The Matt Walsh Show - Ep. 681 - Everything Is White Supremacy

00:00:00.000 Today on the Matt Wall Show, two black teens burned a white man to death and the media all but 0.75

00:00:04.780 completely ignored the story. Meanwhile, an attack on massage parlors in Atlanta is being

00:00:08.500 desperately linked to white supremacy despite a total lack of evidence for the connection.

00:00:12.240 Plus, five headlines, including the State Department battling the scourge of entrenched

00:00:16.160 whiteness, Ron DeSantis battling the much more serious scourge of critical race theory,

00:00:20.460 and a GoFundMe for Prince Harry and Meghan Markle somehow fails to gain traction. I don't know how.

00:00:25.240 And our daily cancellation will deal with an article in the Scientific American which tries

00:00:28.480 to debunk the case for banning males from female sports. Does it succeed in debunking it? We'll

00:00:34.140 find that out today and so much more on the Matt Wall Show. This past June, a woman named Althea

00:00:45.560 Bernstein claimed that she was set on fire by four white men while waiting at a stoplight in the

00:00:50.620 middle of downtown Madison, Wisconsin at 1 a.m. She said the assailants who happened to be in standing

00:00:55.500 in the middle of the street with all the necessary materials for whatever reason, doused her with

00:00:59.240 lighter fluid, and then threw a lighter into the car. You know, like they do in the movies where

00:01:03.140 they throw a lighter and then something lights on fire. It doesn't really work with most lighters in

00:01:08.320 real life, but that's what she said, and it set her face on fire. Somehow, she was left only with a few

00:01:12.960 splotchy burns on one side of her face after her face being on fire. One would expect a bit more 0.94

00:01:17.700 visible damage from having her whole face set ablaze. One would also expect that four flame-throwing 0.91

00:01:23.160 murderous white guys attempting to burn people alive in the middle of the city would attract the

00:01:26.800 attention of at least a few witnesses, not to mention security cameras, but the alleged men

00:01:31.900 and the alleged attack was witnessed by no one, and no evidence of the assailants appeared on any camera

00:01:36.320 anywhere in the city. There was also no trace of burn marks or accelerant in the vehicle she was driving

00:01:41.220 when she was supposedly set on fire. So police investigated the hate crime claim and eventually

00:01:45.820 closed the case because they could not find a single shred of evidence to substantiate it.

00:01:49.480 Althea's attackers vanished into the night, much like Jussie Smollett's attackers and the

00:01:54.780 terrorists who hung a rope in Bubba Wallace's garage. It's almost as though they never existed

00:02:00.060 at all. But despite the fact that this event, as reported by Bernstein, was almost certainly a hoax

00:02:04.720 and had all the hallmarks of a hoax from the very beginning, still it made headlines. As you'd expect,

00:02:10.140 the races of the victim and her probably imaginary attackers were front and center in the headlines.

00:02:14.500 The headlines only disappeared once it became clear that the story was turning into an embarrassment

00:02:19.560 for those who hyped it up to begin with. Now, I bring this case up now again because it provides

00:02:25.460 an interesting contrast. Consider now the case of Stephen Ammonhauser, 53 years old, mentally ill,

00:02:31.720 now dead after being brutally murdered last week. Two black teenagers, Zavion Perry and Adriel Riley

00:02:37.500 Junior, ages 16 and 14, have been charged with entering his home and setting him on fire.

00:02:45.480 According to police, they watched him burn for a little bit before leaving. The victim was eventually

00:02:50.160 found, transported to a hospital where he succumbed to his burns after a couple of days.

00:02:54.900 He suffered what is quite literally the most painful death possible. No motive has been given for the crime

00:03:02.160 and there's no indication that hate crime charges are even being considered at this point.

00:03:06.960 Which doesn't mean that there's no evidence that it was a hate crime. It just means that

00:03:10.160 they're not considering right now calling it that. I ask you, have you heard about this case? I mean,

00:03:16.120 heard about it somewhere besides from me right now or one of the other hosts or our website?

00:03:21.980 And if you did hear about it, did you hear about the races of the people involved?

00:03:25.480 Almost certainly not. A search on Google turns up a few articles about this crime, which didn't sound like

00:03:30.860 this happened 10 years ago. It happened just last week. But nothing, I mean nothing, in any mainstream

00:03:36.400 outlet mentioning the racial dichotomy. Is that because the media has decided that race is now

00:03:41.980 irrelevant in violent crime? Well, we know that's certainly not the case. All we have to do is look

00:03:47.160 at the other tragic event of the past week, which happened when a man walked into massage parlors in

00:03:53.280 Atlanta and murdered eight people. The killer is white. Six of the victims were Asian. Two were white. 0.95

00:04:00.860 Now here, it would be hard to find headlines that don't mention the races of those involved

00:04:05.180 and expressly draw a connection between race and the crime. We're told that this is the result of

00:04:11.420 white supremacy, that the killer was a white supremacist, one of many out to kill Asians. 0.97

00:04:17.400 The only problem is that there is no evidence of that. Here's a police spokesman yesterday telling us 0.94

00:04:22.720 what they know about the motive at this point. Listen.

00:04:25.660 The suspect did take responsibility for the shootings. He said that early on, once we began the interviews

00:04:33.160 with him. He claims that these, and as the chief said, this is still early, but he does claim that it

00:04:39.600 was not racially motivated. He apparently has an issue, what he considers a sex fiction, and sees these

00:04:46.740 locations as something that allows him to go to these places. And it's a temptation for him that he wanted

00:04:54.780 to eliminate. Like I said, it's still early on, but those were comments that he made.

00:05:01.420 Did he discuss any kind of religious motivation for this, or was he responsible?

00:05:05.960 Not that I'm aware of. Not that I'm aware of.

00:05:07.620 Or political?

00:05:08.880 None political. I've heard nothing about politics.

00:05:11.140 Well, that's what he says. Now, typically, the person who commits the act is a pretty good

00:05:20.040 authority on what their motivation was. Also, typically, if someone is, and we know this from

00:05:25.880 past events, mass killings and so on, attacks that are racially or ethnically motivated, oftentimes the

00:05:32.300 person who does it, for those reasons, is happy to tell you that that was the reason. 0.89

00:05:35.400 So, by all accounts, it sounds like this was a lunatic motivated by sexual rage and jealousy.

00:05:42.300 Could still turn out that there was more to it than that, but that's what we know right now. 0.97

00:05:46.240 That would explain why he killed both Asian and white women. 0.96

00:05:50.580 The disappointment from the left to the news that this was not racially motivated, as far

00:05:55.500 as we know, has been palpable. For many of them, from what it seems, the tragedy is not

00:06:00.160 that humans died, but that the crime isn't useful to their narrative.

00:06:03.820 I mean, the media is downright excited by, happy about violent crime committed by white 1.00

00:06:09.040 men. I mean, they are happy about it. They like it. They can barely contain their glee. 0.96

00:06:14.300 In their minds, humans are not anything but props, anyway. They have no value. None of us

00:06:20.780 have value to the media outside of our political usefulness. And that's why there was a mad rush

00:06:25.280 to declare this crime not only racially motivated, but part of a trend, an epidemic, a pandemic

00:06:30.140 of whiteness, as the website The Root put it. Sure, the facts don't fit with this narrative,

00:06:34.560 but so what? Facts can be manipulated, ignored, invented, lied about, as we have seen.

00:06:39.620 As for the real facts, it must be noted that, yes, there has been a rise in violent crime

00:06:44.120 against Asians. But much of that has come at the hands of non-white people. A lot of violence 0.99

00:06:50.000 against Asians is committed by black men. It's just a fact. Anti-Asian sentiment has been 1.00

00:06:56.140 a problem in the black community for a long time. And you don't have to take my word for 1.00

00:06:59.720 it. It's not just me telling you that. The left-wing media admits this. But of course,

00:07:04.220 they put the blame elsewhere. So take this headline from Vox on Tuesday, echoing a common

00:07:08.840 talking point that you see all over social media and the media right now. Their headline

00:07:13.340 is, The History of Tensions and Solidarity Between Black and Asian American Communities

00:07:18.060 Explained. And then the subtitle, How White Supremacy Tried to Divide Black and Asian Americans

00:07:24.320 and How Communities Work to Find Common Ground. Okay, so acknowledging these tensions, but these

00:07:31.960 tensions between the two non-white groups of people are the fault of, you guessed it, white 0.66

00:07:36.820 people, of course. Well, that's easy to determine when everything is the fault of white people. 0.97

00:07:44.860 You know, I wonder if this is the fault of white people, too. In February, an Asian woman 0.99

00:07:49.520 in Milwaukee was tortured, raped, beaten, and killed in a park in broad daylight. She was apparently

00:07:56.260 hanging out in the park, laying on a blanket in the park. And next thing you know, she's being

00:08:02.060 taken, tortured, raped, and beaten. Two black teenagers were arrested for that crime. Now, 0.99

00:08:06.960 there's another story that you probably didn't hear about. And if you did hear about it, most likely

00:08:10.560 not what the race has highlighted or mentioned at all. Liz Plank, an MSNBC contributor, tweeted in

00:08:16.500 response to the massage parlor killings. She said, white masculinity fetishizes and dehumanizes Asian 1.00

00:08:22.740 women, and it is intrinsically tied to racism. It's crucial that we don't erase the way that 1.00

00:08:27.720 misogyny and racism operate together to justify killing Asian women. Now, I haven't checked, 0.94

00:08:33.940 admittedly, but I feel rather certain, and I will eat my words if I'm wrong, I feel rather certain that

00:08:39.500 she never said anything about black masculinity dehumanizing and fetishizing Asian women in response

00:08:44.980 to the rape and murder of Miss Leah Milwaukee. You know, the media has its villains, and also 0.93

00:08:52.060 its good guys. Every story is already written. It's only a matter of making reality fit into the boxes

00:08:59.700 that they have set up for it. Whatever can't be fit is simply discarded or denied. As they say,

00:09:06.680 when you're a hammer, everything looks like a nail. Well, when you're the American media,

00:09:10.080 everything looks like white supremacy. And whatever doesn't look like it doesn't exist.

00:09:16.360 Now, let's get to our five headlines.

00:09:25.180 You know, it could not be more important than it is right now to support companies that have our

00:09:30.420 values and our morals and support us in the culture. And one company that I'm always telling

00:09:35.160 you about, of course, is Charity Mobile. And I tell you about them because I use Charity Mobile,

00:09:40.520 and they really are a great company. They're the pro-life phone company because 5% of your monthly

00:09:44.860 plan price goes to the pro-life, pro-family charity of your choice. A lot of other perks

00:09:49.240 on top of that. You get new activations, eligible accounts, get a free cell phone

00:09:52.680 with free activation and free shipping. There's no contract, no termination fees. And that means that

00:09:58.440 they're not getting you locked into anything. You might as well try it out, see if you like the

00:10:01.680 service. I think you will. You're also going to like that they have live customer service based

00:10:05.800 right here in the USA. You have the ability to block use of cellular data, picture messages,

00:10:10.620 text messages on any or all of your accounts. So you get that extra security for your kids,

00:10:15.000 especially. And on top of all of that, the free apps to monitor your usage and everything else,

00:10:20.300 you're also helping to build a culture of life in America while supporting a pro-life phone company

00:10:24.480 who could turn everyday living into effortless giving for the charity of your choice with

00:10:29.080 Charity Mobile. What you got to do is call them at 1-877-474-3662 or chat with them online at

00:10:35.520 charitymobile.com. The House just passed this resolution to give congressional gold medals to

00:10:42.760 the Capitol Police for their courage in the face of the, quote, insurrection, which is how the

00:10:50.080 resolution phrases it, calling it an insurrection. And it was voted and approved by almost everyone

00:10:58.940 with the exception of 12 Republicans who said that they're not going to vote for this. And of course,

00:11:03.120 now they're being, well, how dare you? The leftists are pretending to be offended that these 12

00:11:11.500 Republicans allegedly aren't supporting the police. Well, how could you not? These are the police,

00:11:16.400 back the blue. Thomas Massey, one of the congressmen who voted against the measure,

00:11:22.680 explained his reasoning. And he said, one of the big reasons is that they call it an insurrection.

00:11:27.680 You know, we have this official document calling it insurrection while we're in the middle of criminal

00:11:33.720 cases tied to this event. And so I don't want to, I don't want to be involved in that.

00:11:40.740 Call it something else because that can be prejudicial. Call it something else and I'll

00:11:44.900 vote for it. That's a very, it's a very good reason not to vote for it. The other reason not to vote for

00:11:49.640 it is that this is, of course, we know entirely political. The Capitol Police, these are the only

00:11:56.560 police officers in the country that the Democrats have ever shown any support for. They just now

00:12:04.140 have discovered their great passion for, you know, protecting law enforcement and supporting law

00:12:10.580 enforcement, but only those law enforcement officers who were there on that particular day.

00:12:18.020 Really what the Republicans, so it's all a charade. It's all a political charade, obviously.

00:12:21.720 And of course, most Republicans are too stupid to see that or too cowardly to do anything about it. 1.00

00:12:27.640 So they go along, they go right along with it because they're afraid if they vote against it, 1.00

00:12:31.580 they know the media is going to be mad at us and they're going to be mad at you no matter what you

00:12:34.820 do. It's obviously a political charade. The point is not to give the medals to the police officers.

00:12:40.480 The point is to call it an insurrection again. That's entirely political.

00:12:44.620 Why would you go along with it knowing that?

00:12:49.400 What I'd like to see the Republicans do, if they had any spine, they'd pass a resolution to give

00:12:55.780 or put together a resolution to give congressional gold medals to all the police officers across the

00:13:01.560 country who defended our cities from BLM terrorists and call them that in the resolution. 0.52

00:13:08.420 Of course, the only problem is that in so many cases, the police did not defend the cities

00:13:12.220 from the BLM terrorists, but instead sat back and let it all happen. But even so. 0.76

00:13:18.280 All right, let's go. That wasn't my number one. What's my number one here from the Daily Wire?

00:13:22.080 The Department of Defense is not the only cabinet level agency undergoing a woke makeover. According 0.53

00:13:27.040 to Politico, the State Department is also wrestling with its identity and racing to address a 232 year

00:13:33.200 history of, quote, entrenched whiteness. Politico reports that Anthony Blinken's State Department

00:13:40.320 is racing to address a 232 year old problem, the overwhelming and entrenched whiteness of the 1.00

00:13:45.340 nation's oldest government agency. The department's 23,000 or so American staff may be the global face

00:13:52.660 of America, but they don't look like it. And the gap is growing, not shrinking by many metrics.

00:13:57.540 Though 40 percent of the American population is from a racial or ethnic minority, only 13 percent of

00:14:02.220 the department's senior executive services are people of color. And so this is a big problem. 1.00

00:14:07.700 We have to do something about, you know what? I agree. It's a big problem. I think that

00:14:12.260 all the white people in the State Department should step down. In fact, I think that

00:14:16.760 all of the white people in Biden's government should do the right thing and step down all,

00:14:21.100 including himself. Entrenched whiteness is a big, big problem. I agree. If you really cared about it, 1.00

00:14:28.720 these are white people, again, including Biden, trying to supposedly address the problem of 0.94

00:14:36.140 entrenched whiteness, whatever the hell that is. Seems like you should probably, as Michael 0.98

00:14:42.580 Jackson would say, start with the man in the mirror. Look at yourself. I think that's the best

00:14:48.520 thing Joe Biden could do. He could, you know, hold a press conference today and realize and say,

00:14:54.560 listen, we've had almost nothing but white men as president and it's too much and it's wrong.

00:15:02.420 And so I'm going to step down and resign. If he really cared, that's what he would do.

00:15:08.440 Of course, I say that I would want him to do that, but then we'd end up with Kamala Harris. So I'm not

00:15:11.680 sure how much better that would really be. And we already have really President Kamala Harris. So I

00:15:16.020 guess it would be sort of a lateral move. Anyway, more diversity news. Governor Newsom has,

00:15:21.900 in California, has pledged to nominate a black woman to replace Senator Feinstein if she retires. Now,

00:15:27.640 it doesn't look like Senator Feinstein is retiring, but if she does, here's what Newsom says he will

00:15:34.640 do. Let's watch. Okay. We are out of time, out of time, out of time. I have to go to a break,

00:15:38.160 but I have to, this is a yes or no answer that you could give me. If in fact, Dianne Feinstein

00:15:42.440 were to retire, will you nominate an African-American woman to restore the seat that Kamala Harris is no 1.00

00:15:51.280 longer in the United States Senate? And do you have a name in mind? I have multiple names in mind.

00:15:56.800 We have multiple names in mind, and the answer is yes. The answer is yes. This clearly,

00:16:04.700 obviously, should be illegal. I mean, it should be illegal to declare ahead of time

00:16:11.200 what race you're looking for, for a particular job.

00:16:18.280 It is illegal, actually, at least in the private sector.

00:16:23.300 You shouldn't be able to do that. That's discrimination.

00:16:28.940 You're declaring ahead of time that you're discriminating against anyone who does not fall

00:16:33.820 into this particular group. So that should be illegal to do that. On top of the fact that,

00:16:40.700 obviously, it's, on top of being discriminatory, it's also infantilizing. The left, as we know,

00:16:48.300 doesn't care about this. But if he's saying this ahead of time, and then you are the black woman who 0.94

00:16:56.480 gets nominated for the seat, you know that a big part of the reason is only because of the color of

00:17:02.420 your skin and your gender. You know that. He said it. I know if it were me, I would be kind of

00:17:11.060 insulted by that. I would want to at least think that my achievements and my talent, that's the

00:17:15.940 reason I got the position or nominated for the position. But he's saying ahead of time, that's

00:17:21.100 not it. We're not taking that. That's not the first thing we're looking at. So I'm not nominating

00:17:26.220 you. I'm nominating your skin pigmentation and your genitals. That's what I'm nominating. 1.00

00:17:32.120 Because that's what I'm making this decision based on.

00:17:35.600 Seems pretty insulting to me. Also sounds pretty dehumanizing, actually.

00:17:40.260 All right. Number two, the IRS is planning to delay. This is a good news, I guess, to delay the

00:17:46.440 tax deadline to May 50th. Actually, I think May 17th they're delaying it too.

00:17:50.100 So usually, obviously, April 15th, you got an extra month, which is nice. But my thing

00:17:58.380 is they should delay it until never. That's what it should be. It should be delayed until

00:18:02.420 never. There really shouldn't be any income tax at all. But especially right now, if you're

00:18:09.800 worried about helping Americans who've been affected by the pandemic, if you want them to

00:18:13.500 have more money in their pockets so they can go out and put it into the economy, then that's

00:18:18.220 what you would do. But what does it tell you, as I brought up before, what does it tell you

00:18:24.440 that through the last year, Republicans and Democrats, all of our politicians coming up

00:18:31.320 with ideas of how can we stimulate the economy, how can we help people get through this and

00:18:36.580 all of that, nobody even really suggested suspending the income tax completely for a year

00:18:42.780 or two. That wasn't even put on the table for consideration. Instead, we're going to spend

00:18:50.940 trillions of dollars to send money out to people rather than simply letting them keep their own

00:18:54.960 money. Now, you might point out that suspending the income tax isn't going to help people who

00:18:58.920 lost their jobs because they don't have an income, which, yeah, that's true. But as we

00:19:04.180 know, the stimulus checks already are going to a lot of people who didn't lose their jobs.

00:19:07.520 That's what I would, if it were me, that's what I would go with. Let people keep their

00:19:14.160 own money. Rather than giving people money, first thing or first step, default position

00:19:18.940 should be let people keep their own money. Number three, we played the clip a couple days

00:19:23.140 ago of Don Lemon on The View saying that God doesn't judge people. And there was more to

00:19:28.200 that interview. I think this is the same interview, at least. It's just gone viral now and gone

00:19:35.160 viral for all the wrong reasons. We have a little bit more theological insight from Don

00:19:40.380 Lemon that is almost as good as the God doesn't judge people bit. Let's listen to that.

00:19:44.740 And we also have to start being realistic about God and the Bible. And if you are a person of

00:19:51.180 faith in this country, and we know America is built on faith and religious freedom, then

00:19:55.880 we have to, I think a good way of starting is to present the true identity of Jesus. And that

00:20:02.520 is as a black or a brown person rather than someone who looks like a white hippie from

00:20:06.900 Sweden or Norway. And I think we should start with a true depiction of what Jesus looked

00:20:11.740 like and put that in your home, either a black Jesus or a brown Jesus, because we knew Jesus 0.54

00:20:16.780 looked more like a Muslim or someone who was dark rather than someone who was blonde, a blonde 0.99

00:20:22.180 looking carpenter. And then when your children ask you, who is this? This is Jesus. Jesus was

00:20:28.200 Middle Eastern. Bethlehem was not in Sweden. And so Jesus does not look like the popular

00:20:35.880 depiction that we have in our churches and in our homes and that we see all over the

00:20:40.780 media. And I think that is a good place to start. And that is a good place that your kids

00:20:45.280 will ask questions and then you can go from there. And then we can then we can come to a

00:20:50.820 true reality about what America really is. Okay. Oh, Bethlehem isn't in Sweden. I had no idea.

00:20:58.820 Wow, Don Lemon. Thanks. First, I'm hearing that. Now, a few problems here. Number one,

00:21:07.780 who cares what this person thinks? Like, why are we getting parenting advice from him?

00:21:13.920 Why are we bringing him in to give advice to parents or to give advice to Christians 1.00

00:21:17.620 on the best way to observe their faith? What kind of religious icons they should have in

00:21:23.960 their home? You know, I'm not really sure I want anyone's advice on that, but why Don

00:21:29.220 Lemon of all people? He is among the last that I would go to for advice on that.

00:21:36.800 Another big problem is that he says Jesus would have looked Muslim. Well, kind of an issue

00:21:42.000 here. Islam didn't exist 2,000 years ago when Jesus was physically walking the earth. There 0.99

00:21:49.300 was no such thing as Muslim people. So that's a problem. You know what he looked like? He looked 1.00

00:21:55.680 like a Jew because he was. He looked like a Middle Eastern Jew, which is what he was. 1.00

00:22:01.680 But Don Lemon goes with he looked Muslim, a religion that didn't exist and wouldn't exist for another 1.00

00:22:06.560 600 years. Instead of just saying Jesus was a Middle Eastern Jew, which by the way, we all know

00:22:13.340 that. I love how the left, because they don't know, they don't understand anything about religious

00:22:21.580 people, you know, except for their own religious cult of leftism. They get that. They understand

00:22:26.380 their own, but they don't understand Christians. And so they always think that they're blowing our

00:22:32.960 minds by saying, Hey, did you know that, uh, Jesus wasn't white? What? He wasn't this whole time. 0.83

00:22:39.780 I thought, yeah, we're well aware of that. Not troubled by it at all.

00:22:46.160 Now. And the thing is the majority of Christians on earth also are not white. 0.53

00:22:53.140 You know, Christianity is not even close to an exclusively white religion. Never has been.

00:22:58.060 That doesn't trouble us. We're well aware of that. No, it's you who doesn't appear to be

00:23:03.760 aware of that. That's something you need to remind yourself. Christianity is not a white

00:23:11.420 supremacy. That's what, that's a reminder you need. We, we know that. In fact, many of the

00:23:18.880 most persecuted and oppressed people across the globe are non-white Christians because they

00:23:26.040 are Christians in Africa, um, parts of Asia, Middle East, North Korea. They were sent to

00:23:36.980 concentration camps. And for the most part, not white is where they live. And these are 0.91

00:23:43.880 among the most oppressed and persecuted people on the globe. Again, a reminder that someone

00:23:49.520 like Don Lemon needs, not us. We know that. All right. Number four, Ron DeSantis continues

00:23:55.980 to be the best elected Republican in the country. And I think at this point, he's just kind of

00:24:00.080 spiking the football, um, or, or lapping the field, whatever sports metaphor you want, uh,

00:24:05.340 hitting home runs, dunking the ball. Um, anyway, and it's a, it's a low bar, I admit to be the

00:24:11.060 best elected Republican in the, in the country, but even so here's what he announced yesterday.

00:24:15.620 Let's listen. Florida civics curriculum will incorporate foundational concepts with the

00:24:21.080 best materials, and it will expressly exclude unsanctioned narratives like critical race theory

00:24:29.040 and other unsubstantiated theories. Let me be clear. There's no room, uh, in our classrooms

00:24:41.820 for things like critical race theory, teaching kids to hate their country and to hate each other

00:24:49.140 is not worth one red cent of taxpayer money.

00:24:57.100 So we will invest in actual solid, true curriculum, and we will be a leader in the development and

00:25:03.600 implementation of a world-class civics education.

00:25:07.240 Right. Yeah. Um, obviously exactly what needs to happen with this shouldn't even need to be a

00:25:12.880 discussion. Clearly critical race theory does not belong in the classroom. If you want to pick up

00:25:19.440 books on that subject yourself and indoctrinate yourself, you're more than, uh, you're, you're more

00:25:24.020 than free to do so. And if you want to elect a class on a subject like that in, in college, and you

00:25:31.360 want to, you want to send yourself into bankruptcy, you want to, um, take on all that debt to be

00:25:37.380 indoctrinated into that, have at it, but it shouldn't be in grade school where our kids cannot

00:25:45.120 choose it, are totally susceptible to it. You know, don't, don't have the psychological equipment yet

00:25:52.160 to understand that they're being indoctrinated and to separate fact from fiction and narrative from

00:25:58.020 reality. And so it doesn't belong in the classroom. Only thing I would add to that is, um, if we're,

00:26:04.260 if we're, if we're talking about theories that need to be taken out of the classroom,

00:26:07.900 critical race theory, also gender theory does not belong in the classroom. Those two theories

00:26:11.700 don't belong in the classroom. Really? Any, any time something has theory attached to it doesn't

00:26:18.760 mean we don't teach it. I mean, there, there are obviously theories that we, that we do need to

00:26:22.740 teach. Um, but that's something you got to look at a theory. Okay. That, that's going to, that's

00:26:30.200 going to, that should attract extra scrutiny. And maybe we could just sum it up this way. If it's not

00:26:36.020 a valid scientific theory, like the theory of gravity, let's say, if it's not a valid scientific

00:26:43.920 theory, then it doesn't belong in the classroom. Scientific theories are systems to explain

00:26:52.300 what we observe in the natural world. So they're very valuable in the scientific context,

00:26:57.700 but leftist theories, these, these systems to explain what we observe culturally and in society,

00:27:05.100 those don't belong. All right. Number five from the daily wire, it says a GoFundMe set up to help

00:27:12.360 Harry and Megan, um, to pay off the $14 million mortgage in their California home has folded after

00:27:19.880 less than a week. Uh, an alleged Harry and Megan mega fan set up the fund after hearing of the

00:27:26.000 couple's financial troubles in their interview with Oprah Winfrey. Memorably Harry, who has a trust fund

00:27:31.000 from his mother worth, worth millions and was previously, previously supported by a generous

00:27:35.100 grant from his father complained that he and Megan had to find paying jobs in order to afford private

00:27:39.920 security and their modest home. Then he complained that they'd been cut off financially. So then this

00:27:45.240 GoFundMe was set up by a generous benefactor or, or, you know, want to be benefactor. Anastasia

00:27:51.920 Hanson set up the GoFundMe account. Um, and she, she explained when she set it up, when they came to

00:27:57.140 the USA, they were without jobs and with limited funds. They've stated, and they've had a very rough

00:28:02.280 time. So this fundraiser is a way to give help, compassion, and love by paying their home loan in

00:28:07.280 full. We're 2 million supporters to donate just $5 each. The goal is met and the loan can be paid off.

00:28:13.500 And on top of that, you can have the peace of mind of knowing that you help these multimillionaires

00:28:18.460 pay for their mansion, you know, and you can't put a price tag on that. Anyway, the, uh, GoFundMe

00:28:25.440 raised a total of $110, which is $110 too much. And it raises a lot of questions about the

00:28:35.180 psychology of the people who donated to this or set it up. And it also goes back to the question of why

00:28:40.660 is this deadbeat loser, Prince Harry, depending on his parents? You're in your thirties and saying 0.98

00:28:47.900 you're, my parents have cut me off financially. Of course they have. Yes. Even if you weren't rich

00:28:54.560 in your thirties, you ought to be cut off financially. Time to, time to leave the nest and fly on your own

00:29:00.500 baby bird. And if you can't, then you'll splat on the pavement and, uh, such is life.

00:29:05.080 All right, let's move on to reading the YouTube comments. Um, let's see. Preston Wade says,

00:29:11.760 Matt is the peak of stereotypical fathers. Uh, I'll, I'll take it. I don't know exactly what

00:29:17.440 you mean by that, but I'll take it. And, um, I, even though I don't know what you mean, I,

00:29:20.900 it's, it's probably true. Rachel says, Matt would probably be horrified to learn that my bunny

00:29:26.120 sleeps in my bed with me at night. So you have essentially what is a large rodent,

00:29:33.580 maybe not technically sleeping in your bed with you. Yeah. I am pretty horrified by that,

00:29:38.960 but in fairness, I'm, I'm no more horrified than I am by the people that have their dogs sleeping in

00:29:45.900 bed with them. As I already established, dogs don't belong in the home. They belong outside

00:29:50.360 animals in general. You know, there should be no species aside from the human species inside the

00:29:57.120 home. Homes are for, or, or, or for humans. So we, we invented homes. Animals lived for millions of

00:30:04.680 years without homes, without, without, at least without, um, without constructed dwellings, like

00:30:09.180 what we have four walls and a ceiling. They did just fine. So, and if, if they can, if they can't

00:30:17.220 survive without it, then again, that's nature taking its course. Um, Abby Runyon says, Matt,

00:30:23.540 have you ever been to Kansas city, Missouri? I swear I saw you years ago at a Barnes and Noble

00:30:28.220 here in Kansas city. I even followed you around for a while. Cause I was seriously convinced it was

00:30:33.940 you. And I've been a fan since your early blog days. If it was you, that's awesome. If not shame

00:30:38.840 on you for not visiting one of the greatest cities in the world. Uh, Abby, that was not me.

00:30:43.040 You were following around some poor random guy who with a beard, probably scaring this guy half

00:30:49.860 to death. And you were obviously banned from the show, but thank you for being a fan until this

00:30:56.260 moment when you were not banned. Um, and finally, Jareth says, I think Matt Walsh is unfairly maligning

00:31:04.380 my culture in Australia. We abbreviate nearly everything. Sometimes even other abbreviations.

00:31:09.660 Yeah, I did. I did hear this a lot, but I, when I complained yesterday about, uh, grownups putting

00:31:13.660 an E sound at the end of word, you know, abbreviating words with an E sound, comfy, veggie, uh, stimmy,

00:31:19.880 that's the latest. I heard from a lot of people in Australia saying that that's part of their culture,

00:31:24.220 but I mean, Australia is also a place. Australia is, uh, is in many ways, uh, a horrifying nightmarish

00:31:37.220 land of man-eating spiders and so forth that crawl from the ceilings in your home. So I, you know,

00:31:42.460 it's, I, I'm not going to take that as our example that we should emulate. So that doesn't, that does

00:31:47.100 not at all come close to justifying it. And it does not take a lot of effort. Whatever the full word

00:31:52.480 is stimulus. Stim, how long does it take out a stopwatch? How long does it, does it take you to

00:31:58.660 say the word stimulus and now compare it to stimmy almost the same amount of time, have some

00:32:05.660 dignity, some self-respect. And I want to tell you about our friends at rock auto, you know,

00:32:10.220 as the weather is warming up, people are emerging outside out into society again, and more ways than

00:32:16.200 one. You don't want to waste time at auto parts stores. If you have any problem with a car or you

00:32:20.660 need, you need auto parts for any reason, uh, that's the last thing you want to do is be at the

00:32:24.620 inside auto parts store. Uh, and not only are you cooped up inside, but you're also

00:32:28.960 going to be spent spending more than you need to spend. You're going to be dealing with a

00:32:33.400 frustrating lack of selections and lack of options. Why do that? When you can go to rockauto.com

00:32:38.520 rockauto.com always offers the lowest prices possible. Uh, you know, that they're going to

00:32:43.040 do that. And they're going to be honest with you because rockauto.com is a family business

00:32:46.080 serving auto parts, customers online for 20 years. You can go to rockauto.com to shop for auto and

00:33:17.160 Walsh in there. How did you hear about us box? So they know that we sent you. Also, you know,

00:33:21.680 there's a buzz in the air here at Daily Wire. Candace Owens filmed the first episode of her

00:33:25.500 new show yesterday, and it's all anyone in the office can talk about this morning. Folks,

00:33:28.960 you're going to love the show. Candace premieres tomorrow and it will be unlike any other Daily

00:33:33.100 Wire show you've seen before. Um, and if you would like a sneak peek of her new show, and

00:33:37.540 honestly, why wouldn't you join Candace Owens and the rest of the Daily Wire gang tonight

00:33:40.960 for a special edition of Backstage. We're going to discuss Candace's new show, as well as the

00:33:45.540 big picture issues affecting our nation, namely Joe Biden's terrifying accomplishments, if we can

00:33:50.540 call it that. Also, Cardi B's Grammy performance, uh, everything else that's going on. You can join

00:33:55.480 Candace and the rest of the crew live at 7 p.m. Eastern, 6 p.m. here in Nashville at DailyWire.com

00:34:00.780 or the Daily Wire YouTube channel to be a part of the conversation. Don't forget, Candace premieres

00:34:05.100 tomorrow. It'll be exclusive to Daily Wire members. And if you want to watch the show, go to

00:34:10.380 DailyWire.com slash subscribe and use code Candace. Now let's get to our daily cancellation.

00:34:18.740 So the interesting thing about the debate surrounding biological males and women's sports

00:34:22.160 is that there really isn't any debate at all. You know, a debate involves argument, an exchange of

00:34:26.900 ideas between people of opposing sides on a particular issue. And this requires each side to

00:34:31.660 have some sort of coherent point of view and for them each to present that point of view in a manner

00:34:36.540 that might be intelligible to their opponents. None of that is happening with respect to this

00:34:40.200 issue. The side which favors opening up female sports and locker rooms to males has not bothered 1.00

00:34:45.660 to launch any coherent defense of this change or give any good reason for anyone to agree with it

00:34:50.440 other than to scream empty buzzwords like bigot and transphobes at those who fail to cooperate with

00:34:55.360 them. Carl Sagan liked to say that extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. Now it could

00:35:01.500 just as well be said that extraordinary policy proposals require extraordinary justifications. In this case,

00:35:07.520 there is both an extraordinary claim that some males are really women and an extraordinary proposal that

00:35:13.400 biological sex should not be considered as a factor in who gets admitted into women's sports, yet there 1.00

00:35:18.140 is nothing approaching extraordinary evidence or extraordinary justification for these assertions.

00:35:24.160 There is not even ordinary evidence and justification. There is nothing. Those who favor putting males in 0.99

00:35:29.520 female sports have not bothered to defend their claim at all or to engage with the points raised by the 1.00

00:35:33.940 other side. The points on the other side are simple, straightforward, but also powerful. For example,

00:35:40.920 here's author Abigail Schreier testifying before the Senate yesterday about the so-called Equality Act 0.71

00:35:46.560 and raising a number of, I think, very pertinent questions. Let's listen.

00:35:51.100 If your daughter or granddaughter was the top high school tennis player in her state and then five

00:35:57.280 biological boys suddenly decided at the age of 17 to identify as female, should she drop overnight to 0.87

00:36:04.320 number six? Should she lose her college scholarship to a male-bodied athlete who would never have qualified 0.97

00:36:10.840 on the boys' team? Does that strike any member of this committee as fair or just? If a woman in your state 0.99

00:36:18.860 commits a crime, should she be put in a correctional facility with biological males, some of whom are sex 0.97

00:36:25.120 offenders, some of whom may have only begun identifying as female weeks earlier, all of whom

00:36:31.980 could easily overpower her? If a preschool has a policy that only female teachers may accompany 1.00

00:36:38.780 little girls to the bathroom and your daughter's male teacher suddenly identifies as female, 1.00

00:36:44.440 ought that teacher to have a legal entitlement to accompany her? Does that strike anyone in this room

00:36:50.280 as safe or sensible? Those are good questions. Questions that need to be answered by the people

00:36:55.140 proposing this stuff, but they won't answer them. They have, again, nothing to offer.

00:37:01.220 So to illustrate my point, let's turn to a recent article in the allegedly reputable publication

00:37:05.360 Scientific American. The piece, written by child psychiatrist Dr. Jack Turbin, titled

00:37:10.140 Trans Girls Belong on Girls' Sports Teams, claims that there is no scientific case for excluding

00:37:15.640 biological males from female sports. Now, this is certainly extraordinary. No case? It's been 0.77

00:37:21.020 thought for millennia that males have biological advantages over women that give them the edge 0.61

00:37:25.220 in sports, combat, and other physical contests. Jack Turbin insists that there is no scientific

00:37:30.200 case, not simply a weak case, but no case at all to support this bias. He then spends several

00:37:36.380 thousand words explaining why, except he never does explain why. The actual article itself doesn't

00:37:42.400 prove or even really attempt to prove the opening thesis. Here's what it says instead. The article

00:37:47.880 begins with the lawsuit filed in federal court by the family of three girls, cis girls, as the author

00:37:53.480 calls them, in an effort to make biological females seem like but one possible type of girl, one variant. 1.00

00:38:00.140 They're suing the Connecticut Association of Schools for allowing boys to compete against girls in

00:38:04.560 track and field. The author, Turbin, attempts to debunk the premise of the lawsuit, writing,

00:38:09.200 quote, after the Connecticut lawsuit was filed by the cisgender girls families, one of those girls

00:38:14.800 beat one of the transgender girls named in the lawsuit in the Connecticut state championship. It

00:38:18.780 turns out that when transgender girls play on girls sports teams, cisgender girls can win. In fact,

00:38:24.160 the vast majority of female athletes are cisgender, as are the vast majority of winners. There's no 0.99

00:38:28.660 epidemic of transgender girls dominating female sports. Attempts to force transgender girls to play 0.99

00:38:33.140 on the boys team are unconscionable attacks on already marginalized transgender children,

00:38:37.340 and they don't address a real problem. They're unscientific, and they would cause serious

00:38:41.380 mental health damage to both cisgender and transgender youth. Now, obviously, the fact that

00:38:47.660 some girls can beat some guys in some sports sometimes does not at all prove that boys don't 1.00

00:38:54.480 have an inherent advantage. I'm sure there are some blind people who can beat some seeing people in a 0.88

00:39:00.440 game of darts, but no sane person would suggest that sight is not an advantage in a contest like that.

00:39:07.340 The point with respect to those male athletes running track in Connecticut is that they were

00:39:12.880 winning gold, silver, and bronze medals with times that would not have qualified them to step onto the

00:39:17.600 track against the men. Against the men, against their fellow males, they were subpar runners,

00:39:23.320 12th, 13th, 14th, 15th place, or worse. Against the women, they were top competitors. That's the 1.00

00:39:29.360 advantage. And this scientific article doesn't so much as try to deal with that fact. It just ignores the

00:39:36.160 fact as it ignores every other fact. Later on, it says, quote, the notion of transgender girls

00:39:42.860 having an unfair advantage comes from the idea that testosterone causes physical changes such

00:39:47.180 as an increase in muscle mass. But transgender girls are not the only girls with high testosterone

00:39:51.560 levels. An estimated 10% of women have polycystic ovarian syndrome, which results in elevated

00:39:57.120 testosterone levels. They are not banned from female sports. Transgender girls on puberty blockers,

00:40:01.800 on the other hand, have negligible testosterone levels. Yet these state bills would force them to

00:40:06.100 play with the boys. Plus, the athletic advantage conferred by the testosterone is equivocal.

00:40:12.420 As Katrina Karkazi, a senior visiting fellow and expert on testosterone and bioethics at Yale

00:40:18.580 University explains, studies of testosterone levels in athletics do not show any clear consistent

00:40:23.480 relationship between testosterone and athletic performance. Sometimes testosterone is associated

00:40:28.020 with better performance, but other studies show weak links or no links. And yet others show

00:40:32.300 testosterone is associated with worse performance. The bill's premise lacks scientific validity.

00:40:39.200 Okay. Now, even if I were to simply accept this ridiculous claim that testosterone doesn't give you an

00:40:46.480 advantage, or even it's a disadvantage in a physical sport, and even if I were to pretend that there's

00:40:52.260 some relevance to the minority of women with an ovarian condition that gives them more of the

00:40:56.560 hormone, even if I were to accept all of that, and even if I were to pretend again, for the sake of this

00:41:01.820 argument, which he wants us to pretend, that all of the male athletes competing against women are on puberty

00:41:07.000 blockers, which is not true, well, let's say, well, let's just give them all of that. It still would not come

00:41:15.180 close to proving the case that men have no physical advantage over women in sports. Testosterone is but one

00:41:21.800 factor. One. As an article in Live Science in 2017 noted, an article that would probably not be

00:41:28.660 published today, men, along with having up to 20 times more testosterone than women, also have

00:41:34.280 greater muscle mass, larger fast-twitch muscle fibers, larger lungs, larger hearts, longer legs,

00:41:40.780 smaller waist, less body fat. And this is but a partial list. All of these physical factors give men a

00:41:48.300 distinct, profound, significant physical advantage. This is why all of the fastest and strongest people in the

00:41:55.140 world are men. This is why there is no state in the union where the top female runners have on average 0.98

00:42:00.640 faster times than the top male runners. This is why a decent male high school basketball player could walk into

00:42:06.540 the WNBA and dominate without having to try that hard. It all comes back to physiology. And this article, which is

00:42:13.820 supposed to be providing a thorough scientific case for allowing males and women's sports, does not deal 0.94

00:42:20.580 with any of these physiological factors. Those two paragraphs that I read are the extent of the

00:42:26.540 scientific case presented. From there, his argument revolves solely around the feelings of trans

00:42:31.880 athletes, claiming that it will be emotionally painful for some men if they're not allowed to compete

00:42:36.780 against women. But this is negated by the fact that it's emotionally painful for women to have their 0.99

00:42:41.080 privacy and athletic opportunities stolen by men. At a minimum, we have an emotional wash, right? A

00:42:47.140 stalemate with both sides making emotional claims. Now, in reality, the emotions of the men are far

00:42:53.180 outweighed by the women, both because there are a lot more women affected and because the emotional 0.78

00:42:57.760 demands of the men are far more unreasonable than that of the women. But even if we pretend again 0.98

00:43:03.500 that it's an even emotional match, still we are left having to fall back on the scientific argument.

00:43:10.260 And as far as that goes, as we have seen, the other side really has no scientific argument

00:43:15.700 at all, which doesn't stop them from publishing in something called Scientific American.

00:43:22.540 And so that's why the author of this article is canceled. And anyone who reads that article or at

00:43:29.560 least reads the headline, which is what most people will do and what they're counting on you doing,

00:43:33.200 and is simply persuaded that, well, the article says it in the headline, it's in something called

00:43:37.360 Scientific American, they must have a scientific case. Anyone dumb enough to do that, and I fear 0.98

00:43:42.760 there are millions of them, also canceled. And we'll leave it there for today. Thanks for 0.99
