Absolutely 💯. U should check out "The sound of freedom" hard to watch but necessary. Slavery is actually rampant right here in the USA and it has nothing to do with color. That movie is being smeared due to the spotlight it points at the problem. I really think that's why certain politicians don't want to regulate the border properly 🤔 They would lose all the sex slaves they want to be brought in for their sick sadistic pleasure.
Point of order: A critic accused Matt of pretending to be a DEI expert. From what I saw in the movie, he got an actual DEI certification from an actual online school. So...Matt is a DEI expert.
anybody can be an "expert" in anything. its a meaningless term. you think that most of the endless "experts" the media always refer to in every story tell the truth, let alone are the best in their field?
Yea for as much as an expert one can even be in DEI. It's a very easy thing to learn. Here's what it is "all inequality can be viewed as a struggle between oppressor and oppressed. The oppressors take up the majority and establishe a heteronormative white patriarchy, built by and for those people at the cost of all other groups. To combat this, equity must be provided to those below the top in the form of resources, opportunities, respect, and submission at the cost of those at the top, proportionate to their position in the hierarchy." A shortened version is "the system is inherently racist and sexist, serves white straight cis men the most at the cost of all other races, black trans lesbian women the most, and therefore straight white cis males must give their lives to serving and submitting to all other racial and sexual groups"
If they think their anti racist ideas are so wonderful, they would have been pleased that Matt filmed them. What do they have to hide? They shouldn’t be embarrassed if they feel they are truly helping society. The fact that they are angry by being exposed for what they think is telling.
True. They would never allow someone to record their seminars, so the only way for the public to know what is going on is to be a bit deceptive. Deception is like using a rough edged tool to dig bugs out of the floorboards. Sure the tool might do some floor damage, but you also know that this took does a great job getting to the little buggers...
as a Christian myself, i agree that we should have moral standards, but policing mild comedy films is as stupid a waste of focus as 'shooter' video games was in the 90s/00s. can we please focus on stopping the mutilation of children and murder of babies instead of whining about Matt Walsh wearing a disguise?
Totally agreed. However, Matt's first critic said that deception is something that's limited only to war - and my first thought was, how is this not a war of the culture? It seemed to me to fit into the "war" scenario quite naturally.
Noooo OP, that's the INTERNET. The internet is a proverbial sewage cesspool. I bet ur actual day-to-day life is very normal, routine, even pretty dull and boring. Am I right? I thought so. The internet couldn't be more different from real life.
Guys, let’s just take a moment to recognize YT please. Deciding what you are allowed to say is a thankless job, and it’s hard work. I mean, really think about it, have you ever seen this much censorship in your whole life? Yea, didn’t think about it like that did ya? THAT’S how dedicated YT is. That is how much they care about your speech. Anybody can ALLOW speech. That’s the default because it’s our God given right. YT cares so much, guys, listen. They care so much that they are willing to silence you for your own good. They’re willing to defy your rights because they’re in charge. They’re in charge of what you have to say. And guys, guys, listen, it’s not like they’re trying to kill you. They just want you silenced. I mean, can you imagine though… can you imagine, if they were just able to… like instead of just deleting your words that they HATE, they could just… ahem, what was I saying? Ah yes, YT cares, people. Now come on, in unison… THANKS YT!
I, for one, am thankful that YT doesn't allow me to say the things I want to say. My own words are poisonous to my soul. If I were allowed to post the comments I want to make, my thoughts could be agreed with, and if enough people agreed with my comments, they could be shown at the top of the comment list where someone could see them and have their feelings get hurt. I would never want something like to happen. Ever. Thanks RU-vid.
So many politicians say that before answering a question. It's almost insulting, like you're being admonished somehow. I asked the question and now I'm listening for your answer. I don't need you to tell me to "look". I know it's just a verbal quirk, and probably a stalling technique, but it's annoying nevertheless.
I get tired of them saying "they don't teach slavery in school". No no no, the schools very much have been doing that. I grew up in the early 2000s in California right outside of LA, and for a WHOLE year in 7th or 8th grade, we ONLY talked about slavery, and mainly only black slavery in this country. It made me HATE this country and I almost turned lib. Thankfully I am smarter than most it seems and woke up myself once I got to college and saw how biased it is. And of all things the video game Far Cry 5 made me love my country again
My ex was letting her 14 year old daughter and her boyfriend lie in HER OWN BED in the dark with the door closed and no TV in there to entertain them or anything. If I said anything, it started world war III in the house. About a month later, that 14 year old daughter got pregnant by that boy. I wanted to know his last name, so I could notify his parents. DHS did nothing. My ex ordered abortion pills from out of state because it's illegal here. Again, DHS and police did nothing. I didn't even want them to get in trouble. I just wanted them to be harshly warned and for attention to be brought to it, so the kids would be protected adequately where their mom was not doing it. To me that's the same as Diddy. To shift blame, she tried to make me out to be a creep. She would insinuate that I was creepy, tell people that I was an abusive narcissist and many other things. I stayed silent. I did everything I could to try and protect those kids, and in the end, police granted her a protection order against me illegitimately. Now I'm having to defend myself, just so I can have a chance to be a part of the youngest daughter's life. I raised her since she was too, and I still want to be able to communicate with her so her mom and sisters don't turn her into a degenerate like them.
@@ohsweetmystery example? Everything is 35% more expensive everywhere. Everything is 35% gayer everywhere too... There are more economy-draining government/healthcare ind. Jobs everywhere, while there are less private sector jobs everywhere. No place in the world is better now than it was five years ago. (Even if a few are economically slightly better off now.
Legalization of weed isn't the problem. You can't blame the degradation of our nation on weed when the border is open for anyone. Weed destroying the community??? Stfu Man who doesn't smoke thinks it shouldn't be legal 😏 shocking. I used to do heroin and I got clean off that for fu*k sakes let me smoke pot.
I live in California weed isn’t the problem destroying our community. It’s meth heroin and homeless people with mental problems. Me and a lot of my friends are responsible hard working tax payers. In my opinion I rather smoke than drink I’ve seen booze do way more damage then weed.
So the government want to tell you how to raise your kid. Tell you you can’t tell them they are a boy or girl. Take them away from you when they feel like it, but the parents are responsible if something bad happens? 🤔
I work at a Christian daycare. I'm on my break while the kids are at school as I write this and this morning a kindergartner's clothes and backpack reeked of marijuana. I couldn't believe it. I shouldn't have to tell anybody why that is not ok.
I'm from Montreal, where the stench of weed is EVERYWHERE. I was once a smoker, i was once in favour of it. But then i moved to Poland where it is illegal and i have to say, it is SO REFRESHING to walk down the street and LITERALLY NEVER smell that skunk stench. I don't miss it at all.
How is Poland? My husband and I are looking into moving if we have to somewhere that might be more of a haven from this insane nonsense and Poland was one place we looked at briefly
@@NelidaUtuwatu well they just elected a liberal government so i mean there's that but for the most part it's a significant improvement over the quality of life we had under Trudeau. No objections on my part. We actually moved onto a 10 acre farmland in a little village in rural Poland so ita very quiet, peaceful, and just an overall beautiful place to raise our 4 kids. 10/10 recommend 😊 we chose here because my husband has dual citizenship and by default so do our kids
@@NelidaUtuwatu oh yeah that was a concern for us too. We did have to give our guns away before we got here because it is more challenging to obtain a gun license but it isn't impossible
Name a community that’s been destroyed by legalizing marijuana, it’s just not worth arresting people over because they enjoy it when there are so many worse results from legal substances
One could argue that it's destroyed all of the cities, since shit has gone to hell in the past few years... however... that's just correlation, not causation. I personally smoke on occasion, and know that it's not harmful enough that it should be illegal.
@@roxannekane6142 well I just know how destructive alcohol and alcoholism is. Never seen that with marijuana, but I’ve definitely see people drink themselves to death. Or die in car crashes, or get into a fight and get shot. All things I’ve never seen with marijuana . I just truly can’t believe people think alcohol is acceptable but marijuana isn’t. It shows ignorance because anyone with experience in both can resoundingly say which one is worse physically mentally and which one causes more problems in society. I could give a million examples but what’s the point some people just will never see the benefit it can have on certain people.
@@roxannekane6142 and I should have prefaced that with everything isn’t good for everyone, certain people don’t do well with marijuana and it can be a destructive force in their lives, but this is true regardless of subject matter. This is legislative morality though and people are doing 25-life in prison for growing a plant that’s legal within a 4 hour drive in every direction. That’s madness.
On the weed thing: Weed was legalized in Nevada in November of 2017. I work for the justice system, and since then all I’ve seen is illegal sales go up amongst people under 21. Juvenile homicides have spiked through the roof. None of the taxes they said would be brought in from the dispensaries have gone to anything productive that benefits the greater community. And on top of it mental illness is spiking even higher, with more reports showing a correlation between illnesses like schizophrenia and marijuana usage. Keeping it illegal won’t stop people from using it in Florida, but at least maintain some ethical standards and keep your kids from killing each other over an ounce or a wax pen.
Come on. You think weed is the cause of that. That's ridiculous. Killing over a pen ? Come on. I do agree that the taxes are just lining the pockets of politician's but that's for everything. The. Casinos here were supposed pay for better roads. That never happened. How bout blame the politicians and not the product
@@kellymosher1300 I’ve witnessed it first hand. Juvenile gun crimes have skyrocketed because of the stuff. Can’t buy it without an ID so most of them are getting it second hand from family or friends still dealing, then sell it to their friends. The youngest I’ve seen was a 14 year old who shot and killed a 16 year old after a fight broke out over one shorting the other over a wax pen.
@@wildcatblue1109 absolute garbage. I happen to know a few people who were able to quit drinking because of weed. These were severe alcoholics who can now function. But sure, keep lying
@@stcolreplover Matt saying that is not a good defense for also saying it. His evidence was "I smell it and I saw someone high". You cool with the 450-500 deaths from alcohol each day in the US and that its literally poison for a humans body. Alcohol is the best counter to cannabis haters because there are more deathseach week from alcohol than theres from cannabis in the past 14 years COMBINED. To say cannabis destroys communities is something you deserve to be laughed directly in your face about. It pales in comparison to booze...yet Matt sips that shit like its water on a regular basis. Its a hypocritical arguement if you drink or smoke...and if you do neither and still dont want it legal, you're just ignorant to the facts. Go learn.
Bologna. Indianapolis has no open container law. In fact the law requires that the alcohol be in the vessel it was sold in. Public intoxication is however against the law. You fail to see the slippery slope you're on when demanding these laws. Matt can smoke a fat cigar on the sidewalk of Indianapolis, I should be able to smoke a fat spliff right next to him. I'll be just as coherent on my cannabis high, as Walsh will be on his tobacco high. Stop telling me what I can't consume.
Matt, remind your Christian critics that Jesus was disguised as a common carpenter when he entered the Temple and turned over the tables. You can’t tip the tables if you can’t enter the Temple.
I’m an avid weed smoker and totally agree that the legalization has caused cities to smell and I don’t consider that a positive. However I don’t think you can say a place is destroyed because of it. These places are mostly democrat ran and if you blame weed then it makes your other arguments fall short about the bad leadership of the cities ran from these people.
All he has is the smell. He didn't say anything about crime, or poverty or lack of opportunity... just a smell really. He usually thinks out his arguments better than this. Maybe he can try again, this one was a fail.
@@piquat1 Yeah, and plenty of people are bothered by the smell of cigarette smoke, but they can pound sand. Nobody is trying to make cigarettes illegal on that basis.
@@ohsweetmystery and sitting in jail and paying tons of fines won’t solve them either 😂 so yes it should be legal. Most of us aren’t saying you should be free to smoke wherever whenever, but just like Dave said I should be able to go buy my 💩 and smoke it freely at home without the worry of getting possession charges
@@NateEllisRapzRawas long as it’s still illegal to be publicly intoxicated or to sell it without a license I think it’s fine where it is rn. You shouldn’t be high outside of private property.
You’ll be sorry. I live in California. It wreaks everywhere. Disgusting to smell it on people, to have it ruin your fresh air in our own backyard. I’m disgusted by high people everywhere.
I live in Southern California. There’s a dispensary on almost every block. It doesn’t smell like weed everywhere and I have literally never seen a single person walking around smoking publicly in a way that would affect any reasonable person positively or negatively. It’s the equivalent of seeing someone smoke a cigarette or cigar. I have however seen many people drunkenly stumble around the streets yelling and acting like clowns ruining others peoples good times. We have drunk drivers plowing into cars and trees almost everyday. This place has serious problems but I’m pretty confident saying weed being legal isn’t one. People who get high on the couch and want to pet their dog a little more aren’t hurting anybody or making anyone’s life worse. Full disclosure I don’t drink and occasionally like to smoke.
I'm in California about half the time. Some days you can't get away from the smell. People smoke it in hotel rooms and it comes out in the hallway. I was on a ski lift in Lake Tahoe and some kids were smoking it on the lift ahead of me. I go to bars and see drug dealers come into the bar. Then they are followed into the parking lot with their patrons. It is in fact a gateway drug for young people. Who goes to a dispensary when its cheaper on the street? People like you have patronized a blood trade that has ruined millions of lives.
@@scottw5315 then we should go after the drug dealers who are peddling because whether you want to believe it or not the weed sold from a dispensary is not laced with anything dangerous any won’t hurt anyone. Saying no one is going to go to a dispensary is like saying who’s gonna go to Whole Foods for their groceries when the random guy selling roadkill is way cheaper. If you cant afford to shell out a couple extra bucks to go through legal means you may have other more pressing issues to deal with, not to mention only low IQ individuals would buy from them anyway. It could maybe be a gateway drug for stupid people who want to trip balls and realize that weed isn’t gonna do it. You will literally NEVER hallucinate on it and it will NEVER kill you or any of your friends or ruin their lives. If the worst thing you can actually point to is it’s gonna smell a little weird sometimes then you aren’t gonna be convincing me anytime soon, especially if you can’t keep the same energy and go after alcohol and people who drink it for being statistically more dangerous, destructive, and LEGITIMATELY ruinous to the lives of millions then it would seem you care more about not letting people enjoy something you don’t personally agree with than the safety and wellbeing of the community. It’s a really bad faith argument. People like you have villainized a literal leaf that’s been around for centuries utilized by hundred of civilizations then go and all but celebrate a literal poison that increases aggressiveness, makes you lose control and has not a single legitimate health benefit.
The only reason these communities are having issues with marijuana legalization is the fact that the Fed won't legalize it and YOU KNOW THIS MATT. Quit reciting bullshit without addressing the whole issue. These people aren't allowed to use banks... Our country is half-assing everything. Just because it's the best country doesn't mean it's good. I can agree with you on most things, but this is willful ignorance.

I don't even view what you did as lying at all. It is an attempt to extract the truth from other people. You are setting up a situation to see how people honestly respond. So you are acting out a character that would elicit honest responses from them. You even gave them the benefit of knowing they are being filmed. So they know there is potential that anyone else could watch what they are saying and/or pull clips out of it.
Yesterday I saw a banner on my YT home page asking if I had registered to vote. I clicked on 'Learn More' and got a popup that said... 'Don't worry about it'.
Marijuana has been legal in all of Canada for several years, nothing changed, you go to a government supply store, all the products have been tested for DBD and THC and labelled for use. As it should have been done 45 years ago.
I live in a community that legalized pot several years ago. Has the community changed?? Yes. Is everyone stoned everywhere you go? No, Are people stoned on the job? no more than before. Of course, if you have a good job and get stoned at work you will most likely get fired just like if you showed up to work drunk every day. So no, everyone is not stoned all the time. No, you can't smell pot everywhere you go. Has it produced much needed jobs in my community? Yes, Has making it legal saved taxpayers millions of enforcement tax dollars that were wasted throwing people in jail for a harmless plant and has allowed law enforcement to concentrate on real crime? Yes. Also, my community is raking in MILLIONS in taxes off of the sale of marijuana and accessories. So not only are we spending less money on useless enforcement, we are now raking in the cash in the millions with taxes, my state will rake in over $1 BILLION in tax revenue over the next year. Most people smoke it at home, however, some people defy the law and smoke it in public, I live in a beach town and there are always people smoking pot at the beach, big deal, people smoke cigars and cigarettes at the beach too. You said you got "new information" that changed your mind, so clear you could "see it" and "smell it" but I was pretty unimpressed when you came up with nothing but a vague "it is destroying my community" but don't tell us how because you can't, and it's not, and won't! I hope Florida legalizes pot.
Portnoy is also doing the thing where he leaves a crappy city/state for a better one, and then turns around and says, “I could do this where I came from!” Blindly ignoring what they run away from. If you need weed so bad, go back.
Cassie is no victim. She stayed for monetary reason so she knew how hollywood worked. She gets no sympathy from me. She literally left her engagement for diddy.
It's not easy to escape, these horrible situations. No one expects a loved partner to hurt them this way, it does not start with hitting and kicking, it starts with mental manipulation, instilling dependency, insecurity, "you need me, your nothing without me, where would you be without me, on the street like the whole you are..." years of these messages then hair pulling broken bones, kicking... most women never escape, it takes great courage and not a little outside support and years of therapy. The terror remai s for the rest of the victims life. Speak with shelters, police, therapist, read about it. You could help these women simply by understanding, make yourself and others aware.
@@theresagilmer1568 there is a whole sugar baby dating site where women actively seek successful generous men willingly to impart his wealth on her. Do you think these women aren't willing to barter they're bodies for gifts. Wake up. This is the real world vanity and wealth are a mouse trap to women.
One example, how about the fact those states are not breaking up families by dragging men and women into a cage for having a plant the government hasn’t granted permission for.
Communities can't properly function if cannabis is completely unregulated. Matt is right about that. It results in people smoking on the sidewalk, or at work. I don't agree with his old fashioned view that people shouldn't be able to use it, but i do think that having some laws and regulations in place would force cannabis users to behave more responsibly. It's against the law to drink on the sidewalk. If most people show up to work visibly drunk, they get fired. These laws don't stop people from using or abusing alcohol, they just keep people from being irresponsible.
@@alabamacoastie6924 That's not true. You can walk down the sidewalk in any city where it's legal and it's clear there are cannabis users who think they're entitled to do it whenever and wherever they want.
On the topic of legalizing weed, Matt Walsh claims that cities are worst off because of recreational weed, and his examples are "it smells bad and people are walking stoned", well that is not an example of cities that are "worst off". I could see if he claimed, violent crimes are on the rise because of the legalization of cannabis, then yes that would be a legitimate reason, but he does not do that.
I can understand why Justin was acting out a bit, now that all of this is coming out. It's normal to act out when you went through trauma, which he clearly went through.
Matt should consider corollary effects when he oddly asserts that pot "destroys" communities. He alludes to observations, but is he observing areas in blue states? Specifically cities run by ultra-leftists? If pot were legal in my state, I doubt my quiet middle class community would change much. Plenty of people here (and everywhere) smoke it anyway. But if God forbid my community saw an uptick in actual crime? I really don't want my local cops tied up in pot busts. A major thing Matt Walsh fails to consider.
You don’t have a leg to stand on in a country with legal Alcohol. The most destructive drug on the planet. I am drinking a vodka cocktail rn for reference.
Nope. Addicts are addicts. If you are going to drink too much you will. Weed turns normal people that could be beneficial to society into nothing but a burden. They are not equal or they would be treated as such.
been driving this point home in the comments. Alcohol kills 450-500 people A DAY, in the USA. Cannabis has killed an average of 1 person a day since 2000, less than 100/ year before 2012. And that doesnt even take in to account hardcore drug laced cannabis which is HUGE right now and whats killing pot smokers currently.
Show me an area that’s predominantly white and I’ll show you a low crime area that’s probably pretty nice to live in regardless of whether marijuana is legal there or not.
Chief Shitwood used to be Police chief where I grew up in Portland, Me. My friend stole my uncles camaro and did donuts on his lawn. His goons broke his nose and roughed him up.
Since weed was legalized here in Washington State, we now have over 10 warehouses growing weed within a five mile radius from my house. My whole neighborhood reeks like skunk and everyone drives like they’re stoned.
Matt, yes! Boston, Massachusetts STINKS👃 😷wherever you go. Drivers smoke. Delivery people stink up the lobby and elevator while making deliveries. Playgrounds that welcome young children stink to high heaven! Smoked cannabis should never have been placed on the ballot. Maybe edible cannabis for medicinal purposes…maybe for recreational purposes. I’m not interested in it at all. I don’t appreciate how intrusive cannabis has become in the daily lives of people who aren’t even using it. Those who smoke it don’t have the energy to care about their yellow teeth, stinky hair and clothing and the intrusive nature of their substance of choice.
When I was in the service back in the mid 1970's drug abuse was a huge problem. The rule was "just don't do it on the ship". Well..that was blown off and we had huge drug abuse problems.
compare cannabis to alcohol...go look at death stats. Total cannabis deaths in the 21st century, the last 24 YEARS, total less than the amount of US alcohol deaths that happen every month. 450-500 people die every day in the US. So if you arent for legal cannabis and de-scheduling, you better not be for alcohol or tobacco because those are both FAR FAR worse for the human body. And that was 50 years ago. Cannabis has a lot of use and purpose in the world due to technology and research, far beyond smoking. So if you stay ignorant on cannabis because "I smell it or I saw a high person." you are part of the problem, slowing the advancements in the medical world.
As a parent in Florida, I don't care how much money you have to spend to keep them safe. $21k is nothing compared to their lives. Don't act like tips on school shootings are a bad thing because then no one will say anything and kids will die. This was very poorly handled.
His argument is that alcohol is so deeply ingrained in American society already, considering we had to establish a federal constitutional amendment to allow states to regulate alcohol away from the purview of the federal government, that it is fundamentally different from marijuana. Basically Matt recognizes legal alcohol in society is as bad if not worse for the fabric of the community than legal marijuana, however to paraphrase him from another episode "we shouldn't be adding to the bad things we legalize in society, even in the interest of personal freedom." Kind of wild considering someone as politically savvy as Matt should understand that in a free society that some things should simply just be the price of freedom. Not every freedom should be required to pass a net-positive-for-society test in order for that freedom to be legal.
