The Matt Walsh Show - Matt Walsh Responds To His Haters Who Can’t Handle The Truth

00:00:00.000 You know, a lot of people have been mad at me this week.

00:00:02.700 Well, a lot of people are mad at me every week, but this is an especially mad week.

00:00:06.800 It's the kind of week where somebody tweeted, quote,

00:00:09.560 I'm praying that Matt Walsh gets into a fatal car accident.

00:00:12.720 And that tweet got like 150 likes before it was taken down.

00:00:16.740 And I know what you're thinking.

00:00:18.140 Only 150 likes?

00:00:19.540 That's disappointing.

00:00:21.060 We got to get those numbers up.

00:00:22.400 And I agree.

00:00:23.000 But again, the tweet was taken down.

00:00:24.160 That's not a bad tally for something that was only posted for a few hours.

00:00:27.300 So get off my case about it.

00:00:28.800 There was also another tweet that said simply, I can't wait for Matt Walsh to die.

00:00:34.320 And I appreciate that this guy is more open-minded.

00:00:36.880 You know, the other one only wants me to die in a car accident.

00:00:39.000 But this guy is open to really anything causing my death.

00:00:41.340 Shark attack, asteroid strike, spontaneous combustion.

00:00:43.800 He'll take anything.

00:00:44.580 And I really do appreciate that.

00:00:45.820 But in any case, people are especially upset at me this week, as best I can tell,

00:00:49.460 because I have been speaking out about the murder of Austin Metcalf.

00:00:52.920 And my take on the murder is that, first of all, it's bad,

00:00:55.940 which is already very controversial among a large number of leftists.

00:00:59.280 And also, second, I believe that his killing at the hands of Carmelo Anthony is part of a larger trend.

00:01:03.680 And the larger trend is that young black males like Carmelo Anthony are, well,

00:01:08.720 constantly killing people and committing other acts of violence.

00:01:11.920 Young black males are the most violent demographic in the country. 1.00

00:01:14.340 Hands down, no contest.

00:01:15.360 I think we should probably acknowledge that fact and start taking it seriously.

00:01:19.360 And this, in particular, is what seems to have angered so many people to the point that

00:01:23.240 some of them are wishing for my death.

00:01:25.740 Although, in fairness, most of them were wishing for my death before all of this.

00:01:28.340 So, really, it's just icing on the cake.

00:01:29.660 So, today, I want to go through and watch some of the angry videos that have been posted

00:01:34.320 responding to my comments on the Metcalf murder.

00:01:36.920 And we'll hear my critics out.

00:01:38.780 Find out if maybe they have any legitimate points to make.

00:01:41.120 Let's start with this video from a channel called Political Punk.

00:01:45.240 He's very offended.

00:01:46.940 Let's find out why.

00:01:48.800 Look at this tweet, man.

00:01:50.820 If I told you that a young man stabbed another young man to death for telling him he was in

00:01:54.980 the wrong seat, and then I told you that one young man in this altercation was white,

00:01:59.860 and the other black, and then I asked you to guess the race of the assailant, every single 0.65

00:02:04.320 person would know the answer immediately, Matt Walsh says.

00:02:08.640 Young black males are violent to a wildly, outrageously disproportionate degree. 1.00

00:02:14.560 That's just a fact, he says.

00:02:16.300 We all know it.

00:02:17.420 And it's time we speak honestly about it, or nothing will ever change.

00:02:21.320 Dude, this is like Jim Crow right here, bro. 0.66

00:02:24.840 And yet, like every mass shooter is whom is a white guy, right?

00:02:38.980 But dude, this is straight up Klan.

00:02:42.360 I mean, it's coming from Matt Walsh, who is basically straight up Klan. 0.55

00:02:47.980 But every mass shooter, every one of them is white. 0.92

00:02:53.320 Okay, now the claim that every mass shooter is white is one that will come up again in

00:02:56.720 these clips, so we'll save that for later.

00:02:58.260 It's not remotely true at all, spoiler alert, but we'll get to that in a few minutes.

00:03:01.880 He says that my point about the disproportionate violence of black males is straight up Klan stuff,

00:03:06.320 but you'll notice what he doesn't say.

00:03:07.420 He doesn't say that I'm wrong.

00:03:09.100 And this is another theme that will emerge when you point out the disproportionate violence

00:03:12.360 of black males.

00:03:13.100 Leftists will get offended.

00:03:13.960 They'll call you names.

00:03:14.620 They'll say you're racist.

00:03:15.560 They'll deflect.

00:03:16.380 They'll talk about white school shooters and mass shooters and so on.

00:03:19.380 But what they won't do, because they can't do it, is present any data that contradicts

00:03:25.280 the claim itself.

00:03:26.300 What they won't do is say, hey, let's look at the numbers.

00:03:28.920 I'm going to show you that young black males are not disproportionately violent.

00:03:35.040 They won't do that because it's just simply the case that black males are disproportionately

00:03:38.740 violent, and they just demand that we don't notice it.

00:03:42.900 And there's a lot that this next person doesn't want us to notice.

00:03:47.520 This is someone calling himself intelligent hood genius, so you know it's going to be 0.98

00:03:51.500 good.

00:03:52.180 Let's listen.

00:03:53.660 White people, black people are violent. 1.00

00:03:56.260 Black men are violent. 1.00

00:03:57.560 I'm trying to, I'm confused.

00:04:00.340 And what clowns like Matt Walsh want to do is just put up a narrative.

00:04:04.160 This ain't got nothing to do with race.

00:04:06.200 This is, this was supposed to, like I said, this is someone who was aggressive, was met

00:04:12.860 with aggression.

00:04:13.900 When you know how to talk, all he had to do was, yo, you don't belong here.

00:04:18.500 You know, da-da-da-da, woo-woo, hey man, you know, this is our thing.

00:04:22.420 This, that, and third.

00:04:24.680 You got to go, man.

00:04:25.680 This is where we, this is where we at.

00:04:26.980 This is our tit or whatever.

00:04:29.160 This is where our stuff at.

00:04:30.440 You know, you don't belong here.

00:04:31.520 You know what I mean?

00:04:34.320 It could have been that simple.

00:04:37.820 It could have been that simple.

00:04:40.680 And maybe the young man would have got up and left, but you don't know that because if

00:04:44.300 you just come out being disrespectful and coming with that aggression, man, you better

00:04:48.740 get your ass away from here. 0.99

00:04:50.260 Mother, you better leave. 1.00

00:04:51.300 You better move.

00:04:51.700 This is our tent.

00:04:52.440 What the fuck you doing here?

00:04:53.700 Da-da-da-da. 0.81

00:04:55.120 Now it's, it's not a, now it's, oh well, make me leave.

00:04:58.100 Like, since you want to come like you want, like you want to bully me or something like

00:05:02.240 that.

00:05:03.340 Okay.

00:05:03.740 All right.

00:05:04.460 Well, yeah, yeah.

00:05:05.320 Well, you know what?

00:05:06.020 I'm coming.

00:05:06.580 I'm going to push you out the way.

00:05:07.780 I'm going to push you.

00:05:08.540 And then you come pushing and shoving.

00:05:10.000 You keep touching me.

00:05:11.000 Put your hands on me. 0.78

00:05:12.180 Keep touching.

00:05:12.840 And then I pull, he pull a knife out and stab you in the chest.

00:05:15.120 Now you want to cry wolf.

00:05:17.520 Like I say, on the, in the streets, that's, that's justified.

00:05:21.360 But in the court of law, it's not going to be self-defense.

00:05:25.320 And the young man made a mistake.

00:05:28.100 He made a, he made a mistake.

00:05:30.760 You know what I mean?

00:05:31.500 And he only stabbed him one time.

00:05:32.980 So he was obvious.

00:05:33.800 Wasn't really trying to, and you know, he made a mistake and it was uncalled for.

00:05:40.700 And he shouldn't have had that knife with him.

00:05:44.000 Uncalled for.

00:05:46.460 Understanding it slightly.

00:05:47.600 Now you say he made a mistake by stabbing Austin.

00:05:50.360 No, sir.

00:05:51.100 A mistake is opening your car door too wide and scratching the car next to you in the

00:05:54.520 parking lot.

00:05:54.880 A mistake is turning a corner in a hallway and bumping into somebody.

00:05:58.100 Stabbing a guy directly in the heart is not a mistake.

00:06:00.900 It's a deliberate and premeditated act of homicide.

00:06:04.120 The fact that he only stabbed him once in the heart is irrelevant.

00:06:08.400 I mean, that's like saying, well, he only cut his head off once, right?

00:06:11.900 It only takes once.

00:06:14.780 Second, you say that stabbing a guy for disrespecting you is justified in the streets.

00:06:21.420 Yes, exactly.

00:06:23.260 That's exactly what I'm talking about.

00:06:26.240 That is precisely the problem.

00:06:28.060 The fact that stabbing a guy and killing him is considered justified in the streets is

00:06:34.740 the entire point that I'm trying to make.

00:06:36.920 Because when you say in the streets, what you really mean is in black culture. 0.92

00:06:40.460 Now, because I know you don't mean necessarily in the literal physical streets, although maybe

00:06:46.800 there too.

00:06:48.320 And you're definitely not talking about in the streets of a white upper middle class neighborhood.

00:06:52.160 No, you're talking about in a black neighborhood, in the streets of a black neighborhood.

00:06:56.980 In a black neighborhood, according to you, it is justified to kill a man for perceived 1.00

00:07:01.680 disrespect.

00:07:03.800 Yes, and that's the problem.

00:07:05.520 That's the problem with the streets, isn't it?

00:07:09.160 Next, we have a guy named Alfonso, who I guess, from what I could tell, fashions himself

00:07:13.080 some kind of conservative.

00:07:14.240 But he's very upset with me also and says that I am, in fact, a liability, whatever that

00:07:18.740 means.

00:07:19.620 But let's listen.

00:07:22.160 Matt Walsh is a liability in terms of the so-called race narrative, okay?

00:07:28.100 Long story short, as far as Matt Walsh is concerned, black folks just have this innate 1.00

00:07:32.760 problem of being violent, okay?

00:07:35.700 That's how Matt Walsh wants you to perceive us.

00:07:40.200 Now, Matt wants to, I guess he's, hey, man, he's the authority on what it is to be black 1.00

00:07:49.660 and how we're supposed to behave, and I'm pretty sure the bell curve satisfies him and

00:07:53.940 stuff like that.

00:07:54.820 But what Matt Walsh fails to point out to y'all is who has control of the black community.

00:08:02.200 Well, that would be the Democrat Party.

00:08:04.220 All right?

00:08:04.740 Black folks ain't this way just because it's just something in our genes.

00:08:08.160 I mean, heck, man, if you want, it's funny how you want to make it out to be that this

00:08:13.180 is a problem with black folks, the world over, you know who they're afraid of the most? 0.98

00:08:17.160 White people. 0.69

00:08:18.540 They're afraid of white people the most.

00:08:21.220 I'm not saying that it's justified, but heck, man, when you consider the Nazis, when you 0.55

00:08:27.760 consider, I don't know, the Vikings, when you consider the KKK that we had here, the stigma

00:08:35.300 that's on white people, that's something that they did to themselves.

00:08:39.840 Well, Alfonso, if you're still worried about a ship full of Vikings showing up and ransacking

00:08:47.440 your village, that's really a you problem.

00:08:50.980 And I'd say the same if you're worried about the Nazis or the KKK.

00:08:54.160 Hey, Alfonso, do you have any examples of the white menace from this century? 0.96

00:08:59.400 You gave me one from about 10 centuries ago, and then two others that haven't been relevant

00:09:03.740 since before the middle of the last century.

00:09:06.140 And by the way, if we're blaming white people for the Nazis, we also have to give white people 0.84

00:09:08.820 credit for beating the Nazis.

00:09:10.600 So it's basically a wash in that case.

00:09:13.180 Historically speaking, it's just not remotely true that white people have been the most violent

00:09:17.920 or uniquely violent.

00:09:19.640 That is a fantasy that you keep alive in your head, Alfonso, because you've never read

00:09:23.900 a history book in your life.

00:09:25.520 Non-white regions of the world have been very, very violent since the beginning of recorded 1.00

00:09:29.100 history and long before that.

00:09:30.340 And by the way, do you know who first abolished slavery?

00:09:34.280 Do you know who, in fact, abolished slavery over the objections of Africans and Arabs?

00:09:38.740 That would be white Europeans. 0.94

00:09:42.020 Now, as for the violence in the black community being the fault of Democrats, I certainly agree 1.00

00:09:45.460 that Democrat policies have made everything worse.

00:09:48.000 You will not hear any objections from me on that point.

00:09:50.620 But I noticed that in your analysis of who is to blame for violence in the black community,

00:09:54.500 the one group you seem to have let off the hook is the black community.

00:09:58.780 But we got you talking about Democrats and Vikings, and you're going all the way back

00:10:02.000 a thousand years to look for.

00:10:04.220 What about the actual people in these communities?

00:10:07.340 Is it crazy to suggest that perhaps black people are also responsible for violence committed

00:10:11.340 by black people?

00:10:12.680 Is there any connection here at all that you might notice?

00:10:18.280 You just said that, you know, the alleged reputation that white people have for violence

00:10:23.800 is one that we did to ourselves, quote unquote, because of the Vikings a thousand years ago.

00:10:27.780 So let me get this straight.

00:10:28.980 White people are responsible for our supposed reputation for violence, but black people 1.00

00:10:32.720 aren't responsible for theirs.

00:10:34.220 I'm more responsible for the raping and pillaging done by Viking warriors in the year 950 AD than 1.00

00:10:39.600 the black community is for the raping and pillaging done by black criminals in the current 1.00

00:10:42.980 year we're actually living in.

00:10:44.140 Does that make sense to you, Alfonso?

00:10:48.560 If Democrat leaders in predominantly black cities are bad, and they are, who elected them? 0.89

00:10:54.360 Who are the voters electing these incompetent people to lead them?

00:10:58.840 If a politician in a predominantly black city runs on a platform of law and order, he will lose. 0.96

00:11:06.480 Why is that?

00:11:07.500 Who are the voters who automatically reject any political leader who promises to actually

00:11:12.580 arrest criminals and punish them?

00:11:15.340 And if fatherless homes are a major driver of crime in the black community, and they 1.00

00:11:18.660 are, who are the fathers abandoning their families?

00:11:20.780 Who are the mothers going around and sleeping with men that they aren't married to? 1.00

00:11:23.940 These are self-inflicted problems.

00:11:25.600 And if you aren't ready to admit that, then you aren't ready to have this conversation at

00:11:29.620 all.

00:11:30.060 Have you ever come across someone saying that capitalism is evil or something similar, maybe

00:11:33.800 in a video, online, on TV, or just talking with someone?

00:11:37.260 What was your reaction if you did?

00:11:38.580 When did capitalism become such a hot-button issue anyway?

00:11:41.340 Well, it seems like people have such strong opinions about it and very little understanding

00:11:45.020 of capitalism as a whole.

00:11:46.460 Luckily, if you're looking to expand your knowledge and horizons on a broad range of

00:11:50.260 topics, including subjects like capitalism, Hillsdale College is offering more than 40 free

00:11:55.340 online courses.

00:11:56.040 That's right, completely free.

00:11:58.620 You'll learn about the United States Constitution, explore stories from the Book of Genesis, discover

00:12:02.120 the rise and fall of the Roman Republic, or even study the history of the ancient Christian

00:12:05.540 church.

00:12:06.160 I do recommend watching their new course, Understanding Capitalism.

00:12:09.500 In just seven lectures, you'll learn about the role of profit and loss, how human nature

00:12:13.400 shapes our economy, and why capitalism depends on private property rights, the rule of law,

00:12:18.140 and freedom.

00:12:19.100 You'll also discover why capitalism actually encourages morality rather than undermining it,

00:12:23.620 like today's varying political agendas would have you believe.

00:12:26.740 Understanding economics and capitalism empowers individuals and societies to make informed

00:12:30.560 decisions, evaluate policy impacts, anticipate market changes, and ultimately create more

00:12:35.180 prosperous communities.

00:12:36.600 Go right now to hillsdale.edu slash walsh to enroll in this course, Understanding Capitalism.

00:12:47.080 Here's a video from an account that, and I just like this one because the account is called

00:12:50.660 Empathy Wins, but it apparently did not win in this video.

00:12:54.580 Watch.

00:12:55.000 Matt Walsh and all of America know that most school shooters are young white men.

00:13:00.480 Matt Walsh and all of America know that most serial killers in the United States are white

00:13:05.260 men.

00:13:05.880 So much so that our own writers of horror fiction are always casting the slasher in a slasher

00:13:13.620 film as a white man to match the statistics.

00:13:17.040 Um, I'm sorry, let me see if I have this right.

00:13:22.520 You think that when Hollywood is making slasher horror films, that they are studiously making

00:13:28.460 sure that the proportion of white killers in those movies matches real life crime statistics?

00:13:34.620 That's how you think this works?

00:13:36.340 You think Friday the 13th is a documentary?

00:13:40.140 Well, just to clear things up, no, that's not how it works.

00:13:42.860 Hollywood always casts white men as the killers because if they cast black villains, then people 0.78

00:13:49.240 like you will throw a hissy fit. 0.54

00:13:51.440 If there was a slasher horror film where you've got a black killer killing white people, people 0.99

00:13:59.040 like you would lose your minds.

00:14:01.580 Unless at the end of it, it turns out that the black killer was justified because all 1.00

00:14:04.600 the people that he was killing were racist.

00:14:06.040 That's the only time that it would be okay.

00:14:07.840 In reality, according to the Radford University FGCU serial killer database, between

00:14:12.780 the years of 1900 and 2010, 52% of serial killers were white and 40% were black.

00:14:18.080 That means that black people are hugely overrepresented among serial killers and whites are

00:14:22.720 underrepresented, which means that there are more black serial killers per capita than

00:14:26.120 white, actually.

00:14:26.820 In fact, two of the deadliest serial killers this century were the Beltway Snipers, which

00:14:31.760 I remember that well because I lived in that general area when this was happening, shot

00:14:36.080 and killed 17 people in 2002.

00:14:38.500 They were both black.

00:14:40.100 So your facts are just wrong.

00:14:41.540 Now, there's not much else to say.

00:14:43.480 Let's play one more so that now we can finally deal with, because this has come up in almost

00:14:48.860 every video now, is the mass shooters.

00:14:50.260 Mass shooters, mass shooters, mass shooters are white. 0.99

00:14:52.580 So we'll finally deal with that claim.

00:14:55.580 Watch.

00:14:56.820 Matt Walsh is a bloated, rotten corpse, but he is a perfect reflection of everything wrong

00:15:02.620 with American conservatives and American racists.

00:15:06.080 Because white people shoot up schools at a larger percentage than anyone else. 0.64

00:15:11.060 But if I go around assuming that white culture leads to school shootings, that would be an 0.84

00:15:17.660 insane statement to make.

00:15:19.000 But it's not insane that when one boy, teenage boy, stabs another teenage boy to defunct an

00:15:26.940 entire culture of people, that's not insane.

00:15:31.040 White people are the only ones allowed to be individuals who have their own problems and 0.99

00:15:36.220 who can be blamed individually for issues.

00:15:38.080 Because the moment a black person does anything wrong, now the whole black race has to jump 1.00

00:15:43.400 in.

00:15:45.160 All right.

00:15:46.000 You know, of course, white people are never blamed for anything as a group.

00:15:50.460 That never happens.

00:15:51.880 When's the last time you heard anyone blame white people as a group?

00:15:54.280 You know, it's like, it's not like blaming white people as a group is the favorite pastime

00:15:58.800 of people like the one in that video there.

00:16:01.780 Okay.

00:16:02.300 As for mass shootings, according to a Washington Post database, 38% of mass shooters, 38% are

00:16:10.740 white, which means again, that white people are vastly underrepresented among mass shooters.

00:16:18.200 29% are black, which means black people are again, greatly overrepresented.

00:16:22.760 There are more black mass shooters per capita than there are white.

00:16:27.920 And get this, if you narrow it down to school shootings in particular, meaning shootings that

00:16:33.520 happen at a school, right?

00:16:35.460 That's a school shooting, shooting at a school, regardless of the casualty count, shooting at

00:16:39.900 a school.

00:16:40.800 Well, you'll find that according to a 2023 study titled Characteristics and Obtainment

00:16:44.140 Methods of Firearms Used in Adolescent School Shootings, 58% of school shooters were black.

00:16:50.380 Only 28% were white.

00:16:52.580 Again, there are more, many more black school shooters per capita than white.

00:16:57.360 In fact, not even per capita with school shooters.

00:16:59.640 There are more black school shooters, period, than white.

00:17:02.760 So, those are the facts.

00:17:07.040 And going back to the other video about Hollywood and movies, the fact that everyone assumes

00:17:14.040 that all mass shooters and all school shooters are white, that it's a uniquely white thing, 0.90

00:17:19.640 or that white people are more likely to be mass shooters or school shooters, people assume

00:17:23.220 that entirely because of Hollywood movies portraying it that way, and because the news media will

00:17:31.000 just ignore mass shootings and even school shootings that are perpetrated by non-white 1.00

00:17:37.280 people for the most part.

00:17:39.840 So, am I accusing black culture of cultivating violence because of one stabbing? 0.72

00:17:44.400 No.

00:17:44.820 I'm accusing it of cultivating violence because literally every category of violence, no matter

00:17:49.180 how you break it down, is led by the black community.

00:17:52.440 I'm accusing it of cultivating violence because black people are only 13% of the population, 1.00

00:17:55.640 but more than half of all murderers.

00:17:58.060 You know, if only 13% of murder suspects were black, we wouldn't be having this conversation.

00:18:02.260 If it was even 15% or 20%, it probably wouldn't be enough of a disparity to be worth pointing

00:18:06.780 out.

00:18:07.020 But we're not talking about that.

00:18:08.080 We're talking about half, 50%, half from 13% of the population.

00:18:14.340 That is a staggering number.

00:18:15.700 That's historic.

00:18:16.420 It's mind-boggling.

00:18:17.240 It's baffling.

00:18:17.760 It's unprecedented.

00:18:19.180 Now, I wish that the numbers were not like this.

00:18:28.860 Despite how I am portrayed by people like the ones in these videos, I don't want this

00:18:36.460 to be the case.

00:18:37.060 I wish we didn't have to talk about this.

00:18:39.000 I wish it wasn't as bad as this.

00:18:41.060 I wish it wasn't the case that every majority black community in the country is plagued by

00:18:44.620 violent crime.

00:18:45.040 I wish it wasn't the case that as a neighborhood or shopping mall or movie theater or any

00:18:49.160 thing attracts more black people.

00:18:51.340 It also, in every case, every time becomes less safe and more crime ridden.

00:18:54.380 I wish that wasn't true.

00:18:56.760 But it just is true. 0.87

00:18:58.960 And you can have the courage to face it, or you can cover your eyes and plug your ears

00:19:04.400 and shout the word racist at anyone who tries to talk about it.

00:19:07.560 And that's why all the people screaming at me for being honest about these issues are today canceled.

00:19:37.560 So, I'll see you.

00:19:37.940 You
