Today on the Matt Wall Show, politicians in D.C. ship $40 billion off to Ukraine,
00:00:04.460
while babies in our country don't even have enough food to eat. The priorities here seem
00:00:07.860
to be wildly out of whack. Also, the White House explicitly encourages more illegal protests out
00:00:12.300
of judges' homes. The Treasury Secretary worries about the economic impact of killing fewer babies.
00:00:17.460
Britney Spears fans are now worried about her mental health after mobilizing to get her freed
00:00:21.360
from her conservatorship. Perhaps they should have been more careful of what they wished for.
00:00:25.180
In an ideally cancellation, a local weatherman is smeared by the national media as a racist
00:00:29.440
because of something he tweeted about an NBA player, but was the comment actually racist?
00:00:33.660
We'll talk about all that and more today on the Matt Wall Show.
00:00:45.020
You know, right now there are 50 million kids attending America's public schools. The left
00:00:49.240
isn't even trying to hide it anymore. They have made it clear that their intention is to indoctrinate
00:00:53.320
the next generation in their ideology. Real world skills like reading, writing, arithmetic,
00:00:57.640
and American history have been replaced with social justice, gender confusion, test-driven
00:01:01.860
instruction in the classroom. Thankfully, you have a choice, and this is why Freedom Project
00:01:06.360
Academy was created. Freedom Project Academy is an accredited classical online school built on
00:01:11.240
Judeo-Christian values for students in kindergarten through high school. Freedom Project Academy has
00:01:15.920
taken the interaction of the traditional classroom and created an online atmosphere where students
00:01:19.920
across the country are instructed by live teachers in small classes who teach students how to think,
00:01:25.360
not what to think. So go to freedomforschool.com and request your free information packet today.

00:01:45.680
With our country ravaged by crisis after crisis and now facing inflation worse than anything we've seen
00:01:52.260
in my lifetime, in 40 years in fact, our leaders in D.C. have decided that now is the best time
00:01:57.120
to ship a little gift basket to Ukraine. Actually, it's a rather large gift basket and inside,
00:02:03.160
among other prizes and goodies, is $40 billion. The House yesterday, with the help of a majority of
00:02:08.680
Republicans, along with every Democrat, of course, last night, voted for and approved an additional
00:02:14.340
$40 billion to Ukraine. And when we say to Ukraine, we mean specifically to the government
00:02:22.200
of Ukraine, a government that happens to be among the most corrupt in the entire world,
00:02:27.260
a government which is also, most importantly, foreign. We are sending billions to a foreign
00:02:32.600
government. Billions more, I should say. As Representative Thomas Massey points out,
00:02:36.260
this is just the latest bundle of aid that we've sent to Ukraine. And when you add together
00:02:41.480
everything we've sent to the Ukrainian government over the past six months, you find that we have
00:02:45.040
spent more on Ukraine in half a year than we've spent on building roads and bridges in our own
00:02:50.800
country over the past entire year. Now, do we know exactly how this money will be spent? Will there
00:02:57.680
be any accountability? Do we, as the American taxpayers funding these sugar daddy payments,
00:03:03.500
have any ability whatsoever to influence or determine the manner in which this money is spent?
00:03:09.300
Do we directly benefit from these expenditures? Will giving your money to the Ukrainian government
00:03:14.360
help your family? I mean, isn't it a form of taxation without representation when money is sent to a
00:03:20.300
government that we, as the taxpayers, have no say in or influence over? The answer to that last
00:03:25.840
question is, of course, yes. As to all the rest, the answer is no, no, no, and no.
00:03:31.240
So how can this be justified? How can our leaders, especially now, given the dire economic straits
00:03:37.240
that our country is in, somehow justify sending another blank check to some foreign country 6,000
00:03:43.220
miles away? Well, Nancy Pelosi has an answer to that question, and she found it somehow
00:03:47.640
in scripture, if you can believe it. Listen to this.
00:03:51.600
The brutality of Putin is not just what he's doing in Ukraine, but the impact that it is having on food
00:03:59.400
for the world. So when you're home thinking, what is this all about? Just think about when I was hungry,
00:04:07.400
you fed me in the Gospel of Matthew. It also is so pleased that Mr. Meeks, the chairman of the Foreign
00:04:14.660
Affairs Committee, was with us because we talked about sanctions, which are a product of his committee.
00:04:21.480
So this is what happens when you quote the Bible without ever having once in your life open the
00:04:28.080
book to read it yourself. You might then embarrass yourself by claiming that when Jesus said feed the
00:04:32.900
hungry, he meant that we should line the pockets of corrupt foreign bureaucrats, politicians, and
00:04:37.760
defense contractors. That's what he meant by the hungry. And we have to do this because, as Mitch
00:04:43.740
McConnell explains, the situation in Ukraine is the most important thing going on in the entire world
00:04:49.620
right now. Listen. Everyone, I think we all agree the most important thing going on in the world
00:04:58.260
right now is the war in Ukraine. I had a chance to call the president last week and request that the
00:05:05.880
Ukraine package move by itself and quickly. He said, let me think it over. He called back in about 15
00:05:15.980
minutes and agreed that we need to do this Ukraine only and quickly. I think we're on the path to
00:05:25.860
getting that done. Discussions are underway between the House and Senate appropriators on the crafting
00:05:32.200
of the package. It needs to be clean of extraneous matters directly related to helping the Ukrainians
00:05:39.060
win the war. Ukraine only. Ukraine first. Make Ukraine great again. Always remember my rule of
00:05:48.620
bipartisanship, which is that if both parties want to do something and can actually agree on it,
00:05:53.680
that only means that the idea is so uniquely terrible that it managed to appeal to both sides.
00:05:58.880
If Democrats are the only ones who want to do something, it's always a bad idea. If Republicans
00:06:04.660
are the only ones who want to do something, it's very often a bad idea, especially if it's the
00:06:08.660
establishment or the Republican Party in DC. But if they both together are looking at each other and
00:06:14.480
say, yeah, this is a great idea, guys, let's do it. A hundred percent of the time, it's a bad idea.
00:06:21.500
Now McConnell says that we can all agree that Ukraine is the most important thing in the world right
00:06:27.180
now. And when he says all, he means literally just the people in that room and elsewhere in the
00:06:32.380
building. Because if you go outside of that room and you travel, say to, I don't know, the nearest
00:06:36.940
gas station, you will not find a single person, not a single one who identifies Ukraine as their
00:06:46.060
highest priority. It is a special sickness of American politicians that they always think the
00:06:52.400
most important needs in the world are the needs of people who are not American. And that is certainly
00:06:58.380
not the way that most Americans see it, however. In fact, I would have a difficult time listing all
00:07:03.620
the things that are more important to me than Ukraine because the list would be far too long.
00:07:08.820
Suffice it to say that anything and everything which directly impacts my family, my community,
00:07:13.780
and my countrymen is more important to me than Ukraine. The very existence of Ukraine as a country
00:07:20.960
is not as important to me. It's actually not that important to me at all, in fact.
00:07:25.480
And I'll give you something that is certainly far, far more important than Ukraine and which should
00:07:31.400
be, at this point, the top priority of every politician in D.C. if they weren't busy figuring
00:07:35.480
out how to make Ukrainian bureaucrats richer, and that is the baby formula shortage. There is a
00:07:41.400
nationwide shortage of baby formula that has reached crisis levels. CNN, which has finally decided
00:07:47.160
to begrudgingly acknowledge this problem, reports today, quote, and some of these numbers are just
00:07:53.840
shocking. So listen to this. For months, stores nationwide have been struggling to stock enough
00:07:58.160
baby formula. Manufacturers say they're producing at full capacity and making as much formula as they
00:08:03.400
can, but it's still not enough to meet current demand. The out-of-stock rate for baby formula hovered
00:08:08.100
between 2% and 8% in the first half of 2021, like right when Biden got into office, but began rising
00:08:15.520
sharply last July. Between November 2021 and early April 2022, the out-of-stock rate jumped to 31%.
00:08:22.640
That rate increased another 9% points in just three weeks in April, and now stands at 40%.
00:08:29.960
In six states, Iowa, South Dakota, North Dakota, Missouri, Texas, and Tennessee, more than half of
00:08:36.280
baby formula was completely sold out during the week starting April 24th. And although seven states had
00:08:41.520
between 40-50% of baby formula products out of stock as of early April, 26 states are now struggling
00:08:46.780
with supply. Many stores are now, as I mentioned yesterday, they're rationing baby formula. Some
00:08:53.220
parents report having to drive hours just to find a single container of it. And this is a major problem
00:08:59.680
because, and this I think comes maybe as a surprise to non-parents, it certainly, it did surprise me,
00:09:05.240
y'all admit. And that is that breastfeeding is not an easy or automatic thing. Some women are not able
00:09:12.980
to breastfeed at all for a variety of reasons. In many cases, as was the case with our twins,
00:09:17.500
breastfeeding has to be supplemented with formula to make sure the babies get all the nutrients they
00:09:20.960
need. It's possible to make formula at home, but if you don't do it right or use the correct
00:09:27.000
ingredients, you could deprive your child of the nutrition that he needs to grow or even just survive.
00:09:31.020
You know, some people trying to dismiss this problem have just waved their hands and said,
00:09:36.060
well, what did people do before prepackaged baby formula existed?
00:09:40.360
The answer is that lots of babies were malnourished and many of them died. That's what people did.
00:09:48.160
The infant mortality rate was astronomical everywhere in pre-modern times. That had a lot
00:09:53.180
to do with diseases and the lack of proper medicine and modern medicine, but also a lack of proper
00:09:57.880
nutrition played a significant role. So why is this happening? Now, apologists for the Biden
00:10:05.400
administration have tried to blame, of course, everyone and everything, but Biden and his
00:10:11.000
administration, they point to the pandemic, the supply chain, one source of the problem. They say
00:10:16.120
they also note that Abbott Nutrition, which is a manufacturer of baby formula, recalled three of its
00:10:21.380
products because of possible bacterial contamination. And that happened a few months ago. And that's true.
00:10:27.220
But what they fail to mention is that the FDA, a federal agency controlled by the administration,
00:10:32.740
has made the problem exponentially worse, as always. There is a vast surplus of baby formula in
00:10:40.660
Europe, which could be imported to the US to help solve this problem. But the FDA has made importing
00:10:46.020
much of it illegal because they have not approved the European formula, despite the fact that it's
00:10:51.280
perfectly safe and it's used by millions of parents and consumed by millions of babies in Europe
00:10:56.260
without any problem. So as usual, bureaucracy walls off potential solutions to major problems
00:11:05.160
with regulation and red tape. That's a big part of this story. Now, of course, the FDA isn't the only
00:11:11.840
culprit here. They're simply being as useless, onerous and counterproductive as they always are.
00:11:17.040
And the shortage cannot be blamed entirely on Biden, obviously. But the great sin committed by Biden and
00:11:23.460
our other leaders in D.C. when it comes to this issue is that they are not focused on trying to
00:11:28.060
solve it. I mean, we pay the federal government $4 trillion a year so that they can take care of
00:11:37.480
issues like this. And for all that money that we spend, we should be able to expect that they'll
00:11:43.880
take care of issues like this. Like we are a modern, industrialized Western country and we spend
00:11:52.620
$4 trillion a year on this government. We should not have babies potentially starving because they
00:11:59.640
don't have enough formula. But we do because, you know, our politicians that are worried about Ukraine
00:12:06.980
and about a thousand other things that should be much further down the list of priorities,
00:12:11.720
if those things even make it on the list at all. As I pointed out yesterday, we've heard more from
00:12:18.540
the federal government about the student loan crisis than we have about this crisis.
00:12:24.380
They have greater concern for graduate students whining about their bills than for infants who don't
00:12:30.700
have enough food to eat. Infantilized adults taking priority over actual infants. Just as Ukrainian
00:12:39.540
bureaucrats take priority over infants in this country. There are many different comparisons that
00:12:44.820
put this into perspective. And all in all, the picture here is that our politicians have many priorities.
00:12:52.320
None of them include doing the job that we actually put them there to do. Now let's get to our five headlines.
00:13:00.700
You ever notice it when stores are trying to sell products they know next to nothing about? Maybe
00:13:10.260
they push the shoes that are shoes that are most popular rather than the ones that actually fit your
00:13:14.100
feet. Well, I like rockauto.com because what they know is auto parts and all they sell is auto parts
00:13:19.600
and related tools. Rock Auto is a family business founded by automotive engineers over 20 years ago.
00:13:24.800
Their original goal was and still is to make auto parts available and affordable so customers can keep
00:13:29.300
their daily drivers and classic cars safely on the road every day. Rockauto.com's online parts catalog
00:13:36.060
is uniquely easy to use. You quickly see all the parts available for your specific car or your SUV or
00:13:41.600
truck, whatever you drive. There are photos, specs, and installation tips to help you pick the best parts
00:13:45.540
to meet your vehicle's needs. Rockauto.com will not only have the part, but usually they'll give you
00:13:50.120
several trusted brands to choose from. Rock Auto's kits are also popular because they bundle together all the
00:13:55.260
parts needed for a successful repair. You don't get halfway through installing a timing bell to
00:14:00.040
discover you need another pulley. Professional mechanics and do-it-yourselfers always pay the
00:14:04.000
same reliably low prices with rockauto.com. So go to rockauto.com, get the brakes, shocks, carpet,
00:14:09.160
wipers, headlights, mirrors, mufflers, lug nuts, or any other part you need. Be sure to check Walsh in
00:14:13.720
there. How did you hear about us, Fox? So they know that I sent you. And the other thing to keep
00:14:17.900
in mind too, by the way, when you hear about the, you know, as we're now starting finally to hear
00:14:22.540
about the baby formula shortage problem, and this is a problem that's been brewing for months and has
00:14:27.240
been a problem for months, and we're just starting to hear about it because the media has no choice now
00:14:32.300
but to report on it. And along with the recall, and they're going to blame that, and I already explained
00:14:39.500
how, you know, that, yeah, some of that goes back to the FDA though, because they're preventing us from
00:14:44.840
solving that problem. But the other thing is this claim that, well, it's because of the pandemic, the
00:14:51.180
pandemic-related supply chain issues. Well, always remember when you hear that as an explanation or an
00:14:58.100
excuse for any of the problems we're suffering through right now, including the baby formula,
00:15:02.300
shortage. When they hear it, well, it's pandemic-related. No, it's not pandemic-related.
00:15:08.140
There is no reason why COVID itself would have caused a supply chain problem.
00:15:14.400
There is no reason why COVID itself, the virus, would have stopped us from having enough baby formula.
00:15:22.120
No, that all stems from the policies that were put in place in this country and in countries across
00:15:28.060
the world. It was the decision by politicians, many of them still in power in DC right now,
00:15:35.100
to shut the world down for no reason, ostensibly because of COVID. That's what it comes back to.
00:15:42.960
It's not pandemic. It's not COVID. It's them and their policies. So in the end, it does all come back to
00:15:50.600
them. And speaking of them, Jen Psaki is not exactly discouraging more illegal protests at
00:16:00.560
the Supreme Court, which are, again, we should continue to note, illegal federal crimes. You
00:16:06.360
cannot do this. It's actually not everyone when you see this footage and you think, well, how is that
00:16:11.300
legal to gather an angry mob outside of a Supreme Court justice's house, try to get them to change
00:16:18.020
their mind about something? How is that legal? Well, the good news is it's actually not legal.
00:16:22.400
The bad news is that the people in charge of enforcing the law are not going to do it.
00:16:27.280
And in fact, they're going the other way. Listen to what Jen Psaki said yesterday. Listen.
00:16:31.320
I know that there's an outrage right now, I guess, about protests that have been peaceful to date.
00:16:37.000
And we certainly continue to encourage that outside of judges' homes. And that's the president's
00:16:41.420
position. We certainly continue to encourage that. What is that?
00:16:48.440
Protests. Now, they're going to explain that away by saying, well, she meant encourage it to be
00:16:56.920
peaceful. Well, one way or another, you are encouraging, quote, peaceful protests.
00:17:04.860
When they're actually not peaceful at all. Okay, and they don't need to start throwing Molotov
00:17:10.820
cocktails. I mean, they've already done that. Pro-abortion militants and terrorists have already
00:17:15.400
been throwing Molotov cocktails. And there's no question that eventually it's going to get to the
00:17:22.320
point of actual physical violence. But it's not really peaceful when, number one, it's against the
00:17:27.380
law. And number two, the intention behind the, quote, unquote, protest is to intimidate.
00:17:35.360
Not only that, but to intimidate a judge to change his decision
00:17:38.820
on a case. That, it's hard to call that peaceful.
00:17:45.620
Because there's always, there is the, the threat of violence,
00:17:49.420
which is bubbling always under the surface here.
00:17:53.300
That's the context. Okay. That's the, that's the implication of all of this.
00:18:02.540
The only reason that you, that's the only reason that you show up. The only reason that you show up
00:18:06.660
to somebody's house. I mean, it's one thing if you're picketing outside of a government facility,
00:18:11.500
if you want to go outside of the Supreme Court itself and protest, well, you have the right to do
00:18:15.720
that. But the only reason that you go to somebody's house is to send the message that number one, we
00:18:22.700
know where you live. And number two, therefore you are not safe. So no matter what the protesters do
00:18:33.040
when they get there, it is not peaceful. And Jen Psaki and by administration knows that, but they are
00:18:38.060
openly now, you want to talk about calling for an insurrection. They are openly calling for their
00:18:43.280
supporters to break federal law, to influence a Supreme Court decision. What you just heard from
00:18:49.940
Jen Psaki is goes way further than anything that Donald Trump said on January 6th, because the fact
00:18:59.800
Donald Trump did not at any point tell anyone to break the law. He didn't say, oh, invade the Capitol
00:19:08.060
building, but do it peacefully. I mean, if he had done that, then it's, I mean, it's game over. He
00:19:14.560
told, he told them to go break the law. That's exactly what we just heard from the White House
00:19:19.980
there. Yeah. Break federal law, but do it peacefully. Meanwhile, we've got Nancy Pelosi. We just heard
00:19:29.140
from her, but she was also talking about, you know, she, she is of course outraged by the fact that,
00:19:33.500
that more babies are going to live and not be killed. And here she is reminiscing about the
00:19:39.840
Republican party of old, which was, she says, you know, among other things, pro-abortion. Listen.
00:19:47.320
The fossil fuel industry, they weigh in so significantly. I mean, how could it be
00:19:57.560
that nobody on the Senate side cares, and the Senate cares about climate? Some of them do,
00:20:07.160
and they talk about it. When it comes to the votes, it just isn't there. They're just aren't there. So
00:20:12.960
rather than saying, well, we have to defeat them. No, let's just try to persuade them.
00:20:17.740
I want the Republican party to take back the party, take it back to where you were, where you cared about
00:20:23.440
a woman's right to choose, and you cared about the environment. Here I am, Nancy Pelosi, saying this
00:20:37.760
country needs a strong Republican party, and we do. Not a cult, but a strong Republican party.
00:20:45.820
Yes, let's go back to when the Republican party was pro-abortion. When was that exactly? I mean,
00:20:49.860
she's right in a sense that the Republican party has historically been, if not actively pro-abortion,
00:20:57.960
at least submissive on the issue, and still largely is. And that's really what she's calling for,
00:21:05.040
is just, hey, look, this is always the message from Democrats, which is, we can get along,
00:21:11.620
and we can all be friends, or at least act like it, as long as you do exactly what I want you to do.
00:21:16.500
Just stay out of my way, cooperate with everything that I want to do, and there will be no problem.
00:21:24.380
We can have bipartisanship. In fact, in that case. Now we have Janet Yellen, who's the Treasury
00:21:31.560
Secretary, and she was testifying yesterday in front of a Senate committee about
00:21:36.740
the effects of abortion on the economy. They brought her in to talk about how it might
00:21:44.160
hurt the economy if we stop killing babies, or not stop killing them, but rather if we slow the rate
00:21:52.740
by which we are murdering babies, it will maybe hurt the economy. She's very concerned about that.
00:21:59.500
If the draft of the court's majority holding in Roe versus Wade is the actual decision,
00:22:07.360
what impact will the loss of abortion access mean economically for women?
00:22:11.000
Well, I believe that eliminating the right of women to make decisions about when and whether to have
00:22:19.100
children would have very damaging effects on the economy and would set women back decades.
00:22:27.600
Roe v. Wade, in access to reproductive health care, including abortion, helped lead to increased
00:22:35.000
labor force participation. It enabled many women to finish school. That increased their earning
00:22:43.400
potential. It allowed women to plan and balance their families and careers. And research also shows
00:22:51.600
that it had a favorable impact on the well-being and earnings of children.
00:22:58.700
All right. So we heard from her there. She's concerned that abortion will hurt the economy because
00:23:05.740
it'll stop women from participating in the workforce. We have to kill babies in order to help the
00:23:12.300
economy. This is, again, we have to remind ourselves, that's eugenics. That's what eugenics is.
00:23:18.820
Getting rid of the undesirables, the people that are slowing everything down, bringing the economy down,
00:23:29.540
just exterminate them for the sake of the economy, for this very kind of utilitarian reason.
00:23:35.440
That's just a form of eugenics, really. And on top of being morally atrocious, which it is for so many
00:23:46.900
reasons, number one being you're totally disregarding and ignoring the humanity and dignity and worth of
00:23:55.240
the child. But also, it's again this message to women, which is that you have to choose between your
00:24:03.720
child and your career. You can be successful professionally, or you can be a mother.
00:24:12.140
And you have to choose one or the other. And the right choice, in fact, is to choose your career and
00:24:15.840
kill your child. That's the message, which is not so subtly embedded in what you just heard there.
00:24:24.240
And our response to that, by the way, I think there's a little bit of nuance here that we have
00:24:30.580
to keep in mind. Because I think sometimes conservatives will respond to claims like that
00:24:36.180
by saying, oh, that's absurd. You could be a mother, you can have your kid, and you can have
00:24:41.860
everything. You can have all the financial success in the world. Lots of times, people will use someone
00:24:46.160
like Amy Coney Barrett as an example. I mean, she's adopted kids. She has biological kids. She has,
00:24:53.900
what is it, five or six kids now. And she's on the Supreme Court. I mean, she's had enormous
00:24:59.000
professional success. She's made it all the way to the very pinnacle of her career while being a
00:25:04.180
mother to five or six kids. And they use that kind of as an example. And that's true, and that's a
00:25:12.000
great point to bring up. But we should also acknowledge that very often there are going to be
00:25:19.140
trade-offs. And if you have kids, there are exceptions to this. There's no guarantee. I mean,
00:25:28.940
you kind of make your own path in life. But yeah, when you have kids, there's certainly a financial
00:25:36.700
sacrifice that goes with that. There's sacrifices that you make in your lifestyle. That's true.
00:25:44.840
And I don't think we want to, we're not hiding from that. We shouldn't hide from that.
00:25:49.820
I mean, we shouldn't respond to that by acting like, oh, having a kid will have no impact at all
00:25:54.300
financially, and everything will be fine. No, I know that, I know that that's the case in my own
00:26:00.720
family. Anyone with kids, you know that. You know, when you have kids, we have four kids, you end up
00:26:07.140
living a more humble life than you otherwise maybe could have afforded to live. You're going to have
00:26:13.360
less spending money, you're going to have less ability to go on nice vacations, and all these
00:26:18.360
kinds of things. I mean, you are making sacrifices. But the sacrifice is worth it.
00:26:27.160
I mean, what you get in exchange for that is a family, is fulfillment,
00:26:31.360
fulfillment, is purpose, is love, is legacy. You know, you have something you're going to leave
00:26:43.020
behind when you finally are released from this mortal coil. So yeah, the sacrifices are there,
00:26:51.000
but that's what you get instead. Because as it turns out, we are not all just cogs in the economic
00:26:58.780
machine. Which is the interesting thing, because on the left, you know, they also, they pretend to be
00:27:06.280
anti-capitalist and all this kind of stuff. But at the same time, they make us all seem like that's
00:27:11.000
all we are. And especially if you're a woman, the greatest thing you could hope to be in life
00:27:15.560
is, you know, to get a position in management at some corporation.
00:27:21.700
To have a nice cubicle, or even better, an office somewhere, in an office building,
00:27:25.400
a skyscraper, like that's, that is the pinnacle of human existence. Say the alleged anti-capitalists.
00:27:33.740
It's not. When you decide to have kids, when you have a family, you get something much greater
00:27:37.700
and deeper than that. And there are sacrifices, but anything in life worth having, there are going
00:27:43.440
to be sacrifices that come with it. All right, let's go to this from the Daily Mail. It says,
00:27:50.900
now, I want you to, I'm going to read this article as it was written. Okay, because that's really the
00:28:00.280
main point I want to make about this, is the way that this is written. Okay. From the Daily Mail,
00:28:05.300
it says, a transgender mother who forced the seven-year-old daughter she fathered to engage
00:28:11.240
in child pornography at her New Jersey home has been jailed for 25 years without parole,
00:28:15.920
along with three accomplices. Marina Volz, previously named Matthew, was sentenced on Friday
00:28:22.740
alongside another transgender woman, Ashley Romero, previously named Adam, and two other offenders,
00:28:28.320
Sean Allen and Dolcina Necco, 21. Volz32 ran a, quote, family-owned transgender pornography
00:28:37.320
production studio specializing in amateur BDSM and taboo fetish content from her home in Franklin
00:28:44.860
Township. And it goes further into the details, which I'm not even going to read because it's
00:28:51.980
totally horrifying. I mean, what they did to this child is just beyond description. And the fact that
00:28:58.000
we're, I mean, 25 years in jail for sexually torturing your child is, that's a slap on the wrist.
00:29:08.720
I mean, you might as well give them, you might as well just put them in county lockup for a day
00:29:14.720
in comparison to what the penalty ought to be. I mean, just think about that. In the United States
00:29:22.460
of America, this is someone sexually torturing and exploiting their own child, and they're going to
00:29:28.960
see the outside of a jail cell. In fact, he's going to be 25 years, they say, without the possibility
00:29:37.260
of parole. We'll see about that. Even if he spends every day of that in jail, he'll be out by the age
00:29:44.140
of late 50s, early 60s. No, this should be, you're convicted of it. And then the very next day, we,
00:29:57.200
you know, take you up to the, to the gallows and we take care of the problem.
00:30:05.200
Public execution would be the really the best solution here for somebody like that. But on top
00:30:11.200
of that, we are respecting the pronouns and self-identification of a child rapist who raped
00:30:20.760
and sexually tortured their, their, his own child. And that's how we end up with a, with a phrase like
00:30:28.480
she fathered, which would be bad enough being as it's completely incoherent.
00:30:36.540
But we're finding that phrase in this article about this person.
00:30:43.160
Because we're afraid about, we're afraid of hurting his feelings.
00:30:49.180
Raped and sexually abused his own child. And we're afraid that if he sees the Daily Mail article,
00:30:58.580
It's total, total moral insanity. All right. This is from the New York Post. It says,
00:31:03.380
Stanford University has launched a hate crime investigation after a noose was found hanging
00:31:07.620
from a tree as at a residence hall. In an email to students and staff, university officials said
00:31:12.700
campus safety authorities immediately removed the noose and retained it as evidence.
00:31:18.980
The official at the university says, we cannot state strongly enough that a noose is a reprehensible
00:31:23.980
symbol of anti-black racism and violence that will not be tolerated on our campus. It is the moral
00:31:29.520
responsibility of those with any knowledge of this incident to come forward. Now I'm only reading
00:31:34.860
this story because I want to go, usually I ignore these stories until it is inevitably revealed that
00:31:41.720
it's a hoax. So I just, I'm gonna go on the record right now and say, this is either a hoax. Now this
00:31:46.060
is, there's, there's two possibilities. Um, one is that it's just a straight up hoax, probably most
00:31:52.300
likely one. The other one is that, and, and often we find in these kinds of stories, it turns out that
00:31:56.780
it was, uh, you know, it's like a tire, tire swing that somebody misinterpreted or a garage door pull
00:32:02.020
famously like at NASCAR. So I'm going to go on the record right now. And I give it about a week until
00:32:07.340
we get the, we get the meek, quiet sort of little update from the police saying, oh yeah, it turns out
00:32:12.860
that, uh, nevermind, just forget about this whole story. And despite that fact, despite the fact that
00:32:20.280
these hoaxes are so common that when you read the story, you already know for near a hundred percent
00:32:26.580
certainty that it is a hoax. Despite that, when they find the quote noose, uh, the statement
00:32:33.840
immediately says, oh, it's a symbol of anti-black racism. I ask again, that has there actually been
00:32:40.360
a real authentic case in the last, in this century, in this century, has there been a real authentic
00:32:47.840
case of a, of an anti-black racist, a white person hanging a noose somewhere as an, as a symbol of
00:32:55.360
racism? Has, has that happened at all anywhere this century? I'm not aware of a single case of it.
00:33:04.120
And I highly doubt that this incident at Stanford in California will, will be the, uh, the first such
00:33:11.560
authentic example in, in the past century, at least. But one thing we can be sure is that, uh,
00:33:19.600
the FBI, federal government, they're going to be on the case here. They sent, what was it? 20 agents
00:33:24.420
to investigate the garage door pull and Bubba Wallace's garage. So how many are they going to
00:33:28.420
send to Stanford? While they have crazed mobs violating federal law and hunting down Supreme
00:33:35.040
Court justice, uh, they don't have time to deal with that. They're going to be over in Stanford looking
00:33:38.520
into this, uh, tire swing or, you know, whatever it was. All right. Another story is from the Daily
00:33:45.160
Wire. It says, Britney Spears elicited concern among her fans after posting a series of full front
00:33:49.960
naked pictures on Instagram on Monday. The photo shows Spears totally nude, except for her hands
00:33:55.300
attempting to cover her breasts and a small heart covering her genitals. Spears, who, uh, has two
00:33:59.780
teenage sons, is currently pregnant with a child, um, wrote, quote, photo jump dump of the last time I was
00:34:06.060
in Mexico before there was a baby inside me. Why the heck do I look 10 years younger on vacation?
00:34:11.300
So this is something that Britney Spears is doing apparently a lot. She just posts these,
00:34:14.960
these naked pictures all the time. She's a 40 year old woman, by the way. And, um, but the story here
00:34:20.420
is that now her fans are concerned. And so now I guess originally when she started doing this,
00:34:24.980
they were kind of into it, but now people are getting concerned about it. They're like,
00:34:28.560
you're a 40 year old woman. You're, you know, you got all the money in the world. What do you do?
00:34:33.180
What is this? What are you doing? And they're very worried about her mental health,
00:34:37.000
which gives me an opportunity. You know, how hesitant I am to do it. And you know how much I
00:34:43.620
hate to do this, but it does give me an opportunity that I have to take advantage of to say,
00:34:48.800
I mean, I told you so. What if Britney Spears is actually insane though? Like we seem to have
00:34:57.540
ruled out that possibility. If she's, if she's actually, I don't know. I don't know what her
00:35:05.500
mental health situation is. Um, but if she's actually psychotic or insane or something,
00:35:14.300
then that's probably why the conservatorship was put in place to begin with. It doesn't justify
00:35:19.380
everything that's been done under the guise of conservatorship, uh, necessarily, but that's why
00:35:24.260
it's there. So all the protesters who for months or years now, some of them showing up at the
00:35:31.480
courtroom demanding, take the conservatorship ship off. Like, do you know something about Britney
00:35:36.340
Spears, Spears' mental health situation that the people involved in this case, the judges and
00:35:43.840
everyone don't know? What information do you have? Because what you're saying is, no, just take it off.
00:35:49.580
But what if she really is not competent, is not able to handle her own affairs?
00:35:56.560
Back when the whole free Britney movement was happening, I did address it one time on the show
00:36:01.520
and I, and I just wanted to remind everybody who, I guess they, they saw a Netflix documentary
00:36:07.180
and because of the documentary, they decided that, oh, Britney Spears, she shouldn't be in a
00:36:11.760
conservatorship. Like that was, to see this documentary, that was enough for them to make a,
00:36:17.380
a judgment about Britney Spears' psychological state and to declare that, no, she's perfectly
00:36:25.440
capable of taking care of herself. She's not a threat to herself or others. And they all got that
00:36:32.120
from a documentary, like 90 minutes. That was all they needed. And my point was, um,
00:36:38.260
how, I wouldn't, I wouldn't, I don't know how you know that. Like, slow down a little bit.
00:36:48.320
Um, I mean, there, there are cases where people are not psychologically fit and who do need
00:36:55.780
conservatorships because they are a danger to themselves and others. Like that does exist in
00:37:00.560
the world. And how do we know that Britney Spears doesn't fall into that category? How do we know that
00:37:06.700
exactly? Because although I admit I haven't followed her career that closely, what I do know about
00:37:11.720
Britney Spears is that she's had multiple public mental breakdowns. And I also know that she lost
00:37:18.900
custody of her kids in California. And as a woman to begin with in any court to lose custody of your
00:37:27.020
kids is almost impossible to do it in California. I mean, you have to be psychotically insane and
00:37:33.160
dangerous. It is very, very difficult as a woman to lose complete custody of your kids, especially
00:37:37.900
in a court in California. And she did. And on top of that, not only a woman, California and rich and
00:37:46.580
famous, and she lost custody of her kids. That's actually all as a common sense kind of guy. That's
00:37:53.120
all I need to know. That's I don't need to know anything else. I already know you've got serious,
00:37:58.220
serious problems if that happened to you in your situation. But all the fans got together and said,
00:38:07.060
free Britney, take her out of the conservatorship. Now, look, if the argument all along was
00:38:11.940
we don't think she should be in a conservatorship under her father, but someone else should be in
00:38:20.400
charge of it, then that's a different. Again, I still wouldn't, there would still be a question
00:38:24.560
about how you could possibly make that judgment as a person in the peanut gallery who has no
00:38:29.540
intimate familiarity with the issue. You don't know Britney Spears. You don't know her father.
00:38:33.720
You don't know anything. You haven't seen the mental health evaluations. You don't know any of
00:38:36.900
that. So how could you possibly make the determination? But that's a different argument.
00:38:42.200
And as much as her dad's been villainized, well, I would say he almost certainly mostly deserves it
00:38:48.600
just based on the fact that he, you know, sent his 16-year-old daughter off to become a sex symbol.
00:38:54.040
I mean, he has a 16-year-old daughter in the 90s dressed as a Catholic schoolgirl singing,
00:38:59.200
you know, hit me baby one more time. So that already tells me that you're a terrible father.
00:39:03.760
So that I'm on board with. If you want to say he's a terrible guy, fine.
00:39:08.320
But that wasn't the argument. The argument was, well, let's just free her completely.
00:39:12.640
And now the people that were in that movement are saying, oh, I don't know. She seems to be kind
00:39:16.380
of crazy. Well, yeah. That's, that's generally that's how you end up. You lose custody of your
00:39:23.240
kids. You end up with a conservatorship. It's because you're crazy. That's, that's how that
00:39:27.780
works. So nicely done, everybody. Give yourselves a pat on the back. Let's get to our daily, or rather
00:39:37.840
All right. What do we got here? So Jesse says, I'm a little triggered by the girl in today's
00:39:56.820
cancellation. She attributed Crocs to depression. Crocs are cool, comfortable, and stylish. They're
00:40:01.640
also good for mowing lawns and grilling. No, I'm going to say my judgment call here is that Crocs
00:40:06.260
are not acceptable. If you're going for the lazy, ugly footwear thing, then socks and sandals are
00:40:14.220
what you want to go. Socks and sandals are totally acceptable in really any circumstance. And so that's
00:40:20.280
where you want to go. But I'm going to say no to the Crocs, unfortunately. Another comment says,
00:40:25.840
Matt's next show, Matt doing a gut-wrenching interpretive dance on the left's latest foibles.
00:40:31.280
That's when I get to a million subscribers. Okay. I get to a, I'm going to tell you this right now.
00:40:34.800
And you know that when I make promises like this, I always keep them. I get to a million subscribers
00:40:39.160
on YouTube and I will do an interpretive dance to express my gratitude. Take that to the bank.
00:40:49.300
Let's see. Lynette says, I was under the impression that the phrase it's okay to not be okay was not
00:40:54.220
intended to encourage succumbing to your situation, but rather acknowledging that your situation is tough
00:40:58.080
and that instead of pretending you're okay, you should identify what's wrong and work to improve
00:41:01.640
your situation. I mean, that may be one way to interpret that cliche of it's okay to not be okay,
00:41:09.680
but that's not, you know, that's, that's not the way that phrase is often used.
00:41:16.920
Maybe that's how it was originally intended, but that's not how it's often used.
00:41:20.820
These days, my issue with it is that it's used as a way of saying,
00:41:24.120
just like we saw in the video, the TikTok video of the woman saying she was depressed.
00:41:29.920
And so she does, you know, she, she doesn't brush her teeth.
00:41:32.460
She doesn't practice good hygiene. She doesn't care.
00:41:36.300
And she put the video out there because she wanted to be applauded for that.
00:41:39.060
And she wanted to be affirmed in that kind of laziness and just sort of giving up and not
00:41:42.940
caring about things. So the way the way the phrase is used in a, in a, in a way that's very
00:41:47.920
much connected to that kind of attitude of, well, hey, just kind of, just kind of live in it.
00:41:52.400
Don't aim up, don't try to overcome. In fact, it's considered offensive these days. If somebody
00:42:01.220
says they have a, especially if they're struggling with something psychologically, they say they're
00:42:05.000
depressed to suggest that there's anything they could do or should do, you know, to take control,
00:42:15.060
to, to, you know, to improve their situation psychologically. That that's offensive to suggest
00:42:22.420
that. I mean, if you're to say something, oh, you're depressed. Well, you know, here's some
00:42:26.200
things maybe you could try to do that might make you feel a little bit better and might improve
00:42:29.120
your situation in life and might, you know, might, might help you see things from a different
00:42:32.260
perspective. Unless all you're allowed to do is say, well, here's some drugs, take those.
00:42:36.700
But anything beyond that is considered offensive. And finally, Lynette says, it's pretty funny how
00:42:44.680
Matt's germophobia completely vanished in the wake of COVID. Yeah, it was something I was noticing
00:42:50.960
about myself recently too, is because before COVID, I admitted to being, you know, basically
00:42:56.540
kind of a germaphobe. And so you would think that if anyone would start wearing the mask and all that,
00:43:03.880
like I would be in that category as someone who's, you know, was worried about germs, but
00:43:08.400
I'm actually after through when COVID started through COVID and now I'm a lot less worried
00:43:14.760
about germs than I ever was before. So I went in the exact opposite direction of what I think a lot
00:43:18.540
of other people. And I think that's because on one hand I had the germophobia going on, but on the
00:43:23.600
other hand, I have the kind of contrarian part of myself. And those two things were very much at war
00:43:28.020
as soon as COVID started and the contrarianism won out, which I think is a, I take that as a
00:43:35.560
success story, I think. Well, you know, there are very few social events that I will willingly
00:43:40.760
subject myself to, let alone enjoy myself out. But Backstage Live happens to be one of them. Not
00:43:46.060
that I, it's not really willing either. I mean, I have to go, but still I do enjoy Backstage Live and
00:43:51.880
I think you'll enjoy it too. So here's your chance to join me and the Daily Wire crew for Backstage Live
00:43:56.020

vaccine mandate to announcing our $100 million challenge to woke Disney with DW kids. Also we
00:44:10.360

Backstage Live at the Ryman in Nashville on June 29th. See you there. Now let's get to our daily
00:44:40.840
cancellation. Today we have many cancellations to hand out, all revolving around a local Fox weatherman
00:44:50.600
in Memphis named Joey Sulopec. Now why do we need to talk about a weatherman in Memphis? I mean,
00:44:55.960
what could he possibly have done to warrant discussion? Well, according to the media,
00:45:00.200
he did a tweet. And not just any tweet, but a racist tweet. Indeed, the headlines, and there are a lot
00:45:05.580
of headlines about this weatherman's tweet, all agree that the tweet was racist and that he is racist
00:45:09.760
and that he likely holds Klan meetings in his basement every Tuesday. Just to give you an idea,
00:45:13.740
here are some of the headlines. Just reading a few. Memphis meteorologists under fire over racist
00:45:19.940
Draymond Green tweet. Local TV meteorologists in Memphis sparks furor with racist comments about
00:45:26.040
warriors Draymond Green. Memphis TV station promises investigation after meteorologists
00:45:30.940
sends racist tweet about warriors Draymond Green. Draymond Green is the target of Memphis meteorologists
00:45:37.900
racial slur. And then Fox 13 TV weatherman makes stunningly racist comment about Draymond Green.
00:45:46.360
Now you'll notice that none of these headlines use the word alleged or purported or possible.
00:45:52.400
If they use any qualifier at all, it's stunning. They simply assert that he used a racial slur and
00:45:58.900
that's the end of it. No further discussion necessary. But if you're wondering what the man actually said,
00:46:05.160
as if such a detail even matters anymore, here's the New York Post article. It says,
00:46:09.180
a Memphis-based meteorologist is under investigation by his employer for using a racial slur in a tweet
00:46:14.820
about Warriors star Draymond Green amid the Grizzlies Warriors playoff series. Fox 13 Memphis chief
00:46:20.360
meteorologist Joey Solopek, who is white, tweeted the following after game three. Get ready for this.
00:46:27.900
Chew on this. Draymond runs his knuckle-dragging open mouth all game long, but mild-mannered
00:46:34.120
Kyle Anderson disputes one call and gets ejected. Next level jackassery.
00:46:40.880
And then it says, Solopek reportedly deleted the tweet after phasing backlash and he later deleted
00:46:44.600
his entire Twitter account. So, that's it. Did you spot the racism? Probably not, seeing as how he
00:46:50.940
didn't say anything even remotely racially charged. He used the term knuckle-dragging to describe Green.
00:46:57.020
That's a common expression, a kind of cliched insult often applied to people of all different races and
00:47:02.640
meant to imply that they are, as the Oxford Dictionary defines the term, a stupid or loutish
00:47:07.280
person. The dictionary makes no mention of any racial connotation, much less does it say that the
00:47:12.120
term is a racial slur. In fact, it has never in my life even occurred to me to interpret knuckle-dragger
00:47:19.140
in a racist way. And it's still not immediately clear to me why it would be racist, aside from the
00:47:24.200
simple fact that it's an insult and we live in a culture so incredibly stupid that literally any
00:47:28.480
insult of a black person is immediately assumed to be racist. But is there more behind it than that?
00:47:33.380
Here's an article on the sports news site marka.com and it provides this explanation. This is what they
00:47:38.080
say. The term knuckle-dragger has long been used by bigots to describe an angry black man. It is meant
00:47:45.600
to compare them to a large and enraged ape such as a gorilla. Wait, what? Since when has knuckle-dragger
00:47:53.800
meant that? I have literally not once in my entire life ever heard anyone use it in that context.
00:48:01.980
In fact, as is so often the case in these kinds of situations, you would have to be extremely racist
00:48:07.380
to actually see the term as racist. If you hear knuckle-dragger and immediately think, oh, he must
00:48:13.240
be saying that black people are apes, then it's you who harbors deeply racist thoughts and ideas
00:48:18.220
within yourself. That's what's known as projecting. Ironically, we see again how the alleged racist
00:48:25.300
villain is actually being penalized for not being racist. The weatherman is so not racist that it
00:48:32.000
never so much has crossed his mind to interpret the term in a racist way. He insulted Draymond Green
00:48:36.920
the same way that he would insult anybody else. He treated Draymond Green as equal. He didn't take his
00:48:43.900
race into consideration one way or another, and for that, his entire career and his life will be
00:48:48.380
destroyed. And on that note, his employer released a statement shortly after the non-racist racist tweet
00:48:53.400
went viral, saying, during Saturday's Memphis Grizzlies game, meteorologist Joey Celepek tweeted
00:48:58.820
a comment that does not reflect the values of Fox 13. We take this matter very seriously and we'll take
00:49:03.980
appropriate action pending a full investigation. Translation, he's gone and he'll never work in the
00:49:10.380
industry ever again. Powerful people in the NBA have already set out to make sure of that part of
00:49:16.060
it. Green's coach, the leftist goober Steve Kerr, actually addressed the tweet during his post-game
00:49:20.640
press conference, and here's what he said. Does it surprise me that a weatherman would tweet a slur
00:49:25.800
at Draymond in 2022? Not in the slightest bit. This is America. This is how we operate.
00:49:33.840
A slur. So we're going with that now. So we're going to call it the K-word? Are we going to get
00:49:42.780
bleeped out if you say knuckle-dragger now? And Kerr, once again, bravely speaking out about the
00:49:48.140
important issues of our time, such as a weatherman's tweet. Steve Kerr, he loves to give his opinion and
00:49:54.160
run his knuckle-dragging mouth about many subjects. That is, unless you ask him about the NBA's
00:49:58.460
relationship with China. That's when he suddenly gets very shy. He'll bravely denounce a weatherman
00:50:03.260
in Memphis, but as for the communist government of China, which his company is in business with,
00:50:07.760
he has much less to say. Nothing at all to say, in fact. Now, be that as it may, Kerr is right,
00:50:12.880
actually. He says that this is what America is and this is what we do here. And he's correct
00:50:18.540
that this is what we do here. At least it's what he does here, along with his leftist compatriots
00:50:23.620
and the media. What they do is entertain themselves and advertise their own faux virtue
00:50:29.740
and exercise their cultural power by destroying the lives of random hapless patsies like this
00:50:35.200
weatherman. Much like they did with the OK sign, they've now simply invented a racial slur out of
00:50:41.940
whole cloth. They've decided arbitrarily that knuckle-dragger is racist. Anybody who uses it in
00:50:47.320
the future or who used it in the past, because these rules could be enforced retroactively, of course,
00:50:51.040
must face the consequences. Your intent doesn't matter. They will determine your intent.
00:50:57.620
They will decide why you said what you said. They get to assign motivation and meaning to your
00:51:04.840
statements after the fact. There's actually any discussion about it. They will tell you what you
00:51:10.560
meant and you will accept it. At least if you're foolish and self-destructive, you'll accept it.
00:51:16.160
And as far as that goes, Solopek is trying to kind of have his cake and eat it too, as far as the
00:51:21.620
apologies go. This is a common mistake that people in this situation make. Before deleting his social
00:51:26.900
media, he issued a statement that attempts to defend himself against the racism charge
00:51:34.440
Well, of course there was no ill intent. Obviously, you didn't mean it in a racist way. We know you
00:51:49.640
didn't mean it that way because the term is, in fact, not a racial slur. We also know you didn't
00:51:53.600
mean it that way because even if you were a raging racist, you wouldn't set your life and career on
00:51:59.040
fire by advertising the fact on Twitter. Well, that's another thing that's always left out of
00:52:05.400
these conversations of, you know, someone says something and, oh, it was racist. Like in this
00:52:10.760
fantasy world where this guy's racist, why would he say that? So you're saying he's not only racist,
00:52:16.420
but he's psychotic on top of it. Because in order to be a person anywhere, but especially a public
00:52:25.620
figure with any kind of platform and to say something intentionally racist, that is racist
00:52:31.260
against black people as a white person. Of course, we know if you're saying racist things about white
00:52:34.820
people that you can totally get away with it. But to do it the other way, you would not only have to
00:52:39.640
be racist, but you would also have to be a psycho. You would have to be a lunatic setting your whole
00:52:44.640
life on fire for no personal benefit. So we all know that's not what happened here. Everyone who's
00:52:51.920
pretending to be offended knows that. The people in the media writing all of these headlines, defaming
00:52:57.360
him, they all know this. Steve Kerr knows it. Nobody's hurt. Nobody's offended. And even if they
00:53:05.700
are offended, who cares? Joey, you didn't do anything wrong. There's nothing to apologize for.
00:53:10.820
By apologizing, you admit guilt, even while in the next breath denying guilt. You have to pick a lane.
00:53:15.880
And the lane you pick should be the one where you punch the cry bullies in the mouth and tell them to
00:53:20.240
get lost. So here's a statement you should have issued, Joey. You should have said,
00:53:24.900
I call Draymond Green a knuckle dragger because I wanted to imply that he's stupid and obnoxious,
00:53:29.840
which he is. The same could be said about the outraged mob lying about me and calling me racist.
00:53:34.640
I do not believe that any of you drama queens and phonies are actually offended. And whether you are
00:53:39.780
or aren't, I do not apologize. God bless. That's the correct response. In fact, Draymond Green himself,
00:53:47.120
interestingly, reacted to the apology on Instagram after the game by saying,
00:53:51.780
don't apologize, stand on it. Now, in context, he didn't mean this as actual encouragement or advice.
00:53:58.300
His real point was simply to amplify the story so as to further ruin Solopec's life. But however
00:54:03.960
insincere his advice was, it was also solid. He's right. Don't apologize. Stand on it.
00:54:09.820
Never bow to the knuckle draggers and the cancel mob. Let them know that it is not you, but rather
00:54:17.980
they who are finally canceled. And we'll leave it there for today. Thanks for watching. Thanks
