The Matt Walsh Show - Ep. 568 - RBG Dies, The Left's Psychotic Breakdown Intensifies

00:00:00.000 Today on the Matt Wall Show, the left has its expected psychotic breakdown in response to

00:00:04.480 Ruth Bader Ginsburg's death. They're claiming that it would be an assault on the rule of law

00:00:08.740 and democracy for Republicans to confirm a replacement before the election.

00:00:12.820 That's completely absurd and laughable, and I'll explain why. Also, five headlines,

00:00:16.760 including the tragic suicide of a bar owner who was facing prison for defending himself

00:00:22.140 against a rioter who attacked him. Terrible story there. And in our daily cancellation,

00:00:26.240 I will cancel all airlines and airports after having to endure their completely

00:00:31.060 arbitrary COVID regulations last week. All of that coming up. But first, a couple of quick notes.

00:00:37.280 The show today brought to you by LifeLock. Listen, it's bad enough if you get hacked and your identity

00:00:43.440 is stolen, but then it's even worse because you'll feel dumb for not having taken precautions ahead of

00:00:48.340 time, especially when taking precautions is so easy with LifeLock. Identity theft has become a big-time

00:00:54.080 crime with criminal gangs operating units dedicated just to that. And certain behavior can make you

00:01:00.320 more vulnerable to identity theft, like not checking your credit card or bank statements,

00:01:04.700 using the same username and password on every account, never checking your credit report,

00:01:10.380 oversharing personal information on social media. It's important to understand how cybercrime

00:01:14.900 and identity theft are affecting our lives because they're affecting our lives in myriad ways.

00:01:19.920 Every day, we put our information at risk on the internet. And you could miss certain identity

00:01:24.280 threats by just monitoring your credit. Good thing there's LifeLock. LifeLock detects a wide range of

00:01:29.340 identity threats, like your social security number being for sale on the dark web, other things that

00:01:33.820 you wouldn't be able to detect yourself. If they detect your information, they're going to send you

00:01:38.260 an alert. And if there is a problem, you get your identity stolen, then LifeLock will be there to help

00:01:43.980 you with that too. And there are other basic precautions you can take, right? Like don't use the same

00:01:48.580 password for everything. It's not a good idea if all of your accounts can be accessed with like

00:01:53.440 password123 or something, though at least those passwords are easy to remember. But a good rule

00:01:58.420 of thumb, if your password is easy to remember, it's easy to hack. And even if it isn't easy to hack,

00:02:04.720 you still want LifeLock. Nobody can prevent all identity theft or monitor all transactions

00:02:09.060 at all businesses, but you can find out if your information is on the dark web. And you could do that

00:02:14.260 by getting your free dark web scan at LifeLock.com slash Walsh. You pick the plan that's right for

00:02:19.400 you. Save up to 25% off your first year with promo code Walsh. That's a free scan at LifeLock.com

00:02:26.900 slash Walsh and 25% off with promo code Walsh. All right. One other important point before we get

00:02:33.800 into the show, what I want you to do right after this show, not right now, but after the show,

00:02:38.640 is go to youtube.com slash Matt Walsh and subscribe to my personal channel. In a few days,

00:02:44.960 all of my shows and my other content will be on my channel. You won't get it here. You have to go

00:02:49.780 to youtube.com slash Matt Walsh. So please make sure to do that and subscribe. By the way, this

00:02:54.740 doesn't mean I'm leaving the Daily Wire. You won't get rid of me that easily. I'll still be here,

00:02:59.360 but my shows, all of the shows, all of the other hosts too, will be on the individual channels

00:03:04.240 of the hosts. So you have to go to youtube.com slash Matt Walsh. Okay. Now, if you avoid the

00:03:11.440 internet and news entirely on the weekend, which by the way, if you do, good for you, that's a very

00:03:16.600 psychologically healthy practice. If you're in that camp, then you may not have heard that Justice

00:03:20.780 Ruth Bader Ginsburg passed away at the age of 87. The rest of us, the rest of the country, I suppose,

00:03:26.880 is familiar with that information. Now, as everyone has had all of the expected reactions to this news

00:03:34.020 and so far it has played out exactly as you would anticipate, I have just a few things that I want

00:03:39.920 to say, a few interjections. First of all, and this shouldn't even need to be said, of course,

00:03:47.440 President Trump should and will nominate a replacement. And of course, Senate Republicans

00:03:52.780 should confirm that replacement. Whether they will is another question, but of course they should.

00:03:58.240 There is nothing outrageous or strange or even notable about doing that, except

00:04:03.920 in the sense that all Supreme Court nominations are notable. The fact that there's an election

00:04:07.620 coming up is irrelevant. There are always elections coming up. The idea that elected Republicans who

00:04:13.960 were elected precisely for this very reason, to confirm Trump's judicial picks, should just sit on

00:04:20.000 their hands for the sake of being good sports and not put another justice on the bench is absurd. 0.99

00:04:26.260 It is a position so dumb, so vapid, so utterly without substance that it wouldn't warrant a response if 0.99

00:04:33.760 not for the fact that so many people are saying it and so loudly. The left obviously is in the midst 1.00

00:04:38.680 of a psychotic meltdown. Well, another one or a continuation of the one they've already been

00:04:43.700 having for four years. And they're screaming that Republicans, you know, ramming through a justice at

00:04:49.080 this point would be an attack on the rule of law, on democracy, on norms. And worst of all, they say

00:04:55.900 it would violate the dying wish of Ruth Bader Ginsburg herself, who supposedly said that she,

00:05:02.680 before she died, that she wants the next president to replace her, not Trump. Just for fun, here is

00:05:07.940 Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez accusing Republicans of denying a dying woman's final wish. Listen.

00:05:14.520 I need you to be ready. I need you to be ready to be responsive. And by that, I mean, we don't quite

00:05:27.480 know what the next play is in terms of this issue on the Supreme Court, right? Mitch McConnell sent out

00:05:33.900 a statement tonight. And as I said at the opening, the very last dying wish of RBG was that her vacancy

00:05:48.140 not be filled until the new president takes office in January. That was her dying wish. Tonight, Mitch McConnell

00:05:57.580 publicly, the night that she, the night of her passing, he couldn't wait 24 hours, issued a statement

00:06:07.420 saying that he was going to give Trump a vote in violation of, of her dying wish. People can say how

00:06:16.780 appalling people could say this is horrible, etc. But we know who this man is. We know who this man is.

00:06:24.060 This is a man who does not care about a dying woman's final wish. Clearly.

00:06:31.900 Okay. Now we are a constitutional republic, not a monarchy. We don't bequeath seats according to the

00:06:40.220 final edicts of a dying woman. I'm sure Scalia wished before he died that the court would be majority

00:06:45.900 originalist and Roe would be overturned. Guess how much the left cares about Scalia's wishes, 0.84

00:06:50.780 dying or not? The dying wish thing is completely ridiculous and irrelevant. But the fact that the 0.99

00:06:56.620 left is using this just shows you they are out of intellectual ammo here. They have no real

00:07:02.860 arguments as to why Republicans shouldn't replace RBG. It's not, it's not a violation of the law.

00:07:07.500 Obviously the law of the constitution gives them the power to confirm or not confirm judicial

00:07:13.180 nominees. It is entirely in keeping with the law. It is not an assault on democracy. Again,

00:07:18.380 the people elected, the people elected these Republicans exactly for this moment.

00:07:24.780 This more than anything else, this right here, this is why these Republicans have the power they do

00:07:29.660 right now. To do this, to rise to this occasion. What about norms? Well, here is alleged conservative

00:07:37.500 Tom Nichols doing the very conservative thing of defending the far left position on MSNBC.

00:07:42.460 And he's explaining that confirming a replacement right now would fly in the face of tradition

00:07:48.220 and norms. Listen, it seems to me that, um, first of all, I just cannot imagine how most of these

00:07:55.660 Republican senators who have gone on the record years ago, uh, now wake up and look at themselves

00:08:02.300 in the mirror and, uh, are somehow comfortable with what they've become and the things they have to

00:08:09.180 say, which is, uh, purely the party of power, purely the whole Republican philosophy now is because we

00:08:17.100 can. Uh, and I think one of the things that I find so striking about this is that it says that

00:08:23.660 conservatives insofar as we can still call them conservatives have completely given up on any hope

00:08:30.300 that their ideas can never be sold to the public, that they can win, um, elections that they can

00:08:38.620 advance their cause. Uh, they've, they have become the far left liberals of an earlier generation saying,

00:08:45.900 uh, nobody wants what we're selling. So we're going to go to the courts and we don't care how we get to

00:08:50.940 the courts. I mean, it is really, it is really amazing to see people of the right who wants, um, you know,

00:08:56.860 when Joe and I were Republicans, this was always a big thing to criticize the left for saying,

00:09:01.420 you know, you guys are always going to the courts to get things that you can't get at the ballot box

00:09:05.420 because you don't really believe in yourselves. And, and conservatives have become that movement

00:09:10.380 now to say, as long as we control the courts, we don't care if you like us. We don't care about the

00:09:15.180 institutions of the Senate. We don't care about norms. I mean, most of these senators have said over and

00:09:20.700 over again, constitutionally, we are allowed to do this. And that's absolutely right. But the fact,

00:09:25.180 the matter is that our, our system operates much more on norms and traditions than it does on written

00:09:31.740 law. Right. They're going to do it because they can. Well, yes, Tom, that's how this works. They can

00:09:38.220 and they should. But what about this norm thing? Is it an attack on norms for Republicans to move

00:09:44.460 forward with a confirmation right now? Three answers to that. Number one, no, it isn't.

00:09:51.180 Senators confirming the Supreme Court pick of the president who is in their same party

00:09:56.620 is the most normal thing in the world. What about 2016? In 2016, the Republican Senate refused to

00:10:02.860 even hold hearings for Merrick Garland, Obama's pick. Did they establish some new norm? Did it begin

00:10:09.020 a new tradition that they're now beholden to? No. Let me try to put this very simply for those who don't

00:10:14.220 understand. The reason Republicans wouldn't hold hearings for Garland is that they didn't want

00:10:20.540 Garland on the Supreme Court. They will hold them now, hopefully, because they do want Trump's pick

00:10:26.700 on the court. This is how it works. It's legal. It's normal. It's operating within the system,

00:10:32.940 according to how the system was set up. Now, yes, some Republicans in 2016 claimed that they weren't

00:10:38.220 holding hearings because they wanted to respect the wishes of the voters in the upcoming election,

00:10:43.820 and yada, yada, yada. That was a dumb, politically correct talking point. Politicians tend to use 0.98

00:10:49.180 those kinds of talking points. The reality is they just didn't want Garland on the court,

00:10:53.580 and for good reason. There's nothing sinister about that. It's called using the power you have. It's

00:10:59.260 called playing the cards in your hand. They did it then. They should do it again now. That's what they

00:11:05.020 were elected to do. Number two, also about norms. The liberals screaming about norms and traditions 0.51

00:11:11.180 are hypocrites. They are the hypocrites. These are the people who tried to block a Republican pick 1.00

00:11:16.460 by accusing him of being a serial gang rapist, and now they want to talk about norms? These are the 0.92

00:11:21.980 people who want to get rid of the police departments. They want to abolish the electoral

00:11:25.180 college. They tear down centuries-old statues. They want to blow Mount Rushmore to pieces. These are the

00:11:31.100 people who support rioting and looting as a political tactic. These are the people who think it's okay to

00:11:36.460 put a four-year-old boy in a dress and pretend he's a girl, and now they want to talk about norms and

00:11:41.020 traditions? Give me a break. I mean, get the hell out of here. It's a farce. It's a joke. Three, my last

00:11:47.420 point about norms. Who cares? Even if this was an attack on norms, which it isn't, but if it was, who cares?

00:11:57.180 What do I care? What do I care about Senate norms? Why would anyone care about that? We're way past

00:12:01.900 that now. We are past norms. We're past civility. Civility is dead. The left killed it. They stuff

00:12:07.420 civility in a sack. They beat it unconscious and toss it into the sea. If you're still trying

00:12:11.500 to preserve civility or be a good sport, you're a fool. You're worse than a fool. You're a willing 1.00

00:12:16.300 pawn. You're a dupe. You're a patsy. You're a moron. And the same goes for any conservative who argues 1.00

00:12:21.660 that the Republicans should tread lightly because if they don't, Democrats, when they get into

00:12:26.060 power, we'll do such and such terrible thing in retribution. Yes, of course they will. But

00:12:31.340 that's going to happen no matter what. They've already been cheering on the destruction of our

00:12:35.660 cities. They're encouraging riots. They're stirring a race war. They're trying to keep our economy

00:12:40.140 shut down. They'll do anything at all, anything, legal or illegal, to seize power and advance their

00:12:46.300 agenda. The only question is whether conservatives will finally wake up to the reality of our culture

00:12:51.100 war and respond accordingly. Let's not lose sight of something here. Why is the left panicking over

00:12:57.500 Ginsburg? What is this really about at bottom? They are worried that another conservative justice

00:13:04.060 might mean Roe gets overturned and then their ability to kill babies will be impeded. 1.00

00:13:10.300 This is about killing babies. This is about their infanticidal lust. In case you're wondering if there's a 1.00

00:13:17.260 clear good guy, bad guy, divide in our culture, well, here it is. One side is threatening to burn

00:13:22.540 everything down in order to protect its right to murder a million babies a year. It is not an

00:13:27.260 exaggeration to say millions of lives hang in the balance right now. Millions of lives. Republicans

00:13:33.180 have to do everything in their power, everything in their power to protect and preserve lives. Any cost

00:13:39.420 is acceptable. No threat from the other side should prevent them. Let them weep and wail and gnash their teeth. 0.82

00:13:46.380 They're going to do what they're going to do. So be it. Now is the time though for the good guys to

00:13:53.100 do the right thing. And any Republican who refuses should be run out of town in disgrace. There is no

00:13:59.820 room for cowardice or weak spines right now. Let's get to our five headlines.

00:14:07.180 Time is money, as they say. And you got to make sure you're spending your time wisely,

00:14:19.660 just like you should spend your money wisely. And if you want to spend time and money wisely,

00:14:23.500 go to rockauto.com. You don't want to go to sit in a waiting room in a mechanic or go to the auto

00:14:28.620 parts store. Rockauto.com is so much easier than walking into a store, somebody demanding quick

00:14:34.220 answers to questions. They don't have what you need. You got to go online anyway.

00:14:37.740 Rockauto.com always offers the lowest prices possible rather than changing prices based on

00:14:41.980 what the markets will bear. And here's the question that comes down to why spend up to

00:14:46.860 twice as much for the same parts? I don't see any good reason to do that. Rockauto.com is a family

00:14:51.580 business. They've been serving auto parts customers online for 20 years. Go to rockauto.com,

00:14:57.100 shop for auto and body parts from hundreds of manufacturers. Best of all,

00:15:00.220 prices at rockauto.com are reliably low and they got a great selection. So you're going to pay twice

00:15:05.420 as much for the same parts or worse of all, they're not going to have the part you need.

00:15:11.340 So why do that? You're paying twice as much for a worse selection. The rockauto.com catalog is unique,

00:15:17.580 easy to navigate. Quickly find all the parts you're looking for for your vehicle and choose the brands,

00:15:23.260 the specifications, the prices you prefer. Amazing selection, reliably low prices, all the parts

00:15:33.980 see all the parts available for your car, truck, write Walsh in their how did you hear about us box

00:15:38.700 so they know that we sent you. All right. By the way, I don't know if you can see it on camera,

00:15:43.500 but I do have a bruised lip right here. Maybe it probably doesn't come through, but

00:15:47.900 so I don't have to admit to this, but I am admitting that yesterday I got my ass kicked by 0.99

00:15:54.780 my 11 month old daughter. She's not even one, she's not even one yet. And she just kicked my ass 1.00

00:16:01.580 in church of all places. I was holding her and she was thrashing around, head butted me right in the 1.00

00:16:07.260 lip. I'm bleeding profusely in church. And the moral of the story is it was the one time in the last six

00:16:14.700 months that the one single time that I was happy about the mask thing. Cause I could just put the

00:16:20.300 mask on and nobody could see my shame. I could hide my shame, but then there's like bloods bleeding

00:16:25.740 through the mask and that had to look a little disturbing. Um, all right, let's get to, uh,

00:16:30.460 to our news headlines. Number one, as you can imagine, speaking of disturbing, a number of videos

00:16:36.140 have been posted this weekend of liberals, liberal women specifically having nervous breakdowns about, 0.75

00:16:41.260 um, RBG's death and we're not going to play them all, but I think this one right here that we'll

00:16:45.820 play, this is a good representation of all the rest of them. So watch this.

00:16:50.780 Holy **** you guys. I'm driving your car, but I just got a notification that Ruth Bader Ginsburg died. 0.96

00:16:59.020 Just think about the narcissism that's required to pull out your phone

00:17:18.860 and take a video of yourself having a panic attack because there has to be some measure of pre-planning

00:17:24.940 here, right? It's not, it's not like this is, um, candidly recorded footage of, no, this, this is,

00:17:30.940 this is, this is not spontaneous. So this lady was saying to herself, hmm, you know, I think I'm,

00:17:36.860 I think I'm about to have a psychotic episode. Let me, uh, let me just pull out the old camera and

00:17:41.180 then get this documented. And then, and then she needed to actually post it, right? I don't,

00:17:45.740 this isn't a live stream is they don't do live streams on, on the old, uh, tick tock, do they?

00:17:50.540 I don't, I don't know. But, uh, so probably she recorded this and then watched it back

00:17:58.620 and thought, wow, this is my best tantrum yet. This is great content. And then she posted it

00:18:03.100 online for everyone to see. So, um, that's one sort of a genre of reaction to the, uh, the news of

00:18:11.020 Ruth Bader Ginsburg's death. Another genre, this is one of my, one of my, one of the most common

00:18:15.980 genres on Twitter in general, uh, whenever there's a major news event. And I love these.

00:18:21.100 This is the thing where somebody posts a little anecdote about how their young child allegedly

00:18:26.700 reacted to the news. Um, so once again, one example will, will suffice. This is from a woman named

00:18:32.540 Alexandra, Alexandra Lee Capps. And she says, uh, just told my 10 year old daughter about RBG.

00:18:40.860 She had tears in her eyes and then she did the Wakanda pose and said, Ruth Conda forever,

00:18:47.180 which is the sort of pop culture crossover that I can celebrate. Okay. First of all, um,

00:18:53.900 that didn't happen. Um, none of that happened. I don't even think she has a 10 year old daughter.

00:18:59.660 I think the 10 year old daughter is made up too. Um, I can tell you, I told my seven year old daughter

00:19:05.180 that Ruth Bader Ginsburg had died and she looked at me blankly and then went back to her coloring book.

00:19:11.580 That's a more realistic story. Of course, in reality, I didn't tell my seven year old

00:19:15.580 because she has no idea who Ruth Bader Ginsburg is or what the Supreme Court is because she's seven.

00:19:21.500 And I'm quite happy to keep it that way personally. Um, all right, let's go on to,

00:19:27.900 to number two here. Terrible story. Uh, a man named Jake Gardner committed suicide this week and

00:19:33.820 Gardner was a bar owner, a combat veteran in Omaha, Nebraska. During the riots in May, he,

00:19:39.740 he went to his bar to defend his bar against the rioters because he didn't want them to burn it down.

00:19:45.580 And when he showed up, he was attacked by one of the writers named James Scurlock. He shot Scurlock,

00:19:51.580 killed him. This is a pretty clear case of self-defense and there is video of the shooting. You can,

00:19:57.660 you can, well, you could sort of see what happens. Let's play that.

00:20:00.460 But this got a gun, bro. But I got a gun. It's not worth it.

00:20:14.700 Okay. Self-defense. Scurlock had him in a chokehold. And, um, and again, the only reason that he was

00:20:20.380 there, the Gardner was there was to defend his business, which he has every right to do.

00:20:24.540 Now, now what you hear on the left is basically if you're a business owner and rioters want to burn

00:20:31.420 it down or loot the store, then your responsibility is just to let them do it. Because if you show up

00:20:37.180 to stop them and to protect your livelihood, then you all of a sudden are the bad guy. That's,

00:20:41.500 that's what you hear on the left. But that of course is insane. Now the DA, Donald Klein,

00:20:46.300 initially said that this was, this was self-defense and he wasn't going to press charges.

00:20:50.780 But then after pressure from protesters in the media, um, an outs, an outside review was ordered.

00:20:59.420 Special prosecutor comes in. Next thing you know, Gardner is charged with multiple felonies and

00:21:04.860 faces decades in prison on Friday. An arrest warrant was issued for him. And then, uh, a day or two later,

00:21:11.100 uh, he, he killed himself. Now they'll call this death a suicide, but it was really a murder.

00:21:17.020 This was a man who was facing the total destruction of his life, years in prison,

00:21:22.860 slandered as a racist and a murderer. I mean, imagine, you know, think about this for a second.

00:21:28.220 Think about going to prison for let's say 20 years. Um, and I think he faced more than that,

00:21:35.100 a lot more than that, but let's say, you know, imagine facing 20 years in prison

00:21:40.460 as a racist killer. That's how you've been labeled. It's not true, but you've been labeled that way.

00:21:45.820 And now they're going to send you into a prison for 20 years. Um, imagine that the hell that that

00:21:51.100 would be, especially, especially as an innocent man. So it's not surprising that a person would

00:21:56.780 contemplate escaping it through, through the most drastic, uh, means available. I wish he hadn't,

00:22:04.540 of course, but the point is that you cannot do this to a person and then react surprised when they

00:22:10.380 respond in this manner. The DA in this case is a gutless, disgraceful coward. 1.00

00:22:16.300 I hope he feels guilt ridden over it. He should be. I'm sure most of the leftist protesters don't 1.00

00:22:21.500 have any guilt. In fact, they've been celebrating it because they're soulless, but anyone with a soul

00:22:26.540 should feel outraged and, and, and, and, and also real sadness over this and also trepidation because,

00:22:33.020 you know, this could happen to anybody. If you find yourself confronted by a crazed mob

00:22:39.180 and, uh, you're, you're, you're going to face the same choice. Do I defend myself and then possibly

00:22:44.860 go to prison forever? Or do I not defend myself and possibly get beaten to death?

00:22:48.860 That's a real choice that more than one person has faced.

00:22:55.980 Um, number three, and the Emmys were last night. That's it. That's all I have on that. Nothing

00:23:03.100 more to say on that. Number four, uh, this is, this is interesting. We talked about the fact that

00:23:06.900 Black Lives Matter is a confessed Marxist organization with radical left-wing political views

00:23:11.980 and, uh, and, and, you know, ideological goals. And the really handy thing is that you could go,

00:23:17.520 uh, always just go to their website, to blacklivesmatter.com, to the what we believe

00:23:23.360 section, and then you could see what they believe. And so it was always a really easy thing when it,

00:23:27.900 whenever you heard that, oh, no, Black Lives Matter, they're just, they're, they're just about

00:23:31.660 racial and social justice. That's all they care about. You could always respond to that and say,

00:23:37.380 well, no, go, they have a website, go to it. And they'll tell you exactly what they believe

00:23:41.940 and just read it. And if you do that, you're going to see, they want to destroy the nuclear family.

00:23:45.880 Um, they want to get rid of heteronormative thinking. You know, they're focused on gay 0.98

00:23:51.180 rights and trans rights even more than they care about racial equality. In fact, they don't care 1.00

00:23:56.300 about racial equality at all, really. Um, so there's all kinds of stuff there. But then recently,

00:24:01.740 in the last day or two, the, um, Black Lives Matter organization, they made some changes to their

00:24:07.600 what we believe section. Let's see what it looks like now. Yep. It's all gone. They, they deleted the

00:24:15.180 whole thing. They got rid of it. And why did they do it? Well, I don't think it's a coincidence that

00:24:20.280 right before the election, they get rid of this. Um, but the really sad thing is that this, this will

00:24:25.680 work, won't it? Like they're just going to delete that and then claim that it was never there.

00:24:34.480 And so from now on, when you claim, for example, when you, when you go out and say, well, Black Lives

00:24:39.360 Matter wants to destroy the nuclear family, they're going to say, what are you talking about? 0.93

00:24:44.340 That's crazy. It's a conspiracy. What is that? A QAnon conspiracy theory, you kook. That's crazy. 1.00

00:24:49.420 Come on. Even though it was on their website, right? And it will work. It will work.

00:24:58.800 Um, number five, speaking of BLM and happened again, a BLM activist in Indiana is the latest

00:25:04.240 white woman to admit that she was pretending to be black. So the New York post has the story. It

00:25:09.520 says another black activist has admitted to being a white person. Satchel Cole. Hold on a second.

00:25:16.740 Satchel. What kind of name is that? Satchel. Satchel Cole, a community organizer for Black Lives

00:25:25.000 Matter in Indiana, fessed up to the years long ruse in a Facebook post last week and vowed to quote,

00:25:30.660 seek help. Cole said, uh, friends, I need to take accountability for my actions and the harm that

00:25:36.680 I have done. My deception and lies have hurt those I care about most. I've taken up space as a black 0.99

00:25:43.060 person while knowing I am white. I have used blackness when it was not mine to use. I have 0.61

00:25:48.780 asked for support and energy as a black person. I have caused harm to the city friends for the work 0.99

00:25:53.920 that I have held so dear. I am sorry for the harm I have caused. I'm sorry for the hurt and the

00:25:59.020 betrayal. I will do what I can to show that I want to be a better person. Um, and, uh, this

00:26:05.500 may a couple comes after an expose published by black indie live, which ran yearbook photos of Cole's

00:26:10.380 white parents and produced documents showing that Cole once listed her race as white. Uh, the outlet

00:26:16.040 also revealed Cole's birth name, Jennifer Benton. Okay. So Satchel Cole was a made up name who could

00:26:22.260 guest and, um, and so on and so forth that goes on from there. So, and you can see the picture. I

00:26:29.000 mean, this is a white, you could, this is a white, this is a white woman with a made up, made up name. 1.00

00:26:33.400 I mean, anyone can see that. And yet somehow she got away with this for years. Um, and it, it brings us

00:26:40.440 back to the question, why do white people pretend to be black? This keeps happening. Like every two weeks 0.96

00:26:45.500 now, there's another case of it. Um, and those are just the confirmed cases. We can assume there are a lot

00:26:50.720 of other, uh, you know, supposed black people out there who are actually white. It turns out. Um, 0.81

00:26:56.700 it was, we only find out about the ones who admit to it or, or are exposed. Now, why does this happen?

00:27:04.980 Because of the social advantage it affords them. That's why a white person would pretend to be

00:27:09.340 black is because of the social advantage. And they, they even admit that in so many words when they're 1.00

00:27:14.140 exposed. Um, and in other words, systemic racism is a ridiculous fable that that's what we learned 0.94

00:27:22.160 from this, you know, uh, in fact, it's strange when you think about it because in our country, 0.94

00:27:27.520 white people pretend to be black, um, men pretend to be women, straight people make up all kinds of

00:27:35.980 different labels so they can count themselves as LGBT. And, uh, and yet we're told black people, 0.96

00:27:43.900 women, and LGBT people are oppressed, but these are the groups that outsiders are desperate to be a

00:27:50.140 part of. That's not the way it works when you really have an oppressed group. If a group is really

00:27:57.580 being oppressed in society, you wouldn't have non-members doing everything they can to pretend to be

00:28:05.180 members. That's a very clear and basic, uh, conclusion we could draw from that. All right,

00:28:10.640 let's get to our daily cancellation today. We're going to cancel airlines. So if you're on a plane

00:28:15.820 right now, as you listen to this, I'm sorry for the inconvenience, but your plane is canceled mid

00:28:21.640 flight. The reason is the whole series of arbitrary and unnecessary precautions they've,

00:28:27.400 they've taken because of COVID, which I got a good taste of last week flying across the country to

00:28:31.480 it from. Um, it starts really in the airport. So the airports are also canceled. So is TSA for many

00:28:36.840 reasons, not just this one, but now, you know, you go up to TSA now, at least at LAX and Baltimore.

00:28:43.200 Uh, I don't know about the other airports, but, and they don't check your ticket. This is part of

00:28:47.220 the COVID safety plan. They look at your ID, but they don't, they don't look at your ticket. Now,

00:28:51.320 how does not scanning the ticket protect from COVID? Who knows? Well, I do know it doesn't.

00:28:58.020 The whole reason they did check our ticket at security is for safety. Allegedly, it was needed

00:29:02.560 to stop terrorists from getting on the planes because terrorists, I guess, wouldn't know how

00:29:06.880 to book an airline ticket, even though the airline, the 9-11 terrorists were all ticketed passengers.

00:29:11.560 But anyway, um, well, are we thinking that the terrorists are going to take a break now because

00:29:15.960 of COVID or was the ticketing, the ticket checking step never necessary to begin with? If it wasn't,

00:29:21.980 why did they ever do it? If it was necessary, why aren't they doing it now? These questions can't be

00:29:26.780 answered. Speaking of unanswerable questions, as you walk through the airport, um, whole sections

00:29:32.820 are taped off randomly. Why? Because of COVID, you can't sit here in these chairs, but you can sit

00:29:39.560 over there in those chairs. It's not like this is going to help people space out the opposite. In 1.00

00:29:45.060 fact, now people are, now you're just condensing people even more. Um, so why can't you sit in,

00:29:50.200 in, in these chairs, but you can sit in those chairs? Is there some sort of force field around

00:29:54.720 the acceptable chairs? Has a gypsy cast a magical spell on those chairs protecting the sitter from 1.00

00:30:00.660 COVID? Do gypsies even cast magical spells? Or am I thinking of wizards? Again, nobody can answer 1.00

00:30:06.080 these questions. Then as you get, as you board the plane, you get yelled at if you're two bunched

00:30:11.740 together. You know, you have to maintain your social distance as you board the plane. Yes, the,

00:30:16.540 the group of 75 people about to enter a narrow metal tube and spend the next six hours sitting next to

00:30:22.520 each other while breathing recycled air must make sure not to come within six feet of each other

00:30:27.420 prior to that experience. Why? Then you're on the plane. Um, the flight attendant, whose full-time

00:30:33.280 job now is just to tell you to keep your mask on, informs you that there will be no beverage service.

00:30:38.960 Well, they could serve water, but not alcohol. And this is terrible for me because I had a coupon

00:30:43.500 for a free alcoholic beverage. Uh, that isn't the point though. Well, that's kind of the point, but,

00:30:47.620 but also why would serving beer present greater risk of viral transmission than serving water?

00:30:53.920 I mean, you're walking through the plane with a, with a tray of plastic cups filled with water

00:30:58.220 as everybody's breath germs settle on top of the water, like, like muck on a pond. A beer would be

00:31:05.320 in a can. Wouldn't an alcoholic beverage in a closed container be safer, if anything, than a cup of

00:31:10.800 water? If anything, shouldn't they only be serving beer and whiskey? In fact, shouldn't they require

00:31:16.060 that we drink it? I'm not sure why they would require it, but that would be fun. Also, um, I

00:31:21.940 should note that, that some people apparently think that the fact that everybody's wearing a mask on the

00:31:26.000 plane is an invitation for them to discharge their intestinal fumes at will. Somebody on my plane,

00:31:32.020 I can say, was farting with reckless abandon. My mask stood no chance against this. Somebody else was

00:31:41.400 eating some sort of garlic dish. Okay. Farts and garlic. It was like being in the worst scented candle

00:31:46.980 shop in existence. And I haven't even told you about the guy next to me who lifted his mask up to

00:31:52.860 cough. Okay. Every time he coughed, he would lift, lift his mask up and then cough into the, into the

00:31:58.040 wide open air. A real concept problem here. Okay. I started to wonder if our plane crashed, would this

00:32:03.040 guy take his seatbelt off right before impact? Like if masks serve any function, then it's definitely

00:32:09.240 most valuable and necessary precisely when you cough. Other people, uh, were doing the opposite

00:32:15.640 though, refusing to take the mask off for any reason. People were eating with the mask on because

00:32:21.000 they did give us little snacks. You can't have beer, but you have snacks. They were feeding themselves by

00:32:24.980 lifting the mask and inserting the cracker underneath the mask. It was like I was at an asylum watching

00:32:29.540 Hannibal Lecter at feeding time. And I should mention that except for the one guy already noted,

00:32:34.640 everybody else kept their masks on over their nose for the whole flight. Baltimore and California,

00:32:39.240 and then the flight back as well. I was the only one that I saw that I kept taking my mask off

00:32:44.040 every chance I got. I got yelled at by the flight attendant like three times. Um, everybody else

00:32:48.840 for like for five hours, five, six hours, they just kept the thing on. No fidgeting, no apparent

00:32:53.920 discomfort, total obedience. Everybody off flight with the thing over their nose the entire time.

00:32:59.700 I felt like I was seeing the end result of some sort of insidious social experiment, which I was.

00:33:04.900 But as far as the precautions go, all of it is arbitrary. And that's the case everywhere,

00:33:11.200 not just on flights. Why do so many places have 10 p.m. curfews now? You know, like bars and

00:33:16.300 restaurants aren't open past 10 in a lot of places because of COVID. Does the virus transmit more

00:33:20.580 easily at night? Are there COVID zombies that come out in the dark like an I Am Legend?

00:33:24.520 No, but all of this is similar really to the lap bars on roller coaster rides. Is that little bar

00:33:30.300 across your lap going to going to keep you in place when the roller coaster is zipping around? No,

00:33:34.200 inertia does that. But the lap bar just makes you feel better. It's for show, essentially. That's

00:33:38.940 actually what everything at TSA is always about, even before COVID. I mean, one guy tried to sneak

00:33:43.860 onto a flight with a bomb in his shoe, and now billions of travelers have to take off their shoes

00:33:47.860 when they go through security forever. With that kind of logic, they shouldn't be flying planes at all.

00:33:53.100 One crash should have been enough to shut the whole thing down. But the logic isn't logic. It's

00:33:57.680 pageantry. It's theater. It's designed to make you feel better and also to control you. 0.98

00:34:04.560 And personally, I'm tired of it. I'm sick of it. I'm done with it. I hate it. Being on a plane is

00:34:10.200 miserable enough. And now with the mask, it's even worse. So cancellations all around to everybody

00:34:15.200 involved. And even when this is all over, still, just cancellations to everybody. Just purely out

00:34:25.520 of frustration on my part. And we'll leave it there for today. Remember, this show will soon
