Today on the Matt Wall Show, two people died during the Kenosha riots last night. The breakdown
00:00:04.120
of law and order continues, and this is what happens when the government simply refuses to
00:00:08.240
do its job and protect its citizens like it's supposed to do. Also, five headlines, including
00:00:12.380
the media's hysterical reaction to Nick Sandman's great speech at the RNC convention. Plus,
00:00:18.380
teachers claim they were traumatized by an active shooter drill and now require money to heal their
00:00:24.040
emotional wounds. Funny how that works. And in our daily cancellation, we're going to cancel
00:00:27.820
the esteemed Ray Spader, Jameel Hill. All of that on the way. Lots to cover, but we start here with,
00:00:33.960
unfortunately, the inevitable. Three people shot in Kenosha last night, two fatally,
00:00:38.820
as the violent insurrection, not just a riot, an insurrection, went into its third night in the
00:00:44.340
city. Nationwide, we're on the third month of all of this. Many of the details are still hazy. There's
00:00:49.780
plenty of video out there. I can't play most of it here because it's extremely graphic, but here's
00:00:56.480
what we know. According to reports, and this is crucial context, the ineffectual, useless boob of
00:01:02.420
a governor, Tony Evers, turned down help and reinforcement from the Trump administration
00:01:06.900
to assist in quelling the chaos and the violence. The administration offered it. He said no. Instead,
00:01:12.500
Evers sent in a small National Guard deployment of 250. It was not enough, not nearly enough. The
00:01:19.120
violence escalated as it has been, and armed men, the media is calling them militia,
00:01:24.700
quote unquote, appeared on the scene to protect private property from rioters. It appears that
00:01:30.140
one of the people who came to protect private property wound up shooting and killing two people.
00:01:35.120
There are two separate incidents with multiple videos circulating online. As I said, I can't play
00:01:40.140
them, but if you want to look them up, you can and you can see it. In one video, an armed man can be
00:01:46.660
seen running away from rioters who are pursuing him. One of the pursuers was also armed, apparently.
00:01:52.840
The man who was running trips, falls, and as the rioters, including the armed rioter,
00:01:58.300
lunge at him, he opens fire and hits at least two of them. Now, it seems pretty clear cut that
00:02:03.800
that particular shooting in that case was probably in self-defense. He was trying to get out of the
00:02:09.500
situation. He was being pursued. He opened fire right before he was about to be descended upon and,
00:02:15.060
you know, potentially killed. In another incident, which happened before this one, involving,
00:02:19.820
I believe the same person, someone has shot in the head at a car dealership. The videos that I've
00:02:25.400
seen in that case are far less vivid and conclusive. But in fact, here's one clip I can show because it's
00:02:29.660
not very graphic, but it also isn't very clear. But anyway, take a look and see what you can discern
00:02:35.220
from this. So it appears that, again, the guy with the gun was running away. He was being pursued.
00:02:52.260
Something was thrown at him. You can't tell what it is from my vantage point. It seemed to be something
00:02:56.480
that was on fire, maybe a Molotov cocktail or something along those lines. And then the shooting
00:03:01.540
happened. So again, a lot is still unknown. But here are a few things we do know. Okay.
00:03:08.900
First of all, you will hear that the armed citizens, the militia, are white supremacists.
00:03:16.080
There is simply no information to support that claim right now. And it's a claim being made by
00:03:20.340
people who call anyone who disagrees with or resists the rioters white supremacists. Just to
00:03:26.260
illustrate that point, that they'll call anyone white supremacists, I want to quickly show you this
00:03:30.280
video from the riots on Monday night. Watch this. This poor man got his house, his business caught
00:03:36.320
on fire. I'm sorry, sir. I'm very sorry about that, man. Yeah, really? I, hey, I have nothing
00:03:49.440
to do with that. I'm trying to stop this here. Dude, I'm going to help this guy. I don't give a
00:03:54.040
f*** if I get beat up. They just threw a bottle at this guy.
00:04:44.380
What we appear to have there is an elderly business owner trying to stop looters from
00:04:50.400
They beat him unconscious and leave his building in flames.
00:04:55.180
And how was this incident characterized by the riot defenders?
00:04:59.600
Well, a noted race-hustling dirtbag by the name of Tariq Nasheed is just a really bad guy.
00:05:05.780
He chimed in about this incident, and look at how he framed it on Twitter.
00:05:10.060
Freedom fighters in Kenosha defended themselves from a suspected white supremacist who was
00:05:14.240
trying to attack black people with an extinguisher as if this was the 1960s still.
00:05:19.060
Notice how the Karen tried to scare the people with retaliation talk.
00:05:24.660
Okay, so the elderly man trying to stop looters from burning down his business is a suspected
00:05:31.020
white supremacist, and the scumbags who beat him unconscious and stole his stuff are freedom
00:05:38.680
My point here, again, is simply that when you hear the term white supremacist applied to
00:05:43.540
anyone these days, you can't take it at face value.
00:05:47.040
And that's the first thing about the shootings last night.
00:05:49.200
The second point is that most of the video floating around appears to show that the shootings
00:05:59.160
As I said, one of the incidents is pretty clear.
00:06:02.960
But I haven't seen any video that indicates that this was an act of premeditated murder
00:06:08.020
That's how it's being characterized, by dishonest race-baiting snakes.
00:06:12.020
But I have not seen any evidence of that, and they haven't presented any evidence of it.
00:06:16.520
But if such evidence is presented in the future, then I'll take it into account and change my
00:06:21.280
I actually will change my opinion based on facts, unlike a lot of these people who are
00:06:27.200
So those are the less clear parts and the more sort of tentative parts, based on what
00:06:33.700
There doesn't appear to be any support for the racist white supremacist murder narrative,
00:06:38.120
and there does seem to be plenty of support for the self-defense narrative.
00:06:43.560
Now let's get to the even clearer parts of this, though.
00:06:45.800
The things that we can say without any equivocation.
00:06:50.020
Number one, people have a right to exercise the Second Amendment while protecting private
00:06:57.840
You do not have a right to destroy private property.
00:07:02.300
If you do get shot while in the process of trying to destroy someone else's property or
00:07:07.780
harm them personally, then that will be your fault.
00:07:15.980
Many of the rioters and insurrectionists believe they have some kind of God-given, sacred, divinely
00:07:20.700
enshrined right to quite literally do whatever they want, wherever they want, to whoever they
00:07:27.900
If a man stands with a gun to stop them from burning down his store or someone else's store
00:07:32.140
or anything else, they feel like this is a personal and direct attack against them.
00:07:35.840
These are people who have been driven mad by their own entitlement.
00:07:41.820
Number two, all of this is happening because of a monumental failure of government, unlike
00:07:47.880
anything we've seen in this country in generations.
00:07:50.700
Elected leaders are refusing to do their jobs, refusing to protect their citizens.
00:07:56.420
There is a way to put an end to all of this and restore order.
00:08:03.020
But the point is that there is an established blueprint for these situations.
00:08:13.480
Meet the insurrectionists with overwhelming force.
00:08:16.580
Arrest every single person who throws a brick, lights a fire, breaks a window.
00:08:21.460
Prosecute them to the fullest extent of the law.
00:08:25.760
Send the message that anyone involved in this chaos will be sacrificing years of their lives.
00:08:31.780
These scrawny, privileged punks, they don't want to go to prison.
00:08:35.620
They don't want to spend years buying bars with Bubba and the boys.
00:08:40.460
Even if they're arrested, which most likely they won't be, they'll probably have charges
00:08:43.880
dropped or get fined for a misdemeanor or something.
00:08:46.340
In Portland, they're cycling rioters through the system like a Ferris wheel.
00:08:54.700
Round and round, make that Ferris wheel a one-way ticket and show up.
00:08:58.820
And after you've, you know, before you do that, you have to show up on the streets with
00:09:05.200
The rioters, you know, they're out there using umbrellas as shields.
00:09:09.800
But just to them, to the people who lost their livelihoods, their businesses, their homes,
00:09:15.460
So make the rioters understand the seriousness of the situation.
00:09:25.720
And our society slips further into the clutches of anarchy because of it.
00:09:32.920
And whatever you think about the armed, quote-unquote, militia that's now showing up to fill in
00:09:42.300
It's the fault of our elected leaders who have refused to do their jobs.
00:09:48.140
And what we've learned, like so many other things in life, if you won't do your job, someone
00:10:05.480
Before we get to the headlines here, you know, the RNC is, we're talking about the RNC in
00:10:15.460
just a second, but it's off to a pretty good start this week, blowing the DNC out of the
00:10:19.180
water in almost every way, especially when it comes to ratings.
00:10:22.160
In fact, reports of Monday night's C-SPAN viewership are six times the opening night of
00:10:30.080
Not very surprising, though, given what I was forced to watch last week.
00:10:33.200
I guess I'm not, I'm not too surprised to see that.
00:10:35.440

00:11:32.560
So number one, uh, uh, number one is day two of the RNC convention last night, as just
00:11:37.900
mentioned, you won't be surprised to learn that my favorite moment was a speech, uh, not
00:11:42.640
from a non, uh, not from a politician because my theory that politicians never give interesting
00:11:48.700
speeches ever has been, in my opinion, confirmed by both conventions.
00:11:53.460
But luckily there's been some non-political speeches that I thought were pretty good.
00:11:57.200
Nick Sandman, the, uh, the kid who was slandered by CNN and other media companies and sued them
00:12:06.560
Uh, he had a lot to say that was quite relevant and important, but I'm going to play just a
00:12:10.100
clip of, of him giving his side of the story, describing from his perspective, what happened
00:12:20.300
My name is Nick Sandman and I'm the teenager who was defamed by the media after an encounter
00:12:26.180
with a group of protesters on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial last year.
00:12:30.960
Before I begin, I'd like to thank president Trump for the opportunity to share some of my story
00:12:36.220
and why it matters so much to this November's election.
00:12:39.980
In 2019, I attended the March for Life in Washington, DC, where I demonstrated in defense of the unborn.
00:12:47.320
Later that day, I bought a Make America Great Again hat because our president, Donald Trump,
00:12:53.800
has distinguished himself as one of the most pro-life presidents in the history of our country.
00:12:59.160
And I wanted to express my support for him too.
00:13:02.120
Looking back now, how could I possibly imagine that the simple act of putting on that red hat
00:13:09.520
would unleash hate from the left and make myself the target of network and cable news networks nationwide?
00:13:17.380
Being from Kentucky, the birthplace of Abraham Lincoln, my classmates and I visited the Lincoln Memorial.
00:13:24.420
I found myself face-to-face with Nathan Phillips and other professional protesters
00:13:30.300
looking to turn me into the latest poster child, showing why Trump is bad.
00:13:36.340
While the media portrayed me as an aggressor with a relentless smirk on my face.
00:13:42.200
In reality, the video confirms I was standing with my hands behind my back
00:13:46.140
and an awkward smile on my face that hid two thoughts.
00:13:50.120
One, don't do anything that might further agitate the man banging a drum in my face.
00:13:55.620
And two, I was trying to follow a family friend's advice.
00:14:00.460
Never to do anything to embarrass your family, your school, or your community.
00:14:10.040
One of Mr. Phillips' fellow agitators yelled out, we got him.
00:14:17.820
So, and then he goes on to talk about cancel culture and how it's, you know, wielded by the media and the left
00:14:26.340
I mean, this is a guy, you want to talk about victims of the cancel culture.
00:14:33.820
And the best part is the media just absolutely hated it.
00:14:41.360
They were just really mad, salty, as the kids would say.
00:14:43.880
And so they lashed out again, just spewing vitriol at this kid.
00:14:47.600
Many examples I could show, but let's just go with this one.
00:14:52.480
And he is, I think, very jealous that Nick Sandman gets paid more from CNN than he does.
00:14:59.160
I'm watching tonight because it's important, but I don't have to watch this snot-nosed, entitled kid from Kentucky.
00:15:07.060
Snot-nosed, entitled kid from Kentucky is what he calls him.
00:15:09.720
Right, well, Joe, you know, better to be a snot-nosed, entitled kid than a snot-nosed, entitled old fart like you.
00:15:17.620
I mean, if you have to choose between the two, that's really the time to be snot-nosed and entitled as a kid.
00:15:24.980
But, you know, you're, what, in your 50s, 60s now, and you still are.
00:15:35.840
He actually is entitled to not be slandered and libeled.
00:15:45.280
And so if he's coming off as entitled, that's because he has a certain entitlement, a real legal entitlement, that is protection from libel and slander, that was infringed.
00:15:55.000
And that's why now CNN is entitled to pay him for that.
00:16:03.720
New evidence was filed in the George Floyd case.
00:16:06.120
It's a document from the Hennepin County medical examiner, Dr. Andrew Baker.
00:16:19.360
It says on May 31st, 2020, at 7.30 p.m., Assistant Hennepin County Attorney Patrick Lofton and I met with Dr. Andrew Baker on Microsoft Teams.
00:16:29.660
Dr. Baker said that he had and recently received the final toxicology results from Mr. George Floyd's samples, which were analyzed by NMS Labs.
00:16:37.780
AB shared his screen and showed us the results.
00:16:39.880
He said that where it says hospital blood, those samples are from Mr. Floyd's hospital admissions and were not acquired as autopsy.
00:16:46.980
AB said that these samples are better for determining actual blood toxicity than samples taken at the autopsy.
00:16:51.400
Samples taken at autopsy may have undergone post-mortem distribution, whatever that means.
00:16:56.600
AB walked us down the list of substances for which NMS Labs tested.
00:17:00.320
Those values he highlighted were 4-ANPP, a precursor and metabolite of fentanyl present in Mr. Floyd's blood, methamphetamine,
00:17:10.220
which he describes as very near the low end and a stimulant hard on the heart.
00:17:17.160
This level of fentanyl can cause pulmonary endema.
00:17:19.860
Mr. Floyd's lungs were 2-3 times their normal weighted autopsy.
00:17:22.520
That's a fatal level of fentanyl under normal circumstances.
00:17:25.600
And then norfentanyl, a metabolite of fentanyl.
00:17:28.680
Mr. Floyd's urine was tested for four things and are redundant.
00:17:32.440
AB said that if Mr. Floyd had been found dead in his home or anywhere else and there were no other contributing factors,
00:17:38.840
he would conclude that it was an overdose death.
00:17:41.180
OK, so he had a level of fentanyl in the system that's fatal under normal circumstances.
00:17:49.840
And under normal circumstances, he would have been ruled an overdose.
00:17:56.720
Now, you could say, well, this is not a normal circumstances.
00:17:59.860
The arrest, the knee on the neck contributed to it.
00:18:02.800
Yes, but it's hard to see how you sustain a murder charge when a person has potentially fatal levels of a toxin in their body,
00:18:12.660
So more details in that case that are that are interesting.
00:18:15.780
Number three, the Indy Star reports eight elementary school teachers who were shot with airsoft guns execution style during an active shooter training drill last year are suing the sheriff's department that conducted the training.
00:18:26.600
The controversial training drill conducted at Meadowland Elementary School in northern Indiana last year became national news after teachers reported being left bruised, bloodied and traumatized.
00:18:36.740
The lawsuit filed last week in Indiana's northern federal court claims that for white county sheriff, white county sheriff deputies should subject the teachers to verbal threats,
00:18:48.560
expletive and screaming in addition to being struck with plastic pellets fired from airsoft guns.
00:18:53.140
The teachers displayed obvious signs of anguish and physical pain, but were humiliated to find the law enforcement officers joking and laughing at them.
00:19:00.800
Uh, the complaint says the terrifying and inexplicable experience left the teachers with lasting physical and emotional injuries.
00:19:10.940
A first grade teacher was diagnosed with PTSD after this.
00:19:15.300
It says eight teachers out of approximately 35 that were present have signed the lawsuit.
00:19:20.360
Um, according to the complaint, the teachers were broken up into small groups and told by sheriff's deputies to line up facing a wall and kneel.
00:19:28.820
Once they were kneeling, an officer shot the teachers across the backs.
00:19:39.160
Um, they were not told to tell the other teacher.
00:19:41.380
They were told not to tell the other teachers waiting in another room for their turn.
00:19:45.060
And, uh, later in the day, teachers were also subject to a series of drills in which they were instructed at different times to hide in classrooms,
00:19:51.960
to try and barricade doors and to throw tennis balls at the officers.
00:19:55.640
Uh, during each drill, officers shot the teachers with airsoft guns, according to the complaint.
00:20:05.240
Uh, according to the complaint, teachers experienced several severe, well, it says several emotional distress.
00:20:11.080
I'm pretty sure it means to say severe emotional distress.
00:20:17.260
Not to laugh at their emotional distress, uh, which I am a little bit.
00:20:20.780
This whole scene just seems completely outlandish.
00:20:24.280
First of all, to say you have PTSD from being shot with a pellet gun is absurd.
00:20:30.180
I, I've been shot with a pellet gun in my day many times and really doesn't hurt that much.
00:20:35.100
Um, and you know, as long as you don't take a pellet to the eye or anything and that, that could cause problems.
00:20:40.800
So all of this whining about emotional distress is obviously ridiculous.
00:20:45.920
And just a bit of theater from teachers who are looking for a payday.
00:20:50.160
Second, you know, and, and aside from all that, I've never quite understood, even if there's, if there is real emotional distress, how, how do you quantify that in terms of money?
00:21:01.500
How do you put a certain dollar amount on emotional?
00:21:04.920
Well, I, I, I have $50 million worth of emotional distress.
00:21:08.280
I think $50 million would, would heal this, this, this, these, my emotional problem.
00:21:16.220
I don't need, no, just right there at 50 million.
00:21:18.920
I have, I've looked within myself and realized that $50 million is what will heal me.
00:21:26.480
But second, um, these active shooter drills are also completely ridiculous.
00:21:31.860
It, it just seems like a really macabre adult version of cops and robbers.
00:21:37.340
It's fantasy role play in the guise of safety training is what it is.
00:21:40.540
The whole thing is a waste of time and resources.
00:21:43.060
Um, the, you know, why did the teachers need to act out being executed?
00:21:51.780
Um, and why do the cops need practice doing it?
00:21:58.600
And the chances that a particular school will actually be the victim of a mass school shooting
00:22:05.420
is, is so vanishingly small that you can't possibly justify the amount of time and energy
00:22:13.900
Even if, you know, these kinds of drills were effective, which I don't think they are at
00:22:19.560
all, but, um, now that doesn't mean that schools shouldn't have policies in place in ways to
00:22:26.060
I'm just saying that acting out these role play games, like they're at bootcamp, you
00:22:30.860
know, training to be, to invade some middle Eastern country or something is I think totally
00:22:36.780
And besides, you know, you can give the instructions and tell people what to do without shooting
00:22:44.960
When you do a fire drill, you don't actually like burn people.
00:22:48.740
You don't, you don't, when you, when you do the fire drill, do you light candles and
00:22:52.820
then chase the kids down the hallway and like start singeing their elbows while they're
00:22:58.700
Um, all you have to do is just tell them, okay, this is what we do.
00:23:01.980
Here's here in case this thing happened, probably won't happen, but if it does, this is what
00:23:10.520
And besides the training goes out the window anyway, once the bullets start flying, but most
00:23:15.560
people who are not professional, you know, professional law enforcement, professional
00:23:21.320
in the military, whatever, once the bullets fly, they're just going to panic anyway and
00:23:25.780
do whatever seems the most appropriate in that situation.
00:23:28.620
So even if the scenario you act out actually happens, your little staged production probably
00:23:35.780
And really when it comes down to it, if there's a shooter going around executing people room
00:23:40.920
by room, you know, you can either try to get out of the building or if you have a gun
00:23:47.820
to protect yourselves, you can use that, which I, which I think would be great if schools
00:23:51.600
were able to actually protect themselves in that way.
00:23:53.700
But if you're in the room and you have no gun and you haven't left and the shooter comes
00:24:01.040
in and you know, you're, you're literally backed into a corner and he's the only one
00:24:05.800
armed, um, I, I just don't know that there's any real strategy you can have in place.
00:24:11.860
That's going to prevent horrible things from happening and certainly throwing tennis balls
00:24:18.660
Don Lemon of CNN is finally, finally speaking out against the rioting only took him about
00:24:24.320
three months, but finally he has, he's finally realized that it's a problem.
00:24:28.220
It's just, it's not a problem in the way that you probably think it's a problem.
00:24:33.060
I do think that this, what you said, what's happening in Kenosha is a Rorschach test for
00:24:41.040
And I think this is a blind spot for Democrats.
00:24:44.680
I think Democrats are ignoring this problem or hoping that it will go away and it's not
00:24:50.560
And so unless someone comes up with a solution over the next 73 days or 70, so however many
00:25:00.340
So it's not going to, the problem is not going to be fixed by then, but what they can do.
00:25:06.700
And I think maybe Joe Biden may be afraid to do it.
00:25:16.820
He's got to do a speech like Barack Obama did about race.
00:25:20.240
He's got to come out and tell people that he is going to deal with the issue of police
00:25:26.160
reform in this country and that what's happening now is happening under Donald Trump's watch
00:25:33.860
And when he is the president, Kamala Harris is the vice president, then they will take
00:25:43.480
Chris, as you know, and I know, it's showing up in the polling.
00:25:51.920
It is the only thing right now that is sticking.
00:26:00.460
And they also stuck with the theme that you said.
00:26:04.140
The coronavirus, you got coronavirus and you have Kenosha.
00:26:10.320
He's speaking out because it hurts Democrats in the polls.
00:26:15.200
He's not worried about people's lives, livelihood, businesses being destroyed.
00:26:19.060
He's worried about the polls, which doesn't surprise me, of course.
00:26:23.020
But it's it is always interesting when they say that stuff out loud.
00:26:26.660
Number five, finally, what we've all been waiting for, really hoping for Aaron Rodgers.
00:26:30.280
has chimed in about the shooting of Jacob Blake and, you know, the social and cultural
00:26:36.760
And we can all we can all see the matter, I think, more clearly now that the quarterback
00:26:41.940
of the Green Bay Packers has expounded on the issue.
00:26:44.620
So, as I said, we've all been waiting for this and really glad that he's here to pass
00:26:53.400
I think like, you know, like I said in the video and like we talked about in the video
00:27:02.020
And until the problem is fixed, this is going to be an all too common setting in this country.
00:27:10.900
It's obviously it's home, you know, being not far from Green Bay.
00:27:14.900
I'm not going to, you know, comment directly on the video until more facts come out.
00:27:21.500
But, you know, obviously, it's something where you as a as a non police officer, I think
00:27:32.000
a lot of us natural question is, when is lethal force necessary?
00:27:41.280
And again, I think that goes to a systematic problem that needs to be addressed at some
00:27:48.040
You know, there's antiquated laws that, you know, are prejudicial against people of color
00:27:54.580
And I think the governor and his and the folks, you know, at the Capitol need to take
00:28:00.520
a hard look at some of those systems that are in place.
00:28:04.020
Yeah, that just has that has major, major hostage video vibes going on.
00:28:09.340
All of these videos of these athletes like Brett Favre and, you know, others speaking about
00:28:15.720
this, they all have hostage video vibes, but nothing quite like this.
00:28:19.000
You can just imagine masked men with guns in the background whispering lines to him, say
00:28:29.620
I mean, Rogers is he's just going through a list of buzzwords and phrases that he probably
00:28:35.020
picked up when he scanned the BLM website right before going in for the press conference.
00:28:38.740
And he's just sitting there like, um, you know, the thing is, um, there's systemic underlying
00:28:48.900
patriarchal cisgendered privilege, privilege, privilege, uh, contributing to, uh, inequity and
00:29:07.360
By the way, he says that antiquated laws have something to do with it.
00:29:18.920
Uh, uh, uh, Aaron, what does antiquated mean again?
00:29:22.000
Well, it just means, it means they're, they're very, it just means they're antiquated.
00:29:28.340
But what, what does that have to do with the Jacob Blake shooting?
00:29:34.080
I mean, that's why there was a warrant for his arrest.
00:29:36.680
I just don't know what laws he's talking about here that have anything to do with it.
00:29:40.760
Of course, he's just, he's just babbling and I'm hoping that it'll be enough to keep the
00:29:51.480
Now for our daily cancellation, we're going to be shortened to the point here.
00:29:56.600
And part of me was hesitant to perform this cancellation because it seems so redundant.
00:30:04.200
Every day is another cancelable offense from her, but this one, I just can't let go.
00:30:13.040
It says, been reading Isabel Wilkerson's new book, Cast.
00:30:19.980
She says, if you were of the opinion that the United States wasn't nearly as bad as
00:30:26.660
Can't encourage you enough to read this masterpiece.
00:30:29.020
If Jameel Hill calls a book a masterpiece, I'll be pretty sure to avoid it, but nearly
00:30:36.600
Now, obviously the very fact that you can even make this statement without being carted
00:30:39.760
off to a camp somewhere is proof in and of itself that it's completely false.
00:30:43.180
Jameel Hill's entire career at this point is proof that the statement is false.
00:30:47.060
Her existence is focused around complaining about America and the president and telling
00:30:59.180
Let me ask you, how much money do you think you could make or could have made in Nazi Germany
00:31:04.180
if you went into the business of criticizing Germany and Hitler?
00:31:07.700
I mean, how prominent and successful do you think you could have been?
00:31:13.000
It wasn't much of a business and, you know, and they had to do it while they were in hiding
00:31:21.680
The first clue that you are not under a fascist dictatorship is that you can go out in public
00:31:30.580
Second clue is that actually in this country, you can do more than that.
00:31:33.300
You can make that statement in the form of burning a building or throwing chunks of concrete
00:31:37.880
at police and you'll probably emerge unscathed.
00:31:41.320
You can go home after a fun night of violent insurrection, pop some, you know, leftover
00:31:45.800
Chinese into the microwave, watch a little Netflix before bed.
00:31:49.360
This should tell you something about the level of fascism in America, namely that the level
00:31:54.500
Unless we're counting you, yourself, as, you know, the violent bully wreaking havoc and
00:31:59.660
destruction as the fascist, in which case the level of fascism in America is you.
00:32:04.640
And, you know, we could go on for days here, giving other ways in which modern America differs
00:32:11.000
from Nazi Germany because it differs in every conceivable way.
00:32:14.440
Yet Jameel Hill is an allegedly educated person saying this.
00:32:17.900
And lots of allegedly educated people agree and have said similar.
00:32:26.900
First, that people in this country are woefully ignorant of the basic facts of history.
00:32:31.360
We have reached catastrophic levels of ignorance.
00:32:35.640
Now, people in this country, they know some names, Hitler, Thomas Jefferson, Columbus.
00:32:39.580
And of course, they put all those people on the same moral level.
00:32:42.220
And they know some events, you know, World War II, 9-11, the moon landing, the building
00:32:47.780
of the pyramids, you know, the pilgrims were in there somewhere in between.
00:32:51.980
But they have almost no fleshed out understanding of any of these people or events.
00:32:56.260
And that's because a fleshed out, in-depth understanding, developing a real grasp of a subject, requires
00:33:04.680
You want to know about the rise of Nazism in Germany?
00:33:08.460
Well, read The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich.
00:33:10.760
One of the great non-fiction, great history books of all time, in my view.
00:33:15.740
And a country full of people who have melted their brains and destroyed their capacity for
00:33:19.640
concentration by ingesting nothing but TV and movies and YouTube videos aren't reading
00:33:26.600
So this is, as I said, crisis, catastrophic levels of ignorance that we're dealing with
00:33:33.820
And yet, you know, people, we would say that we have, we are maybe the most informed society
00:33:44.340
We certainly have access to more information than any other society ever has.
00:33:48.980
In the modern world, we have access to really all of the accumulated knowledge of mankind.
00:33:56.060
We have access to in these little devices that we carry around in our pockets.
00:34:04.000
We are, most of us, very informed in the sense that we have a lot of disjointed bits of trivia
00:34:10.620
and little bits of this and that bouncing around in our noggins.
00:34:13.740
But in terms of real understanding and actual knowledge of events and things that are occurring
00:34:24.500
around us and have occurred in history, we don't have very much of that at all.
00:34:30.020
Second thing is, of course, just the immense amount of privilege that you have to have
00:34:43.860
I don't know what her net worth is, but I can pretty much guarantee you it's considerably
00:34:49.920
And as I said, she makes a living just complaining about America and often in quite absurd terms.
00:35:04.320
And yet she looks at her position in America and what she goes through as equivalent to the
00:35:11.540
persecution of people under Hitler and Nazi Germany.
00:35:13.900
The little bit of discomfort that she faces, you know, in her mind, it may as well be getting
00:35:21.920
shipped off to a concentration camp because she is so privileged.
00:35:28.640
These rioters and looters, extremely, extraordinarily privileged people who encounter a little bit
00:35:36.740
of pushback, a few obstacles, a few things don't go the way in their lives, and they cannot handle it.
00:35:50.360
It puts them, you know, in the same category as all of the horrifically oppressed and persecuted
00:35:59.620
So that is, you want to talk about privilege, there it is right there.
00:36:03.080
So that's why Jameel Hill is, of course, canceled.
00:36:06.380
But, you know, as I said, she'll be canceled again tomorrow.
00:36:11.500
And, you know, so every once in a while, we'll just, we'll check in with what Jameel Hill is
00:36:14.320
doing and cancel her and then go about our business.
00:36:19.140

00:37:13.280
The Democrats have come up with a brilliant plan to counter-program the Republican convention.
00:37:18.400
While the GOP sells grace, forgiveness, and patriotism,
00:37:21.640
the Democrats are burning the country to the ground.
00:37:24.060
We'll talk about that, and we have the Chinese mailbag spreading wisdom
