Today on The Matt Wall Show,

0:02

hosted yet again by me, David

0:04

Cone, young men are opting out

0:06

of college in record numbers. Higher

0:08

education continues to dilute curriculum, reducing

0:11

the benefit of diplomas. The Supreme

0:13

Court rules Donald Trump has immunity

0:15

for official acts. I apply for

0:17

a job on Dr. Jill Biden's

0:19

team live during the show and

0:21

climate activists are getting canceled. All

0:23

of that and more today on

0:26

The Matt Wall Show. The Matt

0:29

Wall Show. Saudi

0:53

Arabia recently ended its 50-year petrodollar

0:56

deal with the US, which has

0:59

the potential to weaken the US

1:01

dollar. Since 1974, Saudi

1:03

Arabia has sold oil solely in US

1:05

dollars, which was huge for our global

1:07

economic dominance. Now they want other options.

1:10

If there is less demand for the

1:12

US dollar, what happens to its value?

1:14

It's for reasons like this that I

1:17

feel it's important to diversify some of

1:19

your savings into gold. And you can

1:21

do that with the help of

1:23

Birch Gold. Right now, qualifying purchases

1:25

by July 31st are

1:28

eligible to get a one-of-a-kind, limited

1:30

edition, golden truth bomb. The only

1:32

way to claim your eligibility is

1:34

by texting WASH to 989898. Protect

1:39

your savings from diversifying away from

1:42

the US dollar with gold. Text

1:44

WASH to 989898, and

1:47

Birch Gold will help you convert an old

1:49

IRA or a 401k

1:52

into an IRA in gold for

1:54

no money out of pocket. Right

1:56

now, qualifying purchases will get

1:58

a limited edition. golden truth

2:00

bomb. Text WASH to 9-8-9-8-9-8. That's

2:04

WASH to 9-8-9-8-9-8 today. Matt

2:08

Walsh is out again today. Unfortunately,

2:10

in unrelated news, a

2:12

bearded man wearing a plaid shirt was arrested

2:14

last night for yelling at what he believed

2:16

to be a UFO. Turns out

2:19

it was his son's scooter. No worries

2:21

though, this show will go on, whether

2:23

you like it or not, with me,

2:25

David Cone, and we have much to

2:27

cover. Higher education is

2:29

failing America. Young people, and

2:31

young men in particular, are

2:33

losing faith in the country's

2:36

education system. They are opting

2:38

out of college in record numbers.

2:40

This trend has been ongoing for

2:42

some time. Now it's come to

2:44

a head. For me, this

2:46

topic is personal. Both of my

2:48

parents were university professors. Academia put

2:51

food on our table. I've witnessed

2:53

firsthand the positive effects that a

2:55

successful, a vibrant college can have

2:58

on small towns and communities. But

3:01

increasingly, the industry is weakening. The

3:03

financial implications may have yet to

3:05

be felt, but the writing is

3:08

on the wall. For the first

3:10

time in US history, our sons

3:12

will have less education than their

3:14

fathers. That statement

3:17

would have seemed unfathomable to grandfathers

3:19

like mine, who sacrificed on a

3:21

daily basis so that my parents

3:24

could get college degrees. They

3:26

did so because the return on investment was

3:28

clear. Those degrees led to

3:31

better jobs, which led to more money.

3:34

For most college grads though,

3:36

that is no longer the

3:38

case. More and more universities

3:40

have prioritized short-term profits over

3:43

the quality of knowledge

3:45

taught. They have favored

3:47

left-wing political ideology over long-standing

3:50

pursuits of truth. Here's

3:52

one report from just a few days ago

3:54

to set the stage. Now

3:57

to our second story about who is going

3:59

to college. enrollment among young Americans

4:01

has been declining over the past

4:03

decade. That decrease mostly driven

4:05

by fewer young men pursuing degrees.

4:09

A Pew Research study finds there's about one million

4:11

fewer young men now enrolled in

4:13

college as compared to 2011. Last

4:15

year among high school graduates in the U.S.,

4:17

only 57 percent of men

4:19

have enrolled in college. That's compared to

4:22

65 percent of women. It's

4:25

a trend that dates back nearly three decades. Every

4:28

year since 1996, women

4:30

have entered college at higher rates than men. The

4:33

education system as a whole doesn't seem to

4:35

be working quite as well for boys as

4:37

it is for girls. The

4:40

education gap is bigger now than it was back in

4:42

1972 when Title IX passed. What

4:45

accounts for that? The main reason

4:47

for that is that through the education

4:49

system, girls are outperforming boys.

4:51

So you can see it from the beginning, from

4:53

kindergarten, all the way through high school. And so

4:55

if you look at, for example, high school GPA,

4:58

which is a very good measure of success, take

5:00

the top 10 percent of high school students, two-thirds

5:03

of them are girls. According

5:05

to census data, more women than men have

5:07

college degrees in this country now. More

5:10

women are likely to graduate within four years

5:12

than men. Women make

5:14

up 64 percent of pharmacy students.

5:16

Women make up 56 percent

5:18

of law school students. As of 2023, they make up

5:20

more than 55 percent of students in

5:25

the country's M.D. granting programs. In

5:27

this 2015 study using international data,

5:30

researchers have determined that girls

5:32

outperform boys in educational achievement

5:35

in 70 percent of the countries they studied,

5:38

regardless of the level of

5:41

gender, political, economic, or social

5:43

equality. Those didn't factor in

5:45

whatsoever. Now, for

5:47

some of these zero-sum percentages to be

5:49

tilted in favor of women, that's not

5:51

necessarily a bad thing. We

5:54

have an entire country of highly capable females. We

5:57

need many of them to get degrees,

5:59

develop skills. and assist in the

6:01

workplace. This is not a negativity session

6:03

on women going to college. As I

6:06

said, both of my parents excelled in

6:08

academia. My mother has a PhD. My

6:11

wife has a high pressure career. Many of the

6:13

department heads here at The Daily Wire running things

6:15

are capable women. Some graduated from

6:18

college, some didn't graduate from college.

6:20

However, those who say it's a

6:22

good sign that more women are

6:24

doing well in higher education must

6:26

also admit it's a bad sign

6:28

that more and more men are

6:30

doing poorly. Or better

6:33

yet, why don't we understand that

6:35

living fulfilling lives and building better

6:37

families and communities is the ultimate

6:39

goal. Not simply filling up more

6:41

classrooms and obtaining more degrees. Kansas

6:44

City Chiefs kicker Harrison Booker was

6:46

chastised for making this point during

6:48

his commencement speech at Benedictine College

6:51

several weeks ago. Let's listen to

6:53

this together. For

6:55

the ladies present today, congratulations

6:58

on an amazing accomplishment. You

7:00

should be proud of all that you have achieved to this

7:02

point in your young lives. I want

7:05

to speak directly to you briefly because I think it

7:07

is you, the women, who have

7:09

had the most diabolical lies told to you. How

7:11

many of you are sitting here now about to cross

7:14

this stage and are thinking about all

7:16

the promotions and titles you are going to get in

7:18

your career? Some of you may

7:20

go on to lead successful careers in the world, but

7:22

I would venture to guess that the majority of you

7:24

are most excited about your marriage and the

7:26

children you will bring into this world. I

7:29

can tell you that my beautiful wife Isabel would

7:32

be the first to say that her life truly

7:34

started when she began living her

7:36

vocation as a wife and as a mother.

7:39

I'm on this stage today and able to be the man

7:41

I am because I have a wife who

7:44

leans into her vocation. I'm

7:47

beyond blessed with the many talents God has given

7:49

me, but it cannot be overstated that

7:52

all of my success is made

7:54

possible because a girl I met

7:56

in being class back in middle school. would

8:01

convert to the faith, become

8:03

my wife, and embrace one

8:06

of the most important titles of all, hole

8:08

maker. This guy cares so

8:10

much about his wife that he's tearing

8:13

up during this speech. And this clip

8:15

went viral for weeks with

8:17

him being called a hateful bigot. I

8:20

mean, it's barely acceptable. It's

8:22

barely acceptable to embrace masculine

8:24

virtue in the NFL anymore,

8:26

the National Football League. It's

8:29

completely taboo at colleges across

8:31

this country. But the experts

8:33

at PBS have it all figured out

8:35

though. According to them, girls are performing

8:38

better because they have higher GPAs. This

8:41

is why I've said for

8:43

years, we need new metrics

8:45

for intelligence. We need new

8:47

identifiers for capability, GPAs, SATs,

8:49

IQs. Give

8:51

me one solid mechanic who can

8:54

fix my car over this year's

8:56

entire Harvard graduating class. I mean

8:58

it. Harvard, once seen as the

9:00

beacon for collegiate learning across the

9:02

world, now appears before the

9:05

Supreme Court to defend enrollment

9:07

discrimination against Asians. Those

9:09

higher GPAs mentioned are merely a

9:11

symptom to larger issues. So what

9:14

are those issues? For starters, personality.

9:17

Much of the Western world right now will

9:19

have you believe there is no difference whatsoever

9:22

between men and women. So

9:24

much so that one bearded,

9:26

flannel-wearing man had to traverse

9:28

the entire planet asking the

9:31

simple question, what is a

9:33

woman? Dr. Jordan Peterson

9:35

frequently cites this difference in

9:37

personality when he speaks about

9:39

agreeableness. Research shows that

9:41

agreeable students tend to get better

9:43

grades than their IQs would predict.

9:45

I mean intuitively, this makes sense.

9:47

If a student is on the

9:49

borderline between passing and failing, teachers

9:52

are more likely to pass the agreeable

9:54

student and fail a disagreeable student. I

9:57

can't help but think of the distinction

9:59

between how- and Peter

10:01

Keating in The Fountainhead. If you

10:03

haven't read it, you should. Rourke,

10:05

the most steadfast character, the man

10:07

who valued integrity above compromise, was

10:09

expelled from school, while his classmate,

10:11

who copied all of Rourke's work,

10:14

but was amiable, became the

10:16

valedictorian. Another

10:18

factor, and it shouldn't be shocking news,

10:20

is boys do better with male teachers.

10:24

Girls do better with female teachers. The

10:26

problem is, women make up 89% of

10:29

elementary school teachers. So many young

10:31

boys get a slow start. Young

10:33

boys without fathers get an even

10:35

slower start. While we're

10:37

on grade school, how about limiting recess?

10:40

Eliminating this period may sound like a

10:42

good idea to some who see it

10:44

as a waste of time, but its

10:47

removal has had significant ramifications on boys

10:49

in particular. Researchers in the Journal of

10:51

Medicine and Science in Sport

10:54

found that, quote, the more time

10:56

kids in first grade spent sitting,

10:58

and the less time they spent

11:00

being physically active, the fewer gains

11:02

they made in reading and math.

11:05

Among girls, sitting for a long

11:07

time without moving did not seem to

11:09

have any effect on their ability to

11:11

learn. I mean, anyone

11:13

listening who has both sons and

11:15

daughters understands this without needing statistics,

11:18

right? I mean, my son is running

11:20

around all over the place. What makes

11:22

the topic of men performing poorly and

11:25

higher learning so much more painful is

11:27

that the outcome seems intentional. Western

11:29

society is prioritizing feminine interest over

11:32

masculine interest in every facet of

11:34

our society. The goalposts are being

11:36

shifted to ensure success for some

11:39

members of our population, but not

11:41

for others. In that,

11:43

the pursuit of truth and

11:45

knowledge and learning is lost. And

11:48

let's be honest, that learning is not

11:50

just lost for the men, degrees all

11:53

across this country are being watered down

11:55

for every student holding a diploma. So

11:58

here are four solutions. Four solutions. solutions

12:00

that we must implement to

12:02

revitalize our higher education system

12:04

to the standard American needs.

12:07

First, pointless curriculums that

12:09

offer no marketplace value and

12:11

provide no opportunity for students

12:14

to monetize their learnings must

12:16

be eliminated from public institutions.

12:18

The University of South Carolina

12:20

has a course called Lady

12:22

Gaga in the Sociology of

12:24

Fame. A sociology professor

12:27

behind that course told the

12:29

New York Times that, quote,

12:31

the central objective is to

12:33

unravel some of the sociological

12:35

relevant dimensions of the fame

12:37

of Lady Gaga. Gotcha.

12:40

Cornell University, an Ivy League school,

12:42

offers tree climbing. I'm not making

12:44

this up. Cornell says the class

12:46

will, quote, teach you how

12:48

to get up into the canopy

12:50

of any tree to move around,

12:52

even to climb from one tree

12:54

to another without touching the ground.

12:57

That's called being six years old.

13:00

Go shadow Tarzan for a day

13:02

that shouldn't be offered at Cornell,

13:04

private school or not. Pitzer College

13:06

offers social justice activism. Texas A&M

13:09

offers paintball. Denison

13:11

College offers queer studies. Santa Clara

13:13

provides lectures about the physics of

13:16

Star Trek. And George

13:18

Mason has a course that's

13:20

simply called Zombies. I

13:22

mean, personally, have established yesterday that

13:25

zombies are indeed real. I'd

13:27

go with Michigan State's version,

13:29

even though, look, I'm a

13:31

Wolverine. They're Spartans. But their

13:33

version that's called Surviving the

13:35

Coming Zombie Apocalypse, Disasters, Catastrophes,

13:37

and Human Behavior, that does

13:39

sound a little bit more useful

13:42

and interesting. And maybe the worst

13:44

offender is Bates College in Maine,

13:46

which offers a class on Whoopi

13:48

Goldberg called Making

13:51

Whoopi Goldberg's

13:53

Cannon. Yep. There

13:55

we go. If you wanted to

13:57

make college as unappealing as possible. to

14:01

intelligent and ambitious young

14:03

men, these are the kinds

14:05

of courses you'd offer. And

14:08

since the information being taught can just

14:10

as easily be learned over the internet,

14:12

what's really being paid for, what's

14:15

really being purchased is the degree.

14:17

Only those are becoming more and

14:19

more worthless to employers because they've

14:21

started to understand that a college

14:24

degree no longer guarantees that their

14:26

new hire possesses a superior set

14:28

of skills to the non-college grad.

14:31

Second solution, we must substantially limit

14:33

access to federally backed student loans.

14:36

Colleges have been given every incentive

14:38

to hike up tuition costs while

14:40

offering no additional value, knowing that

14:43

student loan forgiveness, which is really

14:45

student loan redistribution, has taken all

14:48

risk away from the borrowers. It's

14:50

the taxpayers, you and me, who

14:52

are forced to foot the bill.

14:55

No money lender in this country would

14:57

loan $100,000 to a 17-year-old kid, even

15:02

if he had the most exceptional

15:05

business plan, a jaw-dropping pitch deck.

15:07

Mark Zuckerberg was getting turned down

15:09

for pitching Facebook two decades ago,

15:12

but that same 17-year-old can get a $100,000

15:14

loan to

15:17

study underwater basket weaving

15:19

without so much as a single

15:22

sentence explaining how he will monetize

15:24

this knowledge and pay back the

15:26

loan. That's a problem. That's hurting

15:28

America. Third, stop teaching

15:30

children that college degrees are essential for

15:33

success. Of course, colleges don't want to

15:35

hear that, but it's imperative for the

15:37

rest of us to explain this to

15:39

our children. Some kids need trade school.

15:41

My brother studied aviation maintenance. He can

15:44

fix airplane engines. I wish I could

15:46

do that. It's a very important and

15:48

in-demand skill. If he had only started

15:50

earlier, we might not have planes falling

15:52

from the sky. For some people, it's

15:55

important to start working right away. Rather

15:57

than taking what has become a four-year

15:59

vacation, racking up. debt along the way.

16:01

There are interesting and lucrative jobs in

16:04

the world that most people know nothing

16:06

about. You don't have to

16:08

get an accounting degree and become

16:10

a consultant. That's why Mike Rowe

16:12

and his show Dirty Jobs is

16:15

so important. He highlights the beaver

16:17

relocators and caviar harvesters, fossil hunters

16:19

and doomsday seed bankers, jobs most

16:21

of us haven't even heard of.

16:24

Even when young people decide to

16:26

go to college, it's important they

16:28

understand that the most prestigious degrees

16:31

don't ultimately determine success. As Dave

16:33

Ramsey pointed out, roughly two-thirds of

16:35

millionaires graduated from public state schools.

16:37

Only about 8% went

16:39

to elite private colleges, and 12% of

16:42

millionaires didn't go to college at all. Finally,

16:46

it's past time to abolish

16:48

diversity, equity and inclusion and

16:51

affirmative action initiatives that drive

16:53

no meaningful diversity. Some

16:55

states have already made this decision,

16:58

but it needs to go nationwide.

17:00

The kind of diversity that's important

17:02

is diversity based on ability and

17:04

thought and the geography of a

17:06

person's origin in some instances, but

17:08

not diversity based on immutable characteristics

17:10

that people can't control. A young

17:13

kid who shows exceptional promise of

17:15

becoming a great engineer needs to

17:17

have that opportunity even though he

17:19

may come from a low-income family

17:21

and can't afford college. Those types

17:23

of scholarships are important, and they

17:26

exist for good reason. I use

17:28

myself as an example. I was

17:30

able to attend the University of

17:32

Michigan on an athletic scholarship. There's

17:34

no way I could have met

17:36

the academic requirements or afforded the

17:38

out-of-state tuition to attend that school,

17:41

but I could play football, at

17:43

least to some degree. That's how

17:45

I contributed. It's what I brought

17:47

to the table, a different skill

17:49

set other than the other students.

17:51

True diversity. And when we end

17:54

the practice of accepting students based

17:56

on their metaphysical makeup despite their

17:58

lack of readiness for that opportunity,

18:00

drop out rates will go down

18:02

significantly for those very students. If

18:04

you really want to understand this

18:07

concept to the fullest extent, I

18:09

encourage you to read Heather McDonald's

18:11

book, The Diversity Delusion. It's poignant,

18:13

prophetic. Miss McDonald is a brilliant

18:15

thinker and writer. Bottom line,

18:18

universities should not be four-year

18:20

vacation centers where one explores

18:22

how decadent and depraved he

18:24

can be. This should

18:27

not be meaningless pieces of paper that

18:29

we obtain simply to hang on the

18:31

wall so we appear smart to all

18:33

those who enter our office. The goal

18:36

isn't to hand out as many degrees

18:38

as we can. The goal is to

18:40

pass down from generation to generation the

18:43

most essential knowledge that we possess for

18:45

the betterment of our lives, our families,

18:47

and our future generations. Now

18:50

let's get to our five headlines. All

18:57

right, first up today, the Supreme

19:00

Court rules Trump has immunity for

19:02

official acts, and this

19:04

likely delays the trial past the

19:06

election. This was big news yesterday.

19:08

I'm going to read this from

19:10

thedailywire.com. The Supreme Court issued a

19:12

ruling on Monday that Donald Trump's

19:14

claim of presidential immunity to shield

19:16

himself from federal prosecution is valid

19:18

for official acts. That's a big

19:20

point that's going to keep coming

19:23

up here, unofficial acts versus official

19:25

acts. It's

19:27

in a partial victory for the

19:29

former president. Partial I guess because

19:31

now the current president may be

19:33

able to act with

19:35

impunity and do whatever he wants. But

19:38

the justices voted six to three

19:40

along ideological lines in the decision

19:42

and sent the case in which

19:44

Trump pleaded not guilty to charges

19:47

accusing him of unlawfully plotting to

19:49

overturn the results of the 2020

19:51

election back to the lower DC

19:53

court for further review. The

19:56

president says here, quote, the president is not

19:58

above the law, the ruling said. But

20:00

under our system of separated

20:03

powers, the president may not

20:05

be prosecuted for exercising his

20:07

core constitutional powers, and he

20:10

is entitled to at least

20:12

presumptive immunity from prosecution for

20:15

his official acts. Because

20:18

the ruling was released so late,

20:20

this is the final day of

20:22

the term, the Associated Press noted

20:24

the justices reduced or possibly even

20:27

eliminated the chances of a trial

20:29

being held before the November election.

20:32

Obviously that is that significant. And

20:34

the case may already be weakened

20:36

by a prior ruling that found

20:39

the Justice Department went too far

20:41

with January 6 related

20:43

obstruction charges. You

20:46

think? Big win for

20:48

our Constitution and Democracy. This is Trump here.

20:50

This is all caps, by the way. Big

20:52

win for our Constitution and Democracy,

20:55

proud to be an American, Trump

20:58

exclaimed on Truth Social. The

21:00

case now returns to the U.S. District

21:02

Judge Tanya Chutkin for determining

21:05

what constitutes official acts. There we

21:07

go. And that's what we all

21:09

want to know, what constitutes official

21:11

acts versus unofficial acts. Yet

21:15

even if some charges against Trump make

21:18

it to the trial, the high court's

21:20

ruling pose further

21:22

complications for prosecutors. So

21:24

any testimony or records of the

21:26

president or his advisers probing conduct

21:29

immune from prosecution may not be

21:31

admitted as evidence at trial. This

21:34

is Chief Justice John Roberts here

21:36

who wrote the majority opinion. Conservative

21:39

Justice Amy Coney Barrett concurred

21:41

with most of the opinion

21:44

but disagreed with the restriction

21:46

on introducing protected conduct

21:48

as evidence saying there's no need

21:50

to depart from familiar and time-tested

21:53

procedure here. All three of the

21:55

liberal justices opposed the ruling and

21:57

her dissent Justice Sonia Sotomayor Justice

22:01

Sonia Sotomayor suggested the majority's

22:03

reasoning would allow a president

22:05

to get away with ordering

22:07

a Navy's SEAL Team Six

22:10

to assassinate a political rival

22:13

or organizing a military coup to

22:15

stay in power or

22:17

taking a bribe in exchange for

22:19

a pardon. She

22:22

says, with fear for our democracy,

22:25

I dissent. I wonder

22:27

if she would fear for our democracy

22:29

if we were able to add, let's

22:31

say, 11 leftist

22:34

justices to the Supreme Court. Would that endanger

22:36

our democracy if we expanded the Supreme Court

22:38

in that manner? Can we bring up what

22:41

the president had to say about this? I

22:43

know he held a press conference yesterday. This

22:46

decision today has continued the court's

22:49

attack in recent years on a

22:51

wide range of long-established legal principles

22:53

in our nation. From

22:55

gunning voting rights and civil rights to

22:58

taking away women's rights to choose, to

23:01

today's decision that undermines

23:03

the rule of law of this nation. Undermines

23:06

the rule of law attacks.

23:09

Do you hear these words they get used? It's attacks.

23:11

Who else? What other clips do we have in

23:14

there for this? Do we have maybe Joy Reid's clip? All

23:18

that matters is that you do

23:20

not allow the person back into office

23:22

who will use this power that he

23:25

has been given by this court, this

23:27

imperial court, to implement that agenda they

23:30

wrote down and published because they know

23:32

that no one will stop them except

23:34

voters. We are- It doesn't

23:36

matter if Biden is old. It don't matter.

23:39

It don't matter if he's old. What matters

23:41

is that the other guy wants to be

23:43

a king and this court has said, yes,

23:45

you are a king and we are the

23:47

king's hand. And together, the seven of us-

23:49

It doesn't matter. Take it away. I'm tired

23:51

of her. It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter

23:54

if Joe Biden is old. The other guy

23:56

wants to be a king. Nevermind

23:58

the first person. you mentioned

24:00

trying to throw the other guy in

24:02

jail. But anyway, I digress. Big story

24:05

here, big news. We'll stay on

24:07

top of that and keep you posted. Let's go to the next

24:09

story here. A little

24:11

bit of a transition, pun

24:13

intended. A North Witch woman jailed

24:15

for cocaine-fueled sex with a dog.

24:17

I kid you not. This story

24:19

was presented to me. I had

24:21

to read it twice to understand

24:23

that it was even possible. This

24:25

says here, a woman has been

24:27

jailed. Okay, can we bring up the

24:30

picture of this woman, by the way? Do we have

24:32

a photo of her? There we go. Yes,

24:35

brave, beautiful woman. Don't

24:38

you dare, don't you dare say

24:40

that that's not a woman. Facial,

24:43

stubble, notwithstanding. A woman has

24:45

been jailed after she admitted

24:47

to having cocaine-fueled sex

24:49

with a dog and possessing images

24:51

of the disgusting incident. So it

24:54

wasn't enough, but there were photos

24:56

taken and she has those now.

24:58

This is Claire Gudier

25:00

of Spencer Street in North Witch.

25:03

Was described as manipulative and

25:06

deceitful by a probation officer. Judge

25:08

Steven Everett called her behavior in

25:10

taking part in the act with

25:13

other adults. There were

25:15

other adults that partook, actually,

25:17

as despicable, disgusting, and depraved

25:19

as he jailed her for

25:21

20 months. Sir,

25:24

I don't know if you've heard,

25:26

but you cannot jail her. You cannot jail

25:28

someone when they were born in the wrong

25:30

body. That gives them immunity

25:33

against you being a judge or

25:35

throwing them in jail. The 60-year-old

25:37

has twice been convicted of possessing

25:40

indecent images of children. In 2006

25:42

and 2009, with the judge admitting

25:47

she had been astonishingly lucky

25:50

to avoid previous spells

25:52

behind bars after receiving

25:55

suspended sentences. I

25:57

read that sentence correctly. So

25:59

in... decent images of children and you

26:01

get lucky, but have sex with a

26:03

dog and you're out of here, mister,

26:06

or I met ma'am, excuse me. Please

26:09

don't cancel me, I met ma'am. The

26:13

police have been called to her home on July

26:15

19th, 2019. 2019,

26:18

to carry out a routine check due to her being

26:21

on the sex offenders registry for

26:23

life, officers took

26:25

a laptop which contained evidence that

26:27

Goudier had searched the

26:29

internet for bestiality content and when

26:32

a full analysis of the equipment

26:34

was finally completed, some

26:36

two years later, it emerged

26:38

hidden in folders contained

26:41

31 indecent images of Goudier

26:43

taking part in a sex act

26:45

with dogs with other people. Good

26:47

thing that it only took two

26:49

years to analyze the bestiality content

26:51

any longer and we'd really be

26:54

in trouble. She said

26:56

she had fantasized about this for a

26:58

number of years and after talking about

27:00

it with people in the Northwich area

27:02

was put into touch with others so

27:04

that they could all get together, sounds

27:08

like a lovely community. I heard

27:10

home prices there are out of control right now.

27:12

She traveled down there in December 2018 and

27:15

took part in the act. At

27:18

the time of her arrest on June 17th

27:20

this year, police also found another pen

27:22

drive in her handbag

27:24

containing the same images and about 3.5 grams

27:26

of cocaine. Simon

27:31

Mills defending her said, his client

27:34

has always been frank and honest,

27:36

okay? Frank and honest with

27:38

the probation service and although

27:40

accepting the behavior had been

27:43

depraved and disgusting, called on

27:45

the judge to consider another

27:47

suspended sentence. I

27:50

don't think the judge understands, as I said,

27:52

he can't just jail someone who was born

27:54

in the wrong body. That is a get

27:56

out of jail free card. They can do

27:59

whatever they want. A

40:01

person didn't

40:05

call me hoo-hoo. And

40:12

I'm still recovering. They

40:16

didn't call me hoo-hoo. Are you

40:18

willing and able to relocate to

40:21

Wilmington? Yes. Additional

40:24

information, cover letter, we'll get to that.

40:26

Gender. I already did this. Hold

40:30

on. Gender. Our company values

40:32

diversity to ensure that we comply with reporting

40:34

requirements and to learn more about how we

40:36

can increase diversity in our

40:38

candidate pool. We invite you to

40:40

voluntarily provide demographic information in

40:42

a confidential survey. I already filled

40:45

out that I was hoo-hoo. This

40:47

one's a drop-down menu, and now

40:49

it's asking me male, female, decline

40:51

to self-identify. Well, I'm going to

40:53

click Define it, but I'm going

40:55

to write them. I need to

40:57

write them in the comments thing

40:59

that they don't have hoo-hoo under

41:02

gender, and that

41:04

is triggering. It's marginalizing my existence. Here we

41:06

get to race. Hispanic or

41:08

Latino, white, non-Hispanic, not checking that

41:10

one. Black or African American, Native

41:12

Hawaiian, Asian,

41:15

American Indian, two or more races decline

41:17

to self-identify. I already

41:20

put hoo-hoo. I'll put two or more

41:22

races. I've got, look,

41:25

you go back far enough, man. There's something there. Veteran

41:28

status. I can't

41:30

lie on this one. I am not a veteran. Optional

41:33

diversity survey. I kid you not, this thing

41:35

goes and goes and goes. We invite you

41:38

to complete this optional survey to help us

41:40

evaluate our diversity and inclusion efforts. This

41:42

is the First Lady. This is the President of

41:44

the United States' wife who needs a digital manager.

41:46

This is what's on the application to fill out.

41:50

What are your preferred pronouns? This is the

41:52

third time I've been asked about gender and

41:54

pronouns on this application right here. She,

41:57

her, he, his, they, them, my pronouns. are

41:59

not listed, I do not wish to identify."

42:01

Again, at the very top of this thing,

42:03

I already put who who and that's not

42:05

an option on either one of the second

42:07

gender, like, I can't. I'm just

42:09

going to put my pronouns are not listed because

42:12

I already said who who. What is your gender

42:14

identity? This is the next one. This

42:16

is the next one. Female, male,

42:18

transgender, non-binary, non-conforming, I do not

42:20

wish to identify. I'm going to

42:22

put non-conforming. I go against the grain.

42:26

Saucy. Outside the box. What

42:28

is your race ethnicity? I

42:30

just filled this out. This was

42:32

just above this. White, Caucasian, Hispanic, Latino,

42:34

Black or African, Asian, Native Hawaiian, Indigenous peoples,

42:37

Middle Eastern, some other race I do not

42:39

wish to identify. I got to put

42:41

some other race now to keep with the

42:45

Daniel Crum character. Do you

42:47

identify as a member of

42:49

the LGBTQIA plus community? Sean,

42:53

did y'all make this just so that I would

42:55

fill this out and this isn't a real thing?

42:58

This is a real website. I went

43:00

to it and I'm filling it out.

43:02

This is the fourth time I've already

43:04

been asked about how

43:06

I, yes, I'm a member of the transgender

43:08

of the LGB. I already put who who

43:10

as what I identify. Do you identify as

43:12

a member of the disabled community? Look,

43:15

I apologize to anyone out there, but I'm going to

43:17

click yes on this just to, I got to get

43:20

hired. Are you a veteran? No, I won't do that.

43:22

All right. Submit application. All right.

43:24

Your application has been submitted. I don't

43:26

know. We'll see. We'll see what happens. Maybe

43:28

I'll get hired. Maybe I

43:31

will finally be moving up

43:33

in the world as Daniel

43:35

Crum to work for the

43:37

first lady. Boom. Deal with

43:39

that. Man, if I don't

43:41

get hired, I hope I

43:43

don't get fired here. Let's

43:45

talk freedom. Real freedom. All

43:47

this week, Daily Wire Plus

43:49

isn't just celebrating freedom. We're

43:51

literally giving a year of

43:53

it away. Buy one year

43:55

of Daily Wire Plus. Get

43:57

one year free. Boom. fantasy

52:00

football league and you came in like

52:02

last place and didn't do your punishment,

52:04

you're the most annoying type of person.

52:06

Number two, people who ride up my

52:08

bumper as close as they can on

52:10

the road. Anyone who does

52:12

that or worse yet, anyone who

52:15

tells his friends he's proud of it

52:17

makes a whole rules of the road

52:19

and blames the front car for going

52:21

too slow. That guy is the second

52:23

worst. And by the way, I just

52:26

slowed down 15 miles an hour. How

52:28

do you like that? But third worst

52:30

are these dunces. That's it, that's the

52:32

list. Now I could spend all afternoon

52:34

going through more examples. In just the

52:36

past year of these simpletons making scenes

52:39

all over the globe, pull up the

52:41

US Constitution one. Play

52:43

the US Constitution. Here we go. Is this

52:45

in the rotunda? Again

52:51

with the powder. In

52:57

which we have no voice or representation. This

53:02

country's founded on the conditions

53:04

that all men are created for

53:06

pretty equally and definitely. We

53:08

have too much time on our hands. Too

53:11

much time. To help all people, to

53:13

help all these rights, not just wealthy white men.

53:16

We all deserve clean air, water, food,

53:19

and a livable climate. You don't go out looking for

53:21

a job like that, do you? This one is unacceptable.

53:23

Stonehenge will be fine. This is the

53:26

Bill of Rights. Nicholas Cage didn't steal

53:28

this document to keep that other dude

53:30

from stealing it. So you could come

53:33

out here and express your childhood trauma.

53:35

Here we are days away from the 4th

53:38

of July and these communists wanna throw powder

53:40

on the words of Thomas Jefferson. What

53:43

did Vincent say in Pulp Fiction? It would

53:45

have been worth them doing it if I

53:47

could have just caught them doing it. How

53:49

about the ones who glued themselves to that

53:51

runway in Germany? Do we have that one?

53:53

Let's watch it. At

54:02

least this one you're trying to stop airplanes from

54:05

taking off. I can get

54:07

there logically with what you're trying to

54:09

do, gluing yourself there. Again,

54:13

with this one though, this is

54:15

getting to the point... Oh,

54:17

here we go. The

54:21

whole traffic line. The

54:24

right thing to do. That's

54:29

it. Good. Take that one away. He's

54:31

speaking Sputnik. I don't know what's going

54:34

on. But what's going on here is

54:36

that this is getting to the point

54:38

where I think there's a serious possibility

54:40

that these people are unknowingly bankrolled by

54:42

big oil companies to make environmentalists look

54:45

crazy. That seems more plausible than someone

54:47

thinking that this works. I

54:49

mean, the one guy watching said it

54:51

seems a bit drastic, but he concludes

54:54

that cutting through an airport security fence

54:56

and gluing yourself to an active runway

54:59

is the right thing to do. This

55:01

sums up exactly how the climate

55:03

crazies have gotten completely out of

55:05

control. They seem to think that

55:08

just because they're passionate about something,

55:10

that gives them some special claim

55:12

to act out in furtherance of

55:14

their agenda. And weak people, weak

55:17

people have enabled them. The

55:19

more encouragement they get, the more they'll raise

55:21

the stakes. All right. God

55:23

forbid they come disrupt the hot

55:25

dog eating contest this week. I can't

55:28

abide that. The most annoying aspect is

55:30

not even the events getting disrupted. It's

55:32

this air of moral superiority

55:34

that comes from drama queens who

55:36

are actively hurting their own cause,

55:38

essentially telling the rest of us,

55:41

how dare you not care about our

55:43

planet enough to throw macaroni at the

55:45

Mona Lisa. You don't even love the

55:48

earth enough to epoxy glue your hand

55:50

to an NBA floor. How selfish are

55:52

you? If this is the

55:54

best messaging you can muster, then your

55:56

cause either isn't worthy or

55:59

you're a terrible. marketer. I

56:01

truly believe we have to do a better

56:03

job of protecting our habitat, okay, cleaning up

56:06

our communities. We've gotten way too lax across

56:08

the world in America. Our streets are oftentimes

56:10

filthy, roads are trashed. We need to do

56:13

better. Guess what? That starts with us. It

56:15

doesn't start by high-fiving Greta Thunberg as

56:17

she and Al Gore hop on a

56:19

G6 to fly halfway around the world

56:22

so they can tell everyone else how

56:24

bad it is for planet Earth when

56:26

I eat a steak. No, it's

56:28

not gonna fly pun intended.

56:30

And behavior like this not only keeps

56:32

me from wanting to associate with whatever

56:34

it is you're advocating, but I now

have to mock you in order to

56:39

help you. You understand, like by calling

56:41

you out, I clearly care more for

56:43

your well-being than anyone else has for

56:46

you in your entire life. I care

56:48

more about you than your own mother,

56:50

clearly. Maybe that's part

56:52

of the problem that we got going on here,

56:54

but that's why today really was

56:57

inevitable. I'm just doing my duty. This

56:59

segment is bigger than me. So as

57:01

of this moment, commotion causing,

57:04

attention seeking, craze-filled

57:07

climate activists are

57:09

today canceled. That'll do it today for The

57:12

Matt Walsh Show. I am David Cohn. If

57:14

you like anything you heard today, go ahead

57:16

over to social media. Follow me at David

57:18

Adam Cohn. That's on X, Instagram, all social

57:21

media platforms. If you hated anything you heard,

57:23

send it to all your friends just to

57:25

see if they agree or not. On behalf

57:27

of Matt Walsh and all of the team

57:29

here, have a blessed day.
