The Matt Walsh Show - Ep. 891 - BLM Assassin Joins Waukesha Killer In The Memory Hole

00:00:00.000 Today on the Matt Wall Show, an activist attempted to assassinate a politician in a major American

00:00:04.160 city. This happened yesterday and already is out of the news. You may have already guessed

00:00:07.900 why, but we'll discuss today. Also, the new mayor of New York is getting a lot of props

00:00:11.540 from people on the right, but he's as much of a race hustler as any other Democrat.

00:00:15.200 I'll play a clip that proves that. And the CEO of YouTube did an interview where she called on

00:00:19.460 governments across the world to pass more laws restricting speech, plus a bipartisan bill meant

00:00:24.660 to protect children on the Internet. I usually say that the worst kinds of bills are the bipartisan

00:00:28.740 ones, but is this an exception to the rule? We'll take a look. Finally, we'll cancel a man who says

00:00:33.200 that women who don't want to see his penis in the locker room are misogynists. All of that and more 0.99

00:00:38.420 today on the Matt Wall Show. You know, the pro-life movement must maintain its momentum now more than

00:00:52.240 ever. And what better way to help than by supporting the charities and causes that you care about? Even

00:00:56.480 if the Supreme Court were to strike down Roe v. Wade, abortion would still exist in America. 0.99

00:01:01.260 It would still remain legal in many states, including the most populated states in the

00:01:04.640 country, most of them anyway. Charity Mobile is the pro-life phone company. They partner with you

00:02:01.340 So in May of 2021, a prominent BLM activist, black nationalist, and future attempted assassin 0.62

00:02:07.920 Quintez Brown wrote another op-ed for the Louisville Courier-Journal titled, 0.90

00:02:12.980 Louisville's huge police budget is the real boogeyman traumatizing black people.

00:02:17.120 Now in the piece, he talks about all the ways that he as a black man has suffered because of 0.71

00:02:22.040 the police in his city. And the best way to heal his trauma, he argues, and rescue the city from

00:02:27.680 violence is to reduce the police budget. And he claims that Louisville police are not good at

00:02:33.480 preventing crime anyway. And so the best way to solve that problem is to give them fewer resources

00:02:38.080 to work with. It's actually a familiar argument, always coming from the same people who say that

00:02:43.080 every problem in the education system can be solved by increasing the budget. So to review,

00:02:49.160 if police aren't doing their jobs effectively, give them less money. If teachers aren't doing

00:02:53.600 their jobs effectively, give them more. Striking logic, you must admit. But this article from Brown

00:02:58.560 was the last that he would write for the publication. One of the first back in 2019 was a lamentation about

00:03:03.680 the lack of gun control in Kentucky and across the country. Brown claimed that, quote,

00:03:08.320 Kentucky's concealed carry law shows your life doesn't matter to gun-loving Republicans. 0.69

00:03:14.600 In between this article and his arrest this past weekend for trying to shoot and kill a white mayoral

00:03:19.080 candidate in the city, Brown was intricately involved in BLM activism. And he was honored for

00:03:24.440 his activism, actually hailed by Barack Obama's foundation as a rising face in the social justice

00:03:30.660 movement. He became a member of the Youth Violence Prevention League, if you can believe it. And he was a

00:03:36.540 local political candidate for Metro Council District 5. So this guy, this guy got around. A couple of

00:03:41.800 years ago, he was given a platform on MSNBC where Joy Reid interviewed him about this same problem

00:03:48.060 of gun violence. Listen to this. You're from the home state of the Senate Majority Leader. What do you

00:03:53.280 want him to know? Well, I want you to know that, you know, we are here and we want common sense gun

00:03:59.340 reform. And if you're not going to give us that, then we're going to get everyone out here to vote and

00:04:04.220 we're going to vote you out of office. So if you want to keep your job, then, you know, give us

00:04:07.800 what we not, what we want, but what we need, what humans need. We need common sense gun reform.

00:04:12.620 Get rid of assault rifles. Come on. Like, yeah. When are you guys going to turn 18? I'll turn 18

00:04:17.400 September 25th. I'm already registered. You're in time and already registered. I'm 29, so we're

00:04:21.680 registered. And you guys are making the connection. You believe that this is about being in the voting

00:04:26.100 booth. Definitely. Emma Gonzalez, she already put an emphasis on it. Like, because we do have some 1.00

00:04:31.960 very inflexible congressmen, so maybe we won't get gun reform like the next day. But nonviolent

00:04:37.960 direct action takes time. It's not going to happen overnight. So one thing that we can do is get

00:04:42.640 people out here voting, because even if we don't get gun reform, we're going to vote the people in

00:04:46.420 office out. And we're going to vote people who want gun reform, who care about us. We're going to put

00:04:50.800 them in office. Nonviolent direct action takes time. And he gave it about, I don't know, 18 months

00:04:57.780 before he started shooting people. But Quintez Brown, he's tired of gun violence, he says. So

00:05:01.420 tired of it that he allegedly walked into mayoral candidate Craig Greenberg's office and shot at

00:05:06.040 him at close range and missed every shot somehow. Now, in fairness, Brown does say in the clip that

00:05:10.500 he wants to get rid of assault rifles, whatever those are. He doesn't say anything about a nine

00:05:13.920 millimeter, which is what he used in his assassination attempt. So, you know, talk about a loophole.

00:05:18.780 But no matter what sort of gun he used, the end result is that a prominent and celebrated

00:05:23.480 black nationalist BLM activist tried to assassinate a politician in a major American city. This

00:05:28.660 happened yesterday morning, and it's already out of the headlines. Because this is the part of the

00:05:34.180 story that comes as no surprise. It's the part of the story where the story disappears. Already,

00:05:37.980 you can check the homepages of CNN, MSNBC, NBC News, etc., all the usual suspects, and find no mention

00:05:44.640 at all anywhere of Quintez Brown. The memory hole is dark and deep, and it does not suck things into

00:05:51.000 itself slowly like quicksand. Instead, it will obliterate unwanted facts and events in the blink

00:05:56.420 of an eye. The media, of course, has gotten very good at quickly and quietly snuffing out stories

00:06:01.460 of black nationalists and BLM activists committing politically motivated murders because they've had

00:06:06.680 a lot of practice. It was only a few months ago that another member of this ideological group

00:06:11.080 plowed his car into dozens of white people in a parade, intentionally targeting them, injuring over

00:06:16.960 60 people, killing six, including a child, in Waukesha. That story was on its way to getting

00:06:23.120 tossed into the pit as soon as the race of the perpetrator was known. And then when his politics

00:06:27.500 came into focus, its fate was sealed. But before Waukesha and in the same year, a Capitol police

00:06:34.500 officer was murdered when a black nationalist named Noah Green rammed his car into a barricade and

00:06:39.640 attacked cops with a knife. Officer Brian Sicknick was not actually killed by rioters on January 6th,

00:06:46.160 though you know his name because the media attempted to connect the two events. But in

00:06:50.880 this case, a Capitol police officer was actually murdered by a political extremist. Straight up

00:06:56.200 murder. You don't know his name. It was William Evans, by the way, because his death was not useful

00:07:01.160 to the narrative. You also probably don't remember the so-called black Hebrew Israelites who shot up a

00:07:06.560 Jewish deli in New Jersey. It was only a couple of years ago, then got into a shootout with the cops,

00:07:11.000 ultimately left six people dead. Hopefully, though, you remember the extremists who assassinated

00:07:15.880 five police officers with a sniper rifle at a BLM rally in Dallas in 2016, though the media is so

00:07:21.860 effective at erasing these events from the public consciousness that even that massacre seems to have

00:07:26.700 been mostly forgotten by the public. You know, we hear quite a lot about the looming threat of white

00:07:32.620 nationalism. And yet the majority of murderers in this country and the majority of murders are 0.60

00:07:38.560 carried out by people who don't quite fit that description. And even if we were to narrow the

00:07:43.680 category down to ideologically or politically or racially motivated violence, still, most culprits

00:07:49.700 don't exactly look like white nationalists. BLM itself and its various ideological cousins and

00:07:55.880 offshoots is by far and away the most dangerous and violent organization in America, second only to

00:08:01.980 Planned Parenthood, perhaps. BLM activists have been involved in targeted acts of violence like this

00:08:08.200 assassination attempt. Also, large scale campaigns of brutal chaos and anarchy. Entire neighborhoods and

00:08:15.220 cities have been consumed by this whirlwind for days and weeks on end. Now, violent political

00:08:21.420 movements and organizations have always existed in this country and always will in this country and

00:08:28.680 across the world and everywhere for all time. As long as there's politics, as long as there's human

00:08:35.140 society, there are going to be violent political movements and violent people. Now, in some ways,

00:08:41.080 you might argue that BLM isn't much different from the ones that came before it or will come after it

00:08:45.740 in that way. But the difference and what makes BLM so uniquely dangerous is that it has systemic support.

00:08:53.220 We hear a lot about the problems in the system, systemic. Well, it has systemic support. It's propped

00:08:59.060 up, encouraged, funded, facilitated by the most powerful institutions in the country. Now, this is

00:09:06.080 also why right-wing extremists, so-called, could never be as dangerous as BLM, even if they wanted to

00:09:12.680 be. And I'm sure that some of them do. I'm sure some of them look at BLM and say, I wish we could do

00:09:18.920 that. But they can't. Because no matter what they do, they can't get Amazon on their side or Facebook

00:09:25.840 or the education system or the government. BLM has all of that. And it has the media, of course.

00:09:34.380 And the media's most important job on BLM's behalf is to make sure that we all have very short

00:09:39.780 memories. Now, let's get to our five headlines.

00:09:49.220 Well, with the ever-increasing numbers of car makes and models, it's now impossible to stock all

00:09:53.880 the parts you need in a traditional chain storefront. Why go there and endure the torture

00:09:58.680 of walking around and trying to find what you need and being asked all of these intimidating

00:10:04.040 questions about cars, which are very intimidating for someone like me, about the specifications of

00:10:10.700 your vehicle, only to have the guy behind the counter order the parts on his computer anyway.

00:10:56.880 how did you hear about us box so they know that we sent you. All right. So we'll start with this.

00:11:02.260 Eric Adams is the new mayor of New York, and we could say that he's better than Bill de Blasio,

00:11:08.920 which he is. It's like damning with faint praise. It's like saying that a woman is hotter than Nancy

00:11:15.520 Pelosi or something. But he gets credit from the right for some reason. Maybe part of it is because

00:11:21.760 the bar has been so low. In some ways, this is the best job in the world is to come in right after

00:11:27.720 Bill de Blasio. The bar is, at this point, under the earth. All you have to do is walk on the ground

00:11:32.600 and you're getting over the bar. You don't even have to raise your legs up that high. So part of it

00:11:37.560 might be that. Some of it is the kind of the lip service that he's paid to law and order and

00:11:45.340 everything else. But the fact is that he's still firmly on the left. And he attacks. He also goes

00:11:52.740 after the left. He goes after Democrats. But he does it from the left. So here's a good example.

00:11:58.860 This is the mayor of New York that even a lot of conservatives seem to like lecturing the media

00:12:04.800 yesterday on diversity. Before we play this clip, even this clip, what I'm about to play

00:12:10.020 for you, the reason that I saw this is because other conservatives on Twitter were sharing this

00:12:16.040 and saying, yeah, go Eric Adams. Because of this lecture on diversity in the media. Let's listen

00:12:24.160 to some of this. I'm a black man. That's the mayor. But my story has been interpreted by people that don't

00:12:32.380 look like me. We got to be honest about that. How many blacks are in the editorial boards?

00:12:40.700 How many blacks are determined how these stories are being written? How many Asians? How many East 0.61

00:12:48.200 Indians? How many South Asians? Everybody talks about my government being diversified.

00:12:54.540 What's the diversification in the newsrooms? So everybody go back with their predispositions.

00:13:01.100 And my role as mayor is being interpreted through the prism.

00:13:04.380 Okay, pause it there. Pause it there for one second. He says, where's the diversity in the

00:13:09.000 newsrooms? I mean, there's, where are the black people and the Asian people in newsrooms? I don't

00:13:13.580 know, all over the place? What are you talking about? The newsrooms are actually

00:13:18.140 pretty diverse. But listen to what he says. Why does it matter? Okay, he's a black man who's

00:13:24.160 the mayor. We've noticed. Great. And he says that, well, but I need black people to be covering 1.00

00:13:31.440 me because no one else can do it fairly. And when he's given a press conference, he wants the entire

00:13:36.340 room to look like him. And why is that? Why do you need? Why does it matter? You know, whenever a

00:13:45.660 story is, whenever I see a headline or story in the media about me, I know that it's always

00:13:51.740 going to be negative, but it doesn't really matter to me. I don't check to see the race 0.97

00:13:56.180 of the person. Is this a white person? Can they relate to my lived experience? Because

00:14:01.800 I know no matter what they look like, it's going to be negative. They're going to be tearing

00:14:05.760 me apart. So why exactly do you need them to look like you? Let's keep listening. Maybe

00:14:10.020 Eric Adams will explain. The role as mayor is being interpreted through the prisms of your

00:14:15.880 realities and not mine. So when you write stories, you're not writing stories for people who was

00:14:22.700 almost homeless like me. You're not writing stories for people who were arrested and beat by police

00:14:27.780 officers. You're not writing stories from those who are dealing with high crime. You're writing from

00:14:33.920 your prisms. And I'm not saying this to attack. But my administration is going to be about saying

00:14:41.100 the obvious that other people are uncomfortable with saying. Discomfort is growth. So I say that to

00:14:46.580 all your owners of your papers, your editorials, diversify your newsroom so I can look out and see

00:14:54.120 people that look like me and say, we're going to write stories based on the prisms that we have,

00:15:00.160 based on the prism of this young man, based on the prism of being the first black woman. That's

00:15:05.000 the speaker or Jumaane Williams, based on the prisms of his realities. It's not what we're getting.

00:15:15.260 That's not what we're getting. And that's why I'm covered the way I'm covered.

00:15:20.960 And I'm not comfortable with it. 0.90

00:15:23.240 The negative headlines are because he's black. So that's, and he's saying, 0.85

00:15:27.500 uh, look, I'm going to say the things that other people won't say. I'm going to sit up here and

00:15:31.740 talk tough. And I'm going to say things that other people aren't comfortable saying. What are you

00:15:35.780 talking about? This? Everybody says this calling for more diversity. I'm I, you know what? I'm going

00:15:42.640 to tell it like it is. I'm going to say the things that nobody will say. And here it is. We need more

00:15:46.860 diversity, dude. Literally everyone, every person in front of a camera says that except for me and like

00:15:54.360 three other people. Okay. Everyone says that, but why, why does it matter? Why, why, why this

00:16:00.600 obsession with all? When I look out here, I don't see people who look like me. Who cares if they look

00:16:03.800 like you or not? Difference does that make? How does that, how does that affect their ability to

00:16:09.140 cover you fairly or unfairly? Well, because he says that, um, if you're white, you're his exact

00:16:17.780 wording, you're writing through the prism of your reality and not mine. Well, yes, that's true. But

00:16:25.440 you see the problem, Eric, is that's the only way that any of us can engage with the world. That's

00:16:31.880 the only way that any, any of us can do anything. We are all operating within, as you say, the prism of

00:16:39.460 our own reality. Now that doesn't mean we all get our own reality. We don't all get our own truth,

00:16:45.460 but we are all coming from our own perspectives. That's the only perspective we can have. It's the

00:16:52.060 only one available to us. Unless you have split personality disorder and you have multiple

00:16:56.120 perspectives bouncing around in your head. Most of us who are not mentally ill have just the one. 0.86

00:17:02.460 That's it. We're all conscious beings and we have our own perspective, but there's still,

00:17:07.080 there's still one shared reality. And so the goal of everybody should be to, to better understand

00:17:13.880 the reality that we're all a part of and to sort of hone your, your perspective so that it comports

00:17:22.780 with reality and that it's, it's, it is based in reality. What he's, what he's, what he's saying is

00:17:32.300 that you, you have really no right to talk about him unless you have his perspective.

00:17:41.540 Which number one, there's the assumption that everybody with his skin color has exactly his

00:17:45.760 perspective on life, which is incredibly degrading, demeaning and dehumanizing that, that assumption. And

00:17:52.140 we know, of course, it's not accurate. Uh, you know, I'm assuming he says he wants people to look

00:17:57.980 like him in the newsroom, uh, covering him. I, you know, I'm guessing that if Candace Owens walked 0.94

00:18:02.160 in there, he would say, well, no, no, not her. I don't want her. So someone else who looks like me, 0.79

00:18:07.100 but also the, the incredibly arrogant assumption that everyone has to adopt your perspective on reality

00:18:15.100 just because it's yours and they can't say anything about you unless they have your perspective.

00:18:22.560 Exactly. Of course, there's a lot of that kind of thing going around, going around today. And we'll,

00:18:27.820 we'll get into some of that again and the other cancellation. Um, I've had this clip for a few

00:18:31.660 days and we haven't played it. We'll play it now. I've just been waiting. I've been waiting for an

00:18:34.860 opportunity. Whenever we get to a chance, we're dumping on Eric Adams. We'll just throw this in as

00:18:38.400 well because here he is a couple of days ago, not quite as important, but he's speaking out about,

00:18:43.220 um, about the value of plant-based diets, because this is an important thing that we need the mayor

00:18:49.420 of New York to be talking about. Uh, let's listen to that. You brought up your eating habits. I just

00:18:54.500 want to clarify something. How often do you eat fish and do you eat any other animal proteins?

00:19:00.360 I eat a plant-based centered life. Some people want to call me vegan. Vegans eat Oreos and they drink

00:19:08.700 Coca-Cola. I don't, I eat a plant-based centered life. And those who are the food police for me,

00:19:17.020 uh, they can food police all the time. I eat a plant-based centered life.

00:19:24.900 I eat a plant-based centered life and I'm not going down that. Hold on, hold on, hold on,

00:19:30.100 hold on. Please don't do that. Yelling out stuff with me. I don't do it to you. Don't do it to me.

00:19:34.540 I eat a plant-based centered life. And I'm not going down this rabbit hole of what do you eat?

00:19:41.260 If you eat cake and it has eggs in it, that you analyze it. I'm not doing that. The more plant-based

00:19:46.480 you eat, the better and healthy you are. That is my question to those who are following me around

00:19:52.040 in restaurants, wondering what I'm ordering. Listen, I'm not doing that. That's noise to me.

00:19:57.180 I got to get New Yorkers to eat a plant-based centered life.

00:20:01.460 To eat what again? I didn't, I didn't catch it. He didn't mention it enough times. What was it?

00:20:05.860 Oh, a plant-based centered life. What is with the mayors of New York, by the way,

00:20:09.920 and their obsession with controlling what people eat? I mean, he's certainly not, it's,

00:20:12.820 it seems to be a sickness that they all, there's something there in a town hall. I don't know what

00:20:16.440 it is. Some, some kind of virus. And as soon as they become mayors, they, they think it's their

00:20:19.560 business to tell everyone what they should be eating. Uh, so he has a plant-based centered life.

00:20:24.340 By the way, I'm glad we played that clip because, um, perfect, perfect follow-up to the thing before

00:20:31.220 it. This guy's complaining about the way the media covers him as if they're so hard on him.

00:20:35.240 This is what you're complaining about. Their question was, uh, tell us more about your,

00:20:39.260 your diet mayor. Hey mayor, uh, say, I've heard you like salads. Can you tell us more about that?

00:20:46.400 Those are the difficult questions you're whining about.

00:20:48.740 By the way, plant-based centered life, veganism is, is, uh, completely unnatural. It's, it's really

00:20:56.080 in, in many ironic ways, like the most inorganic way to live. Um, we were not, we're not built.

00:21:02.260 We're not made to eat only vegetables, to eat, to eat a plant-based centered life. That's not how

00:21:07.160 we're, it's our, our teeth aren't the way they are so that we can only chop on celery and lettuce.

00:21:12.140 Uh, we are supposed to be omnivores. We eat meat and vegetables. And, um, if, if all human beings

00:21:19.880 through history going back into time led plant-based centered lives, then the human race would be

00:21:25.580 extinct. We wouldn't exist anymore. So maybe that's, maybe that's not a coincidence. Like ultimate,

00:21:31.720 like the vegans, they're, they're proposing a way of life, which by the way, is a very, very privileged.

00:21:37.160 This is, this is, veganism only exists among the most privileged and wealthy people.

00:21:42.140 It is just like gender theory, gender ideology, just like so many other things, critical race

00:21:45.920 theory. It's another invention of the left that can only exist in the context of white Western 0.68

00:21:50.860 privilege because you go anywhere else in the world, go to any third world country,

00:21:55.600 you go to anywhere, anywhere else, you see the way other people live. This is not an option.

00:21:59.520 Okay. They're, they're, they're living off of, uh, off of cows and livestock. They have to hunt. 0.67

00:22:05.120 If they tried to lead a plant-based centered life, they would die. So if everyone becomes vegan,

00:22:09.440 vegan, then within three months, uh, 3 billion people are probably dead because they would starve

00:22:15.420 to death. And if everyone was always vegan from the beginning of time, then none of us would be

00:22:19.220 here. Maybe that's not a coincidence. The veganism is, uh, is, uh, this is my conspiracy theory.

00:22:25.800 Veganism is a population control tactic. It's anti-human. It's wrong. And it's stupid.

00:22:32.980 That's my position. Um, all right, moving on. I want to play this for you. The CEO of YouTube, 1.00

00:22:38.060 uh, was interviewed. I'm not sure where, what, what show she was on, but this is quite troubling

00:22:44.940 in a number of ways, and it should be getting more headlines than it is, but she was interviewed.

00:22:49.220 And, uh, here she is talking about the ways that YouTube will suppress speech at the behest of the

00:22:56.300 government. But she, she, she wants to suppress speech, but her point is that she needs the 1.00

00:23:02.120 government. She needs governments around the world to help her and sort of team up with her in this 1.00

00:23:06.440 effort to suppress speech. Let's listen to that. We work around the globe and you're right. Certainly

00:23:11.460 there are many different laws in many different, um, jurisdictions. And we, um, we enforce the laws

00:23:18.460 of the various jurisdictions around speech or what's considered safe or not safe. Um, that's true

00:23:25.000 for, for democratically elected governments. Um, it might get a little bit more complicated in,

00:23:29.620 in non-democratically elected governments. Um, and, and for the most part, you know, so basically we,

00:23:36.300 we enforce those laws. Um, that actually hasn't been the controversial part. What has been the

00:23:42.800 controversial part has been when there is content that would be deemed as harmful, but yet is not

00:23:48.720 illegal. Um, so an example of that, for example, would be COVID. I'm not aware of there being laws by

00:23:57.360 governments saying around COVID in terms of not being able to debate the efficacy of masks or where

00:24:03.840 the virus came from or the right treatment or proposal, but yet there was a lot of pressure

00:24:08.820 and concern about us, um, distributing misinformation that went against what was considered the standard

00:24:17.060 and accepted medical knowledge. Um, and so this category of harmful, but not, um, but, but legal has

00:24:26.580 been, I think where most of the discussion has been. And, you know, for us, we look at that content and we

00:24:33.480 think about the, the role that we play in society. Um, we want to be doing the right thing for our users

00:24:39.100 and for our creators. Um, we also generate revenue from advertisers. And if we are serving content that

00:24:45.660 is seen by our advertising community as not benefiting society, um, no advertiser is going to want to appear

00:24:53.420 on that. And they're certainly not going to even want to appear on a different, you know, content that

00:24:58.540 is positive if they think the platform as a whole is not being responsible. So we are generally very

00:25:03.800 aligned, like responsibility is really, is good for our business. And we, uh, you know, we have over

00:25:10.400 2 million creators on our platform that we share revenue with. So if we're not generating revenue

00:25:16.480 for them, then, you know, that's a problem for our creators. Um, they create, you know, beautiful and

00:25:22.920 incredible content and we share the majority of revenue with them. So, um, yeah, so, so basically that's

00:25:29.880 like, you know, so I think governments like can, can always, you know, our, our recommendation, if

00:25:34.720 governments want to have more control over online speech is to, to pass laws, to have that be very

00:25:40.440 cleanly and clearly defined such that we can implement it.

00:25:44.560 Well, I had to get all the way to the end there, to that, to that part, because that was important. Um, first of

00:25:49.140 all, uh, I agree with some of what she said about YouTube creators making beautiful and amazing content, like

00:25:55.540 for example, this content. So I appreciate that, Susan, thank you for that.

00:25:58.820 Um, but notice also, as she says that it's, it's, it's really pretty troubling on a number of levels.

00:26:04.280 Uh, she says that, of course that we're, we want to get rid of content that's harmful, which is, um,

00:26:09.800 as always an extremely broad category. And, uh, it is, you want to talk about operating through your

00:26:16.080 own prism, the prism of your reality, as Eric Adams says, um, that's going to, it's going to depend

00:26:20.500 very much on the prism of your reality, um, what you consider to be harmful. And so you, you put that

00:26:28.380 into, in the terms of service and say, oh yeah, well, we'll allow all speech unless it's harmful

00:26:33.020 and what's harmful. It's what, what literally whatever we say is harmful is harmful. And in,

00:26:39.480 in, in whatever way, it doesn't matter. It's, it's totally up to us. But then she goes so far

00:26:44.280 as to say that we want to make sure that the content benefits society and, and makes the rather

00:26:51.060 hilarious claim that advertisers are worried about benefiting society, that advertisers only want

00:26:57.900 to be associated with things that benefit society. And we, we know, of course, when it comes to

00:27:03.180 marketing departments and, uh, you know, I've, I've been in marketing meetings before and, uh, that's

00:27:07.980 of course in every marketing advertising meeting, the first thing anyone talks about is how is this

00:27:12.620 going to benefit society? Right. Um, if, if by society, we just mean like the, their bottom line,

00:27:19.200 that's the only thing, of course, they're worried about. So we want to make sure that the content

00:27:22.180 benefits society, she says, but, and, and she's, she's very willing and eager to suppress content

00:27:31.200 that does not quote benefit society or is not harmful, but it's helpful for helpful for her if

00:27:36.820 governments will pass laws and give her that cover. And so she's, she's asking, she's asking

00:27:43.500 governments of the world to pass laws, ostensibly restricting her and her company. She wants those 1.00

00:27:49.960 laws because it gives her the cover she needs to suppress the content. So there is this, this

00:27:54.600 unholy matrimony between big tech and governments of the world, which is why this is not a simple

00:28:03.820 issue of, uh, of private property. This is not a simple issue of private businesses, you know,

00:28:10.340 being able to control their own business and decide who they do business with and who they associate

00:28:14.400 with. That applies exactly to the situations where the left refuses to apply it. Like for example,

00:28:20.960 small independent bakeries in Colorado who don't want to make gay wedding cakes. Okay. 1.00

00:28:26.860 A small bakery in Colorado who says to a gay couple, I will sell you anything in the store. You can have

00:28:32.360 anything you want. You can even have a wedding cake. What I can't do is make a customized wedding cake

00:28:37.620 where I put the little, the, the two little male figures on top of the wedding cake that I can't

00:28:42.360 do. I can sell you the cake. You could go somewhere else and get the little figurines and put it on

00:28:46.180 there. And you're going to, or you can go to any of the 50 other bakeries within a five mile radius

00:28:50.600 and get exactly what you want. Um, now that situation, which of course is not a hypothetical

00:28:56.760 situation. That's the masterpiece cake shop case. Uh, that is a totally private business

00:29:02.240 who should have the ability and the right to decide who they associate with and who they do

00:29:07.440 business with and what kind of business they do. And if they say we're a bakery and we make different

00:29:13.100 kinds of customized cakes, but we don't make cakes for gay weddings, they should have the right to do 1.00

00:29:16.680 that. Now the left though says, Oh, that doesn't cause that's a, you know, this is a, uh, this is an

00:29:22.900 accommodation. This is a service that everyone has a right to. And, uh, it causes great damage to the

00:29:29.240 gay couples if they're not able to get the service that they want at this particular bakery. Um,

00:29:34.800 but then when it comes to YouTube, a multi-billion dollar conglomerate, now they say, Oh, it's a

00:29:42.300 private business. They can do what they want. It is exactly reversed. The, the, the bakery has no,

00:29:50.360 it has no institutional power. There's has no relationship with government. In fact, the government

00:29:54.360 is against the bakery. There's like this conspiracy of governments on every level

00:29:58.760 from the local to the state to federal trying to take down masterpiece cake shop. And they've

00:30:03.520 been doing it for years now. So they have no power from the government. There's no relationship

00:30:08.100 there. And also no harm is really done on a societal level. If, uh, if a gay couple can't 1.00

00:30:16.820 get a cake from this particular, can't get one particular type of cake from this one particular

00:30:20.460 bakery over on YouTube though, or Facebook or Twitter, you have extraordinarily powerful

00:30:28.360 institutions that are in direct, um, conversation with the government. There's this alliance between

00:30:36.020 these are not independent institutions anymore. There's this alliance between them and the

00:30:41.240 government. Um, and what's, what's the penalty? If these supposed private businesses decide that

00:30:49.140 they don't want to do business with you with, with the bakery, the penalty is, okay, you just got

00:30:54.600 to go down the shop to another bakery and get exactly the same cake you wanted. And you're fine.

00:30:58.200 So it's a, it's a slight inconvenience, but with YouTube and Facebook and Twitter, if they decide

00:31:04.480 they want to de-platform you, they are erasing you from the modern public square, which is on the

00:31:09.060 internet. They're, they are taking your voice out of the conversation. They're basically, they are

00:31:12.820 erasing your perspective and your opinion, and they're depriving you of the ability to participate

00:31:17.180 in the national conversation so-called. Um, which is why the private business thing doesn't, shouldn't

00:31:26.960 apply to them. It's a very different sort of situation. All right. Um, let's go right into this. I

00:31:33.180 think it's an interesting, interesting follow-up. This is from the daily wire. It says a bill with

00:31:36.580 bipartisan support will be introduced in the Senate on Wednesday that would require social media

00:31:41.240 companies to add additional steps to protect children under the age of 16. The kids online

00:31:46.700 safety act co-sponsored by Tennessee Republican senators, our Senator Marsha Blackburn and

00:31:51.720 Connecticut Democrat Senator Richard Blumenthal seeks to increase safety standards in the wake of

00:31:57.160 child safety concerns. The proposed bill requires social media platforms to provide a safe default

00:32:02.460 environment and to help prevent potentially destructive impacts. Um, a statement from Blumenthal's office

00:32:08.920 says the legislation also requires independent audits and supports public scrutiny from experts and

00:32:13.860 academic researchers to ensure that parents and policymakers know whether social media platforms are

00:32:17.920 taking meaningful steps to address risks to kids. Blackburn added protecting our kids and teens online

00:32:23.220 is critically important, particularly since COVID increased our reliance on, on technology. Um,

00:32:29.140 the, uh, let's see. Blumenthal also highlighted the importance of internet safety as a top priority for

00:32:33.960 children. He said the kids online safety act would finally give kids and their parents the tools and

00:32:37.980 safeguards. They need to protect against toxic content and hold big tech accountable for deeply

00:32:42.160 dangerous algorithms. Um, now this is another thing, you know, you, the people who say that we

00:32:52.040 can't put any restrictions on YouTube, um, you know, or the, the, the people that talk about private

00:32:58.920 businesses and, and what sort of restrictions we should have on them. You know, this is now we have a

00:33:03.760 breakdown here and there's a lot of inconsistencies with, um, what kind of rules can we put in place

00:33:07.980 for children. What I would say there is, is first of all, um, I think we, I think we have to acknowledge

00:33:14.780 number one, and this is, this is my only problem. My only issue with trying to make social media,

00:33:20.620 uh, safer for kids. My only issue with it is that social media is, is inherently dangerous for kids.

00:33:31.000 So there is, there is no way to actually make it safer. It's an unsafe thing to do. So if you have,

00:33:36.840 if you have your, uh, 15 year old on Instagram or TikTok, yeah, it could be safer than it is right now

00:33:46.660 because right now they're subjected to just this. It's like a, it's like a broken sewage line

00:33:52.480 spraying directly in their face every time they go on the internet and they have access to all of

00:33:57.060 the worst content in the world, bombarding them at, at, uh, the speed of light, right? So it could be

00:34:04.040 better, but it can never actually be safe. So I go back to the analogy of, you know, it's like,

00:34:08.580 it's like recommending that a drunk driver put their seatbelt on. It's safer if you're going to drink

00:34:15.080 and drive. It's definitely safer to have your seatbelt on, but it's, it's not a safe activity.

00:34:18.580 The better thing is just to not drink and drive in the first place. And the better thing for kids

00:34:22.280 is to not let them on social media to begin with really keep them away from the internet as much

00:34:27.540 as possible. But the reality is that a lot of parents are allowing this, even though they shouldn't.

00:34:33.860 And, um, so can we make the internet a little bit safer for kids? I think obviously we should.

00:34:37.780 And so there, there are two categories, you know, there's, um, restrictions put in place to,

00:34:45.900 to protect adults from so-called harmful content. And then, as I said, there's always this subjective

00:34:52.180 nature of a, what do you mean by harmful exactly? That's one conversation, but with kids, you know,

00:34:59.280 society has a special duty to protect children. And this is a responsibility that, that almost all

00:35:06.500 societies throughout history have recognized without even really needing to talk about it.

00:35:12.320 Um, it's only in modern society where this is, where this is a discussion where we actually have

00:35:17.400 to talk about whether we should do that or not, whether we should protect kids.

00:35:22.460 We're, we're in a position right now where an eight year old kid can just go on the internet

00:35:28.780 and go to Google. And in two seconds, he is bombarded with all of the worst filth. I mean,

00:35:36.820 the kinds of images and things and ideas and acts that, um, even adults prior to modern age never

00:35:43.860 would have encountered. And a kid at eight is exposed to this stuff and continually exposed to it

00:35:49.660 all through his formative years. 0.99

00:35:51.960 And we're so stupid that we actually have a conversation about whether we should do anything 0.99

00:35:59.040 to try to prevent that from happening. We actually have a conversation about whether 1.00

00:36:04.140 there should be any laws in place at all, um, to control these companies and to make sure they

00:36:10.980 put safeguards in place so that at least eight year olds aren't exposed to this filth. We shouldn't

00:36:16.840 need to talk about it. Of course there should be laws. And I think this is a good start.

00:36:19.280 All right. Um, here's the latest on the Kim and Kanye drama from Buzzfeed.

00:36:26.780 I don't know why I'm reading this, but we'll read some of it. Uh, it says fans are expressing

00:36:30.980 concern on social media after Kanye West leaked some distressing messages allegedly from Kim

00:36:35.940 Kardashian. But I'm reading this because everyone's talking about this. And so I assume it must be

00:36:40.580 important because people on the internet don't talk about anything that isn't important. I've learned,

00:36:44.180 but before we get into fans responses, here's a quick reminder of how we reach this point,

00:36:47.940 says Buzzfeed. As I'm sure you're aware, Kim filed for divorce from Kanye who legally changed

00:36:53.660 his name to yay. Did he way back in February, 2021, citing irreconcilable differences. The pair

00:37:00.880 who share four children together, their names are North Saint Chicago and Psalm. This sounds like

00:37:08.180 coordinates on a map. That doesn't sound like names of a kids, um, appeared to be functioning

00:37:12.040 amicably as co-parents in the initial wake of the split. However, things took a turn a few months

00:37:16.880 down the line in October after room. Okay. Who cares? So what's the latest on this? I guess,

00:37:21.060 um, Kim Kardashian is sending Kanye West messages because Kanye West has been going after Kim

00:37:26.800 because she's, uh, as I'm talking about this, I'm wondering why I'm Kim Kardashian is dating Pete

00:37:31.780 Davidson, the SNL guy. And Kanye West is dating some other, some, some other chicks, some, some model

00:37:36.100 and, uh, Kanye West doesn't like Pete Davidson. And so Kim Kardashian has been messaging Kanye

00:37:42.600 saying, please stop talking about this publicly. And then Kanye proceeds to post all of those text

00:37:47.860 messages on Instagram of his wife, his ex-wife begging him to keep everything private. And, um,

00:37:53.840 so it's been a big topic of conversation. People taking both sides of it. Here's what I'll say about

00:37:58.600 this. Um, a couple of general principles. And the first is there is very rarely a clear cut good guy

00:38:08.880 in, in, in a marital dispute. I'm not saying there, there never is. I mean, there are certainly

00:38:15.180 occasions where one person in the relationship is obviously the villain and you can pin the blame

00:38:21.920 on him or her for why everything fell apart. That's the case sometimes, but most of the time it isn't.

00:38:30.020 And, uh, you, you can tell that this is the case because if you've ever been in the proximity

00:38:35.720 of a relationship that's falling apart and maybe you're, you know, you're, you're, you're getting

00:38:40.900 the gossip from one member of that relationship and they're telling you everything and you're 1.00

00:38:44.520 thinking, oh, this other person's a scumbag. I had no idea. And then you think at some point to 0.99

00:38:49.380 talk to the other person and you hear their side of it and you're thinking, well, okay, well, there's

00:38:53.180 a lot of details there that the other person left out. That's almost always the way that it goes

00:38:57.000 because human relationships are very complicated. And when you've got two people, they're married,

00:39:01.860 they've lived together for a long time. Um, they, uh, things start going sour.

00:39:07.940 You're usually, I mean, it takes two people to get married and usually it takes two people,

00:39:12.400 uh, for the marriage to fall apart. It takes the, usually takes the consent of both people in some

00:39:16.940 way. And normally that's because, um, when you listen to both sides, you realize that, oh,

00:39:22.620 both of these people are selfish a-holes. Both of these people are incredibly selfish. We're only 0.99

00:39:28.620 focused on themselves the entire time and that's why everything fell apart. I suspect that's probably

00:39:34.640 the case here. In fact, I'm quite certain it is, um, because they, I don't know all the particulars

00:39:41.380 of their relationship, but before you go on the internet and take sides in something like this, 0.99

00:39:46.420 which is a stupid thing to do, even when you know the people, it could be stupid because you 0.94

00:39:52.240 don't know everything that went on, uh, in that relationship. But when you don't know them and 0.99

00:39:56.080 they're celebrities, it's even dumber to take sides, especially in this case, because here's 0.81

00:40:00.060 what we know. Um, they have four kids and they got divorced. So that's strike one against them. 0.96

00:40:07.460 You know, you have, you have kids now really once you get married, the deal should be sealed

00:40:13.220 because you've made that pledge to your betrothed in sickness and health for life and you get divorced

00:40:19.320 and you're breaking that promise. But when you have four kids, then you just got to suck it up.

00:40:25.780 And if you go through, you go through a rough spot in your marriage, um, that's just something

00:40:29.880 that you deal with. You go to counseling or something, um, instead of throwing your kids

00:40:36.720 into this turmoil. So they've both done that. And also they both immediately went and found other

00:40:42.860 people and are parading around in public with their, with this other person while their kids

00:40:47.080 are watching and aware of all of it. Kanye West is doing that. Kim Kardashian is doing that.

00:40:51.360 So there are no good guys here. I'm afraid to say. All right, let's get now to the comment section.

00:41:11.260 Hey, dailywire.com slash sweet baby comments. If you want to leave a video comment, let's, um,

00:41:16.160 okay, we have a comment here taking issue with my stance, I think on sandwiches. Let's listen to

00:41:21.580 that first. Hey, sweet day Wallace. Just wanted to say, I totally agree that Jersey Mike's absolutely

00:41:29.140 at the top of the chain sandwich restaurant chain, but I disagree where you put Arby's on the list.

00:41:35.900 Arby's should absolutely be number two on the list. It should go Jersey Mike's, Arby's,

00:41:42.460 and then Jimmy John's. If you don't agree with me, cancel me, bro. SBG for life.

00:41:49.880 Um, well, yeah, thanks for that. And I mean, it is an important, an important conversation. Um,

00:41:54.600 you know, normally I'm very quick to ban anyone from the show for being wrong. You are wrong, but,

00:41:58.940 um, you've aired on the right side. I think you've aired on the pro Arby side. And so I'm,

00:42:04.600 I'm, that's acceptable. I'll, I'll, I will allow that. Um, I was ready to get very upset when you,

00:42:11.620 when you first started talking about Arby's, cause I thought you were going to tell me as

00:42:14.480 many people have that they don't even deserve to be in the conversation for best sandwich chain.

00:42:18.980 Uh, and I find that deeply offensive. I mean, Arby's is number one, take sandwich chains out

00:42:23.780 of it when it comes to just sort of like dry fast food drive-through, uh, the kind that you,

00:42:28.480 you know, you might see a sign for on when you're, when you're going down the highway.

00:42:31.460 Um, I put Arby's at the top of that list, certainly above McDonald's, Wendy's, I put them above all

00:42:36.000 that. Uh, you, you always know there's a certain consistent quality with Arby's that you always know

00:42:41.580 you're going to get. Um, so if you want to put them up higher on the list, I'm not going to

00:42:45.680 take issue with that actually. So I won't ban you from the show. I mean, you are wrong

00:42:48.520 because it's, it's still superior when you can go into the sandwich chain and you can actually

00:42:55.820 watch them assemble, uh, the sandwich and then you're not going to have the same sogginess and

00:43:00.040 stuff with the bread and everything. But now we're getting into particulars and, uh, uh, but that's,

00:43:04.540 that's fine. All right, let's go to a clip nine here.

00:43:07.000 Hey Matt, I'm so glad my husband listens to your show. This is my Valentine's gift. I was so excited.

00:43:15.860 I instantly knew who gave him the idea. Sweet baby gang for life.

00:43:20.880 So she's holding, this is a, this is a happy wife with a very attentive and romantic husband who has

00:43:27.700 given her apparently, um, 409 cleaner, some Clorox wipes, uh, Clorox wipes. And then I can't tell

00:43:33.840 what she's, Oh, uh, some rubber gloves, some cleaning supplies. So it look, I, I, you can tell

00:43:39.620 from, from her expression, this might be the smile of a woman who just, if you were to pan the camera

00:43:45.980 a little bit, you would see her husband dead on the floor and his blood is spoiling on the floor.

00:43:50.520 Maybe that's why she has the, uh, the rubber gloves there. Cause she's cleaning it up. That 1.00

00:43:53.500 might be the smile we're seeing there. I don't know, but look women. Um, if I've learned anything, 0.70

00:43:59.780 I've been, as you know, married for 10 years, I'm an, I'm a love guru. I'm an expert in this

00:44:03.480 live women. They spend a lot of time in the kitchen, spend a lot of time cleaning. And, 1.00

00:44:08.460 uh, they, when it comes to gifts, they always value practicality. So that's why, you know,

00:44:14.940 you know, they don't want jewelry. What are you gonna do with jewelry? What are you gonna do

00:44:17.580 with flowers? They want things that they can use vacuum toaster cleaning supplies. Take it from me. 1.00

00:44:24.480 All right. Um, this is from two sides. One stone says, I never understood the sticks and stones

00:44:32.780 narrative ever since I was a child, physical assault slash abuse has proven to be far easier

00:44:37.560 to overcome than psychological abuse. We have a need for more and better psychologists for a reason

00:44:43.440 while, while physical therapists are a dime a dozen, it's a coward's way out to pass the responsibility

00:44:49.140 onto the child because the adult doesn't have the guts to, to discipline children or approach

00:44:54.340 parents of other children. You're being bullied. Not me. Here's a catchy tune. So I don't have to

00:44:58.900 do anything. Now leave me alone. Then kids commit suicide and no one saw it coming shifting blame yet

00:45:04.680 again. Okay. Um, first of all, I would take, uh, the, the abuse of a child by an adult. We're going to

00:45:14.620 put that into, obviously I think into a separate category here. Um, if a, if a child is, is the victim

00:45:22.540 of a sustained abuse by an adult, then no one is going to look at that child and say sticks and

00:45:27.180 stones, right? Of course, what we're talking about is, um, the kind of run of the mill things that you

00:45:35.140 run into as a human being in the world, an adult with another adult who says something mean to you,

00:45:41.200 or as a child, when you're at school and kids say mean things to you, that's just part of being a

00:45:46.040 human being. And that's where the sticks and stones rhyme. I think actually does apply. It's

00:45:51.880 a good reminder and it's true. Now you say kids, kids commit suicide, um, at alarming rates and they 0.94

00:45:58.660 do. And oftentimes we link that to bullying at school and that sort of thing, but kids don't

00:46:04.860 commit suicide because of words that are said to them. Okay. There's no, there's not a direct causal

00:46:11.400 link there or, or at the very least you're leaving something out, a really important ingredient.

00:46:17.440 They commit suicide because of the weight that they put on those words, the weight that they put

00:46:25.560 on the approval of their peers. That's why we're seeing this, um, uptick in childhood suicide. And

00:46:33.000 I say uptick because, you know, 60, 70 years ago, you just, this kind of thing, it almost never

00:46:38.380 happened. You just didn't hear about it happening. And now it's quite common. Um,

00:46:44.440 and why is that kids these days depend on their peers approval to a really obsessive, overwhelming

00:46:53.000 degree. And I don't blame the kids for that. It's not their fault. They didn't create the society

00:46:59.360 that they're in now, but they're thrust into an environment. First of all, many of them, they go to

00:47:04.960 school. Um, and they're with their peers physically for, you know, six or seven hours a day, five days

00:47:11.320 a week, nine months a year for 12 or 13 years. So they, this is, they spend most of their time

00:47:15.160 with their peers and they feel like it's, it's, it's almost survival. They need their, their peers

00:47:19.760 to approve, approve of them. Um, and kids also, they're not very good at, at looking at things

00:47:26.640 longterm. Adults aren't good at it either. So a kid, you know, you might tell him that, Hey, look,

00:47:32.880 you're going to graduate high school and you're never going to see most of these people ever

00:47:35.620 again. And a lot of the bullies are going to look back 10 years after you graduate and their

00:47:39.540 lives are miserable and everything. You can tell them that, but they just can't, they can't see

00:47:42.640 that. All they see is what's right in front of them and this environment that they're in every

00:47:45.720 day. And so they, they need the approval of the people that they spend all this time with.

00:47:49.480 And then you add to that, um, the internet and social media, where even after they leave

00:47:56.660 the physical school building, they're still in this peer culture. They're still, they still carry

00:48:02.720 their friends around with them in their pockets and they can't escape it ever. And it becomes

00:48:07.360 suffocating. It's overwhelming. Um, and because they depend so much, then psychologically on their

00:48:13.980 peers approval, when they get mean comments, when they, when that approval is taken away from them,

00:48:18.180 it becomes this catastrophe. The point of sticks and stones is to emphasize though, that a person's

00:48:24.620 words only have the power that you give it. So there, there, there is an important message there

00:48:30.560 that yeah, a person might say something mean to you and they might want to hurt you, but it only,

00:48:37.260 it can only hurt you if you care about that person's opinion. If you choose to put weight on that person's

00:48:44.760 words, that's the only way you can be hurt by what they say to you. And it's the reason why people say

00:48:50.220 mean things to me all the time. And none of it hurts me because I don't care what any of them

00:48:55.360 think. Their opinions mean nothing to me. And that's the point of the message. If somehow you

00:49:38.680 to fight the insidious attack on America is to expose the source from within introducing one of the 0.63

00:49:43.940 daily wire's newest projects, the enemy within our new series, featuring acclaimed journalist and

00:49:48.560 expert in national threats, Lee Smith in the show. Smith uncovers a political coup orchestrated by

00:49:53.720 America's ruling elites to generate their own wealth and power at the expense of the American

00:49:57.560 people's safety and freedom from Fauci to our educational system to Hollywood and everything

00:50:01.640 in between each episode will take you deep into what's going on behind the scenes. What those who

00:50:06.360 are supposed to be protecting you don't want you to know, check out the trailer.

00:50:09.680 What if everything we think we know about our leaders,

00:50:14.300 our society and our relations with the rest of the world is wrong?

00:50:22.300 America is facing two major challenges. One is the Chinese Communist Party. However, 0.98

00:50:28.200 the most significant threat comes from within. You're trying to obscure responsibility for 4

00:50:35.300 million people dying around the world. Okay, Senator Paul, you do not know what you are talking about.

00:50:40.980 We've already seen evidence of how the elites want to run the United States. They're modeling

00:50:46.180 themselves after Chinese autocracy. For over a decade, the People's Republic of China

00:50:52.280 has stood publicly accused of acts of cruelty and wickedness that match the cruelty and wickedness

00:51:01.720 of many evil torturers and executions. Diane Feinstein had a Chinese spy as her driver for 20 years.

00:51:12.920 We're not talking about one person infiltrating senior levels at the CIA or the White House. We're

00:51:19.960 talking about an entire elite class throughout the political, corporate, academic, cultural and media

00:51:27.480 established. My name is Lee Smith. I've been a journalist for more than 30 years. This is the most

00:51:34.200 astonishing espionage and infiltration operation in history. What you're going to see in this series

00:51:42.040 will shock you. This is the Enemy Within.

00:51:57.480 The Enemy Within will start streaming this Friday, February 18th, exclusively at Daily Wire. So if

00:52:02.560 you're not a member, now's the time to change that. Head to dailywire.com slash subscribe to join us

00:52:07.340 today. Now let's get to our daily cancellation.

00:52:14.120 Today we cancel a gentleman by the name of James Rose. Sorry, I suppose I should refer to him as a

00:52:20.040 gentleman rather than man because he identifies as a they, as multiple people. On his website,

00:52:25.340 James says that he is a gender fluid actor living in New York City and also includes this note.

00:52:31.120 James writes about gender liberation, eating disorders, trauma, sex, their feelings and their

00:52:37.140 exes on Instagram where they intend to leave the world a little better than they found it.

00:52:41.920 Because, you know, there's no better way to improve the world than by talking about your

00:52:44.360 feelings on Instagram. But James is not just a gender fluid actor and Instagram diarist. He's also

00:52:49.160 a self-described gender educator. Now you may have noticed that literally anyone can describe

00:52:53.680 themselves as an educator these days, which is no surprise because literally anyone can describe

00:52:57.500 themselves as literally anything these days. No labels have any meaning. Words are all empty in

00:53:02.500 this utopia of ours. So shoot for the moon. I mean, speaking of which, I'm going to start describing

00:53:06.080 myself as an astronaut. In fact, I'm a gender astronaut. What does that mean? Well, it's up to

00:53:12.440 me to decide. Your job is to listen and nod your head respectfully as if you know what I'm even trying

00:53:17.420 to say. That brings us back to James, who in his role as gender educator will often post TikTok videos

00:53:22.420 lecturing cis women, as he calls them, about all of their many failures and foibles. Most recently, 0.99

00:53:28.140 he posted a video explaining to women that they're not allowed to feel uncomfortable when penises are 0.98

00:53:33.200 flying around in front of their faces in the locker room. Listen to him. A lot of cis women share this 0.96

00:53:37.600 sentiment, and I do want to break it down. This may be uncomfortable to sit through and to listen to,

00:53:41.420 and I think that's why it's important that we do this. Feeling like trans people are a threat to you 1.00

00:53:45.660 in a space like a bathroom or a locker room is actually a version of internalized misogyny,

00:53:49.820 which is not necessarily your fault because it's impossible to divorce our socialization from the

00:53:54.320 prevalence of patriarchy, but it also does mean it's our responsibility to unlearn it for the safety

00:53:58.460 of fellow women, especially trans women. In my experience as a gender educator, the majority of

00:54:03.020 cis women who have experienced violence at the hands of men or just patriarchy or living in today's

00:54:07.900 world see anything that codes to them as remotely masculine, male, etc., and fear it, which in many

00:54:14.480 ways is a survival tactic that makes sense. The difference is when we code trans people as the

00:54:19.400 wrong gender, we're actually doing them way more a disservice than we are protecting ourselves because 0.99

00:54:23.600 you're ostracizing and further alienating trans people. The false media narrative and trope around

00:54:29.000 trans people is that we are predators that are tricking people into thinking that we're something

00:54:32.760 that we're not, which is of course not true. Watch the documentary Disclosure on Netflix if you want

00:54:36.960 more on that. So being uncomfortable with trans people in your space is something that you were taught,

00:54:41.360 and you can unlearn that. It's important to recognize that we can't tell someone's gender by their

00:54:45.360 presentation, by their genitals, by the way that they look. All of that can be changed. All of that is 0.78

00:54:50.340 arbitrary. None of that is central to your identity necessarily. You know, if the word

00:54:55.460 mansplaining has any application at all, that would have to be it, I think. So let me translate. Here's what

00:55:01.200 our friend James is saying to the ladies out there. He's saying, shut up, you stupid girls, and let him get 1.00

00:55:06.500 naked in front of you. And people like this often get away with saying the most hideous things and being 1.00

00:55:10.960 absolute tyrannical bullies and predators, because for one thing, they're in an improved victim group,

00:55:16.720 but also because of this grating, irritating, faux-compassionate tone they use. Now, any 0.77

00:55:22.120 semi-aware person can recognize that this smug little bastard is being condescending and patronizing as 0.99

00:55:28.280 hell, and that he's doing it in an effort to emotionally black male women into allowing men to 1.00

00:55:33.720 sexually harass them. But the dumber, non-aware people, a large demographic in this culture these 1.00

00:55:38.900 days, unfortunately, will hear this and they'll say, well, he sounds like he's being nice. We 0.99

00:55:42.580 should listen to whatever he says. The interesting thing is that James's message, which is often the

00:55:48.660 message of trans activists, is that your feelings as a woman are not valid. He all but comes out and 0.73

00:55:54.860 says that. Your feelings don't matter. You need to change your feelings. In fact, he knows more about

00:56:01.600 your feelings than you do. He's conducted a therapeutic diagnosis of all the women in the country all at 0.93

00:56:06.760 once, and he's decided that your discomfort with strange penis in a locker room is internalized 0.99

00:56:12.380 misogyny. Did you get that? So if you, as a woman, do not want to see him as a male get naked in front 0.99

00:56:19.580 of you, you are a misogynist. You are now essentially the man in that exchange, not him, and he is the

00:56:26.600 victim of your misogyny. This is coercion of the most twisted kind, all in an effort to compel women

00:56:32.920 to sit quietly while men expose themselves. Louis C.K. was canceled with righteous fury by the mob

00:56:39.900 when he exposed himself in front of women, except that in his case, he asked for permission ahead of

00:56:45.220 time. Doesn't make it okay, but he did. Still, it was argued that even with consent, there was

00:56:51.340 implicit coercion because of the power that he had over the women in the interaction. Well, what about men

00:56:58.580 who do not ask for permission before exposing themselves and who apply explicit coercion to

00:57:04.840 shame women into silence and acquiescence? By the standard already applied to many high-profile men

00:57:11.380 in much more ambiguous circumstances, these guys are sex predators. Now, the simplified view of our

00:57:19.460 cultural ethos is that feelings are given first priority. Feelings matter above all else.

00:57:24.220 I've often said this myself as recently as yesterday. And it's true, but the statement

00:57:29.940 needs qualification because it's more accurate to say that some people's feelings matter above all

00:57:35.140 else. If feelings in general were given pride of place, then James Rose would be roundly condemned

00:57:41.620 by everybody for recording videos lecturing women about the illegitimacy of their feelings.

00:57:48.700 He's allowed to do this because his feelings as a member of the LGBT camp are of utmost importance.

00:57:54.660 Primary importance. But the feelings of a woman, especially a white cisgender woman, quote-unquote,

00:58:00.720 don't necessarily rank at all. And when her feelings are made to contest with the feelings of the sacred

00:58:06.380 alphabet people, her feelings are then ascribed a negative value. Her feelings aren't just unimportant,

00:58:12.660 they're bad, they're shameful. They are a sin that must be punished, a disease that must be cured.

00:58:17.860 See, if the left put an overemphasis on everybody's feelings and they were obsessively concerned with

00:58:23.980 making sure that nobody ever felt sad or uncomfortable, that would still be bad and

00:58:28.300 dangerous in its own way. But at least we could call them well-intentioned. We could even say that their

00:58:32.020 problem is an overabundance of compassion or a kind of misdirected, misappropriated compassion.

00:58:37.860 Either way, they would be good people. They'd be nice people. A little bit too nice. Just

00:58:44.140 misguided. That's not the case, though. On balance, it turns out that they care less about

00:58:51.140 feelings than even I do. Because there's only a very select group of people whose feelings rank

00:58:56.860 at all, and everybody else can go to hell, they say. Let's look at one more clip from James as

00:59:02.200 he now responds to some of the comments taking issue with the video we just played. Listen to this.

00:59:07.320 See, you've caught me at the time when I'm not feeling diplomatic and I'm just going to yell.

00:59:10.260 This is a horrible comment. And I don't need to defend any of my behavior, aka walking down the

00:59:14.620 street as a freaking non-binary woman. But I'm gonna. Feeling uncomfortable with trans people walking 1.00

00:59:19.020 down the street is just your transphobia. Because as a fellow femme, I understand the danger and the

00:59:23.980 terror and the fear of walking around on the street, especially at night. I live in New York

00:59:28.220 City. Don't even get me started. And because I'm aware of what it feels like to be on the receiving

00:59:32.200 end of that as a femme and as a non-binary woman, when I see another potentially feminine presenting 1.00

00:59:37.660 person in front of me, I will say things like, coming behind on your left or just don't want to

00:59:42.340 scare you, coming behind on your right. Something that lets them know that I'm there so they don't

00:59:45.980 feel fear. And I do this as a courtesy on the off chance they misgender me and think I'm a man.

00:59:50.000 That's just camaraderie and looking out for each other. The fact that you feel like I would be

00:59:53.680 unsafe on the street is literally just a coding for I don't conceptualize you as a non-binary person

00:59:58.780 or as a woman. I don't need that energy on my page. Get out. So somehow we've gone from talking 0.97

01:00:03.800 about locker rooms to walking down the street. I'm not sure when that shift in the conversation

01:00:08.300 happened. But even so, first of all, note how he, a male, identifies as a non-binary woman.

01:00:15.560 Now, non-binary, if it means anything at all, which it doesn't, means that someone is not a man or a

01:00:21.160 woman. So he, a male, is also a woman, but also neither a man nor a woman, but also a man.

01:00:26.880 And not only does he hold this incoherent jumble of self-identities in his confused head,

01:00:31.360 but it also is your responsibility as a woman to know that just by looking at him as he passes by

01:00:38.320 in the street. Now, James and his generosity, he will give you permission as a woman to be nervous

01:00:44.880 when you're alone at night and a man walks by. He will allow that. So you should say thank you to

01:00:51.680 James for that because he's going to let you have that feeling. Say thank you, Mr. James or Miss James

01:00:56.860 or whatever. But if the man walking by identifies as a woman, or if he identifies as a woman who

01:01:03.360 identifies as neither a man nor a woman, but is a man, then you must not feel nervous.

01:01:09.460 You must intuit his self-perception in that moment. You must absorb it into your being in a split

01:01:15.980 second. And if you don't, then you're a transphobe. This is the way the world works,

01:01:21.720 according to this pompous, overbearing, megalomaniacal ass. You must conform to his 1.00

01:01:28.860 version of the world. That's what you have to do. Or you can simply tell this person and every

01:01:35.020 bullying narcissist like him to piss off. And also you can tell him that he is canceled. And that's 0.97

01:01:40.780 what I would recommend. And we'll leave it there for today. Thanks for watching. Thanks for listening.

01:01:44.660 Have a great day. Godspeed.
