00:00:00.000 Today on the Matt Walsh Show, Believe All Women has been reborn, except now it's been racialized
00:00:05.180 as well. Before we were told that we must believe all women who claim that they were sexually
00:00:09.200 assaulted or harassed. Now we're told that we must believe any non-white person who claims
00:00:13.840 they're the victim of racism. But this idea is just as dangerous and irrational as Believe All
00:00:20.120 Women. We'll talk about why. Also, five headlines, including a true American hero, I don't use that
00:00:25.320 phrase lightly, who stood up against a couple of women at the store who were hectoring him
00:00:29.680 over not wearing a mask. You have to see the video if you haven't seen it. Play that for you. And in
00:00:33.560 our daily cancellation, I will cancel the makers of a children's toy for causing me life-threatening
00:00:39.460 injuries. And it's a very important candidate, probably the most important one yet because
00:00:44.060 it's so personal to me. All of that is on the way on the show today. But before that, I want to tell
00:00:48.320 you about our new sponsors, Cars for Kids. Some of us have been taking time during our time being at
00:00:54.760 home, going through, finding we have a lot of stuff cluttered around the house that we don't need.
00:00:59.680 And what's a good thing to do with that? Rather than throwing it away, of course,
00:01:03.600 you could donate it. If you have a car that's taking up space, sitting in your driveway,
00:01:07.960 sitting in your garage, whatever it is, that you're paying insurance on, I have one question
00:01:12.380 for you. Why? Why is it just sitting there? Get rid of it. Donate it to Cars for Kids.
00:01:17.920 Many of you have heard the jingle. It's a real earworm. I'm being told here to sing it or hum it.
00:01:25.160 I just can't. The thing is, my singing voice, I have been told, causes the listener to plunge
00:01:32.660 into despair and give up the will to live. And I wouldn't want to do that to you or to the great
00:01:39.540 people at Cars for Kids. So you'll have to take their word for it. But you can get a tax deduction
00:01:43.500 and a vacation voucher. Here's how it works. Cars for Kids makes the process of donating your car
00:01:48.660 quick and easy. It takes just about two minutes to do. They handle all the details, all the paperwork.
00:01:52.880 They're taking that off your plate. All you need to do is schedule a pickup and sign the title.
00:01:57.800 Simple as that. Pickups are contact free. Just leave your signed title with your keys in the car
00:02:02.940 to avoid unnecessary contact. The Cars for Kids driver will conveniently pick up your car while
00:02:07.900 maintaining a safe distance. Donate your car's tax deductible. Your tax deduction is based on the
00:02:12.840 sale price of your car. Cars for Kids works hard to sell your car for the best price, which means more
00:02:18.360 funds for their charity and a bigger tax deduction for you. And as a special thank you for donating
00:02:23.180 your car, Cars for Kids gives you a vacation voucher good for a three-day, two-night hotel stay. So I
00:02:27.660 mean, you just, it's a win-win-win for everybody involved. With Cars for Kids, you get professional
00:02:31.820 service, a convenient pickup, maximum tax deduction, a vacation voucher, and a good deed. All that wrapped
00:02:37.980 into one. Donate today at carsforkids.org slash Walsh. That's cars with a K, K-A-R-S, the number four,
00:02:47.060 K-I-D-S dot org slash Walsh. They'll give you the donation experience that you deserve, carsforkids.org
00:02:54.520 slash Walsh. All right, so the Me Too movement, with its Believe All Women slogan, has been reborn,
00:03:00.980 resurrected, only more like Frankenstein than Jesus Christ in this case.
00:03:05.400 What we can look forward to now in our culture is a racialized version of the same concept. We've
00:03:11.900 already seen it, of course, playing out, but I think it's only going to get worse, which is why
00:03:16.040 it's worth spending some time on today talking about it. And I'm going to focus to frame this
00:03:22.920 discussion, focus especially on an article in the Wall Street Journal just published, says,
00:03:28.300 what does being an ally look like? Companies offer training in support of black colleagues.
00:03:33.160 And then it says, acknowledge past mistakes and question workplace practices to support
00:03:38.020 the advancement of black co-workers, corporate leaders say. And in a posting to Twitter, the
00:03:43.880 journal provides in the caption this quote from the article. It says, if a black person
00:03:50.000 tells you that they're feeling something is racist, just believe them. So we'll get to that
00:03:55.700 in a moment. But first, let's read a bit from this article as we work up to that. It says,
00:04:02.940 difficult conversations with colleagues about their experiences are a critical part of being
00:04:06.920 an ally in the workplace. Ms. Shiler said, we have to allow people to voice what they've
00:04:12.660 been through and the physical and mental exhaustion. She said, you have to be uncomfortable every single
00:04:17.060 day or we're not going to get this right. Ms. Shiler, Shannon Shiler, by the way, she's the
00:04:21.360 chief purpose and inclusion officer at PricewaterhouseCoopers. Purpose and inclusion officer.
00:04:28.720 How do you get that job? And how much does it pay? I'm going to bet well into the six figures to
00:04:34.700 be a purpose and inclusion officer. Prompted by protests after the killing of George Floyd in
00:04:40.640 Minneapolis, many corporate leaders are evaluating how best to advocate for underrepresented employees
00:04:45.460 as part of a broader diversity and inclusion effort. From tech giant Microsoft Corp to law firm
00:04:51.840 Winston and Strawn, companies are unveiling plans to provide training and host discussions about the
00:04:56.720 concept of allyship. Ally training promotes the idea that an ally, generally someone who is white or
00:05:02.740 otherwise in the majority, supports the workplace advancement of people who are black or otherwise in
00:05:06.960 the minority and stands up for them when they experience discrimination or unfair treatment.
00:05:10.960 By the way, this article is doing that new thing where black is capitalized, but white isn't.
00:05:16.360 There is no grammatical defense of that whatsoever. Really, neither word should be capitalized.
00:05:23.980 But if you're going to capitalize one, you should capitalize the other. There's no grammatical
00:05:28.520 reason to do this. It's just that the left injects ideology into every single crack and crevice of the
00:05:35.820 national conversation that it can. Everything is turned into an ideological issue, even what words
00:05:42.900 you capitalize. And that's one of the reasons why the left wins all the time, by the way, is that
00:05:49.240 they're making everything into an ideological fight and they're fighting. They're going to have fights
00:05:57.360 that are so petty and ridiculous, seemingly, that normal people won't even engage. So another classic
00:06:07.000 example, I'm getting away from this, I'll get back to it in a second. But another example just for the
00:06:13.360 last few days is this, the thing with the Goya company that makes, you know, most people know them
00:06:21.040 for their beans. That's why I buy their cans of beans. But the CEO said that he supports Trump.
00:06:28.020 And now there's this massive campaign against the company. And meanwhile, for most, like when I'm
00:06:38.620 going to buy a can of beans, it wouldn't even occur to me to refrain from buying a certain kind of bean
00:06:47.320 because the CEO of the company that produced it supports a politician I don't like. I don't know
00:06:53.620 what politicians my cans of beans support. I don't care. It's just not. But on the left,
00:07:01.100 they are that petty that they won't even buy beans from you unless you sign on to all of their doctrinal
00:07:10.360 beliefs. And that's one of the reasons why they win. It's because they're going to fight.
00:07:15.380 They're going to have fights that the rest of us won't even participate in because we're just
00:07:21.320 too rational at times. All right, let's back to this. It says, at supermarket chain Kroger,
00:07:28.180 one of its workplace groups, the African-American Associate Resource Group developed an allyship
00:07:33.260 guide with advice on how to support black colleagues and recommendations for books and movies that discuss
00:07:38.320 race. Allies can serve as a sounding board for peers and work to understand where bias is
00:07:45.380 exists in the organization. Okay, so on and so forth. Further on, it says,
00:07:52.640 when white co-workers refer to their black co-workers as being too loud or aggressive or
00:07:56.980 their appearance doesn't fit within their personal acceptable standards, managers need to address
00:08:01.220 these microaggressions. According to Helen Aboa, who's the CEO of Urban Zen, a New York-based
00:08:07.140 clothing, beauty, and home decor retailer. Okay, well, what if they're really just being too loud,
00:08:12.500 aggressive or they're out of uniform? Isn't that a possibility for anybody of any race?
00:08:18.760 If a white employee is acting that way, there will be no problem with saying so, right?
00:08:26.120 So it's always racist to say that of a black employee, but never racist to say it of a white
00:08:30.860 employee? If that makes sense to you, you're either high or suffering from psychotic delusions
00:08:35.980 because it makes no sense whatsoever. Okay, and then we get to the money quote.
00:08:41.700 Wilda White, a consultant who serves as the chair of a Vermont, of a Vermont, Vermont. I don't know why
00:08:47.560 I said it like that. Of a Vermont, the state of Vermont, the chair of a Vermont oversight commission
00:08:54.060 on mental health and law enforcement said she has been getting texts recently from colleagues asking
00:08:58.280 how she's doing. It's nice that people are trying to express solidarity, she said, but in the absence
00:09:03.440 of a meaningful relationship, such efforts can feel empty like empty gestures. White employees can
00:09:08.200 help black co-workers by being respectful of their experiences instead of arguing or trying to
00:09:12.800 invalidate their feelings, she said. If a black person tells you that they're feeling something
00:09:17.340 is racist, just believe them. Okay, now this is an important point. Believe them. If they say that
00:09:27.040 they feel something is racist, believe them. Well, believe what exactly? Believe that they feel that
00:09:34.620 way? Okay, sure. If someone says they feel a certain way or don't feel a certain way, all you can do is
00:09:43.420 believe them. I'm with you on that. And why is that? Because nobody else can speak for someone else's feelings
00:09:52.720 other than the person experiencing those feelings. That's the only person who could be an authority
00:09:58.160 on the feelings that are being felt. Yes, I agree. But you see what that means. That idea invalidates
00:10:09.280 the claim that we just heard, and I'll explain why in just a second. But first, BlinkSale. This video,
00:10:16.580 this show is sponsored by BlinkSale, the revolutionary invoicing software that's changing the landscape for
00:10:21.300 small businesses and independent contractors everywhere. You know, the American dream is
00:10:26.540 owning and building a successful business. That's how you can really have freedom, is when you have
00:10:32.060 your own business, you're doing what you love, providing something to your community. But many
00:10:36.980 business owners know that there are many moving parts with business. And there are things about
00:10:41.720 owning a business, from what I've heard from business owners, that you didn't even think would be
00:10:45.720 a challenge that end up being a bigger challenge than you thought. Something simple like invoicing.
00:10:51.940 Keeping track of invoicing, you know, getting the invoices together, all of that stuff can be very
00:10:57.700 difficult. And that's why you need BlinkSale. BlinkSale, with BlinkSale, you can send beautiful

00:11:52.520 slash Walsh. BlinkSale. Spend less time billing and more time doing what you love. Okay, so
00:11:58.900 the claim being made here is that you can't, if somebody feels a certain way, you have to believe
00:12:06.920 how they feel, take them at their word, essentially, and I agree with that. But the
00:12:14.820 problem is, at least for the claim made here, that the person being accused of saying or
00:12:23.620 doing something racist is also the only person who can verify that claim. In other words, when
00:12:31.340 you say that a statement or action is racist, you're making a claim not about your own
00:12:36.720 feelings, but about the feelings of the person who did or said the thing. You might feel like
00:12:45.060 it was racist, but whether or not it actually is racist, well, that goes to the feelings and
00:12:49.960 intentions of the person who did or said it. That's what, you're really making a claim about
00:12:53.940 their emotional state, about their intentions. And the only person who can speak to that, as
00:12:59.280 we just covered, the only authority on that subject is the person themselves. In lieu of mind-reading
00:13:05.480 capabilities, only the person being accused is an authority on the subject of their own alleged
00:13:11.800 racism. So, you feel something is racist. Okay, you feel that. Fine. But your feelings about someone
00:13:21.680 else's feelings have no evidentiary value whatsoever. If I want to know whether something
00:13:29.700 was racist, I'm not going to go talk to other people to see how it made them feel, because
00:13:34.640 that's not going to tell me whether or not it actually was racist. Your feelings about
00:13:39.740 my feelings don't prove anything at all about my feelings. It's true that I could lie about
00:13:47.020 my feelings, and it's true sometimes that my actions can speak so clearly to a certain feeling
00:13:52.580 or intention that my claims after the fact have to be treated skeptically. So, for example,
00:13:57.520 if I walk up to you out of the blue and punch you in the face, and then later on I say I didn't mean
00:14:03.160 to hurt you, in that case you would be justified in feeling skeptical about my claims. That's
00:14:09.780 because there's almost no other conceivable reason why I would walk up to a person and punch
00:14:15.600 him in the face. So, you as the punchee are left to surmise either that the puncher wanted to do you
00:14:22.300 harm or that they're insane. There really isn't any third option. Maybe they were aggressively
00:14:29.360 trying to swat a mosquito away from your nose, but that, again, seems dubious. So, there are nuances
00:14:36.440 here, but even so, the only true authority on a person's feelings and intentions is the person.
00:14:45.060 If that authority chooses not to be honest or to conceal the truth, then that's what they're going to do,
00:14:50.080 but they are still the only authority. The rest of us can only guess, surmise, theorize,
00:14:56.120 come to tentative conclusions, but we can't know the way the person can know.
00:15:04.720 And all of that means that in a situation where there could be any number of reasonable ways to
00:15:11.740 explain a person's actions, when a person's actions could plausibly be motivated by good or bad or
00:15:19.260 neutral intentions, and this is the case most of the time. I mean, with most of the things people do,
00:15:25.620 especially in their interactions with other people, there's any number of ways to interpret it.
00:15:32.180 And in those cases, all you can do is listen to their own account of their own actions,
00:15:38.620 their explanation, and accept it.
00:15:40.980 So, a really good example from this article.
00:15:46.140 It says that it's a microaggression and it's racist to tell a black employee that they're being too loud.
00:15:52.220 Okay, well,
00:15:53.420 if someone in a work environment says to another person,
00:15:57.640 you're being too loud,
00:16:00.260 it seems to me that there's any number of reasons why a person might say that.
00:16:03.860 One reason, I guess, is that they're racist and that they're trying to shut up a black person because
00:16:11.900 they're racist. That is a possibility, I guess. But there are a lot of other possibilities, too.
00:16:18.740 One possibility is that the person is really just being too loud.
00:16:22.780 And others in their work environment can't focus. That's a possibility.
00:16:27.260 There may even be, you know, options, see D&E here. I don't know.
00:16:31.680 It's possible that the person saying
00:16:35.820 you're being too loud
00:16:36.660 does have ill intentions, but that aren't racially based.
00:16:40.360 Maybe they have a personal animus against this person.
00:16:42.780 Maybe it's, you know, some passive-aggressive dig at an individual they don't like.
00:16:46.260 I mean, there are any number of reasons
00:16:48.180 why the person who said you're being too loud
00:16:51.620 might have said that.
00:16:54.040 And in that case,
00:16:56.140 given that there are so many possible explanations,
00:16:58.700 so many plausible explanations,
00:17:00.120 and in fact, the most plausible and immediate explanation
00:17:03.920 is totally innocent.
00:17:05.860 You know, the most plausible and immediate explanation being
00:17:07.680 the person is really just being too loud.
00:17:10.160 Nothing to do with their race,
00:17:11.360 they're just being too loud,
00:17:12.180 as people contend to be in a workplace environment.
00:17:14.700 In that case,
00:17:16.000 it doesn't make any sense
00:17:18.480 for someone to say,
00:17:20.100 well, I feel like it was racist, so it was.
00:17:23.340 No, no, no.
00:17:23.840 All we can do,
00:17:24.680 if you really suspect that there might be
00:17:26.540 a racist reason for that to be said,
00:17:29.300 then all you can do is ask the person,
00:17:31.960 why did you say that?
00:17:33.600 And they can tell you.
00:17:36.460 Now, you might say,
00:17:37.420 if they meant it in a racist way,
00:17:38.820 they're not going to admit it.
00:17:39.600 Yeah, maybe so.
00:17:41.500 But even in that,
00:17:42.200 but even so,
00:17:43.680 they are the only authority.
00:17:46.120 No one else can be an authority.
00:17:47.640 If Samantha is saying,
00:17:55.540 it says something to Tammy,
00:17:58.260 and we want to know why Samantha said that thing,
00:18:01.300 it doesn't make any sense to ask Tammy.
00:18:02.960 We have to ask Samantha, right?
00:18:05.740 Tammy's not the one who said it.
00:18:07.340 Samantha is.
00:18:09.860 But, you know,
00:18:10.700 I'm trying to explain all of this
00:18:12.580 and going to great lengths
00:18:14.260 to be logical about it,
00:18:15.960 but of course it doesn't matter,
00:18:16.820 because, as I said before,
00:18:18.880 this is all ideology.
00:18:20.460 And the left injects ideology into everything.
00:18:23.620 Part of their ideology, of course,
00:18:25.420 is that every white person is racist inherently.
00:18:28.420 Doesn't matter what you feel
00:18:29.840 or how you think.
00:18:30.940 Everyone is racist.
00:18:32.900 And therefore,
00:18:34.100 everything you do
00:18:35.100 could be and probably is
00:18:37.400 at some level racist,
00:18:38.680 especially if you're interacting with
00:18:40.580 or in any way dealing with
00:18:42.360 someone of another race.
00:18:44.460 So it's all,
00:18:45.120 so really it's all racist.
00:18:46.820 And another part of that ideology
00:18:49.840 is that somehow
00:18:51.400 the white people
00:18:52.880 who have this inherent racism,
00:18:54.100 most of them are too stupid
00:18:55.520 or too blind
00:18:57.040 to even see it within themselves.
00:18:59.480 And so they need other people
00:19:00.600 to enlighten them.
00:19:02.360 All ideology-based.
00:19:04.460 No logic to it.
00:19:05.580 No rationality whatsoever.
00:19:07.920 But that's what makes the world
00:19:09.800 turn these days.
00:19:12.060 Let's go to headlines.
00:19:14.420 Number one,
00:19:14.920 the esteemed
00:19:15.780 Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez,
00:19:17.740 the esteemed scholar,
00:19:19.300 has a theory
00:19:20.040 as to why violent crime
00:19:22.200 is on the rise.
00:19:23.680 And here's her theory.
00:19:26.500 So why is this uptick
00:19:28.100 in crime happening?
00:19:29.280 Well, let's think about it.
00:19:31.060 Do we think this has to do
00:19:32.400 with the fact that there's
00:19:33.240 record unemployment
00:19:34.140 in the United States right now?
00:19:36.360 The fact that people
00:19:37.700 are at a level
00:19:38.580 of economic desperation
00:19:40.840 that we have not seen
00:19:41.880 since the Great Recession.
00:19:43.620 Maybe this has to do
00:19:44.520 with the fact that people
00:19:45.420 aren't paying their rent
00:19:46.640 and are scared
00:19:47.320 to pay their rent.
00:19:48.540 And so they go out
00:19:49.540 and they need to feed their child
00:19:52.020 and they don't have money.
00:19:53.880 So you maybe have to,
00:19:56.460 they're put in a position
00:19:57.360 where they feel like
00:19:58.020 they either need to shoplift
00:19:59.440 some bread
00:20:00.240 or go hungry that night.
00:20:02.500 Shoplifting bread.
00:20:04.400 Sure.
00:20:05.860 You know, except the problem
00:20:07.140 is that the crimes
00:20:07.920 on the rise
00:20:08.640 are not bread thefts.
00:20:10.960 I'm not aware
00:20:11.920 of any statistic
00:20:12.880 about bread being stolen
00:20:14.480 at a higher rate than usual.
00:20:15.960 I'm not, I'm not aware
00:20:16.920 of that happening.
00:20:18.220 No, the crimes
00:20:19.000 that are on the rise
00:20:20.100 are crimes like this.
00:20:22.360 A community is up in arms
00:20:23.920 as you might imagine
00:20:24.800 over this tragic
00:20:26.160 and senseless murder
00:20:27.720 of a 22-month-old.
00:20:29.520 I just got the update
00:20:30.360 from the New York City
00:20:31.640 Police Department.
00:20:32.340 They tell me this little boy
00:20:34.300 was identified as
00:20:36.380 Develle Gardner.
00:20:37.860 He lived here in Brooklyn
00:20:39.420 in Brownsville.
00:20:40.440 However, he was at a cookout
00:20:41.700 with family members
00:20:42.600 here on Madison Street
00:20:44.340 overnight.
00:20:45.120 It was around 11.30
00:20:46.680 and you can see this morning
00:20:47.940 that little boy's stroller
00:20:49.480 still on the sidewalk.
00:20:51.360 Police telling me
00:20:52.060 he was sitting there
00:20:53.740 when two men walked up
00:20:56.620 and just started firing
00:20:58.160 into the crowd.
00:20:59.840 That little boy
00:21:00.460 was shot in the stomach.
00:21:01.780 He was rushed to an area
00:21:02.800 hospital where doctors
00:21:04.000 could not save him
00:21:05.040 from that gunshot wound
00:21:06.080 to the stomach.
00:21:07.440 Three other people
00:21:08.280 here at this cookout
00:21:09.220 were also wounded.
00:21:10.780 Three adult men.
00:21:12.080 They are expected
00:21:12.860 to be okay.
00:21:13.680 Witnesses are telling me
00:21:15.400 that they saw these suspects
00:21:17.100 sprint away,
00:21:18.320 possibly into a waiting vehicle
00:21:19.920 on Marcus Garvey Boulevard.
00:21:21.740 This was just one of
00:21:23.420 35 people shot over this weekend
00:21:26.720 and clearly people
00:21:28.020 in the community
00:21:28.800 are incensed.
00:21:30.300 Two years old.
00:21:31.420 Less than two, actually.
00:21:32.420 A baby.
00:21:33.340 Shot in the stomach.
00:21:34.480 Killed.
00:21:34.860 At a barbecue with his family.
00:21:36.960 Added to the list of children,
00:21:38.320 very young children
00:21:38.940 in many cases,
00:21:39.760 who've been murdered
00:21:40.600 in our cities
00:21:41.160 over the last few weeks.
00:21:42.660 And let's be clear
00:21:43.720 about what AOC
00:21:45.120 is doing here.
00:21:46.280 Okay, she is looking
00:21:46.960 to distract
00:21:47.680 from this
00:21:49.280 by dressing this
00:21:50.960 kind of crime up
00:21:52.660 as, you know,
00:21:53.540 a downtrodden person
00:21:54.640 stealing bread.
00:21:55.920 Now, she wasn't talking
00:21:56.700 specifically about this case
00:21:57.880 when she said that,
00:21:58.620 but she was justifying
00:22:00.300 the rise in crime
00:22:01.280 and the rise in crime
00:22:03.360 has been a rise
00:22:04.340 in this kind of crime.
00:22:06.500 And she knows that.
00:22:08.460 It has been a rise
00:22:09.600 in violent crime
00:22:10.900 against often
00:22:11.820 innocent children
00:22:12.640 or other members
00:22:13.500 of the community
00:22:14.760 and usually
00:22:15.460 the black community.
00:22:16.900 That's the crime
00:22:17.760 we're dealing with.
00:22:19.280 And she's trying
00:22:20.120 to justify it.
00:22:22.680 Number two,
00:22:24.040 there were protests,
00:22:25.360 speaking of justifying crimes,
00:22:26.820 there were protests
00:22:27.400 in Detroit
00:22:27.860 over the weekend
00:22:28.360 over a man named
00:22:29.260 Hakeem Littleton
00:22:30.260 who was shot
00:22:31.040 and killed by police.
00:22:33.280 Protesters were,
00:22:34.320 as this NBC headline says,
00:22:36.160 demanding justice.
00:22:38.240 Here's some footage
00:22:39.040 of that peaceful protest
00:22:40.360 of people who just
00:22:41.640 want nothing but justice
00:22:43.000 in the world.
00:22:43.520 Watch.
00:22:47.820 I'm up as a bitch.
00:22:49.280 So peaceful.
00:22:55.040 So, so peaceful.
00:22:55.760 Actually,
00:22:56.220 several cops
00:22:56.800 were assaulted
00:22:57.300 during that peaceful protest
00:22:58.380 because, you know,
00:22:59.700 these protesters
00:23:00.580 were so distraught
00:23:01.520 over Hakeem Littleton
00:23:02.620 that they had no choice
00:23:03.540 but to
00:23:04.580 assault police officers.
00:23:07.580 The only problem,
00:23:09.140 which isn't really
00:23:09.720 a problem for the protesters
00:23:10.780 who couldn't care less
00:23:11.540 about the truth,
00:23:12.200 obviously,
00:23:12.680 but still,
00:23:14.160 the issue here
00:23:14.700 is that despite
00:23:15.380 the testimony
00:23:15.980 of eyewitnesses
00:23:16.860 who say that
00:23:17.260 Hakeem was,
00:23:18.160 was gunned down,
00:23:19.140 unarmed,
00:23:19.740 you know,
00:23:20.940 despite that,
00:23:22.240 he was actually
00:23:24.040 in reality
00:23:24.540 pulling a gun
00:23:25.560 and firing it
00:23:26.640 at police officers.
00:23:27.640 Here's the video
00:23:28.400 of that altercation.
00:23:30.880 This weekend,
00:23:32.040 parts of Detroit
00:23:32.940 on edge
00:23:33.840 as protesters
00:23:35.100 demand justice
00:23:35.980 for Hakeem Littleton,
00:23:37.660 the 20-year-old
00:23:38.400 shot and killed
00:23:39.260 by police
00:23:40.000 Friday afternoon.
00:23:41.140 The outrage
00:23:42.400 set off
00:23:42.980 after claims
00:23:43.700 on social media
00:23:44.720 accusing Detroit
00:23:45.760 police of killing
00:23:46.940 an unarmed man.
00:23:49.060 Authorities responded
00:23:49.940 by releasing
00:23:50.600 dash and body cam footage
00:23:52.300 showing members
00:23:53.180 of the police
00:23:53.800 gang squad
00:23:54.540 approaching
00:23:55.100 and arresting
00:23:55.800 Darnell Sylvester
00:23:56.860 wanted on a federal
00:23:58.120 drug warrant.
00:23:59.620 While he complies,
00:24:01.000 authorities say
00:24:01.640 Littleton,
00:24:02.580 standing nearby,
00:24:03.740 appears to pull
00:24:04.620 out a weapon.
00:24:05.600 A witness
00:24:06.320 at the scene
00:24:07.700 told investigators
00:24:08.780 that Mr. Littleton
00:24:10.660 stated,
00:24:12.020 I'm not going to say
00:24:12.780 the exact verbiage,
00:24:14.100 but basically
00:24:15.140 that you're not
00:24:15.800 going to take my man.
00:24:17.140 This body cam footage
00:24:18.560 appears to show
00:24:19.460 Littleton
00:24:19.940 shooting at an officer
00:24:21.220 and missing
00:24:21.820 before police
00:24:22.960 return fire.
00:24:24.360 He is what I would
00:24:25.260 describe as
00:24:25.800 an American hero.
00:24:27.140 Despite being
00:24:27.880 fired upon him,
00:24:28.760 he continued
00:24:29.240 to advance.
00:24:30.320 The police chief
00:24:31.200 says he released
00:24:32.040 the videos
00:24:32.620 to set the record
00:24:33.800 straight.
00:24:34.600 This is about
00:24:35.340 transparency.
00:24:36.320 But even after
00:24:36.940 these images
00:24:37.600 became public,
00:24:39.140 protesters still
00:24:40.420 want answers.
00:24:41.860 Let him go.
00:24:42.640 Shoot him in the leg.
00:24:43.320 He'll be all right.
00:24:43.880 Do not take
00:24:44.520 somebody's life.
00:24:45.420 Kathy Park,
00:24:46.380 NBC News.
00:24:47.620 So cops were making
00:24:48.580 an arrest of someone else.
00:24:49.960 Hakeem was there,
00:24:51.400 decided to take
00:24:52.400 the opportunity
00:24:52.860 to try and execute
00:24:53.680 a cop.
00:24:55.120 You can clearly see
00:24:56.040 him pulling a gun
00:24:56.760 and firing him.
00:24:57.500 Then he was shot
00:24:57.980 and killed.
00:24:59.200 So, you know,
00:24:59.900 thank God the police
00:25:00.800 were able to take him
00:25:01.760 down before any of,
00:25:02.720 before he was able
00:25:03.300 to successfully murder
00:25:04.160 any of them.
00:25:05.080 He's the bad guy here,
00:25:06.480 cut and dry.
00:25:07.420 You know,
00:25:07.640 it's,
00:25:07.940 it's sad
00:25:09.500 that he decided
00:25:10.220 to throw his own
00:25:11.340 life away.
00:25:12.300 Pitiful that he made
00:25:13.080 that choice.
00:25:14.060 But there's no outrage
00:25:14.980 here.
00:25:15.340 There's no injustice.
00:25:17.740 And once again,
00:25:18.760 you know,
00:25:19.020 it just feels hopeless
00:25:20.360 after a while
00:25:20.760 because this doesn't
00:25:21.380 matter either.
00:25:22.080 I mean,
00:25:22.640 if you were dealing
00:25:24.460 with rational people
00:25:25.420 and there was a protest
00:25:27.180 over a police shooting
00:25:28.260 and then a video
00:25:29.280 came out proving
00:25:30.280 that the person
00:25:31.040 who was shot
00:25:31.560 was shooting
00:25:32.400 at police,
00:25:33.300 that would be
00:25:34.700 the end of it.
00:25:36.120 And the protesters,
00:25:37.280 if they were rational
00:25:37.820 people,
00:25:38.140 and also,
00:25:38.920 maybe not even,
00:25:39.760 being rational
00:25:40.480 isn't even the issue here.
00:25:41.660 If they were really
00:25:42.440 concerned about police
00:25:43.340 brutality,
00:25:44.380 if that was actually
00:25:45.580 the concern,
00:25:46.860 then they would say,
00:25:47.860 oh, okay,
00:25:48.260 you know what,
00:25:48.460 we got this one wrong.
00:25:49.660 Sorry to the police
00:25:50.500 officers.
00:25:51.140 You were,
00:25:51.320 you know,
00:25:51.500 you're defending
00:25:51.960 yourselves,
00:25:52.400 obviously.
00:25:52.760 Thank you for keeping
00:25:53.240 my community safe.
00:25:54.340 We'll go home.
00:25:56.420 People who were really
00:25:57.540 concerned about police
00:25:58.140 brutality,
00:25:58.580 that's how they would
00:25:59.300 respond.
00:26:00.680 But these protesters,
00:26:01.940 of course,
00:26:02.460 don't care about
00:26:03.460 police brutality at all.
00:26:04.400 It's got nothing
00:26:04.980 to do with it.
00:26:06.020 For a lot of them,
00:26:06.720 it's just an excuse,
00:26:08.260 a, you know,
00:26:09.460 a forum for wreaking
00:26:12.660 destruction and all of that.
00:26:15.180 And then we know
00:26:16.080 for BLM and the leaders
00:26:18.900 of this movement,
00:26:19.660 they've got a lot of,
00:26:21.800 a lot on their plate
00:26:23.460 agenda-wise,
00:26:24.640 and police brutality
00:26:26.200 has almost nothing
00:26:27.060 to do with any of it.
00:26:27.820 Number three,
00:26:29.860 let's go over to the UK
00:26:30.740 to talk about soccer,
00:26:32.020 which, you know,
00:26:33.020 is a great activity
00:26:33.700 for people who
00:26:34.320 don't like sports.
00:26:36.060 Crystal Palace winger
00:26:37.440 Wilfried Zaha.
00:26:39.660 I don't know what
00:26:40.320 any of those words mean.
00:26:41.440 A winger sounds like
00:26:42.100 something you'd order
00:26:42.620 at Applebee's.
00:26:43.300 I don't know.
00:26:44.640 But anyway,
00:26:45.060 Zaha recently posted
00:26:46.020 online some screenshots
00:26:47.560 of racist messages
00:26:48.680 that he received
00:26:49.400 from someone,
00:26:49.980 and they are certainly
00:26:50.680 very racist
00:26:51.320 and objectionable messages.
00:26:53.260 The police got involved,
00:26:55.280 went and tracked down
00:26:56.340 the source of these messages,
00:26:57.480 turns out the culprit
00:26:58.720 was a 12-year-old boy.
00:27:00.920 A 12-year-old
00:27:01.800 who was sending
00:27:02.200 mean messages
00:27:02.820 to a grown man,
00:27:03.860 a soccer player.
00:27:04.840 Now,
00:27:05.920 in a sane world,
00:27:07.200 the story ends there.
00:27:08.580 The boy's parents
00:27:09.320 deal with his bad behavior,
00:27:10.540 maybe ground him,
00:27:11.320 take away his video games,
00:27:12.460 you know,
00:27:12.640 something like that,
00:27:13.480 and the rest of the world
00:27:15.060 moves on.
00:27:16.100 But we don't live
00:27:16.800 in such a world,
00:27:17.540 so instead the police
00:27:18.380 arrested the 12-year-old boy
00:27:20.960 for the bad things
00:27:22.660 he wrote online.
00:27:24.820 And nobody seems
00:27:25.880 to have any problem
00:27:26.480 with this either.
00:27:27.540 The police department
00:27:28.320 issued a statement
00:27:28.980 saying the 12-year-old
00:27:29.840 arrested in connection
00:27:31.460 with racist social media
00:27:32.640 messages sent to a footballer
00:27:34.040 has been released
00:27:35.520 under investigation
00:27:37.040 while our inquiries
00:27:37.960 continue.
00:27:39.360 Racism has no place
00:27:40.520 in our society,
00:27:41.260 and we're attempting
00:27:41.720 to contact the footballer
00:27:42.860 to obtain a statement.
00:27:44.060 So they're still investigating.
00:27:46.100 What is there to investigate?
00:27:47.120 It was a 12-year-old
00:27:47.860 saying bad stuff.
00:27:48.960 Zaha also
00:27:52.840 is not stepping in.
00:27:54.900 You know,
00:27:56.040 this is where
00:27:56.680 if it were me,
00:27:57.820 I would step in
00:27:59.580 and say,
00:27:59.880 hey, whoa,
00:28:00.520 okay, guys,
00:28:01.100 we don't need to arrest.
00:28:01.820 I didn't realize
00:28:02.420 there's a 12-year-old.
00:28:03.280 Listen,
00:28:03.620 we don't need to arrest
00:28:04.340 prepubescent children
00:28:05.220 for saying bad things.
00:28:07.060 Let's just,
00:28:07.740 let's calm down, okay?
00:28:09.600 That's not what Zaha
00:28:10.920 is saying.
00:28:11.240 He's fully on board.
00:28:12.520 Here's his statement.
00:28:13.260 He says,
00:28:13.560 very disappointed
00:28:14.280 we didn't get
00:28:15.240 a better result yesterday,
00:28:16.200 but I wanted to come on here
00:28:17.160 to thank all of you
00:28:17.840 for your messages
00:28:18.340 and support.
00:28:19.420 I would also like
00:28:19.960 to thank the West Midlands
00:28:20.860 police for their swift action
00:28:22.300 in making an arrest.
00:28:24.160 People need to understand
00:28:25.040 that whatever your age,
00:28:26.460 your behavior
00:28:26.960 and your words
00:28:27.640 come with consequences
00:28:28.660 and you cannot hide
00:28:30.360 behind social media.
00:28:31.200 So he's fully on board
00:28:32.460 with arresting a 12-year-old.
00:28:37.340 Hodgson is the manager
00:28:38.880 of the soccer team.
00:28:40.000 He says,
00:28:40.280 it's very saddening
00:28:41.200 on the day of a game
00:28:41.940 that a player wakes up
00:28:42.760 to this cowardly
00:28:43.640 and despicable abuse.
00:28:46.980 I think it's right
00:28:47.880 that people
00:28:48.560 were made aware of it.
00:28:49.680 I don't think
00:28:50.220 this is something
00:28:50.940 we should keep quiet about.
00:28:51.940 There is literally
00:28:52.440 no excuse.
00:28:53.220 There is no excuse at all.
00:28:55.960 Cowardly,
00:28:56.460 despicable actions.
00:28:57.460 You're talking about
00:28:58.120 a 12-year-old here.
00:29:01.560 And then,
00:29:02.260 doing a cursory glance online,
00:29:03.940 looking at the comments
00:29:04.680 on Sky News,
00:29:06.520 the Sky News post about this,
00:29:08.300 the comments are probably
00:29:09.140 90% in favor
00:29:10.760 of the arrest
00:29:12.540 of a 12-year-old.
00:29:13.460 with the caveat
00:29:14.620 that many of them
00:29:16.220 are saying
00:29:16.780 the parents
00:29:17.340 also should be arrested.
00:29:18.720 That's their problem
00:29:19.540 with this.
00:29:19.900 It's not that they
00:29:20.340 arrested a 12-year-old
00:29:21.420 for stuff that he wrote
00:29:22.980 online,
00:29:23.480 for mean comments
00:29:24.260 he made to a grown man.
00:29:26.180 It's that they didn't
00:29:26.880 also arrest the parents
00:29:28.260 for it as well.
00:29:30.300 Number four,
00:29:31.120 the head writer
00:29:31.900 for Tucker Carlson's show,
00:29:33.280 Blake Neff,
00:29:33.980 has resigned
00:29:34.740 after someone
00:29:35.600 told the media
00:29:36.460 that he,
00:29:38.180 Neff,
00:29:38.520 has been posting
00:29:39.180 anonymously
00:29:39.840 on a message board
00:29:41.220 for years now
00:29:42.000 and many of his posts
00:29:42.900 are racist and sexist.
00:29:46.180 The media has been
00:29:47.180 having a field day
00:29:47.840 with this,
00:29:48.320 of course,
00:29:48.880 and Fox News
00:29:49.960 came out forcefully
00:29:50.980 to condemn Neff.
00:29:51.880 Here's what they said.
00:29:53.100 We want to make
00:29:53.520 abundantly clear
00:29:54.300 that Fox News media
00:29:55.180 strongly condemns
00:29:56.200 this horrific,
00:29:57.220 racist,
00:29:57.760 misogynistic,
00:29:58.480 and homophobic behavior.
00:30:00.040 Neff's abhorrent conduct
00:30:01.240 was never divulged
00:30:02.060 to the show
00:30:02.460 until Friday,
00:30:03.280 at which point
00:30:04.040 we swiftly accepted
00:30:04.860 his resignation.
00:30:05.660 Make no mistake,
00:30:06.280 actions such as this
00:30:07.000 cannot be
00:30:07.560 and will not be
00:30:08.220 tolerated at any time
00:30:09.100 in any part
00:30:09.560 of our workforce.
00:30:10.020 Now,
00:30:11.360 the interesting thing
00:30:11.880 is that the folks
00:30:12.420 over at NBC
00:30:13.180 have been spiking
00:30:14.400 the football over this,
00:30:16.300 but NBC has just
00:30:18.360 promoted Joy Reid,
00:30:19.680 who is a woman
00:30:20.600 who on her own blog,
00:30:22.760 under her own name,
00:30:24.200 for years,
00:30:25.900 posted stuff
00:30:26.780 that was in line
00:30:28.140 with a lot of the things
00:30:29.080 this guy was writing,
00:30:30.960 particularly when it comes
00:30:32.260 to her comments
00:30:33.460 about homosexuals.
00:30:35.000 And again,
00:30:35.340 she was doing that
00:30:35.880 under her own name,
00:30:37.760 proudly,
00:30:38.440 for years.
00:30:38.800 And rather than
00:30:40.420 accept responsibility,
00:30:41.580 she claimed that
00:30:42.060 she'd been hacked
00:30:42.780 when all this
00:30:43.460 was found out.
00:30:45.340 But NBC,
00:30:46.580 not only does NBC
00:30:48.040 not condemn
00:30:49.140 and fire her,
00:30:50.200 but actually,
00:30:50.860 they're promoting her.
00:30:51.720 They're giving her
00:30:52.120 more airtime.
00:30:54.040 And herein lies
00:30:55.020 another crucial distinction
00:30:56.260 between the left
00:30:56.840 and right.
00:30:58.160 Fox is tripping
00:30:59.100 all over itself,
00:31:00.000 condemning,
00:31:00.860 oh, it's horrific,
00:31:01.780 unimaginable,
00:31:02.600 terrible,
00:31:03.300 he's gone,
00:31:04.020 we're getting rid of him,
00:31:05.000 while NBC grants
00:31:06.020 a larger platform
00:31:07.120 to their own offender.
00:31:09.680 And let me just say also,
00:31:11.000 by the way,
00:31:11.700 horrific
00:31:12.140 is a word
00:31:14.920 that more accurately
00:31:15.920 describes,
00:31:16.900 say,
00:31:17.980 the actions
00:31:18.540 of a serial killer
00:31:19.640 or a school shooter
00:31:20.820 or someone like that.
00:31:23.040 That's a word
00:31:23.980 you pull out
00:31:24.720 when something
00:31:26.800 like that happens.
00:31:27.820 Horrific.
00:31:28.700 Horrific actions.
00:31:30.700 Trolling a message board
00:31:31.900 anonymously
00:31:32.580 is not horrific.
00:31:36.080 It might be bad,
00:31:37.200 it might be objectionable,
00:31:38.900 but I really think
00:31:40.480 we should reserve
00:31:41.100 a word like horrific
00:31:42.180 for actually horrific.
00:31:44.260 Like something that
00:31:45.120 when you hear about it,
00:31:46.920 you are actually horrified.
00:31:48.720 Like it takes your breath away
00:31:49.900 it's so horrifying.
00:31:51.040 That's what horrific is.
00:31:54.420 I've never
00:31:55.260 been aware
00:31:56.860 of any comment
00:31:57.620 on a message board
00:31:58.400 that could possibly
00:31:59.520 rise to that level.
00:32:00.580 But, you know,
00:32:02.160 that's just me.
00:32:03.580 Number five,
00:32:04.280 finally,
00:32:04.800 we must pause
00:32:05.680 to honor
00:32:06.740 this hero.
00:32:10.360 Watch.
00:32:11.700 You take a picture of me.
00:32:13.000 Does that make you feel better?
00:32:14.220 Why don't you get a life, ladies?
00:32:15.720 Dude, I have a life.
00:32:16.900 And they're going around
00:32:18.220 taking pictures of people?
00:32:19.340 Yes, because of what you're doing.
00:32:20.900 Can you not follow
00:32:21.900 the lions on the floor?
00:32:23.320 Keep your mouth running.
00:32:24.400 The governor,
00:32:25.380 the mayor
00:32:26.520 is asking us all
00:32:27.420 to wear a mask
00:32:28.120 and look at you
00:32:28.820 not wearing a mask.
00:32:30.020 Oh, dear.
00:32:30.460 I wear a mask
00:32:31.260 to protect myself.
00:32:32.000 People have made this
00:32:32.240 a f***ing political.
00:32:33.820 It's unbelievable.
00:32:35.240 Now, you have accosted me
00:32:36.680 in this store.
00:32:37.560 You have accosted me
00:32:38.560 when you came upon me
00:32:39.620 within six weeks
00:32:40.400 not wearing a mask.
00:32:41.280 And if you're going
00:32:41.880 to keep this up,
00:32:42.820 maybe we'll get
00:32:43.440 the police department
00:32:44.500 in here.
00:32:44.760 Hey, Mom,
00:32:44.980 what'd you call 911 then?
00:32:46.340 Yeah, yeah.
00:32:48.220 Oh, God, another one.
00:32:49.720 You people are like monkeys
00:32:51.160 falling out of a tree.
00:32:52.700 No, you're the monkey
00:32:53.680 that hasn't
00:32:54.300 dragging those knuckles
00:32:56.600 that you've not
00:32:57.200 in my f***.
00:32:58.340 Okay, how's that grab you?
00:32:59.900 Ever heard of
00:33:00.420 Dioranism, evolution?
00:33:02.540 Evolve, mister.
00:33:04.220 Why don't you
00:33:04.900 burn something down?
00:33:06.620 Why don't you
00:33:07.180 go back to where you were?
00:33:08.480 Why don't you
00:33:08.820 go back to where you were?
00:33:10.440 You must be the one
00:33:13.180 who's...
00:33:13.360 Are you burning crosses?
00:33:14.880 Are you burning crosses?
00:33:16.060 People are f***ing idiots, man.
00:33:17.580 You are.
00:33:17.780 No, you're the idiot.
00:33:18.880 Yeah, yeah.
00:33:19.740 But you're the one
00:33:20.700 playing your life
00:33:22.020 on a freaking computer.
00:33:23.820 You have no life.
00:33:24.880 It's not a computer.
00:33:25.280 So this is what
00:33:26.160 your life is?
00:33:27.060 It's a cell phone.
00:33:27.580 It's a cell phone.
00:33:27.600 Dude, I have
00:33:28.240 doing my shopping.
00:33:30.020 It's a cell phone.
00:33:30.420 Unbelievable.
00:33:31.660 You're unbelievable.
00:33:33.000 Yeah, yeah.
00:33:33.500 I bet you wouldn't wear...
00:33:34.340 Good luck with the virus.
00:33:35.700 Good luck with the virus.
00:33:37.100 Your whole family tree
00:33:38.380 is getting c***ed off
00:33:39.420 at its roots.
00:33:40.960 That man...
00:33:42.240 We need to build
00:33:43.140 a statue to that man
00:33:44.720 and guard it.
00:33:45.880 We need to put
00:33:46.280 post-armed guards
00:33:47.560 around the statue 24-7
00:33:48.920 so that no harm
00:33:49.740 comes to the statue.
00:33:51.360 But I...
00:33:52.120 And this is not...
00:33:53.000 I think we should be clear.
00:33:53.920 You know,
00:33:54.260 we've seen a lot
00:33:55.000 of these videos
00:33:55.620 involving people
00:33:56.920 wearing masks
00:33:57.600 or not wearing masks
00:33:58.580 and everything.
00:33:59.480 And sometimes
00:34:01.160 there are people
00:34:01.740 who go in to places
00:34:03.800 without the mask on.
00:34:04.800 They're the ones filming
00:34:05.980 and they're trying
00:34:06.880 to make a scene
00:34:07.580 or a statement out of it,
00:34:08.360 which I think
00:34:08.660 is really stupid.
00:34:09.220 But this is a guy...
00:34:10.420 He's not looking...
00:34:11.120 He wasn't looking
00:34:11.940 for any attention.
00:34:12.640 He wasn't making a statement
00:34:13.640 or making a scene.
00:34:14.440 He just...
00:34:15.100 He had the shopping list
00:34:16.380 from his wife in his hand.
00:34:17.260 You could see there.
00:34:18.360 And he was just going in
00:34:19.700 to buy some stuff.
00:34:20.860 And he wanted to go
00:34:21.700 about his day.
00:34:23.180 He wasn't bothering anybody.
00:34:24.060 He wasn't hurting anybody.
00:34:25.700 If you're worried
00:34:26.660 that he's going to
00:34:27.280 spread a disease to you,
00:34:29.040 then just keep walking.
00:34:32.100 Go to a different aisle.
00:34:33.360 Avoid him.
00:34:34.980 If you're really scared about it,
00:34:36.260 you don't surround him
00:34:37.820 and get within six feet
00:34:39.380 and start shouting at him.
00:34:41.000 Get into a shouting match.
00:34:42.380 That's not what you would do
00:34:43.820 if you're really worried
00:34:44.580 that someone's going
00:34:45.100 to spread a disease to you.
00:34:46.440 But I thought he handled that.
00:34:48.120 Just every part of the way
00:34:49.380 he handled that was great.
00:34:52.240 And that is just...
00:34:53.280 That's a classic dad right there.
00:34:55.100 Okay?
00:34:55.340 He's got the t-shirt tucked in,
00:34:56.720 the jorts,
00:34:58.280 the glorious beer gut.
00:35:01.360 He's got the white shoes,
00:35:03.000 the socks pulled up,
00:35:04.960 you know,
00:35:05.280 shopping list from his wife,
00:35:06.620 hat on.
00:35:07.380 Okay, that is a dad.
00:35:08.860 And you don't tangle.
00:35:10.220 You don't tangle
00:35:10.900 with a classic dad.
00:35:11.860 Some of these new age dads,
00:35:13.100 maybe you could get away with that.
00:35:14.760 But not this dad.
00:35:17.100 Those ladies,
00:35:17.780 they should have known that.
00:35:18.840 Okay?
00:35:19.020 This is not...
00:35:20.280 Go pick on someone else.
00:35:22.600 And you know what else
00:35:23.240 is going to happen?
00:35:23.960 I guarantee this, okay?
00:35:26.160 That guy
00:35:26.920 went home
00:35:28.940 and either
00:35:31.780 didn't mention
00:35:32.740 this event at all
00:35:34.060 to his wife
00:35:34.580 or told her about it
00:35:36.620 in about three minutes
00:35:37.540 and then went outside
00:35:38.400 to mow the grass.
00:35:39.640 And that was it.
00:35:40.580 And he stopped thinking about it.
00:35:42.300 Meanwhile,
00:35:42.800 those women,
00:35:43.600 I guarantee you,
00:35:44.800 they went home
00:35:45.660 to their tortured husbands
00:35:47.240 and told them this story
00:35:50.240 in about a three-hour-long saga.
00:35:52.460 You know,
00:35:52.680 the story taking
00:35:53.660 a hundred times longer
00:35:55.340 than the actual event itself
00:35:56.440 that it's meant to describe.
00:35:57.420 and are still talking
00:35:59.720 and called all their friends
00:36:01.140 and they're going to be
00:36:01.620 talking about it
00:36:02.480 at Thanksgiving.
00:36:05.260 Guaranteed.
00:36:08.800 But then again,
00:36:09.620 as a man,
00:36:10.060 if you choose to marry
00:36:10.960 a woman like that,
00:36:11.740 I guess you really
00:36:13.200 bring it on yourself.
00:36:14.640 Let's go to our,
00:36:15.720 finally,
00:36:16.020 our daily cancellation.
00:36:17.140 Today,
00:36:17.580 in what is probably
00:36:18.280 my most important
00:36:19.060 cancellation today,
00:36:19.940 I'll be canceling
00:36:20.880 the makers of
00:36:22.540 Slip and Slide
00:36:23.340 for causing
00:36:24.060 the injuries
00:36:25.320 that I'm currently
00:36:25.960 suffering from.
00:36:27.420 We got a Slip and Slide,
00:36:28.480 a Finding Nemo
00:36:29.460 Slip and Slide
00:36:30.020 to be precise.
00:36:31.200 And because I'm
00:36:31.780 a loving father,
00:36:33.140 I decided that
00:36:33.940 I needed to try it out
00:36:35.060 and just test it
00:36:37.940 to make sure it's safe.
00:36:40.180 You know,
00:36:40.920 it's the same philosophy,
00:36:43.020 of course,
00:36:43.360 with Halloween candy.
00:36:45.780 You know,
00:36:45.880 I always make sure
00:36:46.940 that I eat
00:36:47.480 about half of it
00:36:49.300 just to really be sure
00:36:51.160 that there's no poison
00:36:51.940 or anything.
00:36:52.320 So,
00:36:54.140 I tested it
00:36:54.960 about six or seven times,
00:36:56.460 again,
00:36:56.780 just to ensure
00:36:57.260 the safety of the device.
00:36:59.160 And that's when
00:36:59.700 I sustained
00:37:00.240 my life-threatening injuries,
00:37:01.580 as this footage
00:37:02.500 recorded by my wife
00:37:03.460 clearly shows.
00:37:04.520 This is difficult to watch.
00:37:07.000 It's a little bit gruesome,
00:37:08.360 but here it is.
00:37:09.320 Yes,
00:37:16.600 pretty awful.
00:37:18.380 I tumbled right over
00:37:19.160 the end of it
00:37:19.620 onto the grass,
00:37:20.520 rolling and flopping around
00:37:22.060 like a wounded fish
00:37:23.820 with Nemo's eyes
00:37:25.140 staring at me,
00:37:26.460 mockingly.
00:37:27.840 There's not nearly
00:37:28.660 enough runway
00:37:29.260 on that thing
00:37:30.040 for a man my size.
00:37:31.000 It needs to be about
00:37:31.520 50 or 60 feet longer.
00:37:33.140 Now,
00:37:33.320 some people have told me
00:37:34.040 that Slip and Slides
00:37:34.900 are not made
00:37:36.600 for 34-year-old men
00:37:37.660 and that actually
00:37:38.260 there's a huge
00:37:38.860 warning label
00:37:39.520 right on it
00:37:40.080 saying,
00:37:40.920 don't use this
00:37:41.360 if you're over
00:37:41.760 the age of 12.
00:37:42.540 Fatal injury could occur.
00:37:44.800 Others told me
00:37:45.560 I shouldn't have
00:37:46.280 put it on a hill.
00:37:47.960 Others told me
00:37:48.460 I shouldn't be wearing
00:37:49.080 a shirt for water activities
00:37:50.440 like a fat kid.
00:37:52.620 All of this
00:37:53.500 is nothing but
00:37:54.740 victim shaming
00:37:55.400 and body shaming.
00:37:57.700 The fact that
00:37:58.700 any of you
00:37:59.600 would rationalize
00:38:00.680 my abuse
00:38:01.580 and take the side
00:38:03.480 of my abuser
00:38:04.360 slip and slide
00:38:05.660 just shows
00:38:06.960 how much work
00:38:07.440 we have yet to do
00:38:08.160 in this society.
00:38:08.660 We think we've
00:38:09.100 made progress
00:38:09.680 but we have not
00:38:10.260 made nearly enough
00:38:10.920 progress.
00:38:11.340 I have three
00:38:11.740 broken ribs,
00:38:13.500 a ruptured
00:38:14.240 spleen,
00:38:14.660 a punctured lung
00:38:15.340 or at least
00:38:16.820 I feel like
00:38:17.480 that's what I have
00:38:18.180 which is the same
00:38:19.900 thing as having it
00:38:20.700 and I blame
00:38:22.740 everyone for this.
00:38:23.480 I blame
00:38:23.840 the makers
00:38:25.000 of Slip and Slide.
00:38:25.840 I blame
00:38:26.360 my children
00:38:27.460 who are all
00:38:28.940 canceled as well.
00:38:30.780 I mean,
00:38:30.960 they're the ones
00:38:31.380 who cheered me on.
00:38:32.240 They should have
00:38:34.820 known that I was
00:38:35.200 putting my life
00:38:35.900 at risk
00:38:36.380 and stepped in
00:38:37.000 to prevent it.
00:38:37.440 My three-year-old
00:38:38.100 was standing there
00:38:38.980 just applauding.
00:38:43.260 Why didn't he
00:38:43.900 stand in the way
00:38:44.500 and say,
00:38:44.920 no father,
00:38:45.520 I can't let you
00:38:46.220 do this.
00:38:47.000 The results
00:38:47.520 will be calamitous.
00:38:49.320 Desist father,
00:38:50.200 I beg you.
00:38:51.560 Why didn't he
00:38:52.120 say that?
00:38:53.480 My nine-month-old
00:38:54.380 is just sitting there.
00:38:58.160 Sat in silence.
00:38:59.320 Silence is violence.
00:39:00.360 Silence said nothing.
00:39:02.620 My wife,
00:39:03.420 needless to say,
00:39:03.940 also is canceled.
00:39:04.720 So everybody
00:39:05.460 is canceled
00:39:06.020 and I will do my best
00:39:09.820 to heal
00:39:11.160 from my injuries.
00:39:13.700 But I just want to say
00:39:14.540 it's not just
00:39:15.260 my physical injuries
00:39:16.300 as horrendous
00:39:20.460 as those are.
00:39:21.180 It's the emotional injuries
00:39:22.140 and the feeling
00:39:23.020 of betrayal
00:39:23.760 that I now
00:39:26.100 must live with
00:39:27.060 for the rest of my life.
00:39:30.360 And we'll leave it
00:39:31.820 on that rather sad note.
00:39:33.940 Thanks for watching,
00:39:34.760 everybody.
00:39:35.060 Thank you for listening.
00:39:36.600 I gotta go ice up.
00:39:39.300 Godspeed.
