00:00:00.000 Today on the Matt Wall Show, Kamala Harris's new running mate seems to be guilty of stolen
00:00:03.780 valor. That's a sin that Americans across the political spectrum universally condemn.
00:00:08.180 So how did this guy end up on the ticket? And will it sink Kamala's presidential campaign?
00:00:11.880 We'll discuss. Also, Tim Walls goes to a church that teaches God is non-binary and encourages
00:00:15.940 his congregants to celebrate Ramadan. What does that tell us about the kind of guy he is?
00:00:20.580 And three black women won gold, silver, and bronze in gymnastics at the Olympics. But did
00:00:24.980 they actually earn the medals? Or has this become the DEI Olympics? We'll talk about all that and
00:00:29.480 more today on the Matt Wall Show.

00:02:24.660 that Tim Walls will be the running mate for her on the ticket. And in that time, it's already become very
00:02:30.040 clear how Walls has enjoyed such a successful political career in Minnesota. It's not because
00:02:34.640 he's achieved anything notable for people living in the state, aside from making major cities far
00:02:39.300 more dangerous. It's not because he's especially charismatic or intelligent or compelling to listen
00:02:44.200 to. Walls is none of those things. Tim Walls is the governor of Minnesota because the local media
00:02:49.880 under orders from the state's political machine protected him for nearly two decades. They created
00:02:55.200 a false persona, Tim Walls, the war hero turned folksy teacher and shut down any attempt to
00:03:01.700 scrutinize his background. Specifically, the media buried evidence that Walls is a fraudster who has
00:03:06.880 repeatedly and openly lied about his military service. Maybe the one moral infraction that
00:03:11.580 Americans still universally condemn regardless of party is the one that he has apparently committed.
00:03:18.040 But Walls is on the national stage now, which means he's receiving a lot more scrutiny from people
00:03:22.580 who actually care about the truth. And it doesn't appear that Walls' allies or Kamala Harris' campaign
00:03:28.060 were remotely ready for this scrutiny because with each passing day, they're inadvertently providing
00:03:32.420 even more evidence that Walls is guilty of stolen valor. For instance, this is a video that Kamala
00:03:37.200 Harris' official campaign account uploaded themselves on social media the other day. It shows Walls
00:03:42.500 speaking about his opposition to gun rights and listen to how he frames it. Here it is.
00:03:47.500 Hope woke up like many of you did five weeks ago and said, Dad, you're the only person I know who's in
00:03:51.920 elected office. You need to stop what's happening with this. I'll take my kick in the butt for the
00:03:55.760 NRA. I spent 25 years in the Army and I hunt. And I gave the money back. And I'll tell you what I
00:04:00.420 have been doing. I've been voting for common sense legislation that protects the Second Amendment.
00:04:04.200 But we can do background checks. We can do CDC research. We can make sure we don't have
00:04:07.960 reciprocal carry among states. And we can make sure that those weapons of war that I carried in war
00:04:12.340 is the only place where those weapons are at.
00:04:16.280 Now, the fact that this video was uploaded by Kamala Harris' team tells you the extent of their
00:04:20.660 vetting and their competence, they just uploaded footage of their VP lying about his military
00:04:26.120 service, apparently without even realizing it. Now, in that clip, Walls says that he carried
00:04:30.240 weapons of war while he was serving in the war. But Walls never gets around to saying what war he
00:04:36.000 was serving in because there wasn't one. He deployed to Italy with the Minnesota National Guard. And
00:04:41.460 this was long after World War II ended. So Italy was not a combat zone at the time that he was there.
00:04:46.140 There was no war in Italy. Therefore, he never carried a weapon of war in war. He's lying pretty
00:04:52.440 flagrantly about his military service. Now, Walls' defenders will try to parse what he said very
00:04:58.300 carefully and suggest that, well, he wasn't really, you know, he wasn't claiming that he was in a
00:05:02.380 combat zone. He was referring to the global war on terror. And it's the global. So anywhere on the
00:05:08.100 globe, technically, he's in the war. And they'll suggest that Walls carried rifles as part of that
00:05:13.000 effort, maybe in training or maybe while he was at some guard post at an airfield somewhere.
00:05:18.140 So therefore, they'll say his statement is technically accurate. This is obviously a very
00:05:22.320 strained attempt to change the clear meaning and implication of what Walls said. There's no
00:05:26.820 reasonable person who would say that, you know, he was carrying a weapon in war if he was sitting
00:05:32.760 around a non-combat post in Italy. Now, Walls and his defenders have specifically gone to great
00:05:38.160 lengths to associate him with Operation Enduring Freedom in Afghanistan in a way that's as misleading
00:05:43.200 as possible. Alpha News reports that on his gubernatorial campaign website in 2018,
00:05:48.980 Walls' biography stated, quote, he joined his battalion overseas in support of Operation Enduring
00:05:53.520 Freedom. Now, that's somewhat close to the truth, but it's deliberately misleading because it doesn't
00:05:58.880 clarify exactly where Walls was stationed. Even more egregious, the Washington Free Beacon reports
00:06:05.340 that in 2006, Walls' campaign announcement described him as a veteran of Operation Enduring Freedom.
00:06:12.520 And during the 2004 presidential race, Walls also held a sign that read Operation Enduring Freedom
00:06:17.640 Veterans for Kerry. It was purposefully misleading at best. It was all clearly designed to create the
00:06:25.060 impression that Walls had served in a combat role in Afghanistan when he hadn't. But Walls kept saying
00:06:30.820 it. Also in 2004, as Jordan Shatchell reported yesterday on his substack, the Bloomberg reporter
00:06:37.100 Joshua Green, who was then employed by the Atlantic, repeated this lie. Green wrote that Walls had left
00:06:44.220 his home down, quote, to serve overseas in Operation Enduring Freedom. At points, the implication was even
00:06:50.100 more explicit. In the Atlantic profile, Green states that Walls was a command sergeant major who just
00:06:56.360 returned from fighting the war on terrorism. And this alleged service, Green says, is why Walls was
00:07:01.600 chosen by Democrat Party elites for a career in politics. Green writes that these operatives were
00:07:06.120 looking for, quote, veterans from wars in Afghanistan and Iraq when they stumbled on Walls. Now, it's obvious
00:07:13.020 that Walls fed lies to this reporter and to the public going back two decades in order to portray himself
00:07:19.180 as a war hero. But he was not a war hero. He was a coward who abandoned his unit, abandoned his own
00:07:27.180 National Guard unit. The moment he learned that his battalion was going to go to Iraq while his
00:07:32.000 congressional run was underway, Walls quit. In a March 2005 press release, Walls claimed, quote,
00:07:38.560 I don't want to speculate on what shape my campaign will take if I'm deployed, but I have no plans to drop
00:07:44.000 out of the race. He said his wife will be a major part of his campaign, quote, whether I'm in Minnesota
00:07:50.620 or Iraq. And Walls' press release concluded, quote, if called to duty, Walls would leave behind his wife,
00:07:57.060 Gwen, and four-year-old daughter, Hope. But Walls avoided that situation just by quitting the National
00:08:03.360 Guard. Walls was a command sergeant major at the time that he quit, and that's a rank he accepted,
00:08:09.020 knowing that it came with responsibilities, but Walls didn't meet those responsibilities.
00:08:12.400 So he was demoted after he left the military. But Walls kept on referring to himself as a command
00:08:19.040 sergeant major anyway, which is yet another instance of stolen valor. It's like someone who wears a
00:08:24.560 ranger tab because they were selected for ranger school and then failed. I mean, it's a lie. It's
00:08:30.060 just not true. As just the news reports, quote, the Minnesota National Guard confirmed Wednesday that
00:08:35.520 Governor Tim Walls, Kamala Harris's vice presidential running mate, was demoted and did not retire as a
00:08:41.320 command sergeant major like he has claimed for years, including on his official gubernatorial
00:08:45.700 biography. While Walls temporarily held the title of command sergeant major, he retired as a master
00:08:50.920 sergeant in 2005 for benefit purposes because he did not complete additional coursework at the U.S.
00:08:56.420 Army Sergeant's Major Academy, according to Army Lieutenant Colonel Kristen Ogue, the Minnesota
00:09:02.280 National Guard state public affairs officer. Now, separately, Alpha News spoke to Tom Behrens, the
00:09:10.580 actual retired command sergeant major who replaced Walls. And here's his assessment of Walls and his
00:09:18.540 cowardice and deception. Listen. He's back again to wage a public war of words against Tim Walls.
00:09:25.680 He abandoned us. You know, I mean, what the hell kind of leader does that? I mean, he just as soon as the
00:09:30.940 shots were fired in Iraq, he turned and ran the other way and hung his hat up and quit. We'll get to
00:09:37.040 Behrens new message for voters in a moment. But this all starts years earlier when Behrens says Walls
00:09:43.000 misleading statements about his military service first led him to come forward in the fall of 2018.
00:09:49.320 So you try to get this message out. The Minnesota's largest newspaper checks it out,
00:09:53.980 says it's 100 percent true, but yet refuses to print. When I hung the phone up, I said, what the
00:09:58.320 hell is this, North Korea? Back in 2005, a warning order went out to the 1st Battalion 125th Field
00:10:04.580 Artillery to mobilize for a mission to Iraq. At the time, Walls served as the unit's highest
00:10:09.580 non-commissioned officer. But months later, Walls would retire from the guard, avoid the deployment,
00:10:14.520 and run for Congress. Tom Behrens was next in line for the position and was asked to take his place.
00:10:19.660 I was like, well, for Pete's sake, this guy quit. If I say I'm not going to do it, I mean, what the
00:10:25.580 hell kind of leadership is that? A spokesperson for the Minnesota National Guard said Walls wasn't
00:10:29.860 able to retire as a command sergeant major since he failed to complete coursework and requirements
00:10:34.480 related to the rank. Verified documents show the Army corrected his service record. Walls was reduced
00:10:40.160 in rank to an E-8 master sergeant after retirement and his conditional promotion. Now, there are a lot of
00:10:46.640 people who served in Walls' same National Guard unit who feel the same way that he does. J.R. Salzman,
00:10:52.260 for example, tweeted this picture along with the caption, here I am on our Iraq deployment,
00:10:56.580 deployment with the Minnesota Army National Guard, the very same deployment Tim Walls bailed on.
00:11:01.820 Salzman added, quote, I served in the Minnesota National Guard with him. He literally abandoned us
00:11:07.360 when we were about to be deployed to Iraq. He's a coward and should be treated as such.
00:11:12.380 Now, what's remarkable about Walls' lies is that he does it so often that his own allies are the
00:11:16.320 ones outing him, albeit inadvertently, of course. For example, New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy just
00:11:21.520 uploaded this photo of Walls and Josh Shapiro. And the intent was to show that, you know, they get
00:11:27.700 along and everything is great. But Walls' hat stuck out to a lot of veterans because it shows the Special
00:11:32.800 Forces crest. It's a hat that Walls wears a lot, even though he was never in the Special Forces.
00:11:38.100 And by itself, you might argue that, you know, it's not a big deal. But if you put it together with
00:11:42.480 all the lies that Walls has told about his military record, it starts to paint a picture of a
00:11:45.840 narcissist who enjoys portraying himself as an accomplished veteran when he's really a coward
00:11:50.200 who's hated by the people that he served with and later abandoned. Now, at this point, you have to
00:11:56.200 wonder whether Americans will tolerate all of this for very long. It's truly a test of how low the bar
00:12:02.660 is in the Democrat Party if they keep Tim Walls on as their nominee. And from what we're hearing,
00:12:07.540 this is just the beginning. More and more examples of Walls' stolen valor will come out.
00:12:12.260 And it's pretty ironic given that when he was in Congress, Walls voted yes on the Stolen Valor Act,
00:12:18.380 which makes it illegal to falsely claim military service to obtain some benefit. In other words,
00:12:23.540 Tim Walls may have violated the very law that he passed himself against stolen valor.
00:12:29.100 In 2009, an Iraq war veteran named David Thule confronted Tim Walls' staff about this.
00:12:34.660 So this has, again, been an issue for a long time. It's been known about for a long time.
00:12:41.080 He brought the photo of Walls identifying as an Operation Enduring Freedom veteran,
00:12:45.140 and the staffer admits that Walls had tricked some people into thinking that he served in Afghanistan.
00:12:50.240 Watch.
00:12:50.500 My name is Dave Thule. This is Travis Clinton. We're both constituents and Iraq war vets.
00:12:56.340 We're hoping to talk to someone about the photograph I have of Congress from Walls.
00:12:59.960 Okay.
00:13:01.560 Not sure if you have ever seen this picture before?
00:13:04.140 Mm-mm.
00:13:04.560 Okay. Well, in it, it depicts the picture in 2004. He didn't have to answer any better.
00:13:09.000 Right.
00:13:10.160 Congress from Walls is not an Afghanistan war veteran, is he?
00:13:13.000 He served in Italy, and it's part of Operation Enduring Freedom.
00:13:17.580 Yeah. Okay, but he didn't serve in Afghanistan, did he?
00:13:21.240 Not that I'm aware of.
00:13:22.320 Okay.
00:13:23.100 Hi, Rick. I'm Dave Thule. How are you doing?
00:13:24.520 Nice to meet you.
00:13:25.240 There's a yelling in the office that was helping us, but if you can.
00:13:29.820 Do you guys want to come in and have a seat?
00:13:31.620 Sure. Thank you.
00:13:32.380 My concern, other than this picture, is that the Congressman's website, his official biography,
00:13:37.780 says simply that he's mobilized with a battalion in support of Operation Enduring Freedom.
00:13:43.200 Without any other details, don't you think it's reasonable?
00:13:46.200 Well, people might assume that means he served in Afghanistan.
00:13:50.760 Perhaps, I guess.
00:13:52.020 Okay. So, it's been five years now, or I guess almost five years,
00:13:57.440 that the Congressman's official biography has said he served in support of Operation Enduring Freedom.
00:14:03.700 Is that reasonable? If it causes confusion, or it may cause confusion,
00:14:07.920 that somebody may have thought to change that and explain that he served in Italy and not in Afghanistan?
00:14:13.640 I mean, what would you suggest it be changed, I guess, simply to add the word?
00:14:24.580 So, the conversation goes on for a while.
00:14:26.060 The staffer acknowledges that people were being misled about Walls' biography,
00:14:29.000 but apparently nobody in Walls' office changed it.
00:14:32.540 And according to the Free Beacon, the staff took no action to correct Walls' bio after this confrontation.
00:14:37.060 So, it's kind of an incredible video.
00:14:38.840 And incredible, again, that this is back in 2009.
00:14:41.600 So, this has been known for a long time.
00:14:44.100 And Kamala Harris and her team would have obviously known about all this.
00:14:49.120 At the moment, there appears to be some creeping realization in the Harris campaign about how bad all this is.
00:14:54.060 Yesterday, Walls was asked about his military record, and he quickly ran away.
00:14:58.920 Watch.
00:14:59.140 Governor, fans, you have stolen valor.
00:15:03.680 Your response.
00:15:06.720 Governor.
00:15:07.160 Governor!
00:15:28.160 Do a try again.
00:15:29.160 Governor!
00:15:37.160 Fans of youth, you have stolen valor!
00:15:41.160 Your response!
00:15:44.160 So no response there.
00:15:45.160 So Wall's strategy is the same as Harris's.
00:15:47.160 He'll just avoid answering any questions.
00:15:49.160 He'll count on the media to cover for him,
00:15:51.160 as they did for 20 years in Minnesota.
00:15:53.160 But there are signs that that strategy may not work perfectly,
00:15:58.160 even CNN is now pointing out Wall's history of fraud.
00:16:02.160 Watch.
00:16:03.160 Wall's did make a comment speaking to a group,
00:16:05.160 he's done it a couple of times,
00:16:07.160 where he has used language that has suggested
00:16:09.160 that he carried weapons in a fighting situation.
00:16:13.160 As you know, with your contact with the military,
00:16:16.160 I know from coming from a military family,
00:16:18.160 there is a difference between being in a combat area,
00:16:21.160 being involved at a time of war,
00:16:23.160 and actually being in a position where people are shooting at you.
00:16:27.160 There is no evidence that at any time Governor Walz was in a position of being shot at,
00:16:32.160 and some of his language could easily be seen to suggest that he was.
00:16:36.160 So that is absolutely false when he said that about gun rights out there.
00:16:42.160 So there was some opposition research on Josh Shapiro that surfaced over the past week or so.
00:16:50.160 He may have covered up a homicide by ruling it a suicide in order to help a friend.
00:16:54.160 That was one allegation anyway.
00:16:56.160 And he may have swept a sexual harassment claim under the rug too.
00:17:00.160 That was another allegation.
00:17:02.160 The truth is that in the modern political landscape,
00:17:05.160 none of those alleged sins really count as disqualifying anymore.
00:17:10.160 Josh Shapiro could have survived them.
00:17:12.160 Politicians survive stuff like that all the time.
00:17:15.160 But there are very real questions about whether Tim Walz can survive this.
00:17:19.160 Stolen valor is the one moral infraction that nobody tolerates.
00:17:24.160 Impulses all reasonable people at a fundamental level.
00:17:27.160 And somehow Tim Walz survived Kamala Harris' supposedly rigorous vetting process,
00:17:32.160 despite lying repeatedly about his military record.
00:17:35.160 As damning as this is for Tim Walz, it's also a massive indictment of Kamala Harris.
00:17:40.160 Because picking Tim Walz to be her vice president was the first major decision that Kamala Harris has made since stealing the nomination.
00:17:47.160 And so what that means is that when she was finally left to her own devices to do something on her own,
00:17:52.160 something the media isn't doing for her, she immediately flopped on her face.
00:17:57.160 For all of her campaigns, contrived attacks on Donald Trump for supposedly maligning the military and all this stuff,
00:18:02.160 Kamala Harris has managed to pick a running mate who, by his own actions,
00:18:06.160 demonstrated very clearly that he thinks military service members are suckers.
00:18:09.160 He'll leave them behind in an instant, and then he'll lie about it for decades, brazenly.
00:18:15.160 If nothing else, this election of Tim Walz is a pretty clear preview of the absolute,
00:18:20.160 the level of absolute incompetence a Kamala Harris administration would entail.
00:18:24.160 She could have chosen the governor of Pennsylvania, but instead,
00:18:27.160 she went with a leftist who abandoned his own National Guard unit and then repeatedly lied about it.
00:18:32.160 No matter how many celebrities line up behind Kamala Harris,
00:18:36.160 no matter how long she hides from the press, the truth about Tim Walz is impossible to deny.
00:18:42.160 He'll continue to drag her campaign down even further with each new revelation of his stolen valor,
00:18:48.160 and it will get worse.
00:18:50.160 And by election day, millions more people will have to come to a basic and obvious realization,
00:18:55.160 which is that a woman who can't even manage her campaign is not capable of running the country.
00:19:01.160 Now let's get to our five headlines.
00:19:04.160 Grand Canyon University is a private Christian university located in beautiful Phoenix, Arizona.
00:19:14.160 GCU believes that our creator has endowed us with certain unalienable rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
00:19:19.160 They believe in equal opportunities and that the American dream is driven by purpose.

00:19:55.160 So Daily Caller has a little bit more information about the Democrat running mate, Tim Walls.
00:20:02.160 Democratic vice presidential candidate Tim Walls attends a church that preaches beliefs related to gender, race, and sexuality
00:20:08.160 that many Christian denominations strongly oppose.
00:20:10.160 Walls, who's governor of Minnesota, identified Pilgrim Lutheran Church in St. Paul as his parish during a 2020 briefing on the COVID-19 pandemic.
00:20:19.160 Materials published by Pilgrim Lutheran Church instruct parishioners not to refer to God using male pronouns,
00:20:25.160 push congregants to support reparation funds, encourage them to celebrate Ramadan,
00:20:30.160 and include a modified gender-neutral version of the Lord's Prayer, among other liberal practices.
00:20:36.160 Pilgrim Lutheran Church is part of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America.
00:20:39.160 A mainline Protestant denomination that's been criticized by some conservative Christians for deigning transgender and lesbian bishops,
00:20:46.160 as well as for its embrace of LGBT ideology.
00:20:50.160 Criticized by conservative Christians, yes, but criticized by anyone, if you're a Christian in general,
00:20:58.160 then you would be critical of these sorts of things that are, because this is not Christianity, this is heresy.
00:21:06.160 Pilgrim Lutheran Church in 2015 approved guidelines for language in worship, wherein the congregation asserted that
00:21:13.160 a patriarchal culture gave birth to the writing of scripture and the selection of the canon,
00:21:18.160 and to rectify the purported injustice committed to using gender-neutral language to describe God.
00:21:24.160 Members of the church, for instance, are encouraged to use non-anthropomorphic language, like hen or baker, to refer to God,
00:21:34.160 and urge not to limit these by following them with male or female pronouns.
00:21:39.160 The guidelines instruct parishioners to refer to God using titles that signal actions but don't imply gender, like advocate or healer.
00:21:46.160 Walls' church also uses a modified version of the Lord's Prayer, beginning with our guardian, our mother, our father in heaven,
00:21:54.160 instead of our father who art in heaven, of course, which is the actual prayer.
00:21:58.160 All right, so this is, he attends a church that, not really a church, but more of a far left social club.
00:22:05.160 One of these churches that's just like cartoonishly liberal.
00:22:09.160 A church that I guarantee you is dead, by the way.
00:22:12.160 Like if you went into one of these places, all of these churches are dead.
00:22:16.160 If you, you know, drive by a church and you see a rainbow flag hanging outside, that tells you two things.
00:22:23.160 Number one, it's not a real church.
00:22:25.160 It can't be a real church.
00:22:27.160 You cannot be a real church and fly a rainbow flag and subscribe to LGBT ideology.
00:22:33.160 But the second thing it tells you is that the church is dead.
00:22:36.160 If you went in on Sunday, you'd find like six people and only old lesbians and closeted gay men attend these kinds of churches.
00:22:47.160 I'm telling you, I mean, I mean that sincerely.
00:22:49.160 It's just my observation.
00:22:50.160 It's not even meant as an insult.
00:22:51.160 It's just, just the fact, probably not fair.
00:22:54.160 I mean, it's, it's not just old lesbians and closeted gay men.
00:22:56.160 It's also gay men who are not closeted who go to these churches, but that's it.
00:23:00.160 I mean, it's all, it's, it's a lesbian or gay over the age of 55.
00:23:06.160 And that's the entire congregation at these kinds of places.
00:23:09.160 So what am I saying then about Tim Walls?
00:23:14.160 Well, I'm not saying anything.
00:23:17.160 I can't, I cannot officially accuse Tim Walls of being gay.
00:23:20.160 I can't do that.
00:23:24.160 I can't do that.
00:23:26.160 I couldn't say that.
00:23:28.160 I'm not saying that.
00:23:30.160 I'm just saying he goes to a church that says God is non-binary.
00:23:33.160 He's been hyper-focused on trans and gay issues during his political career.
00:23:37.160 He's very passionate about making sure that little boys and girls can get gender transitions.
00:23:42.160 He invited a cross-dressing man to perform at the Minnesota State Capitol.
00:23:48.160 He makes sure that he makes sure that, that, you know, the boys bathroom in fourth grade in elementary school is stocked with tampons.
00:23:58.160 He was the faculty advisor in the nineties at his public schools, gay, gay club, the gay and lesbian, the gay alliance or whatever it was.
00:24:09.160 So, you know, what does that all add up to?
00:24:15.160 You do the math on that.
00:24:16.160 I can't do the math.
00:24:17.160 You're not good at math.
00:24:18.160 And I don't have a calculator on me, so I can't do the math.
00:24:20.160 I'm just telling you what all the, what all the factors are.
00:24:22.160 Oh, and Walls also shakes his wife's hand as a greeting.
00:24:25.160 Do we have that?
00:24:26.160 Let's play that clip.
00:24:27.160 I think we have that.
00:24:28.160 All right.
00:24:33.160 Let's play that again.
00:24:35.160 So let's make sure we saw that.
00:24:36.160 The handshake.
00:24:38.160 Hey, wait a second.
00:24:41.160 Wait, I've been so focused on the handshake.
00:24:44.160 I didn't even look to the left.
00:24:46.160 Like play one more time.
00:24:47.160 Look at Kamala Harris's husband.
00:24:49.160 What?
00:24:50.160 What was that?
00:24:52.160 Is this little tremor of like disgust before he goes to kiss his wife?
00:24:57.160 What?
00:24:58.160 And these are the people that call us weird.
00:25:00.160 It's like you can't even, you're supposed to.
00:25:03.160 Yeah.
00:25:04.160 So he, so you got Doug Emhoff here dancing the hokey pokey.
00:25:09.160 I don't know what he's doing.
00:25:10.160 Then you got these two over here shaking hands.
00:25:16.160 I don't know.
00:25:18.160 Very normal stuff, right?
00:25:20.160 Super normal.
00:25:21.160 Who greets their wife that way?
00:25:25.160 Good evening, ma'am.
00:25:28.160 I'm Tim Walls, your husband.
00:25:30.160 Good evening.
00:25:32.160 Hello.
00:25:33.160 Nice to see you again.
00:25:34.160 How have you been?
00:25:36.160 This dude got friend zoned by his own wife.
00:25:40.160 How does that happen?
00:25:41.160 Well, I know one way it could happen, but I'm not saying that.
00:25:45.160 So between these two couples, have you ever seen married people who give off more of a,
00:25:50.160 we sleep in separate bedrooms vibe than these four up here?
00:25:56.160 Well, Bill and Hillary, obviously.
00:25:59.160 But even Bill and Hillary seemed more authentically married than Doug and Kamala or Tim and his wife.
00:26:06.160 Because Bill and Hillary, they have a vibe.
00:26:08.160 Like the vibe is that they hate each other.
00:26:10.160 Which is, I mean, that's not the healthiest marital dynamic.
00:26:13.160 Don't get me wrong.
00:26:14.160 I don't recommend it.
00:26:15.160 But at least there's some kind of feeling there.
00:26:17.160 Like that is a, there are married couples who hate each other.
00:26:20.160 But these people, these two couples, like they come off like they've never even had a conversation with each other.
00:26:27.160 Have they ever even been in the same room when it's, when they're not on camera?
00:26:31.160 Anyway, what are we supposed to be talking about?
00:26:33.160 Oh yeah.
00:26:34.160 Walls is gay church or just church.
00:26:36.160 Church with a lot of gayness incidentally.
00:26:38.160 And there's probably no point in, you know, picking apart the specifics here and trying to refute or debunk any of the, you know, heretical beliefs of this church.
00:26:48.160 I mean, this is a church where they celebrate Ramadan.
00:26:51.160 They rewrote the Lord's Prayer, even though Jesus Christ himself gives us the words of the Lord's Prayer.
00:26:58.160 And tells us to pray it exactly as he says it.
00:27:02.160 Not going to use male pronouns for God, even though that's what's in the Bible.
00:27:08.160 God even, you know, if we're supposed to respect self-identification, well, God himself self-identifies by the male pronouns.
00:27:15.160 Jesus refers to God the Father as God the Father.
00:27:19.160 So, this is all totally unjustifiable.
00:27:23.160 But, you know, these are, that's why I say this is not, I don't even just mean it as like an accusation or something when I say this is not real Christianity.
00:27:34.160 It just isn't, like it's not actually Christianity.
00:27:37.160 There's nothing about it.
00:27:38.160 Again, if you went to one of these churches, aside from the fact that there's nobody there and they're just, and everyone is elderly and gay.
00:27:43.160 It's, it's, it, it, what they're talking about bears no resemblance to Christianity whatsoever.
00:27:49.160 The only thing that is Christian about it is that the building they go to, they call a church.
00:27:56.160 And often the building, at least architecturally, will look like a church.
00:28:01.160 But that's it.
00:28:04.160 All right, Ben Stiller showed up for a Comics for Kamala event.
00:28:10.160 And he had a, an interesting thought to share.
00:28:13.160 Let's listen to that.
00:28:14.160 I just want to let you know I'm going to match your $150,000 donation.
00:28:19.160 Everybody's got to get out and vote and donate.
00:28:22.160 And she's also a historic candidate.
00:28:25.160 You know, it's going to be the first woman president.
00:28:28.160 And that's incredibly exciting.
00:28:30.160 And, you know, she's Indian.
00:28:33.160 She's black.
00:28:34.160 She's everything.
00:28:35.160 You can be more than one thing.
00:28:36.160 It's incredible.
00:28:37.160 You know, I'm Jewish and Irish.
00:28:41.160 I wish I was black.
00:28:42.160 Every white Jewish guy wishes he was black.
00:28:45.160 You know, it's just get out there and vote and donate and, like, take advantage.
00:28:51.160 This is such an important time right now.
00:28:53.160 And this, this, with this wave of energy that's happening, we've got to keep going with it.
00:28:56.160 So, please, do everything you can.
00:28:59.160 Good Lord.
00:29:00.160 That is, that's brutal.
00:29:01.160 That's brutal to watch.
00:29:03.160 And the funny thing is that he's trying to be extra woke, you know, by saying that.
00:29:08.160 But the woke people are just as disgusted by that kind of thing as you and me.
00:29:13.160 For different reasons, but they are just as disgusted.
00:29:17.160 Because on the woke side, right, you're supposed to say that you would never want to trade places with a black person because it's so hard to be black.
00:29:25.160 That's the woke thing.
00:29:27.160 You're not supposed to say I want to be black.
00:29:28.160 You're supposed to say, oh, I would never want to be black because it's so, it's, it's so hard.
00:29:34.160 So, to say that you wish you were black is to kind of give the game away.
00:29:38.160 You're dropping the facade.
00:29:40.160 And you're, you're, you're, you're basically saying, like, yeah, it must be great being black in America these days.
00:29:46.160 But you're not supposed to say that.
00:29:48.160 You're supposed to look at black people and say, oh, my goodness, I can't imagine what it's like.
00:29:53.160 How difficult it must be.
00:29:56.160 I could never withstand the pressure of being black.
00:29:59.160 I don't have the strength for it.
00:30:02.160 That's the, that's the appropriate attitude on the woke side.
00:30:05.160 So, if you want to be woke, you should say something like, I'm not strong enough to want to be black.
00:30:13.160 That's the way to thread that needle.
00:30:16.160 Just Ben Stiller, future reference.
00:30:18.160 That's what you say.
00:30:19.160 But then, of course, over here on the normal side, you shouldn't say that you want to be black or wish that you were black because it's a pathetic, self-loathing thing to say.
00:30:30.160 And this is the inevitable and quite intentional result of instilling in white people for decades that they aren't allowed to have any pride in who they are.
00:30:41.160 Black people can be proud of being black.
00:30:43.160 Native Americans can be proud of being Native American.
00:30:45.160 Hispanic can be proud of being Hispanic.
00:30:47.160 Asian of being Asian.
00:30:49.160 And on and on.
00:30:51.160 But whites were the one group that is not supposed to have any pride in who we are whatsoever.
00:30:57.160 And that's the propaganda that's been relentlessly drilled into us to the point that, you know, somebody like Ben Stiller will come out and say this.
00:31:07.160 But it just really is gross.
00:31:11.160 It's a disgusting thing.
00:31:13.160 To hate yourself that much is disgusting.
00:31:16.160 It's not even like I don't have sympathy.
00:31:21.160 I don't pity you.
00:31:22.160 It's a character flaw.
00:31:24.160 This is a moral flaw on your end.
00:31:30.160 You should feel guilty.
00:31:31.160 You should feel guilty for having this kind of white guilt.
00:31:35.160 You should feel bad about it.
00:31:37.160 And you do feel bad.
00:31:38.160 But you should feel bad about feeling bad about being white.
00:31:40.160 Okay, I wanted to mention this briefly.
00:31:42.160 It's not important, but I just wanted to complain about it anyway.
00:31:45.160 So it's been officially announced that Maya Rudolph will come back to SNL to play Kamala Harris for this election season.
00:31:52.160 She played Kamala Harris in previous skits over the past four years, I guess.
00:31:55.160 And now she's coming back.
00:31:57.160 And on Twitter, anyway, everyone's acting excited about it.
00:32:01.160 The media, you know, they say that Maya Rudolph's Kamala impression is hilarious.
00:32:05.160 It's iconic.
00:32:06.160 It's great.
00:32:07.160 It's so good.
00:32:08.160 It's great.
00:32:09.160 It's so good.
00:32:10.160 And this is one of those.
00:32:13.160 I know it's a pretty minor thing.
00:32:15.160 But it's another example.
00:32:18.160 It's like gaslighting everybody does.
00:32:20.160 And this phrase gaslighting is used way too often, but it also happens a lot.
00:32:25.160 And this is one of those times where being gaslit.
00:32:28.160 When you tell, this happens with SNL stuff a lot.
00:32:33.160 Some SNL skit or whatever, and it makes the rounds online.
00:32:37.160 Everyone says, this is hilarious.
00:32:38.160 And then you watch it.
00:32:39.160 You're like, there's no way you think that's funny.
00:32:40.160 It's just not funny.
00:32:42.160 And Maya Rudolph's Kamala impression is, it's terrible.
00:32:47.160 So here's a, let's watch this, just to show you what I mean.
00:32:52.160 Besides, mama's got all the vaccine she needs right here.
00:32:57.160 I just want to show you how good you could have had in America.
00:33:00.160 You could have had a bad .
00:33:02.160 The font is back, baby.
00:33:04.160 America's fun aunt.
00:33:06.160 I'm also America's cool aunt.
00:33:09.160 You know what?
00:33:11.160 Can I win the presidency?
00:33:12.160 Probably not.
00:33:13.160 I don't know.
00:33:14.160 Can I successfully seduce a much younger man?
00:33:18.160 You better functin' believe it.
00:33:20.160 Oh, I got this.
00:33:21.160 Uh-uh, Joe.
00:33:22.160 Let mama go to work.
00:33:24.160 I think if there's one thing we learned tonight,
00:33:27.160 it's that America needs a WAP.
00:33:30.160 Woman as president.
00:33:31.160 I'm just gonna have fun and see if I can get some viral moments.
00:33:34.160 This is not a good impression.
00:33:35.160 Why are people pretending this is a good, that's not,
00:33:37.160 you don't have her voice down, you don't have her mannerisms.
00:33:40.160 You don't even have the laugh.
00:33:43.160 How do you not do the laugh?
00:33:44.160 I mean, that's like if you did a Trump impression and you didn't do the hand gestures.
00:33:49.160 Like that's the easiest thing to get right.
00:33:52.160 And it's the thing you have to get right.
00:33:55.160 But this is how lame SNL is.
00:33:56.160 And the reason they're going with this impression rather than an accurate one,
00:33:59.160 which is to say a funny one, is that the SNL version of Kamala,
00:34:03.160 it's really all part of the pro-Kamala propaganda.
00:34:07.160 So SNL has turned Kamala into this kind of fun, quirky, cool aunt, you know.
00:34:12.160 It has nothing to do with her actual personality.
00:34:14.160 They've just taken the name Kamala Harris and found someone who's vaguely racially similar.
00:34:19.160 And they've constructed this whole other version of Kamala,
00:34:22.160 rather than doing what they're supposed to be doing,
00:34:24.160 which is impersonating and caricaturing the real version.
00:34:27.160 That's what an impersonation is supposed to be.
00:34:29.160 But this is all, it is all part of the Kamala branding strategy.
00:34:33.160 You know, and I don't think we've ever seen anything quite like this to this extent.
00:34:37.160 Now we know that the media in Hollywood, they've propped up many Democrat politicians in the past.
00:34:42.160 So we've seen that, but we haven't seen it like this,
00:34:47.160 where they have to this point successfully made Kamala into this sensation.
00:34:53.160 She's now drawing huge crowds.
00:34:55.160 I mean, she is.
00:34:57.160 And yeah, she's, she, there was a big crowd.
00:34:59.160 I think it was in Wisconsin yesterday.
00:35:01.160 And Bon Iver was performing.
00:35:03.160 So she's bringing in big musical acts that people,
00:35:06.160 and that's part of the reason people are showing up.
00:35:08.160 But even so, I mean, but, and yes, that's, that's a big reason why they're showing up.
00:35:13.160 But this is still like they are coming to a Kamala Harris rally,
00:35:17.160 and this is all part of the game.
00:35:19.160 It's all part of the hype train and they are successful with it.
00:35:22.160 They've done all of that by constructing a completely fake version of her that has no relation to the real version.
00:35:30.160 Like the real version of Kamala is boring and lame.
00:35:32.160 The real version is the version they got less than 1% of the vote during a Democrat primary.
00:35:36.160 Nobody was interested in her.
00:35:40.160 And they've shoved that version up into the attic somewhere, and they're creating this fictional Kamala,
00:35:46.160 which is mostly being done by the media and Hollywood.
00:35:49.160 And, you know, it's, it's such a, it's, it's such a pervasive kind of all encompassing effort to create this fake Kamala that, that even SNL is getting in on the action.
00:36:01.160 Which is a shame because there's a lot to, to mock there with Kamala Harris and a good Kamala Harris impression can be really funny.
00:36:09.160 Um, so like this, I've seen this woman all over Twitter, for example.
00:36:14.160 Like this is what a good Kamala Harris impression sounds like.
00:36:18.160 Watch.
00:36:19.160 The American dream.
00:36:21.160 Right?
00:36:22.160 Yeah, that belongs to all of us.
00:36:27.160 That belongs to all of us.
00:36:29.160 Think about what the American dream means for a second.
00:36:32.160 Okay.
00:36:33.160 Think about that.
00:36:35.160 Community.
00:36:36.160 Diversity.
00:36:37.160 You know, air rights, foreclosures, crime.
00:36:43.160 You know, it, it's really what the Americans dream to see, you know, and I'll tell you a little, you know, quick little story.
00:36:52.160 My mother used to tell me that, you know, I had the best laugh.
00:36:55.160 You know, I really did.
00:37:00.160 And hopefully we'll hear it for four more years.
00:37:04.160 So that's, that's a great impression.
00:37:06.160 She's got the, the voice, the expressions, even the facial expressions, the mannerisms, the laugh.
00:37:13.160 That's a, I'm going to butcher her name, but Estee Palti, E-S-T-E-E-P-A-L-T-I.
00:37:19.160 Look her up on YouTube.
00:37:21.160 Uh, I'm not her agent or anything, but, uh, but this is the person you should hire at SNL.
00:37:26.160 And I'm going to speak for her, but I'm betting she would even take like half of what you're going to pay Maya Rudolph to do the job.
00:37:33.160 I, you know, I don't, I haven't talked to her.
00:37:36.160 I shouldn't speak for her, but I'm guessing she would.
00:37:39.160 Um, I mean, I'll take half of what you'll pay Maya Rudolph and I'll do Kamala Harris.
00:37:43.160 And my impression will be just as good as Maya Rudolph's.
00:37:47.160 All right.
00:37:48.160 Um, finally, the left is having some fun with this one.
00:37:52.160 ABC reports in the hours after Vice President Kamala Harris announced Governor Tim Walls as her running mate.
00:37:57.160 Allies of former President Donald Trump rushed to denigrate the Minnesota Democrat,
00:38:02.160 seizing on criticism of his handling of the riots in the wake of George Floyd's murder in May 2020, May 2020.
00:38:08.160 Uh, Senator J.D. Vance said he allowed rioters to burn down the streets of Minneapolis, which is true.
00:38:16.160 But at the time, ABC reports, Trump expressed support for Walls' handling of the protests,
00:38:21.160 according to a recording of a phone call obtained by ABC News, telling a group of governors that Walls dominated
00:38:27.160 and praising his leadership as an example for other states to follow.
00:38:31.160 Trump told a group of governors on June 1st, 2020, in a call that had, there's a recording of the call, so he did say this.
00:38:38.160 He said, I know Governor Walls is on the phone and we spoke and I fully agree with the way he handled it the last couple of days.
00:38:44.160 I was very happy with the last couple of days, Tim.
00:38:46.160 He continued.
00:38:47.160 He called up big numbers and the big numbers knocked them out so fast it was like bowling pins.
00:38:52.160 Now, the Trump, so this is, uh, the media's making a big deal about this yesterday.
00:38:59.160 And, um, and this is supposed to delegitimize all of the criticism of Tim Walls' response to the BLM riots.
00:39:07.160 The fact that Trump back in June of 2020 was, uh, complimenting Tim Walls.
00:39:14.160 Now, the Trump camp response to this has been to point out, I think accurately, that, that, that he was complimenting Walls on his response after his initial failure.
00:39:27.160 And you can hear that in the, in the recording.
00:39:30.160 It's, it's, he says, um, I fully agree with the way he handled it the last couple of days.
00:39:36.160 And then he says again, I was very happy with the last couple of days, Tim.
00:39:41.160 Um, so, um, so their, their kind of, uh, response here is quite plausible and I think correct that Trump was referring to the last couple of days.
00:39:54.160 He specifies that multiple times in the call.
00:39:57.160 Now, even with that specified, like, is it great that there's a recording of Trump saying this to Tim Walls?
00:40:06.160 No, it's not great.
00:40:08.160 And was it true then?
00:40:11.160 Like, was it true in June, on June 1st of 2020, was it true that for the last couple of days, Tim Walls' response had been great?
00:40:19.160 No, Tim Walls' response was never great.
00:40:22.160 Not for the last couple of days, not for any of the days while this was going on.
00:40:27.160 His response was terrible the whole time.
00:40:30.160 And so does that, does that let him off the hook?
00:40:35.160 If Trump was much nicer and more complimentary than he should have been, does that mean that the criticism against Tim Walls is no longer legitimate?
00:40:46.160 No.
00:40:47.160 And this is also one of the good things about, you know, being a conservative who is, you know, you have a mind of your own and you're not going to automatically take whatever position Trump happens to take.
00:40:57.160 Those of us in that camp, this doesn't change my opinion at all of Tim Walls' response.
00:41:02.160 Trump said it was good for the last couple of days.
00:41:05.160 Trump was wrong.
00:41:06.160 He was just wrong.
00:41:07.160 It was a terrible response the whole time.
00:41:09.160 And so this is not like Tim Walls off the hook.
00:41:12.160 Why would it?
00:41:14.160 The question, you know, our criticism of Tim Walls back in 2020 is not that he was making Trump mad.
00:41:22.160 It's not that he was doing things Trump didn't want.
00:41:24.160 That's not the criticism.
00:41:26.160 I frankly don't care how Trump felt about it at the time.
00:41:29.160 Doesn't matter.
00:41:30.160 The criticism is entirely that he allowed his community to burn.
00:41:34.160 Whatever Trump said about it days after the fact, completely irrelevant.
00:41:40.160 And that does not answer the question for Tim Walls, which is, why did you do that?
00:41:45.160 Why did you allow that?
00:41:46.160 Why did you delay the deployment of the National Guard?
00:41:50.160 When you knew that there were rioters burning a police station, why didn't you immediately send the National Guard in?
00:41:58.160 Why was your wife sitting by the window enjoying the smell of burning neighborhoods?
00:42:05.160 And to respond to that by saying, well, but Trump said it was good.
00:42:11.160 I don't care.
00:42:12.160 I don't care what he said.
00:42:13.160 I don't care if he showed up and gave you a hug and baked you some cookies to congratulate you.
00:42:19.160 Makes no difference.
00:42:21.160 And as far as Trump's response, we also know the other thing about Trump is that this is how he operates.
00:42:26.160 That if you're not doing what he wants, then he's going to come at you hard.
00:42:31.160 But once you start doing what he wants, then he's going to be very complimentary and very nice and probably more complimentary than he needs to be.
00:42:39.160 So that's what happened here.
00:42:40.160 In the first few days, Walls was not sending in the National Guard.
00:42:44.160 He wasn't doing anything.
00:42:45.160 And then he sort of started responding and he was doing what Trump wanted.
00:42:47.160 And so then Trump's like, oh, you're a great guy now.
00:42:49.160 You know, this is just how Trump operates.
00:42:51.160 This is how he, we all know that this is how he operates.
00:42:55.160 But it provides the left an opportunity here to try to change the subject, which is all it is.
00:42:59.160 This is just changing the subject completely.
00:43:02.160 And I'd be fine with saying, it's like, okay, all right.
00:43:08.160 So let's just, even though, yeah, we could respond by parsing Trump's words.
00:43:12.160 Yeah, he wasn't referring to that.
00:43:14.160 But if I said, okay, yeah, he was totally wrong.
00:43:17.160 He was, he, what he said, he, it was a totally inaccurate assessment.
00:43:22.160 Fine.
00:43:23.160 So then are you willing to admit then that, that Walls' response was terrible?
00:43:28.160 And Trump's, Trump's to blame for not pointing that out in the phone call?
00:43:33.160 Because if that's the, I'm willing to take that compromise, but I don't think they will on the left.
00:43:39.160 When you're running a business, time is money.

00:44:40.160 Well, you probably remember our incredible film, What is a Woman?
00:44:43.160 Well, I got the same group of white guys back together to ask America's next burning question.
00:44:48.160 Am I racist?
00:44:49.160 It's coming to theaters this September.
00:44:51.160 I went deep undercover into the cesspool of DEI insanity.
00:44:54.160 I rubbed elbows with professional race hustlers and diversity con artists.
00:44:57.160 Some would say I did the work.
00:44:59.160 And now it's your turn.
00:45:01.160 But the date I need you to remember right now is Thursday, August 15th.
00:45:05.160 That's when pre-sale tickets go on sale.
00:45:07.160 With your help, we're going to stick it to the woke mob one ticket at a time.
00:45:11.160 But you've got to get the pre-sale tickets.
00:45:13.160 All the details can be found as well as the trailer at amiracist.com.
00:45:18.160 Now let's get to our daily cancellation.
00:45:20.160 You know, I haven't been paying attention to the Olympics at all.
00:45:29.160 Admittedly, I've never been much of an Olympics fan.
00:45:31.160 But any chance that I may have tried to pay attention and vaguely care this year went out the window
00:45:35.160 when they kicked things off with sacrilege and drag queens.
00:45:38.160 Followed it up, of course, with their next trick, which was the horrific and still ongoing spectacle of male boxers fighting females.
00:45:45.160 This was already the wokest Olympics of all time.
00:45:48.160 So it wouldn't be complete, I guess, without some good old fashioned race baiting.
00:45:53.160 This week, the media has been celebrating what they claim is an historic occasion at the Olympics.
00:45:58.160 Here's people.com with the headline,
00:46:01.160 Yes, the gymnastics event wrapped up with three black women winning gold, silver and bronze.
00:46:22.160 It was apparently the first time that three women with that particular shade of skin happened to all get onto the podium in gymnastics in that event.
00:46:31.160 Indeed, something to celebrate.
00:46:33.160 And it's high time that the athletic achievements of black people are acknowledged.
00:46:37.160 Black people have not been recognized for their prowess in the world of sports, I think.
00:46:41.160 And now that's finally changed.
00:46:43.160 Here are Simone Biles and Jordan Childs after the event talking about the historic accomplishment.
00:46:49.160 Watch.
00:46:50.160 There was quite a moment that's going a bit viral on social media when Rebecca gets the gold and you two decide to show your respect.
00:47:00.160 It was quite moving.
00:47:02.160 Talked to some Brazilian people who were quite moved by it.
00:47:05.160 What gave you the idea?
00:47:06.160 Was it just spontaneous?
00:47:08.160 And tell us what you did.
00:47:10.160 No, Rebecca's she's so amazing.
00:47:13.160 She's queen.
00:47:14.160 And first it was an all black podium.
00:47:18.160 So that was super exciting for us.
00:47:20.160 But then Jordan was like, should we bow to her?
00:47:22.160 And I was like, absolutely.
00:47:23.160 So we're like, are we going to do it now?
00:47:24.160 And then that's why we did it.
00:47:26.160 But she's she's such an excitement to watch.
00:47:28.160 And then all the fans in the crowd always cheering for her.
00:47:31.160 So it just, it was just the right thing to do.
00:47:34.160 She's queen.
00:47:35.160 She's so good.
00:47:36.160 Yeah.
00:47:37.160 To go off of what she was saying, you know, she's an icon, a legend herself.
00:47:41.160 So I feel like being recognized is what everybody should do when it comes to somebody who's put in the work, put in the dedication.
00:47:48.160 So yeah, in that moment, I was like, you know what, first off, again, yes, it was an all black podium.
00:47:53.160 Second off, why don't we just give her her flowers?
00:47:55.160 She's given, you know, not only has she given Simone her flowers, but a lot of us in the United States are flowers as well.
00:48:00.160 So giving it back is what makes it so beautiful.
00:48:03.160 So I felt like it was needed.
00:48:05.160 Now, there was already enough here to earn a spot in the daily cancellation.
00:48:10.160 I will always object to racial double standards.
00:48:13.160 I have come to expect them.
00:48:14.160 I'm not shocked by them, but I still object to them.
00:48:17.160 And there's certainly a massive glaring one in this case.
00:48:20.160 We all know what would happen if Olympic athletes celebrated and gloated over an all white podium.
00:48:26.160 We know the reaction if the silver and bronze medal were won by white people and they bowed to the gold medalist in part to celebrate the fact that he was also white.
00:48:34.160 Like we all know how that would go.
00:48:37.160 You can't claim that it'd be different because all the all white podiums are more commonplace.
00:48:42.160 In in many events, that's not the case at all.
00:48:45.160 I don't know how long it's been since there was an all white podium in the 100 meter race, for instance, but I'm confident that it's been a very long time.
00:48:54.160 In fact, if there was an all white podium in the in the 100 meter race, it would be very notable like it would be.
00:49:01.160 But you would not be allowed to make note of it unless you were noting it in a negative way, in a disappointed way.
00:49:07.160 You can lament that something is all white.
00:49:10.160 But you may never be happy that it's all white.
00:49:13.160 That's the rule.
00:49:14.160 And it's a rule that I do not recognize because it's hypocritical and arbitrary.
00:49:18.160 If we would say that Olympians were racist for cheering an all white podium, we must say the same about Olympians cheering an all black podium.
00:49:25.160 Those are the rules, which means I'm afraid that Simone Biles is a horrendous bigot.
00:49:30.160 She is a racist and she owes America an apology.
00:49:34.160 Those are the rules.
00:49:35.160 And she should be expected to follow them the same way that she'd be expected to follow them if she was white.
00:49:40.160 That's all that needs to be said, I thought.
00:49:43.160 It's all I was planning to say.
00:49:45.160 The only point that I really wanted to make.
00:49:47.160 But then I found out that the all black podium thing is quite a bit worse than I thought.
00:49:53.160 I didn't know this because, again, I'm not watching, but it turns out that the bigger problem is not that they're celebrating the all black podium, but rather how the all black podium came about in the first place.
00:50:05.160 Wouldn't you know it?
00:50:07.160 Three black women were awarded gold, silver and bronze, but three black women did not earn gold, silver and bronze.
00:50:14.160 The woke Olympics, true to its new name, gave us this historic moment by stealing a medal from a white woman.
00:50:21.160 So I'm going to read a fair amount from this report in Forbes.
00:50:24.160 I have to read it because I don't follow gymnastics or understand how the scoring works.
00:50:27.160 So I'll just let them explain.
00:50:29.160 Reading now, the final event in Olympic gymnastics came with a side of drama.
00:50:35.160 After Simone Biles flew out a tumbling pass and conceded the top spot to Rebecca Andrade,
00:50:40.160 teammate Jordan Childs saw an opportunity to secure her first individual medal.
00:50:44.160 At first, she didn't get it, but then she did.
00:50:47.160 Last up, Childs would need a 13.7 to surpass Romania's Ana Barbasu, who was also tied with her fellow countrywoman Sabrina Voinea.
00:50:59.160 Though Childs hit her routine, she appeared to finish short on leap, potentially downgrading the scoring of her exercise.
00:51:06.160 The judges caught the under rotation, and Childs' difficulty score was downgraded from 5.9 to 5.8, a 0.1 difference, small but consequential.
00:51:16.160 Childs posted a 13.666, falling to fifth and failing to unseat Barbasu for bronze.
00:51:25.160 For a minute, it seemed that there would be no individual medal for Jordan Childs.
00:51:29.160 So that's the setup. I understood some of that.
00:51:34.160 But next, Team USA went to the judges, and they disputed the way that it was scored.
00:51:39.160 That's what it comes down to.
00:51:40.160 And the judges accepted their inquiry and raised Childs' score, which brought her from fifth place to third.
00:51:47.160 So the Romanian gymnast, Ana Barbasu, thought that she was about to stand on the podium and receive her bronze medal, but in just a few minutes, it was ripped away from her.
00:51:58.160 Okay?
00:51:59.160 But, so that, you think like, well, that's the controversy, but that's not even the real controversy here.
00:52:04.160 Forbes continues, quote, in the midst of the controversy surrounding the robbery of Ana Barbasu, fans determined that the other Romanian athlete, Sabrina Manessia Voinea, was the one who was wronged.
00:52:18.160 During competition, the judges deducted .1 from her routine due to her stepping out of bounds.
00:52:23.160 In the re-air of the final Monday evening, NBC commentator John Roethlisberger reported that Manessia Voinea visibly remained inside the floor area.
00:52:34.160 Almost instantly, Team Romania's indignation multiplied.
00:52:37.160 Okay, now, again, I'm not a gymnastics expert, but anyone, expert or not, can look at the replay and clearly see, plain as day, that she absolutely did not step out of bounds.
00:52:50.160 I mean, it's not even particularly close.
00:52:52.160 You can just look and see, she didn't step on the out of bounds part.
00:52:56.160 And they docked her for stepping out of bounds, but she didn't.
00:53:02.160 Without that penalty, she would have finished third.
00:53:05.160 So, you could argue that two different white women were pushed to the side to give the Olympics its black podium moment.
00:53:15.160 But certainly, without question, we can say that at least one white woman was.
00:53:20.160 Now, that is not even in dispute now.
00:53:24.160 That's a fact we know that that should not have been an all-black podium.
00:53:29.160 Should have been two black people and a white woman.
00:53:32.160 The only question is, was it intentional?
00:53:35.160 Was this deliberately done for reasons of wokeness?
00:53:39.160 Now, I have no idea.
00:53:41.160 Quite possibly, no.
00:53:43.160 Quite possibly, yes.
00:53:45.160 But that doesn't even really matter all that much.
00:53:48.160 What matters is that, whether on purpose or accidentally, that bronze medal was taken from the person who actually earned it.
00:53:55.160 It was not awarded based on merit.
00:53:58.160 So, this truly is, in more ways than I initially realized, the DEI Olympics.
00:54:05.160 And the DEI Olympics are, needless to say, completely and totally today canceled.
00:54:11.160 That'll do it for the show today.
00:54:13.160 Thanks for watching.
00:54:14.160 Thanks for listening.
00:54:15.160 Have a great day.
00:54:16.160 Talk to you tomorrow.
00:54:17.160 Godspeed.
00:54:18.160 Republicans or Nazis, you cannot separate yourselves from the bad white people.
00:54:28.160 Growing up, I never thought much about race.
00:54:30.160 It never really seemed to matter that much.
00:54:32.160 At least not to me.
00:54:33.160 Am I racist?
