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

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
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
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
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.
00:10:48.120
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
00:11:37.780
your name and other threats as well. If you become a victim of identity theft, they have a dedicated
00:11:41.580
U.S.-based restoration specialist that will work to fix it. Nobody can prevent all identity theft or monitor
00:11:46.440
all transactions at all businesses, but it's easy to help protect yourself with LifeLock. Identity theft

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
00:12:36.880
everybody, but it's propped up on stilts, which can easily be kicked and knocked over, which is
00:12:43.520
exactly what we should be doing. And that's why I'm a huge proponent of mocking gender ideology,
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
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.
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
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.
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
00:14:48.620
our toilets. Why shouldn't they use your toilets? For ladies. They are ladies. Look at their pronouns.
00:14:56.980
What about this person isn't a lady? Well, his penis.
00:15:12.660
What if he rapes me? What if she rapes you? You f***ing turf whore.
00:15:19.440
Now, the great thing is that, yeah, that's funny, but that is also exactly what the trans activists
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
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
00:15:54.060
say. That is 100% what they say. There's absolutely no strawmanning going on there at all.
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.
00:16:48.280
And so while we should deal with it on the serious level as well, we should also highlight just how
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.
00:17:39.340
And yes, we should be using it here to again highlight that this is ludicrous.
00:17:45.300
No, we're not going to take it seriously. Okay? The moment you start talking about women with
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
00:18:00.320
of view seriously. Okay? The moment you talk about men having babies, we're not going to dignify that by
00:18:09.540
pretending that there's anything credible in your claim whatsoever.
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,
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
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,
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
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
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.
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
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,
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
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
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
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
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
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
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,
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?
00:29:48.460
Oh, N, like N, non-binary NB. Okay. I'm a bit nervous. Good vibes slash encouragement are needed and
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
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
00:33:26.040
her, I think this is a female, experiences, you know, talking to her kids. Let's watch this.
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.
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
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
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
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
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,
00:36:13.120
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
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.
00:41:29.280
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
00:42:54.220
much credit, Matt. This stuff comes from Satan. Alfred was just one willing yet influential pawn.
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
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.
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.
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
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
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
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

dailywire.com slash Ryman. You're not going to want to miss this. Now let's get to our daily
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,
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
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.
00:53:24.640
I'm reminded of LeBron James. If you remember this, he called security on a couple of fans
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
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
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
00:56:07.640
the protected person is saying or feeling, no matter how ridiculous and unreasonable it may be.
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.
