In our daily cancellation, we ask the question: Are master bedrooms racist? The answer might surprise you, but probably not. Plus, Andrew Cuomo is resigning, which conservatives are celebrating, but the left is celebrating too, which tells me that maybe this isn t the big win that we think it is.
00:00:00.000Today on the Matt Wall Show, as a concerned community member, I personally attended a Nashville School Board meeting yesterday to voice my opinion on the district's universal mask mandate.
00:00:08.680Many others were there on both sides of the issue. It was an illuminating experience, and I'll tell you about it, play some of the footage today.
00:00:14.960Also, Andrew Cuomo is resigning. Conservatives are celebrating. But the left is celebrating, too, which tells me that maybe this isn't the big win that we think it is.
00:00:23.300I'll explain. And Dr. Fauci has some thoughts on freedom. He's not a fan of it, apparently. No surprise there.
00:00:28.600Plus, in our daily cancellation, we ask the question, are master bedrooms racist?
00:00:34.300The answer might surprise you, but probably not. All of that and more today on the Matt Wall Show.
00:00:46.560You know, if you've been listening to this show for a while, you've probably heard me talk about my Helix mattress, which is, and I don't just say this because I'm paid to say it.
00:00:56.100I am paid to say it, but it also happens to be true that it's the most comfortable mattress I've ever slept on.
00:01:00.940But they have a new company that they just launched called Allform, and they're making premium, customizable sofas and chairs that are shipped right to your door.
00:01:09.880So what makes an Allform sofa really cool? For starters, it's the easiest way you can customize a sofa using premium materials at a fraction of the cost of traditional stores.
00:01:17.540You can pick your fabric, the sofa color, the color of the leg, sofa size, the shape to make sure that it's perfect for you and your home.
00:01:24.360I don't know if you know this, but generally, to get this kind of sofa normally is very, very expensive.
00:01:29.460But with Allform, the other great thing is you get to customize it, you get a very comfortable, very stylish sofa, and it's going to cost a fraction of where it would almost anywhere else.
00:01:39.940And you order it all online. It's very easy. They ship it right to your door, and I cannot recommend it enough.
00:01:46.500The sofas are just as comfortable as the mattress, and that's the highest recommendation I could possibly give.
00:01:51.400So, and Allform is offering 20% off all orders for our listeners at allform.com slash Walsh.
00:01:56.220So go there now. Again, it's allform.com slash Walsh.
00:02:00.380Just last week, our school board here in Nashville decided to instate a universal mask mandate for all students and all staff and anyone else who sets foot inside the building.
00:02:09.600On Monday, the board outlined the punishments that will be meted out to any child who dares to show his bare face on school grounds.
00:02:16.280Actually, there are many other offenses a student might commit beyond the indecent exposure of his nose and mouth.
00:02:22.820As the Tennessean reports, the offenses include, quote,
00:02:25.600refusing to wear a mask or maintain social distancing, leaving a designated area,
00:02:30.480or intentionally exchanging bodily fluids such as coughing or sneezing are considered violations of the district's protocols.
00:02:38.840Coughing and sneezing now count as misconduct.
00:02:41.840I'm sorry, not coughing and sneezing, only intentional coughing and sneezing.
00:02:47.080Intentional coughing and sneezing in the first degree with malice aforethought.
00:02:51.540That's what we're really worried about, you know.
00:02:53.940How do you distinguish between intentional coughing and sneezing and accidental coughing and sneezing?
00:03:00.300These details are not provided, which means that it'll be up to the schools to decide
00:03:04.380whether any particular incident of coughing qualifies as an infraction or not.
00:03:08.960And if it is an offense, the offender better not make a habit of it because the consequences can be quite dire.
00:03:15.200More from the Tennessean that says, students who violate the district's protocols could face discipline,
00:03:19.740including a student-teacher conference for the first offense.
00:09:58.800Look up Munchausen by proxy, because that's what this is.
00:10:01.840If you think I'm exaggerating, then how would you respond to a parent who forced his kid to wear a football helmet every day, all day, for fear of falling coconuts and meteors?
00:10:09.180Your kid is almost as likely to die of COVID as he is from a rock from the sky.
00:10:13.360And yet, if you saw that, you would say to that parent that he is abusive, that he is forcing his kid to participate in this utterly insane charade in order to satisfy his delusional, psychotic hypochondria.
00:10:25.480Now, do any of you know what sort of psychological damage we do to children by forcing them to cover their faces, teaching them that the air is toxic, that everyone around them is sick, depriving them of the ability to see each other's faces?
00:10:38.460Do you know what kind of damage that does?
00:24:44.300And speaking of his team, the media now has flipped to being very much anti-Cuomo, which is an interesting development in general because he is a Democrat.
00:24:53.820Also, it's hard to think of, immediately anyway, any recent example of someone crashing and burning like this, going from such highs to such lows politically in such a short amount of time.
00:25:08.340It was only a year ago that the media was almost literally singing his praises as choirs of angels singing praises for the Lord Almighty.
00:25:19.300I mean, that's almost what they were doing.
00:25:25.300He was being hailed as the greatest, most popular politician in the country a year ago, and now he's on his way out the door.
00:25:34.820Let's go back, and this is always fun to do, go back through memory lane, and just remember, here's a compilation that was put together by someone, not me, of the media extolling the virtues of Andrew Cuomo.
00:25:48.120And all of these clips are, again, not all that long ago.
00:26:29.260You spoke to National Guard troops today in a stirring speech that, if I wasn't listening carefully, I thought you were sending soldiers off to war.
00:26:38.040This has been a remarkable show of leadership by Governor Cuomo in recent days.
00:26:42.420He's providing hope, but not false hope.
00:26:45.000Governor Cuomo, I think, is one of the heroes on the front lines.
00:26:49.160With all of this adulation that you're getting for doing your job, are you thinking about running for president?
00:26:54.000Andrew Cuomo, who has a daily television show now and has become, in some ways, the shadow president.
00:27:00.240Maybe Trump is just a little bit mad that Governor Cuomo has become a kind of acting president.
00:27:04.860Dealing with hardship actually makes you stronger.
00:27:08.600That's what Governor Cuomo said earlier today.
00:27:10.700That's what I'm going to go teach my kids right now at home.
00:27:33.720Not because Andrew Cuomo was actually a disaster as a governor, and he was directly responsible for thousands of people dying, especially elderly people in nursing homes.
00:27:41.980That's not what made it weird to see the media singing his praises, because the media sings the praises of horrible Democrat politicians all the time.
00:27:48.980And who have overseen horrific disasters that have led to many people dying.
00:28:34.320If I had, if you'd asked me that question months ago when this thing first broke, the sexual harassment scandal, at the time I figured, well, they're doing this because they want to cover and distract from the nursing home scandal.
00:28:50.940Which they realize is the greater scandal.
00:28:53.200And, most importantly, it's a scandal that implicates more than just Governor Cuomo.
00:28:57.280Because many Democrat governors across the country did the exact same thing, including in Pennsylvania.
00:29:07.920They need to get him out of the picture for something to take the heat off of the nursing home thing because they don't want to talk about that.
00:29:12.840And so, they're using sexual harassment.
00:29:14.140But now, you know, months later, no one is really talking about the nursing home scandal anymore, unfortunately.
00:30:58.740Is that something we should be celebrating?
00:31:00.280There's a very good chance the person taking over will be a lot worse than Cuomo was and will do the bidding of the left much more than he did.
00:31:12.660And I was making this point yesterday on Twitter and I was told by several people that, oh, well, Kathy Hokule, she was endorsed by the NRA back in 20, I think it was like 2010.
00:31:25.540And so that means that she's a moderate Democrat.
00:31:31.340You think, you think that the media would be happy as they are about an actual moderate Democrat?
00:31:39.620Do you think that a moderate, that an actual moderate Democrat could even be the lieutenant governor of New York right now?
00:31:46.880Yeah, she was endorsed by the NRA like 10 years ago.
00:31:51.760Around the same time that Barack Obama was defending traditional marriage, let's never forget that he did that, not all that long ago.
00:32:00.180His first term in office, he was pro-traditional marriage.
00:32:03.300He was a defender of traditional marriage, his first term in office.
00:32:06.020So around that time, Kathy Hokule was, and I'm sure I'm saying her name incorrectly, doesn't matter.
00:32:11.740Kathy Hokule was being endorsed by the NRA.
00:32:14.440And then after becoming lieutenant governor, she turned around and pushed for gun control and publicly accused anyone who is a gun rights advocate of being a stooge of the NRA, too afraid of the NRA.
00:32:28.860So that's what the NRA got for their trouble for endorsing this woman.
00:32:32.260She just turned around and stabbed him right in the back.
00:32:36.440Okay, she took the shank out and shanked him right in the back when they weren't looking.
00:32:43.060That tells you a lot more about the NRA endorsing a New York Democrat than it does about the New York Democrat herself.
00:32:48.960But she is endorsed by Planned Paranoid, and I can guarantee you right now that she is going to be more ideological and more of a leftist than Andrew Cuomo was.
00:33:22.280And they're, and they, look, they play the game.
00:33:25.280I hate to say it, but it's true that the left and Democrats, they play the game at a different level from most conservatives and Republicans.
00:33:34.240Which is why many conservatives can't see this as anything but a great thing.
00:33:37.560Well, he's a Democrat, and he, something bad happened to him, it's a good thing.
00:33:41.440Democrats are playing at a different level, and they're thinking five steps ahead.
00:35:08.280That's more of a luxury that, you know, we don't have time for freedom right now.
00:35:12.400So, this is one of those things, you know, it's under normal circumstances when everyone is feeling quite safe and happy and there isn't something like COVID out there that the media is generating panic over.
00:35:30.740And increasingly, they're always generating panic about something.
00:35:33.820So, we don't really get these moments anymore.
00:35:35.360But in the past, almost everyone would say, would declare courageously and bravely that they care more about freedom than safety.
00:35:51.160And they'd paraphrase the founding fathers about how we should never exchange freedom for safety and so on and so forth.
00:35:58.920And probably even now, I don't know, this would be an interesting thing to poll, actually.
00:36:04.640But certainly before this, if you had done some sort of poll and asked Americans of all ideological stripes, what do you think, what is more important to you as an American, freedom or safety?
00:36:18.800I would bet you prior to 18 months ago, you'd get 99% saying, oh, of course, freedom is the most important thing.
00:36:26.360And there is such cognitive dissonance that even now, I bet you, you would get a clear majority saying freedom is the most important.
00:36:37.240But then when something comes along that actually jeopardizes your safety, potentially, even if only minimally, from a statistical standpoint, when that thing comes along, that's when the rubber meets the road.
00:36:57.060And it's time to find out, do you actually value freedom or not?
00:37:02.060And it turns out that most people don't.
00:39:20.520Still, I'd rather have lived through all of that than with my crack-headed mother and her boyfriend while eating paint off the walls because I was hungry,
00:39:26.700which gave me lead poisoning, or watching him almost kill her.
