The Matt Walsh Show - Ep. 845 - They Will Never Tell The Truth About The Waukesha Massacre

00:00:00.000 Today on The Matt Walsh Show, a day after a serial felon and career criminal mowed down

00:00:04.040 dozens of people at a Christmas parade, Democrats are out in public calling for

00:00:07.500 more criminals to be released into our communities. Meanwhile, the killer was a BLM 1.00

00:00:11.380 supporter apparently, and apparently a racist who carried out his attack an hour from Kenosha,

00:00:16.100 two days after the Rittenhouse verdict. Will we ever be told the truth about his motives? And

00:00:20.340 New York goes nuclear in the war on history, taking down a 200-year-old Thomas Jefferson statue

00:00:25.680 and removing a Theodore Roosevelt statue from a museum. You have to hear the reason they gave

00:00:30.260 for this decision. It's almost impossible to believe. Plus, Kyle Rittenhouse talks to Tucker

00:00:34.380 Carlson, Condoleezza Rice calls for more female coaches in the NFL, and Joe Biden claims that

00:00:39.160 there's an epidemic of anti-trans hate crimes. Is that true? No, it isn't, but we'll discuss that

00:00:44.860 and more today on The Matt Walsh Show.

00:00:55.680 Well, Black Friday is coming up, and it's one of the biggest shopping days of the year,

00:00:59.560 obviously, but that also means it's one of the biggest opportunities for scammers. Some of the

00:01:03.540 most common scams include buying a gift online that never arrives, sellers demanding payments

00:01:07.780 with gift cards, fake shopping websites, and fake delivery notifications. These are all things that

00:01:12.060 you potentially encounter when you're online on Black Friday. So it's important to understand how

00:01:17.340 cybercrime and identity theft are affecting our lives. Every day we put our information at risk on the

00:01:21.220 internet. In an instant, a cybercriminal could steal what's yours, sometimes even harm your finances,

00:02:06.160 Say what you want about the Democrats, and there's plenty you can say, almost all of it bad,

00:02:10.680 but at least they always stay on message. And I mean, always. And that didn't change yesterday after

00:02:16.660 the massacre in Waukesha, where a serial felon, career criminal, previously convicted of crimes

00:02:22.300 ranging from bail jumping to child rape, domestic abuse, and so on, currently out on what the DA now

00:02:28.380 admits was inappropriately low bail, plowed his car intentionally into a Christmas parade and murdered

00:02:33.640 five people, seriously injuring many more, including children. And yet, in spite of this

00:02:40.760 event, or maybe because of it, Representative Alexandria Quezor-Cortez thought that yesterday,

00:02:45.760 of all days, would be the best and most appropriate time to send a letter to five district attorneys

00:02:50.640 in New York criticizing, quote, excessive bail. She tweeted yesterday, quote,

00:02:56.540 Today we sent a letter with Representative Maloney and Representative Raskin to New York City's five

00:03:01.500 district attorneys requesting information on excessive bail in the New York City court system.

00:03:06.960 When prosecutors seek excessive cash bail, it results in increased rates of incarceration,

00:03:12.120 particularly for low-income defendants. More than 75% of individuals in custody haven't been

00:03:17.220 convicted of a crime and are confined in unsafe conditions simply because they cannot afford cash

00:03:22.660 bail. Condemning thousands of individuals to languish in such environments as they await trial

00:03:27.800 is unacceptable. Well, what's better, Ms. Cortez, that they languish in jail or that they plow through 0.79

00:03:34.260 a Christmas parade and run over a bunch of small children? Which outcome is more acceptable to you

00:03:40.120 on balance? Don't answer that. What's more important, to protect the physical safety of

00:03:45.940 innocent civilians or to cater to the emotional needs of violent criminals? We'll get back to that

00:03:51.700 question in a moment. But first, here's something from AOC's fellow squad goblin, Rashida Tlaib. She did

00:03:57.560 an interview on Axios this week where she talked about her plan to release all of the inmates from

00:04:03.320 federal prison. All of them. Not a joke. That's a thing she actually wants to do. Let's listen to

00:04:09.380 that. In 2020, you endorsed the BREATHE Act, which is a series of proposals to transform America's

00:04:17.280 criminal justice system and create, quote, a roadmap for prison abolition. The BREATHE Act proposes

00:04:24.340 emptying federal detention facilities within 10 years. To what extent have you wrestled with

00:04:31.060 any potential downsides of releasing into society every single person who's currently in a federal 0.82

00:04:37.840 prison? Yeah. Again, I think that everyone's like, oh my God, we're going to just release

00:04:42.020 everybody. That's not what I'm... That's what the... Yeah, but did you see how many people are mentally

00:04:46.120 ill that are in prison right now? No, I know, but the act that you endorsed actually says release

00:04:51.200 everyone in 10 years. But in 10 years, but think about it, who are releasing... But there are like

00:04:55.340 human traffickers... Oh, I know. ...child sex... So, but you're saying, do you mean that you don't 0.99

00:05:00.000 actually support that? No. Because you endorsed the bill. No, I endorsed the BREATHE Act and looking at

00:05:04.140 federal, the policies and how we incarcerate, absolutely. But it says in there... But you cannot,

00:05:09.140 you cannot, you cannot just blankedly say, oh, look, she wants... That's not what I'm... But that's

00:05:13.940 like in plain text. There are human traffickers. Oh, I know. Just silly human traffickers. I mean,

00:05:20.140 come on. Who have they ever hurt? Notice something. In order to defend her plan to release violent 1.00

00:05:25.920 criminals from federal prison, she assures us that most of them are also crazy. This is a defense of 0.88

00:05:32.660 the plan. This is supposed to make us feel better. Hey, don't worry about the psychopathic child rapist

00:05:37.680 and murderer moving in next door. He's just crazy. Okay, sleep tight. This BREATHE Act monstrosity, 1.00

00:05:45.000 by the way, not only abolishes federal prisons and dumps its contents back into society, but also

00:05:51.080 abolishes the death penalty, of course, and abolishes life sentences. There'd be no more life sentences.

00:05:57.260 That would mean that no matter what a person does, no matter what crime they commit,

00:06:01.720 they would be guaranteed to end up back in our communities after marinating in a stew 0.94

00:06:06.700 with other violent felons for several years or decades. Now, you may take solace in the fact

00:06:13.340 that we're perhaps a little ways away from the point where a bill like this can actually be passed.

00:06:18.660 But if you want to know what it will look like when we get there, you need only look towards the

00:06:23.220 Democrat-run cities across the country. They are the petri dish, the laboratory where democratic social

00:06:28.640 experiments are conducted. I mean, if you live in one of these cities, then you are part of a vast

00:06:34.080 human experiment, and you are a test subject in that experiment. The result is, you know, 50 people

00:06:41.920 run over in Wisconsin, a skyrocketing street violence all across the country, organized flash

00:06:49.540 gangs of looters emptying department store shelves in places like San Francisco. This is the democratic

00:06:55.720 vision, their utopian ideal. It should be clear by now, and should have been clear long ago,

00:07:00.800 that the push for criminal justice reform is not fueled by compassion, even a misguided compassion.

00:07:09.440 Because compassion literally means co-suffering, co-passion, to suffer alongside someone else.

00:07:18.180 When you have compassion for someone, you take on their suffering to help alleviate it. You help carry

00:07:23.680 their cross. But the people who send violent criminals into our neighborhoods, they have quite clearly

00:07:29.920 no concern for human suffering at all. Their goals are ideological and political. And for them,

00:07:36.100 the political outweighs everything. All other concerns are outweighed by the political. And

00:07:41.580 they're willing to let countless people suffer and die. Countless innocents fall prey to violence in

00:07:47.060 order to achieve their political and ideological ends. It is, in every way, the opposite of compassion.

00:07:53.640 If you're truly compassionate, and it's a good thing to be compassionate, that is, you're truly

00:08:00.480 concerned with alleviating human suffering, and that's what a compassionate person is worried about,

00:08:07.260 then the sort of criminal justice reform you would advocate is the sort that puts more violent

00:08:12.780 criminals in prison and keeps them there for longer. That's the reform we need, as is painfully

00:08:19.600 obvious by now. That's what Republicans should be advocating for. I'm not interested in any

00:08:25.080 Republican who jumps on board the criminal justice reform bandwagon, at least criminal justice reform

00:08:31.640 as it is seen by the left, who adopts the leftist view of the sort of reform we need in the criminal

00:08:39.980 justice system. And there are a lot of Republicans who have jumped on that bandwagon, to include Donald

00:08:44.540 Trump. No, the reform we need is that we're going to take violent, dangerous people and put them in a

00:08:52.680 cage away from the innocent people, away from our children and our wives, and keep them there for a 1.00

00:09:00.480 long time, if not forever. But getting back to the specific case in Waukesha, we know why the assailant,

00:09:08.800 Daryl Brooks, was on the street. We know that, you know, he should not have been there. But there's

00:09:15.180 still a question of why he did what he did. Their narrative from the media is that Brooks was fleeing

00:09:20.780 the scene of another crime, but police held a press conference yesterday where they clarified

00:09:25.060 that he was not being pursued. He was not actively fleeing anything. Listen to that.

00:09:31.040 At 4.39 p.m. on Sunday, November 21st of 2021, a lone subject intentionally drove his maroon SUV

00:09:40.720 through barricades into a crowd of people that was celebrating the Waukesha Christmas parade,

00:09:47.000 which resulted in killing five individuals and injuring 48 additional individuals. I just received

00:09:55.860 information that two of the 48 are children and they're in critical condition. We have information

00:10:04.340 that the suspect prior to the incident was involved in a domestic disturbance, which was just minutes

00:10:09.920 prior. And the suspect left that scene just prior to our arrival to the domestic disturbance.

00:10:17.860 When the suspect was driving through into the crowd, one officer did discharge his firearm and fired shots

00:10:30.600 at the suspect to stop the threat, but due to the amount of people, had to stop and fire no, did not fire

00:10:41.700 any other additional shots. The officer is on administrative leave as part of the department

00:10:48.200 protocol. No one was injured as a result of the officer firing, uh, his discharging his fire weapon

00:10:53.620 firearm. The subject was taken into custody a short distance from the scene, and we are confident he acted

00:10:59.900 alone. There is no evidence that this is a terrorist incident. No evidence of a terrorist incident.

00:11:07.660 So it was intentional. Obviously he wasn't fleeing from anything, which was also obvious.

00:11:14.320 I said that yesterday before the police officer there confirmed it. Uh, clearly this was not someone

00:11:20.060 who was trying to evade the police by driving through a parade. Okay. That's not what you do when

00:11:25.580 you're trying to escape the cops. And yet they can still declare less than 24 hours after the attack

00:11:31.560 that it wasn't politically or racially motivated. How isn't the attack itself evidence of a terrorist

00:11:37.560 attack? I mean, what's the evidence of a terrorist attack? I don't know the attack. He drove through

00:11:43.100 a parade. The fact that he intentionally plowed his car into a parade and killed and injured dozens

00:11:47.280 of people. Isn't that at least evidence of a terrorist attack? We also know that Brooks had expressed

00:11:53.940 anti-white and pro-BLM views on his social media pages, apparently, and in his rap songs. We know that 0.81

00:12:01.280 this attack was carried out less than an hour from Kenosha, two days after the not guilty verdict.

00:12:05.380 Not only is there evidence of a racially and politically motivated terrorist attack here,

00:12:09.740 but that is the most reasonable assumption at this point. And assumptions may be all we ever have.

00:12:17.080 As I said yesterday, this story will be stuffed down memory hole, just like Las Vegas. And that's

00:12:22.260 already happening because every aspect of this event, no matter the reason, no matter the motive,

00:12:29.040 every aspect of this event is toxic to the Democrat narrative. The only thing that makes it difficult

00:12:33.920 for them to really memory hole this thing is that Brooks is still alive. Perhaps that will change

00:12:40.240 too. Who knows? But we can be sure about one thing. They will never tell us the full truth about this

00:12:46.200 ever. Now let's get to our five headlines.

00:12:49.000 If you don't already have one, now is the time to get a reliable VPN like ExpressVPN. That's the top

00:13:02.500 one. That's the one to go with using the internet without ExpressVPN. It's like having a first aid

00:13:06.440 kit, but not keeping it stocked up. I mean, most of the time you'll probably be fine, but what if you

00:13:11.540 suddenly get in trouble and you need it? Then you're going to wish you had it. By then it's too late,

00:13:15.040 right? So get ExpressVPN. Now, every time you connect to an unencrypted network, cafes, hotels,

00:13:20.200 airports, any hacker on the same network can gain access to your personal data, passwords, financial

00:13:25.100 details, et cetera. It doesn't take much technical knowledge to hack someone. Just some cheap hardware

00:13:29.300 is needed and like a smart 12-year-old could do it. Your data is valuable. Hackers can make up to $1,000

00:13:35.200 per person selling personal information on the dark web. Why use ExpressVPN? Well, because you get an

00:13:41.940 encrypted tunnel. It creates a secure encrypted tunnel between your device and the internet.

00:13:46.820 Hackers are not able to steal your sensitive data. And also it's very secure. It'd take a hacker with

00:13:51.940 a supercomputer over a billion years to get past ExpressVPN's encryption. That's how secure it is.

00:13:57.020 So secure your online data today by visiting expressvpn.com slash Walsh. That's E-X-P-R-E-S-S-V-P-N.com

00:14:08.360 Uh, all right. I'm still, uh, you know, I, I, I think I've shared with you before

00:14:13.560 and it's hard for me to be vulnerable, but I hope you appreciate that at times I can be,

00:14:19.300 um, I can be vulnerable and I can reveal things about myself that are difficult to reveal. So,

00:14:24.200 so for example, look, I don't like spiders. I don't. Okay. I fear nothing in life except spiders.

00:14:30.000 That's the only thing. Um, and you know, maybe, maybe 10 or 15 other things, but mainly spiders.

00:14:36.420 I just, I, you know, I, to me, they, they look like, it's hard for me to even

00:14:42.560 come to terms with the fact that a loving God would create spiders. To me, they look like

00:14:49.380 beasts that escaped from hell at some point during creation. I'm not, I'm not proposing that. It's

00:14:54.640 not an actual theological theory on my part, but that's how they seem to me. Anyway, so we have,

00:14:59.520 uh, you know, like a, an infestation in our basement of, um, of wolf spiders. And so, uh,

00:15:05.580 two nights ago we went down there into like the basement, into like the creepiest part of the

00:15:09.620 basement where the spiders always are. And we had some, my wife and I were putting some traps down

00:15:13.720 to catch the spiders. And then my wife thought it'd be really funny. Um, while I was laying a trap down

00:15:18.720 to run out of the basement and, uh, turn the light off and then shut the door so that I was in pitch

00:15:24.300 black surrounded by the wolf spiders. That is not funny at all. And here's the thing.

00:15:31.400 And I, and I, I maintained my composure and it was okay. She thought it was hilarious.

00:15:37.200 This is the double standard that we understand as men, because here's what I know. I could never do

00:15:43.240 that. If I had ever done anything like that as a man, it, this, it would not be funny. We'd be in

00:15:49.740 marriage counseling for it. So, but you understand that that's, that's one of those,

00:15:53.880 as a, when you're married, you, you come to accept certain basic double standards.

00:15:59.020 You just have to. And I think this is probably one of them. All right. So I want to start with

00:16:03.140 this, just a quick update. Um, we've chronicled the fight over my event at, uh, SLU, St. Louis

00:16:10.200 University, which is, uh, it was supposed to be on December 1st. And they had the petition. They

00:16:13.360 were trying to stop me from coming and the administration, they were pulling all these

00:16:16.740 little dirty tricks behind the scene to try to, you know, all these things because they didn't want

00:16:20.580 me to come. And, um, I did receive word yesterday that the event will go forward as planned. So if

00:16:27.460 you live anywhere near St. Louis and you want to come on December 1st and see the event, you can,

00:16:32.440 um, you know, they had their petition. I had mine. We got up to about 20,000. I've, I've shut the

00:16:36.560 petition down. Now we got to almost 20,000 signatures and I've declared victory because

00:16:41.560 the event will happen. Here's, here's what it comes down to. Never get into, into a petition war

00:16:47.300 with the guy who raised a hundred grand for a boiler or who changed addresses so that I could

00:16:54.040 speak at a school board meeting in Virginia. Just don't, don't do that. And the thing is, even

00:16:59.200 it's probably for the best, maybe the university realized this, that you just let me do the event

00:17:04.940 because if you'd shut it down, I would have showed up there with a bullhorn. Okay. Here's what you have

00:17:10.300 to understand about me. I am very petty and extremely annoying. I know that about myself.

00:17:15.460 And it's, it's, it's, so it's best to just not do this. Leave my events, events alone. This is a,

00:17:22.400 this is for, for all future schools. It's not worth it. You're just bringing more attention to me.

00:17:30.060 I like the attention. I get even, I become even more insufferable when you do that. Best thing is

00:17:36.400 just let me do the event, leave it alone. I'll come and do it and that'll be it. All right. Good.

00:17:42.360 Um, next, this is from the Daily Wire. It says, and you, you just have to listen to this story too.

00:17:49.380 As I said, it's almost unbelievable. Some aspects of this story.

00:17:53.760 Okay. A statue of President Theodore Roosevelt will be relocated from the front of the American

00:17:59.100 Museum of Natural History. This is in New York, where it stood for more than 80 years.

00:18:04.780 The Theodore Roosevelt Presidential Library Foundation announced in a press release Friday

00:18:08.160 that the statue of the president, naturalist, and founder of the National Park Service will be

00:18:12.680 moved to Roosevelt's Presidential Library, which is set to open in 2026. Um, it says, uh, this is from

00:18:21.440 the statement. It reads the Theodore Roosevelt Presidential Library today announced that it

00:18:24.840 has entered into an agreement with the city of New York for the long-term loan and reconsideration

00:18:28.940 of the equestrian statue designed by James Earl Frazier, which was commissioned by the board of

00:18:33.800 trustees of the New York State Roosevelt Memorial in 1929. The statement then explained that the

00:18:39.440 reason for the relocation was because the statue was problematic. And then, and listen to this.

00:18:45.480 Okay. The board of TR Library believes the equestrian statue is problematic in its composition.

00:18:51.780 Moreover, its current location denies passers-by consent and context. The agreement with the city

00:18:59.840 allows the TR Library to relocate the statue for storage while considering a display, uh, that would

00:19:05.220 enable it to serve as an important tool to study our nation's past. Okay. The statue does not get

00:19:12.040 consent. It's problematic. Why is it problematic? Well, because, um, it's a, uh, Theodore Roosevelt is

00:19:19.840 on a, is on a, well, they never explain, I've actually read three articles about them moving this

00:19:24.760 statue. So I could maybe get a, a more fleshed out argument for what makes it problematic.

00:19:31.300 But all I've seen is just, it's problematic and we're left to guess what's problematic about it.

00:19:36.680 And I guess it's because Theodore Roosevelt is on a, is on a, uh, it's an equestrian statue. So he's on

00:19:41.680 a horse in the statue and he is flanked by two, uh, by, um, a native American man and an African man

00:19:48.860 who are walking alongside him. And pretty clearly there, they are, you know, guides as he is,

00:19:54.760 because he was an explorer among his many, um, accolades and titles. And so, and, and so it's,

00:20:01.180 it's pretty clear that's, that's the context of the statue. Why is that problematic? I mean,

00:20:05.880 it's, it's a historical depiction of a thing that really happened. A native American guide that they,

00:20:13.420 native Americans were excellent guides. Why is, is that it, is that an insult? Are we not supposed

00:20:20.020 to acknowledge that anymore? But gets consent. Let's, can we, can we home in on that for just a

00:20:29.040 moment? The statue does not get consent. It has, it, the statue has violated the consent of the people

00:20:37.400 passing by it. How exactly what a statue go about, uh, obtaining consent. So you can, here's what

00:20:46.940 we're being told now in New York. You can have your consent violated by an inanimate object.

00:20:53.960 This is what, like a form of, is this, is this like a form of sexual assault that the statue is,

00:20:58.820 uh, is guilty of because the statue didn't get consent. The statue did not get consent from you

00:21:07.000 before it decided to exist. If you come across an object that you don't want to see,

00:21:15.500 then your consent is violated. My God, this, the phrase beyond parody doesn't even begin to cover

00:21:24.200 this. I mean, we could say this is like something out of the Babylon Bee, but it's, it's, it's worse

00:21:28.920 than that. I mean, a year ago, if the Babylon Bee had, had put out a headline about how a statue was

00:21:36.120 being taken down because it violated consent, we, we, I probably wouldn't have laughed at it because

00:21:41.140 I would have said, well, that's a little bit too, you know, that's, that's a little, that,

00:21:44.900 you know, that's not very realistic. In order to be successful satire or parody, it has to be,

00:21:49.940 there has to be some, some realism to it, right? That's what makes it funny.

00:21:54.920 I probably would have said, well, that's, uh, that's a little too far out of left field.

00:21:58.280 Truly stranger than fiction, we can say. And I'm still wondering, how does a statue get consent?

00:22:07.940 And which statues need to obtain consent? And why just statues? I mean, why not all objects?

00:22:16.440 There are a great many objects that I'm forced to see that I find quite hideous and upsetting.

00:22:22.420 Every city in America that you go to now, they've got these, these, uh, the modern art,

00:22:29.040 if I can even call them art, monstrosities, just mangled jumbles of metal placed in the middle of

00:22:36.260 the town square. And I got to walk by that and I'm extremely annoyed. I find it even nauseating in

00:22:43.680 some way and slightly disturbing. I never get consent. No one, no one consulted me. The statue didn't

00:22:50.220 consult me. So maybe we need to post like signs every five feet for 10 miles leading up to the

00:22:58.720 statue, warning that the statue was coming. And then, and then more signs, like every, every, uh,

00:23:06.440 five feet for the next 10 miles after you pass by the statue with information for like counselors

00:23:13.000 in case you were traumatized by what you just saw. Is that what we need?

00:23:15.580 My God in heaven. And, and also this is in a museum, right? So remember what we've been told

00:23:26.520 is that, um, is that, well, no, this is not a war on history. We're taking down all these monuments

00:23:33.120 and statues and we're just, we're moving them to museums. Well, now the museums are getting rid of

00:23:38.840 them too. And now it's being sent to, to the, uh, Theodore Roosevelt library, which by the way is

00:23:44.380 not built yet and will be in North Dakota where like five people and a moose will see it. And the

00:23:52.280 Theodore Roosevelt library has said, they're probably going to change the statue. They're going to make

00:23:57.760 some alterations potentially to the statue before they put it on display for nobody to see in North

00:24:04.360 Dakota. Oh, but it's not a war on history, right? There's no slippery slope here. Meanwhile, this

00:24:12.780 is also in New York, um, same day. It says, uh, Thomas Jefferson, New York post says Thomas Jefferson

00:24:22.100 is no longer in the room where it happens. Art handlers packed up an 884 pound statue of Jefferson

00:24:28.040 in a wooden crate Monday after a mayoral commission voted to banish the likeness of the nation's third

00:24:33.820 president from city hall where it's resided for nearly two centuries because he owned slaves.

00:24:39.460 About a dozen workers with Marshall, uh, fine arts spent several hours carefully removing the

00:24:45.680 painted plaster monument from its pedestal inside the city council chamber and surrounding it with

00:24:49.980 sections of foam and wooden boards. Um, where is he going? He is going to, uh, he'll be on a long-term

00:24:57.180 loan to the New York historical society, which plans to have Jack Jefferson's model survive in its

00:25:03.480 lobby and reading room. No, we're just moving the statues to a museum. Oh no. Now we're just

00:25:09.420 moving them to a historical society. Oh, now we're just moving them to storage. Oh no. Now we're just

00:25:13.640 moving them to a dumpster, but the dumpster will make sure that they're, that they're respected there.

00:25:21.580 You know, uh, this is one, well, I always say, I hate to say I told you so, but we know that that's

00:25:28.700 not true. So I'll skip over that, that lie. I did tell you so on this. I wasn't the only one. A few

00:25:34.360 of us did. And just a few. I mean, I've been warning about this. You can, you can go fact check

00:25:41.300 me on Google. If you want four or five, six years, I've been writing about this, about how it was

00:25:46.180 going to, it was going to, we were going to get to this point. This is where we were headed.

00:25:49.280 The moment they started tearing down the Confederate statues, this was inevitable.

00:25:58.840 And, you know, now of course you can say that and everybody, at least on the right will agree with

00:26:03.480 you. But four years ago, five years ago, when they were getting rid of, uh, you know, of the Stonewall 1.00

00:26:10.880 Jackson and Robert E. Lee, um, monuments, if you had made that argument that, Hey, this is a war on

00:26:18.720 American history and they're going to come for the founders next. If you, when you made that

00:26:21.660 argument four or five years ago, you had a great many people, certainly everybody on the left and

00:26:25.760 even a lot of people on the right would attack you and say, this is a slippery slope fallacy.

00:26:30.780 It's not going to happen. It's not the same thing. How dare you draw a comparison?

00:26:38.280 Well, not to relive ancient history now, but

00:26:41.160 maybe it might be worthwhile to explain. Like, how did I know five years ago that it would get to

00:26:50.660 this point? Um, it's not because I have a crystal ball and it wasn't a lucky guess either.

00:26:57.220 So there's, there's two things. One is precedent. Okay. So all I had to do was listen

00:27:04.780 to what the people who were advocating tearing down the Confederate monuments, what reasons were

00:27:11.420 they giving? And the reasons were, these are, these are the two reasons they were traitors

00:27:18.380 and they supported slavery. Now there might be other reasons that you could potentially come up with to

00:27:26.500 get rid of some of these statues, but those were not the reasons that the people doing it were,

00:27:33.480 were providing for them. It was, they were traitors and they were, they supported slavery.

00:27:39.640 Well, it should be really obvious that, Oh, well, hold on a second. Traitors to their government, 0.93

00:27:44.240 you know, and, uh, and supported slavery. Well, the founding fathers, same thing, not exactly the

00:27:51.860 same situation, different situation. The revolutionary war is not the same as the civil war, but they,

00:27:57.980 they own slaves. So they supported slavery and they were traitors to the crown. If they had,

00:28:03.180 if the, if they had lost, if they had been the losers in the revolutionary war, they would have

00:28:07.120 been hung as traitors and remembered that way by history. And that's all, that's the precedent.

00:28:15.920 Now you can get into the nuances and draw distinctions. And there's plenty of nuanced

00:28:19.900 distinctions you can make, um, to differentiate Thomas Jefferson from Robert E. Lee.

00:28:24.780 But those two basic things apply to both. And so it wasn't hard to connect the dots and say, well,

00:28:33.920 if this is the reason they're giving, then here we go.

00:28:37.140 And really we could put the traitor thing aside because that's, that's, that's, that's was,

00:28:43.240 was really, you know, a secondary complaint about the people from the people tearing down

00:28:48.720 the Confederate statues really was all about slavery, right? And well, if, if that's it,

00:28:55.240 then everybody's coming down. And if it's not just slavery, but racism in general,

00:29:01.440 than, than, than ever, almost everyone in history who was born prior to, you know, about 40 years ago

00:29:09.060 or 30 years ago, none of them passed that litmus test because they're all racist by our standards

00:29:18.780 today. And if they lived in the 19th century or prior to that, very good chance they supported

00:29:27.880 slavery. If they lived in the 16th century or prior to that, almost certainly they supported 0.66

00:29:34.260 slavery. Um, so that's how we knew. And also the second thing is that the people who were carrying

00:29:44.160 out this campaign to tear down the Confederate statues and now the founders and everybody else

00:29:48.080 and, and, and Theodore Roosevelt and Abraham Lincoln monuments have also come under attack and

00:29:53.760 his, his name's been, you know, they're considering taking his name, name off of various

00:29:57.340 buildings and school and school buildings and everything. The other thing is that we could,

00:30:01.540 we could look at this mob and, and see that, um, these are not just people who are passionate

00:30:07.540 about civil war history. Okay. These are people who have a, a, a, a beef against America itself,

00:30:14.180 against American history, which is why I always said from the very beginning, when it came to the 0.58

00:30:20.980 Confederate statues, even if you could see an argument for getting rid of some of these Confederate

00:30:28.980 statues, you, you still should not be joining hands with this mob. Your message should be,

00:30:37.320 your response should be, Hey, some of these statues, maybe there's an argument for taking them down,

00:30:41.940 but not right now. And not like this, this, this, this is not how we make these kinds of decisions.

00:30:50.460 It is never a good sign when mobs of people are going around the country, tearing down

00:30:55.700 century old monuments that never leads to anything good.

00:31:00.600 All right. Next, um, Kyle Rittenhouse's defense attorney was on Fox yesterday and had some

00:31:08.580 thoughts about what Kyle should do, um, now that he's free. And I'm not sure that I totally agree.

00:31:15.500 Let's listen. Yeah. My advice would be to change his name and start his life over. Um, he's very

00:31:22.980 recognizable right now. There's a lot of people who I don't think, um, have his best interests at heart.

00:31:30.600 Uh, and probably want to make him a symbol of something. I don't think he wants to be

00:31:36.060 necessarily, um, associated with. And once you give up your name and your likeness and you be

00:31:46.200 joining those causes, I think a lot of people will use you for their own purposes and you won't be able

00:31:52.400 to control it. Well, uh, giving my two cents, not that my two cents really matters or, or the,

00:32:00.600 or the, you know, the thoughts of Mark Richards, his defense attorney, it doesn't really matter.

00:32:03.940 I mean, Kyle Rittenhouse will do what, what he thinks is right for his own life. But I will say

00:32:09.060 that, uh, I personally disagree. I think you've, you know, I mean, change your name and, and, and,

00:32:15.420 and go away and hide. He didn't do anything wrong. That's what, that's what a guilty person does.

00:32:22.120 That's what someone who's done something shameful, you know, that, that's what you do.

00:32:28.440 That's like a, if you're a sex offender and once, once you're off the registry, which you really never

00:32:34.300 should be off of, but once you're off of the registry, maybe you try to change your name or

00:32:37.580 something or go away in shame. Um, that's not Kyle Rittenhouse. He hasn't done anything wrong.

00:32:43.180 He's been wrong. And so my advice would be very much from the, uh, approach from the other end

00:32:50.640 here, uh, fight for your name, fight to clear your name. Do, do what is right for you in your

00:32:58.520 own life. But if it were me, that's what I would do. You know, change, change your name and, uh,

00:33:07.180 slink away into obscurity. If that's what you think will bring you the most peace and joy in

00:33:14.060 your life, then go ahead and do it. There's not anything morally wrong with that. I'm not saying

00:33:17.400 that, but you know, the, the people who have, um, the fact that your name is now associated with

00:33:25.980 murder and racism, that's not because of you. It's not anything you did wrong.

00:33:30.440 And so I would, I would fight for it. Another, uh, interesting tidbit, Kyle Rittenhouse was

00:33:38.760 interviewed by Tucker Carlson and big shocker here. He says that Lin Wood is, uh, apparently a con 0.86

00:33:45.020 artist who would have guessed. How long were you there? I was in jail for 87 days. And this goes,

00:33:51.960 this follows in with Lin Wood, who Lin Wood was raising money on my behalf. And he held me in jail

00:34:01.060 for 87 days, disrespected my wishes, put me on media interviews, which I should never have done,

00:34:08.480 which he said, Oh, you're going to go talk to the Washington post, which was not a good idea.

00:34:12.620 Along with John Pierce, they said I was safer in jail instead of at home with my family. And then

00:34:18.920 after I'm billed, your lawyer said that my lawyer said that John Pierce and Lin Wood

00:34:23.820 87 days is a long time to be in jail. It was, it was very long. I lost a lot of weight in there.

00:34:30.520 I, I, I, since then gained it back. I know the feeling. Yeah.

00:34:35.480 But 87 days of not being with my family for defending myself and being taken advantage to

00:34:43.820 being used for a cause by these, by John Pierce and Lin Wood trying to solicit, not solicit,

00:34:51.100 trying to raise money so they can take it for their own benefit, not trying to set me free.

00:34:57.340 So you think they could have raised the money for bail faster, but they didn't?

00:35:02.300 Um, I believe it, I believe sometime in September, September 5th, I want to say they had over a

00:35:11.300 million dollars and bail was set and able to be posted in September. So they could have had me

00:35:17.300 sign the waiver for extradition and had me back in Wisconsin. And I could have been bailed out

00:35:22.280 by mid September, but they wanted to keep me in jail until November 20th.

00:35:27.380 He's a really impressive kid, by the way, I watched the interview and I was very impressed

00:35:32.020 with him really composed and poised. Um, which is tremendous given, given what he's, what he's

00:35:41.100 been through. I mean, most, most people in general takes, you know, sitting on camera in that kind

00:35:46.920 of environment, even talking to someone who's friendly to you. Um, it's hard to come off well,

00:35:52.980 uh, but especially given everything he's been through, I was very impressed with that.

00:35:56.420 But as far as Lin Wood goes, man, I gotta say, I was somewhat amazed at this time last year

00:36:01.320 when I got on this show and on Twitter and I criticized Lin Wood, um, when he was pushing

00:36:07.040 all that Kraken stuff with, uh, Sidney Powell and, you know, they're going to release the Kraken

00:36:12.200 and, uh, it's, it's going to be the thing that breaks the case wide open and, and, uh, Trump

00:36:17.440 will be reinstated as president. Biden will, will never be president. They were promising that.

00:36:22.660 You know, and as long as we give them money, like Lin Wood and Sidney Powell, uh, we give them

00:36:28.240 personally, we give them money and, uh, and we'll never be told exactly what they're doing with the

00:36:33.380 money or how that's going to help anything. But, um, as long as we do that, then everything will be

00:36:37.500 fine. And I said at the time that the guy, Lin Wood is a con artist and a sleazy snake oil salesman 0.92

00:36:44.940 and just a slime ball. And really pretty obvious that he's all of those things. And lots of people, 0.93

00:36:52.160 uh, on, you know, watch the show, criticize me on Twitter, attack me really angrily.

00:36:59.320 This is one thing we've got to be better about on the right. I think we can't fall for con artists

00:37:04.780 like this. We just got to be smarter than that. There shouldn't be any Lin Woods on the right. 0.79

00:37:11.480 Um, we shouldn't allow that. And it's embarrassing. It really is. Because you see these guys and you

00:37:19.200 think, well, he's such an obvious grifter. How could anyone fall for it? But then you remember

00:37:25.120 that con artists don't need to fool everybody or even most people, or even, even most of the

00:37:31.580 minority of people. They only need, they only need to fool some people and fool them hard, right? 0.99

00:37:38.040 It's like the, whatever the Nigerian Prince scammers and all those really obvious email 0.99

00:37:42.360 scams that you get. They don't need even 5% of the people who take the email, who get the email

00:37:47.820 and take it seriously. They just need a relative handful. And those people they take for all their

00:37:53.380 worth. That's how cults work also. Same principle. And you find that, that some people have something

00:38:01.280 in them, a certain part of their brain. And sometimes it's, it's hard to figure out because

00:38:07.640 some of the people that going again, back a year ago, some of the people that I talked to about

00:38:12.400 Lin Wood and, and were totally buying into it and saw him as like the savior of the Republic.

00:38:20.120 I remember talking to people and having them say that to my face, look me in the eyes

00:38:24.020 and call him literally a savior. And these people were not stupid. They're smart people. 0.98

00:38:31.880 Some of them smarter than me, which is not hard to do. So what is it exactly? And I think if I were

00:38:38.000 to find the most generous interpretation, I think some people have a sort of overactive sense of loyalty.

00:38:46.100 And, um, these con artists know how to tap into that. Cult leaders know how to tap into that.

00:38:51.320 They know how to exploit that overdeveloped loyalty instinct that some people have, even some smart

00:38:57.320 people. Meanwhile, they themselves have no loyalty instinct at all. So they're loyal to no one.

00:39:04.060 They have no honor, no integrity. They don't care about anybody, but themselves. And they're exploiting

00:39:10.960 those who are too easily loyal, too eager to be loyal. So I think that's, um, part of what it is.

00:39:18.680 Maybe I'm just jealous too, because as you know, I'm an aspiring cult leader, uh, with the Sweet

00:39:23.040 Baby Gang. But one thing I know is, is that my Sweet Babies, they would never,

00:39:27.140 they would never have for me, you know, they would never let me get away with the kinds of

00:39:33.920 things that Lin Wood gets away with. I know that when I step out of line, even the Sweet Babies will 1.00

00:39:38.880 call me on it in a heartbeat. And I have to begrudgingly appreciate that. Okay, next we got

00:39:46.360 Condoleezza Rice. Uh, she made an appearance on, um, Monday Night Football with these broadcasts that

00:39:51.860 now Eli Manning and Peyton Manning do. And she talked about the need to get more women involved in 1.00

00:39:57.260 football. And you can only imagine how I might feel about that, but let's listen.

00:40:01.660 Hey, Condi, women have made great strides in the NFL in the past years. There's 12 female coaches

00:40:09.980 in the NFL. Just talk about what are the next steps for women in the NFL? You've been very

00:40:15.260 outspoken over the years about the need for more movement for women in the NFL.

00:40:20.360 Well, I'm really glad to see women in the front offices. That makes a big difference. And by the 1.00

00:40:24.520 way in the front office of the NFL as well. And then, uh, women on the field as officials. Uh, 1.00

00:40:30.360 that's a wonderful breakthrough. And, uh, increasingly, uh, on coaching staffs, I think the next breakthrough

00:40:37.320 is, uh, to see if women can find their way into, say, position coaches. Uh, because if you're a 0.99

00:40:43.400 position coach, you've got a shot then at a coordinator. I've never thought, uh, that you're just

00:40:48.900 going to put a woman in there. You're going to have to have somebody who goes through that progression. 0.99

00:40:53.020 But, uh, I'm really proud of what the women in the NFL are doing. Uh, it's high time because, 0.97

00:40:59.140 uh, you do not have to have played this game necessarily with all due respect to present

00:41:03.700 company, uh, to, to understand it. And I think to, to coach it well. Um, yeah, it's high time to have

00:41:11.660 women coaches in the NFL. Why exactly? Like what, what, what problem does that solve to put women on 1.00

00:41:18.840 the sidelines in the NFL as football coaches? No, we don't need women as football coaches. Uh, we, 1.00

00:41:25.280 we don't come on, but here's, here's the thing. And Condoleezza Rice is correct that you don't need,

00:41:31.380 you don't necessarily need to have played the game to be a coach. And there are plenty of great

00:41:36.220 players who have made really lousy coaches. So just because you know how to play a position

00:41:40.460 doesn't mean that you know how to coach it just because you, you know, are an expert in a certain

00:41:46.400 field doesn't necessarily mean that you're going to be a good teacher. So we, we know about that.

00:41:51.280 It's a, it's kind of a different skillset. Fine. You don't need to be, to have played it. Okay.

00:41:58.480 But what qualities do you need in order to be a football coach? And yeah, you need knowledge of

00:42:06.880 the game. It helps to have played it, to have, to have that firsthand knowledge, but you also need

00:42:11.980 to be, as a football coach, you need to be a leader of men. Okay. Football coaches are the

00:42:16.900 good ones. Anyway, are leaders of men and, uh, women are not leaders of men. That's not to say 1.00

00:42:24.640 they can't be leaders, but a woman is not going to be the most effective leader of a group of young 1.00

00:42:31.500 men. Now, if you got in a different environment, like a teacher in a, in a, in a school room and a

00:42:39.160 classroom is also a leader. The good ones are leaders. And there's lots of great, uh, female 1.00

00:42:44.920 teachers, obviously, but you know, football environment where it's all men, you need men 0.99

00:42:52.880 to be leaders of those men, especially because you're going out onto the sort of, uh, metaphorical

00:42:58.720 battlefield and, uh, and, uh, you know, it's all a game anyways. It doesn't really matter in the end.

00:43:02.720 It's not actual battle, but it is, it's a physically demanding, taxing thing. You're putting your,

00:43:07.100 you're putting your, your physical safety on the line and everything else. And that's why it's so

00:43:11.520 important to be leader, to have, to have coaches that are good leaders of men. And yeah, you need

00:43:15.660 to be a man to do that. Why is that? Well, because, you know, 95% of leadership is not, is not,

00:43:23.900 doesn't happen through speaking. There's only about 5% that involves lecturing and speaking and tell

00:43:33.580 it in saying things and coming up with good lessons and everything like that. And yeah,

00:43:38.060 men and women both can do that. But most 95% of leadership is done through example. You are

00:43:46.280 modeling. So if you want to be a leader of men, you have to model, uh, for, for young men,

00:43:51.380 you know, you have to show them the path by walking it yourself.

00:43:54.560 And men cannot look to women to find out how to be good men. Just like women can't look to men to 1.00

00:44:03.880 find that out about women, about themselves. All of these things should be pretty obvious, but

00:44:11.180 I'm sure media matters. We'll have some fun with that one. Okay. One other quick thing. Um,

00:44:16.600 don't have a lot of time for this, but this is, I just wanted to mention this. This is from

00:44:21.460 pink news. Of course, one of my favorite media outlets. It says U S president Joe Biden honored

00:44:27.180 the dozens of trans people lost to a horrifying wave of violence on transgender day of remembrance

00:44:32.740 on Saturday, uh, the world grew silent as countless memorialized and celebrate the lives of victims of

00:44:38.220 anti-trans violence. Among them was Biden who in a white house news release paid tribute to those we

00:44:43.860 lost in the deadliest year on record for transgender Americans. The, um, white house later hosted a

00:44:50.300 vigil in recognition of trans non-binary and gender non-conforming people lost to violence

00:44:55.240 with second gentleman, Doug Emhoff leading the ceremony, but seemingly capturing the extent of

00:45:02.640 the climate of fear felt by trans Americans. Biden's address was out of date mere moments after it was

00:45:07.220 published. It says, uh, this is Biden. He said, quote, this year, at least 46 transgender individuals in

00:45:12.820 this country were killed in horrifying acts of violence. And then it goes on to say that actually the

00:45:17.040 death toll now is 48. Okay. So it's the deadliest year on record for trans people. So deadly that the 1.00

00:45:24.700 president of the United States needs to hold a vigil for them. How many trans people have been murdered?

00:45:30.740 48. The entire year up to now in the whole country. Now all murders are very sad, but, but what, what, what do

00:45:43.880 we expect exactly? Do we expect the trans murder rate to be zero? All people, no matter what group 1.00

00:45:52.500 you belong to, no matter what your gender identity is, you are susceptible to potentially being murdered,

00:45:57.660 unfortunately, because you're a mortal human being. And so you take any random group of people, we could

00:46:02.360 take plumbers. Let's just take plumbers or, you know, how many plumbers have been murdered this year?

00:46:07.060 Probably not zero. Does that automatically mean that there's some sort of anti-plumber hate crime

00:46:14.520 epidemic? No, what we find is that actually the trans murder rate is very, very low. It is

00:46:23.880 significantly lower. It's like a third of the murder rate of the general population. Okay. So I say that

00:46:30.840 again, if you're a trans person, statistically, you are much less likely to be murdered than if you are a

00:46:37.660 non-trans person. And then if you look at the, at the individual cases, because you'll notice something

00:46:43.180 when we're told about the trans, you know, hate crime epidemic, supposedly, um, they're always very vague

00:46:49.980 about it. They say 48 trans people have been murdered and those are all of the murders. And then they sort of

00:46:56.040 vaguely say, Oh, hate and discrimination. Then if you ask, well, what, you know, can you give me some

00:47:02.240 examples of like, are you saying that there are people out there hunting trans people and murdering 0.93

00:47:07.080 them for being trans? Can you give me some examples of that? Is that all 48 of them? That's when they go 0.99

00:47:14.440 silent because in reality, when you actually look at the individual cases, as I have done and others have

00:47:20.640 done, uh, so Rab Amari has a, an article about it, uh, today, I think in the New York post, uh, the

00:47:26.600 federalist has, has done some research into this. When you look at the individual cases, you discover

00:47:30.920 that in almost every case, when a trans person is murdered, it's because it's drug related,

00:47:38.320 it's gang related, it's prostitution related, um, or it's related or it's related to domestic violence.

00:47:45.620 In other words, it's, it's the same reason why most people are murdered.

00:47:50.640 The same kind of risk categories apply to trans people as applies to the general population.

00:47:57.400 Anti-trans hatred or bigotry has nothing to do with almost any of it.

00:48:05.480 And yet they still talk about the trans hate crime epidemic, which is a total fabrication. It's a

00:48:10.820 fantasy. It doesn't exist for the record. All right, now time for the comment section.

00:48:15.620 Do you know their name?

00:48:18.880 All right. Uh, before we get to some of the comments here, if we mentioned yesterday, where

00:48:30.220 we've launched this, uh, merchandise store, the, the merch store on, um, on dailywire.com. And,

00:48:37.780 uh, if you go to dailywire.com slash shop, you can go and you can find all the, all the hosts. We

00:48:42.320 have our own merchandise, but what you want to do is skip by all the other hosts and go right to my

00:48:46.300 page. And I have to say, yeah, I was looking at some of this merchandise last night and I, I, I think

00:48:50.800 I know I'm biased, but I think we have some great merchandise. We'll put a, some images up on the

00:48:56.820 screen here, but we have some real, I am jealous of my own merchants. I want all of this merchandise

00:49:02.700 for myself. I think it's really good. We've got, um, we've got a couple of different skews of the,

00:49:07.280 the sweet baby gang t-shirt now. So if you're one of those people who feels weird about wearing,

00:49:12.080 you know, a shirt with a picture of a bearded guy with a, with a diaper, if you're, you know,

00:49:17.540 if that's how you feel, if you're a little discriminatory like that, that we do have a

00:49:22.760 sweet baby gang shirt that doesn't have, um, doesn't have the diaper. We've got a return or die

00:49:28.620 shirt with a picture of a shopping cart. That probably is my favorite. We've got some anti-panda

00:49:35.480 related gear, which is, which is really good. Uh, save a boiler. We got to save a boiler shirt.

00:49:40.640 So a lot of great stuff there. Make sure to go dailywire.com slash a shop, go to the Matt Walsh

00:49:45.140 store. And, uh, this is the time to do it right before Christmas. This is what, and I'm not,

00:49:50.480 and I don't say this as a joke or ironically, uh, this is what every one of my family is going to be

00:49:54.300 getting. All right. Assuming I can get the merchandise for free, which is still not,

00:49:59.560 I'm still not totally sure about it. At least maybe I'll get a 5% discount or something.

00:50:03.740 Okay. This is from Andrew says, Matt, I am getting relentless criticism from,

00:50:07.100 from my incorrect peers for my belief that Arby's is much better than In-N-Out and Burger King.

00:50:12.700 I know what your belief of Arby's is. So I'd like to ask, what is your message to all my friends

00:50:16.300 who truly believe that Burger King and In-N-Out are superior to Arby's? Um, you know, these are people

00:50:22.580 who've, you know, they kind of, kind of standard go, go in with the flow, going with the crowd,

00:50:28.120 allowing themselves to be influenced by peer pressure. In-N-Out is nothing impressive at all.

00:50:33.220 Burger King, um, I've never been to a Burger King that was better than subpar. Like, like,

00:50:42.780 subpar is the best you can hope for when it comes to Burger King. And the thing is you go to Burger King

00:50:47.520 and you can run into this with all the, with all the fast food places, but anytime you, you,

00:50:53.260 you order a Whopper from Burger King, you know, you, you, you try to pick it up and it's the entire

00:50:58.140 thing is scalding hot, including the bun. The mayonnaise is like magma or something because

00:51:04.380 they throw the entire thing, mayonnaise, bun and lettuce and all into the microwave before they hand

00:51:09.360 it to you. Um, they don't do that with Arby's or if they do, you don't notice it. So I'm in

00:51:16.280 agreement with you. Mike says, totally agree with Matt on the socialization of public school versus

00:51:20.280 homeschool. After my 13 years of public education, I spent at least the next five years unlearning all

00:51:24.760 the immature, ridiculous behaviors that I picked up in public school. Yeah, that's, that's exactly 0.86

00:51:31.240 right. And we we've talked before about why, why is it that, uh, that in fact, despite what you hear

00:51:35.400 public, this public school environment is not a great socialization environment. Well, the reason is

00:51:39.560 that, um, in many public schools anyway, like the one that I went to, you are in a classroom with 30

00:51:45.560 other kids and, uh, and one teacher and the, the adults are vastly outnumbered by the kids.

00:51:53.220 And so you're picking up all of your social cues from other kids. That's how you're learning how to

00:52:00.600 act in the world. All of your ideas about etiquette and, and, and everything and how to behave. You're

00:52:07.580 picking that up from other kids because you're surrounded by other kids and you live, you, you live

00:52:13.060 every day in this peer culture, this kind of Lord of the flies, ruthless peer culture. So in order to

00:52:19.660 survive socially, you learn to blend in and pick up cues from your, from your fellow students and act

00:52:27.760 like they do. And meanwhile, they're picking up cues from you. So you're all just chasing each other's

00:52:31.780 tail. You're going in a circle and homeschooling. Um, you know, there is an adult and far fewer kids.

00:52:41.760 And so the kids are looking to the adult, they're picking up their social cues from the adult, their

00:52:45.140 parent. And I think that's how they ended up being more mature people. And oftentimes when you hear

00:52:49.600 about how homeschoolers are weird and all of that, what you're really picking up on is that they're

00:52:55.560 mature. So a weird homeschooler, you know, 17 year old homeschooler, you think that that 17 year old

00:53:03.060 is weird because he is acting like a young adult as he should. And you're so used to the 17 year old

00:53:10.920 hooligans who are emotionally and psychologically repressed and suppressed and confused.

00:53:16.980 Um, now what else we got here? Um, Brian says, why is a sweet baby gang t-shirt and XL always sold

00:53:25.540 out? Do you recommend that I eat more and moved into a two XL or is this a lame attempt to get gang

00:53:30.420 members to get in better shape so they can fit in a large, well, we've got a lot of big babies in the 0.83

00:53:34.760 sweet baby gang. So stop body shaming them. Well, you might be doing some traveling, uh, this holiday.

00:53:39.240 I'd recommend traveling by car if you can, so that you can avoid all the craziness in the airports.

00:53:44.380 But if you're doing that, that means that you got to, you know, you're that's the gas expenses.

00:53:47.480 That's when that really comes in. And that's why beforehand get the get upside app. My listeners

00:54:43.200 but I guess we'll talk about it again. The daily wire store is open. Uh, daily wire shop,

00:55:39.860 and all the perks you wouldn't otherwise. Now let's get to our daily cancellation.

00:55:47.600 Now, to be totally honest with you, I wanted to do a big and epic cancellation today as we head into

00:55:51.980 the Thanksgiving holiday, or at least as I head into it, because I won't be here tomorrow, but

00:55:55.020 my plans for a grand and dramatic and perhaps even historic segment were derailed when I happened

00:56:00.340 across this New York Post article and found myself once again, highly annoyed by something

00:56:04.280 relatively trivial. The forces of the universe have now compelled me again to spend our remaining

00:56:08.340 minutes together talking about, um, this instead. I can't help it. It's not my fault. It's this

00:56:13.160 person's fault. As the New York Post reports, a distraught mom has taken to TikTok saying that she

00:56:17.960 feels like a failure after learning her seven-year-old son is a bully. Now we'll pause there for a moment

00:56:23.900 just to say that, um, we are already on the wrong foot. Anytime distraught and taken to TikTok are

00:56:31.560 in the same sentence. There are many understandable things a person might reasonably do when they're

00:56:36.340 distraught, even some understandable things they might unreasonably do, but making a TikTok video

00:56:41.920 is not one of them. No sincere, stable person has ever felt truly distraught and said to themselves,

00:56:47.460 oh no, I'm distraught. This is terrible. It's tragic. I'm devastated. Wait, where's my phone?

00:56:51.060 This will make a great TikTok vid. No, sincere and stable people don't do that, which means that

00:56:55.720 if you're doing that, you're either insincere or unstable or both, probably both. Anyway, back to the

00:57:00.220 article. It says, the mom named Beth posted an emotional video to the social media site last week

00:57:04.980 detailing the moment that she learned her boy had attacked an overweight peer while on board a

00:57:09.280 school bus. I feel like a failure, Beth wrote beneath the clip, which has been viewed more than 1.5

00:57:14.660 million times. My son came home telling me another parent threatened him for accidentally knocking

00:57:19.300 his son's glasses off his face, she explained. I believed every word that came out of his mouth.

00:57:25.020 Beth decided to speak with the school bus driver after her son told her the incident occurred on

00:57:28.800 board the vehicle, and she was stunned by what she found out next. Quote, the driver explained to me how

00:57:34.420 this child is heavyset and he can't get off the bus quickly. He told me how my child was shoving this

00:57:39.960 boy down the aisle because he wasn't fast enough. My child ripped the boy's glasses off his face and

00:57:45.260 threw them to the back of the bus. It's not funny. Bullying is not funny. Beth said that she was left

00:57:52.600 heartbroken after learning of the incident, and it really hit home as she herself had been bullied

00:57:56.760 about her weight when she was a child. Okay, now in fairness to her son, you really shouldn't move

00:58:03.300 faster when you're getting off the school bus. Nobody wants to be on that thing any longer than they

00:58:06.640 need to be. And I'm not sure how being heavyset is an excuse here, frankly. I'm not condoning what

00:58:11.580 her son did, especially because there's a distinct possibility that this woman is mentally ill and 0.92

00:58:16.020 none of this really happened. She might not even have a son. The story sounds fabricated. Her son, 0.74

00:58:23.000 if she has one, is acting like the stereotypical bully from like a 90s Nickelodeon cartoon. Hey, 1.00

00:58:27.900 get out of my way, four eyes. I'm surprised he didn't give the kid a wedgie and then peer pressure

00:58:32.780 him into smoking a cigarette out behind the bleachers or something. But assuming this really

00:58:36.720 did happen, we'll continue. The post says, Beth said she was left heartbroken after learning of

00:58:41.460 the incident, and it really hit home as she herself had been bullied about her weight when

00:58:44.160 she was a child. I do not condone this behavior, and it's not tolerated, the mom said, as she sobbed

00:58:49.200 on screen. I don't know where to go from here. I'm obviously doing something wrong, the emotional

00:58:54.000 parent confessed. Well, I've got some ideas, Beth, about what you might be doing wrong. But before I share

00:58:59.380 those with you, let's take a look at one of the viral TikTok videos she made stemming from this 0.91

00:59:03.200 potentially fictional incident. Here's one where she addressed the bully, she addresses the bullied

00:59:09.280 child directly in this video and lip syncs an inspirational song to him while weeping. You're not

00:59:15.420 going to be able to appreciate the sheer cringe of this video unless you see the actual visuals.

00:59:20.080 So if you're listening to the audio, make sure to go over to YouTube or something to watch this

00:59:22.760 because you have to see it. Here it is.

00:59:25.080 So we grew attached to the tragic flaws that they hide you. You're enough, you're enough, you're enough.

00:59:39.020 I promise you're enough, you're enough, you're enough. I promise you're enough, you're enough, you're enough.

00:59:47.000 I promise you. You're enough, you're enough, you're enough, you are enough.

00:59:59.500 Do these people not have anyone in their life to stop them from doing this? Do they not have anyone

01:00:05.940 to say, no, this is, don't, don't, this, the cringe here is too much. That is a tough one to get

01:00:11.540 through. Not because it's emotionally affecting, but because of the nuclear grade secondhand embarrassment.

01:00:15.600 Meanwhile, she's totally throwing your own seven-year-old son under the bus on social media 1.00

01:00:19.460 in front of the entire world. Again, assuming your seven-year-old son exists, this is the real

01:00:23.740 cancelable offense. Obviously, if you find out that your child has bullied another, another child,

01:00:28.220 you should dole out the appropriate correction and discipline. You should handle the situation as a

01:00:33.700 parent, but what you don't need to do and should not do and shouldn't ever even think about doing

01:00:38.520 is broadcast the situation on social media. You shouldn't get the public involved in your

01:00:45.460 relatively routine parenting situation. Parenting is not a spectator sport. Your child is not a

01:00:51.440 public figure. You don't need to issue statements and press releases if he gets in trouble at school.

01:00:56.980 You keep it private. If you feel the need to reach out to a child that your bratty kid is bullied,

01:01:02.460 reach out to him, go to the bus stop and talk to him, call his parents, whatever. You don't need to

01:01:06.880 connect with him via TikTok video. He's seven. He shouldn't even know what TikTok is. And if he does,

01:01:11.600 he's got bigger problems than a little scuffle on the school bus. This is a pretty widespread

01:01:15.920 problem these days. Parents who essentially use their own children as clickbait, exploiting them

01:01:21.720 for shares and likes. And it's not even clear to what end. I mean, unless you make a living as a

01:01:27.080 content creator, why do you care about getting shares and going viral? What good does it do you?

01:01:32.000 How do you benefit? Well, I suppose it satisfies the need for attention, a need that has grown ever

01:01:39.600 stronger in the human species, more insatiable as our lives are increasingly consumed by the internet.

01:01:44.820 Attention is the currency of the internet. It's the original cryptocurrency. And some people,

01:01:49.680 many people are so desperate to be rich in that kind of Bitcoin that they'll think nothing of selling

01:01:53.900 out their own children. Anything for a small ration, a small taste of attention, anything for approval

01:02:00.260 and affirmation from faceless strangers who don't know you or care about you and won't remember

01:02:05.500 your content 15 seconds from now. And that is why this woman, whatever her name is, because I've

01:02:11.200 already forgotten, which proves my point, is canceled. That'll do it for us today and the week.

01:02:17.160 Have a great Thanksgiving and I will talk to you next week. Godspeed.
