Now that the cancel mob has started canceling dead children s authors, it s clear that eventually, everybody will be canceled, unless the madness stops. We ll talk about that today, plus five headlines including the FBI director suspiciously refusing to provide any information about the death of Officer Joe Sicknick, plus Texas lifts all COID restrictions, and Joe Biden says that maybe, if we re lucky, we can get back to normal next year. All of that and much more, today on the Matt Warshaw Show.
00:17:20.860Because it's embarrassing to the media, who for weeks and months now has been claiming, with no evidence, that there is a connection.
00:17:31.180And the Democrats, during the impeachment proceedings, they're up there talking about Brian Sicknick's death as if they knew that he was killed by a rioter.
00:17:41.920And they don't want to tell us that for political reasons.
00:17:45.600Now, meanwhile, Senator Dick Durbin, during this hearing, decided to try to explain why Antifa is not nearly as big a threat as the people who rioted one time in D.C. two months ago.
00:18:00.660I appreciate at least that he's attempting, because usually the left and the Democrats, they simply ignore this point about Antifa and BLM and all the rioting that they do and have done, continue to do, in fact.
00:18:12.920But here, at least, he's trying to offer some sort of justification.
00:18:18.120I join my Republican colleagues unequivocally in condemning left-wing violence.
00:18:22.740But let's stop pretending that the threat of Antifa is equivalent to the white supremacist threat.
00:18:30.220Vandalizing a federal courthouse in Portland is a crime.
00:18:33.720It should be prosecuted to the full extent of the law.
00:18:36.040But it is not equivalent to a violent attempt to overturn the results of elections, nor is it equivalent to mass shootings targeting minority communities.
00:18:45.160This false equivalency is an insult to the brave police officers who were injured or lost their lives on January 6th, as well as dozens of others who have been murdered in white supremacist attacks.
00:18:56.580We need to be abundantly clear that the white supremacists and other extremists are the most significant domestic terrorism threat facing the United States today.
00:19:06.980I hope everyone in this room can look at the facts and acknowledge this, and we can come together on a bipartisan basis to defeat this threat.
00:19:15.340We're going to move past the fact that it sounded like you said abundantly queer there.
00:19:19.940And we're going to move past it, and we're not going to focus on that part of it coming from a Democratic senator.
00:19:28.180He says it's an insult to the police officers.
00:19:30.700Well, what's an insult is that you're using, you and the other Democrats are callously using Officer Sicknick's death as a pawn, as a political chip that you're throwing down on the table.
00:20:55.460If you're comparing the simple vandalism of a courthouse by some crazy kids, you're comparing that to what happened on January 6th, then the thing that happened on January 6th is a lot worse.
00:21:09.420Unfortunately, Dick Durbin is inventing that.
00:21:12.960He has created his own version of the Antifa riots.
00:21:18.920Even the so-called vandalism, no, they were trying to burn it down.
00:21:22.620They were shooting, like, fireworks at it.
00:21:25.240This was a siege that lasted for weeks on end.
00:21:29.560It was a lot more than graffiti, even to that courthouse.
00:21:33.360But, of course, the issue is not just the courthouse.
00:21:38.560And if you were to, you know, I say that at least Dick Durbin made some attempt to explain why January 6th was worse than the BLM rioting, whereas most Democrats will ignore the question.
00:21:53.480But he didn't really make any attempt at all when you listen to it, because he's not acknowledging what actually happened.
00:22:00.440And, by the way, trying to overturn the results of the election, was there ever any chance of that happening?
00:22:07.740Was there ever any, even the slightest threat of that happening?
00:22:18.560Kamala Harris still has not commented on the Andrew Cuomo scandal.
00:22:23.460And that's, you know, an issue because she had plenty to say, of course, about Brett Kavanaugh, about Donald Trump's sexual harassment accusers and so on.
00:22:33.820She was one of the big believe-all-women people.
00:22:37.060And she hasn't said anything about the sexual harassment claims against Andrew Cuomo.
00:22:40.080Jen Psaki was asked about that, and here's what she said.
00:22:44.260Vice President Kamala Harris is one of the most vocal critics of Justice Brett Kavanaugh, of Senator Al Franken.
00:22:51.260When they faced similar allegations, she said repeatedly, I believe them, the women.
00:22:57.440But she hasn't said anything about the three women who are accusing Governor Andrew Cuomo.
00:23:02.720And now this third accuser, Anna Roosh, she actually worked for the Biden-Harris campaign.
00:23:09.100So at what point is the first female vice president going to say something about this?
00:23:14.480Well, I know that's how the vice president continues to feel.
00:23:18.440And the benefit of doing a briefing every day is that I can certainly speak on behalf of the president and the vice president.
00:23:24.280And so let me reiterate that they both believe that every woman coming forward should be heard, should be treated with dignity, and treated with respect.
00:23:32.340As you all know, the New York attorney general will oversee an independent investigation with subpoena power, and the governor's office said he will fully cooperate.
00:23:40.760And we certainly support that moving forward.
00:23:43.460But as you know, it's one thing to hear it from you, and it's appreciated, but it's another thing to hear it from the vice president or the president himself.
00:23:52.140Can we expect to hear from either of them on this topic anytime soon?
00:23:56.620Well, again, I'm speaking on their behalf.
00:23:59.540They're personally both view this as a situation where all of the women coming forward should be treated with dignity and respect and should have their voices heard.
00:24:09.300And that's the representation of their points of view.
00:24:14.360Now we have to clarify again, we have to stipulate that, of course, every time this comes up, we have to say that this is not the real Andrew Cuomo scandal.
00:24:23.680This is not even the Andrew Cuomo scandal that we primarily need to hear Kamala Harris talking about.
00:26:40.020So today, I'm issuing a new executive order that rescinds most of the earlier executive orders.
00:26:47.280Effective next Wednesday, all businesses of any type are allowed to open 100%.
00:26:58.040That includes any type of entity in Texas.
00:27:08.000Also, I am ending the statewide mask mandate.
00:27:13.160Yeah, that's, and of course, the left is reacting as you would expect them to with that, accusing Governor Abbott of being the one who's going to be responsible for thousands of deaths.
00:27:25.500And this is an act of mass murder and so on and so forth.
00:27:29.800And so we knew we would get that reaction.
00:27:32.520Me, I'm a little bit more annoyed and disturbed by many conservatives and, you know, residents of Texas who you heard even there in the reaction, they're applauding.
00:27:57.320But let's not make the mistake of when a, when a public official, when a politician lifts these restrictions, let's not make the mistake of greeting them as liberators, our liberators.
00:28:09.740When they are lifting restrictions that they put in place and should not have been there to begin with.
00:28:15.000So now they are reversing a bad thing that they did.
00:28:22.220So we could be happy about that, obviously, but let's not applaud them.
00:28:26.140You don't deserve applause for that at all.
00:30:54.760It says, California's assembly is slated to consider a new bill requiring department store children's sections to be largely gender neutral in order to combat prejudice and judgment against gender non-conforming children.
00:31:06.300Uh, political reported earlier this week, large retailers that sell toys, clothes, and other children's items in California would have to devote floor space to merchandise marketed to both boys and girls under a new bill.
00:31:17.900Um, stores would be able to sell the same products they do now, as long as they maintain some areas where shoppers can find all toys or clothes, regardless of gender based marketing, uh, under the new bill.
00:31:28.500Now, all this does, all this accomplishes obviously is making it harder, uh, and more annoying for parents to shop for toys, which is already an annoying thing to do.
00:31:38.720Especially if you, if you make the mistake of buying toys with kids, when you have kids with you, and I've been dumb enough to do that on more than one occasion, um, all you're doing is making it more difficult for a parent to find the toy that the kid actually wants.
00:31:54.660Because no matter what, what else we're told, the reality is the majority of kids, the majority of boys prefer toys that are associated with boys.
00:32:04.500Um, you know, most of the time girls are going for the dolls and the pink stuff and everything. Boys are going for the trucks and superheroes. Yeah, there's crossover. Of course there is, but that's the exception to the rule.
00:32:20.880Vast majority of boys and girls, they want the toy. That's what they want. They're not conditioned that way. That's just what they want.
00:32:27.420Because that, those toys, it's not, it's not arbitrary. Those toys, um, speak to something innate, inherent within them.
00:32:37.000Why do little girls like dolls? Well, because even little girls have that, that kind of burgeoning maternal instinct that boys by and large don't have.
00:32:47.360Most boys, if you tried with all your might to condition them to like dolls, they still wouldn't because they don't. Now, you know, my sons, they'll, they'll play with dolls because they're going to have the dolls fighting each other.
00:33:01.920They're going to like rip a doll's head off. They're going to do that kind of thing. They're going to have Spider-Man, you know, they have the doll and they got the small Spider-Man figure.
00:33:08.580The doll is kind of like a, a baby Godzilla going through the city, Spider-Man's battle. Like that's how they play with dolls. Um, whereas my daughter, she's going to pick up the doll, brush its hair, pretend to feed it, put all, get all the nice outfits and dress the doll.
00:33:25.720She, that's what she does. It's not conditioning. That's, that's inherent. That's innate.
00:33:32.560And I've, I've had a, a somewhat unique view of this, um, as a parent of boy, girl twins. So our first kids, boy, a girl twins, um, they had access to all the same toys.
00:33:49.780You know, we, we had a toy toy room in the house, the house that we lived in at the time when they were born. And for the first few years of our life, we had a toy room. We had all the toys.
00:33:57.580And, you know, most of the time the toy room is an absolute disaster. It's like a tornado was, was in there and the toys are strewn all over the place. Um, and it's not like when I, when you bring your, your little two-year-old boy and girl into the, uh, into the playroom, it's not, you're not saying to them, no, those are your toys as a boy.
00:34:13.700I better not catch you touching that doll over there, son. Even I don't do that. Surprisingly.
00:34:19.820No, you, you bring the kids into the toy room. You say, have at it, go crazy.
00:34:23.440And what do they do? Even at the age of two, they gravitate right towards their gender-specific toys with no guidance or instruction from the parents.
00:34:35.060Isn't that a coincidence? Isn't it such a coincidence that almost every child on earth seems to do that?
00:34:41.060All right. Um, finally, number five here, Amazon has tweaked the logo for its smartphone app because people thought that the, that the, uh, the other logo looked like Hitler.
00:34:52.580And so it's a, it's a, this one's just hilarious. I have to say, uh, in, in, in the, in the original smartphone app logo, you've got the, the arrow thing that looks like the, the, the smiley face, the mouth.
00:35:08.660And then you've got something there that looks kind of like, I guess, the Hitler mustache.
00:35:14.660And they had to go back and change it. And on this one, I have to say, yeah, I can kind of see it.
00:35:20.820Obviously we know the left there, they're finding Hitler everywhere. They look, they're finding Nazis everywhere.
00:35:24.720They look on that one. Yeah. I can kind of see, I can see Hitler there. I'm not offended by it. It's hilarious, but I guess I won't blame Amazon for making the changes there.
00:35:34.860All right. Let's move now to reading the comments. Um, this is from Mr. S says, remember kids, the slippery slope fallacy isn't a fallacy whatsoever.
00:35:47.640That's exactly right. I can keep saying this till I'm blue in the face that there is no such thing as the slippery slope fallacy.
00:35:54.840There are slippery slope arguments that are made fallaciously. There are bad versions of the slippery slope argument.
00:36:00.720There are people arguing that something is a slippery slope and it really isn't. So that would be a fallacious slippery slope argument.
00:36:06.800But the slippery slope argument in and of itself is not a fallacy at all.
00:36:11.560All it is meant to do is, is to demonstrate how this thing will lead to another thing and then lead to another thing.
00:36:18.400And the reason that you're doing that is to, to try, to try to, to point out the logical flaws in this course of action.
00:36:26.060Uh, so yes, thank you. Thank you for that.
00:36:31.800Vladimir Putin username, apparently a big fan of the show, uh, says, I guess that wouldn't be a big surprise to the left.
00:36:39.120Says, Mr. Walsh, what is the best board game and why is it battleship?
00:36:44.420Battleship is the best board game. What are you eight years old?
00:36:47.220No, the, the best board game is, uh, Settlers of Catan.
00:37:59.080Um, so you're, you're, you're, you're seeing athleticism feats of, of strength and agility and all of that on display from, from real humans, not avatars on a screen.
00:38:13.960So that, I guess I can't do any more to explain the difference.
00:38:26.840Open fit is a simple streaming service that allows you to work out from the comfort of your own home in as little as 10 minutes a day.
00:38:32.400What makes it different is that it offers live classes for some of the most famous trainers in the world who can give you personal feedback in real time.
00:38:38.580Uh, it's absolutely invaluable for that reason.
00:38:40.260You can take a ton of different classes from beginner to advanced, including strength training, cardio, Pilates, yoga, uh, even meditation.
00:38:47.060I'm probably not gonna be taking the yoga, but, but many other great things as well.
00:38:49.860Your trainers are there to keep you motivated and give you direction to help you improve your form.
00:38:55.360You can get a full year of personal training classes for about, uh, the cost of one in-person training class.
00:39:00.580By turning your camera on, the trainer can see you, you can interact with each other, and you don't even have to leave the comfort of your home.
00:39:06.740You know, I've been using open fit, uh, looking for gyms around here, decided to use this.
00:39:10.880And the great thing is that, uh, we talk about 10 minutes a day, even if you don't, it takes away all excuses.
00:39:15.840So you feel like, well, I don't have time to go to the gym.
00:39:18.060Yeah, but you still got 10 minutes, 20 minutes to turn on, uh, to, to go and open fit, stream this and take care of fitness for the day.
00:41:13.420He's a member of the FDA Advisory Committee and director of the Vaccine Education Center at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia.
00:41:19.500And he's been on cable news quite often offering his prognostications and instructions.
00:41:26.260Most recently, he went on CNN and discussed the question of whether masking and social distancing should now become a permanent part of our lives.
