Today on the Matt Wall Show, a woman encounters a naked man in the women's locker room and then does what so many others these days refuse to do.
She objects, loudly and publicly.
She had the courage to be sane and normal, which is something that many in our culture lack today.
We'll talk about that also.
Five headlines.
Tucker Carlson reveals that the NSA is spying on him.
A majority of the conservative, quote-unquote, justices on the Supreme Court refused to take up a case dealing with the trans bathroom issue.
And a Daily Beast reporter reveals his utter horror at the sight of families eating meals together at restaurants.
And in our Daily Cancellation, we'll discuss the brave white British man who has come out as a non-binary Korean, though many on the left have refused to accept his transracial identity, which I just think is unthinkable.
We'll talk about all of that and more today on The Matt Walsh Show.

We have reached a point where it requires courage to simply be normal.
I don't mean normal in the privacy of your own home, or when you're whispering with your friends in hushed tones, hoping that nobody hears or finds out that you possess common sense, because you wouldn't want anyone to know.
Shh!
Someone might hear us.
They'll know we have common sense.
I mean publicly normal.
It requires courage to be a normal person, going through daily life, And saying things that normal people say and reacting to things like a normal person would react.
Now, this shouldn't require any courage at all.
Normal people should act normal and say normal things by default because they're normal.
But it's become an act of courage because so many normal and sane people have gone silent and are keeping their normalcy and their sanity to themselves.
And it's because of this state of affairs that we need to make a special point of applauding the woman featured in a viral video, which you may have seen by now, loudly objecting to the sight of a naked man in the ladies' locker room at a spa in Los Angeles.
The incident unfolded, I guess, a few days ago at the Wee's Spa in LA.
The woman films herself confronting the staff at the establishment after she sees a man in the women's locker room So here's how she presents her argument.
I find it to be quite eloquent and powerful in its simplicity.
She knows that he's a man because he has, well, a penis.
And that's the first giveaway.
So here's how she presents her arguments.
I find it to be quite eloquent and powerful in its simplicity.
Let's listen now.
It's okay, it's okay for a man to go into the women's section, show his penis around other women, young little girls, underage.
Your spa, we spa, condone that.
Is that what you're saying?
Like I asked.
It's so he can stay there.
He can stay there?
What sexual orientation?
I see a d***.
It lets me know he's a man.
He is a man.
He is a man.
He is not no female.
He is not a female.
He is not a female.
Hold on.
He is not a female, sweetie.
So, to restate and summarize her argument, she says, um, I see a penis.
That lets me know he's a man.
He's not a female.
Then she repeats over and over again, he's a female, he's a female.
That really is indeed the long and short of it.
No pun intended.
He has a penis.
He's a man.
He's not a woman.
That's it.
And he shouldn't be in a place reserved for women.
They apparently even have, they have obviously locker rooms and they're labeled women, men.
He's not a woman, so he doesn't belong there.
He might say he's a woman.
He might say he feels like a woman.
He might wish he was a woman.
He might wish upon a falling star that he's a woman.
He might dream about being a woman.
He might want people to see him as a woman.
But wishes and wants and dreams and feels and likes do not change the physical reality of the situation, which is that he's a man, plain and simple.
You don't need to be a conservative to see that.
I don't know what this woman's political orientation is.
Uh, maybe she's conservative, maybe she doesn't matter.
You don't need to be right-wing to know that a dude walking around with his penis hanging out is a dude.
Any more than a scuba diver needs to be a right-wing activist in order to see that the large fish with a dorsal fin and razor-sharp teeth is a shark and not an octopus or an oyster.
This is a matter of the most basic reality.
There's nothing inherently political or ideological about it.
At least there shouldn't be.
This woman is merely observing reality, living in reality, and reacting to an outrageous and inappropriate situation the way that one who lives in reality should.
Now, you notice that the staff member has no argument to counter hers.
They have no rejoinder to the, he has a penis, so he's a man contention.
There is no rejoinder.
There's no counterpoint.
Reality is reality.
A little bit later in the video, a white knight rides in to try and defend the naked man showing his penis to little
girls.
And, um, here's how that went.
Are you talking about a transgender person?
There's no such thing as transgender. He has a d***.
Shut the f*** up.
Okay? He has a penis.
His penis is hanging out.
Okay, no, I'm not one.
Actually, I'm a woman who knows how to stand up and speak up for my right.
As a woman, I have a right to feel comfortable without a man exposing himself, okay?
No, you go somewhere else!
Okay, so that's right.
No, he's not a transgender.
He has a penis just like you do.
Are you, are you, are you, are you?
No.
Yeah.
Okay.
It's not okay.
Okay.
That's traumatizing to see that.
I'm a woman.
I think this is a place right here.
I'm told only for women.
So how dare you sit up here and tell me I don't have a right as a woman.
I'm telling you he has a penis, a full and testicle.
Okay.
Pure, just pure insanity.
We're standing around having a debate about whether the guy with the penis is a woman.
But we see that guy there.
He says, oh, you see, he's a transgender person.
He says with a smarmy grin as he condescends to a woman who simply wants to get changed without a creepy naked man hovering nearby.
As if that's some kind of outrageous and cumbersome request.
He's transgender, you see.
Oh, no, no, no.
He's transgender.
Yeah?
And who cares?
Who cares that he's a transgender person?
What does that mean, transgender?
Transgender refers to his psychological state.
It refers to how he allegedly views himself, which is irrelevant to everyone except him.
Locker rooms are not meant to house people based on psychological states.
It's a locker room, not a mental asylum.
If a little girl is forced to watch a grown man undress himself, it's not going to be any less traumatizing just because the grown man feels a certain way inside.
Oh, no, you see, little girl, this is how I feel.
It's not about how you feel.
That's not the point.
Now, this is obvious and only needs to be explained to people who have made the decision to delude themselves, which is why it's useless explaining it, really.
Instead, normal and sane people need to stand up, be loud, and treat this insanity with the contempt and derision it deserves, as this lady did.
The problem is that normalcy and sanity are so taboo these days that even those who protest the insanity will often try to reinforce the insanity as they protest it.
So a perfect example can be found in a different incident in this same spa a few years ago.
And I haven't seen this mentioned by any, this story's gotten some coverage in other publications.
I haven't seen anyone mention this.
There's a Yelp review, which is from 2018.
So it's not like this was just written yesterday.
A Yelp review for the WeSpa in Los Angeles, 2018.
And it sounds pretty familiar.
This is what it says.
Reading now.
It says, quote, I would give this place five stars a week ago, but last night I had the most disturbing experience in the women's locker room.
Upon checking in, the clerk advised us that there was a transgender male in the women's locker room.
Okay, no problem.
I'm not the type to discriminate against people, but once in the women's area, I saw the mentioned transgender individual.
In all his glory, and still had a male organ hanging there.
Okay, no fuss.
That surgery is very expensive.
Anyway, so I go about my routine, and I get to the shower room.
He was almost next to me showering, too.
When I start to overhear the conversation that he's having with a lady that was also in the shower area, I clearly heard him say that he has had sex with probably 100 women, and that he was looking for a female girlfriend to share his time with.
He also mentioned that he uses cocaine and LSD to relax.
Okay, not my business what he uses to relax, but hey, a transgender person does not act like a guy around women, nor do they state how much they like women or how much they like having sex with them.
This guy is not transgender.
He seems to be just a pervy.
In quotes, pervy.
And given his accent, he's from another country.
Europe, I believe.
I like how she equates those two things, by the way, being a pervy and being from the country of Europe, but we'll leave that aside.
Yeah, he's a pervy, one of those people from Europe.
Not that I'm disagreeing with her.
Or assumptions.
Anyway, I heard from other ladies there that he goes there quite often.
I have nothing against gay people or transgender, etc., but every gay guy I know uses the men's locker room when in the spa.
Management said that according to the law, there was nothing they could do.
Yes, they can reserve their right to provide services to anyone that's not against the law.
They can't deny entrance to this person based on his behavior, or they can deny entrance to this person based on his behavior, not on his gender.
I enjoy going to the Wii Spa, and it's not fair to me or other women to be put in this position when you basically have to leave the spa because you feel uncomfortable in such a situation.
I wouldn't have minded the situation at all if the guy was really transgender, but obviously he's not.
Hmm.
You wouldn't have minded him swinging his penis all around as long as he really felt like a woman while he did it.
So you've got a strange man with a penis showering next to you in the women's locker room and you wouldn't have minded that as long as he really felt like a woman.
What?
That doesn't make any sense at all.
Have you ever once objected to a biological woman in the women's locker room on the basis that she might have felt like a man?
I mean, have you ever been in a women's locker room and listened to the conversations that a woman was having, an actual woman, and then come to the judgment that, well, she's not really a woman inside, and she doesn't belong here, and therefore I don't feel comfortable getting changed around her?
No, obviously not.
You have a problem.
With sharing a locker room with a naked man because he's a man.
And you should have a problem with that.
There could be no other reason to object.
There doesn't need to be any other reason.
Those are all the reasons you need.
And yet this person, like so many others, feels that they can't just come out As the woman in the video did, and straightforwardly say, this is a man, I don't care how he feels, that's irrelevant, he shouldn't be getting naked around a bunch of women and young girls.
Period.
In our day and age, sanity pays tribute to insanity.
So often.
Even as sanity meekly asserts itself, it feels that it still must validate the very insanity that it's objecting to.
Which is to say that sanity surrenders.
Because when you object to a man in a women's locker room on the basis that he doesn't really feel like a woman, The problem with having men and allowing transgender men in the women's locker room is that what if someone's pretending to be transgender?
That's the problem.
You hear this from conservatives all the time.
Again, you don't have to be conservative to object, but that is a way that conservatives will often couch their arguments.
I don't have any problem with genuine transgenders, but what if someone's pretending?
You know, people always ask me what we can do to save ourselves from civilizational collapse, reverse the tide, reclaim the culture, et cetera, et cetera.
Well, if there's any hope of anything like that happening, it has to start with doing what this woman did, which in any other time or place would have been totally unremarkable.
We have to be sane and normal in public.
Now, if you want a solution that will absolve you of the duty to be publicly sane, And yet will allow you to enjoy a cultural victory that you've done nothing to help achieve, then you'll be disappointed because no such solution exists.
One of the major problems in our society today is that sanity has retreated.
There is no solution that will allow it to remain in hiding.
It has to come out into the open and be loud and make demands and state very basic truths Like the truth that the person showing his penis in a locker room is not a woman.
That truth is one of many that shouldn't need to be said.
But it does.
And we're the ones who have to say it.
Now let's get to our five headlines.
[MUSIC]

All right, let's begin here.
On his show last night, Tucker Carlson made a shocking statement.
I call it shocking Shocking at least if you're utterly oblivious and naive.
But either way, this is what he said.
The war on terror, now ongoing for 20 years, has pivoted in its aims.
The war on terror is now being waged against American citizens, opponents of the regime.
We saw this on display on January 6th.
We told you a couple of weeks ago, based on language and publicly available indictments, that the FBI clearly had foreknowledge of the riot at the Capitol that day.
And the agents we spoke to this weekend confirmed that is true.
Quote, the FBI had sources in that crowd.
Confidential sources.
Snitches.
That's 100% certain.
But it's not just political protesters the government is spying on.
Yesterday we heard from a whistleblower within the U.S.
government who reached out to warn us that the NSA, the National Security Agency, is monitoring our electronic communications and is planning to leak them in an attempt to take the show off the air.
Now that's a shocking claim and ordinarily we'd be skeptical of it.
It's illegal for the NSA to spy on American citizens.
It's a crime.
It's not a third world country.
Things like that should not happen in America.
But unfortunately they do happen and in this case they did happen.
The whistleblower, who is in a position to know, repeated back to us information about a story that we are working on that could have only come directly from my texts and emails.
There's no other possible source for that information, period.
The NSA captured that information without our knowledge and did it for political reasons.
The Biden administration is spying on us.
We have confirmed that.
So I think what you hear, there are going to be two strategies from the left in responding to these claims.
There already has been.
It's really one and then the other.
The first is to just deny it and say there's no way this is true.
Our intelligence agencies would never do such a thing.
These are benevolent.
Our intelligence agencies are benevolent and kind.
Even though we know that the NSA spies on American citizens, that's been confirmed.
We already know that.
They would never do that.
This is absurd.
Even some so-called conservatives, Jonah Goldberg among them, Came out immediately after this segment aired and say, no way, didn't happen, can't be true.
Not the NSA I know.
Come on.
I've known this NSA.
These are, this, this is a, these are good people.
They would never do such a thing.
So that's the first strategy, is just to, is to, is to accuse Tucker Carlson of, what, making this up?
This whole story, making it up out of thin air?
But then when, um, More evidence is presented that even they can't deny, they're going to immediately switch course and say, okay, they're spying on him, but I'm glad they are because he's a terrorist.
You're kind of seeing a little bit of both right now.
Doing the whole thing that this isn't true, but even if it was, it would be fine.
But you'll see, The stark change in course eventually.
When it becomes undeniable this is actually happening, did happen, that's when they'll say, yeah, I'm glad it did.
And the left is moving to that more and more of embracing these, a display of power like this.
This is one of the reasons why As we always talk about, pointing out the hypocrisy of the left doesn't really accomplish much because the hypocrisy is the point.
It's all about power.
And they have the power and the culture, so they're allowed to have one standard for themselves and another standard for you.
And when you point out the hypocrisy, their answer in so many words is, yeah, thanks for noticing.
You're right.
That's exactly right.
We're in control.
You aren't.
Do what we said because we said so.
Do as we say, not as we do.
You know, it's a power move.
And eventually you'll see the same thing with this kind of thing.
Yeah, you're damn right.
You get up there saying things we don't like night after night.
You have the gall to do that.
You're the most successful cable news show on TV by a mile.
We can't allow that to happen.
We're going to use all the tools at our disposal to take you down.
All right, now this is from the AP.
Says the U.S.
Supreme Court on Monday rejected a Virginia school board's appeal to reinstate its transgender bathroom ban, handing a victory to transgender rights groups and a former high school student who fought in court for six years to overturn the ban.
After learning that the high school, the high court, rather refused to hear the board's appeal, Gavin Grimm, now 22, said that, quote unquote, his, long battle is over.
We won, honored to have been part of this victory.
Grim was a 15-year-old student at Gloucester High School when he was banned from using the boy's bathroom.
Again, air quotes around he.
I'm reading the language in the AP article.
The Gloucester County School Board's policy required Grim to use restrooms that corresponded with his biological sex, which is female, or private bathrooms.
Grimm filed a federal lawsuit that wound its way through the court for six years.
Grimm said that being forced to use the nurse's room, a private bathroom, and the girls' restroom was humiliating and severely interfered with his education.
So, many concessions were made by the school.
More concessions than I would make if I was running the school board.
If I'm in charge, girls' bathroom, boys' bathroom, you're a girl, that's where you go.
You don't like it, it makes you feel uncomfortable, that's your issue.
You gotta sort that out.
That's not an issue for us to solve.
But they went beyond that and they said, we will find you private bathrooms.
You can have your own bathroom all to yourself.
You know what?
What high schooler wouldn't love to have that?
Get your own bathroom?
I mean, the bathrooms everyone uses, those are all grimy and gross, and there's, you know, people writing all over the bathroom stalls, and it's just, it's not a pleasant situation.
We'll give you your own private one.
Multiple private, wherever you happen to be in the building.
We'll make sure there's not one far away that you can use all, it's all yours.
Oh, but that's not good enough.
No.
And anyway, continuing, it says, Grimm said that being forced to use the nurse's room, a private bathroom in the girls' restroom, was humiliating and severely interfered with his education, her education.
The Supreme Court left in place lower court rulings that found the policy unconstitutional.
Justices Samuel Alito and Clarence Thomas voted to hear the board's appeal.
So, only Thomas and Alito wanted to even hear this case.
The rest of the Supreme Court justices didn't want to go anywhere near it, including the other so-called conservatives on the court, including all three of the so-called conservatives that Trump appointed.
This, by the way, is supposed to be, when I ask, you know, what are Donald Trump, four years in office, two of which he had Republican control of the whole government, what are his lasting achievements?
Because there were a lot of sort of minor achievements that were, that the Biden administration overturned in like 30 seconds.
So what are his lasting achievements?
And the answers I usually get are tax cuts.
Fantastic.
That's what Republicans always give you.
Uh, and then Supreme court justices.
Well, if, if he whiffed on all three, three Supreme court justices, then what are we left only tax cuts.
Because there's no reason, I mean, the idea that you have a constitutional right, a constitutional right to access whatever bathroom you want, dependent on your psychological state.
This is an outrageous idea.
That any true conservative or originalist or whatever label you want to put on it, in a position on the Supreme Court, should want to hear this case.
But they won't go anywhere near it.
So as it stands right now, this remains intact.
It is unconstitutional that man With his penis hanging out in the... It would be unconstitutional to tell him to go to the men's locker room.
Where is this constitutional right?
Where in the Constitution exactly do you find the God-given right to access whatever bathroom you want according to your psychological state?
I would love to get an answer to that question, but we're not going to get an answer right now anyway because the Supreme Court and these conservative justices won't even touch it, won't go anywhere near it.
Fantastic.
All right, staying in the realm of LGBT stuff, the NFL put out a commercial in honor of Pride Month, which they're coming in here at the 11th hour.
I was starting to get a little concerned because we're getting to the end of Pride Month.
We only got a few days left and the NFL hadn't put out a Pride commercial yet.
Yeah, they changed their logo on Twitter and they put the rainbow flag and all that.
But that's not enough.
We need the Virtue Signaling commercial.
And finally, at the very last minute, they come in and they've got the commercial.
And let's watch it.
I'll have to narrate a little bit because it's just words on the screen.
But let's watch this commercial.
So it says, football is gay.
Football is gay.
Football is lesbian.
Football is beautiful.
Football is queer.
Football is life.
Football is bi- It's going too fast.
Football is bisexual.
Football is American.
Football is accepting.
Football is everything.
Football is for everyone.
Football is bisexual.
What in the world does that mean, exactly?
Football is everything.
No, football isn't everything.
Football is really a particular thing.
It's a game with certain rules, and that's all that football is.
It's not anything bigger than that.
But, you know, everything is everything now.
Nothing can just be what it is.
You can't have a thing, and it's that thing, and that's it, and it's nothing else.
Everything has to be everything.
Everything is whatever I feel like it should be for me.
Which is to say that everything is nothing.
And nothing is anything.
Are you confused yet?
I am.
That's, of course, part of the point.
I want to read this to, moving on, Daily Beast columnist Wajahat Ali.
Always with a lot of great insight coming from this guy.
And he tweeted this a couple days ago, got a lot of attention.
He said, I feel America has forgotten that we're still in the middle of a pandemic that has killed more than 600,000 people, and there's a deadly Delta Plus strain, and our kids are still not vaccinated.
Sigh.
I see packed restaurants and people inside stores and malls, and their kids aren't wearing masks.
I feel I'm in a horror movie.
First of all, what kind of boring horror movies are you watching?
Oh yeah, we know those horror movies where people are spending time with their kids and their families and their friends and they're eating at restaurants and they're having barbecues and they're going to the pool and they have a good time and then they go home and everything is fine and they go to bed.
The end.
You know those horror movies?
You know the horror movies where like nothing bad happens and everything's okay?
Because that's at these these packed restaurants.
I've been to a lot of these packed restaurants.
We got a ton of them here in Nashville.
And I think it's great.
I never would have before all of this.
I don't think I ever walked into a packed busy place and thought this is awesome.
I'm so glad that all these people are here.
That's one positive thing that's come of this.
It's maybe it's, it's, it's actually made me slightly less inherently antisocial and that'll probably wear off.
But for right now, there's still the novelty of it.
So I walk into a place and I see tons of people walking around and I think this is, you know, this is awesome.
Uh, but all of those packed restaurants, these packed places, nothing bad is happening, at least in terms of the virus.
There are no mass outbreaks.
Everything is fine.
And by the way, we're still in the middle of a pandemic.
No, we're not.
In this country, no, we're not.
Not by any reasonable definition of the term pandemic.
And of course we're not.
We've got tens of millions of people vaccinated.
Many more millions of people already immune because of prior exposure.
And that's good.
We should be happy about that.
Of course we should be happy.
But just think of the mentality.
This is like, talk about movies.
I mean, this is like a comic book movie villain.
You know in the comic book movies, the villains, they always want to destroy the world and they hate everybody and it's never explained exactly why.
Well, it's because they're the villain and this is the role that they play.
And that's Wajahat Ali.
And a lot of people on the left who are clinging on to the pandemic desperately.
They don't want it to go away.
They do not want it to go away.
They lived through the pandemic and they're sad to see it go.
And now they see people enjoying themselves in a totally safe way, and they're angry.
As curmudgeonly as I am, I can't even imagine that.
I can't imagine.
I cannot even get myself into the mental state where I could see a family sitting at a restaurant, having a good time, laughing, enjoying themselves, and getting mad about it.
Or be horrified.
And I would like to think that this dude is, this is a put-on and he's pretending to react this way for political reasons.
And that might be part of it.
But I actually think that this is a sincere reaction.
These people have conditioned themselves.
And it might never change.
I mean, these are broken people and they might be broken forever.
Where they're never going to be able to function in society again.
Just simply the sight of lots of people having a good time horrifies them down to their bones, in their souls, they're
horrified by it.
I cannot think of a more anti-human disposition for a person to have.

I wanted to play this to Scotty Pippen, a former NBA player, was on with Dan Patrick yesterday discussing a Bulls playoff game in 1994 where the final shot was given to a white player to shoot rather than to him, to Scotty Pippen.
And he's still mad about it.
This is, you know, we're going on 30 years ago, and he's still angry about it.
He's decided that the Lakers coach at the time, the legendary Phil Jackson, is a racist because of it.
And he's still stewing over this racism.
Let's watch this interview.
I'm just going by what you said.
You said you need to read between the fine lines, and then you go on to say it was a racial move to give him, Tony Kukoc, a rise.
So, I mean, if you knew that Scottie Pippen had been with the Bulls from 87, battled through the Pistons, and every other team that we had to get to those three championships, wouldn't you give Scottie Pippen one opportunity to get a last-second shot without Michael Jordan?
One year without Michael Jordan.
Can I get one shot?
Like, I'm doing all the dirty work.
But all of that I understand from the basketball standpoint.
But when you say a racial move... Well, why would Tony, who was a rookie, get the last second shot and you put me up for balance?
That's what I mean, racial.
Like, that was Scottie Pippen's team.
Scottie Pippen was on pace to be an MVP that year, right?
OK, well, why would you put him in a position not to be successful?
Why wouldn't you put him in a position to succeed?
Micah Jordan is not there.
So who's next in line for you?
But have you talked to Phil about this?
Because by saying a racial move, then you're calling Phil a racist.
I don't got a problem with that.
Do you think Phil was or is?
Oh, yeah.
Why didn't I get the last shot?
Why'd you give it to him?
Dude, this was 30 years ago.
Get over it.
That's the first thing.
Stop referring to yourself in the third person.
That's the other thing.
Three decades later, and this guy is not over the fact he didn't get the last shot in a basketball game.
Yeah, some of these Professional sports legends after... It's really depressing to see them after... Michael Jordan's the same way.
These guys were on the same team.
Who can forget Michael Jordan at his Hall of Fame acceptance speech?
And he's still complaining about his high school basketball coach.
And the ways that he was wronged by people when he was a kid.
Still stewing over it.
You're in the Hall of Fame now.
Move on with your life.
You won.
It's really sad and pathetic to see sometimes, but he says it was all racism.
He's decided that it was all racism.
As far as I know, he's never made this claim before, you know, in the 30 years prior.
Now he's decided it was all racism, and you see two things from that.
First of all, you know, there was a time not all that long ago where to call someone like Phil Jackson a racist Yeah, legendary coach, very prominent figure in the sports world.
To call him a racist, especially for another prominent person, sports legend, sort of, to call him a racist, that's a big deal.
You don't do that on a whim.
There was a time when that was the case.
There was a time when a prominent person calling another prominent person racist was attention-grabbing.
And everybody would stop and say, whoa!
Hang on here!
And if you were to make that claim about someone, and this is back when the claim had some kind of meaning to it, if you were to make that claim, you better bring some proof.
But now we're so used to it that guys like Scottie Pippen, first of all, think nothing of just tossing that out there.
He's not even fully committing to the racism label.
He's just saying, yeah, yeah, I don't have a problem with that.
Well, yeah, you're the one who said it.
I guess you don't have a problem with it.
Yeah, sure.
Sure, he's a racist.
He's kind of shrugging his shoulders.
Eh, we'll call him a racist.
What's the big deal?
In a way, it's kind of not a big deal anymore because everyone's a racist.
As we said before, everything is everything, so everything is nothing.
Everyone's a racist, so nobody's a racist.
The word just doesn't mean anything.
But what you also see is how this is all that racism has become.
If you're a non-white person and someone does something to you that you don't like, it's racist.
Because this is simply the framework that we're operating with now.
That is the first explanation that you go to and it's the only one.
And the only evidence that you need is, well look at his skin color, look at mine, I didn't like it, it's racist.
Alright, before we move on to reading the comments, I do have a After all this time off, there's been a lot of crazy stuff posted to TikTok.
I've missed a lot of it.
Unfortunately, I can't go back and cover it all.
But let's check in on one of my favorite TikTok genres.
This is the TikTok sing-along, the TikTok song.
Very often, these are songs about getting vaccinated, and big fan of them.
Here's the hottest new joint on TikTok.
Let's give it a listen.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
[MUSIC - "TRIBE SUPPORTER"]
I got to say, I don't totally hate it.
I can't believe I... I'm having all these confusing feelings because you expect to hate it and it's kind of catchy.
As far as... I don't like the message, okay, but as far as these things go, the bar is pretty low.
As far as these TikTok videos go, it at least succeeds in being catchy.
Can we admit that?
Can we all, don't leave me out here hanging, okay?
Don't pretend.
Like I said, let's all have the courage to be normal and sane people.
We can admit that it was kind of a catchy hook at least.
That'll be stuck in your head.
You know it will.
You're gonna find yourself singing that later on today.
Don't shoot the messenger.
You're all gonna pretend you hated that.
You're pretending.
It wasn't terrible.
That's all.
That's all I'm saying.
Okay.
Uh, this guy's going places.
He's got some talent.
You know, before we went on our, uh, on our long car trip, uh, I had a few things that needed to be fixed on the car and that's why I went, you know, where I went, I went to rockauto.com.
That's where I always go because that's so much easier and it's going to be a more immediate solution and easier solution and cheaper solution to your problem that you have with your car than going to, uh, an auto parts store and wandering around looking for the
part, you're not going to find it.
Why waste your time?
Rockauto.com always offers the lowest prices possible rather than changing prices or just
trying to see how much they can get out of you.
They're not going to do that.
If you see it at rockauto.com, you have peace of mind knowing that that's the lowest price
you're going to find it anywhere.
They've been serving auto parts customers online for 20 years.
You can go to rockauto.com right now to shop for auto and body parts from hundreds of manufacturers.
The catalog is very unique.
It's very easy to navigate, even for an idiot like myself.
You can quickly see all the parts available for your car or truck.
You can also choose the brands, specifications, and prices you prefer.
Make it very easy, make it very affordable.
What's to lose?
Nothing.
So go to rockauto.com right now, see all the parts available for your car or truck.
And remember, as always, to write Walsh in their how-did-you-hear-about-us box so they know that we sent you.
Let's move on now to reading the YouTube comments.
Annie Shoot says, quoting me, she says, in a healthy country, she would be kicked off the team.
I was referring to the O-o-olympic athlete who turned her back on the flag.
Whatever her name was.
Gwen something.
Gwen Barry, wasn't it?
I said she should be kicked off the team.
Annie Shoot says, for what?
I don't understand.
I thought we are against cancelling people.
Well, Annie, you're talking to a guy who literally has a segment on his show called the Daily Cancellation.
I cancel people daily.
That's why we call it the Daily Cancellation.
I never said I'm against cancelling people.
I don't know where you got that from.
That's a thing that some silly conservatives say.
Oh, we shouldn't be cancelling anyone.
No, I'm not against... I am not against cancelling people in principle.
I am against cancelling people for the wrong reasons.
That's what I'm against.
Okay?
And if by cancelling we mean... What would be cancelling in this case?
Kick her off the team.
We shame her.
She should be shamed and reviled and kicked off the team.
If you want to call that canceling, fine.
But that is an inappropriate reaction to her behavior.
Her behavior was embarrassing and disgraceful, and she has demonstrated that she despises the country that she's supposed to represent in the Olympics.
And we should not have athletes who openly despise our country representing us on the global stage in the Olympics.
So that is a reasonable, justified response.
I'm not against shaming people, calling for consequences for their actions.
The way some conservatives talk about it now, it's like they're pretending that they believe that nobody should ever be shamed for anything, and no one should ever face any consequences.
Stop it.
Obviously, sometimes it's just, is this A warranted reaction or not.
When we refer to cancel culture, we're talking about an unwarranted reaction.
Where someone is facing unwarranted, overblown, out of proportion backlash or consequences for doing or saying something either that wasn't wrong, Or even if it was wrong, it doesn't, it should not warrant this kind of reaction.
But yeah, doing that as an Olympic athlete up on the stage on national TV, absolutely.
And we'd be doing her a favor.
She hates this country.
She shouldn't even want to represent us in the Olympics.
We're, what are we, oppressive, bigoted, systemically racist country?
Why would you want to represent a country like that in the Olympics?
Elaine says, "Matt, can you please call us sweet babies more often?"
We miss it.
Well, look, the Sweet Baby gang is back together again.
I'll never leave you again, I promise.
Except for later on this week, I'll be leaving again, but I'll be back.
And then I'll leave periodically, but I'll always return to the Sweet Baby Gang.
That much you can count on.
Daniel says, Matt, all I want to know is, did you catch any fish on vacation?
I did catch a lot of fish.
I had a great day on the water.
Probably a great week on the water, I should say.
Probably my largest largemouth that I caught was at least six pounds.
I'm going to call it seven.
I think it was fair to call it a seven pounder.
It was the ego stroke that I needed, because I got to say, here in Tennessee, I've been struggling mightily with fishing.
Tennessee is supposed to be a fishing mecca, bass fishing mecca, one of the bass fishing capitals, along with probably Texas.
But I have been doing terrible here.
And I began to suspect that the problem was me.
But then I go, and I was on vacation, and we were up north.
It let me know that the problem is not me.
Okay.
Aaron says, Dear Matt, your Uranus joke almost killed me.
Seriously, I was mowing my grass and laughed so hard choking on my beer and almost hit a tree.
LOL.
Thank you for being the greatest commentator in the universe.
Well, I specifically said I was not making a Uranus joke.
I would never do that.
I want to be very clear.
I did not make that joke.
I was saying that I wasn't making the joke.
I was making the joke in the context of saying how I'm not going to make it.
Okay.
I'm far too mature for that.
Alan says, the thing that infuriates me about this routine of finding gay characters where there are none is that it contradicts the notion of the feminist left that friendships between men should display more kindness than explicit affection.
But when two male characters do that, they obsess with their friendship, declaring that, of course, they're lovers.
What else could they be?
A great example is Frodo and Sam.
The radical left just love these kinds of contradicting one-two punches to beat you into submission and indoctrination.
Yeah, that is a...
Clear hypocrisy, clear double standard, doesn't make any sense, it's a contradiction, but you're also correct that this is about beating us into submission.
The double standard, as we said, is the point.
Mike says, bullets have gotten expensive, so I'm keeping my death threats to a minimum.
Well, that's one reason, that's one motivation.
Our current situation with ammo does kind of remind me a little bit of what was the old Chris Rock joke where he says that he would let everyone keep their guns but make bullets cost like $500 a piece so that if someone gets shot you really know they had it coming?
Chris Rock does the joke better than I do.
Finally, another comment says, I'm commenting with feedback for the producers.
The fake photo of Matt's family on the alternate camera angle is blocking our view of Matt's beautiful biceps and the twisted steel of his muscles.
Please remove the photo.
Thank you.
Well, these are my friends and I would never take the photo down unless it blocks the view of my muscles, in which case, get out of here.
I just broke it.
It's a little more aggressive than it needs to be, but I just, I can't help myself.
I don't know my own strength.
Now you have, now you can see.
Now you get that angle that you've been, the bicep.
We could call that the bicep camera.
Really is what we should call it.
If you enjoy your history censorship-free, which is hard to find these days, then you need to make sure you're a Daily Wire member right now.
Why?
Well, because the Daily Wire is now streaming Created Equal, which is the story of Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas and his journey from Humble beginnings in a segregated South to the highest court in the land, which, by the way, he was the second black American to ever make this journey.
You don't hear about that as much in the media.

A link to your reel and or portfolio is required for consideration for both of these positions.
Now let's get to our daily cancellation.
In a stunning display of courage, a white British TikTok influencer has revealed to the world that he identifies as Korean.
Ali London is his name.
He's been getting plastic surgery for several years in an effort to, as a Newsweek article puts it, resemble their K-pop idol Jimin of BTS.
I have only a vague idea what any of those words mean, but the upshot is that now London, who also identifies as non-binary, has completed his surgical transition and is ready to fully live his life as the gender-fluid Korean that he's always been deep down.
For too long, he has had a Korean trapped inside his body, and now, with $150,000 of assistance from cosmetic surgeons, his true East Asian self has emerged, like a bruised and swollen butterfly from a fleshy cocoon.
In a video recorded just after his latest procedure, Ali explains that his surgically adjusted eyes and nose and other features now confirm, uh, confirm him as a tried and true Korean.
And I think the case that he makes is pretty bulletproof.
Let's listen.
Hello, I'm Jimin.
Hey guys, I'm finally Korean.
I've transitioned.
I'm so, so happy.
I've completed my look.
I'm finally Korean, guys.
I have the eyes.
I just had a brow lift as well.
So I'm so happy.
Finally, I've been trapped in the wrong body for eight years.
And that's the worst feeling in the world when you're trapped and you don't feel like you can be yourself.
But finally, I'm Korean.
I can be myself.
And I'm so, so happy.
I mean, he looks happy.
Finally, he is Korean.
It's as simple as that.
Bigots might voice disagreement, insisting that one must actually be from Korea, or at least have Korean citizenship, in order to be considered in any sense Korean.
They might even argue that surgically narrowing your eyes to resemble Asian facial features not only fails to make you Asian, but is also highly insulting and degrading to the real Asians, of which you are not one.
But Ali deftly countered these arguments in a series of tweets, disarming and debunking such discriminatory talking points.
He wrote, quote, Being transsexual is the same as being transracial because you're born in the wrong body.
In other tweets, he announced that, quote, trans rights are human rights, and that, quote, there are millions of underrepresented transracial people in the world, and I want to elevate their voices and help them live their truth and be themselves.
Now, these may be more assertions than arguments, more spitting slogans than making a case, but if that's been sufficient for transgender advocates, then why shouldn't it work for a transracial pioneer?
Driving the point home, Ali, I think, really vanquished his critics once and for all by dropping the ultimate progressive Trump card in a different video.
Listen.
This is my reason for showing the flag and I do identify as Korean.
This is my choice.
This is my decision.
It's not hurting anyone.
There you go.
His decision, his choice, not hurting anyone.
That's really it, right?
In the age of psychological men, when all that matters is an individual's mental states and all that you must do to justify an action is claim that the action makes you feel good and causes no direct physical harm to anyone else, whether or not the latter is actually true, the validity of a white man's transformation in that context into a genderless Korean cannot be denied.
Certainly, if you accept trans ideology, then you have absolutely no logical basis for denying Ali's truth, a truth which is grounded in the exact same premise, a truth which must indeed be true if the premise is true.
And the premise, to remind you, is that a person's physical, biological identity is totally determined by how they feel about themselves.
A man who feels like a woman is not merely a feminine man, but is actually a literal woman.
All of the physical barriers which have for millennia served to separate men from women are dissolved and discarded.
Biology is subordinated to the emotional whims of the individual.
Why should Ali's emotional whims not be afforded the same supernatural weight?
His case, based on the logic of progressivism, is airtight.
Based on the logic of, well, logic, it's not at all, but based on the logic of progressivism, it is.
And yet the left has not accepted him.
Comments on the internet about his racial transition have been overwhelmingly negative.
The Daily Wire documents a few of them.
Reading now, it says, I'm sorry, but you can't just choose to be Korean.
It's a nationality and ethnicity, tweeted one trans-identifying account.
You have to be born Korean.
Just because you like the culture doesn't mean you can take it and become it.
There is a way to appreciate a different culture.
This is not it.
Quote, as a Korean non-binary person, I haven't really talked about the Olly London thing, but the fact that they're acting like it's genuine, that it's part of a journey due to an identity issue, really irks me.
It's a mockery of trans people.
It's cultural appropriation, posted another person.
Finally, one Korean user replied that while he celebrated London's new gender identity, it's wrong for him to claim a new ethnic identity.
Korean isn't a pronoun, nor is it a persona you decide to suddenly take on because of K-pop hype.
I'm glad you identify as non-binary, and I applaud you for being transparent about that, but I can't commend you for taking a whole ethnicity and treating it like a persona.
Hmm.
Taking a whole ethnicity and treating it like a persona.
Almost like when someone takes a biological sex and treats it like that.
I don't know.
An article in the left-wing Paper Mag written by Sandra Song, editor-at-large and a fellow Korean, is just one long transphobic harangue against the entire transracial community.
Song writes, quote, As someone who actually has Korean DNA, though, I can say that some white fetishist, as proven by those 15 surgeries to look like Jimin, suddenly deeming themselves Korean is incredibly offensive, especially since it effectively trivializes our identities because they're suddenly trendy.
Apparently, though, that doesn't really register for Ali, who's continually been a notable example of Western fetishization that's objectified us based on South Korea's recent contributions to global culture.
So yeah, obviously it's pretty sus that a white person is saying they're Korean.
Now, leaving aside the embarrassing fact that the magazine's editor-at-large wrote and published the words, so yeah, and pretty sus, the real problem is that she would accuse a person of fetishizing and trivializing her identity simply because he is cartoonishly mimicking her appearance and claiming that his degraded mockery is as authentic as her own identity.
I mean, she's essentially arguing that his imitation is an imitation and thus cannot be as valid or real as the thing he is imitating.
And her points make a lot of sense, come to think of it, but unfortunately, she, like nearly everyone else in her ideological camp, has already thrown open the doors and invited men to fetishize and trivialize and mimic her identity.
It's just that she wishes the mimicry would stay contained to her sex, not her ethnicity.
The problem, though, is that sex is far more objective and far less fluid than ethnicity.
If the former can be erased, then so can the latter.
Olly London knows that, and now he's entitled to be seen as fully Korean, just as Korean as any other Korean.
Indeed, he may be even more Korean than cis Koreans like Sandra Song.
I mean, you can make that argument.
This at least was a choice that he has made, bravely.
If cis Koreans don't want to tolerate or accept trans Koreans, that's their problem and their bigotry they have to work through.
It'd be better for them to just remain silent in the meantime while the march of progress continues and all objective markers of identity are erased and human existence is reduced to a murky puddle of ambiguity.
That is the world the left wanted, and now they have it.
Congratulations.
And that is why the bigots who would deny the validity of Olly London's Korean identity are today absolutely, and with great righteous rage, cancelled.
And we'll leave it there for today.
Thanks for watching.
Thanks for listening.
Have a great day.
Godspeed.
