The Matt Walsh Show - Ep. 997 - Public Health Experts Recommend Orgies During Monkeypox Outbreak

00:00:00.000 Today on The Matt Walsh Show, public health experts encourage gay men to continue having 1.00

00:00:03.980 orgies and attending fetish festivals in spite of monkeypox. What exactly explains the incredible 0.94

00:00:08.480 contrast between the monkeypox response and the COVID response? I have a few theories that I'll

00:00:13.520 share. Also, reptilian demon spawn George Soros pledges to continue funding and facilitating

00:00:19.020 the violent chaos in our cities. Also, more victims of alleged Sesame Street racism step

00:00:24.420 forward and demand cash, of course. Gordon Ramsay faces backlash as TikTokers discover 1.00

00:00:29.300 with horror where their food comes from. And our daily cancellation, even Beyonce,

00:00:33.320 is not safe from the woke mob now. All of that and more today on The Matt Walsh Show.

00:00:46.900 You know, you've heard me talk a lot on this show about how important it is to get your kids away

00:00:51.040 from the garbage that they're teaching in our public school systems, Marxism, socialism, critical

00:00:54.900 race theory, the transgen, all of it. Now, there are a lot of ways you can protect your kids from 1.00

00:00:58.740 these not-so-secret leftist attacks. You can homeschool. You can get them involved in a

00:01:03.000 religious community. You can get them the right books to read, like my best-selling children's

00:01:07.000 book, Johnny the Walrus, by the way. These things are all great, and you should do them. But what if

00:01:10.860 you couldn't? No one likes to talk about it, but we will all eventually die. It's quite a transition.

00:01:18.040 That's just how life works. The end result is always the same. Some of us, however, may die sooner

00:01:23.240 than others, and we need to be prepared for that possibility because if we're not prepared,

00:01:27.660 if we haven't taken the necessary steps to shield our kids from the aggressive attacks and

00:01:32.000 indoctrination attempts coming from the left, then we've left them completely unarmed and

00:01:35.780 unprotected. That's why you should take five minutes to sit down tonight and write a will

00:01:39.520 that will ensure your kids will be raised the way you would have intended in the event that

00:01:43.120 something should happen to you. Lucky for you, my sponsor over at Epic Will makes it really easy to do

00:01:47.080 that. Epic Will is an online platform that costs less than your next trip to the store.

00:02:01.340 Walsh today. Following in the footsteps of New York and Illinois, California has officially declared

00:02:07.620 a state of emergency because of the monkeypox outbreak. Governor Newsom announced the move on

00:02:12.600 Monday, explaining that the state of emergency would help facilitate the state's vaccination drive.

00:02:16.800 As of now, he says there is far more demand for the monkeypox vaccine than there is supply.

00:02:23.260 Meanwhile, and this happened just this morning, President Biden is still, of course, battling

00:02:27.800 through his 19th bout with COVID, but he still announced his newly assembled monkeypox response

00:02:33.460 team. Think of them as sort of like the Avengers, except for blisters. Robert Fenton of FEMA is now the

00:02:39.600 national monkeypox coordinator and Dr. Dimitri Daskalakis of the CDC will be his deputy, his Robin

00:02:47.860 to his Batman, I suppose. I know I'm mixing DC and Marvel. Forget about it. It's a good thing,

00:02:53.720 though, that we have both FEMA and the CDC on the case because both organizations are renowned for

00:03:00.240 making every problem worse. And I think their vast experience with being totally incompetent and useless 0.98

00:03:05.720 will be very important in this case, especially after all, making the problem worse, fanning the 0.89

00:03:11.360 flames, dumping fuel on the fire would seem to be the overall sort of agreed upon strategy with respect

00:03:17.640 to monkeypox. For example, in San Francisco, a day before the virus was declared a statewide emergency

00:03:24.120 with, you know, the lines for the vaccine still stretching around the corner, an annual gay fetish 0.97

00:03:31.220 festival was still held as scheduled. Your grandfather died alone in a nursing home because 0.83

00:03:38.480 you weren't allowed to visit him due to COVID and your kids were locked out of school for a year. But

00:03:42.160 gays in San Francisco were still having their sex festival even amid an outbreak that specifically 1.00

00:03:47.820 spreads through those sorts of events in that community. A local news outlet reports, quote, 0.71

00:03:54.500 the annual Door Alley Festival happened Sunday in San Francisco's Soma neighborhood despite growing

00:03:59.520 concerns about the spread of monkeypox. The virus has been predominantly spreading among gay and

00:04:03.480 bisexual men who make up the majority of the festival's attendees. The leather and fetish fair 0.95

00:04:07.900 draws thousands of people to San Francisco. The event comes after the city just declared a public health

00:04:12.660 emergency for monkeypox as the virus continues to spread. I think the risk is not zero, UCSF infectious

00:04:20.860 disease specialist Dr. Peter Chin Hong said. I think if people are smart and know how monkeypox is spread,

00:04:26.740 they can avoid it. Chin Hong says that the risk of contracting the virus at events like Door Alley is

00:04:32.700 very low. However, that risk increases based on intimate interactions with others. Quote,

00:04:39.320 prolonged skin-to-skin contact and possibly through sexual transmission, although skin-to-skin contact is

00:04:44.800 the main thing, Chin Hong added. So that's large. In terms of medium, that will be prolonged kissing

00:04:50.820 through saliva, but it requires hours. Hugging by itself, giving a high-five, shaking somebody's hand is

00:04:57.560 not going to result in transmission, he says. Oh, well, that's a relief. You know, if you're attending the

00:05:03.780 gay fetish carnival to give high-fives and shake people's hands, then you should be fine, he assures us. 0.94

00:05:13.140 Anyway, the good news is that the event was also an educational opportunity. The report continues, 0.98

00:05:17.760 quote, event organizers say they're working with the city's public health department to provide

00:05:22.420 on-site outreach and education. Despite precautions, Chin Hong expects to see more cases after this

00:05:28.060 weekend. Quote, I expect a lot of activity next week in terms of alerts, Chin Hong says. So to review,

00:05:35.240 this public health expert and infectious disease specialist says that the risk of contracting

00:05:39.720 monkeypox at a fetish festival in a city that's a monkeypox hotspot is very low. And yet he anticipates 0.91

00:05:47.380 purely by coincidence, more virus activity directly after the event concludes. Now, the San Francisco

00:05:55.380 AIDS Foundation, which is a non-profit which has worked closely with the city's public health

00:05:59.780 department for decades, they issued their own sort of guide for this festival, which they are calling

00:06:07.060 Douchey's Guide to Door with, quote, some ideas to reduce your risk and still enjoy your favorite

00:06:14.320 kink and fetish festival in San Francisco. The guide begins, quote, we're gearing up for an exciting

00:06:20.900 return of our favorite street festival in San Francisco, Up Your Alley, aka Door Alley, where

00:06:26.140 you'll get your fill of hot hairy daddies, hungry pigs, BDSM babes, and kinks of all kinds. Douchey's got 1.00

00:06:32.640 some hot tips for a fun and filthy weekend, free of anxiety. We are then given a variety of tips and some

00:06:39.820 of them I can't even read out loud to you. And really, I shouldn't read any of them out loud. But

00:06:43.900 here's one tip. It says, take a friend to the dungeon. Going to sex parties with people you know

00:06:50.220 and planning on who you'll hook up with can be one way to reduce your risk if you're able to have

00:06:54.840 open and honest conversations about monkeypox symptoms and possible exposures. So make sure to

00:07:00.740 have open and honest conversations in the sex dungeon, they're saying. The guide also cautions that

00:07:06.980 you should perhaps, you know, think about avoiding the piles of gay men having sex with each other in 1.00

00:07:12.240 dark back rooms and instead stick to having orgies in well-lit areas. Also, if you appear to be breaking 1.00

00:07:18.920 out in monkeypox rashes yourself, well then of course the guide says, stay home, don't go. Just kidding,

00:07:27.080 the AIDS Foundation recommends that you just cover your bumps with a band-aid and head out onto the town

00:07:32.320 anyway. That's really what it says. You could actively be breaking out in monkeypox. Ah, just,

00:07:38.740 you know, wear long sleeves, put some band-aids on, go have fun in the orgy. This is a sort of health 0.95

00:07:44.800 advice that's being dispensed for monkeypox. Any warnings or suggestions or policies more stringent

00:07:53.960 than this would be shaming to the gay community. We can't have that. That's what California legislator

00:08:00.840 Scott Wiener, whose name will never stop being funny, recently explained on Twitter, he tweeted, 0.99

00:08:05.500 quote, lots of sex shaming of gay men around monkeypox. The same shaming we saw in the 1980s about HIV.

00:08:12.460 Lecturing people not to have sex isn't a public health strategy. It didn't stop HIV, it made it 0.93

00:08:17.440 worse and it won't stop monkeypox. What will work is vaccination, testing, and education. Well, what about

00:08:24.280 educating people about the fact that fetish festivals and orgies are disgusting and barbaric

00:08:31.000 and are guaranteed to be vectors of all kinds of diseases? Can we educate people about that? No,

00:08:38.140 we can't impart that sort of education because it's simply not a good public health strategy to tell gay 1.00

00:08:43.200 men to make good health decisions and to encourage them to please refrain from recklessly spreading their

00:08:48.820 bodily fluids all over town. Yet it was a good public health strategy to shut down all of society for 0.99

00:08:56.020 a year or more. That was perfectly reasonable, practical to tell people to stay in their homes

00:09:02.520 and not go anywhere or do anything for months on end. That's reasonable, practical. But telling gay men 1.00

00:09:08.900 just, hey, refrain from the orgies for a couple of weeks. In fact, I made this point in response to 0.99

00:09:17.280 Wiener and some guy named Lane Wood, who has a blue check, so again, we know he's important,

00:09:22.000 responded tagging Twitter and Twitter CEO. He said to me, hey, Twitter safety, I know these are not easy

00:09:27.940 calls to make and technically Matt Walsh's tweets don't cross lines yet. I don't care that he has the

00:09:33.140 views he does, he's allowed. However, we know this is paving the path to violence for his audience.

00:09:39.860 So, I didn't say anything wrong or incorrect, whether factually or morally, and I didn't violate any

00:09:46.860 Twitter policies, but Lane wants me banned anyway because somehow the simple truths I'm discussing might

00:09:53.740 pave the path to violence. This is, of course, a common view on the gay left. On Friday, a gay news site 0.99

00:10:01.540 LGBTQ Nation published an article with the headline, Monkeypox is not a gay disease, but it is being painted

00:10:07.760 that way worldwide. Touting the monkeypox virus as a gay disease endangers both queer and non-queer 0.94

00:10:13.900 people. Now, to be perfectly clear about this, I don't think that monkeypox is a gay virus. I doubt 0.94

00:10:22.340 it has any particular sexual orientation at all, though I haven't asked. I also don't know its

00:10:26.740 pronouns. I wouldn't presume to assume. What I do know is that it's a disease which infects gay men 1.00

00:10:33.160 nearly exclusively, nearly, in part, helped by the fact that gay men are nearly exclusively, nearly, 1.00

00:10:40.360 the ones attending fetish festivals and orgies. That's what I do know. Two other important points 0.99

00:10:47.060 I think should be made here. First, you notice how often LGBT people are endangered by the truth,

00:10:55.460 according to the left. They spread this ring of eggshells around LGBT people and demand that we 0.97

00:11:03.700 walk gingerly on them all the time. There are a million fantasies, false impressions, delusions

00:11:09.540 that we're supposed to keep intact. A million bubbles we must not burst. This is how the left

00:11:15.440 wants us to see it anyway. But this approach not only places a ridiculous, unfair burden on all of us

00:11:21.740 who are forbidden from speaking the basic truth, commanded constantly to lie, but it also harms the

00:11:28.660 very people it's supposed to protect. The truth that we must shield LGBT people from are, these truths 1.00

00:11:36.540 are always, and in every case, exactly the truths that they most need to hear. So who is the compassionate

00:11:45.620 one, the loving one? Is it the guy who shouts to the person about to walk right off a cliff,

00:11:52.420 attempting to warn him about the plunge ahead? Or is it the guy who tries to muffle the other guy,

00:11:58.020 preventing him from issuing the warning? Which one is loving and compassionate?

00:12:04.160 Second point, there are several reasons why gay people are allowed, rather encouraged, actually, 0.98

00:12:10.800 to continue running around town having sex with strangers during monkeypox while the rest of us 0.90

00:12:15.220 were made to put our entire lives on hold during COVID. The most obvious reason is that gays are a 1.00

00:12:19.400 protected privileged class, and therefore they have different rules, and they just live by a different

00:12:24.480 set of rules than the rest of us do. But there's something else too, and it's this. The left believes

00:12:32.260 that no right is as sacred as the right to sexual gratification. Okay? In fact, by their doctrines,

00:12:40.860 there really is no right other than the right to sexual gratification. That is, every right boils

00:12:46.080 down to this one, the right to be sexually satisfied. Every liberty is grounded in this.

00:12:52.940 According to them, we have no right to do anything except satisfy ourselves sexually.

00:12:57.060 This is, by their view, in their dreary, miserable vision of the world, this is what it is. There is

00:13:04.620 no meaning to life other than the pursuit of temporary carnal pleasure. This is why they can't

00:13:11.180 bear to abstain or tell others to abstain, even amid a monkeypox outbreak. A life without immediate,

00:13:18.440 constant sexual satisfaction is a life without meaning, a life without purpose. It is a kind of death.

00:13:27.840 To tell people to control themselves sexually for even a day is to essentially kill them. That's the 0.98

00:13:38.500 way the left looks at it. Because this right trumps everything. The right to be sexually satisfied

00:13:46.000 certainly trumps any concern for safety or health, especially the safety and health of other people

00:13:51.740 who themselves have no worth except so far as they can be used sexually and discarded.

00:13:57.060 This is what lies at the heart of the public health approach to monkeypox and also, of course, at the

00:14:03.360 heart of every other insane thing in our culture. Now let's get to our five headlines.

00:14:09.640 Back to school season is upon us. And while many American kids are excited to get back into the

00:14:21.100 classroom, many others are not because these children don't know where their meals will be

00:14:25.920 coming from this semester. That's why Good Ranchers has made it their mission to donate 100,000 high

00:15:26.720 All right, before we continue, I wanted to tell you about a little bit of personal news. Actually,

00:15:30.620 not a little bit. It's a big personal news. So one night in early June, this past June,

00:15:39.420 my wife walked into the living room and she was holding a little pink stick. And it was kind of

00:15:44.900 the familiar setup to a scene that's played out a few times in our marriage. And, you know, she of

00:15:50.760 course told me that she was pregnant. Now, it might seem strange when I tell you that her pregnancy came

00:15:56.380 as a shock to both of us because we are a married couple with four kids already. You would think

00:16:01.360 that by now we've kind of figured out how these things work. But in fact, 10 years ago, before our

00:16:08.900 twins were born, we were told that it was unlikely we'd ever have children at all. That's what the

00:16:12.040 doctors told us. And then we had the twins. And with each pregnancy, we were kind of told the same

00:16:16.220 thing. Well, this is probably the last one. And then we had our youngest daughter almost three years

00:16:21.800 ago. And we were told the same thing. We started to believe it, you know, almost three years go by.

00:16:27.320 And we kind of settled into this idea that, okay, we're going to have four kids. And we just in fact

00:16:32.960 bought a car that fits our family of six perfectly, like the day before this news came down. And,

00:16:40.700 you know, God had other plans as is so often the case. So a couple of weeks later, my wife went for

00:16:47.340 an ultrasound. And I stayed with the kids. And she came out of the appointment with a mysterious look 0.79

00:16:54.960 on her face. And she handed me the ultrasound picture. And I looked at it. And sure enough,

00:17:02.120 you know, as expected, there was the little circle, which is our baby. And right next to that one,

00:17:08.860 another little circle, because there's another baby. And we're having twins. Again, we're having

00:17:15.800 another set of twins, almost a decade, almost exactly a decade after the first set.

00:17:20.920 Now we're going to give it another go. I'm going to be totally honest with you. There was a, you know,

00:17:25.900 the reaction, it's, it's, there's a lot of, we've been, like I said, we've been through this before,

00:17:30.520 but a lot of emotions come rushing it. A little bit of panic set in at first. I will admit that.

00:17:36.120 I may have for a moment sort of doubled over and looked like someone catching his breath after a

00:17:42.320 five-mile run. This was just not on my radar at all. To use an online cliche that I hate,

00:17:48.160 this wasn't on my bingo card, let's just say. But you know, life would be very boring if you always

00:17:56.320 got what you expected or what you planned for. The excitement in life and the joy of it, it comes

00:18:02.540 from embracing the unexpected. Adjusting your swing for the, for the curve balls, I guess.

00:18:08.240 This is also the hallmark of true adulthood. So my wife and I, I, you know, I'm not going to say

00:18:14.140 we're ready because we learned from the first set of twins. You can never actually be ready to have

00:18:18.040 twins, but we, we, we are ready to do what we aren't ready for, if that makes sense. And we're

00:18:23.520 grateful and we're excited and frankly, a little bit terrified, but all of that is part of, part of

00:18:26.800 life. That's all, that's all, that's all the joy of life. And the other good thing is that my wife and

00:18:33.520 I are single-handedly staving off the population decline. We are, we, we've got this. We're taking

00:18:39.920 control. We will get us all above replacement level. We'll do it. And I am also taking over the

00:18:48.060 world with my progeny. So one step closer to my vision of a theocratic fascist dictatorship.

00:18:57.720 If I can't, you know, if I can't get to that position through votes, then I'll just, I'll,

00:19:04.140 I'll, I'll get there through sheer numbers. All right. There's no stopping us now, I guess.

00:19:11.160 All right. So let me, uh, let me go here first. Here's something heartwarming. It's a news report

00:19:18.160 out of Los Angeles about an attempted armed robbery of a convenience store. And, uh, we'll play this

00:19:25.860 clip for you. This is the, the local news report. Let's go ahead and play this.

00:19:30.640 Strategically tucked behind the counter, Cope whipped out his hidden shotgun and

00:19:34.620 blasted the suspect in the arm. As the man took off, another camera captured this.

00:19:41.160 The suspects, after nearly leaving one of their own behind, sped off in a black BMW X3.

00:19:50.400 Now you notice how these people, they, uh, first of all, they almost always run when they

00:19:58.140 encounter resistance. And I just love everything about that. Start shouting and screaming. It looks

00:20:03.040 like there are three of them there and they're all armed and they get, they get resistance and

00:20:09.140 they start running away. They try to ditch the one guy and he manages to, to jump in,

00:20:13.440 but helpfully they've backed into the parking spot and they're showing their, uh, their license plate

00:20:20.560 right to the security camera. So that was very helpful and nice of them. But this is what you,

00:20:26.400 you know, when you see these great videos of the would be victims refusing to be victims,

00:20:31.580 you, you, you almost always see this where the, the, uh, the predator, right, who has now become

00:20:38.460 the prey just collapses and runs away immediately. And why does that happen? It's because they're,

00:20:42.880 they're cowards. Um, it's also because they're not expecting resistance of any kind. They're not, 0.99

00:20:50.660 they're not expecting any sort of accountability at all. And that's thanks in large part to

00:20:56.540 what's happening in these cities, especially with the Marxist DAs who refuse to prosecute and punish

00:21:02.780 criminals. Many of those DAs installed with the help of George Soros, who, uh, just this week wrote

00:21:09.180 a defiant op-ed in the wall street journal doubling down and saying that he's not going to stop funding

00:21:14.920 these DAs, no matter how much violence and chaos and death and destruction and misery and suffering is

00:21:21.780 caused by all this. He's not going to stop. You know, he's going to keep doing it because

00:21:26.480 those things are, those are not bugs. Those are features. I mean, that's the point anyway. So

00:21:30.020 of course he's going to continue. I'm going to read a little bit from this op-ed from, um,

00:21:34.520 George Soros. He says, Americans desperately need a more thoughtful discussion about our response to

00:21:40.340 crime. People have had enough of the demagoguery and divisive partisan attacks that dominate the

00:21:45.020 debate and obscure the issues. Like most of us, I'm concerned about crime. One of government's

00:21:49.980 most important roles is to ensure public safety. I've been involved in efforts to reform the criminal

00:21:54.640 justice system for more than 30 years. And for the more than 30 years, I have been a philanthropist.

00:22:00.200 That's one way of putting, putting it. Yet our system is rife with injustices that make us all

00:22:06.980 less safe. The idea that we need to choose between justice and safety is false. They reinforce each

00:22:11.500 other. If people trust the justice system, it will work. And if the justice system works,

00:22:15.500 public safety will improve. We need to acknowledge that black people in the U S are five times as likely 0.96

00:22:20.320 to be sent to jail as white people. That is an injustice that undermines our democracy. 0.98

00:22:25.100 We spent $81 billion every year, keeping around 2 million people in prisons and jails.

00:22:30.160 We need to invest more in preventing crime with strategies that work, deploying mental health 1.00

00:22:34.480 professionals in crisis situations, investing in youth job programs, and creating opportunities for,

00:22:40.220 uh, education behind bars. Yeah, that's what we really needed. And that scene there where the

00:22:44.100 armed robbers come in, what, what we, what, what he should have done, what the guy should have done

00:22:48.720 rather than shooting them. He should have, uh, got on the horn right away with some mental health

00:22:53.640 professionals and maybe some, you know, uh, maybe some representatives of a job programs who can show

00:23:02.620 up and say, well, the only reason you guys are doing this is because you don't have, you can't get

00:23:05.520 a job, right? You're what was it that AOC said you're hungry for bread. Maybe have some baker show up

00:23:13.100 with a loaf of bread. Here you go. Um, a couple of points about this. First of all, it's only an

00:23:20.360 injustice that black people are more likely to be sent to jail if black people aren't more likely to 0.96

00:23:29.120 commit crimes that would put them in jail. So we hear this all the time that black people are, 0.98

00:23:35.340 whatever the number is, four or five times more likely to go to jail. And this is just presented 0.89

00:23:40.340 without any other context as clear evidence of racial injustice. But don't we need a little bit

00:23:46.080 more information? Now, if black people and white people statistically as a group were equally as

00:23:53.820 likely to commit violent crimes and were responsible for an equal proportion of violent crimes, and yet

00:23:59.180 you discovered that one group was incarcerated far more often than the other, then absolutely I would

00:24:05.300 be the first to say this is evidence that there's something, uh, horribly wrong here. And it's

00:24:10.340 probably evidence of racial injustice, but that's not what you find when you look at the numbers.

00:24:16.700 The crime rate between white and black people would have to be the same in order for the 1.00

00:24:22.360 incarceration rate to be unjust, but the crime rate is not the same. It's just simply not. And that's

00:24:30.480 all. And that, you know, we can take this logic and extend it to the 2 million people who are in jail

00:24:36.640 right now, white or black. Because that's the other thing we're always told, as George Soros does

00:24:43.240 here. So we got 2 million people in jail. Clearly that's, that's too many. We shouldn't have that

00:24:47.600 many people. Of course, you know, you notice they never tell us how many people they think should be

00:24:53.060 in jail. In a, in a country of 300 and whatever, 50 million, you're going on 350 million, uh, people,

00:24:59.740 how many should be in jail in your mind? Well, like a thousand, 10, what do you, what do you think is a

00:25:05.540 reasonable number? What, what number are you going to pull arbitrarily out of your hat?

00:25:10.800 But you've decided that 2 million is too many. Well, but that's only an, an example. That's only a

00:25:17.480 symptom of over-incarceration. If we are incarcerating people who are not dangerous criminals.

00:25:23.460 So if society is generally peaceful and safe, but there's a bunch of people in prison,

00:25:30.100 then maybe you might look at that and say, well, you know, what's going on? Do all these people

00:25:34.820 really need to be in prison? But given that our societies are descending, uh, our society and our

00:25:41.320 cities are descending ever further into violence and anarchy, the problem is clearly under-incarceration,

00:25:48.040 not over-incarceration. That is quite obviously the problem because all you have to do is walk

00:25:56.720 into any city and you're going to find that the streets are crawling with violent criminals who

00:26:02.100 should be in jail and are not. So that is an under-incarceration problem. We've got 2 million

00:26:07.020 people in jail. Um, that is a shocking number because it should be way higher than that. I don't

00:26:14.060 know what the number should be. Okay. I'm not going to come up with arbitrary numbers,

00:26:16.560 but certainly way higher. And my evidence is all the people in all these communities across America

00:26:25.920 that are committing violent crimes and are not in prison.

00:26:30.820 This is not what, what, you know, what you hear from the other side on this, the, uh, the side that

00:26:37.080 calls for criminal justice reform, which is another euphemism. I mean, I, I support criminal justice

00:26:42.480 reform too. I just think that it should be reformed the other way. You know, it should be reformed in

00:26:49.740 the direction of actually finding, detaining, punishing, and segregating from society, dangerous

00:26:58.780 criminals. That's what I, that's the kind of reform I would like to see. But the people who support so

00:27:05.040 called criminal justice reform and it's in, you know, uh, in its current state, this is not compassion.

00:27:12.200 Okay. This is not concern for their fellow man. This is nihilism. This is disregard for human life.

00:27:20.060 You know, George Soros is 6,000 years old, a billionaire living, you know, he's, I think he's

00:27:26.600 technically an American citizen. Um, I don't know how much time he actually spends in this country,

00:27:30.900 but he's not living in these, he's certainly not, he's certainly not spending any time in these

00:27:36.680 communities where these sorts of things are happening. He's not going anywhere near like a,

00:27:41.980 uh, a convenience store in, in, uh, the bad parts of Los Angeles, which, you know, the whole part is

00:27:48.160 all of Los Angeles is the bad part now, but he's not going anywhere near these, a convenience store

00:27:52.400 that might get robbed by three armed men. So it's really easy for him to sit back. The same for,

00:27:58.920 you know, all the elected Democrats and almost everyone on the left who calls for this. They're

00:28:04.220 not in these communities where these things are happening. And they're totally morally dead inside

00:28:11.000 because when you see all these crimes and, and so often now they're caught on video. In fact,

00:28:18.640 I just saw right before I went on the air, there's security camera footage of, uh, some,

00:28:23.640 some kids in what appears to be a suburban neighborhood at a lemonade stand were robbed

00:28:30.560 at gunpoint at a lemonade stand. Now, again, that's, that's a symptom of the under incarceration

00:28:37.860 problem. But when you see that you should be filled with rage, righteous rage and anger

00:28:47.460 at the predators who are victimizing these people, that's the feeling you should have.

00:28:56.500 If you immediately sympathize with the predator, then there's something wrong with you deeply.

00:29:03.700 And certainly with George Soros, who is, uh, just one of the worst human beings to have

00:29:07.560 been born in the past two centuries. It's, there are a few people who have done more damage

00:29:13.340 to human society than George Soros over the last 200 years, but it's, it's not a long list.

00:29:19.720 Um, and he's pretty high up on that list. 1.00

00:29:23.780 He's just a reptilian demon scumbag, this guy. 0.99

00:29:30.300 And he's, uh, and he lingers on. I think he's in his nineties now. 0.99

00:29:34.480 There's more evidence that the, uh, good die young as the saying goes.

00:29:39.280 All right, let's move to this. Some moments of cringe in the White House. Here's, uh,

00:29:42.980 we'll just play this for you. Karen Jean pair attempting to break the ice with a little bit 1.00

00:29:47.320 of humor. It doesn't go well though.

00:29:49.860 There was a video of him yesterday, FaceTiming with the folks, the veterans camping out on Capitol Hill.

00:29:55.200 We haven't seen anything from him today. Can you give us a sense of how he's doing,

00:29:59.980 um, with having to go back into isolation? I mean, is he frustrated, uh, and how is he dealing

00:30:08.220 with being away from the first lady for as long as he's been?

00:30:11.420 Well, the day's still young. You never know. Uh, um, but, um, look, the president,

00:30:17.300 I'm just making a joke. Clearly it was not funny.

00:30:22.380 Uh, I will try harder next time to be more funny. Um, but, um, uh, look, he is continuing

00:30:31.340 to work from the residents. Uh, and I just want to share, uh, as we all know, the president is

00:30:36.700 fully vaccinated. He's fully, uh, he's double boosted. He was on treatment for Paxlovid.

00:30:43.000 These people, they're, they're just, they're automatons. It was humor. I will attempt better

00:30:48.620 humor in the future. My humorous overtures seem to have not had the desired effect. I will

00:30:53.960 recalibrate. And then of course we're, we're assured that he's, well, he's been, he's been,

00:30:59.120 look, he gets vaccinated five times a day now and, uh, and continually gets COVID, but let's

00:31:05.180 not draw any conclusions about the vaccine. Obviously Kamala Harris is always ready with 0.98

00:31:09.220 the cringe herself. Here she is addressing the, uh, recent flooding in Kentucky. And, and she says

00:31:16.280 that, you know, there are, this could have been prevented flooding and rain could have been

00:31:22.700 prevented actually. Is it by building like a giant dome across the sky to stop the rain from falling

00:31:30.440 on, uh, on people? Well, let's find out. Go ahead. For years, our nation and many of us have

00:31:38.660 discussed, have lamented, have talked about the threat of climate change. For years, we debated the

00:31:47.040 potential impact that climate change could have on our communities, on our country and our world.

00:31:56.580 And today we know the impact. If folks weren't clear about it before, just watch the evening

00:32:02.840 news and see that the time for debate is long past.

00:32:15.180 Climate change has become a climate crisis. And a threat has now become a reality. In recent

00:32:26.180 days, deadly floods have swept through Missouri and Kentucky, washing away entire neighborhoods,

00:32:36.260 leaving at least 35 dead, including babies, children. As has been reported,

00:32:45.060 four children from one family. So the devastation is real. The harm is real. The impact is real.

00:32:58.060 And we are witnessing it in real time.

00:33:02.060 Hmm. Uh, yeah, the, the harm and devastation is real. That's, but that's the only bit of reality

00:33:08.060 that we heard in those remarks. And I'm, I'm really concerned that on the right, when we hear

00:33:14.880 something like what we just heard there, we don't react to it with the level of scorn and mockery and

00:33:23.200 derision that it deserves. In fact, this is, this is a common problem on, on the right, I think.

00:33:31.760 And some of it's understandable because you're constantly hearing so much insane,

00:33:36.200 rambling nonsense that you get desensitized to it after a while. But, but, um, no, when, when something

00:33:42.560 is completely absurd and ridiculous, the first and most immediate response should be mockery. And that's 0.73

00:33:48.420 what we should do when we hear a politician claiming that legislation could have stopped

00:33:54.920 the rain from falling. Okay. That's not just her point of view. This is not a, this is not a

00:34:03.500 differing, differing perspectives on an issue or anything like that. This is insane, pagan nonsense. 1.00

00:34:11.880 It would be no different if she were to have broke out into a rain dance right there on stage, 0.97

00:34:20.040 begging the rain gods to stop, um, dumping water onto the land. It would be, it would be equally as

00:34:28.560 absurd. In fact, maybe a little bit less so. Just think about what she's saying. Again, I know people

00:34:38.120 are desensitized to it, but think about it, that we could pass a law that will stop it from raining.

00:34:45.320 What? And not only that, by the way, but, um, that the law will have this effect in her mind,

00:34:55.740 like pretty, pretty, pretty quickly. Cause what she's saying is, well, if only this law had been passed,

00:35:01.740 you know, a month ago, then maybe this wouldn't have happened. Of course, never asked to explain

00:35:10.440 that. So you've got step one, pass a law, step two, question mark, step three, it stops raining.

00:35:19.720 Or we don't want it to stop raining completely, but it rains only just the amount that we need it to,

00:35:23.820 and not any more than, than we need it to. And obviously they're never, uh, required or,

00:35:30.040 or put in a position where they have to grapple with the fact that all of these devastating weather

00:35:35.780 events have been happening on the planet for billions of years. And they happened before

00:35:41.880 man even walked the planets. And so that is reason enough why you can't just point to every devastating

00:35:50.140 weather event and say that it's the result of man caused climate change. Because that is to suggest

00:35:56.820 that without so-called man made climate change, none of this would be happening. But we know that's

00:36:03.420 not true because it all did happen before there even was a human civilization.

00:36:10.160 Which means at best, some of this wouldn't be happening if it wasn't for us driving our SUVs

00:36:17.000 around. Like that's, that's as far as you can take the claim.

00:36:23.920 But then how do you know which ones? Like which, which hurricanes, which tornadoes, which tsunamis,

00:36:31.440 which floods, which floods would have happened anyway, as opposed to the ones that would not have

00:36:39.100 happened if not for, you know, our SUVs. Of course that'd be, that's impossible to determine.

00:36:44.980 So instead they just take this giant blanket and cover it over everything.

00:36:53.100 All right. This is from NBC Philadelphia. It says, following a high profile case of alleged

00:36:58.840 racial discrimination against two black girls, SeaWorld is being sued for other alleged instances

00:37:04.540 of pervasive and appalling discrimination against children at Sesame Place, Philadelphia.

00:37:10.120 So what, does SeaWorld own Sesame Place? I guess that's, okay. Yeah, they do.

00:37:14.980 So it says the plaintiffs named in the lawsuit are Baltimore, Maryland residents, Quinton Burns

00:37:19.760 and his five-year-old daughter, who allege that former four performers refused to engage with the

00:37:26.400 girl and other black children during a meet and greet last month. The performers did readily engage

00:37:31.120 with numerous white kids, according to the suit. William Murphy, one of the lawyers of the Burns

00:37:35.740 family says racism is horrible when it's perpetrated against adults, but it's in a separate category

00:37:41.220 altogether of horror when it's perpetrated against kids who can't fight back and who have to struggle

00:37:46.520 to understand how ugly it is and how it must be eliminated from every aspect of American life.

00:37:52.160 The plaintiffs are seeking at least $25 million in damages from SeaWorld Parks and Entertainment,

00:37:56.560 which owns Sesame Place, on behalf of all the black people who visited Sesame Place since July 27th,

00:38:02.540 2018. Oh, you got to love this. Well, you don't have to. I mean, really, you should hate it. But

00:38:07.280 so, and this obviously harkens back to what we talked about last week or a couple of weeks ago,

00:38:16.360 the five-second video of two young black girls who were at a parade at Sesame Place,

00:38:22.140 and we saw one of the Sesame Street mascots for one of the characters walked by the girls.

00:38:29.880 You know, because of course, it's at a parade, mascots never did. The normal thing at a parade is

00:38:34.680 that the mascot greets personally every single person in line, right? That's what usually happens,

00:38:40.880 supposedly. And because the mascot didn't notice these two girls, then that's obviously racism. 1.00

00:38:48.520 And that means that there has to be sensitivity training and lawsuits and everything else.

00:38:53.560 And now we've got someone jumping onto that bandwagon and saying, oh, I was at Sesame Place

00:38:57.900 too, and my daughter was ignored by some of the mascots. And so now this guy, he wants $25 million

00:39:05.680 because his five-year-old daughter didn't get a high five from a few mascots. And he wants it on

00:39:12.900 behalf of all the other black people who he just assumes were racially discriminated against.

00:39:18.520 And so if you're a black family that went to Sesame Place at any point since 2018,

00:39:24.120 good news, you will get justice for the non-existent racial discrimination you suffered

00:39:29.080 in the form of this one guy being made a millionaire. I'm sure that will assuage your anguish.

00:39:36.620 It's just out in the open. This is an out-in-the-open scam, a con artist. And this is what you're

00:39:44.980 able to do if you have all the victim points lined up. And it's not even something that needs to be

00:39:52.620 explained. I mean, if you've ever been with little kids to any kind of event, theme park, parade,

00:39:59.420 where there are mascots, you know that it is so incredibly common for the mascot to just walk by

00:40:05.880 and not notice. And usually what happens, because the people in that mascot suit, their field of

00:40:14.300 vision is very, very small. That's why usually they're carted around by somebody else. Usually

00:40:18.540 there's a guide walking with them, pulling them by the hand. And they're getting swamped by all these

00:40:25.360 little kids. It's 6,000 degrees inside that mascot suit. They're dying of dehydration

00:40:32.840 and heat exhaustion. And so they miss some of the kids. And normally when that happens and your child

00:40:39.780 is like a little bit disappointed, oh, I wanted to say hi to whoever, Spider-Man. Oh, he didn't

00:40:44.600 notice. It's okay. And then they get over it. Not now though. No, now rather than telling your kid

00:40:52.920 to cope with this minor disappointment, rather than helping them to cope with this minor disappointment,

00:41:00.140 because that's a skill that kids need in life. That's one of the most important skills that human

00:41:05.800 beings need to have in life. And if you want to be a functioning adult in the world, one of the most

00:41:11.720 important skills is to cope with disappointment. And fortunately, as a parent, you are given many

00:41:20.180 opportunities, many sort of small scale, low stakes opportunities to teach your kids that skill.

00:41:28.340 Because kids, they're very excitable and they get very into everything that they're doing. And that's

00:41:33.120 what's so wonderful about childhood. And so if they don't get their way about something, they'll be

00:41:38.640 very dejected for about 30 seconds. It's the worst thing that's ever happened to them. And then they move

00:41:43.600 on. And in that 30 seconds, you have an opportunity as an adult to teach your kid, oh, okay, well,

00:41:48.640 it didn't go exactly as you wanted. You wanted to say hello to Big Bird, and he didn't notice you.

00:41:53.460 And that's okay. It's going to be fine. If you want your kid to be a functioning adult.

00:41:59.640 But if you want your kid to be a professional victim, then no, you use all of those momentary

00:42:06.240 disappointments as an opportunity to validate your young child's most unreasonable perceptions.

00:42:15.520 And then you say, oh, Big Bird didn't notice you. Well, you're right. This is devastating. This is

00:42:22.520 the worst thing that's ever happened. This is the worst thing that's ever happened to anybody.

00:42:25.820 And they did it because you're black. You know that? They did it because they hate you because 0.99

00:42:29.020 for your skin color. Big Bird hates you. He's racist. That's what gets me about this. It's not, 0.94

00:42:35.000 you know, trying to scam Sesame Place or SeaWorld at a $25 million. I don't care about that. Go ahead.

00:42:41.900 You know, whatever. But the child abuse, the way you're abusing your child 0.69

00:42:48.420 and trying to turn your child into exactly the kind of self-victimizing, self-obsessed 0.99

00:42:58.920 parasite that you are, you know, that's what really gets me. That's what upsets me. 0.99

00:43:05.140 All right. Let's move to this. One last thing. Story from NBC. It says, celebrity chef Gordon

00:43:12.460 Ramsey is facing backlash on TikTok from some users after posting a video in which he appeared

00:43:17.900 to select a lamb to slaughter for a meal. On Thursday, Ramsey posted a video of himself

00:43:22.880 climbing into a pen of roughly 10 pristine white lamb. In the video, Ramsey rubs his hands together

00:43:28.360 while repeatedly saying, yummy. And some people on TikTok were apparently very upset about this.

00:43:34.120 First of all, I think we have that video. Can we play that?

00:43:37.700 I'm going to eat you. 0.99

00:43:42.580 Mmm. Yummy, yum, yum, yum, yum, yum. Yummy, yum, yum, yum, yum, yum, yum. Which one's going

00:43:50.660 in the oven first? You. Mmm.

00:43:58.640 Oven time.

00:43:59.660 All right. So you see that. And it's, I mean, it's, it's a little bit weird. I admit, I mean,

00:44:07.140 it's a little bit weird to baby talk your meal. Slightly strange, perhaps. I'm also not a chef.

00:44:14.160 I mean, he's a chef. So this is just, he gets really into his meals. And so that's what he does.

00:44:19.140 But aside from the commentary that he offers, I think people should realize that this is where

00:44:25.980 your food comes from. So the people on TikTok who are upset apparently are just learning where the

00:44:31.880 meat that they eat comes from. I guess they thought that it just materializes at the supermarket.

00:44:38.760 Just, there's a fairy who comes by with a magic wand and just a little bit of fairy pixie dust. And 0.93

00:44:45.360 oh, there it is. There's your lamb chop. No animals were hurt in the making of that lamb chop.

00:44:54.000 No, the food that you eat comes from animals who are killed. And that is, in fact, what sustains

00:45:02.440 probably your life. And it certainly sustains the lives of billions of people on earth. But here's the

00:45:09.260 good news. You know, because the argument against eating meat generally is that, at least the so-called

00:45:15.540 sort of ethical argument against it, is that we're no better than animals. Like, we're equal to them,

00:45:23.220 so we have no right to consume them. But that argument cuts us against itself, so to speak,

00:45:30.080 because, well, if we're no better than animals, this is exactly what animals do. They also eat each

00:45:35.520 other. So that's just more justification for continuing to do what we're doing. I mean, either

00:45:40.320 way, either we're equal to animals and no better than them, in which case, why should we hold ourselves

00:45:44.000 to a higher standard? Animals eat each other, feed off of each other than we can too. Or we're superior

00:45:48.860 to animals. We are a superior species on a hierarchy, and so therefore we have every moral right to use

00:45:56.580 them in this way. Either way, it comes back to enjoy your hamburger or your lamb chop, as the case may be.

00:46:05.520 Let's get to the comment section.

00:46:16.540 Lady S says, remember that story Matt told of how he ate the chicken nuggets his wife wanted to save

00:46:21.480 for their kids' lunch the next day? He ate it cold. Yep, he's president of the Husbands Eating the Food

00:46:26.780 the Wife Wanted to Save for the Kids Club. Oh, absolutely, I'm president of that club. I am a

00:46:31.360 I am a longtime member. I am a ranking member of that club, to the point now where my wife doesn't

00:46:39.080 even bother telling me, oh no, we're saving that food for whatever. Look, I think it's fair. If the

00:46:44.880 food's in the kitchen, if it's in the refrigerator, then it's fair game for me. Well, it's fair game for

00:46:50.540 me anyway, to eat. Jesse says, on an episode where you mentioned both gambling and the wildly

00:46:58.140 disparate punishments issued by the NFL for different offenses, I'd like to point out that

00:47:03.980 Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Calvin Ridley was suspended for the entire 2022 season for betting

00:47:10.160 fifteen hundred dollars on a game that didn't involve his team. That's a very good aspect of

00:47:16.980 the story to bring up. So Deshaun Watson is accused by 26 women of sexual assault, 26 massage therapists

00:47:27.100 of sexual assault, all telling strikingly similar stories. And he's going to get six games. And meanwhile,

00:47:35.480 there was a wide receiver for the Atlanta Falcons who bet on some games. His team wasn't involved in

00:47:40.300 the games. And he's suspended for the entire season. Yeah, I can't exactly make sense of that.

00:47:46.880 And I did get a little bit of pushback from some people talking about this yesterday.

00:47:50.920 I guess thinking that I was, you know, becoming a propagator of the Me Too movement because I was

00:48:00.300 suggesting that 26 accusations against Deshaun Watson does count as some kind of evidence because

00:48:07.860 it does. So when you say, well, there's no evidence against him. I mean, no, there is. I mean,

00:48:12.140 26 people accusing you of something is evidence. I'm not saying that it's decisive. I'm not saying

00:48:20.140 that it's 100 percent bulletproof, but it is evidence. And when it comes to the kind of accusation

00:48:26.840 being made, it's the only sort of evidence that could possibly exist. As I said yesterday,

00:48:31.460 if he did sexually assault any of the 26 women who accuse him, there couldn't be any physical

00:48:37.520 evidence of it based on what they're accusing him of doing, unless they got, you know, security

00:48:42.680 camera footage of it. But I don't think they have security cameras inside the room where they're

00:48:46.420 doing the massages. So if it happened, there's not going to be any physical evidence of it. The only

00:48:52.820 evidence that could exist is accusations. And this is often the case, by the way, for these sorts of

00:49:01.120 crimes when they're alleged. This is what makes them so hard to adjudicate. And this is one of the

00:49:06.140 reasons why false accusations are so damaging. But you get to a certain point. You know, I think of it

00:49:13.540 very similar to, you know, it's like Michael Jackson. People still, there are still people to defend

00:49:18.220 Michael Jackson. Even, even long since in the grave, they still feel the need to defend his good

00:49:24.340 name and say, oh no, he, he never molested any children. Yeah. But like through years of his life

00:49:30.840 for decades, this guy is accused by different children of, of, of child molestation. At a certain

00:49:38.460 point, you have to think like, are they all making it up? And if this is the kind of thing that can

00:49:44.640 happen to, like, why doesn't this happen to anybody else? Most of us can live our lives and

00:49:49.200 we're not going to have 26 women come out all at once and accuses of sexual assault. And we're not

00:49:54.960 going to have for decades at a time, different children coming out and making these kinds of

00:49:59.560 horrible accusations. So, you know, either it's that there's this conspiracy among dozens of people

00:50:07.180 or this one individual is in fact a scumbag, right? So with Deshaun Watson, somebody is lying. 0.99

00:50:16.560 It's either him or 26 women. It just kind of, you got to play the numbers game after a while in my 0.76

00:50:23.420 mind. All right. Um, AMV Life says, when you take the emotional aspect away from listening to what Matt

00:50:30.700 is saying in his discussion of the history of white slavery and the importance of integrating this

00:50:34.500 understanding with the current curriculum, you can't help but agree with his reasoning.

00:50:37.740 I learned something new today that shifted my understanding of the world I live in for the

00:50:40.560 better. And that alone is exactly why the topic of history of white slavery should receive equal

00:50:43.920 attention in regard to the moral blind spot of all of our ancestors' belief systems, as well as the

00:50:48.840 aspects of those belief systems that we all agree should not be repeated. Um, yeah. And, and,

00:50:55.540 you know, the discussion about slavery, it, it began as we talked yesterday about the existence of

00:51:02.060 white slaves because in fact, white people were enslaved also. Um, but this expands beyond that

00:51:09.640 also. You know, what we really need to talk about is the entire institution of slavery that,

00:51:18.260 that persisted for thousands of years. And that is actually, it's a very, um,

00:51:25.700 interesting conversation and an important one. Like it's actually, it's a fascinating question,

00:51:31.740 isn't it? How could it be? I mean, this, this thing that to all of us today is self seems so

00:51:38.440 self evidently wrong. Nobody needs to explain to us why slavery is wrong. We don't need that 0.83

00:51:44.980 explanation. We get it to us. It's self evident. It's intuitive. And yet for thousands of years,

00:51:52.440 almost no one saw that there was anything wrong with it. And not only that, but, um, you know,

00:52:00.580 it wasn't like slavery started as a germ of an idea and then spread to different civilizations from

00:52:05.620 that one starting point. It is civilizations that had never come in contact with each other that

00:52:09.580 were separated by oceans that were different in so many ways still had at least this one similarity

00:52:17.860 of slavery. You know, when Europeans went to, um, uh, went across the ocean to the, to the new world

00:52:27.240 and they encountered these Indian civilizations, there had been no contact between the two at all.

00:52:33.700 Um, a total, you know, it's, it's in many ways, it's like two aliens from different planets

00:52:40.380 meeting each other, except that they, they both knew what slavery was.

00:52:46.740 I mean, how is that? How could that have happened?

00:52:49.920 Well, we can't talk about that because we're supposed to own, there's this one sliver of

00:52:54.120 the conversation when it comes to slavery that we're supposed to be focused on. And that's the

00:52:57.980 problem. You know, recently we celebrated the one year anniversary of our podcast Morning Wire.

00:53:02.380 In this short period of time, it's become one of the top news podcasts. I suspect it's, uh,

00:53:06.980 because Morning Wire gives you all the news you need to know in 15 minutes or less without the

00:53:10.980 manufactured outrage. New episodes are available every morning, seven days a week, and they cover

00:53:15.320 the most important stories of the day. So check out Morning Wire on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Daily Wire

00:53:20.260 Plus, or wherever you listen to podcasts now. Now let's get to our daily cancellation.

00:53:29.040 Last week, the most overrated musical artist in history released a new album. Uh, no,

00:53:33.940 John Lennon did not rise from the grave. He is after all, only the second most overrated artist

00:53:38.380 in history. The crown belongs to the Queen Bee, Beyonce, whose mediocre talents cannot on their

00:53:44.060 own even begin to explain the worshipful praise her every breath receives. Now she's not a bad singer

00:53:50.160 exactly, and she is a relatively talented dancer, but there's nothing about her music, sound, or output

00:53:55.440 that significantly differentiates her from any other pop star. Yet music critics bow before her and recite

00:54:02.820 Psalms of Thanksgiving. Sometimes they have to contort themselves into even more tortured shapes,

00:54:07.680 however, as has been the case with her new album, Renaissance, which just came out last week.

00:54:12.120 She released the first single, Break My Soul, a few weeks ago, and it sounds, well, like this.

00:54:17.760 Now on the one hand, it's inspiring that she could compose a hit single on an old Casio keyboard that

00:54:41.420 she bought at a yard sale. But on the other hand, the song is just not very good. I mean,

00:54:45.980 it sounds both retro and perfunctory, like a filler song you might have heard dropped into

00:54:50.740 the middle of an Ace of Base album in 1995. Now it might make for some decent upbeat hold music,

00:54:56.020 the kind of a thing that keeps your spirits up while waiting for the Comcast customer service

00:55:00.080 agent to come back on the line and tell you that he can't fix whatever problem you're having with

00:55:04.040 your service. But it's certainly not the sort of music any normal person would want to sit and

00:55:08.580 listen to on purpose. And the whole album is apparently filled with stuff just like that,

00:55:13.300 which you can tell based on the hideous pretzel-like shapes critics are assuming in order to

00:55:18.520 give the record a positive review. I mean, they are desperate to find a way to positively review

00:55:23.880 this thing. The Atlantic, for example, calls the song, or rather the whole album, a mess,

00:55:30.360 says that the songs on the album clatter, wobble, and lurch, and derides the whole effort as indulgent,

00:55:36.300 childish, exhausting, and ridiculous, and yet uses these adjectives in an overall positive review.

00:55:44.600 The critic concludes, quote, but committing oneself to pleasure as fully as Beyonce has here 0.91

00:55:49.940 takes defiance and guts, and more deeply, faith in the preciousness of one's own experience.

00:55:56.520 Somehow, she has found a way to make messages of individual empowerment, which can be so trite in

00:56:01.600 pop, jolt, again. Plus, he notes the album is very gay, and so that earns it a five-star rating 1.00

00:56:08.140 all on its own. But even a big gay album, even one produced by Beyonce, the queen of all creation, 0.89

00:56:15.600 is not exempt from the woke mob. Beyonce's team this week had to release a statement

00:56:20.960 and retroactively change one of the songs on the album after receiving intense backlash

00:56:26.640 for the use of an ableist slur. As many outlets, including Yahoo, have reported,

00:56:32.460 the song Heated, off of the Renaissance album, contains the slur spaz, which Yahoo notes, quote,

00:56:40.020 is a derogatory term for spastic diplegia, a form of cerebral palsy, which makes it difficult

00:56:46.320 for people to control some muscles. Because obviously, you know, when someone uses the word spaz,

00:56:52.380 they're intending to refer to spastic diplegia. Indeed, they're intending to insult and demean 1.00

00:56:58.540 everybody with a spastic diplegia. This is obviously the meaning behind the word and 1.00

00:57:05.180 why it must be denounced and renounced and erased from any book, film, or song where it occurs.

00:57:11.300 Now, if this all sounds like deja vu to you, that's not because you're going insane. It's because

00:57:15.060 the world is going insane. Because yes, if you recall, Lizzo, another once immaculate and sinless

00:57:20.220 musical genius and poet, had to change one of her songs a couple of months ago because it also 1.00

00:57:24.640 contained the word that we've just decided now is a slur. Now, what this shows us is that wokeness

00:57:31.680 itself is now the god. Beyonce and her ilk have been basically demoted. They are now merely priests

00:57:40.080 and priestesses of the religion. They're not the gods themselves. All must bow before the woke altar 0.96

00:57:47.140 and make their offerings. Virtue signaling is a requirement from which none are exempt.

00:57:53.460 Now, this may seem like a positive development of sorts as it ensures that the people who promote

00:57:57.580 this ideology will be forced to take their own medicine, but it's less positive when you realize

00:58:02.600 that wokeness is mass hysteria now. It is just an avalanche of stupidity and insanity that nobody controls. 1.00

00:58:11.320 That, to me, was the most salient and important point in the latest controversy where people are once 1.00

00:58:16.160 again spazzing out over the stupidest imaginable thing. But then, I went and listened to the 0.98

00:58:22.280 portion of the song that contains this allegedly offensive lyric. My eardrums have yet to recover

00:58:28.680 from the experience, and now yours will suffer the same fate. I'm afraid. Here it is. Listen.

00:58:33.740 Listen.

00:58:34.740 Listen.

00:58:35.740 Listen.

00:58:36.740 Listen.

00:58:37.740 Listen.

00:58:38.740 Listen.

00:58:39.740 Listen.

00:58:40.740 Listen.

00:58:41.740 Listen.

00:58:42.740 Listen.

00:58:43.740 Listen.

00:58:44.740 Listen.

00:58:45.740 Listen.

00:58:46.740 Listen.

00:58:47.740 Listen.

00:58:48.740 Listen.

00:58:49.740 Listen.

00:58:50.740 Listen.

00:58:51.740 Listen.

00:58:52.740 Listen.

00:58:53.740 Listen.

00:58:54.740 Listen.

00:58:55.740 English.

00:58:56.740 Listen.

00:58:58.400 It was my lips.

00:59:10.740 Listen.

00:59:11.740 Sure.

00:59:12.740 Listen.

00:59:14.740 Now, when I hear lyrics like mmm yummy yummy yum, make that bummy heated, make a pretty

00:59:37.740 girl talk that whiskey till I'm tipsy, glitter on my kitty, cool it down down down my pretty 1.00

00:59:44.720 bad, bad, make the bad, bad glitchy, fine, fine, fine, fine, fine, fine, liberated living like

00:59:52.180 we ain't got time, yada, yada, yada, yada, yada, yada, yada, yada, yada, bomb, bomb, ca, ca, 1.00

00:59:58.500 spazzing on that ass, spaz on that ass, fan me quick girl, I need my glass. 1.00

01:00:03.440 When I hear those lyrics, I am not especially offended by the word spaz. 1.00

01:00:07.800 I can barely hear the word by the time we've made it to that part because I've been reduced

01:00:12.140 to a nearly catatonic state. 0.99

01:00:14.720 The idiocy in the song is so potent, so pure, so uncut that I have overdosed on it. 1.00

01:00:21.060 This is medical grade stupidity. 1.00

01:00:22.920 You can actually feel your head start to throb and burn as your brain cells self-immolate 1.00

01:00:28.540 in protest.

01:00:30.200 Listen to this on repeat for 30 minutes would have the same neurological effect as a lobotomy.

01:00:34.680 That's a scientific fact. 0.97

01:00:35.780 But even on just one brief listen, the song is dumb enough to provoke a full-fledged existential 0.87

01:00:41.560 crisis, causing the listener to question the very purpose and meaning of human existence. 0.96

01:00:46.940 It's the worst thing I've ever heard, and yet it's also indistinguishable from 95% of pop

01:00:53.340 music. 0.99

01:00:53.700 It all bleeds together into one putrid, toxic, malignant, cancerous lump. 1.00

01:00:58.680 Now, it seems trite, I understand, to complain about dumb pop music, but that's only because 0.99

01:01:06.960 we take for granted that most popular music will be aggressively, ear-bleedingly bad. 0.75

01:01:13.700 But we really shouldn't take this for granted. 0.95

01:01:15.700 It's a very modern predicament that most of our artists produce vulgar, inane, disgusting 0.99

01:01:21.060 rubbish that is essentially the auditory equivalent of drinking stagnant water out of a trash can 1.00

01:01:26.560 lid. 0.81

01:01:26.740 It was not always this way.

01:01:29.280 It wasn't.

01:01:30.240 Artists through history have had varying degrees of talent and genius, of course, but they've

01:01:34.780 all been artists, at least.

01:01:36.740 They have strived historically to produce things that are beautiful and true and important.

01:01:43.800 Artists have not historically been a class of wealthy, semi-literate, self-aggrandizing 0.88

01:01:48.260 donkeys.

01:01:49.320 This is a situation peculiar to the modern age. 0.79

01:01:52.060 And like most things that are peculiar to our age, we assume that it's always been this

01:01:56.940 way and will always remain this way.

01:01:58.820 And so we don't react to it the way we should.

01:02:00.640 And how should we react?

01:02:01.680 Well, probably the most reasonable response to a song like that is to vomit all over yourself.

01:02:05.920 But a slightly cleaner and more subtle reaction would be to recoil in disgust and to be offended,

01:02:12.180 not in a petty, oversensitive kind of way, but in the deeper and more righteous sense of

01:02:17.460 the term. 1.00

01:02:17.880 Offended by the vulgar stupidity and shamelessness of these pop industry parasites who wish to 1.00

01:02:23.680 make our children dumber while feeding on their souls and their minds like some kind of 1.00

01:02:27.880 brain-eating amoeba. 0.97

01:02:28.880 Most of all, we should dispense with the notion that art and beauty are entirely subjective.

01:02:36.060 They're not, right?

01:02:37.500 As if the Sistine Chapel and a smiley face smeared in feces on the wall of a padded cell

01:02:42.420 have equal artistic legitimacy, as if a sane person could be justified in preferring either

01:02:47.560 one.

01:02:49.480 No, far from subjective, beauty and art are transcendent.

01:02:55.980 I mean, beauty is truth.

01:02:57.820 It's eternal.

01:02:59.380 To understand this fact is to take one of the most important red pills you can take.

01:03:05.560 But you can't do that until you ditch all of this pop music garbage, starting with Beyonce, 1.00

01:03:12.840 who is awful and stupid and talentless and terrible. 1.00

01:03:18.520 And most especially today, she is canceled. 1.00

01:03:23.480 And we'll leave it there for today.
