We ll talk about all that and more today on the Matt Walsh Show.
00:00:00.000Today on the Matt Walsh Show, another congressional hearing about abortion.
00:00:03.020This one features liberals refusing to denounce infanticide, refusing to define the word woman,
00:00:07.740and once again claiming that men can get pregnant.
00:00:09.940It has been a very instructive spectacle, if nothing else.
00:00:12.800Also, AOC is the victim of an outrageous and violent attack after a comedian mildly heckles her for 10 seconds.
00:00:20.140And a parent at a school board meeting is told that it would be illegal to read out loud some of the material
00:00:24.880that the school board has approved for children in their district to read at school.
00:00:28.560Plus, Amazon bans me from advertising my book on its platform again.
00:00:32.780And car companies are now charging you subscription fees to access the features in the vehicle that you already paid for.
00:00:38.100We'll talk about all of that and more today on the Matt Walsh Show.
00:00:49.920The Supreme Court decision overturning Roe is a huge step in the right direction and, of course, long overdue.
00:00:55.420But there's still a long way to go to rid our country of abortion and give all unborn children the right to life that they're guaranteed by the Constitution.
00:01:03.900Did you know that if you're currently on a phone plan with one of the major carriers,
00:01:07.320you may be helping these left-leaning companies donate to pro-choice causes and candidates,
00:01:12.020or you may be paying for their employees' travel expenses for abortions, even worse.
00:01:15.940Don't let abortionists use your money to fund policies and behavior that you don't believe in.
00:01:22.860Switch to the pro-life, pro-family cell phone company that I use instead.
00:14:18.820If you're a parent, then you know kids are amazing and also amazingly expensive.
00:14:23.660But with Fabric, protecting your family with term life insurance is surprisingly affordable.
00:14:27.860Fabric was built specifically for parents to help you manage your family's financial future like a parenting pro, stress-free.
00:14:34.000Fabric's new, lower prices mean that significant savings that you're going to earn over other providers with great policies like a million dollars in coverage for less than a dollar a day.
00:15:26.420Fabric insurance agency policies issued by Vantus Life, not available in New York and Montana.
00:15:30.020Prices subject to underwriting and health questions.
00:15:33.060Okay, before we get to the headlines, I have to mention again our new piece of merchandise in the store that I'm very, very proud of and excited about.
00:15:40.300And I should be wearing it right now, honestly.
00:15:43.280The My Truth is Out There alien shirt, so you can show your support for the space alien community.
00:15:49.320There's a lot of great stuff at the Matt Walsh store if you go to dailywire.com slash shop.
00:15:53.600And I was looking through just right before we went on the air.
00:15:56.280There are things here that I didn't even know we had.
00:15:58.500I mean, I know we have like the virtue signal patch, which if you don't have that yet, you got to get that to express your, to show your virtue to the world.
00:16:04.820And it's a good way of just staying on top of things.
00:16:07.300If you have the virtue signal patch, then you don't have to rotate between, you know, the Ukraine flag and the pride flag and the current thing.
00:16:13.600You just got it all covered with the virtue signal patch or the virtue signal t-shirt, which we have.
00:16:17.860We, of course, have the chef self pronouns apron so that you can let people know your pronouns while you're cooking out on the grill.
00:16:25.860And then I didn't even realize we had now officially the sweet baby baby onesies.
00:16:30.600So if you have, if you're welcoming a new bundle of joy into the world and you want to indoctrinate them as you should into the sweet baby gang cult early on, you can get them this onesie.
00:16:46.000Congresswoman Alexandra Queza-Cortez was confronted on the steps of the Capitol in what I'm sure she would describe and maybe has already described as an act of insurrection.
00:16:57.600She was confronted by Alex Stein, who is a conservative, a comedian, a, you know, social media personality.
00:17:04.140We've played a number of his videos on this show before.
00:17:06.720This confrontation, though, was a little bit, it was a little bit unique.
00:17:11.620It's not what you usually see, but let's, let's watch it.
00:37:52.820And as far as sexual orientation goes, you know, as, as the, the, the transgender agenda, gender ideology runs roughshod over, um, over what was in the past, the leftist agenda, especially as it, as it pertains to feminists, like we've talked about this week.
00:38:09.020It also does this with, um, you know, with so-called gay rights because like sexual orientation doesn't even really mean anything anymore.
00:38:28.560This is one of the, this has always been, or at least when I say always for the last, you know, a couple of decades, anyway, on the left, this has been one of the number one, most sacrosanct creeds that your, your sexual orientation is set in stone.
00:38:45.840You're born with it and it can never change.
00:38:48.360Um, well, um, if that's the case, then you can also, it's, it, it, it's also impossible to change your gender because if you can change your gender, that means that you can change your sexual orientation.
00:38:58.860You know, if you're a gay man attracted to men, because that means you're a gay man and then you become a woman and you're still attracted to men.
00:39:05.620Well, that means your sexual orientation has changed.
00:39:07.820So that's just yet another inherent contradiction created by gender ideology.
00:39:12.160Um, but so, so what is Amazon doing here?
00:39:15.600Um, they, they realize they can't justify banning the book because the, that's what they would like to do.
00:39:24.900They'd like to ban the book outright and say, you can't sell this book on our site, but, uh, they do have their own guidelines, which they've published and everybody can read.
00:39:32.520And, and they realize that according to those guidelines, the book doesn't violate any of them.
00:39:38.140Now, of course it doesn't make sense that, you know, if, that the book is so hateful that, and violates policies.
00:39:46.300And so you can ban advertising, but you also, but you still, but you, but by, according to your own guidelines, you can't just ban the book outright.
00:39:52.780Like if it, if it, if it violates the standards for advertising, then you think it also violates the standards for being sold on the site at all.
00:40:01.400So that doesn't make a lot of sense, but, um, I think this is just kind of the compromise Amazon has come up with, especially to appease their own woke employees who, uh, infamously have been, you know, literally crying about the books that I've published on their site.
00:40:16.720Amazon realizes that they can suppress and censor the book in certain ways without drawing a lot of backlash and negative publicity.
00:40:27.080So they're going, they're going as far as they can without making it into a story.
00:40:31.820And they realize that censoring the ads for whatever reason, isn't a story.
00:40:46.740One other thing to mention before we get to the comment section, um, it's from the New York post, a very important report.
00:40:54.300It says a woman in a now viral TikTok video climbed through a McDonald's drive-thru window to get to the kitchen so she could cook the food herself.
00:41:03.040The clip posted by the user Greer Greer said that, um, because the fast food company, the fast food employees ran out of gloves, they could not take any more orders due to sanitary concerns.
00:41:14.240So then she just asked if she could climb through the window and make the food herself.
00:43:10.060There's this whole gaggle of employees just kind of standing around, still on the clock, but telling everyone, oh, you can't make your food.
00:43:20.580I swear, people will come up with any excuse these days to not work.
00:43:25.580I told you about the story from Chipotle going in and being told that they can only take online orders, but they can't listen to my order.
00:43:37.840They can't listen with their ears as I speak the order.
00:43:40.240But if I were to type it into my phone, then they can take it.
00:43:43.320Just finding another excuse not to work.
00:43:44.820I'm expecting to go to Burger King one of these days and be told that they aren't serving anymore because all of the employees simultaneously stub their toes and they're taking a week off to recover from the damage.
00:44:02.380Daily cancellations are the law and order of the day.
00:44:07.380You know, every day I report the ludicrous, just insane stuff the left is doing to our children.
00:44:17.940Drag queen story hours, underage and irreversible sex changes, even grooming that goes on.
00:44:23.400We here at the Matt Wall Show humbly inform the nation of the left's agenda every day.
00:44:27.700But I'm thrilled to report that there's an organization taking action to finally push back on all of this woke madness and filth.
00:44:35.100That's the American Principles Project.
00:44:36.720It's a grassroots political advocacy group that is mobilizing the grassroots and pressuring states and the federal government to stop LGBT insanity.
00:44:45.060You can sign up today at SaveTheFamily.app.
00:45:03.040The work of the American Principles Project has resulted in 18 states banning men from women's sports.
00:45:07.580It's even pressured so-called conservatives in Congress to get off their butts and pass pro-family platform planks.
00:45:12.400They also target some of the worst pro-grooming Democrats in the country, working to defeat really sinister creeps like Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer, self-proclaimed Georgia Governor Stacey Abrams.
00:45:24.280For the same price, look, as a Disney Plus subscription, you can join the American Principles Project and directly fight back against the left's grooming agenda.
00:45:31.920I highly encourage all of my listeners to visit SaveTheFamily.app.
00:45:46.960Related to the guy who lost friends over your movie, my childhood best friend of 15 years just decided she can't talk to me unless I change my views on abortion and LGBT.
00:45:56.200This doesn't make much sense to me because we hardly ever talk about politics when together.
00:46:05.180Yeah, I mean, there are definitely plenty of people who don't talk to me anymore in recent years.
00:46:11.980And then there was another, just over the years as I've been doing this for a living, just people have dropped off and have dropped off of the tree here.
00:46:20.720And then, especially over the last month, there's been even more silence.
00:47:04.360Sometimes when he talks to us in the gang and he's being all down to earth, all real and common sense sounding, it feels like sitting down to a dad lesson to educate and prepare his kids for dealing with the world.
00:47:15.380You know, it is a very strange thing because when I first had kids, I felt very out of place.
00:47:21.600And I think every parent goes through this.
00:47:23.780When you first have kids, I feel very out of place.
00:47:27.020You know, referring to myself as a dad was just weird.
00:47:30.720My first Father's Day, I felt like an imposter.
00:47:53.540Game Time says, the much funnier approach to the J.K. Rowling thing would be to apologize for her and praise the fact that she's a staunch ally and is only saying these things to deflect criticism.
00:49:00.960Pretty sure I just heard recently a woman got an STD or something while having sex in a vehicle and sued the manufacturer and won.
00:49:07.180It's insane, but it happens for some reason.
00:49:11.440Actually, I have to fact check your fact check here, Midna.
00:49:14.860You need to do your research into STD and car related issues.
00:49:20.560The woman did not sue the car manufacturer.
00:49:22.880She actually went after the insurance company.
00:49:25.060The insurance company that covered the car in which she had her sexual interaction.
00:49:34.420So she had sex with a guy in his, I think it was his Hyundai, of course, and she contracted genital warts.
00:49:42.220And then she filed a claim saying that his car insurance company, Geico, should compensate her for it.
00:49:48.440And I think the court actually sided with her to the tune of like $5 million.
00:49:53.520So this could lead to a very interesting ad campaign with the Geico Gecko.
00:49:58.940You know, because this is a certain customer base.
00:50:01.820If you're, you know, the kind of person who has sex in the vehicle and you're going to pass on various STDs, then we've got you covered.
00:50:09.700We need the Geico Gecko out there to explain that to us.
00:50:13.780Although the whole thing is, of course, it's ridiculous on a number of levels.
00:50:16.720I don't think I need to explain why, starting with the fact that any rational person would know ahead of time that you're going to get genital warts if you have sex with a guy in a Hyundai.
00:50:59.340So if you still haven't heard, maybe because you were listening to Jill Biden comparing Latinos to tacos, then maybe you were distracted from the fact that Dr. Jordan Peterson has joined us at Daily Wire Plus.
00:51:11.500Right now, just $8 a month gives you access to the full sum of Jordan Peterson's outrageous intellect, including Dragons, Monsters, and Men, a four-part miniseries on men, masculinity, and the pursuit of greatness.
00:51:26.860Not to mention everything else we're doing with Daily Wire Plus to unwoke the country through fearless documentaries, gripping movies, and coming soon, we're also going to have kids' content.
00:51:50.540So I think I know which one you should choose.
00:51:52.460Now let's get to our daily cancellation.
00:51:58.180Today for our daily cancellation, I'm going to harp on something seemingly very small and petty.
00:52:04.420That is, after all, what this segment was always supposed to be about, even if I have on occasion betrayed the spirit of the daily cancellation by talking about topics that actually matter.
00:52:53.700But even if I'm not a BMW customer, I still am annoyed by this news.
00:52:58.960As reported by the Daily Wire, it says,
00:53:00.800BMW owners are furious that on top of the cost of the luxury car, they'll be required to pay a monthly subscription fee to use features like the heated seats.
00:53:07.260Per the New York Post, subscription plans recently rolled out in the UK, Germany, South Korea, and in several other markets, which include fees for premium features.
00:53:14.900BMW owners will be forced to pay the equivalent of $18 a month to use heated front seats in their cars.
00:53:20.280Owners also have the option to pay $180 per year to use their heated seats, or they can opt to spend $300 for a three-year subscription or $415 for unlimited access, the publication reported.
00:53:31.420Quote, front seat heating gets things nice and cozy in no time, BMW's UK site says.
00:53:36.620Activation after purchase is quick and easy.
00:53:39.060Heated seats aren't the only premium feature with an upcharge.
00:53:41.380In some markets, owners will pay $12 per month to use their heated steering wheels.
00:53:45.940It'll cost $42 per month for adaptive cruise control,
00:53:48.720The feature that switches off high beams automatically when another car appears also costs $12 monthly.
00:53:54.600Anyone who wants to connect their iPhones to their cars through Apple's CarPlay feature will be charged $265.
00:54:01.760Now, this is not something that's confined only to BMWs in foreign countries.
00:54:06.520As an article this week in The Verge points out, cars today are packed full of software systems and computers,
00:54:12.700and this fact is being exploited more and more by the manufacturers.
00:54:16.140The Verge reports, quote, most of the subscription plans seem to be coming mainly from luxury automakers,
00:54:20.960which makes sense given that their customers are mostly rich and can more easily absorb an annual or monthly fee.
00:54:26.940But industry analysts have said that subscriptions are coming to mass market vehicles as mainstream automakers look for new revenue streams
00:54:32.720to help fund their enormously expensive plans to build vehicles that are electric, connected, and autonomous.
00:54:37.340Last year, General Motors said it earned over $2 billion in in-car subscription service revenue,
00:54:42.700a number of the company expects to grow to $25 billion by the end of the decade.
00:54:46.740GM had approximately 16 million vehicles on the road in the U.S.,
00:54:50.320about a quarter of which include features for which customers are paying subscriptions.
00:56:52.880We, we moved last year and we bought a bunch of new appliances and, um, you know, I didn't really need a washing machine with its own Twitter account.
00:57:41.000Another great advantage of the design, advantage for the, for the companies that make and sell this stuff anyway, certainly not for the consumers, is that the connect, the connectivity of all these things, um, the fact that every consumer product is now a device means that the brands can track us and they can monitor us and they can collect our information and sell the information.
00:58:00.400They can stay connected to us in ways that don't benefit us at all.
00:58:05.360They can monetize us long after the initial point of purchase.
00:58:09.860But here's the worst thing about all this stuff.
00:58:12.860The more the manufacturers can stay connected to and in control over the things that we ostensibly own.
00:58:20.600The more that ownership becomes subscription-based, the less ownership we actually experience.
00:58:29.320See, there's a, there's a war on ownership in our culture.
00:58:32.900The powers that be, they don't want you to actually possess and own anything.
