The Matt Walsh Show - Ep. 691 - Fairness Is Overrated

00:00:00.000 Today on the Matt Wall Show, an NBC news anchor says on the air that he doesn't care about being

00:00:04.660 fair or hearing both sides. I actually agree with him on that point, and I feel much the same way,

00:00:09.440 and I'll explain why. Also, five headlines, including CNN's claim that there is no way to

00:00:13.780 determine, no way at all, the sex of a baby at birth, and a school district took Thomas Jefferson's

00:00:18.340 name off of one of their schools, but they're having trouble finding a new name. Apparently,

00:00:21.920 everyone in history, even very recent history, is problematic. Who knew? Plus, Joe Biden

00:00:26.580 butchers the Spanish language while standing in front of a very Nazi-esque flag, and our daily

00:00:31.660 cancellation, the woke mob, finally comes for the office. We knew it was going to happen.

00:00:36.820 Now's the time. We'll deal with that today and much more on the Matt Wall Show.

00:00:47.100 Now, I've always been clear that I don't care about tolerance, fairness, diversity, equality.

00:00:53.180 Well, don't care is the wrong way of putting it. I should say that I actively oppose those things,

00:00:58.380 oppose them and how they're interpreted and applied in modern society. Tolerance can be fine,

00:01:03.580 but it depends on what you're tolerating. There are intolerable things, many intolerable things,

00:01:09.380 which should not be tolerated. There are also intolerable people, and quite a few of them

00:01:13.800 walking around. Now, even if you are tolerating a tolerable thing, you don't deserve credit for it.

00:01:19.640 There's no courage involved in simply tolerating something. I can tolerate stuff from my couch.

00:01:25.260 I can lay on my couch and tolerate everything. I can tolerate many things while sitting at the beach.

00:01:31.020 As long as I'm not actively opposing something or someone, then I'm tolerating it by definition.

00:01:37.660 Why should I get credit for that? If I call myself a tolerant person, all I'm saying is that I don't

00:01:43.980 actively oppose very many things. Another term for that is pushover. See also weak, cowardly, lazy.

00:01:52.460 Diversity can also be fine, but again, it depends entirely on the context.

00:01:56.460 What sort of diversity are we talking about? And is this diversity for its own sake?

00:02:01.980 Diversity for its own sake, that is diversity that's achieved by ignoring things like merit and skill,

00:02:07.480 is bad. Diversity that happens as an accidental byproduct of prioritizing merit and skill is fine.

00:02:14.340 If you, for example, end up with a racially diverse fire department because you've hired people based on

00:02:20.820 racial quotas without respect to their ability to actually do the job, then you've done a very bad 1.00

00:02:26.500 thing, and people will probably die because of you. If you end up with a racially diverse fire department

00:02:31.660 because you hired the best people, and it just so happens that the best people came in an eclectic mix

00:02:36.900 of races, ethnicities, and sexual orientations, then you've done a fine thing. I mean, it's fine.

00:02:43.100 Though personally, I don't much care if the fire department is all black or all white or

00:02:47.520 comprised completely of transgender Polynesians, so long as they're all the best applicants based

00:02:53.880 on merit and skill, and we'll do the best job of saving the old lady from the burning house.

00:02:58.700 That's all that matters. What about equality? Equality under the law is very good, though more of a 0.99

00:03:04.540 theory than a reality in this country. Some people are above the law, even though they shouldn't be,

00:03:10.280 as we've seen BLM rioters, for instance. Spiritual equality, that is the recognition that we are all

00:03:17.740 humans made in the image of God, is also good. But equality in any other sense is bad. That's because

00:03:25.760 equality doesn't exist in any other context, and so it must be created artificially. My neighbor and I

00:03:33.620 both are supposed to be equally subject to the law. We both were created by God, but other than that,

00:03:40.460 we're different, not equal, not the same. One of us is smarter, better looking, more virtuous,

00:03:47.660 more talented, etc., and so on. These differences should be acknowledged, and they should lead to

00:03:53.080 different outcomes. If they're not acknowledged, and we're forced to have the same outcome in spite of

00:03:57.860 them, then we're being stuffed into an artificial box, and our individuality, and thus our humanity,

00:04:02.820 equality is being denied. This is bad, which is why equality is bad most of the time. That brings us

00:04:09.440 to fairness. Fairness, again, has a limited positive application. There are situations where fairness

00:04:16.540 must be emphasized, such as in a courtroom. It is unfair to make Derek Chauvin stand trial in

00:04:24.020 Minneapolis after the city has already admitted guilt by settling a lawsuit with George Floyd's

00:04:28.420 family. That's unfair. That's bad. But outside of the courtroom and a few other contexts, attempts

00:04:33.780 to be fair tend to lead, ironically, to even more unfairness. And this is all a very long way of

00:04:39.640 saying that I agree partially with NBC News anchor Lester Holt, who turned some heads this week when he

00:04:45.740 gave a little soliloquy on air where he spoke out against fairness. Here's what he said.

00:04:52.740 The unprecedented attacks on the press in this period, I'm sure, will fill plenty of books and

00:04:58.240 be studied in classrooms, maybe even here. But I have a few early observations I'll share about

00:05:04.280 where this moment brings us and what we can learn. Number one is, I think it's become clearer that

00:05:11.180 fairness is overrated. Well, before you run off and tweet that headline, let me explain a bit.

00:05:17.340 The idea that we should always give two sides equal weight and merit does not reflect the world we

00:05:23.420 find ourselves in. That the sun sets in the West is a fact. Any contrary view does not deserve our

00:05:30.800 time or attention. I know recent events assure that you won't have to look far to find more current and

00:05:36.400 relevant examples. I think you get my point. Decisions to not give unsupported arguments equal time

00:05:42.680 are not a dereliction of journalistic responsibility or some kind of agenda. In fact,

00:05:48.300 it's just the opposite. Providing an open platform for misinformation, for anyone to come say whatever

00:05:53.740 they want, especially when issues of public health and safety are at stake, can be quite dangerous.

00:05:59.840 Our duty is to be fair to the truth. Holding those in power accountable is at the core of our function

00:06:06.840 and responsibility. We need to hear our leaders' views, their policies and reasoning. It's really

00:06:12.900 important, but we have to stand ready to push back and call out falsehoods.

00:06:18.040 Now, he's sustained plenty of criticism from the right for saying this, but I agree with the general

00:06:23.040 point he's making. I don't agree with the way that he will apply and is applying and has applied,

00:06:29.340 along with all the rest of the left-wing media, this idea. You know, when he talks about

00:06:33.540 not giving equal fair time to unsupported, ridiculous ideas and claims, what he means,

00:06:40.080 obviously, is that he doesn't think he should give fair time to any idea or claim that originates

00:06:43.800 from anyone on the right. That's what he's saying without saying it. What he's doing here is giving

00:06:49.020 himself and his profession an excuse to be dishonestly biased against conservatives. Obviously,

00:06:54.820 that's his point, and I'm well aware of that. However, the basic idea is correct. Not all ideas and

00:07:02.620 thoughts and opinions and claims should be given equal weight. Not all should be respected or

00:07:09.060 listened to. You have a right to your opinion, but you don't have a right to have your opinion

00:07:13.060 taken seriously. If it's a really stupid, bad opinion, I don't have to take it seriously. 1.00

00:07:18.320 I don't have to sit down and contemplate it. Hmm, let me think about this. There are some opinions 1.00

00:07:23.900 where I can hear it and say, that's dumb. That's it. I'm not even going to, that's all I have to say 0.99

00:07:27.380 about it. I'm not going to consider it further than that. This is one of the problems I have

00:07:33.080 with conservatives who, when discussing diversity, will say, well, we need diversity of thought.

00:07:40.460 That's what we need. Well, sort of, but not really. I think society should be open to and kids in

00:07:47.960 school should be exposed to a wide array of intelligent, worthwhile, and defensible ideas and

00:07:53.320 opinions. But some ideas should be ignored. Excluded. Yes, excluded. Because they have no worth.

00:08:01.420 Because they're delusional and wrong. And by treating them with respect, by being fair to them,

00:08:08.060 we give the impression that there may be some merit to these ideas when there is no merit.

00:08:13.900 For example, the idea that a five-year-old male child may actually be a girl if he says he is.

00:08:19.940 That he might have a little girl trapped inside him. And so he should be dressed up like one and 1.00

00:08:25.180 referred to as one. It's one of those ideas, has no merit. Lester Holt was not referring to this

00:08:31.060 insanity when he said that some claims are unsupported. But this is nonetheless the best

00:08:35.180 example to prove the point. The claims made by left-wing gender theorists are wholly worthless,

00:08:41.220 without value, without merit. They should not be respected. We should not give equal weight to the

00:08:48.020 idea that a boy with a penis is really a girl. We should not treat it like a claim that's just as 0.89

00:08:53.500 valid and plausible as the claim that a boy with a penis is a boy. We don't need diversity of thought. 0.98

00:09:01.480 Well, we need to embrace both thoughts. You know, you could have a penis and be a boy or a girl and 1.00

00:09:06.160 we need the diversity of these. No, we don't. Kids in school should not be taught that there are two 1.00

00:09:12.860 equal and valid theories on this subject. They should be taught the facts of biological sex and

00:09:17.620 informed that any opposing ideas are simply false and should be ignored. Of course, what's actually

00:09:23.140 happening is the opposite. They're taught that boys can have vaginas and get pregnant and that any 0.98

00:09:27.760 contrary opinion to that is false and should be ignored. The left, as Lester Holt just explained, 0.63

00:09:33.380 is not worried about being fair to our viewpoints. They're not willing to hear them out. Even when our

00:09:40.540 viewpoint is the viewpoint of basic biological science. Now, for too long, the right, in an

00:09:46.120 effort to seem open-minded, has responded to this intellectual intolerance from the left by saying,

00:09:52.420 but we just want all ideas to be heard. We want all opinions and viewpoints to be given an equal

00:09:57.120 hearing. It's not what I want. I'll tell you right now, that is not what I want. As Lester Holt said

00:10:03.880 himself, you know, it's about the truth, except that he doesn't really care about the truth. I do.

00:10:09.860 What I want is the truth. I want the truth to be heard and known and respected. I want a society

00:10:15.760 based around truth, grounded in a respect for and an acknowledgement of and an understanding of

00:10:22.500 truth. I don't want to give untruth an equal platform. I don't want to give it equal space on the

00:10:28.640 stage. I don't want to respect it. I don't respect it. We should not be fair to lies and deceptions and

00:10:37.520 delusions. We shouldn't give them our respect. We should attack them head on, destroy them.

00:10:46.560 We should be unfair to them and intolerant of them. Because again, as was said, the only thing that 1.00

00:10:54.840 really matters is the truth. Now let's get to our five headlines.

00:11:05.740 Before we get to five headlines today, I got to tell you about our good friends over at

00:11:09.360 constitutioncoach.com. You know, as we've been talking about many conservatives, all conservatives

00:11:14.420 really say they love the constitution. They love our liberties and freedoms. It's so important to

00:11:19.320 defend them and all of that. But how many of us actually stand ready to defend them? How many of

00:11:23.160 us really understand these issues that well? My friends over at constitutioncoach.com have a lot

00:11:28.560 of great programs for equipping citizens to defend liberty by studying and living out the constitution.

00:11:33.560 I have experienced this myself at their constitutional defense course, which by the way, you take over at

00:11:39.520 the premier firearms training facility in the nation in Nevada. And it's just a place that you have to see

00:11:45.940 for yourself. It's experience you have to have for yourself. You get live classes with Rick Green,

00:11:51.220 America's constitution coach, and you also get the physical training as well. You get to join hundreds

00:11:55.160 of other patriots from across the nation for a time of learning, training, and fellowship with

00:11:58.980 like-minded people. The fellowship part of this is really important as well, because we're not alone.

00:12:02.880 There are other people. There are other sane people in the world too, although it may not always

00:12:07.160 seem that way. Whether you have shotguns your whole life or you're a beginner, wherever you are,

00:12:11.160 I'm telling you, they're going to bring you to a whole new skill level. That's what they did for me.

00:12:14.080 So Rick and the constitution coach team have another class on April 25th, but it'll fill up fast.

00:12:18.580 So visit constitutioncoach.com today. You can watch my video there to find out more about how you can

00:12:23.840 be a part of this one of a kind training. That's constitutioncoach.com. All right. Well, you know,

00:12:29.940 the tooth fairy saga continues, by the way, speaking of, I just said the truth matters. Well, here's an

00:12:34.240 example of not telling the truth. I was saying yesterday, my daughter is very smart, critical

00:12:39.040 thinker, and which I'm proud of her for that, but she's starting to figure the tooth fairy thing out.

00:12:44.960 And yesterday, you know, I went into her room before I left in the morning and she told me

00:12:50.100 that she'd lost her tooth. And, um, and she didn't tell us the night before that she lost it because

00:12:55.400 she wanted, she was running a test to see if the tooth fairy would still come, even if she doesn't

00:12:59.360 tell mom and dad. And of course the tooth fairy didn't come. What a coincidence because she didn't

00:13:02.380 tell us. And, uh, and then, so the problem is that my, my wife, she, she really wants to,

00:13:09.520 she, she realizes that it's a house of cards. And if you lose the tooth fairy and the Easter bunny,

00:13:13.360 then you lose Santa Claus. And she really wants to hang on to Santa Claus for the kids for one more

00:13:17.340 Christmas. It's really, you know, she, she just wants one more Christmas out of it, which means

00:13:20.620 we got to keep the tooth fairy going. And this is becoming difficult because last night, my daughter,

00:13:26.980 I'm not making this up. This is, she came up with this on her own because she's really trying to

00:13:31.980 figure this out. And so she came up with a plan last night where she, um, first of all,

00:13:38.640 she had the tooth under the pillow, of course, and she, uh, put out some food for the tooth fairy.

00:13:44.000 I don't know. That's not usually part of the tooth fairy deal. The tooth fairy doesn't usually eat.

00:13:48.460 Um, but so she put out so like a little bowl of water and I think some peanuts, maybe the tooth 0.99

00:13:53.000 fairy eats peanuts. You know, why not? Everyone likes peanuts. And then she put out some, um, 0.97

00:13:57.740 some baking soda around the dish so that she could get the footprints of the tooth fairy.

00:14:03.340 Like really the tooth fairy is probably, probably flying, but still. And then she also said, yeah,

00:14:10.260 she asked if we, she could use one of our phones and put up, like put a camera there so she could

00:14:15.840 capture the tooth fairy coming in. And this was this whole plan she concocted. And my wife told her, 0.90

00:14:23.020 yes, you could, let's do all that. And of course I'm saying to my wife, what are you, what's your plan

00:14:27.360 here with the camera part of this? How are you going to make that? Apparently there's an app for the,

00:14:32.700 there is an app for this exact situation where, where a little girl is trying to figure out the

00:14:38.860 tooth fairy is real. And, um, anyway, there's an app where you can have like a tooth fairy come in

00:14:43.900 and show it to the kid. So, um, we got her. She's, we, we fooled her for another, another few months.

00:14:51.580 Yay us. I'm so proud of us. Um, all right. So we begin with an article on CNN.com

00:14:59.240 about Kristi Noem, who has signed some executive orders dealing with the boys in girl sports issue,

00:15:06.040 but she still refuses to sign legislation, but instead she's, she's doing executive orders. 1.00

00:15:11.540 The article talks about that, but then it gets to the kicker. Um, we'll read here. It says South

00:15:17.980 Dakota's Republican governor, Kristi Noem banned transgender girls and women from competing on

00:15:23.440 women's sports teams at public high schools and colleges via a pair of executive orders 0.93

00:15:27.820 issued on Monday. Of course, what, what she actually banned was boys playing in girls teams. 0.90

00:15:34.460 Um, the move came after Noem angered conservatives by killing a bill that would have created a similar

00:15:39.980 prohibition and a news release explaining her veto at the time. Noem cited her concern that the bill

00:15:45.240 would take the state's colleges and universities out of compliance with national rules. So we know

00:15:48.480 about that. She's worried that, uh, the, the NAACP would, would punish the state of South Dakota, 0.99

00:15:55.740 that the NAACP would get really mad and punish them. If, uh, if she tried to put this, if this

00:16:03.340 ban was put in place and it applied to colleges and she didn't want to make the NAACP mad and get 1.00

00:16:08.340 punished by them or rather the NCAA, I should say, she doesn't want to get, she doesn't want to make 0.99

00:16:14.100 them mad and get punished by them. So, um, she decided to do the executive orders instead. Now

00:16:19.160 here we get to the kicker. It says though the two executive orders signed by Noem do not explicitly

00:16:24.100 mention transgender athletes. They referenced the supposed harms of the participation of quote

00:16:29.160 males in women's athletics. And they put quotes around males. Yeah. Quote unquote males. But we don't 0.99

00:16:36.040 need the quotes there that we are talking about actual males. It says an echo of the transphobic

00:16:41.160 claims cited in other similar legislative initiatives that transgender women are not women.

00:16:47.400 The orders also referenced biological sex, a disputed term that refers to the sex as listed

00:16:54.220 on students' original birth certificates. And then here we go here. It's not possible to know a person's

00:17:00.820 gender identity at birth. And there is no consensus criteria for assigning sex at birth.

00:17:07.040 There is no consensus criteria for assigning sex at birth. Now you're the first part of that sentence

00:17:16.720 is right. That there is no way to know a baby's gender identity because that's a made up concept. 0.98

00:17:26.340 Gender identity doesn't exist. Kids have to be indoctrinated into believing in this thing called 1.00

00:17:32.700 gender identity. Babies haven't been indoctrinated yet. So for them, gender identity doesn't exist. 0.80

00:17:37.620 That's true. The rest of it, though, is where we go wildly off the rails.

00:17:43.380 There's no consensus. I mean, think about the claim here. Okay. Think about the claim. This is in

00:17:49.720 a news article. This is not an editorial. A CNN news article saying there's no consensus for

00:17:57.680 criteria for figuring out the sex of a child. They're not just saying that technically we can't

00:18:05.660 really know the sex. Now, that would be totally wrong also. They're claiming that there's no

00:18:10.780 consensus criteria. Yes, there is. So this is wrong, horribly, ridiculously wrong on two levels.

00:18:19.440 Not only can we obviously tell the sex of a child, most of the time, all you got to do is look between 0.97

00:18:26.140 the legs. But there is clearly a consensus criteria. Every childbirth that happens on earth,

00:18:36.640 everywhere. And it has been this case since the beginning of, of, of humanity. The criteria has

00:18:44.180 been, let's look at the, at the, um, let's look at the reproductive organs on the child. 0.69

00:18:51.640 That's, that's been the criteria. And that's what hospitals do. I have been, uh, been there for the,

00:18:59.900 the births of four children. That's, that's the way it goes. So even if you want to claim that we

00:19:08.700 can't know the sex or that the sex of a child is fluid, again, all that obviously totally wrong,

00:19:15.100 you would have to, you would think, at least admit that there is right now a consensus criteria.

00:19:20.560 If you want to say that that criteria doesn't work or whatever, then, then fine, make that case.

00:19:27.560 But to deny that the criteria even exists at all.

00:19:30.480 Well, this is what we get from the left. Obviously they can, they will just simply wave

00:19:37.700 their hand and say that that truth, that this isn't happening. You thought that that was happening.

00:19:46.600 You thought that in every hospital in the world, when a baby is born, they look between the legs

00:19:50.480 and decide and figure out what the sex is. They don't assign it by the way. There's no assignment 0.99

00:19:55.580 happening. The doctor isn't looking and saying, okay, this one's going to be a boy.

00:20:00.480 And then you just, just stamp the word boy on its head. That's not the way it works.

00:20:07.640 But they are, but that is what, how they're determining it. And the left says, no, that's

00:20:10.880 not, that's not happening. What you think you're saying, you're not seeing.

00:20:17.700 Oh, but these are the pro-science people. Remember that. These are, these are the people who feel

00:20:22.280 entitled, feel like they're in a position where they can accuse other people of being anti-science.

00:20:27.260 Right. Um, okay. Number two is from TMZ. It says Deshaun Watson's attorney says 18 professional,

00:20:38.220 he's the quarterback for the Houston Texans involved in a, in a, there's, there's many, um,

00:20:43.860 sexual assault accusations coming out against them, a lot of lawsuits. And so here's, here it

00:20:47.380 says Deshaun Watson's attorney says 18 professional female massage therapists are going to bat for the 1.00

00:20:53.080 QB saying they had nothing but positive experiences with him over the years. Um,

00:20:59.000 Rusty Hardin says the women all worked with the Houston, Texas QB at some point over the past five

00:21:04.020 years, completing more than 130 sessions without any sort of incident. Hardin issued a statement

00:21:09.980 saying these women say they are deeply troubled by the accusations made against Deshaun and that

00:21:14.740 these claims are wholly inconsistent with their experiences with him and who they believe him to be.

00:21:18.720 All of them stated that Deshaun never made them feel uncomfortable or demanded anything outside the

00:21:23.180 scope of a professional massage. Okay. So we've got other female massage therapists coming out and 1.00

00:21:30.480 saying, Oh, well, he didn't sexually assault me. And that's supposed to, I guess, cancel out the

00:21:37.600 dozens of female massage therapists who said that they were sexually assaulted. Now already, I would 1.00

00:21:43.640 think that this defense raised there's, there's a problem here with this defense. Um, the first

00:21:48.760 problem obviously is, well, just because he didn't sexually assault those women doesn't mean he didn't

00:21:52.380 do it to these others, but also how many female massage therapists does one guy need? So if you've 1.00

00:21:59.280 got the 18 who are coming out and saying he didn't assault me and then you've got, I don't know what

00:22:03.180 we're up to. We're up to like over 20 who are making claims that he did assault them. So what is that?

00:22:08.220 Like 40, this guy's had 40 female massage therapists in the last five years, 40 different 1.00

00:22:15.100 ones. It's not just, he's had 40 massages. Okay. I understand if you're a professional athlete,

00:22:19.740 maybe you get a lot of massages because of all the, you know, the damage being done to your muscles,

00:22:23.840 but you need a different massage therapist. You have to keep finding different ones, 40 of them. 0.65

00:22:32.320 Um, yeah, it sounds to me at a minimum, this is a guy with some issues

00:22:35.440 and then you consider 20 accusations doesn't mean just because there are so many accusations

00:22:42.500 doesn't make it true. And again, I'm the, I'm the, I'm, I, you know, I'm not, I'm the last guy

00:22:49.260 to immediately assume that someone is guilty just because a claim is being made, you know, but

00:22:55.520 you do have to, it's sometimes it's a, it's a, just a matter of probability and looking at the

00:23:00.120 numbers, either 20 women are all lying individually or this one guy is lying. What's

00:23:06.180 more likely? You add in the text messages allegedly from him that have been produced,

00:23:11.800 actual, actual evidence, pretty rare that you have physical evidence presented in, in these kinds of

00:23:17.300 cases. It's a pretty compelling case being made here that this guy might be a serial sexual abuser.

00:23:25.620 And he's a major star. He's a major NFL star. And yet somehow this, this, you're, you hear about 0.79

00:23:35.700 this case, but it's not getting the kind of attention that you might expect. I wonder why that

00:23:43.300 is. It's from the daily wire. Uh, it says parents at Litchfield elementary school in Arizona are

00:23:50.440 infuriated over the district's proposed equity plan that's infused with elements of critical race theory.

00:23:55.620 The idea that America is rooted in racism, the district's transformation equity work plan, uh,

00:24:01.220 centers around the definition of anti-racism, which claims that being not racist is insufficient.

00:24:06.680 The definition suggests that parents and educators must be actively fighting against racism in all

00:24:11.220 its forms, though what is considered racist is often subjective. Um, during a school board meeting,

00:24:17.060 parents slammed the board members who crafted and supported the equity plan. One parent threatened to

00:24:21.240 hold a recall campaign against board members. So we, we have some of the audio here and I always

00:24:25.680 appreciate that when, when there's audio of parents or students fighting back, resisting, that's, that's

00:24:32.560 a good thing. That's, that's encouraging. So let's, let's play this. Let me just tell you, my kids are a

00:24:38.800 minority group. I am Hispanic. Never once have they come home and said that they felt victimized

00:24:46.180 discriminated against or discriminated against because of their race or ethnicity.

00:24:59.080 I've done a lot of research into this transformational equity work document, as well as Mr. Kendi's

00:25:06.860 theory. I have had over a dozen teachers reach out to me frustrated and upset over what is being thrown their

00:25:25.160 way with this transformational equity work. Thanking me for speaking up for them because they can't do it themselves for fear of

00:25:33.760 retaliation and possible discrimination. Further on the document references, reducing disciplinary action by race,

00:25:42.640 reviewing library books and hiring based on race, ethnicity, gender identity, faith, sexual orientation,

00:25:51.840 socioeconomic class and age. You know what we have fought and battled for equal rights in this country.

00:26:02.000 This doesn't sound like equal rights. This sounds like we're going to go higher based on

00:26:07.780 meeting a quota.

00:26:11.940 Well, you have to excuse some of the, uh, the dramatic music there underneath. That's, that wasn't,

00:26:15.620 that wasn't our edition, but there is the, uh, yeah, there's parents, parents speaking out against this

00:26:20.460 insanity, which, which is great. Um, it's, this is at a minimum is what's going to be needed.

00:26:26.060 Parents to be aware and involved in speaking out. If you, if you feel that you have no choice, but to

00:26:34.540 send your kid to public school, then you, at a minimum, you got to be doing this. You have to be

00:26:38.720 on top of it. You have to be aware of everything that's happening, talking to your kids about it

00:26:42.840 every day when they get home, right? Get, get the full report of what happened, what they were taught.

00:26:49.280 Um, go to the school board meetings, you pay attention. You got to do this. You have to do

00:27:00.860 it or you're going to lose your child. I mean, it's that, that's, that's where we're at. You're

00:27:05.960 going to lose your child. Maybe not physically, but you're going to lose them mentally, emotionally,

00:27:10.760 spiritually. You're going to lose them in any, every other way.

00:27:12.800 The school system is going to take your child from you and replace your kid with someone else.

00:27:23.700 Turn them into something. All, all the values, all the ideas that you have instilled, all the,

00:27:31.260 the priorities and everything that you, that, that you have instilled in your child, the school

00:27:35.800 systems job that they've given themselves is to take all that away and replace it.

00:27:42.800 Um, but I can't help, but think every time I watch a video like this, I can't help, but think that

00:27:50.600 it's a little bit like trying to empty the ocean with a thimble. There's it's, it's, there's too

00:27:58.240 much. The school system now, the school systems across the country are so fundamentally beholden to,

00:28:08.340 you know, you know, left-wing doctrines that there's not a lot that can be done to change it.

00:28:16.180 Except for, as I always say, get your kids out of the public school system.

00:28:19.560 A little bit more school craziness. A school district in Illinois is looking to take Thomas

00:28:24.380 Jefferson's name off of a school, but they're having trouble now figuring out who to replace,

00:28:30.020 what name to put in place of Thomas Jefferson, because what they're discovering

00:28:33.180 is that everyone in history, even like recent history, even recent presidents, like say

00:28:39.960 Barack Obama are also problematic by the left standards today. Uh, here's a report

00:28:45.160 on this from the local affiliate, uh, the local, local ABC affiliate. Let's watch that.

00:28:49.900 Those against the Obamas as a name choice say the former president failed to deliver on promises

00:28:54.860 to the immigrant population.

00:28:56.700 Tonight, Waukegan's board of education heard concerns from the public over one of the finalists

00:29:01.960 in the running to be the new name for Thomas Jefferson middle school. I want to urge the

00:29:05.940 school board to drop the names of Barack and Michelle Obama from consideration. I personally,

00:29:10.640 um, don't object to the name, but I have to be aware of the concerns. The country's first black

00:29:17.160 president and first lady Barack and Michelle Obama is one of the top three choices for the school's

00:29:21.940 new name, but one that's drawing opposition in the area with a large Latinx population.

00:29:26.120 We feel that Barack Obama disserviced us. He denied us and he didn't stop the deportations

00:29:34.440 the way he promised. Members of the area's Latinx community held a protest outside the

00:29:39.260 meeting's doors. If you're removing the name of Thomas Jefferson, one oppressor,

00:29:45.080 the name of Obama is another oppressor and our families do not want to see that name.

00:29:51.240 Mauricio Sanchez's father was deported in 2015 during the Obama administration.

00:29:55.620 It was something very sad. We had to, we couldn't even say goodbye to our dad. We just, um,

00:30:02.260 hoped for him to be able to get out. He said his dad is still in deportation hearings to this day.

00:30:07.980 And the Sanchez family says the Obama name is reminder of their current struggles.

00:30:13.580 You gotta love it. You really do. Obama's an oppressor too. You remove one oppressor,

00:30:20.000 Thomas Jefferson. Can't replace him with another Barack Obama. Yep. He's an oppressor. Fine.

00:30:27.640 Everybody is, there's no getting around it. Nobody, I mean, really nobody is woke enough now.

00:30:36.480 It's, it's impossible.

00:30:37.680 Like the only, only, only people who could be woken up is someone who, someone maybe who was born

00:30:44.740 yesterday. That's how recent it has to be.

00:30:49.900 And we name all the schools after infants, after gender fluid infants. They're the only ones who 1.00

00:30:56.380 could possibly be woken up. Anyone who existed prior to five years ago is going to have done things that

00:31:04.840 are considered problematic now or held views or said things that are considered problematic.

00:31:10.960 I mean, my goodness, uh, Barack Obama was anti-gay marriage for most of his life.

00:31:17.340 He ran in 2008 as a, as a pro-traditional marriage candidate, which is crazy to think now, but it's true. 1.00

00:31:26.900 And they didn't, they haven't even brought that up yet.

00:31:28.880 He deported a few people. He was against gay marriage, man. This guy was a bigot.

00:31:38.000 I guess you got to take, just, you take all the names down, all the statues down, replace them with

00:31:41.420 nothing. Give all the schools numbers. That's it. Here's someone who might be woken up. I don't know.

00:31:50.020 Um, Demi Lovato announced that she is a pansexual. So she's a pansexual now. She's kind of been

00:31:57.200 graduating from one level to the next. Uh, I think at one, didn't one point she said she was a lesbian 1.00

00:32:03.820 or maybe bisexual, but now she's, now she's pansexual. And here she is on Joe Rogan talking

00:32:09.380 about, well, here she is talking about living her truth. Um, and then she gets into how she's

00:32:13.800 pansexual. Let's, let's listen to that. For someone like me, who's always tried to please other people

00:32:20.060 by being what they want me to be, whether it was a sexy pop star and a leotard or engaged to

00:32:26.680 a dude. Like I had to speak my truth and tell the world, Hey, my truth isn't going to be what you

00:32:37.060 want it to be anymore. Like I'm chopping my hair off because it feels right to me. A lot of my fans

00:32:43.420 want me to have long hair. They're like, they love the long hair. It's like, look, how do they feel

00:32:47.000 about the double unicorns on your shirt? They haven't seen them yet. Only you have.

00:32:53.660 But we'll find out. And I'm eager to know. It's hilarious. If people have expectations

00:32:58.860 about your looks, like how you, how you should wear your hair. Yes. But that's being a pop star.

00:33:04.780 Yeah. Oh, it sounds so hard. That's being a pop star. People have expectations.

00:33:10.320 But she's living. She had to speak her truth and live her truth.

00:33:12.620 I gotta say, I'm kind of disappointed in Joe Rogan that he, that he listened to her say that

00:33:19.240 and didn't roll his eyes. At least I don't think it did. It wasn't on camera. But when someone uses

00:33:22.640 the phrase, speak my truth or live my truth around you, and they're not being ironic or sarcastic, 0.99

00:33:28.500 the only appropriate response is to roll your eyes and say, shut up. That's it. I don't care who 0.99

00:33:34.020 it is. That's the only appropriate response. You definitely can't nod your head and go along with

00:33:40.340 it. Oh, uh-huh. You're speaking your truth. Great. That's so brave. So brave.

00:33:45.240 She goes from there to talk about how, uh, she's attracted to, she's a pansexual now and

00:33:49.900 she's so fluid. She's so fluid now, she says. And, uh, and she clarified that she's attracted to

00:33:57.860 anything, anything, not even anybody, anything, including maybe actual pots and pans. So

00:34:07.300 in a very literal sense, she's pansexual. I just love hearing these celebrities complain 1.00

00:34:13.040 about fame. I mean, even putting the pansexual stuff to the side, because we know they're 1.00

00:34:18.440 like, yeah, the LGBT crew, they're so oppressed that every celebrity in existence right now

00:34:26.460 is desperate to be a part of the club and they're coming up with anything they can to

00:34:30.000 be in there. That's how oppressed they are, right? But the rest of it about, oh, people

00:34:34.680 don't like it when you chop your hair off or they have expectations. Yeah. You're famous.

00:34:40.780 You have cultivated, you don't become famous by accident. Most of the time you have to cultivate

00:34:47.900 that fame. You have to try really hard to be famous and to maintain your fame because

00:34:56.280 even Demi Lovato's at a level, she's really famous, but she could stop being famous if she 0.91

00:35:01.920 wanted. If she went away, did something else, people would basically forget about her and not

00:35:05.920 care in a few years or a few months. So don't complain about it. Everybody has an opinion.

00:35:13.100 They're all looking at you. Of course they are. It's what you want. This is the situation you have

00:35:18.720 tried really hard to create for yourself and maintain. I'm not really interested in the

00:35:24.260 complaints about it. Finally, a little bonus thing here. I got to play this. We can't,

00:35:29.040 we can't move on without playing, even if you've already heard it. Jill Biden, Dr. Jill Biden Esquire

00:35:34.740 was giving a speech to a group of Hispanic voters, rather Latinx, Latinx voters, I should say.

00:35:40.320 Excuse me. And she attempted a bit of Spanish herself and it didn't go well. Here it is.

00:35:46.100 So say it with me. Si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si, se, si, piu, si, si, si, si, obvio si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si. si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si

00:36:17.100 What would that be?

00:36:18.060 Yes, we're the father?

00:36:22.280 It would become an episode of Maury all of a sudden?

00:36:26.360 She was going for Yes, We Can, which is Cise Puede, P-U-E-D-E.

00:36:32.820 I think, in fact, the correct pronunciation is Puede, I believe.

00:36:37.540 Cise Puede.

00:36:40.660 But that's what she gets for attempting.

00:36:42.580 This should be something that all politicians or, you know, people in the political light should know.

00:36:49.320 Don't attempt to speak a foreign language unless you know it really, really well, which she obviously doesn't. 0.99

00:36:54.120 And on top of that, if you're watching the video there, you saw a really curious flag in the background, which looks a lot like a Nazi flag.

00:37:05.300 It kind of has the Nazi eagle, the same color scheme.

00:37:08.520 At least it looks much more like a Nazi flag. 0.69

00:37:16.080 We can assume it's not actually a Nazi flag.

00:37:18.140 She wasn't really at a Hispanic Nazi rally, we can assume, probably.

00:37:22.020 But it looks much more like a Nazi thing.

00:37:26.080 It looks more Nazi-esque than, say, the stage at CPAC.

00:37:30.840 You've got to stretch a lot more to make the stage at CPAC into a Nazi symbol than you did with that flag of the eagle and the red and everything. 0.53

00:37:39.280 But, of course, we get the controversy over the stage, but not over that flag.

00:37:45.160 Can you imagine if that was Trump giving a speech in front of a flag like that?

00:37:50.620 We would quite literally never hear the end of it.

00:37:54.520 All right, let's move on to reading the YouTube comments.

00:37:58.660 First comment says,

00:38:02.480 There is a 0% chance Matt is not wearing skinny jeans with that shirt.

00:38:10.400 Dom says,

00:38:11.280 I was watching this on the Daily Wire but came to YouTube just for the comments on Matt's shirt.

00:38:17.240 Michael says,

00:38:17.940 I've been avoiding the comment feed for months in an effort not to get banned, but after seeing today's shirt, I no longer have fear.

00:38:23.360 Go ahead, Matt. Put me out of my misery.

00:38:24.640 Stephanie says,

00:38:27.680 Matt is trolling us.

00:38:28.680 We're all focusing on the shirt, but little do we know that he's also wearing skinny jeans.

00:38:33.560 Another comment says,

00:38:34.260 Matt's wife doesn't mind that he's taken to wearing her blouses.

00:38:37.440 That's pretty progressive.

00:38:40.620 Matthew says,

00:38:41.380 Walsh's wife was unavailable for shirt check when he left the house today.

00:38:44.300 His daughter dressed him in this thing as payback for the Tooth Fairy lies.

00:38:49.420 Amber says,

00:38:49.920 How did you fit into your grandmother's blouse?

00:38:52.880 Melinda says,

00:38:53.400 Great show.

00:38:53.900 Good point like always.

00:38:55.020 Great shirt.

00:38:55.980 My mom had a tablecloth like it once.

00:38:59.800 And then someone else says,

00:39:00.780 Nice shirt, Matt.

00:39:01.440 Do they make it for men? 0.92

00:39:03.640 Okay.

00:39:05.500 Yeah.

00:39:06.400 So I'm gathering from the comments that y'all didn't like my polka dot t-shirt that I wore yesterday.

00:39:13.180 Was that hard for you guys?

00:39:14.320 Was it difficult for you to,

00:39:16.020 was it hard for you to see me in my hideous shirt?

00:39:17.940 Was it so hard that you needed to leave a thousand comments and even to leave, to message my wife?

00:39:25.580 My wife got messages, people telling on me for the shirt that I wore.

00:39:29.060 Was that, was that, was it hard?

00:39:32.300 Oh, isn't that, isn't that too bad?

00:39:33.600 Well, how hard do you think it is for me to be cyber bullied like this?

00:39:38.260 I came to work yesterday feeling great.

00:39:42.840 Okay.

00:39:42.960 I was feeling confident in my, in my polka dot t-shirt.

00:39:45.860 I left the house.

00:39:46.980 I was whistling, whistling joyfully.

00:39:48.720 And I was saying to myself,

00:39:50.380 gee whiz, I cannot wait for the gang to see my new shirt.

00:39:53.120 They're going to love it.

00:39:54.840 And this is how you respond.

00:39:57.040 I'm not mad.

00:39:57.780 I'm disappointed and hurt.

00:39:59.400 Frankly, this is cyber bullying.

00:40:01.400 And I'm not, I'm not going to back down.

00:40:02.340 I'm not going to be intimidated by it.

00:40:04.600 I'm not going to be stopped from speaking my, from wearing my truth.

00:40:09.860 Even when my truth is polka dotted.

00:40:11.920 So I tell you what, here's, what's going to happen now.

00:40:13.480 Here's what's going to happen now. 0.99

00:40:14.700 I'm going to wear that damn shirt once a week for the rest of the year, 0.99

00:40:17.880 just to spite you people. 0.99

00:40:20.200 Don't put it past me.

00:40:21.460 You think you can shame me out of wearing something?

00:40:24.580 This is your fault.

00:40:25.460 You did this.

00:40:26.260 You're going to have to look at that shirt every week now for the rest of the year.

00:40:32.600 Your own behavior did this.

00:40:35.800 Every time you see it, I want you to think about the way that you bullied me.

00:40:41.000 I want you to think about the hurt that you caused. 0.51

00:40:44.340 Shame on you.

00:40:45.860 How dare you?

00:40:47.980 And it's a great shirt.

00:40:48.920 I don't care what you people say.

00:40:50.940 Now, a quick word from Rock Auto.

00:40:52.500 So if you need auto parts, you've basically got two choices.

00:40:55.660 You can go to the auto parts store, waste all your time driving there, walking around,

00:41:00.320 looking for what you want.

00:41:01.260 Everything's expensive.

00:41:02.240 There's not a great selection.

00:41:03.460 They're not going to have what you want.

00:41:04.460 They got to order it online.

00:41:05.660 You can do all that.

00:41:06.540 Or you could just pull your phone out of your pocket and go to rockauto.com.

00:41:09.980 I know what I do.

00:41:11.140 It's really a no-brainer.

00:41:12.180 Rockauto.com always offers the lowest prices possible,

00:41:14.800 rather than changing prices based on what the market will bear.

00:41:17.240 Rockauto.com is a family business.

00:41:19.460 They've been serving auto parts customers online for 20 years.

00:41:22.620 You can go to rockauto.com to shop for auto and body parts from hundreds of manufacturers.

00:41:27.300 Best thing of all, prices at rockauto.com are reliably low.

00:41:31.000 And if you see the price at rockauto.com, you know it's not going to be better anywhere else.

00:41:34.820 They're giving you the best possible price.

00:41:36.180 And it's going to be the same whether you're a professional or a do-it-yourselfer.

00:41:39.640 Why spend up to twice as much for the same parts?

00:41:42.420 Why spend twice as much to get access to a smaller selection of parts?

00:41:47.560 There's no reason to do it.

00:41:48.740 You can get an amazing selection with rockauto.com.

00:41:51.020 Reliably low prices.

00:41:51.980 All the parts your car will ever need.

00:41:53.500 So go to rockauto.com right now and see all the parts available for your car or truck.

00:41:58.180 And remember, as always, to write Walsh in their How Did You Hear About Us box

00:42:00.880 so that they know that we sent you.

00:42:02.860 Now, I also got to tell you about Candace.

00:42:06.120 Of course, well, you've heard us talking about Candace.

00:42:07.920 She joined The Daily Wire a few weeks ago with the premiere of her new talk show, Candace.

00:42:12.240 The show streams on dailywire.com Fridays at 9 p.m. Eastern, 8 p.m. Central.

00:42:17.140 But you can get the audio podcast, Candace, on Apple, Spotify, or wherever you listen to your podcasts.

00:42:21.280 Candace hosts a series of guests on the show each week,

00:42:24.100 making for lively panel discussions and insightful interviews.

00:42:27.320 There have been a lot of featured guests.

00:42:29.160 Really excited to announce that if you watch the show this Friday,

00:42:32.860 there's going to be a particularly brilliant, and I have to say,

00:42:35.660 handsome guest who makes great decisions in the kinds of shirts that he wears.

00:42:39.960 And that's me. I'm a guest on the show.

00:42:41.820 So you can watch for that reason, or you can just watch because it's a great show in general.

00:42:45.500 If you need some Candace Owens in your podcast feed, look no further.

00:42:48.120 Head over to Apple Podcasts or Spotify and subscribe today.

00:42:51.260 And be sure to leave a five-star review if you like what you hear.

00:42:54.340 Now let's get to our daily cancellation.

00:42:55.780 Today we're canceling, on top of everyone, of course, who was making fun of my shirt.

00:43:02.880 You're all banned from the show, needless to say.

00:43:05.000 We're also canceling Kat Ahn.

00:43:08.060 You've never heard of her before, and that's part of the point.

00:43:10.700 She's an actress who, so far as I know, has appeared in one thing of note,

00:43:14.100 and that's a Christmas episode of The Office.

00:43:15.720 That was many years ago, season three, a two-part episode called A Benihana Christmas.

00:43:19.620 In the episode, she, an Asian woman, plays a waitress who Michael ends up hitting on

00:43:24.680 and trying to use as a rebound because he's depressed after just breaking up with his girlfriend,

00:43:28.760 if I remember the plot points correctly, and I probably do because I've seen all the episodes

00:43:31.820 of The Office 16 times.

00:43:34.080 Anyway, Kat, 15 years later, has decided that it was actually racist,

00:43:40.480 that the role that she was playing was racist.

00:43:42.480 She's decided this a decade and a half later.

00:43:45.060 Here she is on TikTok explaining.

00:43:46.640 So, these are the things I've learned as an actress on the Benihana Christmas episode

00:43:51.120 of The Office.

00:43:53.440 I actually understood why BIPOC actors play racist roles. 0.99

00:43:57.980 You know, sometimes you've got to pay a rent.

00:44:00.280 Sometimes you want to join the union.

00:44:02.500 Sometimes you just don't want your agent to drop you.

00:44:04.920 Also, this episode was before, you know, wokeness.

00:44:08.940 So, the Benihana Christmas episode is actually one of the more popular holiday TV episodes,

00:44:13.160 um, and the storyline with myself and the other Asian American actresses

00:44:17.640 is that we were the uglier versions of the actresses at the Benihana.

00:44:22.740 Also, that all Asian people look alike. 0.70

00:44:25.000 We're one big monolith and we're just one big walking stereotype

00:44:28.040 without any personality or individuality.

00:44:32.200 Which is problematic?

00:44:35.080 Oh, it's problematic?

00:44:36.880 That's what it is?

00:44:37.760 Yeah.

00:44:38.120 I mean, it's, yeah, it's very problematic.

00:44:39.560 It's a problem.

00:44:40.460 It wasn't a problem when she cashed the check.

00:44:42.920 I assume she did cash it, after all.

00:44:45.040 Wasn't a problem when she read the script.

00:44:47.840 Wasn't a problem at all at any point until now.

00:44:51.160 But now it's a problem.

00:44:52.780 Not just a problem, but problematic.

00:44:54.940 That's the worst kind of problem to have.

00:44:57.380 Now, let's, let's go through this, okay?

00:44:58.860 First of all, she says, while trying to explain

00:45:02.740 why she took this allegedly racist role,

00:45:05.680 that this was, quote, before wokeness.

00:45:08.960 So now this is like the new BCAD we're going to have.

00:45:12.680 We're going to have B-W-A-W. 1.00

00:45:14.520 Before wokeness, after wokeness.

00:45:16.400 What does that mean?

00:45:17.780 Well, she believes and is not alone in believing

00:45:19.540 that at some point in the last, like, five years,

00:45:22.440 society went through some kind of great mystical awakening.

00:45:25.620 And we suddenly realized that a bunch of stuff

00:45:28.420 we thought was fine and normal is actually bad.

00:45:31.080 Nobody can ever explain how this awakening occurred

00:45:33.720 and why we should consider it an awakening

00:45:35.780 rather than, say, mass delusion or a moral panic.

00:45:40.760 There is, after all, plenty of precedent

00:45:43.400 for mass delusion and moral panic.

00:45:45.680 There is no precedent, historically,

00:45:47.320 for an entire society suddenly all at once

00:45:49.760 to become enlightened.

00:45:51.460 True moral enlightenment doesn't work that way.

00:45:53.580 It has never worked that way.

00:45:54.400 Societies can become morally enlightened in certain ways

00:45:57.820 or more morally enlightened in certain ways.

00:46:01.520 But those gains are won slowly over long periods of time

00:46:04.840 and much struggle is required to achieve it.

00:46:08.620 So if you find that everyone woke up one day

00:46:13.380 and became hysterical about some new alleged evil,

00:46:17.000 if you find that everyone is suddenly freaking out

00:46:19.920 about something that just a minute ago

00:46:21.420 seemed normal and fine,

00:46:22.420 there's a much greater likelihood

00:46:24.540 that what you are experiencing is a panic,

00:46:27.600 not enlightenment.

00:46:29.820 And panic, by the way,

00:46:30.900 is pretty much the exact opposite of enlightenment.

00:46:34.940 Second point, the characters were stereotypes.

00:46:37.680 She complains. 0.66

00:46:38.540 Yes, well, it was a comedy, okay,

00:46:41.560 built around stereotypes.

00:46:43.540 Many comedies are.

00:46:44.540 That's the nature of comedy.

00:46:45.760 What made The Office so funny and relatable

00:46:48.440 is that every character was a distinct personality,

00:46:50.920 but also a type.

00:46:52.500 So you could say as you watched,

00:46:54.240 you know, oh yeah, I know this person.

00:46:55.780 I have this person in my office.

00:46:57.240 Michael Scott was Michael Scott,

00:46:58.440 but he also was everyone's incompetent boss.

00:47:01.280 Jim and Pam worked so well as characters

00:47:03.180 because they felt like the type of people

00:47:04.680 that you could meet on the street.

00:47:06.800 Angela was the uptight white Christian woman. 1.00

00:47:09.240 Creed was the weird old guy. 0.83

00:47:10.420 Stanley was the, you know,

00:47:11.580 not messing around, 1.00

00:47:12.540 no time for your crap black guy. 1.00

00:47:13.900 All of the characters were stereotypes intentionally, 1.00

00:47:16.960 but also they were developed personalities

00:47:19.000 in their own right.

00:47:20.460 That's what made the show work.

00:47:21.760 That was the point of the show.

00:47:23.640 And a lot of the humor in the show

00:47:24.900 came from Michael having no social awareness

00:47:27.080 or self-awareness and saying insensitive things,

00:47:29.440 even while mostly trying to be politically correct.

00:47:32.040 He was the butt of the joke.

00:47:33.620 The joke was on him. 0.98

00:47:35.020 It was about his buffoonery.

00:47:37.280 But even though Michael's obliviousness

00:47:39.280 and unintentional insensitivity was the joke,

00:47:41.780 even so, it must be considered offensive these days

00:47:44.800 because the jokes often dealt with

00:47:46.540 race, sexual orientation, et cetera.

00:47:49.320 I mean, they just dealt with it.

00:47:51.360 That's it.

00:47:52.420 It wasn't really making fun of people for the race.

00:47:54.660 It was simply, it was a joke that dealt with race.

00:47:56.940 It was a joke where race was a part of the joke.

00:47:59.860 You aren't allowed to have jokes

00:48:00.780 that deal with those subjects,

00:48:02.320 even if the jokes aren't actually saying

00:48:04.300 anything offensive about those subjects.

00:48:07.120 So it was only a matter of time

00:48:08.380 before they got around to the office.

00:48:09.600 There have been attempts in recent years.

00:48:11.860 Back in 2019,

00:48:13.580 the website Screen Rant ran an article titled

00:48:16.340 10 Episodes of the Office That Aged Poorly.

00:48:19.460 Then listing, it lists the episodes that, quote,

00:48:21.780 aged rather poorly with their flood

00:48:23.500 of inappropriate jokes.

00:48:25.420 And of course, it lists all of the funniest

00:48:27.480 and best episodes.

00:48:29.500 Now, that never really caught on in 2019,

00:48:31.560 but right now, in this environment,

00:48:34.120 it's a different story.

00:48:35.440 Already, there are headlines

00:48:36.580 in all the major media publications

00:48:38.400 based on what this unknown actress said. 0.99

00:48:41.800 And they're all declaring

00:48:42.880 that the office is now problematic.

00:48:45.520 I'd say, this is my prediction,

00:48:46.900 we have a few weeks before NBC

00:48:48.740 starts removing some episodes,

00:48:51.300 attaching offensive content disclaimers to others.

00:48:55.160 This is not a very bold prediction.

00:48:57.240 We know that all comedy

00:48:58.800 must eventually end up on the burn pile.

00:49:02.360 Comedy involves laughing at

00:49:04.320 or about something or someone.

00:49:07.420 And such an uproarious

00:49:09.440 and unregulated display

00:49:11.040 cannot be allowed

00:49:12.060 by the robotic prudes

00:49:14.020 who run our culture now.

00:49:16.180 One such prude, 0.99

00:49:17.840 a hypocritical prude, 0.99

00:49:18.800 as prudes often are, 0.99

00:49:20.200 is Cat-On.

00:49:21.440 And so,

00:49:23.180 she, along with all the people

00:49:24.340 in the future

00:49:24.800 who are going to cancel this show

00:49:26.120 and get it banned,

00:49:27.040 as we know it's going to happen,

00:49:28.580 they are all canceled.

00:49:31.120 And we'll leave it there for today.

00:49:32.380 Thanks for watching.

00:49:33.600 Thanks for listening.

00:49:34.760 Have a great day.

00:49:35.780 Godspeed.
