Today on The Matt Wall Show, the left detects Nazi symbolism at CPAC.
00:00:03.700
There really are Nazis everywhere with these people. What does that tell us exactly? We'll
00:00:07.720
talk about that today. Also, five headlines, including a brave congressman standing up
00:00:12.020
against the mask cultists, public health officials in Canada recommending solitary
00:00:16.120
confinements for all children exposed to COVID, and LeBron James bravely vowing to continue
00:00:22.080
speaking out against all injustices that happen anywhere but in China. Plus,
00:00:25.620
our daily cancellation and much more today on The Matt Wall Show.

I have to admit, I'm a big procrastinator myself. I procrastinate on pretty much everything. But
00:00:40.240
there are some things that you don't want to procrastinate on because when it's too late,
00:00:43.920
it's too late. One of those things is life insurance. You don't want to procrastinate with
00:00:47.300

So go to PolicyGenius.com to get started. PolicyGenius, when it comes to insurance, it's nice to get it
00:01:59.700
right. So CPAC, the annual conservative confab, happened this past weekend, usually in the D.C. area.
00:02:06.640
This time it was held in Florida. Several controversies erupted out of the gathering this
00:02:10.880
year, as can be expected, but none more important or disturbing than the revelation as exposed by a great
00:02:17.560
many left-wing media outlets and journalists online, that the entire CPAC stage in the main event hall
00:02:23.520
was really a giant secret Nazi symbol. According to the conspiracy theorists, who are the good kind
00:02:30.720
of conspiracy theorists, remember, not the bad kind, according to them, the stage was in effect a dog
00:02:36.400
whistle, a message to the underground army of white supremacist Nazis in this country. It was a sort of
00:02:42.300
bat signal, you might say, if Batman was a Nazi. And frankly, given that he was rich and white,
00:02:47.520
he probably was a Nazi, come to think of it. In any event, many frantic tweets like this one were
00:02:52.760
sent out on Saturday. This is from a guy named Ben Jackson, who writes for a number of media outlets,
00:02:57.780
and he said, this is the CPAC stage designed below. It is a rune which was used by the SS.
00:03:04.340
This is the stage from which Ted Cruz screeched freedom. Now, Elise Hogue, who's the president of
00:03:10.720
NARAL, a militant pro-abortion organization, chimed in and said, the CPAC stage resembles a
00:03:16.740
known SS Nazi insignia. Generously, let's assume the design was an error. They should immediately
00:03:22.880
release an apology and change up the stage. Not doing so will convey the most reprehensible intent.
00:03:29.920
Ah, okay. All right. Well, all they have to do is literally tear down their stage and rebuild it in
00:03:35.060
the middle of the event. If they don't do that, then they're Nazis. So what's it going to be, CPAC?
00:03:40.640
Are you going to call in a construction crew and rebuild your stage while President Trump is standing
00:03:45.920
on it to speak? Or will you admit your Nazis? Those are your two choices. Checkmate. Now, here's Slate
00:03:53.560
with more information about the Nazi stage. They say, quote, Matt Schlapp, the head of the American
00:03:58.900
Conservative Union, who organizes the Conservative Political Action Conference, is pushing back against
00:04:03.880
those who said that the stage for the event that is taking place in Orlando is eerily reminiscent to a
00:04:08.020
Nazi symbol. Quote, stage design conspiracies are outrageous and slanderous, Schlapp tweeted. He went on
00:04:14.860
to say that CPAC proudly stands with our Jewish allies. The fact that Schlapp felt the need to comment on
00:04:21.020
the issue illustrates just how pervasive the comparisons had become on social media, as many pointed out that
00:04:26.160
the shape of the stage looked like a Nazi symbol. Specifically, many said the stage looked like a version
00:04:31.820
of the Odal rune, also referred to as the Othala rune. The symbol dates back centuries, but was also
00:04:37.920
used by some Nazi SS divisions during World War II. The symbol was emblazoned on uniforms of some Nazi
00:04:44.640
soldiers. Okay, there you go. The stage looked like the Othala rune, which was used by some Nazi SS
00:04:52.400
divisions in World War II. What, you didn't know what the Othala rune was and had no idea that this
00:04:59.140
seemingly innocuous shape was associated with it? And what's that? You have not memorized every shape
00:05:05.160
and insignia that appeared on every uniform of every Nazi division? Well, that's only because
00:05:10.240
you're a Nazi yourself. Or, wait a second, maybe that doesn't make any sense. See, personally,
00:05:17.620
I saw the CPAC stage and thought nothing of it because I'm not an expert on obscure Nazi symbolism.
00:05:24.340
A lot of leftists apparently are such experts or pretend to be, which leaves us with two options.
00:05:31.480
Either these people spend a lot of time studying Nazis and Nazi symbolism and are super into it,
00:05:39.280
which raises all kinds of suspicions, if you ask me. Or, more likely, almost all of them had no idea
00:05:45.340
that this shape had anything to do with the Nazis, but then they learned about it on Twitter and
00:05:49.260
immediately decided that it was impossible that the CPAC organizers could have been as ignorant as they
00:05:54.120
were on the subject. This is a common move on the internet, of course, not just people, you know,
00:05:59.420
accusing people of being Nazis, that's common, but also the thing where you learn about something and
00:06:03.740
then five seconds later, you're mocking everybody else for not knowing the thing that you also didn't
00:06:08.180
know prior to five seconds ago. But the whole controversy does raise two points. First of all,
00:06:16.340
though I know that pointing out double standards from the left seems rather fruitless at this point,
00:06:20.300
I do have to make this observation. These people just a few weeks ago were canceling Gina Carano
00:06:26.420
for making a Nazi comparison. And now here they are comparing the CPAC stage designers to Nazis
00:06:33.360
because the shape vaguely resembles an old Nordic symbol that some SS divisions briefly used on their
00:06:39.220
uniforms 80 years ago. So we're used to the hypocrisy, of course, but this is egregious even by left-wing
00:06:45.560
standards. Second, it's worth reflecting on the fact that the people accusing CPAC of intentionally
00:06:52.740
setting up its stage to look like a Nazi symbol are not all being disingenuous. I mean, certainly a
00:06:58.880
portion of them are. Some of them know how ridiculous the claim is and are saying it anyway.
00:07:03.180
Good old-fashioned political slander. But the really disturbing and also kind of remarkable thing is
00:07:08.580
that many of these people truly believe it. They truly believe that the CPAC stage was a Nazi symbol
00:07:16.100
because they truly believe that CPAC itself is a Nazi gathering and that conservatives in general
00:07:22.480
are mostly Nazis. I know we're used to this also by now, but think about it. Really think about it.
00:07:29.960
If you're a conservative, a sizable number of your ideological opponents, honest to God,
00:07:35.700
believe that you are an actual Nazi or Nazi sympathizer. The people putting this idea into
00:07:42.720
their heads, they know better. But the average dupe doesn't. They believe it. They believe that
00:07:50.100
they are in a fight against literal Nazis. You know that I'm highly skeptical that there can ever be unity
00:07:57.400
in this country again. In general, I'm skeptical of that. But if it's going to happen, if there's any hope
00:08:03.900
of it happening, it would have to start, bare minimum, with the left acknowledging that their
00:08:09.860
political opponents are not actual Nazis. I mean, we couldn't unify simply based on that fact alone.
00:08:16.480
We can't say like, yay, we're all not Nazis. Let's unite. There needs to be more to it than that.
00:08:22.360
But admitting that your opponents are not Nazis is certainly a necessary first step.
00:08:27.580
And on the left, even that step is too much. Even that is a bridge too far. Even that is more
00:08:36.100
ground than they are willing to concede. And hopefully, if nothing else, this will put into
00:08:43.600
perspective our chances of ever having unity at all in this country. Now let's get to our five
00:08:49.940
headlines. A little more CPAC news. This was interesting. I thought the CPAC straw poll
00:09:00.380
attendees at the event, and remember, of course, these are self-selected conservative activists. So
00:09:05.800
not a true cross-section of Republicans generally, but even so. Attendees, according to the poll,
00:09:14.320
people, for 2024 right now, they like Trump by 55%. So 55% said they would want to see Trump as the
00:09:22.740
nominee. 21% said DeSantis, and then Gnome was 4%, and then everybody else was. So it's like Trump,
00:09:31.520
and then a wide margin, DeSantis, another huge margin, and then Gnome, and then another pretty
00:09:37.600
big margin, and then everybody else. Now, if Trump is not an option, then they like DeSantis
00:09:43.780
with 43%, putting him way far ahead of the rest of the pack. And then Gnome would come in second,
00:09:49.520
and then everybody else. Probably you take it all with a grain of salt, because we're three,
00:09:58.400
four years away from any of this really making a difference, and a lot can happen in the next
00:10:03.320
three to four years. So trying to predict, four years out, trying to predict who's going to be
00:10:11.320
the nominee. It's kind of like if you watch ESPN right now, and they're trying to fill time. If
00:10:16.340
you watch the NFL shows on ESPN right now, they're trying to fill time, and they're predicting even
00:10:20.560
before the NFL draft who the Super Bowl winner is going to be in 2022. It's a little bit absurd,
00:10:26.800
but if we are going to take anything from this, I would have to say that this is really good news
00:10:33.580
for DeSantis. Not surprising news, and they are in Florida. Keep that in mind too, but good news for
00:10:39.980
DeSantis. Not great news for Trump. If there's anything surprising about this, only 55% at CPAC said
00:10:49.120
they want to see Trump as the nominee. Now, what that tells me is if this were to hold up,
00:10:56.860
then obviously Trump, if he runs for the nomination, he's going to get it. I don't think
00:11:02.980
there's any doubt about that. Yeah, a lot can happen in three or four years, but I don't see,
00:11:06.860
like there's nothing that could happen that would stop that. If he runs, he's going to get the
00:11:09.740
nomination. But this would seem to indicate that the excitement level is considerably dwindled.
00:11:19.120
So, you know, if there's, you know, 15, 20, 30%, and just because 55% are saying they would vote
00:11:27.480
for Trump, that doesn't mean that 45% wouldn't want to see him. But even if it is like 15, 20,
00:11:33.480
30%, something like that, that wouldn't want to see Trump as the nominee, that would be against that.
00:11:39.200
Um, this just goes to my point that, you know, I, I, I really like, I think DeSantis, you know,
00:11:49.300
we start, there, there are other talents on the right, maybe not a lot of them. There aren't a lot
00:11:55.520
of, the Republican party doesn't have a lot of political talent right now, but it does have some.
00:12:00.440
DeSantis definitely being one of them. And I think we should really think about
00:12:04.660
getting younger, getting some fresh blood in there. You know, someone who doesn't have all
00:12:10.380
the same baggage. I think we should really think about that. Uh, more from CPAC. This is from the
00:12:15.560
Daily Wire. It says conservatives have the right to gather and peacefully express their views.
00:12:19.620
Hyatt Hotel said on Friday, the hotel chain began facing blowback from left-wing activists last week
00:12:24.520
for allowing this year's CPAC to be held at the Hyatt Regency in Orlando. Uh, so they were getting a lot
00:12:29.760
of blowback and, and, uh, you know, the left was demanding that they, you know, maybe shut down the
00:12:33.540
event or something like that because, uh, it's you're, you're hosting Nazis after all. And this
00:12:39.340
is what Hyatt said in a statement to Fox business. They said, we take pride in operating a highly
00:12:44.760
inclusive environment. And we believe that the facilitation of gatherings is a central element
00:12:48.780
of what we do as a hospitality company. We believe in the right of individuals and organizations to
00:12:53.020
peacefully express their views, independent of the degree to which the perspectives of those hosting
00:12:56.920
meetings and events at our hotels align with ours. Uh, our own values support a culture that
00:13:01.900
is characterized by empathy, respect, and diversity of opinions and backgrounds. And we strive to bring
00:13:05.720
this to light through what we do and how we engage with those in our care. Now, so it, it seemed like,
00:13:12.060
and when I was first planning to talk about this, I thought, okay, I'm going to give,
00:13:16.020
I can give Hyatt hotels some props here because they stood up to the, to the woke mob, uh, kind of
00:13:23.260
given a little bit of a blueprint to other companies because this is, this is the thing
00:13:29.620
with so many corporations and companies, they'll collapse in the face of the woke mob for no real
00:13:36.320
reason. Cause nobody's going to, it's CPAC is already over. Nobody cares about it. You know,
00:13:42.980
the leftists who are saying they're going to boycott and all this stuff a week from now,
00:13:47.320
are they going to be talking about Hyatt anymore? Most of the time when the mob's coming after you,
00:13:52.460
especially if you're a major corporation, you've got billions of dollars, all you got to do is
00:13:57.020
wait them out most of the time and they're going to move on. So I was going to give Hyatt credit for
00:14:03.860
this because they were showing that's all you have to do. Ignore them and say, listen, we're,
00:14:09.540
we're, you know, we're a company where we hosted a gathering. That's it. A week from now, nobody cares.
00:14:14.480
But then I saw this from TMZ. This is this morning. Um, Hyatt, you know, originally they had
00:14:22.400
responded to the controversy over the fact that they were simply hosting CPAC at all. But then all
00:14:28.640
this, this ridiculous stuff about the stage design being a Nazi symbol came up and here's Hyatt
00:14:34.540
responding to that. Uh, it says, we take the concern raised about the prospect of symbols of hate
00:14:40.440
being included in the stage design at CPAC 2021 very seriously as all such symbols are abhorrent
00:14:45.980
and unequivocally counter to our values as a company. The CPAC 2020 event is hosted and managed
00:14:50.820
by the American conservative union that manages all aspects of event logistics, including the stage
00:14:55.160
design and aesthetics. We discussed directly with ACOU leadership who told us that any resemblance to a
00:14:59.940
symbol of hate is unintentional. We will continue to stay in dialogue with event organizers regarding
00:15:04.560
our deep concerns. Any further questions can be directed to CPAC. They're going to stay in dialogue
00:15:09.240
about whether the stage was supposed to be a Nazi symbol. How much, how much further can the dialogue
00:15:14.880
go? Like, I don't know. You ask the question, Hey, did you, were you intentionally trying to make
00:15:20.720
this stage look like an old Nordic symbol that also was associated with Nazis? Uh, no, we weren't.
00:15:25.980
Okay. I don't know where you go with that dialogue, but it sounds like Hyatt, because of this,
00:15:32.940
they withstood the mob for like a day. And because of this dumb Nazi symbol controversy, now they're,
00:15:40.780
they're gearing up to, to, uh, fold to the mob and maybe the next couple of days we'll see the
00:15:47.100
official distancing and condemning and all this kind of stuff. All right. Number two, I have to play this
00:15:52.880
because, well, it's just pretty hilarious. Here's our friend, our dear friend, Brian Stelter on CNN,
00:15:57.760
um, talking about potatoes and other subjects that he knows. Well, let's, let's listen.
00:16:03.220
Then why was Mr. Potato Head mentioned 35 times on Fox News and Fox Business this week?
00:16:08.340
35 times. Well, the answer is because it's easy. It's cheap. It's really easy to do,
00:16:14.220
but it's so distracting. Potato Head distracts from the suffering so many people are going through.
00:16:19.700
The Muppets controversy distracts from dire inequality. This stuff gets hyped up and passed
00:16:24.980
around mostly on Twitter where lots of reporters, myself included, spend way too much time.
00:16:28.620
And the risk is that it warps our judgment and makes sidebar stories seem so much more important
00:16:34.720
than they really are. And that causes even more chatter. And that's how you wind up with Janine
00:16:39.080
Pirro walking around CPAC, asking people, if you seen Hunter Biden, like she's a bad meme come to life.
00:16:45.640
On Friday, I was about to go get dinner for my kids when Donald Trump Jr.
00:16:51.280
attacked me in his speech at CPAC. Um, something about me looking like a gender neutral Potato Head.
00:16:56.080
And then the tweets started rolling in on my computer. People telling me about Donnie Jr.
00:17:01.720
insulting me. And I thought of some really cutting responses, some really clever ways to reply,
00:17:06.680
some way to go viral. But then I stopped. I didn't post anything. It was just another distraction.
00:17:15.460
He wanted me to respond. This was just more BS fuel for the culture war. And it does not matter.
00:17:22.720
He does. He does look like a gender neutral Potato, doesn't he? That's a good line.
00:17:28.020
It's a general rule here. If someone has a good line against you, don't repeat it.
00:17:33.720
Because it sounds even funnier when you repeat it. And come to think of it, he does look a lot
00:17:39.040
like a gender neutral. I don't, I don't mean it as an insult. Yeah, it's, it's simply an observation.
00:17:44.500
That's all. It's not necessarily bad to look like a gender neutral Potatoes. There's,
00:17:49.100
there are worse things you could look like. Um, but he, he had, but Brian Stelter had a great
00:17:57.120
response. He had a great comeback and, and, and he, he, and he, he could have, he could have said it,
00:18:02.900
but he, he was too big a man for that. That's all. You know, I'm too big. I'm too big a man. I got
00:18:08.660
the greatest. I could, I could take you down right now with my wit, but, um, I'm, I'm, I'm too mature.
00:18:13.940
So I'm not going to, I could, but I won't. Yeah, sure. And of course the point he's making here is
00:18:21.040
about the potato head and the, the, the Muppet disclaimer and all that. This is all distraction.
00:18:26.880
It's a, it's a silly culture war. Why do you care about this? This is one of the tried and true
00:18:33.740
tactics of the left. This is what they're always doing. This is one of their, their primary
00:18:38.420
strategies. It's, um, they make a big deal about something. And then if we respond to it,
00:18:48.900
you know, they, they do something, make a big deal about it. And if we object, then rather than
00:18:56.200
defend what they're doing, they'll say, why do you care about this? What do you care about this for?
00:19:02.200
So they'll do a certain thing, throw a, a literal, a literal parade in the street. Say, look,
00:19:07.020
everybody look at this amazing thing we're doing. And if you stand off to the side and simply say,
00:19:13.080
you know, I'm not a big fan of that. Actually, what do you make us such a big deal about this for?
00:19:18.500
They're up on the parade float, accusing you of making a big deal about it. That's,
00:19:22.080
that's the way it goes with pretty much everything that that's the way they fight the culture war.
00:19:28.640
And that's how they often get away with fighting it while pretending they're not fighting it at all.
00:19:33.280
All they do is fight the culture war, but then claim that on the right, all we do is fight the
00:19:40.500
culture war and they're, they're too busy and they don't care about these issues at all.
00:19:46.660
Now the potato head thing was, I think everybody, pretty much everyone was simply making fun of it.
00:19:52.240
I don't think anyone was taking that issue very seriously. The Muppet thing though. Now this is
00:20:01.060
Disney plus, this is Disney, major, major corporation, billions and billions of dollars.
00:20:09.700
They've, they are the ones, it wasn't, we didn't do this. The Disney corporation,
00:20:16.680
they're the ones who decided to make a big deal out of the Muppets. Such a big deal that they thought
00:20:22.940
it needed a disclaimer before you watch a show about puppets. They needed to put this lengthy,
00:20:30.180
dramatic disclaimer on it. So who's the one making a big deal about the Muppets?
00:20:36.500
Is it, is it, is it, is it the, the group that's putting the disclaimer on it? Or is it the people
00:20:44.080
who are simply saying, well, that's, that's ridiculous. That's silly. Well, this is the,
00:20:50.440
this is the strategy and they get away with it most of the time. They really do. Number three,
00:20:56.440
this is great stuff from Congressman Byron Donalds, who I admit I'd never heard of until now,
00:21:02.580
but I'm almost ready to elect him president based on this alone. Maybe he should be in the CPAC
00:21:07.400
straw poll. I don't know, but I don't know anything else about him except for this little
00:21:12.700
speech he gave to, to, to the media earlier today. Let's listen.
00:21:17.180
Good evening. Byron Donalds, member of Congress from the great state of Florida, congressional
00:21:21.580
district 19. And for our friends in the media, I do want to apologize. I actually left my mask in my
00:21:28.040
office. Why do I bring that up? Because it's important that in our capital,
00:21:32.400
we start talking about the things that are real and not the things that are fake. You see,
00:21:37.220
I already had COVID-19. The attending physician in this very capital gave me the antibody test last
00:21:43.140
week. I still have it. I'm not spreading anything. I forgot my mask. The reality is if you have
00:21:49.460
antibodies, you're actually okay. The other reality is, is that the president of the United States,
00:21:55.060
the vice president of the United States, the speaker of the house have all been inoculated.
00:21:58.740
They have the vaccine, but they still wear their mask anyway. The reason they do this is because
00:22:04.280
Washington is accustomed to fan dances. Washington is accustomed to doing fake things that don't
00:22:10.480
matter. That's great. I mean, and that, that it shouldn't take courage. Shouldn't take political
00:22:16.680
courage to say what he said there and to do what he's doing, which is not wearing the mask.
00:22:21.780
Uh, but it does, it does take political courage. And this is exactly what we need.
00:22:28.100
We need visible people, um, people in positions of leadership to stop wearing the mask, especially
00:22:35.820
if they already had it, if they had the vaccine, you know, if they're in that group, especially
00:22:40.840
don't wear it. And not just people in positions of leadership, but people generally in society.
00:22:48.300
Now I personally, as I've said all along, I don't think that anyone should be forced to wear the mask
00:22:52.860
in general, but if you've already had, I mean, there are tens of millions of people in this country
00:22:59.060
who've already had the virus and then millions more now who have the vaccine.
00:23:05.820
Why should you wear it if you're in that category?
00:23:09.020
So I would say if you're in that category, you should just not wear it. And if anyone tells you
00:23:15.880
to wear it, have them explain why say, Oh no, I, I got the antibodies. Why should I wear it?
00:23:23.440
Maybe ask them to explain to you why exactly should I, but let's not, let's not talk about
00:23:30.020
the mask in general terms. Okay. We're not talking about everybody to me as someone who's who I have
00:23:35.260
the antibodies. Why should I wear it? Tell me why. Give me a good scientific reason why I should
00:23:40.780
won't be able to do it. This is exactly what needs to happen. All right. Number four,
00:23:47.260
the Toronto sun has infuriating news. I was really putting it mildly. This is out of Canada.
00:23:53.180
It says Peel health has issued guidelines to parents instructing them to keep any children
00:23:58.500
who've been sent home because a classmate has tested positive for COVID-19 isolated a separate
00:24:03.220
room from all of the family members for 14 days. Now these are not even sick kids,
00:24:10.900
kids who are in a class with a kid who is sick, isolated in solitary confinement in their homes
00:24:17.760
for 14 days. Uh, the severe guidelines, which apply even to small children who are dismissed from
00:24:22.540
childcare are being criticized by experts as harmful and not supported by science.
00:24:27.380
This is cruel punishment for a child. This is Dr. Suzanne Richardson, uh, says, uh, cruel punishment
00:24:33.240
for a child, especially for younger children, four to 10 years old, shutting a child off from their
00:24:37.840
parents and siblings for up to 14 days in this manner could produce significant and long lasting
00:24:42.680
emotional and psychological effects. Well, yeah. Uh, the article says the handout distributed at Peel
00:24:48.820
Region Schools explains if your child does not have any symptoms, the child must self-isolate,
00:24:54.740
which means stay in a separate room, eat in a separate room apart from others, use a separate
00:24:59.020
bathroom if possible. The handout also says if the child must leave their room, they should wear a mask
00:25:04.740
and stay two meters apart from any, from others. Any other children in the household, not only,
00:25:09.660
uh, must be both separated from their siblings, but also stay home for 14 days. Now I can't even keep
00:25:16.380
reading this. It is that, uh, infuriating to me. If you would actually do this to your child,
00:25:25.800
put them in solitary confinement, isolate them. This is what they're talking about in a separate room
00:25:32.580
for two weeks, no physical contact with anyone in the family. I mean, you can't even do this to
00:25:40.680
prisoners. This would be considered human rights abuse. If you did it to a prisoner.
00:25:48.400
You do it to your child. If you would do that to your child, because you're afraid they're going
00:25:53.060
to get you sick, then you do. And I do not say this lightly, but you do not deserve to have children.
00:25:57.640
You should have your children taken from you. You should be in, you should be in prison yourself.
00:26:02.460
You should be the one in solitary confinement. If you would do that to your kid, there is no excuse
00:26:08.680
for it. I don't care. I don't want to hear the excuse. I mean, you could tell me that, you know,
00:26:17.420
you have preexisting conditions and all this kind of stuff. I'm sympathetic to that, but there is no
00:26:22.120
excuse for doing that to your child, period. I would literally rather die. I would actually rather die.
00:26:27.860
I would certainly rather take the extremely minimal risk, even if it wasn't minimal.
00:26:34.920
Let's say I was in a high risk group and they told me, well, your kid might be sick. So stick
00:26:41.640
them in a room for two weeks. You know, your four-year-old child, put them in a room for two
00:26:45.820
weeks by themselves. Never go closer. If they come out of the hallway, make sure they're in a mess.
00:26:51.160
Never come closer than two meters from them. You're high risk. And if you don't do that,
00:26:56.940
you might get sick and die. My response would be, okay, I'm going to get sick and die then, I guess.
00:27:07.520
And the thing is, you know, you read this and you think, man, there's no way parents would actually
00:27:15.420
do this. These are insane, quote unquote, public health officials who don't have, who are probably
00:27:22.880
childless themselves, childless, alone, and miserable, trying to impose their misery on
00:27:27.880
everybody else. Okay. And they're saying this, they're detached from the issue themselves. They
00:27:34.340
don't know anything about kids. They don't understand. But a parent wouldn't actually do
00:27:39.060
this. You love your child. You would never do this to them. That's what you want to think.
00:27:44.240
But then if this is any judge of it, uh, you know, if this tells us anything, I'm looking at,
00:27:49.880
you know, the, the, the, the link to this article on Twitter, and I'm, I'm reading some of the
00:27:55.840
comments, hundreds of comments. And many of them are from parents saying that they have done this or
00:28:03.480
they ease or they would do it. They're, they're prepared to do it. They are prepared to absolutely
00:28:12.800
psychologically and emotionally devastate their children in ways that they may or may never
00:28:19.340
recover from. They are prepared to do that, um, in order to keep themselves safe.
00:28:26.040
Every single one of these parents unfit and don't deserve to have, they don't love their kids.
00:28:29.600
You do not love your child. If you would do that to your kid, period. And this is not an exaggeration
00:28:35.720
when I say lifelong damage. I mean, think about that. Yeah. When you were a kid, you were sent to
00:28:42.020
your room for a couple hours, right? At most. I mean, usually it's, uh, you probably had to really
00:28:47.320
earn a, you know, an hour or more in your room. Um, two weeks. No, absolutely not.
00:28:56.920
All right. Number five, a soccer star. I think he's a star, uh, named Zlatan Ibrahimović.
00:29:06.120
I don't know. Uh, anyway, he's a guy who plays soccer and he recently said that he thinks LeBron
00:29:10.780
James should shut up about politics and stick to sports. That's his opinion. I tend to agree with
00:29:15.580
it. You know, I probably not a big soccer guy, but at least I can, I can agree with that. And, uh,
00:29:22.620
LeBron was asked about this a couple of days ago and he had a response that made some waves for
00:29:28.100
whatever reason. And here's what he said. At the end of the day, um, you know, I would never, uh,
00:29:34.000
shut up about things that's, um, that's wrong. Um, I, I preach about my people and I preach about,
00:29:40.260
uh, you know, equality, um, social injustice, racism, um, you know, systematic, uh, uh, voting,
00:29:48.820
uh, voter suppression, um, things that go on in our community. Um, because I was a part of my
00:29:54.440
community at one point and seeing the things that was going on. And I know that, you know,
00:29:57.560
what's going on still, because I have a group of, uh, 300 plus kids at my school that's going
00:30:02.900
through the same thing and they need a voice. Um, um, and I'm their voice, I'm their voice.
00:30:08.200
And I use my platform to continue to shed light on everything that may be going on, not only in my
00:30:12.400
community, but around the, uh, you know, this country and around the world. So, um, you know,
00:30:17.100
but if, if, if there's no reason, uh, well, no, I won't say no reason, but there's no way,
00:30:21.740
uh, I will ever just stick to sports because I understand how, uh, very inspiring, how powerful
00:30:27.280
my voice is. Uh, I think the most telling thing there possibly, first of all, if LeBron James is
00:30:34.080
your voice, then you're in trouble. You need to get a better voice. I, I, I feel for anyone who
00:30:38.720
relies on LeBron James to be their voice, but I think the most telling thing is he said, um,
00:30:42.940
he, he refers to, uh, he says my, my, I was a part of my community at one point. So it's something
00:30:49.780
like that. I was, I was a, you know, my community that I was a part of at one point, like in the
00:30:54.300
past tense where he's admitting, he's like, he's not really a part of this community anymore.
00:30:59.620
Whatever community he's pretending to speak for, he's not a part of that. He's, he's,
00:31:03.860
he's LeBron James. He's living in his mansion making decrees. And we know he's not a part of any of
00:31:11.200
these communities that he allegedly is speaking for, uh, because that's why he had no problem
00:31:16.000
all through the summer throwing, you know, throwing the proverbial gasoline onto the fire
00:31:22.380
and encouraging the rioting. Didn't matter to him. He's, he's in a, in a mansion behind a wall,
00:31:28.480
lots of security, armed security and everything else. And so he could sit there from that comfortable
00:31:34.520
position and say, yeah, oh yeah, continue, continue, uh, rioting. Makes no difference to him.
00:31:40.500
He's not a part of the community as he just acknowledged. But of course, everything he's
00:31:46.500
saying there about, he speaks out about injustice and if there's any injustice that he sees, he's
00:31:51.180
going to say something about it, uh, that you need the big, right? Big asterisk. And it's, it's
00:31:56.640
yeah. Injustice that doesn't happen in China. That's the really huge, that's that big, that's,
00:32:01.960
that's one huge blind spot. Still not going to talk about that, but sure. He's going to look for,
00:32:11.360
um, alleged injustices here. And most of the injustices that he's looking at, that he's,
00:32:17.100
that he's calling out here are not really injustices at all. All right, let's go to read
00:32:21.800
the comments now. This is first from username Aaron. The antagonist says, Matt, could you please
00:32:27.640
comment on Google removing the egg from the salad emoji in order to be more inclusive to
00:32:32.540
vegans? I think we're living in the stupidest point in human history. Yeah. I hadn't heard
00:32:38.220
about that. I looked it up and that did happen. Now it happened back in 2018, apparently. So
00:32:43.760
we're about three years behind the times, but there was a point. So if you're a vegan and
00:32:48.680
you use the salad emoji, maybe, maybe you probably would take, take this for granted. You didn't,
00:32:53.740
you didn't realize, but there was a time when, you know, as a vegan, you couldn't use a salad emoji
00:32:59.140
because there was an egg in the fake salad. And so think about that luxury that you have now
00:33:05.020
as a vegan using emojis, your ancestors, they didn't have that. They didn't have that luxury.
00:33:12.680
Roger Riggins says, everyone is looking for a Rush Limbaugh replacement. Here it is. I can only
00:33:18.680
assume you're speaking about me because this was a comment under my video. But what I can tell you is
00:33:23.600
that I am not, I don't think anyone is a Rush Limbaugh replacement. He's the kind of guy,
00:33:29.800
you don't really replace him. There's not going to be a second Rush Limbaugh. If there is a Rush
00:33:35.080
Limbaugh replacement, I'm not that guy. To go on the radio, he was on the radio every day for three
00:33:43.520
hours for what, like 30 or 40 years. Um, to do that every day for decades for three hours
00:33:52.100
and to be interesting and entertaining the whole time that takes, I think people don't fully
00:34:00.140
appreciate the level of skill that's required to do that. In fact, I hear from people all the time who
00:34:07.100
say that, um, even, you know, my, I'm only on here for 45 minutes or something, but people will say,
00:34:14.360
oh, well, I love to talk. I could do, you know, I could do a radio show. I could do, no, it's got
00:34:19.080
nothing to do with that just because yeah, you might love to talk. That doesn't mean people are
00:34:23.680
going to love to listen to you. And what I found generally the people who do the most talking normally
00:34:29.360
in life have, have the least to say. So it takes a lot of skill. I don't have that skill. Uh, so I'm
00:34:35.980
not going to be the Rush Limbaugh replacement. I don't know who it is. I don't think anybody's
00:34:38.460
going to be the replacement. Um, Nate Schell says, I too wept at Matt's touching antidote about anecdote
00:34:44.440
about the, uh, revelation that Potato Head was free and the devastating aftermath that it was not
00:34:49.220
wept from laughing so hard. Guess I'm also canceled and banned from listening ever again. Well,
00:34:53.440
of course you are, Nate, that you would take my pain. You know, that story that I shared
00:34:59.260
about, about me and my daughter and our reaction to the news that Potato Head was gender neutral,
00:35:05.040
our joy and elation, and then the crippling despair that followed when we found out that
00:35:09.980
actually he's not going to be gender neutral anymore. As, as we went on this emotional roller
00:35:14.220
coaster, as Hasbro took us on this emotional roller coaster throughout the day, that story that I
00:35:18.880
shared was, was deeply personal. Um, I don't, I don't like to get that personal on this show,
00:35:24.020
but for you to laugh at me and my family and our pain and our joy, that way is
00:35:30.520
truly unconscionable. So of course you are banned. Um, and Matthew Phoebus says, I love that you're
00:35:38.420
referring to him as a him, which he is. I'm not even, I can't remember exactly who you're referring
00:35:46.420
to that I was referring to, but yes, I always use the correct pronouns. Um, this, this is my policy.
00:35:51.680
It's, it's really basic. You know, you can have whatever name you want, whatever name you select
00:35:57.440
for yourself, I will call you. I mean, probably within reason, if you, if, if you, you know, if
00:36:03.060
you come to come up to me every day with a new name, then at a certain point, I'm going to have
00:36:07.120
to draw a line. But, um, generally speaking within reason, whatever name you want, I will respect that
00:36:13.440
and call you a name because the names are, are, are social constructs and, you know, anyone can take
00:36:17.400
any name. Um, but a pronoun is when you use a pronoun, you are conveying something about the
00:36:27.200
reality of the world. And so when you use the word, he, you are conveying, you are saying that
00:36:34.540
the person you're referring to is a male. That's what that means when you say he. And so I'm only
00:36:40.000
going to use that for males because I'm not going to lie to use any other pronoun would be a lie.
00:36:47.160
It would be a deception. It would be a falsehood. You know, at the, at the best you're, you're
00:36:53.160
confusing people at the worst, you're lying to them when in reality, I think it's both. And so I
00:36:58.900
think that should be our policy. It's not about, you know, you're not trying to be impolite. You're
00:37:02.380
not trying to hurt anyone's feelings. You're just not going to lie. And if someone comes up to you
00:37:09.080
and asks that you lie, tries to force you to lie, wants to require you to lie, well, that's their
00:37:14.880
fault. That's their fault for putting you in a position where you have to tell them no. And if
00:37:20.300
that hurts their feelings, well, they shouldn't have asked you to do it. A lot of the events of
00:37:25.060
the last year have really put into perspective, the need to be ready for emergencies. You know,
00:37:30.320

dailywire.com. Now let's get to our daily cancellation. So today we're going to cancel
00:40:01.120
the golden globes. Obviously all Hollywood award shows are automatically canceled every year without
00:40:05.220
exception, just on principle. It's hard to understand why anybody would actually sit down
00:40:08.560
for six hours to watch a bunch of wealthy drug addicts pat themselves on the back. But some people
00:40:13.400
do 12 or 13 people to be exact, according to the latest viewership estimates. And that's why,
00:40:18.280
you know, I, I watched a few of the clips from the golden globes. Um, some of the moments that
00:40:22.060
had people online talking to just to see if I was missing something, maybe it's not so bad as I
00:40:27.520
assume. So here's one I'm, I'm told by outlets like the daily beast that this was a hilarious and
00:40:32.420
cutting moment from Sasha Baron Cohen, as he accepted an award for Borat two. I'm not sure what the award
00:40:39.320
was for exactly. Maybe he won for, I don't know, best movie to be released in 2020 about a guy named
00:40:45.440
Borat. If that was it, then he surely was a deserving winner. I can't think of any other award
00:40:50.860
that he would actually deserve. But in any case, this was the moment that the media tells me was
00:40:56.600
especially edgy and brilliant. The daily beast describes it. They say, um, thank you to the all
00:41:02.900
white Hollywood foreign press, Sasha, Sasha Baron Cohen said, accepting the golden globe award for best
00:41:07.520
comedy or musical film Sunday night. Oh, that was the award. Okay. It's I guess, were there no other
00:41:13.360
comedies or musical films to come out in 2020? I didn't watch a lot of movies in 2020. I have to
00:41:17.980
tell you. Was that, was that the, were there no other options? Anyway, the daily beast says his speech
00:41:25.220
only got more scathing from there. Now quoting from Baron, I've got to say this movie could not have
00:41:30.520
been possible without my co-star, a fresh new talent who came from nowhere and turned out to be a comedy
00:41:34.900
genius. The Borat subsequent movie film star said, I'm talking about Rudy Giuliani. I mean,
00:41:41.080
who could get more laughs from one unzipping? Incredible. Our movie was just the beginning
00:41:46.400
for him. Baron Cohen continued. Rudy went on to star in a string of comedy films, hits like
00:41:51.220
four seasons of landscaping, hair dye another day, and the courtroom drama, a very public fart.
00:41:58.320
Yes, a very public fart. That, and by all appearances, that was the comedic high watermark
00:42:07.680
of the event. It didn't get any better than that. For example, there was apparently a bit where
00:42:12.020
Kenan Thompson pretended to speak French while Maya Rudolph pretended to translate. That was the bit.
00:42:19.800
Now keep in mind, a team of writers and producers had to approve that bit. They all, dozens perhaps
00:42:26.340
and all, had to hear about the bit or read the script and say, sure, yeah, let's put that on air.
00:42:31.520
It's sort of amazing when you think about it like that. And the same can be said about the opening
00:42:35.400
monologue from Tina Fey and Amy Poehler, two women who have, through their careers, done an admirable
00:42:41.240
job of proving Christopher Hitchens right. If you don't know what I'm referring to, just Google it.
00:42:47.220
Now I was going to play some of the monologue, but I decided not to because I respect,
00:42:50.620
I respect you too much to waste your time like that. Actually, the real reason is that our show will get
00:42:54.700
blocked on YouTube for copyright infringement if I play it. So instead, I'll let USA Today describe
00:42:59.900
the supposedly hilarious, quote, no holds barred monologue. They say Poehler and Tina Fey opened up
00:43:07.260
the 78th annual Hunger Games Golden Globes Sunday with a, I guess that was supposed to be a joke,
00:43:12.740
Hunger Games. Timely reference, that one. With a timely monologue that highlighted the importance
00:43:18.160
of inclusivity following reports that the Hollywood Foreign Press Association has no black voting
00:43:23.100
members. Poehler said, everybody is understandably upset that the HFPA and their choices, at the HFPA
00:43:28.960
and their choices. Yes, everybody's upset. Isn't everyone, everyone's talking about the fact
00:43:33.800
that the HFPA doesn't have any black members, right? And then she could think, look, a lot of flashy
00:43:40.880
garbage got nominated, but that happens. That's like their thing. But a number of black actors and black
00:43:45.740
led projects were overlooked. Although Fey acknowledged that award shows are stupid,
00:43:50.540
the host declared that even with stupid things, inclusivity is important. There are no black
00:43:55.200
members of the Hollywood Foreign Press, said Fey, who appeared from New York. I realize HFPA, maybe you
00:44:00.460
guys didn't get the memo because your workplace is the back booth of a French McDonald's, but you've
00:44:05.140
got to change that. So here's to changing it. Ah, yes, it's an outrage that some black led films
00:44:11.660
weren't nominated. Of course, I assume there were probably hundreds of white led films also not
00:44:18.200
nominated. I mean, you can't nominate every film that was released in a calendar year, can you?
00:44:24.400
That would sort of defeat the purpose of an award show. But maybe that's where this is headed.
00:44:28.740
Literally every film starring or directed by a black person must receive not only a nomination,
00:44:33.820
but some kind of award. You can make up the award if you need to. It'll be like when my fifth grade
00:44:38.620
teacher at the end of the year gave out end of year awards. And I'm not making this up. I got
00:44:43.280
the award for best green t-shirt because I happened to be wearing a green t-shirt that day.
00:44:49.320
Now, in fairness to my teacher, I was a thoroughly unimpressive child. So she did her best to find
00:44:54.780
something worth celebrating. And that's what award shows will have to become because otherwise,
00:44:58.880
you know, it's always going to be an outrage, always a controversy. Whenever there's any film
00:45:04.260
starring or directed by a black person that is not recognized, it's going to be an outrage.
00:45:09.540
Because inclusivity is important. I mean, I would say that exclusivity is the whole point of an award
00:45:15.760
show. But I guess I'm the crazy one. After all, it's a big problem that there are no black members
00:45:21.220
of the Hollywood foreign press. Everyone's talking about it. At least we're informed that it's a big
00:45:26.660
problem. We're informed this every year. Though I still have no idea what the Hollywood foreign press
00:45:31.760
is and even less of an idea why I should give the slightest damn about its racial configuration.
00:45:36.060
And it's even less clear to me how any of this counts as comedy. You're supposed to be comedians
00:45:42.380
doing an opening comedy bit. And this is what they come up with. Now, the Golden Globes don't matter,
00:45:47.880
of course, but the utter unfunniness here is a symptom of a larger problem. And I think it's kind
00:45:52.200
of a significant problem, in my view, culturally speaking. Comedy in films, shows, late night TV,
00:45:57.320
stand-up comedy, it's all on the verge of extinction. And the reason is that, broadly speaking,
00:46:01.420
it's just not possible to be woke, socially conscious, politically correct, and funny.
00:46:08.620
And it's not possible to be woke, socially conscious, politically correct, and funny,
00:46:12.260
because comedy is supposed to derive either from observations and insights about human nature and the
00:46:17.980
human condition, or from clever mockery of the cultural and institutional powers that be.
00:46:23.780
Now, there are other forms of comedy, I suppose, like slapstick comedy. It's always going to be funny
00:46:28.240
when a guy falls down the steps or whatever. But the best and funniest comedy will fall into one
00:46:32.700
or both of the categories just described. It's saying something about human nature and the human
00:46:37.980
condition, and or it's wittily mocking the powers that be. The problem is that leftists generally have
00:46:44.440
a poor understanding of the human condition, so they can't make any funny jokes about it.
00:46:48.580
And even if they do understand it, most of the funny things you can say about the human condition
00:46:52.740
will be considered politically incorrect these days. In fact, modern leftism is born
00:46:57.020
from a denial of human nature. And how can you say anything funny about a thing that you don't
00:47:01.940
understand or refuse to understand? As for mocking the powers that be, sure, you know,
00:47:05.880
they'll make fun of the president whenever there's a Republican in office, but they won't go after the
00:47:10.000
true societal sacred cows. For example, Black Lives Matter, enormously rich, powerful, influential group.
00:47:17.360
It's absolutely ripe for mockery, but most of the people responsible for producing comedy these days
00:47:23.280
won't touch that subject with a 10-foot pole, except to deliver earnest sermons on BLM's behalf.
00:47:29.660
And now that we have a Democrat president, the comedy makers won't make comedy about the cultural
00:47:35.460
or political powers, rendering them even more useless than they already were.
00:47:40.200
What all this means is that if you want comedy, you can't turn to professional comedians for it
00:47:45.440
anymore. You'll have to do all of that, all of your laughing and mockery in the privacy of your own
00:47:50.560
homes until they make that illegal too, which they might. But in the meantime, the Golden Globes are
00:47:55.460
certainly canceled. And that'll do it for us today. Thanks for watching. Thanks for listening.
