The Matt Walsh Show - Matt Walsh Reviews The Worst Moments In Pop Culture

00:00:00.000 to love people and to protect people it's like k-pop right but it's gay pop 0.98

00:00:07.720 the oscars were held last night it was an event that passed almost an almost entirely without

00:00:17.120 notice if not for one incident which we'll discuss in a moment before we get there it's

00:00:22.000 worth reflecting on the fact that award shows used to be ratings bonanzas i mean there was a

00:00:27.120 time in the not too distant past when 40 million people 50 million people would sit around their

00:00:32.300 televisions on a sunday night and watch a bunch of wealthy drug addicts give themselves awards for

00:00:37.300 five hours those days are long gone soon the era of televised award shows will be officially over

00:00:43.760 they'll no longer exist at all and our children will look at us with bewilderment when we explain

00:00:48.980 that once upon a time we used to actually watch celebrities give speeches about how great

00:00:53.680 celebrities are they will certainly find that confusing i have always found it confusing and

00:00:58.520 i live through that era in history myself last night judging by the clips that i saw online anyway

00:01:03.340 because of course i didn't like everybody else i didn't actually watch the show uh they kick things

00:01:07.020 off by going political right away wasting no time just planting the flag right away this is what it's

00:01:12.360 about and of course the first item on the woke agenda was to virtue signal about the fictional

00:01:17.060 don't say gay bill that leftists have invented watch we're gonna have a great night uh tonight and for

00:01:24.600 you people in florida we're gonna have a gay night 0.87

00:01:27.820 what courage what courage i mean it's hard to fathom the bravery required to stand on stage 0.76

00:01:48.740 in front of a room full of gay people and say the word gay over and over again this is this is what

00:01:55.180 heroism is all about and they kept playing the hits you know later in the monologue monologue they

00:01:59.700 threw in a bit about toxic masculinity and also mitch mcconnell listen you know this year we saw a 0.98

00:02:07.120 frightening display of how toxic masculinity turns into cruelty towards women and children damn that mitch 1.00

00:02:14.080 mcconnell i know yeah because when you think of toxic masculinity the first person that comes to mind is 0.96

00:02:22.060 mitch mcconnell a little later in the night hispanic actor uh john liguizamo took the stage to applaud

00:02:30.640 hollywood's representation and all of the beautiful latinx faces listen

00:02:36.940 look at all these beautiful faces out here all these beautiful latinx faces we got great representation

00:02:44.440 here tonight people oh sorry not not latinx latinx yeah uh i always forget how to pronounce that made

00:02:51.600 upward i'm not exactly sure what a what a latinx face looks like seeing as how there's no such thing

00:02:56.160 as a latinx person latinx at best sounds like the name of a of a hispanic only fans site it's certainly

00:03:03.780 not the name for a group of people especially because if this sort of thing is important to you

00:03:08.020 there are already numerous gender neutral terms available to describe that group terms like hispanic

00:03:14.180 or even just latinx but again wokeness is insular self-referential it's gibberish to anyone who is 0.61

00:03:21.480 not already fully indoctrinated into it that's why the left has to work so hard and so desperately

00:03:27.040 to indoctrinate children into the cult because they know that adults who grew up in saner times are

00:03:32.980 increasingly turned off by this sort of thing and are rapidly tuning it out in a literal sense when it

00:03:38.300 comes to the oscars that is people were tuned out until the smack heard around the world now you've

00:03:45.080 no doubt already seen this clip but let's all watch it again for entertainment's sake if nothing else

00:03:49.620 watch he is praying that will smith wins like please lord jada i love you gi jane 2 can't wait to see it

00:04:01.540 okay i'm out here oh richard oh wow wow will smith just smacked the out of me

00:04:24.320 keep my wife's name out your mouth wow dude yeah it was a gi jane joke keep my wife's name out your 0.93

00:04:38.520 mouth i'm going to okay

00:04:41.760 so i can oh okay

00:04:45.320 that was a greatest night in the history of television okay

00:04:52.200 truly the most atrocious thing will smith has done since the aladdin remake uh it's i mean he

00:05:00.900 this guy learned nothing at all after spending all that time with his auntie and uncle in bel-air

00:05:04.660 on the positive side however smith's physical assault of chris rock completely overshadowed

00:05:10.460 and drowned out all of the virtue signaling that came before it you know all this like lgbt stuff 1.00

00:05:14.920 they had all the ukraine stuff and like all that's out the window the celebrities in attendance wanted

00:05:20.040 the story to be about them heroically chanting the word gay wearing blue ribbons in support of ukraine

00:05:25.660 they didn't want this to be the story that's also why you shouldn't buy into any conspiracy theories

00:05:29.740 that the incident was staged okay it it was not that's that's a more absurd

00:05:34.080 idea than the incident itself was now maybe the vma circa 1997 may have staged something like this

00:05:41.740 but not the woke oscars of 2022

00:05:43.600 this is entirely real and we should admit the most entertaining thing that's happened at any award

00:05:49.400 show in at least 25 years personally i might actually start watching these things if the whole

00:05:53.360 show was just a bunch of celebrities beating the hell out of each other on stage like a really well

00:05:57.640 dressed version of celebrity death match but as fun as it may be to watch that was nonetheless a

00:06:04.100 physical assault which was committed on national television in front of literally dozens of viewers

00:06:09.540 something tells me that if you or i had walked onto stage during an event of that kind

00:06:14.960 or any other kind and committed assault against a presenter right in front of everybody we'd be in

00:06:21.520 handcuffs within 15 seconds instead will smith sat back down enjoyed the rest of the show even one

00:06:27.960 best actor later in the evening where he proceeded to cry and paint himself as the victim of the physical

00:06:33.960 assault that he just committed listen richard williams um was a fierce defender of his family

00:06:46.860 i'm being called on in my life

00:06:56.440 to love people

00:07:01.600 and to protect people

00:07:05.900 and to be a river to my people

00:07:10.460 i mean scientology really messes with your brain uh just don't don't try it kids even once

00:07:15.680 only in hollywood can a man assault another man and then 20 minutes later give a tearful speech about

00:07:21.960 the power of love

00:07:23.000 i'm a river to my people by smacking chris rock

00:07:27.260 also keep something else in mind will smith and this is the most important thing about this incident to keep in mind

00:07:32.560 um he has bragged publicly on multiple occasions about the fact that his wife sleeps with other men

00:07:37.680 he has long been out of the cuckold closet very open about the fact

00:07:42.260 fact that his wife enjoys jumping in bed with strange men

00:07:45.160 so any temptation you might feel to take his side

00:07:48.060 to argue that this was a husband defending his wife's honor

00:07:51.340 as i've seen like a few people a few conservatives even have said well this is

00:07:54.960 this is right this is traditional values

00:07:57.200 the traditional values

00:07:58.380 he's in an open he's a cuckold in an open marriage 0.81

00:08:01.060 with this woman 0.94

00:08:01.820 he laughed at the joke at first

00:08:03.920 and then looked over at his wife scowling and said uh-oh

00:08:06.520 this was him

00:08:08.040 doing it primarily

00:08:10.080 as this was another act of

00:08:12.520 of emasculation by him

00:08:14.280 and any

00:08:16.620 temptation you have

00:08:19.160 to defend him must be mitigated by the fact that to will smith

00:08:21.720 defending his wife's honor does not include 0.84

00:08:24.040 preventing other men from having sex with her 0.52

00:08:26.480 so you can 0.96

00:08:28.060 you dare not joke about his wife 1.00

00:08:31.120 but you can have sex with her 1.00

00:08:32.420 now that's a man of principle 1.00

00:08:33.620 as a cuckold there's no honor left to defend

00:08:37.100 he doesn't have any

00:08:38.220 neither does she

00:08:39.120 how can he defend what doesn't exist

00:08:41.640 but then again they did award best picture to a movie that doesn't exist so

00:08:45.820 who knows anymore

00:08:46.580 it's clear that the smack was not an honorable man fiercely defending his wife from an extremely mild joke about her hair it was rather a privileged yet broken and emasculated man lashing out like a spoiled child and doing what no normal person in this country would be allowed to do and get away with it

00:09:02.900 he did what he did for his own sake because he could

00:09:06.580 later that night he was filmed at an after party dancing and singing while a crowd cheered him on

00:09:12.980 you or i would be sitting in a jail cell right now still

00:09:16.740 he was at an oscars party prancing around with his golden statue

00:09:21.020 apparently the trauma he suffered from chris rock's joke

00:09:24.640 was not enough to prevent him from dancing

00:09:27.020 you know a golden statue can heal even the deepest wounds i suppose

00:09:30.740 now given that this was black on black violence and both men involved are fairly liberal

00:09:36.360 you may be wondering whose side the woke crowd would take

00:09:39.960 because it's not maybe not a not immediately clear how this is all going to shake out

00:09:43.700 but then when you think about it there's no real mystery

00:09:46.400 one of the central tenets of leftism

00:09:49.060 is that words especially words in the form of jokes are violence

00:09:53.020 i mean they hate stand-up comedians the most

00:09:57.040 and so of course assaulting a stand-up comedian

00:09:59.240 they love that

00:10:00.240 the emerging consensus on the left

00:10:02.940 therefore is that will smith was justified because chris rock's joke

00:10:06.500 was a form of violence this was self-defense

00:10:08.960 against a violent attack by a comedian

00:10:11.500 that's the justification anyway as offered even by prominent politicians like ayana presley and jamal bowman

00:10:18.620 but the real justification is that will smith is a non-white left-wing hollywood celebrity

00:10:24.400 and so he's allowed to do things that the rest of us peons cannot do

00:10:28.140 that is the privilege of leftism

00:10:30.580 an ideology that in so many ways exists in its own universe

00:10:35.280 have you ever come across someone saying that capitalism is evil or something similar to that

00:10:39.920 maybe in a video online or on tv or just talking to somebody

00:10:42.600 what was your reaction if you did

00:10:44.160 when did capitalism become such a hot-button issue anyway

00:10:47.120 it seems like people have strong opinions about it

00:10:49.400 and very little understanding of capitalism as a whole

00:10:51.680 luckily if you're looking to expand your knowledge and horizons

00:10:54.400 on a broad range of topics including subjects like capitalism

00:10:57.160 hillsdale college is offering more than 40 free online courses

00:11:00.340 that's right completely free

00:11:01.980 i do recommend watching their new course understanding capitalism

00:11:05.460 in just seven lectures you'll learn about the role of profit and loss

00:11:08.660 how human nature shapes our economy

00:11:10.760 and why capitalism defends

00:11:13.100 rather depends on property private property rights

00:11:15.700 the rule of law and freedom

00:11:17.040 you'll also discover why capitalism actually encourages morality

00:11:20.260 rather than undermining it

00:11:21.280 like today's varying political agendas would have you believe

00:11:23.780 understanding economics and capitalism empowers individuals and societies

00:11:27.660 to make informed decisions

00:11:28.820 evaluate policy impacts

00:11:30.620 anticipate market changes

00:11:31.780 and ultimately create more prosperous communities

00:11:46.660 i don't know exactly what a jojo siwa is

00:11:49.340 as best i can tell

00:11:50.060 she's a 21 year old girl

00:11:51.660 who used to be some kind of reality tv star

00:11:53.840 as a child

00:11:54.340 and has now become

00:11:55.060 or is trying to become

00:11:55.860 desperately a pop star

00:11:57.160 two months ago

00:11:58.160 she debuted a new pop song

00:11:59.640 called karma

00:12:00.400 which she often performs

00:12:01.620 wearing this outfit

00:12:02.780 and doing these dance moves

00:12:04.640 watch

00:12:05.500 as you can see she's dressed like a villain from power rangers and doing dance moves

00:12:25.760 it looks something like a drunk uncoordinated bridesmaid at a wedding 1.00

00:12:29.060 and this is what jojo hopes you will consider edgy

00:12:31.940 she seems to want very badly to be seen as edgy and innovative

00:12:34.820 in a recent interview she went so far as to declare that she had even invented a new genre of music

00:12:39.520 watch

00:12:40.380 the genre is i said it back in the day when i first signed with columbia i said i want to start a new genre of music

00:12:46.680 and they said what do you mean and i said well it's called gay pop

00:12:49.560 and they were like what's that and i was like it's like k-pop right

00:12:53.260 but it's gay pop

00:12:54.840 yes the revolutionary new style of music is gay pop

00:12:59.100 she's the first person to ever combine gayness with pop music

00:13:03.040 prior to this moment in time pop music has been renowned for its heterosexuality

00:13:08.080 i can remember growing up in the 90s when a kid you know boy caught listening to in sync or the backstreet boys

00:13:13.080 might be mocked by his classmates listen to boy bands you must be straight 0.99

00:13:17.280 you damned hetero 0.99

00:13:18.640 this is at least what jojo siwa apparently imagines 1.00

00:13:22.420 that's why she's so proud of being the first gay person to ever produce a pop song 0.89

00:13:26.040 which is a bit like an nba player in the year 2024 claiming to have invented a new concept called black basketball

00:13:31.320 you know it's like regular basketball that we all know and love except this time get this

00:13:34.820 uh black guys are playing 0.99

00:13:36.340 now the claim may not make any sense but jojo isn't worried about making sense

00:13:40.580 she just wants you to notice her

00:13:42.080 when i was eight is when miley had her bangers moment 1.00

00:13:45.720 and i was like all i want is to have that one day like i want that

00:13:50.140 and honestly since i was like 15 like my whole like inner circle has been like talking about

00:13:55.260 and like getting excited for it

00:13:56.760 i am shook about your look tell me about these strange tan lines it's really strange

00:14:01.020 um i mean what do you want to know about it this is my uh my karma karma

00:14:05.820 it's a costume from the official music video honestly i just wanted to wear it again

00:14:09.860 i love it so much no one has made this dramatic of a change yet no one has made in my generation

00:14:16.460 this extreme of a switch and i am the first in the generation it is very scary but someone's gotta do it

00:14:25.060 biggest thing about this video i don't care if people like it i don't care if people hate it

00:14:29.420 but i want people to turn their head at it and i want people to notice it

00:14:33.000 because i'm the real lesbian i sound the real lesbian will the other real lesbian please stand on up 1.00

00:14:39.100 make slim shady but the real lesbian 1.00

00:14:41.000 i don't care if you like it or hate it i just want you to notice it

00:14:45.680 we got to give her credit for honesty i suppose there are a lot of attention seekers in the entertainment industry

00:14:49.940 she's not the only one

00:14:50.900 it's just that most of them won't come out and actually say that all they care about is getting attention

00:14:55.280 so the forthrightness here is something to appreciate maybe even mildly respect unfortunately

00:15:00.380 there's nothing else to respect about this person especially when you consider this story

00:15:04.640 here's people magazine quote jojo siwa is sharing new details about her surrogacy plans

00:15:10.000 in a video interview for cosmopolitan's if it were me series the karma singer 21 shared that she had

00:15:15.800 specific hopes for how and when she would welcome her hypothetical future children

00:15:19.400 quote because i'm gay and i have to plan a pregnancy much different than a straight person

00:15:24.360 i actually want to take three eggs fertilize three eggs and have three surrogates she said 1.00

00:15:28.980 quote so technically they'll all be the same batch but they would all be born separately

00:15:33.540 i'm gonna have my surrogates my babies then maybe their birthdays will land on different days 1.00

00:15:38.340 and they can be like triplets but like not

00:15:41.100 so she's gay as she says that's the term she applies to herself

00:15:46.020 it's how she self-identifies and i will certainly respect her self-identification

00:15:49.800 would never dream of doing anything otherwise she says that her gay status has led her to the 0.83

00:15:55.300 conclusion that she should have three babies at the same time from the same batch in her words

00:15:59.980 but by three different surrogates now granted she's speaking hypothetically about children who don't

00:16:06.080 yet exist she also has no idea what she's asking for if you wind up with triplets naturally then of 1.00

00:16:12.460 course you embrace them and you love them as a gift from god but no sane person actually sets out

00:16:18.600 to have triplets i've had twins twice and even i look uncomprehendingly at parents with triplets i

00:16:24.580 can't imagine what taking care of three newborns at once must be like it's the kind of challenge that

00:16:31.880 you you uh you let god decide to give to you if he does you put it in the hands of providence

00:16:37.340 you don't go seeking it out deliberately so this is obviously an emotionally stunted young woman

00:16:43.680 whose brain is warped from having been a child star um from what very little i know about her

00:16:48.800 she seems essentially incapable of expressing any kind of authentic human thought everything is a 0.77

00:16:53.880 desperate attempt to shock and provoke and this stuff about recruiting three surrogates at the same

00:16:57.700 time is probably no different yet still the language she's using reveals something about the

00:17:02.600 surrogacy industry she wants to cook up a batch of babies she says like they're baked goods and not 1.00

00:17:08.660 human beings she's not a married woman humbly embracing the procreative facet of the marital 0.98

00:17:14.000 union she is rather an unmarried self-described gay woman hoping to fulfill some very specific

00:17:19.620 weird motherhood fantasy by engineering exactly the results that she desires and all of the problems 1.00

00:17:26.100 with surrogacy are in evidence here first most obviously it is dehumanizing there's a reason why

00:17:33.100 the people who use surrogates can't help but talk about it in dehumanizing bizarrely objectifying ways

00:17:38.720 the surrogate mother carrying the baby and the baby that is being carried are both products 0.96

00:17:43.840 to them they are objects to be obtained and controlled this is human life as commodity as i've said many

00:17:51.620 times before commercial surrogacy is the most direct and explicit form of human commodification

00:17:55.880 since slavery and that's why it should be banned and anyone who uses surrogates should be treated 1.00

00:18:00.660 with the same scorn as human traffickers because that's what this is britney spears went viral this 1.00

00:18:06.380 week for all the wrong reasons which is the only reason that she ever goes viral anymore these days 0.99

00:18:11.680 and of course she's always you know she's always on instagram posting videos of herself dancing half

00:18:16.840 naked or fully naked rambling incoherently uh just coming off like a very disturbed person she recently

00:18:23.740 got divorced from her husband after 12 seconds and he claimed that she abused him i don't know that's 0.98

00:18:28.820 true or not but we do know that she is definitely not the first time that somebody close to her said

00:18:33.500 that she is volatile and dangerous this has been what most of the people close to her have been saying

00:18:38.420 for a long time anyway the video this week uh that went viral was her dancing with butcher knives

00:18:44.300 and she claims that the knives were fake um they very much appear not to be fake but here let's look at that video for a second

00:18:52.300 the dogs in the background are terrified

00:19:09.640 so there it is

00:19:12.340 i didn't even realize i never actually even watched the video so i didn't realize that she was dancing

00:19:17.680 what is that gregorian chant is that like a somehow it's even more

00:19:22.300 disturbing than you originally thought with the gregorian chant in the background

00:19:27.440 while you've got this uh half naked woman dancing with butcher knives 1.00

00:19:33.000 and those knives are not fake by the way those are not what fake knives look like those are real

00:19:37.680 so uh and the cops didn't think that the the butcher knives were fake either which is why they showed up

00:19:42.580 at her house for a wellness check um and they were the cops they were not called by fans who were

00:19:50.860 concerned they were called apparently by a friend of hers who was worried uh that that was worried

00:19:57.240 about her and listen it's all very sad um and it's even sadder because we're watching this woman fall

00:20:04.760 apart in front of us and it just seems very likely that in the not too distant future she's going to do

00:20:10.080 something drastic and really hurt herself or worse uh and it's like we all it's a slow motion train

00:20:17.100 wreck and we all know that's going to happen i think we all kind of understand she's what in her

00:20:20.640 early 40s now the chance that she that bernie spears turns 50 seems to be pretty low and we all know

00:20:27.360 it so which is why her conservatorship was in place to begin with so once again um i was right

00:20:38.080 and i said back during the whole free britney movement you may recall and i got a lot of flack

00:20:43.960 for it a lot of flack but i said at the time when everybody was demanding that britney spears be

00:20:50.440 freed from her conservatorship and why were they demanding it it's because they saw some documentary

00:20:54.520 on fx or whatever and most of them didn't even see the documentary they just they just other people

00:20:59.140 saw it and then it was trending on twitter and hashtag free britney and so a bunch of people jumped on

00:21:03.980 the bandwagon and i said at the time okay people don't get conservatorships placed on them for no

00:21:11.560 reason it doesn't happen use your head stop following internet trends now none of us know

00:21:20.840 even like one percent of what goes on behind the scenes in anybody else's life much less in britney

00:21:28.540 spears's life we don't know but we can use our heads and we can figure out that that you don't lose

00:21:35.920 legal rights to make decisions over your own life for no reason now of course everyone claimed that it

00:21:44.800 was a conspiracy by the people who wanted britney's money okay well once again use your head there are a

00:21:53.460 lot of of rich uh celebrities out there there's a lot of rich female celebrities out there who probably 1.00

00:22:01.020 have people in their lives who covet their wealth and yet they're not under conservatorships

00:22:06.640 britney is why is that could it be because britney very publicly had a mental breakdown and 1.00

00:22:15.460 repeatedly revealed herself to be a danger to herself and those around her including her children could

00:22:20.280 that be it i tried to explain this at the time britney a wealthy famous woman lost custody and lost 0.98
