| 0:00.0 | Today on The Matt Wall Show, the media narrative in the Jacob Blake shooting is falling apart. |
| 0:04.0 | As the truth emerges, the story we were originally told appears wrong or misleading on a number of |
| 0:09.7 | key points. And we'll talk about that today, but it doesn't matter to the writers who consider |
| 0:13.3 | truth to be in irrelevant detail to them and same for the media. Also five headlines, including the |
| 0:18.6 | none at the RNC convention last night sent in to do battle against the DNC's fake none spiritual |
| 0:24.8 | battle. And there was a clear victor, I think. And in our daily cancellation, I will cancel the New |
| 0:28.8 | York Times for an article that asks us to feel sorry for men who get caught by police while trying |
| 0:35.0 | to have sex with children. Yes, really. All of that coming up in much more a pack show today, |
| 0:39.9 | a lot to cover. We will begin here only hours after the shooting of Jacob Blake by Kenosha police, |
| 0:46.4 | the narrative had already solidified. That's all takes these days. Sometimes not even hours. |

| 1:01.5 | rendered its verdict. Jacob Blake was an unarmed victim, gunned down by police after he stopped to |
| 1:07.4 | instantly break up a fight between two other people. Well, there were questions though. Was he unarmed? |
| 1:14.7 | Was he breaking up a fight? Why was he reaching into the car? What exactly happened between |
| 1:20.1 | Blake and the police right before the shooting? And why were the police there in the first place? |
| 1:24.8 | These were open questions. And now the answers to those questions are finally coming to light. |
| 1:31.5 | And it should not surprise us that the answers don't line up with the narrative as they |
| 1:38.0 | so rarely do these days. So let's go through what we know. First of all, |
| 1:41.5 | according to Wisconsin Media outlet Madison 365, which obtained audio from the police |
| 1:45.6 | scanner on the night of the shooting, Blake's girlfriend had called 911 to report that Blake was |
| 1:51.2 | at her home and was not supposed to be there and had taken her keys and wouldn't give them back. |
