The Matt Walsh Show - Ep. 682 - Pedophiles Running Drag Queen Story Hour, And Other Unsurprising Revelations

00:00:00.000 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 0.96

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 0.98

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. 0.88

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 0.99

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, 0.96

00:03:52.320 but their behavior raises serious questions nonetheless. Behavior such as the drag queen 1.00

00:03:57.540 who goes by the name Sasha Soda and who wore a miniskirt which exposed his crotch as he read to 0.93

00:04:03.660 children. Or behavior like the drag queen at a different story hour who laid on the floor and 0.94

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. 0.51

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

00:04:53.400 twerking.

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 1.00

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 1.00

00:06:06.540 hours are and have always been a transparent, in-your-face effort to groom and sexualize 0.98

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 0.81

00:06:39.320 essentially. That's what it is. If it was a female burlesque performer, all dolled up, hired to come 1.00

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, 1.00

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 0.98

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 1.00

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 0.78

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 0.97

00:11:39.380 arms. But this guy was defying his own COVID restrictions to go to the gym. Like everyone 0.81

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 0.98

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 0.99

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 0.99

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. 1.00

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 0.96

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 0.97

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

00:25:33.400 her new crown.

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, 0.99

00:26:09.020 they have to pretend not only is this title being taken away from a woman and given to 0.88

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 1.00

00:26:23.600 enough. You can't merely go along with it. You have to be excited about it. A man takes 1.00

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 1.00

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 0.69

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. 1.00

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. 1.00

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 0.99

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 0.99

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, 0.96

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

00:41:13.300 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, 0.97

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 1.00

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 1.00

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.

00:43:19.420 Let me show y'all the men's weight room. 1.00

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 1.00

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 0.94

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 1.00

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 1.00

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 1.00

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 0.96

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. 1.00

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 1.00

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 1.00

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. 1.00

00:47:58.860 And it stems from the same confusion that leads people to be upset about girl basketball players 0.96

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. 0.99

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. 1.00

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. 0.98

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.

00:49:27.020 Thanks for listening.
