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
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
00:00:55.680
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,

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
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
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
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
00:05:25.920
criminals from federal prison, she assures us that most of them are also crazy. This is a defense of
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,
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
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
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
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
00:12:49.000
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
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?
00:26:41.160
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,
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
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
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
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
00:36:44.940
and just a slime ball. And really pretty obvious that he's all of those things. And lots of people,
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.
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?
00:37:38.040
It's like the, whatever the Nigerian Prince scammers and all those really obvious email
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.
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
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
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
00:40:24.520
way in the front office of the NFL as well. And then, uh, women on the field as officials. Uh,
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
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.
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,
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
00:41:18.840
the sidelines in the NFL as football coaches? No, we don't need women as football coaches. Uh, we,
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
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
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
00:42:44.920
teachers, obviously, but you know, football environment where it's all men, you need men
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
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
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
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
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
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.
00:48:18.880
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
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
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
00:53:53.140

00:54:43.200
but I guess we'll talk about it again. The daily wire store is open. Uh, daily wire shop,
00:54:47.400
dailywire.com slash shop, uh, is open right now. All of the wonderful daily wire merchandise
00:54:52.840

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
00:58:16.020
none of this really happened. She might not even have a son. The story sounds fabricated. Her son,
00:58:23.000
if she has one, is acting like the stereotypical bully from like a 90s Nickelodeon cartoon. Hey,
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
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
00:59:25.080
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
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.
