You know, yesterday I talked about the lack of self awareness of these people and how much I envy it, frankly. And here we have yet another example. No self awareness. And as an extension of having no self awareness, they also have no awareness of how other people think. Right? This, this is the thing that's really hampering the left right now. It's not so much their lack of self awareness, it's their lack of other awareness, it's their lack of understanding of how other people think and feel. They can't get in our heads at all. They just don't understand it, which means they can't persuade us. In order to persuade someone, you have to be able to understand how they think. If you don't understand how they think and they're a total mystery to you, you're not going to be able to persuade them. In fact, you can't even effectively demean or attack somebody in an effective way if you don't understand how they think. You can't even hurt their feelings. Forget about persuading them. You can't hurt someone's feelings if you don't understand how they think. It requires some basic understanding of how your opposition thinks, which they don't have. So if I'm a federal worker and I really want to mobilize people against DOGE and against all the cuts to government, and I want to gain sympathy and support from the public, which, if you're one of these federal workers or ex federal workers showing up at a protest, you would think that that's what you want to do, that's why you're having a protest. So if I'm in that spot, here's what I would do. And it's not that I wanna give these people any hints, but they're not paying attention to what I'm saying anyway, so it's fine. So here's what I would do. I would get up there and I would say, you know, I got that email from Elon and I was happy he sent it. I sent back 15 things that I did last week. My only complaint is that he didn't ask us to give more things. I wanted to give a longer list. I want him to send more emails and ask, ask for longer lists. Because government is a thankless job. I'm slaving away at all hours, working hard at my desk job from 8:30am to 2:00pm every day. These are unbelievably hard hours. No one works like me in the federal government and no one ever thanks me. It's a thankless job. I relish the opportunity. I relish the opportunity to tell someone what I've done. It's about time they ask, you know what? I got that email and I thought, thank God. It's about time someone asks me what I'm doing all the time. I hope you sit down for a minute. I hope you have two hours. I'll Tell you all the things I did last week, I would say something like that because I would recognize that even if it's not actually true of federal workers, if you're trying to persuade someone, that's how you would frame it. Because I would recognize that, first of all, if I want people to be against cuts to federal jobs, I need to persuade people that federal workers are doing a lot every day. And for another, I would also recognize that the public is not gonna sympathize with me if I cry about having to answer a simple email. So I would not cry about it. If I wanted to cry about it, I would go home and I would cry in the privacy of my own home. I would cry into my pillow at night about the mean, scary email that I received. I would not do it in public because the whole point is to mobilize and persuade the public. And I'm not gonna do that by shouting, oh no, the email. The email frightened me. That scary email. These protesters don't realize any of this because they have no understanding of how other people's minds work. They don't understand. They don't understand their own minds or anyone else's. They're like automatons. They're like essentially AI, but not nearly as smart. Their AI without, without with a fraction of the computing power is basically what we're dealing with. Let's get to the comment section. If you're a man, it's required that you grow a beard. Hey, we're the Sweet Baby gang. My all new limited time scent, Spring Rain is here. You can light it up as a perfectly acceptable substitute for spring cleaning. I know your wife will definitely agree. Why clean the house when you just light a candle and make it smell nice? Get yours now@thecandleclub.com I went on a date with a girl once who was trying to defend Colin Kaepernick. I strongly disagree. The date was over in about 10 minutes. That's a good call. And look, it's possible that the girl could just be very, could be ignorant, not very thoughtful, sort of just adopting the approved point of view on a topic like Colin Kaepernick. And in that case, maybe you could convince her otherwise. Maybe you could convert her to be a full on conservative. Maybe, but it's not, probably not worth the effort, it's not worth the gamble. So cut your losses and move on. Especially if this is someone you don't even know. You've been on a date for 10 minutes, you have no emotional attachment to them. You don't really lose anything by just cutting it off. And so I think that was a smart move. I watched Love is Blind. Virginia also dumped Devin at the altar. She was outraged at him for being a black conservative. The crazy thing is both Sarah and Virginia likely found them attractive because of their conservative values, but felt pressured to reject them because it's not hip. So two men were dumped at the altar for being conservative in the same season? Or is this two different seasons? I don't know. Either way, the real point here is why are you watching Love is Blind? That's, it's, you know, it's not good for you. You know that. I mean, come on. I don't need to tell you that these reality shows, they're basically porn for women. And I don't mean because they're sexual. Well, they are. They are sexual often. But that's not even what I mean. I just mean that they're trashy, lowest common denominator stuff, and they appeal to the lowest, basest parts of you. Now, I don't understand the appeal. Like, I could not sit and watch one of these shows for an hour, much less a season, much less multiple seasons. I find them terribly, terribly dull and boring. But they're not for me. Right. They are basically for women. But they're not appealing to the better parts of your nature. Right. They're appealing to kind of the worst parts of you, which is what porn does. So for men, that's porn. For women, it's stuff like this. And so I recommend finding other things to do with your time. We need a special episode where Matt does an interview with his wife. I feel like that'd be hilarious. You know, I've actually thought about doing a 60 minute style, hard hitting interview with my wife where I interrogate her about all the many controvers controversies we've had over the years. I've thought about doing that, for example, just as an example of one of the things that I would take her task for. This is a recent thing. As you know, if you've listened to my show. My wife for years has been trying to coerce me into agreeing to buy goats for some reason. And I have remained steadfast against it. I have not relented. Her pressure campaign has failed. But then the other day, out of the blue, we're just in the kitchen. I think it's like it's first. Oh, no, it's first thing in the morning. Okay, first thing in the morning. All right. I'm stumbling out, half awake. My wife's like a morning person. She'll wake up, it's 6:05am and she's already singing. She's like Mary Poppins singing through the house. That's not me. So it's first thing in the morning, haven't even had a cup of coffee yet. And she says. She asks me if she can get two chickens. So I just wanna get two. Only two. Just two chickens. Of course. I say, well, what do we need chickens for? Why do you want chickens? Bobby goes, eggs are expensive. I know eggs are expensive, but chickens are expensive. You gotta feed them. You gotta do the whole thing. It's the whole thing. You gotta get the. Whatever, the chicken coop and you gotta. It's a whole thing. It's a whole thing is what it is. There's expense that goes into it. And also it's a whole thing. Which for me, you understand, that's my main argument against everything in the family context. My main argument against most things is just, yeah, it's a whole thing. If we do that. I don't need to describe what the thing is. It's a whole thing. I don't want to do a whole thing. But I agreed because that's the thing. She said two chickens. Okay, whatever. It was early, I wasn't thinking straight. And so I agreed, fine, get the two chickens, whatever. And then shortly after that, she starts talking about how this is great because the chickens are a stepping stone to the goats. So it was all about the goats all along. She's using these poor chickens. These poor chickens that we don't even have yet. They're just. She's not even. It's dehumanizing to the chickens who aren't human. It's de. Chickenizing to the chickens or something. She's just using them as a gateway drug to goats. So this is the kind of thing I have to deal with. And maybe I should interrogate my wife on camera about it. It'd be like a frost Nixon, except mainly focused on goats. I still can't stop laughing about Matt's reaction to his boots picture at the presidential address with the speaker of the House and Ben. Go back and watch it for a good laugh. I'm glad you think it's funny. The whole thing was a debacle for me. Actually, it was. The boots thing was only one of the wardrobe related crises to come out of my attendance at that speech. I think that's the only one we talked about. Just because, you know, it's. It's. I thought that was enough. That was enough. It was enough to talk about that, I didn't think we need to go into all the details, but I didn't even mention how people were also accusing me of having tied my tie too short. So that was also something. I've actually gotten multiple text messages from people, friends of mine, or so I thought. Criticize. Hey, I saw you on camera. Your tie was too short. Okay, thanks. Nothing I can do about that now. And I don't even think I mentioned this either. But speaking of controversies with my wife, I don't think I mentioned this, that she. She actually text me immediately after the speech was over and told me that my fly was down, that I was on camera four times and my fly was down. And I had a brief moment of pure panic because that's kind of like the end of your career. I think there's something. You can't survive certain things. There's certain images that are out there. You can't survive them. And, you know, that's how precarious this whole thing is. You have your fly down at the State of the Union one time. It only takes one. You don't get a redo, you don't get two times. Only one, and your career's over. So I had a moment of pure panic, but then I went back and looked at the clips and I discovered that, no, that's not the case. My fly was not down. This is my wife trolling me, I guess. And so this is a big joke. It's a big practical. It's a big prank, a big practical joke that instead of, you know, I was just. I was at the State of the Union. We had a joint session speech, like, kind of a big deal. So you'd think she would text and say, hey, what was it like meeting all the cabinet officials and congressmen? What was that? No, instead it was, hey, your fly was down. Lol. But I can't be mad because it's exactly what I would do in her position. That is precisely what I would do. This is the one thing about being a devoted troll, as I am, is that you're gonna get it dished back to you constantly. And you gotta. You can't. You have to respect the game. You just have to. And I do. But these are the things that I deal with. Mainstream media thinks you're too dumb to see through their lies. They twist the narrative, manipulate the headlines, and bury the truth.

For our daily cancellation day, we have Sam Cedar. You probably recognize the name because this is sadly the second time I've mentioned it in a week. Last week it was because his. His co host was laughing hysterically at a female athlete who sustained a traumatic brain injury at the hands of a trans male. Now we have a story involving Sam himself. And as I mentioned last week, Sam has done literally dozens and dozens of segments about me on his show. He's been begging for my attention for years. He is one of my biggest fans. And now that I've mentioned his name twice in a week, Sam is no doubt on cloud nine. And that's fine. I'm glad that I can make the little guy feel good about himself. But in any event, Sam Seder recently did that thing where he sits in the middle of a crowd and faces off against more than a dozen people who disagree with him in rapid succession. It's a series you've probably seen called Surrounded. It's a kind of speed debate organized by Jubilee media. And one after another in this debate, Sam's amateur opponents completely demolished him. And there's one moment in particular that I want to focus on, and it's getting a lot of attention online. Here it is.
