00:00:00.000Today on the Matt Wall Show, if you were expecting the media to back away from race hoaxes and shame after the Jussie Smollett verdict, think again.
00:00:06.920Yesterday, ESPN tried to resurrect the Bubba Wallace noose fable.
00:00:10.920Also, is Amazon to blame for the workers who died when a tornado hit their factory on Saturday?
00:00:15.640And you've heard about the male swimmer crushing the female competition at the college level.
00:00:20.480Today, we'll actually watch one of those races to see for ourselves what a farce it all is.
00:00:24.580Plus, the head of the NIH breaks into song during a press conference and in the Daily Cancellation will deal with the controversy surrounding comments that Ben Shapiro's sister made about Madonna.
00:00:34.980Am I going to cancel a member of the Shapiro family today?
00:00:38.280We'll talk about that and much more on Matt Wall Show.
00:00:40.540As an increasing number of companies fall all over themselves trying to appeal to the radical left, wouldn't it be nice to find one that supports you and your values?
00:01:21.760You may even be able to keep, rather keep your existing phone number, and you may be able to keep your existing phone.
00:01:27.040And unless you want a new phone, there's no problem there.
00:01:29.240Either Charity Mobile has a variety of options from basic flip phones and low-cost smartphones to the latest 5G phones.
00:01:35.400And I also love that they have special flip phones and other kinds of phones with parental controls built in so that if you do want to get your kid a phone so they can get in contact with you, then you don't have to also give them access to the internet.
00:01:49.980There are no contracts, no termination fees, and no risk with a 30-day guarantee.
00:01:53.820Switch to Charity Mobile and support the causes you care about.
00:01:56.140Call them at 1-877-474-3662 or chat with them online at charitymobile.com and mention offer code Walsh.
00:02:02.600So people often ask me, you know, why I am so stubborn and hard-headed and closed-minded, refusing to admit when I'm wrong, refusing to apologize, doubling down when people are upset at me, and then tripling down when they're mad that I doubled down.
00:02:14.300The answer is that I'm just kind of a jerk, frankly.
00:02:17.220But also because, although maybe not everyone can or should operate this way, we all have different personalities, some of us need to, because this is the kind of thing we're up against.
00:02:27.700We cannot all be equivocators and compromisers while we face an ideological opponent who stands firm in his position no matter what, regardless of the facts, regardless of anything.
00:02:38.700Some of us have to be a bit obstinate, headstrong, or else we'll all be blown around by the breeze like little leaves and twigs.
00:02:47.220A perfect example of the left's stubbornness, which calls for a proportional response, I think, is this.
00:02:53.540It's been less than a week since the Jussie Smollett verdict when the left and the media were, all you would think, humiliated after the hoax they promoted was revealed as a hoax.
00:03:03.400You might assume that they would want to crawl into a hole for a while, lick their wounds, hide their faces, and certainly steer plenty clear of anything else that looks like it might be a race hoax.
00:03:16.860And so yesterday, ESPN, with timing that is not a coincidence, decided to air a special on the Bubba Wallace story.
00:03:24.520Now, you remember that Bubba Wallace was the black NASCAR driver who claimed that somebody hung a noose in his garage last year.
00:03:30.740NASCAR rallied around him, the media ate the story up, and it all culminated in the dramatic display of all of the drivers at Talladega marching around the track with Bubba Wallace in a show of solidarity.
00:03:44.300And they all gave him hugs and they were all crying.
00:03:47.540Of course, there's one really important detail about that noose, quote unquote, which is that it was not a noose.
00:03:53.220It was a rope that you used to close the garage door.
00:03:57.000A garage door pull, as, you know, we call it.
00:03:59.280But anyone who's ever been in a garage might be familiar with these contraptions.
00:04:22.340But even if Bubba Wallace and everybody else at the Speedway that day had suffered amnesia and forgotten about the existence of garage door pulls, they still could have easily figured out whether the rope was meant to be some kind of racist message to Bubba Wallace.
00:04:36.360There are security cameras all over the place.
00:04:39.020As some of us pointed out when this story was first reported, well, there are security cameras.
00:04:45.600So couldn't you just quite easy to find out what's going on?
00:04:48.860Simply go back and check the footage and see how long the rope has been there.
00:04:52.800If it's been there for longer than a day or two, that means that it could not have been targeted at Bubba Smollett, Bubba Wallace.
00:04:59.940Sorry, because nobody would have known prior to that point that Wallace would be assigned to that garage.
00:05:21.060And when they did, they discovered that it had been there since the previous year.
00:05:24.720For months, it had been hanging there, and nobody thought anything of it.
00:05:28.360Did we need 15 FBI agents to look at the footage and discover this?
00:05:33.240Is there a reason why NASCAR couldn't have done this themselves immediately before running out to the public and telling everyone that there's a suspected potential noose-like structure in Bubba's Garage?
00:06:09.700I just wanted to stand with him during the National Anthem to show my support for him, and was appalled by what I had learned.
00:06:15.920And then as drivers got involved, I think crew members, team managers, team owners, it really started to snowball within a very short period of time.
00:06:24.560One of them, one were the next week's work I was going to have, haciendo a spacecraft developer.
00:11:30.360Well, the media decided that they decided it some time ago, and they've now turned it into a reality through one hoax after another.
00:11:41.120They've been so successful in constructing this reality that even people on the right who are skeptical of the individual noose hoaxes still don't stop to question why we're pretending that the noose is a racist symbol in the first place.
00:11:53.540That's the power of the false reality that the left has constructed, and which permeates and intrudes into the lives of people who would otherwise know better.
00:12:04.200So it's a very unique situation in modern times.
00:12:06.560They've always been liars and propagandists in the world, but never with such immediate and all-encompassing access to so many people.
00:12:14.200And so with this ability to fundamentally reshape how we look at the world, which is all the more reason to remain vigilant and skeptical, and if we stand in the truth, to stand there stubbornly.
00:12:27.360At least as stubborn as the liars are with their lies.
00:12:33.300If you've got guests coming over for Christmas, you know, one of the great sins, I think, as a host is to not have anywhere comfortable for your guests to sleep.
00:12:50.040You want to make sure they have a comfortable spot to sleep.
00:12:52.420And nothing wrong with putting guests on a couch.
00:12:54.800I never mind sleeping on the couch, taking the couch if I'm staying at someone's house.
00:12:58.300But make sure it's a comfortable couch, and it will be if you get an all-form couch.
00:13:03.300What makes an all-form sofa really cool?
00:13:05.520Well, for starters, it's the easiest way you can customize a sofa using premium materials, and at a fraction of the cost of traditional stores.
00:13:11.400You can pick your fabric, the sofa color, the color of the legs, sofa size, everything is customized.
00:13:16.200They've got armchairs and love seats all the way up to an eight-seat sectional, so there's something for everybody.
00:13:20.980And you can always start small and buy more seats later on if you want.
00:13:24.260And so your all-form sofa can grow and change if you wanted to.
00:13:27.720All-form sofas are also delivered directly to your door.
00:13:30.100In the past, if you wanted to order a sofa, you would need to hire somebody to come and assemble it.
00:13:33.300In your home, or break your back trying to put it together yourself.
00:15:47.200And so we have been contacting Target, reaching out to them, just saying, why would you take down this book, written by a best-selling LGBT author, this delightful book about a young boy pretending to be a walrus?
00:15:58.280Are you saying that this is prohibited now, that you're not going to sell books about children pretending to be different things?
00:16:08.380Books of fantasy and imagination, that's no longer allowed at Target?
00:16:39.860This could once again be homophobia, rearing its ugly head, where they're saying, oh, I don't want to talk to the number one best-selling, most revered LGBT author in the country.
00:16:50.280So this might be something targeted at me.
00:17:11.360Jen Psaki was asked about the sky-high inflation.
00:17:15.540She's another one who's not very forthcoming with answers.
00:17:19.340She doesn't like answering a lot of questions, just like Target apparently doesn't.
00:17:21.960But she did have an answer, finally, on this.
00:17:25.100Who is to blame for the fact that it costs so much money when you go to the grocery store if you want to buy some ground beef or something?
00:17:40.960There are several progressive groups and lawmakers who are increasingly vocalizing the idea that high inflation is being driven by corporate greed,
00:17:48.740including companies with high profits, some of whom have met at the White House with the President in recent months.
00:25:51.580Also, I've seen people going after Amazon for forcing employees to come to work, even though there were tornadoes in the forecast, as I saw somebody phrase it on Twitter.
00:25:59.720So I want to touch on these two things quickly.
00:26:02.620Um, and I don't, I don't, I don't really care if people are attacking Amazon and doesn't, doesn't personally offend me in any way, but I also, I hate nonsense.
00:26:12.680And there's a whole lot of nonsense related to this situation.
00:26:34.480And it's obviously a great tragedy that people ended up dying, but it was the right thing to do to make them stay because that is anyone who's lived in the Midwest, anyone who's lived in a, in a tornado prone area knows this.
00:26:49.780This is standard procedure when you get a tornado warning.
00:26:53.320And in fact, now you, you, you get them on your phone, you get the alert.
00:27:33.760If the tornado goes anywhere near you, I mean, you're, you're in a, as far as the tornado is concerned, you're in a very light, you know, you might as well be a rag doll.
00:27:42.980That's going to get tossed around by the storm.
00:27:44.380So you don't go in your car, you find a solid structure, the most solid you can find.
00:27:51.380If you're in a building, you find the safest place in that building.
00:27:54.280Last year, my wife was out grocery shopping and there was suddenly a tornado warning and they told everyone, don't leave, stay in the grocery store.
00:28:02.040Now, if my wife had made a run for it, I don't think they would have shot her to make her stay, but they said, don't leave, stay here.
00:28:09.620Because we're not going to send you all out to the parking lot into your cars to make a run for it.
00:28:13.180If Amazon had said to their employees, there's a tornado warning, everyone run to your cars and get out.
00:28:16.780And then six people had died or more, and there could have been a lot more.
00:28:21.920Now they're really liable because they went against standard safety protocols when it comes to tornadoes, which again, the standard safety protocol is stay where you are, hunker down.
00:28:33.180Unless you're in a car, that's the only time you're supposed to leave.
00:28:35.980If you're in a car, try to park somewhere and get to a structure if you can.
00:28:39.700Um, and then the second thing about, well, there were tornadoes in the forecast and they had their employees come to work anyway.
00:28:48.320Again, if you live in a tornado prone area, you already know this.
00:28:51.220There are tornadoes potentially in the forecast, like 200 days of the year.
00:28:56.440A tornado watch just means that the, that the, that the atmospheric conditions are such that there could be tornadoes, but you can't shut down work every time there's, there could potentially be a tornado.
00:29:07.960Then if you live in, in some of these, if you live in Kansas or something, you'll never go to work because it's almost every day.
00:29:15.000There's a potential, especially in the summer.
00:29:18.240So that's all that it means is there's tornadoes in the forecast.
00:29:21.560It just means that like there could be somewhere a tornado or maybe not because that those, those are the weather conditions.
00:29:28.160But you still basically go about your day under a tornado watch.
00:29:31.060Tornado warning means, okay, now we've seen a funnel cloud.
00:29:34.460It's out there, but it's too late to, you know, evacuate the town or something.
00:29:41.280There's a reason why you don't hear about towns evacuating in the lead up toward tornado.
00:29:48.180Like they do with hurricanes because tornadoes are different than hurricanes.
00:29:51.340Hurricanes are these big lumbering things that start out there, uh, over, over the ocean.
00:29:55.800And you can see them literally from a thousand miles away.
00:29:58.620And the only speculation is what course they'll take and how strong the winds will be by the time they get to you.
00:30:03.280But as it gets closer and closer, you get a better idea.
00:30:05.700And then, and then at a certain point, you, you really know with a fair amount of certainty where it's going to land and basically how strong it will be.
00:30:11.700And so then you can, you can evacuate far ahead of time.
00:30:26.660So I don't think it's fair to hit Amazon on either of those points.
00:30:30.520Um, but being that they were in a relatively tornado prone area, if they didn't have any kind of shelter within the building, then I think you, I think that you can hold them at fault for that.
00:30:45.620I think they claim that they did have a shelter, but some of the employees chose not to enter the shelter for whatever reason.
00:30:50.700I don't know if that's true or not, but if they didn't have a shelter, that's a problem.
00:30:53.900But these other things, I wouldn't, I wouldn't go after them for that.
00:30:56.520I think these are, these are people who don't understand tornadoes or how they work.
00:31:06.540This is an interesting and instructive video.
00:31:09.600Leah Thomas, quote unquote, Leah Thomas, uh, is the male swimmer at, uh, University of Pennsylvania.
00:31:18.080You know, you remember this story we've talked about the last, you know, over the last week, uh, he was, I don't know if he was a, he wasn't, I don't think he qualified as necessarily a top male athlete as, as a swimmer for the first three years of his college career.
00:31:33.580But he was, he was certainly competitive.
00:31:35.220He was a competitive male athlete as a swimmer for three years in his final year.
00:31:43.140And he decides to go over and compete against the women.
00:31:45.920And now he's dominating the competition, dominating because he was competitive.
00:31:52.420This is different from some of these other cases where you've got very mediocre male athletes or, or poor male athletes who, um, come over to the female side and they win pretty handily, but it's not the same level of domination.
