The Matt Walsh Show - Ep. 743 - A Generation Deprived Of Identity

00:00:00.000 Today on the Matt Wall Show, the parent of a non-binary, quote-unquote, seven-year-old provides us an unintentionally illuminating and horrifying look into the mind of a child who's been indoctrinated into this kind of lifestyle.

00:00:11.360 It's very interesting. We'll talk about that. Also, five headlines, including the Senate cures racism by declaring Juneteenth a national holiday. That's exciting.

00:00:18.860 The Attorney General again speaks out against the imaginary epidemic of white supremacist violence.

00:00:23.120 A climate activist group accuses itself of racism and disbands, and Newsweek claims that there's a furious debate about that video of a guy shoplifting a bag full of merchandise from Walgreens in San Francisco.

00:00:35.080 But what is there to debate about exactly? We'll talk about that and much more today on the Matt Wall Show.

00:00:40.380 We'll talk about that.

00:01:10.380 Your employer, your school, your internet service provider. How can they see it?

00:01:14.800 And yet, we call it incognito. To really stop people from seeing the sites you visit, you need to do what I do and use ExpressVPN.

00:01:23.180 We think about all the times that you've used Wi-Fi at a coffee shop, a hotel, your parents' house, whatever it is.

00:01:28.780 Without ExpressVPN, every site you visit could be logged by the admin of that network, and that's true whether you're in incognito mode or not.

00:01:36.240 What's more, your home internet provider can also see and record your browsing data.

00:01:40.700 And in the U.S., they're legally allowed to sell that data to advertisers.

00:01:45.000 ExpressVPN, then, is an app that encrypts all of your network data and reroutes it through a network of secure servers

00:01:49.920 so that your private online activity stays just that private, because you have a right to that information, not anybody else.

00:01:56.660 So stop letting strangers invade your online privacy. Protect yourself at expressvpn.com slash Walsh.

00:02:05.600 That's expressvpn.com slash Walsh.

00:02:11.360 Every once in a while, you stumble across something that really puts things into perspective, even if in an unintentional way.

00:02:19.160 And that's the case for a post by a guy named Tom Rademacher, who, by the way, is the author of a book you've never heard of,

00:02:26.640 called Raising Ali, How My Non-Binary Art Nerd Kid Changed Nearly Everything I Know.

00:02:33.320 Of course, you're probably already sold based on that title alone, but here's the synopsis from Barnes & Noble.

00:02:38.920 Anyway, it says,

00:02:40.140 Seven-year-old Ali, a funny, anxious, smart kid with a thing for choir and an eye for graphic art,

00:02:45.660 was gravely under-challenged in school and also struggling with identity and how to live totally as themselves.

00:02:52.400 Ali begged to switch to a new school with kids like me, where they wouldn't feel so alone or so bored, and so they made the change.

00:02:59.960 Raising Ali is dad Tom Rademacher's story of that eventful and sometimes painful school year,

00:03:06.700 parenting Ali and relearning everything, every day, what it means to be a father and a teacher.

00:03:11.300 As Ali, who is non-binary and uses they-them pronouns and prefers art to athletics, vegetables to cake, and animals to most humans,

00:03:18.380 flourishes in their new school, Rademacher is making an eye-opening adjustment to a new school of his own,

00:03:23.100 one that's whiter and more suburban than anywhere he's previously taught,

00:03:26.460 with a history of racial tension that he tries to address and navigate.

00:03:30.420 Well, that all sounds thoroughly dreadful.

00:03:34.060 It's also going to be tough for Rademacher to get his book into the bookstores.

00:03:38.580 There's limited shelf space because of the law that was passed a few years ago

00:03:41.840 declaring that every parent with a quote-unquote non-binary or trans kid

00:03:46.360 must write a book about it and also starred in a reality TV show.

00:03:50.880 But the book is not the point.

00:03:52.180 The point is this tweet from Rademacher yesterday seeking to explain the inner experience of a non-binary child.

00:04:01.340 And by the way, every time I say non-binary, please insert the air quotes around the term

00:04:05.540 because in reality, of course, there's no such thing as being non-binary.

00:04:08.780 There are males and females in the world and only males and females, and that's it.

00:04:12.100 And that is a binary system.

00:04:14.360 Nobody is outside of it.

00:04:15.400 But in any case, Rademacher posted this.

00:04:17.080 He said, I was talking with my kid, who's non-binary, about a friend whose child just also started using they-them pronouns.

00:04:25.760 The parents were struggling to get the switch right, so my kiddo said,

00:04:29.680 tell them to imagine that instead of a person, their kid is a swarm of bees.

00:04:36.080 Yes, a swarm of bees.

00:04:38.800 Now, we're going to assume, for the sake of this monologue,

00:04:43.300 that the child really did say what he's quoted as saying.

00:04:46.280 That is, admittedly, in most similar situations, an extremely dubious assumption.

00:04:50.560 But here there seems to be a deep and important truth,

00:04:54.660 though not the truth that Rademacher and the supportive people in the comments seem to think.

00:04:59.300 Speaking of which, there were a lot of responses to this tweet,

00:05:02.000 and most of them quite positive, unfortunately.

00:05:05.400 I want to read a few, just to give you a gist of what people are saying.

00:05:09.980 One person says, quote,

00:05:11.120 I try really hard to use correct pronouns.

00:05:14.100 Sometimes I go through all my kids' names, five kids, to get to one that I mean.

00:05:19.260 So my oldest is used to me saying he, she, they, them name.

00:05:23.400 I'm hopeless, but I'm getting better.

00:05:25.360 I'll try the bees trick.

00:05:27.260 To which someone else responded,

00:05:28.780 It's okay, my mom does the same thing even with pronouns.

00:05:32.260 I use they-them pronouns, and sometimes she'll call my sister, she, her, by they-them pronouns.

00:05:37.100 Another response to the original post says,

00:05:40.140 That's great.

00:05:41.060 I have a harder time with they-them than I did with switching from he to her with my niece,

00:05:45.460 and it's mostly because of a whole new usage for my old brain.

00:05:50.120 If I ever gender my non-binary friends, it's not because I don't respect your identity.

00:05:54.680 It's because I'm a mess.

00:05:56.860 I have to agree with that last part, at least.

00:05:58.380 Another comment, this one from someone with the username Frontline Teacher says,

00:06:02.700 My trans friend and I were talking about this a few weeks ago.

00:06:05.540 He sent his favorite story to me about a guy who brought an air horn to Thanksgiving,

00:06:10.200 and every time someone messed up his cousin's pronouns, air horn.

00:06:13.900 That guy is kind of my hero.

00:06:16.380 Another says,

00:06:17.300 My kiddo is non-binary.

00:06:18.820 Went to see my parents for the first time since last January,

00:06:21.500 and since my kiddo came out, and the grandparents struggled with their pronouns.

00:06:25.600 I forwarded this along.

00:06:26.800 Thanks for the share.

00:06:27.480 And finally, one more example says,

00:06:28.980 Maybe we should simply start calling everyone they-them.

00:06:32.080 We already do so when someone's gender is unknown.

00:06:36.620 A language divided by binary biological gender is a poor choice in a world where gender is a spectrum.

00:06:43.780 Maybe we have that to look forward to.

00:06:44.980 Eventually, you will be non-binary too, and you won't have a choice in the matter.

00:06:50.160 But what world is that exactly being referred to?

00:06:53.680 Because it's not this one.

00:06:54.680 In fact, I would agree that a language based on binary genders would be a poor choice in a world where gender is a spectrum.

00:07:01.900 I would agree with that.

00:07:03.820 So if you ever find yourself on planet Zepton or whatever,

00:07:06.880 where there are dozens of biological sexes,

00:07:09.040 then you should keep that in mind.

00:07:10.920 In this world, however, on this planet, there are only males and females.

00:07:13.960 Those are the only options.

00:07:15.120 None others exist.

00:07:15.900 But I said that the swarm of bees analogy touches on an important truth.

00:07:21.940 And it does indeed seem to provide an illuminating glance

00:07:25.500 into the fractured and confused mind of a child

00:07:29.260 who's been indoctrinated into left-wing gender theory.

00:07:33.000 Bees are insects with very little consciousness individually.

00:07:37.160 Together, operating as a literal hive mind,

00:07:39.600 they're able to work as one unit by communicating with each other

00:07:42.140 through the use of pheromones and other signals.

00:07:44.160 Of course, a swarm mind is a little bit different than a hive mind

00:07:47.340 because bees in a swarm have split off from the hive

00:07:49.300 and are now homeless, searching for a new location to build a hive.

00:07:52.600 I'm telling you all this partly because bees are fascinating,

00:07:54.820 but also because it gets closer to the experience of a non-binary or trans child

00:08:01.720 than Tom Rademacher or the clapping seals in the commons probably realize.

00:08:06.580 A swarm of bees has no real identity,

00:08:11.440 either collectively or individually.

00:08:14.620 No real consciousness.

00:08:16.580 And also no home, no fixed point.

00:08:19.460 This is how children indoctrinated into this cult begin to see themselves.

00:08:24.780 They're not exploring a new identity or discovering one.

00:08:28.460 There is no new identity at all.

00:08:30.360 Rather, they are deprived of identity,

00:08:32.380 deprived of a firm sense of themselves.

00:08:34.280 They're a swarm of bees, as the kid allegedly said himself.

00:08:39.500 Farmless, homeless, lacking coherence and identity.

00:08:45.080 Now, if you go up to a child raised in a healthy home

00:08:47.540 who's been helped to develop a coherent sense of his own identity,

00:08:51.520 and you ask him to compare himself to an animal,

00:08:55.180 which any kid is happy to do,

00:08:57.460 and will have an answer on the ready.

00:08:59.340 And with a well-adjusted kid who's been raised properly,

00:09:05.100 he'll probably pick something fierce and majestic and solid and understandable,

00:09:09.100 something like a lion or a bear or a wolf.

00:09:12.620 If your child sees himself not as one of those beautiful and ferocious creatures,

00:09:17.200 but as a group of insects,

00:09:19.440 not even one insect, but a group,

00:09:22.480 something has gone horribly wrong.

00:09:24.120 And what's gone horribly wrong again

00:09:26.520 is that he has no idea who or what he is.

00:09:30.480 He is shapeless in his own mind.

00:09:33.160 His identity is formless and void.

00:09:37.240 Anxiety, you know, comes from the unknown.

00:09:39.940 We're anxious about what we don't know,

00:09:41.800 what we can't predict, what we can't understand.

00:09:45.240 That means that the more that a person is living on solid ground

00:09:48.020 in a world that's understandable and cogent to himself,

00:09:50.960 the less that he will be anxious.

00:09:52.700 So what happens when you make even a person's basic biological identity

00:09:57.720 unintelligible and muddled?

00:10:00.400 What happens when you say to a child,

00:10:02.020 I have no idea who you are or what you are.

00:10:05.300 You can decide that for yourself,

00:10:06.900 even though you know nothing at all about the world or yourself.

00:10:10.460 And there's an endless array of changing options.

00:10:13.200 Just choose one.

00:10:14.480 I can't give you any guidance.

00:10:15.920 It's all up to you.

00:10:16.740 Also, by the way,

00:10:17.500 your identity could change 30 minutes later,

00:10:19.480 even after you choose one.

00:10:20.760 Nothing is firm.

00:10:21.440 Nothing is objective.

00:10:22.020 Nothing is lasting.

00:10:23.680 Have fun.

00:10:25.720 This is taking a five-gallon bucket of anxiety

00:10:28.600 and waterboarding him with it.

00:10:30.300 He is now drowning in uncertainty.

00:10:33.260 Rather than revealing the world and himself to himself,

00:10:36.620 which is one of the most fundamental jobs of a parent,

00:10:39.260 you've hidden both of those things from him.

00:10:42.400 You've made it all more obscure.

00:10:43.740 You say that you can give your child freedom by allowing him to be whatever he wants,

00:10:50.180 but there's no freedom in confusion.

00:10:52.560 A human being can't be free if they're not first a being.

00:10:56.560 You must be something, someone, in order to be free.

00:10:59.840 You might as well drop your five-year-old off at the airport with a stack of 20s and say,

00:11:04.980 you're free.

00:11:05.480 Go do whatever you want.

00:11:06.380 Anything at all.

00:11:07.380 Go anywhere.

00:11:09.540 That might be a nice treat for your kid after he graduates or something,

00:11:12.760 but for your young child, it's called abandonment.

00:11:17.380 And that's what all this gender stuff is.

00:11:19.780 It's abandonment, neglect, deprivation,

00:11:23.480 because you're depriving a child of what is most basic and essential.

00:11:29.560 That is himself.

00:11:33.480 Now let's get to our five headlines.

00:11:34.880 If you've been listening to this show for a while,

00:11:42.820 you've no doubt heard me talk about my Helix mattress,

00:11:45.800 which we have two now in our house.

00:11:48.580 We're big Helix fans in the Walsh household.

00:11:51.580 Well, if you've hopefully taken my advice to get on a Helix mattress,

00:11:55.240 then you know the next thing you need is a Helix sofa.

00:11:57.620 And whether you have the mattress or not, you still need to get the sofa.

00:11:59.620 Helix has left the bedroom and started making sofas.

00:12:01.820 They just launched a new company called Allform,

00:12:04.340 and they're already making the best sofas that I've ever seen or sat in more importantly.

00:12:09.940 So what makes an Allform sofa really cool?

00:12:11.400 For starters, it's the easiest way you can customize a sofa using premium materials

00:12:14.780 at a fraction of the cost of traditional stores.

00:12:17.200 You know, to do this normally, it's going to cost you a whole lot of money

00:12:19.960 and it's going to be way more affordable with Allform.

00:12:22.240 You can pick your fabric, the sofa color, the color of the legs, sofa size,

00:12:26.060 everything else that makes it a perfect fit for your home and frankly, for your butt as well.

00:12:31.200 Allform sofas are also delivered directly to your home

00:12:33.880 with fast, free shipping.

00:12:35.420 In the past, if you wanted to order a sofa, it could take weeks or even months to arrive.

00:12:39.040 And you need someone to come and assemble it in your home.

00:12:41.580 Allform takes just three to seven days to arrive in the mail

00:12:43.880 and you can assemble it yourself in a few minutes.

00:12:45.540 So you've got to take advantage of this.

00:12:48.140 To find your perfect sofa, check out allform.com slash Walsh.

00:12:51.660 And Allform is offering 20% off all orders for our listeners at allform.com slash Walsh.

00:12:57.160 All right, so last show before I go on vacation for several days.

00:13:04.920 You know, a wrench was nearly thrown into our plans yesterday

00:13:08.580 when we had to take our youngest daughter, one-year-old, to the emergency room.

00:13:14.980 It was a day before, you know, the trip.

00:13:17.420 And everything's fine now.

00:13:18.480 She was cleared after a break.

00:13:21.240 She had a possible concussion is what we were worried about.

00:13:23.820 And she was cleared and everything's fine.

00:13:25.380 And she's healthy.

00:13:27.600 I'm not going to get into the whole story,

00:13:28.900 except to say that she apparently wandered into a game of the floor is lava

00:13:34.980 among the older kids and accidentally got herself bowled over by her brother.

00:13:41.600 Pretty hard fall.

00:13:42.740 And honestly, she's lucky that she survived because she was wading in lava to begin with.

00:13:49.140 But hopefully we've gotten our vacation emergency room trip out of the way

00:13:54.320 because there always seems to be one.

00:13:56.140 A couple of years ago, it was me.

00:13:57.580 Blew out my Achilles on vacation.

00:13:59.920 And now we can kick back and enjoy, I guess, our 15-hour,

00:14:04.840 or really it's a 19-hour drive with four children under the age of nine.

00:14:09.260 You know, this is how much I hate flying, that I would rather do that.

00:14:17.220 But in fairness, in my experience, people tend to exaggerate, you know,

00:14:21.120 the pain of driving long distances with little kids.

00:14:26.660 I find it, here's what I'll say.

00:14:28.180 I find it to be, and we've done it a lot.

00:14:29.920 I find it to be no less enjoyable than, say, being buried alive in a box full of rabid squirrels.

00:14:38.660 You know, it's on that level.

00:14:40.680 I know that sounds kind of horrible.

00:14:43.280 And I guess it is.

00:14:44.740 So I'm not sure what my point was there.

00:14:46.660 But the good news is that the sustained close quarters kind of psychological torment

00:14:51.840 really prepares you in case you're ever arrested and sent to Gitmo or something,

00:14:56.080 which, frankly, these days is not outside the realm of possibility.

00:15:01.860 But we have a few things to talk about before I can wrap up.

00:15:06.280 In fact, I've got, we call this five headlines.

00:15:08.200 It's probably going to be more than five because I've got a bunch of stuff and I want to get through it.

00:15:10.840 It's all going to be dated by the time I get back.

00:15:13.520 Some of it might already be, frankly.

00:15:15.940 But we'll get into some of this.

00:15:17.280 So, number one, the Senate passed a bill yesterday, and this is going to go to the House.

00:15:21.060 So it's not official yet.

00:15:22.540 But they passed a bill unanimously establishing Juneteenth as a national holiday.

00:15:29.560 And I think we have some of the footage of this potentially historic moment.

00:15:34.220 Let's watch some of this.

00:15:36.120 Mr. President, I ask consent the Senate proceed to the consideration of S-Res 269 submitted earlier today.

00:15:44.360 The clerk will report.

00:15:45.660 Senate Resolution 269 designating June 19, 2021, as Juneteenth Independence Day in recognition of June 19, 1865,

00:15:55.780 the date on which news of the end of slavery reached the slaves in the southwestern states.

00:16:00.420 Without objection, the Senate will proceed to the measure.

00:16:03.680 I ask unanimous consent the resolution agreed to the preamble.

00:16:06.980 Why exactly am I playing this? I don't know.

00:16:09.660 I don't know why I'm asking you that question.

00:16:11.700 I should have an answer to that.

00:16:12.640 Really? I'll tell you why.

00:16:13.460 Why? Because this is the end of racism.

00:16:17.600 This is the Senate curing racism, finally.

00:16:21.060 And I feel like that's historic.

00:16:23.620 It's also historic because all of these people who just found out what Juneteenth was, like, last year,

00:16:29.900 now, they just found out last year, much of the country just found out last year what it is,

00:16:34.560 and now it is a deeply important holiday to them that should be celebrated not only in America but across the planet and, indeed, probably across the entire solar system.

00:16:47.980 Here's what I'll—just two quick things about this.

00:16:50.120 First of all, in looking at it objectively in a vacuum, having a holiday to celebrate the abolition of slavery makes sense.

00:17:03.520 Makes a lot of sense.

00:17:04.960 I can see that.

00:17:05.580 But I have a problem, and I've—and as you know, I've been saying this for years.

00:17:11.660 I am opposed, in principle, to anything that is done to appease or impress a mob.

00:17:21.800 Anything that is done with fraudulent intentions to appease or impress a mob.

00:17:27.080 And that includes tearing down statues.

00:17:29.860 It includes declaring holidays.

00:17:32.100 It includes anything.

00:17:33.160 If there is something worth doing, you do it because it's worth doing.

00:17:40.440 You don't do it all in a mad rush because you're trying to impress the mob or you're afraid of them or whatever.

00:17:47.340 And that's, of course, what's happening here.

00:17:50.000 It's not a coincidence that we had the riots and we have all of this and BLM,

00:17:54.800 and now they're saying, oh, you know what?

00:17:57.800 Yeah, let's make Juneteenth a national holiday.

00:17:59.560 It's the same thing I said with the statues.

00:18:04.380 I think a lot of the statues that were torn down were not deserving of that at all

00:18:10.800 and should have remained based on their own merits.

00:18:14.680 There may have been a few statues that you could make a reasonable argument for taking them down.

00:18:20.160 But even with those statues, I said all along, I oppose tearing them down now under these conditions.

00:18:29.560 All in one mad dash.

00:18:34.140 If it was not for that, if it wasn't for the mass hysteria and a community just on their own got together and said,

00:18:40.040 hey, we don't really want this statue, let's take it down, fine.

00:18:44.600 But under the circumstances, that's where I think it becomes a problem.

00:18:47.580 Also, I also have another problem.

00:18:54.540 If you, as Democrats do in the Senate, if you hate America and don't think that America itself is worth celebrating,

00:19:05.720 and in fact, you don't even think anymore that it's worth standing for the national anthem,

00:19:11.300 and you also think, as they would tell us and have said, that racism today is worse than it's ever been,

00:19:21.840 it's all been downhill,

00:19:23.440 then I don't know if you're necessarily equipped to come up with new national holidays.

00:19:35.180 I mean, I guess that's the deal maybe we should make.

00:19:37.480 It's like, okay, you want to make Juneteenth a national holiday?

00:19:40.320 Abolition of slavery?

00:19:41.520 Makes sense.

00:19:43.560 Sorry, are you saying now that we can celebrate America?

00:19:46.080 Is that what you're saying?

00:19:47.180 We can be proud of Americans?

00:19:48.200 Everyone should stand for the anthem.

00:19:52.240 July 4th comes along.

00:19:53.580 We should celebrate that and be happy and proud.

00:19:57.800 Putting all the apologies aside, we're moving past that.

00:20:00.040 Is that what you're saying?

00:20:04.220 I think you really got to pick a lane, it would seem to me.

00:20:08.620 All right.

00:20:09.260 We played yesterday the video of a guy shoplifting in San Francisco from a Walgreens,

00:20:14.020 though not really shoplifting,

00:20:15.220 because you think of shoplifting, you think of a guy grabbing something off the shelf,

00:20:17.840 sticking it in his pocket, walking out, trying to be discreet about it.

00:20:23.680 That's usually what you think of with shoplifting.

00:20:25.680 But not this guy.

00:20:26.920 He rode in on a bike and rode out casually with a garbage bag of merchandise.

00:20:34.100 If you didn't see that video, let's play that video for you again.

00:20:38.280 Well, the good news is you got the security there with the phones, and they're filming.

00:20:49.800 Oh, there he is.

00:20:50.220 There he goes.

00:20:51.420 Security guard tries to do his job.

00:20:54.820 He makes a noble attempt, grabbing for the bag.

00:20:59.440 Like, either you're going to try to stop the guy from stealing or not,

00:21:03.960 and considering you're a security guard, maybe you should try to stop him.

00:21:06.500 Like, if you're not, why are you there?

00:21:09.340 Why have a security guard at a Walgreens in San Francisco if they're not going to?

00:21:15.000 What actually is he there to do?

00:21:17.820 To film it with his phone?

00:21:19.360 Well, you have security cameras already.

00:21:23.900 That's, in a way, that's got to be a pretty plush job, to be a security guard in San Francisco.

00:21:30.700 If you don't have a job right now and you're looking for something,

00:21:32.940 go become a security guard in San Francisco because you don't have to do anything.

00:21:36.460 Your job is to, you're a figurehead.

00:21:39.220 You just sit there, you take a paycheck,

00:21:42.040 and kind of wave at people as they come in and steal things.

00:21:46.580 But if that's your approach, fine.

00:21:50.400 Well, not really fine, but if that's your approach,

00:21:52.760 all right, why even try to grab the bag at all?

00:21:55.800 That's what I don't understand.

00:21:57.200 But anyway, the guy, so he steals all that merchandise from Walgreens,

00:22:01.440 and we mentioned yesterday how this has been a big problem,

00:22:05.620 especially not just in San Francisco, but especially in San Francisco,

00:22:08.660 and stores have been shutting down.

00:22:11.420 There's like 17, I think it was Walgreens or CVS, I believe it was Walgreens,

00:22:14.340 and 17 locations had to shut down because of this.

00:22:19.900 And when you start having stores shut down, what does that mean?

00:22:22.340 It means people are losing their jobs.

00:22:25.400 And yet Newsweek says that there's been a furious debate

00:22:29.300 that was sparked by that video.

00:22:33.320 They report, quote,

00:22:34.360 And then it quotes various Twitter users.

00:22:46.520 I guess we don't actually need to read those.

00:22:48.500 San Francisco supervisor Asha Safai also responded to the video by writing,

00:22:53.080 this is exactly why I held a hearing on organized retail theft,

00:22:56.120 and I'm pushing for greater accountability on shoplifting in San Francisco.

00:23:00.420 As his tweet noted,

00:23:01.820 Safai held a hearing last month with retailers

00:23:04.160 to discuss the increase in retail crime in the city.

00:23:09.080 According to the San Francisco Chronicle, here it is,

00:23:11.760 over the past five years,

00:23:12.980 Walgreens has closed 17 locations in San Francisco.

00:23:15.620 Among the remaining Walgreens locations in the city,

00:23:18.580 theft incidents are four times the average number reported

00:23:21.420 in similar stores across the country.

00:23:23.360 Four times.

00:23:26.120 While speaking with Newsweek,

00:23:27.340 Safai said one of the most shocking things from the hearing

00:23:30.040 was to hear from Walgreens, CVS, Safeway, The Gap,

00:23:33.260 to hear them say that San Francisco is one of the epicenters

00:23:35.280 for organized retail crime in the United States.

00:23:37.440 So they're having hearings about it.

00:23:39.040 What do we do about this problem?

00:23:40.980 They're asking themselves,

00:23:43.900 you know, you could stop the people who are doing this

00:23:47.640 and arrest them?

00:23:49.440 It's probably the one thing that you could do.

00:23:52.820 I don't know how much discussion there really needs to be had about it.

00:23:58.060 But from what I could tell,

00:23:59.220 the debate is among some on the left,

00:24:04.540 and are probably being generous by saying just some,

00:24:06.900 who are essentially claiming that this is a victimless crime.

00:24:14.400 And, yeah, you know what?

00:24:15.780 Run in, go into Walgreens, steal all you want,

00:24:18.360 because all you're really doing is taking from

00:24:20.340 the guy who, the CEO of Walgreens,

00:24:23.720 whoever that happens to be.

00:24:25.420 And we know that all CEOs are villains, are bad people.

00:24:31.160 Unless it's like the CEO of Planned Parenthood or something.

00:24:33.480 We make exceptions there.

00:24:34.440 Well, of course, even if you were only,

00:24:40.000 quote-unquote, only stealing from a CEO,

00:24:42.900 it's still stealing.

00:24:45.540 The basic problem,

00:24:47.900 and I wish this didn't have to be explained,

00:24:50.360 the basic problem with stealing,

00:24:52.320 no matter who you're stealing from,

00:24:54.200 is that the thing you're taking is not yours.

00:24:58.860 This is what I teach my three-year-olds.

00:25:01.460 You can't take something that's not yours.

00:25:05.820 That's the issue.

00:25:09.820 But, of course, it's not.

00:25:11.780 The CEO is the last person impacted by this.

00:25:16.800 The people at the top of Walgreens,

00:25:19.860 I doubt they've suffered very much financially

00:25:21.900 from the fact that 17 locations

00:25:23.400 were shut down in San Francisco.

00:25:24.960 The people that suffer are the people that work there

00:25:27.460 and lost their jobs.

00:25:28.240 So, the logic that's given,

00:25:33.180 it's the same thing we hear,

00:25:34.220 the defenses of rioting and looting.

00:25:37.020 We're told that,

00:25:38.020 oh, no, this is,

00:25:39.220 if you're taken from anyone,

00:25:40.400 you're taken from the fat cats.

00:25:43.800 Which, even if that was true,

00:25:45.480 it still wouldn't justify it,

00:25:46.660 but it's not true.

00:25:47.680 So, this is an argument that's wrong

00:25:48.980 on every conceivable level.

00:25:50.420 All right, next, this is from the Daily Wire.

00:25:55.420 It says,

00:25:55.800 under the suggestion and guidance

00:25:57.340 of the BIPOC members of the group,

00:26:03.420 a New Zealand youth environmental protest group

00:26:06.100 inspired by teen activist Greta Thunberg,

00:26:08.500 disbanded,

00:26:09.740 accusing itself of racism.

00:26:13.100 School Strike for Climate,

00:26:15.680 that's the name of the group.

00:26:17.200 Their Auckland chapter wrote on June 12th,

00:26:19.880 quote,

00:26:20.580 School Strike for Climate Auckland

00:26:23.140 is disbanding as an organization.

00:26:25.840 This is under the suggestion and guidance

00:26:27.860 of the BIPOC,

00:26:29.540 Black, Indigenous, and People of Color,

00:26:31.440 members of our group,

00:26:32.460 as well as individual BIPOC activists

00:26:34.380 and organizations.

00:26:35.440 We are not holding any more climate strikes

00:26:37.160 in the Auckland region.

00:26:38.640 BIPOC communities are disproportionately affected

00:26:40.740 by climate change,

00:26:41.620 so the fight for climate justice

00:26:42.900 should be led by their voices and needs.

00:26:45.280 not Pakea ones.

00:26:48.500 Pakea means white New Zealanders, apparently.

00:26:50.720 I'm probably pronouncing that horribly wrong,

00:26:52.280 but the group continued

00:26:55.060 and said that there was an urgent need

00:26:56.760 to decolonize the organization.

00:27:00.700 And then they continue from there

00:27:01.860 and explain how

00:27:02.840 the BIPOC members suggested

00:27:07.540 that the organization should be destroyed,

00:27:10.700 and so the white members said,

00:27:11.980 well, okay, well, if you say so.

00:27:13.020 Well, everything we worked for,

00:27:15.220 we're going to just toss it out.

00:27:16.380 I mean, this is an organization

00:27:19.140 that we started

00:27:19.800 and it meant a lot to us,

00:27:21.220 but if you're telling us

00:27:23.100 that we should just get rid of it,

00:27:24.160 then we will.

00:27:27.760 The whole idea that,

00:27:30.780 and we hear this a lot,

00:27:31.840 that the communities of color,

00:27:35.160 quote-unquote,

00:27:35.820 are disproportionately affected

00:27:38.780 by climate change,

00:27:40.880 environmental racism,

00:27:42.060 and so on,

00:27:44.260 well, how can that possibly be the case

00:27:46.880 if what we're being told

00:27:48.200 about climate change is true?

00:27:50.320 Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez

00:27:51.560 is telling us that climate change

00:27:53.060 is going to destroy the whole earth

00:27:54.620 in like 10 or 11 years.

00:27:56.800 It keeps changing.

00:27:57.520 I feel like the,

00:27:59.760 it seems as though

00:28:01.000 the timeline has been 12 years

00:28:04.040 for the past like five years.

00:28:06.600 They keep saying,

00:28:07.660 it's always 12 years.

00:28:09.180 The destruction of the earth

00:28:10.360 is always 12 years in the future,

00:28:12.080 which is kind of interesting.

00:28:13.780 But whenever it happens,

00:28:16.140 if it's going to happen,

00:28:17.360 that's what you're talking about.

00:28:19.500 You're saying the entire planet.

00:28:21.420 We're destroying the planet.

00:28:22.980 So if the whole planet is destroyed

00:28:26.980 and the human race comes to an end,

00:28:30.520 how can that disproportionately affect

00:28:33.060 a certain race of people?

00:28:38.080 It's like a,

00:28:39.020 if there's a,

00:28:39.700 a,

00:28:41.260 an asteroid,

00:28:43.040 the size of Texas,

00:28:44.960 bearing down,

00:28:45.640 about to collide with earth,

00:28:47.400 going to turn earth

00:28:48.280 into a giant fireball.

00:28:50.040 And you would have these white liberals saying,

00:28:53.960 you know,

00:28:54.180 I'm really concerned about

00:28:54.940 how this is going to affect

00:28:55.860 communities of color.

00:28:58.600 Yeah,

00:28:59.040 it'll,

00:28:59.380 it'll affect them

00:29:00.340 in a pretty devastating way,

00:29:01.440 but also everybody else.

00:29:06.980 Um,

00:29:07.780 and of course the answer is that

00:29:08.900 climate change is not destroying the earth,

00:29:10.580 but that's what they claim.

00:29:12.020 So I don't know,

00:29:13.740 I don't know how exactly

00:29:14.960 any individual group of humans

00:29:17.380 could be disproportionately affected

00:29:19.260 by

00:29:20.320 the human race

00:29:21.660 coming to an end.

00:29:23.620 Um,

00:29:24.160 okay,

00:29:24.380 next year we have

00:29:25.060 Merrick,

00:29:25.520 Merrick Garland,

00:29:26.380 Attorney General.

00:29:27.260 He,

00:29:27.540 uh,

00:29:28.020 has been

00:29:28.760 on a tear recently

00:29:29.980 talking about the threat posed

00:29:32.060 by

00:29:32.500 white supremacists.

00:29:35.240 He talks about it a lot.

00:29:37.260 We still haven't really seen

00:29:38.560 these white supremacists,

00:29:39.800 but

00:29:41.280 he's,

00:29:41.860 he's telling us

00:29:42.440 they're out there.

00:29:43.480 And here he is once again,

00:29:44.780 uh,

00:29:45.000 discussing this,

00:29:45.920 this dangerous threat.

00:29:46.900 The number of open FBI

00:29:49.460 domestic terrorism investigations

00:29:51.320 this year

00:29:52.100 has increased significantly.

00:29:55.180 According to an unclassified summary

00:29:57.560 of the March intelligence assessment,

00:29:59.680 the two most lethal elements

00:30:01.220 of the domestic violence

00:30:02.420 extremist threat

00:30:03.640 are racially or ethnically motivated

00:30:06.000 violent extremists

00:30:07.160 and militia violent extremists.

00:30:09.200 In the FBI's view,

00:30:11.560 the top domestic

00:30:12.480 violent extremist threat

00:30:13.800 comes from

00:30:14.500 racially or ethnically

00:30:16.240 motivated

00:30:16.760 violent extremists,

00:30:18.460 specifically those

00:30:19.580 who advocated

00:30:20.380 for the superiority

00:30:21.380 of the white race.

00:30:23.740 We keep hearing this

00:30:25.440 from him.

00:30:27.080 This exact line,

00:30:28.520 actually,

00:30:28.940 he keeps,

00:30:29.440 we've heard this many times.

00:30:32.360 The greatest threat

00:30:33.720 is the domestic extremists,

00:30:35.040 specifically those

00:30:35.880 motivated by a belief

00:30:37.540 in the superiority

00:30:38.040 of the white race.

00:30:38.660 he keeps talking about it

00:30:41.560 and yet we haven't seen.

00:30:45.340 These are,

00:30:47.820 either they don't,

00:30:49.100 they mostly don't exist

00:30:50.620 or they've discovered

00:30:53.320 some sort of,

00:30:54.220 they have some sort of

00:30:54.980 invisibility cloak

00:30:56.400 that they've discovered,

00:30:57.720 which would,

00:30:59.800 which would certainly,

00:31:00.640 I would agree,

00:31:01.220 if they have that,

00:31:02.020 then now I'm even more concerned.

00:31:06.720 But how do they get away?

00:31:07.800 How do they get away

00:31:08.380 with doing this?

00:31:09.480 Well,

00:31:09.640 as we've discussed,

00:31:10.500 it's pretty clear.

00:31:11.640 It's easy to say

00:31:13.080 that white supremacist violence

00:31:15.580 is the greatest

00:31:16.700 domestic terror threat

00:31:18.040 when you've ruled out

00:31:20.240 or decided

00:31:21.560 that the more,

00:31:23.300 the more severe

00:31:25.360 domestic terror threats

00:31:26.700 aren't really terror threats.

00:31:28.000 so Antifa,

00:31:31.620 when you think about

00:31:31.980 domestic terror threats

00:31:33.440 or domestic groups

00:31:36.640 that are out there

00:31:38.100 right now

00:31:39.020 committing acts of violence,

00:31:41.920 causing chaos

00:31:42.620 in the street.

00:31:44.480 Who's doing that?

00:31:45.320 First thing that comes to mind,

00:31:46.100 Antifa,

00:31:46.540 also BLM.

00:31:48.020 But guys like Merrick Garland

00:31:49.360 from the beginning

00:31:50.060 have said,

00:31:50.600 well,

00:31:50.900 except them,

00:31:51.640 they don't count

00:31:52.180 because Antifa,

00:31:53.480 what's Antifa?

00:31:54.220 It doesn't even exist.

00:31:55.400 It's an idea

00:31:56.200 in the hearts of men.

00:31:59.000 And BLM,

00:32:00.120 they're racial,

00:32:01.260 they're racial justice activists.

00:32:04.500 Yeah,

00:32:04.940 they have a propensity

00:32:05.600 to burn down buildings

00:32:06.720 and loot

00:32:08.000 and kill people,

00:32:08.680 but you know,

00:32:09.420 it's just their way

00:32:10.340 of expressing themselves.

00:32:14.180 So if you do that,

00:32:16.100 then yeah,

00:32:17.200 if you rule out,

00:32:18.080 if you have a list

00:32:18.740 of the most dangerous

00:32:19.820 domestic extremists

00:32:21.400 and everyone at the top

00:32:24.300 you've ruled out

00:32:24.900 for one reason or another,

00:32:27.220 which is always

00:32:27.800 the real reason

00:32:28.420 is ideology and politics,

00:32:30.460 then yeah,

00:32:31.020 eventually you're going

00:32:31.540 to get down

00:32:32.020 to white supremacists.

00:32:33.640 And well,

00:32:33.980 they're the only ones left.

00:32:37.400 Also,

00:32:38.000 former FBI agent

00:32:38.960 Andrew McCabe

00:32:39.880 was on CNN

00:32:40.600 after this,

00:32:42.260 after these comments

00:32:42.960 from Merrick Garland

00:32:44.140 reacting.

00:32:46.240 And

00:32:46.640 he was,

00:32:48.880 he was asked about

00:32:49.700 the attack

00:32:50.440 on the GOP softball game

00:32:51.860 a few years ago.

00:32:53.020 I want to talk about

00:32:53.780 a domestic

00:32:55.040 terrorist attack.

00:32:57.840 We've got

00:32:58.500 a far left

00:32:59.400 militant

00:33:00.200 showing up

00:33:01.320 at a GOP

00:33:02.560 softball game

00:33:03.340 and trying to

00:33:05.720 assassinate

00:33:06.440 a whole baseball field

00:33:07.640 full of

00:33:08.260 Republican politicians.

00:33:10.900 That you would think,

00:33:12.020 now,

00:33:12.180 okay,

00:33:12.460 there is domestic terrorism,

00:33:14.560 ideologically motivated.

00:33:16.820 But Andrew McCabe

00:33:18.000 says that,

00:33:18.580 maybe not really.

00:33:19.440 Let's listen to him.

00:33:20.040 Andy,

00:33:21.580 I thought it was

00:33:22.160 significant.

00:33:23.180 The Attorney General

00:33:24.180 said very clearly

00:33:24.980 that the FBI's view,

00:33:26.460 the top domestic

00:33:27.360 violent extremist threat

00:33:28.860 right now,

00:33:30.100 comes from

00:33:30.900 racially and ethnically

00:33:32.380 motivated violent extremists.

00:33:33.920 He's talking about

00:33:34.600 white supremacists.

00:33:35.540 But he also took care

00:33:37.060 to note

00:33:38.260 extremism

00:33:39.660 and attacks

00:33:40.420 on all

00:33:41.780 political parties,

00:33:43.500 on all

00:33:44.480 races and creeds

00:33:46.020 and religions.

00:33:46.660 He noted

00:33:47.300 the congressional

00:33:48.720 baseball

00:33:49.500 practice

00:33:50.760 that was attacked

00:33:51.480 only after

00:33:52.620 the gunmen

00:33:53.380 had asked

00:33:53.960 if they were

00:33:54.480 Republicans.

00:33:55.520 I thought it was

00:33:56.200 significant.

00:33:56.920 Did you think

00:33:57.320 that was significant

00:33:57.980 that he raised this?

00:34:00.000 Yeah,

00:34:00.460 it was,

00:34:01.300 and an incredibly

00:34:02.420 deft way

00:34:03.600 to bring in

00:34:04.540 that other side

00:34:05.440 of the equation.

00:34:06.580 I mean,

00:34:06.840 let's call it

00:34:07.620 what it is,

00:34:08.340 right?

00:34:08.500 I think he came

00:34:09.060 right out and said,

00:34:10.180 you know,

00:34:10.440 our biggest

00:34:11.480 hotspot right now

00:34:12.500 is racially motivated,

00:34:14.400 ethnically motivated

00:34:15.340 extremists,

00:34:16.080 and we all know

00:34:17.720 that the broad

00:34:18.400 majority of those

00:34:20.520 are white supremacists,

00:34:22.940 people targeting

00:34:24.360 people of color

00:34:25.800 and immigrants

00:34:26.520 and things like that.

00:34:27.560 But he brought

00:34:28.480 the other side

00:34:29.380 of the equation

00:34:30.060 into it

00:34:31.260 by referring

00:34:31.940 to the shooting

00:34:33.180 of the congressional

00:34:34.420 baseball practice

00:34:35.580 and he did it

00:34:36.380 very carefully

00:34:36.960 by saying

00:34:37.660 a shooting

00:34:38.360 by someone

00:34:39.100 who committed

00:34:40.280 a shooting

00:34:40.680 only after

00:34:41.440 he confirmed

00:34:42.380 that the players

00:34:44.240 were Republican.

00:34:45.040 So I think

00:34:45.820 that reflects

00:34:46.360 the fact

00:34:46.680 that the FBI

00:34:47.540 still doesn't

00:34:48.200 exactly know

00:34:49.260 what that shooter

00:34:50.480 was up to.

00:34:51.360 They never

00:34:51.700 really uncovered

00:34:52.820 the sort of

00:34:53.520 detailed evidence

00:34:54.780 that laid out

00:34:55.760 a specific plot

00:34:56.540 or an objective,

00:34:57.060 but it is undeniable

00:34:58.560 that he was

00:34:59.300 targeting Republicans.

00:35:00.520 It was really,

00:35:01.100 I thought,

00:35:01.940 very effective.

00:35:03.240 What?

00:35:05.240 What?

00:35:06.420 The FBI

00:35:07.180 never discovered

00:35:07.900 what a specific

00:35:08.600 objective was,

00:35:09.840 yet it's undeniable

00:35:10.740 that he was

00:35:11.260 targeting Republicans.

00:35:12.380 um,

00:35:13.980 Andy,

00:35:14.480 that's the objective.

00:35:19.540 Total incoherence.

00:35:22.440 And this is what

00:35:23.420 happens when,

00:35:24.260 when these ideologues

00:35:25.660 are absolutely

00:35:26.300 committed

00:35:26.920 to the notion

00:35:28.640 ahead of time

00:35:29.360 that the greatest

00:35:30.920 threat,

00:35:31.400 the greatest

00:35:32.020 violent threat

00:35:32.780 we face,

00:35:33.740 right-wing extremists,

00:35:35.120 that has to be

00:35:36.720 the case

00:35:37.240 no matter what.

00:35:39.380 That's what would

00:35:41.120 bring someone

00:35:41.540 like McCabe.

00:35:42.600 He could sit there

00:35:43.280 and say,

00:35:44.200 yeah,

00:35:44.340 he was targeting

00:35:45.040 Republican politicians.

00:35:46.840 He actually asked

00:35:47.900 ahead of time,

00:35:48.820 are these Republicans?

00:35:49.860 And then pulled out

00:35:50.720 the guns and started

00:35:51.220 shooting.

00:35:52.520 But still,

00:35:53.280 we don't really know

00:35:54.100 what he was doing.

00:35:56.160 That is as clear

00:35:57.520 as it could possibly be.

00:36:00.860 If even after that

00:36:02.240 you can't know

00:36:03.020 his motive,

00:36:03.920 then you can't know

00:36:04.700 anyone's motive.

00:36:06.160 You certainly can't

00:36:06.740 declare the motives

00:36:07.360 of these alleged

00:36:08.280 white supremacists.

00:36:09.380 If that's not

00:36:12.800 clear enough,

00:36:13.320 what possibly

00:36:14.040 could be clear enough?

00:36:16.600 And of course,

00:36:17.060 McCabe also says

00:36:17.840 that everybody knows

00:36:18.940 that the greatest

00:36:20.240 threat are these

00:36:21.000 white groups

00:36:22.040 that are targeting

00:36:23.040 people of color

00:36:23.860 and immigrants.

00:36:25.340 Really,

00:36:25.860 everyone knows that

00:36:26.500 because I don't.

00:36:30.280 You make it sound

00:36:31.420 like this is happening

00:36:32.120 all the time,

00:36:32.780 every day.

00:36:34.660 Well,

00:36:34.860 please start

00:36:35.540 listing examples.

00:36:38.500 Give me,

00:36:38.900 I don't know,

00:36:40.660 given that this is

00:36:41.600 the greatest threat,

00:36:43.400 bigger threat

00:36:44.260 than BLM,

00:36:44.860 bigger threat

00:36:45.120 than Antifa,

00:36:46.040 can you give me

00:36:46.820 from the last year,

00:36:48.200 I don't know,

00:36:48.760 10 examples,

00:36:51.280 five,

00:36:52.920 two

00:36:54.660 of this sort

00:36:56.760 of thing?

00:36:59.420 I don't think

00:36:59.980 you can.

00:37:00.980 All right,

00:37:01.280 moving on.

00:37:01.740 Like I said,

00:37:01.960 we got a lot to cover

00:37:02.580 and I'm just trying

00:37:03.280 to blow through

00:37:04.120 as many of these

00:37:04.560 as I can.

00:37:04.900 this is from,

00:37:06.400 I wanted to mention

00:37:06.900 this briefly

00:37:07.840 from the website

00:37:08.920 Uproxx.

00:37:10.280 It says,

00:37:10.660 a recent study

00:37:11.220 conducted by the

00:37:12.200 Annenberg Inclusion

00:37:13.380 Initiative at the

00:37:14.180 University of Southern

00:37:14.780 California found

00:37:16.020 that Muslims are

00:37:17.220 woefully underrepresented

00:37:18.900 in film.

00:37:20.240 The report,

00:37:21.440 which is titled

00:37:22.320 Missing and Maligned,

00:37:23.620 the Reality of Muslims

00:37:24.740 in Popular Global Movies,

00:37:26.260 discovered that

00:37:26.780 in 200 popular films

00:37:27.900 released between

00:37:28.600 2017 and 2019

00:37:29.840 in the United States,

00:37:31.540 UK,

00:37:32.020 Australia,

00:37:32.320 and New Zealand,

00:37:33.140 Muslims account

00:37:33.600 for only 1.6%

00:37:35.020 of speaking roles.

00:37:36.540 To break it down

00:37:37.220 even further,

00:37:37.860 quote,

00:37:38.100 while Muslims make up

00:37:39.040 24% of the global

00:37:40.360 population,

00:37:41.040 they made up

00:37:41.420 less than 2%

00:37:42.340 of the film's research,

00:37:44.000 meaning out of

00:37:44.560 8,965 speaking characters

00:37:47.080 in 200 movies,

00:37:48.240 144 were Muslim.

00:37:50.280 Of the 144 Muslim

00:37:51.660 characters,

00:37:52.260 about 34 were

00:37:53.400 Muslim women.

00:37:54.920 This according

00:37:55.360 to USA Today.

00:37:59.380 And this is a big

00:38:00.540 problem that we have

00:38:01.340 to, of course,

00:38:01.880 solve.

00:38:03.020 A lack of Muslim

00:38:03.860 representation in film.

00:38:05.520 The reason I mention this

00:38:06.640 is that it's a,

00:38:07.880 it perfectly illustrates

00:38:09.280 how nonsensical

00:38:11.860 this modern idea

00:38:13.600 of representation is,

00:38:14.800 especially when it

00:38:15.440 comes to film.

00:38:17.120 First of all,

00:38:17.740 you notice what they

00:38:18.340 did there?

00:38:20.020 They're looking at films

00:38:21.500 in the US, UK,

00:38:23.380 Australia,

00:38:23.920 and one other country,

00:38:25.000 right?

00:38:26.660 And to show that

00:38:27.600 there's an

00:38:27.940 underrepresentation,

00:38:29.220 they tell us that

00:38:30.440 the global percentage

00:38:31.860 of Muslims

00:38:32.640 is 24%.

00:38:33.820 Well, 24%

00:38:36.640 Muslims on the globe,

00:38:38.240 only 2% in these movies.

00:38:39.520 Yeah, but you weren't

00:38:40.140 looking at movies

00:38:41.240 globally.

00:38:44.240 If you included

00:38:45.400 films that were made

00:38:46.500 in Muslim-majority

00:38:47.460 countries,

00:38:47.880 I'm sure that percentage

00:38:48.900 would go up.

00:38:50.900 But you specifically

00:38:51.900 didn't do that

00:38:52.780 because you're trying

00:38:53.260 to build this case.

00:38:53.980 because in reality,

00:38:57.580 let's just take

00:38:58.260 the United States,

00:38:58.940 for example.

00:39:01.000 And I can't tell you

00:39:02.080 off the top of my head

00:39:02.800 what the percentage

00:39:04.120 of Muslims in the UK

00:39:05.260 is, for example.

00:39:05.840 It's going to be higher,

00:39:06.840 significantly higher

00:39:07.380 than it is in the United States.

00:39:08.020 But in the United States,

00:39:09.180 I think the percentage

00:39:10.620 by population

00:39:12.580 of Muslims

00:39:13.280 in the United States

00:39:13.920 is probably 1%

00:39:16.300 around there.

00:39:17.640 Very small.

00:39:19.820 And so,

00:39:20.200 what does representation mean?

00:39:21.620 Representation means

00:39:22.500 if Muslims are being

00:39:24.280 proportionally represented

00:39:26.780 in film,

00:39:27.700 then that means

00:39:29.200 that they would show up

00:39:30.140 in films

00:39:30.800 really rarely

00:39:32.080 because they show up

00:39:34.840 in the population rarely.

00:39:37.660 1% is very small.

00:39:40.060 So,

00:39:40.600 if you're rarely

00:39:41.400 seeing Muslims

00:39:42.140 in films

00:39:42.920 in the United States,

00:39:43.800 that means that Muslims

00:39:44.760 are being

00:39:45.260 properly represented

00:39:46.740 because they are

00:39:47.800 a small minority.

00:39:49.380 That's what representation

00:39:50.360 means.

00:39:51.800 Now,

00:39:52.100 if you have 1%

00:39:52.760 of the population

00:39:53.360 and you want them

00:39:54.660 to be in 10%

00:39:56.140 of films,

00:39:56.900 you're not looking

00:39:57.620 for representation.

00:39:58.320 You're looking for something

00:39:58.860 quite a bit more than that.

00:40:00.640 What you're calling for

00:40:01.680 is massive,

00:40:03.320 exponential

00:40:03.960 over-representation.

00:40:06.040 And so,

00:40:06.300 be honest about

00:40:06.880 what you're calling for.

00:40:09.220 And the other thing

00:40:10.040 that's always lost

00:40:11.460 in these discussions

00:40:13.720 about representation

00:40:14.580 is the small matter

00:40:17.900 of choice,

00:40:21.380 right?

00:40:22.780 People make choices.

00:40:24.460 We hear the same thing

00:40:25.760 when it comes to women

00:40:26.540 in the workplace.

00:40:28.480 And we're told women

00:40:29.500 make 78 cents

00:40:31.340 on the dollar,

00:40:31.900 which is totally false.

00:40:34.880 But it is true

00:40:36.940 that women

00:40:37.560 oftentimes will go

00:40:39.140 to lower-paying professions.

00:40:42.120 And we're told

00:40:42.720 that this is a big problem.

00:40:44.380 But once again,

00:40:45.120 you're taking choice

00:40:45.840 out of the equation.

00:40:46.980 Do you ever consider

00:40:47.440 that maybe women

00:40:48.320 go into those kinds

00:40:49.900 of professions

00:40:50.280 because that's what

00:40:50.880 they want to do?

00:40:54.200 Muslims

00:40:54.560 are underrepresented

00:40:58.000 in film

00:40:58.500 in the United States.

00:40:59.160 but I guarantee you

00:41:01.180 if we look at

00:41:01.820 doctors,

00:41:04.100 engineers,

00:41:05.280 those sorts of professions,

00:41:07.420 the STEM field,

00:41:08.720 they're going to be

00:41:09.280 over-represented.

00:41:11.000 What does that tell us?

00:41:11.520 It means that

00:41:12.040 in a lot of Muslim families

00:41:13.560 and in Muslim culture,

00:41:15.500 they put an emphasis

00:41:16.420 on those kinds of professions

00:41:17.800 and not as much

00:41:18.740 of an emphasis

00:41:19.200 on the arts.

00:41:20.540 Not true across the board,

00:41:21.800 but generally speaking.

00:41:23.480 Is that a problem?

00:41:25.340 What are you saying?

00:41:26.000 We should have fewer Muslim...

00:41:27.120 We need to siphon

00:41:28.040 some of the Muslim doctors off

00:41:29.560 and put them in movies instead.

00:41:32.920 No, people make choices

00:41:34.020 and that's perfectly fine.

00:41:36.080 I got one TikTok video.

00:41:37.340 We got to play it.

00:41:38.060 I'm sorry.

00:41:38.920 I can't...

00:41:39.460 I cannot go into vacation

00:41:40.500 knowing that my last show

00:41:41.520 we didn't play a TikTok video.

00:41:42.960 It wouldn't feel right to me.

00:41:44.260 So, here we have a TikTok

00:41:45.960 of a woman,

00:41:47.620 a white woman,

00:41:48.460 explaining why fatphobia

00:41:50.040 is racist.

00:41:51.080 So listen up.

00:41:52.700 Here's your reminder

00:41:53.560 that fatphobia

00:41:54.320 is rooted in racism.

00:41:55.420 As always,

00:41:56.560 if you haven't read

00:41:57.400 this book,

00:41:58.740 go do that.

00:42:00.180 The main thing to understand

00:42:01.200 is that for the last

00:42:01.940 300-ish years,

00:42:03.560 white folks have been

00:42:04.400 marketing fatness

00:42:05.240 as a black trait.

00:42:06.600 And this is regardless

00:42:07.460 of whether or not

00:42:08.240 black people individually

00:42:09.260 were actually fat.

00:42:10.660 That was irrelevant.

00:42:12.140 The message they spread

00:42:12.980 was that black women

00:42:13.740 specifically were ravenous

00:42:15.140 and uncontrollable,

00:42:16.320 and these barbaric traits

00:42:17.680 made them fat.

00:42:18.720 On the flip side,

00:42:19.680 thinness was marketed

00:42:20.440 as a white trait.

00:42:21.700 Again, regardless of whether

00:42:22.800 or not individual white people

00:42:24.060 were actually thin,

00:42:25.080 that was irrelevant.

00:42:26.540 The idea was that

00:42:27.360 white women specifically

00:42:28.380 were refined and restrained,

00:42:30.420 and this led them to having

00:42:31.440 delicate, thin bodies.

00:42:33.360 Over the years,

00:42:33.920 these messages have become

00:42:34.980 more subtle,

00:42:35.540 but even today,

00:42:36.220 they are still very prevalent

00:42:37.260 in conversations around race,

00:42:38.820 health, capitalism,

00:42:39.480 and poverty.

00:42:41.740 This is the irony of these,

00:42:43.220 of the woke set,

00:42:44.820 is that in the effort

00:42:46.980 to dispel what they call

00:42:49.880 racist stereotypes,

00:42:51.620 they're spreading those,

00:42:53.820 oftentimes inventing

00:42:55.080 the stereotypes,

00:42:57.540 and spreading them

00:43:00.460 in an effort to dispel them.

00:43:02.860 So this is another example

00:43:03.760 of that.

00:43:05.240 Here's,

00:43:05.500 and she's not the only one

00:43:07.220 making this claim,

00:43:07.780 and she's referring to a book.

00:43:09.920 The stereotype that,

00:43:11.160 that black people are fat,

00:43:14.200 that's wrong.

00:43:15.300 I've never even heard

00:43:16.320 of that before.

00:43:17.140 That's,

00:43:17.420 I've,

00:43:17.840 I've,

00:43:18.700 that's an association

00:43:19.660 I've never made.

00:43:20.880 I've never,

00:43:21.300 I've never heard of that stereotype

00:43:22.880 until the woke people

00:43:24.180 started saying it.

00:43:26.160 Until they got up there

00:43:27.020 and said,

00:43:27.260 hey, you know,

00:43:28.040 not all black people

00:43:28.840 are fat, okay?

00:43:30.520 Okay.

00:43:32.020 Who said they were?

00:43:34.680 I,

00:43:35.040 I think you meant to put that

00:43:35.920 in your diary or something.

00:43:37.160 This is not,

00:43:37.660 that's not for,

00:43:38.200 for the,

00:43:39.060 to say to the public.

00:43:41.460 Don't project your own issues,

00:43:43.420 your own biases

00:43:44.180 onto everybody else.

00:43:46.760 If I were to,

00:43:47.620 if someone told me,

00:43:48.440 imagine a fat person,

00:43:50.220 probably the,

00:43:51.540 I would imagine a fat white guy.

00:43:53.200 That's the first thing

00:43:53.800 that would probably pop into my mind.

00:43:55.920 I don't spend a lot of time

00:43:57.000 imagining fat people,

00:43:57.860 but if I did,

00:43:58.340 that's what I would do.

00:44:00.040 I wouldn't immediately

00:44:00.820 go to a black,

00:44:01.400 but even that,

00:44:02.120 I don't know,

00:44:02.380 maybe that's racist too.

00:44:04.680 Because the other part of this

00:44:05.660 is that we're also told

00:44:06.900 that fat is beautiful

00:44:09.040 and fat is a good thing.

00:44:11.000 It's a positive thing.

00:44:11.940 It's nothing to be ashamed of.

00:44:15.260 And so if that's the case,

00:44:17.720 then even if someone

00:44:18.600 did have this stereotypical notion

00:44:20.160 that black people

00:44:21.240 are more likely to be fat

00:44:22.200 or whatever it is,

00:44:23.980 isn't it a compliment

00:44:24.920 according to you?

00:44:25.560 Fat is beautiful.

00:44:27.380 What are you saying?

00:44:28.160 That black people

00:44:28.680 aren't beautiful?

00:44:29.180 Is that what you're saying?

00:44:32.060 Seems to be a little bit

00:44:32.900 of a conflict there.

00:44:33.560 Bit of a conflict.

00:44:35.180 And no,

00:44:36.020 in reality,

00:44:37.580 obesity is not a racial thing.

00:44:40.120 It's pretty simple, really.

00:44:42.120 If you eat

00:44:43.160 many more calories

00:44:44.180 than you burn,

00:44:45.540 you're going to get fat

00:44:46.600 and gain weight,

00:44:47.320 whatever your race is.

00:44:48.960 That is a problem

00:44:49.820 that cuts across

00:44:50.500 all racial boundaries.

00:44:52.820 And oftentimes,

00:44:53.620 I'll meet someone,

00:44:55.260 they ask me for what I do

00:44:56.620 for a living

00:44:57.140 and I'm offended

00:44:58.680 that they don't already know.

00:45:00.220 And then I tell them

00:45:01.120 and then they ask me,

00:45:02.300 you know,

00:45:02.520 well, why should I watch your show?

00:45:03.820 Why do I have to explain myself

00:45:05.580 to you in the first place?

00:45:07.000 I'm very bad

00:45:07.600 at this self-promotion,

00:45:09.000 as you could probably tell.

00:45:10.480 But if I had to answer it,

00:45:11.920 it's number one

00:45:12.600 for the conservative commentary.

00:45:13.700 But number two,

00:45:14.340 probably most important,

00:45:15.720 it's to get a load

00:45:16.800 and get a sight

00:45:17.920 of my glorious,

00:45:19.200 beautiful beard.

00:45:20.720 And I know all of you,

00:45:22.320 you know,

00:45:22.680 you want the same,

00:45:23.700 you want the same

00:45:24.260 in your life,

00:45:24.920 that kind of beard.

00:45:25.880 And what I tell you,

00:45:26.680 what you need

00:45:27.180 is upkeep, okay?

00:45:28.840 You can't just let it grow

00:45:29.820 and neglect it.

00:45:31.000 You have to make sure

00:45:32.440 you're taking care

00:45:32.960 of the beard

00:45:33.240 as it's growing.

00:45:33.860 And that's why

00:46:16.600 All right, let's go now

00:46:17.440 to reading the YouTube comments.

00:46:19.400 This is from J.R. Crash.

00:46:21.580 He says,

00:46:21.860 Abuela's Ghost

00:46:22.840 sounds like an awesome name

00:46:24.040 for a band.

00:46:24.680 It does, actually.

00:46:26.780 I'll agree with you there.

00:46:29.080 Maximilian says,

00:46:29.780 Matt, I think you should change

00:46:30.720 the title of your show

00:46:31.680 to The Bad News

00:46:32.620 with Matt Walsh.

00:46:33.500 The more I think about it

00:46:35.120 came to me yesterday

00:46:36.260 in a moment of inspiration.

00:46:38.120 I only have those

00:46:39.100 every once in a while.

00:46:41.060 The more I think about it,

00:46:41.840 the more I like it.

00:46:42.380 I don't know if the powers

00:46:46.140 that be here

00:46:46.640 would necessarily like

00:46:48.040 that kind of branding

00:46:48.720 for the show.

00:46:50.220 The Bad News.

00:46:53.460 Because there aren't

00:46:54.680 very many people

00:46:55.600 who,

00:46:56.680 if you're selling

00:46:57.160 the show that way,

00:46:58.060 would actually want

00:46:59.120 to click on that

00:46:59.820 and watch it

00:47:00.300 or listen to it.

00:47:01.420 Yeah, let me get

00:47:01.920 some more of that bad news.

00:47:02.880 See, I would,

00:47:03.960 but I think most people

00:47:04.620 probably would.

00:47:05.160 Another comment says,

00:47:08.920 referring to me

00:47:09.580 calling the presidency

00:47:10.380 the most stressful job

00:47:11.480 on the planet,

00:47:12.160 says, Matt,

00:47:12.560 you're too smart for that.

00:47:13.480 People don't pay

00:47:13.960 $100 million in campaigns

00:47:15.860 to be the most stressed

00:47:16.780 person on the planet.

00:47:19.300 Yeah,

00:47:19.760 the most stressful job

00:47:20.960 on the planet,

00:47:21.500 obviously hyperbole.

00:47:23.860 But it is a stressful job

00:47:25.520 being the president.

00:47:27.220 It doesn't mean

00:47:27.900 that all of our presidents

00:47:30.420 have done the job well

00:47:31.480 or even most of them

00:47:32.280 have done it well.

00:47:32.880 But there's no denying

00:47:35.460 that it is a physically

00:47:36.320 and mentally stressful job.

00:47:37.460 I don't think

00:47:37.720 there's any way around that.

00:47:39.200 And all you have to do

00:47:40.500 is look at the physical

00:47:41.400 transformations of

00:47:42.680 pretty much every president

00:47:44.820 in the modern times

00:47:46.340 except for Trump.

00:47:47.460 He's the only one

00:47:48.000 who came out looking the same

00:47:49.020 as he did going in.

00:47:50.560 But all the rest of them

00:47:51.680 look like they age 20 years

00:47:52.940 in the Oval Office.

00:47:55.120 Doesn't mean they were

00:47:55.760 doing a great job,

00:47:56.760 but it's obviously

00:47:58.480 a very stressful position

00:48:01.520 where you're out in front

00:48:02.860 of the entire world

00:48:03.600 and you have a lot of

00:48:05.760 great amount of power

00:48:07.680 and responsibility

00:48:08.240 and everything else.

00:48:10.140 And that's why

00:48:12.120 you probably don't want

00:48:13.100 someone who's 80 years old

00:48:14.680 to be dealing

00:48:16.180 with that level of stress.

00:48:18.900 If the job aged

00:48:20.600 Obama and Bush

00:48:22.980 20 years in eight years,

00:48:25.160 what's it going to do

00:48:25.900 to someone who's already 80

00:48:27.020 or 78?

00:48:30.780 Trail Price says,

00:48:32.000 Matt, I think it's about time

00:48:32.980 we address the alien

00:48:33.980 in the room.

00:48:34.720 I don't know what

00:48:35.260 in the world

00:48:35.980 you're possibly referring to.

00:48:40.240 And finally,

00:48:41.700 Edward and Jessica say,

00:48:43.300 thank you, Matt.

00:48:43.800 I really needed to feel

00:48:44.640 even more nervous

00:48:45.480 about my flight on Friday.

00:48:46.960 Yeah, we were talking

00:48:47.420 yesterday about all the

00:48:48.320 violent incidents

00:48:49.840 on airplanes

00:48:50.940 have skyrocketed recently.

00:48:52.740 On top of that,

00:48:53.540 it's more expensive

00:48:54.300 than ever.

00:48:54.960 You have to wear a mask.

00:48:56.040 And that's why,

00:48:56.820 you know,

00:48:57.300 you're taking a flight.

00:48:58.560 I will do anything.

00:49:00.480 If I had to go

00:49:01.480 across the ocean,

00:49:02.380 we would go across

00:49:03.660 in a rowboat

00:49:04.320 rather than take a plane

00:49:06.460 at this point.

00:49:07.860 Well, we've got drag queens

00:49:09.280 singing to our children

00:49:10.360 on Nickelodeon.

00:49:11.840 We've got little girls

00:49:12.600 being encouraged

00:49:13.260 to twerk in the street,

00:49:14.120 which we'll talk about

00:49:14.660 in just a second.

00:49:15.820 The left is,

00:49:16.800 we know,

00:49:17.440 trying to wipe out

00:49:19.620 our culture

00:49:20.580 as it once was

00:49:21.420 and replace it

00:49:22.000 with a brand

00:49:22.660 of woke authoritarianism.

00:49:24.260 And we have to stop them.

00:49:25.280 And that's why you need

00:49:25.800 to pick up Ben Shapiro's

00:49:26.840 new book,

00:49:27.260 The Authoritarian Moment,

00:49:28.400 and learn about

00:49:29.100 how we got to this place

00:49:30.660 as a society

00:49:31.300 and where we can go

00:49:32.140 from here.

00:49:32.660 So if you understand

00:49:33.560 the threat this poses

00:49:34.360 to our future,

00:49:34.980 it's time to read up

00:49:35.840 on the truth

00:49:36.920 and stop the nonsense

00:49:38.080 in its tracks.

00:49:38.840 The Authoritarian Moment

00:49:39.500 is now available

00:49:40.060 for pre-order

00:49:40.640 at Amazon,

00:49:41.800 Barnes & Noble,

00:49:42.300 or any other

00:49:42.800 major bookseller.

00:49:44.140 You know,

00:49:44.260 it's no secret also

00:49:45.160 that the left is a cult,

00:49:46.560 which,

00:49:47.120 and cults are notoriously

00:49:48.180 hard to leave.

00:49:49.280 However,

00:49:49.520 some do find the strength

00:49:50.940 to get out.

00:49:51.660 Georgia Howe

00:49:52.380 is one of those people.

00:49:53.700 A former teacher

00:49:54.300 and liberal Georgia Howe

00:49:55.380 saw the ideological

00:49:56.940 indoctrination

00:49:57.620 sweeping the nation

00:49:58.420 and took a stand

00:49:59.000 against it,

00:49:59.520 which you can now

00:50:00.140 listen to or do

00:50:00.940 anywhere,

00:50:02.680 anytime on her podcast,

00:50:04.420 Office Hours,

00:50:05.120 from discussing

00:50:05.740 critical race theory

00:50:06.640 to transgenderism

00:50:07.920 to all the woke nonsense

00:50:09.780 in her school.

00:50:10.500 She's really good

00:50:11.040 on that topic,

00:50:11.680 especially,

00:50:12.920 you get all of that

00:50:20.700 for the ultimate

00:50:21.200 listening experience

00:50:21.980 no matter where you are.

00:50:23.740 Now let's get

00:50:24.180 to our daily cancellation.

00:50:29.300 All right, Matt,

00:50:30.020 hold on for me

00:50:30.580 for just one moment.

00:50:31.460 We need to come in

00:50:32.160 and make an adjustment.

00:50:32.800 To you.

00:50:35.540 Happy birthday to you.

00:50:39.900 Happy birthday, dear Matt.

00:50:43.360 Happy birthday to you.

00:50:50.240 Thank you.

00:50:51.080 Thank you.

00:50:54.060 Are we filming this right now?

00:50:56.300 Is that the idea?

00:50:57.420 Okay.

00:50:57.880 Well, I'm generally opposed

00:51:00.280 to birthdays,

00:51:00.940 as you all know,

00:51:01.760 but I'll make an exception

00:51:02.500 in my own case.

00:51:03.260 So thank you all for that.

00:51:06.160 What am I supposed to do?

00:51:06.940 Blow this out?

00:51:07.900 It doesn't seem

00:51:08.560 very COVID safe,

00:51:09.320 but...

00:51:10.320 Well, it took me a five.

00:51:14.860 That was pathetic.

00:51:16.120 All right.

00:51:17.400 Thank you.

00:51:19.160 Thoroughly embarrassed

00:51:20.040 and I appreciate it.

00:51:21.000 Thank you.

00:51:23.060 So are we still doing the show

00:51:24.460 or today

00:51:25.980 for our daily cancellation?

00:51:28.480 I'm going to cancel

00:51:29.120 everyone involved

00:51:29.980 in that unseemly display.

00:51:34.040 But I also have something

00:51:35.240 that hopefully requires

00:51:37.140 little explanation.

00:51:39.600 And I think it really speaks

00:51:40.260 for itself.

00:51:41.400 And I have to admit,

00:51:42.660 I struggle with this,

00:51:45.160 with whether to show

00:51:46.040 this kind of thing

00:51:46.700 or talk about it.

00:51:47.780 Because on one hand,

00:51:48.660 I don't want to call attention to it

00:51:50.040 and contribute unintentionally

00:51:51.020 to the problem.

00:51:51.620 But on the other hand,

00:51:52.260 I don't want to ignore

00:51:53.000 the abuse of a child

00:51:54.420 and let it go and criticize.

00:51:55.460 And that brings us to

00:51:56.220 this viral video

00:51:58.300 as reported by The Blaze.

00:52:00.020 Quote,

00:52:00.600 a video of a crowd

00:52:01.840 applauding and encouraging

00:52:02.800 a young girl

00:52:03.380 who is twerking in the street

00:52:04.420 in New York City

00:52:04.960 outraged many on social media

00:52:06.620 who called it abusive

00:52:07.420 and immoral.

00:52:08.800 The video was posted

00:52:09.460 to a Twitter account

00:52:10.180 but originated

00:52:10.660 from an account

00:52:11.400 on TikTok

00:52:12.260 called

00:52:13.100 Your Fave African F.A.,

00:52:15.880 whatever that is.

00:52:17.020 It shows a very young girl

00:52:18.300 twerking while the crowd

00:52:19.500 records videos,

00:52:20.520 applauds,

00:52:20.880 and laughs.

00:52:21.700 The original video

00:52:22.200 was first posted to TikTok

00:52:23.140 and only garnered

00:52:23.840 207,000 views,

00:52:25.440 far fewer than those

00:52:26.340 on the same video

00:52:26.920 posted to Twitter.

00:52:27.840 And before we go any further,

00:52:28.740 I'll show you the video

00:52:29.440 just so you understand

00:52:30.360 what we're dealing with here.

00:52:32.840 And here it is.

00:52:33.840 We all need this confidence

00:52:36.240 in life.

00:52:38.560 Now, as The Blaze alluded to,

00:52:53.640 plenty of people were

00:52:54.380 rightfully outraged

00:52:55.480 by that video.

00:52:56.160 The sexualization of a child

00:52:57.200 by a group of cheering adults

00:52:58.520 is the kind of thing

00:52:59.440 that should provoke outrage

00:53:00.420 in the hearts and minds

00:53:01.160 of all good and decent people.

00:53:02.780 We shouldn't react to

00:53:03.620 the perpetual outrage culture

00:53:06.580 as some do

00:53:07.980 by deciding that apathy

00:53:09.800 is the best course,

00:53:10.940 as if outrage

00:53:11.940 in and of itself

00:53:12.880 is the problem.

00:53:14.540 And that's been

00:53:14.800 the defense mechanism

00:53:15.520 of many people,

00:53:16.500 including many on the right,

00:53:17.780 who wish to demonstrate

00:53:18.780 their non-leftist bona fides

00:53:21.660 by not objecting to

00:53:23.540 or showing any anger

00:53:24.600 towards our cultural decay.

00:53:28.220 That's the wrong approach,

00:53:29.640 to put it mildly.

00:53:30.280 The problem with outrage,

00:53:32.040 just as with cancel culture,

00:53:33.200 is that it often targets

00:53:34.300 the wrong things

00:53:35.200 and it's wielded

00:53:36.260 in the wrong ways.

00:53:37.880 I'm not against people

00:53:38.580 being outraged,

00:53:39.480 nor am I against

00:53:40.140 people getting

00:53:41.140 or things getting canceled,

00:53:42.800 obviously.

00:53:43.840 I'm against both of those

00:53:45.580 when they're disordered,

00:53:47.200 improper, misapplied,

00:53:48.400 or fraudulent,

00:53:49.080 or some combination

00:53:49.980 of the four.

00:53:52.100 But not everybody

00:53:52.940 was outraged by the video.

00:53:54.000 It did have its defenders,

00:53:55.100 including a guy

00:53:55.600 named Pete Dominick,

00:53:57.160 who apparently is a comedian

00:53:58.800 of some sort.

00:53:59.720 And he came after me

00:54:01.220 and accused me

00:54:01.820 of being worse

00:54:02.520 than the Taliban

00:54:03.220 because I said

00:54:04.720 that the adults

00:54:05.280 in that video

00:54:05.880 should be arrested.

00:54:07.440 Actually, in fairness,

00:54:08.100 I said that if I ever

00:54:09.000 run for president,

00:54:09.820 my one promise

00:54:10.620 is that I will arrest

00:54:11.520 all adults involved

00:54:12.560 in that sort of thing.

00:54:13.760 And that sort of thing

00:54:14.380 being the sexualization

00:54:15.240 of children.

00:54:16.260 That's not entirely true,

00:54:17.200 though.

00:54:17.400 I would do a few other things

00:54:18.780 as well as president,

00:54:20.340 like build a 300-foot statue

00:54:21.900 of Christopher Columbus

00:54:22.680 in the middle of D.C.

00:54:23.680 just out of spite.

00:54:24.460 And I'd ban U.S. embassies

00:54:27.720 from flying pride flags

00:54:29.040 or any flag

00:54:29.640 that isn't an American flag.

00:54:31.440 I might do a few

00:54:32.220 other things, too,

00:54:32.900 but certainly criminalizing

00:54:33.900 the abuse and exploitation

00:54:34.740 of children in all forms

00:54:36.100 and imprisoning the abusers

00:54:38.200 would be at the top

00:54:38.900 of the list.

00:54:40.280 For this,

00:54:41.360 Dominic accused me

00:54:42.320 of being worse

00:54:43.240 than the Taliban.

00:54:44.560 And then he went on

00:54:45.240 to argue that there isn't

00:54:46.120 anything necessarily wrong

00:54:47.260 with young children

00:54:48.220 twerking on the street corner.

00:54:50.000 And he's not alone

00:54:50.980 in that view.

00:54:51.940 Obviously, he's not alone

00:54:52.880 as the young child

00:54:53.620 in the video

00:54:54.060 was surrounded by adults

00:54:55.120 who clearly felt

00:54:56.420 the same way

00:54:57.720 about the situation.

00:54:59.740 What we have to understand

00:55:00.720 about a video like that

00:55:02.140 is that it's not

00:55:03.540 an aberration.

00:55:04.720 It's not something

00:55:05.540 that happens out of the blue

00:55:06.700 in an otherwise decent

00:55:08.460 and morally adjusted culture.

00:55:11.020 Now, this is born

00:55:11.840 from primarily two factors.

00:55:14.120 One, the blurring of lines,

00:55:16.560 the blurring of the lines

00:55:17.400 of distinction

00:55:17.860 between adults and children.

00:55:19.820 In our culture,

00:55:20.520 kids are routinely exposed

00:55:21.760 to all kinds of degeneracy

00:55:23.440 that even adults

00:55:24.360 in prior generations

00:55:25.240 would have never seen

00:55:26.720 or heard

00:55:27.260 or encountered

00:55:27.820 in any form.

00:55:29.620 And now kids

00:55:30.160 at very young ages

00:55:31.060 are exposed to it.

00:55:33.600 Meanwhile, kids

00:55:34.180 are given power

00:55:34.960 and agency

00:55:35.500 that they are not equipped

00:55:36.400 to handle

00:55:36.760 as discussed in the opening.

00:55:38.520 They're given the power

00:55:39.300 even to decide

00:55:40.080 their own identity.

00:55:41.620 So the idea

00:55:42.480 of the innocence

00:55:43.240 and naivete

00:55:43.840 of children

00:55:44.340 has been lost.

00:55:45.060 Meanwhile, too,

00:55:45.880 the role of adults,

00:55:47.280 of parents,

00:55:47.880 has been similarly blurred

00:55:49.680 into oblivion.

00:55:51.420 Many parents these days

00:55:52.280 think that their job

00:55:53.440 is simply to facilitate

00:55:55.460 their children's choices,

00:55:57.340 whatever those choices

00:55:58.020 happen to be,

00:55:58.920 and ensure at least

00:56:00.120 a basic level

00:56:01.040 of physical safety

00:56:02.440 maybe as the kids

00:56:03.560 go about living

00:56:04.700 however they want to live

00:56:05.760 and doing whatever

00:56:06.280 they want to do.

00:56:07.640 This is the kind

00:56:08.580 of environment

00:56:09.020 that we've created

00:56:09.840 and it gives rise

00:56:11.460 to many terrible things,

00:56:13.260 that video being

00:56:14.200 just one rotten fruit

00:56:15.560 from that tree.

00:56:16.800 I hope I don't have

00:56:18.220 to go any further

00:56:18.820 to explain

00:56:19.440 the problem

00:56:20.460 with what we just witnessed

00:56:21.300 or to justify myself

00:56:23.420 in saying

00:56:23.900 that all of the adults

00:56:24.940 involved there

00:56:25.560 are canceled

00:56:27.460 and quite a lot more

00:56:29.780 would happen to them

00:56:30.380 if I was in a position

00:56:31.700 of authority,

00:56:32.320 which fortunately

00:56:33.280 for everyone probably,

00:56:34.600 I never will be.

00:56:36.140 And we'll leave it there

00:56:37.100 for today

00:56:37.660 and for the next

00:56:40.660 several days.

00:56:42.580 I wish you all well

00:56:43.600 as you're working

00:56:45.360 in the drudgery

00:56:46.080 and toil of your jobs.

00:56:48.400 I'll be enjoying

00:56:49.240 my vacation

00:56:50.280 the best that one can

00:56:51.520 with four kids

00:56:52.180 and I'll see you back

00:56:53.720 in a little bit.

00:56:55.660 Have a great day.

00:56:57.100 Godspeed.

00:57:02.580 Well, if you enjoyed

00:57:03.340 this episode,
