The Matt Walsh Show - Ep. 570 - Ban Critical Race Theory In Our Schools

00:00:00.000 Today on the Matt Wall Show, Donald Trump is on a righteous crusade against critical race theory.

00:00:04.780 Now, I think now is a time also to expand that mission into the schools where critical race

00:00:10.100 theory is the most dangerous. So we'll talk about that. Also, five headlines, including the media's

00:00:14.660 misinformation campaign about what overturning Roe v. Wade would actually mean. And in our daily

00:00:20.200 cancellation, I'm afraid that I have to cancel Amy Coney Barrett, and I'll explain why. A lot of

00:00:25.620 dirt has been dug up about this woman, and we're going to have to talk about that today. All of

00:00:29.720 that on the way. But first, seeing the check engine light turn on can give you anxiety. I just

00:00:34.480 recently had that happen to me. We were going on a long car ride, and right before we went on the

00:00:38.900 car ride, the light comes on. And it's this moment where you go, oh man, now what? But now that I

00:00:43.500 have CarShield, I don't worry about that stuff anymore. CarShield offers a wide variety of

00:00:48.580 protection plans that can save you thousands for a covered repair, which means that the check engine

00:00:54.880 light is a lot less scary when it comes on because you know you're covered. You have the freedom to

00:00:58.560 choose your favorite mechanic or dealership to do the work, and CarShield gets the rest taken care

00:01:02.640 of. Even if your car breaks down while you're traveling, the choice of a repair shop is still

00:01:07.880 up to you. On top of that, there's no long-term contract. There's no commitment. Payments are

00:01:11.940 flexible. CarShield plans are customizable to your exact needs. Personally, I used to dread car repairs.

00:01:18.420 I used to dread the light coming on. But with CarShield, I have peace of mind, and it's hard to put a

00:01:23.680 price on that. Get coverage today and see why CarShield cars go further. Call 800-665-2157 and

00:01:45.380 personal YouTube channel, that's youtube.com slash Matt Walsh, all of my shows will soon be

00:01:49.880 available exclusively on my personal channel. You can still listen, of course, on iTunes or many

00:01:54.220 other places. But if you want to watch on YouTube, you've got to go to my personal channel,

00:01:59.100 youtube.com slash Matt Walsh. All right. President Trump, in recent weeks, has been on a crusade against

00:02:06.100 critical race theory. I believe this is possibly the most important thing he's done with his 0.74

00:02:10.140 presidency, even if he hadn't taken any active steps against it, to simply shine light on it,

00:02:15.080 to make people aware of it, and to, as the leftist would say, problematize it, I guess is the phrase.

00:02:21.820 That is an enormous public service. But Trump has gone further than that. He's, and here's the

00:02:26.740 latest. He tweeted this last night. He said, a few weeks ago, I banned efforts to indoctrinate

00:02:30.900 government employees with divisive and harmful sex and race-based ideologies. Today, I've expanded

00:02:35.680 that ban to people and companies that do business with our country, the United States military,

00:02:39.760 government contractors, and grantees. Americans should be taught to take pride in our great country,

00:02:44.660 and if you don't, there's nothing in it for you. So that's a very good thing. Critical race theory

00:02:49.740 is a scourge. It is an ideological cancer. It has infected our societal bloodstream,

00:02:55.120 and the effects have been devastating. The racial strife in our country today, riots,

00:02:59.840 much of the violence. This can all be traced, at least in part, back to critical race theory.

00:03:04.940 Now, I think, before we go any beyond that, though, I think we probably first have to answer a basic

00:03:10.860 question, which is, what is critical race theory? And for that, so that you know I'm not giving you

00:03:16.460 a biased or cherry-picked definition, I will go to a liberal source. I'll go to the Boston Globe

00:03:22.180 article that was just written, which is meant to be a defense of critical race theory, henceforth

00:03:27.040 referred to as CRT, by the way, just for short. And also, dismantlingracism.org, which is an online

00:03:33.840 resource that's supposed to help you, well, dismantle racism, though, as we'll see,

00:03:38.720 probably constructing racism or spreading racism would be a better name for that website. 0.99

00:03:44.500 First, here's the Boston Globe article. It says, scholars say the president's remarks about CRT

00:03:49.220 prove he fundamentally misunderstands critical race theory and its aims.

00:03:53.860 I am a thousand percent sure that Trump does not know what critical race theory is. I have never

00:03:57.980 been more sure of anything in my life, said Kiara Bridges, professor at the University of California

00:04:02.720 Berkeley Law School and author of the textbook Critical Race Theory, A Primer.

00:04:07.200 She goes on, and he certainly doesn't understand the debates within and about critical race theory.

00:04:13.520 Scholarship on critical race theory emerged in the 1970s and 80s in response to what legal scholars

00:04:18.080 perceived to be the failures of traditional efforts, approaches to thinking about race and

00:04:22.660 civil rights, which tended to conceptualize racism very narrowly, according to Bridges,

00:04:27.640 as a problem of individual bad actors. The movement's architects, including the late Derek Bell,

00:04:32.200 the first tenured black professor at Harvard Law School, and Kimberley Crenshaw, a professor at the

00:04:37.860 UCLA School of Law in Columbia Law School, who first coined the term critical race theory,

00:04:42.200 says racism is not extraordinary. She continued, race and racism are basically baked into everything

00:04:48.960 we do in our society. It's embedded in our institutions. It's embedded in our minds, in our hearts.

00:04:54.980 Then it goes on, despite the progress and promises of the civil rights movement, critical race theorists

00:05:00.860 argue that racism infects all of our societal institutions, from public education to the

00:05:06.120 criminal justice system. What appears to be progress in the law is actually concealing a new modality of

00:05:12.520 structural, societal, systemic racism. That, according to Rajesh Sampath, an associate professor of

00:05:18.520 philosophy of justice, rights and social change at Brandeis University. Namely, our laws and

00:05:24.240 constitutions don't protect everyone equally, he said. Okay, so that's the Boston Globe.

00:05:31.840 Racism is embedded in everything we do. America is racist, down to its very core. American, well,

00:05:37.980 white Americans are racist in their hearts, in their minds. Everything is racist. Racism is everywhere. 1.00

00:05:44.320 And even when it looks like racism is being addressed by laws and policies, really those

00:05:51.600 laws, like constitutional provisions guaranteeing equal rights, for example, they are just creating,

00:05:56.200 quote, new modalities for racism. So then we go over to dismantlingracism.org, which says,

00:06:03.300 here's what it says, racism is ordinary, the normal way that society does business, the common everyday

00:06:10.440 experience of most people of color in this country. Racism serves the interests of both white people 0.85

00:06:15.920 in power, the elites materially, and working class white people physically. And therefore,

00:06:20.720 neither group has much incentive to fight it. Later on, it says, white supremacy is ever present

00:06:26.060 in our institutional and cultural assumptions that assign values, morality, goodness, and humanity to 0.63

00:06:30.640 the white group, while casting people of communities of color and communities of color as worthless, 0.84

00:06:36.120 immoral, bad and inhuman, and undeserving. And then it defines racism as racism equals race prejudice 0.97

00:06:46.100 and social and institutional power. Racism equals a white supremacy system. All right. So what does

00:06:53.100 all this mean? It means that everything is racist again. Racism is everywhere. America is a white

00:07:00.700 supremacist country. But also importantly, racism is a uniquely white phenomenon. Only white people can 0.99

00:07:07.440 be racist. Racism equals a white supremacy system. Now, there are a few problems here, of course. 0.98

00:07:15.440 First of all, you know, this obviously is nonsensical. It doesn't even take into account the existence of

00:07:21.120 the whole rest of the world. Even if I agreed that in this country, black people can't be racist

00:07:25.940 because whites against whites because whites have all the power, which I most emphatically 0.91

00:07:30.300 do not agree with that. But even if I did, what about, say, China or India? There's a lot of racism

00:07:37.000 in India. Racism between and towards non-white people. Racism directed from one non-white group 0.85

00:07:43.060 to another non-white group. What about, for example, a person in India who hates black Africans? 0.97

00:07:49.300 And that is not an unheard of phenomenon, I can tell you, to put it mildly. By this definition

00:07:55.280 of racism, that's not racist. This definition of racism has no way to account for that.

00:08:00.940 So you see here this weird dynamic where critical race theorists, while hating white people,

00:08:05.160 also in a strange way, put white people on a pedestal, or at least at the center stage of the

00:08:10.680 world play. When talking about things like racism or slavery, for that matter, they pretend that nobody

00:08:16.320 else exists and that everything revolves around white people. And so somehow white people are 0.55

00:08:20.800 responsible for things that have existed in human civilization literally since its inception. 0.95

00:08:25.980 Feminists do a very similar thing with men, by the way, hating men, but yet also centering their 1.00

00:08:31.080 whole lives and worldviews around men. So this is a common theme on the left. But okay, going along

00:08:37.580 with the CRT camp and pretending for a moment that India doesn't exist and China doesn't exist,

00:08:43.620 two countries that are rife with racism, but pretending they don't exist. What about here?

00:08:49.160 Is it true that in this country only whites can be racist because whites have all the institutional 0.77

00:08:53.400 power? No. That's a false conclusion built on a false premise. And it's so faulty and so stupid

00:09:00.260 that even if the false premise was true, the conclusion still would be false because it doesn't 1.00

00:09:05.440 follow from it. It's not true that whites have all the institutional power. That is observationally

00:09:10.020 false. You can look around for yourself and see that not all institutions are run by white people,

00:09:14.740 nor are all institutions dedicated to the advancement of white people. There are a lot 0.69

00:09:19.300 more white people in positions of power than black, yes, in terms of raw numbers, but that's because 1.00

00:09:24.040 there are a lot more white people, period. Black people are 13% of the population. A minority of the 0.66

00:09:29.820 population is also going to be a minority of most institutions at all levels. That's just a

00:09:34.800 mathematical inevitability. But even so, whites don't have all the institutional power. We did have 0.82

00:09:41.760 a black president, after all. And though the left scoffs at that response to the America is racist 0.52

00:09:47.060 charge, scoffing is not an argument. It is an absence of an argument. You can laugh and roll your

00:09:52.920 eyes all you want. The fact is that you cannot say black people don't have institutional power when the 0.93

00:09:57.980 most powerful man in the country for the eight of the last 12 years was a black man. That claim makes 0.99

00:10:02.880 no sense. It is incoherent. What about laws? Are laws constructed to advance white people? No. 0.97

00:10:11.140 In fact, the opposite. There are no laws, no laws, period, at all, that explicitly favor white people.

00:10:18.760 No laws in this country at all. There are laws that explicitly disfavor white people, affirmative action, 0.92

00:10:26.140 and related policies. Okay? You cannot provide an example of an affirmative action type thing

00:10:32.760 that explicitly favors whites because it doesn't exist. It does exist on the reverse. So all of 0.82

00:10:39.760 that is wrong. But the fact that facts don't support critical race theory and actually contradict it

00:10:44.980 every step of the way is irrelevant, of course. CRT is a religious system. It is a dogma. When you read

00:10:51.120 a supposedly scholarly explanation of CRT, what you're really reading is a catechism. The idea that racism

00:10:57.100 lies at the root of all things, invisible and undetected, and that racism itself is some sort

00:11:01.520 of strange and mysterious way, in some sort of strange and mysterious way, is a white invention 0.86

00:11:05.620 or a tool wielded by Western white civilization, even though racism existed in humanity before

00:11:10.780 Western white civilization even existed itself, and certainly before it had power like it does today. 0.93

00:11:16.100 These ideas cannot be factually proven or supported, and that's by design. They are statements of faith,

00:11:21.500 not fact. And those who teach CRT, or rather proselytize it, are not looking to convince you

00:11:26.760 on an intellectual level. They're looking for your spiritual and emotional assent. And if they

00:11:31.640 can't have that, then your cowed submission will have to do. And that is why Trump, you know, I think

00:11:37.740 should expand his war against this poisonous religious ideology beyond federal contractors and

00:11:42.880 into schools where it really starts and where it's the most dangerous. It should be banned from public

00:11:48.540 schools. It should be banned on the basis that it infringes on the First Amendment. If teachers

00:11:53.540 cannot get up in front of the class and insist that their students accept Jesus Christ as their Lord

00:11:58.140 and Savior, then they shouldn't be able to get up and insist that, you know, their students accept

00:12:02.620 critical race theory dogmas either. These are both religious doctrines. The fact that, in my view,

00:12:08.640 one is true and one is not is irrelevant. I don't want public schools demanding fealty to religious

00:12:15.180 dogmas, even Christian dogmas. So I think it should be banned from public schools, ban it from public 1.00

00:12:20.220 universities, impose financial penalties on any public education institution that promotes it.

00:12:25.940 Personally, I think teachers who use their power and influence to brainwash children into this horrid

00:12:30.300 superstition deserve to go to jail. But fines and defunding would suffice for now, I guess.

00:12:36.840 If people want to, you know, go out on their own and explore critical race theory

00:12:40.960 and pledge their devotion to its tenets, they're free to do that. But our public institutions should

00:12:47.140 not be in the business of promoting it. Which, by the way, the fact that our public institutions

00:12:52.800 do promote critical race theory is, ironically, proof in itself that critical race theory is false.

00:13:00.260 But I don't expect its proponents to connect those dots, because one thing we've learned about

00:13:04.000 critical race theory is that it certainly doesn't involve any critical thinking.

00:13:07.900 Let's get to our five headlines.

00:13:17.100 Listen, people get hacked on the internet all the time. It happens. It happens quite a lot,

00:13:20.720 as I'm sure you heard. And one of the worst things about that happening to you is that you're going

00:13:24.460 to feel dumb if it does happen, because you didn't take very basic precautions that you could have

00:13:28.720 taken. Identity theft has become a big-time crime with criminal gangs operating units dedicated just to

00:13:34.320 this. Certain behavior can make you more vulnerable to identity theft. Not checking your credit card or

00:13:40.080 your bank statements, okay? Like, a lot of people don't look at it, and that's going to leave you

00:13:44.800 vulnerable. Using the same username and password on every account. Never checking your credit report.

00:13:50.880 Oversharing personal information. I think we've all been guilty of at least some of this.

00:13:55.200 It's important to understand how cybercrime and identity theft are affecting our lives.

00:13:58.260 Because every day we put our information at risk on the internet, and you could miss certain identity

00:14:02.800 threats if you're just monitoring your credit. Or if you're not doing anything at all, then you're

00:14:07.680 certainly going to miss a lot. Good thing there's LifeLock. LifeLock detects a wide range of identity

00:14:12.160 threats, like your social security number being for sale on the dark web, many other things as well.

00:14:16.800 And if they detect your information is at risk, then they're going to send you an alert.

00:14:21.440 Um, and, and that's, that's going to be one of the, one of the most important things. Of course,

00:14:26.760 again, there are basic things we can do to take precautions, but you need to get LifeLock. Um,

00:14:32.060 it makes it really easy for you. No one can prevent all identity theft or monitor all transactions at

00:14:36.480 all businesses, but you can find out if your information is for sale on the dark web, get your

00:14:41.120 free dark web scan at LifeLock.com slash Walsh. Pick the plan that's right for you. Save 25% off, uh,

00:14:47.180 your first year with promo code Walsh. That's a free scan at LifeLock.com slash Walsh and 25% off

00:14:54.040 with promo code Walsh. All right, let's begin with this because we're going to see and hear a lot of

00:15:00.520 this in the coming weeks. Here is Alison Camerata on CNN talking about what, what she thinks will

00:15:08.040 happen if Roe v. Wade is overturned. Listen. I think one of the interesting discussions about abortion

00:15:13.280 is that the country is generally divided. I mean, almost split right in half about how they

00:15:18.500 view it. However, in the latest Gallup polls, 20% of the country, oh, I should say only 20% of the

00:15:26.600 country wants to outlaw it. Okay. So you can feel differently about the different nuances of it,

00:15:32.140 but only 20% wants to outlaw it. And that's ultimately, you know, obviously what would happen

00:15:37.180 if Roe v. Wade were done away with. And so it's just interesting. I mean, obviously we're,

00:15:42.280 we're segwaying into a political stance here, but if the country does, you know,

00:15:48.000 would support the direction that this is going in. Well, this is why, uh, when, uh, Republican

00:15:55.440 presidents nominate justices to the court, they, they try to pretend that it's some mystery what

00:16:02.320 their views are about Roe v. Wade because they know the country is against them on this issue.

00:16:06.960 Yeah. So Alison Camerata is either stupid or lying, uh, or she could be both. I don't mean to limit 1.00

00:16:12.100 her. Okay. I don't want to limit the possibilities here, but no overturning Roe would not mean that

00:16:17.640 abortion is outlawed. Okay. In fact, if Roe was overturned the next day, abortion is still going 0.97

00:16:25.060 to be legal everywhere. The laws are not directly affected at all by overturning Roe v. Wade.

00:16:32.540 No, what, what it would do is it would make it possible for individual States to pass laws

00:16:39.100 that would then restrict or possibly ban the practice. It enables them to do it. It doesn't

00:16:44.000 mean that it happens. Um, and some will do that. Some, some States will pass laws like that. Some

00:16:49.980 won't. Does Camerata think that California and New York are going to ban abortion because Roe is

00:16:55.800 gone? No. If anything, they're going to pass laws that just encourage it even more in retribution. 0.99

00:17:02.120 Um, only the very strongly and overwhelmingly conservative States will ban the practice.

00:17:08.280 I think what's going to happen. What's, what's going to, you know, you're going to have some,

00:17:10.940 you're going to have a few States that ban it out, right? A few States that, like I said,

00:17:13.860 go even further in the other direction. I think what's going to happen in the majority of States

00:17:17.360 is that you're going to find more restrictions and that's in line with what most Americans feel and

00:17:23.500 what their, what their opinion is of the practice. Now, of course, when it comes to something like

00:17:27.640 this, it doesn't matter how most Americans feel about it. This is, this is a basic human right

00:17:33.300 that's being infringed upon. You've got 60 million dead babies since Roe v. Wade. Um,

00:17:37.680 I don't care if every single American in the country loves it. Uh, it, it, it's still,

00:17:42.740 it still should be banned. And if we could ban it across the country, I would be in favor of doing

00:17:46.120 that. But that's just not the reality. That's not what we're talking about here. Um, you would need

00:17:53.060 something like a constitutional amendment, uh, protecting the personhood rights of, of unborn

00:17:59.580 children, which I would favor, but we're not anywhere close to that happening. Roe v. Wade simply

00:18:04.880 allows States to make choices. And that's if, if Americans can be made to understand this,

00:18:11.140 then I think the majority would be in favor of overturning Roe v. Wade, but keep this in mind. I

00:18:19.520 don't know what the polls say, but you're going to see a lot of polls. How do polls, how do, how do

00:18:23.500 Americans feel about overturning Roe v. Wade? Whenever you read those polls, keep in mind that

00:18:28.180 a large number of the people taking the poll don't actually know what overturning Roe v. Wade means.

00:18:34.160 And a lot of them are going to think that it means exactly what Alison Camerata says, because

00:18:39.780 that's what the media is telling them. Okay. Number two, uh, take a look at this. This happened at a car

00:18:44.460 dealership in the Bronx. So that's a gang fight that broke out at the car dealership.

00:18:49.520 But, uh, in, if you're, if you're listening to this on the audio podcast, it's at a car dealership,

00:18:56.060 bullets start flying. And at the bottom of the screen, there's a dad sitting on a couch,

00:19:02.120 I guess in the waiting room with, with looks like three or four kids. Um, and as soon as the bullets

00:19:07.640 start flying, he, he, he lays on top of the kids, shielding them from the bullets. Actually,

00:19:13.160 he took a bullet in the thigh. I believe he's going to be okay. His kids are okay. Uh, if he hadn't

00:19:17.760 been laying on top of them, who knows where that bullet will have, would have gone. But you see,

00:19:21.280 I think with this footage, you see sort of the, the heights and depths of masculinity. Um, the

00:19:26.800 contrast really it's real masculinity versus fake masculinity. And you, and you see both of those

00:19:32.620 things, um, illustrated in that video. And, you know, certainly in our culture, we could use,

00:19:40.900 we could use a lot more of, of the kind of masculinity that you saw, which is the real,

00:19:44.660 which is real authentic masculinity, the kind that you saw happening there playing out at the

00:19:48.340 bottom of the screen. That's what we could use a lot more of in this country. Number three,

00:19:51.680 the media today is very disturbed, very disturbed, very troubled, very, very troubled. Uh, so deeply

00:19:58.280 troubled because Trump made a joke at his rally last night about a reporter being thrown to the side

00:20:03.980 by cops. Let's listen to that. They grabbed him. They were grabbing him left and right.

00:20:09.560 Sometimes they grabbed, they grabbed one guy. I'm a reporter. I'm a reporter. Get out of here.

00:20:16.480 They threw him aside. Like he was a little bag of popcorn.

00:20:21.060 But no, but I mean, honestly, when you watch the crap that we've all had to take so long, 0.93

00:20:25.700 when you see that, it's actually, you don't want to do that. But when you see it, 0.85

00:20:29.260 it's actually a beautiful sight. It's a beautiful sight.

00:20:32.960 And they had the same thing on some other streets and the whole thing was gone. And I haven't heard

00:20:39.140 of any real problem in Minneapolis since that happened. I mean, they were just burning down

00:20:43.240 the city and that idiot was standing there. This is a friendly protest. And it's right. And behind 1.00

00:20:48.840 him was like 10 blocks of fire. Now I have to agree that is, that is extremely troubling. I think

00:20:56.920 I am also disturbed by that. I mean, Trump says they threw him aside like a bag of popcorn.

00:21:06.760 That is no way to treat a bag of popcorn. The fact that Trump thinks of popcorn as a thing that

00:21:16.080 you throw to the side. What kind of analogy is that? Throw to the side like a bag of pop? Who throws

00:21:20.980 their bag of popcorn to the side? So if I give you a bag of popcorn, you're just going to toss it to

00:21:25.180 the side. That's not, I mean, is that what he does at a movie theater? They hand him his large

00:21:28.920 popcorn. He just chucks it over like that. I think this statement from Trump reveals a really

00:21:35.040 problematic attitude about popcorn. And that is a national conversation that I think we need to

00:21:42.440 have. Number four, New York Post has this story. I think this has already been announced, but here it

00:21:47.280 is again. It says, actor Jim Caviezel, who played Jesus in 2004 as The Passion of the Christ, said

00:21:51.900 writer-director Mel Gibson has written a forthcoming sequel. Mel Gibson just sent me the third picture,

00:21:57.000 the third draft. It's coming. He told Breitbart it's called The Passion of the Christ Resurrection.

00:22:01.100 It's going to be the biggest film in world history. While Caviezel 51 may talk a big game,

00:22:05.460 the first film was No Slouch, made on the relatively modest budget of $30 million. It took in $622

00:22:12.680 million worldwide. Let's see. And then it says, so what the new film, the actor said, would depict

00:22:20.500 Jesus's biblical resurrection and the events that followed. Now, yes, first of all, biggest film in

00:22:27.980 the world, that's, I think that may, that could very well be the case. This movie is going to make

00:22:34.080 a gazillion dollars. Passion of the Christ made $622 million. And keep in mind that that's not even

00:22:39.460 adjusted for inflation, but also keep in mind that was a movie that was rated R, you know, not,

00:22:45.020 not, not really a kid-friendly, not, not a movie you're going to bring like your eight-year-old to,

00:22:48.820 right? Because it's, it's pretty gruesome. Now it is actually what happened to Christ. So I think

00:22:53.940 it's a great film, but not for very young kids. If we're talking, if we're, if we're doing Passion

00:22:58.520 of the Christ Resurrection, then probably it's going to be a little bit more family-friendly. It's not

00:23:02.360 going to be quite as gruesome, I would think. This is a Mel Gibson film, so you never know.

00:23:05.960 Um, and so if there's, if it's not rated R, so you're taking a, a Bible movie, not rated R made

00:23:14.360 by a, a mainstream and great film director in Mel Gibson. I think that's a, you know,

00:23:18.720 that's a billion dollar movie at least for sure. Um, my only question though, is how much,

00:23:24.040 so what I've read in the past is that this movie is going to be, it's going to tell the story of

00:23:28.800 Jesus, his resurrection up to the Ascension. And that's going to be the whole movie. Now,

00:23:34.120 if we were going into the book of Acts and we were, and Mel Gibson is showing us what's going

00:23:39.020 on with Peter and Paul, that would be obviously a great film. And I would love to watch that movie.

00:23:43.960 I'm just wondering if there's enough biblical material between resurrection and Ascension

00:23:48.100 to make a movie because the gospels cover that in like four sentences. So this, if that's,

00:23:53.460 if that's the timeframe we're covering, then Mel Gibson's going to have to freelance quite a bit

00:23:59.520 and add in a lot. Um, so that could get a little dicey, but, uh, I think it's, I think it's great.

00:24:07.040 And this is, you know, it just, it kind of shows you how much Hollywood hates Christians

00:24:12.440 that they're not making Bible movies, like five Bible movies a year, because these movies make a

00:24:19.420 ton of money. There's a huge audience for them, even when they're not good. Mel Gibson makes a great

00:24:25.160 one. Some of the Bible movies we get aren't even good. They still make a ton of money. There's a

00:24:30.580 huge hungry audience for this material. And yet for the most part, unless Mel Gibson comes along,

00:24:36.460 mainstream Hollywood is not making these movies, uh, with a few exceptions. Okay. Five. Finally,

00:24:42.160 rioting in Portland continued last night as always. Um, but then the Antifa writers took a break

00:24:48.960 from the rioting for a little musical interlude. Actually, they started moshing. At least that's

00:24:55.140 what this is supposedly is a video of, but you tell me, let's, let's, let's take a look.

00:25:08.580 I do not know this cultural tradition at all.

00:25:12.500 Okay. That is not a mosh pit. First of all, that's, that's more like a tickle fight,

00:25:26.060 a tickle pit, if you will. Tickle pits, by the way, would be a great name for maybe an indie band,

00:25:30.760 but that video really just underscores the important point that I always like to highlight,

00:25:36.140 which is that Antifa are domestic terrorists. Yes, but they're also enormous dorks. And let's 0.98

00:25:43.120 never lose sight of that. Never forget that. These are the saddest, flabbiest, scrawniest,

00:25:49.040 most awkward, weakest, most pathetic little punks you'll ever encounter in your life. But then when 1.00

00:25:54.640 a bunch of them have crowbars and, and bricks and stuff, yes, they're dangerous. Of course you could

00:26:00.400 give a, you could give a whole bunch of 12 year old cheerleaders, crowbars and bricks, 1.00

00:26:03.760 and they would be dangerous too. So you could give that to toddlers and they'd be dangerous

00:26:07.040 also. That's not really telling you anything about, about the toughness of the individual

00:26:11.580 people. Individually, they're, they're exactly what you saw right there. But a whole big group

00:26:18.100 of them, yeah, they are terrorists and they are dangerous. Okay. We're going to get to our daily 1.00

00:26:22.840 cancellation in just a second. But before we do, you know, I think a lot of, right now it's,

00:26:30.700 it's a challenging time for business owners when they're looking to hire. And this is something

00:26:36.660 that, that, that, that all business owners are thinking about now. You're looking to hire,

00:26:40.340 where do you go? How do you go through that? Monica Starks could relate. She needed to hire

00:26:44.640 for a pivotal role at her construction company, GS Group, but was having a tough time finding the

00:26:48.580 right person, especially with so many candidates out there. So she switched to ZipRecruiter. ZipRecruiter 0.99

00:27:20.000 profile to her around five minutes after she posted her job because he was a great match for the role.

00:27:24.040 And that is, that's something that you hear from people who use ZipRecruiter all the time is that

00:27:47.980 slash Walsh. W-A-L-S-H. ZipRecruiter.com slash Walsh. Let's get to our daily cancellation.

00:27:54.580 Today for our daily cancellation, we're going to cancel Amy Coney Barrett. We are canceling her 0.99

00:27:59.940 based on the horrible dirt that Democrats have been able to dig up about her. I just can't in

00:28:04.760 good conscience support her after I've seen this. Now, it's of course widely anticipated that

00:28:10.100 Trump will select Barrett to take the Supreme Court seat that Republicans callously intend to fill,

00:28:15.460 even though Democrats have specifically said that they would prefer to do it.

00:28:19.420 It's also widely anticipated that the Dems will dig up many dark secrets about the judge

00:28:24.120 just in time for the confirmation hearings. It's hard to know what those secrets will be,

00:28:28.460 mainly because Chuck Schumer hasn't invented them yet. Perhaps it will be discovered that

00:28:32.600 she's an assassin for the mob or that she poaches the tusks of endangered elephants or that she's a 1.00

00:28:37.200 serial killer and neo-Nazi and reptilian shapeshifter who frequently double parks and never 0.99

00:28:43.420 tips the pizza delivery guy. After Brett Kavanaugh was exposed as the ringleader of a roving band of 0.97

00:28:49.140 teenage gang rapists, really anything is possible. So the full truth about Barrett will come out soon

00:28:54.860 enough. In the meantime, Democrats and their OPPO research team at the Washington Post have already

00:29:00.920 unearthed, I think, a significant amount of dirt. And this is but a foretaste of what is to come.

00:29:07.560 It's already enough to send shivers down the spine. As the media has only just begun to demonstrate,

00:29:14.460 Amy Coney Barrett is a dangerous woman. So let's go through. There are four things. Here are four

00:29:20.800 scandalous facts that have already been uncovered about Amy Coney Barrett. Number one, she's a Catholic. 1.00

00:29:27.960 Not just Catholic, but an extreme, controversial, worst of all, conservative Catholic.

00:29:33.900 She's the one to whom Senator Dianne Feinstein a few years ago famously charged,

00:29:39.460 the dogma lives loudly within you. Let's watch that again.

00:29:42.900 I think in your case, Professor, when you read your speeches, the conclusion one draws

00:29:55.360 is that the dogma lives loudly within you. And that's of concern when you come to big issues

00:30:08.160 that large numbers of people have fought for for years in this country.

00:30:14.360 Now, on top of that, a disturbing expose in The Washington Post showed that Barrett considers

00:30:18.400 her legal career and indeed her whole life to be, quote, but a means to an end.

00:30:22.920 And at the end is, quote, building the kingdom of God.

00:30:27.100 Now, one might protest that this is a standard view for any devoutly religious person.

00:30:31.860 Well, yes, and that is precisely the problem. Devout religious conviction is deeply troubling.

00:30:36.880 Unless, as with Joe Biden, it's the sort of devout religious conviction

00:30:39.960 that wouldn't be out of place at a Planned Parenthood fundraiser.

00:30:44.080 Number two, she is part of a charismatic Christian group that literally inspired The Handmaid's Tale.

00:30:49.820 As Newsweek brought to light this week, Barrett belongs to a group called People of Praise.

00:30:55.340 Now, this is an organization so backwards, so patriarchal, that it actually served as the basis

00:31:00.280 for Margaret Atwood's dystopian novel about a future where women are subjugated and enslaved by men.

00:31:06.860 This is stunning.

00:31:08.600 As a side note, it's also not at all true.

00:31:11.600 Newsweek later ran a correction admitting that, in fact, there was absolutely no connection

00:31:15.480 between People of Praise and The Handmaid's Tale, so it's entirely false, but that's irrelevant.

00:31:21.100 The fact is that Barrett's group could have inspired the book, so even if it didn't,

00:31:26.460 it still did, in a certain way, when you think about it.

00:31:29.960 Number three, she believes in due process for men.

00:31:35.080 Yeah.

00:31:35.840 Proving that the connection with The Handmaid's Tale is very real, even if it isn't at all.

00:31:39.680 Another reporter from The Washington Post reveals that Barrett wrote, quote, an influential decision

00:31:43.980 making it easier for students accused of sexual assault to challenge universities' handling

00:31:48.860 of their cases.

00:31:50.360 Now, this flies directly in the face of the sacred legal principle that a woman never lies

00:31:54.380 and should always be believed, unless she accuses a Democrat, in which case she's probably

00:31:59.020 a Russian spy.

00:32:00.500 Number four, she is anti-abortion.

00:32:03.060 Now, as yet another Washington Post article described it, her anti-abortion position is 0.98

00:32:08.180 perhaps the most problematic aspect of an already alarming record.

00:32:12.120 But I prefer the eloquent directness of Wandi Ortiz's Refinery29 article, which says that 0.97

00:32:18.140 Amy Coney Barrett, quote, hates your uterus. 1.00

00:32:21.740 Now, you might argue that Barrett's opposition to abortion stems from her scientifically provable

00:32:25.640 position that unborn humans are human and therefore dismembering them in the womb is no more

00:32:31.080 justifiable than dismembering them anywhere else.

00:32:33.680 But I think Ortiz's article gets closer to the heart of the matter.

00:32:36.420 Clearly, Barrett hates your internal organs and wants to enslave women because she's been

00:32:41.920 brainwashed by a radical religious cult that didn't inspire The Handmaid's Tale, but totally 0.98

00:32:46.820 could have.

00:32:48.580 These are just some of the ominous red flags.

00:32:52.540 And we haven't even talked about the fact that Barrett has, like, a lot of kids, which

00:32:56.200 is pretty weird, let's be honest.

00:32:58.040 One can only imagine what other skeletons may be stowed away in the closet.

00:33:04.640 Indeed, let's hope that Democrats are imagining some really scary ones as we speak.

00:33:10.000 But that's all icing on the cake.

00:33:13.380 We already know enough to know that this is a dangerous radical and she should be disqualified 1.00

00:33:19.640 from consideration.

00:33:20.580 And certainly, we know enough to cancel her.

00:33:28.180 But other than all that, I'm sure she's a fine person.

00:33:31.840 Now, we're going to, I guess that's it for the show, but I did want to mention one other

00:33:34.720 thing before we wrap up.
