Today on the Matt Wall Show, an NBC news anchor says on the air that he doesn't care about being fair or hearing both sides. I actually agree with him on that point, and I feel much the same way. And I'll explain why. Also, five headlines, including CNN's claim that there is no way to determine, no way at all, the sex of a baby at birth. And a school district took Thomas Jefferson's name off of one of their schools, but they're having trouble finding a new name. Apparently, everyone in history, even very recent history, is problematic. Who knew? Plus, Joe Biden butchers the Spanish language while standing in front of a very nice. Nazi-esque flag. And our daily cancellation, the woke mob finally comes for the office. We knew it was going to happen. Now's the time. We'll deal with that today and much more on the Matt Walls show. Now, I've always been clear that I don't care about tolerance, fairness, diversity, equality. Well, don't care is the wrong way of putting it. I should say that I actively oppose those things, oppose them in how they're interpreted and applied in modern society. Tolerance can be fine, but it depends on what you're tolerating. There are intolerable things, many intolerable things,

which should not be tolerated. There are also intolerable people and quite a few of them walking around. Now, even if you are tolerating a tolerable thing, you don't deserve credit for it. There's no courage involved in simply tolerating something. I can tolerate stuff from my couch. I can lay on my couch and tolerate everything. I can tolerate many things while sitting at the beach. As long as I'm not actively opposing something or someone, then I'm tolerating it by definition. Why should I get credit for that? If I call myself a tolerant person, all I'm saying is that I don't actively oppose very many things. Another term for that is push over. See also weak, cowardly, lazy. Diversity can also be fine, but again, it depends entirely in the context. What sort of

diversity are we talking about? And is this diversity for its own sake? Diversity for its own sake, that is diversity that's achieved by ignoring things like merit and skill is bad. Diversity that happens as an accidental byproduct of prioritizing merit and skill is fine. If you, for example, end up with a racially diverse fire department because you've hired people based on racial quotas without respect to their ability to actually do the job, then you've done a very bad thing and people will probably die because of you. if you end up with a racially diverse fire department because you hired the best people and it just so happens that the best people came in an eclectic mix of races, ethnicities, and sexual orientations, then you've done a fine thing. I mean, it's fine. Though personally, I don't much care if the fire department is all black or all white or comprised completely of transgender Polynesians. So long as they're all the best applicants based on merit and skill and will do the best job of saving the old lady from the burning house. That's all that matters.

What about equality? Equality under the law is very good, though more of a theory than a reality in this country. Some people are above the law, even though they shouldn't be, as we've seen BLM rioters, for instance. Spiritual equality, that is the recognition that we are all humans made in the image of God is also good. But equality in any other sense is bad. That's because equality doesn't exist in any other country. context. And so it must be created artificially. My neighbor and I both are supposed to be equally subject to the law. We both were created by God. But other than that, we're different, not equal,

not the same. One of us is smarter, better looking, more virtuous, more talented, et cetera, and so on. These differences should be acknowledged and they should lead to different outcomes. If they're not acknowledged and we're forced to have the same outcome in spite of them, then we're being stuffed into an artificial box and our individuality and thus our humanity is being denied. This is bad, which is why equality is bad most of the time. That brings us to fairness. Fairness, again, has a limited, positive application. There are situations where fairness must be emphasized, such as in a courtroom.

It is unfair to make Derek Chauvin stand trial in Minneapolis after the city has already admitted guilt by settling a lawsuit with George Floyd's family. that's unfair, that's bad. But outside of the courtroom and a few other contexts, attempts to be fair tend to lead ironically to even more unfairness. And this is all a very long way of saying that I agree partially with NBC news anchor Lester Holt, who turned some heads this week when he gave a little soliloquy on air where he spoke out against fairness. Here's what he said. The unprecedented attacks on the press in this period, I'm sure, will fill plenty of books and be studying. in classrooms, maybe even here. But I have a few early observations I'll share about where this moment brings us and what we can learn. Number one is, I think it's become clearer that fairness is overrated.

Well, before you run off and tweet that headline, let me explain a bit. The idea that we should always give two sides, equal weight and merit, does not reflect the world we find ourselves in. That the sun sets in the west is a fact, and he constantly. Contrary view does not deserve our time or attention. Now, I know recent events assure that you won't have to look far to find more current and relevant examples. I think you get my point. Decisions to not give unsupported arguments equal time are not a dereliction of journalistic responsibility or some kind of agenda. In fact, it's just the opposite.

Providing an open platform for misinformation, for anyone to come say whatever they want, especially when issues of public health and safety are at stake can be quite dangerous. dangerous. Our duty is to be fair to the truth. Holding those in power accountable is at the core of our function and responsibility. We need to hear our leaders' views, their policies, and reasoning. It's really important, but we have to stand ready to push back and call out falsehoods. Now, he sustained plenty of criticism from the right for saying this, but I agree with the general point he's making. I don't agree with the way that he will apply and is applying and as applied, along with all the rest of the left-wing media, this idea, you know, when he talks

about not giving equal fair time to unsupported ridiculous ideas and claims, what he means, obviously, is that he doesn't think he should give fair time to any idea or claim that originates from anyone on the right. That's what he's saying without saying it. What he's doing here is giving himself and his profession an excuse to be dishonestly biased against conservatives. Obviously, that's his point and I'm well aware of that. However, the basic idea is correct. Not all ideas and thoughts and opinions and claims should be given equal weight. Not all should be respected or listened to. You have a right to your opinion, but you don't have a right to have your opinion taken seriously. If it's a really stupid, bad opinion, I don't have to take it seriously. I don't have to sit down and

contemplate it. Hmm, let me think about this. There are some opinions where I can hear it and say, dumb. That's it. I'm not even going to, that's all I have to say about it. I'm not going to consider it further than that. This is one of the problems I have with conservatives who, when discussing diversity, will say, well, we need diversity of thought. That's what we need. Well, sort of, but not really. I think society should be open to and kids in school should be exposed to a wide array of intelligent, worthwhile, and defensible ideas and opinions. but some ideas should be ignored, excluded, yes, excluded, because they have no worth, because they're delusional and wrong. And by treating them with respect, by being fair to them, we give the impression

that there may be some merit to these ideas when there is no merit. For example, the idea that a five-year-old male child may actually be a girl if he says he is, that he might have a little girl trapped inside him. And so he should be dressed up like one and referred to as one. It's one of those ideas, has no merit. Lester Holt was not referring to this insanity when he said that some claims are unsupported, but this is nonetheless the best example to prove the point. The claims made by left-wing gender theorists are wholly worthless, without value, without merit. They should not be respected. We should not give equal weight to the idea that a boy with a penis is really a girl. We should not treat it like a claim that's just as valid and plausible as the claim

that a boy with a penis is a boy. We don't need diversity of thought. Well, we need to embrace both thoughts. You could have a penis and be a boy or a girl, and we need the diversity of these. No, we don't. Kids in school should not be taught that there are two equal and valid theories on this subject. They should be taught the facts of biological sex and informed that any opposing ideas are simply false and should be ignored. Of course, what's actually happening is the opposite. They're taught that boys can have vaginas and get pregnant and that any contrary opinion to that is false and should be ignored. The left, as Lester Halt just explained, is not worried about being fair to our viewpoints. They're not willing to hear them out, even when our viewpoint is the

viewpoint of basic biological science. Now, for too long, the right in an effort to seem open-minded has responded to this intellectual intolerance from the left by saying, but we just want all ideas to be heard. We want all opinions and viewpoints to be given an equal hearing. It's not what I want. I'll tell you right now, that is not what I want. As Lester Holtz said himself, you know, it's about the truth, except that he doesn't really care about the truth.

I do. What I want is the truth. I want the truth to be heard and known and respected. I want a society based around truth. grounded in a respect for and an acknowledgement of and an understanding of truth. I don't want to give untruth an equal platform. I don't want to give it equal space on the stage. I don't want to respect it.

I don't respect it. We should not be fair to lies and deceptions and delusions. We shouldn't give them our respect. We should attack them head on. Destroy them. we should be unfair to them and intolerant of them. Because, again, as was said, the only thing that really matters is the truth. Now let's get to our five headlines.

Before we get to five headlines today, I got to tell you about our good friends over at constitutioncoach.com. As we've been talking about many conservatives, all conservatives, really, say they love the Constitution, they love our liberties and freedoms. It's so important to defend them. and all of that, but how many of us actually stand ready to defend them? How many of us really understand these issues that, well, my friends over at Constitutioncoach.com,

have a lot of great programs for equipping citizens to defend liberty by studying and living out the Constitution. I have experienced this myself at their constitutional defense course, which, by the way, you take over at the premier firearms training facility in the nation in Nevada, and it's just a place that you have to see for yourself. It's experience you have to have for yourself. You get live classes with Rick Green, America's Constitution Coach, and you also get the physical training as well.

You get to join hundreds of other patriots from across the nation for a time of learning, training, and fellowship with like-minded people. The fellowship part of this is really important as well, because we're not alone. There are other sane people in the world, too, although it may not always seem that way, whether you have shotguns your whole life or you're a beginner, wherever you are, I'm telling you, they're going to bring you to a whole new skill level. That's what they did for me.

So Rick and the Constitution Coach team have another class on April 25th, but it will fill up fast, so visit constitutioncoach.com today. You can watch my video there to find out more about how you can be a part of this one-of-a-kind training. That's constitutioncoach.com. All right. Well, you know, the tooth fairy saga continues, by the way. Speaking of, I just said the truth matters, well, here's an example of not telling the truth. I was saying yesterday, my daughter is very smart, critical thinker, which I'm proud of her for that.

But she's starting to figure the tooth fairy thing out. And yesterday, you know, I went into her room. far I left in the morning and she told me that she'd lost your tooth and and she didn't tell us the night before that she lost it because she wanted she was running a test to see if the tooth fairy would still come even if she doesn't tell mom and dad and of course tooth fairy didn't come what a coincidence because she didn't tell us and and then so the problem is that my my wife she she really wants to she realizes that it's a house of cards and if you lose the tooth fairy in the Easter bunny then you lose Santa Claus and she really wants to hang on to Santa Claus for the kids for one more

It's really, you know, she just wants one more Christmas out of it, which means we got to keep the tooth fairy going. And this is becoming difficult because last night, my daughter, I'm not making this up. This is, she came up with this on her own because she's like really trying to figure this out. And so she came up with a plan last night where she, first of all, she had a tooth under the pillow, of course. And she put out some food for the tooth fairy. I don't know. That's not usually part of the tooth fairy deal. The tooth fairy doesn't usually eat, but so she put out a little bowl of water and I think some peanuts.

Maybe the tooth fairy eats peanuts. Why not? Everyone likes peanuts. And then she put out some baking soda around the dish so that she could get the footprints of the tooth fairy. Really, tooth fairy is probably flying, but still. And then she also said, yeah, she asked if she could use one of our phones and put up, like put a camera there so she could capture the tooth fairy. so she could capture the tooth fairy coming in. And this was this whole plan she concocted.

And my wife told her, yes, let's do all that. And of course, I'm saying to my wife, what's your plan here with the camera part of this? How are you going to make that? Apparently, there's an app for this, there is an app for this exact situation where a little girl is trying to figure out the tooth fairy is real. And anyway, there's an app where you can have like a tooth fairy come in and show it to the kid. So we got her. We fooled her for another few months.

Yay us. I'm so proud of us. All right. So we begin with an article on CNN.com about Christy Noam, who has signed some executive orders dealing with the boys in girl sports issue. But she still refuses to sign legislation, but instead she's doing executive orders. The article talks about that, but then it gets to the kicker. We'll read here. It says South Dakota's Republican governor, Christy Noam, banned transgender girls and women from competing on women's sports teams at public high

schools and colleges via a pair of executive orders issued on Monday. Of course, what she actually banned was boys playing in girls teams. The move came after Noam angered conservatives by killing a bill that would have created a similar prohibition in a news release explaining her veto at the time, Nome cited her concern that the bill would take the state's colleges and universities out of compliance with national rules, so we know about that. She's worried that the NWACP would punish the state of South Dakota. The NWACP would get really mad and punish them if she tried to put this, if this ban was put in place and it applied to colleges. And she didn't want to make the NDACP mad and get punished by them. Or rather the NCAA, the NCAA, I should,

She doesn't want to make them mad to get punished by them. So she decided to do the executive orders instead. Now, here we get to the kicker. It says, though the two executive orders signed by Nome do not explicitly mention transgender athletes, they reference the supposed harms of the participation of, quote, males in women's athletics. And they put quotes around males. Yeah, quote unquote, males.

But no, we don't need the quotes there that we are talking about actual males. It says, an echo of the transphobic claim cited in other similar. or legislative initiatives that transgender women are not women. The orders also reference biological sex, a disputed term that refers to the sex as listed on students' original birth certificates. And then here we go here. It's not possible to know a person's gender identity at birth. And there is no consensus criteria for assigning sex at birth.

There is no consensus criteria for assigning sex at birth. signing sex at birth. Now, the first part of that sentence is right. That there is no way to know a baby's gender identity because that's a made-up concept. Gender identity doesn't exist. Kids have to be indoctrinated into believing in this thing called gender identity. Babies haven't been indoctrinated yet, so for them, gender identity doesn't exist. That's true.

The rest of it, though, is where we go, wildest. off the rails. There's, there's no consensus. Think about the claim here. Okay, think about the claim. This is in a news article. This is not an editorial, a CNN news article saying there's no consensus for criteria for figuring out the sex of a child. They're not just saying that technically we, we can't really know the sex. Now, that would be totally wrong also. They're claiming that there's no criteria. Yes, there is. So this is wrong, horribly, ridiculously wrong on two levels. Not only can we obviously tell the sex of a child, most of the time all you've got to do is look between the legs, but there is clearly a consensus criteria. Every childbirth that happens on

earth, everywhere. And it has been this case since the beginning of humanity. The criteria has been, let's look at the, let's look at the reproductive organs on the child. That's been the criteria. That's what hospitals do. I have been there for the births of four children. That's the way it goes. So even if you want to claim that we can't know the sex or that the sex of a child is fluid, again, all that obviously totally wrong, you would have to, you would think at least admit that

there is right now a consensus criteria. If you want to say that that criteria doesn't work or whatever, then fine, make that case. But to deny that the criteria even exists at all, well, this is what we get from the left, obviously. They can, they will just simply wave their hand and say that that truth, that this isn't happening. You thought that that was happening. You thought that in every hospital in the world when a baby is born, they look between the legs and decide and figure out what the sex is. They don't assign it, by the way. There's no assignment happening. The doctor isn't looking and saying, okay, this one's going to be a boy. Then you just stamp the word boy on its head. That's not the way it works. But that is how they're

determining it. And the left says, no, that's not happening. What you think you're seeing, you're not seeing. Oh, but these are the pro-science people. Remember that. These are the people who feel entitled. I feel like they're in a position where they can accuse other people of being anti-science. Right. Okay. Number two is from TMZ. It says Deshawn Watson's attorney says 18 professional, he's the quarterback for the Houston, Texans,

involved in a, in a, there's many sexual assault accusations coming out against them, a lot of lawsuits. And so here it says, Deshawn Watson's attorney says 18. professional female massage therapists are going to bat for the QB, saying they had nothing but positive experiences with him over the years. Rusty Hardin says the women all worked with the Houston, Texas QB at some point over the past five years, completing more than 130 sessions without any sort of incident. Hardin issued a statement saying, these women say they are deeply troubled by the accusations made against Deshaun and that these claims are wholly inconsistent with their experiences with him and who they believe him to be. All of them said,

stated that Deshawn never made them feel uncomfortable or demanded anything outside the scope of a professional massage. Okay, so we've got other female massage therapists coming out and saying, oh, well, he didn't sexually assault me. And that's supposed to, I guess, cancel out the dozens of female massage therapists who said that they were sexually assaulted. Now, already, I would think that this defense raised, there's a problem here with this defense. The first problem, obviously, is just because he didn't sexually assault those women doesn't mean he didn't do it to these others. But also, how many female massage therapists does one guy need? So if you've got the 18 who are coming out and saying he didn't assault me, and then you've got,

I don't know what we're up to, we're up to like over 20 who are making claims that he did assault him. So what is that? Like 40? This guy's had 40 female massage therapists in the last five years, 40 different ones. It's not just he's had 40 massages. I understand if you're a professional athlete, maybe you get a lot of massages because of all the damage being done to your muscles. But you need a different massage therapist. You have to keep finding different ones, 40 of them. Yeah, it sounds to me at a minimum this is a guy with some issues. And then you consider 20 accusations doesn't meet, just because there are so many accusations doesn't make it true. And again, I'm the, I'm the last guy to immediately assume that someone is guilty just because

a claim is being made. But you do have, it's sometimes it's a, it's a, just a matter of probability in looking at the numbers. Either 20 women are all lying individually or this one guy is lying. Most more likely. You add in the text messages allegedly from him that have been produced, actual, actual evidence, pretty rare that you have physical evidence presented in these kinds of cases. It's a pretty compelling case being made here.

that this guy might be a serial sexual abuser. And he's a major star. He's a major NFL star. And yet somehow, this, this, you hear about this case, but it's not getting the kind of attention that you might expect. I wonder why that is. It's from the Daily Wire. It says parents at Litchfield Elementary School in Arizona are infuriated over the

district's proposed equity plan that's infused with elements of critical race theory. The idea that America is rooted in racism. The district's transformation equity work centers around the definition of anti-racism, which claims that being not racist is insufficient. The definition suggests that parents and educators must be actively fighting against racism in all its forms, though what is considered racist is often subjective. During a school board meeting, parents slammed the board members who crafted in support of the equity plan. One parent threatened to hold a recall campaign against board members. So we have some the audio here. And I always appreciate that when there's audio of parents or students

fighting back, resisting. That's a good thing. That's, that's encouraging. So let's, let's play this. Let me just tell you, my kids are a minority group. I am Hispanic. Never once have they come home and said that they felt victimized or discriminated against because of their race or ethnicity. I've done a lot of research into this. transformational equity work document as well as Mr. Kendi's theory, radical theory, unproven, without a lot of supporting facts, and I'm deeply concerned for my kids who are in this district. I have had over a dozen teachers reach out to me,

frustrated and upset over what is being thrown their way with this transformational equity work. Thank you me for speaking up for them because they can't do it themselves for fear of retaliation and possible discrimination. Further on, the document references reducing disciplinary action by race, reviewing library books, and hiring based on race, ethnicity, gender identity, faith, sexual orientation, socioeconomic class, and age. You know what? We have fought and battled for equal rights.

in this country. This doesn't sound like equal rights. This sounds like we're going to go higher based on meeting a quota. Well, you have to excuse some of the dramatic music there underneath. That wasn't our edition. But there is the, yeah,

there's parents speaking out against this insanity, which is great. This, at a minimum, is what's going to be needed, parents to be aware and involved in speaking out. If you feel that you have no choice but to send your kid to public school, then at a minimum you got to be doing this. You have to be on top of it. You have to be aware of everything that's happening, talking to your kids about it every day when they get home. Right.

Get the full report of what happened, what they were taught, go to the school board meetings. You pay attention. You got to do this. You have to do it or you're going to lose your kids. child. That's where we're at. You're going to lose your child. Maybe not physically, but you're going to lose them mentally, emotionally, spiritually. You're going to lose them in every other way. The school system is going to take your child from you and replace your kid with someone else. Turn them into something. All the values, all the ideas that you have instill, all the priorities and

everything that you have instilled in your child, the school system's job that they've given themselves is to take all that away and replace it. But I can't help but think every time I watch a video like this, I can't help but think that it's a little bit like trying to empty the ocean with a fimbled. There's, it's, it's, there's too much. The school system now, school systems across the country are so fundamentally beholden to, you know, left-wing doctrines that there's not a lot that can be done to change it, except for, as I always say, get your kids out of public school system. A little bit more school craziness. A school district in Illinois is looking to take Thomas Jefferson's name off of a school, but they're having trouble now

figuring out who to replace what name to put in place of Thomas Jefferson because what they're discovering is that everyone in history, even like recent history, even recent presidents like say Barack Obama are also problematic by the left standards today. Here's a report on this from the local affiliate, the local ABC affiliate. Let's watch that. Those against the Obama's as a name choice say the former president failed to deliver on promises to the immigrant population. Tonight, Waikagan's Board of Education heard concerns from the public over one of the finalists in the running to be the new name for Thomas Jefferson Middle School. I want to urge the school board to drop the names of Barack and Michelle Obama from consideration.

I personally don't object to the name, but I have to be aware of the concerns. The country's first black president and first lady Barack and Michelle Obama is one of the top three choices for the school's new name, but one that's drawing opposition in the area with a large Latinx population. We feel that Barack Obama disservice us. He denied us. And he didn't stop the deportations the way he promised. Members of the area's Latinx community held a protest outside the meeting's doors. If you're removing the name of Thomas Jefferson, one oppressor, the name of Obama is another oppressor.

And our families do not want to see that name. Mauricio Sanchez's father was deported in 2015 during the Obama administration. It was something very sad. We had to. We couldn't even say goodbye to our dad. We just hoped for him to be able to get out. He said his dad is still in deportation hearings to this day, and the Sanchez family says the Obama name is a reminder of their current struggles.

You got to love it. You really do. Obama's an oppressor, too. You remove one oppressor. Thomas Jefferson can't replace him with another Barack Obama. Yep, he's an oppressor. Fine. Everybody is. There's no getting around it.

nobody. I mean, really, nobody is woke enough now. It's impossible. The only people who can be woken off is someone maybe who was born yesterday. That's how recent it has to be. We name all the schools after infants, after gender fluid infants. They're the only ones who could possibly be woken up. Anyone who existed prior to five years ago is going to have done things that are considered problematic now or held views or said things that are considered problematic. I mean, my goodness, Barack Obama was anti-gay marriage for most of his life. He ran in 2008 as a pro-traditional marriage candidate, which is crazy to think now, but it's true. And they haven't even brought that up yet. He deported a few people. He was against gay marriage.

Man, this guy was a bigot. I guess you got to take, you take all the names down, all the statues down, replace them with nothing. Give all the school's numbers. That's it. Here's someone who might be woke enough. I don't know. Demi Lovato announced that she is a pansexual. So she's a pansexual now.

She's kind of been graduating from one level to the next. I think at one, at one point she said she was a lesbian or maybe bisexual. But now she's pansexual. And here she is on Joe Rogan talking about, well, here she is talking about living her truth. And then she gets into how she's pansexual. Well, let's listen to that. For someone like me who's always tried to please other people

by being what they want me to be, whether it was a sexy pop star in a leotard or engaged to a dude, like I had to speak my truth and tell the world, hey, my truth isn't going to. to be what you want it to be anymore. Like, I'm chopping my hair off because it feels right to me. A lot of my fans want me to have long hair. They love the long hair.

It's like, look. How do they feel about the double unicorns on your shirt? They haven't seen them yet. Only you have. But we'll find out. And I'm eager to know. It's hilarious of people who have expectations about your looks, like how you, how you should wear your hair.

Yes. But that's being a pop star. Yeah. It sounds so hard. That's being a pop star. People have expectations. How about she's living? She had to speak her truth and live her truth. I got to say, I'm kind of disappointed in Joe Rogan that he, that he, listened to her say that and didn't roll his eyes. At least I don't think it did. It wasn't on camera. But when someone uses a phrase, speak my truth or live my truth around you,

and they're not being ironic or sarcastic, the only appropriate response is to roll your eyes and say, shut up. That's it. I don't care who it is. That's the only appropriate response. You definitely can't nod your head and go along with it. Oh, huh? You're speaking your truth. Great. That's so brave. So brave. She goes from there to talk about how she's attracted to, she's a pansexual now. And she's so fluid. She's so fluid now, she says. And she clarified that she's attracted to anything. Anything. Not even anybody. Anything. Including maybe actual pots and pans. So, in a very literal sense, she's pansexual. I just love hearing these celebrities complain about fame.

Even putting the pansexual stuff to the side, because we know there, look, yeah, the LGBT crew, they're so oppressed that every celebrity in existence right now is desperate to be a part of the club and they're coming up with anything they can to be in there. That's how oppressed they are, right? but the rest of it about people don't like it when you chop your hair off or they have expectations yeah you're famous you have cultivated you don't become famous by accident most of the time you have to cultivate that fame you have to try really hard to be famous and to maintain your fame because even demi levato's at a level she's really famous but she could stop being famous if she wanted If she went away, did something else, people would basically forget about her and not care in a few years or a few months. So don't complain about it.

Everybody has an opinion. They're all looking at you. Of course they are. It's what you want. This is the situation you have tried really hard to create for yourself and maintain. I'm not really interested in the complaints about it. Finally, a little bonus thing here. I got to play this.

We can't move on without playing it, even if you've already heard it. Jill Biden, Dr. Jill Biden, Esquire, was giving a speech to a group of Hispanic voters, rather Latinx Latinx voters, I should say. Excuse me. And she attempted a bit of Spanish herself. And it didn't go well. Here it is. Cé de Pue d'E Pard. It sounded like she was trying to say Padre, but she had a speech impediment. So that's what it sounded like. But what what, what, what, okay, so she was. Okay, so she was, going, I think, for the phrase, yes, we can. But she said C-S-A-Pu-D-W-W-D-R-R-E. So that's like, yes, what would that be? Yes, yes, we're the father. It'd become an episode of a Mori all of a sudden. She was going for, yes, we can, which is C-S-A-P-E-E-D-E. I think, in fact, the correct

pronunciation is P-E-D, I believe. C-S-A-P-E-D. But that's what she gets for attempting. This should be something that all politicians or, you know, people in the political light should know. Don't attempt to speak a foreign language unless you know it really, really well, which she obviously doesn't. And on top of that, if you're watching the video there, you saw a really curious flag in the background, which looks a lot like a Nazi flag. It kind of has the Nazi eagle, the same color scheme. at least it it looks much more like a Nazi flag we can assume it's not actually a Nazi flag

she wasn't really at a at a Hispanic Nazi rally we can assume probably but it looks much more like a Nazi thing it looks more Nazi-esque than say the stage at CPAC you got to stretch a lot more to make the stage at CPAC into a Nazi symbol than you did with that flag

of the eagle and the the red and everything. But of course, we get the controversy over the stage, but not over that flag. Can you imagine if that was Trump giving a speech in front of a flag like that? We would quite literally never hear the end of it. All right, let's move on to reading the YouTube comments. Okay. First comment says, there is zero chance, there is a zero percent chance Matt is not wearing skinny jeans with that shirt.

Dom says, I was watching this on the deal. Daily Wire, but came to YouTube just for the comments on Matt's shirt. Michael says, I've been avoiding the comment feed for months in an effort not to get banned, but after seeing today's shirt, I no longer have fear. Go ahead, Matt. Put me out of my misery. Stephanie says, Matt is trolling us. We're all focusing on the shirt, but little do we know that he's also wearing skinny jeans. Now, the comment says Matt's wife doesn't mind that he's taken to wearing her blouses. That's pretty progressive. Matthew says Walsh's wife was unavailable for shirt check when he left the house today. His daughter dressed him in this thing as

payback for the tooth fairy lies. Amber says, how did you fit into your grandmother's blouse? Melinda says, great show, good point like always. Great shirt. My mom had a tablecloth like it once. And then someone else says, nice shirt, Matt. Do they make it for men? Okay.

Yeah. So I'm gathering from the comments that you all didn't like my, my polka dot t-shirt that I wore yesterday. Was that hard for you guys? Was it difficult for you to, was it hard for you to see me in my hideous shirt? Was it so hard that you needed to leave a thousand comments and even to leave to message my wife. My wife got messages, people telling on me for the shirt that I wore. Was that, was that, was it hard? Oh, isn't that, isn't that too bad? Well, how hard do you think it is for me

to be cyber bullied like this? I came to work yesterday, feeling great. Okay, I was feeling confident in my, in my Pocodot T-shirt. I left the house. I was whistling. I was whistling. whistling joyfully, and I was saying to myself, gee whiz, I cannot wait for the gang to see my new shirt. They're going to love it. And this is how you respond. I'm not mad. I'm disappointed and hurt, frankly. This is cyberbullying.

I'm not going to back down. I'm not going to be intimidated by it. I'm not going to be stopped from speaking my, from wearing my truth, even when my truth is polka-dotted. So I tell you what, here's what's going to happen now. Here's what's going to happen now. I'm going to wear that damn shirt once a week for the rest of the year, just to spite you people.

Don't put it past me. You think you can shame me out of wearing something? This is your fault. You did this. You're going to have to look at that shirt every week now for the rest of the year. Your own behavior did this. Every time you see it, I want you to think about the way that you bullied me. I want you to think about the hurt that you caused. Shame on you.

How dare you? And it's a great shirt. I don't care what you people say. Now, a quick word from Rock Auto. If you need auto parts, you've basically got two choices. You can go to the auto parts store, waste all your time, driving there, walking around, looking for what you want. Everything's expensive. There's not a great selection.

They're not going to have what you want. They've got to order it online. You can do all that, or you could just pull your phone out of your pocket and go to rockauto.com. I know what I do.

Now, I also got to tell you about Candace. Of course, well, you've heard us talking about Candice. You joined the DailyWire a few weeks ago with the premiere of her new talk show, Candice. The show streams on dailywire.com. Fridays at 9 p.m. Eastern, 8 p.m. Central. but you can get the audio podcast, Candice on Apple, Spotify, wherever you listen to your podcast. Candice hosts a series of guests on the show each week,

making for lively panel discussions and insightful interviews. There have been a lot of featured guests. Really excited to announce that if you watch the show this Friday, there's going to be particularly brilliant, and I have to say, a handsome guest who makes great decisions in the kinds of shirts that he wears. And that's me. I'm a guest on the show.

So you could watch for that reason, or you can just watch because it's a great show in general. If you need some Candace Owens in your podcast feed, look no further. Head over to Apple Podcasts or Spotify and subscribe today. And be sure to leave a five-star review if you like what you hear. Now let's get to our daily cancellation. Today we're canceling, on top of everyone, of course, who was making fun of my shirt. You're all banned from the show.

Needless to say. We're also canceling Cat On. You've never heard of her before. And that's part of the point. She's an actress who, so far as I know, has appeared in one thing of note. And that's a Christmas episode of The Office. That was many years ago, season three, a two-part episode called a Benny Hana Christmas. In the episode, she, an Asian woman, plays a waitress who Michael

ends up hitting on and trying to use as a rebound because he's depressed after just breaking up with his girlfriend, if I remember the plot points correctly. And I probably do because I've seen all the episodes of The Office 16 times. Anyway, Kat, 15 years later, has decided that it was actually racist, that the role that she was playing was racist. She's decided this a decade and a half later. Here she is on TikTok explaining. So these are the things I've learned as an actor's on the Benihana Christmas episode of The Office. I actually understood why Bipak actors play racist roles. You know, sometimes you've got to pay your rent.

Sometimes you enjoy the union. Sometimes you just don't want your agent to drop you. Also, this episode was before, you know, wokeness. So the Benihana Christmas episode is actually one of the more popular holiday TV episodes. And the storyline with myself and the other agent, Asian American actress is that we were the uglier versions of the actresses at the Betty Hana. Also, that all Asian people look alike were one big monolith and we're just one big walking stereotype without any personality or individuality, which is problematic.

Oh, it's problematic. That's what it is. Yeah, I mean, it's very problematic. It's a problem. It wasn't a problem when she cashed the check. I assume she did cash it after all. Wasn't her problem when she read the script. Wasn't a problem at all at any point until now.

But now it's a problem. Not just a problem, but problematic. That's the worst kind of problem to have. Now, let's go through this, okay? First of all, she says, while trying to explain why she took this allegedly racist role, that this was, quote, before wokenness. So now this is like the new BCAD we're going to have. We're going to have BW-A-W.

before wokeness after wokeness. What does that mean? Well, she believes in is not alone in believing that at some point in the last like five years, society went through some kind of great mystical awakening. And we suddenly realized that a bunch of stuff we thought was fine and normal is actually bad. Nobody can ever explain how this awakening occurred

and why we should consider it in awakening rather than say mass delusion or a moral panic. There is, after all, plenty of precedent for mass deletion. illusion and moral panic. There is no precedent historically for an entire society suddenly all it wants to become enlightened. True moral enlightenment doesn't work that way. It has never worked that way. Societies can become morally enlightened in certain ways or more morally enlightened in certain ways. But those gains are won slowly over long periods of time. And much struggle is required to achieve it. So if you find that everyone woke up one day and

became hysterical about some new alleged evil. If you find that everyone is suddenly freaking out about something that just a minute ago seemed normal and fine, there's a much greater likelihood that what you are experiencing is a panic, not enlightenment. And panic, by the way, is pretty much the exact opposite of enlightenment. Second point, the characters were stereotypes. She complains. Yes, well, it was a comedy, built around stereotypes. Many comedies are. That's the nature of comedy. What made the office so funny and relatable is that every character was a distinct personality, but also a type. So you could say, as you watched, you know, oh yeah, I know this person. I have this person in my office. Michael Scott was Michael Scott,

but he also was everyone's incompetent boss. Jim and Pam worked so well as characters because they felt like the type of people that you could meet on the street. Angela was the uptight white Christian woman. Creed was the weird old guy. Stanley was the, you know, not messing around, no time for your crap black guy. All of the characters were stereotypes intentionally, but also they were developed personalities in their own right. That's what made the show work. That was the point of the show. And a lot of the humor in the show came from Michael having no social awareness or self-awareness and saying insensitive things even while mostly trying to be politically correct. He was the butt of the joke. The joke was on him. It was about his buffoonery. But even though Michael's

obliviousness and unintentional insensitivity was the joke, even so, So it must be considered offensive these days because the jokes often dealt with race, sexual orientation, et cetera. They just dealt with it. That's it. It wasn't really making fun of people for the race. It was a joke that dealt with race. It was a joke where race was a part of the joke.

You aren't allowed to have jokes that deal with those subjects. Even if the jokes aren't actually saying anything offensive about those subjects. So it was only a matter of time before they got around to the office. There have been attempts in recent years back in 2019. the website's screen rant ran an article titled 10 episodes of the office that aged poorly, then listing, it lists the episodes that, quote, aged rather poorly with their flood of inappropriate jokes. And of course, it lists all of the funniest and best episodes.

Now, that never really caught on in 2019, but right now, in this environment, it's a different story. Already there are headlines and all the major media publications based on what this unknown actress said. and they're all declaring that the office is now problematic. I'd say, this is my prediction, we have a few weeks before NBC starts removing some episodes, attaching offensive content disclaimers to others. This is not a very bold prediction. We know that all comedy must eventually end up on the burn pile. Comedy involves laughing at or about something or someone.

And such an uproarious and unregulated display can, cannot be allowed by the robotic prudes who run our culture now. One such prude, a hypocritical prude, as prudes often are, is cat on. And so she, along with all the people in the future who are going to cancel this show and get it banned, as we know it's going to happen. They are all canceled. And we'll leave it there for today.
