Ep. 1167 - Man Killed For 'Being White.' Media Ignores, Focuses On Another Fake Racism Scandal Instead
Today on the Matt Walsh Show, the media went wall to wall with coverage of a white woman in New York who supposedly tried to steal a bike from a group of black teens. The story was completely made up, and the woman was herself the victim. But we can learn a lot from this story, and the victim's own response to it. Also, Nebraska is the latest state to ban the mutilation of children. The reaction from trans activists has been as calm and measured as you expect. Plus, Target is celebrating gay pride by teaming up with a clothing company that makes Satanist merchandise. In our Daily Cancellation, the ACLU claims that a "trans girl" has been banned from his high school graduation ceremony. The truth is, of course, very different.

Today on the Matt Wall Show, the media went wall-to-wall with coverage of a white woman in New York who supposedly tried to steal a bike from a group of black teens.
The story was completely made up and the woman was herself the victim, but we can learn a lot from this story and the victim's own response to it.
Also, Nebraska is the latest state to ban the mutilation of children.
The reaction from trans activists has been As calm and measured as you would expect.
Plus, Target is celebrating gay pride by teaming up with a clothing company that makes Satanist merchandise.
In our daily cancellation, the ACLU claims that a, quote, trans girl has been banned from his high school graduation ceremony for being trans.
The truth is, of course, very different.

A few weeks ago, a 66-year-old handyman named Lawrence Herr was installing a mailbox outside of a home in Kenner, Louisiana, toiling away in the heat, working past retirement age to provide for his sick 90-year-old mother.
And that's when two men in their 20s, Taj Matthews and Maurice Holmes were their names, drove by.
And unlike Lawrence Hur, Taj and Maurice were not productive members of society.
They were not the kinds of people you'd want living in your neighborhood or anywhere near your kids.
Maurice Holmes had just gotten out of prison on a six-year sentence for domestic violence.
And that day, Maurice Holmes and Taj Matthews were supposed to be at their jobs at IHOP, but they pretended to be sick so that they could take the day off.
And a few hours after getting out of work, they passed Lawrence Herr for the first time as he was working on the mailbox.
Surveillance footage shows that the two men drove by and then made a U-turn and passed by Lawrence Herr again.
And then they made another U-turn and they drove past a second time.
And then another U-turn.
On the third pass, Maurice Holmes handed a 9mm pistol to Taj Matthews, who then proceeded to shoot Hur in the back.
Lawrence Hur bled out next to the mailbox as the two men drove away.
Now, why would these two young men decide to skip work so that they could stalk and murder a handyman in the middle of the day?
Didn't take long for the police to answer that question.
According to authorities, quote, one of the two suspects has admitted to his role in the crime, explaining that they wanted to go out and kill a white guy.
Maurice Holmes and Todd Matthews were black, and Lawrence Herr was white.
So, they executed him.
Now, these men, they didn't know Lawrence Herr.
They didn't get into some kind of altercation with him that day.
He didn't shout the N-word at them while they drove past.
Not that that would justify it.
They just decided to take a day off work to go hunting for white people.
And so they did.
Here's an official with the Kenner Police Department laying out the details.
Listen.
There's some of the confession of Taj Matthews, who admitted to taking part in the homicide, that they did want to commit a murder that day.
And specifically, they've ruled out Hispanics, and they said it was going to be a white person.
Within a couple blocks of their residence, or their starting point, they did find Mr. Herr out working on a mailbox, doing what he does, and shot him in the back.
Now, no mainstream media outlet in the country has covered this story from what I've seen.
CNN, Fox News, The New York Times, The New York Post.
You can search any of their websites for Lawrence Hur, and you can check me on this, and you'll get no results.
Instead, instead of talking about Lawrence Hur, who was executed for his race in the middle of the day, Instead, they spent the past week going wall-to-wall with an obviously fake story about a pregnant white physician's assistant in New York City who supposedly decided to, out of nowhere one day, terrorize some black people.
You probably know the details by now about this story.
According to the media, Sarah Comrie got off her 12-hour shift at Bellevue and, for some utterly perplexing reason, decided to steal a city bike from a group of black teens.
She would be, I think, perhaps The first middle-aged white woman to attempt to mug a bunch of black males.
This doesn't happen.
We've never seen anything like it before.
It would be totally unprecedented in world history, and yet no media outlets did any research or investigation into this version of events.
We were supposed to simply accept it at face value, and many people did.
And they did so based entirely on this out-of-context video.
Let's see it.
[Crowd yelling
Please get off me! What the f*** is going on bro? Thank you!
Bro, now you're not getting the bike. Help! Get off me! I'm not...
Get off me!
Get off me!
I'm not touching you.
You put a gun on my head.
Help!
Dude, stop.
No, no, no.
Please help!
Guys, guys, guys.
Please.
She just crying.
You're not crying.
You're not crying.
I got you on video.
This is stupid.
This is my bike.
Here's how the New York Post covered that clip.
You put that on?
That's on.
I don't give a ****.
That's on, you put that on?
This is my bike, it's on my account.
Please move.
All right, so why don't we- So that was the incident, which you've
probably seen the video.
Here's how the New York Post covered that clip.
This was the headline, quote, NYC Hospital Karen on leave after being accused of trying
to take black man's bike in viral video.
The article goes on to mock Sarah Comrie, saying that she, quote, appears to start crying
theatrically in the video.
Now, this is the New York Post we're talking about, which broke the Hunter Biden laptop story.
They're capable of doing real investigative journalism on occasion, and sometimes they do.
But what they did here is use a racial slur in a headline to spread an obvious lie about a pregnant hospital worker.
And yes, Karen is a racial slur.
I reiterated this point on Twitter a few days ago, and of course a large gaggle of idiots, like usual, pretended that they had no idea what I was talking about.
How could Karen be a racial slur?
That's ridiculous.
But everyone knows the truth.
Even an article in the BBC from 2020 acknowledges that the Karen meme references, quote, a specific type of middle-class white woman, and it became popular, quote, as a way for people of color, particularly black Americans, to satirize this type of white person.
In other words, it's a derogatory label that one race of people uses to describe members of another race, otherwise known as a racial slur.
That's what a racial slur is.
So I wonder, what other racial slurs does the New York Post allow in their style guide?
Do they have any racial slurs for the black teenagers who lied about this woman stealing a city bike?
Why not?
And what if the Daily Wire started running headlines with the name Shaniqua as a pejorative for annoying black women?
Would all the people defending the Karen slur remain so open-minded?
I think we all know the answer.
Now it's not even worth going into the details of the Sarah Comrie story because the woman's lawyer literally provided the actual receipts.
Sarah Comrie rented the bike.
That's not in dispute.
The teenagers apparently swapped the QR codes so that she would unlock the bike that they were sitting on, which they could then steal.
And that happens a lot in New York City now that crime has been decriminalized.
What's interesting is why anyone, journalists or otherwise, pretended to believe this story for so long.
Why would anyone pretend to believe, again, that a white, middle-aged woman who just got off a 12-hour shift at a hospital tried to steal a bike from black teenagers?
Are people just afraid of Ben Crump and the race hustlers like him?
It's possible.
Here's what Crump tweeted as soon as that video came out.
Quote, This is unacceptable.
A white woman was caught on camera attempting to steal a city bike from a young black man in NYC.
She grossly tried to weaponize her tears to paint this man as a threat.
This is exactly the type of behavior that has endangered so many black men in the past.
Of course, Ben Crump capitalized the B in black, but not the W in white, just to underscore, you know, the racial hierarchy.
It could be that thugs and liars like Ben Crump are the reason why mainstream media outlets continue to lie about this story, even after Comrie's lawyer provided the receipts.
Here's NBC News, for example, quote, a New York City hospital employee has been placed on leave after a viral video that appeared to show her attempting to take a rental bike from a group of young black men garnered millions of views.
That's journalistic malpractice, obviously, but the truth is that this is not just a media story.
It goes much deeper than that.
Consider the fact that even after the truth came out, the victim is the one who's been apologizing.
Here's a groveling quote from Sarah Comrie's GoFundMe page, which is over $100,000 now, I think.
Quote, Sarah holds racial justice and equity dear and has dedicated her life to serving NYC's most challenged individuals.
Translation, Sarah Comrie, like so many other white women in this country, got what she voted for.
And even when she's confronted with the reality of what she supports, she still feels that she has to affirm it.
The woman has had her life ripped to shreds by a mob of racist ghouls.
I mean, they are trying to destroy her for fun.
That's why she was targeted by these kids in the first place.
Just for fun.
Take her bike and destroy her life.
Because why not?
For sport.
And still she signals her allegiance to the very predators who have made her the prey.
And this is far from the first case like this.
Remember Amy Cooper?
A few years back, some whack job named Christian didn't like that Amy Cooper's dog wasn't on a leash in Central Park.
So what does he do about that?
Well, according to his own post on Facebook, Christian tried to lure the woman's dog away from her with treats.
And here's what Christian told Amy Cooper, quote, look, if you're going to do what you want, I'm going to do what I want, but you're not going to like it.
Come here, puppy.
Then Christian wrote, quote, I pulled out dog treats I carry just for such intransigence.
Amy Cooper's life was destroyed because she called the police on that lunatic, who again is the one who instigated this whole thing.
She lost her job.
Like Sarah Comer.
She was attacked for her skin color.
And in the end, she was the one who apologized.
I'm not a racist, she insisted.
Now there's a reason the media has to lie about the stories of Sarah Comrie and Amy Cooper, not to mention the most egregious recent example, which was Daniel Penny.
And the reason is simple.
It's because they can't find videos and news stories of white people going out and hunting black people.
It just doesn't happen.
They lie and pretend it happens all the time, and a lot of white leftists believe it, even when their lives come crashing down because of it.
But it's not true.
And the people spreading this narrative, they know that it isn't true.
Just this weekend, the NAACP Board of Directors issued a travel advisory for Florida.
And they were warning that the state, under the leadership of that infamous white supremacist Ron DeSantis, is not safe for black people.
Not safe for black people because of white people, just to be clear.
But guess where the board's chairman lives?
Florida, of course.
So these people don't believe their own nonsense.
But they expect you to believe it, or at least pretend that you do.
On the other hand, black people committing crimes against white people for sport is common.
In fact, it's so common now that it's one of the fastest growing genres on social media.
Here's just one example from the UK.
Watch as a black TikToker perpetrates a kind of casual home invasion, walking into a random white family's home for the sake of going viral.
Watch this.
I'm ready to run the course. Let's go!
(clang)
[BLANK_AUDIO]
Come to the front door right now please.
James?
James?
Hi.
You mind if I come?
Hello James.
This is Peter James.
James!
Hi.
Hi.
Is that James?
Is this where the study group is?
No, no.
What day number is this?
No, 5.30.
Huh, that's a big one.
Wait, this is not where the study group is.
Oh, you got kids, man.
Oh, I thought this was the study group.
Hey, this is the study group.
Yeah, maybe that family there in the UK is learning why we have the Second Amendment.
Here in the United States.
There's another one where that same guy goes into a random person's car, just opens the car and sits in it while the person is in the car.
Another one where he steals a random woman's dog, and the victims in all of these cases are white, so maybe it's not so random after all.
Now to state the obvious, you don't see this kind of thing happening in the reverse.
There are no viral videos of white people stealing from black people or invading their homes, all for internet clout.
It goes one way, because it can only go one way.
The racial hierarchy has been firmly established.
Speaking of which, yesterday, UC Berkeley held its graduation ceremony.
It was a wonderful celebration for all of Berkeley's graduates.
Well, not all of them.
Just the black ones, of course.
This was their black graduation.
Watch. [BLANK_AUDIO]
[APPLAUSE]
[BLANK_AUDIO]
Receiving a Bachelor of Arts in disciplinary studies field, political economy, legal studies, and African American studies.
He said, disbursement and allocation, reparations for African Americans.
It's our nation's finest scholars, to be sure.
It does look at least more entertaining than your average graduation ceremony, I'll say that much.
And that was just one of the many race-based graduation ceremonies at tax-funded college campuses across the country this month.
Many universities offer special ceremonies for black students and members of other privileged races.
No university offers anything special for white students.
Segregation is back in a big way.
And as Sarah Comrie and Daniel Penny have recently discovered, so is lynching.
This is life now in the United States of America, and it's all happening by design.
Now let's get to our five headlines.

So we'll begin in Nebraska, which is the latest state to pass a law protecting children from mutilation and castration, among other abuses.
The always objective and unbiased ABC News reports, quote, Nebraska lawmakers voted on Friday to restrict abortion access after 12 weeks and to ban gender-affirming care for trans youth.
The bill, passed by the Nebraska legislature in a 33-15 vote, will head over to Republican Governor Jim Pillen's desk, where it's expected to be signed into law.
The bill will prohibit gender-affirming procedures for anyone under the age of 19, and give the state's chief medical officer responsibility for establishing limitations on hormone therapy and puberty blockers for the same age range.
Abortions will also be prohibited after 12 weeks of pregnancy.
There will only be exceptions in cases of rape, incest, or to save the life of the pregnant person.
Save the life of the pregnant person, not save the life of the mother.
Notice that change has been made.
Because, you know, in case any fathers get pregnant.
Happens all the time.
That's science, folks.
In April, a bill to ban abortion once cardiac activity can be detected, which is usually around six weeks, failed.
Legislative Bill 574 comes after a wave of legislation that have taken place in other states like Texas and Florida, which have passed similar legislation restricting or prohibiting the provision of gender-affirming health care to minors.
And Tennessee as well.
So this is the latest state.
Now, notice how permissive and liberal this legislation actually is.
I mean, I support it.
Don't get me wrong.
Whatever you can do to restrict gender mutilation, whatever you can do to restrict baby murder, you should do.
You know, doing something is better than nothing.
I'm a firm believer in that.
I wish it was banned completely.
I'd ban all of it completely if I could.
But if you can't pass that, Then pass what you can.
People who demand all or nothing when it comes to legislation are really demanding nothing.
That's, you know, there's this argument about whether we should have an incremental approach or not.
Well, of course it has to be incremental.
The other option is literally nothing.
And so if you'd prefer nothing, then we're not even on the same side.
But my point is that this legislation, it still allows for abortions for three months.
Okay, you have three months to kill your baby.
That's a long grace period where baby murder is still allowed.
And it allows doctors, of course, to mutilate, sterilize, perform all manner of Frankenstein butchery on confused people.
And all that can still happen, just not when the patient is an actual child.
So these are relatively minor restrictions.
Important.
As they protect children, but it's not like this is some kind of far-reaching, radical law.
And yet, of course, as always, the left is sent into hysterics about it.
Here's Nebraska State Senator Michaela Kavanaugh giving a speech on the House floor over the weekend, as this bill was officially passed.
And I don't know if we can really call it a speech, but whatever she's doing, here it is.
We love trans people!
Trans people belong here!
We need trans people!
We love trans people!
Trans people belong here!
We need trans people!
We love trans people!
Trans people belong here!
We need trans people!
We love trans people!
Trans people belong here!
We need trans people!
We love trans people!
Trans people belong here!
We need trans people!
We love trans people!
Trans people belong here!
Trans people belong here!
We need trans people!
Will you please stop, though?
Could you stop?
At least for right now, because I can only take so much of that.
You look up shrill in the dictionary, and that's what you find right there.
And that's really it.
That's all they have.
I mean, that's their entire argument.
That is it.
And you notice that this kind of thing is only on one side.
In every video of somebody screaming the same phrase over and over again, or maybe not even screaming a phrase.
If it's a video of them just screaming these guttural, you know, noises.
They can't even articulate actual words.
Like they're having some kind of stroke.
You know, it's always on the pro-trans side that that happens.
Always.
And the reason is that here on Team Sanity, we have actual points.
We have arguments and ideas and we have facts, actual facts that we want to present.
We want to say, here are the facts, listen to these facts.
So you give us the microphone and we will lay out our case.
Which is why, for trans activists, what they prefer is to make sure we don't have the microphone, so we can't lay out our case.
But if we have the microphone, we're going to lay out our case, and we're going to say, here's what we believe, here's why we believe it, and we're going to give you all the evidence.
You give the other side the microphone, and they have a verbal seizure.
Because that is all they have.
They don't have arguments.
They cannot actually articulate.
Why it is not only a good idea, but in fact medically necessary to sterilize and castrate children.
They can't do it.
We've given them plenty of opportunity to do it.
And none of them have come up with an argument.
I've listened to them.
I've had many conversations.
But I've yet to hear the actual argument.
It doesn't exist.
There isn't one.
All they have is emoting.
They have emotions.
That's all they have.
Daily Wire has this report.
Target is facing backlash over a designer featured in the company's Pride collection who appears to have created products with satanic imagery.
One thing we should note as we read on here is that anyone who's making pride, anyone who's making anything related to pride, the pride flag and all that, it's all satanic imagery to begin with, but this is, so I think we should say that this is explicitly satanic imagery. Scarlett Johnson, an activist from
Wisconsin, went viral on Twitter this weekend with a thread explaining why she is done with the retailer.
In particular, Johnson took issue with Target listing three items on its online store from Ab
Prallin, a London-based designer of products that sometimes mix imagery and messages about
gender with the macabre.
None of the three colourful apparel items for sale on the label on Target's website have satanic imagery.
The catalogue includes a We Belong Everywhere mini messenger bag for $18, another is a Too Queer for Here tote bag for $18, and a third is a Cure Transphobia Not Trans People sweatshirt for $25.
All are listed under Pride Adult Clothing.
But Johnson highlighted other products for sale that are shown on the website for this designer, an associated Instagram account with about 25,000 followers.
Among them is a skeleton draped in rainbow colors, a trans witches for abortion badge, and a Satan respects pronouns t-shirt.
Johnson's thread, which has been retweeted thousands of times since it began on Saturday, with many other users criticizing Target and some even calling for a boycott, others complimented the products and questioned why Johnson had a problem with the designer's work.
The product page for the Satan Respects Pronouns shirt talks about how LGBT plus people are so often referred to as being a product of Satan or going against God's will while making the case that the Church of Satan and the Satanic Temple are more accepting of the gay community.
Quote, Satanists don't actually believe in Satan.
He's merely used as a symbol of passion, pride, and liberty.
Yeah, that's true.
A lot of self-professed Satanists don't believe in Satan, although Satan believes in them.
So, when we talk about Satanists, and this is why I say that leftism is Satanism, they mean the same thing.
Because Satanism is the worship of the self, right?
Satanists don't explicitly, or knowingly most of the time, worship Satan, unless they're actual theological, I guess what we would call theological Satanists, which most of them aren't.
Rather, they worship what Satan worships, which is the self.
And that is also leftism.
Leftism is the worship of the self.
So really, anything associated with leftism, any slogan, anything like that, associated with leftism, is satanic imagery for that reason.
It's just that in this case, again, it's explicit.
Now we know that corporate America is being held hostage by ESG, the Corporate Equality Index and all that, all these extortion methods.
And that's why Bud Light jumped on the grenade.
But this kind of thing, this is not just Target checking the woke box for the sake of getting their score up, right?
This is, you don't have to promote literal outright Satanism for that.
They're doing this because they believe it on a corporate level.
This is who runs the company.
This is what the company is all about.
And consumers need to make a decision based on that.
We talk all the time about how we shouldn't support companies that hate us, and that's true.
And it's also true that not every company that goes woke does it necessarily because they hate us, not that I'm defending them.
Bud Light, does Bud Light hate us?
Well, no, they just, they are more afraid of the left than they are of us.
And so they thought that they could throw a bone to the left and we wouldn't do anything about it, and they thought wrong.
And we are punishing them for that, thank God.
So there is that motivation, but then in many cases, In fact, these are companies that actually hate us, and that's Target.
They truly hate us.
They really do.
You don't put your pride display right at the front of the store.
You walk into Target and it's right there vomiting rainbows on you as soon as you walk in.
You don't do that.
You don't sell merchandise from designers that make Satanist gear.
You don't sell tucking underwear for children and whatever else.
Unless you absolutely despise your customers.
And they do.
So what are we going to do about it?
Is the question.
You know, I admitted with the Bud Light thing that Although I support the boycott, I help to organize it, I think it's a great thing to continue boycotting.
In spite of that, I could not actually, you know, I never personally participated in the Bud Light boycott because I can't, because I was never a Bud Light customer to begin with on account of the fact that I have functioning taste buds.
So I'm, you know, for me, to say that I'm boycotting is just to say that I'm going to continue doing what I've been doing all along, which is buying beer that actually tastes good.
Target, on the other hand, I can boycott.
Because, of course, as a dad, six kids, Target is convenient.
It's relatively cheap, at least compared to other options.
If it's like 7.30 on a Tuesday and you realize that you need diapers or children's Tylenol or spaghetti sauce or all of those things for some reason, Target is often going to be the quickest and easiest solution, depending on where you live.
And it will take some measure of actual sacrifice to cut them out of the equation.
It's not a big sacrifice.
It's not anything significant.
They aren't going to build monuments to commemorate the time that I needed to buy a swimsuit for my six-year-old and I drove past Target and went to Walmart instead.
It's not exactly a hero's journey.
But even so, it requires actual inconvenience.
Okay, this is the kind of boycott.
Boycotting Bud Light, this is why they were a good target to begin with, why they made such a mistake, it's why they were so vulnerable, because not only do they have a conservative customer base, but it doesn't require any sacrifice at all to just buy different beer.
You go to the gas station, you open up the, you go to the refrigerated section, you open it up, you just grab something else, that's it.
But Target, you have to embrace A little bit of inconvenience.
And this is the real test, is whether we can successfully execute a boycott that involves inconvenience.
Because inconvenience is the great horror of modern life.
We cannot endure inconvenience.
That's where we draw the line, usually.
We'll say, okay, I'm with you.
I'm on board.
And then we hear, OK, it's going to require a little bit of inconvenience.
Well, never mind then.
That's crazy.
What do I look like?
I can't be inconvenienced.
But we need to be, because Target needs to pay for this.
A message must be sent.
And just like with Bud Light, it is now, it's still a boycott, but it's also, they've been branded a certain way where it's embarrassing.
You know, this is why Bud Light is probably permanently screwed, because it's now embarrassing to drink a Bud Light.
It should have always been embarrassing, but now it's certainly embarrassing.
And it needs to be that way for Target.
Like, you should be embarrassed at this point to go to Target, to be seen walking out of Target with those Target bags.
It's embarrassing.
And that's what needs to happen here.
All right, we have yet another GOP presidential hopeful.
Speaking of embarrassing, taking Disney's side against Ron DeSantis.
And this time it's Mike Pence, unfortunately.
Let's listen to that.
I just don't believe it's in the interest of the people of any state for a government to essentially go after a business that they disagreed with on a political issue.
I disagree with Florida moving against Walt Disney.
I disagree with California moving against Walgreens because they're going to obey the law.
Uh, about abortifacients in some 20 states, so they're going to cancel a $120 million project.
Look, at the end of the day, the business of America is business, and I'm not terribly surprised to see Disney canceling a billion dollar contract.
That's only going to harm people in the Orlando and Florida area.
And it's one more reason why, as a limited government conservative, I've said for months now that I think both sides ought to stand down, take the victory for parents' rights in the legislature, and move on.
Pathetic.
Pathetic.
And this is now, so we've got Mike Pence, Nikki Haley, I believe Vivek Ramaswamy.
And, of course, Donald Trump, have all taken the side of Disney, the Disney groomers, against Ron DeSantis.
And it is pitiful.
You know, we hear from Mike Pence that, oh, it's going to harm the people of Florida if Disney isn't there.
If we don't capitulate to Disney and allow them to sexualize our kids, it's going to harm the people of Florida.
Well, how does it harm the people of Florida?
How does it harm children all across the country?
To have Disney sexualizing children, and supporting things like the castration and mutilation of kids, and supporting things like pornographic content in elementary schools, which is where this all began.
Yeah, because that's what Florida was trying to get rid of in elementary schools, and Disney came out against them on that.
Using all of their enormous wealth and power and influence to support, again, the sexualization, corruption, abuse, and mutilation of kids.
So what's a bigger harm, Mike?
What's more harmful to the country?
To have Disney engaging in this kind of behavior and attacking children.
Or for there to be some kind of consequence for that, to actually push back against it.
It's absolutely pathetic, and we shouldn't have to explain.
And this is why, not that I'm surprised, but from Pence in particular, it's especially disappointing because his kind of brand is to be a social conservative, someone who understands why the culture matters.
Well, you aren't going to make any progress in the culture when we say a corporation like Disney is what, off-limits?
Because they provide a lot of jobs?
If there's a lot of money and a lot of jobs to be found in the business of sexualizing kids, well, that's a problem that needs to be fixed.
And we're not going to fix it as long as the Republican Party is held hostage by corporate interests.
Corporate interests who already hate them.
They already hate you.
Disney already hated Ron DeSantis and every Republican.
They hate you, Mike Pence.
Okay?
And they're working against you and everything that you say you believe.
You come out and defend them, and what do you get in exchange for that?
You don't even get anything for it.
I mean, at least if I thought that by Pence and Haley and the rest of them coming out and defending Disney, that Disney, just because Disney's gonna donate to their campaigns or something, that would make it okay.
But at least on a self-serving level, I could understand it.
It would still be pathetic and cowardly.
But then you kind of know why they're doing it.
Oh, well, you're selling out for the money.
Well, okay.
A billion other people have done that.
Everyone in politics does it.
Doesn't make it okay.
But in this case, it's all the more pitiful because that's not going to happen.
You're not going to benefit from it directly.
They are not going to return the favor.
Okay, so these woke corporate interests That you are slavishly kowtowing to.
They are not going to return the favor.
Disney's not going to come out and defend Mike Pence.
That ain't going to happen.
So, you might as well go to war with them.
You might as well push back.
You literally have nothing to lose.
That's the thing conservatives need to understand.
We have nothing to lose.
In actually fighting back against corporate wokeism.
Yeah, we're going to anger the corporations.
They're not going to like us.
That's already the case.
They already hate us.
Target is doing business with an apparel company that sells satanic merchandise.
They hate us already.
Alright.
Mediaite has this story.
Brittany Griner made her return to the WNBA on Friday night, but her coach believes the fans in Los Angeles should have turned out in greater numbers.
Speaking at a news conference after her team went down to a 94-71 defeat at the hands of the LA Sparks, Phoenix Mercury coach Vanessa Nygaard called out the absence of fans at the Crypto.com arena in LA.
She was very upset.
She thought more people should have been there for Brittany Griner's debut.
Let's watch that clip.
It was great, but honestly, come on LA.
We didn't sell out the arena for our BG.
I expected more, to be honest.
It was great, it was loud, but how was it not a sellout?
How was it not a sellout?
How is it not a sellout?
I mean, talk about beggars being choosers.
Okay, people, and I saw the clip of Brittany Griner being introduced, and yeah, it was not a sellout, but there were people there.
People came to a WNBA game.
It was probably mostly friends and family of Brittany Griner, but still, people showed up on purpose.
They bought tickets.
They paid literally $15 for a ticket, and they sat there, and they watched it.
And you're complaining that it wasn't a sellout?
You're acting confused about why it wasn't a sellout?
Actually, I'll tell you why it wasn't a sellout, alright, if you're really confused about this.
And here's the reason, and this is actually encouraging.
Because apparently the media's ability to manufacture star power, their ability to trick us into being interested in something or in someone, is limited.
They have an enormous amount of power in this area, but it's limited.
And they couldn't trick us into caring about Britney Griner and the WNBA.
They couldn't do it.
Even after making Brittany Griner into a hero and everything, and we had to swap an arms dealer to get her back, because it's so important to get Brittany Griner back, and they made her into this big deal, and then she comes out as her WNBA return, people don't care.
They couldn't trick us into caring.
Just like they couldn't trick us into caring about Stacey Abrams.
So that's pretty much the limit, I think.
That's the line.
The media, they can fabricate a lot, they can gin up a lot of hysteria.
They can make people into stars who wouldn't otherwise be and shouldn't be on the merits.
But there is a limit, and we've discovered where the limit is.
And the WNBA and Stacey Abrams are a bridge too far.
That's the one place where the media says, hey everyone, you should care about this, it's a big deal!
And the public says, eh, I don't know.
I don't know about that one.
Sounds good.
It's good to know that there is a limit, at least.
Let's get to the comment section.
What I object to are the men pretending to be women, invading women's sports locker rooms and changing rooms.
They are the problem, not transgenders like Caitlyn Jenner.
Well, this is interesting to me because your first sentence says it's their business.
And then your second sentence explains why it's not just their business.
Okay, so you have discovered in your first sentence, you're still the oblivious conservative saying, well, it doesn't affect us at all.
Let people do what they want in their own homes.
Live and let live.
That's all they want.
And then your second sentence, you've discovered that, oh no, it's not what they want.
Because actually, when a man's pretending to be a woman, this is a theatrical production that requires the involvement of society.
Otherwise he can't live as a woman.
I mean, it's not... See, we are not... Here's... Listen, bald eagle.
It turns out, okay, that we are not simply atomized individuals living in isolation on our own deserted islands.
We do, in fact, live in a society.
It's true.
And so, if somebody wants to, if a man wants to live as a woman, quote unquote, that is going to involve society.
The only way that he can, quote, live as a woman, and he can never actually live as a woman, but if he wants to, Engage in the charade of living as a woman.
That requires society.
Society is involved in that.
Because if you're saying, well, someone can be transgender if they want, they can identify as a woman, but I don't want them in the women's locker room, I don't want them in the changing rooms, I'm not going to use the pronouns, well then what you're actually saying is, well, no, I'm not going to respect them pretending to be a woman.
It's either or.
If their self-identity is entirely their business, and we should have nothing to say about it, then that means that, yeah, they can use whatever bathroom they want, because it's their business, right?
It's their self-identity.
But no, it's not just your business.
When you go out in society, and you're a man, and you say, hey everyone, I'm a woman, this is who I am, it's no longer just your business.
You are recruiting us now.
You are involving us in that.
And we're going to have something to say about it.
And society generally is either going to say, yes, you're a woman.
Or, no, you're not.
See, that's what it comes down to.
Those are the only two responses from society.
A third response of, oh, whatever.
That doesn't work.
Yeah, conservatives tried that kind of response for decades.
Tried the, well, you know, I'm neutral.
No?
Because the person making the declaration, they don't want a neutral response either.
They haven't left a choice.
Yes or no?
Are you going to affirm this or not?
And I say no.
Another comment says, my opinion, Jenner is a conservative and more importantly is on the right side of the assault on women by trans activists.
How could he be on the right side of the assault on women?
He is actually appropriating womanhood right now.
He accepted the Woman of the Year award.
Why is this hard?
Look, I know that Caitlyn Jenner is on Fox News.
But what we have discovered, and there's a lot more to be said about this actually, by the way, we'll talk about it tomorrow, but, and this should not be news, Fox News is not the arbiter of what is actually conservative.
Not even close, okay?
So I know he's on Fox News.
It doesn't mean anything.
Okay, you can't have a man who appears on a magazine cover as a woman and has a big interview and comes out as a woman, accepts Woman of the Year, and yet is on the right side of the assault on women.
No, that's the wrong side.
That's exactly the wrong side.
Conservative?
Conservative in what way?
What do you mean by that?
It really is time we start defining that term.
As much as we demand on the left that they define all the words that they use, and they can't define any of them, starting with the word woman, and we should make that demand, I would like to hear some conservatives say, well, he's a conservative.
What do you mean by that?
What do you mean?
What do you mean conservative?
What is he conserving exactly?
Because if conservative does not mean conserving truth, sanity, common sense, tradition, moral truth, you know, if these are not the things that we're conserving as conservatives, then again, we're not on the same side.
Because that's what I mean.
And a man dressed up like a woman And who wants to be accepted as a woman and accepts the Woman of the Year award.
He cannot possibly be conserving the things that I want to conserve.
Maga Tranny says, why does Matt Walsh feel like he's even the judge on someone's political view and beliefs?
Just because someone is transsexual man or transsexual woman doesn't mean we fall on the leftist, libtard side.
I've been a conservative my entire life.
It has absolutely nothing to do with my body or my beliefs and values.
Wait, I'm sorry, what?
Being a conservative has nothing to do with your beliefs and values?
Isn't that everything that it has to do with?
What are you talking about?
What does it mean then?
Now we're back to this question.
I guess we need another documentary.
What is a conservative?
Also, Maddie, don't be confusing two terms of transgender and transsexual.
Even us transsexuals don't and will not mix ourselves with the transgenders.
If you'd actually do your research, rather than pulling S from your back door, you might actually learn we're not all that you make us out to be.
Stay in your tracks on the transgender and cross-dressers.
Leave the transsexuals out of it.
Listen, I'm not interested in these irrelevant, incoherent, fine distinctions.
It's not up to me to research.
Do your research.
These are all invented nonsense terms, okay?
Transsexual and transgender, they don't mean anything.
That doesn't actually exist in reality.
You can't really be that.
And so you have people that invented these nonsensical concepts and constantly moving the goalposts and creating more distinctions without differences.
And then you want to use that against me and say, well, you haven't done your research.
Because, you know, you're just talking about what we said 30 seconds ago, but 15 seconds ago we decided there's this other distinction that you should know about.
No, I reject all of it.
Okay?
That's my view.
I reject all of it.
Males and females, that's it.
That's all that exists in the human species.
Period.
I do not accept any other category.
Finally, James Freeman says, definitely agree with way too much self-focus.
The modern concept driven by psychology is to love oneself, which drives all this introspection.
The original concept of love was to love others, even enemies, while even denying self to the point of loss.
By so doing, and contrary to conventional wisdom, taking our eyes off ourselves to love others not only produces good for those whom we love, but a deeper joy, peace and hope for ourselves.
When we focus on self and don't get what we want, then depression and hopelessness set in.
Well, you're right, and this is why the concept of self-love has always seemed a little bit incoherent to me.
I mean, not completely.
There is a sense in which it makes sense.
You want to love yourself if the alternative is self-loathing.
We shouldn't hate ourselves.
We are all children of God, and so for that reason alone, we should love ourselves.
The problem is when self-love becomes the first objective.
You know, when we have this idea, well, you have to work on loving yourself, and this is what we so often hear, this is the popular idea, and you hear it from even in the counseling and therapy world, it's the same idea, that you have to start there, love yourself first, and then you can work on loving other people.
And what does that mean?
It just means that you're walking around every day in this fog of your own ego and your own self-obsession constantly.
What does it mean to work on loving yourself?
What kind of work is that?
So you're just sitting around thinking about yourself?
Hmm, how do I feel about myself right now?
And until I feel exactly how I should feel, I can't love anybody else?
It's absurd.
The better approach is to stop thinking about yourself for five seconds and work on Loving other people.
Because loving other people is an active choice.
It's a thing that we do.
It involves sacrifice.
It involves giving, you know.
That's what loving other people is.
And I'm not, you know, as a husband and a father, I can't sit here and say, well, you know, sorry kids, I'm not sure if I love you right now.
Because I have to work on myself first.
I can feel all different ways about myself.
You know, sometimes I feel better about myself, sometimes I feel worse.
Like anybody else, your emotions are all over the place.
But my kids are my kids, my wife is my wife, and I would rather just think about that and focus on that.
I think that's the better approach.

Now let's get to our daily cancellation.
Whales of horror could be heard across the land on Sunday in response to a decision from a federal judge in Mississippi.
This is a complicated case, but the end result is that because of the decision, a high school boy will be required to follow the boy's dress code at his graduation ceremony.
So actually, it's not complicated at all, I guess.
And actually, the wails of horror were from the ACLU and various trans activists and the media, but not from any normal human beings.
Here's the report from The Guardian, quote, "A transgender girl in Mississippi did not
participate in her high school graduation ceremony on Saturday because school officials
told her to dress like a boy and a federal judge did not block the official's decision,
an attorney for the girl's family said."
We must note, as always, that in this story, "transgender girl" means boy and "her"
and "she" mean him and he.
So that's the special decoder ring that you have to use to make sense of this gibberish.
Continuing, quote, Linda Morris, staff attorney at the American Civil Liberty Union's Women's Rights Project.
said the ruling handed down late on Friday by federal judge Taylor McNeil in the Mississippi city of Gulfport quote is as disappointing as it is absurd quote our client is being shamed and humiliated for explicitly discriminatory reasons and her family is being denied a once-in-a-lifetime milestone in their daughter's life.
Morris said no one should be should be forced to miss their graduation because of their gender.
The ACLU confirmed that the 17-year-old girl listed in court papers only by her initials, LB, would skip the Saturday ceremony for Harrison Central High in Gulfport.
So another quick aside, but important to note, the school absolutely did not deny the student the right to participate in the graduation ceremony.
He is invited to attend along with the rest of his peers.
He has chosen to not attend, and that's a really important detail.
Continuing, quote, The student has met the qualifications to receive a diploma, according to local public school district's attorney, Wynn Clark.
The ACLU sued the district on Thursday on behalf of the student and her parents after Harrison Central Principal Kelly Fuller and School District Superintendent Mitchell King told LB that she must follow the boys' clothing rules.
Graduating boys are expected to wear white shirts and black slacks, and girls are expected to wear white dresses.
L.B.
had selected a dress to wear with her cap and gown.
The lawsuit said L.B.
had worn dresses to classes and extracurricular events throughout high school, including to a prom last year, and she should not face discriminatory treatment during graduation.
King told L.B.' 's mother that the teenager could not participate in the graduation ceremony unless L.B.
wears pants, socks, and shoes like a boy, according to the lawsuit.
Yes, this is what is known as a dress code.
They're very common in schools and workplaces and at formal events.
But this somehow is news to trans activists who, as noted, reacted to this case with all of the psychotic hysteria you've come to expect.
I could give you dozens of examples of this, but that'd probably be overkill.
Instead, I'll give you just this tweet from trans-identified male Aaron Reid, and I think it should suffice.
He posted, quote, This is a terrifying court decision.
It's explicitly making it so that your assigned sex at birth determines what clothes you can wear.
The speed in which fascism is encroaching is unreal.
This is what eradication looks like.
Oh, it is?
So eradication looks like requiring a boy to wear pants?
I guess this explains why it's such a struggle to get my boys dressed for church on Sunday.
I thought I was just making them look presentable, but apparently I'm committing genocide against my own flesh and blood.
But I can't be blamed for it.
I'm a victim as well.
In fact, just the other week I went to a restaurant for some reason that required men to wear sports coats.
I was literally eradicated while I ate dinner.
They served my ribeye with a side of hate crime.
And yet, somehow I survived.
I don't know how.
But, you know, that's a totally different situation.
The trans activists will insist, it's okay for me to be subjected to dress code rules, or any other rules.
It's okay for you.
It's okay for almost everyone.
But trans people are special.
Trans people are mystical, magical creatures, and they must be made exempt from any and all rules.
That's what this is really about.
This quote-unquote trans girl, also known as a boy, is claiming that he's been singled out and excluded by a policy that has been applied equally to thousands of other students.
So by not being granted a special exemption, he is a special victim.
By not being singled out, he is being singled out.
And every claim of trans oppression is exactly like this.
The trans person claims to be marginalized if he is merely treated the same as everybody else, which is the exact opposite of marginalization.
But if rules and policies and the very laws of biology are not rewritten for his sake, then he's a victim.
He's being eradicated.
And this is why I've always said that the core of trans ideology is narcissism, the fundamental confusion at the crux of this whole thing.
Is not the belief that boys are girls and girls are boys, but rather it's the belief that the individual trans person is the center of the universe.
There was the geocentric theory of the cosmos, which was replaced by the heliocentric model, of the solar system anyway, which has now been replaced again with the egocentric model.
Because even before all of the confusion about biology, this is the great fallacy that drives trans ideology.
And it's why we need this kind of response from the school in Mississippi.
And I've even seen some alleged conservatives, not surprisingly, taking the side of trans activists on this issue, claiming that the school is being overly harsh and legalistic.
Hey, just let the kid wear what he wants.
Why not?
What's the harm?
Well, the harm is exactly what we're all living through right now.
A society where a privileged group gets to claim special entitlements for themselves and become so accustomed to these entitlements that they'll start convulsing and shrieking and making claims of genocide if they're ever deprived of it.
The harm is a culture of pathological narcissism.
And it's a pretty significant harm, if you hadn't noticed.
But the solution is simple.
Just do exactly what this school is doing.
Set the rules.
Apply them to everybody equally.
Lay out the penalties for those who disobey.
Impose those penalties fairly and dispassionately.
Let the trans crowd scream hysterically about how special they are.
And about how all the special considerations they deserve.
Ignore them.
Because such silliness deserves to be ignored.
When you have someone screaming and crying, a boy screaming and crying because he wants to wear a dress, even though all the other boys are wearing pants, that's not something we even need to pay attention to.
You don't need to go over and console the boy.
This is like, get over it and go with the program, okay?
Here's your dress code, here's your bathroom, here's your sports team.
Don't like it?
That's your problem.
You're not going to make it everybody else's problem.
You are not special.
Okay?
This is what the trans people have said about this.
This is what you have to understand.
You are not special.
You are a person just like everyone else.
And there are certain rules and policies that everybody in history has been fine with and got along with and you can too.
Get with the program or go cry in a corner.
It's up to you.
But we're not catering to you one way or another.
This is the way.
And, of course, it begins with telling all of those who demand special treatment that you are, today, cancelled.
