00:00:00.000 Today on the Matt Wall Show, the left celebrates the death of Rush Limbaugh, proving again
00:00:04.060 that they really do hate you and want you dead. Also, five headlines, including the disastrous
00:00:08.740 winter weather across the South. You know, if you think that the deep freeze in Texas
00:00:13.040 is evidence against global warming, think again. The media tells us that it's even more proof of
00:00:18.060 their climate change theories. And in our daily cancellation, we'll discuss the mysterious spike
00:00:22.920 in ADHD cases that we've seen during the lockdowns. What could be the cause of that?
00:00:28.200 It's a big mystery. We'll talk about all that and more today on the Matt Wall Show.
00:00:38.460 You know, I just cannot emphasize enough the importance of using a VPN. You don't have
00:00:42.340 to give big tech companies access to your data. Why would you? I choose to protect my online
00:00:47.760 activity by using ExpressVPN. Ever wondered how free to access social media companies make their
00:00:52.400 money? Well, they do it by tracking your searches, your video history, everything you click on,
00:00:55.820 and then selling your valuable data. When you use ExpressVPN, you make your online presence
00:01:00.860 anonymous by hiding your IP address. And that makes your activity more difficult to trace,
00:01:05.060 more difficult to sell to advertisers. You get the privacy that you deserve.
00:01:07.920 What's more, ExpressVPN encrypts 100% of your data to protect you from eavesdroppers on your network.
00:01:12.680 And the ExpressVPN app couldn't be easier to use. As I always say, you know, if it was not easy to use,
00:01:17.600 then I couldn't do it. So you know the fact that I'm using ExpressVPN means that you can too.
00:01:21.060 All you got to do is just tap one button on your phone and computer and you're protected. And then
00:01:26.520 you know that you can go and you can use the internet and you have that anonymity and you
00:01:32.420 have that privacy that you need, that protection. There's just no good reason to use the internet
00:01:37.940 without a VPN. So take back your online privacy with the VPN that I trust at expressvpn.com slash

00:01:59.680 expressvpn.com slash Walsh to protect your data today. Rush Limbaugh died on Wednesday at the age
00:02:05.480 of 70. Though his lung cancer diagnosis has been publicly known for months, of course, still his
00:02:11.160 death has managed to feel somehow shocking. That's how it always feels when a man of great
00:02:16.580 consequence and importance reaches the end of his time here on earth. And that's one thing
00:02:22.380 that nobody can deny about Rush Limbaugh, Rush's life. It was important. It was an important
00:02:27.880 consequential life. He was a pioneer, a legend. He changed the country in ways that few media figures
00:02:34.680 ever have, ever could, ever will. Anyone who doubts Rush's profound importance need only take a glance at
00:02:41.920 social media. And there they'll find, of course, many people paying grateful tribute to the radio
00:02:47.040 icon and talking about him and all the ways that they were personally motivated by him and influenced
00:02:52.820 by him and shaped by him. But another and perhaps more profound indication of Rush's importance
00:03:00.260 is that all of the worst people in the country, many of the most vile and disgusting ghouls that our
00:03:07.460 culture has produced have come out to celebrate his death openly and to dance on his grave without
00:03:12.760 shame. I'm not going to amplify any of these people individually by going through a list of all of
00:03:18.140 the filthy, disgusting things they're spewing. Suffice it to say that the phrase rotten hell and rest in
00:03:24.300 piss were trending minutes after news broke. I mean, minutes after news broke of Rush's death right away.
00:03:30.980 These are not just random anonymous internet trolls either. I mean, there are a lot of those,
00:03:34.960 but also some of the most prominent left-wing voices who, when they're not laughing at a man
00:03:39.460 for dying of cancer, who are busy lecturing us about the need for civil political discourse.
00:03:45.500 Media outlets showed similar lack of restraint. Rolling Stone's headline read, quote,
00:03:51.660 Rush Limbaugh, right-wing radio host who trafficked in bigotry and cruelty, dead at 70. The Daily Beast was
00:03:58.100 only slightly more subtle, saying Rush Limbaugh, the human megaphone who hijacked the GOP, dead at 70.
00:04:03.760 And of course, the fever swamps of the left-wing blogosphere were not subtle at all. Jezebel's
00:04:10.480 top headline was simply, good riddance. In other words, the media and the left have showed the grace,
00:04:16.840 dignity, poise, compassion that you'd expect, which is none at all. Rush, I think, deserved better than to
00:04:25.620 have the story of his death become a story about the jerks who are rejoicing over it. But it is worth
00:04:31.780 thinking about this now familiar routine. We live in a country where this sort of thing happens so
00:04:37.500 automatically that we aren't shocked by it anymore. When a famous person of a certain political
00:04:41.580 persuasion, certain ideological persuasion dies, we expect that Satan and hell will be trending on
00:04:48.660 Twitter because of all the users openly fantasizing about their political enemy roasting eternally in
00:04:54.580 a place that, by the way, they don't even think exists. And that's exactly what happened in Russia's
00:04:59.980 case, right on cue. But why does it happen? It seems insufficient to chalk it up to mere partisanship,
00:05:06.480 mere divisiveness. What's really fueling it? To answer that question, the first thing we have
00:05:12.700 to establish is that this is truly a left-wing phenomenon. I'm not claiming that nobody on the
00:05:18.920 right did any football spiking or made any jokes about the death of Ruth Bader Ginsburg or some
00:05:24.880 other recently deceased liberal, okay? What I'm claiming is that those reactions were representative
00:05:31.000 of a definite minority on the right. There has not been a time in my memory, correct me if I'm wrong,
00:05:37.820 when rest in piss or anything like it was trending in reaction to the death of a famous prominent
00:05:43.580 left-winger. I mean, when has that ever happened? For the most part, RBG was eulogized respectfully,
00:05:50.240 both by the left and the right. There are notable exceptions, but those exceptions are just that,
00:05:54.980 exceptions. On the left, the respectful eulogy of political opponents has become itself the exception,
00:06:02.720 an exceedingly rare exception. Shameless celebration is the norm now. It's what you expect to see,
00:06:10.820 and it's what you do see. What drives this, I think, is the same thing that drives cancel culture
00:06:17.060 to a great extent. It's the belief, again, not totally unique to the left, but more prevalent
00:06:21.880 by a wide margin on the left, that people with differing views are bad people. Not just that they
00:06:28.380 have bad opinions, bad ideas, but that they themselves are bad deep down in their souls.
00:06:35.300 The consequence of casting every political disagreement, every alternate opinion, every
00:06:41.300 opposing argument as racism or sexism or homophobia or transphobia or whatever other ism or phobia
00:06:47.300 is that those who are conditioned into thinking this way will come to believe that their opponents
00:06:54.340 are truly and irredeemably evil. So it's easy to make jokes, as I have many times, about the fact
00:07:01.220 that the left calls everything and everyone bigoted, right? But the not-so-funny reality is that a great
00:07:07.620 many Americans, especially younger Americans, really believe this framing. They really believe it.
00:07:13.940 They've taken it to heart. It is the lens through which they view reality. They look out at the world
00:07:21.760 and they see millions of wicked, worthless, racist, knuckle-dragging subhumans staring back at them.
00:07:27.700 That's the world they see. They don't recognize the humanity of their opponents. They certainly
00:07:31.620 cannot see any goodness or virtue in them. The reaction to Rush Limbaugh's death is not happening
00:07:38.340 in a vacuum. It's not a matter of random anonymous trolls simply trying to get a rise out of people.
00:07:45.300 It's a reflection of our culture and of the ideological divide and of how deep that divide is and of the
00:07:51.140 pure unbridled hatred that has helped to carve it. Rush was the relentless target of this equally
00:08:01.540 relentless hatred for much of the past four decades. As I'm sure he expected, that has not changed after
00:08:07.060 his death. If anything, it's just ramped up. The man achieved many great things and made his mark in
00:08:13.140 many countless and incalculable ways. But one of the deepest testaments to his life is that these
00:08:20.100 sorts of people are rejoicing over its end. May we all hope to have that kind of impact on the world.
00:08:31.300 Let's get now to five headlines.
00:08:32.500 We talk a lot about the companies we don't like. Here's one of the companies that we do like and
00:08:42.740 that we should support because they support us and they're working for us. They've been doing a lot of
00:08:46.740 work on the ground in the culture. That's 40 days for life. I've been a big supporter of 40 days for
00:08:53.140 life for a long time because of the work that they do. The state of our culture frustrates all of us.
00:08:57.860 We now have politicians lobbying for infanticide. But you know where I see real progress is the
00:09:02.820 grassroots level and that's with 40 days for life. And I've said this before that if we're going to
00:09:08.500 really fight the culture war, we got to do it on the local, local level, on the ground floor,
00:09:13.540 grassroots level. That's what 40 days for life does. 40 days for life went from one peaceful
00:09:16.820 prayer vigil in front of a Planned Parenthood in Texas to now a thousand cities in 66 countries.
00:09:21.460 40 days of prayer, fasting and law-abiding vigils have saved 18,000 babies from abortion.
00:09:26.740 It's helped 211 abortion workers leave their jobs and closed 107 abortion facilities,
00:09:32.100 including the Texas location that now serves as the headquarters of 40 days for life.
00:09:36.340 So they are actually saving lives. They're going out there and saving lives,
00:09:39.860 thousands of lives. You can be a part of the beginning of the end of abortion by joining 1

00:10:11.700 Well, if you think that the deep freeze across the South is evidence against global warming,
00:10:17.140 then think again, suckers. Here's the headline from The Guardian, and there's been many headlines
00:10:21.540 like this. I'm just kind of picking one here. It says, heating Arctic may be to blame for snow
00:10:26.420 storms in Texas, scientists argue. Now, the article says, associating climate change normally connected
00:10:32.420 with roasting heat with an unusual winter storm that has crippled swaths of Texas and brought freezing
00:10:36.820 temperatures across the Southern U.S. can seem counterintuitive. But scientists say there's
00:10:40.820 evidence that the rapid heating of the Arctic can help push frigid air from the North Pole much
00:10:45.380 further south, possibly to the U.S.-Mexico border. This week, a blast of winter weather has reached
00:10:51.620 deep into the heart of U.S., causing several deaths and knocking out power for about 5 million. Sleet and
00:10:56.580 ice have battered Oklahoma and Arkansas, while many people in Texas have been left marooned amid
00:11:00.500 unsafe travel conditions in homes with no electricity. Judah Cohen, who's the director of
00:11:05.220 seasonal forecasting and atmospheric and environmental research, said the current conditions in Texas
00:11:09.060 are historical, certainly generational, but this can't be hand-waved away as if it's entirely natural.
00:11:15.220 Well, let me stop you right there. I think we can. I don't know if that counts as hand-waving or not,
00:11:19.700 but yes, it's natural. This is the definition of a natural thing. This is a natural event. It's
00:11:27.220 weather. It's part of nature. So yes, we can call it natural. That doesn't mean we dismiss it as
00:11:34.340 insignificant or that we don't care about the people that are affected by it, but yes, absolutely
00:11:38.980 natural. Hurricanes are natural. Tornadoes are natural. Drought is natural. None of it is good,
00:11:44.260 but it is natural. But he says, this is happening not in spite of climate change. It's in part due to
00:11:50.820 climate change. Last year, Cohen co-authored a paper that found a strong uptick in winter storms
00:11:54.900 in the U.S.-Northeast in the decade leading up to 2018. This, Cohen, some other scientists argue,
00:11:59.380 is a symptom of heating in the Arctic occurring at a rate more than twice the global average
00:12:03.300 that is disrupting long-established climatic systems. So, you know, this is the way it works,
00:12:10.740 right? That, well, if you have the theory of global warming and then you notice that things are
00:12:19.060 happening and, you know, winters are getting colder in some areas and so on, you could say, well,
00:12:26.260 hmm, maybe this is evidence against our theory. Or you could say, no, no, our theory is definitely
00:12:33.860 right. We've got to figure out a way to fit this into it. We're starting from the supposition that
00:12:39.720 our theory definitely must be right and so anything that happens has to fit into it. And that's why I
00:12:45.720 think the left is very good at this, we know. They're very good at rebranding. They're very good
00:12:50.040 at coming up with euphemisms for things. They're very good at changing the narrative simply by changing
00:12:56.200 the language. They've got a real talent for this. And I think their Mona Lisa, their greatest
00:13:03.120 achievement when it comes to this is climate change, where they went from, now it seems pretty
00:13:11.100 simple and kind of obvious, but they went from global warming to climate change. And they say,
00:13:18.140 well, global warming is still under that banner, but it's climate change. That's the new thing.
00:13:22.040 And the great thing about, you know, climate change, if you're arguing for that, is that
00:13:28.200 nothing can disprove it. In fact, it's not just nothing disproves it. Everything that happens
00:13:33.840 proves it. Everything that happens fits into it. And it makes sense when you think about it because
00:13:40.420 climate change, yeah, well, the climate changes. Climates have always done that. Earth's climate has
00:13:48.320 been in a constant state of change ever since the earth existed, ever since the earth had a
00:13:52.820 climate. It has been in a, that's what climates do. Speaking of nature, by their nature, climates
00:13:58.820 change. You're not going to have a absolutely stable climate that is always exactly the same
00:14:05.360 anywhere. So you change it to climate change and yeah, you still get global warming, but if you've
00:14:13.380 got freezing, then you can add that in drought, rain, tornado, hurricane, whatever, put it all in
00:14:20.580 earthquakes. I don't know if they throw that into now, maybe they will eventually really get around
00:14:24.800 that, but it all, it's all part. It all proves it. Number two, I want to play this for you. I missed
00:14:31.820 it yesterday, but Biden did a town hall on Tuesday night. I didn't watch. I don't care. Uh, the media
00:14:36.580 fawned all over it as always. And I don't care much about that either, but this one segment on CNN did
00:14:41.760 stand out a little bit. I want you to listen to this. Can you just weigh in finally, Jim, on the
00:14:45.900 humility? I mean, when he talked at the end of the town hall about like, I wake up in the White House
00:14:51.000 and I asked Jill, where are we? And I'm uncomfortable with them putting my suit jacket on and having all
00:14:55.560 this help. I mean, what a, what a breath of fresh air. Boy, it's true, Bobby. I teared up at that.
00:15:02.460 That's Scranton Joe. That's the kid who watched his dad go to work every day and struggle. And,
00:15:07.680 and then one day he got to grow up and be the president of the United States of America.
00:15:12.660 Uh, and it really is an amazing moment. I remember the first days of the Obama administration,
00:15:17.980 the president coming down to me and saying, we want the girls to do the dishes and the White
00:15:22.320 House staff seem to be a little concerned about that. You know, each president figures out how to
00:15:26.500 live in that place, but it was amazing to see Scranton Joe kind of be honest about saying, wow,
00:15:32.100 this is my life. Yeah. I'm taking a page from the first lady, Michelle Obama, when she said,
00:15:36.920 don't clean the girl's room, they're cleaning their own room. That's how it goes in my house too.
00:15:41.240 Exactly. Yeah. He teared up. I'm sure he did for his own sake, for his own sake. I'm going to be
00:15:48.120 the benefit of the doubt and assume that he didn't really tear up and he was just making it up for,
00:15:53.740 uh, because he thought it would sound good on camera. Um, which it never does. A man saying that
00:15:58.420 he cried about something never makes you sound better. But, um, uh, well, we, we have talked about
00:16:03.280 there. I think, I think we've, we've decided there are five acceptable circumstances for a man to cry
00:16:07.600 and the five acceptable circumstances change depending on what I think they must be. Cause
00:16:11.680 it's, you know, of course I get to, I'm the one who gets to decide this. Um, but, but crying at a
00:16:16.840 politician's town hall, definitely never on the list, never on the ever changing list. Um, so there's
00:16:25.720 that, but also this, this trying to frame Biden as this kind of, um, you know, regular, as I said,
00:16:36.380 Scranton, Joe, he lived in Scranton for about 15 seconds. And, uh, and then he, and then he was in
00:16:42.260 Delaware and, but for the last 40 years, he's been in Washington, 40 or 50 years. He's been in
00:16:46.900 Washington. So trying to turn him into this regular guy, is it this aw shucks guy who's now in the
00:16:53.780 white house? And, you know, he's not comfortable there. He's not comfortable people, people tending
00:16:57.860 to him and putting his jacket on. He was a vice president. I'm sure he had people putting his
00:17:01.980 jacket on for me. He was vice president. He lived in the white house. This is the most familiar thing
00:17:06.400 in the world to him. He's been in this environment running in these circles for decades.
00:17:14.020 Is this, he is, he is very far from a regular guy. He has been in a position of
00:17:19.460 political power, significant political power for, for almost twice as long as I've been alive.
00:17:29.540 Not quite that long. So I'm 35, but, uh, a lot longer than I've been alive. He's been in positions
00:17:35.960 of significant political power, including being, being in the white house before for eight years
00:17:40.600 as vice president. I get that you probably don't get all the same perks as a, as vice president that
00:17:45.440 you do as president, but I'm sure people tending to you and putting coats on and stuff like that's
00:17:48.960 probably part of the bargain. I imagine as vice president. Okay. Um, this is from Fox news.
00:17:54.220 We've talked about the controversy, the quote unquote controversy, um, around the bachelor
00:17:59.740 and, uh, the host of the bachelor who's now stepped down from his position. And what did he do wrong?
00:18:07.880 Because he was advocating for forgiveness and grace. That's what he did wrong. He was advocating for
00:18:12.360 the forgiveness and grace towards another bachelor contestant who was photographed three years ago at an
00:18:18.460 old South themed frat party, which means apparently that she's racist. So Fox news has the, uh, the
00:18:24.660 latest on this. Rachel Lindsay is speaking out after her interview with bachelor host, Chris Harrison,
00:18:29.060 that led him to stepping away from the franchise. Lindsay, who made history as the first black
00:18:33.320 bachelorette interviewed Harrison and asked about contestant Rachel Kirkconnell's past racist
00:18:37.620 behavior that included attending an old South themed party at a plantation in 2018. Harrison ended up
00:18:43.040 defending Kirkconnell in the interview, which prompted backlash and ultimately led to his decision to step
00:18:46.780 aside for a time of personal reflection. Now, um, yeah, so this, this all stemmed from this interview.
00:18:52.640 Rachel Lindsay was the interviewer and she's a black woman. Um, and now somehow, and I say somehow
00:19:00.240 like rhetorically, but she has become the victim of this or one of the primary victims of Chris Harrison's
00:19:09.000 opinion that he expressed. And here's what she says. Cause she said she was asked herself, like,
00:19:14.040 can you forgive Chris Harrison? Will you ever be able to forgive him? Forgive him for what?
00:19:20.200 Forgiving he, you interviewed him and asked him about something and he gave his opinion about it
00:19:25.200 in the interview, your interview, you were the host, you brought it up and he gave his opinion.
00:19:30.600 Now he has to apologize to you for answering your question.
00:19:33.920 Well, she says she, she really hasn't, she hasn't been able to forgive him yet. Here's what she said.
00:19:40.680 Quote, it's a little hard for me because I lived the experience. There was no apology. The apology
00:19:46.940 came after the fact. So it's hard for me to fully accept it. I'm going to need that time and space and
00:19:52.460 compassion that he referenced to really accept the apology because Chris wasn't apologetic at first.
00:19:57.360 I'm not saying I can't get there. It's just initially it's a little tough for me. Oh, is it a little
00:20:02.080 tough for you, Rachel? It's a little tough for you? It's a little tough for you that you're giving an
00:20:05.660 interview and you asked the guy a question and you answered it. Is that tough for you? Did that make
00:20:09.640 your tummy hurt? No, sorry to hear that, Rachel. First of all, the apology came after the fact. Yeah,
00:20:16.320 that's how apologies work. They can't come before the fact. If someone's apologizing for something
00:20:21.040 before they do it, there's an apology I certainly wouldn't accept. I can't accept the apology because it
00:20:28.160 came after the fact. When else would an apology come? Except in this case, there never should
00:20:33.460 have been an apology because there was nothing to apologize for. Literally all the guy did was
00:20:39.080 advocate grace and forgiveness. That was it. That was his whole stance. But that, not allowed to do
00:20:45.460 that now because grace and forgiveness, that's off the table. It's not, you're not simply wrong for
00:20:51.340 advocating grace and forgiveness. You are now racist yourself. And whoever you, whoever you do this
00:20:57.260 advocacy in front of, they are now a victim of having to listen to you. So this is an interview
00:21:02.500 host victimized by the answers to the questions that she asked. Here's the headline from Buzzfeed.
00:21:11.780 I feel like I'm sort of victimized by this. Emma Stone looks completely unrecognizable as a punk rock
00:21:17.360 version of Cruella de Vil in the first movie poster. So this is something you didn't know you needed,
00:21:22.820 and you still don't need in fact. But Emma Stone is going to be, there's an origin story for Cruella
00:21:28.960 de Vil, the villain from what, 101 Dalmatians. So they've given her an origin story and a lot of
00:21:34.460 people seem to be excited about this. They came out with the trailer yesterday and let's take a look
00:21:39.220 at that. Here's the trailer. From the very beginning, I realized I saw the world differently than everyone
00:21:45.640 else. That didn't sit well with some people, but I wasn't for everyone. I guess they were always scared
00:21:59.840 that I'd be a psycho. But a new day brings new opportunities. And I was ready to make a statement.
00:22:17.160 How does the saying go? I am woman, hear me roar. I'm just getting started, darling.
00:22:44.160 The thing is, I was born brilliant. Born bad. And a little bit mad.
00:23:03.160 I'm Cruella.
00:23:04.200 How completely, absolutely stupid is that? I hope you really did cancel your Disney. There's all the
00:23:17.180 more reason to cancel your Disney Plus. If you didn't already do it, I mean, the canceled Disney
00:23:21.680 Plus thing was happening last week because of them canceling Gina Carano, who now, as you've heard,
00:23:27.380 is part of the Daily Wire team and she's been making a movie for us. But if that wasn't enough reason to
00:23:32.260 cancel Disney Plus, here's, here's another reason, because this is, this is what they're putting out
00:23:35.180 now. The origin story of Cruella de Vil, which, which number one question, why is once again, I have
00:23:45.700 this, this, the same, the same question, but all these different remakes and sequels and origin stories
00:23:51.220 and prequels and everything. There's, why does this, why do we need more of this story? There's not
00:23:57.940 enough there. Cruella de Vil, she, that's a cartoon character. Her entire role, right, is to be a woman
00:24:06.980 who for some reason has a horrible grudge against dogs. Actually, I kind of can relate to her on that
00:24:10.620 level, at least. So if anyone would be on board, given my feelings about dogs, if anybody would be
00:24:16.760 interested, if there's any target audience for the Cruella de Vil origin story, it would be me.
00:24:20.780 And I'm not interested. But her whole role is to be some evil woman who for some reason hates dogs.
00:24:27.960 I mean, there are plenty of reasons to hate it, but she, she, she has a real murderous passion. She,
00:24:31.540 she, and she hates dogs especially. And what she wanted to, what was the plot? She wanted to make a
00:24:35.740 coat out of the dogs and then they had to escape her. Is it, is there enough there for an hour and a
00:24:42.280 half origin story? And who wants to see it? And I guess they're going to turn her into like a cool,
00:24:52.040 kind of like sexy, sympathetic character, but she's a serial killer of animals. That's where
00:24:59.100 this story is heading. Are we going to see that in this movie? Are we going to see when she first
00:25:05.080 starts murdering animals? Is that where this is going? Because I mean, if they're going for like a
00:25:10.400 Joker rated R really disturbing thing, then okay, it's, it's an odd choice, but all right, I can see
00:25:17.980 that. But if they're going for PG, PG-13, cool, fun for kids, I don't see it. How's PETA going to react
00:25:28.020 to this? They are, they are normalizing a woman who abuses animals. I'm offended personally. Five,
00:25:37.020 finally, I may be stretching a little bit by putting this in the headline section, but I,
00:25:40.200 I think it's a headline. It's a headline in my heart anyway. In my mind, it's a headline. I
00:25:44.840 participated along with the other DW guys in a, in a version of the newlyweds game,
00:25:49.140 even though none of us are newlyweds. So our wives were asked questions about us, and then we had to
00:25:54.200 guess the answers, the answers that they gave about us. And you can go to, you can go to the Daily
00:25:58.760 Wire YouTube and watch that video if you want. I allegedly lost the game. I think I came in third,
00:26:04.720 allegedly. I wanted to play this for you. This is one section in particular that has sparked
00:26:09.500 controversy, global controversy. Everyone is talking about this. The question was,
00:26:15.440 that was asked to our wives, what superpower would your husband want to have? Now I said that,
00:26:21.780 I said, number one, I haven't thought about this question because I'm not a child, but if I had to
00:26:25.420 answer it, I would probably want Aquaman's powers. That's what I said. My wife responded,
00:26:32.180 super strength is what she thought my answer would be. Now I said that counts because Aquaman has super
00:26:37.720 strength. But Ben, Ben Shapiro, disagreed. And a vicious, intense debate ensued.
00:26:42.660 Let's listen to that now. Matt, you answered Aquaman. Your wife, she said super strength.
00:26:50.620 I think Aquaman has super strength. That counts because he's got super strength, doesn't he?
00:26:54.560 I'm getting in my head that that does not count. No. Aquaman is not. As a DC guy, no,
00:27:00.340 Aquaman does not have super strength. He happens to be a strong person, but his power is to talk to
00:27:04.060 fish. Come on. His power is magnified underwater also because things are less heavy. So when he's fighting
00:27:08.720 the giant squid or shark, whatever he does, that doesn't take super strength? He's got, he's got
00:27:13.000 the, the, the Trident. The Trident really helps him a lot in that. It's not like a physical one-on-one
00:27:17.480 like brute force. I could pull up a picture of Aquaman right now. He looks like a strong guy to me.
00:27:21.840 Oh no, he's a very strong guy, dude. I mean, Jason Momoa is a monster, but that's just because he's a
00:27:26.720 monster of a human, like in real life, he's a monster. Okay. Well, who's, who's the judge here? Who's
00:27:31.460 deciding? I'm going to decide, and we're going to give you 2.5 out of five points for that,
00:27:35.940 because I do think Aquaman has super strength. There's no other way for him to be fighting those
00:27:40.500 creatures that he's fighting. This is rigged. So we're giving 2.5 points for that one.
00:27:45.660 You can see there, I destroyed Ben with facts and logic. I destroyed him and I got robbed in
00:27:49.920 the end. This is a, this is a scam. I want an audit on these results. This was completely rigged.
00:27:54.940 Now I went and looked this up. Okay. Cause how about do your research, do your research. You want to
00:27:59.100 talk about Aquaman and his powers. I did my research. I went to screen rant.com with it, with an article.
00:28:05.320 Well, um, and they're the authorities on this, I guess I decided 15 powers. You didn't know
00:28:10.740 Aquaman had, well, you might not have known, but I did. And here they go through the powers of
00:28:14.600 Aquaman. The screen rant.com 15 night vision, intense heat resistance, um, telepathy. I mean,
00:28:23.680 Aquaman, this is why I wanted to be Aquaman. Everyone laughed at me when I said Aquaman, well,
00:28:27.220 here you go. He can summon undead sea life. All right. That's, I don't know how often that
00:28:32.760 really comes in handy, but if you wanted to bring a, like a dead octopus back to life,
00:28:36.860 you could do that. Um, 11 access to the clear. I don't know what that means. And then, uh, number
00:28:42.800 10 superhuman strength. They say Aquaman may be the strongest character in the sea, but he's
00:28:49.940 certainly not the strongest on land. In fact, most comic book readers consider him to be the weakest
00:28:53.560 among the justice elite members, but that could not be further from the truth. Aquaman has demonstrated
00:28:57.740 a unique set of skills and superpowers when combating enemies and has even shown the ability to go
00:29:01.780 toe to toe with the man of steel. But how strong is he really? The average Atlantean is able to lift
00:29:08.040 up to two tons, significantly more than the average human. More than the average human, two tons. I don't
00:29:16.660 know about you, but I think that makes superhuman strength. So I should have been awarded five points,
00:29:23.000 not two and a half. I don't know if that's enough to lift me over the top to win the game. But, um,
00:29:29.160 when you account for pain and suffering as well that I endured, I think ultimately I did win that
00:29:35.080 game. So I just wanted to make that clear. And that was your final big news headline. Let's go
00:29:39.420 now to read the comments. Uh, Cade Burstra says, Hey Matt, can you tell us something that you actually
00:29:44.580 enjoy when most people would assume that you hate that thing? Uh, I would say ballet, uh, big,
00:29:51.420 I'm a big ballet fan. Uh, I like to perform in ballet, um, and watch ballet. So that's nobody
00:29:57.740 expected that. That's probably my answer. Individual identity says rest in peace, peace rush. He had
00:30:03.440 bravely faced death. It's sad to see him go. Uh, and yeah, I mentioned that yesterday about him. I think
00:30:08.660 of, uh, you know, uh, another great Testament to him, his final months, uh, on earth. I think he,
00:30:16.000 he faced his own mortality, his own death with a lot of dignity, a lot of, a lot of courage, um, which
00:30:21.280 that time has not come for me yet, but, uh, it could come anytime. So it could come from anyone
00:30:26.900 else. Uh, I imagine, I imagine that that's not easy to do. You know, we, we all spend, I think most
00:30:34.040 of our lives trying to push those thoughts of death and mortality out of our minds. We don't like to
00:30:38.100 think about it. We try to distract ourselves from it. And then, uh, and then, you know, you get that call
00:30:43.280 from the doctor, you get that diagnosis, whatever it is. And now you're, you're staring it right in
00:30:47.780 the face. You can't avoid it anymore. It's right there. I think the reaction of a lot of people
00:30:52.180 probably is to still try to find a way to deny it and try to find sort of a way around it and distract
00:30:57.480 themselves. Um, it seemed like rush was really looking it in the eyes and confronting it for what
00:31:03.960 it was. And that immense amount of respect and admiration for that. Corey Halata says who needs a
00:31:11.140 daily wire membership when the Matt Walsh show is free. Yeah, but stop being a freeloader
00:31:14.680 and get the membership anyway. Uh, Chloe says, Matt Walsh, can you please explain in detail what
00:31:21.040 your burrito tasted like? Yeah, we posted this, uh, if you haven't watched this after this show's
00:31:25.120 over, go to the, to my video, we posted a video of me giving my own burrito recipe. Uh, my, my dream
00:31:30.220 of becoming a TV chef has been fulfilled. Very excited about that. Um, what it tastes like. I almost
00:31:35.140 don't want to give it away because if anyone hasn't seen the video yet, I want them to see it.
00:31:37.620 The only thing I'll say is that it was reminiscent of, uh, sort of like cold vomit. And I mean
00:31:44.540 that in the best possible way. And Kaylee's finally says, if I may ask what the heck is
00:31:49.340 on your wall? Like, is it supposed to be art or I don't know what that is. I've been, I
00:31:54.080 want to make clear. I've been broadcasting from a hotel during the, the, the, the winter
00:31:57.740 disaster. I've been in a hotel cause our studios are shut down and I can't really broadcast in
00:32:02.400 the house before kids there. So this is where I've been in a hotel broadcasting. And so don't
00:32:06.360 blame, you know, the, the, the little bit of decorating and decor you see around. Don't
00:32:11.000 blame me for that. Or more precisely, don't blame, don't blame my wife for that. It was,
00:32:14.340 this is not her doing, this is my hotel's doing. So give them credit or the blame, whatever
00:32:18.460 you want to do. Well, we just celebrated, uh, Valentine's day. Who cares about that? But
00:32:22.760 then we went celebrate, celebrate a president's day. And I'll tell you the reason why I don't
00:32:27.020 celebrate president's day. I'm protesting president's day and the presidency in general is that
00:32:33.140 it has been, this is a problem I've talked about before. It's been over a century since
00:32:39.620 we've had a president with any kind of facial hair and longer than that, since we had a bearded
00:32:43.740 president, this is a real problem. Um, and that's why I was thinking about that. And it
00:32:49.780 made me think even more about our very good friends over at beard supply, believe it or
00:32:53.700 not. You know, there, there are other big celebrations happening this, this, uh, forget about
00:32:58.200 president's day because the beardless presidents, we don't want them. How about February, Harry?
00:33:02.560 Okay. Happy, happy February, Harry, everyone. It's, this is the time of year to get Harry,

00:35:04.220 to our daily cancellation. More than once over the past several months, I have predicted that we would
00:35:12.680 see a reported skyrocket. Uh, we would see a skyrocketing rise of, uh, ADHD diagnoses as millions
00:35:21.060 of children are forced to sit and stare at screens all day in lieu of receiving a real education.
00:35:24.840 That's what I predicted. I think I said it on the show multiple times. I tweeted it. Uh, now,
00:35:29.380 usually I enjoy saying, I told you so. I don't hate saying I told you so. I love saying it. This is
00:35:33.820 not one of the times where I enjoy saying it. Um, this is one of the times where I really do hate
00:35:36.980 saying it, but, but I told you so this week. Um, NBC news reported right on schedule that ADHD
00:35:44.940 diagnoses have skyrocketed during the pandemic. The article by Olivia Solon offers more details,
00:35:50.880 starting with an anecdote. This is what she, this is what she reports. It says Susan McLaughlin's
00:35:55.340 12 year old daughter, Isabella was a straight A student before the pandemic. Isabella, who lives
00:35:59.140 in a suburb, the suburb of a suburb of Columbus, Ohio excelled at science and math and was already
00:36:04.020 getting high school credit for algebra. But when her school shut down in March and classes shifted
00:36:08.100 to zoom, Isabella grade, Isabella's grades took a nosedive. She signed on for her virtual class
00:36:13.240 from a desk piled high with books, papers, and stuffed animals, and then spent hours trying to
00:36:16.960 clean her room instead of focusing on schoolwork. She found herself paralyzed by assignments,
00:36:21.580 McLaughlin said, but she wouldn't tell her teacher over email that she was struggling as she would
00:36:25.120 have done in person. McLaughlin 53, a mother of three from Delaware, Ohio says it was a meltdown
00:36:29.480 after meltdown after meltdown. McLaughlin spent months trying to bring more structure to
00:36:33.900 Isabella's day by writing lists, schedules, timelines, checkboxes. But as someone who was
00:36:38.580 diagnosed with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder herself a decade ago, McLaughlin realized
00:36:43.200 that she was seeing the same behaviors in Isabella. She thought, quote, I've got to nip this in the bud.
00:36:49.400 Isabella is being evaluated by a psychiatrist, a process that takes several hours and requires
00:36:54.320 her teachers to fill out questionnaires about her behavior. McLaughlin hopes that with an ADHD diagnosis,
00:36:59.920 Isabella will be able to get a prescription for a stimulant medication such as Ritalin,
00:37:03.700 Adderall, or something like that to alleviate her symptoms. Okay. Pausing here for a second.
00:37:10.800 Strange. Strange, isn't it? The child was a straight A student. Everything was fine. Then she was confined
00:37:17.240 to a house for a year, put in front of a screen, and suddenly she has trouble learning. She must have
00:37:23.160 a mental disorder. Yes, that must be it. No other explanation comes to mind. More from NBC News. It says,
00:37:30.100 two dozen parents, pediatricians, psychiatrists, psychologists, and researchers all described a
00:37:34.120 crisis among children suffering from inattention and tanking school performance. Data from specialists
00:37:40.600 involved with diagnosing and treating ADHD show just how much parents are struggling to get help.
00:37:46.680 They're flooding an ADHD support line with questions, and ADHD diagnoses and prescriptions for related
00:37:51.140 medications have soared. The number of parents calling a helpline set up for, set up by children and
00:37:56.800 adults with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, that's an organization, a non-profit
00:38:00.140 that supports people with ADHD, rose by 62% since the pandemic started. Traffic to its website last
00:38:07.440 year grew by 77% compared to 2019. Aetna Health, a technology company that creates practice management
00:38:15.360 software for healthcare providers, published research in May drawing on data from its customers
00:38:19.980 that showed an increase in patients aged 13 to 17 who received new diagnoses of ADHD.
00:38:25.040 From the week of March 9th to the week of March 30th, the proportion of visits by teenagers that
00:38:30.220 involve first-time ADHD diagnoses rose by 67%. That was a similar spike among teenagers, especially
00:38:37.240 boys. Okay. It should be, I hope, clear to most people that it's not a coincidence to find so many
00:38:45.420 children having trouble with inattention and hyperactivity when they're cooped up, deprived of their normal
00:38:50.240 outlets like sports and other physical activities and forced to learn through Zoom classes. You know,
00:38:55.760 I suffer quite a bit from inattention when I am forced to sit through even a 15-minute Zoom meeting.
00:39:02.200 I can't imagine doing it every day for hours and being 12 years old on top of it.
00:39:07.940 The trouble here is with the final D in ADHD. That's where I've got an issue, or really both Ds,
00:39:14.220 deficit and disorder. Okay. It's not only wrong, but arrogant and cruel to call a child disordered
00:39:24.820 because he's struggling to learn in an environment like that. The deficit, the disorder is with the
00:39:30.880 environment, not the child. It is disordered to lock kids inside, to try to teach them through a
00:39:38.620 screen. That's disordered. Kids who struggle with that are healthy. It's natural. It's healthy
00:39:45.400 to struggle under those circumstances. Your kids should struggle, actually.
00:39:52.540 Yes, it may help. It may help them sit still to put them on drugs and tranquilize them. But if
00:39:58.560 you're going to do that, and I don't think you should, but if you do it, don't pretend you're
00:40:04.260 treating an illness or a disorder. Don't fool yourself. You know, you need your kid to sit
00:40:10.640 still and look at Zoom for six hours, and so you put them on drugs. All right. I really wish you
00:40:16.660 wouldn't. I think it's terrible to do it. But if you do, at least be honest and do not claim that
00:40:22.300 you're treating a disorder because you know you're not. You know that's not what you're doing.
00:40:26.840 You're trying to get your kid a competitive advantage in this certain environment or context.
00:40:31.240 Okay. Like, a guy who isn't good at baseball is not disordered. Not thriving in baseball is not
00:40:39.880 a sign of a disorder. So if he takes steroids, he's not treating an illness. He can't say that he
00:40:45.240 suffers from a baseball deficiency. No, he's just, he wants to succeed in this specific specialized
00:40:53.080 environment known as baseball. And so he's taking the drug to help him do that.
00:40:56.840 It's the same thing here. A child who doesn't thrive while staring at a screen for five hours
00:41:04.020 is also not disordered. That is not a symptom of a disease.
00:41:09.540 So putting him on drugs, it's like doping. It's just to give him that advantage.
00:41:16.120 Who is to say that children should thrive in that environment? We've decided that we want them to,
00:41:22.620 but that doesn't mean they should. Giving him a drug to help is not a medical decision then,
00:41:29.320 even if a doctor prescribes it. You're also not doing it to help him exactly. The kids are being
00:41:34.900 drugged while they're stuck at home in order to make things easier on the teachers and on the parents
00:41:39.600 and on the system generally. That's who this is for. Now, I think this is probably clear to most people
00:41:46.420 as it relates to the spike in ADHD during the pandemic. I think most people can put two and two
00:41:51.380 together here, right? Here's the part where I might lose you. If you've been with me so far,
00:41:57.340 maybe you turn on me here. I don't know. This same logic applies outside of the pandemic.
00:42:05.220 ADHD diagnoses have been increasing for decades. What we're seeing during the lockdowns is just a
00:42:10.540 dramatic microcosm of our general societal situation. Before the pandemic, and presumably
00:42:15.760 once this is over, whenever that is, we're going to go back to where kids are expected to sit in a
00:42:23.440 classroom with 30 other kids for six or seven hours a day, listening to lectures, filling out
00:42:28.360 worksheets, taking tests based mostly on memorization. Now, I think that's better than
00:42:34.400 them staring at a screen for six hours, but it's still not good, at least not for a lot of kids.
00:42:39.800 Kids who don't thrive in that specific environment, kids who struggle to learn in that environment,
00:42:46.020 kids who struggle to pay attention are diagnosed as disordered and put on drugs. But just as a child's
00:42:54.700 failure to thrive on Zoom shouldn't be considered a symptom of illness, a child's failure to thrive in
00:43:01.720 public school should also not be considered a symptom of illness. See, the ADHD diagnosis is situational.
00:43:09.800 It is diagnosed largely based on how the child's disorder, quote unquote, interferes with school
00:43:15.460 and home life. Other illnesses aren't diagnosed this way. If you take your child to the doctor
00:43:21.160 because you think he has diabetes, the doctor is not going to ask you, is his diabetes interfering
00:43:26.780 with school and home life? That'd be a non sequitur. Who cares what it's interfering with? He's got
00:43:32.260 diabetes. Let's get him treated. But ADHD is only ADHD if it causes problems in these environments.
00:43:39.800 Those are the symptoms. That's how they determine it.
00:43:44.740 The Mayo Clinic's fact sheet on ADHD says this. This is what they say. Okay, reading now from the
00:43:50.460 Mayo Clinic, here's what they say about ADHD. They say, a child who shows a pattern of inattention may
00:43:56.620 often fail to pay close attention to details or make careless mistakes in schoolwork, have trouble
00:44:03.540 staying focused in tasks or play, appear not to listen even when spoken to directly, have difficulty
00:44:09.540 following through on instructions and fail to finish schoolwork or chores, have trouble organizing
00:44:14.280 tasks and activities, avoid or dislike tasks that require focused mental effort, such as homework,
00:44:21.300 lose items based, lose items needed for tasks or activities. For example, toys, school assignments,
00:44:26.460 pencils, be easily distracted. And finally, forget to do some daily activities such as forgetting to do
00:44:32.560 chores. Okay. Yeah, that's how you know that there's a ADHD. Not only does this all sound exactly like
00:44:41.000 every child I've ever met, but it also revolves suspiciously around schoolwork. What I'm arguing is
00:44:49.200 that our underlying assumption here is wrong. We're assuming, so this is really a philosophical thing.
00:44:55.760 Okay. Okay. Um, the, the, the ADHD discussion is a philosophical discussion more than anything
00:45:02.120 else. So you could, I know I'm going to get the emails and everything saying, well, you're not a
00:45:06.460 doctor. How could you be saying this? No, what I'm saying is that the doctors who are diagnosing this
00:45:12.140 stuff, they are going outside of what their realm should be. They're going way above and beyond.
00:45:18.900 They're going way above their own pay grade. And I'll tell you why.
00:45:24.760 Because to, to diagnose ADHD, it is to assume that every child should be able to sit still and
00:45:34.040 pay attention in a public school environment. I'm suggesting that some children, many children
00:45:39.760 can't. And that's not because there's something wrong with them. It's because there's something
00:45:44.980 wrong with us and with the system and with the mold that we are trying to put them in.
00:45:52.020 So I believe that children who exhibit ADHD behaviors exist, obviously. Sure. My sons do
00:45:58.740 and they exist. I do. And I exist. Last I checked. What I don't believe is that those behaviors are
00:46:04.460 disordered. See that? That's again, my issue is with the D here. Disordered. In order to call
00:46:12.340 something disordered, you must first have an idea of what the proper order is. So what's the proper
00:46:18.580 order for a child? How is a child supposed to be? How is he supposed to act? How is he supposed to
00:46:25.500 think? You say an ADHD child thinks the wrong way. Well, what's the right way? Who decided that?
00:46:33.520 An ADHD child has a lot of trouble focusing on schoolwork. Okay. Who's to say he's supposed to
00:46:42.800 be able to do that? Who's to say that he should be able to do that? What do we, someone maybe if
00:46:51.520 you could show me, what is the model brain that we're basing all this on? If you're saying that a
00:46:58.540 child has a deficiency of attention, well, how much attention is he supposed to have?
00:47:04.700 Show me the child who all the other kids are supposed to be like. What are we judging this
00:47:09.740 against? And who decided that? So don't tell me, oh, the doctors decided it. Who gave them that
00:47:19.220 authority? Yeah. Doctor can look and physically diagnose things, but who gives them the authority
00:47:25.080 to decide how a child is supposed to think and how he's supposed to learn? And why have we seeded
00:47:33.620 that, that, those kinds of judgments over to medicine? That's philosophical is what that is.
00:47:42.000 There's a lot of other things too, but it's also philosophical.
00:47:46.420 I suggest again, that the real disorder is with the system.
00:47:49.820 I would argue that if there's an education system that cannot function unless millions of the kids
00:48:00.200 in its care are drugged, then the education system is fatally flawed. That to me is a symptom of the
00:48:08.880 education system being disordered. So I'm going to be the doctor now looking at the education system
00:48:14.120 and diagnosing it. And when I look and see that you can't function, this doesn't work unless millions
00:48:23.020 of kids are on psychotropic medication. Yeah, that tells me there's something wrong here. There's
00:48:30.040 something very wrong and it's not with our kids. It's with the system. And what they're doing now
00:48:37.620 during the lockdown is just evidence of that. They're locking these kids down, making them go to school
00:48:46.420 on a computer. And if it doesn't work, they put them on drugs. It is infuriating and disgusting.
00:48:53.440 And we should all be furious about it. So who's canceled? Everybody, everybody involved. That's,
00:49:04.300 that it's, this is a very general one. ADHD. Maybe that's what's canceled here. And we'll leave it
00:49:09.860 there for today. Thanks for watching. Thanks for listening. Have a great day. Godspeed.
