Today on the Matt Wall Show, a school district uses a picture of children sledding without masks on
00:00:05.960
as an excuse to keep schools closed. We'll talk about that. Also, five headlines including
00:00:10.260
Governor Cuomo deflecting blame for his nursing home scandal and more big UFO news out of the
00:00:15.780
Pentagon. And our daily cancellation will cancel a famous male YouTuber for the crime of appropriation.
00:00:21.520
In this case, he is appropriating pregnancy. So we got to cancel him for that. All of that
00:00:30.000

charitymobile.com. So a few weeks ago, we discussed how an epidemic of child suicides in the Las Vegas
00:02:15.620
area had pushed that school system to accelerate its reopening. Now we have a similar story, this time
00:02:22.520
out of San Francisco. As the Daily Wire reports, quote, an alarming number of San Francisco students
00:02:26.960
have committed suicide as a result of the prolonged coronavirus lockdowns, according to a lawsuit
00:02:31.500
filed by the city against the school district on Thursday. The Associated Press reported that the
00:02:37.980
lawsuit filed by San Francisco City Attorney Dennis Herrera includes, quote, alarming testimony from
00:02:43.080
hospitals in the Bay Area, doctors, and parents on the emotional and mental harms of extended distance
00:02:48.980
learning. Then we hear from a parent, Allison Arif, the mother of a 15-year-old daughter, is quoted in
00:02:54.420
the lawsuit as saying she found her daughter, quote, curled up in a fetal position, crying next to her
00:02:59.640
laptop at 11 a.m., that she often cries during the day. Arif added that her daughter is frustrated
00:03:05.920
and losing faith, not just in the school district, but in the world. This is an issue that we've been
00:03:12.100
tracking on this show for months now. It's not confined to Las Vegas and San Francisco. It's nationwide.
00:03:18.280
In fact, there was one story out of Texas. A 12-year-old boy was found hanging. His nine-year-old
00:03:26.040
sister found him hanging only a few days before his 13th birthday. His father says that the child
00:03:32.040
was, quote, sad and lonely and was driven to this point because of the lockdowns. And it's just
00:03:39.780
unthinkable. By the way, this tragedy with the child, with the 12-year-old boy, happened in April.
00:03:49.260
April. In April, after just a month or two, kids were already at this point. Now you tack on another
00:03:56.080
nine, ten months on top of that? Yet many schools are finding any reason, desperately searching for
00:04:03.080
any reason to stay closed. So listen to the latest here. This is almost hard to believe. A mother in
00:04:09.260
New Jersey was angry, as many parents are, that schools in her area were refusing to reopen. So she sent
00:04:16.900
many messages to the superintendent expressing her frustration. This prompted the assistant
00:04:22.860
superintendent to respond, finally, with an email. In the email, he gives his reasons for keeping the
00:04:28.800
schools closed, no matter the psychological effects that it's having on the kids. And he actually places
00:04:33.380
the blame partially on the mother herself and, by extension, on her kids. He writes, quote,
00:04:39.220
this is part of the email. He says, for instance, we know that parents and students are not following
00:04:43.720
the same CDC guidelines that you continue to share with us that detail the importance of social
00:04:48.440
distancing and mask wearing. Case in point, we were provided a number of photos that illustrate
00:04:54.040
the precise reason our school community remains in phase one. As you can see from the attached photos,
00:05:00.280
you and four other adults appear in close proximity without a mask. Further, the photo illustrates 16
00:05:06.460
children all in close proximity without masks. Bottom line, we will not subject our school community to
00:05:12.300
the potential risk and exposure that results from the blatant failure to follow the same guidelines
00:05:17.020
you are asking us to reference. So the district assistant superintendent somehow obtained or was
00:05:24.740
sent these photos of the mother and her child along with other family members, and they were sledding.
00:05:29.800
They're outside in the snow. They're sledding. The horror. Shock. Gasp. Horror. They're outside without
00:05:36.560
masks on. The kids are sledding. And he used that as a reason not to open the schools. So nothing to be
00:05:42.980
worried about here, right? Just a school system essentially spying on families and
00:05:47.000
chastising them for what they do on their own time on private property while schools aren't even open
00:05:52.040
for business in the first place. This is how desperate the schools are to stay closed, no matter
00:05:57.060
what, no matter the cost. But even if they open again, this is something else we have to understand.
00:06:02.300
Even if they open again, that doesn't necessarily solve the problem. Here's a video. I want to show you
00:06:05.980
this. A video posted by a teacher of a school that is set to reopen. And she's showing us what the
00:06:12.680
classroom is going to look like with all the COVID regulations and everything. Each desk is encased
00:06:18.860
on three sides by glass. The kids will be in glass cages for class, essentially. And this raises all
00:06:28.860
I just have a question for the school board. I'm wondering, this is my classroom. I have a rather
00:06:34.240
large classroom compared to the other classrooms in our building. But I have 28 desks in here right
00:06:39.840
now. If we go back five days a week, I'll have 30, 30 or 32 with the kids coming back from virtual.
00:06:46.880
Um, this is the middle seat of the back row of my classroom. This is their view of the board.
00:06:57.840
Um, so I'm just wondering, when we ordered this $5 million worth of plexiglass, did we have a classroom
00:07:04.560
of 28 desks set up to where school board members could sit in them and see what this was really going
00:07:13.520
to be like? Cause I'm still trying to figure out how in between my classes, am I supposed to
00:07:19.800
disinfect? How I'm supposed to hear my students when they're in the back of the room wearing a mask
00:07:26.500
behind all this plexiglass? Right. How will she hear the students when they try to ask her a question?
00:07:32.640
How will she clean all of these cages before every class? Doesn't this become nothing more than a
00:07:39.020
a container for germs? You put a bunch of little kids around glass, do you know how smudged and gross
00:07:45.320
that's going to be after, after one class? Are we, are we going to pause for 45 minutes in between
00:07:52.280
each class to, to disinfect everything properly? And most importantly, how is this psychologically
00:07:58.640
healthy for kids to go, to go from school on a computer to school in a glass box?
00:08:04.620
And also just as importantly, why is it necessary? Where is the proof that any of this will actually
00:08:13.420
make anyone appreciably safer? And here's yet another question to ponder. Why didn't anyone
00:08:18.940
ever at any point ever, ever even once suggest anything like this during flu season? Nothing like
00:08:28.300
it was ever suggested. Let me read something else to you. This is, this is a, from a CDC fact sheet
00:08:33.000
from the CDC, comparing and contrasting the flu and COVID. This is what the CDC says. Okay. So
00:08:40.100
Facebook and YouTube, don't shut me down for misinformation. This is the CDC's own words.
00:08:46.220
Both COVID-19 and the flu illness can result in severe illness and complications. Those at highest
00:08:51.580
risk include older adults, people with certain underlying conditions, pregnant people.
00:08:56.600
Here are the differences. The CDC says, the risk of complications for healthy children, uh, is higher
00:09:03.780
for flu compared to COVID-19. However, infants and children with underlying medical conditions are an
00:09:09.700
increased risk for both flu and COVID-19. Okay. Higher risk. And then, and then it continues. Young
00:09:17.020
children are at a, young, young children are at a higher risk of severe illness from flu. Higher risk.
00:09:22.100
Higher. Now this is not, we already knew this, but I want to, I want to emphasize this is what the CDC
00:09:27.680
itself says. An article on the American Academy of Pediatrics website dated December 29th says that
00:09:36.440
0.01% of children who've gotten COVID have died. Only 1.3% have even hospitalized. Keep in mind that
00:09:43.660
children are also less likely to contract and get it in, to contract it in the first place.
00:09:48.760
So what is the chance that a child will both, will both contract COVID and have a serious,
00:09:57.740
possibly fatal reaction? You take any particular hypothetical child who right now is healthy,
00:10:03.980
and let's say you're sending them off to school. What are the chances that that child who's healthy
00:10:09.440
right now will have a severe, possibly fatal reaction to COVID? It's very low, very low. That's
00:10:17.920
what the numbers tell us. That's what the science tells us. The data is clear. The chances of a child
00:10:23.560
being hospitalized or killed by the flu is also relatively small, but it's higher than it is for
00:10:29.840
COVID. Yet we have never considered any of these measures for the flu. None of them. Now you can come
00:10:37.380
up with all kinds of excuses and rationalizations for that, right? You could say, well, the concern is
00:10:42.100
that kids will pass COVID to adults. Yes, but they're in a low risk group for that too. A National
00:10:49.060
Geographic article citing a study in Iceland says that the kids are half as likely to catch and spread
00:10:55.540
COVID, to catch and spread COVID. You could also say, well, there's a, there's a more widely available
00:11:02.380
and used flu vaccine than there is for COVID. Fine. I mean, you can come up with other excuses too. But
00:11:09.980
the point is that we aren't, we aren't taking more precautions for COVID than we did for the flu. It's
00:11:15.140
that we took basically none for the flu. While for COVID we've done, well, all of this. It's not
00:11:22.820
proportional. It's not reasonable. It's not justified based on the evidence or on the precedence
00:11:29.700
of our own past behavior and our own past approach to these sorts of things, especially where kids
00:11:36.580
are concerned. But here's why it happens, right? Kids are shut out of school, are put behind glass,
00:11:43.980
are scolded for not wearing masks while they're playing outside in the snow, are forced into a
00:11:49.540
mental state so desperate that they're hanging themselves. All of this happens because our society
00:11:55.880
is one that is totally and completely run by the squeaky wheel gets the oil mentality, right?
00:12:03.520
Never has any society been so utterly invested in that particular way of doing things.
00:12:09.980
Squeaky wheel gets the oil. And the people, I mean, which means, of course, the people who make the
00:12:14.300
most noise, who do the most whining, who are the most obnoxious, get their way. That's the way it goes.
00:12:19.000
Now, kids make plenty of noise. And any parent will tell you they also do plenty of whining.
00:12:25.500
But they don't make the kind of noise that registers in the public debate. It may register
00:12:30.140
in your eardrums as a parent at home, but it doesn't register in the public debate. In the public
00:12:35.080
debate, their voice is not present because they have no representative. They have no special interest
00:12:41.200
groups. They have no union. They have no celebrity spokesmen. They have no corporate mouthpieces.
00:12:45.700
And because of that, their voice is not heard at all in the public debate. Instead, we hear from
00:12:52.460
the teachers union, from the grownups. We hear from the sorts of people who take photos and videos
00:12:58.180
of other people not wearing masks and shame them on the internet or send them to the superintendent.
00:13:04.540
Those are the ones we hear. And they get their way. The kids, in their silence, are ignored.
00:13:15.700
Before we get into the five headlines here, feeling carsick is not fun. Maybe we could agree. If you've
00:13:27.880
never experienced that before, you might not realize how unfun it actually is. But people like
00:13:33.320
myself that deal with that, it could be pretty disturbing, especially when you're sitting in the
00:13:39.120
back of an Uber or cab or something, or even you've got a friend driving you and you're kind of feeling
00:13:44.180
like you might have to be sick and you're debating whether to have them pull over to the side of the
00:13:49.380
road. That's going to be embarrassing. It's just, it's not great. And that's why I'm thankful that
00:13:54.320
Relief Band is on the market. Relief Band is here. Relief Band is the number one FDA-cleared
00:13:59.160
anti-nausea wristband that's been clinically proven to quickly relieve and effectively prevent nausea and
00:14:04.180
vomiting associated with motion sickness, anxiety, migraine, hangover, morning sickness,
00:14:08.360
chemotherapy, and so much more. The product is 100% drug-free, non-drowsy. So it's not one of
00:14:12.980
those motion sickness pills that you can take that are going to make you drowsy and out of it for the
00:14:17.160
rest of the day. Zero side effects. That's what you get from Relief Band. The technology was originally
00:14:22.520
developed over 20 years ago in hospitals to relieve nausea from patients. But now through Relief Band,
00:14:27.660
it's available to the masses. Relief Band is the only over-the-counter wearable device that's been
00:14:31.680
used in hospitals and oncology clinics to treat nausea and vomiting. So you know it works. I use it.
00:14:37.760
My daughter has used it, who also struggles with motion sickness as well. If you want to be a part
00:14:43.480
of this this new year, ensure that nausea is never the reason to miss out on life's important moments.

00:15:10.700
staying safe out there. You know, the problem is that it seems like 12 times a year we hear about
00:15:20.700
historic weather events happening in this country. And after a while, it's sort of like Princess
00:15:26.200
Bride. You think, you know, I don't think that word means what we think it means because we use
00:15:31.040
it so often to describe what happens in the weather. Now, I think in this case, especially
00:15:36.580
with what's happening in Texas where they've got the, you know, sub-freezing temperatures and snow
00:15:41.380
and ice and everything in parts of Texas where they almost never see this sort of weather. So that,
00:15:46.200
okay, is we would call historic. What's happening in Nashville right now, I don't think it's historic.
00:15:51.560
It's like snow and freezing rain. It's not common. It's not historic though. So this may actually
00:15:57.720
qualify, but this is the problem when you, when you use it, when everything is dramatic all the
00:16:02.740
time and sensationalized and you use the most dramatic adjective possible to describe everything.
00:16:10.060
Then when event, when an event actually occurs that, uh, that suits that adjective and you use it,
00:16:16.320
it's lost all meaning. When you call everything historic and then a real historic event happens,
00:16:21.500
what do you call the real historic event? It's like you need a new word or you call it historic and
00:16:26.260
doesn't, doesn't pack the same punch. Although I still say, uh, historic or not, I still like,
00:16:33.220
I've been complaining about this because partly that's what I do. But, uh, the fact that here in
00:16:37.680
Nashville, they still plows have not touched the road. It's been two days now. I haven't seen a plow
00:16:44.180
and I'm told, I get all the people that have lived there a lot here a lot longer than me are telling
00:16:48.540
me that, yeah, well they don't, you know, it doesn't happen often enough and to, to pay for the plows
00:16:53.640
and to, and to the maintenance and everything to keep them, just to use them once every few years
00:16:57.700
doesn't make any sense. Maybe so, maybe so. But for my entitled Yankee mentality, I, the way that I
00:17:06.860
look at it, the way that I, the way that I operate is if, if there's less than a foot of snow on the
00:17:11.500
ground, I should be able to leave my house and go for a drive. I should be able to do that with less
00:17:16.260
than a foot of snow. I demand it. Squeaky wheel, like I just said. Um, all right. Number one,
00:17:26.440
yesterday, governor Cuomo gave a press conference, uh, his favorite past them, of course, only this
00:17:31.160
time he was sort of addressing the nursing home scandal, the scandal wherein he sent virus infected
00:17:36.200
people into nursing homes and thereby condemned thousands of people to death. But he puts the blame
00:17:40.800
on a mixture of people and situations, none of them him. Of course, he blames the toxic political
00:17:46.980
environment and quote, conspiracy theories. Here he is. Listen. So are you really saying that this is
00:17:53.820
sort of the creation of a toxic political environment that's existed for several years in this country and
00:17:59.620
in this country? Look, uh, is the environment toxic politically? Yes. Was this happening last year
00:18:12.340
with this toxic political environment? Yes. Uh, and do I think that's part of the conspiracy theories that
00:18:23.200
filled the void? Yes. And look, uh, I understand politics. I was critical of President Trump. I also
00:18:33.320
worked with President Trump. Uh, I get how strong the feelings are on both sides. But when you're talking
00:18:42.840
about loved ones dying in nursing homes, uh, when you come up with conspiracy theories or there's
00:18:52.100
this information, then, uh, the worst thing you can say to somebody who lost a loved one is maybe it
00:18:59.060
didn't have to be, maybe there was a government issue. Yeah. Toxic political environment. You mean
00:19:05.860
like, um, I don't know, like when you Cuomo said that you wouldn't take the vaccine under Trump's
00:19:14.600
administration, you actually encouraged people to be skeptical of the vaccine under Trump.
00:19:22.700
And then once Trump was out, you immediately turned around and started scolding the people
00:19:27.300
who were skeptical of the vaccine that you just told them to be skeptical of like that kind of thing.
00:19:32.520
It's pretty toxic. I agree. This really, I think all of this, um, really amplifies the cringe factor
00:19:40.440
in this video, which is for whatever reason, making the rounds on social media now, but it's from a
00:19:45.280
couple of months ago. This is what aired. If you were wondering, which probably you weren't, but
00:19:49.980
when, when Cuomo won his Emmy award a couple of months ago, if you didn't watch that, the Emmy
00:19:55.860
ceremony, uh, because you realize that you're better off doing literally anything else with your time.
00:20:00.840
This is what aired when Cuomo was awarded an Emmy for his press conferences. This is what they put
00:20:05.140
on the air. Watch to my governor, the governor empire state, Andrew Cuomo. Congratulations,
00:20:14.740
Andrew on your much deserved founders award. Governor Andrew Cuomo. You are the man. What?
00:20:21.420
I was trying to think of something that I could say to you that would, uh, be funny. And so I called
00:20:27.500
your brother, Chris, who could not understand why you were getting an Emmy since he's the one on
00:20:31.200
television. In the darkest stage of the pandemic, your daily briefings live from New York gave us
00:20:37.300
hope, gave us clarity, gave us the truth and gave us something that we were not getting from Washington
00:20:41.640
leadership. In the midst of this storm, Andrew Cuomo became the nation's governor. People across the
00:20:49.000
country tuned into this press conferences every day. Daily. I was watching his press conferences,
00:20:55.600
informing us, telling us what to do. I am really going to vomit. That is, that is truly vomitous,
00:21:04.860
nauseating. My God. And didn't Spike Lee seem drunk there. That was a whole, if you're listening to
00:21:13.020
audio, maybe you couldn't tell the voices. That was a, it was a, a compilation of celebrities
00:21:17.640
thanking dear leader, Governor Cuomo, Spike Lee being one of them. He seemed kind of drunk to
00:21:21.960
me. Billy Joel, I actually felt sorry for you. Saw him there. He was, he was reading. He had this
00:21:26.960
whole speech. It looked like that he was reading and, but they only put them in the compilation for,
00:21:31.480
for, for nine seconds. And, uh, he, he read a three, a three page. He sat down. He's very excited.
00:21:37.040
He wrote, he wrote a three page report, uh, on, uh, on Governor Cuomo, his whole biography and
00:21:42.720
everything. And he sat there and he read it and they only took nine seconds of it. So you feel a little
00:21:45.940
bad for him. Those are all the celebrities. And this is why, uh, you can never let the left
00:21:51.640
pretend that the cult of personality around Donald Trump was some sort of unique phenomenon or unique
00:21:59.720
to the right. Uh, well, the left, they never have that. Never let them pretend that. Yeah, there,
00:22:05.300
there is, there was and is a cult of personality around Trump. I've made it clear many times. I don't
00:22:09.800
think there should be cults of personality around any, any one period, much less any politician.
00:22:15.940
We shouldn't be fans of politicians. We could be supporters, uh, always ready to withdraw that
00:22:21.000
support, you know, at the drop of a hat. Really that's, uh, the, the, the idea of being a fan of
00:22:26.420
a politician or to be loyal. I don't like that word with politicians either. It's not my job to
00:22:30.760
be loyal to you as a politician. It's your job to be loyal to me. No, I'm not, I have no loyalty to
00:22:35.520
you. I'm ready to drop you like a bad habit. The minute you get out of line, that's, that is the
00:22:41.040
skeptical, really cynical approach that we should have as Americans to our, to our elected leaders.
00:22:46.960
Um, but cult of personality happened on both, on both sides. And think about how quickly and how
00:22:55.580
unjustifiably this cult of personality sprang up around governor Cuomo within, within days,
00:23:03.160
after a couple of press conferences, all of a sudden we had this kind of thing.
00:23:09.200
People left us practically weeping tears of joy, watching this guy give a press conference.
00:23:15.940
All right. Um, speaking of cult of personality, this is from the Daily Wire, a new dating trend
00:23:24.200
called Fauci-ing, Fauci-ing, named after Dr. Anthony Fauci. There's another guy that has a cult of
00:23:30.140
personality. The, uh, the popular medical commentator, White House coronavirus advisor, has, this, this, uh,
00:23:35.380
trend has singles dumping partners and potential partners who refuse to take COVID-19 mitigation
00:23:40.760
seriously. The trend identified by the dating website, Plenty of Fish, has been making
00:23:45.860
waves on the internet. The New York Post reports that is expected to be a primary issue for singles
00:23:50.420
in 2021. In an interview with Fauci himself, Axios TV defined the practice as, quote, cutting off a
00:23:55.960
relationship if you don't think that the other person is serious enough about social distancing and
00:24:00.420
taking the pandemic seriously. Um, the, uh, the post notes, the term, the term in his definition were
00:24:06.520
coined by dating app, Plenty of Fish, which included Fauci-ing in its annual list of top dating trends to
00:24:12.160
expect in the new year. The list released in November also warned singles, singles to watch
00:24:17.700
out for masquerading, where a potential partner only pretends to care about wearing masks and COVID-19
00:24:23.700
for the sole purpose of dating you. And also apocalypsing, where you treat every relationship
00:24:29.240
like it's your last and get too serious too quick. Okay, well, that last one, that's, that's not a new
00:24:34.260
trend. People getting too serious too quick. There's nothing new about that. I don't think we need a new
00:24:39.980
word, a new cute phrase for it. Um, that's, you know, people becoming, that's called emotional
00:24:45.400
codependence. It's been a thing. It's been a thing in humanity pretty much forever. Uh, masquerading
00:24:51.240
though. See, I see that phrase and I, what I would think that means, and this is another thing as a,
00:24:56.480
as a, I imagine as a single person during the pandemic that you have to worry about, I would
00:25:01.340
think that masquerading is, uh, when an ugly person wears a mask and pretends to be not ugly and you
00:25:08.380
meet someone and you don't really know because they're wearing the mask. I would have thought
00:25:11.060
that's what masquerading means. But this is the kind of thing I read this and I don't mean to rub
00:25:18.960
it in or anything, but, um, every day, multiple times a day, especially when I read stories like
00:25:24.660
this, I find myself thanking God that I am married. I'm so happy that I'm not single at this time. I
00:25:31.380
thought that before the pandemic started, but even now, but especially now, what, what do you do?
00:25:35.500
Maybe the only silver lining with this is that I would, I would take it almost, um, almost like
00:25:43.700
an anti-Fouchie-ing, uh, tactic if I was single and dating, kind of a reverse Fouchie-ing sort of
00:25:51.680
thing, where this is an easy way to weed out the paranoid lunatics. So if there is anyone out there
00:26:00.020
who, you know, wants to wear, you go on a date with someone and, uh, you're, you're, you're going
00:26:04.420
for a walk or whatever, you're walking to the restaurant, uh, and they want to wear the mask
00:26:08.800
while you're walking down the sidewalk. Now that's, that's a good signal to you to drop
00:26:14.220
that person. Don't even bother about going to dinner. Or I suppose that person wouldn't
00:26:18.180
be going to dinner in the first place. That's the thing. If you really, if you're that quote
00:26:23.520
serious about it and paranoid, why would you be dating in the first place? That's what doesn't
00:26:28.260
make any sense to me. Even the paranoid people, that's one thing that's frustrated me about
00:26:34.360
this from the very beginning. Even the, the paranoid people, they want to have it both ways.
00:26:40.520
It's like, I, I, I mentioned the story, um, uh, when I went with my family and our in-laws
00:26:48.140
to a, uh, to a Christmas lights display a couple months ago before Christmas. This was in Indianapolis
00:26:53.200
and we're outside and you know, we're, we're, we're, we're distanced. We're socially distanced.
00:26:59.480
We're not, we're not right up on top of anybody else. We're, we're spaced out from everybody.
00:27:03.120
We're walking outside and yeah, you know, I don't have my mask on. And this, this woman walks by and
00:27:10.220
she's like 10 feet away and she's holding a cup of like hot cider and she's got the mask on and she
00:27:17.300
starts yelling at me for not having the mask on. And I think, first of all, if you're really that
00:27:22.660
serious about this, that you don't even want to walk outside without a mask on, even when you're
00:27:27.040
10 feet away from someone, what are you doing at the Christmas lights display? Why did you come
00:27:32.920
here in the first place? If you're that worried about it, this is, this isn't some essential thing
00:27:38.820
to your life that you needed to do. You could have stayed home. No, you came here because you're not
00:27:45.020
that worried about it. Are you? And that's the, that's the have your cake and eat it too attitude
00:27:52.300
that the, um, even the paranoid coronavirus people have. All right. Number three, this is a great tweet
00:27:57.720
from Sean Penn. It says evangelical leaders should themselves be impeached by the Vatican. If they
00:28:04.140
themselves don't follow Nikki Haley's lead and clearly state they should not have followed Satan
00:28:09.500
into the bowels of hell, but perhaps they're too busy at sex parties. What makes this a great tweet
00:28:15.740
is first of all, he spells Satan S A T I N satin. So really they should not have followed satin into
00:28:23.100
the bowels of hell, which I have to say, I'm satin is a higher quality fabric than I would expect to find
00:28:28.020
in the bowels of hell. But also the whole idea of the Vatican impeaching evangelicals as a Catholic,
00:28:35.020
I kind of liked the idea. I sort of liked the idea that I as a Catholic, um, would, would, or that,
00:28:42.020
or at least that Catholic leadership would have the ability to impeach Protestants. I like the idea,
00:28:48.440
but it doesn't quite work that way. Sean Penn, I have to tell you. Number four from the sun, it says
00:28:54.200
the Pentagon has admitted to holding and testing wreckage from UFO crashes and a bombshell freedom of
00:28:59.240
information letter shared with the sun. Researcher Anthony Bregalia, um, wrote to the defense
00:29:04.920
intelligence agency requesting details of all UFO material, which they hold and, uh, and results
00:29:10.580
of any tests they've been carrying out. He wrote quote, this could include physical debris recovered
00:29:15.220
by personnel of the department of defense as residue, um, shot off material or crashed material from U a U a
00:29:22.680
PS, which is unidentified aerial phenomenon or unidentified flying objects. In the response shared
00:29:28.580
with the sun, the DIA released 154 pages of test results that includes reports on a mysterious memory
00:29:36.480
metal called nitinol, which remembers its original shape when folded. Bregalia said it was a stunning
00:29:43.800
admission from the U S government and the documents reveal that some of the retrieved debris possesses
00:29:48.320
quote, extraordinary capabilities, including the potential to make things invisible or even slow
00:29:53.280
down the speed of light. It's a fascinating report. And yet again, it's every other week we get bombshell
00:30:02.480
UFO news from the government. This is, this isn't stuff from crazy kooky conspiracy theorists or people
00:30:08.540
on the history channel, ancient aliens, people with, uh, you know, with frizzy hair talking about how the
00:30:14.500
aliens, uh, the pyramids are spaceships or something. This isn't that this is, these are, these are official
00:30:20.220
documents from the government being released in this case saying, Hey, yeah, we have, we've, we've
00:30:26.620
uncovered UFO material and we've tested it. It has invisibility powers and this stuff comes out. And
00:30:34.580
as always, the reaction from the public is, Oh, UFOs, aliens. Yeah, whatever. Big deal.
00:30:42.000
Let's find, let's see another, let's, let's find another video of a, of a lawyer with a cat filter.
00:30:48.340
That's, that's bigger news, which the cat filter thing was big news. Don't get me wrong. I, you
00:30:52.880
know, I was a big fan of that too, as you know, I just don't understand how no one else seems to
00:30:58.500
care about this. To me, this should be headline news. This should be the thing that we're talking
00:31:03.780
about, but nobody cares. I really do wonder, as I've said before, if, if the time comes, which,
00:31:11.700
which it may, when aliens land, a UFO invasion, aliens land on earth, it's all, you know, it's a
00:31:20.460
clear, we all know that it happened. I wonder if that would even make the headlines. Number five,
00:31:28.220
finally, I have to play this for you. And I apologize ahead of time that I have to play it,
00:31:31.540
but I do. Uh, and here it is. Our government's now full of folks who are extraordinary,
00:31:41.360
but I'm especially impressed by the new press secretary. She's gained a reputation for her
00:31:49.860
brain in every session, as well as for the way she likes to use one pet expression.
00:31:57.900
Circle back, Gen Sock, you circle back. That's your way of saying to the media pack. If a fact's in doubt,
00:32:10.080
you'll go find things out and give more details when you circle back. You're no hack, Gen Sock,
00:32:17.880
you're no hack. Even when right-wingers go on the attack, you put them in their place with a smiling
00:32:26.920
face and with style and grace. That's how Gen Socky circles back. I told you I was sorry,
00:32:33.380
but I had to play it. There's the Gen Socky song. We had the Kamala Harris song a couple weeks ago.
00:32:39.720
The only guy who hasn't had a song yet is, is, uh, Joe Biden himself. Everyone else in
00:32:46.020
administration is getting his own song, his own TikTok song, their own, their own TikTok songs.
00:32:51.320
And Joe Biden hasn't yet feel a little bad for him, but there it is. There's a Gen Socky song.
00:32:58.920
When I see this, I always think, was there no one for that woman? Is there no one in your life who
00:33:04.600
loves you who would have told you not to do that? Because you know that she, if you've got a song
00:33:11.260
that you've come up with and you're recording it for TikTok, it's guaranteed that you have performed
00:33:16.860
this little ditty for other people in your life before that. And did no one tell you? I know it
00:33:23.920
can be hard. It can be a hard thing to say to someone, especially if you care about hurting
00:33:27.120
people's feelings. I don't. So I would, I would have no problem if she played, if she performed that
00:33:31.340
song for me, I would have no problem saying that's terrible. Don't ever do that again in
00:33:36.580
front of anybody. I would have no problem with that. Most people do because they're nicer than
00:33:41.400
me. I get it. But if you really love and care about someone, you got to stop them before they
00:33:47.120
embarrass themselves on TikTok. All right, we're going to go now to, uh, reading the YouTube comments.
00:33:52.000
Here are some of the comments on the show yesterday. This is from Politics with Cooper. He says,
00:33:55.960
OMG, Matt, who cares about this? When do you actually talk about important things like our messed up
00:34:00.900
healthcare system, our endless wars and our crappy regulatory system? Well, I have to tell you,
00:34:05.860
Politics with Cooper, all of those subjects bore me to death. I almost fell asleep just reading the
00:34:10.340
comment. That's how boring, even a reference to those topics. Personally, to me, I find incredibly
00:34:16.020
boring. If you want to listen to a podcast about our healthcare system and regulatory system, you're
00:34:21.780
free to do that. I'm sure there are podcasts that cover that. I don't talk about that here. I don't
00:34:24.640
think that those are the most, I don't think that they certainly aren't the most interesting topics to
00:34:28.360
discuss. But I always, I love comments like this from people getting mad that I'm not talking about
00:34:38.060
something else. I, because I don't understand it. There are a lot of podcasts out there. I mean,
00:34:44.080
there are hundreds, thousands of podcasts talk about all different kinds of subjects.
00:34:48.280
I would never think to tune in to a podcast about a subject I'm not interested in and then get mad at
00:34:55.540
them for talking about that subject. If I don't want to hear that subject, I could just not listen
00:35:02.240
or listen to a different podcast. It's like walking in to a sandwich shop and yelling at them for not
00:35:10.680
having spaghetti. You walk into Subway and say, what, why don't you guys have spaghetti? I want spaghetti.
00:35:16.500
Well, then go to Olive Garden. That's something we do here.
00:35:23.800
William Baker says, Matt, I have kid number two on the way. My wife and I are having long,
00:35:28.200
hours long discussions about what their first name should be. The idea of then picking a middle name
00:35:32.960
seems daunting and pointless. After all, it would only be necessary if they need a trendy name acronym
00:35:37.980
or for their Supreme Court appointment. Would you be willing to cancel middle names so we can focus on
00:35:44.340
other things that actually affect the child? Thanks. I think you're looking at this the wrong
00:35:48.520
way, William. I agree with you that the middle name is superfluous and pointless, but that also
00:35:54.840
means you can do whatever you want with it. So if this is what I always say to parents that
00:35:58.500
if you, if you, for whatever reason, feel the need to give your kids some crazy, weird, ugly,
00:36:05.140
stupid name, then put that in the middle. Make that the middle name. Don't, don't, don't give that to
00:36:10.780
your kid as don't force your, your child. Don't saddle your child with that as their first name.
00:36:16.460
But with the middle, fine, you can do whatever you want with the middle name, get crazy, have some
00:36:19.880
fun with it, whatever you want to do. So it really doesn't matter. There's no pressure. All of the
00:36:26.500
pressure is on the first name. So I wouldn't worry about the middle name at all. If you get the first
00:36:31.980
name wrong though, you ruin your kid's life. So pressure's on. Jared Hoagland says, Matt, you say
00:36:37.140
you're not worried about gun control or the gun control push because gun rights advocates have
00:36:41.820
successfully held their ground. We're able to hold our ground because we do worry. We recognize
00:36:45.960
that our government has successfully passed sweeping assault weapons bans and invasive gun
00:36:49.980
control bills before, and they'll do it again. The government is full of insatiable anti second
00:36:54.420
amendment crusaders. And we barely hold onto our remaining rights by acting as if each new gun bill
00:36:59.280
is the end of the second amendment because it very well might be. Yeah, I totally agree, Jared.
00:37:03.000
That's my point. Um, that this is the, this is the approach that gun rights advocates take
00:37:10.500
where every, any bill, any measure, any policy you, like you said, you react as though if this
00:37:17.740
thing goes through, it's the end of the second amendment. Um, not willing to give the slightest
00:37:22.920
inch. And I fully endorse that approach. I think it's the right approach. What I'm saying
00:37:30.780
is that conservative advocates in other areas should look at that as a model. I use the example
00:37:38.900
of, you know, in the pro-life fight, which as you know, for me, that's, that's one of my primary
00:37:45.480
focuses. That should be the approach. You know, there, there is no pro-abortion measure,
00:37:51.880
no pro-abortion policy that we will ever support. Draw the line. We're not going to cross it.
00:38:01.900
Um, so I, I think that's a model. I very much admire it. And I think that it's, it's the proof's
00:38:07.100
in the pudding. Okay. Let's see here. Um, S. Hutter says, I feel like there's been a bit of a
00:38:14.340
cultural shift in the gun control debate. Actually, I guess this was an autocorrect thing
00:38:21.260
because the actual comment says there's been a cultural shift in the tub control debate.
00:38:26.640
Tub control. Tub control is another important thing. You know, people, because adults using
00:38:33.880
bathtubs really, once you're over the age of about 11, you shouldn't be taking baths at all. Stewing in
00:38:40.120
your own filth. It's disgusting. Take a shower, being a, be a grownup. But anyway, I think you,
00:38:44.520
I think you meant gun control. So there's been a cultural shift in the gun control debate. Even
00:38:47.840
a lot of people on the left have realized, at least in my circles, that gun control hasn't and
00:38:51.620
won't help. They may support background checks and some restrictions, but no, but I know a lot of
00:38:56.340
liberal people who don't support complete bans. I even know a self-proclaimed socialist at my work
00:39:01.300
who is super pro second amendment, which is a bit shocking. Maybe this is something that isn't
00:39:05.600
working in the culture anymore. Even if they try to pass federal bans, the states can veto it
00:39:09.640
and since only super extreme people seem to care, hopefully it won't make traction in the
00:39:14.060
culture either. Maybe I'm being hopelessly optimistic now. No, again, I think you're right.
00:39:20.540
I think there has been a cultural shift. At least, it could be temporary, but this does not seem to be
00:39:28.940
the focus of the left right now, gun control. It might be premature to say that they've surrendered
00:39:34.700
on it. I don't know if they've put up the white flag necessarily, but they seem to have kind of
00:39:38.500
moved on to other things because they've been defeated and they figure, well, this isn't
00:39:44.220
working and they've moved on to other areas. As Jen Psaki says, they'll probably circle back
00:39:48.860
though. But for right now, again, a great example for people, conservatives who focus on other
00:39:56.840
issues. So look at that. And finally, this is from TXRDTV says, Dear Matt, what's the proper
00:40:03.660
flannel to wear when you invite a date over to cannibalistically consume them? Asking for a
00:40:09.460
friend. Well, I guess the flannel at that point, don't wear your best flannel, I guess is what I
00:40:17.220
would say. Although my question is, how do you non-cannibalistically consume someone?
00:40:23.460
Don't answer that on second thought. We know that life insurance is really important, but
00:40:28.440
before PolicyGenius existed. Think about how difficult it would have been to find life insurance.
00:40:35.500
You know, all of the red tape you have to wade through and it's just, it could be a very daunting
00:40:40.600
task. Probably one of the reasons why a lot of people didn't get life insurance before PolicyGenius.
00:40:44.700
But we don't have to worry about that anymore because we are living in the era of PolicyGenius.
00:40:48.700
PolicyGenius can help you check off two big items with ease, compare life insurance rates,
00:40:52.920
and save 50% or more in the process. That means more cash to put towards the things that you care
00:40:58.380

00:42:16.760
through the news cycle recently. She was the star of a hit Disney Plus show, The Mandalorian,
00:42:21.300
and was dropped from the series. You heard all about this story as the woke mob, the Hollywood
00:42:28.460
mob, is going after any conservatives and that's why they got rid of her. They come up with their
00:42:32.340
own excuses, but that's the real reason that we all know. At one point in time, that would be the
00:42:38.100
end of the story. The woke mob tosses someone to the curb and that's it. That's the last you hear
00:42:43.060
about them and they go off into obscurity, but that's not the case anymore. That's why we,
00:42:47.500
the Daily Wire, just announced a movie deal with Gina. That's correct. We will be developing,
00:42:52.640
producing, and starring in an upcoming film, or Gina Carano will be, I should say,
00:42:57.980
developing, producing, and starring in an upcoming film that will be released exclusively
00:43:01.420
to Daily Wire members. We've all said it. You know, conservatives need to do more than complain
00:43:06.240
and critique. As much as I enjoy doing both of those things, we need to stop running away from
00:43:10.580
the culture. We need to be creators and influencers that challenge the leftist narrative in Hollywood,
00:43:15.680
challenge it directly, and that's what this is all about. Disney Plus has $8 billion to spend per
00:43:22.060
year. We have you, okay? So join us today in the fight to take back our culture. Go to dailywire.com

You know, often on the daily cancellation, I'm going out on a limb on my own to cancel somebody,
00:43:45.860
bravely canceling what nobody has canceled before. But today is a somewhat rare occasion where I will
00:43:50.860
join a pre-existing cancel mob to cancel someone by the name of James Charles. James Charles is a
00:43:58.160
famous YouTuber known for wearing makeup. A while ago, he became a cover girl, even though he's
00:44:03.840
not a girl. And this fact that he's not a girl is something that he apparently needs to be reminded
00:44:10.520
of. Charles is, as the media tells me, facing backlash for a YouTube stunt where he experienced
00:44:16.900
pregnancy for a day. Experienced pregnancy for a day. And by experienced pregnancy, I mean that he
00:44:22.020
wore a prosthetic belly and took some nude pregnancy photos. And that's it. That was essentially the extent
00:44:28.200
of his pregnancy experience. Because I know you really want to see it. Here it is. Watch.
00:44:34.880
All of our close friends are all in a group chat together. And a few days ago, we were all joking
00:44:39.140
around with her and she came back at us and said, I bet you could not last 24 hours of being pregnant.
00:44:44.140
And I thought to myself, okay, challenge accepted. So for today's YouTube video, Laura is going to join
00:44:48.480
us and we're going to be doing a ton of different challenges and tasks to really see if I am strong
00:44:53.120
enough to experience what it's actually like being pregnant for 24 hours straight. Let's get
00:44:59.800
What? You're squishing the big knee. Move back. Scoop back.
00:45:06.240
Sweeties. Sweeties. Twinsies. Oh. Oh, a little sideways tactic. That's insane.
00:45:12.840
You definitely have to do on your knees. Okay. I'm a professional doc. Clearly since I got pregnant.
00:45:16.940
Yeah. You're having a nip slip. Yeah. Very halcy. But more subtle. Yeah. Like that.
00:45:33.020
Now, like James Charles, I am not a girl. So like James Charles, I don't know what pregnancy
00:45:40.140
is like. But I'm pretty sure after having watched my wife go through it several times
00:45:44.880
that it involves more than having to sit sideways at the table so your stomach doesn't get in
00:45:51.320
the way. There are all kinds of psychological, emotional, hormonal aspects to the experience
00:45:57.040
that cannot be replicated. Also bladder related aspects, I'm told. So if you really want to
00:46:03.560
give pregnancy simulation a shot, you should at least once pee yourself from sitting down
00:46:09.800
too fast or however it works. The backlash Charles is experiencing comes from people claiming
00:46:14.860
that he's minimizing pregnancy and making a joke out of it. I agree that he's doing that.
00:46:21.700
And, but I think the canceling should go further because this is not just minimizing,
00:46:28.360
making a joke out of it. This is appropriation. And it is appropriation far more degrading and
00:46:34.580
reductive than say a white person wearing a Native American headdress for Halloween.
00:46:39.380
So he should receive a consequence at least as harsh as the one we would dole out for the person
00:46:45.680
on Halloween wearing that costume. The rules should be applied consistently. I am a firm believer that
00:46:51.820
the left should be required to live by its own standards. Even if I don't agree with the standards,
00:46:57.780
these are your standards. You should have to live by them. In fact, I'm the one who shouldn't have to.
00:47:03.020
You should have to, not me. So that's why when it comes to the left standards, I will passionately
00:47:13.980
defend any conservative against the left's standards. But I will take those standards
00:47:20.700
and passionately argue that people on the left should have to live by them. And that doesn't make
00:47:25.720
it a double standard for me. No. Because again, they're not our standards. They're yours. You live
00:47:31.480
by them. I don't care what you think about appropriation or anything else. But you should
00:47:36.500
care what you think. You're the one who thinks it. Now, in this case, though, it really is appropriation.
00:47:45.560
Okay? And it's part of a larger cultural trend wherein men are claiming womanhood for themselves,
00:47:50.500
turning womanhood into a costume they can wear, claiming female spaces for their own,
00:47:55.420
taking what rightfully belongs to women. In fact, the only kind of identity that is actually being
00:48:00.940
appropriated in this culture is womanhood. It's not possible, actually, to appropriate a culture.
00:48:07.080
That doesn't exist. Cultures are fluid. Cultures are ever-changing. Culture is a human construction.
00:48:12.880
Culture is always influenced and always influencing others. That's the nature of culture.
00:48:19.920
It cannot be taken. It can't be stolen. Somebody participating in your culture is not at all
00:48:25.460
infringing on your ability to experience your own culture for yourself in its fullness.
00:48:31.080
Cultural appropriation doesn't exist. Yet, it's the appropriation that we hear the most about.
00:48:37.680
Female appropriation does exist. Yet, we hear almost nothing about it. Despite what we're told,
00:48:44.440
sex is not fluid. It is not a construct. It is not a societal invention, unlike culture.
00:48:50.580
What's more, a man participating in womanhood is depriving women of their ability to experience it
00:48:56.600
in its fullness. For example, a man who participates in female sports is effectively taking female sports
00:49:02.040
away from females. And on a deeper level, girls are raised in the belief that their identity,
00:49:08.720
their femininity, their girlhood is mutable, changeable, superficial. I ask the famous question all the
00:49:15.160
time. What is a woman? Well, we live in a culture that cannot answer that question. Therefore,
00:49:19.740
girls are brought up in this culture deprived of an identity that has meaning, deprived of a definable
00:49:26.560
identity. That's the consequence of female appropriation. It's serious. It's real. Everything
00:49:33.820
the left says about cultural appropriation applies here. It doesn't apply there, but it applies here.
00:49:40.000
James Charles is a womanhood appropriator of longstanding. This is by far not his first foray
00:49:47.800
into cheapening womanhood, degrading it, using it like a toy. And for that, he's canceled.
00:49:53.980
He should be canceled just as much as any cultural appropriator ever has been, and more, much more.
00:50:00.720
Instead, he'll get some mean internet comments and then continue along with his life, unimpeded,
00:50:05.340
corporate sponsors still intact. Corporate sponsors, by the way, that should be going to women.
00:50:11.820
Real women, not a guy who pretends to be for clicks and clout. So, James Charles is officially
00:50:19.420
canceled. By me, anyway. And we'll leave it there for today. Thanks for watching, everybody.
00:50:26.020
Thanks for listening. Have a great day. Godspeed.
