Today on the Matt Wall Show, Joe Biden declares that global warming is the greatest threat we
00:00:04.500
face. But didn't he just say that white supremacy is the greatest threat? Which is it? Democrats
00:00:07.960
keep cycling through different boogeymen and fear tactics. We'll discuss that. Also,
00:00:12.100
five headlines, including the rehabilitation of Jeffrey Toobin, featuring perhaps the most
00:00:17.140
cringe-inducing video of all time. No, not video of, not that video of him doing that,
00:00:22.260
but a different video. And a young girl speaks up against gender theory in school. We have that
00:00:26.720
video play. Plus, iHeartMedia puts out a job listing and declares that it wants, quote,
00:00:31.240
diverse applicants only. Read, not white. Isn't that completely illegal? Finally,
00:00:36.800
in our daily cancellation, we have the harrowing tale of Korean-Canadian sitcom stars who spent
00:00:40.760
five seasons on a show, and now that it's over, they say that they're being victimized by racism
00:00:45.340
the whole time. Hate it when that happens. That and much more today on the Matt Wall Show.
00:00:56.720
Whether he personally realizes it or not, Joe Biden is right now on a trip to Europe.
00:01:03.800
Mostly so far, he's bumbled and stumbled around, speaking half intelligibly,
00:01:07.540
allowing his wife to do much of the work for him. So not much different from his normal routine. But
00:01:11.440
one part of his remarks to a group of U.S. Air Force personnel in England has caught some attention.
00:01:16.300
He claimed that global warming is the greatest threat to the U.S. And more disturbingly,
00:01:22.360
he said that the Joint Chiefs told him so. Listen to that.
00:01:26.400
We must all commit to an ambitious climate action if we're going to prevent the worst impacts of
00:01:32.140
climate change limiting global warming to no more than 1.5 degrees Celsius. Lead the global
00:01:39.800
transition to clean energy technology. You know, when I went over in the tank in the Pentagon,
00:01:45.580
when I first was elected vice president with President Obama, the military sat us down
00:01:51.800
to let us know what the greatest threats facing America were, the greatest physical threats.
00:01:57.260
This is not a joke. You know what the Joint Chiefs told us the greatest threat facing America was?
00:02:04.160
Global warming. Because there'll be significant population movements,
00:02:10.440
fights over land, millions of people leaving places because they're literally sinking below the sea in
00:02:16.540
Indonesia because of the fights over what is arable land anymore.
00:02:22.120
Global warming, our greatest threat. Countries are sinking under the ocean. The ice caps are melting.
00:02:27.360
People are fighting with one another because they're so annoyed by how humid it is.
00:02:31.260
I guess we need our military to help fight climate change.
00:02:34.020
Maybe they can invent some sort of laser to destroy the sun and cool things down a bit.
00:02:38.540
Because ultimately, of course, the sun is what determines the weather and the temperature here on Earth.
00:02:43.880
You know, that the giant 900,000 mile diameter scorching ball of gas burning at 10,000 degrees in
00:02:50.260
which could fit a million Earths inside it. Yeah, that's the real culprit driving climate change,
00:02:54.900
not your SUV, you egomaniac. I'm not sure what the military plans to do about it.
00:03:00.360
If it's not the destroying the sun, I don't know what it is. But it's interesting to hear Joe Biden
00:03:04.220
call this the greatest threat we face. It was only a week or two ago that he made a very different
00:03:09.980
assessment. He had a very different take on our greatest threat.
00:03:14.520
As I said in my address at the joint session of Congress, according to the intelligence community,
00:03:20.040
terrorism from white supremacy is the most lethal threat to the homeland today. Not ISIS,
00:03:31.340
There's that applause again. Just love that applause. White supremacists are going to kill us all.
00:03:36.820
Amen. White supremacists. So which is it? Are we all going to drown or are we going to be killed
00:03:44.700
by roving gangs of Nazi Klansmen? I need to know, Joe, what's it going to be? Maybe it'll be both.
00:03:51.600
Maybe we'll be drowning and then the Nazi Klansmen will come up in their Nazi kayaks and finish the
00:03:56.020
job. I don't know. This could be a tag team situation between global warming and white supremacy.
00:03:59.840
Or perhaps white supremacy is causing climate change. That's how you thread the needle.
00:04:05.800
And if you think that white supremacy causes climate change is too stupid, even for the
00:04:10.740
modern day left, you haven't been paying attention. Here is Johnny on the spot here,
00:04:15.900
an article on the Sierra club.org titled racism is killing the planet. And it reads in part
00:04:22.620
during the street protests and marches, many people carried signs that read racism is killing us.
00:04:27.760
It's no exaggeration to say that racism and white supremacy harm all of us. Actually,
00:04:32.300
that is an exaggeration. But anyway, because in addition to robbing us of our humanity,
00:04:36.280
racism is also killing the planet we all share. An idea long overdue realization is growing in the
00:04:43.720
environmental movement. It goes something like this. We'll never stop climate change without
00:04:48.220
ending white supremacy. This argument has entered the outdoor recreation and conservation space thanks
00:04:53.980
to the leadership of black, indigenous and other people of color in the climate justice movement.
00:04:57.580
The pollution spewing global megacorporations that created Cancer Alley are just the latest
00:05:03.180
evolution of the extractive white settler mindset that cleared the forests and plowed the prairies.
00:05:08.740
And just as the settlers had to believe and tell stories to dehumanize the people they killed,
00:05:13.880
plundered and terrorized, today's systems of extraction can only work by dehumanizing people.
00:05:20.300
Okay, well that clears things up. It's the extractive white settler mindset that causes all the
00:05:26.160
problems. Come to think of it, I did hear the meteorologist on our local news here a few days
00:05:30.840
ago mention that. He said that there was a heat wave coming apparently because a high pressure system
00:05:34.800
had moved up from the Gulf and had combined with an extractive white settler mindset.
00:05:39.380
And now we can expect 90 degree temperatures through the weekend. Science is fascinating.
00:05:45.000
What's also fascinating is to see Democrats sort of cycle through one fear tactic,
00:05:51.120
one man-made panic after another. There is of course nothing new or especially interesting
00:05:56.780
about politicians using fear to manipulate, generally speaking. They've always done that.
00:06:02.240
Democrats certainly are not the only ones doing it now. But what makes this unique is just how many
00:06:07.740
panics they try to cause, just how unsafe they try to convince us we are, especially in comparison
00:06:14.000
with how safe and secure we actually are. I mean, in the past, politicians might pick one crisis,
00:06:21.800
one boogeyman, and try to wring that for all it's worth. But Democrats these days aren't satisfied
00:06:27.920
with one. They tell us that climate change is destroying the planet, sinking cities under the sea.
00:06:34.540
We have less than 10 years to live. They tell us that a white supremacist army is prowling about,
00:06:40.720
plotting and scheming, ready to strike at any time. They tell us that a rowdy group of trespassers in
00:06:45.820
the Capitol were actually militant insurrectionists who came close to overthrowing the U.S. government
00:06:50.680
by taking selfies at Nancy Pelosi's desk. They tell us that racism is an epidemic. It's killing
00:06:55.960
thousands in this country every year. They tell us that racist cops are literally hunting black people
00:07:01.320
in the street and murdering them for nothing every day. They tell us about a whole array of hate crime
00:07:06.720
epidemics, especially hate crimes targeting trans people. And we haven't even mentioned the fear
00:07:11.480
mongering that caused millions of people to spend a year locked in their homes with muzzles over their
00:07:16.420
faces. All of this, all at once. And I've only provided a partial list. So much fear.
00:07:25.020
All the time. Such a dark and dreary vision of the world that we get from the Democrats.
00:07:34.420
Meanwhile, back here in reality, life still contains its normal dangers and, you know,
00:07:38.940
we are still sure to die eventually of something. That's true. But for most of us,
00:07:44.000
day-to-day existence is safer than it's ever been. We are more physically secure than we've ever been.
00:07:50.420
Provided you survive the womb, of course, which is still a very dangerous place thanks to Planned
00:07:56.460
Parenthood. And not counting the physical risks to children that they might be drugged and mutilated
00:08:01.440
if they experience a little bit of gender confusion. Gender confusion that was implanted in their minds.
00:08:08.580
So there are threats out there. Serious ones. Some of them physical. Many of them psychological and
00:08:15.100
spiritual. But these Democrat politicians, they don't talk about any of that. In fact,
00:08:19.200
they are largely responsible for much of that. Instead, they want you to fear the things that
00:08:25.020
pose little danger to you. They want you constantly running from imaginary monsters.
00:08:32.600
And then the idea is you won't notice the real threats when they come. Now let's get to our five
00:08:40.460
headlines. Well, fortunately, we are getting a reprieve from some of the gift-giving holidays for a while.
00:08:52.940

00:10:07.400
you know, the cicadas we hear so much about, and it's been kind of a dud here in Tennessee for the
00:10:11.700
most part. I haven't seen very many cicadas. And I was thinking about this last night. Has anyone come up
00:10:19.280
with a good cicada-related conspiracy theory yet? Because do I need to work on that, or has someone
00:10:27.980
else done it? And I'm not saying what it should be, but it seems like someone by now would have
00:10:33.980
something. Maybe, you know, cicadas aren't real. It's a hologram. It's a distraction technique.
00:10:40.320
Maybe cicadas are tiny little government drones spying on us. We could work on it, but I really
00:10:49.020
think someone, we don't have long here, and we've got this once every 17-year event, and no one's come
00:10:56.960
up with a conspiracy theory for it yet. We got to get on that. Someone's got to do it. All right. So
00:11:02.700
this is really what we have to start with, I'm afraid. And it's not appropriate for children or for
00:11:07.600
anyone, frankly, but Jeffrey Toobin, CNN legal analyst, obviously, as you know, showed his tube
00:11:17.160
during a Zoom call with colleagues a few months ago. In fact, you know, he was, he didn't just show
00:11:24.120
it. He was, you know, handling the situation, so to speak, right there in front of everybody on the
00:11:30.740
Zoom call. And it really kind of rubbed everyone the wrong way, as you might imagine. And he was fired
00:11:35.360
for it, or not fired. You'd think that you would be fired for that. Masturbating, you know, workplace
00:11:43.060
masturbation, the kind of thing that you would think would get you fired, especially in the Me Too
00:11:47.480
era. Well, that's not what happened, because he's back now. He was back on CNN yesterday, and they,
00:11:54.960
for some reason, decided to, on TV, have a conversation about Toobin's masturbatory habits.
00:12:03.780
And they brought a woman in, Alison Camerata, to have this discussion. This is, I think, the most
00:12:11.040
cringe-inducing thing to ever air on cable news. I mean, it's, oh, I actually have not seen this
00:12:19.340
entire video yet, because I can't get past 15 seconds. It is so, the cringe is overwhelming.
00:12:25.060
It's nuclear-grade cringe. This is a cringe comet, an absolute volcano, an explosion of cringe.
00:12:33.000
I'm going to stop on that. I'm not going to go any further with that analogy. Anyway, let's try,
00:12:37.960
we're just going to try to watch this and see how far we can make it. Let's go ahead here.
00:12:44.180
In October, you were on a Zoom call with your colleagues from The New Yorker magazine.
00:12:50.800
Everyone took a break for several minutes, during which time you were caught masturbating on camera.
00:12:57.040
Okay, stop. Can you stop? I can't, I can't go any further.
00:13:04.000
Why are they doing this? And why is he sitting there? I'm asking why rhetorically. I know all
00:13:10.160
the answers to my question. But so, why is he sitting there, enduring this embarrassment?
00:13:17.800
I know he wants his job back and everything, but he's been, how old is this guy? He's probably in
00:13:21.500
his 60s now. He's been on TV a long time. Doesn't he have money saved up?
00:13:24.180
Well, how could you ever, how are you showing your face again? Imagine this guy walking through
00:13:31.740
the hallways of CNN. He ends up in a break room, grabbing a coffee with someone that was
00:13:37.360
on that Zoom call. Like, hey, uh, how you been? Why would you want to endure that? There's
00:13:44.740
no amount of money that could make that worth it. Go off into the, into the woods, grow your
00:13:52.260
beard out. You know, you, you can have all, you can do everything. You're out of sight,
00:13:57.300
do everything. Go ahead and do what you need to do out there and live out the rest of your
00:14:02.840
days. All right, let's, we're going to keep going. We're going to try to make it through
00:14:07.640
this. You were subsequently fired from that job after 27 years of working there. And you
00:14:14.220
since then have been on leave from CNN. Do I have all that right? Um, you got it all
00:14:18.920
right. Sad to say. Okay. So let's start there. Um, to quote Jay Leno, what the hell were you
00:14:26.280
thinking? Well, obviously, uh, I wasn't thinking very well or very much. And, um, it was something
00:14:32.840
that was inexplicable to me. I think one point, I wouldn't exactly say in my defense because
00:14:37.920
nothing is really in my defense. I didn't think I was on the call. I didn't think other people
00:14:43.780
could see me. You thought that you had turned off your camera? Correct. I thought that I had
00:14:48.920
turned off the Zoom call. Now that's not a defense. Oh, okay. Wait, stop it there. First
00:14:53.420
of all, inexplicable. His own masturbation was inexplicable to him. What is, what does that
00:15:01.420
even mean? He's looking down at himself going, what, what's going on right now? And then he
00:15:10.940
says, uh, he didn't know that his coworkers could see him. So what he's saying is, yeah,
00:15:16.660
I was, I was masturbating in front of my coworkers. I didn't, but I didn't know they could see
00:15:20.000
me and that makes it okay. All right. How long is this video? Let's just, let's just, let's
00:15:30.460
just make it through. Go ahead. This was deeply moronic and indefensible, but I mean, that, that
00:15:37.940
is part of that. That is part of the story. Um, and you know, I have spent the seven subsequent
00:15:45.000
months, miserable months in my life. I can certainly confess, um, trying to be a better
00:15:51.460
person. I'm miserable therapy. I didn't try and do some public service. I'm working in a food bank,
00:15:56.920
which I certainly am going to continue to do working on a new book about the Oklahoma city
00:16:01.180
bombing, but I am trying to become the kind of person that people can trust again.
00:16:08.100
Working in a food bank. I don't want this guy handling my food.
00:16:10.640
The people that are going to a food bank, they've had, they're having a hard enough time
00:16:16.280
and now they got a chronic public masturbator, which is serving their food. Oh man. The whole
00:16:25.000
thing is, is, uh, I don't even know what to say. Probably I've said too much as it is, but
00:16:31.880
let's, can we be clear about, about one thing? Okay. As CNN tries to, well, a couple of things
00:16:38.680
to be clear about. CNN is trying to re rehabilitate this guy because he's one of their own, right?
00:16:45.180
Um, this, they would never do this, right? If this wasn't someone that they had a personal
00:16:51.300
attachment to, they would never do this. Almost anybody else, their life is over for this.
00:16:58.220
Certainly you, you lose your job for that. Like this is take me too out of it. Take cancel
00:17:03.040
culture out of it. In any normal scenario, you take your pants off and do that in front
00:17:10.760
of coworkers. You're going to lose your job and you're not going to get it back. It doesn't
00:17:16.200
matter what era we're living in. It doesn't matter anything. You're going to lose your job
00:17:19.560
for that. But CNN is going to rehabilitate. Why is Louis CK is still persona non grata.
00:17:28.800
He's, he's still in exile from polite society. How do you justify that? If Jeffrey Toobin's
00:17:35.300
allowed to come, at least Louis CK got consent first before he did that.
00:17:45.460
But also another thing to be clear about is yes. And somehow this has been lost in the
00:17:51.660
whole conversation. He didn't know his camera was on. I, I believe that he didn't know the
00:17:57.000
camera was on. I think that much is clear, but he was on a zoom call in a work meeting
00:18:03.820
and he knew that. So he is doing that. His, his plan was to do that while watching this
00:18:15.440
meeting, right? He was, he was trying to do that during a meeting. That part was intentional.
00:18:24.000
The unintentional part was that the camera was on.
00:18:28.860
So I go back to how is that not a, a permanently fireable offense?
00:18:35.200
All right. Let's, let's, let's get away from this. We got to move on somehow, somehow, someway,
00:18:40.820
pick up the pieces and move on. All right. A little bit of a palate cleanser here. Here's another,
00:18:46.640
uh, we'll go to Ron DeSantis. Here's another episode of Ron DeSantis being right about something.
00:18:51.760
He was interviewed a few days ago by the daily caller. And, um, uh, I really liked what he had
00:18:58.140
to say here. I think we have the video clip. What advice would you give to American voters on how to
00:19:02.640
tell the difference between a politician who's going to use their vote or who's actually going
00:19:06.480
to fight the culture wars? Well, here's the thing on right to life. Uh, when I became governor,
00:19:10.760
I inherited the most liberal Supreme court in the United States. It was a four to three split by the
00:19:15.940
time I became governor. Uh, but I was able to replace three of the liberals to make it a six to
00:19:20.520
one court. And that's important because Florida had the worst abortion jurisdiction, uh, jurisprudence
00:19:27.340
in the, in the country, way worse than even things like Planned Parenthood versus Casey. You couldn't
00:19:32.480
even do parental notice. They would strike down almost anything, even with minors. It was, it was
00:19:37.100
crazy. So we've changed that. Now we've been able to advance pro-life legislation. Now, some of this
00:19:42.400
stuff is going to be, uh, going to be tested in our state courts, but I think those precedents are,
00:19:47.520
uh, going to be reevaluated. And so we have an opportunity to do even more, um, in the years to
00:19:52.800
head. And so, you know, I think it's something that is a fundamental issue. Uh, and I think here's
00:19:57.740
what I tell people in terms of right to life. It's important, obviously on its own, but the people
00:20:03.120
that, that aren't supportive of, of, of the life cause, they're not people you want to be in a foxhole
00:20:08.420
with on any other political battle as well. They're the first ones that will sell out to the DC
00:20:13.520
establishment when the going gets really, really tough. And he's got the black cowboy boots also
00:20:19.540
with the, with the, uh, with the suit, which is a bold choice. And I, and I like that. Not really
00:20:23.620
the point. The point is what he said there, which is exactly correct. This is another example,
00:20:28.640
another episode of Ron DeSantis saying something that's true. Also the kind of thing that every
00:20:32.540
Republican should be saying, though few of them do, because they just don't have, um, the, uh,
00:20:37.180
they, they, they either don't believe it or they don't have the guts to say it. And that's,
00:20:42.400
this is exactly right. And I myself have been preaching this forever. As you know, that the,
00:20:47.420
the life issue is one of the central battles, battlefields in the overall culture war. Um,
00:20:54.900
and you need, you need that, you need to engage in that fight. You can't surrender on that issue
00:21:01.340
because if you surrender on that issue, then you're surrendering on, you're surrendering on the
00:21:05.740
whole idea of, of life having inherent value. Or you give up on that and you say, whatever happens
00:21:12.360
with abortion, it's not important. Not only are you consigning 60 million more babies to, to death
00:21:19.320
and, and counting, but you're giving up on the idea that life has inherent value. And if life doesn't
00:21:25.860
have inherent value, then I don't know what, I don't know where you go from there. What other,
00:21:31.280
what other thing can you argue about and what do you base your arguments in? If not a belief in the
00:21:38.020
inherent dignity and value of human life, you can't go on to, you can't start talking about your,
00:21:44.120
your rights on any other issue. You can't say, yeah, I don't know if human life has any inherent
00:21:51.120
value or dignity. Uh, but our, our second amendment rights, those are really important. Why are they
00:21:56.600
important? If your life has no value, then who cares if you can protect your life or preserve it?
00:22:03.180
And what are, what are your, this right you're speaking of, where does it come from?
00:22:11.740
So that's exactly right. Um, as far as the issue itself, and also it is a good litmus test
00:22:19.080
and pro-lifers have always known this. You know, it's not that we think that abortion is the only
00:22:26.240
important issue. It's one of the most important, but we also know that it's a litmus test. And we
00:22:31.700
know that if we can't trust someone on that issue, we can't trust them to fight it and to be consistent,
00:22:36.580
then you can't trust them on anything else. Right. Another encouraging video we could play for you.
00:22:42.320
This is from Fox. It says a 14 year old in Virginia is speaking out about what she says is a
00:22:48.540
sexist move by the Loudoun County public schools to allow boys into girls' locker rooms. The policy
00:22:54.520
followed a previous, um, a previous one that committed the, the county to providing an equitable,
00:23:00.840
safe and inclusive working environment, regardless of sexual orientation or gender identity and other
00:23:05.320
individual characteristics. The more recent proposed policy states in a draft that students should be
00:23:11.100
allowed to use the facility that corresponds to their gender identity. Now we've seen a lot,
00:23:16.380
we've seen a lot of videos from school board meetings, especially Loudoun County where
00:23:20.560
they've, they've really been fighting this out, but I wanted to show you this. This is Jolene Grover
00:23:26.920
who got up and spoke and she's wearing a shirt that reads woman is female. So she is answering my
00:23:34.460
infamous question. What is a woman? She has an answer for it. And I like her answer.
00:23:39.180
I also like everything else she has to say here. Let's listen.
00:23:41.260
Two years ago, I was told policy 1040 was just an umbrella philosophy and you weren't going to allow
00:23:47.940
boys into the girls' locker rooms. But here you are doing just that. Everyone knows what a boy is,
00:23:54.440
even you. Your proposed policies are dangerous and rooted in sexism. When woke kids asked me if I was
00:24:00.200
a lesbian or a trans boy because I cut my hair short, it should tell you these modern identities are
00:24:05.440
superficial. My guidance counselor's response to my concerns about bathroom privacy and safety was,
00:24:10.980
well, there are stalls in the bathrooms. Now boys are reading erotica in the classrooms next to girls
00:24:16.220
and you want to give them access to girls' locker rooms and you want to force girls to call those
00:24:20.420
boys she. You do this in the name of inclusivity while ignoring the girls who will pay the price.
00:24:26.200
Your policies choose boys' wants over girls' needs.
00:24:29.060
And we'll look past the fact that she's being forced to wear a face mask there for no reason.
00:24:35.980
But here is, what do we say, 14-year-old girl, an eighth grader, and she is teaching these adults
00:24:43.440
about basic biological science. Now we need children to stand up and tell adults and speak
00:24:58.480
I go back to, again, why send your kid into an environment
00:25:03.000
where they're going to have to teach the teachers?
00:25:07.000
You're not even sending your kids into school to be taught anymore.
00:25:10.900
They have to be the ones doing the educating now.
00:25:26.480
something that's often pointed out by the left,
00:25:43.880
We don't hear it that often. Why don't we hear it?
00:25:49.800
Is it because none of them value their privacy?
00:26:12.100
And they shouldn't be put in this situation to begin with.
