The Matt Walsh Show - Ep. 834 - A Country That Honors Men Like Harvey Milk And George Floyd Cannot Survive

00:00:00.000 Today on the Matt Wall Show, a ship named after the pederast Harvey Milk was christened by a

00:00:04.660 transgender Navy veteran over the weekend. It was a very encouraging and inspirational spectacle

00:00:08.400 to China. Also, eight people died during a rap concert is the performer to blame for that. And

00:00:13.540 the sports media is beside itself with outrage because Aaron Rodgers didn't get the COVID

00:00:18.480 vaccine. Plus, SNL looks for comedy and abortion and only succeeds in proving the opposite point

00:00:23.320 from what I think they were trying to prove. And our daily cancellation today will be once and for

00:00:27.440 all canceling equality. It's time and we have to do it. We'll do all of that and much more today on 0.56

00:00:32.180 the Matt Wall Show. You know, food prices are going up. Gas prices are going up. Prices for everything

00:01:55.540 shacking up with troubled teenage boys. One of his long-term boyfriends, and please note the air 0.92

00:02:00.560 quotes around that term, was 16 years old, mentally ill and suicidal. Milk was in his mid-30s at the time

00:02:06.860 of this relationship. Again, the air quotes. The gay rights hero preyed upon boys of this kind. He 0.95

00:02:13.040 brainwashed them. In fact, he had a real affinity for brainwashing as he was friends with and a defender

00:02:18.060 of cult leader Jim Jones, once writing a letter to Jimmy Carter describing Jones as a, quote,

00:02:23.980 man of the highest character. Milk had cult followers from the People's Temple working on

00:02:28.780 his campaign and most of them would go just a few months later to commit mass suicide at a compound

00:02:33.720 in South America. So that was Harvey Milk for you. But in spite of all this, in spite of Harvey Milk

00:02:39.900 being essentially the Kevin Spacey of his time, but creepier, we're meant to celebrate and honor him

00:02:45.740 because he advanced the gay rights cause. He was a martyr for the cause, we're told. Even though he

00:02:51.200 was murdered, and he was murdered, but he was murdered when he was a city supervisor by a

00:02:56.740 disgruntled employee for reasons that had nothing to do with homophobia. And the same guy also killed

00:03:01.940 the mayor, who was straight. And you never hear about the mayor. Poor guy. Nonetheless, Harvey Milk was gay 0.88

00:03:08.500 and he was killed. And that's enough to make him into the Jesus Christ of the gay rights movement, 0.96

00:03:13.300 a man who died for the homophobic sins of all mankind. Since then, the mythology of Harvey Milk,

00:03:20.140 again, the middle-aged man who sexually preyed upon high school boys, has grown and expanded and been

00:03:25.560 literally cemented into the public consciousness in the form of statues and memorials and all kinds of

00:03:29.640 things. A few years ago, the post office proudly unveiled its new commemorative Harvey Milk stamps.

00:03:35.400 And yesterday, a Navy ship, the USNS Harvey Milk, was christened in the San Diego harbor. And there

00:03:43.720 to do the honors was trans Navy veteran Paula Neera. Let's listen to that. Paula, would you please

00:03:49.920 christen the ship? In the name of the United States of America, I christen thee Harvey Milk. May God bless

00:03:59.520 the ship and all who sail in her. Okay, wonderful. And Paula there

00:04:21.260 sounds and looks just like a woman, right? Now, the good news is that the USNS Harvey Milk will

00:04:30.220 one day soon become a very inclusive and progressive coral reef at the bottom of the Pacific

00:04:35.180 when it's destroyed by China in our coming war. Indeed, on the same day that a biological male 0.94

00:04:40.280 named Paula was christening a ship named after a child molester, The Hill published an article

00:04:45.060 revealing that our government is unnerved, quote unquote, by China's growing military capabilities.

00:04:50.140 From the article, it says, America's defense establishment has watched threats from Beijing

00:04:53.860 rapidly grow in multiple areas, including recent hypersonic missile tests and expanding nuclear

00:04:58.360 arsenal, strides in space and cyber and seemingly daily threats to Taiwan. Quote, we're witnessing

00:05:04.140 one of the largest shifts in global geostrategic power the world has witnessed. Joint Chiefs of Staff

00:05:09.540 Chairman General Mark Milley said Wednesday when speaking about China's recent military advances.

00:05:14.000 Quote, they are clearly challenging us regionally and their aspiration is to challenge the United

00:05:17.760 States globally. A potential shift in the global balance of power is worrisome to US officials

00:05:23.000 and lawmakers. Yes, worrisome. So worrisome that the Defense Department is preparing us for this

00:05:29.140 inevitable confrontation with a world superpower by recruiting and promoting women, emphasizing 1.00

00:05:35.320 tolerance and diversity, and focusing on the threat posed by the, you know, 25 white nationalists

00:05:41.260 in the country. 23 of whom are federal agents, by the way. Worrisome indeed. But aside from the implosion

00:05:47.720 of our military, which is right now collapsing under the weight of its own wokeness, it says something

00:05:52.480 about our broader society that Harvey Milk is the kind of man we honor. You know, a person in San Diego,

00:05:59.820 a spectator in San Diego over the weekend might have witnessed the coronation of the Harvey Milk love

00:06:04.260 boat and then walked downtown to pay respects at the George Floyd Memorial. All in a day, you know,

00:06:10.340 nice, nice day out on the town. These are the sorts of people we pay tribute to now. A cult loving

00:06:16.140 pederast and a violent felon. And it's not just that both men were deeply flawed and guilty of horrific 0.90

00:06:21.660 evils, though they were, is that neither achieved anything tremendously significant in their lives.

00:06:27.780 And both are remembered today mainly because their deaths proved useful to the left.

00:06:32.400 They are victims and we are a culture which celebrates victimhood. Now, it would be bad enough

00:06:39.020 if we were just tearing down the Columbus statues and military memorials, just taking the founders

00:06:45.740 names off of schools and so on. If this was a general reaction against, quote unquote, problematic

00:06:52.360 historical figures, problematic because they were men and not angels, sinners and not gods.

00:06:57.340 And the end result was that we don't memorialize or honor or remember anyone out of an overabundance

00:07:04.640 of shame for our fallen nature and a belief that no man can possibly be worthy of such treatment and

00:07:09.840 death. If that was the case, it would be bad and it would be unhealthy and I would resist it,

00:07:15.960 but it wouldn't be nearly as bad as what is actually occurring. See, we're not experiencing

00:07:21.620 a simple erasure of history as much as a reordering of it. So we're not getting rid of Columbus,

00:07:28.820 Jefferson, and Washington. We're replacing them and all the rest of our traditional heroes as well.

00:07:33.840 When Mount Rushmore is finally blown to smithereens, and it will be, new faces will be carved on the

00:07:39.060 mountainside. It won't be left alone. The new faces of George Floyd, Harvey Milk. It's hard to know

00:07:45.580 who else will make the cut. I mean, the litmus test is that you must be worshipped by either

00:07:49.740 BLM or the LGBT lobby, and you must have a compelling victim story, whether the story is true or not, 0.89

00:07:57.280 and most of the time it isn't. It doesn't matter if you accomplished anything. Accomplishments of

00:08:01.720 anything are discouraged. Virtue is irrelevant also. So what we find is that all cultures need their

00:08:11.160 mythic heroes. That's a need for a culture. There's a reason why every human society since

00:08:17.320 the dawn of civilization, and possibly even before that, has built monuments to its ancestors.

00:08:23.160 It's an irresistible human impulse that we all have. We must have some idea about our past.

00:08:30.640 You know, we cannot live in a past-less, future-less void. We have to know where we've been. We have to

00:08:36.060 see the footsteps in the sand so that we know where to go. And what's true of individuals is also true

00:08:41.860 of societies. You become what you admire. And so recently, we followed the footsteps of great men

00:08:48.280 who achieved great things. And so we continued to produce more great men who would blaze a path for

00:08:54.620 the great men to come after them. But we don't care about greatness anymore. Actually, we hate it.

00:09:00.780 Our heroes now are Harvey Milk and George Floyd. That's who we admire, or are told to admire.

00:09:11.260 And so that's who we will become. Now let's get to our five headlines.

00:09:23.480 Well, as we get into the holiday season, maybe you're one of those people that thinks ahead of

00:10:40.740 great, a good, good weekend. At least good. Maybe not great. That's set the bar a little high, but at least

00:10:44.960 good. You had a pretty good weekend. I, on not to brag about being a great husband or anything, but

00:10:51.540 one of my anniversary gifts to my wife that I gave her was, uh, on Saturday, you know, I said,

00:10:57.080 go, I, I got her booked her a day at the spa and I told her to go to go to spa. She did. And so I took

00:11:03.600 over with all the kids and, um, you know, we, we, we had a lot of fun. We, for example, we just kind

00:11:11.920 of went into the garage to look for random things to, to play with. And we found, um, some old, uh,

00:11:19.360 plastic storage bins. And my, my kid said, can we take the plastic storage bins out back on the,

00:11:24.040 on the grassy hill and try to sled down the grass in the storage bins. And so that, that was like

00:11:28.700 two and a half hours of fun. Um, and the other thing we did is we played hide and seek and I play

00:11:34.340 hide and seek with my kids all the time. Um, and, and, and, and, you know, up until now, the thing I

00:11:42.800 liked about playing hide and seek with my kids is that I always win. And I wouldn't, and I'm, I'm,

00:11:46.440 it might not surprise you to learn. I'm not one of those dads that lets the kids win that like

00:11:51.020 you're, I'm not gonna let you win. You got to beat me. And so I'm probably like 200 up until today,

00:11:56.840 up until this weekend, I was 200. No, as a, as a, as a hide and seek player against my kids,

00:12:01.560 but now they've gotten older and they're playing the game on a more psychological level.

00:12:07.200 So it was my turn to hide and I was hiding. So I picked a, I picked a great hiding spot.

00:12:12.120 I'd already planned it out. I was in this great hiding spot. They were never going to find me.

00:12:15.100 And then I hear this, this loud bang down in the, uh, down in the living room.

00:12:21.500 And my son starts screaming out that he's hurt himself. He's like screaming and crying. I hurt

00:12:26.160 myself. And so I come running out to check on him and he says, ha ha, just kidding. So he,

00:12:32.140 he was pretending to hurt himself to flush me out of my hiding spot. And I thought you little,

00:12:38.900 this, this is, I'm here playing checkers and now you're playing 40 chess.

00:12:43.780 That's, that's, that's psychological warfare. And I fell for it. And then they tried it again.

00:12:49.640 The next time I was hiding, they went in the kitchen and started banging around and saying,

00:12:53.220 daddy, we're playing with the knives. That time I did not come out. I was, I was wagering that they

00:12:59.860 were just kidding about playing with the butcher knives. Unfortunately they were, but even if they

00:13:03.100 weren't, that was a risk I was willing to take. All right. We'll start with this from the Daily

00:13:08.740 Wire. It says a sold out Houston music festival attended by an estimated 50,000 people turned

00:13:13.740 deadly on Friday night after a headliner began to perform. The Associated Press reported the crowd

00:13:18.740 gathered for the two day event in NRG park at Astroworld. Uh, they suddenly surged toward the stage

00:13:24.860 during a performance by rapper Travis Scott. And he was not just the performer at this, uh,

00:13:29.580 Astroworld event. This it's his event. He puts the event on, I believe he has an album named called

00:13:34.640 Astroworld. So this is, this is his event that he puts on. And, um, it says, quote, they started

00:13:40.600 surging towards the stage, squeezing fans so tightly together that they could not breathe or move their

00:13:44.940 arms and killing eight people in the chaos, hospitalizing several others. According to the

00:13:50.900 outlet, as a timer clicked down to start the performance, the crowd pushed forward. Uh, Nick Johnson,

00:13:57.220 a high school student who attended the concert, told the AP, everyone was passing out around you.

00:14:01.320 Everyone was trying to help each other, but you couldn't move. You couldn't do anything. You can't

00:14:04.960 even pick your arms up. It just got worse and worse. Now keep in mind, eight people.

00:14:11.480 And I mean, this is, this has been a pretty big story in the news. I don't know how it's not a

00:14:15.500 bigger story than, than, than it's being treated. Eight people, mostly kids died at a concert.

00:14:23.840 But remember, you know, uh, prior to, to this, what I think was considered the deadliest and most, um,

00:14:34.800 catastrophic music festival ever was Woodstock 99. Um, and, uh, and in that, I, I believe that was

00:14:42.340 like a two or three day festival. There was a hundred, 200,000 people there and three or four

00:14:47.220 people died. And it was a big deal at the time. I can remember it distinctly. Yeah. Three or four

00:14:52.760 deaths with that many people. This is eight people in a crowd of 50,000 and a span of a

00:15:00.680 couple hours died. Uh, officials caught off the event about 40 minutes after law enforcement

00:15:06.820 observed concerts, concert goers going down. Authorities said a mass casualty incident had

00:15:12.240 occurred at 9 38 PM. According to the Houston Chronicle, concert attendees said Scott appeared

00:15:16.580 to play his whole set and finished at 10 15 PM. And, uh, Travis Scott is, uh, the boyfriend or

00:15:24.060 whatever. I don't think they're married of Kylie Jenner, one of the Kardashians. Um, there, there's,

00:15:32.520 there are a lot of weird reports coming out of this concert and I don't know how much of it is true or

00:15:38.280 not. One thing that you heard early on, kind of the rumor circulating online is that people were

00:15:43.920 being injected with some unknown substance. And this has been at least partially confirmed. There

00:15:48.380 was, there was a security guard who was briefly rendered unconscious after feeling a prick on his

00:15:55.780 neck. And then he was, they, they woke him up and they found markings where he had been injected by

00:16:01.020 somebody. And there were also reports of many, uh, at least several people going into cardiac arrest.

00:16:10.480 It's not clear if that happened during this surge or before it, or if it had something to do with

00:16:16.120 what sparked it to begin with, but you had people being injected with drugs, apparently other people

00:16:21.380 being trampled to death. And the videos that you see online now, and I'm not going to play them,

00:16:28.680 but you can go, you can go find these videos. There's many of them circulating. Travis Scott is up

00:16:33.660 there continuing the performance. Now, early on, I read reports saying that he stopped,

00:16:39.140 he stopped multiple times to try to tell the crowd to back up. That was the report. Anyway,

00:16:43.520 that's the claim. I have not seen any videos of Travis Scott stopping the concert. Doesn't mean he

00:16:49.820 didn't do it. I haven't seen those videos. The videos I've seen show Travis Scott up on the stage

00:16:56.240 while there are kids collapsing all around and medics rushing into the crowd. And he's, he's continuing to

00:17:01.800 perform. But now he says that he's very upset about it. And, uh, and he put out a kind of a statement

00:17:07.920 on Instagram the next day talking about how devastated he is. And, uh, I don't know, you

00:17:15.880 watch this and tell me if you find it to be sincere. I just want to send out prayers to the,

00:17:22.380 to the ones that was lost last night. We're actually working right now to identify the families

00:17:31.120 so we can help assist them through this tough time. You know, my fans, my fans, like my fans

00:17:38.440 really mean the world to me. And I always just really want to leave them with a positive experience.

00:17:44.240 And anytime I can make out, you know, anything that's going on, you know, you know, I stop the

00:17:50.420 show and, you know, help them get the help they need. You know, um, I could just never imagine the

00:17:57.720 severity of the situation. Yeah. I find the, his reaction somewhat unsettling. I don't, I don't

00:18:06.400 really, eight people just died in front of you, man, at your concert. Eight kids were just trampled

00:18:16.600 to death. And this is, this is his reaction. It sounds like he's, you know, it's, this sounds

00:18:22.440 like the kind of statement that you have if, uh, if you had to cancel a concert or something

00:18:26.360 because something happened and people were, you know, and you had to issue a bunch of refunds

00:18:31.060 and people were inconvenienced. And so I could see that. Yeah. Really, really sorry about

00:18:37.200 that. Uh, you know, really, really, really unfortunate. When I watch that, especially as

00:18:43.520 he's right, it's not taking his hands off his head the entire time. That's kind of a tell

00:18:46.960 also that someone's not being entirely sincere. You know, they keep rubbing their face and everything.

00:18:52.120 So he's got all those tells, but it's, it's, and he does it in black and white. He takes

00:18:56.380 the time to change the filter on it to make it black and white. This is someone that seems

00:19:00.360 to me trying to seem devastated and saying that they're devastated, but it doesn't really

00:19:06.380 seem that way to me. One thing you have to remember about Travis Scott, some background

00:19:10.820 on this guy is that he has a history of riling up the crowd at his concerts, intentionally

00:19:18.620 encouraging them to rush through security barricades. Now, I don't know if he did that

00:19:23.360 during this concert, but he has a history of doing that. I've read some accounts from

00:19:28.760 security guards who've worked Travis Scott concerts and how he'll kind of turn against

00:19:34.180 them during the concert and encourage fans to bum rush them. There's another video very

00:19:40.980 disturbing from a few years ago where, where he was, uh, Travis Scott was crowd surfing and

00:19:46.320 some kid in the, and he looked like he was 14 or 15 years old, maybe younger. Some kid

00:19:50.580 grabs his shoe. I don't know if intentionally or not. And then Travis Scott loses his mind

00:19:56.120 on this kid and starts calling for the crowd to, you know, F him up and to beat the kid up

00:20:01.340 for taking his shoe. Enlisting a crowd of people who are, many of them are already drunk on drugs.

00:20:09.800 They're kind of out of their minds because that's, that's the environment at these kinds of

00:20:13.660 concerts. It's an environment intentionally designed to make people sort of lose their senses.

00:20:22.160 And he's sicking this, this mob on this kid because it took a shoe. Meanwhile, I'm sure this

00:20:27.300 guy has 500 pairs of shoes at his house along with a couple dozen backstage for all of his outfit

00:20:33.860 changes, wardrobe changes. So that's the kind of guy he is. Um, which means I put all that together

00:20:41.940 and I, you know, I put this on him. I don't know how I put this on him at least to the extent that

00:20:48.640 you blame Alec Baldwin for shooting the cinematographer. I mean, it wasn't just his fault.

00:20:57.960 There were other people involved, but you're the one holding the gun and you didn't check it.

00:21:03.280 And so this falls on you, Travis Scott, this is your concert. It's up to make you to make sure

00:21:09.780 everything is safe. At the very least, if eight people die, it means that this was a massive

00:21:16.220 failure in planning and logistics and making sure you had enough security there. And that goes to you.

00:21:22.740 You throw an event and eight people die because at a minimum, because, because of poor planning.

00:21:32.480 Yeah. This guy should be arrested and charged already. Shouldn't even be a discussion.

00:21:37.980 And then you add into that all the, you see some of the pictures from the,

00:21:41.660 from the event and you hear some of the accounts and there's a lot of just weird satanic imagery

00:21:47.080 everywhere. I was listening to one account from a girl that was there saying that it was just,

00:21:51.960 and she's not, she said that she's not religious, but it felt weird and satanic even to her,

00:21:57.280 even the kind of music they were playing. And all of this stuff is designed to make, as I said,

00:22:03.780 it kind of makes people lose their senses, lose their mind in a certain way. And it's designed to

00:22:11.780 have that effect. And then you add in all the drugs and everything, even more so.

00:22:17.080 Um, all right, let's move on to this. Aaron Rogers, the quarterback of the Green Bay Packers got COVID

00:22:27.360 and the assumption immediately, once he was diagnosed with COVID as well, well, that means

00:22:33.040 that he wasn't vaccinated, which that's not a safe assumption because we know that vaccinated

00:22:37.900 people get COVID all the time. In this case, it turns out that, yeah, he wasn't vaccinated. Now he

00:22:41.760 had previously said earlier or before the season, when he was asked about it, he said that he'd been

00:22:46.340 immunized, but, um, he didn't specifically say that he got the vaccine. Everyone took that to

00:22:52.240 mean that he got the vaccine. And now it turns out that he didn't, he admitted that he didn't get it.

00:22:57.320 And this has made the media very, very upset at Aaron Rogers. He is public enemy number one

00:23:02.000 in sports. And so if you watch football yesterday or over the weekend, you saw a lot of segments like

00:23:09.000 this. Here's Terry Bradshaw, former quarterback himself in the NFL, now a NFL commentator. Um,

00:23:14.360 here he is addressing Aaron Rogers and, and Terry Bradshaw is like on the verge of tears because

00:23:19.100 Aaron Rogers didn't get vaccinated. Let's listen to this. I'd give Aaron Rogers some advice. It

00:23:24.900 would have been nice if he had just come to the Naval Academy and learn how to be honest. Yeah.

00:23:33.260 Learn not to lie because that's what you did, Aaron. You lied to everyone. I understand immunized.

00:23:39.500 What you were doing was taking stuff that would keep you from getting COVID-19. You got COVID-19.

00:23:45.480 Ivermectin is a cattle dewormer. Sorry folks. That's what it is. We are a divided nation politically.

00:23:51.240 We're divided nation on the COVID-19, whether or not to take the vaccine. And unfortunately,

00:23:55.600 we've got players that pretty much think only about themselves. And I'm extremely disappointed

00:24:01.020 in the actions of Aaron Rogers.

00:24:02.820 I'm not mad. I'm disappointed. You lied to us, Aaron. You lied to us. Uh, do you think maybe

00:24:10.360 if he did lie and I'm not saying I necessarily agree with that characterization, but if he did,

00:24:15.000 maybe it's because you're not owed the truth, Terry Bradshaw, why should you be told?

00:24:22.240 If I, if I lie to you about my medical history, it's because you have no business knowing that.

00:24:28.120 If someone on the street comes up to me and says, Hey, have you, have you taken this drug or got

00:24:33.600 this medicine? I could say whatever I want. Sure. I took it. You don't have any moral right to be

00:24:39.760 angry. If you find out that I wasn't telling the truth later, you lied to me. Well, how it's none

00:24:43.680 of your business. Why are you asking the question? Why is it Terry Bradshaw's business? Whether Aaron

00:24:50.820 Rogers got the vaccine, we're so accustomed to this now to demanding that people reveal their

00:24:59.180 medical history, at least as a, as it concerns COVID that many people have come to see this as,

00:25:05.400 as normal. It's not, it's none of your damn business. If Aaron Rogers lied to me as a member 0.99

00:25:12.680 of the public about his vaccination status, I don't care because I don't care if he got the vaccine or

00:25:18.500 not to begin with. Okay. The thing about, um, the thing about the truth is that given the,

00:25:29.600 the circumstance, you're not always owed the truth. Like there are private pieces of information

00:25:34.860 about a person's life and their history and the things they do with their body where that's,

00:25:40.600 that's not a truth that you're owed. They don't owe that truth to you.

00:25:44.340 Now, whether that justifies lying, well, that's a whole ethical, interesting debate that we can

00:25:51.780 have, but you certainly are not. Terry Bradshaw is not owed that piece of information.

00:25:58.440 And meanwhile, you can't help but make the comparison here because Aaron Rogers is getting

00:26:05.200 killed by sports media right now. And you also have to understand that this is,

00:26:09.240 it, it, it's pretty rare for them to do it. It takes, it usually takes a lot

00:26:14.520 for N for NFL commentators and for ESPN to go after the most high profile stars. And one of the

00:26:24.480 reasons why they usually don't do it is because they're all friends. And so it's awkward. And so

00:26:29.040 that's, that's why they don't criticize each other, but also because these are, you know,

00:26:33.080 Aaron Rogers makes Terry Bradshaw a lot of money because he's an NFL commentator and people tune

00:26:41.540 in, people don't tune in to, to hear NFL commentators for them. If people are interested

00:26:46.900 in football, then they're going to be interested in what the commentators have to say. Aaron Rogers

00:26:52.240 is one of the guys that makes people interested in football. So he's a highly bankable star. He makes

00:26:57.180 a lot of money for all these people. They all know him and are friends with him. And, uh, and so

00:27:01.800 normally they let a lot slide. It is pretty unusual to hear something like what you just heard.

00:27:13.260 It's so unusual that, um, when another NFL superstar quarterback by the name of Deshaun Watson of the

00:27:20.820 Houston Texans, when he was accused of rape by like 20 women or more than 20 women, we have not seen

00:27:30.520 any moments like what you just saw there with Terry Bradshaw. They talk, it's, it is discussed a little

00:27:36.200 bit and they're very circumspect about it. And they say, well, we got to do the investigation and

00:27:41.860 we'll see this and that. And there haven't been any moments like that. Um, Henry Ruggs is a NFL wide

00:27:53.360 receiver of the Las Vegas Raiders. Last weekend, he got drunk and drove his car 156 miles an hour

00:28:03.420 and slammed into another car and killed somebody. And there were no moments like that.

00:28:12.620 So the sports media are far, far, far more angry at Aaron Rogers for not getting the COVID vaccine 0.75

00:28:20.020 than they are at Deshaun Watson for raping 20 women, allegedly. And we've got to throw the allegedly 0.63

00:28:25.540 on that, except that there's again, like 20 women have come out against him. All of them massage 0.99

00:28:30.440 therapists and all of them telling basically the same story. And when that happens, I think you could

00:28:35.460 basically drop the allegedly. Okay. Now you've got, it's, it's 20 to one and they're all telling the

00:28:40.520 same story. There's a, there's a real pattern here. Um, so Deshaun Watson allegedly raping, uh, 20

00:28:46.440 women, Henry Ruggs killing somebody last week, but sports media far, far, far more angry at Aaron

00:28:54.180 Rogers for not getting the COVID vaccine. And before anyone attempts some desperate maneuvering

00:29:04.220 here by, by saying, well, you, Aaron Rogers could kill, he could, he could kill way more than just

00:29:11.260 one person by not getting the vaccine. Except that if you're vaccinated, as we've said a million

00:29:19.460 times, if you are vaccinated and you trust the vaccine, then you shouldn't have to worry about

00:29:28.040 Aaron Rogers infecting you unless the vaccine doesn't work. In which case, why should Aaron

00:29:33.800 Rogers get it? And if you're not vaccinated, then that's a choice you've made. That's a risk you've

00:29:38.460 decided to take. And you still can't get mad at Aaron Rogers. So no matter what, there's, there's

00:29:42.760 no grounds to be mad at Aaron Rogers unless you're trying to be an ethical purist here. And, and the

00:29:50.900 reason you're angry is that he lied to us. Yeah. He lied to you. Deshaun Watson raped 20 women. So

00:29:59.220 I don't know. You decide, you decide who, who we should be taking a task here more. Um, staying

00:30:05.240 on the vaccine subject, white house chief of staff, Ron Klain, uh, trying to justify the 0.99

00:30:12.140 vaccine mandate made a, a, a very interesting by interesting, I mean, stupid analogy. Let's 0.99

00:30:17.820 listen. I'm quite confident that when this finally gets fully adjudicated, not just a temporary

00:30:22.900 order, uh, the, the validity of this requirement will be upheld. It's common sense, Chuck. If OSHA

00:30:28.820 can tell people to wear a hard, hard hat on the job, to be careful on chemicals, it can

00:30:34.200 put, put, put in place these simple measures to keep our workers safe. We will find out

00:30:39.160 if the courts agree.

00:30:41.080 A hard hat. Okay. Ron, let me explain a few differences here. First of all, um, if you are

00:30:49.820 working a construction site, then most likely you're a relatively young male and most likely

00:30:57.920 you're in pretty good physical shape, which means that COVID poses very, very little risk to you.

00:31:04.960 However, a large object falling on your head, even if you are a young physically fit man,

00:31:11.720 um, that will still kill you or at least cause brain damage. So on a construction site,

00:31:17.360 the risk from a falling object is much, much, much, much greater than the risk of COVID.

00:31:23.820 So that's one of the reasons why you wear a hard hat. Also, the other thing about a hard hat is,

00:31:27.180 you put it on your body and then you could take it off. It's not a substance you inject into your

00:31:34.060 body. Now, Ron Klain, just looking at him and his physique doesn't strike me as the kind of guy

00:31:39.920 who's done a lot of construction or spent a lot of time outside. Um, so maybe he doesn't really

00:31:45.840 understand how hard hats work, but that's what they are. It's a hat that you put on, you can put

00:31:49.400 take it right back off. Um, so this is not a requirement that people inject a substance into

00:31:57.660 their body. A hard hat serves a certain purpose. And you know the thing about a hard hat? No side

00:32:04.460 effects that you have to worry about. None at all. You don't have to worry about any long-term side

00:32:09.140 effects, any short-term. It gives you hat hair. Okay. So that's the side effect of a,

00:32:14.400 of a, of a, uh, hard hat is that it gives you hat hair and your, your hair looks a little bit weird

00:32:19.020 when you take it off. That's the side effect. As opposed to any, any drug that you put in your

00:32:24.000 body, there are going to be many more significant side effects than that, potentially for any drug

00:32:28.660 that you take to include the COVID vaccine. Um, but this is, they've, they've been grappling

00:32:38.740 around for analogies. Really this whole, this whole time, hard hat, or a lot of times you'll

00:32:44.900 hear the, well, it's like wearing a seatbelt thing, but there's no analogy that they can,

00:32:50.160 none of the analogies work because all the analogies they reach for, they're looking at,

00:32:55.660 you know, temporary minor measures where you're doing something, you're taking a safety measure

00:33:01.080 for a specific purpose. Um, and the amount that it mitigates your risk is a measurable thing. And

00:33:08.440 it's just, it's not analogous to taking a drug and especially to the government forcing you to take

00:33:14.320 a drug. One other clip I want to play kind of on the same, um, point here. Do we even have this?

00:33:23.700 I think we do. Oh yeah, we do. Rochelle Walensky. She's the CDC director. And, um, as we, you know,

00:33:30.000 get into flu season and everything, now she's suggesting that, Hey, even if you're not worried

00:33:35.900 about COVID, maybe you should still wear the mask for the sake of, uh, protecting yourself against

00:33:39.580 the flu. The evidence is clear. Masks can help prevent the spread of COVID-19 by reducing your

00:33:52.980 chance of infection by more than 80%. Whether it's an infection from the flu, from the coronavirus,

00:33:59.000 or even just the common cold. In combination with other steps, like getting your vaccination,

00:34:05.740 hand-washing, and keeping physical distance, wearing your mask is an important step you can

00:34:11.080 take to keep us all healthy. Get vaccine facts. We can do this. Okay, cool. So just wear the vaccine

00:34:20.580 or wear the, uh, the mask until we've cured the common cold, and then you'll be good to take it

00:34:25.480 off. Why didn't the CDC ever suggest this before? Did Rachel Walensky and the CDC, did they just

00:34:33.140 discover that the cold exists, uh, or that the flu exists? Did they, the existence of viruses that can

00:34:40.600 be transmitted through the air? Have they, have they just discovered that? Or did they just now

00:34:46.480 realize that masks, you know, did they not know about medical masks in the past?

00:34:54.280 If it's a simple, no big deal measure, um, why was it never suggested before COVID?

00:35:05.920 But this was a conspiracy theory before, remember? If I suggested, or you suggested, as many of us did,

00:35:12.620 predicted that the mask, this is going to become a, a, a lifestyle that is, that they're going to try

00:35:23.020 to impose on us from the top permanently, where you have to cover your face forever, because COVID

00:35:32.320 is all of the reasons given for wearing a mask because of COVID, all of those reasons apply to

00:35:38.820 the cold and they apply to the flu and everything else. And if they were making that argument for

00:35:44.820 that, then they're going to say, they're going to say it to the flu and they're going to say it for

00:35:47.780 the, for, for the cold. Only when we made that argument in the past, up until right now, that

00:35:52.840 was a conspiracy theory. And now you have the CDC coming out and saying exactly that. So that's the

00:35:57.040 way it always works. All right, next SNL, um, had some hilarious abortion content on Saturday night. 0.99

00:36:04.580 It's from the report from the Daily Beast. It says Saturday, Saturday Night Live's weekend update had

00:36:09.680 a lot of ground to cover this week, especially given that Ice Cube, a celebrity whom Kenan

00:36:13.460 Thompson has perfectly impersonated before, lost out on a, uh, nine million dollar acting gig in the

00:36:18.520 Sony, Sony comedy, Oh Hell No, because he refused to get vaccinated. Okay, but who cares? Um, skipping

00:36:23.800 ahead. It says the real standout was, and this is an article that's, they're very much impressed with

00:36:28.980 this bit. They're taking a positive view of it. The real standout was Goober, a clown played by

00:36:33.640 Cecilie Strong and styled to look a lot like Lunette from the children's series, The Big Comfy Couch.

00:36:39.220 The reason for her appearance, to respond to the stringent Texan law that effectively bans abortion 0.73

00:36:44.160 after six weeks, because just one day before she turned 23, she had a clown abortion. So that's the 0.62

00:36:51.380 character. She is a clown who had an abortion, and, um, this is supposed to be funny. Let's watch a little 0.98

00:36:58.960 bit and find out if it is. The Supreme Court heard arguments this week in Women's Whole Health 1.00

00:37:04.840 v. Texas about the controversial Texas law that essentially bans all abortions after just six

00:37:10.080 weeks. Here to cheer us up, well, this can't be right, Goober the Clown, who had an abortion when

00:37:15.560 she was 23. Hey, hey, hey, I'm Goober the Clown. So, Goober, you had an abortion when you were 23?

00:37:25.020 Hey, whoa, slow down. I'm a clown. Let's clown around. Hey, smell this flower. You're not going to 1.00

00:37:30.900 squirt me, are you? Oh, I would never. Okay. Oh, gotcha, gotcha. I had an abortion the day before my 23rd

00:37:38.580 birthday. Okay. It, it seems like you do want to talk about your abortion. Well, actually, I really

00:37:44.660 don't, but people keep bringing it up, so I got to keep talking about freaking abortion, but it's a 0.99

00:37:49.660 rough subject, so we're going to do fun clown stuff to make it more palatable. Whee! Hey, who wants a 0.88

00:37:56.520 balloon animal? You want a giraffe? Jay? You don't have to do this, Cecily. Cecily, I'm Goober, and I wish I

00:38:06.540 didn't have to do this, because the abortion I had at 23 is my personal clown business, but that's all 0.75

00:38:11.940 some people in this country want to discuss all the time, even though clown abortion was legalized

00:38:17.000 in Clown v. Wade in 1973 here. Hmm. I mean, as always with SNL, the most offensive thing about it

00:38:27.100 by far is that it's supposed to be a comedy show, and it's just not funny at all. I, it's certainly,

00:38:34.060 I'd have to acknowledge, there's a real challenge when you're trying to make a funny joke about the

00:38:39.200 slaughter of 60 million children. That's not an easy thing to do. I'm not sure that there are any

00:38:44.000 funny jokes you can make about it, but that definitely wasn't it. Um, and in, you know,

00:38:52.840 we hear from, from the, from the Goober, the Clown, and this is what we always hear. This is the,

00:38:59.120 the line we always hear from pro-abortion, especially the feminists. Well, I don't want to talk about,

00:39:03.220 why do you guys keep talking about abortion? No, but, but you, you do want to talk about it.

00:39:07.920 That's all feminists ever do is talk about their abortions. Like they want, they walk through the 1.00

00:39:11.200 street shouting, I got an abortion, everyone. I got an abortion. Let me tell you about my abortion.

00:39:17.840 But then as always, if you say, well, you know, I really don't think you should have got that

00:39:21.240 abortion. That's not a good thing. Why are you talking about my abortion? This is my business.

00:39:24.900 Why are you so obsessed with it? Why are you obsessed with my body?

00:39:27.540 I'm not even, I'm not sure even what point they were, were trying to reach here because

00:39:35.580 I take two points away from it, from this bit. One, the most direct thing, the most obvious

00:39:40.860 implication here is that abortion advocates are clowns. And I agree with that. Um, but then there's 0.99

00:39:48.040 also, you know, what you find here is this kind of classic image of the, uh, you know, the,

00:39:55.240 the tears of the clown, right? The clown who puts on this kind of wacky persona and they

00:40:00.240 put the wig on, they put the nose on and everything, but they're hiding their deep despair. That's 0.87

00:40:04.280 the classic image of, of the clown. And that is in fact, what lots of post-abortive women 1.00

00:40:11.660 do, especially post-abortive women who are shouting their abortions, the feminists, the probe, 0.99

00:40:18.860 the abortion advocates. Okay. You spend any time around, you go to a conference of, of, you

00:40:25.840 know, a feminist conference, Planned Parenthood or something. I wouldn't recommend it, but

00:40:32.280 you're going to find nothing but the, but goober the clown there, a bunch of goobers running 1.00

00:40:36.360 around, all of them talking about how great it is that they got an abortion, how happy they 0.96

00:40:42.520 are about their abortions. Isn't it so wonderful? But this is an act of massive overcompensation.

00:40:53.800 They're trying to hide the, the deep despair and loneliness that they feel.

00:41:00.740 So is that, was that the point? Is that what they were? I don't think that's what they were

00:41:06.560 reaching for, but that's, it's actually a very good point. And in some ways, it's kind

00:41:12.680 of a powerful bit, but in exactly the opposite way that they intended. Abortion advocates are 0.54

00:41:19.780 clowns in general. And yes, this is what, this is what a lot of these feminists do. They've 1.00

00:41:26.800 got the, you know, it's kind of like the, the, the classic meme that you see online of

00:41:30.800 the guy holding up the smiley mask, but behind it, he's crying. That's, that's it right

00:41:35.260 there. That's, that is feminism, especially feminism when it comes to abortion advocacy. 1.00

00:41:45.800 Because there's really no way, despite how they try to fool themselves and the rationalizations

00:41:51.640 that they come up with, you know, there's, there's just nobody who, especially as they

00:41:59.960 get older and they get to the end of their life, I can tell you this, there's not a single

00:42:04.200 feminist on their deathbed who had an abortion or one or two or three or five abortions or

00:42:10.180 whatever, who's going to be lying there on their deathbed and saying, oh man, I am so

00:42:14.760 glad I got that abortion. Thank God I got that abortion. Thank God I'm not leaving any progeny

00:42:19.140 behind. Thank God I'm leaving no legacy. Thank God I'm laying here alone with no one to mourn

00:42:25.720 me because the only people who would have mourned me, I killed. I can guarantee you there's

00:42:32.060 not one single feminist saying that. That's all. It's always a good litmus test. It's a 1.00

00:42:41.720 good way to decide if you're making the right choice or not is to just imagine, okay, I make

00:42:47.460 this choice 50 years from now or 60 years from now, hopefully if it's that long and I'm laying

00:42:52.820 on my deathbed, am I going to be happy about this choice that I'm making right now? And

00:42:58.880 if the answer is obviously no, then probably not a good choice to make. You know, there's

00:43:08.300 a lot of women who have, and it's certainly in the future, just generations of women who 1.00

00:43:14.560 are going to die alone with no one to love them, leaving no legacy behind, leaving no

00:43:20.860 imprint on the world at all. It's pretty sad. I'd say that is a very sad thing. All right,

00:43:28.700 let's finally finish with this a little bit, a little bit more lighthearted. This is from

00:43:33.240 the Daily Mail. It says, this is the report anyway. Again, I report, you decide, okay? It

00:43:40.600 says, he's supposed to be committed to reducing emissions, but when President Joe Biden produced

00:43:44.860 a little natural gas of his own at the COP26 summit, it was audible enough to make the Duchess

00:43:50.560 of Cornwall blush. An informed source has told the Mail on Sunday that Camilla was taken aback

00:43:57.400 to hear Biden break wind as they made polite small talk at the global climate change gathering

00:44:02.740 last week. The source said, quote, it was long and loud and impossible to ignore. Camilla hasn't

00:44:09.220 stopped talking about it. So, you know, I don't, I don't know what's going on. It's almost

00:44:14.680 like we, it's almost like there's a 78 year old man in office. I'm not sure, but he's, this

00:44:19.400 guy, according to the reports anyway, he's, he's just and farting all over Europe. It's a

00:44:27.440 real problem here, especially with, you know, with, with pollution being the problem, being,

00:44:34.300 being as bad as it is. He's, he has crop dusted all of Europe. What, what's, what's happening?

00:44:44.800 Well, again, I know what's happening. He's a, he's an old man and there's no way like there's

00:44:50.880 no, there's no, and I'm just trying to imagine, first of all, I need to know more about this.

00:44:54.680 Okay. Because even in the Daily Mail report, I read the whole report with great interest and

00:44:59.720 then it kind of moves on and it talks about the climate change. It doesn't, it doesn't give

00:45:02.420 us any more information. I need to know more because Joe Biden is standing there allegedly

00:45:07.740 and he lets out this massive fart that goes on for minutes. Apparently does, is there a

00:45:13.780 pause in the conversation or does he blow through it and keep talking, pretending that it's not

00:45:19.480 happening? Is there any acknowledgement of the fart after the fact? It sounds like he does

00:45:26.900 this a lot. You know, hopefully he's, he's kind of got accustomed. He knows what, what tactics

00:45:31.780 to use to distract from what's just happened. I don't know. A lot more information that

00:45:36.680 we need, but this, this just makes us proud as Americans, doesn't it? No, one, one weekend

00:45:45.580 he poops his pants in front of the Pope. Allegedly the very next weekend he's farting in front

00:45:52.060 of the Duchess of Cornwall of all people. Makes me very proud to be an American. All right.

00:45:58.140 Now time for the comment section.

00:46:08.600 Jim says, I'd like Matt to acknowledge that he occupied stolen land in Loudoun County

00:46:14.720 in that lady's basement. That's that land was not stolen. That was, that was given to

00:46:18.300 me fair and square. So there will be no land acknowledgement for, from me in reference

00:46:23.280 to Loudoun County. Ethan says, Matt is definitely the type to text back K and not think anything

00:46:28.180 of it. Um, I would never do that. I would spell it out. Well, I would, okay. You know, the

00:46:31.880 letter O and then K. I don't, I don't, uh, cause I, I don't, I don't speak that way. Okay.

00:46:36.760 I text the way that I speak. So I'm not going to say to someone, K, I'll say this whole thing,

00:46:43.200 but I'll certainly will, we'll have no problem with that. I'll just text back. Oh, that's what

00:46:47.020 I like about text messages. I'll do the same thing with emails too. All the time. I'll respond

00:46:51.600 to an email. Yeah. Cause if the email is a question, Hey, you know, Matt, I hope you're

00:46:56.200 doing well. I hope this and that, and how are your kids doing? And by the way, here's

00:46:59.060 my question. My answer back will be, uh, yeah. Or no. End of, end of email. Send. Because

00:47:07.480 that's the whole advantage of email and texting is that I don't need to do any of that small

00:47:11.040 talk. Um, Mark says, Matt, I was thinking you should get a second dog. So yours has a buddy

00:47:19.400 to play with. No, that's, that's, that's the last thing that we need. You know, we're

00:47:24.100 actually having a problem with the, with the dog. At least it's a problem for me. I'm

00:47:27.840 going to throw this out there. If there's any dog whispers, this is a serious thing.

00:47:30.600 There's any dog whispers in the audience. Maybe you can give me your, your insight. So

00:47:34.060 the issue is, I think I mentioned this like a month ago that we get, we, you know, we got

00:47:37.600 the dog, we adopted the dog and then we had the dog for three days and then I went away

00:47:41.440 for a week. Um, and I came back and every time I walk in the room, the dog would bark

00:47:47.900 at me because it's like he bonded with his pack and I'm, and I wasn't in the pack. And

00:47:52.900 now we're, it's a month later has not changed. So my wife started saying, well, maybe you

00:47:57.580 need to feed the dog and give him treats. And you know, so you're constantly groveling

00:48:01.520 and sucking up to this mangy beast in the house. And I said, you know what? I'm, I'm so tired 0.99

00:48:06.040 of getting barked at. I will do that. So I feed the dog. I get him treats. Come here,

00:48:10.000 little boy. Here's your, here's your, here's your treat. And, um, maybe I'm being sarcastic

00:48:14.980 about it and that's probably maybe he's picking up on that. I don't know, but it hasn't changed.

00:48:19.160 It's actually gotten worse. Every time I walk into a room now, he barks. It's like he has

00:48:22.760 not, I'm, I have not earned my place in the pack in my own house. Um, so if anyone has

00:48:31.960 any, in all seriousness, if anyone, cause it's ruining my life. So if you have any suggestions

00:48:35.440 on what to do about that, let me know. Tracy says, I'm sitting here dumbfounded as to how

00:48:39.640 people could just know someone for three hours and do that. Hookups are an insane practice 1.00

00:48:44.620 referring back to the Dave Portnoy thing. Um, yeah, hookup culture. Well, you, but you know

00:48:49.740 something, Tracy, the fact that you would not want to be sexually active with someone who

00:48:55.860 you just met and have known for three hours that now puts you, that's, that's its own sexuality.

00:49:03.440 I think that's what they call demisexuality. Now you're a demisexual. Did you know that 0.99

00:49:07.040 if you prefer to have a, you know, some kind of emotional involvement with someone at least

00:49:13.780 to, to know something about them, if that's even bare, let alone, you want to be married first.

00:49:21.420 Now we call it, now that is a, you've got your own letter in the LGBT alphabet. You're a demisexual, 0.93

00:49:25.760 whether you want it or not, you know, that, that has become, that used to be where you're a normal,

00:49:30.760 healthy person, but now that's just one variation. That's one sexual variation among millions and

00:49:39.120 they're all equal. Um, Jack says, Matt, after seeing your most recent anniversary, anniversary

00:49:46.920 slash vacation photos, has it occurred to you that the only retort necessary to defeat all of your

00:49:51.400 internet adversaries is, have you seen my wife? I went, um, yeah, I do. I, you know, I, I do have

00:49:59.380 a very attractive wife, which, which I do think, but I try not to use that in arguments because it 1.00

00:50:04.720 would be weird to do, but I do think that sometimes. Um, and, uh, let's see. Yo, yo, yo says, I feel your

00:50:13.220 pain, Matt. I bought my girlfriend a nice bottle of white wine and she poured seven up into it. 0.99

00:50:17.800 I was literally speechless. Poured seven up in the, is that even, is that a thing that people do?

00:50:25.660 That to me seems like a breakup offense. You know, my wife, we're married. The fact that she

00:50:32.380 wasted my very nice bourbon by putting in tea, that's the, that's the kind of thing you work

00:50:36.040 through. We're going to counseling for it right now. Um, but seven up in wine to me, especially it's,

00:50:43.220 it's early on. That's kind of like a red flag. I already, you know, I've, I've been with my wife for

00:50:46.940 10 years. I know that this was a momentary lapse of judgment. Normally she has a great amount of

00:50:51.300 respect for whiskey. She would never normally do that. So I have all of that background,

00:50:56.660 but if you're just dating someone and they're pouring seven up in their white wine,

00:51:01.500 I hate to say, but I think that's, I think that you got to cut that rope. I hate to say,

00:51:07.860 as you heard last week, the daily wire made one of the biggest announcements it will ever make that

00:51:11.280 it's filing a lawsuit against the federal government. This is an unprecedented move for the daily

00:51:15.600 wire, but staring down the face of an increasingly authoritarian president leaves no other options.

00:51:19.680 Our senile leader has ordered that large employers must require their employees to

00:51:23.620 get vaccinated against COVID or submit to regular testing. The daily wires lawsuit was filed by the

00:51:28.200 Dylan law group and Alliance defending freedom. They do a lot of great work and they're helping

00:51:32.380 us with this in the U S court of appeals for the sixth circuit. The lawsuit alleges that the Biden

00:51:35.900 administration lacks constitutional and statutory authority to issue the employer mandate, which

00:51:39.800 would seem they obviously do because look, this mandate is absolutely unconstitutional and we're not

00:51:45.180 standing for it here at the daily wire, but we need your help. If you want to stand up against this

00:52:32.980 our daily cancellation. Today we're going to cancel equality. And this has been a long time coming.

00:52:41.820 Equality has been asking for it. And now the moment has arrived. Of course, every day there's

00:52:45.620 some new lunacy concocted in the name of equality. You could just Google the word equality on any

00:52:50.220 given day and you'll be guaranteed to find a headline like this one. Here's just the most

00:52:53.300 recent example from the New York post. It says UK primary schools ask boys to wear skirts to promote

00:53:00.200 equality. Reading on, it says a grade school in Scotland asked male and female students and

00:53:04.880 teachers to wear skirts to class to promote equality. We want our school to be inclusive and promote

00:53:09.680 equality. An email from Castleview primary in Edinburgh said to parents, the daily mail reported

00:53:14.240 on Wednesday, boys as young as three years old were asked to participate by wearing a skirt.

00:53:20.380 Uh, it says we're keen to spread the message that clothes don't have a gender and that we should all

00:53:24.400 be free to express ourselves as we choose. Teachers wrote in a message to parents according to the

00:53:28.520 outlet. Now equality here is just the cover story as is so often the case. An adult who asks a little

00:53:34.940 boy to put on a skirt has no doubt other intentions and motivations. He's probably a pedophile is what 0.64

00:53:41.060 I'm trying to say in case I wasn't being clear enough with the insinuation. But this is still one more 0.97

00:53:45.300 instance of the sort of madness that the West's obsession with equality has wrought. It seems to be

00:53:49.800 infecting schools, especially some school systems have done away with grading systems because of

00:53:54.400 equality. They've abolished gifted and talented programs in the name of equality. Equality has put an end to

00:53:58.980 most of the games we used to play in recess and gym class. Of course, equality is what has opened

00:54:04.840 the girls' bathroom to boys. Equality has wreaked havoc in education. And there's a reason why the 1.00

00:54:10.400 education system in particular is concerned with equality. We'll get to that in a minute. But this

00:54:15.080 extends far beyond education. Everywhere, our society is being restructured around the concept of

00:54:20.060 equality. And along with its dysgenic offspring, equity, tolerance, inclusion, all of them, all kind of

00:54:26.700 related. Currently, the Equality Act is working its way through Congress, a piece of legislation which

00:54:31.460 seeks to legally abolish once and for all the biological differences between the sexes. But

00:54:36.780 those differences cannot be abolished. So instead, we will simply be forbidden from noticing or

00:54:41.780 acknowledging or in any way acting upon or in response to those differences. So overall, it's clear

00:54:47.500 that we are an equality-obsessed culture. Before we talk about why equality obsession is bad,

00:54:52.800 it should be, I think it would be illuminating and useful to discuss why the obsession exists in the

00:54:58.020 first place. Where did it come from? You know, why are this, society's past, you go through human

00:55:04.480 history, you didn't have this. But why for us? Why are we so obsessed with equality? That's a large

00:55:12.860 question, not one that I can answer completely during this segment. But here are two major factors.

00:55:16.600 First, we are a self-obsessed, narcissistic culture. And equality, ironically, is a major concern of

00:55:24.560 self-obsessed, narcissistic people. Because they wield equality as a negative force. They're

00:55:30.060 constantly worried that other people are advancing beyond them, succeeding more than them, getting

00:55:34.120 more out of life. And so they call for equality as a means to chop everybody back down to their

00:55:39.200 level. You'll notice that so often the person calling for equality is not calling for others to be

00:55:44.220 raised up to his level, but for everyone to be lowered down to his level. Equality is kind of a

00:55:49.960 weed whack or cutting the blades of grass that grow higher than the rest. And it's often the lower

00:55:54.360 blades pointing to the higher ones and saying, get him, cut him down to size. It's not fair that he's

00:55:59.620 growing faster and higher than me. We know that leftism is the religion of self-worship. It's an ideology

00:56:05.120 of narcissism. And so it's no surprise that a society dominated by leftism would also be preoccupied with

00:56:10.560 equality, with especially negative equality of this kind. The second factor can be found on the

00:56:16.160 other end of the spectrum. It kind of approaches from the opposite direction. While equality is

00:56:20.820 very often a tool used by narcissistic losers to prevent others from succeeding, it can also be

00:56:25.580 born from confused and misplaced empathy. Like I said, this is kind of the opposite thing here.

00:56:31.940 This is where much of the equality in the school system originates. Not the Scottish kids wearing 0.99

00:56:35.500 skirts. As I said, that's just pervert teachers using equality as a cover. But the erasing of grades,

00:56:39.920 the abolition of playground games, the abolition of gifted and talented programs and so on,

00:56:45.360 that is all at least partly misdirected empathy. And you find it in the school system so prominently

00:56:52.040 because the school system is run by women. Okay, this is the part that Media Matters is going to 1.00

00:56:56.580 love. So make sure you click this part, guys. Equality is in many ways a feminine virtue. It's a 1.00

00:57:02.580 woman's virtue. It's something women tend to care about much more than men. Women are more worried 0.99

00:57:08.380 about making sure that things are fair, that things are equal, that nobody feels bad about

00:57:13.960 themselves, and nobody gets hurt emotionally or physically. That's something that women tend to 1.00

00:57:18.600 be concerned about much more than men. Men are more competitive. They're more results-oriented.

00:57:25.300 They're much more likely to take a, you know, may the best man win approach. But as men are driven

00:57:30.260 more and more out of education, this voice, the voice that says to the crying child who got his nose

00:57:36.500 bloodied during dodgeball, hey, rub some dirt on it, you'll be fine. Now get back out there and try

00:57:40.600 to win the next round. That voice has been almost entirely silenced. Now a kid gets his nose bloodied

00:57:47.300 playing dodgeball, and so we say, no more dodgeball for anybody. It's over. Now we have a system where

00:57:53.740 there's almost no competition, no harshness at all, no toughness, no winners or losers. Kids are coddled,

00:58:00.220 they're mothered, they're pampered, and they're not remotely prepared for the realities of life.

00:58:04.340 It's not just in the education system. As men are minimized more and more, replaced,

00:58:08.060 driven out of positions of leadership and so on, all that means is that our society will be

00:58:11.900 increasingly revolving around feminine concerns like equality, tolerance, inclusion. You find this

00:58:18.020 in parenting as well. You know, you need the balance in parenting. You have the mother who typically is,

00:58:23.640 again, going to be very concerned about making sure things are fair. It's going to be the much more

00:58:28.320 empathetic voice and you need that. That's very important. But you also need the masculine fatherly

00:58:34.080 voice that embraces competition, that embraces risk-taking. You know, that the kid scrapes their

00:58:42.860 knee and he's not going to run over immediately. He's going to say, no, get back. You don't need to

00:58:48.160 cry about that. You'll be fine. Get back out there. Children need both. But increasingly, as men, 0.76

00:58:56.040 as we have fatherless homes and families where there's no masculine presence, kids don't have 0.94

00:59:03.560 that balance. So why is it a problem? You know, what's wrong with equality? Well, the problem with

00:59:09.400 equality is that it's a fiction. It's a mythology. There is no equality in the world. The only place

00:59:14.520 where equality is supposed to exist is in the legal system. Okay, we're supposed to all be equal under

00:59:20.160 the law, meaning that nobody is granted special treatment or favors. But even there, it's still really

00:59:24.220 a fiction. We do not have a legal system that treats everybody equally and we never have and we

00:59:29.160 probably never will. It is at best a theoretically attainable ideal in the legal system. We're probably

00:59:36.160 never going to get there, but we should try. I agree with that. Outside of that realm, equality

00:59:41.960 neither exists nor is it attainable nor desirable because everyone is different. Everything is different.

00:59:48.820 You will not find two apples in a barrel that are the same or two grains of sand on a beach,

00:59:53.980 much less two people. Take two people at random and compare them and one will be uglier, fatter, 0.90

01:00:00.080 dumber, less virtuous, less creative, less generous, etc. Hopefully all of those lesser qualities will 0.99

01:00:04.640 not be found in the same person, but you never know. We're all a mixed bag and for some of us,

01:00:09.140 the mixture is better than others. This is all undeniable. The advocates for an equal society,

01:00:15.200 a society where sameness is opposed upon us from the top, from people who are themselves above us,

01:00:20.380 unequal, by the way, these advocates know that we're not really equal, yet they argue that we

01:00:25.740 should live as though we are. Our system should be built upon the false assumption of equality.

01:00:32.400 Equality is a story that they tell and they insist that we live as though the story is true, 1.00

01:00:36.600 even though we know it isn't. In the most extreme kind of example, you know, you've got like a man who

01:00:41.700 identifies as a woman and harasses and harangues lesbians who don't want to sleep with him.

01:00:46.500 He'll say that he's equal to the same as biological women and so they ought to be attracted to him 0.99

01:00:50.380 the same way that they're attracted to other women. But they're not because equality is a story.

01:00:55.700 It's a stage play and the equality advocate demands that everybody play their part, go along

01:01:00.540 with the script, even if it's all fictional. So that's my issue with equality when you boil it down.

01:01:05.740 It's a lie. We're not equal. We weren't really created equal either, with all due respect to

01:01:11.360 Thomas Jefferson. We're equal in a very abstract and spiritual sense, in the sense that we all

01:01:15.200 have dignity and worth as human beings, sure. But outside of that, we were created very unequal,

01:01:20.560 very different, with vastly different qualities, characteristics, traits, and abilities.

01:01:23.760 And thank God for that. Imagine how boring and dismal and pointless life would be if everyone you

01:01:30.760 encountered was merely a carbon copy of yourself. Imagine if there was no one better than you on

01:01:35.720 earth. No one to look up to or admire. No role models. That's the leftist utopian vision. But the

01:01:43.320 vision is a nightmare. And it's not real. And never can be. And we should stop pretending that it is.

01:01:49.600 And that's why Equality Today is canceled. A segment that I'm sure will garner rave reviews. And

01:01:57.760 everybody will agree with me. And we'll leave it there for today. Thanks for watching. Thanks

01:02:01.720 for listening. Have a great day. Godspeed.

01:02:19.600 We're there. Also, be sure to check out the other Daily Wire podcasts, including the Ben Shapiro show,
