The Matt Walsh Show - Ep. 924 - They Hate When We Call Them Groomers, So Keep Doing It

00:00:00.000 Today on the Matt Wall Show, the people who've been calling us Nazis for decades are now concerned

00:00:04.080 that Groomer is a vicious, unfair label. After years of labeling everyone in sight,

00:00:08.220 they're finally getting a taste of their own medicine and they don't like it.

00:00:10.960 The only difference is that, unlike Nazi, the Groomer label is actually true. We'll talk about 0.67

00:00:14.140 that. Also, the pro-life group that blew the whistle about illegal abortions in D.C.

00:00:18.120 held a press conference yesterday. Some of the additional details they revealed are absolutely

00:00:21.560 bone-chilling, but you need to hear them. Plus, the only Joe Biden video that might actually make

00:00:26.680 you feel a little bit sorry for him, if fleetingly. We'll play that. And if you thought woke Oreos were

00:00:31.100 bad, wait until you see what the latest virtue signaling snack company has come up with. All

00:00:36.440 of that and more today on the Matt Wall Show. I first learned that I was a Nazi many years ago.

00:00:50.380 I don't remember what the opinion was exactly, but I expressed some kind of opinion about something,

00:00:54.200 and I was promptly informed that only Nazis think that way or say those sorts of things.

00:00:59.320 Of course, the confusing part was that my opinion had nothing at all to do with Nazism or anything

00:01:03.520 associated with Nazism. Nonetheless, I was a Nazi, and like so many others, I have relearned this lesson

00:01:09.400 every day since. These days, I'm called a Nazi dozens of times every hour of every day. I'm a Nazi for

00:01:16.780 criticizing Joe Biden. I'm a Nazi for opposing critical race theory. I'm a Nazi for believing that men 0.86

00:01:22.160 can't have babies. I'm a Nazi for not wanting preschool teachers to talk to four-year-olds about 0.93

00:01:27.000 their sexuality. I'm a Nazi for saying that fat people should consider dieting. I'm a Nazi for 0.98

00:01:31.760 preferring vanilla ice cream over chocolate, et cetera, and so forth, on and on forever.

00:01:36.080 And I'm not just a Nazi. Again, as so many of you have learned about yourselves, I'm also

00:01:39.920 every ist and phobe in the book. I'm a sexist, a transphobe, a homophobe, a fat phobe, a misogynist, 1.00

00:01:45.300 an ableist, a fascist, a white supremacist, and so on. Every week, I learned that I'm guilty of new 1.00

00:01:50.440 moral crimes that I didn't even know existed before. Last week, I was a misogynoir, which

00:01:56.200 apparently is a racist misogyny, a racist, racist misogyny against black women is misogynoir. And 1.00

00:02:02.480 I'm guilty of that too, it turns out. My supervillain resume continues to grow. I am indeed the worst

00:02:09.140 Nazi white supremacist, fat phobe, ableist, anti-gay, fascist, transphobic, misogynoirist, 1.00

00:02:14.420 misogynist, homophobe the world has ever seen. Along with all the other Nazi white supremacist, 1.00

00:02:18.880 fat phobe, ableist, anti-gay, fascist, transphobic, misogynist, homophobes. There are a lot of us out 1.00

00:02:24.320 there, half the country, if not more. At least that's what we have been told. That's how we've

00:02:28.780 been labeled. We've been labeled this way, relentlessly, nonstop, in response to literally

00:02:33.960 every view we hold, everything we say, every argument we make, and every opinion we express.

00:02:40.060 So you must forgive me if I am not very sympathetic to the leftists who are now complaining

00:02:46.060 about being labeled groomers. These are the very people who have hung every smear, slur,

00:02:53.280 and label under the sun around my neck and yours for decades. They've literally accused us of being

00:02:59.840 secret agents of the Third Reich. And now they insist that we should be more careful with the

00:03:04.940 labels that we use. Your accusations are unfair and hurtful, you damn Nazi Klansman, 1.00

00:03:10.340 they say, as they wipe tears away. So you'll excuse me if I struggle to take their emotions 1.00

00:03:16.460 seriously. And yet this is the response they're going with. Over the last several days, in response

00:03:22.620 especially to conservative criticism of Ketanji Jackson's lenience towards pedophiles and our

00:03:27.560 push for parental rights in Florida and elsewhere, the media have declared that grooming accusations are

00:03:33.440 unfair, despicable, shameful, the kinds of things that only Nazis say. The Washington Post has an article

00:03:41.220 headlined, the new red scare, the right leans into pedophilia accusations. And then Vice declares

00:03:47.700 conservatives are smearing don't say gay opponents as pedophile groomers. The weak wonders why are 0.99

00:03:54.820 Republicans so concerned about grooming? Because it's bad. I think probably I could just answer it that

00:04:00.320 way. New York Magazine has a long piece explaining, quote, why Republicans are smearing everyone as

00:04:06.300 pedophiles now. Josh Marshall at Talking Points memo goes farther. He says that the groomer

00:04:12.440 accusation is, quote, pre-genocide talk. So now we're genocidal. But we're the ones, again, who should be

00:04:19.480 careful with the labels, right? And there's, of course, round agreement that the grooming claims are really

00:04:25.400 thinly veiled homophobia. As the Daily Beast explains in their article, Republicans say grooming

00:04:30.320 to put a nice face on homophobia. That article, by the way, written by Daniel Summers says in part,

00:04:37.160 read a little bit of this to you. It says, by reaching for the language of sexual predation to

00:04:41.300 be wielded against LGBTQ plus people and our supporters and decrying this law, people calling

00:04:46.660 us groomers make plain that the hatred never really left. The same hideous lies that inform the taunts of

00:04:52.620 my childhood bullies are near at hand for use today. Of course, what we really want is nothing like the

00:04:58.360 vicious falsehood imputed to us. I don't want my own young children learning about sex, straight or

00:05:03.120 gay or otherwise, before it's developmentally appropriate any more than any other parent does. 0.77

00:05:07.680 What I do want is for them to be able to talk about their two dads in the same easy way their

00:05:12.680 peers with heterosexual parents talk about their families and for their teachers to be able to

00:05:17.160 participate in guiding those discussions if necessary. I want families like ours to show up in the books

00:05:22.760 available in the classrooms so both my kids and the other students can see that we exist alongside

00:05:28.140 them. I want kids who don't conform to other people's gender expectations to be safe and 0.99

00:05:33.500 supported in their classrooms just the way they are. Once again, they are the ones who assume that

00:05:41.520 any accusation of grooming must be a reference to LGBT people. We never said that. Perhaps this writer 0.99

00:05:47.380 has some guilt on his own conscience that makes him leap to that conclusion. I have no idea. What I do

00:05:52.420 know is that all the Florida bill does and all that any of us are calling for as it relates to this

00:05:57.440 topic is a prohibition of sexually inappropriate classroom instruction. That's it. We are not saying

00:06:03.460 that gay people are the only ones who give this kind of inappropriate instruction. We don't care who's 1.00

00:06:08.160 giving it. The who is not important. It's the what. And as for that what, the writer claims that he agrees

00:06:16.200 that children shouldn't learn about sex before it's developmentally appropriate. But then in the next

00:06:20.760 sentence, he says that he wants teachers to guide discussions about his children's two dads. Now,

00:06:28.200 there's nothing in the bill preventing his children from talking about their home life. But why do you

00:06:33.120 need the teachers to guide that discussion? And what does that mean? I don't recall any of my teachers

00:06:39.200 in any grade in any classroom guiding discussions about our personal lives. The phrasing here is quite

00:06:45.780 bizarre. And it leads inevitably to the conclusion that, in fact, he does want teachers giving sexually

00:06:50.660 inappropriate instruction to young children, even as he claims otherwise. But according to the left,

00:06:57.980 the groomer label is not only a vicious, hurtful smear. It's also, of course, a conspiracy theory.

00:07:05.440 Chris Hayes on MSNBC laid this out last night. Listen to this.

00:07:08.860 These Republican politicians and their allies and conservative media cannot just come out and say 0.94

00:07:13.760 there is an evil cabal of liberals running a child sex trafficking ring around the world dominated by 0.94

00:07:18.840 George Soros, the Rothschilds, and the Clintons, and they also worship Satan. They realize they sound 0.99

00:07:23.760 nuts. So instead, they find these not-so-clever ways to play footsie with the people that do believe

00:07:30.600 that, that make up at least a quarter of the base of their party. Like accusing Judge Jackson of being

00:07:36.660 sympathetic to child abusers, wink-wink. Or adopting the slogan, save the children, which of course sounds

00:07:44.140 perfectly noble, innocent enough on its face, but as Associate Press reports, has actually become

00:07:50.100 a dog whistle to QAnon supporters. Or, more recently, through vague allegations of grooming,

00:07:58.320 an age-old smear to imply that members of LGBTQ community are trying to prime children for sexual

00:08:03.560 abuse. That appears to be the case in Florida and the basis behind the state's so-called don't say

00:08:09.260 gay bill, which prohibits the discussion, the discussion in class of sexual orientation or

00:08:14.540 gender identity in classrooms for young children. Just to clarify one thing, first of all, we are not

00:08:21.820 saying that liberals and Democrats worship Satan. They are Satanists, yes, but they worship themselves,

00:08:28.920 and Satanism is the worship of the self. So, but yeah, I mean, absolutely satanic. They are. And so

00:08:34.020 are you, Chris Hayes. That's all a dog whistle to QAnon, he says. Never mind that at this point,

00:08:39.780 QAnon is comprised of about four people posting memes back and forth on a message board somewhere.

00:08:44.900 The irony is that Hayes demonstrates the leftist propensity for smearing and labeling their opponents,

00:08:49.620 even while decrying the alleged smearing and labeling of his own side. He says that anybody who wants to

00:08:54.800 save the children or who opposes inappropriate sexual discussion in kindergarten is a proponent

00:08:59.720 of the QAnon conspiracy theory. And they're also Nazis, of course. Meanwhile, even some alleged 0.91

00:09:06.080 conservatives have locked arms with leftists like Chris Hayes in an attempt to shield them from the

00:09:10.860 groomer tag. David French, of course, usual suspect, posted an article titled Against the Groomer Smear.

00:09:19.440 Now, I didn't read it because it's behind a paywall that I'm definitely not paying for, but

00:09:23.200 we can assume that French's argument boils down to this tweet that he sent out earlier the same

00:09:28.320 day. He says, redefining grooming and slinging false accusations of sympathy for pedophilia

00:09:33.120 is pure malice. Blue checks doing it on this website know better, but lots of ordinary folks don't.

00:09:41.040 They hear the words and apply their ordinary meaning. That's incredibly dangerous. This is malice. It's

00:09:47.380 dangerous. Inappropriate. That's David French's whole career at this point is wagging his finger

00:09:54.760 and saying, inappropriate. Now, you have to love this from David French. I mean, it's the perfect

00:10:00.600 mix of wimpish kowtowing, hypocritical dishonesty, and pompous paternalism. Ordinary folks are too stupid 1.00

00:10:07.880 to understand what is meant by groomer, he says. He's standing up for those ordinary folks who are just 1.00

00:10:14.260 morons. And his sentiments are echoed by others at alleged conservative publications like the 1.00

00:10:19.880 Dispatch and Bulwark. You can't be surprised to see these folks taking this position. I mean,

00:10:24.020 they represent a brand of conservatism that has achieved nothing of significance. I mean,

00:10:28.240 it has presided over the left's total domination of the culture. It has watched haplessly and

00:10:34.480 helplessly as left-wing radicals took over every major cultural institution to include and especially

00:10:40.480 the educational institutions. It has, at best, slowed our civilizational descent into the abyss,

00:10:46.940 but probably not even managed that much. And now that it sees a brand of conservatism that is actually

00:10:52.680 landing some blows here, you know, winning back some of the ground that was lost ever so slowly,

00:10:58.280 ever so, you know, inch by inch, now that it sees this brand of conservatism achieving what it could

00:11:06.060 never achieve. The proponents of this ineffectual, effeminate brand of conservatism, perhaps out of

00:11:12.120 envy or simply weakness or some combination, they run to the left, becoming outright defenders of what

00:11:18.520 they had previously spent decades pretending to oppose. They hate the groomer label, especially because

00:11:25.520 it works. And these faux conservatives hate nothing so much as what actually works.

00:11:31.900 And that's what we have to understand about groomer, the label. First of all, even if the label was

00:11:40.040 unfair, the people complaining about its unfairness have no room to complain. Their tears mean nothing.

00:11:46.860 They have smeared and lied and slandered and defamed with abandon for years on end.

00:11:53.020 They're now getting a dose of their own medicine. And if that's the case and they don't like it,

00:11:58.100 they have only themselves to blame. But as it happens, the label is not unfair. It is simply

00:12:05.000 an undeniable fact that leftist radicals in education and in media and in Hollywood and in

00:12:10.780 government are now and have been for years indoctrinating and grooming kids into a certain

00:12:15.020 sexual view and lifestyle. That is precisely how LGBT and trans identifications have increased

00:12:22.120 exponentially in just a short period of time. That is why there's now an epidemic of kids confused

00:12:27.480 about their genders. That's why the identity crisis has gotten so bad that they're putting 0.78

00:12:30.880 litter boxes in public school bathrooms for kids who identify as felines. This is all the result of 1.00

00:12:37.240 grooming. It's what they're doing. It's what they've done. And they hate it when we point it out,

00:12:45.200 which is why we must continue to do so. Now let's get to our five headlines.

00:12:50.100 Okay, we'll start back with this. I want to call it a disturbing story, but disturbing doesn't even

00:13:04.420 begin to cover it. But it is a story that should be covered and is not being covered by especially

00:13:10.400 the mainstream outlets. So this is from the Daily Wire. The latest U.S. lawmakers are calling on

00:13:14.820 Washington, D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser and Department of Justice to investigate the abortions of five babies

00:13:19.340 whose bodies were allegedly recovered by pro-life activists from an abortion clinic. In a letter

00:13:23.520 exclusively obtained by the Daily Wire, Republican lawmakers remind Bowers, or rather Bowser and

00:13:28.360 Attorney General Merrick Garland, that the babies deserve to have their deaths investigated to ensure

00:13:33.040 that no D.C. or federal laws were broken. The bodies were allegedly recovered by members of the

00:13:37.600 progressive anti-abortion uprising group who said they intercepted a box with dismembered babies before

00:13:42.880 it was sent to a medical waste center. And now several elected Republicans are, including Marsha Blackburn,

00:13:53.340 Mike Lee, Josh Hawley, and others, are demanding that the Department of Justice investigate this. And also D.C. on the

00:14:05.880 local level. Because if this was partial birth abortion, and we're going to play some clips here in a minute,

00:14:11.000 which indicate that at least in some cases it was, then that is a federal crime.

00:14:19.020 And by the way, maybe you see how the dots are connected here, because one thing you hear about

00:14:24.880 partial birth abortion, which as I explained, I think, yesterday, that is the, just as the name implies,

00:14:31.460 that is aborting, killing a child as it is being born, when it is partially born. When the child is

00:14:38.700 partially born, he is killed. With, you know, as long as part of his body is still inside the birth

00:14:44.780 canal, then he's killed. And for so long we were, we've been told that, well, that never, that never

00:14:49.480 happens. You know, no such thing as happening. That's, this is, this is ridiculous. Another conspiracy

00:14:55.340 theory. Well, yeah, it, it doesn't officially happen if you refuse to prosecute it. If you ignore it,

00:15:04.180 then it quote, never happens. And so we are seeing this in real time.

00:15:11.680 This almost certainly, at least some of these babies were the, they were all the victim of

00:15:15.680 murder. Let's be clear about that. But almost some of, some of them were almost certainly the victim

00:15:20.140 of partial birth abortion, if not post birth abortion, infanticide. But they're refusing,

00:15:25.500 the police are refusing to investigate it. And so it's not going to count in the record books.

00:15:30.760 Yet another example of a partial birth abortion that did occur almost certainly, but doesn't count.

00:15:38.660 And so they can say, well, it never happens. And given the extraordinary lengths that this pro-life

00:15:47.780 group had to go through in order just to reveal that this happened, I mean, they had to obtain the

00:15:56.340 bodies themselves, put themselves in legal jeopardy in order to do it, and then post pictures of those

00:16:05.220 bodies. And even after doing all of that, still the police refused to investigate. My question is,

00:16:11.560 how many children have fallen victim to this crime, but we don't even hear about it because there isn't

00:16:17.960 any pro-life group that was, was able to go to those lengths or willing to do it.

00:16:24.940 So yesterday, the progressive anti-abortion uprising group held a press conference and

00:16:29.280 we're going to go through some of the clips from this press conference. We'll start

00:16:33.400 kind of in a sequential order here. First, here they are describing the scene when they

00:16:40.240 obtained this box of dead bodies. And just listen to this.

00:16:47.220 In the presence of a Catholic deacon, Lauren cut open the box and the red plastic bag inside.

00:16:53.620 We then proceeded to unpack the remains of 110 mostly first trimester aborted children.

00:17:01.220 At the bottom of the box was a clear plastic bag with five more containers,

00:17:05.320 one much bigger than the remaining four. Lauren reached into the largest bucket and removed the

00:17:12.300 remains of a beautiful, intact, and nearly full-term baby boy whom we named Christopher X.

00:17:21.420 I think I can speak for both Lauren and I when I say this was the most devastating and soul-crushing

00:17:26.980 experience of our lives. Not even years of anti-abortion advocacy could have prepared us for that

00:17:33.820 moment. And it's a moment that will live on for us for all of time.

00:17:40.300 We continued to open the larger containers and discovered four more babies with a range

00:17:45.160 of injuries, including a fully intact girl we named Harriet, who had one eye open, an incision

00:17:52.080 in the back of her neck, her brain suctioned out, and her skull crushed. Two other late-term babies

00:18:00.080 named Angel and Holly were severely dismembered, and the final baby Phoenix was whole and still inside

00:18:08.980 the amniotic sack. 0.88

00:18:10.260 You know, we hear so much about people suffering trauma because of mean tweets or whatever. We heard 0.76

00:18:19.040 about the journalist, the female journalist, Taylor Lorenz, get some mean tweets, people criticizing 0.67

00:18:24.100 the shoddy work that she does, and she's traumatized for that she can barely sleep at night.

00:18:28.200 Um, well, no, this is, this is what actual trauma is. I mean, this is, this is traumatic. If you can

00:18:34.080 imagine, I don't even want to imagine, uh, these women who are heroes, by the way, this is also what 1.00

00:18:39.780 her heroism looks like, going through this box of dead children. I mean, literally a box of dead

00:18:45.940 children. And one of those children had her brain sucked out of her skull because this is something

00:18:50.100 that we're doing in America. Um, cutting holes in baby skulls and sucking the brains out is a thing 1.00

00:18:55.060 that's happening in the United States of America right now, currently. And you, uh, you may not 0.91

00:19:02.060 have noticed because all the most powerful institutions in our culture don't want you to

00:19:06.720 notice. And they go through considered effort to make sure that you don't find out about it.

00:19:14.760 Again, this is, this is what had to have, this is what these people had to do just so that some of

00:19:19.480 us hear about this. And even this is not enough apparently to ensure that any justice

00:19:24.920 is actually done, but most people aren't hearing about it. And, and, uh, and most people in America

00:19:31.640 right now, and for the last few weeks have been more, more focused on and concerned about atrocities

00:19:36.260 in Ukraine. And I'm sorry, I just can't take people seriously when they are crying about atrocities in

00:19:45.020 Ukraine, as sad as it is that terrible things are happening in Ukraine and elsewhere in the world.

00:19:49.960 It is a terrible thing and it is quite sad, but in this course, it's not the case for everybody

00:19:57.340 who's concerned about Ukraine. It is possible to be concerned about both, but I have noticed that

00:20:03.360 quite a, quite, quite a lot of people really concerned about Ukraine and the fact that babies 0.82

00:20:08.280 in this country in a major American city, in fact, in a city, uh, where the white house is at a clinic,

00:20:14.800 like a few miles down from the white house, babies are having their brains sucked out of their skulls.

00:20:19.680 I've just noticed that a lot of the people concerned about these Ukrainian tragedies

00:20:22.660 and atrocities have just have absolutely nothing to say about this.

00:20:28.760 And yes, we should be more concerned about this than we are about Ukraine. Why? Because these are

00:20:35.100 our children. And by that, I mean, American children in our country. And also there is literally

00:20:42.900 nothing worse in the world than butchering and dismembering and crushing the skull of an infant 0.86

00:20:51.300 child. There is no atrocity. There is no war crime that could possibly be worse than that. It is the 0.79

00:20:57.820 worst of the worst. It doesn't get worse than that. It can get really, really bad, but that's as bad as

00:21:03.380 it gets. And it's happening right here. Now, later on in the press conference, they explain why they think

00:21:10.880 that this, um, that this is evidence, not just of abortion, which is a moral crime in its own right,

00:21:19.340 but why they think this is evidence of illegal abortions. Let's listen.

00:21:23.540 Live action captured undercover footage of abortionist Cesare Santangelo, the sole abortionist

00:21:30.220 on staff for decades at Washington surgery, admitting that he does not use feticide.

00:21:36.620 Because of this admission and the advanced gestational ages of these babies and their intact

00:21:43.280 condition, the likelihood that some were born alive is undeniable. Additionally, the injuries

00:21:50.500 sustained by Harriet strongly imply she was the victim of a partial birth abortion.

00:21:56.120 So you have, according to medical experts and according to just any, any rational person who can

00:22:05.160 see the evidence with their own eyes, there is very good reason to suspect that a federal crime was

00:22:10.520 committed against these children. And the police, again, we cannot emphasize enough, refuse to invest.

00:22:16.980 They won't even take the time or go through the trouble of doing an autopsy to figure out how exactly

00:22:22.220 these children died. They looked, they looked at a box full of dead babies and just said right away,

00:22:29.880 oh yeah, nothing, nothing bad happened there. And dead children that they, that were given to them,

00:22:36.380 not by an abortion clinic, but by a woman from, had the bodies in her townhouse.

00:22:44.120 Isn't that reason enough to investigate further? Are you not wondering a little bit about that?

00:22:55.720 Continuing along, they talk about their attempts to alert authorities and how difficult that was.

00:23:01.060 And also that the, the, um, striking lack of urgency on the part of the authorities. Let's listen.

00:23:06.980 On March 29th, Lauren and I coordinated with attorneys to alert the DC homicide unit of the

00:23:13.040 location of the five larger babies and request an investigation into their deaths. Arrangements

00:23:20.080 were made for the babies to be picked up that evening, but police didn't arrive until the afternoon

00:23:25.440 of the 30th, just hours after Lauren was taken into custody by the FBI in connection with a rescue

00:23:32.400 two years prior. Today, I stand in solidarity with Lauren and the eight other defendants who are

00:23:39.700 facing harsh incarceration, incarceration penalties under the FACE Act for simply protecting the victims

00:23:47.140 of violent oppression at Sant'Angelo's clinic. And while these heroes are being unjustly prosecuted,

00:23:54.800 Sant'Angelo continues to kill babies and exploit their parents for profit as he has done for decades.

00:24:02.400 This must end. We are demanding that the DC police conduct a full investigation into the deaths

00:24:10.660 of these babies, including thorough autopsies. We demand that the US Department of Justice

00:24:17.220 prosecute Sant'Angelo for violations of the Born Alive Infant Protection Act and the Partial Birth

00:24:24.020 Abortion Act. And we're demanding it now. Oh, no urgency, right? No reason to rush. I mean,

00:24:32.120 the police were told about dead bodies that this woman, Lauren Handy, had obtained. And they don't

00:24:42.020 even show up the same day. They take their time. And they want to make sure that she's arrested first

00:24:48.420 before they even show up to investigate. Now, this, of course, is not actually laziness and

00:24:55.240 incompetence. I mean, I'm sure that's part of the story. That's always part of the recipe.

00:25:00.520 But that's not the primary motivator here, is that they know, because they are government officials

00:25:08.240 in DC, they know what their role is. And it is to run cover for the abortion clinic. 0.76

00:25:13.200 And so this is, again, a cover-up happening in plain sight. They're barely even trying to hide

00:25:20.400 the fact that they're covering it up. Okay, one more clip I want to play for you. And this is just

00:25:24.780 because I think she deserves to be heard. Lauren Handy is the woman who is right now, first of all,

00:25:32.100 facing federal charges. And the woman who brought this to everyone's attention. And she got up to the

00:25:37.560 microphone and talked a little bit about her experiences. Listen. Phoenix, Harriet, Christopher

00:25:43.540 X, Angel, and Holly, the children who have been featured in the news so far, were so advanced in

00:25:50.140 their gestational age, and the patterns of their wounds suggest violent federal crimes. We arranged

00:25:56.460 for the medical examiner to pick up the children. Washington Surgery is part of a network of 21 abortion 0.76

00:26:03.840 centers in the DMV area. The abortion industry, which is the overlapping interests of state and

00:26:10.820 business, use fear, isolation, and violence to make profit off of people who are pregnant,

00:26:18.580 families, and in particular, low-income women facing crisis and unwanted pregnancies. Uplifting and

00:26:26.520 showing the five children does not pit us against their parents. I am deeply heartbroken for these

00:26:33.480 families. Their exploitation from Washington surging, and then their children being used for profit by

00:26:41.580 Curtis Bay shows how deeply flawed our communities are structured.

00:26:48.680 Well, we're not gonna have time to do the whole five headlines, but I wanted to make sure that we

00:26:53.960 spent time on this issue. And it's... I guess I don't know how else to say it other than they're

00:27:04.320 sucking the brains out of babies in Washington, D.C. right now. It's a thing that's happening. 0.93

00:27:09.700 And they're also covering up the crime. Now, the next headline, I think, kind of relates and it ties

00:27:13.800 everything together because we've talked about cowardly conservatives, ineffectual conservatives

00:27:17.140 don't do anything. And we've also talked about the atrocities of abortion. So let's bring all that

00:27:20.540 together. And then we have this from the Hill. Senator Mitt Romney, who hails from one of the

00:27:24.880 most conservative states in the country, announced Monday that he will vote for Judge Ketanji Brown

00:27:29.400 Jackson to serve as the first black woman on the Supreme Court and praised her as a person of honor.

00:27:34.760 Romney, who, of course, voted twice to convict former President Trump on impeachment charges,

00:27:40.140 said, after reviewing Judge Jackson's record and testimony, I have concluded that she is a well-qualified

00:27:45.780 jurist and a person of honor. While I do not expect to agree with every decision she may make on the

00:27:51.040 court, I believe that she more than meets the standard of excellence and integrity, according

00:27:56.960 to his statement. Her dedication to public service and her family are obvious. And also, I enjoyed our

00:28:04.020 meeting, he says. Well, he enjoyed the meeting and he liked talking to her. So why not vote for her?

00:28:07.740 Is she a person of honor and integrity? Well, we know that she's not. And I don't even need the fact

00:28:14.200 that she does have an obvious record of being lenient on child predators and pedophiles.

00:28:23.280 That is another fact that is undeniable. Child rapists, child pornographers got oftentimes the

00:28:32.320 most lenient possible penalty under the law from Judge Jackson. That's, we don't even need to go

00:28:40.740 there to establish the fact that she's not a person of honor because she's pro-abortion and she's in 0.87

00:28:45.700 favor of protecting the, quote, right to murder babies. And it is impossible to be a person of

00:28:51.380 honor. I don't care what else you've done in your life. I don't care what other facts there are about

00:28:55.020 you. I don't care if you're a loving wife and it doesn't, doesn't matter. You cannot be an honorable 1.00

00:29:01.780 person while not only supporting the murder of babies, but actually working to ensure that those,

00:29:08.560 that the right to murder is protected. It's just, there are things in life that you can do

00:29:14.820 where you totally forfeit all of your honor and dignity. And that's one of those.

00:29:21.440 That's also another reason why if you call yourself a pro-life conservative, you cannot

00:29:27.400 possibly vote for Ketanji Brown-Jackson. Again, leaving aside even all the child porn leniency. 0.98

00:29:39.360 That, that, yeah, that's, that would also be a reason not to vote for her, but you don't, 0.96

00:29:41.940 we don't even need to get there because we know that she supports murdering babies and wants to 1.00

00:29:45.060 protect that right. And yet Mitt Romney, while calling himself a pro-lifer, 0.82

00:29:49.860 is going to vote for her. Okay. Here's some more DC politics on a little bit of a lighter note,

00:29:55.720 although this is also probably one of the cringiest videos you'll see. Obama was at the

00:30:02.540 White House yesterday for an event having to do with the 12th anniversary of Obamacare being rammed

00:30:07.640 down the throats of the American people. And he doesn't, he doesn't associate with Joe Biden very

00:30:13.180 much. He's, it's, it's conspicuous how little he has said in defense of Biden and how few times

00:30:20.940 we've seen him. I think this is actually the first time since Joe Biden was president that we've seen

00:30:24.500 the two of them together, maybe aside from the inauguration, but he was there mostly because it

00:30:29.280 was about him and it was about celebrating his own supposed accomplishments. But after they did their

00:30:33.520 speech or whatever it was, there was a period of mingling. And, and then this happened and everyone's

00:30:38.520 talking about this. Let's play the video. We see Joe Biden, they're all standing around and mingling

00:30:46.680 and everyone just flocks to Obama, ignoring the president of the United States. And now he's

00:30:51.740 standing there looking around on the outside of the, of the talking circle. And this video is even

00:30:57.780 worse because Joe Biden, he doesn't want to be on the outside. He's actually grabbing Obama,

00:31:03.180 trying to get his attention. You know, Obama just completely ignores him. I actually, I gotta say,

00:31:09.340 I, I, uh, if there was ever anything that could make me feel sorry for Joe Biden slightly, maybe,

00:31:14.720 maybe just temporarily, it would be this. Oh, that's rough. That is rough. And I was, I feel

00:31:21.380 for Biden a little bit. I understand what's happening. I mean, this is what happens to me at

00:31:25.560 events. If I do any event with, with, with Ben Shapiro, this is like, this is like backstage live at the

00:31:30.240 Ryman, the VIP meet and greet, you know, I'm Joe Biden in that scenario. Everyone's flocking.

00:31:34.320 So I understand. Actually, it's something kind of universal that I think we've all been, if you've

00:31:39.380 been in a social situation at a party or something, Biden made a strategic mistake and you've probably

00:31:43.880 been through this before. You're at a social function. And, um, this is my move anyway, when

00:31:49.100 you're at the social function, if I, if I ever, if I get cornered into having to be at a social,

00:31:53.580 I try to avoid them as much as I can. But if I have to be at one month, mainly because my wife

00:31:57.960 for the daily wire forces me into it, um, what you want to do is you want to find your,

00:32:02.780 your circle. Like you've got to find a talking circle and just stick with your circle,

00:32:07.720 ingratiate yourself into a circle of people talking and just stay there.

00:32:12.140 Biden made the mistake of walking away from his circle and then he couldn't get back in.

00:32:15.780 He was the odd man out, just wandering around. That can happen. Or you could get edged out of the

00:32:20.340 circle by a new person who comes in. The worst thing that can happen though, is that you have your

00:32:25.280 circle and there's like five people, including you in the circle. And then three of them walk

00:32:30.840 away, leaving you with just one other person. And it's the one person you have the least to say

00:32:34.760 to, you have nothing in common with them. And now it's like, do we have to have a one-on-one

00:32:38.700 conversation or do we both awkwardly walk away from this? So I get it. I'm going to defend Biden

00:32:44.380 just on that. At least this is my one defense of Joe Biden is that, all right, I want to play this

00:32:51.540 for you. Is this perhaps the dumbest and cringiest woke corporate virtue signal of all time? And I 0.98

00:32:57.860 know that's saying something. We had Oreos yesterday, Oreos putting an ad out about an Asian kid

00:33:06.420 coming out as gay to his grandmother. Nothing to do with Oreos whatsoever. No attempt to even circle 0.87

00:33:11.840 it back to Oreos. Well, now another snack food has gotten in on the action. This is from the Daily

00:33:18.880 Wire. It says the makers of Cracker Jack, of course, the caramel popcorn snack popular at

00:33:23.620 baseball stadiums and prominently featured in the classic baseball anthem, Take Me Out to the Ball

00:33:27.460 Game, is receiving a woke repackaging, including a rewriting of the song with a gender equality

00:33:33.340 message. So they have rebranded themselves as not Cracker Jack, but Cracker Jill. And they wrote on

00:33:41.160 their website, sometimes all it takes to believe you can do something is to see someone who looks like

00:33:45.580 you do it first. It's in this spirit that Cracker Jack proudly introduces Cracker Jill, a team of new

00:33:52.720 faces showing girls that they're represented even in our most iconic snacks. I understand the need for

00:33:59.600 this. Okay. I can't, I can't, I'll never forget the first time I was in the snack aisle with my

00:34:06.400 daughter and she saw the Cracker Jack box and she just broke down in tears. She saw Cracker Jack and she

00:34:13.160 said to me, daddy, does this mean that, that I can't pursue my own dreams? And I said to her, yeah,

00:34:20.300 it does. That's exactly what it means. But now that they've rebranded to Cracker Jill, I can go home

00:34:25.100 and I can tell the news to my daughter that you see they rebranded to Cracker Jill so you can do

00:34:30.500 anything that you want in your life. Don't all women look to snack companies for their inspiration and 1.00

00:34:37.920 motivation in life. Well, this is about to get really inspiring because as mentioned, they rebranded

00:34:43.980 the song to take me out to the ball game to give a little bit of a feminist bent and let's listen to 1.00

00:34:50.240 that. Take me out to the ball game. Take me out to the crowd. Buy me some peanuts and Cracker Jill.

00:35:05.300 No one can stop you if you have the will. So less rude, rude, rude for a girl's dream. We're adding our face 0.86

00:35:15.640 to the game and we'll run through with never doubt. It's a new ball game. Play ball.

00:35:31.920 That's a tough one. That's a tough one. That's even, that's even harder to get through than the

00:35:43.180 Joe Biden video. CrackerJill.com. You can go. Now this is, if they expect that people are going to

00:35:50.640 start actually singing that at baseball games, there is less chance of that than there is that

00:35:55.320 Hispanic people will actually start calling themselves Latinx. There's even less chance that

00:35:58.940 that's going to happen. And I, I, I don't need to say it. I know, but I, but I have to,

00:36:06.340 because this is all about defending women's sports, they say, or it's about encouraging women. Well,

00:36:11.460 what is that exactly? And it's, it's kind of interest, interesting timing that now they've

00:36:18.080 decided to come out, uh, about women's sports when there is only one threat against women's sports 0.96

00:36:25.100 and it's from the trans agenda. There are no other threats, but we can assume that CrackerJill is,

00:36:32.540 uh, they're not trying to make any statement about that. We can assume that. Let's get to the comment

00:36:36.580 section. Who makes a Twitter mob fly off the handle with rage? Who's to blame? It's a sweet baby gang. 0.94

00:36:48.180 All right. Uh, LOL. Has Matt ever given relationship advice that didn't end with

00:36:55.520 just breakup? That is usually my advice because it's pretty simple advice, but, but also in that

00:37:03.360 it's, it's important to clarify, that's only advice I give to people who are not married. I mean,

00:37:07.540 if you're married, then that's not going to be my advice, but I think it boils down to this. And this

00:37:12.740 is an important thing to know if you're, if you're dating, you, you shouldn't be having major

00:37:18.120 problems. Maybe not everyone agrees with this might be controversial, but I would say you should

00:37:23.740 not be having major relationship problems in the dating phase. You just started dating. Um,

00:37:32.060 many times you, you're just getting to know each other. You still have all of the, you know,

00:37:38.140 you're, you're, you should still be in that kind of honeymoon phase, even though you're not even

00:37:41.460 married yet, but, uh, you're actually in sort of the infatuation stage, which is supposed to buy.

00:37:47.220 There's a, there's a biological reason for that. It's supposed to propel you to the altar and you're

00:37:52.760 still in that phase. And in that phase, when everything is fresh and new, if you're already

00:37:56.920 having serious problems with each other, then, um, then it's just, it's, it's, it's not worth it.

00:38:01.960 You've got that. Those are the red flags. And the great thing is you're just dating. So you can

00:38:07.400 both just walk away from it. You don't even have, you don't need to have a big conversation about it.

00:38:11.460 The other person might want you to, but you don't need to. There's no obligation for that.

00:38:15.400 You could send a text message and just say, we're done. You have zero responsibility to them. Zero.

00:38:24.280 Um, that's my inspirational message for you. West says, we didn't put ourselves in this situation,

00:38:30.260 Matt. We were put in it. I assume you mean culturally. Um, uh, I know we like to tell ourselves that,

00:38:40.120 but the fact is that look, we're all, we're all a part of the culture. We're all a part of this

00:38:46.600 country. And so, yeah, we can blame the institutions, the powerful institutions who

00:38:52.300 brought us to this point and they deserve a lot of the blame. But my question is where were

00:38:59.260 conservatives for years and years when the education institution was being invaded and taken

00:39:05.040 over by, by radicals? Where were they on this? I know in the last couple of years,

00:39:10.740 we're very clued into this problem and actually doing something about it. Uh, but you know,

00:39:15.660 why not 20 years ago? So now we might want to console ourselves by saying that this was all

00:39:21.380 foisted upon us and we're victims of it. But the fact is we, at least when I say we,

00:39:26.820 I mean, generally we're cooperators in our silence. Um, Chris says you're better at commercials than

00:39:34.780 Ben. His style of segueing into it is always hilarious. There's no way Ben is that bad at

00:39:39.340 commercials that I'm better than a kid. It's not possible. I don't believe it. Um,

00:39:45.040 let's see your, your moth boyfriend, whatever that means says kids will ask about literally 0.83

00:39:51.380 anything to get out of school. It's up to the adult to regulate these questions and deflect them

00:39:55.940 so that the kids focus on their lessons instead. That's a very good point. And it reminded me

00:40:00.500 because I said that I've, I've said multiple times when I was in school, we never talked about

00:40:04.740 the teacher's private life and that's true, but we did talk about all kinds of irrelevant things.

00:40:11.020 If we could bait the teacher into getting into those conversations, anything we needed to do

00:40:17.660 to make sure that no actual lesson or instruction occurred that day. And very often the teachers were

00:40:24.300 far too willing to go along with our efforts to distract and derail everything just so that we

00:40:30.340 didn't have to do any actual work. And that's also when you see these kids who are doing walkouts over

00:40:36.020 the don't say gay bill or whatever it is. Um, yeah, there's a lot of that is because they've been 0.99

00:40:40.740 indoctrinated and brainwashed, but also it's because they get to walk out rather than go to class.

00:40:46.100 So that's something we have to keep in mind as well. Well, did you notice anything different

00:40:51.360 about my show today? Now I'm not talking about the obvious change to the set behind me that you

00:40:55.460 were all complaining about yesterday, uh, which I understand justifiable. I'm talking about the lack

00:41:01.620 of ads in today's episode. Well, I know my YouTube and audio podcast listeners love my flawless ad

00:42:13.200 So it was announced this week that Joe Biden will extend the pause on student debt payments for

00:42:18.180 another several months. Now, if this sounds like a repeat of a story you've heard before,

00:42:22.240 that's because it is. The pause was put into effect two years ago as a pandemic relief strategy.

00:42:27.120 It was then extended and extended again and again and again, and then again, and I think again.

00:42:32.200 Biden has for now found an end run around the student loan forgiveness issue.

00:42:38.340 He had pledged during the campaign to cancel at least a portion of student debt. Now he of course

00:42:43.840 doesn't want to actually make good on that promise because it would be wildly justifiably unpopular

00:42:48.200 with a huge portion of the American public. After all, as I've tried to explain many times,

00:42:53.020 you cannot actually cancel student debt any more than you could cancel my mortgage. What you can do is

00:42:58.940 transfer the burden somewhere else. In this case, the burden will be transferred from the people 0.51

00:43:04.300 who purchased the product to the people who did not. The college graduate who purchased the education

00:43:10.500 and ostensibly supposedly benefits from it will be relieved of the responsibility to pay for it while

00:43:16.220 people who did not purchase the education and will not benefit from it will be saddled with the

00:43:19.860 duty to fulfill the obligations of a contract that they never signed. This sort of plan may be popular

00:43:27.500 with the people who make out like literal bandits, but most of the rest of the country feels

00:43:32.520 differently. Especially when you consider that so many people made enormous financial sacrifices in

00:43:37.780 order to pay off their loans only to now discover what? That they were suckers? They were patsies? 0.96

00:43:43.420 They could have just refused to pay and benefited from the government's magic wand

00:43:47.220 abracadabra act making it all disappear? Will they get a refund? Probably not.

00:43:53.000 What this all means is that the Biden administration would prefer to pretend that they never broached

00:43:57.780 this subject. They never made this promise. Extending the pause indefinitely is their way out,

00:44:02.620 they think. The problem is that the radicals in his party have noticed this maneuver and are not happy

00:44:08.400 about it. In recent weeks, the squad and also the squad's grandmother, Elizabeth Warren,

00:44:13.240 have ratcheted up the pressure for a full loan forgiveness. Yesterday, Bernie Sanders tweeted simply,

00:44:18.680 cancel student debt, all of it. Now, I've explained why canceling student debt is not so much a bad idea

00:44:26.680 as an impossible idea. It's a non-idea. The real idea, transferring the debt to a third party,

00:44:32.420 is the bad idea. But rather than harping on that some more, I'd like to focus on the question of how

00:44:37.200 we ended up in this situation to begin with. There are many guilty parties, many bad guys in the story

00:44:43.460 of the student debt bubble. The universities that charge exorbitant tuition rates for an increasingly

00:44:48.560 worthless education should be the first in line to absorb the blame, I think. But it's a long line.

00:44:53.260 The government, public school systems are in this line, as are, frankly, the parents who often demand

00:44:58.320 that their kids go to college, pressure which is borne, I think, as much from their own vanity as it is

00:45:03.900 from their concern for their child's future. So we can thank all these people for $1.5 trillion in

00:45:09.260 student debt. But there's another group that seems to have mostly escaped the blame,

00:45:16.340 escaped the public's wrath, despite their unique role in driving this totally and absurdly unnecessary

00:45:21.900 crisis. We take it for granted today that our kids need to obtain a college degree because so many jobs

00:45:28.620 require them. But that need is, in the vast majority of cases, artificial. Thousands of employers across the

00:45:35.560 country have chosen to arbitrarily inflate their job requirements, often demanding that applicants

00:45:41.080 have degrees for positions that don't actually necessitate them. And it's only getting worse.

00:45:46.640 Positions that didn't require any degree 20 years ago now require a bachelor's. And positions that

00:45:50.880 require just a bachelor's 20 years ago now require a master's. Soon you'll need a master's to flip

00:45:56.440 hamburgers. You know, if you want to become a landscaper, you'll need a PhD in ecology or something. 1.00

00:46:01.960 Obviously, some jobs really do require additional formal school. Nobody's suggesting that a guy with

00:46:10.400 a high school diploma should be hired off the street to perform brain surgery or design bridges or defend

00:46:16.260 the accused in criminal court. But most jobs outside of science and medicine and law have to be learned

00:46:22.780 by doing. It's not as though companies save money on training, you know, by limiting themselves to

00:46:29.340 college graduates. They still have to train the college graduates, which is no surprise because

00:46:34.200 most college graduates have little to no work experience. They've never done anything.

00:46:39.720 Now, it might be argued that employers look for the degree because even if it's in dance theory or

00:46:44.340 comparative religion, or if it's in my field of women's studies, they'll say that it at least proves

00:46:49.760 that the applicant is competent and hardworking. But it proves no such thing. I mean, have you seen a

00:46:55.660 college student recently? I see no reason to conclude that college grads are any smarter,

00:47:01.560 any more competent, any harder working than non-college grads. Look at footage from spring break. 1.00

00:47:10.060 So these people are the ones that you're saying are so much more competent and harder working than

00:47:14.700 everybody else. And by the way, speaking of spring break, a lot of those kids, they're using their

00:47:17.980 student loans to go on spring break. And then they're going to get out of school and whine and say that

00:47:23.480 we need to pay for those loans, which they squandered. Sorry, no. No, in fact, I would

00:47:30.140 wager that the scales kind of tip the other way. A 23-year-old who's been working and supporting

00:47:35.420 himself since 18 has already demonstrated at a minimum that he has the basic skills necessary

00:47:41.660 to be a functioning adult in society. He's probably also demonstrated that he's coachable, he's trainable,

00:47:47.580 because he's been trained in jobs before. But a 23-year-old who's been sitting in classrooms all that time,

00:47:53.320 has not demonstrated that or anything else. All the college degree proves in and of itself

00:47:57.620 is that either he had the money to pay for a degree or he was willing to take on the debt.

00:48:03.340 Why should that fact alone mean that his resume goes to the top of the stack?

00:48:07.780 We all know the truth. Employers demand high-priced degrees for entry-level positions that a moderately

00:48:13.480 intelligent monkey could learn in less than a week simply out of laziness. The degree requirement is

00:48:19.280 a way to cull the herd of applicants, making it easier and quicker to sift through all of it.

00:48:24.360 If qualified applicants are tossed aside, that's a sacrifice the employer is willing to make for the

00:48:28.560 sake of streamlining the process. But if it wasn't for the arbitrary demands of these lazy HR departments,

00:48:34.800 kids out of high school may not feel the need to take on crushing debt just to obtain a piece of paper

00:48:39.720 that may only ever function as a calling card that prevents their resumes from being automatically

00:48:44.420 thrown in the trash. The companies that unjustly discriminate against competent workers who lack

00:48:50.400 that piece of paper should finally start absorbing some of the scorn and blame that we direct everywhere

00:48:57.320 except them. Yes, they have every right to come up with whatever unnecessary and expensive and frivolous

00:49:03.100 job requirement they want, but they deserve to be shamed for it and named for it. Much of the current crisis

00:49:11.680 is after all their fault. And it's why they today are the ones who are canceled. And we'll leave it there for today.
