Today on the Matt Wall Show, an NBC news anchor says on the air that he doesn't care about being
00:00:04.660
fair or hearing both sides. I actually agree with him on that point, and I feel much the same way,
00:00:09.440
and I'll explain why. Also, five headlines, including CNN's claim that there is no way to
00:00:13.780
determine, no way at all, the sex of a baby at birth, and a school district took Thomas Jefferson's
00:00:18.340
name off of one of their schools, but they're having trouble finding a new name. Apparently,
00:00:21.920
everyone in history, even very recent history, is problematic. Who knew? Plus, Joe Biden
00:00:26.580
butchers the Spanish language while standing in front of a very Nazi-esque flag, and our daily
00:00:31.660
cancellation, the woke mob, finally comes for the office. We knew it was going to happen.
00:00:36.820
Now's the time. We'll deal with that today and much more on the Matt Wall Show.
00:00:47.100
Now, I've always been clear that I don't care about tolerance, fairness, diversity, equality.
00:00:53.180
Well, don't care is the wrong way of putting it. I should say that I actively oppose those things,
00:00:58.380
oppose them and how they're interpreted and applied in modern society. Tolerance can be fine,
00:01:03.580
but it depends on what you're tolerating. There are intolerable things, many intolerable things,
00:01:09.380
which should not be tolerated. There are also intolerable people, and quite a few of them
00:01:13.800
walking around. Now, even if you are tolerating a tolerable thing, you don't deserve credit for it.
00:01:19.640
There's no courage involved in simply tolerating something. I can tolerate stuff from my couch.
00:01:25.260
I can lay on my couch and tolerate everything. I can tolerate many things while sitting at the beach.
00:01:31.020
As long as I'm not actively opposing something or someone, then I'm tolerating it by definition.
00:01:37.660
Why should I get credit for that? If I call myself a tolerant person, all I'm saying is that I don't
00:01:43.980
actively oppose very many things. Another term for that is pushover. See also weak, cowardly, lazy.
00:01:52.460
Diversity can also be fine, but again, it depends entirely on the context.
00:01:56.460
What sort of diversity are we talking about? And is this diversity for its own sake?
00:02:01.980
Diversity for its own sake, that is diversity that's achieved by ignoring things like merit and skill,
00:02:07.480
is bad. Diversity that happens as an accidental byproduct of prioritizing merit and skill is fine.
00:02:14.340
If you, for example, end up with a racially diverse fire department because you've hired people based on
00:02:20.820
racial quotas without respect to their ability to actually do the job, then you've done a very bad
00:02:26.500
thing, and people will probably die because of you. If you end up with a racially diverse fire department
00:02:31.660
because you hired the best people, and it just so happens that the best people came in an eclectic mix
00:02:36.900
of races, ethnicities, and sexual orientations, then you've done a fine thing. I mean, it's fine.
00:02:43.100
Though personally, I don't much care if the fire department is all black or all white or
00:02:47.520
comprised completely of transgender Polynesians, so long as they're all the best applicants based
00:02:53.880
on merit and skill, and we'll do the best job of saving the old lady from the burning house.
00:02:58.700
That's all that matters. What about equality? Equality under the law is very good, though more of a
00:03:04.540
theory than a reality in this country. Some people are above the law, even though they shouldn't be,
00:03:10.280
as we've seen BLM rioters, for instance. Spiritual equality, that is the recognition that we are all
00:03:17.740
humans made in the image of God, is also good. But equality in any other sense is bad. That's because
00:03:25.760
equality doesn't exist in any other context, and so it must be created artificially. My neighbor and I
00:03:33.620
both are supposed to be equally subject to the law. We both were created by God, but other than that,
00:03:40.460
we're different, not equal, not the same. One of us is smarter, better looking, more virtuous,
00:03:47.660
more talented, etc., and so on. These differences should be acknowledged, and they should lead to
00:03:53.080
different outcomes. If they're not acknowledged, and we're forced to have the same outcome in spite of
00:03:57.860
them, then we're being stuffed into an artificial box, and our individuality, and thus our humanity,
00:04:02.820
equality is being denied. This is bad, which is why equality is bad most of the time. That brings us
00:04:09.440
to fairness. Fairness, again, has a limited positive application. There are situations where fairness
00:04:16.540
must be emphasized, such as in a courtroom. It is unfair to make Derek Chauvin stand trial in
00:04:24.020
Minneapolis after the city has already admitted guilt by settling a lawsuit with George Floyd's
00:04:28.420
family. That's unfair. That's bad. But outside of the courtroom and a few other contexts, attempts
00:04:33.780
to be fair tend to lead, ironically, to even more unfairness. And this is all a very long way of
00:04:39.640
saying that I agree partially with NBC News anchor Lester Holt, who turned some heads this week when he
00:04:45.740
gave a little soliloquy on air where he spoke out against fairness. Here's what he said.
00:04:52.740
The unprecedented attacks on the press in this period, I'm sure, will fill plenty of books and
00:04:58.240
be studied in classrooms, maybe even here. But I have a few early observations I'll share about
00:05:04.280
where this moment brings us and what we can learn. Number one is, I think it's become clearer that
00:05:11.180
fairness is overrated. Well, before you run off and tweet that headline, let me explain a bit.
00:05:17.340
The idea that we should always give two sides equal weight and merit does not reflect the world we
00:05:23.420
find ourselves in. That the sun sets in the West is a fact. Any contrary view does not deserve our
00:05:30.800
time or attention. I know recent events assure that you won't have to look far to find more current and
00:05:36.400
relevant examples. I think you get my point. Decisions to not give unsupported arguments equal time
00:05:42.680
are not a dereliction of journalistic responsibility or some kind of agenda. In fact,
00:05:48.300
it's just the opposite. Providing an open platform for misinformation, for anyone to come say whatever
00:05:53.740
they want, especially when issues of public health and safety are at stake, can be quite dangerous.
00:05:59.840
Our duty is to be fair to the truth. Holding those in power accountable is at the core of our function
00:06:06.840
and responsibility. We need to hear our leaders' views, their policies and reasoning. It's really
00:06:12.900
important, but we have to stand ready to push back and call out falsehoods.
00:06:18.040
Now, he's sustained plenty of criticism from the right for saying this, but I agree with the general
00:06:23.040
point he's making. I don't agree with the way that he will apply and is applying and has applied,
00:06:29.340
along with all the rest of the left-wing media, this idea. You know, when he talks about
00:06:33.540
not giving equal fair time to unsupported, ridiculous ideas and claims, what he means,
00:06:40.080
obviously, is that he doesn't think he should give fair time to any idea or claim that originates
00:06:43.800
from anyone on the right. That's what he's saying without saying it. What he's doing here is giving
00:06:49.020
himself and his profession an excuse to be dishonestly biased against conservatives. Obviously,
00:06:54.820
that's his point, and I'm well aware of that. However, the basic idea is correct. Not all ideas and
00:07:02.620
thoughts and opinions and claims should be given equal weight. Not all should be respected or
00:07:09.060
listened to. You have a right to your opinion, but you don't have a right to have your opinion
00:07:13.060
taken seriously. If it's a really stupid, bad opinion, I don't have to take it seriously.
00:07:18.320
I don't have to sit down and contemplate it. Hmm, let me think about this. There are some opinions
00:07:23.900
where I can hear it and say, that's dumb. That's it. I'm not even going to, that's all I have to say
00:07:27.380
about it. I'm not going to consider it further than that. This is one of the problems I have
00:07:33.080
with conservatives who, when discussing diversity, will say, well, we need diversity of thought.
00:07:40.460
That's what we need. Well, sort of, but not really. I think society should be open to and kids in
00:07:47.960
school should be exposed to a wide array of intelligent, worthwhile, and defensible ideas and
00:07:53.320
opinions. But some ideas should be ignored. Excluded. Yes, excluded. Because they have no worth.
00:08:01.420
Because they're delusional and wrong. And by treating them with respect, by being fair to them,
00:08:08.060
we give the impression that there may be some merit to these ideas when there is no merit.
00:08:13.900
For example, the idea that a five-year-old male child may actually be a girl if he says he is.
00:08:19.940
That he might have a little girl trapped inside him. And so he should be dressed up like one and
00:08:25.180
referred to as one. It's one of those ideas, has no merit. Lester Holt was not referring to this
00:08:31.060
insanity when he said that some claims are unsupported. But this is nonetheless the best
00:08:35.180
example to prove the point. The claims made by left-wing gender theorists are wholly worthless,
00:08:41.220
without value, without merit. They should not be respected. We should not give equal weight to the
00:08:48.020
idea that a boy with a penis is really a girl. We should not treat it like a claim that's just as
00:08:53.500
valid and plausible as the claim that a boy with a penis is a boy. We don't need diversity of thought.
00:09:01.480
Well, we need to embrace both thoughts. You know, you could have a penis and be a boy or a girl and
00:09:06.160
we need the diversity of these. No, we don't. Kids in school should not be taught that there are two
00:09:12.860
equal and valid theories on this subject. They should be taught the facts of biological sex and
00:09:17.620
informed that any opposing ideas are simply false and should be ignored. Of course, what's actually
00:09:23.140
happening is the opposite. They're taught that boys can have vaginas and get pregnant and that any
00:09:27.760
contrary opinion to that is false and should be ignored. The left, as Lester Holt just explained,
00:09:33.380
is not worried about being fair to our viewpoints. They're not willing to hear them out. Even when our
00:09:40.540
viewpoint is the viewpoint of basic biological science. Now, for too long, the right, in an
00:09:46.120
effort to seem open-minded, has responded to this intellectual intolerance from the left by saying,
00:09:52.420
but we just want all ideas to be heard. We want all opinions and viewpoints to be given an equal
00:09:57.120
hearing. It's not what I want. I'll tell you right now, that is not what I want. As Lester Holt said
00:10:03.880
himself, you know, it's about the truth, except that he doesn't really care about the truth. I do.
00:10:09.860
What I want is the truth. I want the truth to be heard and known and respected. I want a society
00:10:15.760
based around truth, grounded in a respect for and an acknowledgement of and an understanding of
00:10:22.500
truth. I don't want to give untruth an equal platform. I don't want to give it equal space on the
00:10:28.640
stage. I don't want to respect it. I don't respect it. We should not be fair to lies and deceptions and
00:10:37.520
delusions. We shouldn't give them our respect. We should attack them head on, destroy them.
00:10:46.560
We should be unfair to them and intolerant of them. Because again, as was said, the only thing that
00:10:54.840
really matters is the truth. Now let's get to our five headlines.
00:11:05.740
Before we get to five headlines today, I got to tell you about our good friends over at
00:11:09.360
constitutioncoach.com. You know, as we've been talking about many conservatives, all conservatives
00:11:14.420
really say they love the constitution. They love our liberties and freedoms. It's so important to
00:11:19.320
defend them and all of that. But how many of us actually stand ready to defend them? How many of
00:11:23.160
us really understand these issues that well? My friends over at constitutioncoach.com have a lot
00:11:28.560
of great programs for equipping citizens to defend liberty by studying and living out the constitution.
00:11:33.560
I have experienced this myself at their constitutional defense course, which by the way, you take over at
00:11:39.520
the premier firearms training facility in the nation in Nevada. And it's just a place that you have to see
00:11:45.940
for yourself. It's experience you have to have for yourself. You get live classes with Rick Green,
00:11:51.220
America's constitution coach, and you also get the physical training as well. You get to join hundreds
00:11:55.160
of other patriots from across the nation for a time of learning, training, and fellowship with
00:11:58.980
like-minded people. The fellowship part of this is really important as well, because we're not alone.
00:12:02.880
There are other people. There are other sane people in the world too, although it may not always
00:12:07.160
seem that way. Whether you have shotguns your whole life or you're a beginner, wherever you are,
00:12:11.160
I'm telling you, they're going to bring you to a whole new skill level. That's what they did for me.
00:12:14.080
So Rick and the constitution coach team have another class on April 25th, but it'll fill up fast.
00:12:18.580
So visit constitutioncoach.com today. You can watch my video there to find out more about how you can
00:12:23.840
be a part of this one of a kind training. That's constitutioncoach.com. All right. Well, you know,
00:12:29.940
the tooth fairy saga continues, by the way, speaking of, I just said the truth matters. Well, here's an
00:12:34.240
example of not telling the truth. I was saying yesterday, my daughter is very smart, critical
00:12:39.040
thinker, and which I'm proud of her for that, but she's starting to figure the tooth fairy thing out.
00:12:44.960
And yesterday, you know, I went into her room before I left in the morning and she told me
00:12:50.100
that she'd lost her tooth. And, um, and she didn't tell us the night before that she lost it because
00:12:55.400
she wanted, she was running a test to see if the tooth fairy would still come, even if she doesn't
00:12:59.360
tell mom and dad. And of course the tooth fairy didn't come. What a coincidence because she didn't
00:13:02.380
tell us. And, uh, and then, so the problem is that my, my wife, she, she really wants to,
00:13:09.520
she, she realizes that it's a house of cards. And if you lose the tooth fairy and the Easter bunny,
00:13:13.360
then you lose Santa Claus. And she really wants to hang on to Santa Claus for the kids for one more
00:13:17.340
Christmas. It's really, you know, she, she just wants one more Christmas out of it, which means
00:13:20.620
we got to keep the tooth fairy going. And this is becoming difficult because last night, my daughter,
00:13:26.980
I'm not making this up. This is, she came up with this on her own because she's really trying to
00:13:31.980
figure this out. And so she came up with a plan last night where she, um, first of all,
00:13:38.640
she had the tooth under the pillow, of course, and she, uh, put out some food for the tooth fairy.
00:13:44.000
I don't know. That's not usually part of the tooth fairy deal. The tooth fairy doesn't usually eat.
00:13:48.460
Um, but so she put out so like a little bowl of water and I think some peanuts, maybe the tooth
00:13:53.000
fairy eats peanuts. You know, why not? Everyone likes peanuts. And then she put out some, um,
00:13:57.740
some baking soda around the dish so that she could get the footprints of the tooth fairy.
00:14:03.340
Like really the tooth fairy is probably, probably flying, but still. And then she also said, yeah,
00:14:10.260
she asked if we, she could use one of our phones and put up, like put a camera there so she could
00:14:15.840
capture the tooth fairy coming in. And this was this whole plan she concocted. And my wife told her,
00:14:23.020
yes, you could, let's do all that. And of course I'm saying to my wife, what are you, what's your plan
00:14:27.360
here with the camera part of this? How are you going to make that? Apparently there's an app for the,
00:14:32.700
there is an app for this exact situation where, where a little girl is trying to figure out the
00:14:38.860
tooth fairy is real. And, um, anyway, there's an app where you can have like a tooth fairy come in
00:14:43.900
and show it to the kid. So, um, we got her. She's, we, we fooled her for another, another few months.
00:14:51.580
Yay us. I'm so proud of us. Um, all right. So we begin with an article on CNN.com
00:14:59.240
about Kristi Noem, who has signed some executive orders dealing with the boys in girl sports issue,
00:15:06.040
but she still refuses to sign legislation, but instead she's, she's doing executive orders.
00:15:11.540
The article talks about that, but then it gets to the kicker. Um, we'll read here. It says South
00:15:17.980
Dakota's Republican governor, Kristi Noem banned transgender girls and women from competing on
00:15:23.440
women's sports teams at public high schools and colleges via a pair of executive orders
00:15:27.820
issued on Monday. Of course, what, what she actually banned was boys playing in girls teams.
00:15:34.460
Um, the move came after Noem angered conservatives by killing a bill that would have created a similar
00:15:39.980
prohibition and a news release explaining her veto at the time. Noem cited her concern that the bill
00:15:45.240
would take the state's colleges and universities out of compliance with national rules. So we know
00:15:48.480
about that. She's worried that, uh, the, the NAACP would, would punish the state of South Dakota,
00:15:55.740
that the NAACP would get really mad and punish them. If, uh, if she tried to put this, if this
00:16:03.340
ban was put in place and it applied to colleges and she didn't want to make the NAACP mad and get
00:16:08.340
punished by them or rather the NCAA, I should say, she doesn't want to get, she doesn't want to make
00:16:14.100
them mad and get punished by them. So, um, she decided to do the executive orders instead. Now
00:16:19.160
here we get to the kicker. It says though the two executive orders signed by Noem do not explicitly
00:16:24.100
mention transgender athletes. They referenced the supposed harms of the participation of quote
00:16:29.160
males in women's athletics. And they put quotes around males. Yeah. Quote unquote males. But we don't
00:16:36.040
need the quotes there that we are talking about actual males. It says an echo of the transphobic
00:16:41.160
claims cited in other similar legislative initiatives that transgender women are not women.
00:16:47.400
The orders also referenced biological sex, a disputed term that refers to the sex as listed
00:16:54.220
on students' original birth certificates. And then here we go here. It's not possible to know a person's
00:17:00.820
gender identity at birth. And there is no consensus criteria for assigning sex at birth.
00:17:07.040
There is no consensus criteria for assigning sex at birth. Now you're the first part of that sentence
00:17:16.720
is right. That there is no way to know a baby's gender identity because that's a made up concept.
00:17:26.340
Gender identity doesn't exist. Kids have to be indoctrinated into believing in this thing called
00:17:32.700
gender identity. Babies haven't been indoctrinated yet. So for them, gender identity doesn't exist.
00:17:37.620
That's true. The rest of it, though, is where we go wildly off the rails.
00:17:43.380
There's no consensus. I mean, think about the claim here. Okay. Think about the claim. This is in
00:17:49.720
a news article. This is not an editorial. A CNN news article saying there's no consensus for
00:17:57.680
criteria for figuring out the sex of a child. They're not just saying that technically we can't
00:18:05.660
really know the sex. Now, that would be totally wrong also. They're claiming that there's no
00:18:10.780
consensus criteria. Yes, there is. So this is wrong, horribly, ridiculously wrong on two levels.
00:18:19.440
Not only can we obviously tell the sex of a child, most of the time, all you got to do is look between
00:18:26.140
the legs. But there is clearly a consensus criteria. Every childbirth that happens on earth,
00:18:36.640
everywhere. And it has been this case since the beginning of, of, of humanity. The criteria has
00:18:44.180
been, let's look at the, at the, um, let's look at the reproductive organs on the child.
00:18:51.640
That's, that's been the criteria. And that's what hospitals do. I have been, uh, been there for the,
00:18:59.900
the births of four children. That's, that's the way it goes. So even if you want to claim that we
00:19:08.700
can't know the sex or that the sex of a child is fluid, again, all that obviously totally wrong,
00:19:15.100
you would have to, you would think, at least admit that there is right now a consensus criteria.
00:19:20.560
If you want to say that that criteria doesn't work or whatever, then, then fine, make that case.
00:19:27.560
But to deny that the criteria even exists at all.
00:19:30.480
Well, this is what we get from the left. Obviously they can, they will just simply wave
00:19:37.700
their hand and say that that truth, that this isn't happening. You thought that that was happening.
00:19:46.600
You thought that in every hospital in the world, when a baby is born, they look between the legs
00:19:50.480
and decide and figure out what the sex is. They don't assign it by the way. There's no assignment
00:19:55.580
happening. The doctor isn't looking and saying, okay, this one's going to be a boy.
00:20:00.480
And then you just, just stamp the word boy on its head. That's not the way it works.
00:20:07.640
But they are, but that is what, how they're determining it. And the left says, no, that's
00:20:10.880
not, that's not happening. What you think you're saying, you're not seeing.
00:20:17.700
Oh, but these are the pro-science people. Remember that. These are, these are the people who feel
00:20:22.280
entitled, feel like they're in a position where they can accuse other people of being anti-science.
00:20:27.260
Right. Um, okay. Number two is from TMZ. It says Deshaun Watson's attorney says 18 professional,
00:20:38.220
he's the quarterback for the Houston Texans involved in a, in a, there's, there's many, um,
00:20:43.860
sexual assault accusations coming out against them, a lot of lawsuits. And so here's, here it
00:20:47.380
says Deshaun Watson's attorney says 18 professional female massage therapists are going to bat for the
00:20:53.080
QB saying they had nothing but positive experiences with him over the years. Um,
00:20:59.000
Rusty Hardin says the women all worked with the Houston, Texas QB at some point over the past five
00:21:04.020
years, completing more than 130 sessions without any sort of incident. Hardin issued a statement
00:21:09.980
saying these women say they are deeply troubled by the accusations made against Deshaun and that
00:21:14.740
these claims are wholly inconsistent with their experiences with him and who they believe him to be.
00:21:18.720
All of them stated that Deshaun never made them feel uncomfortable or demanded anything outside the
00:21:23.180
scope of a professional massage. Okay. So we've got other female massage therapists coming out and
00:21:30.480
saying, Oh, well, he didn't sexually assault me. And that's supposed to, I guess, cancel out the
00:21:37.600
dozens of female massage therapists who said that they were sexually assaulted. Now already, I would
00:21:43.640
think that this defense raised there's, there's a problem here with this defense. Um, the first
00:21:48.760
problem obviously is, well, just because he didn't sexually assault those women doesn't mean he didn't
00:21:52.380
do it to these others, but also how many female massage therapists does one guy need? So if you've
00:21:59.280
got the 18 who are coming out and saying he didn't assault me and then you've got, I don't know what
00:22:03.180
we're up to. We're up to like over 20 who are making claims that he did assault them. So what is that?
00:22:08.220
Like 40, this guy's had 40 female massage therapists in the last five years, 40 different
00:22:15.100
ones. It's not just, he's had 40 massages. Okay. I understand if you're a professional athlete,
00:22:19.740
maybe you get a lot of massages because of all the, you know, the damage being done to your muscles,
00:22:23.840
but you need a different massage therapist. You have to keep finding different ones, 40 of them.
00:22:32.320
Um, yeah, it sounds to me at a minimum, this is a guy with some issues
00:22:35.440
and then you consider 20 accusations doesn't mean just because there are so many accusations
00:22:42.500
doesn't make it true. And again, I'm the, I'm the, I'm, I, you know, I'm not, I'm the last guy
00:22:49.260
to immediately assume that someone is guilty just because a claim is being made, you know, but
00:22:55.520
you do have to, it's sometimes it's a, it's a, just a matter of probability and looking at the
00:23:00.120
numbers, either 20 women are all lying individually or this one guy is lying. What's
00:23:06.180
more likely? You add in the text messages allegedly from him that have been produced,
00:23:11.800
actual, actual evidence, pretty rare that you have physical evidence presented in, in these kinds of
00:23:17.300
cases. It's a pretty compelling case being made here that this guy might be a serial sexual abuser.
00:23:25.620
And he's a major star. He's a major NFL star. And yet somehow this, this, you're, you hear about
00:23:35.700
this case, but it's not getting the kind of attention that you might expect. I wonder why that
00:23:43.300
is. It's from the daily wire. Uh, it says parents at Litchfield elementary school in Arizona are
00:23:50.440
infuriated over the district's proposed equity plan that's infused with elements of critical race theory.
00:23:55.620
The idea that America is rooted in racism, the district's transformation equity work plan, uh,
00:24:01.220
centers around the definition of anti-racism, which claims that being not racist is insufficient.
00:24:06.680
The definition suggests that parents and educators must be actively fighting against racism in all
00:24:11.220
its forms, though what is considered racist is often subjective. Um, during a school board meeting,
00:24:17.060
parents slammed the board members who crafted and supported the equity plan. One parent threatened to
00:24:21.240
hold a recall campaign against board members. So we, we have some of the audio here and I always
00:24:25.680
appreciate that when, when there's audio of parents or students fighting back, resisting, that's, that's
00:24:32.560
a good thing. That's, that's encouraging. So let's, let's play this. Let me just tell you, my kids are a
00:24:38.800
minority group. I am Hispanic. Never once have they come home and said that they felt victimized
00:24:46.180
discriminated against or discriminated against because of their race or ethnicity.
00:24:59.080
I've done a lot of research into this transformational equity work document, as well as Mr. Kendi's
00:25:06.860
theory. I have had over a dozen teachers reach out to me frustrated and upset over what is being thrown their
00:25:25.160
way with this transformational equity work. Thanking me for speaking up for them because they can't do it themselves for fear of
00:25:33.760
retaliation and possible discrimination. Further on the document references, reducing disciplinary action by race,
00:25:42.640
reviewing library books and hiring based on race, ethnicity, gender identity, faith, sexual orientation,
00:25:51.840
socioeconomic class and age. You know what we have fought and battled for equal rights in this country.
00:26:02.000
This doesn't sound like equal rights. This sounds like we're going to go higher based on
00:26:11.940
Well, you have to excuse some of the, uh, the dramatic music there underneath. That's, that wasn't,
00:26:15.620
that wasn't our edition, but there is the, uh, yeah, there's parents, parents speaking out against this
00:26:20.460
insanity, which, which is great. Um, it's, this is at a minimum is what's going to be needed.
00:26:26.060
Parents to be aware and involved in speaking out. If you, if you feel that you have no choice, but to
00:26:34.540
send your kid to public school, then you, at a minimum, you got to be doing this. You have to be
00:26:38.720
on top of it. You have to be aware of everything that's happening, talking to your kids about it
00:26:42.840
every day when they get home, right? Get, get the full report of what happened, what they were taught.
00:26:49.280
Um, go to the school board meetings, you pay attention. You got to do this. You have to do
00:27:00.860
it or you're going to lose your child. I mean, it's that, that's, that's where we're at. You're
00:27:05.960
going to lose your child. Maybe not physically, but you're going to lose them mentally, emotionally,
00:27:10.760
spiritually. You're going to lose them in any, every other way.
00:27:12.800
The school system is going to take your child from you and replace your kid with someone else.
00:27:23.700
Turn them into something. All, all the values, all the ideas that you have instilled, all the,
00:27:31.260
the priorities and everything that you, that, that you have instilled in your child, the school
00:27:35.800
systems job that they've given themselves is to take all that away and replace it.
00:27:42.800
Um, but I can't help, but think every time I watch a video like this, I can't help, but think that
00:27:50.600
it's a little bit like trying to empty the ocean with a thimble. There's it's, it's, there's too
00:27:58.240
much. The school system now, the school systems across the country are so fundamentally beholden to,
00:28:08.340
you know, you know, left-wing doctrines that there's not a lot that can be done to change it.
00:28:16.180
Except for, as I always say, get your kids out of the public school system.
00:28:19.560
A little bit more school craziness. A school district in Illinois is looking to take Thomas
00:28:24.380
Jefferson's name off of a school, but they're having trouble now figuring out who to replace,
00:28:30.020
what name to put in place of Thomas Jefferson, because what they're discovering
00:28:33.180
is that everyone in history, even like recent history, even recent presidents, like say
00:28:39.960
Barack Obama are also problematic by the left standards today. Uh, here's a report
00:28:45.160
on this from the local affiliate, uh, the local, local ABC affiliate. Let's watch that.
00:28:49.900
Those against the Obamas as a name choice say the former president failed to deliver on promises
00:28:56.700
Tonight, Waukegan's board of education heard concerns from the public over one of the finalists
00:29:01.960
in the running to be the new name for Thomas Jefferson middle school. I want to urge the
00:29:05.940
school board to drop the names of Barack and Michelle Obama from consideration. I personally,
00:29:10.640
um, don't object to the name, but I have to be aware of the concerns. The country's first black
00:29:17.160
president and first lady Barack and Michelle Obama is one of the top three choices for the school's
00:29:21.940
new name, but one that's drawing opposition in the area with a large Latinx population.
00:29:26.120
We feel that Barack Obama disserviced us. He denied us and he didn't stop the deportations
00:29:34.440
the way he promised. Members of the area's Latinx community held a protest outside the
00:29:39.260
meeting's doors. If you're removing the name of Thomas Jefferson, one oppressor,
00:29:45.080
the name of Obama is another oppressor and our families do not want to see that name.
00:29:51.240
Mauricio Sanchez's father was deported in 2015 during the Obama administration.
00:29:55.620
It was something very sad. We had to, we couldn't even say goodbye to our dad. We just, um,
00:30:02.260
hoped for him to be able to get out. He said his dad is still in deportation hearings to this day.
00:30:07.980
And the Sanchez family says the Obama name is reminder of their current struggles.
00:30:13.580
You gotta love it. You really do. Obama's an oppressor too. You remove one oppressor,
00:30:20.000
Thomas Jefferson. Can't replace him with another Barack Obama. Yep. He's an oppressor. Fine.
00:30:27.640
Everybody is, there's no getting around it. Nobody, I mean, really nobody is woke enough now.
00:30:37.680
Like the only, only, only people who could be woken up is someone who, someone maybe who was born
00:30:49.900
And we name all the schools after infants, after gender fluid infants. They're the only ones who
00:30:56.380
could possibly be woken up. Anyone who existed prior to five years ago is going to have done things that
00:31:04.840
are considered problematic now or held views or said things that are considered problematic.
00:31:10.960
I mean, my goodness, uh, Barack Obama was anti-gay marriage for most of his life.
00:31:17.340
He ran in 2008 as a, as a pro-traditional marriage candidate, which is crazy to think now, but it's true.
00:31:26.900
And they didn't, they haven't even brought that up yet.
00:31:28.880
He deported a few people. He was against gay marriage, man. This guy was a bigot.
00:31:38.000
I guess you got to take, just, you take all the names down, all the statues down, replace them with
00:31:41.420
nothing. Give all the schools numbers. That's it. Here's someone who might be woken up. I don't know.
00:31:50.020
Um, Demi Lovato announced that she is a pansexual. So she's a pansexual now. She's kind of been
00:31:57.200
graduating from one level to the next. Uh, I think at one, didn't one point she said she was a lesbian
00:32:03.820
or maybe bisexual, but now she's, now she's pansexual. And here she is on Joe Rogan talking
00:32:09.380
about, well, here she is talking about living her truth. Um, and then she gets into how she's
00:32:13.800
pansexual. Let's, let's listen to that. For someone like me, who's always tried to please other people
00:32:20.060
by being what they want me to be, whether it was a sexy pop star and a leotard or engaged to
00:32:26.680
a dude. Like I had to speak my truth and tell the world, Hey, my truth isn't going to be what you
00:32:37.060
want it to be anymore. Like I'm chopping my hair off because it feels right to me. A lot of my fans
00:32:43.420
want me to have long hair. They're like, they love the long hair. It's like, look, how do they feel
00:32:47.000
about the double unicorns on your shirt? They haven't seen them yet. Only you have.
00:32:53.660
But we'll find out. And I'm eager to know. It's hilarious. If people have expectations
00:32:58.860
about your looks, like how you, how you should wear your hair. Yes. But that's being a pop star.
00:33:04.780
Yeah. Oh, it sounds so hard. That's being a pop star. People have expectations.
00:33:10.320
But she's living. She had to speak her truth and live her truth.
00:33:12.620
I gotta say, I'm kind of disappointed in Joe Rogan that he, that he listened to her say that
00:33:19.240
and didn't roll his eyes. At least I don't think it did. It wasn't on camera. But when someone uses
00:33:22.640
the phrase, speak my truth or live my truth around you, and they're not being ironic or sarcastic,
00:33:28.500
the only appropriate response is to roll your eyes and say, shut up. That's it. I don't care who
00:33:34.020
it is. That's the only appropriate response. You definitely can't nod your head and go along with
00:33:40.340
it. Oh, uh-huh. You're speaking your truth. Great. That's so brave. So brave.
00:33:45.240
She goes from there to talk about how, uh, she's attracted to, she's a pansexual now and
00:33:49.900
she's so fluid. She's so fluid now, she says. And, uh, and she clarified that she's attracted to
00:33:57.860
anything, anything, not even anybody, anything, including maybe actual pots and pans. So
00:34:07.300
in a very literal sense, she's pansexual. I just love hearing these celebrities complain
00:34:13.040
about fame. I mean, even putting the pansexual stuff to the side, because we know they're
00:34:18.440
like, yeah, the LGBT crew, they're so oppressed that every celebrity in existence right now
00:34:26.460
is desperate to be a part of the club and they're coming up with anything they can to
00:34:30.000
be in there. That's how oppressed they are, right? But the rest of it about, oh, people
00:34:34.680
don't like it when you chop your hair off or they have expectations. Yeah. You're famous.
00:34:40.780
You have cultivated, you don't become famous by accident. Most of the time you have to cultivate
00:34:47.900
that fame. You have to try really hard to be famous and to maintain your fame because
00:34:56.280
even Demi Lovato's at a level, she's really famous, but she could stop being famous if she
00:35:01.920
wanted. If she went away, did something else, people would basically forget about her and not
00:35:05.920
care in a few years or a few months. So don't complain about it. Everybody has an opinion.
00:35:13.100
They're all looking at you. Of course they are. It's what you want. This is the situation you have
00:35:18.720
tried really hard to create for yourself and maintain. I'm not really interested in the
00:35:24.260
complaints about it. Finally, a little bonus thing here. I got to play this. We can't,
00:35:29.040
we can't move on without playing, even if you've already heard it. Jill Biden, Dr. Jill Biden Esquire
00:35:34.740
was giving a speech to a group of Hispanic voters, rather Latinx, Latinx voters, I should say.
00:35:40.320
Excuse me. And she attempted a bit of Spanish herself and it didn't go well. Here it is.
00:35:46.100
So say it with me. Si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si, se, si, piu, si, si, si, si, obvio si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si. si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si, si
00:36:22.280
It would become an episode of Maury all of a sudden?
00:36:26.360
She was going for Yes, We Can, which is Cise Puede, P-U-E-D-E.
00:36:32.820
I think, in fact, the correct pronunciation is Puede, I believe.
00:36:42.580
This should be something that all politicians or, you know, people in the political light should know.
00:36:49.320
Don't attempt to speak a foreign language unless you know it really, really well, which she obviously doesn't.
00:36:54.120
And on top of that, if you're watching the video there, you saw a really curious flag in the background, which looks a lot like a Nazi flag.
00:37:05.300
It kind of has the Nazi eagle, the same color scheme.
00:37:18.140
She wasn't really at a Hispanic Nazi rally, we can assume, probably.
00:37:26.080
It looks more Nazi-esque than, say, the stage at CPAC.
00:37:30.840
You've got to stretch a lot more to make the stage at CPAC into a Nazi symbol than you did with that flag of the eagle and the red and everything.
00:37:39.280
But, of course, we get the controversy over the stage, but not over that flag.
00:37:45.160
Can you imagine if that was Trump giving a speech in front of a flag like that?
00:37:50.620
We would quite literally never hear the end of it.
00:37:54.520
All right, let's move on to reading the YouTube comments.
00:38:02.480
There is a 0% chance Matt is not wearing skinny jeans with that shirt.
00:38:11.280
I was watching this on the Daily Wire but came to YouTube just for the comments on Matt's shirt.
00:38:17.940
I've been avoiding the comment feed for months in an effort not to get banned, but after seeing today's shirt, I no longer have fear.
00:38:28.680
We're all focusing on the shirt, but little do we know that he's also wearing skinny jeans.
00:38:34.260
Matt's wife doesn't mind that he's taken to wearing her blouses.
00:38:41.380
Walsh's wife was unavailable for shirt check when he left the house today.
00:38:44.300
His daughter dressed him in this thing as payback for the Tooth Fairy lies.
00:38:49.920
How did you fit into your grandmother's blouse?
00:39:06.400
So I'm gathering from the comments that y'all didn't like my polka dot t-shirt that I wore yesterday.
00:39:16.020
was it hard for you to see me in my hideous shirt?
00:39:17.940
Was it so hard that you needed to leave a thousand comments and even to leave, to message my wife?
00:39:25.580
My wife got messages, people telling on me for the shirt that I wore.
00:39:33.600
Well, how hard do you think it is for me to be cyber bullied like this?
00:39:42.960
I was feeling confident in my, in my polka dot t-shirt.
00:39:50.380
gee whiz, I cannot wait for the gang to see my new shirt.
00:40:04.600
I'm not going to be stopped from speaking my, from wearing my truth.
00:40:11.920
So I tell you what, here's, what's going to happen now.
00:40:14.700
I'm going to wear that damn shirt once a week for the rest of the year,
00:40:21.460
You think you can shame me out of wearing something?
00:40:26.260
You're going to have to look at that shirt every week now for the rest of the year.
00:40:35.800
Every time you see it, I want you to think about the way that you bullied me.
00:40:41.000
I want you to think about the hurt that you caused.
00:40:52.500

00:42:29.160
Really excited to announce that if you watch the show this Friday,
00:42:32.860
there's going to be a particularly brilliant, and I have to say,
00:42:35.660
handsome guest who makes great decisions in the kinds of shirts that he wears.
00:42:41.820
So you can watch for that reason, or you can just watch because it's a great show in general.

Today we're canceling, on top of everyone, of course, who was making fun of my shirt.
00:43:02.880
You're all banned from the show, needless to say.
00:43:08.060
You've never heard of her before, and that's part of the point.
00:43:10.700
She's an actress who, so far as I know, has appeared in one thing of note,
00:43:15.720
That was many years ago, season three, a two-part episode called A Benihana Christmas.
00:43:19.620
In the episode, she, an Asian woman, plays a waitress who Michael ends up hitting on
00:43:24.680
and trying to use as a rebound because he's depressed after just breaking up with his girlfriend,
00:43:28.760
if I remember the plot points correctly, and I probably do because I've seen all the episodes
00:43:34.080
Anyway, Kat, 15 years later, has decided that it was actually racist,
00:43:46.640
So, these are the things I've learned as an actress on the Benihana Christmas episode
00:43:53.440
I actually understood why BIPOC actors play racist roles.
00:44:02.500
Sometimes you just don't want your agent to drop you.
00:44:04.920
Also, this episode was before, you know, wokeness.
00:44:08.940
So, the Benihana Christmas episode is actually one of the more popular holiday TV episodes,
00:44:13.160
um, and the storyline with myself and the other Asian American actresses
00:44:17.640
is that we were the uglier versions of the actresses at the Benihana.
00:44:25.000
We're one big monolith and we're just one big walking stereotype
00:44:47.840
Wasn't a problem at all at any point until now.
00:44:58.860
First of all, she says, while trying to explain
00:45:08.960
So now this is like the new BCAD we're going to have.
00:45:17.780
Well, she believes and is not alone in believing
00:45:19.540
that at some point in the last, like, five years,
00:45:22.440
society went through some kind of great mystical awakening.
00:45:28.420
we thought was fine and normal is actually bad.
00:45:31.080
Nobody can ever explain how this awakening occurred
00:45:35.780
rather than, say, mass delusion or a moral panic.
00:45:51.460
True moral enlightenment doesn't work that way.
00:45:54.400
Societies can become morally enlightened in certain ways
00:46:01.520
But those gains are won slowly over long periods of time
00:46:13.380
and became hysterical about some new alleged evil,
00:46:17.000
if you find that everyone is suddenly freaking out
00:46:30.900
is pretty much the exact opposite of enlightenment.
00:46:48.440
is that every character was a distinct personality,
00:47:13.900
All of the characters were stereotypes intentionally,
00:47:27.080
or self-awareness and saying insensitive things,
00:47:29.440
even while mostly trying to be politically correct.
00:47:41.780
even so, it must be considered offensive these days
00:47:52.420
It wasn't really making fun of people for the race.
00:47:54.660
It was simply, it was a joke that dealt with race.
00:47:56.940
It was a joke where race was a part of the joke.
00:48:19.460
Then listing, it lists the episodes that, quote,
00:48:51.300
attaching offensive content disclaimers to others.
