Today on the Matt Wall Show, I am being cancelled for criticizing the LGBT indoctrination of
00:00:05.360
children. I'll address that today. Also, five headlines including Marjorie Taylor Greene is
00:00:09.480
being called a bigot and a transphobe for defending biological science. West Virginia
00:00:14.140
moves to ban critical race theory and the cruise industry starts to institute vaccine requirements
00:00:19.700
for passengers. Is that a sign of things to come? In our daily cancellation, we'll talk about
00:00:23.560
Canada's recent anti-bullying campaign, which promises to be about as effective as every other
00:00:28.660
anti-bullying campaign, which is not at all. All of that and more today on the Matt Wall Show.
00:00:39.920
Last night after our backstage episode wrapped, which by the way, you should go to dailywire.com
00:00:44.820
or YouTube after you're done with this show to watch it, but only after you're done with this
00:00:48.340
show, I logged onto Twitter to discover that I was trending nationwide. One thing I've learned over
00:00:54.140
the years is that when I trend, it's never because everyone is happy about something I said. I've
00:00:58.460
never trended because everyone is saying, wow, I agree with this point that Matt Walsh made.
00:01:03.820
I'm not sure if anyone trends for that reason, but I certainly don't. For me, it's always because
00:01:07.660
people are very mad, very upset, very outraged about some opinion or some other opinion that I
00:01:12.640
expressed. And that was certainly the case here. In this situation, people on the internet were quite
00:01:18.520
apoplectic about a tweet that I sent out in reaction to a new Gallup poll, which showed that the
00:01:23.540
number of kids and young adults who identify as LGBT has risen in an extraordinary and sudden way
00:01:30.820
over the last few years. This is what I wrote. I said, the number of kids who identify as LGBT,
00:01:36.660
especially trans and bisexual, has absolutely skyrocketed. If you think this is a natural or
00:01:41.420
organic development, you're deluded. The media, Hollywood, and the school system actively recruit
00:01:45.660
children into the LGBT ranks. I followed that up with this. I said, the number of supposedly trans
00:01:51.820
children and young adults is 10 times higher than the number among older generations.
00:01:56.040
Do you think that's because a lot more people are born in the wrong body these days, whatever
00:01:59.620
the hell that means? No, this is social engineering. In our culture, the LGBT lobby poses the greatest
00:02:04.940
threat to our children, especially the T part. So there it is. The opinion that I have been,
00:02:11.940
that's the opinion that I've been reliably informed by thousands of people as detestable,
00:02:16.220
outrageous, hateful, bigoted, and so on. And much of the reaction was exceedingly unhinged.
00:02:21.820
None more so than the response from Parker Malloy over at Media Matters, who sent out a frantic
00:02:28.020
string of tweets implying that I'm a pedophile for these opinions. On what basis were these
00:02:34.920
accusations made? Well, no basis, of course. It's just that Parker Malloy disagrees with me,
00:02:40.860
thus feels entitled to make up literally any lie at all in retribution. Those tweets have all now been
00:02:48.100
deleted, by the way. This is what we're dealing with from the opposition. People scummy enough to
00:02:53.460
defame and slander their ideological opponents, but too cowardly to stand by the defamation.
00:02:59.760
Most of the rest of the tweets and messages I've received have been more along the lines of,
00:03:03.300
you know, calling me a piece of garbage, an idiot, a worthless sack of such and such.
00:03:09.300
First of all, after receiving all of this feedback and seeing that my words were so deeply hurtful to
00:03:17.080
so many people, I want to say with all sincerity that I am not sorry at all, not even a little bit.
00:03:25.780
I couldn't be less sorry for what I said. I'm 100% right. Everything I said was absolutely and
00:03:31.780
totally correct. And I'm so happy that I said it. I am not and could never be sorry for being right.
00:03:38.300
I will. I will, however, happily accept the apologies of any of my critics should they decide
00:03:43.340
to offer them. I'm all ears for that. I am a gracious and forgiving man in that way.
00:03:48.220
But as for being sorry myself, not a chance, not ever, not ever. I am, though, happy to explain why
00:03:55.560
I'm right about what I said. This is an important issue, by far one of the most important issues that
00:04:00.840
our culture faces in the present moment. It's worth talking about in greater detail. So
00:04:04.780
first, let's go back and look at the numbers, OK? According to Gallup, the overall number of
00:04:10.640
Americans who identify as LGBT is up to 5.6%. That's a 1% increase from the last tally in 2017.
00:04:16.740
That's a significant jump in just three or four years. But the truly seismic shifts can be seen
00:04:21.420
among the youngest generations. Among Gen Z, and Gallup defines that as those born between 1997 and 2002.
00:04:28.560
So this doesn't even take into account the very youngest generations, where we can assume the
00:04:34.260
figures are even more dramatic. But among Gen Z, a full 16%, 15.9 to be exact, identify as LGBT.
00:04:43.500
Another 5% have apparently no opinion about their own sexual orientation. Breaking down the numbers
00:04:49.680
further, 2.1% of Gen Zers say they're gay, 1.4% say lesbian. Both of these figures represent at least
00:04:55.640
a doubling over Gen X and older generations. And then another 11.5% say they're bisexual.
00:05:03.940
The number of trans people in Gen Z is almost 2%, 1.8% right now. Now that might seem like a small
00:05:10.740
portion, but keep in mind that 1.8% is nearly 10 times higher, as I said in the tweet, nearly 10 times
00:05:17.840
higher than the portion among Gen X and older generations. And keep in mind again, also, that
00:05:24.140
this does not take into account those who are born after 2002. And it's the after 2002 generation,
00:05:31.720
those who were born while I was in high school, who've really been hit the hardest by LGBT
00:05:36.280
indoctrination. Yes, LGBT indoctrination. That is what's happening here. And I cannot take seriously
00:05:44.620
anyone who would deny it. The drag queen story hours, the trans books for kids, the gender theory
00:05:53.060
propaganda shoved into kids' minds at the youngest ages, the constant promotion of LGBT lifestyles
00:05:59.200
and identities by school, Hollywood, the media, and so on. All of this has two clear and purposeful
00:06:05.340
effects. Number one, it makes it seem trendy and cool to be LGBT. We've gone way beyond mere acceptance
00:06:12.260
or toleration. We have long since gone way beyond those things. It is now for many young people
00:06:18.140
seen as more interesting, more fashionable to be able to tack a few letters from the sacred
00:06:23.900
initialism onto your name. Years of associating being cisgender and white with being privileged
00:06:31.240
and being privileged with being an oppressor and a bully has an impact, it turns out. It's supposed to
00:06:37.920
have an impact. It is designed to have the very impact that it's having. But if you point out that
00:06:44.860
the strategies are working, you'll be called a bigot for noticing that there's a strategy at all.
00:06:50.500
So that's the first thing. The second is that kids are being taught to view sex, gender, and sexual
00:06:56.680
orientation a certain way. They're being indoctrinated into a view of sex and orientation that, when adopted
00:07:03.820
by large numbers of people, will automatically and by design increase the LGBT ranks. For example,
00:07:11.620
kids are being taught now that if you're a boy with feminine tendencies, then you might actually
00:07:15.780
be a girl. If you're a girl with masculine tendencies, you might actually be a boy. Kids are taught that
00:07:20.660
this is a possibility and encouraged to explore that possibility. Back when kids were not being taught
00:07:27.260
this kind of anti-scientific nonsense, a girl with masculine tendencies was just a girl with masculine
00:07:33.100
tendencies. A tomboy, we might have called her. Some girls were that way, and that was fine.
00:07:38.540
Some boys were more feminine, and that was fine too. Now we're ushering those types of girls and boys
00:07:45.080
under the trans umbrella. What we're effectively saying is you can't be that kind of girl or boy
00:07:50.000
anymore. Those don't exist anymore because if you're a feminine boy, then you're a girl. If you're
00:07:54.080
a masculine girl, then you're a boy. Why do you think there are now more young people who call
00:07:59.540
themselves trans than call themselves lesbian? And there are almost as many, and soon will be
00:08:06.760
more, young people calling themselves trans than gay. Why is that? Because we've given young people
00:08:12.660
this new framework for understanding themselves. The problem is that the framework is totally false,
00:08:18.980
incoherent, and based in pseudoscience. So yes, in effect, these children are being recruited to be
00:08:26.860
trans. They're being turned trans. Yes, that is what is happening. Kids are being turned trans.
00:08:36.680
They are being made into something they are not. This is deliberate. It is diabolical. It is damaging
00:08:44.580
and destroying many children. And I will not ever stop calling it what it is, no matter how loud the
00:08:50.940
mob screams or what labels they throw at me. None of that matters to me. What matters is the truth.
00:08:56.580
And this is it. Now let's get to our five headlines.
00:09:06.320
Speaking of which, we'll start here. Number one, Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene
00:09:10.700
tried to, um, tried to block the radical so-called Equality Act, which is a horrifically bad law that
00:09:18.460
we'll discuss at greater length tomorrow. But suffice to say for now that if you haven't read much about
00:09:23.940
this law, um, which Dems are going to vote on this week and they'll pass, you know, this, this is the
00:09:29.700
consequence of Democrats having, uh, both houses of Congress and, and, um, both chambers of Congress
00:09:36.880
and the presidency, you know, they can pass laws like this and the Equality Act will have the effect
00:09:42.180
of basically erasing women legally speaking. And Marjorie Taylor Greene is one of, uh, of the
00:09:51.060
Republicans who has tried to block this, has opposed it. Now the Democrats don't like this. So
00:09:56.840
Democratic Congresswoman Marie Newman responded to this, um, to this move by, by Greene by placing a
00:10:04.740
trans flag outside of Marjorie Taylor Greene's office. And she took a video, which you can see
00:10:10.740
here, she was very proud. And she took a video of herself placing the trans flag outside of the
00:10:18.160
office. Now, my question is, um, you see there, she's putting it in the flag holder right outside of
00:10:26.940
MTG's office. What flag was in that holder before? That's what I want to know. That's my first
00:10:34.440
question. I mean, it's possible they installed a new flag holder, but I, I, I actually doubt they
00:10:39.940
did. My guess is that flag holder was already there. So what flag was occupying that holder
00:10:46.800
before they put the trans flag there? What flag was taken down so that they could put a trans flag
00:10:51.860
in? I'd really like to know the answer to that question. I mean, I have some guesses. Did they
00:10:58.580
take down, did, did this woman take down an American flag to put a trans flag in his place? I don't
00:11:02.980
know. Interesting question though. Now, um, so that's what that's, that was her response. That
00:11:09.220
was the, the high school level response where now we, and by the way, even if they didn't take that,
00:11:15.280
I mean, maybe it was a, it was an empty flag holder or something. Even if they didn't take down,
00:11:19.720
um, the American flag, it is still a disgrace. Uh, and in my opinion, a desecration of the American
00:11:27.860
flag that you would put the trans flag there in this hallway with a bunch of American flags,
00:11:34.020
flags that have real meaning and mean something. You put a trans flag there, you know, sending the
00:11:39.300
symbolic message that this flag is, is, is equal to as meaningful as an American flag. It's not
00:11:44.840
the trans flag doesn't mean anything. What does it mean to have a flag for your orientation or your
00:11:51.500
so-called gender identity? What, what, what do you need the flag for? What is that exactly? The whole
00:11:59.140
idea of, of your, your identity or your orientation having its own flag is absurd. But regardless,
00:12:07.440
there was, um, representative Newman doing that. Well, Marjorie Taylor Greene responds with her own
00:12:13.920
video. Uh, and in, in her video, she, she places a sign that says there are two genders,
00:12:21.240
male and female, trust the science outside of Newman's door. And she also takes a video of her,
00:12:27.500
of her putting herself up, putting that, that sign up there, which I think is great.
00:12:32.400
And now of course, so we have the, okay, here's the video here. Yeah. The sign says there are two
00:12:39.200
genders, male and female. Does it say follow the signs or trust the signs? Trust the signs.
00:12:43.880
And so she puts that, she puts that sign up there. Now you could call this whole thing. It's,
00:12:49.720
it's exceedingly childish on both ends, you could say, but, um, I, I, I'm, I'm going to,
00:12:54.440
I don't think that's the case. I think it's childish on the part of Newman that she started
00:12:58.220
this whole thing, but this is a response in kind. And by the way, it seems like representative Newman
00:13:05.840
and all the other Democrats, this is a reminder that they need, like there, there should be more of
00:13:13.100
those signs saying there, there are two, um, genders. Actually, there are two sexes, you know,
00:13:18.020
because gender is, is, we won't get into this. I don't want to, I don't want to split hairs, but,
00:13:22.260
um, gender is a made up concept as it pertains to human beings. Words, gender is a grammatical
00:13:30.760
concept. Words have gender. Human beings have sex, have, have a sex. You're a male or a female.
00:13:35.840
Now we don't need both of those. And as we've talked about before, uh, this idea that human
00:13:42.840
beings have a gender and a sex was invented out of whole cloth by, uh, a few crackpots in the mid
00:13:50.740
20th century. Principal among them would be John Money, who, as you know, from listening to this
00:13:55.320
show, John Money invented left-wing gender theory back in the 1950s and sixties. Um, he was a, he was a
00:14:01.620
quack. He was a pedophile apologist, an actual pedophile apologist, as in he defended some forms
00:14:06.840
of pedophilia. And, um, and, uh, he, he tested his gender theories on two young boys who later went on
00:14:13.360
to kill themselves. So, uh, this was a theory that he invented out of whole cloth and he tried one
00:14:19.560
experiment to test its legitimacy and it failed so miserably that it ended with the deaths of two
00:14:25.100
people. So anyway, that's why we should say sex, not gender, but regardless, she puts that, uh, that,
00:14:30.640
that sign up, that's a sign that Democrats need to see. That's a reminder that they need.
00:14:37.880
Well, what's happened of course, is that all of the backlash is to Marjorie Taylor Greene and not
00:14:42.880
Newman calling her a transphobe and a bigot and all these things simply for, for affirming
00:14:50.040
the reality of biological sex. And this isn't going to shock you. Probably isn't going to shock you.
00:14:57.320
At least it shouldn't. A lot of Republicans, or at least a few that I've seen and probably more to
00:15:02.560
come have come out against Marjorie Taylor Greene for doing this. Some Republicans in Congress
00:15:07.520
have accused her of, of bigotry for putting that sign up. If you want to know why the Republican
00:15:14.780
party is utterly irrelevant and just lost everything in the last election, that's why not because of
00:15:20.540
Marjorie Taylor Greene, but because of the Republicans that would condemn her for simply asserting the truth
00:15:26.760
of biological science. Okay. Number two, this is from the daily wire. It says West Virginia is the
00:15:31.360
latest state seeking to ban so-called critical race theory from the state's workplaces, schools,
00:15:35.780
and government agencies. House bill 2595 would prohibit discriminatory divisive acts in the
00:15:41.300
workplace and the teaching of divisive acts in West Virginia schools and ban the state funding to
00:15:46.480
agencies who promote divisive acts. Uh, the legislation outlines, um, divisive concepts are defined to
00:15:53.040
include the concept that one race or sex is inherently superior to another race or sex,
00:15:57.220
that the United States is fundamentally racist or sexist, that an individual by virtue of his or her
00:16:02.800
sex race or sex is inherently racist, sexist, or oppressive, whether consciously or unconsciously,
00:16:06.940
um, that an individual should be discriminated against or receive adverse treatments solely or
00:16:12.100
partly because of his or her race or sex, that members of one race or sex cannot and should not
00:16:16.580
attempt to treat others without respect to, uh, to race or sex, that an individual's moral character
00:16:22.340
is necessarily determined by his or her race or sex. So these are all con, this is how they are
00:16:29.280
defining divisive concepts that they're looking to outlaw in the workplace. Um, and then, uh, and,
00:16:36.140
and, and they, they, they go into greater to more detailed definitions as well. I think this is great.
00:16:42.360
I mean, this, this is what state houses need to do, need to pass laws like this.
00:16:47.840
There need to be laws passed. This is what conservatives should be pushing for,
00:16:51.700
not merely complaining about it, but doing something. And one thing that we can do,
00:16:57.680
especially if you control a state house, pass a law against it that needs to happen. Also lawsuits.
00:17:04.840
If you're an employee at Coca-Cola or one of these countless other companies that are singling you
00:17:12.540
out based on your race and insulting you, harassing you based on your race, you need to file a lawsuit
00:17:20.760
to just sit there obediently and take it. If, if, if that's what you're going to do,
00:17:27.540
then it's never going to end file lawsuit, make them defend it in court.
00:17:31.880
And look, the courts are largely run by the left as well. So maybe the lawsuit isn't successful,
00:17:40.860
but we at least have to force them to defend it, force them to go into court in front of a judge
00:17:45.880
and explain how this does not count as racial harassment. Now think about this law, speaking
00:17:53.440
of racial harassment, um, race-based harassment in the workplace is already illegal. So this law
00:18:00.880
shouldn't be necessary. What this law is doing is making something illegal. That's already illegal,
00:18:07.880
but the law is necessary because, because the current law, the current federal law and policies
00:18:14.000
are not being equally enforced. And so now West Virginia is passing another law that that's more
00:18:20.040
specific, make very clear that this applies to all races. It's not just that you're not allowed to
00:18:27.200
racially harass certain races, but you can with others. We shouldn't need a law like this, but we
00:18:32.340
do. And anyone who says that this is an infringement on, um, on, you know, the, the, the rights of
00:18:40.760
business owners or anything, anyone who says that is, is, is, is silly. Um, what this is again doing
00:18:49.640
is outlawing race-based harassment in the workplace. Now, if you want to take the uber libertarian
00:18:56.980
position and say that race-based harassment in the workplace should be allowed for anybody,
00:19:00.820
then go ahead and defend that position. It's not the position I would take, but go ahead and defend it,
00:19:06.520
but make sure you defend it consistent. Um, number three, NBC is getting some backlash
00:19:14.900
over a scene from a show called nurses, which I've never heard of this show before, but apparently
00:19:21.040
it fills the need for another medical drama on network TV because we've only seen about 53,000 of
00:19:27.040
those. So we needed another one. And, uh, and here's this one, this scene portrays a Hasidic Jew
00:19:32.520
refusing a bone graft from a non-Jew, you know, because he's, he's, he's religious and therefore
00:19:38.960
a bigot, according to, uh, the people who come up with these shows. Let's, let's watch this scene.
00:19:44.240
Where does it come from? It's called an aloe bone graft. It's harvested from a deceased donor.
00:20:02.520
Look, you can't be lugging this metal cage around.
00:20:07.780
Ezreal, without this next step, you will never walk properly again.
00:20:27.860
Uh, there's, there's a lot of backlash to NBC for this, as I said. Um, and there should
00:20:33.960
be, because this is obviously, um, making a caricature of religious Jews. And as, as, as
00:20:43.080
far as I'm aware, I'm, I'm no expert on the specifics of Jewish law, but as far as I'm aware,
00:20:47.980
this is completely made up. There is no Jewish law that would prohibit, you know, someone
00:20:53.080
from getting a bone graft, um, from a non-Jew. So they've, they've, they've made up this,
00:20:58.820
this rule of Judaism just so that they could slander religious people. Um, and that's outrageous.
00:21:05.440
We should also note though, that this is what network TV does to Christians every single day.
00:21:11.260
This is, this is, this is, uh, not just anti-Jewish bigotry or anti-Christian, it's anti-religious.
00:21:19.820
That's what we're getting. I mean, they, they love to make the religious people, the villains.
00:21:25.760
If they need a stand in, if they, if they need just a scene with some sort of ignorant person,
00:21:30.060
well, make them religious. And as Christians, we've been dealing with this for years where they,
00:21:34.900
they, they, they'll, they'll make up rules of Christianity that don't exist or a whole new
00:21:41.380
form of Christianity doesn't exist. Uh, just so that they can have a character who adopts that
00:21:47.840
made up form and then they can use that to slander Christians in general. So we've seen this over and
00:21:52.840
over again. It is an anti-religious thing with one exception. So it's anti-religious. Um, the only
00:21:59.140
exception would be of course, Islam. So you're never going to see a scene like that on network TV,
00:22:04.340
especially on a network like NBC where that person is a Muslim objecting to, you know, a bone graft from
00:22:12.120
an infidel infidel. So they make the one exception, but all other religions they hate, except for the
00:22:21.380
religion, obviously of, of, uh, of leftism, which is itself its own religion. Number four, I'm sorry,
00:22:26.540
I have to do this, but, but I think I do. Um, the Tik TOK singers are at it again and I need to play
00:22:33.040
these for you. A lot of people complain when I play this stuff. They say, you know, why are you
00:22:39.140
subjecting us to this? Well, it's for your own good, for your own good. Now sit down, shut up
00:22:44.420
and listen to this. If I had to hear it, then so do you. We've got two now. We've got two Tik TOK
00:22:50.420
singers. We'll play the first one. This is a teacher in her classroom. So at least she's, she's,
00:22:55.360
she's at school. She's back in class. I don't know where this teacher is, but she's in the classroom.
00:22:59.220
Good for her. Except the only problem is that she's in the classroom so that she can record
00:23:03.660
Tik TOK singing videos. And here it is. Let's listen. If you don't believe that there's white
00:23:08.520
privilege, please don't teach. If you don't believe that black guys matter, please don't teach.
00:23:14.380
If you don't believe in systemic racism and how it negatively impacts our students of color
00:23:18.840
and don't want to help dismantle those systems, please don't teach.
00:23:22.520
Oh dear Lord. The thing that always gets me with these videos is the expression. You can see the
00:23:30.200
expression on her face, the expression they made that on their face at the end of it. They're so
00:23:34.380
proud of themselves and they feel like they've really accomplished something. I don't know what
00:23:38.860
they think they've accomplished. What are you, what are you going for here? What result are you hoping
00:23:45.820
for it? Because all you're going to get is mockery and scorn from almost everybody.
00:23:55.240
I assume you didn't want that. What did you think was going to happen? Did you think that the internet,
00:23:59.900
you would put this out there into cyberspace and the response from the internet would be, wow,
00:24:05.080
wow, gee, that's a great song. Miss, can you sing another? That one was pretty bad. This one's even
00:24:11.340
worse. Let's listen. If you're white, yes, you are racist. Even if you think you're woke,
00:24:18.280
we all benefit from oppression. Pretending you're not racist only makes racism grow.
00:24:25.980
Kind of like the first song better. I have to say the first song was a little bit catchier.
00:24:30.460
She needs some work on that one. Wasn't a big fan there. It's probably not worth dissecting,
00:24:37.480
you know, the, the argument such as it was, which she presented there. But, um,
00:24:43.700
she seems to be saying that she says, if you're white, you're racist. And the reason why you're
00:24:48.860
racist as a white person, because you, you benefit from oppression, which now I reject that premise.
00:24:55.740
I don't think that every white person automatically benefits from oppression and most of what she would
00:25:00.320
consider oppression, I don't think is oppression at all. But, uh, but even if that were true,
00:25:04.500
how does that make you racist? I mean, for the sake of argument, if you, even if I were to agree
00:25:09.320
that white people benefit from oppression, why does that make them racist automatically?
00:25:13.940
Well, she can't explain. She doesn't need to explain it. That's why she's singing.
00:25:19.980
Um, all right, we'll move on. Finally, the, the daily wire has some unfortunate news. If you're
00:25:24.160
planning to take a cruise anytime soon, it says crystal cruises has announced a plan to require
00:25:29.620
all passengers to be fully vaccinated against COVID-19 at least 14 days before they take a
00:25:34.420
voyage on their ships and passengers will have to provide proof of the vaccination company said
00:25:39.360
in a statement, the company has, uh, voluntarily passed or paused operations through May, 2021 for
00:25:45.400
its river fleet into June for its ocean ships ships and through August 1st for crystal East spirit,
00:25:51.900
allowing most travelers sufficient time to get fully vaccinated before crystals resumption of
00:25:56.940
sailing. The company said it hopes by the time it resumes operations, vaccines will be widely
00:26:01.260
available to Americans. Um, and then there are, let's see last November, a top travel industry
00:26:09.560
association said it was in the final stages of developing a digital passport for international
00:26:13.740
travelers so they can prove that they've been vaccinated for COVID-19. Um, and it looks like a
00:26:19.640
number of other cruise companies have also adopted this. Uh, crystal is the fourth company to
00:26:24.900
announce it will require vaccines for its passengers. American queen steamboat company and victory
00:26:29.760
cruise lines both did so earlier this month. So it seems so far, this is something we're mainly
00:26:35.980
seeing from the cruise industry requiring vaccinations. Will it become a trend that catches
00:26:41.680
on? Uh, I mean the major airlines will, I think a few airlines are right now, at least regional
00:26:46.540
airlines. Well, the major Delta, you know, we'll start seeing that. I don't know. Um, if, if,
00:26:52.580
if this has the effect of discouraging people from going on a cruise, then probably all for,
00:26:56.920
for, for the best, honestly, I don't know why you'd want to go on a cruise anyway,
00:27:01.580
especially now after we saw what happened. I mean, we think back to last spring, there were
00:27:09.700
these horror stories, COVID breaks out on the ship and everyone's quarantined on the ship
00:27:14.220
in their little cabins for weeks. But even aside from that, I can tell you as someone who's been,
00:27:20.020
I went on one cruise one time and, um, I can tell you it's, it's not the way to travel.
00:27:27.240
It just isn't the one advantage of the cruise. There's, there's only one good thing about a cruise
00:27:31.500
and that is the food. You just eat. All you do on the cruise is constantly eat. There's always
00:27:40.720
some sort of buffet available and you're constantly eating and drinking too. And the way they get you on
00:27:48.460
the cruise is that they give you at least the cruise that I went on. I don't know if I'm assuming
00:27:51.760
this is probably the universal standard, but they give you a little card. They don't charge for the
00:27:56.340
drinks. The food is actually free. The drinks seem like they're free. They don't charge you for it at
00:28:01.560
the time, but they give you this nice little nifty card. And it's not, it's not like a credit card.
00:28:05.680
It's just, it's just a nice little card. And every time you get a drink, they, you just hand them the
00:28:09.200
card. They quickly swipe it. No big deal. And you're drinking, you're having a good time.
00:28:13.520
Um, and then on the last day of the cruise, they stick that bill under the door for all the drinks
00:28:18.260
you had. And then you look at that and say, did I really drink $800 worth of booze in three days?
00:28:24.520
Apparently I did. So stay away from cruises. All right, let's go to, uh, reading the comments now.
00:28:30.880
This is from username is Ted Kaczynski. I'm, I'm, I'm thinking not the actual guy, but who knows?
00:28:36.760
Uh, he says, teach statistical literacy, not critical race theory. Yeah, I, I, I agree. We
00:28:43.720
talked yesterday about how Americans, uh, court, according to a survey by skeptic magazine,
00:28:48.920
Americans vastly, uh, overestimate the number of unarmed black men that are killed by police every
00:28:56.320
year. I mean, there, there's a preponderance of Americans. I think that like a thousand or 10,000
00:29:03.020
unarmed black men are killed by police every year. And a lot of that goes to, like we talked about
00:29:09.480
media propaganda. This is, this is the, the, the disinformation campaign from the media bearing
00:29:14.540
its fruits. But yeah, it does, it does also speak to, um, a more general problem that I've noticed
00:29:20.120
among Americans, which is having no concept of how statistics work, no way to measure these things
00:29:27.720
in your head. Cause even if you have bought into media disinformation, I mean, 10,000 a year,
00:29:38.980
this is something that they should be teaching in schools is statistics. How do they work?
00:29:45.520
Giving people a good sense of them, but, um, no, they're not, they're not focused on that.
00:29:50.560
Sarah Wooten says personally, Matt, in addition to the longer shows, I would also like for you to star
00:29:55.340
in a movie as Gina, as Gina's rollerblading crime-fighting sidekick. Otherwise you're
00:30:01.480
canceled. Well, Sarah, you know, I don't like when people make demands. Normally I would ban you from
00:30:06.080
the show for that, but, uh, I love the suggestion and I would do that in a heartbeat. Um, Ali Boo
00:30:14.100
says, I would rather have one giraffe than 10,000 people. Well, if that's the case, then you're a
00:30:19.860
sociopath. See, I always assume that the people who pretend to value animals over people are doing
00:30:26.720
just that pretending. But if you actually would value a giraffe over, over a person, maybe I should
00:30:33.380
start taking people more seriously when they make this claim. Because if that's really the case,
00:30:37.900
then you're simply a sociopath. So I'm going to hope that it's not. Um, Luca says, Matt,
00:30:46.460
what do you use as bait for fishing? Um, I, you know, I'm tend to, I'm more of a finesse
00:30:51.060
fisher. So I, I fishermen, so I use the rubber worms and that kind of thing. I tend to, to go
00:30:56.920
more with that. I like those over the moving baits. The youth of the nation says, you know,
00:31:00.940
you're young when Matt says Walkman and cassette, and you think he's speaking Russian. Great show,
00:31:06.000
Matt. Yeah, well, that's, that's the cutoff. So you, you, you, you, you missed the days of, uh,
00:31:11.600
not just Walkman and cassette, but that was back in the day. If you wanted to make a,
00:31:16.020
a mixtape, you don't know anything about this because you're a youngster. But back in my day,
00:31:20.640
you would have the recording cassette, empty cassette. You know, you put it in your boom box.
00:31:26.160
And if you wanted to make a mixtape, you would sit by the radio and wait for them to play that,
00:31:30.620
your favorite song and hit, hit play and record. And you'd make your, it could take,
00:31:35.040
it could take all day. It could take 16 hours to get like the seven songs you want on your mixtape.
00:31:39.060
That took effort. You kids don't know anything about that these days. Um,
00:31:46.240
Asian egg says should probably skip the next episode. I think it's going to be real bad.
00:31:51.520
Episode six, six, six. Yeah. A lot of comments about the fact that this show is episode six,
00:31:56.800
six, six. That's true. I'm not worried about that. I just want to say I'm not superstitious,
00:32:00.620
just a number. So relax. Besides I sprinkled the studio with holy water before the show. So
00:32:07.080
I think we're good. It's more important now than it's ever been to support companies that have
00:32:13.620
morals to support companies that support us in the culture companies that are, they're working
00:32:18.680
for us and with us, um, as conservatives and pro-lifers. And one company that fits that
00:32:24.120
description to a T is charity mobile. They're the pro-life phone company. And they earn that,
00:32:28.800
uh, that, that label, uh, by for one thing, 5% of your monthly plan price goes to the pro-life
00:32:36.200
pro-family charity of your choice. And that's, you know, that's, that's the charity that comes
00:32:40.600
with it so that you're, you're getting a great service and you know that you're doing good work
00:32:44.280
at the same time. You're helping the pro-life cause. You're also supporting a company that's a,
00:32:47.960
that helps the pro-life cause. And on top of that, there are a lot of great perks as well.
00:32:51.200
You get new activations and eligible accounts, uh, get a free cell phone with free activation and
00:32:55.300
free shipping. There's no contract. There's no termination fees. And, uh, what I always tell
00:33:00.200
people when they ask about charity mobile is there's no risk with a 30 day guarantee. So you might as well
00:33:04.060
give it a shot, try it out. Um, and I think you're going to, you're going to love charity
00:33:08.460
mobile. They also have live customer service based right here in the USA. On top of that
00:33:12.460
free usage alerts, free apps to monitor your usage, pay your bill and much more.
00:33:17.940
So there's the convenience that comes with it as well, but it all comes down to the fact that
00:33:21.640
you're helping to build a culture of life in America while supporting a pro-life phone company.
00:33:26.540
And you get that nationwide service on America's largest and most reliable 4g LTE network.
00:33:31.700
I use charity mobile. That's, that's service I go with and I couldn't be happier with it.
00:33:36.140
No complaints at all. Call us at a 1-877-474-3662 or chat with them online at charity mobile.com.
00:33:45.580
Uh, also, you know, there are so many narratives around hot topic, hot topic issues, and it's
00:33:49.760
hard to keep track of all the newest controversies that the left decides to be offended by. It's
00:33:54.420
always a new thing every day. So get ready for the daily wires, newest show soon to be released.
00:33:58.100
That's debunked where Ben Shapiro exposes leftist fallacies in 15 minutes or less climate change,
00:34:03.840
universal healthcare, COVID policies, all these. He's using facts and logic going up against the
00:34:08.420
media narrative. This show will be available exclusively to daily wire members. So if you
00:34:12.260
aren't already a member, go to daily wire.com slash subscribe and use code debunked to get 25%
00:34:18.120
off. You'll want to miss Ben. So use code debunked to get 25% off. Now let's get to our daily
00:34:23.180
cancellation. Today, we're going to cancel Canada again. This makes Canada now the most
00:34:31.000
canceled country, a well-deserved distinction. This time they're in for a cancellation because
00:34:35.320
of something called pink shirt day, which was evidently observed yesterday. Here is the
00:34:41.080
premier of Ontario, Doug Ford, explaining it. Today is pink shirt day. It's a day when people
00:34:47.860
come together by wearing pink to school or work to show they're against bullying. Bullying
00:34:54.440
hurts. If you're being bullied, know that you aren't alone. Reach out and talk to someone
00:35:00.720
you trust. Everyone should feel safe, supported and accepted wherever they go. We all deserve
00:35:08.860
to be treated with dignity and respect. On pink shirt day, wear pink and stand up against bullying
00:35:16.520
and promote the importance of being kind. Reach out. Reach out. It's like kind of like oat. Reach
00:35:25.880
an oat. Reach out. Say your story. Yes, we're going to end bullying by wearing a pink shirt. And if
00:35:33.700
that doesn't work, we can try a blue shirt, maybe a red shirt. Red may be the ticket. Red means stop.
00:35:38.860
So bullies will see the red shirt and they'll think, I should stop bullying. At which point
00:35:43.340
they'll open up the locker and let the nerd run free again. Who knows? You know, it could work that
00:35:48.380
way. Probably not, but it could. You know, we haven't heard as much about bullying this past year with
00:35:53.220
kids locked in their homes, staring at screens. The traditional forms of bullying have temporarily
00:35:58.660
receded into the background, though that's only increased opportunities for the cyber bullies to do
00:36:04.500
their worst, unfortunately. But once all the schools are opened again, whenever that is,
00:36:08.300
hopefully within the next decade, these anti-bullying campaigns will return to prominence.
00:36:13.980
And the thing about anti-bullying campaigns is that they're always as painfully ridiculous and
00:36:19.720
ineffectual as pink shirt day in Canada. There has never been an anti-bullying campaign that's
00:36:25.860
managed to rise above the pink shirt day tier. Why is that? I'm glad you asked. The problem with
00:36:33.140
anti-bullying campaigns is that they focus on the wrong person. Now I'm quite certain that what I'm
00:36:39.440
about to say here will be wildly misconstrued and taken out of context, par for the course,
00:36:44.120
but I'll say it anyway. The real problem with bullying today is the way the bullying is handled
00:36:50.000
by the victim. Call this victim blaming if you want. That's not the label I would use,
00:36:55.600
but either way, this is my point. There have always been bullies in the world, right? There
00:37:02.040
always will be bullies in the world. We've all been guilty of bullying at some point, probably many
00:37:07.100
points in our lives. We've also been the victims of bullying at some point, probably many points in
00:37:12.460
our lives. The bully and victim camps are the same camp. It would be nice if we could keep the two apart,
00:37:19.600
very neatly. You've got the bullies here, you've got the victims here. Bad guys, good guys. But we
00:37:25.520
can't because they're all together. They're all a jumbled mess. It's like trying to divide the world
00:37:30.980
between those who tell lies and those who are lied to. It may be true that some people obviously are
00:37:37.880
more honest than others, but does anyone want to claim that they've never told a lie? If you do make
00:37:42.780
that claim, well, that's just another lie to add to your list. So bullying is something that we've all
00:37:48.860
experienced on both ends. That's because we're human beings and we're flawed. And sometimes we
00:37:56.740
can be mean to each other. That's especially the case when we're kids. What this means is that
00:38:02.400
there's no reason to think that bullying happens more now than it ever did, or that it's worse now
00:38:08.180
than it ever was. Bullying is born from our nature as human beings. And our nature as human beings
00:38:13.480
hasn't changed in the last 10 years or 20 years or whatever. Yet it does seem like kids today are
00:38:19.640
more affected by bullying than they've ever been. They're developing complexes and neuroses and
00:38:26.140
insecurities, sometimes to a crippling extent. Some children in the most extreme cases end up killing
00:38:30.360
themselves. Something that was simply unheard of back in the old days. I mean, you didn't hear about
00:38:36.040
a 12-year-old child killing themselves because they were bullied. Certainly not as common as it is
00:38:41.220
today. The popular explanation for this change is that the bullying is worse, more common, more
00:38:47.560
vicious, and so on. But I don't think there's much evidence for that. And as I said, an understanding
00:38:52.580
of human nature leads one to doubt that bullies would be any meaner now than they've ever been.
00:38:58.440
The issue, it would seem, is that kids today are more vulnerable to the bullying, less emotionally
00:39:03.960
and psychologically equipped to confront it and handle it. Is it just a matter of kids being soft or
00:39:10.340
weak? No, that would be a gross oversimplification. The problem is that kids today, because they spend
00:39:16.200
all day around their peers in public school, lockdowns nonwithstanding, and they carry that
00:39:22.580
peer culture around with them in their pockets on their phones, which means that even when they're
00:39:27.900
not in school, still they can't escape it. Because of this, they've become desperately dependent
00:39:34.700
on their peers for acceptance and approval. Kids have always wanted acceptance and approval from
00:39:39.700
their friends, obviously. Everybody wants that. Everyone's always wanted that. The difference is
00:39:44.420
that through the school system and modern technology, kids today cannot ever get away from each other.
00:39:50.160
They are always around each other in some form, always immersed in each other's business,
00:39:55.640
each other's lives. This not only has the effect of conditioning them to seek approval constantly,
00:40:00.660
but it also raises the stakes. It means that the consequences of being shamed by your peers,
00:40:05.640
rejected, humiliated, those consequences cannot ever be escaped from the child's perspective.
00:40:11.920
Mockery at school turns into mockery online. It's everywhere. You can't just go home and it goes
00:40:16.900
away at least for a few hours. It doesn't work that way. So when I say that the problem with bullying
00:40:22.020
today is the way that the bullied kids are more vulnerable to it, that is not to blame the victim.
00:40:27.020
It's not our children's fault that this is the world we've given to them. It's our fault.
00:40:32.680
But we should understand that the bullying is not the problem in and of itself. The bullies we will
00:40:37.500
always have with us. The problem is that we've thrown our kids into an environment where they are
00:40:42.820
at the bully's mercy all the time, everywhere, and they are conditioned more than any other generation
00:40:49.060
of children in history to depend on the approval of their peers. Which means that when that approval
00:40:55.160
is rescinded, the effect can be dire, even fatal. So, what's the answer? The answer is for parents
00:41:04.880
to, as much as possible, insulate their children from this suffocating, stifling, ubiquitous peer
00:41:11.940
culture. Give them a life outside of that. Give them a chance to breathe. Orient them so that they
00:41:18.060
look somewhere else for approval and affirmation. They look to you, hopefully. That's where they should
00:41:23.440
be looking. Parents who send their kids to public school, especially these days, and we've gotten
00:41:30.660
so used to this. We take it for granted. We think it's just, this is the way it's supposed to be. But
00:41:34.160
there is oftentimes a very sudden moment, like a moment in time that parents can tell you about
00:41:39.920
when, you know, their kid is just a normal kid and they love mommy and daddy and they want approval
00:41:50.100
from their parents. And then something happens and it's like a severing. And they don't care about
00:41:56.600
their parents anymore. They don't care what their parents think. They even like hate their parents
00:42:02.180
for no apparent reason. And it's all about their peers. You know, and this can happen, happens at
00:42:10.060
different ages. It can happen at the age of, of nine years old. It happens at 12, 13. Now, parents
00:42:17.460
talk about this like it's normal. Like it's the way it always is. It's just how kids are. It's not
00:42:21.700
normal. It's normal now. It doesn't have to be. We've set up our culture so it works this way,
00:42:27.080
but it shouldn't work this way. The reason why it happens is because the kids again are immersed in
00:42:33.740
that peer culture so much that at a certain point, and it can happen very suddenly, they just stop
00:42:40.360
caring about anything or anyone else. The goal then should be to get them to look to you as the parent.
00:42:52.160
Now, this is hard to do, but that has to be our goal as parents. And that means maybe not
00:42:56.900
giving your 12-year-old a smartphone. Carefully regulate his time online. Force him to have a
00:43:03.680
life, a real life. Homeschooling could be a big help here. Give your child the sort of emotional
00:43:09.800
and psychological conditioning that he needs, the sort of living condition that he needs in order
00:43:14.820
to deal with the bullies when they come, which they will, because that's life and it's not going to
00:43:20.440
change. And that's why, who's canceled again? Canada. That's why Canada is canceled. And we took
00:43:30.880
a long path around to get back around to Canada is canceled, which, I mean, really Canada would
00:43:36.600
have been canceled regardless of any of this anyway. It was just time for another one. I was
00:43:41.380
looking for an excuse and I found it. A little bit of an example right now of bullying. This is me
00:43:46.120
bullying Canada at the moment, but they deserve it. So that's it. Canada's canceled. We'll leave
00:43:50.000
it there for today. Thanks for watching. Thanks for listening. Have a great day. Godspeed.
