00:00:00.000 Today on the Matt Wall Show, it sounds like a Babylon Bee headline, but it's true.
00:00:03.180 Woke criminal justice reform has gotten to the point where now an axe murderer cannibal is
00:00:07.200 being released back into society. But don't worry, he promises he won't butcher and consume anyone
00:00:11.200 else. Also, Ilhan Omar comes right out and says exactly how she feels about Americans.
00:00:14.900 We are stupid and shouldn't be allowed to say, quote, ridiculous things. Those are her words

00:02:15.340 We've talked a good deal about the damage that the field of modern psychiatry has done to mankind
00:02:20.400 across a variety of contexts. Most of the harms, the invention of gender ideology, the mass overprescribing
00:02:25.740 of psychotropic drugs, and so on, are relatively widely known. What's less well known, because not a lot of people
00:02:32.400 talk about it, is the sinister influence of modern psychiatry on our criminal justice system. For all the criticism to be
00:02:39.260 made of Soros DAs and Democrats' refusal to prosecute criminals, all of it justified, the role of modern psychiatry
00:02:46.520 in freeing violent offenders is often ignored. But it's very much a crisis in this country, and it's been
00:02:51.320 one for a long time. It was all the way back in the early 1970s, when a man named Charles Meech beat a
00:02:56.720 22-year-old grocery store clerk to death in Anchorage, Alaska. He was found not guilty by a reason of insanity
00:03:02.180 and shipped off to a mental institution. But just seven years later, Meech was released, and psychiatrists
00:03:08.740 claimed that Meech had made a full recovery. He promised he wouldn't murder anyone in the future,
00:03:13.580 and that was good enough, apparently. After all, why would he lie? What had Charles Meech ever done
00:03:18.980 to prove himself untrustworthy? I mean, aside from the whole beating someone to death thing, but aside
00:03:22.860 from that, like, why wouldn't you trust him? So he was released on the honor system. He pinky promised
00:03:27.580 not to murder ever again. But shockingly, the promise was short-lived. Two years later, Meech purchased
00:03:33.620 a revolver and murdered four teenagers at a campsite just for the thrill of it. Now, reforms were promised
00:03:40.140 after that massacre, and you can see why. It was a pretty clear sign that mental health professionals
00:03:45.820 should stop pretending that murderers can somehow be cured of their murderous tendencies, because
00:03:51.040 murder is not, in fact, a symptom of an illness. It is a manifestation of human evil, and people who
00:03:58.500 commit those kinds of evil acts should be locked in prison forever. But psychiatrists were not dissuaded.
00:04:04.980 Instead, our sainted mental health professionals, with the help of mostly Democrat-controlled state
00:04:10.180 governments across the country, have continued to embed themselves into the criminal justice system.
00:04:16.060 Their psychiatric facilities now function as safe houses for violent thugs like Jordan Neely,
00:04:21.360 for instance, who did not go to prison even after he assaulted an elderly woman, punched her in the
00:04:26.260 face on the subway, broke her nose. Instead, Neely was offered intensive outpatient psychiatric
00:04:31.960 treatment, quote-unquote, which would supposedly cure him of his addiction to terrorizing random
00:04:36.960 people on the train, and, well, we all know how that turned out. Any rational person who looks at
00:04:42.540 incidents like this will recognize immediately what's going on. Left-wing prosecutors have found
00:04:47.600 a kind of hack, an end-run, that enables them to release extremely dangerous criminals, even when
00:04:54.420 their guilt is beyond any doubt. All the prosecutors have to do is find some hippie psychiatrist to sign off
00:05:01.620 on a treatment plan, and then pretty much anything is possible. They could release some of the most
00:05:07.120 dangerous and depraved criminals on the planet who committed their crimes not too long ago, based
00:05:13.320 solely on the pseudoscience of modern psychiatry, which is completely subjective and often relies
00:05:17.760 entirely on the promise of the criminal not to re-offend. There is no crime, and I really mean
00:05:25.180 no crime so heinous that the criminal cannot be released back into society if a psychiatrist claims
00:05:31.520 that he's been successfully treated. And if you think I'm exaggerating, then please consider the case
00:05:37.600 of Tyree Smith, which has to be one of the most outrageous miscarriages of justice we have ever seen
00:05:44.440 in American history. And Tyree Smith confessed to the brutal murder of a 43-year-old homeless man
00:05:53.020 in a vacant apartment in Connecticut back in 2011. And Smith was apparently distressed about losing his
00:06:00.640 job at Starbucks or something before he began hearing voices in his head. And the details of
00:06:07.600 his crime are so horrific that I'm sorry I have to share them with you, but it's important that you
00:06:13.540 have the full story, so here it is. Smith used an axe to kill this man inside an abandoned home in
00:06:20.460 Bridgeport. He then hacked up the man's body, removed several of his organs, an eyeball in some
00:06:26.860 of his brain, and then ate them at a cemetery nearby. Okay, so this is an actual axe-murdering
00:06:35.400 graveyard cannibal we're talking about. Something straight out of a horror film. And the man's body,
00:06:41.020 or what was left of it anyway, wasn't found for nearly 40 days. At trial, Smith was found not guilty
00:06:46.240 by reason of insanity. And in 2013, a panel of judges committed Smith to a mental institution
00:06:51.540 for 60 years. But Smith will not spend anywhere near 60 years at a mental institution. Instead,
00:06:59.240 something called the Psychiatric Security Review Board in Connecticut has just granted Smith,
00:07:04.800 the axe-murdering cannibal, a conditional release. And that means he'll receive day passes to wander
00:07:11.800 around on the hospital grounds as he pleases. And very soon, he'll be able to make off-site visits
00:07:16.100 into the community. Watch.
00:07:19.520 A man accused of killing and eating another person in Bridgeport, being granted a conditional release.
00:07:26.380 Tyree Smith killed Angel Gonzalez with an axe in 2011 and ate part of the victim's body.
00:07:33.360 Smith was found not guilty by reason of insanity and sentenced to 60 years in a psychiatric hospital.
00:07:38.360 Now, if you had told me a few years ago that woke justice reform would soon lead to the release of
00:07:45.880 an axe-murderer cannibal, it would have seemed too outlandish even to me. Even if you have a
00:07:52.540 black murderer and a white victim, as you do in this case, even given everything we've seen during
00:07:57.120 the moral panic of the BLM era, it still seems unthinkable. And it only gets more unthinkable when
00:08:03.520 you look into the specifics of Tyree Smith's case and why he was released. So it's already as bad
00:08:09.320 as you could possibly think it could ever be. But when you look into the details, it gets worse
00:08:14.080 somehow. Now, first of all, it's perhaps worth noting that this decision was made during a hearing
00:08:21.040 in which Tyree Smith wasn't even present. He teleconferenced in and he didn't appear on the
00:08:26.700 video screens in the hearing room. So right away, it may seem like a minor detail, but that should
00:08:33.800 already be disqualifying. I mean, you won't find very many employers in this country that are willing
00:08:38.020 to hire a job applicant after a phone call without seeing the person in any way, which means it is,
00:08:44.620 at least in some ways, apparently, more difficult for a normal person to get a job at Walmart than it
00:08:50.640 is for a homicidal cannibal to get released from an asylum. So why is Connecticut releasing Tyree
00:08:57.320 Smith? Well, as a hearing went on, a psychiatrist testified that Smith has recovered. He's a reformed
00:09:03.400 cannibal. His axe murdering days are behind him. And her evidence for this statement is that Smith
00:09:09.120 has denied experiencing any hallucinations or having any desire to harm other people. He's better now.
00:09:15.380 And we know that he's better now because he says he's better now. I'm going to play that clip from
00:09:21.700 the hearing. And then at the end, you'll hear, you'll see a question from the prosecutor to the
00:09:25.380 doctor. An important question, but watch. He has maintained clinical stability,
00:09:32.000 adhered to prescribed medications, and continued to engage meaningfully in groups and substance use
00:09:37.220 treatment. He also denied visual hallucinations or a desire to harm others or himself.
00:09:41.920 It's safe to say that if he doesn't take his medication, that his auditory hallucinations that
00:09:46.980 tell him to kill people, kill police officers, may come back. Yes.
00:09:51.320 Well, as you just heard, evidence of Tyree Smith's recovery is based entirely on self-reported data.
00:09:58.420 So they know that he hasn't had any hallucinations or cravings to consume human flesh because he told
00:10:03.520 them, quote, he denied visual hallucinations or a desire to harm others or himself. Oh, he denied it.
00:10:09.360 Well, okay then. I mean, what more do you need to know? Oh, and by the way, if he stops taking his
00:10:14.920 medication, he could totally become a cannibal again. So let's just hope he doesn't skip a few
00:10:19.540 days. He doesn't forget to take the, take the pill. But as long as that doesn't happen, he probably
00:10:24.460 won't murder and eat anybody else. He's, and he's pinky promise. He pinky promises that he'll keep
00:10:28.980 taking the medication and he won't murder anybody. And that's it. Now, of course, at the same time,
00:10:35.180 Smith also knows that his only chance of ever seeing the outside world again is to lie about
00:10:40.600 all of this. So either he is an ax murderer cannibal who grew out of it, like a child grows
00:10:47.120 out of a bedwetting phase or something, or he's lying. And there is about, I would say,
00:10:53.900 a 99.99999999% chance of the latter. Now, at the hearing, one of the victim's family members
00:11:01.000 pointed this out. She remarked, quote, how do we really know he's not going to do this again? He
00:11:05.640 had no remorse for killing Angel. She also said that the whole family is terrified because it's
00:11:13.760 quite possible Tyree Smith will re-offend. Watch. Doctors say Smith has been a joy and a support to
00:11:20.440 other patients. But despite that, Talitha Frazier, Gonzalez's sister-in-law and spokesperson for the
00:11:25.940 family, says they constantly live in fear. His grandchildren are scared. His daughter
00:11:32.220 is so scared she couldn't even make it this morning. Her sugar dropped to 52.
00:11:38.240 So the ax murderer cannibal is apparently the life of the party at the insane asylum. You know,
00:11:44.720 he's just a joy to be around. Of course, we can probably assume that the man he hacked to death
00:11:51.220 and then consumed would disagree with that assessment. Probably wasn't much of a joy on
00:11:56.740 that particular day, but he's not here because he's dead. And the point is that as long as Tyree
00:12:00.900 Smith isn't ax murdering, he's really quite pleasant. But that is small comfort to the family
00:12:06.320 of his victim who really wants an answer to a pretty basic question, which is what assurances do we have
00:12:10.540 that he won't kill us exactly? Now, in their report, the Connecticut Psychiatry Board includes this
00:12:16.160 line, which is really an all-time caliber line. I mean, if you're assembling a hall of fame of the
00:12:23.780 most deranged statements that the medical profession has tried to pass off as legitimate,
00:12:28.600 this would have to be very high on the list. And this is directly from the Connecticut Psychiatry
00:12:33.400 Board's report. I am not making this up, I assure you. Here's what it says. Quote,
00:12:38.340 He denied experiencing cravings, but stated that if they were to arise, he would reach out to his
00:12:44.520 hospital and community supports and providers. Close quote. Yes, cravings. So just relax,
00:12:52.620 everybody. There's nothing to worry about. The Connecticut Psychiatric Board is releasing an
00:12:56.420 ax murderer cannibal back into society, but they assure us that if he experiences any cravings for
00:13:01.700 the taste of human flesh, he will immediately reach out for help. So they're going to release
00:13:06.540 him, but they'll say on the way out the door, hey, make sure to reach out if you ever feel like
00:13:10.720 eating someone's brain, okay? And that should do it. I mean, what a relief.
00:13:16.520 In the last decade or so that he's been locked away, Tyree Smith has become totally and completely
00:13:20.300 normal. There is zero likelihood that Tyree Smith will say, order Uber Eats and assume that the
00:13:26.100 delivery driver is the meal. I mean, that's not going to happen because, or at least if that did
00:13:31.380 happen, he would reach out. He's going to just reach, hey, just reaching out, just reaching out to
00:13:35.520 let you know I want to eat somebody, I guess is what the email will say when he sends it.
00:13:41.220 Of course, all of this discussion about whether Tyree Smith is reformed actually misses the point
00:13:45.960 anyway. Even in the fantasy land scenario where an ax murderer could be transformed into a functional
00:13:52.700 taxpaying member of society, he still should not be released. He should be in prison as a matter of
00:13:59.020 basic justice. You killed a guy and ate him. So on top of segregating this maniac from society,
00:14:09.300 he also needs to be punished for doing a very bad thing. If he's truly cured of his schizophrenia and
00:14:16.800 murderous tendencies, then fine, great, then ship him directly to a maximum security prison where he
00:14:22.360 should live out the rest of his days. And the idea that he belongs in civilized society after brutally
00:14:28.300 murdering a man and then eating him is only appealing if you're the kind of person who,
00:14:32.380 for one reason or another, sympathizes more with killers than the victims who are killed. And that
00:14:37.680 is the kind of attitude that defines a lot of psychiatrists. For example, I looked up one of
00:14:43.300 the Yale psychiatrists who testified for the defense in Smith's original trial. Her name is Rina Kapoor,
00:14:49.700 pronouns she, her, hers, of course. She's written a lot of articles about her time working with
00:14:56.720 murderers who were found not guilty by reason of insanity. And here's a direct quote from one of
00:15:01.020 those articles. It's about how an inmate, a murderer, asked to take a walk with her while in
00:15:07.120 prison and apparently left her very hot and bothered. Quote, J.M. and I never did take a walk
00:15:12.660 together. In fact, neither of us ever mentioned the idea again. As far as I know, J.M. does not speak of
00:15:17.120 me longingly or wax nostalgic about our year of psychotherapy. As for me, I have had some time to reflect on
00:15:24.100 things and I am plagued by one last question about J.M.'s request to take a walk with me.
00:15:29.360 Why did he ask to take a walk in particular? Why not ask to see a movie or have lunch together?
00:15:35.000 Close quote. Now, it reads like an early 2000s MySpace post or live journal blog from a teenage
00:15:42.120 girl who's infatuated with serial killers, but it's not. It's an excerpt from an article published in the
00:15:47.000 Journal of the American Academy of Psychiatry and the Law. And so this is how a lot of doctors in the
00:15:53.400 field of psychiatry conduct themselves. It's the kind of thing they fantasize about.
00:15:58.660 And in Tyree Smith's case, they have taken their ideology to its logical extreme.
00:16:02.780 Now, of course, they don't want Smith to live anywhere near their neighborhoods, right? They're
00:16:07.840 not buying him a house to live next door to them. They just want you to have to deal with it.
00:16:13.460 This is bleeding heart liberalism in its final horrifically deranged and monstrous and also,
00:16:19.280 I guess we would say, literal form. Although, as I've pointed out, this isn't actually due to an
00:16:25.700 overabundance of compassion or sensitivity. It's exactly the opposite. These decisions are fueled
00:16:31.420 by a kind of psychotic indifference to the immense human suffering that will inevitably come as a result.
00:16:37.560 The people who made this decision know that there is a high likelihood that this man will butcher
00:16:42.220 another person, and they just don't care. They are just as psychotic as he is. In Russia,
00:16:48.320 they send their cannibals to fight in war to inflict horrors on the enemies of the state.
00:16:52.780 That happened several times in just the past few years during the war in Ukraine.
00:16:56.260 But in the U.S., psychiatrists want cannibals to inflict those horrors on other Americans.
00:17:03.480 You know, when modern psychiatry was just getting started in 19th century Britain,
00:17:07.080 something called the Alleged Lunatics Friends Society formed, and they saw psychiatrists as
00:17:12.640 completely illegitimate, as totalitarians who just wanted to imprison people without due process.
00:17:17.040 And there was indeed a long period of time where psychiatry was used to imprison people who were
00:17:22.180 not dangerous and had done nothing wrong. You could just accuse them of being insane and throw
00:17:28.480 them in an asylum without any due process. Well, we now have the exact opposite problem.
00:17:36.280 Psychiatry has done a 180 flip. Deranged lunatics are being freed as a means of circumventing the
00:17:42.480 criminal justice system. The common thread here, the thing that ties together these two extremes,
00:17:47.620 is that in both cases, psychiatry is a cover to inflict horrors beyond comprehension onto the public.
00:17:56.020 The reality, and this reality shouldn't need to be said, is that someone who kills another human and
00:18:02.900 eats his brain will never be fit to live freely in society ever again. That should not be a
00:18:10.180 controversial statement. That, in fact, should be the least controversial statement ever uttered.
00:18:15.400 But in psychiatry, it is controversial, which is why people living in Connecticut are worried that
00:18:20.880 they're back on the menu tonight. The truth is that the people who freed the axe murderer cannibal
00:18:26.040 are just as demented as the axe murderer cannibal himself. They haven't consumed human flesh at a
00:18:32.480 graveyard, as far as I know anyway, but they are equally deranged. And because they have a lot more power
00:18:38.560 and are legitimized under the veil of science, they are quite a bit more dangerous. Now let's get to our
00:18:46.400 five headlines. Going online without ExpressVPN, it's like leaving your kids with the nearest stranger
00:18:56.520 while you go to the restroom. They're probably not a kidnapper or a serial killer, but they could be a
00:19:00.960 liberal, so why would you ever take that risk? They could be all three of those things. Here's the scary
00:19:05.560 truth. Every time you connect to public Wi-Fi, whether you're at a cafe, hotel, or airport, your personal

00:20:15.320 otherwise known as the people that she allegedly was elected to represent. Watch this clip here.
00:20:23.120 These people are just idiots. I really, you know, I'm at the point where it's become really hard
00:20:30.260 to have an intellectual debate with any of these people because the level of stupidity
00:20:34.820 that they are displaying every single day is frankly embarrassing, not just in Congress,
00:20:41.400 but as Americans. And the fact that these people are allowed to say just the most ridiculous things
00:20:47.960 tells you that the dumbing of the United States has arrived because how else do we get
00:20:54.660 Trump presidency again?
00:20:57.280 So Ilhan, who you recall is a United States Congresswoman, just said rather explicitly that
00:21:03.000 Americans display an embarrassing level of stupidity. And she even clarified just to be,
00:21:09.100 just to make sure it was clear with everyone that she was not just referring to Congress.
00:21:14.620 And if she was just referring to Congress, of course, who would disagree?
00:21:17.580 But no, she was referring to Americans broadly. And she was very explicit about that.
00:21:23.040 Then she even went further and lamented that Americans are allowed to say, quote, ridiculous things.
00:21:30.240 So just about one of the most un-American things we've ever heard an elected representative say,
00:21:38.460 at least in modern history. I mean, it's hard to think of something that comes to mind.
00:21:41.420 It's the double whammy of Americans are stupid and shouldn't be allowed to say things that I
00:21:48.640 personally think are ridiculous. That's what she just said. And by the way, this is, among conservatives,
00:21:59.180 this has been cause for criticism, of course. But in corporate media, these comments are getting
00:22:09.300 no play at all. I mean, no one is paying attention to it. There's no pushback, no criticism.
00:22:16.600 So she despises Americans, thinks we're all dumb, and we shouldn't have the right to say the things
00:22:20.800 that she disagrees with. None of this is news, mind you. Of course, we knew she felt this way,
00:22:25.300 but this is probably the most explicit that she's ever been about it. And it's obviously vile and
00:22:30.720 disgusting to hear this from a politician in general, but to hear it from Ilhan Omar in particular
00:22:34.980 is especially grating. I mean, Ilhan has shown that she truly hates this country. And that's not just
00:22:44.400 an empty accusation in her case. She really honestly hates America. And which again, for a politician or
00:22:54.440 anyone in America to hate America is a terrible thing. But it's even worse for her because she comes
00:23:00.960 from Somalia. That's what always gets me about this woman and her attitude towards America. She
00:23:06.280 comes from Somalia. Somalia, okay? And she's accusing... First of all, I mean, if you really
00:23:14.700 want to play this game, Ilhan, you come from Somalia and you're saying that Americans are stupid.
00:23:22.300 You know what the average IQ in Somalia is? Take a guess. It's 68%.
00:23:30.960 The average IQ is 68. And now that estimate comes from a study that was done in the early 2000s,
00:23:39.300 I think. And other studies have tried to debunk it. I don't think any of them have successfully
00:23:45.760 because it's the kind of thing that, you know, if anyone tries to study this and measure it,
00:23:50.920 you're going to have the mass of mainstream science descending and saying, no, we can't.
00:23:57.220 That's not allowed. That has to be not true. It literally has to be. We can't allow that to be
00:24:06.500 true. So there have been a lot of attempts to debunk this, none of them successfully. But
00:24:12.080 it also, when you hear that Somalia, the average IQ is 68, it tracks. It tracks with what we know
00:24:21.040 about Somalia. You know, if I, if you didn't know anything about Somalia, you never heard of it
00:24:26.660 before, but I just told you that, oh, there's this country called Somalia and the average IQ is 68.
00:24:32.120 You would make a lot of assumptions about what the country must be like. And in Somalia's case,
00:24:37.580 all of those assumptions would turn out to be true. Somalia is one of the most dangerous and violent
00:24:45.200 countries in the world. So one of the poorest countries in the world, the per capita GDP in
00:24:50.140 Somalia is like $600. In the US, it's $75,000 just as a, as a comparison. Somalia is not a functioning
00:25:00.220 society. It barely even has paved roads. It is a failed state. And by the way, speaking of the 68 IQ,
00:25:09.560 one of the reasons, I mean, undoubtedly, one of the reasons for that IQ is, is the inbreeding in
00:25:17.260 the country. There's a lot of inbreeding in Somalia, which, which affects IQ. So, so there's
00:25:24.760 another cultural highlight for you. So my point is, and this is what, if you come from Somalia and you
00:25:31.460 start talking crap about, about Americans this way, especially when you're elected to represent us,
00:25:36.520 then you have invited these comparisons. So if I came from Somalia and I, I, if I lived here in
00:25:46.960 America, but I was born in Somalia, I would wake up every day and kiss the ground and thank God for
00:25:56.380 America. I mean, I, I would walk around and shake the hand of every American I met and thank them for
00:26:03.700 taking me in. I would be the most patriotic person in the, in the country. I would be obnoxiously
00:26:09.980 patriotic. I would, I would just stroll around all day, whistling the national anthem to myself.
00:26:16.220 I would be the corniest, cheesiest patriot you ever met. I would have a giant inflatable
00:26:21.540 Uncle Sam, like a, a, a 20 foot tall inflatable Uncle Sam in my front yard. Okay. My HOA would hate
00:26:29.900 me. That's a, I would just, I would wear nothing but American flag t-shirts every single day. Every
00:26:37.280 day would be July 4th. If I came from Somalia and I lived here, just the, the, the sheer gratitude I
00:26:45.300 would have for not being there anymore and being here instead would be overwhelming. Now I already am
00:26:51.860 very patriotic, but, uh, I don't have anything to compare it to, right? I'm grateful to be an
00:26:59.060 American, but I've never been anything else. And I've never lived in Somalia. Certainly. Um,
00:27:05.780 the most I can compare it to in personal experience anyway, is, uh, I spent a week in Kenya and I'll
00:27:12.080 tell you, Kenya was a beautiful country in terms of the natural surroundings and the wildlife and all
00:27:16.580 that. The safari we went on in Kenya is one of the highlights of my life. It was an amazing experience.
00:27:21.500 The most of the people we met were quite friendly, but man, when we got back, I was so glad to be
00:27:29.060 home. I mean, I can, I can only imagine I've actually lived in a place like Somalia, like lived
00:27:34.100 there. Uh, and Kenya, I think it's quite a bit preferable to Somalia, but, but, uh, you know,
00:27:39.860 I mean, Somalia is just the worst of the worst in so many ways. And yet, so that's her background.
00:27:46.680 And yet she gets here and she just hates this country. She walks around with this snobbish disdain
00:27:54.400 for our country and our people, uh, who took her in and gave her this amazing life.
00:28:02.340 And everything about her life in America is vastly better than it would have been had she stayed in
00:28:10.060 Somalia? And she knows that. Um, just, I mean, the ungrateful brat is this woman. I mean, it's,
00:28:24.920 it's, uh, it really is amazing. Uh, let's see here. NBC news has this euphoria star Hunter Schaefer,
00:28:34.360 who is one of the most prominent transgender women in Hollywood revealed Friday that her new
00:28:39.200 passport was issued with a male gender marker. In an eight minute video, she posted on her TikTok
00:28:45.000 story. The actor was best known for playing transgender high school student Jules on the
00:28:49.420 hit HBO series said she, uh, had marked herself off as female in her passport application.
00:28:55.640 Then it came back with a male designation. Okay. That's the, um, NBC news article. There's a lot of
00:29:00.640 misgendering going on in that or actual misgendering calling this male, she and her. Um, this is,
00:29:07.200 this is a man we're talking about. Uh, but the point is that Hunter Schaefer is apparently an actor.
00:29:12.160 I'd never heard of him prior to this, but apparently an actor. And now he's shocked that this policy of
00:29:18.100 listing people according to their actual sex is going into effect. Here's a sum of his video.
00:29:24.360 So I'm sure most of us remember on, I think the first day of Trump's presidency, he like signed an
00:29:34.080 executive order to declare only two genders recognized by the state, male and female assigned
00:29:42.700 at birth. So my initial reaction to this because our president, um, uh, you know, is a lot of talk
00:29:55.600 was like, I'll believe it when I see it. And today I fought on my new passport.
00:30:08.780 Male. I'm not making this post to fear monger or to create like drama or, um, receive consolation.
00:30:22.180 I don't need it, but I do think it's worth posting to sort of note the reality of the situation and
00:30:31.640 that it is actually happening. And I was shocked. I also want to say, I don't give a f*** that
00:30:38.760 they put an M on my passport. Um, it doesn't change really anything about me or my transness.
00:30:49.120 Um, however, it does make life a little harder and thinking about other trans women who this
00:30:59.660 might also be happening to or other trans people. Um, you know, the, the list only gets longer as far as
00:31:07.800 the intricacies that come along with the difficulty that this brings into like real life.
00:31:18.800 Trans people are beautiful. We are never going to stop existing. I'm never going to stop being trans.
00:31:25.180 So that's a man, a 26 year old man, by the way, whose mannerisms seem to be attempting to approximate
00:31:31.040 a teenage girl. And you notice this with most trans identified males. We've talked about it many times
00:31:36.420 that they are not identifying as women per se. They're identifying as usually adolescent girls,
00:31:41.520 which, uh, should tell you quite a lot. And as for the passport change, obviously the change is
00:31:48.220 correct. He's a male. His passport should say male. The whole point of the passport is that it's supposed
00:31:54.380 to be identification. And the idea, you know, I mean, so identify you like who you actually are.
00:32:01.100 The idea that your legal identification could ever have a blatant falsehood on it
00:32:05.300 is just insane. Um, in, in particular, in the context of traveling, where in any other
00:32:14.060 scenario for anybody else, they're very strict about these guys, like what's on the document has
00:32:20.220 to line up with everything else. I can remember several years ago, trying to get through a security
00:32:25.680 at the airport when the name on my boarding pass was one letter off from the name of my ID. It was
00:32:32.120 a typo, probably my fault when I was buying the tickets, like my fat, dumb fingers hit N instead
00:32:38.200 of H in Matthew or something like that. So it said Matt, Matt knew instead of Matthew, uh, clearly a
00:32:44.040 typo, but this very slight discrepancy was enough to cause a major problem for me. And so I had to go
00:32:50.580 get a change and all this. And they just were not, cause they're looking at the ID. They're looking at
00:32:54.500 the name. It's like, there's a slight discrepancy. Something's not matching up. And so they said,
00:32:59.000 you can't, you can't go through. You got to go get it taken care of. It was a whole thing.
00:33:02.240 And yet for years now, until this past month, you were allowed to travel and fly even with a
00:33:09.160 major glaring discrepancy between the sex listed on your passport and actual reality.
00:33:17.040 You were allowed to travel under a false identity. In other words, which is obviously crazy.
00:33:22.480 It should have never been allowed. But the thing that jumps out at me the most from this video of,
00:33:28.240 um, whatever his name is, Hunter, right? Hunter. The thing that jumps out the most is just his shock
00:33:35.460 and horror that Trump really followed through on this, that the policy actually went into effect.
00:33:41.700 Because the funny thing is that, you know, trans activists will claim that they're constantly being
00:33:45.520 persecuted and hunted down and harassed and killed and all this nonsense. And yet when push comes to
00:33:52.040 shove, it's clear that they are so used to being, um, coddled and babied that they just assume that
00:34:00.260 no policy they oppose will ever actually go into effect. Trans people, trans identified people are
00:34:07.120 the most coddled groups, group of humans to have ever lived on earth. Right? And so, and so in a way you
00:34:14.220 can't blame him for assuming that this would never happen because he's 26 years old, which means that
00:34:20.080 for as long as he has identified as trans, he has lived in a society that has bent over backwards to
00:34:28.420 accommodate his every whim. All of human society reorganized itself around the demands of people like
00:34:37.740 him. They tried to rewrite the rules of biology for his sake. Unsuccessfully, but they tried to.
00:34:46.240 Um, they tried to give him everything. And, and, uh, and so now that that's finally changing,
00:34:51.380 you know, people like him are shocked that they just, they never thought it would really happen.
00:34:57.540 Um, and it is, and it should. All right. There were reports last week that the Trump administration
00:35:05.080 is considering possibly taking the tax savings created by Doge and paying it out in the form of
00:35:10.800 basically a tax refund to every American. $5,000 would, was, was the, uh, the, the amount that was
00:35:16.680 floated. Representative Jasmine Crockett, the, um, one of the other intellectual titans of Congress,
00:35:22.660 we already heard from Ilhan Omar. And, uh, now here's Jasmine Crockett responding to this idea last week.
00:35:28.880 Now, President Trump says he likes the idea of giving some of the savings from Doge back to
00:35:33.120 Americans as kind of a dividend. Would you support that? Listen, he's just telling a lie. He's not
00:35:39.500 the one that had anything to do with the $1,200, um, refunds that people had during the midst of
00:35:45.120 COVID that was done by a democratic house and democratic Senate right now, what they're going
00:35:49.580 to do is say, Hey, we want to give you a refund, but Congress won't let us because they already know
00:35:56.200 that there's just no money for that. The only reason that those refunds came before was because we
00:36:02.240 were living in different times. This was a time in which hopefully we won't ever go through again.
00:36:08.160 We had a once in a lifetime pandemic. The bad part is that I don't know if it's once in a lifetime
00:36:13.420 because we know that Ebola unfortunately was detected right here in New York here recently.
00:36:19.160 And if we continue down this road of getting rid of scientists or deciding that we don't want to rely
00:36:24.620 on experts as relates to what they're telling us to do, or we don't want to deal with vaccines and
00:36:30.240 medicine in this country, then we may be facing not only our next pandemic, but our next two, three
00:36:35.760 or four pandemics because of their incompetence. So no, we are not in the business of giving out
00:36:42.580 money. And honestly, I don't know what $5,000 will do for you.
00:36:47.280 Oh, you aren't. You aren't in the business of giving out money, Jasmine. Really? I mean,
00:36:52.180 that's, that's an amazing statement. A Democrat politician declaring we aren't in the business of
00:36:57.260 giving out money is, uh, I mean, it's, it's like if somebody went up to a prostitute on a street
00:37:03.380 corner to pay for her services and she got all indignant and shouted, Hey, I'm not in the business
00:37:09.040 of, of selling sex for money. No, but isn't that exactly, that's exactly what you're in the business
00:37:16.900 of doing. What are you talking about? Like that, isn't that literally what a prostitute is? Uh, and if
00:37:20.740 you're a politician, especially Democrat politician, you are in the business of giving out money.
00:37:24.120 It's all you do. It's your entire platform, your entire platform. You give out money to
00:37:29.100 welfare recipients, the, you know, the, the entire entitlement, uh, industry, the, uh, the,
00:37:35.720 the welfare state, foreign governments, hundreds of other special interest groups, and pretty much
00:37:40.080 anyone who you think you can buy, you give money to. You want to give out reparations. Jasmine
00:37:46.740 Crockett, it won't shock you to learn is a proponent of reparations, giving out money. Uh, she also
00:37:51.700 supports student loan forgiveness, but now she doesn't want to give out money. And you know why
00:37:56.060 she doesn't want to give out money? Well, obviously it's because she doesn't want a Republican
00:38:00.660 president to get the credit for it, but, but also because the, the money is actually going back
00:38:06.420 to taxpayers, all taxpayers. So it's the fact that it would be equal and shared by all and that people
00:38:15.520 are getting back their own money. That's why she doesn't support it. It's too fair. That's her
00:38:21.800 problem. It's too fair. Now I say all this, but just to be clear, I don't think that the Trump
00:38:28.320 administration should be sending $5,000 checks to everybody. The point of saving the money is not to
00:38:34.000 just spend it again in a different form. Um, if I were to support a government handout, then this would
00:38:41.460 be the kind of one that I would support, but I don't because, uh, you know, because it's actually
00:38:46.320 fair and equal as fair and equal as something like this can be, but I don't think we should do it. I
00:38:51.140 don't think it's a good idea. Let's actually, let's actually save money. Let's cut spending. Don't go spend
00:38:55.660 it on something else. And yet Jasmine Crockett's objection is, uh, just totally absurd. All right.
00:39:01.660 One other very important story to mention. Um, you know, I don't, I don't usually talk about
00:39:10.240 grooming standards in baseball. In fact, I don't, I don't talk about baseball at all,
00:39:15.020 especially not grooming standards, but this story caught my eye. Daily Wire reports on Friday,
00:39:19.480 New York Yankees, uh, managing general partner, Hal Steinbrenner announced the team would no longer
00:39:24.660 force its players to be clean shaven. Quote, in recent weeks, I've spoken to a large number of
00:39:29.160 former and current Yankees spanning several eras to elicit their perspectives on our longstanding
00:39:34.080 facial hair and grooming policy. And I appreciate their earnest and varied feedback. These most recent
00:39:39.460 conversations are an extension of ongoing internal dialogue that dates back several years, blah,
00:39:42.860 blah, blah. Uh, so they are allowing now the Yankees players to have beards as long as they
00:39:47.540 are well groomed. And that's the news, which I guess among baseball fans is actually has been a point
00:39:54.140 of contention and there's been some controversy around it. I only bring this up because I think
00:39:58.820 it's part of a growing societal trend, a good growing societal trend for a change where beards are
00:40:06.760 becoming more acceptable in the workplace, um, and, uh, in, in professional settings, including
00:40:12.120 a professional baseball. Now, I guess there have been some proposals that I've read about there,
00:40:16.560 you know, about, uh, about, um, allowing this in the military more broadly. I mean, they do allow
00:40:22.440 it in certain contexts with certain exemptions and religious exemptions, that sort of thing.
00:40:26.200 But there have been some proposals about allowing it more broadly in the military. And I think we have
00:40:30.800 a while to go before that particular glass ceiling is shattered, but I think that's where things are
00:40:35.280 heading. Um, and all I will say is that, yes, of course, beards should be allowed everywhere on men
00:40:43.100 just to stipulate I'm talking about. It is actually, I'll say this, it is ridiculous
00:40:48.740 to not allow beards in really any context. It's also ridiculous to be a man who willingly doesn't have
00:40:58.940 a beard. Like if you're choosing by your own free will and volition to not have a beard,
00:41:05.040 that's just absurd. I don't know what else to, how else to put it. It's like, it's ridiculous. It's,
00:41:11.520 it's, it's mind boggling. Um, now if you have to be clean shaven for your job, then, uh, then,
00:41:18.280 you know, if your workplace is still stuck in that kind of cursed effeminate mindset that says beards
00:41:24.080 are for, are verboten, then I'm not going to blame you for that. But if you can have a beard
00:41:30.260 and you just don't, what the hell, what, what the hell is wrong with you? Here's the crazy thing.
00:41:39.600 Every man, I mean, every man looks better with a beard. Every single man. I have never known an
00:41:47.820 exception to this rule. I defy you. I defy you to find an exception to this rule. Find me one
00:41:53.860 example, one example of a man who looked worse after growing a beard. You cannot do it. You can't
00:42:00.440 because the beard improves every man. And for most men, it's not just a minor improvement.
00:42:07.000 It's like a transformation. This is a substantial life-changing, uh, uh, improvement. It's not just
00:42:15.440 that the beard makes you a more handsome guy. It also gives you an air of authority and maturity
00:42:19.800 and dignity, which is why I've never known a man who grew a beard and looked worse. I have known,
00:42:25.260 I have known many cases where a guy who had a beard, uh, and then shaved immediately looked not
00:42:33.520 just worse, but like horrid. Was it, was it, it was, I've known many cases where a guy shaves,
00:42:40.340 I can't even look at him now. I can't, I can't, I can't look, I can't even look in your general direction.
00:42:44.600 I want to throw up now because you shaved the beard off. Uh, a man goes from looking like a serious
00:42:51.880 masculine person to this like shriveled, leprous little weakling. And I, I, why, why do, and think
00:43:03.580 of the effort this requires. You have to try, you have to try every day to not have a beard.
00:43:10.220 You are actively trying to look worse. It's crazy. I'll say, and don't, you know, don't,
00:43:19.580 don't take this out of context. Don't take it out of context, but this is the one thing. Okay. This
00:43:25.080 is the one thing that the Taliban gets right. Okay. Say what you will about the Taliban. Say what
00:43:30.440 you will about them. And there's a lot you can say. I get it. I'm not usually a fan of the Taliban,
00:43:37.140 but, but they do require men to have beards. And if you shave your beard, you will be punished.
00:43:45.040 Actually, you'll probably be killed. And that's the one policy of the, well,
00:43:49.500 that's one of like three policies of the Taliban that I think makes sense and should be adopted here.
00:43:56.640 All right. And, uh, now look, I know this is going to end up on social media and people are going to
00:44:01.320 say, Oh, Matt Walsh supports the Taliban. Yeah. I don't for the most part. I don't, I don't support
00:44:07.620 them usually, but on the beard thing, I, I just think they get, I think that's one thing they got
00:44:12.160 right. Can they, you know, a broken clock is right twice a day and all that. So, I mean, this is their
00:44:16.980 broken clock moment. Um, so, uh, this is my, my message to men, which is, and if you hear nothing
00:44:26.140 else, I say, if you heed no other call, uh, eat this, grow a beard, stop not having a beard,
00:44:36.700 stop not having one that stop it. What's wrong with you? You look ridiculous. You look insane.
00:44:45.300 Not having a beard. Every man without a beard looks actually crazy. I think there's, there's,
00:44:51.660 there's something mentally, something's going wrong upstairs mentally that this guy doesn't
00:44:56.380 have a beard. So, um, uh, and I think, uh, we can all agree with that. The other wire plus members

00:45:33.520 daily cancellation. If I seem a bit angry today, a bit dour and bleak, well, that's just my normal
00:45:45.060 demeanor, obviously. But if I seem even angrier, bleaker and dourer, which is a word I think it's
00:45:51.720 because I'm going through something very difficult in my personal life. Uh, and I'm not alone. It's a
00:45:56.040 trauma that the whole country, indeed the whole world is suffering through. You have no doubt
00:46:00.440 already heard the news that Joy Reid has been canceled by MSNBC. Her primetime MSNBC show,
00:46:07.460 The Readout, will be going off air. Now, of course I have canceled her dozens of times on this
00:46:13.340 very show, but now her own network is canceling her. And now that this is really happening,
00:46:18.280 now that the cancellation is real, I realize that I don't want it anymore. I wish I could take it all
00:46:24.400 back, but I can't. I'm sorry, Joy. I never wanted it to end this way. You know, you see, Joy Reid's
00:46:31.720 cancellation is devastating for a few reasons. First of all, it's obviously racist. I mean, goes without
00:46:36.940 saying. Former Atlanta mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms implied as much when the Daily Beast, for some reason,
00:46:41.340 asked for her opinion of this programming change. She said, quote, I am deeply saddened that Joy Ann
00:46:46.180 Reid, the only African-American woman with her own show on MSNBC, will no longer be seen. And Miss
00:46:51.920 Bottoms is right. Joy Reid deserved to keep her show because she's a black woman. Keith Olbermann was
00:46:56.560 more direct in his response. He didn't just imply that her firing was racist. He outright claimed it.
00:47:02.880 Firing of Joy Reid by MSNBC. Of course it was racist. MSNBC has only ever had four women of color,
00:47:10.600 solo anchor their own shows, and they've now fired all four of them. They've also just fired Alex
00:47:19.340 Wagner. How many protests do you expect to hear from Maddow and O'Donnell and all the rest? It stinks.
00:47:28.920 Well, Olbermann is right. And he should know about MSNBC's bigotry. He was fired and has not been
00:47:35.420 rehired simply because he is a bulbous, ill-tempered toad. And that is discrimination too,
00:47:40.820 in its own way. As for Joy Reid, she's a black woman. Sure, she's a deeply unimpressive and profoundly
00:47:46.260 talentless black woman. But why should that matter? Unexceptional subpar black women deserve to be
00:47:51.740 elevated, promoted, and paid millions of dollars, no matter how lackluster their performance might be.
00:47:55.800 That's basically the whole point of DEI. In truth, this has been a very bad year for women of color
00:48:01.500 who are terrible at their jobs. First Kamala Harris, now Joy Reid. The only mediocre black woman to earn
00:48:07.960 any undue accolades so far in 2025 is Beyonce. And that is simply unacceptable. But there are two other
00:48:15.300 far more significant reasons why I mourn the passing of Joy Reid's MSNBC show. For one thing,
00:48:21.820 as somebody in the same industry, in media, I always took great comfort knowing that as long
00:48:28.360 as Joy is on the air, I can never be the dumbest person in media. Now granted, there are still
00:48:35.520 dozens of people dumber than me, the entire rest of MSNBC's lineup, also CNN's entire lineup,
00:48:40.860 most of the staff of the New York Times, the Washington Post, and so on. But Joy Reid was the
00:48:45.680 bulwark. She was the last line of defense. She was the Alamo of stupidity. As long as a major cable
00:48:51.680 network had a primetime nightly show hosted by somebody with the IQ of a crustacean, I knew
00:48:57.440 that I was safe. I would always be a genius in comparison to at least someone in this business.
00:49:04.420 In fact, I could have half of my brain eaten by a parasitic amoeba, and I would still be at least
00:49:10.500 40 IQ points smarter than Joy Reid. And which, you know, which may be, does that mean I'm attributing
00:49:18.960 an 80 IQ to myself? Maybe. Still, I'd be smarter. The amoeba would also be smarter. Actually, a lot
00:49:24.840 smarter because of all the brain it just ate. Do amoebas get smarter when they eat brains? Probably
00:49:29.540 not. Do you lose half of your IQ by chopping off half your brain? Is that how it works? Also,
00:49:34.980 probably not. These are very dumb things to say, but still not nearly as dumb as the things Joy said
00:49:41.100 every single day on her show. And that is my point. Finally, Joy provided a special service to
00:49:47.080 right-wing podcasters looking for content. On any slow news day, I always knew that I could just find
00:49:53.180 a clip of Joy saying something humiliating and ridiculous, and I'd be okay. I mean, she was a
00:49:58.480 wellspring of fatuous drivel. She was like one of those geysers at Yellowstone, except instead of
00:50:05.340 spewing boiling hot water or whatever, she just spewed moronic nonsense. And just like those geysers,
00:50:11.620 people would gather around and watch. Actually, nobody watched. That's why she was canceled. But
00:50:16.400 they would watch right-wing podcasters play clips of her show and make fun of them. And now we've
00:50:22.140 lost that. Granted, her dumbness was usually pretty boring and uninspired. 90% of her show was just
00:50:28.540 stuff like this. Begin our final sprint, having arrived at that point in the election season where
00:50:34.600 basically we on this side of the TV screen have said all we can. We've laid out the stakes in this
00:50:41.240 crucial election, where one side stands for freedom while the other meets the textbook definition
00:50:46.880 of fascism. Namely, a far-right dictatorial regime like Hitler's Germany or Franco's Spain or
00:50:53.540 Mussolini's Italy, but also white-ruled South Africa before Mandela and the black majority took
00:50:59.600 control, or Vladimir Putin's Russia, Viktor Orban's Hungary, or Nicolas Maduro in Venezuela today that
00:51:08.460 suppresses the rights of women and minorities, uses the military to execute the whims of a strongman
00:51:15.300 dictator and controls and suppresses the press, education, the arts, rewrites history to suit
00:51:22.360 a favored and dominant racial class, and foments extravagant corruption in order to enrich the
00:51:29.420 dictator and his friends. Wow, did you hear that? Apparently, Trump is like Hitler. What a bold and
00:51:35.920 provocative insight. Joy here is making the profoundly compelling point that Hitler was bad, and Trump is
00:51:40.980 also bad, which means that Trump is Hitler. The audience of MSNBC watching her 7 p.m. show that
00:51:47.400 night, all three of them, hadn't heard anything like that since at least the 6 p.m. show, or the 5 p.m.,
00:51:52.280 or any show during any hour on any day at any point over the past 10 years. So this was not terribly
00:51:57.000 interesting, though it is extremely dumb. It's far too routine to be entertaining, basically useless for
00:52:02.820 me as content, which is what really matters here. But every once in a while, and often enough to
00:52:07.740 provide a steady stream of content, joy would reach heights of dumbness so extreme, so incredible as
00:52:13.720 to be awe-inspiring, almost, in a way, beautiful. Sometimes joy gave us moments like this.
00:52:21.300 The people I ever hear use the word inflation are journalists and economists, right? So that is not
00:52:28.980 part of the normal lexicon of the way people talk. So it's interesting that Republicans are doing
00:52:34.380 something they don't normally do, right? Which is not use the common tongue, right? Not use just
00:52:39.160 common English to sort of do on their campaigns like they're doing with crime. But what they've
00:52:43.180 done is they've taught people the word inflation, right? Most people who would have never used that
00:52:47.460 word ever in their lives are using it now because they've been taught it, including on TV, including
00:52:52.940 in newspapers. They've been taught this word, and they sort of wrap this word around whatever it is
00:52:58.860 that they really want to vote. You know, the reasons they really want to vote. Now, this is what I'm
00:53:03.460 talking about. It's mesmerizing. It's fascinating. It's grotesque. But you're transfixed as you watch it.
00:53:10.660 You know, I saw a nature show over the weekend where two warthogs were fighting, and it was just
00:53:15.080 ghastly and foul, but I couldn't take my eyes off of it. And that's what it's like watching Joy
00:53:19.740 Reed try to form an actual thought. Her face contorts as she blurts out the words, hoping they make sense,
00:53:26.100 but they don't. You know, her brain has atrophied from lack of use, and she's still trying to use
00:53:32.460 it. You know, she claims here that the word inflation is not part of the normal lexicon
00:53:38.020 that average Americans who use the word during the campaign had just been taught it. They just
00:53:44.340 learned it. They had never used the word inflation before. They had never heard of inflation. Only
00:53:48.740 journalists and economists talked about inflation. So what did people call inflation before Republicans
00:53:54.480 taught them the word in the year 2024? Like, what did they say when they were referring to the higher
00:53:59.600 prices of goods and services? I guess she imagines that the average American was wandering dumbstruck
00:54:05.400 around the supermarket, scratching his head, pointing to the ever-increasing price tags, and grunting
00:54:10.020 like a caveman. Me see price go up in sky like bird. Me not have enough dollars. Me not like. Me sad.
00:54:18.480 This is the conversation that Joy Reed imagines must have been occurring at Kroger prior to Republicans
00:54:22.920 teaching everybody about inflation. And a lot of conservatives accused Joy of being an elitist
00:54:26.720 snob because of these comments. But what they don't understand is that Joy was extrapolating from
00:54:31.960 her own experience. She was the one grunting at the grocery store. She just learned about inflation
00:54:36.880 this past year. She's a grown woman, and in 2024, she's like, what is this inflation thing? What does
00:54:42.740 that mean? Oh, that's inflation? Because she is, again, I must emphasize, very extremely dumb.
00:54:50.340 And that's why she was such a great source of not only content, but also self-confidence to all of
00:54:55.360 us who are smarter than her, which is a group that encompasses nearly every human on the planet above
00:54:59.700 the age of two, and probably half of the ones below two. And now, Joy is gone. Or at least her show is.
00:55:08.960 And we can only hope that she lands on her feet and finds somewhere else to spew her gibberish.
00:55:13.540 The world is depending on her. I am, at least. So don't give up, Joy. My dear, sweet Joy. Keep going.
00:55:21.940 Keep talking. Keep saying stuff on camera. Never stop. Don't listen to anyone who tries to dissuade
00:55:28.940 you. Anyone who tells you to give up the media gig and get a job more befitting a woman of your
00:55:34.300 intellect. Media already is that job, Joy. So don't listen to the haters and the doubters who insult and
00:55:40.920 demean you. I mean, they're right, but don't listen to them. Because they are the ones who are today
00:55:48.060 canceled. That'll do it for the show today. Thanks for watching. Thanks for listening.
00:55:52.200 Talk to you tomorrow. Have a great day. Godspeed.
00:55:54.440 much freedom.
00:56:14.300 you
00:56:16.260 you
00:56:16.700 you
00:56:17.220 you
00:56:17.820 you
