The Matt Walsh Show - Ep. 1468 - Trump Serves Fries While Kamala Serves Lies

00:00:00.000 Today in the Matt Wall Show, Donald Trump clocked in to work a shift at McDonald's in Pennsylvania over the weekend.

00:00:05.480 It was a funny stunt that, of course, sent the left into spasms of rage.

00:00:08.880 Also, Barack Obama absurdly claims that he handed Donald Trump a quote-unquote playbook

00:00:12.960 that would have saved hundreds of thousands of lives during COVID if only Trump had used it.

00:00:17.540 Lizzo hits the campaign trail for Kamala with an interesting pitch.

00:00:20.940 Make America more like Detroit, she says.

00:00:23.240 And a video that went viral over the weekend just may go down as the greatest illustration of government inefficiency ever put to film.

00:00:30.000 We'll talk about all that and more today on the Matt Wall Show.

00:02:53.820 If Donald Trump wins the presidential election in November, which at this point seems probably more likely than not,

00:02:59.900 then what happened yesterday at a McDonald's in Bucks County, Pennsylvania, will encapsulate why he won.

00:03:06.600 Assuming there's a single honest history book in 20 years from now, this will be the moment that the authors used to illustrate the trajectory of the race in its final days.

00:03:16.100 Now, on paper, it was basically just a, you know, classic photo op, the kind of thing that's been done thousands of times before.

00:03:22.680 Donald Trump showed up at the McDonald's, mingled with the employees, learned how to cook fries, served some customers in the drive-thru, talked to reporters, and left.

00:03:30.760 It doesn't sound very remarkable.

00:03:32.880 It certainly doesn't sound like the kind of thing that Trump's opponents should treat like a crisis or anything approaching a crisis.

00:03:38.660 So it's notable that the Kamala Harris campaign, along with the press, are currently having a full-on meltdown over Trump's visit to McDonald's yesterday.

00:03:47.260 And if you want to know why Donald Trump is probably going to win in November, you have to understand exactly why this is happening.

00:03:54.200 You have to understand why they're so threatened by the fact that Trump served French fries for 15 minutes.

00:04:00.080 Now, to give you some idea of what I'm talking about, here's the reaction from MSNBC, where they foamed at the mouth while simultaneously accusing Donald Trump of being crazy much.

00:04:12.620 I mean, if you're on his campaign, and I know you are certainly not, I'm not making any implication of that, but what is the logic behind this, going to a McDonald's?

00:04:21.640 I mean, we know the guy likes Big Macs and Filet-O-Fish, and he's used the word love to describe the way he feels about the food there before.

00:04:28.780 But what's this about?

00:04:32.060 There's no logic to it. It's a stunt.

00:04:34.860 He has not put forth an economic agenda.

00:04:38.200 He, as you know, appears to be not well.

00:04:42.060 And he's engaged in some really bizarre types of activities during this campaign.

00:04:48.500 So this is just another one of those stunts that he will continue on through the campaign.

00:04:55.160 And I think that we need to really focus on making sure that he is not elected, of course, because he is a threat to our democracy.

00:05:02.580 But also, the Harris Law's agenda is about the economy, reducing the cost of living, reducing the cost of prescription drugs, reducing the cost of housing, and making life better for everyone.

00:05:14.800 And that's what we have to focus on and make sure we get every voter to the polls and make sure that the voters vote for the future, not taking the country backwards, as you see what Donald Trump continues to try to do.

00:05:28.420 So I'm urging and encouraging everyone to get to the polls and vote for Kamala Harris and Tim Walsh to be their next president and vice president.

00:05:37.360 Now, MSNBC claims that they have no idea why Donald Trump went to McDonald's.

00:05:42.460 Maybe he likes Big Macs, they suggest.

00:05:45.140 But probably he's just losing his mind.

00:05:48.320 Now, of course, they know exactly why Donald Trump was there.

00:05:50.860 On the stump, Kamala Harris, has repeatedly claimed that she worked at McDonald's in the 1980s.

00:05:56.960 But the company says that it has no record of her employment, and Kamala's been unwilling to provide any evidence that she was employed by McDonald's.

00:06:05.600 Additionally, the Washington Free Beacon found that neither of Harris's memoirs makes any mention of a job at McDonald's.

00:06:10.940 The first time she publicly mentioned the job was decades after the fact at a political rally in 2019.

00:06:15.820 And then there's this, quote,

00:06:17.520 The Free Beacon also obtained a copy of Harris's October 1987 job application for a law clerk position in the Alameda County District Attorney's Office.

00:06:26.120 On that form, Harris, who was in law school at the time, listed several jobs, including a month-long clerical job at a stock brokerage,

00:06:32.620 in a section that asked her to list every position she held in the last 10 years.

00:06:36.980 McDonald's is absent.

00:06:38.380 Now, on top of that, when she speaks about the job, Kamala acts a bit like she does when she talks about the Glock that she allegedly owns.

00:06:47.400 Her speech is halting.

00:06:48.600 Her descriptions are vague.

00:06:50.620 She says that she handled the fries.

00:06:53.800 And Kamala's handlers have changed their mind on why she had the job, too.

00:06:57.960 At one point, they said that it was to pay for college.

00:06:59.720 At another point, they said that she worked at McDonald's to get some extra spending money.

00:07:03.780 It all seems fake, because it probably is fake.

00:07:06.480 Now, on one level, it's obviously very alarming that the Democrats have nominated a candidate who's so phony that she would lie about something like this.

00:07:14.820 I mean, this is the first case of stolen McValor that we've ever seen in politics.

00:07:19.600 It's gratuitous, because it's totally unnecessary.

00:07:22.640 And even worse, she didn't even lie convincingly about it.

00:07:25.440 At the same time, there's no denying that this is maybe the easiest target for mockery that you can possibly imagine.

00:07:32.000 I mean, if SNL were still funny, they'd be doing nonstop skits about this.

00:07:36.480 But SNL isn't really funny anymore, at least not regularly so.

00:07:39.460 So that job has fallen to Donald Trump.

00:07:42.320 And so he showed up to the McDonald's kitchen in Bucks County yesterday, worked for about 15 minutes,

00:07:48.100 and declared that he's now worked at McDonald's longer than Kamala Harris worked there.

00:07:54.420 This is an image here that's going to find its way into a lot of retrospectives on the 2024 presidential race.

00:08:01.140 Let's watch.

00:08:03.120 Mr. President, you actually have worked at McDonald's now.

00:08:06.440 Now I have worked at McDonald's.

00:08:08.020 I've now worked for 15 minutes more than Kamala. 0.82

00:08:11.360 Are you going to put this on your resume?

00:08:12.800 I never worked here.

00:08:14.200 Why would she lie about something like that?

00:08:16.760 You've been put on your resume.

00:08:18.380 I worked at McDonald's.

00:08:19.920 Why would she lie about that?

00:08:21.480 Why?

00:08:22.000 Because she's lying Kamala. 1.00

00:08:23.440 So there's a lot to discuss in that short clip.

00:08:28.520 But one thing to notice is that Trump isn't even really being hostile here.

00:08:33.200 He's not coming across as unhinged and unpleasant like the MSNBC panel.

00:08:38.060 In fact, at one point, Trump told reporters in the drive-thru lane that he wished Kamala Harris a happy birthday, which was nice of him.

00:08:43.340 He offered to send her some French fries and even flowers to mark the occasion.

00:08:46.960 So this is some lighthearted mockery that happens to be extremely damaging for Kamala Harris from a political perspective.

00:08:55.940 But a big part of the reason why it's so damaging is that nobody in the corporate press or the Kamala Harris campaign is capable of enduring mockery at their own expense.

00:09:04.200 Instead, by going into hysterics over it, they're revealing that the Trump campaign is right.

00:09:09.240 But they're highlighting the exact vulnerability that the Trump campaign wanted to highlight, which is that everything about Kamala Harris' image is artificial and inflexible. 0.93

00:09:18.740 There's nothing genuine about her or her fake life story.

00:09:22.400 And yesterday, in maybe the most effective way imaginable, Trump made that fact impossible to ignore.

00:09:27.880 And that's why, one by one, every single mainstream outlet has published an article attacking Trump for the crime of cooking a batch of French fries.

00:09:36.240 They went into a fully defensive posture, and they all use pretty much the same language.

00:09:41.660 They all say that Trump is out of line for daring to suggest that maybe Kamala Harris didn't actually work at McDonald's.

00:09:48.060 CNN, for example, reports, quote,

00:09:49.900 Trump has grown fixated on Harris' employment at McDonald's.

00:09:53.260 In interviews and on the campaign trail, he regularly accuses Harris, without evidence, of making up the factoid.

00:09:59.620 The AP, meanwhile, reports, quote,

00:10:01.380 The visit came as Trump has tried to counter Democratic nominee Kamala Harris' accounts on the campaign of working at the fast food chain while in college.

00:10:08.480 An experience that Trump has claimed, without offering evidence, never happened.

00:10:13.080 And here's the LA Times, quote,

00:10:14.200 Trump visits McDonald's after he claimed, with no evidence, that Harris didn't work there during college.

00:10:20.920 And here's one more.

00:10:21.760 This is NBC News, quote,

00:10:22.620 Well, you're probably getting the picture at this point.

00:10:32.120 The entirety of the corporate press, without exception, wants you to know that there's no evidence that Kamala Harris didn't work at McDonald's.

00:10:41.040 So, in other words, Donald Trump has not proved a negative.

00:10:45.340 He has to prove that she did not work there in the 80s.

00:10:49.100 He has not provided, I guess, a detailed point-by-point explanation of exactly what Kamala Harris was doing at every moment during the 1980s.

00:10:57.640 And therefore, he has no right to question her narrative, which is completely backwards, obviously.

00:11:03.600 Kamala is the person who claimed that she worked at McDonald's.

00:11:06.980 She made that claim without providing any evidence.

00:11:09.560 And evidence that'd be easy to provide, by the way, if you worked somewhere, even at any point in your life,

00:11:15.960 it wouldn't be that hard to provide some kind of documentation that you did.

00:11:20.100 I mean, there'd be a record of it.

00:11:23.140 And as I outlined earlier, there is indeed, there is no evidence of that,

00:11:26.780 but there is actually affirmative evidence that she is lying.

00:11:29.720 It's circumstantial evidence, and it's not necessarily conclusive, but it's still evidence.

00:11:34.880 Right now, there's more evidence that she didn't work there than there is evidence that she did work there. 0.95

00:11:40.560 But these media outlets don't say, Kamala Harris says, without evidence, that she worked at McDonald's.

00:11:45.200 Instead, they take her claim as gospel, and they get all huffy when Trump calls her out on it.

00:11:49.900 And they do it in an extremely coordinated fashion that makes it clear all of these outlets are reading from the same script.

00:11:55.100 And that script, as we all know, comes from Kamala's campaign.

00:11:58.920 And as you'd expect, the campaign itself is also melting down over Trump's visit to McDonald's.

00:12:03.500 Kamala Harris's rapid response director, James Singer, wrote, quote,

00:12:06.620 Trump doesn't care about workers, he cares about himself.

00:12:10.080 Here's the clip he embedded in the tweet to support his point.

00:12:13.360 Watch.

00:12:14.360 Minimum wage should be raised.

00:12:15.620 Well, I think this, I think these people work hard, they're great, and I just saw something, a process that's beautiful.

00:12:22.380 It's a beautiful thing to see.

00:12:23.520 These are great franchises and produce a lot of jobs, and it's good.

00:12:27.280 And great people work in here, too.

00:12:28.680 So that's the clip that's supposed to convince us that Trump is a bad guy because he wouldn't immediately say, yes, raise the minimum wage.

00:12:40.480 Which, first of all, the fact that Trump, at 78 years old, was able to learn the ins and outs of cooking fries at McDonald's in about 15 minutes,

00:12:49.620 isn't exactly a strong argument for raising the minimum wage.

00:12:54.320 I mean, if anything, it's an argument for lowering it, but I don't see how it's an argument for raising it.

00:13:01.520 Now, of course, there are plenty of other problems with that whole line of argument.

00:13:04.780 When the state of California raised its minimum wage, thousands of fast food workers lost their jobs,

00:13:09.460 and the price of fast food became more expensive across the board, which, you know, was always, that was always inevitable.

00:13:15.240 Of course, it's going to, that's going to be the result.

00:13:17.380 And that happened within just the last year.

00:13:21.060 This is the pro-worker policy, according to the rapid response director of the Kamala Harris campaign.

00:13:27.640 But that's not even the worst part of this.

00:13:29.320 The worst part of this is that Kamala Harris's campaign is making snippy, dumb political arguments in response to a campaign event 1.00

00:13:38.680 that was just objectively hilarious and effective.

00:13:42.440 I mean, they did the same thing after the Al Smith dinner, and it looks terrible every time they do it.

00:13:48.660 Everyone can see in these clips from McDonald's that the workers loved that Trump was there.

00:13:54.080 He joked around with everyone, from the owner of the franchise to the rank-and-file employees,

00:13:58.560 and they were all enjoying the experience.

00:14:01.860 It's just not possible to spin this kind of footage to create the narrative that they want to create.

00:14:06.080 You end up looking desperate and certainly humorless.

00:14:10.520 Watch.

00:14:12.440 He owns a lot of McDonald's, okay.

00:14:15.720 That's great.

00:14:16.480 Thank you.

00:14:18.000 Okay.

00:14:18.700 Yes, you got it.

00:14:21.180 Can I help?

00:14:22.280 Oh, I think that's good.

00:14:23.440 Do you want to do that?

00:14:24.280 Yeah.

00:14:25.880 Mr. Trump, what's your favorite thing to order at McDonald's?

00:14:28.840 I like it all.

00:14:29.940 I love McDonald's.

00:14:31.060 I'm going to give a really big one so that they're just pouring out of it.

00:14:35.760 How good is that, Margot?

00:14:37.300 Here, Margot, have them. 0.98

00:14:38.220 She's been with me a long time.

00:14:42.740 You're an expert at this, huh?

00:14:44.500 Yes.

00:14:45.000 How long have you done this?

00:14:46.640 How long have you been here?

00:14:48.060 I've been working at McDonald's 10 plus.

00:14:50.200 10 plus?

00:14:51.080 Wow.

00:14:51.540 All different jobs?

00:14:52.820 Yes.

00:14:53.080 Is she doing a good job?

00:14:54.460 She better, right?

00:14:56.200 Excellent.

00:14:56.500 She's beautiful.

00:14:57.740 Thank you.

00:14:58.300 Let's go.

00:14:58.520 So Trump praises the fry cook for his lessons.

00:15:02.160 He asks the woman how long she's worked there.

00:15:04.260 She says 10 years, and he congratulates her.

00:15:06.780 He jokes around with the woman about the apron and his favorite part of McDonald's, and the

00:15:11.020 employees think that it's great.

00:15:13.080 And the response from Kamala Harris' campaign is that Trump was demonstrating that he doesn't

00:15:18.640 care about fast food workers. 0.89

00:15:20.300 They're swooping in to remind these McDonald's workers that they're wrong and that Trump actually

00:15:25.920 hates them.

00:15:26.400 Now, it's not surprising that on social media, the reaction to this post from Kamala's rapid

00:15:32.140 response guy, James Singer, was universally negative because, like, these people exist

00:15:36.660 on a different planet.

00:15:38.420 The reason the trip was successful is that, again and again, Trump expressed interest in

00:15:42.360 everyday people, and those people returned the favor.

00:15:45.220 And this isn't something you can coach.

00:15:47.040 It either comes naturally or it doesn't.

00:15:50.240 You know, instead of reading from a rehearsed script, which is all Kamala Harris can do, 1.00

00:15:53.500 Trump engaged with these employees and customers like human beings.

00:15:58.240 At one point, when a customer in the drive-thru thanked Trump for talking to ordinary people,

00:16:04.100 Trump rejected the idea that the guy was ordinary.

00:16:07.700 Watch this exchange.

00:16:08.640 I could do this all day.

00:16:10.660 I wouldn't mind this job.

00:16:12.300 I like this job.

00:16:13.380 I think I might come back and do it again.

00:16:15.100 Thank you.

00:16:16.800 Look at that.

00:16:17.620 Look at that.

00:16:18.380 Thank you, Mr. President.

00:16:20.360 Thank you, Mr. President.

00:16:20.380 You made it possible for ordinary people like us to meet you.

00:16:25.760 You're not ordinary.

00:16:26.380 I mean, thank you so much.

00:16:27.920 Now, as these videos were shared all over social media, Kamala Harris' campaign continued 0.96

00:16:47.280 to melt down.

00:16:48.160 It was pretty excruciating to watch.

00:16:50.100 The Kamala's Wins X account, which is run by someone who works in the Biden administration,

00:16:56.200 posted, quote, breaking the McDonald's location Trump worked at was cited earlier this year

00:17:01.560 for health code violations.

00:17:03.820 Disgusting.

00:17:06.120 So they're attacking the McDonald's now.

00:17:08.640 Apparently, that's the winning strategy.

00:17:11.800 Team Kamala is going to show how much they care about restaurant workers by calling them

00:17:15.240 disgusting.

00:17:15.760 Meanwhile, Ron Filipkowski, who works for something called Midas Touch, discovered that the McDonald's

00:17:22.740 wasn't, in fact, open to the public at the time of Trump's visit.

00:17:26.340 So he sleuthed that one out.

00:17:28.580 He wrote, quote, so the place wasn't even open.

00:17:31.620 It was all staged and fake.

00:17:33.600 He didn't work for real at a McDonald's.

00:17:35.680 It was a staged fraud, just like every other event.

00:17:38.780 Well, I have to admit, I was shocked by that revelation.

00:17:46.760 I was, you know, because I figured that Donald Trump showed up to McDonald's unannounced,

00:17:51.600 applied for a job, interviewed with the shift manager, was hired, took like a human resources

00:17:59.480 class, you know, studied the employee handbook, filled out all the necessary paperwork, went

00:18:06.320 through training, worked an entire shift, and would be back to work the morning rush the next day.

00:18:14.020 That's what I thought.

00:18:15.920 But it turns out that Trump isn't actually an employee of McDonald's.

00:18:19.280 This is a major scoop by Ron Filipkowski.

00:18:22.460 For their part, the New York Post published an article entitled,

00:18:26.460 Exclusive, I'm an ex-McDonald's chef.

00:18:30.260 Trump has no idea how difficult it is to be a French fry cook.

00:18:34.620 The article contains quotes like this one, quote,

00:18:38.040 Being a McDonald's employee is more difficult than a lot of people imagine.

00:18:41.600 Maintaining a cool temperament is key.

00:18:43.740 As a fry cook, anything can go wrong, which is tough because almost every McDonald's order

00:18:48.020 includes fries.

00:18:48.960 And it goes on and on with all the hardships of working at McDonald's.

00:18:53.520 Now, I know this comes as a shock to our friends on the left, but, you know, it is possible

00:18:58.540 to show that you respect and value somebody without being insanely patronizing.

00:19:06.200 Like, I have nothing against McDonald's employees, but no, it is not difficult to put a batch of

00:19:12.240 frozen French fries into a vat of grease.

00:19:14.360 Like, that's not a difficult, it's not difficult to work fast food.

00:19:18.900 As a general rule, if a 16-year-old can do a job and do it well, that means, by definition,

00:19:24.900 it's not difficult.

00:19:26.620 Like, unless that 16-year-old is a world champion gymnast or something.

00:19:30.280 But when it comes to normal jobs that pay you an hourly wage,

00:19:33.440 the ones that predominantly hire high school kids are not difficult.

00:19:39.380 And it's okay to acknowledge that.

00:19:42.720 You don't have to infantilize these people.

00:19:46.760 But all of this nonsense and this impotent rage from the left tells us two things.

00:19:52.020 First of all, as I mentioned, they know that Kamala Harris is a fraud and they resent anyone

00:19:55.820 who exposes that.

00:19:56.640 But also, this stunt demonstrates, once again, that Donald Trump is the master at hijacking

00:20:01.360 the news cycle.

00:20:02.020 He's also extremely good at retail politics, in part because he's been in public life for

00:20:06.580 so long, in so many different contexts.

00:20:09.800 And here, he's doing both of those things at once.

00:20:11.940 This is a unique talent, especially in this presidential race.

00:20:14.800 The reason that Kamala Harris couldn't pull off this McDonald's stunt is the same reason 1.00

00:20:20.060 that she had to skip the Al Smith dinner.

00:20:21.560 She has none of Trump's redeeming qualities.

00:20:23.280 Trump, by contrast, knows how to be a real person.

00:20:26.820 He knows how to have fun.

00:20:28.640 If Kamala tried the same stunt, it would come off painfully fake and awkward. 1.00

00:20:33.680 And the key here is that Trump, when he's doing something like this, he's not pretending

00:20:39.060 to be a working class guy with lots of experience doing jobs like this.

00:20:44.520 Like, he knows that he's a fish out of water and that's the fun of it.

00:20:48.920 He's having fun with that fact.

00:20:50.320 Like, it is funny to see Donald Trump working the fries at McDonald's.

00:20:55.240 A funny thing to see.

00:20:56.440 And he's always, he is aware of the fact that it's funny.

00:20:58.960 It's why he's doing it.

00:21:01.440 Voters pick up on the authenticity and they respect it.

00:21:04.800 That's why thousands of people were gathered outside the McDonald's to greet him.

00:21:08.520 It's why every interaction Trump had inside the McDonald's was friendly and entertaining

00:21:12.840 and upbeat.

00:21:13.400 It's why the scene looked like this the whole time.

00:21:16.220 We're going to put it right here.

00:21:43.540 We're going to put it slowly and brutal and burn.

00:21:48.840 We're just going to hit a fine time right here.

00:21:50.660 Yeah, right there.

00:21:51.760 Yep.

00:21:53.380 Well, that's our good-looking group.

00:21:55.360 Hello, everybody.

00:21:59.620 This is not a normal situation, is it?

00:22:02.280 What a good-looking family.

00:22:04.320 Oh, thank you.

00:22:04.880 How do you produce those good-looking people?

00:22:07.160 Oh, they look like you're like, how are you?

00:22:10.360 Thank you.

00:22:10.660 All right.

00:22:12.320 We appreciate all of you.

00:22:13.160 Thank you.

00:22:13.600 Let's do it right here.

00:22:14.680 Thank you.

00:22:15.220 We'll have you in the county.

00:22:16.420 There'll be no charge.

00:22:17.620 Trump is paying for it.

00:22:18.640 Is that okay?

00:22:19.460 It's 20-24.

00:22:20.680 Oh, you're good.

00:22:21.240 It's some extra stuff.

00:22:22.400 Oh, okay.

00:22:22.880 Great.

00:22:23.320 This is all on Trump.

00:22:24.560 Oh, okay.

00:22:25.440 I'm allowed to do that, right?

00:22:26.820 Yeah.

00:22:27.480 Let's check and make sure.

00:22:28.740 It's everything you said it would be.

00:22:30.040 It's better be.

00:22:30.560 It's going to be the best.

00:22:31.380 Yeah, but I made it myself.

00:22:32.880 You're the best.

00:22:33.500 Make a burger.

00:22:33.960 That's all right.

00:22:34.620 Compliments of Trump, okay?

00:22:36.200 Yes, thank you.

00:22:37.100 Mr. President, please don't let the United States become Brazil, my native Brazil.

00:22:41.700 Oh, we'll keep it good.

00:22:43.080 Please, please, please.

00:22:43.620 We're going to make it better than ever, okay?

00:22:45.400 Thank you.

00:22:45.980 Thank you.

00:22:46.320 It was a pleasure, Mr. President.

00:22:47.960 So today, the Kamala Harris campaign is still asking how this happened.

00:22:52.700 They're asking how a photo op like this could immediately garner tens of millions of views

00:22:56.840 on every social media platform.

00:22:58.860 They're asking why more than 7,000 people gathered outside the McDonald's to see this.

00:23:03.460 They're asking why everybody, you know, saying that the images from this, everyone's saying

00:23:08.220 the images from this McDonald's look like a Norman Rockwell painting and how they'll end

00:23:12.280 up in the history books.

00:23:13.080 Well, the reason the Kamala campaign can't answer those questions is the same reason they'll

00:23:19.640 likely lose the election.

00:23:21.840 This race is between perhaps the most authentic presidential candidate in modern American history

00:23:26.460 and the most inauthentic.

00:23:29.880 And if the desperate, furious reaction from Kamala Harris's campaign and the corporate press

00:23:35.040 tells us anything, it's that they're now painfully aware which candidate is which.

00:23:40.920 Now, let's get to our five headlines.

00:23:49.260 What is a wireless company?

00:23:50.740 No, it shouldn't be a big data company.

00:23:52.580 No, it shouldn't be a political action campaign.

00:23:54.380 And no, a wireless company shouldn't make you believe you only have two options for data,

00:23:58.420 unlimited or unlimited, and both are stupidly expensive.

00:24:02.260 A wireless company, pure and simple, should connect you to the people and things you love.

00:24:06.500 A wireless company should give you lightning-fast 5G coverage at a lower cost than you're paying

00:24:10.600 today.

00:24:10.860 And a wireless company should have an excellent customer service team based right here in

00:24:14.980 America who can help make switching easy.

00:24:17.380 Essentially, all wireless companies should be like Pure Talk, but unfortunately, they're

00:24:21.700 not.

00:24:22.080 So you should switch right now.

00:24:24.100 And if you do at puretalk.com slash Walsh, you'll also get one free year of Daily Wire Plus

00:24:29.100 where you can stream my new film, Am I Racist, for free starting October 28th, where I'll be

00:24:34.320 debunking yet another leftist myth.

00:24:36.420 But remember, this deal is exclusive.

00:24:38.820 The only way to get it is by going to puretalk.com slash Walsh.

00:24:42.620 Support Pure Talk, a wireless company who wants to be a wireless company and nothing more.

00:24:46.800 And here's the kicker.

00:24:48.060 They also support the same values you do.

00:24:50.360 Remember, it takes courage to stand for your values and takes even more to stand against

00:24:54.300 those who try to silence you.

00:24:55.800 Puretalk.com slash Walsh.

00:24:57.140 That's puretalk.com slash Walsh.

00:24:59.120 So Obama's out campaigning for Kamala Harris, and there was a moment on the trail with Obama

00:25:08.780 over the weekend that was pretty amazing, actually.

00:25:14.520 Let's listen to this.

00:25:16.800 My last year in office, we put together a playbook for how to deal with the eventuality

00:25:24.720 of a pandemic because scientists had been saying with globalization and travel, etc., rising

00:25:33.000 populations, that at some point there was going to be a pandemic.

00:25:37.020 And so I said to my team, I said, we've got to have a plan, just like you do for hurricanes

00:25:41.140 or tornadoes or natural disasters.

00:25:43.920 So we put together this whole playbook.

00:25:45.840 And we ran, we practiced the playbook.

00:25:50.540 We get all the agencies.

00:25:52.280 This is how we're going to respond.

00:25:53.600 This is how to make sure that the public health systems in all the states are working.

00:25:59.100 Here's how we're going to think about the schools.

00:26:02.860 And when Donald Trump came in, we gave over this playbook to them.

00:26:08.340 And he, and he, but the point is, he ignored it.

00:26:23.700 And three years later, a pandemic hits.

00:26:27.080 Now, I want to be, really be fair on this, but I want everybody to pay attention.

00:26:32.600 No matter who was president at the time, this was going to be a problem.

00:26:38.540 This was a generational pandemic.

00:26:41.060 People were going to get sick.

00:26:42.320 People were going to die.

00:26:43.580 We didn't have a vaccine right away.

00:26:45.600 Businesses were going to have to shut down for a while.

00:26:48.360 Travel was going to be restricted.

00:26:49.680 But if you look at a country like Canada, their per capita death rate was 40% lower than it was here in the United States.

00:27:03.960 So just do the math.

00:27:07.480 That's more than 400,000 people.

00:27:10.780 People's grandmothers, people's fathers, people's moms, who would have been alive if Donald Trump had just paid attention and tried to follow the plan that we gave him.

00:27:28.820 It might have been somebody in your family that could have been impacted.

00:27:32.740 So, if somebody tells you that this doesn't make a difference, having somebody competent, somebody who cares about you, who listens to ordinary people, who listens to people who are experts in these areas,

00:27:51.780 if you hear somebody say it doesn't matter, it does matter.

00:27:57.700 And at some point, it will make a difference to them.

00:28:03.260 Okay, so let's think about this.

00:28:06.660 Obama tells us, I think for the first time, about this magical playbook that he had, which would have saved lives if only Trump had followed it.

00:28:17.580 In fact, he says that his playbook would have saved 400,000 lives.

00:28:23.700 So Trump is directly responsible for 400,000 deaths, says Obama.

00:28:32.800 That's what he says.

00:28:35.060 But, well, how does that work exactly?

00:28:37.900 Because the CDC report, according to the CDC, according to their own numbers, let's just take their numbers,

00:28:45.420 they claim that 350,000 people died of COVID in the U.S. in 2020.

00:28:52.360 That's what they claim.

00:28:53.700 And that was Trump's turn.

00:28:56.740 That's, you know, Trump was obviously out of office in January of 2021.

00:29:01.480 So just taking the CDC's numbers at face value, Obama is claiming that if Trump had followed the magical playbook,

00:29:13.000 not a single person would have died of COVID.

00:29:17.660 That's apparently what he's claiming.

00:29:19.140 Yeah, we would have been the only country in the world to not suffer a single COVID death, says Obama.

00:29:27.520 Like, that's the lie this guy is telling.

00:29:30.200 And the brain-dead seals in his audience, of course, are buying it and clapping right along. 0.91

00:29:36.640 It's just a crazy claim.

00:29:38.260 It's crazy.

00:29:40.120 It's a crazy claim.

00:29:41.340 Now, you might try to bail Obama out here and say that, well, oh no, Obama only said that it would have been 40%.

00:29:49.200 So 40% of the lives would have been saved.

00:29:53.520 40% of the people that died would not have died if only Trump had followed the magical playbook.

00:29:59.440 Because he says that Canada had 40% fewer deaths or whatever he's claiming the number is.

00:30:06.780 Now, there are major problems with that math.

00:30:09.460 For one thing, Canada is a much less densely populated country, much less densely populated.

00:30:15.840 Like, it's one of the least densely populated countries on Earth.

00:30:19.980 Canada has a population density of 11 people per square mile, whereas for the USA, that number is like 90 per square mile.

00:30:28.080 So our density is 9 or 10 times what theirs is.

00:30:33.120 And so, therefore, comparing the spread of a virus between the two countries is totally asinine, just dishonest and crazy.

00:30:42.420 But that's not even the main point here.

00:30:44.900 Because if he's saying that his playbook, his magical playbook, would have saved 400,000 lives,

00:30:51.840 but he's also not claiming that it would have prevented all of the deaths during Trump's term,

00:30:57.840 that means he must be pulling that figure from the alleged total of U.S. deaths for COVID.

00:31:09.820 Which means that he's blaming Trump for deaths that happened under the Biden administration.

00:31:16.940 He's blaming Trump for deaths that happened years into the Biden administration.

00:31:22.300 So you can kind of take your pick here.

00:31:25.640 Which psychotic lie is this guy telling?

00:31:30.280 Is he saying that Trump is responsible for every COVID death that happened in 2020?

00:31:35.340 Or is he saying that Trump is responsible for 40% of all the COVID deaths that happened even after his term had ended?

00:31:44.340 I mean, either way, it's just a crazy, despicable lie from a guy that tells crazy, despicable lies all the time and always has.

00:31:59.120 And, of course, never mind the fact that the U.S. did follow.

00:32:03.620 Whatever the playbook is, whatever his alleged playbook, that's what happened.

00:32:08.700 Because we know the playbook is, like, shut everything down and, you know, interrupt everybody's lives.

00:32:16.680 And that's exactly what happened.

00:32:20.080 Okay, that was the playbook that every major government in the world followed, almost.

00:32:27.660 And we are still today dealing with the ramifications of that.

00:32:32.640 The economic, social, and cultural ramifications.

00:32:36.620 And we will be for decades to come.

00:32:41.720 All right, Lizzo has...

00:32:46.460 Well, she's lost some weight, first of all.

00:32:48.600 She's looking, you know, she's looking less...

00:32:52.980 She's looking less.

00:32:56.180 She looks less.

00:32:56.920 She looks like less of what she looked before.

00:32:59.480 And I'll give her that.

00:33:00.900 So, you know, congratulations on that.

00:33:02.600 She's eating healthy.

00:33:04.140 And, anyway, she's out campaigning for Kamala now also. 0.93

00:33:07.460 And here she is on her way to the Kamala rally,

00:33:13.120 showing off her means of transportation.

00:33:16.980 Watch.

00:33:18.060 This is how a bad s*** saves democracy.

00:33:21.020 You hoes couldn't even sell democracy. 1.00

00:33:23.120 Ha! 0.89

00:33:30.900 Now, I mean, first of all, that's, like, that's not even that nice of a private jet.

00:33:39.840 Like, it looks like it seats probably eight or nine people.

00:33:43.140 Seven, if one of them is Lizzo.

00:33:44.960 And, you know, it's a private jet.

00:33:46.580 It's nicer than what I fly most of the time.

00:33:48.480 You know, I'm flying commercial.

00:33:49.400 But I'm just saying, like, if you're going to flaunt your private jet, it should be top of the line, I would think.

00:33:54.620 And that's all I'm saying.

00:33:56.220 But more to the point, it is, of course, gratuitous for a leftist on her way to campaign for Kamala Harris to be bragging about her private jet.

00:34:08.300 And it just goes to show, you know, what we already know, which is that these people don't believe any of the crap that they spew about climate change.

00:34:18.860 They don't believe it at all.

00:34:21.200 Nobody believes it.

00:34:23.220 Like, nobody actually believes that human beings are ushering in some kind of climate apocalypse.

00:34:31.120 Nobody believes that.

00:34:32.400 Because nobody, nobody is acting like they believe it.

00:34:38.680 Everybody is just living their lives like normal.

00:34:41.000 And if your normal life includes flying, for most of us, our normal lives do not include private jets.

00:34:47.000 But if it does, then, you know, you're still flying on the private jet.

00:34:52.840 Which, and I know this is the general take you have from conservatives, that nobody really believes this stuff.

00:34:58.220 These people don't believe it.

00:34:58.900 That's why they're flying on the private jets.

00:35:01.040 And I think that's probably the case.

00:35:02.400 Although sometimes I wonder, maybe we're giving them too much credit.

00:35:04.500 We're kind of giving, like, the Lizzo's of the world the benefit of the doubt by saying, and, you know, the Leonardo DiCaprio's and the Al Gore's.

00:35:14.600 We're sort of giving them the benefit of the doubt by saying that, oh, well, you don't really believe this climate change stuff.

00:35:18.860 That's why you're flying on the private jet.

00:35:22.220 Because the alternative is that they do believe it.

00:35:28.020 And yet they're still carrying on this way.

00:35:31.280 So they think that by flying a private jet, they are helping to bring about the death of mankind.

00:35:42.100 And yet they're doing it anyway.

00:35:46.180 Which would make these people, like, morally, that makes these people mass murderers.

00:35:52.080 Now, I don't think they actually are mass murderers, because they aren't going to bring about the death of all mankind by flying on a private jet.

00:35:57.220 But if they think that it will have that effect, and yet they're doing it anyway, then they are, like, morally indistinguishable from actual mass murderers.

00:36:08.220 So that's the other alternative here, is that, you know, either they're hypocrites or they are mass murderers.

00:36:17.960 It's one of the two.

00:36:20.320 Pick your poison, I guess.

00:36:21.660 And then when Lizzo got to the rally, she made this rather amazing comment.

00:36:29.460 Listen.

00:36:29.660 I'm so proud to be from this city.

00:36:32.940 You know, they say if Kamala wins, then the whole country will be like Detroit.

00:36:39.320 Okay?

00:36:40.900 Proud like Detroit.

00:36:43.100 Resilient like Detroit.

00:36:45.320 Make America Detroit.

00:36:47.940 Mad.

00:36:48.800 M-A-D, I guess, is the slogan now.

00:36:51.180 Just imagine how out of touch you have to be to roll this out, saying that you want to make America more like Detroit.

00:37:06.160 I mean, it's like if your surgeon said that right before you went under for surgery, if he told you that his greatest inspiration in the medical field was Dr. Jack Kevorkian or something.

00:37:19.460 Which actually isn't that outlandish these days, so maybe that's not the best analogy.

00:37:23.540 Or maybe that's why it is a good analogy.

00:37:25.000 I don't know.

00:37:26.180 But in any case, Detroit is a decrepit, crumbling, depressed, and quite depressing town whose best days are way behind it.

00:37:38.400 And this is what the Democrats want to turn the whole country into.

00:37:42.440 By their own admission.

00:37:44.780 By their own admission.

00:37:45.840 And, you know, the other thing to keep in mind is that when you watch that clip and it almost, it comes off like a gaffe.

00:37:54.760 Like Lizzo's just up there riffing.

00:37:57.640 And this is what you get when you have someone like Lizzo riffing at your rally.

00:38:01.740 But it's pretty clear from when you watch and listen that this was not a riff.

00:38:09.200 This was a speech that she was giving.

00:38:13.060 So they planned this.

00:38:14.740 This was her campaign.

00:38:16.240 This was not like, it's not like the campaign was standing off on the, you know, her, Kamala's handlers were standing there off stage.

00:38:24.240 And they heard Lizzo say, yeah, let's make America to Detroit.

00:38:27.520 And they just put in their heads and they're like, oh my gosh, what is she saying?

00:38:30.580 No.

00:38:31.000 That wasn't happening.

00:38:34.060 No, they're standing by nodding their heads and say, yep, this is great stuff.

00:38:37.160 This is, yeah, this is, this is what the voters want.

00:38:42.000 This is what the average everyday voter, when they think about what they want for this country,

00:38:46.460 and they think about their, their, their dreams for this country and the kind of country they want their, their kids to grow up in.

00:38:53.140 Yeah.

00:38:53.500 The average everyday voter, they're saying Detroit.

00:38:55.780 That's what we want.

00:38:56.500 We want, we want that.

00:38:58.620 That's an everyday American.

00:39:00.040 When you, when you drive through Detroit, all you can think to yourself is, man, I wish everywhere was like this.

00:39:08.840 That's what Kamala's campaign thinks apparently. 1.00

00:39:11.220 So, I mean, out of touch doesn't even begin to describe it.

00:39:14.560 All right, let's move on to this.

00:39:15.420 Elon Musk was also campaigning over the weekend, campaigning for Trump though, of course.

00:39:22.160 And we'll have more about, there's another clip of his that we'll play later on in the show,

00:39:28.480 but I did want to play this clip first because it's, you know, for obvious reasons, I quite appreciated it.

00:39:37.060 Here it is.

00:39:38.220 I also think that like the, the, the, the value of a college education is, is somewhat overweighted, you know,

00:39:43.720 and I, I think it's, uh, too, too, too many people actually spend, spend four years, accumulate a ton of debt,

00:39:51.580 and then don't, often don't have useful skills that they can apply afterwards.

00:39:55.940 And I think, uh, I have a lot of respect for people who work with their hands and, uh, we, we need, like, electricians and plumbers and, uh, carpenters and, you know,

00:40:08.620 that's, that's, that's a lot more important than having incremental poly, political science majors, uh, I think.

00:40:16.180 Um, you know, so it, I, I think we should not have this idea that, that, uh, to be successful, you need to have a four-year college.

00:40:25.200 That, that is simply not true.

00:40:28.100 Now, needless to say, uh, I couldn't agree more.

00:40:31.240 Um, not going to college, you know, as I've, as you've heard me say, is, is, uh, one of the best decisions that I ever made.

00:40:39.900 And I thank God every day that I didn't go to college, uh, maybe not every day, but, you know, periodically, periodically, I thank God I didn't go to college.

00:40:49.380 And, and the great thing about it, and this, I, I tell younger people this all the time, the, if you don't go, the great thing is that you don't go to, let's say if you're me and you don't go to college.

00:41:03.600 Well, you can always go to college later if you decide that you want to.

00:41:11.760 So I don't regret not going to college and I never really could regret it because if I, if I ever decided that, if I ever said to myself, oh man, I wish I had a college degree, I can just go get one.

00:41:22.240 You know, you, you can always go, you can take on, especially these days, you just take online classes and you can get your college degree and, uh, it's no big deal.

00:41:30.000 Um, on the other hand, if you go to college and then you go into years worth of debt and then you realize that you didn't need to go or you wish you hadn't, you can't undo that.

00:41:43.760 Uh, I know, I mean, if the government steals money from your fellow citizens and gives you loan forgiveness, quote unquote, then you could try to wipe out your mistake that way.

00:41:52.440 But if you don't want to rely on state sponsored theft, uh, to, to cover up your mistakes, then there is no way to undo it.

00:42:02.820 And you're stuck with the debt regardless.

00:42:05.740 Now that doesn't mean that nobody should go to college.

00:42:07.960 It just means that most people, most people shouldn't go.

00:42:12.420 And probably most importantly, almost nobody should be going straight out of high school.

00:42:17.500 Like in order to justify going to college straight out of high school, you would need to know exactly what you want to do for a career.

00:42:27.920 And you would need to know that you need a degree to do that thing, whatever it is.

00:42:32.820 And like, there's only a tiny minority of high school graduates who fall into that category at the ages of 17 or 18.

00:42:40.040 How many high school graduates at 17 or 18 know exactly what they want to do and they know that they need a degree to do it?

00:42:46.000 That's a, that's a small minority of the people who actually end up going to college at that age.

00:42:52.200 And even most of them still shouldn't be going right out of high school.

00:42:58.320 Most of them could still benefit from, you know, at least a couple of years working and building up a little bit of savings.

00:43:04.160 So, you know, I say that, yes, some people should still go to college, but I, I, I can't really think of any reason why anyone should ever go to college at the age of 18.

00:43:18.720 I mean, honest to God, I, I, no matter what you want to do with your life, there's no reason why at 18 years old.

00:43:27.240 So, well, I'm not gonna say anyone ever, uh, if you have a athletic scholarship or something like that, then, you know, obviously that's a reason.

00:43:34.800 Um, if you have all the financial means to pay for it, if you have a full ride, uh, scholarship, or if you're come from a rich family and they can pay for it and you know what you want to do with your life and you know, you need a degree, you know, you want to be a doctor or something.

00:43:48.480 Well then, okay. Then, then, yeah. Uh, there's no reason not to go at the age of 18, right out of high school. And there might be compelling reasons to go right out of high school, but outside of that, um, outside of like, you have a full ride scholarship or, or you're rich and you know what you want to do.

00:44:09.460 Like putting those kinds of scenarios aside, it's just, it's just kind of crazy for, for, for most people, the mass, the vast majority of people going to college right out of high school.

00:44:22.960 It's just, we're used to it. It's what it's, it's the system. It's been the system for a long time, but it is a crazy system.

00:44:29.540 Um, and there's really no reason for it. Um, it, it, most people you're not in a race. Like, who are you racing?

00:44:41.860 Once you're out of grade school, it's like, you're not on this preordained track where you have to keep up. It's like, now it's, now it's, once you graduate high school, it's like, this is just life now.

00:44:51.640 And you could go any number of ways. There's, there's infinite number of ways, directions you could take. Not all of them will be good, but, but, uh, now it's just life and you're not racing anybody.

00:45:04.100 Um, and so there's just no reason to dive into this commitment, uh, you know, right out of high school.

00:45:14.720 Um, it's not going to hurt you to take a couple of years, work a job, get some life experience, a little bit of savings. You know, you're, you're not going to save up enough to pay for college probably.

00:45:25.000 Unless you're, unless you do wait until you're in your thirties or something. Um, but still take a couple of years at least. How is that going to hurt you?

00:45:34.620 Here's an interesting case that, uh, I wanted to mention only because I think it illustrates a point that I've made a few times recently on the show.

00:45:40.760 Um, we've had several cases, well, two, at least two cases, at least in the last month where, um, murderous scumbags have been found too incompetent to stand trial.

00:45:51.920 And my point is that this incompetent to stand trial thing is almost always a sham, like just a way of allowing the worst and most evil people and the most dangerous among us to escape consequences.

00:46:04.340 As I've argued, if you define incompetent broadly enough, then it would sort of, by definition, describe almost anyone who commits a violent crime, especially anyone who commits murder, almost anyone, because competent people don't go around committing murder in most cases.

00:46:21.360 Like if you see murder as a way to solve your problems, then you're already, among other things, uh, a moron, like mentally incompetent.

00:46:31.340 Incompetent. And if incompetent could describe almost any murderer, then that either means that we should use it to let them all off the hook, or it shouldn't let really any of them off the hook.

00:46:45.420 Um, you know, there's, and there's only one sane option between those two.

00:46:48.960 So here's a case that kind of illustrates that point for us that I just, I just happened to see this.

00:46:53.840 Um, and, uh, so here it is reading from the New York post.

00:46:59.840 A North Dakota woman was sentenced to 25 years in prison for poisoning her boyfriend after mistakenly believing that he had inherited $30 million and plan to break up with her.

00:47:07.800 Officials said.

00:47:09.180 Ina Thea Canoyer, 48, was convicted for the murder of Stephen Riley, 51, who died last year from ethylene glycol poisoning, the same toxin found in antifreeze.

00:47:19.260 Stephanie Gonzalez, Riley's sister, told Canoyer at the court hearing in Minot that she was lucky to get such a lenient sentence.

00:47:28.580 Uh, State District Judge Richard Hager sentenced Canoyer to 25 years last Wednesday after she pleaded guilty.

00:47:34.160 Um, uh, to try to, uh, get, killing her boyfriend and try to get inheritance. 1.00

00:47:40.960 But in a tragic twist, there was likely no inheritance in the first place.

00:47:44.500 Officials said Canoyer poisoned Riley just hours after she found out, found out from an email that he had received that he was supposedly going to inherit $30 million.

00:47:53.300 But Ryan Riley, the victim's 21-year-old son, told the Post that the couple had unwittingly fallen victim to an online scam and there was never any money.

00:48:01.360 Uh, she told police that she planned to split Riley's alleged $30 million inheritance with his son, claiming she was entitled to a portion of it as a common-law wife.

00:48:12.580 North Dakota, however, does not recognize such relationships.

00:48:15.700 Okay, so, this woman, Canoyer, was found, uh, she was not found incompetent.

00:48:21.620 Like, she was apparently competent to stand trial, and she was convicted and sentenced.

00:48:25.620 And the sentence should have been longer, you know, it should have been life in prison.

00:48:29.440 But she is going to prison for 25 years, and at her age, that's almost life.

00:48:34.060 Uh, and, um, but she's not incompetent. 1.00

00:48:37.900 She was competent to stand trial.

00:48:40.300 But let's review the facts of this case.

00:48:42.540 To begin with, she killed her boyfriend by poisoning him with antifreeze.

00:48:48.560 And there is, like, a 100% chance of being caught if that's how you kill someone.

00:48:58.660 Of all the ways to murder somebody, that, and not that I'm encouraging anyone to murder people in more effective ways,

00:49:05.380 but of all the ways, that has to have the lowest batting average in terms of getting away with it.

00:49:12.800 I mean, not only that, but she killed the guy because she thought that she was inheriting $30 million,

00:49:18.460 and she wanted the money, but it turns out that they were getting scammed.

00:49:22.900 There was no money.

00:49:23.720 This is basically, it sounds like this was, like, one of those Nigerian prince email scams.

00:49:28.320 And on top of that, she wouldn't have inherited the money anyway because she wasn't his wife.

00:49:33.520 And her state doesn't recognize common law marriages. 0.96

00:49:35.860 So, she killed her boyfriend to inherit money that he didn't have, and that she wouldn't inherit anyway. 0.72

00:49:42.680 And she killed him using a method that was guaranteed to get her caught within, like, 18 seconds of the police looking into this crime.

00:49:52.080 So, what do you think this woman's IQ is? 1.00

00:49:59.120 75, maybe, at best?

00:50:02.220 I guess it's, I mean, I would guess it's probably below 70.

00:50:05.000 Like, she, which would make her, from a medical perspective, would make her literally medically retarded. 0.95

00:50:11.120 And, yeah, she's a bad person, too.

00:50:13.820 I'm not saying that her biggest problem is that she killed her boyfriend in the dumbest way possible,

00:50:17.400 and for the dumbest reason, her biggest problem is killing him at all.

00:50:20.500 Like, she's an evil person, and not every person who's, not everyone who's as stupid as she is, is evil.

00:50:26.680 So, you know, that's the issue here.

00:50:28.980 But I'm just trying to make a point, which is, would anyone describe this person as competent?

00:50:37.140 Like, competent by what standard?

00:50:38.560 She's obviously a totally dysfunctional and mentally deficient person. 1.00

00:50:44.460 So, should we refrain from sending her to prison? 0.87

00:50:48.880 Well, no, obviously not.

00:50:50.380 Like, prison is for totally dysfunctional and deficient people who then become violent.

00:50:59.360 That's why we have them.

00:51:01.160 Those are the people who end up there.

00:51:03.980 We put them there so that they can no longer inflict harm on society.

00:51:08.220 And because we also recognize that somebody like this, like, what, you can't,

00:51:12.120 you can't even get through to somebody like this.

00:51:13.500 You can't change them.

00:51:14.340 If you're that incredibly stupid and incompetent and evil at the age of 50-whatever,

00:51:21.940 you're not going to, this is not ever going to be the kind of person who can,

00:51:26.160 you can just trust to live a, you know, a well-adjusted life in society.

00:51:34.180 It's not the kind of person you could ever have in your community.

00:51:35.660 So, but yet she's going to prison, but the guy who ran over the police chief, you know,

00:51:50.180 isn't, at least not right now.

00:51:53.120 He was ruled to be, at least for now, mentally incompetent.

00:51:57.680 Bianca Ellis, who killed a toddler, stabbed a toddler to death outside of a grocery store.

00:52:03.300 She was the other one who, who this month was, was ruled incompetent to stand trial.

00:52:11.520 And yet this other mentally deficient person is competent. 0.86

00:52:18.460 I mean, there's like, how do you, how?

00:52:23.200 It's, there's no good or acceptable answer to, to, to, to that.

00:52:27.700 Like why, why, you know, they can't stand trial right now, she can. 0.99

00:52:31.360 Well, because it's totally arbitrary.

00:52:32.600 It's just completely arbitrary.

00:52:35.020 It's this, it's a, this concept that we have put in place that could be totally arbitrarily used by a judge,

00:52:44.140 by the court system, if they want to.

00:52:46.400 And, and that is why we should just be throwing all dangerous and dysfunctional people in prison.

00:52:54.280 The fact that they're incompetent is, should be totally irrelevant because of course they all are.

00:53:02.380 By most standards of competency, none of them would, would, would, you know, get over that bar.

00:53:08.500 And that's why the prison is there.

00:53:12.140 Let's talk about something that affects all of us, taxes.

00:53:15.800 The October 15th deadline has passed.

00:53:17.800 And if you're not prepared, you could be in for a world of hurt.

00:53:21.340 Do you owe back taxes?

00:53:22.500 Are you, are your returns still unfiled?

00:53:24.480 Did you miss the deadline to file for an extension?

00:53:26.440 Now that we're past October 15th, the IRS is probably gearing up for some aggressive enforcement.

00:53:31.520 And trust me, you don't want to be on their radar.

00:53:33.860 We're talking wage garnishments, frozen bank accounts, or even property seizures.

00:53:37.720 It's not pretty folks.

00:55:12.080 Now let's get to our daily cancellation.

00:55:13.460 Last week we discussed Elon Musk's efforts to advance his space program and human civilization itself in the face of arbitrary and increasingly cumbersome and pointless interference by various government bureaucracies on the local, state, and federal level.

00:55:32.760 And some of the sabotage is, of course, motivated by the regime's hatred for Elon Musk personally.

00:55:37.700 But much of it, a sizable chunk anyway, is the natural byproduct of a bloated bureaucratic state that exists to make everything more difficult and more expensive and more complicated than it has any reason to be.

00:55:51.940 At the Trump rally over the weekend, he told a story related to this subject.

00:55:54.900 He's certainly not the only person to have experienced the unique horrors of government over-regulation and inefficiency, but he's probably experienced more of it than most people ever will.

00:56:05.540 And to that end, he related this anecdote.

00:56:10.000 Listen.

00:56:11.340 SpaceX had to do the study to see if a starship would hit a shark.

00:56:16.340 And I'm like, it's a big ocean, you know.

00:56:20.400 There's a lot of sharks.

00:56:21.620 It's not impossible, but it's very unlikely.

00:56:24.420 And I said, well, you have to, you know, this is, I think, from National Marine Fisheries, one of the, you know, nymphs it's called.

00:56:33.360 And, you know, they were like, well, you have to do the study on whether you're going to hit a shark.

00:56:36.740 We're like, what?

00:56:38.300 And then we said, okay, fine, we'll do the analysis.

00:56:42.060 And then, well, can you give us the shark beta?

00:56:44.640 They're like, no, we can't give you the shark data.

00:56:46.980 We're like, okay, well, then we're a bit of a quandary.

00:56:49.860 How do we solve this difficult, this shock probability issue?

00:56:54.680 And they said, well, we could give it to our Western division, but we don't trust them.

00:57:00.080 And I'm like, am I in a comedy sketch here?

00:57:04.000 And they're like, they're worried about the shark density data, like the people who hunt sharks for shark fins somehow getting their hands on this shark density, the shark data.

00:57:13.300 And so eventually, I think we got the data, and we could, you know, run the analysis to say, like, yeah, the sharks are going to be fine.

00:57:22.060 But they wouldn't let us proceed with launch until we did this crazy shark data.

00:57:25.960 And then we thought, okay, now we're done.

00:57:27.880 And they said, but what about whales?

00:57:29.320 I'm like, when you look at a picture of the Pacific, what percentage of the surface area of the Pacific do you see as whale?

00:57:36.740 Because I see it, look at a picture, I don't see any, it's like, you can't, where's the whale?

00:57:41.780 And honestly, if the ship did hit a whale, it's like, honestly, that whale had it coming, because it's like, the odds are so low.

00:57:51.060 You know, it's like, like, final destination, the whale edition.

00:57:57.160 It's like, fate had it in for that whale, you know.

00:58:00.600 And so we have to do the whale analysis.

00:58:02.760 And it's like, okay, yeah, the whales will be fine too, you know.

00:58:05.120 So the government was worried that SpaceX might hit a whale or a shark when it lands its rockets in the ocean.

00:58:13.580 Just to put that into perspective, the Pacific Ocean is 60 million square miles, which works out to about 40 billion acres, which works out to about 50 billion football fields.

00:58:26.040 So now we have to ask ourselves, at any given moment, how much of that space is occupied at or near the surface by sharks and whales?

00:58:36.460 Let's allow for a psychotically high estimate.

00:58:41.620 Let's just say that there are right now, at this moment, a billion football fields worth of sharks and whales swimming near the surface of the Pacific Ocean.

00:58:51.980 Imagine an NFL football field crammed with sharks and whales.

00:58:56.380 And now imagine a billion more of those.

00:59:00.560 Well, even in this fantasy land scenario, that still leaves 49 billion football fields for Elon to land his rockets.

00:59:11.760 The chance of hitting one of those poor creatures would still be microscopically small.

00:59:17.420 And yet they still had to waste time and money dealing with this fantastically implausible hypothetical scenario.

00:59:25.080 Why is that?

00:59:26.200 Well, because the government hates Elon Musk.

00:59:28.440 Yes.

00:59:29.440 For political reasons.

00:59:31.320 But even more than that, the government is comprised of utterly useless bureaucrats who have no skills and nothing to contribute and no reason to exist.

00:59:40.320 All of these people are paid for no reason to do nothing.

00:59:44.160 And so most of the waste and inefficiency in government happens simply because these people have to justify their own existence.

00:59:53.860 And this is, you know, every organization deals with this kind of thing to some extent.

00:59:57.620 The bigger the organization is, the more of it you get.

01:00:00.080 That's why, you know, as a general rule, and this is just science, at least 30% of the people involved in any meeting that you ever go to at your job, at least 30% of those people could be fired or at least given something more productive to do.

01:00:16.120 Every meeting is 90% longer than it needs to be and involves at least 30% more people than need to be involved.

01:00:22.380 Again, that's just basic science.

01:00:25.600 And when it comes to the government, that 30% figure is more like 95%, which is probably still a conservative estimate.

01:00:32.240 And a few days ago, as if to prove the point, the U.S. Customs and Border Protection Agency put out a tweet ostensibly to brag about their involvement in hurricane cleanup efforts.

01:00:45.680 But instead, they accidentally provided us with maybe the most powerful illustration of government inefficiency that we've seen in a very long time.

01:00:53.620 Now, accompanying that caption is this video.

01:01:10.700 Watch.

01:01:23.620 Okay, so for those listening to the audio podcast, I will describe what we just witnessed.

01:01:39.080 What we saw was, I guess, supposed to be the inspiring spectacle of 13 CBP agents standing in a line, passing a 10-pound log down the line,

01:01:51.420 to then throw it on a pile of larger logs, a larger pile of logs about 20 feet away.

01:01:57.580 So just to review the numbers again, that's 13 government workers transporting one 10-pound log 20 feet.

01:02:06.540 Actually, it's 14 workers if you count the guy that's just standing there and watching.

01:02:09.880 I assume he's the spotter tasked with observing and tending to any injuries that might be incurred during the procedure.

01:02:17.480 Because you never know when somebody might get a splinter or crack a nail or something.

01:02:22.100 It is, as I said, the ultimate illustration of government inefficiency.

01:02:26.560 It's pretty extraordinary.

01:02:29.600 Now, but then again, it's easy to Monday morning quarterback this thing.

01:02:33.920 Can I think of a more efficient way to move a small log from one place to another place 20 feet away?

01:02:41.460 Well, yes, I can.

01:02:42.580 In fact, you could stick with the assembly line technique and just cut half the people and it would already be twice as efficient.

01:02:52.120 If every CBP agent was simply required to extend their arms all the way while passing the log,

01:02:58.040 it would mean that at least six or seven of them wouldn't need to be there.

01:03:01.160 So they could go and form a different log train somewhere else.

01:03:06.380 And now you've increased efficiency while also increasing the amount of work being done.

01:03:12.340 But here I'm still operating within the sort of log train paradigm.

01:03:15.920 It is possible to come up with log transportation methods that are entirely different.

01:03:22.020 For instance, what if each of the 13 agents were to each grab their own 10-pound log and walk it the full 20 feet themselves?

01:03:30.420 Now you'll have transported 13 times the number of logs in the same amount of time or even less time.

01:03:37.280 Now, it's true that this requires a greater expenditure of effort and energy,

01:03:41.580 but the workload would still be light enough that you should still be able to get the job done much quicker.

01:03:48.440 I mean, are they in good enough shape to walk back and forth carrying small logs for even half an hour?

01:03:54.120 If so, imagine how many logs 13 people could transport in half an hour.

01:03:58.440 What if they could do an hour of work?

01:04:02.540 Just imagine that.

01:04:04.780 Now, of course, I'm brainstorming right now under the assumption that the federal government,

01:04:09.160 with its multi-trillion dollar budget, can't spring for a few wheelbarrows.

01:04:14.960 Like, if it were possible to utilize that sort of technology,

01:04:17.940 then even just one person could transport 10 logs in the time that it takes the log train to move one.

01:04:23.120 And if you could use some kind of motorized piece of equipment, say like a tractor or something,

01:04:29.980 you could increase the volume exponentially beyond that.

01:04:34.960 But I know it's probably a bit unreasonable to expect that kind of a splurging from a miserly stingy government

01:04:41.120 that only spent six trillion dollars last year.

01:04:44.000 So forget the dreams of heavy machinery.

01:04:45.860 Still, you could get a pretty nice quality wheelbarrow from Lowe's for like 60 bucks.

01:04:49.800 Is that too much to ask?

01:04:54.180 Apparently so.

01:04:56.420 But this is what you get from the government.

01:04:58.080 Everything will be done as inefficiently and in such a cumbersome a fashion as humanly possible.

01:05:10.140 And will be made to pay for all of it.

01:05:12.840 And that is why the U.S. Customs and Border Protection Agency is today canceled.

01:05:21.840 That'll do it for the show today.

01:05:22.520 Thanks for watching.

01:05:23.040 Thanks for listening.

01:06:06.280 It's good to talk to you.

01:06:08.960 We're still on a journey, all of us together.

01:06:10.480 I think you've got some journeying to do.

01:06:11.960 Just talk to me about the statistics.

01:06:13.560 We have an epidemic.

01:06:14.100 20 million crimes a year, 6,000, 7,000 hate crimes.

01:06:18.280 No, there's no epidemic.

01:06:19.260 Why are we talking about statistics?

01:06:20.740 This is not a matter of statistics.

01:06:22.480 You asked me about the statistics.
