00:00:00.000 Today on the Matt Wall Show, one of the largest and oldest Confederate statues has come down in
00:00:04.760 Virginia, but it's what they plan to put in its place that really tells the story, I think.
00:00:09.840 The campaign to take down Confederate statues and monuments was never really about the Confederacy
00:00:14.520 or about slavery, as much as the mob insisted that it was. I'll explain what it was really
00:00:18.160 about today. Also, the State Department continues to issue stern verbal warnings to the Taliban
00:00:22.600 over their lack of inclusivity, and Larry Elder is physically attacked by a crazed leftist in
00:00:28.140 California who's wearing a monkey mask. Something tells me that this would be headline news if this
00:00:32.400 was a Democrat who was attacked, and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has made her scientific case for
00:00:37.780 why men can menstruate. We will hear her out. Maybe she makes a good case. We'll find out today on
00:00:43.880 the Matt Wall Show. Well, I'm always telling you about MyPillow, and you know by now that MyPillow,
00:00:57.020 hopefully, you know from experience, MyPillow has a passion to help everybody get the best sleep of
00:01:01.500 their lives. MyPillow didn't stop by simply creating the best pillow, though, a pillow that I, as we
00:01:06.300 have been on our travels and have stayed at serial killer motels and in warehouses, I unfortunately have
00:01:12.360 not had MyPillow, so I haven't been getting the best sleep of my life, but I miss it. And that's why
00:01:18.740 when I get home, I can't wait to get back to my MyPillow and our Giza Dream bedsheets. That's the latest

00:02:07.460 All right. As we continue our tour of who knows where, broadcasting live today from what appears to
00:02:13.600 maybe be my psychiatrist's office. I'm not sure. To start with, let me reiterate something that I
00:02:20.180 mentioned on the show yesterday. After months of waiting and buildup, the time has finally come,
00:02:25.940 the moment that all of the people of the earth have been waiting for, I think. The Sweet Baby
00:02:30.580 Gang t-shirts are finally on sale. Now, you can officially now show your pride in this movement
00:02:35.880 that we have built together. And even more important than that, I think, it gives you an opportunity
00:02:42.940 to give me your money. And that's really what any self-respecting cult is about at the end of the
00:02:48.980 day. Now, admittedly, after all of the waiting and anticipation, the rollout has been somewhat
00:02:56.220 anticlimactic. I mean, I don't even have the shirt myself because we're on the road. But it wouldn't
00:03:01.520 really be a Matt Wall show thing if it wasn't handled in a weird and anticlimactic way, when you
00:03:07.960 think about it. So I think it all works out in the end. So go get your shirt today. And you can go to
00:03:11.820 the YouTube video that maybe you're watching right now. If you're not, go to YouTube and click on the
00:03:16.620 link in the description. All right. From the good news of the shirts to the not so good news. You may
00:03:23.720 remember back when the mob first began its campaign to tear down every statue across the country that
00:03:31.120 it had deemed problematic. Well, maybe there wasn't one precisely definitive start date for that
00:03:37.260 campaign. There have been sort of bursts of statue toppling fervor here and there over the course of
00:03:43.040 recent years. But those kind of dwindled and died down and many of the statues remained. Only after George
00:03:50.220 Floyd's death was it decided that all of the bad statues had to come down, all of them everywhere in the
00:03:57.220 country. And if local authorities would not agree to take them down, then the mob said, well, we'll just do it
00:04:03.340 ourselves and we won't be arrested for it. And none of them ever were or very few of them were. But as this
00:04:09.600 was happening, I can recall even many conservatives claiming that it was not, as it appeared to be, a war on
00:04:18.420 American history or on American culture at all. This was merely about getting rid of all those pesky
00:04:25.420 Confederate monuments. That's all it was about, we were told. Many of those monuments had stood for over a
00:04:32.780 century. Most people weren't bothered by them for decades and decades. But now, right now, it has to
00:04:40.060 happen now, they all had to come down. And that was fine, we were assured. Those of us who said that
00:04:47.180 this will not stop with the Confederate monuments, that this is indeed a war on our history, that it
00:04:53.020 will continue because the mob has become emboldened, those of us who said that, we were shouted down as
00:04:58.900 conspiracy theorists and paranoids and racists. And again, even conservatives were in the crowd
00:05:03.660 shouting at us. But of course, we were proven right. The mob soon began making the very predictable
00:05:10.200 argument that, hey, almost all of our white historical heroes were racist by our standards today. Some of
00:05:17.780 them were slave owners or at least tacit endorsers of slavery. And so they have to come down as well.
00:05:24.900 Well, you know, why should we let the Jefferson monuments and Jefferson's name remain on school
00:05:31.900 buildings? He was a slave owner. He was racist. And next thing you know, statues of the founding
00:05:38.700 fathers come down. Schools are renamed. Columbus is canceled and on and on and on. And there is no
00:05:44.920 end in sight. Just recently, here's one of the most recent things. A school board in Ontario
00:05:49.800 literally burned books. This is not a metaphorical book burning, which we've seen a lot of that. This
00:05:56.000 is an actual book burning. And they called it a flame purification ceremony. That's what they called
00:06:05.160 it to get rid of books that were deemed offensive by Aboriginal people. And I say all this as a preamble
00:06:12.400 to the story that I'm going to talk about here. I say it to remind you that those on my side of this
00:06:17.920 issue were right. You know, we were exactly right. We told you what would happen. We told you where
00:06:25.220 the Confederate monument thing would lead. And we were right. So keep that in mind as we read from
00:06:30.880 this. This is from the Daily Wire. It says, the largest Confederate monument display in the United
00:06:34.380 States was removed from public view on Wednesday over a year after Governor Ralph Northam called for
00:06:38.920 its removal following the death of George Floyd. And we know that Governor Northam, who famously wore
00:06:45.560 blackface, he's very offensive. He's very concerned with anything that might be considered racially
00:06:51.140 offensive. The statue, a commemoration to Confederate General Robert E. Lee, was unveiled in the 1890s in
00:06:57.120 a field outside Richmond. The 21-foot statue features Lee in a horseback and sat atop a 40-foot granite
00:07:02.140 base. The whole monument was six stories tall. Governor Ralph Northam called for its removal last year,
00:07:07.400 saying that we could no longer honor a system that was based on the buying and selling of enslaved
00:07:11.720 people. He added, yes, the statue has been there for a long time, but it was wrong then and it was
00:07:16.840 wrong now. Well, wearing blackface was wrong then and it's wrong now too. Yet here you are, Northam.
00:07:25.160 And the move to try to take the statue down, that prompted a legal challenge and that went through
00:07:29.960 the courts and finally they decided to take it down. Now, I need to repeat a couple of points that I've
00:07:36.680 made before about these kinds of stories. The first is that for many decades, most people were able to
00:07:45.220 acknowledge that somebody like Robert E. Lee was a significant historical figure and worthy of
00:07:53.480 remembering. And they were able to view him within the context of his time. Yes, he fought for the South.
00:08:02.180 He fought for Virginia specifically. That's what he was fighting for. His home was in Virginia.
00:08:06.220 His family was in Virginia. He couldn't bring himself to take up his sword against his own
00:08:10.340 family, against his sons. He didn't favor secession, but he felt called to fight in any case because
00:08:15.860 that's the sense of duty that men of that time had on both sides. We may not understand a lot of this
00:08:24.020 now, but that was the context of the time. He wasn't racially enlightened by our standards today.
00:08:30.820 That's for sure. But then again, literally nobody on earth was. That doesn't excuse slavery. It doesn't
00:08:37.720 excuse any evil perpetrated by anyone against anybody else. But it does provide context.
00:08:44.360 These are all things that most people understood at one time. And that was a mark of healing. Okay,
00:08:52.820 that was a mark of progress from the time of the Civil War. The fact that we can't recognize that
00:08:59.400 context anymore, that we can't stand to even see the image of any man who fought on one side of that
00:09:06.340 conflict anymore is to me a sign of regression. It's not a sign of progress. Also, as I've also said
00:09:14.680 many times, no matter how you feel about the Confederate monuments, even if when viewing the issue in a
00:09:21.980 vacuum, you would prefer if they were taken down or were never erected in the first place. Even if
00:09:27.960 you don't like the monuments, even if you hate the monuments, you still should have opposed them being
00:09:32.980 taken down like this by this mob for these reasons right now. It's not good for any decision to be made
00:09:41.140 at the behest of a hysterical ideological mob. Otherwise, good decisions are not good if they're done at
00:09:48.820 metaphorical or real gunpoint. There could be good arguments for removing some of them.
00:09:55.120 But the argument that the mob was making, it doesn't matter what the good arguments could be,
00:10:01.140 the argument the mob was making and has made for taking down all of these statues and not just the
00:10:06.820 Confederate ones, is that we have to do it for George Floyd, number one, and also that America is
00:10:11.560 a racist country and we have to purge ourselves of that history and atone for it. That's why these
00:10:16.140 statues are coming down. There might be better possible reasons for some of them, but this is
00:10:21.760 the actual reason. This is why they're actually doing it. And if you support what they're doing,
00:10:27.500 then you are at least tacitly supporting the reason for doing it. Now, to further demonstrate
00:10:33.700 the point, the Robert E. Lee statue that they just took down, which by the way, it's also worth noting
00:10:39.040 was a priceless and quite impressive work of art, but they cut it into pieces and are just going to put
00:10:45.560 it in a warehouse somewhere. That's the other thing we hear is that we're just moving it to
00:10:51.160 a museum. Actually, in a lot of these cases, they're not moving them to museums. They're
00:10:54.520 destroying them. And that's what happened here. But that statue had a time capsule from 1890 hidden
00:11:01.800 in the base of it. And that time capsule is, and I don't think we know what was in it yet.
00:11:06.800 They haven't told us, but that time capsule is being removed and they're replacing it with a new
00:11:11.780 one. Here's NPR. It says, according to the governor's office, a group of historians, educators,
00:11:17.300 artists, and state officials work together to select nearly 40 submissions to be placed inside
00:11:21.640 the new time capsule. Some of the items include a photo of a black ballerina taken by a local
00:11:26.540 Richmond photographer in front of the statue, a kente cloth worn at the 400th commemoration of 1619,
00:11:32.460 a Black Lives Matter sticker, a stop Asian hate flyer, an LGBTQ pride pen, and an expired vial of
00:11:41.560 Pfizer's COVID-19 vaccine. This is what the statue toplers want, not just to get rid of the old
00:11:50.020 history, but to replace it with a new history, to rewrite the story. And these are the objects
00:11:55.080 they choose to encapsulate our time. They choose objects which tell a story of mostly imaginary
00:12:01.520 oppression and of fear. I think that's the main thing that people of the future, when they open
00:12:08.620 that time capsule, they're going to look at that and say, wow, these people were freaking wimps.
00:12:13.680 They were afraid of everything. They've decided nobody who came before us contributed anything
00:12:21.200 worth honoring. And this is what they contribute. See, this was never about the Civil War. It was never
00:12:27.840 about Confederacy or slavery. This was always about reshaping America in their own image.
00:12:33.200 And they've largely succeeded. So that time capsule, as much as I hate to say it, really does
00:12:38.260 encapsulate our period. And at least now, archaeologists of the future, when they open it,
00:12:44.360 will have little trouble pinpointing exactly when everything started to fall to pieces.
00:12:50.040 Now let's get to our five headlines.
00:12:58.500 The one thing I love talking to people about is magnesium. And that's what the people in the world
00:13:04.460 are discussing, in my experience anyway. Magnesium breakthrough by BiOptimizer specifically. This is
00:13:11.100 what will help you get a nice, long night's sleep. If you're having trouble falling asleep or staying
00:13:16.160 asleep, one of the best things you could possibly do is start getting enough magnesium, as I always
00:13:21.180 say. But please don't run to the store and buy the first magnesium supplement that you find. Most
00:13:25.120 magnesium supplements use only the two cheapest synthetic forms. Not all magnesium supplements are
00:13:30.160 created equal. And since they're not full spectrum, those other ones, they won't fix your magnesium
00:13:35.140 deficiency or help you sleep better. So you're wasting your time and your money. There are actually
00:13:38.900 seven unique forms of magnesium, and you have to get all of them if you want to experience its calming,
00:13:43.700 sleep enhancing effects. That's why I recommend magnesium breakthrough by BiOptimizer. Simply
00:13:49.760 take two capsules before you go to bed and you'll be amazed by how much better you sleep. For an

00:14:19.380 And this thing with the female sports analysts is still going on. Usually it's a day when I've gone
00:14:26.300 through this with the angry internet mob. Normally it's 24 hours and they move on. Usually it's like 12 to
00:14:34.320 24 hours. That's kind of the expiration date on most of the online outrage. Um, this one is every
00:14:41.380 once in a while you get to like a 48 hour, 36 to 48 hour. I think we're going to, this might,
00:14:45.820 this might go 48 hours. This might be a 48 hour outrage because they're still coming after me.
00:14:52.320 And it's every single female sports analyst in the country has to get their dunk in. Like they all
00:15:00.220 have to, it's like one at a time. Uh, they all have to say their piece about it. And, and what I'll say
00:15:07.400 is, um, not going to get into the whole thing again, but after having listened to all these people
00:15:17.380 and having thousands of emotional women scream at me for the past two days, I actually have
00:15:25.080 re-evaluated my original position and I've come to the conclusion that, um, I'm even more right than
00:15:31.280 I originally thought. That's what I've realized from all of this. So I thank you. I thank the
00:15:36.040 outrage mob for that. All right. We'll start with this. Secretary of State Blinken in Germany yesterday
00:15:41.600 scolded the Taliban for their lack of inclusivity. Every time they do this, the bureaucrats in charge
00:15:46.500 of our government, they get ruthlessly mocked and deservedly so, but that doesn't stop them.
00:15:51.340 Um, they don't realize that they're being laughed at because they're in their bubble. So here he is
00:15:55.620 at a press conference in Germany talking about the, uh, very disappointed that the Taliban is not
00:16:01.160 inclusive enough. Yesterday, the Taliban named a new interim government. We're assessing the
00:16:08.040 announcement, but despite professing that a new government would be inclusive, the announced list
00:16:13.420 of names consists exclusively of individuals who are members of the Taliban or their close associates
00:16:18.160 and no women. We're also concerned by the affiliations and track records of some of those individuals
00:16:25.400 with regard to the composition of this, uh, government or, or interim government. Um, I noted, uh, the
00:16:32.400 fact that it certainly does not meet the test of inclusivity, um, and it includes, uh, people
00:16:41.080 who, um, who, um, have, uh, very challenging track records. Our engagement with the Taliban and with, uh, uh, a
00:16:53.200 government, uh, interim or, uh, or long-term will be for purposes of advancing, uh, the national interest. Uh,
00:17:01.040 advancing our interests, the interests of, uh, of our, of our partners. Uh, we have and we will find ways to engage, uh,
00:17:09.080 uh, the Taliban to engage, uh, uh, uh, an interim government, uh, a future government, uh, to do
00:17:14.880 just that and to do it, uh, in ways that are fully consistent with, uh, with our laws.
00:17:20.660 I forgot about the challenging track record bit. That's my favorite part, actually. I thought the
00:17:25.460 inclusivity part was my favorite, but no, it's, it's, the Taliban has a challenging track record.
00:17:30.320 Well, that is, that's one way to put it. That might be a useful euphemism that people can, maybe,
00:17:36.560 or, you know, your daughter could use that. She comes home, brings home a, you know, ex-con
00:17:41.220 murderer that she's dating. Oh, what's, what's, what's, what's his background? Oh, he has a,
00:17:47.680 he has a, he has a challenging track record. But, you know, Secretary of State Blinken, he is,
00:17:54.420 he's not angry. He's disappointed. He's disappointed in the Taliban for not being more inclusive. And I'm
00:18:01.460 sure the Taliban is sitting, you know, they're sitting in their, in their, uh, caves. Well,
00:18:04.520 they used to be in caves. Now they're in their palaces that they took over and they're sitting
00:18:08.820 there and, uh, they're, they're talking to each other. They're saying, you know,
00:18:12.420 I thought we had the right idea with all of this, uh, jihad stuff and depressing women,
00:18:20.440 stoning people to death, stoning women to death for showing their faces. I thought we had, but if,
00:18:23.860 if, if Secretary of State Blinken is disappointed in us, then I think we need to,
00:18:28.020 I think it might be time to reevaluate some things. I'm sure the Taliban is saying that.
00:18:32.920 All right. Next, uh, Larry Elder, of course, running for governor of California,
00:18:37.880 was walking through Los Angeles yesterday. And here's something that if you follow conservative
00:18:43.960 media, you've probably already seen this. If you don't follow it, then you haven't seen this,
00:18:49.360 but you certainly would. What you're about to, we'll play the clip. What you're about to see here,
00:18:53.300 just imagine any non-white Democrat experiencing exactly what we're going to see with Larry Elder.
00:19:04.700 And it would be nonstop news across the country headlines for two weeks easily. Here it is.
00:19:11.360 Might've been hard to tell what was going on there. If you weren't watching the video,
00:19:34.440 uh, that was, uh, a leftist woman in a gorilla mask running up and throwing an egg at Larry Elder.
00:19:44.240 And she missed, you know, frankly, she was throwing like a girl and she did miss,
00:19:49.240 but then his security goes up and she's getting in the securities guy's face. Say, do something.
00:19:55.920 Say prompt saying that he, that, that she would, uh, I think her words were F him up.
00:20:00.400 Um, this little tiny scrawny. And that's, that's always frustrating when you see these videos
00:20:05.460 that these Antifa wusses all get away with that. Um, because the security guy, no, and I assume that
00:20:14.100 was security. He, he knows that if he responds at all, even though at that point, I mean, he's being
00:20:18.540 physically assaulted now by this woman. If he responds at all physically, then he's going to be
00:20:22.960 the one who ends up in jail. This is California after all. Now, as I said, there's, there's no question
00:20:29.380 at all that if this happened to a black Democrat or any non-white Democrat, uh, this would be
00:20:37.320 headline news to two weeks. I mean, it'd be like the only thing you heard about.
00:20:43.340 Um, and there's no doubt about that. Now, a lot of people on the right are pointing that out and
00:20:48.660 pointing it out for good reason. And you're also hearing that, uh, this is, this is racist. This
00:20:53.700 is racism towards Larry Elder. Uh, I mean, I'm, I'm fine with that accusation or, or that, uh,
00:21:03.120 interpretation of the events, because if it was reversed, that's what everybody would be saying.
00:21:06.840 So that's fair enough. But I will say in reality, I don't think it actually is racism exactly.
00:21:16.140 Uh, I think there was a racist message she was trying to send. I mean, why else would she be
00:21:20.400 dressed like that? But, um, does she hate Larry Elder because he's black? Probably not.
00:21:33.040 I mean, if he was the exact same guy, exact same skin color, and he was singing the tune that she,
00:21:39.500 that she prefers, uh, you know, and he, and he had the BLM t-shirt and he was saying trans,
00:21:45.060 black trans lives matter or something. And he's wearing a t-shirt that said that then, uh,
00:21:48.820 then she wouldn't have done that. I think what it is more so than racism, this is just that people
00:21:57.040 on that side, especially the radicals, Antifa and everything, they just don't recognize the
00:22:03.700 humanity of anybody who disagrees with them. So if you disagree with them, if you have a
00:22:09.700 worldview that differs from their own, then all bets are off.
00:22:13.960 They can be racist towards you. They can be sexist towards you. They can do anything and kill
00:22:19.560 you. I mean, they can do whatever they want because you're not a person anymore,
00:22:23.680 no matter what your race is. Uh, and that applies regardless of race. So that, that's what this
00:22:31.200 is actually, that doesn't make it better. It's just as bad, but that's, what's actually happening
00:22:38.480 here. It's not, it's not so much, Oh, we hate Larry Elder because he's a black man. It's,
00:22:45.360 he disagrees with us. So he's a piece of garbage and worthless. And so we can treat him however we
00:22:50.460 want. And this is how we're going to treat him. If his, if his race contributes at all to the
00:22:56.680 treatment, um, and it might, it's because people on the left feel that if you're black,
00:23:03.960 then they, then they own you, you, you, you owe something to them. And if you disagree with them,
00:23:10.880 especially if you're running for governor of California as a Republican, how dare you?
00:23:14.520 Then, um, not only do they hate you for your worldview, but also on top of it,
00:23:19.380 they consider you a traitor to them. All right. We had the clip yesterday of AOC referring to
00:23:25.560 menstruating people right after calling them women. She was on CNN. She was kind of fluctuating
00:23:30.360 between the two. She couldn't really figure out how to, how to navigate this. Well, later that
00:23:35.960 afternoon, she was reacting to the media reports about her, you know, saying menstruating people.
00:23:41.780 And this is what she, she tweeted. She said in response to a daily mail headline, the headline
00:23:46.660 was AOC calls women menstruating people while explaining the female body. Uh, AOC says not just
00:23:52.780 women, trans men and non-binary people can also menstruate. Some women also don't menstruate for
00:23:58.740 many reasons, including surviving cancer that require a hysterectomy. GOP mad at this or protect
00:24:03.720 are protecting the patriarchal idea that women are most valuable as uterus holders. And then she
00:24:10.440 continues trans two spirit and non-binary people have always existed and will always exist. People
00:24:17.040 can stay mad about that if they want, or they can grow up. Uh, okay. First of all, this thing they do
00:24:26.300 where they, where they, where they, you know, bring up women who can't menstruate, women who can't have
00:24:30.100 babies. Yeah. Yeah. We know about that. That has, that has nothing to do with anything.
00:24:37.280 Nobody ever claimed that only, that, that all women can conceive children and give birth.
00:24:44.360 Nobody ever said that. The claim AOC is that only women can conceive children within themselves and
00:24:53.740 give birth. Only women can bear children. Not that every woman can, certainly not that every woman does,
00:25:00.120 but that only women can. Which means if someone is bearing children, if someone is pregnant, then you
00:25:07.400 know 100% of the time that's a woman. That's the claim that we're making. As far as this idea that
00:25:15.040 trans two spirit and non-binary people have always existed, will always exist. That's a historical
00:25:20.540 nonsense. Uh, it's, it's simply not true at all. Um, two spirit is what the left will claim is that two
00:25:29.480 spirit is the, the native American conception of, of transgenderism, which it isn't. I mean, this was
00:25:36.980 something that was mostly invented. This two spirit thing was mostly invented by, um, the LGBT lobby.
00:25:43.180 Trans people existing in other cultures throughout history is just not true. Okay. You, you may be able
00:25:50.600 to find them. You can find examples throughout history. You can find examples in the world today
00:25:55.240 and other cultures of, um, of cultures that have gender roles that are different from our own, you know,
00:26:03.280 cultures that have slightly different ideas about what men are supposed to do and what women are supposed
00:26:09.200 to do. You can also find examples, especially in the world today, across the world of men in, in, in some
00:26:15.300 cultures, um, dressing and acting like the women in those cultures. You can find cross dressers
00:26:23.900 across the world. You can find them throughout history. That's certainly the case. Nobody ever denied that.
00:26:29.440 What you won't find in history or anywhere outside of modern Western culture is the idea that a man can
00:26:41.540 literally actually be a woman. You might, you might find men acting as women, dressing as women. You might
00:26:50.800 find that, but you're not going to find this idea that a man actually is one in reality.
00:26:58.240 That is a uniquely modern and Western conception. It doesn't exist anywhere else.
00:27:07.080 And it didn't even exist here until very recently. This is actually the, you know, trans women are
00:27:14.220 women. This is the most recent evolution or devolution of the, um, of transgender ideology.
00:27:21.420 Because you may remember for, you know, for many years, we heard about this. I can remember even
00:27:29.920 when I was growing up, uh, we heard about gender and sex and how these are two different things. And
00:27:35.620 someone can have a, uh, a, you know, a male sex, but they identify more with the, with the female
00:27:40.680 gender or the, or the woman gender. So these are two separate and distinct things.
00:27:45.200 It's only been in the last few years that that distinction has been collapsed again.
00:27:51.840 And now we're being told by the same people who told us that there was this distinction. Now
00:27:55.020 they're saying, no, no, they're, they're the same thing. Really. I mean, sex is, is, is fluid and
00:27:59.680 subjective. So is gender. It's all the same thing. And if you sit down and you ask them, you say, okay,
00:28:03.560 what's the difference now? Like, what do we need? What do you even mean anymore? When you're talking
00:28:06.960 about gender and sex? Why do we, why do we need both terms? They'll have no answer. They have no
00:28:12.420 coherent answer for that. So it's, it's not even enough to say that this is unique to our culture.
00:28:19.400 It's like, it's unique to the last few years in our culture. That's how recent and new and, uh,
00:28:25.380 also insane it is. All right. Howard Stern had some thoughts about people who don't get vaccinated.
00:28:31.480 In fact, he was on his show. He started by laughing and mocking the, uh, a few conservative
00:28:37.580 radio hosts who were said they didn't want to get vaccinated. And then they, then they died of
00:28:41.980 coronavirus. And that's happened a few times. And Howard Stern thinks that's hilarious. He had a
00:28:47.580 lot of fun with that. I mean, these are people, you know, just normal people who died. They had
00:28:50.720 families and kids. Howard Stern thought it was hilarious. And then he starts talking about in
00:28:54.480 general, people who don't want to get vaccinated. And this, this was his, uh, his thoughts about it.
00:28:58.860 I'll tell you what, as far as I remember, when I went to school, you had to get a measles vaccine.
00:29:04.960 You had to get a mumps vaccine. You had to get, it was a ton of them. You got,
00:29:08.960 in order to go to school, you have to have certain vaccines. When are we going to stop putting up with
00:29:14.840 the idiots in this country and just say, you know, it's mandatory to get vaccinated.
00:29:19.580 F*** them, f*** their freedom. I want my freedom to live. I want to get out of the house already.
00:29:24.120 I want to go to next door and play chess. You remember when Howard Stern was,
00:29:29.200 you know, counterculture, rebellious, edgy. And this is what he is now. This is, this is the
00:29:37.840 problem. Stick around too long on the scene. I mean, he's in, what is he in his seventies now?
00:29:44.040 Should have retired years ago. Now he's this cranky old man complaining because he wants to leave his
00:29:50.260 house and play chess and take pictures. Go ahead and do that. No one's stopping you, Howard. Go ahead.
00:29:55.920 Leave, leave your house. Who said you can't? You're vaccinated.
00:30:01.140 Whoever you want to play chess with, I'm assuming, I mean, you, you, I'm assuming you don't comport with
00:30:05.540 the unclean, unvaccinated type. So they're vaccinated. Put on your mat, put on five masks,
00:30:11.600 go to your friend's house and play chess. If you want to have him wear five masks too.
00:30:15.400 No one's stopping you from doing that. It's this rich old guy hiding in his home,
00:30:25.320 trembling in fear because people who are far away from him are not vaccinated,
00:30:30.860 pose no threat to him whatsoever. But this, this, uh, statement of F your freedoms,
00:30:39.960 Howard Stern's not the first one to say that we've been hearing that more and more.
00:30:43.380 That is a, that is a very startling development in a country. When you have people, especially in
00:30:52.500 America, it was built on this idea of freedom. And we always thought, you know, I've talked in
00:30:57.680 the past about what, what is it as, as Americans, we, we, we say we're the United States of America.
00:31:02.980 What is it that unites us anymore? How are we one people or one country? What, what unifying thing
00:31:08.660 is there aside from geography? And even the geography isn't very unifying anymore because
00:31:13.040 we've erased the border. So those are indistinct as well. So what is it aside from the fact that we
00:31:17.400 all basically live in the same kind of region of the globe? Uh, what, what holds us all together?
00:31:24.640 What do we have in common as Americans? And I've been saying for years, there's really nothing,
00:31:29.660 but the one answer that I've always gotten from, from people is that, uh, well, we all,
00:31:36.560 we all believe in freedom. That's what we have in common. Now, even if that was true, I'm not sure
00:31:42.640 that it's enough to make a real country, a real people, you know, but it's not true. It hasn't been
00:31:49.380 true for a while. And now they're being open about it. They're saying F your freedom, F your freedom.
00:31:55.460 I want to feel safer. I will gladly trade your freedom for my safety and not even for my safety,
00:32:06.500 but for my feeling of safety. Because Howard Stern's safety is not at all being jeopardized
00:32:14.700 by any unvaccinated person living in his bubble in his rich neighborhood where everybody is vaccinated.
00:32:20.120 So what he's saying, and he's not the only one is I will, I'll take your freedom away just so I can
00:32:28.820 feel better. It's bad enough when we've got many Americans who feel that way. And it's been like
00:32:35.640 that for, for years. But now that they're saying it, F your freedom, that's a bad sign. Nothing good
00:32:41.840 that we don't go anywhere. You know, there's nothing good comes from that. There is no happy
00:32:48.760 ending that begins with F your freedoms. All right. Another clip that I've had that I've wanted to play
00:32:55.660 for a couple of days. There's been a lot of this kind of thing in response to the flooding that
00:32:59.260 happened in New York City. But here's one example. Eric Adams, mayoral candidate, blaming the floods on
00:33:06.080 the human race, and especially on America, uniquely for screwing up the planet. Here he is.
00:33:12.300 I'm curious what needs to change in your mind to prepare New York City for the next storm. And can
00:33:17.960 you guarantee that it'll get done on time?
00:33:22.060 No, you can't. And what's going to prepare us is honesty. Let's be clear. We screwed up our planet.
00:33:28.280 And this is the byproduct of that screw up. And we have to be honest about how do we move our country
00:33:35.140 and our cities in the right direction. And it's not going to be done by the next storm. We're not
00:33:40.940 going to build out our entire sewer systems. We're not going to do what Cobra Hagen did overnight.
00:33:46.820 We need to be honest. If 300 years or 100 years ago, we were receiving storms of this magnitude,
00:33:52.820 we would have built differently. Now we're here. And now it's time to visit all of these countries
00:33:58.460 across the globe that made the adjustments. We must do the same. Something that we can do within the
00:34:05.060 short period of time, like building retaining pools inside our parks now. And then we have
00:34:10.720 long-term plans. As we build out our sewer system, we can't build it out based on the previous
00:34:17.040 rainfalls. We have to build it out based on monsoons. And if we're not honest about this
00:34:21.480 conversation, we're going to lose more lives and we're going to see a greater level of property damage
00:34:26.120 in our city.
00:34:27.740 To be clear, he's talking about what policies can be put in place to stop the rain.
00:34:32.220 Okay. This is like a, he might as well start doing a rain dance. This, this is what he's
00:34:37.000 talking about. What policies can be put in place, even just in New York City, to stop it from raining?
00:34:44.160 At least as much as, as it did, as it has.
00:34:48.740 Meanwhile, the mainstream media is trumpeting a report that says one in three Americans have
00:34:53.220 lived through a weather disaster this summer. This, this report got a lot of attention a few
00:34:56.860 days ago. One in three Americans have lived through a weather, a weather disaster, quote,
00:35:01.120 unquote, this summer. And that's the highest number in forever. And it's a more, more proof
00:35:06.620 that we're headed, heading towards the end times. They tell us. Now you hear that and you think,
00:35:11.040 well, okay, how do you define weather disaster? And also doesn't that speak more to the places
00:35:19.180 that Americans want to live and tend to congregate? Doesn't that factor into this?
00:35:29.240 I will, I will say, as I've said before about climate change, um, first of all,
00:35:35.020 you know, most of the people who are panicking over climate change have no sense. We talk about
00:35:42.580 historical context. Well, well, when we're discussing global patterns, the historical
00:35:49.100 context has to go much farther back than the 19th century. You got to go back millions of years.
00:35:56.940 And so when Eric Adams says, well, we've never had storms like this in New York, uh, I'm not
00:36:03.680 convinced that that's true. Even just looking at the last few decades, but if we look at that region
00:36:08.860 of the planet and extend the scope of our search over hundreds and thousands of years, how can you
00:36:16.400 even make that statement? The climate has changed dramatically. It goes in dramatic cycles over the
00:36:24.460 course of thousands and millions of years. It's hard for us to see it that way. It's hard for us to
00:36:29.780 really place ourselves within, within a timeline that stretches for millions and billions of years.
00:36:35.140 But when you're talking about the climate, you have to do that. You have to take that into
00:36:40.340 account. You have to take into account the natural cycles of the globe. Uh, and this is one of the
00:36:48.820 reasons why I'm sorry. I don't, I don't care about climate change. I just don't care about it.
00:36:55.200 And the only difference between me and most Americans, uh, even a lot of the Americans who
00:37:01.220 pretend to care about it is just, I'm saying it out loud. It's pretty clear that almost nobody,
00:37:07.500 despite all the hectoring from AOC and Eric Adams and everybody else, Al Gore, it's pretty clear that
00:37:13.160 no one actually cares about it. Even the people who are doing the hectoring famously, they get on
00:37:20.560 private jets. They live in big houses. They keep their lights on. They're making like no sacrifices at
00:37:26.840 all. They claim to believe that if we don't make serious sacrifices right now, the whole world could
00:37:31.920 actually end within a decade or, or, or a few or, or at best the earth lingers on, but we have destroyed
00:37:42.160 civilization for our children, our grandchildren. That's what they're saying. And they make no changes
00:37:46.400 to their lives. Now that doesn't mean just because you notice that someone isn't living according to
00:37:54.480 the beliefs that they profess, it doesn't mean that the beliefs are wrong.
00:38:00.900 But when you see that it's, that, that it's this widespread and ubiquitous, that almost all of the
00:38:07.980 people pretending to care about this clearly in their own lives don't, that's when you start to
00:38:12.620 suspect. You start to suspect that there's something going on here. So I'll say it out loud. I don't,
00:38:19.440 I, I don't care. I intuitively, it doesn't make sense to me that the American government in the year
00:38:27.800 2021 could pass some kind of policy that is going to significantly change the cycles of the earth and
00:38:35.760 of the climate and weather. But even if it's true, which I really don't buy, but even if it is,
00:38:44.880 according to everything we're hearing from these people, we're doomed anyway. Like we would all have
00:38:49.180 to stop using electricity and, and basically embrace a return to the stone age right now.
00:38:56.040 And not just here, but across the globe in order to make any kind of dent. And that's not going to
00:39:02.900 happen. So either, you know, there's, there's really nothing we can do to change the weather
00:39:10.840 or, um, there's something we can do, but we're not doing it and no one is going to do it.
00:39:19.060 And what that leads me to is let's continue to live our lives. There are a lot of things to worry
00:39:23.780 about a lot of things to be afraid of. We don't need to put this on the list. You know, the thing
00:39:27.780 about living in Biden's America is that, uh, when he, on the rare occasion, he actually gives a press
00:39:32.840 conference. It'd be very difficult to understand what he's saying. And that's, if you're, if that's,
00:39:37.060 if your hearing is perfect, um, it could be difficult to understand, but imagine if you have
00:39:40.920 hearing loss, uh, how much more difficult it must be to even understand what our president is trying
00:39:45.560 to tell us. And that's why you've got to check out MD hearing aid. MD hearing aid is an FDA
00:39:50.080 registered rechargeable hearing aid that costs a fraction of what typical hearing aid
00:39:53.760 costs. The average price of a hearing aid in America is over $2,400 a pair, but their Volt
00:39:59.240 Plus model is just $300 each. When you buy a pair, MD hearing aid was found by an ENT surgeon who
00:40:04.800 saw how many of his patients needed hearing aids, but couldn't afford them. He made it his mission
00:40:08.700 to develop a quality hearing aid that can, that anybody can afford their sleek design fits so well.
00:40:14.080 No one will even know that you're wearing it. Plus it's rechargeable with battery life that lasts
00:40:17.480 up to 30 hours. If you forget to take your hearing aids off in the shower, uh, which is a big
00:40:22.440 problem for people that have hearing aids, nothing to worry about there. The Volt Plus
00:40:25.780 is water resistant in up to three feet of water. You don't even need a prescription or a doctor's
00:40:30.560 appointment. You buy it directly from them with audiologists and licensed hearing specialists
00:40:34.160 available seven days a week. MD hearing aid, uh, has brought affordable hearing to over 600,000
00:40:40.120 satisfied customers. If you want to be one of those, here's what you have to do. It's time
00:40:43.380 to reclaim your life from hearing loss. Go to mdhearingaid.com and use promo code Walsh to buy
00:40:47.960 there to get their buy one, get one, uh, $300 each offer. Plus they're adding a free extra

00:41:08.440 All right, let's go now to read the YouTube comments. Uh, Bo says based on the room Matt's in,
00:41:13.780 I can only assume Matt's, uh, Ben is punishing him for having to judge the SBG anthem. Well,
00:41:19.940 I was in a warehouse yesterday. That is true. I was tied in a chair in a warehouse. Uh, Stank
00:41:25.380 Williams says, is this the Matt Walsh show? Is this the Matt Walsh show the latest iteration of
00:41:29.860 the Saw movie series? Run, Matt, run while you can. Uh, Pedaggery says the secret to Matt's odd
00:41:36.980 locations he's been doing his videos from is that he's actually looking for a good place to set up his
00:41:41.420 SBG cult. Now that's a good theory. Um, and Ben says, I'm glad to see they're finally inching Matt
00:41:47.860 back into the car where he belongs. And yo mama's boo says Matt looks like he's broadcasting from the
00:41:53.980 Taliban's basement. Do caves have basements? That was a question. But yes, we have been broadcasting
00:41:57.740 from a variety of random and sometimes bizarre places. And yes, it's true that we provided no
00:42:01.760 explanation for any of this. Um, all I can say is that one day it will all make sense in due time.
00:42:09.040 Have faith. Have faith. My sweet babies have faith. Um, all right. Staff Sergeant Sullivan says
00:42:16.960 43 minute show returning to Matt Walsh dark days of 2019. It was, it was one of the shortest shows
00:42:22.460 that I've, that I've done in a long time. I promise that today I'm going to continue babbling for at
00:42:27.820 least several minutes more. Uh, Sloopy says, Matt, you are the code of silence breaker and I'm more and
00:42:33.640 more thankful for it every day. Thank you. Also as a woman football fan, I agree wholeheartedly with you.
00:42:38.640 I have never liked women sideline reporters, interviewers, analysts for football. It irks
00:42:43.380 me. Also thanks. Thank you to the daily wire for finally providing SBG merch. We're not content
00:42:49.300 with only t-shirts. We want mugs. Yeah. I would like to have a whole, I mean, we're starting to
00:42:53.080 call it after all. So we're gonna need a lot of supplies, not just t-shirts. Um, yeah, Sloopy,
00:42:57.180 you're, you're far from the only woman who has told me that you agree with the female analysts
00:43:02.420 and reporters. I mean, that's, that's the irony of this whole thing that, yeah, there's been a lot
00:43:07.440 of female reporters have been screaming at me about this, but, but many of the messages that
00:43:11.800 I've gotten saying, Hey, you know, I actually agree with you have been from women. So go figure.
00:43:15.700 And Sloopy also, I got to give you credit because I know that you are, you, you, you had the very
00:43:21.880 first, although your, uh, SBG anthem wasn't in the competition, you had the very first one that we
00:43:29.160 played on the show. And so that is a distinction that I think, uh, will hopefully give your life
00:43:35.360 meaning for the rest of your days. Well, as we mentioned at the start of the show, we finally
00:43:40.140 have our sweet baby gang shirt. So you can be a member of the gang or the cult, however you want
00:43:44.960 to look at it. They're selling out so fast, uh, that you don't want to wait. If you've waited this
00:43:49.320 long, don't wait anymore. Uh, you want to click the link in the description to get your order today.
00:43:54.460 I'm also being instructed in this copy to start singing the SBG anthem, which will never happen.
00:43:59.920 And my sweet babies know that I would never sing. Plus we haven't, we haven't named the,
00:44:03.940 the anthem yet officially. So I can't do that. Um, but the shirt is a masterpiece and it is,
00:44:10.060 uh, something that will, I think brighten your day when you wake up in the morning and put it on.

00:45:11.540 Today we have someone who at this point is kind of a dark horse candidate to become the most canceled
00:45:16.640 person on the Matt Wall show. And that would be Demi Lovato. The thing about Demi Lovato is that
00:45:21.660 I know she's a singer, but I couldn't name one song she's made. If I heard a Demi Lovato song,
00:45:27.020 if I actually heard one, I couldn't tell you that it was her singing. She's no Pooh Shiesty,
00:45:31.200 I guess you could say. I'm not an expert in her catalog the way that I am for my guy Pooh.
00:45:37.600 When Lovato appears in a cancellation, therefore, it's always because of comments she's made outside
00:45:42.060 of her music. And as far as that goes, she's been on kind of a desperate journey in recent years to
00:45:46.940 discover herself and find an identity that is true and real and that will bring her the most media
00:45:53.540 attention. And that's what's driven her to come out as a lesbian and then bisexual and then pansexual
00:45:58.960 and then non-binary. I think that's the trajectory. So when I saw her name back in the headlines,
00:46:04.720 you know, I thought this process was continuing and now she was coming out as, I don't know,
00:46:08.100 a gay, disabled, polyamorous, aboriginal trans man or trans man or something. I don't know.
00:46:13.920 But that's not quite what she was up to. Here's the Daily Wire. It says,
00:46:16.580 singer and LGBT activist Demi Lovato encouraged followers to be a slut and make their own porn
00:46:22.420 in a post to social media promoting prostitution, which was euphemistically described as sex work.
00:46:27.160 The former Disney star posted an image to her Instagram stories Monday, which told followers
00:46:31.320 to be a slut, show your body, get naked, have all the safe, different, consensual sex you want,
00:46:36.680 be kinky, masturbate, make slash watch porn, make money. Just a reminder that being sexual is okay.
00:46:44.140 Okay. Now, the first problem here is that this all seems to be based on Lovato's assumption
00:46:52.500 that her audience needs to be encouraged to act like sluts. The whole so-called sex positivity
00:46:59.700 movement revolves around the notion that people are repressed and ashamed of their sexuality in
00:47:05.640 our culture and they need a little nudge, a little inspiration, right? So they can go out and be their
00:47:11.200 true whorish selves. But in a country where porn is a billion dollar industry and suburban soccer moms
00:47:18.060 have their own OnlyFan pages and we fly flags on our embassies to celebrate sexuality and people bring
00:47:26.280 their children to libraries to be read stories to buy, you know, for drag queen story hour.
00:47:32.340 Given all of that, I don't think that there's much evidence of the sort of sexual shyness that people
00:47:37.980 like Demi Lovato are trying to cure. Then again, I mean, we're also told that we need a body positivity
00:47:43.700 movement in order to encourage fat people, even though most of the country is obese already.
00:47:49.160 We're told that diet culture is a problem, even as we gorge on fast food, double cheeseburgers.
00:47:54.820 I mean, we live in a country where KFC Taco Bell hybrid drive-thrus exist and people actually go and
00:48:02.060 eat there and Mountain Dew exists and people actually drink it. And yet we hear about diet culture being
00:48:07.780 the problem. So there's, there's kind of a disconnect is what I'm saying. But the more important point is
00:48:12.760 this. Lovato, like so many pop stars, is a miserable and lonely person. She's also a heroin addict. Now, I don't
00:48:23.960 say that as a cheap shot or to insult her. That's not the point. I just say it because it's true.
00:48:29.560 She's an addict in an identity crisis who can't even figure out who she is. There is pretty clearly
00:48:36.900 a deep misery at the core of this person. And this is the case, again, for so many of these celebrities.
00:48:45.660 And yet these people still promote lifestyles that they know from experience lead only to misery and
00:48:52.820 despair and self-destruction. That's the first thing you can do when you hear someone promoting a certain
00:48:59.420 lifestyle or promoting, you know, a certain philosophy of life or promoting any behavior at all and,
00:49:06.680 and claiming that it will lead you to happiness and fulfillment. First thing you should do is look
00:49:11.280 at them. Who is telling you this? Do they appear to be happy and well-adjusted and fulfilled people?
00:49:20.080 Every person who stands on a stage or sings a song or posts a message to their millions of followers on
00:49:26.860 Instagram, encouraging people, encouraging even the millions of kids in their audience as well to
00:49:31.360 objectify themselves, to prostitute themselves. Every person who does this knows that it's not a
00:49:40.480 path to happiness or fulfillment. They all know it from experience. And this is what makes the lie
00:49:47.260 so great and so sinister. That it's being told by people who fell for it themselves and experienced the
00:49:54.620 consequences and now want other people to experience those same consequences too. It's, it's like if
00:50:00.720 somebody, you know, was standing on a cliff and they saw water below and they, and they thought that
00:50:05.460 the water was deep enough. So they jumped into the water and then they discovered that it's actually too
00:50:10.180 shallow and they broke their legs. And rather than warning people who are still standing on the cliff
00:50:15.360 and saying, no, don't do it. I just broke my legs. Don't make the mistake I did. Instead,
00:50:19.660 they shot up. Yeah, come on down. The water's great. I guess this might be a long way of saying
00:50:25.660 that misery loves company, but I think there's more to it. Actually, misery convinces itself
00:50:30.720 that company is the cure, that if other people make the same miserable decisions, that somehow by
00:50:38.000 majority vote, all of the misery will magically turn into joy. These empty people think that if they
00:50:45.840 can convince you to join them in their emptiness, then perhaps, you know, you'll all be full again,
00:50:51.540 but it doesn't work. It can never work. The pursuit is fruitless, not to mention unbelievably selfish.
00:51:00.680 And that is why today Demi Lovato is, again, I'm afraid to say, canceled. And we'll leave it there
00:51:06.540 for today. Thanks for watching. Thanks for listening. Have a great day. Godspeed.
