A bearded man wearing a plaid shirt was arrested last night for yelling at what he believed to be a UFO. Turns out it was his son's scooter. No worries, though. This show will go on whether you like it or not, with me, David Cohn, and we have much to cover. education is failing America. Young people and young men in particular are losing faith in the country's education system. They are opting out of college in record numbers. This trend has been ongoing for some time. Now it's come to a head. For me, this topic is personal. Both of my

parents were university professors. Academia put food on our table. I've witnessed firsthand the positive effects that a successful, a vibrant college can have on small tennis. and communities. But increasingly, the industry is weakening. The financial implications may have yet to be felt, but the writing is on the wall. For the first time in U.S. history, our sons will have less education than their fathers. That statement would have seemed unfathomable to grandfathers like mine, who sacrificed on a daily basis so that my parents could get college degrees. They did so because the return on investment was clear. Those degrees led to better jobs, which led to more money. For most college grads,

though, that is no longer the case. More and more universities have prioritized short-term profits over the quality of knowledge taught. They have favored left-wing political ideology over long-standing pursuits of truth. Here's one report from just a few days ago to set the stage. Now to our second story about who is going to college. Enrollment among young Americans has been declining over the past decade. That decrease mostly driven by fewer young men pursuing degrees. A Pew Research study finds there's about 1 million fewer young men now enrolled in college as compared to 2011. Last year, among high school graduates in the U.S., only 57% of men have enrolled in college.

That's compared to 65% of women. It's a trend that dates back nearly three decades. Every year since 1996, women have entered college at higher rates than men. The education system as a whole doesn't seem to be working quite as well for boys as it is for girls. The education gap is bigger now than it was back in 1972 when Title IX passed. What accounts for that? The main reason for that is that it's through the education system, girls are outperforming boys. So you can see it from the beginning, from kindergarten.

all the way through high school. And so if you look at, for example, high school GPA, which is a very good measure of success, take the top 10% of high school students, two thirds of them are girls. According to census data, more women than men have college degrees in this country now. More women are likely to graduate within four years than men.

Women make up 64% of pharmacy students. Women make up 56% of law school students. As of 2023, they make up more than 55% of students in the country's MD granting programs. In this 2015 study, using international data, researchers have determined that girls outperform boys in educational achievement in 70% of the countries they studied, regardless of the level of gender, political, economic, or social equality. Those didn't factor in whatsoever. Now, for some of these zero-sum percentages to be tilted in favor of women, that's not necessarily a bad thing.

We have an entire country of highly capable females. We need many of them to get degrees, develop skills, and assist in the workplace. This is not a negativity session on women going to college. As I said, both of my parents excelled in academia. My mother has a PhD. My wife has a high pressure career. Many of the department heads here at the Daily Wire running things are capable women. Some graduated from college.

Some didn't graduate from college. However, those who say it's a good sign. that more women are doing well in higher education must also admit it's a bad sign that more and more men are doing poorly. Or better yet, why don't we understand that living, fulfilling lives and building better families and communities is the ultimate goal, not simply filling up more classrooms and obtaining more degrees? Kansas City Chiefs kicker Harrison Bucker was chastised for making this point during his commencement speech at Benedictine College several weeks ago. So let's listen to this together.

For the ladies present today, congratulations on an amazing accomplishment. You should be proud of all that you have achieved to this point in your young lives. I want to speak directly to you briefly because I think it is you, the women, who have had the most diabolical lies told to you. How many of you are sitting here now about to cross this stage and are thinking about all the promotions and titles you are going to get in your career? Some of you may go on to lead successful careers in the world, but I would eventually I have entered a guest that the majority of you are most excited about your marriage and the children you will bring into this world.

I can tell you that my beautiful wife, Isabel, would be the first to say that her life truly started when she began living her vocation as a wife and as a mother. I'm on this stage today and able to be the man I am because I have a wife who leans into her vocation. I'm beyond blessed with the many talents God has given me, but it cannot be overstated that all of my own lives. that all of my success is made possible because a girl I met in band class back in middle school would convert to the faith, become my wife, and embrace one of the most important titles of all, Holmaker. This guy cares so much about his wife that he's tearing up during this speech. And this clip went viral for weeks with him being called a hateful bigot.

I mean, it's barely acceptable. It's barely acceptable to embrace me. masculine virtue in the NFL anymore, the National Football League. It's completely taboo at colleges across this country. But the experts at PBS have it all figured out, though. According to them, girls are performing better because they have higher GPAs. This is why I've said for years, we need new metrics for intelligence. We need new identifiers for capability. GPAs, SATs, IQs, give me one solid mechanic who can fix my car over this year's entire Harvard graduating class. I mean it. Harvard, once seen as the beacon for collegiate learning across the world,

now appears before the Supreme Court to defend enrollment discrimination against Asians. Those higher GPAs mentioned are merely a symptom to larger issues. So what are those issues? For starters, personality. Much of the Western world right now will have you believe there is no difference. whatsoever between men and women. So much so that one bearded flannel-wearing man had to traverse the entire planet asking the simple question, what is a woman? Dr. Jordan Peterson frequently cites this difference in personality when he speaks about agreeableness. Research shows that agreeable students tend to get better grades than their IQs would predict. I mean, intuitively, this makes sense.

If a student is on the borderline between passing and failing, teachers are more likely to pass the agreeable student and fail a disagreeable student. I can't help but think of the distinction between Howard Rourke and Peter Keating in the Fountainhead. If you haven't read it, you should. Rourke, the most steadfast character, the man who valued integrity above compromise, was expelled from school. While his classmate who copied all of Rourke's work, but was amiable, became the valedictorian. Another factor, and it shouldn't be shocking news, is boys do better with male teachers. Girls do better with female teachers. The problem is, women make up 89% of elementary school teachers.

So many young boys get a slow start. Young boys without fathers get an even slower start. While we're on grade school, how about limiting recess? Eliminating this period may sound like a good idea to some who see it as a waste of time, but its removal has had significant ramifications on boys in particular. Researchers in the Journal of Medicine and Science in Sport found that, quote, the more time kids in first grade spent sitting and the less time they spent being physically active, the fewer gains they made in reading and math.

Among girls sitting for a long time without moving did not seem to have any effect on their ability to learn. I mean, anyone listening who has both sons and daughters understands this without needing statistics, right? I mean, my son is running around all over the place. What makes the topic of men performing poorly in higher learning so much more painful is that the outcome seems intentional. Western society is prioritizing feminine interest over masculine interest in every facet of our society. The goalpost are being shifted to ensure success for some members of our population, but not for others. In that, the pursuit of truth and knowledge and learning is lost. And let's be honest, that learning is not just lost for the men. Degrees all across this country are being watered down

for every student holding a diploma. So here are four solutions. Four solutions that we must implement to revitalize our higher education system to the standard American needs. First, Pointless curriculums that offer no marketplace value and provide no opportunity for students to monetize their learnings must be eliminated from public institutions. The University of South Carolina has a course called Lady Gaga in the sociology of fame. The sociology professor behind that course told the New York Times that, quote, the central objective is to unravel some of the sociological relevant dimensions of the fame of Lady Gaga. Gotcha. Cornell University, an Ivy League school, offers tree climbing. I'm not making this up. Cornell says the class will, quote, teach you how to get up into the canopy of any tree, to move around,

even to climb from one tree to another without touching the ground. That's called being six years old. Go shadow Tarzan for a day that shouldn't be offered at Cornell private school or not. Pitzer College offers social justice activism. Texas A&M offers paintball. Denison College offers queer studies. Santa Clara provides lectures about the physics of Star Trek. And George Mason has a course that's simply called zombies. I mean, personally have established yesterday that zombies are indeed real. I'd go with Michigan State's version, even though, look, I'm a Wolverine, they're Spartans, but their version that's called surviving becoming zombie apocalypse, disasters, catastrophes, and human behavior, that does sound a little bit more useful and interesting.

But maybe the worst offender is Bates College in Maine, which offers a class on Whoopi Goldberg called Making Whoopi Goldberg's Canon. Yep, there we go. If you wanted to make college as unappealing as possible to intelligent, and ambitious young men, these are the kinds of courses you'd offer. And since the information being taught can just as easily be learned over the internet, what's really being paid for, what's really being purchased is the degree. Only those are becoming more and more worthless to employers,

because they've started to understand that a college degree no longer guarantees that their new hire possesses a superior set of skills to the non-college grad. Second solution, we must substantially limit access to federally backed student loans. Colleges have been given every incentive to hike up tuition costs while offering no additional value, knowing that student loan forgiveness, which is really student loan redistribution, has taken all risk away from the borrowers. It's the taxpayers, you and me, who are forced to foot the bill. No money lender in this country would loan $100,000. to a 17-year-old kid.

Even if he had the most exceptional business plan, a jaw-dropping pitch deck. Mark Zuckerberg was getting turned down for pitching Facebook two decades ago. But that same 17-year-old can get $100,000 loan to study underwater basket weaving without so much as a single sentence explaining how he will monetize this knowledge

and pay back the loan. That's a problem. That's hurting America. Third, stop teaching. children that college degrees are essential for success. Of course, colleges don't want to hear that, but it's imperative for the rest of us to explain this to our children. Some kids need trade school. My brother studied aviation maintenance. He can fix airplane engines. I wish I could do that. It's a very important and in-demand skill. If he had only started earlier, we might not have planes falling from

the sky. For some people, it's important to start working right away, rather than taking what has become a four-year vacation, racking up debt along the way. There are interesting and lucrative jobs in the world that most people know nothing about. You don't have to get an accounting degree and become a consultant. That's why Mike Roe and his show Dirty Jobs is so important. He highlights the beaver relocators and caviar harvesters and fossil hunters and doomsday seed bankers. Jobs most of us haven't even heard of. Even when young people decide to go to college, it's important they understand that the most prestigious degrees don't ultimately determine success. As Dave Ramsey pointed out, roughly two-thirds of millionaires graduated from public state schools.

Only about 8% went to elite private colleges, and 12% of millionaires didn't go to college at all. Finally, it's past time to abolish diversity, equity, and inclusion and affirmative action initiatives that drive no meaningful diversity. Some states have already made this decision, but it needs to go nationwide. The kind of diversity that's important is diversity based on ability and thought and the geography of a person's origin in some instances, but not diversity based on immutable characteristics that people can't control. A young kid who shows exceptional promise of becoming a great engineer needs to have that opportunity, even though he may come from a low-income family and can't afford college.

Those types of scholarships are important, and they exist for good reason. I use myself as an example. I was able to attend the University of Michigan on an athletic scholarship. There's no way I could have met the academic requirements or afforded the out-of-state tuition to attend that school. But I could play football, at least to some degree. That's how I contributed. It's what I brought to the table a different skill set other than the other students, true diversity. And when we end the practice of accepting students based on their metaphysical makeup, despite their lack of readiness for that opportunity, dropout rates will go down significantly for those very students. If you really want to understand this concept to the fullest extent, I encourage you to read Heather McDonald's book,

The Diversity Delusion. It's poignant, prophetic. Miss McDonald is a brilliant thinker and writer. Bottom line, universities should not be four-year vacation centers where one explores how decadent and depraved he can be. Diplomas should not be meaningless pieces of paper that we obtain simply to hang on the wall so we appear smart to all those who enter our office. The goal isn't to hand out as many degrees as we can. The goal is to pass down from generation to generation, the most essential knowledge that we possess for the betterment of our lives, our families, and our future generations.

This was big news yesterday. I'm going to read this from the DailyWire.com. The Supreme Court issued a ruling on Monday that Donald Trump's claim of presidential immunity to shield himself from federal

prosecution is valid for official acts. That's a big point that's going to keep coming up here, unofficial acts versus official acts. It's in a partial victory for the former president. I guess because now the current president may be able to act with impunity and do whatever he wants. But the justices voted six to three along ideological lines in the decision and sent the case in which Trump pleaded not guilty to charges accusing him of unlawfully plotting to overturn the results of the 2020 election back to the lower D.C. court for further review. The president that says here, quote, the president is not above the law, the ruling said, but under our system of separated powers, the president may not be prosecuted for exercising

his core constitutional powers, and he is entitled to at least presumptive immunity from prosecution for his official acts. Because the ruling was released so late, this is the final day of the term. The Associated Press noted the justices reduced or possibly even eliminated the chances of a trial being held before the November election. Obviously, that is that significant. And the case may already be weakened by a prior ruling that found the Justice Department went too far with January 6-related obstruction charges. You think? Big win for our Constitution and democracy. This is Trump here. This is all caps, by the way. Big win for our Constitution and democracy, proud to be an American Trump exclusive.

exclaimed on truth social. The case now returns to the U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkin for determining what constitutes official acts. There we go. What, and I mean, that's what we all want to know, what constitutes official acts versus unofficial acts. Yet even some, yet even if some charges against Trump make it to the trial, the high court's ruling pose further complications for prosecutors. So any testimony or records of the president or his advisors, probing conduct immune from prosecution may not be admitted as evidence at trial. This is Chief Justice John Roberts here who wrote the majority opinion. Conservative Justice Amy Coney-Barrant concurred with most of the opinion, but disagreed with the restriction on introducing

protected conduct as evidence, saying there's no need to depart from familiar and time-tested procedure here. All three of the liberal justices opposed the ruling in her decision. Justice Sonia Sotomayor suggested the majority's reasoning would allow a president to get away with ordering a Navy's SEAL Team 6 to assassinate a political rival or organizing a military coup to stay in power or taking a bribe in exchange for a pardon. She says, with fear for our democracy, I dissent. I wonder, I wonder if she would fear for our democracy if we were able to add, let's say, 11 leftist justices to the Supreme Court. Would that endanger our democracy if we expanded the Supreme Court in that manner? Can we bring up what the president had to say

about this? I know he held a press conference yesterday. This decision today has continued the courts attacked in recent years on a wide range of long-established legal principles in our nation, from gutting voting rights and civil rights to taking away women's right to choose, to today's decision that undermines the rule of law of this nation. Undermines the rule of law attacks. Do you hear these words they get used? It's attacks. Who else? What other clips do we have in there for this? Do we have maybe Joy Reid's clip? All that matters is that you do not allow. the person back into office who will use this power that he's been given by this court,

this imperial court, to implement that agenda they wrote down and published because they know that no one will stop them except voters. It doesn't matter if Biden is old. It don't matter. It don't matter if he's old. What matters is that the other guy wants to be a king, and this court has said, yes, you are a king, and we are the king's hand. And together, the seven of us. Take it away. I'm tired of her. It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter if Joe Biden is old. The other guy wants to be a king. Never mind the first person you mentioned trying to throw the other guy in jail. But anyway, I digress. Big story here. Big news. We'll stay on top of that and keep you posted. Let's go to the next story here. A little bit of a transition, pun intended. A North Witch woman jailed for cocaine-fueled sex with a dog. I kid you know. This story was presented to me. I had to read it twice to understand that it was even possible. This says here, a woman has been jailed. Okay, can we bring up the picture of this woman, by the way? Do we have a photo of her?

There we go. Yes, brave, beautiful woman. Don't you dare. Don't you dare say that that's not a woman. Facial, stubble, notwithstanding. A woman has been jailed after she admitted to having cocaine-fueled sex. with a dog and possessing images of the disgusting incident. So it wasn't enough, but there were photos taken, and she has those now. This is Claire Goodyear of Spencer Street in Northwich was described as manipulative and deceitful by a probation officer. Judge Stephen Everett called her behavior and taking part in the act with other adults. There were other adults, there were other adults that partook, actually, as despicable, disgusting and depressing. as he jailed her for 20 months.

Sir, I don't know if you've heard, but you cannot jail her. You cannot jail someone when they were born in the wrong body. That gives them immunity against you being a judge or throwing them in jail. The 60-year-old has twice been convicted of possessing indecent images of children in 2006 and 2009, with the judge admitting she had been astonishingly lucky to avoid previous spells behind bars after receiving suspended sentences. I read that sentence correctly. So indecent images of children and you get lucky, but have sex with a dog and you're

out of here, mister, or I met ma'am, excuse me, please don't cancel me. I meant ma'am. The police have been called to her home on July 19, 2019, 2019 to carry out a routine check due to her being on the sex offenders registry for life, officers took a laptop which contained evidence that Gutier had searched the internet for bestiality content, and when a full analysis of the equipment was finally completed some two years later, it emerged hidden in folders contained 31 indecent images of Goodyear taking part in a sex act with dogs with other people. Good thing that it only took two years to analyze the bestiality content any longer, and we'd really be in trouble.

She said she had fantasized about this for a number of years, and after talking about it with people in the Northwich area, was put into touch with others so that they could all get together. Sounds like a lovely community. I heard home prices there are out of control right now. She traveled down there in December 2018 and took part in the act. At the time of her arrest on June 17th this year, police also found another pen drive in her handbag containing the same images and about 3.5 grams of cocaine. Simon Mills defending her said, his client has always been frank and honest, okay, frank and honest with the probation service and although accepting the behavior had been depraved and disgusting, called on the judge to consider another suspended sentence. I don't think the judge understands, as I said, that he can't just, you can't just jail someone who was born in the wrong body. That is a get out of jail free card. They can do whatever they want. Also, where's PETA on this? I did find an interesting idea.

Where's PETA? Like, PETA doesn't want me to eat a hamburger. God forbid, I light up my big green egg on 4th of July and smoke these ribs that are about to be fantastic. Pita will get very angry with me if I eat so much as a cheeseburger. But I've heard nothing from PETA here. Do they not care about this dog? I mean, forget the children, of course, the children that she, that she, that brave and beautiful woman had pictures of, forget them. But can PETA at least step in and condemn the sex with a dog? Anyway, I'm not making that one up. Let's move on to the next one. French feminists. French feminists are protesting topless. And I have to say, this finally is. a protest that I can get behind. I really can't. Do we have video of this? Yeah. Man, that police officer, he didn't

know what to do. Finally a protest that I can get behind. The Eiffel Tower protest, topless women, challenge authoritarianism with anti-fascist slogans. Oh, man, thank goodness. In a striking protest near the Eiffel Tower, topless female protesters took to the streets, continuing the proud traditions of the French resistance. The proud traditions of the French resistance. Not the Renaissance.

You know, the resistance. Just no guillotine's out there, I guess. the women adorned with anti-fascist slogans on their bodies, boldly voiced their opposition to authoritarianism, calling for action and raising awareness about rising tensions. I won't make a joke about rising tensions. The protests featured theatrical elements with some participants carrying buckets and symbolically sweeping the streets. I want to know, like, did they actually clean the streets, though?

Because if so, that's funny. If they just pretended to clean it and it's just like a performative element. But like if they actually clean the streets, what's wrong with this? They're topless. The streets are now cleaner. Like, we should do this more often. This is where like America, we're falling behind. I was talking the other day about America is losing in football to Canada.

Forget hockey. We're finally beating them in that. We're losing in football. American feminist, we're losing. We're out here withholding sex as PETA members. The French are going topless. Like this is, we're getting left behind in the, in the dust here. Video footage shared on social media highlighted the dramatic nature of the demonstration,

showcasing the woman's determination to challenge fascist ideologies in public in a provocative manner. As they marched and chanted anti-fascist slogans, the protesters drew significant attention. I bet they did embodying the spirit of defiance and freedom. This protest not only highlights the increasing concerns over the rise of authoritarianism, but also highlights the enduring legacy of resistance in France. Y'all keep resisting, baby, I believe in you. The demonstrators' courage and creativity, courage and creativity in delivering their message reflects the unyielding resolve to stand against fascism and promote liberty and justice.

I don't think that's what liberty and justice is all about. I don't think that's what our founding fathers had in mind and even in France. Y'all should take that into consideration. All right, next one up here. All right, we got to get to the ESPN article. I'm going to pull this article up here. I just heard about this this morning, blew me away. I thought you might find it interesting. This is from dailywired.com. ESPN defends honoring print. Prince Harry with the Pat Tillman Award. Already, I don't like where this is going. It's already unacceptable.

ESPN defended its decision to honor Prince Harry with the Pat Tillman Award for service amid criticism from the mother of the late NFL star and US Army Ranger after whom the accolade is named. A statement to TMZ from the Sports Network read ESPN with the support of the Tillman Foundation is honoring Prince Harry, Duke of Sussex. Specifically for the work of the Invictus Games Foundation as it celebrates its 10th year promoting healing through the world of sport for military service members and veterans around the world. While we understand, not everyone will agree with all honorees selected for any award, the Invictus Games Foundation does incredible work in ESPN believes this is a cause worthy of celebrating. The statement was released after Tillman's mother, Mary, reacted to the news that the member of

the royal family would be recognized at this month's SP Awards, named after her son. That's the NFL safety turned Army Ranger who enlisted after the September 11th terrorist attacks and was killed by friendly fire in 2004. Again, if you, I know not a lot of sports fans in the Sweet Baby Gang. If you don't know who Pat Tillman is, this guy stopped playing professional football so that he could go become an Army Ranger after the September 11th terrorist attacks. Yes, he needs an award named after him. No, Prince Harry should never get that award. Quite frankly, I don't think, shouldn't it be a requirement that only an American can get this award? Am I crazy in thinking that? The mother went on and said, I am shocked as to why ESPN would select such a controversial and

divisive individual to receive this award. There are recipients that are far more fitting. There are individuals working in the veteran community that are doing tremendous things to assist veterans. These individuals do not have the money, resources, connections, or privilege that Prince Harry has. I feel that those types of individuals should be recognized. Again, that's Pat Tillman's mother saying that. Following the news, a petition has started. Now we're getting somewhere. A petition started against the network to make another decision, awarding this honor to someone who does not reflect the award's intent, diminishes its value, and disrespect Tillman's memory. I agree. I want to sign this petition. I'm going to do it right

after this show. Pat McAfee of ESPN accused his own network of trying to upset people by making the decision. He said, it's going to Prince Harry, who I don't even think is as a prince anymore, right? he didn't, he said, don't call me that. See, why does ESPN do this? I mean, look, I don't listen to Pat McAfee that often, but he is right on that one. We need to establish that the Pat Tillman Award can only go to an American, and I agree with Pat Tillman's mother, that, you know, there are more fitting recipients for this. So let's sign that petition. All right, last one up here. We're going to have some fun. Here's why we're going to have some fun because Dr. Jill Biden, Dr. Jill Biden has posted on social media that she needs a social media platforms manager. Okay, the job description has gone up

with an application to be filled out. Here's the job description. Dr. Jill Biden's social media platforms manager. This is in Wilmington, Delaware. Dr. Biden's social media platforms manager will report to Dr. Biden's digital director and be expected to write within an established organizational identity for multiple social media platforms and channels while strategizing how to further develop and expand Dr. Biden and the Biden Harris campaign's voice online. Key responsibility, write daily content, strategize, project manage, ensure materials are sufficiently accessible for users, help Dr. Jill Biden's digital creator, blah, blah, blah, preferred skills, experience working and writing. Check, I got that. Organizing. Ideally,

digital, I got that. Boom. Experience working on social media. Bam, I'm on there every day. Has the ability to work independently and on a team with the ability to prioritize multiple tasks.

Comfortable drafting platform-specific copy for multiple channels. Pay $65,000 to $85,000 a year. Man, you know what? That's a little bit low for me, but I have to do this. I have to apply for this job. So that's exactly what I'm going to do. I'm going on here right now. Apply for this job. job, and we're going to get started. Full name. Full name. I'm going to use the name. Someone,

someone called me, someone said I don't look as much like a David Cohn as a Daniel Crum. So I'm going to use Daniel Crum. This is how I'm going to apply it to be Jill Biden's social media writer. Pronouns. Bam. Love it. Second thing up. He him, she, her, they, them. Z, no, it's X, it's X, it's X, E and X-E-M. Is that one, X, X-M? Because then there's also Z-H-H-E-E-H-R, is Z-E-H-E-R. There's an E-Y-S-E-M, so E-E-M, her-H-R, F-A-E-E-R, and then there's a H-U-U-U. Who-hoo.

I kid you not. It's not just he, him, she, she, heard they then. This is the second, this is after my name, after Daniel Crum, the other ones are X-E-S-E-S-E-E-S-H-I-R, E-Y-S-E-E-Y-S-E-R-H-I-R-H-I-R, F-A-E-R, and Who-H-H-O. Look, I'm trying to get this job, so I'm going with Who-H-H-O-R-D. Daniel Crum, I, what could that possibly mean? What are you asking people to do in society when they interact with you? And you're like, I'm hoo-hoo. That's not even your name.

That's what your pronouns are. I wish they'd put adjectives on here. So I could just say, I want to be known as the awesome who-hoo. Email. We'll figure that out later. Links. Are you a current BFP employee? Does that hurt my chances or help my chance?

How would you contribute to building a diverse culture by hating white people? Describe a time when you had to overcome adversity. One time when I was young. A person didn't call me who-hoo. And I'm still recovering.

They didn't call me who-who. Are you willing and able to relocate to Wilmington? Yes. Additional information, cover letter, we'll get to that. Gender. I already did this. Hold on, gender. Our company values diversity to ensure that we comply with reporting requirements

and to learn more about how we can increase diversity in our candidate pool, we invite you to voluntarily provide demographic information in a confidential survey. I already filled out that I was hoo-hoo. This one's a drop-down menu, and now it's asking me, male, female, decline to self-identify. Well, I'm going to click to find it, but I'm going to write them. I need to write them in the comments thing that they don't have who-who-who under gender, and that is triggering. It's marginalizing my existence. Here we get to race. Hispanic or Latino,

white, non-Hispanic, not checking that one, black or African-American, native Hawaiian, Asian, American Indian, two or more races declined to self-identify. I already put who-who. I'll put two or more races. I've got, look, you go back far enough, man, there's something in there. Veteran status. I can't lie on this one. I am not a veteran. optional diversity survey. I kid you not, this thing goes and goes and goes. We invite you to complete this optional survey to help us evaluate our diversity and inclusion efforts. This is the first lady.

the third time I've been asked about gender and pronouns on this on this application right here. She her, he, his, they, them, my pronouns are not listed. I do not wish to identify. Again, at the very top of this thing, I already put who-who, and that's not an option on either one of the second gender. I can't. I'm just going to put, my pronouns are not listed because I already said, who-hoo. What is your gender identity? This is the next one. This is the next one. Female, male, transgender, non-binary, non-conforming. I do not wish to identify. I'm going to put non-conforming. I go against the grain. Saucy. Outside the box. What is your race ethnicity? I just filled this out. This was just above this. White Caucasian, Hispanic, Latino, black or African, Asian, Native Hawaiian, Indigenous peoples, Middle Eastern, some other race. I do not wish to identify. I got to put some other race now to keep with the Daniel Crumb character. Do you identify as a member of the LGBTQIA plus community?

Sean, did y'all make this just so that I would fill this out and this isn't a real thing? This is a real website. I went to it and I'm filling it out. This is the fourth time I've already been asked about how I'd, yes, I'm a member of the transgender of the LGBT. I already put hoo-hoo as what I identify. Do you identify as a member of the disabled community? Look, I apologize to anyone out there, but I'm going to click yes on this just to, I got to get hired. Are you a veteran? No, I won't do that. All right, submit application.

All right, your application has been submitted. I don't know. We'll see. We'll see what happens. Maybe I'll get hired. Maybe I will finally be moving up in the world as Daniel Krum to work for the first lady. Boom. Deal with that. Man, if I don't get hired, I hope I don't get fired here.

Now let's get to our daily cancellation. The counterproductive commotion of crazed climate activist has, for quite some time now, warranted cancellation. So today I do my duty. Last year, a guy named Shaiak, Mukha, Muha, look, I'm going to call you Little Shayshay. That's what you're going to get here. Was arrested after interrupting the U.S. Open tennis major in Queens, New York. This was a relatively long delay.

It lasted about an hour. The point of Little Shay-Shea's stunt was apparently to raise awareness for, yes, climate change. The irony, of course, is that by traveling to the United States from, from India, where he grew up, Little Sheeshay probably emitted a few tons of those dreaded carbon emissions. Thus, not only defeating his climate protection purpose, but actively polluting the air himself, that is unacceptable. Needless to say, though, annoying a bunch of spectators at a tennis match did not, in fact, affect the climate in any way. The Earth's rotation has continued. But Little Shea Shea was not deterred. He's the little engine that could. So late last month,

he was back at it again, along with other members of the group Extinction Rebellion. They crashed the 18th hole at the Travelers Championship tournament in Connecticut, peppering the course with smoke bombs. I kid you not, let's take a look together. Look at this guy. Look at this guy. He's protecting the environment. That guy cares about the environment.

That's why he's running around with a smoke bomb. Look at this one. Oh, yes. Form tackle. Sign him up, coach. Sign him up. One of them kicked the flower pot down here at the end. That's not good for the environment. Look at this. USA, USA. All that to the chance of USA and people say America is finished. I've never felt more hopeful in my life. In case you can't read the shirts those trespassers were wearing. they say, quote, no golf on a dead planet. First off, as far as protest T-shirts go, I have to say this one ranks among the dumbest. The point of golf is to hit a ball with a stick. Men will find a way to do that anywhere in the solar system. Also, why are you shooting red smoke in the air?

Heathens. How dare you? You'll never be able to convince me that that's healthy, that that's a healthy byproduct for our environment. just letting off all this red smoke in the air. You just made the air, my children breathe less safe. But more importantly, why are these Arkham Asylum patients protesting climate change at a golf course? You're targeting the single most eco-friendly sport imaginable. The platform you're trespassing on right now, causing a scene, is in fact called the green. If they revolted against NASCAR, I could understand gasoline and concrete, cars going round and around in circles. That makes more sense, but you never see them protest NASCAR.

Why? Because country folks who love racing, they don't play like that. There's not going to be any look the other way while the security card comes in and form tackles and handles the matter. These lunatics wouldn't even make it to the track before Uncle Billy goes full Bobby Bouchet with a tackle. So instead, these self-centered dramatists stick to golf and to tennis and to whatever it is, this is.

This is the world snooker championship. Snooker is apparently a form of billiards. I don't know. I shoot pool like a normal person, but let's watch it together. Quite know what that was for. Look at this guy. Look at this. You did something, man. Yeah, you really did something. You tell that mean ocean, Todd. All I know is that nothing of substance is being accomplished right there. This is childish behavior masquerading around as some sort of braids. activism. How can someone possibly walk away from an act like this and think, I did good work here today? I helped Earth. No, no. McKenna and Jonesy, can y'all bring up one that's not a

sporting event, please? I need an environment this sweet baby gang actually recognizes before they become the crybaby gang, please. Yes, Stonehenge. This is the one I want. Stonehenge, please. Here we go. Play this one. Excema is unpredictable. but you can flare less with ebbglis, a once-monthly treatment for moderate to severe eczema. After an initial four-month- or longer dosing phase, about four in 10 people taking ebbglis, achieved itch relief and clear or almost clear skin at 16 weeks,

and most of those people maintain skin that's still more clear at one year with monthly dosing. Emblis, Lebrichizumab, LBKZ, a 250 milligram per 2-millimeter injection is a prescription medicine used to treat adults and children 12 years of age and older who weigh at least 88 pounds or 40 kilograms with moderate to severe eczema, also called atopic dermatitis, is not well controlled with prescription therapies used on the skin or topicals or who cannot use topical topical corticosteroids. Don't use if you're allergic to ebbglis. Allergic reactions

can occur that can be severe. Eye problems can occur. Tell your doctor if you have new or worsening eye problems. You should not receive a live vaccine when treated with ebbglis. Before starting Epglis, tell your doctor if you have a parasitic infection. Ask your doctor about ebbglis and visit ebbglis.lis.com or call 1800 LilyRX or 100 100 545-9979. Well, today is one of the most important days in the calendar for Stone Tenge, which you can see right behind me because it is the summer solstice when the sun aligns with the stones with celebrations starting tonight.

It is open to the public today, but yesterday it was quite shocking to see those climate activists spray orange powder on some of the stones. This morning, one of Britain's most famous historical sites covered in orange pink. Watch as two climate activists run up to the ancient stones at Stonehenge, spraying fire extinguishes containing orange powder, vandalizing the 5,000-year-old monument. Other visitors rushing to try to stop them. Officers arriving on the scene, arresting the pair on suspicion of damaging the ancient monument. On suspicion, you tell that mean ocean.

I must dock these activists' creativity points, though. They're repeating the same schick over. over and over with this orange paint powder. There's no way that's good for the environment, you're championing, okay? Also, from what I understand, Stonehenge is fairly far from civilization, at least 80 miles or so from London,

which I really don't like making assumptions, but man, this group, they just, they really strike me as Londoners. Call it a hunch. They don't really give off that small town vibe. You know, anyway, point being, how did they get there? No way they walked.

There's no way that they walked to Stonehenge. They drove cars, probably coordinated the disgraceful act with cell phones, and more likely than not, they drove further out of their way, drove further than necessary to hit the nearest Starbucks. Y'all aren't special, okay? You're not better than anyone else. You just want attention. Run the Van Gogh Soup Throers clip, please.

Yeah. This checks out. The activist from Just Stop Oil, known for their high-profile protests, previously making headlines for throwing tomato soup on Van Gogh's Sunflowers in 2022, demanding the incoming British government end fossil fuel usage by 2030. Hmm, pink hair, greasy, that checks out. If you told me this story with no video evidence, that's exactly who I would have a picture did this. I've decided these nuts are among the top three most annoying types of people in the world. I mean, if I had to rank order the most irritating,

infuriating, insufferable people. Number one would be, like, number one would be guys who make bets with their friends, and then when they lose, they don't honor said bet. Like, if you, if you join, like, a fantasy football league and you came in, like, last place and didn't do your punishment, you're the most annoying type of person. Number two, people who ride up my bumper as close as they can on the road. Anyone who does that or worse yet, anyone who tells his friends he's proud of it, makes a whole rules of the road and blames the front car for going too slow. That guy is the second worst. And by the way, I just slowed down 15 miles an hour. How do you like that? But third worst are these dunces. That's it. That's the list. Now, I could spend all afternoon

going through more examples. In just the past year of these simpletons, making scenes all over the globe. Pull up the U.S. Constitution one. Play the U.S. Constitution. Here we go. Is this in the rotunda? Again with the powder. We will not be held to allow to laws in which we have no voice or representation. This country's founded on the conditions that all men are created for pretty equally and down. We have too much time on our hands. Too much time. We're going to all people to help all these rights, not just wealthy white men.

We all deserve clean air, water, food, and a livable climate. You don't go out looking for a job. like that, do you? This one is unacceptable. Stonehenge will be fine. This is the Bill of Rights. Nicholas Cage didn't steal this document to keep that other dude from stealing it so you could come out here and express your childhood trauma. Here we are days away from the 4th of July, and these communists want to throw powder on the words of Thomas Jefferson. What did, what did Vincent say in Pulp Fiction? It would have been worth them doing it if I could have just caught them doing it. How about the ones who glued themselves?

to that runway in Germany. Do we have that one? Let's watch it. At least this one you're trying to stop airplanes from taking off. Like I can get there logically with what you're trying to do, gluing yourself there. Again, it's with this one though, like this is getting to the point. Oh, here we go. That's a whole traffic like that. The right thing to do. The right thing to do. Yeah.

That's it. Good. Take that one away. He's speaking Sputnik. I don't know what's going on. But what's going on here is that this is getting to the point where I think there's a serious possibility that these people are unknowingly bankrolled by big oil companies to make environmentalists look crazy. That seems more plausible than someone thinking that this works. I mean, the one guy watching said it seems a bit drastic, but he concludes that cutting through an airport security fence and gluing yourself to an active runway, is the right thing to do. This sums up exactly how the climate crazies have gotten completely out of control. They seem to think that just because they're passionate about something, that gives them some special claim to act out in furtherance of their agenda. And weak people, weak people have enabled them. The more encouragement they get, the more they'll raise the stakes. All right, God forbid they come disrupt the hot dog eating contest this week. I can't abide that. annoying aspect is not even the events getting disrupted. It's this air of moral superiority that comes from drama queens who are actively hurting their own cause, essentially telling the rest of us,

how dare you not care about our planet enough to throw macaroni at the Mona Lisa? You don't even love the earth enough to epoxy glue your hand to an MBA floor? How selfish are you? If this is the best messaging you can muster, then your cause either isn't worthy. or you're a terrible marketer. I truly believe we have to do a better job of protecting our habitat, okay, cleaning up our communities. We've gotten way too lax across the world in America. Our streets are oftentimes filthy, roads are trashed. We need to do better. Guess what? That starts with us. It doesn't start by high-fiving Greta Thumburg as she and Al Gore hop on a G6 to fly halfway around the world so they can tell everyone else how bad it is for planet Earth when I eat a steak.

no, it's not going to fly, pun intended. And behavior like this not only keeps me from wanting to associate with whatever it is you're advocating, but I now have to mock you in order to help you. You understand? By calling you out, I clearly care more for your well-being than anyone else has for you in your entire life. I care more about you than your own mother, clearly. Maybe that's part of the problem that we got going on here. But that's why today really was in a I'm just doing my duty. This segment is bigger than me. So as of this moment, commotion causing, attention-se-filled climate activists are today canceled. That'll do it today for the Matt Walsh show. I am David Cohn. If you like anything you heard today, go ahead over to social media.

Follow me at David Adam Cohn. That's on X, Instagram, all social media platforms. If you hated anything you heard, send it to all your friends just to see if they agree or not. On behalf of Matt Walsh and all of the team here, have a blessed day.
