The Matt Walsh Show - Ep. 630 - Justice Is Not Served

00:00:00.000 Today on the Matt Wall Show, the DA in Kenosha has announced that the officers involved in the

00:00:04.240 Jacob Blake shooting will not be charged with a crime. The left is outraged about this, of course,

00:00:08.260 but I think the real outrage is that Jacob Blake himself will also not be charged with a crime,

00:00:13.060 even though he committed many of them. We'll talk about that today. Also, five headlines,

00:00:16.320 including the runoff election in Georgia. Democrats now stand poised to take full control

00:00:21.560 of the government, but who is to blame for the massive Republican failure in the state? The blame

00:00:25.600 game. It's inevitable. We'll get into that today. And a new study suggests that maybe it turns out

00:00:31.740 men who identify as women still have an advantage over women in sports. That's what the study suggests

00:00:37.840 anyway. Shocking stuff. And in our daily cancellation, I will cancel three bands who have

00:00:43.120 declined their Grammy nominations saying they don't deserve the nominations because they're white. 0.99

00:00:47.940 White guilt is a mental illness, I believe, and I'll explain why. All that and more today on the Matt 0.99

00:00:53.320 Walsh show. So before we get going today, I want to tell you about our good friends over at Charity

00:01:04.560 Mobile. You know, I'm talking about Charity Mobile all the time, mainly because I think it's such a win.

00:01:09.420 It's the ultimate quintessential win-win situation when you can give business to a company that provides

00:01:15.820 valuable service, good service, and a company that supports your values at the same time, because

00:01:21.140 we know as conservatives that is not something we can take for granted these days, to say the least.

00:01:26.260 And there are many companies out there, many that we give our money to every single day,

00:01:29.760 that are working against us in the culture. But that's not the case with Charity Mobile.

00:01:35.820 Charity Mobile, the pro-life phone company for good reason. 5% of your monthly plan price with 1.00

00:01:40.180 Charity Mobile goes to the pro-life, pro-family charity of your choice. New activations and eligible

00:01:44.260 accounts get a free cell phone with free activation and free shipping. So that's just one of the perks you get.

00:01:49.240 Also, look, there's no contract. There's no termination fees. You also get a 30-day

00:01:53.640 guarantee. So there's no risk involved in trying out Charity Mobile. And I guarantee you, if you try

00:01:58.900 Charity Mobile, you're going to want to stick with them. They also got live customer service based in

00:02:02.640 the USA. So if you have a problem, you can always call them up. And I think the headline, though,

00:02:08.780 again, goes back to helping to build a culture of life in America while supporting a pro-life phone

00:02:13.640 company. You can turn everyday living into effortless giving for the charity of your choice. I have my

00:02:18.100 Charity Mobile phone right here. It's a service that I use. And the other thing is I've never had any

00:02:23.020 kinds of problems. I get great signal everywhere that I am, which is not which has not been my experience

00:02:28.100 historically with cell phones. But it is the case here. So call Charity Mobile at 1-877-474-3662.

00:02:34.560 That's 1-877-474-3662. Or chat with them online at charitymobile.com.

00:02:40.400 Well, big news out of Georgia. Big news happening in D.C. today. Big news everywhere,

00:02:44.440 it seems. We'll talk about all of that on the show today. But I want to start with events

00:02:47.660 out in Kenosha, Wisconsin. I lead the show with Kenosha for the simple reason that, in my view,

00:02:53.000 the truth matters. It really matters. Perhaps now more than ever. And yesterday, some important

00:02:58.500 truth was revealed, or maybe we should say confirmed, by the DA in Kenosha. Now, you may recall

00:03:04.920 weeks of rioting, how could you forget, in that city over the summer in response to the

00:03:09.480 police shooting of Jacob Blake? This was one of the major catalysts for rioting across the nation.

00:03:14.940 What kept it going all summer after the George Floyd shooting kicked things off?

00:03:18.960 Jacob Blake was memorialized, even though he's still alive, by the way, by the NBA, many other

00:03:24.240 professional sports teams, high-ranking Democrats, including Joe Biden, made pilgrimages to the city

00:03:31.780 to pay homage to Blake's family and Blake himself. And this was all done based on a narrative that formed

00:03:38.320 and cemented into the public consciousness within minutes of the original incident.

00:03:42.400 The narrative, if you remember, was this. Blake was driving along on the road one fine Sunday

00:03:49.160 with his kids in the car, you know, probably taking them to the park or to Chuck E. Cheese or something,

00:03:54.200 minding his own business when he saw two people fighting. And being such a good Samaritan,

00:04:00.260 Blake pulled over to break up the fight because he just cares so much about his community.

00:04:04.200 And soon the cops showed up, assaulted poor Mr. Blake, and as he tried to climb back into his

00:04:10.920 vehicle with his kids, they shot him in the back seven times while unarmed for no reason other than

00:04:16.640 their own bigoted bloodlust. That was the tale that was told based on a 30-second out-of-context video,

00:04:24.440 and it was enough to supposedly justify all of the rioting, looting, and murder that came after it.

00:04:29.800 But it was all a lie. Every part of it. Every part of it. Blake, in fact, was at the house because

00:04:36.780 he was harassing his ex-girlfriend, the same ex-girlfriend who had credibly accused Blake

00:04:40.580 of breaking into her house and raping her a few months prior. There was a felony warrant out for

00:04:45.600 Blake's arrest because of that. Blake was not unarmed. He actually had a knife. He assaulted the

00:04:50.680 cops, not the other way around. And the car he was trying to climb into was not his own. He was

00:04:55.420 attempting to steal it. So this was a wanted criminal, a violent felon, an accused rapist, 0.99

00:05:02.140 armed with a knife, resisting arrest, assaulting the cops, harassing his alleged rape victim, 0.97

00:05:07.400 and trying to steal her car with their children inside of it. That was enough already, you know,

00:05:12.640 and we knew all of that. It was already enough to know that the shooting was entirely justified.

00:05:17.820 And Blake, who is a scumbag of the highest order, brought everything on himself. 0.97

00:05:22.660 But yesterday, finally, this reality was confirmed by the Kenosha DA, Michael Gravely, 0.95

00:05:28.960 who announced that there would be no charges filed against the officers in the case.

00:05:32.960 It shouldn't have taken this long to make this announcement. It was, as I said, obvious to any

00:05:37.040 rational person within the first day that the officers did nothing wrong. Nonetheless, the right

00:05:43.020 decision is being made, at least the right decision with respect to the officers. There is a miscarriage

00:05:48.440 of justice here, an outrage worth talking about, but we'll get to that in a second.

00:05:52.660 First, in explaining why the officers won't be charged with a crime, the DA emphasized that Blake

00:05:59.900 was not unarmed. He was armed. He had a knife. Listen to this.

00:06:05.240 Jacob Blake, while actively resisting, arms himself with a knife. I continue to hear,

00:06:11.960 I think I heard at the rally last night, the vigil, where someone again said he was unarmed.

00:06:18.220 It is absolutely incontrovertible that Jacob Blake was armed with a knife during this encounter.

00:06:26.820 Uncontrovertible. Most uncontrovertible because Jacob Blake, in all of the times he spoke to DCI,

00:06:33.880 admits he possessed a knife.

00:06:35.740 Of course, as he alludes to there, the fact that Blake was armed and can be seen armed on video,

00:06:42.360 and you can hear people shouting, drop the knife, and even admits he was armed, doesn't matter.

00:06:48.880 It doesn't matter to the media. It doesn't matter to the activists. The Washington Post,

00:06:52.460 after this press conference, published an article, this was yesterday, still claiming that Blake was

00:06:57.980 shot while unarmed. And why not? You know, they know that their readership doesn't care at all about

00:07:03.360 the truth. They know that those who buy into the conspiracy theory that racist cops are executing

00:07:08.700 black people are immune to facts. And that's why this next part of the press conference also made 1.00

00:07:14.820 no difference to them, but I'll play it anyway, because I think it's important. Here's the DA

00:07:18.680 applying the initial 911 call from Blake's ex-girlfriend and alleged rape victim.

00:07:25.240 And here's how that went. Listen.

00:07:26.360 David, Jacob Blake is here, and he has the keys to a rental that I purchased that I need to take

00:07:32.000 back, and he's not trying to release it. And on top of that, he's not supposed to be here.

00:07:36.260 Today is his son's birthday, so I'll allow him to spend a couple hours with him, but he's not

00:07:41.080 giving me the keys to this rental. And that's all I'm asking for. I never would have called you guys.

00:07:45.920 I promise you I'll try to keep from calling you guys, but he's crashed numerous of my vehicles

00:07:50.940 in the past, and I literally just bought one, like yesterday. And so just because he heard some

00:07:56.640 false information, he's not willing to give me the keys to this car that doesn't even belong to

00:08:01.780 me. Me and my sisters just saw him skirt off in it and turn around and come back. So I need you

00:08:07.860 guys to come in. I need these people. Okay, what is your name? My name is Laquisha Booker. Go ahead

00:08:13.120 and tell the girls that. Go ahead and tell them that. Do not put your shoes on. The police are on their way

00:08:17.520 here. Yes, it is. Do not put your shoes on. You didn't even want to go outside. Is Jacob there

00:08:25.140 right now? Yes, and he's trying to kiss his kid so he can hurry up and leave. He was here just

00:08:32.060 talking all types of crazy, and now he's walking off now. Now he's getting ready to leave. Well,

00:08:37.060 let me get the license plate. Okay, so they came because they were called by the woman there,

00:08:42.900 and the real victim in this case, by the way, who quite reasonably wanted to prevent her abusive

00:08:48.280 ex-boyfriend, who she had a restraining order against, from stealing her car and crashing it

00:08:52.360 again, she says. He's done this before and crashed it, this time with her kids inside.

00:08:57.000 The DA also revealed, and here was a new revelation, that three of the bullet wounds in Blake's body

00:09:03.380 were on his side, not his back. So even the part about being shot in the back, that was a lie too.

00:09:10.440 That's not true, which confirms what the officer claimed and what eyewitnesses reported, that as

00:09:16.820 the officer grabbed him to prevent him from climbing into his ex-girlfriend's vehicle, Blake turned back

00:09:22.460 around towards the officer with the knife still in his hand. It was at that point that the officer

00:09:28.200 fired. Why did the officer grab Blake in the first place? Well, because he was a violent, again,

00:09:34.580 a violent armed criminal, wanted felon, trying to evade arrest by driving away in a stolen vehicle

00:09:43.300 with children inside. The thing is, the officers would have been entirely justified in shooting

00:09:48.460 him dead on the spot for that reason alone, even if it was in the back. When you've got a wanted

00:09:54.080 fugitive, alleged rapist, abusive person, restraining order against him, he's trying to get into a car,

00:10:03.300 the car of his victim, steal it, kids inside, drive away to get to, you know, and you don't know what 0.95

00:10:09.160 he's going to do. Is there going to be a high-speed chase? Is he going to hold one of the kids hostage?

00:10:12.720 Who knows? If your only way to stop him from getting into the car is to shoot him, you'd be 0.98

00:10:18.900 completely justified in doing that. In fact, you would be unjustified in not doing it. If you let him 0.97

00:10:25.940 get into that car with those kids because he didn't want to shoot him, that would be on you as a

00:10:30.400 police officer. That would be the real outrage. But on top of all that, you know, the fact that

00:10:35.760 he turned back towards them with the knife in his hand only adds an exclamation point to the

00:10:40.640 officer's innocence. But as I said, there is an outrage in the DA's decision. There is a miscarriage

00:10:46.720 of justice. It's not what the left is claiming, as they weep and wail over a police officer not being

00:10:51.200 charged with a crime for shooting a violent armed felon in self-defense. No, the outrage is that

00:10:55.560 Jacob Blake is not being charged with any crime. Keep in mind, he had already been given merely

00:11:02.540 probation for the charges stemming from the original warrant. And again, he had that warrant because he

00:11:07.400 was accused of unlawfully entering a woman's house, raping her, then stealing her credit cards

00:11:11.180 and her vehicle. He was given two years of probation for that back in November. Now he faces no charges at

00:11:18.680 all for his actions on the day of the shooting, even though those actions constitute a whole series

00:11:22.640 of additional felonies, violating a restraining order, harassment, theft, assault of a police

00:11:27.720 officer, resisting arrest. That's just the start of it. To be clear, the officers committed no crime at

00:11:34.860 all. Blake, on the other hand, has committed dozens of violent felonies that we know about

00:11:40.340 since the alleged rape earlier in the year and will face almost no legal consequence for any of it.

00:11:47.040 This is the outrage here. If you want to be angry about the DA's decision, be angry about that.

00:11:54.440 Jacob Blake should be in prison for the rest of his life. He is the abuser, the bad guy who suffered

00:12:00.880 the physical consequences of his own actions and now should suffer legal consequences too.

00:12:07.820 And all the while, the woman, his ex-girlfriend, the woman you heard in that 911 tape,

00:12:12.540 has been silenced, ignored. That's the first time we've heard her voice throughout all of this.

00:12:19.200 The media has never even asked. They don't bring her up. It's like she doesn't exist.

00:12:25.460 Silenced, ignored, and forgotten throughout this whole affair. Nobody says her name.

00:12:30.480 No one's taking a knee on her behalf. Yet she remains the victim, not Jacob Blake,

00:12:37.700 who is, if he's a victim of anything, he's a victim of nothing but his own choices.

00:12:44.200 Now let's get to our five headlines.

00:12:51.740 Well, the runoff election in Georgia yesterday, it's looking like Democrats are poised to win both

00:12:57.480 races and take control of the Senate. The nightmare situation has been realized. I'm not one to panic

00:13:06.360 over election results. And I'm still not panicking now. I don't think panic is ever the appropriate

00:13:13.420 response to anything, really. But this is a very bad situation because the Democrats, as we know,

00:13:21.240 with each passing day, they just plunge deeper and deeper into their own insane radicalism.

00:13:28.140 And now they're going to control the entire government. And on top of that,

00:13:31.280 they're, you know, they're out for revenge. They feel like they need to avenge the last four years

00:13:36.100 of them not being in control. And who knows what they're going to do with it? I mean, our prayer now,

00:13:43.380 our hope is that they'll be too incompetent and fighting too much amongst themselves to do any real

00:13:48.860 damage. And that's, that's the hope. And, uh, it may be, uh, whether it's a reasonable hope or not,

00:13:55.240 I'm not sure. But the question now is with Republicans losing the Senate, uh, and the state

00:14:02.320 of Georgia, you know, who do we blame? And you could say, well, it doesn't matter. We don't need

00:14:06.980 to play the blame game. What, what, what does it matter to go back? It does kind of matter. If we want

00:14:11.240 to learn any lessons for the future, then we need to, we need to learn. We need to, we need to know

00:14:16.580 what, what, what went wrong? Why did this happen? Now, the narrative that's taking shape,

00:14:23.240 it seems like, uh, among many on the right, especially, especially, you know, Trump, Trump

00:14:28.180 supporters, uh, that the narrative that I'm, I'm seeing right now is that, well, this is Mitch

00:14:33.360 McConnell's fault because, uh, you know, he didn't get the, he opposed the $2,000 stimulus checks

00:14:39.400 and, uh, and voters were very upset about that. And that's why this happened.

00:14:44.980 Now I'm sure that played a part, right? And, uh, and I was on this show talking about six,

00:14:53.060 600 bucks, isn't going to do anything. If you're going to send the checks, I opposed the stimulus

00:14:56.940 bill, the way that it was written. They're going to send the checks needs to be more than 600.

00:15:00.060 I think 2000 is better than 600. Um, but even with the 2000, the way they were doing it,

00:15:05.100 it still would be basically probably useless for the most part. I, but I just don't see how that is,

00:15:11.180 is what's at fault here because the reality is this was a close election in a state. The

00:15:19.180 Republicans should have won. And what we know is that there were prominent people on the right

00:15:25.240 who were either explicitly saying or implying for months that voters in Georgia might as well not

00:15:33.520 vote because it's just going to be stolen and rigged anyway. So there's no reason to vote

00:15:36.800 either people on the right conserves so-called supposed conservatives, either explicitly

00:15:44.140 encouraging Republicans in Georgia, not to vote or depressing the turnout, um,

00:15:51.740 in slightly more subtle ways. How is that not what's at fault here? When you had, you had,

00:15:58.760 you had people on the right depressing their own turnout, disenfranchising their own voters,

00:16:05.160 telling their own voters not to vote. And then what do you know, Republicans lose and we're

00:16:10.080 supposed to blame Mitch McConnell. We're supposed to blame somebody else, not someone like Lin Wood,

00:16:17.360 who's out there doing rallies in Georgia, telling people not to vote for Republicans.

00:16:22.080 Somehow he, oh no, it's not him. Come on. It's absolutely ridiculous. Yeah. It turns out when

00:16:31.200 you tell your voters not to vote, you lose. Wow. What a, what a, what an amazing turn of events.

00:16:39.440 No, it couldn't possibly be that. When you had, when you had people on the right telling Republicans

00:16:45.360 not to vote and then Republicans don't vote, there's low voter turnout and they lose. No, but I don't,

00:16:50.860 I don't see the connection here. How could you possibly connect these dots?

00:16:55.620 No, it must be all about the stimulus bill. Come on. No, what this is, is this is, um,

00:17:04.520 you know, this is CYA. This is cover your ass. There are a lot of people on the right, 1.00

00:17:10.360 some prominent people who are responsible for this because they were out there depressing

00:17:18.140 turnout. And now this is on them. This is their fault. We're going to have Democrats in charge of

00:17:23.240 the entire government for at least two years. Everything that happens because of that, it is

00:17:26.760 on them. It's their fault. And I'm no Mitch McConnell apologist. I'm happy to blame him for

00:17:34.820 anything. He can be blamed for it. I don't think he gets the blame for this because he wasn't the one

00:17:40.900 out there doing rallies in Georgia telling conservatives not to vote. He wasn't the one

00:17:44.960 doing that. One thing is clear though, um, that, that this had to do with Republicans not showing

00:17:53.360 up lower, low turnout. Okay. It wasn't that Republicans voted Democrat in large numbers.

00:17:59.220 I don't think that was the case. Despite the media narrative bolstered by interviews with voters like

00:18:03.960 this, I want to show you this. Here was an interview in Georgia with a supposed lifelong Republican,

00:18:09.040 but I'm, I'm a little suspicious of it. I don't know. You tell me, um, but let's, let's listen to

00:18:14.360 this. There are a couple of reasons why I came today. One, there's a responsibility I have as a

00:18:20.720 citizen of the United States to come out and exercise my right to vote. There's many people

00:18:25.320 around the world that don't have this privilege. So I want to do that too. I know that the entire

00:18:30.940 country is looking at Georgia right now as to what our decision is going to be. So I needed to at

00:18:36.460 least make my voice be heard through the exercise, exercising my right to vote, have been a lifelong

00:18:42.900 Republican. This is the first time I've ever voted for a democratic candidate, just because there are

00:18:47.720 issues regarding our environment, regarding, um, taxation, regarding diversity issues and so forth

00:18:55.860 that I think need to be addressed. And I'm hoping they will be with the Senate that can actually

00:19:00.580 help encourage and enact, uh, president Biden's policies. Sure. Lifelong Georgian Republican and

00:19:10.280 his top issues are taxation, the environment and diversity, right? I, this guy's been Republican

00:19:17.300 his whole life down there in Georgia. And, uh, all he's cared about is diversity in the environment,

00:19:21.560 but he's been a lifelong Republican, right? See, I, I, I've kind of changed my view on this a

00:19:26.580 little bit because when I first heard that I thought, um, well, this guy's just, you know,

00:19:31.600 he's, he's, uh, just a, he's a Democrat voter pretending that he was lifelong Republican. Um,

00:19:39.040 it could be that, but when I, when I just listened to there, I started to think maybe,

00:19:43.440 I think maybe something else is going on here. I think maybe this is a, this is actually a lifelong

00:19:49.200 Republican who's just lying. I don't know if he voted Democrat or not, but he's certainly lying

00:19:55.440 about his reasons for doing it because he's talking to the media and he's trying to say,

00:20:01.120 he's trying to say what he thinks the media wants to hear. Maybe it's more of that. I don't know,

00:20:07.300 but just the way he's like, well, um, cause he, he, he didn't, he didn't, he certainly doesn't

00:20:12.060 sound like a Republican there, but he doesn't exactly sound like a Democrat either. He sounds

00:20:16.160 like he's just BSing. He says, you know, um, I was motivated by things regarding diversity issues,

00:20:23.420 you know, environment issues. Uh, it doesn't sound like someone actually cares about those issues.

00:20:31.820 So I'm not sure which it is. Could be, could be a little, could be virtue signaling,

00:20:36.080 you know, uh, Republican trying to say, Hey, I'm one of the cool guys could be a Democrat pretending,

00:20:42.380 but whatever it is, we know there's a lot of BS being, uh, being heaped on us in that video.

00:20:47.980 A little bit, a little bit of comic relief though. We got, at least we got that something to laugh

00:20:51.160 about amid all the dreariness. Number two, going back to the Kenosha story for a minute. Um,

00:20:56.340 I just saw this before we went on the air. LeBron James has weighed in and speaking of someone

00:21:02.580 BSing their way along, sounding like they have no idea what they're talking about. Um,

00:21:08.760 here's LeBron James. I'm smart enough to know that even though we're playing a game of basketball,

00:21:13.020 that there's so much more that's going on in the world. So, so much more that's even more

00:21:17.120 important than us playing the game. Um, and, uh, to hear what happened to Kenosha today was,

00:21:22.300 uh, um, was a blow to the heart and to the gut. Um, you know, not only to that community,

00:21:27.460 um, you know, but to us and to every, um, you know, I guess, you know, black person that,

00:21:34.020 that just has, uh, been a part of this process and seeing these outcomes for so long. And not only

00:21:40.020 just in the black community, but also in the white community as well, who, who, who see, uh,

00:21:44.360 you know, moments like this happened to us, um, and to happen to his family and to happen to the

00:21:48.820 kid himself, um, to see that verdict, it was just, um, it was a blow to the gut, like I said,

00:21:54.160 and a blow to the heart. Um, um, but we got to continue to, we got to continue to stay strong,

00:21:59.640 um, continue to, to, to believe in each other and continue to push for the, for the, for the

00:22:03.720 greater of change and for the greater of good. And, uh, to hear, uh, you know, my people turn out

00:22:08.380 in Georgia, um, in the fashion that they did, um, I definitely going to get some more

00:22:12.160 information on it, but I heard they, they turned out in Georgia and, and that's, uh,

00:22:16.120 commendable. Um, it's something that we started with more than a vote and we want to continue

00:22:19.400 to do that and continue to support, you know, actions like this and causes that went on today,

00:22:22.820 um, has been going on obviously. So, um, proud of, um, you know, proud of my people, um, for

00:22:28.720 getting out there, um, and doing what they do best. So, and that's being heard and being seen,

00:22:32.880 um, and being powerful and being engaged.

00:22:36.220 This guy has no idea what's going on. He has no clue. That was just one long parade of cliches.

00:22:42.160 Uh, I'm proud of, uh, down there in Georgia, the, the, the turnout and, uh, you know, the

00:22:46.480 situations that are going on down there, uh, there's all kinds of situations. I'm proud

00:22:50.020 of those situations. There are other situations I'm not proud of, you know, there's bad situations

00:22:54.740 or good situations, but I just really, I like the good situations and I'm, and, um, um, I'm

00:23:00.100 just so proud of that. This guy has just no clue, no clue what's going on in the world.

00:23:05.920 Um, and he calls Jacob Blake a kid. Ah, you know, that poor kid, that kid, Jacob Blake's

00:23:10.980 like 30 years old, a wanted felon, 30 years old, allegedly raped a woman, you know, assaulted 0.95

00:23:16.940 a police officer. It's just a, just an innocent kid. And of course, LeBron James, we talk about 0.74

00:23:20.560 how the woman is being ignored and all this, uh, LeBron James, that's another one. He's,

00:23:24.980 he's never acknowledged her, never said anything about her, doesn't care at all. But the fact

00:23:31.680 that LeBron really has no idea what's going on and doesn't care. That's the point. Doesn't

00:23:36.780 really care. You think he really cares about Jacob Blake and what's happening in Kenosha.

00:23:41.000 It's not like someone like LeBron is, uh, is misguided in it. It was really passionate,

00:23:46.780 but he's just a moron and he's misguided. That that's the, I think it's incorrect to see 1.00

00:23:52.100 it that way. I think you're doing him a favor. Yeah. He might be a moron and he might be misguided

00:23:56.980 in many ways. That's not exactly what's happening here. I think he doesn't really care at all. 1.00

00:24:00.740 Um, he's living in his mansion in Los Angeles, just kind of casually throwing hand grenades

00:24:09.280 into, into, uh, into crowded cities, doing his part to spark rioting and looting and unrest.

00:24:16.300 Doesn't care at all. Doesn't mean anything to him. He just knows it's kind of a popular thing to say

00:24:21.080 and it's getting him some, some good attention that he likes and the right kinds of people are

00:24:25.620 patting him on the back for it. And so he doesn't care.

00:24:30.740 Just kind of casually yanking the pin out, tossing the grenade.

00:24:34.880 Doesn't matter to him. Guy's a sociopath. A lot of those out there. Number three, 0.99

00:24:40.380 it seems like we see videos like this, you know, five times a week, but here's another

00:24:43.720 altercation sparked by a member of the volunteer mask Gestapo. Uh, many people take it upon themselves.

00:24:53.480 They, they join the mask Gestapo and on a volunteer basis, they, they are, you know, 0.68

00:24:57.760 if they're on a plane or if they're at a restaurant or in a grocery store there,

00:25:01.620 even though they don't work there, they're just patrolling, looking out for maskless people.

00:25:05.680 And here's another example, um, of a guy without a mask being harassed by someone for not wearing it.

00:25:11.300 Let's watch that 70,000 Twitter followers. Wow. You have 70,000 Twitter followers. Well,

00:25:19.320 they're not, that means nothing. You're still being very rude. These, these men are just drinking

00:25:25.140 coffee. They're allowed to have a mask off when they're drinking.

00:25:29.580 They weren't wearing masks. Wait, where? We were drinking. No, no, no, no, no.

00:25:34.740 All right. You know what's safer than a mask?

00:25:37.820 Anymore than you. Social distancing. That's more effective than the mask. So why don't you

00:25:43.080 step back and leave them? You're not involved. Yes, we are. Yes, we are, because you're not

00:25:47.040 involved on this train. With this mask off. Please, excuse me.

00:25:52.580 You're having an issue here. Okay. Correct me if I'm wrong, but this woman, she has a, okay. 1.00

00:26:02.980 She has a mask. She has a visor. Does she also have goggles? Am I seeing that correctly? I know

00:26:09.300 she's wearing glasses, but it looks to me like this, uh, the mask Gestapo member there, this,

00:26:15.280 this woman who, who, who, I don't know if you heard that, but she, uh, what I really wanted you 1.00

00:26:19.080 to hear is at the very beginning, she bragged about having 70,000 Twitter followers.

00:26:22.940 Which I'm skeptical of, by the way, in the first place. But she says, uh, she said she

00:26:27.960 had 70,000 Twitter followers. So she was, she was taking a video of this guy, uh, sitting

00:26:32.260 on the train without a mask on and saying, I'm going to, I'm going to tell on you. I'm

00:26:36.820 telling, I'm telling, they're like my kids, a bunch of tattletales. I have to tell my kids

00:26:42.920 every day, especially my daughter. She's going through a tattletale phase. I have to talk to

00:26:46.780 her about this every single day and I'm working with her precisely because I don't want her

00:26:50.300 to end up like that with a visor and goggles and a mask, taking a video of some guy minding 0.97

00:26:56.680 his own damn business on a train, drinking a bottle of water. So he doesn't have his mask 0.93

00:27:00.820 on. I'm telling, except my daughter, seven, this nutcase is 70. My daughter has an excuse. What's, 0.93

00:27:09.140 what's your excuse? Um, this is, I really think that, and we know that the lockdowns and everything,

00:27:20.540 things that have happened over the last several months have, have, uh, caused a crisis of mental

00:27:25.800 health. And we hear about that a lot, but I think we focus on, you know, the plight of people who are

00:27:30.760 trapped in their homes and they're alone and they're isolated. And maybe they were already

00:27:34.400 dealing with things like depression or, or, or, you know, drug addiction and how, how hard this is

00:27:39.920 on them. And we should be focusing on that because I think that that's, you know, those are people who

00:27:44.260 are being, being forgotten in all of this. And, uh, we know that suicides are up and everything.

00:27:48.860 Um, but when we talk about the, the mental health toll, I think also this, like the woman there in

00:27:56.440 that video, there, there, there are people who have just been broken and many of them probably

00:28:03.200 were already broken, but even more so have been broken by things that have happened over the last

00:28:10.540 few months. And now they're leaving their home with goggles, a visor, a mask.

00:28:18.860 If somebody just pulls down a mask to take a drink of water, they start freaking out.

00:28:24.040 Terrified. I was, I was going for a jog the other day around the neighborhood.

00:28:28.760 And you could say that maybe I'm the one with mental health problems if I'm going for a jog.

00:28:31.940 Uh, cause even when I was doing it, I was kind of like, every time I jog, I think to myself,

00:28:35.640 why am I doing this exactly? What is the point of what I'm doing right now? I don't exactly know,

00:28:39.700 but I was jogging around the neighborhood and, uh, I passed by a guy. He was out, he was outside

00:28:45.000 in his own driveway with a mask on in his own driveway. Nobody else around. I mean, I, I wrote,

00:28:52.160 I, I ran by him, you know, 20 yards away in his own driveway with a mask on. These are people that

00:29:00.500 have been broken, mentally broken. And I don't think there's any easy recovery from it. The woman in

00:29:07.700 that video of eventually, if we ever move past this and, uh, the mask ordinances go away, if that

00:29:14.580 ever happens, you think she's just going to go back to normal, assuming she was ever normal to

00:29:20.200 begin with? No, this paranoia and fear and this, this, um, you know, this disposition they have now,

00:29:30.380 it's not going to go away. This compulsion, but, um, all right, let's go, let's go to number four

00:29:40.380 here. Here's a shocking report from NBC news. This, here it is. Get ready for this. Prepare

00:29:46.560 yourself. It says a new study suggests transgender women, i.e. men who identify as women, maintain an

00:29:53.240 athletic advantage over their cisgender peers, even after a year on hormone therapy. The results 0.97

00:29:58.840 published last month in the British journal journal of sports medicine could mean the current one year

00:30:03.600 waiting period for Olympic athletes who are transitioning is inadequate. The studies lead

00:30:08.480 author, Dr. Timothy Roberts, a pediatrician and the director of the adolescent medical training

00:30:12.440 program at children's mercy hospital in Kansas, Kansas city, Missouri said for the Olympic level,

00:30:17.140 the elite level, I'd say probably two years is more realistic than one year at one year. The trans 1.00

00:30:21.220 women on average still have an advantage over the cis women. Uh, and then it goes on from there. So 1.00

00:30:26.640 what they're saying is when a man says he's a woman and then goes and competes against women,

00:30:32.780 he still has the biological advantage of men, even though he says he's a woman. Why does he have that

00:30:39.000 biological advantage? I don't know. They don't go into details in this study, but I think it's probably

00:30:43.720 because he still is a man. That's probably the reason because it's kind of a mystery, right? Why would a,

00:30:50.560 a man who says he's a woman and then competes against women in sports and still has the biological

00:30:56.940 advantage of men? How could that be? How is it possible? Is it that he's still biologically a man?

00:31:07.200 Is it that he'll always be biologically a man, no matter what he says or how he identifies or what

00:31:14.060 drugs he takes or, or what medical procedures he undergoes, he will still always be a biological 0.55

00:31:21.140 man. Could that be the case? I don't know. The study doesn't say the study and said they, I don't

00:31:26.160 know how much, I don't know how much they spent on this, how much money they spent, um, how many years

00:31:32.060 they spent on this doing this study. But in the end, all they do is confirm what everybody with

00:31:38.220 common sense knew right away anyway. So I'm glad that they could do that study. I mean, they, you

00:31:45.120 know, I don't know. They, they could have, they could have just whatever, however, however many

00:31:47.660 millions they spent on this study, they could have just given it to me. And I would have told them

00:31:50.820 that. That's something to keep in mind for next time. Number five, finally, I want to play this for

00:31:55.120 you just because it's, uh, it's fascinating in a sick kind of way. It's fascinating. I think to,

00:31:58.800 to, to witness Kamala Harris attempting to pretend to be human. Um, you remember we, we talked about

00:32:05.580 yesterday the story Kamala told about when she was a kid and she fell out of a stroller and shouted

00:32:11.520 freedom like William Wallace. Well, apparently she's been telling that story, which was plagiarized

00:32:16.760 from Martin Luther King Jr. Um, as, as it turns out, she's been telling that for years. And here's a,

00:32:22.180 here's examples that were, were dug up. Let's watch this. Well, I was in a stroller and I was in a

00:32:29.300 stroller and, um, so I was out there and in fact, my mother used to have a very funny story, but I was,

00:32:35.240 fussing and, and, and she said, Kamala, what do you want? And I said, and this is how she would 0.90

00:32:40.500 say it. And she said, Kamala, what do you want? And I said, tweet him. Oh, come on. It was a much

00:32:51.020 cuter story when she would tell it, but that's the story she told. By the way, is that how they're

00:32:56.480 doing the late night shows now? I guess that is it though? I haven't watched, I never watch them.

00:33:00.100 So I really don't know, but they've been doing this the whole time. It's like Skype.

00:33:02.740 I guess I'm way behind the times because I don't, I don't really care that much. I've

00:33:06.840 never watched them, but anyway, that's her tell. She told, and there was another video.

00:33:09.880 She told the story somewhere else on stage. It's always a little bit, she adds different,

00:33:13.940 a little bit of different, you know, she embellishes in different places and adds details here and

00:33:17.820 there. But, uh, that's, that's the story. And my question is, this is the thing nobody's asking.

00:33:25.160 If it really, well, it didn't happen. Okay. But let's, let's pretend for a moment that it did happen.

00:33:29.580 Um, how, how could your child fall out of a stroller and you not notice? That's what I don't

00:33:37.500 get because number one, you're, you're, you're walking the child with the stroller. If they fall

00:33:43.260 out, they're going to probably fall in front of the stroller. So what you just run over the child,

00:33:47.100 just like step on them and walk over them and not even notice. What was that bump? That probably

00:33:51.180 nothing. That's probably someone else's kid. You keep going, you go like two blocks. Hey,

00:33:56.280 where'd the kid go? That's, you know, that's the, the least of our concerns with that story,

00:34:02.720 but it is, uh, it's still, if that story is true, then Kamala Harris is revealing that she had a very

00:34:07.560 neglectful mother. So we know that at least now a quick word from our friends over at rock auto,

00:34:13.060 you know, a good thing for, for me, ever since I moved to, uh, to Tennessee is that we've been able

00:34:18.020 to save a lot of money because that's one of the great, it's one of the reasons why everybody's

00:34:21.900 moving to Tennessee. And if too many people move, then it's going to become expensive. So please,

00:34:25.620 everyone's done. Well, I think we got to cut it off now that I've moved here. Everyone else would

00:34:28.800 stop moving. I should be the last one. So I get to get to have all the benefits for myself, but

00:34:32.200 anyway, saving money, um, in, in Tennessee, but it's always good. I want to save more money

00:34:36.760 because I'm greedy in that way. And that's why I use rock auto.com. It's so much easier and so much

00:34:41.500 cheaper than walking into a store and, you know, having to deal with all that, somebody demanding quick

00:34:46.880 answers to the questions that you might have. Um, and, uh, and at the end of the day, whatever

00:34:53.680 you're looking for, they probably won't have it and they got to order it online. Anyway, why not do

00:35:46.480 box? So they know that we sent you. And, uh, also listen, important to tell you about this because

00:35:53.440 there's a reason that millions of people believe lies about conservatives. And that's because

00:35:59.460 they've been trained to do so by content creators that despise us. We talk about bias in the media.

00:36:04.600 Well, bias in the news media is a problem. That's not nearly as bad as the bias you get in

00:36:10.180 entertainment. I think the bias in entertainment, um, is a lot more influential because people are

00:36:15.160 moved by it when they're not expecting it. When you watch the news, you expect sort of to get bias

00:36:20.760 by a lot of people. When they sit down and they watch, just they consume entertainment. They don't

00:36:25.500 expect it. And so they're much more susceptible to it. Um, that's why they always say politics is

00:36:31.380 downstream from culture. And we, as a culture are starving for content that's edgy and entertaining

00:36:35.740 and also awesome, but that doesn't mock conservative values. That's why we need to

00:36:39.960 give people options. And daily wire is aiming to do just that. And that's why we've told you about

00:36:44.940 the new film. The new daily wire film was our first film. We're very excited about it. It's

00:36:48.480 called run, hide, fight. This is not your stereotypical conservative film. In fact, it's

00:36:53.240 not, it's not political at all. I wouldn't really call it a conservative film at all. It's also not

00:36:57.400 family friendly. Okay. This is not something you'd sit down with. And I'm not going to sit down with my

00:37:01.240 seven-year-old kids and watch it with them. It is intense. It's violent, but it has a powerful

00:37:06.060 message that goes with it as well. The movie follows a high school siege by a quartet of

00:37:10.080 school shooters. When one young girl, 17 year old Zoe Hall uses her wits and survival skills

00:37:15.180 to fight back. Uh, I've seen the movie myself and you're talking about the 17 year old girl,

00:37:21.440 the character Zoe Hall, uh, the performance there is one thing that really jumped out at me watching

00:37:25.680 the movie. I think it'll jump out at you too, is, um, many of the performances in the movie are very

00:37:29.840 good. The performance, especially of the lead, uh, the lead character who plays Zoe Hall, I thought

00:37:35.940 was, was, uh, was really spectacular. That's why we're really excited to show you this film and bring

00:37:40.540 you something that's never been done before in conservative media. Run, hide, fight will be

00:37:43.920 available to watch on Friday, January 15th at dailywire.com. And we'll be doing a special live

00:37:48.980 stream premiere the night before on Thursday, January 14th on the daily wire YouTube channel.

00:37:53.620 Let's kick off 2021 by fighting back on culture and creating our own content. Now let's

00:37:59.820 get to our daily cancellation. So today we're canceling Alistair Mook, Dog on Fleas and the

00:38:10.820 Okie Dokie Brothers. Now I never thought I'd see the day when I had to cancel Alistair Mook,

00:38:17.240 Dog on Fleas and the Okie Dokie Brothers, mainly because I had no idea who they were. As it turns

00:38:21.740 out, they are bands that perform children's music. Now prior to this, the only children's band I knew of

00:38:27.820 is, uh, it's called the Wiggles. And they're a group of insufferable, abominable Australians who 1.00

00:38:33.780 dress like crew members on the Starship Enterprise and sing songs about fruit salad. My oldest kids 0.99

00:38:39.420 were obsessed with the Wiggles for years. And I was driven to the edge of insanity on many long car

00:38:44.860 rides, forced to listen to Wiggles songs on repeat for hours on end. It's like a violation of the Geneva

00:38:51.620 convention or something. Because of this experience, I have developed a deep loathing of children's

00:38:56.440 bands. And perhaps that's informing my decision today to cancel the Okie Dokie Brothers and the

00:39:00.780 rest of the crew. Um, I don't know, but I think they, they richly deserve it. That's what I think.

00:39:05.620 But you tell me what you think. Here's the NPR report. It says three of the five acts nominated for

00:39:11.760 the 2021 best children's album Grammy award are saying no thanks. They're upset that the contenders

00:39:18.080 in their category are all white. One of them is Alistair Mook, whose nominated album,

00:39:23.320 Be a Pain, is about American heroes who stood up for their principles. The Reverend Martin Luther

00:39:28.120 King Jr., Harvey Milk, Rosa Parks, um, the Parkland, Florida shooting student protesters and others.

00:39:36.980 Harvey Milk, by the way, was a, uh, a pederast, but, uh, you know, yeah, sure. Why not sing about

00:39:41.480 him in your children's album? A big deal there. Upon hearing the news, he was, uh, he was going back

00:39:46.160 to the articles. Upon hearing the news, he was nominated that he was nominated along with three

00:39:49.220 other white male acts and one white woman, Mook smacked his head. After this year, to have an 0.71

00:39:54.620 all white slate of nominees seemed really tone deaf. He says the Boston based singer songwriter

00:39:59.600 says he'd love to get a Grammy Grammy, but quote, I don't want it like this where the playing field's

00:40:05.420 not even. Mook is protesting by turning down his nomination. So our fellow acts dog on fleas in

00:40:11.080 the Okie Dokie brothers. Okay. Now we have to, we have to pause here to acknowledge a certain possibility. 0.96

00:40:15.520 As I said, I've never listened to any of these bands. I don't know much about the children's

00:40:21.280 music space other than the fact that it makes me want to stick my head into a blender.

00:40:25.240 It's possible that these particular acts never had any chance of winning in the first place. And so

00:40:31.300 now they're saving the embarrassment of losing by pretending to decline the nomination for noble

00:40:36.300 reasons. So it would be kind of like if I somehow was invited to play Kevin, to play Kevin Durant

00:40:41.980 one-on-one, but I declined the invitation and said, no, you know, I'd love to play and I'm sure

00:40:47.900 I'd probably win, but I think someone who's, you know, less privileged should play instead. I just,

00:40:54.940 I'm really looking out for the underprivileged. I'd love to play. I would play, I'd win, you know,

00:40:58.580 but I just don't want to do it. It's possible that something similar to that is going on here.

00:41:03.820 In which case I would respect the hustle actually, but, but, but I'm probably being too

00:41:07.820 generous. Here's the, here's part of the letter authored by these three acts. They, they put this

00:41:13.580 letter out. They sent it to the Grammys, um, declining their nomination. And here's part of

00:41:18.580 what it said. It said, quote, unfortunately this year's slate of all white nominees, only one of

00:41:24.940 whom is female is not an aberration for children's music. In the past 10 years, only about 6% of

00:41:30.720 nominated acts have been black led or co-led. Another 8% or so have been non-black POC led.

00:41:38.240 Those are two separate categories now. Okay. And around 30% have been female led. These numbers

00:41:44.060 will be disappointing in any category, but in a genre whose performers are uniquely tasked with

00:41:49.020 modeling fairness, kindness, and inclusion in a country where more than half of all children are

00:41:53.960 non-white. And after a year of national reckoning around race and gender, the numbers are unacceptable.

00:41:59.920 Okay. Why are the numbers unacceptable? That's never explained. In all these years,

00:42:08.140 have there been non-white acts more deserving of the award on their own merits? I don't know. 1.00

00:42:16.160 Or is skin color now a merit in itself? That's basically what we're told every time there's a

00:42:22.280 controversy over, oh, there's, there's not enough, uh, of this particular ethnicity or race nominated for

00:42:27.160 this award. What you're saying is that just, just having that skin color, that ethnicity is a merit 0.99

00:42:33.540 and that alone should, uh, should, should warrant an award. That's what you're saying,

00:42:37.920 which isn't patronizing at all, of course, but the letter gets even better. They haven't debased

00:42:45.540 themselves enough simply by withdrawing and shame because they're white. They also feel the need to 0.95

00:42:50.240 apologize for ever allowing themselves to be considered for a nomination in the first place.

00:42:54.940 This is what they say, quote, we take full responsibility for putting ourselves in the

00:42:59.460 position we're in. So just, just stop. They're apologizing for being successful and apparently

00:43:06.100 good at what they do. That's how they put themselves in that position. It was just by being, you know,

00:43:11.660 a successful children's act and being good at it. So they're apologizing for that. I'm so sorry that

00:43:17.440 I was good at this. Please forgive me. They say, quote, we chose to submit and distribute our album

00:43:24.500 to voters. Even as we were aware of this category's past history of exclusion, we thought that this year

00:43:29.900 after recent national events, all the hard work of the family music forward racial justice collective

00:43:35.580 to bring attention to issues, the diversity, equity, and inclusion, our genre and changes within the

00:43:39.780 academy itself designed to reduce bias. We might see a different outcome. We didn't. And the results

00:43:44.700 are frankly an embarrassment for the field of children's music.

00:43:51.060 I agree that, you know, they are an embarrassment to the field of children's music, but not for the

00:43:56.600 reasons they seem to think. They're an embarrassment in general. And they are evidence that white guilt 0.97

00:44:01.800 has become a mental illness. Well, let's not make the mistake of assuming that this is all just 0.99

00:44:07.320 empty and cynical virtue signaling. I mean, it is that, but I believe it also reflects a real

00:44:12.700 authentic derangement. Now, white guilt seems to be almost a sort of body dysmorphia. I think that's

00:44:18.520 the category it belongs in. It's not naturally occurring. Babies aren't born with it. It's a

00:44:24.180 disease that is injected into the mind, instilled. It happens through conditioning. But the result is

00:44:29.860 that many white people in our country today, I'm not sure how many, but too many, really do hate

00:44:34.020 themselves. They believe that their skin color is some sort of ancestral curse. They believe that 0.86

00:44:39.500 they inherit guilt and sin along with their skin pigmentation, and they have to purge themselves 1.00

00:44:44.180 of the evil, atone, make amends, reparations. It's almost like it's strikingly similar to the

00:44:51.700 doctrine of original sin, but perverted and twisted around and racialized. I almost feel pity for the 0.99

00:44:59.560 people who suffer this mental affliction, but that pity is overwhelmed just by the contempt

00:45:04.900 I have for them. And that's why they're canceled. Alistair Moog, Dog on Fleas, and the Okie-Dokie 0.92

00:45:11.500 Brothers, all canceled. And that'll do it for today. Thanks for watching, everybody. Thanks for

00:45:17.800 listening. Have a great day. Godspeed.
