A generation of spoiled, entitled brats have decided that they re actually oppressed, even though they ve had the easiest lives in the world has to offer.

Today on The Matt Wall Show, a generation of spoiled, entitled brats have decided that
00:00:04.720
they're actually oppressed, even though they've had really the easiest lives that the world has
00:00:10.140
to offer. And that's why we've seen all this chaos and destruction in the streets the past two
00:00:14.580
months. But normal law-abiding Americans are finally getting sick of it and responding in
00:00:19.480
kind. And I think it's only going to get uglier from here. So we'll talk about all of that today.
00:00:23.240
Also, five headlines, including confirmation from the government, essentially, that space aliens
00:00:28.220
exist. And the really shocking thing is that nobody cares. We've got better things to worry
00:00:35.900
about, apparently. And in our daily cancellation, we cancel Netflix for pushing the harmful,
00:00:40.660
insane myth of transgender children, quote unquote. All of that on the way. But first,
1.00
00:00:46.460
the show today brought to you by rockauto.com. You know, it's so much easier going to rockauto.com
00:00:51.920
than walking into a store and having to provide all the answers for all the questions they might
00:00:57.580
have for you. And then usually they're not going to have the part you want anyway. You're just going
00:01:00.560
to have to order it online. So why not cut to the chase? You've got access to rockauto.com at your
00:01:04.680
desk, in your pocket. And that's what I do when I have car trouble. I go to rockauto.com. I've been
00:01:09.780
going there for months and it's been a lifesaver every time. Rockauto.com always offers the lowest
00:01:14.240
prices possible. And it's a fair, it's a family business too. So, you know, they've been doing this
00:01:19.360
for 20 years, doing it a long time. Very honest family business. Best of all, the prices at
00:01:23.120
rockauto.com are always reliably low. And they've got that great selection. Go to rockauto.com right
00:01:28.740
now. You can see all the parts available for your car or truck. Remember to write Walsh in their
00:01:34.860
how did you hear about us box so that they know that we sent you. Okay. Now, what we're watching
00:01:40.400
play out right now, I think, is what happens when you take a generation of people, instill in them
00:01:47.340
an overriding sense of entitlement. Give them lives of immeasurable comfort and ease. Grant them
00:01:55.300
every right and liberty known to man. And even some rights and liberties up to this point, unknown to
00:02:01.320
man. But then at the same time, you tell them somehow, incredibly, that they are oppressed and
00:02:07.520
that they're victims. And finally, after decades of this sort of schizophrenic conditioning, you give
00:02:12.980
them free reign to cause whatever chaos and anarchy and destruction they want. All in the name of
00:02:17.940
justice, of course. And the next step in that process is the part that we're seeing now when
00:02:24.020
everybody else gets tired of the madness, tired of being held hostage by these brats, tired of living
00:02:30.520
in fear of the mob, and starts responding in kind. And that chapter of the story is just beginning now,
00:02:35.720
it seems. And the next chapter will be even uglier. In fact, it's only ugliness preceded by even
00:02:42.240
uglier ugliness from here on out, unless something is done to reverse the process, or at least to stop
00:02:49.140
it from progressing any further than it already has. What I want to focus on today, though, is
00:02:53.840
that entitlement. You know, entitlement on steroids is what we're witnessing. Protesters, rioters who
00:03:03.680
believe that they are invincible, who believe they actually have the right, the God-given or whoever-given
00:03:10.360
right to shut down roads, stop traffic, intimidate, harass, assault, burn, loot, pillage, without
00:03:17.260
consequence. This isn't like a figure of speech when I say they think they have the right. They really do
00:03:22.040
believe that they have the right to do it. Now, there were riots and chaos in cities all across the
00:03:29.460
country over the weekend, as usual. Let me give you a few examples of the entitlement on display by these
00:03:36.200
people by focusing on a few incidents specifically, all right? First, let me show you this. This is a
00:03:42.820
protester named Julia Clark, and she posted a long Twitter thread, long and righteously indignant,
0.98
00:03:50.100
complaining about a horrible, evil woman who had the audacity to drive down the road, the very road
1.00
00:03:56.740
that Julia Clark had decided was shut down. And if Julia Clark decides that a road is closed, well,
1.00
00:04:02.180
then, damn it, it's closed. And that's all there is to it. And how dare anyone defy her? So here she is.
0.97
00:04:09.020
She says, let me speak on what happened in Georgetown tonight. Hashtag DC protest. Hashtag Georgetown Karen.
00:04:16.240
Tonight, concerned of DC, an activist group, apparently another one, because we didn't have enough of those
00:04:21.960
already, led a siren slash noise pollution protest where we blocked off streets in Georgetown. The police
00:04:28.180
presence was heavy. As we blocked off streets, we demanded that people turn around. This was a minor
00:04:33.320
inconvenience for this affluent white neighborhood. You see how this is presented sort of matter of
00:04:38.160
factly? Yeah, we blocked off streets and demanded that people turn around, using the word demanded,
00:04:44.220
which I like. The thought doesn't even enter her mind that perhaps she has no right or authority to do
00:04:52.400
any of that. It doesn't occur to her that other humans exist on the planet, and that just because she feels
00:04:59.400
like it would be fun and worthwhile to shut down part of the city, there may be other people who strongly
00:05:04.680
disagree with her about that, and that she has no right to impose herself on those people. And that in trying to
1.00
00:05:11.180
impose herself on those people, she makes herself into the aggressor, the undisputed bad guy in the situation.
00:05:18.660
None of this occurs to Julia Clark. Just doesn't even enter her mind. Here's more. She says,
00:05:24.520
as we blocked streets, certain drivers got annoyed and attempted to maneuver their way around us.
00:05:29.100
This particular white woman tried to cut through a gas station. Me and a couple other protesters stood
1.00
00:05:34.020
in front of her car and demanded she turn around. Instead, she steps on the gas. And you can see the
00:05:39.600
footage there. Notice this white woman, as she's continually described, tries to go around them.
0.99
00:05:51.180
She tries to cut through a gas station. But Julia Clark and her comrades are incensed that this white
0.84
00:05:56.660
woman has defied her orders. She's not even in the... She's not actually going through them. She's trying
1.00
00:06:03.600
to go around them. But Julia says, I don't know. This whole road we've closed. How dare you? You
00:06:09.940
can't do this. We told you not to. And so they chase her down and jump on her car. And when the evil
00:06:18.140
white woman keeps driving, because she's scared to death now and panicked, understandably,
0.99
00:06:23.820
Julia claims that she's been run over. I mean, she or her friends, whoever it was,
00:06:29.720
jumping on a moving vehicle and then claiming that the vehicle they jumped on ran them over.
00:06:37.760
This is like that scene in Fight Club when Edward Norton beats the hell out of himself
00:06:42.400
while begging his boss to stop beating him. This is just like that. And this thread goes on for a
00:06:49.760
while longer, ending with Julia simultaneously whining that the police didn't come to her aid
00:06:54.760
and also saying that the police are awful and she'd be defunded. So she's mad that they weren't
00:07:00.140
there for her, yet she also doesn't want them to exist at all. You see. It doesn't end there.
00:07:07.280
Let's continue this tour of maniacal entitlement. This is a fun one. Here's footage from one of the
00:07:17.340
protests. I'm not sure which city this is from. This is a young woman screaming in police officers'
00:07:24.860
faces, taunting them, and then reacting in horror when they finally had enough. Watch this.
00:07:33.020
Or effing what, she asks. And, well, they answer.
00:08:03.000
I mean, she asked a question. She got an answer. Can't complain about that. And notice how her
0.99
00:08:08.000
friends scream in horror. You know, there's always a woman. There's always a woman in all these videos
00:08:13.200
screeching loudly in the background because these tough, scary Antifa warriors become damsels in
0.97
00:08:19.180
distress the moment someone kicks them in the shins. You know, one minute they're Mel Gibson
0.77
00:08:24.500
in Braveheart riding down the battle line, blue face paint, you know, rallying the troops shouting about
00:08:31.420
freedom. And the next minute they're like my three-year-old crying over a scraped knee and asking
00:08:35.520
for mommy to kiss his boo-boo. You even hear one woman ask in shock, are you serious? Are you serious?
00:08:44.000
It's a revealing question. And the answer is, yes, ma'am, they are serious. See, life is a game to you,
00:08:50.020
clearly, but it's not to those officers. And it's not to a lot of the rest of us. It's not to the
00:08:54.200
businesses that are being shut down or burned down or vandalized, that are losing their livelihood
00:08:58.900
because of people like you. Okay? For them, it's all serious. For you, it's not.
00:09:07.340
Because you're out here, you know, you're out here, you know, costume party pretending to be a
00:09:12.640
freedom fighter. But I want you to stop and consider, consider the woman who got herself
00:09:18.420
escorted away by the police. You know, she's up in their faces. She's screaming. She's angry. She's
00:09:23.900
infuriated about something. Meanwhile, she's a young, attractive woman in America.
00:09:29.040
As such, she has the easiest life that the world has to offer any group. Okay? I'll tell you this
00:09:37.440
right now. The life of an attractive young woman in America is by far the easiest for any demographic
00:09:45.620
outside of royalty. Outside of royalty and political elites and like billionaires,
00:09:51.500
next best thing, be a young, attractive woman in America. So why is she so angry? Like,
1.00
00:09:58.380
she's angry at this. What does the system ever do to her? The system loves her. The system will do
00:10:03.100
anything for her. But nonetheless, she's aggrieved somehow because part of being entitled is to feel
00:10:09.780
perpetually aggrieved no matter what all the time, even if there's no reason whatsoever to have that
00:10:15.520
feeling. And, um, continuing the tour here. Then we have, uh, this person.
00:10:22.200
You treat us like rich! You purposely us! You beat us back! We did nothing!
00:10:32.820
No further comment there is necessary. I, uh, we'll move on. Back to the action in DC. Um,
00:10:42.940
there's another activist who posted this. The cap, the caption says,
00:10:46.620
block the bridge and an old white couple refuse to turn around like everybody else. So we'll keep
1.00
00:10:51.180
them company. And then you see the footage of them surrounding the vehicle standing there.
00:10:55.260
They're bragging about intimidating and harassing an elderly couple. This is something they're proud
1.00
00:11:01.420
of. And they think people will be on their side because we, as the people, as the others in the
00:11:07.400
world, um, we, as the world, our only job in their minds is to agree with them and support them no
00:11:14.520
matter what they do. The entire world for them serves no purpose but to provide them continual
00:11:22.220
affirmation. That as far as those people at the protest, as far as they're concerned, the only reason
00:11:28.580
you exist, the only reason is to affirm them in whatever they do. So if you're trying to drive down
00:11:35.920
the road, I mean, it doesn't matter what you're doing. You could be trying to get to work. You
00:11:38.940
could be trying to visit a sick relative. You could have your, your, your child in the car
00:11:42.640
trying to bring them to the hospital. Doesn't matter. None of that matters. All of that is
00:11:47.540
secondary to, to their needs and their wants and what they want, which is why they think nothing of
00:11:54.060
just every night, just shutting down roads. They cannot imagine any reason a person would have
00:12:00.220
to want to use that road that could be, um, that could take priority over their reason for shutting
00:12:07.020
it down. And by the way, their reason for shutting it down is they have no reason. There's no reason
00:12:12.760
for any of this. What's the, what, what do you try, what exactly are you trying to achieve by stopping
00:12:18.700
this old couple from driving down the road? Like what, what did they do to you? Well, we know what they
00:12:26.960
did to you. They just, they disobeyed. That's the problem. Um, now that brings us finally to the
00:12:33.460
story of Garrett Foster. Okay. This is all, uh, really context and set up for Garrett Foster, uh,
00:12:41.140
a BLM protester in Austin who came out to the protest on, uh, I guess it was Saturday strapped
00:12:48.280
with an AK 47. Garrett and his comrades were marching in the street, blocking traffic as usual.
00:12:53.660
When suddenly the crowd became angry at one car for committing the unspeakable sin of trying to
00:12:59.000
drive on the road. And so they ran and they swarmed the car, uh, surrounded it. Foster approached with
00:13:06.020
his AK 47 and moments later he was dead. Foster was not the driver. The driver shot and killed him.
00:13:13.140
The driver says that Foster pointed the weapon at him. Other witnesses, Garrett's fellow protesters
00:13:18.700
dispute that claim, say he didn't point it. I mean, you decide who to trust here.
00:13:22.540
Um, and naturally of course the left has rallied to Foster's defense, making him out to be a hero,
0.53
00:13:27.780
even though he's a white man with an AK 47, normally the very picture of evil, uh, according
0.86
00:13:33.880
to the left. But, but, but in this case they're, they're, they're all about it. They, they, they,
0.55
00:13:38.700
they've decided a great love. They've, they've discovered a great love suddenly for so-called
00:13:43.480
assault weapons. And, and he's standing in the street aggressively approaching a vehicle.
00:13:48.860
Contrast that with the left's response, um, to the couple that stood on their own property,
00:13:55.820
holding weapons as protesters walked by. Those people were terrorists. Those were domestic
0.88
00:14:00.680
terrorists says the left for holding weapons on their own property. Garrett Foster is, is,
00:14:06.940
is on the other hand, a hero apparently for holding a weapon in the middle of the street,
00:14:12.420
blocking traffic. So you can't hold a weapon on your own property, but in the middle of the street,
00:14:17.240
blocking traffic. Well, that's okay. That's that's totally fine. But I want to, I want you to
00:14:22.500
watch this clip. Um, so that, that's, that's what happened later in the night, but here's a clip
00:14:30.340
from shortly before this fatal encounter. Um, and this is a clip of Garrett Foster being interviewed
00:14:38.460
by someone asked about why he's carrying an AK-47. Listen to what he has to say.
00:14:43.880
What do you got it out tonight? They don't let us march in the streets anymore. So got to
00:14:54.980
practice some, some of our rights. Do you feel like you'll need to use it?
00:15:01.140
No, I think the, uh, I mean, if I use it against the cops, I'm dead. And I think all the people
00:15:10.800
that hate us and, you know, want to say to us are too big of a to stop and actually do anything
00:15:17.780
about it. So why'd you start carrying? Well, our roommate got arrested and they stopped
00:15:23.480
letting us march anywhere. Okay. So he says the people who oppose him are quote, pardon the French
0.52
00:15:33.820
to do anything. And, uh, those are among the last words that he ever spoke on earth.
00:15:43.200
Now there's a lot about this case that we don't know, and I'm sure more details will come out as
00:15:48.320
time progresses, but this should go without saying you have no right to block traffic.
00:15:54.860
You have no right to swarm a vehicle. And if you do that with an AK-47 strapped to your body,
00:16:00.560
whether you point it or not, you have nonetheless given the driver of the car reason to fear for his
00:16:05.980
life. So I say it again, this shouldn't need to be said, but it does. You have no right to block
00:16:14.080
the street and swarm vehicles. How else can I explain this? I don't know how else to put it.
00:16:20.060
It's very simple. You have no right to do it. This is not the first amendment. The first amendment
00:16:26.940
does not give you the right to stand in the middle of the road and just decide what roads are going to
00:16:31.440
be shut down that night. And if any, and if anyone, uh, defies your orders to swarm around them,
00:16:36.700
beat on the vehicle and do all that. You have zero right to do that. If you do it, you might get hurt.
00:16:43.020
If you do it in Texas, you might especially get hurt. And when you do get hurt, you have only
00:16:48.660
yourself to blame. You were in the wrong doing what you had no right to do. But going back to
00:16:56.360
that clip of Foster speaking, he makes it clear that he wasn't carrying the weapon because he feared
00:17:02.260
for his life. He makes that he's, he's, he's very explicit about that. No, according to him,
00:17:08.020
um, the opposition are a bunch of wimps that he's not carrying it because he he's worried about,
00:17:12.160
there's been threats against his life or he's worried about being attacked or something.
00:17:15.580
No, he says, they're not, they're not going to do anything. He says he was wearing it expressly
00:17:20.480
to intimidate. And he felt that he was invincible, untouchable. He's, he's, he's clear about that in
00:17:26.740
that, in that clip. And he learned otherwise. And he learned the hard way, sadly. Um,
00:17:32.660
you know, when you go around trying to intimidate people, eventually someone might take you seriously.
00:17:42.320
So Garrett Foster was carrying that AK 47, walking around, intimidating people. Uh, it's all a game
00:17:47.520
to him. And he's again, very explicit about that. He says, ah, they're all a bunch of wimps. I got to
00:17:53.080
do anything. And cause that had been his experience up till that point. Eventually someone came along
00:18:00.800
who was going to take him at his word. Um, and I fear that there are going to be a lot more Garrett
00:18:09.760
Fosters out there. There are going to be many more people learning the hard way that they cannot go
00:18:15.060
around behaving and living as though the very planet itself will stop spinning. If they say so
00:18:20.420
the media and their Democrat allies are whispering in these people's ears, shouting more like encouraging
00:18:27.560
them in their delusional narcissism and entitlement, but the rest of the country is tired of it. Sick to
00:18:34.340
death, fed up really, and truly and deeply and rightly outraged. Um, so I think there are going to be
00:18:44.980
many more wake up calls yet to come, unfortunately, unless we put a stop to this.
00:18:53.300
All right, let's move on to our, um, five headlines.
00:19:06.400
You know, as we talk about all this news, uh, by the way, Ben Shapiro has a new book out called
00:19:10.840
how to destroy America in three easy steps that relates to, you know, everything going on in the
00:19:15.860
news, uh, because it's a, it's a very prescient book. The book covers two fundamentally different
00:19:20.940
visions of America that are now on the table. One vision is unifying and finds our unity and
00:19:25.440
shared philosophy and culture and history. The other disintegrates our country in the name of
0.98
00:19:29.400
fundamental change, how to destroy America. Three easy steps details, how this alternate worldview has
00:19:34.600
gained so much culture, uh, cultural ground so quickly. And, uh, I'd really recommend the book.
00:19:39.540
You can pick it up on Amazon or at Barnes and Noble right now. Number one, we begin with this,
00:19:44.860
which, you know, to my mind should be the top headline everywhere. Uh, it, you know, it really
00:19:50.520
should have been what I started the show with and what every show starts with a report in the New York
00:19:54.820
Times about the Pentagon's UFO program. Okay. This is, this is some pretty incredible stuff. So listen
00:20:00.240
to this says, despite Pentagon statements that it disbanded, it disbanded a once covert program to
00:20:05.720
investigate unidentified flying objects. The effort remains underway, renamed and tucked inside the
00:20:11.400
office of Naval intelligence where officials continue to study, study mystifying encounters
00:20:15.720
between military pilots and unidentified aerial vehicles. Pentagon officials will not discuss
00:20:20.620
the program, which is not classified, but deals with classified matters. Yet it appeared last month
00:20:25.140
in a Senate committee report outlining spending on the nation's intelligence agencies for the coming
00:20:29.480
year. Uh, the report said the program, the unidentified aerial phenomenon task force was to
00:20:37.040
standardize collection and reporting on sightings of unexplained aerial vehicles and was to report
00:20:41.320
at least some of its findings to the public within 180 days after the passage, um, of the act.
00:20:47.500
Okay. Uh, let me get to the, there's, there's a lot of, I recommend, I rarely recommend New York
00:20:52.380
Times articles, but this one I'll recommend. There's a lot of information in it. Uh, let me get to a
00:20:56.840
couple of highlights here. For more than a decade, the Pentagon program has been conducting classified
00:21:02.920
briefings for congressional committees, aerospace company executives, and other government officials,
00:21:07.240
according to interviews with program participants. In some cases, earthly explanations
00:21:11.180
have been found for previously unexplained incidents. Um, even lacking a plausible terrestrial
00:21:17.820
explanation does not make an extraterrestrial one. The most likely astrophysicists say
00:21:21.680
Mr. Reed, uh, Harry Reed, the former democratic center from Nevada, who pushed for funding the
00:21:26.740
earlier UFO program when he was the majority leader said he believed that crashes of objects of unknown
00:21:31.600
origin may have occurred and that retrieved materials should be studied. Okay. Now here comes the part we
00:21:36.680
should, you really need to listen to Eric W. Davis, an astrophysicist who worked as a subcontractor
00:21:42.560
and then a consultant for the Pentagon UFO program since 2007 said that in some cases examination of
00:21:49.480
the materials had so far failed to determine their source and had led him to conclude quote,
00:21:54.120
we couldn't make it ourselves. Um, Mr. Davis, who now works for the aerospace corporation,
00:22:00.320
a defense contractor said he gave a classified briefing to a defense department agency as recently
00:22:05.520
as March about retrievals from quote, off world vehicles, not made on this earth. Okay. There's
00:22:11.940
the money quote right there. It only took me 15 minutes to get to it. So that is an astrophysicist
00:22:17.820
who worked for the Pentagon publicly confirming on the record to the New York times that they have
00:22:23.960
retrieved alien spacecraft. That that's what he just said in this New York times article that strikes
00:22:30.360
me as like a pretty big deal. Yet everyone is just like, Oh, Oh, aliens. Cool. Oh, aliens. What else is
00:22:42.920
on TV? Uh, there has been very little reaction to this somehow, even though the Pentagon, the Pentagon
00:22:50.200
is basically standing there and telling us, yes, space aliens exist folks. We make a big deal out of
00:22:57.980
everything that happens in the world, except this somehow. Now I admit to that, that I still have
00:23:07.160
a fair amount of skepticism, even in spite of this. I fully admit that, uh, because all, you know,
00:23:13.360
all joking aside, well, this isn't a joke at all, but I do have some skepticism, even though I believe
00:23:17.520
that I certainly believe there are intelligent civilizations out there in the universe. It seems
00:23:20.780
almost mathematically impossible that there wouldn't be with a hundred billion, a hundred billion
00:23:24.500
galaxies and a hundred billion stars in each of those galaxies. And, you know, trillions upon
00:23:28.900
trillions of planets. I mean, there are probably millions of intelligent civilizations. It's just
00:23:33.140
that the, the distances, as I've always said, the distances are so vast that it seems likely to me
00:23:39.320
that, that, that it's just impossible to traverse them or that, um, no civilization could advance that
00:23:45.940
far within their technology without destroying themselves first. The kind of the cynical view,
00:23:53.460
but I think there's something to that, but even so, I mean, this seems like a pretty big deal.
00:23:58.260
Anyways, it's very interesting at least, and nobody cares. Uh, but let's go number two here.
00:24:05.120
Here's rather than caring about aliens, here's something that people did care about this weekend.
00:24:11.200
Uh, here's, here's a clip that went viral. Watch this. And video games are a real problem.
00:24:17.220
They're real problem. You know why? Because they're fun and you don't. Yeah. Well, I'm,
00:24:22.740
I have a real problem with them and you, you, you do them and they're real exciting,
00:24:27.600
but you don't get anywhere. Right. It's like, you could do like, like martial arts, right?
00:24:31.460
You could learn jujitsu. You get obsessed by jujitsu. And then three years later, you're,
00:24:37.300
you're like an elite jujitsu athlete. You're like, you're entering in competitions. You're a purple
0.99
00:24:41.840
belt. You're moving up. Yeah. You're doing well. You thinking like, I might be able to open my own
00:24:45.780
school one day. You got confidence. Yeah. If I have a hundred students and those hundred students
00:24:49.520
are paying me X amount of dollars per month, I can make a living. Holy shit. I can have a,
0.99
00:24:53.720
this would be amazing. And then you see your jujitsu school and your jujitsu instructor has all these
00:24:59.120
students and drives a Mercedes and he's got a nice family. And like, that's the future. This way
00:25:03.300
you're doing something exciting and fun and you don't, or you could just be playing video games.
00:25:08.200
Three years later, you could be that same kid, just playing video games, waiting for the next Vicks,
00:25:13.420
whatever the game is, you know, next Xbox game to come out and you're going to waste your time.
00:25:19.020
People were extremely upset about what you just heard there from Joe Rogan because we live in a
1.00
00:25:24.880
nation of ridiculous, stupid children. Obviously everything Joe Rogan, and he admits that he's a
1.00
00:25:31.280
video game addict himself. Okay. Everything he's saying there is absolutely correct. He's saying that
00:25:38.660
it's not good to spend too much time playing video games. That's all pretty obvious. Really
00:25:43.960
undeniably true. And he's saying that, you know, if you look back at your life,
00:25:52.620
he says three years, if you've looked back at the last three years of your life and you've spent
00:25:56.300
hundreds of hours playing video games, think about what else you could have done with those hundreds
00:26:04.220
of hours. You know, you could have become a jujitsu master in the meantime. You could become a master
00:26:09.880
of many different disciplines and, and, and, uh, and, and develop many different skills.
00:26:15.860
Instead, you just play video games and you really didn't gain. I mean, yes, it's, you were, you were
00:26:20.480
able to relax because, you know, that's, of course, we're all just starving for, uh, for relaxation and
00:26:26.040
recreation, right? It's not like we're, we're, we're drowning in that stuff already, but okay. It's,
00:26:30.280
it's recreation. You were able to relax. You had a good time. That's fine. Nothing wrong with that.
00:26:34.300
I don't think Joe Rogan is saying that you should never play video games. He's clearly not saying
00:26:38.180
that, but you don't really, you don't, this, you don't, you don't gain much else from it. That's,
00:26:45.500
you know, you, you look back on your life at the end of your life and, and, and you think back all
00:26:49.980
the time you spent playing video games, you're probably not going to think to yourself that
00:26:54.920
was time well spent, right? Um, you're probably going to think to yourself, man, if I could have just
00:27:00.660
carved out like a third of that chunk, it's like, not, not that I'd never played them, but maybe
00:27:05.140
just take a third of those thousands of hours I spent and used it to, I don't know, write,
00:27:12.180
write the next great American novel. I mean, anything, become a master chef, right? Learn how
00:27:18.240
to like build a house, learn how to farm any, it's like an actual physical skill where I'm out there
00:27:26.000
doing something. I mean, I think that people, people probably think that to themselves and
00:27:30.420
that's, that's a pretty obvious point. Now, yes, anytime this comes up, the gamers out there
00:27:38.020
will point out that, Oh, well, you could say that about, about watching TV. You could say that about
00:27:42.120
spending time on the internet. Absolutely. You could. And people do say that all the time. I mean,
00:27:46.920
how often have people lamented, uh, all of the, the hours that Americans waste watching TV and Netflix
00:27:52.780
and, and, and, you know, trolling social media. Yes, that, that also is part of it. But the thing
00:27:59.080
is you're allowed to point out that it's probably not the most constructive thing to spend 40 hours a
00:28:06.780
week watching TV. You're allowed to point out that if you're on Facebook for six hours a day,
00:28:12.740
it's probably too much. Like you're allowed to say that and no one's going to cry about it.
00:28:17.800
The only difference is that if you dare say it about video games, people start crying.
00:28:22.780
Um, which only shows how right the point is and how necessary it is to say it because people take
00:28:31.080
it way too seriously and are way too attached. Um, number three, before the national anthem was
00:28:37.220
played at a WNBA game this weekend, the players walked off the court in protest. Here's the footage
00:28:42.820
of that. Anthem was played. We saw the players leave the floor, go back to their respective locker
00:28:48.340
rooms. One of those actions we'll see throughout the season as part of the social justice initiative.
00:28:54.140
Yeah. First of many ways that we will see WNBA plays players using their voices all season long.
00:28:59.000
This is nothing new for these women. They have been proactive when it comes to speaking out
0.88
00:29:03.100
on social injustices for the life of the WNBA. Now, as I understand it, three of their viewers were
00:29:09.340
very upset, um, and said, they're not going to watch anymore. That's what I read. So the WNBA just
00:29:15.080
lost, lost half of their audience, which is, which is a pretty steep loss. They're pretty devastating.
00:29:21.740
Uh, I guess you could say that this move was not exactly a slam dunk, mostly because the players
00:29:28.940
can't touch the rim. But the really interesting thing is that, you know, watching that clip for most
00:29:36.200
of us is the first footage we've seen of a WNBA game. So at least it confirms that the WNBA exists.
00:29:41.920
You know, it's not a myth after all. It really is a thing. Apparently, I don't know why it exists,
00:29:47.000
but it does. Uh, it's just out there. You know, if, if women are playing basketball in a forest
0.99
00:29:53.600
and nobody watches, does it, did it really happen? You know, that's been one of the philosophical,
00:30:00.760
one of the great philosophical conundrums. Apparently, yeah, it did happen. Incredible.
00:30:05.740
Number four, here's something, uh, we're starting to see more of. A political reporter posted images
00:30:11.120
from New Zealand showing that New Zealand is basically back to normal after COVID and putting
00:30:17.860
them, uh, and putting New Zealand forth as a success story due to their lockdown policies and
00:30:24.560
contrasting, oh, look how well New Zealand is doing. And you know, the United States, look how poorly
00:30:29.780
they're doing. Um, and then a Dr. Mike Galsworthy followed up with his own post saying, no masks,
00:30:36.060
shaking hands, bustling crowds, fully open economy. New Zealand earned this by locking down early and
00:30:40.780
hard, pursuing a zero COVID strategy. Libertarians would love to be in this position, but they are
00:30:45.400
their own worst enemies in a pandemic. Now we're in a mess. Now I bring this up just to show you
00:30:50.700
how dishonest our discourse has become. If you needed any more convincing, they're using New
00:30:57.300
Zealand as an example, crediting New Zealand's success with its policies. Meanwhile, New Zealand
00:31:04.440
is one of the most remote populated land masses on earth. The entire nation has a population the size
00:31:10.760
of Los Angeles. Um, it gets only about 4 million tourists a year to the entire country compared to
00:31:17.560
80 million for the U S it's an Island. It's neighbor to the West is Australia, 2,500 miles
00:31:24.940
away. And Australia is one of the most sparsely populated countries in the world. And it's neighbor
00:31:28.780
to the South is Antarctica. So you've got a, an Island nation way out there. Um, the furthest
00:31:37.940
possible distance, you know, for, for, in relation to, to many other countries and surrounded by ocean.
00:31:46.100
Um, if you go South, you're, you're in an Arctic wasteland where the population is zero besides,
00:31:53.260
you know, whatever, five or six scientists living in, living in, uh, in, in, you know,
00:31:57.160
research labs. And then if you go, if you go 2,500 miles to the West, you run into Australia where,
00:32:04.980
you know, it's like there's people living around the coast and just nobody in the middle of that
00:32:08.940
country at all. So yeah, I think probably that has a lot to do with them doing well in a pandemic.
00:32:18.460
New Zealand is going to do well in a global pandemic, literally no matter what its policies
00:32:23.420
are. It doesn't matter. They're going to do well because they're so isolated, obviously. Okay.
00:32:27.880
Number five, finally, uh, representative John Lewis, his body, uh, John, you know, John Lewis obviously
00:32:33.460
died, uh, I guess it was over a week ago now, uh, or last week, several days he was taken across.
00:32:40.060
So his, his, his body was taken across the Selma bridge yesterday. Um, the time says as, as,
00:32:47.160
but here's the phrase taken across the Selma bridge as remembrances continue, continue being the
00:32:55.020
operative phrase there. There have been a lot of remembrances of John Lewis. Um, there was a
00:32:59.800
memorial service at Brown chapel, AME church in Alabama, then another memorial service at Troy
00:33:05.780
university in Alabama. And then at some point, his body was ceremonially ceremonially brought across
00:33:11.180
the bridge in a horse drawn carriage with an audience watching. Then his bought brought, then
00:33:15.380
he was brought up to DC to lie in state for two days. So the public can pay respects. Um, then he'll
00:33:21.080
be brought to Atlanta for Memorial. And then the following day will be the funeral. Okay. So that's what
00:33:28.980
three, four memorial services, plus a couple other ceremonial things. And then the, you know,
00:33:34.280
body on display, public can pay respects, then a funeral. All of this is happening while thousands
00:33:42.620
of Americans have not been allowed to, to have funerals for their own dead relatives because of
00:33:47.880
COVID. So just imagine, I mean, maybe you don't have to imagine, maybe you're in this position.
00:33:52.240
Um, I imagine someone who was not able to have a funeral service for their father who passed away
00:34:03.020
was not even able to gather 20 people in a chapel for a funeral service because they were told it's
00:34:10.780
too dangerous. And yet now they turn on the news and see a politician has died and has multiple
00:34:18.560
funerals and memorials attended by thousands of people across three States. Now, if the funerals,
00:34:27.000
if the reason we're not having a funeral service for Joe Smith, who dies down the street, if the
00:34:32.780
reason his family can't gather to mourn him is because it's not safe, then it doesn't suddenly become
00:34:40.860
safe when a prominent politician dies. Either it's safe or it isn't. Either you can do it safely or you
00:34:47.560
can't, if you can't do it safely, then we shouldn't be doing it for John Lewis. If you can do it safely,
00:34:53.420
then there's no reason why we can't do it for Joe Smith. This is obviously pretty clear cut. I would
00:34:59.120
say now I don't have a problem in normal circumstances with, with, with this sort of thing, when a
00:35:06.380
prominent, uh, politician or dignitary dies and, and we have all the memorial services. I don't have an
00:35:12.220
issue with that. You know, um, I know there are some people that always raise issues with it because
00:35:17.460
they say, I was, you know, idolatry or whatever. I don't see it that way. I think that this is,
00:35:21.860
this is just what people do when, when, when the prominent among them pass away and that's fine.
00:35:27.760
I got no issue with it. Um, but I do have an issue with it if we're doing it while also telling
00:35:35.960
normal Americans that they're not allowed to gather and celebrate the lives of, you know,
00:35:41.220
their grandparents and parents and others who pass away. That, that is just,
00:35:45.720
that is a outrageous example of elitism and, you know, rule rules for the, but not for me type of
00:35:56.940
thing. Okay. Let's go to our daily cancellation. Finally today for our daily cancellation, we are
00:36:01.540
canceling Netflix over the weekend. Netflix had a series of tweets written by someone named Rose
00:36:09.100
Demieux, a transgender person hailing Netflix for a recent episode of the babysitters club,
00:36:14.880
which featured a quote trans girl. And it was of course, very nice of Netflix, uh, to generously
00:36:20.520
give this transgender individual a platform to talk about how great Netflix is. So I really
1.00
00:36:25.800
appreciate that from Netflix and the thread goes through all of the wonderful things about this
00:36:30.040
episode. And as a, by the way, as a big babysitters club fan myself, I'm surprised I missed this
00:36:36.360
episode. Somehow I've seen the whole babysitter series probably 10 times. Uh, somehow I didn't
00:36:41.280
see this anyway. So let's, let's go through, we go through all of the wonderful progressive things
00:36:46.400
that was, that you could be, you could, could be found in this episode. And then we get to this
00:36:51.640
and the caption of this clip says when Bailey, the male who we're calling a trans girl comes down with
00:36:57.500
a fever, Marianne rushes her to the hospital where, uh, two doctors misgender her. Marianne firmly
0.95
00:37:03.220
corrects them. Misgendering is traumatic. This is one of the baseline ways cisgender people can show
0.97
00:37:08.800
up for trans people in their life. Um, and then we have the clip. Let's, let's watch that clip.
00:37:14.060
Have you been giving him fluids? If he's dehydrated, we'll need to place an IV. Have him change into
00:37:18.340
this. I don't want the blue one. Um, well, I hear someone's not feeling well. Let's take a look at the
00:37:25.740
little man. Can I please talk to you two outside? I know that you guys are busy, but as you would
00:37:43.660
see, if you looked at her and not her chart, Bailey is not a boy. And by treating her like one, you
00:37:50.980
are completely ignoring who she is. You're making her feel insignificant and humiliated. And that's
00:37:57.660
not going to help her feel good or safe or calm. So I'm here on out. Please recognize her for who she
00:38:04.840
is. And if at all possible, could you find me a non blue hospital gown? I apologize. Okay. Where to
00:38:13.340
begin with this? First of all, the acting here is just tremendously bad. And I, I, I hold the
00:38:25.000
babysitter's club to a much higher standard than that. You know, they're so I I'll never forget the
00:38:30.780
episode of babysitter's club. When Samantha found out that Becky went to the mall with Stephanie and
0.98
00:38:37.280
nobody invited her to come along that final confrontation between Samantha, Becky and Stephanie
00:38:42.800
and the monologue that Samantha delivers one of the great dramatic moments in television history
00:38:50.200
and a personally life-changing moment for me to witness. This just does not rise to that level.
00:38:57.060
Sadly, there's a high bar for the babysitter's club. Okay. Um, and this, this, this doesn't get
00:39:04.360
there. So I'm disappointed in that. Second of all, once again, we see here the parade of
00:39:09.520
contradictions that comprise left-wing gender theory. It's just nothing but contradiction stacked
00:39:16.660
on top of contradiction. Marianne, the babysitter who's in a hospital lecturing doctors about their
00:39:23.040
lack of LGBT awareness while there are people with medical emergencies who, who, who need
00:39:27.880
attention. But, uh, she's angry. The doctors have the audacity to judge Bailey's sex based on his
0.98
00:39:34.020
medical chart and not by looking at him because if they looked at him, then they'd see that he has long
00:39:39.860
hair and he's wearing a, you know, a butterfly shirt and that he likes pink, not blue. Meanwhile,
00:39:46.640
leftists have spent the last 50 years telling us that none of that stuff has anything to do with
00:39:53.100
being a girl. They're the ones who told us that. So on the one hand, we're told that there's no
00:39:58.680
real association between girlhood and pink frilly things and that it's an arbitrary societal
00:40:04.920
convention. In fact, the convention that should be broken down and abandoned, uh, and that it never
00:40:10.540
really meant anything anyway to begin with. And then on the other hand, we're told that boys who like
00:40:15.080
pink frilly things are actually girls. This is a blatant and irredeemable contradiction. It's you,
00:40:22.640
you can't get around it. It destroys their entire narrative. Not that they care, of course, but it's,
00:40:29.000
and I, I have brought up this point to, um, many left-wingers to see how they reconcile it. And they
00:40:38.360
don't, they can't, they just, they, they can't even address it. Third, if a child is traumatized
00:40:47.960
by being given the wrong colored gown, um, that's a good sign that the child's real trauma has nothing
00:40:55.080
to do with the gown or what pronouns he's called. Children in real life, mostly boys who are, uh,
00:41:04.240
which by the way, have you ever wondered why that is? You know, most of the time, vast majority of
00:41:10.400
cases with the, especially with, uh, this is true in adulthood too, but especially with the kids
00:41:15.680
who come out as transgender, almost always boys coming out as girls. If this is just like a naturally
1.00
00:41:23.760
occurring thing, sometimes people are born in the wrong body. Why is it almost always boys that this
00:41:31.000
happens to? How do you explain that scientifically? Well, you explain it scientifically the same way
00:41:37.640
you explain any of this scientifically, which is you don't. Um, but anyway, children in real life,
00:41:43.800
mostly boys who are, who are trying to live as girls and identifying as girls, they are the victims
0.98
00:41:48.760
of trauma and the trauma does come from being misgendered. So don't get me wrong when it, when
00:41:54.040
someone says it's traumatic to be misgendered, I absolutely agree. And I, I take that totally
1.00
00:42:00.040
seriously, but the traumatic misgendering happened when the adults in his life told him he's a girl.
00:42:07.580
That's the misgendering part. That's the trauma. And now through no fault of his own,
00:42:14.160
he's living this false identity, trying desperately to maintain it. And anything that reminds him of who
00:42:19.920
he truly is, is now traumatic, but only because it reminds him of reality. And it brings him back to
00:42:28.420
the, to the, to the, to the real trauma, the real abuse of having this false identity imposed on him
00:42:34.120
to begin with. And yes, every single transgender child has had that false identity imposed on them.
0.99
00:42:42.040
Every single one without exception, because either, you know, when, when you've got a young child
00:42:49.060
who's supposedly transgender, there are two explanations for that. Either they have, um,
1.00
00:42:54.660
they have hopelessly progressive parents who pushed them in that direction because the parents
00:42:59.760
like the idea of having a transgender child that they can parade around and score woke points off
1.00
00:43:04.520
of, or, and I suspect that's the case most of the time, or the child is in that state because he went
00:43:12.560
through a perfectly normal and natural stage of childish confusion where he wanted to be a girl,
00:43:17.980
i.e. he wanted to play with dolls and wear pink outfits, because that's what being a girl means to a child.
00:43:24.900
You idiots. When you've got a four-year-old saying, well, I'm a girl, he doesn't know what that is.
1.00
00:43:30.700
All he means by that, the only thing he means by that is that he likes the things that he associates
00:43:37.500
with girls. Do you know how I know that? You know how I know it? Because I could walk up to any four-year-old
00:43:44.500
on earth and say, and ask them a question, what is a girl? And they couldn't, they couldn't tell me.
00:43:50.000
They don't know what the word actually means because they're four years old. To them, all it
00:43:57.700
means, somebody with long hair, wears a dress, likes playing with dolls. And many young boys
00:44:05.380
will go through a phase where they see that and they're curious about it and it's attractive to
00:44:10.520
them. Okay, that's really normal. And if you're on the left, you're the one who said,
00:44:18.120
you've been saying for 50 years that boys can do all of that and there's nothing wrong
00:44:23.760
with it because all of that is nothing but a societal convention. If this is just a societal
00:44:30.000
convention, how can his attraction to a certain societal convention tell us anything about who
00:44:35.380
he inherently is? You're the one for 50 years who told us it tells us nothing. And now you're
00:44:40.320
trying to go back on that and say, oh no, no, actually it's, it's, it's, that tells us
00:44:54.660
Yeah. The, the, the, the way that this is imposed is, is either you just have progressive parents
00:44:59.380
that push kids into it, which does happen, or a, a, a young boy goes through a very normal
00:45:04.260
phase, um, says I'm a girl and, uh, and the parents decide to just go with it. And they
00:45:12.600
take the four-year-old child at his word. They take his self-identity seriously, even though
00:45:19.860
a four-year-old child has no idea what he's talking about when he says literally anything.
00:45:27.540
Have you ever listened to a four-year-old speak? They, they have no idea. It's that they're,
00:45:31.980
they're, they're not living in reality. They're, they're, they weren't, they didn't even exist
00:45:37.860
four years ago, four years and nine months ago. They came into existence at conception,
00:45:43.500
by the way, not when they were born. Okay. But, but less than, than, than half a decade
00:45:48.240
ago, they didn't exist on the planet. They are very new to this planet thing, to this reality
00:45:55.860
And yet they, they, you hear one of them make a declaration about their, their inner identity
00:46:06.320
and, and you take it seriously? Well, the parents that do that, you know, are either
00:46:15.380
unbelievably stupid or insane, or they're, they know better, but they're taking advantage of their
1.00
00:46:25.580
child because they want to score the woke points or some combination of those. You know, I suspect
1.00
00:46:30.480
probably options B and C, a combination of B and C, insane and taking advantage. Um,
00:46:38.540
and that is the real trauma. Okay. That's the trauma that the child is suffering from.
00:46:45.800
And it is horrible and it is evil. And I, I refuse. This is, this is,
00:46:54.940
this is not a hill that we can abandon to the left and just let them have it. This is a hill
00:47:00.760
to die on. Absolutely. What they're doing to children, let them pretend as they are taking
00:47:07.820
advantage of and abusing children and ruining them, pretend that they're the compassionate ones. And,
00:47:13.840
and, and, and, you know, they're the ones who really care. No.
