Today on the Matt Wall Show, another man involved with Drag Queen Story Hour has turned out to be
00:00:04.280
a suspected pedophile. This should not surprise us at all. We'll talk about why. Also, five headlines,
00:00:09.060
including the father who was sent to jail for calling his daughter a she. Also, a man is a
00:00:13.540
step closer to being crowned Miss USA. That's exciting. And the Teen Vogue editor who is now
00:00:18.600
canceled for offensive tweets that she sent out a decade ago. Nobody is safe anymore. And our daily
00:00:23.600
cancellation will deal with the women's NCAA basketball players who are complaining that
00:00:28.860
they aren't being treated as equal to the male players. But should they be treated as equal?
00:00:33.480
We'll talk about that and a lot more today on the Matt Wall Show.

00:01:06.960
and famous beyond my wildest dreams. Now, we begin with an entirely unsurprising story,
00:01:12.300
but one that is no less worthy of our attention. The Daily Wire has the news here, says a Wisconsin
00:01:17.460
children's court judge who previously headed up an LGBTQ organization that fundraised for Drag Queen
00:01:22.660
Story Hour, among other programs, was arrested Tuesday on tentative charges of possession of
00:01:27.420
child pornography. Brett Blom was taken into custody by special agents with the state division
00:01:32.840
of, this is according to the Milwaukee Sentinel, by the way, the state division of criminal investigation
00:01:37.480
following an investigation into multiple uploads of child pornography through a kick messaging
00:01:42.520
application account in October, November, 2020. The Wisconsin Department of Justice reportedly
00:01:48.340
began an investigation into Blom after receiving a tip through the National Center for Missing and
00:01:52.900
Exploited Children, according to the complaint, which also alleges that Blom shared child pornography
00:01:57.040
with other kick users through private chats and messaging groups on 27 separate occasions. This is a
00:02:02.880
judge also acting this way. The complaint lists descriptions of the videos, which are both graphic and
00:02:08.580
disturbing. Some of the videos involve toddlers and other very young children. Blom, the journal Sentinel
00:02:13.720
reports, was elected to the court in the spring of 2020, defeating incumbent Milwaukee County Circuit
00:02:18.820
Judge Paul Dudinsky. In that contest, the state Democratic Party donated more than $10,000 to Blom's
00:02:25.160
campaign. Blom offered himself as the progressive alternative to Dudinsky. Before then, Blom served on
00:02:31.140
the city's Board of Zoning Appeals and also as the full-time head of the Cream City Foundation, an LGBTQ
00:02:37.800
activist organization that promoted Drag Queen Story Hour in Milwaukee. Drag Queen Story Hour is just
00:02:45.160
what it sounds like. Drag queens reading stories to children in libraries, schools, and bookstores.
00:02:49.900
That, according to the Cream City Foundation website, which promoted the events in 2019.
00:02:55.900
They also said that Drag Queen Story Hour captures the imagination and play of the gender fluidity of
00:03:02.300
childhood and gives kids glamorous, positive, and unabashedly queer role models. All right, so that's the
00:03:08.860
story there. There are so many disturbing aspects to it, not the least of which is the name of this
00:03:15.160
organization, which has dedicated itself to bringing cross-dressers and children together, Cream City
00:03:20.480
Foundation. I'm not going to speculate on that at all. Beyond that, the very idea of Drag Queen Story Hour is
00:03:26.920
itself disturbing in a deep and visceral way. But as I said, it's not surprising to find a child
00:03:32.620
predator associated with it. It's also not the first time that such a discovery has been made.
00:03:37.780
In just the city of Houston alone, two registered sex offenders were found to have been reading
00:03:42.560
stories to children while dressed in drag as part of Drag Queen Story Hours in the same year. That was
00:03:46.940
in 2019. Other drag queens, you know, may not have been registered as sex offenders as far as we know,
00:03:52.320
but their behavior raises serious questions nonetheless. Behavior such as the drag queen
00:03:57.540
who goes by the name Sasha Soda and who wore a miniskirt which exposed his crotch as he read to
00:04:03.660
children. Or behavior like the drag queen at a different story hour who laid on the floor and
00:04:09.340
let children lay on top of him. And there's photographs of that. Or behavior like this. Watch.
00:04:15.080
There's funny little dances from Fortnite. Does anybody know any of the dances from Fortnite?
00:04:21.240
Oh, then you are a credit to your community. But most of all, Michael likes to twerk. Now,
00:04:28.780
does anybody in this room know how to twerk? All right, well, it's quite important to the story,
00:04:34.880
so I will just give you a very quick demonstration. All you need to do is you just stand with your feet
00:04:39.200
sort of shoulder width apart like so. Okay, I'll show you at the side because you'll get better
00:04:43.600
for you. And you're crouched down into this sort of position here, so your bum's sticking out.
00:04:48.780
Don't be taking this all in. And then you just move your bum up and down like that. And that's
00:04:58.240
Now, if there was ever a time for a literal pitchfork mob to show up, it's when a drag queen is giving
00:05:06.160
twerking demonstrations to a room full of five-year-olds. Instead, the adults sit and laugh
00:05:12.020
and enjoy themselves, even the fathers. And I use that term loosely. But this is the kind of behavior
00:05:18.300
that, you know, may have been a warning to us. Or how about behavior such as dressing in drag and
00:05:24.660
reading to kids? You know, just that alone, even without the added bits of pedophilic degeneracy,
00:05:31.400
the very act of a man putting on women's clothes in order to go and read or speak to children,
00:05:37.360
that itself raises serious questions. Questions like, what possible good reason could there be
00:05:42.240
for this? What possible justification could there be? Is there conceivably a valid reason
00:05:47.820
for a man to say to himself, hmm, you know, I'm reading to children at the library today.
00:05:52.660
Better go throw on my mini skirt and padded bra. The answer to all these questions is obviously no.
00:05:58.380
Not only no, but hell no. Not only no, but call the cops. This should be illegal. Drag queen story
00:06:06.540
hours are and have always been a transparent, in-your-face effort to groom and sexualize
00:06:11.760
children. They're not even hiding it, clearly. I mean, that's why these programs exist. That's the
00:06:17.240
goal of everyone involved with them. There's no other conceivable point or purpose. You heard it in
00:06:24.600
the Cream City Foundation's description of drag queen story hour. They're trying to, you know,
00:06:30.320
encourage gender fluidity play. Now, drag is essentially burlesque, but with men. Not
00:06:39.320
essentially. That's what it is. If it was a female burlesque performer, all dolled up, hired to come
00:06:45.760
and read the children as part of a burlesque story hour program. Think about that. Burlesque story hour.
00:06:51.020
If that was the case, then everyone would agree that it's completely insane and inappropriate.
00:06:57.560
Though, in the age of WAP, perhaps we wouldn't even agree on that anymore. I don't know.
00:07:02.940
We should be able to agree, at least, that there are many good reasons to read books to children,
00:07:07.500
but there can't be any good reason to hire a burlesque performer to do it. The only reason to bring
00:07:13.480
her in for the job would be to try to normalize burlesque to kids, make it seem appealing,
00:07:18.860
desensitize them to it, otherwise known as sexualizing them. It's no different, no better,
00:07:24.780
certainly no better, when the performer is a man. So then, why is drag queen story hour a matter of
00:07:31.760
controversy, even on the right? You know, what's the controversy over? Should there not be universal
00:07:39.980
condemnation of it, at least among conservatives? We know that the left has lost its mind and its soul
00:07:44.720
a long time ago. But why are even people on the right reluctant to criticize this kind of thing?
00:07:51.580
Or at least reluctant to admit that it's a big deal? I mean, it's a big deal when this is going
00:07:56.200
on all across the country. This is widespread all across the country. How the hell is this happening
00:08:01.320
in our country? Why are there so many conservatives that won't admit that or don't want to talk about
00:08:07.880
it? Well, because they've been so beaten into submission, so cowed, so tamed and domesticated by our
00:08:13.620
cultural overlords, that they think it's bigotry to criticize anything that the LGBT lobby does or is
00:08:19.540
associated with or supports. Now, they don't like it. They wouldn't bring their kids to it, I hope.
00:08:26.720
They'd probably prefer if this stuff doesn't exist, but they don't want to say that too loudly for fear
00:08:31.800
that words ending in ism and phobia will be tossed at them. Well, let me be the first to say,
00:08:36.980
I absolutely have a phobia about children being abused and sexualized. I have a phobia about that.
00:08:43.940
I do. I'm bigoted against it. I discriminate against it. I hate it. This is my hate speech
00:08:50.680
targeted at it. Hate is not always a bad thing. It's often a good thing, in fact. Hate can be a good
00:08:57.320
thing. Very good thing. Necessary. Hate is a necessary part of love. If you love something
00:09:06.200
or someone, you're going to hate anything that harms that person or that thing. And hate is
00:09:12.900
especially important in a culture full of so many things worthy of our hate. Dragwing Story Hour is
00:09:19.480
certainly one of those things, and we just cannot be afraid to say it. Let's get now to our five headlines.
00:09:27.320
Before we get into our five headlines here, I want to tell you about our sponsor, MyBookie. You know,

00:10:41.960
Well, you know, I'm not much into body shaming. I'm a little bit into it, but not much. But anyway,
00:10:49.440
Bill de Blasio got the vaccine yesterday, and he put out, we got the picture up here on the,
00:10:55.780
you got to see this, he put out the picture of himself getting the shot, and you can see it there.
00:11:00.640
And I mean, my God, those arms, can I even call those withered things arms? He's literally built
00:11:09.140
like Gumby. He looks like a stick figure my four-year-old might draw. He looks like he stole
00:11:14.600
a nine-year-old boy's leg and used it as a prosthetic arm. He looks like if Elmo had gigantism
00:11:24.040
disease. His arms are like pool noodles covered in skin. I have actually seen better muscle definition
00:11:32.360
on an infant. And my point is, this is why I'm bringing this up, because those are some weak-ass
00:11:39.380
arms. But this guy was defying his own COVID restrictions to go to the gym. Like everyone
00:11:45.640
else in New York wasn't allowed to go. He had the gyms all to himself. And you'd expect at the least
00:11:50.940
he would come out looking kind of buff after that. But what was he doing in there? Lifting weights by
00:11:55.000
proxy? Did he hire some guy to lift weights for him? And he hoped that he would sort of inherit the
00:12:01.620
gains through osmosis? Good Lord. And this only, you know, proves my point that there's a story that
00:12:11.940
came out last night about Andrew Cuomo. And this is another, supposed to be another controversy about
00:12:17.280
Andrew Cuomo. And it's supposed to tell us, I think it's supposed to make us hate Andrew Cuomo even
00:12:21.540
more, but it has the opposite effect for me. Apparently, according to reports now, another scandal
00:12:27.300
is that Andrew Cuomo at his house during a party or something, he had a dartboard with Bill de Blasio's
00:12:34.580
face on it. And they were taking turns throwing darts at Bill de Blasio's face. And I have to say,
00:12:40.720
maybe Andrew Cuomo isn't so bad after all, based on that. In other vaccination news, that was all just
00:12:49.720
a long way for me to roast Bill de Blasio for having weak arms. That's because you know what,
00:12:53.580
that's the one thing on a man, you know, that, that, that is the, I will judge you on that as,
00:12:59.600
as a man, especially if you're Bill de Blasio. Okay. Other vaccination news, Dr. Sanjay Gupta had some
00:13:06.660
bad news on CNN. He says that the virus, um, it might learn how to sidestep the vaccine, which means
00:13:13.660
that you still have to wear a mask. And I guess it means that you have to wear masks forever because
00:13:19.080
the vaccine, because the virus is going to get around the vaccine. And it's also going to get
00:13:24.740
around your first mask, which is why you need a second one. But here's what the good doctor had to
00:13:29.340
say. If somebody has gotten both vaccines, uh, for Moderna and Pfizer, or just the one for J&J
00:13:35.780
and two weeks have passed, why does that person need to wear a mask if they go in public?
00:13:40.420
Well, you know, if, if the, um, if you look at the science overall, you, you know, you have to
00:13:46.780
sort of determine what level of evidence are you, you willing to sort of, you know, make these
00:13:51.300
decisions on. It makes a lot of sense. I think that if it's just the, the wild type virus that's
00:13:56.200
circulating the one that we've been talking about for the last year, you take the vaccine, it should
00:14:00.900
reduce the viral load that you could potentially carry, make it unlikely that you're infected and even
00:14:06.640
less likely that you could transmit it to others. But I think there's two points that keep coming
00:14:10.860
up. One is that there's still a lot of virus out there. So, you know, when you have that much virus
00:14:15.020
out there, could you still actually be exposed? And even though it's unlikely become an inadvertent
00:14:20.460
carrier, but the other, and at some point when we get to low enough level, which is a few thousand
00:14:26.800
cases per day, not several, you know, not 40 or 50,000 cases per day, you could say at that point,
00:14:31.880
the likelihood of someone being exposed is so small, we could start to not worry about masks.
00:14:36.640
There's another point just quickly, Jake, people who are vaccinated, they get exposed to the virus.
00:14:42.300
The virus learns then how to sort of adapt and mutate now to a vaccinated person. So some ways by
00:14:49.340
exposing vaccinated people to the virus, you, you could start to inspire more and more mutations,
00:14:54.380
which is something you don't want to do. Okay. So what, so don't get the vaccine then
00:14:59.600
they don't bother getting it. What, what, what is the message supposed to be? They are really
00:15:06.500
trying to, I, it's like, they really are trying to discourage people from getting the vaccine.
00:15:12.780
If you're, if you're anti-vax, this supposedly is a pro-vax person and on CNN, they don't like the
00:15:19.720
anti-vax crowd, but you couldn't ask for a more effective and compelling and convincing anti-vax
00:15:28.680
message. Then even if you get it, your life's not going to change. Why bother in that case?
00:15:39.220
And that, and that raises a lot of questions. Why are they trying to, why are they actually
00:15:43.040
trying to discourage people from, from getting the vaccine? Because what you're hearing there is,
00:15:48.000
is simply nonsense. We, I don't think we have the clip, but, uh, Rand Paul, Senator Rand Paul
00:15:53.220
grilled Fauci yesterday in a hearing. And Rand Paul is great at this. You know, he was, he was
00:16:01.180
grilling, um, the, uh, the, the former health secretary of Pennsylvania, the trans person
00:16:08.760
about, about, uh, we, we played that clip a couple of weeks ago, grilling on, on the issue
00:16:12.640
of, um, the trans indoctrination of kids and kids being drugged and mutilated. So, oh, we do
00:16:18.580
have the clip. Do we have it? Okay. Okay. Well here, here's Rand Paul, um, talking to Fauci
00:16:23.920
about the masks and vaccines and actually bringing some real science and some real facts
00:16:28.120
to the foreground. Let's listen. What study shows significant reinfection, hospitalization,
00:16:34.460
and death after either natural infection or the vaccine? It doesn't exist. There is no evidence
00:16:41.300
that there are significant reinfections after vaccine. In fact, I don't think we have a hospitalization
00:16:46.420
in the United States after the two week period, after the second vaccination, we don't have
00:16:51.500
a death in the United States. You're not hearing what I'm saying about variants. We're talking
00:16:57.020
about wild type versus variants. And what proof is there, what proof is there that there are
00:17:03.000
significant reinfections with hospitalizations and death from the variants? None in our country,
00:17:08.760
zero. Well, because we don't have a prevalent of a variant yet. We're having one. Can I finish?
00:17:15.240
We're having one, one, seven. That's becoming more dominant policy based on conjecture.
00:17:21.120
Yeah. This, see, this is, this is a scientific line of question and this goes on for a lot longer
00:17:26.300
than that. If you haven't watched the full exchange, it's really worth doing. And that's
00:17:30.640
why Rand Paul's great at this. I like Rand Paul a lot. Um, he doesn't, he doesn't get really any
00:17:35.080
traction when he runs for president. I think he should get a lot more traction than he does. I don't
00:17:37.980
agree with a lot of what he says because he's more, a lot more libertarian than I am. But, uh,
00:17:41.580
in, with this kind of thing, he's very good at this. And, um, but this is a scientific line of
00:17:48.200
questioning, which is what, what's the evidence? We don't want to hear maybe it could be this,
00:17:54.480
it could be that. That's not enough. We shut down society based on maybes and couldbes and
00:18:01.300
let's shut down society and, uh, we'll shut it down for a year to be safe, you know, better safe
00:18:09.580
than sorry. And then we'll wait for the evidence to come in. So we're going to shut down ahead of
00:18:13.560
time and then wait to see if there was any reason to have shut down in the first place.
00:18:18.720
That was the strategy from the very beginning. Fauci want to continue, wants to continue doing that
00:18:22.780
because he doesn't understand or doesn't, or just does not care about the human cost of
00:18:30.540
lockdown, shutting down schools, all of that doesn't care. He's not affected by it. He's
00:18:35.220
doing great. He's getting paid a lot of money. It's probably the best year of his life this past
00:18:39.620
year. And so all the other human suffering means nothing to him. So it's very easy for him to say,
00:18:46.860
well, yeah, we'll keep the measures in place and we'll see. Check back in a year, get some more
00:18:51.400
studies in there. Ram Paul's point is there's no evidence to support this. Telling people to wear
00:18:57.460
masks or to stay socially distanced after the vaccine. What is the evidence to support you
00:19:05.600
saying that? Answer? Well, we don't have any. There could be some out there somewhere. We haven't found
00:19:11.240
it yet. All right. Well, then we're going to simply ignore you. All right. Number two from the Daily
00:19:17.840
Wire says on Tuesday, the father of a biological girl who believes she's a boy turned himself into a
00:19:23.040
Canadian court and was subsequently taken to jail after the attorney general of British Columbia
00:19:27.740
issued an arrest warrant for contempt after the father had insisted on referring to his daughter
00:19:32.860
as his daughter and use the pronouns she and her. God forbid. Robert Hoogland from Surrey, British
00:19:40.980
Columbia has a 14 year old daughter. In February, 2019, the Supreme Court of British Columbia ordered that
00:19:47.000
the girl received testosterone injections without obtaining parental consent. 14 years old.
00:19:54.300
This is four years before this, this child is considered an adult able to make adult decisions.
00:20:03.880
14, certainly under the age of consent, anywhere in the Western world, as far as I know.
00:20:10.180
14, can't consent to, at 14, by the law, you can't consent to like anything without, without your
00:20:18.440
parent involved, except this, except, um, injecting foreign chemicals into your body to try to change
00:20:26.820
your body in, in profound and permanent ways. The, the long lasting permanent side effects of which we don't
00:20:37.820
even fully know yet. Um, so it says Canada ordered that the girl received testosterone injections
00:20:45.780
without obtaining parental consent. The federalist notes that the court also declared that if either
00:20:50.580
of her parents referred to her using female pronouns or addressed her by her birth name,
00:20:55.900
they would be considered guilty of family violence. Canada has lost its mind completely. Well, the entire
00:21:05.160
Western world has, but Canada is a little bit, there's a few train cars up ahead of us on the crazy
00:21:10.440
train. When she was in seventh grade, the girl's school urged the girl to see psychologist, Dr.
00:21:15.680
Wallace Wong, who recommended the girl should begin taking cross-sex hormones at 13. Hoogland cited his
00:21:22.440
daughter's alleged history of mental health issues and refused to give permission. Doctors at BC
00:21:27.060
Children's Hospital decided that the girl should receive testosterone injections. And, um, and now fast forward a little
00:21:34.000
bit. Legally, he's not even allowed to refer to his, his own daughter as a daughter, as a girl. He's arrested for
00:21:39.800
that. And if you're living South of the Canadian border, you live in America and you think that they're crazy up
00:21:47.700
there. That's never going to happen here. Oh, it'll happen here. That this, this is happening here. This will
00:21:52.280
happen. They've already laid the groundwork for it. Lay the groundwork first through the rejection of biological
00:22:01.000
biological science, the rejection of objective more, uh, reality and morality.
00:22:08.860
And then by saying that it's, you know, it's, it's hateful to use biologically correct pronouns
00:22:17.280
when referring to someone, it's an act of hate. Well, if that's the case, then it's, it's, it's only so
00:22:24.960
long before they say, well, there need to be laws in place to protect, you know, gender confused people
00:22:30.560
from hearing the correct biological pronouns. And this, this again shows why it is so important
00:22:37.580
for us to, to not go along with this. It is not a small issue. The gender stuff in general,
00:22:45.400
as you know, I believe, and have always said, not at all a small issue. This is a central issue in the
00:22:50.420
culture. Uh, but the pronoun piece of that, it's very, very important. That is a hill worth dying on.
00:23:00.560
And you don't even have to die because I've been fighting on that hill for a long time and I'm
00:23:05.080
still kicking, but that's a hill worth defending. Once you go along with that, it's over. And there
00:23:14.340
are more and more, again, more and more people on the right who, who even, you know, suppose right-wing
00:23:19.840
media publications, you see this more and more that start using the preferred pronouns in their
00:23:25.860
articles and that sort of thing. No, this, this is a matter of reality. I'm not going to go along
00:23:33.220
with a lie. I won't do it. I can't morally. I can't. That's the stance we all have to take.
00:23:42.380
It's not, it's not, you're not trying to hurt anyone's feelings. You're not being aggressive
00:23:48.440
about it. No, something is being demanded of you. You're not doing this. I'm not doing it.
00:23:56.940
I didn't choose to have this discussion. I'm, I'm going about my life, going about my day
00:24:02.460
using correct normal language. And now I'm being told that I have to use language that does not
00:24:12.800
signify what I'm actually trying to convey. So something is being asked of me that is unreasonable.
00:24:19.900
All I'm doing is saying, no, I can't go along with that unreasonable demand.
00:24:23.840
Number three, here's a big news. A man has just won a female beauty pageant and one step closer now
00:24:33.860
to being crowned Miss USA, which is also something that will happen. Here's a local news report about
00:24:39.380
this. Let's watch. It's the first for one major local beauty pageant. A transgender person is now
00:24:45.160
the reigning queen. Kim Passoff spoke with her and Kim, she won the Miss Silver State. That's the
00:24:50.440
biggest preliminary competition for the Miss Nevada USA pageant. Yeah, that's right, John.
00:24:55.920
Cataluna Enriquez, who is transgender, has won transgender pageants before and she's entered
00:25:01.580
cisgender competitions. But this is a monumental win. She will now compete for Miss Nevada USA,
00:25:08.340
the state pageant leading to Miss USA and Miss Universe, pageants that were once owned by Donald
00:25:14.540
Trump and two of the most coveted crowns in the pageant world. The Silver State USA is this Cataluna
00:25:22.940
Enriquez. Cataluna Enriquez loves almost everything about pageants, the glitz, the glamour, and now
00:25:37.480
From a pageant that not only welcomed her, but embraced her.
00:25:41.080
The Silver State competition was a great experience to me. It was honestly
00:25:45.620
a celebration of womanhood and diversity and this celebration of being your true self.
00:25:53.840
So there you go. Big achievement, we're told. A celebration of the true self, which is exactly
00:26:02.500
what it isn't. It's the opposite of that. And then you have the women who you see there,
00:26:09.020
they have to pretend not only is this title being taken away from a woman and given to
00:26:16.080
a male, but the women have to pretend to be excited about it. If you're a woman, it's not
00:26:23.600
enough. You can't merely go along with it. You have to be excited about it. A man takes
00:26:29.940
the beauty pageant crown and it'll happen this year or next year. We're very close to a man
00:26:35.940
being crowned Miss USA. All the major beauty pageants going to go to men. Men have already
00:26:42.600
won women of the year and all that kind of stuff. So that's going to happen. But if you're
00:26:45.800
a woman, you have to be excited about it. So they take that, they'll come into the locker
00:26:49.900
room, take all the athletic achievements. You can't only stand there and allow it to
00:26:59.540
happen. That's the first step. But the next step is you have to smile. You better have
00:27:03.040
a smile on your face and you better be applauding when all this is taken from you. That's the
00:27:08.440
message from the women supporting left. They care so deeply about women's rights. Of course.
00:27:16.160
The people that are demanding this of you as a woman, remember, the people demanding
00:27:18.980
this, they care deeply about you as a woman and your rights. They care so much about it.
00:27:24.680
All right. Number four from ET Online, it says, Angelina Jolie claims she has proof of alleged
00:27:30.200
domestic violence against Brad Pitt, new court records reveal, and new court documents that
00:27:34.620
were filed under seal on March 12th. The actress alleges that she's prepared to offer proof and
00:27:38.960
authority against Pitt regarding her claim of domestic violence during her upcoming divorce
00:27:44.080
trial. Why did I choose this story to read about Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt and their divorce
00:27:50.260
trial? I'm not sure why I chose that one. We're going to move on. Okay. Number five. Here's one
00:27:59.840
that I do care about. Alexi McCammon has stepped down. This is from Newsweek, has stepped down from her
00:28:05.200
newly appointed position as editor of Teen Vogue after several Conde Nast staff members complained about
00:28:11.860
offensive tweets that recently resurfaced. Love when those tweets resurface. Resurface always means
00:28:18.080
as if they bubbled up to the surface on their own, you know. No, someone went and dug for them and
00:28:24.780
brought them, brought them to the surface through a willful act. She was due to start as editor-in-chief
00:28:29.860
of Teen Vogue on March 24th. And now she has stepped down. Now these are tweets, Alexi McCammon's tweets
00:28:37.440
that are so offensive. These are tweets from 2011. And she was, how old was she? She was 17 years old
00:28:46.000
when she sent these tweets out in high school. And now as a 27, 28 year old woman, she's being punished
00:28:53.700
for that. She lost her job. Um, what were those tweets? So let's see in 2011, when she was 17,
00:29:00.560
McCammon, uh, McCammon tweeted, uh, first she tweeted out done by an Asian hashtag. What's new?
00:29:09.820
I guess she meant in school. So she was outdone by an Asian. I'm not exactly sure what that refers to.
00:29:13.960
And she also tweeted now Googling how to not wake up with swollen Asian eyes.
00:29:20.720
And then a third tweet that was so offensive when she sent it out at the age of 17, she has to be
00:29:25.940
fired for it. Third tweet said, give me a two out of 10 on my chem problem, cross out all of my work
00:29:32.140
and don't explain what I did wrong. Thanks a lot. Stupid Asian teaching assistant. You're great.
00:29:36.780
And then some of her old tweets used slurs for gay people as well. She's apologized for this multiple
00:29:42.880
times. Uh, they, they, they first quote unquote resurfaced in 2019. She apologized for them then.
00:29:49.940
Uh, and then when she was offered this job at teen Vogue, prestigious publication, she was forthright
00:29:57.860
about the fact that these tweets are out there and she apologized when applying apparently. Uh, and then
00:30:03.640
when they came out again, a couple of weeks ago, she once again, apologized. She's just been
00:30:08.120
apologizing nonstop for these basically innocuous tweets she sent when she was 17 and she still
00:30:17.320
gets fired for it. Now this is a very, this is, this is a difficult thing as a conservative when you
00:30:21.260
see this kind of story, because this is a, this is a, a leftist journalist, someone who's very much a
00:30:28.580
part of the cancel culture, someone who, you know, if this were happening to me, there's no way she
00:30:35.200
would come to my defense. If it were happening to you, Alexi McKinnon is, McKinnon is not coming to
00:30:42.020
your defense. She will be part of the pitchfork mob trying to destroy you. She's going to be part of
00:30:47.800
the cancel mob. She'll join in with them. So are you going to defend someone who doesn't defend you?
00:30:53.380
What's more when someone who is part of creating this mob has the mob turn around on them?
00:31:02.900
Are you going to step into the middle of it and say, no, not her.
00:31:07.560
When she's forced to take a dose of her own medicine, are you going to try to knock it out
00:31:10.900
of her hand to protect her? No, I mean, I'm not going to do that. I'm not going to waste my time
00:31:17.640
defending her for those reasons. Also for the reason that she apologized. It would
00:31:23.300
be more difficult for me to decide whether to defend her or not if she had not apologized.
00:31:28.620
But as you know, my policy is, I don't care if you're on the right or left.
00:31:32.360
If you're getting canceled for something and you apologize, there's nothing I can do for you. I
00:31:37.020
don't think there's anything anyone can do for you. There's nothing anyone else can do for you.
00:31:40.080
If you're not going to defend yourself and if you're going to admit guilt, basically,
00:31:47.060
and cave to the mob, then what, what, I'm not going to defend someone who isn't even going to
00:31:52.160
bother. I'm not going to put more effort into defending someone than they will put in defending
00:31:55.800
themselves. Unless we're talking about a child or some true innocent victim who's not capable of
00:32:02.080
defending themselves, but she is not a child. So many reasons why, why the not really worthy of
00:32:09.100
defense here. And yet, so we put that to the side. Um, but at the same time, we can acknowledge
00:32:16.920
that this is completely crazy. You know, 17 years old, 10 years ago is, is there anyone who would
00:32:27.760
dare step up to the plate and claim that when they were teenagers, they never said anything that
00:32:34.560
would be considered objectionable to people today, or even people back then when you were a teenager,
00:32:39.740
is there anyone who would dare? Now, if you, if you were lucky enough, if you were fortunate enough
00:32:47.440
to be a teenager before social media existed, or at least before it was as ubiquitous as it is now,
00:32:54.460
then thank your lucky stars for that. Thank God for that. I mean, really thank God for that.
00:33:00.400
But just because it wasn't documented, don't pretend that you never said it,
00:33:05.420
that you never said anything objectionable when you were a teenager.
00:33:10.940
Really in a, in a sane country, which we don't live in a sane country, but if we lived in a sane
00:33:14.640
country, we would, um, we would all agree that certainly anything you said, you get, you get a
00:33:21.840
free, as an adult, you get a free pass for pretty much anything you said as a teenager because you
00:33:26.820
were a teenager. And I would extend it further than that. I would say, I mean, really 25 and younger
00:33:34.300
your brain isn't even fully developed until you're 25. This is one of the reasons why I
00:33:40.220
think we should move the voting age and we should move a lot of these ages up to past 25 for that
00:33:44.380
reason. I mean, you're quite literally not all with it yet. Uh, you don't, you don't, you don't
00:33:50.760
have your full capacity to be the mature discerning adult that hopefully you, you eventually turned
00:33:55.880
into. And also as adults, like, you know, I think maybe we could even extend it further than that
00:34:01.540
and say, if you're in your twenties or thirties, um, 10 years ago, may, you may as well be a
00:34:11.380
lifetime. May as well have been a different person 10 years ago because you grow and change
00:34:18.380
and evolve so rapidly during that time. Now, like the difference between a 45 year old and
00:34:23.900
a 55 year old is not that great difference between 55 and 65, not that significant. The difference
00:34:29.660
between 35 and 25 is enormous, enormous, even more significant, probably than the difference
00:34:36.040
between 25 and 15. If, if you are a growing and maturing person, I mean, it should be an enormous
00:34:44.520
difference. So a sane country would recognize that, acknowledge that and say, look, this was so long
00:34:50.380
ago. This is a different person who cares. Really? Who cares? And, and in general, there should be a
00:34:58.740
statute of limitations. There should be a statute of limitation on taking offense at something. I
00:35:03.680
believe no matter the age of the person or how long ago it was, if someone said something and you
00:35:10.720
weren't bothered by it at the time when it was said, you don't get to circle back around a year later or
00:35:16.140
five years later or 10 years or 20 years later and say, you know what? Actually, I'm offended by that.
00:35:19.300
You don't get to do that. Now you could say, well, I wasn't aware of it when it was said originally.
00:35:25.360
Okay. Then no harm, no foul. You survived. This offensive thing was said. You didn't even know
00:35:30.540
about it. You were living your life totally unencumbered by it. That's even less reason for
00:35:37.760
you to take offense now. So those are all, those are all I think important points to make. And again,
00:35:44.100
in a sane country, that's how we would look at these things. With that said, as far as Alexi
00:35:50.020
McCann goes, she, she did bring this on herself by being a part of this mob. And now it turns on her
00:35:55.180
and she is a, she is a black woman. She is a left wing black woman. And even like a year ago,
00:36:02.500
that would have been enough to inoculate her from this, but that's not the case anymore.
00:36:08.340
Nobody is safe now. Nobody is safe. And people like Lexi McCann, they're part of the reason why
00:36:14.280
nobody is safe. Okay. Let's go now to reading the YouTube comments. We've got a couple here. Dr.
00:36:19.100
Jones. I don't know if he's a real doctor says, Matt, I'm not sure if you'd know this, but I think
00:36:22.540
Ben used your set for a show today. Just letting you know, because I feel like that's something that
00:36:26.760
would annoy you. Hashtag justice for Matt. Well, I will say, uh, you know, yes, yes. How dare Ben use my
00:36:33.000
I know that he used it. Didn't ask my permission. So how dare he, I could almost tolerate it. If not
00:36:39.180
for the fact that, um, when I sat down for my, I don't know if you noticed this, I don't even know
00:36:43.400
if you could see it on my desk anymore, but I have my fake daily wire family, my two, my two pictures
00:36:49.120
of the, the, the daily, my assigned friends and family from the daily wire that was put on my desk
00:36:53.220
when I first started here. But when I sat down, this picture was gone. And this is the picture of
00:36:57.400
the guy and a girl on a tandem bicycle. And it's a very important picture to me. And when I sat down,
00:37:04.200
it was, it was nowhere to be found. I guess Ben found that this photograph of my assigned friends
00:37:10.880
so offensive that he put it somewhere. It disappeared. And, but now it has reappeared.
00:37:17.140
So, uh, Cameron says totally agree with not using abbreviations. The other day, my coworker said WTF,
00:37:23.520
at which I told him that if he just said the actual words, it would be less syllables,
00:37:27.780
which he had not considered. Yeah. It's bad enough when people abbreviate things by putting in the E
00:37:33.160
sound at the end, as we've talked about using internet abbreviations is really reprehensible.
00:37:40.360
Now I will, I don't know why I'm confessing this, but I believe in full transparency and I'm an honest
00:37:44.780
person. I did a few days ago, find myself actually saying to someone in conversation, BTW. And I,
00:37:51.920
and I, I hated my, it came out of my mouth. I don't know how it came out. And I said it and I
00:37:57.060
immediately hated myself. I would, if there was a window, I would have jumped out of it. Um,
00:38:01.900
like a, like a, to, to preserve my own honor. So I'll admit that, but even so everyone else who does
00:38:11.780
it deserves to be canceled. Um, dog faced pony soldier says, Matt, who do you feel is a worse
00:38:20.500
person? Cardi B or Megan Markle? That's a good question. I don't think there's any way to rank
00:38:26.120
them. That's, that's impossible. That really is splitting hairs. And finally, egg sandwich. Now
00:38:31.920
there's a great name says cat should be inside Matt. Well, you see this, this, this is really
00:38:39.420
why punctuation is so important. Uh, so important because I think what they're saying is cat should
00:38:43.920
be inside comma Matt addressing me, but there's no comma. So instead it says cat should be inside Matt.
00:38:54.080
And I have no further comment on, on that whatsoever. Aside from remember your commas,
00:38:58.260
people. Listen, you spend a lot of time on the internet. We all do. It just makes no sense for
00:39:03.660
you not to secure yourself. Why, why, what are you doing? What kind of choices are you making with
00:39:09.180
your life? You gotta, you gotta make sure you're protecting yourself, uh, and offering yourself
00:39:12.820
some protection from those bad actors out there. Especially now the IRS issued an urgent warning
00:39:16.800
about a new scam to steal the electronic filing identification numbers from tax professionals over
00:39:22.120
email. Cyber criminals can use this information to file fraudulent tax returns.
00:39:26.080
Tech professionals should be aware of the latest phishing scam, but individuals should also take
00:39:30.600
steps to protect themselves. Tax season is stressful enough. You don't want to add identity
00:39:34.340
theft on top of it. It's important to understand how cyber criminals and cyber crime and identity
00:39:38.140
theft are affecting our lives. Every day we put ourselves and our information at risk on the
00:39:41.820
internet. In an instant, a cyber criminal could harm what's yours, your finances, your credit,
00:39:46.480
so many other things. Good thing there's LifeLock. LifeLock helps detect a wide range of identity
00:39:51.140

00:40:23.720
Wire on election night, the one and only Candace Owens is joining our team finally with her new
00:40:27.860
show, Candace. You may have heard of Candace when she slammed Harry Styles on Twitter for wearing a
00:40:32.660
dress by saying, bring back manly men. You may have heard of her through Kanye West when he said
00:40:37.840
that he likes the way she thinks or heard of her recently with the stuff with Cardi B. She's always
00:40:43.300
got everyone talking. And every week, Candace is going to keep that going. She's going to talk

00:41:13.300
Today, we're going to cancel the women's NCAA March Madness tournament. Now, I know what
00:41:20.860
you're thinking. There's a women's March Madness tournament? Yes, I had the exact same thought
00:41:25.960
when I was made aware of the sexism controversy surrounding the women's tournament and the
00:41:29.760
accommodations that the female athletes are receiving in comparison to the men. So here's
00:41:33.860
the USA Today. Here's USA Today with news on the controversy. It says the NCAA acknowledges
00:41:38.160
the discrepancy in amenities between the men's and women's basketball tournament on Thursday
00:41:42.040
after images posted to social media drew significant backlash. Pictures surfaced Thursday
00:41:45.440
showing the stark differences in gifts that were presented to women's basketball players compared
00:41:49.520
to men's. Stanford sports performance coach Allie Kirshner posted photos of the facilities inside
00:41:54.480
the Indianapolis bubble compared to the San Antonio bubble. WNBA star Sabrina Iunsku, a big,
00:42:02.080
big fan of hers, last year's national player of the year in NCAA women's basketball, fumed over a
00:42:08.560
poor display in the weight room, tweeting, quote, women's NCAA bubble weight room versus men's
00:42:13.600
weight room. Thought this was a joke. WTF? What is this? To all the women playing in the March Madness
00:42:19.620
tournament, keep grinding. The picture showed the plentiful options in an Indianapolis weight room
00:42:25.820
compared to a small rack of dumbbells in San Antonio. Aja Wilson, who plays for the Las Vegas Aces in
00:42:32.180
the WNBA, another player that I am not only aware of, but a huge fan of, tweeted, the weight room
00:42:39.300
situation is beyond disrespectful. Then Sedona Price, who plays for Oregon, posted a TikTok calling out
00:42:45.800
the disparity between amenities, writing in her caption, it's 2021 and we are still fighting for
00:42:49.700
bits and pieces of equality. Okay, now the NCAA, there we go, has apologized and pledged to fix the
00:42:59.080
problem. But to give you the visual, if you're watching on the Daily Wire YouTube right now,
00:43:03.000
here is Sedona Price with her TikTok video complaining about this discrepancy in the way
00:43:08.280
that the men and women are being treated. Let's watch it. I got something to show y'all. So for the
00:43:13.360
NCAA March Madness, the biggest tournament in college basketball for women, this is our weight room.
00:43:29.260
Now when pictures of our weight room got released versus the men's, the NCAA came out with a statement
00:43:33.540
saying that it wasn't money, it was space that was a problem. Let me show y'all something else.
00:43:38.120
Here's our practice court, right? And then here's that weight room, and then here's all this extra
00:43:44.800
space. If you aren't upset about this problem, then you're a part of it. Well, then I guess I'm a part
00:43:50.800
of it. Because I'm not that upset, I have to say. It's not on my top 20 list of concerns in my life
00:43:57.020
right now, is that the women NCAA players don't have enough weights in the weight room. See, it's one
00:44:07.720
thing if you simply asked for better equipment. You know, that's fair. I won't begrudge you that.
00:44:11.920
I have to admit, the first time I saw that video, and I'll admit this myself, the first time I saw
00:44:17.460
that video, and I saw the women's weight room set, I did burst out laughing hysterically. I can't help
00:44:24.660
it. Don't blame me. The problem is that it's just extremely funny to me. But I can understand why the
00:44:29.480
ladies might want a bit more to work with than a rack of five-pound dumbbells. At least get some 10-pounders
00:44:34.740
on there, for God's sake, and a couple of yoga mats. The problem, though, is when you lecture me that I
00:44:41.180
need to be upset about women basketball players not having all the exercise equipment they want, and you
00:44:46.240
tell me that I'm a part of some greater societal problem, and you demand equality. See, that's where the
00:44:50.900
problem comes in. And I'll tell you why that's a problem. There is no equality between men's and women's
00:44:56.320
sports, especially men's and women's basketball. The equality doesn't exist. Any effort to make them equal or to
00:45:03.040
treat them equally is absurd. Here's a simple fact. The men's NCAA tournament generates billions and
00:45:11.380
billions of dollars. The women's tournament, according to the Wall Street Journal, doesn't
00:45:16.160
turn a profit. It loses money. So you have on one hand a sport that makes billions, on the other a sport
00:45:23.140
that makes nothing, actually earns negative. It has to be propped up, kept afloat, put on artificial life
00:45:29.220
support. Men's basketball keeps women's basketball in existence. The very existence of women's
00:45:36.280
basketball is a favor that men's basketball is doing for it, because it can't survive on its own.
00:45:44.020
Again, that's just a fact. To give you one isolated example, Ohio State, the men's program earns over
00:45:50.540
10 times as much revenue from ticket sales as the women. And that's only ticket sales, 10 times as much.
00:45:56.720
Now, why is that? Why does men's basketball, both on the collegiate and professional level,
00:46:03.320
completely trounce women's basketball in revenue? Well, because nobody cares about women's
00:46:08.560
basketball. Nobody watches it. Nobody goes to the games. Almost nobody anyway. And what this means is
00:46:14.580
that the vast majority of the people pretending to be upset about the unequal treatment of female
00:46:19.880
athletes also themselves do not watch the women's games or have any real interest in them. So they're
00:46:25.940
standing off to the side basically saying, yeah, you know, I don't give a damn about this. I think
00:46:29.880
it's boring as hell. But sure, yeah, it's an outrage if this thing I don't care about and that
00:46:34.280
nobody else seems to care about isn't treated the same as the thing I do care about that everybody
00:46:38.000
else cares about. It's absurd. See, I would have a lot more respect for Sedona here if she had said,
00:46:43.680
listen, I know we aren't as important as the men's side, and I know that the men are keeping us in
00:46:48.220
business. And I really appreciate that, by the way. Thanks, guys, for allowing us to exist as a team,
00:46:53.800
because we wouldn't if not for you. But we'd still really appreciate some better accommodations.
00:46:58.740
I'd respect that. I'd be on her side. But instead, we get lectures and speeches about equality.
00:47:05.020
And when you come at me like that, it's a nonstarter. Any discussion of equality is a
00:47:09.700
nonstarter. Men's and women's sports are not equal, will never be equal, and should not be treated as
00:47:14.280
equal. And the thing is, you might be mad. You might want to be mad at me for saying that,
00:47:18.440
but you can't really be mad because you're not watching it either. So yeah, you're part of the
00:47:23.940
problem. With all that said, I support women's sports. I want women's sports to continue to exist.
00:47:31.020
And the greatest existential threat to the continued existence of women's sports is not a lack of
00:47:36.260
workout equipment. It is rather, of course, the intrusion of males into those leagues. That's why
00:47:41.980
I'm fighting to keep males out. Anyone who is not fighting for that or is instead actively fighting
00:47:47.160
to get men into these sports, can't pretend to be upset about unequal accommodations.
00:47:52.580
When you get your way, women's sports won't exist at all. That's the real threat.
00:47:58.860
And it stems from the same confusion that leads people to be upset about girl basketball players
00:48:02.880
not being treated the same as guy basketball players. The confusion is in the belief that men
00:48:07.460
and women are the same, interchangeable, not different in any significant or fundamental way.
00:48:11.800
But they are different. They are not the same. They are not equal, as equal means same.
00:48:18.200
And that's why the women's basketball tournament isn't owed the same treatment or the same accommodations.
00:48:24.300
But it's also why women athletes are owed the basic protection of keeping men out of their sports.
00:48:29.500
And that's how this all breaks down. And those who don't understand that are canceled.
00:48:36.840
I guess I also said at the top that the whole women's tournament is canceled.
00:48:40.200
That may be a bit harsh on second thought, you know, also kind of redundant. Nobody's watching it anyway.
00:48:45.640
And far be it for me to cancel something that I just learned existed five seconds ago.
00:48:51.600
So instead, we'll keep the cancellation more broad than that.
00:48:54.360
That's another favor that I will do for the ladies. You're welcome.
00:48:57.020
And we'll leave it there for the day and the week.
00:49:01.940
Hope you guys have a great weekend. We'll talk to you next week. Godspeed.
