Today on the Matt Wall Show, the woke mob cancels a contestant on The Bachelor and then cancels the
00:00:05.380
host of The Bachelor for defending the contestant. So what does this teach us about how cancel culture
00:00:10.240
works? Also, five headlines including Trump getting his record second impeachment acquittal,
00:00:14.840
plus Biden making a move on gun control, and Cardi B advocating for chivalry. And in our
00:00:21.160
daily cancellation, I'm afraid we have to talk about Cosmo and their article fetishizing
00:00:27.040
cannibalism. Yes, really. All that and more today on the Matt Wall Show.
00:00:38.340
Now a quick word from Legacy Box. Most important thing we have, you know, in our homes are those,

last. So if you, like me, have never watched The Bachelor and are still a little bit confused about
00:02:25.140
what The Bachelor even is and are sure only that whatever it is, it's certainly entertainment for
00:02:30.480
people with the IQ of maybe a squid or something. If this describes you, then you have missed probably
00:02:37.360
the latest controversy surrounding the show. I bring it to your attention now as it was brought
00:02:41.640
to my attention only because it's so perfectly emblematic of where we are as a culture. So now
00:02:47.980
try to follow this story because it gets a little twisty. Rachel Kirk Connell, or maybe it's Kirk
00:02:53.980
Connell, not sure, is, we'll go with Kirk Connell because it sounds fancier. Rachel Kirk Connell is a
00:03:00.960
contestant on the latest season of The Bachelor vying for the heart of one Matt James. The
00:03:07.420
contestants are all trying to actually marry him. I think that's how it works. Anyway, Matt James is a
00:03:13.340
black man and that shouldn't be relevant. That shouldn't matter. But of course, race is always
00:03:17.540
made relevant by the left these days. It came out recently that Rachel has a history of racist
00:03:22.660
behavior. And by racist behavior, we mean principally that she attended a frat party in 2018 with an
00:03:29.680
antebellum South theme. And pictures from this gathering resurfaced, as they say, and she could
00:03:37.180
be seen wearing a white hood and with a pointy top and lighting a cross on fire. So no, sorry,
00:03:44.200
actually, never mind. That's not what the picture shows at all. No, in the pictures, she's wearing a
00:03:48.880
pink frilly dress and taking a selfie with her friends. That's it. Antebellum, as it turns out,
00:03:56.280
is not Latin for racist or clan member. It actually means literally before the war. Antebellum. So the
00:04:05.140
antebellum South is the South before the Civil War. Yes, the South before the Civil War had slavery.
00:04:10.080
That's true. So did a huge portion of the rest of the globe at that time. So when college kids go to
00:04:16.840
an antebellum party, they're not going there to celebrate slavery. That's not the idea. They're
00:04:22.280
going there to wear fun outfits and, most crucially, to drink copious amounts of alcohol. That's, of
00:04:28.540
course, always the real goal of any college party. And this is clear to any reasonable person,
00:04:35.240
right? But we're running a shortage of those kinds of people today. So the controversy raged.
00:04:40.000
Internet sleuths started digging up other suspicious online activity from this girl. Edgy posts and photos
00:04:48.080
the girl liked. And they dug up rumors from her time in grade school. And the hunt was on. They
00:04:55.540
were on the trail of another racist, or at least someone that they could pretend was racist. It's
00:05:00.560
the same story we've played out. We've seen play out a million times before. And as part of that story,
00:05:05.140
we know that the apology always comes next, right? Rachel Kirk Connell issued a groveling,
00:05:11.780
begging apology, actually calling herself a racist multiple times in the apology and pleading for
00:05:19.340
forgiveness for the harm and damage that she'd caused by wearing a frilly dress and taking a
00:05:24.220
picture. Of course, no forgiveness was given. It never is. And that's when things take a turn for
00:05:29.140
the even more insane. Chris Harrison is apparently the host of The Bachelor, or was the host. He's now
00:05:36.140
stepped down after his own racism controversy stemming from the racism controversy surrounding
00:05:41.500
Rachel. If you think that simply being the host of The Bachelor was the most embarrassing thing that
00:05:48.120
Chris Harrison would ever do, get a load of this because it gets a lot worse. He appeared on an
00:05:52.400
interview show on Extra TV with a woman named Rachel Lindsay. During that interview, this was early last
00:06:00.300
week. He was asked about the Rachel Kirk Connell stuff. And he rambled for a little bit, but his
00:06:06.840
point was simply that we should have some grace for her and we shouldn't ruin her life over this.
00:06:12.980
And he tried very, very hard to make a reasonable point without ever taking a firm position. He tried
00:06:19.380
very hard. In fact, he uses the phrase, I don't know, about 50 different times during this short part of
00:06:26.040
the interview. And his point seems to be, we should have grace for this girl. But also, I don't know,
00:06:33.240
who knows, please don't be mad at me. Let's listen to a clip of that. What are your thoughts about Rachel
00:06:39.660
Kirk Connell and the allegations attached to her? A couple of things. First and foremost, I don't know.
00:06:46.160
I haven't talked to Rachel about it. And this is, again, where we all need to have a little grace,
00:06:51.360
a little understanding, a little compassion, because I've seen some stuff online. Again,
00:06:56.180
this judge, jury, executioner thing where people are just tearing this girl's life apart and diving
00:07:01.680
into her parents and her parents' voting record. It's unbelievably alarming to watch this.
00:07:10.140
I haven't heard Rachel speak on this yet. And until I actually hear this woman have a chance to speak,
00:07:15.780
who am I to say any of this? My guess, these girls got dressed up and went to a party and had
00:07:21.440
a great time. They were 18 years old. Now, does that make it okay? I don't know, Rachel. You tell
00:07:26.100
me. Again, I am not the woke police. There's plenty of people, plenty of people who will do that for us
00:07:31.540
in this world right now. I don't know. Like, do you go tear all those places down and tear up the dirt
00:07:37.720
and dig deep enough that it erases it? I don't know. You know, when you see San Francisco erasing
00:07:43.960
Lincoln and erasing Washington and erasing people because of what they stood for 180 years ago. And
00:07:50.180
again, they may be right at the end of the day. I don't know. I'm just going to give her the grace
00:07:54.320
and the time to actually come out and speak. And then hopefully I'll even have a chance to debate
00:07:59.020
her. And I know you will for sure. She'll go on extra or go on your podcast and hopefully you'll
00:08:03.940
have a great talk with her. I don't know. Who knows? I don't know. I don't know. Don't be mad.
00:08:09.540
Don't hate me. Gee, guys, I just think maybe sort of we shouldn't ruin this girl's life because she
00:08:14.280
went to a party in 2018. I don't know. Maybe, maybe. Don't be mad at me. Well, guess what?
00:08:21.260
They were mad at him. Because of that, what you just heard there, he was accused of racism too.
00:08:27.760
And now he's stepped down after issuing his own groveling apology where he also confesses to
00:08:34.360
causing damage to people, even though he caused no damage to anyone, and admits that his actions
00:08:39.680
were racist, even though they weren't. In the lead up to him stepping down the host of that interview,
00:08:45.220
Rachel Lindsay complained that he used his privilege during the interview. And all of the
00:08:51.020
Bachelor contestants came out against him and his own girlfriend, his girlfriend, told the media that
00:08:57.140
he was defending racism and it's unacceptable. Much of this after his apology. And they still all
00:09:03.140
lined up to throw him onto the bus. Because the apology is never enough. And this is why I bring
00:09:09.160
this story up. And I think it's worth reflecting on. We are way past the point of saying simply that
00:09:15.880
people these days are unforgiving or that they fail to forgive or they fail to show grace. We are way
00:09:22.820
past that. We're at a point now where forgiveness is ruled out categorically. To even advocate
00:09:31.100
for it is a sin just as bad as whatever sin you're saying should be forgiven. Even if the original sin
00:09:39.000
was no sin at all, which most of the time it isn't. See, what this is really about and has always been
00:09:45.620
about is cultural dominance. The woke police, as Chris Harrison called them in that interview back
00:09:52.960
when he was pretending to have some semblance of a spine, the woke police are looking for any
00:09:58.340
opportunity to impose their will. And that's really what this is about. To punish those who deviate
00:10:03.360
from the path that the woke mob has prescribed for all of our lives. And that explains the seemingly
00:10:10.420
sort of weird fact that oftentimes the people who defend the canceled person will get canceled even
00:10:16.980
harder than the original cancelee. It's because the defender is making a more direct and explicit
00:10:23.200
attack on the woke mob's tactics and therefore its authority. Even if that attack is still
00:10:29.380
extremely circumspect and peppered with all kinds of qualifiers and clauses and so on as it was with
00:10:35.080
Chris Harrison. Doesn't matter. Anyone who dares to speak up and say, no, you know, I don't think you
00:10:41.280
guys should be doing it this way. Anyone who does that will get the harshest treatment of all.
00:10:46.900
Harrison's girlfriend knew that. That's why she threw him right under the bus.
00:10:50.120
All the contestants on the show. Everybody gets the message. Right? And that's how this is supposed to
00:10:57.040
work. I said last week that the woke mob takes your scalp. Once it cancels you, they take the scalp
00:11:05.640
and they nail it to their wall as a trophy. Well, I was actually wrong. That's actually not exactly
00:11:10.180
correct. I think it's truer to say that they take off your head and they put it on a pike and leave it
00:11:16.220
on the outskirts of town as a warning to any other challengers. That's really what it is. It's
00:11:23.060
ruthless. It's bloodthirsty and it's extremely effective. And to stand up to them, to really
00:11:31.220
stand up against them, to really defy them will take a lot more courage and backbone than the host
00:11:37.540
of The Bachelor apparently possesses. No big surprise there, I suppose. Now let's get to our five
00:11:44.620
headlines. Before we go any further, a quick word from our very good friends over at PragerU. You
00:11:54.500
know, you think about the education system, all the problems that are there. We've spent many shows
00:11:59.180
talking about it. Critical race theory, choosing your own gender, the gender theory nonsense, climate
00:12:04.500
change, doom and gloom, the attack on American history, all of that. And the left-wing nonsense
00:12:10.300
is now taught from kindergarten through grad school. They don't wait until high school now. It's like
00:12:15.480
they start all the way in kindergarten. It's turning kids into left-wing activists by indoctrinating them
00:12:20.140
before they have the psychological capability to sort through fiction and fable that they're taught
00:12:31.360
in schools. Millions of kids have to attend these schools and this is what they're subjected to. And
00:12:35.680
this is why we need to fight back. My friends at PragerU know exactly what we're up against and
00:12:40.040
they're doing something about it right now. Several of us here at The Daily Wire are featured in
00:12:44.160
PragerU videos. PragerU knows how to educate millions of young people like no other non-profit.
00:12:49.880
Now PragerU is taking on K-12 education with PragerU resources for educators and parents known
00:12:55.400
as PrEP. If you are a parent or a teacher, you need to join this group today. There's no time to
00:13:01.220
waste. This is the most powerful community of conservative parents and educators in America.
00:13:05.960
You can join PrEP at PragerU.com forward slash PrEP. That's P-R-E-P. I can't recommend this highly
00:13:12.560
enough. Again, teacher or a parent, you need to be prepared. You need to have the resources. With PrEP,
00:13:17.880
you'll save our children from this leftist brainwashing. Best of all, you'll join thousands of
00:13:22.240
members already working together to make sure education reflects our values as it should.
00:13:27.400
We need you on our side. This is what our strength is going to be. Our strength is in numbers. We have
00:13:32.060
the numbers. What we need now though is to come together as a community. That's what PrEP is all
00:13:36.360
about. Join PrEP today by going right now to PragerU.com forward slash PrEP. So a big ice storm here in
00:13:44.500
Nashville. That's why none of us are in the studio right now because of the big ice storm. And when I say
00:13:51.120
big ice storm, I mean, we got some freezing rain and some sleet and there's a little bit of snow on
00:13:57.560
the ground. But this is my first winter in Nashville and I come from up north. Now, when I say up north,
00:14:04.340
I mean like the mid-Atlantic region. I'm not talking Alaska, right? But even comparing it to that by those
00:14:12.300
standards, this is really nothing. You know, I can remember many a time, many a time, many a winter
00:14:16.720
winter in Maryland. You wake up in the morning, there's some freezing rain, there's some sleet
00:14:21.240
overnight and you say, oh, okay. And you just go about your day. You know, you just go, you drive,
00:14:25.920
you can do whatever you want to do. My first winter in Nashville and I'm discovering that it doesn't
00:14:34.880
quite work that way around here. You get a little bit of freezing rain and it shuts everything down.
00:14:39.740
Everything is shut down. And it's not just that the city fails to treat the roads. No salt,
00:14:48.420
no pretreatment. In fact, yesterday morning, when it had just first started, it was a little bit of
00:14:54.160
freezing rain. And because like I said, I'm used to it a certain way. So I woke up and I had to run to
00:14:59.140
the store and I thought, well, whatever. What am I going to stay home because of some freezing rain?
00:15:02.760
Ridiculous. And so I go out on the road and it's like the apocalypse. There are already cars strewn
00:15:10.260
all over the highway. People hitting guardrails, hitting each other, skidding, sliding, because I
00:15:17.580
had done no pretreatment on the roads at all. No salt, nothing. And on top of that, people are speeding
00:15:22.740
through like it's warm and sunny out. And I always, you see those kinds of signs on the highway
00:15:31.100
sometimes. Signs that say like bridge is slippery when wet and that sort of thing. And I always see
00:15:35.640
those signs and think, well, who actually needs that sign? Doesn't everyone understand water makes
00:15:41.040
the road slippery? Ice, ice is slippery, water is slippery. And now I'm seeing that, no, I guess
00:15:45.680
this is, there are some people who need the signs because people flying down the road with ice on the
00:15:51.200
road and it makes it totally hazardous. So now after a day of that, it's total shutdown here. And we might be,
00:15:58.840
I don't know, it might be six months before we can go out on the road again. We'll see.
00:16:06.620
All right. Number one, Donald Trump, as you I'm sure heard, acquitted in a Senate trial,
00:16:11.140
57 votes to convict, 43 to acquit. And so that makes it his record second acquittal. And I think
00:16:19.760
the thing, I didn't pay a lot of attention. I paid about as much attention to this impeachment trial
00:16:25.960
as I did to the last one. And, uh, I didn't pay any attention to that one. So I paid very little
00:16:30.880
attention, but I will say my analysis of the thing that I didn't really watch is that what sealed the
00:16:37.140
deal probably for getting him the acquittal was, um, when Trump's lawyers brought up all the times
00:16:43.960
that the Democrats had blatantly condoned and encouraged rioting. And that really does matter.
00:16:50.360
Yeah. It's, this is not what about ism. It does matter when, when, when the people who are putting
00:16:56.280
you on trial for a certain thing that you allegedly did actually did the thing that they're accusing you
00:17:03.120
of doing. And we've got hours of video of them doing it. Yeah, that matters. Of course, that's going to
00:17:09.760
be brought up. Um, they, they just don't have the, the, the grounds to make this kind of charge against
00:17:22.300
anyone when they spent months and months and months in a much more explicit fashion, encouraging and
00:17:29.940
condoning rioting. The only thing that made it, the only thing that stopped it from being completely
00:17:35.500
explicit is that they renamed rioting unrest. And then they took that word unrest and went ahead and
00:17:43.920
absolutely, um, defended it and condoned it and encouraged it and said, we need more of it.
00:17:52.200
Representative Jamie, Jamie Raskin kind of looking for the bright side says that, well,
00:17:56.560
at least we got Trump to admit that he's a former president. Listen, it is what it is. Uh, Mitch
00:18:03.040
McConnell clearly feels that, uh, Donald Trump remains a huge problem for the Republican party,
00:18:08.160
even if he has been disgraced in the eyes of the country. And, uh, that is not my jurisdiction.
00:18:13.680
And I really don't have anything to say about that. I think, you know, they will, uh, have to deal
00:18:19.200
with the political dynamics, uh, within their, within their own party. So, um, we did get, um,
00:18:27.240
we did get Donald Trump at least to admit that he's a former president now. So that's good news.
00:18:32.880
Uh, he's not asserting that somehow he's still president. Um, and they're recognizing at least
00:18:37.920
in a de facto sense, um, the legitimacy of this presidential election, which of course,
00:18:43.320
president Biden won by more than 7 million votes and by a margin, um, of 306 to 232,
00:18:50.060
306 to 232 in the electoral college. Well, it's one thing, at least grasping at straws,
00:18:56.300
you, you, you take what you can get, I suppose. Meanwhile, Eric Swalwell, um, in reaction to the
00:19:02.140
decision found a way to be a bigger tool than usual. He's always, he's always a tool we know,
00:19:08.460
but he, he always finds a way. It's kind of impressive. He finds a way to up the ante
00:19:12.220
and he really did. He really did this time. Listen, the choice was, well, do we chase those
00:19:19.780
people not knowing what they're going to say to the courts for years, or do we go forward with a
00:19:25.300
powerful thundering case that we have? And also knowing that Mitch McConnell was already telling
00:19:30.120
us that he believed the challenge was a jurisdictional one. So we could have called
00:19:34.060
God herself and the Republicans weren't going to be willing to convict. So we're proud of the case
00:19:38.560
we put forward. God herself, God herself. Well, Eric Swalwell is just deciding for God what his new
00:19:47.180
pronouns are going to be. I guess we, we're no more respecting the pronouns. He's just decided.
00:19:52.800
It's not even like Swalwell is going with some sort of gender neutral thing because he's saying,
00:19:57.840
well, we, you know, we don't really know what, what gender God is or God is, is beyond gender.
00:20:03.440
Um, that's not even what he's doing. He's just assigning different, he's still, he's still going
00:20:08.060
with the gender, but he's just assigning a different one to God and saying that this is going to be
00:20:11.720
God's gender now because, because I said so. And of course, if you're a Democrat, you don't really
00:20:18.740
believe in God anyway, no matter what you say, then, um, then it doesn't, doesn't make a difference
00:20:22.500
as far as you're concerned. Okay. Number two from CNN, um, Ravi Zacharias, uh, the prominent head
00:20:28.840
of a global Christian organization who died in May and engaged in sexual misconduct that included
00:20:34.640
sexting, unwanted touching, spiritual abuse, and rape. According to a statement from the,
00:20:39.320
from the ministry he founded, summarizing the results of an investigative report. So this is
00:20:43.740
from his own ministry saying this, um, allegations came from four female massage therapists who said
00:20:50.980
Zacharias quote, would either touch his genitals or ask them to touch, ask them to touch his genitals.
00:20:56.500
Additionally, five massage therapists claimed quote, he touched or rubbed them inappropriately. And one
00:21:01.280
reported quote, many encounters over a period of years that she described as rape, according to a 12 page
00:21:06.000
report from the law firm, Miller and Martin, which was hired by the ministry. Um, the law firm said it
00:21:11.740
employed a private investigation firm that included former federal law enforcement officers. More than
00:21:17.260
50 people were interviewed, including more than a dozen massage therapists, according to the report.
00:21:23.420
Um, several women accused Zacharias of using ministry funds to give them financial support,
00:21:28.700
eliciting personal information about their lives and employing religious language during encounters,
00:21:32.620
according to the report. Uh, and then it, it goes on to all the, all of the, um,
00:21:39.740
all of the gross and disturbing details. You can look it up if you want. I,
00:21:43.640
I, now maybe depending on, you know, depending on how closely you follow Christian apologetics,
00:21:52.460
uh, you, you know, maybe you've heard of Ravi Zacharias, maybe you haven't, but he's, he was a
00:21:57.380
very prominent Christian apologist. Um, and so this is, it's sort of exhausting to see this kind of
00:22:04.460
thing from Christian leaders. I, I think we're exhausted by it, aren't we? Every time you see it
00:22:10.380
now, your first reaction is another one. Jeez. Um, and in this case, now I can't, I wasn't the, you know,
00:22:18.900
I wasn't like a follower of Ravi Zacharias. Um, but just, I like to watch debates, Christian debates
00:22:27.500
and talks and lectures and those sorts of things on YouTube. And so I've come across a lot of Ravi
00:22:32.620
Zacharias. I've watched some of it. Uh, I always thought he was pretty good in that role. And so
00:22:38.260
even with that little bit of exposure to him, I saw this and my first reaction was to be sort of
00:22:42.700
shocked, not him to him. But of course, then you realize there's no, there's no cause for being
00:22:50.000
surprised or shocked because in reality, you think about how many people in your life do you really
00:22:57.200
know, right? How many, how many people in your life do you really actually know? How many people
00:23:03.140
in the world? I should say, do you really actually know? It's like almost, almost none of the people
00:23:06.520
in the world. Do you know the actual people, you know, people closest to you, the people that are
00:23:12.360
absolutely closest to you in your own life, hopefully your spouse, your kids, you know,
00:23:16.800
um, very close friends. Those are the ones, you know, and everybody else, you really don't. You
00:23:22.960
see someone on YouTube, you, you know, you, you, you listen to them, you, whatever it is, um, public
00:23:29.960
figure, even if you've been following them for years, you still don't really know anything about
00:23:34.580
them. All you see is what they present on camera. And, um, that doesn't tell you much at all.
00:23:38.900
So there's no cause actually for being surprised. Um, but even so it's extremely disappointing
00:23:48.040
and disheartening to see this from yet another, another one of these people.
00:23:53.500
Number three, Democrat president Joe Biden called on Congress to clamp down on Americans
00:23:59.020
constitutionally protected second amendment rights on Sunday is from daily wire demanding
00:24:03.060
gun bans and new laws that will allow people to sue gun manufacturers. Biden wrote to Congress,
00:24:08.340
I'm calling on Congress to enact common sense gun law reforms, including requiring background checks
00:24:13.080
on all gun sales, banning assault weapons and high capacity magazines and eliminating immunity
00:24:17.700
for gun manufacturers who knowingly put weapons of war on our streets. Uh, a more common sense gun
00:24:23.320
reform that he's calling for. And, you know, I, I, I have to say, of course, I'm concerned about this
00:24:32.520
because we've got Democrat control of the government and we know that they're going to make a play
00:24:37.620
against gun rights and gun rights. Of course, one of the most crucial rights that we have. So I'm
00:24:42.440
concerned about it from, from that angle, but looked at another way. I'm actually not all that concerned
00:24:48.400
about it because, and maybe I'm being naive and, and, uh, and hopelessly optimistic. I don't know.
00:24:54.700
Sometimes I'm accused of that. Not very often though, but I'm not, I'm not terribly concerned about it
00:24:59.380
because, because this is like the one area gun rights where the rights conservatives have actually
00:25:09.000
stood their ground and put the line in the sand and said, you're not going to cross here.
00:25:14.700
And the left has been trying. I mean, I'll think about all through the Obama years, eight years
00:25:20.020
through the Obama years, how hard they tried every time there was a school shooting or anything that
00:25:25.700
they could exploit. And they made very little progress in that direction. They have gotten a
00:25:33.640
few things through. There have been a few assaults on gun rights that were more effective than all the
00:25:37.900
others. But for the most part, they have not, this has been the, this has been maybe the one area
00:25:42.880
where the left has consistently failed. And so I'm going to say, I think they'll fail again
00:25:48.860
because that line in the sand, this is, this is the, the one issue where conservatives have simply said,
00:25:59.580
I'm not going to budge. We're not going to compromise on this. We're not going to let you have it. Nope.
00:26:04.300
And so no matter, really it's no matter what gun control, uh, policy is proposed, doesn't matter
00:26:12.940
what it is. Most conservatives will say, I don't care. I'm not even going to listen because I'm not
00:26:18.000
going to, we're not going to go along with it. We're not going to let you take any of this.
00:26:23.360
And that's great. This is not a complaint on my, my part at all. That's fantastic. I only wish we
00:26:28.480
could do that with, I don't know, everything else. I wish we could have that approach and that
00:26:34.180
attitude with every other issue, especially issues that are more fundamental and more important than
00:26:39.780
gun rights. Like for example, life, protecting the, the right to life or to protecting the dignity of
00:26:46.860
life. Um, I, I wish we could take that same approach on something like abortion. We're not
00:26:54.240
going to budge. We're not going to let you have this. Of course, it's, it's way too late now for us
00:26:59.460
to say, you're not going to have this. They've already taken it, but we can still be that aggressive
00:27:03.700
and that firm on life, on protecting the family, on protecting children. So I think we should look
00:27:10.880
at what's happened with gun rights, um, and gun rights advocates and what they're doing. And we
00:27:16.480
should emulate that with every other issue. Stand firm. Don't give an inch. We're not going to compromise.
00:27:23.220
We're not going to give you anything. Uh, number four, there was a viral clip last week of Tom Brady
00:27:29.460
celebrating his Superbowl win. And at one point he tosses the Lombardi trophy from his boat to another
00:27:34.620
boat where other players are. He actually tosses the, the, the whole trophy, um, across the water
00:27:40.900
and to another boat. And the people there catch the, uh, the trophy is great throw, great catch.
00:27:47.060
Very exciting. But for whatever reason, the media tracked down the daughter of the guy who designed
00:27:52.680
the Lombardi trophy originally, and she was not pleased. And it takes a lot of work, a lot of hard
00:27:59.880
work. Um, a lot of hours go into it. It just really upset me that this trophy was disgraced and
00:28:07.920
disrespected by being thrown as if it was a real football. I didn't sleep for the past two nights
00:28:12.920
because of this. I was that upset because I, I know the passion that goes into this trophy
00:28:18.720
and how my dad and all his fellow silversmiths are so proud to make this. I personally would like
00:28:27.140
an apology, not just to me and my family and the other silversmiths, um, but to the, to the fans.
00:28:36.200
Two nights. She was up for two nights. Two nights. She was up thinking about this.
00:28:42.920
Pretty amazing. But why are we, why would you even think to go talk to this woman? Who cares what
00:28:51.560
she thinks about, or her dad designed the original Lombardi trophy. So what? Okay.
00:28:56.700
Now we need her opinion about Tom Brady throwing a Lombardi trophy. I don't really see the connection,
00:29:01.460
but you know, this is what the media does. You got to find a controversy anywhere you can. If they
00:29:07.500
have, if the modern American media has any talent at all, that's it. Just to take any banal
00:29:12.600
occurrence and find a way to make it controversial. Number five. Finally, Cardi B sparked her own
00:29:19.240
controversy last week with this tweet. She said, yes, men do deserve to get a gift as well for
00:29:24.940
Valentine's day, but the gift has to be less expensive than the girl's gift. So if he buys
00:29:30.800
you flowers, you buy him grass. Right. Now we're going to leave aside all the misspellings. And she
00:29:37.900
used T H E N instead of T H A N. Uh, so we'll put all that aside, but here's the, here's the thing
00:29:43.920
with this. And I, and I'm, I'm not the first one to point this out at all. So I'm going to echo
00:29:47.440
the sentiments of, uh, of many others when I say this, but, um, no Cardi B. So you don't get to do
00:29:53.060
this. You, you don't get to do this. You see, you can't go with the empowered, independent,
00:29:59.360
feminist woman schtick in one second. And then the next second do this where you expect the man
00:30:05.420
to pay more or, you know, to, to do more for Valentine's day than you do. You really, you really
00:30:11.580
do have to choose. It's going to be one or the other. If you, you know, if, if women are exactly
00:30:17.540
equal to men, and by that, I mean the same as just they're interchangeable, which is what the left
00:30:24.680
beliefs men and women are interchangeable. There's no real difference between them. Um, and if, if
00:30:31.180
it's all about being empowered and independent and you don't need no man, and you certainly don't need
00:30:35.760
a man to protect and provide for you, then, you know, it's, you're going to, you're going to pay
00:30:40.200
the same. You're going to pay the same for gifts. You're going to pay the same when you go out to eat.
00:30:45.920
Uh, that's the way it's going to go. You can't, you can't try to, you know, cherry pick here and
00:30:51.420
let's, let's, let's take the bit, the best parts of left-wing feminism. We'll take that for ourselves,
00:30:56.680
but then also the best parts of chivalry. We're going to take that too. Nope. Doesn't work. One
00:31:03.420
or the other, one of the other. Now it happens to be my, my personal opinion that, yeah, that, well,
00:31:09.500
Valentine's day is a silly, silly holiday anyway, fake holiday anyway. But, um, certainly,
00:31:15.620
uh, my opinion is the woman should get, the man doesn't really, you don't need a gift at all for,
00:31:22.580
for Valentine's day if you're a man. It's sort of embarrassing to get a gift. You certainly,
00:31:25.720
you certainly shouldn't expect or, or want a gift. Uh, but I can have that perspective
00:31:31.420
because I don't subscribe to left-wing feminism. So there's no conflict for me. There's no
00:31:36.140
contradiction. There is for you. So you need to choose. All right, let's go to comments. We're
00:31:40.980
going to read the YouTube comments now. Of course, the most, uh, the newest, the latest,
00:31:44.580
the greatest segment on the show. Some of the comments on the, on the YouTube show last week
00:31:49.760
on Friday, this is from, uh, Colella says, who needs Disney plus anyway, when the Matt
00:31:54.880
Wall show is available for free? And then some sort of emoji, but then you included that emoji.
00:32:01.460
So I don't know what that is. This is one of my problems with emojis. One of the reasons I hate
00:32:05.680
emojis is I, I, I can never tell exactly what they're supposed to mean. Um, so this is the Matt
00:32:11.860
Wall show is available for free. And then it's an emoji of someone sort of smirking and looking to
00:32:16.800
the side. Is that your word? Is that, is that to communicate sarcasm? See, I don't know. You
00:32:22.280
could have just attacked me for all I know. And I'm not sure. Phillip says, Hey Matt, looking for
00:32:26.600
advice on flannel shirts. I have several, but I'm not sure if any are giving off that I'm here to
00:32:31.100
party vibe. And by party, I mean, conservative Catholic settle down and have kids and prefer to be
00:32:36.140
home by nine. Well, you can't go wrong with flannels as you can tell. Uh, that that's the
00:32:42.020
whole attraction with flannels is if you, if you have, if you're a man, you have no sense of style
00:32:46.640
whatsoever. Throw on a flannel, throw on the jeans and you're good to go. Joseph says, Morgan Wallen
00:32:53.360
inspired me to learn how to play guitar. And this is just incredible. His music is wonderful and I
00:32:57.800
support him a hundred percent. Um, yeah, I've got a lot of comments like that. We've talked about the
00:33:02.460
Morgan Wallen situation. And, um, I never really, I'll be honest. I didn't even know who he was
00:33:09.060
because I don't, I don't really follow country music. I didn't even know who he was until all
00:33:12.160
this happened. But a lot of comments from people saying big fans of his music, big supporters of
00:33:18.060
his, that's the other thing to keep in mind when you're getting canceled. Um, that probably,
00:33:27.160
especially if they're, if they're, if you're being canceled over some ticky tack thing,
00:33:30.700
the people who are attacking you and coming after you, they, they were never supporters to begin
00:33:37.300
with. So maybe it feels like public opinion has changed or there's people are turning against you.
00:33:45.240
And maybe in the case of Chris Harrison, that's really true. His own girlfriend came out against
00:33:49.120
him, but it might, it might sort of depend on what circles you run in. But, uh, for someone like
00:33:54.180
Morgan Wallen, who's apologized multiple times now, his actual fans, I really doubt that any of them,
00:34:01.940
uh, turned against him and started calling him a racist because of this.
00:34:06.380
So these were all people who probably like me, I'd never even heard of him before.
00:34:10.260
And now they're saying, Oh, that Morgan Wallen is a real racist. Who cares what they think?
00:34:14.040
Uh, Jimmy Jim Jim says, Hey Matt, I've heard you say you won't get the coronavirus vaccine. Why is
00:34:20.880
that? How do you feel about vaccines in general? And why do you get the flu vaccine? I'd love to
00:34:25.520
hear your thoughts on this. I think a lot of us would. The reason why I'm not going to get the
00:34:29.560
coronavirus vaccine is simply because I don't, I don't personally feel like I need it. I'm not in a
00:34:34.300
high risk category. I think I may have already had the coronavirus back in February of last year.
00:34:38.960
Um, and whether I did or didn't, um, I'm not in a high risk category. There's a, there's a very low
00:34:45.640
chance that I would have any serious, any very serious reaction to the coronavirus to begin with.
00:34:50.680
And so I don't, I simply don't feel like for me, it's something that I need, but that that's a
00:34:55.560
choice that I can make. I should be able to make and everyone can make their own choices. And that's
00:35:01.020
my opinion on vaccines in general, whether it's the coronavirus vaccine, the flu vaccine, or the
00:35:05.240
vaccine for anything else. You make the decision for yourself. If you're a parent, you make the
00:35:09.900
decision for your child and people should make their own decisions. It depends on what you think
00:35:16.140
your, your risk category is, uh, what you're comfortable doing because you are injecting
00:35:22.540
something into your body or having something injected into your kid's body. And no, I don't
00:35:26.540
think you should do it if you're not comfortable with it. Um, if you are, then go ahead. So that's it.
00:35:31.700
That's my, that's my whole perspective on vaccines. If you want to take it, do, if you don't, don't
00:35:36.200
do what you feel like is right for you. Uh, I, I really don't have an opinion about if someone else
00:35:41.660
should get a vaccine. That's up to them to decide. Uh, and finally Malachi says, Matt, you should
00:35:49.000
really stop banning people from the show. You won't have any listeners left. Well, Malachi, you know,
00:35:54.860
what's going to happen now because of that comment, you are banned. Quick word now from our
00:36:01.320
friends at rock auto. You know, if you have car problems, if you have car trouble, there are a
00:36:05.780
couple of ways you can go about solving that problem. You can go get in your car, drive to an
00:36:09.840
auto parts store, look around for what you need, uh, pay more than you need to. There's not a great
00:36:15.280
selection. Maybe they don't have what you need. They got to order it anyway. You're dealing with
00:36:18.780
all these questions from the person there at the store. You can do that, or you could just grab your
00:36:23.980
phone out of your pocket or go to your laptop on your desk and go to rockauto.com and find everything
00:36:29.400
you could possibly need. Rockauto.com always offers the lowest prices possible rather than
00:36:34.000
changing prices based on what they think the market will bear like airlines do. Um, why spend up to
00:36:39.200
twice as much for the same parts? That's the really simple question you have to ask yourself. I don't
00:36:42.900
think you can come up with a good reason to do that. Uh, rockauto.com is a family business. They've
00:36:47.140
been serving auto parts customers online for 20 years. Go to rockauto.com to shop for auto and body
00:36:52.300
parts from hundreds of manufacturers. Best of all, the prices at rockauto.com are always reliably low
00:36:58.220
and the same for professionals or do-it-yourselfers. Why spend up to twice as much for the same
00:37:03.360
parts? Again, there's no reason at all to do that. Amazing selection, reliably low prices,
00:37:07.880
all the parts your car will ever need at rockauto.com. Go to rockauto.com right now. See all the parts
00:37:14.860
available for your car or truck and remember to write Walsh in there. How did you hear about us
00:37:18.620
box? So they know that we sent you. As I'm sure you know, actress Gina Carano has been making her
00:37:25.020
way through the news cycle recently. She was the star of the hit Disney Plus show, The Mandalorian.
00:37:29.740
She was dropped from the series and by her talent agency for criticizing the woke Hollywood mob. So
00:37:36.040
they sort of proved her point then by, by canceling her. At one point in time, this would have been
00:37:40.460
another conservative voice silenced out of the entertainment world, but that's no longer the
00:37:43.960
case. It doesn't work that way now because The Daily Wire rejects cancel culture and everything it
00:37:48.260
stands for and we're prepared to fight back. So that's why we just announced a new movie deal with Gina.
00:37:53.120
Gina, that's correct. She'll be developing, producing and starring in an upcoming film that
00:37:57.100
will be released exclusively to Daily Wire members. This is pretty exciting. You know, we, we, we've all
00:38:01.600
said it. Conservatives need to do more than complain and critique. We need to step, we need to stop
00:38:06.300
running away from the culture. We need to be creators and influencers that challenge the leftist
00:38:12.140
narrative in Hollywood. And we do that by creating good art that stands on its own in the world of
00:38:17.920
entertainment. And that's what we're going to do. We bring in Gina. Disney Plus has 8 billion,
00:38:22.060
dollars to spend per year. We have you. They've got 8 billion bucks. We've got you. So join us
00:38:28.540
today in the fight to take back our culture. Go to dailywire.com slash subscribe and use code
00:38:34.760
Gina. That's G I N A to get 25% off your membership today. Make sure to do that. This is the way
00:38:41.340
let's get to our daily cancellation. Today we're going to cancel Cosmo again. Cosmopolitan magazine
00:38:51.400
is getting canceled. This will make, I believe their fourth or fifth or sixth, I don't know,
00:38:55.200
cancellation. So far they're behind only, uh, Alexandria, Queza, Cortez and my own family members
00:39:00.500
for total number of cancellations. This one is richly, richly deserved. The most deserved of all,
00:39:08.260
in fact. And I should warn you ahead of time, if you're listening to this show with a little kids
00:39:12.380
anywhere with an earshot, maybe hit that pause button and circle back as Jen Psaki would say,
00:39:18.120
because this is, this is graphic and disturbing stuff. I'll tell you ahead of time. Yet there's
00:39:22.400
an important takeaway. So, um, I think it may be worth wading into this swamp for the takeaway.
00:39:28.960
Maybe worth, we'll see. For some background, Armie Hammer is an actor who, along with having maybe
00:39:35.160
the greatest name of all time, also has starred in a number of films. I couldn't tell you what any
00:39:39.780
of those films are, but trust me, he starred in them, whatever they are. Well, it's come out,
00:39:45.020
uh, though nobody was asking, that Armie Hammer allegedly has a cannibalism fetish.
00:39:50.780
One of his ex-girlfriends reported, quote, um, he said to me he wants to break my rib and barbecue
00:39:55.880
and eat it. Not the kind of thing you say in a first date or really any date. You know,
00:40:02.100
I'm not sure in the cannibalism community what the standard etiquette really is. Like,
00:40:07.060
when do you tell your girlfriend or boyfriend that you want to consume them? Maybe you bring
00:40:11.620
it up while eating. Could provide the nice conversation transition. You know, like,
00:40:16.840
hey, uh, speaking of dinner, I wanted to ask you something. Anyway, I joke because that's how I deal
00:40:23.700
with insanely disturbing things. Cosmo had a different method, though. Their way of dealing with
00:40:28.740
it was to throw up in their arms and embrace it totally. Which brings us to this article with
00:40:34.100
the headline, yes, there's a safe way to have a cannibalism fetish. The Armie Hammer stories,
00:40:40.040
not it. Now, you would, of course, assume that this is a guest op-ed written by Hannibal Lecter
00:40:47.020
or something, but no, it's from Maria del Russo based on a conversation with someone named
00:40:51.980
Jet Setting Jasmine. The latter is, quote, a fetish educator. How does one get a job as a fetish
00:40:59.960
educator? Uh, what does one do in this job? What does the nine to five look like? How long will it
00:41:08.500
be until universities are actually offering degrees in fetish education? Are they already offering
00:41:13.960
degrees in that, in that field? These are all questions that go unanswered. Here's what the article
00:41:18.600
does say. Um, reading now. Quote, here's what I've been seeing, uh, people get wrong in the
00:41:25.820
conversation about Armie Hammer and the abuse allegations against him. His alleged cannibalism
00:41:30.720
fetish itself isn't the problem. I beg to differ, ma'am. I really do. The problem is if the allegations
00:41:37.400
are true, whether he used his power to groom these women into participating in a lifestyle they had truly
00:41:42.500
not consented to. A cannibalism fetish is characterized by a person who fantasizes about consuming
00:41:48.080
someone or being consumed. The key word is fantasy. The fetish never goes so far as actually eating or
00:41:54.200
killing someone, of course. That'd be illegal. Just having the conversation around eating someone and
00:41:59.660
being sexually stimulated by that is considered a cannibalism fetish. Just having the conversation.
00:42:06.560
When you bring up cannibalism, the other person shouldn't be disturbed. It's like, hey, hey, hey,
00:42:10.520
I'm just having a conversation about eating you. That's it. It's, it's only a conversation.
00:42:15.900
Sit back down, okay? Everything will be fine. Now, okay, so if you got that, it's illegal,
00:42:23.680
right? Actually killing and eating someone is illegal, and that's why you shouldn't do it. You
00:42:28.080
shouldn't kill or eat someone because it's illegal. Not because it's completely evil, sick, twisted,
00:42:32.940
depraved, disgusting, the most barbaric act a person can possibly commit. No, because it's illegal.
00:42:42.180
Once the allegations against Hammer blew up the internet, all the media attention zeroed in on
00:42:46.240
the word cannibalism. Well, yeah, that tends to stick out. That's one of those things we tend
00:42:52.720
to notice when you throw cannibalism into a story. People are going to, people are going to focus on
00:42:56.600
it. That's the way it goes. She says, we were totally titillated by the taboo, but I'd like to
00:43:02.680
offer a different framework. One where we understand Hammer's alleged behavior as troubled, but not
00:43:06.780
necessarily because of the C word. Well, because of the potential absence of another C word,
00:43:11.980
consent. Any form of grooming into a lifestyle without consent is a violation. Consent is the
00:43:16.680
difference between BDSM and non-BDSM encounters. We cannot actually consider an encounter true BDSM
00:43:23.680
if there isn't consent involved. The minute that a hookup does not have clear consent, it has already
00:43:28.860
fallen out of BDSM and into an inappropriate interaction. Okay, you see consent. That's all that
00:43:35.540
matters here. And we'll get back to that in a minute, but let me read one more part. All right.
00:43:40.480
What is a consensual form of cannibalism look like? Well, here it is. A consensual form of BDSM play
00:43:47.580
featuring a cannibalism fetish would go like this. Somebody might say, I know I can't actually eat
00:43:52.840
your hand off, but I can suck your fingers until you tell me to stop, to stop or nibble on you.
00:43:58.120
Blood play is another fetish called hematolagmia, and that can present as someone being turned on by
00:44:05.420
any form of blood during sex. Okay. I told you it was going to get disturbing. There it is.
00:44:11.820
Quick tip here. If you ever find yourself uttering the sentence, I know I can't actually
00:44:17.380
eat your hand off, but stop right there. You have gone to a dark place because nothing good can come
00:44:25.260
after that but. That is one sentence that should not require a but. Okay. So what's the point here?
00:44:32.060
What's the takeaway besides that Cosmo is a degenerate publication that pushes filth and
00:44:36.220
garbage? Well, that's one takeaway. The other takeaway is that this is the absolute depths
00:44:40.780
of insanity, of wickedness, of evil, of perversion that we sink to as a culture when consent is the
00:44:49.040
only sexual ethic we recognize. Right. If the only moral rule governing your sexual exploits is simply
00:44:57.140
that the other person has to verbally agree to be a part of it, then it's pretty much guaranteed
00:45:02.840
that you'll end up in dark, dark places. Hopefully not all the way in a prison cell with a bite mask
00:45:09.280
on your face giving a detective tips on how to catch a serial killer, but still, you know, dark places.
00:45:14.960
But this has been the direction we've gone as a culture for a long time. We've stripped away the
00:45:19.680
entire moral framework from the sexual act, leaving only consent. And then we're shocked to find
00:45:26.020
ourselves surrounded by freaks and weirdos. We're also shocked to find that people are constantly
00:45:30.380
left feeling abused and used in their sexual relationships, even when there was no actual
00:45:35.540
abuse by legal standards. So putting cannibalism to the side for a moment, why do you think there
00:45:41.160
are so many cases of women having consensual encounters with men and then later saying it was
00:45:46.400
non-consensual, that it was rape? I mean, some of it is, is pure cruelty, manipulation, deceit,
00:45:52.740
false accusations, and all that. But I think there's something else happening too. I think in many cases
00:45:57.240
people have consensual encounters, but wake up in the next morning feeling used and cheap and degraded.
00:46:07.100
And then because consent is the only ethical language we have for sex, they figure that it must mean that
00:46:13.400
consent was not real consent. Because that's the, that is the only moral standard, the only moral
00:46:19.640
rule. And so if you wake up feeling bad the next day, you figure, well, that, that rule must have
00:46:25.100
been violated. Even if it wasn't, it must have been. The truth is this, consent is simple, right? If you
00:46:33.580
agree to do something, whatever it is, you consented. Unless that agreement was forced or coerced,
00:46:40.480
but then that's not really agreement. So if there is actual agreement, then that's consent, whatever it
00:46:48.300
is, period. But then why do people consent and later still feel so terrible, so degraded? Well, because
00:46:56.800
consensual sex can still be terrible and degrading. It's legal, it's not rape, but the sexual act in
00:47:05.240
modern culture has become an occasion for both partners or however many partners to consensually
00:47:11.220
use each other, to treat each other like objects. And sex becomes glorified masturbation. And this is
00:47:18.800
a bad thing. It's consensual, but it's bad. See, it's possible for sex to be consensual and bad at the
00:47:26.560
same time. But we've decided that consent is the only rule, the only standard. We don't have the language to
00:47:33.200
communicate on this anymore. We don't even have the language to explain why a cannibalism fetish is
00:47:39.960
bad, even though almost all of us innately know that it is. But in modern culture today, I think
00:47:46.460
most people will read that article and be horrified. Even people on the left will read that article and
00:47:50.480
be horrified by it. But if they've bought into this framework, they're going to find that, okay,
00:47:56.260
they're going to say to themselves, yeah, this seems disgusting and wrong to me, but I can't figure out
00:48:00.840
why it is. I couldn't possibly explain why it is. Because, yeah, if they consent, then I guess
00:48:06.880
that's it. It's fine. Two consenting adults, right? That's all that matters. Let me suggest some other
00:48:14.040
language that we could use in relation to sex. Love, devotion, commitment. Here's a big one. Dignity.
00:48:23.020
We don't like these words. We're scared of them. But this is the proper framework for the sexual act.
00:48:27.900
The sexual act should be loving, devoted, committed. And it should be respecting of our own and the
00:48:34.440
other's dignity. And here's the great thing. If you have these bases covered, right, then consent comes
00:48:41.800
with it. You don't need to talk about consent. It's a really basic part of the love, dignity,
00:48:48.020
devotion package. You don't need to say, well, sex should be loving, devoted, there should be dignity,
00:48:52.400
and there should be consent. Because that is already part of all of those other things.
00:48:57.620
Obviously, if you're having sex with someone without their consent, then it's not loving,
00:49:01.300
devoted, and it's not respecting of their dignity. So that's already part of it.
00:49:06.400
So make sure that you're only having sex with a person that you love and are devoted to and are
00:49:12.400
committed to, i.e. married to, and that you're preserving their and your own dignity. Do that,
00:49:18.640
and you won't wake up the next morning feeling awful and cheap and used and wondering if even
00:49:24.120
though you gave consent, maybe you didn't really give consent. Also, you won't have to worry about
00:49:28.840
your sexual partner, you know, trying to cook you for dinner. So that's, that's another positive.
00:49:35.820
That's another plus. Bring, bring love, devotion, and dignity back into sex. A lot of our problems
00:49:43.100
will be solved if we do that. And Cosmo will go out of business. And that's maybe the best
00:49:48.900
consequence of all. In the meantime, though, Cosmo is canceled. And I have to say, although I
00:49:56.700
shouldn't have to, all cannibals are also definitely canceled. That'll do it for us today. Thanks for
00:50:03.780
