Today on The Matt Wall Show, online application forms now provide dozens of gender options,
00:00:04.820
and sometimes man or woman doesn't even make the list. And speaking of made-up terms,
00:00:09.240
a new poll shows that almost no Hispanic people use the term Latinx, and yet the left continues
00:00:14.000
to push it. We'll talk about all that today. Plus, Bill de Blasio bans young children from
00:00:18.100
public accommodations if they don't show their vaccine papers. The evil is so absurd and over
00:00:22.260
the top at this point as to almost be cartoonish. And salacious new details emerge in the Jussie
00:00:26.780
Smollett trial. Also, a company produces a suicide pod to help people kill themselves.
00:00:31.540
And in our daily cancellation, we'll ask the question, why is everyone so ugly these days?
00:00:36.360
All of that and more today on The Matt Wall Show.
00:00:47.900
Here's a gift you can give yourself for Christmas. How about aligning yourself with a company,
00:00:52.580
supporting a company that supports you, rather than, as we all do, unfortunately,
00:00:57.100
just in the fact that we live in this culture. Inevitably, you're going to be supporting a lot
00:01:00.640
of companies, giving your money to a lot of companies that hate you. Well, when you get a
00:01:04.020
chance to support a company like Charity Mobile, you ought to do it. Charity Mobile is the pro-life
00:01:07.560
phone company. They partner with you to automatically support the pro-life, pro-family charity of your
00:01:11.400

00:01:29.160

00:01:33.160
able to keep your existing phone, but if you want a new phone, they've got a variety of options
00:01:36.480
from everything from the basic flip phones all the way up to the smartphones and the latest 5G
00:01:42.040

00:01:50.940
or chat with them online at charitymobile.com and mention offer code Walsh.
00:01:55.280
So, a woman named Sasha was filling out some kind of online application form recently and shared one
00:02:00.900
part of that experience on Twitter. At the section where it asks for your gender, a drop-down menu
00:02:05.700
appears, which you can see with 19 options. Notice the order of their appearance.
00:02:10.880
Agender, androgyny, bigender, demigender, genderfluid, genderqueer, pangender, transman,
00:02:17.020
transwoman, two-spirit, gender-not-listed, declined-to-answer, non-binary, and then cis-male
00:02:23.300
and cis-female. Now, if you're wondering, for some reason, demigender means somebody who is
00:02:29.040
one gender, but not fully that gender. So, perhaps a demigender is 82% man, and the other 18% is
00:02:35.440
comprised of, you know, other ingredients. Human beings now, like, talk about themselves like
00:02:41.180
whiskey connoisseurs might talk about the mash bill and a nice bottle of bourbon. Yeah, I'm 50%
00:02:45.800
male, 20% female, 20% unicorn, and 10% rye. Pangender, by the way, is someone who doesn't
00:02:53.220
connect with any particular gender, but isn't that the same as demigender and genderqueer and
00:02:58.460
non-binary and genderfluid and agender? Aren't these all labels for the exact same thing, which
00:03:02.920
at bottom is nonsensical in itself? Yes, of course, but in a culture where labels now take the place of
00:03:09.000
personality, a person wants to accrue all of the labels they can. It's like the kind of stat padding
00:03:14.540
that a football team might do in the fourth quarter when they keep throwing passes, even
00:03:18.120
though they're up by 25 with two minutes left. They, you know, they want to collect the stats
00:03:21.920
for their own sake, just as the person in the leftist LGBT cult collects labels for their own
00:03:27.640
sake. But the striking thing about this array of options is not what makes the list, but what
00:03:34.000
doesn't. Notice what's missing. The options for man and woman, not there. These categories have been
00:03:41.120
erased. Instead, Sasha, as a biological female who knows that she is a female and identifies as what
00:03:47.420
she is, has to settle with the term cis female. But cis is an invented term made up by the LGBT
00:03:54.400
left with the express purpose of making normal men and women seem like one mere variation among an
00:04:00.160
infinite array of equal, if not superior options. By calling normal women cis, you're placing them
00:04:07.160
within the LGBT framework. You cannot say the word cis male or cis female in a non-critical way
00:04:15.040
without affirming every other gender identity because cis exists in a universe alongside those
00:04:20.460
others. Cis is meant to validate the other choices while marginalizing itself. The last point
00:04:27.780
is made, the marginalization point is made in a not so subtle way by listing the cis options last,
00:04:34.440
even though the list is alphabetical otherwise. So they went outside of the alphabetization system.
00:04:42.360
There we go. In order to put cis at the bottom, because every other term there, it's all alphabetical.
00:04:48.900
But we're going to put cis at the bottom, even though it starts with C. Kind of a visual representation
00:04:52.900
of the LGBT identity hierarchy. Marginalize normalcy. Make normal seem abnormal. That's the goal here.
00:05:02.400
It's a goal that has already been accomplished, largely through the manipulation of language.
00:05:07.300
As always, the manipulation is top-down. Elites come up with it, you know, with these terms.
00:05:12.940
They kind of workshop it. And then they send it out into the community, demanding that the plebes adopt
00:05:17.180
it. Perfect example of this is the term latinx, which I guess they want us to pronounce as Latinx.
00:05:24.100
But both, no matter how you pronounce it, it makes no sense. But really, L-A-T-I-N-X would be latinx,
00:05:31.240
since that's what I'm calling it. It's the totally incoherent gender-neutral term for Latino that the
00:05:36.440
LGBT left concocted a few years ago. The Daily Wire has a report on how well it's been received
00:05:41.320
in the Hispanic community. And spoiler alert, it has not been received very well. They report, quote,
00:05:47.440
On Monday Morning, Politico reported that a new poll indicated that many Hispanic American voters
00:05:51.360
are bothered by the term latinx, possibly contributing to the exodus of Hispanic voters
00:05:55.780
from the Democrat Party. Latinx has been introduced in recent years by academics as a way to describe
00:06:00.300
Hispanic voters without using the feminine Latina or the masculine Latino. The national poll was taken
00:06:05.660
between November 17th and November 21st and found that the effort to implement latinx is turning off
00:06:10.040
Hispanics, according to Politico. Only 2% of those polled referred to themselves as latinx,
00:06:14.280
while 68% called themselves Hispanic and 21% favored Latino or Latina to describe their ethnic
00:06:21.400
background, according to the survey from Bendixen and Amandi International, a top Democratic firm
00:06:26.480
specializing in Latino outreach. More problematic for Democrats, 40% said latinx bothers or offends
00:06:33.660
them to some degree, and 30% said they would be less likely to support a politician or organization
00:06:38.120
that uses the term. This latest poll is nearly identical to a 2019 survey that found 98%
00:06:44.160
of Hispanics preferred a term other than latinx to describe their heritage. At the time, the
00:06:49.020
progressive founder of ThinkNow, Mario Carasaco, said that based on the results, he would advise my
00:06:54.880
colleagues across the various marketing, human resources, journalism, and communication disciplines
00:06:58.860
to avoid using latinx as a descriptor for all Latinos. Well, of course, normal Hispanic people don't
00:07:06.280
use the term or like it. If Spanish is their primary or only language, then they really can't use the term
00:07:12.960
as it is unpronounceable in Spanish. That's one of the many problems with it. Spanish is a gendered
00:07:20.020
language. Every noun has a gender. So the word chair in Spanish, silla, is feminine. The word for bench is
00:07:28.760
masculine, el banco. And that's about the extent of the Spanish that I know. Three years of high school
00:07:33.200
Spanish, well-spent. In any case, the point is that you cannot impose gender neutrality onto a
00:07:38.500
fundamentally gendered language without destroying the language. The left, to borrow their phrase,
00:07:44.960
is colonizing the Spanish language and turning it into something else entirely. So this goes beyond
00:07:50.500
trying to bully Spanish-speaking people into using a new word. They're trying to bully them into a new
00:07:56.380
language. The irony here is that if, for whatever reason, the gendered nature of the word Latino or Latina
00:08:04.380
offends you, there's already another gender-inclusive and coherent and popular term that the people in this
00:08:11.200
community use. Almost 70% of them prefer it. That is Hispanic. So if you want a gender-neutral term for
00:08:17.520
Latino people, why not just call them Hispanic? Well, the answer is that Hispanic already exists.
00:08:24.660
That's the problem. And it's existed for a long time. So when you say the word Hispanic, you bring
00:08:30.280
to mind people who live south of our border. But the LGBT left doesn't want you to think first of
00:08:35.900
Hispanic people when you talk about Hispanic people. They want you to think of themselves.
00:08:41.080
Everything and everyone must be defined by reference to themselves and their ideology.
00:08:45.700
Through Latinx, they have essentially inducted the entire population of Central and South America,
00:08:53.440
all 600 million of them or so, into the LGBT leftist camp. Normalcy is pushed further to the fringes.
00:09:01.280
Now, the good news, at least, is that normal people reject this gibberish. The bad news is that even
00:09:08.000
though nobody likes it or wants it, still the term exists and is pushed and appears in official
00:09:14.680
government documents and is used by major corporations. That shows the power of the leftist
00:09:21.620
elites to obtrude these changes into a society, onto a society against its will. Now, a few years from
00:09:29.160
now, after they have hectored and threatened and cajoled and manipulated at least a sizable minority
00:09:35.060
into using the term, a new political poll will be conducted showing that, hey, now would you look at
00:09:40.160
that? 35% of Hispanics told a pollster that they prefer the term Latinx. And when that happens,
00:09:46.100
the left will celebrate the news and they'll call it progress and evolution. They'll say, yeah,
00:09:50.920
yeah, look at that. Language changes on its own. But it will be neither progress nor evolution.
00:09:58.220
Not a natural evolution, anyway. It will be rather the result of a sustained psychological and social
00:10:04.060
campaign to change the way people speak about themselves and thus the way they see themselves.
00:10:11.660
That, as always, is the ultimate goal. Now let's get to our five headlines.
00:10:22.820
This holiday season, how about a gift that keeps on giving you joy and comfort every day,
00:10:27.120
all year long? A gift that looks as good as it feels and a gift that will actually pay for itself
00:10:31.780
in terms of how much more productive you'll be at work. I'm talking about giving yourself the gift
00:10:35.740
of an X chair. This is for yourself. Don't get anyone else the X chair because, you know,
00:10:39.440
this is for you. You deserve it. And I absolutely love mine, I can tell you. It's by far the most
00:10:44.980
comfortable and ergonomic chair I've ever used. And honestly, it's also probably the coolest looking
00:10:48.960
piece of furniture I own. Not only is X chair the world's greatest office chair, but with its patented
00:10:53.500
LMX technology, it doubles as a massage chair and it can cool or warm your back as well. Can your office
00:11:00.320
chair do that? Probably not. So now is the perfect time to purchase an X chair. You can buy early and
00:11:05.800
buy now. And here's X chair's holiday gift to you. Save $100 off your X chair just by purchasing
00:11:11.260
at xchairwalsh.com now. That's xchairwalsh.com, the letter X, chair, W-A-L-S-H.com. X chair is a 30-day
00:11:19.060
guarantee of complete comfort and you can finance your purchase for as little as $30 a month. Go to
00:11:22.980
xchairwalsh.com and save xchairwalsh.com. All right. So by the way, there were some people
00:11:29.880
complaining in the comment section. You can see that we're all decorated for Christmas here,
00:11:33.320
as we mentioned yesterday. Very, very festive. I had mentioned on the show that I wanted a six-foot
00:11:41.440
mechanical Santa behind me on the show waving. That was one of the things that I requested.
00:11:46.940
And I just talked to our producer mechanic about it. She said that we couldn't get approved to be
00:11:51.760
about $700 for a mechanical Santa that waves. And somehow that budget was not approved. So I'll
00:12:00.420
have to go talk to the higher-ups about that one, but we'll see what else we can do. The biggest news
00:12:05.520
that we have to really start with, aside from the decorations in my studio, I think the biggest news
00:12:09.600
is this. And I promise you, I'm not making this up. It is Walrus Awareness Week. It's on the calendar.
00:12:18.960
It's real. This is the week to raise awareness about walruses and about books, especially children's
00:12:25.220
books that are walrus-themed. Like, say, my children's book, Johnny the Walrus. We didn't plan
00:12:32.460
to coincide the launch of Johnny the Walrus with Walrus Awareness Week, but it happened. It was
00:12:38.880
fated to happen. It's like written in the stars. The walrus constellation, which might exist,
00:12:44.860
aligned. And here we are. It's pretty amazing how perfectly this has all worked. I'm a top LGBT
00:12:52.460
author. It's Walrus Awareness Week. Why do we need walrus awareness? I mean, who isn't aware of
00:12:59.140
walruses already? And if you're not aware, why do you need to be aware of them? What are we supposed to
00:13:04.800
do with that awareness besides buy my book? I don't know. I can't answer that. This is just a
00:13:10.780
week for people to go, you know, for someone to say to you, hey, hey, did you know walruses exist?
00:13:16.180
And then the other person says, yeah, I did know, but thanks for reminding me.
00:13:20.000
And so it's great. That's what it's all about. In fact, here's a, we're going to play this for some
00:13:23.540
reason. Here's a, I was, I was looking up reports on Walrus Awareness Week, and there are a lot of local
00:13:29.060
news channels have been, have been talking about this. I'm a little bit offended that I watched
00:13:33.640
about five different reports on Walrus Awareness Week. Not one of them mentioned my book, Johnny
00:13:37.880
the Walrus, which is available at johnnythewalrus.com. But we'll watch, this is a, this is a
00:13:42.220
CBS affiliate talking a little bit about walruses. And I figured let's just, let's watch this.
00:13:48.380
It is Walrus Awareness Week. And what better time to talk with our friends from SeaWorld about their
00:13:53.360
involvement. They really are involved in a lot of efforts, but Walrus Conservation Consortium
00:13:58.900
is one big one. This is pretty neat. Joining us at their walrus exhibit is Mitzi Sinnott,
00:14:03.600
Senior Animal Care Special. Mitzi, thanks so much for being here. And who do you got there?
00:14:08.840
This handsome boy is Dozer. This is our 28-year-old male, and you guys, he's almost 4,000 pounds.
00:14:15.480
Oh, man. They like to eat. So how much do they eat in a day, and what do they usually like to consume?
00:14:22.280
So right now, he's eating 125 pounds of fish a day. So he gets herring, he gets clams, sardines,
00:14:32.000
squid, all kinds of stuff. So in the wild, he would actually be able to go find 125 pounds of food a day?
00:14:37.760
Wow. Pure body shaming. Body shaming the walrus. Oh, do they really eat that much? Yes, Gary,
00:14:45.040
they eat that much. He's 4,000 pounds made of pure lard. He lives in the damned Arctic. What do you
00:14:51.960
want him to do? Want him to make himself like a nice Greek salad? What do you want? Outrageous.
00:14:58.900
But I guess this is why we need greater walrus awareness and acceptance in society,
00:15:03.140
so we don't have this kind of body shaming. And also that you know to buy my book,
00:15:06.800
johnnythewalrus.com. Okay, we'll move on. Okay, we'll start here from walruses, which are kind of
00:15:16.900
weird looking. We'll go from there to New York, where the mutant Gumby, Bill de Blasio, has announced
00:15:22.360
new COVID measures going further than anyone else has gone. So you notice the trend here, as this wears
00:15:30.140
on and wears on, people like Bill de Blasio, they're putting COVID measures in place that are
00:15:38.880
stricter and stricter. Okay, so this is not getting more relaxed. And here's the latest from de Blasio.
00:15:46.840
We've got Omicron as a new factor. We've got the colder weather, which is going to really create
00:15:52.400
additional challenges with the Delta variant. We've got holiday gatherings. We in New York City
00:15:57.160
have decided to use a preemptive strike to really do something bold to stop the further growth of
00:16:04.360
COVID and the dangers it's causing to all of us. So as of today, we're going to announce a first in
00:16:09.700
the nation measure. Our health commissioner will announce a vaccine mandate for private sector
00:16:15.580
employers across the board. All private sector employers in New York City will be covered by this
00:16:22.260
vaccine mandate as of December 27th. We're going to have some other measures as well.
00:16:27.160
To really focus on maximizing vaccination quickly so we can get ahead of Omicron and all the other
00:16:33.720
challenges we're facing right now with COVID. Okay, so you see it puts up on the screen there
00:16:39.460
on the graphic. Vaccine proof for indoor dining, fitness and entertainment required for children
00:16:45.820
ages 5 to 11. The New York Post has more info on that part of it. Children's ages 5 to 11 reports
00:16:53.380
must show proof of one vaccination dose to eat out, see a show, go to a movie theater, visit a fitness
00:16:59.260
facility, or attend indoor entertainment venues by December 14th. Kids over age 12 must have two
00:17:04.860
doses by December 27th unless they receive the one-shot Johnson & Johnson vaccine. Bill de Blasio
00:17:10.380
first launched the key to NYC vaccine mandate for adults at all public indoor venues in August. But now
00:17:17.080
the new mandate also applies to many school activities. Kids over five must now be vaccinated to
00:17:21.360
attend high-risk extracurricular activities like band, sports, orchestra, and dance in schools.
00:17:29.080
So pull them out of school, pull them out of sports, pull them out of all those activities,
00:17:34.200
tell them they can't sit down at a restaurant, they can't go watch a movie.
00:17:40.360
Children in many of these places, especially places like New York, were isolated for over a year
00:17:46.580
attending school through Zoom meetings, and now you're going to isolate them once again.
00:17:57.600
We know that the suicide rate among kids, among adolescents especially, attempted suicides,
00:18:04.100
all of that skyrocketed over the last year or two.
00:18:06.420
And this is what they're doing in New York. I mean, this is pure, unadulterated evil from Bill
00:18:18.260
de Blasio. It's, it's, I mean, it's unthinkable, but we have to think about it because it's actually
00:18:24.580
happening. But it's unthinkable that you would, you would say to a five-year-old, show me your
00:18:30.380
papers, or you're not allowed in this restaurant. All for a virus that poses almost no serious threat
00:18:38.880
to kids at all. And that's why many parents are hesitant about getting the vaccine for their kids.
00:18:49.140
You know why? Because, because we have two years of COVID under our belts, and there's a lot of data,
00:18:56.360
data, and we can make an informed, data-driven decision and say, you know what? If my kids get
00:19:04.200
COVID, it's, it's very, very, very, very, very unlikely that they'll get seriously ill from it.
00:19:10.800
And even less likely that they'll die from it. But then you look over at the vaccine and you say,
00:19:16.740
you know what? We just started giving this, this vaccine to kids. We don't know that we don't know
00:19:22.580
much about it. Okay. So this is a, this is a, in many ways, because it's new, it is therefore,
00:19:31.180
by definition, an unknown entity for kids that, that, that young. It's a devil, you know, versus
00:19:40.720
devil, you don't kind of thing. And it's, it's a very reasonable calculation that parents make.
00:19:47.940
And because many parents have made that reasonable calculation, uh, you're going to punish the
00:19:56.000
children. This man is, uh, did I mention that he's evil? I mean, sometimes that, that aspect can I,
00:20:07.240
you know, can, can sometimes get lost in the fact that he's such a goofy, ridiculous,
00:20:10.960
stupid person. That doesn't make this any less evil. I mean, what we're doing to kids,
00:20:17.380
how we're treating them in this, in this society is unconscionable.
00:20:23.220
And I have to, I have to remind you again, that the reason that we're doing this,
00:20:27.720
you know, I'm sort of wasting my breath here talking about, well, COVID is not a serious threat
00:20:31.960
to children. According to the data, it's not about the kids. That's not what it's about.
00:20:35.680
This is all about the adults. It's to make the adults feel comfortable. Well, it's two things.
00:20:42.180
It's power for the people in charge. So this is a power trip. This is a power move.
00:20:50.600
Um, and it's also to make adults feel comfortable.
00:20:53.560
Now he mentioned the Omicron as, uh, as one of the reasons why they have to put all these measures
00:21:03.960
in place because there's Omnicorn variants out there and, uh, it's really terrible. And, and so
00:21:08.680
we got to put all this stuff in place because of the Omnicorn. Well, let's go to the guardian and,
00:21:13.800
uh, read, they've got a report. Here's what they say about, uh, Omnicorn. The Omnicorn variant has
00:21:18.820
been detected at at least 38 countries, but no deaths have yet been reported. According to the
00:21:25.920
World Health Organization, I made warnings that it could damage the global economic recovery.
00:21:30.320
The U S and Australia became the latest countries to confirm locally transmitted cases of the variant
00:21:34.060
as Omnicorn infections push South Africa's total cases past 3 million. The WHO has warned it could
00:21:40.820
take weeks to determine how infectious the variant is, whether it causes more severe illness and how
00:21:45.740
effective treatments and vaccines are against it. The WHO emergency director, Michael Ryan said,
00:21:50.080
we're going to get the answers that everybody out there needs. But according to the data we have
00:21:53.300
right now, it is, um, it is not at all lethal according to the data. Now there's a doctor on Twitter,
00:22:01.740
um, Dr. Abby Daskalou, and, uh, he's got some, uh, a chart here that he put up and he tweeted out,
00:22:08.620
uh, Omnicorn and South Africa are the battle of midway for COVID-19 outcomes. He says, and some bullet
00:22:15.440
points here, a seven X increase in new cases without increase in mortality, no protection for previous
00:22:21.800
natural immunity, no data for vaccine protection. So what do we get from that? Um, it's, it's at least
00:22:29.860
in South Africa, he says it's created a, an enormous surge in cases, seven X increase, seven times
00:22:36.580
increase, but no increase in mortality. And if that data holds up, that means that this thing is
00:22:43.280
this is an extremely mild strain according to the data.
00:22:51.900
So I ask again, the question that I have been asking, which is, um, if it's true that Omnicorn
00:22:58.020
is an extremely mild variant of COVID and that it's in 38 countries across the world and nobody's
00:23:05.360
died of it so far. And the scientists who discovered it says that, uh, you know, basically it's,
00:23:11.080
it's just cold symptoms for a few days for most people. Very mild. She said, well, if that's the
00:23:17.140
case, why are we trying to contain it? You know, if we're in, if, if we were interested in getting
00:23:24.520
past this, why would you take the one, the most mild strain of COVID and do everything you can to
00:23:32.040
shut everything down, lock people away, do what you can to isolate it and get rid of that strain
00:23:36.900
that the safest, most mild strain? Why would you do that?
00:23:44.480
That's a question. Largely a rhetorical one, but something to think about. Um, what else we got?
00:23:49.100
Uh, still on the, on, on COVID. I got to play this for you. Jimmy Fallon and Ariana Grande and, uh,
00:23:57.460
Megan Thee Stallion, they did a, they, they have a Christmas song out now called Masked Christmas.
00:24:04.540
All about wearing masks and, uh, getting your booster before, before you go to Christmas
00:24:09.480
with your family. And I'm now going to subject you to exactly 60 seconds of this. Here it is.
00:24:15.380
What's up, y'all? It's Megan Thee Stallion, Ariana Grande, and Jimmy Fallon. Y'all know what time it is.
00:25:17.960
We didn't get, I was trying to do the whole 60 seconds
00:25:23.160
And, uh, I couldn't even get through the entire thing
00:25:28.140
They used to pretend to be big critics of big pharma
00:25:38.160
This is basically an ode to pharmaceutical companies
00:25:50.040
That used to be what you would sing about on Christmas
00:25:52.540
And now, the new Christ is the pharmaceutical industry
00:26:18.320
Is that arguably it's a grave human rights violation
00:26:24.960
I mean, this is some of the best comedy of the century
