The investigation into the Brown University shooting has been a debacle unlike anything we ve ever seen before. We ll talk about it today. Also, the Attorney General of Minnesota has identified the culprits responsible for all the car thefts in his state, and the culprit is the car manufacturer. And the House finally passes a bill banning child mutilation. Thank God.
00:00:27.400Today on the Matt Wall Show, the investigation into the Brown University shooting has been a debacle unlike anything we've ever seen before.
00:00:51.200All of that and more today on the Matt Wall Show.
00:00:57.400Every time you use Facebook or Google, you're paying with your data.
00:01:22.540These companies track your activity and use it to sell targeted ads that can influence and manipulate you.
00:01:26.940If privacy matters to you, there are steps you can take to protect yourself online.
00:01:30.420One tool I use is our sponsor, ExpressVPN, which encrypts your internet traffic and hides your browsing from your ISP.
00:01:37.000If you're not actively protecting your privacy online, your ISP can see every site you visit.
00:01:40.660And in the U.S., they can legally sell that data.
00:01:43.060Meanwhile, data brokers are tracking you through your IP address, building detailed profiles of everything you do online.
00:01:49.320As someone who spends hours researching for each show, I rely on ExpressVPN all the time, especially when I have to connect to airport or public Wi-Fi on the go.
00:01:56.080It's worth it for me to have peace of mind of knowing my data is safe.
00:02:00.420It encrypts all my activity, hides my IP address, so my ISP has nothing to sell and data brokers can't track me.
00:04:58.320What's the first thing you're going to do in order to identify the shooter?
00:05:04.360So odds are you're going to do two things.
00:05:06.120You're going to check one of the 1,200 surveillance cameras that Brown has admitted are installed on campus to see if they picked up anything.
00:05:14.900And then while those cameras are being reviewed 24-7, you're going to interview every witness,
00:05:20.480especially the students who were attending the study session.
00:05:23.160You're going to talk to every single one of them.
00:05:25.160You're going to take statements from those students about what the shooter looked like
00:05:28.540and what he may have said and where he may have gone, what exactly happened, and so on.
00:05:33.280And if you don't know the names of the students who are taking the class or who are in the building,
00:10:57.300And listen, like I said earlier, investigations will bring us to evidence that we need to collect in order to be able to prosecute.
00:11:05.380With that being said, with that being said, we're going to continue to collect evidence.
00:11:11.460And if it leads us to something to that nature that's going to be extremely helpful for us to identify somebody, we'll be the first ones to put it out.
00:11:18.260Now, imagine if the shooter had yelled or even been rumored to have yelled something like, this is MAGA country.
00:11:27.480Is there any doubt they'd tell us that within like five seconds of the shooting?
00:11:31.720All of their hesitation in doublespeak, it's also obviously fake and performative at this point.
00:11:37.460And of course, when you get doublespeak and nonsense, you get an information void.
00:11:41.260And when there's an information void in every single case, it gets filled with speculation, for better or worse.
00:11:47.880So as it became clear that the authorities weren't going to share any meaningful information, internet sleuths got to work.
00:11:53.480And they identified as a potential person of interest, a brown student and self-described Palestinian refugee with a very public profile whose body type was a rough match with the surveillance images.
00:12:06.360And this new individual is clearly a radical leftist.
00:12:08.980He had social media accounts with exotic personal pronouns, sympathized with Hamas, boasted about his extensive work at, quote, the intersection of queer studies and Palestine studies.
00:12:20.640Which seems like it has to be some kind of parody, but it's real.
00:12:24.460You know, the intersection of queer studies and Palestine studies is a bit like, you know, the intersection of transgenderism and the Taliban.
00:12:31.200The only relevant intersection in Palestine as it relates to homosexuals is the intersection where the gays land when they get thrown off of roofs.
00:12:41.320And nevertheless, Brown University's PR department had aggressively promoted this guy as a migrant success story who was bravely showing the white man who's boss.
00:12:49.960Now, is this Palestinian refugee studying the intersection of queer studies and Palestine studies also the shooter?
00:13:11.240This guy's social media profiles began disappearing.
00:13:13.740So did the glowing articles that Brown had posted on their website about him.
00:13:18.960And then Brown posted this statement online.
00:13:21.980Quote, we've seen harmful doxing actively directed at at least one member of the Brown University community.
00:13:27.260It's important to make clear the targeted, the targeting individuals could do irrevocable harm.
00:13:32.580Accusation, speculation and conspiracies we're seeing on social media and in some news reports are irresponsible, harmful and in some cases dangerous for the safety of individuals in our community.
00:13:42.740It's not unusual as a safety measure to take steps to protect an individual's safety when this kind of activity happens, including in regard to their online presence.
00:13:50.500As law enforcement officials stated, if this individual's name had any relevance to the current investigation, they would be actively looking for this individual and providing information publicly.
00:14:01.040Now, superficially, in general, it seems like a kind of reasonable response.
00:14:05.380It would obviously be horrible to publicly smear an innocent man as a potential suspect at a mass shooting, which is why it was horrible that just a few days ago, the authorities did exactly that by naming an innocent white guy as their suspect.
00:14:20.080But there are two strange aspects of this statement from Brown.
00:14:23.340First of all, it's not an explicit denial.
00:14:28.120They don't clearly and unambiguously deny that this Palestinian refugee, quote unquote, is a suspect or that he's being investigated.
00:14:36.080They could have just said that, but they didn't.
00:14:38.200Instead, they imply that his name doesn't have relevance to the current investigation, which is a weird way of saying that he's not a suspect, if that's what they're saying.
00:14:46.780Note the weird phrasing in that message where they say, if this name had any relevance to the investigation.
00:14:54.440And we'll come back to that in a second.
00:14:56.200Secondly, there's reason to doubt that the department would, in fact, inform the public if this individual did become a suspect.
00:15:04.220A Providence police major in charge of the investigation admitted to reporters that, in fact, there are some facts that they are hiding from, quote, public view.
00:16:20.780We have been working very closely with law enforcement to provide them with all of the internal to Brown information that they need to do this investigation.
00:16:54.040There are lots of reasons why a page might be taken down, particularly if there's chatter out there about, to your question, Amanda, about words that were spoken.
00:17:04.120It's easy to jump from someone saying words that were spoken to what those words are to a particular name that reflects a motive targeting a particular person.
00:17:14.420That's a really dangerous road to go down.
00:19:45.820But that possibility became even more pronounced yesterday when the following image was released of a separate person of interest in the case.
00:19:52.740This surveillance image appears to show a woman wearing a black hijab walking near the crime scene and the original person of interest in the case.
00:20:00.140And obviously, this image raises the specter, once again, of Islamist terrorism.
00:20:05.340It raises the question of whether foreigners and leftists have once again murdered Westerners as part of their global jihad or their intifada, as the mayor of New York prefers to call it.
00:20:16.780And if that is indeed what happened here, and again, we have no idea at this point, then it becomes very relevant and very important to revisit Brown's claims about the cameras on their campus.
00:20:28.700I came across this article from Brown's student newspaper, which was published back in March.
00:20:33.640It's about how the students at Brown were upset at the situation at Columbia, another Ivy League school where leftist criminals are rampant.
00:20:42.520It's quote, on Thursday afternoon, approximately 200 students gathered on the main green at Brown to protest the arrest and detainment of Columbia alum and activist Mahmoud Khalil by Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers at Columbia on Saturday.
00:20:55.220The protesters also requested the university destroy footage of past and future political speech on campus, including security camera footage.
00:21:02.980So the left-wing pro-Palestine activists are demanding that Brown erase security camera footage, supposedly so that ICE and the Trump administration can't deport them when they commit crimes.
00:21:17.280Did Brown comply in any way with that demand?
00:21:20.880There are many more demands like it all year long.
00:21:24.280Leftists despise surveillance cameras, particularly ring cameras, because they tend to catch Democrat voters committing crimes.
00:21:29.660Yesterday, a reporter asked this specific question at one of these press conferences.
00:21:32.980And once again, the authorities did not answer.
00:21:36.880The camera in that building that Brown put off because the sanctuary city law that we have, you don't want to recall illegal immigrants and you don't want to provide the footage to the FBI or immigration authority.
00:21:51.080One camera in that building, it come out from your detectives, they're afraid of mine.
00:21:55.100They're angry at this investigation, that these people in Brown university put the camera off.
00:22:01.740Do you imagine how the family want to go through?
00:22:04.140We heard from both the Brown police chief and the provost at Brown who have shared that they have been fully cooperative and shared, been forthcoming with all data and evidence that they have.
00:22:19.520That was not the only moment the authorities gave an unsatisfactory answer on this point.
00:22:24.240Two days ago, the attorney general stated that some buildings on campus are old and therefore it's simply unrealistic to expect a multibillion dollar university to put cameras on those buildings.
00:22:33.680This is reminiscent of the secret services excuse about sloped rooftops.
00:22:47.560So there's the back part of the building, old part, and front part, new part.
00:22:51.560The shooting occurs in the old part towards the back, up towards Hope Street.
00:22:55.380In that older part of the building, there are fewer, if any, cameras in that location.
00:23:00.620I imagine because it's an older building.
00:23:03.440So as students are fleeing the area of the shooting into the new part of the building, there are cameras in that brand new building that show that chaos.
00:23:13.380But the only video of the presumed, anticipated, suspected, however you want to define it, person of interest, you have it.
00:23:26.280And we would release it if we thought it would be helpful in identifying this subject because we are relying on the press and public to help get us there.
00:23:35.820There would be no reason for us to hold it back.
00:23:38.020We're looking for the best images we have.
00:24:48.520And as I answered the previous question, we have turned over all evidence that we are holding at Brown to law enforcement and are cooperating fully with them.
00:24:56.800So you're saying that there's cameras in the building.
00:25:00.100I was told yesterday there wasn't cameras in the building.
00:25:02.180The attorney general said old building, no cameras attached to a new building with cameras.
00:25:07.340I believe he said that there were two different phases of the building that might have two different levels of technology.
00:25:13.000Again, all video imagery has been turned over to law enforcement.
00:25:20.520Nothing about this investigation makes sense, which means that in a roundabout way, it makes perfect sense.
00:25:24.820This is what you get when you hire university presidents and police chiefs based on their gender and ethnicity.
00:25:30.780It's what you get when you tolerate riots and terrorism on college campuses all over the country in the name of global jihad.
00:25:38.660And most of all, it's what you get when leftists from students to school administrators to public officials feel like their ideology is losing at a national level.
00:25:54.600The account Aesthetic on X, which has been one of the most trustworthy sources for investigations like this, reported that in the aftermath of Saturday's attack, quote,
00:26:02.240a Brown University subreddit had to be shut down because in the immediate aftermath of the shooting, far left pro-Palestine Redditors were celebrating the murder of Ella Cook, the college Republican's VP who was killed.
00:26:13.540So it's the same gloating we saw from the left after the attempted assassination of Donald Trump, the murder of a UnitedHealthcare CEO, and of course, after the murder of Charlie Kirk.
00:26:24.240And now we're seeing the same gloating after the murder of a conservative student on a college campus.
00:26:30.500This is what happens when our leaders are more concerned about Venezuela than protecting conservatives and dismantling left-wing terror cells.
00:26:38.500Leftists gloat openly about butchering their political opponents and don't even try to hide it.
00:26:43.540And based on how the very diverse leaders of Brown University and the local police department have handled this so-called investigation,
00:26:51.880it's not exactly a stretch to conclude that when the cameras are turned off after these ridiculous press conferences, they're gloating too.

00:29:22.260All right, hope everybody is ready for Christmas.
00:29:26.100I completed my Christmas shopping early this year.
00:29:36.280I've never been this ahead of the game.
00:29:40.880Now, granted, it's easy for me because I'm only buying for one person, which is my wife, but even so.
00:29:48.200And as I say every year, because I just have to, and I think it's one of the best selling points in a day and age when people are hesitant to get married.
00:29:56.440One of the, I mean, not the best, not the main thing, not the headline, but like one of the perks of marriage, if you're a man anyway, is that the holidays become so much easier.
00:30:07.340I mean, they're much more enjoyable because you have a family, you know, you got a wife and you have kids.
00:30:10.560Uh, so there's that, uh, but then also the stress of the holidays, especially around, you got to buy everybody gifts and all that kind of stuff, organize whatever you're going to, you're going to see family, figure all that stuff out.
00:30:23.700Uh, that's off your plate when you're a man who's, your wife takes care of that.
00:47:28.980It tells me people are basically friendly.
00:47:30.700It tells me there's a strong sense of community.
00:47:32.260It tells me that the people in this community are honest people, relatively speaking.
00:47:38.860And I could assume all of that from the presence of an unmanned farm stand.
00:47:44.060Now, on the other hand, if your neighborhood cannot have a farm stand, I don't mean, like, if your neighborhood doesn't have one.
00:47:51.160I mean, there's plenty of neighborhoods that are nice and don't have them.
00:47:52.800But if your neighborhood just couldn't have one, if it would not be possible to have one, then that's the only indicator I need to tell me that I don't want to live there.
00:48:18.080And he made the point that it really doesn't make touch, doesn't take much to ruin this, right?
00:48:25.660It's not like, it is not as though, and this is something that, and this is his point, Wayne's point, that the crime statistics don't fully take this into account.
00:48:36.060Because you start looking at percentages and you can say, well, here's the crime percentage and here's the, and it seems like a low percentage.
00:48:42.820But that doesn't tell you the whole story because it doesn't take much.
00:48:49.800Okay, a high trust society does not merely require that a majority of people are trustworthy.
00:48:58.420Okay, if you get over the 50% hump, you're not anywhere, you're not anywhere close to living in a high trust society.
00:49:07.160High trust society where you, as the name implies, you can just basically trust everybody around you.
00:49:11.100It doesn't mean they're perfect, it just means that you can, you can basically trust that they're not going to try to rob or kill you.
00:49:17.480Like, that's kind of, that's the lowest bare minimum for high trust is you can basically trust that the people around you in your community are not going to try to rob or kill you.
00:50:03.580If you have a high trust community, if you have a high trust neighborhood, and some people move out, some people move in, and now 1% of the people in your community are these kinds of people, it ruins the whole thing.
00:50:18.120It drags, it destroys the entire thing.
00:50:20.920You go because of 1% from high trust to low trust.
00:50:26.460That 1% means you can't have your farm stand.
00:50:33.260It means, neighbor, it means, uh, you know, maybe the neighborhood, uh, block parties and barbecues are, uh, maybe you can't do those anymore because of the kinds of people that show up to them.
00:50:44.600Halloween, those sorts of things start looking a little bit different.
00:51:21.080We say, we say, you know, import the third world, become the third world.
00:51:24.780It's not like, well, you become the third world.
00:51:27.720Once there's 55% of people in the community who are third worlders, that, that process starts, that transition starts much sooner than that.

00:52:30.420This episode is sponsored by Vandy Crisps.
00:52:33.780Did you know that chips and fries were traditionally cooked in tallow until the 1990s when major food corporations made the switch to cheaper processed seed oils?
00:52:43.500These seed oils now account for about 20% of the average American's daily caloric intake.
00:52:49.260And emerging research suggests they may be contributing to metabolic dysfunction and increased inflammation throughout the body.
00:52:57.400They actually decided to do something about this mess by creating potato chips the way they should be made with just three simple ingredients and zero seed oils.
00:53:10.660Here's the thing about that beef tallow.
00:53:12.060It's not just there for incredible flavor.
00:53:14.040It's loaded with nutrients that are actually good for you, your skin, brain, hormones.
00:53:18.800Plus, when you eat Vandy, you'll feel satisfied and energetic without the gross, sluggish feeling dragging you down afterward like regular chips so often do.
00:53:27.700They're 100% American-made with zero compromises.
00:53:30.140And honestly, they truly are the best chips I've ever had.
00:53:33.440Vandy Crisps has a lot of great flavors worth trying, but their original flavor is probably my favorite.
00:53:54.320Vandy is now available nationwide at your local Sprouts supermarket.
00:53:58.120Stop by and pick up a bag before they're gone.
00:54:00.440All right, BBC reports, White House Chief of Staff Susie Walsh has disputed portions of a Vanity Fair article in which she paints an unflattering picture of the Trump administration and many of its top officials.
00:54:11.980In the interview, Walsh described Donald Trump as having an alcoholic's personality and Vice President J.D. Vance as having been a conspiracy theorist for a decade.
00:54:20.460In a post on X, Walsh said the Vanity Fair disregarded significant context to create an overwhelmingly chaotic and negative narrative about the administration.
00:54:30.440And other White House officials have come out and disputed this Vanity Fair article, which you probably heard about.
00:54:38.820This featured various members of Trump's inner circle, including Susie Wiles.
00:54:43.920And now they're all coming out and saying that they've been taken out of context.
00:56:33.460I'm not any kind of high-level political operative.
00:56:35.400And yet I know to never do print interviews unless it's on a very specific, limited, narrow subject.
00:56:40.940Or if I'm promoting something and we got a movie coming out and I figure, well, even if they do a hit piece, they're still serving my agenda by promoting the movie or whatever.
00:56:52.780But that second thing doesn't apply to the White House.
00:56:57.800It doesn't apply to the White House chief of staff or anybody else in the White House.
00:57:01.040I mean, when you're a podcaster, a commentator, a filmmaker, and you're promoting something, it's true that for the most part, any press is good press.
00:59:40.580They tell the whole story, the good and the bad, but always with accuracy and appreciation for the patriots who sacrificed everything to create the greatest country in human history.
00:59:48.520Through powerful storytelling, engaging videos, and family-friendly resources, PragerU is reaching the next generation.
00:59:54.640Millions of young people are finally hearing a message that inspires pride, not shame.
00:59:59.160And here's something you need to know.
01:00:01.040While plenty of nonprofits line up for government money, PragerU refused it, even when partnering with the White House.
01:00:06.300They won't let the government fund their message, and that's why they rely on patriotic Americans like you.
01:00:31.660Daily Wire reports the House on Wednesday approved a bill that would prohibit doctors across the country from performing transgender surgeries on minors
01:00:38.480or giving gender-confused kids puberty blockers or cross-sex hormones.
01:00:41.240The legislation introduced by outgoing representative Marjorie Taylor Greene passed 216 to 211.
01:00:48.820Under Greene's proposal, doctors who provide transgender procedures to children could face steep fines or up to 10 years in prison.
01:00:56.000And there were a few Democrats, I think like three or four, that voted for this, maybe fewer, and then a few Republicans who voted against it.
01:05:03.100No, the pain he talks about is the pain of not being able to cross-dress in public and live out his fantasies in front of unsuspecting strangers.
01:05:10.080And that is a pain that he was not experiencing when he was a child.
01:05:15.740It's a thing that he decided that he wanted to start doing and a fantasy he decided he wanted to live out.
01:05:22.200And regardless, notice how he, of course, does not address any of the arguments.
01:05:29.160You know, it doesn't make the case for chemically castrating children.
01:07:49.280But you don't know what it's like to be a person, an adult who, um, had this Frankenstein butchery done to them as a child and now has to live with it as a prisoner in your own body for the rest of your life.
01:08:24.280And, and even worse, you have to live with it under the guise, the lie that it's, that it's your, it was your choice that you're living, you're living with the consequences of your own choice.
01:08:36.000But it was never your choice because you were a child and you were not able to consent to this and it was done to you.
01:08:43.180And so on top of all that, you're being in a, in a real sense, victim blamed.
01:08:48.280So, uh, yeah, you don't know what that's like.
01:08:53.560And I feel, I don't know, about a billion times more sympathy for the people in that position than I do for you.
01:09:02.900For you when you cry about, oh, I want to be able to wear a dress in public.
01:09:07.920Like, don't you feel so sorry for me if I can't wear a dress?
01:09:12.520No, I don't feel sorry for you at all.
01:09:51.140I was thinking this morning about the, um, I was thinking about the TPUSA inaugural ball in DC back in January.
01:10:00.180And, you know, I was there and, uh, excitement, triumph, celebration, unity on the right anyway.
01:10:07.980Um, walking around DC after the, not just even at going all the different inaugural events, usually not my, usually not my speed, not my kind of thing to go to a ball, you know, but wanted to be there for this because I knew that it was historic.
01:10:23.900And I was glad that I went, even just walking around DC, the whole city shut down and it's nothing but conservatives there.
01:10:30.020You know, conservatives took over DC and everywhere you walked, it was just like, it was, it was us and, uh, everybody was getting along and everybody was happy.
01:10:39.500And you compare that to now, the entire landscape has changed and not for the better, uh, with the biggest difference, of course, being the absence of our, our leader and our friend, Charlie.
01:10:51.100So, you know, that's, and, and, and the year kind of closes on that note, but we're coming up to a new year.
