The Matt Walsh Show - Ep. 722 - Stop Waiting For Permission To Live Your Life

00:00:00.000 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 0.92

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

00:01:32.120 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 0.90

00:02:20.860 and a hamburger from Shake Shack. Or, you know, you could just pay the $6 and buy it yourself. 0.54

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

00:03:17.920 about vaccination rate this moment.

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. 0.56

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, 1.00

00:04:23.020 and therefore a frivolous and stupid incentive might push them in the other direction. The whole 1.00

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. 0.93

00:04:59.740 Here she is making the announcement.

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 0.97

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 0.90

00:08:08.960 like a damned warthog. The most disgusting thing has been all of the people tearfully thanking the CDC 0.99

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 0.99

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,

00:10:00.120 but I don't even know where it is.

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 0.51

00:10:37.560 vaccinated. I mean, we're going to have to rewire the way that we look at each other. 0.96

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 0.93

00:11:17.500 it there, Rachel. Just say, I'm mentally ill, which yes, we know. We know you are. But there's 0.98

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.

00:14:48.780 I got nothing else going but this beard. But you know, if you have a great beard, that's all you need.

00:15:55.300 uh, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, you know, she has it pretty rough. Um, there's, you know, 0.97

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 1.00

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 1.00

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 0.62

00:17:47.140 representative Ocasio-Cortez tried to walk away, Congresswoman Greene began screaming and called 0.99

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 1.00

00:18:12.960 hallway? Doing cartwheels like some kind of ninja? Her attacks. We got to keep everyone safe. 0.99

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.

00:18:50.540 You got to call in security for that.

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 0.98

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, 0.94

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 1.00

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 1.00

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 0.97

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 1.00

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 0.94

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 1.00

00:32:00.100 and, you know, gets abortions and kills her kids to escape the consequence. We're supposed to 1.00

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. 0.84

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 1.00

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,

00:42:07.600 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 0.97

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 0.95

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. 0.57

00:47:31.420 They feel powerless and forgotten and nearly non-existent because they're losers. And the 1.00

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, 0.90

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 0.98

00:48:45.880 their guy, told the mob to get lost and say, hey, listen, shut up. He was a kid. Just stop. 0.99

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.

00:49:32.020 I'll talk to you on Monday. Godspeed.
