Today on the Matt Wall Show, there's finally a real and concerted effort to push back against critical race theory in schools, but the effort should go beyond merely pushing back.
00:00:08.320
I'll explain why. Also, five headlines, including a new report claiming that America will never achieve herd immunity and the coronavirus will be with us forever.
00:00:15.840
So that's the good news. Also, a viral video shows a mother trying to plant the idea into her daughter's head that she's really a boy.
00:00:22.080
And a male Democrat congressman tells a Republican woman to, quote, shut her mouth and is, of course, applauded by the left.
00:00:28.540
And finally, on our daily cancellation, we'll deal once and for all with the question, are space aliens preparing to invade?
00:00:34.880
And another question, even more important, why doesn't anyone seem to care?
00:00:39.620
All of that and more today on the Matt Wall Show.
00:00:50.580
You know, we all complain about all these companies out there that are that are, you know, hopelessly low woke and far left and everything.
00:01:00.280
But we shouldn't complain about that if we're not willing to support the companies that are not that the companies that have morals and are working with us and for us in the culture.
00:01:13.460
And the reason for that is 5% of your monthly plan price goes to the pro-life, pro-family charity of your choice.
00:01:19.160
And this is all about helping to build a culture of life in America while supporting a pro-life phone company at the same time.
00:01:24.880
You can turn everyday living into effortless giving with the charity of your choice.
00:01:28.780
But at the same time, you're also getting a great service.
00:01:30.340
So 5% of your monthly plan price goes to the pro-life charity of your choice.
00:01:34.340
We also get new activations and eligible accounts get a free cell phone with free activation and free shipping.
00:01:37.960
There's no contracts, there's no termination fees, and there's no risk with a 30-day guarantee.
00:01:43.920
You get free apps to monitor your usage, pay your bill, and so on.
00:01:50.400
I've been a Charity Mobile customer for a while now, and I can't say enough good things about it.
00:01:54.320
So you can call them at 1-877-474-3662 or chat with them online at charitymobile.com.
00:02:01.360
Well, you know, as a devoted cynic myself, I'm tempted to look at the downside in this rather sudden push by conservatives
00:02:07.400
to fight back against and even ban critical race theory.
00:02:11.240
The downside is that we waited this long to start fighting.
00:02:13.940
You know, critical race theory has been mainstream in our culture for years.
00:02:17.680
Kids in grade school and college have been indoctrinated into it for a very long time.
00:02:21.900
How do you think that so many millennials ended up like this?
00:02:24.620
We didn't fall out of the sky one day already in this pitiful condition.
00:02:28.880
It took conditioning for us to get like this, years of it.
00:02:31.880
And I say us only in the in the broadest sense of the term.
00:02:37.560
And when it comes especially to the racial conditioning, it took the right quite a while to notice, though.
00:02:46.400
The fact is that the racial brainwashing has finally come to the attention of many people,
00:02:51.720
especially conservatives, and that is a good, if late, perhaps even too late development.
00:02:57.460
This all means that the forces which are imposing this madness on society must ramp up the propaganda.
00:03:05.140
NBC News has gotten the memo leading to this headline that they tweeted out yesterday
00:03:09.100
in response to a school board election in Texas where CRT cult members were given a thorough drubbing.
00:03:17.880
They said opponents of anti-racism education win big in a bitterly divided election in South Lake, Texas.
00:03:25.080
It says conservative candidates who opposed a school diversity plan won every local race,
00:03:30.020
taking about 70 percent of the vote in the wealthy Dallas-Fort Worth suburb.
00:03:37.240
But those two sentences are a master class in dishonest framing.
00:03:42.840
What you just heard there, that's that's that's what fake news is.
00:03:49.660
Nearly every word is calculated to mislead, starting with
00:03:57.640
To even call it anti-racism education is to choose sides in the dispute.
00:04:03.960
When you call it anti-racism education, you're declaring that you're on the side of the CRT people.
00:04:09.520
The whole point that critics of CRT make is that it's not anti-racist at all.
00:04:14.920
That's the entire that's really the whole argument here or a major facet of the argument
00:04:21.100
is whether or not this actually is anti-racist.
00:04:26.380
By calling it anti-racist, you're taking a side.
00:04:32.560
You know, we're saying it's CRT is no more anti-racist than like a Newport ad is anti-smoking.
00:04:43.780
It teaches that white people are inherently racist, inherently bigoted, inherently oppressive.
00:04:49.740
It treats whiteness like it's a disease, a cancer, a thing that has to be eradicated.
00:05:01.720
By calling this anti-racism education, you are, again, advocating for one side.
00:05:06.060
You're adopting their premise and you're pushing it under the guise of objective reporting.
00:05:14.180
NBC calls the election bitterly divided, even though conservative anti-CRT candidates won by 70%.
00:05:22.360
I prefer terms like landslide or perhaps even butt whooping.
00:05:28.200
The vote was, in fact, as close to unanimous as a vote of this kind can hope to get.
00:05:35.660
Meanwhile, speaking of propaganda, the founder of the 1619 Project, Nicole Hannah-Jones,
00:05:40.680
was on CNN yesterday responding to a letter from Mitch McConnell where he urged the Department of Education
00:05:45.960
to purge critical race theory from its curriculum.
00:05:48.420
Again, talking about how long it took to get to this point, perhaps, you know, perhaps too late.
00:05:58.660
Critical race theory has been in the curriculum for a very long time.
00:06:01.960
Mitch McConnell is just now sending this letter.
00:06:04.900
But here's how Nicole Hannah-Jones made her case.
00:06:08.600
As you were aware, the minority leader also wrote in his letter to the secretary of education, quote,
00:06:13.300
Families did not ask for this divisive nonsense.
00:06:17.880
Americans never decided our children should be taught that our country is inherently evil.
00:06:23.420
I know you take issues certainly with that characterization.
00:06:30.240
Thank you for having me on and talking about this.
00:06:33.380
I'd like to kind of reframe the question just a bit because this is fundamentally a free speech issue.
00:06:39.340
If you look at the rhetoric of Senator McConnell and of state legislators all across the country
00:06:45.520
that are trying to get bills passed to prohibit the teaching of the 1619 Project,
00:06:52.680
It's about trying to prohibit the teaching of ideas that they don't like.
00:06:56.680
So we, you know, I've been a little appalled by the silence of free speech advocates
00:07:01.560
as these attempts to ban ideas from being taught in schools are being introduced all across the country.
00:07:16.920
Because if you don't want the CRT, critical race theory idea,
00:07:22.780
If you don't like that idea, then you must not like any.
00:07:27.260
Teachers in schools should have the free speech to indoctrinate your children in whatever way they see fit.
00:07:33.180
Now, interestingly enough, something tells me that you'll never hear Nicole Hannah-Jones
00:07:41.040
free speech of Christian public school teachers to teach their students that,
00:07:44.860
I don't know, Jesus Christ is their Lord and Savior.
00:07:47.840
In fact, you probably won't even hear them advocate for the free speech rights of Christian teachers
00:07:51.720
to even so much as acknowledge or mention their religious affiliation to their kids.
00:07:56.780
The free speech argument here is obviously smokescreen.
00:08:01.480
All you get from CRT cultists are smokescreens and misdirections
00:08:09.700
There's a reason why they want to inject these ideas into environments
00:08:13.680
where they won't be seriously questioned or criticized.
00:08:17.620
Most kids in school faced with indoctrination by their teachers and pressure from their peers,
00:08:22.780
they're not going to have the capacity to resist or to think critically about it.
00:08:27.280
Critical thinking is a skill that has to be taught.
00:08:32.260
You can't leave a kid alone to develop it on their own because they won't.
00:08:37.940
And if you're relying on schools to teach critical thinking to your kids,
00:08:46.120
The backlash against critical race theory is good, of course.
00:08:53.160
We have to ask, how did the schools ever become forums for this kind of thing in the first place?
00:09:03.500
Because this is extreme, extreme, far left, wacko stuff.
00:09:17.320
Well, because the school system is a fundamentally left-wing institution.
00:09:29.660
And that's important to understand because even if you eradicate CRT from the curricula
00:09:33.980
and the textbooks and everywhere else, something else will take its place.
00:09:39.960
We should, not just in schools, but everywhere.
00:09:45.920
But the strategy can't be one of perpetual defense.
00:09:49.460
You know, always putting out fires, always pushing back against this leftist indoctrination attempt,
00:09:54.900
and then that one, then the next one, and then on and on and on.
00:09:57.060
As conservatives, and especially as parents, our ultimate goal should be not just to free our kids of left-wing indoctrination,
00:10:04.240
but to actively raise them and educate them according to our own values and our own worldview.
00:10:12.700
This is a point that I'm emphasizing all the time.
00:10:17.460
The problem with, for example, critical race theory is not simply that it is indoctrination.
00:10:36.140
But indoctrination, that is, you know, when we're talking about kids anyway, bringing them up in a certain worldview,
00:10:46.880
introducing them and inculcating a value system into a child.
00:10:56.720
Anytime you, when you hopefully at home are teaching values to your children, you're indoctrinating them.
00:11:04.660
That's something that you should be doing as a parent.
00:11:11.080
The question is whether it is good indoctrination or bad.
00:11:16.920
And when it comes to education, there is always going to be, you are never going to have an education that is totally free of worldview,
00:11:27.440
totally free of a value system, totally free of indoctrination, unless it's robots doing the educating.
00:11:38.440
And so the next phase, the next part of this is to go, is to get away from this defensive stance
00:11:45.880
and to focus as parents on actively bringing our kids up and educating them in to the proper and right and good value system.
00:12:04.200
We can't just get rid of critical race theory and then sit back and say, well, we've, our job here is done.
00:12:11.300
They'll just replace it with something else on and on and on forever.
00:12:16.060
Until we begin actively raising our kids with the correct value system that will help them become well adjusted, good people.
00:12:35.920
You have now only, well, less than a week until Mother's Day.
00:12:40.160
And if you haven't thought, if you haven't even thought about what kind of Mother's Day gift you're going to get,

00:13:51.800
You know, I'm at a phase right now, difficult phase myself, where my body is middle-aged, I guess.
00:14:03.660
But my emotional and mental maturity hasn't quite caught up to that.
00:14:07.920
So I did something to my back over the weekend.
00:14:11.220
It might have been when I was at the gym lifting on Saturday.
00:14:14.260
Or it might have been when I bent down to pick up a jar of peanut butter that had fallen out of the pantry.
00:14:24.500
And then yesterday, we took the kids to a playground.
00:14:34.320
And the question is, you know, what kind of grown adult plays on the jungle gym to begin with?
00:14:39.440
And what kind of moron does it when he's already injured his back?
00:14:45.680
And this is also why now I can't go to the doctor for it.
00:14:48.480
Because my wife is saying, well, you got to go to the doctor.
00:14:50.080
I'm not big on doctors in general because I'm a stereotypical man.
00:14:53.080
But I can't go and explain this whole story about, you know, I did something on my back.
00:14:56.940
And then I was playing on a jungle gym and I injured it more.
00:15:15.660
It says, early in the pandemic, when vaccines for the coronavirus were still just a glimmer on the horizon,
00:15:20.760
the term herd immunity came to signify the end game.
00:15:24.120
The point when enough Americans will be protected from the virus so we could get rid of the pathogen and reclaim our lives.
00:15:28.760
Now more than half of adults in the United States have been inoculated with at least one dose of a vaccine.
00:15:34.280
But daily vaccination rates are slipping and there is widespread consensus among scientists and public health experts that the herd immunity threshold is not attainable, at least not in the foreseeable future and perhaps not ever.
00:15:45.640
Instead, they're coming to the conclusion that rather than making a long promised exit, the virus will most likely become a manageable threat that will continue to circulate in the U.S. for years to come, still causing hospitalizations and deaths, but in smaller numbers.
00:16:00.240
So that's the, this is going viral right now on social media.
00:16:05.160
That's the claim from the New York Times anyway, that there's never going to be herd immunity.
00:16:11.140
And not just the New York Times, Dr. Leanna Nguyen was formerly of Planned Parenthood and she was on CNN echoing these concerns that we will never have herd immunity.
00:16:23.100
We're going to get to herd immunity through a balance of those who've had it and those who've got vaccinated.
00:16:30.480
So this conversation is all about how that will be balanced.
00:16:35.080
And if we can get there through more vaccination, fewer people will get sick and die.
00:16:43.460
Well, I certainly agree with you on everything you said in your intro.
00:16:47.100
I also, though, I'm not sure that we are going to reach herd immunity.
00:16:51.620
I mean, the other scenario here is that we get a decline in the number of infections because of increasing vaccinations over the summer.
00:16:59.120
But I also fear that people are going to get complacent.
00:17:01.940
They're going to see that things are returning to normal.
00:17:03.940
They can go about doing things that they can, that they were able to before, regardless of whether they were vaccinated.
00:17:10.000
And what I really worry about is that those people who are already on the fence don't get vaccinated.
00:17:18.060
And then with the winter, because coronaviruses are winter respiratory viruses, we have a big resurgence.
00:17:24.180
Maybe we have variants coming in from other countries and we could start this whole process all over again and have another huge pandemic come the winter.
00:17:32.760
And so that's why getting to herd immunity now as much as possible is really important.
00:17:37.980
So they're they're they're never going to let this go is what they're basically saying.
00:17:41.500
If I were to translate here, at best, there will be lulls in the panic porn that we get from the media and the, quote, health public health experts.
00:17:53.860
And then we get around the fall and wintertime.
00:17:56.720
And, you know, maybe at best, we'll end up with these kind of mask mandates and everything that that are imposed and then taken away and then imposed again, depending on the season.
00:18:12.280
And as far as whether we reach herd immunity, I don't have much of an opinion on that.
00:18:18.380
I think probably a lot of it depends on what you mean by herd immunity.
00:18:29.740
Me as as someone, I'm not an expert now that I'll fully admit that from day one, I unlike some of these other experts on these supposed experts on cable news who claim to be but aren't.
00:18:39.400
I will tell you I'm not an expert, but from my non expert point of view early on, it seems pretty likely to me anyway that we'd always that the coronavirus, the COVID-19 would always be with us in some form.
00:18:55.380
It's probably not going to just go away completely.
00:19:04.640
It's always going to be out there in some form.
00:19:09.400
Uh, so the question really is the question now is the same question that we've been faced with from the beginning, which is it's here.
00:19:20.640
Maybe it's always going to be here in some form and to some degree.
00:19:28.180
You can choose to live your life in spite of that reality.
00:19:32.120
Um, or you can huddle under your bed in fear, trembling.
00:19:42.040
That's the choice that we, that, you know, we were faced with back in March of 2020.
00:19:56.380
Many, many things that could kill me at any time.
00:19:58.560
Uh, and one of those things will kill me eventually.
00:20:06.920
COVID-19 has always been just for me, one of those things in that category.
00:20:12.300
Although in terms of things likely to kill me, it's it for me personally, as a low risk person for COVID, it's way down the list, but it's there along with all these other things.
00:20:24.300
And, uh, I'm, I'm aware of that and I'm going to live my life until I'm not living it anymore.
00:20:33.640
Number two, representative Marjorie Taylor Greene tweeted this over the weekend.
00:20:38.980
Democrat policies are destructive and America last.
00:20:43.040
Dem shutdowns killed hundreds of thousands of small businesses.
00:20:46.560
Dem open borders, uh, grow cartel business to $400 million per month.
00:20:51.300
And Democrat funded BLM slash Antifa riots have caused billions in damage.
00:21:04.600
So Congressman Ruben Gallego, who is a, uh, a congressman from Arizona, he responded with this.
00:21:12.500
I was trying to figure out what type of pen to stab your friends with.
00:21:15.640
If they overran us on the floor of the house of representatives while trying to conduct a democratic transition of power.
00:21:20.560
So please shut your seditious QAnon loving mouth when it comes to who loves America.
00:21:28.620
Now we're going to leave aside the mellow drama about, I was looking for a pen to step.
00:21:32.720
But this is a line that we've heard, not just from this guy, but a lot of Democrats have, I guess they've found that to be a powerful image.
00:21:39.980
I don't think it particularly is, but, um, they're, they're, they're searching for pens to stab someone with because they thought they were about to die at any moment.
00:21:47.220
Uh, we're going to, we're going to leave that melodramatic BS aside for a moment.
00:21:50.700
But here he is talking to a woman and an elected representative of this country saying, shut your mouth, shut your seditious QAnon loving mouth.
00:22:03.100
And this response from him went viral, obviously, and obviously the left was celebrating it.
00:22:15.480
Um, but we know, doesn't even need to need to be said, but I will say it if a Republican had responded to, for example, Maxine Waters, when she, uh, left DC and went out to Minnesota to rile the mob up in the lead up to the Chauvin verdict.
00:22:36.880
If a, if a Republican had said to Maxine Waters, Hey, shut your mouth, shut your race baiting, lying, riot inciting mouth.
00:22:49.260
You can only imagine the response from the left, the screams of sexism and misogyny would be deafening.
00:23:00.320
I'm, I'm really tired of, of pointing out these double standards.
00:23:09.660
No, instead of whining about the double standard, we should reject it.
00:23:18.380
So when the left sets a new rules for itself, then we say, okay, well then we can play by those rules too.
00:23:28.520
I'm, if, if those are the rules, according to you, then I have every right to play by them also.
00:23:36.500
And so that's what Republicans should start doing.
00:23:38.240
I know they won't, but a Republican should come out to Maxine Waters and say, Hey, shut your mouth.
00:23:53.480
And of course the left will react how they're going to react.
00:23:56.680
And whatever Republican had the stones to say that can say, Hey, look, you guys, you've already, you've already made it clear.
00:24:07.100
So you say that only you're allowed to play by them.
00:24:11.940
I'm not going to complain about the double standard.
00:24:27.640
Men in Congress are allowed to tell women in Congress to shut their mouths.
00:24:34.580
We live in a, in a feminist society, all about equality and equity and all these things.
00:24:47.920
But, but, but Republicans won't see what they do is they abide by the double standard while whining about it.
00:25:02.160
And then Republicans obey those rules while complaining.
00:25:08.040
Oh, gee, this, this is really, this isn't fair.
00:25:30.580
Speaking of Maxine Waters, who needs to shut her mouth.
00:25:33.860
Maxine Waters did an interview over the weekend responding to Tim Scott's claim that America is not racist.
00:25:46.980
Well, you know, I don't know if he was counseled to say that or whether he really believes that.
00:25:54.280
If he really believes that, then he has missed not only the history of the country, but what is going on right now.
00:26:02.220
As we watched the invasion of the Capitol on January 6th and those people following Trump saying they were taking back their government and they were willing to harm people.
00:26:15.780
As a matter of fact, not only were they willing to harm people, but the Capitol Police, who happened to be police of color, African-American, they were calling them names, the N-word.
00:26:31.960
Every day we have seen, you know, this nation get more racist than anybody thought perhaps would be at this point in time.
00:26:42.020
We've been through the civil rights movement where, of course, we made some progress, but this president that we had, Trump, was taking us backwards and he was making racist comments.
00:26:53.700
He was, you know, identifying himself with people like the Ku Klux Klan and the Proud Boys and the Oath Keepers and the QAnon.
00:27:05.040
I mean, that is racism defined in the most obvious way.
00:27:11.720
And so to say that this is not a racist country.
00:27:15.220
Maybe he meant to say that there are many people who are not racist in this country.
00:27:20.420
But yes, we have a problem with racism and that we must work to do something about it.
00:27:33.300
Maybe, no, you know, maybe he meant, there's no way he disagreed with me.
00:27:39.820
I think what he meant to say was that he agrees with me.
00:27:53.140
If Donald Trump had, what was the phrase she used, identified himself with the Ku Klux Klan.
00:28:01.940
If he had done that, if he had identified himself with the KKK, then I would agree that's totally racist.
00:28:20.920
That's why she's the most corrupt, dishonest, reprehensible member of Congress.
00:28:28.380
And is up there, like, for one of the all-time positions in that category, by the way.
00:28:38.440
And isn't challenged, obviously, by the supposed news anchor there.
00:28:49.660
America gets more and more racist every day, she says.
00:28:56.700
America gets more and more racist every day than, if that's what you think.
00:29:00.720
Then I guess we could stop with all these anti-racist measures.
00:29:07.800
So we've had years and years of anti-racism, critical race theory, you know, diversity, education, everything.
00:29:15.940
I mean, years and years of this, and Maxie Waters says we're only getting more racist.
00:29:20.880
It's not even like where racism is going away slower than we thought.
00:29:35.580
I mean, if anything, it's making the situation worse.
00:29:37.720
The thing is, I actually, you know, this is the part I actually agree with.
00:29:44.300
America is getting more racist, just not in the way that she thinks or will say.
00:29:51.260
Because, in fact, critical race theory and this obsession with race, dividing people based on race, all of that stuff.
00:30:02.920
It's just that a whole lot of that racism is targeted against white people.
00:30:13.660
And that's what happens when you have a whole group of people and you make them the scapegoats and the villains.
00:30:23.340
You know, whiteness has become synonymous with evil and all the bad things in the world.
00:30:29.020
So, yeah, when you do that, you're going to increase racism against that group.
00:30:39.780
So, even though we agree for very different reasons, it sounds like in both cases this is an argument for getting rid of all these anti-racism measures.
00:30:50.160
They are either not working at all or they are creating the racism.
00:30:55.180
But what you can't claim is that they are successfully combating racism if America is only more and more racist each day, as Maxine Waters says.
00:31:14.820
You know, we play TikTok videos on this show frequently.
00:31:18.360
And oftentimes they're they're always deranged and disturbing, but but sometimes in a somewhat funny way.
00:31:29.740
It is ludicrous in the extreme, but it's not at all funny.
00:31:34.300
Here is a mother who took this video, put it proudly on TikTok.
00:31:38.600
Showing how she is like a Munchausen by proxy situation, how she is trying to impose gender dysphoria on her innocent little daughter.
00:32:03.400
I feel like I'm a boy or are you, but I feel like I'm a boy or are you.
00:32:15.100
I don't know who you are, but I feel like I'm a boy or are you.
00:32:23.200
Okay, so a little hard to hear there if you're listening on the audio podcast, especially with the with the music.
00:32:30.820
It just makes us so much sicker, that music in the background.
00:32:37.560
But the video is of a girl six years old and the mother is like interrogating her and she's got the camera out.
00:32:50.580
Oh, and there's there's words on the screen says my six year old daughter asks me if I think she looks like a boy.
00:32:55.340
And I asked her, do you want to look like a boy?
00:33:08.780
In fact, what she said originally was what actually there was there was one profound thing that the child said.
00:33:17.100
She said early in the video, I don't know who I am.
00:33:21.100
And the mother is pushing her along, guiding her along towards gender confusion.
00:33:29.980
And then she says something like, I think I'm a boy.
00:33:33.620
But what she said there, I don't know who I am.
00:33:38.880
That is about as true a statement as a six year old child can ever make.
00:33:52.800
And she is at some level aware that she doesn't know who she is, which is very interesting.
00:33:57.720
And maybe that awareness comes from having a parent who's obsessed with identity and always trying to impose these things.
00:34:06.300
And so this child appears to feel all kids are confused about their identity and who they are.
00:34:13.000
This is something they come to understand gradually with age.
00:34:18.400
But she is aware of her own confusion more, mostly because she has an abusive mother, psychologically abusive mother.
00:34:33.860
But all you have to do is watch that video and you can see.
00:34:38.080
That really what you're dealing with here, there's no mystery.
00:34:43.360
This is a child who is basically babbling nonsensically.
00:34:52.760
But for the most part, as kids do at that age and for years thereafter, kind of babbling.
00:35:07.880
They seize on that confusion and they exploit it.
00:35:15.340
And then they and then they they take these children.
00:35:17.380
They put them on display for the whole world to see.
00:35:22.000
That mother, by the way, I did look up her TikTok account and she was responding to some of the critics.
00:35:28.920
And of course, she was making a victim of herself.
00:35:30.640
And so I wasn't expecting I wasn't expecting all this this big response and trying to defend and make a victim of herself.
00:35:40.400
But she she's so surprised that this video got a lot of attention and she was being criticized for it.
00:35:55.220
This is the other thing these parents always do, which sends me through the roof.
00:36:01.720
They put their child on display for the whole world.
00:36:04.720
They publicize this stuff, even though nobody asked them to.
00:36:08.660
And then when when people share their opinions.
00:36:12.360
The parents will retreat back to this is our private life.
00:36:18.840
If it's none of our business, why are you telling us about it?
00:36:21.580
See, when you put something out there into into the public domain for everyone to see, you're going to get people's opinions.
00:36:30.260
We're allowed to have opinions of opinions about anything, any information you give me.
00:36:35.720
I am going to have an opinion about it because I have a brain and I'm allowed to.
00:36:41.780
If you don't want my opinion about it, don't tell me about it.
00:36:51.520
It's just that they want our opinion to validate.
00:36:56.220
The psychological trauma and abuse that they are.
00:37:01.860
Imposing on their child, that's what they want.
00:37:05.960
And when they don't get that, then they then then they become the victims, because as I always point out, this is all about the parent.
00:37:25.240
In a weird way, the children become spectators of their own identity crisis.
00:37:31.800
As the parents create this identity crisis on their own.
00:37:36.660
And the kids are just sitting back looking at it like, what is what's mom doing?
00:37:51.580
All right, let's move to reading the YouTube comments.
00:37:55.000
This one says, Matt, have your wife lay out your clothes the night before and you won't have to remember which shirt to wear on Fridays.
00:38:01.120
Well, she actually does lay out my clothes most.
00:38:06.000
Like I told you, I have the emotional and mental maturity of a child.
00:38:08.560
So she does lay out my clothes most days, but she is not.
00:38:14.040
Yeah, this is really her fault, I guess, that I miss Polka Dot Friday.
00:38:23.880
I hate to be airing my own dirty laundry, so to speak.
00:38:27.220
But my wife is not a proponent of Polka Dot Friday.
00:38:36.640
And yeah, she laid out a shirt and I just put it on.
00:38:41.540
Because I'm going to wear whatever shirt is put before me to wear.
00:38:49.600
I was wondering who to blame and I've realized it's my wife.
00:38:55.640
The other one says, congratulations on the 250,000 subs, Matt.
00:38:59.300
Even though YouTube hates you and us, it's still a fine achievement and well-deserved.
00:39:06.120
Well, yeah, we did reach, we crossed 250,000 subscribers.
00:39:09.780
So, you know, we started at the beginning of, like, mid-2020.
00:39:15.400
We had, I don't know how many we had, a pitifully low number.
00:39:22.240
Christian says, please react to Rap Star by Polo G in your next rap review.
00:39:27.300
It's currently the number one song in the country for two weeks now.
00:39:29.520
And I would love to see your take on this modern masterpiece of Western civilization.
00:39:34.600
I haven't heard of this artist known as Polo G.
00:39:40.760
I had been looking for another rap masterpiece to review for YouTube.
00:39:50.560
Devin says, I really enjoyed your book, Church of Cowards.
00:39:57.880
All I can say is I'm working on a book project right now.
00:40:03.300
It's going in a completely different direction from what you probably expect.
00:40:07.980
And finally, I had a bunch of comments about the pit bull topic, which we touched on briefly during the five headlines yesterday.
00:40:16.380
One comment says, I disagree with your pit bull statement and the idea that since they're capable of mauling someone as a reason to ban them, as that's what the left says about police, they have the possibility to maul someone.
00:40:27.520
Another one says, Matt's argument against pit bulls is the same argument the left uses against the Second Amendment.
00:40:31.660
Another one says, Matt, I think you should talk to Caesar, the dog whisperer.
00:40:34.960
He will tell you that it's the owners who have a problem, not the dogs.
00:40:38.980
And Bo says, when you say pit bulls should be banned, you sound like a leftist, Matt.
00:40:44.340
These are the kind of arguments I always hear with the pit bull thing.
00:40:48.820
Or, oh, you're a leftist wanting to ban things.
00:40:51.800
First of all, I am not of the opinion that only the left wants to ban things.
00:41:02.660
This is the kind of overly simplistic conservatism that we have to move past.
00:41:10.120
We pretend that if you're banning the left, they're the only ones who want to ban stuff.
00:41:17.000
There are plenty of things that are currently banned that I think should be banned.
00:41:23.840
And I'm in critical race theory should be banned from our schools.
00:41:32.960
The question is, is it a thing that should be banned?
00:41:36.620
Now, guns aren't banned because we have that is a right expressly guaranteed to us in the
00:41:43.080
And also it's it's necessary in order to preserve our liberty.
00:41:47.200
We need to have we need to have the ability to defend ourselves.
00:41:53.840
So and then the comparison to the police is downright silly.
00:41:59.040
Again, we need law enforcement officers because we need to have a law.
00:42:03.220
We need to have law in order to live in a in a civilized society.
00:42:06.860
And we're starting to see what it looks like to live in a society that is not civilized.
00:42:10.660
So if you want to have a civilized society, you need law and then you need law enforcers.
00:42:13.780
OK, so you've got with guns, it's a guaranteed constitutional right.
00:42:30.620
The point is that they're not a necessary thing.
00:42:32.720
It's it's a it's a, you know, a privilege that you have to own a dog like this and bring
00:42:42.720
And it's a question of whether it's worth the risk.
00:42:47.500
You know, whatever your desire is, you know, whatever your reason for getting a pit bull,
00:42:52.660
people have reasons for not wanting pit bulls in their community.
00:42:55.820
And whose claim should outweigh the other in this case.
00:43:02.040
And it seems to me that your reason for wanting a pit bull is that they're cute to you.
00:43:09.380
You think they're cute and you think it's fun to have one.
00:43:15.380
The reason people might not want pit bulls in their community is that every year.
00:43:21.000
Children and other people are mauled to death by them and they are inherently dangerous animals.
00:43:26.660
And they, you know, they are they are in their nature, aggressive and capable of killing people.
00:43:34.260
And that's why you might not want them in your community.
00:43:35.960
So I tend to think the people who don't want them in the community, I think their claim outweighs
00:43:48.700
By the way, same reason we don't allow in most places you can't have wild animals.
00:43:52.400
You can't have like a chimpanzee or something in your house.
00:43:59.800
I would put the same thing with with pit bulls.
00:44:06.300
Look, there are a few things better than whiskey to my mind.
00:44:08.960
And if you can take whiskey and then you've also got patriotism, you've got conservative
00:44:15.600
It's just it's the best possible package you could hope for.
00:44:18.560
If you believe in standing for the national anthem, supporting our military first responders,
00:44:23.200
if you want to celebrate a job well done for them, then Redneck Riviera whiskey is your
00:44:26.720
whiskey source from America's heartland blended and bottled in Kentucky.
00:44:29.840
Redneck Riviera whiskey is the smoothest whiskey available from the glass of the cork and whiskey
00:44:35.080

00:44:53.460
To date, Redneck Riviera whiskey has funded over 110 college grants for kids who have lost
00:45:02.080
You can't lose for more information or to find a store near you.
00:45:11.500

And again, my survey link is DailyWire.com slash Walsh.
00:46:21.480
So today we have a daily cancellation that has been a long time coming.
00:46:24.400
Some of you out there have been begging to get canceled for this, and now the moment has
00:46:28.920
The Catalyst is a piece of The New Yorker, published a few days ago, written by Gideon
00:46:32.540
Lewis Krause, titled, How the Pentagon Started Taking UFOs Seriously.
00:46:37.300
The article goes into great length discussing the evolution of the UFO issue, or UAP, Unidentified
00:46:42.800
Aerial Phenomenon, as they're now called, though I personally choose to stick with the traditional
00:46:48.580
Now, I'm not canceling The New Yorker for this article.
00:46:51.100
It's quite fascinating, and it makes the case that has been made on this show at other
00:46:56.940
What we know is that for decades, up until the past few years, UFOs were an area of thought
00:47:03.580
and study reserved for wackos and crackpots, or at least those perceived to be wackos and
00:47:10.580
The Pentagon started admitting that it was aware of and had been investigating many reports
00:47:16.100
of strange aircraft in our skies, doing things these aircraft were, doing things that don't
00:47:21.160
seem possible by our current technology and understanding.
00:47:24.500
What's more, many sightings have been made by military personnel.
00:47:27.680
Often the objects are spotted over nuclear facilities and military installations.
00:47:31.060
These are trained technicians making these observations, not random yokels in a field somewhere.
00:47:35.740
These are people whose job is to spot threats in our skies and who presumably know what a weather
00:47:44.860
And they're saying that these things, these crafts, are not that.
00:47:52.000
There are reports of a tic-tac-shaped objects and disks and flying pyramid-looking things.
00:48:00.380
And then the government began releasing videos of what some Navy pilots had seen up in the sky.
00:48:05.240
Sure enough, it appeared to be vehicles of some kind going way faster than current technology
00:48:10.600
allows, also not making any sound while they're doing it, stopping on a dime, shooting off in
00:48:15.780
another direction, sometimes dipping into the ocean and coming back out and making all kinds
00:48:19.340
of other maneuvers that just don't seem possible.
00:48:22.500
These are the sightings that we know about, also.
00:48:26.220
Other government officials and former government officials have come out and said that there
00:48:32.480
Now the Department of Defense is expected to release a report to Congress early this summer
00:48:39.440
The point is that this is all quite unprecedented.
00:48:45.620
We've heard about them, as I said, for decades.
00:48:47.420
Plenty of those sightings have proven to be hoaxes or misunderstandings.
00:48:52.360
But now we have the government confirming and providing video evidence of unidentified flying
00:49:00.200
They're admitting that they've investigated these things and they remain totally stumped.
00:49:06.060
Some former government officials have even openly speculated that the objects might be
00:49:11.660
Now this kind of openness and transparency on this issue from the government after decades
00:49:17.160
of stonewalling or pretending to laugh it off is pretty shocking.
00:49:21.920
So all in all, no matter what your theory is, no matter what you think is going on, this
00:49:29.680
And something that should be attracting way more attention and interest than it is.
00:49:33.680
So that's why I'm canceling most of the American public today for failing to give this the
00:49:41.340
I mean, the government is out here confirming the existence of UFOs, providing videos of them
00:49:46.920
and preparing an official report to Congress on the subject.
00:49:50.460
And a lot of you are responding with a sigh and a yawn.
00:49:59.880
Now, I'm not saying that you have to believe that aliens are visiting the earth.
00:50:04.620
What I'm saying is that something is going on and whatever it is, it's a big deal.
00:50:10.740
So it seems to me that there are four plausible explanations for this, for everything that's
00:50:16.900
The weather balloon slash lens flare slash camera trick slash hallucination explanations
00:50:21.900
are not on the list, are not really plausible anymore because we have now video and testimony
00:50:28.720
Uh, so it's very clear that whatever these things are, they are actual things, not figments
00:50:33.640
of anyone's imagination, and they're not standard technology.
00:50:39.480
One, a foreign, a foreign earthly adversary has developed a technology so incomprehensibly
00:50:45.480
advanced and beyond our own capabilities that our government has no idea what it is or how
00:50:51.020
Two, our own government has developed technology so incomprehensibly advanced and so top secret
00:50:56.260
that the people investigating UFOs at the Pentagon don't know about it and aren't being told.
00:51:02.040
Three, that this is all some elaborate psyop by our government, some big distraction technique.
00:51:07.680
Four, that there are intelligent beings in the universe elsewhere than earth, and we are
00:51:16.620
Okay, now, I don't know which of these explanations are correct.
00:51:20.300
I tend to doubt, number three, that the government is making all this up to distract us.
00:51:27.960
So, if this is a distraction technique, it's a pretty bad one.
00:51:32.520
Also, if they wanted to distract us with stories of UFOs,
00:51:35.000
why did they spend like 70 years denying all these stories?
00:51:38.660
But whatever the explanation, whether this is technology from China or it's our own technology
00:51:44.560
or it's technology from some other place unknown to us, the point is that it's a big deal.
00:51:53.640
It's way more interesting than almost everything else we've spent our time droning on about.
00:51:58.940
My issue here is not that the American public disagrees with me about the origin of these objects.
00:52:03.140
I don't know the origin, so you can't disagree with me about that.
00:52:06.200
My issue is that much of the public and the media seems not to care very much one way or another.
00:52:16.360
There are actual flying saucers or flying Tic Tacs zipping around the skies, defying the laws of physics.
00:52:24.860
Nobody seems to know what they are or where they came from.
00:52:27.500
And most people are looking up and going, eh, big deal.
00:52:34.520
The public cares much more about movies, about UFOs, than it does about the real thing.
00:52:40.940
I am convinced that if space aliens actually landed on Earth and were about to emerge from their ships
00:52:49.460
and a new Star Wars movie was premiering at the same time in the ultimate case of counter-programming,
00:52:54.380
most Americans would rather go watch the movie about the aliens than go see the real thing.
00:52:57.920
We are a nation of zombies with moldy brains, incapable of awe and wonder.
00:53:08.000
You see video like that and you hear stories like this.
00:53:16.640
What makes this UFO issue so captivating is that we don't know what's happening.
00:53:22.100
It gives us a chance to wonder and think and theorize, but a lot of people don't want to think.
00:53:27.080
They want their thoughts pre-made, pre-assembled, presented to them on a platter.
00:53:33.300
Everything that requires deeper thought is uninteresting because we lack the capacity for deeper thought.
00:53:37.500
You might recall a couple of years ago when scientists released the first ever image of a black hole.
00:53:45.300
It was an image of an intergalactic object some 55 million light years away.
00:53:55.860
You know, they shrugged when it was released and they complained that the picture was too blurry and not that exciting.
00:54:11.500
But what made it exciting was the very thought that this image came to us from 55 million light years away.
00:54:18.500
We're able to look back through time and space and see something massive and ancient and mysterious.
00:54:24.820
The image itself on the surface was just a blurry mess of colors.
00:54:29.600
But the image combined with the thought of what it is and what it means and the implications,
00:54:42.760
Just as the UFO story requires us to have thoughts.
00:54:45.340
On the surface, these are just weird things buzzing around in the sky.
00:54:49.620
But think deeper and the possibilities are truly awesome and incredible.
00:54:55.180
Sadly, though, the think deeper part is where we lose a lot of people.
00:55:01.140
And by the way, they're also not invited to the welcome party when the aliens arrive.
00:55:06.420
Not that those boring losers would want to come anyway, so I guess no loss.
00:55:13.700
All of you who have not just been canceled, I hope you have a great day.
00:55:47.980
Today on the Ben Shapiro Show, CNN suggests that misinformation from the right will cause a civil war.
00:56:13.080
But it is the establishment media's embrace of radical critical race theory that will split the country.
