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
00:00:12.420
at her job. Democrats say it's a racist conspiracy theory that they hate so-called whiteness, but
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
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
00:02:01.600
a literal guarantee that all of our children are going to be indoctrinated into the trans cult
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
00:03:02.780
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
00:03:31.360
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.
00:03:47.300
The teacher required my daughter to read, memorize this and read this pornographic material.
00:03:52.660
Excuse me. Please don't engage with the audience.
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.
00:04:16.080
If you don't want me to read it to you, what was that like for my 15-year-old daughter to
00:04:23.820
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
00:04:43.720
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
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,
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.
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.
00:11:49.700
That's the announcement. Don't try to see the best in people. Don't give any grace.
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

00:13:36.320
So the new White House spokeswoman took over for Jen Psaki yesterday, had her very first
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
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
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
00:15:14.720
secretaries. It's just an entire mountain of them that I stand atop. She's truly the Jackie
00:15:20.600
Robinson of gay press secretaries. Well, nevermind, actually, because Jackie Robinson was great at his
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
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,
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.
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,
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
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
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,
00:28:00.660
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.
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
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,
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
00:30:33.600
political significance with the purpose to keep others on the margin. So it's a disease. Whiteness is
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.
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
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
00:35:55.860
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.
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
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
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
00:39:27.720
best? A woman is someone who decides who she is. It's not an answer on some imaginary quiz.
00:39:36.280
Some women are strong. Some women feel small. Some women are so hurt they feel nothing at all.
00:39:42.680
Some women are alone. Some women are mothers. Some women are vengeful. Some women are lovers.
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.
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
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,
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
00:42:02.520

00:42:06.740

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
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
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
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
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
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?
00:45:52.100
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
00:46:21.960
repair your vehicle at rockauto.com. Rockauto.com only sells auto parts and related tools.

00:46:32.020
specs, and installation tips that make it really easy to choose the correct parts for your specific
00:46:35.660
vehicle and then install them as well. So they got all, all of it right there on their website.
00:46:39.500
They not only have the auto parts you need, but will give you a selection of trusted name brands to

choose from. You can pick brakes that match how you use your vehicle, whether that's for towing,
00:46:47.920
racing, or just commuting to work. You can get suspension, exhaust, air conditioning, other kits
00:46:51.700

00:46:56.580
might expect would only be available at car dealerships if they're available at all. Parts like
00:47:01.240
the fan inside your seat that cools your tush. You got to put something else there so I stop reading
00:47:06.960
that. That cools your tush. Rockauto.com, prices are always reliably low. That means they do not
00:47:13.080
change prices based on what the market will bear like many airlines and marketplace sites do. Their

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
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
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
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
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,
00:49:46.960
effeminate weaklings to ever live on planet Earth? Perhaps that's the point of all of this.
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,
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
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
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
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,
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,
00:54:29.580
often killing their men, kidnapping and raping their women and their children. Okay, that's what
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
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
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,
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.
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
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
00:57:56.440
and understood the rules. It's only we modern people who are stupid and shallow enough to be
00:58:02.700
scandalized by it. By the way, that land acknowledgement from the university has now
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
