    Podcast Summary

    • Supporting companies with strong morals and valuesChoose to support companies that donate to charities and make a difference in our culture.

      During these challenging times, it's essential to support companies with strong morals and values, like Charity Mobile, which donates 5% of monthly plan prices to pro-life charities. Meanwhile, our political leaders continue to disregard the well-being of the people they represent, as shown in the recent stimulus bill. The pandemic has exposed their indifference towards our overall health, education, and quality of life. Instead of caring for us, they focus on seizing power and control, leaving us feeling neglected and overlooked. By choosing to support companies like Charity Mobile, we can make a difference and contribute to positive change in our culture.

    • Government's responsibility to provide adequate relief checksThe government, responsible for economic hardships caused by lockdowns, should provide Americans with more than $600 in relief checks.

      The ongoing debate around the recent $1 trillion COVID-19 relief bill includes a discussion on direct payments to individuals, with some criticizing the proposed $600 checks as insufficient. However, the speaker argues that the government bears responsibility for the economic hardships caused by lockdowns and should provide adequate compensation. The bill's length and the inclusion of various special interest provisions have also been criticized. Ultimately, the speaker emphasizes that the government, having caused significant financial distress, owes Americans more than a mere $600.

    • Unrelated Provisions in COVID Relief BillThe COVID relief bill includes provisions unrelated to the pandemic, sparking criticism for elected leaders prioritizing special interests over suffering millions. Fauci's advice on monitoring a potentially more contagious COVID strain contrasts his past stance on foreign travel.

      The COVID relief bill contains various unrelated provisions, including funding for gender programs in Pakistan, investigating the 19 08 Springfield race riot, horse racing regulations, and a women's museum. Meanwhile, elected leaders are criticized for focusing on special interests while millions suffer. Fauci's advice on monitoring a potentially more contagious COVID strain from the UK but not overreacting is contrasted with his previous reluctance to shut down foreign travel but not American businesses. The importance of Thinkr, a company that summarizes key ideas from nonfiction books, is emphasized in a fast-paced world where time is valuable and knowledge is abundant.

    • Early travel restrictions can prevent wider business closuresShutting down foreign travel early can help prevent the need for wider business closures and economic disruption during a health crisis.

      While there should be reluctance when it comes to shutting down American businesses, there should be no hesitation when it comes to shutting down foreign travel if there's a potential health threat. The speaker argues that shutting down travel early can prevent the need for wider business closures and economic disruption. Additionally, the speaker criticizes political figures for accusing each other of denying science, and emphasizes the importance of science and vaccines in addressing the COVID-19 pandemic. The speaker also encourages individuals to protect themselves and their families with Taser's line of non-lethal self-defense devices.

    • CNN: Ana Navarro criticizes politicians jumping the vaccine line, Sky Arts: Eddie Izzard's gender identity journeyPoliticians' past actions and disregard for public health guidelines should not grant them early vaccine access, while personal identity exploration continues to be a complex and individual journey.

      During a discussion on CNN, Ana Navarro criticized politicians who have downplayed COVID-19 and attended large gatherings, yet have managed to get vaccinated before others. She argued that these individuals should not have jumped the line due to their past actions and lack of adherence to public health guidelines. Meanwhile, in a different context, Eddie Izzard, an actor, shared on Sky Arts Portrait Artist of the Year that he identifies as gender fluid but now wants to live full-time as a woman because he finds it interesting. These two unrelated topics highlight the ongoing debates surrounding vaccine distribution and personal identity.

    • The problematic issues of Eddie Izzard's gender identity and Confederate statuesThe debate around Eddie Izzard's gender identity and Confederate statues highlights the need to challenge societal norms and promote equality, rather than reinforcing gender stereotypes or distracting from important issues with individual narcissism.

      The discussion around Eddie Izzard's gender identity and the celebration of his wearing lipstick and girl clothes highlights two problematic issues. First, it perpetuates and reinforces the very gender paradigm that people in the LGBTQ+ community are trying to dismantle. Wearing lipstick and girl clothes does not make someone a girl, but the current narrative tells us otherwise. Second, it's an example of narcissism, with individuals seeking to be more interesting or complex by identifying as gender fluid. The debate around these issues can distract from the real goal of promoting equality and challenging societal norms. Additionally, Governor Ralph Northam's announcement of the removal of the Confederate statue from the US Capitol is a significant step forward for Virginia and the country, acknowledging the state's racist and divisive history and moving towards a more inclusive narrative.

    • Statue removal and historical figuresThe removal of statues based on historical figures' problematic views could potentially lead to the erasure of important figures like Thomas Jefferson and Abraham Lincoln. Instead, virtues like dignity, courage, and selflessness should be celebrated.

      The removal of a statue of Robert E. Lee based on his historical background as a slave owner and racist is a slippery slope that could potentially lead to the removal of statues and recognition of historical figures who have also held problematic views, such as Thomas Jefferson and Abraham Lincoln. The speaker argues that diversity and inclusion should not be the highest virtues of a civilization, and that virtues such as dignity, courage, and selflessness should be celebrated instead. He also encourages men to prioritize their health and wellness by using Forhimms.com, a platform that connects users with licensed medical professionals for various health concerns including ED and mental health. Lastly, he announces that the historical docuseries "Apollo 11" is now available exclusively for Daily Wire members.

    • New Perspectives on the Apollo 11 Moon LandingThe Apollo 11 moon landing marked a triumphant moment in history, but Jim Lovell missed out due to a switch with Alan Shepherd. Future space exploration, led by Elon Musk's entrepreneurial approach, holds potential for new triumphs.

      The Apollo 11 mission, which saw the United States land a man on the moon, was a defining moment in history. It was the culmination of a heated space race between the US and Soviet Union, and the new series "What we saw: Apollo 11" offers a fresh perspective on this famous story. Series writer and host Bill Whittle shared surprising facts he discovered during his research, such as Jim Lovell's switch with Alan Shepherd, which ultimately meant Lovell missed out on walking on the moon during Apollo 13. Whittle also expressed his concern that the Apollo 11 moon landing might be the last great triumphant moment in human history, as subsequent defining moments have been marked by tragedy. However, he sees potential in Elon Musk's SpaceX and Musk's entrepreneurial approach to space exploration, which could lead to new triumphs.

    • The Daily Wire's New Content and Matt Walsh's Controversial CommentsThe Daily Wire is expanding its content offerings with new shows, PragerU library access, an entertainment channel, and an investigative journalism team. Matt Walsh expresses confidence in the upcoming administration and his ability to make an impact through innovative, shocking, cool, fun content, despite past controversial comments.

      Matt Walsh, a host on The Daily Wire, believes that to make a significant impact, new content needs to be innovative, shocking, cool, fun, and something to be proud of. He expresses confidence that their upcoming administration, despite his criticisms, will allow them to achieve their goal of getting humans to Mars. The Daily Wire is releasing new content, including a show with Candace Owens, the entire PragerU library, a new entertainment channel, and an investigative journalism team. Walsh also discussed his potential self-cancellation based on Media Matters articles about his past comments. He reviewed three articles, including one where he called for violence against drag queens performing for children, and another where he criticized Pete Buttigieg for helping a child come out. Walsh maintains that his views were based on common sense and not bigotry, and he was not canceled for these comments. Overall, The Daily Wire continues to produce and release new content, and Walsh remains unapologetic for his controversial statements.

    • Boundaries of Acceptable Discourse and Extreme ViewsDuring a debate, Matt Walsh's controversial statements about pedophilia and voting rights sparked discussions on respectful dialogue and potential consequences of extreme views.

      The debate around social issues can lead to extreme views and accusations. During the discussion, Matt Walsh expressed concerns that progressives might eventually argue for the legalization of pedophilia based on their stance on children's gender identity. This claim was criticized as a right-wing smear. In another instance, Walsh suggested that stupid people should be legally prevented from voting, which was labeled as treasonous. These controversial statements sparked discussions about the boundaries of acceptable discourse and the potential consequences of extreme views. Despite the backlash, Walsh remained unapologetic, emphasizing his belief in being right and surviving the year without being canceled. Overall, the conversation highlights the importance of respectful dialogue and the potential risks of polarizing viewpoints.

    Ep. 1396 - A System Run By Illiterate Imbeciles

    Ep. 1396 - A System Run By Illiterate Imbeciles

    Today on the Matt Walsh Show, a judge in Atlanta was just arrested and removed from the bench after getting into a fight at a nightclub and assaulting a police officer. Again: this woman works as a judge, not a waitress at Waffle House. But, she is just a symptom of a much larger problem. We'll discuss. Also, I'll offer my preview of tonight's presidential debate. Climate protesters attempt a very unique and hilarious method of stopping traffic. And, a guy on Twitter is roundly mocked and ridiculed after offering some unorthodox life advice to young men. As usual, the peanut gallery is wrong.

    Ep. 1395 - A Flock Of Drag Queens Descend On Capitol Hill

    Ep. 1395 - A Flock Of Drag Queens Descend On Capitol Hill

    Today on the Matt Walsh Show, yesterday was "Drag Lobby Day" on Capitol Hill as several drag queens descended on our nation's capital to lobby for a host of awful legislation. The whole event was a flop, though, which may tell us something. Also, the Biden Administration promotes another cross-dressing man. The city of Los Angeles cracks down on people who are committing the crime of trying to make their communities safe and livable. And, the first annual "FatCon," a convention for fat people, just happened. I'll have the highlights, in case you were under the weight limit and couldn't attend.

    Ep. 1394 - The Fight Against Child Mutilation Makes It To The Supreme Court

    Today on the Matt Walsh Show, the Supreme Court will officially hear a challenge to Tennessee's ban on "gender affirming care" for minors. This will be a huge case that could deliver a devastating blow to the trans agenda. Also, CNN kicks a Trump spokesperson off the air for questioning CNN's objectivity ahead of the presidential debate on Thursday. Taylor Swift makes a brave stand against the patriarchy at her most recent concert. And, British academics are researching milk to discover its ties to racism and colonialism.

    Ep. 1393 - Christian Conservatives Proven Right Once Again As Abstinence 'Trend' Gains Popularity

    Ep. 1393 - Christian Conservatives Proven Right Once Again As Abstinence 'Trend' Gains Popularity

    Today on the Matt Walsh Show, the media has discovered a hot new trend. It's called abstinence. For years the Left mocked Christian conservatives for promoting abstinence. Now, they're coming around, but for all the wrong reasons. Also, Jamaal Bowman and AOC team up for the cringiest campaign rally of all time. Donald Trump made two campaign promises over the weekend: one very good and one very bad. And, the wife of an NFL quarterback says that she convinced her now-husband to date her by hooking up with his backup. Why would any wife share a story like that?

    Ep. 1392 - Disney’s Not So Secret Anti-White Agenda

    Today on the Matt Walsh Show, we've heard about Disney's not-so-secret gay agenda. Now, thanks to James O'Keefe, we know more about their not-so-secret anti-white agenda. Also, MSNBC talking heads do their best to explain why classrooms should have pride flags but shouldn't have the Ten Commandments. Their argument is more revealing than they wanted it to be. And, can racism cause cancer? That was the premise of an episode of an NBC medical drama. It was not satire. Not intentionally, anyway.

    Q&A: CAMERON SINCLAIR - Architecture for Humanity

    Q&A: CAMERON SINCLAIR - Architecture for Humanity
    Aired 02/06/11

    CAMERON SINCLAIR was trained as an architect at the University of Westminster and at the Bartlett School of Architecture, University College London. His postgraduate thesis focused on providing shelter to New York's homeless through sustainable, transitional housing. After his studies, he moved to New York where he worked as a designer and project architect.

    In 1999 Cameron Sinclair and Kate Stohr founded Architecture for Humanity, a grassroots nonprofit organization that seeks architectural solutions to humanitarian crises. Sinclair and Stohr compiled a bestselling book Design Like You Give A Damn: Architectural Responses to Humanitarian Crises.

    Sinclair is a TED prize recipient, a Young Global Leader of the World Economic Forum, and serves on advisory boards of the Acumen Fund, the Institute for State Effectiveness and the Ontario College of Art and Design. As a result of the 2006 TED Prize, Architecture for Humanity launched the Open Architecture Network, the world's first open source community dedicated to improving living conditions through innovative and sustainable design. Every two years this network hosts a global challenge to tackle a systemic issue within the built environment.

    Q&A: BILL DRAYTON, founder/CEO, ASHOKA - INNOVATORS FOR THE PUBLIC

    Q&A: BILL DRAYTON, founder/CEO, ASHOKA - INNOVATORS FOR THE PUBLIC
    Aired 12/24/08

    TERRY McNALLY on AIR AMERICA RADIO sitting in for RACHEL MADDOW and interviews BILL DRAYTON.

    BILL DRAYTON has pioneered the field of social entrepreneurship. He is the CEO and founder of ASHOKA, a global organization which selects individuals tackling society's most pressing problems with innovative, entrepreneurial solutions. Since 1981, ASHOKA has elected over 2,000 leading social entrepreneurs as Ashoka Fellows, providing them with living stipends, professional support, and access to a global network of peers in more than 60 countries. Through ASHOKA, DRAYTON has introduced the world to a fundamentally new model of how ideas can change social systems across the globe, improving the lives of millions.

    As a management consultant with McKinsey & Co, he gained wide experience serving both public and private clients, and built his understanding of how organizations work. He also served briefly in the White House, and taught both law and management at Stanford Law School and Harvard's Kennedy School of Government. He is a graduate of Harvard, Oxford, and Yale Universities.

    Social entrepreneurs often seem to be possessed by their ideas, committing their lives to changing the direction of their field. They are both visionaries and ultimate realists, concerned with the practical implementation of their vision above all else.

    Each social entrepreneur presents ideas that are user-friendly, understandable, ethical, and engage widespread support in order to maximize the number of local people that will stand up, seize their idea, and implement with it. In other words, every leading social entrepreneur is a mass recruiter of local changemakers-a role model proving that citizens who channel their passion into action can do almost anything.

    Over the past two decades, the citizen sector http://www.ashoka.org/citizensector has discovered what the business sector learned long ago: There is nothing as powerful as a new idea in the hands of a first-class entrepreneur.

    Just as entrepreneurs change the face of business, social entrepreneurs act as the change agents for society, seizing opportunities others miss and improving systems, inventing new approaches, and creating solutions to change society for the better. While a business entrepreneur might create entirely new industries, a social entrepreneur comes up with new solutions to social problems and then implements them on a large scale.
