The Matt Walsh Show - Ep. 680 - How To Drug And Rob People And Not Get Canceled

00:00:00.000 Today on the Matt Wall Show, as people are canceled for tweets and jokes and opinions,

00:00:04.040 we'll consider the major pop star who admitted publicly to drugging and robbing men

00:00:07.800 and yet has not been canceled for it. What does that tell us about cancel culture? Also,

00:00:12.440 five headlines including Columbia University working towards racial equality and equity by

00:00:16.220 holding segregated graduation ceremonies and Sharon Osbourne facing the repercussions of 0.97

00:00:21.460 briefly disagreeing with the left about something and also Marvel announcing their new gay Captain

00:00:26.180 America. That's historic. Finally, in our Daily Cancellation, we'll discuss the rampant

00:00:30.060 cultural appropriation that is taking place today on St. Patrick's Day. I, for one,

00:00:34.780 will have none of it. All of that and more today on the Matt Wall Show.

00:00:44.640 So after Cardi B took to the Grammy stage in what appeared to be a costume from a never-aired

00:00:50.180 Showgirls Power Rangers crossover film and writhed about on a large bed while lip-syncing 1.00

00:00:55.940 to her X-rated hit WAP, many people pointed out the obvious irony. Here was a major pop star

00:01:00.840 flopping around on the stage, screaming about her genitals during primetime on a major network, 0.53

00:01:06.320 even as certain Dr. Seuss books, Looney Tunes characters, Muppet films, and Disney cartoons

00:01:10.600 have recently been criticized, censored, or taken out of publication completely for their supposedly

00:01:15.320 objectionable content. It would seem that our culture has a rather confused idea about what

00:01:19.980 sorts of material might be damaging to impressionable children or impressionable adults,

00:01:23.880 for that matter. Now, it might be more accurate to say that our culture doesn't really care about

00:01:27.860 protecting kids from damaging material and only uses those concerns as a vehicle to enact sweeping

00:01:32.600 cultural changes. Either way, the contrast between WAP and Dr. Seuss is as instructive as it is

00:01:39.200 depressing. And it's also the kind of conversation that would cause previous generations, if they

00:01:43.720 looked through a crystal ball and overheard it, to throw themselves off of cliffs en masse. Yet,

00:01:48.980 the really profound cancel culture hypocrisy as it relates to Cardi B can be found not in her music,

00:01:54.700 but in something else. Recall that the singer only a few years ago confessed on camera to drugging and

00:02:01.380 robbing men. In a deleted Instagram video, she boasted of having lured men, she didn't say how many,

00:02:07.300 but it would seem that there were numerous victims, from the strip club where she worked back to a hotel

00:02:11.760 room where she committed these felonies against them. Now, the clip is kind of hard to understand,

00:02:16.760 but here it is again. Anyway, listen.

00:02:19.080 You gotta put in that rent. I did it with my money. So for a bitch to say that I don't motherfucking deserve it 1.00

00:02:26.160 because I don't put in no f***ing rent. Now, that's when I feel like n****s is bugging. 1.00

00:02:31.040 Because I did it myself. N****s must have forgot, my n****s, the s*** that I did. 0.99

00:02:36.720 So motherf***ing survive. Like, I had to go straight. I had to go, oh yeah, you want to f*** me? 0.99

00:02:42.980 Yeah, yeah, yeah. Let's go to this hotel. And I dropped the s*** up and I robbed them. 0.99

00:02:47.820 That's what I used to do. Nothing was my n****s getting to me. My n****s. Nothing. 0.99

00:02:54.540 So for a f***ing motherf***ing say that I don't deserve s***, that's when I know that they're 0.99

00:02:58.860 f***ing bugging because they do not f***ing know. F***ing know what to do. 0.99

00:03:02.400 Truly a scholar is this woman. And she's trying to prove that she deserves her success 0.99

00:03:10.040 by telling us that she is guilty of multiple felonies. What do you mean I deserve to be

00:03:16.220 successful? I'm a criminal. That's the logic. Now, when this video resurfaced in 2019,

00:03:22.920 Cardi B addressed it, but never used the phrase, I'm sorry. She merely admitted that she's, quote,

00:03:27.580 not a perfect person, which may be the only understated thing she's ever written or said,

00:03:32.780 and explained that whether or not they were poor choices at the time, I did what I had to do to

00:03:37.420 survive. Whether or not they were poor choices, this is a justification, not an apology. It's also a lie.

00:03:44.760 In other interviews, the rapper has bragged that she earned upwards of $3,000 a night from stripping. 0.65

00:03:49.960 By the age of 21, she claimed she had 20 grand in singles saved. By 22, she was starring on a reality

00:03:56.060 show, Love and Hip Hop New York. So when exactly was she so poor and destitute that she had to

00:04:02.220 drug and rob people to survive? It doesn't appear that Cardi B views drugging and assaulting people

00:04:07.880 as any kind of serious action requiring desperation to justify anyway. Now, even if she did view it that

00:04:13.260 way, she'd be wrong. But her own words suggest otherwise. In a different video, while dispensing

00:04:18.240 some helpful relationship advice, she said that if a man cheats on her, she'll, quote, take him out, 1.00

00:04:24.380 drug him, then enlist a, quote, tranny, her words, not mine, to sexually assault him while he's 0.99

00:04:29.800 inebriated. This is, again, this is what she said. Let's listen to that. 0.99

00:04:33.660 You know me? I'll be like, hi. I'm gonna take him out. We're gonna get drunk. I'm gonna get him

00:04:38.840 all perked up and everything. We're gonna have a good time. Get him super twisted. Then bring a

00:04:45.180 bitch around. We're gonna have a threesome. And when he wake up, he's gonna be like, what the 1.00

00:04:50.300 fuck? Yeah, because the bitch was a tranny. I'm gonna be like, yup. Yeah, we had a threesome 1.00

00:04:55.100 with a tranny. Yup. Yup, a tranny. Suck your dick. You don't gotta fuck another nigga to get even, 1.00

00:05:00.940 bitch. This woman's IQ is, I mean, it has to be at least double digits. Now, it's not clear if 1.00

00:05:09.480 she's actually done this herself or she's simply recommending it as a course of action. Nobody's

00:05:15.680 thought to ask because none of this has been judged important by our cultural overlords.

00:05:21.040 Now, a contestant on The Bachelor attended an Old South-themed frat party in 2018, and that past

00:05:26.560 infraction made it around the same age when Cardi B was committing violent crimes that would land less

00:05:32.120 privileged people in prison for three decades, has been judged so severe that multiple tearful

00:05:37.920 apologies are not enough to rectify it. We've seen people canceled for tweets and jokes and off-the-cuff

00:05:43.380 comments and other sins which cause no physical harm or any other kind of harm to anyone.

00:05:49.320 We've seen people lose their jobs and their livelihoods for opinions they expressed or words

00:05:53.320 they said, no matter the context or intent or how long ago it was. Cardi B has survived all of those

00:05:59.040 rounds of canceling. The cancel mob has not just passed her over or looked the other way, but given 0.51

00:06:03.780 her a pass from all present and future cancellations. She's afforded this privilege for obvious reasons.

00:06:11.240 For one thing, the primary transgression that will get you canceled is having white skin. It's no 1.00

00:06:16.320 coincidence that almost every canceled person you can name is white. Cardi B has not committed that

00:06:22.720 violation. So that's the first thing. For another, the leftist cancel mob truly considers an offensive

00:06:29.220 opinion, joke, tweet, or word to be far more dangerous and evil than drugging and robbing people,

00:06:35.600 especially men. It's not as though they're, they're gritting their teeth and merely putting

00:06:40.460 up with Cardi B in spite of these terrible things that she had boasted of doing. No, it's that they

00:06:44.700 don't care or worse. They love her even more for sticking it to the patriarchy by means of violent 1.00

00:06:50.280 felonies. In a culture where feelings are king, the worst thing you can do, even worse than violent

00:06:56.900 crime, a lot worse is have unapproved feelings or opinions or to offend the feelings of someone who

00:07:04.460 has approved opinions. What all this means is that, uh, well, it means a lot, but here's one thing we

00:07:12.040 can at least put to rest the flimsy rationalization that cancel culture is really a matter of

00:07:17.500 accountability. I mean, if that's all the mob was doing, holding people accountable, then certainly

00:07:23.900 Cardi B would be in line for a little accountability of her own. She might at a minimum be expected to

00:07:29.860 reach into the ample profit she's earned from singing about her body parts and repay the men 0.96

00:07:35.080 she robbed. That wouldn't even come close to full accountability. Full accountability would involve

00:07:39.380 her sitting in a jail cell until sometime in the 2050s, but it would be something. Instead, we get

00:07:45.140 nothing. We focus on holding random bachelor contestants accountable for the frat parties they

00:07:50.560 attended and newspaper editors accountable for a single word. They said on one instance,

00:07:54.740 an entirely innocent context, two years ago, while criminal sociopaths like Cardi B carry on making

00:08:00.780 their millions, spewing filth into our children's ears and never having to apologize for anything.

00:08:10.220 Call that what you want, but please do not call that accountability. Now let's get to our five

00:08:16.900 headlines. You know, a lot of us, if we grew up in the ancient times of say the 90s or any time before

00:08:29.220 that, or even more recently, you may have a lot of priceless memories that are stored on technology

00:08:35.520 that is not really considered technology anymore. You got home movies, you have, you know, physical

00:08:40.300 pictures and all of that. Problem is that, you know, those things are sitting in a box somewhere in the

00:08:45.280 attic or in the basement. Really bad idea, especially to put them in the basement if you have them there.

00:08:49.160 And every day that goes by, it's a risk because they could be destroyed. That's why you need

00:09:41.600 reporter Ben Siegel. It says, um, POTUS tells George Stephanopoulos that his dog Major did not bite

00:09:49.080 someone and penetrate the skin. He said 85% of the people there love him. All he does is lick them

00:09:54.620 and wag his tail. We're in the process of having a training session. So there was, there was reports

00:09:58.860 that the dog had been biting people and that they had, um, they had to send the dog to somewhere

00:10:05.820 else, send the dog to the big doggy house in the sky. No, I don't think they did that. I think I

00:10:10.600 sent it to Wilmington, um, which is almost as bad as being killed. But in any case now, now the,

00:10:17.020 the Biden is defending the dog and saying, no, well, 85% of the people love him. Can I just say

00:10:21.400 85% is not a good figure. That's, that's not, that raises some questions about the 15%.

00:10:27.660 There are a lot of people in the white house, hundreds, 15% of them don't like this dog.

00:10:33.760 No, if, if there is even one person, um, in an indoor environment who doesn't like a dog,

00:10:43.300 then that dog should not be there because the indoors are for people, not dogs.

00:10:49.980 Dogs really don't belong in the white house. Dogs don't belong in any house. Dogs belong outside

00:10:56.280 because they are smelly beasts. That's where they belong. I don't want to hear any complaints.

00:11:04.260 You know, I'm right. And don't tell me, well, the dogs won't survive outside. Well,

00:11:08.280 you know, it's, if an animal can't survive in nature,

00:11:11.800 then, then natural selection has to take its course. That's all, you know, that's it.

00:11:17.320 I'm sure we can all agree on that. There'll be no complaints about what I just said. Okay. Let's

00:11:24.420 go to number one here from Fox news. It says Columbia university is planning to hold six

00:11:28.040 additional graduation ceremonies for students, according to their race and other aspects of

00:11:31.760 how they identify the New York city schools website details graduation ceremonies for native,

00:11:37.780 uh, for native Asian latinx and black students taking place for Columbia college,

00:11:42.920 Columbia engineering, engineering, general studies in Barnard college at the end of April.

00:11:47.660 Another dubbed FLI graduation is for first generation and or low income communities.

00:11:54.500 And then the school is also hosting a lavender graduation for the LGBTQ plus community.

00:12:01.700 So now they're, they're defending this by saying that they're still having

00:12:06.700 a regular general, uh, graduation for everybody, but then they're going to have the segregated, 0.74

00:12:12.780 segregated ones too on top of that. So that makes it okay. So if you had segregated drinking 0.99

00:12:21.620 fountains, but you also had a drinking fountain that anyone could use, but that would make it

00:12:25.560 okay. You got black and white drinking fountains. So we go back to that black and white drinking

00:12:29.960 fountains. And then if anyone complains, we say, no, no, no, but there's, there's also drinking,

00:12:34.020 drinking fountain across the hallway that you can, anyone can use that one.

00:12:37.020 This is, this is, this is simple. This is segregation. This is actual racial segregation

00:12:45.880 that is being reinstated by the left. And it does make me wonder. So if you've got the regular

00:12:52.080 graduation and then all these other graduations, does that mean that? So what about a student who's

00:12:59.020 a student also gay, also, um, black, also, um, indigenous, would they go to like six different

00:13:05.740 graduations? I guess so. This is how we have, it, it, it really is amazing to witness how we've

00:13:15.160 gone just full circle, right back to Jim Crow. And we are doing it in the name of racial tolerance

00:13:24.880 and equality gone right back to separate, but equal. And I hate to use the, the, the, the term,

00:13:33.060 because this is so overused and used so often by people who've never even read the book, but,

00:13:37.520 or any of his books, but this, but it really is Orwellian. There's no other real word to describe

00:13:42.180 it. The way that racial equality has now become synonymous with the very thing that those who,

00:13:50.180 um, were fighting for racial equality historically, we're trying to get rid of. 1.00

00:13:54.880 Which would be segregation. Now in more, um, racial insanity news, the Atlantic surprisingly

00:14:03.880 enough has an editorial about the BLM indoctrination happening in our schools.

00:14:09.160 And the article is titled what happens when a slogan becomes curriculum.

00:14:14.520 And it starts by saying last month, a public school district that serves mostly elementary

00:14:19.120 and middle school students in Evanston, Illinois held its third annual black lives matter at school

00:14:24.320 week of action using curriculum created in collaboration with black lives matter activists

00:14:28.620 and the local teachers union that introduces children as young as four and five to some of

00:14:32.840 America's most complex and controversial subjects. For example, parents of kindergartens and

00:14:37.060 kindergartners in district 65 were asked to spend time at home discussing a book on race

00:14:43.140 that teachers had read aloud to their children. Teachers had already read it aloud at the school.

00:14:47.900 And now, uh, parents are being asked to talk about this book at school. The book is called

00:14:53.200 not my idea, a book about whiteness. And it's, it's more anti white brainwashing. Um, this, 0.76

00:15:00.380 this book is being read by the way, to kids all over the country, not just in this one school district

00:15:04.420 to give you an idea of what's in it. I found a YouTube video of a guy, uh, reading the book.

00:15:11.060 And here's something that I found that appears towards the end of, um, of this book. And it's,

00:15:17.180 it's kind of interesting. Let's listen to it. Here it is because Anastasia Higginbotham is fun

00:15:22.120 and, and creates little things at the ends of her books. Here are some activities.

00:15:27.540 Want to know whose liberation you're fighting for your own white supremacy has been lying to kids

00:15:34.820 for centuries. White supremacy is pretend. The truth is much simpler. Dangerous. 0.98

00:15:44.520 Not dangerous. Whiteness is a bad deal. It always was. All right. Here's a contract binding you to 1.00

00:15:53.000 whiteness. You get stolen land, stolen riches, special favors. And then there's a little footnote

00:15:58.720 that says land, riches, and favors may be revoked at any time for any reason. Whiteness gets to mess 1.00

00:16:04.800 endlessly with the lives of your friends, neighbors, loved ones, and all fellow humans of color for

00:16:10.480 the purpose of profit. The only price is your soul. Sign below. Dude, we can see your pointy tail.

00:16:19.380 Yeah. Who do you think is trying to make this deal? Mm-hmm. Not an angel. You can be white 1.00

00:16:27.920 without signing on to whiteness. Okay. So whiteness is a bad deal. And, uh, that's, that's the deal 0.89

00:16:35.720 that in this, again, this book, they're reading two kids goes without saying, but I'll say it again,

00:16:42.260 because I always say things that go without saying, um, that could be really be the name of

00:16:46.500 this show. It goes without saying. So it goes without saying, but, um, there's, there's no

00:16:54.480 universe in which they're reading a book called a book about blackness. And it contains a page that

00:17:01.860 says blackness is a bad deal. No universe. You can only do that with white people. Right. 1.00

00:17:08.040 But what is the, uh, what's, so what's the deal? They say, if you, if you sign on the contract and

00:17:13.720 you say, I want to be a part of whiteness, I'm a white, I'm a white person. Whiteness is a, that's,

00:17:18.560 that's what I want. You get stolen land, um, money and special favors. Sounds like a good deal. I mean, 0.54

00:17:30.080 I think I'll take it actually, if that's what you're offering me, sounds pretty good. I don't know

00:17:36.240 when I get to cash in, I I'm like a sucker. I'm paying for the land that I'm on. I haven't gotten 0.83

00:17:41.300 any of this stuff, but I'll take it. See, let's, let's, let's put aside for a moment. The fact

00:17:48.540 that this is totally nonsense. Um, and that this is the idea that this, this is what comes with being

00:17:53.600 white. And by the way, if, if we are all living on quote unquote stolen land, which we're not,

00:18:00.400 but if we are, then everybody in the country is too, not just white people.

00:18:06.240 It's that would mean black people also are, are living on stolen land. If I'm responsible for 1.00

00:18:10.900 stealing land, then so is my black neighbor because we're living in the same, literally on 0.97

00:18:16.340 the same street. Right. But let's put all that aside from it. What they're, what they're telling 0.93

00:18:21.160 us is that, well, you know, if you're, if you're white, you get all this privilege, you should turn

00:18:24.480 that down. Why should I, why should I turn it down? See, the problem is that the left, they've gotten

00:18:32.460 rid of any objective notion of morality. So they have no, they have no language for morality

00:18:37.700 anymore. So they can't even really explain why I shouldn't take that deal. You can say,

00:18:44.360 well, it's wrong. It says, who says it's wrong. You say it's wrong by your standard. That's not

00:18:49.220 my standard. I don't care about your standard. Well, but it hurts people. Why should I care

00:18:53.540 about that? Well, you should. Who says who? See, they've gotten rid of, by getting rid

00:19:01.600 of morality, they, they, they, they get rid of morality. And then they tell you, if you're

00:19:07.300 white, that you should sacrifice all of these wonderful perks that you allegedly get. Why

00:19:13.300 the hell should I sacrifice it? Now, you know what, until you can explain to me on a moral

00:19:17.320 basis, you want to bring objective morality back into this deal here. And you want to bring

00:19:22.120 that back into your worldview and we can, we can live in a culture that, that, that

00:19:25.060 is, that rests on objective morality, then fine. So that's a deal I'll make. That's my

00:19:30.060 deal. Bring objective morality back in. And then I will sacrifice all of these supposed

00:19:36.080 perks that I get, which will be easy because I don't have them in the first place. So I'll

00:19:39.260 hand them over. They don't exist. I'll hand over the empty bag with my white perks. And,

00:19:43.760 um, and that's a deal. I'll make that deal, that deal right there. But if you're, but

00:19:48.880 if, if, if, if we're going to, if you're going to keep objective morality out of the bargain,

00:19:53.140 then hell no, I'll take it all. Sounds great. Give me more, give me more, give me more privilege

00:20:01.240 for my whiteness. I love it. Why shouldn't I? Number two, a tweet from the U S army official

00:20:10.840 account. Um, and you know, probably in the army, they're reading this exact same book. I would

00:20:15.120 think, uh, here's the tweet from them a couple of days ago. It says extremism can tear apart

00:20:20.480 cohesive teams. Colonel Timothy, Timothy Holman is the army's chief diversity officer. And his aim

00:20:26.940 is clear. Do what he can to help open a path for future army leaders and make the force as diverse

00:20:32.240 as the nation it defends. So we have diversity. Now this is of course not a new phenomenon,

00:20:38.080 at least not new in the last couple of years, but, um, we have diversity officers in the army now,

00:20:43.580 and they, they want the, the, the force to be as diverse as a nation at defense. Why?

00:20:48.840 Why should the, why do you want the force to be as diverse as the nation at defense? If you were,

00:20:53.580 you know, if you're a, uh, a, a famous celebrity, you know, and you, you needed bodyguards around you

00:21:01.320 when you leave the house and you needed, you needed guards at your actual home. Are you going to worry

00:21:06.480 about them? Do you, are you gonna worry about them being diverse or do you just want the most

00:21:11.280 effective people who are going to do the best job of keeping you safe, regardless of what they look

00:21:15.680 like? Why should diverse, why should diversity matter anywhere? Why should it matter, especially 1.00

00:21:24.120 in the military, which prior to going insane was all about uniformity being an army of one.

00:21:31.920 They used to say, I don't even know if they have that slogan anymore. If they do have that slogan,

00:21:34.760 they have to get rid of it because you can't be an army of one. If diversity is the most important

00:21:38.440 thing, we want everyone to be an individual and express themselves. That was never the deal.

00:21:43.800 That was never the point. You want people to move and be as one unit, which requires uniformity,

00:21:50.480 which doesn't mean that everyone has to have the same skin color, but it does mean that

00:21:53.380 diversity cannot be your primary guiding principle. We're going to get to a point. And I think we're

00:22:00.840 there already where, um, conservatives are going to stop sending their kids into the military or 0.97

00:22:08.700 rather they're going to stop, uh, stop encouraging and start discouraging their kids from going into

00:22:14.460 the military. I mean, that that's going to happen. It's, it's already happening. You know, as much as I,

00:22:23.880 as much as it kind of pains me to say it, if, if my, you know, my son is not anywhere near old enough

00:22:28.800 yet, but if he was, if my son was 18 years old right now today, and he were to, when I get home

00:22:34.120 tonight, if he were to come up to me and say, Hey dad, you know, I'm thinking I want to join the

00:22:37.000 military. I would try to talk him out of it. I would try to talk him out. I wouldn't be able to

00:22:41.500 stop him. He's 18. He could do what he wants, but I would definitely try to talk him out of it

00:22:45.180 because you're going to go into the military and be subjected to this, be subjected to left-wing

00:22:51.160 brainwashing that you can't escape from, that you, that you don't have the right to even object to

00:22:57.500 in any public way. I mean, it's bad enough if it happens at work. Um, but at least there you have

00:23:04.380 the option. You can speak up. If you get fired, you get fired. You can quit. You can leave

00:23:08.520 and get another job. There's still a lot of risks involved there, but with the military,

00:23:13.780 if they're doing something you don't like, you can't just say, I'm done. I'm out of the military.

00:23:18.040 It's not that simple. So I would have to think as a, as a, a parent, as a conservative parent,

00:23:24.880 I would have to think, well, okay, my son's going to be subjected to this madness. Um, he's not going

00:23:30.400 to have the ability to really speak up against it or protest it. On top of that, you know, we have a

00:23:37.360 president right now who's using the military as a political prop, political pawns. They've

00:23:42.960 militarized the Capitol. Is my son going to be sent to do that? Or if not, that is going to be sent to

00:23:49.500 some far off country to die for, for, for, for the sake of spreading democracy to people who don't

00:23:55.160 want it. That's, you know, that's where my mind would be going. And I'd have to, I'd have to go

00:24:01.400 with, no, I don't, I don't think you should. If you do, I would respect it. I think it's an honorable

00:24:06.560 thing, but, um, I don't think you should. And I, and that's more and more. I think conservative

00:24:14.580 parents are saying that. And then what happens? Cause I'll tell you one thing, the left is not

00:24:20.380 going to supply enough manpower to the military to protect this nation. Not, not, not anywhere close

00:24:27.180 to that. So the military with this stuff, they are actively attacking and discouraging the very

00:24:37.500 group of people that they need. Conservative parents, conservative, patriotic families.

00:24:46.780 That's who supplies the military with its manpower. And right now their goal is to basically alienate

00:24:53.520 all of those people. Not a smart idea. Okay. Um, let's see here. Where are we?

00:25:01.420 Sharon Osbourne. Okay. Well, we'll play. So, so from, uh, from CNN, it has begun. You know,

00:25:08.140 we talked about this yesterday, the process to officially end Sharon Osbourne's career for 0.99

00:25:12.120 committing the sin of criticizing cancel culture. You know, after outrage, we talked about this

00:25:16.380 yesterday. She, she defended Piers Morgan who got fired for criticizing Meghan Markle and was accused

00:25:22.080 of being racist. And, and, uh, Sharon Osbourne spoke up during her talk show called the talk on CBS.

00:25:26.460 And she said, he's not racist. Um, and then because of this, they shut down production. They,

00:25:32.600 they, they, they, they, they're doing an investigation. And I said yesterday, she's done

00:25:37.040 like they're, they're going to, they're going to take her out now. Her career is over because of this. 0.53

00:25:42.680 And now it has started. Here's the report from CNN. It says the talk co-host Sharon Osbourne is

00:25:47.820 fighting back against accusations that she had used racist and homophobic language while speaking about

00:25:52.940 her former colleagues on the CBS talk show. The accusations were made Tuesday in a story written

00:25:57.320 by journalist Yashar Ali, citing former talk host Leah Remini, who spoke on the record in the piece

00:26:02.940 and a number of unnamed sources. And now they're, they're, um, drudging up all this stuff that she

00:26:10.580 supposedly said in the past, all these racist remarks and everything, but nobody was talking about this

00:26:14.760 before. Nobody cared about this before. Uh, and now we're going to now, right after Sharon Osbourne

00:26:22.480 expressed an opinion that the left doesn't like, now they're going to quote, hold her accountable

00:26:27.580 for all these racist things that she allegedly has been saying for years, allegedly. 0.98

00:26:33.640 And the worst thing is that they still, you know, they still act and play dumb and say, 0.98

00:26:37.620 what are you talking about? This is, this is just a story about people reporting things that 0.97

00:26:41.880 she's said over the last 20 years. Yeah. Why now though? You're doing this now to punish her

00:26:47.920 for disagreeing with you and you know, it, and that's cancel culture.

00:26:54.080 So what we're looking at after Sharon Osbourne loses her job, which she certainly will probably

00:26:57.940 by some, some point today, uh, maybe, you know, at some point today, it'll be announced if not

00:27:02.360 tomorrow that she's, she's gone. Uh, and when, when she's gone, that's going to be three talk shows,

00:27:07.460 three prominent hosts or TV hosts anyway, who've lost their job over the last couple of weeks

00:27:12.640 for criticizing cancel culture, Sharon Osbourne, Chris Harrison of the bachelor and, uh, Pierce

00:27:16.740 Morgan, three of them in like three weeks lose their jobs for criticizing cancel culture.

00:27:24.680 And yet cancel culture doesn't exist. We'll be told. Remember that in an interview with

00:27:29.340 entertainment tonight, um, Sharon Osbourne addressed these claims that are being made. Well, not so much

00:27:35.060 the, the racism claims, but she, she, she addressed the controversy trying to defend herself some more.

00:27:39.600 And, uh, here's what she said. Sharon said what unfolded on air felt like a betrayal from her co-hosts

00:27:45.800 after a pact they made in February. There was a situation in February. Carrie Ann was given a

00:27:51.880 question to ask Elaine and Carrie Ann didn't want to ask it, but it came from the producers to ask Elaine. 0.58

00:27:58.140 And it was, if black people can use the N-word, why can't white people use the N-word? 0.81

00:28:06.280 I would love to hear what you have to say. 0.93

00:28:07.520 Which is a very naive question to ask. We all know why.

00:28:13.680 So Elaine got very upset with her response. Carrie Ann started to cry. So we agreed we would

00:28:20.880 never be, surprise each other with questions if we thought the other one hadn't been prepped.

00:28:27.760 And we said, we will never put ourselves in this situation again where we set each other up. So we

00:28:34.800 all agreed as women, got your back. I finished saying what I'm saying. And then Cheryl asked me

00:28:42.020 these questions, which I didn't know. And they were written questions. And then Elaine's reading her

00:28:47.860 questions. Stand up for anti-racism. And I'm like, I've been set up. Don't try and cry because if

00:28:56.740 anyone should be crying, it should be me. And I went like, how dare you all do this to me? I'm your

00:29:07.300 sacrificial lamb. So that's her defense. And not that she needs to defend herself. What she was saying

00:29:16.500 in her original comments that started all the controversy. There's nothing wrong with any of

00:29:22.540 it. So she doesn't have to defend herself. But her defense is pretty good. She could be lying about 1.00

00:29:27.940 all that, but it sounds like a pretty credible story. And she's saying, look, they sprung this on

00:29:34.160 me. And they know that we don't do that on this show. And that's something in general when you're on

00:29:40.600 a show together. Even if they didn't have a pact originally, you know you don't. If you're doing a

00:29:46.260 show with someone, someone's a co-host and you know you have a difficult question, it's going to be

00:29:48.740 difficult for them. You don't spring it on them on the air, right? And so that's what she was upset

00:29:53.180 about. Perfectly rational defense. But here's the problem. It doesn't matter, first of all.

00:29:59.820 There's no defense. And the reaction to this online, to that interview with Entertainment Tonight,

00:30:05.960 the reaction from the cancel mob and from the left, one and the same, of course, is, but oh,

00:30:11.300 well, no, she's trying to make herself the victim, huh? Yeah, she is the victim. Who else is the 0.89

00:30:15.820 victim? What, her co-hosts who are still going to have a job and are perfectly fine? They're the

00:30:21.220 victim because they had to listen to her opinion? If there's any victim here, yeah, I guess it's her.

00:30:26.040 She'll be fine. She's worth $200 million. But even so, she's the one who's going to lose her job. 0.75

00:30:31.160 And she's the social pariah. So yeah, she's the victim. Not anybody else on that stage.

00:30:36.160 But it doesn't matter because they're not going to listen. And also, you already apologized,

00:30:42.820 Sharon Osborne. She already apologized and gave the, she issued the statement saying this and that,

00:30:49.620 and I'm so sorry and everything. Too late. Too late to defend yourself. Why did you apologize at all

00:30:57.240 if you have a rational explanation, which of course you do? Because again, you didn't do anything wrong

00:31:00.940 to begin with. She should have come out from the very beginning and said, you know what?

00:31:05.520 This is BS. I didn't say anything wrong. These people sprung this on me. They know what they

00:31:12.100 did. They're the bad guys here. I don't care what any of you people think. They know what they did.

00:31:17.740 Should have said that, but you can't, you can't do both. You can't kind of apologize tearfully and

00:31:22.780 also try to defend yourself. That doesn't work. You already admitted guilt. Too late. Too late.

00:31:28.780 All right. Number five, huge news here from the New York Daily News. Big, big stuff. Huge,

00:31:33.480 huge headline news. There's a gay Captain America on the way. The Daily News reports Marvel Comics

00:31:40.760 is celebrating the 80th anniversary of Captain America with a gay teen superhero. The publishing

00:31:46.440 company said in a press release that its newest hero, Aaron Fisher, is making his debut on June 20th,

00:31:51.160 or rather June 2nd. He'll be featured in a new limited series titled The United States of Captain

00:31:55.760 America. The series will feature the original Captain America, Steve Rogers, tipping up with

00:32:00.000 Captain Americas of the past, including Bucky Barnes, Sam Wilson, and John Walker, traveling

00:32:07.180 across America to find his stolen shield. And they're going to find all these other Captain

00:32:11.060 Americas. Or rather, I think it should be Captain's America. Find these other Captain's America.

00:32:16.400 And one of them is going to be this, this gay teenager. And again, big groundbreaking. This 0.81

00:32:21.280 news article says it's groundbreaking to have a gay character, right? No, you, speaking of not having 1.00

00:32:28.000 it both ways, you didn't know, it's not groundbreaking anymore to have gay characters where there's a lot

00:32:32.600 of those all over the place. And so it's, it is no longer historic or groundbreaking or new or

00:32:38.940 anything. It's just totally normal. It's what everyone expects. Um, so they're going to have the

00:32:46.740 gay Captain America. The thing is when I first saw this story pop up on, on Twitter, I really thought 0.97

00:32:52.100 it was a joke. I kind of skimmed over. I didn't see that. I didn't see who wrote the headline because

00:32:56.580 they show the image of what this gay Captain America is going to look like. And he looks like 0.99

00:33:02.780 a gay Captain America that somebody would make up to make fun of the idea of having a gay Captain 0.99

00:33:10.840 America. And yet it's, it's for real. And the other issue, um, that I would say is when I heard about 0.80

00:33:19.880 this, I thought, okay, gay Captain America. I thought, I thought Captain Planet was already sort 0.99

00:33:26.980 of a gay Captain America. I thought that was his role. Apparently I was wrong. All right, let's move 1.00

00:33:33.140 on to reading the YouTube comments. Liam Wall says, Matt, uh, says Matt seems like the kind of guy who

00:33:38.520 could handle himself in a knife fight. I like to think I can, but please don't call my bluff on that

00:33:43.920 one. Mama G says, Matt, please make your own brand of beard care products so I can buy them for my

00:33:49.560 husband's beard. His is fine, but yours is great. Well, I appreciate that. It'd be, it'd bring great

00:34:01.040 shame and disgrace to your husband if he knew that you were, um, looking at another man's beard, 0.53

00:34:05.520 though. I have to say, uh, let's see. It says another comment says, Matt, I don't quite get it.

00:34:12.920 Sure. Praise Ellen page for being a gay white woman, but the transition without the change in 0.99

00:34:17.180 sexual preference only makes her a straight white male. Something we're supposed to criticize, 1.00

00:34:21.180 not praise seriously, Elliot go home. You've made yourself irrelevant. Yeah. Well, this is the,

00:34:25.840 this is of course is the, uh, one of the many contradictions that you get with left-wing gender

00:34:30.300 theory with, especially with their, their theories on sexual orientation and how those interact with

00:34:35.460 their theories on gender, uh, because they say that sexual orientation is immutable and cannot be

00:34:39.900 changed. Milo Yiannopoulos says that he's not a gay man anymore. And they say that's impossible.

00:34:45.040 You know, once gay, always gay. You can never be, it's, it's ingrained within you. You get, 0.91

00:34:49.220 it's not a choice. Well, yeah, but if I can change my gender, that means I can change my orientation.

00:34:55.620 No way around that. If you're saying that, cause you, you, you think it's that you as someone on

00:35:02.400 the left, you can simply declare that Milo Yiannopoulos is still gay, even if he says he

00:35:06.480 isn't. Yeah. But if he became a woman, which he can do, um, and was attracted to men, now he's 0.60

00:35:14.080 straight. His sexual orientation changed by your logic from gay to straight. If he's really a woman 0.86

00:35:21.680 now attracted to men, then that means that he is really a straight woman because he's attracted to

00:35:26.820 men. No way around it. But of course there's so many logical contradictions and, uh, their way of

00:35:35.440 navigating it is to simply ignore it. And that's all. Finally, Dan says, Matt, just checking if

00:35:41.600 you're going to get a stimmy check, hope to hear back. Um, first of all, I, I'm not even going to

00:35:48.420 answer that question. You know how I feel about the stimulus welfare payments, um, which are being

00:35:54.420 issued for no good reason whatsoever, but calling it a stimmy, I am not on board with this. I am not

00:36:02.820 okay with it. Nobody ever consulted me. We all decided to start calling the stimulus checks, a stimmy,

00:36:09.560 a stimmy. You're a grown man, presumably calling it a stimmy. This thing where, and I think this is

00:36:18.720 one of the great, one of the great crises, one of the great threats that we face as a culture where

00:36:21.760 we're grown adults, even men are shortening words by adding an E sound to the end. So like veggie,

00:36:29.140 comfy, stimmy. It's, it is disgraceful. My children don't even speak that way. Okay. My oldest kids

00:36:38.360 are seven. They don't even talk that way. If my kids were, can I have some veggies? I would say

00:36:43.780 vegetables. You mean use the whole word. Doesn't take a lot more effort. Then you hear grown men

00:36:49.680 at Applebee's saying, yeah, can I get the, can I get the steak with some veggies? Can I get some

00:36:54.900 veggies with the steak, please? With my steaky. Oh, this chair is really comfy. Glad I could buy all

00:37:00.360 this with my stimmy check. Pathetic. Horrible. Anyone who says stimmy check, they should immediately 0.99

00:37:09.620 have their check revoked. That's my take on that. You know, there's nothing better than waking up

00:37:15.820 after the alarm goes off and you've had a deep and restful sleep. There's nothing better than that.

00:37:21.740 And then nothing worse than the realization that you have to face another day in this cruel and

00:37:25.540 heartless world. But forget about that. Let's focus on the sleep. Helix Sleep has a quiz that 0.88

00:39:17.120 daily cancellation. So today on St. Patrick's Day, it falls to me as a man of Irish ancestry to speak

00:39:25.740 up on behalf of my people. I'm afraid I must inform you that if you are not Irish, then you are not 0.95

00:39:34.400 permitted to take part in today's festivities. If you're wearing green, you must remove the offending

00:39:38.020 articles of clothing at once. Do not drink green beer. Do not wear a four-leaf clover pin. Do not

00:39:42.740 make any references to leprechauns or other mythical Irish creatures. Do not eat corned beef and cabbage.

00:39:47.880 Certainly don't eat Lucky Charms just in general because Lucky Charms tastes like little chunks of

00:39:52.020 packaging styrofoam coated in sweet and low, but also because it's offensive. My culture is not a

00:39:57.620 breakfast cereal. The fact is that to do any of the things that I just listed is to appropriate

00:40:02.860 my Irish identity and culture. It is to degrade and cheapen the lived experience of the Irish and 1.00

00:40:09.940 to trivialize the historical marginalization and persecution we have suffered and to fetishize

00:40:16.940 our identity. By attempting to celebrate alongside us, you will be committing an act of unfathomable,

00:40:24.600 unspeakable bigotry. Now you may point out that non-Irish people who celebrate St. Patrick's Day

00:40:30.740 are obviously appreciating Irish culture, not stealing it. In fact, when I warned about the 0.99

00:40:35.160 dangers of Irish appropriation on Twitter last night, the embassy of Ireland, yes, the actual

00:40:39.100 embassy of Ireland, responded from their official account, taking my tweet entirely seriously,

00:40:43.900 which is great because it was serious, of course, and declared that anyone is welcome to celebrate

00:40:47.880 St. Patrick's Day. It's appreciation, not appropriation, they said. But this is a case of

00:40:52.280 internalized Irish phobia, I'm afraid to say. I mean, surely we all know that the appreciation,

00:40:57.620 not appropriation line wouldn't fly in any other context. If the Irish embassy defended white

00:41:01.940 people who wear dreads on the basis that it's appreciation, not appropriation, they would be

00:41:05.620 condemned as racist. We all know that. And so I am condemning the Irish embassy as racist against

00:41:12.600 themselves, which you really hate to see. Now, you might also argue that St. Patrick's Day isn't

00:41:18.300 solely an Irish holiday. After all, St. Patrick himself wasn't even Irish. He was kidnapped by Irish 1.00

00:41:24.240 pirates and forced to live in Ireland as a slave. I mean, he was himself appropriated, you might say.

00:41:30.440 Also, many of the traditions associated with St. Patrick's Day have developed over time and not

00:41:34.680 just in Ireland. You could argue that St. Patrick's Day, as we know it, is more American than it is

00:41:39.720 Irish at this point. You could argue all of that. But the problem is that white people who wear dreads 0.99

00:41:44.360 are accused of appropriating from black people, even though black people didn't invent dreads and 0.67

00:41:48.620 weren't the first ones to wear them. Kendall Jenner was accused of appropriating tequila for Mexicans 1.00

00:41:53.020 when she started her own tequila brand, even though native Mexicans didn't invent tequila. 0.97

00:41:58.180 This is a common theme among appropriation claims. The people who are allegedly being appropriated

00:42:02.540 from are not the unique originators of the appropriated thing. Yet it's still appropriation

00:42:08.240 in those cases somehow, just as it is in this case. Now, most of all, in objecting to my claim

00:42:13.160 that St. Patrick's Day is being appropriated, you might insist that the whole concept simply makes

00:42:17.560 no sense whatsoever. A holiday isn't a car or a bicycle or $50 in your wallet. It can't be stolen.

00:42:24.020 Styles can't be stolen. Cuisine can't be stolen. To use a popular phrase, these are social

00:42:28.780 constructs. Another person's participation in such a construct does not hinder your ability

00:42:34.100 to participate in it. You are not deprived in any way. Nobody's peeing in your pint of Guinness just

00:42:40.020 by celebrating the holiday. Unless they're literally peeing in your pint of Guinness, which

00:42:43.560 would be a whole new issue to deal with. Anyway, you might say all of this about St. Patrick's

00:42:49.080 Day, and you might even be right. But sadly, none of those excuses work when it comes to

00:42:54.180 non-white cultures, so I will have to insist that it doesn't work here. And the fact is 1.00

00:42:58.720 clear. If you celebrate St. Patrick's Day today, you are directly victimizing me. The

00:43:05.000 trauma that I feel from your St. Patrick's Day celebration is hard to put into words, maybe

00:43:11.260 because it doesn't exist, or maybe because it's so indescribably painful. As a person

00:43:18.340 of Irish descent, a PID we call ourselves, which when added to the acronym for Black and Indigenous

00:43:22.980 People of Color becomes PIDBIPOC, LGBT. As such a person, when I see pictures on social media 1.00

00:43:31.560 of non-Irish individuals eating Lucky Charms or drinking green beer, I mean, I can't express 0.99

00:43:38.600 the pain in a way that fully captures the totality of my emotional experience.

00:43:46.940 Now, do I think that you should have your life ruined for celebrating St. Patrick's Day? Do I

00:43:50.700 think that you should be labeled a bigot and cast out of society for it? Yes, I do. It's the only way.

00:43:55.960 The only way. But remember, even as I advocate for completely disproportionate penalties against

00:44:01.340 you for doing something totally innocuous and innocent, the real victim is me. Please consider

00:44:06.580 my feelings in all of this. It doesn't matter if my feelings are unreasonable. You should be

00:44:11.420 required to accommodate them anyway. After all, I'm the Irish one here. Well, part Irish. A certain 0.92

00:44:18.180 percentage. Never mind that. I'm claiming victimhood based on my membership in a group, but never mind

00:44:22.620 the question of whether I really belong to that group in any meaningful way. Those are racist

00:44:26.940 questions to ask. It's racist to ask that of Meghan Markle, just as it's racist to ask it of me.

00:44:32.400 It is racist to defy me or question me at all as I am the victim. Do as I say. That's the best way

00:44:38.120 that you could celebrate St. Patrick's Day if you must. By bowing before me and submitting yourself

00:44:42.680 utterly to my every whim. Maybe if you do that, maybe, I can finally find peace and healing.

00:44:49.080 And that's what really should be most important to you. So in conclusion, needless to say,

00:44:55.960 anybody who is not Irish and celebrates St. Patrick's Day today is canceled and should be 1.00

00:45:00.740 thrown immediately into the sea and drowned. Happy St. Patrick's Day. We'll leave it there for today. 0.99

00:45:08.300 Have a great day. Godspeed.
