YouTube begins a major censorship campaign as the media finally discovers that there might be something to the whole Hunter Biden story. Also, a Michigan Lawmaker makes death threats against Trump supporters, and Joe Biden announces his plans to make the military more diverse and inclusive. And today I must cancel, I m afraid, the Cartoon Network.
00:00:00.000Today on the Matt Wall Show, YouTube begins a major censorship campaign as the media finally
00:00:04.900discovers that there might be something to the whole Hunter Biden story. Of course,
00:00:09.040they make this discovery only after the election. Coincidentally, I'm sure. Also,
00:00:12.560five headlines, including a Michigan lawmaker making essentially death threats against Trump
00:00:16.720supporters. And Joe Biden announces his plans to make the military more diverse and inclusive.
00:00:23.280That'll help us if we end up in a war with China. And today I must cancel, I'm afraid,
00:00:27.000the Cartoon Network. All of that and more coming up today on the Matt Wall Show.
00:00:38.360You know, as we're all online this holiday season, you know, you're buying gifts,
00:00:43.660you're putting a lot of your financial information out there. It's never been more important to focus
00:00:48.120on protecting your online data. New research from threat intelligence firms reveals that cyber
00:00:54.520criminal groups are increasingly using ransomware and changing their tactics, techniques and
00:00:59.040procedures to widen the scope of their cyber attacks, which greatly expands their pool of
00:01:03.360victims. It's important just to understand how cyber crime and identity theft are affecting our
00:01:07.880lives. And this is just one of the ways, especially this holiday season, you know, where, like I said,
00:01:12.840you're online, you're putting your credit card information out there. You're, you know, giving
00:01:17.720more of your personal information maybe than you normally would. And but the problem is, if you're just
00:01:22.000monitoring your credit, checking bank statements, there are a lot of identity threats that you're
00:01:27.020going to miss. That's why you need LifeLock, which is the leader in identity theft protection. LifeLock

00:02:17.740Well, two things happened yesterday to further reveal what we already knew about big tech and
00:02:22.820big media and how they conspire to censor and manipulate the public. The first was a major
00:02:26.780announcement from YouTube. The company announced it would be removing any videos that allege
00:02:31.660widespread voter fraud. You're not allowed to go on YouTube and express the opinion that the
00:02:36.240election was stolen. YouTube has made an editorial decision, which it would have every right to do if
00:02:42.280it was a publisher. Publishers make editorial decisions all the time. The Daily Wire publishes lots of
00:02:47.680content every day. It can decide what sort of content it wants to publish, what sort of opinions or
00:02:52.760viewpoints it wants to put out there, what sorts of opinions it doesn't want to put out there.
00:02:56.320The problem is that YouTube, just like Facebook and Twitter, claims to be a platform, not a publisher.
00:03:02.500It claims that it is merely hosting the content, merely providing a home for people to post content.
00:03:10.760Its role is neutral, it says. That line has been clearly untenable for a while, but YouTube's
00:03:16.820announced decision yesterday completely blew their own previous rationalizations apart.
00:03:22.060I'll listen to this statement from YouTube announcing the policy and tell me if it doesn't
00:03:25.520sound exactly like a publisher explaining, you know, its editorial guidelines, essentially. Here's
00:03:31.600what it said. Quote, yesterday was the safe harbor deadline for the U.S. presidential election and
00:03:36.420enough states have certified their election results to determine a president-elect. Given that,
00:03:40.580we will start removing any piece of content uploaded today or anytime after that misleads people by
00:03:45.840alleging that widespread fraud or error changed the outcome of the 2020 U.S. presidential election
00:03:51.080in line with our approach towards historical U.S. presidential elections. For example, we will
00:03:55.560remove videos claiming that a presidential candidate won the election due to widespread software glitches
00:04:01.020or counting errors. We will begin enforcing this policy today and we'll ramp it up in the coming weeks.
00:04:06.800It doesn't matter what you think about the voter fraud question. The point is that some people have
00:04:11.660the opinion that the election was stolen, that there was fraud, etc. And if YouTube is a neutral
00:04:15.980platform, then they should be able to express that opinion on it. And it's not a neutral platform.
00:04:21.160And that is why you may have noticed YouTube has for the past four years played host to many,
00:04:27.620many videos alleging that Donald Trump stole the election in 2016, that he's not a legitimate
00:04:32.140president, that he's in cahoots with Russia and so on. I mean, they said this is in line with their
00:04:36.280historical approach to presidential elections. Oh, really? I went to YouTube before the show,
00:04:41.600searched, searched for just like two seconds. And I found this video on YouTube. Watch.
00:04:48.320I believe he knows he's an illegitimate president. He knows, he knows that there were a bunch of
00:04:56.120different reasons why the election turned out the way it did. And I take responsibility for those parts
00:05:01.800of it that I should. But Jane, it was like applying for a job and getting 66 million letters of
00:05:08.520recommendation and losing to a corrupt human tornado. And so I know that he knows that this wasn't on the
00:05:17.120level. I don't know that we'll ever know everything that happened. But clearly, we know a lot and are
00:05:22.100learning more every day. And history will probably sort it all out. So of course, he's obsessed with me.
00:05:26.840And I believe that it's a guilty conscience in so much as he has a conscience.
00:05:32.800A corrupt human tornado. If Donald Trump is a corrupt human tornado, then Hillary Clinton is
00:05:39.180the whole damn hurricane. So that's speaking of not having a conscience. But that sounds,
00:05:45.960what you just heard there, sounds an awful lot like Hillary Clinton alleging that Trump stole the
00:05:51.260election. If Trump is an illegitimate president, that would mean that he won the election by fraud of
00:05:56.740some kind. I mean, if he won the election legitimately, then he's a legitimate president.
00:06:01.340That's what Hillary Clinton is claiming here. It's what she's claimed repeatedly over the past
00:06:05.360four years. It's what the media has claimed. The Democrats have claimed. And yet their videos remain
00:06:09.940up. Their posts have not been taken down. They're not censored. So always remember this. Very few of
00:06:15.960the people currently wringing their hands about Trump undermining the integrity of our election
00:06:20.120by claiming fraud actually have the moral authority or credibility to be outraged about it.
00:06:26.120Almost all of them have been doing exactly the same thing relentlessly for years. And this is just
00:06:32.240one example of censorship and manipulation by big tech and big media to come out of yesterday. Here's
00:06:37.440the other. If you go to Google right now, type in the words Hunter Biden, an amazing thing will
00:06:42.580happen. Now you recall that up until this moment, if you typed in Hunter Biden, you would find mostly a
00:06:50.720bunch of articles from mainstream media sources telling us that all the stuff about Hunter Biden and Biden
00:06:57.800family corruption was a bunch of fake news. You find fact checkers debunking it. Articles explaining why the
00:07:04.900whole thing is really nothing at all. And if you went to Twitter or Facebook, you'd find not much about Hunter
00:07:09.940Biden at all because most of the subjects, you know, were most of the posts on that subject were taken down in the
00:07:16.580most massive and coordinated censorship campaign we'd ever seen up to that point. Now YouTube is
00:07:22.100going to try to give it a run for its money though. But now today, go to Google, type in Hunter Biden
00:07:27.200and you get tons of headlines posted just today or last night saying stuff like this. Here are some
00:07:33.080examples. Federal criminal investigation into Hunter Biden focuses on his business dealings in China.
00:07:39.580Justice Department's interests in Hunter Biden covered more than taxes. Joe Biden's son, Hunter Biden,
00:07:44.940under federal investigation for tax case. Hunter Biden tax affairs under federal investigation.
00:07:50.420Links to China funds emerge. Sources say Hunter Biden tax probe examining Chinese business dealings
00:07:56.520and on and on. Now, what happened? I'm old enough to remember four weeks ago when the Hunter Biden
00:08:03.880story was fake news. So fake that Twitter had to ban you if you talked about it. Now, here's what a CNN
00:08:10.640article, and they're one of the headlines I mentioned before, but a CNN article published this morning.
00:08:15.540This is what they, this is, this is their report. They say, quote, after going quiet in the months
00:08:19.920before the election, federal authorities are now actively investigating the business dealings of
00:08:23.760Hunter Biden, a person with knowledge of the probe said. His father, president-elect Joe Biden,
00:08:28.600is not implicated. Now that the election is over, the investigation is entering a new phase.
00:08:33.460Federal prosecutors in Delaware working with the IRS Criminal Investigation Agency and the FBI are taking overt
00:08:38.300steps, such as issuing subpoenas and seeking interviews. Activity in the investigation had gone,
00:08:43.180had gone covert in recent months due to Justice Department guidelines prohibiting overt actions
00:08:48.520that could affect an election, the person said. It then goes on to say, quote, investigators have been
00:08:52.900examining multiple financial issues, including whether Hunter Biden and his associates violated tax and
00:08:58.000money laundering laws in business dealings in foreign countries, principally China, according to two
00:09:03.000people briefed on the probe. Oh, so in other words, the original report from the New York Post,
00:09:08.220which was banned on Twitter and condemned or ignored by outlets like CNN, was correct.
00:09:14.060The Justice Department just didn't want to confirm it because they didn't want to affect an election,
00:09:19.880but they didn't want to affect it. How? With the truth? What they're telling us is that they were afraid
00:09:25.980the truth might influence our vote. So they decided not to tell us the truth. To me, that sounds an
00:09:32.600awful lot like affecting an election. If you're going to affect an election with the truth or not the
00:09:38.580truth, better to affect it with the truth. In fact, elections are supposed to be affected by the truth.
00:09:45.760Of course, with or without the Justice Department, though, the evidence of Hunter Biden's corruption was
00:09:50.060clear as day. The New York Post was trying to tell us about it. It's just that they were prevented from
00:09:54.880doing so. Sam Stein of the Daily Beast posted a link to an article today and writes, quote,
00:10:00.420evidence of a money laundering probe into Hunter Biden was apparent in the markings on a series of
00:10:05.680documents that were made public, but went largely unnoticed in the days leading up to the November
00:10:10.620election. Largely unnoticed, Sam? Huh. Why is that? You're in the news media. Isn't it your job to
00:10:19.780notice these things and make sure everyone else notices them? It's clear now, just as it was clear
00:10:26.120all along, that the Hunter Biden story is real, was always real. The corruption in the Biden family
00:10:30.920goes deep. But there was a conspiracy, yes, an actual conspiracy, to hide and cover up this
00:10:37.860information so as to ensure that Biden is elected. Now that the election is over, they'll let the floodgates
00:10:43.420open. No need to hold back the river now. They already got the guy they wanted.
00:10:46.880What the media and big tech have done here may not qualify as election fraud in the legal sense.
00:10:53.820And if it did, I guess I wouldn't be allowed to say it without this show getting removed from YouTube.
00:10:58.320But this is certainly a form of meddling, of interfering, of undermining our election.
00:11:03.580And this is the form of election interference that will be, I think, our biggest obstacle in the future.
00:11:09.020Forget about rigging ballots. They don't need to rig the ballots if they can first rig the
00:11:13.480dissemination and spread of information. If they can manipulate the public into filling out the
00:11:18.100ballots how they want, that's all they need to do. And that's their game now. And our republic will
00:11:25.280suffer because of it. Now let's get to our five headlines.
00:11:29.780Yes, by the way, earlier you may have picked up on it. As I was saying, Hunter Biden, I did. I did slip up and
00:11:41.740accidentally call him Humper Biden. That did happen. Make of that what you will. Let's go to number one.
00:11:50.940Michigan State Representative Cynthia Johnson has been stripped of her committee assignments for posting a video
00:11:57.500where she explicitly threatens violence against Trump supporters. Let's take a listen to that. Here it is.
00:12:02.600So this is just a warning to you Trumpers. Be careful. Walk lightly. We ain't playing with you. Enough of the shenanigans.
00:12:18.600Enough is enough. And for those of you who are soldiers, you know how to do it. Do it right. Be in order. Make them pay. I love y'all. Bye-bye.
00:12:40.220I like the I love y'all. Bye-bye at the end. Make them pay. Anyway, love you. Bye-bye. Talk to you later.
00:12:51.440Now she did post a follow up. Now that to me, I listened to that and sounds like she's calling on
00:12:57.880soldiers to make them pay. That being they being Trump supporters. Sounds like a call to violence to
00:13:03.520me. But she did post a follow up to that video where she tried to, I guess, clarify what she meant
00:13:10.980by soldiers. And here's the clarification. All you soldiers, soldiers of Christ, soldiers against racism,
00:13:23.000soldiers against misogyny, soldiers against domestic violence and domestic terrorism.
00:13:33.520soldiers, soldiers rise. It's time for you to rise.
00:13:39.980soldiers, soldiers for Christ, soldiers against racism, soldiers against misogyny, soldiers
00:13:59.980soldiers. For black and brown people who are being mistreated. Rise.
00:14:13.440Soldiers. Soldiers against hate. Soldiers against arthritis. Soldiers against head lice.
00:14:25.160We're just going through all the bad things that we have. That's what she meant by soldiers.
00:14:28.040So anyway, we can see from that video that it's, it's, this does actually, I think it does clarify
00:14:33.160things in that she's obviously insane. This is an insane person who's been, you know, I don't know
00:14:39.420how long she's been in the Michigan state legislature. I'm assuming she's probably been elected, you know,
00:14:45.84015 times. And, but she's just completely out of her mind. And the, the penalty is that she loses her
00:14:55.240committee assignments. That's gotta be nice. That's gotta be nice that, you know, you can blatantly call
00:15:01.880for violence. And the worst thing that happens is you lose your committee assignments.
00:15:05.180Uh, no, I think that we need more than committee assignments taken away. This to me is, she should
00:15:11.860go to jail for that. You're not allowed to do that. That's not free speech. You can't, you cannot
00:15:17.320openly, explicitly, uh, try to incite violence against the law, especially when you're elected
00:15:23.660leader somehow. So yeah, there should be criminal penalties that go beyond losing your committee
00:15:31.000assignments. It would seem to me. All right. Governor Cuomo, uh, doing his favorite thing
00:15:35.760yesterday, talking to the cameras called for a public education campaign to battle the scourge of
00:15:41.940vaccine skepticism. Here he is. First, we're going to have to have a real public education campaign to
00:15:47.920battle the skepticism. Uh, just think of the math on this. You have to get to 75% to 85% of the overall
00:15:56.360population vaccinated for the vaccine to be effective. 75% to 85%. 50% of the population
00:16:04.640says right now, they don't want to take the vaccine. Uh, they don't trust the approval process.
00:16:11.700Uh, they're worried about vaccines in general, but 50% are now saying they don't want to take
00:16:16.860the vaccine. You cannot get to 75% if 50% don't take it. That's, even I can do that math.
00:16:26.360Uh, so we're going to need a real public education to dispel the skepticism that already exists.
00:16:34.440Okay. So he wants to combat. He wants to battle the skepticism.
00:16:39.040Maybe he can call up some of us Cynthia Johnson's soldiers for that soldiers against skepticism.
00:16:46.100Um, but I would suggest that if he wants to deal with skepticism, the first person needs to talk to
00:16:52.700the first skeptic, uh, the first vaccine skeptic he needs to do battle with is himself. Here is
00:17:00.020Andrew Cuomo a few weeks ago, sounding rather skeptical, skeptical about the vaccine. Listen.
00:17:05.880Fauci last night said that he trusts the experts at the FDA, at the FDA. How confident are you
00:17:11.660in the approval process of the FDA right now?
00:17:14.040Well, first, uh, how confident am I? Uh, I'm not that confident, but my opinion doesn't matter.
00:17:21.300I don't believe the American people are that confident. You're going to say to the American
00:17:25.300people now, here's a vaccine. It was new. It was done quickly, but trust this federal administration
00:17:32.560and their health administration that it's safe. Uh, and, um, we're not a hundred percent sure of the
00:17:38.900consequences. I think it's going to be a very skeptical American public about taking the vaccine
00:17:44.400and they should be, and they should be, and they should be what an absolute fraud. This guy is
00:17:50.080absolutely. Oh my goodness. Um, they, that was a few weeks ago before the election. The, the, the,
00:17:59.500the, the, the public should be skeptical. He says, and now he's saying, well, we got to do something
00:18:03.860about all the skepticism that I was just encouraging 15 seconds ago. Um, and what, what does he say in
00:18:11.700that clip? What, what does he say that the skepticism should be tied to? Like what are the
00:18:15.460reasons why people should be skeptical? He said, because it's, it's, it's, it's, uh, it's being
00:18:21.620rushed. That's his words. It's being rushed. The vaccine's coming out so quickly. Reason to be
00:18:27.560skeptical about that according to him. And he also says that we should, um, our trust of the vaccine
00:18:33.840should hinge in large part on how much we trust the federal administration. Okay. And he trusts
00:18:42.700the Biden administration. He doesn't trust, trust Trump, but there's going to be 50% of the population
00:18:48.760at least who doesn't trust the Biden administration. And he's the one who said, you know, our trust for
00:18:55.860the vaccine should, uh, should be hinged on that. Now, speaking of vaccines, I don't know if this will
00:19:01.680get me labeled in the skeptic camp or not, but I did want to report since we're on the subject.
00:19:05.540And this seems important to me from the daily mail. This is what they're reporting for people who got
00:19:09.740Pfizer's coronavirus vaccine in the firm's trial developed Bell developed Bell's palsy, a form of
00:19:14.760temporary facial paralysis. According to us regulators, uh, who gave that report on the shot.
00:19:21.180FDA regulators said there wasn't any clear way that the vaccine caused Bell's palsy, but warned that
00:19:26.400doctors should watch for the alarming side effects and Pfizer should continue to keep tabs on how many
00:19:31.740people it strikes. No one knows what exactly causes Bell's palsy, which, uh, resolves on its own most of
00:19:38.540the time. There's just information I'm putting out there. Um, and this is why, as, as I've said all
00:19:46.520along, my, my own approach or my view of the coronavirus vaccine is read the information on it.
00:19:55.200Look at all the information, good and bad. Um, make a judgment based on that. Also make a judgment
00:20:01.020based on whether you're in a demographic or you feel like you need the vaccine. That's my, that's my
00:20:08.340view on it. If that means that 85% of people get it fine. If that means 50% do fine, people should be
00:20:15.540able to do what they want. And this is by the way, been my view of vaccines all along in general.
00:20:23.200I'm often asked, you know, what, what is, what's your position on vaccines? How do you feel about
00:20:28.320vaccines? I don't have a position on vaccines. It's kind of like asking me, um, what, what,
00:20:34.820what's your position on drugs on prescription drugs? I don't like all of them. I'm not against all
00:20:40.700them either. If you need a prescription drug and it's prescribed by a doctor who you trust and you
00:20:44.960really do need it. And you've, you know, you've done the research on it, then take it. Don't take
00:20:48.400it too much. Don't take any old drug that someone mentions to you. Uh, I feel the same way about
00:20:53.980vaccine. I'm not dogmatic about it. And that's how I think we should approach this. All right,
00:20:59.440let's, um, we'll stay on the COVID topic here. Joe Biden, again, revealing his, uh, masking plan.
00:21:07.680And he's already talked a little bit about this, but here he lays it out in, uh, with a little bit
00:21:11.500more detail. Uh, this is Joe Biden explaining his masking plan. Here it is. Watch. My first
00:21:17.120hundred days is going to require, I'm going to ask for a masking plan. Everyone for the first
00:21:23.940hundred days of my administration to wear a mask. It will start with my sign in order on day one to
00:21:29.520require masks where I can under the law, like federal buildings, interstate travel on planes,
00:21:36.380trains, and buses. I'll also be working with the governors and mayors to do the same in their
00:21:42.540states and their cities. We're going to require masks wherever possible. Okay. So there you go.
00:21:48.900A hundred days. That's his hundred day masking plan. Uh, I'll, I'll say two things about it. Number one,
00:21:54.160I look forward to ignoring it. Uh, I, I don't care what the president's, I appreciate him sharing his
00:21:59.860opinion on whether I should be wearing a mask. It doesn't really matter to me though. Um, he can,
00:22:04.200he can give me his opinion, but I don't respect the president's authority to tell me what I should
00:22:09.340be wearing on my face. I just don't. So I, I look forward to, uh, to, you know, listening to his
00:22:15.000ideas on that subject and probably ignoring them personally, but why a hundred days, you know,
00:22:22.600a hundred days of masking. Why, why that? Why a hundred days? We asked this before. Why not 105
00:22:28.820days? Why not 90 days? Why not 75? Why not a thousand? Why, where'd he come up with a hundred?
00:22:33.480Right. And we know that there've been a lot of just arbitrary numbers that have been pulled out.
00:22:38.220We all remember 15 days to slow the spread, which was really six months or seven or eight months,
00:22:42.020whatever, however, however many, uh, however long it's been at this point. But I think probably
00:22:47.800with a hundred days, it's, it's not entirely arbitrary. There is, there is a strategy behind it.
00:22:54.500You think about a hundred days from the inauguration, where does that get us? It gets us to what?
00:23:00.480Like may, right. Gets us into the spring. And we know that the coronavirus is seasonal,
00:23:05.920that it ebbs and flows with the seasons. We've got a surge right now. It's within the cold
00:23:11.440temperatures. It was, uh, it, it dipped during the, uh, the spring and summer. So the way he's got
00:23:17.280this set up is that a hundred days of masking at the end of that a hundred days, there is going to be
00:23:24.060a dip, a sizable dip in coronavirus cases because of the season. And we know that for sure,
00:23:31.440but he's, he's set it up so that when that comes seasonally, he can say, you see my 100 day plan
00:23:38.640save lives, even though there's no reason to think it will have anything to do with his a hundred day
00:23:43.380plan. So I think that's part of the strategy here. If I'm not giving him too much credit for being,
00:23:49.120for being clever, at least, if not also dishonest. Number four report from the New Yorker says
00:23:55.040several sources inside the Senate say Diane Feinstein, who's 87, struggles to remember
00:24:01.680briefings just after they take place and that her cognitive decline has been evident for several
00:24:06.480years. Oh, you know, no big deal. Just a high ranking center in cognitive decline, 87 years old.
00:24:14.060Um, I read this and I, and I, I just think what, it is crazy that we allow someone at the age of 87
00:24:23.540to hold elected office in any capacity, let alone at that high, uh, high of a level, 87 years old.
00:24:32.980You know, after 85, um, I think it's over 30% of people after the age of 85 develop, develop Alzheimer's.
00:24:42.04030%. So if you look at any average 87 year old, there's around a 30% chance that they have
00:24:49.320Alzheimer's. That's, that's nothing against older people. It's not an insult. There's just,
00:24:54.920this is where we're all headed because we are mortal beings and we're not going to live forever.
00:25:00.100And when you get to be in your eighties, you are towards the end of your life.
00:25:03.560And on average, the end of your life is going to come up pretty shortly. That's what, that's the
00:25:09.120situation we all are in, but there are just certain realities of being an older person. This is one of
00:25:14.940them that you start to lose your mental and physical capacities that will happen to everyone. If you
00:25:20.860don't die before, those are the two options. Um, it's, you know, that's what it is. Live long enough
00:25:28.100to lose your mind or die before that happens. Those are sort of like the two options we have as
00:25:32.140people. It's not great. It's pretty depressing, but that's, there it is. And yet we let people
00:25:39.200who are in this like red zone where, where, where, where lots of them are going to start losing their
00:25:43.900minds. We let them run for office. It's crazy to me. This is why I'm always, you know, we talk about
00:25:50.120term limits. Um, I think term limits are a good idea, but also age limits. There should be an age
00:25:56.820limit. Forget about term limits, age limits. How about this? This, this to me seems, seems reasonable.
00:26:04.56075 is the cutoff after 75, you cannot run for any federal office. So, right. And if we're talking
00:26:13.440about the presidency, you 35 is, is, is when you can start to run. So that gives you 40 years,
00:26:19.36035 to 75, that's 40 solid years to run. I think that's enough. I think that's enough of an allotment.
00:26:25.520If you can't do it in 40 years, that it wasn't for you. Uh, the same goes for the Senate Congress. I
00:26:31.460just, um, this, there's no good reason to have people in their eighties in public office. I don't
00:26:41.400see any good reason for it. Um, five, finally, Joe Biden has nominated Lloyd Austin as defense
00:26:48.960secretary. And here he is explaining his reasoning behind it. Listen, helping inform our efforts to
00:26:55.620ensure that our armed forces reflect the full strength and diversity of our nation, that black
00:27:01.560Latino, Asian American, native American, women, men, LGBT service members are treated with dignity and
00:27:09.180respect. You know, at a time when more than 40% of our act, more than listen, it's more than 40%
00:27:16.940of our active duty forces are people of color. It's long past time that the department's leadership
00:27:23.360reflects that diversity. Why, why should it reflect that diversity? Who cares? Who cares about the,
00:27:33.260the skin pigmentation of, of people who are leading the military or leading the department of defense.
00:27:40.940And in, in line with this, the, uh, us special operations command has a Twitter account and they
00:27:46.860tweeted today, um, sort of lining up with, uh, with Biden's priorities here. They said diversity and
00:27:52.820inclusion require action. It requires decisions and it requires leaders that must put themselves out
00:27:58.200there and must make purposeful decisions. This is a quoting from general Richard Clark, uh, commander,
00:28:04.920and he's speaking at some sort of conference. And then it ends with diversity strengthens.
00:28:10.940Does it though? How does diversity strengthen the military?
00:28:16.400You know, my view is the people who run the military people in, uh, in commanding positions
00:28:23.060should just be the people who are best for the job. I don't care what they look like. I don't
00:28:28.180care what's what their skin color is. Um, who cares? And it, it really does trouble me. I think
00:28:36.680it's a trouble all of us and scare all of us. When we get this kind of woke SJW nonsense from the
00:28:43.760military, we get it everywhere else in, in society, but we get it from the military. That's a problem
00:28:49.100because it seems to me that right now with the people running the military, our military,
00:28:55.060the American military, uh, their focus is on diversity, inclusion, tolerance while elsewhere
00:29:02.780in the world, like say probably in China, uh, they're focused on making sure their military
00:29:08.040is a killing machine, an efficient, thorough killing machine. And that concerns me about our
00:29:15.680prospects. The next time we're in a war with a real superpower, like say China,
00:29:20.200does anyone feel good about that? I mean, when you, when you, when you go out onto the battlefield
00:29:27.100against, uh, uh, a superpower, how does your tolerance and inclusion help you? Does it matter
00:29:35.820at all? Are we hoping the enemy will just be like impressed with it and they'll throw down their arms
00:29:40.340and give up surrender? I don't think that's going to happen. Um, so, but that's, uh, we've got, we've
00:29:49.020got Biden now has four years to, uh, to, to further, uh, really speed up this process of making the
00:29:57.560military more resemble, say, uh, you know, a gender studies class, a little concerned about that before
00:30:04.060we get our date to our daily cancellation today. You know, there's, there's, there's, there are a few
00:30:07.740things more important to your general health and wellbeing and happiness in life than getting a
00:30:12.640good night's sleep. Um, I can tell you for, for, for us, especially that we've got four kids. And
00:30:18.080if you're a parent with young kids, you've had a baby or something, you know, that you don't get to
00:30:22.780sleep a lot. So you've got to make use of the time. In fact, my kids, my, my, my two boys, uh, we moved
00:30:29.420to Tennessee and we moved an hour back. You know, we, we moved into a, just an hour back, um, because, uh,
00:30:36.000because we're in a different time zone now, my boys somehow still have not adjusted to that change.
00:30:40.760So they're getting up at like before dawn every single morning. And that's why, again, just when
00:30:46.300I'm sleeping, I've got to make, I've got to really sleep because I got to get that sleep time in. And
00:30:51.120that's why I'm so glad that I have my pillow. Uh, my pillow is just everything about my pillow. All of

00:33:10.180our daily cancellation. So today we're going to cancel, uh, the cartoon network. You know, some
00:33:19.280of you young kids don't remember this and probably can't imagine it, but there was a time when the
00:33:24.300cartoon network was a network that aired cartoons. This was back in the days when music television had
00:33:30.900music, the history channel had history, VH1 mostly played matchbox 20 videos. And you can watch all
00:33:36.860these things while sitting in your beanbag chair, in your JNCO shorts, sipping on high C or sunny D.
00:33:44.740Those were the days. Now though, everything in pop culture, just like everything in the broader
00:33:48.420culture must be dedicated first and foremost to preaching dogma, even the military, as we just
00:33:53.560discussed. It's all televangelism now, all the time, everywhere. And the religion being preached,
00:33:59.380of course, most of the time is leftism. Cartoons are no exception to this. If anything,
00:34:03.720cartoons have become especially preachy. It hasn't happened yet, but it seems only a matter of time
00:34:08.000until Mickey Mouse comes out as a non-binary genderqueer pansexual, releases a PSA to tell
00:34:14.220us about it. But in the meantime, we have the cast over at the cartoon network, bearing the crown as
00:34:18.940the most woke members of the animated community. The latest is an anti-racist PSA posted to the
00:34:24.860cartoon network's social media channels featuring something or someone called the crystal gems or
00:34:30.120crystal gem. I'm not sure what or who that is, but it doesn't matter. Here's the PSA, which,
00:34:35.360by the way, has been shared 25,000 times on Twitter alone. Here it is.
00:34:41.500All right, class. Can anyone tell me who invented the light bulb?
