Today on the Matt Wall Show, the CDC has given us permission to breathe fresh air again.
00:00:04.640
Some of us, anyway. Many people have been waiting for this permission and are grateful that the CDC
00:00:08.820
will allow them to show their faces in public again. I think it's a rather pitiful and embarrassing
00:00:13.760
picture altogether. And we'll talk about it today. Also, five headlines, including the hackers who
00:00:17.960
caused a gas shortage across the U.S. win a big ransom for their troubles. AOC calls in extra
00:00:23.100
security because another member of Congress yelled at her. And Disney goes for gold in the woke
00:00:28.220
Olympics with its new cartoon show featuring interracial gay dads. And finally, in our
00:00:33.040
daily cancellation, we'll discuss the American Idol contestant who was forced off the show for
00:00:36.480
something he posted on the internet when he was 12 years old. 12. And he's canceled for that.
00:00:42.200
All of that and more today on the Matt Wall Show.
00:00:53.420
Now checking in with our friends over at Rock Auto. You know, I hate to say that I've had
00:00:56.720
so many occasions to use Rock Auto recently because we have had a lot of car trouble. But
00:01:01.760
the good thing is if you do have car trouble, which nobody wants to have, rockauto.com is going
00:01:05.720
to make it a lot easier for you because you don't have to go to the auto parts store or deal with
00:01:09.320
all that. And you know when you go to rockauto.com, it's extremely easy to navigate. You can find
00:01:14.980
everything you're looking for. And you know that whatever you find, it's going to be the best price
00:01:19.100
available. If you find it there, then you probably will find what you're looking for because the
00:01:23.880
selection is great. You know that that's the best price you're going to find. Rockauto.com
00:01:27.560
is also a family business. They've been serving auto parts customers online for 20 years. Go to
00:01:32.120
rockauto.com to shop for auto and body parts from hundreds of manufacturers. The rockauto.com
00:01:37.160
catalog, again, is unique and very easy to get through. You don't have to be. I'm not an expert
00:01:42.720
myself or anything close to it. But you don't have to be in order to get through and find what you're
00:01:48.380
looking for. You can quickly see all the parts available for your car truck. So again,
00:01:52.600
go to rockauto.com right now. See all the parts available. And as always, write Walsh in there.
00:01:57.600
How did you hear about us, Pac? So they know that we sent you. This has been a tough week for those
00:02:02.500
of us who have a weak stomach. Mayor Bill de Blasio really tested our intestinal resolve when he unveiled
00:02:09.180
New York's ingenious new plan to incentivize vaccinations in the city. As the mayor explained,
00:02:14.700
while munching like a disgusting cow, anyone who gets vaccinated will be eligible for free French fries
00:02:20.860
and a hamburger from Shake Shack. Or, you know, you could just pay the $6 and buy it yourself.
00:02:26.320
Anyway, here is Bill de Blasio making his pitch with a mouthful of half-chewed food.
00:02:31.320
Free fries when you get vaccinated? I got vaccinated. You're saying I could get this,
00:02:41.780
eat delicious fries? Wait a minute. But there's also a burger element to this?
00:02:50.180
Let me check with Bill Neidhart. Is it too early in the day to eat a burger?
00:02:53.180
I think you're good to go. This could be breakfast? Okay. I want you to look at this
00:02:58.500
and think about, again, some people love hamburgers, some don't. I really want to respect
00:03:04.400
all ways of life. But if this is appealing to you, just think of this when you think of vaccination.
00:03:10.460
Mmm. Vaccination. Mmm. I'm getting a very good feeling
00:03:23.720
By the way, what was the guy who he was talking to? What was his name? Bill Meattard?
00:03:27.660
Was that his name? I didn't really hear it. But anyway, that's horrifying. It's a rare talent
00:03:34.520
to make French fries seem unappealing. But de Blasio's pulled it off. Speaking of which,
00:03:39.200
what kind of person picks up a French fry, takes three bites of it, then puts the remainder
00:03:43.100
of the fry back down and moves on to the hamburger? Did you see him do that? Who does that?
00:03:47.920
He didn't even finish the one French fry he was holding. Takes two bites and puts it down,
00:03:52.480
picks up the hamburger, returns to the French fry. The man eats like some sort of
00:03:56.320
Martian body snatcher who's never consumed earthly food before. So no surprise there, I suppose.
00:04:02.640
More to the point, this strategy for pushing vaccinations is incredibly insulting, as well as
00:04:09.000
nauseating. Do they really think that a person hesitated about getting vaccinated for whatever
00:04:12.800
reason is going to be swayed by the promise of a fast food coupon? The assumption is that an
00:04:17.540
unvaccinated person must necessarily have frivolous and stupid reasons for their choice,
00:04:23.020
and therefore a frivolous and stupid incentive might push them in the other direction. The whole
00:04:27.100
thing is demeaning and infantilizing. With that said, we have to admit that some members of the public
00:04:31.920
are quite happy to be demeaned and infantilized. That's one of the many disturbing lessons of the
00:04:36.580
last year. It was in evidence again yesterday when the CDC, around the time that Bill de Blasio was
00:04:43.860
making us all vomit, made the announcement that we've all been waiting for. CDC Director Rochelle
00:04:50.080
Walensky, who just a few days ago was seen testifying to Congress that it's not safe for
00:04:53.760
kids to go to summer camp, she's now decided that vaccinated Americans can take off their mask.
00:05:03.340
Considering all of these factors, the data on vaccine effectiveness, the science on their ability
00:05:09.240
to protect against circulating variants, and our growing understanding of the low risk of transmission
00:05:15.020
to others, combined with universal access to vaccines for those 12 and older, today CDC is updating our
00:05:23.200
guidance for fully vaccinated people. Anyone who is fully vaccinated can participate in indoor and
00:05:30.420
outdoor activities, large or small, without wearing a mask or physical distancing. If you are fully
00:05:37.700
vaccinated, you can start doing the things that you had stopped doing because of the pandemic. We have
00:05:44.500
all longed for this moment, when we can get back to some sense of normalcy. Based on the continuing
00:05:52.980
downward trajectory of cases, the scientific data on the performance of our vaccines, and our
00:05:59.260
understanding of how the virus spreads, that moment has come for those who are fully vaccinated.
00:06:05.080
The moment has come. I said this is the announcement we've all been waiting for. I should clarify,
00:06:10.260
some have been waiting for this announcement. I haven't been. I've already been going maskless
00:06:15.120
everywhere that I can. I've been doing that from the very beginning. I didn't need the CDC's permission,
00:06:19.760
and I don't care whether they give it or not. Still, this announcement raises some questions like,
00:06:25.060
why now? Is it safer to go maskless today than it was yesterday or last week or a month ago?
00:06:29.760
The CDC issued guidance in the form of a handy chart, not but a week or two ago. And in that chart,
00:06:36.480
they called for everyone, everyone vaccinated or not, to wear masks everywhere indoors.
00:06:42.220
Then a short time later, they dramatically changed course, announcing that the vaccinateds can
00:06:46.420
take their masks off inside. Did the science change in the course of 14 days? Does the CDC have
00:06:52.020
scientific data today that it didn't have two weeks ago? These are all rhetorical questions. Of course,
00:06:58.440
I can answer them. No, there is no new scientific data. No, the science did not change. No, there's
00:07:03.260
no science-based reason why the CDC made this announcement today and not earlier. This is part
00:07:08.580
arbitrary, part theater, part politics. All manipulation. And it only underscores why you're
00:07:17.040
better off reading the science for yourself and using your common sense. As always here, the public
00:07:24.140
health officials are belatedly confirming what common sense told us all along. Indeed, they're
00:07:30.120
confirming the common sense determinations that they condemned us for making as recently as like two
00:07:35.380
days ago. Common sense and science all told us from the beginning that there's no good reason
00:07:41.960
to have everyone of all ages wearing masks everywhere, all the time, indoors and outdoors.
00:07:48.860
And yet, if we operated according to that common sense, we were castigated because common sense
00:07:57.100
didn't count unless the CDC said so. That has been the most disgusting thing to witness over the last
00:08:04.180
24 hours since the CDC's announcement. Even more disgusting than Bill de Blasio gnawing on his lunch
00:08:08.960
like a damned warthog. The most disgusting thing has been all of the people tearfully thanking the CDC
00:08:14.860
for giving them the permission to take their masks off. And there's been a lot of that kind of thing
00:08:19.080
on special on cable news, especially here's a CNN host on the verge of tears. So overcome with
00:08:25.920
gratitude for the liberties she has now been granted by our CDC masters. I just want to take a moment
00:08:32.720
to mark this minute because I found myself welling up when, when Dr. Walensky was talking and she said,
00:08:41.080
it's an, we have an exciting announcement and I still find myself welling up even right now because,
00:08:46.080
you know, you and I talked every morning, you know, during the past year about how many more
00:08:53.060
Americans were going to die. You know, what was going to happen? Were we going to make it to the
00:08:56.740
vaccines? Were we all going to survive? What was going to happen? And, you know, 580,000 Americans
00:09:02.700
didn't make it to this day, you know, this day that they say that we can throw these away,
00:09:07.980
that we've all been clinging to. And here we are. I mean, we just didn't know when this day would
00:09:13.680
come, but it feels a little bit like it's over today, doesn't it? You're getting me emotional too,
00:09:22.400
Alison. I mean, gosh, I got goosebumps as you're talking. I mean, I, it's, it's a really important day.
00:09:28.260
The masks we've all been clinging to. I mean, speak for yourself, Alison.
00:09:36.140
They really think this is how out of touch these people are.
00:09:42.200
And they wonder why they have trouble connecting with most Americans.
00:09:48.040
She really thinks that we've all been clinging desperately to our masks.
00:09:52.400
No, I haven't been, you know, I would throw my mask away in celebration or burn it or something,
00:10:04.220
Um, that's how much I've been clinging to it. But if that wasn't quite sickening enough,
00:10:08.060
Rachel Maddow over on MSNBC says that now with the CDC's permission, she will have to rewire her
00:10:13.840
brain and figure out how to be around other bare faced people without having a panic attack.
00:10:18.920
Let's listen. Everybody had very personal feelings about it. And I realized I did too.
00:10:23.540
And all these questions, part of it is that I feel like I'm going to have to rewire myself
00:10:27.540
so that when I see somebody out in the world, who's not wearing a mask, I don't instantly think
00:10:32.280
you are a threat or you are selfish, or you are a COVID denier and you definitely haven't been
00:10:37.560
vaccinated. I mean, we're going to have to rewire the way that we look at each other.
00:10:42.100
President Biden spoke to that a little bit today, asking for people to,
00:10:45.100
President Biden actually and Dr. Fauci both spoke to that today, asking for people to
00:10:48.340
essentially be patient, be compassionate, give people respect for whatever they decide
00:10:53.840
on this front, because with this changing guidance, we're going to now have changing
00:10:58.020
norms and we got to give each other space to have feelings about that as we go through
00:11:02.820
what's going to be a big change that's going to create a lot of visceral reaction in a lot
00:11:08.620
of us just in our day-to-day lives. Big day, big change.
00:11:11.880
So that was all a really long way of saying, I'm mentally ill. You could really summarize
00:11:17.500
it there, Rachel. Just say, I'm mentally ill, which yes, we know. We know you are. But there's
00:11:23.140
been a lot of this kind of sentiment expressed. People have waited for the CDC to give them
00:11:26.300
permission to breathe fresh air. They literally needed permission to breathe. The reason given
00:11:31.680
for this obsequious, submissive demeanor is that they're following the science. And that's
00:11:37.620
why they're waiting for the CDC, because I'm following the science. Well, the CDC is not
00:11:41.500
the science. The National Institute of Health is not the science. The World Health Organization
00:11:47.200
is not the science. These are institutions comprised of people, and the people are oftentimes
00:11:53.660
self-interested and highly political. Yes, they have science-y sounding words in the names
00:11:59.140
of the organizations, but that doesn't mean that they're themselves synonymous with science.
00:12:04.120
If you have trouble understanding this point, just think about this. What if I justified
00:12:08.420
a decision made by a court of law by saying, hey, it's the justice system. What do you disagree
00:12:14.420
with justice? I mean, if you disagree with something that the justice system does, you must have
00:12:19.620
a problem with justice. Yes, it's the justice system, as in it's a system that's supposed to enact
00:12:28.500
justice, but the system is made up of people, and those people can be wrong and often are.
00:12:34.120
To act as though the justice system is synonymous with justice itself is, as a concept, is to engage
00:12:42.080
in the most debased form of brainless bootlicking imaginable. It would sound insane for me to make
00:12:48.180
that argument, and it sounds just as insane when it comes to science and the CDC. Of course, all that
00:12:54.680
established, the people who are celebrating today and popping the champagne because their CDC overlords are
00:13:00.780
allowing them to show their face in public again are certainly pitiful and embarrassing and a disgrace
00:13:05.200
to our country, but they're not nearly as bad as the countless others who are jealously clinging to
00:13:09.800
their masks, still refusing to take them off because they've become psychologically and emotionally
00:13:14.480
dependent on them. Altogether, it's clear that the pandemic and the government's response to it
00:13:22.200
and the media's fear-mongering over it have all been simply too much to bear for many Americans who
00:13:28.560
already lacked a moral and intellectual foundation and who had lived distracted and superficial lives
00:13:34.700
and had never even considered the issue of their own mortality until this past year.
00:13:38.940
All of these factors together have ruined many of these people, possibly permanently.
00:13:45.240
They'll never be able to breathe fresh air again without it causing anxiety,
00:13:48.800
or else they become conditioned like Pavlov's dogs to follow the orders and edicts of anyone with
00:13:54.420
health official in their title. Perhaps some will return to normal lives, but they'll be ready to
00:13:59.980
abandon those lives again whenever the next crisis emerges, whether real or imagined.
00:14:06.360
But those of us who have operated by common sense, who kept living our lives, who used our critical
00:14:14.740
thinking capacities and made our own decisions as adults and Americans and didn't wait for anyone's
00:14:21.840
permission to exercise our basic liberties, we at least come out of this with our mind sharp and our
00:14:29.340
dignity intact. And maybe we could take some solace in that. Now let's get to our five headlines.
00:14:36.360
Now let's talk about beard supply. You know, my beard, it's the one, I think it's my one good trait.

00:15:55.300
uh, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, you know, she has it pretty rough. Um, there's, you know,
00:16:00.940
she's had many near-death experiences where in fact she wasn't near death at all, but, um,
00:16:06.540
at least in her mind, she's constantly under attack. And here's another such case. Uh,
00:16:13.260
Mediate reports, Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has reportedly sought increased
00:16:17.580
security after Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene aggressively confronted her in the Capitol
00:16:22.080
building Wednesday, accusing her of supporting terrorists and Antifa. According to a new report
00:16:27.200
from the Washington Post, Taylor Greene began shouting at Ocasio-Cortez as she left the house
00:16:30.580
chamber. Um, and we have only the report of this. I wish we had a video. That'd be great. That'd be
00:16:35.220
fun to watch, but there's no video as far as I know. So this is, um, the report. It says two Washington
00:16:40.760
Post reporters witnessed Ocasio-Cortez exit the house chamber late Wednesday afternoon ahead of Greene
00:16:45.780
who shouted, Hey Alexandria twice in an effort to get her attention. When Ocasio-Cortez did not stop
00:16:52.200
walking, Greene picked up her pace and began shouting at her and asking why she supports Antifa,
00:16:57.020
a loosely knit group of far left activists and Black Lives Matter, falsely labeling them terrorist
00:17:02.500
groups. This is the Washington Post framing, by the way, with the falsely labeled because in reality
00:17:07.820
that that is a correct label. But Greene also shouted that Ocasio-Cortez was failing to defend her
00:17:13.360
radical socialist beliefs by declining to publicly debate the freshmen from Georgia.
00:17:17.260
Uh, Greene shouted, you don't care about the American people. Why do you support terrorists
00:17:20.440
and Antifa? Ocasio-Cortez did not stop to answer Greene, only turning around once and throwing her
00:17:25.660
hands in the air in an exasperated motion. The two reporters were not close enough to hear what the
00:17:30.100
New York Congresswoman said and her office declined to discuss her specific response. Um, and then in a
00:17:36.460
statement, the Ocasio-Cortez's spokeswoman, Lauren Hitt, said the following,
00:17:40.980
representative Greene tried to begin an argument with Congresswoman Ocasio-Cortez. And when
00:17:47.140
representative Ocasio-Cortez tried to walk away, Congresswoman Greene began screaming and called
00:17:51.240
representative Ocasio-Cortez a terrorist sympathizer. We hope leadership and the sergeant at arms will
00:17:56.140
take real steps to make Congress a safe civil place for all members and staff, especially as many
00:18:01.820
offices are discussing reopening. One member has already been forced to relocate her office
00:18:06.480
due to Congresswoman Greene's attacks. Yeah, she's just a, what is she, drop kicking people in the
00:18:12.960
hallway? Doing cartwheels like some kind of ninja? Her attacks. We got to keep everyone safe.
00:18:21.980
Yeah, as I said, another near-death experience here for, um, for poor Alexandria. Somebody was
00:18:28.260
raising their voice in her presence. Oh, oh God, no, no. She nearly died.
00:18:37.320
First of all, everything that Marjorie Taylor Greene reportedly said is true. So let's establish that.
00:18:43.880
And, um, so they raised, she raised her voice a little bit. Get over it, sweetheart. You'll be fine.
00:18:52.540
Why not? It's a good question, actually. Why, why are you supporting these organizations? Why won't
00:19:00.880
you denounce Antifa? Pretty good question. And Aquesa-Cortez refuses to answer that question. So,
00:19:08.880
hey, what is it that, um, I'm trying to remember, what is it that Maxine Waters was urging people to
00:19:16.600
do? What was the word she used? Oh, yeah. Um, confrontational. Didn't she say that? Get more
00:19:23.380
confrontational. She said that multiple times. I mean, she, she told her supporters to get in
00:19:28.040
people's faces, let them know they're not welcome. So at worst, Representative Greene is merely
00:19:36.180
taking, uh, Maxine Waters' advice and doing as, as the Democrats and other Democrats do have, have
00:19:44.440
encouraged. Of course, I know the, the difference is that, oh, no, no, no, you're not supposed to do
00:19:50.240
that. I was talking to, it's only if you have the correct political views, that's when you're allowed
00:19:55.360
to be confrontational to the point of even like burning down a building. If you want to invade a
00:20:01.540
police station, drive everybody out and burn it to the ground. You can do that. That's like,
00:20:05.280
that's confrontation. That's okay. As long as you have the correct political views.
00:20:08.780
Now, it sounds like Marjorie Taylor Greene just doesn't accept that double standard. And so she
00:20:15.740
was responding that way. And, uh, I don't, man, it's fine. Deal with it. You know, in Congress,
00:20:23.840
they used to be a lot more confrontational than that. They used to hit each other with their,
00:20:27.680
with their canes and pokers from the fireplace. You would have politicians getting into duels
00:20:34.600
and that kind of thing. So this is really not, uh, not too aggressive as compared to that.
00:20:41.460
All right. Next from Yahoo, it says colonial pipeline company paid nearly $5 million to
00:20:46.540
Eastern European hackers on Friday, contradicting reports earlier this week that the company had
00:20:50.980
no intention of paying an extortion fee to help restore the country's largest fuel pipeline.
00:20:55.940
Uh, the company paid the hefty ransom in difficult to trace cryptocurrency within hours after the
00:21:00.700
attack, underscoring the immense pressure faced by the Georgia based operator. Um, and so they paid
00:21:06.900
the, they paid the ransom of 5 million and now supposedly the pipeline's getting back online. And I think
00:21:13.080
they're saying, but it'll take a couple of weeks before things maybe get back to normal. Um, you can't
00:21:19.480
really, you could say that the company here at least refused to negotiate with terrorists because
00:21:28.280
they just give the terrorists everything they wanted. So that that's one way of not, not negotiating,
00:21:32.100
not negotiating could go one way or another. And they chose their way. But, uh, from a business
00:21:36.720
perspective, they're just looking at this, like, listen, we can lose 5 million or we could keep
00:21:42.020
this thing going and lose a lot more than 5 million business decision. We're just going to pay the
00:21:45.600
ransom. So for a business decision, from a business standpoint, you can understand it,
00:21:49.200
but I really think we can't, it can't be emphasized enough just how disturbing it is that we could have
00:21:59.680
these foreign hackers, 6,000, whatever, five, 6,000 miles away, other side of the world sitting in
00:22:09.380
front of their computers. They press a couple of buttons. And next thing you know, we have a gas
00:22:15.720
shortage in the United States. That's what happened. Hackers pressed some buttons and caused
00:22:22.860
a gas shortage across the United States. And that makes you wonder what else can they do?
00:22:30.260
If they can do that pretty easily, then what else, what else can they do? What happens when they
00:22:34.420
attack the power grid? Where are we then? But you know, as we discussed yesterday, the good news
00:22:42.420
is that our intelligence agencies, um, they're, they're not so much focused on that, but they
00:22:47.580
are focused on promoting diversity and tolerance. So, uh, if the hackers ever come to come after the
00:22:52.260
power grid and send us back into the stone age, uh, that'll be unfortunate, but at least when our
00:23:00.780
civilization is destroyed and we're in the stone age, we will be a diverse and tolerant stone age
00:23:05.840
civilization. So at least we'll have that. All right. Speaking of being diverse and tolerant from
00:23:12.520
the daily wire, it says Disney is revamping the proud family, a 20 year old cartoon sitcom
00:23:17.780
about an African American family. And we'll be featuring a cast that includes two interracial
00:23:23.120
gay dads whose adopted daughter is a teenage racial activist. I told you this is the, they're going for
00:23:31.560
gold in the woke Olympics with this show. Actors, Zachary Quinto and Billy Porter, both of whom are
00:23:36.940
gay, will be playing Barry Leibowitz Jenkins and Randall Leibowitz Jenkins, respectively. The two are a
00:23:43.220
couple and mixed race adoptive parents to Maya Leibowitz Jenkins, a 14 year old black activist voiced by
00:23:48.780
Kiki Palmer. Um, the show will be titled the proud family louder and prouder. And apparently this,
00:23:56.780
this show aired, uh, back in whatever, 2005 or from 2001 to 2005. And, uh, I don't know if it had
00:24:03.080
the gay element back then, but they're injecting that in now. We are rapidly approaching the point
00:24:08.660
where there will be more gay parents on children's TV than exist in reality. We might actually already
00:24:14.880
be there. I don't know. Um, and the, the difference, because what you, what you hear to justify a lot of
00:24:23.080
this stuff is that, is that, um, for so long, the, all the parents that you saw on TV and all the
00:24:31.380
couples were all heterosexual and that's not representative of, of, of what's happening in
00:24:36.180
the culture. And so this is just about representing the reality and, and, and, you know, making other,
00:24:41.740
other lifestyles visible and so on and so forth. That's the, that's the justification. That's the
00:24:46.440
argument for it. But there's one, there are, there are a number of significant differences.
00:24:53.080
I'll just point to one that for so long, when you had say, you know, just a cartoon and you had a
00:25:01.420
mom and a dad and a kid in the cartoon or a sitcom or whatever, nobody was trying to make a point.
00:25:06.860
There wasn't any political point being made by the fact that you had a mom and a dad and a kid.
00:25:12.720
It's just a family. Um, the, the heterosexual, the, the sexual nature of the parents relationship
00:25:21.700
didn't, it wasn't a subject. It didn't come up. It wasn't the point, but now with all of these shows,
00:25:30.860
it is, it is all about making the point. The storyline is secondary. Whatever humor they try
00:25:37.500
to inject into it is secondary. Every plot is secondary because all of that is just providing
00:25:43.800
a forum to make the ideological point that they want to make with us. And that is a pretty big
00:25:51.360
difference. And that's also why all of these shows are terrible because it's not about the story.
00:25:59.580
Once they, they, as far as, as far as they're concerned, there is no story to tell.
00:26:04.060
They've made a show with an interracial gay parents and that's it. That's all, that's all
00:26:11.320
they wanted to do. Every story that they tell within that context is secondary. All right. Next,
00:26:18.320
um, people.com has this says Jeff Bezos is eyeing a new ride, a massive one of a kind super yacht.
00:26:26.700
The Amazon CEO, 57 reportedly plans to purchase a 417 foot long yacht that spans several decks and
00:26:34.180
boasts three enormous mass. It also has a support yacht with a helipad. The vessel known only as
00:26:41.120
project 271 reportedly costs roughly $500 million. So Jeff Bezos is getting a half a billion dollar
00:26:49.180
yacht and it has its own support yacht that comes with it. That's when you really cross
00:26:56.680
the threshold into a obscene wealth, which, which really he crossed that threshold a long time
00:27:02.640
ago. Uh, now of course this, this story came out a few days ago and a lot of people, especially people
00:27:10.080
on the left were upset about this. And we're talking about how disgusting it is that, you know, Jeff
00:27:14.640
Bezos has a, he's getting a $500 million yacht with a support yacht and how dare he. And, you know,
00:27:19.800
that couldn't that money go to the poor? Couldn't that money go to, to, to better causes and so on.
00:27:23.620
Um, I think what often happens in these arguments that the left says that says, well, this is immoral.
00:27:32.200
It's gratuitous. It's obscene. It's, it's greedy. It's all these things. And then you have the right,
00:27:38.240
um, people on the right defending it by saying, yeah, but it's, it's creating jobs. And think about
00:27:43.960
all the people now who are hired to build the yacht and to maintain it. And those are, you know,
00:27:48.940
those are, it's, it's, it's a job creating thing and that's good. Now the thing is, I, I look at
00:27:54.640
this argument and to me, both sides are actually correct. And that doesn't happen very often,
00:28:01.100
but I think both sides are right here. Um, on one hand, yeah, it does create jobs. So it is good
00:28:07.460
in that sense. There's going to be a lot of hundreds of people. If you're getting a $500 million
00:28:11.380
yacht, there are hundreds and hundreds of people involved in making it, maintaining it,
00:28:14.940
all that kind of stuff. Um, and so I'm sure all of them and their families are, are quite grateful
00:28:20.640
for, for Jeff Bezos, his greed, um, and his, his obscene wealth. But it is also true that it is
00:28:31.480
obscene and, um, it is greedy. And there really is no moral justification for that. If you've got that
00:28:42.020
kind of money to spend, you're spending it on a temple to yourself and to your own vanity.
00:28:48.820
And who could deny that? Of course that money would be better, not because the government takes
00:28:53.300
it, but of his own free will and volition, he should choose to take that money and use it. Give
00:28:57.920
it, yes, give it to those who are in need. As Christians, right? We cannot deny that claim at all.
00:29:04.720
We just have to, what would Jesus do? What is, what is, what is Jesus Christ's opinion about,
00:29:09.360
about this? Does he think that when you're, when you got all that money, you should spend it on a
00:29:13.720
yacht for yourself? Um, or should you give it to the poor? What do we think Jesus says about that?
00:29:19.440
I think we know there's no doubt about it. Um, it is, and we have to be able to draw this distinction
00:29:29.060
because that's another thing. A lot of people on the right, I think struggle to draw this distinction
00:29:31.760
where anytime you criticize what rich people spend their money on, people on the right
00:29:38.460
get their antennas up and they, because they think you're making a pitch for socialism and
00:29:43.820
they say, oh, but they have the right to spend it. They might have the right to, but that doesn't
00:29:47.660
make it right to. Okay. There's a difference sometimes between what you have a right to do
00:29:52.940
and what is right to do. And you have the right to do a lot of things that aren't actually right
00:29:58.600
to do. And that's the distinction. With all that said, um, it must also be pointed out
00:30:08.140
that the leftists who are criticizing someone like Jeff Bezos for a $500 million yacht,
00:30:15.300
even though their moral point is correct, um, that it is vanity and it is greed. And, uh, it,
00:30:23.980
of course he should be using that and, and, you know, in, in more productive ways for those who
00:30:29.300
are in need. Uh, it, it, it, it's, it's hard to deny, right? Like you've got Jeff Bezos in his
00:30:34.260
$500 million yacht. Meanwhile, you've got some people living on $12,000 a year and can barely
00:30:39.760
feed their, their kids. Um, but the problem is that on the left, you actually don't have the
00:30:50.140
moral standing to make that argument. You don't have the moral framework for it because by, by your
00:30:59.480
philosophy, by your worldview, Jeff Bezos is living his truth as a billionaire. You know,
00:31:06.580
it's just, he's living his truth. He's enjoying his life. He's enjoying the luxuries of life. He's
00:31:11.920
living each moment, um, trying to maximize his pleasure and his own personal enjoyment in each
00:31:18.640
moment. And for most people on the left, that for them, that's the whole point of life. There is
00:31:23.360
no other point of life beyond that. There also is no objective morality. Morality is subjective.
00:31:30.180
They're moral relativists. And so this is right for him. It's what he wants to do. You, you have no
00:31:36.780
basis to criticize it. There's no, there's not a much of a moral difference between a rich guy
00:31:44.000
spending his money to make himself feel good and, and, you know, building temples to his own vanity.
00:31:49.640
Not a lot of difference between that and, um, you know, a glutton who just gorges on food and gets
00:31:55.460
really fat. We're supposed to celebrate something like that. Or a woman who goes and sleeps around
00:32:00.100
and, you know, gets abortions and kills her kids to escape the consequence. We're supposed to
00:32:04.600
celebrate that woman because she's living her truth, living her life as she sees fit,
00:32:09.420
enjoying her life. Who are we to judge? Jeff Bezos belongs in that category
00:32:16.940
with the gluttons and, um, you know, and, and all of that. It's, it's, it's all in the same category.
00:32:28.100
So in order to criticize him, you have to adopt some kind of objective moral framework
00:32:34.660
where you recognize that people have moral responsibilities and moral duties that go
00:32:41.960
beyond their own whims. And that sometimes a person may really want to do something and it
00:32:49.960
may make them feel good to do it, but they shouldn't do it because there's some moral truth
00:32:54.960
that is above and beyond themselves. There is no way to criticize rich people for buying yachts
00:33:02.280
unless you have, unless that is your worldview. Unless that, unless you accept that truth,
00:33:07.900
which the left doesn't. So they have no room to criticize, unfortunately.
00:33:14.700
All right, let's move to, um, reading the, uh, YouTube comments. In fact, actually one more story
00:33:21.300
here. Oh, that's just kind of interesting. This is from DNYUZ.com, whatever that is.
00:33:26.520
Uh, it says, just how many friends can one person have? In a 1993 study, Robin Dunbar,
00:33:32.540
a British anthropologist theorized that humans can have no more than about 150 meaningful
00:33:36.860
relationships, a measure that became known as Dunbar's number. But researchers at Stockholm
00:33:41.380
University published a paper last week calling that number into question, finding that people
00:33:45.620
could have far more friends if they put in the effort. Um, Jonah Lind, an author of the study said,
00:33:51.000
we can learn thousands of digits of pi and we can engage with lots of people. Um, then we will
00:33:56.420
become better at having relationships with lots of people. In his original research, Dr. Dunbar
00:34:00.100
studied monkeys and apes and determined that the size of the neocortex, the part of the brain
00:34:04.300
responsible for conscious thought correlated with the size of groups they lived among. The neocortex
00:34:08.800
in humans is even larger. So he extrapolated that the ideal group size was on average 150. In the new
00:34:13.220
study, Dr. Lin said he and his team used updated data sets and statistical methods and found that the
00:34:18.000
size of the neocortex does not limit the number of connections people can maintain. Dunbar's number,
00:34:22.960
he said, has been criticized for quite a time. Uh, Dr. Lin's team found that no maximum number
00:34:26.980
of friendships could be established with any precision. So the original thought was that you
00:34:31.520
can have no more than 150 friends. And now we're being told that, oh, you can have a lot more than
00:34:35.660
that. Um, I would think that the real number is quite a bit smaller than that. There is no way a human
00:34:42.720
being can maintain 150 meaningful friendships. I can't even remember. And I guess I can only speak
00:34:48.800
from my own experience, but I can't even remember the names of 150 people. I could say right now,
00:34:54.720
I don't think I personally know the name of up to 150 people. If we're not counting like famous people,
00:35:01.880
people in the public eye, but in my own personal life, are there 150 people that I personally know
00:35:08.380
who I, who I could name them all? I'm not even sure that I could. And yeah, you could have
00:35:13.220
meaningful relationships and friendships with 150. No, it's, I what's, what's the real, how many
00:35:18.820
meaningful lasting, cause I think in order to be a friendship, it has to be that meaningful and
00:35:26.040
lasting, um, relationships. Can you have outside of your own family? I'm going to put the number at,
00:35:32.760
I don't know, two, three, maybe, maybe a little bit more than that.
00:35:41.760
This is another thing we've seen in our culture is this cheapening of the idea of, of friends.
00:35:45.900
And I think, um, I think even though this original idea of 150 friends came before the advent of social
00:35:51.620
media, still the advent of social media has pushed this along, uh, because we talk about, you know,
00:35:57.340
your friends on Facebook and the people that you follow on Twitter or Instagram or whatever,
00:36:02.760
and yeah, you could have thousands and thousands of people, but none of them are actually your
00:36:06.200
friends. You don't have any actual connection, no intimate relationship with any of them.
00:36:10.700
Um, and so if you, if you take a very shallow idea of friendship, then sure, the sky's the limit,
00:36:17.080
but a friendship means something. I'm going to say, I'll put it at two. You can have two friends,
00:36:22.660
pick your two and that's it. All right, let's move now to reading the YouTube comments. This is from
00:36:27.000
username ethanol, uh, says, imagine the scene. It's the middle of a war. It's raining bullets.
00:36:32.700
The entire U S army has crawled up in a corner crying, but how the enemy is misgendering them.
00:36:37.220
It's safe to say that we are completely doomed. Um, yeah, well that, that assumes that
00:36:43.720
when whatever superpower comes to invade us and conquer us, that we would actually fight back
00:36:49.380
at all, which I'm not sure that, uh, that that would happen at this point. OJ H says, I'm in the
00:36:56.700
break room at work, listening to coworkers talk about how they disagree with the new order that
00:37:00.560
vaccinated people shouldn't wear masks. They're saying, what about flu season? And I'm afraid
00:37:04.960
to not wear one. No joke. We knew this would happen though. Yeah, we did. Uh, that's, that's a lot of
00:37:11.060
people there. You, you heard Rachel Maddow say, and she's actually right about that, that, uh, that
00:37:16.560
people's brains have been rewired in this way that for a lot of people, it gives them anxiety. Now
00:37:25.120
think about how deeply someone has to have been affected that now to simply see another person's
00:37:34.220
face calls that causes them real anxiety and anger. So Rachel Maddow was saying, she is anxious and
00:37:42.560
afraid and, and angry when she sees another person's bare face and she starts to make all these assumptions
00:37:49.020
about them. She's admitting that, but she doesn't really see a problem with it. It's a huge problem.
00:37:56.800
Um, Christian says, Matt sounded so white reading Tori's tweets, the way he said effed around and found
00:38:04.560
out was hilarious. Well, I don't consider sounding white to be an insult to me. I am white. So
00:38:08.560
whatever. Uh, I'm not sure exactly what you mean. I think I did sound intimidating.
00:38:13.280
Gosh, dang it. You big goofball. You're going to F around and find out, mister. You're telling me
00:38:20.000
that's not intimidating. Come on. Uh, J A says, I hit the like button because I appreciate a man who
00:38:26.680
takes charge and tells me what to do. Tomato Joe says, I wasn't going to like, but then Matt started
00:38:32.060
yelling and I panicked. I may not like it, but it's effective. Yeah. You know what? I started doing
00:38:37.100
this new strategy instead of begging people to hit like demanding it. And I got to say over the last
00:38:43.700
two shows, you can go and check yourself on YouTube if you want. The like ratio is way up. It's like
00:38:49.400
doubled. I think I've cracked the code. You don't ask people to hit like you, you, you, you demand
00:38:57.260
hit like, like now do it. We'll see. We'll see if we can keep this going. Imagine someone coming in
00:39:08.760
just at that moment with no context and how insane I would sound and look. But then again, even with
00:39:13.800
the context, I sound and look insane, uh, just in general, I suppose. And, uh, finally, Chris Schwartz
00:39:20.280
says, Hey Matt, I'm a foot. I'm a youth football coach. I've honestly never seen a kid get, get a,
00:39:24.180
get a concussion. You would be surprised what kind of hits they can take. But in saying that I would
00:39:28.720
also take that as an extremely good coaching opportunity. I've always coached my kids head
00:39:32.740
has to, got to stay up. In fact, a kid lowers his head on my team. He's running laps. I preach that
00:39:37.100
head up all times, proper tackling. If I was coaching them kids, that smaller kid would definitely
00:39:42.640
have been able to tackle him and he would have have the right form. Both of them had their heads up.
00:39:47.660
If not, they both would have been running laps. The problem with youth football is the coaching.
00:39:52.000
Yeah. We played the clip of the, uh, from some sort of youth football league, I think here
00:39:58.060
locally in, in Tennessee, at least of, um, uh, a tackling drill drill among really young
00:40:03.640
kids. And, uh, the coach is filming it and laughing while the one kid who's way outmatched
00:40:08.440
and doesn't have proper form gets blown up head helmet to helmet contact smacks his head
00:40:13.740
on the ground. Uh, you know, brain injury written all over a hit like that. I looked it up after
00:40:19.180
the show and apparently, um, uh, apparently this is from a year ago and I don't know why
00:40:25.780
the clip is making the rounds now, but it's from a year ago. And, uh, I, and, and the coach
00:40:30.980
did get fired after that. So I, I, I am always hesitant to say that people should lose their
00:40:39.120
jobs, but something like that. Yeah. You're, you are amused by possible head trauma to very
00:40:45.560
young children. Uh, yeah, I would say, you don't belong, you don't belong in coaching football.
00:40:49.400
You really don't belong around kids at all. I would say, you know, if there's one thing that
00:40:53.080
authoritarians don't know, it's that they're being authoritarian, perhaps, uh, they see virtue while
00:40:58.360
we see it for what it really is. A bunch of delusional elites determined to strip us of our
00:41:02.240
freedoms. And the less we want to live under their identity obsessed mob rule, it's important
00:41:05.980
that we know how to stop them. That's why Ben Shapiro wrote his new book,
00:41:09.200
the authoritarian moment in it. He gives some background on how we got here and tips on how to fight
00:41:14.280
back. So if you want to preserve your individual rights and protect the ones you love from mob
00:41:18.740
rule, the authoritarian moment is now available for pre-order, uh, at Amazon, Barnes and Noble,
00:41:23.600
or any other major bookseller. Also, if you're a fan of watching Candace drop some truth bombs,
00:41:29.300
now's your chance to see her in action tickets to join Candace's live show, uh, live studio audience.
00:41:34.020
I've actually been asked about this many times. How do you get in to watch the show? Well, here it is.
00:41:37.920
Uh, so you can stop bugging me. Damn it. You can go, uh, they're available only to all access
00:41:43.040

00:41:48.300

00:41:52.960

00:41:57.380
demand. So spots will go fast. Again, just head to dailywire.com slash tickets to be a part of an
00:42:02.280
experience. So beautiful. It'll bring a, bring a tear to a leftist eye. All right, let's get now to
00:42:07.600
our daily cancellation. So today we consider another case of somebody getting canceled, uh,
00:42:15.180
after things they posted on the internet a long time ago, resurface as always. The term resurface
00:42:20.380
is an intentionally, but dishonestly passive way of phrasing. And it makes it sound like the thing was
00:42:25.000
locked in a chest under the sea and happened to lodge itself loose and, you know, bubble to the
00:42:29.700
surface. Sort of like in the movie, the mask for any aficionados of nineties, Jim Carrey films.
00:42:34.240
In any case, the point is that this is not a passive or accidental process.
00:42:38.420
Actual humans have to go looking for this stuff and then they have to find it and they have to
00:42:42.220
spread it around all for the express purpose of destroying the life of another human.
00:42:46.760
And this time the target was American Idol contestant, Caleb Kennedy. I must admit that I
00:42:52.320
never heard of Caleb Kennedy before. And honestly, I didn't know that American Idol was still on the
00:42:56.780
air. I really, I thought it went off the air years ago, but apparently it is on the air and
00:43:01.060
Caleb Kennedy was on the air until now. The New York post has a story quote, American Idol top
00:43:07.060
five finalist, Caleb Kennedy has left the show after a video surface showing him next to someone
00:43:11.840
wearing what appears to be a Ku Klux Klan hood. The representative for the show confirmed to the
00:43:17.040
post that Kennedy will no longer be moving forward in the competition. The singer 16 posted a statement
00:43:21.480
about his departure on Instagram on Wednesday. He said, quote, Hey y'all, this is going to be a bit
00:43:25.780
of a surprise, but I'm no longer going to be on American Idol. There was a video that surfaced on the
00:43:29.620
internet and it displays actions that were not meant to be taken in that way. I was younger and
00:43:33.980
did not think about the actions, but that's not an excuse. I want to say sorry to all my fans and
00:43:37.740
everyone who I've let down. I'll be taking a little time off social media to better myself, but saying
00:43:41.820
that I know this has hurt and disappointed a lot of people and made less people lose respect for me.
00:43:45.680
I'm so sorry. I pray that I can one day regain your trust in who I am and have your respect.
00:43:50.040
Thank you for supporting me. Now, um, Kennedy, Kennedy's mother has come out and clarified that the video
00:43:55.760
doesn't depict a Klan hood. Kennedy is with a friend who's wearing a costume inspired by a movie
00:44:02.300
they've both seen. There was a movie called the strangers pray at night. And sure enough, you can go
00:44:07.380
look it up. You'll find if you do that the main bad guy wears a white hood and not a Klan hood, just a
00:44:14.520
white scary hood. And it also came out at around the time that the video was taken. So the story seems to
00:44:21.640
line up. Speaking of which, Caleb Kennedy is currently 16 years old. That movie came out
00:44:28.840
four years ago. The video was taken then when he was 12, 12 years old. He had to leave the show
00:44:37.440
because of a video from when he was 12. Think about that for a moment. If there's going to be
00:44:43.200
any controversy stemming from that video, it should really be that his mom shouldn't have let him watch
00:44:48.000
a rated R slasher film at the age of 12. But aside from that, there's nothing here. In fact,
00:44:53.980
let's pretend for a moment that Caleb really was sitting next to a friend who really was joking
00:44:58.760
around and pretending to wear a Klan hood. He wasn't, but what if he was? So they were 12. I repeat
00:45:04.600
again, 12 years old. It is the height of both absurdity and cruelty to hold someone responsible
00:45:10.120
for a joke they made at the age of 12. Insult to injury in this case is that very clearly the joke
00:45:16.240
had nothing to do with the KKK. Caleb Kennedy had not a thing to apologize for. He hasn't
00:45:22.180
disappointed anyone, let anyone down. He hasn't hurt anyone's feelings. And if he has hurt anyone's
00:45:29.020
feelings, screw them. Who cares? Their feelings are irrelevant. I'm glad their feelings are. I hope
00:45:36.280
their feelings are more hurt. It is everyone else who owes him an apology.
00:45:44.420
You know, for doing this to a kid, for putting him in this position.
00:45:51.060
And normally my policy, as you know, is to not defend any canceled person who apologizes.
00:45:56.980
But I make an exception here because even now the kid is only 16.
00:46:01.780
I can no more hold him responsible for mishandling a PR crisis at 16 than I can for a supposedly,
00:46:07.560
but not really offensive joke. He made it 12. There are things that we should hold kids accountable
00:46:14.160
for. Things like, for example, carjacking and murdering someone as those two teen girls in DC
00:46:18.600
did, though the court system in that case is just giving them a slap on the wrist. Yet a sane society
00:46:23.800
would not hold kids accountable at all, in any serious or public way at least, for jokes they make
00:46:30.300
or opinions they express. We, however, are not a sane society. Or maybe that's letting us off the
00:46:37.360
hook. Because I oftentimes, as a kind of verbal shorthand, will call things crazy or insane.
00:46:43.640
I feel like this is the most common words you hear on this show. But really, oftentimes the things that
00:46:50.260
I'm calling crazy or insane are neither of those things in reality. Much of this is considered
00:46:57.120
an intentional cruelty. For many in the cancel mob, they get a thrill out of tearing somebody down
00:47:04.820
and watching them crash and burn. Even a kid. There are many in this country who are failures in their
00:47:10.820
own lives. And they're lonely and they're miserable. And they've achieved nothing of note. They have no
00:47:15.600
talents. They have no skills. They have no ambitions. They have no plans for the future.
00:47:20.260
They do nothing with their life. They sit around watching TV and on the internet. That's all they do.
00:47:24.580
Staring at screens. They live pointless, empty, despairing, awful lives of their own making.
00:47:31.420
They feel powerless and forgotten and nearly non-existent because they're losers. And the
00:47:36.000
world doesn't pay attention to them and shouldn't pay attention to them because they have nothing
00:47:39.660
interesting to say or anything valuable to offer. And so for these miserable, wretched, nothing,
00:47:45.600
things, the only way that they can feel an approximation of joy is to destroy someone
00:47:51.940
else's joy. The only way they can feel power is to cut someone else down. A kid on American Idol,
00:47:59.580
top five, living his dream, achieving remarkable things at the age of 16, hasn't hurt anybody.
00:48:07.260
And these people hate him for it and were eager for any chance to cut him down to size.
00:48:12.840
Nothing personal, really. When the cancel mob comes for you, it's not because of you.
00:48:18.200
It's because of them. You're a blade of grass that poked its head a little too far above the rest.
00:48:22.900
And these other withered little blades down in the dirt want to make themselves feel taller by
00:48:28.440
bringing you down closer to them. That's what drives much of the cancel culture. Envy, misery,
00:48:33.980
resentment. A tale as old as time. But there's also plenty of cowardice driving it, too.
00:48:39.380
Institutions have to bend to the whims of these losers. American Idol could have easily stuck by
00:48:45.880
their guy, told the mob to get lost and say, hey, listen, shut up. He was a kid. Just stop.
00:48:51.840
But that would require some tiny semblance of moral courage. And that's too much to ask for.
00:48:58.680
And completing the picture, there's also ideology and politics feeding into it.
00:49:01.960
Caleb Kennedy is a white male. Anytime a white male can be painted as a racist, it's considered a win
00:49:08.340
by the left. Whether the white male actually is racist is, of course, irrelevant. So all of these
00:49:14.040
factors converge and together they create the unholy concoction that we know as cancel culture.
00:49:19.740
And for that reason, perhaps somewhat ironically, all of those involved in this are certainly
00:49:26.880
canceled. And we will leave it there for the day and the week. I hope you have a great weekend.
