Glenn Youngkin pulled a stunning victory last night, and we ll talk about the lessons that can be learned from it. Also, the mother of the boy who raped a girl in Loudoun County has finally spoken out. Her comments are revealing, but perhaps not in the way she intends. Plus, the Kyle Rittenhouse trial kicks off. We ll discuss that. And finally, is it cruel and callous for parents to kick their adult children out of their homes and force them to live on their own? That s what many people seem to think.
00:00:00.000Today on the Matt Wall Show, Republican Glenn Youngkin pulled out a stunning victory last night.
00:00:03.600We'll talk about the lessons that can be learned from it, and we'll revel in the hilarious media meltdown that happened today as well.
00:00:08.540Also, the mother of the boy who raped a girl in Loudoun County has finally spoken out.
00:00:12.160Her comments are revealing, but perhaps not in the way she intends.
00:00:15.000Plus, the Kyle Rittenhouse trial kicks off. We'll discuss that.
00:00:17.660And finally, is it cruel and callous for parents to kick their adult children out of their homes and force them to live on their own?
00:00:23.760That's what many people seem to think, and we'll talk about that today and so much more on the Matt Wall Show.
00:00:30.000Truly, in all of my many long hours as a Virginia resident, I've never been so proud.
00:00:42.660Ever since I first came out as a trans-Virginian, I have dreamed of a day like this.
00:00:47.140My greatest hope now is that others will be inspired to live their own truth loudly and boldly.
00:00:52.060And the truth in Virginia last night, as you've heard by now, is that Republican Glenn Youngkin did pull out the upset victory over Terry McAuliffe.
00:00:58.040It wasn't even all that close in the end, with Youngkin winning by three or four points, which may as well be a landslide, considering that Biden won the state by 10 points a year ago.
00:01:08.280So this was a massive swing, a tectonic shift, an earthquake, and especially cataclysmic for Democrats when you consider that the swing didn't even happen over the course of an entire year or half a year.
00:01:19.580Only a couple of months ago, Youngkin was down significantly in the polls and running a standard default GOP beltway type campaign.
00:01:29.080Then things changed, and we'll talk about those changes and what they mean.
00:01:33.280But before we do that, before we discuss the reality on the ground, let's check in with McAuliffe's PR team in the corporate media, who are all, as expected, not taking this very well.
00:01:42.780The good news for Republicans is that the Democrats are steadfastly determined to learn all of the wrong lessons and to stick to their original assumptions and preconceived notions and strategies no matter the results.
00:01:54.560And to that end, tearful cable news personalities, mascara running down their faces, men and women, filling our leftist tears tumblers to overflowing, tried desperately to comfort themselves by playing the greatest hits.
00:02:34.900He did not really put much distance between himself and Donald Trump on the big lie or the deadly insurrection in which police officers were maimed by flagpoles.
00:02:45.080So I think that the real ominous thing is that critical race theory, which isn't real, turned the suburbs 15 points to the Trump insurrection endorsed Republican.
00:03:16.400Youngkin treated Trump as mostly irrelevant to the concerns of Virginia voters because he is.
00:03:22.200He's the former president of the United States.
00:03:24.120Parents in Virginia, voters in Virginia are not going about their days thinking constantly about the former president, worried about him, longing for him.
00:03:34.780They're thinking about their own families, their kids, their communities, their country.
00:03:38.020The people who think about Trump the most are leftists in politics and media.
00:03:42.640Trump is the star in their solar system.
00:04:23.220There was all of this, you know, talking about critical race theory and representing it as if it was happening in elementary school, which, of course, is not even being taught there.
00:04:34.500But there were a lot of these hot-button cultural issues, I think, that Youngkin was really able to use to his advantage.
00:04:44.600I don't think that that's right because I think it was misrepresented.
00:04:47.740But this is now, I think, also the Republican playbook, is to use these issues to scare people, basically, a feeling out of control, you know, that everything's out of control with their children and they need to be protected from these people with this demagogues and this agenda, right?
00:05:11.960That's their favorite term is dog whistle.
00:05:16.520If you're even using the phrase dog whistle at this point, that's a dog whistle that you're a moron because dog whistle doesn't mean what they think it means.
00:05:25.820And for them, you know, this is dog whistle racism because it's the Republicans who are obsessed with race, they claim.
00:05:34.500Joy Reid on MSNBC, she expectedly agrees.
00:05:39.180That the coronavirus or that the virus was a very low salience to many voters.
00:05:45.060It was education, which is code for white parents don't like the idea of teaching about race.
00:05:51.600And I mean, unfortunately, race is just the most palpable tool in the toolkit used to be of the Democratic Party back in the day when there were Dixiecrats and now of the Republican Party.
00:07:01.400I think we also see the enduring power of the culture wars and the Republicans are better at playing this game because it's essentially white identity politics that works for Republicans.
00:07:13.960We saw it in 2016 and we're seeing it in some of these races now, particularly in the McAuliffe race with the CRT issue and education.
00:07:25.120Republicans are playing identity politics, she says.
00:07:27.640Democrats and the media set half the cities in the country on fire for six months by convincing people that police officers were out hunting and killing black men.
00:07:37.100And yet Republicans are the ones cynically exploiting racial tensions and anxieties.
00:07:42.900And yet all of this crying and panicking still was not as embarrassing as the reaction from McAuliffe himself, who took to the stage late in the night for a concession speech, which was noticeably lacking in any kind of actual concession.
00:10:02.380Politics is but one battlefield, one engagement within that broader struggle.
00:10:07.800Political victories and political defeats, they happen within the context of culture.
00:10:12.220And despite what you just heard from that cable news talking head about Republicans being good at fighting culture wars, for a very long time, the opposite has been the case.
00:10:23.520I hope that is true now and will be even more true in the future.
00:10:29.700But historically, that has not been true.
00:10:32.920Republicans retreated from the culture war and the culture itself, surrendering it piece by piece to the left, giving up on the war, but hoping to squeak out a few victories now and again on the political battlefield.
00:10:43.960The problem with that strategy is that even if you achieve those victories, which you will inevitably as the political pendulum tends to swing one way and then another.
00:10:52.080So no matter what's happening with the culture, Republicans are going to win some Democrats are going to win some.
00:10:57.400But even when it swings your way, the supposedly conservative political leaders are leading within the context of a culture owned by the left.
00:11:05.360This means that any imprint left by a Republican president or governor will be like a footprint in the sand during low tide.
00:11:12.220It's only going to get washed away and soon it will be as though nobody had walked there at all.
00:11:17.380You won't be able to tell the difference.
00:11:18.560I mean, look at Donald Trump at nearly everything that that that he accomplished through four years was erased in like an hour of the Biden administration.
00:11:31.760OK, Joe Biden was able to erase all of that by snapping his fingers.
00:12:22.140Go flee into the mountains, flee into the forests.
00:12:25.460Board the first Elon Musk rocket ship to Mars.
00:12:28.660I mean, if we're giving up on the culture.
00:12:31.080So it never made any sense when you heard these conservatives say, oh, let's not worry about the culture war.
00:12:35.880So you're saying let's not worry about anything then.
00:12:38.220Why are you, what are we talking about then?
00:12:42.740What do you think you're fighting for if you're not fighting for the culture?
00:12:47.540But if you are fighting the real fight, the fight for culture, it has to start with education.
00:12:52.200And education was, of course, the issue in Virginia.
00:12:58.200It didn't start out that way, but that's what it became.
00:13:00.380Why is education the first thing you got to talk about when we're talking about culture?
00:13:05.600Because you can have, again, all of the Republican elected leaders you want.
00:13:09.080If 50 million children are still going to left-wing indoctrination camps every day where they're subjected to relentless social conditioning and left-wing religious proselytization, it's not going to matter much in the end.
00:13:20.060So the fight for culture, which, again, is the fight, has to begin in the education system.
00:13:29.820And this was, hopefully, what we're looking at is the beginning of something.
00:13:36.480This is, as much as we can gloat in our victories and it's fun to do, we'd make a big mistake if we said, well, there we go.
00:13:45.560I mean, if the ultimate goal in terms of education is to retake the education system and to fundamentally transform it into something where it is no longer a left-wing indoctrination camp, then there is a lot of work still to be done.
00:14:02.620I mean, essentially what we're talking about, this is not about, well, we reform the system.
00:14:07.100This would have to be a total dismantling of the system and then rebuilding it into something entirely different.
00:15:00.940I tell everybody about my relief band.
00:15:03.140And the product is a 100% drug-free, non-drowsy solution and it provides all-natural, long-lasting relief with zero side effects for as long as needed.
00:15:11.880The technology was originally developed over 20 years ago in hospitals to relieve nausea from patients.
00:15:16.260But now, through relief band, it's available to the masses.
00:15:19.120How it works is relief band stimulates a nerve in the wrist that travels to the part of your brain that controls nausea.
00:15:28.940I can tell you that from extensive experience.
00:15:30.880Relief band just released its newest model, relief band sport.
00:15:34.040The sport is waterproof, features interchangeable bands, and has extended battery life so you can wear this even while you're playing sports.
00:15:40.260If you have a bout of nausea on the basketball court, then you have that relief band on and that's going to take care of that problem.
00:15:46.000Instead of puking all over the basketball court, as I have done countless times.
00:15:48.860That's why nobody ever wants to play with me anymore.
00:15:51.460As the holiday season quickly approaches, there's never been a better time to give the gift of relief and make sure your loved ones are nausea-free.
00:15:57.080Right now, Relief Band has an exclusive offer just for Matt Walsh listeners.
00:16:00.420If you go to Relief Band and use promo code Walsh, you'll receive 20% off plus free shipping and no questions asked.
00:16:08.440Use our promo code Walsh for 20% off plus free shipping.
00:16:10.760So the other thing I want to mention as well, and this hasn't really made it into the analysis for most of the pundits, both on the left and right,
00:16:21.840but I thought that there was very interesting polling data, looking at the exit polls, and what is it that motivated voters?
00:16:28.060And we know that, I mean, I was looking at a chart in the New York Times that shows every single, showing which counties were more Republican than they were during the presidential election or more Democrat.
00:16:44.140And every single one, it's a red arrow to the right.
00:16:47.260I mean, every single county, every single county in Virginia, more Republican than it was in 2020.
00:16:54.080And so you had a lot of swing voters and even some Democrats who decided not to vote for the Democrat this time around.
00:17:00.940You look at the exit poll, I saw one interesting data point, 43% said they didn't want to vote for the Democrat because they were grossed out that Joe Biden shit his pants.
00:17:10.260And I thought that was a really fascinating tidbit.
00:17:14.960And I know I said that we shouldn't be talking about this anymore.
00:18:50.400She's the first black lieutenant governor in Virginia.
00:18:54.700And this is the woman that a bunch of white supremacist racists voted for.
00:18:58.420Now, she got up last night to speak and all those racists in the audience, they were, you know, oddly enough, I don't know if they all had their eyes closed or what.
00:19:11.680They didn't notice that she was a black woman because they were all cheering for her, even though they're a bunch of racists.
00:19:16.380But let's listen to a little bit of Winsome Sears last night.
00:19:22.420We're going to have safer neighborhoods, safer communities, and our children are going to get a good education.
00:19:33.060Because education lifted my father out of poverty, education lifted me out of poverty, education will lift us all out of poverty because we we must have marketable skills so that our children cannot just survive, but they will thrive.
00:19:56.840And they will create generational wealth.
00:20:22.000I just wanted to leave it better than I found it.
00:20:24.840You know, she is actually a talented and charismatic speaker.
00:20:30.840And there aren't very many of those in the Republican Party.
00:20:34.340There aren't many, very many of those in politics in general or in life.
00:20:38.320It's that's a it's a rare it's a rare talent.
00:20:40.740But the Republican Party has been has been really hurting for those for those types of politicians who can get up there and just kind of speak and sound natural, not sound scripted.
00:20:51.580And have a have a have a have a natural kind of charisma to she really has that.
00:20:55.660So I think as a star in the making here, we'll be seeing a lot more from Winsome Sears, who, again, is beloved by the white supremacists in the audience, cheering, shouting they love her.
00:21:09.020Well, you know, here's how it really happens is because the media, when the media gets around to acknowledging the existence of Winsome Sears, which they haven't done, they they they right now, the strategy is we're not going to talk about this woman at all.
00:21:23.260So, but eventually, especially if she gets more and more high profile, they're going to have to acknowledge her.
00:21:31.120And when they do, they're going to say, well, she is she's technically black, but really, she's a part of the she's a part of the structures of whiteness or whatever nonsense.
00:21:41.140So she's she's white in spirit, if not in terms of skin pigment.
00:22:40.580There is an element of so-called white backlash in that.
00:22:44.840It turns out white parents aren't really crazy about sending their kids to school so that they can learn that they are evil, that they're inherently bigoted, that they are the inheritors of generational guilt for things that they didn't do.
00:23:03.420OK, so, yeah, it turns out white people aren't a lot of white people aren't crazy about that.
00:23:10.460It turns out that a lot of white people don't like being cast as the villains.
00:23:15.160Don't like being degraded and insulted.
00:23:31.940There's certainly nothing racist about it.
00:23:33.480But from the left's perspective, you know, they think they should be able to shout at white people, say you're all a bunch of scumbags and villains.
00:23:43.200And say, you know, send your kids to us and we're going to tell them the same thing.
00:23:48.400Send your scummy demon offsprings to us so we can tell them all about how they're inherently racist and that nobody can be racist against them.
00:23:57.740And that's somehow they have to apologize simply for existing all of their, you know, their ancestors are all scumbags as well or worse.
00:24:13.840So a lot of things they should tell that they should say that to us.
00:25:17.380It says the mother of the 15-year-old boy who dressed in a skirt and raped a female classmate in the girl's bathroom and was then charged with sexually assaulting another girl months later says her son doesn't identify as a female.
00:25:26.980And it wasn't just some disguise to slip into the girl's bathroom.
00:25:30.300Speaking exclusively to the Daily Mail, the mother who asked not to be identified for the sake of her underage son defended his actions as that of a heterosexual hormonal teen who, in the case of the rape, had consensual sex with the girl twice before.
00:25:41.900However, totally irrelevant to the question of whether or not this was rape, which she has been found guilty of, by the way.
00:25:53.300She declared, quote, he's a 15-year-old boy that wanted to have sex in the bathroom with somebody that was willing.
00:25:58.320And they're just twisting this just enough to make it a political hot-button issue.
00:26:12.840That's what we're getting from the mother.
00:26:15.780The story exploded when Scott Smith, the father of the rape victim, was dragged out of a school board meeting with a bloodied mouth on June 22nd.
00:26:24.960Getting a little bit more from the mother.
00:26:28.200It says, despite his androgynous style and declaration that he's pansexual, the boy's mother insisted he isn't the gender-fluid boogeyman in a culture war about transgender policies.
00:26:37.760She explained he would wear a skirt one day and then the next day.
00:26:40.420He would wear jeans and a t-shirt, a polo, or hoodie.
00:26:42.820He was trying to find himself, and that involved all kinds of styles.
00:26:46.260I believe he was doing it because it gave him attention that he desperately needed and sought.
00:26:49.460At the same time, she concedes her son is deeply troubled, acknowledging his extensive history of misbehavior that included sending nude photos of himself to a girl in fifth grade.
00:26:57.980She doesn't clarify if this is something he did in fifth grade or he sent.
00:27:02.540I assume from what she's saying that in fifth grade he did this.
00:27:07.520She reached her own breaking point with him in early October when he phoned her from the juvenile detention center following his second arrest.
00:27:14.960The mom says, he asked me how I was doing, and I said, I'm broken, I'm shattered, you shattered me.
00:27:19.720Do you have any idea what you've done to me, what you've done to your family?
00:27:22.500And his response was, no, what did I do?
00:27:25.820She said that she had been his primary point of contact with his dad living in New Jersey.
00:27:31.720At that point, I was like, you know what?
00:27:55.720And she gets more into the family drama.
00:27:57.880And a lot of details that we don't really need isn't relevant.
00:28:00.620I think there are a few things here to point out.
00:28:07.320The first is that nobody ever claimed, certainly the Daily Wire in our investigative reporting, we never claimed that the boy was transgender.
00:28:15.700We said he was wearing a skirt on the day of the assault, which is true.
00:28:22.520And in terms of how he identifies, we never said anything about that.
00:29:16.520Because they lied about this and tried to cover it up.
00:29:19.720And they did that because at the same time, when this was all happening, they were trying to push through the transgender bathroom policies to allow boys into the girls' room.
00:29:29.840So they are the ones who said, well, gee, we really want to pass this transgender policy.
00:29:36.380And the fact that a girl was just brutally raped inside of one of our bathrooms is pretty inconvenient to that, even if the boy didn't identify as transgender.
00:29:44.160So we're going to pretend it never happened.
00:29:46.180And we're going to lie right to the face of the father of the victim.
00:29:50.320And then when he gets arrested for reacting in an angry way, like any father would, we're going to paint them as a domestic terrorist.
00:29:57.580So they're the ones who drew this connection.
00:30:02.580Is this assault related to the bathroom policies?
00:30:07.660Yes, because the Loudoun County School Board made it that way.
00:30:13.960Because a big part of the scandal here, you know, a terrible thing happening at a school, you know, someone falling victim to a terrible violent crime.
00:32:12.860I could have told you right then and there he doesn't have a father in the house.
00:32:16.000In fact, I could have told you that without even the rape, the boy wearing the skirt, pretty good indication there's no father in the home.
00:32:25.460And even if he's in the home, he's not present.
00:32:28.780He's not a real influence in the home.
00:32:31.620Combine those two things together and, yeah, it's almost certain the father's not there and he's not.
00:33:35.260Next, the Kyle Rittenhouse trial has started.
00:33:37.820The prosecution made its opening statement, which is that, you know, the prosecution, their opening argument, their point here is that Kyle Rittenhouse was there and that he killed some guys.
00:35:50.900But then, from the vantage point of the video evidence we had up until this point, they went behind some cars, and then we hear gunshots ring out, and we don't know exactly what happened.
00:36:01.760And so you could speculate, well, maybe Rosenbaum gave up and stopped and put his hands up and said, never mind, I'm not going to hurt you.
00:36:09.800You could speculate about that or claim that.
00:37:28.760They could take my gun and shoot me with it.
00:37:30.100Like, you know, the only other option was either pull the trigger or not and let them descend upon you and just hope that the damage they inflict on you isn't too severe.
00:37:40.440But you are not legally required to take that kind of risk.
00:37:56.320It says, a Washington state father killed his daughter's 19-year-old boyfriend for selling her into a sex trafficking ring, according to police.
00:38:03.620The boyfriend's remains were discovered in the trunk of an abandoned car on East Everett Avenue in Spokane last month, police said in a press conference.
00:38:11.200Investigators believe the victim was killed in November 2020.
00:38:13.160The girl's father, John Eisenman, 60, was charged with first-degree murders being held on a million-dollar bail.
00:38:19.920So police said that Eisenman learned in October 2020 that his juvenile daughter had been sex trafficked in the Seattle area and obtained information that her boyfriend was responsible, according to the press release.
00:38:30.320Eisenman was able to rescue his daughter and get her back to her home that same month.
00:38:37.260When the father learned that his daughter's boyfriend was going to be at a location in Airway Heights, Eisenman drove there and waited for the 19-year-old to arrive.
00:38:44.760During that encounter, Eisenman abducted the victim, tying him up and placing him in the trunk of a vehicle.
00:38:49.120Eisenman subsequently assaulted the victim by hitting him in the head with a cinder block and then stabbed him repeatedly, causing his death.
00:38:55.020After the homicide, Eisenman drove the vehicle to a remote area and abandoned the car with the body still inside.
00:39:02.220Unironically, this is father of the year.
00:39:05.420Put me on that jury and I will sentence him to a round of applause and free beer for life.
00:39:11.680And I say that without any hint of irony whatsoever.
00:39:15.640Assuming everything we just heard is true.
00:39:17.240I mean, assuming these details are all accurate.
00:39:21.060But on the assumption that this is all true, I would certainly hope that there's no jury in America, even in Washington state, that would convict this man and send him to prison.
00:39:35.420I mean, they might feel like they have to convict him of something, you know, slap on the wrist at worst.
00:39:45.260But in reality, this is, this is, according to the details, this is a good father doing what a father should do.
00:39:52.140And doing what, you know, what most fathers probably wouldn't do or great many fathers wouldn't, but not because they have a moral problem with it, just because they're worried, you know, they're worried about their own livelihood and they don't want to go to jail.
00:40:02.560But I can tell you one thing for sure.
00:40:05.380Any father, if their daughter is, is sex trafficked, any father would want to track down the sex trafficker and kill him.
00:40:15.140And any, any father would feel and would be totally justified in doing so.
00:40:20.400It's just that if they wouldn't, it's just because they don't want to go to prison, which is, you know, which is not a, not an irrational concern either.
00:40:27.800I mean, think about what this guy did.
00:40:30.340According to the report, this is from the police.
00:40:33.080It's not even the defense attorney making this claim.
00:40:35.440This is the police saying that his daughter was made into a sex slave.
00:40:43.600He goes and rescues him, her from sex slavery, gets her to safety, finds out who did it, tracks the guy down, beats him with a cinder block and stabs him to death.
00:40:54.900This is, they, they, they literally made a movie about that.
00:41:29.100And, uh, I hope he has a, you know, uh, I hope his father's day gift next year is, is getting off on all charges because that's what he deserves.
00:43:31.760And most of all, you don't have to memorize 18,000 different fouls and keep track of 40 moving objects just to understand why everybody stopped playing, but the timer is still going.
00:43:40.020So, what I take from this, David, is that much like a woman, you're not able to understand the football game as you're watching.
00:43:48.500Maybe you've never sat and watched a football game with another man who can explain it to you.
00:43:54.060And I understand that because, you know, no man wants to explain the game of football to another man while he's trying to watch football.
00:44:00.920So, I think that's the situation you're in.
00:44:02.220But in terms of the game not stopping, are you kidding me?
