The Matt Walsh Show - Ep. 308 - Knives Out For Joe Biden

00:00:00.000 Today on the Matt Walsh Show, another debate yesterday.

00:00:01.960 Did Joe Biden do enough to withstand the onslaught from all comers?

00:00:06.220 Also, Kirsten Gillibrand insults her husband on the debate stage

00:00:09.160 in an effort to approve her feminist credentials. 1.00

00:00:12.240 That was interesting. We'll talk about that.

00:00:13.500 And there's a racist tape of Ronald Reagan floating around out there we'll discuss.

00:00:17.160 Finally, I'll respond to a leftist who was very upset about my position on the minimum wage,

00:00:21.120 so I'm going to respond to his arguments such as they were today on the Matt Walsh Show.

00:00:30.000 You know, before we get started with all the important news and everything today,

00:00:33.600 and there's a lot of it, there's a lot to cover, but I need to,

00:00:36.640 and this is awkward because I'm here in L.A. at the Daily Wire studios this week,

00:00:40.080 but I need to air my grievances about someone in this company.

00:00:43.940 I was at dinner last night with all the writers on the site, and it went well,

00:00:50.340 except for, I'm not going to mention any names,

00:00:52.440 but someone put strawberries on their pizza in my presence. 0.92

00:00:58.340 And I took a picture of it, I put it on Twitter.

00:01:00.240 Here's the picture right here, just as proof.

00:01:02.240 Strawberries on pizza.

00:01:04.020 Now, I suffered a great deal of trauma witnessing this.

00:01:07.780 I'm firmly in the don't knock it till you try it camp, so I did try it myself.

00:01:11.160 And I can report that strawberries on pizza tastes like strawberries on pizza.

00:01:14.480 It's basically exactly, it tastes as though you have put strawberries on your pizza.

00:01:17.640 It's exactly what you expect. It's disgusting. 0.83

00:01:19.580 Listen, I know that some sociopaths and terrorists and serial killers 0.99

00:01:23.020 will put pineapple on their pizza.

00:01:25.300 That's bad enough.

00:01:26.320 But we have to draw the line somewhere, okay?

00:01:28.120 We can't just take the whole bowl of fruit salad and dump it on the pizza.

00:01:30.940 There's got, we've got to draw the line somewhere.

00:01:32.640 And this was just a travesty.

00:01:34.980 And I am going to be filing a complaint with HR about that.

00:01:39.200 But Democratic debate last night.

00:01:42.140 Another one.

00:01:42.760 It was almost as revolting as strawberry on pizza.

00:01:45.460 We'll talk about that.

00:01:46.200 We'll do some highlights.

00:01:47.760 And then we're going to move on from the debate and a couple other things.

00:01:51.700 We're going to respond to an attack on me.

00:01:53.980 And we've also got to talk about the racist Reagan tapes that maybe you heard about last night.

00:01:58.580 All right.

00:01:58.800 A few moments from the debate last night.

00:02:00.100 The thing that I think everyone is talking about, the most important moment was Joe Biden apparently giving the audience some kind of secret code.

00:02:06.240 I don't know if this was a secret message to the Russians or if he was, these are the coordinates to buried treasure or maybe this was the launch code for a nuclear attack.

00:02:14.820 I'm not sure.

00:02:15.520 But something very strange happened last night at the at the end of the debate.

00:02:20.480 Watch this.

00:02:21.700 This is the United States of America.

00:02:24.480 We've acted together.

00:02:25.900 We have never, never, never been unable to overcome whatever the problem was.

00:02:30.560 If you agree with me, go to Joe 30330 and help me in this fight.

00:02:38.740 Thank you very much.

00:02:39.720 Now, by the way, if you actually, which I did, if you go to Joe 30330.com, it takes you to this video.

00:02:57.640 Hi there.

00:02:58.440 I'm Josh Fayer.

00:02:59.120 And today I'm launching my exploratory committee for the 2020 presidential race.

00:03:03.960 Now, I may be the youngest candidate by far in this race, but I know I have what it takes.

00:03:09.720 I'm the only candidate currently running on a no homework in college position.

00:03:13.860 Now, some say that this type of policy is unneeded, self-serving, and that no one really wants it.

00:03:20.200 But my comprehensive polling has shown irrefutably that college students support my position.

00:03:27.160 So there you go.

00:03:28.100 I can't make heads or tails of that, but that's what happened.

00:03:30.760 Now, Cory Booker, moving on to some of the other candidates.

00:03:34.760 Cory Booker is possibly the biggest phony in the race, which is obviously quite a statement.

00:03:41.460 And I'm going to show you what I mean.

00:03:44.080 Here is Booker at one point calling for unity.

00:03:48.180 And in fact, I know we talked yesterday and I said that when I am in charge of the world, if a political candidate offers an irrelevant anecdote, a trap door will open and they'll be sent into waters and eaten by sharks.

00:04:05.100 I would also add in that category people at political debates who call for unity and say, you know, we all just need to stop the fighting and forget about this and get together.

00:04:15.060 It's called a debate.

00:04:17.000 OK, you're supposed to be there.

00:04:19.020 You're not supposed to be unified.

00:04:19.860 You're supposed to be arguing with each other.

00:04:21.060 So that's literally the whole point.

00:04:22.920 But here is Cory Booker seeming to struggle with the concept of what a debate is.

00:04:28.800 The person is enjoying this debate most right now is Donald Trump, as we pit Democrats against each other while he is working right now to take away America's health care.

00:04:39.020 So you see, he's mad at CNN for pitting Democrats against each other, which, again, is it's a Democrat debate.

00:04:46.240 What do you think they're going to do?

00:04:47.360 That's like a linebacker, you know, being interviewed after the game by a reporter and complaining that he's sick and tired of the NFL pitting football players against each other.

00:04:56.420 That's it's the whole point.

00:04:58.200 And Cory Booker well understands that because in the very same debate where he decries Democrats going against each other, he also did this.

00:05:07.360 Well, my response is that this is a crisis in our country because we have treated issues of race and poverty, 0.99

00:05:14.580 mental health and addiction with locking people up and not lifting them up.

00:05:21.180 And Mr. Vice President has said that since the 1970s, every major crime bill, every crime bill, major and minor, has had his name on it.

00:05:31.980 And so those are your words, not not mine.

00:05:34.160 And this is one of those instances where the House was set on fire and you claimed responsibility for those laws.

00:05:42.680 And you can't just now come out with a plan to put out that fire.

00:05:46.320 We have got to have far more bold action on criminal justice reform.

00:05:52.260 We have a system right now that's broken.

00:05:55.120 And if you want to compare records, and frankly, I'm shocked that you do, I am happy to do that because all of the problems that he is talking about that he created,

00:06:05.180 I actually led the bill that got passed into law that reverses the damage that your bills that you were, frankly, to correct you, Mr. Vice President,

00:06:13.340 you were bragging, calling it the Biden crime bill up till 2000.

00:06:16.940 Thank you, Senator.

00:06:17.420 Okay, so it's, we have to stop pitting Democrats against each other. 1.00

00:06:22.500 Also, FYI, Joe Biden is a piece of crap. 1.00

00:06:24.900 Anyway, we need unity. 1.00

00:06:26.740 So that's basically what he did there.

00:06:28.780 But the two, I think the two headlines from the debate are the trouncings suffered by Kamala Harris and Kirsten Gillibrand,

00:06:37.740 both women who desperately deserve to be humiliated on stage. 1.00

00:06:42.220 And they were.

00:06:43.640 So here's Tulsi Gabbard in probably the most talked about moment.

00:06:48.300 Destroying, as they say, Kamala Harris.

00:06:51.560 Now, Senator Harris says she's proud of her record as a prosecutor and that she'll be a prosecutor president.

00:06:56.660 But I'm deeply concerned about this record.

00:06:59.280 There are too many examples to cite, but she put over 1,500 people in jail for marijuana violations 1.00

00:07:04.680 and then laughed about it when she was asked if she ever smoked marijuana.

00:07:07.640 She blocked evidence.

00:07:09.960 She blocked evidence that would have freed an innocent man from death row until the courts forced her to do so.

00:07:18.120 She kept people in prison beyond their sentences to use them as cheap labor for the state of California. 1.00

00:07:23.220 And she fought to keep cash bail system in place that impacts poor people in the worst kind of way. 1.00

00:07:30.500 The bottom line is, Senator Harris, when you were in a position to make a difference and an impact in these people's lives, you did not.

00:07:38.040 And worse yet, in the case of those who were on death row, innocent people,

00:07:42.740 you actually blocked evidence from being revealed that would have freed them until you were forced to do so.

00:07:48.600 There is no excuse for that.

00:07:49.980 And the people who suffered under your reign as prosecutor, you owe them an apology.

00:07:56.220 I am maybe in the minority among conservatives in that I think Harris would be a formidable challenge in the general election for Donald Trump.

00:08:04.540 But it doesn't matter anyway, because she ain't making it to the general election.

00:08:07.880 Democrats simply will not stand for someone who ever had anything to do with enforcing the law.

00:08:13.760 They don't want anything to do with that.

00:08:15.360 And when I say that, now, it's sort of funny that one of the primary attacks on Kamala Harris among Democrats is that she is guilty of having enforced the law when she was attorney general.

00:08:28.800 But I don't mean that as a defense of Kamala Harris, because she was also, and I totally agree with this, she was completely corrupt. 0.66

00:08:34.260 This is the person, and you're not going to hear a Democrat bring this up in a negative way.

00:08:37.660 But this is the same person who, as attorney general, while receiving donations from Planned Parenthood, launched attacks on Planned Parenthood's enemies.

00:08:52.740 The Center for Medical Progress, Dave Daleiden, and the people who were exposing corruption in Planned Parenthood, Kamala Harris is the one who spearheaded the campaign to shut them down, to legally persecute them.

00:09:05.480 And while doing that, she was not only accepting money from Planned Parenthood, but she had a, while she was spearheading this effort as attorney general, she had a thing on her website calling people to support and donate to Planned Parenthood.

00:09:22.260 So she was not even trying to hide the fact that she was operating as a minion of the abortion industry. 1.00

00:09:28.920 So I don't weep for Kamala Harris at all.

00:09:31.120 And then we had this kerfuffle, if I could call it that, between Biden and Gillibrand.

00:09:37.480 Now, for context here, Gillibrand is trying to hit Biden for an allegedly sexist op-ed that he wrote 38 years ago, back in 80 or 81, where he opposed a bill that I guess would have given tax breaks to some mothers who send their kids to daycare.

00:09:52.960 And this was sexist, Gillibrand says. And here's here's.

00:09:58.580 Well, let's go right to Biden's response. Here it is.

00:10:00.840 That was a long time ago. And here's what it was about. It would have given people making today $100,000 a year tax break for child care.

00:10:09.800 I did not want that. I wanted the child care to go to people making less than $100,000. 0.55

00:10:15.240 And that's what it was about. As a single father who, in fact, raised three children for five years by myself, I have some idea what it costs.

00:10:24.020 In the very beginning, my deceased wife worked, but we had children. My present wife has worked all the way through raising our children. 0.68

00:10:30.720 I was deeply involved in all these things. I came up with the It's On Us proposal to see to it that women were treated more decently on college campuses. 1.00

00:10:38.580 You came to Syracuse University with me and said it was wonderful. I'm passionate about the concern, making sure women are treated equally.

00:10:47.040 I don't know what's happened except that you're now running for president.

00:10:49.880 Okay, so Joe Biden, unlike the first debate, has figured out how to respond to attacks against him forcefully without being seen as getting down in the mud.

00:11:03.520 So in other words, he's figured out how to be a front runner, which up until now, I don't think he knew how to do that.

00:11:10.100 But now that he's figured that out, I think it's bad news for the other candidates.

00:11:14.540 Before we move on, though, and I almost forgot I wanted to. So let's let's actually go back. Let's rewind a little bit.

00:11:23.460 So we just saw Biden's response, which was pretty good.

00:11:28.180 I want to play some of Gillibrand's original attack on Biden.

00:11:32.660 Because there's something she said in there that was, well, it was interesting, I thought. Watch this.

00:11:36.880 I think we have to have a broader conversation about whether we value women and whether we want to make sure women have every opportunity in the workplace.

00:11:44.360 And I want to address Vice President Biden directly.

00:11:47.660 When the Senate was debating middle class affordability for child care, he wrote an op-ed.

00:11:53.580 He voted against it, the only vote.

00:11:55.200 But what he wrote in op-ed was that he believed that women working outside the home would, quote, create the deterioration of family.

00:12:04.880 He also said that women who were working outside the home were, quote, avoiding responsibility.

00:12:09.920 And I just need to understand, as a woman who's worked my entire career as the primary wage earner, as the primary caregiver.

00:12:19.260 In fact, the second my second son, Henry, is here.

00:12:22.520 All right. So stop right there.

00:12:24.720 She says that that she's the she is the primary caregiver and primary wage earner in her family.

00:12:31.820 She makes that claim. I mean, I don't even see how that could be true.

00:12:37.840 If you're working full time, you really can't be the primary caregiver.

00:12:42.280 Right. Unless you're working.

00:12:43.860 And while you're working, you have your kids locked in a closet somewhere.

00:12:47.760 In lieu of that, somebody is watching your kids while you're being the breadwinner, right?

00:12:54.840 Someone has to be taking care of them. It's not you.

00:12:57.000 And especially in Gillibrand's case, her job takes her out of the state for weeks at a time because she's a lawmaker. 1.00

00:13:03.180 So someone has to be caring for your kids.

00:13:06.400 And that person then would be the primary caregiver, not you.

00:13:09.440 So think about now we that was an attack ostensibly on Joe Biden.

00:13:18.180 Think about how her husband must feel.

00:13:20.460 Imagine if you're Gillibrand's husband, which would be unfortunate for a number of reasons.

00:13:26.420 But imagine if your husband and you do not turn on the debate.

00:13:29.140 And here she is in front of a national audience, emasculating you and insulting you and essentially implying you do nothing. 0.80

00:13:36.600 I mean, if your wife is the primary caregiver and primary breadwinner, what do you do?

00:13:42.040 You apparently have no real function.

00:13:44.120 That's what Gillibrand said.

00:13:46.080 Now, it goes without saying, of course, that if can you imagine if a man were to get up at a debate and say,

00:13:54.060 hey, listen, I earned the money in my family and I take care of the kids.

00:13:58.320 He would he'd probably be arrested for domestic abuse the next morning.

00:14:01.640 At a minimum, he would have to issue a groveling apology for for saying something like that.

00:14:09.280 I mean, can you imagine the outrage of a man or to make that claim about himself?

00:14:12.240 But we encourage in this society, we encourage women to say stuff like this, even if it's not true.

00:14:17.500 This is what we encourage where, you know, feminists. 1.00

00:14:21.340 Said, hey, we want to go out and and be the breadwinners.

00:14:25.980 That's what feminists said for decades. 1.00

00:14:28.740 And so now many women do that. 1.00

00:14:31.120 But they want to have their cake and eat it, too.

00:14:33.060 They want to have both.

00:14:34.160 They couldn't.

00:14:34.860 Yeah, I'm going to go be the breadwinner.

00:14:36.800 But because of their arrogance, they they cannot admit that there's someone else in the family doing anything.

00:14:44.400 So they want to be the primary breadwinner.

00:14:45.900 But they also want to still lay claim to being the primary caregiver, even though they're out of the house and somebody else is watching the kids.

00:14:52.620 So that's what you get now.

00:14:54.140 I think in our culture, a lot of this super mom stuff for these women who say, I do everything. 1.00

00:15:00.480 I, you know, I I care for the kids.

00:15:02.780 I'm I am.

00:15:04.000 I am every job.

00:15:05.000 I'm a CEO.

00:15:05.960 I'm the teacher.

00:15:06.960 I'm the blah, blah, blah.

00:15:08.500 No, you're not.

00:15:09.780 You're not the super mom.

00:15:11.120 You don't do everything.

00:15:11.960 There are people in your in your household who do things and all we're learning from your attitude is that you don't appreciate them.

00:15:19.760 You have no appreciation for them.

00:15:21.760 You're ungrateful.

00:15:22.700 That's the only thing we're learning is that the people who are picking up the slack because there is some slack because you're not superhuman.

00:15:30.240 What we're learning is that you have no appreciation for them.

00:15:33.960 So I think we need to we don't encourage that in men.

00:15:36.880 We don't really encourage men to think or claim that they do everything.

00:15:42.540 In fact, we discourage it.

00:15:44.380 Yeah, we encourage this in women. 1.00

00:15:45.580 And I think it's it's damaging.

00:15:47.320 It's damaging to marriages.

00:15:48.900 If somebody in a marriage feels unappreciated, feels feels like they're their contributions are not being noticed.

00:15:56.920 That's deadly to a marriage. 0.79

00:15:59.180 And I think that's why a lot of marriages with feminists don't work out. 1.00

00:16:02.640 All right.

00:16:04.340 Let's move on.

00:16:05.740 Yesterday, many on the left were celebrating gloating unapologetically openly after the Atlantic.

00:16:14.760 I believe it was the Atlantic who first dug up audio from a conversation nearly 50 years ago.

00:16:20.960 So we are we already did.

00:16:22.840 We were doing an op-ed in 1981.

00:16:24.640 We were talking about that.

00:16:25.860 Let's go back to 1971.

00:16:27.520 Let's go back five decades to a conversation between the then governor of California, Ronald Reagan,

00:16:35.720 and the then president of the United States, Richard Nixon.

00:16:40.100 Richard Nixon famously had a had a thing about recording people.

00:16:44.840 So he recorded the phone call and the National Archives five decades later decided to release this phone call.

00:16:50.980 Or I believe it was they'd already released parts of the phone call, but they had taken this part out.

00:16:55.040 Now they really now they released this part of it.

00:16:57.020 Reagan and Nixon were talking about a vote at the U.N. to recognize the People's Republic of China.

00:17:04.380 And Reagan was complaining about some of the African delegates who celebrated the results.

00:17:08.920 He was annoyed by that.

00:17:11.520 Celebrated the vote.

00:17:12.880 And this is what he said about those African delegates.

00:17:16.340 Last night I tell you to watch that thing on television was dying as I did.

00:17:20.980 Yeah.

00:17:21.500 To see those people from those African countries.

00:17:25.560 If you didn't catch that, what he said was last night I he said last night I tell you to watch that thing on television as I did.

00:17:37.780 To see those monkeys from those African countries. 1.00

00:17:41.300 Damn them. 1.00

00:17:41.860 They're still uncomfortable wearing shoes. 1.00

00:17:44.540 That's what Reagan said.

00:17:46.400 Now, as I said, the left was pretty ecstatic about this because, of course, Reagan was a white Republican. 0.61

00:17:51.660 And also he's been an icon on the right now for decades.

00:17:54.460 And and so now we know he's racist and and there's no getting around that.

00:17:59.840 Right. 1.00

00:18:00.120 What he said is, of course, racist goes without saying racist as hell, actually, and repugnant and disgusting. 0.99

00:18:07.200 So there's no justifying it or trying to. 0.98

00:18:09.500 It wasn't technically racist.

00:18:10.900 It was none of that.

00:18:11.580 It was it was racist as as as all get out.

00:18:14.440 But here's my my thing about this.

00:18:18.520 If we're going to tear down Reagan now, 50 years later over something he said privately.

00:18:25.580 And I'm expecting now that the statues are going to come down, that his name is going to come off buildings and off of airports, which some on the left have already been calling for.

00:18:34.820 They were they called for it yesterday.

00:18:35.800 Immediately is the first thing they thought is, OK, we're taking we're taking out. 0.79

00:18:38.780 Yes, we can finally we could we can tear down another statue of a white person. 0.82

00:18:41.880 Yes. 0.72

00:18:42.940 Like I said, they were so excited about it.

00:18:44.940 That's the thing about leftists.

00:18:45.900 They are so excited when they discover that people are racist.

00:18:48.800 They love it.

00:18:49.580 They can't get enough of it.

00:18:50.760 But if we're doing that.

00:18:55.600 I again have to insist and I hate to be a stickler.

00:19:00.320 I have to again insist that we do that we be consistent about this.

00:19:03.820 We need to have a consistent standard.

00:19:06.680 A consistent approach.

00:19:09.820 To what we do when we discover skeletons in the closet of people who died a long time ago.

00:19:16.660 You know, you've got a skeleton in the grave because they're dead and turns out that the skeleton has skeletons.

00:19:22.940 What do you do when you find out that a skeleton has skeletons?

00:19:27.340 I think we need a consistent approach.

00:19:30.600 Right now, there is not a consistent approach.

00:19:34.640 Well, if there's any consistency to it, it seems to be.

00:19:37.640 If we can discover bad things about a white, if the person is white and conservative or someone who's important to conservatives or known, you know, was known as a conservative. 0.99

00:19:54.840 If they have those two things, then whatever we find about them, we can tear down their legacy and destroy them posthumously and kill them all over again. 0.98

00:20:04.280 You know, that seems to be the standard. 0.98

00:20:06.080 But I don't I don't think it's a very fair standard.

00:20:11.620 I think we won't need one that doesn't take race into consideration.

00:20:14.780 The reason I bring this up, you know, just as one example, a few months ago, we talked about those FBI tapes that were reported by a Martin Luther King Jr. biographer.

00:20:27.700 Someone who's a very credible source, not not not some not someone who had a vendetta against Martin Luther King Jr.

00:20:34.040 By any stretch is someone, a biographer, someone who really respected the man.

00:20:36.620 But he reported on tapes that the FBI has of of Martin Luther King Jr.

00:20:41.540 that include many awful things, many things far worse, actually, than what Reagan said, as bad as that was. 0.63

00:20:49.960 Allegedly, they have a tape, for instance, of Martin Luther King Jr. laughing as he watches a woman get raped.

00:20:56.240 And then many and then they have tapes of violence, you know, when he is committing violence against women and saying horrible things about women, which apparently, according to these tapes, allegedly he did all the time.

00:21:06.960 OK, we talked about that a few few weeks, a few months ago.

00:21:11.520 And what I was told, especially by those on the left, is that, hey, listen, it's not it's not relevant.

00:21:17.540 It doesn't he still he still accomplished what he accomplished.

00:21:20.840 Why are we digging this up now? This is racist to do this.

00:21:24.300 Why are we attacking this this this this great black man?

00:21:26.940 It's we can't do that.

00:21:29.220 OK, well, if that's our standard, if we're saying, hey, let's let's leave the dead alone.

00:21:35.520 And if somebody has a legacy for accomplishing great things, that legacy, we shouldn't look to undo or destroy that legacy based on their own personal flaws.

00:21:48.180 If that's what we're saying about Martin Luther King Jr., which, by the way, I agree with that.

00:21:54.920 That's what I'm saying about Martin Luther King Jr.

00:21:58.900 This stuff that we know about him now, allegedly.

00:22:02.100 We have to take that into account.

00:22:03.460 We can't ignore it. I'm not saying we ignore it.

00:22:05.100 That becomes part of the story, but it doesn't undermine the fact that Martin Luther King Jr.

00:22:10.400 accomplished great things and was in many ways a great man, but he had great, great, great flaws.

00:22:16.380 So that's what I'm saying.

00:22:17.500 We think that's how we look at Martin Luther King Jr.

00:22:20.500 Now, we don't have to tear down his monuments or anything like that because those monuments are there to celebrate what he did and what he did still was great.

00:22:30.320 Well, if that's what we're saying about MLK, then I think we have to apply it to Ronald Reagan or any white person from the past.

00:22:40.280 Ronald Reagan accomplished great things, not the least of which being winning the Cold War.

00:22:46.960 And so that's one of the things we celebrate.

00:22:48.300 That is not we can't take that away now that we find out he said horrible things in private.

00:22:55.800 All right.

00:22:56.400 Um, so let's, uh, let's do this then.

00:23:02.100 Now, if you're watching the show a few days ago, somebody alerted me to this.

00:23:09.440 It's from a show called the majority report with a guy named Sam Seder, Seder, Seder, Seder, Seder, Seder, like the tree.

00:23:20.340 I think I'll just go with Seder. 0.99

00:23:21.980 Um, anyway, Sam, who wants to make it very clear that I am, by the way, terrible at my job and irrelevant and I am just so bad in so many ways and so stupid. 0.96

00:23:32.920 And you'll see, he wants to make that very clear. 0.91

00:23:35.380 He keeps going back to it yet.

00:23:37.100 He still spent 17 entire minutes of his show, um, a few days ago responding to comments I made about the minimum wage,

00:23:44.080 which is always interesting to me when someone, you know, uh, responds to me yet also make sure to mention that.

00:23:51.880 Oh, but you're irrelevant.

00:23:52.880 But by the way, let me, uh, let me respond to everything you're saying.

00:23:56.860 Now, if you'll excuse the self-indulgence, we're going to watch together as Sam plays clips of me and responds to them.

00:24:04.540 And I have to play the clips of me as well because, uh, or else you won't understand what he's talking about.

00:24:08.080 You probably won't understand what he's talking about even with the context.

00:24:10.600 But, uh, anyway, we'll, we'll, we'll, we'll take a look.

00:24:13.220 So let's, let's begin.

00:24:14.420 Let us find the most moral amongst us to tell us why people don't need a minimum wage.

00:24:25.400 Who do we have that is the most moral amongst us yet also has the ability to sound like the oldest junior high student in the country?

00:24:37.160 Why, of course it's Matt Walsh on the daily wire.

00:24:41.860 Okay, we got to stop it right there.

00:24:43.780 Just, just for a minute.

00:24:44.680 Um, now if Sam thinks that I'm the most moral among us, well, that's his affair.

00:24:51.340 But if, if, if he's implying that I have made that claim about myself or that I've even implied that I'm this moral, morally upright person, that he's going to have to provide examples of that.

00:25:03.700 Because I don't think I've ever claimed to be the most moral or to even be moral at all.

00:25:11.620 I don't think I've ever put myself forward as a moral example.

00:25:14.640 This is something you find a lot on the left.

00:25:16.200 Or if you make a moral claim, if you make a moral argument, they're going to automatically accuse you of being self-righteous and holier than thou.

00:25:23.560 No, a self, what, here's what a self-righteous, holier than thou person does.

00:25:27.120 A self-righteous, holier than thou person puts themselves forward as the moral example for everyone else to follow.

00:25:35.380 I don't think I've ever done that ever in my life.

00:25:40.000 Um, now if someone has an example of it, they can provide it.

00:25:42.280 But simply making a moral argument doesn't make you self-righteous.

00:25:46.300 Now here's the thing.

00:25:48.100 What Sam is about to do here is make a moral critique of me.

00:25:53.120 So if, if, if making moral arguments makes you self-righteous and holier than thou, then so is Sam.

00:25:58.300 That's, uh, so he's already contradicting himself.

00:26:00.220 We're only about 30 seconds in.

00:26:01.540 This is already a mess.

00:26:02.720 All right, let's go back to the clip.

00:26:04.060 Why, of course, it's Matt Walsh on the Daily Wire.

00:26:10.260 Uh, I, I do support a minimum wage, but the minimum wage that I support is zero.

00:26:16.680 I think zero is the baseline.

00:26:19.060 Zero should be the minimum wage.

00:26:20.500 I, I definitely don't think the minimum wage, it shouldn't go below that.

00:26:23.320 Okay, so there shouldn't be a negative, uh, nobody should.

00:26:27.340 Breaking news.

00:26:29.640 Where's my breaking news thing?

00:26:34.060 Daily Wire podcast host denounces slavery.

00:26:41.120 There you go.

00:26:42.060 That's pretty big.

00:26:43.260 Yep.

00:26:43.740 Breaking news.

00:26:44.480 Guy named Sam Seder takes joke literally.

00:26:47.380 Well done, Sam.

00:26:48.840 Okay.

00:26:49.080 Back to the video.

00:26:50.180 Zero is the baseline.

00:26:51.200 The baseline should be the baseline wage for work because that's the baseline amount of effort

00:26:57.720 you can put in.

00:26:58.600 Um, it's possible for someone to do zero work, which means that they have earned zero dollars.

00:27:05.160 Do zero work at zero.

00:27:06.120 I would offer this, this, that we're watching, assuming he's paid, is disproving his very theory there.

00:27:15.440 Because I feel like we're watching someone who has put in zero effort or minimal effort,

00:27:20.980 but getting paid far more for it.

00:27:22.960 I mean, I feel like he should be paying us to watch him.

00:27:25.580 On some level, we're getting paid to watch him.

00:27:28.280 So that is actually happening.

00:27:30.480 The guy just found out what the minimum wage means.

00:27:33.800 But he doesn't understand.

00:27:37.160 It's the minimum wage.

00:27:39.160 So it means the least amount of money that you can get for working for an hour.

00:27:45.320 For having your labor reserved for that hour.

00:27:47.720 Right.

00:27:48.320 Exactly.

00:27:49.380 Because you can still fire people.

00:27:51.540 I mean, I wonder what, I mean, Matt Walsh thinks about wage theft, which is basically the

00:27:55.400 opposite of the dynamic he's talking about.

00:27:57.200 But let's listen to this because this is fascinating.

00:27:59.080 It really is like, I feel like I understand my teenage daughter a little bit better when

00:28:06.800 I watch this guy work through a problem.

00:28:08.880 You have to warn her against guys like this.

00:28:11.200 Oh, believe me.

00:28:12.340 She knows that.

00:28:13.620 I'm just watching them work through sort of concepts that they don't seem to be terribly

00:28:18.480 familiar with.

00:28:19.360 That's interesting to me.

00:28:21.340 All right.

00:28:21.600 A few things here.

00:28:22.940 We're now, well, it feels like we're hours into this, but we're certainly several minutes.

00:28:27.660 And I haven't heard an argument.

00:28:30.020 Have you?

00:28:32.860 I haven't heard this guy explain why I'm wrong.

00:28:35.280 Well, you know, let me know if I, but I, I, if you detected an argument, I let me know.

00:28:39.740 I have not yet detected an argument.

00:28:41.520 I've seen a lot of snortling and snorting and chuckling, snortling, combine them.

00:28:46.400 It's really the kind of pompous eyebrow raising. 1.00

00:28:49.460 Oh, how foolish, how silly. 1.00

00:28:51.180 This person doesn't know what they're talking about. 1.00

00:28:52.860 I've seen a lot of that, but I haven't seen anything approaching an argument.

00:28:55.760 So just saying over and over and over again, this person is so wrong, how wrong they are.

00:29:01.300 That's not an argument.

00:29:03.000 Okay.

00:29:03.340 My basic contention is that the minimum wage should be zero because it's possible for a 1.00

00:29:11.520 person to do zero work.

00:29:14.660 Okay.

00:29:15.240 My here's to try to make it as simple as possible.

00:29:21.240 So say, so even someone like Sam can understand, I believe that when you do a job, you should

00:29:29.580 be paid for the work you do that revolutionary.

00:29:33.460 I know, but that's, that's my, that's sort of my thought process.

00:29:36.460 So if you do zero work for a company, then you get $0.

00:29:41.480 If you do a dollar's worth of work, you get a dollar.

00:29:45.700 If you do $15 worth of work, you get, that's, that's the way I think it should work.

00:29:50.640 Um, you get paid according to your worth to your employer as an employee.

00:29:55.400 Okay.

00:29:55.560 It's not, you're not getting paid according to your worth as a human being.

00:29:58.440 We all have infinite worth as human beings.

00:30:00.340 I believe that as a Christian.

00:30:01.700 So, but we can't all get paid in infinity dollars, right?

00:30:04.800 Um, so we're going to get paid according to our worth as employees.

00:30:11.040 Now someone, yes, someone who's literally worth zero, uh, that's probably someone who's

00:30:15.240 going to be fired.

00:30:15.860 That's someone who's not going to have a job anymore.

00:30:18.620 So Sam is exactly right about that.

00:30:20.380 So now, now I think he's getting it.

00:30:21.740 Maybe he's, maybe he's catching on the people who are on the minimum wage, the real minimum 0.71

00:30:25.740 wage in this scenario are probably going to be the people who mostly don't have jobs.

00:30:30.220 They have zero worth to any employer, thus they have no job, thus their wage in effect

00:30:35.820 is zero.

00:30:36.900 And that's the starting point.

00:30:38.800 Okay.

00:30:39.060 The least amount you can be worth to an employer is nothing, right?

00:30:45.840 What's hard to understand about this?

00:30:47.080 Have you ever heard of the concept of zero, Sam?

00:30:49.880 It's possible to be worth nothing to an employer.

00:30:52.580 For instance, right now I am as an employee, I am worth nothing to, um, Subway because I don't

00:30:59.260 work for them.

00:31:00.220 So I get paid zero from them.

00:31:01.620 I, I'm worth nothing to them.

00:31:02.760 My, my wage from them is zero.

00:31:04.440 All right.

00:31:05.500 What I'm saying is that a minimum wage of $15.

00:31:07.980 Now I know that's, it's an obvious point, but so you might say, why am I, why am I bringing

00:31:12.860 it up?

00:31:13.440 Well, because people like Sam struggle with it.

00:31:15.680 So I feel like I have to, you know, he's someone on a remedial level here, which is fine.

00:31:19.360 You know, I'm not, I don't want to make fun of him, but so I've got to just slow down

00:31:22.480 and spell this out for him.

00:31:24.260 What I'm saying is that a minimum wage of $15 an hour doesn't make sense because it is

00:31:30.260 assumes, it commands really that every person who has a job must necessarily be worth at

00:31:36.480 least $15 an hour to their employer, just by the fact that they exist and they walk in

00:31:41.300 the door.

00:31:41.740 I don't think that's the case.

00:31:44.040 So Sam, of course, goes for another personal dig there, as you saw, says that I'm worth

00:31:48.680 zero to my employer.

00:31:52.060 But again, not an argument.

00:31:53.800 That's just an insult, a lame one.

00:31:55.640 And here's the thing, Sam.

00:31:56.420 It's also not accurate because I'm, I'm not worth zero to my employer.

00:32:01.420 I'm not, I'm not even worth zero to you because you're using me for content.

00:32:05.580 Um, I'm not worth zero to my employer.

00:32:08.780 And in this business, it's pretty easy for my employer to tell what I'm worth because

00:32:13.820 they can look at traffic.

00:32:14.720 They can look at ad revenue.

00:32:15.540 They can look at the size of my platform, so on and so forth.

00:32:17.940 And according to all of that, I am worth more than zero, at least, um, you might not like

00:32:26.720 that.

00:32:27.060 You might not like me.

00:32:28.120 You might think I should be worth zero.

00:32:30.420 You might think I'm a terrible person.

00:32:32.440 That's fine.

00:32:33.300 And maybe that's all true, but it doesn't matter, you know, because I bring in money to my employer.

00:32:37.980 And so therefore I'm worth money to them.

00:32:40.380 That's all.

00:32:40.800 It's a, it's a transactional relationship.

00:32:42.800 That's all it is.

00:32:44.020 That's how it works.

00:32:45.880 Again, a simple concept.

00:32:48.060 Um, and then I thought it was interesting there in that clip where he goes and he, uh,

00:32:51.540 he goes on to insult me by comparing me to his teenage daughter.

00:32:56.280 Great dad.

00:32:57.000 This guy is, he uses comparisons to his teenage daughter as an insult.

00:33:01.940 Okay.

00:33:02.340 Wonderful man, isn't he?

00:33:03.620 Um, now I got to tell you, I, you know, I'm sure your teenage daughter is a wonderful

00:33:06.660 person.

00:33:06.920 So I don't take that as an insult.

00:33:08.560 You apparently are, you know, have a low opinion of her.

00:33:11.000 I, I, I don't, I don't know her, but I'm sure she's wonderful.

00:33:14.500 So I, you know, I'm, I'll take that as a compliment.

00:33:16.820 Actually.

00:33:17.920 Um, okay.

00:33:19.280 Now we're going to go back to a clip of me and, and his response.

00:33:22.240 Uh, this is me first talking about a kind of typical experience I had interacting with

00:33:28.280 somebody at a fast food restaurant who, in my view, and I was trying to illustrate just

00:33:34.660 with a personal experience, one that we've all had.

00:33:37.680 Um, so, you know, it's not, not anything unique and that's the point, but I'm trying to illustrate

00:33:42.500 how a person might be worth less than $15.

00:33:47.160 Um, and so let's go to that clip.

00:33:49.940 And, um, so here's how that interaction work.

00:33:52.780 That interaction went verbatim.

00:33:54.900 Um, and as I said, we've all had interactions like this.

00:33:57.860 So I walk up, the cashier goes, can I help you?

00:34:02.460 Uh, yes.

00:34:03.060 I'll have the large, uh, number one, please.

00:34:05.060 Thank you.

00:34:05.780 Big Mac.

00:34:06.220 Is that it?

00:34:09.300 Yes.

00:34:11.160 That's $6.57.

00:34:13.000 Oh, actually, sorry.

00:34:13.960 Can you, can you change that to a medium?

00:34:20.300 Okay.

00:34:21.500 Pause it.

00:34:22.060 I want to remind you, he's being paid for this.

00:34:24.660 He's being paid money for this.

00:34:28.020 Isn't this a good time?

00:34:28.900 But here's the interesting thing.

00:34:29.960 Now, now let's just stop here because this, this would also blow his mind.

00:34:33.760 That, that meal number one, $6.57.

00:34:38.760 That means that that meal, according to Matt Walsh, you can't find that meal at a different

00:34:45.000 price anywhere else in the country, right?

00:34:48.140 Because prices are fixed.

00:34:50.020 There has to be let, there has to be more or less value on that.

00:34:54.760 Okay.

00:34:54.880 I'm confused here.

00:34:56.280 How do you get from my argument about the minimum wage that I therefore think you can't

00:35:02.180 get fast food for less than $6.57?

00:35:04.280 That doesn't even make any sense.

00:35:05.480 I think Sam is spiraling into just nonsense at this point.

00:35:10.780 But let's, let's see if we can find some kind of argument.

00:35:13.540 So let's keep watching.

00:35:15.100 He's saying that his service is not worth $15 an hour or is not worth the person who gave

00:35:23.720 him service.

00:35:24.180 The one who treated him nicely.

00:35:25.840 It's at, at, at, uh, McDonald's.

00:35:28.060 I mean, give me a break.

00:35:29.200 The idea that this guy could make a dollar more than zero or any more than like half the

00:35:36.060 people that we watch the stuff, even stuff that we disagree with.

00:35:39.460 This is bad.

00:35:41.620 That just from an entertainment perspective, it's bad.

00:35:44.400 It's bad.

00:35:45.240 It's, I know I'm making money mocking it and it's still painful.

00:35:50.020 It just blows my mind that he would think that he doesn't come off like the worst person

00:35:56.500 in the world in this.

00:35:57.800 The, the point is, is that he is proving maybe, maybe it's some type of art project, but he's

00:36:05.420 proving that the value of labor is completely subjective.

00:36:11.580 Okay.

00:36:12.280 No, see, I think Sam, what you're, what you're proving is that a person can hit the age of

00:36:17.940 50 without developing the ability to understand simple concepts.

00:36:23.380 Um, and I go back and I asked the listener again, have you heard an argument yet?

00:36:29.720 Has there been an argument?

00:36:32.240 All I've heard from this is that I'm bad.

00:36:34.160 I'm terrible.

00:36:34.940 I'm just like his daughter who he apparently isn't fond of.

00:36:38.400 Um, I'm just awful.

00:36:39.920 I'm bad.

00:36:40.900 This is how, this is how Sam argues.

00:36:42.440 And, and, and listen, there are a lot of people on the left who argue like this.

00:36:45.620 So this is how Sam, you make your point.

00:36:47.300 You say, I think X, Y, Z, because ABC and Sam's counter argument, you're bad.

00:36:52.580 You're just bad. 0.98

00:36:53.920 You're so bad. 1.00

00:36:55.240 You're bad. 1.00

00:36:56.140 You're bad, bad, bad, bad, bad, so bad. 1.00

00:37:00.500 My God. 0.98

00:37:02.340 And this guy, I think he's in his fifties.

00:37:04.200 And this is the, I mean, um, and again, Sam, the reason I'm worth more than zero to my,

00:37:11.380 so the more than zero, more than a dollar really is that I myself make money for my employer, 0.99

00:37:18.060 even if I'm bad, even if I'm the worst person in the world, talentless, terrible, stupid, 1.00

00:37:24.160 evil, doesn't matter. 1.00

00:37:26.760 That's the point.

00:37:28.420 I make money for my employer.

00:37:30.300 And so I get paid.

00:37:31.600 That's the equation.

00:37:33.160 That's it.

00:37:34.760 You make money for your employer and you get paid.

00:37:38.540 If you make money for your employer and you don't get paid, then yeah, that's wage theft.

00:37:43.700 That's wrong.

00:37:44.240 But if you're putting in the effort and you're making the money, then you get paid and you

00:37:49.720 should get paid according to how much, you know, how, how, how, how much you're, you're

00:37:55.860 worth your employer.

00:37:57.520 My contention about that fast food worker is that based on the effort and the skill he brings

00:38:03.120 to the table, his financial worth to his employer is minimal.

00:38:07.340 And the reason it's minimal is that almost anyone could do what he does.

00:38:12.520 Almost anyone could replace him.

00:38:13.680 They could fire him.

00:38:15.220 And there's a 99% chance that whoever walks in the door next, however old they are, they

00:38:19.620 could be six years old.

00:38:20.600 They could do what that guy does.

00:38:22.980 So he's just not worth that much financially to his employer.

00:38:27.600 And, and importantly here, the automated things that McDonald's, that they already have set

00:38:32.680 up, that thing can do what that guy does and do it better actually. 1.00

00:38:39.760 Now that could change.

00:38:41.660 Here's the good news.

00:38:42.700 He has the power to change it.

00:38:45.600 He could come to work tomorrow, energetic, on the ball, helpful, involved, engaged on

00:38:50.740 time, ready to work, you know, making the customers feel good, upselling, doing all this

00:38:55.420 stuff that he could do that tomorrow.

00:38:56.980 And instantly, just like that in an instant, he could be worth considerably more than a dollar

00:39:02.060 an hour.

00:39:02.640 He has that power.

00:39:03.640 He has that ability.

00:39:06.320 So that's, that's the, that's the upside to all of this.

00:39:11.840 Okay.

00:39:14.280 Let's see.

00:39:15.020 Let's, let's go.

00:39:16.760 Let's see if we can find, I'm really going to, I'll play one more clip because I'm really

00:39:19.240 looking for an argument of some kind.

00:39:21.140 We still haven't gotten one.

00:39:22.160 Um, and let's go here.

00:39:24.680 This is the closest thing to an argument we're going to get.

00:39:26.560 Uh, here it is.

00:39:27.560 The more they talk about how people don't deserve a living wage, the more they insulate themselves.

00:39:34.540 They will gain no new voters from this.

00:39:39.580 And they will just remind people that the democratic party is the one who is ensuring

00:39:43.560 that at the very least, there is a minimum wage, that the idea that you set aside an

00:39:49.920 hour to work and go work and create value beyond your wages for other people.

00:39:57.580 And it's true. 0.56

00:39:59.900 We, there will be some job loss because of this in some, there has to be some, but the

00:40:08.480 revenue generated will create other jobs.

00:40:13.740 Okay.

00:40:14.260 And that's, and that's, as I said, that's it really, um, as far as arguments go, uh, they,

00:40:18.720 they, he goes into more personal insults a little bit later on.

00:40:22.120 Uh, he says that my bookshelf is ugly.

00:40:24.260 And I mean, really, that's, that's, that's part of his rebuttal.

00:40:27.580 Um, is that I have an ugly bookshelf, which you can't see right now because I'm at the

00:40:30.500 studio, but, um, and, and I will say, I think bookshelves should be ugly.

00:40:34.940 You know, they should be cluttered.

00:40:35.940 That's what a bookshelf should look.

00:40:37.100 Meanwhile, his backdrop looks like a stained glass window and Episcopal church from like

00:40:40.840 1975, but nevermind that he says that everyone deserves a living wage.

00:40:45.160 Okay.

00:40:47.020 Not really an argument.

00:40:48.060 That's more of an assertion, but it's the best we're going to do.

00:40:51.100 So I'll, I'll, I'll deal with that.

00:40:53.600 It's a nice sentiment.

00:40:55.480 Okay.

00:40:55.840 That's something that you can shout and, and people will nod their heads.

00:41:00.560 And he's right about that.

00:41:01.860 Uh, voters love it and that's, that's fine, but who cares?

00:41:06.320 Because I'm not running for office.

00:41:07.400 I'm not a Republican politician running for office.

00:41:09.300 So I don't care.

00:41:09.860 I'm not, I'm not up here trying to say things that the voters are going to like.

00:41:13.720 I'm just telling you the truth as I see it.

00:41:16.100 And that's why I have no problem saying I have no problem saying, and this is not my recommendation

00:41:21.120 to Republican politicians that they should say this the way that I'm going to say it, but

00:41:25.460 I have no problem saying, no, not everybody deserves a living wage.

00:41:30.240 In fact, um, if I could give you just one example of a person hypothetically who wouldn't deserve

00:41:38.940 a living wage, then I have defeated.

00:41:41.160 I have disproven the thesis that everyone deserves a living wage.

00:41:43.920 Okay.

00:41:44.340 So let's take someone who we have all a person, the kind of person that we've all come across

00:41:48.720 at our jobs.

00:41:49.460 Uh, let's take someone who, uh, uh, comes into work late every day, gossips about their 0.96

00:41:55.040 fellow employees, puts an absolute bare minimum effort, is rude to the customers, is unreliable

00:42:01.220 and so on.

00:42:02.660 Okay.

00:42:04.260 Does that person deserve a living wage? 0.83

00:42:07.780 If so, how?

00:42:10.160 Based on what?

00:42:12.140 I mean, what do you mean they deserve?

00:42:15.920 Why?

00:42:16.360 Where, where does that come from?

00:42:21.080 There does this deserving nature they have, where does it come from, Sam?

00:42:24.780 Does it just come from the, it doesn't come from the, from the job they're doing because 0.99

00:42:28.700 the job is crap. 1.00

00:42:30.400 The job they're doing is crap. 1.00

00:42:32.500 So it just comes from just because they're them from the very fact that they're a body 1.00

00:42:37.560 walking into a building.

00:42:39.540 I don't think it works that way.

00:42:40.980 What about someone who steals from the cash register?

00:42:43.180 Do they deserve a living wage? 0.97

00:42:45.320 Well, no.

00:42:45.920 Okay, so we can fire them, right?

00:42:47.340 So that's fine.

00:42:47.840 Okay, so, so that's someone who doesn't deserve a living wage, right?

00:42:51.420 So we, we have now come to the conclusion that it's possible, theoretically, for a person

00:42:57.240 to not deserve a living wage.

00:42:59.380 Okay.

00:43:00.580 Uh, now we're getting somewhere.

00:43:02.640 Well, is it possible that a living wage is something you earn?

00:43:09.100 Not something you deserve simply for existing, simply because you're a warm body, but it's

00:43:16.580 something you earn.

00:43:19.560 That's, that's my contention.

00:43:21.600 And I will say this, everyone who has earned a living wage deserves a living wage.

00:43:28.940 So again, wage theft, if you've earned a certain salary and your, and your employer is not giving

00:43:33.400 it to you, that's theft.

00:43:35.240 They're stealing from you.

00:43:36.400 That's wrong.

00:43:37.040 I'm against that.

00:43:39.240 Um, and here's the great thing.

00:43:40.860 And I just have to emphasize this, the type of person I outlined who doesn't deserve a living

00:43:46.240 wage, here's, what's really great.

00:43:49.320 Um, they can deserve it.

00:43:52.260 They could deserve it tomorrow.

00:43:54.260 Just like that.

00:43:55.400 Um, they, they can deserve it by earning it and they can make that change immediately.

00:44:04.360 Especially at a job like McDonald's, one of these fast food places.

00:44:07.760 Uh, because if you, if you put in an effort that is slightly above bare minimum and you do things

00:44:15.740 like if you work at a place like McDonald's or, and I've worked these jobs, so this is how I know

00:44:20.020 that, this, that if you do radical things like tuck in your shirt, come to work on time every day,

00:44:26.560 be willing to take on extra shifts, smile to the customers, you do really basic stuff like that.

00:44:32.740 You've already set yourself above probably 80% of your coworkers.

00:44:38.000 Um, so someone who I would, if you, if you point to them to me right now, a person that I would say,

00:44:44.680 no, they don't deserve a living wage. 0.88

00:44:46.600 That's not a death sentence.

00:44:47.880 That's not a life sentence.

00:44:50.020 That, that could change in the next 30 seconds if they just change the way that they approach

00:44:54.980 their job and they become worth more to their employer in doing that.

00:45:00.900 You know, I also gave the example of there, you know, you, you go to some of these places

00:45:05.680 sometimes and, uh, yeah, we have, we, we can sometimes run into those customer service people

00:45:10.200 who are terrible, but then also sometimes you run into those customer service people who are just

00:45:14.080 amazing and are so on the ball, have so much energy or so nice and friendly that they

00:45:19.680 make you want to order more.

00:45:21.320 They make you want to come back.

00:45:23.140 They make you feel good.

00:45:24.600 I mean, if you're, if you're a customer and you're going into a, to a retail place or a restaurant,

00:45:29.160 if you feel good, you're going to buy more stuff.

00:45:33.200 And that's why the company wants you to feel good as a, so if, as an employee, if you're

00:45:37.200 making the customers feel good, then you're worth a lot to your employer.

00:45:40.760 And that's why I say you get rid of the minimum wage, this whole, I think, fallacious idea that

00:45:47.720 everybody is worth at least X amount, regardless of the work they do, you get rid of that.

00:45:53.740 Then you could have a scenario where you've got five people working behind, uh, uh, you know,

00:46:01.600 the counter at McDonald's.

00:46:03.700 Yeah.

00:46:04.100 A few of them are making four or five bucks an hour because that's all they've earned.

00:46:06.540 But you've also got people making 25 bucks an hour because they're so good at what they do.

00:46:13.100 And you enable the companies to reward the people who are really doing a great job.

00:46:17.140 That's my contention.

00:46:19.000 I don't think Sam did anything to debunk it or disprove it.

00:46:22.500 Um, so, uh, a rather pitiful performance there, unfortunately.

00:46:28.220 Um, and again, I give my condolences to his daughter who he, you know,

00:46:32.240 um, insults, um, publicly, which is, which is also unfortunate.

00:46:37.120 All right.

00:46:37.480 We're, uh, we're not gonna have time to do emails again today, but, uh, email me at

00:46:41.140 mattwalshowatgmail.com.
