The Matt Walsh Show - Ep. 656 - The Cancel Mob Claims Another Scalp

00:00:00.000 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 picture messages, text messages on any or all of your lines, especially as a parent. That's

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.

00:01:48.580 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 1.00

00:02:23.400 fire Gina Carano hashtag, is that she's a bigot and a psychopath and a transphobe and an anti-Semite 1.00

00:02:30.580 and a danger to herself and others. I learned that she has now been booted from her role on The 0.99

00:02:35.780 Mandalorian and fired by Disney, a cause for celebration, I'm told, after an Instagram post 0.69

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. 1.00

00:03:02.620 Anti-Semitic posts, transphobic, she's bigoted, all these things. Pretty bad. Or she would seem that 1.00

00:03:10.840 wait to anyone stupid enough to still take the popular narrative at face value. The rest of us 1.00

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 0.85

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 0.78

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 0.96

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 1.00

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 1.00

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 0.99

00:10:05.700 of moral obligation or standard when dealing with the cultural heretics. You can shut them down, 0.99

00:10:10.660 shut them up, cast them out, lie about them. That's the only goal. So ironically, the point Carano 0.86

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 0.93

00:12:24.620 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. 1.00

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 0.97

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 0.98

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 1.00

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 0.99

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 0.75

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 0.99

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. 0.86

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, 1.00

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 1.00

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 0.59

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 0.91

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, 1.00

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. 1.00

00:29:10.140 Now, if you're listening on audio, what, what, what was happening there is the, uh, the trans 1.00

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 0.97

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 0.97

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 1.00

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 1.00

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 more challenging, especially if you've had to hire for brand new roles. Thankfully, there's one place

00:37:44.580 that you can always count on to make hiring faster and easier. That's ziprecruiter.com

00:39:27.800 daily cancellation. So today we're going to cancel male breastfeeders. Well, we can't, can't really 0.92

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. 0.98

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 1.00

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 0.99

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 1.00

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 0.97

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. 1.00

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. 1.00

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. 0.94

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. 1.00

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. 0.99

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 1.00

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.
