00:00:00.000 Today on The Matt Walsh Show, we're going to discuss the sexually explicit satanic new song from the rapper Lil Nas X.
00:00:06.740 What makes it especially evil is that he spent the last two years carefully cultivating a following of very young children.
00:00:13.960 So once again, the music industry preys on kids.
00:00:16.820 Also, five headlines, including the trial of Derek Chauvin, gets underway.
00:00:19.940 Joe Biden says it's our patriotic duty to wear masks.
00:00:23.100 And the CDC director has basically an emotional breakdown on TV.
00:00:26.700 In our daily cancellation, we'll talk about the teacher who's caught on video trying to racially brainwash a student.
00:00:32.780 The video is pretty disturbing, but important.
00:00:35.220 So we'll play that, all of that and more today on The Matt Walsh Show.
00:00:44.880 The discussion around the new song and video from Lil Nas X, which features the rapper sliding down to hell on a stripper pole and giving a lap dance to Satan,
00:00:54.880 has mostly focused on the allegedly shocking nature of the content.
00:00:59.480 But there's nothing new about a musical artist, I use that term loosely, resorting to satanic imagery in order to generate publicity and controversy.
00:01:07.540 Guys like Marilyn Manson, Rob Zombie, you know, they were doing it in the 90s.
00:01:11.800 Metal bands were doing it before them.
00:01:14.140 Ozzy Osbourne was decapitating bats with his teeth on stage two decades before Lil Nas X was even born.
00:01:19.800 The fact that all of this stuff has been done before doesn't make it any less abhorrent, but it does make it banal and uninteresting.
00:01:29.660 We have reason to object to this sort of material, but no reason to be shocked by it, is the point.
00:01:35.720 We also miss the point if we're focused only on the content itself, as if it exists in a vacuum.
00:01:41.820 If Lil Nas X is blazing any new trails, it's only because he's the first person, I think, to go this route less than a year after performing with Elmo on Sesame Street.
00:01:54.740 This is the song, la, la, la, la, la, Elmo song.
00:02:00.320 La, la, la, la, la, la, Elmo song.
00:02:05.140 La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la.
00:02:08.620 Hey, look at you!
00:02:09.940 La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la.
00:02:14.060 He loves to sing, la, la, la, la, Elmo song.
00:02:18.780 La, la, la, la, la, la, la, Elmo song.
00:02:23.920 Now.
00:02:24.740 There he is on Sesame Street with his first hit, Old Town Road, a song so bad that it makes you
00:02:31.520 long for the traditional country stylings of, you know, Luke Bryan. Lil Nas X gained a large
00:02:37.860 audience of very young children. And this was no accident. The rapper and his handlers made a
00:02:46.140 decision to cultivate this fan base with appearances on children's television shows,
00:02:51.160 like you just saw, performances at elementary schools. They even released a children's book.
00:02:57.320 Now, in an appearance on The View less than three months ago, he explicitly attributed his success
00:03:03.700 to children. Let's listen to that. Well, you know, with the success of Old Town Road,
00:03:10.160 you know, majority of that success I will, like, attribute to kids. And they, like,
00:03:15.180 they love this song so much. And this idea to do a children's book was brought to me,
00:03:20.080 and I was like, this makes perfect sense. Now, around the same time, a headline on NPR's
00:03:26.000 website, also from a few months ago, reports, quote, Lil Nas X says children are his core
00:03:32.160 audience right now, and that's okay. Well, turns out it's really not okay. While responding to the
00:03:39.040 backlash on Twitter this week, the artist said that he, quote, had nine months to plan this rollout
00:03:45.740 and brag that, quote, y'all are not gonna win, talking about his critics like me. Now, while he
00:03:52.660 deserves praise for composing a mostly coherent tweet there with correct punctuation, a bar that
00:03:57.560 he doesn't often seem to reach, what this boast really confirms is that he and his record label
00:04:02.660 were very intentionally building his kindergarten fan base while also planning at the same time
00:04:09.380 this move into demonic and pornographic territory. Marilyn Manson, you know, wasn't doing sing-alongs
00:04:18.580 with Elmo or appearing on The View to talk about his children's book three months before Antichrist
00:04:23.960 Superstar came out. The record industry, along with Hollywood, has always had designs on your
00:04:30.480 children. We know that. What makes this notable right now is how incredibly blatant it is and how young
00:04:38.260 their targets are. Granted, you know, it's not the fault of Lil Nas X or his record label, Columbia
00:04:44.980 Records, by the way, if you allowed your five-year-old to listen to his music on repeat. That doesn't get
00:04:52.120 them off the hook. The fact that you shouldn't have allowed them to prey on your kids doesn't provide
00:04:56.300 them a moral justification for doing so. Still, it's worth noting the lyrics to the song that
00:05:02.560 elementary schools invited Lil Nas X to come perform. Here's part of the second verse. It says,
00:05:07.820 riding on a tractor, lean all in my bladder, cheated on my baby. You can go and ask her.
00:05:12.960 My life is a movie, bull riding and boobies. Now, not only is this the most aggressively
00:05:19.960 stupid assemblage of words that the English language has ever been forced to endure, 0.50
00:05:25.180 it's also not exactly family friendly. I mean, why were you letting your kids sing this?
00:05:32.160 He is, after all, singing about driving his tractor while hopped up on cough syrup and alcohol
00:05:36.800 after cheating on his significant other. If you let your third grader go around singing the line,
00:05:43.580 my life is a movie, bull riding and boobies, a significant amount of the blame has to fall
00:05:49.580 at your own feet. But this, again, does not excuse the music industry predators who are trying to remake
00:05:58.700 your children in their own image as brain dead degenerates, but it does provide a valuable learning
00:06:07.220 opportunity. The lesson is that the entertainment industry, with a rare exception, is not on your
00:06:15.260 side. It has its own notions about what sort of person your child should be, what values he should
00:06:21.340 hold, what ideas he should have, how he should speak, what he should wear, everything, who he should hang
00:06:28.980 out with, how he should conduct himself. And not only has these plans for your kid, but it also possesses
00:06:35.820 perhaps the most powerful mechanism for enacting them. Art, you know, even bad art, moves people in ways
00:06:44.520 that no other medium can. Which is why, by the way, it's also very stupid when you hear even
00:06:50.920 conservatives who will look at something like this and they'll say, well, it's just a song. What's the
00:06:55.400 big deal? Don't make a big deal out of it. Just a song. Oh yeah, well, that's right. It's, it's,
00:07:01.760 it's only art. It's only the number one thing that moves and motivates people. That's all it is.
00:07:07.000 It's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's something that perhaps like nothing else can,
00:07:12.180 can mold a, you know, your, your heart and your mind. That's it. No big deal. You morons.
00:07:22.080 Now it's, it's likely that millions of children who are subscribed to the little, not the little
00:07:26.920 Nas X YouTube channel, um, and allowed by foolish parents to use YouTube without supervision.
00:07:32.760 It's likely that millions of them were exposed to his Satan lap dance video over the weekend,
00:07:38.560 which was put out without warning. Of course, no attempt made by, uh, the rapper himself or the
00:07:46.720 record label to warn anybody or say, Hey, you know, we're, we're making a move now into adult
00:07:51.900 territory. Uh, don't let your kid watch this. If they're subscribed to our YouTube channel,
00:07:56.400 probably unsubscribe. None of that. Of course. YouTube itself puts parental filters
00:08:02.740 on all kinds of videos, especially videos that contain conservative political opinions,
00:08:07.300 but they didn't put one on the video with the guy singing about performing fellatio on another man
00:08:13.140 while gyrating on the devil's lap. Now this doesn't mean when you think about all these kids exposed to
00:08:20.520 this over the weekend, um, this doesn't mean that all, all of them are going to run off and join
00:08:24.560 the satanic temple. Maybe some of them will, but it does mean that they will be exposed and were
00:08:31.620 exposed to depraved ideas and images that they don't understand and can't mentally filter or
00:08:39.420 process. All they're going to know is that the message is coming from their favorite singer,
00:08:45.220 the man who wrote that fun book and saying that silly song on Sesame street. And so it can't be that
00:08:51.580 bad. This is how the grooming process works. And it's why you have to protect your children from it 0.98
00:09:00.260 because nobody else will. Now let's get to our five headlines.
00:09:11.820 Before we get to our five headlines, I want to tell you about our sponsors ready wise.
00:09:15.260 You never know what's going to happen. What emergency might happen. Nobody knew that
00:09:19.000 Texas was going to lose power for several days. Uh, here in Nashville, we had major flooding last week,
00:09:24.900 a heart, hard to predict these kinds of things, especially, especially, you know,
00:09:28.680 you might know a few days ahead of time. You're not going to know weeks and weeks and weeks ahead
00:09:31.280 of time. And that's why you need a ready wise. Ready wise is the leader in emergency food supplies.

00:10:44.780 and not, not a lot of, it's just starting now. So not a lot of news really to come out of the trial
00:10:51.040 itself. Um, except that the continued threats, and there was more of this on social media yesterday,
00:10:58.420 some, some bigger platforms, bigger accounts. Um, and we've seen this now for months, it explicitly
00:11:06.640 threatening and saying, if this trial doesn't go the way we want, we're going to burn down the city
00:11:11.940 again, which is why if, if there was any real interest here in a fair trial, uh, at a minimum,
00:11:19.400 they would have moved the trial to a different place because there's simply no way that, or, or,
00:11:27.200 or it would seem very unlikely that Derek Chauvin could get a fair trial. It'd be hard to find
00:11:33.940 anywhere in the country where you get one, but certainly not there of all places. This is,
00:11:39.020 this is the threat. Now, normally, um, when you've got people threatening jurors
00:11:45.740 with, with, with harm, whether to them physically or to their communities, if they don't come to a
00:11:53.520 certain verdict, like that's normally ground from grounds for a mistrial. And that's what's happening
00:11:58.640 here. They're saying, give us what we want, or we're going to burn down the city and a bunch of
00:12:06.020 other cities too. Burn down, by the way, our own communities. Give us what we want. We're going
00:12:11.820 to burn our own neighborhoods to the ground to show how concerned we are about systemic racism.
00:12:18.880 And it just, it, it just goes to show again, that, uh, what has been clear from the beginning,
00:12:23.500 of course, is, and that is that, you know, the left, the media, they are not at all interested in
00:12:31.040 getting to the truth of the situation. They're not at all interested in justice.
00:12:38.540 This isn't about George Floyd. It never was. Uh, this certainly is not about police brutality.
00:12:44.840 It was never about police brutality. If it, if, if, if the real, if the concern here by BLM,
00:12:51.900 the media and the left was police brutality, and that's what they were worried about. And that's
00:12:55.700 what they were speaking out about. Then, um, there are many clear, clear cases of police brutality
00:13:03.100 that have been caught on video that they would be using to make their point. They would at least
00:13:09.160 be protesting over, but they don't. You've heard me talk about plenty of times, uh, the case of Daniel
00:13:15.720 Shaver, but that, that case, maybe if you, there, there are so many things that, that discredit the BLM
00:13:23.260 has done so much to discredit itself from the very beginning. Uh, I mean the, the very first case
00:13:28.260 really that, um, uh, around which BLM was born the Michael Brown case that, that discredited him right
00:13:35.820 off the bat because that was all false narrative. And Michael Brown was, um, entirely guilty of
00:13:40.780 trying to kill the officer and brought his, his death on, on, on his own self. But any, but if there's,
00:13:46.400 if there's one other case we wanted to look to point to that would discredit BLM and prove what
00:13:51.920 they're really about, it's, it's, it is, uh, the Daniel Shaver case because this was the guy
00:13:57.140 in, um, I believe it was, it was in Arizona, uh, white guy on video in a hotel, in a, in a, the,
00:14:07.840 the hallway of a hotel, um, crawling on his knees at the, at the commands, according to the commands
00:14:15.480 of the police officers, there are more than one police, two or three police officers in the hallway
00:14:19.680 training guns on him, telling him to get on his knees, giving him all kinds of confusing
00:14:24.760 instructions. First saying, get on your knees, put your hands up at one point telling him,
00:14:29.920 put your hands up and then also crawl. Like how are you supposed to crawl while also having your
00:14:34.260 hands up? I don't know how that's supposed to work, but Daniel Shaver has guns trained on him
00:14:38.740 and they're, and they're, they're threatening to shoot him multiple times saying, we're going to
00:14:41.360 shoot you. And, um, and he's also been drinking, which that's not against the law to drink in a hotel
00:14:46.640 room. And he's getting all these instructions and he tries to follow them. He makes one false
00:14:51.520 move. It's like a game of Simon says he makes one false move and they shoot him dead all on video.
00:14:57.620 The worst police shooting that has ever been caught on tape. I think we can say that
00:15:02.860 there's no, and then the officers in that case or the one officer anyway was acquitted.
00:15:11.320 The only officer to be charged was acquitted. The acquittal happened a couple of years ago.
00:15:18.260 Do you remember any riots in response to that? BLM was active by then, had been active for years.
00:15:25.560 No riots. There were a couple of scattered protests, no big major headlines. Most people
00:15:33.740 don't know this guy's name, George Floyd. He's got all the murals and everything else.
00:15:41.320 So why did they skip over that case? If you're concerned about police brutality,
00:15:47.300 there you go. It would make no sense to skip over that. Well, they skip it obviously because the
00:15:53.000 guy's white and they don't care. And they hate white people. They don't care if white people die.
00:15:57.240 In fact, they're probably happy that he, that he died. And it's also not about police brutality at all.
00:16:03.420 Right now, Derek Chauvin's situation is, doesn't, doesn't matter guilty or not. He is a representative
00:16:10.760 of, of, of, of white America really. He's a, he is now a representative of the perceived sins of 0.84
00:16:21.100 whiteness. And they need him to pay a price. Not for what he did, but on behalf of all evil white 0.95
00:16:29.020 people everywhere. And if he doesn't pay that price, they're going to burn the city and many
00:16:36.740 other cities to the ground. Okay. Number two, yesterday, Joe Biden called on Americans to do
00:16:42.560 their patriotic duty, which I think is, that's an important thing for presidents to encourage
00:16:50.100 Americans to do. But our ideas now of what a patriotic duty entails, those ideas have really
00:16:57.620 changed. Let's listen to Joe Biden. I'm reiterating my call for every governor, mayor, and local leader
00:17:03.100 to maintain and reinstate the mask mandate. Please, this is not politics. Reinstate the mandate if you
00:17:11.960 let it down. And businesses require masks as well. The failure to take this virus seriously
00:17:18.680 precisely. Precisely what got us in this mess in the first place. Risk more cases, more desks,
00:17:25.960 deaths. Look, as I do my part to accelerate the vaccine distribution and vaccinations,
00:17:32.560 I need the American people to do their part as well. Mask up, mask up. It's a patriotic duty.
00:17:40.360 It's the only way we ever get back to normal. To cheer together in stadiums full of fans.
00:17:49.840 To gather together on holidays again safely. Go to graduations, weddings.
00:17:55.600 What is with the whispering? Please, I need you to do your patriotic duty. He whispers. He goes
00:18:01.640 from whispering to shouting. At one point I said, I think he said something about avoiding all the
00:18:07.440 desks, but he meant death. I think I picked up on that. Words are slurring together. As always,
00:18:14.280 the vacant look in his eyes. But this is our patriotic duty now, is to obey. Is to obey him.
00:18:21.040 That's what our patriotic duty is. To simply obey what we're told. And to muzzle ourselves when we're
00:18:26.760 out in public. Even though at this point, hundreds of millions of Americans are, would be immune because
00:18:38.040 either they've got the vaccine or they've already had the virus. So many, many, many millions.
00:18:44.440 When you go out in public and you're at Walmart or whatever, a large portion of the people there
00:18:51.880 are immune to the virus. Either because of prior exposure or because they, they had the vaccine.
00:19:00.060 Yeah. Biden wants to reinstate the mask mandate everywhere.
00:19:05.920 Now, meanwhile, Harry Leitman at the LA Times, he tweeted this as we talk about vaccine passports,
00:19:15.300 right? There's a, there's a move. Biden administration is, is thinking about and stating
00:19:20.200 this. Uh, Harry Leitman says vaccine passports are a good idea. Among other things, it will single out
00:19:25.820 the, the still large contingent of people who refuse vaccines, who will now be foreclosed from doing a
00:19:32.060 lot of things their peers can do. That should help break the resistance down. So not only do we
00:19:38.540 not force you to wear the mask, but, uh, we're going to break, we're going to break you.
00:19:44.700 That's, that's the language that's being used. We're going to, we're going to break you, um,
00:19:49.700 with public shaming and foreclosing your opportunity to participate in society. If you don't get the
00:19:55.240 vaccine, I just love again, how the, uh, bodily autonomy argument by the left has been totally abandoned
00:20:04.940 over the last year out the window. This completely got my body, my choice out the window. Now,
00:20:16.540 what we know is that they've thrown it out the window, but when this is all passed and this is
00:20:21.960 all over, whenever that is like 10 years from now, um, they're going to go climb out the window and grab
00:20:27.020 the bodily autonomy argument and drag it back inside and start using it again. And they'll get away with
00:20:31.980 it too. Because a year from now or two years from now, or a decade from now, whenever we're past this,
00:20:39.400 um, and they start, and they start doing my body, my choice, bodily autonomy in relation to abortion.
00:20:44.980 And if you say, Hey, wait a second, or you just saying, Oh, that's what about ism. You'll be accused
00:20:51.480 of what about ism. And you can't do a what about ism for some reason when you're saying, okay,
00:20:59.260 you're making this argument now, what about the argument you just made five seconds ago?
00:21:06.120 For some reason, that's considered a cheap tactic and we're not supposed to do that.
00:21:12.980 Now, the way around it, um, when I brought this up in the past, I've been told that,
00:21:18.520 that this is different because, um, you know, forcing someone to get a vaccine, forcing them to
00:21:24.560 wear a mask. Uh, yeah, you're forcing them to do something with their own body, but it's, it's all
00:21:29.580 about, uh, making sure that you don't harm somebody else. And so that's, that's what this is really
00:21:35.820 about. You can't, they say, you can't use the, my body, my choice deal, because, uh, this is not
00:21:40.140 about your body. It's about someone else's body who you might harm. Oh, okay. So in an abortion, 0.75
00:21:47.740 when you, um, dismember the quote unquote fetus, is that your own body or is that another body
00:21:59.180 that you're harming? I'm pretty sure that's another body. So what you're telling us is that
00:22:07.200 it's okay sometimes to require someone to do something with their body, even to the extent
00:22:13.960 of, of requiring them to inject a substance into their body. It's okay to require that to mandate
00:22:20.800 it by law, uh, for the sake of protecting another person's body. Huh? Well, okay. You know, I would
00:22:31.300 even take this deal. Um, I, I, I personally would, I would take this deal. If we can all agree that from
00:22:39.320 now on the, my body, my choice, uh, argument out the window, you can't use it anymore. And that
00:22:44.120 include that, that's includes abortion. So, all right, you could do the mask mandate. You could
00:22:51.140 even do the vaccine mandate, but abortion, but you lose abortion. That's a deal I would take. 0.67
00:22:59.580 All right. Um, number three, the new CDC director had something of an emotional breakdown on TV,
00:23:07.060 not, not, not doing a lot to help women professionals all across the globe with this
00:23:11.280 performance, but here she is. When I first started at CDC about two months ago, I made a promise to
00:23:17.460 you. I would tell you the truth, even if it was not the news we wanted to hear now is one of those
00:23:23.300 times when I have to share the truth and I have to hope and trust you will listen. I'm going to pause
00:23:29.300 here. I'm going to lose the script and I'm going to reflect on the recurring feeling I have of
00:23:34.740 impending doom. We have so much to look forward to so much promise and potential of where we are
00:23:41.580 and so much reason for hope. But right now I'm scared. Um, I know what it's like as a physician
00:23:48.020 to stand in that patient room, downed, gloved, masked, shielded, and to be the last person to
00:23:56.480 touch someone else's loved one because their loved one couldn't be there. I know what it's like when
00:24:02.020 you're the physician, when you're the healthcare provider, and you're worried that you don't have
00:24:06.000 the resources to take care of the patients in front of you. I know that feeling of nausea when
00:24:11.860 you read the crisis standards of care and you wonder whether there are going to be enough
00:24:16.020 ventilators to go around and who's going to make that choice. And I know what it's like to pull up to
00:24:22.020 your hospital every day and see the extra morgue sitting outside. I didn't know at the time when it
00:24:29.380 would, when it would stop. We didn't have the science to tell us. We were just scared. We have
00:24:34.780 come such a long way. Three historic scientific breakthrough vaccines, and we are rolling them
00:24:43.200 out so very fast. So I'm speaking today not necessarily as your CDC director and not only as
00:24:49.980 your CDC director, but as a wife, as a mother, as a daughter, to ask you to just please hold on a
00:24:57.240 little while longer. I so badly want to be done. I know you all so badly want to be done. We are just
00:25:03.380 almost there, but not quite yet. So they just can't stand the fact, first of all, that people are,
00:25:10.140 the virus is receding. And I think they're not, they can't stand that because they can't stand the
00:25:16.280 idea that they're going to lose a lot of the power that they have and a lot of prominence that they
00:25:18.780 have right now. Virus is receding. Millions of people are immune. We're getting into the warmer
00:25:26.260 months. People are, lots of people are feeling better. They want to, they want to get out.
00:25:30.580 They want to resume their lives. People like this, this woman at CDC, you know, she sees these images
00:25:36.860 of, uh, of Americans walking outside, enjoying the sunshine. And maybe they don't have a mask on,
00:25:42.400 God forbid. They're at the beach feeling like they're getting their life back. The kids are out
00:25:47.540 again at the playground. And this isn't the case everywhere, unfortunately, but more and more.
00:25:52.440 And me, I, I see this and any, and hopefully you, any normal, well-adjusted person, you see this and
00:25:58.880 you feel great about it. This is finally, finally, but, uh, CDC director, Joe Biden, Dr. Fauci, these
00:26:04.840 people, these anti-human bureaucrats, they see it and it fills them with rage because they know that
00:26:12.780 they're losing their grip. They're losing control over people. They don't like it. And so now she's on
00:26:17.420 TV crying and saying that she's scared and she has a feeling of impending doom.
00:26:25.280 As I said, not, not, not a great performance in terms of, um, representing for female professionals
00:26:36.440 saying she's scared and it's impending doom. It's receding. We're getting past it.
00:26:45.300 And you're talking about impending doom. They really can't, they don't want to let go. They
00:26:52.820 cannot let go. All right. Um, let's see. Here's a story out of Australia where they not only have
00:27:00.460 to deal with man-eating spiders, but they're going insane on top of it. Just like everywhere else.
00:27:06.640 You know, the rest, the rest of us are going crazy also, but at least we don't have the spiders.
00:27:10.240 Uh, they've got both things to deal with in Australia. Here's the story there. Let's watch.
00:27:13.160 Parents at a Victorian school are outraged after their sons were forced to stand up at a school
00:27:18.620 assembly and say, sorry for sexism. The boys at the college in Warrnambool were told to apologize
00:27:23.480 to girls for offensive behavior on behalf of their gender. He said that he was made to stand up and
00:27:33.500 basically apologize. It wasn't explained properly to the male students what they were doing or why
00:27:39.900 they were doing it. The school now admits while their intentions were good, they got it wrong in
00:27:44.960 this case. No, actually, I don't think the intentions were good at all. You were trying to
00:27:50.500 shame boys for being boys. They had to apologize on behalf of their own gender.
00:27:56.300 This is the, this is the collective race-based and gender-based guilt that is part of the leftist
00:28:08.500 cult. One of the, one of the, the essential foundational parts of their religious cult of
00:28:16.540 their doctrine is the idea of collective guilt. Uh, that's, that's based on, on, uh, it's,
00:28:22.240 it's sort of like their, it's their own version, their own perverse version of original sin,
00:28:28.520 except in this case, it's based on race and it's based on gender. Okay. Number five from the
00:28:33.020 Jerusalem post that says earth is safe from a potential calamity causing asteroid for the next
00:28:37.240 100 years. According to NASA, the announcement clears up fears that had lingered since 2004
00:28:42.640 when the asteroid 9942 was identified as one of the most hazardous potential asteroids that could
00:28:48.540 strike the planet. However, this has now been ruled out. Thanks to a growing
00:28:51.900 understanding of how the asteroid is orbit, uh, of the asteroid and its orbit by astronomers,
00:28:55.840 as well as new radar observations using precise orbit analysis at an estimated 1000 feet in diameter.
00:29:02.080 The asteroid was set to veer close to the planet in 2029. Later assessments pushed that back to 2036
00:29:07.520 and then to 2068. Now there's a high degree of confidence among astronomers that there is no
00:29:13.480 chance of impacting earth. And now they're saying that we have about a hundred years, probably
00:29:17.220 where we don't have to worry about any asteroids hitting the earth and destroying all mankind.
00:29:21.260 And I know you probably feel exactly as I do when I read this and it, and that is sorely
00:29:26.120 disappointed. This is the, this is the worst news we've gotten in weeks. This was, this was our,
00:29:32.400 this was, this was the escape plan. We always had that asteroid. Anytime I saw a little,
00:29:38.200 little Nas X's video, you see that you think, well, look, at least we got the asteroid. Put us all out of
00:29:43.320 our misery. Not anymore. We've got to wait a hundred years. That's too bad. Okay. Uh, a bonus here.
00:29:48.980 I also wanted to mention this before we get into, uh, YouTube comments and daily cancellation,
00:29:53.960 just because it gives me a chance to speaking of YouTube, it gives me a chance to plug
00:29:57.980 some content on, on YouTube. I did a review of Addison Rae's new pop single on my YouTube channel,
00:30:05.000 which you can go watch. If you don't know who Addison Rae is, well, then you're in the boat
00:30:08.820 that I was in about three days ago before I did the video. But apparently she's a TikTok star
00:30:12.700 who now, uh, is a pop star. She, she came up with this pop song. Um, and she went on, um,
00:30:20.740 the tonight show to promote this song and do a little dancing. And now she's in trouble. Here's
00:30:24.560 the LA times reporting. They say many of TikTok's viral dance challenges were started by black
00:30:30.880 creators, but you wouldn't know that by watching Friday's episode of the tonight show, which saw
00:30:36.540 one of the app's biggest stars, Addison Rae performed several dances without crediting their
00:30:40.560 choreographers. What was intended as a fun moment between Rae and host Jimmy Fallon or both white 0.75
00:30:46.420 backfired over the weekend as Twitter users demanded recognition for the people whose
00:30:49.960 choreography was featured on the show. So she did some racist dancing. I think we have the video.
00:30:54.960 Let's just play some of the video here of, uh, so you can see what this racist dancing looks like
00:30:59.060 from Addison Rae. Can we play this? Okay. And they just, now they're, they're going through and
00:31:08.780 doing these different, I guess these are all viral dance challenges and she's going through
00:31:12.080 and doing all these dances, which first thing is I don't watch late night shows at all,
00:31:19.140 but, um, aren't they supposed to be funny? Is this, is this supposed to be a funny gag?
00:31:24.460 She's dancing. So it is kind of funny because she's so bad at it. 0.99
00:31:29.060 That's the most shocking thing to me. I don't know anything about this woman,
00:31:34.800 but now she's a pop star. A lot of, a lot of fans, 0.95
00:31:38.860 but with pop stars, you expect them. Yeah. The music's going to be terrible.
00:31:44.520 Uh, but you expect them at least to know how to dance. And this to me strikes me as really bad dance.
00:31:50.600 And the third point I will make here, just watching that is, um,
00:31:53.600 we can turn this off. Okay. That's enough of that. The jeans that she's wearing. So she's got
00:31:58.940 these, what are these? The mom jeans, really baggy holes in the jeans. And I guess is this,
00:32:05.040 this is the style now. I don't want to bring up, we're not getting into the skinny jean
00:32:08.060 conversation again. I'm, I'm only saying, and I'm not advocating for skinny jeans. Don't accuse me of
00:32:11.760 it. I'm only saying what is happening right now. I guess this is what the kids are doing now.
00:32:18.020 The super baggy jeans with holes in them, you know, and no, I, I, I'm not going, we, I live that
00:32:26.900 life. Okay. We as millennials, we we've done that. We've been there. We did that in the nineties.
00:32:34.480 Can we, I guess my only question is, can we, as a society, I know we can't agree on much. We can't
00:32:42.160 come to very many compromises on anything, but can we sit down and have a conversation and figure
00:32:49.360 and, and, and, and settle on one style of jeans? I don't understand why it has to change drastically
00:32:56.620 every eight years. Can we settle on one style, something really basic boot cut, whatever. I don't
00:33:04.980 know why we can't do that. Um, and I, you know, when I was a kid, I did think the baggy jeans
00:33:09.840 style was, you know, fashionable, but looking at it now, it looks completely ridiculous. Okay.
00:33:15.860 Let's moving on to, uh, move on to reading the YouTube comments. This is from big Mac. He says,
00:33:20.760 all we have to do is argue that you should need a vaccine passport to vote and watch how quickly
00:33:25.140 the left will abandon the idea. That's, that is, that is an interesting point. Now, I hope that by
00:33:33.360 the time we get to voting, uh, even in 2022, we're not still having this conversation about vaccine
00:33:37.920 passports, but, uh, you know, that might be optimistic. So we'll see, we'll see how they
00:33:41.080 handle that. Um, Cade says Matt blinks too loudly. So his wife retaliates by putting syrup in the 0.93
00:33:47.780 fridge. I love this marriage. That's closer to the reality than you, than you might think. Um,
00:33:55.020 Aaron Peacock says, Hey Matt, just want to say thank you for this podcast. I believe you're one of the
00:33:58.760 most important voices of our time. So many will roll their eyes because you choose to talk about
00:34:03.300 statues being torn down, trans story hour and pre-K, uh, and the garbage on TikTok. But I
00:34:07.800 believe these are huge cultural topics that need addressing. Thanks for being unashamedly a Christian, 1.00
00:34:11.660 unabashedly conservative and unashamedly a man. Oh, and the beard is looking grizzly. No cap,
00:34:17.460 my guy. Everything was going so well, Aaron, towards the very end there. You're teetering on the,
00:34:24.240 it's very nice, but you're teetering on the edge of getting banned now with a phrase like no cap.
00:34:28.340 I don't know what that means. No cap. Grizzly, no cap, my guy. Is that all one expression or is,
00:34:36.680 um, Katie Lee says, speaking as a pale girl, am I being discriminated against with band-aids too?
00:34:42.140 The shade is far too dark for me. This goes both ways. There are plenty of Latinos, Asians, 1.00
00:34:46.520 and Arabs, uh, with that skin tone as well. Yeah. We learned yesterday that, um,
00:34:52.920 uh, a teacher on TikTok was talking about how another example of white privilege is that band-aid
00:34:58.300 only match white people. And I did have the same thought on top of everything else, 0.86
00:35:02.140 how stupid it is in general. Um, band-aids are generally darker, I think, than most white people, 0.99
00:35:07.940 right? Um, and another comment says, wait, wait, wait, you said, you said raised in homes without
00:35:15.800 fathers. Then you automatically go straight to black children as if other races don't have this issue 1.00
00:35:21.140 as well. Screw this dude. Yeah. No, I think I mentioned that the fatherless home problem
00:35:29.200 is increasingly a problem across the country, uh, in all communities. And I think, I, I think the
00:35:38.540 number is like 30%. I could be wrong about that generally in America, but you also can't get around
00:35:44.480 the fact that in the black community, the fatherless home, uh, figure is 70%, more than 70%.
00:35:51.020 And if you narrow that down to the inner cities is even higher than that. That is, that's, those are,
00:35:58.440 those are catastrophic numbers. Okay. The numbers in the white community for fatherless home, 0.94
00:36:04.320 those numbers are really, really bad, but 70% is catastrophic. And so, yes, we need to talk about
00:36:13.240 that. Even if it is uncomfortable. Finally, Joshua says, here's my relationship advice. Don't listen
00:36:19.280 to people who say a marriage takes work. If your relationship takes work, move on. If you truly
00:36:24.920 cared about and accepted your spouse for who they are, you shouldn't have to work to like each other.
00:36:30.100 I have to say, Joshua, that is the worst marriage advice I have ever, ever heard. If it takes work,
00:36:37.940 move on. Terrible advice. And I'm not going to ban you from the show because I think you need to,
00:36:44.980 you need to keep watching. So you'll learn a few things. Hopefully you're not married. Or I assume
00:36:49.260 if you, if you were married, you weren't married for very long with an attitude like that. No. Um,
00:36:53.700 yes, a marriage does take work. Anything worth doing takes work. Parenting takes work. Yes, 0.84
00:37:00.020 it does require work. You have to work on yourself. You have to work on your relationship.
00:37:04.680 You have to do all, you have to do work in the house. You have to do all kinds of work.
00:37:09.000 That's part of life. Anything, um, that you can derive real joy from any, any source, any potential
00:37:17.780 source of true joy and happiness and fulfillment and contentment is going to require work as well.
00:37:23.740 I, I, the only thing, the only credit I'll give you is, uh, this may apply a little bit to non
00:37:35.440 married relationships. So if you're only dating and you find that the relationship requires a lot of
00:37:43.600 work, even there where it's still very new and, um, you're, you know, you're, you're not,
00:37:50.520 you're not married yet. You don't have that commitment. You don't have a family yet.
00:37:55.180 And you find you've been dating someone say for like three months and it requires a lot of work
00:38:00.360 to keep it going. Then yeah. Okay. There I would say cut ties and move on three months into a dating
00:38:07.000 relationship. It shouldn't require a whole lot of work. So if you're doing work already, then yeah,
00:38:12.020 I think there's a good time. Send a quick test text message. That's all you got to do and say,
00:38:16.460 listen, this isn't working out and, uh, and go your separate ways and it'll be fine. You'll forget
00:38:21.220 about each other in a couple months, but marriage is a different deal. Marriage requires work for 0.60
00:38:25.760 sure. You know, as conservatives, we all say that we value the constitution. We value our second
00:38:30.960 amendment rights, but how many of us have taken the time to study these issues? How many of us have
00:38:35.940 taken the time to learn the skills that we need to defend, um, our rights and our liberties? Well,

00:40:46.180 Today we're going to cancel a teacher in Virginia's Loudoun County public school district,
00:40:51.160 though really we could cancel the whole school district itself as it is a constant source of
00:40:54.960 exactly the sort of lunacy we're going to discuss today. As the daily wire reports, quote,
00:40:59.780 video footage shows a Virginia public school teacher bullying a student for saying that he takes a
00:41:04.100 colorblind approach to observing people. A school teacher in Virginia's Loudoun County public school
00:41:08.760 district, one of the wealthiest districts in the nation was caught on tape telling a student
00:41:11.920 that it's important to see racial differences when observing people. For a class assignment,
00:41:16.740 the teacher posted a photo of two females, one with white skin and red hair, another with black skin 0.92
00:41:20.560 and black hair. Students were asked to observe what they saw in the picture. One unnamed student
00:41:26.260 responded by saying he saw just two people chilling. The teacher called the student
00:41:30.720 intentionally coy for not categorizing the women by their race. Okay, let's, let's actually, 0.92
00:41:35.700 we have the audio of that moment. Let's play that now. The story behind this picture. Um,
00:41:41.660 I'd rather hold on to that. Just tell me what this seems to be a picture of. It's just two people
00:41:49.060 chilling. Right. Just two people. There's nothing more to this picture. No, not really. Just two people
00:41:56.780 chilling. I don't believe that you believe that. Um, I don't believe that you look at this as just two
00:42:02.940 people. Um, I don't think. Truly is just two people though, is it not? Yeah, but I think you're
00:42:09.240 being, I think you're being, um, I think you're being intentionally coy about what this is a picture
00:42:14.520 of. What are you being coy about? It's two people standing back to back in a picture. Yeah. And that's all you
00:42:21.740 see is two people. I'm, I'm confused on what you would like me to, to speak on. I don't think you
00:42:27.760 are. I don't know why you do this. Um, I'm not trying to call you out, but you could, you, you,
00:42:33.780 you know, you come out off of mute to talk about what this is a picture of and you act as if, as if,
00:42:39.720 you know, there's nothing noticeable about this apart from the fact that they're two people.
00:42:44.300 Well, I'm confused. Are you trying to get me to say that there are two different races in this
00:42:48.920 picture? Well, at the end of the day, wouldn't that just be feeding into the problem of looking
00:42:54.080 at race instead of just acknowledging them as two normal people? If we're going for it, let's say 1.00
00:42:59.880 if we're looking for equality within all of this, then why would we need to point out things such
00:43:03.880 as that? Because those things, those differences are real things. A few points to make here. First,
00:43:12.080 this is what brainwashing sounds like in real time. The only difference between that and most public
00:43:16.700 school brainwashing is that in this case, the student had the wherewithal to resist it.
00:43:21.440 Now consider that most kids, not even kids, but all people, adults too, don't really possess the
00:43:26.160 critical thinking skills and backbone necessary to defy a perceived authority figure in that way.
00:43:31.340 And they especially are incapable of thinking and acting for themselves when the issue at hand is
00:43:36.800 something as toxic and emotionally charged as race and racism. Because the implied threats,
00:43:41.960 and sometimes overt threat, of course, is always, if you don't agree with me and adopt the correct
00:43:48.540 views, you will be racist. Most people cave to that threat very easily. Because in our culture
00:43:55.700 today, being called racist is the, that is the worst thing you can be labeled. Even worse than
00:44:01.100 being labeled like a pedophile. To be labeled a racist is the worst. And most people will cave to it
00:44:07.460 immediately. Now for kids, you can't blame them when they cave because they're just kids. For adults,
00:44:12.480 I do blame them. Yeah, that doesn't stop them from doing it. Also notice the nature of this brainwashing,
00:44:17.820 right? The students, they're not just being taught to believe something, like to believe a certain
00:44:24.880 proposition, to accept certain facts, to remember certain bits of data. Rather, they're being told
00:44:30.960 how to think. The teacher is telling them how to see other people. Think about that. He wants to
00:44:39.840 change the way they fundamentally view other human beings. And he wants to do this because he
00:44:45.940 subjectively, personally, thinks that people should see other humans this way. This is apparently how he
00:44:52.060 sees other people, judging them by their race first and foremost. And his mission now is to get the
00:44:56.420 kids' brains to work the same way that his does. He's like, imagine a schizophrenic insisting that
00:45:03.880 his students must all learn how to hear voices in their head like he does. It's quite disturbing to
00:45:09.460 think about, and even more disturbing when you consider that millions of students encounter this
00:45:13.320 kind of mental conditioning every day. And as we established, most are not going to be able to
00:45:18.680 withstand it. Second point, there's a great irony in this exchange. I believe that the girls in the
00:45:25.620 picture are named Lucy and Maria Aylmire. The only reason I know the name is that they're a
00:45:32.040 relatively well-known case of twin sisters who appear to be different races. They have a white
00:45:37.960 father and a Jamaican mother. This is a rare instance where twins with interracial parents end up
00:45:43.280 individually resembling the race of one parent or the other. But of course, those girls are the same
00:45:48.580 race. They have the same genetic ethnic mix, just manifesting itself differently on the outside. 0.98
00:45:53.980 The point is that the student was more right than he realized. He saw them as two people. He didn't
00:46:01.320 see them initially as two different races, or at least he wasn't focused on that. If he had said,
00:46:06.380 oh, I see a black woman and a white woman, he would have been wrong. He would have been judging them
00:46:11.180 based on their appearance, and it would have led him to a false conclusion. So he avoided the false
00:46:16.060 conclusion by not focusing on outward appearance, and that's what got him in trouble with the teacher.
00:46:20.420 The teacher was mad at him because he wasn't wrong. He said that two plus two equals four,
00:46:26.260 and the teacher yelled at him for not saying that it equals five. Third point. Finally,
00:46:30.760 this relates back to that Sesame Street clip we played last week, not the one with the little
00:46:34.420 Nas X. There's been a lot of Sesame Street related content on the show recently. Sesame Street introduced
00:46:38.720 some black Muppets whose job is to teach four-year-olds about critical race theory. Gone are the days of 0.99
00:46:44.540 Cookie Monster teaching that C is for cookie. You know, they won't even let the poor guy have his 0.84
00:46:47.960 cookies anymore because of the obesity epidemic. In any case, in the clip, the puppet says that
00:46:54.100 what's on the outside is what makes us who we are. This is the same message that the teacher in the
00:46:59.120 video is trying to hammer home. But this not only directly contradicts what we were all taught growing
00:47:04.700 up, and not only encourages exactly the kind of racism that they're supposedly trying to prevent,
00:47:10.180 but it also, of course, flies in the face of every single thing they say about gender. 0.94
00:47:13.960 If what's on the outside makes us who we are, then wouldn't a penis make you a man? If you're 0.52
00:47:22.820 supposed to notice somebody's race and find significance in it, then shouldn't we notice
00:47:27.880 their sex and find significance in that? Well, apparently not. We've learned that, at least in
00:47:34.780 the confused mind of the modern left, that even though your biological sex is more ingrained and
00:47:40.000 more immutable than your race, still somehow your race is this changeless, identifying characteristic 0.95
00:47:44.940 while your sex is fluid, ever-changing, and ultimately inconsequential. It is totally incoherent,
00:47:51.360 but that's part of the point. You're not supposed to understand. You are supposed to simply accept
00:47:57.140 and obey. And even if you don't believe it, at least pretend you believe it. This is the message,
00:48:03.640 especially in the school system. And it's why you should think twice before sending your kids into it.
00:48:08.000 Especially the Loudoun County School District in Virginia, which in any case is now canceled.
00:48:15.060 And we'll leave it there for today. Thanks for watching. Thanks for listening. Have a great day.
