Today on the Matt Wall Show, the DA in Kenosha has announced that the officers involved in the
00:00:04.240
Jacob Blake shooting will not be charged with a crime. The left is outraged about this, of course,
00:00:08.260
but I think the real outrage is that Jacob Blake himself will also not be charged with a crime,
00:00:13.060
even though he committed many of them. We'll talk about that today. Also, five headlines,
00:00:16.320
including the runoff election in Georgia. Democrats now stand poised to take full control
00:00:21.560
of the government, but who is to blame for the massive Republican failure in the state? The blame
00:00:25.600
game. It's inevitable. We'll get into that today. And a new study suggests that maybe it turns out
00:00:31.740
men who identify as women still have an advantage over women in sports. That's what the study suggests
00:00:37.840
anyway. Shocking stuff. And in our daily cancellation, I will cancel three bands who have
00:00:43.120
declined their Grammy nominations saying they don't deserve the nominations because they're white.
00:00:47.940
White guilt is a mental illness, I believe, and I'll explain why. All that and more today on the Matt
00:00:53.320
Walsh show. So before we get going today, I want to tell you about our good friends over at Charity
00:01:04.560
Mobile. You know, I'm talking about Charity Mobile all the time, mainly because I think it's such a win.
00:01:09.420
It's the ultimate quintessential win-win situation when you can give business to a company that provides
00:01:15.820
valuable service, good service, and a company that supports your values at the same time, because
00:01:21.140
we know as conservatives that is not something we can take for granted these days, to say the least.
00:01:26.260
And there are many companies out there, many that we give our money to every single day,
00:01:29.760
that are working against us in the culture. But that's not the case with Charity Mobile.
00:01:35.820
Charity Mobile, the pro-life phone company for good reason. 5% of your monthly plan price with
00:01:40.180
Charity Mobile goes to the pro-life, pro-family charity of your choice. New activations and eligible
00:01:44.260
accounts get a free cell phone with free activation and free shipping. So that's just one of the perks you get.
00:01:49.240
Also, look, there's no contract. There's no termination fees. You also get a 30-day
00:01:53.640
guarantee. So there's no risk involved in trying out Charity Mobile. And I guarantee you, if you try
00:01:58.900
Charity Mobile, you're going to want to stick with them. They also got live customer service based in
00:02:02.640
the USA. So if you have a problem, you can always call them up. And I think the headline, though,
00:02:08.780
again, goes back to helping to build a culture of life in America while supporting a pro-life phone
00:02:13.640
company. You can turn everyday living into effortless giving for the charity of your choice. I have my
00:02:18.100
Charity Mobile phone right here. It's a service that I use. And the other thing is I've never had any
00:02:23.020
kinds of problems. I get great signal everywhere that I am, which is not which has not been my experience
00:02:28.100
historically with cell phones. But it is the case here. So call Charity Mobile at 1-877-474-3662.
00:02:34.560
That's 1-877-474-3662. Or chat with them online at charitymobile.com.
00:02:40.400
Well, big news out of Georgia. Big news happening in D.C. today. Big news everywhere,
00:02:44.440
it seems. We'll talk about all of that on the show today. But I want to start with events
00:02:47.660
out in Kenosha, Wisconsin. I lead the show with Kenosha for the simple reason that, in my view,
00:02:53.000
the truth matters. It really matters. Perhaps now more than ever. And yesterday, some important
00:02:58.500
truth was revealed, or maybe we should say confirmed, by the DA in Kenosha. Now, you may recall
00:03:04.920
weeks of rioting, how could you forget, in that city over the summer in response to the
00:03:09.480
police shooting of Jacob Blake? This was one of the major catalysts for rioting across the nation.
00:03:14.940
What kept it going all summer after the George Floyd shooting kicked things off?
00:03:18.960
Jacob Blake was memorialized, even though he's still alive, by the way, by the NBA, many other
00:03:24.240
professional sports teams, high-ranking Democrats, including Joe Biden, made pilgrimages to the city
00:03:31.780
to pay homage to Blake's family and Blake himself. And this was all done based on a narrative that formed
00:03:38.320
and cemented into the public consciousness within minutes of the original incident.
00:03:42.400
The narrative, if you remember, was this. Blake was driving along on the road one fine Sunday
00:03:49.160
with his kids in the car, you know, probably taking them to the park or to Chuck E. Cheese or something,
00:03:54.200
minding his own business when he saw two people fighting. And being such a good Samaritan,
00:04:00.260
Blake pulled over to break up the fight because he just cares so much about his community.
00:04:04.200
And soon the cops showed up, assaulted poor Mr. Blake, and as he tried to climb back into his
00:04:10.920
vehicle with his kids, they shot him in the back seven times while unarmed for no reason other than
00:04:16.640
their own bigoted bloodlust. That was the tale that was told based on a 30-second out-of-context video,
00:04:24.440
and it was enough to supposedly justify all of the rioting, looting, and murder that came after it.
00:04:29.800
But it was all a lie. Every part of it. Every part of it. Blake, in fact, was at the house because
00:04:36.780
he was harassing his ex-girlfriend, the same ex-girlfriend who had credibly accused Blake
00:04:40.580
of breaking into her house and raping her a few months prior. There was a felony warrant out for
00:04:45.600
Blake's arrest because of that. Blake was not unarmed. He actually had a knife. He assaulted the
00:04:50.680
cops, not the other way around. And the car he was trying to climb into was not his own. He was
00:04:55.420
attempting to steal it. So this was a wanted criminal, a violent felon, an accused rapist,
00:05:02.140
armed with a knife, resisting arrest, assaulting the cops, harassing his alleged rape victim,
00:05:07.400
and trying to steal her car with their children inside of it. That was enough already, you know,
00:05:12.640
and we knew all of that. It was already enough to know that the shooting was entirely justified.
00:05:17.820
And Blake, who is a scumbag of the highest order, brought everything on himself.
00:05:22.660
But yesterday, finally, this reality was confirmed by the Kenosha DA, Michael Gravely,
00:05:28.960
who announced that there would be no charges filed against the officers in the case.
00:05:32.960
It shouldn't have taken this long to make this announcement. It was, as I said, obvious to any
00:05:37.040
rational person within the first day that the officers did nothing wrong. Nonetheless, the right
00:05:43.020
decision is being made, at least the right decision with respect to the officers. There is a miscarriage
00:05:48.440
of justice here, an outrage worth talking about, but we'll get to that in a second.
00:05:52.660
First, in explaining why the officers won't be charged with a crime, the DA emphasized that Blake
00:05:59.900
was not unarmed. He was armed. He had a knife. Listen to this.
00:06:05.240
Jacob Blake, while actively resisting, arms himself with a knife. I continue to hear,
00:06:11.960
I think I heard at the rally last night, the vigil, where someone again said he was unarmed.
00:06:18.220
It is absolutely incontrovertible that Jacob Blake was armed with a knife during this encounter.
00:06:26.820
Uncontrovertible. Most uncontrovertible because Jacob Blake, in all of the times he spoke to DCI,
00:06:35.740
Of course, as he alludes to there, the fact that Blake was armed and can be seen armed on video,
00:06:42.360
and you can hear people shouting, drop the knife, and even admits he was armed, doesn't matter.
00:06:48.880
It doesn't matter to the media. It doesn't matter to the activists. The Washington Post,
00:06:52.460
after this press conference, published an article, this was yesterday, still claiming that Blake was
00:06:57.980
shot while unarmed. And why not? You know, they know that their readership doesn't care at all about
00:07:03.360
the truth. They know that those who buy into the conspiracy theory that racist cops are executing
00:07:08.700
black people are immune to facts. And that's why this next part of the press conference also made
00:07:14.820
no difference to them, but I'll play it anyway, because I think it's important. Here's the DA
00:07:18.680
applying the initial 911 call from Blake's ex-girlfriend and alleged rape victim.
00:07:26.360
David, Jacob Blake is here, and he has the keys to a rental that I purchased that I need to take
00:07:32.000
back, and he's not trying to release it. And on top of that, he's not supposed to be here.
00:07:36.260
Today is his son's birthday, so I'll allow him to spend a couple hours with him, but he's not
00:07:41.080
giving me the keys to this rental. And that's all I'm asking for. I never would have called you guys.
00:07:45.920
I promise you I'll try to keep from calling you guys, but he's crashed numerous of my vehicles
00:07:50.940
in the past, and I literally just bought one, like yesterday. And so just because he heard some
00:07:56.640
false information, he's not willing to give me the keys to this car that doesn't even belong to
00:08:01.780
me. Me and my sisters just saw him skirt off in it and turn around and come back. So I need you
00:08:07.860
guys to come in. I need these people. Okay, what is your name? My name is Laquisha Booker. Go ahead
00:08:13.120
and tell the girls that. Go ahead and tell them that. Do not put your shoes on. The police are on their way
00:08:17.520
here. Yes, it is. Do not put your shoes on. You didn't even want to go outside. Is Jacob there
00:08:25.140
right now? Yes, and he's trying to kiss his kid so he can hurry up and leave. He was here just
00:08:32.060
talking all types of crazy, and now he's walking off now. Now he's getting ready to leave. Well,
00:08:37.060
let me get the license plate. Okay, so they came because they were called by the woman there,
00:08:42.900
and the real victim in this case, by the way, who quite reasonably wanted to prevent her abusive
00:08:48.280
ex-boyfriend, who she had a restraining order against, from stealing her car and crashing it
00:08:52.360
again, she says. He's done this before and crashed it, this time with her kids inside.
00:08:57.000
The DA also revealed, and here was a new revelation, that three of the bullet wounds in Blake's body
00:09:03.380
were on his side, not his back. So even the part about being shot in the back, that was a lie too.
00:09:10.440
That's not true, which confirms what the officer claimed and what eyewitnesses reported, that as
00:09:16.820
the officer grabbed him to prevent him from climbing into his ex-girlfriend's vehicle, Blake turned back
00:09:22.460
around towards the officer with the knife still in his hand. It was at that point that the officer
00:09:28.200
fired. Why did the officer grab Blake in the first place? Well, because he was a violent, again,
00:09:34.580
a violent armed criminal, wanted felon, trying to evade arrest by driving away in a stolen vehicle
00:09:43.300
with children inside. The thing is, the officers would have been entirely justified in shooting
00:09:48.460
him dead on the spot for that reason alone, even if it was in the back. When you've got a wanted
00:09:54.080
fugitive, alleged rapist, abusive person, restraining order against him, he's trying to get into a car,
00:10:03.300
the car of his victim, steal it, kids inside, drive away to get to, you know, and you don't know what
00:10:09.160
he's going to do. Is there going to be a high-speed chase? Is he going to hold one of the kids hostage?
00:10:12.720
Who knows? If your only way to stop him from getting into the car is to shoot him, you'd be
00:10:18.900
completely justified in doing that. In fact, you would be unjustified in not doing it. If you let him
00:10:25.940
get into that car with those kids because he didn't want to shoot him, that would be on you as a
00:10:30.400
police officer. That would be the real outrage. But on top of all that, you know, the fact that
00:10:35.760
he turned back towards them with the knife in his hand only adds an exclamation point to the
00:10:40.640
officer's innocence. But as I said, there is an outrage in the DA's decision. There is a miscarriage
00:10:46.720
of justice. It's not what the left is claiming, as they weep and wail over a police officer not being
00:10:51.200
charged with a crime for shooting a violent armed felon in self-defense. No, the outrage is that
00:10:55.560
Jacob Blake is not being charged with any crime. Keep in mind, he had already been given merely
00:11:02.540
probation for the charges stemming from the original warrant. And again, he had that warrant because he
00:11:07.400
was accused of unlawfully entering a woman's house, raping her, then stealing her credit cards
00:11:11.180
and her vehicle. He was given two years of probation for that back in November. Now he faces no charges at
00:11:18.680
all for his actions on the day of the shooting, even though those actions constitute a whole series
00:11:22.640
of additional felonies, violating a restraining order, harassment, theft, assault of a police
00:11:27.720
officer, resisting arrest. That's just the start of it. To be clear, the officers committed no crime at
00:11:34.860
all. Blake, on the other hand, has committed dozens of violent felonies that we know about
00:11:40.340
since the alleged rape earlier in the year and will face almost no legal consequence for any of it.
00:11:47.040
This is the outrage here. If you want to be angry about the DA's decision, be angry about that.
00:11:54.440
Jacob Blake should be in prison for the rest of his life. He is the abuser, the bad guy who suffered
00:12:00.880
the physical consequences of his own actions and now should suffer legal consequences too.
00:12:07.820
And all the while, the woman, his ex-girlfriend, the woman you heard in that 911 tape,
00:12:12.540
has been silenced, ignored. That's the first time we've heard her voice throughout all of this.
00:12:19.200
The media has never even asked. They don't bring her up. It's like she doesn't exist.
00:12:25.460
Silenced, ignored, and forgotten throughout this whole affair. Nobody says her name.
00:12:30.480
No one's taking a knee on her behalf. Yet she remains the victim, not Jacob Blake,
00:12:37.700
who is, if he's a victim of anything, he's a victim of nothing but his own choices.
00:12:51.740
Well, the runoff election in Georgia yesterday, it's looking like Democrats are poised to win both
00:12:57.480
races and take control of the Senate. The nightmare situation has been realized. I'm not one to panic
00:13:06.360
over election results. And I'm still not panicking now. I don't think panic is ever the appropriate
00:13:13.420
response to anything, really. But this is a very bad situation because the Democrats, as we know,
00:13:21.240
with each passing day, they just plunge deeper and deeper into their own insane radicalism.
00:13:28.140
And now they're going to control the entire government. And on top of that,
00:13:31.280
they're, you know, they're out for revenge. They feel like they need to avenge the last four years
00:13:36.100
of them not being in control. And who knows what they're going to do with it? I mean, our prayer now,
00:13:43.380
our hope is that they'll be too incompetent and fighting too much amongst themselves to do any real
00:13:48.860
damage. And that's, that's the hope. And, uh, it may be, uh, whether it's a reasonable hope or not,
00:13:55.240
I'm not sure. But the question now is with Republicans losing the Senate, uh, and the state
00:14:02.320
of Georgia, you know, who do we blame? And you could say, well, it doesn't matter. We don't need
00:14:06.980
to play the blame game. What, what, what does it matter to go back? It does kind of matter. If we want
00:14:11.240
to learn any lessons for the future, then we need to, we need to learn. We need to, we need to know
00:14:16.580
what, what, what went wrong? Why did this happen? Now, the narrative that's taking shape,
00:14:23.240
it seems like, uh, among many on the right, especially, especially, you know, Trump, Trump
00:14:28.180
supporters, uh, that the narrative that I'm, I'm seeing right now is that, well, this is Mitch
00:14:33.360
McConnell's fault because, uh, you know, he didn't get the, he opposed the $2,000 stimulus checks
00:14:39.400
and, uh, and voters were very upset about that. And that's why this happened.
00:14:44.980
Now I'm sure that played a part, right? And, uh, and I was on this show talking about six,
00:14:53.060
600 bucks, isn't going to do anything. If you're going to send the checks, I opposed the stimulus
00:14:56.940
bill, the way that it was written. They're going to send the checks needs to be more than 600.
00:15:00.060
I think 2000 is better than 600. Um, but even with the 2000, the way they were doing it,
00:15:05.100
it still would be basically probably useless for the most part. I, but I just don't see how that is,
00:15:11.180
is what's at fault here because the reality is this was a close election in a state. The
00:15:19.180
Republicans should have won. And what we know is that there were prominent people on the right
00:15:25.240
who were either explicitly saying or implying for months that voters in Georgia might as well not
00:15:33.520
vote because it's just going to be stolen and rigged anyway. So there's no reason to vote
00:15:36.800
either people on the right conserves so-called supposed conservatives, either explicitly
00:15:44.140
encouraging Republicans in Georgia, not to vote or depressing the turnout, um,
00:15:51.740
in slightly more subtle ways. How is that not what's at fault here? When you had, you had,
00:15:58.760
you had people on the right depressing their own turnout, disenfranchising their own voters,
00:16:05.160
telling their own voters not to vote. And then what do you know, Republicans lose and we're
00:16:10.080
supposed to blame Mitch McConnell. We're supposed to blame somebody else, not someone like Lin Wood,
00:16:17.360
who's out there doing rallies in Georgia, telling people not to vote for Republicans.
00:16:22.080
Somehow he, oh no, it's not him. Come on. It's absolutely ridiculous. Yeah. It turns out when
00:16:31.200
you tell your voters not to vote, you lose. Wow. What a, what a, what an amazing turn of events.
00:16:39.440
No, it couldn't possibly be that. When you had, when you had people on the right telling Republicans
00:16:45.360
not to vote and then Republicans don't vote, there's low voter turnout and they lose. No, but I don't,
00:16:50.860
I don't see the connection here. How could you possibly connect these dots?
00:16:55.620
No, it must be all about the stimulus bill. Come on. No, what this is, is this is, um,
00:17:04.520
you know, this is CYA. This is cover your ass. There are a lot of people on the right,
00:17:10.360
some prominent people who are responsible for this because they were out there depressing
00:17:18.140
turnout. And now this is on them. This is their fault. We're going to have Democrats in charge of
00:17:23.240
the entire government for at least two years. Everything that happens because of that, it is
00:17:26.760
on them. It's their fault. And I'm no Mitch McConnell apologist. I'm happy to blame him for
00:17:34.820
anything. He can be blamed for it. I don't think he gets the blame for this because he wasn't the one
00:17:40.900
out there doing rallies in Georgia telling conservatives not to vote. He wasn't the one
00:17:44.960
doing that. One thing is clear though, um, that, that this had to do with Republicans not showing
00:17:53.360
up lower, low turnout. Okay. It wasn't that Republicans voted Democrat in large numbers.
00:17:59.220
I don't think that was the case. Despite the media narrative bolstered by interviews with voters like
00:18:03.960
this, I want to show you this. Here was an interview in Georgia with a supposed lifelong Republican,
00:18:09.040
but I'm, I'm a little suspicious of it. I don't know. You tell me, um, but let's, let's listen to
00:18:14.360
this. There are a couple of reasons why I came today. One, there's a responsibility I have as a
00:18:20.720
citizen of the United States to come out and exercise my right to vote. There's many people
00:18:25.320
around the world that don't have this privilege. So I want to do that too. I know that the entire
00:18:30.940
country is looking at Georgia right now as to what our decision is going to be. So I needed to at
00:18:36.460
least make my voice be heard through the exercise, exercising my right to vote, have been a lifelong
00:18:42.900
Republican. This is the first time I've ever voted for a democratic candidate, just because there are
00:18:47.720
issues regarding our environment, regarding, um, taxation, regarding diversity issues and so forth
00:18:55.860
that I think need to be addressed. And I'm hoping they will be with the Senate that can actually
00:19:00.580
help encourage and enact, uh, president Biden's policies. Sure. Lifelong Georgian Republican and
00:19:10.280
his top issues are taxation, the environment and diversity, right? I, this guy's been Republican
00:19:17.300
his whole life down there in Georgia. And, uh, all he's cared about is diversity in the environment,
00:19:21.560
but he's been a lifelong Republican, right? See, I, I, I've kind of changed my view on this a
00:19:26.580
little bit because when I first heard that I thought, um, well, this guy's just, you know,
00:19:31.600
he's, he's, uh, just a, he's a Democrat voter pretending that he was lifelong Republican. Um,
00:19:39.040
it could be that, but when I, when I just listened to there, I started to think maybe,
00:19:43.440
I think maybe something else is going on here. I think maybe this is a, this is actually a lifelong
00:19:49.200
Republican who's just lying. I don't know if he voted Democrat or not, but he's certainly lying
00:19:55.440
about his reasons for doing it because he's talking to the media and he's trying to say,
00:20:01.120
he's trying to say what he thinks the media wants to hear. Maybe it's more of that. I don't know,
00:20:07.300
but just the way he's like, well, um, cause he, he, he didn't, he didn't, he certainly doesn't
00:20:12.060
sound like a Republican there, but he doesn't exactly sound like a Democrat either. He sounds
00:20:16.160
like he's just BSing. He says, you know, um, I was motivated by things regarding diversity issues,
00:20:23.420
you know, environment issues. Uh, it doesn't sound like someone actually cares about those issues.
00:20:31.820
So I'm not sure which it is. Could be, could be a little, could be virtue signaling,
00:20:36.080
you know, uh, Republican trying to say, Hey, I'm one of the cool guys could be a Democrat pretending,
00:20:42.380
but whatever it is, we know there's a lot of BS being, uh, being heaped on us in that video.
00:20:47.980
A little bit, a little bit of comic relief though. We got, at least we got that something to laugh
00:20:51.160
about amid all the dreariness. Number two, going back to the Kenosha story for a minute. Um,
00:20:56.340
I just saw this before we went on the air. LeBron James has weighed in and speaking of someone
00:21:02.580
BSing their way along, sounding like they have no idea what they're talking about. Um,
00:21:08.760
here's LeBron James. I'm smart enough to know that even though we're playing a game of basketball,
00:21:13.020
that there's so much more that's going on in the world. So, so much more that's even more
00:21:17.120
important than us playing the game. Um, and, uh, to hear what happened to Kenosha today was,
00:21:22.300
uh, um, was a blow to the heart and to the gut. Um, you know, not only to that community,
00:21:27.460
um, you know, but to us and to every, um, you know, I guess, you know, black person that,
00:21:34.020
that just has, uh, been a part of this process and seeing these outcomes for so long. And not only
00:21:40.020
just in the black community, but also in the white community as well, who, who, who see, uh,
00:21:44.360
you know, moments like this happened to us, um, and to happen to his family and to happen to the
00:21:48.820
kid himself, um, to see that verdict, it was just, um, it was a blow to the gut, like I said,
00:21:54.160
and a blow to the heart. Um, um, but we got to continue to, we got to continue to stay strong,
00:21:59.640
um, continue to, to, to believe in each other and continue to push for the, for the, for the
00:22:03.720
greater of change and for the greater of good. And, uh, to hear, uh, you know, my people turn out
00:22:08.380
in Georgia, um, in the fashion that they did, um, I definitely going to get some more
00:22:12.160
information on it, but I heard they, they turned out in Georgia and, and that's, uh,
00:22:16.120
commendable. Um, it's something that we started with more than a vote and we want to continue
00:22:19.400
to do that and continue to support, you know, actions like this and causes that went on today,
00:22:22.820
um, has been going on obviously. So, um, proud of, um, you know, proud of my people, um, for
00:22:28.720
getting out there, um, and doing what they do best. So, and that's being heard and being seen,
00:22:36.220
This guy has no idea what's going on. He has no clue. That was just one long parade of cliches.
00:22:42.160
Uh, I'm proud of, uh, down there in Georgia, the, the, the turnout and, uh, you know, the
00:22:46.480
situations that are going on down there, uh, there's all kinds of situations. I'm proud
00:22:50.020
of those situations. There are other situations I'm not proud of, you know, there's bad situations
00:22:54.740
or good situations, but I just really, I like the good situations and I'm, and, um, um, I'm
00:23:00.100
just so proud of that. This guy has just no clue, no clue what's going on in the world.
00:23:05.920
Um, and he calls Jacob Blake a kid. Ah, you know, that poor kid, that kid, Jacob Blake's
00:23:10.980
like 30 years old, a wanted felon, 30 years old, allegedly raped a woman, you know, assaulted
00:23:16.940
a police officer. It's just a, just an innocent kid. And of course, LeBron James, we talk about
00:23:20.560
how the woman is being ignored and all this, uh, LeBron James, that's another one. He's,
00:23:24.980
he's never acknowledged her, never said anything about her, doesn't care at all. But the fact
00:23:31.680
that LeBron really has no idea what's going on and doesn't care. That's the point. Doesn't
00:23:36.780
really care. You think he really cares about Jacob Blake and what's happening in Kenosha.
00:23:41.000
It's not like someone like LeBron is, uh, is misguided in it. It was really passionate,
00:23:46.780
but he's just a moron and he's misguided. That that's the, I think it's incorrect to see
00:23:52.100
it that way. I think you're doing him a favor. Yeah. He might be a moron and he might be misguided
00:23:56.980
in many ways. That's not exactly what's happening here. I think he doesn't really care at all.
00:24:00.740
Um, he's living in his mansion in Los Angeles, just kind of casually throwing hand grenades
00:24:09.280
into, into, uh, into crowded cities, doing his part to spark rioting and looting and unrest.
00:24:16.300
Doesn't care at all. Doesn't mean anything to him. He just knows it's kind of a popular thing to say
00:24:21.080
and it's getting him some, some good attention that he likes and the right kinds of people are
00:24:25.620
patting him on the back for it. And so he doesn't care.
00:24:30.740
Just kind of casually yanking the pin out, tossing the grenade.
00:24:34.880
Doesn't matter to him. Guy's a sociopath. A lot of those out there. Number three,
00:24:40.380
it seems like we see videos like this, you know, five times a week, but here's another
00:24:43.720
altercation sparked by a member of the volunteer mask Gestapo. Uh, many people take it upon themselves.
00:24:53.480
They, they join the mask Gestapo and on a volunteer basis, they, they are, you know,
00:24:57.760
if they're on a plane or if they're at a restaurant or in a grocery store there,
00:25:01.620
even though they don't work there, they're just patrolling, looking out for maskless people.
00:25:05.680
And here's another example, um, of a guy without a mask being harassed by someone for not wearing it.
00:25:11.300
Let's watch that 70,000 Twitter followers. Wow. You have 70,000 Twitter followers. Well,
00:25:19.320
they're not, that means nothing. You're still being very rude. These, these men are just drinking
00:25:25.140
coffee. They're allowed to have a mask off when they're drinking.
00:25:29.580
They weren't wearing masks. Wait, where? We were drinking. No, no, no, no, no.
00:25:37.820
Anymore than you. Social distancing. That's more effective than the mask. So why don't you
00:25:43.080
step back and leave them? You're not involved. Yes, we are. Yes, we are, because you're not
00:25:47.040
involved on this train. With this mask off. Please, excuse me.
00:25:52.580
You're having an issue here. Okay. Correct me if I'm wrong, but this woman, she has a, okay.
00:26:02.980
She has a mask. She has a visor. Does she also have goggles? Am I seeing that correctly? I know
00:26:09.300
she's wearing glasses, but it looks to me like this, uh, the mask Gestapo member there, this,
00:26:15.280
this woman who, who, who, I don't know if you heard that, but she, uh, what I really wanted you
00:26:19.080
to hear is at the very beginning, she bragged about having 70,000 Twitter followers.
00:26:22.940
Which I'm skeptical of, by the way, in the first place. But she says, uh, she said she
00:26:27.960
had 70,000 Twitter followers. So she was, she was taking a video of this guy, uh, sitting
00:26:32.260
on the train without a mask on and saying, I'm going to, I'm going to tell on you. I'm
00:26:36.820
telling, I'm telling, they're like my kids, a bunch of tattletales. I have to tell my kids
00:26:42.920
every day, especially my daughter. She's going through a tattletale phase. I have to talk to
00:26:46.780
her about this every single day and I'm working with her precisely because I don't want her
00:26:50.300
to end up like that with a visor and goggles and a mask, taking a video of some guy minding
00:26:56.680
his own damn business on a train, drinking a bottle of water. So he doesn't have his mask
00:27:00.820
on. I'm telling, except my daughter, seven, this nutcase is 70. My daughter has an excuse. What's,
00:27:09.140
what's your excuse? Um, this is, I really think that, and we know that the lockdowns and everything,
00:27:20.540
things that have happened over the last several months have, have, uh, caused a crisis of mental
00:27:25.800
health. And we hear about that a lot, but I think we focus on, you know, the plight of people who are
00:27:30.760
trapped in their homes and they're alone and they're isolated. And maybe they were already
00:27:34.400
dealing with things like depression or, or, or, you know, drug addiction and how, how hard this is
00:27:39.920
on them. And we should be focusing on that because I think that that's, you know, those are people who
00:27:44.260
are being, being forgotten in all of this. And, uh, we know that suicides are up and everything.
00:27:48.860
Um, but when we talk about the, the mental health toll, I think also this, like the woman there in
00:27:56.440
that video, there, there, there are people who have just been broken and many of them probably
00:28:03.200
were already broken, but even more so have been broken by things that have happened over the last
00:28:10.540
few months. And now they're leaving their home with goggles, a visor, a mask.
00:28:18.860
If somebody just pulls down a mask to take a drink of water, they start freaking out.
00:28:24.040
Terrified. I was, I was going for a jog the other day around the neighborhood.
00:28:28.760
And you could say that maybe I'm the one with mental health problems if I'm going for a jog.
00:28:31.940
Uh, cause even when I was doing it, I was kind of like, every time I jog, I think to myself,
00:28:35.640
why am I doing this exactly? What is the point of what I'm doing right now? I don't exactly know,
00:28:39.700
but I was jogging around the neighborhood and, uh, I passed by a guy. He was out, he was outside
00:28:45.000
in his own driveway with a mask on in his own driveway. Nobody else around. I mean, I, I wrote,
00:28:52.160
I, I ran by him, you know, 20 yards away in his own driveway with a mask on. These are people that
00:29:00.500
have been broken, mentally broken. And I don't think there's any easy recovery from it. The woman in
00:29:07.700
that video of eventually, if we ever move past this and, uh, the mask ordinances go away, if that
00:29:14.580
ever happens, you think she's just going to go back to normal, assuming she was ever normal to
00:29:20.200
begin with? No, this paranoia and fear and this, this, um, you know, this disposition they have now,
00:29:30.380
it's not going to go away. This compulsion, but, um, all right, let's go, let's go to number four
00:29:40.380
here. Here's a shocking report from NBC news. This, here it is. Get ready for this. Prepare
00:29:46.560
yourself. It says a new study suggests transgender women, i.e. men who identify as women, maintain an
00:29:53.240
athletic advantage over their cisgender peers, even after a year on hormone therapy. The results
00:29:58.840
published last month in the British journal journal of sports medicine could mean the current one year
00:30:03.600
waiting period for Olympic athletes who are transitioning is inadequate. The studies lead
00:30:08.480
author, Dr. Timothy Roberts, a pediatrician and the director of the adolescent medical training
00:30:12.440
program at children's mercy hospital in Kansas, Kansas city, Missouri said for the Olympic level,
00:30:17.140
the elite level, I'd say probably two years is more realistic than one year at one year. The trans
00:30:21.220
women on average still have an advantage over the cis women. Uh, and then it goes on from there. So
00:30:26.640
what they're saying is when a man says he's a woman and then goes and competes against women,
00:30:32.780
he still has the biological advantage of men, even though he says he's a woman. Why does he have that
00:30:39.000
biological advantage? I don't know. They don't go into details in this study, but I think it's probably
00:30:43.720
because he still is a man. That's probably the reason because it's kind of a mystery, right? Why would a,
00:30:50.560
a man who says he's a woman and then competes against women in sports and still has the biological
00:30:56.940
advantage of men? How could that be? How is it possible? Is it that he's still biologically a man?
00:31:07.200
Is it that he'll always be biologically a man, no matter what he says or how he identifies or what
00:31:14.060
drugs he takes or, or what medical procedures he undergoes, he will still always be a biological
00:31:21.140
man. Could that be the case? I don't know. The study doesn't say the study and said they, I don't
00:31:26.160
know how much, I don't know how much they spent on this, how much money they spent, um, how many years
00:31:32.060
they spent on this doing this study. But in the end, all they do is confirm what everybody with
00:31:38.220
common sense knew right away anyway. So I'm glad that they could do that study. I mean, they, you
00:31:45.120
know, I don't know. They, they could have, they could have just whatever, however, however many
00:31:47.660
millions they spent on this study, they could have just given it to me. And I would have told them
00:31:50.820
that. That's something to keep in mind for next time. Number five, finally, I want to play this for
00:31:55.120
you just because it's, uh, it's fascinating in a sick kind of way. It's fascinating. I think to,
00:31:58.800
to, to witness Kamala Harris attempting to pretend to be human. Um, you remember we, we talked about
00:32:05.580
yesterday the story Kamala told about when she was a kid and she fell out of a stroller and shouted
00:32:11.520
freedom like William Wallace. Well, apparently she's been telling that story, which was plagiarized
00:32:16.760
from Martin Luther King Jr. Um, as, as it turns out, she's been telling that for years. And here's a,
00:32:22.180
here's examples that were, were dug up. Let's watch this. Well, I was in a stroller and I was in a
00:32:29.300
stroller and, um, so I was out there and in fact, my mother used to have a very funny story, but I was,
00:32:35.240
fussing and, and, and she said, Kamala, what do you want? And I said, and this is how she would
00:32:40.500
say it. And she said, Kamala, what do you want? And I said, tweet him. Oh, come on. It was a much
00:32:51.020
cuter story when she would tell it, but that's the story she told. By the way, is that how they're
00:32:56.480
doing the late night shows now? I guess that is it though? I haven't watched, I never watch them.
00:33:00.100
So I really don't know, but they've been doing this the whole time. It's like Skype.
00:33:02.740
I guess I'm way behind the times because I don't, I don't really care that much. I've
00:33:06.840
never watched them, but anyway, that's her tell. She told, and there was another video.
00:33:09.880
She told the story somewhere else on stage. It's always a little bit, she adds different,
00:33:13.940
a little bit of different, you know, she embellishes in different places and adds details here and
00:33:17.820
there. But, uh, that's, that's the story. And my question is, this is the thing nobody's asking.
00:33:25.160
If it really, well, it didn't happen. Okay. But let's, let's pretend for a moment that it did happen.
00:33:29.580
Um, how, how could your child fall out of a stroller and you not notice? That's what I don't
00:33:37.500
get because number one, you're, you're, you're walking the child with the stroller. If they fall
00:33:43.260
out, they're going to probably fall in front of the stroller. So what you just run over the child,
00:33:47.100
just like step on them and walk over them and not even notice. What was that bump? That probably
00:33:51.180
nothing. That's probably someone else's kid. You keep going, you go like two blocks. Hey,
00:33:56.280
where'd the kid go? That's, you know, that's the, the least of our concerns with that story,
00:34:02.720
but it is, uh, it's still, if that story is true, then Kamala Harris is revealing that she had a very
00:34:07.560
neglectful mother. So we know that at least now a quick word from our friends over at rock auto,
00:34:13.060
you know, a good thing for, for me, ever since I moved to, uh, to Tennessee is that we've been able
00:34:18.020
to save a lot of money because that's one of the great, it's one of the reasons why everybody's
00:34:21.900
moving to Tennessee. And if too many people move, then it's going to become expensive. So please,
00:34:25.620
everyone's done. Well, I think we got to cut it off now that I've moved here. Everyone else would
00:34:28.800
stop moving. I should be the last one. So I get to get to have all the benefits for myself, but
00:34:32.200
anyway, saving money, um, in, in Tennessee, but it's always good. I want to save more money
00:34:36.760
because I'm greedy in that way. And that's why I use rock auto.com. It's so much easier and so much
00:34:41.500
cheaper than walking into a store and, you know, having to deal with all that, somebody demanding quick
00:34:46.880
answers to the questions that you might have. Um, and, uh, and at the end of the day, whatever
00:34:53.680
you're looking for, they probably won't have it and they got to order it online. Anyway, why not do
00:34:57.760

See all the parts available for your car or truck, right? Walsh in there. How did you hear about us
00:35:46.480
box? So they know that we sent you. And, uh, also listen, important to tell you about this because
00:35:53.440
there's a reason that millions of people believe lies about conservatives. And that's because
00:35:59.460
they've been trained to do so by content creators that despise us. We talk about bias in the media.
00:36:04.600
Well, bias in the news media is a problem. That's not nearly as bad as the bias you get in
00:36:10.180
entertainment. I think the bias in entertainment, um, is a lot more influential because people are
00:36:15.160
moved by it when they're not expecting it. When you watch the news, you expect sort of to get bias
00:36:20.760
by a lot of people. When they sit down and they watch, just they consume entertainment. They don't
00:36:25.500
expect it. And so they're much more susceptible to it. Um, that's why they always say politics is
00:36:31.380
downstream from culture. And we, as a culture are starving for content that's edgy and entertaining
00:36:35.740
and also awesome, but that doesn't mock conservative values. That's why we need to
00:36:39.960
give people options. And daily wire is aiming to do just that. And that's why we've told you about
00:36:44.940
the new film. The new daily wire film was our first film. We're very excited about it. It's
00:36:48.480
called run, hide, fight. This is not your stereotypical conservative film. In fact, it's
00:36:53.240
not, it's not political at all. I wouldn't really call it a conservative film at all. It's also not
00:36:57.400
family friendly. Okay. This is not something you'd sit down with. And I'm not going to sit down with my
00:37:01.240
seven-year-old kids and watch it with them. It is intense. It's violent, but it has a powerful
00:37:06.060
message that goes with it as well. The movie follows a high school siege by a quartet of
00:37:10.080
school shooters. When one young girl, 17 year old Zoe Hall uses her wits and survival skills
00:37:15.180
to fight back. Uh, I've seen the movie myself and you're talking about the 17 year old girl,
00:37:21.440
the character Zoe Hall, uh, the performance there is one thing that really jumped out at me watching
00:37:25.680
the movie. I think it'll jump out at you too, is, um, many of the performances in the movie are very
00:37:29.840
good. The performance, especially of the lead, uh, the lead character who plays Zoe Hall, I thought
00:37:35.940
was, was, uh, was really spectacular. That's why we're really excited to show you this film and bring
00:37:40.540
you something that's never been done before in conservative media. Run, hide, fight will be
00:37:43.920
available to watch on Friday, January 15th at dailywire.com. And we'll be doing a special live
00:37:48.980
stream premiere the night before on Thursday, January 14th on the daily wire YouTube channel.
00:37:53.620
Let's kick off 2021 by fighting back on culture and creating our own content. Now let's
00:37:59.820
get to our daily cancellation. So today we're canceling Alistair Mook, Dog on Fleas and the
00:38:10.820
Okie Dokie Brothers. Now I never thought I'd see the day when I had to cancel Alistair Mook,
00:38:17.240
Dog on Fleas and the Okie Dokie Brothers, mainly because I had no idea who they were. As it turns
00:38:21.740
out, they are bands that perform children's music. Now prior to this, the only children's band I knew of
00:38:27.820
is, uh, it's called the Wiggles. And they're a group of insufferable, abominable Australians who
00:38:33.780
dress like crew members on the Starship Enterprise and sing songs about fruit salad. My oldest kids
00:38:39.420
were obsessed with the Wiggles for years. And I was driven to the edge of insanity on many long car
00:38:44.860
rides, forced to listen to Wiggles songs on repeat for hours on end. It's like a violation of the Geneva
00:38:51.620
convention or something. Because of this experience, I have developed a deep loathing of children's
00:38:56.440
bands. And perhaps that's informing my decision today to cancel the Okie Dokie Brothers and the
00:39:00.780
rest of the crew. Um, I don't know, but I think they, they richly deserve it. That's what I think.
00:39:05.620
But you tell me what you think. Here's the NPR report. It says three of the five acts nominated for
00:39:11.760
the 2021 best children's album Grammy award are saying no thanks. They're upset that the contenders
00:39:18.080
in their category are all white. One of them is Alistair Mook, whose nominated album,
00:39:23.320
Be a Pain, is about American heroes who stood up for their principles. The Reverend Martin Luther
00:39:28.120
King Jr., Harvey Milk, Rosa Parks, um, the Parkland, Florida shooting student protesters and others.
00:39:36.980
Harvey Milk, by the way, was a, uh, a pederast, but, uh, you know, yeah, sure. Why not sing about
00:39:41.480
him in your children's album? A big deal there. Upon hearing the news, he was, uh, he was going back
00:39:46.160
to the articles. Upon hearing the news, he was nominated that he was nominated along with three
00:39:49.220
other white male acts and one white woman, Mook smacked his head. After this year, to have an
00:39:54.620
all white slate of nominees seemed really tone deaf. He says the Boston based singer songwriter
00:39:59.600
says he'd love to get a Grammy Grammy, but quote, I don't want it like this where the playing field's
00:40:05.420
not even. Mook is protesting by turning down his nomination. So our fellow acts dog on fleas in
00:40:11.080
the Okie Dokie brothers. Okay. Now we have to, we have to pause here to acknowledge a certain possibility.
00:40:15.520
As I said, I've never listened to any of these bands. I don't know much about the children's
00:40:21.280
music space other than the fact that it makes me want to stick my head into a blender.
00:40:25.240
It's possible that these particular acts never had any chance of winning in the first place. And so
00:40:31.300
now they're saving the embarrassment of losing by pretending to decline the nomination for noble
00:40:36.300
reasons. So it would be kind of like if I somehow was invited to play Kevin, to play Kevin Durant
00:40:41.980
one-on-one, but I declined the invitation and said, no, you know, I'd love to play and I'm sure
00:40:47.900
I'd probably win, but I think someone who's, you know, less privileged should play instead. I just,
00:40:54.940
I'm really looking out for the underprivileged. I'd love to play. I would play, I'd win, you know,
00:40:58.580
but I just don't want to do it. It's possible that something similar to that is going on here.
00:41:03.820
In which case I would respect the hustle actually, but, but, but I'm probably being too
00:41:07.820
generous. Here's the, here's part of the letter authored by these three acts. They, they put this
00:41:13.580
letter out. They sent it to the Grammys, um, declining their nomination. And here's part of
00:41:18.580
what it said. It said, quote, unfortunately this year's slate of all white nominees, only one of
00:41:24.940
whom is female is not an aberration for children's music. In the past 10 years, only about 6% of
00:41:30.720
nominated acts have been black led or co-led. Another 8% or so have been non-black POC led.
00:41:38.240
Those are two separate categories now. Okay. And around 30% have been female led. These numbers
00:41:44.060
will be disappointing in any category, but in a genre whose performers are uniquely tasked with
00:41:49.020
modeling fairness, kindness, and inclusion in a country where more than half of all children are
00:41:53.960
non-white. And after a year of national reckoning around race and gender, the numbers are unacceptable.
00:41:59.920
Okay. Why are the numbers unacceptable? That's never explained. In all these years,
00:42:08.140
have there been non-white acts more deserving of the award on their own merits? I don't know.
00:42:16.160
Or is skin color now a merit in itself? That's basically what we're told every time there's a
00:42:22.280
controversy over, oh, there's, there's not enough, uh, of this particular ethnicity or race nominated for
00:42:27.160
this award. What you're saying is that just, just having that skin color, that ethnicity is a merit
00:42:33.540
and that alone should, uh, should, should warrant an award. That's what you're saying,
00:42:37.920
which isn't patronizing at all, of course, but the letter gets even better. They haven't debased
00:42:45.540
themselves enough simply by withdrawing and shame because they're white. They also feel the need to
00:42:50.240
apologize for ever allowing themselves to be considered for a nomination in the first place.
00:42:54.940
This is what they say, quote, we take full responsibility for putting ourselves in the
00:42:59.460
position we're in. So just, just stop. They're apologizing for being successful and apparently
00:43:06.100
good at what they do. That's how they put themselves in that position. It was just by being, you know,
00:43:11.660
a successful children's act and being good at it. So they're apologizing for that. I'm so sorry that
00:43:17.440
I was good at this. Please forgive me. They say, quote, we chose to submit and distribute our album
00:43:24.500
to voters. Even as we were aware of this category's past history of exclusion, we thought that this year
00:43:29.900
after recent national events, all the hard work of the family music forward racial justice collective
00:43:35.580
to bring attention to issues, the diversity, equity, and inclusion, our genre and changes within the
00:43:39.780
academy itself designed to reduce bias. We might see a different outcome. We didn't. And the results
00:43:44.700
are frankly an embarrassment for the field of children's music.
00:43:51.060
I agree that, you know, they are an embarrassment to the field of children's music, but not for the
00:43:56.600
reasons they seem to think. They're an embarrassment in general. And they are evidence that white guilt
00:44:01.800
has become a mental illness. Well, let's not make the mistake of assuming that this is all just
00:44:07.320
empty and cynical virtue signaling. I mean, it is that, but I believe it also reflects a real
00:44:12.700
authentic derangement. Now, white guilt seems to be almost a sort of body dysmorphia. I think that's
00:44:18.520
the category it belongs in. It's not naturally occurring. Babies aren't born with it. It's a
00:44:24.180
disease that is injected into the mind, instilled. It happens through conditioning. But the result is
00:44:29.860
that many white people in our country today, I'm not sure how many, but too many, really do hate
00:44:34.020
themselves. They believe that their skin color is some sort of ancestral curse. They believe that
00:44:39.500
they inherit guilt and sin along with their skin pigmentation, and they have to purge themselves
00:44:44.180
of the evil, atone, make amends, reparations. It's almost like it's strikingly similar to the
00:44:51.700
doctrine of original sin, but perverted and twisted around and racialized. I almost feel pity for the
00:44:59.560
people who suffer this mental affliction, but that pity is overwhelmed just by the contempt
00:45:04.900
I have for them. And that's why they're canceled. Alistair Moog, Dog on Fleas, and the Okie-Dokie
00:45:11.500
Brothers, all canceled. And that'll do it for today. Thanks for watching, everybody. Thanks for
