The Matt Walsh Show - Ep. 686 - Telling The Forbidden Truth About Race And Violence

00:00:00.000 Today on the Matt Wall Show, we're going to have an uncomfortable conversation about race, another one.

00:00:05.000 Though it shouldn't be uncomfortable at all, really, because all I'm going to do is give you the facts about interracial violence and homicide. 0.98

00:00:11.340 The media is telling you lies, so today we'll look at the truth.

00:00:13.940 Also, five headlines, including Utah's move to protect children from pornography.

00:00:18.220 The mayor of Charlottesville goes entirely insane.

00:00:21.420 And a soccer player is the latest spoiled rich woman to publicly announce that she's oppressed. 1.00

00:00:26.220 In our Daily Cancellation, we'll deal with a few recent examples of alleged anti-Asian racism.

00:00:31.760 But are they really examples of racism at all?

00:00:34.080 My answer will, well, not shock you at all.

00:00:36.480 But we'll talk about that and much more today on the Matt Wall Show.

00:00:45.840 The events of the last few weeks seem to have sparked a renewed conversation about the threat posed by, in the words of a recent USA Today headline, white violence.

00:00:56.680 These concerns, which are being expressed in spite of the fact that the Atlanta shooter was not motivated by race and the Boulder shooter wasn't even white, though all of his victims were, all stem from an alleged pandemic of white brutality.

00:01:08.760 In the words of another headline, a quick trip through Google will pull up countless articles and editorials with phrases like white rage and weaponized whiteness and the threat of whiteness. 0.89

00:01:20.440 As Kamala Harris's niece, Mina Harris, put it in a now-deleted tweet, violent white men are the greatest terror threat to our country. 0.89

00:01:27.740 The website MLive in Michigan has a story this week about black people in Michigan who are afraid to walk through the suburbs for fear of violence from whites in Michigan. 0.97

00:01:39.800 It's reported that increasing numbers of black people are purchasing guns in order to defend themselves against dastardly white men.

00:01:47.720 Now, the message from all this is clear. 1.00

00:01:49.740 White people are dangerous and uniquely so. 1.00

00:01:52.500 We're meant to believe, or at least to shut up and pretend we believe, that white violence is a serious problem in this country and that much of that violence is interracial. 1.00

00:02:01.280 As the media tries its hardest to stir up panic over the hordes of murderous, bloodthirsty white men supposedly roaming our streets, it becomes necessary to introduce some truth and sanity into the picture.

00:02:13.220 Fortunately, the FBI, for the time being, at least until the woke mob demands that they take it down, has homicide statistics organized into handy charts and available on their website.

00:02:24.360 You can go look at those charts shows, first, that the vast majority of murder is intraracial. 0.94

00:02:33.100 That is, in the lion's share of cases, one member of a race is killing another member of the same race. 0.51

00:02:39.100 So in 2019, there were 3,299 white victims of murder, of which 2,594 were killed by other white people.

00:02:47.920 Given the sort of wanton slaughter between races and ethnicities that you find in other parts of the world and throughout other periods in history, it's quite remarkable, actually, how little interracial violence we actually have in this country, though the race baiters on the left are doing what they can to change that.

00:03:10.800 As for interracial murder, that is, murder between different races, the statistics just as clearly show that whites fall victim to that far more often than any other race.

00:03:27.280 In 2019, 566 whites were killed by blacks as opposed to 246 blacks killed by whites.

00:03:34.600 The numbers are very similar throughout all other years in recent history.

00:03:37.840 Again, you can go look at this yourself.

00:03:38.880 Outlets like Reuters have run fact checks on memes and social media posts that make exactly the claim that I just made, which is based entirely on publicly available FBI data.

00:03:50.880 And Reuters determined that the claims are somehow still false or at least misleading.

00:03:55.740 Maybe they'll say that about what I'm maybe this this what I'm doing right now is going to get a fact check and they're going to say it's wrong.

00:04:01.160 Now, how do they do that?

00:04:02.440 Well, they explain that though it's true that more white people fall victim to interracial murder,

00:04:08.120 it's also true that given the population disparities, black people are more likely to fall victim to interracial murder.

00:04:15.660 Now, that's technically correct, though it's nonsensical to accuse someone of stating a falsehood just because they didn't frame the statistical data in the way that you subjectively prefer.

00:04:26.080 However, you take any data point, there are different ways of framing it, all of which could be true.

00:04:33.060 What the fact checkers on the Internet will do is they have one particular framing that they want to see.

00:04:39.320 And if you don't frame it that way, they're going to they're going to they're going to fact check you and say that what you're saying is false, even if it's true.

00:04:45.360 The problem, though, is that the more likely knife cuts both ways.

00:04:52.260 So if we say that blacks are more likely to fall victims than whites, we must also say that blacks, again, given the difference in population size, are significantly more likely to victimize whites. 0.94

00:05:03.740 Any given black person is more likely to die by violence, even violence from a white person. 0.96

00:05:08.100 But he's also more likely to be the one committing violence. 0.93

00:05:12.400 That's what the statistics indisputably show.

00:05:16.920 Those are just the facts.

00:05:18.340 That's it.

00:05:20.180 There's no way to frame the numbers that will get around the simple facts of the matter.

00:05:25.340 The problem of interracial violence in America, though comparatively small, and we should be grateful for that, is a problem being driven much more by non-white people than by white people. 1.00

00:05:36.200 Non-white people are committing the majority of interracial violence and also intra-racial violence. 0.99

00:05:44.100 And it's not even that close. 0.97

00:05:46.440 If black people in Michigan or anywhere else are running to arm themselves for fear of homicidal whites, that fear is purely the product of media fabrication.

00:05:56.240 It has no foundation in reality. 0.89

00:05:58.920 None.

00:06:00.980 What's the point of presenting this information?

00:06:02.980 Why bother citing FBI homicide statistics?

00:06:08.080 Well, because first of all, the truth matters, I think.

00:06:11.260 I think it matters for its own sake.

00:06:12.680 When someone like Jessica Valenti claims, as she did in a post on Medium, that, quote, young white male rage is the biggest threat to our country, she has no facts supporting her whatsoever.

00:06:26.300 She has only her feelings, her perceptions, what she wishes were true, what she thinks ought to be true.

00:06:32.160 Truth, again, matters for its own sake and must be asserted and asserted again and reasserted in the face of lies and false narratives.

00:06:41.820 And we must keep abserting it, asserting it every single time.

00:06:45.780 Also, and this is really important, we have to consider why these lies are being told.

00:06:54.980 It should make us suspicious and quite worried whenever we notice that any racial or ethnic group is being assigned the role of bad guys. 0.98

00:07:03.240 It's what's happening right now to white people, white males in particular.

00:07:08.180 Humanity has a long history of doing this sort of thing, of positioning a certain category of humans as the societal scapegoats.

00:07:15.680 And we've seen the terrifying results of that time and time and time again.

00:07:20.180 And when it becomes taboo to defend that group from the false narratives used to slander it, when the average person slightly recoils and kind of grimaces at the presentation of factual information, as some of you may have done when I was just telling you the FBI homicide statistics.

00:07:38.600 Some of you, when you were listening, might have been like, eh, I don't know if you should be saying this.

00:07:43.420 Well, when even average people have that reaction to the truth, that's when you know that we've truly entered the danger zone.

00:07:54.400 Our cultural overlords have their reasons for lying about the great white menace. 0.95

00:08:00.100 The reasons cannot be good.

00:08:02.560 And they cannot lead to anything but horror and suffering and hate.

00:08:08.000 That, after all, for them, is the whole point.

00:08:11.900 Now let's get to our five headlines.

00:08:13.420 Before we get to our five headlines today, I want to tell you about one of our sponsors, True Underdog Podcast.

00:08:24.560 You know, raised in a trailer park with no clear path to success, kicked out of high school multiple times, and faced with becoming a father in his teens, Jason Waller is the definition of a true underdog.

00:08:33.200 And after hearing the words no or you can't too many times, he unleashed the power within to start three successful companies with his most recent venture, Powerhome Solar, skyrocketing on a path to becoming a billion-dollar enterprise.

00:08:44.860 You can join us as Waller, a four-time entrepreneur of the year, shares motivational tips and inspiring stories and business-building lessons from the ground up.

00:08:53.580 He shares his life experiences and that of his high-profile guests to help others better themselves as well.

00:08:58.320 As Waller will tell you, there is no elevator to success.

00:09:00.600 You know, you've got to climb one step at a time.

00:09:03.100 Let every true underdog podcast be that step that elevates you.

00:09:07.360 You'll learn about failure.

00:09:08.680 Learn about entrepreneurship.

00:09:09.700 Learn about never quitting or making excuses.

00:09:12.000 It's real.

00:09:12.560 It's raw.

00:09:12.920 It's motivational.

00:09:13.840 You've got to check out this podcast and experience the whole thing.

00:09:16.120 So go check out the True Underdog Podcast, and you can find that at trueunderdog.com or anywhere that you happen to get your podcasts.

00:09:25.380 I feel like kind of a hypocrite because I'm always complaining about pets and saying on this show and, you know, on Twitter, because it's a very important issue, that people shouldn't have beasts.

00:09:36.420 They shouldn't have hairy beasts. 0.90

00:09:39.020 Now, you could say that I'm a hairy beast, but I'm a human.

00:09:41.220 So they shouldn't have non-human hairy beasts in their home, and yet we have a cat, right?

00:09:47.500 Now, it's not really my cat.

00:09:48.740 It's my wife's cat.

00:09:49.440 She's the one who insisted that we get it.

00:09:51.940 And the deal was when she brought the cat home, the deal was, okay, I will tolerate the cat being in the house, but I'm not going to take care of this animal.

00:10:00.920 You have to do everything.

00:10:02.020 I'm not going to do it.

00:10:02.640 That's the deal.

00:10:03.360 Otherwise, I'm not getting it.

00:10:04.280 Like, I'm not volunteering to do anything for the cat.

00:10:06.020 Now, I didn't know.

00:10:07.860 See, there was the loophole that wasn't made clear to me from the beginning, but the loophole is that when a woman is pregnant, she can't change the litter box because there's a disease that you can get from the cat feces that can cause birth defects.

00:10:22.040 And my wife, you know, we have four kids.

00:10:25.020 We had four kids since when we got the cat, so I have spent much of the time cleaning the litter box.

00:10:29.360 I'm kind of convinced that that's part of the reason that my wife wanted to have the kids is just to get out of the litter box duties. 1.00

00:10:36.380 But anyway, so yesterday, so we had this cat, and yesterday, my daughter, who's been around this cat literally her whole life, suddenly developed allergies, an allergic reaction to the cat, which we're told can happen.

00:10:50.940 Just one day, she's allergic.

00:10:52.680 Never was before.

00:10:53.300 Now she is.

00:10:54.800 And, you know, she had this allergic reaction.

00:10:57.180 We got the medicine for it.

00:10:58.180 But when I got home and I was talking to my daughter about it, and I told her, I said, we, you know, we can just get rid of it.

00:11:04.100 I mean, we can give it to someone or whatever.

00:11:05.740 We don't have to, it's like, we don't have to keep the cat around.

00:11:09.000 The cat's trying to kill you.

00:11:10.520 We can get, and my daughter doesn't want to do it. 1.00

00:11:12.720 She wants to keep the cat.

00:11:14.060 It just shows, like, these animals, this is, it's all a long way to get to the moral of the story here.

00:11:19.760 This is a message from nature.

00:11:23.340 A message from God, I would say.

00:11:26.160 Telling us, you shouldn't have animals in your home.

00:11:29.180 You can get diseases from the poop that will cause birth defects.

00:11:34.260 They're trying to kill your children with their, whatever causes allergies. 0.99

00:11:41.060 And we just, we put up with it.

00:11:42.300 No one can tell, no one knows why.

00:11:43.860 Why do we put up with this?

00:11:45.180 What do we get out of this?

00:11:46.820 What do we get out?

00:11:48.080 I know what the cat gets out of being allowed in our home.

00:11:50.560 What are we getting out of this?

00:11:51.800 What do we get out of this deal?

00:11:55.540 Never got an answer to that question.

00:11:56.700 All right.

00:11:58.400 Okay.

00:11:58.960 Number one, from the Daily Wire.

00:12:00.620 Republican Governor of Utah, Spencer Cox, signed a controversial piece of legislation on Tuesday requiring all smartphones and tablets sold in Utah to have filters that can block pornography.

00:12:10.120 Governor Cox has said that the proposal would send an important message about prohibiting children from gaining access to explicit online material.

00:12:17.480 The bill states it would require a smartphone or tablet sold in Utah and made on or after January 1st of the year following the year this bill takes effect to, when activated in the state, automatically enable a filter capable of blocking material that is harmful to minors.

00:12:31.120 The filter on the device must, quote, the filter on the device must, quote, prevent the user of the device from accessing material that is harmful to minors on the device, enable certain users to deactivate the filter for the device for specific content and notify the user when content is filtered.

00:12:43.780 You know, and that's the bill.

00:12:47.260 I think, yeah, it's controversial because we lived in a porn-obsessed society and many people, their porn habit is sacred to them.

00:12:57.680 And anything that can present any obstacle to getting to porn for a lot of people in this country because they're addicted to it, any obstacle they consider to be a horrific affront against them and against their human rights.

00:13:13.360 Because what would be the reason for objecting to this?

00:13:16.380 You want to look at porn, you still look at it.

00:13:18.320 It's not going to stop you.

00:13:20.280 You got the filter, you got to change the settings or whatever.

00:13:24.020 Is that too much of an effort?

00:13:25.860 But people are opposed to it.

00:13:28.300 The whole idea, and this to me, now you know how I feel about porn.

00:13:32.460 I'd be in favor of banning it outright.

00:13:34.580 So this is one little baby step in the right direction.

00:13:38.920 I'm fully in favor of it.

00:13:42.340 And the point here is to protect children.

00:13:45.240 And what we have to remember is that children, and I know we're getting away from this in a big way in society.

00:13:52.420 We talk about dangerous trends, a lot of dangerous trends when it comes to race, as we talked about. 1.00

00:13:57.680 A lot of dangerous trends here, too, when it comes to children and our ideas of consent.

00:14:01.700 But traditionally, what we've always known, and what is not just traditionally true, but actually true, is that children can't consent.

00:14:11.920 They don't have the psychological ability to fully consent to anything, really, especially a sexual act.

00:14:21.440 Looking at pornography is, in effect, is in effect a sexual act.

00:14:26.980 You are becoming a participant, a third-party participant in this sexual act, as a viewer.

00:14:38.220 Children can't consent to that. 0.52

00:14:39.800 They don't have the ability to consent to it.

00:14:44.080 So if this stuff is made available to them, they are victims.

00:14:49.280 The moment a child is exposed to pornography, they cannot choose.

00:14:53.840 You could say, well, they chose to look.

00:14:55.440 No, they can't choose.

00:14:56.460 They cannot choose to look at it.

00:14:58.140 Even if they choose, they didn't really choose it.

00:15:00.080 Because they can't consent.

00:15:02.520 And choices about consent, they can't do it.

00:15:07.680 So we can't expect them.

00:15:09.420 We can't expect children to guard their own hearts and minds when it comes to pornography.

00:15:14.780 We have to put the filters in place to protect them.

00:15:18.380 And I don't want to hear anything about, oh, it's the parent's job, if your parents should do it.

00:15:25.340 I agree the parents should be doing it.

00:15:28.000 So what?

00:15:28.720 That doesn't mean that we shouldn't take other steps as well.

00:15:33.360 Yes, parents should be protecting the kids from this.

00:15:36.360 But number one, a lot of parents don't.

00:15:38.600 And so what are we saying about those kids?

00:15:40.260 Too bad?

00:15:42.080 There are millions of kids in this country.

00:15:44.100 Their parents should be protecting them.

00:15:45.800 Parents are not.

00:15:46.440 And so our message on porn is, well, too bad.

00:15:48.820 So what?

00:15:49.600 Those kids, they'll be exposed to hardcore pornography at the age of eight years old and be psychologically ruined by it.

00:15:55.340 Too bad.

00:15:56.520 We're not going to do anything for them.

00:15:59.080 Parents didn't help you out, kid.

00:16:00.520 Sorry.

00:16:01.660 That's the attitude.

00:16:02.700 Yeah, that is the attitude of a lot of people.

00:16:04.200 I find it morally deranged.

00:16:08.540 And absolutely indefensible.

00:16:11.940 Because the only reason you're taking that position is just because you love looking at porn you don't want to be interfered with.

00:16:16.440 So a lot of kids have parents who don't protect them.

00:16:21.420 And then also, it is not possible.

00:16:26.420 A parent can only do so much to protect their kid from this stuff.

00:16:29.800 It is so ubiquitous.

00:16:31.580 And this stuff is out there everywhere.

00:16:33.240 If your kid leaves your sight at all, which at a certain point he's going to, he's going to be around.

00:16:40.720 His friends are going to have phones.

00:16:42.220 There's going to be laptops and stuff.

00:16:43.800 He's going to go to his friend's house.

00:16:44.940 He doesn't have to go to his friend's house anymore, right?

00:16:47.540 He could just go outside and be walking with his friend.

00:16:50.360 The friend pulls out the phone and looks at it.

00:16:52.180 Like, there's only so much that you as a protective parent can do.

00:16:55.420 There's a lot you can do, but you can't do everything.

00:16:58.820 Yet more reason to put measures in place beyond what the parent can do to help these kids.

00:17:06.660 It's like the analogy that I use of, you know, think about buying pornography the old-fashioned way, the way they used to do it in the old days.

00:17:17.060 Going to, you know, the gas station and buying a porn magazine or something.

00:17:20.380 Now, what if a kid went in, you know, a 10-year-old kid goes into a gas station, pulls a porn mag off of the rack, and goes to buy it?

00:17:31.940 It would be illegal for the cashier to sell that magazine to the child.

00:17:38.720 Now, you can say, what's that kid doing in a gas station by himself?

00:17:41.940 Where are that kid's parents?

00:17:43.140 It's the parent's job to make sure the kid's not buying a porn mag.

00:17:46.360 True, you're right.

00:17:48.120 Yes.

00:17:49.140 But for whatever reason, the parents aren't there right now.

00:17:52.260 The kid is there.

00:17:54.180 So does that mean the cashier should just sell it to him?

00:17:57.720 The fact that the parent isn't there, is that an excuse?

00:18:00.560 Is that a good reason?

00:18:02.380 Is that justification for the cashier to make the decision to sell that magazine?

00:18:07.120 I would hope you would say no.

00:18:09.160 Even if this kid has neglectful or negligent parents, especially if he has negligent parents, still you can't sell the magazine.

00:18:16.760 You're committing a crime if you do.

00:18:19.300 See, you as the gas station, the person at the gas station, selling this material,

00:18:24.660 the onus is on you to put measures in place to make sure that kids are not obtaining this stuff.

00:18:29.560 You can't do everything either.

00:18:34.000 There are ways around it for kids, but there are some basic measures we expect you to put in place as the person who is offering this stuff to protect kids.

00:18:43.760 Why don't we have the same requirements of porn sites?

00:18:47.780 We have zero requirements.

00:18:49.520 You understand that?

00:18:50.580 Zero.

00:18:51.320 Right now, there are zero requirements for porn sites in terms of protecting kids and making sure that they're not giving their product to children.

00:19:02.980 Zero.

00:19:03.460 We don't expect anything of them.

00:19:06.120 We expect more of the cashier at the gas station than we do of like Pornhub.

00:19:14.620 Once again, indefensible.

00:19:16.720 Makes no sense at all.

00:19:19.760 And I've never heard a defense for this other than, I've heard a lot of defenses, but they all seem to boil down to the person saying it.

00:19:26.460 What they're really saying is, I like porn and, you know, I don't want to think about it any more than that.

00:19:32.080 And I don't want anything to interfere with me looking at porn.

00:19:35.620 All right.

00:19:36.060 Number two, Amber Athey works for The Spectator and she has this report.

00:19:40.100 She says, Governor Kristi Noem's office says in an email that she's a victim of conservative cancel culture.

00:19:45.200 And adds that she's not caving to the NCAA, but that the bill picked a fight with the NCAA, a fight that renowned conservative legal experts advise Governor Noem that she will lose.

00:19:55.160 And then the office continues by saying, if conservative media would take five seconds to read past the knee-jerk headlines and actually understand Governor Noem's position, they'd come to a very different realization.

00:20:05.520 Okay, let me say two things briefly.

00:20:07.580 Number one, this is not cancel culture.

00:20:11.440 Okay, let's not misuse cancel culture.

00:20:14.380 It's already misused enough.

00:20:16.300 This is a useful term.

00:20:17.780 It means something.

00:20:18.700 It's a very real phenomenon that's happening in the culture and it's important and we need to be able to talk about it.

00:20:25.580 And if you're using it in a context like this, you are helping to make this into a term that has no meaning, like so many other terms now.

00:20:32.800 So many once useful terms now have no meaning because of the way that they've been used and misused and overused.

00:20:38.120 This is not cancel culture.

00:20:39.820 You're the governor of the state.

00:20:41.020 You've made a decision that your base doesn't like and they're expressing that they don't like it.

00:20:46.760 That's not cancel culture.

00:20:50.540 I got to say, Governor Noem is impressing me less and less with each given day.

00:20:54.180 Now you're whining that even if they're wrong, let's just say for the sake of argument that you're right and the base, including me, we're all wrong.

00:21:03.500 It's cancel culture because we're disagreeing with you.

00:21:07.000 You're not getting thrown out of office.

00:21:08.720 You made a decision that we don't like and we're telling you.

00:21:12.620 The people of your state are telling you they don't like it.

00:21:14.660 Stop, you're canceling me.

00:21:17.760 Oh, come on. 0.98

00:21:20.000 And this thing about renowned legal experts, shut up with that.

00:21:24.540 And you cannot use the authority of a legal expert to convince us that what you're doing is right if you won't even tell us who the experts are.

00:21:37.940 You know, Governor Noem rightly and bravely stood up against this kind of nonsense when it came to COVID and the lockdowns and everything.

00:21:46.040 And you had the pro lockdown people saying, all the experts, all the experts say we should lock down.

00:21:53.280 Well, now Governor Noem is doing the exact same damn thing.

00:21:57.680 Except it's even worse now because we don't even know who these experts are.

00:22:01.100 She's not telling us.

00:22:02.480 All she's telling us is that she talked to a lot of experts and they said this was the right thing to do.

00:22:07.040 Now, if you're going to use experts as your justification, it's your responsibility to tell us who these experts are so that we can consult those experts or at least can vet them ourselves so we can know who these people are and decide if we should take their opinion seriously or not.

00:22:26.960 Number three, Nakuya Walker is the mayor of Charlottesville and she posted a bizarre something.

00:22:39.160 I don't know exactly what this is or is supposed to be, but she posted this to social media yesterday and she posted it, I guess, when I say social media, all of her social media, she posted it on Instagram, Twitter, Facebook.

00:22:50.420 She was very proud of this and she wanted people to see it.

00:22:52.920 And what it said was, I'm just going to read it.

00:22:58.480 This is the thing that she posted.

00:22:59.280 This is the mayor of Charlottesville and this is what she posted.

00:23:02.980 Charlottesville, the beautiful, ugly it is. 0.98

00:23:06.580 It rapes you, comforts you in its blank stained sheet and tells you to keep it secret. 0.97

00:23:13.720 Now, I have to say, these tourism campaigns are getting really edgy.

00:23:24.240 This is not, I don't know if, you know, the, someone in the city, the tourism department came to the mayor and say,

00:23:34.160 Hey, listen, mayor, you know, we're not getting a lot of visitors here.

00:23:36.700 Charlottesville, there's been a lockdown.

00:23:37.840 There's been a lot of bad publicity.

00:23:39.860 We got to get, we got to think of a tourism campaign.

00:23:43.080 We need something to put on the billboards, put on a bumper stickers, put in the ads, advertisements.

00:23:49.660 And this is what she came up with.

00:23:53.340 Charlottesville, it rapes you and comforts you.

00:23:54.980 I got to say, I, I, I think it needs a little work. 0.97

00:23:59.340 You got to, you, this is why you really should be high.

00:24:04.040 Speaking of experts, maybe a couple of marketing, get some marketing people in there. 0.64

00:24:07.840 And I'm no marketing expert, but I don't know if this is the way to go.

00:24:11.680 Now, later on, um, she posted the longer version of what she now says is a poem.

00:24:20.700 And that's what the original thing was.

00:24:22.700 This was what, what she had posted.

00:24:24.360 What I just read was the short version, sort of like a haiku, um, and a short version of

00:24:30.700 the longer poem.

00:24:32.600 And here's the longer one.

00:24:33.920 And this one, she posted again to, I think, Twitter, Facebook, Instagram posted all over

00:24:38.480 the place.

00:24:38.740 Very proud of it.

00:24:39.940 Here's the longer version.

00:24:41.140 This again is the, the mayor of the city of Charlottesville.

00:24:44.220 This is what she posted.

00:24:47.500 Charlottesville, the beautiful, ugly it is.

00:24:50.540 And I, sidebar, I, I don't know what that means.

00:24:53.480 The beautiful, ugly it is.

00:24:55.720 What is that supposed to mean?

00:24:57.680 Um, the beautiful, ugly it is.

00:24:59.860 It lynched you, hung the noose at city hall and pressed the souvenir that was once your

00:25:04.280 finger against its lips.

00:25:05.900 It covers your death with its good intentions. 1.00

00:25:08.640 It is a place where white women with black kids collect signatures for a white man who questions 0.99

00:25:12.940 whether a black woman understands white supremacy. 0.98

00:25:15.220 It is destructively world-class white people say that it is a place where gentrification 0.98

00:25:20.660 started with the election of a black woman in 2017. 0.94

00:25:23.480 And because of white power, a lie becomes hashtag facts.

00:25:27.440 You always got to put the hashtag in your poetry.

00:25:29.560 That's how, you know, it's really poetic.

00:25:31.460 It's daily practice is that of separating you from your soul.

00:25:36.000 Charlottesville is void of a moral compass.

00:25:38.520 This is the mayor of the city talking about the city.

00:25:42.920 She leads.

00:25:44.000 She leads.

00:25:45.220 It's as good old, it is as if good old TJ, Thomas Jefferson, is still cleverly using his

00:25:51.580 whip to whip the current inhabitants into submissiveness. 0.97

00:25:55.820 Charlottesville rapes you of your breaths.

00:25:58.160 It suffocates your hopes and dreams.

00:26:00.660 It liberates you by conveniently redefining liberation.

00:26:04.920 It progressively chants while it conservatively acts.

00:26:09.040 Charlottesville is anchored in white supremacy and rooted in racism. 0.99

00:26:11.820 Charlottesville rapes you and covers you in sullied sheets. 0.99

00:26:16.720 Now, she posted that and she said she wanted to know, is this better? 0.95

00:26:21.620 Like, are you people still, is this better than the short version?

00:26:26.920 And the answer, mayor, is no.

00:26:28.480 Really, I got to tell you, it's not any better.

00:26:31.340 Significantly worse, in fact, than the original thing.

00:26:34.560 And, and I mean, there's, there's so much to be said about this.

00:26:40.600 One, one really doesn't know where to begin.

00:26:43.100 Maybe I'll, I'll only say this and we'll move on that.

00:26:45.340 But, you know, what does it tell you that this, this is the kind of person that Democrat voters select to run their cities?

00:27:00.120 Maybe that, maybe, maybe we can learn why these cities run by Democrats.

00:27:05.400 And when I say cities run by Democrats, I mean, like, I don't know, all of them are in shambles.

00:27:11.160 Because they're being run by people who hate the city and hate most of the people in the city.

00:27:19.980 She says, Charlottesville suffocates your hopes and dreams.

00:27:24.680 Now, there you go.

00:27:25.640 That is the quote for the billboard.

00:27:29.020 Charlottesville will suffocate your hopes and dreams.

00:27:32.400 Thanks for stopping by.

00:27:33.600 You'll never leave.

00:27:38.880 She's the mayor of the city. 1.00

00:27:40.040 And it's not like she was just elected.

00:27:41.480 I think she's been the mayor for a couple of years.

00:27:43.620 And she still hates it.

00:27:46.640 You, you, you cannot lead a city that you, that you hate.

00:27:51.660 You cannot be a leader to people that you hate.

00:27:57.120 I am not saying you have to have some utopian view of your city.

00:28:01.900 Obviously, you have to realize its problems.

00:28:03.920 But if you despise it and hate it, as she obviously does, you're not gonna be able to be a good leader. 0.74

00:28:13.040 And also, if you're, if you're, if you're psychotic, you're not going to be a good leader. 0.98

00:28:16.760 And she's also clearly psychotic. 1.00

00:28:18.220 So, we've got a couple of problems there.

00:28:20.260 All adds up to some real, some real leadership difficulties.

00:28:24.940 Got to get her to some leadership training classes. 0.99

00:28:27.220 Okay.

00:28:27.980 Number four.

00:28:28.880 So, yesterday was equal payday, I think.

00:28:30.960 Like, the fourth equal payday of the year, I believe.

00:28:34.320 We get a bunch of them now.

00:28:36.180 We got a bunch of women's days, women's history months, international women's month, international women's day, international women's week, equal payday.

00:28:44.140 The next equal payday.

00:28:45.080 So, a lot of different things like that.

00:28:47.240 Joe Biden celebrated the occasion by making a pretty remarkable claim.

00:28:53.540 Let's listen to that.

00:28:54.180 Here's Joe Biden.

00:28:54.720 I've told my daughters, granddaughters, from the time they were old enough to understand what I was saying.

00:29:02.540 And I mean it.

00:29:04.800 There's not a single thing a man can do that a woman can't do as well or better.

00:29:10.500 Not a single thing.

00:29:11.460 I was among the first senators ever to appoint a woman to the Naval Academy. 0.52

00:29:18.500 I was just able to, as President of the United States, appoint two women as four-star generals. 0.99

00:29:25.800 Okay, first of all, Joe, you say your grandchildren, once they were old enough to understand you.

00:29:33.540 Nobody is old enough to understand you.

00:29:36.480 Nobody understands anything that you're saying.

00:29:39.580 And also, speak for yourself.

00:29:43.360 There's nothing a woman can do, nothing a man can do that a woman can't do as well or better. 0.99

00:29:49.040 Speak for yourself, Joe.

00:29:49.660 I believe that that's true of you.

00:29:51.600 I totally believe that's true of you.

00:29:53.440 But beyond that, it really makes no sense.

00:29:58.880 I mean, first of all, you should see my wife try to parallel park. 0.66

00:30:01.460 So let's start with that.

00:30:03.960 And then go to like, you know, bench press more than 150 pounds.

00:30:10.100 So there are many things we could list.

00:30:12.400 Obviously, that makes no sense.

00:30:14.960 That statement is totally factually incorrect.

00:30:17.320 Though, if you believe that a male can be a woman, then I guess it could be true if you believe that, though the statement becomes meaningless at that point.

00:30:29.140 And then we had Megan Rapinoe, who is the women's soccer player. 0.96

00:30:36.060 And after Joe Biden, she took the stage to talk about how she's being oppressed.

00:30:41.000 Now, we already know, we've heard a lot from spoiled rich women who are oppressed. 1.00

00:30:45.740 Megan Markle, oftentimes their name is Megan, actually.

00:30:49.180 And Megan Markle, deeply, deeply oppressed in her $15 million mansion. 0.95

00:30:55.720 Megan Rapinoe, also oppressed.

00:30:57.160 And here she'll tell us why.

00:30:59.140 I'm a member of the LGBTQ community with pink hair.

00:31:03.020 And where I come from, I could have only dreamed that I would be standing in the position I am today at the White House.

00:31:10.940 I'm also a professional athlete.

00:31:13.140 And I've helped, along with all of my teammates virtually here today, one teammate literally here today, win four World Cup championships and four Olympic gold medals for the United States.

00:31:24.940 And despite those wins, I've been devalued, I've been disrespected, and dismissed because I am a woman.

00:31:34.540 And I've been told that I don't deserve any more than less because I am a woman.

00:31:40.060 You see, despite all the wins, I'm still paid less than men who do the same job that I do.

00:31:48.180 Oh, you poor woman. 1.00

00:31:51.000 What a, what a, you, you poor, poor helpless girl. 1.00

00:31:55.900 I guess that's the reaction you want, right?

00:31:57.420 You want us to pity you?

00:31:59.360 That's what you're looking for?

00:32:01.540 If you want us to patronize and pity you, Megan, then fine, you'll get it.

00:32:05.920 You poor little child.

00:32:06.920 You poor little girl. 1.00

00:32:09.580 Just shut up. 1.00

00:32:10.640 You, you, you, you, you're at the freaking White House speaking. 1.00

00:32:18.560 You're a rich athlete, world renowned. 0.99

00:32:25.160 It's still not enough, not enough for you.

00:32:27.400 People don't appreciate you enough.

00:32:29.540 You've been doubted because of your pink hair.

00:32:33.020 If you don't like the comments of your pink hair, then, then, then dye it a different color.

00:32:35.800 The reason that you haven't gotten paid the same as some of the male athletes is that women's soccer doesn't bring in that much money because not a lot of people watch it because most people find it to be boring.

00:32:52.160 Like I do now, they might say otherwise they might, they might theoretically support it.

00:32:59.660 They might support women's sports in theory. 1.00

00:33:01.660 They, they, they like the idea of women playing sports and they think that women should be paid the same.

00:33:09.280 Most of the people saying that are not actually watching the games.

00:33:12.900 If they were watching the games, you get paid the same as the men because you'd be bringing in all that money, but you're not because the money's not there.

00:33:20.420 Male athletes get paid more because more people are interested and that's it.

00:33:26.140 And you could shout at everybody for not being more into, that's your real gripe here.

00:33:30.860 Your real problem is not that you're not getting paid the same.

00:33:33.440 Your real problem is that people just aren't all that interested in the women's sports, at least not, not interested enough to be spectators, which is where the money is.

00:33:42.420 Right.

00:33:43.520 And, um, and so that's what you're mad about, but you can't shout at people to make them be interested in something.

00:33:51.180 You could try, but it's not going to work.

00:33:52.720 You could scream at them all you want.

00:33:56.020 Be interested in this.

00:33:57.240 I demand it.

00:33:59.140 I demand that you be interested in women playing soccer. 1.00

00:34:02.940 You could do that, but it's not going to change anything.

00:34:05.120 It's only gonna make people less interested.

00:34:06.760 So that, that, that's the issue that you're having.

00:34:12.800 But even in spite of all that, Megan, you still are making a living, playing a game.

00:34:19.520 You know, most people can't even dream of that.

00:34:22.080 Most people dream of it, but it will never happen for them.

00:34:25.140 You're, you're literally living out so many people's wildest dreams and you're rich and famous and you're at the White House and the president is on your side.

00:34:34.040 My God, how about a little bit of gratitude for a change instead of whining?

00:34:40.040 How about be grateful for what you've been given, for what this country has made possible?

00:34:46.440 This country that you despise, that you hate.

00:34:50.980 It has yet given you all of this simply to play a game.

00:34:55.560 And you've been able to carve out a spot, playing a game, even though, you know, even though a moderately talented high school boy, it would be a better soccer player than you.

00:35:11.440 And the reason I know that, by the way, is that you were beat by, by high school boys under the age of 15.

00:35:16.920 You were beat by a bunch of 14 year old boys.

00:35:19.800 And I wouldn't even usually bring that up because, yeah, you're, you're a woman, they're, they're guys, they have the advantage.

00:35:28.960 But when you go whining that you're not getting paid the same as men, you got beat by 14 year old boys.

00:35:35.280 And in spite of that, you still get to be world famous athlete, richer than most people will ever, could ever imagine themselves being.

00:35:43.700 And all you could do is whine and complain.

00:35:47.880 I think it's just disgraceful.

00:35:51.600 It's, it is more than annoying.

00:35:53.500 It is actually infuriating.

00:35:56.700 But fine, maybe that should be our policy from now on.

00:35:58.760 If these people want to be patronized and pitied, then let's patronize and pity them.

00:36:03.440 That's what they want.

00:36:06.340 Joe Biden's up there.

00:36:07.580 Women can do anything that men can do. 1.00

00:36:09.180 A woman, like, with her head on her shoulders, would, would, is angry at that because it's so patronizing. 1.00

00:36:20.240 You're treating me like a child.

00:36:22.340 I know that's not true. 0.96

00:36:25.760 A self-respecting woman, that's going to be her reaction to that kind of nonsense.

00:36:29.600 But Megan Rapinoe, she loves it.

00:36:32.680 She's not self-respecting, clearly.

00:36:35.100 And she wants to be patronized, too.

00:36:36.340 All right, let's move on to reading the YouTube comments.

00:36:40.760 This is from Ellen Welsh.

00:36:43.600 She says, cinnamon toast crunch is delivered to us in the hands of fat cherubs from heaven, sir. 0.91

00:36:48.940 Heaven.

00:36:50.840 No, Ellen. 0.98

00:36:51.540 Cinnamon toast crunch, as I made clear, is, is not for, uh, the age limit on that is for, is 14, I'll say.

00:36:58.600 You know, right when you're at the age where you're beating, um, the Olympic women's soccer team, you know,

00:37:04.900 like, right at that age, that's sort of the cutoff.

00:37:08.880 And also you're banned from the show, unfortunately, for that infraction.

00:37:13.300 Another one says, Matt, absolutely love the cancellation segment.

00:37:15.660 You rant on and on, and I just can't wait for the dramatic, they are canceled part.

00:37:19.300 You have perfected the deep, stern voice, an icy stare into the camera.

00:37:22.960 Wow, just wow.

00:37:23.800 Also, I agree, I agree with you that every voter should have to take a basic knowledge test,

00:37:28.260 just like you do to get your driver's license.

00:37:31.760 Well, thank you for watching the show.

00:37:34.980 I'm not going to ban you for that.

00:37:36.680 Um, I'm always looking for any excuse and that you didn't give me one because it was nothing but nice things.

00:37:41.900 Mark says, Matt, the Daily Wire should officially change its name to the Daily Joy

00:37:45.220 because of the immeasurable joy I get every single day from tuning in.

00:37:49.020 Best money I ever spent.

00:37:50.200 Godspeed.

00:37:51.000 You're not supposed to get joy, Mark.

00:37:52.700 Um, despair.

00:37:56.900 That's really what I'm going for here.

00:37:59.240 Joy is not it.

00:38:00.360 So, sadly, you're banned from the show.

00:38:03.820 Um, another one says, I've been watching the Matt Wall show a couple months and I made it a priority to watch every day.

00:38:09.440 Oh, so you only started watching a couple months ago.

00:38:12.020 Why didn't, why were you watching it before then?

00:38:14.700 What were you doing?

00:38:15.980 I mean, I've been doing this for a couple years and you just started watching a couple months ago.

00:38:19.520 Well, obviously you've got to be banned for that.

00:38:22.720 Finally, uh, Callie says, Matt, while looking at my reading list, I realized something is missing.

00:38:26.340 I have books by Ben, Andrew, and Candace and Michaels is on pre-order.

00:38:29.420 Any plans for a book of your own?

00:38:31.100 No pressure, but I would definitely buy and read it.

00:38:32.720 Love the show.

00:38:34.820 I've written two books.

00:38:37.280 You know, um, Unholy Trinity and, and, and the Church of Cowards.

00:38:43.400 You didn't know that I wrote, wrote two books.

00:38:46.720 Well, you know what happens now.

00:38:48.700 Banned from the show.

00:38:49.920 But those are the books though.

00:38:51.020 You can buy them, uh, Unholy Trinity and Church of Cowards.

00:38:54.300 Thanks for asking.

00:38:55.420 Now, one thing we can agree on as conservatives in theory, allegedly is that we all love the

00:39:00.220 constitution.

00:39:01.020 Uh, it's what we all say anyway, right?

00:39:02.820 That the, that we're constitutional conservatives.

00:39:04.620 You rarely hear from a non-constitutional conservative.

00:39:07.320 Um, but the problem is that few of us have actually studied it.

00:39:10.640 Um, and even fewer stand ready to defend it.

00:39:13.380 That's what my friends over at constitutioncoach.com are all about.

00:39:16.360 They've got a lot of great programs for equipping citizens to defend liberty by studying and

00:39:19.980 living out the constitution.

00:39:20.920 And I just, I've been telling you about the, the constitutional defense course that I experienced

00:39:24.980 this past weekend.

00:39:26.260 First of all, if I can have fun doing it, then you know that, that you can.

00:39:29.280 So my bar's pretty high for having fun, but it's not just about having fun.

00:39:33.000 You're also are learning really important skills.

00:39:35.300 And I walked away from my experience feeling much, much more comfortable handling a firearm,

00:39:40.020 ready to defend myself, uh, my family than I ever was before.

00:39:43.580 You get an amazing combination of intellectual ammunition and live classes with Rick Green,

00:39:47.660 America's constitution coach.

00:39:48.700 And then you also get the physical training at the premier firearm facility in the nation,

00:39:52.820 all in the same course.

00:39:54.200 You get to join hundreds of other Patriots from across the nation.

00:39:57.420 So you're learning and training.

00:39:58.300 You also get that fellowship with like-minded people.

00:40:00.060 And you get that experience of knowing that like, you're not, you're not alone out there.

00:40:02.780 There are other people just like us, which sometimes can come as a revelation.

00:40:06.300 Uh, so you got to go to constitutioncoach.com.

00:40:28.860 It's, it's live.

00:40:29.520 If it's happening, Candace Owens has a brand new talk show with us exclusively at dailywire.com. 0.91

00:40:43.520 And I would recommend that because the Candace podcast features several breakout segments

00:40:46.880 from the full length show, including interviews, panel discussions, and her advice corner.

00:40:50.320 The podcast is, is really good.

00:40:53.520 So, so make sure you go Apple podcast, Spotify, wherever you get your podcasts and subscribe

00:40:59.040 today and be sure to leave a five-star review.

00:41:01.320 So, um, so they know that you like hearing everything they have to offer there.

00:41:05.620 Now let's get to our daily cancellation.

00:41:06.920 So today we must go on another cancellation spree, just like the banning spree that I,

00:41:14.100 that I just went on canceling a whole line of people.

00:41:17.180 I don't like having to do it.

00:41:18.260 You know, it hurts me more than it hurts you, but I have to, I've been left no choice today.

00:41:21.760 The cancellations will all focus on the issue of fake anti-Asian racism, which has been

00:41:25.400 a common theme over the past few weeks.

00:41:27.300 So we must now give our attention to some especially egregious examples.

00:41:31.660 And we'll start with Meghan McCain, who issued an apology this week for previously using the

00:41:36.200 term China virus in referencing COVID.

00:41:39.620 This apology came after John Oliver, the most overrated Brit since John Lennon, called her

00:41:44.960 out for her alleged anti-Asian racism.

00:41:48.020 And McCain relented to that and she, she issued a statement, an apology, and it said, I condemn

00:41:54.400 the reprehensible violence and vitriol that has been targeted towards the Asian American

00:41:59.040 community.

00:42:00.020 There is no doubt Donald Trump's racist rhetoric fueled many of these attacks.

00:42:03.840 And I apologize for any past comments that aided that agenda.

00:42:08.380 I mean, nevermind that there is no evidence at all that Trump's rhetoric has fueled any

00:42:13.120 attacks on Asians.

00:42:14.380 The greater point is that she had nothing to apologize for.

00:42:17.340 In fact, McCain never even used the term China virus herself.

00:42:21.220 Actually, as far as I know, she merely said that she,

00:42:24.400 she doesn't mind when Trump uses it.

00:42:26.580 And that statement uttered by a host on The View is supposed to have somehow helped to inspire

00:42:31.920 a massacre at a massage parlor.

00:42:34.880 So she's on The View and says, yeah, I don't mind when he says it.

00:42:38.400 And that somehow contributed to a guy shooting up a massage parlor.

00:42:44.320 What?

00:42:44.900 I mean, that makes no sense.

00:42:47.500 You're being defamed, slandered.

00:42:49.700 Rather than say that it makes no sense and defend yourself, you apologize.

00:42:55.820 Meanwhile, a massively viral Twitter thread from a woman named Michelle Kim, pronouns in

00:43:01.420 the bio, so you know this will be good.

00:43:03.320 The thread explains why it's racist to mispronounce Asian names.

00:43:07.700 She writes, quote,

00:43:08.600 Why the name thing is so triggering to me and many other Asians.

00:43:12.640 A thread.

00:43:13.780 I spent my entire adult life in the U.S. by my nickname, Michelle, because I hated dealing

00:43:17.900 with the burden of correcting people each time they got my name wrong.

00:43:21.500 I hated the shame I felt every new school year when the teacher would butcher my Korean

00:43:25.360 name on the roster.

00:43:26.540 If you went to a school with a lot of Asian kids, you know the drill. 1.00

00:43:29.640 Teacher mispronounces Asian name.

00:43:31.980 Asian student.

00:43:32.720 I go by Peter.

00:43:34.280 Other kids chuckle.

00:43:35.260 When my grandma passed last month, we had to correct the memorial service people multiple

00:43:40.780 times to get her first and last name written correctly.

00:43:44.140 Half of her first name kept being written in the middle name section on her death certificate

00:43:48.080 marker everywhere.

00:43:48.920 It was exhausting.

00:43:49.980 These might be small inconveniences, inconveniences to people, but our names are our identity.

00:43:55.460 It's our heritage.

00:43:56.760 It's what we have left that reminds us who we are, where we come from.

00:44:00.160 My grandpa gave me my Korean name.

00:44:02.260 It has a beautiful origin and meaning.

00:44:03.740 I'm ashamed I don't use it today.

00:44:07.060 Okay.

00:44:09.240 So, um, use it then?

00:44:11.440 I mean, whose fault is that?

00:44:13.180 Well, of course, it's everyone's fault but your own.

00:44:15.320 As for mispronouncing Asian names, that's not racist.

00:44:17.900 It's also not anything that we should have to apologize for.

00:44:20.140 I don't apologize for mispronouncing anyone's name, Asian or not.

00:44:23.980 It's not something that you do on purpose.

00:44:27.120 You mispronounce it.

00:44:28.760 It's an accident.

00:44:29.400 It happens.

00:44:29.940 Like when I mispronounce Kamala Harris's name, totally, it's a total accident.

00:44:37.520 I don't mean to do it every time.

00:44:40.200 Asian names are, um, unusual in the West, right?

00:44:43.200 And they're difficult for us to pronounce because they use sounds that aren't common in our language.

00:44:48.080 The same goes in the reverse.

00:44:50.660 Many English words and names are difficult for many Asians to pronounce because our language uses sounds that aren't common in their language.

00:44:58.200 I could never imagine moving to a foreign country on the other side of the world and then getting mad at them, having the gumption, the gall to be mad at them because they struggle to pronounce my extremely unusual name. 0.99

00:45:10.900 Extremely unusual to them, that is.

00:45:13.920 I mean, what is their actual sin?

00:45:15.200 What am I blaming them for?

00:45:16.520 Am I angry at them simply for being Asian?

00:45:19.080 Simply for having their language and not mine?

00:45:21.700 Isn't that racist on my part?

00:45:25.920 By the way, one other note.

00:45:28.040 I have no doubt that Michelle Kim and other Asians experienced some bullying in school when kids laughed at and snickered at their unusual names.

00:45:35.040 Unusual to them, to the other kids in this country.

00:45:38.780 I have no doubt, you know, that that happened.

00:45:40.900 And I have no doubt that it was tough to deal with as a child.

00:45:44.800 I'm sure that's the case.

00:45:46.520 But you're not a child anymore.

00:45:49.020 It's time to move past that.

00:45:50.660 Get over it.

00:45:52.060 Guess what?

00:45:52.940 Everybody got laughed at and picked on for something in school.

00:45:55.960 There was something about everyone that was deemed unusual and strange to the other kids.

00:46:00.920 And they laughed about it.

00:46:01.840 If it wasn't your name, it was some physical feature.

00:46:04.280 If it wasn't that, it was some personality quirk.

00:46:06.140 If it wasn't that, then it was something else.

00:46:07.540 How you dressed.

00:46:08.580 Whatever.

00:46:09.820 Anything.

00:46:10.780 We all got it.

00:46:12.080 We all dealt with it.

00:46:13.640 You're not different.

00:46:14.600 You're not special.

00:46:15.500 You're the same as everybody else.

00:46:18.580 Time to move on.

00:46:19.520 You're an adult now.

00:46:20.720 And also, you're canceled.

00:46:23.240 But there's one more.

00:46:24.680 Jay Leno.

00:46:26.200 Variety reports this.

00:46:27.380 says, quote, late night host and comedian Jay Leno has issued an apology for a series

00:46:31.880 of jokes told over his career targeting Asian communities.

00:46:34.440 The apology comes after nearly 15 year campaign from the activist group Media Action, that is

00:46:40.480 Media Action Network for Asian Americans, for remarks as recent as Variety's 2020 report

00:46:45.380 that Leno cracked about Koreans eating dog meat, a complaint that offended numerous players

00:46:51.940 on the set of NBC's America's Got Talent.

00:46:54.800 At the time, and this is Leno now talking, at the time I did those jokes, I genuinely thought

00:46:59.600 that they were harmless.

00:47:01.600 I was making fun of our enemy, North Korea. 1.00

00:47:03.860 And like most jokes, there was a ring of truth to them.

00:47:06.880 Leno continued, at the time, there was a prevailing attitude that some group is always complaining

00:47:10.480 about something, so don't worry about it.

00:47:12.560 Whenever we received a complaint, there would be two sides to the discussion.

00:47:15.560 Either we need to deal with this or screw them if they can't take a joke.

00:47:19.180 Too many times I sided with the latter, even when in my heart I knew it was wrong.

00:47:23.240 In light of that, Leno said, quote, I am issuing this apology.

00:47:26.260 I do not consider this particular case to be another example of cancel culture, but a legitimate

00:47:30.020 wrong that was done on my part.

00:47:32.600 Manna has been very gracious in accepting my apology.

00:47:35.080 I hope that the Asian American community will be able to accept it as well, and I hope I can

00:47:38.200 live up to their expectations in the future.

00:47:41.420 Now, apparently nearly all of the anti-Asian jokes were about Asians eating dog meat.

00:47:46.300 And that's what Leno was apologizing for.

00:47:49.320 But he was right the first time.

00:47:51.140 See, he was right when he had the screw them if they don't take, they can't take a joke

00:47:55.320 attitude.

00:47:55.900 That's the right attitude.

00:47:56.760 That's also the only attitude a comedian can have if he wishes to remain a comedian.

00:48:02.140 As for jokes about Asians eating dogs, well, let me put this delicately, Asians do eat dogs. 1.00

00:48:10.280 It's a little less common now than it used to be, but it's still very common.

00:48:14.440 The BBC has a report on their website from 2017 titled, The Countries Where People Still

00:48:19.040 Eat Cats and Dogs for Dinner.

00:48:20.680 And it says, citing the Human Society International, that, quote, an estimated 30 million dogs across

00:48:25.800 Asia, including stolen family pets, are still killed for human consumption every year.

00:48:30.400 30 million. 0.80

00:48:32.460 So, Asians eat dogs. 1.00

00:48:35.080 That's a factual statement.

00:48:36.700 Not all Asians, of course, but it's a stereotype firmly grounded in reality.

00:48:43.080 What's racist here?

00:48:44.480 Is it racist to point it out?

00:48:46.060 Is it racist simply to notice what is true?

00:48:49.100 So, is the BBC racist for reporting on this incident at all?

00:48:53.280 Or this fact at all?

00:48:55.280 Or is it racist to joke about what's true?

00:49:00.200 What else are you going to joke about?

00:49:02.160 Jokes about what isn't true aren't very funny.

00:49:06.240 You know, when someone's making observational humor and they're observing something that isn't

00:49:10.560 true, you're not going to laugh about that.

00:49:12.860 From our perspective, okay, from our perspective in the West, eating dogs is strange.

00:49:22.460 It's weird.

00:49:23.280 It's odd.

00:49:24.260 Just like someone from another country might look at our obsession with fast food and find

00:49:28.960 it sort of peculiar and humorous.

00:49:31.160 And so, they might make jokes about it.

00:49:33.000 And they do make jokes about it.

00:49:34.960 We, likewise, might notice some of the dietary habits in other parts of the world and get our

00:49:39.020 own chuckles out of it.

00:49:39.980 So what?

00:49:40.700 I mean, I like fast food as much as the next guy, but it's not sacred.

00:49:44.620 It's not some sort of hallowed sacrament.

00:49:48.140 It is kind of weird that we eat so much of it.

00:49:51.020 There are plenty of funny things you can say about the fact that we eat so much of it.

00:49:55.580 That we spend so much of our lives in drive-thru lines.

00:49:59.100 It's kind of sad, but also funny.

00:50:01.440 There are things you can say.

00:50:02.620 There's observations you can make about it.

00:50:04.360 Comedians make those observations all the time.

00:50:06.820 There's ample material here for jokes, so have at it.

00:50:09.340 I don't see why we can't have the same attitude and the same approach about eating dogs or

00:50:14.820 eating anything else that people eat.

00:50:17.460 Here's the thing.

00:50:19.480 The people who are trying to stop us from telling any jokes that have anything to do with race

00:50:23.840 will say that their goal is to have greater inclusion and racial harmony.

00:50:31.580 But their goal is exactly the opposite.

00:50:34.560 Because the way to have inclusion and harmony, or something close to harmony, as close as you can get to it,

00:50:39.560 the way to do that is to joke.

00:50:42.180 It is to prod at the sacred cows.

00:50:44.420 It is to see the absurdity in ourselves and each other and laugh about it.

00:50:50.220 You cannot ever be included in a group, be it a friend group or a country,

00:50:54.180 if you demand that nobody jokes about you, that nobody can tell any jokes about you.

00:50:59.860 And you know that you're not really included, that they don't really consider you one of them

00:51:04.860 if they're not joking about you.

00:51:06.700 This is especially true for men, I can tell you.

00:51:09.860 If you're with a group of guys, and they're all making fun of each other and ragging on each other,

00:51:15.240 and often, if you've been around guys in this environment, the jokes can be brutal.

00:51:20.980 I mean, I forget about racial, it's like only the start of it.

00:51:24.600 These can be brutal jokes to each other.

00:51:28.040 But this is how they bond, and everyone's laughing and having a good time.

00:51:30.840 And if you're in this group, and you're noticing this, and nobody is throwing any barbs at you,

00:51:37.760 it's not because they all respect you so deeply, or they care about you more than they care about each other.

00:51:43.920 Quite the opposite.

00:51:44.880 It means they don't feel as comfortable with you.

00:51:47.600 It means they don't like you as much.

00:51:49.480 They don't know you like that.

00:51:51.120 They don't consider you a friend.

00:51:52.320 They don't consider you one of them.

00:51:54.240 It is at the moment that one of them turns to you and says, 0.99

00:51:57.840 Hey, dumbass, that's when you know you're a part of the tribe. 1.00

00:52:02.340 That's when you know that you belong. 1.00

00:52:05.360 Now, I think this holds true on a much larger level.

00:52:07.180 I think it holds true on a national level.

00:52:09.620 And what it means is that the more we stop people from joking about each other,

00:52:14.120 the more we stop people from joking about each other,

00:52:17.720 the more we stop them from fitting in.

00:52:19.620 The more we stop them from being included, from getting along.

00:52:23.100 So this is a very long way of saying that Jay Leno is canceled.

00:52:28.660 So is Meghan McCain.

00:52:29.580 So is the other woman I mentioned.

00:52:32.820 All canceled.

00:52:33.820 Canceled, canceled, canceled.

00:52:34.960 All of them.

00:52:35.980 And we will leave it there for today.

00:52:38.020 Thanks for watching.

00:52:38.600 Thanks for listening.

00:52:39.260 Have a great day.
