00:00:00.000 Today on the Matt Wall Show, violent insurrectionists descend this time on Louisville in response to the
00:00:04.980 grand jury decision, the Breonna Taylor case. But almost everything BLM has said about the
00:00:09.540 shooting of Breonna Taylor is a lie. Not that the truth matters to them, of course, but we'll talk
00:00:13.660 about what the truth is in this case today. Also, five headlines, including the left fretting that
00:00:18.880 Donald Trump won't submit to a peaceful transfer of power. That's a pretty rich charge coming from
00:00:25.640 them as they continue to burn down our cities. And in our daily cancellation, I will cancel the CDC

00:00:45.380 kids running around, kind of a zoo of sorts as well, a war zone, a toxic waste dump, at least in my son's
00:00:50.720 room. A lot going on. And that's why I need, and you need also in your home, I'm sure, solid Wi-Fi

00:01:35.760 Walsh, code Walsh. Okay. Well, it's being said that rioting broke out in Louisville over the grand
00:01:42.180 jury's decision, the Breonna Taylor case, but that's wrong on two levels. For one, the chaos in Louisville
00:01:48.100 as in so many other cities across the country is funded and organized. Moments after the grand
00:01:54.240 jury returned only three counts of one endangerment against one officer for firing shots that went into
00:01:59.080 a neighbor's apartment, but no charges for Taylor's death, U-Hauls packed with pre-made signs and riot
00:02:04.740 shields were already on the scene being unloaded. Now, it's clear that there's orchestration and
00:02:09.860 planning involved. Also, these are not mere riots. These are violent uprisings with the clear and often
00:02:16.280 stated goal of destabilizing the government and burning down the system. In other words,
00:02:21.700 it's insurrection. So rather than riots breaking out, this was another campaign of insurrection
00:02:27.500 being carried out. And the distinction is important. It's also important, though not relevant to the
00:02:34.400 insurrectionists, that the narrative surrounding the Breonna Taylor case, advanced by BLM and Antifa
00:02:40.580 and their allies in the media, has proven to be almost entirely false. The narrative in these
00:02:45.900 high-profile police shootings is always false, of course. The only question is one of degree,
00:02:50.740 just how wrong will it turn out to be? In nearly all of the high-profile cases over the past few
00:02:55.920 months especially, that answer has generally varied between extremely and incredibly. For example,
00:03:02.880 the narrative around the Jacob Blake shooting in Kenosha claimed that he was unarmed and shot by cops
00:03:09.360 while trying to get into his car after stopping to break up a fight. In reality, he was harassing
00:03:14.140 his alleged rape victim, was armed with a knife, was reaching into his ex-girlfriend's car, which he
00:03:18.180 was allegedly trying to steal when the officer fired. In the shooting of Dion K in D.C., we were at first
00:03:23.740 told that K was an unarmed child shot in the back. As it turns out, he was an adult, a known gang member,
00:03:29.700 and was shot in the chest while running towards officers with his gun drawn. The case of Ricardo Munoz
00:03:35.780 in Lancaster activists told us that he was a mentally disabled person randomly gunned down
00:03:40.560 outside his mother's house. Some even said, there were some BLM people online saying he was an
00:03:46.500 autistic child murdered by the cops. In reality, Munoz was 27 years old, was shot because he chased after
00:03:54.440 a police officer while wielding a large knife. BLM has gotten almost every fact of every case wrong.
00:04:01.140 Going all the way back to Michael Brown in 2014, who was claimed to have been murdered with his
00:04:05.540 hands up while begging for his life, forensic evidence eyewitness reports eventually confirmed
00:04:09.500 that he was actually shot while assaulting a police officer and trying to steal his weapon.
00:04:13.760 And this after he had assaulted a store clerk and committed a robbery. So what about Breonna Taylor?
00:04:20.040 Now, initially it was reported that police burst into the wrong apartment without knocking
00:04:25.260 during a botched drug raid and murdered Taylor while she was asleep. That would be indefensible
00:04:32.500 if it was true, but once again, it wasn't. As Kentucky Attorney General Daniel Cameron explained
00:04:38.540 in his press conference on Wednesday, officers were serving a legal warrant at the right location,
00:04:44.660 and they did knock before entering. An independent witness corroborates that they announced and
00:04:49.720 identified themselves. Upon entering the residence, Breonna Taylor's boyfriend, Kenneth Walker,
00:04:54.600 opened fired on officers. When police returned fire, Breonna Taylor was hit and killed.
00:04:59.900 Here's Cameron at the press conference explaining some of this.
00:05:03.600 Evidence shows that officers both knocked and announced their presence at the apartment.
00:05:11.340 The officer's statements about their announcement are corroborated by an independent witness who was
00:05:17.860 near in a proximity to apartment four. In other words, the warrant was not served.
00:05:24.600 As a no-knock warrant. When officers were unable to get anyone to answer or open the door to apartment four,
00:05:33.520 the decision was made to breach the door. After breaching the door, Sergeant Mattingly was the first
00:05:40.460 and only officer to enter the residence. Sergeant Mattingly identified two individuals standing beside
00:05:48.200 one another at the end of the hall, a male and a female. In his statement, he says that the male was
00:05:55.560 holding a gun, arms extended, in a shooting stance. Sergeant Mattingly saw the man's gun fire,
00:06:04.300 heard a boom, and immediately knew he was shot as a result of feeling heat in his upper thigh.
00:06:10.760 Kenneth Walker fired the shot that hit Sergeant Mattingly, and there's no evidence to support that
00:06:17.280 Sergeant Mattingly was hit by friendly fire from other officers.
00:06:21.420 Now, we should mention a warrant was issued for Taylor's apartment because there was reason to
00:06:26.020 suspect that Taylor, or at least her apartment, was in some way involved in her criminal ex-boyfriend's
00:06:31.780 drug enterprise. As court documents show, Taylor's car was spotted multiple times outside of a known
00:06:38.060 drug house that was under surveillance by law enforcement. Taylor is on tape, reportedly,
00:06:43.120 referring to the drug house while speaking to her then-boyfriend while he was in jail.
00:06:48.240 In 2016, the body of a murder victim was allegedly found in a car rented by Taylor, which she said
00:06:53.640 she had lent to her boyfriend. Shortly after her death, the ex-boyfriend was again recorded in
00:06:58.760 jailhouse phone conversations claiming that Taylor was, quote, handling his money. The point is that
00:07:05.340 the warrant was issued for entirely valid reasons. The cops executed it according to the law,
00:07:13.420 following all the proper protocols. Only opened fire after Walker had begun shooting at them.
00:07:19.280 There is no basis for calling this a murder, much less a racist murder by agents of white supremacy.
00:07:25.880 It's a tragic accident, a catastrophic confluence of events. Many other terms can be used to describe it,
00:07:33.200 but the fact remains that officers were serving a lawful warrant acting within the bounds of the law
00:07:39.480 and responding with lethal force to the lethal force being used against them. As usual, those 0.98
00:07:46.520 accusing the officers of criminal conduct have not bothered to explain what they might have done
00:07:51.200 differently. Should they have not obtained the warrant for the apartment in the first place,
00:07:55.420 despite having credible reason to believe that it had ties to drug trafficking? Should they not have
00:07:59.780 executed the warrant? Or should they have waited outside for someone to come to the door? And if
00:08:04.260 the residents refused to answer, then just pack up and go home? Or should they have not returned fire
00:08:09.780 once they were fired upon? Instead, you know, diving to the floor or hiding behind furniture, hoping the
00:08:15.780 assailant stops before a bullet hits one of them in the face. Now, BLM militants, if they were being 0.76
00:08:21.900 honest, would actually answer yes to all of those questions. They've made it clear that their problem
00:08:28.540 with the police is that the police exists. Anything the police do, therefore, is wrong. For the simple
00:08:36.660 fact, the police are the ones doing it. For BLM and its allies, the fight against police brutality is a
00:08:42.320 fight against policing itself. All law enforcement is brutality in their minds. And anybody who dies at
00:08:50.580 the hands of police, any black person anyway, has been murdered, no matter what, regardless of context.
00:08:55.540 This is the radicalism that holds our cities hostage, the madness to which we are all supposed
00:09:02.600 to bow. It dresses itself in the garb of racial justice. It carries signs that say things like
00:09:08.820 equality. But this is all a decidedly unconvincing disguise for their radical assault on law and order
00:09:16.080 and civilization itself. And that's what's happening. And now it's happening in Louisville.
00:09:21.700 So let's get to our five headlines.
00:09:29.880 You know, one of our really loyal sponsors and supporters of the show is Wise Company.
00:09:35.480 We've been working with them for a long time. Well, now they've changed their name. You know

00:09:55.320 also have adventure meals for hiking, camping, other outdoor activities. And, you know, I know
00:09:59.920 for me, my experience with Ready Wise is just a peace of mind, especially in these days, in
00:10:06.320 these, shall we call them, uncertain times, to use the media phrase that we hear so often.
00:10:11.720 And there is a lot of uncertainty. So I feel some peace of mind just knowing that I've got

00:11:44.660 two Louisville police officers, at least two, were shot by a BLM militant last night. The violence
00:11:50.420 wasn't just in Louisville. In Portland, they were throwing Molotov cocktails, as you can see here.
00:11:55.620 Somebody, well, there we go, just peacefully firebombing the cops there. In Seattle, here they
00:12:01.980 are beating a cop over the head with a metal bat. Peacefully, of course. This, of course, has been
00:12:09.020 going on in those two cities for months, literally months, which is why those mayors should be in
00:12:14.720 prison. They should be forcibly deposed and thrown in prison. They have abdicated their
00:12:20.180 responsibilities and they have to be dealt with. Wait until after the election, if that's what you need
00:12:25.180 to do, but then this cannot be allowed to continue. This goes way beyond politics.
00:12:35.460 But that's Portland and Seattle. Back to Louisville, where the riots, the insurrection, was very
00:12:40.340 violent and it involved the attempted murder of at least two cops. Here's how Reuters described it,
00:12:45.340 by the way. They said, demonstrations in Louisville wore on past nightfall in defiance of a 9 p.m.
00:12:50.620 curfew and remained mostly peaceful until several gunshots rang out in the midst of a skirmish between
00:12:56.640 protesters and heavily armed police. Mostly peaceful until they tried to blow the brains out of two
00:13:04.380 cops. Yes, well, you know, things are always peaceful until they aren't, right? The Normandy landings
00:13:12.960 were peaceful until the shooting started. Uh, the town of Sharpsburg was, was quaint and quiet and
00:13:18.680 peaceful until the battle of Antietam commenced. That's how it works. ABC 11 had a different spin.
00:13:25.100 They said, um, Louisville officer shot, but unclear if tied to protests. Yes. Kind of reminds me of a
00:13:35.800 titanic passenger drowns, but unclear if tied to ship sinking. Same, same general idea. Now,
00:13:44.500 Democratic Governor Andy Beshear in Kentucky spoke last night about the shooting of the police officers.
00:13:49.540 And here's what he had to say. Hi, everyone. I know that with the events of today, many people are
00:13:57.360 feeling powerful emotions, whether that's frustration, anger, concern, and many people have been out on the
00:14:07.760 streets, especially in Louisville tonight, giving voice to those emotions. But sadly, we have seen at least
00:14:15.380 one individual, uh, turn what were non-violent ways of, of expressing ourselves into the shooting of at least
00:14:25.380 two law enforcement officers. We know that the answer to violence is never violence. And we are thinking
00:14:33.620 about those two officers and their families tonight. So I'm asking everybody, please, go home. Go home tonight.
00:14:44.860 There will be many times over the coming days where there will be an opportunity to be heard. And so many people
00:14:51.400 are listening right now. As your governor, I've promised to listen. But let's make sure we don't
00:14:58.740 see any more violence tonight. And let's make sure that we find ways of expressing ourselves moving
00:15:06.140 forward, where your point and other people's points are made. And that hopefully we can not just listen,
00:15:13.260 but we can hear. Everybody out there, stay safe. We care about each and every one of you. Good night.
00:15:19.820 Yeah. That's what we call bare minimum, uh, weak, pathetic. Obviously he had to say something. He
00:15:25.020 couldn't just completely ignore as much as he probably would have liked to the shooting of two
00:15:29.060 of his police officers. But that, that's about as weak as a denunciation goes and keep in mind. Now,
00:15:36.000 if I, if I didn't know any better and I didn't know the context, um, and I was just listening to
00:15:41.280 the tone and the way this is approached, I would think that he was talking about, I don't know,
00:15:47.240 some people spray painting, uh, just, just some, just some petty vandalism or something. No,
00:15:52.100 this is the attempted murder of two police officers during violent riots. And this is how Bashir
00:15:57.500 approaches it. Um, and that is, and even that he's going to get flack from the left for that
00:16:03.880 as pathetic and weak as it was number two. Um, well, what's, what's the media and the left freaking
00:16:10.840 out about today? Not the violent revolution happening in our streets. They love that.
00:16:14.800 Not the cops who were shot, bombed, beaten last night. They're in favor of that too. 0.95
00:16:20.940 No, instead it's this, uh, this is what they're worried about. This is what Trump said during a
00:16:24.740 press conference. And we are supposed to be very, very concerned and scared and worried
00:16:29.080 about this. Listen, when loser draw in this election, will you commit here today for a peaceful
00:16:37.000 transfer of power after the election? And there has been writing in Louisville,
00:16:42.900 there's been rioting in many cities across this country, red and your so-called red and blue
00:16:47.600 states. Will you commit to making sure that there is a peaceful transfer of power after
00:16:53.000 the election? Well, we're going to have to see what happens. You know that I've been complaining
00:16:56.580 very strongly about the ballots and the ballots are a disaster. I understand that, but people
00:17:02.160 are rioting. Do you commit to making sure that there's a peaceful transfer of power? We want to have,
00:17:07.100 get rid of the ballots and you'll have a very transfer. We'll have a very peaceful. There won't
00:17:10.920 be a transfer. Frankly, there'll be a continuation. The ballots are out of control. You know it. And
00:17:17.240 you know who knows it better than anybody else? The Democrats know it better than anybody else. Go
00:17:21.300 ahead. Oh no, he's, he's not committing to the peaceful transfer of power. He's going to refuse.
00:17:26.420 He's going to barricade himself in the white house and refuse to come out. He's going to stage a
00:17:30.940 military coup, right? Yeah, that's a real concern. First of all, listen to the question again.
00:17:37.080 Trump was asked if he would commit to transfer of power, win, lose, or draw. So they were trying to
00:17:44.640 get him to agree to transferring power, even if he wins. Very stupid question. And Trump's answer to
00:17:52.060 it was fine. The only criticism I would have, the only one, is that I think he should have concluded
00:17:56.900 his answer by politely inviting that reporter to kiss his ass. I think that would have been,
00:18:03.080 that's the polite thing to do. And so I would have preferred that. But other than that, it was a
00:18:06.820 fine answer. Um, and, and also it's, it's, it's, yeah, if, if you want to misunderstand the point on
00:18:15.460 purpose, then you always can, of course, uh, if you're a dishonest person, but it's, it's clear what
00:18:23.140 Trump is getting at is, is like, I'm not, if I actually lose. Okay. But he's there, there are
00:18:31.240 concerns that, uh, the story will be that he lost, even though he didn't. Okay. He's worried about the,
00:18:36.800 the election being stolen from him. Biden and the Democrats are saying the exact same sorts of
00:18:43.640 things. So if you have a problem with that kind of rhetoric, it is really on both sides.
00:18:50.860 This is not a, what about both? This is really, this is both sides. Both sides are saying this.
00:18:55.360 Um, so whatever criticism you have of that, it, it applies across the board, but also, I mean,
00:19:03.120 the main point is this, you just cannot pretend or you can pretend all you want, but you cannot be
00:19:10.780 taken seriously in pretending that you care about a peaceful transfer of power while your people are
00:19:16.920 currently, as we speak in the process of burning down cities, shooting cops, beating cops,
00:19:22.140 firebombing cops. Okay. You cannot months and months of this. And now you're pretending that
00:19:28.940 you care about a peaceful transfer, but it's too late for a peaceful transfer of power. We are
00:19:33.100 already in the midst of, of, of a, in, in, in decidedly non-peaceful, um, time, time in our
00:19:42.060 country. And that is all on the left. Peaceful transfer of power. Yes. Yes. I'm, I'm very concerned
00:19:49.280 about the peaceful transfer of power. He thought to himself as he threw a Molotov cocktail at police
00:19:54.600 and not only that, by the way, but they're, they've also, they're openly promising to burn
00:20:00.980 it all down, burn the system down. If, uh, if, you know, if Trump is reelected. So yes,
00:20:09.080 but they're concerned about peaceful transfer of power. Sure. Number three, president Trump yesterday
00:20:13.720 announced an executive order. Um, let's listen to this. I will always protect the vital role of
00:20:19.460 religion and prayer in American society. And I will always defend the sacred right to life today.
00:20:26.060 I'm announcing that I will be signing the born alive executive order to ensure that all precious
00:20:32.200 babies born alive, no matter their circumstances, receive the medical care that they deserve.
00:20:38.220 This is our sacrosanct moral duty. We are also increasing federal funding for the neonatal research
00:20:46.240 to ensure that every child has the very best chance to thrive and to grow.
00:20:51.800 So the daily wire reports that this is this, this order is expected to mirror the born alive
00:20:55.940 abortion survivors protection act, which states that a healthcare protect practitioner who's present
00:21:00.940 must exercise the same degree of care as reasonably provided to another child born alive at the same
00:21:06.000 gestational age and to, uh, immediately admit the child to a hospital. The bill also requires a
00:21:11.340 healthcare practitioner or other employee to immediately report any failure to comply with
00:21:16.220 this requirement to law enforcement person who violates this requirement is subject to criminal
00:21:19.800 penalties, a fine up to five years in prison or both. Um, additionally, an individual who intentionally
00:21:25.440 kills or attempts to kill a child born alive is subject to prosecution for murder. And that's all of
00:21:30.780 that is great. That's exactly what it should be. Any sane person agrees with this. Um, this,
00:21:35.760 this is, this is an issue that Republicans and conservatives should be talking about.
00:21:41.220 Trump is right to act on it. And, um, yeah, let, let the left go out as they are now and as they
00:21:46.180 will continue to and openly advocate for infanticide. But remember again, totally peaceful,
00:21:52.380 a peaceful infanticide. Number four, um, let's get to some important news here. Uh, you can look at
00:21:57.360 this picture right here. That's a giant rat pulled out of a sewer. True story. Okay. The New York
00:22:03.200 Post has the story. It says Mexico city cleanup crews, um, lived everybody, everybody's worst
00:22:08.640 nightmare on September 18th, when they discovered what looked like a monster drowned rat while
00:22:12.660 dredging the sewers, the sewers, the Buick size rodent was part of a, of 20, 22 tons of litter.
00:22:21.340 The workers had removed from the city's drainage tunnels following heavy rains during the unsavory
00:22:26.240 gig. The workers reportedly turned a corner and encountered what they described as a giant rat,
00:22:31.560 which sat hunched over and sported incredibly realistic fur. As it turns out, the vermin was
00:22:37.880 actually a Halloween prop. Oh, that's disappointing. That had been washed out of its warehouse by the
00:22:43.480 storm. I mean, it was unlikely, but I was really rooting for this to be real. Um, you know, choose
00:22:50.520 the form of your destructor kind of thing. And, uh, and if we have to have the apocalypse, then I think
00:22:57.680 an apocalypse at the hands of oversized rats would be, I don't know how enjoyable it would
00:23:04.320 be, but it would certainly be appropriate. A woman named Evelyn Lopez has since come forward 0.87
00:23:08.560 to claim, to claim the rat, which she reportedly created from scratch for Halloween. Lopez said
00:23:13.840 it had gone missing years ago during a torrential downpour and no one could help her retrieve it.
00:23:21.600 So it's been, she couldn't find that huge thing for years and now she finally has found it. Well,
00:23:26.180 I'm glad for their reunion. Number five, um, this couldn't come soon enough. Racism has finally
00:23:32.620 been solved. It's over folks. You can go home. Uncle Ben's, the rice brand has announced that it
00:23:37.400 will take the word uncle off of its product and also remove the picture of a black man from the
00:23:42.820 product in order to combat racism. You understand. So they, they made this big announcement on their
00:23:47.920 website. You can see here, Ben's original, that's the new name. We've listened, we've learned,
00:23:52.620 we're changing. It says over the last several weeks, we have listened to thousands of consumers,
00:23:57.140 our own associates and other stakeholders from around the world. We understand the inequities
00:24:00.940 that were associated with the name and face of the Uncle Ben's brand that what, what inequities
00:24:07.120 were associated with the name of a box of rice? Um, and so, uh, blah, blah, blah. They decided to
00:24:13.800 change it. This of course just doesn't make any sense at all. Uh, how, how are we helping to solve
00:24:21.260 racism by taking a black man's face off of the packaging? How was that? I thought, I thought,
00:24:30.540 so we, we, we have like both strategies happening here because on one hand we're told we need more
00:24:37.860 representation and, uh, you know, racial minorities need to be more visible. And I mean, that's why
00:24:43.740 they're doing, apparently they announced they're going to do, uh, they're doing a friends remake with
00:24:47.660 an all black cast. And so there's a lot of that sort of thing going on. Um, and we're going to
00:24:51.640 combat racism that way, but we're also going to combat it by with less visibility by, by taking,
00:24:58.160 you know, black faces off of packaging and that sort of thing. It doesn't really make a lot of
00:25:01.640 sense to me. All right, we're going to get to our daily cancellation in just a second, but before we
00:25:06.180 do, um, you know, I've been telling you for a long time about our sponsors, Vincero. I'm wearing

00:27:07.580 you about that as well. Now today for our daily cancellation, we're going to cancel the CDC.
00:27:11.560 Uh, it's a long past time for the CDC to face its cancellation. There've been many straws straining
00:27:16.440 this particular camel's back. The straw that finally broke it is this, as you could see,
00:27:22.220 the center for disease control has a whole page on its website giving guidance on holiday celebrations,
00:27:27.740 because of course, in a free country, the first thing a citizen ought to do before observing a holiday
00:27:31.460 is check with a public health organization and consult a series of federal agencies before
00:27:36.080 deciding how to celebrate it. This is why in my household, you know, our tradition on Christmas
00:27:40.440 morning is that we all wake up early in our early in the morning in our Christmas jammies.
00:27:46.000 Yes, I have Christmas jammies. And yes, I do call them jammies. What of it? And we all wake up,
00:27:50.960 we go downstairs, we gather around the Christmas tree, and then we submit an application to the
00:27:55.200 Department of Health and Human Services requesting a waiver that will permit us
00:27:57.800 to open presents. And usually it only takes about two to three business days to come through. And,
00:28:01.800 um, the kids really enjoy it. It's a lot of fun. Now, in any case, here's the CDC. Um, and this is,
00:28:08.600 this is them explaining their guidelines. It says, as many people in the United States begin to plan for
00:28:13.020 fall and winter holiday celebrations, CDC offers the following considerations to help protect
00:28:17.820 individuals, their families, friends, and communities from COVID-19. These are considerations
00:28:22.580 meant to supplement, not replace any state, local, territorial, or tribal health and safety laws,
00:28:28.600 rules, and regulations with, uh, which holiday gatherings must comply. When planning to host
00:28:33.560 a holiday celebration, you should assess current COVID-19 levels in your community to determine
00:28:37.680 whether to postpone, cancel, or limit the number of attendees. Then it proceeds to give guidance on all
00:28:44.340 fall holidays. And it lists those holidays as Rosh Hashanah, Yom Kippur, Halloween, uh,
00:28:51.360 Dea de los Muertos, Navratri, Diwali, and Thanksgiving. So I'll have to consult their Diwali 0.51
00:28:57.560 guidelines later, but here's what it says for Halloween. Uh, it says, avoid these higher risk
00:29:03.020 activities to help prevent the spread of the virus that causes COVID-19 says, um, and then,
00:29:08.000 and then here are the high risk activities participating in traditional trick-or-treating where
00:29:11.680 treats are handed to children who go door-to-door, having trunk-or-treat where treats are handed out
00:29:17.020 from trunks of cars lined up in large parking lots, attending crowded costume parties held indoors,
00:29:22.800 going to an indoor haunted house where people may be crowded together and screaming, going on hay
00:29:27.580 rides or tractor rides with people who are not in your household, using alcohol or drugs, which can
00:29:32.660 cloud judgment and increase risky behaviors, traveling to a rural fall festival that is not in your
00:29:38.300 community if you live in an area, uh, an area with community spread of COVID-19. So those are the
00:29:43.660 things that you must avoid according to your public health overlords, but not to worry. They do provide
00:29:50.420 some low risk, safe alternatives. These low risk activities, uh, include carving or decorating pumpkins
00:29:59.520 with members of your household and displaying them, carving or decorating pumpkins outside at a safe
00:30:05.160 distance with neighbors or friends, decorating your house apartment or living space, doing a Halloween
00:30:11.480 scavenger hunt where children are given lists of Halloween themed things to look for while they walk
00:30:16.060 outdoors from house to house, admiring Halloween decorations at a distance, having a virtual Halloween
00:30:22.280 costume contest, having a Halloween movie night with people you live with, having a scavenger hunt
00:30:29.220 style trick-or-treat search with your household members in or around your home rather than going house to
00:30:34.820 house. Okay. Yes. Decorate your home for a festive Halloween party and then invite no one over. Just
00:30:42.120 sit there in your living room alone, staring at the wall, weeping quietly while gorging yourself on fun
00:30:49.200 size Snickers, or as I like to call it a normal Tuesday night. Now these, these suggestions are, are helpful
00:30:56.180 from the CDC, but I'm afraid they may be giving us too much latitude. Some of these activities seem very
00:31:01.460 risky. In fact, like carving a pumpkin, there's the obvious danger that the knife might slip. You might
00:31:06.920 disembowel yourself accidentally. I have two cousins and an uncle who all died that way. It was a bloody
00:31:12.220 night, which, you know, it wasn't such a bad thing, I guess, given that it was Halloween. But also when, when
00:31:18.580 you go outside to place your pumpkin on the porch, can you be sure that at the same moment, your neighbor
00:31:24.100 might not be walking to his car across the street and then cough and a stiff breeze might carry the COVID
00:31:28.920 virus directly into your nostrils? I mean, you know, you might say, well, then I'll wear a mask.
00:31:33.600 Well, of course you will, but then the virus might enter through your eyes. And then you say, well,
00:31:38.680 then I'll wear a face shield. Okay, fine, but the virus might go into your ears or it might attach
00:31:42.840 yourself to your clothes. And then later that night, while you're getting changed for bed, it might leap
00:31:46.840 into any number of exposed orifices. Now, the risk of any of this happening is somewhere in the
00:31:53.040 neighborhood of like 0.0000000001%. But it's not non-existent. There is some risk. And what we've
00:32:05.800 learned in recent months is that we simply cannot afford to take any risk of any kind at all ever,
00:32:11.040 period. Unless, of course, you are not a lunatic, and you prefer to actually still live a human life,
00:32:18.000 you selfish bastard. And maybe you've come to terms with the fact that you're mortal and risk
00:32:23.600 will always be there. And eventually you will die, probably not of COVID, but of something.
00:32:28.120 So hiding in your home, huddled under your blanket is not only a pathetic and dreary existence,
00:32:33.220 but ultimately futile. You're going to die anyway. If that's the case, then you will go out and still
00:32:40.320 trick or treat because quite obviously, you know, in all seriousness, trick or treating is not high risk
00:32:45.900 at all. You're outside. Kids are the ones doing it. They aren't likely to contract or spread the virus
00:32:52.060 anyway. They're already wearing, many of them, masks and gloves for the costumes. They aren't bunched
00:32:57.740 together in tight groups. Their interactions with the people answering the door are brief.
00:33:02.380 If this is high risk, then literally anything is, which brings us back to huddling in our homes
00:33:07.700 under the blankets. What I can say is, high risk or not, I will be out with my kids,
00:33:14.900 trick or treating on Halloween. So you better answer your damned door because we're coming.
00:33:22.660 And if you don't answer, we might throw a brick through the window. Though we would only be doing
00:33:28.080 that, of course, for racial justice and peace. And because we're mad, you didn't give us any candy.
00:33:34.600 Which I'm increasingly convinced is also the motivation behind many of these rioters.
00:33:39.080 They're just mad that we're not giving them candy. But the CDC is canceled finally for all of that.
00:33:48.380 And Halloween. They say Halloween is canceled. I say it's a go. Congratulations. You're welcome.
00:33:55.820 I'll talk to you tomorrow. Have a great day. Godspeed.
00:33:57.720 Thank you.
00:34:27.720 Hey everyone, it's Andrew Klavan, host of The Andrew Klavan Show. Leftist culture is dead. No one
00:34:42.260 watches their movies. No one watches their sports. No one believes their ideas. All they've got left
00:34:47.840 is violence and intimidation and lies. And they are bringing them on all across the country.
00:34:52.800 We'll take a look on The Andrew Klavan Show.
