The Matt Walsh Show - Ep. 806 - The Vaccine Sacrament

Episode Date: September 28, 2021

Today on the Matt Walsh Show, the governor of New York is set to fire hundreds of health care workers for not getting vaccinated, artificially creating a healthcare worker shortage. While speaking at a church, she framed her vaccine mandates in explicitly religious terms. It’s blasphemous but revealing. Also, Joe Biden gets his third COVID shot while announcing that things won’t get back to normal until 98 percent of all people are jabbed. Plus, a medical journal refers to women as “bodies with vaginas.” And more information has come out about that guy who whipped up a social media mob against a woman who allegedly said something mean about him at the dog park. Finally, the local media here in my home of Virginia are not happy that I’ve come to speak at the Loudoun County school board. We’ll play a few clips for you today.  You petitioned, and we heard you.

Today on the Matt Walls show, the governor of New York is set to fire hundreds of health care workers for not getting vaccinated, artificially creating a health care worker shortage. And while speaking out of church, she framed her vaccine mandates in explicitly religious terms, which is a blasphemous thing, of course, but revealing. Also, Joe Biden gets his third COVID shot while announcing that things aren't going to get back to normal until 98% of all people are jabbed with the vaccine. Plus, a medical journal refers to women as bodies with vaginas. and more information has come out about the guy who whipped up a social media mob against the woman who allegedly said something mean about him at a dog park. Finally, the local media here in my home of Virginia are not happy that I've come to speak at the Loudoun County School Board. We'll play a few clips of that for you today. All of that and much more on The Matt Wall Show.

Well, we know the left has taken over all of the country's major institutions from media, academia, the school system, government, everywhere, Hollywood, and most corporations and most companies, but there are some exceptions, and those exceptions are very special, and there's a reason why, you know, that's all the more reason to support those exceptions when we find them, like Charity Mobile, for example.

You know, as a humble man who prefers to shrink from the spotlight, it pains me to have to start another show saying, I told you so, but I did in fact tell you so. You may remember a few weeks ago when Andrew Cuomo had finally been pushed to.

to resign from the governorship. And many on the right were throwing the confetti and cheering his demise. And I said that we should slow the celebratory parade down a little bit. It is certain that whoever replaces him will be worse. One thing that we ought to understand about the left at this point is that they never, I mean, never, ever, not ever turn on one of their own as they did Cuomo,

unless they've got a more dedicated and radical ideologue waiting in the wings to replace him. That's the only time they do it. The media, after months of hero worship, suddenly decided to hold Cuomo accountable. How could this be explained? Was it a case of sudden onset integrity? Had they seen the light? Were they determined out of nowhere to be fair, objective, and honest? Were the media and Democrats trying to oust Cuomo simply because he deserved to be ousted? No, obviously not. They were doing it because they realized it would benefit them.

And part of the reason why I would benefit them is that the person who would replace him, Kathy Hokule, Hockle, Hockle, Hocul, I'll go with a bunch of different pronunciations because I don't know, would be an even more reliable pawn for the far left. Hockel is a particularly dangerous type of tyrant. She's a thoroughly mediocre woman, unimpressive in every way, very few accomplishments to her name, who managed to float on the breeze into a position of power. She served one unremarkable term in Congress nearly a decade ago before losing re-election. Next thing you know, she's appointed lieutenant governor, and now she's governor of one of the most populated states in the country. These are always the types you have to look out for, much like Kamala Harris, who made her way into politics by sleeping with a married man, and then became vice president, despite losing in the primaries in spectacular fashion, garnering essentially zero support from the electorate. These are the types who, along with being communists, also think they have something to prove. And Kathy Hockew has set out to prove whatever she wants to prove. Yesterday, she announced that all health care workers in the state had to be. vaccinated by midnight or be fired. Listen to this. We'll be nation leading with our mandate,

which strikes at midnight tonight when everyone is expected in a hospital in the state of New York or a health care facility to have been vaccinated. I will be signing an executive order to give me the emergency powers necessary to address the shortages where they occur. That's going to allow me to deploy the National Guard who are medically trained, deploy people who've been retired, had a licensed lapse, bring in people from elsewhere. That is not my first position of my friends. My desire is to have the people who've been out there, continue to work in their jobs, working them safely,

and to all the other healthcare workers who are vaccinated, they also deserve to know that the people they're working with will not get them sick. Okay, so just to be clear about what's happening here, the governor of New York is artificially engineering a hospital staffing shortage, while at the same time, claiming that we're in the middle of a deadly pandemic and hospitals are overwhelmed. Hospitals are overwhelmed. So let's start firing health care workers by the hundreds or thousands. This is without exaggeration,

one of the most twisted and evil things we've ever seen. She's also made it clear that there will be no religious exemptions for any health care worker who refuses a jab. And she makes, I guess this is her legal argument for disallowing religious exemptions. And I find it, I don't know, a little bit dubious. Listen to this. position is to ask people, please do this. This is why it's been proven to be safe. The vaccine's been out there a long time now. There are not legitimate religious exemptions because the leaders of all the organized religions have said there's no legitimate reason, and we're going to win that in court in a matter of days. And so this is so unnecessary. And I just want to appeal to the

individuals to know that your co-workers want you to do this. Don't make the burden heavier on them as well. So her legal argument for abolishing religious exemptions is that she has conducted a survey of the leaders of all of the organized religions, all of them, and found that all of them agree with her. Even if that were true, of course, it would still would not negate religious exemptions. The opinions of religious leaders don't supersede the First Amendment rights of individuals, but it's also not true. I mean, there are something like 4,000 religions in the world. When she says that all of the leaders of all of the religions agree with her, she means that she talked to three. Episcopal priests and a rabbi. Her arguments may be laughable, but that doesn't matter,

as we've seen time and again, she is simply going to impose herself, claim power and exercise it, regardless of what anybody says about it. Is there any actual reason, any good reason, I mean, to fire thousands of health care workers? The very workers who were being celebrated as living saints only six months ago, have these unvaccinated health care workers caused any outbreaks in the intervening months? I haven't heard about that. No one's telling us about that. So if they haven't, that means they've been working in hospitals for 18 months without any problem. Why make it a problem now?

And what about those healthcare workers who understand the science, as you'd hope they all do, though you hope in vain, and haven't gotten the vaccine because they've already been infected, and they know that natural immunity likely provides greater protection than the vaccine, according to the studies we've seen on this? Why should they get the jab? Should they be compelled to inject a substance into their bodies just to what? good team players? Is that the argument? There is no response to these questions. Those in power don't need to bother with these kinds of questions at all, or responses to them. They simply do

what they want to do and inflict the punishment on anybody who defies them. This is about obedience, religious obedience. And Hokio made that clear a few days earlier while speaking at a mega church in New York. This is pretty incredible. Listen to this. But I prayed a lot to God during this time. And you know what? God did answer our prayers. He made the smartest men and women, the scientists, the doctors, the researchers. He made them come up with a vaccine. That is from God to us. And we must say, thank you, God.

Thank you. And I wear my vaccinated necklace all the time to say, I'm vaccinated. All of you. Yes, I know you're vaccinated. You're the smart ones, but you know there's people out there who aren't listening to God and what God wants. You know this. You know who they are. I need you to be my apostles.

I need you to go out and talk about it and say, we owe this to each other. We love each other. Jesus taught us to love one another. And how do you show that love? But to care about each other enough to say, please get vaccinated because I love you. I want you to live. I want our kids to be safe when they're in schools. I want you to be safe when you go to a doctor's office or to a hospital and are treated

by somebody. You don't want to get the virus from them. You're already sick or you wouldn't be there. We have to solve this, my friends. I need every one of you. I need you to let them know that this is how we can fight this pandemic, come back to normal, and then start talking about the real issues that we have to. Fighting systemic racial injustice, which exists today.

And if there's a don't denier, I will take you on any date because I've seen it. I know it exists. And we are not going to have a blind eye to this ever again any longer under my watch. Oh, she'll take you on. to take you on. So Hockle has a little bit of Democrat Tourette's syndrome at the end there, shouting about systemic racism, because these people can't speak for more than 90 seconds without using the term systemic racism. But her statements before that were revealing. She says that the vaccine is from God, except that really the vaccine is from the pharmaceutical industry.

And the mandates are from the government. It makes you wonder who God even is, according to her usage? Well, she clears that up quickly by imploring the congregation to go out and be my apostles. She, the governor of New York, is recruiting apostles, her own apostles, not apostles of Christ. Their urge to go out and find the lost sheep and bring the sheep into the fold and convince the sheep to stick a needle in their arms and inject a drug into it, whether they need it or not. Why? Well, her religious framing, I think, is quite appropriate. This is about religious observance, obedience. Not to God, the real God, the one true God, but. to the God of the state. As far as the members of the COVID cult are concerned, the vaccine is a

sacrament. Getting the vaccine is a sacramental act. At least that's how they see it, as a sign of fidelity and obedience to the state. That's why they insist that children receive it, even though their immune system already provides them with incredibly effective protection from the virus. And they insist that people with natural immunity get it. Everybody else get it, whether they need it or not. Because it's not about needs. It's not about health. It's not about science. It's about compliance. It's about compliance. That should be very obvious by now. Now let's get to our five headlines.

You know what I was just thinking about today? You know, I think about this a lot. How much I hate going to the auto parts store. I just hate it fills me with rage. And that's why I'm so grateful for rockado.com. They just make it so much easier, don't they? Then walk it into that auto parts store, wandering around the aisles for hours and hours.

You walk out having not, You spent all this money on auto parts you didn't even need. You didn't get the thing you did need. It's just a huge mess. That's why you need rockauto.com. You could just pull out your phone, go on your computer, and you'll find the lowest price as possible. If you're finding on rockato.com, you know that that's the best price you're going to find anywhere.

You also know when you're on rock auto.com that you're getting the best selection anywhere. You're getting it from a family business that's been serving auto parts customers online for 20 years. You go to rock auto. com to shop for auto and body parts from hundreds of manufacturers. The catalog is unique and easy to navigate. So go to rockado.com right now, see all the parts available for your car truck. And remember, as always, to write Walsh in their

How Did You Hear About Us Box? So they know that we sent you. All right, well, if you're watching the videos, you can see we're in another hotel today before I move into my new residence in Virginia and more on that in a little bit. But I sat down to start filming the show today and the people in the control room back in Tennessee

were very concerned that my shirt matches the furniture here and the drapes behind there. And they wanted me to actually go change, which the problem is that is it takes effort. But the other thing is that this is, this is something I do on purpose. I actually like to feel at sort of at one with my surroundings. I also like to blend in in case anybody runs in here, hoping to do me harm. They won't be able to find me because I'm camouflaged into. So this is something I do very intentionally. and I have no issue with it whatsoever.

So, all right, but I expect that the mockery will come in the comments, and I'm fully prepared for that at this point. Okay, let's start with this. Joe Biden got his third COVID shot yesterday, his third one. And he was wearing a mask, so now he's triple-vaxed and still wearing the mask. And he was asked while he was getting the shot, when can we all get back to normal? And of course, there's always this asterisk every time that question is asked because I've been getting back to normal.

I've been living my normal life this entire time. So when someone says, when do we get it back to normal? They're asking, for me, it's when can I start doing the things that I've been doing this entire time? But for those who have not been living normal lives, when can they start? And Joe Biden has an answer for that. And here it is. How do you need to be vaccinated first to go back to normal? What is the percentage total vaccination to often be deployed?

Well, I think, look, I think we get the vast majority of what is going on in some of the, some industries and some schools, 697, 98%. I think we're going to awful close. But I'm not the scientist. I think, but one thing we're certain. A quarter of the country can't go on vaccine and us not continue to have a problem. 98%. And then we're getting close. So it's not even that 98% means we can get back to normal. It means we're close at 98% and we're exactly 2% away because 100% is really what he's saying.

The goal is here. He says a quarter of the country cannot go unvaxed. Well, I'm old enough to remember when they were telling us that 70% was the goal. you get 70% vaccinated, that's the magic, just like 15 days a slow. The spread was the magical was the magical limit. Then it was, you know, they keep moving it. At one point, it was 70% vaccinated. And now it's 98% and even then not really. And even when we get to 100%, which we never will, so I can't say when, but in this, in this magical, fantastical scenario where we get to 100% vaccination, even then it's still not good enough because then we got to start doing the booster shots. Because apparently, I mean, Joe Biden got his full dose of vaccines six months ago,

and he already needs another one. So once we get to 100%, then we got to get to 200% because everybody's got to get vaccinated again. And it will never, ever end. They're basically at the point of actually telling us that now. They're never going to come out directly and say, we'll never end, but that's as close as they're going to come to telling the truth on that point. I think meanwhile, and related to this, the Alberta chief health officer, Dina Hinshaw in Canada, had some of her own thoughts about COVID. And specifically, here she's talking about, she's being asked about outbreaks,

especially outbreaks connected to kids in school. She's explaining what counts as an outbreak now. And it's very interesting. Listen. So we do have that framework where schools, if they see that there are an increased number of children who are ill because of respiratory illness, again, or teachers or staff, they can work with Alberta Health Services.

And in some ways, that is adding an additional layer of protection because if individuals choose to not get tested for COVID but are home with an illness, they're now counted in the list as being part of that outbreak. And so it's less dependent on needing a test to be a part of identifying where there is an issue. We are, as I mentioned, working with education to determine if there are any adjustments that need to be made to this framework. But there are no other settings right now, aside from continuing care and acute care,

as locations where there's a significant risk of transmission and severe outcomes if there should be an outbreak. In those settings, we are ensuring that follow-up takes place to mitigate and to manage outbreaks. However, in schools, again, we are taking the approach that an illness that fits that definition, respiratory illness, is treated the same way, whether it's someone who's diagnosed with COVID or not, and that additional measures can be put into place. I remember when it was a conspiracy theory that they were pumping up the COVID numbers by counting a bunch of things as COVID,

even if they weren't necessarily COVID. I remember that when that was a conspiracy, you couldn't say that. You couldn't talk about that. If I had speculated about such things, I would have been kicked off a YouTube and Twitter would have flagged at us misinformation. And here we have the Alberta chief health officer in Canada

saying that's exactly. exactly what they're going to do and probably have been doing. That if someone has COVID symptoms and they don't test positive or even get tested at all, and they miss school, that counts as COVID, which, as we went over yesterday, is a problem because literally every virus, including the common cold, has COVID symptoms. If you have a migraine and you stay home for the day, that now it's part of a COVID. outbreak. You had COVID. It's not COVID, but it is as far as they're concerned. So this is what we're finding. I think that the powers that B figure at this point after 18

months, they've kind of greased the wheels enough that they can start being more explicit and more direct about some of this stuff. Or they can come out and actually say, yeah, we're counting it as COVID, even if it's not. And 98% vaccination rate. They're being more direct about it. finally. Now, one more clip I want to play for you, not related to COVID, but Jen Pseki was talking about the spending bill, $3.5 trillion. Now, remember, it's $3.5 trillion, but it doesn't actually cost anything at all because it's going to be paid for with taxes. And what we learned yesterday, an economic lesson, it was new to me. And, you know, I'm sorry, I didn't go to college. Maybe this is one of the things I would have learned had I gone. This is the education I

missed out on that if you pay for something, then it's free. As long as you, if you pay for it up front, then it doesn't count as paying, which was amazing news. And what they're saying about the spending bill is $3.5 trillion, but they're going to pay for it with taxes. And so that means that it's free. Never mind the fact that that's actually not true, and it certainly is going to add the deficit. But even pretending that it is, that's the argument. Now, the question arises, well, you start raising taxes, you start taxing corporations, the dastardly corporations, then prices are going to go up because they're going to pass those costs down to the consumer. Well, Jen had something to say about that. Listen. I want to ask you about what Republicans are pointing to in the analysis from the Joint Committee on Taxation.

They say, according to, if I've read the chart correctly, more than 16% of taxpayers would see their taxes increase under the bill. is approved by the House Ways and Means Committee. Will the President sign that bill as is coming out of that committee, or will he insist on the changes so that he will maintain his commitment that taxes won't go up on people making $400,000 a year? I have not looked at the document or the report that you have put out. Obviously, the President's, or that you have referenced, I should say, that the Republicans put out. Obviously, the President's commitment remains not raising taxes for anyone making less than $400,000 a year. There are some, and I'm not sure if this is the case in this report who argue that in the past companies have passed on these costs to consumers.

I'm not sure if that's the argument being made in this report. We feel that that's unfair and absurd, and the American people would not stand for that. But I will take a closer look at this report and get to a more substantive response. It's unfair and absurd for companies to pass down costs to consumers. That's the way the economy works, Jen. It's always worked that way. And the American people not standing for it, we don't really. have a choice. Okay, when the, when the costs go up, it's already way more expensive when you go

to the grocery store to buy basic groceries than it was before Joe Biden took office. And we're upset about it. We don't like it. But we have, we need, what else are we going to do? We're all going to start self-sustaining farms and not go to the store anymore. That would be great, but it's probably not practical. So we have to buy the stuff. We don't have a choice. There are a lot of unfair things that happen in the world. And we don't have any choice. but to endure them. And one of them is that the costs go up. Like, any time costs go up for a company that supplies goods or services to consumers,

that means that the cost is going to go up to the consumers as well. That's just the way that it works. Because the other option is for that company to say, well, you know, we could recoup some of these costs by passing it down to consumers. But, you know, we're going to be nice and not do that. It doesn't work that way. It never has. It never has worked that way. And it's also not unfair or not.

And I don't really think that it is unfair. I think it's pretty logical. It's certainly not absurd. That's just, that again is the way the economy works. Okay, moving on. This is from the Daily Wire. Some more information about the guy. We started the show yesterday talking about this guy, Frederick Joseph, who,

well, I'll read from the Daily Wire article and they'll set it up a little bit. It says, a man who posted a short video clip of a woman as he claimed she made a racist comment to him has a history of making accusations to his more than 100,000 followers on Twitter. His latest target, her name is Emma Sarley, was, and I was talking about this story yesterday, I didn't want to say her name, but it's now out there, and it's too late now. So Emma Sarley was fired from her job after she was identified as the woman in the video, and her employer was contacted. Frederick Joseph, who took the video and made the allegation,

has written a book on anti-racism that I mentioned yesterday called The Black Friend on Being a Better White Person. He also says on his website that he served as a campaign surrogate for Senator. Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders, big shock there. So again, the background here, Frederick Joseph was at a dog park with his fiance and this woman, Emma Sarlie was there. And that's all we really know up until this point. But there was some kind of altercation, some sort of back and forth. And next thing you know, the camera cuts on.

Emma Sarlie is on camera. And the accusation is that she said to Frederick Joseph and his fiance, go back to your hood. We didn't know if that was actually said. We didn't know the context behind it. We didn't know anything. That's what he claimed. And he put her information out there, her face out there. He started digging through her life and posting all this information, put her job out, her employer's name out there, contacted the employer himself, and eventually got her fired and was really quite happy about it, gloating about it.

Not knowing anything about this woman at all, not knowing her situation, not. knowing if she has kids at home that she has to feed, that doesn't matter. We're going to take her job away because it makes me feel like a big and powerful person. And just a quick note on that of power dynamics. Because what we're told by the left is that, well, Frederick Joseph is a black man, Emma Sarlie is a white woman. She's got some victim points because she is a woman, but she's got fewer victim points than Frederick Joseph because he's a black guy. So she has all of the, I'll all of the power in that interaction. She's the one with the power.

Well, that's interesting because it would seem to me that if you have the ability to take this unpleasant interaction you had with some stranger, and because you're mad about it, within this space of 12 hours, ruin that stranger's life, even taking her job from her,

if you have the ability to do that, whether you do it or not, it would seem like you're the one with the power in that interaction. That's what power is. Now, so we knew about all of that. And here's the latest about Joseph. It says, it should be noted that Joseph has a history of accusing white people of racism over perceived insults. Big shock there.

His Twitter account is full of random claims without evidence that white women have wronged him in some way. In one tweet, he took a picture of his car and claimed a white woman approached him while he was looking for his keys to ask him why he was standing next to the car. That didn't happen. I can tell you right now that didn't happen. Because even if she thought that he was, what, a car thief, like this is a man and he's a bigger guy. Some woman is going to come over to a man who she thinks is a criminal and say,

why, hey, say, sir, why are you committing a crime right now? Even if it was true that she jumped to that assumption, she's not going to confront him over it. So that didn't happen. And then also in another tweet, Joseph called for protesters to burn down the Kenosha Police Department during the Black Lives Matter riots. His allegations have caught media attention before. In 2020, this one is a strange one. I actually remember this when it happened, although I didn't know the guy behind all of this in his history.

But in 2020, Joseph and his family stated at Airbnb property and then claimed the house was full of seemingly satanic items and stuff for witchcraft rituals, including imagery, candles, books, et cetera, for rituals, and what looked like devil worship. Motherboard participated in a video call with the owner of the house who walked them through the home and pointed out the items Joseph claim were satanic. In reality, they were just art books and kitsy objects. The ritualistic markings on the basement floor were, in reality, just paint smudges. So this is just a bunch of stuff that this guy, pretty common when you stay like an Airbnb's or you go on vacation, you stay in someone's house. They have all kinds of They're just weird, kind of like, because they're going for just a general vibe.

They find art from thrift stores and they put it up. And that's all it was. And he claimed that this was where a witch lived and was participating in witchcraft rituals. And that got media attention. People parroted that like it was clearly true. And this guy had to go to the media and explain himself. So that's the background on Frederick Joseph. And now we finally hear from the other side of the story.

Emma Sarley has issued a statement. And before I read this statement, I'll let you, I'll give you a second to guess. What do you think? Do you think that Emma Sarley, after being targeted by this scumbag and having her life ripped to shreds for no reason by this known hoaxer, do you think that she's coming out and really defending herself and going on offense and saying, how dare you do this to me, you awful human being? You think that's what she's doing, or is she grovelling? What do you think? Well, let's find out, shall we? Sarlie's complete statement obtained by the Daily Wire says, in part,

I'm still processing everything that's happened over the last couple days, and I thought it was important to share what I saw and experienced. I absolutely accept responsibility for how I could have handled things differently in that moment. On Saturday evening, I watched a dog and into several aggressive altercations with other dogs in my local park. And as the owners of this dog were leaving, I suggested that they keep a handle on their dog while visiting this particular park.

My reference to Back to Your Hood only referred to another dog park outside of the neighborhood park. I was frustrated and upset, but just to be clear, I had no intended racial undertones in my comments whatsoever. I said it because it's an unstated rule

at our local park that when a dog is being aggressive, owners immediately remove them so it can be calm, welcoming environment for everybody else. However, I fully understand how my words could have been misinterpreted, and I deeply wish

I had chosen them more carefully. A brief and thoughtless moment in my life has now led to nationwide outrage and hurt. For that, I am sorry. I want to clarify that I never threatened to call the police. I never went on a tirade as the dog owners followed me down the street. With the phone camera on, I was filled with some panic because I'd never been in an altercation like that and reacted in an inappropriate way. I've lived in New York for a decade. My Brooklyn neighborhood and dog park is extremely diverse, something I truly love about this city. And I never meant for my words to contribute to pain for anyone. I truly hope we can find understanding and a peaceful resolution. to this for everybody involved.

Oh, Emma. Yeah, there's a nice, peaceful resolution for Frederick Joseph. He rides off into the sunset. He got the attention that he wanted. He got his vengeance on you. He was able to exert this power over you. And he got his, you know, rocks off doing that. That's apparently his fetish, it would seem,

is embarrassing and shaming white women. He seems to really have a thing for that in particular. So, yeah, it's a peaceful resolution for him, but your life is destroyed. And even more so now, because you didn't defend yourself. Yeah, you didn't say that you didn't come out and confess to racism exactly, but you took responsibility. You took all the fault and blame on yourself. What do you think is going to happen?

do you think the social media mob that a day ago was happy to ruin your life, not knowing anything about you, happy to take your job from you, not knowing? I mean, again, they don't know if you have kids. They don't know if, you know, you have some sort of medical condition that you need to, you need a doctor for. Now they've taken your health insurance away from you, too. I mean, the consequences of taking somebody's job are dire. It doesn't mean that nobody should ever lose their job, but. Before you set out to do that to someone, you better have a damn good reason. And there wasn't one in this case. So what do you think, Emma? Do you think that the people that did that to you and Frederick Joseph himself, you think they're going to see this statement and say, oh, gee, all right, I guess it was a misunderstanding. And she said she's apologized and everything's fine. Let me call up his employer and say, you know, you should hire her back.

She's a good egg after all. No, they're going to sit back smugly and cross their arms. nod their heads and say, good. Yeah. I hope you learned your lesson. You deserve to have your, you still, but you still deserve to have your life ruined.

It's just, it's hard. And I, and then I, and then I want to have compassion. I want to feel sorry for the Emma Sarlies of the world. But, but I can't. I just can't find it in myself. If you won't defend yourself, then what can the rest of us do?

All right. From the Daily Wire, it says, the editor of the leading medical journal, The Lancet, which embroiled itself in, controversy when it referred to women as bodies with vaginas on the cover of one of its September issues apologized Monday for causing offense but chose to defend the obtuse phrasing used of the publication. The weekly medical journal called women bodies with vaginas in an article

titled periods on display for the September 1st issue. The quote, historically, the anatomy and physiology of bodies with vaginas have been neglected. And it was featured on the cover. But the Lancet was met with criticism for many who argued that the journal was itself. marginalizing women by referring to them in such a strange manner. And there was some pushback against that, and that's reasonable pushback, there should be pushback. And this is what Richard Horton, the editor-in-achief, this is what he said.

The Lancet strives for maximum inclusivity of all people in its vision for advancing health. In this instance, we have conveyed the impression that we have dehumanized and marginalized women. Those to read the Lancet regularly will understand that this would never have been our intention. I apologize to our readers who were offended by the cover, and the use of those same words in the review.

At the same time, I want to emphasize that transgender health is an important dimension of modern health care, but one that remains neglected. Trans people regularly face stigma, discrimination, exclusion in poor health, often experiencing difficulties accessing proper health care. And then he went on. So he allegedly apologized, but then went on, of course, to defend the phrasing of bodies with vaginas. He says that people have accused us of dehumanizing women. And that's exactly what you've done.

More so than that, it's kind of a deep, it's a depersoning. You know, you're treating women as if they are not whole, complete persons, but rather, as you say, just bodies with vaginas. This, for decades, right, this supposedly has been the mission of feminism and the mission of the left, supposedly. was to militate against this kind of dehumanizing objectification of women. I mean, can you imagine it in a different context, even just a few years ago? Or even today, if it was in a different context. And someone said, ah, you know, women, they're just bodies with vaginas. If it was some, let's say some womanizing man who was accused of being a sexist,

so what does it matter? They're just bodies with vaginas. That's how I'm treating them. That would be seen as totally, utterly dehumanizing. course, that's exactly what it is. All right, let's move now to reading the YouTube comments. Who's rocking VolgaDot and Flannel Church without shame? Do you know that name? They're the sweet baby game. Dana says, I finally got the courage to come out to my wife. She just couldn't understand it and has been really hard on us in our marriage.

I hope telling my parents about being in the sweet baby gang goes better. Well, I understand this may have caused marital strife, Dana, but it was in the end. it was worth it. Captain Cangaroo says, Matt, choosing the second cheapest wine perfectly justifies why his wife occasionally roasts him on Twitter. Look, that's, I find that to be a strategy that has not failed me. Because when I go in for the wine, I already know the cheapest wine is going to be pretty bad. I don't want to spend on the more expensive stuff. So I just, that's, it's not just wine, by the way. That's my approach to almost everything in life, everything, certainly everything that I buy. obviously my clothes.

I just go, okay, there's the cheapest level. I'm going one up. So you can't accuse me of being the cheapest. I'm going, I'm classing it up just one smidge. And, you know, I think it also makes you a more content and happier person, although people would rarely accuse me of being a content and happy person. But still, when you, because the problem is when you have sort of developed your tastes in wine, in like steak, in whiskey and anything, then your life just becomes much more

expensive. So what I do is I stay away from those top shelf things as much as I can. And then I don't know what I'm missing. That's my strategy. All right. Colin Sims says, regarding the opening segment, Matt didn't mention the masculine versus feminine aspect. Masculine bullying is pushing the other kid into a locker. Feminine bullying relies on character assassination. Basically liberal society, especially those of the upper echelons, has skewed dramatically toward the feminine, which is why you see so much of these tactics and cancel culture. So in this case, the black guy making the cell phone video was simply auditioning for a spot in the mean girls click and opening to accrue the benefits such as higher book sales. A couple of people in the comments made that point about how,

you know, I was saying that bullying has changed now because the bully takes on sort of effects powerlessness, pretends to be powerless, pretends to be the offended one where it used to be bullies were just straightforward and they were trying to cause offense. And that's how they, that's how they beat you. And a few people in comments pointed out that in another way, I can remember back in my day in high school that this form of bullying, this more sort of this reverse psychology method, this passive-aggressive method, yeah, that's how girls bullied each other.

And so it has become, maybe that's a better, maybe that is true. Instead of, you know, instead of bullying completely changing, it's become more feminine in a certain way. All right, Juliet says, Matt, by leaving my shopping carts all over the supermarket parking lot, I'm creating jobs for the cart boys. If we all took care of the carts ourselves, they'd all be fired. I'm a job creator. Juliet, I've heard that excuse a million times.

And that doesn't even work anymore because a lot of these places, quite clearly, don't hire people specifically to return their carts. That was a job that I had a long time ago. first job, in fact, as a working man, or I was a boy at the time. And I think I was 13 years old. And that's what I did. I was in the parking lot and I collected the carts and I made sure that parking lot of the parking lot was pristine. A lot of these places don't have those kind of jobs anymore. Even if they do, that does not relieve you of your own social responsibility. So I don't want to hear that. And you are banned from the show. Finally, Ryan says, Matt, how do you balance out the fact that

you make fun of adults who watch superhero movies and call them childish? And yet, you watch football, a child's game, or men and tides jump on top of each other. Some might call that pretty childish too. At least you can't deny that it's the same kind of thing. No, they're the same kind of thing if they're not in moderation. So you could find an analog between someone who's obsessed with an adult who's obsessed with comic book films and spends all their time obsessing over cartoons and comic books and an adult who's obsessed with sports and spends all of their time watching sports, thinking about sports, talking about sports, that's all they care about. Those are analogous situations because those are adults who for them, the only thing they care about

or the primary thing they care about in life is entertainment. And so they have found their identity in being entertained. And there are many problems with that. One of them is that it's passive. You've found a passive identity where you sit back and and wait for someone or something to entertain you. And that's your whole identity. So if you're doing that, it doesn't matter what the thing is.

Whether it's sports or superheroes or anything. If your primary purpose in life, if you derive meaning primarily from being entertained from forms of entertainment, then that's a problem. And that's a recipe for an unfulfilling life and for an adult who is not a real adult and is not well adjusted and is not mature and is not going to experience the deeper joys in life.

So that's the comparison. But as far as superhero films versus sports in general, I think there are a lot of crucial differences. I mean, for one thing, sports are a more naturally communal form of entertainment. I sit with my family and we'll watch the game. You could go to a stadium and you're with your city, you know, and you're watching the game together.

Now, you can watch superhero movies together, but it's not exactly the same kind of thing. I mean, sports teams are tied to a city, and usually you are a fan of that team because you live in that city or that city at one point. You know, maybe you grew up in that city, and so it ties you to your community. Not in a very significant way, but it's still there is that communal tie that doesn't exist with superheroes. Also, when you're watching professional athletes, there are plenty of them that are whiny and annoying

and are just in it for the money, that's true. But you're still watching people who have dedicated their lives to being excellent at something and they're very, very good at what they're doing and this is the pinnacle of all of that hard work. And so you're watching that and you're kind of admiring the excellence. But with superhero movies, like none of these actors or in superhero movies,

They're doing it for the paycheck and nothing else. This is not a, you know, they didn't get into acting, hoping one day to put on a costume and run around pretending to punch bad guys. This for them is just, this is a sellout thing they're doing for the money. I can't blame them. But this is not, this might be, these might be excellent graphics. These might be excellent special effects. But it's not artistic excellence as opposed to the athletic excellence of sports. That's my rationalization off the top of my head.

I think it's pretty good. I'm almost convinced by it. Now we have a new sponsor on the show. I'm very excited about Planet Fitness. Maybe you've heard there's an obesity epidemic in this country, and there certainly is, you know, the thing is when you're overweight, not only does that cause all kinds of health problems, but also you just don't feel, you don't feel right,

Now let's get to our daily cancellation. So today is the day finally for our rally at the Loudoun County School Board in Virginia. We're going to be speaking out against radical gender ideology of the school system and the abuse and indoctrination of children. As you know, if you've been listening over the last several days,

the school board has pulled out all the stops to prevent this from happening. They can't do anything to stop the rally, but they can change the rules to at least make it more difficult for some of us to speak during the meeting itself. That's why late last week, after already shortening the speaking time for each person to 60 seconds, they announced that only residents of Loudoun County would be allowed to address the school board. It was around the same time, quite incidentally, that I decided to rent a place in Loudoun County and fulfill my lifelong dream of becoming a Virginia resident. Fortunately, just by habit stance, that also means that I can still speak at the meeting. It's funny how, you know, things just work out that way. In fact,

We flew out to Virginia, where I am a legal resident, last night, and it just feels great to be home. I've mostly sort of been hanging out in Virginia today, doing Virginia-type stuff, chilling with my fellow Virginians, getting into all kinds of Virginia shenanigans and hijinks, the kinds of things you'd have to be a Virginian to understand. We're a pretty wacky bunch, us Virginians. Now, in any case, getting off the plane was a strange experience because we happened to emerge into the terminal to see my own face on the TV as Fox 5 in D.C. happened to be airing a report about all this right at that moment. And I think it's worth playing the report here. So check it out.

Hey, Rob, so we just heard from this person on WMAL this morning talking about how he spoke out at his own Board of Education meeting in Tennessee. Well, now the same person wants to speak here so badly tomorrow that he apparently took out a lease in the neighborhood to be eligible to do so. This person, this is Matt Wall, she tweeted, how do you do fellow Virginians after telling his over 672,000 Twitter followers about his new lease in the area. Walsh is a conservative blogger and podcaster who has been more vocal about the Loudoun County Schools' transgender policy. He's also arguing that those with no children in the district should be able to decide what happens in LCPS because LCPS receives federal funding and he is an American taxpayer.

The Laudan County School Board speaker change was announced late last week and at a previous June in Lowndon County Schools meeting. We know tensions erupted. That meeting ended up making national headlines. Speakers are now being asked to show some sort of proof that they are either a county public school student, a guardian of one, a county resident or a business owner. A press release sent by the school board said that this was to prevent, quote, out of town agitators who would make board meetings a platform for national politics or to enhance their media profiles, end quote. First of all, I hate to nitpick here, but I can't help but point out that this local news report criticizing me for not being a local, even though I'm a Virginia resident in good standing, did misspell the name of Loudoun County in their, in their Chiron as they introduced this segment. Now, as a resident of Loudoun County, I take exception to that. I'm tired of it personally. Literally every day that I've been a resident of Loudoun County, there's been a news report misspelling the name. I'm sick of it.

These are the kinds of things we deal with here in Loudoun County, my home. But things get worse from there because the next Kairon misgenders me twice, calling me a Tennessee man. Nobody at Fox 5 in D.C. contacted me to ask about my gender. If they had, I would have informed them that my gender is Virginia resident. In fact, they even misgendered me a third time calling me a blogger. I haven't identified as a blogger in many years. So please stop deadnaming me. This is violence. The truth is that I have been a Virginian, wrapped in a Tennessean's body for too long. And it feels good to finally live my truth openly, though I have never, though I have been appalled by the bigotry I've encountered ever since coming out as a trans-Virginian. Despite all of the progress we've made, there are still people who are

not prepared to accept those of us who are state fluid, those of us on the state spectrum. This is why we have to continue to fight for inclusion and acceptance. And I will do just that. Now let's keep watching some of this news report. Here it is. We did ask around about this today and I can tell you we did get some mixed reactions. I feel that they're taking away voices that they don't want people to be heard. And they're trying to silence someone who doesn't agree with them. I don't against, you know, anybody to attend you. Well, maybe whatever a portion is federally funded, maybe they should be allowed to speak to that extent, I guess.

Just by leasing a place so they can testify, it's just not right. If you don't have a child in the county, why would you want to testify? Now, I was not actually able to get in touch with Walsh today and put my own eyes on that lease. I was told by a school's official that the rule change was not in response to him wanting to participate. And they also told me that the school system is about 1% federally funded, by the way. Oh, the rule change was not in response to me. I believe that, I do. Just as my change of residence was in response to the rule change.

These things are all just happening on their own, disconnected, unrelated, and yet somehow our fates remained entwined in this magical dance that we call life. Sorry if I'm getting a little bit sappy on you there. You know how we Virginians can tend to be. I also appreciated how the woman complaining about me earlier in the clip was wearing a mask in her car, and she had her kid wearing a mask too. Any chance that I might have cared about her opinion went out the window when she put the mask on to drive in her own vehicle. That's one of the only advantages to masking at this point, in fact, is it's a handy cheat code, letting us know ahead of time which people we should completely ignore.

Anyway, in the end, we're all still going to be there this afternoon. And if the school board feels that we are intruders and agitators and that we're making their lives more difficult, that's good. That's the point. The fact that school boards have become battlegrounds, the fact that we're even talking about school boards at all, is a very positive development. For a long time, school boards across the country basically did whatever they want and enacted whatever policies they preferred. And at worst, there'd be like 12 people at the meeting, and maybe four of them would express mild disapproval over it. Schools and school districts were left alone to decide what they would teach kids, decide what sort of indoctrination they'd be subjected to. We would be out arguing about national politics while America's future was shaped in the schools right under the school's right under the school's.

under our noses. It's a very encouraging sign that we're finally redirecting our focus to where it actually matters. And this is ultimately the reason why I am going to Loudoun County School Board, to say my piece. It's why I'll go to any school board in the country and give my two cents. Part of the reason is that, yes, I'm already giving my two cents in the form of federal tax funding. I don't care if it's one percent. I don't care if it's one penny. But much more important, it's because the school system, more than perhaps any other institution, is in the business of deciding what sort of country we will live in, what sort of culture we will have, what sort of civilization we will have. And I have to live here in this country. And so do my kids, even if they

won't be in the school system themselves. That's why I get to contribute to the conversation and why anyone else who wants to can and should. And it's why I'll be there in Loudoun County tonight, my home. So who am I canceling at the end of all this? I guess the Loudoun County School Board. Well, that'll come later tonight. And Fox 5, D.C. and my Tennessee residents, since I'm a Virginia man now. That is until I find the next school board meeting that I want to attend. And we'll leave it there for today. Thanks for watching. Thanks for listening.
