Clip (Sesame Street Episode 0096 – March 23, 1970):
Big Bird: That says closed. And this sign says sale, yarn.
Susan: Big Bird, the store’s closed, you know.
Big Bird: Oh yes, Susan, I’m just looking at the signs, because I’m using signs to practice learning words.
Susan: Oh, that’s a good idea. How are you doing, though?
Big Bird: Oh, fine. I’m going up and down Sesame Street and reading all the signs. One up on the corner on the lamppost says Sesame Street.
Susan: A street sign, that’s right.
Big Bird: Just beyond that there’s another little sign that says stop.
Susan: Right on the corner, the stop sign. Good.
Big Bird: This one says sale, yarn.
Susan: Right. Hey, you’re doing alright.
Big Bird: But there’s a word that I saw today. I can hardly say it, and I sure don’t know what it means.
Susan: Well, why don’t you tell me, maybe I can help you?
Big Bird: Well, it’s quite a word. You ready to hear it?
Susan: Sure.
Big Bird: Okay, listen to this. Abka Defki, Jekyllman, Knopp, Kors Stuvwitz is.
Susan: I beg your pardon, Big Bird.
Big Bird: That’s the word. Abka Defki, Jekyllman, Knopp, Kors Stuvwitz is.
Susan: Abka, what? Where did you see that word?
Big Bird: Right over there in the yard.
Susan: Oh, in the yard?
Big Bird: Sure.
Susan: I really hate to tell you this, but that’s not a word.
Big Bird: It’s not.
Susan: No, Big Bird, this is the alphabet.
Leah Gazan: M-M-I-W-G-T-S-L-G-B-T-Q-Q-I-A-plus.
Big Bird: You mean that’s the alphabet?
Susan: That’s right.
Big Bird: Oh, it’s not a word.
Susan: No.
Big Bird: It’s not Abka Defki, Jekyllman, Knopp, Kors Stuvwitz is.
Susan: No, but you know what it is? It’s a list of all the letters that make words.
Bob Metz: Welcome, everyone. It is Wednesday, April 15th, 2026. I’m Bob Metz, and this is Just Right, broadcasting around the world and online. Join us for an hour of discussion that’s not right-wing. It’s Just Right.
As I hinted at the end of last week’s show, the conversation begun then will continue today as we delve deeper into the bizarre nature of the stupidity that seems to have enveloped so many people. Last week, we simply ran out of time after barely scratching beneath the surface of all the outrageous and laughable, anti-white male point of privileges who participated in Canada’s last NDP convention to say nothing about the insane rantings of their chosen very white male leader, Avi Lewis.
As we summarized in the blog post of that broadcast, and I quote, Marxist to its core, everything about the NDP and all the parties of the left is based on what author Isabel Paterson described as the Marxist language of fools, the use of words that are meaningless or outright anti-conceptual, such as the term public ownership. Public ownership is a euphemism for state control. Otherwise, there’s no such thing as public ownership, given that all ownership implies exclusive private control and use. The word public at best describes access, not ownership.
It is no mere coincidence that above all, Marxism advocates the abolition of private property. Between the rantings of both its leader and followers, Canada’s NDP is entirely based on a litany of absurd and evil concepts, ideas and ideologies. It would be well to heed the words of French Enlightenment writer Voltaire, who warned, those who can be made to believe absurdities can be made to commit atrocities.
And we got this feedback to last week’s show from long time listener Trevor D, who wrote, and I quote, Hi Bob, the political left is a circus of the deranged, led by a diabolical ringmaster. We laugh at our own risk, end quote.
Well, I couldn’t agree more, Trevor, but in the light of our recognizing that real risk, laugh we must, since ridicule and humor are powerful weapons against those capable of atrocities. And if you thought that last week’s selection of the deranged was laughable and dangerous, wait ‘till you hear what’s on tap this time round, immediately following our reminders that you can write us a feedback@justrightmedia.org.

Now last week our show was titled, You Will Own Nothing, NDP Happy. Socialism is an absurdity.
Of course, citing NDP leader Avi Lewis’ absurd reference to the unmatched power of public ownership.
To continue our theme on the absurdity of socialism, our show this week is entitled, The Language of Fools, Socialism’s Absurdity. One of the fundamental missions of all things Marxist or woke or socialist, fascist, communist, or anything on the left, is to destroy the ability to think. And the easiest way to do this is by manipulating the language and words with which people do think and reason.
It’s define or be defined. And it’s on the definitional front that all socialist and Marxist concepts simply collapse under their own weight. That’s why I always love to highlight and recall this quote made by Isabel Patterson, author of God of the Machine, published in 1943, on the nature of Marxist language.
And I quote, Marxist terminology reduces verbal expression to literal nonsense on the basis of fact and usage. His theory of class warfare is utter nonsense by its own definition. It has no reference to either class or war if it relates to capital and labor. It is physically impossible for labor and capital to engage in war on each other. Capital is property, labor is men.This is specifically the language of fools. For the deficiency which is indicated by the word fool is the incapacity to understand categories and the relation of things and qualities. Marx was a fool with a large vocabulary of long words end quote.
And we certainly saw that principle born out at the NDP convention in Canada. But rest assured, the left is just as absurd in America. Now in my own naivete about our time constraints and limitations last week, I had originally prepared the following audio byte to be included in last week’s show because it illustrated the same bizarre leftist absurdities in America that were seen at the NDP convention. But in this case, at the so-called No Kings protests that were held there during the same time period. So here’s Matt Walsh on his March 30th podcast, arguing that the No Kings protests held across America and even in Canada, as we’ll discover shortly, had reached new levels of the absurd. And he wasn’t kidding.
Clip (Matt Walsh, March 30 2026):
Matt Walsh: Well now that we get a No Kings protest every few months, it’s easy to come to the conclusion that there’s no reason to cover these demonstrations anymore. By now we’re all familiar with the routine. Bored old people see these protests as an excuse to get out of the house or the nursing home in many cases. All while feeling like they’re mounting a heroic defense against fascism. And young people, to the extent that they show up at all, collectively make a strong case for reopening the asylums, abolishing public schools, and enforcing the Communist Control Act.
For lack of a better term, these protests are freak shows. The modern-day equivalent of those old traveling circuses that put the most damage disabled and otherwise dysfunctional people on full display. And like the freak shows of old, these No Kings protests, which turned into riots in some cases, are well-funded. They’re a whole industry.
We have to begin with a note of optimism. After you see the footage of these protests, there’s simply no other way to say it. God has blessed us with truly pathetic and embarrassing enemies. The activists who want to destroy Western civilization aren’t even capable of putting on a single event over one weekend in which they don’t humiliate themselves. And in that vein, the latest round of No Kings protests was, somehow against all odds, a considerable downgrade from the No Kings rallies that preceded it.
So take this scene from the Minneapolis No Kings protests, for example. This is one of their emcees, a woman who’s apparently a comedian, and although you wouldn’t know it from anything about her, but here’s the rousing message that she delivered to the crowd. Listen to this.
Comedian Emcee: I want people to know that if you want to act like Minnesota, or you think, Minnesota’s a model, what can I do? Well, you can check your ego about what you want to do, and listen to the leadership, and when they tell you what they need done, you do that. And you pay enough attention to the amazing organizers who’ve been on the ground, who actually have the information, who’ve already done the work, instead of starting your own.
Oftentimes, you’re like, who’s doing it? It’s like someone. You just need to learn who, and then you need to be the pack mule in the fight that they have been doing and organizing, because let me tell you what, what we need is pack mules because there’s brilliant minds and brilliant leaders in this community who oftentimes are putting up the folding chairs when they should be literally strategizing, because that’s their strong suit. So be the folding chairs, people. Be the I’ll bring donuts, people, for the brilliant minds who are actually making this train run.
Matt Walsh: It feels like it has to be sad, but we’ve checked it a million times, and indeed, it is very real. As she stands at a podium that says, No Kings, she declares to the masses, quote, What we need is pack mules who will do whatever the leaders tell them to do.
So the great lesson of the No Kings movement, apparently, is that you need to exercise greater obedience to people and authority. How exactly can these same people with a straight face claim to oppose authoritarianism with these No Kings protests? Well, now, thanks to the No Kings protests this weekend, we have our answer. The answer is, shut up and be a folding chair and a pack mule. You moron. Don’t you dare question us.
They don’t actually oppose authoritarianism, obviously. They just want to be the authoritarian. And that’s why when they were asked why exactly they’re protesting, none of these people have a decent answer.
Woman 1: Waking up every day as a black woman is such a political act. So that in itself is exhausting, but like the fight never stops. So protesting this, it’s like, Hey, I still have to do this. So I can’t wait until this shit is behind us. And we don’t have to worry about people dying in ICE custody. We don’t have to worry about losing our rights as women, as black people, as any marginalized group. So got to represent.
Interviewer: And how are those rights being taken away right now? How are they being taken away right now?
Woman 1: So literally just like I have teachers as friends. And they are struggling to try to educate our kids in classrooms. So because of what this administration is doing, black women are pretty much being murdered in medical professions when we go to seek medical care. And that research is being defunded. We have to make sure that we are putting the work and stopping these things.
Matt Walsh: So she begins with the familiar refrain. She says that she’s exhausted just from being a black woman. And all these people, you know, they love to talk about how exhausted they are, which is funny because they don’t do anything. And then announced that they’re utterly exhausted by a life that is in every way more luxurious and leisurely than the life of royalty not that long ago. Egyptian pharaohs could not even fathom the level of comfort that this exhausted woman enjoys.
And then she tells us that they’re lining up black women in the hospitals. Apparently if you go to the hospital as a black woman and you’ve got like appendicitis or something, they’ll say, oh, right this way. And they’ll lead you to the back of the hospital where they immediately murder you.
Now, of course, this is actually similar to how healthcare really works in Canada, except that you’re considerably more likely to get that treatment as a white man than a black woman. That’s not what she’s talking about.
Interviewer: Why are you out protesting no kings?
Woman 2: Because I believe in the basic fundamental principles of our democracy. And if we don’t show up now, when it’s the most important time to show up, when we see those, the contract eroding, right? Our constitution is a contract. And so to not show up at this critical moment is to abandon what makes us amazing. Amazing.
Interviewer: How is the constitution eroding right now?
Woman 2: Well, the, now I’m going to sound like an idiot.
So we have the, oh my God, I can’t believe, like. All right, we have the Trump out there right now pushing up against protesters in major cities. We have Minneapolis as the main show of that and the violence used against protesters within that city. So there’s plenty of reasons I can go on and on and on, but I can’t because I’m in the middle of a protest.
Matt Walsh: Well, she’s right about sounding like an idiot at least and looking like one. She’s dressed, if you’re just listening to the audio there, she’s dressed like a banana. Why? I don’t know. And this is one thing about leftist protest is that they like to wear costumes that have nothing to do with what they’re protesting. And maybe that’s, that’s kind of a smart strategy. Honestly, the left uses it because they realize that if you want to have a successful protest, it helps to mobilize bored, weird people.
We’ll give you a sign. Doesn’t matter what it says and you don’t, what are we protesting? Doesn’t matter. Just, just coming out. Put on your costume and let’s go for a walk. Pretty good indication you don’t have a king, by the way, is if you can protest him number one all the time.
And they’re marching through the streets calling Trump a pedophile. And, and if he were anything like a king, go, go to a place that actually has… Try this, go to a place that actually has a dictator. Those exist in the, in the world. There’s plenty of them and march through the street with signs calling the dictator a pedophile and see what happens. You’re going to notice a distinct difference between your treatment there and your treatment here. I need to emphasize that I’m not cherry picking clips here. Every single time one of these people was asked to explain their worldview, it all fell apart.
Interviewer: Would you like JD Vance to be the president?
Man 1: No, I would not. Yeah, I would not.
Interviewer: Okay. Who would you like to be the president?
Man 1: Kamala Harris right now, she didn’t win, but.
Interviewer: Can I point out something that we say no kings and no authoritarianism, but Kamala Harris, no one voted for her.
Man 1: Yes, they did. Half the country voted for her. So let’s not go there.
Interviewer: No one was voted for her to be the nominee.
Man 1: Yes, they did.
Interviewer: Isn’t that what like authoritarian?
Man 1: You’re going on the wrong road right now with me. I wouldn’t go any further.
Interviewer: What does that mean?
Man 1: I’m not going to talk to you anymore. That’s what it means.
Interviewer: I just think it’s ironic that no one voted for her to be the nominee. They just selected her like a king gets selected.
Man 1: You’re not going to say your opinion, but keep it to yourself. Bye. Have a good day. See you. Take care.
Matt Walsh: I mean, I’m shocked. I would have expected, you know, really fruitful dialogue with that guy. I saw that guy, this fat old guy with orange face paint and a, you know, Burger King crown. And the moment that he’s reminded that Kamala Harris became the Democrat nominee without receiving a single vote. Suddenly he doesn’t care about democracy or kings anymore. He just wants to run away as quickly as possible.
Interviewer: It seems like there’s a lack of diversity here today that it’s mostly people who look like you and I. And I just,
Woman 3: It’s not, it is not for people, black people, for people of color to be, to get out on the street. They’re at risk when they do that. If anybody’s going to get arrested here, it’s going to be a black person. It is not safe for them and they don’t need to participate. We need to walk in their name.
Interviewer: Gotcha. Okay. Wow. Okay. What do you think about voter ID? Do you think it’s racist?
Woman 3: It’s 100% a tactic to control the population and prevent people from voting so that the only votes, so that the, so that the gerrymandering can work, so that white voters can vote in white Christian males.
Interviewer: Have you been voting blue your, most of your life?
Woman 3: I voted blue in the womb.
Interviewer: Wonderful. Yeah. If you had to vote for Republican JD Vance or Rubio, which one would you pick? If you had to.
Woman 3: I would slit my throat.
Interviewer: Ooh. Yeah. Really?
Woman 3: Yeah.
Matt Walsh: These people, they just make no attempt to form a coherent worldview at all, which is one of the things. It’s what’s why it’s impossible. It’s impossible to debate people that have no interest in being coherent, who are not coherent and aren’t worried about it.
Woman 4: No death camps on American soil!
Interviewer: Can I ask what you’re saying?
Woman 4: No death camps on American soil!
Interviewer: No cats?
Woman 4: No death camps!
Interviewer: Okay, so that’s why you’re protesting today.
Woman 4: Yeah, ‘cause those camps on death camps.
Interviewer: So where are these camps at?
Woman 4: They were in Florida, the Keys, any building that they try to put ICE camps, they death camps. If you can’t see it, you are blind as a bat. But they did in Germany.
Interviewer: So you’re saying they’re at death camps in Florida?
Woman 4: Yeah!
Matt Walsh: Her vote counts. Her vote counts, folks. Her vote counts just as much as yours. Just an insane person. And she gets to vote.
Bob Metz: It is in that last statement that the danger implied in Trevor D.’s feedback when he wrote that we laugh at our own risk is actually identified. And that danger is people like this get to vote.
This was the same point I raised last week with respect to the insane points of privileged people at the NDP conference. They get to vote.
If I really wanted to be blunt about it, I would go so far as to say that the left is incompatible with democracy itself, where voting does not represent an opportunity for change, particularly if it is a change in the right direction. So the left invented another foolish term, democratic socialism, apparently the system through which citizens and voters can vote themselves into tyranny.
You might have heard how democratic socialism has been described as one person, one vote, one time. Because after you have socialism, voting is just a formality. So much so that the most undemocratic and totalitarian countries have forced mandatory voting, like Australia, which has already reached this stage of so-called democratic socialism. The rest of the western world isn’t far behind.
There’s really not much to add to the critique of Matt Walsh’s take on the No King’s participants that he hasn’t already pretty much covered himself. And yes, as entertaining and humorous as it might be, we could go on ad infinitum, picking on the worst of the worst examples of these political activists and protesters on the left, but it’s time to elevate the conversation to its next level. Let’s hear from the best and the most articulate protesters attending these No King’s protests. People who can at least actually carry on a conversation, employing full sentences with some kind of logic behind their views.
Believe it or not, there was actually a No King’s protest held in Vancouver, BC, Canada, and which was reported on by Dan Dicks on his March 28th Press for Truth podcast. He interviewed a number of the attendees there, who sounded as nutty as some of the others we’ve already heard, but I’ve selected two particular conversations he had with a couple of protesters who were actually willing to talk and explain their views, at least up to a point.
But in addition to hearing from them on both sides of our upcoming bumper, I’ve mixed their conversation in with a January 29 philosophy podcast entitled Philosophy Coded, during which its host explains how Socrates had already identified much of the phenomenon that today’s protesters are exhibiting. It’s a surprisingly cohesive mix. First, the philosophical theory from ancient times, and then today’s living illustration of that theory in practice.
Clip (Philosophy Coded, January 29 2026 / Dan Dicks, March 28 2026)
Twenty-four centuries ago, Socrates uncovered a pattern in human psychology so dangerous that an entire city voted to kill him rather than face it. The pattern that explains why incompetent people radiate confidence, why terrible leaders never resign, why Theranos raised $9 billion, and why you’re probably wrong about something important right now. He called it the only thing he knew for certain, that he knew nothing.
First stop, a decorated general whose battlefield victories were legendary, one simple question. What is courage? Standing firm in battle, the general answered instantly, and the fool who charges into certain death, does he have courage, or just ignorance of danger? Silence. What about the person who endures years of suffering without complaint? Are they not courageous despite fighting no battles? No answer.
Next, a celebrated poet. You create beauty with every work. Surely you can define beauty itself? You know it when you see it. Then why do people disagree about what’s beautiful? Is beauty in the object or in the observer? What principle guides your pen when you write? Nothing.
He questioned politicians about justice, teachers about knowledge, artisans about excellence. Every conversation revealed the same devastating truth. These accomplished people could perform brilliantly but couldn’t explain the principles underlying their expertise. Worse, they had no idea they couldn’t. Success had created an illusion of understanding.
The general thought battlefield victories meant he grasped courage itself. The poet thought creating beauty meant understanding what beauty was, each confused doing with knowing. These experts knew less than they thought and didn’t even know they didn’t know. They were blind to their own blindness. But Socrates, he at least recognized the ocean of his ignorance. Not because he possessed superior knowledge, but because he possessed superior awareness. The people who understood the least were the most certain. They would never realize it on their own because recognizing incompetence requires the very competence they lack.
Speaker 1 (Female Scientist Protester): I think the Canadian government did very well to do with COVID. I completely support what they did.
Dan Dicks: Even when it comes to mandating all those things against people’s wishes.
Speaker 1 (Female Scientist Protester): That was for public safety, for public health. It was wise.
Speaker 2 (Male Scientist Protester): You’re talking to two scientists here. We definitely believe that the Canadian government acted correctly in the matter of public health and immunization.
Dan Dicks: Speaking of science, isn’t it highly contentious now? A lot of the science is debated. People have gone back and forth about what was good and what wasn’t.
Speaker 1 (Female Scientist Protester): Not at all.
You can buy scientist’s opinions in various things if you want to. But the majority, not at all. The scientists had been working on related work and it was just really excellent timing that the need for a COVID vaccine happened when a whole lot of the background work had already been done.
Speaker 2 (Male Scientist Protester): Especially the gene slicing work that went on in advance of developing a COVID vaccine.
Dan Dicks: What about the invoking of the Emergencies Act to shut down the legitimate protests? A judge has already ruled that was unconstitutional.
Speaker 1 (Female Scientist Protester): That’s a very poor ruling. I thought Trudeau was immensely patient. I thought it should have been shut down a long time before that. How long would you get away with standing on the average street corner and blocking public access?
Dan Dicks: We see it all the time with the Palestinian protests here in Vancouver. They do that like every week.
Speaker 2 (Male Scientist Protester): I don’t know about that. But I think that in general, your life will not be made easy if you stand up and make a fuss and make life really difficult. Stop traffic, make it so that people can’t sleep at night because it’s also noisy. I thought they waited.
Dan Dicks: Those truckers were being forced to take a vaccine or lose their job. Isn’t that a little more pushing?
Speaker 1 (Female Scientist Protester): No, it was for public health.
Speaker 2 (Male Scientist Protester): The herd immunity only works when the herd is immune. End of story. Some vaccines are required to maintain public health. And it’s a sign that in Canada the death rate from COVID was way less than in the US where the then king decided that he was better off treating himself with some drug reserved for horses than caring about people.
Dan Dicks: I don’t know if that was a real thing. That’s kind of fake news.
Speaker 2 (Female Scientist Protester): So it must be true and a lot of people will follow that.
Dan Dicks: Alright, well, yeah, I don’t want to leave you from the march. So thanks for talking to us.
Oh boy. Man, oh man, did that psyop do a number on people.
Philosophy Coded: You might think this is about isolated fools making harmless mistakes. You’d be wrong. Researcher Phillip Tetlock spent 20 years tracking nearly 28,000 predictions from professional experts. Pundits paid six figures to forecast political and economic events. People who appeared on television and advised governments.
The results. The more famous the expert, the worse their predictions. Those who spoke with absolute certainty performed worse than random chance. Worse than a dart throwing chimpanzee.
But experts who regularly used phrases like it depends and we don’t yet know, they performed significantly better. The correlation was perfect. Certainty and accuracy moved in opposite directions. The loudest voices understand the least. The people claiming absolute certainty are advertising their ignorance. Exactly the pattern Socrates exposed in Athens. Your brain isn’t designed to pursue truth. It’s designed for survival.
For your ancestors, hesitation meant death. So your brain takes surface patterns and instantly manufactures what feels like complete understanding. Uncertainty is painful. Quick certainty keeps you alive. This served them brilliantly. It serves you terribly.
Success in one domain generates confidence that bleeds everywhere. The billionaire thinks business success means he understands politics. The engineer thinks technical ability means she understands medicine. The politician thinks electoral victories mean he grasps science. Because they’re genuinely competent in their own fields, they never question whether they might be incompetent elsewhere.
Dan Dicks: Are you in support of the rally, which I guess is kind of in solidarity with what’s happened in the US I guess?
Speaker 3 (Male Protester): Absolutely, yes. Very much so. Very much in solidarity with that. I’m a Canadian and it takes a lot to get us angry.
Dan Dicks: In Canada, obviously, we’re not a republic like the US. We have a constitutional monarchy, literally have a king, right? King Charles III. Are people here in favor of kind of overthrowing or changing the system here?
Speaker 3 (Male Protester): A constitutional monarchy, all that means is that the head of state is different than the head of government. I note that in the American constitution, it’s life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. And in the Canadian constitution, it’s peace order and good government. So we’re not as concerned with this notion of freedom. We just expect our government to work for the betterment of the people. And if they don’t, we kick out the government.
Dan Dicks: A lot of them are against tyrannical governments and tyrannical regimes. And obviously that’s the point of the rally. But yet they were in favor of the tyrannical regime under the Trudeau government forcing people to wear masks not that long ago. Forcing vaccines, invoking the Emergencies Act to shut down legitimate protests. I mean, aren’t those legitimate concerns for tyranny?
Speaker 3 (Male Protester): I’m a pro-mask guy. I’m actually an advocate for that. I guess my snippy response might be, okay, don’t wear a mask, don’t get vaccinated. And in our public health care system, if you get sick, don’t knock on our door. Because we’re a team. And sometimes you’ve got to do things to get everybody across the finish line. Even if that’s carry them in a wheelchair.
I had COVID, even though I was vaccinated. And if I wasn’t vaccinated, I think I would have been dead. So please don’t tell me about fascist governments making people wear masks. I actually think that people that don’t wear masks are irresponsible people to society. They’re taking the notion of individual freedom. And they’re trumping that, excuse the pun, over collective responsibility. And we all have a need to be collectively responsible. Think of a car, you know, you’re driving a car. We all got to play by the rules and stop even if we don’t want to, because there’s a stop sign.
Dan Dicks: So you’re not in favor of tyrannical regimes, but when it comes to masking, you’re okay with it?
Speaker 3 (Male Protester): I don’t think that it’s a tyrannical regime. People were dying because they didn’t get vaccines. I think death trumps everything. And I think it was a really tough situation in the government, particularly the provincial government, provided real leadership in encouraging people to fight COVID.
Dan Dicks: Why should some people’s rights end where other people’s feelings begin?
Speaker 3 (Male Protester): Because it’s a balance between collective responsibility and individual freedom. Elected government decides where that line is. We asked the people to resolve the issue.
Dan Dicks: Well, that’s kind of what the trucker rally was all about. And then they invoked the Emergencies Act to shut it down. So that was a legitimate protest, wasn’t it?
Speaker 3 (Male Protester): I don’t know. I don’t know about that.
Dan Dicks: You just suggested that the people have to come together and fight the Senate in the common.
Speaker 3 (Male Protester): I draw the line, is there were at least some elements of the truckers that were going to go to the Lieutenant Governor’s House. They were trying to overthrow the state. They weren’t protesting that the government was wrong in this decision. They were protesting.
The government needed to be overthrown. When I saw this truckers, they really scared me. And they didn’t look like people that I thought were very thoughtful. Really, they just didn’t look like…
Dan Dicks: I went down there. I saw a lot of peaceful people. There were kids playing in bouncy castles. There were people handing out food, people shoveling sidewalks.
Speaker 3 (Male Protester): They’re the same people that would vote for Donald Trump. In the United States, they have the same mentality. The non-vaccers support Trump. Trump supports them. It’s the same bullshit ideology.
It does it. The responsibility of the individual to the community to protect others needs to be balanced with the individual freedom. And that’s the role of government to draw the line where that balance is.
Dan Dicks: Kind of forcing, you know, mask mandates and vaccines and stuff.
Speaker 3 (Male Protester): I would have forced them. I would have thrown people in jail who were refusing, who were making issues. And that’s my opinion. I don’t really want to talk anymore about it because I see that you’re interested in getting an oppositional view. And that’s enough.
Dan Dicks: I find it fascinating that people are against so-called tyrannical governments and they’re in favor of something like that. Like, violating my rights.
Speaker 3 (Male Protester): You use the word tyrannical. I would use the word responsible. Thank you very much.
Dan Dicks: Wow. Fascinating stuff. Every single one of these people I talk to out here are just so hypocritical. Absolute cognitive dissonance going on here. Absolute hypocrisy. Absolute insanity.
Bob Metz: You are listening to Just Right, broadcasting around the world and online.
Wow. From the language of fools to the logic of fools. It was truly remarkable how the observation of Socrates that the incompetent radiate confidence was so accurately illustrated by the attendees at the Vancouver No Kings slash tyrants protest that we just heard.
And as soon as I heard that couple say that you’re talking to two scientists here, I just knew we were going to get an argument from authority irrespective of the facts. And boy were those two quote unquote scientists ever confident in their complete ignorance. The cognitive dissonance they displayed was truly something to behold. The only way I can describe it is to emphasize that they were not just wrong, but double plus wrong. I mean if the events they cited for justifying their position never happened at all, then simply, you know, being wrong would have been enough.
But the bizarre and simply astounding factor in their narrative was that it actually described not something that never happened, but an account of certain actual events and conditions that they interpreted as the exact opposite of what was really going on with respect to those events.
“The reason why the COVID vaccine was able to be developed so quickly is because of a whole lot of scientists had been working on related work. And it was really excellent timing that the need for a COVID vaccine happened when a whole lot of the background work had already been done, especially the gene slicing work that went on in advance of developing a COVID vaccine.” I mean I thought for sure that she was going to credit Trump for his warp speed release of the vaccines, but that would have been inconsistent with her Trump Derangement Syndrome.
These folks just describe what those who understand what’s been going on have been calling the COVID-planneddemic with planned being the operative word. Boy it sure was excellent timing that the need for a COVID vaccine just happened to occur after a whole lot of the background work had already been done, especially you know all that gene-splicing stuff, don’t you know?
But that’s why the injections pushed on an unsuspecting public were not called vaccines, but experimental gene therapies. The shots were designed to attack the immune system and during the early release of the injections fortunately most were completely inert, just saline solutions. But thousands upon thousands of people were physically injured, made sick, or died from the injections.
People who got vaccinated overwhelmingly caught the so-called COVID disease and those who didn’t get vaccinated somehow escaped its ravages. But isn’t the science being debated? Oh not at all, not at all she says. “You can buy scientists opinions and various things if you want to, but the majority not at all.” I mean to what majority was she referring? Did she know about the petitions signed by tens of thousands of doctors and healthcare professionals condemning the vaccine mandates and shutdowns from the very beginning?
Just check out our own website and select the issue COVID or COVID-19 and you’ll see our own interviews with guests like Ches Crosby of the National Citizens’ Inquiry, highlighting Canada’s tyrannical response to COVID-19, or molecular immunologist Dr. Laura Braden reporting on the deaths of children from the quote-unquote experimental mRNA gene therapy, or Dr. Roger Hodkinson’s public condemnation of the whole COVID crime.
For us, the criminality and horror story behind all of this is old news. You can buy scientists opinions, says the scientist, but not the scientists we agree with, no, both of them. And I had to laugh out loud when the male scientist declares government forced the vaccines for public health. The herd immunity only works when the herd is immune. End of story.
Does he not recall that herd immunity was specifically opposed by the injection mob? While thousands of doctors and scientists advised to just let the public develop natural immunities as the quickest way to establish quote-unquote herd immunity, the governments and official medical propagandists were telling people to social distance and stay in their homes, the exact opposite of what you would do if you’re going to encourage herd immunity. And by the way, social distance, there’s another ludicrous Marxist term.
But to maintain such an incredible level of ignorance and stupidity on the whole COVID pandemic absolutely requires the role of a third party. In this case, the fake news media that outright fabricated all of the fictional facts to which the scientists seemed to be completely committed. You know, “the then king thought it was better to treat himself with some drug reserved for horses than carrying it with the public and he used bleach.”
Of course, the so-called horse drug, which was called that by the fake news media, was actually what we called back in August of 2020, six years ago, the smoking gun, hydroxychloroquine. That drug was totally effective in combating COVID and the government and state officials were banning it across the board because they had to justify the declaration of an emergency. And even long before that, it was obvious that there was no COVID pandemic and that the whole thing was a psyop intended to reduce population numbers. And at that, I guess it’s been pretty successful.
Then there was the relatively intellectual fellow who actually was able to discern that in the American Constitution, it’s life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, but in the Canadian, it’s peace, order and good government. So we’re not as concerned with this notion of freedom. Repeatedly, he referred to freedom as a mere notion and not as the fundamental condition that justifies the very existence of democratic government.
And hiding behind his fake intellectualism, it was clear that everything he said was based on his suffering from TDS, Trump Derangement Syndrome. I mean, like immediately after Dan Dicks reminded him about the family-friendly atmosphere during Ottawa’s Truckers Freedom Convoy, he responds with, “oh yeah, they’re the same people that would vote for Donald Trump in the United States. They have the same mentality. The non-vaxxers support Trump and Trump supports them. It’s the same BS ideology.”
I’m sitting there, to what ideology is he referring? Well, obviously to the ideology of freedom. And with that, he has just confessed that even his pretended support of vaccinations and forced masking was based on his deeply disturbed obsession with Donald Trump. Worse, he confessed to his hatred of individual freedom because it’s just the same BS ideology. And he keeps talking about being responsible to the collective and not to the truth, which he evades at every opportunity.
And by the way, his concept of collective responsibility, again, another fabricated term from the Marxist dictionary. It’s freedom and responsibility that walk hand in hand, not some forced obedience to the mob.
So here we have someone who says that it’s up to elected governments to draw the line on establishing some fictional balance between collective responsibility and individual freedom by asking people to resolve the issue. And in the same breath, he declares, “I would have thrown people in jail who were making issues. And that’s my opinion.”
I couldn’t believe it. But if people don’t quote unquote make issues, then by what process and on what principle can governments form any policies? And by the way, throwing people in jail for simply making issues is exactly what we’ve seen the left do in both Canada and the United States. I don’t want to talk anymore about it because I see you’re interested in getting an oppositional view, he says. Well, wasn’t that the whole point of Dan Dicks asking him for his opinion? I mean, the guy’s a complete commie and woke to the core. But at least he offered us far more insight into how those on the left rationalized their ideology than did any of the morons at the NDP conference or at the other no-kings protests in the states.
Remember, people like that also have a vote which explains why we have people like Trudeau, Carney, and Avi Lewis in our midst to mention a but a view.
Now, coming up next on this side of our bumper, Matt Walsh and Greg Gutfeld in their own podcast of April 9 and 10, respectively, respond to the question, is wokeness dead? While on the return side, a closing comment and valuable Socratic wisdom, as again presented by Philosophy Coded.
Clip (Matt Walsh, April 9 2026 / Greg Gutfeld April 10 2026):
Matt Walsh: All right, get ready for this. Get ready for some wokeness, the purest variety. Canadian wokeness, Canadian female minority wokeness. This is the good stuff, okay? This is the pure. This is the purest stuff on the market. So here’s Leah Gazan, who’s a Canadian politician of some kind. Well, I mean, you just have to hear it yourself. Listen.
Leah Gazan: When the budget was released, I was shocked to find out that Prime Minister Carney is cutting $7 billion between Indigenous Services Canada and Crown Indigenous Relations. They provided $0 to deal with the ongoing genocide of MMIWG2SLGBTQQIA+. This is abhorrent. This is callous.
Matt Walsh: So there is a genocide of, I had to write it down, MMIWG2SLGBTQQIA+ people. Not a joke, by the way. I mean, it is a joke unintentionally, but she did not intend that in a satirical way whatsoever. She did it with a total straight face from memory, I think, which is impressive.
The recall is amazing. Actually, I mean, imagine if it was devoted to something that isn’t total asinine nonsense. The autistic obsessive ability to rattle off random letters from memory that this woman has. She could be cracking codes. She could be deciphering encrypted messages or whatever. Instead, she’s doing this, but it’s for a good cause. It’s for a good cause. It’s for the cause of speaking out against genocide. The genocide of MMIWG2SLGBTQQIA+ people.
Which, of course, is not happening at all. How could it? I mean, I could not genocide MMIWG2SLGBTQQIA+. Even if I wanted to. I wouldn’t be able to remember who they are.
Now, in case you’re wondering, I did Google it. I Googled MMIWG2SLGBTQQIA+. And I Googled it, and Google actually came back and said that it had alerted 911 that I was having a stroke. So that was the whole thing. But after I dealt with all that, and then I got the definition of what this vomitous scroll of letters means, here’s what it means, okay? Missing and murdered Indigenous women, girls, and two-spirit lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, questioning, intersex, and asexual plus people.
So, they’ve added murdered people to the LGBT acronym, basically. Not all murdered people, just Indigenous ones, especially women. Although these people don’t think women actually exist, but let’s put that to the side. Let’s also put to the side that, by the way, like 100% of the missing and murdered Indigenous women were murdered or made missing by other Indigenous people.
But let’s forget about that for now. And let’s even forget the fact that she’s claiming a genocide, which is totally fictional and made up. But it’s a genocide against this group, and the group includes people who’ve already been murdered. How could murdered people… So, if you’re a murdered person right now, means you’ve already been murdered, right? So, if I’m conducting a genocide, how can you be the victim of it? You’re already dead.
Like, genociding the murdered population is a bit redundant, isn’t it? That’s the thing I really want to focus on here, that they’re lumping murdered people into the LGBT alphabet soup.
They’ve turned murdered into a sexual orientation. Oh, hi. I identify as a murdered… Yeah, I identify as a murdered person, actually. My pronouns are was. So, you know, we talk about is wokeness dead? I think this solves the mystery.
Greg Gutfeld: Wokeness. It’s so absurd no one takes it as real until it becomes a campaign platform. And the lunatics go from eating paste in the arts and crafts room to turning the whole world into their asylum. Right now, there are still equity audits and race-conscious hiring. There are still states pushing gender-affirming care for minors. And you got dems still pushing for reduced police forces as well as for banning ICE. It’s worse up north. Listen to this new acronym one of the Canadian members of parliament dropped recently.
Leah Gazan: When the budget was released, I was shocked to find out that they provided zero dollars to deal with the ongoing genocide of MMIWG2SLGBTQQIA+.
Greg Gutfeld: Don’t laugh. She might have fallen asleep on her keyboard, woke up and said, I can use that. But lady, can you say that again so I can write it down?
Leah Gazan: MMIWG2SLGBTQQIA+.
Greg Gutfeld: I knew that sounded familiar. Now I got to change my password to Pornhub.
So why is that Canadian acronym from that creep so horrible? Because it’s front-loaded with people who experience actual suffering, missing or dead girls. But then it’s strapped to a train of impostors leaching off their suffering, stolen valor, but reworked as stolen victimhood. It’s far worse than schools. Listen to this Canadian professor.
Professor: I have worked with four and five girls in schools who have genders that their parents don’t want them to have. Parents’ rights have suddenly been weaponized against trans and non-binary and two-spirit youth. I want us to get really comfortable with challenging right-wing Christian patriarchy. I want to say things like, you can do work around sexual orientation and gender diversity with children of all ages. And so I want us to think about these conversations in kindergarten.
Greg Gutfeld: Of course you do. You sick fat… Repulsive. Repulsive. Repulsive piece of… I’m sorry, censors, but I’m sorry. Let’s not forget the hot trend in Canadian healthcare. You’ve fallen down and you can’t get up. They don’t send an ambulance. They’ll send a hearse. So far, 76,000 Canadians have chosen euthanasia as a prescription. And ain’t just old people, or people with terminal illnesses. Which is why we got to keep paying attention. What happens up there happens here.
Marxism and socialism are still alive and well, but they take on different names and shapes. For every Castro that croaks abroad, a Zohran shows up here. And he can’t even fix my printer.
This is why you can’t let your issues with Trump prevent you from voting in 2026. The reason why Zohran won in New York is because eight million people stayed home. So if you decide to do the same in 2026, your handing power over to the people who’ve only gotten worse.
See, woke isn’t dead. It just finds a new disguise. And it slipped further into the system, which makes it a lot harder to spot. But the only thing more dangerous than a bad idea is the kind that learns how to hide.
Clip (Philosophy Coded, January 29 2026):
So how do you fight a trap that seems hardwired into human nature? Socrates developed a technique that terrified the powerful. He asked questions, not to teach. Teaching assumes you have knowledge to transfer, to expose, to reveal the gap between what people think they know and what they actually understand.
You say courage is facing danger. Is the reckless fool who charges to certain death also courageous? You say justice is following the law. What about unjust laws? Should we follow those? You say you know what excellence is. Define it in a way that includes all examples, but excludes all counter examples.
Question after question. Gentle but relentless. Until the person reached aporia, the moment you realize your certainty was illusion. Your brain treats this like physical pain. Most people recoil. Get angry. Change the subject. Attack the questioner. But it’s the only path to genuine wisdom. You cannot learn while certain you already know.
That awareness created space for doubt. Doubt created space for learning. Before committing to any belief, ask yourself, what would change my mind? If your answer is nothing could change my mind, you’ve stopped seeking truth.
Twenty-four centuries later, nothing has changed. Elizabeth Holmes stood before investors speaking with absolute certainty about revolutionary blood testing technology. Her voice unwavering, her gaze steady, her confidence magnetic. The technology never worked. Not once. But her certainty convinced a former secretary of state to join her board. A former secretary of defense, military generals, accomplished investors. She raised $700 million.
At its peak, Theranos was valued at $9 billion. Thousands of patients received incorrect test results. People made medical decisions based on fraudulent data. A room full of genuinely accomplished people couldn’t distinguish confidence from competence.
They didn’t know enough about blood testing technology to recognize they didn’t know enough. Her certainty filled that gap. It felt like knowledge. It was performance.
So ask yourself, what are you absolutely certain about that you probably shouldn’t be? Not hypothetically. What belief would you argue about online? What opinion would you bet money on? Can you explain the strongest argument against your position?
Not some weak version you can easily dismiss. But the most intelligent case someone could make against you? If you can’t, you don’t understand the topic well enough for strong opinions. When someone asks about something you haven’t studied deeply, practice three words. I don’t know.
Not weakness. In a world drowning in performed confidence, genuine uncertainty is revolutionary. It signals caring more about truth than appearing smart. The wisest person in any room is usually the one most willing to admit what they don’t know. The most dangerous person is the one who mistakes confidence for competence. Certainty for truth. Performance for wisdom. One question still separates wisdom from delusion. Are you sure you know what you think you know? If this made you uncomfortable, good. That’s aporia, where wisdom begins.
Bob Metz: While I appreciate the intended Socratic advice being adopted by an attitude of knowing that you know nothing, I would be remiss in not pointing out that the statement itself is a bit of a contradiction. Saying that you know you know nothing is still saying that you know something, not only because the statement itself confirms it, but because we also know that there ain’t no such thin as nothing, honey, because if there were, wouldn’t that be something?
Seems to me that there are only two kinds of quote-unquote knowledge. Knowing things that ain’t so, or knowing things that are so.
And knowledge is hierarchical. You can’t jump from total ignorance to understanding the nature of the universe without acquiring a lot of relevant knowledge over a span of necessary time in between one’s ignorance and one’s understanding. And that is why the stupid and ignorant will always be with us, because we’re born that way, all of us.
You know, tabula razzle dazzle and all that blank slate stuff? Hey, my pronouns are was, were, and used to be. And Matt Walsh had me on the floor laughing at the sheer destruction of language and epistemology of the left that he exposed.
And the reason that the left always operates on knowing things that ain’t so is because the words and definitions of the language they use do not correspond to reality. It’s all part of the Marxist language of fools. Marxism and socialism are still alive and well to take on different names and shapes, wisely observed Greg Gutfeld. Woke, of course, being just one of those names.
And I have to say that after his viewing the Canadian leftist horror story, I don’t think I’ve ever seen Greg Gutfeld more serious about anything on his show. His utter contempt and disgust for that sick, fat, effing, repulsive, repulsive, repulsive piece of excrement was totally deserved and earned by that sick, fat, repulsive piece of crap.
You know, her physical obesity and repulsiveness might have been overlooked or forgiven, but for her sick and repulsive gender ideology.
“I’ve worked with four and five-year-olds in schools who have genders that their parents don’t want them to have. Parents’ rights have suddenly been weaponized against trans and non-binary and two-spirit youth. I want us to get comfortable with challenging right-wing Christian patriarchy. I want to say things like you can work around sexual orientation with children of all ages. I want us to think about these conversations in kindergarten.”
My lord, the woman’s a complete sexual pervert and shouldn’t be allowed around children of any age. Why she isn’t locked up and sitting in some jail cell right now is beyond me. Maybe it’s because they wouldn’t be able to fit her in one.
If I had been one of the other people sitting on that discussion panel, there’s no way I could have stopped myself from essentially saying what Greg Gutfeld did. Wokeness is so absurd that no one takes it as real until it becomes a campaign platform. He says, which is exactly why socialism is an absurdity.
And in the interest of creating an informed electorate, it is essential that information itself be the weapon of this effort. It has been, is now, and will always be an information war, and that war being defined by the opposition between left and right. And if you haven’t got your definitions just right, then all of your knowledge and conclusions will always be just wrong, or just left. We are told that Socrates developed a technique that terrified the powerful. He asked questions, not to teach but to expose.
Well, I hope it doesn’t hurt to do a bit of both, because that’s what we plan to do when you join us again next week, as we continue our journey in the right direction. And until then, be right, stay right, do right, act right, think right, and be right back here. We’ll see you then.
Clip (Dry Bar Comedy, Kellen Erksine, March 13 2026):
Kellen Erksine: I was looking at a map of the United States, and I know that we were colonized from east to west, right to left, but it looks like it was the other way around. It looks like the founding fathers approached some guy, and they had like an outline of the future country on a piece of paper, and they gave him that and a pen, and said, listen, we need you to divide this into 50 sections. Start on the left side, and he was like, oh yeah, there is plenty of room.
And if you don’t get that, you shouldn’t be allowed to vote.
