Many people are very upset after Obama flouted every COID safety guideline to throw himself a giant birthday party over the weekend. But I think there are some important lessons we can take from this, which go beyond simple outrage, and I ll explain today. Also, some truly inspiring, not to mention hilarious, video of one old guy who has no time for the left's gender nonsense.
00:00:00.000Today on the Matt Wall Show, many people are very upset after Obama flouted every COVID safety guideline to throw himself a giant birthday party over the weekend.
00:00:07.560But I think there are some important lessons we can take from this, which go beyond simple outrage.
00:00:11.700And I'll explain today. Also, some truly inspiring, not to mention hilarious video of one old guy who has no time for the left's gender nonsense.
00:00:20.180You have to see this. I'll play that. And the media claims that children's hospitals are filling up with COVID patients.
00:00:25.300Is that even remotely true? Plus, a prison inmate gets 25 years for beating a child rapist to death in prison.
00:00:32.480If you already feel like that sentence is grossly unfair, wait until you hear the rest of the story.
00:00:37.660And then in our daily cancellation, I will confront Nike over its latest commercial, which you will not be able to watch without dying of secondhand embarrassment.
00:00:45.300All of that and much more today on the Matt Wall Show.
00:00:55.300We're very excited to have a new sponsor on the show today by Optimizers.
00:00:59.600One of the best things you can possibly do to improve your health is get at least seven hours of quality sleep every night.
00:01:06.860I rarely do, which is why I am decaying in front of your eyes.
00:01:11.260I know there are hundreds of reasons why you might not get enough sleep.
00:01:14.540I sleep. I've, as I said, been there myself.
00:01:16.840But one of the biggest reasons might be magnesium deficiency.
00:01:20.560And I'm always telling people this when they complain about not getting enough sleep.

00:02:11.780The first problem with Obama's raucous, opulent 60th birthday party this past weekend is that he's a grown man throwing a birthday party for himself.
00:02:20.600As I have long argued, nobody should have a birthday party between the ages of 16 and 100.
00:02:25.720Before that point and after, you may be excused for wanting your friends and family to celebrate you for simply living another year.
00:02:32.220But in between, your birthday party, such as it is, should consist of eating a piece of cake, opening a card with a $50 gift card to Chili's, and that's it.
00:02:42.960The whole ceremony should last no more than 25 minutes, and everybody can get back to their lives.
00:02:47.880That, anyway, is my approach to birthdays, but as mentioned, it certainly was not Obama's.
00:02:51.820The Daily Wire reports, quote, photos and videos were leaked from former President Barack Obama's 60th birthday party over the weekend,
00:02:58.720despite a photography ban that was implemented for those who were invited.
00:03:03.080Quote, celebrities, politicians, and a couple hundred other close friends and family members
00:03:06.640packed in to celebrate former President Barack Obama's 60th birthday Saturday
00:03:10.480in what was billed as a scaled-back bash amid rising concerns about the fast-spreading Delta variant of COVID,
00:07:03.000The standard is important people can do important people things.
00:07:08.260Unimportant people can make do with their cage.
00:07:12.380They're not going to come out and say that exactly, but they'll get pretty damn close to saying it if you pay attention.
00:07:17.140One other point, rather than wasting energy, getting mad at Obama and his ilk, I think it's better to emulate them, at least in one way.
00:07:34.240Do as they do, you know, live as they live.
00:07:37.720You might not have their financial means and hopefully you don't share their moral derangement or their belief that most of the world's population is subhuman and inferior to yourself.
00:07:46.540Hopefully you don't share that part, but you should follow their lead, at least in this respect.
00:07:50.980They clearly are not worried about COVID.
00:13:24.460Tiesa Meskes, a council woman, quote unquote, in the town of Aberdeen, stormed into the Sucher and Sons Star Wars shop and had words with owner Don Sucher on Wednesday over the handwritten message that he posted.
00:29:14.640What the heck happens in a bad flu season?
00:29:18.200We're not prepared for those realities at all.
00:29:23.600Dr. Eileen Marty says the number of cases in our hospitals and children, the number of cases in our hospitals, in children, and our children's hospitals are completely overwhelmed.
00:29:33.040Well, that sentence doesn't really make any sense at all.
00:29:34.560The numbers of cases in our hospitals, in children, and our children's hospitals are completely overwhelmed.
00:30:06.060We've never seen numbers like this before.
00:30:08.440Sharp rises in hospital admissions involving kids with COVID-19 have been recorded in other states, too, including Arkansas, which had its own record number of children Wednesday hospitalized with the virus.
00:30:15.780But this all comes from one doctor who says that the children's hospitals are overwhelmed with COVID cases.
00:30:28.260And it's important to note, she says, that they're overwhelmed with COVID because we do know, and I guess we're supposed to believe this is some kind of coincidence,
00:30:36.800there are other viruses and diseases among children that are spiking right now that send children to hospitals.
00:30:45.620RSV, for example, there was a headline on Time Magazine had a headline just a couple of weeks ago, July 22nd, saying why the respiratory disease RSV is having an off-season surge.
00:30:59.060And it's all about how this disease is surging.
00:31:01.360And we've had, of our four kids, two of them have had, end up in a hospital with RSV, especially with babies.
00:31:48.280And when the media reports that, that children's hospitals are allegedly overwhelmed, are they including that in the picture and not telling us?
00:31:58.420But we also have to keep in mind, we have one, one doctor in Florida who's gone on the record and said that children's hospitals specifically are overwhelmed from COVID, not from anything else.
00:32:12.100And she's the one doctor to say that in the state.
00:32:14.540We haven't heard from any others that have said that as far as I know.
00:32:18.520And that conflicts with everything we've seen in the data from the very beginning.
00:32:26.920Again, I think it's off the top of my head, the mortality rate in children from coronavirus, because there's been 41, you know, almost 42 million cases.
00:32:36.920And the number of children that have died is like three, you know, 300, less than 400 so far.
00:32:43.840And that means that point, I think it's 0.008% of children have died from COVID.
00:32:50.640Very, very sad when any child dies of anything.
00:32:53.420Very sad when anyone dies of anything, especially when it's a child.
00:32:57.980But that rate of death is extremely low.
00:33:38.840I want to tell you about this story because this is just remarkable in a lot of bad ways.
00:33:44.500This report is from KHQ in Washington, local news affiliate down there.
00:33:50.540It says, there's no question that Shane Goldsby assaulted and killed Robert Munger inside the Airway Heights Correctional Center.
00:33:57.100The question is, why were they assigned to live together in the same prison cell?
00:34:00.780Munger, a 70-year-old convicted child rapist, died after Goldsby hit Munger in the face and head around about 14 times, stomped on his head at least four times, and kicked a couple more times before walking away and being taken into custody by correction guards.
00:34:15.840Munger was convicted on multiple child molestation charges in 2019.
00:34:19.660He was sentenced to 43 years in prison.
00:34:22.640Sex offenders are considered marked men in state prisons nationwide, like in California, where sex offenders are killed in prison at a rate that is double the national average.
00:34:29.040What about the risk, though, when a sex offender is put in the same cell with their victim's older brother?
00:34:36.060Now, this is the part that is hard to believe, but this is what's being reported, and there are some sources for it.
00:34:43.380It says, Goldsby himself, also Cindy Elliott, who's the mother of Goldsby and also the mother of the child that was reportedly victimized by Munger,
00:34:53.740and an anonymous tipster said that Munger raped Goldsby's little sister, who is still a minor.
00:35:00.740The reporter says, I talked to Goldsby, who is currently in the jail facing a new charge, premeditated murder, and then he goes on.
00:35:08.060He talks about, he says, what he claims, and they've got apparently three sources, and this has now been reported by multiple media outlets,
00:35:13.540that Shane Goldsby was put in a prison cell with this Munger guy, and Munger, not only a serial child rapist, that we know for sure, convicted of that,
00:35:25.760but apparently, according to his reports, he actually raped Goldsby's little sister and told him about it.
00:35:34.080And Munger, the rapist, told Goldsby and started taunting him with details of his little sister's rape.
00:35:41.840And also, apparently, reportedly, Goldsby went to the prison officials, and he went through the process of trying to get transferred to a new cell,
00:35:51.360and they wouldn't transfer him, and finally, he says he just snapped and he had enough of it, and he beat the guy to death.
00:35:57.720And now he's getting 25 years in prison for that.
00:36:07.820This is sort of an easy case for me to adjudicate personally, because even without the detail of this guy raping Goldsby's little sister,
00:36:17.880even taking that aside, I wouldn't give him 25 years in prison.
00:36:22.520Even if he was just sort of generally angry and upset that this man is a serial child rapist,
00:36:29.800I'm not giving you 25 years in prison for that.
00:36:34.360I mean, if anything, I'm thinking about an early release because of that.
00:36:40.920And again, that is also not a joke. I actually, I kind of mean that sincerely.
00:36:44.480This is why, and if you don't like it, and you say, well, we can't have vigilante killings and stuff like that in prison.
00:36:50.260And you're right, from a reasonable perspective.
00:36:53.160You can't have that for the sake of the safety of everyone in the prison, not the child rapists,
00:37:00.660but everyone, including the prison guards.
00:37:02.300You can't just, you know, allow the inmates to kill each other willy-nilly in the prison yard.
00:37:07.400But if we're saying that child rapists are so heinous and such absolute monstrous scumbags
00:37:21.200that you can't even put them around other scumbags,
00:37:26.320you can't even put them around murderers and people that have done other horrible things but not that horrible.
00:37:31.340Like, even those people don't want to be around someone like that,
00:37:38.980then I think that tells us that this is the kind of crime where if you commit that,
00:37:43.200we should probably, rather than leaving the inmates to take care of it,
00:37:47.920probably the state should take care of it.
00:37:50.780You lock that person in a cell on death row, and then you take care of them that way.
00:37:57.000There should be, that should be an execution.
00:38:01.340I think that's a pretty good way to judge these things.
00:38:05.300If it's the kind of crime where we cannot put you in with general population
00:38:10.760because they would be so disgusted by you
00:38:13.140that they wouldn't be able to stop themselves from killing you,
00:38:17.020then probably, it might not work this way every time, depends on what the crime is,
00:38:20.780but that's a pretty good indication that you should be eligible for death row.
00:38:24.100It is crazy to me that even in states where we still have capital punishment,
00:38:33.060in no state that I'm aware of can you be executed for simply raping a child.
00:39:28.020The person who should be doing, if we're giving 25 years to anybody, it should be the prison officials responsible for putting this poor guy in a cell with the monster who raped his sister.
00:39:39.520That's the person we give 25 years to.
00:39:43.640For Shane Goldsby, you know, at worst, here's what I, at worst, if you feel like you have to do something, you give him a slap on the wrist.
00:40:08.280Says, Matt, leaving aside specific situations, I think you're making a strategic error in repeatedly urging people to unilaterally speak out.
00:40:15.000In the present environment, each person who unilaterally speaks out ends up being destroyed, losing their job, etc.
00:40:21.000Each such daily cancellation just serves as a powerful reminder to everybody else to shut up or face dire consequences.
00:40:29.000Your faulty advice is akin to having an army of millions of soldiers and then ordering them to line up and march out single file one by one, minute after minute into Gatling gun fire.
00:40:39.400Attacking in this way, the outcome is clear.
00:40:43.480Each of your soldiers gets killed one by one.
00:40:45.420And moreover, the residual soldiers still waiting in line wait in silent fear.
00:40:50.100What is necessary ultimately is coordinated protests slash responses such as boycotts and the imposition of large scale negative consequences on the other side when they cancel without valid reason.
00:40:59.580Until they face coordinated negative consequences, they have nothing to fear in firing away.
00:41:04.860Well, you raise plenty of good points, and I don't I don't think this has to be an either or proposition.
00:41:10.100I think coordinated campaigns are good.
00:41:19.640But but but also there's nothing that can replace just ordinary people living their everyday lives according to their principles and not being afraid to speak them and live according to them.
00:41:36.560Because if we're not going to do that.
00:41:38.480Then all the boycotts in the world won't mean a damn thing.
00:41:44.100And the other thing to remember here is you're saying, well, we don't want one one one one in a person.
00:41:49.060We don't want to send them in front of the firing line.
00:41:50.600Well, I get that, but I'm not talking about us all taking turns.
00:41:54.080I'm not saying that we each take turns and I say, well, today is my day to live according to convictions and to live like I have common sense and I understand basic truths about science and morality and so on.
00:42:16.940I mean, he put the sign out on his on his on his storefront.
00:42:21.460So he put himself out there a little bit.
00:42:25.420But other than that, you know, he's not he's as far as I know, he's not walking around in his daily life looking for confrontation, except for the little sign he put on his on his store, which is just a funny sign.
00:42:37.120But when someone came up to him and expected him to cower and back down and abandon common sense and truth and reason, he just said, no, I'm not going to.
00:43:06.220There is no coordinated effort that will replace that.
00:43:10.820Because, again, we can have all the boycotts in the world.
00:43:13.020But if we're all living in such a way that someone can come up to us in our personal lives and hector us into abandoning truth and reason, if that's what we're all going to do in our personal lives, the boycotts don't mean a damn thing.
00:45:50.480If I was 35 years old living at any other point in history prior to modern times, at this point in my life, I would probably have had at least one child who had died.
00:45:58.160Both my parents would be dead for sure by now.
00:46:01.040I would have seen plenty of death and destruction all around me.
00:46:06.140So, and that goes back to the fact that we all live this way, insulated from death.
00:46:11.140And then this thing intrudes into our lives and forces people to confront death.
00:46:15.080And that's where they become so afraid.
