The Matt Walsh Show - Ep. 559 - #MeToo Canceled As Dems Canonize Accused Rapist And Serial Abuser

00:00:00.000 Today on the Matt Wall Show, Kamala Harris was the latest Democrat to visit and pay homage to

00:00:05.120 Jacob Blake, credibly accused rapist and serial abuser. With the canonization of men like Blake

00:00:10.740 and George Floyd, among others, the Me Too movement is now officially dead. And we'll

00:00:14.880 talk about that. Also, five headlines, including BLM fighting for racial justice by harassing

00:00:19.780 elderly diners at restaurants. And in our daily cancellation, I will cancel gender reveal parties 1.00

00:00:25.200 before they get us all killed. All of that and more on the way. But we start here. Kamala Harris,

00:00:31.060 as I said, latest high-profile Democrat to meet with and pay homage to Jacob Blake and his family.

00:00:36.780 After speaking with them for an hour, Harris gushed to reporters that Blake Sr., known for ranting about

00:00:43.600 Jews and crackers on social media, and Blake Jr., accused of drunkenly abusing a woman over the 0.98

00:00:49.560 course of several years before finally breaking into her house and raping her, are incredible. 0.99

00:00:54.160 Watch.

00:00:55.840 Senator, how was your meeting with the Blake family today?

00:00:58.900 It's really wonderful. I mean, they're an incredible family. And what they've endured,

00:01:04.460 and they just do it with such dignity and grace. And, you know, they're carrying the weight of

00:01:09.700 a lot of voices on their shoulders.

00:01:12.020 And what was the message that you shared with him and his family?

00:01:14.960 Now, Blake family attorney, Benjamin Crump, a man for whom the term ambulance chaser was invented,

00:01:32.200 issued a press release after the visit, providing more details about this kumbaya session. According to

00:01:37.860 Crump, he said, did a press release, quote, Senator Harris had an inspirational and uplifting one-hour

00:01:43.100 visit with Jacob Blake Jr. and his family today. She spoke individually with each family member

00:01:47.320 about how they were handling the trauma and urged them to take care of their physical and mental

00:01:51.020 health. In a moving moment, Jacob Jr. told Senator Harris that he was proud of her, and the senator

00:01:56.220 told Jacob that she was also proud of him and how he is working through his pain. Now would be a good

00:02:01.840 time to remind ourselves why Blake Jr. finds himself in a position where he must work through

00:02:07.400 his pain. And that reason is that a few months ago, a sobbing and trembling woman called 911 to

00:02:13.600 report that Jacob Blake had allegedly broken into her home early in the morning, digitally raped her,

00:02:18.420 humiliated her, then stolen her debit card and vehicle. On the day of the shooting, Blake had

00:02:22.940 returned to his alleged victim's house with a knife, taken her keys, and then assaulted the police

00:02:28.180 officers when they arrived in response to the woman's emergency call. This is the man that

00:02:33.740 apparently swells Kamala Harris with pride when she looks upon him. And she's not alone, not by a

00:02:40.580 long shot. Joe Biden had his own state visit with the royal family of Kenosha, Wisconsin, and spoke

00:02:45.840 emotionally about the resilience and hope and optimism of the accused rapist and serial abuser.

00:02:51.600 Let's watch a little bit of that.

00:02:52.780 I just spent an hour or more with the family as I got off the airplane. Had an opportunity to spend

00:03:04.120 some time with Jacob on the phone. He's out of ICU. We spoke for about 15 minutes. His brother and two

00:03:15.220 sisters, his dad and his mom on the telephone. And I spoke to him a lot before, but we spent

00:03:22.180 it's time together with my wife. And he talked about how nothing was going to defeat him.

00:03:33.420 How whether he walked again or not, he was not going to give up.

00:03:39.060 We talked about a psalm in my church, our church, Father, based on the 23rd psalm. May he raise you up

00:03:46.480 in eagle's wings and bury you on the breath of dawn until we, and keep you in God, hold you in the palm of his hand

00:03:53.020 that we meet again. Well, I think, Alderman, what's been unleashed with a lot of people is

00:04:02.180 they understand that fear doesn't solve problems. Only hope does.

00:04:09.880 Now, I know it can be kind of hard to understand what he's saying there. He's talking as if he just

00:04:19.560 jogged 98 miles through the desert, completely out of breath, while he's really just sitting there.

00:04:25.000 But this is a healthy man, folks. A very physically healthy man. Not physically falling apart before

00:04:29.800 our eyes at all, okay? But anyway, the media, of course, has also played a crucial role in Blake's

00:04:36.100 canonization. On Monday, the New York Times published a lengthy article about the suspected

00:04:42.340 rapist's medical challenges, declaring that Blake can now be the, quote, rare survivor to, quote,

00:04:48.520 tell his own story. And it takes the article's author, Nicholas Bogle Burroughs, about 30 sentences

00:04:54.540 to finally mention that the rape charge exists, and then only mentioned as vaguely as possible,

00:05:00.180 of course. He writes only that Mr. Blake, quote, pleaded not guilty on Friday to three domestic

00:05:05.580 charges against him, including a sexual assault account. That's it. No mention of the specific

00:05:11.020 details of the charge, which are harrowing and horrifying. No mention of the knife in Blake's

00:05:16.160 possession on the day of the shooting. No mention that he assaulted the police officers who came to

00:05:20.260 the aid of his alleged victim. The alleged victim herself gets only half a sentence of acknowledgement.

00:05:26.940 She is described as, quote, the woman who reported the assault called 911. That's it. That's the end of it.

00:05:33.660 We were told nothing of her condition, how she feels, how she's holding up, how she's coping with

00:05:39.500 seeing millionaire athletes and celebrities rally around and celebrate the man who she says raped,

00:05:45.540 abused, and terrorized her. The New York Times just does not consider her physical or emotional state

00:05:51.920 relevant. And on that point, Biden, Harris, and the rest of the Democrats agree. Now, this is quite

00:05:59.620 interesting coming from the same people who, in very recent history, have spoken so passionately

00:06:05.240 about the need to amplify the voices of sexual violence survivors. Speaking of which, the leaders

00:06:11.560 of Me Too just last week launched something called the Survivors Agenda, which is supposed to amplify the

00:06:17.740 voices of sexual violence survivors. In a video announcing the initiative just last week, the Me Too

00:06:22.620 warriors said that though they've made, quote, incredible strides and had some, quote, amazing wins,

00:06:28.280 there is still much that must be done to ensure that society takes survivors seriously and that

00:06:33.360 all survivors are heard. In fact, let's watch that video right now.

00:06:37.560 It's been almost three years since millions of us raised our hands and voices to say Me Too.

00:06:43.500 Since then, we've seen incredible strides and experienced some amazing wins. We've also learned

00:06:49.520 that we have so much farther to go to bring about the change we need to see.

00:06:53.420 We launched the Survivors Agenda to center what survivors in this country care about so we can

00:06:59.440 build the kind of world we all deserve. As a survivor and an attorney who has dedicated my

00:07:04.540 career to seeking justice, the thing that I most want to see is institutions take survivors seriously

00:07:12.020 and develop the systems that allow for justice and for healing.

00:07:17.440 As a survivor, the things that I care about most are ensuring that all survivors are heard and supported,

00:07:24.520 no matter their zip code, immigration status, ethnicity, or any other reason.

00:07:30.300 There's power in our numbers and an end to sexual violence needs all of us.

00:07:36.880 We are resourceful, resilient, and ready.

00:07:39.880 Yes, all survivors are heard. Well, not all.

00:07:45.560 We've always known that exceptions are made to this amplify their voices thing whenever

00:07:50.300 a high-profile Democrat politician is accused. But over the past few months, we've learned that

00:07:55.480 the exempt list also includes women who are allegedly brutalized by men who later die or are injured in

00:08:01.880 police custody, provided, of course, that the circumstances, including the races of those involved,

00:08:05.900 are politically useful to groups like BLM.

00:08:08.160 George Floyd was convicted of forcing his way into a woman's home, shoving a gun into her

00:08:13.160 stomach, and robbing her in front of her child. Jacob Blake is credibly accused of the brutal

00:08:18.620 crimes already described. These victims' voices are far from amplified. On the contrary, the very

00:08:25.680 existence of these women is covered up, buried, ignored. The champions of Me Too certainly won't say

00:08:33.580 their names or even acknowledge them in passing. They are shoved to the side and trampled over in the

00:08:41.040 rush to lionize their abusers. There are real consequences to this. First of all, the continued

00:08:47.940 emotional trauma suffered by women who must now live in a country that hails their abusers as heroes is real.

00:08:54.680 Also, will the next woman confronted by a man she knows from experience to be violent and volatile

00:09:01.400 hesitate to call 9-1-1, fearing that he'll get himself shot and she'll be blamed for it while society

00:09:07.360 wails in grief over the tragic fate of her abuser? What if Blake's alleged victim had made that

00:09:12.720 calculation? What if she had not called the police? What would the angry man with a knife who had already

00:09:19.020 stolen her keys have done? Would he have done something terrible to her? Would he have hurt the

00:09:24.820 children? Now, we can't know the answer to that question, but we do know that if things had played

00:09:30.440 out that way, BLM would have nothing to say. Me Too would remain quiet. The left and Democrats like

00:09:38.720 Biden and Harris would just yawn and continue along their way. The woman in the Jacob Blake case, 0.83

00:09:45.640 the woman who is still just the woman, nameless, is not the kind of victim that any of these groups

00:09:52.800 care about. And that's because they don't care about women at all. Let's get to our five headlines.

00:10:05.940 You know, if we've learned any lesson over the past few months, it's that emergencies happen,

00:10:11.280 and if you're not prepared for the emergency before it happens, well, then you're in catch-up mode. And

00:10:16.900 you don't want to be in the mode of trying to catch up and get prepared after the fact. So that's why

00:11:33.060 white people while they eat dinner. This is the, this is the, you know, one of the, one of the primary 0.98

00:11:37.220 tactics now of BLM, and because BLM are very tough and brave, they focus once again on elderly people.

00:11:44.940 Watch. 0.99

00:12:06.580 F***, you old f****. No, we don't see much. 1.00

00:12:16.780 What the f*** them about? 0.98

00:12:18.540 We don't see much. 0.99

00:12:20.320 We don't see much. 0.99

00:12:25.860 Let the f***ury go. 1.00

00:12:31.880 So tough, really tough, intimidating to elderly people, you know, big, big tough guys. 0.85

00:12:51.420 You're so strong and brave are these warriors for freedom.

00:12:54.720 Oh, and by the way, here's BLM same day, same city harassing and assaulting a black McDonald's 0.94

00:13:01.280 manager. 0.73

00:13:01.880 Hey, there's somebody with a wheelchair in that you need to let out. 1.00

00:13:06.520 No, you need to let the wheelchair in. 0.83

00:13:09.020 If we open that door, it's going to open up the people.

00:13:12.040 No, no, no.

00:13:12.860 Buckle the door, Ed.

00:13:13.960 The people that are...

00:13:14.700 I like the office door for me.

00:13:16.800 Can I get some I like the office door for me?

00:13:18.660 Do you let that person out?

00:13:21.020 Do you let that person in there, Ed? 0.97

00:13:23.540 I'm f***ing, yeah. 0.91

00:13:24.480 Do you let that person in there, Ed? 0.98

00:13:26.400 Are you trying to hold that person in there, Ed?

00:13:28.340 Are you trying to hold that person in there, Ed? 1.00

00:13:31.280 Shut up! 1.00

00:13:32.120 Shut up! 1.00

00:13:32.780 Do you want to touch me? 1.00

00:13:33.680 Shut up! 1.00

00:13:34.900 Put your hands on me! 1.00

00:13:36.180 Put your hands on me! 0.99

00:13:41.080 Sorry!

00:13:41.300 Wow. Okay. Well, so apparently every time I've seen, you know, someone shout at a McDonald's

00:13:56.560 manager because they got a six piece nugget instead of an eight piece nugget, uh, that was

00:14:00.760 really, they were really advancing racial justice. And I didn't realize that. So when you shout at a

00:14:05.580 McDonald's manager, you're advancing racial justice. You know, we hear the word hateful 0.89

00:14:09.720 tossed around quite a bit. Uh, the left especially likes to call everything hateful really. And most

00:14:16.100 of the time, hateful really means something more like, uh, has opinions that differ from my own or

00:14:23.840 is more passionate about this issue than I am. That's most of the time when someone calls something

00:14:28.840 hateful, that's really what they mean. But, um, what we see here with BLM, this is actually finally a,

00:14:37.980 a, a real hateful movement movement. Hateful in the most literal sense, they are filled with hate.

00:14:44.440 They have only hate to offer. Um, they aren't trying to achieve anything positive. It's not like

00:14:50.960 this is just a misguided way of achieving some positive goal. No, there is no positive goal.

00:14:57.280 There's nothing harassing and intimidating old people while they eat dinner. You know, that's,

00:15:01.920 that's not something you do because you have a goal in mind. It's something you do because you hate,

00:15:07.000 you hate them for the race. You hate them for their age. You hate them for their assumed 0.99

00:15:12.760 socioeconomic status. BLM is only hate. It is defined by hate. It hates white people. It hates 0.99

00:15:18.840 police. It hates conservatives. I mean, it hates pretty much everything and everyone that doesn't

00:15:23.240 bend to its whims. Uh, it hates black people too. I mean, if, if you noticed in that, in that last 1.00

00:15:30.040 video we played as a black McDonald's manager, um, racial minority, middle-class, you know,

00:15:36.500 as far as we know, not a conservative or Trump supporter, but they hated him too. Why? Well,

00:15:42.440 because he didn't dance to their tune. That's it. You have to do exactly what BLM wants. And if you

00:15:48.920 don't, then they hate you and you're an enemy and, uh, you're a fascist and you're Hitler and they can do 0.82

00:15:53.920 whatever they want to, and they're morally justified in doing so. That's the attitude. 0.73

00:15:57.500 Okay. Number two. Um, but wait, BLM maybe is not so bad after all report from the Hill reading now.

00:16:03.200 It says, despite several incidents of protests against racism and police brutality, turning

00:16:07.780 violent, more than 90% of the summer's protests were peaceful. According to an analysis released

00:16:12.940 Thursday, the report produced by the nonprofit armed conflict location and event data project

00:16:19.000 identified 7,750 protests between May 26th and August 22nd in 2,400 locations. The report found

00:16:27.140 that about 220 became violence, a term described defined as demonstrators fighting with police or

00:16:33.180 with counter protesters. The term also applies to demonstrators, uh, or demonstrations that resulted

00:16:38.080 in property damage in 93% of cases analyzed. There was no violence. Okay. So a few problems here.

00:16:46.660 First of all, um, there's no reason to trust these numbers at all period. So we could just end it

00:16:52.940 there, I guess. Second, based on this definition, what we just saw there, BLMers walking around harassing 0.77

00:17:01.440 and intimidating the elderly that doesn't count as violent by, by this definition. Now it is, it is

00:17:08.160 violent, but it doesn't count by this tally to be violent by this definition. You have to assault a

00:17:14.320 police officer or burn something or, you know, maybe kill, uh, you know, a random pedestrian as has 0.87

00:17:20.500 happened. Maybe that will count. I'm not sure. The third thing though, is, um, even, even putting 0.73

00:17:25.700 all that aside, let's pretend that the actual figure is 7%. 7% is a lot. Okay. That's a lot.

00:17:34.260 220 violent riots that even the media will call violent in one summer, 220. And you're what we're

00:17:43.900 supposed to be impressed with that. Oh, it was only 220, only 220 violent riots in a summer.

00:17:50.540 That's it. No, that's, that's a lot. Uh, I am not impressed with BLM's restraint, even if I pretended

00:17:58.880 that it was only 7%. I mean, the crazy thing is March for life, pro-lifers get together hundreds

00:18:07.980 of thousands been doing this, uh, every year for, for over four decades. It's never been violent.

00:18:14.360 There has, there has been 0% violence over four decades with hundreds of thousands of people

00:18:21.800 gathered together. Now that's impressive. Okay. That is an impressive streak, but when you can't

00:18:28.600 even put together, you know, like four days in a row of nonviolent protests, um, no, that's,

00:18:35.260 you know what that tells me? That tells me this is a violent movement. That's what it tells me by

00:18:40.940 definition. 7% of your protest, your quote unquote protests turn violent. That's a violent movement

00:18:48.220 to be nonviolent. That number needs to be 0%, 0.001% maybe.

00:18:58.600 Um, okay. Let's see. Number three. Now, I don't know where this is from or the context, but this

00:19:05.480 apparently is a, well, it's a, it's a vegan funeral for slabs of meat at the supermarket. I don't know

00:19:10.880 when it happened, but it's making the rounds online. Pretty heart-wrenching stuff. Let's, let's take a look.

00:19:16.240 Yeah, that's, that's, that's emotional. Um, and I joined these vegans in many ways. I, I am with

00:19:37.640 them and I too hope that one day the sight of a murdered cow will be rare. Um, because that tastes 0.99

00:19:46.560 a lot better than medium well. And actually this is a common vegan tactic. It turns out I looked it

00:19:52.340 up and, um, they do this a lot, I guess. I've never had the pleasure of witnessing it in person

00:19:57.740 when I'm at the supermarket. I wish I would, but I've never seen it, but here's some more footage.

00:20:01.820 I found this from an animal rights YouTube channel. And, uh, in this case they are mourning

00:20:07.200 and commemorating some frozen chickens. Watch.

00:20:31.820 May they rest in peace is pieces with gravy. Uh, as for the, the vegans themselves. Well, you know,

00:20:59.060 they say that there's a mental health crisis in America and exhibit a right there. Number four, 0.97

00:21:05.620 the United nations sent out a tweet yesterday. It said the COVID-19 pandemic is demonstrating what

00:21:10.260 we all know. Millennia of patriarchy have resulted in a male dominated world with a male dominated

00:21:15.560 culture, which damages everyone, women, men, girls, and boys. It's demonstrating what now?

00:21:25.220 How does the, what, what does the patriarchy have to do with, I mean, okay, I, I guess I, this is kind

00:21:33.180 of how I remember thinking back in 2008, how the global financial crisis really demonstrated the need

00:21:41.120 for more trans representation in the Australian avant-garde theater scene, uh, which is to say the

00:21:48.380 two things aren't connected at all. But I suppose, I mean, really any, any event can demonstrate any

00:21:54.200 point you want. If you're not worried about things like making sense, uh, number five, finally, for our

00:22:01.040 most important story of the day. And, uh, look, I say this in all seriousness, I've, I've of course,

00:22:05.000 never been a supporter of Joe Biden. I never saw myself, you know, voting for him. I still probably

00:22:11.180 won't, but, um, I don't know. He just made a case for himself that even I can't ignore. He made one

00:22:19.040 point that sort of made me pause and say, Hmm, maybe there is a case for voting for him. I don't

00:22:25.080 know. He was being interviewed by reporters yesterday. And, uh, and this is, this is something

00:22:28.900 that he mentioned, kind of a sales pitch for himself that I thought was pretty persuasive.

00:22:33.680 Listen, step or two, uh, what's your response to that? Look at how he steps and look how I step.

00:22:40.700 Watch how I run up ramps and he stumbles down ramps. Okay. Come on.

00:22:45.120 Yeah, that's a good point. I mean, if you like me have always planned to vote for whoever can most

00:22:52.700 skillfully and swiftly navigate a ramp, then Biden might be our guy. I'm a one issue voter. Okay. And

00:23:01.040 my issue is ramps. I want to know how fast can you walk down them? How confidently, how gracefully

00:23:08.800 think of all the press of all the ramps that a president walks down in a, in a, I think the

00:23:14.580 latest study was a president has to walk down a ramp 14 times a week. Okay. So that's a lot of

00:23:20.440 ramps. And I mean, do you want a guy who's tripping and stumbling down the ramp, or do you want someone

00:23:27.040 who could do a cartwheel down the ramp if he wanted to? I just wish that I was alive back in the 19th

00:23:32.100 century, uh, to see Grover Cleveland, uh, because that man was a master of ramps. He used to, he used to

00:23:37.400 go down ramps on his hands, doing handstands. One of the all-time greats when it comes to,

00:23:42.360 to ramps. Um, anyway, interesting stuff there. The ramp debate rages on, but a little bit of a food

00:23:50.100 for thought, something to think about with, with the ramps. I'm glad that Biden brought that up.

00:23:53.580 We're going to get to our daily cancellation in just one second. But before we do, um,

00:23:57.580 listen, if you, uh, if it's still hot out, even though we're getting into September, a lot of places

00:24:02.280 in the country, especially if you live out on the West coast, uh, even where I live, it's, it's, it's

00:24:06.020 very hot. And do you want to get into your car, you know, drive out to the auto parts store, have

00:24:12.520 to deal with all of that? Why would you do that? You can just go to rockauto.com. It's so much

00:24:16.540 easier than walking into a store, dealing with all the questions they're going to ask you, uh, dealing

00:24:21.200 with the heat and the elements. Okay. Uh, why do that? You have access to rockauto.com in your

00:24:27.260 pocket. You have it at your desk. Okay. You've got a million ways these days to access rockauto.com.

00:24:32.020 That's all you got to do. Rockauto.com always offers the lowest prices possible rather than

00:24:37.240 changing prices based on what the market will bear, like airlines do, or like so many other

00:24:41.320 industries do rockauto.com. Uh, what I love about it, family business, it's an online business,

00:24:46.200 but it's also a family business. They've been doing this for 20 years and you can go to rockauto.com

00:24:50.740 to shop for auto and body parts from hundreds of manufacturers. Best of all, the prices, again,

00:25:16.520 rockauto.com right now, see all the parts available for your car, truck, and write Walsh in there.

00:25:21.180 How did you hear about us box? So that they know that we sent you. Let's get to our daily cancellation.

00:25:25.580 So today for our daily cancellation, we're going to be canceling gender reveal parties

00:25:29.960 because it's happened once again, according to the California department of forestry and fire

00:25:35.720 protection, some pyrotechnics used during a gender reveal party caused a forest fire and the people

00:25:42.500 responsible will face severe penalties. Here's the press release. It says Cal fire law enforcement

00:25:47.980 has determined the Eldorado fire burning near Oak Glen in San Bernardino County was caused by a smoke

00:25:53.600 generating pyrotechnic device used during a gender reveal party. The fire began at 10 23 AM on

00:25:59.620 Saturday or on September 5th, 2020 in the Eldorado ranch park. Cal fire reminds the public that with

00:26:05.920 the dry conditions and critical fire weather, it doesn't take much to start a wildfire. Those

00:26:10.780 responsible for starting fires due to negligence or illegal activity can be financially responsible

00:26:14.780 and criminally responsible. So, uh, so, so far 7,000 acres of land have been incinerated because a

00:26:21.320 couple of narcissists wanted to announce their baby's gender with fireworks instead of announcing 0.63

00:26:26.400 it by just, you know, announcing it saying something like, Hey, we're having a girl, but no, they needed

00:26:32.720 pink flames to rain down from the sky, lighting up the heavens and declaring their news onto the whole

00:26:38.140 earth. Uh, and this is not a new thing by the way, gender reveal parties seem to start for forest fires 0.97

00:26:43.240 every year. In total, about 98 million square miles have been burned because of gender reveal parties 1.00

00:26:49.840 and two and a half billion people have died. Those are rough estimates. Don't Google it. Just,

00:26:56.520 just go with it for now. The main point is simply that fires are no fires. Gender reveal parties are 0.95

00:27:03.560 stupid, extremely stupid for many reasons, but here's the main one. And I don't mean to disenchant or 1.00

00:27:09.560 demoralize you with this information, but, but here it is. Nobody cares about the gender of your

00:27:15.740 baby. Nobody is on pins and needles needing to know you might be, but nobody else is. I've got

00:27:23.340 like over 20 nieces and nephews and counting. And that that's one figure that is not an exaggeration.

00:27:28.460 Um, I, I didn't have a preference for the gender for any one of them. I didn't care that much. I'm 0.99

00:27:33.480 interested to know, but it would be, it would be really weird if my sister said to me, Hey, we're having 0.51

00:27:37.620 another baby. And I, and I went, Oh boy or girl. And she said, well, if you want to know, come to

00:27:41.920 the park next Friday at two 30, bring a long chair, uh, show starts at three. What? Why don't

00:27:47.840 you just tell me? Like, I'm not that interested. I'll, I'll wait for the baptism if that's how it's

00:27:52.500 going to be. But see the gender reveal party wouldn't bother me as much if it weren't part of

00:27:57.900 a larger trend. And the trend is people in the modern world deciding they need about 52 public

00:28:03.440 celebrations and gift giving occasions for every milestone, milestones that used to be normal and

00:28:09.040 celebrated, you know, once if at all. Uh, and, and, and with an intimate circle of family and very

00:28:14.780 close friends. But now we've decided that these things, which humans have been doing for millennia

00:28:19.560 are when we do them anyway, historically momentous occasions and legions of angels must come from on

00:28:25.940 high to sound the trumpet and sing choruses of hallelujahs. Consider how many public celebrations

00:28:32.020 a modern couple might have before they've even made it around the first turn on the monopoly board 0.61

00:28:37.200 of life. First, they have their engagement party, then a bridal shower, then the bachelor party,

00:28:42.100 then the bachelorette party, then the rehearsal dinner, the wedding, the wedding reception,

00:28:46.820 the post wedding brunch. If you're counting at home, that's eight parties just because these

00:28:52.440 egomaniacs are getting married. Meanwhile, nobody cares that much. I mean, we care, but not eight 0.98

00:28:58.860 parties worth of caring and they aren't done yet. Not by a long shot. When they decide to have a

00:29:03.560 child, there's the gender reveal party. There's the baby shower followed now by the man shower,

00:29:09.080 which is a baby shower for men or more precisely for individuals who might be mistaken for men. Uh,

00:29:15.660 then the mother gets a push present simply for pushing the baby out. And, uh, after that there is,

00:29:20.620 I'm told something called a sip and see, which is a party where people come and see the baby.

00:29:26.440 We used to call that seeing the baby. Now it's a sip and see, make sure to bring a present. This

00:29:33.960 will be the 15th time you give these psychotic materialists a present in the past year and a

00:29:38.480 half. And at some point there's going to be a first wedding anniversary party because that also is a

00:29:43.180 thing that people do now, by the way, apparently, I don't know if you knew that a party to congratulate

00:29:47.880 themselves for not getting divorced within the first 12 months of taking their vows. Uh, people have

00:29:52.620 parties for that now, and there will be, you know, the big first birthday party for the child

00:29:57.100 followed. I'm sure not far behind by the divorce party and then another engagement party and so on

00:30:05.100 and on and on until we are all saved by the sweet release of death. Of course, with our luck, when we

00:30:10.100 die, it will, it will turn out that, you know, there's a big reveal party for each soul to find out

00:30:15.000 if they're going to heaven or hell, like bite into the cupcake. If it's red inside and tastes like sulfur,

00:30:19.500 I hope you packed your summer clothes. Um, and it's kind of strange when you think about it because

00:30:25.180 by the amount of, of, of celebrating we do for these ordinary life events, you'd think that we in our

00:30:33.860 culture have a serious and profound appreciation for their personal importance and personal magnitude. But

00:30:41.420 that doesn't seem to be the case. I don't look around at our society and notice a deep reverence for

00:30:47.540 marriage and parenthood. I notice in fact, the exact opposite. And when you think a little harder about it,

00:30:53.340 you realize that it kind of makes sense. These parties are not a reflection of our appreciation for these

00:30:59.200 institutions and milestones. That's because the parties don't really celebrate the institutions and

00:31:03.980 milestones themselves. The parties are a celebration of the individuals. The individuals are throwing

00:31:11.200 themselves expensive parties to give you an opportunity to celebrate them as individuals.

00:31:18.100 This also explains why all of these baby and pregnancy celebrations are popular in well-off liberal areas

00:31:24.500 where almost everyone is pro-abortion. What are they doing celebrating what they believe to be a

00:31:30.120 parasitic infestation? Well, again, they aren't celebrating the pregnancy or the baby. It's the woman, 1.00

00:31:35.000 the person. They are gathering to stroke her ego. Rather, she has called this gathering. She has

00:31:42.040 summoned them for the solemn task of kissing her ass, which these days also, of course, is what almost 1.00

00:31:49.740 the entire wedding reception is designed to do as well. We joke about women being bridezillas on their 1.00

00:31:55.980 wedding day, and we excuse it by saying, well, it's her big day. But first of all, just because it's your

00:32:02.320 big day, why should that be an excuse to act like a raging sociopath? I don't even tolerate that behavior

00:32:07.880 from my three-year-old on his birthday. You're a grown woman, allegedly. Pull yourself together. Also, it's not 0.97

00:32:15.280 just your big day, okay? It's supposed to be a day for you and the groom and the family. It's supposed to

00:32:21.280 really be a day celebrating the marriage, not you, the marriage. If you're seeing it as a day about you, that's a bad

00:32:31.380 sign. And that's why I would recommend to any man out there, if you're engaged and your bride-to-be is

00:32:36.760 already giving off bridezilla vibes, maybe think about getting out now while you still can. Bridezillas 1.00

00:32:42.700 become wifezillas. Women who want everything to be about them on their wedding day will, it turns out, 1.00

00:32:48.360 bring that attitude with them into the marriage. When it comes to her narcissism and self-involvement,

00:32:54.200 the wedding is just the appetizer. You don't want to see the main course. And dessert, well, dessert is a

00:33:00.120 70-30 custody arrangement. Now, I was fortunate that I didn't have to learn this lesson the hard way. My wife was

00:33:06.240 anything but a bridezilla, yet there are a lot of bridezillas and brozillas out there. Our culture of self-worship

00:33:12.000 is pretty much designed to create them, build them, churn them out like an assembly line. And all of the over-the-top

00:33:17.800 self-congratulatory pageantry is both a symptom and a cause of the problem. So, I'm canceling all gender reveals 1.00

00:33:25.840 and other superfluous celebrations. You will be permitted one wedding reception, no more than

00:33:32.120 three hours in length. And that's the only public celebration you get until your 50th wedding

00:33:37.480 anniversary. Needless to say, when I am theocratic dictator, this will be a matter of law. Violators

00:33:43.280 will be thrown into a volcano. And that will be a cause for public celebration.

00:33:49.080 We'll leave it there. Thanks for watching, everybody. Thanks for listening. Have a great

00:33:55.440 day. Godspeed.
