The Matt Walsh Show - Ep. 958 - Like A Creepy Neighbor, State Farm Grooms Children

00:00:00.000 Today on the Matwell Show, State Farm is caught trying to sexualize and indoctrinate children,

00:00:04.220 just another groomer corporation to add to the list. Also, Ricky Gervais mocks gender ideology

00:00:08.460 in his latest Netflix special, and the left is not pleased, shall we say. And a male teacher 0.95

00:00:13.460 brags about wearing panties to school so he can come out to his students. These people just get

00:00:18.120 creepier by the second. Plus, Whoopi Goldberg tries to chime in on the Nancy Pelosi communion

00:00:22.100 situation and humiliates herself in the process. In our daily cancellation, a white MLB player 0.63

00:00:26.340 is suspended for making a racist comment, except the only problem is that the comment was 0.96

00:00:30.300 not even remotely racist, and you'd have to be a lunatic to think otherwise.

00:00:33.660 We'll talk about all that and more today on the Matwell Show.

00:00:44.820 Interest rates will continue to rise until inflation is contained, and that's why it's important to

00:00:48.960 remain on top of your spending and your debt and to make sure you're not wasting money on high

00:00:53.360 interest fees. This is not a time where anyone can afford to waste money. You can get a great deal

00:00:57.320 right now by calling our friends over at American Financing, America's home for home loans. With

00:01:46.280 You know, State Farm's motto declares itself a good neighbor, but as has now been pointed out by

00:01:52.720 many online, they are more like weird, creepy neighbors peeking out the window at your children

00:01:57.800 while they play in the front yard. Leaked emails obtained by a group called Consumers First show

00:02:02.960 that the company was conspiring with an organization called the Gender Cool Project to indoctrinate and

00:02:08.820 sexualize children as young as five years old. Now, why would an insurance company be getting 0.87

00:02:15.020 involved in something like this? What's the point? Is there anywhere we can go in society to be free

00:02:20.060 from the grasp of groomers? The answer to the last question is obviously no. As the Washington

00:02:25.500 Examiner reported yesterday, quote, the auto insurance company State Farm is encouraging its

00:02:29.740 agents in Florida to donate books promoting transgenderism to five-year-olds to their local

00:02:34.040 schools or public libraries, according to an email shared by a whistleblower. The email revealed

00:02:39.040 that State Farm has partnered with the Gender Cool Project, which promotes issues of gender identity in

00:02:45.040 children through various advocacy and public awareness programs to donate a packet of three books to local

00:02:50.480 schools and public libraries. The three books are a kid's book about being transgender, a kid's book about

00:02:56.740 being non-binary, and a kid's book about being inclusive. And they contain various descriptions about gender

00:03:02.760 and identity meant to disprove the notion that gender is the same as biological sex and establish

00:03:07.000 that it is therefore changeable. The Gender Cool Project markets the three-book bundle to children

00:03:11.600 ages five and over, a fact noted in the whistleblower email. Now, if you're curious about the Gender

00:03:18.660 Cool Project, it is, of course, everything that you expect. I looked into it a little bit. It was

00:03:23.640 apparently founded by two parents, Jen and John, whose son, Chazzy, as they describe it, came out as a girl

00:03:32.040 at the age of nine. That, again, is how they describe the situation, came out as a girl. Of

00:03:36.760 course, it's impossible for a boy to come out as a girl or be a girl, but that's what they say.

00:03:41.100 By age 11, two years later, they had founded their activist organization, and they had scored

00:03:45.800 partnerships with not just State Farm, but companies like Nike, General Mills, Intel, Capital One.

00:03:53.360 So you see how quickly and to what extent you can be propped up and funded by the most powerful

00:03:58.240 corporations in the world if you affirm the predominant gender and sexuality doctrines of

00:04:03.380 the day. Just come out and say, oh, we're starting an organization to promote trans stuff, and

00:04:08.920 immediately you're going to have every major corporation in the world knocking on your door

00:04:14.800 and saying, we'd like to give you some money. And you also see how quickly these parents

00:04:19.640 took their son's gender confusion and turned it into a career for them. That's all the boy's choice,

00:04:29.700 though, they claim, right? He can do what he wants. They're simply affirming him. But meanwhile,

00:04:35.780 they've taken him, and they've put him up on the stage under the spotlight, and they've turned him

00:04:41.200 into a mascot and a political symbol. See, this is not affirmation. This is cementation. They are

00:04:48.080 cementing him in place as a girl. That's what everything that they call affirming. It's not

00:04:56.120 affirming. It's cementing. It's like what you are right now with the gender confusion. We want you

00:05:03.360 to stay just like that. He can't change his mind now, the boy. You know, that's how he's going to see

00:05:11.160 it. And that's the message that these parents and so many parents of trans kids, quote-unquote,

00:05:18.020 that's what the message is. And it's very intentional. And it's not very subtle.

00:05:23.340 In the About section on their website, they give this explanation. They say,

00:05:26.960 in 2017, the parents, Jen and John, searched for positive stories about transgender and non-binary

00:05:32.360 kiddos like Chazzy turned up nearly empty. They could count on one hand the positive stories they

00:05:39.080 found focused on who these young people are as talented, amazing leaders. In stark contrast,

00:05:45.620 it took all of five seconds to find a tidal wave of misleading, sensational, negative content

00:05:51.320 about these amazing young people. There's a couple of problems here. First of all,

00:05:56.500 you notice, and they always do this, but they say, well, these kids are leaders. They're leaders.

00:06:00.240 No, no, they're not. Your nine-year-old is not a leader of anything and is not supposed to be.

00:06:08.860 Okay? There's nothing that your nine-year-old is supposed to be leading except maybe the line on

00:06:14.600 the way to lunch, to the cafeteria, if they still even do single file lines in schools. I don't know.

00:06:22.360 Other than that, there's nothing he's supposed to be leading. He's not a leader.

00:06:24.840 Among all the other problems, of course, with taking gender-confused kids and affirming them 1.00

00:06:32.260 in their confusion, or rather cementing them into the confusion, this is one of the problems on the

00:06:38.780 list, is that they always want to take these kids, oh, you're going to be a leader now. We're going to

00:06:42.860 put you up on stage. You're going to be the leader of a movement, and we're all depending on you.

00:06:49.460 You can't change your mind. Of course, that's the message. But as far as their claim that there's

00:06:57.800 all the negative content about trans kids, no, there's no negative content about trans kids.

00:07:03.360 Nobody is attacking these children or criticizing them or blaming them for anything. I've never heard

00:07:09.200 anyone attack a, quote, trans nine-year-old. No one's doing that. No. We are attacking,

00:07:18.700 criticizing, and blaming the parents, not the kids. Parents like this, they say that they're

00:07:25.580 trying to shield their children from the transphobic bigots who are attacking them. But in reality,

00:07:30.640 they're using their children as a shield from the people criticizing them, the parents.

00:07:37.240 So with that background, we can go back to the Washington Examiner article and to State Farm.

00:07:43.000 It says, the project's goal is to increase representation of LGBTQ plus books and support

00:07:48.360 our communities in having challenging, important, and empowering conversations with children age

00:07:52.860 five plus, the email said. Dated January 18th, the email was sent by Jose Soto, a corporate

00:07:58.800 responsibility analyst for State Farm in Florida. And in addition to promoting the company's partnership

00:08:03.620 with Gender Cool Project that sought to recruit six State Farm insurance agents in Florida to

00:08:08.340 receive these books in March, then donate them to their community by the end of April.

00:08:12.240 This is a fantastic way to give back on an easy project that will help support the LGBTQ plus

00:08:17.520 community and to make the world around us better, the email added. While the communique only

00:08:22.060 referenced recruiting volunteer agents in Florida, it indicated that the project is a nationwide

00:08:27.160 initiative. Well, it was a nationwide initiative anyway. Less than 12 hours after this was all

00:08:33.200 made public, State Farm having fielded thousands of complaints from rightfully outraged customers who,

00:08:38.900 you know, just want to, they just want auto insurance. They never intended to fund a nationwide

00:08:43.200 grooming program with their money. And after receiving all that backlash, they announced that the program

00:08:47.820 was being canceled. The Daily Wire reports, State Farm is backing down Monday after outrage over its

00:08:54.140 plan to donate books promoting transgenderism to schools and public libraries for children as young as

00:08:57.680 five years old. Quote, State Farm's support of a philanthropic program, Gender Cool, has been the subject of

00:09:03.300 news and customer inquiries. Reads a May 23rd email from Victor Terry, State Farm's chief diversity officer to

00:09:09.500 State Farm agents. According to the popular Twitter account, Libs and TikTok, the program was intended to

00:09:13.980 promote inclusivity, but State Farm will no longer support it. Quote, conversations about gender and identity

00:09:18.740 identity should happen at home with parents, reads Terry's email. We don't support required curriculum

00:09:24.780 in schools on this topic. We will no longer support that program, he said. We will continue to explore

00:09:30.360 how we can support organizations that provide tools and resources that align with our commitment to

00:09:34.700 diversity and inclusion. The company also said that it supports organizations providing resources for

00:09:39.680 parents to have these conversations. Ah, so these conversations should be happening at home, you say?

00:09:47.260 Hmm. And it only took an afternoon of intense backlash to help them arrive at this conclusion.

00:09:54.160 And this goes to show a couple of things, a couple of lessons that we've already learned a million times

00:09:58.920 already. But what's once more? The first is that, as we see once again, there is a conspiracy at every

00:10:07.540 level of society and among the richest and most powerful people to turn your children trans. Okay? This is 0.97

00:10:14.780 happening. It's an actual conspiracy. And the conspiracy, conspirators have had enormous success.

00:10:21.700 But the second is that the plan relies heavily on the cover of darkness.

00:10:26.420 All you have to do is just turn the lights on and the whole thing starts to fall apart.

00:10:32.120 So our goal now should be to turn on every lamp in the house.

00:10:39.580 Leave no dark rooms or corners. Expose it all. Let the light shine.

00:10:46.580 Now let's get to our five headlines.

00:10:48.120 The rise in popularity of cryptocurrency over the last decade has attracted legitimate investors

00:10:59.180 as well as fraudsters. These cybercriminals use Ponzi schemes, fake investment scams, trading scams,

00:11:04.960 and fake giveaways to steal your money and your personal information. That's why it's important

00:11:08.800 to remember to never reply to messages that sound too good to be true, especially when it comes to

00:11:13.900 your savings. And it's so important to understand how cybercrime and identity theft are affecting

00:11:18.080 our lives. Your personal information gets exposed so often, and that makes it dangerously easy for

00:11:22.880 a cybercriminal to steal your identity and steal everything else in your life, your reputation,

00:11:27.940 your money. Protect your identity. It's never been easier with LifeLock by Norton. LifeLock detects

00:11:33.380 and alerts you to potential identity threats that you may not spot on your own, like loans taken out in

00:12:06.980 Letters, with a quote from, I think it was, if I remember correctly, St. Thomas More saying that

00:12:12.160 the devil cannot endure to be mocked, and that's why he should be, because that's the appropriate

00:12:18.980 response to evil is to mock it. That shouldn't be our only response to evil, but that is an

00:12:24.200 appropriate response. That should be a big part of our rebuttal, as it were, to evil, because evil is

00:12:30.900 proud, and it's arrogant, haughty, self-involved, narcissistic, and, you know, props itself up above 0.73

00:12:36.880 everybody, but it's propped up on stilts, which can easily be kicked and knocked over, which is 0.93

00:12:43.520 exactly what we should be doing. And that's why I'm a huge proponent of mocking gender ideology, 0.97

00:12:49.980 which is from the devil. And ironically, Ricky Gervais doesn't believe in the devil because, you know,

00:12:56.800 he's an atheist, but he does a great job of mocking him, including in this. There's a bit from his new 0.57

00:13:04.780 Netflix special, which I think was just launched on Netflix yesterday. And this bit's going viral,

00:13:11.000 and of course, it has the left very, very angry. And here he is making jokes about gender ideology.

00:13:17.500 Now, the thing is, you know, Dave Chappelle gets sort of the credit as being the brave comedian who will,

00:13:25.680 you know, make jokes about the trans phenomenon and all that kind of stuff.

00:13:29.700 I've always thought that Dave Chappelle's jokes are, I appreciate that he's making them at all,

00:13:35.060 I guess, but the jokes are, I've always thought, kind of pretty safe and tame.

00:13:40.060 He doesn't go nearly as far as he could. It always seems to me that Dave Chappelle,

00:13:44.980 even though he gets credit or blame, depending on how you want to, you know, depending on your

00:13:48.480 perspective, for being the guy who will talk about these kinds of things, it always seems to me like

00:13:53.740 he pulls his punches. And on top of that, also, his recent standup specials, I just think aren't

00:14:00.620 that funny. Like, he's not making a lot of jokes. He's just sort of up there preaching. But what he's

00:14:06.020 saying in his preaching isn't really all that provocative or edgy, you know, at all. But here,

00:14:14.680 I think Ricky Gervais really goes for it, really goes for it. So let's listen to this.

00:14:20.440 The old-fashioned women. Oh, God. You know, the ones with wombs. 1.00

00:14:24.520 Oh. 0.99

00:14:25.320 Those f***ing dinosaurs. 0.99

00:14:29.320 No, I love the new women. I know the new women. They're great, aren't they? You know, the new ones 1.00

00:14:35.680 we've been seeing lately. The ones with beards and f***s. They're as good as gold. I love them. 0.99

00:14:43.200 No, it's the old-fashioned women. And now the old-fashioned women. They're like, oh, they want to use 1.00

00:14:48.620 our toilets. Why shouldn't they use your toilets? For ladies. They are ladies. Look at their pronouns. 1.00

00:14:56.980 What about this person isn't a lady? Well, his penis. 1.00

00:15:01.360 Her penis, you f***ing bigot. 1.00

00:15:12.660 What if he rapes me? What if she rapes you? You f***ing turf whore. 1.00

00:15:19.440 Now, the great thing is that, yeah, that's funny, but that is also exactly what the trans activists 1.00

00:15:28.700 actually say. Like, he didn't say anything in this imaginary conversation between a sane person

00:15:35.280 and a trans activist. He is fairly representing, and this shows you how absurd it is, that he could 0.96

00:15:41.060 stand on stage as a stand-up comedian and simply say exactly what these people actually say,

00:15:46.880 and it's a hilarious punchline, because that's how insane it is. Her penis, like, that's what they 1.00

00:15:54.060 say. That is 100% what they say. There's absolutely no strawmanning going on there at all. 1.00

00:16:01.560 And is this the right approach? Like, should we be doing this? Should comedians be up there?

00:16:09.320 Should anyone be making jokes about this? Yes. Absolutely. Because the claims that the

00:16:19.080 gender ideologues are making and what they're doing, it's very serious. It's incredibly damaging.

00:16:25.540 They're hurting people. They're mutilating kids.

00:16:29.960 They're killing people, actually, putting kids on a path to despair and suicide. So it's very serious

00:16:37.580 on one hand. But also, their whole worldview is totally insane and ludicrous. 0.99

00:16:48.280 And so while we should deal with it on the serious level as well, we should also highlight just how 0.98

00:16:53.340 ludicrous it is. Mockery is a very important tool that I think up until recently, especially when it

00:17:01.280 comes to gender ideology, the sane people have been really reluctant to use. It's a tool that we've

00:17:08.740 been very reluctant to use. And I say we, like, not me, because I haven't been reluctant to use it.

00:17:13.120 But generally speaking, you know, it's sort of the universal we. We've been very reluctant to use

00:17:17.060 this very powerful tool. And it's a tool that the left has, until recently, until they launched

00:17:26.140 their all-out war. Like, comedy is not allowed now on the left. They don't believe in it. But up until

00:17:30.360 that, until they went full Puritan, right, the tool of mockery is something they use to great effect. 0.94

00:17:39.340 And yes, we should be using it here to again highlight that this is ludicrous. 0.77

00:17:45.300 No, we're not going to take it seriously. Okay? The moment you start talking about women with 1.00

00:17:52.620 penises, this is not like we're going to sit down and have a conversation about it and take your point 0.99

00:18:00.320 of view seriously. Okay? The moment you talk about men having babies, we're not going to dignify that by 1.00

00:18:09.540 pretending that there's anything credible in your claim whatsoever. 0.97

00:18:16.220 You're going to be mocked for that because it's insane.

00:18:22.420 But then, so I wish I could just end it there and say about Ricky Gervais, great job, great routine.

00:18:29.140 It does legitimately take courage to do what he did there. And they're going to come after him. I mean,

00:18:35.480 if they went after, think of, again, think about what Chappelle said about all this.

00:18:42.200 Really mild. Okay? There's nothing like that at all. And so if they went after Chappelle,

00:18:49.540 they're going to have to, and on top of it, Gervais is also a white man.

00:18:55.820 And he's going a lot harder against this than Chappelle ever did. So they're going to come after

00:18:59.760 him. It's just going to be the hounds of hell after this guy. And so that takes a lot of courage.

00:19:03.960 Absolutely. It shouldn't take courage. This is your job. You know, you make jokes, you're a comedian.

00:19:11.540 Most comedians make jokes about things that are happening in society. This is the role. This is

00:19:16.100 why comedians are important. They're supposed to, you know, they're supposed to poke the

00:19:20.600 sacred cows, you know, the elephant in the rooms that we don't talk about in society. Those are the

00:19:29.260 things they're supposed to be pointing at and laughing at. That's the role that they are supposed to play.

00:19:33.140 It's what makes them important. So, and all that's good. And I wish I could leave it right there.

00:19:38.920 But then in the Daily Wire article about this, it says this, quoting Ricky Gervais in this same

00:19:45.360 special, I guess, shortly after that bit right there, he says, okay, full disclosure, in real life,

00:19:51.300 of course, I support trans rights. I support all human rights and trans rights are human rights.

00:19:55.180 Live your best life. Use your preferred pronoun. Well, first of all, that's not going to save you, 1.00

00:20:05.360 Ricky. Like it's, there's nothing, there's no qualifier you can add at the end of that

00:20:10.560 that's going to blunt the impact when they come after you. They're going to try to destroy you now

00:20:16.320 and there's nothing you can say afterward. Nothing that's going to change that. So you might

00:20:22.240 as well just let the joke stand. The joke, which is not really a joke, right? Just let it stand and

00:20:27.000 move on to your next material. There's no reason the qualifier, oh, of course I support trans rights.

00:20:31.620 But the moment you say that, it just, it, it, it has the effect, it, it, it, what's going to do is

00:20:41.920 undo everything that you just said. Because, well, you support trans rights. Well, but they would tell us 1.00

00:20:49.120 that it is a matter of trans rights that biological men should be able to use the women's room.

00:20:55.040 So do you support that then? Or maybe you just mean that, well, I support human rights,

00:21:01.620 and so I support the human rights of all people, including trans people. Well, yes,

00:21:07.740 if that's what you mean, then we can agree on that because anyone who believes that human rights exist

00:21:13.500 believes that they exist in all people. But that's, when you say trans rights, that's not what anyone

00:21:21.300 means when they say that. That's not what the trans people mean. They don't just mean, oh, I want the

00:21:25.280 same rights as everybody else. No, that's not what they mean. Because if you just wanted the same rights as

00:21:30.820 everybody else, then you wouldn't need to put the qualifier of a trans, I want trans rights. No,

00:21:35.080 you'd just be out there saying, I want human rights. And any trans person marching saying,

00:21:39.320 I want human rights, I fully agree. You should have human rights. Here's the good news. You have

00:21:43.500 them. So you're fine. Like no one is taking them from you. You have them. You're good to go. You can

00:21:48.520 put the sign down, go and live your life because you have human rights. You have the same rights as

00:21:51.440 anybody. So no, when they, when they marched for trans rights, they want more than that. They want,

00:21:57.800 they want rights on top of human rights. Okay. They want to be able to do things that other people

00:22:04.880 can't do. Prior to trans rights, everybody had the same rules and had to respect the same rules with, 0.96

00:22:11.960 when it comes to bathrooms, you use the bathroom that is in accordance with your biological

00:22:17.320 identity. That's it. Doesn't matter how you feel. Doesn't matter what's going on in your head.

00:22:23.940 Doesn't matter how you identify. Just that's it. Everyone uses the same one. You're coming along

00:22:28.160 and saying, no, no, I want, I want an exception to that. I want to be the exception. And so that's

00:22:32.480 what the trans activists are doing. They want to be one exception after another. I want to be 0.97

00:22:35.820 exception to this. I want to be the exception to that. I want you to reorient society around me.

00:22:41.660 I want you to toss reality, truth, biological science, common sense, decency. I want you to

00:22:50.760 toss all that out the window for me. So whether you mean it or not, when you say I support trans 1.00

00:23:00.020 rights, that is what you are supporting because that is what everybody means when they talk about

00:23:04.800 trans rights. So that's just, man, it's like people come so close. And it's just, this, this to me is

00:23:16.680 even more frustrating than just having someone who affirms the trans stuff and like everybody else. 0.92

00:23:22.640 It's like when you, when you, you get right up to the edge

00:23:25.740 of just being an advocate for the truth without qualification, you get right up to the edge of it

00:23:31.980 and then you turn back. That's frustrating. Uh, but even so good, uh, good routine. And the good

00:23:41.600 thing though, is that especially for the trans activists and LGBT activists who want to make

00:23:47.000 victims of themselves, you know, the part where Gervais says, I support trans rights. Like that's 0.74

00:23:51.340 not going to make it into any of the clips. All of our, all anybody's going to see is that,

00:23:54.860 which is good because that's, I hope that's all anybody sees. That's the good part right there.

00:23:58.960 Um, all right. So this is from NBC news on, uh, monkeypox, not a lot of new information here,

00:24:06.760 but this is another mainstream media outlet picking up this aspect of the story. So maybe

00:24:10.440 worth reading. It says a leading advisor to the world health organization described the

00:24:14.280 unprecedented outbreak of the rare disease monkeypox in developed countries as a random event

00:24:18.520 that might be explained by risky sexual behavior at two recent mass events in Europe. In an interview

00:24:24.160 with the Associated Press, Dr. David Hyman, who, uh, formerly headed who's emergency department.

00:24:29.760 So the leading theory to explain the spread of the disease was sexual transmission among

00:24:32.680 gay and bisexual men at two raves held in Spain and Belgium. Monkeypox has not previously triggered

00:24:37.720 widespread outbreaks beyond Africa where it is endemic and animals. Um, and this is now NBC news

00:24:43.320 also reporting on this, that this, the super spreader events were gay raves. Okay. In Belgium and in, 0.87

00:24:52.320 um, and in Spain. And then CNN has this about, you know, with monkeypox, we're told about this rash.

00:25:00.300 It starts as flu symptoms. And then there's this rash that you get. And CNN reports this,

00:25:05.160 the rash is showing up in different parts of the body than we typically expect to see.

00:25:09.580 Uh, in some cases it has produced anal or genital lesions that look like other diseases like herpes,

00:25:14.520 chickenpox, or syphilis. So anyone with a rash or lesion around or involving their genitals,

00:25:18.520 their anus or any other place that they have not seen before should get fully evaluated both for

00:25:23.440 that rash, particularly for sexual transmitted infection and other illnesses that can cause 0.79

00:25:26.780 the rash. So this just further emphasizes that the monkeypox is essentially a, in this case anyway,

00:25:35.100 for this quote unquote outbreak is a sexually transmitted disease. Now they're, they're kind of,

00:25:41.840 uh, adding some qualification there and saying it's, it's not technically a sexually transmitted

00:25:46.360 disease because it doesn't transmit primarily through sex itself, but through the close contact

00:25:53.300 that you have, uh, with someone when you're engaged in that activity. But all this means,

00:26:01.340 you know what all this means? And we talked about monkeypox yesterday and how it's the media's new,

00:26:05.400 uh, thing. And it's the new hysteria and it's the new current thing. So it's, it's going to put,

00:26:10.040 it puts, you know, Ukraine, Ukraine goes to the side, Ukraine goes down a notch,

00:26:13.760 COVID goes down another notch and then monkeypox at the top. And I think that would be the case,

00:26:20.700 but now I'm not so sure. I think the, the better prediction, the safer prediction now is that

00:26:26.680 monkeypox story is going away. Um, and it's going away because even the mass media can't avoid

00:26:34.080 reporting that the super spreader events was, uh, were, were two gay raves. And these, these things 0.82

00:26:42.060 are being described different ways. Like yesterday was a fetish festival. Now it's a gay rave, but we

00:26:46.480 all get the idea. Affecting primarily gay and bisexual men. Like this is just not a story that 0.78

00:26:54.180 the mainstream media is going to want to talk about. Especially because as we pointed out yesterday,

00:27:01.540 the contradiction here is so glaring that they, for years told us, you lock yourself away in your

00:27:09.040 home, wear masks, do the change everything about your life to avoid COVID. Even your kids,

00:27:14.060 your kids should have their whole lives blown, blown to pieces, uh, to avoid COVID, even though

00:27:19.200 they're not at any risk at any serious risk of spreading or, or, uh, or contracting it.

00:27:25.760 Well, that would mean that the consistent message now with monkeypox is you would be saying to

00:27:30.840 the gay community, uh, don't go to raves and orgies and, and fetish festivals. And the only 1.00

00:27:39.140 difference is that like, that's just good advice all the time, whether there's monkeypox or not,

00:27:44.280 because there's all kinds of other diseases that you can get. And people often do get in those kinds

00:27:48.820 of environments. So that's, but they're not going to send that message. They're not going to say that

00:27:56.040 they don't mind telling everyone in the world to stop everything they're doing.

00:28:02.680 But are they going to point to the gay community and say, don't go to the fetish festivals? Probably 0.92

00:28:07.880 not a good idea. No way. Um, at least they don't want that to be a story. They don't want that to

00:28:13.640 be a big thing. So I think now probably you're going to see, they were kind of ramping up to

00:28:20.780 make monkeypox the new thing. And, but then now that it's unavoidable, that this is primarily right 0.79

00:28:28.580 now, essentially an STD in gay men, uh, I think you're probably going to see it go away. You see, 1.00

00:28:35.240 see the story go away, if not the virus. Um, all right, let's move on to this. So we're used to

00:28:41.620 seeing these creepy, disturbing teachers and all content related to that. But this one picked up

00:28:48.080 by libs of Tik TOK may still shock you. I want to put this tweet up on the screen so you can see the,

00:28:53.560 um, the screenshot. Hold on, let me pull it myself. Okay. So libs of Tik TOK reports,

00:28:59.640 male teacher writes about how good it feels wearing women's undergarments to school

00:29:03.880 and coming out as non-binary to his students. And then we have a male teacher here and here's the

00:29:10.460 picture that he posted online and he has his own caption. He says, so this is me feeling my best

00:29:15.580 teacher self because I'm wearing panties on a work day for the first time ever. And I feel so good.

00:29:22.060 Um, ID, a tall bearded Demi boy with pomaded hair and glasses, wearing a purple and white checked shirt,

00:29:28.880 a gray sweater vest, and a brown tweed jacket with black jeans. And then he continues, I signed up to

00:29:34.840 lead an affinity group for LGBTQIA plus students at my school a while back. The first meeting is this

00:29:40.000 afternoon and I'm going to be coming out to a bunch of high schoolers as by an NB. The hell is NB? 1.00

00:29:48.460 Oh, N, like N, non-binary NB. Okay. I'm a bit nervous. Good vibes slash encouragement are needed and 1.00

00:29:55.880 welcome. And then there's another follow-up that libs of Tik TOK has. This is from last year,

00:30:03.480 March of last year, uh, where he's wearing a dress. His first ever dress feels very teachery.

00:30:08.320 Please be kind. And then he identifies himself as a Demi boy again. And if you're wondering what a

00:30:14.400 Demi boy is, I had to Google that. And it says, um, an identity that describes someone who identifies

00:30:21.540 with both male and a gender genders. What the hell is a gender? Okay. Now you got to look that up. It's 0.76

00:30:29.760 just like, once you start peeling back these onions, you, you know, you, you, you immediately

00:30:34.540 regret it. But so a gender is an identity that describes somebody without gender or who does

00:30:42.380 not relate to either binary, to either binary gender. Okay. So, uh, a Demi boy quote unquote is

00:30:53.240 someone who identifies as having a gender and also not having one at the same time,

00:30:58.580 which just does, that doesn't mean anything at all. You know what it means? Here's what all that

00:31:06.400 means. Cause that's total nonsense. Okay. Absolute nonsense. What it actually means for this creep

00:31:13.140 is that he has a fetish for wearing women's underwear around kids. And this is the label

00:31:23.080 that he puts on it to make it sound, you know, like something we have to affirm and include and

00:31:28.260 accept. That's what that really means in his case. Um, so this is a, this is a teacher announcing

00:31:39.040 that it feels good wearing women's underwear, wearing panties to school that he's going to,

00:31:47.420 he's going to come out to his students. Like if we were to do a poll, you know, we take this,

00:31:55.880 show this to every parent in the country with kids in public school, um, and pull all of them.

00:32:04.220 What percentage do you think would say that? Yeah, they, this is the kind of thing they want

00:32:10.340 their teachers doing. Well, like what percentage of those parents would be excited about the idea

00:32:14.320 of a, of a male teacher in his panties who wears them cause he says it makes them feel good

00:32:19.660 and sitting down and coming out and to his, to his students and having a sexual conversation.

00:32:24.460 Like what percentage, if we were to poll every single public school parent, what percentage would

00:32:29.060 say, Oh yeah, that's great. That's like, that's exactly what I I'm hoping is happening at this

00:32:33.820 school. This is why I send my kids to school. Would we get up to like 0.1%? Would we even make

00:32:41.360 it that high? I really don't think we would, which is why it's so important to keep, as we talked about,

00:32:50.240 turn on all the lights. And when you turn on the lights, you're going to see a lot of things you

00:32:53.420 don't want to see, but we have to see them because here's the other thing that we have to keep. We have

00:32:58.760 to remember here is that, um, if we don't, if we don't see it, you know, if we allow these things

00:33:04.800 to happen in darkness, our kids are still being subjected to it. Uh, one other thing from lives

00:33:11.440 at TikTok, another contribution, not from lives at TikTok, but, but at least something that's, uh,

00:33:15.220 she is revealing to us, uh, staying on the subject of, uh, of teacher creeps, creepchers,

00:33:19.680 as maybe I will start calling them. Here's a trans preschool creepcher, uh, talking about 1.00

00:33:26.040 her, I think this is a female, experiences, you know, talking to her kids. Let's watch this. 1.00

00:33:33.000 So today was full of little happy gender euphoria moments. I got called Mr. Micah a lot today.

00:33:40.480 Well, completely femme. And that was really heartwarming that the kids just got it. 0.52

00:33:47.000 But my favorite reaction, and it sums me up so well, I feel like, is, uh, I was in a new classroom

00:33:54.980 and I took off my mask to blow my nose and I just hear a kid loudly whisper, oh, she's 0.97

00:34:01.900 a boy. And I was like, yeah, you got it, kid. You totally got it.

00:34:08.800 Uh, gender euphoria moments is what we're being told there. This is gender euphoria.

00:34:15.960 And if you're wondering about that, um, I'm not gonna start Googling, Googling that, but I,

00:34:21.780 I think we can just kind of connect the dots there. Context clues. So gender dysphoria is when 1.00

00:34:27.620 you feel like out of place in your gender or whatever. And, uh, gender euphoria is when you

00:34:33.000 have feelings of elation and pleasure in, uh, in having your gender affirmed. So these are teachers

00:34:40.240 that are looking for euphoria. She, I think is looking for her students who are like three and

00:34:50.960 four years old to provide her moments of euphoria, depending on three and four year olds to affirm

00:34:56.980 her. Again, going back to the poll, how many parents have sent their kids to preschool? Like

00:35:03.840 that's what they want. You're sending your kid to preschool so that your child will be a source 0.99

00:35:08.920 of affirmation and euphoria for the teacher. Very few, I imagine. All right, moving to this.

00:35:16.820 Whoopi Goldberg is shedding some, some light, adding some insights to the Nancy Pelosi communion

00:35:23.180 situation in San Francisco. Let's listen to that. Welcome to the view, y'all. The abortion rights 0.92

00:35:30.160 battle is starting to blur the lines between church and state. The Archbishop of San Francisco

00:35:36.360 is calling for Speaker Nancy Pelosi to be denied receiving communion because of her pro-choice

00:35:43.740 stance. He's one of the priests who also called for President Biden to be denied sacrament.

00:35:48.580 This is not your job, dude. That is not, you can't, that is not up to you to make that decision.

00:35:53.920 You know, what is the saying? It's kind of amazing. But, you know, what is the point of communion,

00:36:04.100 right? It's for sinners. It's the, for the, for sinners. It's the reward of saints,

00:36:10.700 but the bread of sinners. How dare you?

00:36:13.120 It's not your job, dude. No, Whoopi, that is literally his job. It's actually what, what

00:36:22.780 he is supposed to do as the Archbishop. Okay, now, and I, does, does Whoopi Goldberg identify

00:36:30.980 herself as Catholic? I'm not actually sure about that. Whether she identifies herself that

00:36:35.680 way or not, as is so often the case these days on the left with self-identification, it's,

00:36:39.720 it's false. It doesn't mean anything because she clearly, whether she's Catholic or not,

00:36:45.660 does not understand the basic hierarchical structure of the, of, of the church. And by

00:36:52.220 the way, there is no mixing of church and state here at all. Okay. In fact, if, if the Archbishop

00:36:59.240 had declined to enforce the rules for Nancy Pelosi, because she's a high-ranking government

00:37:05.540 official, that would be church and state, um, interfering, or rather it's the state, that

00:37:14.360 would be the, the state sort of imposing itself, exercising influence in a way that it should

00:37:19.060 not, which by the way, going back to the, to the phrase separation of church and state

00:37:24.380 from Thomas Jefferson, which is not something that actually appears in the constitution at

00:37:28.380 all, but that's what he was referring to, to the Danbury Baptist. That's what he was worried

00:37:32.940 about. He wasn't worried about the church interfering with the state. He was worried

00:37:35.500 about the state interfering with the church. And so that's where you find a, as the left

00:37:43.360 might use the phrase problematic, that's where things get problematic is if the rules are not

00:37:49.700 being enforced by people in positions of authority because somebody is a, is a government official

00:37:56.040 or is a high-ranking person, which is the case in, in, unfortunately, in most dioceses across

00:38:01.680 the country. These politicians are allowed to, uh, to flout these rules, including in, in Washington,

00:38:10.120 D.C., where people like Nancy Pelosi go to mass and they, they especially like to go to mass

00:38:16.580 there because it's going to be public and they're going to be on camera and everyone's going to see

00:38:19.220 them going in like good little Catholics. Uh, but they go up and, and, uh, receive communion and it's 0.91

00:38:24.500 not enforced there by the bishop in that case. That is the state exercising influence.

00:38:33.920 That's where you find the intrusion, not the other way around. Um, all right, one other thing I

00:38:41.220 wanted to read. Let me see if I can find it somewhere around here. Okay. From the Daily Wire,

00:38:45.620 a Texas toddler stole his mother's unlocked phone to play with it and she thought nothing of it until

00:38:51.860 the DoorDash delivery driver showed up at her home with 31 McDonald's cheeseburgers. Kelsey Golden

00:38:57.080 shared a photo of her two-year-old son Barrett along with his ill-gotten gains and advertised free

00:39:02.480 cheeseburgers. Um, she says he likes to look at his reflection, noting that when he's taken her phone

00:39:09.220 before, he's used the camera to look at himself rather than trying to find games to play or videos to

00:39:13.460 watch, but he didn't appear to be using the camera this time. Instead, Golden said that he started

00:39:16.960 pressing the screen and then he accidentally ordered DoorDash for himself with 31 cheeseburgers and she

00:39:22.400 didn't realize that he'd ordered DoorDash until, uh, the DoorDash driver showed up with 31 cheeseburgers

00:39:27.540 and then she was on CNN talking about it and the story, it's like one of those, you know, human interest

00:39:31.340 stories and there's a nice little whimsical, uh, heartwarming tale about a, about a precocious

00:39:37.200 youngster who does this and she's on CNN talking about it. And man, I hate to be this guy. You know,

00:39:45.760 I do, but I don't really hate to be this guy. Actually, I kind of enjoy being this guy. I have

00:39:50.440 to admit that I'm not really buying the story. I I'm just not now. I'm not saying that this is

00:39:56.660 Jussie Smollett. Okay. I'm not saying that she's the Jussie Smollett of DoorDash. It's not like she

00:40:02.300 claimed that the toddler shouted, this is Burger King country or something, but I'm not totally buying

00:40:06.840 the story of the kid. The kid takes the phone and then is messing with it two years old and orders

00:40:13.140 31 cheeseburgers. And then she doesn't know about it until the door, until like the cheeseburger

00:40:20.040 show up on her front door. So there's a lot of things here. Like, first of all, you, nobody would

00:40:26.220 give an unlocked phone to a two-year-old. Okay. You don't do that. And even if you do, what are the

00:40:31.820 chances that the toddler is going to hit all the right buttons? Because there's a multiple

00:40:36.480 succession of buttons the toddler would have to hit accidentally to get, you know, first you got

00:40:40.560 to scroll, you know, swipe over, get to the DoorDash thing, click on that, go to Burger King,

00:40:45.240 click on that, click accidentally on cheeseburgers. And then to get to 31, you'd have to like,

00:40:49.800 there's a little plus sign. You have to hit that 31 times to get to the 31. And then you go through

00:40:55.740 the checkout. And he did all this accidentally. And then she didn't know about it, even though

00:41:02.300 she would get the alert on her phone and it would tell her that 31 cheeseburgers have been ordered.

00:41:10.320 I'm just not buying it. You know, I'm not. I think there's something else going on here,

00:41:16.020 which is probably just a half made up story for attention. So maybe it doesn't matter that much.

00:41:20.620 But you know what? The truth always matters, even when it comes to cheeseburger orders.

00:41:26.200 All right, let's get to our comment section.

00:41:29.280 Do you know their name? They're the sweet baby gang.

00:41:39.680 Das Boot Auto, I think that's what we're going with, says, I heard the knife by the guy that

00:41:46.980 attacked Chappelle, was in a backpack and he wasn't wielding it. Hence the misdemeanor. Details are

00:41:52.680 important. It may have been in his backpack, but that still should not be a misdemeanor. Okay.

00:42:00.520 He snuck, he was, he snuck the weapon in to this event where you're not supposed to have knives.

00:42:07.400 And then he ran on stage and violently assaulted somebody on stage in front of everybody.

00:42:15.820 And he had a weapon on him. Like, why did he bring the weapon? Was it just, was he, was he cutting

00:42:19.880 apples or something? Why else did he have it? We can assume that he intended to use it. I mean,

00:42:25.800 if somebody sneaks a weapon into a public event and then violently attack someone, we can assume

00:42:32.880 that the weapon was related to this plan to violently attack somebody. And even without

00:42:38.880 the weapon, it still should be a felony. Obviously. Unless you want to encourage more of this stuff,

00:42:47.280 which, which of course they do. Deplorable Neanderthal says, you give Alfred Kinsey too 0.99

00:42:54.220 much credit, Matt. This stuff comes from Satan. Alfred was just one willing yet influential pawn. 0.58

00:42:58.680 And yeah, I couldn't agree with you more there. Mike says, Matt, you've raved about the Nashville

00:43:03.920 zoo so much. I finally went on Saturday. Have to say great recommendation. We loved it. Well,

00:43:08.420 I'm glad, you know, we're big Nashville zoo fans. We were on, we were there on Saturday also. So maybe

00:43:13.560 you saw us. Actually, we were at the zoo on Saturday and, and maybe tell me if this is a thing. Cause I

00:43:21.840 was a little bit excited by this. We went to the zoo and we're walking around. And then my wife said that

00:43:26.360 apparently they've got this new exhibit at the zoo where you can go, they have this little theater

00:43:29.820 thing and you can go and it's a 3d move, like little 20 minute 3d movie that you can say they

00:43:34.740 give you 3d glasses. And she said, Oh, we got to go watch the 3d thing. It's like a 20 minute

00:43:38.900 with the characters from ice age. And of course I'm thinking, well, we have a 3d exhibit around us.

00:43:46.200 It's called the zoo and everything here is 3d. So why do we need to, but you want to do that. So we did 1.00

00:43:50.500 and they give you the 3d glasses. And it's been a while since I've watched a 3d thing. You know,

00:43:54.780 I don't usually go for the 3d movies, like any movie that would be in 3d in the theaters is

00:43:58.920 almost always the kind of movie I would hate, which maybe doesn't surprise you. But I sat there

00:44:03.140 and I tried to watch it and I'm just in, but I put the 3d glasses on and they're not big enough to

00:44:07.340 put over my prescription glasses. I have to take my prescriptions off, put the 3d glasses on

00:44:10.760 and I can't experience the 3d ice age thing because it's all blurry because of my visual impairment.

00:44:18.680 And that's what I realized. This is a, this is an accessibility problem. They have not made,

00:44:24.180 and this is the case, like for all these 3d films, they have not made it accessible

00:44:28.060 for visually impaired people. This is ableism. I'm a victim. Finally. 1.00

00:44:34.320 I'm always looking, as you know, as a, as a white male, I don't have any victim points.

00:44:38.800 I'm looking to find them wherever I can. I think this is a legit area. I could sue

00:44:41.880 the zoo and probably bankrupt them because it's your responsibility as a visually impaired American. 1.00

00:44:46.780 I expect you should have prescription 3d glasses for every possible prescription available

00:44:52.340 in limitless supply. And if you don't, you've excluded me as a visually impaired, as a member

00:45:00.320 of the visually impaired community. Um, so I get at least one victim point from that. I think we can 1.00

00:45:07.040 agree. Uh, let's see. Skill mayor says, Matt, I came home to my wife, leaving a gift on my pillow

00:45:13.420 the other day. I looked inside the bag and it was a sweet baby gang shirt. I broke down with tears of

00:45:17.480 joy that my wife understands me so well. Is this form of crying acceptable or am I banned from the

00:45:21.960 show? Uh, that is obviously, we're going to add that there's seven acceptable reasons for a man to

00:45:30.480 cry. That'll be number eight. So you just, you snuck in by the skin of your teeth. Um, and Amanda 1.00

00:45:38.240 says, our daughter started showing signs of puberty before her second birthday because there's

00:45:41.960 something wrong with the way her body's developing due to a traumatic brain injury as an infant.

00:45:45.140 It's disgusting that people try to equate the difficulties of our lives that are dominated

00:45:48.400 with specialist therapies, special equipment, and fighting with insurance companies to purposefully

00:45:52.860 stunting typically developing children. It's not even close to the same thing. We will be disgusted by

00:45:57.320 a parent insisting their healthy child be put through chemotherapy for no reason. This is no

00:46:02.220 different. And a lot of comments from parents in similar situations with, with kids that have

00:46:07.400 precocious puberty. And that is an actual medical condition where the drugs that we call puberty

00:46:12.440 blockers might be used for medical reasons. But as we heard from the person in the daily cancellation

00:46:18.040 yesterday, trying to equate the two things, well, if you use puberty blockers for that, then clearly

00:46:23.380 using them for gender confused people is, it's the same thing. No, but it's like every drug on the 0.93

00:46:30.040 market has a specific purpose, every prescription drug anyway. And there are prescription drugs that

00:46:38.840 have that, you know, there are so many of them that there are certain ones that I would say probably

00:46:43.120 nobody should be using, but they all have a specific purpose in theory anyway. And just because they

00:46:49.120 exist doesn't mean that any purpose you come up with for it is, is legitimate, obviously.

00:46:55.140 And one of the, I think I mentioned it yesterday, one of the, one of the reasons why with precocious

00:47:02.480 puberty, you might use quote unquote puberty blockers in a legitimate medical context is because

00:47:07.880 it actually can lead to stunted growth. Because, you know, this is the way our bodies are supposed

00:47:13.160 to work for kids' bodies. After puberty, your body kind of begins to stop growing. And so if you go

00:47:20.760 through puberty when you're seven years old, then your body's going to stop growing at the end of

00:47:25.100 that, and you're going to end up, you know, with stunted growth at the end of it. And so that's a

00:47:31.820 physical consequence of this condition. And it's something that puberty blockers might help with.

00:47:42.780 But if you're giving it to a kid who does not have any physical condition whatsoever,

00:47:46.620 rather than preventing stunted growth, you're actually going to cause it. And that's what

00:47:51.780 often happens when you use drugs in ways that they're not supposed to be used.

00:47:55.140 But as you know, by now, the event of the summer, Backstage Live at the Ryman is back on June 29th

00:48:00.100 at the historic Ryman Auditorium in Nashville, Tennessee. And due to historic demand, we've

00:48:29.640 it might be time to cut that off.

00:48:31.680 I'm actually pretty excited to meet all of them. I love everybody's opinion individually.

00:48:35.300 I don't have a favorite. I like them all.

00:48:36.920 I had found out a way to make football players cry in high school. My high school experience would be

00:48:41.840 laughing. I'm just excited to be here and be surrounded by like-minded people and to just,

00:48:47.700 you know, feel that energy.

00:48:49.000 Who should we remove from office? One politician. The most powerful politician in the country.

00:48:53.720 Dr. Fauci.

00:48:54.860 Dr. Jeff, what are you talking about?

00:48:56.520 We're doing culture here. I'm so thrilled to see this happening.

00:48:59.240 If they say to half of the country, you can't, that half of the country needs to say, 0.96

00:49:20.720 cancellation.

00:49:25.140 I don't follow baseball because I typically prefer to watch sports instead, but there's a baseball

00:49:30.620 controversy which demands the attention of the daily cancellation. We'll begin at the end here with

00:49:35.260 New York Yankees third baseman Josh Donaldson getting suspended by the MLB and fined for making

00:49:40.320 an inappropriate comment to Chicago White Sox player Tim Anderson. Donaldson is white. Anderson

00:49:45.760 is black. And this already tells you, of course, that the inappropriate comment did not need to

00:49:49.780 actually be inappropriate at all in order to provoke a punishment. And in this case, you'll be shocked

00:49:54.100 to discover just how not inappropriate the comment in fact was. It was a wholly appropriate comment,

00:50:00.480 actually, and yet he's punished for it. But the media has taken this the other way, declaring that

00:50:04.400 the comment was not only inappropriate, but you guessed it, racist. Bleacher Report states as

00:50:09.340 much in their headline, they say, Yankees Josh Donaldson suspended for making racist comment to

00:50:15.020 Tim Anderson. And Deadspin, never one to let a race hustle go to waste, declares, just say it.

00:50:21.000 Josh Donaldson made a racist comment to Tim Anderson. Sports Illustrated tells us that Josh Donaldson is

00:50:26.500 embroiled in a racism controversy. Meanwhile, other people in the league, including the White Sox manager,

00:50:31.280 have also accused Donaldson of racism. So there's consensus agreement, it would seem,

00:50:36.700 that Josh Donaldson is a raging bigot who hurled an outrageous racist slur at Tim Anderson.

00:50:44.060 And in case you're wondering what the slur was, it was, of course, the J word. Yes, the J word, 0.68

00:50:50.500 the dreaded J word, that being Jackie. He called Anderson Jackie, as in Jackie Robinson,

00:50:56.620 and that's why he's suspended. But why is it inappropriate, much less racist, to compare a

00:51:03.040 baseball player to Jackie Robinson? Isn't that like someone being offended as an artist if you

00:51:07.120 compare them to Michelangelo? If you go up to an artist and say, hey, Michelangelo,

00:51:12.280 well, how dare you call me that slur? How does that make any sense? Well, maybe it'll help to hear 0.99

00:51:18.640 from Tim Anderson himself, the victim of this hurtful compliment. After the game, he was practically in

00:51:24.400 tears crying about how disrespected he feels. But why does he feel disrespected? Let's listen and

00:51:31.540 see if we find out. Yeah, he just made a disrespectful comment. Basically, he was trying to call me

00:51:38.420 Jackie Robinson. He was like, what's up, Jackie? I don't play like that. I don't really play at all.

00:51:45.500 You know, I wasn't, I wasn't really, you know, bothering nobody today. But, you know, he made a comment,

00:51:50.720 and, you know, it was, it was disrespectful. And, uh, I don't think it was callful.

00:51:54.640 That was when you guys crossed past the shortstop there, at the end of the third?

00:51:58.880 Yeah, but that happened in the first, the first time he got on, you know, and I spared him that time,

00:52:03.300 and then it happened again. And, you know, it was just, you know, it's just uncalled for. You know,

00:52:09.400 it's not, you know, I got time to, you know, be playing like that.

00:52:11.720 How'd you manage to contain yourself, you know, that kind of comment?

00:52:15.020 Uh, you know, uh, I don't know, to be honest. You know, I don't know, to be honest. Uh, you know,

00:52:21.820 it was very disrespectful, you know, but I don't want to play like that.

00:52:26.140 I mean, first of all, that, you got a lot of these athlete interviews,

00:52:29.200 because they know, like, three words, and they just, it was very disrespectful. I don't play like

00:52:33.060 that. It was uncalled for. And, you know, the thing is, it was uncalled for. And I don't play like

00:52:36.520 that. And it's disrespectful. It was just, it was just disrespectful. It's uncalled for.

00:52:41.720 You know what? I don't play like that. It was uncalled for. It's just over and over and over

00:52:47.500 again, repeating themselves. Um, but as you couldn't hear clearly, the reporter actually

00:52:51.880 asked Anderson how he managed to continue playing after experiencing something as devastating as

00:52:57.600 being called Jackie. The reporter asked him that and not sarcastically. How did you manage to

00:53:01.640 continue playing? Anderson doesn't know how he continued, but somehow against all odds,

00:53:06.080 he was able to compose himself, pick up the pieces and soldier on for a few more innings.

00:53:11.600 What a hero. As for why the comment was so hurtful or racist, we didn't get much of an

00:53:16.000 explanation from Anderson. All we got was him saying he doesn't play like that and whining

00:53:20.780 like a sissy because this is what professional athletes are and what they do these days. 0.86

00:53:24.640 I'm reminded of LeBron James. If you remember this, he called security on a couple of fans 0.96

00:53:29.040 in the front row because they said a mean word to him. Like he actually brought security over

00:53:32.340 and pointed at them. They said it. They were mean. Put them in timeout. Professional

00:53:37.600 athletes may have physical strength, but emotionally and psychologically, they're a bunch 0.93

00:53:40.800 of jellyfish. I mean, flimsy, weak invertebrates constantly whimpering about their feelings getting

00:53:46.500 hurt. In the case of Tim Anderson, we haven't even gotten to the most salient detail, which

00:53:50.760 is this. He called himself Jackie Robinson. It turns out that Donaldson's comment was not

00:53:58.480 a compliment. Okay. He was indeed teasing Anderson, but he was teasing him for comparing himself

00:54:03.780 to Jackie Robinson in an interview a few years ago. So it was a little bit of very light trash 0.93

00:54:09.000 talk and well-deserved because you shouldn't go around comparing yourself to Jackie Robinson.

00:54:14.880 Going back to the artist example, this is like if an artist labeled himself said, I'm the new

00:54:19.860 Michelangelo. Should he make that mistake, he would have to deal with people mockingly calling

00:54:25.360 him Michelangelo for the rest of his life. He brought it on himself. So how can Donaldson

00:54:30.280 be labeled racist, actually suspended and fined for calling Anderson something that he'd already

00:54:36.360 called himself? Well, over on ESPN, sports talking head Marcus Spears attempts to make sense of all

00:54:43.440 of this. I don't want to try to decipher between what Donaldson meant. I just want to give him

00:54:52.240 potentially why this would send the type of reaction from Tim Anderson that it would. It's because of the

00:55:00.980 times we're in. It's because of the things that have transpired over the years. It's because of how sports

00:55:06.860 have been involved in racial equality and taking things head on that comes along with the game. I'm not

00:55:14.580 going to cast any aspersions on Donaldson because I don't know him. I don't know his heart. I don't know what he

00:55:19.680 actually meant, but I know he talked about Tim Anderson referring to himself as Jackie Robinson.

00:55:26.880 We've had a long history of having to explain how black people can refer to themselves as opposed

00:55:34.100 to somebody of another race. That comes into question in this particular situation.

00:55:39.420 Oh, okay. Well, yeah, it's because of the times we're in. The times, you see. The times have spoken

00:55:45.680 all the times. The New York Times, Seattle Times, just like the general times, all have determined

00:55:51.180 that in these times, because of the times, due to the times, and given the times which we're in,

00:55:58.080 a member of a protected class is allowed to be a sensitive crybaby, wildly overreacting to even the

00:56:03.100 most meager slight, and white people must simply bow their head submissively and affirm whatever 0.98

00:56:07.640 the protected person is saying or feeling, no matter how ridiculous and unreasonable it may be. 0.98

00:56:11.700 Such are the times. Now, personally, though, I must confess that I don't much care about the times

00:56:18.060 that we're in or what time it is. I believe in one standard for everybody, a standard which is not

00:56:24.020 time-dependent. Marcus Spear says that there's a long history of black people having to explain that

00:56:30.480 just because they refer to themselves a certain way doesn't mean that somebody of another race can refer

00:56:34.760 to them the same way. And this rule now apparently applies to Jackie Robinson comparisons.

00:56:41.680 But this, like, I also wonder how far, so like, if a black guy says, oh, I'm six foot one,

00:56:47.900 am I allowed to go and say, well, you're six foot one? Am I allowed to say that? Am I allowed to make

00:56:52.960 any statements or observations at all? I think the answer is no. It's racist.

00:57:00.460 In fact, what we've learned is that if you're in a protected class, a privileged class, which is the

00:57:08.000 same thing, then no one is allowed to notice anything about you. But also, in not noticing

00:57:15.980 anything about you, they're erasing and otherizing you. So they're racist no matter what. That's how it

00:57:20.440 works out. But here's the other thing. This rule that Marcus Spear is talking about, this is not

00:57:26.460 something that's explained. He said, well, we've tried to explain. You explain something that's an

00:57:32.780 objective fact about reality, right? No, this is a privilege that certain members of protected classes

00:57:40.020 have attempted to claim for themselves. You're not explaining it. You're claiming it. But it's not a

00:57:46.140 privilege that anyone should have. The standard for everyone of every race, of every shade or color

00:57:52.060 of skin should be this. If you don't want people to use a certain word, don't use it yourself. If you

00:57:57.800 don't want to be called something, don't call yourself that thing or anyone else that thing.

00:58:02.120 If you want people to follow a rule, follow it yourself. Act as you want others to act. This is

00:58:08.140 the rule, the golden rule, in fact, which I did not make up, but which goes all the way back to Jesus

00:58:12.720 and Matthew's gospel. That's a rule, a standard, which rather than being dependent on the times,

00:58:17.460 is timeless. And here's another rule, which I think you can also, you can also find this in

00:58:24.260 the gospels, though not stated exactly as such, but it's this, man up. Stop trying to use your

00:58:30.360 crocodile tears and fake outrage to control people, Tim. Have some self-respect. Also, you're canceled.

00:58:39.280 And we'll leave it there for today. Thanks for watching. Thanks for listening. Have a great day.

00:58:42.420 Godspeed.
