necessary message. Because black lives are indeed devalued and discarded on a routine basis in this

00:16:59.540 country. But that devaluing and that discarding is happening almost all of the time in the vast, vast

00:17:09.520 majority of cases within the black community itself. There is no getting around that. 1.00

00:17:17.920 And the murder rate is not the only evidence of that. I want you to watch this video. I'm going to

00:17:21.880 play this for you. And it's gone sort of viral over the past few days. It's actually from, I think,

00:17:27.100 2019. And it shows a young black guy with two other young black people in the car. One of them is

00:17:33.040 his sister, apparently, and then someone else. And he's flaunting his guns. And he's saying that

00:17:38.480 he's going to kill a cop if he gets pulled over. Just watch this. 0.99

00:17:42.180 My s*** on my lap next to the Jake's like, and I got my sister. 0.99

00:17:50.580 Stop playing. I'm going to kill him. He ain't a mad self. What we going to do to him? 1.00

00:17:57.800 You do it. F*** the Jake. He don't want to look. He's scared. You better match him. What a f***ing 1.00

00:18:07.640 bitch. I'm going to kill you right here. Okay, now think about what you just saw there. That is a 1.00

00:18:20.340 young guy who is apparently totally willing to throw his own life away for no reason.

00:18:28.480 He's, according to his own words, he is prepared to die for no reason. He's ready to shoot at a cop, 0.97

00:18:34.560 instigate a fatal encounter. The best case scenario, go to jail for the rest of his life 0.98

00:18:40.780 for no reason. Just, you know, why not? No reason other than bravado and acting out the stuff that

00:18:49.920 he hears in songs like the one that's playing in the background during the video. Black Lives Matter,

00:18:55.720 yeah, they do. But tell him that. He doesn't know that, that guy. And I'm sure he would shout the

00:19:03.320 slogan. But he doesn't even think his own life matters. His own life. He is, this is a self-imposed

00:19:11.500 devaluing of his own life that he is doing. He's willing to die just because, just to impress

00:19:22.340 some people on Instagram or Facebook, wherever that video was streaming.

00:19:26.320 This is the same attitude that Rayshard Brooks had. He instigated a fatal encounter with cops for,

00:19:35.500 just why? Because he didn't want to go to jail for, because, you know, he was, he was going to go to

00:19:41.240 jail for a DUI. Okay, well, now, now best case scenario, you've just, you've just gone from,

00:19:50.420 you're getting a DUI charge to about seven other felony charges. That's best case scenario if you

00:19:56.040 survive, which he didn't. That's Rayshard Brooks, who did not think his own life mattered. Certainly

00:20:03.760 not enough to take basic steps to preserve his own life. And this is the attitude that cops in the city

00:20:13.500 run up against all the time. It is a very noxious and virulent kind of nihilism, which treats violence

00:20:22.780 and even death as a game. And this is what cops are confronting in the inner cities across the

00:20:32.640 country. If your Black Lives Matter movement is, if you're, the cops are confronting this. If your 0.85

00:20:41.380 Black Lives Matter movement is not confronting this and not addressing it and not fighting against it 0.99

00:20:46.440 and not exposing it, then your Black Lives Matter movement is nothing but a fraud, nothing but a 0.84

00:20:53.340 front, which is what BLM is. Now, I want you to imagine, just think about for a moment

00:20:59.480 the situation that the average black child in this, in the, you know, the average inner city

00:21:07.620 is facing. Okay, he's growing up in a home without a father. He listens to music and consumes media that

00:21:15.240 explicitly glorifies and advocates violence, murder, and crime. And, you know, of course,

00:21:23.280 it's like, it's cliche to even talk about that or cliche, but also, I guess, racist to talk about

00:21:28.480 that or, you know, it's offensive somehow. But this is the stuff that kids in the city, not just in the

00:21:34.940 city, across the country, are listening to, is it? Openly advocating. Say, oh yeah, go out and get

00:21:40.020 yourself killed. So, no father in the home, consuming media that explicitly glorifies and 0.99

00:21:47.380 advocates violence, crime, and murder. Living in a community where murder is a daily occurrence.

00:21:53.920 In Chicago, it is a daily occurrence. In Baltimore, it's a daily occurrence. Drug dealers rule the streets. 0.88

00:22:00.200 That's the situation he's in. What honest person could look at that and decide that the police are the

00:22:11.020 biggest problem? You really think for that black child that the biggest problem for him is the police? 0.55

00:22:19.220 That's where all this goes back? That's the source of most of his troubles? That's the thing most likely 0.75

00:22:29.560 to kill him? No. Not even close. So, the whole thing is ludicrous. And it is, it's a shame that,

00:22:42.040 you know, that there is, that there is something called the Black Lives Matter movement that doesn't

00:22:48.100 actually care about black lives because we could, we could use a real Black Lives Matter movement.

00:22:57.360 Let's go to headlines. So, a couple weeks ago, a student at Kansas State, Jaden McNeil, tweeted a joke

00:23:04.120 about George Floyd. The tweet said, congratulations to George Floyd on being drug free for an entire

00:23:09.260 month. Okay, that was the joke. Edgy joke. Okay, it's the kind of thing that, at the absolute most,

00:23:16.060 a joke like that warrants a sort of a, hey man, too soon, or something like that. At least that's how

00:23:25.040 normal, sane, well-adjusted, mentally balanced adults respond to offensive jokes. Whoa, hey,

00:23:34.280 that's the most that an offensive joke should ever get out of you. Whoa, like that.

00:23:39.540 And then you move on with your life, and you forget about it. Because hopefully, there are,

00:23:47.340 I mean, quite literally, a billion other things in your life that are more important to you than

00:23:51.280 the joke that you just heard or saw on Twitter. But we happen to live in a country that is home to

00:23:55.720 lots of people who are not sane, not well-adjusted, and not mentally balanced. And this is doubly,

00:24:00.860 triply, quadruply true in our colleges. So, this tweet provoked an enormous reaction with students

00:24:06.820 panicking over it. And the administration of the school treating it, well, just look at these

00:24:13.100 statements that were frantically sent out by the administration on the day of the tweet.

00:24:16.160 The day of the tweet. The day that will live in infamy because of the tweet. This is Thomas Lane,

00:24:22.480 Dean of Students. This is what he said. For those impacted by this incident, please know there are

00:24:29.780 supportive resources available, including the Office of Student Life, Counseling Services, and

00:24:34.660 K-State Diversity. Okay. This sounds like there was a school shooting. That supportive resources for

00:24:43.860 those impacted, that's the kind of thing you hear after a shooting. But there was no shooting. Nobody

00:24:51.000 was killed. Nobody was injured. Nothing happened to anybody. Nobody was hurt in any way whatsoever.

00:24:57.820 There was a tweet. What would it even sound like to go and seek resources because of a tweet? I just

00:25:06.560 want to know what that exchange, when a student goes into the Office of Student Life, what are they

00:25:12.920 saying? Yes, hi, I saw the tweet. Please help. Please help me. I saw the tweet. I saw the tweet.

00:25:25.980 Something like that, I imagine. And then here's a message from the school president. A message from

00:25:33.040 President Richard Meyer says, the insensitive comments posted by one K-State student hurts our

00:25:38.020 entire community. These divisive statements do not represent the values of our university. We

00:25:43.420 condemn racism and bigotry in all its forms. We are launching an immediate review of the university's

00:25:48.200 options. Black Lives Matter at Kansas State University, and we will continue to fight for social

00:25:53.320 justice. Hurts the community? How exactly? Can you explain that one, Prez? I mean, it's in specific 0.85

00:26:02.780 detail. I want you to walk me through the steps. Okay, step one, somebody tweets a joke about George

00:26:09.580 Floyd. And then there are a few more steps, and then someone is hurt. Like, what happens? How does that

00:26:20.180 tweet become a thing that is hurting someone, and in what way are they hurt by it? That's what I want

00:26:27.580 to understand. Also, by the way, why is it just assumed that this is racist? It's an attack against

00:26:38.120 an individual named George Floyd. You could say it's in poor taste. You could use all kinds of

00:26:44.300 different adjectives. How is it automatically racist? If George Floyd was white and the exact

00:26:51.840 same joke was told that, well, then I guess it wouldn't be racist, then you would just, you would

00:26:55.900 say it was in poor taste. It's personally offensive to George Floyd and his family. That's what you

00:27:00.960 would say. You wouldn't say it was racist. So anyway, that was over a week ago, and the traumatized

00:27:07.480 students still have not recovered from this. They haven't gotten over it. Here's an article on

00:27:12.140 KansasCity.com. Let me pull, I just have to read some of this too. The headline is, I am totally

00:27:19.840 scared. Black students dread return to Kansas State after racist tweets. We just have to pause 0.91

00:27:28.640 right there. Dread return after tweet. It says, Mikella Ross, a Kansas City, a Kansas State University

00:27:39.120 sophomore, went to her internship boss at Exxon Mobil last week and told him, I'm scared to go

00:27:45.080 back to school. She wanted him to know why she couldn't concentrate on work. She was preoccupied

00:27:51.520 checking in with schoolmates after a K-State student's racially insensitive tweets about George

00:27:56.200 Floyd offended students of color and drew support from national white supremacist groups.

00:28:00.540 I'm not scared to speak out. I'm scared of the unknown, said Ross. I feel like the K-State

00:28:07.160 environment is hostile and not welcoming to black students, and our administration has

00:28:10.780 not taken actionable measures against racist incidents that have happened there. And this

00:28:14.420 is not the first one. In an unscientific student poll on Twitter, 124 of the approximately 700

00:28:23.160 black students on the Manhattan campus responded to the question, do you feel safe on campus?

00:28:27.900 About 80% said, no, they don't. And I can't even continue reading this. I just, this is,

00:28:35.040 this is mental illness. Okay. If you sincerely cannot concentrate on work and you have to talk 0.67

00:28:45.580 to your boss about it and you're traumatized and you're actually scared to go back to school 0.99

00:28:52.440 because a kid tweeted something that you have a mental illness. You have psychological problems 1.00

00:28:59.660 that are much deeper than, than any, any tweet can touch. Yes, you do need counseling. That's the 0.96

00:29:08.800 thing. That's, that's the one thing I actually agree with this stuff from the school of us. If you need

00:29:13.600 counseling, yeah, all, all of these students that are traumatized, they all need counseling,

00:29:18.040 but not because of the tweet. Just how do you function as a human being when, when you are that

00:29:29.960 fragile that, that a tweet that someone sent could make you, could incapacitate you.

00:29:38.560 And on top of that, it's, it's, it's like, it's a tweet and 99% of the people reacting to it

00:29:48.220 are not just condemning it, but are over the top condemning it.

00:29:52.800 So it's not even like you can say you, you, you feel ganged up on or, or everyone, it's a tweet

00:29:58.080 was sent. It's a tweet. Everybody is saying is a horrible tweet. It's the worst.

00:30:02.340 Is that not enough? Is that, is that not enough condemnation?

00:30:08.640 If a million people react to something and all, but like three of them are condemning it,

00:30:14.740 is that still, you need the other three too in order to function again as a person? It's just,

00:30:21.680 my God.

00:30:26.100 Let's go to number two here. And now the great hero, the great martyr, Colin Kaepernick

00:30:29.860 has met the fate that all great martyrs meet, which is a partnership deal with Disney.

00:30:34.140 Here's Kaepernick saying, I'm excited for this partnership with Disney across all of its

00:30:37.680 platforms to elevate black and Brown directors, creators, storytellers, and producers.

00:30:41.780 I look forward to sharing culturally impactful and inspiring projects. This is, this is, you know,

00:30:47.880 I, I can never cease to be impressed and, and just be an admiration of Colin Kaepernick

00:30:55.300 and his heroism and self-sacrifice. I want you to think about

00:30:58.620 what this man did. Okay. He gave up

00:31:02.740 a job as the mediocre second string quarterback for a losing franchise. He gave that up and all he

00:31:12.820 got in return was multimillion dollar partnership deals with some of the biggest corporations on

00:31:18.820 earth and widespread media claim. That's all he got. That's it. I mean, all he got was way more

00:31:27.620 money, fame, and admiration than he had before. Amazing. A true martyr. I mean, this is what

00:31:33.820 martyrdom is. Number three, now an important story from the Daily Caller. It says a German 0.98

00:31:42.960 man was hospitalized Saturday after he was dared to lick a venomous snake during his bachelor party

00:31:47.580 in the Australian Alps. After the incident was reported, a mountain rescue operations team

00:31:51.960 and a doctor recalled on the 30 year old man was taken to a nearby hospital. Um, the local Red 1.00

00:31:57.980 Cross organization stated the man was bit on the tongue after fellow party goers dared him to lick

00:32:03.320 the snake. You know, at least this is one vestige of toxic masculinity that we still have.

00:32:10.980 And I cherish it. That, that men will still do almost anything. If you just say, I dare you to do it.

00:32:21.020 That's, that's the one thing. And I think we have to, we have to hang on to that at all costs. Uh,

00:32:25.680 now a report from the Daily Wire. Uh, it says actress Halle Berry apologized and backed out of

00:32:35.060 potentially playing a transgender character in a film after she received fierce backlash online for

00:32:39.900 considering the role as a cisgender woman. According to Harper's Bazaar, Berry told fans

00:32:44.520 via Instagram live that she was up for consideration to play a transgender man in an upcoming film until

00:32:49.040 she received a flood of criticism, scolding her for taking a role from someone who identifies as

00:32:53.420 transgender. Um, and so she's not going to do that anymore, but, but so this is a, she was supposed 0.98

00:33:00.140 to play a transgender man. So in other words, a female, this is a female who was going to play a 0.88

00:33:07.520 female and that is appropriation. Okay. It makes a lot of sense. And finally, a report from the AP,

00:33:15.160 uh, it says New York hospitals released more than 6,300 recovering coronavirus patients into nursing

00:33:21.540 homes during the height of the pandemic under a controversial now scrap policy, according to state

00:33:25.780 officials. But so we knew this was happening. We didn't know the extent of it. Now they're saying

00:33:31.960 6,300 infected people were sent into nursing homes, but they argued it was, they are not to blame for

00:33:40.740 one of the nation's highest nursing home, uh, death tolls. What they're saying is it's the, um, it's the

00:33:45.880 staffers who, uh, who were infected. They're blaming the staffers just, just to summarize their

00:33:53.580 rationalization. They're saying it's not their fault. Yes. They sent infected people by mandate,

00:33:59.460 by order into nursing homes, into the, into the places where the most vulnerable people are

00:34:05.600 not their fault though. No, they're blaming the staffers. Just the hubris is almost unbelievable.

00:34:16.380 All right. We're going to go to our daily cancellation, but before we do, you know,

00:34:20.200 this past weekend, we witnessed a complete and total mockery of our country and the founding

00:34:24.100 principles it was built on. And no, I'm not talking about president Trump's speech. I'm

00:34:27.520 talking about the media response to it. It's just the complete and total sham that's called

00:34:31.280 journalism nowadays. Um, this horror show from the left is exactly the kind of thing that Ben

00:34:35.720 Shapiro talks about in his new book, how to destroy America in three easy steps. You can pre-order

00:34:40.100 your signed copy at dailywire.com slash Ben. The book covers two fundamentally different visions for

00:34:45.880 America that we're facing right now. This is a very important book for the, for our time, for this,

00:34:51.000 for this current moment in our culture. Um, one vision finds unity and shared philosophy, culture,

00:34:56.100 and history. The other disintegrates our country in the name of fundamental change. Um, hence

00:35:01.180 disintegrationists. These are the people who use weapons like cancel culture and forced apologies to 0.99

00:35:05.960 advance their agenda. Shapiro covers all of this ground and more in his book, how to destroy

00:35:10.520 America in three easy steps. Again, you can pre-order your signed copy of dailywire.com slash Ben to

00:35:15.560 get the perfect snapshot of this strange moment in our history. Now, speaking of strange moments in

00:35:22.540 our history, this is a, another, another hallmark of this moment is, um, the, what we do now of sharing

00:35:31.160 out of context videos of people maliciously in order to destroy them. And this is, this is our daily

00:35:37.280 cancellation. I will be canceling with great prejudice. Everyone who maliciously shares out

00:35:41.620 of context videos in an attempt to ruin the lives of usually just random people who are, you know,

00:35:47.760 random private people. And, and despite not having all the facts, we're obviously at a crisis level with

00:35:55.440 this kind of thing that happens all the time. There are two recent examples I want to talk about

00:35:59.640 briefly. Um, so first we have some kids who worked for Jimmy Johns who've now been fired and publicly

00:36:06.720 shamed all over the internet and the media, uh, for an admittedly quite dumb video that they did take

00:36:12.340 themselves and share themselves. But, um, it's a video with, with, uh, one of them has a noose made 0.71

00:36:19.560 out of, uh, bread dough around his neck. And anyway, here's, here's the video.

00:36:25.120 Now the claim, like in this tweet here from Nick Pappas and by so many others is that this is racist.

00:36:47.640 It's a racist video. This was done to mock the lynching of black Americans. That's what we're told. 0.61

00:36:55.520 But that's not actually what you see in the video, is it? There is nothing racial in the video.

00:37:03.080 Yeah. Is, is there, was there another video? Is there more context to this

00:37:07.180 that gives us some evidence that this was racially motivated? I don't know. We haven't seen it.

00:37:13.180 Nobody's mentioned it. Yes. They're making a joke out of a noose, which is macabre humor and also an

00:37:21.900 unsanitary use of a food product, which is really the only thing I'm offended by in the video.

00:37:25.920 But how is it racist? And it really matters because if these are just some kids being stupid 1.00

00:37:34.360 and misusing a food product and being unsanitary and making a macabre joke out of like suicide or 1.00

00:37:41.820 something, well, then we would all say that's stupid. And yeah, they're going to get fired 1.00

00:37:45.740 because they took the video and they put it up. And again, they're, you know, you can't do that with

00:37:49.780 the food. So any company is going to fire you for that. But if that's all it was, their whole lives

00:37:57.440 aren't going to be destroyed probably because of it. But you attach the word racist to it and you say

00:38:03.880 that they're making fun of black people being lynched. Well, now not only do they lose their Jimmy 0.61

00:38:10.180 John's job, their whole lives are destroyed. They're forever going to be the insanely racist 0.98

00:38:16.760 people who are making fun of, you know, lynching black people. So it really matters whether or not 0.99

00:38:25.280 this was racist. And there's no evidence of that. The only evidence apparently is just that they were

00:38:33.480 making a joke out of a noose, out of a fake noose. But since when did a noose become a universal sign

00:38:40.080 of racism? Nooses and hanging have been used across the world everywhere, you know, as, as, as

00:38:48.280 in order to kill people. This is, and it's also the most, one of the most common forms of suicide.

00:38:55.360 So this is something that we're watching the media and the left do right now in real time.

00:38:59.300 They're taking the noose and they're, they're just, they're making it into a white supremacist

00:39:04.500 symbol, even though it isn't. And it never has been. They're just, they're making it into that.

00:39:11.880 It's just like they did with the okay sign. Oh, and I just did that. So now watch,

00:39:15.960 this is going to be on media matters now. Um, that symbol, which, which for, I don't know,

00:39:22.300 decades meant a okay good or something like that. The media made it into a white supremacist symbol.

00:39:29.300 And if you remember, there was a guy and now people are getting fired, even if they just

00:39:33.500 inadvertently make that a guy, a Hispanic truck driver made that inadvertently did that while

00:39:40.560 he was cracking his knuckles. He was kind of like going like this and he got fired as a suspected

00:39:44.740 white supremacist. So now the media is doing that with this as well. Um, and these are, these are real

00:39:52.360 people whose lives are being destroyed and nobody cares. And then there's this video, which, uh,

00:39:59.340 according to people like David Levitt shows quote, ignorant Florida man without mask screams and 0.97

00:40:05.180 spread spit at elderly woman who asked him to please wear a mask. And the man who defended her 0.92

00:40:09.920 because quote, he feels threatened. That's the description of the video. Sounds pretty bad.

00:40:14.840 Uh, here's the actual video. Okay. Wait a second. Almost nothing in the description that I just read

00:40:38.940 to you is actually shown in that video. Yes. A guy is screaming. Yes. He says he feels threatened,

00:40:45.540 but there's no elderly woman in sight. There's no discussion about masks.

00:40:51.680 Um, you don't see in this video, a man being politely asked to wear a mask by an elderly,

00:40:57.840 elderly woman, and then him freaking out in response. That's not what you see. You see a man

00:41:04.420 freaking out. That's the part you see. You don't see what led up to it. You don't see the context.

00:41:09.980 In fact, in the video, in this clip, anyway, the thing that he's upset about is being filmed and

00:41:15.160 publicly shamed. That's the thing he's, he's mad about, which on that note, I don't blame him for that.

00:41:23.720 Um, now maybe the rest of what David Levitt says did happen, but that's not what you see in the video.

00:41:31.380 And so what happens now is we get these out of context videos. Um, and almost always what we see

00:41:38.820 is someone reacting to something and then the people sharing it just fill in the blanks and tell

00:41:47.380 you and tell you what, what led up to that reaction. And very few people stop to say, okay, can we see

00:41:55.520 that part of it? How do we know that what your description of the off camera stuff actually

00:42:01.640 happen? And by the way, why was this video clipped that way there in that video, there's obviously

00:42:09.340 more to it. It cuts on in the middle of something. It's pretty clear that there's, you know, I don't

00:42:15.500 know. Is there five seconds more? Is there 10 minutes? I don't know. But for some reason,

00:42:20.760 someone decided to cut out the rest of it and just show us that part. Why? Maybe there's an

00:42:25.500 innocent explanation, but maybe not. This is the game though. And it's, and I'm, I don't know if

00:42:34.020 this is what happened here, but we also know the game among some agitators is to provoke a reaction

00:42:40.100 out of somebody and get the reaction on tape and then make up a story about what led up to that

00:42:47.220 reaction to try to destroy the person. We saw that. I think we played that video of a black guy who 0.76

00:42:55.600 said that he, he tracked down a woman who had shouted a racial slur at him. And, and, and, you

00:43:00.800 know, the only thing we see in the video is her outside of her home because she had been followed

00:43:05.180 back to her house by the guy. And she was scared because a man just followed her back to her house.

00:43:12.720 So I think she has every right to be scared. And we get him filling in the blanks and just

00:43:17.320 claiming that she, that he, she used the racial slur, which even if she did, that wouldn't justify

00:43:23.180 you following her back to her house, but we don't see that part. And that's the game. So everybody who

00:43:29.640 shares these kinds of videos uncritically, um, and with the malicious intent to randomly destroy

00:43:36.800 people they don't know who were involved in a confrontation that they know nothing about and 0.95

00:43:42.980 the context of which they are, they are ignorant, all of those people are all canceled and we'll 0.98

00:43:49.440 leave it there. Thanks for watching everybody. Thanks for listening. Godspeed. 0.97
