Today on the Matt Wall Show, the Republican governor of South Dakota has accused me of
00:00:04.280
horrible misogyny, quote unquote, because I criticized her. She used leftist buzzwords
00:00:09.340
and even a Media Matters clip to hit me in hopes of impressing the left. But as always,
00:00:13.960
when Republicans try this kind of move, it has not worked out as she intended. So there's a lot
00:00:17.700
we can learn from this. We'll talk about it today. Also, Dylann Roof's death penalty sentence was
00:00:21.860
upheld yesterday, and yet we have not heard any of the anti-death penalty advocates on the left
00:00:26.480
protest that decision, funny enough. And a freshman orientation seminar at a university
00:00:30.400
claims that straight white Christians are natural oppressors. Plus, Nancy Pelosi calls for Congress
00:00:35.720
to pass a law that will stop hurricanes and floods from happening. I'm not sure what kind of law will
00:00:39.820
do that. And our daily cancellation will discuss the DoorDash delivery drivers who are calling for
00:00:44.180
higher wages and better tips. But do they really deserve it? We'll discuss that and much more today
00:00:56.480
Republican legislators in South Dakota have crafted a bill called the COVID-19 Vaccine Freedom of
00:01:04.360
Conscience Act to stop employers from forcing their workers to get the COVID vaccine. But Kristi Noem,
00:01:11.500
the Republican governor of the state, is refusing to sign it. She argues that employees who don't want
00:01:16.760
to be vaccinated can just go work somewhere else. If you don't want to inject this substance into your
00:01:21.700
body, go get a new job, she says. Also, as she stated on Wednesday, if she dictates vaccine policy
00:01:28.300
to businesses, quote unquote, then Joe Biden can do the same. Now, this is a bizarre argument as it
00:01:33.820
suggests that the president of the United States is looking to the governor of South Dakota for guidance
00:01:39.220
or as a precedent. But the president of the United States, like a true Democrat, doesn't even look to
00:01:44.900
the Constitution or the Supreme Court, much less to Kristi Noem of South Dakota. He simply does what he
00:01:50.100
wants and he enacts the policies that he prefers without any concern for what anyone did before him.
00:01:55.840
Where was the precedent for the executive branch telling all landlords across the country that
00:01:59.920
they can't evict delinquent tenants? Biden admitted that there was no precedent, that it wasn't even
00:02:05.420
legal to do it, and yet he did it. But this is the difference between Democrats and feckless
00:02:10.840
Republicans. Democrats use the power that they've been granted, and then they seize additional power
00:02:17.360
that they were not granted on top of it. Republicans oftentimes, most times I would say,
00:02:22.980
will not even use the legitimate authority of the offices they hold for fear that if they act,
00:02:28.780
Democrats will also act. They'd rather let the Democrats act on their own with no response or
00:02:34.160
opposition. It's better to, you know, not get into a fight with your opponent. Better to lay down
00:02:38.240
and let them stomp you into the dust. Because if you fight back, it might hurt even more.
00:02:43.480
That seems to be the Republican approach. Even more than with the vaccine issue,
00:02:49.100
Noam exemplified this way of thinking a few months ago when she refused to sign
00:02:52.920
another Republican bill, which we talked about at the time. This one would have banned biological
00:02:57.640
males from competing in female sports. Noam said she didn't want to extend the ban all the way into
00:03:02.820
the collegiate level because if they do that, then the NCAA might, in her words, quote, punish us.
00:03:09.260
She didn't want to take a stand for science and common sense and truth and decency and reason
00:03:14.380
for fear that such a stand would provoke the ire of people whose ire is constantly provoked anyway.
00:03:20.880
Also, I suspect that it's not a coincidence that Noam's view on the issue lined up perfectly
00:03:25.980
with the South Dakota Chamber of Commerce, which opposed the bill. Noam typically finds herself in
00:03:30.300
alignment with the Chamber of Commerce like a typical Republican, and I don't mean that as a compliment.
00:03:35.160
I also was, admittedly, not complimenting Kristi Noam yesterday on this show, which you may have
00:03:41.300
heard, when I theorized openly that her popularity on the right was due to her looks. She's an attractive
00:03:49.100
woman, especially by political standards. And this, I said yesterday, and still say today,
00:03:57.140
explains, in my opinion, why she garners all of the hype that she does. Now, I didn't say that her
00:04:02.640
looks are the sole reason why she's the governor of South Dakota. I didn't say it's why she has
00:04:07.200
achieved any political success at all. I said that her emergence as a conservative icon on the national
00:04:13.680
stage is due in large part to her appearance. It's true that, you know, Noam never locked down her
00:04:19.880
state, and a lot of people were very, a lot of people on the right were happy about that. She garnered
00:04:24.220
applause on the right for that, well-deserved applause. I still applaud her for it.
00:04:28.040
But other Republican governors also refuse to instate statewide lockdowns or statewide mask
00:04:34.160
mandates, and yet many of them have not gotten the kind of attention that she attracts.
00:04:38.660
Take the Republican governor of Nebraska, Pete Ricketts. Let's take a look at what he looks like.
00:04:44.120
Now, there's Pete Ricketts. I don't mean to insult him. He's a fine-looking person in his own way,
00:04:48.240
I'm sure, but I think he will have to work a little bit harder to get the kind of attention that
00:04:55.120
Kristi Noam gets, okay? And the reason is obvious. It's obvious, and yet it's one of the many obvious
00:05:03.400
things we're not supposed to say out loud. We all know that there are certain benefits and privileges
00:05:09.860
that come with being a physically attractive person. We hear a lot about privilege, okay? Hot
00:05:15.660
privilege, that's a real, that's real privilege. And there are many scientific studies that prove this
00:05:20.460
generally and also specifically when it comes to politicians. There are many of these privileges
00:05:26.420
that come with it, especially being an attractive woman, even more so. Now, we all know that.
00:05:31.240
Every one of us. Without exception. We all know that. And yet, if you vocally acknowledge this thing
00:05:37.720
that we all know and agree with, every single one of us, you'll be condemned as a misogynist.
00:05:44.460
Now, that was my experience yesterday. After discussing this subject on my show, criticizing
00:05:49.640
Noam for her policies and her lack of political courage, and then suggesting that her popularity
00:05:54.120
is due more to her physical features, Media Matters, as is their custom, clipped that part of
00:05:59.680
the program and posted it to their website and to Twitter, trying to gin up some outrage.
00:06:04.900
And the attempt fell rather flat at first. Frankly, I was myself disappointed by their selection
00:06:10.320
because I said many more objectionable things on the show yesterday. And I would have preferred
00:06:14.200
if they'd chosen one of those segments instead. I mean, I knew they were going to choose something
00:06:16.840
because they always do. And they went with that. And my first reaction was,
00:06:20.720
this is what you guys are going with? Of all of the things I said, this?
00:06:27.840
That people are gravitating towards a particular politician because of how she looks?
00:06:31.620
That's the supposedly offensive thing? Nobody reacted much or cared about it until
00:06:38.320
Kristi Noam herself, the governor of South Dakota, took that Media Matters clip, cut it down even
00:06:44.480
shorter to remove the context and the reason for my criticism, focusing only on the part where I
00:06:49.940
comment on her looks, and posted it to her own Twitter page. In fact, her official governor Twitter
00:06:54.880
page, along with this caption, it read, quote, instead of engaging in a debate about the proper
00:06:59.960
role of government and how it isn't conservative to tell people how to do business, Matt Walsh stooped
00:07:04.560
to horrible misogyny. Eyes up here, Matt. But she wasn't done. She then went to her personal page
00:07:11.460
and posted again, this time also telling on me to my boss by tagging Ben Shapiro.
00:07:18.200
And she said, quote, hey, Ben Shapiro, tell Matt Walsh I was roping bulls, maybe he's a steer,
00:07:24.400
bigger than him when I was in my teens. He couldn't walk a day in my shoes. Girl power.
00:07:29.620
And she's right. I probably wouldn't fit in her shoes. But if she was a college athlete,
00:07:34.640
I could take her place on the team according to her policies. By the way, let's note that a steer,
00:07:40.340
okay, is a castrated bull. So that's the dig she was trying to make there, which is fine.
00:07:45.740
Okay, pretty good insult. I'm not offended by it. I dish it. I can take it. But you can't go for the
00:07:52.400
ruthless insult while also tattling on me to my boss. Hey, guess what Matt said, Ben?
00:08:00.800
And also crying about horrible misogyny. You really got to pick a lane, Christy.
00:08:04.820
You're either the tough as nails woman riding in on your horse, roping bulls,
00:08:08.420
or you're a fragile feminist accusing your critics of misogyny. It's got to be one or the other.
00:08:14.300
Or might I suggest you could choose neither of those characters because they both ring false.
00:08:18.740
The rough and tumble girl power schtick is especially inauthentic, seeing as how, you know,
00:08:24.580
you'll go head to head with a right-wing podcast host while kowtowing to corporate interests and the
00:08:30.220
LGBT lobby. I mean, where was, where were these, where were, where was this backbone that all the
00:08:39.140
courage here? Where was this when the, when the NCAA was coming after her? No, they'll punish us.
00:08:45.700
And what about this misogyny charge? Is it, is it sexist? Is it anti-woman for me to accuse
00:08:53.440
Christy Noem of benefiting politically from her physical attractiveness? No, it isn't. Because
00:08:58.320
for one thing, again, it's true and everybody knows that it's true. You can argue about the extent to
00:09:04.420
which it has helped, but if you tell me that it hasn't helped at all, that I'm way off in left field
00:09:09.960
here, then I will know that you're either stupid or lying. Well, let's pretend for a moment that the
00:09:16.740
accusation is not true. Okay. Let's say that I am off in left field. Well, then that would make me
00:09:22.920
wrong. It would make me unfair, perhaps even a jerk. It would make me many things potentially.
00:09:28.700
And I may be all of those things. It still wouldn't make me sexist though, because I heap
00:09:36.420
extremely harsh criticism on politicians all the time. It's one of my favorite pastimes. And I believe
00:09:41.540
it should be a favorite pastime of all red-blooded Americans. I criticize male and female politicians
00:09:46.940
alike. I mean, go back to some of the shows where I was talking about Asa Hutchinson, Governor Asa
00:09:53.660
Hutchinson, when he refused to sign the bill banning the castration of children. Go check
00:09:59.740
out some of the things I said about him. Quite a bit harsher, in fact. Now, is all of my criticism
00:10:05.780
of politicians accurate? I mean, most of it is, yeah. Well, actually all of it is, I think. But
00:10:10.280
even if it isn't, the criticism is motivated by my dislike for politicians, especially the ones
00:10:16.640
that I consider to be weak, ineffectual, and dishonest. It's not motivated by dislike for women.
00:10:22.000
Now, it's probably pointless for me to explain all of this, because the explanation presupposes
00:10:27.040
that the accusation was sincere and honest in the first place, which it wasn't. Noam was using a
00:10:32.120
leftist buzzword and trying to gin up left-wing outrage against me in order to make herself
00:10:36.220
the victim. And that brings us to the most important point, and the reason that I'm talking about all of
00:10:41.780
this. Here we see the critical mistake that conservatives so often make, especially elected
00:10:47.260
Republicans who call themselves conservative. Noam was using a media matters clip and leftist
00:10:53.820
language to hit someone to the right of her, hoping to win favorability points among people
00:10:59.000
to the left of her. There'd be no other reason to do that. You're not going to be using media
00:11:06.660
matters and using the word misogynist and attacking someone to your right if you're trying to appeal
00:11:12.420
to people to your right. No, this was a play for people to her left. Did it work? No, not remotely.
00:11:21.480
Check social media today to see what folks on the left are saying about the Christy Noam versus Matt
00:11:25.560
Walsh feud, and you'll find that they are in wide agreement that we're both terrible people and scum
00:11:31.680
of the earth and disgraceful ignoramuses and so on. The sympathy that Noam has gotten has come in the
00:11:36.600
form of comments like this from a guy named Brian Rosenwald. This is pretty, pretty representative
00:11:41.880
of the kind of things people are saying. He says, I think Christy Noam is terrible and her decisions
00:11:45.620
have cost people their lives, but Matt Walsh's comments were the purest form of misogyny you'll
00:11:50.340
ever see. He wouldn't say the same things about Ron DeSantis with a similar profile. It's a firing
00:11:55.920
offense, but it's conservative media. Well, she got her wish in one respect. People are calling for me
00:12:02.780
to be fired. And yet, and that obviously is what she wanted. That's again, why she tagged my boss in
00:12:08.120
a tweet. And yet the people calling for me to be fired still say that Noam herself is a mass murdering
00:12:13.940
monster. And she is in the same way that I'm a misogynist. At least we have seen Republicans
00:12:20.440
make this mistake a thousand times, thousands and thousands of times. They criticize their own side
00:12:27.580
using leftist frameworks in hopes of impressing the left. And then the whole thing just collapses
00:12:34.660
on them. And they're the only one who gets crushed in the end. And that's the lesson that hopefully
00:12:40.820
we all can learn from this. Now let's get to our five headlines.
00:12:45.200
You know what I hate more than anything in this world? And it's a very, very long list,
00:12:56.760
as you know, going to the auto parts store. I just hate the auto parts store. And that's why I love
00:13:03.420
rockauto.com. I have a, I have an perhaps even unreasonable distaste for auto parts stores. And
00:13:09.260
why is it? Well, because you got to go there, you walk around, you're looking for what you need.
00:13:11.660
They don't have what you need. They're asking a bunch of questions. Uh, you can't answer the
00:13:15.160
questions and it's just, it's a whole big ordeal. Why not just go to rockauto.com? They always offer
00:13:20.160
the lowest price as possible. So if you know that you're, that you're, if you're getting it on
00:13:24.000
rockauto.com, you know that it's the best price you're going to get anywhere else. No need to keep
00:13:27.860
shopping around. They're a family business. They've been serving auto parts customers online for 20
00:13:31.820
years. You can go to rockauto.com to shop for auto and body parts from hundreds of manufacturers.
00:13:36.400
The catalog is unique and very easy to navigate. You can quickly see all the parts available
00:13:39.960
for your vehicle and you can choose the brands and specifications, the prices you prefer.
00:13:44.300
All of it is right there, rockauto.com. So you go to rockauto.com right now and see all of those
00:13:50.060
parts available for your car, truck. And as always remember to give me credit for this and write
00:13:54.620
Walsh in there. How did you hear about this box? So they know that we sent you. All right. So,
00:13:59.080
uh, and I have gotten a lot of, uh, requests from the media messages and, uh, people messaging,
00:14:04.840
email me, emailing, asking me, uh, first of all, I'm getting a lot of, uh, requested. Do you want
00:14:10.620
to apologize? Do you want to apologize for what you said about Kristi Noem? Newsweek, a Newsweek
00:14:16.900
reporter is doing an article about this and he contacted me and said to ask if I regret using
00:14:24.340
misogynistic language about Kristi Noem. That was the framing of the question. It wasn't,
00:14:29.520
do you think that your comments were misogynistic? Do you regret using misogynistic language? And
00:14:35.440
then he wanted to know if I want to clarify my comments for him. He was going to give me a chance
00:14:41.000
to clarify before he writes his hit piece, calling me a misogynistic bigot. So here was my response to
00:14:47.300
him. Uh, I emailed back and, uh, his guy's name was Anders. And I said, Anders, feel free to attribute
00:14:52.520
this to me on the record in response to your request for comment. Uh, and then my comment is, no,
00:14:56.380
I do not regret stating an obvious truth. I will however, accept apologies from all of the
00:15:00.180
performative idiots pretending to be offended by it. And, uh, he responded and said that he will
00:15:05.080
include that statement in his Newsweek article, which is great. So that is my, that's my general
00:15:09.440
for anyone in the media. That's my general, you could, you could all take that statement.
00:15:15.540
Uh, as far as apologizing, uh, I can't even say the word apology without laughing.
00:15:23.000
Okay. I, and I, and I really say this sincerely, I would rather be dead than issue any kind of public
00:15:33.620
apology about anything, especially to some sniveling snake in the media. I would prefer death over
00:15:42.960
sending an email to someone in the media. So I sincerely regret and apologize for those comments.
00:15:48.320
And please don't be mad at me anymore. Death seems far more appealing to that because, because
00:15:55.820
that's a, that's a form of death. That's the death of your dignity as a man. And you're never going
00:16:02.560
to get it back. Not ever going to happen. I can tell you that right now. Even if I'm wrong,
00:16:09.620
I will never apologize publicly. You will never hear me say it. Even if I'm wrong and I'm not wrong in
00:16:14.920
this case, but even if I was, even if I did regret my horrible misogyny, the last thing I would ever
00:16:25.520
do is publish a statement or sit here saying, I'm so, I've thought more about it. I deeply regret. I'm so
00:16:31.100
sorry. I think my, my stance on that should be clear by now. The genre of the public apology needs
00:16:40.340
to go away. Shouldn't exist. You're sorry about something. If you're really actually sorry
00:16:48.660
because you caused harm or you damaged somebody, those are the things you should be sorry for. If
00:16:55.020
you actually did something unfair or, or mean or whatever, and you, you, you hurt somebody in some
00:17:00.500
way, then you go and you find them and you apologize to them personally. It doesn't have to be for public
00:17:06.680
spectacle. You don't know the public and apology for anything. And especially not in this case,
00:17:14.520
because I am just unbelievably, absolutely 100% right in everything that I said. Uh, if I apologize
00:17:23.660
for anything, it's just for being so right about it and making other people feel intellectually inferior
00:17:30.120
because of my rightness. If I apologize for anything, it's, it's, it's maybe that. All right,
00:17:35.260
go now to, uh, we'll start with the AP, which has this report. It says a federal appeals court
00:17:41.360
Wednesday upheld Dylan Roof's conviction and death sentence for the 2015 racist slayings of nine
00:17:47.180
members of a black South Carolina congregation saying the legal record cannot even capture the
00:17:52.980
full horror of what he did. A unanimous three judge panel of the fourth U S circuit court of appeals in
00:17:58.900
Richmond rejected arguments that the young white man should have been ruled incompetent to stand
00:18:03.060
trial in the shootings at mother Emanuel AME church in Charleston. And, uh, so now he's, uh, still going
00:18:13.040
to face the death penalty and his mental impairment claim is not panned out, which is great. He, he
00:18:20.380
deserves the death penalty, obviously. Um, the only unfortunate thing here, like with, with, with every
00:18:26.600
death penalty case, the unfortunate thing is that this drags out for years and years and years and years.
00:18:30.520
And we got to go through this whole ridiculous, uh, charade of keeping him alive and, and feeding
00:18:38.340
him and clothing him just so that we can eventually kill him. It's completely ridiculous. Uh, you might
00:18:43.300
as well back in the old days, you're convicted, you're sentenced to death. And then that day or at
00:18:50.700
dawn the next morning, you're marching up the gallows to be hung by your neck until death while a crowd
00:18:56.540
watches. And that's how we should do it now. That's that, that should be the, uh, the way that
00:19:01.880
we go about this. And in fact, it's even worse. It's, it's even worse than that because we're not
00:19:06.440
only housing and feeding these people on death row for years and years and years before eventually
00:19:12.220
killing them. But on top of that, we're actually spending more money on them because these are
00:19:17.840
people who have committed crimes, especially someone like Dylan Roof committed crimes. So heinous
00:19:23.480
that to release them into the general population would be just a death sentence in and of itself.
00:19:30.000
I wouldn't complain about that either, by the way, but we're not going to do that. And so we've got to
00:19:34.880
specially protect them and preserve their lives. Just think about how absurd it is. We have to make
00:19:40.000
this extra effort to preserve their lives and protect them just so that we can march them to the
00:19:48.060
gurney and kill them. It really doesn't make any sense. It's ridiculous. Now, so that's how I feel
00:19:53.700
about this as someone who, um, although I felt differently about the, about the death penalty
00:19:59.580
years ago, and I have kind of gone back and forth on this as I admit, but at this point I'm pretty
00:20:03.880
firmly pro death penalty. So that's, that's where I stand on, on Dylan Roof. That's a, that's an easy
00:20:08.080
one. But the interesting thing is that, you know, there are a lot of people in this country,
00:20:14.420
especially on the left who are, uh, very much opposed to the death penalty. At least they
00:20:20.220
claim that they think the death penalty should be abolished, that it's state sanctioned murder.
00:20:28.400
Now they're, they're opposed to in every case. And there's been, there've been many monstrous
00:20:33.420
people who have faced the death penalty and, um, have been defended by many people on the left,
00:20:41.440
including very prominent people, members of the squad and so forth have come out in defense
00:20:48.220
of absolute murderous monsters. And yet in this case, I have heard none of those voices. As far
00:20:58.560
as I know, I haven't heard any of those people on the left, especially the prominent ones come out
00:21:04.960
and say, no, no, no, this is wrong. Dylan Roof doesn't deserve the death penalty.
00:21:07.740
So they make an exception for him, which is interesting.
00:21:15.020
Why do they make the exception? Well, because for one thing, they, they just, they don't believe in
00:21:20.840
their own principles in any of their own principles enough to actually stand up and say, no, this man
00:21:26.720
who, who, who murdered nine, uh, black people at a church, you know, should, shouldn't, shouldn't be
00:21:32.460
killed. Um, so they don't, they don't believe in their own principles enough for that. But also I
00:21:41.160
think they look at a, at a crime like this and they just, they, they feel that no, this is someone
00:21:48.840
who, who can't exist on earth anymore. You've committed a crime so heinous that you, you don't
00:21:55.640
deserve to be defended. You don't deserve to live anymore. You have forfeited your right to live on this
00:22:00.520
earth. You have forfeited your right to be a member of human society. What you've done is so
00:22:09.340
heinous that we can't even simply segregate you and keep you in human society. We have to remove
00:22:14.860
you completely by your own actions. You have made that choice for yourself. You forced our hand.
00:22:21.620
I think they look at Dylan Roof and that's, that's what they think. And they're right.
00:22:24.700
The problem is they can't extend that to all of the other monsters on death row and they are all
00:22:33.420
monsters. You don't get there unless you are. So they could see that with Dylan Roof. They can't
00:22:41.000
see it with anybody else. A real disconnect there. This is from Fox. It says, uh, James Madison
00:22:47.220
university is under fire for pushing controversial rhetoric as part of its freshman orientation training
00:22:52.040
for student leaders. The PowerPoint presentation and accompanying video address topics like social
00:22:56.860
justice, identity, power, and privilege, and labeled any person who fits the parameters of white,
00:23:02.560
male, straight, and Christian as oppressors in a detailed chart. JMU college Republicans chairwoman
00:23:07.800
Juliana McGrath shared her frustration with Fox news saying the training at the Virginia university
00:23:12.540
that's meant to bring students together will ultimately be divisive. She said, quote, when you're
00:23:18.200
teaching about things like this, the goal is to try to bring people together and try to get people
00:23:21.620
to understand different life experiences. But by saying, because you're white, you're an oppressor
00:23:25.480
because you're straight, you're an oppressor because you're a male, you're an oppressor that
00:23:28.600
actually brings people farther apart. And it doesn't actually accomplish any of the goals of what I
00:23:33.200
feel like they were trying to do. According to McGrath, the most shocking inclusion in the
00:23:37.600
presentation was the implication that followers of the Christian faith specifically were deemed as
00:23:42.540
oppressors, even though all religious individuals, regardless of denomination, believe in the same
00:23:45.940
thing, a higher power. She said, quote, in our chapter of college Republicans, we actually have a very
00:23:50.440
diverse chapter and we have people of different races of different backgrounds and specifically
00:23:54.080
of different religious beliefs. And that's always been very welcome. I feel like no matter your
00:23:58.240
political beliefs, you always find some type of common ground. I think sometimes religion is the
00:24:02.340
common ground. So on and so forth. Okay. A lot of this, unfortunately, is unremarkable because we've
00:24:09.140
these, this is the kind of reeducation that we see in colleges across the country. Most universities at
00:24:17.380
this point, this is their primary function. This is a feature, not a bug. It's not like you send your
00:24:25.460
kids to college and then they just so happen to be brainwashed into leftist dogma. That's why the
00:24:31.820
universities exist at this point. That is their primary goal. So that makes this unremarkable, but,
00:24:39.560
but still important. But I'm really, I really zero in on what she said here. Um,
00:24:49.060
Juliana McGrath, she said, the goal is to try to bring people together and try to get people to
00:24:54.360
understand different life experiences. But when you do all of this, you're, you're, you're tearing
00:25:00.440
people apart and that doesn't accomplish any of the goals that you're, that you're trying to
00:25:05.500
accomplish. She said, well, no, Juliana, let me explain this to you. It is important that you
00:25:11.940
understand. I don't want to be accused of mansplaining here. Okay. I don't need that on
00:25:15.700
top of all the other crimes I've committed. Maybe that'll be next. Maybe Christy Noem tomorrow will
00:25:20.820
tweet about how I mansplained. So at this point, just dye your hair pink, cut it down, call me a
00:25:27.540
mansplainer. Why not go full feminist? Anyway, it is important to explain this, uh, to anyone who
00:25:34.320
doesn't understand. I think there are a lot of people on the right who still don't understand
00:25:37.060
this. Um, no, these, these, these, these kind of indoctrination seminars where they're saying that
00:25:44.240
white people and males and Christians are oppressors and evil and all that. This is not a
00:25:48.980
misguided, but well-intentioned attempt to bring people together and to make people understand each
00:25:55.120
other's life experiences. No, this is not something that's clumsy and we'll say, well, they're,
00:26:01.440
they're trying to accomplish something. They're just not accomplishing it. They just so happen to
00:26:05.080
be doing the opposite of what they're trying, trying to accomplish. No, they are accomplishing
00:26:08.760
their goal. 100%. The goal is not to bring anyone together. That is not the goal.
00:26:17.000
The division, the hostility, the suspicion that's engendered by these sorts of programs.
00:26:23.640
That is the point. That's why they're doing it. There is nothing well-intentioned about this at
00:26:31.760
all. They are trying to drive that wedge in between you, in between all of us and not one wedge, but a
00:26:41.840
million wedges dividing people into a million different categories and subcategories. Even one
00:26:48.800
single individual person is now divided in, is, is chopped into, into a thousand different pieces
00:26:54.340
and put into different compartments and different labels and everything. Everybody's warring against
00:26:58.100
each other. That is totally the point. It's why they're doing it. So when you say they're not
00:27:06.880
achieving what they want to achieve, yes, they are. They're doing a great job of accomplishing their
00:27:14.840
goals. They want to divide the American population. They, to, to inflame tribalism. That's part of the
00:27:24.260
point here. And also to, to tear down our history and all of the authorities of the past, you know,
00:27:37.600
to separate us from our own history. We, Western civilization is informed, shaped by Christian
00:27:47.580
values, by the Christian religion. And that's why, that's one of the main reasons why they hate it.
00:27:55.540
And that's why, if you notice, they focus on Christianity much more than they focus on something
00:28:01.320
like Islam. Because they are trying to destroy, eat away at, chop down the foundations of Western
00:28:11.760
civilization. That, that is the point. They want us to live fully immersed in modernity, severed from
00:28:24.160
all of the ties of the past, hating everybody that came before us, our ancestors, all of the people
00:28:32.520
who built this civilization that we now live in. They want us to hate all of them and hate all,
00:28:37.940
I hate our past, hate anybody connected with our past. They want to identify the villains of the past
00:28:45.440
in a very simplistic way. Well, if you're white, if you're a Christian, if you're a male,
00:28:49.700
those are all the villains of the past. Any, any of the, your historical heroes who you thought were
00:28:56.460
heroes? Well, if they're, if they were white, male, whatever, and they weren't heroes, they were,
00:28:59.480
they were oppressors. And their progeny to this day, still oppressors.
00:29:07.120
That is, again, the whole entire point. And it is crucially important for us to understand that.
00:29:14.080
All right, next, Nancy Pelosi yesterday talked about what we can do to prevent floods
00:29:22.820
We, when we talk about challenges that we have in our country, we have these fires in the West,
00:29:29.200
floods in Tennessee. President approved a major disaster declaration for Tennessee,
00:29:35.660
middle Tennessee region has had flooding and deaths in California. We have the river in the West,
00:29:41.920
we have the river and Dixie fires, which the president has declared major disaster for as well.
00:29:49.300
And so we have to understand how, again, many of us think if we take, if we can address the climate
00:29:56.520
crisis, we can deal in a better way to prevent some of this.
00:30:02.080
Yeah. So we want to pass legislation that's going to stop floods from happening and stop hurricanes and
00:30:10.300
fires. That's what they're, that's what they're calling for. This is, this is, we should be heaping
00:30:16.980
ridicule and scorn and contempt on this sort of thing. I'm afraid that we don't treat it as
00:30:24.800
in, in, in, you know, as absurd as it really is. We don't treat it like the absurdity that it actually
00:30:32.040
is. And part of it is that like so many other absurdities in modern culture, we're used to it by
00:30:38.540
now. We're used to hearing politicians, seeing them stand in front of cameras, talking about laws they
00:30:46.420
can pass to change the weather. And we hear it so often that we, it kind of goes right over our head.
00:30:54.800
But think about how insane that is. You think that, that some politicians sitting in the, in the,
00:31:04.240
in the Capitol can, you know, type out some legislation and then vote on it. And it's going
00:31:10.460
to change the weather. You think you're that powerful? Not only is this anti-scientific, which
00:31:18.420
it is, but it speaks to the incredible narcissism of these people. And I, and I believe that they
00:31:27.700
really believe it. They believe that they are gods, that they are more powerful than the sun itself,
00:31:37.000
which as we talked about yesterday is actually the thing, this enormous ball of gas, which you could
00:31:43.240
fit a million earths inside of it, burning 27 million degrees Fahrenheit at its core, 10,000 degrees
00:31:48.800
on the surface, gravitational force extending 12, 12 trillion miles into space. Like that is the
00:31:57.000
thing that determines the weather on this puny, tiny little planet is there's nothing you can do.
00:32:04.680
Nancy Pelosi, I'll tell you this right now, not a single thing you can do to make any significant
00:32:10.360
changes to it. And the earth's temperatures and its climate, it changes. Climate is meant
00:32:19.700
to change. So even the phrase climate change is redundant. That's what climates do. Of course
00:32:27.240
they change. And the earth, but the earth endures. The earth has endured super volcano eruptions.
00:32:36.300
The earth has endured, uh, asteroids, the size of entire states hitting the, the, the, the earth
00:32:43.960
or the size of cities. Anyway, I should say, um, the earth endures all of that
00:32:51.400
because we're that we are not that powerful. You're the SUV that you drive or the HVAC system
00:32:59.020
that you turn on. It's not quite as powerful as you want it to be. And the legislation that you're
00:33:03.840
right is also not as powerful as you want it to be. I hate to inform you. All right. This
00:33:10.100
is an interesting case from the BBC.com. It says Spencer Eldon, the man who was photographed
00:33:14.120
as a baby on the album cover for Nirvana's Nevermind is suing the band, alleging sexual
00:33:18.560
exploitation. The cover depicts Eldon as a four month old in a swimming pool. I mean, you've
00:33:24.580
seen this cover. It's an iconic cover. Uh, you got a four month old baby naked in a swimming
00:33:29.120
pool and he's grasping for a dollar bill that's dangled in front of him. The dollar bill was
00:33:33.120
superimposed into the, uh, picture after it was taken. Um, but now Eldon says that his parents
00:33:40.400
never signed a release authorizing the use of his image on the album. And he also alleges the nude
00:33:46.020
image constitutes child pornography. He said, quote, uh, or legal papers filed in California say the
00:33:52.540
images exposed Spencer's intimate body part and, uh, displayed Spencer's genitals from the time he was
00:33:58.140
an infant to the present day. Eldon's lawyer, Robert Lewis argues that the inclusion of the
00:34:03.040
dollar bill makes the minor seem like a sex worker. I hadn't seen that until I just read
00:34:09.440
this. The legal case also alleges that Nirvana had promised to cover Eldon's genitals with a
00:34:13.520
sticker, but the agreement was not upheld. Well, this is clearly, clearly absurd. Well,
00:34:18.400
this also means that every baby that's been in like a diaper advertisement, they can all sue
00:34:25.700
for, uh, based on child pornography. First of all, if you're going to sue anyone, then it would be
00:34:32.300
your parents. They're the ones who brought you for this album cover shoot and apparently threw you
00:34:39.660
into a pool. So I think they're the ones who I would be, uh, who I would take this up with. But if
00:34:45.360
you really want to know how absurd this is, this guy, Spencer Eldon, he has through the years on like
00:34:52.180
three or four different occasions has recreated that album cover, uh, to mark the anniversaries
00:34:59.180
of the album. So like the 10th anniversary, 15th, 20th, I think, I think all three of those he went
00:35:05.460
and he recreated, he was very happy about it. He's recreating this album cover that he now says was
00:35:11.100
child pornography and exploitation. But I, this, this is the world we live in. You might, you,
00:35:17.980
you see a chance in our litigious society. You see a chance to file a lawsuit, make some money.
00:35:23.020
Why not do it? And that's what's going on here. And finally from the daily wire, it says though
00:35:26.440
comedy central has been airing reruns of NBC's beloved long running sitcom, the office for years.
00:35:32.060
There's one episode you may not be able to find on the network going forward. And that is diversity
00:35:36.060
day. The episode is famous for its politically incorrect storyline, which features boss, Michael
00:35:39.760
Scott forcing the paper company staff to participate in a racially in a racial diversity seminar where he
00:35:45.220
speaks in an exaggerated Indian accent and reprises Chris Rock's notorious standup routine about
00:35:50.320
different kinds of black people. According to barstool sports, the channel, the cable channels
00:35:54.120
quietly omitted the episode from the rotation. Uh, comedy central has not admitted that they're doing
00:36:01.440
this, but if you watch the whole rotation of office reruns on comedy central, you're not going to find
00:36:09.980
that one. And this of course is no shock. This is, this is only a matter of time.
00:36:14.240
People who are fans of the office, like myself, at least I'm a fan of the office from, uh, the first
00:36:19.840
season until the middle of the fourth season. And I don't acknowledge any other episodes of the
00:36:24.720
office after that, because it fell off of a cliff, especially after Steve Carell left in season six.
00:36:29.440
Uh, but fans of the office, we have, have known for a long time that this is coming
00:36:34.040
all, all, all good comedy eventually will be canceled
00:36:42.680
because almost all comedy, almost all good comedy anyway
00:36:56.120
kind of point us to things that we're not supposed to talk
00:37:04.820
the sacred cows in, in, in culture. That, that is one of the functions of comedy and comedians.
00:37:10.220
That's the service they provide to their societies. And it's an important service,
00:37:14.260
but we can't have that anymore. So this is only a matter of time.
00:37:20.820
And of course the irony is that we all knew that these episodes were going to go away,
00:37:25.500
especially diversity day. I mean, for years, office fans have been saying this,
00:37:29.200
that they're going to start getting rid of these episodes. And that's going to be the first one to go
00:37:33.060
because it's all based around, uh, racial stereotypes and so on.
00:37:38.380
But the irony is that we're supposed to be, we're not laughing really at the racial stereotype.
00:37:43.460
You're supposed to be laughing at Michael Scott, who is this
00:37:46.060
oaf who doesn't understand social conventions and doesn't understand.
00:37:50.900
He's not even intentionally being politically incorrect. He just is because he's stupid.
00:37:57.760
So you're not even laughing at the racial stereotype. You're laughing at the person.
00:38:07.480
And even that you're not allowed to do because it acknowledges the stereotype to begin with.
00:38:14.520
And yeah, part of what makes it funny and kind of cringy
00:38:17.340
is that there's, there's some truth to most stereotypes.
00:38:24.960
That's going to go away. And this is, this is progress though.
00:38:27.200
When we start erasing these episodes, can't laugh about it. Can't joke about it.
00:38:41.020
Because you know that you've achieved, there's never going to be and was never going to be in any culture,
00:38:46.540
including our own absolute perfect utopian racial harmony.
00:38:51.380
That's, there's never going to be any kind of perfect utopian harmony in this life anyway.
00:38:57.420
But you know, you've gotten as close to that as you can possibly get
00:39:02.560
when you've got different groups of people who can joke about themselves and each other
00:39:12.840
That's how you know a group of friends are really close friends
00:39:15.860
when they can poke fun at themselves, but also poke fun at each other,
00:39:19.700
make fun of each other, even be kind of ruthless
00:39:25.340
That's how you know you're comfortable with somebody else.
00:39:30.060
And we could do that when it came to racial jokes,
00:39:32.520
even as recently as, you know, 12, 13 years ago.
00:39:39.160
And that's, that's a sign that we're going in the wrong direction.
00:39:47.580
I love how Gen Z are actually the ones saying pornography is ruining our lives,
00:39:51.680
while middle-aged men are saying it's our right to watch.
00:40:00.500
I'm sure they would find that the majority of people in Gen Z
00:40:03.580
have very permissive attitudes about pornography.
00:40:08.340
that right now, these sort of anti-porn movement
00:40:17.140
I don't even know if I qualify as a young person anyway.
00:40:45.460
they were probably exposed to it for the first time
00:40:52.240
And so when they talk about the dangers of pornography,
00:40:56.100
they're not talking in a theoretical academic sense.
00:41:05.080
This is the effect it's had on me and my friends.
00:41:07.120
I've lived in this culture and this environment.
00:41:27.180
the rights of pornographers and pimps and smut peddlers,
00:41:30.500
they didn't grow up in that kind of environment.
00:41:57.780
it's something akin to how you can starve a cat
00:42:04.140
but it also has almost zero nutritional value for them.
00:42:12.800
they'll continue to not seek out something fulfilling.
00:42:41.160
because there's certainly nothing fulfilling there.
00:42:52.040
you go to the harder drugs and everything else.
00:43:10.200
You're going to have your arguments and your strife,
