Today on the Matt Walsh Show, a conservative actress is fired by Disney after outrage over
00:00:04.040
her anti-Semitic quote-unquote and supposedly offensive posts, but her posts were neither
00:00:08.300
anti-Semitic nor offensive. We'll talk about the real reason she got the ax. Also, five headlines
00:00:12.780
including the CDC's new endorsement of double masking and the Biden administration announces
00:00:16.480
plans to get schools back open, half of the schools, one day a week. Is that enough? And in
00:00:21.000
our daily cancellation, we will discuss the crucial differences between breastfeeding and
00:00:24.900
chest feeding. All of that and much more today on the Matt Walsh Show.
00:00:30.000
Well, we're about to talk about a company that does not share our values as conservatives,
00:00:41.260
and there are a lot of those companies. Now, they're probably companies that you support,
00:00:44.500
whether you know it or not. And that's why it's so important, at least, to balance things out by
00:00:49.840
supporting the companies that support us and our values. And I'll give you one, top of the list,
00:00:55.320
Charity Mobile. One company that fits the description of one that supports our values is Charity Mobile,
00:00:59.900
the pro-life phone company. 5% of your monthly plan price goes to be pro-life, pro-family charity of
00:01:05.080
your choice. New activations and eligible accounts get a free cell phone with free activation and free
00:01:09.000
shipping. Plus, there's no contracts, there's no termination fees, there's no risk with a 30-day
00:01:12.840
guarantee. What all that means is that you might as well, you know, you might as well give it a try.
00:01:17.180
You might as well try it out. There's no risk for you. You got nothing to lose. And at the same time,
00:01:22.320
you're also going to get live customer service based right here in the USA. A lot of other perks as well
00:01:27.360
that you get with Charity Mobile. You have the ability to block the use of cellular data,
00:01:31.960

00:01:36.140
something that's going to be really important. And if you're looking to monitor your usage and pay
00:01:40.020
your bill and all that, you want convenience, well, they got a free app for you to do that.
00:01:43.720

pro-life phone company. You can turn everyday living into effortless giving for the charity of your
00:01:52.660
choice. I am a Charity Mobile user. I can't recommend it enough. It's a great service.
00:01:57.080
Great all around. Everything about it, it's just a win-win for everybody involved. And if you want
00:02:01.740
to check out Charity Mobile, then what I would say is call 1-877-474-3662 or chat with them online
00:02:08.000
at charitymobile.com. You probably know I'm not a fan of Disney or Star Wars and had never seen
00:02:14.060
The Mandalorian or heard the name Gina Carano before yesterday. What I learned about Ms. Carano,
00:02:18.860
from reading mainstream media headlines and sifting through some of the tweets under the
00:02:23.400
fire Gina Carano hashtag, is that she's a bigot and a psychopath and a transphobe and an anti-Semite
00:02:30.580
and a danger to herself and others. I learned that she has now been booted from her role on The
00:02:35.780
Mandalorian and fired by Disney, a cause for celebration, I'm told, after an Instagram post
00:02:40.500
that became sort of the final straw. That post has been reported by media outlets like USA Today
00:02:46.260
and Chicago Sun-Times as straightforwardly anti-Semitic. Not even like some people claim
00:02:52.000
it's anti-Semitic or some people see it as anti-Semitic, but that it is just simply anti-Semitic.
00:02:57.580
This Gina Carano person, I mean, she seems like a pretty unsavory character.
00:03:02.620
Anti-Semitic posts, transphobic, she's bigoted, all these things. Pretty bad. Or she would seem that
00:03:10.840
wait to anyone stupid enough to still take the popular narrative at face value. The rest of us
00:03:16.360
will want to do a little bit more research into the topic and form our own judgments.
00:03:19.920
It doesn't take much research to discover that the narrative is, once again, completely and utterly
00:03:24.880
bogus. So what did the now-deleted Instagram post that has been dubbed anti-Semitic by not only the
00:03:32.120
media, but her former employer actually say? I mean, Lucasfilm sent out a statement declaring that
00:03:37.300
Carano's, quote, social media posts denigrating people based on their cultural and religious
00:03:41.880
beliefs are abhorrent and unacceptable. Abhorrent and unacceptable. Is there any basis for this
00:03:50.360
charge? Well, decide for yourself. The post in question appears to be a screenshot of somebody
00:03:55.620
else's post, which Carano had reposted to her own Instagram. It says, this is what it says,
00:04:01.100
Jews were beaten in the streets, not by Nazi soldiers, but by their neighbors,
00:04:04.900
even by children. Because history is edited, most people today don't realize that to get to the
00:04:09.900
point where Nazi soldiers could easily round up thousands of Jews, the government first made their
00:04:14.580
own neighbors hate them simply for being Jews. How is that any different from hating someone for
00:04:19.540
their political views? That's it. That was the post. Anti-Semitic? Denigrating people based on their
00:04:27.560
cultural and religious identities? What? It's the opposite of that, actually. She is comparing
00:04:34.540
our current political environment to Nazi Germany in an unfavorable way. She's not saying it's good
00:04:39.340
that it's like this. And by the way, if making a Nazi comparison is anti-Semitic, then everyone in
00:04:46.720
the country is a raging anti-Semite. As everyone knows, Nazi comparisons are the most common rhetorical
00:04:53.060
strategy in any debate. They may be way overused, and they are, and overwrought, and they often are,
00:04:59.760
but there's nothing shocking or offensive or abhorrent about this one single example of a thing that you
00:05:05.160
can find in a billion other places on the internet. And everyone has done it. Jews and non-Jews alike.
00:05:11.820
We have all been guilty, apparently, at various points of making Nazi analogies. In fact, as Nazi
00:05:18.200
analogies go, this one gets closer to the truth than most. I mean, she's correct that the lead-up
00:05:24.340
to any Holocaust-level atrocity always involves the dehumanization of a certain group of people.
00:05:29.500
Now, I would say this has already happened in this country to the unborn. 60 million have been
00:05:33.300
slaughtered because of it. Is it happening to conservatives, too? Well, we're not being rounded
00:05:37.280
up and executed, obviously, but her point is simply to show where trends can lead when taken to their
00:05:43.540
most violent extreme. Now, say what you want about that, but if you say that she's denigrating Jews
00:05:50.400
somehow, then, well, you're lying. Straight up. And I hope she has a team of lawyers ready to sue
00:05:57.300
Lucasfilm for this defamation. That is defamation of character. They accused her of doing something that
00:06:02.760
she absolutely did not do. It's not even that you can interpret it in that way. You cannot.
00:06:08.160
No literate person could read what she posted and see that as her denigrating Jews.
00:06:15.780
We could, of course, sit here all day pulling examples of leftists making Nazi and Holocaust
00:06:20.140
comparisons. They spent four years doing it relentlessly every day. And Donald Trump never
00:06:26.360
staged any mass executions of any political dissidents, yet they didn't stop anyone from
00:06:31.180
calling him Hitler. We could even pull examples of other Disney actors on the same show making
00:06:37.920
Nazi comparisons. Pedro Pascal, another actor on The Mandalorian, tweeted in 2018,
00:06:44.540
hashtag, this is America. And you can see it here. He says, this is America, hashtag,
00:06:50.560
with a picture of Jews in concentration camps in 1944, on top of a picture of the infamous kids in
00:06:57.360
cages in America in 2018. So there's the Nazi comparison. Except that, as far as I could tell,
00:07:03.380
that's not really from 2018. It's from 2010. And it's not from America either. Well,
00:07:10.000
minor details. Oh, and by the way, it's also, those kids are also not in a cage. You can tell,
00:07:15.220
if you look at the far left end of the photo there, that there's a large opening where the
00:07:21.960
kids can come and go. So it's a picture of kids in cages in America in 2018, except it's not from 2018.
00:07:29.000
It's not from America and they're not in a cage. Hey, other than that, I'd say it's correctly
00:07:34.720
labeled. In any case, despite common misconceptions, Trump was not rounding up and executing immigrants.
00:07:41.520
He detained them as Obama did and as Biden is doing right now. And then if they were here illegally,
00:07:47.200
he sent them home. That is not at all even slightly analogous to Nazi Germany. No part of that is the
00:07:54.060
same. The only similarity is that both involved governments and both involved some form of
00:08:01.880
detainment. So by Pedro's logic, every government then is effectively a Nazi government, including
00:08:07.440
the current one running this country right now. But he wasn't fired for that. The reason has a lot
00:08:12.920
to do with those pronouns that you can see in his bio, which function like the lamb's blood on the door
00:08:19.000
signaling for the angel of cancellation to pass over. Incidentally, that's one of the other offensive
00:08:24.920
things that Carano did or didn't do. One of the straws before the final one, apparently she refused
00:08:31.400
to put pronouns in her bio. That's really one of the things that made people mad at her is that she
00:08:36.540
didn't have pronouns in her bio. And then when she finally did, in reference to R2D2, she said that her
00:08:45.400
pronouns were boop, beep, boop, which is pretty funny. But you're not allowed to joke about the
00:08:51.540
sacred pronouns. We must not joke. That is heresy. One of several heretical outbursts from Carano,
00:08:58.420
whose real sin, whose only sin, as far as the left is concerned, is that she doesn't agree with them.
00:09:04.700
She has a number of views that do not align with leftism. She expressed those views, and that's why
00:09:10.200
they wanted her destroyed. And ultimately, they got what they wanted. What do we learn from this?
00:09:16.380
Well, nothing, really. I mean, we learned what we already knew, that we live in a time when rigid
00:09:21.360
ideological conformity is demanded. Carano isn't being shipped off to a death camp, of course, but
00:09:26.860
her case does demonstrate the sort of dehumanization that you do find in our culture. She's being lied
00:09:34.460
about and defamed. And the people doing it know what they're doing, and they don't care.
00:09:41.440
They can look at that post she put up there. They know that's not anti-Semitic, and they also know
00:09:45.440
that they themselves have made exactly that kind of point a million times. But they're defaming her
00:09:52.680
anyway. They honestly believe that anyone who disagrees with them deserves that treatment.
00:09:58.480
You can lie about them and destroy them. It doesn't matter. They do not recognize any kind
00:10:05.700
of moral obligation or standard when dealing with the cultural heretics. You can shut them down,
00:10:10.660
shut them up, cast them out, lie about them. That's the only goal. So ironically, the point Carano
00:10:16.660
was making in her supposedly offensive Instagram post has been aptly illustrated by the outrage
00:10:23.080
response to it. Now let's get to our five headlines.
00:10:28.480
Very excited to announce today a new sponsor on the show, 40 Days for Life. And this is a great
00:10:38.060
organization. I've worked with them in the past. I've been a fan of 40 Days for Life for a very long
00:10:43.860
time. And this is just, this is one of those perfect, fits like a glove, 40 Days for Life for
00:10:49.620
the Matt Wall Show. Look, if the state of the culture frustrates you like it frustrates all of us,
00:10:54.480
we now have politicians lobbying for infanticide, all of these things. We have the Democrats in
00:11:00.440
charge and they're, and they're, we know their radical pro-abortion agenda and what's what we can
00:11:05.060
expect of the next four years. But here's the thing, you know, where I see real progress is at
00:11:10.780
the grassroots level in 40 Days for Life. We've talked about this on this show. We've got things
00:11:15.320
going on at the national level. It's hard to control those things, especially with,
00:11:18.860
especially with Democrats in charge. But there's so much we can do on the local level. There's so
00:11:25.800
much that you can do in your own community at the grassroots level. And that's where 40 Days for
00:11:29.980
Life, that's where they specialize. That's where they've done all of their work. 40 Days for Life
00:11:33.960
went from one peaceful prayer vigil in front of a Planned Parenthood in Texas to now 1,000 cities in
00:11:39.360
66 countries. 40 days of prayer, fasting, and law-abiding vigils have saved 18,000 babies from
00:11:45.780
abortion. They've helped 211 abortion workers leave their jobs and they have closed 107 abortion
00:11:50.600
facilities, including the Texas location that now serves as the headquarters of 40 Days for Life.
00:11:55.360
How great is that? They shut down an abortion facility and now it's their headquarters. Be part
00:12:00.860

Go to work in your neighborhood at 40daysforlife.com. I told you guys though, I told you guys about Star
00:12:30.100
Wars. I've been saying it for years. I told you Star Wars sucks. We got to move on from Star Wars.
00:12:35.240
How often have I said this? And I've been, I hate to be proven, I hate to say I told you so.
00:12:39.840
In fact, well, actually that's not true. I love saying I told you so. And I'll say it again. I told you so.
00:12:43.240
The Star Wars thing. Now we don't need to debate the original three movies. I think those also are
00:12:50.620
just massively overrated. The acting is not very good. The script leaves a lot to be desired.
00:12:55.540
The ideas in the film are not at all original. It's just sort of like a space, you know, a soap opera
00:13:02.540
in space. But fine. So, but they were, people have nostalgic attachment to them. And I get that.
00:13:09.980
You grew up watching them. And so you have this attachment. I understand. I respect that. But
00:13:13.840
okay. Now we can, can we just move on? Can we be done with Star Wars? Can we move on from it? Can
00:13:18.520
society move on? Have we, have we, have we seen enough of this by now? The last arguably decent
00:13:25.300
Star Wars movie was what? Like three decades ago? And everything since then has been terrible.
00:13:30.620
Um, and there's not, it's, it's, there wasn't that much there to begin with, with the story.
00:13:41.320
It, there really was never 40 years worth of story in this, uh, thing that George Lucas came
00:13:49.240
up with. Cause what you hear from people is that, well, the, the Star Wars universe, there's
00:13:55.040
so many stories to tell in the Star Wars universe. Yeah. Well, you know what? There's a lot of stories
00:13:59.520
to tell in the actual universe. I mean, there's a whole universe out there. You can come up
00:14:05.400
with any other kind of, you want to, you want to tell a sci-fi story, tell a sci-fi story.
00:14:08.860
It doesn't have to be Star Wars. It doesn't have to exist in the Star Wars universe. Make
00:14:12.780
up your own universe. That's what you can do. It's fantasy, sci-fi. You can tell your own
00:14:17.040
story. It doesn't have to be tangentially connected to Star Wars. That's not really related
00:14:24.660
to the Gina Carano thing, but, um, I bring it up anyway. Okay. Number one from ABC News.
00:14:31.320
Fit matters when it comes to your mask, protecting you against the virus that caused COVID-19 and
00:14:35.900
layering a well-fitted cloth mask over a surgical mask is likely to prove beneficial. According
00:14:40.720
to new findings released Wednesday by the Centers for Disease Control Prevention, the findings
00:14:45.420
were not expected to lead to new mask recommendations by the CDC. Uh, the public health agency mentioned
00:14:50.260
or maintains that everyone aged two and older should wear a face covering when outside their
00:14:53.760
home. It also doesn't change the recommendation that primarily medical workers in high risk
00:14:56.840
environments should rely on N95 masks. Um, but either way, now they're, now they are recommending,
00:15:02.980
they are telling us that we should wear two masks or rather they're endorsing the idea of two masks,
00:15:08.160
not officially recommending it, but that, that will come. I hope by now we can all, we all
00:15:14.520
understand how this works. So originally we're told that you don't need to wear two masks and then
00:15:20.820
maybe you do. And now it's, yeah, you probably should, but we're not recommending it. And then,
00:15:24.880
you know, in a week or two, it's going to be, yeah, we're recommended. And then we could do after
00:15:28.140
that. It's, you're required to, it's not enough to have one. You need to have two. And I, I, my,
00:15:35.780
I will say again, my, my primary argument against wearing two masks.
00:15:40.580
It's not that I don't think it doesn't work. Um, it's, it's not, it's not any health-based
00:15:47.240
thing. That's not my argument, but I don't even care about that. That's not my point.
00:15:54.180
Um, my argument is that it's absurd, that it's absurd. It's, it looks stupid. It's undignified.
00:16:04.600
And that's my, that's my entire argument. I think that's what our argument should be.
00:16:07.880
Yeah. I already see some people making the mistake of, well, let's know according to the
00:16:14.120
science, it does. It's not, it's not any better. Um, that's not really, if you don't want to wear
00:16:20.020
two masks, is that actually your reason that you just don't think it's effective or is it that it's
00:16:26.480
really stupid and it looks dumb and you don't feel like doing it? Because I think that that is probably
00:16:32.420
your argument, like it's mine. And that's good enough. That should be good enough because when you
00:16:36.980
make the argument based on how effective it is, then they could just bring in all their
00:16:42.020
experts and say, Nope, you're wrong. It's effective. And since you have structured your
00:16:47.140
argument that way, well, now I guess you got to wear the two masks. So better to just be honest
00:16:53.160
about it. And I'll say right now, I don't look at their numbers. They say, uh, whatever it's 80,
00:16:57.640
90%, whatever they say, I don't care. I'm not doing it because I don't want to do it. And it looks
00:17:03.080
stupid. And that is 100% my reason. And that is good enough. Meanwhile, the CDC, uh, also released
00:17:12.040
a masking PSA. Well, um, this is to make the masks look cool and trendy and to get all, get everyone
00:17:19.080
to wear them. So let's, let's play that now. This is a CDC PSA on masking. Here it is.
00:17:25.120
Okay. So we've got, we've got all of our favorite cinematic characters is looking at
00:17:37.980
you kid and they've all got masks. And the CDC saying, if we want to get back to doing what
00:17:45.500
we love to do, we've got to wear the masks and slow the spread. There's Harry Potter.
00:17:48.900
There's wonder woman in the mask mask up America. It says, but then none of them were wearing
00:17:56.060
two masks though. So we got to, I guess we got to update that PSA with the, uh, with the
00:18:01.740
two masks. Yeah. I'm just not doing it. That's as simple as that. Not wearing, not wearing the
00:18:08.860
two masks. It's completely ridiculous. It looks stupid. And, um, and also it's, I would imagine
00:18:16.500
it's very uncomfortable and I like to be able to breathe. I don't care if they say, well,
00:18:20.860
technically you could still breathe with two masks and it's not restricting your airflow
00:18:23.600
that much. Yeah. It, it, it feels uncomfortable. It feels like I can't breathe. And that's good
00:18:27.560
enough for me. That's enough reason for me not to wear it. All right. Um, number two,
00:18:32.080
the Biden administration has plans to get schools back open. Uh, they've got, they got a plan in
00:18:37.620
place and under their plan, here's what their plan is to get schools back open. Okay. In a hundred
00:18:43.940
days, they want to have half of the schools open in America for one day a week in a hundred days.
00:18:52.480
And Jen Pisaki was asked about this, uh, at the white house press conference yesterday. And here's
00:18:57.520
what she had to say. If I could just follow up with you on comments you made yesterday about school
00:19:02.180
reopenings. You said the goal was for more than 50% of schools to have some teaching in person,
00:19:08.800
at least one day a week. You said you hoped it would be higher, but why is the administration
00:19:14.340
setting the bar at one day a week? Why not go higher? Well, certainly we are not, um, planning to,
00:19:21.060
uh, celebrate at a hundred days. If we reach that goal, uh, that is our own effort to make our own,
00:19:28.140
set our own markings, bold and set in a bold and ambitious agenda for how we're going to measure
00:19:32.820
ourselves and progress. But, uh, we certainly hope to build from that even at a hundred days.
00:19:38.180
And from there, our objective, the president's objectives is for all schools to reopen, to stay
00:19:43.560
open, to be open five days a week for kids to be learning. That's what our focus is on. This is
00:19:48.880
simply a goal for a hundred days. So Ken, a lot of schools are already doing that. And for working
00:19:53.640
parents, one day a week doesn't help a whole lot. That's again, the bar of where we'd like the majority
00:20:00.880
of schools across the country to be, which they're not at this point in time. And we want to build
00:20:05.760
from there. And it really depends. It differs from school district to school district. Part of the
00:20:11.020
reason that there is funding in the American rescue plan is to ensure that school districts that don't
00:20:17.440
have the funding they need to ensure they are equipped to reopen, to meet that bar and exceed it,
00:20:22.560
are able to do exactly that. There's a hundred days, half schools, half the schools open for,
00:20:29.240
for, for, uh, for one day a week. And that's, and, but she says, that's just the beginning.
00:20:33.240
Well, we'll start there. Okay. So if it takes a hundred days to get half of the schools open
00:20:36.740
for one day a week, how long until all of the schools open are open for five days a week?
00:20:43.220
I mean, do the math on that. We've got several years to go. It would seem.
00:20:48.800
And there's no, there's, there's no reason to take that. There's no reason for this whatsoever.
00:20:53.160
This is pure cowardice on the part of the Biden administration. They, they know, I mean,
00:20:57.540
everybody knows now that there's no reason for the schools to have ever been closed to begin with
00:21:02.560
the schools that are, Oh, there are some schools that are open right now and they're not having
00:21:07.980
massive outbreaks. So we've got all the reason in the world to just open the schools up. You don't
00:21:14.200
need to, you don't need to taper it. You don't need to, you don't need any complicated plan to do
00:21:19.020
it gradually. Just open up the schools. How do you open them? Open them, open up the doors and say,
00:21:24.160
Hey, kids come to school and say to the teachers, Hey, come to your jobs. And if you're not going
00:21:29.100
to do that, we'll fire you. No big loss. We'll find somebody else to do the job. You know,
00:21:33.260
the thing is there was a lot of people have lost their jobs, uh, as we know over the last year.
00:21:38.160
So if, if, if there are people who have jobs and are getting paid and are unwilling to do what
00:21:43.620
they're getting paid to do, fantastic, get rid of them. And there's going to be a whole bunch
00:21:48.900
of people out there who would be more than willing to do that job and can step in.
00:21:54.160
All right. Number three from IFL science. I'm not going to tell you what IFL stands for.
00:22:00.840
You can look it up kids. Well, don't look it up kids, but, uh, uh, IFLScience.com says a study
00:22:07.140
looking at the language people use when they're going through breakups has found that markers of
00:22:11.520
an impending breakup can be seen three months before the breakup occurs. Researchers from the
00:22:17.380
university of Texas at Austin looked at over a million posts from 6,803 Reddit users.
00:22:22.980
I wonder how much money they got, how much funding did they get for this study? The users were
00:22:28.200
specifically chosen because they had posted on the subreddit breakups. Hmm. Okay. Well,
00:22:35.820
how do you know? Uh, so these researchers were trying to find out, you know, people posting on
00:22:41.440
the subreddit breakups, like how can you tell that they're about to break up? I don't know.
00:22:46.980
Maybe it's because they're posting on a subreddit called breakups. It's because they're posting and
00:22:52.800
saying that they want to break up. Uh, but the article considers, no, it's all it says. No,
00:22:57.080
before you think it, the indication that a breakup was coming was not them posting in this particular
00:23:00.640
forum, but the fact that they had posted there as well as, uh, on many other areas of Reddit gave
00:23:05.560
researchers the opportunity to see how their breakups affected their use of language. Oh, okay.
00:23:09.920
Still stupid, but okay. The team who published their results in the proceedings of the National
00:23:13.940
Academy of Sciences looked at posts before, during, and after the breakups across two years
00:23:18.080
of posts. They found that language markers indicating a breakup began three months beforehand.
00:23:23.200
Okay. So what are the, this is what actually matters. What, how do you know if you're about to
00:23:26.900
deal with a breakup? Um, what are the language markers you can look for? And it says
00:23:30.580
signs included an increase in I words, we words, and cognitive processing words,
00:23:36.980
uh, whatever that means and drops in analytic thinking indicating more
00:23:43.940
personal and informal language. So you say I and we a lot, and you don't, you don't engage in a lot
00:23:51.440
of great analytic thinking. That's a, that's a sign that there's a breakup coming. Of course that
00:23:56.200
applies to like 95% of the country. So, uh, for instance, in the example below the study, the,
00:24:01.200
the words in bold show signs of cognitive processing, as well as the abundance of I words.
00:24:05.220
So here's an example of a, something someone says, which shows it about the breakup.
00:24:08.920
I'm undecided whether or not to share my story. I need some help because I feel lost,
00:24:13.320
but my story is long and not sure whether it's worth sharing. So that's an example.
00:24:17.040
A lot of cognitive processing, a lot of I words. And that's how you know, the breakup is coming.
00:24:20.580
I think this is all quite silly. I'll tell you the written clue that your, your, your relationship
00:24:25.960
is in trouble. You don't need to get into cognitive processing and I and me words and everything.
00:24:31.180
That's, that's not it. Here's how, you know, if you're, and I think most people understand this,
00:24:36.420
but in case you don't, if you're getting text messages from your significant other
00:24:40.560
that feature periods, the period we all know is a signal, especially if it's a, if it's a one word
00:24:49.900
or even one sentence text message with a period, then, you know, you're in trouble. You know,
00:24:55.280
the breakup is coming. I think we all, we all understand that now that's a, the period is
00:24:59.940
passive aggressive. And I don't like this. I'm a fan of punctuation, but this is what's happened now.
00:25:05.700
That even me now, when I send a text message to somebody and it's one word or one sentence,
00:25:09.380
I don't use the period anymore. I used to do that until I was informed that when, when you do that,
00:25:15.320
it is, it is always interpreted as the other person thinks you're angry. So that's how you
00:25:20.700
know. Um, so yes, if your girlfriend sent you a text message with the period, it means that she's
00:25:24.800
going to break up with you. That's what, that's what it means. Here's a fun celebrity tweets.
00:25:28.620
Um, the rapper common quotes Ayanna Pressley and it says poverty is not naturally occurring.
00:25:34.520
It's a policy choice. Poverty is not naturally occurring. It is a policy choice. And I just
00:25:40.580
wanted to put that up for there for you because, uh, a lot of people retweeting that big reaction
00:25:46.280
to that. A lot of people on the left, this is, this is the kind of rhetoric they like.
00:25:51.460
And this is the, this is the level of thought that you get from the left now, from the new stars
00:25:57.500
of the left and the Democrat party. Poverty is not naturally occurring. It's a policy choice.
00:26:03.080
Of course, in reality, right? Poverty is like the most naturally occurring thing in the world,
00:26:10.940
at least, at least in relation to the human species, at least societally speaking, poverty
00:26:17.440
is one of the most naturally occurring things in the world. But before the industrial revolution,
00:26:22.220
I don't know the exact number. You can look it up, but I'm guessing that for the entirety of
00:26:27.320
human civilization, up until the industrial revolution, probably well over 90% of the
00:26:33.200
human population, probably well over 90% was in poverty by our standards and by their own.
00:26:39.820
Um, so that's, that is really the natural state for people is to not have wealth.
00:26:47.020
It's unfortunate. It's, but it's the reality. This of course is what this is. This is required
00:26:52.780
though on the left, you have to see poverty as a choice. And that means that, you know,
00:26:57.320
anyone who's in poverty now, they are, they're the victim of, of somebody most likely they're
00:27:03.080
the victim of a rich person. If you are rich, it means that you are, you, the money that you have,
00:27:08.620
you are, you're depriving it. You're depriving someone else of that wealth wealth just by having
00:27:13.360
of course, total nonsense. It's a, it's a, it's a nice slogan. You can put it on a bumper sticker,
00:27:18.200
but it is disturbing to think that our lawmakers are actually that stupid. All right. Number five,
00:27:26.620
I've had this in the queue for quite a while. And, uh, I want to finally play it for you. The,
00:27:31.000
the website, LGBTQ nation, always with the important news says quote, a video on Twitter went viral
00:27:38.160
showing one, showing one trans lesbian's response to a transphobic trope. Now trans lesbian,
00:27:44.100
that would be a biological male who's attracted to women, a straight guy, basically. Um, Twitter
00:27:52.140
user Eva uploaded a video that visually and beautifully took on the hateful notion that
00:27:58.080
transgender people are just playing dress up. So, okay. So this is a video that's supposed to destroy
00:28:03.860
anti-trans talking points from a trans lesbian, otherwise known again as a male attracted to females
00:28:09.960
is a bombshell video destroys all of, uh, the, the anti-trans talking points. And, uh, here it is
00:28:17.460
right here. Let's watch. So as a trans woman, I've gotten a lot of strange comments over the years
00:28:22.500
about my body and appearance. And one that always sticks out to me is, you know, wearing a dress
00:28:28.200
doesn't make you a woman and like wearing a what? I'm sorry. Wearing what? Did you say like a dress
00:28:37.360
a dress? Like, like this? Or maybe, uh, more like this? Sorry. I just, I don't really wear.
00:28:45.620
Okay. Well, this one's kind of cute. Or how about this? Okay.
00:28:55.140
So that's it. Debunked. Debunked. If you thought that, um, men have penises and women have vaginas,
00:29:02.840
you've, you've, you've just been debunked. It's, it's over. That's, that's science right there.
00:29:10.140
Now, if you're listening on audio, what, what, what was happening there is the, uh, the trans
00:29:13.620
individual was changing outfits and sometimes he was wearing a dress. Other times he's wearing
00:29:19.760
more, uh, you know, outfits that are more masculine. And this is supposed to prove
00:29:26.380
something. I don't, I don't know what exactly. This is maybe something that people on the LGBT
00:29:33.520
left don't understand. We, we know, I, I understand that anyone can wear any outfit. I, I totally get
00:29:39.660
that. But the whole point is that putting on a certain outfit doesn't actually change your biology.
00:29:46.220
That's the point. We get the same thing. Anytime there's a story about, um, in fact, we'll talk more
00:29:53.260
about this in the daily cancellation, but when there's a story about a man giving birth,
00:29:57.260
we could see it, you know, and maybe we'll see a picture of a guy with not a guy, but an individual
00:30:02.500
with, with facial hair, uh, with, uh, you know, wearing male clothing, but with the pregnant belly
00:30:10.480
and that's supposed to prove something to us. No. Yeah, we get it. That's, that's a woman. It's a female
00:30:17.600
who's gotten some surgery and is, you know, taking hormone pills and is wearing a certain kind of
00:30:23.040
outfit, but still a female. That, that doesn't blow my mind at all. I'm perfectly aware that anyone
00:30:30.800
can wear any outfit. In fact, that's, that's my point that you can wear whatever outfit you want
00:30:38.620
just because you're a guy doesn't mean that you have to wear outfits that we culturally associate
00:30:45.460
with men. But the point is, if you do put on a different outfit, if you put on an outfit,
00:30:50.260
we can't, we associate with women, it doesn't make you a woman. So once again, we are the ones
00:30:55.920
saying that men, you know, men are free to wear whatever the hell they want to wear,
00:31:00.700
but you're still going to be a man while you do it. All right. Now let's move to our newest
00:31:07.880
beloved segment, reading the YouTube comments where we read the YouTube comments. Um, first,
00:31:13.060
this is from John Reed yesterday on the show. He says, and a lot of comments like this,
00:31:17.500
I have to admit. Uh, but John Reed says, Matt, that cardigan has to go.
00:31:22.360
I did wear a cardigan on the show yesterday and a pen got very bad reviews. And here's,
00:31:26.120
here's the thing. I blame my wife for it. I make no apologies for the cardigan. I think I look great.
00:31:31.000
And I, now I'm going to wear the cardigan more often just to spite all of you and your cardigan
00:31:35.680
shaming. But I really blame my wife because I, I was talking to my wife later that night and I said,
00:31:42.160
you know, I wore the cardigan today and people seem in people are making fun of it. They just seem
00:31:45.420
not to like it. And she said to me, you wore that. Yeah. What? And then she explained to me
00:31:52.000
that it looks terrible. Why that's see, that's, it's your job to make sure that I don't look
00:31:55.940
terrible when I leave the house as a woman, as the wife, that's your job. So if I leave the house
00:31:59.960
looking awful, really this falls on you. So blame my wife for that. And John Reed, you're banned from
00:32:06.240
listening to the show. Heather Hyde says, just want to say, I love your wife. Perhaps you used to think
00:32:10.940
you were your own man, but it's about time you realize you are her husband. Love and light from
00:32:15.440
New Orleans. That's, that is part of marriage though, isn't it? That's something that probably
00:32:19.860
people don't understand in modern culture. But, uh, when you, when you get married, you are not
00:32:24.320
totally your own anymore. That's part of marriage. It's part of the, the miracle of that sacrament of
00:32:29.120
marriage. When you say, I do, you are, you are coming together. You're being bonded as one in a real,
00:32:33.760
in a, in a very real and spiritual sense. Um, someone with the, uh, with the username,
00:32:40.600
I'm not your buddy guy says, what is the political makeup of lawyers? Seriously? How many are left
00:32:45.080
wing? Their disdain slash hatred of president Trump combined with the fear of others left him
00:32:49.860
with very few options. My only question is, does it have to be lawyers? Clearly this isn't a judicial
00:32:54.780
proceeding with no real judge presiding and it's all for show. So why not have you go up there and
00:32:59.200
defend president Trump? Well, I don't think I'm the guy to do it, but your question about,
00:33:01.820
you know, because the, the lawyers for Trump are doing a terrible job. I think we all agree on
00:33:05.680
that. Uh, particularly the one lawyer, at least Bruce Castor, does he have, does it have to be
00:33:11.620
a lawyer at all? Could it just be anybody that gets up that he hires? I would assume. Yeah,
00:33:15.940
it could be anybody. Um, but, but even so the problem again, is that Trump's one of his great
00:33:21.860
weaknesses, like I said yesterday, one of his great weaknesses, uh, is, is in personnel in his
00:33:27.820
hiring decisions. We saw this going all the way back to the campaign through the administration
00:33:34.000
and even now. So whether he's hiring lawyers or not, he does not appear to be the best judge of
00:33:40.820
talent. So I think that would be the case no matter who he was hiring. And one of the reasons for that
00:33:48.200
is that for Trump, the, the number one thing he's looking for is undying, unyielding loyalty to him,
00:33:59.460
which yes, of course you, you want people you hire to be loyal to you, but that shouldn't be the only
00:34:06.400
thing you're looking for. But for Trump, it appears that's really it. He just wants someone
00:34:11.240
who's loyal to him and says nice things about him. Um, but there are a lot of people who are,
00:34:19.040
who are talented and could do a great job yet. They have minds of their own. So they may not line
00:34:23.940
up with you a hundred percent on everything yet for Trump, that's disqualified. And so he rules out
00:34:29.080
a lot of what would otherwise be talented people. Um, this is from Laura Brooks refer Brooks referring to
00:34:36.980
the story we led the show with yesterday. Officer Sicknick was reported to have been killed by a blow
00:34:41.980
to the head during the riot, but no evidence has been given that such a blow was ever delivered.
00:34:47.500
No evidence has been found that he was killed by any action taken by any person in the crowd in DC.
00:34:52.800
At least if there is evidence of that, they're not telling us. Laura says as an EMT, I can guarantee
00:34:57.380
that if somebody has trauma to cause death, it would be obvious without an autopsy. Yeah, that's,
00:35:03.760
that's, that's again, what I would assume that if someone, the original story we were told
00:35:08.420
about Sicknick is that he was beat to death by, by someone in the crowd or multiple people in the
00:35:14.000
crowd. And you would think, even though I'm not a doctor, I would assume that if somebody was
00:35:20.140
bludgeoned to death, um, you'd be able to tell, it would be pretty obvious during the medical
00:35:25.800
examination and the autopsy, if not before that, as you point out. But even if it's not now, you,
00:35:32.600
you could argue that sometimes someone could, in a sort of a freak occurrence, someone could
00:35:37.140
suffer a blow to the head and it's not immediately obvious and then die later because of the internal
00:35:41.840
damage that was done. I suppose that sort of thing has happened, but even there, then you'd be able
00:35:46.720
to tell in the autopsy, except they're not releasing the autopsy. And I, I, I cannot imagine any good
00:35:54.620
reason. I can imagine a number of reasons why they wouldn't release the autopsy. I can't think of any
00:35:59.520
good reason. It's hard for me to imagine an ethical reason when there is so much interest,
00:36:05.240
public interest in this case, uh, when it's being referred to so often in the, in the impeachment
00:36:11.080
trial proceedings, when it's, this is one of the things being used as a reason to have the military
00:36:17.980
occupying DC, uh, because of all those reasons, the public has a real interest in what actually
00:36:27.240
killed officer Sicknick. Yet they're not telling us the autopsy results. Jack Walsh finally says,
00:36:34.680
Matt, please help. My marriage is in shambles. I've tried to get help through counseling with
00:36:38.320
no results to speak of. I thought the problem would work itself out with time or I could learn
00:36:42.320
to live with it. But since my son is almost two now, I now see that it is unlikely to work.
00:36:46.340
No matter how much I plead, what factual and logical arguments can I put forward or emotional
00:36:50.380
connections I try to make, my wife still puts ketchup on meatloaf. I'm at my wits end and I'm desperate.
00:36:56.660
I've been there before, uh, Jack, I understand what you're going through. All I can say is just
00:37:02.600
take over the meatloaf making duties. That's what I did at my house. That's the only, that's what you
00:37:07.720
need to do to save your marriage. Godspeed. God bless. Yeah, this has been obviously a really
00:37:12.600
difficult year for businesses, um, to put it very mildly, but I've been impressed to see
00:37:17.500
small business owners and others pivoting and adjusting to this reality and finding ways to,
00:37:26.020
to stay alive and in many cases actually thrive. Um, businesses have had to be pretty flexible
00:37:31.440
this past year from working remotely to pivoting their business models for long-term survival and
00:37:36.060
growth. If you're in charge of hiring for your business, these pivots have made your job even
00:37:39.900

daily cancellation. So today we're going to cancel male breastfeeders. Well, we can't, can't really
00:39:35.640
cancel them because they don't exist. Never have existed, cannot exist. So instead we're canceling the
00:39:40.580
people who want us to pretend they exist. Reading now from the daily wire, it says in great Britain,
00:39:46.540
a group of hospitals has instructed midwives and their maternity departments to use different
00:39:50.840
terms when treating transgender patients in order to be more gender inclusive, substituting chest
00:39:56.520
feeding for breastfeeding, replacing breast milk with human milk or breast slash chest milk.
00:40:04.920
Gross. Or milk from the feeding mother or parent. Terms like chest feeding,
00:40:10.580
and human milk are being introduced at NHS trust in a bid to boost inclusivity. Bristol live
00:40:15.380
reports. Staff has been instructed, uh, to use gender neutral language alongside, not instead of
00:40:20.540
traditional terms that ensure that all groups are represented. Um, LBC reported of Brighton and
00:40:26.740
Sussex university hospital NHS trust. The hospitals will become the first in the UK to introduce an
00:40:31.420
official gender inclusive language policy for its maternity services departments, which will be
00:40:36.900
rebranded as perinatal services. Terms such as woman and father will also be superseded by woman or
00:40:43.600
person and parent co-parent or second biological parent, respectively. Brighton and Sussex university
00:40:51.200
hospitals NHS trust explains as announcements of the changes, we are on a journey towards gender
00:40:56.380
inclusive care for everybody during pregnancy, birth, and afterwards. This journey is led by members of the
00:41:01.460
trans and non-binary community. We're at the beginning of this process, which will continue over the next few
00:41:06.120
years. Midwives believe pregnancy and birth are normal, healthy parts of life. The midwife's
00:41:10.860
role is to support a pregnant person's journey through each stage of pregnancy, birth, and the
00:41:14.400
early days with their new baby. Midwives believe that you know what is best for you and your baby
00:41:18.560
and we'll work together with you to ensure your experience of pregnancy and birth is safe and
00:41:22.860
possible, possible, positive that is. Okay. Now we can all agree, hopefully that human milk
00:41:29.000
and chest milk are the most disturbing and revolting rebranding attempts in world history,
00:41:34.900
even worse than new Coke probably. As for the chest feeding concept, now I have all the criticisms
00:41:40.840
you'd expect me to have and that any sane person would have, namely that there is no such thing as
00:41:45.280
being gender inclusive when it comes to childbirth and lactation. These are things that only women
00:41:50.280
can do or will ever be able to do. And frankly, as a man, I'm quite grateful for that. I am more than
00:41:55.900
happy to leave all of the birthing and the lactating to my wife. I have to admit that on the three
00:42:01.620
occasions that my wife has been pregnant, um, I thought to myself nearly every day, man, I am so
00:42:07.820
glad that I'm not the one who has to do this, but whether I'm happy with it or not, the reality is
00:42:13.900
still the reality that there is no room for inclusion here. It's just like, um, only fish have
00:42:19.020
gills. Okay. You can wish that you have gills and you can insist that you have gills and you can tell
00:42:23.840
everybody to call you Carl the carp or whatever. But if you jump into a lake and sit at the bottom
00:42:28.620
without an oxygen max mask for several minutes, you're going to drown. It doesn't matter what
00:42:33.560
you think or how you feel. The reality is the reality. A man can say that he's a woman and
00:42:38.680
identify as one, but he will never give birth and never lactate ever period. Just like a woman can
00:42:45.240
say she's a man, but the fact that she can give birth and can lactate means that she is not a man
00:42:50.080
and will never be one period. These are all the obvious points to make. But let me, let me mention two
00:42:56.300
others. The first is this, um, although not everyone can breastfeed, everyone does have breasts.
00:43:04.940
Breast is an already inclusive term. We all have them. They typically look different between women
00:43:11.620
and men, though not in all cases, but all members of the human species have breasts. That's why men can
00:43:17.960
even get breast cancer. It's rare, but it does happen because men have breasts. So even if you were
00:43:23.720
trying to include men in breastfeeding, there's no reason to change the word breast. Men have those.
00:43:30.380
It's the feeding part that complicates matters. In a similar fashion, all women have chests.
00:43:37.620
All people have chests and breasts because those are interchangeable terms, which is why changing the
00:43:42.020
term is superfluous and pointless. All you've succeeded in doing is making it sound weird.
00:43:47.580
I mean, it wouldn't be technically wrong to say that you went to Popeye's and ordered a bucket of
00:43:52.880
chicken chests, but it sounds weird. And there's no reason to say it. A chest is a breast as a chest
00:43:58.200
is a breast. Okay. Once again, proponents of left-wing gender theory reveal themselves to have
00:44:02.460
absolutely no understanding of human anatomy. They apparently think that women don't have chests.
00:44:07.620
I mean, I wonder if they think we need different names for male and female arms and legs too.
00:44:14.040
See, this is the irony. The left says that it doesn't like gendered language, but what they end
00:44:18.760
up doing is making non-gendered language gendered and then changing it on the basis that it's gendered.
00:44:25.020
If you recall, a very similar thing happened with the a-men, a-women debacle a few weeks ago.
00:44:30.480
They take a word that is not gendered, they make it gendered, and then they change it because it is
00:44:34.740
gendered, even though they're the ones who made it gendered. One other point. This is more than
00:44:41.700
just silly and stupid. It's both of those things, of course, but it's more. And this is dangerous.
00:44:47.280
Imagine what will happen if these lunatics get their way and succeed in convincing some people,
00:44:51.620
at least, that babies can be fed by men through chest feeding. Babies will die in that case.
00:44:59.460
Because again, no matter what the left's ideology says, no matter what they might want,
00:45:02.800
the simple reality is that babies need milk from women or else a direct substitute of milk from
00:45:07.760
women in the form of formula. If they latch on to a man and start suckling, they're going to come
00:45:12.540
up empty. But we're in a world now where not everybody understands that basic point. And I'm not
00:45:17.740
joking when I say that we will eventually start hearing stories about malnourished and starving
00:45:21.900
infants who are being breastfed by their fathers who identify as mothers. Don't think it's too crazy.
00:45:27.660
Nothing is ever too crazy anymore. If modern culture has taught us anything, it's that.
00:45:34.540
Nothing is ever too crazy. And so the people pushing chest feeding are, of course, very much
00:45:42.380
canceled. That's going to do it for us today. Thanks for watching, everybody. Thanks for listening.
