00:00:00.000Today on The Matt Wall Show, Netflix employees stage a walkout in protest of Dave Chappelle's comedy special as the CEO of the company begins to cave as expected.
00:00:08.920Also, Jen Psaki has a good laugh over the supply chain crisis.
00:00:13.640Katie Couric complains about sexism in the news industry, and Texas passes a bill banning biological males from female sports, and the media reacts in predictable fashion to that.
00:00:22.540And is there systemic racism in the zookeeping community?
00:00:27.440We'll discuss that important issue and much more today on The Matt Wall Show.
00:00:39.300You know, as an increasing number of companies fall over themselves trying to appeal to the left like Netflix, wouldn't it be nice to find one that supports your values?
00:00:48.980Charity Mobile is the pro-life phone company.
00:00:51.520They partner with you to automatically support the pro-life, pro-family charity of your choice with 5% of your monthly plan price.
00:00:57.960And they've sent millions of dollars to charities so far.
00:01:01.280And so you are, just by signing up for Charity Mobile, you're helping to build a culture of life in America.
00:01:06.640And you're also getting a great service at the same time.
00:02:30.660The point is that it takes something truly, truly earth-shattering to attract and keep our attention.
00:02:35.800And a statement like, only women can give birth, is what qualifies in our day and age as truly earth-shattering.
00:02:41.720There's no sign of this story dying anytime soon either.
00:02:46.500As the media tells me, that today, trans and non-binary Netflix employees and their allies will be walking out of the job over at Netflix headquarters to protest Dave Chappelle's biologically correct observations.
00:02:59.000Now, if I were the CEO of Netflix, I would respond to the walkout by locking the doors behind them and immediately turning on the outdoor sprinklers.
00:03:08.820But the actual Netflix CEO, Ted Sarandos, doesn't quite have that in him.
00:03:14.180Now, in the early going, Sarandos did defend Chappelle and he took a stand for free speech, allegedly.
00:03:21.760And he earned some pats on the head and, you know, high fives from the right for this response.
00:03:27.740But I was a little bit more circumspect.
00:03:30.140Corporate America, especially big tech, is run by a gaggle of glutinous, timid slugs.
00:03:37.120I mean, they've all had their spines surgically removed so that they can contort into whatever shape is necessary.
00:03:44.480Is it really possible that one of them would actually stand up to this kind of pressure?
00:03:48.740Is it is it conceivable that one of these floppy, feeble little worms would have the strength and will to defend a man's right to make biologically accurate assertions at a comedy special?
00:04:02.780And I don't think we're seeing it here because right on cue, as the anti-science whack jobs walk out of their jobs, the CEO, Sarandos, is beginning to waver.
00:04:15.640It says, Netflix co-CEO Ted Sarandos backtracked over defending Dave Chappelle from the woke mob on Tuesday, claiming that he, quote, screwed up.
00:04:24.220Sarandos made the remark in an interview with The Wall Street Journal in response to Netflix's The Closer, which has been widely praised by many online and reviews,
00:04:31.520with audience scores reaching as high as 97% on the popular website Rotten Tomatoes.
00:04:36.100Chappelle triggered the far left with jokes about the trans community defending J.K. Rowling and going after the LGBT community
00:04:41.940for trying to cancel a rapper over a comment the rapper made.
00:05:59.020There's no neutral ground between the rational side and the side where a bunch of pink-haired weirdos are screaming about how men can give birth to if they want.
00:06:09.200They, the people on that side, they give you only two options.
00:06:12.460Reject them and everything they stand for or fall in line.
00:06:57.420Now, this past weekend, while the mob of hyenas were barking at me because I made a few basic common-sense points about paternity leave, as we've discussed,
00:07:07.740I posted one of my patented non-apologies to Twitter in the middle of all this.
00:07:43.020I'm not sorry at all, and I never will be.
00:07:45.060Anyway, while you're here, please subscribe to my podcast.
00:07:47.280So I like to do this whenever I'm the subject of outrage because I want the outraged masses to feel completely disregarded and trivialized by me.
00:07:58.640I also want them to know that I'm blatantly exploiting and profiting from their outrage, and I'm doing it openly and without apology.
00:08:05.560I believe that this is the only correct response in these situations.
00:08:13.220But I did hear from quite a few people on the right over the weekend who expressed disappointment in my approach and insisted that I'm being unchristian and unkind.
00:08:23.400They said that, you know, I can hold the line and stand up to the bullies without being such a jerk about it.
00:08:31.000Notably, none of the people who said this to me have ever actually had thousands of enraged psychopaths coming after them, calling for their job in their head.
00:14:09.680Just a question on the timing on the supply chain issues, actions that the president has taken.
00:14:17.360It was clear in March of 2020, when COVID hit, that the supply chains across the world have been disrupted.
00:14:24.180Even as the sort of work to fight back against COVID proceeded, people, it was crystal clear that things were not improving on supply chain.
00:14:32.660People couldn't get dishwashers and furniture and treadmills delivered on time, not to mention all sorts of other things.
