The Matt Walsh Show - Ep. 953 - School District Threatens To Expel Students For ‘Malicious Misgendering’

00:00:00.000 Today on the Matt Wall Show, schools in Virginia will soon be expelling students as young as

00:00:04.000 kindergarten for the crime of, quote, malicious misgendering. Also, the new White House press

00:00:08.600 secretary is black and gay and expects to be applauded for it. She also happens to be terrible 1.00

00:00:12.420 at her job. Democrats say it's a racist conspiracy theory that they hate so-called whiteness, but 0.99

00:00:18.080 we'll listen to their actual words on the subject today. Plus, Eric Swalwell brags about being a

00:00:22.380 terrible parent. A TikToker attempts to answer the what is a woman question, but she does it in the 1.00

00:00:26.420 form of a poem. And in our daily cancellation, we deal with the new phenomenon known as

00:00:30.520 land acknowledgements. We'll talk about all of that and more today on the Matt Wall Show.

00:00:43.020 You know, to avoid public criticism and peer pressure, would you compromise your principles

00:00:47.200 to blend in with the crowd or would you stand for what you believe? In 2020, NBA rising star Jonathan

00:00:51.600 Isaac faced that very question amid pro basketball's league-wide protest against racial injustice.

00:00:56.420 Jonathan became one of the only players not to kneel for the national anthem. In his new book,

00:01:00.920 Why I Stand, published with the Daily Wire's DW books, Jonathan shares how his experiences and faith

00:01:05.960 shaped who he is and his perspective on the world. So if you want to hear the story behind the stand

00:01:10.380 and gain inspiration and strength to uphold your own convictions, pick up a copy of Why I Stand

00:01:15.160 by Jonathan Isaac out now wherever you buy books. So I want to begin by reflecting again on one moment

00:01:22.220 in the What is a Woman trailer that we played yesterday on the show. One of the people we

00:01:25.880 interviewed Scott Nugent is a female who, as she says, medically transitioned to appear like a male,

00:01:32.500 but will never actually be a man. Now she speaks out now quite bravely about her own horrific

00:01:37.860 experiences with medical transition and warns against most especially the drugging and mutilation

00:01:43.500 of children. In the trailer, which you can watch at whatisawoman.com, Nugent says,

00:01:48.160 it got me at 42. Your child doesn't stand a chance. And as I said yesterday, you know,

00:01:52.980 we should understand that your child doesn't understand a chance, and it referring to,

00:01:57.300 you know, gender ideology, but your child doesn't stand a chance is not meant to be 0.96

00:02:01.600 a literal guarantee that all of our children are going to be indoctrinated into the trans cult 1.00

00:02:06.640 against our will. We can protect our kids against that, and we must. The point is to emphasize just

00:02:12.160 how powerful the forces aligned against the youngest generations actually are. We often lament

00:02:18.900 that kids in school, for example, are exposed to things that only adults should be exposed to.

00:02:24.880 But it's actually worse than that. They are, in fact, subjected to things that even adults

00:02:28.860 are not subjected to. Actually, the adults who choose to subject our kids to these things

00:02:35.100 don't want to be subjected themselves to the very same thing. So case in point, a mom this week

00:02:40.280 confronted the Clark County School Board in Las Vegas about pornographic material that her daughter

00:02:44.780 was forced to, wasn't just assigned to her, she was forced to memorize this and present it to her

00:02:50.100 class. And listen to how the school board responds, though. Listen to this.

00:02:55.000 I'm going to read you an assignment given to my

00:02:57.440 15-year-old daughter at a local high school.

00:03:02.780 This will be horrifying for me to read to you, but that will give you perspective on how she

00:03:11.400 must have felt when her teacher required her to memorize this and to act it out in front of her

00:03:16.980 entire class. I don't love you. It's not you. It's just I don't like your dick or any dick in

00:03:25.300 that case. I cheated, Joe. 1.00

00:03:27.080 I'm sorry.

00:03:31.360 This is propaganda that they're going to put back.

00:03:33.920 Excuse me. I don't, thank you so much for your, thank you for your comment. Forgive me.

00:03:39.400 We're not using profanity. Are you, what?

00:03:43.080 We have the time back. That's relevant.

00:03:44.920 I should be talking.

00:03:46.300 Okay.

00:03:47.300 The teacher required my daughter to read, memorize this and read this pornographic material. 1.00

00:03:52.660 Excuse me. Please don't engage with the audience.

00:03:56.440 Okay.

00:03:57.440 So please continue your public comment. Your time is, you've got one minute and 19 seconds.

00:04:04.000 I ask you simply, this is a public meeting. I asked for decorum and I'm asking Dr. Jara.

00:04:11.080 Thank you so much. Dr. Jara.

00:04:16.080 If you don't want me to read it to you, what was that like for my 15-year-old daughter to

00:04:20.040 have to memorize pornographic material?

00:04:23.820 So you hear someone in the audience first cuts her off and says, this is propaganda.

00:04:28.900 It's probably, I mean, it is propaganda, but it's the propaganda being given to kids in school.

00:04:34.140 And immediately after the mother there at the microphone said what you heard her say at the

00:04:39.500 end, which is, if you don't want to hear it, then why are we giving it to kids? They cut her

00:04:43.400 microphone.

00:04:43.720 They, the adults on the school board, did not want to have to hear profanity and sexual vulgarities,

00:04:50.700 but they don't mind if 15-year-old kids are exposed to it. So just think about that for a moment.

00:04:54.780 There are things that kids are subjected to in schools, which would be considered not only

00:04:59.080 inappropriate, but potentially sometimes illegal anywhere else in society. Adults are able to say

00:05:04.940 things to kids in school, make them do things that in any other context would lead to that adult

00:05:09.400 being arrested. If you walked up to a child that was walking down the sidewalk and you handed her

00:05:14.520 the material that the mother in that video was reading, you'd go to jail. But a teacher can assign 1.00

00:05:19.960 it as a mandatory classroom activity and the school board will take a don't ask, don't tell approach

00:05:25.900 to it. I don't care if the kids have to hear that, but don't make me listen to it, they say.

00:05:31.940 No, kids in school aren't being treated like adults. That would be bad enough. The actual

00:05:36.660 situation is worse. Here's another example from today. Fox News reports,

00:05:41.020 the school board of Fairfax County Public Schools in Fairfax, Virginia, is reviewing updated rules

00:05:45.180 that could potentially expose students to suspension or expulsion for, quote,

00:05:49.420 maliciously misgendering their peers based on, quote, frequency and intensity.

00:05:55.360 Now you don't worry about the intensity of the misgendering. The Fairfax County Public Schools

00:05:59.660 Students Rights and Responsibilities Handbook, which will be voted on May 26th,

00:06:03.700 includes in its updated version rules that make malicious deadnaming and malicious misgendering

00:06:09.120 of classmates a level four offense, which allows for a suspension of up to five days if frequency

00:06:14.580 and intensity are present, according to page 19 of the document. Using slurs based upon the actual

00:06:20.060 or perceived gender identity is forbidden under the rules of the document, quote, which includes,

00:06:24.700 but is not limited to, malicious deadnaming or malicious misgendering.

00:06:28.720 Now, malicious misgendering may sound like the name of an indie band,

00:06:32.340 but actually it refers to the crime of using a grammatically correct pronoun to refer to a

00:06:38.000 gender confused person. And deadnaming, of course, means using the name their parents gave them rather

00:06:42.940 than whatever name they made up for their new alter ego. This is a level four offense. The good news is

00:06:48.860 that it's not a level five offense, which means that it's not quite placed on the same level as

00:06:53.140 homicide and sexual assault. So Fairfax in this way is slightly less insane than the school district

00:06:58.940 in Wisconsin that we talked about yesterday that's charging three boys with sexual harassment for

00:07:04.220 failing to refer to a quote unquote non-binary student with they them pronouns. So what's

00:07:10.140 happening at Fairfax is actually not as bad as what's happening in other schools. But the bad news is that

00:07:16.520 level four puts misgendering on the same tier as assault, theft, and arson.

00:07:21.160 So you could like set the school on fire and or you could refer to a boy as a he. And it's, you know, 0.99

00:07:30.660 tomato, tomato, it's the same thing. And the even worse news is that students all the way down to

00:07:36.780 kindergarten will be subjected and subject to these rules and then the prescribed penalties, which include

00:07:43.980 lengthy suspensions or even expulsion. This puts a moral burden on little kids in elementary school

00:07:53.360 that the vast majority of adults have never had to endure. I've never had to endure because they're

00:08:00.400 being compelled to lie under threat of immediate and severe punishment. I've never quite been in a

00:08:08.280 situation like that. Have you? They must choose between the truth or their academic futures.

00:08:16.940 It's like a seven-year-old kid is faced with that. Very few adults have shown the resolve, fortitude,

00:08:24.600 courage to stand by the truth on this issue or any other issue, even when the consequence is merely an

00:08:30.640 unpleasant look or an uncomfortable interaction. Most adults have shown that they will respect the

00:08:36.820 pronoun, even if they'd prefer not to, simply because they're afraid of confrontation. They're

00:08:41.840 afraid of awkwardness. There could be nothing else. There could be no other potential consequence other

00:08:49.020 than that. And most adults will just go along with it. How many children will have the strength to speak

00:08:56.100 the truth, retain their sanity, when the consequence will be not only social alienation, but also severe

00:09:03.020 administrative punishments. Now, the rule does stipulate that only malicious misgendering incidents

00:09:10.380 will be punished. And this gives the kids a little leeway in case they make the mistake of accidentally

00:09:16.400 using proper grammar. It might also give them a little bit of grace if they have trouble keeping

00:09:22.300 up with their classmates who have a gender identity that changes five times a day. But if it's decided that

00:09:28.400 proper grammar was used intentionally, God forbid, then the consequences will be swift and dire.

00:09:36.280 Now, when I was a kid, students with a demonstrable grasp on the rules of grammar

00:09:40.460 were awarded with like high grades and little encouraging stickers on their assignments.

00:09:47.000 Now those students are expelled. And how will the administration even know if the misgendering

00:09:53.580 was intentional or not? Well, that'll be up to their kangaroo courts to determine. Of course,

00:09:59.320 malicious and intentional are seen as one in the same here. It's been decided that the only reason

00:10:06.180 why anybody would ever intentionally use male pronouns when referring to a male who wants to be a female

00:10:12.260 is that they're trying to hurt the person. The possibility that somebody would misgender, i.e. 0.66

00:10:18.520 correctly gender, not because they want to hurt anybody, but because they value the truth and because

00:10:23.140 they realize that cooperating with and affirming confusion only causes more harm to the confused

00:10:27.880 individual, that possibility is discounted. It doesn't exist as far as the Fairfax schools are

00:10:34.380 concerned. Now the effect here is first and foremost, of course, that kids are mentally beaten into

00:10:40.640 submission until they finally accept the tenets of gender ideology, not because they understand the

00:10:45.500 tenets or believe them, but because they're afraid, understandably afraid, and they lack the energy or the

00:10:50.780 will to deal with the consequences of not accepting what they're being told to accept.

00:10:56.180 But another effect, just as intentional but less often discussed, is that kids are being turned

00:11:03.900 against each other. Terry Schilling of the Claremont Institute made this point on Twitter about this

00:11:09.260 story. I thought it was a good point. That these kinds of policies are, on top of everything else,

00:11:13.680 yet another way to sow division and suspicion and resentment within the student population among the

00:11:21.220 kids themselves. It's announced from on high that any student who intentionally fails to use preferred

00:11:28.300 pronouns is malicious and deserving of the harshest possible penalties. This is a message and word of

00:11:36.340 warning, not just to those heretical students, but to all the other kids as well. It's a big red arrow

00:11:42.540 pointed at the heretic saying, these people are bad. They hate you. You should hate them too. 0.99

00:11:49.700 That's the announcement. Don't try to see the best in people. Don't give any grace. 0.96

00:11:56.640 Don't try to understand things from their perspective. Oh no, not that. No, if they don't

00:12:02.340 do what you want them to do, report them to the authorities and destroy their lives. That's the message.

00:12:08.280 The environment that's fostered. So your kids don't stand a chance. Well, if they're abandoned

00:12:14.920 to a system like this, left to their own devices to navigate it, their chances of surviving with

00:12:22.000 their souls and minds intact may not be zero, but the chances aren't great. That's for certain.

00:12:28.280 Now let's get to our five headlines. Cryptocurrency may represent the future of money. It's one of the

00:12:39.800 most exciting investments, opportunities to come around for some time. But what about taxes? With

00:12:43.820 an Alto Crypto IRA, you can trade crypto like Bitcoin and avoid or defer the taxes. Get into

00:12:49.320 investing in crypto and do it in a tax advantage retirement account. Alto's Crypto IRA is the easy

00:12:54.580 way to get crypto into an IRA. Trade all you want without the tax headache. Create an account in just

00:12:59.040 a few minutes and invest with as little as $10. No setup charges needed. There are multiple ways to

00:13:04.100 fund your account. You can make a cash contribution. You could transfer cash from an existing IRA or you

00:13:08.880 can roll over an old 401k. So it's very easy to do. You also have secure trading 24-7 through Alto's

00:13:14.180 integration with Coinbase. There are 80 plus coins available, including Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Cardano.

00:13:19.360 So all you got to do is open an Alto Crypto IRA account with as little as $10. And that means just

00:13:25.660 go to altoira.com slash Matt. That's A-L-T-O-I-R-A dot com slash Matt. Go again to altoira.com slash Matt.

00:13:36.320 So the new White House spokeswoman took over for Jen Psaki yesterday, had her very first 0.99

00:13:42.140 White House press conference. And her name is Karen Jean-Pair. That's how I'm going to pronounce it

00:13:48.200 anyway. And this is how Karen Jean-Pair introduced herself. Let's listen.

00:13:55.720 I am obviously acutely aware that my presence at this podium represents a few firsts. I am a black,

00:14:04.500 gay, immigrant woman, the first of all three of those to hold this position. I would not be here 1.00

00:14:10.880 today if it were not for generations of barriers, barrier-breaking people before me. I stand on their

00:14:19.100 shoulders. If it were not for generations of barrier-breaking people before me, I would not be

00:14:25.900 here. But I benefit from their sacrifices. I have learned from their excellence, and I am forever

00:14:33.620 grateful to them. Representation does matter. You hear us, you hear us say this often in this

00:14:39.420 administration, and no one understands this better than President Biden. Well, that's a totally normal

00:14:45.920 thing, right? It's just, you know, you're getting up there. It's a, it's the White House. It's a press

00:14:49.620 conference. And the first thing you do is announce your sexual orientation. Hey, just so you all know,

00:14:56.240 I have sex with women, just in case I just wanted to, we're sitting here at the White House. I thought 0.99

00:15:00.900 everyone should know that. So here you go. I like how she's thanking her forebears. You know, I want

00:15:08.440 to thank all the lesbian press secretaries that came before me. I stand on the shoulders of lesbian 1.00

00:15:14.720 secretaries. It's just an entire mountain of them that I stand atop. She's truly the Jackie 0.89

00:15:20.600 Robinson of gay press secretaries. Well, nevermind, actually, because Jackie Robinson was great at his 0.97

00:15:27.760 job. And that's the thing we often forget is that Jackie Robinson was great. And that's why he's

00:15:35.020 remembered. That's why he achieved everything that he did. He broke the color barrier and was great.

00:15:42.140 So he earned his way in and then he dominated. And that's the thing that's always missing.

00:15:47.780 You know, from, from these kinds of conversations, we would talk about the first person, the first person

00:15:52.720 to do this or that. Well, it used to be you were celebrated if you were the first and also great.

00:16:02.400 If you were the first and you sucked at it, then like nobody cares. No one's going to remember it.

00:16:06.900 That's not an accomplishment. That's actually worse. So if you're going to be the first to do

00:16:13.260 something and then be bad at it, it'd be better off if you didn't do it at all. What if Jackie

00:16:18.840 Robinson had gotten in there and just, and, and he was awful and it flunked out, you know, couldn't,

00:16:24.460 couldn't hack it in the league. So if I was even tempted to possibly celebrate you for being the

00:16:31.700 first of any kind of person to do something, you need to actually be good at it. Now, in this case,

00:16:38.900 the fact that you're the first gay black female press secretary is irrelevant. I mean, it's neither 0.91

00:16:44.300 interesting nor important, um, even if you're good at your job, but I just, I hate how this

00:16:49.980 question of skill has been completely ignored. It's just been ruled out. We're supposed to

00:16:55.920 celebrate people ahead of time, no matter how, no matter if they're good or not, no matter what they

00:17:02.860 actually do in that position. In fact, she then demonstrated that she certainly, um, did not get

00:17:11.060 the job because of her abilities, unfortunately. So listen to this exchange where she tries to explain

00:17:16.080 why raising taxes will lower inflation. This is the claim that Biden had made, which is that

00:17:23.760 if by raising taxes, it's going to help fix inflation, which is, is totally incoherent, of course,

00:17:31.340 but, um, and it's, it's an indefensible proposition, but you're the press secretary. Literally your job is

00:17:38.240 to defend the indefensible, especially if you're the press secretary for Joe Biden.

00:17:42.440 So let's hear how she does. Look, you know, we have talked about, um, we have talked about this

00:17:48.720 this past year, uh, about, um, making sure that the wealthiest among us are paying their fair share.

00:17:55.420 Um, and that is important to do. And, uh, that is something that, uh, you know, the president has

00:18:00.500 been, you know, working on, uh, every day when we talk about inflation and lowering costs. And so it's

00:18:05.460 very important, uh, that, uh, you know, as we're seeing costs rise, uh, as we're talking about how

00:18:11.960 to, you know, uh, you know, build a America that's safe and that's equal for everyone and doesn't

00:18:17.640 leave everyone behind. That is an important part of that as well. But how does raising taxes on

00:18:24.100 corporations lower the cost of gas, the cost of a used car, the cost of food for everyday Americans?

00:18:30.300 So look, I think we encourage those who have done very well, right? Especially those who care about

00:18:35.700 climate change, uh, to support a fair tax code that doesn't change, that doesn't charge manufacturers,

00:18:41.960 workers, cops, builders, a higher percentage of their earnings that the most fortunate people in

00:18:47.960 our nation and not let this, this, that stand in the way of reducing energy costs and fighting this

00:18:53.260 existential problem. If you think about that as an example and to support basic collective bargaining

00:18:58.960 rights as well, right, that's also important. But look, it is, you know, by not, without having a

00:19:05.620 fairer tax code, which is what I'm talking about, then all, like manufacturing workers, cops, you know,

00:19:12.240 it's not fair for them to have to pay higher taxes than the folks that, who are, who are, who are not

00:19:18.300 paying taxes at all. That's, that's, uh, that's hard to watch. I mean, visibly rifling through her

00:19:26.880 notes, kind of panicked, like, what am I supposed to say here? Reading lines that have nothing to do

00:19:31.080 with the question she was asked, because again, the question was, how does raising taxes help lower

00:19:37.460 inflation? Question isn't about, uh, is it, is it good to raise taxes? Is everybody paying their fair

00:19:44.360 share? Whatever nonsense. That's not the question. The question is, does it lower inflation? Because

00:19:49.020 that's the claim that Joe Biden made. And that's her performance. Now I get that being press secretary

00:19:55.860 is actually a very hard job. You're constantly lying. You can never give a straight answer to

00:20:00.560 anything. At least that's what the job has become, right? Um, now I think once you finally deadened and

00:20:05.640 silenced your conscience, it becomes probably easier. And if you go into it with no conscience at all,

00:20:11.260 then, um, it's, it's even easier. That was, I think, Jen Psaki's great advantage, but, uh, still

00:20:16.780 it's, uh, it, it, that's no excuse for being that bad at it. Now, if it were me and I was asked,

00:20:25.200 Hey, why did the president say that raising taxes will fix inflation? I would just say, well, because

00:20:30.120 he was lying and people don't like paying taxes. And so he was just trying to think of a way to make it

00:20:35.260 more appealing to people. And lots of people are stupid. And so they'll buy it. That's the reason, 1.00

00:20:41.640 but I wouldn't have the job for very long. So I know you can't, you can't say that. I get it.

00:20:47.700 But your job is to say a bunch of stuff where you're not really saying anything, but it sounds

00:20:52.700 like you're saying something that's essentially the job. And there is a certain skill involved there,

00:20:58.320 which Karen Jean pair just doesn't have at all. Uh, she was also asked as we move on here, um,

00:21:05.340 to Buffalo. She was asked why Biden is going to Buffalo. But as we pointed out yesterday,

00:21:10.980 did not go to Waukesha. And here's her answer to that. How come the president is visiting Buffalo

00:21:17.360 after a senseless tragedy there, but he couldn't visit Waukesha after six were killed and 61 injured

00:21:24.020 in an attack on a Christmas parade there. I mean, he's visited many communities, Buffalo. He was,

00:21:30.180 you know, he was, he's able to go tomorrow to Buffalo, uh, uh, before the trip. That is something

00:21:36.240 that was important for him to do, but he has visited many, many other communities. This is not,

00:21:41.380 Buffalo is not the first community, sadly, that he has to go up to, uh, because of a violent attack.

00:21:47.020 So, you know, that's not, that's not the first one. So he's been to many others.

00:21:53.880 Well, right. No one said that he's never visited communities before. She reminds me of my kids.

00:21:58.640 You know, if I'm like, Hey Luke, you didn't clean your room when I told you to,

00:22:01.400 why didn't you clean your room? Daddy, I cleared the table yesterday after dinner.

00:22:06.040 What does that have to do with cleaning your room though? That's not, yeah, I understand that

00:22:08.820 you've done chores in the past. I've told you to do, but that's not the chore I asked you to do

00:22:12.040 specifically right now. So in this case, she says, uh, well, he's, he's, he's gone to plenty

00:22:16.780 of communities. He's gone to me. He's gone to, I mean, dozens and dozens of communities. And it's

00:22:21.220 probably hundreds of communities. There are so many communities that Joe Biden has been to.

00:22:26.800 I could list them all, but it's just, there's so many I couldn't even list.

00:22:30.380 Well, we understand that, but that actually only further, um, underscores the point that he didn't

00:22:37.000 go to Waukesha. So responding to that by saying, Oh, he goes to communities all the time. He's

00:22:41.440 always visiting communities. Well, that just makes it worse. Don't you see Karen Jean pair?

00:22:46.180 It makes it worse because he didn't go to Waukesha. So he goes to communities all the time,

00:22:51.100 especially ones where there's a, some sort of a mass attack. Didn't go to Waukesha. Why is that?

00:22:59.540 Well, we know the answer and I know it's the answer she can't give,

00:23:02.560 but the actual answer is that the victims were white. And so Democrats, they just don't care about

00:23:08.400 that. Um, speaking of Buffalo, I want you, I want you to listen to what this reporter says

00:23:13.160 when asking Karen Jean pair about the so-called great replacement theory. Just listen to the,

00:23:20.440 uh, the words that are used here. Very, very telling. Listen,

00:23:24.420 there's polling that shows one in three Americans believe in some element of replacement theory.

00:23:30.600 You just spoke in very broad brushstrokes there. Are there specifics that this White House is

00:23:36.300 willing to do, willing to take in order to stop this form of thinking from further seeping out of

00:23:43.100 the fringe and into the mainstream? So, you know, we're going to continue to call this out. Um,

00:23:49.300 as we have, uh, talked about many times, uh, the president at, at, at every chance he's had,

00:23:55.040 when we've seen a, a violent, uh, attack like this, that is, uh, uh, that is, as we, you know,

00:24:01.540 say with hatred, um, and racially motivated, he calls it out and calls it what it is.

00:24:09.520 What are we going to do to stop this form of thinking? They're not even trying to hide it.

00:24:15.780 How are we going to stop? There's somebody in the press asking this, by the way,

00:24:19.100 how are we going to stop people from thinking like this and thinking like what exactly? I mean,

00:24:25.840 what is the form of thinking? Well, it's this, uh, it's, uh, the, the so-called great replacement

00:24:31.200 theory. And one of the club, I want to play for you on this. And then, uh, and then I have a couple

00:24:35.900 exactly. I have some examples in fact, of the great replacement theory that I want to present to you.

00:24:40.760 But first here's Chuck Schumer on the floor of the Senate yesterday, also railing it. And we,

00:24:45.200 there are so many examples we could pull from because this is, this has been, uh, the current

00:24:49.700 thing for the Democrats over the last couple of days is the, uh, the great replacement theory,

00:24:53.760 which they're accusing Republicans of engaging in. And so here's just one example, Chuck Schumer

00:24:58.300 on the floor of the Senate railing about it. Listen, this is replacement theory in a nutshell.

00:25:04.760 It is dangerous and a deeply anti-American worldview. It is poisoning minds, people's minds who spend

00:25:14.760 hours wandering the darkest wastelands of the internet. And let's be clear. It's a message that

00:25:22.940 has also found a special home in several right-wing outlets and on one cable news channel in particular,

00:25:30.820 Fox News. In a craven quest for viewers and ratings, organizations like Fox News have spent years

00:25:40.400 perfecting the craft of stoking cultural grievance and political resentment, stoking grievance and

00:25:48.680 resentment is of course, all these people do. That is their entire MO. That's their entire political

00:25:54.460 strategy. They have nothing else to offer. They don't do anything but that is just stoke, especially

00:25:59.080 racial grievance and resentment, uh, while he accuses everybody else of doing that. Now the, the,

00:26:05.180 what is the theory here? Well, as I pointed out yesterday, it, this, this actually is a theory

00:26:11.280 from the Democrats and their theory is that whiteness, generally speaking, um, is something that

00:26:20.940 can be and should be, uh, mitigated. It like, like it's, it's a disease. That's the theory on the left

00:26:29.440 is that whiteness is a disease that needs to be cured. And I mean that in a very literal sense. 1.00

00:26:37.740 So I'll just give you one example here. Um, a guy by the name of Donald Moss wrote a paper. This was

00:26:44.160 just last year, wrote a paper for the Journal of the American Psychoanalytic Association. And we can

00:26:49.840 put this up there for you. This is just, just the abstract of this paper. This is what he writes.

00:26:53.800 And this, by the way, is totally in keeping with CRT. I mean, this is basically CRT with a little bit

00:27:00.720 of, of, uh, psychobabble, a little bit of extra psychobabble added in. So this is what Donald

00:27:06.100 Moss says. Whiteness is a condition one first acquires, and then one has a malignant parasitic-like

00:27:13.320 condition to which white people have a particular susceptibility. The condition is foundational, 0.94

00:27:18.680 generating characteristic ways of being in one's body and one's mind and in one's world.

00:27:22.040 Parasitic whiteness renders its host's appetites voracious, insatiable, and perverse. These

00:27:29.460 deformed appetites particularly target non-white peoples. Once established, these appetites are 0.84

00:27:34.560 nearly impossible to eliminate. Effective treatment consists of a combination of psychic and social

00:27:40.120 historical interventions. Such interventions can reasonably aim only to reshape whiteness's 0.98

00:27:45.140 infiltrated appetites to reduce their intensity, redistribute their aims, and occasionally turn those

00:27:50.520 aims toward the work of reparation. And then we go forward a little bit, and it says,

00:27:55.280 um, there is not yet a permanent cure.

00:28:00.660 So this is the, again, totally consistent. This is not just some fringe concept. Totally consistent

00:28:10.580 with CRT. This way of thinking is, there's a reason why it was published in the Psychoanalytic

00:28:15.360 Journal. It's all over the psychology and psychiatry industry. And he is quite literally saying that

00:28:23.320 whiteness is a parasitic condition for which it is necessary that we find a permanent cure.

00:28:30.640 You find this in the media too. Um, here's this from, this is Jennifer Rubin at the Washington Post.

00:28:36.200 Um, somewhat infamous tweet from last year. And she was responding to census data, which, which,

00:28:43.900 which showed at the time, and as we've seen this in successive census reports, the number of white

00:28:49.480 people falls for the first time. So she's responding to a headline, which says census data shows widening

00:28:54.340 diversity, number of white people falls for the first time. Jennifer Rubin's response, a more diverse,

00:29:00.580 more inclusive society. This is fabulous news. Now we need to prevent minority white rule. 1.00

00:29:07.300 So she is responding specifically to a headline that says the, the number of white people falls for

00:29:14.320 the first time. She says fabulous news. Now, if, if for some reason it's not immediately obvious

00:29:21.420 why this, why that's a horrific thing to say, all you have to imagine is if the headline had said

00:29:28.380 number of black people falls, and then someone had responded and said fabulous news. So if anyone in 1.00

00:29:37.280 media responded that way to, um, the hypothetical headline saying that the number of black people falls,

00:29:42.120 that person would be done forever. Like their career is over. It's destroyed. There would be

00:29:46.900 100% agreement among everyone everywhere that that is very racist. And it would be, of course.

00:29:55.220 Like if you're cheering for the, for the, for the population of a certain race to dwindle, 0.84

00:30:03.640 that's, that's racist. Like I can't think of a more racist thing than that. And this is what you get on the

00:30:10.700 left. Um, another example, this is from a Hollywood producer, Morgan J Freeman. We have a couple of

00:30:17.420 tweets from him, not to be confused with not that Morgan Freeman, not the fan, not the famous one,

00:30:21.320 the different one. Um, he says, this is just today or yesterday he tweeted this being anti-racist

00:30:27.840 starts by admitting whiteness is a disease. Whiteness is a dominant cultural space with enormous 0.93

00:30:33.600 political significance with the purpose to keep others on the margin. So it's a disease. Whiteness is 1.00

00:30:39.440 a disease. We got to get rid of it. So on and so forth now. Um, so this is the game they play. 0.99

00:30:46.160 First of all, again, the theory that whiteness is a disease, a problem, and we have to minimize it,

00:30:53.160 mitigate it, replace it. Um, that is the theory on the left. And if you notice it, if you simply

00:31:03.780 notice what they're saying and then you point to it and say, Hey, did you hear what that person just

00:31:08.820 said? Then all of a sudden you're the conspiracy theorist. This is the game they play. Um, to great

00:31:17.420 effect. In fact, they just scare people into, uh, into silence.

00:31:25.160 And they create this environment where they can of course say whatever they want. Uh, but then they

00:31:34.360 also get to decide, you know, they could just say what they want. And, uh, but if, if, if in certain

00:31:39.980 circumstances, they might not want you to quote them, they might not want you to notice what

00:31:43.340 they're doing, even when they're explicit about it. And so they get to decide.

00:31:49.260 Eric Swalwell had some thoughts about, uh, about the Buffalo massacre as well. Let's put this tweet up

00:31:54.320 there. He says, my four-year-old just FaceTime to ask what I'm doing to help the people in Buffalo.

00:32:00.300 And why did the bad man do this? Absolutely gutting. This could not be his normal. It's

00:32:05.740 time to ban assault weapons, hashtag end gun violence. Now there's a follow-up. We'll put it

00:32:09.340 up in a second. Uh, but this is, this is of course the meme that Eric Swalwell is, is, uh, is doing

00:32:17.180 here, which is the common thing you should be fine, especially on the left that like, no matter how

00:32:21.000 often this is relentlessly mocked. They keep doing it where they put word, they put their own words

00:32:26.560 into the mouths of their, of their children. And then they do this. Oh, my child just came up to me

00:32:30.820 and said this doesn't matter how often we make fun of this. They just keep on doing it. And the thing

00:32:36.940 is very often when they make up these stories about what their kids have said, we're actually doing

00:32:43.260 them a favor by assuming that they're making it up because if they're not making it up, then it means

00:32:48.180 that they're abusive, means that they're either they're liars or they're terrible parents. So 0.88

00:32:52.780 it's almost like for your own sake, I'm going to assume, I'm going to give you the benefit of the

00:32:56.240 doubt and assume your kid didn't say that. Like, like in this case, your four-year-old, why would

00:33:01.940 your four-year-old know about a mass shooting in Buffalo? Why would you tell your four-year-old

00:33:08.060 that? I have a five-year-old at home. It would never occur to me to turn the news on and say,

00:33:15.620 hey, hey, come on in here, son, and watch this. There's a mass shooting in Buffalo. Let me tell

00:33:21.920 you all about it. Now, the thing about being a very young kid is that you, if you have good

00:33:28.160 parents anyway, you can just be a kid and you don't have to live with the awareness of all of the most

00:33:38.580 horrible things that are happening in the world. There'll be time for that later on in life,

00:33:42.160 but not right now. So a lot of people accused Eric Swalwell of making this up and he wanted

00:33:48.420 us to know that he didn't make it up. So he, uh, he followed up with, put the follow tweet up there.

00:33:53.800 I love the, uh, the no four-year-old would ask this takes. You're in absolute denial. If you think

00:33:58.520 our kids aren't watching the horrors that we're allowing. And then he, and then he shows the text

00:34:03.920 message exchange, whereas I guess it's his wife. And that's kind of confusing because his wife

00:34:10.420 text him. He wants to know if you're going to help the family of the people who died at the

00:34:13.860 supermarket massacre. And then there's a picture of a kid watching the news, watching CNN, but the

00:34:19.400 kid has a bow in the hair and is wearing a dress. So is Eric Swalwell dressing his son up like a girl

00:34:27.080 or is that his daughter? Who knows? I mean, I wouldn't put it past him, of course.

00:34:30.040 So he's dunking on us by, by he's sort of debunking our claims that he's lying by saying,

00:34:38.360 no, no, I actually am a terrible parent. And I do tell my four-year-old about these kinds of things.

00:34:44.560 Okay. Well have it your way, Swalwell. You're a terrible parent then. I'm, I'm, I'm fine believing

00:34:49.720 that. Totally believable. All right. Uh, one of the couple I want to play for you on a more positive

00:34:54.620 note. Here's Republican Senator James Lankford yesterday on the floor of the Senate, uh, making

00:34:59.820 a point that may sound familiar if you listen to this show, but still an important point. Let's

00:35:03.440 listen. You know, it's federal law right now that we protect turtle eggs, turtles. If you destroy a

00:35:11.920 turtle egg, it's a federal offense with a very big fine. If you destroy an Eagle egg, it's a very big

00:35:18.380 offense with a federal fine. Do you find that odd? And I'm just in dialogue with this person. Do you find

00:35:22.820 that odd that in federal law, we protect an Eagle egg, acknowledging that's an Eagle inside that

00:35:29.240 egg? And we protect a turtle egg saying we acknowledge that's a turtle inside that egg,

00:35:34.120 but we allow the destruction of children. And to my shock, they responded, well, turtles and Eagles

00:35:43.100 are endangered. So they should be protected.

00:35:51.820 And I'm called the extremist.

00:35:55.860 Uh, it's, this is a point that should, I'm glad he brought it up on the floor of the Senate because

00:36:00.720 this is a point that, uh, should be made that we should, that we should keep making because

00:36:04.480 especially now we could talk about the endangered species as we did on the show. But, um, the most

00:36:11.040 important thing to bring up is like, no, it's not just, it's not just, it's bad enough. If turtles

00:36:15.980 that are walking around in the sand, you know, if they're protected more than babies are, which they

00:36:20.660 are, but it's, it's also in their embryonic form. They are not only protected, but legally recognized.

00:36:28.540 That's the point here. A, an embryonic turtle is legally recognized as a turtle. And yet an embryonic

00:36:38.060 human is not legally recognized as a human. That's the point.

00:36:44.600 And so you can't escape that point by saying, well, turtles are endangered.

00:36:50.880 So they're endangered. So they, does that change what they, what they fundamentally biologically are

00:36:57.640 because they're endangered? Then they, they still count as turtles when they're in their embryonic

00:37:02.740 phase, but, but humans, that doesn't make any sense. And also just another point on this endangered

00:37:08.960 thing. Aren't we told that human beings are also endangered? I'm pretty sure I've been,

00:37:16.380 I've been reliably informed by Alexandria, Queza, Cortez, and many others that we actually,

00:37:21.920 not only are we endangered, but we have, I don't know, they said it was 12 years and then it keeps

00:37:26.860 changing. But it's in fact, it, it, interestingly enough, it's all, it always seems to be about 10 to 12

00:37:31.640 years is the amount of time we have to live left on this planet. And then, but it's always 10 years

00:37:37.400 in the future. So it's 10 years in the future right now. And then we're going to get to 10 years

00:37:40.780 from now. It'll be, it'll be a 2032. And it was, well, still, we still have 10 years left,

00:37:45.520 but one way or another, we have 10 years left because of climate change. So we're endangered also,

00:37:52.380 aren't we? But that's again, kind of irrelevant because the point, it's just a, it's a logical

00:38:00.460 contradiction here. Does a, does a, a creature at its earliest phases of existence, is that,

00:38:10.460 is that a, is it a different category? Is it like almost a different species or is it the same

00:38:16.640 species, the same category, just in a, in its earliest phase of development? I mean, which is it?

00:38:25.800 That's the question that they have to confront. All right. One other thing I want to play for you,

00:38:28.900 this is a, before we get to the comment section, this is a TikTok video that somebody sent to me.

00:38:34.260 And here is someone attempting to answer the question of what is a woman? And not only are

00:38:41.360 they answering it, but they're doing it, thankfully, in the form of poetry. So let's listen to this.

00:38:47.900 You know what question really frustrates me? What is a woman? So I wrote a poem. 1.00

00:38:53.840 What is a woman? How do you define? Are we the sum of our parts or is it more refined? Must we be 1.00

00:39:02.300 feminine or dress all in pink? Is it how we dress and act or how we think? Is it our bodies that make

00:39:10.740 us a she? Is it our DNA, our biology? Yet there are women who have no uterus, no breasts, who cannot give 1.00

00:39:19.840 birth? Do we call them less? So it's not nature, organs, or dress. How do we define what a woman is 0.76

00:39:27.720 best? A woman is someone who decides who she is. It's not an answer on some imaginary quiz. 1.00

00:39:36.280 Some women are strong. Some women feel small. Some women are so hurt they feel nothing at all. 1.00

00:39:42.680 Some women are alone. Some women are mothers. Some women are vengeful. Some women are lovers. 1.00

00:39:50.380 Womanhood is more than a box we fit in. We don't owe an answer to questions asked with a smug grin. 1.00

00:39:58.320 We owe no explanation. We aren't here to appease. We are women. We will be who we please.

00:40:06.260 Hope you guys liked it. Love and light. I wish that someone when we were shooting the film had

00:40:13.120 broken out into poetry for me because that would have been great. That's the one thing. I told you

00:40:18.060 there's a lot of stuff in this film, a lot of shocking moments, but no, I didn't get any poetry.

00:40:22.500 So I'm a little bit upset about that. Maybe we can add that to a credit sequence or something in the

00:40:27.000 film. I don't know. But that's her attempt at an answer. And it is, even though she takes the poetry

00:40:34.720 approach, it's exactly what everyone does, of course, where she's just adding a whole bunch of 0.99

00:40:40.520 words, but then it comes down and you're waiting and you're waiting. I don't know about you, but I

00:40:45.780 was on the edge of my seats there, metaphorically anyway, listening like, okay, it's all the poetry

00:40:51.640 and the rhyming. Very nice. Are we going to get to an answer at the end? We get the last stanza.

00:40:56.660 Are you going to finally have the answer? But at the very end, it's no, there's no answer.

00:41:00.680 So all of that to come down to the conclusion of, oh, I have no idea. I don't know what a

00:41:05.560 woman is. A woman is anything they please. That doesn't help us at all. It's also, of course, 1.00

00:41:16.180 not true. Okay. You can't, nobody can be literally anything they want to be. So, but putting that

00:41:24.280 aside for a second, it doesn't actually answer the question. So a lot of dancing around it,

00:41:30.740 but at least you danced around in the form of a rhyme. So I can appreciate that.

00:41:34.640 Well, it's finally happened. The Fed is realizing the dire straits that our economy is in thanks to

00:41:39.120 our loose monetary policy. Apparently you can't just spend trillions every year with no repercussions.

00:41:44.160 Who would have thought? Now to play catch up, the Fed has been raising rates and plans to

00:41:48.000 raise them seven times this year alone. You're already starting to see those ripple effects in the

00:41:52.900 housing market as people's buying power diminishes. Have you considered what could happen in the stock

00:41:57.560 market if our economy stalls out? Don't wait till that happens. Don't wait till it's too late. Take

00:42:31.400 Walsh to 989898 and secure the gains that you've made while you can. Let's get now to the comment

00:42:38.520 section.

00:42:39.020 Do you know their name? They're the sweet baby gang.

00:42:44.840 Let's see. Angela says, I want to become a Daily Wire member just for your movie, Matt. Well,

00:42:53.140 we appreciate that. And lots of people telling me that they want to become a Daily Wire member to

00:42:57.380 watch this film. And I hope for the sake of my own feelings that you're actually doing it. So go to

00:43:03.400 whatiswoman, because it's going to hurt my feelings if you don't. Go to whatiswoman.com and sign up and

00:43:07.200 become a member today. Let's see. Scott says, okay, Matt, I'll admit that the plane with the

00:43:12.380 What Is One banner flying behind it was impressive, but I have to mention the fact that I didn't see

00:43:16.000 a single ash-breasted tit tyrant flying around that day. How could you possibly still believe

00:43:20.860 that the ash-breasted tit tyrant community is not threatened by habitat loss? Well, if you saw the

00:43:27.600 footage of the Women's March, you saw plenty of the ash-breasted tit tyrant. It turns out that 1.00

00:43:31.880 they're flightless birds. They're much like penguins. They don't fly. And they, in fact,

00:43:36.980 have the physique of large emperor penguins, it turns out. Steve-O says, in reference to

00:43:46.340 today's canceling, I'm an immigrant from Australia. I've been here for 20 years and call myself an

00:43:50.600 American. Here's what I get asked all the time. Do you know Crocodile Dundee? Are you having a nice

00:43:56.660 vacation or welcome to America? The interesting part is it's usually the libs that ask me why on earth I

00:44:01.200 would want to leave Australia for the U.S.? Conservatives will say Australia is a place

00:44:04.520 they'd like to visit. I usually answer the former with, for freedom. Americans are the most

00:44:08.960 welcoming people on the planet. Stop with the nonsense. What on earth is wrong with people

00:44:12.280 talk? What on earth is wrong with talking about where you're from? Have some fun with it. Another

00:44:17.200 thing I get asked is if kangaroos hop down the city streets, I always go with yes and add in that 1.00

00:44:22.240 if you see a red kangaroo, you may be able to hitch a ride on it as they're 16 feet tall.

00:44:26.840 That is, unless it hasn't killed you first. Yeah, but do kangaroos just hop down the street 0.78

00:44:31.760 in Australia? I'd like an actual answer to that question. Yeah, this is the correct

00:44:36.660 attitude that any human being should have. And I say this, I mean, I was thinking about this

00:44:43.380 yesterday. We did the daily cancellation about these leftist immigrants complaining when people 1.00

00:44:46.720 ask them where they're from. And I'm saying how absurd that is to be offended by it. I say this

00:44:53.380 is someone who, who infamously is not a big fan of small talk, but even though I'm not a big fan of

00:44:57.720 it, see, that's, that's, this is a perfect example. I'm not a big fan of it, but I'm not offended when

00:45:02.000 someone attempts it. And I also realize that my issues with small talk, those are my issues. So I

00:45:08.460 don't have the right to actually be offended that anyone would dare try to strike up a small talk

00:45:13.860 conversation. That's my own hangup, which I'm entitled to and which I will cling to, but I'm not

00:45:19.760 going to, I'm not going to make it your problem. And especially if you're an immigrant to this 1.00

00:45:24.800 country and you're welcome into this country and people are showing an interest in where you're

00:45:32.040 from and they want to know about your, the culture, where you're from and the country. Like, how about

00:45:38.100 have a little bit of gratitude for the fact that you've been welcomed and people are taking an

00:45:42.960 interest? Would you actually prefer that you come to this country and then you're just ignored?

00:45:48.260 Nobody cares.

00:45:52.100 Oh, well, of course, as we discussed yesterday, they, the people that have this attitude, and this is,

00:45:57.800 this is the way the left approaches these issues, which is that, you know, sometimes they're in the

00:46:03.340 mood to talk about themselves and their identity and sometimes they aren't. And you're supposed to

00:46:08.340 know ahead of time and read their mind. And that's the way that's supposed to work. The value of the

00:46:11.900 minivan pickup sedan or whatever you drive probably appreciated significantly last year. Take care of your

00:46:17.160 automotive investment and keep more of your money by buying the auto parts you need to maintain and

00:47:31.940 radical worldwide repercussions that followed, Candace Owens has taken her bold lens to the people and

00:47:36.880 places that ignited the violent and racially divided aftermath. Join Candace as she goes beyond what

00:47:42.680 you've been told by the media to bring the truth to light and expose The Greatest Lie Ever Told.

00:47:47.720 The trailer for this explosive documentary drops tonight at 8 p.m. Central Time on Candace Owens' show,

00:47:52.560 The Greatest Lie Ever Told, George Floyd and the Rise of BLM, is only available to Daily Wire members.

00:48:02.280 exclusive trailer. You don't want to miss it. Now let's get to our daily cancellation.

00:48:06.880 So a writer by the name of Michelle Saika highlights what she says is the worst land

00:48:15.380 acknowledgement she's ever seen. Now for those who are unfamiliar with this cutting-edge

00:48:19.040 innovation in the field of white guilt, a land acknowledgement is something like an act of

00:48:23.000 contrition that a Catholic might say after confessing his sins to the priest, except in this case the

00:48:27.260 act of contrition is being offered to some randomly selected group of Indians who lived on the land in 0.98

00:48:31.860 question at some arbitrary point in the past, land acknowledgements are meant to acknowledge that we

00:48:38.020 are allegedly on tribal land. So needless to say, talking about the worst land acknowledgement, it's

00:48:43.820 like discussing the most unpleasant port-a-potty you've ever been in. I mean, there aren't any good

00:48:48.520 ones. They're just varying degrees of sickening. The one presented here for consideration is from 0.97

00:48:53.260 Vancouver Island University. And it says, Vancouver Island University acknowledges that we are on the

00:48:59.760 traditional and unceded territory of the, oh boy, the Snuni Muxu. Well, how do you do that? That's 0.78

00:49:08.600 XW. How do you pronounce that? Anyway, territory of the Snuni Muxu people. And we thank them for allowing

00:49:15.440 us to live, laugh, love, and learn here. Okay, I take it back. That is probably the worst. If only

00:49:23.220 the pioneers who conquered these lands with their blood and sweat and toil could have known that a

00:49:27.600 few hundred years hence, their descendants would be groveling before these Indian tribes and whispering 1.00

00:49:32.080 to them, thank you for allowing us to live, laugh, and love, and do yoga here. Our answers probably

00:49:38.060 would have just turned around and went home and said it's not worth the effort. Why bother bleeding and

00:49:42.340 dying for a civilization that will one day be inherited by the most embarrassing, obsequious, 0.97

00:49:46.960 effeminate weaklings to ever live on planet Earth? Perhaps that's the point of all of this. 1.00

00:49:51.660 The left is punishing their ancestors by becoming everything their ancestors would hate.

00:49:56.940 In fact, come to think of it, that is exactly the point. But we're getting ahead of ourselves.

00:50:01.220 Michelle provides another fun contender for the worst land acknowledgement. This one from the

00:50:05.600 Washington State Department of Corrections. It reads, the Washington State Department of

00:50:09.640 Corrections acknowledges that its facilities, offices, and operations are on the ancestral lands

00:50:13.960 and customary territories of indigenous peoples, tribes, and nations. Corrections gives thanks to

00:50:20.220 the tribes for caring for these lands since time immemorial and honors its ongoing connection to

00:50:24.620 these communities past, present, and future. We welcome the opportunity to collaborate with the

00:50:28.320 indigenous populations and communities and strive to work with our tribal partners to improve the lives

00:50:32.580 of indigenous people and non-indigenous neighbors throughout the state. Okay, you're a prison, 1.00

00:50:38.820 so just calm down here. But these acknowledgements also come in video form, lucky for you. For

00:50:45.320 instance, last week, the Aspen Ideas Festival kicked off with this quirky little disclaimer. Listen to

00:50:51.360 this. Truth and acknowledgement are the foundation to healing and transformation. We begin this effort

00:50:59.140 today by acknowledging that we are in the ancestral lands of native nations, including the Taino,

00:51:04.960 the Calusa, the Calusa, the Tequesta, and today, the sovereign and unseated homelands of the Seminole 1.00

00:51:11.520 Tribe of Florida and the Miccosukee Tribe of Indians of Florida. Our communities and ways have existed long

00:51:19.080 before the United States. We have survived attempted takeovers, the Indian Removal Act under Andrew

00:51:25.960 Jackson. Three seminal wars between 1814 and 1858, being hunted with bloodhounds, rounded up like cattle,

00:51:35.360 and forced on the Trail of Tears. Okay, the Trail of Tears started in 1830, so that's nearly 200 years

00:51:44.460 ago. My ancestors were dying in the potato famine around that time, but you don't hear me complaining

00:51:50.520 about it. If you're carrying around grievances that date back two centuries to a time before you or

00:51:58.020 your parents or your parents' parents' parents' parents' grandparents' parents were alive, then that

00:52:03.940 tells me that you have these grievances because you want them. They're an emotional tool that you like to

00:52:10.260 use. Here's the thing. Most human beings on earth today, if they trace their lineage back 200 years,

00:52:18.140 will find that their ancestors endured all manner of unspeakable horrors, deprivations,

00:52:24.460 and sufferings. But only some of us go around talking about it all the time. Only some of us feel

00:52:29.660 that our ancestors' struggles must be acknowledged to us as if we were the ones who suffered those

00:52:35.820 things. But that wasn't even as bad as the acknowledgement that now, as of last year,

00:52:40.940 is played before every home game for the Chicago Blackhawks hockey team. Listen to this.

00:52:48.140 The Chicago Blackhawks acknowledge that the team, its foundation, and the spaces we maintain,

00:52:56.700 work, and compete within stand upon the traditional homelands of the Miami, Sauk,

00:53:03.660 Meskwaki, Ho-Chunk, Menominee, and the Council of the Three Fires, the Ojibwe, Odawa, and Potawatomi 0.88

00:53:11.740 nations. We understand that this land holds immense significance for its original stewards.

00:53:18.140 The Native nations, and the peoples of this region. We would also like to recognize that our team's

00:53:25.420 namesake, Sauk War Leader Blackhawk, serves as a continuous reminder of our responsibility to the

00:53:32.320 Native American communities we live amongst and draw inspiration from.

00:53:37.280 Yes, it's very important that we pay homage to the Ho-Chunk people before a hockey game. I can't tell you how many times I've been 0.99

00:53:48.180 sitting down to watch a sporting event and thought to myself, you know, it's not fair that we're all enjoying

00:53:52.420 ourselves here and just completely ignoring the Ho-Chunks. It's just, I've said it so many times, like it's my family, 1.00

00:53:58.500 they're sick of me saying, because I always say it. They also, of course, had to pay deference to

00:54:02.820 Sauk War Leader Blackhawk, who was an Indian warlord born in the mid-1700s. It'd be quite rude to have a hockey

00:54:09.080 match without mentioning an Indian warlord from 250 years ago, obviously. As a war leader, Blackhawk

00:54:15.300 would have led raiding parties. Now, do you know what raiding parties did? They weren't throwing parties,

00:54:22.120 as we think of them today. I can tell you that. Okay, these weren't birthday parties,

00:54:25.180 they were raiding parties. And raiding meant stealing from and terrorizing other tribes, 0.79

00:54:29.580 often killing their men, kidnapping and raping their women and their children. Okay, that's what 0.97

00:54:33.740 Indian tribes did. So when you hear about an Indian warlord, that's what he did. This is how they

00:54:39.720 lived. And of course, you know, we're obsessed with problematic, we got to sift through the lives

00:54:46.160 of all the historical figures, tear down the statues. We're worried about problematic historical

00:54:50.020 figures. But the only historical figures we're still allowed to honor are Indian warlords from 200

00:54:56.340 years ago that raped and killed children. This is what happened in Indian tribes. It was the case 1.00

00:55:04.620 everywhere without exception. They stole from each other, they killed, they kidnapped, they conquered,

00:55:09.160 and so on, over and over again, century upon century. This is one of the many reasons why

00:55:14.340 this whole land acknowledgement thing is ludicrous. Whose land is it? Who are we supposed to be

00:55:21.400 acknowledging? Just the most recent tribe to occupy it before white people showed up? But that tribe 0.87

00:55:27.180 stole it from another, and that one from a different tribe, and on and on, stretching back into the

00:55:30.560 unknown and unrecorded past. This is not whataboutism. This is, first of all, a simple historical reality

00:55:35.180 that needs to be acknowledged. Speaking of acknowledgements, it's also a logical problem for

00:55:40.180 the white guilt brigade. If this is not really our land, if we occupy it illegitimately because we

00:55:48.160 conquered it, then the same must be said of whatever tribe we took it from, and of whatever tribe they

00:55:52.600 took it from, etc. The only way to escape this problem is to suggest that the white man should be

00:55:57.300 held to a higher standard. But why is that? The only way to justify a higher moral standard for the

00:56:03.380 white man is to claim that the white man is inherently morally superior. But I'm pretty sure that's not what

00:56:09.020 they mean to say or what they want us to take away from this. Which means, then, that the same

00:56:14.640 historical standard applies to everybody, which completely destroys the basis for all of this

00:56:19.040 groveling and apologizing. This land was soaked in the blood of conquest long before anyone with

00:56:26.300 white skin ever stepped foot on these shores. The white man joined the fray, joined the fight, 0.94

00:56:32.440 didn't start it, or least of all, invent the whole concept. After all, what does the word

00:56:38.780 indigenous even mean? According to the Collins Dictionary, it means, quote, people or things

00:56:44.280 that belong to the country in which they are found rather than coming there or being brought there

00:56:48.900 from another country. Okay, well, that means that either no one is indigenous here or we all are. 0.92

00:56:56.660 Because everybody who lives here now, no exceptions here, everyone who lives in the Americas

00:57:03.540 is descended from a group that came here at some point in the past. Period. Now, your ancestors may

00:57:11.440 have come here 1,000 years ago. They may have come here 200 years ago, two years ago. But we all

00:57:17.540 came here. A nation of immigrants. Isn't that what the left always likes to say? Now, it's not actually

00:57:21.560 true because the European settlers came here before it was an actual nation. I mean, they came when it 1.00

00:57:25.840 was unsettled wilderness, which means they weren't technically immigrants. But we did all come here.

00:57:31.540 That's true. That doesn't mean that we can't or shouldn't defend and control our borders.

00:57:36.960 No, because once you claim and settle a territory, you have to defend it. If you won't or you can't,

00:57:43.460 it will cease to exist. If you have land that you won't or can't defend, you will not have it for very

00:57:50.800 long. That's the law of history. That's the way of the world. The Indian tribes played this same game 1.00

00:57:56.440 and understood the rules. It's only we modern people who are stupid and shallow enough to be 1.00

00:58:02.700 scandalized by it. By the way, that land acknowledgement from the university has now 1.00

00:58:08.520 necessitated its own acknowledgement of the sins committed by the acknowledgement. Because the

00:58:13.920 university posted after that, they said, we thank Michelle Saika for bringing to our attention an

00:58:18.200 unofficial land acknowledgement on our website. We apologize to those who are negatively impacted by

00:58:23.180 this language. Apologizing for an apology. And if anybody was negatively impacted by the apology for

00:58:30.860 the apology, they'll no doubt apologize for the apology for the apology. They are stuck now in a

00:58:35.540 self-perpetuating cycle of groveling, a vortex of cringe. This is the inevitable end result.

00:58:43.440 It's where it always leads. And it's why land acknowledgements and all who give them are today

00:58:49.680 canceled. And we'll leave it there for today. Thanks for watching. Thanks for listening. Have
