Chapter 1: What controversial claim did a CBS anchor make about free speech?

0.109 - 18.688 Matt Walsh

Today on The Matt Walsh Show, a CBS anchor claims that free speech caused the Holocaust. That's not a straw man. That's actually what she said. Also, yet another plane disaster has occurred. Why has this become a trend? Conservatives are outraged at an SNL skit. Is the outrage warranted? And a viral video has sparked a very important debate, maybe not so important, about child-free weddings.

We'll talk about all that and more today on The Matt Walsh Show. Congratulations, you are the unwitting star of the internet's most invasive reality show where data brokers are auctioning off your personal information to whoever's got pocket change and internet connection. Your name, address, social security number are floating around out there like a chain email from 2002 that just won't die.

62.848 - 76.78 Matt Walsh

And these data brokers, well, they're building their empire on your digital paper trail. While you're fending off endless spam calls and suspicious emails, they're profiting from every detail of your life that they can get their hands on. However, I recently found a solution in a service called Delete Me.

Delete Me is a subscription service that removes your personal info from hundreds of data brokers, which is great because I have better things to do with my time than chase my personal information across the internet's endless databases. You tell Delete Me what information you want gone, and their experts handle the cleanup.

126.985 - 144.556 Matt Walsh

For the first time since the Second World War, a true nationalist party, one the media dubs far-right, which is a term that has never been defined and will never be defined, stands to win a significant number of seats in parliament. And this party, called Alternative for Germany, promises to end unrestricted migration into the country.

144.616 - 162.907 Matt Walsh

They'll stop destroying Germany's nuclear plants to appease climate cultists. and focus instead on energy independence. They'll reject the fiction that people can change their gender whenever they want to. And above all, they'll affirm that there's nothing shameful about or embarrassing about being German. This is all very basic stuff.

163.468 - 180.236 Matt Walsh

In this country, largely because of the political rise of Donald Trump, America first has been a rallying cry for tens of millions of voters for more than a decade. But in Europe, This kind of thinking isn't just taboo, it's basically heresy. And that's why the Alternative for Germany party is currently being investigated by several German intelligence agencies.

Chapter 2: Why is the Alternative for Germany party significant in upcoming elections?

2364.175 - 2388.294 Matt Walsh

So, but instead it's conservatives and, you know, I don't like SNL. I don't like Tom Hanks. I'm just saying that an outrage cycle where we all get offended over a very mild joke is probably not the best use of our time. And it just looks, it's not a good look. It just makes you look kind of lame, right? which isn't to say you have to laugh at it because it's not funny.

0

2388.715 - 2411.93 Matt Walsh

Instead, you just say, okay, that's not really that funny, and you move on. All right. Finally, time for something of an update or maybe a revision to past statements. You may remember a few months ago when video came out from Parliament in New Zealand where a woman started doing the haka, the haka dance,

2413.539 - 2433.914 Matt Walsh

in the middle of parliament proceedings because she was mad that there was a law being considered that would give equal rights to white people in New Zealand. Whereas right now, indigenous people in New Zealand have special rights. They have more than equal rights. They're on a higher legal plane with their rights than white people are.

0

2434.714 - 2453.403 Matt Walsh

And so there's been some consideration to, hey, maybe we should actually have equal rights in this country. What do you think? And this woman was upset about that. And so she broke into this haka thing in the middle of parliament. And it was speaking of cringy, this was cringe overload. And we played the clip of the haka routine and I mocked it pretty ruthlessly.

0

2453.423 - 2478.005 Matt Walsh

It deserved to be mocked in that context. The woman was making a total ass of herself. There's no doubt about it. But I also made fun of the haka in general. And that's the part that I need to clarify a bit, because it turns out that there are occasions where the haka is not only appropriate, but pretty great, I have to say. And one such occasion occurred in New Zealand a few days ago.

2478.105 - 2487.55 Matt Walsh

This video is also going viral, where a group of young men interrupted a gay pride parade by doing the haka. Let's check that out.

2489.729 - 2493.151 Protest Singer

Uh-huh

2522.034 - 2540.205 Matt Walsh

All right. So there's a hawk I like. I would have done it with him if I was there. I would have joined in. I don't know if that's culturally appropriating, but that's great stuff. Because one thing that makes this not cringe, while the one in Parliament was cringe, is that, for one thing, these are young men doing it.

2541.149 - 2564.684 Matt Walsh

And it looks kind of ridiculous when some small, petite woman is flailing around and trying to be intimidating. It's just, you know, it doesn't work. I mean, the men in this video are the ones who, in a different age, would have been the warriors, you know, of the Maori tribe. So for them, it fits. It just fits a lot better. But, of course, the most important difference is the context.
