The Matt Walsh Show - Ep. 385 - A Heart Full Of Love

00:00:00.000 Well, you know, Nancy Pelosi, good old Nancy Pelosi, she's a Catholic and she takes her faith

00:00:04.980 very, very seriously, or she would like us to believe that she does. And yesterday

00:00:10.120 she was asked at a press conference whether she wants to impeach President Trump because she hates

00:00:16.640 him, if that's really her motivation. And she was very offended by the question. Here was her answer.

00:00:23.120 Nothing to do with anything to say. I think it's an important point.

00:00:25.720 I think the president is a coward when it comes to helping our kids who are afraid of gun violence.

00:00:34.660 I think he is cruel when he doesn't deal with helping our dreamers, of which we're very proud.

00:00:41.360 I think he's in denial about the climate crisis. However, that's about the election. This is about

00:00:49.420 the election. Take it up in the election. This is about the Constitution of the United States

00:00:54.040 and the facts that lead to the president's violation of his oath of office. And as a Catholic,

00:00:59.820 I resent your using the word hate in a sentence that addresses me. I don't hate anyone. I was

00:01:06.080 raised in a way that is full, a heart full of love and always prayed for the president. And I still

00:01:11.840 pray for the president. I pray for the president all the time. So don't mess with me when it comes

00:01:17.720 to words like that. First of all, her hand motions are very distracting because they appear to be

00:01:26.920 disconnected from what she's actually saying. And it sort of freaks me out. It's just the president

00:01:33.640 is a coward who doesn't care about dreamers. And he's trying to kill the planet. And he puts ketchup on

00:01:43.560 his steak. It just, it doesn't make sense. There should be some connect between, but more to the

00:01:50.740 point. She says that she's a, as a Catholic, she doesn't hate anyone. And in fact, she has a heart

00:01:56.300 full of love. Nancy Pelosi has a heart full of love. No hate for anyone. Maybe that's true, actually,

00:02:02.060 because the millions of children whose execution she supports and helps fund and facilitate,

00:02:07.240 um, the unborn children. Well, she doesn't hate them. It's true. She doesn't hate them. She just has 0.95

00:02:13.300 a total disregard for them. So that's what she means. She means, I don't hate anybody. I just have

00:02:19.480 a wanton disregard for their well-being. Okay, then. Well, thanks for clearing that up. Now, of course,

00:02:26.360 uh, Pelosi invoking her alleged Catholicism is, is farcical. She's not a Catholic. And I can say that.

00:02:35.740 How do I know that? Well, because being a Catholic means a certain thing, just like being a Jew or 0.74

00:02:44.700 being a Muslim. One of the things that it means, if you say you're a Catholic, is that you believe in

00:02:50.780 the authority of the Catholic Church. There's no such thing as a, well, I'm a Catholic, but the Catholic

00:02:57.280 Church doesn't know what it's talking about, type of Catholic. Now, there are a lot of people who claim

00:03:02.720 to be that kind of Catholic, but that can't really exist. That's like saying you're a Cowboys fan, but you

00:03:08.600 hate the Cowboys and you love the Redskins. Well, then you're not a Cowboys. By definition, then you're

00:03:13.360 not a Cowboys fan. Uh, you can't be a Catholic while denying the authority of the Church on moral 0.65

00:03:19.520 matters, which isn't to say that a Catholic has to agree with every opinion or every word that comes out

00:03:25.120 of the Pope's mouth. Thank God. No, that's not what it means. Um, what I'm talking about are the

00:03:29.680 doctrines of the Church, which the Pope cannot just change on a whim and no Pope ever has, even the

00:03:34.780 current one. So Nancy Pelosi, um, thinks that the Church is wrong about abortion, not to mention issues 1.00

00:03:40.360 like marriage and sexuality, sexual morality. In order for the Church to be wrong about those issues,

00:03:46.500 it would have to be just a human institution and nothing more, entirely fallible, entirely capable of

00:03:53.160 being wrong about even basic moral truths. And I'm sure that is how every non-Catholic sees the 1.00

00:03:59.540 Church. But if you are a Catholic, then you can't see the Church that way. It doesn't make any sense 0.98

00:04:04.500 to see the Church that way, by definition. This is one of the reasons why it also doesn't make sense

00:04:10.380 when we talk about bishops and priests withholding communion from pro-abortion politicians

00:04:15.800 who come to their churches, which is something that happens sometimes, should happen a lot more than it

00:04:20.720 does. But it doesn't make sense when people say that they disagree with withholding communion.

00:04:28.820 And I hear this. I hear this from Catholics. I hear it from non-Catholics. So anyway, I don't think 0.81

00:04:32.440 they should do that. Disagree? The doctrine of the Catholic Church is that Christ is really present

00:04:39.840 in the Eucharist, real presence. So it's not symbolic. He's really present there in a mystical,

00:04:44.400 supernatural way. And so as the teaching goes, if you're in a state of mortal sin, you can't receive

00:04:51.480 it. You have to go to confession first, get things right, and then you can go. Again, if you're not a 0.98

00:04:57.180 Catholic and you disagree with the metaphysical claims about the Eucharist, then, you know, I

00:05:04.360 understand that. I would expect you to disagree. If you agreed with it, I would expect you to be a

00:05:08.460 Catholic. But to disagree specifically with the rules surrounding who can receive it, that doesn't

00:05:16.220 make any sense. If the church is right about the Eucharist, then it stands to reason that it's right 0.96

00:05:22.240 about the parameters around which you can receive the Eucharist. If the church is wrong about the

00:05:28.420 Eucharist, or if you think the church is wrong about the Eucharist, then there's no reason to be Catholic

00:05:31.360 and you shouldn't care what rules there are and who can receive and who can't. Religions, the point is

00:05:37.600 religions are not your personal little playthings that you can do what you want with. They're not

00:05:44.920 like a clump of Play-Doh in your hand that you can mold into whatever shape you want it to be.

00:05:50.120 There is no such thing as a Muslim who rejects all the teachings of Islam. There is no such thing

00:05:56.940 as a Mormon who thinks the Book of Mormon is bogus. There cannot be, in the same way, any such thing as a

00:06:06.080 Catholic who thinks the church has no idea what it's talking about on an issue like abortion,

00:06:11.200 the central moral issues of our time. But that's Pelosi's position. It must be. It has to be.

00:06:16.300 Given her radical, consistent, unyielding support for abortion and the abortion industry. So Pelosi 1.00

00:06:22.960 is a fraud, not to mention a facilitator of and apologists for the mass murder of children.

00:06:28.880 Just so we're clear about that. Before we move on, you know, when I talk about Stamps.com,

00:07:54.180 By the way, this moment from Biden, well, there's a lot you could probably say about it, but if you

00:08:02.100 can't laugh about it, if you can't see the humor in it, then I don't know what to do with you.

00:08:07.100 There's just something wrong with you. So here's what happened. If you haven't, if you haven't seen

00:08:11.960 the footage, here's what happened when a voter at a town hall talking to Biden tried to challenge

00:08:18.240 Biden on Ukraine and also on his age about whether or not he's able to do the job. And this is how

00:08:26.440 Biden reacted to the question. You're a damn liar, man. That's not true. And no one has ever said

00:08:33.700 that. No one has heard that. No. You see it on the TV. No, I know you do. And by the way, that's

00:08:39.840 why I'm not sedentary. I don't, I get up and, and no, let, let, let, let him go. Let him go. Look, the reason

00:08:47.420 I'm running is because I've been around a long time and I've known more than most people now. And I can

00:08:51.800 get things done. That's why I'm running. And you want to check my shape line. Let's do push-ups 0.89

00:08:55.940 together, man. Let's do, let's run. Let's do whatever you want to do. Let's take another pizza.

00:08:59.960 Number one. Number two. Number two. No one has said my son has done anything wrong. And I did

00:09:08.720 not on any occasion. And no one has ever said it. Not one. I didn't say you were doing anything

00:09:13.940 wrong. You said I set up my son to work in an oil company. Didn't that what you said? Get

00:09:20.040 your word straight, Jack. That's what I hear on MSNBC. You don't hear that on MSNBC. You

00:09:28.380 did not hear that at all. What you heard. Look, okay, I'm not going to get in an argument with

00:09:32.800 you, man. Well, yeah, you do. But, uh, but look, look, here's the deal. Here's the deal.

00:09:39.860 Any other questions? Listen, Jack, listen up, bub, you fat dummy. I could run laps around you.

00:09:59.280 Do you even lift, bro? That's going to be Biden's new campaign slogan. Vote for me,

00:10:05.040 you dumb fat bastards. And I have to say that's, that's not a bad sales pitch. It really isn't.

00:10:10.880 I, that's the best sales pitch that the Biden campaign has come up with yet. I'll give him

00:10:15.220 that. Um, now Biden's campaign is trying to claim you, you heard there, you heard it. He called the

00:10:22.160 guy fat. He said, look fat. And I think he was going for fat ass. I assume that's where he was

00:10:28.140 headed with that. And then he stopped himself, but Biden's campaign, they're trying to say that. No,

00:10:33.000 he didn't say, he didn't say fat. He said facts. It wasn't fat facts. So he was saying, look facts,

00:10:40.000 which of course makes no sense, but let's go back and listen again to that particular part.

00:10:45.840 And we'll see. Did he say fat or did he say facts? Listen again.

00:10:50.760 Look fat, look, here's the deal. Okay. Well, one more time. Look fat, look, here's the deal.

00:10:57.160 Here's the deal. Yeah. He definitely said fat. That's definitely called him that a hundred percent.

00:11:03.000 Remember also he, earlier he accused him of being sedentary. So there was a theme emerging here.

00:11:09.920 He accused him of being sedentary, challenged him to a pushup contest and then appeared to say fat.

00:11:15.240 And he did say fat. And I'll tell you one thing, Joe Biden would never talk to corn pop that way.

00:11:21.980 I guarantee you that. My, my favorite thing though is just is, this is my favorite thing now in politics

00:11:27.880 is Joe Biden insulting people like it's the 1940s. Listen, Jack, quit being a wise guy. Cut the

00:11:36.440 malarkey. Why I've got half of mine to give you a knuckle sandwich. I, I, my only hope, this is my,

00:11:44.240 this is my dream. My hope, uh, that eventually at a town hall before this thing is over,

00:11:50.840 we will get Joe Biden calling a female voter or potential voter, a dame. That's my, that's my

00:11:58.260 dream. I just want to hear him referring to a female as a dame. I think, I think we'll get it. 1.00

00:12:06.020 Okay. Hey, um, moving on, you know, there's a recent article from CBS news, uh, based on a soon

00:12:12.220 to be released CBS documentary. And the article slash documentary asks the question, if, um, ask

00:12:20.060 the question, is there a better way to raise boys to avoid toxic masculinity? That's the question.

00:12:27.080 And the article details the trials and tribulations of parents who are wanting to protect their sons

00:12:34.240 from the, the horrors of traditional masculinity. So one example given in the article, I'll read this

00:12:41.680 to you. It says Roberto and 10, 10 is a Santiago or parents to their three children. One of whom

00:12:47.780 is a boy who expresses himself by occasionally wearing a dress or painting his nails. Roberto

00:12:52.980 remembers a moment when his son wore a ponytail to school. I said, Hey bud, I want you to know I love

00:12:58.540 your hair. I think it's so cool, but kids at school might not understand. And they might say

00:13:02.720 something about it. And he got this look. He was just crestfallen, just done. He took it out and he

00:13:07.600 wouldn't wear it. Roberto says for me, it was one of those things as a parent where I'm like,

00:13:12.640 I'm cool with this, but the world is not going to be okay with this. So what do I do? How do I

00:13:17.720 protect him? That crushed his spirit that day, even though I thought I was trying to help him.

00:13:23.200 And we've got the, uh, the founder of a group called a call to man, to men explaining, um, that,

00:13:29.540 that boys should not be taught to quote, embody certain ideals says, um, this is the founder saying,

00:13:35.580 we have coined a term called the man box. And that's a short form for the collective socialization

00:13:41.300 of men that we've all been taught on some level. Um, not asking for help, always feeling like we

00:13:47.440 have to be in control, dominating and having power over others, not expressing any emotion except for

00:13:52.860 anger. All of those things are rigid notions of manhood, feeling like we have to be in control,

00:13:57.840 that we have to control things. Those are all things that are rigid and that they don't bend.

00:14:01.980 And then meanwhile, um, the article quotes a 2017 study revealing some findings that the author of

00:14:10.340 the article says are disturbing. It says out of, uh, uh, out of, uh, 1,328 men between the ages of 18

00:14:18.660 and 30 surveyed in the U S 72% said they'd been told that quote, a real man behaves a certain way.

00:14:25.460 The survey also found 59% agree with the statement that guys should act strong, even if they feel

00:14:33.260 scared or nervous inside. And 40% agree that men should figure out their personal problems on their

00:14:39.020 own without asking others for help. More disturbingly, 23% of the respondents agreed that men should use

00:14:45.360 violence to get respect if necessary. Um, and then it goes on with more, there's a psychologist named Dr.

00:14:53.100 Michael Reichert says that, uh, confirms that these attitudes are very bad and very harmful.

00:15:00.680 He says, it's not the experience of emotions. That's different between males and females. 0.88

00:15:05.020 It's the expression of emotions, expressions of emotions follow, uh, follow what we call feeling

00:15:11.340 rules. Those feeling rules are culture. We tell girls, don't be angry, be a lady. We tell boys,

00:15:17.120 don't be scared. Don't be vulnerable. Don't cry. Don't be weak. Be strong, bestow it, keep it inside.

00:15:20.980 That is profoundly damaging of how we actually keep our minds present. So, um, the main thrust of,

00:15:30.920 of, of this is that boys in our culture are broken and it is our outdated and quote disturbing notions

00:15:39.180 of traditional masculinity that broke them. Now I would say this is all wrong and I'll explain why

00:15:45.720 it's wrong in just a moment. But first, have you ever wondered why so, so many Americans are sick,

00:15:51.720 unhealthy, overweight between the food supply, sedentary lifestyle, speaking of people being

00:15:57.040 sedentary as Joe Biden was, um, Americans are in, in worse shape than ever. And that's why the team

00:17:04.520 So back to this article, the people interviewed for the article, along with the author herself,

00:17:09.980 are perpetuating the very problem that they say that they want to solve. Because the real toxic

00:17:16.720 thing here is not masculinity. It is the attitude and approach that you see demonstrated and embodied

00:17:24.780 in this article and the people interviewed. Traditional masculinity is not the problem here.

00:17:31.220 The problem here is the effort to tear down and dismantle traditional masculinity. So a few points

00:17:37.140 about this. Number one, if you're trying to help boys out and you're worried about the state of

00:17:46.060 boys in our culture, and I agree there is reason to be worried about that. If you look at the statistics,

00:17:52.960 men and boys struggle in many areas in ways that girls don't. 0.99

00:17:58.140 And if you look at, you know, everything from drug abuse to homelessness, prison, dropouts,

00:18:07.260 suicides, all of that, men are vastly overrepresented in all those statistics.

00:18:14.600 So if you want to do something about that, you're on the wrong foot already if you're beginning by

00:18:23.380 talking about toxic masculinity. Because if you're talking about toxic masculinity,

00:18:30.360 it seems like it could be referring to one of two things. Number one, you could be referring to

00:18:35.680 traditionally masculine traits that we've now decided are toxic.

00:18:40.940 toxic. Or you could be referring to actually harmful traits that you associate with men and

00:18:47.740 say, therefore, are representations of toxic masculinity. Now, if you're using it in the

00:18:52.080 first sense, if you're saying that traditionally masculine, naturally masculine traits are toxic,

00:18:58.780 then that's obviously degrading and damaging to men, especially boys, because you're telling

00:19:04.400 them that their natural masculine dispositions are somehow disordered. We'll get back to that

00:19:08.580 in a minute. But in the second sense, this is a problem, too, because it unfairly blames

00:19:14.180 masculinity for bullying and narcissistic behavior that has nothing specifically to do with masculinity.

00:19:22.640 And if you don't understand why men might take an issue with that, and might not like that

00:19:27.820 approach, just imagine how almost any woman would feel if I said that gossipy, materialistic 1.00

00:19:34.580 bimbos suffer from toxic femininity. That would be, at the very least, an unnecessarily inflammatory 1.00

00:19:43.400 way of addressing a problem, and there's no reason to bring femininity into it. If I've got an issue 0.99

00:19:50.700 with materialistic bimbos, there's no reason to start talking about femininity. It's got nothing to do with it. 1.00

00:19:56.300 But worse than that, it would suggest that femininity taken to a toxic extreme results in materialistic 0.95

00:20:08.020 bimbos. So it would seem to say that, well, it's okay to be a woman, but don't be too womanly, 0.99

00:20:15.540 because then you're going to end up like that. Now, of course, nobody ever does talk about toxic

00:20:21.520 femininity. That's just not a phrase anybody uses. And in fact, I googled it just to see, I googled

00:20:29.700 toxic femininity just to see if there is anybody using the phrase. And for the most part, it's just,

00:20:37.240 it's not, it's what you would expect. It's just, it doesn't come up as much. But one of the first

00:20:41.720 Google results, if you go to and you google toxic femininity, one of the first results is an article

00:20:47.140 in, I think, psychology today or something, explaining what toxic femininity is. And according 1.00

00:20:53.920 to this article, toxic femininity is just internalized misogyny. So actually, toxic femininity

00:20:59.900 is the fault of men also. Toxic femininity, in other words, is another version of toxic masculinity. 1.00

00:21:08.520 So if the term is ever used, it's going to be used in that way, in a way that somehow it blames men.

00:21:13.560 It's never going to be used in the same way that toxic masculinity is used in reference to men.

00:21:24.300 So that's a problem. Nobody ever, and so all you have to do is think, well,

00:21:31.680 how would it seem, how would I feel if somebody did start using the phrase toxic femininity in the

00:21:38.980 same way that they say toxic masculinity, everybody would just, would feel that it's insulting and

00:21:43.820 demeaning towards women. And it would be. But if it's insulting and demeaning towards women, then it's

00:21:49.760 not hard to see how toxic masculinity is insulting and demeaning towards men. Second point is that

00:21:56.620 they get into, and this is something we hear a lot about, well, you don't, we don't want to tell

00:22:04.040 boys that men act a certain way, or this is what a real man does. No, actually, we do want to tell

00:22:12.400 boys that. That's a very positive and good message. There's nothing wrong with telling them to be

00:22:20.940 strong or encouraging them to exercise control over their emotions. Obviously, these messages can be

00:22:27.240 delivered in the wrong way. But the fundamental point is good and important. The problem in our

00:22:36.960 culture isn't that boys are being thrown into a man box or forced to conform to some strict notion of

00:22:43.920 masculinity. The problem is exactly the opposite. For so many boys, they're given no instruction on how to

00:22:51.880 be a man, no example to follow, no guidance on how to grow and mature in their masculinity.

00:23:00.960 So the folks over at A Call to Men talking about the man box and how we have these rigid notions of

00:23:05.780 masculinity, these people are, and just like many people when they talk about masculinity, it's like

00:23:11.020 they're living in the 1940s, just like Joe Biden. They haven't noticed that the era of the strong and

00:23:17.160 stoic man ended a long time ago. It's not like that anymore. We're now living in the era of drag 1.00

00:23:25.260 queens and feminism and gender fluidity and fatherless homes. Most boys these days have no clue how to be

00:23:33.360 a man, no idea what to do with their masculine energy because nobody has ever told them. Nobody has

00:23:40.460 ever showed them. The fact of the matter is this. Most boys are born with a propensity to, quote,

00:23:50.800 behave a certain way. That's not an invention. We didn't come up with that. There's a reason why

00:23:59.220 nearly every civilization in human history across the world, across time, has come to remarkably similar

00:24:05.920 conclusions about the sorts of things that men are supposed to do. They didn't arbitrarily and

00:24:12.300 coincidentally invent the same social construct for men. No, what they did is they noticed certain

00:24:20.560 things about men. They noticed that men are naturally aggressive. And so they said, well, men should be

00:24:26.340 warriors. They noticed that men are stronger than women. And so they said, well, men should be the

00:24:32.120 protectors. They noticed that men have a greater desire and instinct to leave their homes and go

00:24:38.580 out into the wild. And so they said men should be hunters and providers. They noticed that boys have

00:24:46.460 lots of physical energy. So they came up with sports for boys to play. The point is that societies until

00:24:53.800 very recently did not invent masculinity. They harnessed it. They said, this is what masculinity is.

00:25:01.700 This is what men do. This is how they act. This is how they're inclined to act. And so let's find

00:25:08.620 useful, healthy ways for them to challenge or to channel rather that masculine energy. And the same

00:25:19.760 thing was done with women and femininity. But nowadays we insist, despite all evidence to the 0.98

00:25:26.640 contrary, that boys are not naturally inclined to act any particular way. Or worse, we say that their

00:25:33.940 natural inclinations are toxic. So this results in the best case scenario. It results with boys who are

00:25:40.500 not given any roadmap to follow, not given any direction, not told at all how to be a man.

00:25:46.200 And in the worst case scenario, it results in many cases with parents, teachers, politicians,

00:25:52.420 et cetera, who set out to directly and intentionally break a boy's spirit and cure him of his masculinity

00:25:58.820 as if it's cancer. This is done with psychiatric drugs. It's done with hormone pills. It's done with

00:26:05.440 brainwashing sessions, with drag queens at the library, any number of equally insidious ways. 0.99

00:26:11.060 Just think about the school system as a microcosm, as an example of this.

00:26:19.980 If boys are disproportionately struggling in school, and they are, boys get worse grades,

00:26:25.480 boys get punished more often, they drop out more often. But we look at that. Boys are having a tough

00:26:32.120 time in school. Okay. Is it because the school system is trying to put boys in a rigid box of

00:26:40.760 masculinity? Is that what's happening? You think that's what's happening in the average public

00:26:45.000 school? That their notions of masculinity are too narrow and traditional? No, of course not.

00:26:53.000 If boys are put in any box at school, it's a box for girls. That's the problem. The school system

00:26:59.940 requires students to sit for long periods of time, remain calm, memorize information, etc. These are

00:27:06.520 all things that girls are very good at naturally. The problem for boys is that they're not so good

00:27:12.260 at those things naturally, but they're forced to do it anyway. So it's not that they're forced to be

00:27:17.960 masculine. It's that they're not allowed to be masculine. Think also about the way that

00:27:24.780 of the rules and the way things are punished. So boys with, again, that aggression, that physical

00:27:33.960 energy, that strength, they're more likely, if they have a disagreement, if they don't like somebody,

00:27:39.060 if they have a fight, they're more likely to punch each other in the face. That's what boys are more

00:27:42.960 likely to do. Whereas girls are more inclined to cut each other down verbally, spread rumors, that kind 1.00

00:27:49.540 of thing. Now, I think we all know this, any of us who went to school as kids, the verbal attacks,

00:27:58.720 the rumors that are spread about you. If you're an adult now in your 20s, 30s, 40s, 50s, and you still

00:28:08.080 sometimes think about a form of bullying that happened to you when you were a kid, if you still

00:28:15.680 feel somewhat affected by it, it's probably not the time that you got punched in the mouth.

00:28:22.120 You probably don't think about that at all. It's going to be the verbal, you know, the way you

00:28:27.620 were cut down verbally, the rumors. That stuff has a lasting impact. That stuff is in so many ways

00:28:35.620 way worse than physical fights. You've got kids in school now who are developing lifelong complexes

00:28:44.760 that things are happening, that they're going to be in therapy for the next 30 years because of it.

00:28:50.380 And it's not because they got punched in the mouth.

00:28:54.220 It's because of the verbal stuff, the psychological stuff, the emotional stuff.

00:29:01.700 Yet, you know, if boys get mad at each other and they punch each other in the face, they can get

00:29:06.480 expelled. It could have effects on their whole, it could ruin their life. You get expelled when you're

00:29:13.540 12 years old. That could set you on a course, maybe not ruin, but not your life is over, but

00:29:19.040 it's going to set you on, it's going to profoundly change the course of your life to be expelled,

00:29:23.800 let's say, at the age of 12. So, yeah, boys, boys, you know, sort of expressing their

00:29:32.320 their anger in that way. They're going to, they could be expelled. Meanwhile, girls expressing

00:29:43.120 their anger in ways that are far more damaging, what do they get? Stern talking to, maybe detention,

00:29:50.140 if that, probably nothing in most cases. So, I would say that if there's any rigid gender

00:29:58.380 construct being forced on boys and men, it is a feminine one. After all, we are the first

00:30:05.740 civilization in human history that has attempted to literally turn boys into girls. So, when

00:30:11.980 I say we're trying to turn boys into girls, we are literally trying to do that. Not just

00:30:17.680 trying, we think we've done it. There are a lot of people in this culture who think that

00:30:21.760 they, that you, not only can you try, but you can really do that. So, if we really want

00:30:29.100 to help boys, we need to accept them for who they are. This is one thing, this is, our culture

00:30:37.620 is supposed to be all about this, self-acceptance, right? How many marketing campaigns, how many

00:30:42.840 self-help books have been written about this? Well, we need to accept boys for who they are

00:30:48.900 as boys, and help them grow in that identity. Not grow past it, or beyond it, or grow in

00:30:57.140 that identity. You're a boy, you're masculine, that's good, that's wonderful, that's good

00:31:03.920 for you, it's good for society, it'll be good for your family one day, but here is how you

00:31:10.540 channel that. This is the direction you go with it. That's the message we need to have

00:31:16.140 for boys, in my opinion. Okay, finally, have to mention this before we get to emails. South

00:31:25.820 Korea has a new menu item at their Papa John's locations. It's called the American Pizza, and

00:31:32.260 here it is. Take a look at this. Yes, that's a pizza with hot dogs on every slice. I have

00:31:39.260 to say, as an American, I find this to be an offensive degradation of my culture. Also,

00:31:45.460 secondarily, I'll take two slices, please. Thank you. I think actually the bigger issue

00:31:50.760 when you look at it is the cheese on this pizza. It looks like Cheez Whiz or something,

00:31:56.900 not mozzarella. Now, it's not a complaint, okay, but I'm just trying to figure it out.

00:32:01.220 And honestly, some people are offended by this pizza. If you could put pineapple, if you could

00:32:07.880 put fruit on a pizza, then there's nothing wrong with hot dogs. So, lay off the South 1.00

00:32:14.140 Koreans on this one. All right, you know, leftists have taken over the culture in Hollywood and

00:32:18.920 academia, even online. It's dangerous because they want to shut down open debate. Well, in

00:32:26.320 theaters this Friday, actually, that would be today, right? Yeah, in theaters today, starring

00:32:31.760 Adam Carolla and Dennis Prager, No Safe Spaces is finally being released. Adam and Dennis take you

00:32:36.840 on a wild ride to show you the effects of political correctness, identity politics, cancel culture. The

00:32:41.620 film takes you through the impact on college campuses, big tech, Hollywood. No Safe Spaces argues

00:32:46.540 that free speech is important in society. And more than that, it shows you how it's being

00:32:54.600 threatened. And more importantly than that, it shows you what we can do to fight back against

00:32:59.700 those threats. It's not your typical documentary. It has animation, recreations, plenty of Adam

00:33:05.740 Carolla signature humor as well. No Safe Spaces takes you behind the scenes on Ben Shapiro's

00:33:10.540 riot-filled trip to UC Berkeley. The God King of the Daily Wire has a cameo. I'm even in the movie for a

00:33:16.940 split second, so you could watch it just for that reason alone. If you can spot me in the movie,

00:33:21.840 then I'll send Prager to your house to wash your car, which I feel like is something that needs

00:33:28.520 more explanation, but I'm not going to give you more explanation. No Safe Spaces, rated PG-13 in

00:33:33.260 theaters Friday, December 6th. Go to nosafespaces.com slash Walsh for ticket information and theater

00:33:40.740 locations. Okay, we'll go to emails now. MattWalshshow at gmail.com. MattWalshshow at gmail.com.

00:33:47.800 This is from Brandon. Says, hi, Matt. Maybe you already covered it, but what did you think of

00:33:51.620 Tim Ryan's comments about Lamar Jackson? Yeah, Brandon, I didn't actually cover it.

00:33:57.400 For anyone who didn't hear about this, a 49ers radio announcer got suspended from his job

00:34:02.760 after he said a few days ago that one of the reasons the Niners struggled against Lamar Jackson

00:34:11.360 last week is that they couldn't see the ball on play action because the ball blended in with his

00:34:17.200 jersey, which was black, and also his dark skin color. That's what Tim Ryan said. And by the way,

00:34:24.320 I was reading an article in the San Francisco Chronicle about this, and it identified Ryan

00:34:30.120 as the Niners' color analyst, and you cannot convince me that that was not supposed to be some

00:34:36.080 kind of pun. But what do I think about what he said? Well, it's stupid, obviously. I mean,

00:34:43.460 you might as well say that white players have an advantage because the baseball blends in with 0.77

00:34:49.280 their pasty white skin. It just, it doesn't make any sense. So it's a dumb comment. And it's one that

00:34:55.220 as a broadcaster in the year 2019, you have to know, you have to know that it's going to spark a

00:35:03.700 significant backlash. You, you, it just, you gotta know that, come on, you, you, you, so it's, it's,

00:35:10.560 it's not something that I would at all defend because it's dumb. It's inaccurate, clearly. And,

00:35:18.360 uh, it's just as a, as a professional broadcaster, you, you gotta know better than that.

00:35:23.960 Now, does this make Tim Ryan a racist? Well, I don't know anything about Tim Ryan,

00:35:30.500 know nothing about him whatsoever. Uh, Richard Sherman, the, the cornerback now for the, uh,

00:35:36.840 for the San Francisco 49ers, he was interviewed about this and he said he wasn't that offended by

00:35:42.520 the comment. He knows Tim Ryan and knows that he's not a racist. So I'll defer to Richard Sherman on

00:35:47.800 that. This particular comment does, does it make him a racist? No, of course it doesn't. It's stupid.

00:35:55.120 You could say it's racially insensitive. Um, if you want to find the most negative possible

00:36:01.300 interpretation of it, you could say that he was trying to diminish Lamar's accomplishments by

00:36:06.240 crediting his skin color rather than his skill. That would be the most unflattering possible way

00:36:12.600 to, to translate what he said. And even that, and I'm not really sure that that's what he actually

00:36:18.040 set out to do, but even that wouldn't be racist. Okay. Being a racist means that you think a

00:36:25.180 particular race is inferior to you, to your race. So the fact that Tim Ryan said that the ball blends

00:36:32.160 in with Lamar Jackson's skin, does that mean that he, he's saying that Lamar is inferior to him?

00:36:37.440 No. And that, that's, that's a hell of a stretch. Um, I, I think we have to be able sometimes to say,

00:36:44.080 look, somebody said something dumb about race without automatically concluding that it makes

00:36:53.200 them a racist. It is possible to say stupid stuff about race and racial issues without being a racist

00:37:01.480 automatically. So I think Tim Ryan, yeah, he was suspended. Um, and, and of course that, that,

00:37:09.460 you know, the 49ers suspended, of course they're going to, and, and from their perspective, it's

00:37:15.540 like you're, you're, you work for us. This is not, we don't hire you to bring in this kind of

00:37:19.500 attention to us. So you're going to be, but I don't think he should be fired for it. I don't

00:37:23.720 think his life should be destroyed. Um, I think unfortunately, maybe it will be because that's

00:37:29.780 the culture we live in, but you suspend him for a game, you made your point and he gets back to it.

00:37:35.060 And, um, and we move on. And so it's not really not a big deal at the end of the day. Okay. Um,

00:37:42.980 from Joshua says, dear Matt, I'm a 20 year old named Joshua who enjoys listening to your wise and

00:37:50.640 witty musings from the comfort of convict land elsewhere known as Australia. However, I must

00:37:56.060 protest your cultural ignorance. Australia is a lazy country founded by criminals that we speak the 0.95

00:38:01.340 English language at all is an accomplishment. It is common practice here to shorten words such as

00:38:05.820 Australian track suit, breakfast, and McDonald's to Aussie trackies, brekkie, and mackas respectively.

00:38:15.440 McDonald's is mackas. Now in this country, you'll hear people say Mickey D's,

00:38:20.540 which I don't like that, but it makes, it's, it's sounds a lot, makes more sense than mackas.

00:38:26.220 I ask forgiveness and compassion for the oddities of Australian slang and apologize

00:38:31.760 deeply for any that has seeped into the United States. Yeah, Joshua, I got several emails from

00:38:37.360 folks in Australia, in, uh, in Australia defending brekkie on the basis that it's some kind of cultural

00:38:44.060 thing. I must say that I do not accept your apology. It is no excuse. You guys don't have the

00:38:52.500 right to just hang out over there on the bottom of the world, abbreviating whatever words you want.

00:39:00.620 Okay. Like you think nobody notices you think, Oh, we're in Australia. No one's no, it's,

00:39:06.640 this is a society. Damn it. There are rules. Words have, you can't just attach an IE or a wide,

00:39:14.860 any word you want. Who do you people think you are? Where do you get off doing this?

00:39:23.040 So your ancestors were convicts. Uh, and what you think that gives you a pass to continue acting

00:39:27.340 like barbarians? We all had ancestors who at one point peed in pots in their bedrooms and then dumped 0.98

00:39:35.940 the contents of the pot into the street. They would just open the window and dump the pot out

00:39:41.240 into the street. Doesn't matter if there's anyone walking below. Doesn't matter.

00:39:44.940 Watch out. Here it comes. Well, you know what I do? I use a toilet.

00:39:50.280 Okay. Because just because my ancestors did that doesn't mean that I'm going to do it

00:39:55.680 because I'm civilized. Damn it.

00:40:00.340 So you must stop this Australia. You stop it right now. I demand it is not okay. 0.89

00:40:05.340 It doesn't even, it doesn't even make sense because breck. Okay. Brecky. That's two syllables.

00:40:12.440 Brecky. Brecky. Breakfast. It's also two syllables. You're not even saving any time.

00:40:19.620 What's the point? What's the point? That's another thing. As you know, you add this to the list of rules,

00:40:25.940 but as dictator, I will of course ban, um, attaching I E or Y to the end of words where it doesn't belong.

00:40:32.160 Um, but in general, abbreviating a word where the abbreviation is just as long as the original word

00:40:40.380 or even in some cases longer, that's not going to be allowed.

00:40:48.640 Um, all right. We'll go to Ross says, dear future theocratic dictator under your regime. What will be

00:40:54.480 the standard breakfast sandwich? To me, it should be two eggs, broken yolk, but not scrambled in a cast iron

00:40:59.500 pan with bacon or sausage patty and a slice of sharp cheddar cheese. Bread should be honey wheat

00:41:03.240 toasted, of course, with mayonnaise or butter. I'll admit the mayonnaise seems strange at first,

00:41:07.780 but I tried it under the advice from my sister and now it's a staple of my breakfast sandwich.

00:41:12.080 Please let me know so I can plan accordingly for a swift death or a hope that everyone will enjoy

00:41:17.620 the best breakfast every single morning. Love the show. Well, Ross, you were on the right path

00:41:21.780 until you got to the bread and condiment choice and the whole thing just went off the rails

00:41:26.380 and hundreds of people died in the wreckage. Let me clarify this. The correct breakfast sandwich,

00:41:33.120 not breakfast sandwich, not, not, not brekkie sandwich, or I guess as they would say in Australia,

00:41:38.220 brekkie Sammy. Is that what you guys say? I bet it is what you say. Yeah. Can I have a brekkie Sammy?

00:41:44.440 No, the correct breakfast sandwich would be two eggs, sunny side up, sausage. I'm sorry,

00:41:56.260 but bacon is an inferior choice for a breakfast sandwich. And then as you say, sharp cheddar

00:42:01.420 cheese, American cheese is a disgrace, anathema. And then you're going to either use regular white bread

00:42:08.400 or if you want to get fancy, you can use rye. Honey wheat bread is for children. Grow up.

00:42:14.140 You should be embarrassed. And then you're going to use butter. You're going to butter both sides.

00:42:19.740 You're going to throw the bread onto the pan for a quick toast or, or into the broiler for a quick

00:42:24.860 toast. Okay. It's not a full on toast. You want the bread to still have some give to it,

00:42:28.940 but really this is about you're stiffing the bread a little bit. And it's also about

00:42:32.880 making sure the butter is melted and you put some salt and pepper on that and you're just going to enjoy

00:42:37.240 it. That's it. You don't need to add anything. No, no mayonnaise. God forbid you put ketchup on it.

00:42:44.200 Look, if you want to put some hot sauce on the thing, I'm not going to stop you.

00:42:48.360 I think it's unnecessary, but if you want to, that, that will be acceptable. Nothing else needs

00:42:52.280 to be added to it. And, um, but thank you for that question. These are the kinds of issues that I

00:42:59.960 like to address on this show. And I think we'll leave it there on a Friday. Hope you guys have a great

00:43:04.520 weekend. Um, go Ravens, of course, and Godspeed.
