Transcript
00:00:00.000
Today on the Matt Wall Show, Democrats just passed a bill to raise the minimum wage to $15 an hour.
00:00:06.240
I'm going to explain, and it's going to sound cruel and heartless, but actually it's not,
00:00:09.780
I'm going to explain why the minimum wage should actually be zero. Also, a measure passed in
00:00:15.720
California a few years ago that has now made it so that thieves can just walk into any convenience
00:00:21.280
store they want and steal whatever they want, basically without consequence. We'll discuss that.
00:00:25.640
And the scariest trailer of all time was just released. And it's not the It trailer. I'm not
00:00:31.000
talking about that. It's something else, much scarier than that. I'll play that for you today
00:00:34.420
on the Matt Wall Show. You know, I have to say I'm pretty upset today. I just read the news that
00:00:46.240
Berkeley City Council is getting rid of a bunch of offensive words from its city code, which is
00:00:52.740
great. For instance, the word manhole is gone now in Berkeley. It's going to be replaced with
00:00:59.380
maintenance hole. And that's, I mean, thank God, right? Because I can't tell you as a father of a
00:01:05.580
daughter, I can't tell you how many times my daughter has broken down in tears because she's
1.00
00:01:10.300
being excluded from the language we use to describe sewers. It's very traumatizing for her. So they're
00:01:15.920
solving that, but it's not all good, you see, because Berkeley has also gotten rid of any mention
00:01:21.340
of men and women from the code, instead replacing it with the word people. But wait a second, people?
00:01:32.120
People? Language like that is highly, highly offensive to furries like Beto. How do you think
00:01:41.140
it makes them feel? Can you imagine how excluded you would feel if you identified as, say, a six-foot-tall
00:01:47.920
chicken, and now everyone's going around using a word like people? I think individual or entity, I think
00:01:57.000
it's probably even more, you want to be as ambiguous as, but entity, right, would be the more progressive
00:02:02.700
choice. So it's, it's, Berkeley is, they're getting there, they're, they're, you know, on the right path, but
00:02:09.600
they have not progressed nearly enough for my taste anyway. So I just wanted to mention that to begin
00:02:16.220
with. Okay, much to discuss today, and actually, we're going to actually revisit the discussion of
00:02:23.040
furries a little bit later, because there's a, there's gonna be a big hit movie coming out, a musical
00:02:27.880
all about furries, and so, which is another sign of our decaying culture. So I wanted to, well, we'll talk
00:02:34.000
about that later, though. But first, you know, I think we can all agree, we should be able to all
00:02:40.160
agree that we could all use more sleep, right? Especially those of us who are parents, you know,
00:02:44.480
as a parent, your sleep time, however little there might be, is very precious, and you want to make
00:02:50.520
the most of it, you want to, you want to pack in as much sleeping as you can in those two and a half
00:02:56.040
to three hours that you get, and that's where Bowlin Branch comes in. Getting a great night's sleep
00:03:01.120

00:04:00.420
All right, so let me begin here. Not going to spend much time on this, which is what I always
00:04:10.420
say before I ramble about something for 57 minutes. I'll try to have a better follow-through
00:04:14.860
this time, though. We've talked this week quite a bit about Trump and Trump-related issues,
00:04:21.980
and I have criticized Trump, God forbid. That's something that I do on occasion, maybe you've
00:04:26.700
noticed. But as always, when those occasions arise, people get upset. It has, I guess,
00:04:34.700
been decided by people other than myself that my job is to obsequiously justify and defend
00:04:43.260
everything Trump does or says. That's my job, according to them. Now, personally, I would rather
00:04:48.600
be dead than sacrifice my intellectual integrity for the sake of a politician. If I'm going to
00:04:55.900
sacrifice my intellectual integrity for anything, it's not going to be for a politician. I would
00:05:00.480
choose death over that. I really would. Who would want to live like that? So that's just a difference
00:05:09.020
of opinion, though, I suppose, me with other people. The point is, I've gotten a lot of feedback,
00:05:15.980
shall we say, this week. And a lot of people asking, a lot of people asking, saying, you know,
00:05:22.680
so are you a Trump supporter or not? What are you, one of those dastardly never-Trumpers? Is that what
00:05:27.180
you are? What's up with all the criticism? And so on. It seems kind of late in the game to be having
00:05:33.560
this conversation almost three years in, but I guess it still needs to be had. So that's fine.
00:05:38.660
I want to just briefly, for those who have been asking, explain my strategy or maybe my philosophy
00:05:48.820
of Trump. Philosophy of Trump. That's what I'm going to explain. It's very simple. Okay, it goes
00:05:54.640
like this. When it comes to Trump, I will criticize him when I think he's wrong, which he is wrong
00:06:01.320
sometimes. And that's because he's not God. He's not a perfect being. He can be wrong. He's fallible.
00:06:08.160
And so when he is, I say so. When he's right, when he does and says a good thing, in my opinion,
00:06:13.980
I defend him. And he is right sometimes because he's not Hitler. He's not Satan. He can be right.
00:06:20.040
And when he is, I say so. And that's it, really. That's the whole thing. That's the whole,
00:06:24.260
that's the kit and caboodle. Super simple. Agree, I say so. Disagree, I say so. There you go,
00:06:30.740
the end. That's all. It's not, it's not virtue signaling. It's not putting on a show. It's not
00:06:36.100
trying to appeal to this or that group. And this, no, it's just, I'm just, I say what I think. If
00:06:41.740
I disagree, I say, that's it. That's really it. Am I a never Trumper? No, I don't even know what
00:06:47.820
that label means. That's the dumbest label. Never. He's in office. And maybe you've noticed
00:06:52.960
he's president. So even if I wanted to be a never Trumper, I wouldn't know how to be one. What do you
00:06:59.300
mean never what exactly? He's there. He won. So what do you mean never? What am I never,
00:07:05.760
if I was a never Trumper, what is it that I'm never doing? He's, it's not like we have to go and
00:07:11.520
vote for him again every single day that he's in office. So that's not an issue on a day-to-day
00:07:16.820
basis while he's in office, what would being a never Trumper entail? If it me, if it entails,
00:07:21.960
if the never means never support him, never agree with him under any circumstance,
00:07:29.800
then that's just insane. And, and I, and there are some people, some so-called
00:07:35.660
conservatives, some maybe former conservatives who have taken that approach and have decided
00:07:42.380
basically to become liberals. I mean, really become liberal and to, to accept liberal ideas
00:07:48.160
and to support the Democrat party because they hate Trump so much. I guess that's what a never
00:07:52.340
Trumper is now. And that is, uh, just a ridiculous point of view that, um, this idea that you're going
00:07:59.920
to now accept an entirely different philosophy and ideology, just because you don't like one guy who
00:08:08.040
subscribes to the other, uh, ostensibly subscribes anyway to the other philosophy that, that doesn't
00:08:14.500
make any sense. So I'm not that, um, I'm all, but am I a Trump fan? No, I'm not a Trump fan because
00:08:21.560
I'm not a fan of any politician. As I've said many times, fandom and politics don't mix. You want to be
00:08:28.600
a fan of someone, then be a fan of a, of a, of a, of a sports star, be a fan of a sports team, be a fan
00:08:34.780
of a rock star, be a fan of a band. Um, but pom-poms don't belong in politics. Leave your pom-poms at home
00:08:41.180
when it's time to talk about politics. I don't think that we should ever be a fan of any politician
00:08:46.260
period. Am I a Trump supporter? Well, even to that, I would say no, because, because of this,
00:08:53.660
my support for Trump, just like for any politician is completely conditional. I have no loyalty to
00:08:58.980
politicians, none whatsoever. I'm loyal to my family. I'm loyal to my wife, to my kids. Uh, there are
00:09:04.920
people to which I am loyal. Um, there are situations where I think loyalty is important.
00:09:11.180
But politics is not one of them. I am absolutely not loyal to any politician because they work for
00:09:18.880
me and they work for you, right? They work for us. That's how, that's how this is supposed to work.
00:09:23.200
They're supposed to earn our support on a day-to-day basis, continue earning it. Um, the,
00:09:29.680
the bank account is basically always empty because it's, they, they earn it and then, but they could lose
00:09:35.500
it the next day. So they're really not, it's, it's, it's politicians. They're not building up much,
00:09:41.980
much, um, you know, they're not, they're not accruing much wealth in that department.
00:09:47.600
They have to keep earning it every single day because the thing is we know about politicians
0.92
00:09:52.200
is they can flip-flop. They can change. Uh, they can betray their promises. They can do all that.
00:09:58.640
The politicians do it all the time, which is why I think we should never stake out a position as,
00:10:03.320
well, I'm a supporter of this person. I support them in this situation right now,
00:10:09.940
given what they're doing, but that could change tomorrow. In which case I'm going to kick them to
00:10:15.380
the curb because I have no emotional attachment. I have no affection. It is totally transactional.
00:10:23.740
It's like you're, you're, you're doing what I want right now. I agree with you right now. I support you.
00:10:27.340
But if you, if you stray, you're done. Uh, that's my approach. That's, that's my formula. That's what
00:10:37.900
I, that's how I approach, as I said, every politician period. This, this is, this is the
00:10:44.360
way I look at it. I don't make exceptions for anybody. And I think that, look, we all have our
00:10:49.800
own approaches. I of course am biased in favor of my own, but I do think that this is actually kind
00:10:55.940
of the right way of going about it as an American. I think this is what our founders had in mind.
00:11:02.780
They had in mind for us to be skeptical, um, of anyone in power, be skeptical of anyone in power
00:11:11.300
for the simple fact that they're there because they wanted to be in power. If they have power
00:11:16.960
in America, it means they wanted power. And so we should be skeptical of them.
00:11:20.980
Um, that's, that's sort of the catch 22 of politics is that, you know, you could, I forget
00:11:28.720
the quote from someone, um, who, uh, now I've totally forgotten it. So I'm going to completely
00:11:34.360
mangle it, but you know, the, the people who are least suited for power are precisely the
00:11:43.540
kinds of people who would pursue power. And that's, that's just, that's the catch 22.
00:11:50.540
So the very fact that someone would pursue it means that we should be skeptical because we
00:11:53.760
should be saying, well, what, what, what, hold on a second. What are you so desperate to be in
00:11:57.320
charge for? What's going on here? And so we always maintain that skepticism, uh, at all times.
00:12:04.240
I think that's, that's just the way I look at it. All right. Democrats in the, um, in the house
00:12:11.640
yesterday passed the raise the wage act, which would hike the federal minimum wage to 15 bucks an
00:12:19.240
hour. It's not going to be taken up in the Senate, so it's not going to become a law, but it could
00:12:24.240
become law eventually. Uh, if Dems take control, this is one of the many horrible things they plan
00:12:28.760
to do. And I do think it's horrible. Uh, I know it's a, it's, it seems on the, like so many
00:12:35.140
democratic policies, especially in the economic realm, it seems on the surface compassionate and
00:12:42.340
like they're concerned about working Americans and so on. But when you stop to think about it
00:12:46.100
for just five seconds, you realize how bad it really is. So a couple of thoughts here on the
00:12:50.080
minimum wage since it's being discussed. Um, uh, I, I do support a minimum wage, but the minimum
00:12:58.560
wage that I support is zero. I think zero is the baseline. Zero should be the minimum wage. I
00:13:04.960
definitely don't think the minimum wage, it shouldn't go below that. Okay. So there shouldn't
00:13:08.600
be a negative, uh, nobody should be charged money to work. So I'll say that, but zero is the cutoff
00:13:16.300
zeros. The baseline should be the baseline wage for work because that's the baseline amount of effort
00:13:25.660
you can put in. Um, it's possible for someone to do zero work, which means that they have earned
00:13:32.140
zero dollars, do zero work at zero dollars. I think that makes a lot of sense, but when you skip
00:13:37.980
from zero and you go all the way up to say $8 an hour, minimum wage, $10 an hour, $15 an hour,
00:13:43.760
20, 25. I mean, there's, there's no limit to it. Once you do that, it doesn't really make any sense.
00:13:49.260
Um, because what you're, what you're suggesting is it's basically impossible for someone to do,
00:13:57.840
um, less than that amount of work in an hour. You're saying that if the minimum wage is $15 an
00:14:06.600
hour, you're saying that it's impossible that anyone in America could, um, do work for an hour
00:14:15.240
and the work they perform could be worth less than $15. You're saying that's impossible.
00:14:20.480
All the work that's being done across the country in any given hour, all of it is worth at least $15
00:14:26.400
an hour. I just, I don't think that's true. I give one example. We could all point out examples,
00:14:33.020
but just one example. Uh, I went to McDonald's the other day as I have the unfortunate habit of doing
00:14:38.600
on occasion and, uh, McDonald's now, most of McDonald's I go in now have those automated
00:14:43.580
things where you can order the touchscreen things, but I usually avoid those because
00:14:49.340
they're touchscreen. And so you can see the finger smudges on them. And it's, I don't want to touch
00:14:54.340
that thing. I mean, how often are those things washed? It looks like they're never washed. I
00:14:58.320
don't want to put my hand on a thing of a hundred other people have touched right before I'm about
00:15:02.380
to eat. It's gross. Um, when I can see their gross, greasy, disgusting hand marks on it. So then I,
00:15:08.640
I went to the, to the cashier and, um, so here's how that interaction work, that interaction went
00:15:15.380
verbatim. And as I said, we've all had interactions like this. So I walk up the cashier goes, can I
00:15:21.460
help you? Uh, yes, I'll have the large, uh, number one, please. Thank you. That it? Yes.
00:15:30.800
That's six 57. Oh, actually, sorry. Can you, can you change that to a medium?
00:15:41.380
Okay. And that's how it went. Um, now let me ask you somebody like that, someone who that's all they
00:15:52.080
do. That is the, they can't even be troubled to enunciate their words. Like they can barely even
00:15:57.920
put in the effort to speak. They are, these, they're barely sentient. They're, they're, you,
00:16:03.160
you're almost watching them melt in front of you into this just lump of matter. They, they're barely
00:16:09.740
even there. Um, because of how, because of just how dis, how utterly disinterested they are and, uh,
00:16:17.220
not only disinterested, but, but, but ticked off that you're there. You know, the kind of person where
00:16:21.640
you go into one of these places and they may, they're so unpleasant and so miserable that they make
00:16:26.760
you regret coming in. You are less likely to come back because of people like that. You, you, they,
00:16:33.700
they make you feel guilty for being there where you start to question yourself. You start saying,
00:16:37.760
Oh, geez, maybe I shouldn't, you start feeling bad. Like maybe I should have just gone and hunted
00:16:41.160
for deer or something for my lunch. I don't want to, I feel like I'm putting this person out or
00:16:45.280
something, but this is their job. This is what they do. They, they, they came in, they put on the
00:16:49.000
visor, they put on the name tag. This is all there. This is all they can do. This is what they're
00:16:52.700
getting paid to do. You might as well put a little effort in. They don't want to put any effort in.
00:16:56.760
So with someone like that, are they worth, are they worth 50 automatically worth is, is doing that
00:17:03.840
sighing, rolling your eyes. Is that automatically worth $15 an hour, especially when there's a
00:17:12.500
machine that can do exactly that without the attitude and speaking clearly. I mean,
00:17:18.300
how could it possibly be worth 50? It's not, it's not worth $8 an hour. Somebody like that.
00:17:24.040
Um, I guess the, the, the company, the restaurant, the store has some need for them. That's why
00:17:31.740
they're still there. So I, you know, they're, what are they worth 50 cents an hour at most 25 cents.
00:17:36.700
Um, they're worth very close to zero, maybe not zero, but very close to it. And so that they should
00:17:44.200
be paid. That's what they should be paid. People should be paid according to the work they do.
00:17:49.540
Now, on the other hand, you do have occasions and usually this happens in a Chick-fil-A as we all
00:17:57.260
know, but not always, I, there, there are times when you go to a fast food place and the cashier
00:18:04.160
is super nice and helpful and cheerful, and they've got a smile on their face and they, they,
00:18:09.580
you know, something screwed up or you have to make a change and they're, they're, they're just
00:18:12.860
very accommodating and welcoming and they make you feel good. They make you feel, they make you want
00:18:18.580
to order just more food just to, just to reward them. Um, uh, which they make you want to come
00:18:24.220
back. They just, they're, they're, they have, they're doing, they're putting in maximum effort,
00:18:30.120
right? I mean, you're, you're, you're punching things into a, to a, into a cash register. Uh,
00:18:36.340
the way that they make these things, it's like they're, they're, it's, they're just pictures of
00:18:40.200
the things that you don't even have to read. So someone like that, they, they know they could be
00:18:46.120
putting in almost no effort. Instead, they put in all of the possible effort they can into this job
00:18:51.540
because they're saying to themselves, look, this is what I'm doing. It's not what I want to do with
00:18:55.240
the rest of my life. Um, I don't particularly enjoy it. I wouldn't do it for free, but since
00:19:00.320
I'm doing it, since this is what I'm getting paid to do, I might as well do a good job. And so that's
00:19:04.300
what they do. Now, someone like that, uh, I think those are people who, I mean, they could be worth
00:19:09.920
$30 and they could be worth $50 an hour if they're that good at their job and they're, and they make
00:19:16.100
you as a customer want to come back, they're worth a lot of money to the company because they're,
00:19:22.300
they're making money for the company. So I think you get rid of the minimum wage and here's, here's
00:19:28.620
what the situation should be behind any fast food counter. It should be a situation where there are
00:19:36.200
people working back there who are making $35 an hour. And there are people who were making 35 cents
00:19:42.960
an hour. That's how wide the gap should be between wages, because that's how wide the gap in effort
00:19:50.640
is. And the wages should reflect that. So this isn't just about punishing the fast food employees
00:19:57.020
or the minimum wage employees who put in no effort. Um, it's not just about, about, and not even
00:20:02.900
punishing. It's, it's, it's not about simply, uh, encouraging them to do better, although that
00:20:08.700
is part of it, but it's also about rewarding those who are worth a lot more than $8 an hour or $15
00:20:18.020
an hour or $20 an hour. When you have a minimum wage, what ends up happening is because the, the
00:20:24.780
company, the, the, the, the restaurant, you know, they, they've got these employees who are worth
00:20:30.320
almost nothing. They have to pay them though, eight, 10, $50 an hour, which means they've got to take
00:20:36.140
that potential income away from the employees who could be worth more. You get rid of the minimum
00:20:41.480
wage. And now, yeah, there are going to be people who lose out and deserve to lose out because they're,
00:20:47.400
they're just lumps of, of, of matter sitting there. But, um, then those who are worth more,
00:20:56.480
now you've freed up that capital and, uh, and they can be paid what they're worth. So I think it,
00:21:00.540
and it's then if you, if you work at a Burger King or something and there's no minimum wage and you
00:21:07.840
find that all of a sudden you're getting paid $2 an hour because you're just a miserable
00:21:12.820
employee who puts in no effort and makes everyone around you feel terrible just for being there.
00:21:18.380
Well, then you could look at your, at your coworkers who are making so much more and you could say,
00:21:21.800
oh, I want it. That's what I want. Well, it's very simple to get there. All you have to do is put in
00:21:27.320
the effort. All right. Um, what else do we have here? This is an incredible story. I wanted to
00:21:36.220
mention from, um, NBC, los angeles.com. Let me just read a little bit of this.
00:21:43.140
It says small business owners in San Diego County are sounding an alarm over thousands of dollars in
00:21:48.580
losses to shoplifters. The problem is that these shoplifters don't appear to be facing any
00:21:52.860
consequences. A seven 11 franchise owner told NBC seven, um, that every single day shoplifters
00:22:00.500
come in and take what they want. If they can keep it under a certain amount, the owner hopes the
00:22:05.180
city will step in to do something. Uh, the reason why this is happening under prop 47, which passed
00:22:11.220
in 2014, anything stolen below a $950 value keeps the crime at a misdemeanor, which means that,
00:22:20.220
uh, and, and people aren't getting arrested for the misdemeanor. So under this, under this prop 47
00:22:26.120
California, what that means is that people, you know, if you, if you steal under $950 worth of
00:22:32.380
worth of stuff, that's a misdemeanor and you're just going to get a citation, which means people
00:22:37.720
are just strolling into seven 11s and other convenience stores in California and taking whatever
00:22:44.000
they want. In fact, what, what brought this to my attention attention is that there's a video,
00:22:48.400
which I can't play because there's so much vulgarity in it that I'd have to bleep it out.
00:22:52.760
You wouldn't understand what was even being said, but, um, somebody took a video. I think it's from a
00:22:57.700
seven 11 where this guy, this, this punk strolls in and just take something and leaves and no one
00:23:08.320
stops him because they can't. The most the police can do is just, Oh, you shouldn't have done that
00:23:13.900
and issue a citation. That's it. This is, this is crazy. And it shows again, you have these policies
00:23:24.560
that are supposed to be compassionate and, Oh, you know, we're, we're, we're trying to prevent,
00:23:30.600
we don't want to lock people in jail for nonviolent crimes, but these supposedly compassionate
00:23:35.880
policies, look what they're doing. Where is the compassion for the business owners who are now
00:23:41.260
losing merchandise and are living in fear because they know that anyone can walk in and take their
00:23:47.160
stuff at any time. It's, it's outrageous. All right. Um, speaking of outrageous, I'm moving along
00:23:55.100
here kind of quickly. Uh, mostly because there, there are some, some great emails I wanted to get to
00:24:01.240
on a Friday. One other thing, a bunch of new trailers came out yesterday for some reason. And, uh,
00:24:09.380
one that a lot of people have been talking about is the trailer for the new Top Gun movie with Tom
00:24:15.620
Cruz comes back and reprises his role. And now I have to admit, I have to confess that I have never
00:24:23.860
seen Top Gun. I don't even know what Top Gun is about. I, I, I, I gather that he flies a plane.
00:24:31.160
I don't know what, to what end. I mean, what's the central, it, does he fight aliens? Is it an
00:24:37.300
alien thing? If so, I'll watch it, but I get the impression that there's no aliens and, and it's not
00:24:43.020
even, he's a fighter jet, but is he fighting anybody? Does he, is there, are there, does that
00:24:48.380
even have, I, from the little brief glimpses of Top Gun I've seen, I just don't understand the
00:24:53.300
point of, I've never seen it. I have no interest. Um, but that's coming out. There's also something
00:24:59.260
else. Um, the film version of the musical cats is coming out and this trailer was released. It
00:25:09.420
honestly is. And I've got to give a, a parental warning here because a warning for everybody
00:25:14.080
trigger warning that this, this looks like the most disturbing, terrifying film unintentionally,
00:25:24.460
but potentially the most disturbing and terrifying film that has ever been made. I thought that the
00:25:28.980
Exorcist was the scariest movie of all time until I saw this trailer, watch this.
00:27:04.180
I'm alone with the memory of my days in the sun
00:27:14.180
If you touch me, you'll understand what happiness is
00:27:52.180
It does, first of all, look like Furries the Musical
00:27:56.180
It looks like a musical, that's what it looks like
00:28:29.180
So, therefore, I'm going to make you endure it as well
00:28:39.180
I've been falling behind on yours and Mr. Shapiro's videos
00:28:48.180
However, this is about the whole Ariel casting controversy
00:33:57.180
The internet comes onto the scene in the mid 90s
00:38:15.180
It was like, well, how was I going to define it?
00:39:19.180
Imagine the greatest possible basketball player
00:39:49.180
And therefore, if he's the greatest possible basketball player
00:40:48.180
Who says that it's greater to exist than not exist?
00:42:15.180
So I think that that's a good sort of argument to make
00:42:24.180
But the attraction to a logical necessity argument
00:42:48.180
They're not making arguments from logical necessity
00:42:57.180
And I think that that leads to the conclusion that God exists
00:43:04.180
Because it's not logically necessary by those arguments
00:43:07.180
You are allowing the possibility that maybe he doesn't
00:43:29.180
But I think the reason some people are uncomfortable with it
00:43:56.180
And so I think with the logical necessity argument
00:44:56.180
