Jill Biden reached out to Hispanic voters by comparing them to tacos. For some reason, it didn t go over well. Plus, J.K. Rowling continues to experience backlash for committing the sin of speaking to me. And the creator of Friends embarks on a global apology tour to atone for all of the unwoke sins her show committed all of those years ago. Also, remember that story about Border Patrol agents whipping Haitian immigrants? Well, a 500-page report now confirms what was obvious to anybody with eyes to begin with: It was all a lie.
00:00:34.840All of that and much more on The Matt Wall Show.
00:00:46.200Do you want to know an easy way to adjust your spending and saving strategies?
00:00:50.380Just call my friends over at American Financing, which is America's home for home loans.
00:00:54.880There you can get a free, no-obligation financial review so you can understand new ways to get out of debt faster.
00:01:01.080I mean it when I say there's no pressure, there's no upfront or hidden fees.
00:01:03.920It may sound daunting making a call like this, and you think it's going to get complicated, you're going to get roped into all kinds of different things.
00:01:09.160That's not the case. It's very simple. No pressure at all.
00:01:11.620It'll just be a simple conversation about ways you can add hundreds back to your monthly budget, and that's something that these days we could all certainly use.
00:01:19.020Maybe it'll be by consolidating debt, by adjusting your mortgage terms, or even accessing cash.
00:01:23.880Whatever it is, believe me, these guys can help, and you don't need perfect credit to make it happen either.
00:01:28.400They want to help as many families as possible.
00:01:30.980It's one of the many reasons why I like these guys so much and appreciate them.
00:01:35.240So why not take 10 minutes and learn more?
00:01:37.760If you start soon, you could close in as fast as 10 days.
00:01:52.380Well, I could not have predicted that this would be the week when an organization would have to release a statement with the phrase,
00:02:00.500we are not tacos, but then again, here we are, and I, for one, am loving every second of it.
00:02:06.420This all begins with Dr. Jill Biden, Ph.D., making a stop in San Antonio to speak at a luncheon held by a far-left Hispanic advocacy group called Unitos U.S.
00:02:16.560And more on that group in this luncheon in just a second.
00:02:19.200But during her speech, Biden, somehow still the most coherent and eloquent Biden in the family, but the bar is very low,
00:02:27.280wanted to show that both she and her husband are deeply in touch with the Hispanic community.
00:02:33.180You know, they understand Latin culture and its people.
00:02:36.260They especially love Latino people for the one or two minutes that they spend in the voting booth,
00:02:41.660provided that, of course, they vote Democrat all the way down the ticket.
00:02:44.260And that's the Hispanic tradition that I think they most value and cherish,
00:02:48.960though it's a tradition that has been rapidly fading, thankfully.
00:02:52.320The last few election cycles have made it abundantly clear that the Democrat Party is steadily losing its grip on the Latino vote.
00:03:00.920As a recent Reuters headline put it, Hispanic voters are losing faith in Democrats.
00:03:05.380And the article suggests that the swing in the Hispanic community towards the Republican Party is like a 10-point swing,
00:03:11.380almost 10-point swing, eight or nine points just for Trump in 2020.
00:03:16.520And they suggest this has a lot to do with the abysmal state of the economy right now.
00:03:20.780And there's no doubt that that's at least part of the story.
00:03:23.960It comes as news to Democrat politicians, but minority voters are actually human beings who have real practical concerns.
00:03:32.280For instance, they want to be able to afford gas and food, and they don't want their children to starve to death.
00:03:39.600So these are things that they're concerned about.
00:03:41.260They also don't particularly want to be murdered by criminals that Democrat DAs let off the hook.
00:03:47.120Now, admittedly, on this point, I haven't really checked the polling data.
00:03:50.100In fact, I haven't checked the polling data on all of this, on any of it, but I can just assume that it's true.
00:03:54.740And also this as well, I'm betting that a huge number of Hispanics and other minorities don't want to send their kids to school to learn about gender fluidity or to be subjected to drag queen strip teases.
00:04:08.960These are all reasons why Hispanics may be increasingly looking for political options outside of the Democrat bubble.
00:04:16.660And this is what drove, primarily, Dr. Jill Biden, Ph.D., to the Latino conference.
00:04:23.600And it's what led to this glorious moment, which begins with Dr. Jill Biden, Ph.D., attempting to praise the work of the president of the organization, whose name is Raul.
00:04:35.060That's his first name and his last name I won't even attempt to pronounce.
00:04:38.080And that's when things go careening off the rails tremendously.
00:04:42.240Raul helped build this organization with the understanding that the diversity of this community, as distinct as the Bogotá's of the Bronx, as beautiful as the blossoms of Miami, and as unique as the breakfast tacos here in San Antonio, is your strength.
00:05:09.580Now, I realize that I am in no position to criticize anybody for mispronouncing words, but even I find myself flabbergasted by bodegas.
00:05:24.320Now, she means, of course, bodega, but she pronounces it like somebody who would go to a Mexican restaurant and order a quesadilla and then try to impress her waitress by asking her to point in the direction of the albano.
00:05:36.320And yet this was somehow not the most embarrassing part of Dr. Jill Biden, Ph.D.'s remarks.
00:05:44.560She also, as has been much discussed in the hour since, tried to compliment Hispanic people by saying that they are as unique as breakfast tacos.
00:05:54.120And from what I understand, you know, just what I've heard reports is that next week she'll be speaking to an Asian-American organization where she'll praise attendees for being as bold and vibrant as General Tso's chicken and as reliable as pork fried rice.
00:06:08.180But this at least will not be as insulting as when she hails Italians for being as cheap as box spaghetti and says that the French are as soft and puffy as a freshly baked croissant.
00:06:18.240Now, the question, though, is that the taco comment in particular, what was it actually racist or or, you know, really offensive?
00:06:27.040And of course it wasn't. It's stupid and it's hilarious, embarrassing for her, but greatly enjoyable for the rest of us.
00:06:35.140Not racist, though. Right. Yet I confess that I'm not eager to defend her from the racism charge any more than she would be presumably eager to defend me from such a charge.
00:06:44.920So instead, I'll just sit back and enjoy the show as various left wing groups pretend to have been severely victimized by Dr.
00:06:53.260Jill Biden, Ph.D.'s clumsy attempt at pandering to them. That's what brings us to, as mentioned at the top, the National Association of Hispanic Journalists, which released the following statement last night after this whole thing happened.
00:07:06.020And they said, NAHJ encourages the first lady and her communications team to take time to better understand the complexities of our people and communities.
00:07:16.720We are not tacos. Our heritage as Latinos is shaped by various diasporas, cultures and food traditions do not reduce us to stereotypes.
00:07:27.820So this is there. They are, you know, standing up to tamp down the stereotype that Hispanic people are tacos because that's a stereotype that, you know, you've heard a stereotype before that Hispanics are just like they're just tacos, literally.
00:07:44.620But they're not, turns out. And I'm glad we cleared that up.
00:07:47.800But are they burritos? Are they chalupas? Are they a bowl of guacamole? Further clarification, I think, needs to be made here.
00:07:57.720For her part, the first lady has now issued an apology for calling Hispanic people tacos.
00:08:04.100Her spokesman tweeted this morning, quote, the first lady apologizes that her words conveyed anything but pure admiration and love for the Latino community.
00:08:12.020He then added that the guilt and regret she feels burns inside her like a very spicy salsa.
00:08:18.620And yet, amid all of this delicious taco controversy, I think the most truly offensive, like actually offensive and gratuitous aspect of this story has somehow been lost, as it so often is.
00:08:33.160Because the actual name of the conference where she delivered these ill-fated remarks was, quote, this is what it was, the Latinx inclusion luncheon.
00:08:45.340Now, inclusion is spelled with an X and therefore pronounced, I guess, inclusion.
00:08:52.960Of course, the irony here is that if you actually add an X to inclusion, it becomes exclusion.
00:08:59.700So it's, which actually there's, I think, something poetic about that.
00:09:05.120It's no wonder the first lady, you know, felt that she could be demeaning and patronizing in her remarks.
00:09:10.040She was speaking, after all, at the Latinx inclusion luncheon.
00:09:15.120Obviously, she felt like she had some license here.
00:09:17.140The left is holding her accountable for her taco-related stereotypes, and yet they haven't noticed that the whole event promoted right in its name the Western white liberal colonization of the Spanish language.
00:09:33.380Now, I'm not Hispanic, but I can still say that I think I would rather be compared to a taco than have my language destroyed for the sake of appeasing LGBT militants.
00:09:45.580And then again, the same thing is happening to the English language, so I suppose we're all in the same boat.
00:09:50.600We have to understand, I think, getting away from the taco stuff for a moment.
00:09:56.120We have to understand the reason why they're randomly dropping the letter X into words, where it doesn't, of course, make any sense, and where it, in fact, destroys the meaning of the word itself.
00:10:07.800As we've talked about before, you know, when you do this, especially with the Spanish language, which is a heavily gendered language, and you try to make everything gender neutral, you're just, you're just obliterating the language.
00:10:39.940That's what they're saying to Hispanic people.
00:10:41.880But the X thing in particular, it seems totally arbitrary, right?
00:10:47.580Like, even if I, even if we agreed that we needed to make words more inclusive, which we don't, and which doesn't make any sense anyway.
00:10:54.980I mean, words are, every word, every word by its nature needs to be exclusive in that it means a certain thing and doesn't mean other things.
00:11:02.720Because if every word means everything, then no word means anything and we can't speak anymore.
00:11:07.220But why, so, but even if we agreed that words need to be inclusive, like, why would the letter X accomplish that?
00:11:36.840They manipulate their subjects or simply command them to do arbitrary and meaningless things because they're arbitrary and meaningless.
00:11:46.760It's like that scene in Cool Hand Luke when the jail warden makes Paul Newman's character dig a hole for no reason and then fill it back in and dig it again.
00:11:55.380The idea was to, you know, break his will and his spirit, train him to be obedient and to follow orders.
00:12:01.760It didn't work in Cool Hand Luke's case, but for many Americans, it has worked.
00:12:07.940Now, the X thing in particular hasn't quite caught on yet.
00:12:11.680The Hispanic community almost uniformly rejects it, but give it time.
00:12:16.520I mean, the left has shown that this strategy works.
00:12:21.040Make people do arbitrary things, dance through hoops for no reason, break their will, train them to be obedient.
00:12:28.820As funny as the taco controversy is, I think this is the real agenda, what we should be talking about.
00:16:39.220I always learn new things about myself anytime my name appears in headlines.
00:16:42.660Here's a bit of the Pink News article.
00:16:44.220The Daily Wire film features Walsh asking, what is a woman to a variety of people, including a pediatrician, a surgeon who specializes in gender reaffirming surgery, and controversial psychologist Jordan Peterson.
00:16:54.560The film has been called transphobic by Rolling Stone and dangerous by LGBTQ nation.
00:16:59.640Well, if it's called that by LGBTQ nation, you know it's true.
00:17:05.780Rolling Stone, never mind the fact that as we established, yes, they did call it transphobic.
00:17:10.660And I think they also called it dangerous, but as we established, none of the people involved in writing this article, this hit piece on what is a woman for Rolling Stone, had actually watched the film.
00:17:21.000The editor made it through 11%, and the writer of the article didn't watch any of it whatsoever.
00:17:28.460Pink News says, it provides ammunition for those who seek to deprive transgender people of access to affirming and life-saving health care.
00:17:37.220Walsh, the author of Johnny the Walrus, a notorious anti-trans children's book, has become known for describing himself as a theocratic fascist, a label that has been directed at him previously by his critics.
00:17:48.520In a blog post explaining his use of the label, which he uses in his Twitter bio, Walsh claims that it could be an obviously sarcastic joke, or it could be a completely literal and sincere statement without the slightest hint of irony or sarcasm.
00:18:01.600It is definitely the latter, can I just say? Could be one of the two, but I am, I think I've been very clear about this for years now, that I'm a theocratic fascist.
00:18:09.480I have plans to take over, not just this country, but the hemisphere, and put you all underneath my tyrannical boot heel as my servants and slaves.
00:18:21.780That's, that's my plan. I think I've been very open about this.
00:18:25.720And yet, again, all Rowling did was acknowledge the film in the context of criticizing me, and this is a story to the left.
00:18:36.120They can't handle it, they can't deal with it.
00:18:39.360Because they believe that they have the right, well, there are a few reasons for this, a few reasons why this becomes a story they talk about for three days.
00:18:46.180Because one of them is that they believe they have the right to control who J.K. Rowling speaks to.
00:18:55.400Like, what they're saying to us, you're not allowed to talk to him, even to criticize him, can't talk to him, can't talk to that guy.
00:19:03.160They can control who she speaks to and who she speaks about.
00:19:07.360Why do they think they have that right? Well, they think they have that right with everybody, but especially because she is a woman.
00:19:12.460You know, the left believes that it owns women, that women are its property, just like they believe this with racial minorities in this country.
00:19:22.680And that is a unique challenge for women who stand against them.
00:19:31.000That on top of getting all the normal anger and backlash, there's also this sense of, they're treated like traitors.
00:19:39.180Like, there's this sense of betrayal. How dare you?
00:19:42.320You're supposed to be on our side just because of your sex, even though sex doesn't exist.
00:19:47.080But still, we determine based on that, that you belong to us.
00:19:50.160And the fact that that is a unique challenge for women, that's something that I'm perfectly prepared to acknowledge.
00:19:58.860In fact, I'm eager to acknowledge it. I've said it many times.
00:20:02.080The problem, though, and this is what I'm running into with the feminists, even the feminists who are critical of the trans agenda, is that they can't leave it at that.
00:20:13.180This is the case for J.K. Rowling herself as well.
00:20:16.460Like, we could talk about if you're a woman and you stand up against the trans mob, there are, you're going to be treated in a certain way.
00:20:25.600And there are going to be unique challenges that come with you being a woman standing up against these people.
00:20:30.660That's fine. We could talk about that.
00:20:34.140But the feminists, they can't leave it at that.
00:20:37.040They want to go all the way to claiming that, as J.K. Rowling did herself, that men aren't criticized at all when we say our opinion.
00:20:46.480We experience no backlash because we're men, which is just completely absurd.
00:20:53.200And because they insist on this, then that's why, you know, everything kind of breaks down.
00:20:59.180Any chance that we have for conservatives to sort of form this alliance with left-wing feminists, at least on the issue of transgenderism, any chance of that happening, in my experience especially, just completely breaks down.
00:21:14.860Because they are beholden to this victimology, this victim hierarchy, and they can't get past it.
00:21:23.980And the thing is, no matter who you are, if you take a stand against the orthodoxies of the day, there are going to be unique challenges for you.
00:21:35.640Whatever your position is, whoever you are, whatever your identity is, you're going to have to deal with certain things, and some of that's going to be unique to you in your particular station in life.
00:21:47.780And so the position, and if we want to break it down male and female, the position women are in is that, again, the left thinks that if you're a woman, well, they own you.
00:21:57.700They have ownership of you, even though you belong to a category that doesn't exist according to them.
00:22:21.120I don't think either category is treated well.
00:22:24.420Just you're treated like worthless scum in slightly different ways.
00:22:29.600I don't know why we can't simply all agree with that.
00:22:33.260Moving on to this, Marta Kaufman, who's the creator of the, what I think next to Seinfeld may be, at least is the second most overrated sitcom of all time, Friends.
00:22:43.800She's been on an apology tour recently, and I'm not exactly sure why she's been doing this now in particular.
00:23:25.140So for the last few weeks, she's been going around apologizing for all of the various groups that were hurt by Friends somehow in an effort to become an ally now.
00:24:47.640Okay, so one thing she's been doing for the last, I don't know exactly everything she's been up to since Friends went off the air, but it's very clear that she's been studying wokeness.
00:24:59.620And she's been studying it closely because she knows, she speaks the language now.
00:25:05.300She had it all down, you know, do the work, participate in the conversation, all this kind of stuff.
00:25:16.020I guess it's because there weren't enough black actors on the show.
00:25:20.200And so it erased, apparently, at least I've learned, I can assume this is what she's talking about, because this is what I've seen from other left people on social media, that Friends erased black people by not having enough of them on the sitcom.
00:25:37.280So I don't know if you are a black person, you might not even realize that you were erased by a sitcom in the 90s, but you were and you and if you don't feel harmed and damaged by that, you should this even according to the co creator of the show, she even says that.
00:25:52.260So now she's pledging it's $4 million to support African and African American studies.
00:25:57.300So she's trying to heal the racial wounds created by Friends because of that.
00:26:05.720Look, anytime there's an occasion where someone is a victim, we know that the trans club, they're going to find their way in to that conversation.
00:26:15.720Nobody in this country is allowed to be a victim by themselves without including trans people.
00:30:13.280It was a story amplified, of course, by the media, amplified by Joe Biden.
00:30:18.120The president himself went on TV and was talking about how, what a horrible atrocity this was.
00:30:24.960And, of course, there were a lot of things about that story that, a lot of questions that were raised that we could have talked about, we should have talked about.
00:30:30.900Like, for example, why are Haitian immigrants coming across the southern border?
00:30:36.200Well, we didn't talk about that, though.
00:30:37.140Instead, we talked about the fact that they were getting whipped.
00:30:38.580But even though, you know, there were images at the time of this whipping, there were pictures and there were also, there was video as well.
00:30:48.140And you could look at that, as we did on the show, and clearly see, oh, that didn't happen.
00:32:08.660It says, U.S. Border Patrol agents on horseback engaged in unnecessary use of force against non-threatening Haitian immigrants,
00:32:14.640but didn't whip any with their reins, intentionally or otherwise, according to a federal investigation of chaotic scenes along the Texas-Mexico border last fall that sparked widespread condemnation.
00:32:27.480Again, the headline in the media, including on NPR and every other mainstream media outlet, was that they were whipping the immigrants.
00:32:32.840And now we're being told that never happened.
00:32:36.980Is there any retraction from any of these media outlets?
00:32:41.740Instead, we get the, well, we weren't exactly right, but we were basically right because they were still using force.
00:32:47.200Well, what kind of force were they using?
00:32:49.000Let's read on and try to find out because in, again, in the, in this, in the videos and in the photographs, I didn't see really any force being used.
00:32:57.840Except in the case, except just in the sense that, that the Border Patrol agents are physical beings.
00:33:04.400So anything they do involves physical exertion.
00:33:09.540I mean, even speaking requires physical exertion.
00:33:12.720So is that what they mean by physical force?
00:33:16.360In a 511-page report released Friday, Customs and Border Protection blamed a lack of command control and communication for mounted agents using their horses to forcibly block and move migrants during an influx of Haitians arriving last Saturday, rather, last September at the U.S. border outside Del Rio, Texas.
00:33:35.880CBP Commissioner Chris Magnus said during a news conference, we're going to learn from this incident and we'll find a way to do better.
00:33:42.880Not everyone's going to like all the findings, but the investigation was comprehensive and fair.
00:33:48.960Video and photos of the incident made it appear agents were whipping Haitians.
00:33:52.540Well, no, it didn't make that appear that way at all.
00:33:54.940The headlines made it appear that way, but the video and the photographs did not make it appear that way.
00:34:00.880Caused outrage among advocacy groups and civil rights leaders.
00:34:03.420The Biden administration promised a full investigation after many in the president's own party objected that such tactics with racial overtones were the kinds of policies that the U.S. was supposed to be moving away from after years of hardline immigration tactics under President Donald Trump.
00:34:17.760Yeah, I wish there were hardline immigration tactics under President Donald Trump.
00:34:21.860One of my biggest problems with the Trump administration and his tenure is that we did not at all get the hardline tactics that we were promised.
00:34:30.520But anyway, former police chief Magnus took over the nation's largest law enforcement agency, blah, blah, blah.
00:34:35.960What I'm trying to get to is is what where exactly was the physical force?
00:34:39.240I mean, that's in the headline that they used inappropriate force.
00:34:42.620And then in the first sentence, they say it again.
00:34:46.840Are they going to explain what they meant by that?
00:34:49.320And as you go through the article, it doesn't appear anywhere.
00:34:52.440So it would seem that by physical force, what they mean is that exactly what I said, actually, that these the Border Patrol agents were are physical beings and they were there like exerting themselves physically.
00:35:07.300And so that's what we mean by physical force.
00:35:08.840And yes, they did try to block the illegal immigrants from running across the border and running away.
00:35:17.480You don't really see any physical contact being made, but they do position themselves in front of the illegal immigrants to try to block them.
00:35:25.680And you might point out that that is exactly why they're there.
00:35:35.980They are there to try to block people from coming across the border illegally.
00:35:41.580That's one of the only reasons the Border Patrol exists in the first place.
00:35:47.880That is being called unnecessary and inappropriate force.
00:35:53.400As a way of papering over the fact that the whole story about whipping Haitian immigrants was completely false and fabricated from the beginning.
00:36:01.360I'll move to this is from the Daily Wire.
00:36:02.760It says the Food and Drug Administration received its first application for an over the counter birth control pill on Monday.
00:36:09.540The application comes just weeks after the Supreme Court's ruling overturned Roe v.
00:36:13.400Wade, which has some critics concerned about access to contraceptives.
00:36:16.280There's no reason why there should be any concern about that, because Roe v.
00:36:18.780Wade has nothing to do with contraception.
00:36:21.040But it says the company behind the application, HRA Pharma, a Perigo company, seeks to become the first daily birth control pill available in the U.S.
00:37:08.860Total growth was 0.1%, which is definitely below replacement level.
00:37:13.700And that is one of the many reasons why I don't celebrate any news about more accessible birth control.
00:37:20.480Another reason is that the whole idea that birth control is inaccessible or there's a lack of birth control or it's hard for people to get their hands on birth control.
00:37:29.580The whole idea is completely absurd and nonsensical and a complete false narrative.
00:37:35.740There is the options for birth control for anyone who wants it are plentiful.
00:37:42.140Unless you live out in the wilderness, 100 miles from the nearest town, and there's not very many places you can go in this country to live somewhere like that, and not very many people do.
00:37:52.280But unless you live in a situation like that, birth control is very accessible to you.
00:37:58.800Like you can get birth, you can get a form of birth control of contraceptive at almost any gas station.
00:39:51.860Well, it has a lot to do with birth control.
00:39:54.320It has a lot to do with the fact that people are increasingly giving up on human relationships entirely, replacing it with internet porn and that sort of thing.
00:40:35.060And you can see that in people because when you, as I said, you would think it'd be obvious that our population declining and dying off is a problem.
00:40:47.480You'd think that would be obvious to people.
00:40:48.940And yet, when you tell people that, very often they kind of shrug their shoulders.
00:40:54.640Why does it matter if your civilization dies off?
00:40:57.360If I need to explain that to you, then we have big problems here that go beyond this conversation.
00:41:02.920All right, let's go to some good news before we get to our comment section.
00:41:08.820This article from CNN, unfortunately, ropes Biden into it and tries to give him credit for something that he had nothing at all to do with.
00:41:15.060But if you can overlook that, the story is quite fascinating.
00:41:18.900It says, the first glimpse of how the James Webb Space Telescope will change the way people see the universe has arrived.
00:41:25.140President Joe Biden has released one of Webb's first images.
00:41:29.920The president didn't release the image from the satellite, but whatever.
00:41:33.520And it's the deepest and sharpest infrared image of the distant universe to date, according to NASA.
00:41:38.600The image shows a galaxy cluster, and it's called gravitational lensing.
00:41:45.320This created Webb's first deep field view of incredibly old and distant faint galaxies.
00:41:50.220The presentation occurred at the White House during a preview event with NASA Administrator Bill Nelson.
00:41:55.080And then today and throughout the week, they're going to release more images from this telescope.
00:41:58.120So this telescope, and you can see, we'll put the image up on the screen, you can see it.
00:42:04.620This is a telescope positioned a million miles away.
00:42:09.340Now, the Hubble telescope, I think, is like 300 miles outside of Earth's orbit.
00:42:14.260This is a million miles away, orbiting like around the sun, capturing images 5 billion light years away, which is to say 5 billion years into the past.
00:42:26.780And when you look at that image, each blob of light that you see there in the image is a galaxy.
00:42:35.140And each of those galaxies has like 100 billion stars.
00:42:38.660And each of those galaxies is millions of miles away, millions of light years away from each other, yet they seem so crowded together in the image.
00:42:49.100And yet, if you were to hold up a grain of sand in front of your face, it would block out this whole region of space from your perspective.
00:42:59.520Okay, billions and billions and trillions and zillions of miles with billions of planets and suns and nebulae and galaxies and black holes and probably millions of advanced civilizations.
00:43:14.140I'm assuming all of that, from our perspective, tinier than a grain of sand on the beach.
00:43:44.640Given recent SCOTUS wins, it feels like the pendulum may be swinging back to a time when the nuclear family was situated at the center of American life.
00:43:55.840We've got a long way to go, but maybe we're headed there ever so slowly.
00:43:59.440Where, you know, in this case, real conversation, learning, and growth begin at home with your family gathered around the table.
00:44:05.940In President Ronald Reagan's farewell address, he said,
00:44:08.180All great change in America begins around the dinner table.

00:45:13.180Now, we do have some comments from the show yesterday, but there were two others that I neglected to read yesterday as we were reading yesterday, reading comments from a video released during vacation where I was ranking the worst superheroes.
00:45:28.060And I was reading some comments from some very angry nerds who were mad that I was being disrespectful of superheroes and superhero mythology.
00:45:37.980I just want to read two other comments to you because these are great.
00:45:40.260Uh, Yakubu says, hey Matt, I just want to say, you are absolutely right.
00:45:44.640You're not qualified to make this judgment of superhero movies.
00:45:47.600If you think that the Wonder Woman outfit isn't the right one for war, maybe if you research on the character, you'll know better.
00:45:56.060Oh, yeah, Wonder Woman in like a spandex leotard fighting trench warfare.
00:46:04.040That's the, that, by the way, also bright colored, bright colored, uh, but the hair and makeup is perfectly done.
00:46:11.520Bright colored spandex uniform for trench warfare.
00:46:21.040If someone said to you, if you got enlisted to be involved in trench warfare, that you would say, hey, let me go grab my spandex real quick.
00:46:29.880Dwight says, usually I'm very much in agreement with Matt Walsh, but I could not watch this whole video.
00:46:35.100Blatantly ripping female superheroes for a show and trying to compare them to realistic standards when they're obviously fictional characters is ridiculous and irresponsible.
00:46:45.520Everything he's saying can be applied to male superheroes if you utilize that same logic.
00:46:50.740The tone from the first eight minutes I watched really makes it sound as if he personally does not like women superheroes.
00:47:19.720But I also don't like any other superheroes.
00:47:21.700So you can rest easy, I suppose, on that part of it.
00:47:24.620And then you complain about the topic itself.
00:47:27.140We'll find something else to talk about.
00:47:28.060You clicked on a video where the title was ranking the worst superheroes.
00:47:34.820So it doesn't make any sense to click on the content and then criticize the content for existing.
00:47:40.940It's just like if I walked in to, you know, if I were Jill Biden walking into a taco restaurant and then saying, why are you guys making tacos in here?
00:49:33.840But once we acknowledge that, then we just have to move on.
00:49:37.700Because if we're going to tolerate that as an excuse indefinitely, then nothing's going to ever get better.
00:49:45.780Like if you want any kind of positive change in society, it requires at least a little bit of courage.
00:49:51.780There's no way to do it without courage.
00:49:55.920Courage is, I think C.S. Lewis said, courage is the testing point of all virtue.
00:50:00.820You can't really have any virtue if you don't have courage.
00:50:03.840So what you're, and I appreciate that you're trying to be empathetic.
00:50:12.400But at the same time, what you're basically saying is, yeah, but you know, if it requires courage that we shouldn't expect people to do it.
00:50:18.480Well, that is also, talk about giving up on civilization.
00:50:22.860I mean, that's, you're just giving up or throwing up our hands.
00:50:26.500And we need to hold people to a higher standard than that.
00:50:28.680Yes, it does require courage to stand up against the mob, but we all should expect each other to show courage.
00:50:37.960And if we don't, we should be held accountable for that.
00:50:42.420Let's see, Peanut Pablo says, I feel so bad now because I'm blind and I have my fiancee drive me places.
00:50:51.800I'll have to put up with the judgment of Sweet Daddy Walsh and the Sweet Baby siblings.
00:50:55.420Well, I hate to say it, but, you know, just as I know that I can't depend on any excuse when I relinquish the steering wheel to my wife, even though I had driven 17 hours and she only drove two and I felt like I was falling asleep at the wheel.
00:51:11.480So I had to, still, it's not a good excuse.
00:51:34.740Every day, the universe is expanding and we're learning more about it and how interesting and fascinating it is.

00:52:42.800Now let's get to our daily cancellation.
00:52:49.200Well, it's been a prolific week for privilege.
00:52:52.420It all began on Saturday with a rousing Twitter debate about Anne Frank's white privilege.
00:52:57.660Now, apparently some leftists on the platform had been discussing the issue of inherent privileges allegedly enjoyed by victims of the Holocaust.
00:53:06.340And TMZ was the first outlet to pick up on this conversation and report on it with the breathless and only semi-coherent headline,
00:57:50.440And if you need two seats, you still have thin privilege compared to somebody who takes up the whole row.
00:57:53.900And that person actually has thin privilege compared to somebody who needs to charter their own military cargo plane just to get around.
00:58:01.220And that person has thin privilege compared to somebody who can't fly at all and has to be tied down to an aircraft carrier like King Kong and dropped off on a mythical island filled with other prehistoric beasts.
00:58:10.820As long as there's at least one other life form, theoretically more gargantuan than you, you have thin privilege, we're told.
00:58:19.740Now, you can kind of see the self-serving, I would really call it brilliance of the thin privilege spectrum concept because all at once, it allows the fat person to claim victim status, you know, competing for gold in the oppression Olympics.
00:58:36.300While at the same time, rationalizing their gluttony by also claiming thin status in comparison to people fatter than themselves.
00:58:44.520So they can have their cake and eat it too.
00:58:46.780In their case, both figuratively and I'm sure literally.
00:58:49.740The magic of intersectional victimology all at once makes them both victims of fatness and beneficiaries of thinness.
00:59:06.300Because as a great philosopher once said, I think it was Aristotle.
00:59:09.520He said, quoting, he said, the mere existence of a fatter ass does not make your ass any less fat.
00:59:18.300Thinness, you know, may have a relative component to it.
00:59:21.760For example, even after gorging myself on vacation for a week and a half, I am still thinner than, let's say, a humpback whale.
00:59:30.520But that doesn't really mean anything.
00:59:32.400Because if you're a human being, your thinness or fatness is judged really not based on a comparison between yourself and other species or even between yourself and other people, but rather on how a human is supposed to be built.
00:59:43.760The problem with being fat is that if you are fat, you are carrying around more lard than your body was made to handle.
00:59:53.420And that would be the case even if you were the only person on earth.
00:59:55.860Even if you are morbidly obese and everyone else dies and you're the last person living, you would still be fat.
01:00:05.540Because your body wasn't made to handle all that fat.
01:00:08.700You're overtaxing your bones, your internal organs.
01:00:12.120That would be the case no matter what anybody else is doing.
01:00:15.380This is also why thin privilege makes no sense.
01:00:17.320No matter what the left has tried to do with the word, privilege is quite simply, as the dictionary still defines it, at least for now, a special right, advantage, or immunity granted or available only to a particular person or group.
01:00:34.260The ability to fit onto an airplane seat is not a special right or advantage.
01:00:38.860The ability of my liver and lungs and other internal organs to function normally is not a special right or advantage.
01:00:47.260It's simply the standard human experience.
01:00:49.880It's what we're supposed to all experience.
01:00:51.620The obese person has inflicted upon himself special disadvantages.
01:00:57.180That doesn't make him a victim in any kind of societal sense of the term.
01:01:01.780The same can be applied to the concept of racial privilege.
01:01:04.760If you, as a white person, have never been explicitly granted special rights or advantages or immunities because of the color of your skin, then you don't have white privilege.
01:01:17.700If there is nothing that you're allowed to do because you're white that other non-white people aren't allowed to do, then you don't have white privilege.
01:01:40.240This is especially the case if you're a woman.
01:01:41.740All kinds of privileges come with being an attractive woman.
01:01:44.380And most of all, there are privileges granted on the basis of ideology.
01:01:49.320You will enjoy the support and encouragement of every powerful institution in the country if you're on the left side of the ideological divide.
01:01:58.140That's the greatest privilege that our society has to offer.
01:02:02.560It's where true privilege can be found in many ways.
01:02:06.020So, ironically, those complaining about their lack of privilege are doing so in order to gain privilege.
01:02:12.900By professing the doctrine of privilege, they're publicly aligning themselves with leftism and ensuring that they'll be granted all the privileges that come with it.
01:02:21.340And that is why white privilege and thin privilege and all the other fallacious concepts of privilege are today canceled.
