00:00:00.000
Today on the Matt Wall Show, a lot to discuss. First, we are going to talk about the media's
00:00:03.800
love affair with Governor Andrew Cuomo in New York. He's being painted as the hero of the
00:00:08.040
pandemic. But the reality is much closer to the opposite. And we'll talk about why also some girls
00:00:13.720
in Connecticut, heroic, I think, heroic girls, are suing to prevent boys from competing in girl
00:00:19.840
sports. But the judge presiding over the case has instructed the lawyers of the girls that they must
00:00:26.160
refer to biological boys in women's sports as female, which, of course, destroys the entire
00:00:32.960
case. It's impossible for the girls to make their case if they have to pretend in the courtroom that
00:00:38.420
the boys are female. So we'll talk about that insanity. And in our daily cancellation, I will
00:00:42.900
cancel a New York Times writer who thinks that mothers should be getting paid to be mothers for
00:00:48.220
all the work they do in the house. And I'll discuss that and explain why that doesn't work at all.
00:00:54.560
It makes no sense. But starting with this, the media has smothered New York Governor Andrew Cuomo
00:01:00.080
with fawning praise from the beginning of this crisis all the way to now. The downpour of adulation
00:01:06.800
has not let up at any point. And they're still saying even now that he's been brilliant. He's a
00:01:14.720
great leader. Maybe he should be the candidate instead of Joe Biden, which that part they're
00:01:19.580
probably right about. But then again, I could pull a crusty old sponge from under my sink,
00:01:23.860
and that would make a better candidate than Joe Biden at this point. In any case, you contrast that
00:01:28.740
with the scorn heaped on, take somebody like Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, who we are told
00:01:36.740
is reckless and dangerous and imbecilic and all of these other things. But you can't help but notice
00:01:43.660
a key difference between these two governors that may explain the varied reception they have received.
00:01:49.680
And that difference, of course, is the letter next to their name. I don't think it's probably
00:01:54.560
not a coincidence, actually, that they call me crazy. But the media has discovered that all of
00:01:59.820
the governors who are doing a great job happen to be Democrat. The governors who are doing a terrible
00:02:04.080
job happen to be Republican. But there is another difference, especially between the governor of New
00:02:10.160
York and the governor of Florida. And this is one that the media pretends not to notice and hopes that
00:02:15.360
you also will not notice. And that is this. Governor Cuomo has done the worst job of containing the
00:02:21.120
outbreak in his state, over 20,000 people dead, while Governor DeSantis has been among the best,
00:02:26.540
fewer than 2,000 dead, with a population slightly larger than New York state.
00:02:31.120
So this appears to be the general pattern, right? The governors who have presided over the worst
00:02:36.200
outbreaks are hailed as heroes. And we're told that everything they're doing is right and correct,
00:02:41.420
and we should model ourselves after it. While the governors who have been most successful in
00:02:46.200
controlling the spread are cast as villains. And nowhere is this upside down approach more evident
00:02:52.120
than with Governor Cuomo, who is the coronavirus champion, we're told. And yet he's managed to get
00:02:58.300
everything wrong every step of the way. Now, granted, he has faced a greater challenge than any other
00:03:04.380
governor, you might argue, because his state happens to contain a city with 26,000 people
00:03:11.580
packed into every square mile. Now, that's going to make it a lot more difficult. And also granted
00:03:16.060
that many of his missteps are the same missteps that many other governors and elected officials have
00:03:22.540
made. It's very clear now that locking everybody in their homes and driving a knife directly into the
00:03:27.100
heart of the economy and embracing a Great Depression on purpose in order to fight a virus
00:03:32.260
was a very bad strategy and one that may in the end take more lives than it saves.
00:03:37.220
Cuomo doesn't then deserve unique blame for the disaster in that way. I mean, he deserves a lot
00:03:45.640
of the same blame that a lot of other people deserve. But he also doesn't deserve unique praise,
00:03:49.980
which is what he's getting. At best, he has been just as incompetent as everybody else. That's the
00:03:55.980
best thing you could say about him. And I think even that is being too generous. Cuomo not only kept
00:04:01.460
the subway system open, despite it being a known vector for the illness, but he apparently
00:04:06.260
didn't think that he should even give it a thorough cleaning until this week. We played the video last
00:04:11.740
week, or this past week, I should say. This past week, we played the video of they shut down overnight
00:04:16.860
service of the subway and they brought all these people in in hazmat suits to clean the subway system.
00:04:21.500
It's the first time they had done that since this started two months ago. But this is the kind of
00:04:27.000
decision making we get from Cuomo. Worse though, Cuomo, as I have been talking about, and I think
00:04:33.040
this is the story of the coronavirus. This right here is the story that Andrew Cuomo, not just him,
00:04:43.860
other governors too, forced nursing homes to take in coronavirus patients, which is really the equivalent
00:04:51.280
of starting a campfire on a windy day in a forest full of dead wood during wildfire season. I mean,
00:04:57.120
it is that reckless. In fact, for the record, here is the, March 25th, Governor Cuomo handed down his
00:05:06.540
order commanding nursing homes to take in COVID-19 patients. And here's the order. I'm not going to
00:05:14.680
read the whole thing, but it says, no resident shall be denied readmission or admission to the
00:05:20.360
NIH, nursing home, solely based on a confirmed or suspected diagnosis of COVID-19. NIHs are prohibited
00:05:27.360
from requiring a hospitalized resident who is determined medically stable to be tested for
00:05:31.940
COVID-19 prior to admission or readmission. Did you get that? It's not just that they were forced to
00:05:38.940
take in COVID-19 patients. But the nursing homes weren't even allowed to require testing before
00:05:45.900
bringing the people in. Now, it has been well known from the beginning that nursing homes are
00:05:52.340
particularly vulnerable to outbreaks and their residents are most at risk of fatal complications
00:05:57.260
from the illness. Nearly 5,000 residents have died, nursing home residents have died from coronavirus
00:06:03.200
in New York alone. And that's just what we know about. They added another 1,700 deaths last
00:06:08.940
week that they hadn't told us about in New York. So are there more deaths they haven't told us about?
00:06:14.040
I think probably so. In many other states across the country, well over half of all fatalities have
00:06:18.620
happened in nursing homes. That's why I say this is the story right here of the coronavirus. It's this,
00:06:24.060
it's what's happening in nursing homes. And what's happening is a travesty and a tragedy and an outrage,
00:06:28.460
a moral outrage, because our elected officials tasked with protecting these people have failed.
00:06:35.400
And protecting them should have been pretty easy to do because they are contained in isolated areas
00:06:42.240
already in a medical or at least semi-medical environment. So it shouldn't be that hard to
00:06:49.320
protect them. Yet our elected officials failed miserably. They didn't just fail, they took active
00:06:56.540
steps to put these people in harm's way and thousands upon thousands of people died as a direct result of
00:07:02.460
that. Cuomo's decision to forcibly introduce the infection into these facilities, while also
00:07:08.920
refusing to provide protective gear, because he said, quote, that's not our job. And he was asked
00:07:14.460
about, shouldn't you at least send protective gear if you're going to send the COVID-19 patients into
00:07:19.260
nursing homes? And he said, that's not my job. I don't have to do that. That decision, all of this
00:07:25.280
together can be directly blamed for many deaths. How many? Who knows? Thousands.
00:07:32.660
The nursing home mandate is a, is a breathtaking scandal in and of itself, but you're not going to
00:07:37.700
hear much about it on the news because the news media has already settled on us. Cuomo, the, you
00:07:41.960
know, their narrative is Cuomo, the, the Corona conqueror. And you especially won't hear about it on
00:07:48.420
CNN, a news network that has enlisted Cuomo's admiring younger brother to conduct its interviews
00:07:55.180
with the governor. You know, in the middle of all this, you've got a governor and his state's hit
00:08:01.540
worse than anybody else's. He has made some, to put it mildly, extremely controversial decisions in
00:08:07.060
the midst of this. And CNN, which is supposed to be a news organization, um, when they want to bring
00:08:15.040
him on to talk to him about it, they have his younger brother interview him. And these segments,
00:08:22.720
of course, receive fawning approval too, from the media. The media loves it. But something tells me,
00:08:27.380
I mean, imagine if, if, um, you think about the, the reception that these Cuomo v. Cuomo chat sessions
00:08:34.460
get, and people talk about how great they are and cute and wonderful. Um, something tells me that the
00:08:40.340
people impressed by, by that would not be nearly as impressed if Fox hired, let's say,
00:08:44.580
Don Jr. to do cutesy little interviews with his father, um, about the coronavirus or about anything
00:08:51.260
else, in fact. So look, as I said, obviously we cannot blame Cuomo for every death in his state,
00:08:58.180
but we can ask whether there's any good reason to praise his performance. I see compelling evidence
00:09:04.060
that his leadership has been a huge failure. Where is the evidence that it's been a smashing success?
00:09:09.260
I don't see that evidence. Maybe a different way of phrasing this question is,
00:09:14.140
if Cuomo's leadership during this crisis has not been a failure, what exactly would failure look like
00:09:21.440
if not like this? We'll have more to say about this in, uh, in just a second. A couple,
00:09:26.780
a couple other points about all this, but before we do, um, let me tell you about our very good
00:09:32.000
friends at Rock Auto. If you're looking for car parts, if you're, if you're looking for great
00:09:37.740
selection and great prices, then Rock Auto is the best website that there is for it. I mean,
00:09:44.180
period, hands down, it's as simple as that. That's why I'm always telling you about rockauto.com
00:09:46.820
because I really believe in it. I use it all the time myself. Rockauto.com is so much easier than
00:09:50.940
walking into a store, dealing with all the questions, not finding what you need, paying higher
00:09:55.960
prices, cut out the middleman, cut out the trip to the store, especially these days,
00:10:00.300
and just go to rockauto.com. Always offers the lowest prices possible rather than changing
00:10:04.620
prices based on what the market will bear. You know, so they're not going to charge you more
00:10:08.200
because they think they can get more out of you. They're going to, they're going to charge as low
00:10:10.720
as they possibly can. Rockauto.com is a family business, which I love serving auto parts customers
00:10:16.340
online for 20 years. Go to rockauto.com to shop for auto and body parts for hundreds of manufacturers.
00:10:21.500
Go to rockauto.com right now. See all the parts available for your car, truck, right? Walsh in there.
00:10:26.080
How did you hear about us box? So that they know that we sent you. Okay. A couple
00:10:30.240
of addendums here, a couple of, uh, by the ways. First, this mandate with the nursing homes was
00:10:36.700
finally reversed, um, uh, just a few days ago, but the reversal itself makes the original mandate
00:10:45.900
seem even worse. So here's the daily wires report. It says on Sunday, Cuomo reassured New Yorkers
00:10:51.340
that the state would no longer send coronavirus patients to nursing home facilities. Um, according to
00:10:57.680
reporter, Zach Fink quote, reversing his March 25th directive, forcing nursing homes to readmit
00:11:01.820
residents who were treated at a hospital for COVID-19, those residents can only come back if
00:11:06.900
they test negative for the virus. Per ABC news, uh, Cuomo said, now we're just not going to send a
00:11:14.140
person who was positive to a nursing home after a hospital visit. He said such patients would be
00:11:18.100
accommodated elsewhere, suggesting they could be directed to sites originally set up as temporary
00:11:22.460
hospitals. What do you know? You think, I mean, in New York, you had all this extra, you had,
00:11:28.120
you had ships coming in, you had, uh, temporary field hospitals. I mean, all this stuff, all this
00:11:32.800
extra space, most of it wasn't used. So maybe use some of that space rather than sending COVID
00:11:41.180
infected people into nursing homes so that they can infect hundreds of other people. And then a bunch
00:11:44.640
of people will die. You know, how about that? Now, Cuomo also released a new set of nursing home
00:11:50.080
regulations telling, um, Twitter that quote, all nursing home staff must now be tested for COVID
00:11:57.240
twice a week. This role is rule is not optional. It's, it's mandatory. Uh, he said, quote, this virus
00:12:03.620
uses nursing homes. They are ground zero. They're the vulnerable population in the vulnerable location.
00:12:09.560
Okay. So the nursing homes are ground zero. The virus uses nursing homes. We've known this from the
00:12:18.200
beginning. So why did you send people? Why did you create more ground zeros? If you know, the virus
00:12:26.760
uses nursing homes, which we have known since early March, if not earlier, um, why did you send
00:12:34.440
the virus into nursing homes to be used? Another note, you know, other states have done this. As I
00:12:42.540
mentioned, California, California, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, they have all sent COVID infected
00:12:47.380
elderly people into nursing homes and thousands upon thousands of deaths can be traced back
00:12:53.460
to these mandates. The point is for all this talk about killing grandmas, you know, if you go to a park,
00:13:05.000
if you go to a, the beach, we're told that what you're going to hear from, from, from the pro lockdown
00:13:11.940
camp is that you're killing grandma. Well, no, no, he, he, he, that doesn't kill grandma. Okay. You go to
00:13:20.100
a park or the beach, the virus probably isn't going to be spread anyway, but even if it is, if, if, if grandma's
00:13:27.100
not at the beach, she's not going to get it. Okay. If she's staying isolated in her home, she's not going to
00:13:33.740
get it. It doesn't matter what you do. Okay. I mean, you, you could go to the beach and be coughing
00:13:38.000
directly in people's faces. Please don't, but you're only going to give it to grandma if grandma's
00:13:43.280
there or if someone else gets it and then goes and visits grandma. But it's, it's very easy to not,
00:13:49.260
we can isolate grandma. If grandma wants to be isolated, she can be isolated.
00:13:55.180
Now, if, if grandma decides that she doesn't want to be isolated, I think there are a lot of
00:13:58.340
grandmas who are saying, you know, including my own parents, by the way, who are, who are,
00:14:03.340
who are grandmas and grandpas, you know, like, I don't know, 20 times over by now.
00:14:08.940
And what they're saying, and I've heard this from a lot of, of older people is basically,
00:14:12.480
you know, it's not like they're suicidal. They don't have a death, death wish, but at the same
00:14:15.620
time, first of all, you don't need to shut down the whole economy for our sake. You don't need to
00:14:19.620
create a great depression for our sake. Okay. We don't want our, our children and grandchildren
00:14:23.240
to be destitute to keep us safe. And also what I'm hearing from, from, from older people is,
00:14:29.600
you know, I, I, I don't have a, it's not like I got 50 years left on earth. I want to go live my
00:14:34.940
life. I want to see my family. I want to do things. I don't, I don't want to hide in my house for the
00:14:38.860
next two years waiting for a vaccine. So the point is grandma might make the decision, might say,
00:14:45.180
I want to go out. I want to go to the beach. I think it's a very low risk going to the beach,
00:14:49.380
even for grandma. I think she'll probably be fine, but regardless, she's an adult. She makes that
00:14:53.360
decision. Okay. Um, and she, and she should be able to make that decision and take the relatively
00:15:00.260
moderate risk. The only, again, the only way that you as an individual put grandma in harm's way is
00:15:09.420
if she chooses to go out and about. If she isolates in her home, she's fine. But if you want to know
00:15:17.020
something that really did kill grandmas, you want to talk about who the real grandma killers are?
00:15:21.740
Here it is. The grandma killers, they are not sitting on a park bench. They're not, they're not
00:15:26.820
in, you know, sun sun tanning at the beach. They are sitting in governor's mansions, passing down
00:15:34.900
edicts and mandates requiring that nursing homes accept COVID infected people. They're the grandma
00:15:41.820
killers. Who's the grandma killer? Andrew Cuomo is a grandma killer. All right, let's go to
00:15:50.420
headlines because there's a bunch of interesting stories we got to talk about. But before we talk
00:15:56.160
about any of that, um, I got to tell you about, uh, I'm very happy to tell you about Bambi. You
00:16:01.840
know, when running an issue, when running a business, I should say, HR issues, uh, can kill you. And
00:16:08.440
especially these days, you know, added problems like that, dealing with HR, it's very complicated
00:16:13.360
time. Um, that can be, uh, you know, very difficult and it could cause a lot of extra problems.
00:16:19.120
And that's why it's so important. If you're running a business, you know, you got to have a very good
00:16:22.600
HR department, wrongful termination suits, minimum wage requirements, labor regulations,
00:16:27.320
all of that stuff you're dealing with. And HR manager salaries aren't cheap, by the way,
00:16:32.060
you know, in the average salary, you're talking $75,000 a year. A lot of companies don't have that
00:16:35.860
kind of money. So, um, Bambi spelled B-A-M-B-E-E was created specifically for small businesses.
00:16:42.700
You can get a dedicated HR manager. You can craft HR policy. You can, uh, maintain your compliance
00:16:48.040
all for just $99 a month rather than $75,000 a year. We're talking $99 a month with Bambi. You can
00:16:53.860
change HR from your biggest liability to your biggest strength, just like that. And your dedicated
00:16:59.460
HR manager is available by phone, email, real time chat from onboarding to terminations that
00:17:04.260
customize your policies to fit your business. This is all about what you want to do. Okay.
00:17:08.260
You're not fitting into their mold. They're fitting into your mold. Month to month, no hidden fees. You
00:17:12.480
can cancel anytime. Go to Bambi.com slash Walsh right now to schedule your free HR audit. That's
00:17:18.640
Bambi.com slash Walsh. B-A-M-B-E-E.com slash Walsh. That's B-A-M-B-E-E.com slash Walsh.
00:17:28.980
Okay. Your headlines. Number one, if you listen to the show for a while, or you've read my pieces on
00:17:33.900
the Daily Wire, then you have heard plenty about the situation up in Connecticut where a couple of
00:17:37.960
male runners who claim to be girls have been dominating the girls' track and field circle.
00:17:42.400
These quote unquote transgender girls, i.e. boys, would be mediocre sort of middle of the pack
00:17:50.740
runners if they were competing against their own kind, which would be the boys. If they were doing
00:17:56.580
what they were supposed to be doing and not cheating, they wouldn't be running in the States
00:18:00.800
or even the regional championships probably. Their times are not impressive for boys.
00:18:07.340
But against the girls, they're almost unstoppable. Fortunately, some real girls, some quite brave real
00:18:15.200
girls are fighting back and they're filing a lawsuit, God bless them, to try to protect women's
00:18:20.740
sports. Because the adults, most of the adults in this country are too afraid. Too afraid to fight
00:18:27.420
back against this. Too afraid to be being called a bigot. If we're going to have women's sports,
00:18:32.000
if girls' sports are going to exist, somebody's got to stand up and do this and fight for it.
00:18:37.820
And so it falls on these teenage girls to do it. I mean, think about all the parents across the
00:18:44.540
country who have their kids in these sports and then have their daughters in these sports and then
00:18:51.760
the boys start invading. And think of all the parents that just tolerate it. Rather than standing
00:18:58.300
up and saying, no, this is not going to happen. I mean, banding together as parents and saying,
00:19:03.500
we are not going to allow this. We're not going to put our kids, our girls, our daughters in these
00:19:10.460
sports to be a part of this spectacle, this charade. No, parents don't do that because they're afraid.
00:19:17.540
You know, they're more afraid of being called a bigot than they are determined to protect the
00:19:25.500
dignity of their own and safety of their own daughters. So these teenage girls, though,
00:19:30.720
they've stepped up. They filed a lawsuit trying to bar boys from competing in girls' sports.
00:19:37.360
But now the attorneys of the girls filing the lawsuits are trying to get the judge presiding over
00:19:44.100
the case recused, or trying to get him to recuse himself. And the National Review explains why.
00:19:51.060
It says, during an April 16th conference call, Judge Robert Chitigny chastised the ADF attorneys
00:19:57.680
for referring to the male athletes seeking to compete in the women's division as males. According
00:20:02.520
to a transcript of the call obtained by National Review, this is what Chitigny said. Okay, I'm reading
00:20:08.040
now from what this is what the judge said to these lawyers. He said, what I'm saying is you must refer
00:20:14.700
to them as transgender females rather than as males. Again, that's the more accurate terminology,
00:20:21.040
and I think that it fully protects your client's legitimate interests. Referring to these individuals
00:20:25.120
as transgender females is consistent with science, common practice, and perhaps human decency. To refer
00:20:31.760
to them as males, period, is not accurate. Certainly not as accurate as I think it's needlessly
00:20:36.220
provocative. I don't think that you surrender any legitimate interest or position if you refer
00:20:40.480
to them as transgender females. That is what the case is about. This isn't a case involving males
00:20:45.000
who have decided that they want to run in girls' events. This is a case about girls who say that
00:20:50.560
transgender girls should not be allowed to run in girls' events. So going forward, we will not refer
00:20:54.820
to the proposed interveners as males. Understood? Okay. You can see why they want the judge to recuse
00:21:01.880
themselves. Because the whole point of the lawsuit, you idiot in a robe, the whole point, you moron,
00:21:15.880
is the whole case the plaintiffs are making is that the so-called trans girls are not female.
00:21:21.660
That's the point. That's the case you're presiding over.
00:21:25.300
If they're female, then there's no case. Okay? And if these girls are, and the lawyers are required
00:21:35.220
to pretend that boys are female, then they are not able to make their case. They have no language
00:21:40.900
with which to make their case. The case is gone. So this is madness. He says right there,
00:21:49.900
this isn't a case involving males who've decided they want to run in girls' events. That's exactly
00:21:54.200
what this case is. That's 100% what's going on here. So the judge presiding over the case is denying
00:22:02.040
what the case actually is. He's already issued his decision. He said, oh, they're females. Okay,
00:22:07.380
well, if they're females, then there goes that. But they're not females. Okay? They're not.
00:22:15.540
Not by the science. Not by common sense. And not by human decency. Because to deny common sense,
00:22:24.180
to deny science, to say things that are manifestly untrue, and on top of that, to force girls to
00:22:30.760
participate in this charade, and to take their medals and achievements away from them, none of that is
00:22:36.120
consistent with human decency. And the incredible thing is, this is what I'm always saying about this
00:22:43.940
issue. This judge, Robert Chitigny, I don't know anything about him. Okay? I don't know anything
00:22:50.580
about him. But he's a judge. I know that. So that tells me he's an adult, at least. And he's probably
00:22:59.040
on the older side as a judge. So I can pretty much guarantee that Chitigny has lived most of his life
00:23:08.920
knowing that boys are boys and girls are girls. Most of his life he has known and never questioned
00:23:16.300
the fact. You know, if I had talked to Robert Chitigny seven years ago, and I asked him, you know,
00:23:22.940
if a person has a penis, is that a boy or a girl? He would have said, he would have looked at me in a
00:23:28.940
very confused, confused way. And then he would have said, that's a boy. Okay? So he's lived his
00:23:33.760
whole life knowing this. And then at a certain point, he changed his mind along with a lot of
00:23:39.920
other people. They decided that, oh, you know what? No, no, no, never mind. Never mind. Actually,
00:23:44.160
actually, men can have babies. Girls can have penises. Yeah. You know what? It's like a, it's like a,
00:23:49.260
you know, you could take the parts off, swap them, switch them. People are like Mr. Potato Head dolls.
00:23:57.060
Now you just take off the different parts, swap them out. It doesn't matter. It makes no difference.
00:24:00.580
Parts don't matter. Biology doesn't matter. Chromosomes don't matter. DNA doesn't matter.
00:24:04.280
Reproductive organs don't matter. I mean, what does matter then? And then we go back to that
00:24:09.080
question. I mean, I still haven't got an answer to that question. What is a woman then? You tell me,
00:24:13.420
Robert Chitigny. Define, define female. Forget about define the word woman. Okay. Chitigny,
00:24:21.560
you say that these boys, uh, with, with XY chromosomes and, and, uh, penises, you say that
00:24:31.700
they are females. Okay. Define the word female. You big dummy. Define it. You can't.
00:24:42.900
I mean, you can, if I'd asked you five years ago, you could have offered me a definition,
00:24:48.360
but you know, that's a definition that would exclude these guys. So give me the new definition.
00:24:53.600
You've decided somehow living your whole life, knowing the truth. And then all of a sudden you
00:24:58.220
decided that these definitions don't work anymore. What's the new definition? And what was the
00:25:03.420
scientific discovery? What was the, the, the, the, the, the epiphany moment for you when you realize
00:25:08.540
that? Oh, you know what? Actually men can give birth. When did that happen? Did you read a
00:25:14.100
scientific study of some kind? Did you make a discovery in a laboratory? Can you tell us about
00:25:18.960
it? No, the point is that Chitigny and all the rest of these people, they are, the word coward
00:25:27.540
doesn't even come close to describing them. And that's why I just have no respect for this kind of cow.
00:25:34.940
I mean, cowards of this magnitude. I just have no respect for them at all. Nothing but scorn and
00:25:42.700
contempt. Can I heap upon them? You are such a coward that you have abandoned reality because
00:25:51.440
you're afraid of people yelling at you and calling you a transphobe. All right, let's move on to number
00:25:58.420
two. In fact, we might revisit this. I, now that I, now that I think about it, I could do a whole
00:26:03.720
monologue. Maybe we'll, we will revisit this in greater length later in the week. Okay, number
00:26:07.960
two, uh, Justin Trudeau, who's increasingly looking like a character from the Count of Monte Cristo
00:26:12.660
recently started a rather weird initiative. Uh, I can't quite figure this out, but watch this video
00:26:18.280
from Trudeau. Hey kids. I know we're all going through a difficult time right now and it's not made
00:26:24.360
any easier by the fact that you have to do your homework around the kitchen table. I think parents
00:26:30.200
across the country are discovering a new appreciation for the incredible work that teachers do.
00:26:36.200
Well, as a teacher, I want to help. If you've encountered challenges or problems that are
00:26:42.280
really tough and you need a little extra help with, why don't you reach out by responding to
00:26:47.320
this message or using the hashtag? My friends and I will be happy to try and help you out because
00:26:52.600
after all, the way we're going to get through this is by pulling together.
00:26:56.980
So the prime minister of Canada wants to help your kids do their homework. Why? Who knows?
00:27:05.380
And, and why would a child send a tweet to the prime minister of Canada rather than just like
00:27:10.740
asking his parents or even asking Google, you know?
00:27:17.140
Who knows? If I wanted to find something more sinister in this, I could, you know,
00:27:21.300
it's sort of my specialty anyway. And here the, it's rather obvious what the potentially sinister
00:27:27.300
element of it is that you have the government trying to step into your kitchen and perform the
00:27:31.780
basic duties, duties and functions of a parent. You have them trying to breed dependency of a child
00:27:37.460
on the state rather than on the parent. So I could interpret it that way. And that may be not totally
00:27:44.020
off base, but really mostly I think Trudeau is just kind of goofy. And, um, that's what
00:27:52.420
this is all about. Okay. Um, by the way, I did look up while that was playing. I looked up Robert
00:27:58.100
Shatigny just because I was curious and, uh, it said he's, I think 68 years old. So I'm guessing
00:28:06.020
that well into his sixties, he was quite sure that men have penises. Um, I, I'm guessing that.
00:28:14.580
Yeah. And I don't know, I could be wrong and I will eat my words if I am, but I'm thinking if I,
00:28:18.340
if I look back through his opinions and decisions and everything he said publicly, um, I'm not going
00:28:22.740
to find anything from him, certainly under the age of 60 of him, uh, uh, speculating that maybe
00:28:29.620
somebody with a penis can be a girl. I'm guessing that. So, and that's just, that just puts a, and
00:28:36.100
really, you know, I'm, I'm ranting and raving and calling him stupid and a dummy and all this.
00:28:40.180
And you might think, well, that's very insulting and mean. Um, actually I think it's quite generous,
00:28:45.300
quite generous because if you think this, I mean, if you think that a boy is actually,
00:28:50.980
uh, you know, can, is a female, you're either a very, very stupid person, very stupid or something
00:28:58.260
else. Talk about sinister or there's something more sinister going on where you know the truth,
00:29:04.020
but you're denying it even as a judge and trying to force this untruth, this falsehood, even on these
00:29:11.460
girls who are just trying to defend their basic rights. And that's, that's something a lot worse
00:29:16.820
than stupidity. Okay. Uh, number three, the AP issued some recommendations a few days ago,
00:29:22.100
updating us on the politically correct term for a woman who sleeps with a married man.
00:29:26.660
And, uh, here's what they said. They said, we now say not to use the archaic and sexist term
00:29:31.780
mistress for a woman in a long-term sexual relationship with and financially supported
00:29:35.700
by a man who was married to someone else. Instead, use an alternative like companion or lover
00:29:40.820
on first reference provide details later. And here we see, uh, we, we, we see how the goal
00:29:48.900
of politically correct language is always to obfuscate, right? Where the goal, the goal of
00:29:55.860
language generally is to communicate meaning. The goal of politically correct language is essentially
00:30:01.660
the opposite because normally we call a mistress, a mistress and not a companion or a lover. Because
00:30:06.900
first of all, companion and lover are both positive terms and decent people don't think of marital
00:30:12.740
affairs as positive things. And so we have a, we have a different word for it. But then also,
00:30:17.380
um, if you call a mistress, a lover or a companion, you're going to have to say more to explain what
00:30:24.500
you mean. And you're going to have to constantly add qualifications. Whereas the word mistress gets
00:30:30.260
the point across without all the extra baggage and confusion. And that's why we have different
00:30:35.460
words for different things. The idea is to get the point across in the least confusing way. And so
00:30:43.460
we say mistress, we know what you mean. We say companion or lover. I don't know. There's a lot
00:30:47.860
of really essential information that is not included in that phrase that now you're going to have to
00:30:52.100
explain. And every time the word comes up, you're going to have to qualify it in a certain way
00:30:55.700
so that it doesn't get confusing. Uh, but yeah, there's the AP. Number four, Yahoo News reports,
00:31:04.180
a top scientist who fell ill with COVID-19 has said the world will never return to normal unless
00:31:08.820
there is a coronavirus vaccine. Peter Piatt, director of the London School of Hygiene and
00:31:13.380
Tropical Medicine, spent a week in the hospital after contracting the virus in March. Um, the Belgian
00:31:18.420
virologist who led the joint, uh, United Nations program on HIV AIDS said climbing the flight of
00:31:24.740
stairs still leaves him breathless. Um, and, uh, anyway, he goes on to say that a vaccine is needed
00:31:31.700
for people to live normally. Again, my only point here is that, you know, we're hearing this more
00:31:36.100
and more. First of all, this is a massive shifting of the goalposts because before we were told it was
00:31:42.660
all about flattening the curve. We have done that. Now they're saying, nevermind. It's about waiting
00:31:47.060
until there's a vaccine. Uh, but second, this is a matter of choice. I mean, there is no requirement.
00:31:54.100
If you want to, if we all decided we wanted to get back to living our lives normally, we can live our
00:31:58.820
lives normally. Yes, there is the added threat of, uh, COVID-19, which, which is just added on to all
00:32:06.340
the other threats that come with living your life normally. And people are going to die just like
00:32:10.820
people die every day regardless. It doesn't mean it's not sad. It doesn't mean we don't take steps to
00:32:15.140
mitigate it, but, um, just living your life normally comes with certain risks anyway.
00:32:22.340
And so we're going to make the decision to start that and to start living or not, but it's totally
00:32:28.420
a matter of choice. Number five, finally, a restaurant, speaking of living your life normally,
00:32:34.900
a restaurant in Colorado called Castle Rocks CNC Coffee and Kitchen open for Mother's Day.
00:32:40.260
And this is what it looked like at that restaurant. Take a look at some of the footage here. People packed
00:32:43.540
in pretty tight. I only play this to make the point that, you know, when I look at the surveys
00:32:48.660
and I look at the polls, I'm told that people are still very afraid. And even if you open up all the
00:32:54.820
stuff, people aren't going to show up, uh, because they're too afraid. And I believe that there are
00:32:59.460
probably a large preponderance of people who are afraid and aren't going to show up. But
00:33:03.620
I don't know when we look at the experience of, of states that have started to reopen or, or, or some of
00:33:08.740
these companies that have defied the stay at home orders or the lockdown orders and have opened up
00:33:13.060
anyway. When we look at that anecdotally, it seems like there are a lot of people who are, if you open
00:33:21.620
up, you know, they will come like field of dreams. If you open, they will come. That seems to be the
00:33:26.420
case. So this argument that it doesn't matter, there's no reason to open because even if we do,
00:33:31.940
no one's going to show up that that's, that's not what you see in these kinds of videos. That's not
00:33:36.900
what I have observed just in my own experience. Uh, we were out, we were out for mother's day,
00:33:42.740
happy mother's day, by the way, to the ladies out there. Um, uh, we were out for mother's day
00:33:47.300
yesterday and we went to a, you know, a kind of a park area and there was a, there was an outdoor,
00:33:54.740
uh, there's a food, like kind of a food concession stand and, and, um, it was right next to the beach.
00:34:00.580
And there was a ton of people out. You know, there were a lot of businesses that were closed,
00:34:04.420
but people couldn't go to those businesses. But it seems to me, based on my experience, that
00:34:10.020
people are doing as much as they can to live their normal life.
00:34:14.580
And so I think if we open things up, um, businesses are going to find that there is
00:34:19.140
plenty of business out there. Uh, there are plenty of patrons out there who would like to come and
00:34:25.140
visit. Okay. Let's go to your daily cancellation. Uh, we put it up, put it off for long enough,
00:34:30.580
but we have to get to this. And before we do that,
00:34:37.300
before we do that, I'm stalling, not very well right now. We are offering you an incredible deal
00:34:43.060
for the first time ever. You can purchase the highly coveted leftist tears, Tumblr,
00:34:46.740
leftist tears, Tumblr will actually be, uh, or leftist tear actually will be shed for everyone.
00:34:52.180
Um, every one of the Tumblrs that's purchased, I'm botching this. Um, the, the whole point is
00:34:56.740
that you can buy a leftist tears, Tumblr. Okay. You don't have to actually become a member. You
00:35:00.100
can buy it. Daily wire members get many amazing benefits, including of course, the singular leftist
00:35:03.940
tears, Tumblr. You also get an ad free website experience, access to our live broadcast and show
00:35:08.500
library, the full three hours of the Ben Shapiro show access to the mailbag and now exclusive election
00:35:12.180
insight up op-eds from, uh, from Ben Shapiro. Daily wire members also get to ask us questions during
00:35:18.900
backstage and our all access members also get to participate in the all access live. Um, but
00:35:25.140
the leftist tears Tumblr now is not only, uh, uh, given to, to people in that category. Uh,
00:35:32.660
if you are one of the peons who is not a daily wire member, how dare you? Well, you can at least
00:35:36.740
buy it. It's available for purchase. This is the first time we've ever done something like this.
00:35:40.340
So you really want to take advantage before it's too late. All right.
00:35:43.700
I'll do better next time. I didn't get a lot of sleep last night. If you can't tell,
00:35:48.820
I have no idea anything I've said so far. I have no idea what I've said. It's all black.
00:35:52.820
It's I blacked out as I say it. So hopefully it went okay. Now for your daily cancellation,
00:35:57.460
we are canceling Kim Brooks of the New York times. Uh, she finds herself on the metaphorical chopping
00:36:02.980
block for this editorial in the times this weekend. Um, just in time for mother's day, the title is
00:36:08.820
forget pancakes, pay mothers, forget pancakes, pay mothers. Why pancakes? Anyway, um, that's the
00:36:19.060
weirdest false dichotomy I've ever heard. I don't want pancakes, pay mothers. I mean,
00:36:25.460
even if I agree that we should pay mothers, why can't we have pancakes too? I don't understand.
00:36:29.540
One lesson from the pandemic, childcare is work and it should be compensated. So, um,
00:36:35.940
miss basically miss, miss Brooks has found herself because of the lockdowns actually performing the
00:36:42.820
full-time duties of a mother, apparently for the first time. And after a few weeks of that experience,
00:36:48.420
she's decided that she needs to be paid for it. That's her revelation that she needs to be getting
00:36:52.980
paid to do this stuff. So let's read a little bit from this, uh, from this article. It says,
00:36:58.100
after just six days of sheltering in place, I found myself thinking about all the women I'd taken for
00:37:02.660
granted. I started with Griselda who cared for my kids when they were babies a few hours each week.
00:37:08.500
I thought about Beth and Perrine and every babysitter and cleaning lady I've ever used,
00:37:12.980
all the women I'd paid to come into my home over the past 13 years so that I could leave it and do
00:37:16.980
other things. Side note here. Um, I think that every child should have a nanny called Griselda,
00:37:23.140
or at least if, if you're going to get a nanny for your kid, she should be called Griselda.
00:37:28.500
Even if that's not her name, you should give her a new name, Griselda, which you can do with nannies.
00:37:33.700
You can call them whatever you want. They're the hired help. Okay. It says, if someone had asked me
00:37:39.860
why I paid these women to do things that I could do myself, particularly when I made so little money
00:37:44.900
with the time they freed up, I'd say that I did it because I wanted to work, because I needed to work,
00:37:49.460
not just out of economic necessity, but also out of a need to feel like a human being.
00:37:53.620
The implication here was that when I did the childcare and housework and cooking and laundry,
00:37:57.540
it was not work, but something else. Well, no, that's not the implication at all,
00:38:01.620
but we'll get to that in a second. Now, for the first time, um, everyone is doing the work we
00:38:07.620
don't call work when women do it. We watch Jimmy Fallon play with his daughters while filming the
00:38:12.020
tonight show and think maybe it's work after all. Another side note. If you're having any revelations at
00:38:18.260
all about parenthood from watching Jimmy Fallon, I don't know what to say aside from,
00:38:23.380
I feel bad for your kids, but a little later on, it says, I came close to applying to medical school,
00:38:28.500
but instead I had a, she's going into her background and blah, blah, blah. Um, uh,
00:38:32.020
so I was going to apply for medical school. Instead, I had a baby. Then another,
00:38:35.060
my children's father made enough to support us, but not enough to provide for the childcare we need
00:38:39.300
when I returned to school or take a full-time job. And so throughout my thirties,
00:38:42.820
I found myself largely occupied with keeping a home and raising my children. This work,
00:38:47.220
despite bringing joy and meaning to my life, shared many of the qualities of the menial jobs
00:38:51.540
I'd done before. But there was one important difference. The work I've done as a mother,
00:38:55.940
I've done for free. Now we get to the really unshocking part of this. Okay. The part that
00:39:00.660
you saw coming a mile away, get ready for this. You saw this come, you knew this was happening.
00:39:04.180
She says, I've been thinking about this a lot lately because when the pandemic exploded,
00:39:07.540
I happened to find myself in the middle of a divorce. I wouldn't recommend this timing.
00:39:12.420
You know, funny how that happens, right? A woman who thinks that she should be paid to perform
00:39:17.060
the basic duties of motherhood happens to find herself in the middle of a divorce. It seems that
00:39:22.740
this has a tendency to happen to selfish people, doesn't it? It just happens. It's not their fault,
00:39:27.860
it just happens. They're just walking along one day and boom, splat, they fall into a divorce.
00:39:32.820
Never saw it coming. Like a puddle on the sidewalk, they fall into a puddle of divorce.
00:39:37.380
Oh no, I look, look where I happened to find myself. How did this occur? I have no idea.
00:39:43.380
Because it couldn't possibly be that their own attitude and approach and their whole view of
00:39:48.100
and approach to life led them directly to this inevitable conclusion. Could it? No,
00:39:52.660
it couldn't be that. Okay. Well, uh, so, all right, we'll read a little bit more of this. She says,
00:39:58.020
um, and yet our entire economic system hinges on the willingness of women to do this work for free.
00:40:05.620
Caretakers who work outside the home are poorly paid, but those who care for their own kin in their
00:40:09.780
own homes aren't paid at all. They receive a wage of $0.00, no health insurance, no sick leave,
00:40:15.460
no paid time off, no 401k. For a long time, I tried not to think about it. One of the ways I was able to
00:40:20.740
not think about it was because I could pay other women to lighten my load. For the time being,
00:40:24.980
those days are over. Maybe that's for the best. Uh, in 2012, the Marxist feminist, Sylvia,
00:40:30.660
Sylvia Federici, you're also, that's, this is the other part of this. You're not surprised to hear
00:40:34.660
that she's quoting Marxist feminists published a collection of essays says, uh, revolution at
00:40:38.980
point zero housework, reproduction, and feminist struggle about a largely forgotten movement,
00:40:42.980
the campaign for wages for housework. Uh, Federici writes to say that we want wages for housework
00:40:48.340
is the first step toward refusing to do it. It's what makes invisible visible.
00:40:53.140
Um, she says, in other words, if garbage collectors and grocery store workers and hedge fund managers
00:41:01.700
expect to be paid for the labor, why not those who create and sustain the human race? Why can't we
00:41:05.940
imagine some form of universal basic caretaker income to support the work of mothers or fathers
00:41:10.980
or other extended kin to do at home? Um, okay, yada, yada, yada. You get the idea. So let's talk about
00:41:18.100
this for a minute. Why shouldn't mothers get paid? Well, the first answer I'd give is that they do
00:41:27.700
in some form. If a mother stays at home and has a working husband, then she gets by, then she gets,
00:41:33.380
uh, then, then she gets paid by the husband's employer, you know, indirectly, not directly,
00:41:39.700
but the effect is the same. So I would never say that I pay my wife to take care of our kids because
00:41:44.340
that would be demeaning as hell. And I'll get back to that in a minute, but all the money that I make
00:41:49.060
goes into a joint account and she has access to it and can use it and does whenever she wants.
00:41:54.020
So I don't think that's an issue. Working mothers get paid by their employers and most of the mothers
00:41:59.980
who neither work nor have working husbands get paid by the welfare system. So most mothers are getting
00:42:05.960
paid as far as I can see. Second point, what about the duties of fatherhood? You know, why are they
00:42:14.120
always left out of these discussions? So my wife does more cumulatively in terms of parenting and
00:42:19.480
household duties because I'm working during the day, but when I'm not working, I'm on the scene,
00:42:23.240
I'm helping, I'm doing things. So if we're paying mothers to be mothers, it seems only fair that we
00:42:27.400
pay fathers to be fathers. Yes, my employer pays me, but my employer pays me to be an employee.
00:42:33.200
When it comes to, um, the stuff that is specific to being a father, no one's paying me for that.
00:42:40.040
That's not fair. That's not fair. Someone has to pay me. Why am I doing this otherwise?
00:42:47.260
To paraphrase the article. Third point, who is going to make these payments?
00:42:53.320
The grocery store clerk you see gets paid by the grocery store. Simple enough. He, the clerk,
00:42:59.380
accepts the conditional responsibility of ringing up people's food purchased, uh, you know, the people's
00:43:05.500
food purchases for seven or eight hours a day in exchange for that, he gets X amount of money.
00:43:10.500
He agrees to that going in. If he doesn't like the job, he doesn't like to pay. He can quit and go
00:43:14.340
and strike. Um, but the system makes sense. Grocery store pays clerk with the money they get from the
00:43:21.960
customer. So I, as a customer in helping to pay the clerk salary, why am I doing that? Because the
00:43:27.240
clerk is helping me. And so it's a whole system that makes a lot of sense. People, it may not,
00:43:32.380
people may not always feel that it's fair for everyone involved, but it's, it's a, it's a, it's
00:43:35.600
a sensible system. We understand how that works. Who is supposed to be making these payments to
00:43:40.200
mothers? Well, of course we know the answer. I am and you through our taxes, right? That's what
00:43:47.220
we're talking about. So this money is supposed to come from the government, which means it's coming
00:43:51.940
from me partially. But, but here's the thing. And excuse me if this sounds harsh.
00:43:57.060
Why should I pay you to raise your own kids? That's not a service you're providing to me.
00:44:06.400
You check out my grocery, at the grocery store, you're providing me a service. By raising your
00:44:11.640
own kids, you're not providing me a service. Why would I pay you for that? Why would I pay you for
00:44:17.420
that any more than I would pay you to fix your own car? And by the way, um, what about the husbands
00:44:24.080
that work on their, their family car? I mean, I'm not the handiest guy, so I don't really do that,
00:44:27.660
but, uh, what about, there are plenty of husbands who do better men, men than me. Are we going to
00:44:33.520
pay them a mechanic salary? No, we don't. Why don't we? Because they're doing it for themselves.
00:44:38.020
It's not a service they're providing to society or to anybody. They're just, it's something
00:44:41.720
they're doing for their own sake, for the sake of their family. Um, and what's the other option?
00:44:48.440
If the court, if the clerk doesn't like what he's getting paid, he can quit. He can go on strike.
00:44:56.840
Is that the other option as a parent? You can go on strike, quit, leave your kids starving and
00:45:01.480
dirty and neglected. No, that's not an option. If you do that, we'll haul your butt to jail.
00:45:05.940
You'll go to jail for that. You're not going to go to jail. If you refuse to work as a clerk,
00:45:09.760
you might get fired. But somebody in your house has to care for your kids, or you have to hire
00:45:16.480
somebody who will. If you don't, you go to jail. Why? Again, because it's your duty. It's your
00:45:21.980
responsibility. Not conditionally, not contractually, but naturally. It is what society expects you to do,
00:45:28.840
demands that you do. It is what your children need you to do. We don't pay people to do that
00:45:35.720
kind of thing. That's really basic. Just like we don't pay you to put on your own pants in the morning.
00:45:42.580
It's quite the opposite. If you don't put on your pants in the morning and go outside,
00:45:47.440
then you might face some penalties for that. Again, why is that? Well, for the reasons that
00:45:54.600
I've given, but for another reason too. And see, this is the strange thing about feminists.
00:46:00.280
They tend to be skeptical of capitalism, but at the same time, they idolize it. They make a religion of
00:46:06.680
it. All at once. So while being skeptical of it and complaining about it, they also idolize it and
00:46:12.540
make a religion of it, which is the same thing they do of masculinity, by the way. They hate
00:46:16.600
masculinity. They denigrate masculinity. They also idolize masculinity, and they want nothing more than
00:46:21.800
to be men. But you look at it here, because these are people who think that a kind of work must be less
00:46:29.860
valuable, less important, less dignified if you aren't paid to do it. Like somehow the act of making
00:46:36.680
money, of profiting off of a thing, imbues it with dignity. Now, I would say the opposite is true.
00:46:43.600
I would say that the things we do for free, as it were, the things that we do because they are
00:46:47.980
natural duties, the things we do out of love and service to our family, those are far more dignified,
00:46:55.080
far more important. And they exist in a realm above and beyond the marketplace. I get paid for
00:47:02.220
the duties I perform at my job because it's merely a job. I don't get paid to go home and be a father
00:47:07.660
because that is my calling. That's my vocation. That's my identity. It is many things, but job is
00:47:12.980
not one of them. There is a difference between work and a job. Now, all jobs involve work, theoretically
00:47:19.660
speaking, but not all work is a job. Some work is above a job, is greater than job, transcends the
00:47:29.840
label of job. And that's the point. And that's why I say it's degrading. If I were to come home and
00:47:39.040
my wife has fed the kids for the day and cleaned the house and done all that stuff,
00:47:43.740
and I were to pull out my wallet and say, oh, nice job. Here's a hundred bucks.
00:47:50.620
That would be incredibly demeaning. People want recognition and gratitude for the things they do,
00:47:59.680
and we should give that to each other as spouses and within the family, but not in the form of cold,
00:48:05.560
hard cash. It's just like most of the time, the things that we do for love, as I said, are the
00:48:16.520
things that we do in fulfillment of our natural duties. Those are beyond the job, and they are
00:48:24.780
beyond being paid for. And you can't quantify it anyway. It's literally priceless work. There are a lot
00:48:37.900
of things you do at a job that's not priceless. We can put a price on that. The things you do for your
00:48:43.340
kid and your spouse, those are priceless. You can't put a price on it. And that's the whole point. All
00:48:47.680
right. So, um, that's why, uh, in fact, you know, because this is a distinction lost on modern people
00:48:55.220
generally, especially feminists, I think that's why I'm going to cancel. I'm just, I was going to
00:48:59.440
cancel just the author of this article, but I think instead I'm going to cancel all of modern society,
00:49:02.800
which, which I think probably covers everything. And maybe it's the last cancellation we need to do
00:49:08.180
because I'm just modern society is canceled. Although I'm going to keep doing them anyway,
00:49:11.640
because they're fun. We'll leave it there. Uh, thanks everybody for watching. Thanks for listening.
