The Matt Walsh Show - Ep. 984 - Dr. Jill Biden, PhD Reaches Out To The Taco Community

00:00:00.000 Today on The Matt Wall Show, Jill Biden reaches out to Hispanic voters by comparing them to tacos. 0.76

00:00:05.240 For some reason, it didn't go over well. Can't imagine why.

00:00:07.620 Plus, J.K. Rowling continues to experience backlash for committing the sin of speaking to me.

00:00:12.000 How dare she?

00:00:12.760 And the creator of Friends embarks on a global apology tour to atone for all of the unwoke sins her show committed all of those years ago.

00:00:19.500 Also, remember that story about Border Patrol agents whipping Haitian immigrants?

00:00:23.540 Well, a 500-page report now confirms what was obvious to anybody with eyes to begin with.

00:00:27.760 It never happened. It was all a lie.

00:00:29.140 In our daily cancellation, can a morbidly obese person still have thin privilege?

00:00:33.880 We'll find out today.

00:00:34.840 All of that and much more on The Matt Wall Show.

00:00:46.200 Do you want to know an easy way to adjust your spending and saving strategies?

00:00:50.380 Just call my friends over at American Financing, which is America's home for home loans.

00:00:54.880 There you can get a free, no-obligation financial review so you can understand new ways to get out of debt faster.

00:01:01.080 I mean it when I say there's no pressure, there's no upfront or hidden fees.

00:01:03.920 It may sound daunting making a call like this, and you think it's going to get complicated, you're going to get roped into all kinds of different things.

00:01:09.160 That's not the case. It's very simple. No pressure at all.

00:01:11.620 It'll just be a simple conversation about ways you can add hundreds back to your monthly budget, and that's something that these days we could all certainly use.

00:01:19.020 Maybe it'll be by consolidating debt, by adjusting your mortgage terms, or even accessing cash.

00:01:23.880 Whatever it is, believe me, these guys can help, and you don't need perfect credit to make it happen either.

00:01:28.400 They want to help as many families as possible.

00:01:30.980 It's one of the many reasons why I like these guys so much and appreciate them.

00:01:35.240 So why not take 10 minutes and learn more?

00:01:37.760 If you start soon, you could close in as fast as 10 days.

00:01:40.240 Just call 866-569-4711.

00:01:43.000 That's 866-569-4711.

00:01:45.980 Or visit AmericanFinancing.net, NMLS, 182-334, NMLS, ConsumerAccess.org.

00:01:52.380 Well, I could not have predicted that this would be the week when an organization would have to release a statement with the phrase,

00:02:00.500 we are not tacos, but then again, here we are, and I, for one, am loving every second of it.

00:02:06.420 This all begins with Dr. Jill Biden, Ph.D., making a stop in San Antonio to speak at a luncheon held by a far-left Hispanic advocacy group called Unitos U.S.

00:02:16.560 And more on that group in this luncheon in just a second.

00:02:19.200 But during her speech, Biden, somehow still the most coherent and eloquent Biden in the family, but the bar is very low,

00:02:27.280 wanted to show that both she and her husband are deeply in touch with the Hispanic community.

00:02:33.180 You know, they understand Latin culture and its people.

00:02:36.260 They especially love Latino people for the one or two minutes that they spend in the voting booth,

00:02:41.660 provided that, of course, they vote Democrat all the way down the ticket.

00:02:44.260 And that's the Hispanic tradition that I think they most value and cherish,

00:02:48.960 though it's a tradition that has been rapidly fading, thankfully.

00:02:52.320 The last few election cycles have made it abundantly clear that the Democrat Party is steadily losing its grip on the Latino vote.

00:03:00.920 As a recent Reuters headline put it, Hispanic voters are losing faith in Democrats.

00:03:05.380 And the article suggests that the swing in the Hispanic community towards the Republican Party is like a 10-point swing,

00:03:11.380 almost 10-point swing, eight or nine points just for Trump in 2020.

00:03:16.520 And they suggest this has a lot to do with the abysmal state of the economy right now.

00:03:20.780 And there's no doubt that that's at least part of the story.

00:03:23.960 It comes as news to Democrat politicians, but minority voters are actually human beings who have real practical concerns.

00:03:32.280 For instance, they want to be able to afford gas and food, and they don't want their children to starve to death.

00:03:39.600 So these are things that they're concerned about.

00:03:41.260 They also don't particularly want to be murdered by criminals that Democrat DAs let off the hook.

00:03:47.120 Now, admittedly, on this point, I haven't really checked the polling data.

00:03:50.100 In fact, I haven't checked the polling data on all of this, on any of it, but I can just assume that it's true.

00:03:54.740 And also this as well, I'm betting that a huge number of Hispanics and other minorities don't want to send their kids to school to learn about gender fluidity or to be subjected to drag queen strip teases. 0.80

00:04:08.960 These are all reasons why Hispanics may be increasingly looking for political options outside of the Democrat bubble.

00:04:16.660 And this is what drove, primarily, Dr. Jill Biden, Ph.D., to the Latino conference.

00:04:23.600 And it's what led to this glorious moment, which begins with Dr. Jill Biden, Ph.D., attempting to praise the work of the president of the organization, whose name is Raul.

00:04:35.060 That's his first name and his last name I won't even attempt to pronounce.

00:04:38.080 And that's when things go careening off the rails tremendously.

00:04:41.800 Watch this.

00:04:42.240 Raul helped build this organization with the understanding that the diversity of this community, as distinct as the Bogotá's of the Bronx, as beautiful as the blossoms of Miami, and as unique as the breakfast tacos here in San Antonio, is your strength.

00:05:09.580 Now, I realize that I am in no position to criticize anybody for mispronouncing words, but even I find myself flabbergasted by bodegas.

00:05:24.320 Now, she means, of course, bodega, but she pronounces it like somebody who would go to a Mexican restaurant and order a quesadilla and then try to impress her waitress by asking her to point in the direction of the albano.

00:05:36.320 And yet this was somehow not the most embarrassing part of Dr. Jill Biden, Ph.D.'s remarks.

00:05:44.560 She also, as has been much discussed in the hour since, tried to compliment Hispanic people by saying that they are as unique as breakfast tacos.

00:05:54.120 And from what I understand, you know, just what I've heard reports is that next week she'll be speaking to an Asian-American organization where she'll praise attendees for being as bold and vibrant as General Tso's chicken and as reliable as pork fried rice.

00:06:08.180 But this at least will not be as insulting as when she hails Italians for being as cheap as box spaghetti and says that the French are as soft and puffy as a freshly baked croissant.

00:06:18.240 Now, the question, though, is that the taco comment in particular, what was it actually racist or or, you know, really offensive?

00:06:27.040 And of course it wasn't. It's stupid and it's hilarious, embarrassing for her, but greatly enjoyable for the rest of us. 0.99

00:06:35.140 Not racist, though. Right. Yet I confess that I'm not eager to defend her from the racism charge any more than she would be presumably eager to defend me from such a charge. 1.00

00:06:44.920 So instead, I'll just sit back and enjoy the show as various left wing groups pretend to have been severely victimized by Dr.

00:06:53.260 Jill Biden, Ph.D.'s clumsy attempt at pandering to them. That's what brings us to, as mentioned at the top, the National Association of Hispanic Journalists, which released the following statement last night after this whole thing happened.

00:07:06.020 And they said, NAHJ encourages the first lady and her communications team to take time to better understand the complexities of our people and communities.

00:07:16.720 We are not tacos. Our heritage as Latinos is shaped by various diasporas, cultures and food traditions do not reduce us to stereotypes.

00:07:27.820 So this is there. They are, you know, standing up to tamp down the stereotype that Hispanic people are tacos because that's a stereotype that, you know, you've heard a stereotype before that Hispanics are just like they're just tacos, literally.

00:07:44.620 But they're not, turns out. And I'm glad we cleared that up.

00:07:47.800 But are they burritos? Are they chalupas? Are they a bowl of guacamole? Further clarification, I think, needs to be made here.

00:07:57.720 For her part, the first lady has now issued an apology for calling Hispanic people tacos.

00:08:04.100 Her spokesman tweeted this morning, quote, the first lady apologizes that her words conveyed anything but pure admiration and love for the Latino community.

00:08:12.020 He then added that the guilt and regret she feels burns inside her like a very spicy salsa.

00:08:18.620 And yet, amid all of this delicious taco controversy, I think the most truly offensive, like actually offensive and gratuitous aspect of this story has somehow been lost, as it so often is.

00:08:33.160 Because the actual name of the conference where she delivered these ill-fated remarks was, quote, this is what it was, the Latinx inclusion luncheon.

00:08:45.340 Now, inclusion is spelled with an X and therefore pronounced, I guess, inclusion.

00:08:52.960 Of course, the irony here is that if you actually add an X to inclusion, it becomes exclusion.

00:08:59.700 So it's, which actually there's, I think, something poetic about that.

00:09:05.120 It's no wonder the first lady, you know, felt that she could be demeaning and patronizing in her remarks. 0.90

00:09:10.040 She was speaking, after all, at the Latinx inclusion luncheon.

00:09:15.120 Obviously, she felt like she had some license here.

00:09:17.140 The left is holding her accountable for her taco-related stereotypes, and yet they haven't noticed that the whole event promoted right in its name the Western white liberal colonization of the Spanish language.

00:09:33.380 Now, I'm not Hispanic, but I can still say that I think I would rather be compared to a taco than have my language destroyed for the sake of appeasing LGBT militants. 0.87

00:09:45.580 And then again, the same thing is happening to the English language, so I suppose we're all in the same boat.

00:09:50.600 We have to understand, I think, getting away from the taco stuff for a moment.

00:09:56.120 We have to understand the reason why they're randomly dropping the letter X into words, where it doesn't, of course, make any sense, and where it, in fact, destroys the meaning of the word itself.

00:10:07.800 As we've talked about before, you know, when you do this, especially with the Spanish language, which is a heavily gendered language, and you try to make everything gender neutral, you're just, you're just obliterating the language.

00:10:17.980 You're creating a new language.

00:10:19.400 And so, what the left is saying to Spanish-speaking people is that, well, you shouldn't, your language is bad. 0.96

00:10:26.400 It's a, your language is transphobic and homophobic. 0.92

00:10:30.900 You need a new language, and we're going to give it to you. 0.97

00:10:33.300 Here it is.

00:10:34.700 Say these words instead.

00:10:36.620 Bark for me.

00:10:37.840 Bark like dogs at our command. 0.71

00:10:39.940 That's what they're saying to Hispanic people.

00:10:41.880 But the X thing in particular, it seems totally arbitrary, right?

00:10:47.580 Like, even if I, even if we agreed that we needed to make words more inclusive, which we don't, and which doesn't make any sense anyway.

00:10:54.980 I mean, words are, every word, every word by its nature needs to be exclusive in that it means a certain thing and doesn't mean other things.

00:11:02.720 Because if every word means everything, then no word means anything and we can't speak anymore.

00:11:07.220 But why, so, but even if we agreed that words need to be inclusive, like, why would the letter X accomplish that?

00:11:14.780 How does that work?

00:11:17.380 It, does the word inclusion itself need to be more inclusive?

00:11:22.100 And if it does, how do you accomplish that by just dropping the word X into, the letter X into it?

00:11:28.480 Seems totally arbitrary, and it is.

00:11:31.480 But this is what we have to understand.

00:11:33.040 The arbitrariness is the point.

00:11:35.500 This is what tyrants do.

00:11:36.840 They manipulate their subjects or simply command them to do arbitrary and meaningless things because they're arbitrary and meaningless.

00:11:46.760 It's like that scene in Cool Hand Luke when the jail warden makes Paul Newman's character dig a hole for no reason and then fill it back in and dig it again.

00:11:55.380 The idea was to, you know, break his will and his spirit, train him to be obedient and to follow orders.

00:12:01.760 It didn't work in Cool Hand Luke's case, but for many Americans, it has worked.

00:12:07.940 Now, the X thing in particular hasn't quite caught on yet.

00:12:11.680 The Hispanic community almost uniformly rejects it, but give it time.

00:12:16.520 I mean, the left has shown that this strategy works.

00:12:21.040 Make people do arbitrary things, dance through hoops for no reason, break their will, train them to be obedient.

00:12:28.820 As funny as the taco controversy is, I think this is the real agenda, what we should be talking about.

00:12:36.180 Now, let's get to our five headlines.

00:12:37.240 When did we decide to stop upholding free speech as a basic right?

00:12:48.360 Well, I didn't decide that, but that seems to have been decided in society.

00:12:51.740 What's playing out right now at big tech companies and social media sites sets a dangerous precedent.

00:12:56.380 Look, it doesn't matter what your politics are or who you voted for.

00:12:59.920 Everyone should have the right to express themselves freely.

00:13:02.080 Sadly, the big tech monopoly has instead opted for silencing tactics and censorship instead.

00:13:07.160 The fight back against big tech's control of the Internet, I use ExpressVPN.

00:13:11.500 We use ExpressVPN on your computer or your phone.

00:13:14.640 You make yourself anonymous, much of your online presence anonymous, by hiding your IP address.

00:13:20.000 Just call me Jill Biden.

00:13:21.340 That makes your activity more difficult to trace and sell to advertisers.

00:13:25.420 ExpressVPN encrypts 100% of your network data to protect you from eavesdroppers and cyber criminals as well.

00:13:31.180 What I like most is how easy it is to use.

00:13:33.160 It just takes one click to protect all of your devices.

00:13:36.140 That's why ExpressVPN is rated number one by Business Insider.

00:13:39.660 So let's stop allowing big tech to revoke our rights to free speech.

00:13:42.820 Why not revoke their right to your data instead?

00:13:45.220 Secure your Internet with the VPN I trust for online protection.

00:13:59.300 All right, we'll start here.

00:14:01.860 So the J.K. Rowling saga continues.

00:14:05.620 The story is, last I checked, is still trending on Twitter after like two or three days.

00:14:10.180 They still can't quite get enough of this.

00:14:12.460 Just to back up and review here, because it's changed a little bit, right?

00:14:16.260 So I mentioned yesterday how J.K. Rowling criticized me for my critique of Macy Gray,

00:14:24.020 who's the pop singer, who went on Piers Morgan last week, early last week, and made the very

00:14:28.800 controversial statement that women exist and are female, and they have babies, and they have breasts,

00:14:34.080 and that's how she defined them.

00:14:35.780 And then she lasted about two or three days until she went crawling to do the pilgrimage to

00:14:42.200 morning network TV, where she apologized and said, well, actually, women don't exist. 1.00

00:14:46.500 It's just a vibe and everything else. 0.98

00:14:48.380 I criticized Macy Gray, said that she's a coward, because she is. 0.99

00:14:52.940 And then J.K. Rowling criticized me for attacking women, and she said that I can't possibly know

00:14:58.080 what it's like to be a woman standing up against the trans mob.

00:15:01.260 Not her words exactly, but I can't know what it's like to be a woman, because I don't have

00:15:05.120 to deal with all of that.

00:15:06.880 Well, yesterday, when we talked about this, I didn't go through the whole exchange that I

00:15:11.140 had with J.K. Rowling.

00:15:12.320 It was more than just the one tweet back and forth.

00:15:15.240 I responded to Rowling's tweet to me by telling her that, well, actually, I have experienced

00:15:21.600 death threats, everything else, from the trans mob for years now, but especially because 1.00

00:15:30.180 of my film.

00:15:31.480 And she responded to me after that, saying that my film, referring to what is a woman,

00:15:37.260 here's her exact words.

00:15:38.500 She said, it did a good job of exposing the incoherence of gender ideology. 0.97

00:15:42.860 That's all she said, right?

00:15:44.720 And that was it.

00:15:46.240 That was the end of our exchange.

00:15:48.580 And because of that, even though, again, the only reason initially that J.K. Rowling said

00:15:54.700 anything to me at all or about me was to criticize me, because she had that one sentence acknowledging

00:16:02.600 the film and saying that it did a good job of exposing the incoherence of gender ideology,

00:16:06.380 because of that, that's why this story has continued to trend.

00:16:09.080 And there have been many headlines just like this from Pink News.

00:16:14.260 J.K.

00:16:14.640 Rowling criticized for praising dangerous anti-trans film by far-right bigot Matt Walsh.

00:16:20.960 And then this from The Advocate, it says, J.K.

00:16:24.720 Rowling and Matt Walsh bond over transphobia.

00:16:28.220 Get blasted online.

00:16:30.280 And the Daily Dot says, J.K.

00:16:31.460 Rowling endorses transphobic documentary by alt-right commentator Matt Walsh.

00:16:36.740 So I'm an alt-right commentator now.

00:16:38.720 I didn't know.

00:16:39.220 I always learn new things about myself anytime my name appears in headlines.

00:16:42.660 Here's a bit of the Pink News article.

00:16:44.220 The Daily Wire film features Walsh asking, what is a woman to a variety of people, including a pediatrician, a surgeon who specializes in gender reaffirming surgery, and controversial psychologist Jordan Peterson.

00:16:54.560 The film has been called transphobic by Rolling Stone and dangerous by LGBTQ nation.

00:16:59.640 Well, if it's called that by LGBTQ nation, you know it's true. 1.00

00:17:03.400 We know we can trust LGBTQ nation.

00:17:05.780 Rolling Stone, never mind the fact that as we established, yes, they did call it transphobic.

00:17:10.660 And I think they also called it dangerous, but as we established, none of the people involved in writing this article, this hit piece on what is a woman for Rolling Stone, had actually watched the film.

00:17:21.000 The editor made it through 11%, and the writer of the article didn't watch any of it whatsoever.

00:17:26.840 But never mind that.

00:17:28.460 Pink News says, it provides ammunition for those who seek to deprive transgender people of access to affirming and life-saving health care.

00:17:37.220 Walsh, the author of Johnny the Walrus, a notorious anti-trans children's book, has become known for describing himself as a theocratic fascist, a label that has been directed at him previously by his critics.

00:17:48.520 In a blog post explaining his use of the label, which he uses in his Twitter bio, Walsh claims that it could be an obviously sarcastic joke, or it could be a completely literal and sincere statement without the slightest hint of irony or sarcasm.

00:18:01.600 It is definitely the latter, can I just say? Could be one of the two, but I am, I think I've been very clear about this for years now, that I'm a theocratic fascist.

00:18:09.480 I have plans to take over, not just this country, but the hemisphere, and put you all underneath my tyrannical boot heel as my servants and slaves. 0.92

00:18:21.780 That's, that's my plan. I think I've been very open about this.

00:18:25.720 And yet, again, all Rowling did was acknowledge the film in the context of criticizing me, and this is a story to the left.

00:18:36.120 They can't handle it, they can't deal with it.

00:18:39.360 Because they believe that they have the right, well, there are a few reasons for this, a few reasons why this becomes a story they talk about for three days.

00:18:46.180 Because one of them is that they believe they have the right to control who J.K. Rowling speaks to.

00:18:55.400 Like, what they're saying to us, you're not allowed to talk to him, even to criticize him, can't talk to him, can't talk to that guy.

00:19:03.160 They can control who she speaks to and who she speaks about.

00:19:07.360 Why do they think they have that right? Well, they think they have that right with everybody, but especially because she is a woman. 1.00

00:19:12.460 You know, the left believes that it owns women, that women are its property, just like they believe this with racial minorities in this country. 0.72

00:19:22.680 And that is a unique challenge for women who stand against them. 0.98

00:19:31.000 That on top of getting all the normal anger and backlash, there's also this sense of, they're treated like traitors.

00:19:39.180 Like, there's this sense of betrayal. How dare you?

00:19:42.320 You're supposed to be on our side just because of your sex, even though sex doesn't exist. 0.87

00:19:47.080 But still, we determine based on that, that you belong to us.

00:19:50.160 And the fact that that is a unique challenge for women, that's something that I'm perfectly prepared to acknowledge.

00:19:58.860 In fact, I'm eager to acknowledge it. I've said it many times.

00:20:02.080 The problem, though, and this is what I'm running into with the feminists, even the feminists who are critical of the trans agenda, is that they can't leave it at that. 0.99

00:20:13.180 This is the case for J.K. Rowling herself as well.

00:20:16.460 Like, we could talk about if you're a woman and you stand up against the trans mob, there are, you're going to be treated in a certain way. 0.97

00:20:25.600 And there are going to be unique challenges that come with you being a woman standing up against these people.

00:20:30.660 That's fine. We could talk about that.

00:20:34.140 But the feminists, they can't leave it at that. 1.00

00:20:37.040 They want to go all the way to claiming that, as J.K. Rowling did herself, that men aren't criticized at all when we say our opinion.

00:20:46.480 We experience no backlash because we're men, which is just completely absurd.

00:20:53.200 And because they insist on this, then that's why, you know, everything kind of breaks down.

00:20:59.180 Any chance that we have for conservatives to sort of form this alliance with left-wing feminists, at least on the issue of transgenderism, any chance of that happening, in my experience especially, just completely breaks down.

00:21:14.860 Because they are beholden to this victimology, this victim hierarchy, and they can't get past it.

00:21:23.200 They can't see past it.

00:21:23.980 And the thing is, no matter who you are, if you take a stand against the orthodoxies of the day, there are going to be unique challenges for you.

00:21:35.640 Whatever your position is, whoever you are, whatever your identity is, you're going to have to deal with certain things, and some of that's going to be unique to you in your particular station in life.

00:21:46.120 Nobody is exempt from that.

00:21:47.780 And so the position, and if we want to break it down male and female, the position women are in is that, again, the left thinks that if you're a woman, well, they own you. 1.00

00:21:57.700 They have ownership of you, even though you belong to a category that doesn't exist according to them.

00:22:01.260 Still, they own you.

00:22:02.380 So if you say anything, then you're a traitor. 0.50

00:22:05.160 If you're a man, on the other hand, then you're already, you're a villain. 1.00

00:22:08.980 You're worthless. 0.95

00:22:09.800 So there's the people that they think they own, and there's people that have been cast as the villain. 0.94

00:22:17.440 Which category is it better to be in?

00:22:19.560 Which category is treated better?

00:22:21.120 I don't think either category is treated well. 0.99

00:22:24.420 Just you're treated like worthless scum in slightly different ways. 0.99

00:22:29.600 I don't know why we can't simply all agree with that. 0.99

00:22:33.260 Moving on to this, Marta Kaufman, who's the creator of the, what I think next to Seinfeld may be, at least is the second most overrated sitcom of all time, Friends.

00:22:43.800 She's been on an apology tour recently, and I'm not exactly sure why she's been doing this now in particular.

00:22:49.540 I don't know.

00:22:49.800 I guess she has something she's promoting.

00:22:51.140 She's got another show coming out.

00:22:52.300 I don't know that exactly.

00:22:53.180 But I can only assume that she's got something else she's working on, and so she wants to set things right with the woke brigade. 0.99

00:23:00.400 So she's been going around trying to right all of the unwoke wrongs that her series committed somehow back in the 90s.

00:23:08.840 Now, I was never, as noted, never a big fan of Friends.

00:23:11.720 I've seen a few of the episodes.

00:23:13.160 It always struck me, even in the 90s, as pretty politically correct.

00:23:18.920 It never would have occurred to me that there's anything offensive to the left in Friends, but apparently there is.

00:23:24.260 There's quite a lot.

00:23:25.140 So for the last few weeks, she's been going around apologizing for all of the various groups that were hurt by Friends somehow in an effort to become an ally now.

00:23:35.460 So we'll start with this.

00:23:36.540 She appeared on Talk TV.

00:23:39.060 This was at the end of June, a couple weeks ago, to talk about the racism on her show.

00:23:44.400 I had no idea there was racism, but there was, as she confesses here.

00:23:48.360 But she's going to set things right.

00:23:50.480 And listen to this.

00:23:51.620 It took me a long time to begin to understand how I internalized systemic racism.

00:24:04.800 And I've been working really, really hard to become an ally, anti-racist.

00:24:12.680 And this seemed to me to be a way that I could participate in the conversation from a white woman's perspective.

00:24:24.660 I hope it becomes the leading AAAS department in the country.

00:24:33.420 I hope that this department gets everything it needs financially and can continue to engage students.

00:24:45.100 And I hope it widens.

00:24:47.640 Okay, so one thing she's been doing for the last, I don't know exactly everything she's been up to since Friends went off the air, but it's very clear that she's been studying wokeness.

00:24:59.620 And she's been studying it closely because she knows, she speaks the language now.

00:25:05.300 She had it all down, you know, do the work, participate in the conversation, all this kind of stuff.

00:25:11.960 It's still not clear to me.

00:25:12.880 So what exactly was racist about Friends?

00:25:15.020 It's not clear.

00:25:16.020 I guess it's because there weren't enough black actors on the show.

00:25:20.200 And so it erased, apparently, at least I've learned, I can assume this is what she's talking about, because this is what I've seen from other left people on social media, that Friends erased black people by not having enough of them on the sitcom.

00:25:37.280 So I don't know if you are a black person, you might not even realize that you were erased by a sitcom in the 90s, but you were and you and if you don't feel harmed and damaged by that, you should this even according to the co creator of the show, she even says that.

00:25:52.260 So now she's pledging it's $4 million to support African and African American studies.

00:25:57.300 So she's trying to heal the racial wounds created by Friends because of that. 1.00

00:26:03.180 But it's not just racial wounds.

00:26:05.720 Look, anytime there's an occasion where someone is a victim, we know that the trans club, they're going to find their way in to that conversation.

00:26:15.720 Nobody in this country is allowed to be a victim by themselves without including trans people. 1.00

00:26:23.480 Trans people are also victims. 0.98

00:26:25.040 If you think you're a victim, there's always going to be the trans club coming right behind to say, no, me too. 0.79

00:26:31.200 Oh, yeah, I'm also a victim of this.

00:26:33.560 So she appeared on BBC last night in an interview to confess to various pronoun related atrocities. 0.83

00:26:42.700 Let's listen to that.

00:26:43.480 Criticism is it's difficult.

00:26:48.580 I mean, Friends has been criticized in a number of ways.

00:26:52.800 The biggest one being that we did not have enough representation of black people.

00:26:57.480 And over the course of the last few years, I have gotten to the point where I can say, unfortunately, yes, I'm guilty of that.

00:27:07.300 I am guilty of that.

00:27:09.000 And I'll never make that mistake again.

00:27:11.120 I was clearly part of systemic racism in our business. 0.99

00:27:17.820 I was unaware of that, which makes me feel stupid. 0.97

00:27:20.540 So, yeah, that was a very valid, extremely difficult criticism, which still I get emotional about. 0.93

00:27:33.340 If I knew then what I know now, there are certain things I would have changed.

00:27:38.640 But I didn't know them, and I have since learned.

00:27:42.340 Here's one.

00:27:43.060 We kept referring to her as Chandler's father, even though Chandler's father was trans.

00:27:54.160 Pronouns were not yet something that I understood.

00:27:58.080 So, we didn't refer to that character as she.

00:28:04.200 Oh, she's getting emotional. 0.94

00:28:07.440 She's getting choked up.

00:28:09.700 She's still, 20 years later, she's still crying about the fact she's distraught because there weren't enough black actors and friends.

00:28:16.960 And also because she misgendered, who is it, Chandler's trans dad?

00:28:23.880 Is that what it was?

00:28:25.360 So, that's why you would think that the left would celebrate Friends for being ahead of its time.

00:28:32.740 I didn't even realize this until just now.

00:28:34.580 So, one of the characters on Friends had a cross-dressing or trans or whatever parent.

00:28:41.160 So, you'd think that the left would be celebrating it as it was ahead of its time in the 90s to have that kind of character.

00:28:48.760 But no, because even though it was ahead of its time, it still had not yet caught, because it existed in the past,

00:28:55.220 it wasn't aligned with what people are saying and doing in the year 2022,

00:29:00.220 which is just an unforgivable sin, and so atonement must be made.

00:29:06.900 And that's what she's doing now.

00:29:08.420 It's no surprise to see this, you know, especially from people in Hollywood.

00:29:12.040 In order to find success in Hollywood to begin with, you have to empty yourself.

00:29:16.180 Most of the time, you have to empty yourself of, you know, any real personality, any real convictions,

00:29:24.840 and you just become this empty shell of a human being.

00:29:28.340 And that's why she has no problem.

00:29:30.240 I mean, anyone else, I think, if you had, like, a spine and a soul,

00:29:35.180 you would at least be embarrassed to be doing this apology tour for a sitcom that you made 30 years ago.

00:29:43.420 But she has none of that.

00:29:44.440 There's no dignity, so there's nothing to worry about for her.

00:29:47.200 All right, so you remember that story about the Border Patrol whipping immigrants as they tried to cross the border.

00:29:55.800 This was several months ago.

00:29:58.460 That was the story, anyway, that there were immigrants.

00:30:01.400 I think there were refugees, Haitian immigrants, rather, trying to cross the border, southern border.

00:30:06.720 And they were being whipped by Border Patrol agents.

00:30:11.700 That was the story.

00:30:13.280 It was a story amplified, of course, by the media, amplified by Joe Biden.

00:30:18.120 The president himself went on TV and was talking about how, what a horrible atrocity this was.

00:30:24.960 And, of course, there were a lot of things about that story that, a lot of questions that were raised that we could have talked about, we should have talked about.

00:30:30.900 Like, for example, why are Haitian immigrants coming across the southern border?

00:30:36.200 Well, we didn't talk about that, though.

00:30:37.140 Instead, we talked about the fact that they were getting whipped.

00:30:38.580 But even though, you know, there were images at the time of this whipping, there were pictures and there were also, there was video as well.

00:30:48.140 And you could look at that, as we did on the show, and clearly see, oh, that didn't happen.

00:30:53.100 They were not being whipped at all.

00:30:54.860 Yes, some of the Border Patrol agents did have whips because they're on horseback.

00:30:59.240 But they were using them on the horses, not on the immigrants. 0.89

00:31:03.120 And you could clearly see that on video.

00:31:07.180 And nonetheless, the media ran with it.

00:31:09.920 Biden ran with it.

00:31:10.660 He just, he threw all of these agents completely under the bus.

00:31:14.680 And they declared that there was going to be a long investigation into this whipping that anyone with eyes could see never happened.

00:31:22.620 And so they did the investigation.

00:31:24.960 And a couple of days ago, they released a 511-page report, okay, the Customs and Border Protection Agency.

00:31:32.320 They've been investigating this for months.

00:31:34.440 They compiled a 500-page report about a whipping incident that there was already video evidence never happened.

00:31:43.920 And they determined that, indeed, it never happened.

00:31:48.080 That's what the report declared.

00:31:50.520 And yet, here's the headline.

00:31:53.900 Here's how the media is translating it.

00:31:56.040 I think this headline in NPR is representative.

00:31:58.540 It says, the agents on horseback who chased migrants used unnecessary force, a report finds.

00:32:05.860 That's how they are summarizing.

00:32:08.660 It says, U.S. Border Patrol agents on horseback engaged in unnecessary use of force against non-threatening Haitian immigrants,

00:32:14.640 but didn't whip any with their reins, intentionally or otherwise, according to a federal investigation of chaotic scenes along the Texas-Mexico border last fall that sparked widespread condemnation.

00:32:27.480 Again, the headline in the media, including on NPR and every other mainstream media outlet, was that they were whipping the immigrants.

00:32:32.840 And now we're being told that never happened.

00:32:36.980 Is there any retraction from any of these media outlets?

00:32:40.160 No, of course not.

00:32:41.740 Instead, we get the, well, we weren't exactly right, but we were basically right because they were still using force.

00:32:47.200 Well, what kind of force were they using?

00:32:49.000 Let's read on and try to find out because in, again, in the, in this, in the videos and in the photographs, I didn't see really any force being used.

00:32:57.840 Except in the case, except just in the sense that, that the Border Patrol agents are physical beings.

00:33:04.400 So anything they do involves physical exertion.

00:33:09.540 I mean, even speaking requires physical exertion.

00:33:12.720 So is that what they mean by physical force?

00:33:14.600 Well, maybe we'll find out.

00:33:16.360 In a 511-page report released Friday, Customs and Border Protection blamed a lack of command control and communication for mounted agents using their horses to forcibly block and move migrants during an influx of Haitians arriving last Saturday, rather, last September at the U.S. border outside Del Rio, Texas.

00:33:35.880 CBP Commissioner Chris Magnus said during a news conference, we're going to learn from this incident and we'll find a way to do better.

00:33:42.880 Not everyone's going to like all the findings, but the investigation was comprehensive and fair.

00:33:48.960 Video and photos of the incident made it appear agents were whipping Haitians.

00:33:52.540 Well, no, it didn't make that appear that way at all.

00:33:54.940 The headlines made it appear that way, but the video and the photographs did not make it appear that way.

00:34:00.880 Caused outrage among advocacy groups and civil rights leaders.

00:34:03.420 The Biden administration promised a full investigation after many in the president's own party objected that such tactics with racial overtones were the kinds of policies that the U.S. was supposed to be moving away from after years of hardline immigration tactics under President Donald Trump.

00:34:17.760 Yeah, I wish there were hardline immigration tactics under President Donald Trump.

00:34:21.860 One of my biggest problems with the Trump administration and his tenure is that we did not at all get the hardline tactics that we were promised.

00:34:30.520 But anyway, former police chief Magnus took over the nation's largest law enforcement agency, blah, blah, blah.

00:34:35.960 What I'm trying to get to is is what where exactly was the physical force?

00:34:39.240 I mean, that's in the headline that they used inappropriate force.

00:34:42.620 And then in the first sentence, they say it again.

00:34:44.820 But where exactly is the force?

00:34:46.840 Are they going to explain what they meant by that?

00:34:49.320 And as you go through the article, it doesn't appear anywhere.

00:34:52.440 So it would seem that by physical force, what they mean is that exactly what I said, actually, that these the Border Patrol agents were are physical beings and they were there like exerting themselves physically.

00:35:07.300 And so that's what we mean by physical force.

00:35:08.840 And yes, they did try to block the illegal immigrants from running across the border and running away.

00:35:17.480 You don't really see any physical contact being made, but they do position themselves in front of the illegal immigrants to try to block them. 1.00

00:35:25.680 And you might point out that that is exactly why they're there.

00:35:30.920 That's they're called Border Patrol.

00:35:34.440 This is in enforcement.

00:35:35.980 They are there to try to block people from coming across the border illegally.

00:35:41.580 That's one of the only reasons the Border Patrol exists in the first place.

00:35:47.880 That is being called unnecessary and inappropriate force.

00:35:53.400 As a way of papering over the fact that the whole story about whipping Haitian immigrants was completely false and fabricated from the beginning.

00:36:01.360 I'll move to this is from the Daily Wire.

00:36:02.760 It says the Food and Drug Administration received its first application for an over the counter birth control pill on Monday.

00:36:09.540 The application comes just weeks after the Supreme Court's ruling overturned Roe v.

00:36:13.400 Wade, which has some critics concerned about access to contraceptives.

00:36:16.280 There's no reason why there should be any concern about that, because Roe v.

00:36:18.780 Wade has nothing to do with contraception.

00:36:21.040 But it says the company behind the application, HRA Pharma, a Perigo company, seeks to become the first daily birth control pill available in the U.S.

00:36:29.260 without a prescription.

00:36:30.920 Now, this is very bad news, obviously very bad news.

00:36:35.820 It should be obvious to most people anyway.

00:36:38.120 And the reason is that, you know, we have been in this country below replacement level since probably the early 70s.

00:36:46.880 You know, what counts as replacement level, that can vary depending on who you talk to.

00:36:51.700 But since about the early 70s, we've been below population replacement level.

00:36:56.320 Last year in 2021 saw the slowest population growth in U.S. history.

00:37:01.500 75% of counties in this country lost population.

00:37:07.260 First time that's ever happened.

00:37:08.860 Total growth was 0.1%, which is definitely below replacement level.

00:37:13.700 And that is one of the many reasons why I don't celebrate any news about more accessible birth control.

00:37:20.480 Another reason is that the whole idea that birth control is inaccessible or there's a lack of birth control or it's hard for people to get their hands on birth control.

00:37:29.580 The whole idea is completely absurd and nonsensical and a complete false narrative.

00:37:35.740 There is the options for birth control for anyone who wants it are plentiful.

00:37:42.140 Unless you live out in the wilderness, 100 miles from the nearest town, and there's not very many places you can go in this country to live somewhere like that, and not very many people do.

00:37:52.280 But unless you live in a situation like that, birth control is very accessible to you.

00:37:58.800 Like you can get birth, you can get a form of birth control of contraceptive at almost any gas station.

00:38:04.400 That's how accessible it is.

00:38:06.340 And yet we're continually told how there's this phantom problem of people not being able to obtain birth control.

00:38:13.020 It's just like the people who have trouble voting because of voter ID laws.

00:38:20.380 I think these are two groups in the same camp in that they don't exist, or at least I've never seen any real evidence of them.

00:38:28.880 Okay, I want to talk to the person, whoever it is, who's actually had trouble obtaining some form of contraceptive in this country.

00:38:41.560 I want to know how that is.

00:38:43.940 Like, how exactly did that work that you had trouble obtaining it?

00:38:48.520 So that's the first problem with it.

00:38:50.260 But the other problem, as I said, is that population is declining rapidly.

00:38:57.220 And that is a crisis.

00:38:59.680 Why is that a crisis?

00:39:01.000 Well, because we're dying off as a people, as a country, which would seem to be a problem to me.

00:39:09.220 We are literally dying off, which leads to an older, more frail, more vulnerable population.

00:39:16.820 People just kind of wasting away without anybody to care for them, which is what we're experiencing right now.

00:39:26.220 It's going to get a lot worse in the next 50 to 70 years.

00:39:30.680 So if you think that civilization dying off is a problem, then there's no reason to celebrate greater access to birth control.

00:39:38.500 That's the exact opposite of our problem.

00:39:40.700 We do not have a problem with a lack of birth control.

00:39:44.060 If anything, the problem goes the other way.

00:39:46.820 And why is our population declining?

00:39:51.860 Well, it has a lot to do with birth control.

00:39:54.320 It has a lot to do with the fact that people are increasingly giving up on human relationships entirely, replacing it with internet porn and that sort of thing.

00:40:04.500 It has a lot to do with materialism.

00:40:06.420 People are prioritizing other things, their material comfort and luxury and everything,

00:40:11.840 rather than having starting families and leaving a legacy and having progeny and descendants and everything else.

00:40:17.620 And at the bottom of all of that, I think, is the fact that we as a civilization are despairing of ourselves.

00:40:31.020 We're just giving up on existence.

00:40:33.220 We're simply giving up on it.

00:40:35.060 And you can see that in people because when you, as I said, you would think it'd be obvious that our population declining and dying off is a problem.

00:40:47.480 You'd think that would be obvious to people.

00:40:48.940 And yet, when you tell people that, very often they kind of shrug their shoulders.

00:40:52.580 Why does that matter?

00:40:54.640 Why does it matter if your civilization dies off?

00:40:57.360 If I need to explain that to you, then we have big problems here that go beyond this conversation.

00:41:02.920 All right, let's go to some good news before we get to our comment section.

00:41:08.820 This article from CNN, unfortunately, ropes Biden into it and tries to give him credit for something that he had nothing at all to do with.

00:41:15.060 But if you can overlook that, the story is quite fascinating.

00:41:18.900 It says, the first glimpse of how the James Webb Space Telescope will change the way people see the universe has arrived.

00:41:25.140 President Joe Biden has released one of Webb's first images.

00:41:29.240 And, of course, he did.

00:41:29.920 The president didn't release the image from the satellite, but whatever.

00:41:33.520 And it's the deepest and sharpest infrared image of the distant universe to date, according to NASA.

00:41:38.600 The image shows a galaxy cluster, and it's called gravitational lensing.

00:41:45.320 This created Webb's first deep field view of incredibly old and distant faint galaxies.

00:41:50.220 The presentation occurred at the White House during a preview event with NASA Administrator Bill Nelson.

00:41:55.080 And then today and throughout the week, they're going to release more images from this telescope.

00:41:58.120 So this telescope, and you can see, we'll put the image up on the screen, you can see it.

00:42:04.620 This is a telescope positioned a million miles away.

00:42:09.340 Now, the Hubble telescope, I think, is like 300 miles outside of Earth's orbit.

00:42:14.260 This is a million miles away, orbiting like around the sun, capturing images 5 billion light years away, which is to say 5 billion years into the past.

00:42:26.780 And when you look at that image, each blob of light that you see there in the image is a galaxy.

00:42:35.140 And each of those galaxies has like 100 billion stars.

00:42:38.660 And each of those galaxies is millions of miles away, millions of light years away from each other, yet they seem so crowded together in the image.

00:42:49.100 And yet, if you were to hold up a grain of sand in front of your face, it would block out this whole region of space from your perspective.

00:42:59.520 Okay, billions and billions and trillions and zillions of miles with billions of planets and suns and nebulae and galaxies and black holes and probably millions of advanced civilizations.

00:43:14.140 I'm assuming all of that, from our perspective, tinier than a grain of sand on the beach.

00:43:22.080 Which, that is interesting.

00:43:27.700 You better be interested by it.

00:43:29.800 If this doesn't interest you, then I don't know what else to tell.

00:43:32.160 I don't know what to say.

00:43:33.600 I give up.

00:43:34.740 Let's get to our comment section.

00:43:37.220 Daily cancellations are the law and order of the day.

00:43:42.320 We the sweet baby gang.

00:45:13.180 Now, we do have some comments from the show yesterday, but there were two others that I neglected to read yesterday as we were reading yesterday, reading comments from a video released during vacation where I was ranking the worst superheroes.

00:45:28.060 And I was reading some comments from some very angry nerds who were mad that I was being disrespectful of superheroes and superhero mythology.

00:45:37.980 I just want to read two other comments to you because these are great.

00:45:40.260 Uh, Yakubu says, hey Matt, I just want to say, you are absolutely right.

00:45:44.640 You're not qualified to make this judgment of superhero movies.

00:45:47.600 If you think that the Wonder Woman outfit isn't the right one for war, maybe if you research on the character, you'll know better.

00:45:56.060 Oh, yeah, Wonder Woman in like a spandex leotard fighting trench warfare. 0.96

00:46:04.040 That's the, that, by the way, also bright colored, bright colored, uh, but the hair and makeup is perfectly done.

00:46:11.520 Bright colored spandex uniform for trench warfare.

00:46:16.580 For 20th century trench warfare.

00:46:18.320 You think that's the right outfit.

00:46:19.540 That's what you would go with.

00:46:21.040 If someone said to you, if you got enlisted to be involved in trench warfare, that you would say, hey, let me go grab my spandex real quick.

00:46:28.240 Come on, Yakubu.

00:46:29.420 You know better.

00:46:29.880 Dwight says, usually I'm very much in agreement with Matt Walsh, but I could not watch this whole video. 0.95

00:46:35.100 Blatantly ripping female superheroes for a show and trying to compare them to realistic standards when they're obviously fictional characters is ridiculous and irresponsible.

00:46:45.520 Everything he's saying can be applied to male superheroes if you utilize that same logic. 0.62

00:46:50.740 The tone from the first eight minutes I watched really makes it sound as if he personally does not like women superheroes.

00:46:56.200 Were they the greatest movies?

00:46:57.560 No, but find other relevant topics.

00:46:59.880 Come on, man.

00:47:00.920 I just love this.

00:47:01.900 I love this comment for so many reasons.

00:47:03.820 It's irresponsible.

00:47:05.460 This is like dangerous and irresponsible to criticize female superheroes. 0.98

00:47:10.420 I'd love to learn a little bit more about that.

00:47:12.340 Why it's irresponsible.

00:47:14.120 You accuse me of not liking women superheroes.

00:47:16.600 Well, yes, I'm guilty as charged.

00:47:18.460 I'm not hiding that.

00:47:19.720 But I also don't like any other superheroes.

00:47:21.700 So you can rest easy, I suppose, on that part of it.

00:47:24.620 And then you complain about the topic itself.

00:47:27.140 We'll find something else to talk about.

00:47:28.060 You clicked on a video where the title was ranking the worst superheroes.

00:47:34.820 So it doesn't make any sense to click on the content and then criticize the content for existing.

00:47:40.940 It's just like if I walked in to, you know, if I were Jill Biden walking into a taco restaurant and then saying, why are you guys making tacos in here?

00:47:54.660 Why don't you make a pizza instead?

00:47:57.560 If you want other content, then just don't click on that thing, which is very clearly labeled.

00:48:03.500 All right, let's go to some comments from the actual show.

00:48:06.420 It says, H Mills says, Matt, how are you so on top of things already?

00:48:12.300 We just got back from vacation with our six children and had an amazing time.

00:48:15.560 But I'm on my second day trying to recover.

00:48:17.800 The Suburban is still trashed.

00:48:19.160 There's a mountain of laundry and somehow the house is trashed when we haven't been here.

00:48:23.340 We also brought home a cold.

00:48:25.740 Parents need at least a week to get back to normal.

00:48:27.860 Glad to have you back.

00:48:29.820 Yeah, well, this is all camera tricks, I assure you.

00:48:35.440 Any parent knows this, that after going on vacation as a family, you need another vacation from the vacation.

00:48:40.980 But part of the advantage I have is that I'm still like semi on vacation.

00:48:45.120 I mean, I'm at least in the place where we vacationed.

00:48:47.580 So, but make no mistake that I can pull together slightly a little bit for camera, not even that well.

00:48:54.300 But in reality, I'm just falling apart in so many ways.

00:48:58.780 William says, Matt is a different kind of creature.

00:49:01.060 I honestly don't think most people could handle the attack that comes when you speak the truth about gender. 0.99

00:49:04.960 Not that I'm excusing her giving in to threats, but I can't imagine what it feels like to be subjected to leftist attacks.

00:49:11.180 So I kind of agree with J.K. Rowling standing up for her.

00:49:14.260 But I also agree with Matt that it's better to stand your ground in the long run.

00:49:20.660 Yeah, you know, yes, it's difficult when people are attacking you.

00:49:27.660 But we can acknowledge that.

00:49:29.780 And I think we've all acknowledged that.

00:49:31.060 And I acknowledge that.

00:49:31.880 I've experienced it.

00:49:32.880 So I know that it's difficult.

00:49:33.840 But once we acknowledge that, then we just have to move on.

00:49:37.700 Because if we're going to tolerate that as an excuse indefinitely, then nothing's going to ever get better.

00:49:45.780 Like if you want any kind of positive change in society, it requires at least a little bit of courage.

00:49:51.780 There's no way to do it without courage.

00:49:55.920 Courage is, I think C.S. Lewis said, courage is the testing point of all virtue.

00:50:00.820 You can't really have any virtue if you don't have courage.

00:50:03.840 So what you're, and I appreciate that you're trying to be empathetic.

00:50:12.400 But at the same time, what you're basically saying is, yeah, but you know, if it requires courage that we shouldn't expect people to do it.

00:50:18.480 Well, that is also, talk about giving up on civilization.

00:50:22.860 I mean, that's, you're just giving up or throwing up our hands.

00:50:26.500 And we need to hold people to a higher standard than that.

00:50:28.680 Yes, it does require courage to stand up against the mob, but we all should expect each other to show courage.

00:50:37.960 And if we don't, we should be held accountable for that.

00:50:42.420 Let's see, Peanut Pablo says, I feel so bad now because I'm blind and I have my fiancee drive me places.

00:50:51.800 I'll have to put up with the judgment of Sweet Daddy Walsh and the Sweet Baby siblings.

00:50:55.420 Well, I hate to say it, but, you know, just as I know that I can't depend on any excuse when I relinquish the steering wheel to my wife, even though I had driven 17 hours and she only drove two and I felt like I was falling asleep at the wheel.

00:51:11.480 So I had to, still, it's not a good excuse.

00:51:13.900 The man always drives.

00:51:14.820 And I think even visual impairment is just not a satisfactory excuse, I'm afraid to say.

00:51:23.000 And finally, Jeremy says, why is everyone in the comments calling him Sweet Daddy Walsh?

00:51:27.500 Well, here is someone who doesn't know the first rule of the Sweet Baby gang and is therefore banned.

00:51:32.940 But thanks for watching anyway.

00:51:34.740 Every day, the universe is expanding and we're learning more about it and how interesting and fascinating it is.

00:52:42.800 Now let's get to our daily cancellation.

00:52:49.200 Well, it's been a prolific week for privilege.

00:52:52.420 It all began on Saturday with a rousing Twitter debate about Anne Frank's white privilege.

00:52:57.660 Now, apparently some leftists on the platform had been discussing the issue of inherent privileges allegedly enjoyed by victims of the Holocaust.

00:53:06.340 And TMZ was the first outlet to pick up on this conversation and report on it with the breathless and only semi-coherent headline,

00:53:12.780 Anne Frank, she had white privilege? 0.97

00:53:15.180 Twitter debates.

00:53:16.960 TMZ reports in their article,

00:53:18.000 Twitter is yet again proving it's the worst for bulk bad takes,

00:53:21.820 this time debating whether Anne Frank, who was hunted and killed by Nazis, had white privilege while alive.

00:53:27.900 Then there's an emoji.

00:53:29.660 I don't even know what that emoji is supposed to mean.

00:53:31.620 They put it in the middle of like a news article, an emoji.

00:53:35.000 Then they continue,

00:53:35.680 You might have noticed that the late Holocaust victim was trending Saturday, but finding out why is disheartening.

00:53:42.040 Some, it seems, have floated an argument that Frank benefited from white privilege in Nazi Germany,

00:53:46.440 an argument that is rightly being shot down left and right.

00:53:49.740 Unclear how this toxic discourse first started,

00:53:52.480 but it seems to stem from a warped notion that Jews had the benefit of their skin color to go unnoticed in public,

00:53:57.460 if only temporarily, during that bleak time in history.

00:54:00.260 While POC, historically, haven't been able to do so.

00:54:03.760 The theory is so twisted, and yet, it's being defended by a select few on the Byrd app.

00:54:09.340 Now, as always, the first thing that jumps out at you anytime you read a TMZ article

00:54:14.440 is that the film Idiocracy had it wildly wrong,

00:54:17.780 because in the movie, it took 500 years for the world to be so completely dumbed down and stupefied

00:54:23.340 that a guy with an IQ of 95 is the greatest genius on the planet.

00:54:27.080 By all appearances, we'll reach that point probably in another, I don't know,

00:54:30.160 you know, not 500 years, maybe 500 minutes or so.

00:54:32.960 As for the white privilege debate, TMZ may be scandalized by the very notion that a 16-year-old girl

00:54:40.160 who died in the Holocaust could be accused of having, you know, any kind of privilege at all. 0.99

00:54:46.480 And it is an incredibly stupid idea, but it's also what leftism teaches. 0.98

00:54:52.240 The doctrine of white privilege clearly states that white people possess inherent privileges on the basis of their race. 1.00

00:54:58.640 No exceptions are made for this, or can be made,

00:55:01.900 because any exception would unravel the whole idea of inherent privilege to begin with.

00:55:05.940 If any individual white person can lose their privilege, or never possess it to begin with,

00:55:11.400 it would prove that privilege is not something automatically bestowed on everyone based on skin pigmentation.

00:55:18.380 And if that's the case, then the white privilege creed is invalid,

00:55:22.640 but the invalidation of the white privilege concept would mean the invalidation of the left's entire racial project.

00:55:28.640 Which they can't allow to happen.

00:55:30.560 This means that all white people, everywhere, in all situations, 0.84

00:55:34.760 must be indicted for possessing inherent privilege, no matter how invisible that privilege may seem.

00:55:40.680 Holocaust victims had privilege. 0.99

00:55:42.600 The white child born in a single wide trailer to a meth-addicted mother has privilege. 0.82

00:55:47.560 The homeless white guy sleeping under the bridge has privilege.

00:55:51.520 The white college applicant denied acceptance in favor of a less qualified minority applicant has privilege. 0.69

00:55:57.520 If you are white, even if you can find no evidence in your life that you were ever given any advantage because of your race,

00:56:06.180 and even if, on the contrary, there's actually evidence that you've been disadvantaged because of your race,

00:56:11.360 you still have privilege.

00:56:13.660 Privilege is unfalsifiable.

00:56:16.260 There is nothing you can do to disprove it,

00:56:18.540 and that includes being murdered in the Holocaust. 0.53

00:56:20.880 If that sounds crazy to you, well, yes, exactly.

00:56:25.300 You're getting the point.

00:56:26.700 But there were more developments on the privilege front this weekend.

00:56:29.700 A TikTok video went viral thanks to our friend Libs of TikTok featuring an obese woman 1.00

00:56:35.400 explaining the concept of thin privilege.

00:56:39.360 Yes, privilege is not just assigned on, based on race.

00:56:42.000 Of course, there are many other forms of it.

00:56:43.520 As TikTok user GayDHDGoddess explains, listen.

00:56:48.820 I have thin privilege.

00:56:52.060 But I'm so fat.

00:56:53.960 I'm like a size 20, 22.

00:56:56.320 How can I possibly have thin privilege?

00:56:59.120 Because there are people who are fatter than me.

00:57:01.840 When I go on a plane, I might need a seatbelt extender.

00:57:05.640 I might be uncomfortable.

00:57:07.020 I may not feel good. 0.58

00:57:08.120 People may say sh** things to me.

00:57:09.600 But I don't need to buy a second seat or risk getting kicked off the plane.

00:57:15.180 That means that I have privilege compared to people who have that experience.

00:57:19.760 You may not even need a seatbelt extender.

00:57:22.900 If that's the case, then you have privilege compared to me.

00:57:26.960 Somebody who is a model size may have privilege compared to you.

00:57:30.920 But that doesn't mean you don't have any privilege.

00:57:34.720 Almost all of us have some thin privilege.

00:57:37.380 It's a spectrum and it goes by degrees.

00:57:41.100 Right.

00:57:41.540 If you need a seatbelt extender, you still have thin privilege because at least you fit into one seat, she says.

00:57:48.560 She actually says that.

00:57:50.440 And if you need two seats, you still have thin privilege compared to somebody who takes up the whole row.

00:57:53.900 And that person actually has thin privilege compared to somebody who needs to charter their own military cargo plane just to get around.

00:58:01.220 And that person has thin privilege compared to somebody who can't fly at all and has to be tied down to an aircraft carrier like King Kong and dropped off on a mythical island filled with other prehistoric beasts.

00:58:10.820 As long as there's at least one other life form, theoretically more gargantuan than you, you have thin privilege, we're told.

00:58:19.740 Now, you can kind of see the self-serving, I would really call it brilliance of the thin privilege spectrum concept because all at once, it allows the fat person to claim victim status, you know, competing for gold in the oppression Olympics.

00:58:36.300 While at the same time, rationalizing their gluttony by also claiming thin status in comparison to people fatter than themselves.

00:58:44.520 So they can have their cake and eat it too.

00:58:46.780 In their case, both figuratively and I'm sure literally.

00:58:49.740 The magic of intersectional victimology all at once makes them both victims of fatness and beneficiaries of thinness.

00:58:59.020 They can be both.

00:59:00.140 It's the best of both worlds.

00:59:01.780 Or at least it would be if the worlds actually existed.

00:59:04.980 But they don't.

00:59:06.300 Because as a great philosopher once said, I think it was Aristotle. 1.00

00:59:09.520 He said, quoting, he said, the mere existence of a fatter ass does not make your ass any less fat. 1.00

00:59:18.300 Thinness, you know, may have a relative component to it. 0.99

00:59:21.760 For example, even after gorging myself on vacation for a week and a half, I am still thinner than, let's say, a humpback whale.

00:59:30.520 But that doesn't really mean anything.

00:59:32.400 Because if you're a human being, your thinness or fatness is judged really not based on a comparison between yourself and other species or even between yourself and other people, but rather on how a human is supposed to be built.

00:59:43.760 The problem with being fat is that if you are fat, you are carrying around more lard than your body was made to handle.

00:59:53.420 And that would be the case even if you were the only person on earth.

00:59:55.860 Even if you are morbidly obese and everyone else dies and you're the last person living, you would still be fat.

01:00:05.540 Because your body wasn't made to handle all that fat.

01:00:08.700 You're overtaxing your bones, your internal organs.

01:00:11.160 You're killing yourself.

01:00:12.120 That would be the case no matter what anybody else is doing.

01:00:15.380 This is also why thin privilege makes no sense.

01:00:17.320 No matter what the left has tried to do with the word, privilege is quite simply, as the dictionary still defines it, at least for now, a special right, advantage, or immunity granted or available only to a particular person or group.

01:00:32.040 That's a privilege.

01:00:34.260 The ability to fit onto an airplane seat is not a special right or advantage.

01:00:38.860 The ability of my liver and lungs and other internal organs to function normally is not a special right or advantage.

01:00:47.260 It's simply the standard human experience.

01:00:49.880 It's what we're supposed to all experience.

01:00:51.620 The obese person has inflicted upon himself special disadvantages.

01:00:57.180 That doesn't make him a victim in any kind of societal sense of the term.

01:01:01.780 The same can be applied to the concept of racial privilege.

01:01:04.760 If you, as a white person, have never been explicitly granted special rights or advantages or immunities because of the color of your skin, then you don't have white privilege.

01:01:17.300 Okay.

01:01:17.700 If there is nothing that you're allowed to do because you're white that other non-white people aren't allowed to do, then you don't have white privilege. 0.54

01:01:28.860 You might have other privileges.

01:01:30.140 There are, indeed, privileges that come with, let's say, being wealthy.

01:01:35.600 There are privileges that come with being extremely attractive.

01:01:38.820 Not that I would know.

01:01:40.240 This is especially the case if you're a woman. 1.00

01:01:41.740 All kinds of privileges come with being an attractive woman.

01:01:44.380 And most of all, there are privileges granted on the basis of ideology.

01:01:49.320 You will enjoy the support and encouragement of every powerful institution in the country if you're on the left side of the ideological divide.

01:01:58.140 That's the greatest privilege that our society has to offer.

01:02:02.560 It's where true privilege can be found in many ways.

01:02:06.020 So, ironically, those complaining about their lack of privilege are doing so in order to gain privilege.

01:02:12.900 By professing the doctrine of privilege, they're publicly aligning themselves with leftism and ensuring that they'll be granted all the privileges that come with it.

01:02:21.340 And that is why white privilege and thin privilege and all the other fallacious concepts of privilege are today canceled.

01:02:31.160 And we'll leave it there for today.

01:02:32.100 Thanks for watching.

01:02:32.660 Thanks for listening.

01:02:33.540 Have a great day.

01:02:34.600 Godspeed.

01:02:34.960 We'll see you next time.
