The Matt Walsh Show - Ep. 562 - There Is A Full-Fledged Effort To Sexualize Children In Our Culture

00:00:00.000 Today on the Matt Wall Show, as the backlash against the child sexualizing cuties movie on

00:00:04.820 Netflix grows, it's important for us to take a step back and understand that the movie fits

00:00:09.360 into a larger and diabolical trend in our culture, which we'll talk about today. Also,

00:00:13.500 five headlines, including an interesting expose on the privileged lives of some of the rioters

00:00:19.800 arrested in New York. And in our daily cancellation, I'll address the media outrage about fans

00:00:24.680 in Kansas City last night who allegedly booed racial unity. That's not really what they were

00:00:30.160 doing, but we'll talk about that today. All that on the way. First, a word from Policy Genius.

00:00:35.080 You know, it's something we don't always think about, but we should. We don't like to think

00:00:37.960 about it because the fact is we aren't going to be around forever and anything can happen. And

00:00:43.400 that's why I have life insurance. It's about protecting my family in light of the unknown

00:00:48.720 and the inevitable. That's the way that I look at it. September is National Life Insurance Awareness

00:00:53.220 Month. But with everything going on right now, a lot of people aren't even aware that it's possible

00:00:57.440 to buy life insurance at all. The good news is that it's still easy to shop for life insurance

00:01:01.220 right now. It's as easy as it's ever been because of Policy Genius. And if you have loved ones,

00:01:06.340 depending on your income, you probably should. Here's the main thing. Here's the main thing to

00:01:09.780 keep in mind. Right now, you could save $1,500 or more a year by using Policy Genius to compare

00:01:16.780 life insurance policies. When you're shopping for a policy that could last for a decade or more,

00:01:21.380 those savings really start to add up. What is Policy Genius? Well, it's an insurance marketplace

00:01:26.320 built and backed by a team of industry experts. Let's quickly talk about how it works. Okay,

00:01:45.980 handle all the paperwork, all of the red tape. So really, it's two steps for you. And then

00:01:50.460 everything else is Policy Genius. Super easy, very painless. That's been my experience with

00:01:55.280 Policy Genius. And you don't, you know, you don't have to know what the hell you're doing in order

00:01:59.680 to use Policy Genius, which is good for me because I never do know what the hell I'm doing. So if you

00:02:05.420 need life insurance, head to policygenius.com right now to get started. You can save $1,500 or more a

00:02:11.320 year by comparing quotes on their marketplace. Policy Genius, when it comes to insurance, it's nice to get it

00:02:17.800 right. Okay. Well, you know, before the coronavirus lockdowns forced a temporary hiatus from these sorts

00:02:25.800 of activities, libraries across the country on any given night might have featured cross-dressing men

00:02:31.500 with sexually suggestive stage names, reading stories to large crowds of visibly confused children.

00:02:38.380 A scene such as this could be found in both red and blue states, big cities and small towns,

00:02:43.820 sometimes against the objections of a minority of residents, sometimes with near unanimous approval.

00:02:49.760 If the drag queen story hour was held in a more radically liberal area, it may have come with a

00:02:54.660 warm-up act like a strip tease by the drag queen, or there may have been an opportunity for the 0.99

00:02:59.520 children to lay on top of the drag queen and wrestle with him. These are both documented occurrences

00:03:04.960 at drag queen story hours. If the event was held in Houston, the drag queen may have also been a

00:03:09.360 registered sex offender. Shock of all shocks. Now, these sorts of spectacles are so common these

00:03:16.380 days that they become old news. Some people still protest, thankfully, but drag queen story hour is 1.00

00:03:21.980 officially a thing in our culture, and it's here to stay. Of course, nobody's ever been able to

00:03:28.320 sufficiently explain why it needs to be a thing. Why exactly do we need cross-dressing burlesque performers

00:03:35.140 at the library? Why can't the librarian come and read like a Dr. Seuss book to the kids, as had been

00:03:40.180 the custom for decades before we decided that the job would be better done by men dressed like satanic, 0.97

00:03:46.120 sexualized nuns? If we are given any coherent answer at all to this question, it'll be some

00:03:54.420 pablum about tolerance, acceptance, and so forth. But the real answer, the one they won't say out loud,

00:03:59.340 is that the left has found public libraries to be yet another useful staging ground for the sexual 0.98

00:04:05.260 indoctrination of children. There are many such staging grounds. Public schools have proven, of

00:04:11.520 course, to be especially fertile soil for this. Comprehensive sex education in schools all over

00:04:15.780 the country and in Europe goes far beyond teaching the scientific facts of human sexuality. Children are

00:04:21.380 told not just what sex is, but given advice on how and when and in what way to engage in it.

00:04:29.340 A sex ed curriculum recently unveiled in California, for example, gives students tips on how to perform 0.88

00:04:34.640 oral sex, bondage. The World Health Organization has issued its own guidance on approaching sex ed,

00:04:40.680 recommending that children as young as four be given information about, and I quote,

00:04:46.340 enjoyment and pleasure when touching one's own body. A sex ed program called Teen Talk, which originated

00:04:52.520 in Canada but has been since adopted in some places in the U.S., advises kids that, among other things, 0.99

00:04:59.660 quoting now from their website, anal sex is safe and can be done with a penis, finger, or sex toy. 0.99

00:05:05.360 It also goes into issues or, you know, of so-called gender identity claiming that some people are, 0.99

00:05:10.580 quote, beyond male or female, or maybe a combination of both male and female. Speaking of which, the radical

00:05:17.000 gender ideology being pushed in our kids through media, Hollywood, government, in schools, etc., represents

00:05:23.120 perhaps the most insidious and damaging form of sexual childhood sexualization. We are now told

00:05:28.780 that children, before they're old enough to enter kindergarten, are mentally and emotionally competent

00:05:34.460 enough to choose their own gender. By nine or ten, if not earlier, we're told that they can meaningfully 0.98

00:05:40.200 consent to taking hormone pills that will radically alter their body's normal processes. In some cases,

00:05:46.120 minors are allowed to consent to permanent surgical mutilation, breast removal, and other abominations.

00:05:52.880 This clearly has the effect of sexualizing children as it normalizes the idea that kids

00:05:57.280 are emotionally and psychologically capable of giving consent. As I have argued many times,

00:06:02.420 the whole entire basis for our laws against sexual contact between adults and children is that

00:06:07.140 children cannot consent to such contact. And thus, if the contact is made, it is always equal to

00:06:13.560 assault, no matter what the child says about it. As the left pushes for gender changes among children,

00:06:20.360 they also undermine the fundamental basis for age of consent laws. And there is no reason to think

00:06:26.720 that they don't know what they're doing when they do that. Now, we could go on for many more examples of

00:06:32.720 the sexualization of children and the normalization of pedophilia in our culture. We could talk about

00:06:37.260 11-year-old drag queens performing at gay clubs. We could talk about the fact that children,

00:06:42.100 on average, are exposed to hardcore pornography at the age of 10 or 11, if not younger.

00:06:47.240 And that sites like Pornhub explicitly market to minors and make millions of dollars doing so.

00:06:54.300 We could talk simply about the music and movies and shows and everything else that are produced on

00:06:59.180 a mainstream level and marketed to young audiences that are hypersexual. This is all part of the same

00:07:05.740 effort. And this is all the context into which the Netflix movie Cuties fits. We discussed it

00:07:12.640 yesterday. I'm not going to get into the graphic details again about the movie. I'm sure you've

00:07:16.900 heard it all by now. You've heard more than you probably want to hear. But the point I want to

00:07:21.940 emphasize today is that we shouldn't be shocked that the movie exists and that it's being defended so

00:07:28.320 desperately. Speaking of desperate defenses, here's perhaps the most absurd one that I've yet seen.

00:07:33.420 This is from Aja Romano, a Vox film critic. So you know it's going to be good. Aja says,

00:07:39.000 Incidentally, I'm a critic who highly recommends Netflix's Cuties. It's a wonderful, poignant,

00:07:44.040 challenging, and nuanced coming-of-age tale smartly crafted by a wonderful director.

00:07:49.060 The controversy surrounding it seems to be propaganda fueled by QAnon types and anti-Semites.

00:07:54.040 I also feel like you couldn't have picked a better film to frame such a controversy around.

00:07:59.180 I'm frankly delighted by a bunch of bigots settling in with pitchforks to flame the pedophile movie and

00:08:04.740 discovering this lovely, subtle story about girls battling fraught gender roles. Yes,

00:08:10.780 objecting to a film that shows scantily clad 11-year-old Muslims simulating sex acts is 0.93

00:08:16.920 anti-Semitism?

00:08:19.120 Yes, it appears that Aja reached into the grab bag of isms and pulled one out randomly,

00:08:25.820 which you can't blame her, I suppose. There's no coherent way to make an argument

00:08:29.140 that people who don't approve of movies about twerking children are bigots.

00:08:32.960 So that leaves you only with incoherent arguments like this one.

00:08:36.740 Or you could simply admit that the movie is highly inappropriate and offensive,

00:08:40.600 because that is self-evidently the case. But Aja can't do that. Many in the media can't do that.

00:08:46.080 Netflix could do it. Netflix issued another statement yesterday, yet again defending the

00:08:50.860 film. This is a statement from Netflix saying, quote,

00:08:54.540 Cuties is a social commentary against the sexualization of young children. It's an award-winning

00:09:00.400 film and powerful story about the pressure young girls face on social media and from society,

00:09:05.420 more generally growing up. And we'd encourage anyone who cares about these important issues

00:09:09.680 to watch the movie. You know, that would be great if it were true. A commentary on the sexualization

00:09:17.180 of young children would be very worthwhile and important. But Netflix can't explain why that

00:09:25.220 commentary would include crotch shots of 11-year-olds. They can't explain why the commentary about the

00:09:32.300 bad thing must actually exhibit the bad thing. The director of the film has never been able to

00:09:38.520 explain that either. In fact, she did an interview with The Wrap at Sundance back in the early part

00:09:43.340 of the year, way before there was this controversy. And in that interview, while explaining her

00:09:47.880 motivation for making the movie, she never really says that the movie is a critique of childhood

00:09:52.420 sexualization. The interviewer leads her there. The interviewer herself says that she thought the 0.68

00:09:57.640 movie was critical of the hyper-sexualization of Western culture. But here's what the director had to

00:10:02.740 say in her own words about why she made the movie. The question is, should we have the right to choose

00:10:12.420 which women we can be in this world? In our culture, you know, even today, me, I can say I'm not totally

00:10:24.820 free. Because I love to wear short dresses. And at the same time, sometimes when I go to the

00:10:35.380 religious ceremony, I wear the veil as well. So just choose as a woman who do you want to be.

00:10:46.860 Okay, so according to her, she was exploring a woman's struggle to be free and to make choices for 0.98

00:10:52.620 herself. Though the characters in the film are not women, they are children. Nonetheless,

00:10:58.860 the theme as she explains it there, back when she was getting only accolades for the movie because

00:11:03.520 only degenerate film critics had seen it, the theme as she explained it was kind of different than what

00:11:09.560 we're being told now. And I think that gets much closer to the real motivation behind the making of

00:11:15.440 the movie. And it gets to the heart of the motivation for the sexualization of children in

00:11:19.300 general in our culture. For the left, for the left, the highest good is to enable people to make

00:11:25.720 unfettered choices. Choices specifically in the realm of sexuality and gender. They aren't as much

00:11:32.100 fans of choices in other areas of life, of course. But in the realm of sexuality and gender, people must

00:11:37.160 be able to make choices without regard to any boundaries at all. Even biological and scientific

00:11:43.120 boundaries must be discarded. Moral boundaries must be discarded. Certainly religious boundaries must be 0.81

00:11:48.100 torn down. That's what the movie seems to really be about. That's what the sexualization of children

00:11:53.360 in our culture is largely about. The goal is to destroy moral boundaries and to view people as

00:11:59.700 primarily sexual beings, regardless of age or anything else. The point always and ultimately is

00:12:06.480 about the denial of objective truth and objective morality and the establishment of a society where everything

00:12:11.900 is relative. And what is good, what is most good, is for people to simply do what they want in the

00:12:18.420 moment. And this Netflix movie is just one more salvo in that war. But it's a war that is ongoing and has

00:12:26.100 been going on for a long time and will continue even after this controversy fades. Let's get to our five

00:12:33.420 headlines. You know, when you get on the Internet, you leave yourself wide open to the bad guys who

00:12:44.540 are out there. Not to be paranoid, but there are a lot of bad guys out there on the Internet who want

00:12:47.540 to steal your information. How much do you think your personal information is worth to cyber criminals?

00:12:51.520 Well, researchers have compiled an overview of the average price of stolen personal data for sale on the

00:12:56.860 dark web. And while online banking logins cost an average of $35, the range of documents and account

00:13:02.900 details needed to commit identity theft cost, you know, over $1,200. So that's a lot of money they

00:13:08.740 stand to make by stealing your information and selling it on the dark web. And, you know, and then

00:13:15.400 it becomes even more fraught when you consider kids on the Internet and all the ways that they are

00:13:21.080 vulnerable and exposed. And that's why it's so important to get LifeLock. And it's important to

00:13:25.440 understand how cybercrime and identity theft are affecting our lives. You could miss certain identity

00:13:29.560 threats by just monitoring your credit because you're not looking at what's going on in the dark

00:13:33.820 web. Good thing there's LifeLock. LifeLock detects a wide range of identity threats, stuff that you

00:13:39.920 wouldn't be able to find on yourself. And if they detect your information has potentially been

00:13:42.700 compromised, they're going to send you an alert and they're not going to leave you in the lurch.

00:13:46.100 They're going to have identity theft restoration specialists who are there to help you get it all

00:13:50.060 sorted out. No one can prevent all identity theft or monitor all transactions, all businesses,

00:13:53.760 but you can find out if your information is on the dark web. Get your free dark web scan

00:14:16.400 for our country. There's never a bad time, never a bad day or bad time, but today in particular is good

00:14:21.120 for that. I don't have much commentary to offer on 9-11, 19 years out, except to wonder aloud

00:14:26.280 to ask the same question, I guess, that so many people ask as these anniversaries roll around,

00:14:32.540 and that is if there was another 9-11, I mean a real another 9-11, you know, things are always

00:14:38.500 claimed to be the next 9-11 or the new 9-11 or another 9-11, but I'm talking about something

00:14:43.720 that really matches that in terms of the magnitude and something that weighs on the national consciousness

00:14:51.560 in the same way, to the same extent. If that happened again, when it happens again,

00:14:58.240 would we be capable as a nation of unifying, even briefly, in the face of it? As everyone always,

00:15:07.320 those of us who lived through it, I was, I don't know, 13 or 14, I think, when 9-11 happened,

00:15:13.460 and those of us who lived through it, we talk all the time about how the nation seemed unified in the

00:15:19.880 direct aftermath of the terrorist attack. I think we probably overstate just how unified, we probably,

00:15:26.380 in our minds, emotionally overstate and exaggerate it, especially those of us who were kids when it

00:15:32.700 happened, you know, but there's no question that there was a real sense of unity. It didn't last for

00:15:37.600 very long, but it was there. And I, you wonder, could, could we, if there was a 9-11, like tomorrow,

00:15:43.100 would there be even one day of everybody on the same side? Or would it be, boom, immediately,

00:15:50.320 we're politicizing it, blaming each other, pointing fingers and everything? That's the question. I'm not

00:15:55.700 going to get much into my answer, because my answer is very depressing. My answer is basically no, but

00:16:01.120 let's not harp on that today. Let's move on. Number two, Biden spokesman T.J. Ducklow, who perhaps

00:16:07.580 more than anyone else in politics, looks like his name, appeared on Fox yesterday and became

00:16:13.220 very evasive and seemingly flummoxed over extremely basic questions about the candidate and his

00:16:19.060 positions. Listen to this. Has Joe Biden ever used a teleprompter during local interviews

00:16:25.440 or to answer Q&A with supporters? Brett, we are not going to engage, this is, this is straight from

00:16:31.020 the Trump campaign. Yeah, they're using it. And what it does, and what it does, Brett, is it's trying

00:16:35.180 to distract the American people? I'm just, they're using it. They talk about it every day. Can you say

00:16:39.680 yes or no? That's because, they talk about it every day, Brett, because they don't have a coherent

00:16:43.700 strategy. Well, you have an answer, yes or no. Brett, they talk about it every day, because they don't have a

00:16:48.860 coherent argument for why Donald Trump deserves re-election, deserves four more years. We know that he

00:16:53.280 lied to the American people. We know that he has not shown leadership during this crisis, and they are desperate

00:16:59.300 to throw anything they can against the wall to try to distract from that fact. I understand, but you

00:17:03.780 can't answer the question. Brett, I am not going to allow the Trump campaign to funnel their questions

00:17:08.500 through Fox News and get me to respond to that. Well, TJ, we appreciate your time, and thank you for

00:17:13.300 coming on. Thanks, Brett. I love the tone he takes when he's asked a very basic question. So it's like,

00:17:19.720 TJ, is the sun hot? Now, Brett. Brett, now, Brett. Brett, now, Brett. Brett, that's a Republican talking

00:17:28.760 point. No, I just want to know if the sun is hot. Brett, now, hey, Brett, come on, Brett. Brett,

00:17:32.660 that's a, you got to stop at the gotcha questions. But really, this is a reflection, I think, of the

00:17:37.400 fact that TJ Ducklow and Friends, and by the way, Ducklow and Friends should be the name of a children's

00:17:42.460 show on Nick Jr. But Ducklow and Friends, they spend most of their time in the CNN, MSNBC, left-wing media

00:17:48.880 orbit, and are simply never asked any challenging questions at all of any kind. On the rare occasion that

00:17:55.880 they get a real question, they are permitted to dodge it with one little move, and then the

00:18:00.640 interviewer is going to move on. He's not going to press the issue. And so they're simply unprepared

00:18:06.720 for any kind of real questioning. And these were really, really basic good questions. A question

00:18:14.420 like, okay, what would you have actually done differently? You can criticize Trump's response

00:18:19.320 to the coronavirus. What would you have actually done that he didn't do? Doesn't want to answer

00:18:24.880 that question. Number three, speaking of MSNBC and people on there, Nancy Pelosi was on MSNBC 1.00

00:18:34.060 yesterday, and here's how that went. We have these fires in California, and in the West, 16 people

00:18:42.180 have died in Washington, Oregon, and California, including a firefighter and a one-year-old baby.

00:18:48.220 Our firefighters have been so very, very courageous. Now we're again breaking records. Mother Earth

00:18:55.340 is angry. She's telling us, whether she's telling us with hurricanes on the Gulf Coast,

00:19:00.940 fires in the West, whatever it is, that the climate crisis is real and has an impact.

00:19:07.060 And of course, we can assume no follow-up on that either. No question like,

00:19:11.460 Speaker Pelosi, how long have you been a pagan? Can you tell us more about your paganism?

00:19:17.000 That'd be a good question, because the idea that Mother Earth is angry, angry at us and is now

00:19:22.780 creating hurricanes and fires to punish us is pure paganism. It's a perfect example of the kind of 1.00

00:19:29.040 thing they can get away with saying on MSNBC without any follow-up. Mother Earth is angry at us and is 1.00

00:19:34.500 creating fires. That's really what you believe? This is pure paganism. It really is. And it goes to show

00:19:41.660 that the religiosity is a real need that we have. It's ingrained in us as human beings. And so if you

00:19:51.080 reject Christianity, as Nancy Pelosi has rejected her supposed Catholic faith, she goes to paganism,

00:20:00.820 as many Democrats have and are now essentially Mother Earth Gaia worshippers. But remember,

00:20:06.980 always remember, this is the pro-science side. Yes, pro-science people who believe that men can

00:20:14.380 get pregnant, women have penises, babies aren't people, and Mother Earth makes fires when she's 1.00

00:20:19.860 angry at us for driving SUVs. Pure, unadulterated science. Number four, the New York Post has an 0.99

00:20:27.800 interesting article looking, quote, inside the privileged lives of protesters busted for rioting

00:20:33.400 in Manhattan. And here's a look at the subjects of the articles. You can see the mugshots here.

00:20:38.980 A little rough, let's be honest. Not the best angle on these guys. It's a mugshot. You can't blame them.

00:20:44.720 But, you know, if I was a privileged rioter, I would have a personal stylist with me at all times so

00:20:50.020 that when I get arrested, maybe they can come in and just do a little touch-up, just run over,

00:20:54.340 you know, fix me up a little bit. I mean, your mugshot, it's a big moment. It's going to be with

00:20:58.640 you for the rest of your life. Anytime somebody Googles you, that's going to pop up. So it's going

00:21:03.900 to be there forever. They should really give you a chance to comb your hair, I think. Put on some

00:21:08.600 makeup. Whether you're a girl or guy, no judgment here, no discrimination. That one guy there, the one

00:21:15.960 over from the top on the left, he appears to have some sort of dead or perhaps hibernating

00:21:22.040 animal, some kind of woodland creature on top of his head. He should have been allowed to take

00:21:26.380 that off, in my opinion. So, but anyway, let's go to the article. It says, the so-called

00:21:31.980 revolutionaries who were busted for rioting at a new African Black Panther Party rally took a break

00:21:37.100 from their yacht club lives and modeling careers to be a part of the mayhem. Yes, these are members of

00:21:42.140 the Black Panther Party, apparently. They certainly don't make Black Panthers the way they used to,

00:21:47.620 is all I could say. The seven comrades, including wealthy upper state eastsider Clara Crabber,

00:21:52.820 had the mugshots tweeted out by the NYPD early Wednesday, days after their arrests. They were cuffed

00:21:58.580 during a protest organized by the Panthers and the revolutionary abolitionist movement, groups condemning

00:22:03.360 the death of Daniel Prude, who was killed while in custody of the Rochester Police Department in March.

00:22:09.160 Aside from Crabber, the redhead daughter of an architect and child psychiatrist with a second home

00:22:13.040 in Connecticut, five of the others arrested appear to also come from privileged backgrounds.

00:22:19.760 Frank Furmeister. Oh, okay, wait. Clara Crabber and Frank Furmeister. Are, those are really their,

00:22:28.360 are the police sure that these are their real names and not, not, not fake names? That sounds like the

00:22:33.340 kind of name you would just make up on the spot if the cops are asking you. What's my name? Uh,

00:22:37.580 it's, uh, Frank, uh, Furmeister Smith. Frank Furmeister? No, Frank, uh, Furmeister. Actually,

00:22:45.640 is it, uh, Frederick Furmeister. I mean, Frank Furmeister. Uh, Furmeister. Yeah, that's my name.

00:22:50.440 Anyway, it says that Frank Furmeister, charged with, uh, rioting and possession of a graffiti

00:22:55.000 instrument, is a freelance art director who's designed ads for Joe Coffey and has also worked

00:22:59.120 for Pepsi, Samsung, and the Glenn Levitt. He studied fine arts with a concentration in photography

00:23:03.800 at Florida State College. Uh, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Okay, so you get the idea.

00:23:08.560 These are all a bunch of privileged brats. No big surprise there. This really, this goes back to the 0.97

00:23:12.580 point I made, uh, before about these protests that they are expressions of extreme decadence more than

00:23:18.460 anything else. These are privileged, privileged, comfortable people, uh, searching for a struggle,

00:23:24.580 searching for a form of suffering, um, an oppression to make their lives meaningful.

00:23:29.880 We just, as people, we, we, it's very difficult for us to simply be comfortable and live in luxury

00:23:38.440 and admit that that's our lives. You'd think it'd be easy, but it's not. We, we, we need to have some

00:23:44.500 sort of struggle, something to overcome. And I think there are so many people in our country

00:23:48.540 who live lives of such unending comfort. And all of us, in fact, every single one of us,

00:23:54.780 no matter what our socioeconomic situation is, we all are, or almost all of us are absurdly comfortable

00:24:01.720 in comparison to almost everyone else who has ever lived on planet earth. Uh, that's just a reflection

00:24:08.880 of, of modern society. And because of that, you've got a lot of people who are desperate to,

00:24:13.380 you know, find meaning in some sort of struggle to invent some kind of, uh, you know, boogeyman for

00:24:19.260 them to fight against. And I think that's a lot of what we're seeing with these writings,

00:24:23.740 the riots and the looting and Antifa and everything else. Number five, finally, in our most important

00:24:28.840 story of the day, as you know, I've always been a critic of dogs. I think dogs generally take,

00:24:33.900 take more than they give. They are needy, emotional, high maintenance. It's like having a teenager in

00:24:39.720 the home, I guess, except one that craps on the carpet and eats your couch. Um, but there are a few

00:24:45.720 good dogs out there. Even I must admit, and here's one right here. Watch.

00:24:49.860 No peace. The police. The police.

00:24:54.480 The police.

00:24:58.480 The police.

00:24:59.480 The dogs are attacking.

00:25:01.480 The police.

00:25:03.980 Oh yeah.

00:25:06.980 Oh yeah.

00:25:09.980 Oh.

00:25:10.980 Oh.

00:25:11.980 Oh my.

00:25:13.980 Oh my.

00:25:14.980 What the.

00:25:15.980 What the.

00:25:16.980 I mean, look on the bright side. At least he wasn't facing the other direction. That would have

00:25:24.000 been. Things can always be worse, I guess is what we learned from that. But that dog right there is

00:25:30.940 a dog who makes himself useful. Um, so many dogs are called good dogs, though they have not earned

00:25:37.240 the title. That dog though. That's a good dog. Good dog. Well done. Well done. Thank you for your

00:25:45.520 service. Let's get to our daily cancellation. Today for our daily cancellation, I'll be canceling all

00:25:50.100 the people freaking out over the Chiefs fans last night, uh, booing the players as they had their

00:25:55.840 moment of unity. So backing up here for a moment, the NFL was, was back in action on Thursday night.

00:26:00.180 Not a very interesting game. Chiefs won 34 to 20. Of course, the question was what would happen

00:26:05.600 before the game? You know, how far would the NFL go in the first game back to alienate the fan base

00:26:10.420 even further? I thought at the very least they might randomly select a white fan from the stands 0.51

00:26:15.540 and drag them onto the field to be ritualistically flogged as atonement for the myriad sins of 0.89

00:26:19.760 whiteness. But shockingly, that didn't happen. Uh, there was none of that. There, there wasn't 0.95

00:26:24.540 much of anything. The Texans didn't come out for the Anthem at all, which fine. I prefer that. I prefer

00:26:29.180 that over the theatrics during the Anthem. Just get it out of sight as far as I'm concerned. Uh, the

00:26:33.800 Chiefs all, all stood, uh, but one player. So that wasn't too bad. But then right before the game

00:26:38.920 started, they went out onto the field, locked arms, and had a moment of unity. And the fans

00:26:45.340 didn't seem to like it very much. Listen.

00:27:05.200 Thank you.

00:27:08.920 Now the left and the people in sports media, but I repeat myself, I suppose, have been fainting

00:27:17.400 quite performatively over this. They booed a moment of unity. Why, I never. Um, that's how I imagine

00:27:24.080 them when they're tweeting, doing this with their hands. How dare these, uh, you know, how dare these

00:27:28.680 fans boo racial unity? They must be a bunch of racists. How could they? A headline on the leftist 0.99

00:27:33.540 news site, Raw Story, called the fans classless trash. John Fugelsang said, America's racist, 0.99

00:27:40.120 always booing at demonstrations against the racism, never booing at actual racism. Sports writer Michael

00:27:46.160 Lee was, uh, was, was very upset. He said, my hometown's got no love for unity. They're booing

00:27:51.400 unity now. Charlotte Clymer of the extremist group, the human rights campaign said, who's surprised by

00:27:56.960 these fans who are booing? It was never about the national Anthem. It was never about respect for the

00:28:00.920 flag. It was always about sheer discomfort over any personal accountability a fan might be

00:28:04.860 motivated to consider regarding their role in systemic racism. Another media person, Cameron

00:28:09.960 Justice said, booing equality is pretty telling and on and on and on. Now, all of this, of course,

00:28:16.560 misses the point on purpose. Despite the pretensions of the left, nobody is against unity or justice or

00:28:23.580 equality. The left likes to pretend that it's waging a war against cartoon villains who are in

00:28:29.540 principle actually opposed to, you know, things like justice as if we're saying, yeah, you know,

00:28:34.560 we're not big fans of justice. Just, uh, it doesn't do much for us. We're, we're, we're, we're sort of

00:28:38.800 anti-justice. We're, we're big fans of injustice, actually. We're injustice. That's more our speed.

00:28:43.840 No, that's not a position that anybody holds. Even people who actually do favor injustice, like the

00:28:49.940 people who defend rioters and looters as they burn down city blocks. Those are people who favor

00:28:54.340 injustice, but they don't see themselves that way and they would never be that explicit about it. In

00:28:59.480 fact, they feel the need to claim that rioting and looting is justice and to defend it on that basis.

00:29:05.880 That's how humans work. It's called rationalizing. So why were people booing? Well, the reason people

00:29:13.580 booed the moment of unity is that we have come to understand what is really meant in our culture

00:29:19.520 by unity. It's just like when someone starts talking about being anti-racist, I'd boo that too.

00:29:26.740 Is that because I'm pro-racist? No, it's because when I hear someone talk about being anti-racist,

00:29:32.340 I know that they don't really mean anti-racist. I know that anti-racism is a euphemism and a lot of,

00:29:39.140 a lot of actual racism is promoted and justified under the guise of being anti-racist. So yes,

00:29:44.860 I boo you when you say it because I know what you really mean and you know what you really mean.

00:29:50.200 So let's stop pretending we don't understand each other. This is the way the game is always played

00:29:54.920 though with the left. They do the same thing with Black Lives Matter. If somebody opposes Black Lives

00:29:59.020 Matter, they say, oh, you don't think Black Lives Matter, huh? No, I do think Black Lives Matter.

00:30:03.300 Everybody thinks that. Nearly everyone in the country agrees on that point. Near unanimous agreement.

00:30:08.540 But you keep saying it anyway. Why is that? Because behind that slogan is a whole bunch of other stuff

00:30:13.960 that has nothing to do with Black people at all. And all I need to do is check out the Black Lives 1.00

00:30:18.740 Matter website, look at their professional beliefs, their agenda as they lay it out themselves to

00:30:24.680 confirm that this has nothing to do with Black people at all. And there are dozens of examples

00:30:29.180 of this. Pro-choice. Oh, you don't believe in choice, do you? No, I do. I think freedom of choice is good.

00:30:33.520 But I also think that killing innocent people is bad. And when you talk about choice, I know

00:30:39.380 that's what you actually mean. And so that's why I boo your pro-choice slogans, because I know that

00:30:45.220 they are really pro-murder. So going back to the racial unity bit, I believe in racial unity. I would 0.81

00:30:51.320 love to have racial unity. I would love to have all kinds of unity in this country. But is that really

00:30:55.620 what you want on the left? Is that what you mean when you talk about it? Do you mean that we will all

00:31:01.460 be unified on an equal playing field, and that we will live our lives and treat each other as human

00:31:06.120 beings without segregation, without any need for anyone to apologize for their race, or to profess

00:31:11.160 feelings of guilt, or to take a submissive or groveling stance? That the law will treat everyone

00:31:16.600 the same, and everybody's held to the same standard, and so on. Is that what you mean? It isn't, is it?

00:31:23.480 Well, then, you don't really want racial unity. You want something else. And it's that something

00:31:29.420 else that was booed, and deserves to be booed. Now, personally, the players locking arms and

00:31:37.320 standing there doesn't bother me any, doesn't offend me. If I was in the stands, I probably

00:31:41.300 wouldn't have booed it. And I can, as far as the NFL players themselves go, I could very well believe

00:31:47.060 that many of them, if not most of them, really had great intentions. And as far as they're concerned,

00:31:52.840 they really were standing for unity. It was kind of an empty gesture, but whatever.

00:31:55.540 Basically harmless. Yet, the fans in the stands, and so many other people, they are jaded and cynical

00:32:08.760 when it comes to these kinds of gestures and statements. And for highly justified reasons.

00:32:16.320 Because they see how, in our culture, the left takes these concepts and ideas that, by definition,

00:32:24.380 in reality are good, the left takes them, empties them out, turns them into euphemisms that stand

00:32:32.780 for things that have nothing really to do with those words at all. And that's what the booing was

00:32:37.600 about. So, and that's why if you're complaining about the booing, you're canceled. Okay. We'll leave

00:32:44.560 it there. That's it for today. Hope you have a great weekend. Pray for our country. God bless America.

00:32:50.580 Godspeed.
