The Matt Walsh Show - Ep. 908 - Screaming Mob Protests My Speech But Can't Explain Why

00:00:00.000 Today on the Matt Wall Show, protesters made a scene at my Georgia Tech speech last night,

00:00:04.280 though further investigation indicates that they didn't know exactly why they were there or what

00:00:08.600 they were mad about. No surprise, I suppose. Also, the White House debriefed TikTok stars on the

00:00:13.520 Ukraine situation, and now those influencers are dutifully repeating the government propaganda

00:00:18.460 assigned to them. Plus, some parents are upset about the new Pixar film, claiming that it's not

00:00:22.480 appropriate for children. We'll take a look at their complaints and see if they're justified.

00:00:25.640 An NBA player complains that insults and heckling from fans is causing him mental pain and anguish.

00:00:32.060 Now, we've heard the same thing from a number of female athletes, though the public reaction is 0.56

00:00:35.900 quite a bit different, and we'll try to figure out why that could be the case. And what exactly is

00:00:39.980 public health equity? Well, it's more than a jobs program for bureaucrats, though it's mainly that,

00:00:45.200 but it's more than that as well. We'll discuss that and much more today on the Matt Wall Show.

00:00:55.640 You know, we're living in a fast-changing world, and one of the best ways to succeed in it is to

00:02:16.700 So last night, as scheduled, I gave my talk at Georgia Tech in the lead-up to the NCAA Women's

00:02:24.600 Swimming Championship, where a biological male will compete against and dominate the females.

00:02:30.000 I wanted to explain why this was wrong, but I wasn't there just to talk about women's sports.

00:02:33.860 I was, you know, there to talk about, and the whole speech is available on my YouTube channel.

00:02:38.040 As you'll see, if you watch it, our discussion went far beyond sports and into issues surrounding

00:02:42.660 language, biology, logic, basic fundamental truths of life, you know, all these sorts of

00:02:49.140 things.

00:02:49.800 At one point in the speech, I spent about five minutes talking about what the words male and

00:02:54.200 female mean and explaining that men cannot have babies. 1.00

00:02:58.820 And it occurred to me, as I was getting into this part of the speech, how sad and deeply

00:03:03.500 tragic it is that we've reached a point in society where a podcaster without a college

00:03:08.680 degree has to go to colleges and give basic biology lessons.

00:03:11.780 But that's where we are, and that's where I was last night.

00:03:15.420 Of course, there were many students at the school who did not want me there.

00:03:19.400 And as we talked about yesterday, the local Antifa chapter collaborated with the leftists

00:03:24.200 at the school to try and sabotage the event.

00:03:26.720 Based on what they were posting on the internet, it seems that there was an attempt to reserve

00:03:31.280 a bunch of the tickets ahead of time, preventing people who wanted to actually attend from being

00:03:35.480 able to attend.

00:03:36.880 But that plan proved futile as there was a line stretching around the building to get into

00:03:41.340 the event.

00:03:42.260 And we ended up having a packed house, and it was a great event.

00:03:45.560 The wannabe saboteurs were mostly crowded out of the room by the Sweet Baby Gang, which

00:03:51.760 showed up in great numbers.

00:03:53.420 That didn't stop one guy from making an attempt anyway.

00:03:56.400 About a minute or two into my speech, he stood up on his desk with a rather bizarre sign.

00:04:01.620 And I think that we were talking about this afterwards.

00:04:03.780 It seems as though he thought that some other leftists would join him in this demonstration.

00:04:10.400 I don't think he thought he'd be the only one, but I'm guessing they coordinated this

00:04:15.560 ahead of time and said, OK, we're all going to stand up early in the speech and make a

00:04:18.640 big thing.

00:04:19.740 But nobody else did.

00:04:20.820 It was only him.

00:04:22.580 So we all just ended up having a good laugh at his expense while he was ushered out of

00:04:26.020 the room rather quickly.

00:04:27.300 But it was a lot of fun.

00:04:28.720 It was a good moment.

00:04:29.320 So let's watch that.

00:04:29.920 Here it is.

00:04:30.260 But the most important thing to establish for our purposes today is that he is a man.

00:04:34.460 He is a he. 1.00

00:04:36.100 And that will never change.

00:04:39.140 That won't change.

00:04:40.740 No matter what kind of poster you hold, it doesn't change.

00:04:44.880 That fact.

00:04:47.500 At least the poster's laminated, because I saw some posters out there.

00:04:51.500 I appreciate the effort.

00:04:55.960 I saw some protesters out there were holding signs on loose-leaf paper.

00:04:59.720 It's like, come on.

00:05:00.920 This guy, he took the time to laminate that thing with whatever that is.

00:05:04.860 And I really appreciate it.

00:05:07.060 Like he had to go down to office space or, you know, he had to go down to Staples with

00:05:12.080 that thing.

00:05:12.560 All right.

00:05:13.400 Anyway.

00:05:17.500 Leah Thomas is a man.

00:05:18.660 Back to the subject at hand here.

00:05:20.500 I did appreciate the lamination on the sign.

00:05:23.980 I mean, he obviously took a certain pride in the work, and I commend him for that.

00:05:27.680 But he did make a few mistakes, like typing the letters in white with a pink background,

00:05:32.580 making it difficult to read what the sign actually said.

00:05:35.520 The sign apparently made some kind of reference to, quote, femboy furry porn.

00:05:40.780 Now, I don't know what that is.

00:05:43.860 That guy apparently does know what that is and felt the need to announce it to the audience.

00:05:47.920 He wasn't the only leftist in the audience, I should say.

00:05:49.840 There were a few others who perhaps understandably chose not to join the furry porn fan in his

00:05:56.260 demonstration.

00:05:57.560 Instead, they sat there at their desks, flipping me off at various points throughout my remarks,

00:06:02.220 shaking their heads in disapproval and finally storming out of the room.

00:06:05.480 I actually didn't notice any of this that even was happening.

00:06:09.500 I was told about it later.

00:06:10.660 I didn't notice that they marched out.

00:06:11.860 I just wasn't paying attention to them.

00:06:13.780 The rest of the protesters were outside, being a bit more vocal and explicit.

00:06:16.620 Of course, they marched around with signs accusing me of being a fascist, 0.80

00:06:21.400 chanting that I was killing children somehow.

00:06:24.960 They also reportedly chanted trans rights are human rights for literally five minutes straight,

00:06:29.960 I was told.

00:06:31.520 And as the attendees, people who were at my event, as they left,

00:06:35.060 they were accosted by the protesters, cussing them out and calling them fascist as well.

00:06:39.980 So to be clear, the audience members were fascists for simply listening to what I

00:06:46.520 had to say.

00:06:48.380 I mean, they didn't even all agree with me.

00:06:50.620 They just listened.

00:06:52.860 And so listening to someone else's point of view is now fascism.

00:06:58.380 Because, of course, everything is fascism.

00:07:00.900 At least, though, the protesters were.

00:07:03.520 So that's kind of what you expect. 0.95

00:07:05.540 Fascist, F you, a lot of that kind of thing. 0.90

00:07:07.880 The protesters were a bit more creative with this chant, though. 0.98

00:07:10.960 And I did appreciate it.

00:07:11.780 Play a clip, too.

00:07:12.680 Matt can't swim.

00:07:15.480 Matt can't swim.

00:07:17.140 Matt can't swim.

00:07:18.880 Matt can't swim.

00:07:20.600 Matt can't swim.

00:07:22.280 Matt can't swim.

00:07:23.920 Matt can't swim.

00:07:26.280 Matt can't swim.

00:07:27.440 I mean, first of all, that's a libelous accusation.

00:07:30.600 I can swim just very poorly.

00:07:33.440 It's more of a more of a treading water sort of thing.

00:07:36.540 Doggy paddle kind of situation.

00:07:38.960 Enough that, you know, if one of my kids is drowning, I can jump in and save them.

00:07:42.880 And I'm not going to drown alongside them.

00:07:45.260 But that's about as far as I can go.

00:07:47.840 I'm just not sure what any of that has to do with the topic at hand.

00:07:50.800 I wonder what insult they'll come up with at my next event.

00:07:54.080 Maybe they'll have a chant mocking me for the fact that I tend to overcook chicken breasts.

00:07:59.520 Maybe claiming that I don't know how to fold fitted sheets.

00:08:02.720 Both of those would be true, by the way.

00:08:05.360 I just I don't you know, I don't mean to give them any ideas.

00:08:07.720 In any case, perhaps the most instructive moment, I thought, came when one protester, who we should note, put much less effort into his sign.

00:08:16.540 I think it looks like he stole a dry erase board from one of the classrooms and just wrote on the dry erase board.

00:08:21.220 There's some efficiency there, I guess.

00:08:22.520 You can always change the message and everything.

00:08:24.180 So I can appreciate that.

00:08:25.220 I just I could have used a little bit more color, a little bit more flair in it.

00:08:28.260 But he was asked by someone who was there.

00:08:33.620 And Twitter account, by the way, is at rapid fire underscore pod is the person who is this got this footage for proper attribution.

00:08:40.960 Anyway, asked, what is it about why are you here?

00:08:43.920 Well, you know, you've got this sign.

00:08:45.640 What is it that you don't like about this guy?

00:08:47.860 What's the problem?

00:08:49.340 And here's what he had to say.

00:08:50.960 I have a sign over here that says Matt Walsh, TPUSA.

00:08:55.220 Talk to us about the sign.

00:08:56.360 Why is this important to you today? 1.00

00:08:58.140 Because I think Matt Walsh is an idiot and dangerous to people. 1.00

00:09:03.780 And yeah, that's really all I have to say on that. 1.00

00:09:06.440 Number one thing Matt Walsh has said that's pissed you off that made you hold up that sign today.

00:09:10.640 Oh, God.

00:09:11.820 I'd have to go back and look through his Twitter.

00:09:14.260 I know I see all the time.

00:09:15.520 Just give me one.

00:09:16.320 I mean, we're holding the Matt Walsh sign.

00:09:18.100 Just give me one, one thing.

00:09:19.900 I mean, I know Matt Walsh has consistently said that, you know, trans women are not real 0.84

00:09:26.120 women. 0.97

00:09:26.540 Trans men are not real men. 1.00

00:09:28.000 When it's proven by science that trans women are in fact women. 0.98

00:09:31.940 Trans men are in fact men. 1.00

00:09:33.460 It doesn't have to do with your born sex.

00:09:36.940 It is that you feel like you are a woman and that's okay.

00:09:40.500 Like you don't have to conform to what the society says.

00:09:46.720 So if you decided that you wanted to identify as a woman today, is that something that we

00:09:51.300 would label him as?

00:09:52.240 He's a woman at that point.

00:09:54.120 She's a woman. 0.82

00:09:54.920 She's a woman at that point.

00:09:56.220 Got it.

00:09:56.560 Got to use the correct pronouns.

00:09:57.560 All right.

00:09:57.980 So we've got women, trans women aren't women. 1.00

00:10:00.480 What about you?

00:10:01.280 Trans women are women. 0.90

00:10:02.500 Well, that Matt Walsh has said that has made us hold this sign today.

00:10:05.420 What about you?

00:10:06.000 What does Matt Walsh say?

00:10:07.800 Let's see.

00:10:08.360 There's a lot of stuff about January 6th. 0.99

00:10:13.260 Like, honestly, I get so confused with all these right-wing sh**holes. 0.98

00:10:18.220 It's hard to keep track of who says what. 0.98

00:10:20.340 But I know I've seen some stuff he said and I know I wasn't a fan. 1.00

00:10:24.140 So f**k him. 0.99

00:10:25.380 I love how he's making no attempt to project any confidence whatsoever about what he says. 1.00

00:10:31.220 You know, I don't like him because Matt Walsh is an idiot, I think. 1.00

00:10:36.720 And dangerous. 1.00

00:10:38.880 Right?

00:10:39.320 He's dangerous.

00:10:39.820 That's what we're saying about him?

00:10:40.720 Okay.

00:10:42.060 He ends all of his statements like where there's a question mark at the end, which, by the way, is a problem in general with young people today, if I might say.

00:10:49.980 They all tend to speak as if the ends of their sentences all have question marks.

00:10:53.980 But that's another matter.

00:10:56.100 But listen, he knows he's seen some stuff.

00:10:59.220 That's the point.

00:11:00.340 And he knows he's seen some stuff that I've said and it was not good stuff.

00:11:07.120 And that's all he needs to know.

00:11:08.580 But most importantly, he knows that he's supposed to hate me.

00:11:12.540 And so he does.

00:11:13.800 Also, January 6th, he throws in there.

00:11:16.440 Because everybody knows that I'm a famous supporter of the Capitol riots.

00:11:19.880 I was actually at the Capitol that day doing a tap dance on top of Nancy Pelosi's desk.

00:11:26.320 I guess I shouldn't joke about that or the feds are going to bust down the door any minute now.

00:11:29.980 Anyway, he has no clue why I'm terrible.

00:11:32.600 He just knows that I must be.

00:11:33.640 The girl standing next to him, on the other hand, at least quotes me accurately.

00:11:37.620 She is correct that I think trans women aren't women because they aren't. 1.00

00:11:42.200 She is, of course, incorrect in her claim that science proves otherwise.

00:11:45.780 But one out of two ain't bad.

00:11:48.020 Now, this all might seem pretty funny.

00:11:51.040 And it is.

00:11:52.140 No question about that.

00:11:53.920 But what's the point of going into these environments and kicking at the hornet's nest like this?

00:11:58.940 As I mentioned yesterday, my next stop is going to be at UNT,

00:12:01.680 where they chase the last conservative speakers out of the room,

00:12:05.100 forcing them to hide in the closet.

00:12:07.480 That's where we'll be going next.

00:12:08.740 Now, why would I want to go there, of all places?

00:12:11.060 I mean, why do any of this?

00:12:12.860 What's the point?

00:12:13.380 Well, one reason to go to these places is that college campuses have become extremely hostile to the truth.

00:12:19.680 Not just to open dialogue or to free speech or whatever,

00:12:23.220 although it is hostile to that as well, of course.

00:12:25.360 But for me, that's not the main point.

00:12:27.740 The main point is the hostility to truth.

00:12:29.600 And wherever the truth is least welcome is precisely the place where it's needed most.

00:12:34.780 Those are the places where we should go.

00:12:37.480 You know, if you're talking to, if you're in an environment where everybody agrees,

00:12:43.020 like everyone understands basic common sense things about biology and all of this,

00:12:47.580 then some of these, you know, it's still important to reinforce the truth and to talk about it.

00:12:52.020 But some of this wouldn't be needed.

00:12:53.880 But it is because of this hostility to truth.

00:12:56.760 So that's one reason.

00:12:57.460 Another reason is that I'm, frankly, a stubborn, antagonistic kind of guy.

00:13:01.300 And when people tell me that I can't say certain things or go certain places,

00:13:03.840 it just makes me want to go those places and say those things even more.

00:13:08.000 But the other even more important reason is that, is that, as I've said before,

00:13:11.700 and this is a very important thing for us all to grapple with,

00:13:15.560 that there is no natural wake-up call coming for these kids, okay? 0.99

00:13:24.020 The conservatives who've comforted themselves with this notion that, ah, it's just a bunch of silly kids. 0.98

00:13:30.440 They're going to get out into the real world and they'll wake up pretty fast. 0.97

00:13:33.620 The conservatives who think that, and have been saying this for forever,

00:13:36.940 they're the ones who are in for a wake-up call.

00:13:39.120 And I don't know why it hasn't happened yet for them.

00:13:41.740 These kids who are allergic to basic truth, who chant fascist at anybody they disagree with,

00:13:47.940 who hate people like me, even though they don't even know why they hate me,

00:13:52.720 these kids will be entering a culture that is set up to keep them in that state of delusion, ignorance, and fear.

00:14:01.020 A lot of older people are in that same state, as we've seen, especially over the last two years,

00:14:10.500 but before that as well.

00:14:12.580 And so we can't wait around for people to wake up.

00:14:17.040 We have to go to them and wake them up, which means being a little aggressive,

00:14:21.860 and perhaps confrontational, and even rude at times.

00:14:25.760 Because the only other option is to let them, and millions more, remain stupefied and hypnotized forever.

00:14:34.700 Because that's what will happen.

00:14:37.060 Now let's get to our five headlines.

00:14:44.600 You know, when it comes to keeping the house clean, having a bunch of kids,

00:14:47.280 not to mention having the dog in the house,

00:14:48.900 it's a double-edged sword because they cause a lot of mess.

00:14:53.440 I mean, a lot of mess.

00:14:54.720 But then also, you've got to be careful about the chemicals that you bring in to clean up the mess

00:14:59.240 because you have kids in the home.

00:15:00.860 So that's why I'm so grateful for Naturally It's Clean.

00:16:00.200 To make matters worse, they did all of that also.

00:16:03.900 Of course, I have to mention they did all.

00:16:05.660 All of this was going on.

00:16:06.920 All of this happened to the nation's most revered and beloved and celebrated

00:16:10.200 LGBTQ plus children's author.

00:16:12.580 I mean, that is just, that's the insult to injury with all of this.

00:16:19.200 It's not even safe for the best-selling children's author of all time,

00:16:25.260 which is what I've decided I am now, to go to a college campus.

00:16:30.520 Okay, so I've got to mention this at the top.

00:16:32.660 I can't pretend that this is the most important news story.

00:16:35.140 We'll get to some news that's maybe a little bit more important.

00:16:36.920 But this is just, it's the greatest story of the year so far.

00:16:41.500 So that's why I mentioned you at the top of the five headlines.

00:16:43.740 So down in Australia, the prime minister came up with something called the

00:16:48.020 Women's Network, which is, and we're in international women's, I think this is

00:16:52.400 Women's Month or Women's History Month, something like that.

00:16:55.040 Because we've got Women's History Day and International Women's Day and all

00:16:58.700 these, but then you also have to have the entire month as well.

00:17:01.080 So we're in the middle of Women's Month.

00:17:03.140 And so the Australian prime minister came up with this thing called the

00:17:06.660 Women's Network, which is supposed to, quote, promote gender equality and

00:17:10.800 support members to succeed in their personal professional lives.

00:17:14.540 And they had a logo that they came up with for this, which I'll let you see

00:17:18.960 here.

00:17:19.240 And I hope that you're watching the video so that you can appreciate this.

00:17:22.020 This is real, okay?

00:17:23.560 This is the logo.

00:17:24.320 Take a look at it.

00:17:25.300 I want you to look at that.

00:17:26.960 That's, this is, I had to double, triple, quadruple check this because when I saw it,

00:17:31.700 I'm like, there's no way that cannot be real.

00:17:35.000 There's no way that happened.

00:17:36.220 And it did.

00:17:36.860 This actually happened.

00:17:39.000 So if you're listening to the audio podcast, I will tell you that the logo looks like,

00:17:43.340 I mean, it looks like a portrait of a man named Richard.

00:17:45.500 It looks, it is, it is, it looks like it's designed to be phallic in appearance.

00:17:50.380 It looks like a, it looks like a male, you know, situation. 0.99

00:17:53.700 And it's, it's a penis. 0.99

00:17:54.840 Okay. 1.00

00:17:55.000 That's what I'm saying. 1.00

00:17:56.000 That's a penis. 0.99

00:17:57.160 It's just, it's what it is for the Women's Network. 0.99

00:18:01.120 Now the logo had to be taken down and it's going to be changed as you might expect.

00:18:04.540 And apparently this was not done on purpose.

00:18:09.120 Now you might, you might think that it was done on purpose.

00:18:12.580 And that was my, after I realized that this was not a joke, my second thought was, okay,

00:18:16.180 well, they must've done this on purpose because they're trying to make the point now that, 0.98

00:18:20.640 so to speak, make the point that these days women can have penises too. 1.00

00:18:25.520 And so maybe this is what they were trying to say. 0.99

00:18:28.360 This, this was their not so subliminal message getting that point across, but then they took

00:18:33.300 it down.

00:18:33.840 So evidently it was an accident.

00:18:35.440 They weren't trying to do that.

00:18:37.440 This thing was designed and it went through however many levels of bureaucracy and, and 0.99

00:18:44.320 nobody noticed that it looked like a penis. 0.99

00:18:50.080 Okay. 0.99

00:18:50.480 This is a government thing.

00:18:51.460 That means that, that means that like nothing ever just happened.

00:18:54.840 There's no efficiency.

00:18:55.560 Nobody just does something and then it's done that probably dozens of people had to sign

00:19:03.580 off on this thing.

00:19:04.440 And none of them stopped and said, you know what? 1.00

00:19:07.480 That looks a lot like a penis. 0.99

00:19:09.800 That's what bureaucracy gets you. 1.00

00:19:11.700 That is what bureaucracy is. 0.99

00:19:13.200 It can't even identify a penis when it's right in front of its face. 0.99

00:19:16.220 All right. 0.98

00:19:18.600 Going to, from Australia back to the United States, where certainly our bureaucracy and

00:19:25.420 our government isn't any less incompetent.

00:19:28.240 The White House convened a meeting.

00:19:29.720 This was a few days ago with top TikTok influencers, giving them a briefing on the Ukraine situation.

00:19:37.960 This also is not a joke.

00:19:40.120 They actually did this.

00:19:41.120 One of the influencers was a girl named Ellie Zeiler, who is famous for making eight second

00:19:47.520 videos where she, she dances.

00:19:49.440 And this is, of course, on TikTok.

00:19:50.780 This is, there are a lot of people who have become famous on TikTok for just dancing and

00:19:56.680 not even full performances, but just eight or nine seconds.

00:20:00.660 And anyway, just as an example, here's one of the videos of Ellie's.

00:20:04.240 I was got, she's got like 10 million fans.

00:20:06.260 Okay.

00:20:06.560 It's a massively famous person.

00:20:09.060 And here she is.

00:20:09.960 Let's watch.

00:20:11.120 Okay.

00:20:20.540 So that's 10 million, 10 million fans for that.

00:20:25.260 Now I'm no one to judge, but, but the dancing isn't even, if you're to tell, look, people

00:20:30.740 have been ever since the invention of modern media, there've been people becoming massively,

00:20:36.420 massively famous because they're good dancers.

00:20:38.200 And I'll admit that I, that there's a certain bias for me because I don't really understand

00:20:42.300 that at all.

00:20:42.980 I don't understand why anyone should get famous and wealthy because they can dance.

00:20:46.900 I mean, who really cares that much?

00:20:48.020 Um, but at least, you know, 30 years ago, you're, you're famous for dancing and it's like you,

00:20:56.180 cause you're like actually a really good dancer.

00:20:58.000 Now that's not even good dancing, right?

00:21:00.240 That's, that's, am I wrong?

00:21:01.940 Again, I'm not a good judge of this, but that is very lackluster dancing.

00:21:05.540 That is just barely a step above a bridesmaid at a wedding in terms of dancing skills. 0.84

00:21:11.680 Maybe not even that good.

00:21:14.460 And that gives you 10 million followers.

00:21:16.260 That's it.

00:21:16.580 That's all you got to do.

00:21:17.280 Just do a couple of moves, five, five, six seconds, 10 million followers.

00:21:21.160 And you're getting invited to the white house for a debriefing on a foreign policy while

00:21:27.000 war rages in Europe.

00:21:28.280 And so they got the debriefing and now all the TikTok influencers, it just so happens.

00:21:33.060 What do you know?

00:21:34.020 They met with Joe Biden and now they're all making videos.

00:21:37.460 And for many of them, this is the, maybe the first time they've actually spoken in a video

00:21:41.720 because usually they're just dancing.

00:21:43.560 And now they're all making videos explaining how all the bad stuff in the world happening

00:21:47.340 right now.

00:21:47.920 It's all Putin's fault.

00:21:48.740 It's definitely not Biden's fault.

00:21:50.520 So here's a Zyler filling in, filling her fans in on this crucial fact.

00:21:54.960 Why is gas so expensive?

00:21:56.420 And why is the United States inflation rate at a four time decade high?

00:22:00.640 I had the opportunity to ask the white house, why gas down the street is $7.

00:22:05.300 And here's what they said.

00:22:06.380 The obvious reason we're getting out of a two year pandemic, when use goes up, price

00:22:11.420 goes up.

00:22:12.480 But the call is predominantly about Ukraine and Russia.

00:22:14.980 So how does that relate?

00:22:16.620 Russia is one of the top three producers of oil and it is actually their number one revenue

00:22:21.580 source.

00:22:22.480 Now with Putin starting this horrific fight between Ukraine and Russia, nobody wants to

00:22:27.260 work with him and do an international trade.

00:22:29.580 So with people being scared of war and limited resources, prices are bound to go up as well.

00:22:34.480 For the people who can't pay $7 for a gallon of gas, there's an app called Gas Buddy that

00:22:39.680 shows you the cheapest gas near you, as well as a link in my bio to donate to the misplaced

00:22:44.400 refugees of Ukraine.

00:22:45.560 So first video she's made that was more than eight seconds long.

00:22:49.800 I mean, that for her, what that because that's like 45 seconds, that is she might as well be 1.00

00:22:54.840 reciting war and peace.

00:22:56.520 This is this is her magnum opus is a 45 second video.

00:23:00.560 And she's she's actually speaking.

00:23:03.300 And and she wants to let us all know that this is all this is all Putin's fault.

00:23:07.960 It's not because it's not Biden's fault.

00:23:10.120 Gas prices and everything, even though gas prices were trending up already.

00:23:15.840 Before all of this, it's still all Putin's fault.

00:23:19.060 We can't blame Joe Biden.

00:23:20.200 But remember something else.

00:23:22.880 All of these other countries, countries that are autocratic, dictatorial.

00:23:31.800 Where you get a lot of propaganda, government propaganda.

00:23:36.760 Media that parades around as as if it's free and independent, but really it's getting all

00:23:41.880 of its talking points and marching orders from the media and from the government.

00:23:44.900 Rather, you know, we don't have that here.

00:23:47.860 We're we're much better than that here.

00:23:49.540 We don't we don't we don't do that.

00:23:50.800 Right.

00:23:52.260 No, of course we do.

00:23:54.200 And there's just there's just something even creepier about it when they're bringing

00:23:59.260 we're used to this from cable news.

00:24:00.800 We're used to the government propaganda from cable news.

00:24:04.280 And most of the people watching cable news, you basically know that that's what you're going

00:24:09.900 to get.

00:24:11.460 OK, so the people watching there are only seven people watching CNN.

00:24:15.440 They're all 65 and older.

00:24:17.020 And they're there because they want the left wing propaganda.

00:24:21.300 MSNBC, it's three.

00:24:22.540 It's actually three people, but they're from the same group of CNN.

00:24:25.760 A few drop off and we'll watch MSNBC again.

00:24:28.120 But they're there because they want the propaganda.

00:24:33.360 And the Biden administration knows that, well, OK, we've got we've got pretty much the entire

00:24:38.060 media except for Fox that will that's at our beck and call.

00:24:40.480 They'll do whatever we want.

00:24:41.600 You know, we blow whistle.

00:24:44.760 They'll come running along like dogs and do what we want them to do.

00:24:47.440 And that's that's great for them.

00:24:49.980 But it only goes so far because of the people that you're accessing.

00:24:53.860 Now, you want to get to younger people.

00:24:55.240 You want to get to kids, people that aren't really prepared, don't don't understand what

00:24:59.460 they're being told.

00:25:00.240 They're just there for the dancing videos.

00:25:03.700 They're not really there and prepared for the propaganda.

00:25:06.180 Makes them more susceptible to it, actually.

00:25:08.700 So that's what the Biden administration is doing.

00:25:10.700 All right.

00:25:11.040 This is from the Daily Wire.

00:25:11.940 Says the West Virginia legislature on Saturday sent a bill banning abortions of babies over

00:25:17.080 a Down syndrome diagnosis to the governor's desk.

00:25:19.840 The West Virginia House of Delegates passed the Unborn Child with Down Syndrome Protection

00:25:23.440 and Education Act in an 81 to 17 vote on Saturday.

00:25:27.220 The state Senate passed the bill 27 to 5 with just five minutes left in the regular legislative

00:25:32.120 session.

00:25:33.120 The measure now goes to the desk of Governor Jim Justice, a Republican.

00:25:36.340 We can assume it will be it will be planned.

00:25:39.360 The bill prohibits abortions of an unborn baby due to a physical or intellectual disability

00:25:45.000 unless a physician can show that the disability is not the mother's primary reason for seeking

00:25:49.820 the abortion.

00:25:50.320 The legislation is also requiring doctors to provide educational information to parents

00:25:55.440 of an unborn child who has just been diagnosed with a disability like Down syndrome.

00:26:01.060 Lawmakers in both chambers attempted to add a more general abortion ban to the bill that 0.94

00:26:05.100 would have prohibited abortions after 15 weeks of pregnancy, but that measure failed.

00:26:09.020 Planned Parenthood, of course, called the abortion bans cruel and dangerous, and they say that

00:26:13.720 it's going to harm the health and futures of Americans.

00:26:16.760 Alex McGill Johnson, Alexis McGill Johnson, the president of Planned Parenthood Action Fund,

00:26:22.400 said, with this bill, politicians have exploited people with disabilities in an attempt to

00:26:26.320 distract us from their real intent to ban abortion in West Virginia.

00:26:32.600 Now, I want you to think about that for just a second.

00:26:34.400 Her claim is that people with disabilities are being exploited by a law that makes it illegal

00:26:42.940 to kill them.

00:26:44.840 So I'll say that again. 1.00

00:26:46.320 People with disabilities are being exploited by a law that makes it illegal to kill them.

00:26:51.840 That's exploitation.

00:26:53.120 To protect them from murder is exploitation.

00:26:55.460 I mean, what do you expect from Planned Parenthood?

00:26:59.760 These are some of the most evil people who have ever lived on planet Earth.

00:27:07.040 And that is not an exaggeration, because what they do for a living is commit, fund, facilitate 0.96

00:27:14.260 the mass murder of babies.

00:27:16.780 And they've killed 60 million over the course of, or the abortion industry in general has killed 0.94

00:27:21.200 60 million, Planned Parenthood specifically has killed tens of millions over the last 40

00:27:25.420 years.

00:27:27.400 There's never just, there's never been anything like it on Earth.

00:27:29.980 There have been, there have been genocides, there have been mass slaughters, there have

00:27:34.400 been all kinds of horrors, but 60 million children being killed specifically in that span of time,

00:27:41.680 nothing like it has ever happened.

00:27:43.640 Never been anything like this. 0.57

00:27:44.920 So these are deeply evil, soulless people who will just say anything.

00:27:50.540 They don't have, they have no capacity for shame. 0.92

00:27:53.160 It doesn't matter to them.

00:27:54.340 So they'll even claim somehow that this, it's cruel and dangerous to say that you can't 0.97

00:27:59.420 kill Down syndrome people. 0.65

00:28:01.920 Now, as far as the bill itself, you can point out that in effect, like what's the actual 0.98

00:28:11.280 effect of this going to be?

00:28:13.420 Like, is it necessary?

00:28:14.740 Do we need these kinds of bills?

00:28:15.720 Well, absolutely.

00:28:16.240 But we need a ban of abortion across the board, obviously. 0.97

00:28:22.340 But also when it comes to children with Down syndrome, they are especially targeted for

00:28:29.740 extermination.

00:28:30.880 And you look at some European countries, there are almost no Down syndrome people left because

00:28:37.420 they're all being exterminated in the womb. 0.92

00:28:38.940 So this is an actual genocide that's happening against a group of people.

00:28:45.260 So there obviously should be laws protecting them.

00:28:47.500 But you look at the language in this law and the fact that, well, you can still get the

00:28:53.300 abortion of the Down syndrome child as long as a doctor will say that it's not because

00:28:58.660 of the Down syndrome.

00:29:00.760 So in effect, it means that it's not really going to stop anybody from getting the abortion

00:29:06.160 because any woman can just go to a doctor and say, yeah, I wanted abortion for any other 1.00

00:29:12.200 reason, just whatever, but for financial reasons, anything.

00:29:15.960 And the doctor will just sign the letter and that's it.

00:29:18.420 And they can still get the abortion. 1.00

00:29:19.320 So it's probably not going to stop any, it's hard to see how it'll actually prevent any

00:29:29.200 of these murders from happening.

00:29:32.200 And also, you know, we know that these bans on abortions, again, should be much broader

00:29:38.840 than, it should protect Down syndrome kids, but also all kids.

00:29:41.880 Um, still, I'm, I'm of the opinion that do anything you can do, any, any, any laws at

00:29:52.560 all that you can pass, restricting abortion to any extent whatsoever, you should pass them.

00:29:59.340 That's, that's kind of where I fall on this.

00:30:01.860 There's always this debate about incrementalism versus an all or nothing philosophy.

00:30:06.820 And I just don't see how you can side with anything other than the incremental approach

00:30:13.680 for not, as long as, as long as you're not satisfied with that.

00:30:17.540 So you pass this bill, this is the bill you can get passed right now.

00:30:20.480 Keep fighting for the next, keep, keep fighting to get the next bill out there.

00:30:24.480 As long as you're not satisfied.

00:30:27.660 Now, where I would oppose bills like this, that, you know, if, if they improve the situation,

00:30:32.000 they only approve it in a very minor way.

00:30:33.460 I'd only oppose it if it means that this is all you're going to do.

00:30:36.060 And now you're going to rest on your laurels and say that, well, we did it.

00:30:39.000 We did all we could do as long as the fight keeps going, but whatever you can pass, pass

00:30:43.080 it, whatever you could do right now, whatever you, whatever can happen right now to protect

00:30:47.540 as many kids as possible, do it.

00:30:49.780 And then tomorrow do something else.

00:30:53.380 And from a political, from a, from a political perspective, it also puts Democrats in the position

00:31:01.900 of are, you know, let's, let's, let's, let's actually put, let's, you're on the hook now.

00:31:08.400 Okay.

00:31:08.820 Ball's in your court.

00:31:10.520 Are you actually going to take the position that it should be explicitly legal to kill 0.99

00:31:15.960 Down syndrome babies because they have Down syndrome?

00:31:18.900 As we know, many Democrats have no problem saying, yeah, I should, I think that should

00:31:23.800 be legal, but a bill that forces them to come out and say it is good.

00:31:27.580 Also for that reason, force them to take the mask off.

00:31:33.060 That's another good thing about some of these abortion bills. 1.00

00:31:35.120 Even if some of these bills, you know, the number of abortions that they're actually going 0.92

00:31:40.500 to stop is somewhat minimal.

00:31:43.140 If they, if they force Democrats to take the mask off and show their monstrous face, then

00:31:49.060 that's another, that is also another benefit.

00:31:51.380 All right.

00:31:53.340 This is from Daily Wire.

00:31:54.680 Also, it says Turning Red is the newest movie from Disney Pixar that has some parents turning

00:31:59.220 red with anger.

00:32:00.720 They say the children in the movie are overtly disobedient and rude.

00:32:03.960 Plus, there are sexual themes, including the main character twerking as a panda in front

00:32:08.680 of her mother while taunting her.

00:32:10.220 Plus, multiple instances of the girl rebelling against her overbearing Chinese-Canadian mother

00:32:15.480 to the point of being disrespectful.

00:32:17.720 The film is touted as a coming-of-age sensation where the supernatural and the mundane happily

00:32:23.260 walk hand-in-hand.

00:32:26.080 The Rot-Tomato synopsis says, in Turning Red, May Lee is a confident, dorky, 0.92

00:32:33.800 13-year-old torn between staying her daughter's, her mother's dutiful daughter, and the chaos

00:32:39.060 of adolescence.

00:32:39.900 And as if changes to her interests, relationships, and body weren't enough, whenever she gets

00:32:44.720 too excited, she poofs into a giant red panda. 1.00

00:32:49.360 The movie's rated PG.

00:32:50.700 It's intended for slightly older audiences compared to other Pixar films, especially,

00:32:53.520 since it deals with subject matter of puberty specifically.

00:32:55.600 However, even considering the target demographic, some parents and reviewers are insisting the

00:32:59.520 project goes a few steps too far.

00:33:01.780 And what's worse, it lacks the charm inherent to so many other Disney-Pixar projects.

00:33:06.440 I've heard this criticism of this film, as basically summarizing what we just read there,

00:33:11.480 that it's just this obnoxious kid disobedient to her parents.

00:33:16.180 It doesn't actually have a message.

00:33:18.020 Of course, you can portray that kind of stuff in kids' movies.

00:33:20.960 It's been portrayed many times before.

00:33:23.440 But the question is, what's the message at the end of it?

00:33:27.860 And there is no, from what I've been told, there is no message at the end of this telling

00:33:32.880 kids, okay, well, actually, you should respect, your family is important, you should respect

00:33:36.680 your parents.

00:33:38.780 That's not the message at the end.

00:33:39.880 In fact, the message is quite the opposite of that.

00:33:42.200 And then also, apparently, so this is a movie about a girl going through puberty and turning

00:33:49.900 red, and the fact that she turns into a red panda is a not-so-subtle metaphor for that. 0.79

00:33:57.920 And so that's part of the theme of this movie.

00:34:00.500 And then you think, well, who is it actually?

00:34:02.780 Is this a Pixar movie about a panda?

00:34:06.160 Is this for 13-year-olds?

00:34:07.480 Is that who this is for?

00:34:10.580 Because when you think about Pixar movies, like every other one that's been made, you

00:34:14.280 immediately think, okay, well, this is for five- and six-year-olds.

00:34:17.320 Maybe other people can watch it, too, and enjoy it, but that's who it's for.

00:34:23.420 A movie that deals with, well, this is specifically about a girl going through puberty.

00:34:28.700 I don't know who is it.

00:34:29.940 So this is a Pixar movie specifically for 12- and 13-year-old girls.

00:34:34.120 That doesn't make a lot of sense to me.

00:34:35.360 But look, I haven't seen the movie.

00:34:37.680 I don't plan on seeing it.

00:34:39.700 I've heard enough just from this that my kids aren't going to watch it.

00:34:45.300 I do put a lot of stock in kind of parental reviews.

00:34:48.580 Those are the, I tell you what, those are the only reviews I actually care about, the

00:34:51.300 only ones that I trust and that I find to be relatively reliable.

00:34:55.820 Rotten Tomatoes aggregate scores don't really mean anything.

00:34:59.820 Even the aggregate audience score to me doesn't mean much.

00:35:02.700 The fact that a bunch of critics liked a certain movie, that doesn't mean anything, okay?

00:35:08.860 The fact that the audience broadly liked the movie also doesn't mean anything.

00:35:12.340 Because if you go to Rotten Tomatoes, look at the aggregate audience score for pretty 0.95

00:35:15.200 much any Marvel movie.

00:35:16.700 It's all going to be like 99% people raving about how wonderful it is.

00:35:20.040 And the movie is terrible.

00:35:21.760 What I do care about and what I do read, especially before I put anything on for my kids, if I'm

00:35:26.520 not familiar with the content myself, is you go to some of these sites and you look at what

00:35:31.380 are parents saying about it?

00:35:32.780 What are the parental reviews?

00:35:34.040 And I find those to be, most of the time, pretty reliable.

00:35:38.200 And this is all I need to hear.

00:35:39.480 If you've got a large number of parents saying, this is not good for kids, it's got the wrong 1.00

00:35:43.500 messages, on top of that, it's just kind of loud and obnoxious and stupid, that's enough 0.99

00:35:49.640 for me to not show it to my kids. 0.99

00:35:52.220 And I think we all need to be a lot more discerning as parents of what we let our kids watch.

00:35:56.840 Especially when there's no real sacrifice in being a little bit more discerning.

00:36:00.440 I think there are a lot of parents who will just basically put anything on for their kids

00:36:03.460 and they almost never tell their kids no when they want to watch something.

00:36:06.620 But it's, I mean, why?

00:36:08.280 What's the downside?

00:36:09.900 If you're more discerning and you tell your kid, okay, well, we're not going to watch this

00:36:14.220 movie, and it turns out that the movie was fine and they could have watched it, how

00:36:18.380 are they hurt by that?

00:36:19.840 They've still got a million of the things they can watch.

00:36:21.780 It's not going to hurt them.

00:36:23.220 Even if you stop them from watching something that would have been fine, it doesn't cause

00:36:26.560 any damage to them.

00:36:29.140 But you let them watch things that they shouldn't be watching and you make a habit of that,

00:36:33.200 then there is some real damage to that.

00:36:36.540 And as I said, it's not, I think it's an important detail here for me as a parent, when

00:36:42.600 I'm deciding what my kids can watch.

00:36:44.060 Yeah, I'm worried about what are the messages, what are the themes, what kind of things are

00:36:51.060 we dealing with in this movie?

00:36:52.080 I'm not going to put a movie about puberty on for my six-year-old, okay?

00:36:57.820 So I'm thinking about that, I'm worried about that.

00:37:00.300 But also, just, is this, taking all the messages aside, even if the messages are fine and relatively 1.00

00:37:07.980 innocuous, is it just a stupid, loud, obnoxious, dumb thing? 0.99

00:37:14.320 And it sounds like this movie is that, and there's a lot of kids' movies that are like 1.00

00:37:18.940 that, a lot of kids' shows that are just dumb, loud, bright noises, or bright colors, loud 1.00

00:37:26.640 noises, and that's all it is, and it's just obnoxious and stupid. 0.99

00:37:30.280 And it, yeah, there might not, the moral messaging might be fine, it might be, as I said, innocuous, 1.00

00:37:36.420 but it's making your kid dumber. 1.00

00:37:38.500 Your kid becomes stupider in ingesting all this stuff all the time, this constant media 1.00

00:37:44.080 diet of dumb, dumb content. 1.00

00:37:48.220 And it detracts from their attention spans, it makes them so they can't pay attention to 1.00

00:37:52.000 things, it makes them so they, you know, they constantly need stimulation coming from a million

00:37:57.080 different directions, and all of that.

00:37:59.840 That's enough of a reason for me.

00:38:02.020 All right, one other thing I wanted to mention, and I bring this up because there's a revealing

00:38:07.040 contrast here.

00:38:07.780 Yesterday we talked about the tennis player, Naomi Osaka, who started crying in the middle

00:38:12.000 of a match because one fan heckled her briefly, and then she got on the mic afterwards, stealing 1.00

00:38:18.160 the spotlight from the winner of the match, and she cried some more.

00:38:23.700 That's the other thing you see about these female athletes who, whether it's Simone Biles 1.00

00:38:27.620 or Osaka, are always crying all the time and complaining and everything.

00:38:30.320 They're also taking the attention away from the other players, and also taking the attention

00:38:38.280 away from the players who actually succeeded.

00:38:42.940 So she did that, she was crying about it, and everyone, especially in sports media, is

00:38:48.320 on Osaka's side, as usual, talking about her mental health and how people need to be nicer

00:38:53.320 to her and yada yada.

00:38:55.660 But consider this when contrasted against another professional athlete, NBA player Russell Westbrook.

00:39:01.620 Now, I don't follow basketball anymore, but I do know that Westbrook has been struggling

00:39:07.120 this year quite a bit on the Lakers, maybe before that, playing, you know, frankly, just

00:39:11.220 playing terribly.

00:39:12.140 He's just not, he's not playing well.

00:39:13.940 And the fans are ruthless to him.

00:39:17.200 The media is ruthless.

00:39:19.640 And they've come up with a name for him, too, which is actually kind of a funny name, and

00:39:23.120 it's unfortunate what his last name is, because it works perfectly.

00:39:25.780 So the name they use for him now, and the fans are chanting at him all the time, and

00:39:28.920 the media uses it, is Russell Westbrook.

00:39:32.320 So that's what they call him.

00:39:34.040 And a couple days ago, after another game where he didn't play very well, and people

00:39:37.800 were calling him Westbrook, he's doing his press conference.

00:39:41.720 And he's asked about this, and he talks, especially about the Westbrook nickname, and

00:39:46.260 talks about how hurtful it is to him and his family.

00:39:48.500 Let's listen to that.

00:39:49.600 My family has reached a point to where it's really weighing on them, and it's very unfortunate

00:39:54.540 just for me personally, because this is just a game.

00:39:59.860 This is just a game.

00:40:00.820 This is not end-all, be-all.

00:40:02.760 And when it comes to basketball, I don't mind the criticism of missing and making shots,

00:40:09.860 but the moment it becomes where my name is getting shamed, it becomes an issue.

00:40:18.760 I've kind of let it go in the past, you know, just because it never really bothered me, but

00:40:25.000 it really kind of hit me the other day.

00:40:27.460 Honestly, I was, I mean, my wife was at a teacher-parent conference for my son, and the

00:40:34.240 teacher told me, she's like, Noah, he's so proud of his last name, he writes it everywhere,

00:40:39.780 he writes it on everything, he tells everybody, walks around and says, I'm Westbrook, Westbrook,

00:40:46.140 that's his last name. 0.97

00:40:47.560 And it kind of, I kind of sat there in shock, and it hit me like, damn, like, I can no longer 0.97

00:40:53.160 allow people, you know, for example, Westbrook to me is now shaming, like it's shaming my 0.97

00:40:59.720 name, it's my legacy for my kids.

00:41:02.760 Yeah, so that's, he's upset about the nickname, and he talks about how it hurts his kids'

00:41:08.880 feelings, and he doesn't like it.

00:41:11.280 But you look at the reaction to this, from the sports media especially, and just the

00:41:16.020 public at large, and there's just no sympathy for this guy whatsoever.

00:41:21.080 Like, nobody cares.

00:41:22.520 No one is saying, in fact, I looked at some of the headlines after this.

00:41:25.240 One of the headlines yesterday, why has Russell Westbrook been such a disaster for the Lakers? 0.98

00:41:31.600 Russell Westbrook, a hypocrite for Westbrick complaint. 0.98

00:41:34.220 It's just that kind of thing, right? 1.00

00:41:36.280 Everyone kind of agreeing, well, suck it up, dude, you're playing terrible, this is what

00:41:40.280 happens, deal with it.

00:41:41.740 There's no sympathy.

00:41:42.820 No one is talking about his mental health.

00:41:44.860 No one cares.

00:41:45.480 No one's even talking about his kids' mental health.

00:41:48.620 And I tend to agree with them, right?

00:41:50.620 You're a professional athlete. 0.81

00:41:52.560 I'm sure you've talked a lot of trash in your day yourself.

00:41:55.620 In fact, I know specifically this guy has. 0.82

00:41:57.840 And this comes with the territory.

00:41:59.600 And if you really can't hack and you can't deal with it, then you can quit and go do something

00:42:05.300 else with your life.

00:42:05.780 You've got a lot of money, and you can go do anything else, and you'll be fine.

00:42:10.220 And your kids will be fine.

00:42:12.060 This comes with the territory.

00:42:13.100 When you decide you want to play basketball in front of tens of thousands of fans, if you

00:42:17.380 play poorly, they're going to boo you.

00:42:19.040 And you've got to deal with it.

00:42:20.760 Now, the detail about his kid and how this affects his kid, and he's not as proud of his

00:42:24.200 name anymore.

00:42:24.600 That actually, you know, that's sad to hear that.

00:42:26.540 That actually is sad.

00:42:27.820 And I can imagine from the kid's perspective, right, if now he's getting taunted because

00:42:33.840 of this.

00:42:35.120 But even so, you know, that's, and what else can be done about it?

00:42:40.400 This just, again, it comes with the territory.

00:42:42.560 So what are you going to do?

00:42:43.520 Start throwing people out of the stadium.

00:42:44.780 You have no choice as the adult, as the man, the grown man, to just deal with it.

00:42:51.260 Sticks and stones and all of that.

00:42:53.420 So that's fine.

00:42:55.080 That's how I see it.

00:42:56.580 And that's how everybody sees it.

00:42:59.180 It's just you see this contrast between that and any time it's a female athlete with the 1.00

00:43:04.760 same complaint.

00:43:05.340 Okay, if this was a female, if this is a WNBA player talking about the way that she's 1.00

00:43:11.440 taunted and how it affects her kids, everybody would be saying she's a victim. 0.72

00:43:16.520 This is terrible. 0.97

00:43:17.380 Her mental health is a serious issue.

00:43:19.240 They put her on the cover of magazines now.

00:43:21.280 She's actually, it doesn't matter if she's playing poorly.

00:43:23.300 They'd make her into the athlete of the year because of how she represents mental health. 0.98

00:43:27.960 The real contrast there, real double standard.

00:43:33.220 And you know what?

00:43:34.300 I would be fine with it, actually, if it was in the context of society admitting that men 0.97

00:43:41.800 and women are different. 1.00

00:43:44.120 I'd be fine with that.

00:43:44.980 I'm fine with saying to men, hey, get over it, okay?

00:43:49.380 Toughen up, buddy.

00:43:51.540 And then to women, it's, you know, women take this stuff a little bit more seriously and 0.97

00:43:55.220 they're more sensitive.

00:43:55.780 And so I, okay, I understand that.

00:43:59.700 I'm okay with that because men and women are different.

00:44:02.420 And so I'm okay with treating them differently.

00:44:05.580 But the problem is that we're very selective in our society about when we decide to treat

00:44:12.600 men and women differently.

00:44:14.420 And even when we decide to treat them differently, we never admit that that's what we're doing

00:44:18.620 and why we're doing it.

00:44:21.240 And that, to me, is the problem.

00:44:23.080 Let's get now to the comment section.

00:44:25.780 This is from Mike Dutton says,

00:44:34.000 If breaking down and crying over every little thing is courage, my three-year-old granddaughter

00:44:37.800 is the bravest person I know.

00:44:39.300 Well, yeah, if that's the case, then I've got four kids who are very, very courageous.

00:44:44.480 There should be statues built to them and their courage.

00:44:47.400 Keziah says, Matt's ruthlessness has a way of snapping people into reality.

00:44:53.340 Sometimes I'll find myself thinking, oh, that's harsh when it comes to these things.

00:44:56.580 And then I hear Matt explain it and I remember what it's like to have my head on straight.

00:45:01.560 You know, I don't consider myself ruthless.

00:45:03.920 It's not the word that I would use, but blunt.

00:45:06.920 I don't care.

00:45:07.680 You can use that word.

00:45:08.620 It doesn't offend me.

00:45:09.160 But I think of it more as just being blunt and directed to the point.

00:45:13.760 And, yeah, I think that that's what we need in our society.

00:45:16.340 Now, I also think that there's room.

00:45:18.320 We get into this debate, especially among Christians all the time.

00:45:21.480 And I get criticized, especially by Christians, because they say, well, my approach is not Christ-like and it's not the right way for Christians to approach things.

00:45:29.580 And I've talked about that and I've addressed that.

00:45:31.040 And they're just wrong in that claim.

00:45:33.780 But another thing that I say when that subject comes up is that people have different personalities and it takes all kinds.

00:45:41.140 And so there are different approaches to everything.

00:45:44.440 And so not everybody.

00:45:45.520 So I'm going to take the sledgehammer approach almost all the time.

00:45:52.780 That's how I'm going in like a sledgehammer.

00:45:54.800 That's what I'm going to do.

00:45:56.280 I don't think that everybody all the time can be a sledgehammer.

00:46:00.640 People have different approaches to things.

00:46:02.660 But I do think, and there might be situations where the sledgehammer is not the best tool.

00:46:11.240 I'll admit.

00:46:11.800 There might be situations where the sledgehammer is not the best tool.

00:46:14.020 And yet I'm going to run in with a sledgehammer anyway and start smashing things.

00:46:16.960 So I get it.

00:46:19.960 But it has to be a tool in the arsenal.

00:46:23.300 You can't throw it out completely, especially in our society today.

00:46:27.540 As we talked about at the top, people are stupefied, in a haze, hypnotized.

00:46:32.980 And sometimes to get somebody awake, you've got to slap them around a little bit, metaphorically, if not literally, on occasion.

00:46:39.880 Let's see.

00:46:45.820 Earth Child Productions says, Matt, you should definitely add a section to the show for great historical figures or facts that were not taught in school.

00:46:52.740 I really enjoyed that section.

00:46:53.960 I'm glad you enjoyed it.

00:46:54.640 I wasn't sure if I was boring people while I was talking about it.

00:46:56.740 But I don't know how it could be boring, considering it's what we talked about yesterday with the story of Ernest Shackleton and the endurance is one of the most fascinating stories in history.

00:47:07.280 But there's just so many that the it's almost cliche to complain about these days.

00:47:14.660 But the history education that kids get in school is is woefully lacking.

00:47:19.340 And of course, the education they receive on every topic is woefully lacking.

00:47:24.960 But in history, especially, it's been that way that this is not a new thing.

00:47:29.060 It was that way when I went to public school.

00:47:31.080 It's been that way for decades.

00:47:34.060 Entire sections of history are completely ignored.

00:47:37.680 Many of the greatest heroes of history are ignored.

00:47:42.660 And that that trend is only getting worse.

00:47:47.800 And it's and it's only going to continue getting worse.

00:47:51.000 Especially as CRT.

00:47:54.960 And kind of left wing racialism infects the school system more and more.

00:47:59.840 Now it's well, we can't talk about Ernest Shackleton because he was a white guy.

00:48:03.560 You know, he's he was a white British guy in the early 20th century, and he almost certainly had views on things that we would not find acceptable today.

00:48:12.020 And even if he didn't, we have to find more diverse heroes.

00:48:15.300 Because if we talk about Ernest Shackleton, that's going to make all of the all the kids who are not white males feel left out.

00:48:21.240 So we can't talk about it.

00:48:22.020 We've got to find somebody else.

00:48:27.020 Chris says, Matt, I know you're fully on board with DeSantis in 2024.

00:48:30.740 How would you feel about Tulsi Gabbard as his VP?

00:48:33.020 I know she has or still is technically a Democrat, but I think it's safe to say she's not on that team anymore.

00:48:39.520 Look, Tulsi Gabbard is great, a really great leftist.

00:48:48.440 I mean, she's really great for a leftist.

00:48:51.020 As far as leftists go, she's about as good as you're going to get.

00:48:55.980 But she's still a leftist. 0.95

00:48:58.980 That's what she is.

00:49:00.360 And she's still beholden to that ideology on when it comes to most things.

00:49:05.300 I mean, that could change, I suppose.

00:49:11.460 But as of now, she's still a leftist.

00:49:13.320 And no, I would not want a leftist on the ticket, personally.

00:49:18.860 Let's see.

00:49:22.240 Honest 12 says, the microwave is literally the most futuristic invention in my lifetime.

00:49:27.780 I'm 51 years old.

00:49:28.760 We were promised much more when I was a lad.

00:49:30.720 Jetpacks, space trips, unlimited food, human-like robots to clean, cook, perform sex.

00:49:39.140 Nothing more amazing than the microwave has materialized, though.

00:49:42.120 Name something more amazing than cooking food instantly. 0.88

00:49:45.840 Sorry, I'm just stuck on you using the phrase perform sex. 0.99

00:49:49.740 Are you a robot also? 0.99

00:49:51.680 Is this how you talk to your wife? 0.99

00:49:53.000 Honey, yes. 1.00

00:49:53.660 Might we perform sex this evening? 0.99

00:49:56.500 I can't get past that. 0.98

00:49:57.580 But anyway, look, you don't need, there's nothing.

00:50:01.740 How about I'll flip this around on you?

00:50:04.360 What is it that a microwave does that all the other tools and appliances in your kitchen can't do?

00:50:12.160 Okay, that's, you don't need the microwave.

00:50:13.960 Ditch the microwave.

00:50:15.380 Also, microwaves cause cancer.

00:50:16.760 I don't know if that's true at all.

00:50:17.920 It just seems like it probably is.

00:50:20.480 Don't put the misinformation label on me.

00:50:22.400 I'm just, I'm saying.

00:50:23.680 It seems to me.

00:50:24.400 I feel as though they probably cause cancer.

00:50:27.180 The Daily Wire is constantly working to bring you the truth.

00:50:29.980 That's why we've launched our own publishing wing, DW Books, and we're proud to be publishing books that are actively fighting the left's monopoly on storytelling.

00:50:36.380 The first is 12 Seconds in the Dark by Sergeant Mattingly, and it's available right now.

00:50:40.180 The book is the true story of what really happened the night of the Breonna Taylor shooting.

00:50:44.740 A lot of lies are told about this, but this has the truth, and you can check out for yourself the trailer right now.

00:50:50.560 Here it is.

00:50:50.860 It was very chaotic.

00:50:52.400 It was very quick.

00:50:54.060 Instantly, I knew I was shot.

00:50:55.440 Breonna Taylor, she was caught in the crossfire of those bullets.

00:50:58.400 As soon as your brain's registering, it's already over.

00:51:01.820 The media got so many things wrong in this case, saying we had the wrong apartment.

00:51:06.000 Her name wasn't on the warrant.

00:51:07.440 She was shot and killed in her sleep, in her bed.

00:51:10.000 These are lies.

00:51:10.980 This is not true.

00:51:11.920 And all the while, you're hearing all these outside influences from athletes, and Oprah, and Ellen DeGeneres, and Kamala Harris, and Joe Biden.

00:51:20.640 All those people coming and attacking you, putting your name on their account, saying he should be in prison.

00:51:25.960 All these things that they have no idea what they're talking about.

00:51:28.600 But they have such influence.

00:51:30.500 The more we attack police for doing their job, the less good qualified police you're going to have.

00:51:35.660 When you read 12 Seconds in the Dark, you will find out the truth of what really happened the night of the Breonna Taylor raid.

00:51:50.980 In a world where voices like this are censored, the story is incredibly important.

00:51:54.680 That's why the book is available now on Amazon or anywhere you buy books online.

00:51:58.020 So go order your copy today.

00:52:00.740 Again, at Amazon, you're not going to want to miss this.

00:52:03.040 Order it now.

00:52:03.420 Also, another thing you don't want to miss, the premiere of our latest film.

00:52:06.600 Well, if you did miss it, it already happened.

00:52:08.540 But you can still watch the movie, The Hyperions.

00:52:10.920 It's a dysfunctional family film with an 80s aesthetic, and it's definitely worth the watch.

00:52:15.200 Here's the trailer, if somehow you have not seen it by now.

00:52:19.340 Calling all Hyperions.

00:52:22.480 My name is Vista Mandelbaum.

00:52:25.640 I was just a little boy on a Sunday day.

00:52:33.420 My brother and I have taken four hostages.

00:52:36.600 Everybody against the wall.

00:52:37.940 We've come for one thing.

00:52:40.160 Our Titan badges.

00:52:42.420 Is this real?

00:52:43.880 Yes, ma'am.

00:52:44.340 This is real.

00:52:44.940 It's my side in this.

00:52:46.140 Well, I want that too.

00:52:47.740 It's the police.

00:52:48.820 They want to talk to whoever's in charge.

00:52:50.260 This Titan badge can grant an individual superhuman power.

00:52:56.980 Perhaps it's time for someone else to take on the responsibility.

00:53:01.640 Meet Apollo.

00:53:07.720 I'd recommend next time using your power.

00:53:10.040 Yeah, if you think so.

00:53:12.480 Calling all Hyperions.

00:53:13.260 Hyperions.

00:53:15.280 On my way.

00:53:17.120 You're making such a mess in here.

00:53:19.660 We've got a Hyperion en route. 1.00

00:53:21.660 Not a good time to look stupid. 1.00

00:53:25.700 Shots fired! 1.00

00:53:27.100 God, come on, give me my gun!

00:53:29.940 Suit up for adventure.

00:53:38.060 She's trying to destroy me. 0.99

00:53:43.260 Next question.

00:53:44.800 How's the family?

00:53:45.900 The family is, um...

00:53:48.100 Gosh, what is it?

00:53:51.240 Marvelous.

00:53:52.120 I'm going to fight for the rights to do what I want!

00:54:32.620 Anyway, now let's get to our daily cancellation.

00:54:34.520 So one of the latest innovations of the leftist bureaucratic class is the concept of public health equity.

00:54:46.060 Now, it's a sort of monstrous amalgamation of the concepts of public health on one hand

00:54:51.180 and equity on the other, concepts which existed apart from each other

00:54:54.560 for only a brief period of time before they were combined.

00:54:57.060 Of course, as soon as health equity was invented,

00:54:59.900 related government agencies and departments started springing up like weeds all over the place.

00:55:03.960 And we now have health equity departments at every level of government

00:55:07.860 with towns and counties across the country racing to add their own.

00:55:11.620 As one example, Erie County in New York recently set up its own health equity office

00:55:15.880 and they just hired a woman to run it. 1.00

00:55:18.120 Here she is introducing herself to the public.

00:55:20.460 Listen.

00:55:21.440 Developing the Office of Health Equity and building a team dedicated to improving the health

00:55:27.360 and quality of life of our most marginalized residents is an opportunity of great magnitude.

00:55:33.960 The most vulnerable people of our county face systemic challenges, often called social determinants

00:55:40.760 of health, that can be addressed through policy, programs, and people with the will to face

00:55:46.940 those challenges directly.

00:55:49.240 Meeting and overcoming those challenges will define the work of our office as we develop pilot programs,

00:55:55.620 partnerships, and services with our allies across nonprofit organizations, health agencies, and more.

00:56:02.920 Now, if all that sounded like a bunch of nonsense, it was.

00:56:07.680 I mean, what you have to understand is that primarily concepts like health equity exist to

00:56:11.640 provide jobs to useless bureaucrats who have no skills and can't contribute meaningfully to society.

00:56:16.840 Again, you know, staying on Erie County as announced, you'll see how this works because

00:56:24.700 we can go back just a few months to when this office was first announced just to see how it works.

00:56:30.080 Reading from buffalonews.com, it says,

00:56:32.620 The issue of health disparities in Buffalo and Erie County is an old one, but the question of what

00:56:37.560 to do about it keeps getting new answers. The latest answer is the creation of a new Erie County

00:56:42.020 Office of Health Equity, which will expand the county health department with an additional

00:56:45.540 nine full-time jobs. Those salaries will initially be covered by federal American

00:56:49.800 rescue plan dollars, but will result in future recurring costs. County Executive Mark

00:56:55.520 Poloncarz called the new offices of health equity a necessary expansion of the area's African-American

00:57:02.520 health equity task force. He pointed to that group's role along with community partners in

00:57:06.840 successfully shrinking the racial disparity in COVID-19 deaths. Continuing a little bit later,

00:57:11.400 it says,

00:57:11.780 When the American Rescue Plan money became available, Poloncarz agreed to devote a chunk of it to

00:57:15.260 personnel devoted to addressing the health gap. The office also will have a separate advisory

00:57:19.300 board comprising experts on minority health who can provide insight and recommendations to the

00:57:24.460 members of the new health equity director. While the county allocated three million dollars to the

00:57:29.800 African-American health equity task force last year, Baskin said outsourcing the action plan to

00:57:34.500 address health disparities isn't a permanent solution. The new office's payroll will exceed

00:57:38.760 $300,000 in new salaries that will eventually be a part of the county's recurring costs. Okay, so you see

00:57:43.800 how this works. Government bureaucrats had some money to throw around, so they decided to, and this is

00:57:50.360 what the, you know, American Rescue Plan accomplished, just gave a bunch of money to a bunch of

00:57:54.920 bureaucrats, and they said, well, I guess we got to use this for something, and so we'll just use it

00:58:00.440 to create jobs for ourselves. So they decided to create jobs for themselves and also for their

00:58:04.800 friends. And now, even though there was already an African-American health equity task force, there will

00:58:10.980 also be an office of health equity. And these will be in addition to all of the other local groups

00:58:17.020 focused on health equity, like the University at Buffalo Community Health Equity Research Institute

00:58:22.200 and others like it. Now, so you have a bunch of agencies and bureaucracies and everything focusing

00:58:28.820 on racial health equity and all kind of doing the same thing, which is nothing, and none of this will

00:58:37.060 achieve anything. None of these people will actually do anything. But that's the great thing about

00:58:42.460 something like health equity. It's such a broad and ambiguous concept that there's no way to prove

00:58:48.060 whether the people tasked with enforcing health equity are actually doing their jobs or not. And

00:58:52.720 this is the case really with any bureaucrat. It's set up this way, that it's almost impossible to know

00:58:58.700 whether they're doing anything. From the public's perspective, it is impossible. We certainly can't

00:59:03.420 know. But even if you're in the bureaucracy, you're kind of looking around like, is anyone doing

00:59:07.720 anything? What's anyone doing here? Now, you take that problem and apply it to something like health

00:59:13.800 equity, and the problem's even more pronounced. Now, meanwhile, we should note, Erie County is one of

00:59:19.960 the unhealthiest places in the country. I mean, actually unhealthy, physically unhealthy. And this applies

00:59:25.640 to everybody, not just marginalized groups, so-called. It has an obesity rate of 65% as just one marker.

00:59:32.940 However, now, you would think that the attention would be focused on an actual, tangible, universal

00:59:38.800 problem like that. And we don't need to make more agencies for this. But we've got a real health

00:59:46.020 problem, and so let's address that. That's not what health equity is all about. What health equity is

00:59:51.180 all about, besides creating jobs for useless, tax-funded bureaucratic parasites, I mean, it's hard to move past 0.53

00:59:56.940 that because that truly is almost the entire reason why a concept like this even exists. But to get

01:00:02.880 to the whole picture, I think we have to break this down a little bit. So first of all, you have

01:00:07.120 equity. I mean, what is that? To get a sense of what equity is supposed to mean anyway, we can check

01:00:13.640 with Kamala Harris, who offered, I think, a pretty succinct explanation. She doesn't do a lot of succinct 1.00

01:00:19.520 explanations, but a pretty succinct explanation of what equity is supposed to be back during the 2020

01:00:25.020 campaign. Let's listen to that. So there's a big difference between equality and equity.

01:00:31.020 Equality suggests, oh, everyone should get the same amount. The problem with that, not everybody's

01:00:37.200 starting out from the same place. So if we're all getting the same amount, but you started out back

01:00:41.820 there and I started out over here, we could get the same amount, but you're still going to be that far

01:00:45.840 behind me. It's about giving people the resources and the support they need so that everyone can be

01:00:55.680 on equal footing and then compete on equal footing. Equitable treatment means we all end up at the same

01:01:02.800 place. So equity is not not giving people equal opportunity. It's making sure we all end up at

01:01:25.360 the same place, as she said. Equality of outcome, ensuring that nobody is ahead of anybody else.

01:01:31.240 Equity is, in fact, the exact opposite of the traditional American notion of equality.

01:01:35.380 You know, the idea behind that sort of equality was traditionally giving everyone the freedom to

01:01:40.520 live, make choices, struggle and strive ultimately, you know, and sort of establish whatever sort of

01:01:45.400 existence they can build for themselves. And there are some nuances there. Obviously,

01:01:50.160 people can't be free to make literally any choice they want, but that's the basic generalized idea of

01:01:55.680 equality. Equity is totally different. It's the exact opposite. Equity militates against

01:02:01.180 equality. Equity ruthlessly suppresses, if need be, equality to make sure that the outcomes are the

01:02:10.480 same for everybody. And notice something about equity, and this is really important. It only cares

01:02:16.320 about disparity, okay? That's the only thing it's worried about. Equity doesn't care if people are

01:02:22.400 miserable, suffering, whatever. It only cares that everyone is miserable and suffering the same.

01:02:28.600 I mean, she doesn't even say, well, we all want to make sure we end up in a good place. No,

01:02:34.540 we all have to just end up in the same place. It doesn't matter where it is.

01:02:38.740 We could all end up in hell, but as long as we're there together, hand in hand, then we're good.

01:02:44.440 Now, introduce public health into this, and you've got a real problem. It's clear enough that public

01:02:49.620 health already has nothing to do with actual physical health. That's why these public health

01:02:53.660 ministers tend to be themselves, personally, pictures of unhealthiness. They're so often obese,

01:03:01.340 apparently deficient in various vitamins, generally not healthy at all as people. That's because public

01:03:09.120 health is not related to physical health. In fact, public health very specifically ignores many of our

01:03:14.320 greatest actual health crises, like obesity, because trying to fix obesity means telling people that you

01:03:20.280 shouldn't be obese, and that's body shaming and fat shaming, and you can't do that. That's why public

01:03:26.120 health is now sort of an umbrella term. And I think now, simply, things that are in keeping with public

01:03:31.900 health are those behaviors and ideas and opinions and statements which our ruling leftist class condones.

01:03:40.900 That's what public health is. Those things that are not in keeping with public health are things which are,

01:03:46.820 you know, the things which are injurious to public health are behaviors, ideas, opinions, statements,

01:03:52.740 which the ruling class condemns. And it really is as simple as that. So you take this concept,

01:03:59.780 and you merge it with the Marxist idea of equity, and you have just the perfect Frankenstein monster.

01:04:06.540 Because remember, again, public health, it's everything. It encompasses everything. Anything

01:04:13.540 that you're doing that the left doesn't like is a problem for public health. To include any statements

01:04:20.480 that you make, any opinions that you have. And now you put equity into it. Again, it's a perfect

01:04:29.080 Frankenstein. A monster which will be somewhat limited in the damage that it can cause only because of the

01:04:35.240 incompetence and laziness of the bureaucrats who take on these jobs. But there's little solace to

01:04:41.060 be taken in that. And I suppose little solace in saying, though we will say it anyway, that health

01:04:47.360 equity is today canceled. And we'll leave it there for today. Thanks for watching. Thanks for listening.
