Today on The Matt Wall Show, as I return from my excursion into the third world,
00:00:03.400
we'll talk about the pain and suffering of people in this country, specifically those
00:00:06.880
who are deeply suffering because of Joe Rogan's podcast. Really tough for them. Also,
00:00:11.160
Stacey Abrams poses for a photograph which unwittingly summarizes two years of insane
00:00:15.320
COVID policies all at once. And the Olympics have started, but nobody's watching. I wonder why.
00:00:19.840
Plus, CNN hilariously mourns the loss of its boss after he was ousted because of the latest
00:00:24.000
sex scandal at the network. And in our daily cancellation, we will deal with the NFL head
00:00:27.800
coach who says that he's the victim of racism. Poor guy. We'll talk about all of that and much
00:00:32.200
more today on The Matt Wall Show. You know, going online without ExpressVPN, well, it's like leaving

00:01:52.700
last week or what exactly we were doing. Those details will be revealed in due time, but I can
00:01:57.380
say that this project took us to a third world African country, a very poor place, a very dangerous
00:02:02.520
place. We traversed hundreds of miles, getting a good view of both its urban and rural environments.
00:02:08.180
The one constant nearly everywhere was poverty and not the kind of poverty we have in this country,
00:02:13.540
where a person may be called poor and yet own three TVs and a cell phone and live in a
00:02:17.980
multi-bedroom home subsidized by the government and be so far from starvation that they're morbidly
00:02:23.980
obese. That's American poverty. It's very unique. It's not third world poverty. Third world poverty
00:02:29.380
is utter and complete destitution. There are no fat poor people in the third world. There are no fat
00:02:35.640
people, period. You don't see them. They don't exist. And people don't own TVs. They don't have
00:02:41.260
refrigerators. Probably don't have electricity. You know, we saw entire families living in shacks,
00:02:46.680
shacks, half the size of a standard garage made out of sticks and mud and spare sheet metal.
00:02:53.140
There were a lot of what you might call, I don't know, third world townhomes, which were
00:02:57.260
looked to be sort of shipping containers divided into five or six tiny units for five or six large
00:03:03.160
families to live in. There's trash everywhere. There's sewage everywhere. Everything is dirty.
00:03:07.280
Everything smells. The people are emaciated. The children have flies all over their faces,
00:03:12.740
crawling into their ears and swarming around their eyes. Out in the country, people subsist on
00:03:17.620
their herds of goats and cows, which they guide to new grazing areas by walking directly on the highway
00:03:23.800
with the cows. And if they want to go all the way to the nearest town, then they might have to walk
00:03:28.420
dozens of miles. And the nearest town invariably features a small butcher shop set up in a shack or old
00:03:34.080
shed with ambiguous slabs of meat, probably covered in maggots, hanging on hooks and spoiling in the
00:03:40.380
sun. There are street vendors with poultry little stands or random items set out on blankets.
00:03:47.000
And sometimes there would be a tiny hut with a pharmacy or hotel or hospital spray painted on the
00:03:52.080
side. Now, very small pockets of the very wealthiest parts of the main city did have retail
00:03:58.980
outlets and other landmarks of modern civilization. We had to pass through a security checkpoint guarded
00:04:04.980
by men in military fatigues in order to access a shopping center with restaurants that sold the
00:04:10.200
kind of food that you could eat without contracting intestinal parasites, hopefully. Now, most people
00:04:15.160
didn't live in those areas, though, and even if they did, they couldn't afford to buy anything from
00:04:18.880
them. Most lived in the sort of poverty that you can't really understand until you see it,
00:04:24.400
but which most Americans will live and die without ever seeing. Now, the other thing about third world
00:04:30.180
countries is that nobody appears to be in charge. There is no system anywhere. There's no
00:04:35.780
infrastructure. This is most obvious on the roads where stoplights and stop signs can rarely be found. I
00:04:42.180
don't think I saw a single one. And like I said, we drove hundreds of miles. And where they are found,
00:04:47.780
they're simply ignored. Everybody drives in whatever direction they feel like going, cars, bikes, people,
00:04:52.660
livestock dashed around you in front of you, people driving on the wrong side of the road
00:04:58.440
at random. We were warned to keep our windows rolled up whenever the car was traveling slower
00:05:03.840
than a person can walk because people will just run up and reach their hand into your car and take
00:05:09.080
whatever they can grab. That's the other thing about a country like this. Everybody wants to rob you
00:05:13.940
everywhere all the time. And this includes the random government and security officials who you may
00:05:19.320
encounter on the roads and in the cities and the airports. You're advised to have small bills ready
00:05:24.580
in your pocket to dole out bribes as need be. And a few American dollars can get you out of all sorts of
00:05:29.920
jams. In fact, as we may or may not have learned, I can neither confirm nor deny, you might encounter a
00:05:37.260
situation where you have to dole out a bribe as soon as your plane touches down in the airport. But you may need
00:05:42.300
more than a few dollars if you happen across any of the roving bands of terrorists or criminal gangs who make a
00:05:47.380
living kidnapping people, especially white Westerners, and selling them into slavery or holding them for
00:05:52.580
ransom. That's the kind of thing, that's the real possibility you have to worry about in a country
00:05:57.300
like this. We had a team of armed security to help dissuade such attempts, but most people in the
00:06:02.700
country don't have that advantage, obviously. That's just one of the many threats that will seem quite
00:06:08.260
unique to the visiting Westerner. There are others like wild animal attacks. We stayed in tents for the
00:06:13.940
majority of our time there. And two members of our crew had their tent invaded and ripped apart by a
00:06:19.380
large and aggressive male baboon. And this event was unsettling to us, but not a surprise to the
00:06:25.380
locals. It's the kind of thing they have to deal with. You tell them about it and they say, oh yeah,
00:06:29.860
baboons are jerks. There are even more ubiquitous dangers though, like the water, which you can't drink
00:06:35.640
and probably shouldn't even bathe in unless it comes from a bottle. And even then, you can never be too
00:06:41.120
sure. Same goes for the food. You could probably eat the meat if it's cooked thoroughly and doesn't
00:06:46.780
smell spoiled, though you can never be exactly sure what sort of animal you're actually consuming. I
00:06:51.200
think I ate horse ones, but I'm not sure. Eat anything uncooked, including fruits and vegetables,
00:06:56.740
and you risk spending the next 12 hours with violent diarrhea. This experience will be additionally
00:07:01.560
unpleasant because depending on where you find yourself when it hits, you probably won't have access to
00:07:06.260
anything resembling a modern bathroom. In summation, third world countries are hell. Absolute hell.
00:07:14.220
You often hear people claim that parts of LA and San Francisco and Chicago are like third world
00:07:19.100
countries. And as part of this same project, by the way, we've been to all of those cities as well.
00:07:26.540
And actually, it's not far from the truth, but in a third world country, the whole place is like the
00:07:32.860
worst part of Los Angeles. The whole country is a homeless encampment. We aren't at that point yet
00:07:38.660
in our country, though the Democrat party is trying its best to bring us there. For now, in comparison
00:07:44.720
with countries like the one that we visited, that is in comparison with most of the countries on earth,
00:07:51.200
we are living in unfathomable luxury. Most of the world is a horror show, a nightmare. We're living
00:07:59.360
like kings, most of us. If you can turn on your faucet and drink the water, you're already leagues ahead
00:08:06.100
of most of the people on earth. We are comfortable to an obscene degree. Most of us don't know what
00:08:12.540
suffering looks like. We haven't seen oppression, much less experienced it. We are decadent. And that
00:08:19.960
has made us flimsy and weak and stupid. So it was interesting on the 30-hour trip home to get caught
00:08:30.280
up on the news in America, because I was a little bit out of the loop for that week, as you might
00:08:35.000
expect, especially the biggest story, which is the effort to punish, cancel, and silence Joe Rogan.
00:08:41.620
And it all began, of course, with claims that Rogan has disseminated misinformation about COVID,
00:08:46.100
because the people who run around claiming that men can get pregnant and that the world will
00:08:49.820
end in five years because of climate change, and that racist cops are hunting and murdering black
00:08:54.040
people at random in the street. They're all very concerned about misinformation. But then the
00:08:59.260
highly coordinated and funded campaign moved into its next phase, which anyone could have seen
00:09:04.740
coming, which has involved digging up old podcast episodes where Rogan utters the forbidden word,
00:09:11.720
the N-word. A word which you might hear shouted 45 times in a pop song, without complaint from anyone,
00:09:18.340
but which a guy like Rogan cannot say even when simply quoting someone else. If your skin color
00:09:26.080
is on the darker side of the color spectrum, you can say it in any context you like. If it's on the
00:09:31.360
lighter side, you can't say it in any context at all. Now, this rule obviously makes no sense
00:09:37.460
whatsoever. It cannot be justified on any rational or moral basis at all. Yet it's used nonetheless to
00:09:45.160
destroy people like Rogan. Not because he said that word, but because he said a whole bunch of
00:09:50.660
other things that the ruling class doesn't want anyone to say. It's all a pretense. This is why,
00:09:56.940
as people have been pointing out, someone like Howard Stern. I mean, Howard Stern, for 30 years,
00:10:02.700
every day, said things that were far more offensive than any Joe Rogan episode. Howard Stern put on
00:10:08.780
blackface and said the N-word at the same time on camera and he's not canceled. He still has a deal
00:10:16.020
with Sirius. Why is that? Well, because Howard Stern has been neutered in recent years and now he's
00:10:22.360
convenient. He's useful to the left, especially because he's panicking over COVID all the time
00:10:26.220
and pushing the vaccines. This again, as I always remind people, this is not a double standard. It's
00:10:33.240
not, oh, it's a double standard because Howard Stern is not canceled, but Rogan is. No, it's one
00:10:38.060
standard. And the standard is this. If you are useful to the left, you can stick around no matter
00:10:43.540
who you are or what you say. If you're not off with your head. So they want Rogan gone because of his
00:10:50.440
thought crimes. They can't say that exactly. So instead they claim misinformation and they,
00:10:55.360
they rifle through thousands of hours of podcasts to find a few examples of him saying naughty words.
00:11:00.740
All the while, the left-wing mob puts on this act pretending to be, to be somehow hurt or victimized
00:11:10.080
because of words uttered by a podcaster who, if they find distasteful, they could simply not listen
00:11:16.900
to. But that's not good enough. The fact that he's allowed to speak at all, the fact that anyone is
00:11:23.020
able to listen to him causes them deep pain and suffering, they claim. Now in the country that I just
00:11:28.760
came from, people suffer because they live in mud huts and they drink sewage. In this country,
00:11:36.080
people suffer because of podcasts. Rogan himself apologized to the mob in a six-minute video over
00:11:42.260
the weekend, calling his bad language shameful and regretful and expressing, quote, deepest apologies.
00:11:49.220
Who's he apologizing to exactly? Who is the aggrieved party? Who was actually hurt by this stuff
00:11:56.480
that he said in podcast years ago and which nobody complained about until now?
00:12:03.460
Well, that's never explained. Because by the way, another thing with all of this,
00:12:08.680
there ought to be a statute of limitations. If you want to be offended by some, by something that
00:12:14.480
somebody says, you better be offended now. Because if they said it years ago and you weren't offended
00:12:19.780
at the time, it's too late now to decide. You can't circle back around five years later and say,
00:12:23.780
oh, you know what? That thing you said five years ago, I'm actually really offended by that. I've
00:12:27.040
thought about it for five years and now I'm offended. And if you didn't know that they said
00:12:30.400
it five years ago, then no harm, no foul. You survived. Either way, it's too late. Of course,
00:12:36.660
I say that, but I mean, if you're offended by something that someone says now, I still don't give
00:12:40.620
a damn. But especially if it happened a long time ago. Too late. Meanwhile, the CEO of Spotify,
00:12:48.980
Daniel Eck sent a memo to his staff, for now, still refusing to cancel Rogan's show, mostly because
00:12:55.380
it would cost him $100 million to do so. But nonetheless, groveling and apologizing for the
00:13:02.500
things that Rogan has said. He said in part, quote, this is the CEO, quote, there are no words I can say
00:13:09.440
to adequately convey how deeply sorry I am for the way that Joe Rogan experienced controversy
00:13:15.020
continues to impact each of you. Not only are some of Joe Rogan's comments incredibly hurtful,
00:13:20.820
I want to make clear they do not represent the values of this company. I know this situation
00:13:25.320
leaves many of you feeling drained, frustrated, unheard. I deeply regret that you're carrying so
00:13:31.700
much of this burden. Burden? What burden? You know, I've come from a place where lots of people have
00:13:39.860
the burden of watching their children starve to death while their teeth rot out of their heads.
00:13:45.020
Meanwhile, the employees of a multi-billion dollar media conglomerate have the burden of
00:13:49.700
Joe Rogan. It's all an act put on by soulless cry bullies who are so immersed in their own privilege
00:13:57.600
that they believe they have the right to control what everyone says and hears and thinks.
00:14:02.400
They're so invested in this imaginary right that they believe they've been personally attacked
00:14:08.320
if anyone is allowed to say anything that they don't approve of. And that's why these people do
00:14:14.840
not deserve an apology. Now, I don't know Joe Rogan personally, but he seems like a nice guy and a
00:14:22.740
decent guy. Unfortunately, these are not nice or decent times. You cannot be nice to the mob of
00:14:31.380
spoiled brats. Their feelings are not important. Their feelings aren't even real. I doubt very much
00:14:40.200
that these people are even capable of experiencing true human emotion at this point because they've been
00:14:45.080
faking it for so long. When they come beating on your door, demanding an apology, the best thing
00:14:51.340
you can do for yourself and for the world and even for them is to laugh in their face and then spit in
00:14:57.880
it. Tell them to kiss your ass, double down and then triple down and then double down on your triple
00:15:02.640
down. What good will the apology do anyway? You may have noticed that in the whole history of cancel
00:15:08.320
culture. In the whole history of public apologies offered to the cancel mob, never once has an
00:15:15.040
apology been followed by the mob saying, we forgive you. Never once. Forgiveness is not on offer.
00:15:24.380
They want the apology not for reconciliation, but for victory. They're demanding your submission.
00:15:31.040
They want you to lie down before them so that they can stand on your face and plant their flag directly
00:15:36.800
in your gut and then claim you as a prize. Don't give these vultures that satisfaction. Spit in
00:15:46.320
their face and laugh at their fake tears. It's the only way. Besides, when you apologize, you're only
00:15:53.480
pulling the rug out from under the people who are defending you. The very few people who had the guts
00:15:58.020
to defend you, by the way. That's the other part about this. Now, I've had the mob coming after me
00:16:02.660
enough times to know that most of your so-called friends will run away and hide, cowering in silence
00:16:07.860
while the hyenas rip you apart. I've been through that myself. Only a few people will have the balls
00:16:12.580
to stand beside you and defend you. When you apologize to the mob, you're cutting your defenders
00:16:17.220
off at the kneecaps and embarrassing them. They're spending their time saying, no, no, no,
00:16:21.520
defending what you did. And then you come along and say, oh, I'm so sorry. I'm a terrible person.
00:16:26.980
You hurt the people who are trying to help you and help the people who want you dead.
00:16:34.240
So stop apologizing. These people are not hurt. They're not suffering. They don't know what
00:16:39.820
suffering is. Life has never smacked them in the face much to their detriment. So if you want to
00:16:46.100
help them, give them the smack they need. Give them a little bit of the pain they seem to wish they could
00:16:52.780
feel. That's the favor you could do for them and for the world. Now let's get to our five headlines.

00:18:12.860
All right. Yeah, this N-word thing is, it's one of the great absurdities of our time
00:18:23.480
that everyone recognizes is totally absurd. And yet it's a rule that makes no sense. And yet
00:18:33.840
everyone is forced to follow because the consequences are so dire if you don't.
00:18:40.800
I mean, I forget which comedian, I think it might've been Bill Burr back when he was still,
00:18:45.200
you know, saying things that were funny and controversial, which these days he doesn't
00:18:48.960
seem to do quite as much. I think it was him who made the point a while ago that even saying,
00:18:55.340
when you say the N-word, you're still conveying the word. You're still communicating the word to
00:19:02.600
someone because you're causing them to think it. It's the same thing with, it's the same sort of
00:19:08.940
silly thing we do as the F-word or the S-word. There's no real point in dancing around it like
00:19:15.880
that because you're still, if you're saying it to someone who knows what that word is,
00:19:20.820
then you're causing them to think it. You're communicating it to them, right?
00:19:23.380
And if they don't know what the word is and what it stands for, then there's no point in saying it
00:19:27.600
because they're not going to know what you're talking about. So assuming your audience knows
00:19:31.060
what the N-word is, when you say it, you're causing them to think it. You're conveying it,
00:19:35.440
you're communicating it. So what exactly is the point? Especially in the context of you're trying
00:19:42.000
to quote someone, let's say, which is with Joe Rogan, that's most of those examples that they dug up.
00:19:47.760
He's quoting someone. So it's, what's the difference between just saying it or saying
00:19:55.400
the N-word? Is there some mystical, supernatural significance to the syllables themselves?
00:20:04.460
So you could say the N-word, quote unquote, but if you, if you utter the actual syllables,
00:20:08.800
it, what? Does it cause people to spontaneously combust? Well, we know that's not the case.
00:20:16.080
Because I said, as noted at the beginning, the people pretending to be so hurt by this,
00:20:21.340
they'll listen to a song where it's shouted 50 times in three minutes.
00:20:25.160
Listen to a song where it's shouted 50 times in three minutes. I mean, you have people who,
00:20:28.240
who, who listen to the word and say it hundreds of times a day, listening to a song and it's shouted
00:20:36.420
50 times. Well, it's a great song. And then they hear a clip of a podcaster quoting the word nine
00:20:43.540
years ago. And they say, Oh my God, that word, that word, I can't stand it. Oh, please. Oh, please.
00:20:53.020
Does anyone take it seriously? Does anyone believe it? No.
00:20:56.940
No. But Joe Rogan apologized to them. He apologized. That's why you don't apologize.
00:21:07.920
All right. Um, I got to move on from this. I could keep ranting about it. Uh, I, I, there's a lot of
00:21:13.160
things, a lot of things we're, we're building up. Um, a lot of, a lot of rants kind of bottled up
00:21:17.800
over the last week. And so now I've got to spill them. I'll start with this. Uh, Stacey Abrams,
00:21:21.940
who's the weird woman who thinks she's governor of Georgia. She showed up at an elementary school
00:21:27.360
last week and, um, took this picture here. We got the picture there. So there she is. Um,
00:21:35.220
sitting with a bunch of masked children, not wearing a mask herself. Uh, they're all,
00:21:41.980
all their faces are covered, but Stacey Abrams, she has to make sure that her face is not covered
00:21:46.500
because we've got to see her face, right? There's only one person in that photograph.
00:21:52.340
Who's at a high risk of COVID. And it's the obese woman sitting in the front without a mask on.
00:21:58.080
But no, we got to see her face. By the way, it's always, this is not the main point, but I do have
00:22:03.480
to point out that, uh, these politicians who, who are hypocrites and refuse to wear the mask while
00:22:08.500
making everyone else wear them. It's always the ugliest ones too. And it's always the ones who you're
00:22:13.100
like, well, you know, you should probably just wear a mask in general, but she doesn't want to wear a
00:22:18.020
mask and all the kids are wearing it. And by the way, she was there to read a children's book.
00:22:23.300
I think this is also worth noting. She was there to read a children's book that she wrote about
00:22:27.480
herself where she's the hero. And the book is called Stacy's extraordinary words. I'm not making
00:22:34.560
that up. So she was there to read a children's book about herself as a hero, even though this woman has
00:22:41.540
never done anything significant in her entire life. Nobody can, at some point, someone named
00:22:48.080
Stacy Abrams came along and the media told us, Oh, this woman, she's so incredible. And so she should
00:22:52.400
be president. And we're all asking what, who is she? What is that? What has she done? Why should
00:22:57.660
anyone care about her? What, what has she achieved in her life? Nothing. They just pulled her out of the
00:23:02.900
blue. And she wrote this book about herself. You know, I tell you right now, I have written my own
00:23:09.780
children's book, which is called Johnny, the walrus, which you can get at johnny, the walrus.com.
00:23:14.380
And, uh, I will quite happily go and read that to groups of children and they don't have to wear
00:23:20.120
masks. So I'll make that deal. Then the campaign, the Abrams campaign, they issued a statement responding
00:23:28.420
to the controversy surrounding this photo. And by the way, this photo was not, uh, it wasn't something
00:23:34.580
that somebody dug up and put out there. It wasn't like her, her, her enemies put it out there to try
00:23:41.280
to embarrass her. This is not like a Joe Rogan thing where there's a coordinated funded campaign
00:23:46.800
to go find stuff on this guy. No, they took the picture proudly. She posed for it. They took it and
00:23:53.620
her campaign posted it online because they're in such a bubble that they, they didn't even know
00:24:02.140
that people would react to it the way that they did. They didn't see, I mean, before, uh, a picture
00:24:09.940
like that makes it online, it has to, it has to pat, it has to be approved by several people,
00:24:14.640
including probably Stacey Abrams herself. And no one along that chain of approval said, Hey, wait a
00:24:21.740
second. Um, you know, uh, maybe this won't look great for her not to be wearing a mask while all the
00:24:28.380
kids do have to wear it. No one said, Hey, wait a second. Um, the, the person in this, in this, uh,
00:24:36.520
photo who most needs the mask, isn't wearing them, isn't wearing one while all the people who don't
00:24:41.600
need them are maybe we shouldn't post. No one said that. So they posted it and then, and then they
00:24:46.960
took it down after a few hours when people reacted to it the way that, um, any rational person would
00:24:51.000
expect them to. And then the Abrams campaign released this statement. They said, it is shameful that
00:24:55.900
our opponents are using a black history month reading event for Georgia children as the impetus
00:25:01.400
for a false political attack. What's false about it? Was it, is it photoshopped? Were you wearing
00:25:09.580
the mask and someone photoshopped it off of your face? What do you mean false political attack?
00:25:14.480
It's not even a political attack. It's a photo that you posted. She continues, and it is pitiful
00:25:20.220
and predictable that our opponents continue to look for opportunities to distract from their
00:25:24.020
failed records when it comes to protecting public health during the pandemic. One of
00:25:27.960
Stacy's opponents downplayed the virus while trading stock to profit off of the pandemic
00:25:31.900
after his private coronavirus briefings as a center. Another of her opponents attacked
00:25:35.660
mayors seeking to protect their citizens and has failed to expand access to Medicaid even
00:25:39.420
as rural hospitals close. This pathetic, transparent, and silly attack is beneath anyone who claims
00:25:44.720
he wants to lead Georgia. So you see, there's no apology there. Um, it's racist. How dare
00:25:49.560
you? During black history month of all things to criticize a black woman during black history
00:25:55.860
month. Well, this is, this is unheard of. Um, Joe Rogan and everybody else targeted by the
00:26:04.000
cancel mob. You could take a lesson actually from Stacy Abrams and really any Democrat. They
00:26:09.140
don't apologize. They do not apologize. They go right back on the attack. They say, no,
00:26:16.500
no, no, no. I don't know. You an apology. You owe me an apology. And here's why
00:26:20.860
could take a lesson from that. But really that photo is, uh, I think it will live in infamy
00:26:27.780
and it, it, because it, it summarizes two years of insane, horrible, uh, evil, twisted,
00:26:37.600
perverse COVID policies. All of, all of that could really be summarized with that picture.
00:26:42.180
Picture says a thousand words and, um, a picture of the important one sitting in a room with
00:26:52.220
faceless children because their faces don't matter. And the psychological effect of having
00:26:57.300
to cover their faces for years on end also doesn't matter. We're told now I've seen a lot
00:27:03.780
of people, by the way, sharing that photo, um, parents and everything, and especially parents
00:27:08.940
who, who, who have their kids in schools where they still have to mask. And, uh, they're sharing
00:27:13.260
the photo and saying, unmask our children, unmask our children. I gotta be honest with you. I'm
00:27:18.400
really tired of hearing that, especially from parents who have their kids in these schools,
00:27:24.340
unmask our children. No, stop, stop, stop begging them to do it. How about you march into that school
00:27:33.860
and force the issue? I mean, how have two years into this, if you're a parent, how have you not
00:27:42.200
gone into the school and said, I am not leaving this building until you take that thing off my
00:27:47.680
child. In fact, I'm going to take the things off, a thing off my child's face and you're not putting
00:27:51.520
it back on. You touch my child and I'm going to touch you and you're not going to like it.
00:27:57.560
How, how have the parents not done that? Two years into it, you're still, you're still, uh,
00:28:05.280
sitting back waiting. Please take the masks off our kids. Please. Will you please?
00:28:11.320
Well, they're not going to, and I'll show you why. Here's a, um, here's the superintendent of
00:28:15.080
Wake County schools explaining why it's so important to mask, especially young children.
00:28:22.560
Full mask compliance later down their, their growth as students, right? So when they're at,
00:28:29.360
it's like, if you're a two year old, you're trying to help them practice for
00:28:31.940
age three and then four, when they're going into pre-K classrooms. And then from there,
00:28:36.140
you're trying to help them get into normalized situation, wearing masks, potentially in a
00:28:40.180
kindergarten classroom and so forth. Right? So that's what we're trying to do. And it's,
00:28:44.600
it is with a developmental lens and not a, you must do this or else lens.
00:28:49.400
Uh, so we gotta, we gotta mask them at the age of two so that we can teach them and condition
00:28:56.840
them. And he's being quite explicit about it. We got to condition them for the future
00:29:00.560
because they got a mask now when they're two so that they wear the mask when they're three
00:29:05.160
and four and five. What does that tell you? It means that he plans on those kids wearing
00:29:09.020
masks forever. He's planning years into the future. They're never taking the mask off until
00:29:17.880
you force the issue as a parent, which means you pull your kid out of these damn places,
00:29:23.020
out of these cursed places, or you show up there in the building, in the class, and you
00:29:32.740
take the thing off your kid's face yourself and you tell them you're not putting it back
00:29:36.600
on. It's not going to happen. And it needs to be not just one parent doing that, but lots
00:29:42.460
of parents say, what are you going to do? Take us all to jail. Go ahead.
00:29:49.520
Stop asking for permission. Stop asking government officials. Stop politely asking them to stop
00:29:55.980
abusing your kids. All right. Um, let's, uh, move on. This is from Yahoo. It says NBC is facing a
00:30:05.940
cataclysmic loss of audience for the 2022 winter Olympics as viewership tanked for Friday's opening
00:30:11.420
ceremony, averaging just 16 million. What a shame. It's a record low for the opening ceremony and a
00:30:16.600
whopping 43% below the 2018 games in South Korea that notched 28.3 million viewers, despite also
00:30:22.920
dealing with a less than advantageous Asian time zone for American audiences. Um, and, uh, and there's
00:30:30.220
a lot of speculation about why this is happening. Um, Yahoo continues and says the host country,
00:30:37.100
China is a serious problem. Numerous countries, including the United States are staging a diplomatic
00:30:40.960
boycott of these games due to what they say is China's active campaign of genocide against the
00:30:46.340
Uyghurs, a minority ethic, uh, ethnic group, uh, of mostly Muslims in the far Northwest part of the
00:30:51.500
country. Yeah. We're, there's a, there's a diplomatic boycott yet we're still participating in the games.
00:30:57.940
And so most people are assuming that because of China's genocide and their human rights violations,
00:31:03.180
that's why people aren't interested in the games. And that's the thing people are focusing on. I was
00:31:06.140
like, why, why are we participating in the games? Why are we allowing this to happen? Why are all
00:31:11.460
the countries in the world coming together to participate in games under the communist Chinese
00:31:16.740
regime, which is guilty of genocide and all the rest of it? Um, I, I personally think that that
00:31:24.560
kind of misses at least half of the point, but we'll get to that in a second. ESPN has been discussing
00:31:30.060
this issue. And, uh, that discussion has gone maybe as you would, as you would expect here,
00:31:35.340
here, here's a around the horn, the show around the horn. And, uh, the host is talking about this
00:31:40.280
and like, how do you, how do you justify this? I mean, how do you justify having the Olympics in
00:31:44.420
China and participating in it and covering it given the human rights violations? And here's how one of
00:31:50.440
these sports analysts responds to that. With genocide and human rights violations in the Tibet region
00:31:58.420
and against Uyghurs in China, the International Olympic Committee chose Beijing while stating it
00:32:04.140
is committed to human rights. Today's opening ceremony, which again, you will see tonight,
00:32:10.860
featured a lighting of the torch by two members of the Chinese Olympic team, one of which is Uyghur.
00:32:19.040
J.A. Don, as a fan and then as a reporter, how do you reconcile and join this competition while
00:32:23.840
also considering everything I just said? I think it's standard in sports right now.
00:32:28.420
You have to have a cognitive dissonance. You need to compartmentalize. We've never had a more
00:32:32.960
enjoyable NFL playoffs in this country. And we've never had more people watching the playoffs.
00:32:38.560
And yet it goes on amid the ongoing allegations against Dan Snyder, owning the Washington football
00:32:43.460
team and the, you know, the continuous concussion concerns. And now the concerns about diversity and
00:32:49.420
the allegations and questions about competitive integrity, even all of that. And yet we're still
00:32:54.160
enjoying the games. And who are we to criticize China's human rights records when we have ongoing
00:32:59.900
attacks by the agents of the state against unarmed citizens? And we've got assaults on the voting rights
00:33:07.140
of our people of color in various states in this country. So sports, I think it is possible and it's
00:33:13.340
necessary more than ever to just shut everything out if you are to enjoy the actual games themselves.
00:33:19.000
So pathetic. These people are so totally pathetic. There's no group perhaps more pitiful as we've
00:33:31.000
seen in recent years than the sports analysts. And that becomes very clear whenever they get into
00:33:37.440
discussing social, cultural issues, bigger issues than sports themselves. Which is why I,
00:33:43.980
like most people would prefer them just to stick with the sports, obviously, but they don't want
00:33:48.400
to stick with the sports because they want to feel like their job is more important than that. So
00:33:53.440
they chime in on these issues. And this is what we get. That genocide is comparable to, um,
00:33:58.820
legislation, uh, to, to, to, uh, you know, voter ID legislation requiring someone, this is what he just
00:34:06.880
said. Telling someone that they have to produce a license in order to vote is equal to genocide.
00:34:20.220
And in spite of the fact, I mean, that would already be an absurd comparison on its own,
00:34:24.520
but then in spite of the fact that that same guy, I guarantee you supports vaccine mandates,
00:34:30.440
um, which require you to produce a vaccine card and a license to do anything in society.
00:34:36.880
If you live in one of these cities where these, uh, policies are in place.
00:34:42.780
So, uh, and that's perfectly fine. You want to eat, you want to do anything. You got to produce a
00:34:46.620
license and a vaccine card. But if you have to, if you have to produce just one of those pieces of
00:34:52.160
documentation to vote, now it's genocide. And this is all leaving aside the fact that, um, for me,
00:35:00.200
even the, the greater point as significant as the human rights abuses are, the greater point as far
00:35:07.340
as the Olympics go and the fact that the whole world is participating is that China by, by all
00:35:14.460
accounts now, um, engineered a virus, which was then unleashed on the world somehow and proceeded
00:35:22.860
to kill 5 million people all across the globe. We've all been living with that for two years.
00:35:28.960
So China unleashes between the, uh, the last Olympic games and this one, they engineer a deadly virus,
00:35:37.100
unleash it on the globe and kill 5 million people. And, and then they say, Hey guys,
00:35:40.420
you want to come over and play some games? And, and all the countries in the world are like,
00:35:45.000
And somehow that doesn't even make it into discussion.
00:35:53.680
All right, let's go to this. This is from the daily wire.
00:35:58.340
I'm trying to find some news story. That's not going to cause me to go off on a 15 minute
00:36:02.300
rant, but I really can't find one. And this one's not going to be any better. This is from
00:36:04.720
the daily wire. It says on Thursday, 16 members of the Penn's, uh, Penn state, uh, or university
00:36:09.420
of Pennsylvania women's swimming team sent a letter to the university of Pennsylvania and the Ivy
00:36:13.620
league, asking them to refrain from suing the NCAA over its new athletic inclusion policies
00:36:18.100
that would bar Leah Thomas, formerly known as Will Thomas from participating in the NCAA
00:36:22.480
championships in March. Um, they stated, we have been told that if we spoke out against her
00:36:29.240
inclusion into women's competitions, that we would be removed from the team or that we would never get
00:36:33.520
a job offer. Um, in the letter, the swimmers note, biologically, Leah holds an unfair advantage
00:36:41.040
over competition in the women's category as evidenced by her rankings that have bounced from
00:36:44.840
number 462 as a male to number one as a female. I didn't even know it was that it was quite that
00:36:51.220
dramatic number 462 rank as a male number one as a female, my God, not a surprise, but still when you
00:37:00.720
see it on paper, it really sends the point home, doesn't it? Um, and continuing if she were to be
00:37:06.200
eligible to compete against us, we, uh, she could now break Penn Ivy and NCAA women's swimming records
00:37:12.200
feats she could never have done as a male. Uh, and then they can continue, uh, goes on for a while.
00:37:18.080
We fully support Leah Thomas in her decision to affirm her gender identity and to transition from
00:37:24.040
a man to a woman. Leah has every right to live her life authentically. However, we also recognize
00:37:29.480
that when it comes to sports competitions, that the biology of sex is a separate issue from someone's
00:37:33.960
gender identity. Biologically, Leah holds an unfair advantage over competition in the women's
00:37:37.740
category, so on and so forth. Okay. So you see the problem here. And, um, I don't mean to continue
00:37:46.360
to victim blame here, but I am going to victim blame a little bit. Um, you're writing a letter in
00:37:54.460
protest of this insanity and that's okay. That's good. You're speaking out. That's a good thing.
00:38:00.260
Uh, yeah. University of Pennsylvania, they want to, they're talking about filing a lawsuit against
00:38:06.180
the NCAA to make sure that this male is able to compete against females. The women, the girls on
00:38:12.200
the team don't want that. And so they're writing the letter and they're protesting and all that is
00:38:15.120
good, but you're using the word heard in your letter, in the letter, which is meant to protest
00:38:24.980
the inclusion of a man in your competition. You're referring to him as a woman.
00:38:32.840
And even of course, taking a moment to say, oh, we totally respect enough for, we, we, we,
00:38:37.760
we respect and we have so much admiration and respect for her affirming her gender identity.
00:38:43.980
Well, there goes the whole case. You've just destroyed your whole case. It's out the window now
00:38:52.980
because the only argument against quote unquote, Leah Thomas competing against the women is that he is
00:39:03.900
not a woman. That's the only argument. It's not simply biological advantages. That's, that's not the
00:39:12.140
point. Because if you're going to affirm him as a woman and say, oh, but, but she has biological
00:39:19.720
advantages, then the response is, well, okay, but what about there? There are plenty of women who
00:39:23.880
are just naturally more gifted as athletes, naturally stronger. They have a better build
00:39:28.460
for swimming and all that sort of thing. So, so you're saying women who have those kinds of
00:39:33.560
biological advantages aren't allowed to compete. Oh, that doesn't make any sense.
00:39:36.360
And it wouldn't because of course nobody would argue. I mean, there could be, there could be a
00:39:44.520
someone, someone who's just the perfect specimen of an athlete. They have the perfect build for,
00:39:49.580
for a swimmer, all kinds of biological advantages that, that other women don't have. But if she's an
00:39:57.820
actual woman, of course she should be able to compete. So the only argument is that he is a
00:40:06.200
he. That's it. If you're affirming him as a woman while protesting his inclusion in female sports,
00:40:17.700
your argument is incoherent. You've cut yourself off at the kneecaps at that point.
00:40:22.300
Either he's a woman or he's not. If he's a woman, then he belongs in the women's competition.
00:40:34.680
This is the, the needle that so often people who are on the right side of this issue try to,
00:40:40.100
try to thread. Because even people who are on the right side of the issue and see it for the insanity
00:40:46.640
that it is, they're still too afraid to actually criticize trans ideology itself.
00:40:54.140
And I'm here to tell you that you can't do that. You have to choose.
00:41:00.880
Either you're going to submit yourself to trans ideology, give up on women's sports,
00:41:05.320
give up on, on science and common sense. And that's it.
00:41:10.120
Or not. But if you choose not, then yes, you are going after trans ideology itself.
00:41:18.800
You are saying that when someone who is a man claims to be a woman, they're wrong.
00:41:26.140
You are saying that transgenderism is, is an incoherent concept. That's what you're saying.
00:41:32.920
And if you're not saying that, then there's no point in writing the letter.
00:41:41.320
All right. Um, let's do one. Okay. Let's, we'll lighten the mood a little bit here.
00:41:45.040
This is always fun. Something a little bit, uh, a little bit more enjoyable,
00:41:48.040
which is Brian Stelter on, um, on CNN, you know, Jeff Zucker, CNN boss,
00:41:54.160
he stepped down last week involved in another, another sex scandal. And there are a lot of,
00:41:58.780
uh, I haven't spent a lot of time reading into the story. It doesn't matter that much.
00:42:01.560
There are a lot of details that don't seem to make, make much sense. I think,
00:42:04.300
I suspect there's more to it than that. He was involved in some kind of consensual sexual
00:42:08.440
relationship, uh, with another executive. There's probably more going on, but whatever
00:42:12.180
is going on there, it's, it's sex related. And it seems like at CNN, everybody's having sex with
00:42:16.780
everybody else except Brian Stelter. He's the only one getting left out. And, um, I think that
00:42:21.020
especially is making him pretty upset. And so here he is on CNN. We'll play a little bit of this,
00:42:26.280
uh, practically on the verge of tears, mourning the loss of Jeff Zucker, but also
00:42:30.620
wanting to let the world know that we need CNN, that CNN is very important. Let's listen to some
00:42:35.860
of this. I want to end the hour with a final thought, and I'm going to go a little bit, uh,
00:42:40.500
rogue here. So bear with me. Okay. Jeff Zucker's departure was shocking to the staff of CNN,
00:42:46.440
CNN, but CNN was not built by just one man, not by only Ted Turner. And it was not led only
00:42:55.100
by Jeff Zucker. CNN is so much bigger than any single individual. It is about teams and teams
00:43:04.100
of people, thousands of individuals who make up CNN. This place is not perfect. It will never be
00:43:11.600
perfect. We will always have flaws. We will always screw up. We will always have to run
00:43:16.520
corrections. We will always have to keep working to make it better and better and better every
00:43:20.180
single day. That is the goal. But the people who say we're lacking journalism, that we've become an
00:43:27.320
all talk channel, that we've run off and we're all opinions all the time, that Jeff Zucker led us
00:43:33.780
astray. Those people aren't watching CNN. Well, because nobody is. They're not watching
00:43:38.820
CNN. They're watching complaints about CNN on other channels. Because nobody's watching it.
00:43:44.260
That's the truth. Let's put the map up on screen of bureaus around the world. CNN has more bureaus
00:43:50.660
around the world than almost any other news organization on the planet. Those are all the
00:43:54.680
international airports are. That map covers the world. London and Moscow. Those are all the airport
00:43:58.480
terminals. And Nairobi and all the rest. That's why one of the network slogans is go
00:44:02.700
there. On the day Jeff Zucker resigned, CNN aired more than 135. Go there. That's not a very good
00:44:09.640
slogan. Look, okay. All right. Shut up. Go there. I mean, yeah. Some of the people at CNN, they really
00:44:17.340
go there. You know, Jeffrey Toobin masturbating during work meetings. They're really going there
00:44:23.900
in a lot of ways. I just, I love that. These people, they don't, they have people criticizing
00:44:30.680
CNN and they don't watch it. Yeah. No one's watching it. I understand that they have bureaus
00:44:34.980
and they're all, yeah, it's because it's on in the airport and that's where people watch
00:44:39.040
it. No one else is watching it. He goes on for a while there because he really sees this.
00:44:45.640
He's like, he thinks that this is important to people. He thinks that, he thinks that average
00:44:51.920
Americans sitting at home, first of all, he believes that they're watching his show, which
00:44:56.600
none of them are. But then he also believes that they're concerned that Jeff Zucker is
00:45:01.740
no longer the CEO of CNN. But CNN, they're going to keep at it. And they're going to keep
00:45:09.600
having sex with each other with reckless abandon, except for Brian Stelter. And that really is
00:45:13.800
the greatest tragedy. Let's get now to the comment section.
00:45:16.940
Daily cancellations are the law and order of the day. We're the Sweet Baby Gang.
00:45:26.420
All right. Dailywire.com slash Sweet Baby Comments is where you can leave a video comment. We've got
00:45:30.760
a bunch of video comments while we were gone. We'll play just a couple of, let's, I want to start
00:45:33.920
with, with clip 12 though. Let's start here with 12.
00:45:39.380
Howdy, Mr. Walsh. My name is Caleb and I'm the president of the Texas A&M chapter of Young
00:45:42.980
Americans for Freedom. Our pronouns are gig slash them. And we are super excited to have you here
00:45:50.140
on campus Wednesday, February 9th, 7 p.m. Bethany Court Ballroom. Tickets are free at
00:45:55.760
tamuyaft.org. But yeah, we're super excited that you're here. And I think all of us here believe
00:46:00.600
that all of your sweet babies in College Station should be mandated to be at this event by penalty
00:46:06.060
of death. As the, as theocratic fascist dictator and cult leader, we think that you have the power
00:46:11.400
to do that. And it would only be just, or if you think maybe even a worse punishment to be banned
00:46:15.900
from the show. Uh, that's just what we think. We're super stoked that you're coming out. Thanks
00:46:19.520
and gig them. Uh, yeah, that's a good, good opportunity to promote the fact that I will be
00:46:26.860
speaking at Texas A&M on Wednesday. And, uh, I mean, that's their suggestion that anyone on campus
00:46:31.980
who refuses to come penalty of death. I mean, that's, that's something we could think I'd have to
00:46:36.200
talk to the, um, you know, the security there and the local police to see if we can organize
00:46:41.400
something like that. I'm not sure if they're going to go along with it, but I'll be there,
00:46:44.060
uh, on, uh, on Wednesday. So I hope you guys will, will, uh, will show up. I kind of expect,
00:46:50.040
I don't know, Texas A&M it's, it's more conservative even than most Christian universities,
00:46:55.160
which says a lot more about Christian universities than anything else. And the last Christian university
00:46:59.480
I went to, of course, there was a mobs of leftists screaming in the street in horror.
00:47:03.840
I don't expect that kind of reaction at Texas A&M, but then again, you never know. So we'll see.
00:47:08.980
All right, let's go to a clip nine. Sweet daddy Walsh. Just want to say, hope you're doing something
00:47:15.540
important on these days off my brother. Cause you forced me to listen to Knowles. It's almost
00:47:21.420
unforgivable. You might be at me from the show for this, but I never listened to Knowles, man.
00:47:28.160
And I, and I know I just said never to apologize, but that is one thing that I will,
00:47:32.060
I will say, I'm deeply sorry for that. We have one more clip. This is an, I love these because
00:47:36.680
these are always inspiring. Let's play clip 10.
00:47:51.700
Good. So returning the shopping cart and singing the sweet baby gang anthem at the same time.
00:47:56.220
I have, I have people all across the country now filming themselves, recording,
00:48:01.980
recording as they return shopping carts. And I might be very confusing for the other people in
00:48:07.080
the parking lot, but it's a movement that we've started. Um, all right, let's go to some of the
00:48:11.420
written comments. This is Seymour. These are kind of random comments from some of the videos we posted
00:48:14.680
and some of the, maybe the, you know, I've had to pull from various places cause we didn't have a
00:48:18.760
show last week, but Seymour Fields says, Matt Walsh really just told guys to buy their girlfriends
00:48:23.740
and wives cleaning supplies for Valentine's day. And I promptly fell out of my chair laughing
00:48:28.700
at work. Well, I think it's a good recommendation because, uh, you know, I've been married for 10
00:48:33.200
years, as you know, and, uh, I've learned quite a lot about women and how they work. And when it
00:48:37.020
comes to gifts, what, what they care most about is, is it practical? Can I use it? That's why women,
00:48:42.800
they don't want diamonds and jewelry and all this kind of stuff. You can't use that. They want things
00:48:47.460
they can use cleaning supplies from naturally it's clean. Jay bling says Matt is one of the very few
00:48:54.380
popular YouTuber commentators who doesn't fall into the preferred pronoun fantasy. I respect him
00:49:00.180
immensely for that. Well, I appreciate that, but, um, it's kind of sad that that's something you have
00:49:08.340
to respect me for is because I'm just going to call a man, a man, or a woman, a woman.
00:49:13.000
Um, it's, that's not something that should require any kind of courage or anything like that.
00:49:21.060
Um, ML 34 says, Matt, I saw your tweets about 1883. I think you're being unfair. It's a pretty
00:49:27.980
good show. Yeah, I did kind of, I went off on, on, on that last night. This is one of the struggles I
00:49:33.620
have in my marriage with, with my wife is that I'm always trying to enlighten her with important
00:49:38.020
commentary before, during, and after the shows and movies that we watched together. And, uh, she has
00:49:43.640
no appreciation for that whatsoever. And that's why I ended up putting most of this stuff on Twitter
00:49:47.720
because I try to give these lectures to my wife, um, while we're watching these shows and she's,
00:49:53.400
she's just not a receptive audience at all. So we're watching the show 1883 yesterday on Paramount plus.
00:50:01.460
And, um, it's, it's a Western about a group of settlers who are traveling across the country
00:50:06.060
from Texas to Oregon and it's set in the year 1883, as you might expect. And I think I mentioned
00:50:11.580
on the show before, cause I recommended it because it started as a kind of gritty classic old fashioned
00:50:16.900
Western. And I, I liked it and I'm, and I'm thinking it's, it's been so long since it's pretty
00:50:24.520
rare that we get a good Western from Hollywood, especially a television show. I mean, the last
00:50:29.360
good one was, I don't know, Lonesome Dove. I'm highly, highly critical of modern Westerns because
00:50:34.760
they're so often botched and to such an absurd degree that it's offensive. It offends me,
00:50:39.760
but this show starts well, stars Sam Elliott, um, which is great casting and, uh, and it's a good
00:50:46.660
show. And then about three or four episodes in, it turns into this soap opera where the main character
00:50:52.320
and the main focus is this teenage girl and her love life. And of course, at the same time, she's a,
00:50:57.500
she's this tough, tough as nails, cow girl. And all the women in the show, of course, are tough
00:51:03.140
gunslingers, all of them. And the whole show starts to focus around these women. I mean,
00:51:09.740
you've got Sam Elliott in a Western where they're going across the old, the old West and okay,
00:51:17.140
I know we're going to, we're going to focus it on the teenage girl and her love life.
00:51:20.220
And then the latest episode was the last straw for me because the caravan, they make its way,
00:51:25.120
it makes its way into Comanche country. And this is when the show should really turn on, right?
00:51:30.940
Because keep in mind that the Comanches were ruthless warriors. They were the most dangerous
00:51:35.340
and violent Indian tribe in the country. Um, and, uh, this is where we should be getting in the show
00:51:40.840
a whole bunch of, of awesome, intense battles between cowboys and Indians, and it should be
00:51:45.580
great. But instead the group meets up with some Comanches and they're all friendly and kind and wise
00:51:52.580
and they speak perfect English and they end up being like the, the, the superhero guardians for
00:51:58.360
the group. And they're kind of following the group from a distance. And every time the group
00:52:02.980
gets into a bind, they swoop in to save them. Yeah. Because that's what the Comanches would have done
00:52:07.880
in 1883 in the old West. That's yeah, sure. That's the, anytime they saw a group of white settlers,
00:52:14.860
what they all said to themselves, Hey, let's make sure, let's make sure we can usher them.
00:52:17.620
Let's risk our lives to make sure that they can make it across the great plains unscathed.
00:52:24.340
And then the ultimate jump to shark moment was when there was a, there was a tornado coming.
00:52:28.860
And so once again, the Comanches swoop in to save the, uh, the hapless white people.
00:52:33.880
And, uh, and, and, and while the tornado is going over top these people, the Comanche and the teenage
00:52:41.100
girls start making out while there's a tornado and her hat doesn't even fly off. And then when all
00:52:46.380
is said and done and the caravans destroyed and wagons are destroyed and all their supplies are
00:52:50.940
gone and everything, and they're probably going to die. And the, the, the father goes up to the
00:52:55.220
teenage girl and says, Oh, you know, did you, how did you do? Are you okay? And she says, it was
00:52:58.680
beautiful, daddy. It was beautiful. The tornado was beautiful. They just said, we're all going to die
00:53:04.560
now, but it was beautiful because you made out with the Indian during it. My God. Anyway, I was trying
00:53:10.920
to explain all this while we were watching the show last night with my wife and, uh, she did not want to hear
00:53:16.200
it any more than probably anyone right now wants to hear it either. Well, as you all know, I am a
00:53:20.000
theocratic fascist and a beloved LGBTQ children's book author. And as a man who bears this, uh,
00:53:25.080
extremely valid and important title, I'm always looking for new ways to expand my influence across
00:53:29.760
a nation that's deep in need of spiritual guidance and also to, uh, to profit as well. It's another
00:53:34.860
thing I'm worried about. So I ask you, the loyal followers of my regime to, uh, to show your
00:53:40.240
dedication by wearing it on your sleeve, literally. So from this point forward, I will be releasing a very
00:53:44.920
limited edition patch once a month for you to wear because it's an utmost importance that, uh, values
00:53:51.200
such as saving abuelas, returning grocery carts, spreading anti-panda sentiment. It's, it's very
00:53:55.840
important to share this with the public. So these are patches that you can wear. I think you put them
00:53:59.760
on your, like a shirt sleeve. You could iron them directly onto your skin. I can't officially recommend
00:54:06.340
that, but I will say that that's the most dedicated person. That's what they would do. The future of this
00:54:10.900
nation depends on you. Inspire your friends and family to return their grocery carts and question
00:54:15.400
the existence of pandas at the same time. My followers will also receive a digital version
00:54:19.200
of the patch for their online daily wire profile. Remember stock up on these patches. Uh, the stock
00:54:24.360
will be very limited. So make sure you, you go pick up the first release of patches right now
00:54:28.220
because we all know this world needs it. Go to dailywire.com slash shop and, uh, get your first
00:54:34.480
patch today. Also a great Valentine's day card, um, or Valentine's day gift as well. You can get a

Valentine's for your, for your, for your wife, get them a, uh, Matt wall show patch. They're
00:54:43.700
going to love that. Um, uh, also speaking of Valentine's day, we also have, uh, and there's
00:54:48.580
no copy for this at all. Really? There's riff, riff on how great they are. So our, our copy
00:54:56.040
editors was taking the week off. So, um, what I'm being told is to riff on how great they
00:55:00.700
are. And it's, it's easy to riff on these Valentine's day daily wire, daily wire Valentine's
00:55:04.840
day cards, um, which are, I tell you what, they are great. The thing about these cards
00:55:11.700
that jumps out at me when I look at them is I think they're great. These are just great
00:55:17.980
cards. So you can get 12 of them for nine 99 by going where I don't know. Cause it doesn't
00:55:24.840
say dailywire.com. I assume you'll find it there. Finally, this Thursday, February 10th
00:55:31.080

00:56:30.820
sure to tune in before then. Now let's get to our daily cancellation.
00:56:38.560
Now, the other story that was at the top of the headlines while I was journeying across
00:56:41.460
the third world was that of the NFL head coach who claims that he's being oppressed and persecuted
00:56:46.480
by the league, which has made him a millionaire. As you may have heard, Brian Flores, the black
00:56:51.140
man was fired by the Miami dolphins after the team underperformed and missed the playoffs.
00:56:56.500
Now the NFL is notorious for firing head coaches at the drop of a hat. If you have one bad season,
00:57:01.860
you're going to be out on your butt. You may even be fired after a good season. The most infamous
00:57:06.060
such example is Marty Schottenheimer back, I think it was 2006, 2007. He was fired by the Chargers
00:57:11.500
after a 14 and two season. Jim Harbaugh was run out of town by the 49ers after winning 44 games in
00:57:18.700
three seasons and taking his team to the super bowl. And both of those coaches, by the way,
00:57:23.100
are white. So this rule applies to white and black coaches. Like you have to win, you have to win a
00:57:27.960
lot. You have to win now and you have to win playoff games or you get canned because the only
00:57:33.980
thing that the NFL cares about is winning. That's all that matters. Now, not all teams are very good
00:57:39.380
at achieving that objective, but that is the objective nonetheless. So Flores, he got fired
00:57:44.620
like many Miami Dolphins coaches before him and he could have taken his lumps and quickly gotten a
00:57:51.780
new job either as a head coach or a coordinator with a new team. Instead, he chose to file a lawsuit
00:57:56.860
claiming that he's the victim of racism. He says that systemic racism in the NFL prevents black men
00:58:02.460
like himself from becoming coaches, even though he is a coach and has been and has held a coaching job
00:58:07.480
in the league for years. Notably, the text of his lawsuit, which reads like a compilation of tweets
00:58:13.360
from accounts with BLM slogans in their profiles, doesn't offer any evidence of racism. Instead,
00:58:18.920
it makes a series of unsubstantiated and sometimes quite wild allegations, allegations which, if true,
00:58:24.420
still wouldn't amount to racism. Flores also accuses the New York Giants of bringing him,
00:58:29.980
of bringing him in for an interview just because he's a minority, even though they had already
00:58:34.620
determined to hire somebody else. I don't know if that's true or not, but, but it might be.
00:58:40.180
And the reason that it might be is that is because the Giants would have been following the very
00:58:45.680
affirmative action policies that were meant to alleviate the mythical racism against black
00:58:50.040
coaching candidates that Flores is complaining about. So the league has a policy called the
00:58:54.860
Rooney Rule, which requires teams to interview minority candidates. Even if they already know they
00:59:00.220
want to hire somebody else, they have to bring in a minority candidate for an interview. That's the rule.
00:59:04.140
The Giants followed that rule and for their trouble, they're now being sued for bigotry,
00:59:09.660
bigotry against black coaches because of a rule that was put in place for their sake.

The NFL has defended itself meekly, assuring the public that it's not engaging in any conspiracy
00:59:19.740
to prevent black people from becoming coaches. And yet while defending itself, Commissioner Roger
00:59:51.660
We aren't racist, but if you think we're racist, then yes, we're totally racist because it would be
00:59:57.440
racist to tell you that you're wrong about us being racist. Brian Flores, meanwhile, is doing
01:00:03.060
the media tour trying to make his case. Here he is with Don Lemon.
01:00:06.660
I believe that the system is broken in the National Football League in regards to hiring minorities and
01:00:13.500
black coaches, head coaches and people in positions of power, GM, head coach. And I'm doing it
01:00:20.980
because I think about my two boys and my daughter. And there just simply isn't enough representation
01:00:29.840
of people who look like them in head coaching roles, in general manager roles, in executive
01:00:36.100
and president roles in the National Football League. And I want them to be able to
01:00:40.320
look at those roles. I want them to be able to look and believe that they can get into a role like
01:00:47.960
that. And that's simply not the case right now. Inspiring. Inspiring. Poor guy, too. I mean,
01:00:54.240
multi-millionaire coach in the NFL. Nobody has suffered as much as him, except Colin Kaepernick
01:01:00.020
and, you know, the employees of Spotify. Those are really the groups in America, in the world,
01:01:06.280
that have suffered the most. Now, yeah, he's rich and prominent and powerful,
01:01:09.420
powerful, but he could be even more rich and prominent and powerful if not for all the racism.
01:01:15.060
You know, so this is a guy sitting there saying, yeah, I've got, you know, $10 million,
01:01:19.080
but I could have $20 million if not for all this racism. Notice how he says the system is broken
01:01:25.860
with regards to hiring black coaches, but then quickly qualifies by saying head coaches. Why? Well,
01:01:31.600
because, in fact, there are tons of black coaches, tons of black coordinators,
01:01:35.720
tons of black players and staff at all levels. Black people are massively over-represented in
01:01:41.660
the NFL in comparison to population size at almost every position and every level on every team.
01:01:48.100
Black people make up 13% of the population, yet nearly 60% of the athletes in the league.
01:01:54.080
But there are a few areas where that's not the case, which can only be the product of racism,
01:01:58.620
he says. I wonder, though, if the system is broken in regards to hiring black head coaches,
01:02:03.820
what about the system in regards to hiring white cornerbacks? There are currently zero of those
01:02:10.380
in the entire league. There are also very few white running backs, very few white wide receivers,
01:02:17.160
a few, but not many. Very few white safeties, white linebackers. The vast majority of the highest
01:02:24.340
paid stars in the league at most positions are not white. Is that a sign of anti-white bias? Well,
01:02:30.980
no, of course not. Because under-representation of whites is never racism, while under-representation
01:02:36.880
of blacks is always racism. So you see how that works. There's no evidence or reason to believe
01:02:43.080
that any black man has ever been turned down for a coaching job because of his race. The claim is
01:02:47.100
preposterous on its face, though that might change. Thanks to the Kaepernick wing of the NFL,
01:02:54.100
here's what I will say. And media matters are going to have a lot of fun with this.
01:02:59.260
If I were an NFL owner right now, I might at this point actually hesitate to hire any coach who is
01:03:05.780
not a straight white male. If I'm running an NFL organization in the year 2022, I would prefer to
01:03:11.560
hire a straight white male. Why? Because a straight white male is the only kind of coach I can fire
01:03:18.080
without being sued. Flores and his ilk pretend that they're helping more black people get hired,
01:03:23.700
but the opposite is the case. Whereas before race may not have factored into the equation,
01:03:28.960
now owners have to think when evaluating a black candidate, they have to think, well, you know,
01:03:33.000
if this guy leads us to a three and 14 season, I probably can't fire him without Al Sharpton holding
01:03:38.040
a press conference outside the stadium. But if I hire the white guy, I can fire him after a 14 and
01:03:44.420
three season and nobody will care. Flores doesn't care about that though, because this is all about
01:03:49.760
him. Being an NFL coach was profitable, but being a victim is even more profitable.
01:03:56.700
It used to be something of a joke to call somebody a professional victim.
01:04:00.400
Now that's a literal occupation available to certain demographics. They even offer college
01:04:05.160
degrees in the field. Why do something for money when you can sit around crying and make more money
01:04:09.880
and earn greater adulation for it? That's the calculation Flores has made. You can hardly
01:04:16.320
blame him from a financial perspective. I mean, it makes sense, but from a moral perspective and
01:04:21.160
the perspective of self-respect and dignity, which Flores has chosen to forfeit, we can certainly say to
01:04:27.220
him, you, sir, are canceled. And that'll do it for us today. Thanks for watching. Thanks for
