The Matt Walsh Show - Ep. 951 - Go Home And Get A Family

00:00:00.000 Today on the Matt Wall Show, Amy Coney Barrett's neighbor has some great advice for the protesters

00:00:04.060 who showed up at her house. We'll talk about that. Also, the pro-life organization whose

00:00:07.380 office was burned and defaced now reveals the hateful messages that leftists have been leaving

00:00:11.740 since the attack. And a self-professed queer surgeon defends his practice of chopping the 0.99

00:00:16.120 breasts off of teenage girls. Plus, CPS shows up after parents enter their six-year-old into a 0.90

00:00:21.640 marathon. Apparently, you can't run a marathon with your six-year-old, but you can change his

00:00:25.780 gender, I guess, in our country. And our daily cancellation, a popular Twitch streamer nearly

00:00:29.540 burns down her house live on camera while trying to cook a steak. Maybe it's time they start teaching

00:00:33.880 basic life skills in school again. Just a thought. We'll talk about all that and more today on the

00:00:38.020 Matt Wall Show. Before we get to the show, I just want to remind you that today is the day, folks.

00:01:24.140 When the pro-abortion radicals descended on Justice Kavanaugh's house last week, they had the support. 0.75

00:01:29.200 In fact, they were led by one of Kavanaugh's own neighbors, a woman named Lacey Wooten-Holway,

00:01:34.600 who organized a demonstration against her own neighbor, inviting the militants into her neighborhood

00:01:39.100 and inflicting them on not just Kavanaugh, but the whole community. Predictably, she was motivated

00:01:44.080 by personal grievance, it turns out. She apparently has an abortion of her own in her past. Certainly

00:01:49.460 no surprise that she's willing to turn on her neighbor, given that she was willing to kill her 0.99

00:01:52.460 own child. Loyalty is not her strong suit. Holway also has a non-binary quote-unquote 12-year-old 0.52

00:01:58.220 who uses they-them pronouns. In other words, she fulfills every cliche of a privileged leftist 0.96

00:02:04.180 middle-aged white woman that you can imagine. I don't know this for certain, but we can assume 0.94

00:02:07.880 that she also has multiple pets and refers to herself as a dog mom. But the situation was a bit

00:02:13.560 different when the Baby Killer crew made their way this week to Amy Coney Barrett's house, decked out

00:02:19.060 in their handmaid's tail costumes. Her neighbors seemed to be considerably less enthused by their

00:02:25.440 presence. In fact, one of them spoke out on camera. Now, he didn't give any impassioned speech or anything

00:02:31.120 like that. He gave no indications of where he stands ideologically one way or another. Instead, he responded

00:02:36.080 as a normal, just common sense kind of guy. And he said something off the cuff that was quite, I think,

00:02:42.440 important and profound and worth reflecting on. But first, let's listen.

00:02:47.640 So, sir, you're a neighbor of the justices, or Justice Amy Coney Barrett, correct?

00:02:52.520 I am.

00:02:53.120 And how do you feel about the protesters coming to your neighborhood?

00:02:57.500 It's none of their business. Why are they here?

00:03:00.260 Do you think it's inappropriate for them to protest in front of the house?

00:03:02.820 Of course it is.

00:03:04.360 Do they have the right to protest, or should they be going somewhere else?

00:03:06.800 They have the right to protest, but not in front of someone's house.

00:03:08.960 They live here. This is where she lives.

00:03:12.600 Absolutely. So, do you have anything to say to the protesters?

00:03:17.480 Just what I just said. They shouldn't be doing this. Go home and get a family. 0.95

00:03:23.200 What I like about the clip is that the guy could easily be a Democrat, for all we know. In fact,

00:03:27.260 given the location, there's a high statistical likelihood of exactly that. But he's approaching

00:03:32.060 the situation with exactly the kind of casual, everyday common sense that's sorely missing from

00:03:37.040 our culture. At least that common sense is not often very visible. And then his statement at

00:03:43.120 the end, go home and get a family. Indeed. Now, granted, many of these women have aborted their 1.00

00:03:49.080 children and thereby literally killed their families. Also, getting a family, if you're going

00:03:53.300 to do it the right way and the best way, requires that you first get a spouse. But the sorts of people

00:03:58.980 who show up at a pro-abortion rally are not fit to have spouses in their current state. It's hard for

00:04:03.920 me to recommend that those women go and get husbands when I certainly would not recommend 0.95

00:04:07.640 that any man go and marry any of those women. And as much as I advocate for people to have 0.91

00:04:12.840 families, the fact is that having a family will not solve all your problems and it certainly won't

00:04:17.240 make, automatically make you a better person. It's not going to have the effect automatically of

00:04:21.600 making you a better person. Probably won't make you a worse person. But if you're a bad person already

00:04:27.040 and you remain a bad person once you have a family, then your badness will suddenly be doing much

00:04:31.940 more damage than it did when you were single. So now there will be people subjected to your

00:04:37.620 badness every day, children molded in an environment infected by it. Now, I haven't known anyone who

00:04:42.980 became more selfish when they had kids, but I have known plenty of selfish people who had kids and

00:04:47.760 remained selfish and now their selfishness is doing immeasurable harm on a whole new scale and at an

00:04:53.020 entirely different level. These are all the caveats to keep in mind before we endorse the idea

00:04:58.220 that people should go home and get families. But these are individual caveats, anecdotal concerns.

00:05:04.080 As a general societal prescription, it is certainly the case that we would be better off culturally if

00:05:10.300 more people went home and got families. It's well established that our society is drifting away

00:05:15.080 from the institution of the family. Perhaps, you know, even drifting isn't exactly the right word.

00:05:19.680 It's more like we're in a rip current being pulled furiously out to sea away from the family.

00:05:25.600 People are having fewer kids. More people are having no kids at all. More are forgoing marriage

00:05:31.820 entirely. Unmarried cohabitation is trending up. Marriage is trending down. We're all familiar with 0.81

00:05:37.880 a lot of these statistics. The average age of marriage for men now is 30 years old, approaching 31.

00:05:44.580 And for women, it's almost 29. Now, less than a century ago, it was 24 for men and 21 for women.

00:05:51.460 But as mentioned, lots of Gen Zers and millennials have no interest in matrimony at all, 0.93

00:05:58.440 viewing the sacrament as old-fashioned, out-of-date, oppressive, patriarchal, etc. and so forth.

00:06:04.360 Now, there is a little bit of a chicken or egg question here. Have we slipped into decadence and

00:06:09.260 collapse because of our abandonment of the family? Or have we abandoned the family because of the

00:06:14.060 decadence and collapse? I think the answer is the latter, the former, and both at the same time.

00:06:17.900 These two things feed off of each other, kind of a mutually parasitic relationship.

00:06:23.220 How can we solve this by focusing on and strengthening and reigniting the institution

00:06:29.220 of the family? What advantage is there in going home and getting families?

00:06:34.500 Well, there are many advantages. For one thing, your family is an anchor, gives you a fixed point

00:06:40.920 of reference. It gives you a purpose, motivation, a reason to work and sacrifice and endure.

00:06:47.900 At the very beginning of Cormac McCarthy's excellent post-apocalyptic book, The Road,

00:06:52.180 the protagonist, who's never given a name, says of his son, with whom he's traversing the desolate

00:06:57.160 wasteland that was once America, he says, all I know is that the child is my warrant, 0.50

00:07:01.680 and if he is not the word of God, then God never spoke. It's a little bit obscure, but I take this to

00:07:07.720 mean that the child is his mission, his ward, his reason for persevering, his vocation given to him

00:07:13.760 by God. And that's what you find in your family, if you have the right heart about it, and if you're

00:07:19.960 willing to listen and understand to the word of God as he's speaking to you. Your family gives you

00:07:25.980 something to care about beyond yourself. It gives you a potential escape hatch from the vicious cycle

00:07:32.540 of constant, shallow self-involvement. Again, not automatic. You have to be willing to grow in that

00:07:40.280 kind of way to put in the effort, but the opportunity is there. Another thing about family

00:07:46.020 is that it anchors you, not just in the present, but it also gives you a stake in the future.

00:07:53.240 And this is something that's really missing from lots of people's lives, and it shows.

00:07:57.520 We don't care a lot about legacy anymore. We don't care about the future. We tear down statues in this

00:08:02.460 country. We don't put them up. But legacy is something that you find in the family, and something you

00:08:08.360 probably aren't going to find if you sacrifice family on the altar of professional achievement,

00:08:14.540 which is what people are told to do these days, especially women. You know, after all, someone 1.00

00:08:19.480 else, after you leave your job, will take the office that you were sitting in. They'll take the

00:08:26.400 position that you had. You're probably not going to be missed very much. The work you did likely will

00:08:32.380 not be remembered for very long, or at all. You'll just be replaced, and nothing will be lost.

00:08:39.080 But nobody can replace a loving and devoted father or mother. The work you do in your family,

00:08:46.440 in service to your spouse and your children, rings down the generations, remembered either with

00:08:52.400 fondness or disdain. And it's there in that vocation where you can find a happiness that surpasses

00:08:58.480 whatever fleeting pleasure may be brought by a pay raise or a bigger house or a nice vacation.

00:09:04.560 Or whatever else you give your life to, if you decide not to give it to a family.

00:09:10.560 So yes, I think the advice is very good. Go home and get a family. Not the solution to all of our

00:09:16.640 society's problems, but it puts us in the right direction, points us towards the answer.

00:09:23.520 Now let's get to our five headlines.

00:09:31.200 You know, with everything going on right now, the news about Roe v. Wade, it's really impossible to

00:09:36.000 avoid the abortion debate, which means that you need to be prepared for it. You may think this

00:09:40.860 means the fight is coming to an end, by the way, with Roe v. Wade ending, but abortion legislation

00:09:44.800 returning to the states means the real battle is just beginning, actually. There's no group in

00:09:48.820 America then better positioned than 40 Days for Life to help fight this battle. 40 Days for Life

00:09:53.460 has one million volunteers throughout the country holding peaceful vigils outside abortion facilities.

00:09:57.860 You may be surprised to hear that their largest presence is actually in the country's bluest state,

00:10:02.720 especially California as their biggest state of all. Their vigils have closed many abortion

00:10:07.620 facilities in America, and nearly half of those facilities were in liberal states where abortions

00:10:12.300 will continue to remain legal after the fall of Roe. From San Francisco to Chicago to Seattle,

00:10:16.640 hardly pro-life areas, volunteers have guided abortion workers to have a change of heart and

00:10:22.300 quit their jobs. Just wonderful and important work they're doing. So as this issue gets out

00:10:26.080 of D.C., finally, 40 Days for Life is effectively changing hearts and minds in the grassroots of

00:10:31.180 the pro-abortion movement. Check out their locations, podcasts, and their new book,

00:10:35.100 What to Say When, the complete new guide to discussing abortion at 40daysforlife.com.

00:10:40.220 So we heard earlier in the week about the pro-life organization in Wisconsin that was attacked

00:10:47.620 by a Molotov cocktail, and it was defaced, and all the rest of it. By the way, not the only example

00:10:56.540 of this. This has been happening across the country by the pro-abortion terrorists. Well,

00:11:02.820 the website Human Events has obtained audio of messages that were left after this attack,

00:11:09.000 and after this organization. They were in the headlines because of this. And pro-abortion

00:11:14.540 activists have been calling this place and leaving messages, and they have not been leaving

00:11:20.100 supportive messages. They haven't been calling to say, I'm so sorry this happened to you. We

00:11:23.100 disagree, but I certainly don't think anyone should have their buildings burned or Molotov cocktails

00:11:27.280 thrown at them. That's not what they're saying. Their message is quite a bit different than that.

00:11:31.400 Let's just play. This goes on for a while. We're not going to play the entire thing, but just to get

00:11:35.120 kind of a taste of it. Let's play a little bit of this. Here it is. Hi, I'm calling because I read

00:11:41.620 about the fire in your building, and I'm calling because I'm curious if it was arson or rather the 0.68

00:11:48.140 good Lord showing you an example of hell and where you belong for being such a misogynistic 1.00

00:11:53.720 f***ing bitch. Thanks for basically going out there daily and making sure that women can't have 1.00

00:12:02.320 control over their own bodies. And I'm so thankful that the good Lord finally took action on people

00:12:10.440 like you. You're going to burn as well. You're all going to burn. You f***ing think you're following 0.99

00:12:15.820 the will of f***ing Jesus. You're following the f***ing devil, actually. You're just evil little f***ing 1.00

00:12:21.840 people trying to control other people's lives. F***ing next time that f***ing bolt off, I hope it f***ing 1.00

00:12:27.940 doesn't f***ing miss. I hope you all burn with it. That's what you deserve. Yeah, you must be a pretty 1.00

00:12:37.100 perverted group if that's all you got to do all day long is think about people's sex organs. Leave your f***ing 1.00

00:12:44.060 beliefs out of the government. You got no rights to be priding into other people's private 0.99

00:12:50.640 family matters. Get the f*** out and keep your f***ing s*** to yourself, you f***ing idiots. We're sick of 1.00

00:13:01.140 you f***ing evangelicals pieces of s***. Go to hell. That's where you're going anyway, f***. Yeah, just 1.00

00:13:08.360 learn about you ignorant, simplistic, wasteful scum because of the fire. And whoever set that fire is a 1.00

00:13:13.800 true American patriot, you people are just utter filth of the planet. And it's too bad your 0.99

00:13:19.580 whore mothers didn't abort each and every last one of you. Hopefully you all get cancer, suffer 1.00

00:13:25.500 amounts, they are dead before the end of the year for the betterment of all of humanity. Good. So I 0.98

00:13:29.900 think we got the point there. Very, very eloquent. Very eloquent from those pro-abortion people.

00:13:35.880 Evangelicals. Probably my favorite part of that is the guy who said, hey, you damn evangelicals. 1.00

00:13:43.120 And he also tells them to keep their beliefs out of the government. They're not the government. This 1.00

00:13:48.520 is just a group. This is a private organization. Keep your opinions to yourself. Well, why? They can't say,

00:13:55.580 well, you're not keeping your opinion to yourself. They're not even allowed to have their opinions,

00:14:00.900 I guess. And keep in mind again that these were messages that were left because this group's

00:14:09.820 building was set on fire and vandalized and defaced. Now, just imagine the shoe on the other foot

00:14:19.060 here. Imagine that it was a pro-abortion organization that was physically attacked in some way. And then

00:14:26.500 there were a bunch of messages from pro-lifers saying all that kind of stuff. Now, that wouldn't

00:14:32.180 happen. And we know that it wouldn't happen. It would never happen because if it did, we'd hear

00:14:35.620 all about it. But that's just not how pro-lifers don't, that's not how pro-lifers operate.

00:14:44.740 But this is how they do. It's, there are a few things about that that are kind of interesting when

00:14:48.580 I listen to it. The first is how, how, how often they make reference to the devil and kind of

00:14:55.940 religion. Now, these are anti-God, anti-religion, you know, secular people. And yet, how often do

00:15:05.680 they bring, as, as, as, in fact, this is a common theme we've talked about quite a bit over the last

00:15:09.840 couple of weeks, how often do pro-abortion people, even though on one hand they appear or claim to

00:15:15.980 hate religion and they always accuse us of imposing our religion on others, how often do they bring

00:15:21.700 religion into the conversation? Religious ideas, religious symbolism, religious references.

00:15:30.880 Very similar, you know, it very much reminds me of the passage in the Gospels, the temptation of

00:15:37.340 Christ in the desert and his encounter with Satan. And what does Satan do? He quotes scripture

00:15:45.160 scripture at Jesus, trying to make his own point, quoting scripture, of course, taking it out of

00:15:51.480 context, just like the left does. Very much modeling themselves after their father in hell.

00:15:59.780 But you listen to that and you just think, like, how much longer can we actually continue to live

00:16:07.780 together as one country? When you've got people, like, this is how they feel about you.

00:16:16.180 And I wish that I could say that this is, that's just fringe, it's, it's rare, it's, you know,

00:16:23.680 these are the fringe radicals. It's not all that uncommon or all that rare.

00:16:30.900 Every time somebody complains, and it's always somebody on the left, because any other complaint

00:16:35.700 like this, it wouldn't get an airing by the mass media. But anytime somebody on the left

00:16:39.300 is, you know, in the headlines claiming that they're getting death threats or whatever,

00:16:43.600 what I always say, I always say, well, that's, that's common. We all, I get death threats all

00:16:46.960 the time. And it is very common, but also, should it be? And what does that say about us as a country

00:16:56.700 in our, in our potential, the potential of our union going forward? These are, these are people

00:17:06.740 like you, they disagree with you. And so it's not just, they disagree. They want you to die.

00:17:12.840 They're happy when, when you are the victim of violence. They want you to die and burn forever 1.00

00:17:18.760 in hell. That's what they want you to get cancer and die. That's how they feel about you. 1.00

00:17:21.600 Can we continue to live united in, in, in that kind of environment?

00:17:33.220 When you've got two sides, really it's more than two sides because each side is fractured

00:17:37.160 itself into a bunch of different pieces. But generally speaking, two sides don't like each

00:17:42.420 other, don't respect each other and worse. It's just, you know, it's even refer to the

00:17:51.580 that we're united at all. It's a, it's a joke at this point. It's like some kind of parody

00:17:57.420 of unity. This is not what unity is. Well, at least we're all united as Americans. Are

00:18:03.540 we? In what way? Around what? They want us to be dead. They want us to get cancer and die

00:18:11.720 and burn in hell. So that's, we're united. It's just, it's not sustainable. And in a certain 1.00

00:18:20.380 point, we got to, we have to actually start talking about this. There are a few people

00:18:26.140 who will talk about, like, let's get really serious about the future of our union as a

00:18:32.120 country. Does it have a future? What does that look like? We need to seriously start talking

00:18:37.880 about that because this is just not a sustainable situation.

00:18:44.100 All right. Maisie Hirono's a senator and like every Democrat, you know, she's hesitant, of

00:18:49.320 course, to explain her own position on abortion. And she appeared, this is somewhat surprising.

00:18:54.740 She's on CNN and the anchor on CNN is actually trying to get an answer out of her, which is

00:19:00.560 pretty uncommon. And you can tell she's taken aback because got a feel for her a little bit.

00:19:04.720 She's not expecting that. These are her people. She's on CNN. She's not expecting that they're

00:19:09.080 going to ask her any real questions or insist on an answer. But he kind of does here and she's not

00:19:14.100 willing to give it. Let's listen. So is this a bill to preserve access as it is today with Roe in

00:19:23.300 place being the law of the land? Or is the goal of the bill to expand it? The bottom line is this is

00:19:30.100 a bill that is going to enable the woman to make the decision. And so we can have all kinds of 1.00

00:19:35.720 arguments getting into the weeds about this or the other thing. But the fact of the matter is that

00:19:41.620 the radical right wing justices put on the court by the Republicans, particularly the last three

00:19:47.960 justices, have decided that they're just going to overturn almost 50 years of a constitutional right.

00:19:54.440 That is the bottom line, that we, through this bill, is restoring that ability of women to make 0.98

00:20:00.920 the decision, not government. But Senator, it's not getting into the weeds on this thing or the

00:20:05.720 other. It's what the legislation is. It's what is guaranteed by it. As you may have heard in the

00:20:12.100 previous report, and you probably know from Senator Susan Collins and Lisa Murkowski.

00:20:16.480 Yeah, it's just getting, Senator, this bill that you're advocating for, you supported,

00:20:22.780 what does it do exactly? I don't want to get into the weeds. Well, that's, so we're not going to

00:20:27.500 start talking about this and that. And what's, it's the bill that you support. What does it do

00:20:33.700 exactly? What is, what's the point of it? Doesn't even want to tell you that.

00:20:39.700 It doesn't even want to, even, even broad strokes. Now we know quite famously that politicians in DC

00:20:51.380 are, are often pushing for legislation that they haven't read, that they don't want it. They don't

00:20:56.180 want to get into the specifics of it and all that kind of stuff. But with this, this is like just,

00:21:01.040 okay, can you give us a couple sentences on what this bill does? We don't even need to get into all

00:21:06.640 the specifics as much as that would be nice also. But give me a couple sentences. Like what's the

00:21:10.520 point of the legislation? What does it do? Doesn't even want to tell you that. Because what the

00:21:16.080 legislation would do and what she doesn't want to say is that it would legalize abortion nationwide

00:21:21.620 through every stage of pregnancy for any reason everywhere. So I can explain, you don't have to

00:21:27.800 get into weeds. It doesn't take a long time to explain. You can explain it in one sentence and

00:21:31.580 that's what it does. And she doesn't want to admit that. And when you have one side of discussion

00:21:37.800 that is always reluctant to simply state their case and be honest about what they want.

00:21:49.880 And then you've got the other side that has no problem talking about what they want.

00:21:54.360 And is very eager to have the conversation like that should tell you something.

00:21:56.900 Meanwhile, over at the Biden administration, Joe Biden yesterday had a couple of moments

00:22:05.220 that I think we need to watch. Here he is. I think this is best without a lot of context. And as

00:22:12.180 always with Biden, it's hard to give the context to what he's saying anyway. But here he is screaming

00:22:16.980 about, I think, food shortages. It's not exactly clear, but he's very upset about something.

00:22:22.840 And let's listen to that.

00:22:24.040 Remember the long line to stay in the television? People might have all kinds of behaviors just

00:22:32.360 to get a box of food and then they're drunk. How quickly did we forget? People were hurt.

00:22:41.380 And what is it that my crowd wanted to do? Forget it. Forget it. God is in the United States

00:22:50.320 America. What can you do but laugh? It's not even, it's not funny. I mean, this guy, he's just wandering

00:23:10.820 around the stage screaming and no one knows what he's talking about. What, what are we talking about? I

00:23:16.140 I mean, food shortages. Yeah, those, those are happening. But who are you yelling at? You're the

00:23:21.360 president. The idea that people can't get food. Yeah, right. You're in charge. You're the guy.

00:23:31.000 The MAGA crowd.

00:23:34.680 The MAGA crowd is saying, hey, wouldn't it be nice if we had enough formula to give babies so

00:23:38.660 they don't starve to death? I think that's what the MAGA crowd is. Not just MAGA crowd,

00:23:41.460 it's just like what everyone is saying. Every normal people think that it'd be nice if there

00:23:46.740 was enough food for babies in this country. That it is, it is, words escape me to describe,

00:23:54.600 it's beyond an outrage, beyond an absurdity that we live in a, in a, in what's supposed to be the

00:24:00.940 greatest country in the world and we're running out of food for our babies?

00:24:04.400 A totally avoidable situation?

00:24:12.800 In fact, I don't have the clip, but there was someone else in the Biden administration today

00:24:15.840 was, was asked about this and he said that, well, we've known about this. We knew about the

00:24:20.580 problem and we were prepared. So you knew about it? Oh, we knew about this months ago. I knew back

00:24:25.160 back in February, they say. What did you do about it? Because I already gave an example of one solution

00:24:33.260 would have been pretty easy, especially if they knew that this situation was approaching, that it

00:24:38.420 was coming, which is to get the FDA the hell out of the way, because that's all they do. That's all

00:24:45.040 the FDA does is they stand in the way and they put red tape in place and regulations and all these

00:24:50.640 onerous things to make everything more difficult and to constantly justify their own jobs. That's

00:24:55.200 the only reason most of these bureaucracies exist. They exist for their own sake. They're like self

00:25:01.320 perpetuating. They just exist to grow larger. They're, they're cancerous tumors on our country

00:25:08.920 are these bureaucracies, especially the FDA. And when we get to a point where they're actually

00:25:15.740 needed, like, okay, here's something you guys could do. Here's a, you, you do almost nothing

00:25:20.620 all the time, except, except just try to justify your own existence and your own paycheck.

00:25:27.560 You don't do anything to help Americans. Well, here's a situation where you could actually help

00:25:31.220 and they're nowhere to be found. They're given cable news interviews and say, oh yeah, we're on it.

00:25:36.600 We're working on it. Yeah. They could have approved more of these European, uh, baby formula brands

00:25:46.060 for sale in America because in Europe, they're not having this problem. They got plenty of baby formula

00:25:50.920 to go around and in other countries as well. So we start importing some of those rather than making

00:25:59.220 it illegal for people to buy those kinds of formulas.

00:26:02.700 Well, no, we can't, we can't allow you to feed your baby until we at the FDA have, uh, you know, we, we,

00:26:12.860 we have to approve each and every one. We have to take a look. You need to give us, yeah, your baby's

00:26:17.180 hungry and wants to eat, but, uh, we need seven to eight months to really take a look at this and run

00:26:22.740 through all the tests and do all this, you know, and everything and get everybody involved and all the

00:26:26.440 sign-offs at every level and all the paperwork. Your baby can wait seven or eight months to eat, right?

00:26:32.700 And then we have, uh, Joe Biden. Here's his message. As we go into the midterms, here's a little

00:26:40.560 message, another great message of hope from Joe Biden. Listen to this.

00:26:45.360 This pandemic isn't over. Today, we mark a tragic milestone here in the United States.

00:26:52.200 One million COVID deaths, one million empty chairs around the family dinner table.

00:26:58.040 The pandemic isn't over. So this is their message. As we headed to the midterms,

00:27:03.220 this is, we have come a long way from Biden's boss at the time and who still is his boss,

00:27:11.440 Barack Obama, getting elected on a message of hope and change. We've come a long way from that.

00:27:17.540 We've come a long way from hope. Now it's the pandemic isn't over

00:27:23.040 and food and screaming about food shortages.

00:27:30.540 My God. Um, okay. I want to play this for you. Someone who goes by the handle 0.84

00:27:34.600 queer surgeon on Tik TOK and who chops the breasts off of minor girls for a living 1.00

00:27:40.060 is, uh, speaking out now in his own defense. And by the way, he's quite proud of what he does and 0.89

00:27:46.540 is not embarrassed or shamed at all. And, um, here he is justifying himself.

00:27:51.600 So I'm here to clarify and speak some truths about what's happening with gender affirming care and

00:27:57.960 adolescents. Um, most of the bills that are going through right now aim to limit this care for people

00:28:02.480 under the age of 18. And there's this false narrative that a lot of teenagers are having

00:28:06.920 gender affirming surgery. Most of the teenagers that are having surgery are getting chest surgery.

00:28:12.340 And most of that is happening before 18 because these individuals didn't have access to early

00:28:17.920 enough medical treatment. So using surgery as sort of this false narrative to attack

00:28:24.280 gender affirming care as a whole is not correct. The truth is that by limiting access to medical 0.90

00:28:29.620 care with some of these bills, you're actually going to cause more people to need gender affirming

00:28:34.000 surgical care. So the real headline there is that we've got this guy, the queer surgeon, 0.99

00:28:39.440 quote unquote, admitting that most of the, uh, the quote chest surgeries, which is, uh, which really

00:28:47.280 is mutilation. They're just chopping the breasts off of physically healthy girls. Most of it is 1.00

00:28:52.200 happening to minor girls before the age of 18. And there's, and he even admits there's a lot of it

00:28:57.780 happening, but tries to draw, draw some sort of distinction between, um, gender firm, quote unquote,

00:29:04.920 gender affirming surgery and this. He said, Oh, there's this false narrative that there's all

00:29:08.960 kinds of the surgeries happening to kids. Oh, it's mostly just the top surgeries. Yeah. That's,

00:29:14.360 that's your, you're, you're chopping body parts off of children. A lot of them, this is currently

00:29:24.340 happening in the United States of America. 14 year old girls are being brought in and having their body 0.91

00:29:31.360 parts removed. And for all the talk of the backlash, the much needed and deserved backlash against this

00:29:41.840 kind of thing. I mean, these people are still, they're not worried. They're out in public talking

00:29:46.700 about it. And of course, everything he says is just completely full. The only honest thing we heard

00:29:54.460 there is that there's a lot of this happening and it's mostly happening to minor girls. He's right 1.00

00:29:58.680 about that. Everything else is total nonsense. Starting with the, uh, with the claim that this

00:30:02.800 is medical care. This is not medical care. You know, if you're chopping off a body part,

00:30:10.060 there are times when chopping off a body part is medical care. There are times when limbs and parts

00:30:17.640 of the body have to be removed. Double mastectomy because of a, for, for a cancer patient. Okay.

00:30:24.860 That's medical care. Somebody has their leg horribly mangled and you have to take the leg

00:30:32.080 off. That's medical care. But when you are removing physically healthy body parts from a

00:30:40.960 physically healthy person, that is not medical care. That is mutilation by definition.

00:30:47.160 And he also makes this claim that, oh, this is only happening because these girls are not given,

00:30:55.540 uh, the, the, the medical care they need earlier in life. And if they got that quote unquote medical

00:31:01.420 care, then we wouldn't have all these surgeries. Total nonsense. Not only because it's not actually

00:31:08.180 medical care that he's talking about, but also because like, what is he referring to? What he's saying

00:31:12.300 is that, well, these girls, um, who I guess he would say are boys, even though they have breasts 0.99

00:31:18.880 that need to be, that he thinks need, need quote unquote, to be chopped off. But if they were given, 0.98

00:31:24.160 uh, like hormone blockers and hormone pills and stuff like that, then, then we wouldn't be,

00:31:29.580 and not enough of these kids are being given the drugs early enough in life. So for him,

00:31:34.360 the solution is to drug more kids and to drug them earlier in life.

00:31:38.300 But he damn well knows that all the drugs do and all they're really meant to do is put the kids on

00:31:47.140 the path to surgical mutilation. I mean, the drugs are not going to stop a girl from growing breasts 1.00

00:31:57.000 permanently. In fact, they're the ones who always say that it's temporary. Oh, puberty blockers are

00:32:04.440 temporary. It's what they always claim and reversible. The reversible part is also not true.

00:32:10.060 That's a lie. So there are just so many, every time these people speak, they speak for 45 seconds

00:32:13.960 and there are so many lies that you, it's, you know, it's overwhelming. It's, it's hard to even

00:32:19.200 know where to begin in sifting through all this, but they themselves say it's a, it's a temporary

00:32:26.120 thing. Okay. So you're given the puberty blockers temporary, even though, even from the temporary

00:32:31.020 use of the puberty blockers, there's now going to be lifelong effects, but then you take them off

00:32:36.520 the puberty blockers. Now what? Well, the next step is to put them in for surgery.

00:32:44.820 That's why this guy who makes a lot of money chopping the breasts off of girls, that's why 1.00

00:32:50.620 he wants more girls on the drugs and wants them on drugs earlier, because that creates the factory 1.00

00:32:57.780 conveyor belt of girls who are going to eventually make their way over to him. 0.97

00:33:06.200 Because most of the kids who are put on these drugs, they end up seeing, they end up, they end

00:33:10.580 up going the whole way. They're now in the system. They're on the drugs. They're on the conveyor belt.

00:33:16.900 And then not all that far down the line, you get to the butcher with the scalpel.

00:33:23.540 And he's sitting there with his pockets open, waiting to, you know, make some more money off of

00:33:27.680 it. I also wanted, this is kind of related in a way that might not be immediately obvious,

00:33:34.880 but, or maybe it is from the Daily Wire report says, a six-year-old Kentucky boy who ran in a

00:33:40.540 Cincinnati marathon was visited by Child Protective Services, his parents said this week.

00:33:44.920 Cami and Ben Crawford, whose son, Rainier, ran in the Flying Pig Marathon in Cincinnati with his

00:33:51.320 entire family, was visited by CPS at the family's home in Kentucky, according to an Instagram post

00:33:56.340 made by the family on Monday. Quote, on Friday, social workers came to our house and interviewed

00:34:00.600 our children because leaders in the running community are calling running with children

00:34:04.760 wrong. It then shows a picture of Rainier seated at a table outside the family's home, supposedly

00:34:09.720 speaking with one of the CPS workers. This needs to stop, the Crawfords wrote in the caption.

00:34:13.980 Our children are having emotional breakdowns, not from running, but from a mob that has been

00:34:18.700 weaponized by running's most accomplished and celebrated individuals. They're stating that

00:34:22.480 children running is abusive and not providing any data or facts. The reports in the stance are false.

00:34:27.340 Hundreds of witnesses, including police officers, and hours of video footage corroborate.

00:34:30.800 When will you apologize and retract? Then it gives a little bit of context here. It says,

00:34:36.160 as controversy erupted around the family, Olympic long-distance runner Kara Goucher

00:34:40.200 seemingly condemned the parents for allowing their son to run in a 26.2-mile race.

00:34:45.780 Goucher wrote on May 4th, I don't know who needs to hear this, but a six-year-old cannot fathom what

00:34:50.820 a marathon will do to them physically. Let's stop there for a second. A six-year-old cannot fathom

00:34:57.300 what a marathon will do to them physically. A six-year-old does not understand what embracing

00:35:02.300 misery is. A six-year-old who is struggling physically does not realize they have the right

00:35:06.760 to stop and should. And that was someone that was, so that was one person, I guess,

00:35:12.380 is well-known in the running community, is what we're calling it, I guess, who said this. And

00:35:16.840 there were others who thought that it was abusive to have the kid in the marathon. And then reportedly,

00:35:21.820 apparently, CPS shows up to check on the kid. Okay. Now, as for putting your six-year-old in a marathon,

00:35:31.560 um, I would agree that that's not the right approach. Like, I would agree that six-year-olds 0.97

00:35:43.740 are too young to be running 26.2 miles, even if they want to. And of course, they're going to want

00:35:49.680 to. I mean, any, um, any boy, when it comes to anything, any kind of physical exercise, any,

00:35:55.240 anything like that, if he sees you doing, especially if he sees his dad doing, he's going to want to do

00:35:59.860 it too. So I certainly believe that a six-year-old would want to run a marathon, but yeah, I, I would

00:36:05.780 say you're, you're too young at that age. And it's, it's just, it's too much exercise for, for a kid

00:36:13.480 that age, you're, you know, the potential damage to your muscles, to your bones, it's pretty high

00:36:18.940 risk. I mean, really for anyone to run in a marathon is a high risk proposition physically.

00:36:24.020 And, uh, you got to really know what you're doing and be highly prepared to undertake something

00:36:29.060 like that. But as the post pointed out, six-year-old can't really know what they're getting

00:36:34.500 themselves into or what the potential, um, long-term side effects could be. I mean, how this could mess

00:36:40.360 up your knees down the line and all that kind of stuff. So I agree. Shouldn't have a kid in a,

00:36:44.880 in a marathon. Um, does that mean that CPS should be showing up at your house about that? Absolutely

00:36:49.720 not. Like there are, there are kids who are being subjected to real severe abuse in this country

00:36:57.680 who, uh, could use a visit from CPS. And having your kid take part in a, in an activity with you

00:37:07.000 and exercise, like that doesn't fit the bill, even if I think it's not the right thing to do.

00:37:12.500 Um, and yet I can't help, but think, you know, CPS, they're showing up at the house because the six-year-old

00:37:21.320 is not old enough to run a marathon. And yet we've got plenty of six-year-olds in this country who are

00:37:29.920 choosing their own genders. CPS not showing up for that. And even again, go back to what, uh, this 0.69

00:37:37.680 Goucher person said. Six-year-old can't fathom what the marathon will do to them physically.

00:37:44.600 Six-year-old doesn't understand what they're doing. Six-year-old doesn't realize they have the right

00:37:49.440 to stop. Hmm. Yeah. Sounds exactly like the situation that six-year-olds are in when they're

00:37:57.660 put onto the path of gender transition. Cannot fathom what that's going to do to them physically. 1.00

00:38:03.440 Young kids, when they're put on hormones, cannot fathom what that's going to do to them physically.

00:38:08.160 Don't understand what they're doing. And really importantly here, they don't realize that they

00:38:14.280 have the right to stop and that they should stop. Just like Goucher says of the kid in the marathon.

00:38:24.740 Well, it's a different kind of hellish lifelong marathon that you're putting a kid on when you

00:38:29.620 put them in the, on the, on this gender transition path. And there are a whole lot of kids, like once 0.91

00:38:34.760 they're in it and they're being identified, boy identifying as a girl, and they're on that path

00:38:39.860 and they think that they can't, that they're on the, the conveyor belt. They think that they can't

00:38:45.160 jump off. They think it's too late to jump off. They're going to disappoint people and they got to

00:38:48.540 just go with it. And you can listen to plenty of detransitioners who are now older and adults. 1.00

00:38:53.980 And that's exactly what they'll tell you, especially the ones who started when they were kids.

00:39:01.160 They were never comfortable with it. They never really understood what they were doing and they

00:39:04.620 never really felt like they could stop. That's what's happening in America now is if you have

00:39:13.880 your kid do too much exercise, you know, then CPS will show up. But if you, if they were to,

00:39:19.020 instead of having the young boy in a marathon, if they were to dress them up like a girl and put 0.97

00:39:23.460 them on the path to drugs and genital mutilation, no problem. If anything, CPS would show up,

00:39:29.960 knock on the door and award them a ribbon, a medal. Forget about CPS showing up. You're going to

00:39:35.560 have, you know, Time Magazine, the Today Show. They're going to be there wanting to do a profile

00:39:39.560 on your courage and on your, what a courageous, brave family you are.

00:39:47.860 Completely upside down and backwards as always. Let's get now to the comment section.

00:39:52.360 Scott says the ash-breasted tit tyrant is a species of bird in the family

00:40:13.120 Tyranidae. It is found in Bolivia and Peru. Its natural habitat is, habitat is subtropical or tropical.

00:40:19.660 It is threatened by habitat loss. Well, thanks for ruining the joke, Scott. And I don't believe

00:40:26.240 anyway that the ash-breasted tit tyrant is threatened by extinction because like I said,

00:40:29.620 there's going to be a whole flocks of them tomorrow in DC for the Women's March. So I just

00:40:34.980 don't, I don't buy it. Rachel says, it's true. I thought my friend was joking with me when he said

00:40:39.860 he got sent home from work because of a turtle. So apparently if you find one desert tortoise,

00:40:45.280 the entire construction site must be shut down. So many stories like this that I've heard,

00:40:50.180 a lot of them in the comment section too. You know, we know people are getting arrested for

00:40:55.480 violating the Endangered Species Act. But as I said yesterday, this people in the construction,

00:40:59.420 especially in certain regions of the country, people in the construction business know all

00:41:03.020 about this because entire projects shut down. Not even because the project might kill

00:41:10.100 an endangered species, but just because it may inconvenience or irritate or qualify as harassment

00:41:18.440 of an endangered species. E432 says, vote if you don't want to see Matt do any type of dance,

00:41:27.040 have compassion and let him back out. Thank you for that, E432. Look, here's what, here's the

00:41:34.480 solution here. I know I mentioned in my fit of insanity, I mentioned that I would do the interpretive

00:41:39.540 dance, uh, it, when I, when we get to a million subscribers and I did say that, and you know,

00:41:44.300 that I would never back out of a promise, but if, you know, I'm going to give you in the audience

00:41:51.180 and in the sweet baby gang, I'm going to give you a chance to think about this. And if you decide

00:41:56.820 that you don't want me to do this, then I will respect your wishes. So it's not me pulling out.

00:42:01.320 Okay. It's not me backing out of a promise, but if you decide that you want to have compassion

00:42:05.960 and be good people and tell me, nevermind, you don't have to do this, that I will let in,

00:42:11.600 I will, I will give you an opportunity to tell me that and I'll respect your wishes in that case.

00:42:16.740 So just, just decide. Do you want to be good, decent people and say, nevermind, Matt, don't do

00:42:23.400 the interpretive dance, or do you want to be horrible people and force me into it? It's up to you.

00:42:28.200 It's totally up to you. Let's see. Ross says, two observations. When I flew for the Marines in San

00:42:37.940 Diego, we were forbidden to land in large areas of one of the gigantic bases due to the endangered

00:42:43.140 fairy shrimp. Not joking. And two, the bald eagle is a symbol of our freedom. So that dude got jailed

00:42:50.320 for killing one, but countless people go unpunished for burning the literal symbol of our freedom,

00:42:54.760 the American flag. Makes total sense. That's a really good point also. That the whole reason,

00:43:01.800 and you could say, well, a bald eagle is a living thing and a flag isn't. Yeah, but a bald eagle,

00:43:07.660 it's a bird and it's perfectly, there are all kinds of birds that you're allowed to kill.

00:43:12.220 Perfectly legal. But when you're not allowed to kill the bald eagle, even though it's not

00:43:16.240 endangered, and the only reason is because of its symbolic significance. Well, if we're protecting

00:43:23.640 things because of their symbolic significance, then why would that not extend to the flag,

00:43:28.660 which is the actual symbol of our country? Very good question. Jake says, Matt, I appreciate your

00:43:33.880 take on the baby formula shortage and agree that it's a big problem, but I feel you're missing an

00:43:37.640 opportunity to advocate for breastfeeding and make clear that it's the best thing for mom slash baby. 0.74

00:43:42.680 The switch to formula has been part and parcel with the feminist takeover of the family. 1.00

00:43:46.860 Uh, I just don't agree with you. Um, I don't think that, uh, formula has anything to do with

00:43:54.660 feminism at all. First of all, uh, I think formula is a wonderful thing. It's that there are babies who 0.50

00:44:00.280 are alive today and would not be because of formula. Uh, there are babies, as we said in the past who

00:44:07.880 would have starved to death or, or been victims of malnutrition because they weren't able to breastfeed

00:44:13.160 for, for any variety of reasons. And, uh, but you know, now that we have formula, so we don't,

00:44:19.360 that's if the formula is available on the shelves, you don't have to worry about that.

00:44:23.200 So I don't agree with you there. And I don't think that the breastfeeding versus formula decision

00:44:26.840 is some kind of, you know, morally loaded, super important situation. I think it's, it's hard

00:44:32.260 enough to be a parent and I want to be an advocate for becoming a parent and starting a family.

00:44:38.520 Like we talked about at the beginning of the show, I think it's a wonderful thing.

00:44:40.860 Um, but you just make it harder on people in unnecessary ways. It's difficult enough to be a

00:44:47.660 parent. Modern society introduces enough additional challenges, but then on top of that,

00:44:55.820 you just have like every little choice you make as a parent gets picked apart and, you know, debated

00:45:02.360 and, you know, anything at all. Like people, parents know this. If you, you can think you might

00:45:07.640 want to share something about your family or about something that you did online, just cause you

00:45:11.600 think it's a nice, fun thing. And so you say, Oh, this is what we did today. And people will just

00:45:16.000 start picking it apart. You'll have the mom brigade come in and the dad brigade, and they're 1.00

00:45:22.060 going to be picking it apart. Oh, you shouldn't be doing that. And that's a bad choice. This would

00:45:25.200 be better as a parent. So every little decision you make as a parent becomes this, uh, hotly debated,

00:45:32.320 controversial thing. And I just think that a lot of that is unnecessary. I mean, there are really

00:45:37.860 important decisions you'll make as a parent. Uh, there are morally loaded decisions that you'll

00:45:42.660 make as a parent. I don't think breastfeeding versus formula is one of them. Here, here would

00:45:46.180 be my recommendation. And I think this, this applies to a lot of parenting situations, not all of them,

00:45:51.520 but many of them figure out what works for you and your family and, and do that.

00:46:00.580 And, and the baby honestly is going to be fine either way.

00:46:05.380 And as long as you're caring for them and loving the child, when it comes to feeding the child,

00:46:10.100 make sure they get the, you know, as long as they get the right nutrients that they need,

00:46:13.320 figure out what works for you, what you're able to do and just do that. Really simple. That's,

00:46:17.460 that's my advice. It's the most infamous Supreme court case in memory and the deadliest decision

00:46:22.240 in history. But even 50 years after Roe v. Wade, few know the truth behind the landmark decision,

00:46:27.000 a decision that's enabled the destruction of over 64 million babies since 1971. Well,

00:46:32.420 the daily wire has taken a wrecking ball to the 40, rather the four big lies, the abortion history

00:46:37.640 was built upon with our original documentary, choosing death, the legacy of Roe. And there are,

00:46:42.840 there are probably 40 lies or a lot more, but the four big ones are uncovered in this

00:46:47.460 documentary. And especially we get into the history of where, how this came to pass

00:46:51.340 and why it needs to pass away. Finally, you'll hear the facts and stories the abortion regime 0.94

00:46:56.260 has suppressed for generations and get a clear eyed view at the brutal reality. They desperately

00:47:01.200 don't want you to see some of this content is hard to take in, but a few subjects, if any,

00:47:05.540 are more important than this. You'll see what I mean when you watch the trailer. Here it is.

00:47:09.600 Many times when we did this, as we started, patients would begin crying and protesting. But once we had

00:47:32.040 begun dilating the cervix and passing instruments into the uterus, it was too late to stop.

00:47:36.900 I was handing hush money to women who we had left pieces of their baby. We had put these women's 1.00

00:47:52.140 lives in jeopardy. We had put their lives at risk and we were literally giving them a check for $800.

00:47:58.060 And for a poor woman, $800 is a lot of money. 1.00

00:48:06.820 I mean, there have been so many moments in the last decade plus of going undercover in abortion

00:48:11.460 clinics myself and seeing just heartbreaking things. Women vomiting in the hallway of an abortion

00:48:18.440 clinic, crying out in pain. The late-term abortionists talking casually about how they would literally

00:48:25.320 leave a born alive baby to die. Or if you deliver the baby in the toilet, then you pick it up and 0.67

00:48:30.100 stuff it in a plastic bag and bring it to us. Babies are being born alive and the backs of their necks

00:48:36.440 are being slid. They are being drowned. Their necks are being snapped. It's happening more often than

00:48:44.960 people want to think about. These abortion facilities, these abortion providers, these

00:48:51.900 doctors, they don't care about these women. And you're just, you're realizing you're watching

00:48:58.620 in front of your own eyes play out America's greatest horror story, which is how we butcher

00:49:04.460 children in the name of choice.

00:49:34.460 So please help us expose the truth. Tell your friends to watch. And if you're not already,

00:49:47.220 become a Daily Wire member and tune in today to watch our documentary on abortion. You don't

00:49:51.360 want to miss it. Choosing Death, The Legacy of Roe. Go to dailywire.com slash choosing and join the fight

00:49:57.040 today. Now let's get to our daily cancellation. Today we cancel Kelly Caron, who is a popular 0.59

00:50:06.920 personality on the platform Twitch, where people usually go to watch other people play video games.

00:50:11.200 But apparently some Twitch streamers will simply go about their mundane everyday lives and broadcast

00:50:16.600 all of it and fans will sit and watch. It's a bit like the Truman Show, except in this case,

00:50:21.000 the stars of the show are aware that they're on camera. And also a lot of time they have none of

00:50:25.240 the charm or personality of Jim Carrey's character in that film. And that brings us to streamer Kelly,

00:50:29.680 who was live streaming while cooking a few days ago. And there's nothing immediately strange about

00:50:35.580 watching somebody cook. I've been known to enjoy a cooking show or two in my time. But usually you

00:50:41.260 watch somebody cook because they're a master chef and you're watching in order to learn their

00:50:45.200 techniques. Or else they're an amateur chef and you're watching to see Gordon Ramsay verbally abuse

00:50:50.800 them for overcooking the salmon or whatever. What I don't quite understand is watching someone

00:50:55.000 cook alone in their kitchen when they apparently aren't even familiar with the rudimentary basics

00:51:00.020 of cooking. Now I'm speaking somewhat rhetorically here. I do actually understand why people sit and

00:51:05.640 watch live streams where the star of the show has nothing interesting to say and isn't doing

00:51:09.560 anything worth watching. It's the same thing that drives the screen addiction that most people in

00:51:13.540 this country suffer from, which is loneliness, despair, lack of meaning in life. People turn to the

00:51:19.120 internet for companionship, having given up on real physical relationships and on physical

00:51:23.620 existence in general. But that's a topic for another time. The point today is this particular

00:51:28.880 Twitch streamer, Kelly Curran, who was broadcasting live while cooking, attempting to cook rather,

00:51:35.320 a steak. And then things went sideways in a hurry. Let's just watch this as this unfolds here.

00:51:42.040 So she's got the, it's, it's smoking all over the place. She's got the steak, probably way 0.55

00:51:47.320 overcooked it. She doesn't turn the burner off. Now there's the fire. Whipping the pan around the

00:51:54.820 room. Spread the fire everywhere. Oh, fuck. I don't know what to do, guys. I don't know what to do.

00:52:00.020 Turn the stove off, first of all. Turn the stove off. The stove's still on. Help! Help! Help! Help!

00:52:04.980 Help! Help! Help! Now she's just shouting out the, out the door. Help! I don't know what to do,

00:52:09.000 you guys. Turn the stove off, first thing you do. Man, that's frustrating. Especially as a dad,

00:52:15.560 you know, that's, that's, that's tough to watch. Okay. So she almost burned down her house. As it

00:52:22.920 happens, apparently the fire department showed up in time and that she escaped without any major

00:52:27.500 property damage or personal injury. Thank God. But it could have been much worse seeing as how she did

00:52:32.240 literally everything wrong. As soon as the overheated pan she was using to vaporize that

00:52:37.060 poor steak erupted into flames. So let's go through the missteps one by one. Okay. I think this will be

00:52:42.260 very helpful. And in fact, I might save some lives right here today on the Matwell Show. So first,

00:52:47.120 she blows on the flame, which of course only makes the problem worse. It's like when you're starting a

00:52:53.540 campfire and you want to get it going and you've got the, the embers. And so you start blowing on it

00:52:57.920 because you want to make the fire get bigger. That's why you don't do that with a kitchen fire.

00:53:03.760 Blowing only puts out a fire when the fire is contained on the wick of a birthday candle.

00:53:08.520 If the flame is much bigger than that, you fuel the fire by giving it more air.

00:53:13.000 So then she whips the pan around, which by the way, is giving it more air. Okay. Cause she's whipping 0.53

00:53:18.120 it around and she puts it in her sink where she attempts and thankfully fails to pour water on it. 1.00

00:53:22.680 Because if she had succeeded in dousing her grease fire with water, she would have caused a massive 0.76

00:53:28.020 fireball to erupt out of her sink and likely set her cabinets aflame and also probably her hair and 1.00

00:53:34.300 everything else. And then she whips the pan back around, spraying hot flaming oil all over the 1.00

00:53:41.400 kitchen, like some kind of fiery sprinkler and sets it back on the stove without turning the burner off.

00:53:46.460 Then she leaves the flame and the stove that's still on and just starts randomly shouting help 0.96

00:53:53.300 out her front door. It's a masterclass in what not to do when you have a grease fire in your kitchen. 0.99

00:53:58.940 So here's what you should do for the record. First, remove the pan from its heat source.

00:54:06.660 Okay. That's the first thing you do. Turn off the heat source. Your next step is to smother the flame.

00:54:12.820 Don't blow on it. Don't dump water on it. Don't dump gasoline or lighter fluid. Smother it. If

00:54:20.420 the fire is small enough, you could probably take care of the problem by just putting the lid

00:54:23.480 on the pan, which originally she probably could have done that before she blew on it. She probably 1.00

00:54:27.240 could just put the lid on it and that would have been good enough. It's a bigger fire than you'll

00:54:30.800 need to smother it by dumping either baking soda or salt on it. Just make sure it's baking soda,

00:54:34.980 not baking powder, or else you'll be in for an unfortunate surprise. If you don't have either of those

00:54:40.180 things handy, or if the fire is already too large to contain that way, then use your fire extinguisher.

00:54:44.120 And if you don't have a fire extinguisher, then hopefully you have a fire blanket. If you don't

00:54:47.140 have a fire blanket and you can't smother it with a lid and you don't have baking soda or salt,

00:54:50.240 or the fire is too big by this point to put it out that way, then just toss yourself into the fire

00:54:54.300 as penance for being so woefully unprepared. Now, actually your last resort in that situation is to

00:54:59.280 get out of the house and call 911. So you didn't think you'd get fire safety tips on the Matt Wall

00:55:03.880 show today, but that's where the conversation took us. And all this leads me to a deeper point that I

00:55:08.880 think needs to be made here. The comedy of errors that we just witnessed is a very small microcosm of

00:55:14.560 a much bigger problem afflicting our society. A huge number of Americans do not possess even the

00:55:20.560 most basic life skills, like how to put out a kitchen fire, how to cook in the first place so

00:55:26.860 that hopefully you don't have fires, food safety, first aid, housekeeping, money management, budgeting,

00:55:34.420 how to do your taxes, how to change a tire, car repair, home repair, the list goes on. All of us

00:55:39.260 are deficient in, almost all of us are deficient in some of those areas. Many of us are deficient in

00:55:43.680 all of them. And the reason in large part is that these sorts of things are not being taught in

00:55:49.520 schools anymore. Now, obviously parents should be training their children in these skills,

00:55:54.360 but 50 million kids in this country spend most of their waking hours through most of their

00:55:58.180 formative years in school buildings. And that would be in theory, the perfect place to impart

00:56:01.760 a lot of this kind of knowledge. And there was a time when lots of these things were covered in

00:56:06.920 school. They even had a whole subject, home economics it was called, and they were, that

00:56:11.540 subject was devoted to everyday life skills like these. But those courses started falling by the

00:56:16.720 wayside in part because it was considered too retrograde and unfeminist to teach kids, especially

00:56:20.880 girls, how to cook and clean. And also in part because public school curriculum started to revolve

00:56:25.920 more and more around standardized testing and college readiness. Like the focus now is to make kids

00:56:30.940 ready for college, not for life. And in part because the schools needed to make room in the day to

00:56:37.100 teach about LGBT pride and CRT and other forms of insidious nonsense. The end result is that kids 1.00

00:56:43.500 whittle away hundreds of hours in these alleged educational facilities and come away from it with

00:56:48.180 almost no practical or useful knowledge or skills at all. Next thing you know, they're live streaming

00:56:55.500 while burning down their kitchen. You teach these skills in school. And again, it would be great if

00:57:03.100 parents taught it, but it's also a self-perpetuating problem because the parents, we have a whole

00:57:08.500 generation of parents who don't know these skills either because they didn't learn them.

00:57:12.100 Teach the skills in school. Isn't that an interesting concept to actually give kids useful knowledge

00:57:22.640 that will make their lives better and easier? Make them more self-sufficient? Who would have

00:57:30.800 thought? And that's why on second thought, maybe I'm not going to cancel Kelly Curran. Instead, I think

00:57:36.720 it's our utterly useless education system that must be once again today canceled. And that'll do it for

00:57:43.340 us today. Thanks for watching. Thanks for listening. Have a great weekend. Talk to you on Monday. Godspeed.
