More major cities and state are imposing draconian mandates segregating the unvaccinated from society. This must be done because we re all in this together, they say. Also, the data on Omnicorn keeps coming in and all of it indicates that there s no reason to panic. Plus, Louis C.K. has a new comedy special out. The left says that this somehow proves that cancel culture isn t real. Is that true?

00:00:00.000Today on The Matt Walsh Show, more major cities and state draconian mandates segregating the
00:00:04.120unvaxxed from society. This must be done because we're all in this together, they say. Also,
00:00:08.360the data on Omnicorn keeps coming in and all of it indicates that there's no reason to panic.
00:00:12.260Just don't tell the media that. Plus, Louis C.K. has a new comedy special out. The left says that
00:00:16.060this somehow proves that cancel culture isn't real. Is that true? Plus, in our daily cancellation,
00:00:20.220we'll deal with the social media influencer who recorded a choreographed dance routine
00:00:23.960in the hospital with her severely sick newborn baby. All of that and more today on The Matt
00:00:28.320Walsh Show. You know, it took me a while before I really started thinking about life insurance

00:01:42.940people screaming at us that we're all in this together. But it's also been clear from the beginning
00:01:47.480that some asterisks were needed, you know, for that phrase. Actually, every word needs one.
00:01:54.120What do they mean by we? Who is we? And what do they mean by in this? In what exactly? And in what
00:02:00.320sense are we, whoever we are, in whatever we're in, together? These questions are left unanswered,
00:02:06.220but the powers that be continue to insist on this framing in ways and in contexts that are increasingly
00:02:12.020creepy and Orwellian. So case in point, just yesterday, Boston Mayor Michelle Wu became the
00:02:17.260latest big city mayor to impose strict vaccine mandates that will exclude unvaccinated people
00:02:22.660to include young children from participation in pretty much every aspect of everyday life.
00:02:28.700She's calling this policy her Be Together initiative. That's really what they're calling it.
00:02:34.620A policy which segregates thousands of city residents from everybody else and prevents them from
00:02:39.860participating in society is called the Be Together initiative. Here she is explaining it.
00:02:44.880Today, we're announcing that Boston will be implementing a requirement for proof of COVID-19
00:02:49.660vaccination for certain indoor spaces, which we're calling our Be Together initiative.
00:02:55.920Be Together will require proof of vaccination to enter indoor dining. Well, three categories,
00:03:02.460just so you can keep the count. First, indoor dining, including bars and restaurants.
00:03:07.220Secondly, indoor fitness venues, such as gyms. And third, indoor entertainment, recreational and event
00:03:14.880venues, such as theater shows or sports games. Starting January 15th, customers or patrons ages 12
00:03:23.820and up and employees at these locations will be required to show proof that they've received at least
00:03:29.880one dose of one dose of the vaccine. And this will phase into requiring two doses on February 15th.
00:03:36.380We're also setting dates for children to be vaccinated to enter these spaces beginning in March.
00:03:43.120Yes, we're going to bar them from certain indoor spaces to include all of them, you know, all of the indoor spaces.
00:03:49.580But we must all be together. Yeah, we must all be together. Now, get the hell out, you sick, filthy bastards.
00:03:56.780Quite an inspiring message. And it's a message that we're hearing with increasing regularity and ferocity,
00:04:01.360supposedly in response to the Omnicorn variant. But the attempt to fear monger over Omnicorn has gone wrong
00:04:07.680in some kind of hilarious ways. Just this morning, CNN brought the CEO of Northwell Health on the air,
00:04:13.460which runs dozens of hospitals in the New York area. And instead of getting the scary message they were
00:04:19.480clearly hoping for, instead, the guy can hardly keep himself from yawning as he discusses the very
00:04:24.960mild COVID situation in New York at the moment. Listen. Yeah, we're doing very, very well. Very
00:04:31.540manageable. There's no crisis. So let me just give you a little bit of perspective. We have right now
00:04:38.240about 460 patients in our hospitals. That's less than 10% of our overall capacity. And this time last
00:04:47.800year, during the second wave, we had almost a thousand cases this time last year. And compared
00:04:55.700to where we were back in the first wave, we had 3,500 patients in our hospitals. So when you look at the
00:05:03.180numbers today, they're relatively modest. And that have been increasing, you know, relatively slowly since
00:05:09.680Thanksgiving. We do expect an increase now over the holidays, but it is all manageable. We will be able to deal
00:05:17.480with this. And I think it's time for people to get be a little bit calm, you know, a little bit more rational. And
00:05:25.140while the positivity rate in the community is increasing dramatically, that does not mean that they
00:05:30.800automatically convert into hospitalizations. I mean, I love that. It's, you know, it's like everyone
00:05:37.000be calm. Everything's fine. There's no problem. And my favorite part is the CNN anchor visibly
00:05:42.720pouting. You could see him. He's pouting as he's told that there's no crisis. Everything's fine.
00:05:48.280Like, no, people really aren't dying from this very much. And everything's fine. We've got plenty of
00:05:54.460hospital beds. And this guy, he's, he's distraught. I feel bad for him. I mean, I'm sorry, CNN anchor,
00:06:02.900that more people aren't dying from this. I know it's tough for you. Tough break for CNN. Really
00:06:06.540sorry about that. But this isn't going to stop the power mad despots like Mayor Wu or de Blasio or
00:06:12.920Biden or Fauci or any of the rest of them from ranting about the dangers, the winter of sickness and
00:06:17.600death that's upon us and instituting more Orwellian policies all under the guise of we're all in this
00:06:23.780together. Let's stay together, be together. But what does that really mean? Well, when they say it,
00:06:29.460we must understand that coming from them, we means you. And this refers not to COVID, but to their
00:06:36.520control. And together is not intended to be understood as any sort of consensual unity.
00:06:41.660They mean together in the way that hostages during a bank robbery might be together, bound at gunpoint.
00:06:48.240So we're in this together means you are under their control. And that's how they can justify
00:06:53.760segregation, division, separation, exclusion in the name of togetherness. We can still be together
00:07:00.960in the sense that they mean the phrase, even as we're divided like wheat from the chaff. And some
00:07:05.900portion of us are cast into the furnace. And yet, as we look around, we see that another just today,
00:07:12.120another well-known Democrat, this time disgraced pervert, Katie Hill, used to be in Congress,
00:07:17.280but she couldn't have, she couldn't stop having sex with her, with her staff members.
00:07:20.260And now she's not in Congress anymore. She was diagnosed today with COVID. She is double
00:07:25.060vaxxed and boosted. She joined Senator Elizabeth Warren, who was triple jabbed,
00:07:29.640still came up positive for COVID this week. Senator Cory Booker, another one. CNBC host Jim
00:07:34.320Kramer is down with COVID now too, despite having three shots. Democrat representative Jason Crowe has
00:07:40.260COVID now too, along with his three shots of the vaccine. This is all just this week.
00:07:44.880An outbreak in Congress happening at the same time as an outbreak in the NFL among fully vaccinated
00:07:51.840NFL players. Lots of people who've gotten three doses of the vaccine in less than a year are getting
00:07:58.960sick. But we can't ask any questions about that. You know, I recently had to go and get a tetanus
00:08:05.780booster after getting a rusty nail stuck in my foot, which wasn't a really fun experience. But they
00:08:13.000recommended it because it had been more than 10 years after my last shot. And that makes sense to
00:08:18.660me. A booster after 10 years makes sense. Okay. I get that conceptually. I can understand how,
00:08:24.580and I understand how you would call that a booster. But a booster after six months?
00:08:32.100Is that a booster shot or more of a, wait, this isn't working. Let's try another one shot.
00:08:36.540Is it a booster or a do-over? That's a question. But these are questions we're not allowed to ask.
00:08:44.800Whatever you call the third shot or the first two, it's clear enough that people who got all three
00:08:49.500shots or two shots are contracting and spreading the disease. Lots of them are. The vaccine doesn't
00:08:56.720stop transmission. If there's compelling evidence that the vaccine even significantly slows transmission,
00:09:02.420I haven't seen it, though I'd love to see it if it exists. That's why the vaccine mandates are not
00:09:07.920reasonable. I mean, leaving aside the ethical issues and the constitutional issues, those small
00:09:13.060details, these measures are not a rational response to the situation because vaccinated people are
00:09:20.140spreading it also. We are all potential carriers. We can all catch it and spread it. As it is written,
00:09:29.000there is no one righteous, not even one. Well, it might also be written that there is no one immune
00:09:33.480from spreading COVID, not even one. They want to separate us into classes of clean and unclean,
00:09:39.440but it turns out that I guess we're all unclean. And maybe there's a certain beauty in that,
00:09:45.080a certain unity. Because it turns out they were right all along, though not for the reasons they
00:09:52.200thought. We really are all in this together, I guess. Now let's get to our five headlines.
00:09:59.000Well, you might not know that the garage is the most frequently accessed entry to most people's
00:10:10.420homes, but even in spite of that, it's often overlooked. The garage is still where people,
00:10:15.960you know, come and go, and they also keep a lot of their most prized possessions there,
00:10:19.840including cars, tools, and bikes, and everything else. So it's just kind of common sense to know
00:10:24.260what's going on inside the garage. Introducing the MyQ smart camera by Chamberlain, the only

00:11:22.880this is just really important with all the fear mongering going on in the media. Even if you know
00:11:29.980better, it's easy to fall victim to it because the more this is drilled into your head, after a while,
00:11:37.920it kind of breaks down your defenses. But that's why we have to continue to highlight the fact
00:11:45.180that when we're talking about Omnicorn, it's extremely mild illness, according to all the
00:11:53.340data that we have. And according to the, this is how you could tell the real like public health
00:11:57.360experts, the real doctors from the fake ones, because the real doctors are on TV saying, look,
00:12:03.700this is not a big deal for most people. And then you see how that message gets filtered through
00:12:10.480people like Fauci and the way that he interprets that. So here is, this is in the New York Post
00:12:17.100talking about the telltale symptoms of the surging Omnicorn variant. It says a noted British doctor
00:12:26.140is highlighting several symptoms that distinguish the Omnicorn variant from the common cold and even
00:12:30.540other strains of COVID-19, including drenching night sweats. Dr. Amir Khan described the distinguishing
00:12:36.740episodes as those kinds of drenching night sweats where you might have to get up and change your
00:12:40.920clothes. The other telltale symptoms of Omnicorn are a scratchy throat, as opposed to a sore one,
00:12:47.180a dry cough, fatigue, and muscle aches. He said, quote, this is important. It's important that we keep
00:12:55.480on top of these symptoms. If we're going to track Omnicorn and track it worldwide, we need to be able
00:12:59.520to test people with these symptoms. So those are the, um, the telltale signs of the Omnicorn variant
00:13:06.380that your night sweats, which I mean, that's, that's unpleasant when you wake up at night and,
00:13:11.900uh, you're, you're drenched with, with sweat, a scratchy throat. You're tired. You have some sore
00:13:18.880muscle aches. Now I know they say that this, this is what distinguishes it from the common cold,
00:13:24.400but the fact that you can confuse it, the fact that so many people might confuse it with the
00:13:29.840common cold, I think tells you something. Because to me, I read this and this sounds like a relatively
00:13:36.620mild illness. This, this is basically a cold. That's what it is. Uh, for all intents and purposes,
00:13:44.760for most people. And again, the doctor who originally alerted the world about, uh, the Omnicorn
00:13:51.920variant, she has been ever, ever since then, you know, she, she did the right thing. It's like,
00:13:57.520this is a variant that's out there. Let's tell people about it. And that was the right thing to
00:14:01.200do. But then the world freaked out. And ever since then, she's been on TV saying there, everyone
00:14:06.920calmed down. This is not a, it's not a big, it's really not anything to panic over. So she was also
00:14:13.240on CNN. She was with the, uh, with the same anchor, I think John Berman, um, talking about the
00:14:19.060situation in South Africa right now, after Omnicorn surged through, swept through. And
00:14:26.000that's, there's only been a couple of weeks. I mean, we first heard about this right around
00:14:29.060Thanksgiving and what's the situation right now? Because keep something else in mind.
00:14:33.940When you look at the hospital data, the, uh, mortality, we looked at some of those graphs
00:14:39.720yesterday, some of those, um, some of those charts, and you can see that there's a very distinct
00:14:44.840separation between cases and hospitalizations and deaths because cases, yeah, cases are surging.
00:14:51.060That line is going up. Okay. That graph is that's some, that's a mountain right there.
00:14:56.380Uh, that's like a mountainous peak of cases, but then you look at hospitalizations and death
00:15:02.080and they're all the way down here. They're lagging far behind.
00:15:05.960If you go back a year ago, you'll find that obviously the cases, the, the hospitalization
00:15:14.120and death line was much lower than the cases line, but they were tracking in, in, in kind
00:15:18.420of the same direction as cases went up. So did if cases, if there was a dramatic rise in cases,
00:15:24.160there'd be a dramatic rise in hospitalizations and deaths. We're not seeing that right now.
00:15:28.080Thank God. But one thing that we're told from the panic porn peddlers is that, well,
00:15:35.760hospitalizations and death deaths, they, they lag behind cases. So just because we're seeing,
00:15:43.620we're not seeing that a bunch of people are dying right now, that doesn't mean that they
00:15:46.940won't die in the future. They tell us hopefully, because that's what they want. They actually,
00:15:53.320they want people to die of this so they can continue selling the fear. But that's why I think
00:15:59.480it's important to go to South Africa. Okay. If it's, it's been, it's been several weeks now.
00:16:02.980And, um, if, um, hospitalizations and deaths lag behind cases, then we should see now in South
00:16:10.380Africa, after this thing tore through the country, we should see that, uh, people are dying left and
00:16:15.700right. Is that the case? Let's check in with the doctor.
00:16:18.760Doctor, we're thrilled to have you because I think in the United States, we can learn a lot
00:16:23.880about your experience over the last month. You've been dealing with this now for quite a long time.
00:16:29.440We're just beginning to deal with it now. So I just want to start with cases. What are you seeing
00:16:34.720in terms of the number of cases at this point? Up, down, stable, what?
00:16:41.800Um, good, um, good afternoon. Uh, yes, it's very interesting question. What we currently see is our
00:16:48.760cases is sort of, um, we're over the curve. It's sort of coming down. So, um, you know,
00:16:54.600in Gauteng, we, which was the epicenter, the numbers much lower, uh, it is, however, still
00:17:01.460spreading to the Eastern, Western Cape and KwaZulu-Natal because of the holidays. Um, but,
00:17:06.880you know, all over in, in total, if you look at our numbers, it's, it's, it's going down.
00:17:11.820Our positivity rate still stays high. It's about, um, around about 30%. And the reason is that
00:17:17.100people go and dissed. Okay. So that's what we hear. It's, there's a very steep drop-off in cases
00:17:24.060and then that's cases. But then when we go over to deaths, which they talk about later, in fact,
00:17:28.240I can look at the graph right now in South Africa, they have a seven day average, um, of deaths at 44
00:17:34.900in the entire country. And for comparison sake, you can look back at January last year in the winter
00:17:41.620year. And their seven day average was five at its peak. The seven day average was 577. So peak of
00:17:50.680577, seven day average. And now they're down to 44 after this dreaded variant of Omnicorn ripped
00:17:59.160through the country and got everybody sick. This is all very, very positive news. If, if you are
00:18:06.540irrational and moral person and you don't want people to die and you actually want to be past
00:18:13.820all of this, then this is very good news. As I've been saying for weeks now, this to me as a non
00:18:20.200public health expert and as a non-doctor. Okay. I don't, I don't claim to I'm unlike Fauci. I'm not
00:18:27.340going to sit here and say that if you disagree with me, you're disagreeing with the science. I don't
00:18:30.520claim to be an avatar for science, a representative of science, um, because nobody can be, but even I
00:18:36.700can look at this information and see that, well, this could be the end. This could be COVID's end
00:18:43.620game. This is a positive development. What I just read was now they think that it's something like
00:18:52.88070% of all COVID cases in America. I believe I'd have to check that again, but I'm pretty sure it's
00:18:59.160around 70% of all cases in America right now are the Omicor variant. So this is the dominant strain
00:19:05.240in America. Now that tells you how infectious this thing is, that it was able to sweep through that
00:19:13.740quickly, but we haven't seen this stark rise in deaths. Okay. So that, that tells us again,
00:19:20.700it's very, it's very mild and that's a, that's a good thing. COVID becomes a, basically a mild cold
00:19:27.260that it's, it's out there and it's kind of seasonal and people get it and they, most of them get over
00:19:31.340it and then you're fine. Um, on, uh, on COVID, I want to show you this as well. I don't know if
00:19:39.300you're ready to meet this person. This is the most pathetic man potentially in the history of the
00:19:44.280internet. And I know that's quite a statement, but I think he's in the running anyway. He's,
00:19:49.140he's in the competition. So this is a guy walking through an airport. Do we have these, uh,
00:19:51.900pictures? Um, Oh, here we go. So this guy's name is Aiden. And by the way, of course he has his
00:19:59.660pronouns listed in his bio. I didn't have to tell you that. And you can't really see his picture
00:20:03.280there very well, but he looks exactly as you expect him to look. And, uh, he says spotted in
00:20:08.580the United terminal at a San Francisco airport. I've been in four airports this week and far from
00:20:14.420travelers, far more travelers flaunt the mask regulations in us airports versus the Canadian
00:20:19.540ones. I hope I'm not sitting next to her on this red eye. And then you see a woman who's just
00:20:23.740like sitting on the phone, uh, without a mask on. And so he's taking a picture of this woman to
00:20:29.060publicly shame her. And by the way, he posted this to Twitter. This is against the rules. Now
00:20:33.620this is supposed to be against the rules to take up. They, they very, they were very explicit about
00:20:37.140this to take a picture of someone and post it without their consent is against the rules to get
00:20:41.620your band, but he's walking through the whole airport and take a picture. Then he gets another guy,
00:20:46.220man watching something on his tablet at gate E4. So there's just a guy watching something on his
00:20:53.500tablet and he's taking a picture of this guy, no consent. And he gets, there's another guy. He
00:20:58.040takes a picture of him. I think there's one in the airplane as well. So he's just walking through
00:21:03.140man with stylish backpack between gates E4 and F5. So he's given the exact, exact coordinates of these
00:21:09.820maskless people at the airport. I don't know for what reason does he think the FBI is going to swoop
00:21:14.580in. I'm not sure what exactly he's trying to accomplish. Um, and then he's got man, super
00:21:20.520spreader gate F5. That guy is a super spreader. Aiden has decided, of course, his name is Aiden,
00:21:27.460by the way, everything about this. When I first saw that, I think this is, I thought this gotta
00:21:30.480be some kind of parody. There's no way this is too perfect. A guy named Aiden with a mustache
00:21:34.900and pronouns in his bio, walking through the airport, crying as he takes pictures of maskless people.
00:21:40.680Um, but it's not a parody. This appears to be completely real. And he's just determined that
00:21:47.040he's also decided by the way, that all of these people are sick. And he goes on and on and on.
00:21:52.080How many pictures are there? He's now he's taking pictures of minors, of kids, posting them online
00:21:56.400without consent. This is perfectly okay. Twitter's not going to take this down. All right. So we get
00:22:01.460the idea. Um, and he's, he's decided that all of these people are sick. This is the way that his,
00:22:08.760his, his broken brain works now or does or fails to work. That every single person he sees,
00:22:16.100if he sees their face in public, they are direct threat to him and they're all sick and they're all
00:22:23.260super spreaders. I mean, that one guy was sitting by himself. There's no one else around.
00:22:26.300And, and, uh, but he's a, he's now a super spreader.
00:22:32.720This is along with a mental illness. This is also pure cowardice. You know, C.S. Lewis said that,
00:22:39.100that courage is the form of every virtue at its testing point.
00:22:44.720And, uh, which means that, you know, you, you can't, you can't really have any other virtue if you
00:22:51.260don't have courage because in order to, in order to, um, act upon any virtue in order to be virtuous,
00:23:00.180then you, that also requires courage to act in that way. So then what does it mean when we become
00:23:08.640a country of cowards, when we become a country like this with, with me, I hesitate to even call
00:23:14.880them a man, only in a bi, only in the biological sense to see a man. But what does that mean?
00:23:20.860And if we become a country of cowards, it means that we have no virtue at all.
00:23:24.220You get rid of, uh, courage, you get rid of all virtues.
00:23:29.200And these are people who are not only cowardly, but they have no shame. I mean,
00:23:34.980there have always been cowards in the world, right? But in the past, you'd, you'd be ashamed
00:23:39.940of your cowardice. You wouldn't want to advertise it. If you found yourself walking through a public
00:23:46.720area, uh, shaking like a leaf in fear because you're afraid someone's going to get you sick
00:23:54.880in the past, you might have that experience if you're a very cowardly person, but you keep it to
00:24:00.620yourself. You wouldn't want other people to know. Now you've got people like Aiden advertising their
00:24:08.440cowardice for all, for everyone to see. They're proud of it. They're proud of being fearful cowards.
00:24:17.480That has become its own in our upside down world. That has become its own virtue.
00:24:22.540Now it's almost as though cowardice is the, is the form of every virtue at its testing point.
00:24:29.060All right, let's move on to this. Kim Potter's trial went to a jury deliberations yesterday. She's
00:24:33.940the officer who shot Dante Wright. And, um, uh, jury went to deliberations yesterday, did not come to a
00:24:42.020verdict. Here she is. I just want to play this for you. This is a couple of days ago during her
00:24:45.840testimony. She decided to take the stand and, um, in, in her own defense. And here she is kind of
00:24:53.180describing the scene. And when you watch this describing what happened with Dante Wright.
00:24:58.480And when you watch this, you gotta, you gotta think, okay, is this a remorseless killer?
00:25:05.160Is this someone who really, who we feel needs to be punished in addition to the psychological and
00:25:13.200emotional torment that she's experiencing? I don't know. You watch this and, uh, you decide.
00:25:17.300Did you say anything when you saw this? What did you do? We were struggling. We were trying to keep
00:25:29.040him from driving away. It just, it just went chaotic. I, it, and then I remember yelling,
00:25:46.580taser, taser, taser, taser, and nothing happened. And, uh, she, there are many scenes like that when
00:26:01.980she was testifying. She was just totally broken, um, by this experience. Uh, that's, that's pretty
00:26:11.780clearly not acting. I mean, this is someone who's, who's devastated. She's a, a normal woman.
00:26:18.180That's all. It's like a normal person who was thrown into this situation and, uh, and did make
00:26:25.840a mistake. Like, nobody's denying that in this, in this case. Um, I, I still think that that would
00:26:34.120have been the best defense actually would have been to say, well, I did it on purpose, but she's being
00:26:39.680honest. And there's also no getting around it because she says on, on, on tape that it was,
00:26:43.900that it was an accident. So she acknowledges that. But, um, if, if, if it were possible to say that
00:26:51.900this was, that this was done intentionally, then there'd be no case at all. Because when you're
00:26:57.340dealing with a violent suspect who is fighting back against you and then tries to climb back into
00:27:02.420a vehicle, uh, I think you have every right to shoot him because you don't know if he's grabbing
00:27:08.100for something, you, you know, he's wanted on a weapons charge. You know, he's a violent criminal.
00:27:13.400So you don't know if he's grabbing something. And even if he isn't, this is what I said about
00:27:17.620the Jacob Blake case. Yeah. Jacob Blake was armed. He was reaching and then he was shot.
00:27:23.700And I guess, and that's the reason why that police officer was never brought up on any charges
00:27:27.780because he was reaching. But I would say, even if he didn't have a weapon and even if somehow
00:27:34.440you knew he didn't have any weapons in the car, you'd still be justified in shooting him.
00:27:39.440I would have shot him because, because when he gets into the car, that becomes a weapon,
00:27:45.800a violent, dangerous suspect in a vehicle is not, that is now a, you know, a multi-ton weapon that
00:27:54.820he is going to be driving around at a 60 plus, you know, a hundred miles an hour or whatever.
00:27:58.260That becomes a giant battering ram, but he can run into anything. And then in Jacob Blake's case,
00:28:04.600also, there were kids in the car. And so I think taking the gun, taking the knife out of it,
00:28:09.940taking everything out of it, I think you're perfectly justified in shooting him dead right
00:28:14.320there to stop him from getting into the car. And I would say the same thing for Dante Wright.
00:28:19.780You cannot let him get in the car and start, and start driving away because that's when people,
00:28:23.920that's when an innocent person might get killed. That's when one of the cops might get killed.
00:28:27.400So, I mean, suspects use vehicles as weapons against police officers frequently.
00:28:35.660So if she had simply done it on purpose and said, yeah, I did it on purpose,
00:28:40.260then I think there'd be no case at all. In this case, though, we know it was an accident,
00:28:45.280but now the question becomes, you watch that testimony and you think about the whole situation.
00:28:51.940Does this seem like the sort of person who we as a society need to punish?
00:28:57.400Is she someone who needs to be, is she a danger to society? Does she need to be segregated from
00:29:03.100society? She's already lost her job. Obviously, she's not going to be a police officer anymore.
00:29:09.300You could certainly make the argument that she probably never should have been a police officer.
00:29:12.740But then, you know, that brings up a conversation that nobody wants to have about about there are a lot of female police officers out there who are not physically capable of dealing with violent male suspects.
00:29:28.700That's a conversation that nobody really wants to have.
00:29:35.280So, if she's not a police officer anymore, is she a danger to society? Does she need to be segregated from society for that reason?
00:30:00.400I don't know what throwing her in prison accomplishes.
00:30:07.140I look at this in some way similar to a tragic case where you hear about one of those things you, as a parent, you worry about so much.
00:30:16.100You know, a parent backing out of their driveway backs over their own child and kills them.
00:30:21.000You know, unless the parent was really being negligent and reckless and was a drug addict and was, you know, like, unless there was something, unless there's some kind of exigent circumstances.
00:30:30.980Normally, when you look at that, you say, well, are you going to put the parent in prison for that?
00:31:27.160If he was alive, he should be the one apologizing, just like Jacob Blake should be the one apologizing to the police officer who had to shoot him.
00:31:37.740You've lived your whole life victimizing people at will, as Dante Wright did.
00:31:42.840Victimizing people in brutal, savage ways.
00:31:48.920And then you have a police officer simply trying to do their job, to bring you in, because you're a dangerous criminal, and that's what they're supposed to do.
00:31:56.080And you decided to fight, because you don't care about the law, you don't care about the rules, you don't care about anybody.
00:32:02.040And a terrible accident happened in the process, and someone's life is ruined.
00:32:07.620A good person's life is ruined because of you.
00:32:17.680A hero Wisconsin mother of two died eight days after suffering severe injuries when she saved her four-year-old son from being brutally attacked by the family's pit bull.
00:32:29.280Heather Pingel, 35, from Bowler, suffered kidney failure, lung damage, and both of her arms had to be amputated after the pit bull viciously attacked her and her son.
00:32:38.720She was rushed to the Aspirus Hospital, where she died of her injuries on December 16th.
00:32:45.500Damien received 70 stitches to his leg and is back home recovering.
00:32:53.580So she had both her arms amputated, and then eventually she died.
00:32:59.480I bring this case up because it's a horrible case, but also, yet again, I think it emphasizes that it's simply crazy to allow these animals to be owned in our neighborhoods.
00:33:16.780This kind of thing, it happens every single year.
00:33:52.820And if he has a bad day, or something snaps, or something triggers, you know, someone does something innocent, but that triggers an instinctive reaction in the animal, he's going to become a death machine.
00:34:09.940In fact, the website, banpitbulls.org, which I think they put their biases right there in the URL, but even so, the information is good.
00:34:20.880It says pit bull attacks in the U.S. rose 700, so this information is a little bit old, but since 2014, it says pit bull attacks in the U.S. rose 773% between 2007 and 2014.
00:34:37.420In the 10-year period from 2005 to 2014, pit bulls killed 200 Americans and accounted for 62% of the 326 total recorded deaths by dog bites.
00:34:48.900And then it goes on with more statistics.
00:34:55.140Well, you can look up yourself, but the vast majority of maulings happen by pit bulls.
00:35:01.220Now, if you want to look at dog bites in general, including just like a nip on the hand, pit bulls might not be at the top there.
00:35:07.780Probably like a poodle would be at the top, but poodles aren't killing anybody.
00:35:10.640So, severe maulings, pit bulls by far and away responsible for most of them.
00:35:18.500They killed 200 people in the span of seven years.
00:35:21.480Now, yeah, you could say, well, you know, many more people die of car accidents every year, so on and so forth.
00:35:26.900But we're talking to hundreds of people mauled to death by animals, by animals that we allow into our communities.
00:35:44.500The argument is that these can be very, very dangerous animals, uniquely dangerous, and they kill hundreds of people, and they maul thousands of people, and young kids get their faces ripped off.
00:35:56.680And so, that's why we should not allow pit bulls.
00:36:14.500Pit bulls are not, this is not, we talk about the right to bear arms, because I know that's another thing pit bull apologists will often make this comparison.
00:36:24.500Oh, well, what you're doing, this is just what the gun control crowd does with guns.
00:36:29.420Yeah, you have a constitutional right to bear arms.
00:36:33.740There's no constitutional right to bear pit bulls.
00:37:31.400It says, the headline, Louis C.K.'s new sorry special proves cancel culture isn't real, critics say.
00:37:38.800And the article says, Louis C.K.'s sorry act is no laughing matter to some social media watchdogs.
00:37:44.740The controversial comic is hyping a new comedy special.
00:37:47.320As many viewers learned this weekend over a commercial break during a very sparse episode of Saturday Night Live due to the fresh COVID-19 outbreak in New York City.
00:37:56.300The aptly titled Sorry shot over the summer at Madison Square Garden is the 54-year-old comedian's first since he faced numerous allegations of sexual misconduct in 2017.
00:38:21.340It wasn't on Amazon or anything like that.
00:38:23.240And there were a lot of leftists on social media who were saying, oh, you see, you say the cancel culture is real, but now Louis C.K. is still performing comedy.
00:38:38.460How does that negate the reality of cancel culture?
00:38:42.220Um, we know that Louis C.K. was canceled because this comedy special was not streamed on Netflix or Amazon prior to the scandal, right?
00:38:55.340This would be on Netflix and he would have gotten paid, you know, hundreds of millions of dollars to do a series of specials like Dave Chappelle has for Netflix.
00:39:03.880So he's doing this on his own website.
00:39:06.880He has been he has been barred from most of these platforms.
00:39:11.100They're not going to go anywhere near him.
00:39:26.240But it does make me wonder, you know, the advocates of cancel culture, while they claim that it doesn't exist, what they really mean is that they think it should go a lot farther than it does.
00:39:40.400Because you're taking issue with Louis C.K. doing a comedy special and and putting it up on his own website.
00:39:46.520You think you think he should be prevented from doing that?
00:40:20.380So they're still a free person walking around.
00:40:24.240And somehow you think that they ought to be prevented from.
00:40:28.820Producing content and putting it on their own website, that's all he's doing.
00:40:35.080Or maybe it's because maybe we're saying cancel culture isn't real because, yeah, he's free to do the comedy that he wants to do and he's free to release it on his website.
00:40:44.020But the real what they're really taking issue with is that there's an audience for it.
00:40:49.180That's what they really are upset about.
00:40:51.540That probably I don't I don't think we have those numbers, but probably millions of people went and downloaded it.
00:40:58.640And people still go to Louis C.K.'s shows.
00:41:00.980So maybe that proves that cancel culture isn't real.
00:41:59.560I mean, the main reason, as I've said before, is that the left owns all of the institutions and cancel culture is something that is that is that that happens from the top down.
00:42:08.580It's an it's it's it's institutional power.
00:42:11.660You know, cancel culture is a mechanism.
00:42:14.980The right doesn't have any institutional power.
00:42:16.400But the other thing is that is that I think people on the right.
00:42:21.320Don't really bother going after people for their things have in their private life and scandals and all of that, because we we have gotten so accustomed to separating who a person is and what they do in their private life from the craft.
00:42:34.920Because if we if we were not able to separate those things, we would never be able to listen to any music.
00:42:39.900We would never be able to watch anything on TV.
00:42:42.860We wouldn't be able to enjoy any kind of entertainment at all.
00:42:44.940Because when it comes to private life and all of that kind of stuff, we object to almost all of these people.
00:42:52.640And yet, if they are good at their craft, we can still separate that and enjoy the craft what it is.
00:43:01.560You know, the holidays are already an expensive time for for most people.
00:43:06.080And this is going to be the most expensive holiday that most of us have have experienced because of inflation and also gas prices.
00:43:12.520If you're traveling, you're going to pay a lot more for gas.
00:43:14.560And that means you've got to you've got to take advantage of any opportunity you can find to save some money.
00:51:16.980And my point about gossip is simply that women gossip because they actually care about what's happening in other people's lives.
00:51:24.920And that can take on negative forms at times where they care about the things that are really private and they shouldn't be talking about.
00:51:32.260But I think it's born from something positive, which is that they actually care about what's happening.
00:51:38.240Whereas men largely don't care that much about what's happening in other people's lives.
00:51:42.940That's not what we feel like talking about.
00:51:46.120Like we're not going to sit down and talk about.
00:51:48.620We might talk a little bit, but we're not going to sit down and have an hour-long conversation about what's happening in somebody else's life.
00:51:54.120Not because of any moral superiority, but we just don't care.
00:51:58.740Like I'd rather talk about football or politics or something like that.
00:52:02.460And finally, Paul says, Matt, I have to ask you if you think COVID is real or is it something you think our government is using for power?
00:52:08.700Because it seems like it's affecting the whole world.
00:52:10.740I agree mandates are dangerous, but your attitude is equally dangerous.
