Episode Overview

In this episode, Matt Walsh launches a two-part special investigative series, "The Real History of the Civil Rights Movement," available on Daily Wire. This monologue challenges the mainstream narrative about the Civil Rights movement and alleges that Americans have been profoundly misled about its history, leaders, and consequences. Walsh compares the movement's aftermath to the destruction of Hiroshima, claiming its impact has been catastrophic for America and asserting that the era was characterized not by nonviolence and progress, but by violence and ongoing social harm.

Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. The Media as Architects of Historical Narratives

• Opening Reflection ([00:00])
  Walsh begins by introducing his new series, arguing that what most Americans know about history, especially the Civil Rights era, is a product of "corporate media outlets and academics" who routinely distort facts.

  "The version of history that you were taught in school, particularly concerning the most important developments in the last century or so, was written by the same kind of people who will look you in the eye today and fabricate everything they say, people who have no credibility whatsoever." — Matt Walsh ([01:32])

• Uses recent NBC News coverage referring to the 2020 Kenosha BLM riots as a “civil rights rally” as evidence of media bias and revisionism.

  “NBC News has decided to memorialize all of this extensive left wing violence as a civil rights rally, because that's how they want future historians to document the riots in Kenosha.” — Matt Walsh ([03:55])

• Draws a parallel between real-time media distortion (Kenosha, 2020) and retroactive distortions of the 1960s.

2. Questioning the Nonviolence Narrative of the Civil Rights Movement

• Media Framing, Historical Comparison ([05:00–08:00])
  Walsh features a local news anchor explaining why crowd control tools like water cannons (“fire hoses”) are not used today, framing the use during the 1960s as villainous.
  • Walsh counters, arguing that water cannons were standard for riot control, not uniquely racist.
  • Criticizes the "sanctification" of civil rights demonstrators as uniformly peaceful.
• Children as 'Bait' in Protests ([08:00–12:40])
  Details planning of the Birmingham protests, claiming organizers deliberately used children to provoke a police response for media outrage.
  • Clips: Justin J. Pearson, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC) comment on the strategic media use of children in protests.

  "They wanted to use the children as bait to try to get some sympathetic photographs when the police tried to clear the streets." — Matt Walsh ([12:39])

3. Allegations of Widespread Violence Among Demonstrators

• Civil Rights Protests: Not Nonviolent? ([15:44])
  Cites James Bevel (organizer of Birmingham Children's Crusade) acknowledging demonstrators with weapons throwing rocks at police.

  "The students, heeding Bevel's call for nonviolence, pointed at the adults who had rocks, knives and guns… not a non violent protest." — Matt Walsh ([16:40])

• Suggests mainstream reporting and education deliberately omit violence and illegality of the protests to preserve the moral high ground.

4. Sit-ins, Campus Protests, and Escalation to Violence

• Refers to the 1969 Cornell building occupation, Gator Incident at San Francisco State, the Marin County courthouse hostage situation (Angela Davis), and the "Zebra Murders" — linking these incidents to broader civil rights activism, labeling them terrorism or anti-white violence.

  “History books just sort of skip over all that. This was a heroic sit in for justice and know that's that.” — Matt Walsh ([21:00])

5. Anti-White Violence Allegations and Movement Motivations

• Claims the civil rights movement was violent and, fundamentally, “anti-white” from the start.
• Alleges these facts have been airbrushed by media and education in favor of "carefully curated pictures and videos" that reinforce a myth of peaceful struggle.

6. Modern Echoes: Media Manipulation & Political Staging

• Critiques contemporary activists, focusing on Tennessee lawmaker Justin J. Pearson and viral imagery suggesting racial oppression, which Walsh calls "activist theater."

  "Every aspect of his behavior is an act. None of it is real." — Matt Walsh ([32:26])

• Revisits the Rosa Parks story, branding it "fake" and orchestrated by civil rights leaders for publicity.

  "The iconic photo of Parks on the bus was staged months after the incident as part of a press campaign." — Matt Walsh ([30:00])

7. Rhetoric, Race, and Political Theater

• Plays clips of Justin J. Pearson code-switching and likens his style to Martin Luther King, Jr., suggesting both were engaged in “theatrical phoniness.”
  • Features Noam Chomsky admitting to being turned off by “uplifting rhetoric,” including MLK speeches.

8. Gerrymandering & Redistricting Battles as Civil Rights

• Analyzes the Supreme Court’s recent ruling prohibiting race-based districting, which Democrats denounce as erasing black representation.
• Quotes viral posts calling for violence/genocide against Southern whites, using these as illustrative of an unbroken pattern of "anti-white" rhetoric and agitation.

  “Now that they can’t do that, the left is calling for genocide of white conservatives.” — Matt Walsh ([41:00])

9. Education & Control of Historical Memory

• References surveys where MLK, Harriet Tubman, and Rosa Parks top lists of most-famous Americans among students, suggesting a radical rewriting of central historical figures from the mid-1990s onward.
• Suggests MLK’s family enforces legal and media control specifically to prevent critical reappraisal of his character.

10. Conclusions and Call to Action

• Claims the only way to counteract Democrat “propaganda” is for Republicans to actively contest cultural and political territory, ignore activist “mayhem,” and reject the mainstream narrative entirely.

  “If we had more Republicans like this in the 1960s, the country would be in a much better place today.” — Matt Walsh ([63:31])

• Touts GOP success in the aftermath of new Supreme Court districting rules as a hopeful trend.

11. Exclusive Preview: "The Real History of the Civil Rights Movement" Series

• Preview features the claim that King’s legacy is legally protected by his family to prevent scrutiny and alleges that the true nature of the movement — funding, goals, violence — has always been hidden and must be exposed.

Memorable Quotes & Moments (with Timestamps)

• Media as Unreliable Witness:

  "If such a well established media organization is willing to lie like this about a violent riot that everybody remembers… then why exactly does anyone trust the narratives about peaceful protests during the civil rights era?" — Matt Walsh ([05:00])

• On Civil Rights Tactics:

  "…they wanted to use the children as bait to try to get some sympathetic photographs when the police tried to clear the streets using a lawful, well established method of crowd control, Non lethal method…" — Matt Walsh ([12:39])

• On Narrative Control:

  “History as you probably know it, is fake. MLK and the civil rights movement were unpopular because they were correctly tied to mayhem and murder.” — Matt Walsh ([28:30])

• Modern Staging:

  "Activist theater is presented as a profound spur of the moment stand against oppression to create an emotional superstructure for radical change." — Matt Walsh ([30:10])

• Code Switching & Oratory:

  “None of it is real. And if you doubt that, now's a good time to play the clip of Pearson from when he attended a small, extremely expensive liberal arts school in Maine.” — Matt Walsh ([33:17])

• Noam Chomsky on MLK:

  “I can't listen to Martin Luther King speeches literally, although I greatly admire him because it's just the style.” — Noam Chomsky ([35:40])

• On Redistricting Rhetoric:

  "She says, quote, there are bodies all across fields and in rivers across this country because they marched just advocating for the right to vote. That's not true at all." — Matt Walsh ([53:44])

Overall Tone & Language

Walsh maintains an intense, combative tone—challenging received wisdom, accusing the media and left-wing activists of mass deception, and painting a picture of civil rights activism as fundamentally violent, coordinated, and fraudulent. He employs pointed language, sarcasm (e.g., about “fake preacher voices”), and direct quotation. The style is polemical, dismissive of mainstream views, and intentionally provocative.

---

Final Thoughts

Matt Walsh’s episode seeks to deconstruct the traditional portrayal of the Civil Rights movement, casting its leaders and activists as orchestrators of violence and manipulators of public narrative. Throughout, he draws lines between 1960s activism and contemporary progressive politics, alleging unbroken patterns of racial animosity, staged events, and manipulation. He urges his audience to seek alternative histories outside of what is taught in schools and mainstream sources, previewing a series he claims will definitively challenge widely accepted accounts.

Transcript

[Matt Walsh]

Today marks the launch of one of the most significant projects I've worked on in my entire career. That is the real history of the Civil Rights movement on the daily wire. This is a two part series about the largest and deadliest con job ever perpetrated against the American population. The civil Rights movement and its aftermath, in terms of the number of lives lost and the damage that it's done to our nation, was comparable to the bombing of Hiroshima. And that is not an overstatement. The disastrous effects of the civil Rights era still define our society to this day. And that's why you're not allowed to even think of criticizing this movement or its leaders. And once you begin to ask questions and look for answers, their entire narrative collapses. And that's exactly what this new series will demonstrate. Now, just the other day, NBC News of all places, illustrated precisely why every American needs to reevaluate what he knows about this supposedly sacred period in our history. Because you see, no matter how knowledgeable you think you are about history in general, no matter how many books you've read or documentaries you've watched, you don't fully understand any of it unless you pay attention. When history is being written in real time right in front of you by corporate media outlets and academics, the education system. Once you've witnessed a major event of national significance and then you see how news outlets and politicians immediately lie about what happened, then you begin to realize that there is no historian and no primary source that you can actually fully trust. It's one of the most eye opening revelations you can have and every serious person needs to experience it. The version of history that you were taught in school, particularly concerning the most important developments in the last century or so, was written by the same kind of people who will look you in the eye today and fabricate everything they say, people who have no credibility whatsoever. Now, by far the most consequential series of lies, lies that you've been taught were designed to spread a false narrative about the so called civil rights movement. Think of how many times you were taught that Martin Luther King led nonviolent protests or that black protesters engaged in peaceful sit ins to protest racial injustice. And then take a look at this news headline which was published a couple days ago by NBC News, quote, Kyle Rittenhouse, who gained fame for opening fire at a 2020 civil rights rally in Wisconsin, was hospitalized after he was bitten by a venomous spider. The noted firearms enthusiast says. Now if you were watching SNL on Saturday, you heard pretty much the exact same line on the weekend Update segment. Yes, Kyle Rittenhouse opened fire at a 2020 civil rights rally, we're told. A civil rights rally. That's how NBC News, one of the largest news organizations on the planet, has chosen to describe a BLM riot that in a span of just two days, caused more than $50 million in property damage, including an arson attack that destroyed a used car dealership and 100 vehicles on the lot, the destruction of several city owned garbage trucks, the firebombing of the county courthouse, and the ransacking of a large supermarket. The county declared, of course, a state of emergency. The National Guard was deployed to this civil rights rally. On the third night of the rioting, Kyle Rittenhouse, as you know, joined other armed civilians to prevent more destruction. So the mob targeted him, beginning with a crazed pedophile named Joseph Rosenbaum, who was just released from a mental asylum that same day. Rosenbaum couldn't get his bipolar medication because the pharmacy was closed due to the riot. So he decided to chase Kyle Rittenhouse instead, forcing him to fire in self defense when he was finally cornered. And when the rest of the mob caught up with Rittenhouse, including one man who attempted to beat Rittenhouse with a skateboard and another who pointed a loaded gun at him, Rittenhouse again defended himself. Now, there's no dispute about any of this. It was all caught on camera, which is why Rittenhouse was acquitted less than six years later. NBC News has decided to memorialize all of this extensive left wing violence as a civil rights rally, because that's how they want future historians to document the riots in Kenosha. And of course, future historians will oblige. Instead of recording the violence in Wisconsin, which was mostly committed by antifa communists and black radicals, the historians will write about how Kyle Rittenhouse descended on a peaceful, non violent civil rights demonstration and opened fire. You know, that's the goal they want future generations of school children to believe. A complete inversion of reality. One that valorizes the left wing agitators, even the left wing terrorists, and portrays any white man who tried to restore order as a dangerous, unhinged bigot. And here's the point that should make you wonder, you know, if such a well established media organization is willing to lie like this about a violent riot that everybody remembers in an era when everybody has social media and access to unlimited video evidence and information, then why exactly does anyone trust the narratives about peaceful protests during the civil rights era? If we have ourselves witnessed in real time as violent, barbaric riots were recategorized as civil rights protests, then what might that tell us about the so called civil rights protests of the 1960s? Now, whatever the explanation is, there's no doubt that throughout the country an overwhelming number of people buy these narratives. In fact, if you dare to contradict any of these claims, you'll be labeled a dangerous MAGA white supremacist. Take this clip for example. It's from a local news station in Portland, Oregon, from the height of the BLM riots. Now, granted, this particular news station is irrelevant, but I'm showing you this clip because it's representative of how pretty much everybody will respond today if you talk to them about the civil rights protests. This is something every history teacher in every public school will say. Watch.

[Local Portland News Anchor]

I do want to address a question though, that really surprised me early on. But we just, we kept getting it over and over and over again. So I feel like we do have to address it tonight. Here's one. Hey, Dan, instead of Portland using CS gas or tear gas, why hasn't the city of Portland looked into water cannons for crowd control? So over the past two months, we've gotten, I don't know, 10, maybe more emails like this asking why police aren't using fire hoses or water cannons on protesters. So for those of you who know the history of the civil rights movement in this country, I would hope that the answer is obvious. But not everyone does, so I'll give you the benefit of the doubt. Police and firefighters, they've tried this before, all right? They used fire hoses and water cannons or on black people during peaceful, non violent protests in the 1960s. This isn't just a spritz of water. I mean, these are high pressure hoses turned up so high that they knock people over that they literally rip people's clothes off. Hoses were used on protesters in Birmingham, Alabama in 1963. Life magazine printing this very famous photo here of black high school students being forced against a wall by a hose. Children and other young people were also hit, along with being clubbed by police and attacked by dogs. These images drew national outcry, including from Oregon senator Wayne Morse. He compared what was happening in Birmingham to apartheid in South Africa. Now, if you are familiar with that history, but you still think police should be using fire hoses on protesters, then just don't email me about it, okay? If you're expressing an opinion just to be racist, don't do that, because I'm not afraid to call you out on it.

[Matt Walsh]

Oh, he's not afraid. What a brave guy. He's a Very self important guy who's completely ignorant about what he's talking about, which is the norm for the news industry, especially in Portland. He reads teleprompters for a living and clearly doesn't know anything about history. And yet he feels very confident in lecturing his audience about the fact that in his view, water hoses are an unacceptable method of crowd control because they were used by racist whites like Bull Connor to suppress peaceful, non violent black protesters, including children. And if you disagree on that point, then you're a horrible human being. You're a racist. No further discussion permitted. Well, first of all, water hoses were used for decades before the civil rights movement. They were used in all kinds of different contexts to suppress violent riots, especially riots involving union workers and factories. And there's a very good argument for bringing water cannons back because if you haven't noticed, Antifa shows up with gas masks to every riot now. But you can't wear a mask to protect yourself from a water cannon. Could have saved hundreds of millions of dollars worth of property damage in 2020, along with many lives if police were willing to use water cannons instead of sitting around doing nothing. Kyle Rittenhouse wouldn't have needed to grab his AR15 to defend a single small business if the police had used water cannons to clear the streets. And secondly, when the self important news anchor talks about children getting hit with these cannons, he's leaving out a very few very important details, one of which is that the children were chosen specifically by the organizers in Birmingham to go on the streets, deliberately commit crimes and generate as much outrage as possible. When the authorities responded, authorities in Birmingham had gone to court and secured an injunction against these mass gatherings which obstructed the roadways and caused obvious civil disorder. So the organizers of the civil rights march told the children to violate the law in hopes of attracting as much media attention as possible. When the police responded to clear the streets, in other words, the police didn't go out of their way to harass or assault black children who weren't doing anything wrong. The civil rights groups told the black children to provoke the police and break the law. Watch the Birmingham campaign reaches a crisis. Bull Connor and the segregationist politicians get an injunction against marching. Once you issue an injunction, violating that injunction automatically sends you to jail and your sentence can be pretty arbitrary. It's up to the judge. With the injunction in place, Bull Connor skyrockets bail amounts for protesters, draining organizers funds so fast that they can't keep their promise to bail everyone out quickly. We had a delegation of the black business community that was under extreme pressure. And they actually asked Dr. King and all of us to leave. And they said, look, birmingham is too tough. This nonviolence is not working. That was the thing that threatened to kill the movement. Short on funds and facing pushback from local leaders, Momentum for the birmingham campaign

The movement is imploding. Northern media are going back to New

York and they're going back to Washington.

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC)]

They realize that they have to do something that is going to capture the attention of the country. So it has to be something that is different. It has to be something that people just wouldn't expect to see or that people would be so shocked that they had no choice but to act.

[Matt Walsh]

That's when the discussions begin about whether to allow school aged kids to be involved.

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC)]

There are all kinds of reasons for why using children in a campaign like this would be a powerful idea. Media from all over the globe is going to cover a march that is made up of children. But also they understood what it would mean to see children facing abuse on television.

[Matt Walsh]

Well, this is as far as civil rights activists and mainstream documentaries will go. They'll concede that they wanted to use the children as bait to try to get some sympathetic photographs when the police tried to clear the streets using a lawful, well established method of crowd control, Non lethal method, by the way. But the really interesting question is, did the police really sick dogs and spray water cannons at completely non violent protesters? The news anchor in Portland seemed awfully sure of that claim in his version of history, which is the default version of events taught in every school in the entire country for decades. In that version, the racist police simply decided that they didn't like the peaceful protesters because they were racist. So they hosed them down. They were not responding to any genuine threat. Once you have a wife and children, you stop thinking only about yourself. It's part of being a husband and a father and it's a good change. You start thinking about responsibility differently, not just paying bills or going to work. You think about what happened to your family if something happened to you. And that's when it's time to accept that life insurance really does matter. Because protecting your family means preparing for situations that you hope never happen. And that's why people use ethos.

A lot of men hit adulthood and then just stop trying. At some point they decide Gym shorts, wrinkled T shirts and the same hoodie from sophomore year of college are apparently acceptable forever. Part of the problem is that most nice clothes are uncomfortable. Dress shirts feel stiff, pants don't move properly, everything needs ironing or dry cleaning, so people just give up. And that's why Mizzen and Main works. Mizzen and Main is a veteran led organization that supports veteran causes year round.

[Matt Walsh]

The truth is that many of the nonviolent protesters he's talking about were about as nonviolent as the antifa and BLM rioters who set downtown Kenosha on Fire in 2020 and many other cities. Which is to say, they were not nonviolent at all. It's extremely difficult to find any accurate reporting on this topic. As you might imagine, no mainstream news source even at the time would provide anything approaching an honest report on these riots. So in that respect, you know, not much has changed. But if you spend any amount of time listening to the black activists who actually participated in these supposedly non violent demonstrations, here's what they'll tell you. This is an interview with a man named James Bevel. He was one of the organizers of the Children's crusade In Birmingham, where the water hoses were famously used, Beville, many times over, did preach non violence. But he also acknowledged that many of the demonstrators were attacking police officers. This is from an interview in the documentary Eyes on the Prize. And here's what Beville said. Quote, what I did actually was tell the students that they had to respect police officers, that their job was to help police and to keep order. Police were not, were there to keep order, and that the people who was there throwing things was probably paid instigators and therefore he had to watch them. And it was very effective. It started all the students to pointing at adults who had rocks and knives and guns. Then the adults had to start dropping them because it would have started a riot and a riot would have gotten off the issue. Well, it's interesting. The students, heeding Bevel's call for nonviolence, pointed at the adults who had rocks, knives and guns. They identified the people who were throwing things, most likely rocks at police officers, in other words. Indeed, this was not a non violent protest. In reality, in addition to participating in an illegal public gathering and blocking the roadways, demonstrators had armed themselves with deadly weapons. They threw objects, bottles, rocks and so on, directly at the police officers. That's not according to Bull Connor or the local police. That's according to one of the black civil rights activists who led the march. Now, all this violence has been conveniently left out of the narrative that you'll find today in school textbooks. It's a very deliberate omission. Just like NBC News will flagrantly lie about what happened in Kenosha, the people writing the history books understand that if they're going to maintain the moral high ground, they need to airbrush history as much as they possibly can. If NBC News can call the Kenosha riots a civil rights rally in 2026, there's no doubt that the media could also flagrantly lie about these civil rights marches in the 1960s. If they can lie about what happened six years ago, they can lie about what happened 60 years ago much more easily. It's not exactly a stretch, especially when you take a look at the kinds of cartoons that newspapers in the south were publishing at the time. Here's one from Charles Brooks, which you can see right there. It was originally published in the Birmingham News in the 1960s. It shows Martin Luther King Jr. Declaring, I plan to lead another nonviolent march tomorrow as the city lies in ruins behind him. Now, if you show this to anyone on the left today, they'll tell you that, well, this cartoon was part of a vast right wing conspiracy to just besmirch the good name of Martin Luther King Jr. But the simplest explanation, which is that these civil rights rallies were actually extremely violent, makes a lot more sense, especially when you follow the pattern up to today, up to the civil, the so called civil rights marches we've seen with our own eyes today. And that's not even getting into these supposedly peaceful sit ins that, that we're, you're told about. You're supposed to conclude that it's totally peaceful to occupy an establishment without paying for anything while also refusing to leave. This is called criminal trespassing. But every single history textbook claims that it's a brave righteous form of protest that nobody is allowed to respond to. Now on that note, here's some peaceful black demonstrators leading a non violent crowd, unquote, sit in at Cornell University in 1969, for example, they took over a building that didn't belong to them and they threatened to shoot anyone who interfered. Pay, pay no attention to the, to the guns and the ammo belts, you know, peaceful guns and ammo belts. Never mind the fact that these black activists committed domestic terrorism and endangered the lives of everybody on the campus. History books just sort of skip over all that. This was a heroic sit in for justice and know that's that. Along the same lines, ignore the fact that in 1967 a large group of black students violently attacked the editor of the student newspaper at San Francisco State University because he wrote an op ed opposing DEI programs. That was called the Gator Incident and you're not supposed to talk about it. And certainly ignore the large scale riot that followed a year later leading to the occupation of a university building and the response by the university which was to implement quote, programs to admit 400 ghetto students for the fall semester. Oh, and disregard the fact that in 1970 black militants kidnapped a judge, a prosecutor and three jurors hostage and held them hostage in Marin County, California seeking the release of black criminals. These mostly peaceful protests were not just threats and beatings, they were murders too. Some were targeted, others were totally random. Those militants ultimately, ultimately killed that judge with a sawed off shotgun taped to his neck. Angela Davis, a civil rights activist, quote unquote, who owned the weapons used in the attack in the courthouse, but denied any prior knowledge of the crime and who was later acquitted on all charges related to the incident, would go on to become one of the most celebrated leftists in the entire country. The left still reveres Angela Davis today, not in spite of her connections to the Black Panthers and radical violence. But because of them, Davis is the last living recipient of the Soviet Union's Lenin Peace Prize, which is a strange but fitting honor for a woman who was linked through the firearms to an act of domestic terrorism in which an innocent father's head was literally blown off with a shotgun. Then there's the fact that Pepperdine University used to be located in South Central la, but had to move their campus because white students kept getting attacked at random. And black students, spurred on by the Panthers and civil rights activists, quote, unquote, nearly burned down one of the school's auditoriums during one of the many campus takeovers that kept happening. And we can't forget the case of Mark Essex, the New Orleans sniper who killed nine people, including five police officers in 1972 and 1973. He explicitly targeted whites and was only taken out after a Marine helicopter pilot commandeered an assault helicopter in and picked up random police officers to open fire on Essex from above. I mean, that's quite a story. It's the kind of story you'd think everybody would know about. It's certainly cinematic enough for Hollywood to make a movie about it, but they never did. And the schools don't talk about it. And basically these days nobody knows about it for obvious reasons, because you see this pattern where the so called civil rights movement that we're often told became violent in 2020. Well, in it was violent the entire time. It was anti white and violent the entire time from the beginning into now. It's kind of like with the feminists where they say that, well, something happened with the latest wave of feminists where they became anti family and anti man. No, they actually were that from the very beginning, the entire time, this is how they've been. Nothing changed. This is what the movement was fundamentally from the start. But back to the civil rights movement. Also buried were these so called zebra murders which took place in San Francisco from 1973 to 1974. They never get any attention whatsoever. At least 15 white people were killed and many others wounded in a series of attacks by at least four black serial killers tied to the Nation of Islam who called themselves the Death Angels. And to this day, we still don't know the total number of white people who were killed or the total number of black attackers. The killing spree was inseparable from the civilization civil rights movement. The San Francisco police had been thrown into disarray by an activist federal judge over a civil rights lawsuit related to diversity policy when the murders began and when the police tried to use emergency measures to stop the murders. They immediately faced lawsuits from the ACLU and and NAACP that shut those down. According to one professor, the Zebra murders, quote, may have killed more people in the early to mid-1970s than all the other serial killers operating during that period combined. When a handful of suspects were eventually caught only because police were reduced to bribing one of the death angels to turn on his, turn on his co conspirators with cash and the promise not to prosecute. The longest trial in California history followed. It was. It was all a circus. All this to say history as you probably know it, is fake. MLK and the civil rights movement were unpopular because they were correctly tied to mayhem and murder. All the crazy civil rights laws that were we are undoing today were forced on the public by terrorism. Everyone had to accept the happy lie that it was only a peaceful revolution. You're not told about any of this anti white violence in school. Instead, you're fed a series of carefully curated pictures and videos to reinforce the false narrative that black activists were noble and peaceful and were primarily interested in racial equality. The reality is the opposite. At every turn, black activists use violence, slander and propaganda to achieve their goals. They staged everything very deliberately in order to promote maximum outrage. And to this day, they're still doing it. People are exhausted financially right now. Groceries, rent, insurance, they all cost more. And meanwhile, millions of Americans are carrying debt they can't seem to get out from under. It goes beyond just reckless spending. A lot of ordinary people are running out of room financially.

Here it is. He's got his glasses on. He's getting in the face of the sergeant at arms who's white. Pearson was trying to get into the committee room where the Judiciary Committee was considering a redistricting redistricting proposal and the sergeant at arms is blocking him. Now it's staged to look like the white cop is keeping the black politician from doing his job because, you know, he's white and racist. And indeed, that's how millions of people understood the image. The propaganda began immediately. It was very effective. This post got 5 million views. 64,000 likes. For example. QUOTE the KKK is alive and well in Tennessee. The Sergeant of Arms blocks Representative Justin Pearson from entering a committee meeting about redrawing the map specifically for the district he represents. Effing shameful. This post is from Hassan Jeffries, the brother of Democrats leader in the House of Representatives. It also went viral. Quote John Brown understood the only way to free America from the scourge of white supremacy was to get rid of white supremacists by any means necessary. He was right then, he's right now. Never mind the fact that John Brown was A delinquent, a traitor and a lunatic who murdered innocent people, including a free black man. Now he's a hero in the Democrat Party because history is whatever they want it to be and they want more violence. Meanwhile, this post received nearly 20,000 likes. QUOTE this is what Jim Crow looks like. Do not look away. And then one more with over a million views. Quote. Modern day Bull Connor blocking the floor to the Tennessee State House floor from the only black member as they strip him of office. Kind of makes you wonder about the things you were taught about Bull Connor and Jim Crow, doesn't it? Even before we get into how stupid these comments are, I mean, look how effortlessly they invoke these historical figures and episodes. If standing guard at a door is enough to qualify you as Bill, as Bull Connor, then we need to go back and take a look at who Bull Connor was. Exactly. Just for completeness, I'll mention that many other similar images that went viral as well from the Tennessee State House. We'll put some of them up on the screen. All of these were viewed millions of times from this recent episode. They're trying to look as oppressed as possible, like it's a replay of the 1960s. They're even putting the black and white filter on some of these images. And it has the exact opposite effect of what they're going for. It doesn't make you think these people are heroes. It makes you realize how fake the 60s were. Now, in the meantime, back in reality, Pearson was blocked because he is not a member of the Senate Judiciary Committee. In fact, he's not even a member of the State Senate. Therefore, he's not allowed into a meeting for members of the Senate Judiciary Committee. Pretty simple. He wasn't allowed in for the same reason they would have blocked me from walking in there. And Pearson understood that. He knew he wouldn't be allowed in. The whole point was to make a scene, lead people to draw the wrong conclusion from the photo and agitate a mob. And indeed, that's what the Civil rights movement was about. The Rosa Parks story you were taught in school was fake, too. This was not just some woman on her way home from work. Civil rights leaders thought Parks would make a sympathetic face for their lawsuit and then told her, a longtime NAACP volunteer, to create a situation where she'd be arrested. This gets sold to the public as totally organic when actually it's play acting to create ideal conditions for a court case or scandal. The iconic photo of Parks on the bus was staged months after the incident as part of a press campaign. The White man sitting behind her in the bus photo was a journalist, which you probably didn't know. It's the same playbook all over again. Activist theater is presented as a profound spur of the moment stand against oppression to create an emotional superstructure for radical change. That's why Pearson has spent most of the last week pretending to be a low IQ ghetto revolutionary. Watch.

[Justin J. Pearson]

Got me all tied.

[Matt Walsh]

My brother. Pearson, go let R. PE Is wrong with you. Is wrong with you. Stupid mother. Now, every aspect of his behavior is an act. None of it is real. And if you doubt that, now's a good time to play the clip of Pearson from when he attended a small, extremely expensive liberal arts school in Maine. And then we'll contrast how he sounded then to what he sounds like now. We played this clip a few times before, but it bears repeating just to emphasize how truly shameless these fake civil rights leaders are.

[Justin J. Pearson]

Watch Justin J. Pearson. And I'm running for president of bsg. There are a few reasons that we're running this campaign this year. One has to do with representation. How can we represent all voices in a conversation? I wanted to do this by partnering with organizations from the Bowdoin Democrats to the Bowdoin Republicans. I want to bring together different voices, dissenting voices, voices that may be more liberal or more conservative, in order that. That we can reach a point of sort of the radical middle. Seem like the NRA and gun lobbyists might win, but, oh, that was good news for us. I don't know how long this Saturday

[Matt Walsh]

in the state of Tennessee might last, but, oh, we have good news, folks. We've got good news that Sunday always comes. Now, we could laugh at him all we want, and we should. He's a total clown, should not be taken seriously. But he's still doing it. And he's still got a lot of supporters. None of them care that he's completely fake. And they all excuse it. They say, oh, that's just code switching. So if you put, if you could put a. If you could, you know, use a term to describe it, code switching, that makes it okay. Yeah, he's code switching, which is another word for being fake and dishonest and phony. And indeed, Martin Luther King Jr. Did the exact same fake pastor voice. No one cared that he was a phony either. People still listen to his speeches with that absurd way of speaking and pretend that it sounds profound, but we should just be honest, like, it sounds ridiculous. It sounds phony and ridiculous. It sounded that way when Martin Luther King Jr. Did it. Now, I guess noam Chomsky might qualify as an exception. He went on the record saying that while he admired mlk, he couldn't stand to listen to his fake voice. Watch. Let's have a look at two newer examples now occupied. That's from the Occupy movement. As you said, the 99% have no borders. That's the clue. It's got a deliberately retro style. But here's a cause. I particularly signaled this out because I thought, here's a cause that broadly you might be sympathetic to. And yet would you apply the label of propaganda to this image? I'm sympathetic to the cause, but I don't like this technique of trying to bring people in. In fact, I can't stand listening to what's called uplifting rhetoric. It just really turns me off. And for the same reason, this kind of thing, it's an appeal to emotions, not understanding. And it's obvious what it's trying to say. But. So you don't like it even when it's in the service of a cause, you might simply can't stand it. I mean, I can't listen to Martin Luther King speeches literally, although I greatly admire him because it's just the style. So there's some honesty there. And you see the other guy that he's talking to, he kind of. The idea that he would say anything negative of Martin Luther King Jr. What came. What. It's shocking because the, the, the image we're supposed to have, Martin Luther King Jr. Is that he was a perfect human, better than a saint. Now, even if you're on the left, though, we find from Noam Chomsky, you don't actually have to pretend to like all the fake melodrama from these black activists, the theatrical phoniness. And it's okay to tell them that they're phony and that they should stop, you know, saying they're tired all the time. It's a nice refrain you hear all the time. But the bigger point is that, like mlk, Justin Pearson has a dream of inspiring a new wave of anti white racial violence. And like mlk, he's doing the bidding of communists who seek to destroy the United States from within. And we discuss all of this, by the way, in great detail in part one of my special, as we go into Martin Luther King Jr. And all of the facts are there, all the evidence, it's right there. And again, with Pearson, the same approach is apparently working. Watch. This isn't coincidental or accidental. They're coming for black political power in Tennessee and Mississippi and Alabama and Louisiana. We're send the greatest perns of of black power since the era of Reconstruction.

[Justin J. Pearson]

What we saw yesterday in the state of Tennessee was a political lynching. It is very much an era of retribution that we are entering into in the United States of America. Across the south, where 12 to 20 United States House seats that are black majority are at risk of being taken away. And nearly 200 seats, seats for state House members and state Senate members are likely to be taken away by the rise of white supremacy and its attempt to solidify its power on behalf of the biggest white supremacists in the United States of America, which is the President of the United States. I was expelled and my other black colleague was expelled from the Tennessee General Assembly. Standing up against gun violence while our white colleague was not. That's not accidental or coincidental. This is a part of who the Tennessee General assembly is. But in this particular moment, we all have to stand up, speak up and fight back from whatever positions we have in every part of this country. At the State House, in the governor's mansions, we need to be advocating and fighting and resisting because what just happened in Tennessee was the largest and the most swift disenfranchisement of black people that we have seen in at least a century.

[Matt Walsh]

So it's a tough side by side because it looks like he stole her hair and put it on his head. But he attempts to power through it. He calls the Tennessee redistricting a political lynching and the disenfranchisement of black voters. Even though black people can still vote. Just so you know, they won't have districts carved out exclusively so that black people can be a majority in the district. But apparently if you don't have special race based districts, then you might as well have no vote at all. Now to be clear about what's happening here, both parties gerrymander districts for political reasons. We've talked about this many times before. That's why there's not a single Republican Congressman in all of New England. It's why 40% of Californians support Donald Trump. But only 20% of California's congressional delegation is Republican. The same is true in Illinois and many other states. Gerrymandering is an inevitable part of politics. You don't have to like it, but it's legal and it's practiced by both parties. It's never going away and they're going to keep doing it to the extent they can get away with it. What Democrats are specifically upset about is that a few weeks ago the Supreme Court ruled that it's unconstitutional to draw these congressional districts on the basis of race, specifically. So it's fine to draw districts that benefit your party as a general matter, but you cannot draw districts to maximize the number of black people in those districts or to minimize the number of white people unless there's intentional discrimination on the basis of race. The Supreme Court ruled that the Republicans and everyone else can draw the maps however they want. And if the Republican maps happen to lead to fewer majority black districts, then there's no problem under the Supreme Court's ruling, no race of people, not black, not white, not Asian, nobody has the right to have a certain amount of districts in which they are the majority, obviously. Now, of course, drawing districts on the basis of race should never have been allowed in this country to begin with. It's unconstitutional. But in the aftermath of the civil rights movement, Democrats managed to convince judges, including the Supreme Court, that it's acceptable to draw districts explicitly so that they can include more black voters, even if there's no evidence of intentional racial discrimination and how the districts had been drawn in the first place. This was a massive political advantage for Democrats, who gained at least 12 House seats, mostly in the south, simply because they were allowed to draw majority black districts, which overwhelmingly vote Democrat. So that's what they're upset about. They want to be able to draw congressional districts on the basis of race. So they. They want to be able to legally. They want to be able to racially discriminate, you know, using the. The law because it benefits them politically. And now that they can't do that, the left is calling for genocide of white conservatives. And that's not an exaggeration either. Here's one example. This has 3 million views and 70,000 likes. Quote, allowing the Confederates and their lineage to survive was a mistake. So they should have just gone and killed everybody. Every white person in the south should have been killed is what that post is saying. 70,000 likes here's another 300,000 views. 16,000 likes. Quote, we should have genocided the Confederates. Well, not really room for interpretation on that one. Another with similar numbers says, quote, it's so obvious that the vast majority of this country's problems go back to our utter failure to properly punish the South. Meanwhile, the Governor of California, Gavin Newsom, just declared that the Confederate states are trying to erase black districts off the map. So you thought that the Confederacy ended more than 150 years ago, but in fact, according to Gavin Newsom, the Confederacy is alive and well. Quote, Confederate states are rushing through rigged maps to erase black districts off the map. If this doesn't make you angry, it should. This is the Democrats most likely presidential candidate and the governor of the most populated state in the country. And he's now openly suggesting that the Southern United States are not actually a part of the country. He's floating the possibility of a civil war because the Supreme Court issued a ruling that prevents racial discrimination during gerrymandering. Along those lines, here's a post from a Pennsylvania lawmaker with 20,000 likes. Quote, the new Jim Crow will be defeated like the old Jim Crow. We were tired then, but not defeated. We're tired now, but we will not be defeated. Weeping may endure for a night, but the morning is coming now. Again, all these posts should make you rethink what you think you know about the entire, about the Civil War, about the civil rights movement, about all these figures that are so often cited. Black activists use the, the same kind of melodramatic language throughout the 60s and 70s. Really corny language too. Corny cliche that we're supposed to act like is really insightful, beautiful rhetoric. Morning is coming. My hope overflows like the ocean. I feel love burning like the sun. And if some black activist says that in a, in a fake preacher voice, we're supposed to go, oh my gosh, that was this, this is, this is the best oratory we've ever heard. But they lie just as often back then with no shame whatsoever. That's, that's the, the key, that's the point we have to realize here is that when you look at the so called civil rights leaders of today and you see that they are almost without exception dishonest propagandists, that they celebrate violence, they commit violence, all those things. It would be inaccurate to assume that some sort of change has happened and that, you know, it wasn't like that back then, that something happened like in the 90s where civil rights leaders were all great people and then suddenly out of nowhere they became evil propagandists. That's not the case. The so called civil rights leaders of today are same kinds of people that we had 60 years ago. It's almost as if Democrats are now admitting right out in the open that the civil rights movement was not actually about racial equality. It was about exterminating the influence, the influence of white conservatives ensuring that they'd be flushed out of major cities and population centers, discriminated against in jobs and schooling, and ultimately replaced by more compliant foreigners. What Democrats just attempted to do in Virginia makes their intentions even more clear. Democrats tried to amend the Constitution So that instead of Republicans having five seats and Democrats having six, Democrats would have 10 seats and Republicans would have only one. It was a flagrant power grab. In a state where Trump won 46% of the vote, Republicans would have had only 9% of the congressional seats in Virginia. And to make matters more egregious, this was the language on the ballot that Virginia voters saw, quote, should the Constitution of Virginia be amended to allow the General assembly to temporarily adopt new congressional districts to restore fairness in upcoming elections? So fairness in the eyes of Virginia Democrats means ensuring that Republicans can never hold office again. They don't say that on the. On the ballot there, but that's what it means. Democrats thought they were getting a moderate Democrat, and then she put this language on the ballot again. There are no moderate Democrats. Every single one of them wants to make you powerless at a minimum. But this language somehow wasn't actually the issue that caused the Virginia Supreme Court to strike down the amendment. The more fundamental problem was that the Virginia State Constitution makes it very hard to pass a constitutional amendment, which makes sense. All constitutions are difficult to modify. So in order to pass an amendment, the state General assembly needs to pass the amendment. And then there needs to be an election in which voters can get rid of any representatives they want. So if it's a bad amendment, voters have the opportunity to vote out any representative who supported it. And then in another session after the election, the new General assembly needs to pass the same amendment. If both General Assemblies pass the amendment, then, and only then, voters get to decide directly whether to pass the amendment. So here's how Virginia Democrats tried to short circuit the process. Early voting in the general election for the Virginia House of delegates began on September 9, 2025, and ended on election day, November 4, 2025. But the first time that the Virginia General assembly voted on their constitutional amendment was October 31, 2025. And by that date, as the Virginia Supreme Court pointed out, over 1.3 million votes had been cast in the general election, which was approximately 40% of the total vote for that election cycle. In other words, Democrats didn't give voters the chance to vote on the members of the General assembly who supported the amendment. It was an extremely obvious violation of the law. And that's why in court, as they tried to uphold the vote on the amendment, Democrat lawyers embarrass themselves repeatedly. Listen. As a result, the proposed constitutional amendment has been ratified and is now part of the Virginia Constitution. The Circuit Court attempted to interfere with that democratic process by halting it. This court properly Put a stop to that. The challengers here now try to overturn the results of that democratic process. This court should not contemplate that either.

[Justin J. Pearson]

I don't understand that as a legal argument, given that you asked us to invoke our, ironically enough named Scott decision from over 100 years ago that specifically says you don't deal with any potential procedural irregularities before the people who voted.

[Matt Walsh]

So saying that the people have voted yes after having said, you don't even look as to whether there's a procedural irregularity, and after you voted doesn't add. Add anything to the equation, does it?

[Justin J. Pearson]

No.

[Matt Walsh]

And to be perfectly clear, we're not arguing that this court lacks jurisdiction to review whether the constitutional requirements of Article 12 have been complied with. It does. Instead, I'm saying that on the merits, this court should not accept the challenger's article. But the fact that there's a yes vote doesn't tell us anything about those merits. No, it does not. So Democrats asked the court to delay a ruling on the amendment until after the voters went to the polls. The court agrees. Voters go to the polls. And then when the court goes to rule on the amendment, the Democrat lawyers say that they can't do so because the voters went to the polls. And now they're arguing that the judges are interfering with democracy or whatever. This is the level of bad faith argument you get from these people. And yet, as bad as the case was for Democrats, this was only a 4 to 3 decision by the Virginia Supreme Court to strike down the amendment. Only one Democrat appointed judge joined the others to make this obvious call. The other three judges in their dissent tried to argue that early voting doesn't count as the start of an election. They came up with a very strained argument to justify an illegal Democrat power grab. And now that the argument has failed, you could probably guess how the left is responding. Here's Hassan Piker with a post that received 4.5 million views and 41,000 likes. Quote, the Virginia Supreme Court denied the results of the redistricting referendum, SCOTUS gutted the Voting Rights act, and Tennessee carved up the last Dem district, destroying black voter power in the state. Those who make peaceful revolution impossible make violent revolution inevitable. They have just one response to every setback. And it's been this way for 60 years. Their brains immediately go to kill everybody who stands in our way. And indeed, that was the thinking during the civil rights era as well. Here's our argument. Let us do what we want. Then their argument fails because it's a bad argument. And then they say, okay, well we're just going to kill everybody then. And that's why those innocent people in San Francisco and New Orleans and Marin county and many other cities were blown away. Civil rights activists were not using logic and persuasion. They were using force. They were breaking the law. That's exactly what they're doing today. This is from the New York Times. This article was published yesterday, quote, during a private discussion on Saturday that included Democratic House members from Virginia and Representative Hakeem Jeffries of New York, the minority leader. The lawmakers vented anger at their defeat at the Virginia Supreme Court, spoke about a collective determination to flip two or three Republican held seats under the existing map and discussed a bank shot proposal to redraw the congressional lines. Anyway, according to three people who participated in the call and two others who were briefed on it, yes, Democrats are planning a bank shot proposal. What is that proposal? Where they're going to lower the retirement age on the court to 54 years old, forcing the removal of every judge and then they're going to appoint new judges who agree with them. According to New York Times. That's not an insurrection or a criminal conspiracy or a plan to destroy the rule of law in Virginia. Instead, it's a bank shot proposal. And senior Democrats are seriously considering it even though again, they clearly broke the law in the first place. Democrats motivate their base to support this treason by relentlessly lying about everything, including our history. Here's a Tennessee lawmaker named London Lamar.

[London Lamar]

Listen, this is a deliberate plan to take away the black vote. Black people aren't Democrat and Republicans Republican. We vote our issues and so far the black people in Memphis vote their issues. And to see them act like they don't know what they're doing and deliberately take away our ability to have a solid voting power and representation in Congress is one of the most egregious acts since Reconstruction. Our ancestors died. They are bodies all across fields and in rivers across this country because they marched, they were lynched, they were beamed just to advocate, advocate for the right to vote. And to see them do this in 2026 is a direct insult on the black community. Everything that we contribute to the Tennessee, all our tax dollars, what we do to make this state the state that it is, they are deliberately taking our voice away and it's appalling.

[Matt Walsh]

Now she's acting like black people are losing the right to vote instead of losing the custom made majority black districts which are specifically created for black people and no other race. And she's trying to sell this Lie in the most ridiculous, hyperbolic fashion she possibly can. She says, quote, there are bodies all across fields and in rivers across this country because they marched just advocating for the right to vote. That's not true at all. Incidentally. There's many, many more bodies of white people who fought to free slaves all over this country. Not even close. But many, many, many more white people died for the freedom of black people than black people died fighting for that freedom. But those white people apparently don't deserve their own special white majority districts carved out especially for them. Why might that be? Now? AOC might have an answer for us. Watch.

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC)]

The American Revolution was against the billionaires of their time. And we are declaring independence from such an extreme marriage of wealth and power and the state.

[Matt Walsh]

Now, AOC is too dumb to make it convincing, but you need to understand that every history book and every mainstream news outlet is run by people who think the exact same way. You can't trust them to tell you the truth about any aspect of our history. For them, it's always a means to an end. And of course, the American Revolution was led by the wealthiest men in America. It was not by any stretch of the imagination a revolt against people who happen to have a lot of money or else who would not have chosen George Washington as our leader along with Jefferson, Hancock and and so on. These were not, these were not impoverished men, let's put it that way. The revolution was actually about political representation, freedom, and ending the tyranny of the state. And that last thing is, is, you know, something Democrats now embrace to a greater degree than ever. These people think you belong in prison if you violate a pointless social distancing mandate. They think you should die if you say things on college campuses that they don't like. They have nothing in common with the founders, which is why they feel the need to lie about them. And AOC tells lies like this for a living, of course. Watch.

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC)]

There are, there are very few, like, real archetypes of, in my opinion, truly what America is all about. I think about the civil rights and voting rights movement and how black Americans really created democracy in this country. That's right. That's exactly right. How they literally made something from nothing. It is just beyond me. I think about how, like, native people have survived and preserved and treasured their culture. I think about, and I think many of us think about immigrants, which, if you aren't from one of those first two populations, you are certainly from largely the third. And so many of us, like, have our story of our parents, our grandparents, our Great, great grandparents and so on and so forth, and who, like, come and make something from nothing. And I think that's a big part of. Also the most inspiring elements of what America is all about.

[Matt Walsh]

I mean, all that, of course, is nonsense. Put aside the fact that white men wrote the Mayflower Compact, the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution, and the Bill of Rights. Put aside the Founders reliance on great thinkers of the European Enlightenment, none of whom were black. Put aside the fact that nearly all of the people who invented the concept of democracy and propagated it for thousands of years across the Western world were all white. And most of all, put aside the fact that white men ended slavery not only in this country, but also across most of the world, with the notable exception of Africa, where it was. It was African Africans who resisted the end of slavery and clung to it, clung to the institution all the way into the 20th century. What you need to know in order to be a Democrat in 2026 is that black people invented democracy in America. That. That's the important point. This is a real life version of one of the. The best tweets of all time. It goes something like. Like this. A black woman invented the telescope. You might disagree, you might even have evidence to the contrary, but you have to ask yourself, is this really worth losing my job over? A black woman invented the telescope. Now imagine being a member of a party that actually unironically thinks like this every day. They have to find new ways to lie, not only about American history, but also about things that Americans can perceive with their own eyes. To give just one example, every major media outlet refers to teen takeovers occurring in major cities all over the country. We're told that rowdy teens are destroying property, flooding into the roads, driving recklessly, assaulting one another, and police when they intervene. What's never mentioned is that virtually everyone participating in these teen takeovers is black. Watch. I need some of the units that

[London Lamar]

have their vehicle over at Gasparillo Plaza. If they can return to their vehicle. We need somewhere to put these N15s in. Please return to your vehicle.

[Matt Walsh]

Well, it looks like a scene from Somalia, but this is what America looks like right now. In fact, that last clip where the mom pushes a police cruiser was taken in a nice area of Chicago. And if you're a Democrat, you have to pretend the problem is teenagers, not black teenagers. Mentioning the race of the criminals, in their view, might give the people the wrong idea about the civil rights movement and its consequences. So it goes unmentioned on service of the myth of systemic Racism. Relevant data is also suppressed in universities and everywhere else. Take a look at this chart, for example, which was reported by the researcher Zach Goldberg, which you can see right here. It's from the National Longitudinal Study of youth from 1979 to 2018, which is obviously a very comprehensive time frame. The chart shows that, on average, white people make more money than blacks and Hispanics. But if you control for iq, there's basically no wealth gap whatsoever. In other words, black people who have high IQs do just as well as white people and Hispanic people with high IQs. Obviously, this is a very problematic finding for people who believe that systemic racism is somehow keeping black people down, and therefore you're simply never told about it. You're also never told that the poorest white families with an income of less than $10,000 a year have a lower murder rate than black families making over $85,000 a year. That's another very inconvenient, convenient fact. And once again, it just doesn't. Doesn't just complicate the narrative, it destroys it. So no school ever teaches their students about it, and no mainstream media organization ever mentions it. Ever. A couple years ago, this monologue might have ended on that note. I would have closed out by saying that we're in for another civil rights movement, meaning a lot more lying and anti white violence. But there's. There's actually reason for optimism right now. First of all, in most cases, Republicans simply aren't responding to the propaganda this time around. Take a look at this remarkable video from Alabama, for example. There was a tornado warning and a siren was blaring in the legislature, but the Democrats stayed in the chambers for an important redistricting vote anyway, even as Democrats screamed at them. Watch.

Okay, so now they didn't. Did the clothes. They were gonna do the closure. Now they just gonna take the boat over us. Oh, I forgot I got in trouble already. Okay, now. Now y' all can see. Look at the mayhem. The mayhem. So some. But we all in here. We all in here. That's right. I know that's right.

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC)]

No.

[London Lamar]

So all this mayhem, y' all see it now? So they know that we need to be in the basement. So after we vote, now they telling us to step out. But I'm videoing now.

If we had more Republicans like this in the 1960s, the country would be in a much better place today. The appropriate response would Democrats resort to flagrant propaganda and intimidation in an effort to unleash more racial violence is to take every available measure as long as it's moral and lawful under our Constitution to minimize their political influence. Risk your life if you have to. As they were in this case if a tornado came. Nothing is more important right now. As a result of the Supreme Court's decision and all the redistricting that followed in states like Alabama, Republicans suddenly have a very good chance of holding the House in the midterms. It's not a lost cause anyway. Democrats would have to win all 11 toss up states to get a majority. Prior to the redistricting, Democrats were the favorite by far. Now that Republicans can draw their own districts without having to carve out several black only districts, the GOP has the advantage. One by one, Democrats are losing their ability to cheat. Once the census comes in, they'll lose even more seats. And if we had passed the SAVE act and ensured election integrity, there's real possibility that Democrats would have been finished as a party. Now if Republicans are going to win this battle and it's going to be a very long running fight even though we're ahead right now, it's vital for everyone in this country to be exposed to the actual history of the United States. And in particular, we need to revisit the civil rights era. It's important so that Americans can recognize the extent of the lies they're being fed and who's bankrolling those lies. It's also important so that Americans can understand the vast consequences of allowing black activists to and leftist radicals to obtain power and unleash anti white racial warfare on innocent people for generations. These are consequences that almost nobody talks about. So today, as I mentioned, we're launching the real history of the Civil Rights movement. Part one, a New Constitution. It's available on Daily Wire right now. Part one focuses on Martin Luther King Jr. And the biography you're not told about the things you're not told about the single most influential figure in the civil rights movement. Part two, which will be available soon, goes into the catastrophic results of the movement, including its impact on the law of equal protection as well as the decimation of American cities and many other things. Here's an exclusive look at the first five minutes of episode one. If you ask American teenagers basic questions about American history, you'll quickly discover that they don't know much about one. Gallup poll found that most American teens are unaware that Columbus arrived in 1492. More than two thirds don't know that states rights were an issue in the Civil War, and 3/4 are unaware that the United States gained independence in 1776. More interesting is what they do know. In May 2008, two college professors gave 2,000American high school juniors and seniors a simple prompt. Starting from Columbus to the present day, jot down the names of the most famous Americans in history. The only ground rule is that they cannot be presidents. The top three answers were all black. Harriet Tubman, Rosa Parks. And in first place, of course, Martin Luther King Jr. Who was named by two thirds of the students. Benjamin Franklin, by comparison, was named by just 29%. Thomas Edison made the top 10, but was outranked by Oprah Winfrey. A similar survey of college students between 1975 and 1988 had radically different answers. Their top choices, Betsy Ross and Paul Revere, didn't even make the top 10 by the mid 2000s. This is because sometime between 1988 and 1995, things radically changed. Now national heroes like George Washington and Ben Franklin were replaced with a new class of central figures in American history. As the authors of the study put it, by the mid-1990s, African Americans and women had moved to the center of American history. Ask any American who went to public schools between 1995 and today, they'll tell you the central feature of their social studies classes, as history became known, were the histories of slavery and the civil rights movement. They likely remember watching videos like this one in school. We wanted to show you a clip of Martin Luther King Jr. S I have a Dream speech there, but it turns out we couldn't. That's because King's family owns the audio from the speech, and they wouldn't let us use it. You might think that's weird. This is a man. Surely you can use a short soundbite of an extremely famous speech in an educational video. And in most cases, you'd be right. But according to our lawyers, we can't. In fact, we can't show quotes or read on air any portions of speeches owned by King's estate. It turns out his family has done all sorts of things to stop people like us, including, amazingly, releasing the speech as an album so they could secure special music rights. They published his life's work as a book to secure additional rights and recently blocked OpenAI from allowing users to recreate King's likeness. These gimmicks gave them total control over how King is portrayed in media today. Why would they rig our legal system like that? Well, money is one reason. When CBS broadcast portions of the I have a Dream speech on air, the family sued and the company settled. King's family has made a lot of money suing media outlets, but another reason is that they want to silence critics like us. They need to protect his legacy, to keep making money off him. What they're doing makes it very difficult to honestly reevaluate Martin Luther King, Jr. And you're about to see why they don't want people to do that. It turns out the King you've heard of is a carefully curated creation. His estate's efforts perfectly illustrate what the civil rights movement has become, and as we'll show in this episode, what it always was, a gigantic lie. Over the course of this video, we are going to judge Martin Luther King, Jr. Not by the color of his skin, but by the content of his character. What you will see will shock you. Some of it isn't suitable for young children. We'll also confront the movement that he spearheaded where his true aims a colorblind society or something far more radical. Who bankrolled him? What did other civil rights leaders think of him? What unfolded behind the scenes in Birmingham, Alabama, in 1963? Was civil disobedience actually peaceful? And most importantly, is America today stronger, more unified, and racially equal than before King's rise? These questions demand answers, and as Americans, we are entitled to a full accounting of the civil rights movement and its consequences. King's movement fundamentally transformed our country and our system of government. That's why we're tackling the topic in two parts. First, the hidden history of the civil rights movement, its key figures, agendas, funding and scandals. And second, the profound, lasting changes to our society and their consequences. This is the real history of the civil rights movement. Part one, A New Constitution. This has been a project several months in the making. It's the continuation of the Real History series, which has already reached millions of people and enraged the editors of the Atlantic. But especially after we've what we've seen over the past week, I have no problem saying that these are the two most important episodes of of Real History that we've done so far. The way to defeat the left's campaign of mass deception is to understand and preserve our shared history, our actual history. And if we can manage to do that, then every sane American will be able to listen to the screeching of black activists and the lies of Democrat politicians and leftist radicals and do exactly what those lawmakers did in Alabama. We'll simply ignore them. And without apology or cowardice, we'll take every necessary step to save our country. That'll do it for the show today. Thanks for watching. Thanks for listening. Talk to you tomorrow. Have a great day. Godspeed.

I do believe that if people have

committed treason against the United States of

America, their statues should not be in the Capitol.

[Matt Walsh]

History is written by the victors. And since the 1960s, we've been told, mostly by people whose ancestors didn't even live here during the war, that the south committed treason. But if the Confederates were traitors, then why was Jefferson Davis never put on trial for treason? What were Abraham Lincoln and Andrew Johnson afraid of? Do they know something they're not allowed to say? Today, it's time for the truth. So here it is. Robert E. Lee was a military genius and a man of immense honor. He was beloved by Americans from the north and south for a century after the war. This is the real history of the Civil War.
