00:00:00.000Today on the Matt Wall Show, Joe Biden makes the grotesquely absurd claim that white supremacy is the most lethal threat we face as a country.
00:00:07.620We'll analyze that claim and see if we can't identify at least a few other threats that are perhaps a bit more urgent.
00:00:13.540Also, five headlines including the woke mob randomly deciding that a certain actress is a racist Klan member.
00:00:19.320It's not true, but then again, this same actress supported BLM prior to this, so I'm not sure I have much sympathy for.
00:00:24.260And for a little change of pace, a Republican congresswoman says that someone came and sprayed offensive graffiti on her property.
00:00:31.600Usually it's people on the left saying these things are happening to them.
00:00:34.180Well, the left is skeptical of the claim for once. I wonder why.
00:00:37.440They had a tennis star says that it's too emotionally traumatizing to speak to the media.
00:00:41.620Plus, in our daily cancellation, we will cancel Kamala Harris again.
00:00:45.740Well-deserving once again. All of that and much more today on the Matt Wall Show.
00:01:24.260This is, needless to say, a seismic ideological shift.
00:01:28.600Perhaps the most massive flip-flop in political history, really.
00:01:31.940And yet, he's never been asked to explain it.
00:01:34.760In a change nearly as dramatic, Biden has also decided, lately, that America is systemically racist.
00:01:43.860Now, it's possible that he always believed this, but he certainly didn't talk about it nearly as much back then as he does now.
00:01:50.100The privileged white male Biden has been in the system himself, has been one of the guys running the system, actually, for these past four or five decades.
00:01:58.260Then he entered the 2020 primaries, even though there were several women and people of color already in the contest.
00:02:03.620By winning the primaries, he intentionally prevented all of those marginalized people from having their shot at the presidency.
00:02:11.960He did all of this while believing that America is a systemically racist hellhole where white supremacists prowl the streets and black people are regularly murdered by law enforcement simply for existing.
00:02:23.380Or else he only arrived at that conclusion after he'd already knocked out all of his minority competitors.
00:02:28.520Whatever the case, it's clear that Biden has undergone a remarkable evolution at this late stage of his life, or at least is pretending that he has.
00:02:38.720And this evolution continued on Tuesday when Biden visited Tulsa, Oklahoma, to commemorate the 1921 Tulsa race massacre.
00:02:44.820During his prepared remarks, Biden took time to bravely denounce the KKK.
00:02:50.840Takes a lot of courage these days to come out against the KKK, but he did.
00:02:55.700Now, it's interesting to note that he didn't say any of what you're about to hear when he was delivering the eulogy for his good friend, Senator Robert Byrd, who was a former Klan member and organizer.
00:03:06.580Didn't say that then, but he says it now. Here it is.
00:03:09.020If my memory is correct, there were 37 members of the House of Representatives who were open members of the Klan.
00:03:17.900There were five, if I'm not mistaken, could have been seven, I think it was five members of the United States Senate, open members of the Klan.
00:03:26.640Multiple governors were open members of the Klan.
00:03:30.880Most people didn't realize that a century ago, the Klan was founded just six years before the horrific destruction here in Tulsa.
00:03:40.520And one of the reasons why it was founded was because of guys like me who are Catholic.
00:03:50.460It wasn't about African-Americans then.
00:03:54.300It was about making sure that all those Polish and Irish and Italian and Eastern European Catholics who came to the United States after World War I would not pollute Christianity.
00:04:07.300The flames from those burning crosses torched every region, every region of the country.
00:04:17.940Millions of white Americans belonged to the Klan, and they weren't even embarrassed by it.
00:04:58.040The data shows young black entrepreneurs are just as capable of succeeding, given the chance, as white entrepreneurs are.
00:05:07.940But they don't have lawyers, they don't have, they don't have accountants, but they have great ideas.
00:05:15.640Does anyone doubt this whole nation would be better off from the investments those people make?
00:05:20.200And I promise you, that's why I set up the National Small Business Administration that's much broader, because they're going to get those loans.
00:05:34.680But all this clumsy pandering, I think, really pales in comparison to the claim that Biden made at another point in a speech about the current threats posed by white supremacists.
00:05:48.720As I said in my address at the joint session of Congress, according to the intelligence community, terrorism from white supremacy is the most lethal threat to the homeland today.
00:05:59.580Not ISIS, not Al-Qaeda, white supremacists.
00:06:04.680Some more oddly timed, we'll get to that claim in a second, but why are you applauding?
00:06:12.600Yeah, terrorism for white supremacy is a lethal threat.
00:06:35.960He says it's the most lethal threat, period.
00:06:39.660He is correct, at least, that we have heard similar claims from the, quote, intelligence community, and certainly his fellow Democrats and backers in the media echo this line or something close to it.
00:06:49.640White supremacy is the boogeyman or Bigfoot.
00:06:52.140It's the monster that we're constantly warned about, though we rarely actually see.
00:06:57.840We're told that white supremacists are lurking out there, not just a threat, but the greatest threat we face.
00:07:04.060Yet each day passes by and all of the violence that the day brings with it has nothing to do with white supremacy.
00:07:10.840Indeed, the majority of violent crime in this country isn't carried out by white people at all, let alone white supremacists.
00:07:20.940White people are vastly underrepresented in the category of violent crime, especially among murderers.
00:07:27.800If white supremacists are the greatest threat, where are they?
00:07:37.280Violence plagues our cities, most of it carried out by people who are not white, and therefore presumably not white supremacists.
00:07:44.480Even the scourge of anti-Asian violence that we hear so much about is predominantly an epidemic of racial minorities targeting another racial minority.
00:07:55.360I mean, you've seen the videos, maybe.
00:07:59.220Almost every single video we've seen of an Asian person being randomly assaulted in the street, it is a non-white person carrying out the assault.
00:14:16.080That makes it so much better if he did it on purpose.
00:14:21.840Yeah, because that's exactly what I would do if I was governor.
00:14:27.480Also, Ron DeSantis was interviewed by – I think this is the Federalist.
00:14:32.560And he had something to say that, you know, you probably hear a lot – you certainly hear a lot on Daily Wire shows and among some other conservatives.
00:14:39.500We don't hear this kind of thing from Republican politicians very often, especially prominent ones.
00:14:47.560Some of these battles of what the left is doing and wokeism, you know, it's effectively cultural Marxism.
00:14:54.560And so you can have, theoretically, a successful economy.
00:15:00.300But if the underpinnings of the culture are just being torn apart, I don't think that that's a society that's going to be very successful over the long term.
00:15:16.340You can't give up on the culture and then move over to some other issue, economics, and think that you're going to make any serious impact there.
00:15:28.160You know, taxes, economics, these kinds of things, they're important.
00:16:05.920Only among conservatives and Republicans do we have to even argue about whether we should be participating in the culture war to begin with.
00:16:28.280But among, on the right, we actually have to make this argument, and Ron DeSantis is making it, which is why Ron DeSantis, I think, is the, in terms of personal leaders, he has to be the future of the Republican Party.
00:16:41.100Donald Trump, if he cares about the movement, he would support Ron DeSantis, come out and endorse Ron DeSantis.
00:16:52.400That would be the move, if he cares about the movement.
00:16:56.040Not running himself as a 78-year-old man in 2024.
00:17:01.480And putting someone like Ron DeSantis on the back burner.
00:17:04.640All right, moving on to this, this is from The Daily Wire.
00:17:09.700It says, Ellie Kemper, best known as Erin Hannon on The Office.
00:17:20.920She came under fire Monday afternoon after a Twitter user revealed that she was once crowned the queen of love and beauty at a long-running Missouri debutante ball.
00:17:31.980The user's incorrect claim that the event is put on by the KKK quickly spread, resulting in dozens of headlines that are likely to damage the actress's career.
00:17:41.940Now known as the Fair St. Louis, local business leaders established the Veiled Profit Ball in 1878 to help the city compete with Chicago's rapidly expanding commercial dominance and as a PR effort against striking workers.
00:17:56.940Inspired by, I'm confused, I don't know, are you confused, too?
00:18:01.600Inspired by the Irish poem Leila Rook by Thomas More and the revelries of Mardi Gras, the group invented a mythic society centered around a character known as the Veiled Prophet of Karrasin.
00:18:14.660A mystic traveler who would select the worthiest beauty from among the daughters of the city's elite.
00:18:20.940Kemper would have been an obvious candidate.
00:18:22.460Before becoming an actress and starring in shows like the unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt, that's the show, okay, I couldn't remember.
00:18:29.140And films like Bridesmaids, Kemper grew up in one of the wealthiest families in Missouri, so on and so forth.
00:18:34.540Anyway, okay, so she was back in 1999 and she would have been, how old was she then?
00:21:25.400And the woke mob, if you're a white person, it doesn't really matter what side you're on.
00:21:34.220If you're a white person, they will take any opportunity they can to ruin you.
00:21:39.560And there's really, it's almost as though there's nothing personal about it.
00:21:44.880It's just, you're a white person, you're rich, you're quote-unquote privileged.
00:21:49.440If they're given an opening to take you down, they'll take it.
00:21:55.080And, of course, this in spite of the fact, and this is the point, this in spite of the fact that many members of that woke mob are also white.
00:22:03.800But they take part in this, they feed the beast until it turns around on them.
00:22:07.360And that's sort of what's happening with Ellie Kemper here, which is why what they're doing is wrong.
00:22:14.540It's based on a lie, but at the same time, do I have a lot of sympathy? No.
00:22:19.740Left-wing Hollywood actress offering your sacrifices to the BLM altar, and now you're being consumed.
00:22:29.520I don't, you know, I don't enjoy watching it, this kind of thing play out.
00:22:33.800You know, it's kind of like if someone's doing a YouTube stunt with live fireworks, and they blow off their hands in the process.
00:22:43.660I don't enjoy watching that. I don't enjoy the prospect of someone being maimed.
00:22:48.360Do I feel really sorry for them? Not really.
00:22:52.180Can I say, oh, they didn't deserve for this to happen?
00:22:56.300Well, no, I can't say that. I mean, they kind of did deserve it.
00:22:57.800They didn't deserve it, given that they were literally playing with fire.
00:23:04.500But still, I don't enjoy it, but it's what happens.
00:23:09.020Maybe eventually people will start to learn their lesson.
00:23:13.580You know, you can say all these things.
00:26:24.680Now, as I said, you could go on Twitter and go to her Twitter account, Nancy Mace's Twitter account.
00:26:33.880You could see where she originally posted these videos.
00:26:35.580And then you could look at the comments underneath.
00:26:39.200And it's like 90% from people on the left, including verified account, more accounts, more prominent people, outright accusing her of doing this herself and saying this is a hoax.
00:26:50.700And we know, of course, that if she was on the left, they would immediately accept it right away.
00:28:03.780Now, I will say, first of all, that in all cases like this, where someone is reporting that there has been graffiti or a note left or something like that, there should always be skepticism until proof is offered.
00:28:21.500And that's a good general policy with all things, to have skepticism until some sort of evidence or until you're given a real reason to believe it.
00:28:28.940There's no reason to believe it, by definition.
00:28:34.980Also, it is, I will say, and I did notice when I was watching the video, it's a curious that all of the graffiti is on concrete surfaces.
00:28:45.980She has painted white surfaces right there, and the vandals apparently decided only to vandalize the concrete surfaces where the stuff can be more easily washed off, and it's not a big deal, right, in terms of damages.
00:29:02.360And you would just think, if you're a vandal and you're doing this, and there's nice painted white surfaces, and you hate this person, and you're trying to vandalize their home, you'd think you'd probably spray paint on those surfaces?
00:30:43.900They'll look at the security camera footage.
00:30:46.560And I think we'll know the truth pretty quickly.
00:30:49.980The other thing is, you know, when it's someone on the left and they perpetrate a hoax, and the cops discover that it's a hoax, a lot of times they don't really tell us that.
00:30:59.500There was the case of Althea Bernstein, and I think that was in Milwaukee, I believe.
00:31:03.500And remember, she was the one who said she was a stoplight, and some racist white guys came up and set her on fire.
00:31:11.560And there, of course, there are security cameras all over the place, red light cameras, everything.
00:31:14.720She said it happened in the middle of a city.
00:31:15.920And the cops would have figured out almost right away that it was a hoax, but they didn't really tell us that.
00:31:22.960Or it took them a while to, and even then, they didn't say it was a hoax.
00:31:25.740They just said, oh, we never found any evidence of this.
00:31:28.620In this case, if it's a hoax, I think that there will be no hesitation to let us know.
00:31:55.680Of course, then you look at what happened in Tulsa, and we have images today of hundreds of World War I black veterans from World War I being rounded up and put into the equivalent of local concentration camps.
00:32:12.680It's a very harsh, difficult history that really is, I think, still prescient today when you think about we still have survivors from this.
00:32:22.720You know, the other reason this is an important story is because I think Americans, especially white Americans, but Americans in general, tend to be very good at forgetting history, but also tend to think that slavery was a very long time ago and that discrimination was a very long time ago.
00:32:40.740The reality is not, that's just not the case.
00:32:44.020Yeah, it's, it's, um, no, it's not about forgetting history.
00:32:50.560And this, by the way, of course, is, is a racist thing to say.
00:32:57.640Yes, she's a black woman making this accusation about white, white Americans in general, you know, white Americans always forgetting history.
00:33:03.700Obviously, race is reversed and all that.
00:33:06.060She would be, she would never be allowed on TV again if she says, if you can imagine a white, um, a white person on Fox News, a white woman on Fox News saying, you know, black Americans, they're, they're really good at forgetting history.
00:33:18.360Never be allowed on TV again if she says, but taking race is out of it.
00:33:25.960Um, now I, I think there is a problem in America of Americans being ignorant of history in general.
00:33:33.940And that's a, that is a, a, a, a function of the school system and of academia.
00:33:42.100It's not about people forgetting history.
00:34:54.620We're not, no, no one is, no one is forgetting that.
00:34:56.460And yet you, you continue along living your life because it was a bad thing that happened in history, but now we're living here in the present day.
00:35:07.620And so you have to, to live in that moment and keep moving forward.
00:35:15.420At what point, I guess, when we're, when we're constantly lectured as white Americans for supposedly forgetting all of the terrible things that white people have done in the past.
00:35:24.320As, as, as if there's not enough emphasis on that, really.
00:35:29.060It is, when we talk about American history, it's the main thing we emphasize now.
00:35:34.420It's at the point where it's like the only thing we're allowed to emphasize if we're talking about American history.
00:35:39.660Are the bad things that white people did.
00:35:42.800I guess what I would ask Mara Gay and anyone in her camp is, at what point is it enough acknowledgement?
00:35:50.480Would there ever be a point when you would say, okay, it's been acknowledged.
00:35:56.540Now we can continue living along in the present day.
00:36:01.980Is there ever a point where that will happen for you?
00:36:07.420I'm guessing your answer is probably no.
00:36:09.260All right, let's move on to now reading the YouTube comments.
00:38:19.040But no, the best sequel of all time is Godfather Part 2, which is also the best movie period of all time.
00:38:24.800And there's really no discussion to be had about that.
00:38:26.360And Chunky Monkey, good username, says, so Nickelodeon bans one of their best SpongeBob episodes titled Midlife Crustacean because it's not child friendly, but throws that garbage on Blue's Clues.
00:38:38.620Yeah, I don't know anything about that.
00:38:40.680And I'm not I'm not even sure if SpongeBob is still currently on the air.
00:38:43.960I don't let my kids watch it because I don't think it's appropriate for kids because it's vulgar.
00:38:47.740And the thing is, you know, when I was a kid and SpongeBob was a little bit after my after my time, but there were I can remember there were there were cartoon shows when I was a kid, like in the early 90s and mid 90s that weren't appropriate for for younger kids because they were kind of vulgar and weird, like Ren and Stimpy, for example.
00:39:09.040But you you knew that that's what those shows were.
00:39:12.580And so a lot of parents won't let their kids watch them.
00:39:14.340Now you're they're they're taking these totally innocuous shows for preschoolers.
00:39:23.260And it's and injecting these sort of things into those into those shows.
00:39:27.160So it's a really kind of a different ballgame.
00:39:30.060And finally, Jared says, Matt, you finally got a camera B angle and it only took you 655 shows.
00:39:56.400No, there are a lot of small business owners and even large business owners who listen to this show.
00:40:01.700And one thing I'm pretty sure I don't want to speak for you, but I think you probably didn't get into entrepreneurship and and the business world in order to deal with HR issues.
00:40:13.560It probably wasn't your the thing that really drove you.
00:40:17.720If it's not, that's why you need to look into Bambi.
00:40:21.600Bambi, you know, if you didn't start your business in order to worry about HR compliance, Bambi can take care of that for you.
00:40:26.420HR manager salaries aren't cheap, an average of $70,000 a year.
00:40:31.000On top of all the difficulty that comes with it, Bambi, spelled B-A-M-B-E, was created specifically for small businesses to solve this problem.
00:40:38.020You get a dedicated HR manager based in the United States who will craft HR policy, maintain your compliance, all for just $99 a month, while the average salary for an HR manager is $70,000 a year.
00:40:48.300You don't have to worry about that here.
00:40:50.580Your dedicated HR manager is available by phone, email, real-time chat from onboarding determinations.
00:40:55.700They customize your policies to fit your business.
00:42:15.800What's your advice to women in their 20s and 30s who feel like they have to pack it all in, who are stressed, who are like, feel like there's a clock ticking and that there's like a time shelf on their life?
00:42:26.500Sorry, can I just want to jump in here?
00:42:28.100And I know women love it when men interrupt, so please allow me to intercept this question.
00:42:33.060What would I say to women who feel like the clock is ticking and there's a time limit on their life?
00:42:37.320Well, I would say, yes, you're right about that.
00:42:43.300Even if you live a comparatively long life, it's still only a matter of a few decades.
00:42:46.660You can think back now to when you were a young child and it doesn't even feel that long ago because it wasn't.
00:42:52.800And soon you'll be old and dying in a hospital bed thinking back to this moment right now and it won't feel all that long ago because it isn't.
00:42:58.400Or else you'll die before you're old, maybe tomorrow or today or, you don't know, maybe you'll get into a car accident this weekend.
00:45:00.740She says, continue to believe that you can do whatever you want to do, but also know that you have a right to expect things like affordable childcare and paid family leave.
00:45:09.420And that you'll be seen in the full dimension of who you are.
00:45:13.720No, I hate to say it, but I think my answer was a lot better.
00:45:16.760This is why the world needs more mansplaining, I think.
00:45:19.040What we just heard there from Kamala Harris was it was a mind numbing mixture of falsehoods, cliches and vapid babbling.
00:45:27.040But we'll try our best to break it all down.
00:45:29.000She says that you should continue to believe that you can do whatever you want to do.
00:45:32.720No, you should not continue believing that.
00:45:35.640It's better if you never start believing that.
00:45:37.900You, in fact, cannot do whatever you want to do.
00:45:40.280It's probably true to say that the average person can't do almost any of the things they want to do.
00:45:44.120Or at least we could say that what you want and what is real will almost never line up perfectly because reality asserts itself over our fantasies.
00:45:59.720And it goes on being what it is no matter how much we wish it away.
00:46:04.620So one of the best things we can do is learn to accept reality on its own terms.
00:46:10.440It's better to think less about what we want.
00:46:13.100I'm not saying that we should never think about what we want or that we shouldn't want anything.
00:46:17.820What I'm saying is that we all of us, especially in modern society, we spend far too much too much time thinking about what we want and then experiencing the constant parade of disappointment when what we want fails to line up with what is.
00:46:33.480So maybe some of the energy spent on focusing on our wants could instead be used to contemplate different questions rather than what do I want?
00:46:52.860Now let's move on and think about some of those other questions, which are also very important.
00:46:56.480As for this idea that we have a right to expect, Harris says we, or women anyway, have a right to expect paid family leave and affordable childcare and to be seen in the full dimension of who they are.
00:47:11.480I'm not sure what that last bit means.
00:47:14.580Harris was just filling space, babbling incoherently.
00:47:16.480She reminded me of myself when I was trying to hit a word count in a book report in seventh grade, but I hadn't actually read the book in question.
00:47:25.540So you're just filling in words like, um, and in conclusion, the great Gatsby was trying to be seen in the full dimension of who he is.
00:47:37.040Yeah, it sounds like that means something.
00:47:38.860And by the way, I'm miming their writing with an actual pencil, kids.
00:47:42.300That's what we used to do back in the dark ages.
00:47:45.380Paid family leave and affordable childcare, on the other hand, are at least intelligible concepts.
00:47:49.180But what does it mean that you have a right to expect them?
00:47:53.340Putting aside the question of whether these are good policies, how can you have a right to expect them?
00:47:59.960Well, in a certain way, you do have a right to expect them or anything else.
00:48:03.800You can expect whatever you want to expect.
00:48:05.360You have a right in the sense that nobody can stop you from having expectations.
00:48:37.560Should you be focused all the time on your expectations, on your wants, on your desires?
00:48:43.080Or should you get down to the business of living and doing and making and building and striving and sweating and all of that?
00:48:49.120Now, to take the latter course, you have to let go of your stranglehold on your desires and dive down into the muck and grime of the real world.
00:48:59.220It's kind of like going from a warm bath to the ocean.
00:49:02.620The ocean is colder and darker and scarier and more volatile, but it's more magnificent.
