The Matt Walsh Show - Ep. 678 - Military Attacks Journalist. 'Anti-Fascist' Crowd Cheers.

00:00:00.000 Today on The Matt Wall Show, under Biden's leadership, the United States military will now condemn and try to intimidate journalists who criticize its policies.

00:00:08.600 Is that a positive development? I don't think so, but we'll talk about it.

00:00:11.300 Also, five headlines including controversy over a joke about feminists at the Grammys.

00:00:15.520 Not as much controversy, though, about an onstage strip show, however.

00:00:19.920 And the Vatican makes headlines by affirming church teaching that has been in place for 2,000 years.

00:00:24.900 Breaking news.

00:00:26.240 Finally, in our daily cancellation, we'll deal with the woke school in New York that has now banned the words mom and dad on grounds that they aren't inclusive enough.

00:00:34.320 All of that and much more today on The Matt Wall Show.

00:00:43.400 We discussed on Friday the reaction to Tucker Carlson's controversial comments about women in the military.

00:00:49.820 And, of course, when I say controversial, I mean that the point he made was indisputably correct and totally in line with science and basic common sense.

00:00:57.200 As we know, you know, those kinds of comments, that would be the common sense comments, are the most controversial these days.

00:01:04.440 So to review briefly, Carlson reacted to President Biden's announced efforts to recruit more women, including pregnant women, into the military. 0.95

00:01:12.860 Carlson pointed out that other countries like China are trying to masculinize their militaries while we are apparently trying to feminize ours.

00:01:20.700 That's not a good thing, he says.

00:01:23.340 And I would agree.

00:01:24.660 You know, we know it's not good based, again, on common sense.

00:01:27.960 Men are faster, stronger, more aggressive, more lethal.

00:01:31.580 So it stands to reason that the more men you have in your military as a percentage, the stronger, faster, more aggressive, and more lethal your military will be.

00:01:40.000 The less you have as a percentage, the weaker, slower, and less lethal you will be.

00:01:47.240 Now, you don't have to have a PhD in mathematics to work out this equation.

00:01:50.560 And if common sense judgments aren't your thing, then you can look at the empirical data.

00:01:56.280 As mentioned on Friday, the Marine Corps did a study on this very subject a few years ago and found that all male units were better by every relevant measure than mixed gender units.

00:02:08.160 We also know that the Navy SEALs opened up their ranks to women a while ago, but no woman has succeeded in actually becoming a Navy SEAL.

00:02:14.320 Not because they're barred from entry anymore.

00:02:16.380 I mean, they can attempt to become a Navy SEAL.

00:02:18.480 They haven't succeeded in doing that, even when given the opportunity.

00:02:21.580 Why?

00:02:21.940 Well, because the SEALs are an elite force.

00:02:25.240 And all of the, apparently, elite members of the military are men.

00:02:29.680 Now, further on the empirical front, the Daily Wire had this report just yesterday.

00:02:35.460 It says the United States Army is reportedly considering doing away with its new gender-neutral physical test after test results showed that the majority of women failed while approximately 90% of men passed.

00:02:46.900 Officials are reportedly considering having different evaluation categories for men and women due to the physiological differences between the two.

00:02:54.740 Hmm.

00:02:55.400 Physiological differences.

00:02:56.940 Might be some significance to that.

00:02:58.460 I mean, maybe there's physiological differences that make women less effective in combat. 1.00

00:03:03.240 I don't know.

00:03:05.000 Continuance says research showed that the Army combat fitness test, which is the same for male and female soldiers, was leading to lower results for women with a knock-on effect for promotions.

00:03:14.000 The Telegraph reported, an early Pentagon study showed that women were failing the ACFT at a rate of 65%.

00:03:22.140 65%, while only 10% of men failed.

00:03:26.740 A report from last fall found that 54% of women failed the test, while only 7% of men failed it.

00:03:31.880 The report said that Congress, which is controlled by Democrats, stopped the new program from being implemented, and the Army is reviewing whether it's fair.

00:03:39.040 However, Congress does not want the test as it is currently constructed to factor into opportunities for advancement, according to the report.

00:03:46.900 Okay.

00:03:47.880 We have to ask ourselves, is it good or bad, generally speaking, when the Army is getting rid of or lowering physical standards in order to be inclusive of anyone, including women?

00:04:00.080 Would you say that our military is more or less effective, more or less intimidating, more or less equipped to defend our nation when it lowers its physical standards in the name of inclusivity and feminism?

00:04:14.000 Here's another question with an answer just as obvious.

00:04:17.220 Is it good or bad when uniformed military leaders begin publicly attacking journalists who criticize government policy?

00:04:23.980 What we've seen over the past several days is, I think, truly unprecedented, at least in modern American history.

00:04:30.740 I can't remember anything like this ever happening.

00:04:34.500 I mean, the military has, of course, been severely criticized by the media through the years.

00:04:39.540 As long as there's been a media, it has criticized the military and military policy.

00:04:44.760 This is right and proper in a free country.

00:04:47.260 We should have a media that criticizes the military.

00:04:49.340 It's also right and proper that the military has had a policy of mostly ignoring these criticisms.

00:04:56.480 We don't pay our military leaders to be pundits.

00:04:59.820 They can do that when they retire.

00:05:01.240 A lot of them do.

00:05:02.300 Fine.

00:05:03.080 But it's better if they refrain while they're still on the job.

00:05:05.960 And this had been the precedent until the last few days, when branches of the military, including the Marine Corps, came out in an official capacity on their official social media channels and attacked Tucker Carlson by name.

00:05:19.000 For critiquing their policies. 0.96

00:05:21.400 U.S. Marine Corps Master Gunnery Sergeant Scott Stalker posted on the U.S. Space Command's official government Twitter account going after Carlson, spouting a bunch of half-baked feminist nonsense. 1.00

00:05:31.600 Then an official Marine Corps account for the MEF information group joined in, chastising Carlson, calling him a boomer, and posting a picture of a female Marine carrying a male Marine.

00:05:43.660 Perhaps not incidentally, they didn't post a video of this happening, only the picture.

00:05:48.600 Probably because they didn't want us to see that she carried him only for long enough to take the picture and then dropped him right away.

00:05:55.020 The Pentagon also responded.

00:05:56.520 This is just a partial list of people currently in positions of leadership in the military responding in official capacities to this commentator on Fox News.

00:06:13.900 Now, the responses from the Marines are especially ironic and troubling.

00:06:18.880 Ironic because it was the Marines' own study which found that mixed gender units are less effective.

00:06:26.360 So, the Marines are now condemning a member of the media for agreeing with the results of their own study, which came out in like 2016.

00:06:35.420 It wasn't 50 years ago.

00:06:36.820 Also, troubling because it's the Marines, for God's sake.

00:06:41.540 If they go full feminist, then, I mean, what hope do we have? 0.75

00:06:46.060 But, of course, through all of this, the media has cheered the military leaders who have put on their uniforms and delivered politically motivated rhetorical attacks in their official capacities as spokesmen for the military.

00:06:56.160 That is, the people who panicked over the rise of fascism for the past four years are now applauding military officials for behaving exactly as military officials would behave under a fascist dictatorship.

00:07:11.420 I mean, can you imagine how the media would have reacted if military generals in uniform had chastised, let's say, Don Lemon for criticizing Trump's military policies?

00:07:23.020 Can you imagine that?

00:07:26.940 How they would react to that?

00:07:28.680 Because, again, the issue here is it's the military not simply defending itself, which, by the way, it's not its job to do that either.

00:07:37.220 It's the military's job to defend itself and the country on the battlefield.

00:07:41.760 It's not its job to defend itself on the battlefield of cable news.

00:07:47.300 It's supposed to be above that and beyond that and focused on things other than that.

00:07:52.800 But it's not just that.

00:07:54.400 It's not the military defending itself.

00:07:56.160 It's these military leaders offending, defending rather, President Biden's policies.

00:08:03.900 They're coming to the defense of Biden's policies because that is what was criticized.

00:08:09.960 Biden's policies.

00:08:11.200 Now, imagine, again, if this had happened under Trump.

00:08:18.140 If Trump had his military leaders in uniform on TV and on the Internet defending his policies.

00:08:25.640 I mean, that would have been six months of outraged headlines right there, more than six months.

00:08:32.240 We would have quite literally never heard the end of it.

00:08:34.680 And the media certainly would have considered it proof of their fascism claim.

00:08:40.200 And they'd be right, actually, in that case.

00:08:42.640 It would be it would at least be evidence of fascism.

00:08:45.800 Now, am I saying that Biden's government is fascist?

00:08:48.400 No.

00:08:48.960 I mean, fascist isn't the right word.

00:08:50.400 But it is tyrannical and oppressive in its own way.

00:08:56.360 Leftist governments always are.

00:08:58.180 And this one, as we have seen, is surely no exception.

00:09:01.260 Let's get now to our five headlines.

00:09:09.380 You know, one thing is clear that big tech companies, to put it mildly, have a lot of power in our country today and a lot of control over our lives.

00:09:18.620 And as private entities, they can operate pretty much as they choose.

00:09:22.040 That's why you got to protect your personal data from big tech with the VPN that I trust, my online protection.

00:09:27.160 That's ExpressVPN.

00:09:28.220 When I use ExpressVPN, my connection gets rerouted through their secure, encrypted servers, so these companies can't see my IP address at all.

00:09:36.060 That's going to give me privacy, which I need, and I think we all deserve when we're online.

00:09:41.680 There's no reason why going online should have to mean that you sacrifice all of your privacy, and it doesn't mean that, because you can get ExpressVPN.

00:09:47.780 My internet activity becomes anonymous, and my network activity is encrypted.

00:09:52.580 I recommend ExpressVPN to anyone who uses the internet.

00:09:54.860 So, basically, to everyone.

00:09:56.840 I think we all use the internet.

00:09:57.900 So, I'm recommending it to everybody.

00:09:59.620 And the best part is you don't need to be tech-savvy at all to use ExpressVPN.

00:10:03.180 Like I always tell you, if you had to be tech-savvy to use it, then I wouldn't be using it or recommending it.

00:10:08.820 But I can use it, which means that you can.

00:10:11.040 All you have to do, this is what it comes down to, just download the app on your phone or computer and tap a button, and you're done.

00:10:18.480 You're protected.

00:10:19.020 It's that easy.

00:10:19.900 Protect your internet activity with the VPN that I use every day.

00:10:23.100 And now is the time to use it to give yourself a little bit of privacy and some control where big tech tries to take it away.

00:10:41.840 Well, I hope you guys are enjoying Daylight Savings Time so far.

00:10:46.800 Well, you know, we're a couple days into Daylight Savings Time.

00:10:48.940 Can I just say, I don't like the Daylight Savings slander and defamation that goes on.

00:10:54.400 I am, I'm a, I like Daylight Savings.

00:10:56.600 If I'm the only one left in the world who does, I will say, I like Daylight Savings Time.

00:11:02.380 It is, uh, nobody knows why we do it.

00:11:05.080 No one knows.

00:11:06.580 No one can explain it.

00:11:07.840 It's something that we do.

00:11:08.840 It's a sacred tradition.

00:11:10.240 It's the sacred tradition of our forefathers and their fathers before them.

00:11:14.640 We take part in this mysterious dance of changing the clock back and forth.

00:11:19.740 Nobody knows why, but we do it.

00:11:21.360 And that's what makes it special.

00:11:24.200 Also, you know, the other thing, it's a big idea.

00:11:27.380 You know, Daylight Savings, say what you want about it.

00:11:29.640 It's a big idea, right?

00:11:32.560 An interesting idea.

00:11:33.940 We're actually manipulating or trying to manipulate time itself.

00:11:38.640 And you don't get those kinds of ideas anymore.

00:11:41.600 Can you imagine if Daylight Savings never existed?

00:11:45.440 And, uh, and the concept never existed.

00:11:48.000 And then in the year 2021, someone suggested it.

00:11:51.060 Like, let's say some politician suggested that we, that we do this.

00:11:54.880 Came along and said, hey, you know, um, you know, in the summertime, it's warm out.

00:12:00.020 We want to spend more time outside, but it gets dark around like 630.

00:12:04.300 Well, what if we pretend that 630 is really 730?

00:12:10.860 What if we all agree to just pretend that the clock has moved forward in an hour?

00:12:15.740 That we get an extra day of, extra hour of daylight.

00:12:18.320 If someone suggested that now, we would look at them like they're insane.

00:12:23.900 We wouldn't even consider it.

00:12:26.180 Yet, because it was suggested decades ago, we all just do this.

00:12:29.840 We go along with it.

00:12:31.220 And I'm saying that like it's a, it's a good thing.

00:12:35.560 It's, again, it's utterly pointless.

00:12:38.140 No reason to do it, but we do it anyway.

00:12:40.300 And I, for one, appreciate that.

00:12:42.280 All right.

00:12:42.480 Speaking of things that, um, are pointless and have no reason to be done, the stimulus checks,

00:12:46.980 uh, have started to go out this, uh, this past weekend.

00:12:51.080 NBC News reports stimulus checks are starting to land in Americans' bank accounts across the

00:12:54.960 country this weekend, just days after President Joe Biden signed the $1.9 trillion American

00:13:00.360 rescue plan into law.

00:13:02.260 Um, this is, he signed the thing into law and these, and these checks started hitting almost

00:13:07.300 instantly.

00:13:07.860 People were getting them in their, in their check, in their, um, bank accounts.

00:13:10.740 The third round of direct payments, which follows two previous sets of payments are the most

00:13:15.360 substantial yet.

00:13:16.120 Although some of the people included in the last deal won't be eligible this time.

00:13:20.820 Um, those who make less than 75,000 or heads of households who make less than 112,000 are

00:13:26.800 eligible for the full $1,400 payment.

00:13:29.080 Individuals earning less than 80,000 and heads of households making less than 120,000 are still

00:13:34.140 eligible for reduced payments.

00:13:36.240 Couples who file taxes jointly qualify for the full payment.

00:13:39.020 If they're up to 150,000 and receive partial payments, if they make up to 160,000, I don't

00:13:42.720 know why I'm reading this.

00:13:43.800 I mean, if you've got the money in your bank account, you already know how much you got.

00:13:46.400 Um, and then $1,400 or more for each child, including children over 18, including children

00:13:53.260 over 18.

00:13:55.000 Did I know that?

00:13:55.900 I'm just reading that now.

00:13:57.760 Look, I already complained about this on a Friday.

00:14:00.400 People don't like it when I complain about this because people like free money, which I

00:14:03.580 understand, and, and we all know that, that giving millions of people who didn't lose their

00:14:12.100 jobs.

00:14:12.480 Now, I know that some of the people getting the money did lose their jobs and need the

00:14:16.020 money.

00:14:16.340 I understand that.

00:14:17.340 But also there are millions of people getting the money who did not lose their jobs and are

00:14:21.320 not suffering any particular financial hardship.

00:14:23.880 They're doing okay.

00:14:24.560 At least they're doing as well as they were doing a year ago before the pandemic started

00:14:28.620 and give them all money.

00:14:32.740 Why?

00:14:33.320 There's no reason to do it.

00:14:34.820 There's no just, there's no reasonable justification for this.

00:14:39.880 Uh, and I think everyone knows that, but you also like free money.

00:14:43.480 So you prefer if we don't talk much about it.

00:14:45.580 And of course, if you get the money, you don't want to feel guilty about it, which I've already

00:14:48.320 said, listen, if you get the money, I'm not saying you should feel guilty.

00:14:51.680 Uh, they sent it to you.

00:14:53.180 What else are you going to do with it?

00:14:54.560 I'm not saying you send it back to the government.

00:14:58.180 Fine.

00:14:58.640 You keep it.

00:14:59.080 You spend it or better yet, save it.

00:15:02.580 So I'm not saying that at all, but can we at least agree or acknowledge that this is

00:15:09.220 totally insane to be doing this, spending billions of dollars, sending huge checks to

00:15:17.480 people who don't even need it.

00:15:19.320 And it's worse than that, in fact, because we set this arbitrary income line.

00:15:25.140 Well, you know what?

00:15:26.580 There are going to be a lot of like single people who make under that, that income level,

00:15:31.320 but are doing perfectly fine.

00:15:33.580 They've got, you know, they don't have any dependents.

00:15:35.260 They're doing well.

00:15:36.160 They didn't lose any money.

00:15:37.660 Maybe they even got a raise.

00:15:38.740 I mean, with this system, you could have people who got raises during the pandemic and are

00:15:44.520 actually making more money and doing better than they were doing before and they get checks.

00:15:49.500 Meanwhile, you could have people, heads of households, people that have dependents and

00:15:54.120 children who suffered devastating financial losses during the pandemic, but get nothing

00:15:59.400 because they still technically make over the totally arbitrary income threshold that was

00:16:04.540 set up.

00:16:06.320 So it's worse than simply giving money to people who don't need it.

00:16:10.960 You're giving money to people who don't need it instead of giving it to people who do need it.

00:16:17.920 Instead of taking the time, putting the effort in to figure out who actually lost money during

00:16:24.700 the pandemic, who lost their job, who actually suffered financial misfortune, let's help them out.

00:16:30.580 Rather than doing that, we're going to give it, you know, we're going to give, we're going to send 0.56

00:16:34.440 a check to some single guy living on his own, making $70,000 a year, doing perfectly fine.

00:16:42.820 Let's send him a check.

00:16:43.920 Why not?

00:16:45.200 I can think of a lot of reasons why not, but we did it anyway.

00:16:49.460 All right.

00:16:49.700 Number two, the Grammys happened yesterday.

00:16:52.780 Of course, I didn't watch those at all because I value my time and my sanity.

00:16:57.840 Um, I am told though, by the media that Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion, I don't know if

00:17:05.760 that's how it's pronounced.

00:17:06.840 So Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion, uh, performed their, their hit single, of course, WAP.

00:17:12.140 And I'm told by the media, it was an X-rated performance.

00:17:14.540 They were, it was basically a stripping on, not basically, they actually had stripper poles 0.99

00:17:18.520 and they were stripping on stage.

00:17:19.600 Um, and this is, of course, being celebrated and what a wonderful feminist expression of, 0.96

00:17:26.900 of female, you know, independence and, and all of it and enlightenment and all of that. 1.00

00:17:33.720 So we've got that.

00:17:37.180 We've got these filthy rich people on stage performing on a strip pole network TV, you know,

00:17:44.800 at a time of night when there are still plenty of kids that are still awake and we're doing that.

00:17:49.480 And that, that, that's great.

00:17:51.420 Fantastic.

00:17:53.300 Um, but the Muppets, we have to have a parental disclaimer on the Muppets.

00:17:59.780 Then we got to get rid of the Dr. Seuss books.

00:18:02.900 And, uh, we got to have a disclaimer on, on Peter Pan.

00:18:06.300 And in fact, we have to take Peter Pan.

00:18:07.880 Disney plus has taken Peter Pan and taking it off of the children's profiles on their,

00:18:11.660 on their streaming service because we don't want to expose kids to that.

00:18:15.100 And putting it on, you know, and, and, and offering that bit of insulation from, from the kids.

00:18:19.880 Cause we don't want to expose kids to Peter Pan or the Muppets.

00:18:24.540 Or, uh, if I ran a zoo by Dr. Seuss, don't want to expose them to that. 0.96

00:18:32.320 But sure, these, uh, these two women on a strip pole singing about their genitalia. 1.00

00:18:37.540 Fantastic. 0.97

00:18:39.940 I really, you know, talk about this new version of Puritanism and these are the new Puritans. 0.69

00:18:44.800 We've talked about it plenty of times.

00:18:46.300 These are the new Puritans. 1.00

00:18:47.640 They get offended and are worried about the, um, the impact of cartoons, Pepe Le Pew, cartoon skunk.

00:18:55.760 They're worried about the impact of cartoons and children's books, but not WAP.

00:19:01.720 And I really do prefer, it's, it's this inverted Puritanism and I really do prefer the old style Puritans.

00:19:10.180 I didn't agree with everything they thought and everything they did, but at least they were coherent.

00:19:14.140 You could say that much for them.

00:19:15.360 Bill Burr, uh, comedian, he did spark outrage.

00:19:20.960 Now the, the, uh, the, the strip show on stage, there's no outrage there.

00:19:24.860 That's fine.

00:19:25.460 All we could do, because you don't want to, you know, you have to, you have to celebrate that.

00:19:27.960 It's a, what could we possibly say to criticize that? 0.92

00:19:30.620 What are you, some kind of prude?

00:19:31.460 But we can criticize this. 0.67

00:19:34.840 Bill Burr, while, um, introducing a Latino music category, made a joke.

00:19:39.880 God forbid.

00:19:40.380 He's a comedian.

00:19:41.540 God forbid the comedian makes a joke.

00:19:43.560 And this is what outraged a lot of people.

00:19:45.860 Let's, uh, let's listen to it.

00:19:47.700 All right. 0.99

00:19:48.500 Hey, how many, uh, feminists are like going nuts? 1.00

00:19:50.900 So how, why is this, this white male doing all this Latino stuff? 1.00

00:19:54.320 Uh, and the Grammy goes. 0.98

00:19:57.080 That's it.

00:19:58.920 That was the whole joke.

00:19:59.920 A lot of tweets.

00:20:01.940 His name was trending.

00:20:02.760 I think it's still trending on Twitter right now.

00:20:04.120 People were upset about that.

00:20:06.560 Well, I think in fairness, it was that.

00:20:08.420 And also he mispronounced, because I guess he gave, he gave out a few awards for in the

00:20:13.540 Latino music category.

00:20:14.460 That's what he was making a joke about there.

00:20:16.380 And, uh, he mispronounced the name of one of the artists with a name that, by the way,

00:20:21.660 I can't pronounce either.

00:20:22.500 Probably neither can you.

00:20:24.540 So those two things, that's offensive.

00:20:27.520 That right there, incredibly offensive.

00:20:29.320 Not WAP and the strip show and all that.

00:20:31.780 Just so we know.

00:20:32.460 Okay.

00:20:33.440 More celebrity news.

00:20:34.480 Sarah Silverman, uh, lashed out on her. 1.00

00:20:37.600 I think this is on her podcast.

00:20:38.720 She lashed out against political tribalism and had a lot of people on the right cheering,

00:20:44.280 cheering what she had to say.

00:20:45.480 They kind of saw it as her maybe defecting from the left a little bit, but let's, let's

00:20:49.200 take a listen and, and, and see what we think about it.

00:20:51.180 Here it is.

00:20:51.500 It's the absolutist ness of the party.

00:20:58.340 I am in that is such a turnoff to me.

00:21:03.120 It's so elitist.

00:21:05.880 You know, for something called progressive, it allows for zero progress.

00:21:12.760 It's all or nothing.

00:21:14.400 No steps toward all or nothing.

00:21:20.120 Again, righteousness porn.

00:21:22.160 And I've been thinking about this a lot, just in general.

00:21:28.720 I just, I don't know that I want to be associated with any party.

00:21:33.080 I really, I think I don't want to be associated with any party anymore.

00:21:41.460 It just, it comes with too much baggage.

00:21:48.060 Every party, it comes with so much f***ing baggage that no ideas can be taken at face value.

00:21:58.260 And without ideas, what are we?

00:22:01.300 Without a common truth, how can we talk about it?

00:22:06.280 You know, Republicans might hear an idea that they would totally agree with, but if it comes

00:22:12.040 from AOC, then they hate it.

00:22:14.160 And of course, you know, to be honest, when I hear an idea that comes from a Republican,

00:22:21.080 it's suspect to me. 0.97

00:22:25.200 We all put, we all put too much s*** on this stuff.

00:22:29.420 We no longer are able to be a nation of ideas.

00:22:34.340 So that's, I agree with much of what she had to say there.

00:22:42.060 Good points.

00:22:43.680 Some level of insight there, which I could appreciate.

00:22:46.220 And she's thinking about, you know, quote, her own side, criticizing her own side, thinking

00:22:52.920 critical about it.

00:22:53.620 All that is good.

00:22:55.980 But once again, as the guy looking for the dark cloud within the silver lining, I have

00:23:00.380 to say, some conservatives, anytime you see something like this from a celebrity, like

00:23:05.060 a little bit of criticism of their own side.

00:23:06.820 On the right, we tend to way overreact.

00:23:11.220 And we think next thing we know, she's going to be speaking at CPAC.

00:23:13.740 Next year, Sarah Silverman will be at CPAC.

00:23:17.040 And who knows?

00:23:17.900 Maybe they actually will invite her.

00:23:19.080 That's the thing.

00:23:19.880 I wouldn't be surprised if they really did invite her to come and speak at CPAC, which

00:23:23.980 would be a mistake because she's still not, I can appreciate what she's saying and agree

00:23:29.000 with much of it, but she's still not an ally in any significant way.

00:23:35.820 There's, if you're a conservative, there's still a vast gulf that separates you from Sarah

00:23:41.660 Silverman.

00:23:42.000 She's not on your side. 0.98

00:23:43.080 She never, she probably never will be in any meaningful way because the philosophical

00:23:49.820 differences are simply too vast.

00:23:52.980 And notice, and we get this a lot from some leftists who seem like they've, they're kind

00:24:01.320 of leaving the tribe a little bit because they're criticizing their own side, but they're

00:24:05.380 not really leaving the tribe at all because the tribe is defined philosophically.

00:24:10.000 What is your basic worldview?

00:24:11.380 They have the same basic worldview.

00:24:13.140 It's just a disagreement over method.

00:24:14.860 You see, the problem with the reactions against leftism's excesses and its extremes, and that's

00:24:25.300 what this is here, the problem is that it's only ever a reaction against leftism's excesses

00:24:32.740 and extremes.

00:24:34.860 Okay, but as the culture continues to go left, what was once considered an excess and an extreme

00:24:43.020 now becomes normal.

00:24:45.900 And so if all you're ever doing is, if all you're worried about is leftism's, you know,

00:24:51.580 extreme fringes, and you're saying, well, we're being too extreme over here, if that's

00:24:56.820 all you're ever looking at, then eventually you're going to be defending leftism's extremes

00:25:01.280 because the culture keeps going left.

00:25:05.680 As the culture goes left, excess becomes normal.

00:25:10.300 Leftism's excesses become normal.

00:25:13.020 That's the problem.

00:25:16.740 So what really matters, what would be really significant is a philosophical rejection of

00:25:25.940 leftism, a fundamental rejection of the leftist worldview.

00:25:31.360 Now, somebody does that, and okay, now they're an ally.

00:25:34.760 Now we really are on the same side.

00:25:36.180 But if they're maintaining that basic worldview while saying, hey, gee, guys, you know, we're

00:25:41.660 a little aggressive here, in the end, that's not really anything, I hate to tell you.

00:25:47.140 That's not much of anything.

00:25:48.220 And not to, you know, you could kind of, I still think one of the most fundamental questions

00:25:59.380 we could ask, there are a couple, but like, let's just take one.

00:26:02.640 If someone is criticizing leftism for being too extreme, and it seems like they're on the

00:26:09.220 left side, and we're thinking, oh, maybe they're defecting.

00:26:12.680 Well, what if we were to ask them, can men get pregnant in your mind? 0.97

00:26:18.000 I know you're worried about leftism being too extreme, but can men get pregnant? 0.99

00:26:21.840 What do you think?

00:26:23.820 My guess is Sarah Silverman would say, yeah, well, they can.

00:26:28.280 Many of the people on the left who are worried about the left being too extreme, if you were

00:26:31.780 to ask them that question, they would say, well, yeah, sure, men can get pregnant. 1.00

00:26:37.500 Now, if they're worried about leftism's extremism 20 years ago, they would be criticizing exactly

00:26:43.700 that position.

00:26:44.460 Now, they hold that position while criticizing the left for being too extreme.

00:26:49.980 So, you see how the process works.

00:26:52.400 Because they bought into the worldview.

00:26:55.240 They are adherents to that philosophy, to that religion.

00:26:58.800 Totally.

00:27:01.980 But yeah, it was a great point that she made.

00:27:04.960 All the same.

00:27:05.780 Number four, big news here.

00:27:07.060 This is all over the headlines.

00:27:08.820 Big headline news here.

00:27:09.820 This one is from the AP.

00:27:10.720 The Vatican decreed Monday that the Catholic Church cannot bless same-sex unions since

00:27:16.600 God cannot bless sin.

00:27:19.280 The Vatican's Orthodoxy office, the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, issued a formal

00:27:23.560 response Monday to a question about whether Catholic clergy can bless gay unions.

00:27:28.180 The answer, containing a two-page explanation published in seven languages and approved by

00:27:31.980 Pope Francis, was negative.

00:27:33.900 The decree distinguished between the Church's welcoming and blessing of gay people, which

00:27:38.420 it upheld, but not their union, since any such sacramental recognition, could be confused

00:27:42.880 with marriage.

00:27:43.460 The Vatican holds that gay people must be treated with dignity and respect, but that gay sex 1.00

00:27:47.360 is intrinsically disordered, quote-unquote. 0.81

00:27:49.500 Catholic teaching holds that marriage, a lifelong union between a man and woman, is part of God's

00:27:53.700 plan and is intended for the sake of creating new life.

00:27:55.420 But this, as I said, is treated as, I mean, literally, the AP called it breaking news.

00:28:00.900 Breaking!

00:28:01.780 The Catholic Church does not endorse same-sex unions.

00:28:05.720 No, this is not breaking news.

00:28:07.460 This was breaking news, I don't know, 2,000 years ago?

00:28:12.360 And it wasn't even breaking news then, actually.

00:28:16.340 It's not breaking news at all.

00:28:17.520 This has been the consistent teaching of the Church since its inception for, literally for

00:28:23.960 millennia, this has been the teaching of the Church.

00:28:26.800 But if you look at the reaction online, of course, people are reacting to this, like,

00:28:30.160 I can't believe that the Church, this homophobia from the Church, what are they talking about?

00:28:35.260 I can't believe they would arrive at this decision.

00:28:38.320 It's not a decision.

00:28:39.820 This has been the teaching of the Church for 2,000 years.

00:28:43.000 It's just that the left, they really can't believe that any institution in the world would

00:28:51.820 defy them, especially on an issue like this, especially when it comes to sexual morality.

00:28:58.000 They simply cannot believe.

00:29:00.560 They really did assume.

00:29:01.840 They're disappointed.

00:29:04.000 They simply assumed that the Catholic Church would change its official position on this subject

00:29:08.020 because they think it should.

00:29:10.540 And to them, it's so obvious that the Church is wrong.

00:29:14.000 So, of course, 2,000 years, who cares?

00:29:16.740 Toss that to the side.

00:29:17.660 You know, do what we want.

00:29:22.320 Everything should be changed according to our whims, because that's all that matters.

00:29:26.840 Who cares about tradition?

00:29:28.100 Throw all tradition to the side, all religion, everything, throw it to the side.

00:29:32.100 Just do what we want.

00:29:35.320 That's not only what they want, it's also what they expect.

00:29:39.940 It's their actual expectation.

00:29:41.300 And so there is palpable disappointment that the Church has not come out and reversed its

00:29:48.020 position on marriage.

00:29:51.960 Whereas for Catholics, we think, well, yeah, of course. 0.99

00:29:55.320 We knew that was going to happen.

00:29:56.360 Number five, crazy story here from Fox.

00:30:02.080 It says, a Pennsylvania woman is facing misdemeanor charges after allegedly sending deep fake naked

00:30:07.040 photos and videos of her teenage daughter's cheerleader rivals in an effort to get them

00:30:11.440 kicked off the team or convince them to kill themselves.

00:30:15.500 Raphael Marie Spohn of Chalfant was arrested March 5th, charged last week with three counts

00:30:20.940 of cyber harassment of a child and three counts of harassment.

00:30:26.240 Last summer, Spohn allegedly created doctored photos and videos of at least three teenage

00:30:31.420 members of the Victory Vipers, a competitive cheerleading squad based in Doylestown.

00:30:35.940 The image appears to show the high school girls either naked or in bikinis, drinking alcohol 0.71

00:30:40.400 and smoking vape pens.

00:30:43.260 And this was all, this is a deep fake.

00:30:44.940 This was all faked.

00:30:46.140 Obviously, it's not real.

00:30:47.980 And now she's facing misdemeanor charges.

00:30:50.360 First of all, how, how do you not have child pornography charges, felonies for something

00:30:55.760 like this?

00:30:57.300 And I'm, I'm usually the last guy to advocate that we make new laws.

00:31:00.760 You know, I think we, we make new laws far too often, but here's one where I think we

00:31:05.560 do need some new laws.

00:31:06.700 I think you need serious jail time, not just on the child pornography end of it, which

00:31:10.800 of course there should be for that, but with deep fakes, this is going to be a huge

00:31:15.080 problem.

00:31:16.600 It's already a problem.

00:31:17.940 It's going to be a huge problem.

00:31:19.460 As this technology becomes more and more convincing and when we get into video, think about how

00:31:27.800 easy it's going to be to defame someone, slander them and how impossible it will be for them

00:31:33.580 to prove otherwise.

00:31:34.340 When you can simply manufacture a photo or a video of them doing some heinous, unspeakable

00:31:39.800 thing.

00:31:41.880 There's got to be serious, serious jail time for that as, as, as a, as a means of dissuading

00:31:47.980 people from this before it becomes a major problem in society.

00:31:51.540 All right, let's move on to reading the YouTube comments.

00:31:54.440 Uh, Jacob Lipsky says, first time watching Matt Walsh, he's much skinnier than he sounds

00:31:59.480 on audio.

00:32:01.380 Not sure how to take that. 0.91

00:32:02.940 I sound like a fat person. 0.75

00:32:04.320 I guess, you know, I'm going to take that as a compliment.

00:32:08.240 Grace health says the vacant look at Biden's eyes is something that sadly I recognize.

00:32:13.440 It's the look my dad had a few years ago after he was diagnosed with Alzheimer's.

00:32:16.920 I love my dad so much.

00:32:18.600 It would never have wanted him to go through what Biden has allowed to happen to him.

00:32:22.660 I'm grateful for Nancy Reagan who protected her husband's dignity and lived privately

00:32:26.020 as Ronald Reagan succumbed to Alzheimer's disease.

00:32:29.460 Yeah.

00:32:29.960 I mentioned the vacant look in Joe Biden's eyes when you, when you watch him giving a

00:32:33.300 speech, he really looks like he doesn't understand what he's saying.

00:32:38.500 And I don't mean that as a joke.

00:32:40.240 I, I, I'm serious about it and it's not a joke at all.

00:32:43.620 It's not funny that we, that this is our president and the guy has no idea.

00:32:46.920 What's going on.

00:32:48.460 But if you haven't noticed that the next time you see him on TV, especially giving prepared

00:32:52.680 remarks, which by the way, really the only kind of remarks that he'll give because they

00:32:56.420 don't trust him to go off the cuff.

00:32:58.380 But when he's reading the, the prompter, look in his eyes, you, you can tell he doesn't

00:33:03.560 understand what he's saying.

00:33:04.480 He's not, he's not there.

00:33:06.400 And it is very similar.

00:33:07.580 If you've been around someone who struggled with Alzheimer's dementia, it is a, it's a very

00:33:11.900 similar look because that's what it, that's what he has clearly. 0.94

00:33:16.920 Um, Caleb, Caleb says, Hey Matt, I'm a conservative, but I'm starting to worry about this dumb QAnon 1.00

00:33:25.800 thing.

00:33:26.160 Like yesterday, my mom said that Pope Francis eats children on an Island.

00:33:30.100 What do I do?

00:33:34.140 Well, maybe he does.

00:33:35.260 You know, has Pope Francis been on an Island?

00:33:38.640 Yes.

00:33:40.360 Has he eaten something on an Island?

00:33:42.320 Yes.

00:33:43.340 It's all the evidence you need right there.

00:33:46.020 And that of course, for, for conspiracy, there's, that is all the evidence you need.

00:33:48.980 All you need is you need a couple little things to sort of bookend it.

00:33:52.180 And then you can fill in the middle part with whatever you want.

00:33:55.380 And that's considered evidence in your mind.

00:33:59.180 Um, yeah, it is.

00:34:00.780 Look, there, there are plenty of people on the right who go for this.

00:34:05.560 It's not a new phenomenon, by the way, they make a big deal about QAnon, but there's conspiracy

00:34:12.380 theorists on both sides of the aisle.

00:34:13.860 Um, and it's, it's, it's, there's been a segment of conservatives, a segment of people on the

00:34:20.820 right who've always gone for this kind of thing.

00:34:22.920 We just have different names we use for it.

00:34:25.920 And you go all the way back, you can, of course, you go further back than this, but think about

00:34:29.180 Sandy Hook.

00:34:30.820 There was a, I don't know what the number was.

00:34:32.440 It was a significant, it was a noticeable portion of people on the right who immediately

00:34:36.840 decided based on nothing that this, that this event didn't really happen.

00:34:42.300 And it was all a fake or these were crisis actors and all this kind of stuff.

00:34:45.780 So this kind of, this sort of thing has always been there.

00:34:48.120 It's not a new phenomenon.

00:34:50.440 It's a problem on the right.

00:34:52.100 I think we should try to engage it, try to, try to dissuade people from this.

00:34:55.540 It can be very difficult to dissuade people from it because they're deluded.

00:35:00.860 But we should also remember that it happens on the left too.

00:35:05.680 It's a bigger problem on the left because the primary conspiracy theory there is the one

00:35:12.280 that has led to the destruction of our cities, $2 billion of damage over the summer. 0.96

00:35:17.260 The conspiracy theory that police officers are out hunting for black men to murder. 0.67

00:35:23.260 That is a conspiracy theory just as absurd and lacking in evidence as anything QAnon has 0.93

00:35:30.640 come up with.

00:35:32.380 But the effects have been far more devastating in my mind.

00:35:34.520 And then another comment says, you're a prime example of why decent lighting and some hair

00:35:40.340 gel can help somebody get way more views than they deserve.

00:37:18.660 herself.

00:37:19.020 It's no secret that Candice has ruffled some feathers along her career.

00:37:50.800 Now let's get to our daily cancellation.

00:37:55.240 So today we're going to cancel with a vengeance Grace Church School.

00:37:59.860 Grace Church School achieves the double woke whammy of being both in Manhattan and Episcopal,

00:38:05.140 which is just a long way of saying that the school is a nest of moral confusion and insanity.

00:38:10.480 Case in point, they recently released their inclusive language guide.

00:38:14.260 And within this 12-page screed, the reader will discover that words like mom, dad, and

00:38:20.400 parents are non-inclusive and therefore offensive and therefore should not be used.

00:38:24.740 Now we'll dive deeper into the guide in a moment.

00:38:26.380 But first, here's a local news report about the controversy surrounding the guide, including

00:38:30.100 the reaction from the expectedly pathetic specimen who runs the school.

00:38:33.920 We'll hear what he has to say as well. 0.98

00:38:35.660 Let's listen.

00:38:37.440 Grace Church School, an independent school in Greenwich Village, prides itself in welcoming

00:38:41.700 students of all faiths or no faith at all.

00:38:44.580 But now it's finding itself facing criticism for encouraging words that promote an inclusive

00:38:49.520 environment, like saying people instead of boys and girls, and grown-up instead of parent,

00:38:54.920 since not all children are being raised by a mother and or father.

00:38:58.420 One person tweeted Grace Church School in New York should be ashamed of themselves, saying

00:39:02.080 that you can't use the words mom and dad, and you're supposed to use folks or family.

00:39:06.900 George Davison is head of Grace Church School.

00:39:09.040 We're not telling people not to call their parents mom and dad. 0.93

00:39:12.840 That's the silliest thing anybody ever came from. 1.00

00:39:15.220 And it's not even a word police.

00:39:17.700 It is rather a guide to inclusive language, if you want to use it.

00:39:22.040 Back in September, the school posted this inclusive language guide at the request of teachers and

00:39:26.600 parents who wanted help in making sure their interactions were affirming and uniting.

00:39:31.180 Parents we spoke would say they're supportive of the guidelines and proud the school is also

00:39:35.440 describing best practices for discussing faith, learning differences, and physical disabilities.

00:39:41.160 Like choosing the words physically disabled instead of handicapped.

00:39:44.640 We can't lump people together and assume anything about people, and that's at the core of what

00:39:49.860 this is about.

00:39:50.900 Natalie Egan is the founder of Translator, which builds diversity, equity, and inclusion

00:39:55.000 analytic software for schools.

00:39:57.080 She applauds Grace Church's pioneering spirit.

00:39:59.820 As we look to the future, you know, it's really important that we start to, you know,

00:40:04.160 shape our future leaders to be inclusive of all people, you know, regardless of anything.

00:40:10.900 Whoever they are, it is what we're proud of.

00:40:13.840 Whoever they are, it's what we're proud of.

00:40:19.000 Well, I might critique that statement if I had the slightest idea what it meant.

00:40:22.640 Whoever they are, it's what we're proud of.

00:40:25.260 But this is what wokeness actually is most of the time, total nonsense, literally.

00:40:29.380 I mean, nonsense in the definitional sense of the word, as in things that make no sense.

00:40:35.280 Wokeness is, in practice, a jumble of semi-coherent buzzwords mixed together in entirely incoherent

00:40:40.360 ways.

00:40:40.660 That's because the core idea, the only idea, really, is that feelings come before all else.

00:40:47.140 The only thing that matters, the only thing, period, is how the individual feels.

00:40:52.920 Well, certain individuals, anyway.

00:40:55.280 A very select group of individuals, as it turns out.

00:40:57.500 Wokeness is not only incoherent, but elitist and oppressive.

00:41:00.500 It puts the feelings and psychological comfort of a tiny minority of the population above

00:41:05.140 the emotional and practical concerns of everyone else on earth.

00:41:09.480 How many people on the globe, as a percentage, would actually find references to mom and dad,

00:41:14.520 or even parents, as offensive?

00:41:16.880 How many would profess themselves otherized by such words?

00:41:20.400 What percent of people would have a problem with it?

00:41:22.460 0.1 percent?

00:41:23.740 0.01 percent?

00:41:24.900 0.001 percent?

00:41:26.920 Whatever the percentage is, and whoever those people are, and however numerous they are or

00:41:31.040 aren't, they are all that matter.

00:41:33.660 That's the message.

00:41:34.700 It's only them.

00:41:35.480 They're the only ones that matter.

00:41:37.340 So let's take a look at this guide.

00:41:38.600 It says right at the top, the goal of this guide is to provide the community with more

00:41:42.980 inclusive language that is aligned with the mission of Grace Church School.

00:41:46.300 While we recognize hateful language that promotes racism, misogyny, homophobia, and

00:41:49.620 other forms of discrimination are already addressed in our school handbooks, we also recognize

00:41:53.220 that we can do more than ban hateful language.

00:41:55.240 We can use language to create welcoming and inclusive spaces.

00:41:58.280 This guide addresses ways we can remove harmful assumptions from the way we interact with

00:42:02.440 each other.

00:42:03.580 Then there's a chart, and on one side it says, instead of, and lists all the phrases that

00:42:08.360 you shouldn't use, and on the other it says, at grace we say, and it lists the alternatives.

00:42:13.320 Remember how George Davidson, the head of the school, assured us that they aren't banning

00:42:17.320 words like mom and dad. 0.99

00:42:18.500 Don't be silly. 1.00

00:42:19.640 Why, that's the most ridiculous thing he's ever heard. 0.99

00:42:22.500 They're only suggesting different words that you can use if you want to. 0.86

00:42:27.080 Except that in the guide, words like mom and dad are framed as, quote, hateful language

00:42:31.600 that promotes racism, misogyny, homophobia, and other forms of discrimination.

00:42:35.220 And the alternatives are not offered as suggestions, but as things we say at Grace Church School.

00:42:41.780 Not things we'd like you to say, but things you will say.

00:42:45.880 So as always with the woke brigade, they enact their insane agenda and then deny it and get

00:42:51.720 away with denying it because the agenda is so insane that normal people can't believe anyone

00:42:56.320 would actually want to do this.

00:42:57.480 Now, looking at the chart, here's some of the banned words and their replacements.

00:43:03.820 We'll go through some of these.

00:43:05.340 So it says, instead of boys and girls, guys, ladies, and gentlemen, at Grace we say, people,

00:43:11.840 folks, friends, readers, mathematicians.

00:43:15.740 That last one's kind of specific.

00:43:17.160 Instead of when reading a book, rather than boy, girl on this page, say child, person, character.

00:43:24.720 Instead of using pet names like sweetheart, honey, or similar, say the child's name or child

00:43:31.060 slash friend in the blue shirt.

00:43:34.040 Yes, that's a great way to build.

00:43:36.260 Rather than saying sweetheart or honey, just say, hey, kid in the blue shirt, get over here.

00:43:40.160 Um, and then, uh, let's see.

00:43:44.560 So that's a lot of gender stuff. 1.00

00:43:46.340 And then with families, it says, instead of saying mom and dad, say grownups, folks, or

00:43:50.520 family.

00:43:51.880 Instead of parents, say grownups, folks, family, or guardians.

00:43:57.420 Um, instead of nanny or babysitter, say, say caregiver or guardian.

00:44:03.620 Why is that better than nanny? 1.00

00:44:05.020 Who knows?

00:44:05.540 But just, just because nanny is a word that people have used in the past and that makes it

00:44:08.960 offensive, let's come up with a different word that means exactly the same thing.

00:44:12.220 And there's no reason why one is better than the other.

00:44:14.900 Um, instead of husband, wife, boyfriend, or girlfriend, say spouse, partner, slash significant

00:44:20.880 other.

00:44:22.980 And then, uh, and then it gives you, so those are, those are the language guides.

00:44:27.040 And that goes into rate, race, and ethnicity.

00:44:29.520 Um, instead of saying diverse or minority, say person of color.

00:44:33.600 Instead of asking, where are you from?

00:44:37.920 Ask, what is your cultural, ethnic background?

00:44:42.040 And instead of saying, what race are you?

00:44:44.820 Ask how they self-identify.

00:44:47.320 Well, that's important because, you know, uh, it's, they might identify as a race that

00:44:52.000 they aren't.

00:44:52.660 So you got to make sure that we account for that.

00:44:54.180 Now, a lot can be said about these kinds of Orwellian speech rules, but one thing that

00:44:59.100 really jumps out is just how boring and sterile and flavorless they seek to make human communication.

00:45:05.060 Remove all the personality from it.

00:45:06.920 All the character.

00:45:09.540 Right?

00:45:09.980 Instead, this is why we take sweetheart, take, take away sweetheart and honey and, you know,

00:45:13.440 the kind of pet names, especially that women will use for, for kids. 0.80

00:45:17.560 Kid in the blue shirt.

00:45:19.360 Child in the blue shirt.

00:45:21.840 Organism in the blue shirt.

00:45:22.860 Please come here presently.

00:45:26.360 Take all the specificity, specificity out as well.

00:45:29.740 You know, your mom and dad are folks.

00:45:31.500 Your wife is partner.

00:45:33.620 This is not only an oddly distanced and neutral way to refer to your own loved ones, but it

00:45:38.620 also really doesn't tell the listener anything about them.

00:45:41.640 I mean, a partner can be anyone.

00:45:42.700 You could have a partner during a science lab in 10th grade.

00:45:46.480 Folks is a word that can be applied to your parents or to a random group of strangers.

00:45:49.880 Yes, the real words, the better words, wife and mom and dad are exclusive, but that's

00:45:56.020 the point.

00:45:57.020 In order for me to know what you're saying, you have to speak in such a way as to exclude

00:46:01.680 all of the things you're not saying.

00:46:04.600 I have to know what you're not saying in order to know what you are saying.

00:46:08.060 So the leftist rules are not only not only lead to bland language, but the language that

00:46:13.080 hardly succeeds in being language at all because it hardly conveys meaning.

00:46:17.780 And that's what language is supposed to do.

00:46:20.240 Now, one other point to make here.

00:46:22.540 I said that these kinds of speech codes are meant to cater to a small minority and they 1.00

00:46:26.540 are.

00:46:26.800 But the idea is to make it so that eventually the small minority is not a minority.

00:46:35.660 The language changes don't reflect changes in cultural sensibilities or tastes.

00:46:39.700 They're meant to affect those changes, cause them.

00:46:43.340 They don't reflect the changes.

00:46:45.180 They're supposed to effect the changes.

00:46:47.740 The school isn't so much saying that mom and dad are seen as offensive words to lots of

00:46:52.960 people, but that mom and dad should be seen as offensive to lots of people.

00:46:57.920 See, the rules from the left are prescriptive, not descriptive.

00:47:01.720 It is prescription disguised as description.

00:47:05.760 The people changing the language want to change the way you see the world. 0.97

00:47:10.600 They want to change your values, your beliefs.

00:47:13.260 And changing language can be an effective way of achieving that.

00:47:17.620 We make the mistake.

00:47:18.900 We make a mistake when we boil all this stuff down to the left, just being overly sensitive,

00:47:22.960 snowflakes, and all of that.

00:47:25.300 Sensitivity really has nothing to do with it.

00:47:27.540 The truth is a lot more sinister than that.

00:47:29.420 This is brainwashing.

00:47:31.700 This is just another form of indoctrination.

00:47:35.280 And for that, Grace Church School is certainly, without a doubt, absolutely canceled.

00:47:42.500 And we will leave it there for today.
