The Matt Walsh Show - Ep. 812 - The Most Far Reaching Censorship Campaign In American History

00:00:00.000 Today on the Matt Walsh Show, the Senate held a hearing with the Facebook whistleblower, so-called, yesterday,

00:00:04.840 setting the stage for what will be the most far-reaching censorship campaign in American history.

00:00:09.580 Also, an ESPN anchor has pulled off the air after criticizing vaccine mandates,

00:00:13.480 and Dave Chappelle has a new comedy special out.

00:00:15.580 The media insists that it is incendiary and bigoted, so you know it must be good.

00:00:20.120 And finally, Ray Spader Ibram X. Kendi preaches his version of the gospel message,

00:00:24.880 and it is as heretical as you might expect.

00:00:26.740 All of that and more today on the Matt Walsh Show.

00:00:30.000 We'll be right back.

00:01:00.000 It's the easiest way you can customize a sofa using premium materials and at a fraction of the cost of traditional stores.

00:01:05.980 You can pick your fabric, and it's spill, stain, and scratch-resistant.

00:01:10.440 You can pick the sofa color, color of the legs.

00:01:13.680 Everything, every aspect of it is customizable.

00:01:16.100 They've also got armshares and loveseats all the way up to an eight-seat sectional, so there's something for everyone.

00:01:21.020 Allform sofas are also delivered directly to your home with fast, free shipping.

00:01:23.800 In the past, if you wanted to order a sofa, you know, it could take weeks or even months to arrive,

00:01:27.920 and you would need someone to come and assemble it in your home.

00:01:30.600 But Allform takes just three to seven days to arrive in the mail, and you can assemble it yourself in just a few minutes.

00:01:34.160 It's that easy to do.

00:01:35.360 So you want to take advantage of this right now and get yourself an Allform sofa.

00:01:38.360 They look great.

00:01:39.340 They're extremely comfortable.

00:01:40.240 And Allform is offering 20% off all orders to our listeners right now at allform.com slash Walsh.

00:01:46.100 That's allform.com slash Walsh.

00:01:48.100 One thing we heard over and over again after the January 6th riots is that the U.S. Capitol is a sacred place

00:01:54.680 where the solemn duty of governing is performed.

00:01:58.000 January 6th was a desecration of this holy ground.

00:02:01.660 That's why the Capitol riot was so much worse than all of the BLM riots put together, 0.93

00:02:06.360 and so much worse than all of the tragedies of American history put together.

00:02:11.560 And, you know, because when it comes to the BLM riots,

00:02:13.300 BLM merely destroyed and incinerated small businesses and homes where people and where poor and middle-class people live, 1.00

00:02:20.000 and maybe a police station or two were thrown in there.

00:02:22.960 But that pales in comparison to breaking a few windows and overturning some desks inside the Capitol building

00:02:28.340 because the Capitol building is a hallowed temple.

00:02:31.940 It should be revered and venerated.

00:02:34.300 Now, I personally would have a problem with this attitude no matter who was in Congress.

00:02:38.980 There is nothing sacred about government.

00:02:40.740 There's nothing even all that special about it, frankly.

00:02:43.400 There's certainly nothing venerable or saintly about the people who work in government.

00:02:47.360 They're supposed to be public servants doing a job that we elect them to do.

00:02:50.940 That's all.

00:02:52.300 But all this talk about the blessed, sanctified ground of the Capitol becomes even more absurd

00:02:56.640 when you consider the many ways in which the people who work in the Capitol

00:03:01.000 happily make a mockery of it every single day.

00:03:04.300 If it were possible to desecrate it, then nobody could possibly desecrate it more than our elected representatives themselves.

00:03:11.740 They've turned Congress into nothing more than a stage upon which they can perform their elaborate puppet shows.

00:03:18.820 Case in point, yesterday, speaking of puppets, the so-called Facebook whistleblower,

00:03:23.540 Francis Haugen, was brought before a Senate committee to testify.

00:03:27.020 Now, as I've already revealed on this show over the last couple of days,

00:03:29.880 Haugen is a far-left activist with a history of donating to far-left politicians like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.

00:03:35.760 She's also being represented by a Democrat PR firm.

00:03:38.860 And she has an obvious agenda to push greater censorship of conservative content on social media.

00:03:43.840 She's also not a whistleblower.

00:03:45.660 She has revealed nothing new, nothing of value about Facebook.

00:03:48.840 She hasn't blown the whistle on anything.

00:03:50.740 All of this is nothing but a pageant, a theater performance,

00:03:55.560 with the goal of justifying a far-reaching crackdown on content that criticizes the Democrat regime.

00:04:01.020 The totally farcical nature of this whole whistleblower routine became immediately obvious

00:04:05.320 at the beginning of Haugen's opening statement.

00:04:08.220 Let's listen to that.

00:04:08.820 Yesterday, we saw Facebook get taken off the Internet.

00:04:12.800 I don't know why it went down, but I know that for more than five hours,

00:04:16.820 Facebook wasn't used to deepen divides, destabilize democracies,

00:04:21.400 and make young girls and women feel bad about their bodies.

00:04:25.260 I mean, make women feel bad about their bodies? 1.00

00:04:28.420 And we needed congressional testimony about that?

00:04:31.100 We're supposed to believe that the self-esteem problems of Internet-addicted women 1.00

00:04:37.180 justifies, at least partially, a nationally televised Senate hearing?

00:04:41.980 Now, listen, ladies, I'm sorry if you feel bad about yourselves when you use Instagram.

00:04:47.040 I think probably the best solution would be to stop using Instagram if that's the case.

00:04:53.140 If you're scrolling through Instagram and saying,

00:04:55.020 oh, this makes me feel so bad about myself,

00:04:58.400 six hours later you're still scrolling,

00:05:00.160 maybe connect the dots here, put the phone down.

00:05:04.020 As for your daughters having their self-image destroyed by social media, 0.98

00:05:08.200 I've already argued stridently many times that the only solution there

00:05:11.360 is to refrain from buying your child a smartphone in the first place.

00:05:15.740 So when you've got, you know, I'm just imagining this image of grown women 1.00

00:05:19.380 scrolling Instagram and feeling so bad about themselves,

00:05:23.340 sitting next to their daughters also scrolling Instagram,

00:05:26.660 and worrying, oh, is this making her feel bad about herself too?

00:05:30.160 Put your phones down.

00:05:32.200 Take her phone away from her. 0.70

00:05:35.020 And besides, if we're worried about websites that cause psychological damage to people,

00:05:38.660 especially kids,

00:05:39.660 then why aren't we hearing Senate testimony about the porn sites

00:05:43.020 that expose millions of elementary schoolers to hardcore smut every single day?

00:05:47.780 Okay, there are sites where middle schoolers can be exposed to rape porn and there is nothing standing in the way. 0.99

00:05:59.320 There's no kind of filter system put in place to stop that from happening.

00:06:04.800 Why are we talking about that?

00:06:08.200 Well, because all of this is, again, a farce.

00:06:10.380 And the body image nonsense is only a smokescreen.

00:06:12.960 It's a cover.

00:06:14.420 The real agenda is political, which became all the more clear during questioning,

00:06:18.360 especially with Senator Amy Klobuchar.

00:06:20.920 Let's listen to that.

00:06:21.500 We've seen the same kind of content in the political world.

00:06:26.600 You brought up other countries and what's been happening there.

00:06:29.240 On 60 Minutes, you said that Facebook implemented safeguards

00:06:32.420 to reduce misinformation ahead of the 2020 election,

00:06:36.040 but turned off those safeguards right after the election.

00:06:40.420 And you know that the insurrection occurred January 6th.

00:06:43.060 Do you think that Facebook turned off the safeguards

00:06:45.600 because they were costing the company money, because it was reducing profits?

00:06:51.180 Facebook has been emphasizing a false choice.

00:06:54.060 They've said the safeguards that were in place before the election implicated free speech.

00:06:59.480 The choices that were happening on the platform were really about how reactive and twitchy was the platform, right?

00:07:05.760 Like how viral was the platform?

00:07:07.980 And Facebook changed those safety defaults in the run-up to the election

00:07:12.180 because they knew they were dangerous.

00:07:14.200 And because they wanted that growth back,

00:07:16.360 they wanted the acceleration of the platform back after the election,

00:07:19.600 they returned to their original defaults.

00:07:22.560 Yes, we need safeguards to protect our democracy.

00:07:26.140 And by protect our democracy, they mean protect the vice grip hold

00:07:29.440 that the left has on our democracy, our system.

00:07:33.900 They mean protect the regime.

00:07:36.200 What we've seen just this week alone,

00:07:38.400 between this Facebook whistleblower burlesque

00:07:41.380 and the FBI going after parents who criticize school board members,

00:07:45.060 what we've seen here is a full court press panic by the ruling class

00:07:48.700 to shut down not only criticism, but all avenues for criticism.

00:07:54.280 And they feel morally justified in doing so because it's what's best for us. 1.00

00:07:58.980 We mere mortals are too stupid and incompetent 1.00

00:08:01.640 to arrive at our own conclusions or form our own opinions 1.00

00:08:04.620 for our own sake.

00:08:06.280 They must ensure that we adopt the conclusions and opinions

00:08:09.120 that they assign to us.

00:08:12.560 And that's why Haugen is being hailed as a courageous hero by the media.

00:08:16.080 In fact, CNN, in an interesting choice,

00:08:18.580 brought Monica Lewinsky on camera to sing Haugen's praises

00:08:21.940 and also to promote her new HBO documentary.

00:08:24.760 Let's listen to that.

00:08:26.220 I think that sort of more importantly,

00:08:28.380 what we've seen kind of from yesterday,

00:08:30.060 and I think it's worth mentioning that Frances Haugen in testifying

00:08:34.780 how brave she was because in part what our doc is looking at

00:08:38.560 is this online behavior that happens.

00:08:41.160 And women and people from marginalized communities

00:08:43.920 are torn apart way more online.

00:08:46.460 So to come forward as a whistleblower in that sense is very brave.

00:08:50.840 And I think that what she was also talking about

00:08:53.940 and really showcasing too with the algorithm

00:08:57.860 and the focus on the outrage,

00:09:01.620 you know, where the doc comes into all of this too

00:09:04.160 is that if you think about the stonings that happened way back when,

00:09:08.740 the stone that you're picking up and throwing

00:09:10.780 in the kind of firestorm of outrage

00:09:13.620 is usually and often is public humiliation and shame.

00:09:18.300 Well, incredibly brave, yes.

00:09:19.980 I mean, to come out in public

00:09:21.640 and say exactly what those in power want to hear

00:09:24.980 and to withstand their universal applause and acclaim

00:09:28.340 and to ensure that you'll get a million-dollar book deal

00:09:30.460 and end up on the speaking circuit

00:09:32.360 making six figures per speech,

00:09:34.260 probably end up with a movie and a miniseries,

00:09:36.740 all of that is quite brave.

00:09:39.000 Of course, the word brave here can be translated roughly as useful.

00:09:43.260 Any complimentary word from the media

00:09:45.440 always really means useful

00:09:47.900 because they only approve of actions that are useful to their agenda.

00:09:51.260 So if they're complimenting you,

00:09:52.420 whatever they're saying, what they really mean is useful.

00:09:55.700 As far as that goes,

00:09:57.440 this is all indeed quite useful to them

00:09:59.380 because they've set the stage now for a censorship campaign

00:10:02.940 unlike anything we've ever seen in this country.

00:10:06.280 They can't compete with the other side intellectually.

00:10:08.760 They can't win in a contest of ideas.

00:10:11.300 So their plan now is to cancel the contest

00:10:14.600 and proclaim themselves the winners

00:10:17.180 by not allowing anybody else into the arena to begin with.

00:10:22.620 Let's get now to our five headlines.

00:10:23.940 You know, fall is finally here

00:10:33.200 and what do you want to be doing in the fall?

00:10:34.520 You want to be out, you want to be going for a hike,

00:10:36.260 you want to be skipping through fields of flowers.

00:10:40.460 I guess the flowers are all dead now,

00:10:41.860 but forget about that.

00:10:43.320 Let's just talk about Rock Auto.

00:10:44.860 Rockauto.com, look, it's so much easier

00:10:46.620 than going into a store

00:10:47.740 and someone demanding quick answers

00:10:49.820 to the things that you need

00:10:50.780 or walking around looking for a specific part.

00:10:53.420 You don't find it.

00:10:54.020 They got to order it online.

00:10:55.420 Why do that?

00:10:56.200 Well, you can just go to rockauto.com.

00:11:39.720 and write Walsh in there.

00:11:40.960 How did you hear about us, Buck?

00:11:41.860 So they know that we sent you.

00:11:43.100 Well, it's good to be back in studio finally.

00:11:46.940 Personally, it is, I so much prefer being in a studio

00:11:51.400 than doing these shows like in a hotel room.

00:11:54.280 It can be, it's hard to get into show mode

00:11:55.940 when you're just sitting in a random hotel room.

00:11:58.500 I don't know how, but you know,

00:11:59.260 I did the show from my house for so long and from a car.

00:12:02.780 I don't know how I did that now.

00:12:04.800 Probably where the show sucked so much back then

00:12:06.580 and maybe even still now.

00:12:08.480 But anyway, I have moved back to Tennessee.

00:12:11.900 So I guess that's the headline here.

00:12:13.400 I mean, after long conversations with my wife,

00:12:16.740 we did finally make the decision.

00:12:19.620 And after being in Virginia for so long,

00:12:23.860 I mean, for dozens and dozens of hours,

00:12:27.720 we lived in Virginia, days even.

00:12:31.740 But finally, we made the decision to relocate

00:12:34.500 and come here to Tennessee.

00:12:36.360 And I think it's the right decision for our family.

00:12:39.240 My wife had arguments that she made. 1.00

00:12:41.080 Like, for example, I don't want to live in some woman's basement 1.00

00:12:44.080 in Loudoun County.

00:12:45.720 That was an interesting argument.

00:12:48.540 And so we decided to move back here.

00:12:50.500 But Virginia, you know, will,

00:12:53.080 even if I don't have a home in Virginia,

00:12:54.600 Virginia will have a home in my heart.

00:12:57.100 Forever and always.

00:12:59.220 And coming back home to Tennessee,

00:13:03.720 when I got home,

00:13:04.560 I did run into an interesting problem

00:13:06.820 that I wasn't quite expecting.

00:13:09.000 Because I got back to the house,

00:13:11.800 you know, I've been gone for like almost a week and a half. 1.00

00:13:15.060 And we got this damn dog, 0.99

00:13:16.560 which I've told you about. 1.00

00:13:17.860 And we got the dog like a day and a half

00:13:20.840 or two days before I left.

00:13:23.300 And so we got the dog.

00:13:24.040 I was home for two days.

00:13:25.060 And then I left for eight or nine days.

00:13:26.960 And I came home.

00:13:28.540 And I guess the dog forgot about me,

00:13:31.040 forgot about my existence.

00:13:32.640 And saw me as kind of an intruder in my own house.

00:13:35.640 So the dog had bonded to my family,

00:13:39.420 to the kids and my wife.

00:13:40.820 But that now I'm an intruder.

00:13:42.440 So I get home.

00:13:44.140 And he's like,

00:13:44.920 he wouldn't let me go near my own kids

00:13:46.380 without growling at me.

00:13:47.220 I picked up my daughter.

00:13:48.360 And he starts growling

00:13:49.280 because he thinks that I'm,

00:13:50.400 you know, a threat or something.

00:13:53.180 And it really is pretty outrageous.

00:13:55.260 And my older daughter comes up to me

00:13:57.020 at some point and says,

00:13:58.900 oh, well, daddy,

00:13:59.720 you have to,

00:14:00.400 you have to,

00:14:00.900 you know,

00:14:01.460 you have to make the dog like you. 0.57

00:14:02.660 Why don't you give him some treats? 0.97

00:14:04.600 You know,

00:14:04.740 you have to,

00:14:05.160 you have to make him like you.

00:14:06.820 And I said,

00:14:07.360 I have to make,

00:14:08.320 I'm sorry, what?

00:14:10.340 This,

00:14:10.780 this mangy mutt is in my house

00:14:12.580 and I have to win his affections?

00:14:14.760 That's not the way this works.

00:14:16.680 Okay.

00:14:17.640 You,

00:14:17.920 you have to earn my respect,

00:14:19.200 not the other way around.

00:14:22.580 I go for eight days.

00:14:23.580 I'm replaced.

00:14:24.000 I'm totally replaced by a dog.

00:14:26.040 That's what happens.

00:14:27.900 All right.

00:14:28.180 Let's,

00:14:28.580 let's start with this.

00:14:31.240 Sage Steele's an ESPN anchor.

00:14:32.820 She's the latest to end up 1.00

00:14:33.920 in front of the cancellation firing squad.

00:14:36.300 This is from Fox News.

00:14:37.100 It says ESPN SportsCenter host,

00:14:38.600 Sage Steele,

00:14:39.700 is being pulled off the air

00:14:40.860 following remarks she made

00:14:42.100 knocking her employer's vaccine mandate,

00:14:44.580 as well as comments made

00:14:46.160 about former President Obama.

00:14:48.240 I think we have,

00:14:48.740 we have the vaccine comments here.

00:14:50.780 Let's,

00:14:51.320 let's play those first.

00:14:52.040 This is on a podcast

00:14:52.720 and this is what she said

00:14:53.620 about vaccine mandates.

00:14:54.740 I think to man,

00:14:57.220 I respect everyone's decision.

00:14:58.960 I really do.

00:14:59.900 But to mandate it is sick

00:15:03.100 and it's scary to me in many ways.

00:15:07.220 But I have a job,

00:15:10.680 a job that I love

00:15:12.080 and frankly,

00:15:12.500 a job that I need.

00:15:14.000 But again,

00:15:14.500 I love it.

00:15:15.500 I just,

00:15:16.120 I'm not surprised it got to this point,

00:15:18.360 especially with Disney.

00:15:19.560 I mean,

00:15:20.080 a global company.

00:15:21.400 Yes.

00:15:22.900 So that's what she said.

00:15:23.780 Now,

00:15:24.020 the headlines are telling you

00:15:25.300 that Sage Steele

00:15:26.400 is,

00:15:27.180 came out as an anti-vaxxer.

00:15:28.980 She came out against vaccines.

00:15:31.120 None of that happened,

00:15:32.060 obviously.

00:15:35.080 This is the sleight of hand trick

00:15:36.540 that,

00:15:36.920 that of course,

00:15:37.460 we've,

00:15:37.720 we've seen from the left

00:15:38.560 on this issue.

00:15:39.400 Just like on every issue,

00:15:40.240 there's always some kind of trick

00:15:41.240 and,

00:15:41.980 and that's what it is on this.

00:15:43.440 If you're against vaccine mandates,

00:15:45.040 that means that you're,

00:15:45.760 that you're against vaccines in general.

00:15:47.040 and then about Barack Obama,

00:15:49.300 she says,

00:15:50.160 um,

00:15:51.460 talking about

00:15:52.440 filling out the U S census form.

00:15:55.340 And she expressed wanting to include

00:15:56.880 multiple races instead of just one.

00:15:58.320 She says,

00:15:58.700 if they make you choose a race,

00:16:00.420 um,

00:16:01.520 what are you going to put?

00:16:03.900 And I go both.

00:16:04.960 And she's like,

00:16:05.660 well,

00:16:05.800 you can't talk about filling out a census form.

00:16:08.860 She goes,

00:16:09.540 Barack Obama chose black and he's biracial.

00:16:11.680 And I'm like,

00:16:12.420 congratulations to the president.

00:16:13.620 That's his thing.

00:16:14.680 I think that's fascinating considering his black dad 0.55

00:16:16.840 was nowhere to be found.

00:16:17.860 And his white mom and grandma raised him,

00:16:19.460 but Hey,

00:16:20.160 you do you,

00:16:20.860 I'm going to do me.

00:16:23.280 Oh,

00:16:23.800 okay.

00:16:24.400 All right.

00:16:24.880 Well,

00:16:25.020 that's,

00:16:25.300 that's deeply controversial there.

00:16:28.340 Just pointing out a fact that Barack Obama was,

00:16:32.420 is biracial.

00:16:34.980 He was raised by his white mother and grandparents,

00:16:38.240 but didn't identify with that side of him at all.

00:16:42.460 Identified as black.

00:16:43.280 That's true.

00:16:43.680 Uh,

00:16:46.000 but that's why,

00:16:46.740 that's why she was pulled off the air.

00:16:48.000 Now ESPN has,

00:16:50.220 uh,

00:16:51.560 explaining its move.

00:16:52.700 It says at ESPN,

00:16:53.820 we embrace different points of view.

00:16:57.820 They,

00:16:58.240 they just pulled off one of their,

00:16:59.560 one of their star,

00:17:00.340 one of their main anchors for expressing her point of view.

00:17:03.780 They pulled her off air for that, 0.80

00:17:05.440 but they're only doing it because they embrace,

00:17:07.160 this is their,

00:17:07.700 this is their way of embracing,

00:17:09.100 uh,

00:17:10.140 different points of view.

00:17:10.720 We embrace different points of view dialogue and discussion make this place.

00:17:14.220 Great.

00:17:15.020 That said,

00:17:15.620 we expect that those points of view be expressed respectfully in a manner consistent with our values and in line with our internal policies.

00:17:22.960 We're having direct conversations with Sage and those conversations will remain private.

00:17:27.220 So you can have different points of view as long as those points of view are in keeping with our values,

00:17:37.800 with the left's values,

00:17:38.820 which,

00:17:41.020 which is another way of saying that you can't have different points of view at all.

00:17:45.000 So this is,

00:17:45.680 this is really important to understand.

00:17:47.700 She's,

00:17:47.860 she's pulled off the air.

00:17:49.080 And this isn't even,

00:17:51.400 there's no indication that she's a Republican or a conservative,

00:17:54.520 God forbid.

00:17:55.300 Uh,

00:17:56.940 there's not even any indication of that.

00:17:58.380 I have no idea what her politics are.

00:18:00.860 I would assume,

00:18:02.260 I don't know this.

00:18:03.020 I would assume that she at least leans heavily liberal only because I don't know how you would survive for this long at ESPN if you didn't. 0.99

00:18:12.460 Um,

00:18:13.120 but nothing that she said,

00:18:15.800 taking the Obama stuff out of it,

00:18:17.620 because that's,

00:18:18.060 that's nothing at all there with the vaccine.

00:18:20.880 And there's,

00:18:21.900 there's no reason why that has to be a conservative right wing talking point.

00:18:27.220 Though,

00:18:27.700 as a conservative right winger,

00:18:29.080 I'm happy to take it.

00:18:32.380 I mean,

00:18:32.880 if you want to insist

00:18:34.460 that,

00:18:36.220 um,

00:18:37.940 you know,

00:18:38.200 standing up in favor of choice when it comes to the drugs you put in your body,

00:18:41.840 that that's now a conservative point of view.

00:18:44.580 Fine.

00:18:45.080 I mean,

00:18:45.320 I'll,

00:18:45.540 I'll take that.

00:18:48.000 But even as a conservative,

00:18:49.240 I don't see any reason why it needs to be.

00:18:52.820 That's what we hear from the left anyway.

00:18:55.620 Next,

00:18:56.020 we have,

00:18:56.300 uh,

00:18:56.440 protesters showed up at the house of a school board member in Sarasota.

00:19:00.960 This is school board chairwoman,

00:19:02.940 Shirley Brown.

00:19:04.620 And,

00:19:05.040 uh,

00:19:05.920 protesters upset about what's happening in their school system,

00:19:08.600 upset about critical race theory and other things.

00:19:10.520 They showed up at her house.

00:19:12.040 And this was the,

00:19:13.260 this footage is making the rounds on,

00:19:14.860 on the internet yesterday.

00:19:15.600 People were,

00:19:16.280 um,

00:19:16.740 condemning it.

00:19:18.120 People on the left and the right saying,

00:19:19.840 this is,

00:19:20.380 this is beyond the pale.

00:19:22.100 We can't do this kind of crosses a line.

00:19:25.600 Let's first,

00:19:26.320 uh,

00:19:26.580 check out some of the footage here of these,

00:19:28.080 um,

00:19:29.060 of these dastardly dangerous protesters. 0.98

00:19:30.840 Let's watch this. 0.91

00:19:32.260 We see you in there,

00:19:33.440 Shirley.

00:19:33.860 We want you to come out for a redress of grievances.

00:19:38.380 We know the next step is from mass to vaccine.

00:19:41.380 And this will not happen.

00:19:44.740 This is the line we will die on.

00:19:47.360 That's right.

00:19:48.300 No to vaccines.

00:19:49.620 No to masks.

00:19:54.940 Shirley,

00:19:55.520 come on out,

00:19:56.240 Shirley.

00:19:57.680 We have some questions and we have some demands that need to be met.

00:20:02.040 Where's my list of stuff?

00:20:03.980 So we've got,

00:20:10.560 uh,

00:20:10.920 we've got,

00:20:11.420 it looks like maybe three guys there,

00:20:14.520 a couple of women,

00:20:14.960 and then some kids.

00:20:15.800 So a handful of people,

00:20:16.780 it's like mostly kids that are there and they're holding some signs and

00:20:20.600 they've got an American flag and then we have the bullhorn.

00:20:23.160 Now here,

00:20:23.700 here's what I'll say about this.

00:20:25.960 Uh,

00:20:26.420 this is obviously not how I choose to protest.

00:20:29.540 We,

00:20:30.000 we held a rally,

00:20:31.040 as you know,

00:20:33.160 in Loudoun County,

00:20:33.860 we did it in front of the school board,

00:20:36.260 meaning we weren't going to their homes.

00:20:39.960 Um,

00:20:40.440 that's not how I choose to protest.

00:20:41.780 It's not how I recommend protesting,

00:20:43.180 but if you don't like this strategy,

00:20:48.500 man,

00:20:51.020 especially if you're on the left and you don't,

00:20:52.220 you don't like this.

00:20:53.340 You don't like the idea of,

00:20:55.420 of,

00:20:55.960 for example,

00:20:57.000 angry parents showing up at the homes of school board members.

00:21:00.360 You only have yourself to blame.

00:21:03.400 This is entirely your fault.

00:21:05.260 Yes,

00:21:05.540 I'm doing a,

00:21:06.300 you started it thing.

00:21:07.240 That's exactly what I'm doing.

00:21:09.080 And that is a legitimate point to make here.

00:21:13.000 Just like,

00:21:14.060 you know,

00:21:14.420 we pretend that what about ism you're never allowed to say,

00:21:17.140 you're never allowed to frame an argument,

00:21:18.500 with what about,

00:21:19.240 well,

00:21:19.380 what about this?

00:21:20.380 Of course you can.

00:21:22.660 If someone is criticizing something that they themselves do,

00:21:27.040 then it is perfectly valid for me to say,

00:21:29.420 what about the fact that you do it?

00:21:33.940 Just like if they're criticizing something,

00:21:36.800 a method,

00:21:37.880 a strategy that they themselves have been employing and supporting and defending for years,

00:21:44.180 it's perfectly valid for me to say,

00:21:47.040 you started this.

00:21:48.500 This is on you.

00:21:52.860 Because what we're finding out for a long time,

00:21:56.100 I mean,

00:21:56.280 the left has been doing this exact thing for years and years.

00:22:02.780 And it's not,

00:22:03.580 don't say they're,

00:22:04.840 they only,

00:22:05.120 oh,

00:22:05.400 they only choose the most powerful people to do.

00:22:08.400 No,

00:22:08.620 it's not true.

00:22:10.620 I mean,

00:22:10.840 they go after politicians at their homes.

00:22:12.500 They go after media personalities at their homes.

00:22:19.520 They go into neighborhoods where there isn't even anyone in particular there who they have a grievance against.

00:22:27.280 Except they just hate everybody in the neighborhood because they assume they're all white middle class people.

00:22:33.140 They'll go into a white middle upper class neighborhood with bullhorns in the middle of the night. 0.53

00:22:36.540 And harass everybody for no particular reason.

00:22:42.320 They'll do that to diners at a restaurant. 1.00

00:22:44.740 We've seen so many videos like that.

00:22:46.500 BLM,

00:22:47.100 Antifa showing up,

00:22:49.060 harassing diners, 0.97

00:22:50.060 just sitting at a restaurant.

00:22:51.160 Even when,

00:22:53.500 again,

00:22:53.680 there's no one there in particular they have a special grievance against.

00:22:58.260 Certainly nobody in any position of power.

00:23:02.060 So they've been pulling this move for years and years.

00:23:06.620 And the assumption has been,

00:23:08.480 and they've gotten used to this,

00:23:09.440 they've gotten comfortable with it.

00:23:12.140 Because the assumption has been that,

00:23:13.520 that,

00:23:13.880 hey,

00:23:14.020 we're,

00:23:14.460 we can do this kind of stuff.

00:23:16.040 We're allowed to do this.

00:23:18.280 You can't.

00:23:21.160 And for a long time,

00:23:22.820 for the most part,

00:23:24.300 the right has kind of tacitly accepted that.

00:23:27.680 And said,

00:23:28.200 okay,

00:23:28.520 all right,

00:23:29.000 fine.

00:23:30.660 We'll,

00:23:30.840 we'll leave all that to you.

00:23:31.900 You guys can do that,

00:23:32.700 but we,

00:23:32.940 we would never cross that line.

00:23:36.040 Well,

00:23:36.440 those days are over now.

00:23:38.800 There are a lot of people on the right saying,

00:23:40.000 you know what?

00:23:40.400 If you're going to do this,

00:23:41.160 we're going to do it too.

00:23:43.180 We're not going to respect some code of decorum that you aren't respecting.

00:23:51.160 We're,

00:23:51.600 we're,

00:23:51.660 we're not going to,

00:23:52.360 to artificially limit ourselves,

00:23:54.000 stand behind this imaginary line while you run around and do whatever you want.

00:24:03.340 Okay.

00:24:03.780 We're not going to play a game with you where you've rigged the rules ahead of time to give yourself every advantage.

00:24:11.520 And we're not going to respect those rules.

00:24:13.500 We're not going to do that.

00:24:19.020 That's what a lot of people on the right are saying.

00:24:20.840 And,

00:24:21.060 um,

00:24:21.580 again,

00:24:21.840 if you don't like it and you're on the left,

00:24:25.080 it is your fault. 0.61

00:24:26.620 One hundred percent,

00:24:28.220 a hundred percent,

00:24:28.720 your fault.

00:24:30.280 You brought it on yourself.

00:24:34.160 You know,

00:24:34.640 when,

00:24:34.980 when the left started doing this kind of thing,

00:24:36.660 uh,

00:24:39.220 I mean,

00:24:39.420 they've always been doing it,

00:24:40.320 but when,

00:24:40.560 when it became,

00:24:41.140 you know,

00:24:41.720 more,

00:24:42.060 a much more prominent strategy,

00:24:43.580 how many people on the left and media,

00:24:46.420 how many,

00:24:48.280 how many of them came out and said,

00:24:49.280 no,

00:24:49.420 no,

00:24:49.520 no,

00:24:49.600 this is,

00:24:49.980 this is over the line.

00:24:50.600 We can't do this.

00:24:52.700 Almost none.

00:24:55.520 Even when they're burning down buildings and looting and looting,

00:24:58.900 you know,

00:24:59.060 still almost no one condemning it.

00:25:02.060 And even the people who do condemn it,

00:25:03.500 they always condemn it.

00:25:04.220 They always,

00:25:04.540 they always couch their criticisms.

00:25:07.320 They're very gentle criticisms by saying,

00:25:09.180 well,

00:25:09.260 I understand why these people,

00:25:10.840 you know,

00:25:11.060 I understand what they're upset about.

00:25:12.720 They feel powerless.

00:25:13.920 They don't know what else to do.

00:25:15.440 Blah,

00:25:15.640 blah,

00:25:15.840 blah.

00:25:18.780 This is all on you.

00:25:20.020 All right.

00:25:21.580 From,

00:25:21.900 uh,

00:25:22.300 Axios,

00:25:22.820 it says a trillion dollar platinum coin could be minted within hours of the treasury secretary's decision to do some, do so, uh, according to the former director of the United States.

00:25:31.640 Mint congressional solutions to the debt ceiling problem could take weeks to implement, especially if the reconciliation, reconciliation process is used and time is running out.

00:25:39.880 In case of emergency,

00:25:41.440 a trillion dollar coin could be deployed to bridge any gap between the money running out and the debt ceiling being used.

00:25:48.740 Um,

00:25:49.360 so that's the idea.

00:25:51.760 Now we,

00:25:52.260 we,

00:25:52.400 we hear about this mint the coin.

00:25:54.720 And if you're,

00:25:55.080 if you're on Twitter,

00:25:55.580 you might,

00:25:55.840 or social media,

00:25:56.420 you might see the hashtag mint the coin.

00:25:58.980 Uh,

00:25:59.420 and that's,

00:25:59.800 that's what they're talking about.

00:26:01.640 To solve the,

00:26:03.020 uh,

00:26:03.200 the,

00:26:03.400 the,

00:26:03.760 the debt problem,

00:26:05.060 just print a coin that says a trillion dollars.

00:26:08.320 Hey,

00:26:08.440 look at that.

00:26:08.680 We got a trillion dollars now.

00:26:12.140 Now I'm,

00:26:13.020 as you know,

00:26:13.900 I'm no economic expert whatsoever.

00:26:16.320 I'm no economist myself.

00:26:19.400 Intuitively,

00:26:20.020 this just seems

00:26:21.500 totally absurd.

00:26:23.860 And also like,

00:26:26.320 I doubt it will actually happen,

00:26:27.920 but if it does,

00:26:28.480 that there would be significant consequences to it and ramifications.

00:26:32.700 I think,

00:26:33.220 I think in a,

00:26:33.760 in a way kind of philosophically,

00:26:36.440 um,

00:26:37.120 the most serious ramification to something like this,

00:26:40.380 the treasury,

00:26:40.980 just minting a trillion dollar coin,

00:26:44.380 you know,

00:26:44.600 take a coin and say,

00:26:46.780 this is our magic coin.

00:26:47.740 It's worth a trillion.

00:26:48.400 And if you're going to do that,

00:26:49.180 why only a trillion?

00:26:50.080 Why not two trillion?

00:26:52.320 Why not 10 trillion?

00:26:53.160 I mean,

00:26:53.340 there's just like no limit,

00:26:55.180 especially when we're dealing with figures like a trillion.

00:26:57.480 Um,

00:26:59.280 these cosmic,

00:27:01.000 these astronomical cosmic sized figures.

00:27:04.460 There's no limit.

00:27:06.460 Why not print a gazillion dollar coin?

00:27:11.580 But when you,

00:27:12.600 when you hear about plans like this,

00:27:14.460 I think what,

00:27:15.980 one of the biggest problems is it's,

00:27:18.300 it kind of breaks.

00:27:19.360 It's this break the fourth wall type of moment.

00:27:23.660 Because our entire economic system

00:27:26.240 is built on this fiat currency,

00:27:28.840 this money.

00:27:29.320 That's sort of a,

00:27:30.120 it's a,

00:27:30.420 it's a fiction.

00:27:31.400 It's a story that we tell ourselves.

00:27:34.360 It has no real concrete value.

00:27:37.980 And we all kind of agree that we're going to pretend that this stuff has value

00:27:42.580 when it really,

00:27:43.040 it doesn't,

00:27:43.840 it doesn't have any actual inherent value.

00:27:46.960 We've,

00:27:47.120 we've agreed to pretend.

00:27:50.160 So the money in our form of currency,

00:27:52.120 it is,

00:27:52.680 like I said,

00:27:53.140 it's a,

00:27:53.400 it's a story that we've,

00:27:54.800 that we're all telling each other.

00:27:55.780 And we've all agreed to take,

00:27:58.620 take part in this,

00:27:59.840 this pageant.

00:28:01.920 And when you do something like this,

00:28:03.460 I think it kind of breaks the fourth wall.

00:28:05.560 And it reminds everyone that,

00:28:07.040 oh,

00:28:07.080 this is all fictional.

00:28:10.880 I can't,

00:28:11.440 I can't spell out exactly what the consequences are for that,

00:28:14.060 but they don't seem very good.

00:28:18.060 Same for this treasury secretary,

00:28:19.900 Janet Yellen,

00:28:20.900 you know,

00:28:21.340 she's been pushing this idea,

00:28:22.440 just like the,

00:28:22.800 the Obama administration,

00:28:24.040 the Biden administration,

00:28:26.400 Freudian slip there,

00:28:27.240 one in the same.

00:28:27.980 The Biden administration has been pushing this plan to have the IRS monitor

00:28:34.760 almost everybody's bank accounts.

00:28:37.300 Any bank account with $600 in it,

00:28:39.800 or a bank account that has had $600 worth of transactions over the course of a year,

00:28:44.320 which is most bank accounts.

00:28:46.240 So like every bank account,

00:28:47.680 except for the bank account that maybe you're,

00:28:49.460 you know,

00:28:49.700 17 year old kid who works at the McDonald's has everybody else.

00:28:53.780 They want to monitor everyone's bank accounts,

00:28:55.440 which means that they're putting us all under a permanent audit.

00:29:00.700 And here she is on CNBC,

00:29:04.260 Janet Yellen,

00:29:04.840 treasury secretary,

00:29:05.900 explaining why this is so necessary to do.

00:29:09.340 There's an enormous tax gap in the United States estimated at $7 trillion over the next 10 years in terms of a shortfall of tax collections to what we believe are owed.

00:29:23.120 And that that's not coming from people failing to report wage income or dividend income where there's good information.

00:29:31.760 It comes from places where the information on income is opaque and can be hidden.

00:29:40.560 How old is this?

00:29:41.940 What is she?

00:29:43.760 She's got to be in her late 70s,

00:29:45.800 early 80s.

00:29:48.000 The entire government,

00:29:49.700 this is not really the point,

00:29:50.580 but every time I see one of these people on TV,

00:29:53.800 our entire government is being run by people who are 80 plus.

00:29:57.540 It's,

00:29:57.940 it's insane what we're doing.

00:30:00.800 But she says that it's,

00:30:02.800 what's happening with the money?

00:30:04.480 It's opaque.

00:30:05.100 It's hard to track.

00:30:07.000 Well,

00:30:07.200 yeah,

00:30:07.420 it's supposed to be.

00:30:09.160 That's called privacy.

00:30:10.320 That's called economic freedom.

00:30:14.480 What this,

00:30:15.680 this thing that they're pushing is,

00:30:17.460 is not getting a lot of attention,

00:30:18.880 even from the right,

00:30:19.780 but they're talking about permanently erasing economic freedom out the window.

00:30:24.380 It's gone.

00:30:25.760 This isn't,

00:30:26.140 this isn't,

00:30:26.600 this isn't simply an attack on our financial freedom and on our privacy.

00:30:30.440 It is the end of it.

00:30:33.660 Again,

00:30:34.140 it is effectively a permanent audit of,

00:30:37.500 by the IRS of all of us permanently all the time.

00:30:40.960 where they have direct access to your bank accounts.

00:30:45.940 Now it's true that even right now,

00:30:48.120 without any kind of policy or law like this in place,

00:30:51.260 the IRS can gain access to your bank accounts.

00:30:55.320 Um,

00:30:55.900 but there's a process they have to follow on an individual basis to do that.

00:31:00.940 At least.

00:31:01.780 Here,

00:31:04.100 we're,

00:31:04.360 we're,

00:31:04.540 we're throwing that out.

00:31:08.120 And,

00:31:08.560 and somehow this is a,

00:31:09.840 we've gotten very little attention.

00:31:11.940 I think part of that is because the assaults on our,

00:31:14.900 on our basic fundamental liberties from the Biden administration are coming from 50,

00:31:19.340 50 different angles.

00:31:20.420 And it's hard to focus on one thing at a time.

00:31:25.160 You know,

00:31:25.620 it's like playing one against 50 and dodge ball.

00:31:27.960 And you've got all these balls flying at you at one,

00:31:29.660 you know, 0.89

00:31:30.080 at the same time.

00:31:31.860 You try to dodge away from one,

00:31:33.320 you end up getting hit by another.

00:31:34.540 Uh,

00:31:34.820 so that's part of the reason.

00:31:38.160 Also,

00:31:38.520 because the tyrants,

00:31:39.560 like you listen to Janet Yellen,

00:31:41.660 um,

00:31:43.380 they,

00:31:43.740 they aren't like tyrants in movies or in,

00:31:47.420 in,

00:31:47.900 you know,

00:31:48.180 the supervillains in,

00:31:49.140 in comic books.

00:31:50.420 They kind of bore you to death.

00:31:55.000 I,

00:31:55.440 I listened to Janet Yellen for 17 seconds.

00:31:57.640 I almost fell asleep.

00:32:00.120 But that's,

00:32:00.860 that's how actual tyrants operate.

00:32:03.400 They're not going to get on TV cackling maniacally.

00:32:06.720 Well,

00:32:06.840 they will if it come out.

00:32:07.680 Harris will,

00:32:08.100 but most of them won't.

00:32:11.100 They were like rubbing their hands together and talking about their evil plot to take over the world.

00:32:16.060 That's not really the way it works.

00:32:17.280 These are just like boring,

00:32:20.660 dull people who come up with these horrific, 0.97

00:32:25.840 tyrannical ideas and they propose them and they, 0.56

00:32:28.260 they,

00:32:28.560 uh,

00:32:28.940 defend them in this really sanitized way,

00:32:34.720 heavy and euphemisms.

00:32:35.820 And it can kind of lull you to sleep.

00:32:38.880 And that's part of the strategy here.

00:32:41.660 All right.

00:32:42.340 Uh,

00:32:43.500 Dave Chappelle has a new comedy special out and I haven't seen it yet.

00:32:47.120 I guess it just came out yesterday or the day before,

00:32:49.020 but I already know that I'm going to like it based on the fact that the media is having a hissy fit about it.

00:32:54.140 They're condemning it as bigoted,

00:32:56.220 uh,

00:32:56.480 incendiary,

00:32:57.460 all these things,

00:32:58.160 reckless,

00:32:59.000 dangerous.

00:32:59.580 They're saying,

00:32:59.800 they're saying all of the things that you should certainly want these kinds of people to say.

00:33:04.380 If you're a standup comedian and you've just,

00:33:06.720 you know,

00:33:07.060 released a standup special.

00:33:08.840 Uh,

00:33:09.260 so he,

00:33:09.820 he talks about,

00:33:10.720 uh,

00:33:12.220 transgenderism,

00:33:13.200 which is a theme that he's returned to in,

00:33:16.120 in several of his most recent comedy specials.

00:33:18.200 At one point he says that gender is a fact and he makes a point that,

00:33:21.800 um,

00:33:22.000 only women can have babies. 1.00

00:33:23.840 And he's right about that.

00:33:24.980 Now,

00:33:25.240 if I want to split hairs here and it's not really splitting hairs,

00:33:27.180 but it is important to say,

00:33:28.020 uh,

00:33:28.580 there's no,

00:33:29.240 what you mean is biological sex is a fact.

00:33:31.760 Gender is actually a fiction that, 1.00

00:33:34.540 uh,

00:33:34.840 that,

00:33:35.080 that gender theory proponents and members of the gender cult have invented.

00:33:39.820 Um,

00:33:40.480 but I get what he's saying.

00:33:42.140 And that's the basic point that he's making.

00:33:43.480 Also,

00:33:43.820 he talks about the rapper,

00:33:45.160 uh,

00:33:45.640 DaBaby who got into a lot of trouble recently when he,

00:33:50.560 uh,

00:33:51.260 made some comments about gay people,

00:33:53.260 some anti-gay comments,

00:33:55.700 uh,

00:33:56.080 during a,

00:33:56.860 during a concert.

00:33:58.700 And people got very upset about that.

00:34:01.060 And you may remember,

00:34:02.020 I talked about this on my show,

00:34:04.540 how DaBaby,

00:34:05.740 uh,

00:34:06.440 was being criticized for these comments he made about gay people.

00:34:09.820 Meanwhile, 0.98

00:34:10.380 you listen to any of his songs and he's openly promoting and encouraging people to kill each other,

00:34:16.920 deal drugs,

00:34:17.480 all that kind of stuff, 1.00

00:34:18.840 abuse women. 1.00

00:34:20.640 None of that gets him in trouble, 0.99

00:34:22.260 but the gay comments do.

00:34:25.420 Dave Chappelle makes kind of that point.

00:34:27.920 Only he,

00:34:28.560 he actually,

00:34:29.140 uh,

00:34:29.440 brings something up about DaBaby that I didn't even know.

00:34:31.220 Let's,

00:34:31.440 let's listen to this.

00:34:32.140 A lot of the LBGTQ community doesn't know DaBaby's history.

00:34:37.120 He's a wild guy. 0.98

00:34:39.300 He once shot a n***, 1.00

00:34:41.060 and killed him, 1.00

00:34:44.180 in Walmart. 0.65

00:34:46.560 Oh,

00:34:47.040 this is true.

00:34:47.680 Google it. 0.99

00:34:48.120 DaBaby shot and killed a n*** in Walmart, 1.00

00:34:50.740 in North Carolina. 0.99

00:34:51.360 You know,

00:34:52.480 nothing bad happened to his career.

00:35:00.000 Do you see where I'm going with this?

00:35:04.860 In our country, 1.00

00:35:06.040 you can shoot and kill a n***, 1.00

00:35:07.740 but you better not hurt a gay person's feelings. 1.00

00:35:10.780 So, 0.87

00:35:14.620 so he actually,

00:35:15.360 he actually killed a guy.

00:35:16.480 I looked,

00:35:16.920 I did look that up.

00:35:17.660 I did Google it.

00:35:19.060 Per,

00:35:19.460 uh,

00:35:19.740 Dave Chappelle's instructions.

00:35:20.760 And it's true. 0.56

00:35:21.560 He killed a guy in Walmart.

00:35:25.740 Of all places.

00:35:26.640 And look,

00:35:26.920 if you cannot be safe in a Walmart,

00:35:28.200 then where can you be safe?

00:35:30.920 And,

00:35:31.320 uh,

00:35:31.500 you know,

00:35:31.740 he survived that fine.

00:35:33.800 In terms of,

00:35:34.600 uh,

00:35:34.740 public relations.

00:35:36.160 That was no PR crisis.

00:35:39.340 But he talks about gay people, 0.91

00:35:40.420 and that's a problem. 0.96

00:35:41.920 Now,

00:35:43.780 Chappelle has been accused,

00:35:44.880 just like when he makes comments about gender.

00:35:47.140 And,

00:35:47.420 and in all of his previous standup specials,

00:35:50.000 the left's gotten upset about.

00:35:51.960 They always accuse him and are accusing him again of,

00:35:54.420 uh,

00:35:54.700 of punching down.

00:35:56.540 Right.

00:35:57.000 He's this,

00:35:57.660 he's this wealthy privileged guy talking about the LGBT community.

00:36:02.060 This is,

00:36:02.560 this is him punching down and comedians should never punch down.

00:36:06.600 Well,

00:36:07.020 first answer to that is that,

00:36:08.480 um,

00:36:08.600 actually comedians should be there.

00:36:10.180 Their first goal is to be funny.

00:36:12.500 And so they should just be punching wherever is the funniest to punch.

00:36:16.100 Okay.

00:36:17.140 So there's punching up,

00:36:18.260 punching down.

00:36:18.780 As long as it's funny,

00:36:19.900 you've done your job as a comedian,

00:36:21.700 but also this is punching up.

00:36:26.160 This is speaking truth to power.

00:36:31.660 Going after the LGBT community, 1.00

00:36:33.460 that is punching up.

00:36:34.640 because when it,

00:36:37.600 when it comes to cultural power,

00:36:39.520 they have all of it.

00:36:45.620 They,

00:36:46.240 they are the,

00:36:46.820 the unquestioned,

00:36:48.200 untouchable authorities in,

00:36:50.120 in our culture.

00:36:50.900 the LGBT community is the,

00:36:53.740 is the,

00:36:54.220 the sacred cow.

00:36:56.880 Now you can't criticize.

00:36:58.340 You can't say anything about,

00:36:59.620 you can't make jokes about them.

00:37:01.800 You make jokes about anybody else.

00:37:03.560 Almost.

00:37:04.320 And that also depends on where you fall in the intersectional scale.

00:37:07.900 Dave Chappelle,

00:37:08.380 as a black man,

00:37:09.420 according to the rules of the left, 0.90

00:37:11.640 he can make jokes about almost anyone else,

00:37:13.880 but not LGBT because they're higher up on the victim ladder than he is. 0.95

00:37:20.680 And since victimhood is power,

00:37:22.680 you know,

00:37:22.920 faux victimhood is power or formative victimhood is power.

00:37:28.280 That makes the LGBT lobby the most powerful in the country.

00:37:34.000 So that,

00:37:34.580 that is,

00:37:34.960 that is speaking truth to power.

00:37:36.100 That is,

00:37:36.560 that is an example of punching up.

00:37:41.960 Not that again,

00:37:42.740 it really matters.

00:37:44.180 When it comes to a comedian,

00:37:45.520 as long as they're being funny.

00:37:48.500 And that's a funny joke.

00:37:51.520 That's not really a joke.

00:37:52.500 And I did say that first.

00:37:53.600 So I'm not going to accuse Dave Chappelle of listening to my podcast and

00:37:57.520 taking my material,

00:37:58.740 but Hey,

00:37:59.000 you draw your own conclusions.

00:38:00.460 All right.

00:38:00.940 Finally,

00:38:01.200 this is a representative Chris Rabb,

00:38:03.480 who is a legislator from Pennsylvania.

00:38:07.140 And he tweeted this out a couple of days ago.

00:38:09.560 He said,

00:38:10.080 I'll be introducing a bill inspired by representative Kelly Cassidy that

00:38:13.800 require requires all inseminators to undergo vasectomies within six,

00:38:17.820 six weeks of having their third child or 40th birthday,

00:38:21.580 whichever comes first.

00:38:24.320 Additionally,

00:38:25.360 my forthcoming bill will codify the definition of wrongful conception to

00:38:29.540 include when a person has demonstrated negligence toward preventing

00:38:32.120 conception during intercourse.

00:38:33.980 This legislation will allow Pennsylvanians to take a civil action against

00:38:38.160 inseminators for unwanted pregnancies who wrongfully conceive a child with

00:38:41.740 them.

00:38:42.460 Last,

00:38:42.780 this bill will empower Pennsylvanians to enforce this perspective law by

00:38:46.320 offering a $10,000 reward for reporting the proper authorities,

00:38:49.540 those scoff laws who have not complied with the statute within the allotted

00:38:52.520 timeframe.

00:38:53.080 Okay.

00:38:53.220 So the main headline,

00:38:55.740 if there is one here is that he wants,

00:38:57.180 he's going to introduce a bill that would require all men in seminators,

00:39:03.820 as he calls them,

00:39:04.840 to get a vasectomy after they have three kids or after they reach their 40th

00:39:11.440 birthday,

00:39:11.780 it's too late to have kids.

00:39:13.540 Now this is obviously a publicity stunt,

00:39:16.060 clearly.

00:39:17.600 And he's trying to make some kind of point about,

00:39:21.740 about pro-life laws.

00:39:24.580 That's,

00:39:24.900 that's the idea.

00:39:27.000 But what point is he actually making? 1.00

00:39:30.340 The point is that he's a miserable scumbag. 1.00

00:39:32.600 I guess that's the point. 1.00

00:39:33.680 I mean,

00:39:33.960 if that's what the point he's trying to make,

00:39:35.560 then he certainly has made it.

00:39:38.540 In order to what own the right,

00:39:40.480 he's endorsed,

00:39:41.560 you know,

00:39:42.740 the Chinese communist policies,

00:39:45.200 the,

00:39:45.600 instead of the one child policy,

00:39:46.760 we're doing a three child policy.

00:39:49.360 That's how he's owning us.

00:39:52.380 And the interesting thing is that what you have here with this bill,

00:39:56.540 he's actually undermined his own case because this is a great example of what an attack on reproductive rights would actually look like.

00:40:09.500 Not that as it stands right now,

00:40:10.940 this has any chance of becoming a law in Pennsylvania,

00:40:12.620 but this is what an attack on reproductive rights actually looks like.

00:40:18.700 Where you are telling you,

00:40:20.180 in this case,

00:40:20.700 you would be telling men that they're not allowed to reproduce anymore beyond a certain,

00:40:26.220 you're setting a threshold and saying they can't reproduce beyond that threshold.

00:40:29.440 That's what an attack on reproductive rights looks like. 1.00

00:40:34.620 When you are trying to prevent or control reproduction itself,

00:40:40.440 compare that to pro-life laws,

00:40:44.040 and you see something entirely different.

00:40:48.040 Where women are certainly not being prevented from reproducing, 1.00

00:40:50.980 they're not being forced to reproduce,

00:40:52.400 there are no controls being put on reproduction whatsoever.

00:40:58.440 All of the laws are governing what happens to the offspring that have already been reproduced.

00:41:07.240 A point that I've made many times,

00:41:09.420 we'll continue to make,

00:41:10.840 but here we find an interesting contrast that this guy has provided to us.

00:41:15.080 In an effort to criticize pro-life policies,

00:41:21.000 he's actually demonstrated why his criticisms of those policies are not valid.

00:41:25.100 Great.

00:41:25.640 Good job.

00:41:26.480 Let's get now to reading the comments.

00:41:28.620 Who's rocking polka dot and flannel shirts without shame?

00:41:34.040 Do you know their name?

00:41:37.520 They're the sweet baby gang.

00:41:39.520 G-Max says,

00:41:43.620 Why can't politicians speak with the blunt truth Matt Walsh uses?

00:41:47.580 I think lots of people long to hear it.

00:41:50.420 The main reason why politicians don't speak blunt truth,

00:41:55.980 as you point out,

00:41:57.220 I think most people would say, 1.00

00:41:59.560 oh, because they're cowards. 0.99

00:42:01.660 And certainly a lot of politicians are. 0.99

00:42:04.000 But even more than that,

00:42:05.500 the bigger problem is that

00:42:07.280 they just don't,

00:42:08.700 they don't care.

00:42:11.020 They don't really believe anything.

00:42:13.480 They don't believe the things they pretend to believe.

00:42:15.320 This is the problem with most Republicans.

00:42:18.320 Even I kind of make the mistake of talking about Republicans 1.00

00:42:21.240 as if their main problem is that they're a bunch of cowards, 1.00

00:42:23.820 and many of them are, again. 0.99

00:42:26.180 But before we even get to the cowardice,

00:42:29.020 the issue before that one

00:42:31.520 is that many, most of them

00:42:33.440 don't really care about any of these issues.

00:42:37.280 Garrett says,

00:42:40.620 I will ask your beardness one question.

00:42:42.640 I want to watch The Many Saints of Newark,

00:42:44.380 but I haven't seen The Sopranos.

00:42:46.560 Which should I watch first?

00:42:47.900 Keep in mind,

00:42:48.620 I may disregard your answer

00:42:50.700 and just do what I want.

00:42:51.600 Please do not smite me.

00:42:53.000 Well, you're obviously banned from the show for that.

00:42:54.780 I haven't seen The Many Saints of Newark.

00:42:56.460 I've only watched one and a half seasons of The Sopranos.

00:42:59.700 And I got to be honest with you,

00:43:01.320 I went into it excited to watch The Sopranos.

00:43:06.400 I watched it for the first time like two years ago.

00:43:08.340 I completely missed it when it first aired on HBO.

00:43:11.520 And never felt like going back and watching it.

00:43:17.360 I'm not one of these people who can sit down

00:43:19.200 and watch five episodes of a series in one night.

00:43:22.600 So it takes me a long time to get through an entire,

00:43:25.100 especially Sopranos has five or six seasons.

00:43:27.740 That's just a long-term commitment.

00:43:29.780 And I've been hesitant to do it.

00:43:30.800 But I finally said,

00:43:31.640 all right, everyone talks about The Sopranos

00:43:32.820 like it's maybe the greatest show of all time.

00:43:34.640 And I sat down to watch it.

00:43:35.680 I really wanted to like it.

00:43:37.500 And I found it to be terribly overrated.

00:43:39.380 I got to be honest with you.

00:43:43.440 Devin Daniels says,

00:43:44.740 why did the trans person keep insisting 1.00

00:43:46.520 that their gender be assumed by how they look?

00:43:49.240 Wouldn't that be gender stereotyping? 1.00

00:43:51.780 Yes, with the Sonic situation.

00:43:53.360 Yeah, they did.

00:43:55.040 He did.

00:43:56.980 Why?

00:43:57.480 Because proponents of gender theory on the left,

00:44:04.060 gender theory itself is completely incoherent.

00:44:06.980 That's why.

00:44:08.420 They can't help but contradict themselves

00:44:10.700 with each new sentence they utter

00:44:13.640 because it's totally the entire concept,

00:44:16.360 the entire theory is incoherent by its nature.

00:44:20.860 Sam West says,

00:44:21.860 has anyone started a GoFundMe for the Sonic manager?

00:44:24.580 I want to contribute.

00:44:25.440 I don't think anybody has yet.

00:44:26.440 But if that manager is fired by Sonic,

00:44:30.040 and I've been checking to see

00:44:31.020 if they actually did fire this guy.

00:44:33.100 So far, I haven't seen anything about it.

00:44:34.840 So as far as I know, they haven't.

00:44:36.180 But if they do,

00:44:38.220 then I'll start the GoFundMe myself.

00:44:39.600 And something else is,

00:44:40.480 this would be a time for a real boycott.

00:44:43.820 An actual organized boycott of Sonic,

00:44:46.800 if they do fire this man,

00:44:48.560 who's the victim of public shaming and bullying

00:44:52.980 by this man who identifies as a woman.

00:44:57.200 Let's see.

00:44:59.460 Major Tom Fisher says,

00:45:00.800 Matt, do you think that Facebook, Twitter, etc.

00:45:02.980 will eventually compete with corporate media

00:45:04.940 for narrative power?

00:45:06.040 Or do you think that the objective of corporate media

00:45:07.860 is merely to just enforce the same rules on social media?

00:45:10.800 It seems like both factions lean hard left,

00:45:12.860 but both want to consolidate

00:45:14.020 and exercise massive propaganda power.

00:45:15.920 Or, yeah, the narrative of Facebook and Twitter

00:45:20.240 is the same as corporate media.

00:45:21.520 That's the point.

00:45:23.000 They have the same narrative goals.

00:45:25.900 But many of the people

00:45:26.900 who use these social media platforms don't.

00:45:30.620 And as far as that goes,

00:45:32.060 I think that the conservatives on social media

00:45:38.640 are already very much competing

00:45:41.520 with corporate media for narrative power.

00:45:43.180 I don't know that we could say

00:45:47.320 that we've overtaken.

00:45:48.300 I mean, the corporate media still exercises

00:45:50.080 a lot of control and power over the narrative.

00:45:54.360 But there is a stiff competition right now.

00:45:56.080 That's for sure.

00:45:57.660 And that's exactly why they're pushing this right now.

00:46:00.640 Because they see where the trends are heading.

00:46:04.480 Karen says,

00:46:05.260 I got my SBG t-shirt last week

00:46:07.400 and when my husband saw it,

00:46:08.840 he asked,

00:46:09.380 what's that all about?

00:46:11.140 I told him Matt Walsh fans

00:46:12.120 are called the Sweet Baby Gang.

00:46:13.620 He said, who's Matt Walsh?

00:46:15.640 When my son saw me later,

00:46:17.080 he asked,

00:46:17.500 why do you have a guy in a diaper on your shirt? 0.59

00:46:20.040 When my 11-year-old daughter saw it,

00:46:21.520 she said, oh, cool,

00:46:22.200 you got a Matt Walsh shirt.

00:46:23.580 Now I know who knows me best.

00:46:26.060 Look, I would never advocate,

00:46:27.260 Karen, for something like this.

00:46:28.740 I would never advocate for this

00:46:30.140 under normal circumstances.

00:46:33.260 And I'm very hesitant to say this.

00:46:34.580 And I say this solemnly.

00:46:36.560 But I think you need to consider

00:46:40.740 disowning your son

00:46:41.540 and divorcing your husband. 0.98

00:46:43.880 Drastic move, I understand.

00:46:46.920 I'm just kidding.

00:46:47.880 But not really.

00:46:48.780 Now a word from Paint Your Life.

00:46:51.300 You know,

00:46:51.560 PaintYourLife.com,

00:47:41.320 anything.

00:48:42.680 Now we cancel once again

00:48:44.080 noted race hustler

00:48:45.260 Ibram Henry Rogers,

00:48:46.720 better known by his stage name

00:48:47.780 Ibram X.

00:48:48.340 Kendi.

00:48:48.940 But this is not just about him.

00:48:50.440 Today we're canceling

00:48:51.000 a large and ever-growing

00:48:52.040 group of people,

00:48:53.000 of which Kendi

00:48:53.600 is among the most

00:48:54.360 prominent representatives.

00:48:55.580 The Daily Wire reports,

00:48:56.380 quote,

00:48:57.600 Jesus was a radical revolutionary

00:48:59.720 dedicated to the destruction

00:49:01.300 of the American empire

00:49:02.480 and every church

00:49:03.560 should be a home

00:49:04.260 of revolutionaries,

00:49:05.240 Ibram X. Kendi,

00:49:05.860 the best-selling author

00:49:06.500 of How to Be an Anti-Racist,

00:49:08.100 said in a recent interview.

00:49:09.540 Kendi said that he believes

00:49:10.780 in black liberation theology

00:49:11.940 as opposed to

00:49:12.460 white evangelical theology,

00:49:14.000 which allegedly teaches 0.95

00:49:16.040 quote, 0.99

00:49:16.120 a backward, 0.56

00:49:16.760 uncivilized, 0.83

00:49:17.340 sort of savage race

00:49:18.620 and Jesus came 0.98

00:49:19.580 to save black people 1.00

00:49:20.620 and so-called white trash 1.00

00:49:21.780 from themselves. 1.00

00:49:23.240 Kendi expounded

00:49:23.740 on his religious views

00:49:24.540 during an hour-long interview

00:49:25.520 program sponsored by Uproxx

00:49:27.740 titled People's Party

00:49:28.940 with Tlaib Kweli.

00:49:30.760 Kweli began 0.54

00:49:31.460 the religious discussion,

00:49:32.940 quote,

00:49:33.180 any gospel that does not

00:49:34.120 speak to liberation

00:49:34.860 is not truly gospel.

00:49:36.100 The understanding of Jesus

00:49:36.940 as a radical revolutionary

00:49:38.840 nowadays is more popular

00:49:40.220 than it used to be,

00:49:41.320 something he credits

00:49:41.820 to Cornel West,

00:49:42.700 the honorary chairman

00:49:43.380 of the Democrat Socialists

00:49:44.440 of America

00:49:44.840 and faculty member

00:49:45.820 at Union Theological Seminary.

00:49:47.820 Now, Kendi has been

00:49:48.640 preaching this line

00:49:49.260 for a long time,

00:49:49.940 of course,

00:49:50.220 and he's gone into

00:49:50.860 greater detail in the past.

00:49:52.140 Here he is at a church

00:49:53.100 in Manhattan

00:49:54.300 explaining this concept

00:49:56.060 of liberation theology.

00:49:57.760 Listen.

00:49:59.180 Liberation theology.

00:50:00.840 In other words,

00:50:01.720 Jesus was a revolutionary

00:50:04.080 and the job of the Christian

00:50:07.440 is to revolutionize society.

00:50:10.200 That the job of the Christian 1.00

00:50:12.020 is to liberate society

00:50:13.600 from the powers

00:50:15.980 on Earth

00:50:17.480 that are oppressing humanity.

00:50:20.500 Everybody understand that?

00:50:21.560 So, that's liberation theology

00:50:24.100 in a nutshell.

00:50:25.460 Savior theology

00:50:26.600 is a different type of theology.

00:50:29.800 The job of the Christian 1.00

00:50:30.980 is to go out

00:50:32.820 and save

00:50:34.280 these individuals

00:50:36.180 who are behaviorally deficient.

00:50:39.640 In other words,

00:50:40.640 we're to bring them

00:50:41.420 into the church,

00:50:43.000 these individuals

00:50:43.820 who are doing

00:50:46.040 all of these evil,

00:50:47.340 sinful things

00:50:48.220 and heal them

00:50:49.300 and save them

00:50:51.020 and then once

00:50:52.520 we've saved them,

00:50:53.940 we've done our jobs.

00:50:57.080 And to me,

00:50:58.120 anti-racists

00:50:59.120 fundamentally reject

00:51:01.480 savior theology.

00:51:03.400 That goes

00:51:04.580 right in line

00:51:05.680 with racist ideas

00:51:07.320 and racist theology

00:51:08.500 in which they say,

00:51:09.400 you know what,

00:51:10.300 black people,

00:51:11.640 other racial groups, 0.54

00:51:13.760 the reason why

00:51:14.800 they're struggling

00:51:15.420 on Earth

00:51:15.920 is because of what

00:51:16.760 they're behaviorally doing wrong

00:51:18.660 and it is my job

00:51:20.560 as the pastor

00:51:21.320 to sort of save 0.75

00:51:22.320 these wayward black people 1.00

00:51:24.060 or wayward poor people 1.00

00:51:25.840 or wayward queer people. 0.99

00:51:28.580 That type of theology 0.98

00:51:30.600 breeds bigotry.

00:51:33.600 Well, yeah,

00:51:34.820 the cause of many

00:51:35.700 of our struggles

00:51:36.400 for people

00:51:37.320 from all groups

00:51:38.060 and walks of life

00:51:38.920 is what we are

00:51:39.760 behaviorally doing wrong.

00:51:41.180 This is otherwise

00:51:41.600 known as sin.

00:51:42.560 We are sinners

00:51:43.120 in a sinful world

00:51:43.980 and our sin,

00:51:44.560 the evil that we choose to do

00:51:45.620 is what causes

00:51:47.080 much of the pain

00:51:47.760 and misery

00:51:48.120 we all experience.

00:51:48.820 This is a basic

00:51:49.580 Christian concept

00:51:50.360 and like so many

00:51:51.280 Christian concepts,

00:51:51.920 it's also common sense.

00:51:53.700 It should be obvious

00:51:54.300 to anyone,

00:51:54.760 Christian or not, 0.88

00:51:55.240 that the world

00:51:55.600 is in the shape

00:51:56.280 it's in largely

00:51:57.000 because of choices

00:51:57.940 that people make.

00:52:00.060 Kennedy, of course,

00:52:00.640 because it's his whole shtick,

00:52:02.080 racializes the issue.

00:52:03.640 He claims that

00:52:04.200 those dastardly proponents

00:52:05.380 of savior theology, 0.85

00:52:06.960 otherwise known as

00:52:07.520 Christian theology

00:52:08.180 or biblical theology,

00:52:09.500 are really focused on,

00:52:10.660 as he puts it, 0.88

00:52:11.560 saving wayward black people. 1.00

00:52:13.060 As always, 0.99

00:52:14.660 the victim complex

00:52:15.900 is driven by narcissism.

00:52:17.200 Kennedy imagines

00:52:18.020 that he,

00:52:19.260 as a black person,

00:52:20.300 is everybody's

00:52:21.040 primary focus.

00:52:22.060 He imagines that

00:52:22.620 white people in church

00:52:23.540 on Sunday

00:52:23.900 are sitting there

00:52:24.360 thinking,

00:52:24.760 man,

00:52:25.240 what can we do 0.97

00:52:25.860 about these black people? 0.97

00:52:27.880 Now, it's true

00:52:28.400 that a great many

00:52:29.040 of the problems 0.86

00:52:29.580 in the black community 0.84

00:52:30.180 are caused by choices

00:52:31.260 that people

00:52:31.840 in that community make,

00:52:33.220 just as, again,

00:52:34.060 the majority of problems

00:52:34.900 in any community

00:52:35.620 are caused by the choices

00:52:36.940 people within that community make.

00:52:38.760 But it may shock

00:52:39.500 Kennedy to be informed

00:52:40.420 that white people 0.52

00:52:41.580 sitting in church

00:52:42.440 or kneeling in prayer

00:52:43.420 are, like anyone else,

00:52:45.720 primarily focused

00:52:46.680 on their own lives

00:52:47.740 and on their families.

00:52:49.340 They aren't thinking,

00:52:50.540 what can I do

00:52:51.020 about this other racial group?

00:52:52.300 They're thinking about,

00:52:53.160 you know,

00:52:53.420 what can I do

00:52:54.040 about my family struggles,

00:52:55.760 about my struggles,

00:52:56.600 about my kids?

00:52:58.540 And the savior theology,

00:52:59.720 as Kennedy labels it,

00:53:00.520 thinking the term

00:53:01.040 is somehow pejorative,

00:53:02.840 provides the answer.

00:53:03.800 You bring it all

00:53:04.260 before Christ.

00:53:04.980 He saves.

00:53:05.560 He heals.

00:53:07.340 The proponents

00:53:07.820 of this theology

00:53:08.500 don't think that

00:53:09.920 they themselves

00:53:11.060 can save and heal,

00:53:12.100 but that Jesus can.

00:53:14.220 And if you don't think that,

00:53:16.200 then you're not Christian.

00:53:18.400 Kennedy is not Christian.

00:53:19.660 Liberation theology

00:53:20.480 is not a Christian theology.

00:53:22.560 It is its own religion.

00:53:25.340 The reason it's not Christian, 1.00

00:53:26.720 well, one of the many reasons

00:53:27.580 we don't have time

00:53:28.480 to go through

00:53:28.820 an exhaustive list,

00:53:29.560 is that it's entirely

00:53:31.340 earthbound.

00:53:32.160 It is predicated

00:53:34.360 on a belief

00:53:34.920 in a likewise

00:53:36.320 earthbound Jesus.

00:53:38.940 Kennedy and those 0.99

00:53:39.520 in his camp

00:53:39.960 say that Jesus

00:53:40.520 was some sort of

00:53:41.160 political revolutionary

00:53:42.380 dedicated to

00:53:43.300 reshaping human society

00:53:44.980 and solving our

00:53:45.760 political and social problems.

00:53:47.400 It's not a coincidence

00:53:48.240 that this version of Jesus,

00:53:49.680 the political

00:53:50.420 revolutionary version,

00:53:51.680 is one that many

00:53:52.880 atheists favor as well.

00:53:54.620 They also seek

00:53:55.620 an earthbound Jesus,

00:53:56.600 but the problem

00:53:57.200 for the atheists

00:53:58.340 and for Kennedy's camp,

00:53:59.380 and I say that as if

00:54:00.100 they're two different groups

00:54:00.860 and they're really not,

00:54:02.160 is that the Gospels

00:54:03.020 don't make that Jesus 0.98

00:54:04.560 available to us.

00:54:06.760 Of course,

00:54:07.460 in order to know

00:54:08.420 what the Gospel says

00:54:09.260 about Jesus,

00:54:09.860 you have to read

00:54:10.520 the Gospels first,

00:54:11.800 a step that Kennedy

00:54:12.520 doesn't seem to have taken.

00:54:13.900 But when you do,

00:54:15.400 you'll perhaps be surprised

00:54:16.620 to discover

00:54:17.060 that Jesus

00:54:18.060 was no political activist.

00:54:20.220 He wasn't organizing

00:54:21.420 marches and rallies.

00:54:23.120 He wasn't out

00:54:24.000 campaigning for causes.

00:54:26.240 He did criticize

00:54:27.120 the corrupt authorities

00:54:28.060 of his day

00:54:28.740 because his work,

00:54:29.920 his actual work,

00:54:30.600 naturally put him

00:54:31.280 in conflict

00:54:32.020 with those authorities.

00:54:33.380 But most of his ethical

00:54:34.420 and moral preaching

00:54:35.180 focused on universal

00:54:36.340 and timeless moral truths.

00:54:38.840 The Sermon on the Mount,

00:54:39.880 for example,

00:54:40.280 was chock full

00:54:40.900 of timeless moral truths.

00:54:43.300 He didn't spend

00:54:43.920 a lot of time

00:54:44.480 on specific political

00:54:46.200 and social issues,

00:54:47.200 even when his enemies

00:54:48.120 tried to force him into it

00:54:49.260 by backing him

00:54:49.960 into a corner.

00:54:50.900 You know,

00:54:51.120 when he was,

00:54:51.500 of course,

00:54:51.860 asked about taxes,

00:54:54.120 he simply said,

00:54:55.280 give to Caesar

00:54:55.760 what is Caesar's.

00:54:57.160 He didn't spell out

00:54:58.100 exactly what tax rate

00:54:59.120 we should all be paying.

00:55:00.660 He could have,

00:55:01.380 but he didn't.

00:55:02.280 He didn't take a position

00:55:03.040 on the debate

00:55:03.600 between a progressive tax

00:55:04.780 or a flat tax.

00:55:06.600 He never said anything

00:55:07.520 about which economic system

00:55:08.860 he favors.

00:55:11.100 All this ridiculous debate, 0.99

00:55:12.360 oh, 0.96

00:55:12.460 was Jesus a socialist?

00:55:14.160 He didn't,

00:55:14.920 no,

00:55:15.420 he wasn't.

00:55:15.800 He didn't endorse socialists.

00:55:16.860 He also didn't offer

00:55:17.580 any defenses

00:55:18.080 of libertarian

00:55:19.680 free market principles.

00:55:22.380 That simply was not

00:55:23.520 the point

00:55:24.140 of Christ's ministry.

00:55:25.660 The primary point

00:55:27.780 of his ministry

00:55:28.300 was the saving work

00:55:29.320 of salvation

00:55:29.880 that he had come

00:55:30.400 to perform.

00:55:31.340 Yes,

00:55:31.540 he wanted to liberate

00:55:32.300 mankind,

00:55:33.180 but liberate us

00:55:33.880 from sin,

00:55:34.520 from eternal death,

00:55:35.220 not from merely

00:55:36.100 earthly oppression

00:55:36.900 and suffering.

00:55:38.120 If you remove

00:55:39.100 or ignore

00:55:39.580 the eternal element

00:55:40.760 of Christ's mission

00:55:42.600 and of Christianity itself,

00:55:44.360 then you've removed

00:55:45.440 or ignored

00:55:45.940 the fundamental point

00:55:47.060 of it all.

00:55:48.400 What Kendi wants to do,

00:55:49.460 again,

00:55:49.680 no different from

00:55:50.160 any other secularist,

00:55:51.400 is strip away

00:55:52.900 all that is supernatural

00:55:54.200 and eternal

00:55:55.220 from the Gospels

00:55:55.960 and leave only

00:55:57.180 the earthly

00:55:57.800 finite leftovers,

00:55:59.660 but there's not much

00:56:01.300 left when you do that.

00:56:02.260 That's the problem.

00:56:03.700 If you take Jesus' 0.97

00:56:04.620 miracles off the table

00:56:05.680 and all of his talk

00:56:07.260 about his salvific mission,

00:56:09.240 his actual resurrection,

00:56:11.640 what are you left with?

00:56:14.240 Some valuable

00:56:15.200 moral lessons,

00:56:16.120 certainly,

00:56:17.340 but that's it.

00:56:19.160 I mean,

00:56:19.400 you're left with a guy

00:56:20.220 who walked around

00:56:20.920 2,000 years ago,

00:56:22.320 said some nice things,

00:56:23.620 and then died

00:56:25.040 and rotted away

00:56:26.040 and became dust.

00:56:27.760 You're not even left

00:56:28.620 with a political revolutionary

00:56:29.800 or any sort of

00:56:31.040 historically significant

00:56:32.200 ethical teacher.

00:56:33.740 There's not enough

00:56:34.580 meat left on the bones

00:56:35.680 to support that version

00:56:36.820 of Jesus

00:56:37.260 once you've taken

00:56:38.480 all of the supernatural

00:56:39.540 things away.

00:56:41.760 So,

00:56:42.100 the choice,

00:56:43.760 now we hear

00:56:44.040 C.S. Lewis

00:56:44.640 had the trilemma.

00:56:47.580 Jesus was either 0.99

00:56:48.700 a lord, liar, 1.00

00:56:49.840 or a lunatic. 1.00

00:56:50.900 I think it's more 0.98

00:56:51.720 simple than that.

00:56:52.340 There's actually two,

00:56:54.300 there's only two choices

00:56:55.360 were given by the Gospels

00:56:56.320 when it comes to Jesus.

00:56:58.280 Either

00:56:58.680 he was the most

00:57:00.300 significant person

00:57:01.080 to ever live,

00:57:02.040 and he still lives

00:57:02.860 because he was

00:57:03.400 greater than a person,

00:57:04.720 he was much more

00:57:05.220 than a person,

00:57:06.140 or

00:57:06.900 he was

00:57:08.680 someone of almost

00:57:09.520 no significance

00:57:10.240 who was mythologized

00:57:12.120 later on.

00:57:13.680 Those are really

00:57:14.560 your two options.

00:57:16.760 Lots of people,

00:57:17.680 Kendi included,

00:57:18.320 look for some third option

00:57:19.520 that just isn't there.

00:57:20.780 But a real Christian 1.00

00:57:23.340 has no problem

00:57:24.060 choosing the first option.

00:57:26.560 Kendi doesn't like

00:57:27.260 that option

00:57:27.800 because he's not a Christian.

00:57:30.080 And that's why

00:57:30.820 he's canceled today.

00:57:32.360 Not canceled

00:57:33.080 because he's not a Christian,

00:57:34.460 but because he's not one

00:57:37.060 while pretending to be.

00:57:40.360 And we'll leave it there
