All that and more on today s SHOCKER OF SHOCKERS.
00:00:00.260Today on the Matt Wall Show, shocker of shockers, it appears the Biden administration is lying about the Brittany Griner trade.
00:00:05.400Evidence suggests they did indeed choose her over other Americans trapped in Russia, like former Marine Paul Whelan.
00:00:11.040We'll talk about that. Also, Elon Musk releases more documents revealing the truth about how Twitter was run behind the scenes.
00:00:17.040And with this latest release, yet another right-wing, quote, conspiracy theory has been confirmed.
00:00:22.020Plus, the Biden administration's most notorious luggage thief is added again.
00:00:25.340And Jennifer Lawrence applauds herself for being the first woman ever to star in an action film.
00:00:30.820Apparently, Jennifer Lawrence has never seen any movies aside from the ones that she's been in.
00:00:34.600All of that and more today on the Matt Wall Show.
00:00:45.620You know, I know as well as anybody that it can be really hard to maintain a healthy lifestyle when you've got a busy schedule and you're always looking for excuses and life can provide those excuses.

00:01:43.600When we first heard the news that WNBA player Brittany Griner was being released from the tainment in Russia in exchange for the world's most notorious arms dealer, a man our own government has nicknamed the merchant of death, some of us were immediately suspicious about the reasoning behind this decision.
00:02:00.000This was especially the case given the fact that other Americans like former Marine Paul Whalen, schoolteacher Mark Fogle, were left to languish in Russian labor camps while the basketball player was brought home.
00:02:11.680As we talked about yesterday, the Biden administration claims that they didn't choose to leave Whalen out of it.
00:02:17.260As far as Fogle goes, they're not even acknowledging his existence at all, really.
00:02:21.320They say that Russia never gave them any option.
00:02:23.820It was either trade for Griner or for no one.
00:02:26.940And of course, if that was the case, given what they're being asked to give up, they should have just chosen no one in that case.
00:02:33.500I mean, Joe Biden, literally hours before finalizing this deal, and not a lot of people noticed this yesterday, but hours before finalizing this deal,
00:02:41.680he was speaking at a vigil to honor victims of gun violence, and then proceeded to orchestrate the release of the world's most notorious gun runner.
00:02:50.940So if they really took gun violence seriously, they wouldn't be so willing to release a man like that back into the wild,
00:02:57.700especially while they also tell us that Putin is a crazed dictator bent on global destruction,
00:03:05.580and that the war in Ukraine is just the first step in Russia's attempted takeover of the world.
00:03:10.620I mean, I've always been quite skeptical of that claim, but if it's true,
00:03:13.260you probably don't want to give him back his merchant of death at a time such as this.
00:03:17.580And perhaps, you know, what we're learning here, shocker of shockers, is that the Biden administration,
00:03:24.060when it comes to the topics of Russia or gun violence or anything else, doesn't take its own hype seriously.
00:03:32.220But at any rate, most of the analysis, even the critical analysis of the Griner swap,
00:03:36.380has assumed that it's true that they could only bring home Griner or no one.
00:03:41.440If indeed it is true, the trade is still scandalously stupid,
00:03:47.600but it becomes a scandal of an entirely different level if it isn't true.
00:03:51.380If, in fact, they chose Griner over other Americans who had been, by the way,
00:03:56.200suffering in captivity for far longer than she had been.
00:04:00.500Personally, I assumed that was the case from the beginning.
00:04:03.220I assume it because I reflexively disbelieve everything this administration says.
00:04:07.380Also because a Griner or no one offer from Russia makes it easier on the White House.
00:04:15.720Russia would actually be doing the White House a favor by saying,
00:04:18.880we'll give you her or we'll give you nobody.
00:04:20.880Because it just makes it a simpler choice.
00:04:23.620But Russia is not interested in making things easier.
00:04:25.900It puts Biden in a more precarious and politically difficult situation
00:04:30.980to make him choose which American he wants.
00:04:34.740And so it just makes logical sense that Russia would prefer to put him in that situation.
00:04:39.820Especially because they likely knew that he would humiliate himself and his country by extension
00:04:44.700by choosing the lesbian basketball player over the Marine.
00:04:49.360And by the way, I just saw, and we can't play the clip because it's in Russian,
00:14:06.480It's been a hard year on the economy, and that means that essential practical gifts will be in high demand this year.
00:14:12.380Well, you can give the most essential gift of all, America's best meat and seafood from Good Ranchers.
00:14:17.340With discounts on orders of five boxes or more, you can save on gifts for the whole family.
00:14:22.280When you give a box of Good Ranchers, you're giving them a true steakhouse experience with 100% American USDA prime and upper choice cuts of beef, chicken, and seafood.
00:14:31.500Other meat delivery companies and even your local grocery stores, they import lower quality meat from overseas.
00:14:36.960Don't give your friends and families less than America's best this year.
00:14:39.880Not sure what to order? Well, Good Ranchers now offers gift cards so you can let your friends and family members choose for themselves or give the gift of a subscription and inflation-proof someone's meat budget.
00:14:50.380Go to GoodRanchers.com, use code Walsh at checkout to get $35 off your order.
00:14:55.320That's GoodRanchers.com, code Walsh for $35 off.
00:14:59.240Good Ranchers, American meat delivered.
00:15:03.680This had to be, before I move on to the Griner, move on from the Griner news,
00:15:08.300I wanted to mention this had to be some kind of record, I think, competing anyway, maybe not a record, but competing for fastest cave to the woke mob.
00:15:18.040Micah Parsons, who's a Cowboys, a place for the Cowboys, a pass rusher, he tweeted immediately after the Griner news was made public,
00:15:25.860he tweeted in reaction to it and made the point that many of us are making and are still making.
00:15:31.540He says, wait, no, we left a Marine? Hell no.
00:23:18.120So I think a lot of the statements behind the statement and the question behind the question is, look, shadow banning is a very widely defined term.
00:24:49.640Although all this was being done behind closed doors in secret and is now being brought to light by Elon Musk.
00:24:55.940Now it is true that Jack Dorsey was, was kept out of the loop on, on a lot.
00:24:59.420It would seem there's this vast bureaucracy that was built up on Twitter.
00:25:06.620And I heard someone on Twitter put it as, as, you know, Twitter had its own, effectively its own deep state.
00:25:13.960And, but the advantage of Twitter being a private company, it can be taken over and just all those people can be fired, which is exactly what Elon Musk did.
00:25:19.100So Jack Dorsey was kept out of the loop on something.
00:25:20.980But, but at the same time, I think that it's pretty clear that he knew what he was saying there is not true.
00:25:25.960Um, especially the idea that the shadow banning and all of that was, was not ideologically biased.
00:25:33.480I mean, we have, now we have the documented evidence of the conversations that were going on behind the scenes.
00:25:37.740And they were targeting certain accounts and looking for reasons to get rid of them.
00:25:40.980And if they couldn't do that, then they would just suppress them.
00:25:43.200And, um, and we know that now, now I will admit to a certain amount of jealousy, you know, uh, that's, uh, that they, they released the, the, the, uh, blacklist files for certain accounts.
00:25:57.740Like, you know, Charlie, Dan, and lives at Tik TOK.
00:26:00.880I would love to see my own blacklist file.
00:26:02.980That's, uh, I, I would, I would love to see what that looks like.
00:26:06.120But it's, I, I know for 100% certain, obviously that I've been targeted the same way.
00:26:12.120I also know, as I mentioned before, that they did this, you know, Barry Weiss's Twitter thread.
00:26:17.680She says that they also targeted Twitter.
00:26:19.640There were certain trends that they would target people that they would shadow ban and suppress, but then also trends.
00:26:25.420They're like things they didn't want trending.
00:26:27.220And, uh, one of those things I know for 100% certain was what is a woman, you know, because when we first announced the film and we were promoting it and it was climbing up the trending list and made into the top 10.
00:26:39.280When we first announced the movie, put the trailer out and, uh, and then in like 30 seconds, it just disappeared from the trending list completely and never returned.
00:26:47.680Uh, which is pretty clear that something was done behind the scenes saying this is, we're not going to allow this to trend.
00:26:53.640So I'd like to see my blacklist file, I think, but not just mine, you know, we need to see all of this.
00:27:00.100So it's, it's good that Elon Musk is doing what he's doing.
00:27:03.700Um, he's already done more to expose the way things are rigged behind the scenes.
00:27:14.020He's doing more in that area than anyone else in my lifetime.
00:27:19.000Certainly any, any more than any other than any, than any elected Republican, for example, has ever done.
00:27:27.760And so we need to see all of this release all the files.
00:27:31.580Everybody that was on a blacklist released that release everything, put a database out there so that we can access it and we could see everything.
00:28:59.000So the timeline isn't exactly clear, but what we do know is that he's stolen at least two suitcases now.
00:29:06.260That on top of everything else we know about him, about him being a dog fetishist, BDSM enthusiast, gives classes on, um, on spanking and, you know, it goes and gives spanking one-on-one classes at college, colleges and all that.
00:29:17.840So all that stuff we know, and now he's also a, uh, uh, serial luggage thief on top of it.
00:29:25.100And by the way, just to be clear again, I see some people accusing him of being a kleptomaniac, like he has some sort of compulsion to steal.
00:29:33.900He is being driven by compulsion, but it's not a compulsion to steal.
00:29:37.440It's pretty clear what he's doing here.
00:29:39.840He's stealing luggage from women because he's a cross-dressing fetishist and, uh, he has a thing for stealing women's clothes and wearing them.
00:29:49.740Which is why when the first, uh, item of, uh, was taken, when the first, when the first piece of luggage was taken, they never did recover any of the clothes.
00:30:00.360It's, it's, it's even creepier, a lot creepier than simply being a kleptomaniac.
00:30:06.200This is a, uh, a pervert who is being driven by his perversions and has no control over them, apparently.
00:30:15.640I mean, to, to steal luggage from an airport in the first place, when the whole, when, when, you know, there are 10 cameras watching you at any given moment, that's already insane.
00:30:27.980But to do it again, after you've already been arrested the first time, uh, this just shows, this is someone who has no control over their actions.
00:30:36.300A pervert who is driven by those perversions and yet was a high ranking official with a high security clearance.
00:30:44.400Now, this is a point I want to, I might, I might flesh out a little bit more next week, um, because it's an important point, but I do want to mention one other point, one other thing about this.
00:30:55.280Which is that I think the Sam Britton case, I mean, it shows a lot.
00:31:00.580Um, it, it, it shows why it's suicidally stupid to hire people based on, um, you know, diversity, equity, and inclusion for that to be the litmus test.
00:33:53.700All right, John Kerry, whose official title is U.S. Special Presidential Envoy for the Climate, was asked this week about the possibility of the U.S. paying climate reparations, whatever those are.
00:34:08.400And not just on its own behalf, but on behalf of other countries, too.
00:34:14.060Footing their bill to pay money to heal the climate, to appease the nature gods.
00:34:21.560So back on the loss and damage fund, though, I mean, is there going to have to be U.S. taxpayer money that helps the United States?
00:34:28.600Presumably the United States is going to have to be one of the nations that contributes to that.
00:34:31.780Well, it would be great if there were some.
00:34:34.840I mean, the United States of America, proudly, is the largest humanitarian donor in the world.
00:34:43.940The American people already do an enormous amount around the world.
00:34:52.040So we should be doing some of that, he says.
00:34:53.920We should be paying for other countries.
00:34:56.840We all need to be paying climate reparations.
00:34:58.600And again, it's not exactly clear what that is or how that would.
00:35:02.260So you pay money, and then it changes the weather.
00:35:07.280Not sure I see the connection there, but we should be doing it on behalf of other countries, too.
00:35:11.760And then I always love when these people say, well, the American people, they're already contributing so much and doing so much.
00:35:19.900Yeah, we are, because this is our money.
00:35:22.480But you make it sound like it's our choice, which it isn't.
00:35:25.180You're making it sound like this is our, you know, all the foreign aid that we give out, all the money that we give to foreign governments.
00:35:32.900No taxation, you know, there's no taxation.
00:35:35.760There's no representation in this taxation.
00:35:37.900We're giving money to foreign governments.
00:35:39.780Have no idea how they're going to spend it.
00:35:45.600American families don't benefit from that money because we give it to foreign governments.
00:35:49.080And yeah, we're doing all of that, but it's not our choice.
00:35:51.040This is all happening against our will.
00:35:55.840But, you know, we've long since normalized this idea, and a lot of people have grown accustomed to this idea of the United States government handing out checks to foreign governments.
00:36:08.060Billions and billions and billions of dollars to dozens and dozens of foreign governments every single year with no accountability whatsoever.
00:36:35.040She spent rainy days leafing through a guide to sharks and Reader's Digest.
00:36:39.540Every summer, she would watch Shark Week, which is Discovery's annual TV event that spotlights the ocean predator with seven days of dedicated programming.
00:36:49.260But when the scientists appeared on her TV screen, she rarely saw any women she could look up to.
00:36:55.040Why would I know I could do that, Whitenack said?
00:36:57.460I don't come from a family of scientists.
00:36:59.780I didn't see very many people that looked like me on television.
00:37:02.940Whitenack, now a biology professor at Allegheny College in Pennsylvania, found her way into shark research anyway.
00:37:08.480When the pandemic lockdowns began in 2020, she saw an opportunity to study the sources of her old misconceptions.
00:37:14.480Was Shark Week feeding audiences the wrong messages about sharks and who studies them?
00:37:20.340Whitenack led a team of researchers to examine hundreds of Shark Week episodes that aired between 1988 and 2020.
00:37:26.180This is the kind of research that's being done.
00:37:28.980This is the kind of scientific research that's being funded these days.
00:37:34.180If you're wondering what the scientists are working on, you know, like why haven't we gotten back to the moon yet?
00:37:40.720Why don't we have a cure for cancer yet?
00:37:42.160Well, the scientists are working on this sort of thing.
00:37:44.840Looking into the diversity in Shark Week programming.
00:37:49.840In a study published last month by the Public Library of Science, their research claims that Discovery's programming emphasized negative messages about sharks, lacked useful messaging about shark conservation, and overwhelmingly featured white men as experts, including several men with the same name.
00:38:09.180The programming featured more white experts and commentators named Mike than women.
00:38:15.060So they're even looking at, there are not just too many white men who are studying sharks, but there are too many white men named Mike.
00:38:22.600Can we at least get some other names in there?
00:38:31.260David Schiffman is a conservationist at Arizona State University, was a co-author on the study.
00:38:36.800When there are hundreds of people of color interested who work in this field, and when my field is more than half women, maybe it's not an accident anymore that they're only featuring white men.
00:38:47.180Discovery did not respond to a request for comment on the study's findings.
00:38:50.080And by the way, that's not because Discovery is just going to laugh this off, as they should, okay?
00:38:55.920It's not because they're laughing it off and saying, what their response should be, yeah, their response should be like, are you kidding me?
00:39:03.280But no, they're just, they're talking to their PR people, and eventually they're going to issue some, you know, mea culpa, come to Jesus, great, grand apology.
00:39:11.640If they haven't already, I haven't even looked up, this story's a few days old, so they may have already done this.
00:39:15.360You know, outlining all the steps they're going to take to make sure there's more diversity in Shark Week programs.
00:39:24.900The company told NBC Boston that it wouldn't comment on a study that has yet to pass any scientific approvals after a preliminary version was presented in 2021.
00:39:32.700It has since undergone a scientific review.
00:39:36.780Well, we could continue reading that if you want, but I think we probably don't need to.
00:39:39.420We are, and we are so far beyond the bounds of parody at this point that I did, I read through the entire thing because I was honest to God expecting that they would also say that the focus on great white sharks in particular is racist,
00:39:53.840or that there's some kind of encoded message there that we're always taught, oh, great white.
00:40:00.320Like, unironically, I was expecting that would be in there, and it wasn't, but nearly as absurd as that.
00:40:07.420And remember, it's not just that there's not enough diversity among people who are talking about sharks, but also that it is painting a negative message about sharks.
00:40:33.720Don't make biased, stereotypical assumptions just based on the fact that there is this prehistoric death machine swimming right next to you.
00:40:44.320One thing for sure, next year's Shark Week, okay, after this, next year's Shark Week, you've never seen diversity like what they're going to do.
00:40:53.160Every single shark expert, I guarantee you there will not be one white male shark expert allowed in next year's Shark Week.
00:41:03.000You're going to see, there's going to be a black shark expert.
00:41:04.920They're going to find women, they're going to throw in some trans shark experts.
00:41:09.740And if there aren't any trans shark experts, they'll just bring in some trans people in general, whether they know anything about sharks or not.
00:41:15.280Maybe they'll bring in a trans person who's seen the movie Jaws and get their comment on it.
00:41:20.520But you've never seen diversity like what we're going to see next year.
00:41:26.140All right, let's get to the comment section.
00:41:27.680T'was a show before Christmas and through the studio, no other host was stirring, not even Shapiro.

00:42:07.420The sweet babies were nestled all snug in their beds, while visions of walruses danced in their heads.
00:42:14.480Then over on Twitter there arose such a clatter, I was trending on the timeline for some erroneous matter.
00:42:24.840But I ignored it like every other time, shrugging off the satanic unhinged blue hair slime.
00:42:31.200Then my merch-making elves created a collectible new batch, adding to my coveted program, the Sweet Santa Baby Patch.
00:42:40.980They'll sell out from my store, so don't wait, don't stop.

00:43:53.020Tie My Shoes says, I'm convinced Dylan is a top-tier troll.
00:44:00.640Dylan Mulvaney is clearly playing a character role to the hilt like Sacha Baron Cohen's Borat or Bruno.
00:44:05.500And he's laughing at everyone who is embracing his clearly ridiculous portrayal of girlhood while also raking in the dollars, some kind of twisted genius.
00:44:18.120This is, I heard there were similar theories were bandied about that the Canadian teacher with the ridiculous prosthetic breasts.
00:44:27.860And there were people theorizing that maybe this is a troll.
00:44:31.380Maybe this is actually someone who's conservative and is trying to make a point about, you know, the excesses of gender ideology.
00:44:39.820So that seems to be the theory here as well.
00:44:41.720Again, the theory really is that, so if this is true, then Dylan Mulvaney, not only a comedic genius, but this would actually be quite heroic.
00:44:49.840Because if this is a troll and he's doing all of this to mock gender ideology, he's getting all of these sponsorships and everything, when eventually he says, hey, see, I got you.
