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
00:00:16.120
breasts off of teenage girls. Plus, CPS shows up after parents enter their six-year-old into a
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.
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
00:01:52.460
own child. Loyalty is not her strong suit. Holway also has a non-binary quote-unquote 12-year-old
00:01:58.220
who uses they-them pronouns. In other words, she fulfills every cliche of a privileged leftist
00:02:04.180
middle-aged white woman that you can imagine. I don't know this for certain, but we can assume
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?
00:02:53.120
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?
00:03:04.360
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.
00:03:12.600
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.
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
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
00:04:07.640
that any man go and marry any of those women. And as much as I advocate for people to have
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
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,
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,
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
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.
00:09:31.200
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

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
00:11:48.140
good Lord showing you an example of hell and where you belong for being such a misogynistic
00:11:53.720
f***ing bitch. Thanks for basically going out there daily and making sure that women can't have
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
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
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
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
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
00:12:44.060
beliefs out of the government. You got no rights to be priding into other people's private
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
00:13:01.140
you f***ing evangelicals pieces of s***. Go to hell. That's where you're going anyway, f***. Yeah, just
00:13:08.360
learn about you ignorant, simplistic, wasteful scum because of the fire. And whoever set that fire is a
00:13:13.800
true American patriot, you people are just utter filth of the planet. And it's too bad your
00:13:19.580
whore mothers didn't abort each and every last one of you. Hopefully you all get cancer, suffer
00:13:25.500
amounts, they are dead before the end of the year for the betterment of all of humanity. Good. So I
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.
00:13:43.120
And he also tells them to keep their beliefs out of the government. They're not the government. This
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
00:17:18.760
in hell. That's what they want you to get cancer and die. That's how they feel about you.
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
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
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
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.
00:22:24.040
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.
00:23:34.680
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?
00:24:12.800
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
00:27:30.540
My God. Um, okay. I want to play this for you. Someone who goes by the handle
00:27:34.600
queer surgeon on Tik TOK and who chops the breasts off of minor girls for a living
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
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
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,
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
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
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
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
00:31:18.880
that need to be, that he thinks need, need quote unquote, to be chopped off. But if they were given,
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
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
00:32:50.620
he wants more girls on the drugs and wants them on drugs earlier, because that creates the factory
00:32:57.780
conveyor belt of girls who are going to eventually make their way over to him.
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
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
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.
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
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.
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
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.
00:43:42.680
The switch to formula has been part and parcel with the feminist takeover of the family.
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
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
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
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
00:47:52.140
lives in jeopardy. We had put their lives at risk and we were literally giving them a check for $800.
00:48:06.820
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
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
00:49:34.460
So please help us expose the truth. Tell your friends to watch. And if you're not already,

00:49:57.040

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
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
00:53:18.120
it around and she puts it in her sink where she attempts and thankfully fails to pour water on it.
00:53:22.680
Because if she had succeeded in dousing her grease fire with water, she would have caused a massive
00:53:28.020
fireball to erupt out of her sink and likely set her cabinets aflame and also probably her hair and
00:53:34.300
everything else. And then she whips the pan back around, spraying hot flaming oil all over the
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
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.
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
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
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.
