Two teenagers intentionally run into and kill a man on a bicycle. It s just the latest example of totally arbitrary, pointless, violent crime in our cities. And it s a problem that will only get worse until we're honest about it. Also, Russell Brand has now been demonetized by YouTube over allegations made in the media from 15 years ago. Plus, another city has learned that providing safe and clean areas for people to use drugs will not lead to less drug use.
00:00:24.800In our daily cancellation, a woman identifies as a man and is horrified after her first experience in a men's bathroom.
00:00:30.580We'll talk about all that and more today on the Matt Wall Show.
00:00:54.800Vladimir Putin called the U.S. dollar's drop in dominance objective and irreversible as Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa formally agreed to use local currencies in trade instead of the U.S. dollar.
00:01:08.860As demand for the dollar weakens, the buying power of the dollar also weakens.
00:01:12.020And that's why birch gold is busier than ever.
00:01:14.160Investors and savers are looking to harness the power of physical gold held in a tax-sheltered IRA.
00:01:19.800You can protect your IRA or 401k by diversifying with gold from birch gold.
00:01:24.140As the U.S. dollar continues to receive pressure from foreign countries, digital currency, and central banks, arm yourself with information on how to protect your savings.
00:01:31.280Learn if gold is the right for you, too.
00:01:33.520Text Walsh to 989898, and they'll send you a free info kit on gold with an A-plus rating with the Better Business Bureau, thousands of happy customers, and countless five-star reviews.
00:01:42.560I trust birch gold to help you diversify into gold.
00:01:45.840If a central bank digital currency becomes a reality, it'll be nice to have some gold to depend on.
00:01:54.260You know, if you ask human rights groups, public executions are a thing of the past in the developed world.
00:02:00.040If you want to see a public execution, according to the experts at Amnesty International, you need to go somewhere truly third world, like Somalia or North Korea.
00:02:08.220Otherwise, you're not going to come across executions in the middle of the day, right out of the open, because we're more civilized than that.
00:02:15.300We might have runaway inflation that rivals the late Roman Empire.
00:02:19.500We might have state-of-the-art fighter jets that the Pentagon loses, like spare change.
00:02:23.580But at least we don't lop people's heads off in the town square because they stole a loaf of bread or whatever.
00:02:29.460What human rights groups will not tell you, because it's inconvenient for their preferred political narrative,
00:02:33.820is that public executions are now, in fact, more common in the first world than they've ever been in history.
00:11:21.220So race had nothing to do with it, but our media led with race because it allowed them to force feed the BLM narrative.
00:11:27.360If you're wondering why a certain large portion of the public still believes that black Americans are being hunted and killed en masse by whites, this is why.
00:11:34.260This is why so many people still march and shout Black Lives Matter to protest this phantom injustice.
00:11:41.360The majority of Americans are fed a carefully curated version of events that bears very little resemblance to what's actually happening in this country.
00:11:49.480You know, we talked about this before.
00:11:51.860We live in a kind of what I would call a curated reality where the media, yeah, sometimes they openly lie about what's happening.
00:12:44.400And when there's obvious racial violence, like the attacks by predominantly black offenders against Asians in San Francisco or Orthodox Jews in New York, the media simply looks the other way.
00:12:54.160If we're being charitable, which we shouldn't be, then we can conclude that these media organizations are petrified, that they might give fuel to all the dreaded MAGA Republicans and the white supremacists who are lurking around the country.
00:13:07.440And so they're lying to us for that reason.
00:13:09.700But all these concerns about racial violence, real and imagined, obscure a very uncomfortable truth, which is that the vast majority of violence in this country is not motivated specifically by race.
00:13:20.580It's not motivated by white supremacy.
00:13:23.180It's not motivated by black supremacy or any other kind of racial supremacy.
00:13:26.880So take that video of the police chief who was killed.
00:13:29.220Everyone watching that footage knows that it's likely those kids in the car would have hit that cyclist no matter who he was or what he looked like.
00:13:38.280The epidemic of violent crime is fueled not by racial animosity for the most part.
00:13:44.060Even if you use the government's cooked hate crime stats, you don't explain the vast majority of violent crime in this country.
00:13:51.140The truth is that lots of kids who were not raised to be civilized human beings are being unleashed onto the world as barbarians looking to inflict pain and suffering just for the sake of it.
00:14:05.420And that's what was happening, I think, in that video.
00:14:07.420Those were people who were just looking to inflict pain and suffering.
00:14:14.940For the most part, these are kids who aren't raised in stable two-parent households, which includes a very high percentage of black children.
00:14:21.780And without a stable family life or a father figure, these kids are going out and committing heinous, arbitrary acts of violence, and they're targeting people of all races.
00:14:30.140It's because these violent crimes are so blatant, so unrestrained, that you can often find footage of them on social media.
00:14:37.400For example, consider the viral video this week of a killing in Philadelphia.
00:14:42.820And you can see a guy, we're not going to play the clip for you, but you can see a guy standing on a street corner, looking at his phone, and then somebody in a hoodie walks by, pulls a gun, and shoots him in the back of the head before robbing him.
