Dr. Jordan B. Peterson released a documentary on DailyWire+ on Sunday featuring beloved Canadian journalist Rex Murphy highlighting the history and culture of Newfoundland and the people who call it home.
The DailyWire+ documentary, called “<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/videos/a-tribute-to-newfoundland" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Requiem for Rex Murphy: A Tribute to Newfoundland</a>,” features Peterson and Murphy diving deep into the culture of Newfoundland as they travel around the Canadian province for a week. The documentary was released for free on Sunday as a tribute to Murphy, who died earlier this month after a battle with cancer.
“Newfoundland is a persona,” Murphy, who was born in Newfoundland, says in the documentary. “It is a presence. There is no place that has so magnetic a hold on the people who have grown up here. The fealty that Newfoundlanders have for their place, it mimics the emotional bond of family.”
Murphy became known to many Canadians through his writing for the National Post and work on Canada’s “Cross Country Checkup,” which he hosted for 21 years.
Peterson and Murphy began their tour by climbing up Signal Hill for a view of Newfoundland’s St. John’s Harbor. Murphy explained that Signal Hill was important because it was the point where wireless communication was first made between North America and Europe.

After visiting Signal Hill, Peterson and Murphy toured a variety of locations including small fishing towns and historic sites to speak with local tour guides and fishermen. They also visited the town of Bonavista, where European explorer John Cabot is said to have landed in the 15th century.
The two also visited the city of Gander, where many Americans were stranded after the air traffic stop that followed the terrorist attacks on September 11.
“For me, going to Newfoundland, where there&#8217;s an overwhelming experience of beauty to see the past alive and preserved and so beautifully done,” Peterson says. “And I&#8217;ve been thinking about that. You know that as there are more and more people on the planet and as the weight of the present and the future grows ever greater, the past becomes increasingly valuable, increasingly invaluable.”
In a tribute <a href="https://nationalpost.com/opinion/without-rex-murphys-scrutiny-our-politics-will-become-even-more-barren#:~:text=Rex%20Murphy%20was%20a%20man,those%20who%20are%20truly%20good." target="_blank" rel="noopener">article</a> celebrating the life of Murphy for the National Post, Peterson described his experience filming the documentary. Peterson wrote that the weather was perfect for the visit with lots of sunshine, which was unusual for an area known for its cold and stormy weather.
“We could not believe our luck: a guided tour of the ports and towns of Newfoundland, that hidden gem, with none other than the man whom anyone with any sense would most devoutly hope for as a guide! Perhaps everyone will enjoy the trip as much as we did when it is released,” Peterson wrote.

There’s no point in trying to fight the law when Judge Walsh is on the bench because the law always wins.
This week’s <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/episode/on-demand-tinder-lies-family-ties">episode</a> of “JUDGED by Matt Walsh” reminded everyone of that lesson brilliantly. The Daily Wire podcast host, best-selling children’s author, and theocratic fascist handed down two wise, fair judgments in cases dealing with Tinder lies and family ties – or lack thereof.
First, a woman’s boyfriend stood accused of destroying her apartment after finding another man inside. Kristine Singh was seeking $5,000 in damages for her ruined property. The heavily tattooed defendant Greg Long insisted his actions were justified in light of the situation. 
“He broke into my apartment and broke everything,” Singh said of her boyfriend. “Should I start from the beginning?”
Judge Walsh replies, “Usually the best place to start is the beginning, I’ve found.”
“So, I had just gotten out of surgery,” the plaintiff explained. “Greg picked me up and then took me to my apartment, and one of my girlfriends and her boyfriend came over, and my girlfriend ended up getting, like, super drunk.”
Singh continued, “And Greg wasn&#8217;t helping at all with the things that I needed, like ordering me food or just taking care of somebody when they&#8217;re sick. So I kicked everyone out and I invited over another one of my friends, and they came over and helped me take out the trash, do the dishes, and clean my apartment, and essentially just cater to me while I was healing from my surgery.”
She said she met this friend on Tinder. 
Judge Walsh confirmed the details of the plaintiff’s story. “[Greg] was not fulfilling his job as a nurse on the first night. And you fired him?” he said.
“Yes, I did,” Singh replied. 
“So you invite this other gentleman over, who is just a friend, that you met on that friend meeting site called Tinder,” Walsh said. 
“This is a normal thing that people do,” the judge added after discovering these events took place in the wee hours of the morning. “They invite people who are just friends over that they met on Tinder at 2 a.m.”
The plaintiff said her Tinder friend spent the night in her bed but was fully clothed and sleeping on top of the covers. She admitted she was naked but wearing a robe. She awoke to hear the defendant using the keypad to enter her apartment. Once he gained entry and found the other man there, she claimed he smashed her laptop and items in her living room and kitchen, plus tried to take money from her dresser.
Singh said the police arrived at her apartment and could not find Long, who had fled the scene. She was then granted a five-day restraining order.
Long then had a chance to tell his side of the story. 
He claimed he did help Singh following her surgery but not to her liking, which prompted her friends to suggest he leave because he was upsetting her. Long said he returned the next morning expecting to see the friends passed out in the living room, but instead discovered the plaintiff in bed with another man, which he said prompted him to react in anger.
“My mind starts racing through, like, I had just given her, like, two months rent for her just so she doesn&#8217;t have to work because she just had the surgery,” he told the judge. “And I started thinking, I&#8217;ve also supported this girl all the time. So my first thought was, I wanna get my money back. So that&#8217;s when I went to grab the cash. And when the cash wasn’t there, I was like, all right, I&#8217;m going to get it back somehow. So I started breaking things.”
Long continued, “Not the most logical thing to do. She starts calling the cops. I figure it&#8217;s probably my time to leave. That&#8217;s about the whole thing.”
Ultimately, Judge Walsh handed down the verdict with a heaping dose of hard truth. He told Miss Singh that while her case was “airtight,” he was forced to also consider how she lost her “victim status” by choosing to remain in a relationship with a man prone to violent outbursts. 
Tune in to <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/episode/on-demand-tinder-lies-family-ties">episode 7</a> to hear the rest of the verdict.
Up next, Judge Walsh made a ruling in the case of an angry veteran who accused his brother-in-law of breaking a prized display piece that sat on his mantel. 
Plaintiff Raymond Bentley jumped right into explaining his complaint. “I think somebody really, really disrespected me,” he told Judge Walsh. “I&#8217;m an Army veteran. Served my 20 years. I have acquired some things that I&#8217;m really proud of. One of them is a home, a wife, a child. In that home, I had a fireplace. There was a special place for me.”
He continued, “I had a spot that I wanted to put my flag on after I retired. I came back from a little visit, a little trip, and that flag was broken. It was on the ground. Nobody knows who did it. I have a belief that this gentleman did it. I don&#8217;t think my wife would have done it or my daughter, and I&#8217;m kind of upset about that.”
Bentley went on to explain how he believes the defendant, Treondus Castillo, intentionally broke the flag display case because he wanted his mother’s urn in that spot. He explained how the urn was there originally but he replaced it with the flag. 
The plaintiff said he preferred to keep the urn outside to “scare away” crows and crooks.
“Why is the mantel so important to you?” Judge Walsh asked. 
“Just military indoctrination as you serve,” Bentley replied. “And years and years, and you hear your predecessors say, yeah, I got a spot on my mantel. I got a spot on my mantel. That makes you say, you know what? I got a spot on my mantel, too. It&#8217;s just an earned right.”
Judge Walsh next turned his attention to the defendant. 
“Okay, Mr. Castillo,” he said. “I&#8217;ve been trained in the art of lie detection. I&#8217;ve watched, at this point, three YouTube videos about it. I know the signs. Did you break the flag case?”
“No, I did not,” the defendant said, removing his glasses and looking the judge in the eyes. Walsh got out an oversized magnifying glass for a closer look as the courtroom erupted in laughter.
Castillo went on to describe his relationship with the plaintiff at the judge’s request. “It&#8217;s ridiculous,” he said. “We were good friends. He was cool at one point, but now it&#8217;s just ridiculous. He’s constantly looking for little things to nitpick and argue about. And so on and so forth. It&#8217;s tiresome.”
Judge Walsh observed that he had no idea mantels were such a big deal in military culture or in general. “I&#8217;ve never talked about a mantel,” he said. “All of the time I&#8217;ve spent talking about a mantel in my life has been right now.”
When the judge asked Castillo for his theory on who broke the flag case, he deferred. “There&#8217;s a couple of different possibilities,” the defendant said. “I&#8217;m not going to be the one to point fingers.”
“So you&#8217;re not going to point fingers at your sister, but you&#8217;re pointing fingers at your sister?” Walsh asked, inspiring Castillo to reply, “Well, I’m just kind of opening the door.”
Judge Walsh asked the bailiff’s thoughts, to which he replied he wasn’t sure what a mantel was.
Finally, it was time for Judge Walsh to deliberate and return a verdict. <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/episode/on-demand-tinder-lies-family-ties">Tune in</a> to episode 7 of “JUDGED by Matt Walsh” to find out if any damages are awarded and if the bailiff ever figured out what a mantel is.

A mobile billboard is driving around Los Angeles — including a big Netflix comedy event — this weekend, displaying the trailer and details about the much-anticipated premiere of “<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/show/mr-birchum" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Mr. Birchum</a>,” The Daily Wire’s first animated comedy series. 
The digital billboard is 7 feet tall and 12 feet long and is made to resemble a school bus since the show centers on a junior high woodshop teacher voiced by series creator Adam Carolla. The mobile billboard is driving around some Southern California hotspots, including Hollywood, West L.A., Culver City, Santa Monica, and Venice Beach. 
On Saturday, the billboard also targeted the “Netflix is a Joke” comedy festival, which featured comedians such as Kevin Hart, Trevor Noah, and Chelsea Handler.

L.A. is where “Mr. Birchum” was first created as a character by Carolla 30 years ago on the “Kevin and Bean Show,” which aired on L.A.’s KROQ radio station. 
“In 1994, I was a boxing coach. I was training Jimmy Kimmel to box. Jimmy, the sports guy back then, for KROQ radio, for a morning stunt. He thought I was funny. He said, ‘I think I can get you on the radio. But you’ve got to come up with a character,&#8217;” Carolla told Daily Wire Editor Emeritus Ben Shapiro.
Carolla added, “I said, ‘I don’t do characters.’ He said, ‘You better come up with one.’ And I came up with a character called Mr. Birchum. Thirty years ago on KROQ radio in Los Angeles for the morning show.”
Carolla said the Mr. Birchum character  “immediately became insanely popular,” adding, “This is how I got into show business.”
“Mr. Birchum” centers on the eponymous character, a woodshop teacher navigating Teddy Roosevelt Junior High with his family — Wendi (Megyn Kelly), Eddie (Kyle Dunnigan), and stepdaughter Jeanie (Brett Cooper). Partnering with his friend Gage (Alonzo Bodden), Mr. Birchum faces off against a progressive poster child for change, the fanatical social justice warrior, Karponzi (Tyler Fischer).
Other big names in the series include Sage Steele (Deena), Danny Trejo (Switchblade), Patrick Warburton (Burly Man), Jay Mohr (Coach Murphy), Rob Riggle (Gunderson), and Roseanne Barr (Principal Bortles).

The Daily Wire’s “<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/show/mr-birchum" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Mr. Birchum</a>” series premiere drops at 9/8 Central on Sunday night, exclusively on DailyWire+.
“Mr. Birchum,” The Daily Wire’s first animated comedy series features a list of stars, including the show’s creator and the voice of Mr. Birchum, Adam Carolla. The first episode will be available for free to everyone with the rest of the series available to <a href="https://get.dailywire.com/birchum/?utm_campaign=birchum&amp;utm_medium=paid&amp;utm_source=googlesearch&amp;utm_content=na_subscriptions&amp;gad_source=1&amp;gclid=CjwKCAjwrvyxBhAbEiwAEg_KgmgCEmCBKjKe2DpLDwB3ZRXRRJHS4UWgwuisG_eQWugy9rM6LhY3TRoC6GQQAvD_BwE" target="_blank" rel="noopener">DailyWire+ members</a>, who can watch the no-nonsense woodshop teacher face off with JEDI (Justice, Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion) officer Karponzi in a clash of traditional craftsmanship against modern values, starring Carolla, Megyn Kelly, Roseanne Barr, and more.
Viewers can also stick around for the Q&amp;A post-show following the premiere of episode 1.
Carolla was on the Sunday edition of “<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/podcasts/morning-wire" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Morning Wire</a>” this morning to discuss the new DailyWire+ show and reveal what viewers can expect from the comedy series.
“Whatever turn society takes and whatever bothers regular folk, normal people, we will skewer,” Carolla said. “So Birchum just sort of represents normal people who don&#8217;t get any of this crap. And that&#8217;s what you should expect Birchum to attack.”
“At a certain point, this stuff started being forced upon us and fed to us, and then I think that was the problem, like a lot of normal people [said], ‘I don&#8217;t want to know your pronouns, or I don&#8217;t want to embrace the trans movement, or Hamas, or anything like that, and I like to walk outside without a mask,’” he added.
Carolla previously <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/adam-carolla-tells-ben-shapiro-the-origin-of-mr-birchum" target="_blank" rel="noopener">told</a> Daily Wire Editor Emeritus Ben Shapiro that he first created Mr. Birchum as a character 30 years ago on the “Kevin and Bean Show,” which aired on L.A.’s KROQ radio station.

Daily Wire co-CEO Jeremy Boreing, who is the executive producer of the series, said, “Hollywood wouldn’t make ‘Birchum’ today because they’ve stopped making comedies altogether for fear of offending the ‘wrong’ people – so we realized we had to do it.”

“This is a project that’s been 30 years in the making. So what’s the origin of ‘Mr. Birchum?’” Shapiro asks.
“In 1994, I was a boxing coach. I was training Jimmy Kimmel to box. Jimmy, the sports guy back then, for KROQ radio, for a morning stunt. He thought I was funny. He said, ‘I think I can get you on the radio. But you’ve got to come up with a character,'&#8221; Carolla explained.
He continued, “I said, ‘I don’t do characters.’ He said, ‘You better come up with one.’ And I came up with a character called Mr. Birchum. Thirty years ago on KROQ radio in Los Angeles for the morning show.”
Carolla said the character “immediately became insanely popular” and added, “This is how I got into show business.”
Next, Shapiro asked about the character and what he represents. “Who was the character? Why did it become so popular?” he asked.

“He’s an amalgamation of every mean shop teacher I had in junior high,” Carolla replies. “I went to Walter Reed Junior High, and I had Mr. Gage and Mr. Smith and all these horrible shop teachers. They were angry guys with big mustaches and big forearms who loved woodworking and hated kids.”
“Even as a 13- or 14-year-old, I thought it was interesting that these guys went to school every day to work with kids, but hated kids,” he continued.
“They loved their shop. And they looked at it as their shop, and the kids were sort of a nuisance and an annoyance who were coming in and who were using their tools. That’s sort of the approach for every shop teacher I had. And so, as I went through life, I would tell people, ‘Did you ever have a mean shop teacher?’ And they’d go, ‘Oh, mine was the worst!’”
Carolla said, “I sort of realized everyone had a shared experience of the horrible, mean shop teachers. And I thought, I’ve never seen an ‘SNL’ sketch about a mean shop teacher. No one has captured this guy. But I’ll capture him. And that’s where Mr. Birchum was born.”
Carolla voices Mr. Birchum, a no-nonsense teacher navigating Teddy Roosevelt Junior High with his family — Wendi (Megyn Kelly), Eddie (Kyle Dunnigan), and stepdaughter Jeanie (Brett Cooper). Partnering with his friend Gage (Alonzo Bodden), Mr. Birchum faces off against a progressive poster child for change, the fanatical social justice warrior, Karponzi (Tyler Fischer).
Other celebs involved in the project include Sage Steele (Deena), Danny Trejo (Switchblade), Patrick Warburton (Burly Man), Jay Mohr (Coach Murphy), Rob Riggle (Gunderson), and Roseanne Barr (Principal Bortles).
“Adam Carolla created Birchum back before Barack Obama killed comedy,” Daily Wire co-CEO Jeremy Boreing previously said of the series.
“Of course, Hollywood wouldn’t make ‘Birchum’ today because they’ve stopped making comedies altogether for fear of offending the ‘wrong’ people – so we realized we had to do it.  We teamed up with Adam and some of the funniest people we know – Roseanne, Rob Riggle, Patrick Warburton, Tyler Fischer, and so many more – to bring back the irreverent patriarch in a truly hilarious comedy that doesn’t care who it offends.”

U.S.

Megyn Kelly said “we need a guy like Birchum more than ever” as she sat down with her fellow cast members of The Daily Wire’s first animated sitcom series “<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/show/mr-birchum">Mr. Birchum</a>,” the show that will go where mainstream comedy won’t.
During “The Megyn Kelly Show” podcast on <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t1v8cwFuCtc">Sirius XM</a> on Wednesday, the host spoke with Adam Carolla, the creator of the new series about the no-nonsense junior high woodshop teacher, Mr. Birchum, who’s firmly rooted in his traditional convictions and fearlessly confronts a world he deems baffling and mediocre.
Carolla told Kelly that the idea of the character he voices was based on “all the shop teachers I had in junior high school,” who he said were these “tough, scary, big forearm guys who hated kids and were mean as hell.” 
“But [they] liked the idea of getting paid to be indoors around this equipment and work in a wood shop,” Carolla added. “So, these are guys who didn’t go to college. Never wanted to work with kids. Didn’t want to mold society or help shape youth.”
“So, I always had in my head that it was a funny archetype that here were these guys going to school everyday to work with kids but they hated them,” Carolla continued.
Kelly pointed out the insanity of the radical anti-Israel protesters on college campuses across the country and said the country needs more Birchums in school.
“I will say, the timing for this is perfect,” the host said. “But we need a guy like Birchum more than ever. We could use more like Mr. Birchum in our K-12 and college education right now because we are producing a bunch of soft [people].”
One such person Mr. Birchum must face off with regularly is the extremely woke Karponzi, a fanatical social justice warrior, played by comedian Tyler Fischer. Carolla told Kelly that Karponzi basically represents “society at large.” 
“Karponzi is really a compilation of all the idiots who have been trying to force this [woke] stuff down our throat for the last 10 years,” Carolla said. “His character represents everybody who was wrong about COVID-19, [wrong about] anything that comes down the pike.”
Created by Carolla more than a decade ago, “Mr. Birchum” has a star-studded cast that includes Kelly, Fischer, Roseanne Barr, Jay Mohr, Kyle Dunnigan, Daily Wire&#8217;s Brett Cooper, Danny Trejo, Sage Steele, and more.

Cooper was also on the show where she and Kelly joked about being mom and daughter on &#8220;Mr. Birchum,&#8221; with Cooper voicing Birchum&#8217;s daughter and Kelly his wife.
The Daily Wire host said she grew up as a child actor in Los Angeles for ten years and later went to college at UCLA. During the pandemic, she said her life changed and it was then she decided to speak out about &#8220;politics, values, current events, and culture&#8221; by making videos online, becoming a voice for the Right for a generation that was inundated with leftist ideology.
&#8220;When COVID started happening I was faced with a lot of anger and hatred from friends at college,&#8221; Cooper said. &#8220;These were close friends I was about to live with next year&#8230;and all of that sort of blew up in my face. I was like &#8216;Oh, my gosh I disagree with all of you.'&#8221;

There’s no predicting what kind of cases will come before the Honorable Judge Walsh, but for fans of “<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/show/judged-by-matt-walsh" target="_blank" rel="noopener">JUDGED</a>,” it’s guaranteed that they’ll be absolutely hilarious. Because as the wise judge likes to say, if you don’t like it, there’s something wrong with you.
This week included family members of both the human and feline variety, which is made all the more exciting for anyone who knows how Walsh feels about cats. An animal presented on evidence in the courtroom? Yes, it’s just another day for the “<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/episode/on-demand-episode-6-delinquent-daughters-cat-custody-battles" target="_blank" rel="noopener">JUDGED by Matt Walsh</a>” audience.
First up, April Lee is suing her daughter for $1,000 for allegedly borrowing her car and returning it damaged. 
“Suing your own daughter is an interesting parenting strategy,” Judge Walsh says by way of greeting. “I&#8217;ve heard of putting them in timeouts, taking away privileges. I&#8217;ve never considered litigation against my kids. So why are we here? Why has it come to that?”
Lee said she caught her daughter taking the car without permission and claimed she crashed it into a carport, which resulted in damage. “We need to teach her some responsibility,” she tells the judge.
The plaintiff showed photos of the car before it was damaged, including images of herself posing with the vehicle to prove how happy she was to have the car. Judge Walsh asked if she also had a picture of herself looking sad next to the dented car, which inspired the courtroom to erupt into laughter.
“Nothing that’s happening here is fine,” the judge said. “I&#8217;m trying to remind you, this is a court of law, and there&#8217;s nothing that we do here for a laugh.”
When Walsh asked Lee if her daughter had taken anything else, the plaintiff said her daughter was responsible for a stolen outfit and machete, because someone else had taken them out of the car when she was using it without permission.
The defendant Brianna Carrington insisted she didn’t take the car on the occasion in question, though she admitted to borrowing it in the past.
The two women argued back and forth over when and how Carrington used the car, which Walsh attempted to unravel. Carrington suggested that her stepfather took the car because he didn’t want to be “cussed out” by Lee. 
Walsh reminds Lee that if the defendant had to use alternate transportation such as Uber to get to her mom’s house and back home, it doesn’t make sense that she would then steal the car to go work on the Las Vegas strip. But Lee insisted that her daughter admitting to using the car seven times before meant she likely did an eighth time as well.
“Miss, Carrington…. Do you know what the fifth commandment is? It’s honor thy father and mother,” Judge Walsh begins. “Miss Lee, do you know what the 11th commandment might have been if there was one? It might have been, ‘Don&#8217;t sue your child on a TV court show.’ You would be in violation of that commandment.”
Ultimately, the judge delivers a wise and fair verdict which you can see by <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/episode/on-demand-episode-6-delinquent-daughters-cat-custody-battles" target="_blank" rel="noopener">tuning into episode 6</a> of “JUDGED by Matt Walsh.” 
The next case on the docket deals with the care and feeding of a cat.
Taylor Mae is suing her friend Taylor Spicer for $2,500 to recoup money spent taking care of that friend&#8217;s cat. She said the defendant hasn’t paid for food, kitty litter, or anything since she began taking care of the animal for “a couple of years.”
Mae said she had multiple conversations with her friend after taking the cat in, but didn’t bring up the burden of caring for the pet while the defendant’s family was ill because she didn’t want to be “confrontational.”
“You don&#8217;t like being confrontational with your friends, so instead, you sue them in court?” Judge Walsh confirms.
“Yes, Your Honor,” Mae replies with a laugh.
The plaintiff said her friend finally came and picked up the cat after three years but never paid her for anything she purchased during that time to help care for the animal. Next, Mae and the defendant got into an argument over the cat’s name, which Mae says is Pepsi and Spicer says is Midnight. Their argument goes back and forth until Judge Walsh bangs the gavel.
Judge Walsh next addresses the defendant. 
“Now, Miss Spicer, what I&#8217;m hearing is that you are a negligent cat owner who abandoned your cat for years. And then came back into the picture like the deadbeat dad who disappears, who leaves to go to the store and doesn&#8217;t come back till the kids have graduated high school,” he begins, prompting Spicer to insist there’s “more to the story.”
She explained how she gave the cat to Mae while she cared for her ailing grandparents, and then wasn’t “in a stable place” to take the cat back after they both passed away.
“Why do you need to be stable to have cats? I thought cats were for unstable people. The majority of women who have cats are unstable,” Judge Walsh said.
“That’s true,” Spicer replied.
After some more background to the story is established, the judge tells the courtroom that the cat is present. “I do not normally allow wild beasts in my courtroom. But in this case, I think certainly one thing that will help in my deliberations is to find out who the cat prefers,” Walsh explained. 
Brief chaos ensues as the cat runs all over the courtroom before the bailiff picks it up. “I think he likes me,” the bailiff observes as he cradles the animal. 
“Well that settles it, the bailiff gets the cat,” Judge Walsh says.
“This has made a mockery of this fake courtroom,” he adds of letting the animal join proceedings in the first place.
Following deliberations, Judge Walsh says, “This has been an adventure. The bailiff is now covered in cat piss. Miss Mae, Miss Spicer, you have come to me with a dispute over a cat. You both have claimed custody of the cat. You both have claimed the right to name the cat. I&#8217;ve deliberated over this, extensively, for many long seconds, and I have come to a conclusion now.”

Court is back in session with the Honorable Matt Walsh presiding. Episode 5 of “<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/show/judged-by-matt-walsh" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Judged by Matt Walsh</a>” was just as full of twists and turns as the four that preceded it. The theme of this week was “boundaries” – or lack thereof.
First up, plaintiff Sabine Beauchamp explained how she was suing her brother for engaging in a romantic relationship with her boyfriend and causing her “emotional distress.” She was seeking $2,000 to account for her emotional turmoil plus all the money she put into the relationship.
“I found out that he was sleeping with my man at the time,” Beauchamp began before Judge Walsh cut her off.
“I already don&#8217;t want to hear anything else about this case. Case dismissed,” he replied, before reluctantly agreeing to hear more details about the sibling drama.
Beauchamp went on to discuss how she’s very close with her brother and started sharing details about a new boyfriend she met on Tinder. The plaintiff said she must have told her brother “too many details” because it made him want to also become involved with the man she was seeing. 
Next, Beauchamp described introducing her boyfriend to her brother after six months of dating. During the introduction, which took place at a bar, she recalls them giving each other “googly eyes.” 
Judge Walsh asked the bailiff to describe “googly eyes.” The bailiff said they come from the arts and crafts store, which caused the judge to temporarily lose his patience and bang the gavel. 
“Are you telling me that a woman has never given you googly eyes? Is that what I&#8217;m getting from this?” Walsh asked, which caused the bailiff to hang his head. “Why did it have to get sad like that?” Walsh said.
Beauchamp continued laying out her case. She said her brother went to use the bathroom, and a few minutes later her brother also said he had to go to the bathroom. Walsh observed that while women are known to use the restroom at the same time, it’s not as common for men.
“In fact, if I notice that I&#8217;m going to the bathroom and there&#8217;s a guy that I know also going to the bathroom that I&#8217;m going to, I don&#8217;t want to go be in the bathroom at the same time as him. So one of us has to peel off. This should be suspicious to you – not just suspicious, but this is like a glaring warning sign that something&#8217;s going on,” the wise judge said.
Defendant Jam Dubuisson insisted that nothing was going on between him and his sister’s boyfriend. The bailiff was instructed to read text messages submitted as evidence, which he did with the added flair of making a kissing noise to reflect the kissing face emoji. 
The text message reading got even wilder as the bailiff imitated the see no evil monkey emoji after comments made about how the other person’s body looks in certain outfits.
“Please take these out back and burn them,” Judge Walsh instructed the bailiff after viewing printouts of the text exchange 
Dubuisson denied that the text messages were from him. “My sister has a tendency that when things go wrong, she comes up with somebody else to blame,” he said before producing texts of his own which he claimed proved Beauchamp and her boyfriend broke up because she admitted to cheating.
The bailiff acted out the text exchange once again, sending the courtroom into fits of laughter.
“I think back to a time just this morning when I hadn&#8217;t met either of you or heard your story. And I wish I could recapture that lost innocence, that ignorant bliss, that happiness that is now gone from my life forever,” Walsh said before awarding damages. 
Tune into the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/episode/episode-5-eskimo-siblings-naughty-santa-on-demand">full episode</a> to find out how Judge Walsh ruled on the dispute.
Next up, plaintiff Rick Shaw stood before the mighty throne of justice, seeking to be paid for batteries he picked up while at work. Shaw said he works as a professional Santa Claus. He clarified that he “didn’t do malls” but rather visited people’s houses “where they’re comfortable.”
After some confusion over whether Shaw asked the defendant, Deanna Maye, for money to reimburse him for purchasing batteries, which he first claimed to not remember doing, more drama about the situation was revealed.
Shaw said he asked the defendant at one point if she would be his “number one elf.”
“Now, I want you to think long and hard about this question before you answer it. But when you looked at Miss Maye, what made you think, oh, she&#8217;d be a great elf?” Walsh asked.
“Because she&#8217;s little,” Shaw replied. 
“So you looked at her and said, ‘Oh, you&#8217;re short. You could be an elf,” Walsh replied. 
“Yeah,” Shaw said.
“Wait, are there not services that Santas can go to to find an elf?”
“I&#8217;m sure they are, Your Honor.”
“Is there not, like, a Craigslist for short people?”
“You&#8217;re right,” Shaw said. “There could be, but I just happened to meet this lady and thought she would be perfect for the job.”
Shaw next described how he had a tendency to “run his mouth,” which led to him referring to the defendant’s mother as his “future mother-in-law.” 
Judge Walsh confirmed that Shaw was already married. He next made an astute observation. “I’m going to go out on a limb on this one,” Walsh said. “Your current marriage is not your first?”
“Oh, no, no,” Shaw responded.
“How many times have you been married?” Walsh asked.
“Uh, the lady I’m married to now is number seven,” the plaintiff admitted.
Next up was Maye’s chance to tell her side of the story. 
She said she did agree to work as an elf alongside Shaw, as a volunteer, despite what she perceived as inappropriate behavior on set together in the past. Maye produced proof of herself setting boundaries with Shaw after he allegedly proposed to her while they were working together for the second time.
The bailiff was again asked to read the text exchange. For Shaw’s messages, he threw in a few “Ho Ho Hos,” which Judge Walsh chastised him for.
“You&#8217;re submitting things into evidence that are false. That&#8217;s perjury. You&#8217;re committing perjury,” Walsh said as the courtroom erupted in laughter.
Following deliberation, Judge Walsh delivered the verdict.

JUDGED by Matt Walsh Ep. 5

‘JUDGED By Matt Walsh’ Ep. 5 Deals With Boundaries And A Naughty Santa

In a wide-ranging <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/episode/is-he-the-last-real-democrat-robert-f-kennedy-jr" target="_blank" rel="noopener">interview</a> with Democrat-turned-independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Daily Wire Editor Emeritus Ben Shapiro challenged Kennedy on how he squares his stance on abortion with the Catholic faith he grew up in.
During their hour-and-a-half discussion, Shapiro challenged Kennedy&#8217;s position on abortion in particular. Shapiro explained that abortion opponents are concerned about the child&#8217;s bodily autonomy as well as the mother&#8217;s, and pointed out that the Catholic Church opposes abortion. Like many in his family, Kennedy is a Catholic.
Kennedy said he believes every abortion is a &#8220;tragedy,&#8221; but that the issue is &#8220;more nuanced and complex.&#8221;
Shapiro responded that abortion is, &#8220;not just a tragedy. It&#8217;s a crime against the child because the child has an independent interest. What do you say to that?&#8221;
&#8220;I say that I understand that position, and I don&#8217;t agree with it,&#8221; Kennedy said, adding that he believes &#8220;the solution of having the state come in and dictate choices that a woman is making is not a good solution.&#8221;
&#8220;You don&#8217;t believe that the child has an independent right to life, for example, at any point during the pregnancy?&#8221; Shapiro asked.
Kennedy said he doesn&#8217;t think any woman obtains an abortion in the eighth month for a &#8220;frivolous reason&#8221; and that the abortions that do occur that late in pregnancy have an &#8220;extenuating circumstance.&#8221; He said he does not want to give government the power in those situations.
&#8220;You know, you and I will differ on that,&#8221; Kennedy said. &#8220;And I understand your position. I have tremendous respect for you for having that kind of absolute moral clarity on that position.&#8221;
Kennedy also said he does not support &#8220;federal policy&#8221; that pushes women toward abortion as their only solution. He emphasized that American society should do everything it can to make sure women have &#8220;other choices,&#8221; especially when it comes to pregnant women who lack the money to support a child.
&#8220;I don&#8217;t think that that should ever be a reason in this country for a woman not carrying her child to term,&#8221; Kennedy said.
The Sunday Special discussion, which can be viewed on DailyWire+, also touched on how people can find community in the modern technology-saturated world.
&#8220;The death of church, the death of community in the United States, that seems to be one of the giant creeping problems that everyone is ignoring, the fact that we do in fact need people to go to church,&#8221; Shapiro said. &#8220;What do you think is going to happen in terms of community building? How do we fill that gap?&#8221;
Kennedy said he tends to &#8220;viscerally agree&#8221; with Shapiro&#8217;s point, but he added that, &#8220;churches don&#8217;t necessarily bring people together. They also divide people.&#8221;
Kennedy started his presidential campaign as a Democrat in the primaries, but he changed his bid in October to run as an independent.
Polling from this month shows him at 8.5%, with President Joe Biden at 40.3% and former President Donald Trump at 41.9%. Those numbers put Kennedy on track to be the most successful independent presidential candidate since Ross Perot in the 1990s.

Sunday Special

The star-studded cast of the upcoming comedy “<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/show/mr-birchum" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Mr. Birchum</a>” just got brighter with the addition of former ESPN anchor <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/sage-steele" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Sage Steele</a>.
Fans have been eagerly awaiting the premiere of the animated comedy starring comedy legend Adam Carolla in the titular role. The ensemble cast includes previously announced personalities including Danny Trejo, Rob Riggle, Patrick Warburton, Tyler Fischer, Alonzo Bodden, Kyle Dunnigan, Jay Mohr, Megyn Kelly, and Brett Cooper.
Steele joins the cast in the role of Deena, who is married to Mr. Birchum’s best friend Gage.
The TV host made headlines in 2021 for speaking out against ESPN’s vaccine mandates. Steele later sued ESPN and settled the case in 2023 before leaving the sports network. She currently hosts “The Sage Steele Show” on YouTube, which Bill Maher announced last month as the first show for his newly launched podcast network Club Random Studios.
Steele said she was excited to be part of the comedy dream team on “Mr. Birchum.”
“When I got the call from Adam and the Daily Wire team to be part of ‘Mr. Birchum,’ it was a no-brainer for me!” the sports anchor said in a statement.
“I’m a huge fan of everyone involved and am honored to be included in such a powerhouse lineup of comedians. In this insane cultural moment, it’s more important than ever to speak the truth, even when it’s unpopular. ‘Mr. Birchum’ does this in such a hilarious fashion, and I’m thrilled to be part of such a fun, unapologetic project.”
Adam Carolla voices Mr. Birchum, a no-nonsense teacher navigating Teddy Roosevelt Junior High with his family — Wendi (Kelly), Eddie (Dunnigan), and stepdaughter Jeanie (Cooper). Partnering with his friend Gage (Bodden), Mr. Birchum faces off against a progressive poster child for change, the fanatical social justice warrior, Karponzi (Fischer).
Birchum also has the help of some fantasy mentors including the ghost of his gym teacher, Coach Murphy (Mohr) and the frozen dinner icon Burly Man (Warburton). Barr plays Principal Bortles while Riggle appears as Birchum’s nemesis, Gunderson. Trejo, meanwhile, is a reformed gang member named Switchblade.
The show was first announced at the premiere of The Daily Wire’s first ever feature length comedy, “<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/videos/lady-ballers" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Lady Ballers</a>.” Daily Wire co-founder Jeremy Boreing previously discussed why comedies like “Mr. Birchum” have become so integral in the entertainment world.
“Adam Carolla created Birchum back before Barack Obama killed comedy,” Boreing said in December. “Of course Hollywood wouldn’t make Birchum today because they’ve stopped making comedies altogether for fear of offending the ‘wrong’ people – so we realized we had to do it.”
“We teamed up with Adam and some of the funniest people we know – Roseanne, Rob Riggle, Patrick Warburton, Tyler Fischer and so many more – to bring back the irreverent patriarch in a truly hilarious comedy that doesn’t care who it offends,” he added. 
Kelly agreed that being part of the cast was “so fun.”
“I really just did this because Adam asked me to, and I love Adam. I was like, this is not my thing — I’m usually pretty good at knowing what my ‘thing’ is. And they were like, ‘just try it, just try it!’ It was so fun. I cracked up, I was crying when I saw the script,” she said of the project.
“There’s so much goodness for our side, the side of normalcy, the side that doesn’t get offended at everything,” Kelly continued. “It’s just refreshing to be a part of something like that.”
“<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/show/mr-birchum" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Mr. Birchum</a>” premieres Sunday, May 12, on <a href="https://get.dailywire.com/subscribe/plus/?utm_campaign=dwplus&amp;utm_medium=paid&amp;utm_source=googlesearch&amp;utm_content=na_subscriptions&amp;mid=g&amp;cid=dailywire&amp;xid=0&amp;gad_source=1&amp;gclid=CjwKCAjwoa2xBhACEiwA1sb1BOhhXMxtCqYr8qxB6rwZ6W6KSxv18U4Ch_fMwT0C5s--OPW40-T93xoCTIgQAvD_BwE" target="_blank" rel="noopener">DailyWire+</a>.

Sage Steele Joins Star-Studded ‘Mr. Birchum’ Cast Ahead Of Animated Comedy Premiere

Sage Steele Joins Star-Studded 'Mr. Birchum' Cast Ahead Of Animated Comedy Premiere

Another week, another batch of crazy court cases on “<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/show/judged-by-matt-walsh" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Judged by Matt Walsh</a>.” Episode 4 did not disappoint as it brought audiences two real cases of perceived injustices, this time in the form of stalkers and influencers. Buckle up, because this is going to be a bumpy ride.
First up, Nigel King sued his ex-girlfriend for $4,000 following a bad breakup. 
Walsh established that the couple met in the hospital where King worked after Perez initially came in as a patient. After disclosing that she had the flu when they met, Walsh wondered aloud what about her “feverish, sweaty state” King found “so appealing.”
The plaintiff went on to describe how Perez started visiting the hospital all the time after her initial visit, leading co-workers to warn him that he may have a “stalker.”
King said Perez “pretended she was sick” and would also “linger in the hallways.” Shortly after, King said the two bumped into each other at a bar, which Walsh implied was clearly a setup. He questioned King on why he chose to become romantically involved with a suspected stalker.
“What is a red flag if stalking isn&#8217;t a red flag?” Judge Walsh asked. “Does she need to be in the process of murdering you before you say, ‘Oh, this is a little bit troubling. I don&#8217;t want that.’”
King explained how he “hooked up” with Perez one time and then cut off contact with her. Then an anonymous person called the hospital to tell his manager that “sexual activity” had happened in the parking lot in an apparent attempt to get him fired. The plaintiff next showed Judge Walsh photos of his car after it was vandalized. He said Perez admitted to vandalizing the car.
Walsh’s first question for the defendant was, “Do you often go to hospitals looking to pick up men? Is that what a hospital is to you, like a singles club?”
<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/episode/stalkers-influencers" target="_blank" rel="noopener">WATCH EPISODE 4 OF &#8216;JUDGED BY MATT WALSH&#8217; ON DAILYWIRE+</a>
The judge got Perez to admit that she was stalking King. The defendant said she was “triggered” when King stopped responding to her text messages. 
Walsh asked the defendant what she hoped to accomplish with her retaliation. “Clearly he’s not interested. So my question is, do you think you&#8217;ll convince him to be interested by making compelling arguments through text message?” he asked.
Perez explained how they continued hooking up and then presenting evidence of their continued relationship by showing the judge text messages between them. “Wow, you have an interesting way of cutting off contact with people,” Walsh told King.
Following deliberation, Walsh laid down the law. 
“You know, they say that people do crazy things when they&#8217;re in love, but I&#8217;ve found that it&#8217;s more accurate to say that people do crazy things when they&#8217;re crazy,” he began. “Love has really nothing to do with it. Your behavior through this whole ordeal is, of course, utterly indefensible.”
He told King that while it should be an open and shut case, his decision to remain involved with Perez was a mistake. 
“You know, there are something like 4 billion women in the world,” Walsh told the plaintiff. “And even if only a tiny fraction of them would be available to you, it still leaves you enough options that there&#8217;s no good reason for you to still have any contact with a woman who has gone out of her way repeatedly to make your life as difficult as you possibly can. I always wonder how it is that men end up with women like this.”
Watch the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/episode/stalkers-influencers" target="_blank" rel="noopener">full episode</a> to find out how Judge Walsh ruled on the dispute. 
The next case was all about influencers. Plaintiff Elo Copeland describes herself as a “content creator” who made a video with the defendant, Kaylan Striggles, after meeting him at a content creator meetup.
“Don&#8217;t take this the wrong way, but I would rather be thrown into a vat of acid than go to a content creator meet up and be surrounded by content creators,” Judge Walsh noted before letting her continue. 
Copeland went on to claim that the pair collaborated on the video, she acted in it and did improv, and it received 19,000 views. But the defendant didn’t give her any of the money he earned after posting it on social media. 
The plaintiff said Striggles had paid her $25 to $50 for past videos with fewer views, but said she’s now seeking $1,000 because this video was their most viewed collaboration yet. Copeland said the video had been posted a year prior.
Judge Walsh confirmed that no formal financial agreement was made before making this video. 
Addressing Striggles, Walsh said, “According to Ms. Copeland, you are nothing but a low rent thief. Which, if true, would mean that you are just like 99% of people who call themselves content creators.”
The defendant insisted that as a content creator, he gets “millions of views.” 
Striggles said he made $1,700 on the video in question, which Walsh immediately questions and calls a “gross overestimation.” He responded by procuring the receipt from Meta.
After deliberating, Walsh handed down his judgment. 
Addressing Ms. Copeland, he said, “Let me explain a basic concept to you. If you want someone to pay you for the work you perform for them, you need to bring that up beforehand, not days after the work has already been completed. So what you generally do is you say, ‘This is how much I&#8217;d like to be paid for this work that I&#8217;m going to do.’”
