The Matt Walsh Show - Ep. 550 - Cities Burn While Democrats Cheer

00:00:00.000 Today on the Matt Wall Show, rabid mobs continue to wreak havoc and destruction in Wisconsin and

00:00:04.680 elsewhere across the country, all with the explicit support, of course, of the Democrat

00:00:07.960 party. Nancy Pelosi said yesterday that Republicans are domestic enemies, but that label applies

00:00:13.760 much more to Democrats. Also, five headlines, including Jerry Falwell Jr. in a throuple,

00:00:19.100 allegedly. Incredibly important story here that we'll talk about. And in our daily cancellation,

00:00:23.160 I will cancel PhDs. All PhDs are canceled, and I'll explain why. But first, let me tell you

00:00:29.140 about Charity Mobile. New sponsors on the show that I'm very excited about. Charity Mobile is

00:00:33.560 the pro-life phone company, and they really earn that label. Listen to this. 5% of your monthly

00:00:38.460 plan price goes to the pro-life, pro-family charity of your choice. So you get to decide, which means

00:00:43.780 you get a great service, and you're also performing an active charity at the same time. And I should

00:00:47.840 emphasize that it is a great service. I use it myself. I couldn't be happier with it. New activations

00:00:53.040 and eligible accounts get a free cell phone with free activation and free shipping. So there are

00:00:57.220 all kinds of additional perks that come with this. And you could take those perks

00:01:01.980 while feeling good because you're helping a worthy cause at the same time. The most worthy cause,

00:01:08.080 of course, is the pro-life cause. Because if we aren't defending life, the dignity of life in this

00:01:12.540 country, if we don't start with that premise, then there's nowhere else to go from there. By the way,

00:01:17.020 no contracts, no termination fees, and no risk. There's a 30-day guarantee. And if you have any

00:01:21.140 issues, any problems, well, they've got live customer service based in the USA to help you out.

00:01:25.260 So they're there for you as well to help you. Here's what it comes down to for me. I can turn

00:01:30.600 everyday living into effortless giving for the charity of my choice. Best of all worlds,

00:01:35.980 classic win-win situation. So here's what you need to do. Call Charity Mobile at 1-877-474-3662,

00:01:44.380 or chat with us online at charitymobile.com. That's charitymobile.com. Okay.

00:01:50.160 So last night was another night of violence and anarchy in Kenosha, Wisconsin, as riders continue

00:01:57.180 to fight for human rights, tolerance, and equality through random destruction, as is their general

00:02:03.700 MO. You already know what this looks like, of course, because it's what Black Lives Matter has

00:02:08.400 been doing all over the country for months now, or really years. But I want to play a few of the clips

00:02:12.640 because I think it's important that people see this and keep seeing it for as long as it happens.

00:02:16.640 So first, here are the freedom fighters walking down a line of cars and vandalizing them one by one.

00:02:46.640 And here we have a furniture store set on fire in the name of justice, of course.

00:03:16.640 And then again, uh, you know, and this is all for justice and peace. Just want to emphasize,

00:03:26.100 want you to understand justice and peace. Here's a truck set on fire.

00:03:29.580 And then you can see other buildings, uh, set on fire as well.

00:03:43.380 Oh, and I think this is interesting. Um, this particular group of freedom fighters,

00:04:03.860 they really seem to have something against street lamps that they're knocking down all over the place.

00:04:07.520 And, you know, street lamps perpetuate systemic racism somehow. So it makes sense.

00:04:36.380 Now, all of this obviously was ostensibly sparked by the shooting of Jacob Blake,

00:04:40.760 who, uh, as we discussed yesterday was a fugitive wanted for domestic assault and sexual assault

00:04:46.080 with a history of resisting arrest and pulling guns. He was shot while cops tried to arrest him

00:04:50.920 because he went to his car, opened the door and reached inside. Uh, we still haven't been told,

00:04:55.060 you know, whether he had a gun in his car or not. There's a lot of unanswered questions though.

00:04:59.840 It doesn't really matter that much at the end of the day, because he gave cops very good reason

00:05:04.640 to think he was reaching for a gun, whether he had one or not. And if he wasn't reaching for a gun,

00:05:09.040 then his actions become completely impossible to understand. Not that reaching for a gun is

00:05:14.000 understandable either, but then if there was nothing there, what was he doing? And it would

00:05:17.340 seem almost to be like a suicide by cop situation. I'm not saying that was the case,

00:05:21.620 but I can't imagine why else you would behave that way in that situation. And while we're on the

00:05:26.980 subject, a new angle of the altercation is now making the rounds. It's difficult to see what's

00:05:31.420 happening here. Exactly. Except that you can tell that Blake is definitely fighting the cops.

00:05:35.760 Take a look. So like I said, hard to decipher the specifics, but this confirms for sure that he was

00:06:05.460 resisting and brawling with the cops. And then you went to his car while they had guns pointed at him.

00:06:12.280 There are different perspectives you can have on this case. And no matter your perspective,

00:06:17.080 there's still a lot we don't know. We don't know if Blake had a gun in the car. We don't know if he

00:06:20.860 was being arrested because of his warrants, which would mean the cops knew that he had a history of

00:06:25.300 resisting arrest and pulling guns on cops. That's very important to know. And we don't know that.

00:06:31.000 We don't know many things. But whatever your take on this, no honest person can claim that this is

00:06:36.740 some kind of racist execution. There's no reason to think that. Yet that is precisely what's being

00:06:42.180 claimed by the rioters and by Democrats at the highest levels of the party. We already talked

00:06:46.500 about the governor of Wisconsin yesterday, how he immediately, without any information,

00:06:50.700 tied this to racism and said essentially that it was a merciless execution, even though Jacob Blake

00:06:57.160 is still alive. The Biden campaign, for its part, put out a statement yesterday. Here's what it says.

00:07:03.260 Yesterday in Kenosha, Wisconsin, Jacob Blake was shot seven times in the bag as police attempted

00:07:07.000 to restrain him from getting into his car. His children watched from inside the car and bystanders

00:07:12.040 watched in disbelief. And this morning, the nation wakes up yet again with grief and outrage that yet

00:07:16.580 another black victim is a victim, a black, black American is a victim of excessive force. This calls for

00:07:21.520 immediate, full and transparent investigation and the officers must be held accountable. Notice how he calls for

00:07:26.480 an investigation only after passing a verdict that it was excessive force. So he says, here's what happened,

00:07:35.200 I've decided. Now we need an investigation to confirm what I just said. This is how Democrats operate. They pass the

00:07:42.160 verdict and then investigate to find evidence to support the verdict they already passed. If no such evidence is found,

00:07:48.620 they either disregard the evidence and continue along with their verdict anyway, their narrative, or they toss the

00:07:53.780 narrative aside and pretend it never happened. But Biden continues. He says, these shots pierce the soul

00:08:01.120 of our nation. Equal justice has not been real for black Americans and so many others. We are, we are at an

00:08:06.680 inflection point. We must dismantle systemic racism. It is the urgent task before us. We must fight to honor

00:08:13.200 the ideals laid in the original American promise, which we are yet to attain that all men and women are

00:08:18.820 created equal, but more importantly, that they must be treated equally. All of this, everything you just

00:08:26.880 heard, is at the very best, highly irresponsible and reckless. At worst, it is intentional, you know,

00:08:36.580 it intentionally encourages more rioting and destruction by propping up a false narrative that

00:08:41.120 has nothing at all to do with this case. And usually when it comes to Democrats, the at worst option is

00:08:47.020 correct. Which brings me finally, after a long setup, to the words of Nancy Pelosi. Many conservatives

00:08:52.460 yesterday were upset by what she had to say on MSNBC about her political opponents. But I'm not very

00:08:57.860 upset by it. And I'll tell you why. But first, listen to this. We take an oath to protect and defend the

00:09:04.120 Constitution from all enemies, foreign and domestic, and sadly, the domestic enemies to our voting system

00:09:11.180 and are honoring our Constitution right at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue with their allies in the

00:09:18.740 Congress of the United States. But again, let's just get out there and mobilize, organize, and not let the

00:09:27.380 president deter anybody from voting. And again, support the postal system, which is election central.

00:09:35.460 They're doing everything they can. Suppress the vote with your actions. Scare people, intimidate by

00:09:43.420 saying law enforcement will be there. Diminish the role of the postal system in all of this. It's

00:09:51.300 really actually shameful. Enemies of the state. Domestic enemies. Enemies of the state. That's what

00:09:59.360 Nancy Pelosi calls Republicans. Some Republicans were scandalized by this. Oh, the rhetoric.

00:10:05.980 What rude, such mean, the rhetoric is so hurtful to our feelings. The rhetoric. Well, get over it,

00:10:11.540 you whimpering sissies. Stop scolding them for being mean to you and throw it right back at them.

00:10:17.120 Because in fact, this is exactly how I feel about the Democrat Party. And in this case, it's true.

00:10:23.180 The Democrat Party is a domestic enemy. Enemies of the state. This is a party that is actively fueling,

00:10:28.840 encouraging, promoting, calling for violence and destruction in our streets. Many hundreds of

00:10:34.000 millions of dollars have been lost from the damage wrought by the crazed mobs that Democrats support.

00:10:39.020 Many dozens of people have been killed. And this is what they want. This is the rallying cry.

00:10:43.480 More unrest in the street is what Representative Ayanna Pressley asked for last week. She's comfortable.

00:10:48.900 She's safe. She's privileged. But she doesn't care if your house burns, your business, your livelihood.

00:10:54.980 If you're assaulted or killed by a rabid mob of racial avengers, she doesn't care. You're a political

00:11:00.740 pawn to her. Nothing more. Your life has no meaning to her. And the same is true of everyone else leading

00:11:06.140 this corrupt party of hustlers and liars. This is way beyond Democrats merely refusing to condemn the

00:11:13.420 violence. Of course, they have refused to condemn it. Four nights of the convention last week, and

00:11:17.740 not once did anyone breathe a word of criticism towards Antifa or BLM. Just like they didn't

00:11:22.960 condemn the BLM activists who beat a man unconscious, they aren't condemning anything that's happened in

00:11:28.340 Wisconsin or anywhere else. We know that. But it's a lot worse than that. It goes way beyond a failure

00:11:34.760 to condemn. It goes way beyond silence. They provide cover for the violence, thus facilitating it.

00:11:41.620 They want our cities to burn. They want racial strife. They want a race war. They want black

00:11:49.920 people to believe falsely that they are being hunted in the street by racist cops. They want

00:11:54.980 paranoia. They want fear. They want hatred, resentment, vengeance. This is a political party

00:12:00.880 without a soul, without a hint of any redeeming quality whatsoever, without a shred of integrity or

00:12:05.740 decency. And I don't say any of this as a way of propping up Republicans. The Republican Party is

00:12:09.720 useless and cowardly as far as I'm concerned, but the Democrat Party is morally deranged to a degree

00:12:14.720 that we have not seen in American politics in a very long time. It is an active threat to our system

00:12:20.200 of government, our way of life, our civilization. I'm sorry if this rhetoric is disturbing to you.

00:12:25.940 I'm sorry if it makes your tummy hurt a little when you hear it, but it's the truth. And we have to

00:12:30.880 start with square one here, which is recognizing and facing the truth, whatever it means and wherever it

00:12:38.060 leads. Let's go to five headlines. Before we get into five headlines, let me tell you about

00:12:48.540 ZipRecruiter, one of my favorite sponsors on the show. Hiring is challenging, especially with

00:12:53.580 everything else you've got going on these days. It's a difficult time to run a business, but

00:12:59.160 there's one place where you can go where hiring is simple, fast, and smart, and a place where businesses

00:13:04.300 can connect to qualified candidates. You get all that in one place. The place is ZipRecruiter.com

00:13:08.280 slash Walsh. ZipRecruiter, what they're going to do is they're going to send your job to over

00:13:11.780 a hundred of the web's leading job sites, but they don't stop there. Okay. So it's not just like

00:13:16.640 they're sending it out into the void and waiting for something to happen. With their powerful matching

00:13:20.640 technology, ZipRecruiter scans thousands of resumes to find people with the right experience,

00:13:25.620 and then actively invites them to apply for your job. So there's an active solicitation here going on

00:13:30.460 for job candidates. ZipRecruiter is so effective that four out of five employers who post on ZipRecruiter

00:13:34.860 get a quality candidate within the first day. You literally can't ask for better results than that.

00:13:42.780 And let's make it even better right now to try ZipRecruiter for free. My listeners can go to

00:13:48.500 ZipRecruiter.com slash Walsh. That's ZipRecruiter.com slash Walsh. W-A-L-S-H. ZipRecruiter.com

00:13:56.860 slash Walsh. ZipRecruiter, the smartest way to hire. Okay. The RNC happened last night,

00:14:01.960 as you might expect. I didn't watch, but based on the highlights after the fact, I say that

00:14:06.440 the best moment wasn't any address given by any politician, but instead the short remarks from

00:14:13.900 the McCloskeys. Now that's the married couple that stood outside their homes to defend it against

00:14:19.060 a mob that was descending on their neighborhood is now being prosecuted for that entirely legal

00:14:24.940 act, an act protected by the Second Amendment. And they were invited to deliver a message and I

00:14:32.460 thought it was short and to the point and pretty powerful. Listen. America is such a great country

00:14:37.380 that not only do you have the right to own a gun and use it to defend yourself, but thousands of

00:14:43.080 Americans will offer you free advice on how to use it. At least that's what we experienced.

00:14:48.600 What you saw happen to us could just as easily happen to any of you who are watching from quiet

00:14:53.820 neighborhoods around our country. And that's what we want to speak to you about tonight.

00:14:59.640 That's exactly right. Whether it's the defunding of police, ending cash bail so criminals can be

00:15:06.340 released back out on the streets the same day to riot again, or encouraging anarchy and chaos on our

00:15:13.660 streets. It seems as if the Democrats no longer view the government's job as protecting honest citizens

00:15:20.600 from criminals, but rather protecting criminals from honest citizens. Not a single person in the

00:15:28.100 out-of-control mob you saw at our house was charged with a crime. But you know who was? We were.

00:15:35.500 And those are exactly the kinds of messages that the Republican Party, I think, needs to amplify.

00:15:39.420 And so far at their convention, they are, which is great. It wasn't all smooth sailing, though. It seems

00:15:43.540 that a few of the speakers forgot that there was no audience, which is tough. Especially if you don't

00:15:51.060 do any public speaking, it might not be entirely obvious why it's so difficult, why there's an extra

00:15:57.800 challenge of not having an audience when you're giving a speech, because you just have to calibrate

00:16:01.460 things differently. It's an entirely different environment when you don't have an audience to

00:16:06.000 play off of, and you don't have the applause and everything. So I think some of the speakers forgot

00:16:10.840 that and went for the screaming, raucous pep rally speech, in spite of the fact that there was no

00:16:17.660 screaming, raucous pep rally audience there. Kimberly Guilfoyle, for example, turned the dial up to 11

00:16:25.260 for her speech, which normally I'm all in favor of, but it didn't quite work, given the crickets in

00:16:32.340 the background. Watch a clip of this.

00:16:34.220 Ladies and gentlemen, leaders and fighters for freedom and liberty and the American dream,

00:16:41.800 the best is yet to come.

00:16:45.820 That's rough. It's pretty hilarious, actually, in a really uncomfortable The Office sort of way. In

00:16:52.260 fact, it reminds me of that scene. I don't know if you're an Office fan. You must have thought

00:16:56.680 immediately the same thing I did, which is the scene of Dwight at the salesman convention getting

00:17:01.800 his award. Really, there's major vibes of that going on. But the effect is, it's like if you went

00:17:10.240 back, watching a speech without an audience, it's like if you went back and watched an episode of

00:17:15.560 King of Queens without the laugh track. So it's a scene where Kevin James gets caught eating from

00:17:24.460 the jar of mayonnaise or whatever, and then his wife berates him and verbally abuses him for three

00:17:28.620 minutes. A scene like that, without the cue of the crowd laughing, would be like depressing and

00:17:36.200 disturbing. And it would make you want to call the police about about the domestic abuse. But with

00:17:42.740 the crowd telling you this is funny laugh, it has a whole different flavor to it. So same here with

00:17:47.400 the convention speeches. You don't realize how important the psychological cues of the crowd

00:17:52.320 are until you don't have it. So we are sheep is what I'm trying to tell you. We react to things

00:17:57.300 emotionally based on how other people are reacting. They tell us how we're supposed to react and then

00:18:02.440 we react that way. Okay, number two, a guy named Giancarlo Granda says that he has been in a throuple

00:18:10.280 sort of with Jerry Falwell Jr. and his wife for many years now. He's also a business partner of

00:18:15.240 Falwell's to make things weirder and to make them even weirder from what I understand. The business

00:18:21.340 partnership started after the throuple business. Not that it would be much better if it was before,

00:18:26.760 but I don't know. It's just weird. Like you're in this kind of arrangement and then you decide to

00:18:33.200 start a business together. So he says the couple met him when he was a pool boy. Really? Actually

00:18:40.000 a pool boy. And then he soon started a relationship with Falwell's wife and then Falwell will watch

00:18:47.640 as they're involved in their activities, as he's involved in an activity. When I say in an activity,

00:18:56.100 I don't mean playing Monopoly. Okay, you get my drift. But he's involved in that with the wife

00:19:01.440 and then Falwell will watch. So Falwell's literal cuckold if this is true. Now the board of directors

00:19:07.700 at Liberty have asked Falwell to resign. He originally said he was going to and then said he wasn't. But now

00:19:14.060 from what I understand, he really is resigning. And this is all coming on the heels of that picture

00:19:20.220 of him with his pants unbuttoned on the yacht with the young woman. And then if you recall,

00:19:26.960 he called into a radio show to explain it. And he really seemed to be drunk or out of it in some way

00:19:32.020 when he was on the radio show. So it's been one humiliating episode after another. And normally I

00:19:36.380 would say that this is salacious gossip. It's irrelevant. Who cares? And that's still how I feel.

00:19:44.000 I don't care that much. But the problem here is that Falwell is, was, a powerful Christian leader,

00:19:52.740 quote unquote Christian leader. Big scare quotes on that. And he made millions of dollars by cultivating

00:19:58.680 that brand and selling it to the public and convincing people to send their kids to his school.

00:20:05.840 A school where, by the way, many kids have been expelled for doing exactly the kinds of things that

00:20:11.400 he was apparently doing all the time in his private life. If you do that and then it turns

00:20:18.340 out that you're a degenerate weirdo, well, then your degeneracy is news. And that's really your

00:20:24.400 fault. I don't feel at all sorry for you. You profited off of cultivating a brand that was

00:20:29.300 completely false. And you treated your faith like a brand, made a lot of money off of it,

00:20:33.000 and now you're exposed. That's your fault. And personally, I'm so damn tired of quote unquote

00:20:39.640 Christian leaders turning out to be scumbags that I just, I have no sympathy for them. No appetite to

00:20:45.480 defend them. Not that I would defend them anyway, but I, you know, just, uh, you want to mock them

00:20:51.120 and laugh at them. Go ahead. Really? They deserve it. I'm so tired of this. Uh, I'm not surprised by it.

00:20:57.220 That's sort of my point. I wish I was surprised. I wish I was surprised that someone like Jerry

00:21:02.680 Falwell Jr. Is this not at all. None of us are. It's what we come to expect.

00:21:09.720 And it really shouldn't be that way. Um, all right, let's go to number three. Here's an

00:21:15.000 interesting video. It appears that black lives matter scumbags were marching through DC. I think

00:21:20.060 it was, it's the claim online is that it's D I'm not sure what city this is, but they were apparently

00:21:25.100 demanding that people at, uh, the restaurant that you're about to see here raise their fists for

00:21:30.140 black power. And one brave couple refuses to act like a train seal responding to commands. And

00:21:36.400 this is what happened because of that.

00:21:39.440 Yes, be that couple. That's the couple you should be. Uh, those are brave people who retain their

00:21:44.480 dignity. Now, personally, I would have loved to see them raise the fist.

00:21:52.520 Yes. Be that couple. That's the couple you should be. Uh, those are brave people who retain their

00:22:09.540 dignity. Now, personally, I would have loved to see them raise the fist and then slowly turn it

00:22:16.280 around and raise the middle finger. You know, I, I would have, that would have been fun if they had

00:22:21.460 done that, but this was good too. So be them, do not be the embarrassing mustachioed coward to the

00:22:30.940 right, who you probably noticed, uh, with sitting there with his fist up, you know, and just that look

00:22:36.360 of total shame on his face. How, how do you live with yourself after that? You've got this mob of,

00:22:44.640 of scumbags just shouting at you, telling you to, to bark on command like a dog and you actually do it.

00:22:55.640 And it's on film. I mean, how do you live with that? Totally embarrassing. He's given up his dignity

00:23:01.120 forever. Um, and it's, it's really not worth it. So good for that couple. And that's how

00:23:06.100 everybody should respond. I mean, it really doesn't matter. It doesn't matter what they tell

00:23:10.220 you to do. You got to this, this, this, uh, you know, mob of bullies coming back and say, Hey,

00:23:14.660 do this, do perform this act right now because I told you to, I don't care what it is. You should

00:23:20.340 refuse to do it on the principle of it. Oh, well, who, who do you think you are? I've not got to

00:23:25.980 listen to it. Why, why should I listen to you? Why, why? I don't care at all what your opinion is

00:23:32.240 of me. All right. Very important report here from the New York post. Uh, it says while older

00:23:38.700 texters may consider the period, uh, in, in, in innocent symbol that a sentence has ended,

00:23:45.200 digital natives consider it a triggering form of aggression. The punctuation problem ignited over

00:23:50.140 social media recently with Gen Z and millennials agreeing that ending a sentence with a period is

00:23:54.820 overly hostile and worse yet, extremely uncool, um, digital culture journalist, Victoria Turk and

00:24:01.400 her book kill reply all it's a book on digital etiquette. So you go pick that up said only

00:24:06.800 old people are troubled souls, put periods at the end of every sentence, the younger generations

00:24:10.860 consider the act of sending a text, a sufficient signifier of a complete thought Turk wrote, making

00:24:16.580 periods feel unnecessary and overly final. Um, okay. And it's a long, it goes on from there. We could

00:24:23.560 keep reading, but I won't, I just have to say, you know, I can just sum it up. I'm in, I'm actually

00:24:27.500 in full agreement with this. Um, and I thought this was common knowledge that periods in a, in a,

00:24:36.380 in a paragraph or a series of sentences are fine. Of course, very much advised in that case,

00:24:42.580 but a period after one word or one sentence and then sent via text messages or message or email

00:24:49.120 is passive aggressive. Um, and this is simply a fact. I thought everyone knew that. And since

00:24:56.620 we're canceling punctuation marks, I would also like to throw in speaking of aggressive punctuation

00:25:00.780 marks, the exclamation point, I think also deserves to be on the ash heap of history.

00:25:05.500 Exclamation points are almost never necessary. If you want to communicate enthusiasm, you're excited

00:25:12.240 about something, you should be able to do that via the words you're typing. You should be able to

00:25:17.400 express yourself in a way that makes your enthusiasm clear without needing the exclamation

00:25:22.220 point. And this is especially true of men. Okay. It's women can get away with exclamation points.

00:25:30.040 Children can get away with excellent. If you're a grown man, you should never be using an exclamation

00:25:33.820 point except sarcastically or ironically. Those are pretty much the only times where it's acceptable.

00:25:41.160 Speaking of dignity, no grown man can keep his dignity while sending an exclamation point.

00:25:46.120 And that is also just a simple fact. Five. Finally, another thing, um, here that gets my full

00:25:50.580 endorsement and agreement report from sky news. It says KFC will suspend its finger licking good

00:25:56.680 slogan after 64 years because it doesn't quite fit with coronavirus hygiene messaging. The U S fried

00:26:02.280 chicken chain has released new images of advertising posters and packaging with the slogan blurred and

00:26:07.300 pixelated. It says Colonel Sanders is a, it's finger licking good saying we'll return when the time is

00:26:13.080 right, but we'll alter its messaging for now. Uh, because they're, you know, they're worried about

00:26:18.040 the coronavirus. This is good and responsible. I'm, I'm on board with it and it has nothing to do with

00:26:24.340 coronavirus for me. Just in general, people who lick their fingers after eating are disgusting

00:26:31.440 savages unfit for human society. It may in fact be the number one most nauseating personal habit a person

00:26:38.680 can possibly have. It's, it's barbaric. And the worst thing is how many people after licking their

00:26:48.260 fingers actually go and wash their hands. Their fingers are now covered in their own slobber. How

00:26:54.900 many of those people are going to wash their hands? Very few of them because they think their saliva is

00:27:00.580 sufficient. They're like cats thinking they can clean themselves with their own tongues. I hate to see

00:27:06.520 how they clean the rest of their bodies. I don't know if they're like in the shower with the shower

00:27:09.620 turned off, spitting on themselves, washing in the mucus with a, with a loofah. I don't know.

00:27:16.560 But this, just to be clear, we are human beings. Our saliva is not sterile. Okay. It has all kinds

00:27:22.620 of germs in it. It's completely disgusting. We have invented, you know, we, we live in a civilized

00:27:28.420 world. We have running water in faucets wherever you are. There's probably one nearby, even if you don't

00:27:34.440 have access to a faucet, there's still no excuse to lick your fingers. So I'm, I'm, uh, this has been

00:27:42.780 my, I've, I've been boycotting KFC really for, for years just because of this slogan. I think it's

00:27:49.520 the most offensive slogan from, from any company and I'm glad that they're finally getting rid of it.

00:27:52.960 Okay. Um, now let's get to our, speaking of offensive, we'll get to our daily cancellation

00:27:58.180 today for our daily cancellation. I'm canceling PhDs and I'll explain why. Uh, this starts, uh,

00:28:03.980 recently a PhD expert scolded me on Twitter for my objectionable opinions on gender and other

00:28:10.100 related topics. You know, I'd made the argument as I made on the show that one of the primary

00:28:14.000 tools used to sexualize children in our culture is trans indoctrination. And because of that,

00:28:19.620 Dr. Logan Levkov swooped in to expose and annihilate my transphobia with these scorching rays of her

00:28:26.300 superior education and intellect, uh, she countered that quote, the primary tool in our culture used

00:28:31.980 to create fear and hate about gender identity is Matt Walsh, which is a flattering claim by the way,

00:28:36.700 that sadly I can't possibly live up to though. I wish I could. Uh, and she reminded the reader that

00:28:40.780 I am not an expert in gender or sexuality and therefore nobody should listen to me. She is an

00:28:45.260 expert though, or at least that's the title she's given to herself. Uh, her bio on her website informs us

00:28:50.440 that she is a sex educator, a quote, internationally recognized expert on sexuality and relationships and a

00:28:55.860 quote, thought leader in the field of human sexuality and personal relationships. On top of

00:29:00.020 all that, she's incredibly humble. Now, as an uneducated bumpkin myself with only a high school

00:29:05.460 diploma to my name, um, I sense an opportunity here to be educated. So I sat down at my computer

00:29:10.420 in my tattered dungarees with a piece of straw hanging out of my mouth. This is how she probably

00:29:15.180 imagined the scene anyway. And, uh, I asked the good, the good doctor, the question that I had been

00:29:20.000 posing to proponents of left-wing gender theory for years now. What is a woman? That's my

00:29:25.780 classic question. You've heard it from me many times. I've not been able to extract a coherent

00:29:29.400 response from anyone on the left, no matter how often I try. But I figured that if anyone could

00:29:34.140 rise to the challenge, it would be a PhD who is recognized internationally as an expert in the

00:29:40.540 field of knowing what gender is. So her first answer to the question was kind of disappointing

00:29:45.560 though. She said, quote, gender is a social construct. Womanhood or manhood is not defined by

00:29:50.380 reproductive organs or genitals. Assigned sex at birth is also not a binary. And sexual orientation

00:29:55.980 is not the same as gender identity. It's fairly simple and you're welcome. Now there are a lot

00:30:01.040 of problems here, beginning with the fact that she didn't define the word. She didn't answer the

00:30:04.080 question. Instead, she offered up a whole bunch of additional vague concepts that need their own

00:30:08.440 definitions. What does she mean by assigned sex? Who is the sex assigner? God? Nature? Surely she must know

00:30:16.820 that doctors at the hospital don't assign sex. It's not as though they're pulling babies out of the

00:30:21.160 womb and randomly attaching boy or girl genitals to them like potato head dolls. Doctors notice or

00:30:28.560 observe the sex. They don't assign it. She also gives the classic gender is a social construct

00:30:34.740 canard. Now I call that a classic, but we should note that it's a very new classic. Prior to the

00:30:39.360 arbitrary invention of gender as a human identity, which is a concept largely pioneered, by the way,

00:30:45.460 by a pedophilic quack named John Money, who tried out these theories on two young boys who later went

00:30:52.040 on to kill themselves. But that's a story that deserves more of a focus than I can give it right

00:30:55.700 now. Prior to any of that, gender was a grammatical category. Words had gender. People had sex.

00:31:05.600 We are now told that people have both sex and gender. But the people telling us that have never

00:31:11.240 quite been able to explain how the two are different and why we need both concepts. Plus,

00:31:16.720 as I've argued many times, the false sex versus gender dichotomy contradicts the trans narrative

00:31:21.280 as invariably, it's a child's affinity to the gender constructs of the other sex that is cited

00:31:26.520 as a reason to transition them to that sex in the first place. But if the constructs are artificial,

00:31:31.000 then why assume that a child's identifying with them has any deeper meaning at all? In other words,

00:31:35.020 why can't he just be a feminine boy? You know, feminine by society standards boy. Are we not

00:31:41.180 reinforcing the constructs by insisting that feminine boys are actually girls because only girls can be

00:31:46.380 feminine? This answer from our expert simply doesn't work on any level, unfortunately. So I,

00:31:53.140 you know, I asked again and she tried again. A few minutes later, after consulting with her expert

00:31:58.720 level PhD books, she said, what is a woman? Anything she wants to be. This is about the caliber of

00:32:06.740 insight that I might expect from a fortune cookie. And they give you fortune cookies for free with your

00:32:11.340 order of Kung Pao chicken. I really hate to think how much Dr. Logan spent on university courses in

00:32:17.000 order to attain a similar level of enlightenment. So that's kind of disturbing. Needless to say,

00:32:22.660 anything she wants to be cannot be a valid definition for the word woman. Definitions are

00:32:29.680 supposed to tell you what a thing is. This definition tells me almost nothing about women,

00:32:35.920 except that apparently they're shapeshifters, which is an interesting fact, no doubt, but I don't feel

00:32:40.860 that I'm much closer to understanding the concept of womanhood fundamentally. So, you know, I had to,

00:32:47.140 I had to press further. And finally, our sex and gender expert made one more attempt and

00:32:52.420 offer this up as a definition. She says, I was giving you more info than you asked for because

00:32:57.300 you clearly didn't know the difference between assigned sex and birth and gender. Obviously,

00:33:01.220 that was too complex for you. A woman is someone who identifies as female. Female identity and female

00:33:07.980 assignment may be different. Okay, now we're getting somewhere. Or are we? Let's break this down a little

00:33:16.060 bit. A woman is someone who identifies as female. Let's try to understand this. What is a female?

00:33:23.700 Well, female is someone with two X chromosomes and a vagina and a uterus. Okay. What does identify as

00:33:30.780 mean? Well, that can mean any number of things. Identify could mean recognize or observe. You know,

00:33:36.020 we say that a witness may identify the suspect, meaning, hey, that guy, that's the guy. I recognize him.

00:33:41.740 Is this what identify as female means? Women are people who recognize that they have two X chromosomes?

00:33:48.900 And that can't be it because obviously males can't recognize two X chromosomes within themselves

00:33:52.920 because they don't have them. And what about women who have them but don't recognize them? Are they not

00:33:56.920 women? So that doesn't work. Now, dictionary.com has another definition that might be, might help us a

00:34:02.380 little bit more. It says, it says, identify can also be a verb meaning to associate oneself in feeling,

00:34:09.640 interest, action, et cetera, with a specified group or belief system. Okay. Now, this seems to be what

00:34:16.760 we're talking about, right? But a number of problems present themselves. First of all, how can you

00:34:21.340 associate yourself in feeling an interest with a certain set of chromosomes? And even if you can,

00:34:28.100 is there not obviously a difference between the group that has the chromosomes and the group that

00:34:33.740 identifies with the group that has it? If identifies as denotes anything, then it must by definition

00:34:39.900 denote that there is a difference between those who have or those who are and those who identify as.

00:34:48.020 And if there is no difference, then why do we even need this identify as business at all?

00:34:53.220 Why do we need the prefix trans? So it seems we're left with women who are females by definition,

00:34:59.940 and then this other group who are men, some of whom have some kind of hazy, ill-defined,

00:35:07.040 vague affinity for some aspects of what our culture considers feminine. Now, you can call that latter

00:35:12.640 group whatever you want or whatever they want, except you cannot call them women because women are

00:35:17.860 precisely the group they identify with, which means they are not in it, but outside it and identifying

00:35:23.180 with it. So this definition doesn't work either. Women cannot by definition be both females and not

00:35:29.480 females. Given that male and female are only two options, if women are females or males, then women

00:35:35.200 aren't anything in particular, and we're back to not having a definition. The good doctor, after

00:35:39.900 hundreds of thousands of dollars spent on her education and so many years as an expert traveling

00:35:43.820 the globe to deliver her expertise and educate everybody and pass on her wisdom, apparently still

00:35:50.700 doesn't have an understanding on the topic of gender that rises even to the level of my

00:35:54.140 seven-year-old son. And this is why we're canceling PhDs. You're still allowed to get one if you want.

00:36:00.680 I will permit it in my generosity. But just know that getting a whole bunch of certificates and calling

00:36:06.640 yourself an expert doesn't make you one. In fact, in this country today, you can be a certified expert

00:36:13.420 in a field without knowing the first damn thing about it. What we find is that for some people,

00:36:19.420 the process of education is a process of finding long and windy and tortured ways around facts

00:36:25.880 and truth. Many of our experts are experts at sounding smart while being stupid, in other words.

00:36:32.460 And that's because the process of learning won't amount to actual knowledge if you're not learning

00:36:37.440 with the intent of pursuing truth. Much of the learning that goes on in our country, especially in the

00:36:42.280 higher institutions, is learning ways around truth, not ways to it. And that's how you end up with

00:36:48.800 legions of experts who are essentially large grapefruits with wigs and faces drawn on in

00:36:53.760 Sharpie. At least they are comparable to grapefruits when it comes to their depth of real knowledge and

00:36:58.320 understanding. And so PhDs are canceled. The good doctor is canceled. And just for good measure,

00:37:06.520 I'm also going to cancel everyone who calls themselves a doctor when they're not medical

00:37:09.820 doctors. Because, come on, you know, we all know that's pretty lame. So stop that too.

00:37:14.620 Everyone there is canceled. And I guess we'll leave it there for today.

00:37:19.180 Thanks for watching, everybody. Thanks for listening. Have a great day. Godspeed.
