The Matt Walsh Show - Ep. 626 - Systemic Racism Against White People

00:00:00.000 Today on the Matt Wall Show, some states are reportedly considering a race-based distribution strategy for the vaccine.

00:00:06.460 Is this another example of anti-white systemic racism?

00:00:10.100 Also, five headlines including, the deadliest epidemic to hit San Francisco this year is not COVID.

00:00:15.620 We'll talk about that. Plus, SNL actors sing and dance together on stage without a mask.

00:00:20.540 Yet, you still can't walk through the grocery store without a mask.

00:00:24.180 What's the science behind that?

00:00:25.580 And finally, a very somber and personal daily cancellation today and much more on the Matt Wall Show.

00:00:38.500 I think one thing this year has us all thinking about is the need to be prepared for whatever life might throw at us,

00:00:45.160 whatever emergencies might befall us, and that's where ReadyWise comes in.

00:02:12.380 You know, the term systemic racism is, like so many other terms in modern society, used often and loudly and aggressively, despite having no clear meaning.

00:02:22.360 NAACP President Derek Johnson, as quoted in a USA Today article a couple months ago, has defined systemic racism as systems and structures that have procedures or processes that disadvantage African Americans.

00:02:35.660 And if that doesn't clear things up very much, then Glenn Harris, president of a group called Race Forward, has said that systemic racism is the complex interaction of culture, policy, and institutions that hold in place the outcomes we see in our lives.

00:02:50.520 Nearly every definition you find online is like this, vague and circular.

00:02:55.020 You know, how do we know that there's systemic racism?

00:02:57.400 Because of the outcomes we see.

00:02:59.440 Why do we see those outcomes?

00:03:01.020 Because of systemic racism.

00:03:02.340 It should perhaps tell you something, that the clearest, though still pretty vague and silly definition for the term that I could track down when I was looking it up, was on the Ben & Jerry's website.

00:03:13.480 The ice cream brand says that systemic racism is racism that infects every structure of our society.

00:03:20.680 Now, I call that the clearest only because it's clearer than systems and structures that have procedures or processes.

00:03:26.040 But it's still completely obscure and, by design, unfalsifiable.

00:03:30.600 Racism is being located in abstract and unseen places, in structures and institutions.

00:03:36.600 The proponents of this theory of systemic racism can't prove that the racism is there, nor can they often point to explicit examples of it.

00:03:44.660 But you can't prove that it's not there.

00:03:47.320 You know, you could provide a lot of very good evidence that the racism isn't there.

00:03:50.400 You know, you could point out, for example, that a black suspect isn't much more likely to be shot during the course of an arrest than a white suspect.

00:03:57.000 And that, in fact, more unarmed white people are shot by cops than unarmed black people.

00:04:00.380 You can, as I have done, go through all of the shootings of unarmed black people in a given year and discover that even in many of those cases, the unarmed suspect was not really unarmed at all,

00:04:09.420 but was in the process of trying to kill police officers or members of the public with a vehicle or was, you know, trying to steal an officer's gun or something.

00:04:16.080 You could show that the statistics do not line up with any claim of systemic racism in law enforcement when you look at them in proper context, but that doesn't matter.

00:04:25.860 It will simply be asserted that the racism is there somewhere in the institution, in the system, in the complex interactions, whatever the hell that means.

00:04:35.600 If you don't see it, it's because you don't have enough faith or because you're racist.

00:04:40.460 And that's really what it comes down to. That's the game. If you deny systemic racism, it's because you're racist.

00:04:46.860 You know, you can't deny it without proving it.

00:04:49.340 If you think I'm joking, the website diverseeducation.com, in a recent article, makes it plain, says, quote,

00:04:55.540 The act of denying racism is inherently racist.

00:04:59.680 The denial is the action that continues to normalize mistreatment and further divides the nation.

00:05:05.020 This is sort of reminiscent of the old test to find out if somebody's a witch.

00:05:11.360 You know, drown them in the river. If they survive, it's because they're a witch. 1.00

00:05:15.480 If they die, well, one less witch to worry about in the world. 0.99

00:05:20.040 Now, if I could, I'd like to inject perhaps a little bit of light and clarity into this fog.

00:05:23.740 It seems to me that systemic racism, if it means anything, must mean this.

00:05:29.540 Here's how I would define it.

00:05:30.580 Systemic racism is an explicit mechanism put in place to purposefully provide advantages to one race at the expense of another.

00:05:41.720 Now, I put the qualifiers explicit and purposeful because it's not enough to simply point out that one race is thriving more in a particular system than another.

00:05:50.140 Just because one is thriving more doesn't mean the system was designed for that purpose.

00:05:53.620 If I beat you in a foot race, that doesn't automatically mean that the race was rigged in my favor.

00:05:59.680 But if I beat you in a race where the rule states explicitly that I get to start 50 yards ahead of you, then sure, that would seem to have a lot to do with the outcome.

00:06:09.480 So in order to find systemic racism, we must find a system where it's stated explicitly that certain selected races get an advantage while others don't.

00:06:19.880 Some examples of this kind of systemic racism, that is the real kind, the provable kind, spring immediately to mind.

00:06:25.760 The problem for the left is that they're all examples where the racism goes the other way.

00:06:30.720 Affirmative action, prime example.

00:06:33.100 Here we have a system where the whole point laid out explicitly is to provide advantages to certain races at the expense of others.

00:06:41.480 A white student who doesn't get into a school because his place is given to a minority student with a worse academic record is a victim of systemic racism.

00:06:49.280 Last week on the show, we talked about another more recent, even more dystopian example of systemic racism, but it was at the time theoretical.

00:06:57.500 There were a number of public health experts, as documented in the New York Times, we went over this on Friday, according, who are advocating that the COVID vaccine be distributed according to race,

00:07:06.920 with priority given to groups that are more heavily non-white, as one health and experts, rather health and ethics expert.

00:07:15.980 So he's an expert of health and ethics.

00:07:17.660 As he put it, it's important to level the playing field by putting elderly white people behind racial minorities in line, 0.97

00:07:26.280 even though the elderly of any race are far more susceptible to the virus than younger people of any race.

00:07:31.540 That was the proposal. That was the idea.

00:07:33.300 Now we find out that, reportedly, it's actually happening, in reality.

00:07:38.380 The Daily Mail has the report.

00:07:40.460 This is from yesterday.

00:07:41.500 They say, quote,

00:07:42.140 Every U.S. state has been advised to consider ethnic minorities as a critical and vulnerable group

00:07:47.200 in their vaccine distribution plans, according to the Centers for Disease Control guidance.

00:07:52.020 As a result, half of the nation's states have outlined plans that now prioritize Black, Hispanic, and Indigenous residents

00:07:58.080 over white people in some way, as the vaccine rollout begins.

00:08:01.860 According to our analysis, this is the Daily Mail again,

00:08:04.880 25 states have committed to a focus on racial and ethnic communities as they decide which group should be prioritized

00:08:11.360 in receiving coronavirus vaccine doses.

00:08:13.980 Now, just to be clear about it,

00:08:15.880 the critical and vulnerable groups when it comes to the coronavirus are the elderly,

00:08:21.500 the obese,

00:08:22.880 those with pre-existing conditions.

00:08:24.400 Those are the critical groups.

00:08:25.480 And the groups that have suffered the vast majority of COVID casualties.

00:08:29.440 A young, healthy Black man is by no means in any way at greater risk than an 85-year-old in a nursing home,

00:08:36.520 no matter that 85-year-old's race.

00:08:38.840 That's the reality, of course, but we're not dealing in reality here.

00:08:43.220 More from the Daily Mail says,

00:08:44.160 Maine in particular has developed a racial-slash-ethnic-minority COVID-19 vaccination plan 0.92

00:09:11.260 in an attempt to give a preference to groups that have experienced rates of disease

00:09:15.420 that far exceed their representation in the population as a whole.

00:09:19.620 Now, all in all, the mail says,

00:09:21.020 California, Hawaii, Idaho, Indiana, Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, Louisiana, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts,

00:09:27.220 Michigan, Minnesota, Montana, Nevada, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, Oklahoma, Oregon,

00:09:32.640 Pennsylvania, Utah, Washington, and Wyoming

00:09:35.040 all reference Black, Hispanic, and Indigenous residents as a priority in their COVID vaccine plans.

00:09:42.520 It sounds to me here like we have a system giving advantages to some race over another,

00:09:51.200 or at least that's the intention.

00:09:53.220 Now, whether there actually is any advantage in being the first to get this brand new vaccine

00:09:58.780 is another question altogether.

00:10:00.780 Personally, you know, I wouldn't want to be first in line or second in line or even a millionth in line.

00:10:05.760 I don't plan on being in line at all because I don't plan on taking the vaccine regardless

00:10:09.580 as a young and healthy person.

00:10:13.100 That's my own choice.

00:10:15.420 Sort of like going back to the affirmative action example,

00:10:18.660 you know, I would be putting last in line for college admissions,

00:10:21.480 but I also happen to have no interest in going to college,

00:10:24.500 and I'm quite happy that I don't have the debt to pay off.

00:10:27.400 That doesn't change what the system is trying to do,

00:10:29.660 and it certainly is not trying to help me as a white male.

00:10:33.920 That's because the system is racist in these cases.

00:10:38.100 Against me, not for me.

00:10:41.140 Now, I'll be told that this is a good kind of racism.

00:10:43.800 It's a just kind, a justified kind.

00:10:46.500 And I'm a deserving recipient of it.

00:10:49.480 But that, of course, is what the racists always say.

00:10:54.300 You know, it's always a struggle for guys when you start losing your hair,

00:10:57.240 and it happens to almost everyone at some point as men.

00:11:00.000 It's one of the burdens we carry, I think, of many, might I add.

00:11:05.420 But here's the thing.

00:11:06.280 It is a tough thing to deal with, but here's the great part of it.

00:11:10.780 You don't have to just accept it anymore.

00:11:13.660 You've heard us talking about HIMS and how they're helping guys look their best.

00:11:16.560 If you haven't yet, it's time to see what they're all about.

00:11:19.300 About 66% of men start to lose their hair by age 35.

00:12:43.580 Now let's get to our five headlines.

00:12:51.460 So, really fascinating and horrifying but important report here.

00:12:57.520 This is from the Daily Wire.

00:12:58.600 It says,

00:12:58.800 The number of San Francisco residents who have died from drug overdoses during the past year far exceeds the number who have died from COVID-19.

00:13:06.920 A record high number of 621 people have died from overdoses in 2020 compared to the 173 who have died from COVID-19, according to statistics from the Associated Press.

00:13:17.760 Only 173 people, apparently, have died in San Francisco from COVID.

00:13:21.980 In 2019, 441 people died from drug overdoses in the city, which gives 2020 the grim distinction of having experienced a staggering increase of more than 40%.

00:13:32.260 The overdose statistics of 2019 were a 70% increase from those in 2018.

00:13:38.280 So, the numbers keep going up and up, and yeah, we know that the drug abuse epidemic in cities like San Francisco didn't start during COVID.

00:13:50.460 We know that it's been on this trajectory all the while, but when you have a city or a society that struggles with these things, and then you say, okay, you got to stay locked in your room for a year, locked in your house.

00:14:02.340 Because this is what happens, you know, when you put, when we have decided that the number one priority is just to make sure that people continue existing.

00:14:15.380 Quality of life doesn't matter, none of that matters.

00:14:19.040 How much joy you get out of life, that doesn't matter.

00:14:23.040 Having a sense of purpose, that doesn't matter.

00:14:25.640 Just, we're going to continue existing.

00:14:29.420 And this is what happens.

00:14:30.400 I just read, there was another fascinating thread on Twitter that I just read a moment ago before going on the air.

00:14:38.000 A guy, single guy, talking about the struggles of being a single person during all of this, which is something, you know, that's another aspect that those of us who aren't single maybe haven't thought much about, but maybe listening to this, you're in the same boat.

00:14:51.360 Or if you're a single person, you know, you don't have a family, and let's say especially your friends and extended family are, you know, sort of more on the paranoid end of the spectrum when it comes to COVID.

00:15:04.480 And so you're not seeing them much.

00:15:06.280 And so what are you doing?

00:15:07.280 You're not seeing anybody.

00:15:08.020 Maybe you're working from home.

00:15:09.560 You're not seeing your family, not seeing your friends.

00:15:10.960 And in terms of romantically trying to find a partner, that becomes very difficult to do.

00:15:18.260 So it's just total isolation.

00:15:20.920 Not talking to anybody, not being around anybody.

00:15:24.580 We know that, you know, the liquor stores have done very well because people are spending their time drinking.

00:15:30.100 And in some cases, they're developing hard drug habits at the same time.

00:15:36.380 This is what we get.

00:15:37.940 But this is all being done, right? 0.98

00:15:39.640 Remember, if you criticize the lockdowns, it's because you're some sort of sociopath.

00:15:44.960 I would say it's much more the other way around. 0.83

00:15:49.180 All right.

00:15:49.580 Number two, Dr. Fauci was on CNN this weekend taking the important questions.

00:15:55.500 And it's really good to see him focused on issues like this, I think.

00:16:00.940 Here he is on CNN.

00:16:02.960 Listen.

00:16:03.640 And Elmo is back for something else that I think is on a lot of kids' minds.

00:16:09.040 Elmo's friend has a question about Santa Claus.

00:16:12.660 How did Santa get the vaccine?

00:16:15.960 And is it safe for him to go in the house?

00:16:18.380 How can Santa Claus safely give out presents with COVID-19 spreading everywhere?

00:16:28.660 How can he do it?

00:16:29.780 Will Santa still be able to visit me in coronavirus this season?

00:16:36.040 What if he can't go to anyone's house or near his reindeer?

00:16:40.700 Well, I have to say I took care of that for you because I was worried that you'd all be upset.

00:16:49.300 So what I did a little while ago, I took a trip up there to the North Pole.

00:16:53.780 I went there and I vaccinated Santa Claus myself.

00:16:57.700 I measured his level of immunity and he is good to go.

00:17:02.260 He can come down the chimney.

00:17:04.280 He can leave the presents.

00:17:05.980 He can leave.

00:17:06.960 And you have nothing to worry about.

00:17:08.760 Now, Santa Claus is good to go.

00:17:12.280 You know, you could say that this is maybe the most credible thing.

00:17:17.520 The most credible claim we've heard from Fauci is maybe that, that he vaccinated Santa Claus.

00:17:23.600 It's just as credible as much of what else we've heard from him.

00:17:26.500 Although, I will say, you know, maybe you don't want your kids to listen to that clip because Santa Claus is supposed to be magical.

00:17:34.240 He shouldn't need a vaccine.

00:17:35.880 Should he?

00:17:36.400 On a more serious note, a woman in Florida, I believe, was at a she was she was at a library, I think, when somebody called 911 because she wasn't wearing a mask called 911.

00:17:50.200 And here's how that interaction happened.

00:17:52.660 Okay, I think it's time for you to wrap up and leave for today.

00:17:56.160 I think coming back another day may be your best option because today is not good.

00:18:00.420 Why?

00:18:01.060 Because you've clearly caused a disturbance and there's an issue.

00:18:04.140 No, they just called because I wouldn't put a mask on.

00:18:06.660 I wasn't causing any disturbance.

00:18:08.180 I wasn't raising my voice.

00:18:09.420 I wasn't yelling at anybody.

00:18:11.000 That's fine.

00:18:11.460 I wasn't.

00:18:12.760 Okay.

00:18:13.620 Today.

00:18:14.040 I'm not trying to.

00:18:14.680 Okay, get your books.

00:18:15.800 You can check out your books and you can leave.

00:18:18.020 Okay.

00:18:23.380 I'm not breaking any laws.

00:18:25.220 You're about to be if you do not leave.

00:18:28.060 What law would I be breaking?

00:18:29.140 Because you're causing a disturbance.

00:18:30.700 I'm not.

00:18:31.400 In a public place.

00:18:33.060 I'm not causing a disturbance.

00:18:34.740 Okay.

00:18:35.140 I'm not going to sit here and argue with you.

00:18:38.220 What is your name?

00:18:39.420 I'll give you my name.

00:18:40.340 I'll give you a card.

00:18:41.660 You need to get your son and check out your books and you can come back another day.

00:18:44.860 This is not a good example.

00:18:46.540 Listen, how is this going to be documented?

00:18:49.040 Because I was not causing a disturbance.

00:18:50.900 There's going to be a report done, ma'am.

00:18:52.860 There's going to be a report and you can get a report number and you can take it to your attorney.

00:18:55.940 But I was not causing a disturbance.

00:18:56.640 Please get your stuff.

00:18:57.700 Please get your stuff before you get trespassed.

00:19:00.480 Did you hear there was someone in the background?

00:19:02.400 It's a bad example for your child.

00:19:04.120 You're setting a bad example.

00:19:05.520 No, I would say if you're calling the police on someone because they're not wearing a mask and you're scared, you're scared, you're the one setting a bad example. 0.98

00:19:15.260 You absolutely, imagine what kind of coward you have to be.

00:19:18.380 There's a woman sitting at the library and you're so afraid. 0.99

00:19:21.840 You're huddled behind a desk calling, someone get over here quick.

00:19:24.640 Get here. 0.99

00:19:25.820 She's going to kill us all. 1.00

00:19:27.920 Just get, just stay away from her if you're afraid. 0.91

00:19:30.880 Is it that hard to do?

00:19:31.700 I mean, that library didn't seem that crowded to me.

00:19:35.340 So if she's sitting on a table at the library, there's nobody around.

00:19:39.920 If you're afraid, just avoid her.

00:19:42.620 No problem.

00:19:44.200 I mean, do you think if you're a hundred feet away in another, you know, in the nonfiction section while she's over there in the children's section, what do you think the virus is going to travel all that way and infect you? 0.98

00:19:54.420 Absolutely pathetic. 0.70

00:19:57.920 Of all the villains that have come to the surface during this entire crisis, crisis brought on, you know, self-made in many ways. 0.97

00:20:11.800 Of all the villains, I have to put number one, even above the petty tyrants in government, number one are just the American citizens who are calling the police on their own, on their, on their fellow citizens, on business owners or just moms at the library, not wearing a mask.

00:20:30.020 Those to me are, those are bad guys.

00:20:32.480 That's bad guy number one right there.

00:20:34.380 Someone doing that.

00:20:36.680 All right.

00:20:37.160 Number three, SNL.

00:20:38.400 Speaking of masks, SNL had its holiday episode this weekend.

00:20:43.940 Kristen Wiig was hosting and her, her opening bit was about as funny as anything else.

00:20:49.000 SNL has produced in the past decade, which is to say it was not funny at all, but the lack of humor isn't really the thing I'm focusing on here.

00:20:56.160 Let's just watch a quick clip of this.

00:20:59.060 These are the actual real words.

00:21:01.060 Okay.

00:21:03.260 Cream collared ponies and crisp apple strudels, doorbells and sleigh bells and schnitzel with noodles.

00:21:10.220 I'm sorry.

00:21:10.860 I'm sorry.

00:21:11.220 You, you, you have a beautiful singing voice, but those, those words were crazy.

00:21:16.580 That's not, that's not, that's not cool what you just did.

00:21:19.340 No, it's not okay.

00:21:21.100 No, I'm cream colored ponies.

00:21:22.820 I'm just going to say it.

00:21:23.840 That sounds racist.

00:21:24.780 Yes.

00:21:25.280 And I don't know if I'm allowed to agree with you, but I do.

00:21:27.540 Yeah, you do.

00:21:28.180 Yes.

00:21:28.500 Cause it's racist.

00:21:29.260 Yes.

00:21:31.880 I just, I'm blown away by how unfunny this is.

00:21:35.140 I mean, there's good professional writers at SNL and this is what they come up with.

00:21:40.320 What, what even is, so the joke is just, that was a whole joke.

00:21:43.140 That was a whole bit, by the way.

00:21:44.080 This goes on for like 75 minutes.

00:21:46.540 It feels like, and the whole bit is just, they take turns singing the song the wrong

00:21:50.540 way.

00:21:51.540 This is what you come up with professional comedy writers.

00:21:55.100 Hey, you know, it'd be funny.

00:21:56.620 Let's have them all come up there and, uh, you know, that, that, that, that song, they

00:22:00.260 should sing it the wrong way.

00:22:01.380 That'd be funny.

00:22:03.480 That's what they come up with.

00:22:04.820 But on top of that, let's putting that to the side.

00:22:07.020 Uh, we're used to SNL being aggressively unfunny all the time.

00:22:10.920 None of them wearing masks.

00:22:13.460 They're closer than six feet next to each other.

00:22:17.620 They're singing, you know, projecting their spittle forward and no mask.

00:22:23.460 And to make it even more absurd.

00:22:26.280 So if you, if you, if you notice there, you've got the three women who are singing, no mask.

00:22:30.860 And then you've got, you got the, the, the band in the background and most of them aren't

00:22:35.240 wearing masks, except there's one, there's one woman.

00:22:37.540 I don't know what she's, what, what instrument she's playing, but she's all the way in the

00:22:39.920 back and she is wearing a mask. 1.00

00:22:41.560 What's the point of that?

00:22:42.920 What's the point of having a whole stage of people, people singing, you know, playing the

00:22:46.700 saxophone and, uh, no one's wearing a mask.

00:22:48.780 And then you've got one person wearing randomly wearing a mask.

00:22:51.500 What, what good does that do at that point?

00:22:53.820 Uh, we all know it's for show, of course, but I'm just wondering what's the science behind

00:22:57.060 this.

00:22:57.280 So if I, well, forget about me, let's the woman we just played, she was at the library.

00:23:01.980 So she's at the library sitting, you know, many feet away from the next person on her

00:23:06.880 own at her own table.

00:23:08.760 And, uh, and she's such a danger to the public. 1.00

00:23:10.840 She has to be escorted out of the library by the police.

00:23:14.180 And yet these women can be right next to each other, singing and everything and dancing 1.00

00:23:19.460 and no mask.

00:23:20.220 What, what's the science behind that?

00:23:21.860 What's the science that would explain how the woman at the library is a threat to the 0.97

00:23:26.400 public, but those people aren't.

00:23:28.980 Where's the science there?

00:23:30.740 Or if I'm just walking through the grocery store, not talking to anybody, I walk in, I

00:23:37.120 get my stuff, I leave, never talk to a single person, which is what I would do at the grocery

00:23:42.680 store, COVID or not as an antisocial person.

00:23:45.800 But, um, and yet I have to wear a mask, but they don't.

00:23:52.280 Well, the science is, of course, here's the science.

00:23:54.620 Um, they are better than me and you, or at least they think they are.

00:23:58.900 That's the science.

00:24:00.100 I think maybe we can all agree, but we can't agree on much in society anymore.

00:24:03.900 Maybe this is the only thing we can agree on.

00:24:06.440 Uh, no, acne is bad.

00:24:07.660 Nobody wants acne.

00:24:08.400 That's, uh, there are, there are very few pro acne people out there, uh, yet lots of

00:24:13.840 people get it.

00:24:14.460 And, uh, what are you going to do once you have it?

00:24:16.760 Well, proactive, that's what you're going to do.

00:24:18.240 Proactive combines gentle skincare paired with the best acne treatment for your skin.

00:24:22.680 Proactive has three different systems designed for your skin type.

00:24:26.040 No matter what type of breakout you're dealing with, proactive combines gentle skincare paired

00:24:29.920 with the best acne treatment for you.

00:24:31.480 So they basically got three systems, uh, to differentiate between, you know, skin type

00:24:37.700 and, and, and what sort of breakout you're dealing with.

00:24:39.540 They've got proactive MD advanced.

00:24:41.280 This is a prescription strength for stubborn breakouts.

00:24:43.600 They've got proactive plus gentle.

00:24:45.640 This is for the more gentle sort of skin types and then proactive solution original.

00:24:49.480 This is the original system and this is for all skin types and it's just kind of, uh,

00:24:54.900 it works for everybody with clinically proven ingredients and tested by dermatologists.

00:24:58.800 You're getting all of this, you're getting a simple three-step system designed for you

00:25:02.740 and you can, it's really simple.

00:25:05.300 You subscribe to consistently clear skin.

00:25:38.380 Um, let's see, this is from KTLA.com.

00:25:41.480 It says San Francisco public schools won't reopen for in-person learning in January because

00:25:46.240 of a breakdown in negotiations between the school district and teachers unions over coronavirus

00:25:50.520 safety.

00:25:52.080 Uh, the district said an online statement, the district cannot meet all of the new requirements

00:25:56.280 that the labor's labor unions have proposed.

00:25:59.080 And there is not sufficient time to complete bargaining in order to reopen any school sites

00:26:03.400 on January 25th.

00:26:04.620 So they're not going to reopen.

00:26:06.180 And remember, we just played, we just, uh, we just talked about a few minutes ago, San Francisco

00:26:11.520 and their COVID death numbers.

00:26:14.140 They've got more people dying of drug abuse than they do have COVID yet.

00:26:18.240 They're not going to reopen the schools.

00:26:20.300 So we're, we're ranking the villains from the COVID crisis.

00:26:23.540 And I just said, number one, right?

00:26:25.720 People calling the police and their fellow Americans. 0.53

00:26:27.680 Yeah, they are number one.

00:26:29.120 Um, teachers unions though, really, really competing for that top spot.

00:26:34.180 Talk about cowardice.

00:26:35.380 The cowardice that not all, but many teachers have displayed during all of this is, uh, really

00:26:42.000 pretty extraordinary.

00:26:43.520 Number five, huge controversy here.

00:26:45.760 The Lakers played their, um, final preseason game on Saturday and Anthony Davis was spotted

00:26:52.920 on the bench, clipping his toenails, um, right there in the arena.

00:26:57.200 You could see the picture of it during the game and he's just clipping his toenails in front

00:27:02.480 of everybody.

00:27:02.900 Now he's got a towel down, but this is a big controversy and it should be.

00:27:07.420 And this, you know, for me, I, this is why I've always said that all types of public grooming

00:27:11.960 should be banned.

00:27:14.820 Clipping toenails or fingernails. 0.97

00:27:16.500 That's just, you're, you're a, you're a psychopath if you're doing that, but any, anything 0.92

00:27:19.860 you see people cleaning their teeth. 0.84

00:27:23.060 I remember not long ago, I was out in public and I saw someone, I think it may be at a coffee

00:27:26.880 shop and I saw someone flossing, just sitting at a table, flossing.

00:27:29.580 You know, that Q-tip, anything involving Q-tips, all of that unconstitutional and, uh, should 0.99

00:27:39.160 be banned.

00:27:40.300 One of the most important things we have are our memories, you know, especially our memories,

00:27:44.780 our old family memories, the things we're nostalgic for.

00:27:47.440 Um, but the problem is maybe you have some of those memories stored on aging tapes, film

00:27:54.860 photos, that sort of thing.

00:27:56.940 And, uh, you know, those things are, you know, stuffed away in a box somewhere, they can easily

00:28:01.820 be damaged or destroyed.

00:28:03.560 That's why you need Legacy Box.

00:28:05.200 Legacy Box is an effortless way to have your aging tapes, films, and photos digitally preserved

00:28:09.340 on a modern format.

00:28:16.980 longer watch.

00:28:17.780 You know, maybe you don't, you just don't have the, you don't have that antiquated technology

00:28:20.480 anymore to watch it.

00:28:21.640 That's why you need Legacy Box.

00:30:09.280 We've got a new entertainment channel.

00:30:11.380 We're going to have a new investigative journalism team.

00:30:13.600 That and much more, but you've got to become a Daily Wire Insider or Above member for 20%

00:30:18.980 off with code WATCH over at DailyWire.com slash subscribe.

00:30:24.200 Let's get now to our daily cancellation.

00:30:29.900 Today for our daily cancellation, it brings me great pain to do this.

00:30:32.760 As a father, it's the last thing I ever want to do, but I'm afraid I must today cancel my

00:30:37.600 one-year-old daughter.

00:30:38.420 Um, I'd always imagine that her time, her first time to be canceled would come a little

00:30:43.360 bit later in life.

00:30:44.100 My oldest, the twins were canceled for their first time around the age of six.

00:30:47.760 So it's hard to look at your youngest child, your baby girl, and realize that she must

00:30:51.620 be canceled, especially at such a tender age, but it is, um, it's out of my hands.

00:30:56.500 Now, for some background, uh, my daughter, Emma, just very recently started walking and I

00:31:02.020 could almost cancel her just for that because children become much harder to deal with once

00:31:06.840 they have full use of their legs.

00:31:08.680 You know, you can, you can always tell the first time parents because they're the ones

00:31:12.060 trying to coax their kids to walk at like nine months and getting very excited about,

00:31:16.660 Oh, you got to walk more experienced veteran parents.

00:31:20.020 No, you know, we know what lies ahead once walking sets in.

00:31:23.640 So we encourage our kids to take their time.

00:31:25.300 We say, Hey, you don't want to start walking until 18 months or so.

00:31:27.500 No problem.

00:31:28.220 Just take it easy down there.

00:31:29.980 No pressure at all.

00:31:31.380 The problem is that once they start walking, you know, they can move around more and quicker

00:31:36.400 and they can reach things.

00:31:37.620 So last night, for example, my wife was out, I was making dinner and, um, Emma was just

00:31:42.600 walking around the living room, grabbing everything she could and tossing it on the floor.

00:31:47.820 She grabbed a desk lamp at one point and literally spiked it on the ground like a football and 1.00

00:31:53.520 then waddled over to the coffee table, chucked a cup full of soda halfway across the room.

00:31:57.800 And they know what they're doing too.

00:31:59.400 She took that cup in her hand, threw it and then looked at me like, yeah, do something about 1.00

00:32:04.040 it.

00:32:04.200 What are you going to do?

00:32:05.580 That's what I thought, punk.

00:32:07.700 This is what you have to look forward to when they walk.

00:32:10.280 That's why my favorite phase of childhood is, is when they're right between newborn infancy

00:32:15.300 and crawling.

00:32:16.620 If that's it, that's a sweet spot.

00:32:18.560 There's a span of several weeks when they can't move much, but we'll sort of flop and

00:32:23.560 scoot around on the ground, like a little walrus or maybe like, like a sea cucumber on the

00:32:28.100 ocean floor.

00:32:28.660 However, this is enough movement to keep them entertained so they aren't crying, but not

00:32:33.700 enough to make them any kind of a serious flight risk.

00:32:35.900 So you can set them down on the ground, sit on the couch with a beer and just watch them

00:32:40.840 roll around for 45 minutes without ever making it out of the room.

00:32:44.400 These are the moments to cherish.

00:32:46.300 You know, walking is massively overrated in my experience, but none of that is the reason

00:32:51.240 for my daughter's cancellation.

00:32:52.220 The reason can be seen in this incriminating video, which my wife took and posted online

00:32:57.520 for some reason.

00:32:58.200 We went to the botanical gardens here in the city.

00:33:01.880 You know, that must've been my idea to go spend our weekend there.

00:33:05.300 And, uh, and you know, we were walking around outside.

00:33:07.520 Little Emma was doing more walking than she had ever done before.

00:33:11.000 And, uh, this is a clip my wife took and posted somehow proudly.

00:33:15.000 There she is walking along the path, but look at that arrow on the sidewalk.

00:33:18.880 My daughter's walking in the wrong direction on the sidewalk. 1.00

00:33:24.520 They have arrows on the sidewalk at the botanical gardens outside telling us what direction we

00:33:29.560 can walk so as not to infect one another with the virus.

00:33:32.340 My daughter's going the wrong way, endangering millions of lives in the process.

00:33:37.320 I've never been so ashamed as a parent.

00:33:40.020 Now you might ask, why are they making their sidewalks into one way paths when they're clearly

00:33:46.080 wide enough for two people to pass?

00:33:47.620 Also, are you really more likely to give somebody the virus while walking past them in the opposite

00:33:52.300 direction than you are if you walk past them going the same direction?

00:33:55.700 In fact, you might ask, when you pass someone who's going the same direction, aren't you

00:33:59.780 likely to spend more time in their proximity than you are if you pass from opposite directions?

00:34:06.020 Because, you know, when you pass going the same way, there's always that awkward moment

00:34:08.260 where you're, where you're, where you're walking side by side and, you know, one of you

00:34:11.760 has to speed up the other one, slow down.

00:34:13.060 And besides, is there any reason to think that the virus is at all being transmitted between

00:34:18.620 people outside who merely pass by one another briefly?

00:34:23.240 And considering that everybody at the gardens was wearing a mask, everyone I mean except

00:34:27.580 for my family, shouldn't we be even less concerned about transmission if masks do in fact work?

00:34:34.360 These are all good questions, sort of like the questions you might ask about why you have

00:34:39.920 to remain socially distant while boarding a plane only to be seated in the same metal tube

00:34:44.820 with these people for six hours.

00:34:46.780 Many anti-COVID measures have been adopted both voluntarily and mandatorily, which appear

00:34:52.000 to have no reason or justification behind them.

00:34:54.720 That's all true.

00:34:55.500 But we're not supposed to be asking those questions.

00:35:00.340 Just do as you're told.

00:35:02.060 Wear the mask, follow the arrow, trust the protocols.

00:35:07.060 My daughter, in a brazen act of disregard for her fellow man, did not follow the arrows or 0.53

00:35:13.560 trust the protocols.

00:35:14.900 And many lives have no doubt been lost due to her recklessness.

00:35:19.260 And she's not even wearing a mask on top of it.

00:35:21.140 Like I said, none of us were, but she should really be setting an example.

00:35:27.100 Shameful.

00:35:28.440 Absolutely shameful.

00:35:29.340 So, she is canceled today, and hopefully she has learned her lesson from this experience.

00:35:35.340 Remember, follow the arrows on the sidewalk.

00:35:38.700 It will keep you alive.

00:35:40.560 And we'll leave it there for today.
