Today on the Matt Wall Show, the organizers of a sex camp for children are now allegedly in hiding
00:00:04.540
because of, quote, right-wing harassment from the likes of Ben Shapiro and yours truly and others.
00:00:09.760
According to the media, just because you hold masturbation workshops for kids
00:00:12.860
doesn't mean you can't be a victim too. Also, speaking of victims, fake victims anyway,
00:00:16.960
Jussie Smollett is released from jail proving that few people are more privileged in this
00:00:21.040
culture than someone who is gay, black, rich, and famous. Also, a children's hospital gives
00:00:25.580
advice on tucking for kids. Now, if you don't know what that is, you're going to find out today and
00:00:30.220
probably hate me for telling you. And a popular new song worships Ukrainian President Zelensky as a
00:00:35.100
Christ figure who has come to save the world. What's the problem with this kind of over-the-top
00:00:39.480
adulation of a political figure during wartime or any time? We'll talk about all that and more today
00:00:44.580
You know, we know that inflation is out of control right now and it's really hurting. It's hurting

00:02:12.100
the media and the Democrats were quick to hail her as a highly qualified, irreproachable candidate who
00:02:17.060
should be immediately confirmed because there's nothing to ask her or find out about her other
00:02:21.180
than the fact that she is simply wonderful in every way. Now, as expected, some Republicans joined
00:02:26.100
in this chorus as well, celebrating Jackson for her stellar resume, even though the most important
00:02:30.880
thing on her resume, as far as Biden was concerned, was her gender and her skin color. All in all,
00:02:36.180
the consensus from DC seemed to be that this nominee is perfect, unassailable, and there's nothing else
00:02:42.120
to see here, folks. Well, it turns out there was a little bit more to see. At least Senator Josh
00:02:47.040
Hawley decided to buck the trend and do a bit of homework on Kentonji Brown Jackson. What he discovered
00:02:52.420
was quite disturbing, disturbing especially because it's part of a larger trend. Now, in a series of tweets
00:02:57.760
last night, Hawley revealed, quote, Judge Jackson has a pattern of letting child porn offenders off
00:03:02.420
the hook for their appalling crimes, both as a judge and as a policymaker. She's been advocating for
00:03:07.240
it since law school. This goes beyond soft on crime. I'm concerned that this is a record that
00:03:11.360
endangers our children. As far back as her time in law school, Judge Jackson has questioned making
00:03:15.420
convicts register as sex offenders, saying it leads to stigmatization and ostracism. She suggested
00:03:21.240
public policy is driven by a climate of fear, hatred, and revenge against sex offenders. Now, I will say for the
00:03:27.520
record, taking a pause here for a moment, that I actually agree that we should get rid of the
00:03:32.740
sex offender registry, but that's only because anybody dangerous enough to be on the registry
00:03:37.860
should still be in prison. The registry only exists because the courts are releasing predators and
00:03:43.540
pedophiles into our communities who they, the courts, know are a danger to the public. So, rather than
00:03:50.520
writing their names on a list and putting another little red dot on a map, these people should just be
00:03:56.020
kept in their cages to begin with. And then we don't have to worry about it. It's absurd that
00:04:01.240
the legal system would actually label somebody a high-risk sex offender and then proceed to send
00:04:06.520
them into our neighborhoods. They could put a stamp on someone saying, high-risk sex offender. Okay,
00:04:12.560
you can go now. Get rid of the sex offender registry by extending prison sentences. That's my position.
00:04:20.540
Though Jackson wants to get rid of it for much the opposite reason. Now, back to Holly. It says,
00:04:26.920
Judge Jackson has also questioned sending dangerous sex offenders to civil commitment.
00:04:31.360
We have a civil commitment law in Missouri, and it protects children. It gets worse. As a member of
00:04:35.260
the U.S. Sentencing Commission, Judge Jackson advocated for drastic changes in how the law treats
00:04:39.980
sex offenders by eliminating the existing mandatory minimum sentences for child porn. Judge Jackson has
00:04:45.140
said that some people who possess child porn are in this for either the collection or the people who
00:04:51.140
are loners and find status in their participation in the community. What community would that be?
00:04:56.320
The community of child exploiters? Judge Jackson has opined that there may be a type of, quote,
00:05:00.700
less serious child pornography offender whose motivation is not sexual, but, quote,
00:05:05.160
is the challenge or to use the technology. A, quote, less serious child porn offender? In her time on
00:05:11.920
the U.S. Sentencing Commission, Judge Jackson said that she, quote, mistakenly assumed that child
00:05:16.240
pornography offenders are pedophiles, and she wanted to, quote, understand this category of
00:05:20.700
non-pedophiles who obtain child pornography. Non-pedophiles who obtain child pornography.
00:05:30.580
That's like, what, non-drunk drivers who happen to be driving while intoxicated.
00:05:36.220
Holly continues on for many other more tweets, revealing many more sordid details about this
00:05:42.180
highly qualified judge, but I think you get the idea. She believes that some people caught with
00:05:48.640
child porn aren't even pedophiles, and they might just be collectors. What, no different from someone
00:05:55.580
who collects baseball cards or stamps, maybe? Her reference to pedophiles as a community is
00:06:01.880
extremely disturbing because this is the classic thing. This is the classic move by people who
00:06:07.220
wish to normalize or excuse any sort of deviant behavior. It always begins by turning the deviants
00:06:13.420
into a community. That's always the first step. They're a community. A bunch of individual predators
00:06:20.660
and perverts, you know, they can be condemned. But a community, well, you can't say anything bad about
00:06:26.720
a community. You know, the people that nobody has any interest in excusing or validating or legitimizing,
00:06:34.100
we don't talk about them as communities. Like, nobody talks about the serial killer community. No one
00:06:39.100
says that, even though there are multiple serial killers in the world, but we don't talk about them
00:06:43.400
as a community. The word community is used when there is an effort to validate and generate sympathy.
00:06:51.420
That's the idea. And this, again, is part of a larger trend. As we've seen, there are many groomers
00:06:57.740
and predators on the left and many more who say that we should have sympathy for these kinds of
00:07:01.900
people. Speaking of which, you may remember last week when we discussed the, quote, sexy summer camp
00:07:06.800
for children hosted by a group of disgusting perverts in Kentucky. As uncovered by Chris Ruffeau,
00:07:12.340
the camp, meant for people of all ages, including kids, has lessons on sex liberation,
00:07:17.700
gender exploration, BDSM, being a sex worker, self-managed abortions, and sexual activity while
00:07:24.740
using licit and illicit drugs. The itinerary for the camp shows that the very first workshop on the
00:07:30.140
first day is a lesson on self-pleasure, which includes a, quote, hands-on masturbation demonstration.
00:07:38.140
One of the women who hosted the camp has been an outspoken advocate for childhood masturbation for
00:07:42.320
years. You probably remember the video that we played last week where she talks about this,
00:07:46.780
but if you didn't watch last week, and maybe you don't remember, unfortunately, I'm going to have
00:07:50.900
to play it again, and here it is. You know, like, get down with yourself, explore your own body.
00:07:56.780
Masturbation is really healthy, and I recommend it to people of all ages. All ages. As soon as my
00:08:03.580
nephews could talk, they were doing that. That's what they were doing. Kids touch themselves. Kids start
00:08:09.420
to ask questions, and we teach them the language for their bodies, right? That's your nose. Touch your nose.
00:08:15.780
Show Aunt T. You can touch your nose. But my sister's not saying that when they're tugging at their penis,
00:08:20.980
right? But it feels good, right? We have to learn ways to talk to young people about this so that
00:08:26.860
they know how to explore their body consensually so that it's not in public, right? We don't want
00:08:31.980
people exploring their bodies in public. That's not consensual. But exploring your body at any age,
00:08:44.980
You know, we see a lot there. One of the things we see, part of this, is this female privilege.
00:08:52.780
Because I tell you something, if that was just a dude talking about, you know, as like an uncle,
00:09:00.060
talking about how he likes to talk to his nieces and nephews about masturbating, there would be
00:09:10.040
universal agreement that this guy is a pedophile, a predator, and needs to be put in prison and kept
00:09:15.880
away from kids. Now, there should obviously be universal agreement on this too. But there isn't.
00:09:22.280
You know, there's agreement really just on one side of the aisle. As I discovered when I called
00:09:30.040
this out on my show, and so did many people on the right to include Ben Shapiro, some Fox hosts like
00:09:34.660
Laura Ingram, lo and behold, turns out, and as I saw last night, that we as the critics of the sex
00:09:40.780
camp for kids have become the bad guys. And the groomers giving masturbation demonstrations to
00:09:48.920
children, they're the helpless victims. The feminist website Jezebel published this report
00:09:53.400
with the headline, a group of sex ed teachers are afraid for their lives amid right-wing harassment
00:09:58.640
campaign. Now, I should note that I found out about this article because I was tagged in a post
00:10:03.420
by the Catholics for Choice page on Twitter linking to this article with their caption, which said,
00:10:08.600
this is horrifying and sadly more and more common as right-wing extremists continue to feel more and
00:10:14.040
more emboldened to target others with their vitriolic hatred. Shame on Laura Ingram,
00:10:18.920
Ben Shapiro, Matt Walsh, and everyone else bullying these teachers. Now, it's no surprise
00:10:23.600
that the heretics who call themselves Catholic while whoring themselves out for the abortion
00:10:27.300
industry would take the side of groomers. That doesn't surprise me at all. As for the article,
00:10:32.800
it says, quote, a group of sex education teachers in Appalachia are afraid for their lives, so much so
00:10:37.660
that they're having to hide in safe houses after Christopher Ruffo, the right-wing activist credited by
00:10:43.060
The New Yorker for effectively, quote, inventing the conflict surrounding critical race theory,
00:10:47.440
has now set his sights on exposing their program. Since the thread was published,
00:10:52.120
the program was featured on the Ingram Angle, was called out in an advertisement for a populist
00:10:56.260
conservative think tank, and has attracted the attention of a slew of well-known conservatives
00:10:59.380
like Ben Shapiro and Matt Walsh. Now, program staffers have been doxed on Twitter with a user
00:11:04.460
on social media likening them to witches, predators, and pedophiles, and calling for their arrest.
00:11:10.440
The online attacks have become so prevalent that they've recently been forced to seek refuge at a
00:11:14.500
safe house. A source close to the women told Jezebel, and an allied local pro-abortion
00:11:19.360
organization has also created a spreadsheet to track threats of violence and death against the
00:11:24.640
staff. By the way, why do you think the abortion, you got Catholics for Choice, a pro-abortion
00:11:30.780
organization, why are they so invested in this? Do you think about that? Why are they so invested
00:11:35.400
in sexualizing children? Why do they care? Planned Parenthood? The abortion industry is very invested
00:11:42.320
in this. Why is that? A part of it is that they hate kids. They despise children. They kill them. They
00:11:48.920
see children as just things to be exploited. But also because the more that they can encourage
00:11:59.140
sexual activity younger and younger, then the more customers they're going to have.
00:12:06.020
To clarify something else, some of these women, we're accused of calling them witches, but actually
00:12:10.820
these women call themselves witches. Now, I probably would have still called them witches because they
00:12:16.100
are, even if they didn't identify as such, but that's irrelevant. Now, back to the article. It says,
00:12:21.740
Since last Tuesday, Sexy Sex Ed, our educators and our funders have been flooded with hundreds of
00:12:32.180
threatening messages across all platforms, the group wrote in a statement on their website.
00:12:36.480
We recognize that the current misinformation attack against Sexy Sex Ed is part of a long-term,
00:12:40.760
highly funded and coordinated strategy of the right to maintain and entrench their power through media
00:12:45.780
and narrative control. Now, the statement from the sex camp workers is,
00:12:51.740
lengthy and calls me out by name along with Rufo and Ben Shapiro. I can't speak for those other two,
00:12:58.280
but I'm quite sure that they would join me in laughing hysterically at the very idea that we owe
00:13:04.380
these women an apology or any sort of sympathy at all. I also don't believe, by the way, that they got
00:13:11.180
the kind of threats that would require them to go to safe houses. I don't believe that. Okay. I just
00:13:15.740
don't believe it. I get threats all the time, much more than they do. And I've never fled to a
00:13:21.600
safe house because of them. Now, regardless, I don't condone threats or violence, but the general
00:13:27.240
anger directed at these predators is due entirely to their own actions. Nobody forced them to hold
00:13:35.700
masturbation and BDSM workshops for kids. They had to think of that in their own dark, twisted,
00:13:42.580
little, disgusting brains and make the choice to put their bizarre fantasies into practice.
00:13:49.320
What they didn't expect is that anybody outside of their community, their community, quote unquote,
00:13:55.840
of weirdo perverts would notice or hold them accountable. But this is what evil does.
00:14:02.940
When it's exposed, it shrinks away, securries off to the corner like cockroaches, plays the victim,
00:14:11.860
manipulates, woe is me. It's a dishonest game and a repulsive tactic. But it means we're pointing
00:14:20.400
the light exactly where it needs to be. Now let's get to our five headlines.
00:14:25.560
Well, with the ever-increasing numbers of car makes and models, it's basically impossible to
00:14:36.820
stock all the parts you need in a traditional chain storefront. So that's why there's no reason
00:14:41.440
to go and just walk around aimlessly looking for the vehicle that you need. And then you have to go
00:14:46.680
and talk to the counterman and order the parts on his computer anyway. You have computers with
00:14:51.980
access to rockauto.com at home and in your pocket. Why would you choose to spend 30%, 50%, 100% more
00:14:57.580
for the exact same auto parts at a chain store or a new car dealership? There's no reason to do that.
00:15:02.020
Rockauto.com is a family business. They've been serving auto parts customers online for 20 years.
00:15:06.140
You can go to rockauto.com to shop for auto and body parts from hundreds of manufacturers. They have
00:15:10.000
everything that you might need from engine control modules and brake parts. They've got motor oil,
00:15:14.020
new carpet, everything you could possibly need. The rockauto.com catalog is unique and remarkably easy
00:15:18.760
to navigate. Quickly see all the parts available for your vehicle and choose the brand specifications
00:15:22.980
and prices you prefer. Best of all, prices at rockauto.com are always reliably low and the same
00:15:28.160
for professionals and do-it-yourselfers. Go to rockauto.com right now, see all the parts available
00:15:32.100
for your car or truck and write Walsh in their how did you hear about us box so they know that we sent
00:15:37.040
you. All right. I also love the claim that we engaged in misinformation. We know that that word,
00:15:45.300
like so many other words, pretty much any word that the left commonly uses, the fact that they're
00:15:50.560
using it so often means that they've removed it of all meaning because they never use any words as
00:15:55.060
they're supposed to be used. So misinformation is one of those. And we're accused of a misinformation
00:16:00.140
campaign. Literally what Chris Ruffo did is he found their actual program and videos of them
00:16:07.340
speaking and said, here's what's happening. Here's their actual program from their sex camp for kids.
00:16:12.980
And it lists it all. A very, uh, you know, just right, right there. You can read it. This is
00:16:18.480
the first workshop, the second. And so for him to take that and say, look, everybody, here's this
00:16:26.840
thing, this thing that's happening, much of which they got from their own website, that that's
00:16:32.840
misinformation now. Right. Um, let's start with this from CNN. Jussie Smollett was released from jail
00:16:40.520
Wednesday night after an Illinois appeals court granted an emergency motion by his defense
00:16:44.760
attorney. Smollett's legal team is looking to delay his sentence and grant him bond until their appeal
00:16:49.260
of his conviction is decided on. The former empire actor was sentenced last week to 30 months of
00:16:53.560
felony probation, including 150 days in jail. Um, and, uh, including some restitution as well.
00:17:00.960
Quote, there's no room for politics in our court system. Defense attorney Nenya Uche said in a news
00:17:05.980
conference shortly after the actor's release, regardless of what you think about this case,
00:17:08.540
the real question is, should black men be walked into jail for a class four felony?
00:17:13.960
That's a disgrace. The attorney added. Um, and, uh, you get to the reason for this release. There
00:17:22.620
isn't, there wasn't much reason given, um, by the court for why they're releasing Jussie Smollett from
00:17:29.900
prison. We know the real reason, which we'll get to in a second. Um, as far as any reason,
00:17:35.580
what they, what they basically say is that, uh, well, the appeal is going to take a long time
00:17:39.820
and it's only 150 days in jail. So he'll, he'll, he's appealing the sentence. And by the time the
00:17:46.500
appeals decided the sentence will be over anyway. So we're just going to let him out of jail by that
00:17:51.120
logic. Well, I guess we're never going to send anybody to jail again for the six month sentences,
00:17:58.240
I guess are out the window now, because that's always going to be the case that if you appeal
00:18:02.100
it, uh, the appeal will take longer than the sentence. So is that what that means? We can't,
00:18:06.840
we can't send anybody to jail for that amount of time. This only further affirms what, what I said
00:18:14.540
immediately after the sentence was passed down. And there were people talking about, even people who
00:18:18.800
were happy that he was going to jail were saying, Oh, that's pretty harsh sentence. Uh, you know,
00:18:23.160
it, no, it should have been much more than that. He should have been looking at five, 10, 15 years
00:18:30.040
for all the reasons that we've talked about, given that he's, given that he's unrepentant,
00:18:35.980
um, given the just sociopathic nature of the, everything that went into the premeditation,
00:18:41.960
as I pointed out many times, the fact that he was, he was willing to let innocent people take the fall
00:18:48.340
for him. Um, all of that perjured himself on the stand, you know, was, was trying to inflame racial
00:18:56.960
tensions would have been fine. If there was a, if there was a riot in Chicago over this, he would
00:19:03.200
not only would have been fine with it. He was, he would have been happy about it. He probably was
00:19:05.920
upset that there was no riots. That's yet another thing that makes him a victim is that people
00:19:10.620
weren't writing over it. So you take all that consideration. You could easily justify the max prison
00:19:16.480
sentence, which would have been as the sentencing judge admitted 15 years and he should have gotten
00:19:20.340
all 15 years. And then at least they can't release him from jail on the excuse that the appeal will
00:19:27.720
take longer than the sentence. Uh, but now he's at a jail and his defense attorney says, well, should
00:19:34.520
we be, should we be marching? Should we, should we be walking black men into jail for class four
00:19:40.620
felonies? Let me answer that question for you. If I could, the answer is a yes. Why shouldn't we be
00:19:49.060
what, why shouldn't we be walking black men into jail for class four felonies?
00:19:56.440
But the law stipulates that you can go to jail for those kinds of crimes.
00:20:00.940
Now you notice the only thing that the defense attorney is worried about is black men. So white
00:20:05.260
men, we can march. Oh yeah. Well, they can go to jail, but black men, how dare we put black men
00:20:10.280
in jail? He's almost admitting just by saying that he's almost admitting what we all know to be true
00:20:20.640
anyway, that despite all the talk about white privilege and everything else, there is privilege
00:20:26.460
in this country. There's no question about it. There are people who are privileged in many different
00:20:31.860
ways. You know, there's the basic kind of privilege that comes with being wealthy and having a lot of
00:20:37.500
money and being famous. Justice Millett has all that. There's also the privilege that comes tied
00:20:42.760
to identity. There is racial privilege. There is identity-based privilege. And it's privilege that
00:20:48.960
you experience in the culture, in society, through social advantages, and you also experience it in the
00:20:56.460
courtroom. But we're not giving that privilege out to white people unless they can claim some other
00:21:04.480
privileged identity for them. Now, a white person who says he's gay or trans, sure, he'll get some
00:21:09.860
privilege. But the reality is that Jussie Smollett, as a black, gay, rich, famous person, is almost as
00:21:20.500
privileged as you can possibly get. And that's exactly how he's gotten away with all of this.
00:21:27.280
Got away with doing all of this and getting on the stand and perjuring himself, lying to the court
00:21:36.160
for hours on end, which the sentencing judge mentioned that and pretended to be upset about it.
00:21:46.760
That's almost as privileged as you could possibly get in our society today. The only thing that would
00:21:51.140
make Jussie Smollett more privileged is if he was trans. That's the one thing. That's the one
00:21:55.820
advantage. The one card he hasn't played yet. Yet. I mean, emphasis on yet.
00:22:03.800
And maybe my guess is that now that he's out of jail and all the legal problems are going to be put
00:22:10.300
behind him, you know, the next thing that he's going to want is he's going to want to get back
00:22:14.620
into Hollywood and start starring in films again. And I think he'll have no problem doing that.
00:22:22.120
But if he really wants to make sure that Hollywood embraces him and he can get his whole life back
00:22:28.180
and maybe even benefit from this in the end, then just come out as trans. So that's my guess in the
00:22:35.040
next couple of years, Jussie Smollett. Jussie Smollett will become Jessica Smollett in the next
00:22:41.300
couple of years. That is my, my, my guess. Maybe Jussie is already a gender neutral name,
00:22:47.380
so he doesn't need to change it. It's all, it's already all set up for him. Okay. This is from
00:22:50.640
the Daily Wire. It says, Dorn Becker Children's Hospital in Portland, which bills itself as Oregon's
00:22:55.820
top-ranked children's hospital, boasts a gender clinic, which offers advice for the safe tucking
00:23:02.660
of a boy's genitals out of the way, quote unquote, that can make, quote, the genital area look smoother
00:23:08.920
and flatter, as well as a referral to a, quote, sex positive shop in Portland. They sell gender
00:23:14.840
affirming clothes items, as well as sex toys, videos, and more. So there's a children's hospital
00:23:22.060
referring children to a sex shop while also giving them tips on tucking. What's that all about? Well,
00:23:29.880
the resource on safe tucking from the gender clinic states, quote, safe tucking. What is tucking?
00:23:36.060
Tucking is moving the penis testicles or both out of the way. This makes the genital area look
00:23:40.240
smoother and flatter. Tucking can reduce any concerns you have about your body, how your clothes fit, and
00:23:44.980
how safe you feel in public. People of all genders can tuck. There are several different methods of
00:23:49.700
tucking. The information below helps you tuck in ways that are safe for your body. According to the
00:23:55.560
hospital's website, it works in cooperation with the Oregon Health and Science University Transgender
00:24:00.820
Health Program, the OHSU logo is also emblazoned on the safe tucking handout. The handout cautions,
00:24:09.000
quote, a note on the words we use. This information uses the words penis, scrotum, and testicles.
00:24:14.600
We know you may not use those terms or identify with them. We use them here to refer to body parts
00:24:19.300
that people with tucking needs have. People with tucking needs. While understanding those words are not
00:24:25.580
for everyone. The resource advises, it is best to tuck for the first time when you're planning to be
00:24:30.620
at home. This keeps you from stressing about having to get it right the first time. It's also easier to
00:24:35.540
learn what your body needs to be comfortable when you tuck. Choose a method that feels comfortable to
00:24:40.120
you. And I just can't even keep reading this. Absolutely revolting. And this is a children's hospital.
00:24:47.800
This is, you hear me talk about this issue all the time because you know that I believe that gender
00:24:57.300
ideology and especially its effects on kids, this is probably the number one issue we face as a society
00:25:04.100
right now. But even as much as I talk about it, if you listen to the show, you still probably don't
00:25:16.040
quite comprehend just how bad this is, how widespread this madness is, how ubiquitous, how ingrained it has
00:25:27.280
become. I don't think anyone, even I can't fully comprehend it because I'm living through it.
00:25:36.780
And it's the kind of thing that you can't fully understand. It's like it's a historical,
00:25:40.900
you know, anytime you're living through a historical period or some sort of historical event,
00:25:44.340
you, you, you, the people who are in it can't, they don't have the view of it that you have when
00:25:49.660
you're later, when you can look back. Um, and so even for me, it's, it's, it's impossible to fully
00:25:58.440
comprehend what we are doing to ourselves and especially to our kids. I mean, what this, this
00:26:07.260
generation that we're raising right now, what's, what's this generation going to look like in 30
00:26:16.220
years? How many of them are still going to be here? Because a huge portion, it's, I'll tell you
00:26:23.460
one thing we're going to see and we're already starting to see now, and it's only going to get
00:26:27.960
worse, mass suicide epidemic among these kids who, who we have taken. And when I say we, I mean,
00:26:38.340
society has, has taken and, uh, forced an identity crisis onto them and completely from the youngest
00:26:48.880
ages, completely morphed and deformed their, their, a concept of themselves and put them on a path
00:26:57.560
towards destroying and rejecting their own bodies. To a point where eventually they're going to look
00:27:06.380
back and so much damage has been done that can't be undone. And they're going to say, who am I? What
00:27:10.160
am I? What have, what have I done? What have you all as the adults allowed me to do? What have you
00:27:16.020
done to me? And we're, we're going to see a wave of despair and suicide, unlike anything the world has
00:27:23.300
ever seen before. Again, we're already seeing it. It's only going to get worse. The wave is going to
00:27:28.500
become a tsunami. And don't, don't comfort yourself by saying, well, this is a children's hospital in
00:27:35.060
Oregon. It's not the only children's hospital, but it's a children's hospital, a hospital telling kids
00:27:43.280
to do this. I don't think I need to get into an explanation of why giving tucking tips to little
00:27:52.220
boys is reprehensible and disgusting and horrible. One of the reasons is that we are encouraging our
00:28:03.980
kids again, to reject themselves, reject their own bodies. It's really the exact opposite of the
00:28:11.280
message that most of us grew up with, especially, you know, in the millennial generation back when I
00:28:16.760
was a kid and none of this stuff existed. Nobody was talking about any of this. But back then there
00:28:22.520
was this huge emphasis on embracing yourself and loving yourself and your own body. An emphasis that,
00:28:31.180
that oftentimes went, went way overboard and went into the realm of, you know, narcissism and encouraging
00:28:36.340
people to be sort of self-obsessed, but at least it was on the right path.
00:28:42.820
Okay. We, we, we, sometimes it went too far and we didn't go about it the right way all the time,
00:28:49.260
but it was the right path where you're at least telling people, okay, this is who you are. This
00:28:54.660
is your body. It's the only one you're ever going to get. So you should accept that, accept who you
00:29:02.020
are. Uh, you should love who you are, love the body that God has given you. The message now for
00:29:10.820
kids is exactly the opposite of that. And I'll tell you something else. Um, the people who see this kind
00:29:21.000
of thing are giving tucking tips to kids in a children's hospital. The people who see this and approve of
00:29:26.500
it, uh, I don't want to share a country with them. I don't want to be united with them. They are not my
00:29:36.320
brothers and sisters in the, in this country. They're not my friends. I don't want to be their
00:29:41.880
friends. I, I, I don't even want to be cordial towards them. We can't even be cordial. Like if
00:29:48.080
you're around me and I know that you're that kind of person who would approve of something like this,
00:29:51.940
I can't respect you as a human being. I don't want to be near you. I don't want to have a
00:29:58.440
conversation with you about anything. You disgust me. You are an evil, twisted, sick person.
00:30:10.860
And, uh, I don't see how it gets any better. All right, let's see what else we got here. Um,
00:30:16.560
we'll play this for you this week. The Senate committee on health, education, labor, and pensions
00:30:23.080
voted on an amendment that would block the government from enforcing mask usage and vaccines
00:30:29.760
for preschoolers and toddlers. I want to play this clip for you quickly and just listen to this and,
00:30:34.220
uh, tell me what you hear. And next we have Braun amendment number eight to prohibit HHS from
00:30:42.540
implementing or enforcing their regulations regarding mask or vaccination protections
00:30:46.700
in the headstart program. Again, I will be a no on this. Does anyone want Senator Braun's 15 seconds?
00:30:53.520
Seeing none. Clerk will call the roll. Senator Romney.
00:31:00.600
There's Senator Romney with the, uh, with the no, which means that he's, he, he doesn't want to
00:31:06.640
stop the government from forcing masks and vaccines on toddlers. He's, he's in favor of doing that
00:31:13.840
as a, as a Republican. This is the Republican party. All right, moving on quickly. Another clip I want
00:31:21.420
to play for you before we get to the comment section. Um, I don't exactly know why, but we
00:31:25.960
got it. We need a little bit of levity here. We need something a little bit less serious.
00:31:29.120
So Kim Kardashian was, you can't get less serious than that. She was on with Ellen and apparently
00:31:34.860
Ellen DeGeneres still has a show. I thought that she got run out of town and her show was canceled,
00:31:38.920
but apparently not. She's been doing a show and she was, um, interviewing Kim Kardashian,
00:31:43.420
talking about her wonderful romance with Pete Davidson. And this is what she said. Listen,
00:31:49.460
there's a tattoo that says Kim. Um, yeah, he has a few tattoos, few cute ones, you know,
00:31:55.860
that he got. Um, but this one is a, it's not that one. The Kim one isn't a tattoo. It's actually a
00:32:02.180
branding, like a branding because let me explain it because he wanted to do something that was really
00:32:10.800
different. Cause like, okay, first tattoo we got, I was like, Oh, so cute. Thank you. Oh my God.
00:32:15.540
So, you know, second, whatever. I'm like, Oh, that's so cute. But like, that's what tattoo people
00:32:19.620
do, right? Like they get tattoos of what's going on in their life. And wait, back up, back up.
00:32:24.880
Am I special? You said first tattoo. So he has three tattoos of you. It just sounds like this is
00:32:32.080
like the third. So the first tattoo was, you said kind of cute. So yeah, is it your name or is it
00:32:38.860
like a little branding is my name? Right. The other ones are like cutesy things. I think my
00:32:43.440
favorite one, it says here, it says, my girl is a lawyer. She a lawyer is Kim Kardashian, a lawyer.
00:32:53.060
That's there's a lot of information coming out on the show that I don't think anyone wanted to know.
00:32:56.660
One of them is a Kim Kardashian somehow has a law degree apparently. So Kanye West is the mentally
00:33:02.900
ill one here. And yet Pete Davidson is getting branded with his girlfriend's name. Kanye West
00:33:12.280
is a problem though. Here's the, here's the proper response when you're dating someone and
00:33:17.940
they get a tattoo of your name. It's just as soon as it's, it's a real, it's a real simple
00:33:22.300
thing. You're dating someone and, uh, they say you're, you're sitting down with them somewhere
00:33:28.160
and they say, Hey, check out this tattoo. I got your name. All you do very simply is you
00:33:32.520
just get up and you walk away and never talk to that person ever again. Um, now they get
00:33:39.300
three tattoos and that even, and a branding even more so that would be, that would be the
00:33:45.560
proper response. But of course, Kim Kardashian's a, uh, herself, a raging narcissist, obviously.
00:33:51.380
So she thinks, well, yeah, of course you're going to get branded. The whole world should be
00:33:54.960
branded with my name as far as she's concerned. All right. Um, one other quick headline. This
00:34:01.100
is from the New York post. It says a comment, 16 miles wide is heading towards earth. That's
00:34:08.840
the headline. So this is not the, this is different from the one that was the size of a giraffe
00:34:14.180
or the, or rather a half giraffe. This is one that's 16 miles wide and, uh, it's, it's heading
00:34:19.120
towards earth. My question is, when I read this, the first thing that I thought, I know you
00:34:22.840
had the same thought. I know for, you know, many people in the media, of course, had this
00:34:26.140
thought, but the first thing I thought, 60 mile wide comment heading towards earth.
00:34:29.480
How is this going to affect the LGBT community? Like marginalized communities are going to
00:34:35.220
be disproportionately impacted. That's my main concern by this earth destroying comment.
00:34:41.260
Turns out by the way, that when you, uh, when you click on the article that it's the comment
00:34:45.740
is heading towards earth, but it's just going to, it's going to orbit around and then go somewhere
00:34:49.340
else. So it's not actually going to hit the earth. Just another click bait, another click
00:34:54.100
bait, uh, asteroid article. It gets all, all of our hopes up as usual. Let's get to the
00:35:09.540
All right. Dailywire.com slash sweet baby comments. Do we have anything worth watching from there?
00:35:14.060
Let's try clip seven. Hey, sweet daddy. So I'm getting ready to watch your show.
00:35:23.620
And yesterday I did a little search on, uh, Ernest Shackleton because I was so inspired the other day
00:35:30.740
and, uh, knowing how much my public school education had failed me. I am going to, um, continue the journey
00:35:39.400
on my own and read this book. But I noticed this, uh, nice little comment on audible, uh, from Matthew
00:35:46.720
in 04 saying, I listened to this one in the car on my way to and from work each day. As the end
00:35:55.460
approached, I would sit in my car and listen. I couldn't bring myself to turn off the player.
00:35:59.820
I even cried twice. I never cry. Just wondering if that's you. Hmm. Anyways, uh, have a good show
00:36:12.540
today. Oh, one more thing. I, uh, purple nerpled my husband until he called you sweet daddy. So
00:36:20.960
yeah, sweet baby gang for life. Uh, the bit at the end there was just, well, that's, that's when we
00:36:27.980
get into the TMI range. I'm not sure that I needed that. Actually, I thought, see, this is written on
00:36:32.460
the clip sheet. It says, uh, did you write this Amazon review? So I thought it was gonna be a review
00:36:36.980
for my own book, Johnny the Walrus. It'd be a good product placement. But anyway, uh, no, I, I look
00:36:42.580
this is not, it's not, it is, it's an affecting book. Um, it's a good book, but we've gone through
00:36:50.980
the list, the appropriate reasons for men to cry and, um, a book didn't make the list unless we're
00:36:57.840
talking about the Bible. I have to allow it for that. If you're overcome, even there, don't overdo
00:37:02.600
it. But if you're reading the Bible and the spirit is moving you, then I, I can't, that I just, I can't
00:37:07.920
judge you for that without incurring, uh, the wrath of the almighty. So I'll allow it for that,
00:37:12.760
but no other book. All right. I'm being told that clip nine is good. Is it good? It's a minute and
00:37:20.660
27 seconds. You're telling me this is good. Okay. I'm McKenna is in my ear right now, promising me
00:37:27.280
that this one minute, 27 second clip will actually be good. So she's on the hook here. Okay. Let's
00:37:34.080
watch. Hey, Mr. Walsh, it's me. It's Uncle Murray. You know, I was looking through your
00:37:38.440
store and I didn't see no little Matt Walsh figurines or something from my dashboard. So
00:37:43.160
I thought, okay, I guess I'm going to have to make one myself. I figured I'd carve my own
00:37:47.720
little daddy Maddie out of a stick of wood. Here, watch, I'll show you. See, that's going
00:37:51.520
to be you. You got your leprechaun hat for St. Patrick's Day. Okay, here we go. Well, that's
00:37:56.180
the rough out of you. If your tools are sharp enough, you can go in sideways like a ninja.
00:38:01.100
If I don't trim that off, it'll look like you got this. Okay. Does he actually carve
00:38:05.140
the thing? What is he carving? From your tushy all the way down. He actually
00:38:09.180
carves me. Can we fast forward to the end where I see myself? Now I'm working
00:38:12.840
leprechaun and you let your beer grow out a little manlier, right? Wow. That's actually
00:38:18.740
impressive. I can't even tell the difference. Listen. Okay. I'm Matt Walsh. I like beer and
00:38:24.000
whiskey and I hate you. Okay. Okay, fine. I am. We didn't need a minute and 27 seconds
00:38:30.720
of that, but he actually carved that whole thing, huh? That takes talent. I'll give him
00:38:35.940
that. But please, stop sending your comments in. All the same. Let's see. Sidney Mercedes
00:38:44.080
says, Matt, you're banned if you make us listen to that song about Zelensky. That's cruel and
00:38:47.900
unusual punishment. Well, as you know, if I have to endure these things, so do you. So
00:38:52.560
stay tuned for the daily cancellation. Curly says, Matt, evolution only occurs within a species,
00:38:57.940
not between species. Herschel was entirely correct. Well, he wasn't because he misstated
00:39:02.240
what the theory is. And that was my point yesterday is that if you want to take this
00:39:05.280
on, you know, as a Christian, as a political candidate, for some reason, you feel like
00:39:09.780
you got to talk about evolution. You want to take on this issue. You need to at least
00:39:13.740
understand what the theory is, especially if you're going to take the skeptical side of
00:39:18.840
it. Because if you misrepresent what it is, then you're not achieving anything. You're just
00:39:25.100
going to get mocked and no one's going to listen to your critique and, uh, and all of
00:39:29.320
that. So he, he just, he didn't understand what the theory actually states. Uh, and that's
00:39:34.320
the problem. Heart for kids says, I love how you drop, draw a sharp breath and then say,
00:39:40.200
all right, when transitioning from one headline to the next, it's sweet. Now you just made me
00:39:45.180
feel weird about it. I can't even, now I just feel stressed. I feel weird about so many
00:39:50.580
things that have happened in the last five minutes. Uh, Brian Bauer says, I was about
00:39:55.120
to unsubscribe when Matt said he didn't approve of the daylight savings time change, but I
00:39:58.720
didn't realize they were talking about keeping it permanently in place. Once again, I should
00:40:02.040
always realize whenever I think that Matt is talking about a subject, uh, I should wait
00:40:06.520
to hear what his correct assessment is before continuing with life. Well, thanks Brian for
00:40:11.180
pointing that out because there were a lot of people in the comments that were disagreeing
00:40:13.560
with me. Um, and because they, they didn't understand again, they didn't understand what,
00:40:19.880
what, what, what, what Congress had done. They didn't abolish daylight savings time. They
00:40:24.260
have made it permanent. So they've taken this failed government policy and they've said that
00:40:28.380
now we're stuck with it forever. Abolishing it would be good. They did the opposite of that.
00:40:35.560
And finally, Sean says only Matt Walsh would get this worked up over daylight savings time.
00:40:39.920
You're going to give yourself an aneurysm, bro. That's my charm. If I have any charm at
00:40:43.980
all, it's about, it's because I get worked up about insignificant things, isn't it?
00:40:48.300
Tonight is Ben's third Thursday book club, and you've still got a chance to sign up if
00:40:52.400
you haven't yet. He'll be taking members through his analysis of a tale of two cities by Charles
00:40:56.320
Dickens. Remember, this is a live experience where you get to engage with him like never
00:40:59.920
before. Here's the thing. Even if you haven't read the book, you'll feel well read by the time
00:41:03.840
you're done. If anyone should be serving as your guide, when it comes to the most important
00:41:07.640
works of literature and existence, it's Ben. When you sign up, you also get his notes,
00:41:12.080
which is a cheat sheet to important lessons, themes, and characters. And remember, you're
00:41:15.920
doing all this with thousands of Daily Wire members live. And again, the really good thing
00:41:20.800
is that you don't have to read the book. You can just watch Ben, you get the notes, and
00:41:24.380
then from then on, you can pretend that you've read it. And if anyone challenges you and says,
00:41:28.360
oh yeah, what happened in that book? Well, you've got the notes and you can impress them
00:41:31.400
that way. So sign up for the Third Thursday Book Club at thirdthursdaybookclub.com to
00:41:36.340
get Ben's notes sent straight to your inbox for a tale of two cities and set a reminder
00:41:40.000
to join the conversation tonight at 8 p.m. Eastern. Also, as you all well know at this
00:41:44.860
point, the Daily Wire does not stop creating awesome new content. And we're super excited
00:41:48.340
about our latest docuseries, Fauci Unmasked. The show exposes the most successful failure
00:41:52.940
in government history, Dr. Anthony Fauci, hosted by our very own Michael Knowles. He'll peel back
00:41:57.180
the mask on Fauci's past and show the world's leading, quote, scientist for what he really is,
00:42:02.540
a fraud. The second episode dropped this morning and reveals just how ineffectively
00:42:05.780
the world's leading disease expert handled every crisis from swine flu to anthrax and everything in
00:42:10.500
between. Just to get a taste of it, here's a quick sneak peek. He's the highest paid employee
00:42:15.640
in our federal government. And beginning in the spring of 2020, Dr. Fauci began to set national policy
00:42:22.620
that affected the way that 330 million Americans lived their lives. For goodness sakes, I'm telling
00:42:29.000
you, wear a mask, keep social distancing. There's nothing political about that. But who is Anthony
00:42:35.680
Fauci? People who have conspiracy theories, those are people that don't particularly care for me.
00:42:42.440
In this short series, we will do what the establishment media have refused to do.
00:42:46.760
We will give you an unvarnished look at the career of the most powerful politician in America,
00:42:55.100
Don't you think it's time that you step down and let someone else who has a more effective message?
00:43:00.520
The latest part of the three-part series drops tomorrow, and it's available exclusively at The
00:43:10.360
Daily Wire. If you're not a member yet, head to dailywire.com slash subscribe to join today.
00:43:14.700
The show is excellent, and since we're only adding more content every day, you don't want to miss it.
00:43:18.720
So make sure you go check that out. Now let's get to our daily cancellation.
00:43:25.540
Well, as previously mentioned, or maybe threatened,
00:43:27.560
the daily cancellation today begins with a musical tribute from the admittedly quite talented John
00:43:37.460
On Jurassic. Whatever. His stage name is Five for Fighting. He wrote this song called
00:43:42.400
Can One Man Save the World for and About President Zelensky in Ukraine. It's been shared all over social
00:43:48.200
media and hailed by many people, including many conservatives, some of whom I respect,
00:43:52.200
as a stirring, beautiful, and well-deserved homage to the leader of Ukraine.
00:43:57.560
Newsweek catalogs some of these tearful reactions in an article headline,
00:44:01.300
Can One Man Save the World? A song about Zelensky takes internet by storm.
00:44:04.920
The article notes that the singer has performed the song on television as well, and
00:44:09.400
everywhere it's played, the audience becomes overwhelmed with warm emotions.
00:44:15.500
Now you can decide for yourself whether it's worthy of that sort of reaction.
00:44:20.800
Who is this comedian, his audience, more mice than men?
00:44:34.400
Great grandson of the Holocaust, an Eastern heart the West has lost.
00:44:45.780
But he's got everyone thinking Yeah, he's got all of us thinking
00:44:58.740
Can one man save the world in a thousand years?
00:45:05.420
Will they say your name or is this all in vain?
00:45:16.500
All right, so it's possible that I'm hearing things hallucinating, but I could have sworn
00:45:21.240
that the song presents Zelensky as Superman, Christ carrying his cross, and a Messiah who
00:45:31.360
I didn't listen to the rest of it, but I assume it ends with a modified version of the
00:45:38.160
Now, I agree with the general consensus that it is good and admirable for Zelensky to stay
00:45:47.520
Of course, the only other option, right, is to abandon your country and flee into the
00:45:52.520
night, which would be an act of unspeakable cowardice.
00:45:55.020
So Zelensky has chosen not to be an unspeakable coward, and that's good.
00:46:02.140
Doesn't make him Jesus Christ, though, or Superman.
00:46:04.540
And it's important to point that out, not for the sake of cheap cynicism, but for one
00:46:09.020
thing, because the Zelensky adulation was already teetering on the edge of sacrilege
00:46:13.700
and deification, and has officially fallen over that edge now, and is in a state of blasphemous
00:46:20.860
I shouldn't need to explain why, you know, talking about political leaders this way is, to borrow
00:46:24.740
a favorite leftist buzzword, problematic, especially from a moral and theological perspective,
00:46:32.360
And for another thing, when you hail somebody as a blameless hero, a literal Superman, a
00:46:37.560
savior figure who's fighting to save the world and redeem all of mankind, as many people have
00:46:42.100
done with Zelensky, and not just through this song, you've made it impossible to think critically
00:46:46.860
about him, about what he's doing and saying, and especially about what he wants us to do
00:46:56.140
Things could go any number of different ways, and some of them bad, and some of them very,
00:47:04.400
We are in a position where nothing really good is going to happen, but it's a question
00:47:13.380
What we need now, in a moment like this, are sober minds and people who are capable of careful
00:47:19.880
We need prudence, but that's out the window when you're literally bowing at the feet of
00:47:25.660
one of the people involved and worshiping him as some kind of demigod, a deity made flesh.
00:47:32.280
This kind of thing is not just cringy and annoying, though it is that it's also the sort
00:47:36.220
of thoughtless, hysterical, overzealous, emotionally driven mentality that leads people to do very
00:47:42.860
Now, as a general rule, there's absolutely nothing good that ever comes out of making supermen
00:47:48.100
out of political figures, and there's especially nothing good that comes of it when you do
00:47:57.040
Now, if we can keep our wits about us and stop with the slack-jawed drooling over Zelensky,
00:48:03.440
stop being a bunch of fangirls, treating a foreign politician like he's a pop star in concert,
00:48:08.080
and we're in the front row reaching out our hands and hoping that he touches us, if we
00:48:14.280
can knock that off and be grown adults for a change, then I think maybe this is the picture
00:48:21.340
He's a political leader whose country has been invaded.
00:48:29.000
Beyond that, most of us don't really know anything else about him.
00:48:34.220
Most of us had never heard his name or thought about him for even a second prior to three weeks
00:48:44.820
What was his role in the lead-up to this conflict?
00:48:48.420
These are details that the vast majority of Americans don't have.
00:48:51.800
The lack of information, as always, should be reason for caution, not reason for assuming
00:48:56.540
that everything we don't know must not matter, because if it did, we would know it.
00:49:02.000
But here's something else that we do know about Zelensky.
00:49:04.300
He is actively pushing to get us involved in a conflict which would certainly lead to thousands
00:49:09.540
of our sons and daughters dying and might lead to many more deaths than that, potentially
00:49:15.400
Zelensky wants us to incur those costs, wants us to sacrifice our children's lives, potentially,
00:49:21.180
for him and for his country and for his people.
00:49:23.180
There's no reason to think that he would do the same for us, but he wants us to do that
00:49:29.220
You can't blame him for wanting this kind of assistance.
00:49:32.280
You can't blame him for caring more about Ukraine and his people than he does about the United
00:49:38.660
Most people in this country obviously don't blame him for that, and neither do I.
00:49:42.600
And yet the same people in the U.S. who don't blame Zelensky for caring more about Ukraine
00:49:46.400
than the United States do blame Americans who care more about the United States than Ukraine.
00:49:55.160
According to these sad, self-loathing patsies, the only people in the whole world who should
00:50:00.220
not prioritize their own nation's safety over the safety of other nations are Americans.
00:50:10.080
This kind of confused thinking only becomes worse and more confused when you mix it with
00:50:17.260
Zelensky wants us to sacrifice an indefinite number of American lives for him.
00:50:23.280
If we insist on seeing Zelensky as a faultless martyr, as a saint, a sort of cinematic protagonist,
00:50:29.200
then we're not going to be able to evaluate those demands with the clear-headed, temperate
00:50:34.960
We're likely to march our way into bloodshed and suffering and death with our eyes not open
00:50:39.340
but closed, imagining some sort of fantasy scenario that's only vaguely related to the real world.
00:50:46.480
Every time I make this argument, I'm accused of lacking compassion for the suffering people
00:50:51.940
Just as one example, yesterday, a guy named Noam Blum, an allegedly conservative media figure,
00:50:59.700
If Matt Walsh were capable of spending a tenth of the emotional energy he does being pissy
00:51:04.480
at Zelensky on showing some legitimately passionate human empathy to the suffering going on, he
00:51:13.020
I guess for Blum and many others, I haven't spent nearly enough time tweeting hashtags about
00:51:21.300
I've ruthlessly refused to put a Ukrainian flag in my bio or buy a Ukrainian flag t-shirt.
00:51:34.060
If you see everyone doing and saying something, why do you need, if there's a couple people
00:51:43.400
I'm not sure what it achieves or how any of this virtue signaling helps the people of Ukraine.
00:51:51.520
Yeah, I mean, I could defuse that criticism by just tweeting out hashtag I stand with Ukraine.
00:52:04.660
Except me, I guess, in that I can display my virtue.
00:52:11.080
And at any rate, my focus is on making sure that America doesn't get sucked into a conflict
00:52:16.300
that could spread that misery and suffering to our shores.
00:52:20.180
And that's not selfishness on my part because it's not just myself that I'm worried about.
00:52:30.620
And we as Americans must have that attitude because if we don't prioritize our own people's
00:52:39.960
But I must also note that as Blum attacks me for not saying enough publicly about the
00:52:44.620
suffering people of Ukraine, he himself has, so far as I can tell, never said anything at
00:52:53.240
That's also a war-torn country where many innocent men, women, and children live amid violence
00:52:58.440
Literally untold misery because nobody talks about it.
00:53:01.940
Nobody talks about the vast majority of the victims of genocide and war and violence and
00:53:08.720
What's happening in Ukraine right now, I got to tell you, is not the first war we've seen
00:53:21.840
See, if you only express compassion and empathy for the suffering people in countries that get
00:53:26.920
American media attention, you might want to consider the possibility that your compassion
00:53:31.180
and empathy are completely fake and meaningless.
00:53:34.540
You feel intense compassion for whichever group of people the media is talking about, and then
00:53:39.160
you stop thinking about them the second the news cycle moves on to somebody else.
00:53:43.020
You get caught up in these waves, and then you have the audacity to get self-righteous
00:53:47.720
about it, blaming others for not virtue signaling as enthusiastically as you are.
00:53:51.720
It's absurd, but it's worse than absurd, because this wave we're in right now is threatening
00:54:00.740
And then we'll really see some death and suffering, much closer to home.
00:54:06.020
And that's why empty virtue signaling and Zelensky worship are both today, I must say, canceled.
