The Matt Walsh Show - Ep. 577 - Refuting the Lies of Michelle Obama

00:00:00.000 Today on the Matt Wall Show, Michelle Obama comes out against Trump.

00:00:02.960 Apparently, she doesn't like the guy. Who would have thought?

00:00:05.540 Calling him racist, a liar, immoral. But speaking of liars, she lies repeatedly in her attack. 1.00

00:00:11.480 We'll get to the truth today. Also, Joe Biden makes empty calls for unity.

00:00:15.320 But I'll explain why unity in America is impossible.

00:00:18.760 And in our five headlines, Hollywood plans a film lionizing Katie Hill,

00:00:23.440 the congresswoman who sexually took advantage of her subordinates. 0.97

00:00:26.320 Me Too was already dead, but it's especially dead now.

00:00:30.360 And in our daily cancellation, I will cancel all drivers on the road, except for me.

00:00:34.560 All other drivers are canceled. I'll explain why. All of that on the way.

00:00:38.180 But first, a word from LifeLock. You know, there's no need to be paranoid,

00:00:42.540 but it's not paranoia to say that there are a lot of identity thieves out there in cyberspace.

00:00:47.620 And they'd all like to have a piece of you, of your identities specifically, if they can.

00:00:52.280 That's why you need to protect yourself with LifeLock.

00:00:54.240 What's called synthetic identity fraud is one of the fastest growing financial crimes in the U.S.

00:01:01.020 It happens when criminals use a combination of fake and real information to create an entirely new identity.

00:01:07.660 They combine real, personally identifiable information, such as a social security number with a fake name,

00:01:14.680 an address to open bank accounts, seek credit, or even obtain health insurance.

00:01:19.300 It's very devious stuff, and it's hard to catch on your own.

00:01:22.920 If you're just monitoring your credit, that's not going to be enough.

00:01:25.560 You could miss certain threats if that's all you're doing.

00:01:28.500 Good thing there's LifeLock.

00:01:30.020 LifeLock detects a wide range of identity threats,

00:01:32.620 like your social security number being for sale on the dark web, other threats as well.

00:01:36.940 No one can prevent all identity theft or monitor all transactions at all businesses,

00:01:41.040 but you can find out if your information is on the dark web.

00:02:00.780 All right, so Michelle Obama, who I'm repeatedly reminded is charismatic and deeply likable,

00:02:08.520 though I've yet to find any evidence at all for this claim,

00:02:11.380 released a video on behalf of the Biden campaign where she lays into Donald Trump, 0.97

00:02:16.280 calls him a racist liar, but in the process of calling Trump a liar, 0.97

00:02:21.380 she herself lies with impunity, 0.98

00:02:24.040 especially when it comes to defending the violent Marxist radicals of BLM.

00:02:28.420 Here's some of that portion of what she said.

00:02:31.700 Listen.

00:02:32.360 They're stoking fears about black and brown Americans, 0.99

00:02:36.220 lying about how minorities will destroy the suburbs, 0.99

00:02:40.840 whipping up violence and intimidation,

00:02:43.160 and they're pinning it all on what's been an overwhelmingly peaceful movement for racial solidarity.

00:02:51.260 It's true.

00:02:53.040 Research backs it up.

00:02:54.320 Only a tiny fraction of demonstrations have had any violence at all.

00:03:00.240 So what the president is doing is once again patently false.

00:03:05.900 It's morally wrong.

00:03:08.160 And yes, it is racist.

00:03:10.720 But that doesn't mean it won't work.

00:03:14.960 Because this is a difficult time, a confusing time.

00:03:19.960 And when people hear these lies and crazy conspiracies repeated over and over and over again,

00:03:26.180 they don't know what to think.

00:03:28.600 With everything going on in their lives,

00:03:31.320 they don't have time to fact check falsehoods being spread throughout the Internet.

00:03:36.460 And even reasonable people might get scared.

00:03:41.580 And the one thing this president is really, really good at

00:03:44.900 is using fear and confusion and spreading lies to win. 0.96

00:03:50.600 Patently false, morally wrong, and racist. 0.60

00:03:54.260 That's how Michelle Obama describes Donald Trump. 0.53

00:03:56.980 But she may as well have been speaking into a mirror instead of the camera, 0.82

00:04:00.120 because her words apply much more to herself.

00:04:04.120 She says that the protests, quote unquote, have been overwhelmingly peaceful,

00:04:08.660 and that only a tiny fraction have had any violence at all.

00:04:12.340 How does she know this?

00:04:13.340 Well, research, she says.

00:04:15.260 Research backs it up.

00:04:17.040 I love it when people cite research.

00:04:19.240 Not actual research, but just the word research.

00:04:22.620 Like, what's your evidence for that claim you just made?

00:04:25.680 Oh, research.

00:04:27.000 Yeah, the research.

00:04:27.960 All the researches.

00:04:29.540 Oh, oh, and evidence, too.

00:04:31.460 Research and evidence.

00:04:32.420 That's how I know.

00:04:33.620 Just, that's it.

00:04:34.340 Research and evidence.

00:04:35.580 Now, she doesn't, of course, go into specifics,

00:04:37.040 so I can only assume that the research she's talking about

00:04:41.240 is the much-ballyhooed study from the Armed Conflict Location and Event Data Project,

00:04:46.720 which did a study about this summer's protests.

00:04:49.880 And its findings were trumpeted by the mainstream media,

00:04:52.740 with headlines like this one from The Guardian saying,

00:04:54.620 nearly all Black Lives Matter protests are peaceful despite Trump narrative, report finds.

00:05:01.320 And what did this study actually find?

00:05:03.900 Well, it says, according to The Guardian,

00:05:06.060 the vast majority of the thousands of Black Lives Matter protests this summer have been peaceful,

00:05:10.600 with more than 93% involving no serious harm to people or damage to property.

00:05:15.740 Now, already, there's a problem with the serious harm qualifier.

00:05:21.500 What counts as serious harm?

00:05:23.500 And why shouldn't the supposed non-serious harm still be included as violent?

00:05:28.720 I mean, if you punch me in the face and barely manage to give me a nosebleed,

00:05:33.100 does that mean that your punch wasn't violent? 0.95

00:05:35.340 Or does it just mean that you have scrawny toothpick arms and you punch like a child?

00:05:39.380 Now, in any case, let's just go with this research for a moment,

00:05:44.160 for the sake of argument, and say, okay, 7%.

00:05:47.020 It also says that between May and August, there were 7,750 BLM demonstrations.

00:05:54.820 Now, what's 7% of 7,750? 0.98

00:05:58.220 I'll let you do the math, mainly because I'm too stupid to do it. 0.92

00:06:02.340 But I do know that it's several hundred. 0.89

00:06:04.200 So, by these very favorable calculations trying to put things in the most positive possible light

00:06:10.680 for BLM, still we are left with the conclusion that there were several hundred violent BLM

00:06:16.580 demonstrations that involved serious harm to people, property, or both in the span of one summer.

00:06:23.320 This, according to Michelle, is a tiny fraction.

00:06:25.680 I wonder, would she still consider several hundred violent demonstrations in the span of just three

00:06:29.680 months a tiny fraction if these were MAGA rallies descending so frequently?

00:06:34.200 into looting and arson?

00:06:35.780 Would 7% be a tiny fraction of, say, pro-life rallies that involve torching abortion clinics?

00:06:42.120 Would 7% be a tiny fraction of fecal-coated chocolate chips in a chocolate chip cookie?

00:06:47.500 I'm just trying to figure out when 7% becomes tiny.

00:06:50.820 Is it only for BLM violence?

00:06:52.920 I'm pretty sure that if I were to say only a tiny fraction of people who've contracted COVID

00:06:57.340 have died from it, Michelle would take issue with that, even though the fraction is far,

00:07:01.480 far, far, far less than 7%.

00:07:04.020 Yes, it would seem that 7% becomes tiny only in a very selective and politically useful

00:07:09.980 circumstance.

00:07:11.360 So when Michelle Obama, or anyone else on the left, defends mob violence as somehow peaceful,

00:07:18.980 what she and they really mean to say is that in their minds, the violence doesn't matter,

00:07:24.900 or perhaps is even justified.

00:07:26.440 And this is something to keep in mind when you listen to another message from the Biden

00:07:30.980 campaign, also from yesterday.

00:07:32.480 This is from Joe Biden himself, who went to Gettysburg in a bit of a self-aggrandizing

00:07:37.560 stunt to give a message on unity.

00:07:40.620 And here's what some of that sounded like, if for some reason you want to hear it.

00:07:43.820 Listen.

00:07:43.980 Here, on this sacred ground, Abraham Lincoln reimagined America itself.

00:07:53.120 Here, a president of the United States spoke of the price of division and the meaning of

00:07:59.680 sacrifice.

00:08:01.060 He believed in the rescue, redemption, and rededication of the union.

00:08:07.480 All this in a time not just of ferocious division, but of widespread death, structural inequity,

00:08:17.780 and fear of the future.

00:08:21.440 And he taught us this.

00:08:24.380 A house divided could not stand.

00:08:28.740 That is a great and timeless truth.

00:08:32.140 Today, once again, we are a house divided.

00:08:38.420 But that, my friends, can no longer be.

00:08:43.560 We are facing too many crises.

00:08:46.340 We have too much work to do.

00:08:48.820 We have too bright a future to have a shipwrecked on the shoals of anger and hate and division.

00:08:57.040 Yes, unity.

00:08:58.320 We must have unity, not hate, not anger and division.

00:09:02.260 But remember that for the Democrats, rampaging through the streets, looting, throwing a

00:09:07.160 Molotov cocktail at a cop, none of that counts as anger and division.

00:09:11.860 For them, unity and peace may include burning down the local CVS.

00:09:17.100 And this is precisely why all of the happy talk about unity, the speechifying, the empty

00:09:22.500 gestures towards it, all of that is meaningless and can never bring about true unity.

00:09:27.900 Because as I've argued in the past, we are, as a nation, divided on such a fundamental and

00:09:33.700 foundational level, all the way down at the roots of our being, that unity is simply not

00:09:39.820 possible.

00:09:40.360 To unite, we have to unite around something, in something, for something, by something,

00:09:44.980 because of something.

00:09:46.340 Unity for unity's sake can only ever be shallow.

00:09:48.860 It can't be lasting.

00:09:49.780 It can't be real.

00:09:50.580 But we live in different universes now, as Americans.

00:09:54.260 Not even two different universes.

00:09:55.720 This is like a multiverse situation.

00:09:57.500 Everyone has their own.

00:09:59.000 We are unmoored from reality and truth.

00:10:02.100 And Biden and the Democrats, they want us to unite in their universe.

00:10:07.060 A universe where BLM radicals torching a police station are peaceful, and where babies aren't 1.00

00:10:12.240 people, and where men are women, and where college graduates have a God-given human right 0.97

00:10:16.700 to have their debts paid off by appropriating funds from those more successful than them,

00:10:21.160 or even less successful, and so on.

00:10:23.460 All of their calls for unity should include that disclaimer.

00:10:26.900 Yes, come unify with us in our universe, in our reality.

00:10:32.860 And that, I simply cannot do.

00:10:35.000 It's not even that I won't do it.

00:10:36.200 It's that I can't.

00:10:37.220 I also won't, but I can't.

00:10:39.680 So where do we go from here?

00:10:41.660 Where does that lead us?

00:10:42.800 Well, I don't know exactly, but the happy talk isn't going to help us.

00:10:49.040 And certainly the lies from Michelle Obama and others won't either.

00:10:55.320 Let's get to our five headlines.

00:11:02.560 Well, they told us 15 days to slow the spread.

00:11:06.360 15 days.

00:11:07.060 Turns out, speaking of words not meaning anything, well, it turns out 15 days means more like

00:11:10.980 seven months and counting.

00:11:12.080 It's been seven months since the nation locked down because of COVID-19.

00:11:16.760 And many businesses are still feeling those effects of the lockdowns in very difficult

00:11:22.160 ways.

00:11:22.420 And if you're a business owner, you know that much better than I do.

00:12:36.180 Okay.

00:12:38.580 So we start here.

00:12:41.500 All right.

00:12:41.760 Number one, the perceptive among us, you know, really from the beginning, knew that the MeToo

00:12:49.000 movement was a fraud.

00:12:50.460 It was ideological.

00:12:51.640 It was anti-male while masquerading as an ethical movement, which it never was.

00:12:57.900 Now, if you need more evidence of this, even after all these years, then I would point you

00:13:02.200 to Katie Hill, disgraced former congresswoman who had a special announcement yesterday. 1.00

00:13:06.860 She says, I can finally announce another exciting project.

00:13:10.780 I'm so honored to be played by the iconic Elizabeth Moss and thrilled to work with this

00:13:15.280 incredible team.

00:13:16.520 Guess I'm about to add movie producer to my resume.

00:13:18.900 And there's a link to an article about this movie.

00:13:20.940 It's a movie about Katie Hill, lionizing Katie Hill with feminist favorite Elizabeth Moss 0.97

00:13:27.380 in the lead.

00:13:28.640 I think she's the one.

00:13:29.660 She does Handmaid's Tale, right?

00:13:31.660 Isn't she in that?

00:13:32.340 I have no idea.

00:13:33.080 But that's probably why the feminists like her. 1.00

00:13:35.980 Meanwhile, Katie Hill resigned from Congress, if you recall, following a scandal in which it

00:13:42.880 was revealed that she was sexually taking advantage of her staff members. 0.80

00:13:46.780 She had involved one of them in a threesome with her then husband, and there were other

00:13:52.440 major ethical problems as well.

00:13:54.260 Remember, we have been told by Me Too that power dynamics make it so that even consensual

00:14:02.320 relationships oftentimes are not really consensual.

00:14:06.160 Okay, yes doesn't always mean yes.

00:14:09.180 This is what we've been told.

00:14:10.520 The power dynamics between a Congress member and a staffer make it so that consent is not

00:14:16.860 fully possible.

00:14:19.340 This isn't my argument, okay?

00:14:22.020 This isn't what I'm saying.

00:14:24.780 This is the Me Too argument.

00:14:26.460 This is what they say.

00:14:28.000 And according to that argument, Katie Hill is a predator, according to them, if they were

00:14:32.020 to apply their logic consistently, which of course they don't.

00:14:34.300 Now, you don't have to take it from me, though.

00:14:36.120 An apparent former staff member commandeered Hill's congressional Twitter account, which

00:14:40.880 has just been sitting there after she left or resigned in disgrace.

00:14:46.400 She had her Twitter account, which she doesn't have access to anymore.

00:14:49.240 And this morning, there were some tweets coming out on that account blasting the movie, saying

00:14:55.320 that Hill took advantage of her subordinates, caused them harm.

00:14:58.580 This is what the tweets say.

00:14:59.760 Hill now claims that the account was hacked, but there's no reason to think it was hacked.

00:15:03.740 Her staff would have had access to that account, and it looks like they're using it, or at

00:15:08.600 least one of them is using it, to say, hey, you know, she was a pretty horrible boss, and

00:15:13.220 she took advantage of her staff. 0.99

00:15:15.460 Maybe don't make a movie about her where she's the hero.

00:15:19.500 But Hill gets her own rules. 1.00

00:15:20.920 You know, she doesn't have to play by the same rules as everybody else. 0.99

00:15:24.820 You want to talk about privilege?

00:15:26.260 Here it is.

00:15:26.700 She's the protagonist in a film about her own sex scandal. 0.99

00:15:32.420 You think any disgraced Republican politician would ever get that treatment?

00:15:37.220 Exact same circumstances, okay?

00:15:40.000 Would that ever happen?

00:15:41.440 No.

00:15:42.080 Of course not.

00:15:43.440 Number two.

00:15:43.900 Now, it's long been my contention that Bill de Blasio of New York is not only the worst 0.98

00:15:52.720 mayor in history, but also possibly the cringiest dork in history, too. 0.96

00:15:59.660 I think he might get that title as well. 0.93

00:16:02.340 If you don't believe me, then watch this.

00:16:04.180 Yes, that was de Blasio heroically in slow motion with the music playing, putting a mask

00:16:34.020 on his face.

00:16:36.640 They took a video of that.

00:16:39.520 Puts the mask on, then offers an awkward salute as well.

00:16:43.060 I don't know who the salute is to, but he does. 1.00

00:16:44.760 And then he walks back and say, look, wear the damn mask if you want, okay? 0.98

00:16:49.600 But stop trying to make it into a heroic, manly act on your part. 0.99

00:16:53.980 Biden is doing the same thing.

00:16:55.340 Here's a video from the Biden campaign yesterday.

00:16:58.080 So you see him there.

00:16:59.760 It's supposed to be contrasting him with Trump.

00:17:02.780 Trump, and you see him putting on the mask like a champ while Trump takes his off.

00:17:09.140 How heroic.

00:17:10.900 This is what it takes to be a hero now.

00:17:14.260 Just put a mask on.

00:17:15.400 It's that easy, which is great.

00:17:18.540 I mean, I guess I should be.

00:17:19.880 I'm a hero, too.

00:17:20.780 Every time I walk into a grocery store, I have to put the mask on because I'm forced to.

00:17:25.400 Actually, it's a heroic act.

00:17:27.260 I'm a hero.

00:17:27.840 All right, number three.

00:17:30.440 Meanwhile, speaking of dumb theatrics, with the VP debate coming up, there's been this

00:17:36.140 back and forth between the camps, Biden-Trump camp, over putting a plexiglass divider between 0.95

00:17:42.740 the candidates on stage.

00:17:44.740 Now, Pence initially balked at this idea, but has now agreed, has relented.

00:17:48.520 And you can see them putting up the divider there.

00:17:52.360 What does this achieve?

00:17:54.460 They're 12 feet apart.

00:17:56.620 They both tested negative for the virus.

00:18:02.060 What does the glass divider achieve?

00:18:04.820 Well, nothing.

00:18:05.740 I mean, if one of them could manage to infect the other, despite being negative and asymptomatic

00:18:14.880 and being 12 feet apart, if they could somehow pull off that trick, then the glass barrier

00:18:20.020 probably won't do much anyway.

00:18:22.140 So there doesn't seem to be a lot of much of a point here, at least medically or scientifically.

00:18:29.120 But of course, we know that the real reason it's there is for two reasons.

00:18:33.340 Number one, the Biden campaign wants it there because it gives the impression that Pence 0.88

00:18:39.040 is sick and weak and infected. 0.52

00:18:41.940 It's bad optics for him. 0.94

00:18:43.700 So that's what that's all this is about.

00:18:45.360 It's just to remind the public as they're watching the debate.

00:18:48.300 Oh, yeah, that's the sick guy over there, even though he's not.

00:18:51.660 And that's what this is really about.

00:18:52.760 But also, number two, it's part of the COVID theater that we've seen all across the country

00:18:57.460 for months where measures are taken, things are done, often with no apparent scientific

00:19:02.500 justification or reason, with no rationale behind them, really.

00:19:06.440 But the idea is that at least if we're doing something, it's better than nothing.

00:19:12.980 Even if the something is totally arbitrary and ineffectual.

00:19:16.780 And we've been in that kind of culture for a long time.

00:19:19.020 It's not just with COVID.

00:19:20.840 We've been in this culture where there's a bad thing that happens, or there's something

00:19:25.800 we have to deal with.

00:19:26.520 And the cry comes out from the public saying, do something, just somebody do something.

00:19:32.260 I don't care, just anything.

00:19:35.980 You get this anytime there's a mass shooting.

00:19:40.960 And you have many Americans who say to the government, the federal government, just do

00:19:44.860 something, just anything, just do something.

00:19:47.420 And they go and they pass a law.

00:19:50.080 Is the law going to help?

00:19:51.360 Is it going to actually achieve anything?

00:19:53.060 Does it get to the core of the problem?

00:19:54.620 No, but it's something.

00:19:56.120 And so we should be satisfied with that.

00:19:58.220 I'm getting a lot of that with COVID as well. 0.75

00:20:00.540 And it's ridiculous and not actually helpful.

00:20:04.140 OK, number two. 0.70

00:20:04.960 So this is a story that I've largely ignored.

00:20:07.720 And for good reason, I think.

00:20:10.340 That's the story of Claudia Conway, the daughter of Kellyanne Conway and George Conway.

00:20:15.540 She's been on social media, mostly on TikTok, it seems, embarrassing her mother, spilling

00:20:20.060 secrets, things she claims are secrets anyway.

00:20:23.720 This is a 15-year-old girl we're talking about here. 0.98

00:20:27.060 And, you know, sometimes we're courting her mother without permission and posting it online.

00:20:31.200 Again, the girl is 15 years old.

00:20:33.840 And the leftist media, they love it, as you'd expect, because they have the ethical sensibility

00:20:38.600 of a tarantula.

00:20:39.800 So for them, this is great.

00:20:41.600 They say no problem with it.

00:20:43.100 In fact, you can see in the headlines, a few headlines here were told that the 15-year-old

00:20:48.100 Claudia Conway is the whistleblower of our time.

00:20:53.280 Now, the way they're taking advantage of this girl is obviously sick. 0.77

00:20:56.780 And the sexual undertones of some of this stuff from the left is even sicker. 0.79

00:21:01.360 I mean, look at this from Neil Brennan, who's a comedian, apparently, on Netflix.

00:21:05.660 No surprise there.

00:21:06.520 And he says that Claudia should make an OnlyFans account for White House Intel.

00:21:13.280 OnlyFans.

00:21:14.840 Talking about a 15-year-old.

00:21:17.100 So that's all disturbing and gross.

00:21:18.900 But I keep going back, when I see these stories, you know, I keep going back personally

00:21:24.440 to the question of why this girl has a phone with the internet in the first place. 1.00

00:21:34.940 If this were my daughter, and I understand the family dynamics here, and far be it for

00:21:38.820 me to dispense parenting advice, okay?

00:21:41.520 But, and the family dynamics are very strange, at least from the outside.

00:21:45.820 I mean, there are complicated family dynamics in any family, right?

00:21:48.880 But still, I mean, if this were my daughter, I would take her phone, which I am paying for.

00:21:57.060 I paid for the phone.

00:21:58.340 I'm paying for the service.

00:21:59.920 I'm paying for everything.

00:22:01.700 So it's my property.

00:22:03.500 It's not hers. 0.67

00:22:04.700 And I would take my property, and I would bring it out into the garage, and I would grab 0.58

00:22:13.120 a hammer, and I would smash it with a hammer, and then I would throw the pieces in a garbage

00:22:16.200 can. 0.99

00:22:16.780 That's what I would do.

00:22:18.880 So I'm not sure why she's allowed to continue having a phone.

00:22:22.740 But then again, look, this is coming from me, and I'm someone who, I can't really see

00:22:28.080 any reason why any 15-year-old person should have a phone with the internet on it.

00:22:36.960 There's really nothing good that can come of it, period.

00:22:40.180 There is no net positive to your child, even at the age of 15, having a phone with the internet.

00:22:48.100 Nothing good.

00:22:49.860 So all you can hope is that the damage it does, which you know it will do, won't be

00:22:56.280 that bad.

00:22:57.300 So at that point, it's all about damage.

00:22:58.980 You give them the phone, which you have paid for, and you've purchased it with your own

00:23:03.160 money, and you hand it to them, this thing that you know is going to do damage, and now

00:23:07.980 all you're doing is damage control.

00:23:09.340 What about just not giving them the phone?

00:23:14.140 If your kid gets to an age where they actually have a job and they can go out and buy the

00:23:21.060 phone themselves, maybe that's a good cutoff age for when they can have a phone.

00:23:24.360 If you can buy it with your money, even then.

00:23:27.540 If they're living under your house, it's your rules.

00:23:29.820 And if you tell them they can't have, even if it's their money, it's still your house.

00:23:33.320 You can have the rules you want.

00:23:34.420 But I could see an argument there.

00:23:36.520 If it's their money and they're earning, and that's what they want to spend it on, then

00:23:41.400 there could be a good lesson there.

00:23:42.520 But when it's not even their money, and you're paying for it and buying it, going out of

00:23:47.380 your way, spending all this money on these expensive gadgets that you know will hurt them,

00:23:53.220 I just, I don't see it.

00:23:56.220 I don't know.

00:23:56.560 I don't see the parenting strategy.

00:23:58.340 I really don't.

00:23:59.800 Number five, finally, they got him, folks.

00:24:04.600 This is it.

00:24:05.500 They finally got him.

00:24:06.660 They have proven that Donald Trump is actually, as suspected, literally Hitler.

00:24:14.620 Literally.

00:24:15.680 Okay?

00:24:16.400 Matt Danzico, a self-described journalist and filmmaker, he has, on Twitter, taken the video

00:24:23.360 that Trump released of him returning from the hospital.

00:24:28.080 And he's juxtaposed it next to the Triumph of the Will, which is a Nazi propaganda film from

00:24:33.880 the 30s.

00:24:34.360 And what he found is stunning.

00:24:37.360 Okay?

00:24:37.760 Just watch this.

00:24:38.540 You can see it here.

00:24:40.060 And if you're listening to the audio podcast, what we're seeing here is it matches up exactly.

00:24:46.540 The two videos match up exactly.

00:24:48.940 Shot for shot.

00:24:50.540 You can see it.

00:24:52.260 Right down the line.

00:24:53.980 Stunning.

00:24:55.320 Apparently, the Trump campaign decided to do a shot for shot remake of a Nazi propaganda film.

00:25:02.100 Because why not?

00:25:02.860 Well, I could think of many reasons why not, actually.

00:25:06.220 And I can't think of any reasons to do that.

00:25:08.800 Even if you are secret Nazis, why would you do that? 0.82

00:25:13.540 The whole point of being a secret Nazi is that you don't let people know. 0.81

00:25:16.380 So that doesn't make a lot of sense.

00:25:18.080 Although it starts to make sense and becomes less confusing when you realize that, oh, no,

00:25:21.960 wait.

00:25:22.780 They didn't do that at all. 0.62

00:25:23.820 This is total nonsense.

00:25:24.760 It has over 20,000 retweets on Twitter, of course. 0.95

00:25:28.220 But it's total absolute nonsense.

00:25:30.320 What Dan Zico actually did is he took a two-hour Nazi film and he searched for shots that resembled

00:25:38.320 the Trump video.

00:25:39.040 And all the Trump video, the Trump video is just simply helicopter lands, Trump walks out, and then he's on a balcony.

00:25:46.300 That's it.

00:25:46.640 That's all the video is.

00:25:47.520 Now, if the video lined up that perfectly, like, if the triumph of the will was also just a two-minute video and the shots lined up that perfectly,

00:25:58.620 then even I would admit, well, it's probably, you know, that's probably still a coincidence, but it's a hell of a coincidence.

00:26:04.300 Except in this case, no, they took a two-hour movie, or this guy took a two-hour movie,

00:26:08.800 and searched through cherry-picking the same sorts of shots and then just lined them up, edited it, stitched it together.

00:26:15.720 He basically, he made his own Nazi propaganda film.

00:26:20.260 This isn't, what you just saw there, that's not Triumph of the Will.

00:26:23.000 That's Matt Dan Zico's Nazi propaganda film that he created after the fact.

00:26:28.740 He created it based on the Trump video and then said, wow, these things really line up.

00:26:33.540 Who would have thought?

00:26:35.020 How did that happen?

00:26:37.040 Well, I know how it happened.

00:26:38.140 I did it myself.

00:26:40.800 Now, the problem, of course, is that you could do that with any political ad.

00:26:43.820 Okay, you could take any political ad, probably, and you could find in it probably a few shots, at least,

00:26:49.280 that resemble some Nazi propaganda.

00:26:51.320 Oh, look, they're both waving on a balcony.

00:26:54.740 You know what else you could do?

00:26:56.620 You could search through Mein Kampf, I bet, to find the same words.

00:27:02.560 You could find, I bet you there are words in Mein Kampf that are also in other books.

00:27:09.120 In fact, I have my copy of Mein Kampf right here, and, you know, I could even, just looking through it, like, for example,

00:27:18.780 the word of, the word the, both in Mein Kampf.

00:27:26.420 My God, think about this.

00:27:29.720 Of and the.

00:27:31.260 The and of.

00:27:32.140 Where do those words sound familiar?

00:27:36.320 The art of the deal?

00:27:39.500 The Trump book?

00:27:41.940 Wow.

00:27:43.340 The Trump book is essentially Mein Kampf.

00:27:47.360 Incredible.

00:27:48.580 Anyway, by the way, this is not really Mein Kampf.

00:27:51.100 Just so you know, Media Matters, this is not really Mein Kampf.

00:27:54.320 This is Bill Bryson, A Short History of Nearly Everything.

00:27:57.180 I don't mean to impugn Bill Bryson in this way.

00:27:59.640 This is actually a great book, and it's got nothing to do, just to clarify, it's got nothing to do with Nazis or Hitler or anything like that.

00:28:05.540 Okay.

00:28:06.640 All right.

00:28:07.120 Let's, so that's it.

00:28:08.160 We're going to get to our daily cancellation in just a second.

00:28:10.400 But before we do, you know, I want to tell you about rad power bikes.

00:28:15.820 Rad power bikes, the thing is, it's more important than ever to get outside, enjoy the outdoors, get some fresh air.

00:28:21.760 And this is a great way to do that, a rad power bike.

00:28:26.580 You ever wonder what's so exciting about an electric bike, why people have them?

00:28:30.060 Well, now you can find out.

00:28:31.160 Try it for yourself.

00:28:31.860 Rad power bikes were voted best affordable electric bike in five categories by Electric Bike Review.

00:28:36.740 But even better, they're half the price of most e-bikes.

00:28:39.740 I think the thing that stops a lot of people from trying them is just that they're so expensive.

00:28:44.500 But now you can try it and they're very affordable.

00:28:47.840 It's a great way to get outdoors without getting hot and sweaty.

00:28:50.620 It's a lot of fun.

00:28:52.100 So you've got the practicality of it where you're getting around town.

00:28:55.320 But also on top of that, it's just, it's a lot of fun as well.

00:28:59.380 It's a cross between a traditional bike and a moped, but it doesn't require a special driver's license like a moped would.

00:29:04.020 So there's no red tape here.

00:29:05.360 Go up to 20 miles per hour without pedaling.

00:29:07.860 And you can, you know, you can get where you want to go without getting all sweaty.

00:29:12.060 Rad power bikes are affordable.

00:29:13.300 Most e-bikes are in the $3,000 range.

00:29:15.700 Rad power bikes start at just $999.

00:29:19.220 And most are under $1,500.

00:29:20.960 So most of them are under half the price of other e-bikes.

00:29:25.500 And some of them are even less than that.

00:29:27.280 Makes the perfect gift for someone as well.

00:29:29.800 You know, someone that you really love and you want to give them.

00:29:31.680 I mean, for me, I'm keeping it for myself.

00:29:34.100 But if you're more generous than me, you could buy it for someone else.

00:29:37.100 Rad power bikes offer flexible financing for as low as 0% APR.

00:29:40.460 And now for a limited time, you get a free accessory valued at up to $100 with the purchase of a bike.

00:29:45.160 That's right.

00:29:45.500 A free gift of up to $100 in value with your purchase and free shipping to the lower 48 states.

00:29:50.780 So get this special offer.

00:29:52.600 Text the word bike to 64,000.

00:29:54.980 That's bike to 64,000.

00:29:57.200 Text bike, B-I-K-E, to 64,000.

00:30:01.420 All right.

00:30:01.980 And also, I should mention another quick programming note that tonight, make sure to tune in to All Access.

00:30:08.260 I will be, I will be, what's the phrase I'm supposed to use?

00:30:12.700 Live reacting to the VP debate tonight, which will be a very, maybe I'll do it in front of plexiglass myself to make sure that nobody gets infected while watching.

00:30:24.380 But tune in tonight at 8.45 p.m. Eastern, 5.45 p.m. Pacific time, and we'll have fun doing that.

00:30:33.120 Okay, let's get to our daily cancellation.

00:30:35.180 Today for our daily cancellation, I will be canceling drivers.

00:30:38.480 All drivers in America, except for me.

00:30:40.280 I'm the only driver who is not canceled because I'm the only good one.

00:30:43.580 All other drivers are canceled.

00:30:45.080 You are all no longer allowed on the roadways.

00:30:47.640 So I expect smooth sailing for myself on the highways from here on out as the only person in the country who knows how to drive.

00:30:54.340 Now, I have long suspected that I am the only good driver.

00:30:57.560 I've known it from before I even had a license.

00:30:59.540 My dad took me out to give me driving lessons when I was 16.

00:31:02.480 By the end of the first drive, I was giving him the lessons.

00:31:06.680 That's not entirely true, I guess.

00:31:08.300 I think after my first lesson, he was yelling at me that if I don't learn to stop at stop signs, I'm going to hit someone and kill them, and he's not going to bail me out of jail.

00:31:16.080 But anyway, the point is, very quickly over time, I became the only good driver.

00:31:21.060 Now, it's well known that every man believes that he is the only good driver.

00:31:24.960 My dad believed it about himself and his dad about himself.

00:31:27.620 Well, and you, if you're a man listening, probably thinking about yourself, but it's not you.

00:31:31.980 I assure you, it is me, which is an honor and a point of pride, but also a burden, because I have to constantly deal with the awful driving of everybody else.

00:31:40.920 This has especially been the case over the last two weeks, when I've done a significant amount of long-distance driving, hither and yon, here, you know, there and back and everything else.

00:31:52.320 And I'll be continuing that, by the way.

00:31:54.760 I'll be, I'm driving up to Grove City for my speech after the show today.

00:31:58.960 Grove City College on Thursday, I'll be speaking for YAF there.

00:32:01.820 So make sure to, make sure you come and tune into that.

00:32:06.040 But my recent driving has only affirmed and confirmed that everyone is bad at driving except for me.

00:32:12.160 Now, let's go through a list of the types of drivers who are especially canceled.

00:32:16.880 You'll certainly find yourself on this list somewhere.

00:32:19.060 There are the obvious villains, you know, the drivers who drive too slow in the passing lane or pass in the right lane.

00:32:24.460 The drivers who don't use their turn signals.

00:32:26.460 The drivers who turn their turn signals on far too early or far too late.

00:32:29.640 Drivers who drive under the speed limit on one-lane roads and let the cars pile up behind them, going on like that for miles.

00:32:37.300 While the people in the cars trailing behind stew with rage and begin engaging in violent and unspeakable fantasies.

00:32:44.100 Drivers who take too long to start driving again when the light turns green.

00:32:47.580 And also drivers who start honking immediately when the light turns green and don't even give you a damn second to move your foot from the brake to the gas pedal. 0.88

00:32:54.620 Drivers who speed like psychopaths in residential neighborhoods.

00:32:57.720 Drivers who use their high beams when there are other cars directly in front of them.

00:33:01.800 Or driving past them in the opposite lane.

00:33:04.060 Drivers who slam on their brakes when they see a cop in a speed trap, nearly causing a 15-car pileup and also calling attention to the fact that they were just speeding.

00:33:11.500 Okay, the cops aren't dumb, they're going to see that.

00:33:13.660 Dozens of other examples. 0.92

00:33:15.680 But here are the three main terrorists of the roadways that deserve specific and special condemnation.

00:33:22.580 Number one, drivers who don't know how to merge properly.

00:33:27.760 I've always said that merging should be on the driver's exam.

00:33:30.860 Maybe it is now, I don't know.

00:33:32.160 When I went through it, it wasn't.

00:33:34.120 Instead, you practice making three-point turns and doing a couple other things.

00:33:37.720 And then the final test, the final boss of the driver's exam when I was doing it, was a parallel parking.

00:33:44.740 Parallel parking, a skill that, as expected, I excel at.

00:33:47.500 But that most people can go their whole lives avoiding if they really want to.

00:33:51.240 Merging, on the other hand, you can't avoid.

00:33:53.660 If you do it wrong, as many people do, you'll get someone killed.

00:33:57.360 Now, you'll notice an emerging situation.

00:33:59.540 As you are merging onto the highway, there is most of the time a sign that says yield.

00:34:03.920 And very often there is a thing called a merge lane.

00:34:07.500 This is an area for you to drive on as you merge.

00:34:10.600 But most people experience some kind of selective blindness and act as though the yield and merge lane don't exist.

00:34:17.880 What they'll do is, in rarer cases, just dart right into traffic, charging in, as if the other cars on the highway are made of pixie dust, so there's no need to worry about collisions.

00:34:27.240 More commonly, though, drivers will treat the yield like a stop sign.

00:34:31.580 And the merge lane, like it will collapse into a sinkhole if they drive on it too far.

00:34:35.200 So they'll come to a screeching halt in the merge lane and wait for an opening in traffic and then enter the highway going about 14 miles an hour,

00:34:43.960 oftentimes causing whole busloads of orphans and puppies to veer around them and go careening off the highway and over a cliff.

00:34:49.740 It happens all the time.

00:34:51.860 Now, it's like they take that entrance ramp, and as soon as they see the highway, they panic.

00:34:58.120 And they just stop still, and they start shouting,

00:35:01.220 What do I do? What do I do? Help! Help! What do I do?

00:35:05.200 You drive is what you do, okay?

00:35:07.160 What you're supposed to do is continue driving along the merge lane, speeding up to match the speed of traffic,

00:35:12.840 yielding to oncoming traffic, and entering the highway as soon as space opens up and allows it.

00:35:17.880 It's very simple. You go with the speed of traffic.

00:35:20.840 Number two, parking lots.

00:35:22.740 Many drivers will cause unneeded congestion and chaos in our nation's parking lots

00:35:26.800 by insisting on driving around until they find a spot that's as close as possible to the entrance of whatever Walmart they're trying to access.

00:35:33.720 These are the kinds of people who, when you're in a spot and you're getting back to your spot with your groceries,

00:35:41.000 they'll be sitting there with their blinker on, impatiently, waiting for you to pull away,

00:35:44.800 putting undue pressure on you to unload your groceries and buckle your kids up and leave.

00:35:49.700 Meanwhile, there's a spot literally 14 feet away that's open and available.

00:35:54.400 They would rather wait for 14 minutes in order to save themselves the 14 feet.

00:35:58.600 This is the incorrect strategy.

00:36:00.620 The correct thing to do is, when you're in a parking lot, pull into the first open spot you see,

00:36:06.460 no matter how far it is from the building.

00:36:09.260 When we go to football games in the city, for example, as a family, back when that was still legal,

00:36:14.100 I'll just take the first spot I find as soon as we get into the city, even if it's 27 blocks from the stadium.

00:36:18.420 By the time we walk there, it's halfway through the third quarter.

00:36:20.600 But you know what?

00:36:21.580 I am not contributing to parking lot congestion, unlike the rest of you heathens. 1.00

00:36:27.020 Three, finally, this is a big one, stop signs.

00:36:31.160 Most people know, I hope, that at a four-way stop, whatever car arrives first has the right of way.

00:36:37.680 If two cars arrive at the same time, then the car to the right has the right of way.

00:36:41.900 These are the rules.

00:36:42.880 The problem happens when there's confusion or uncertainty about who arrived first.

00:36:47.320 And at this point, in most four-way stop situations, everyone is frozen in panic and fear.

00:36:52.620 Nobody knows what to do.

00:36:53.980 Someone in one of the cars must lead, must take charge of the situation.

00:36:57.660 Now, me being the only good driver, I, of course, always assume this leadership role.

00:37:01.340 I say to the other drivers, do not fear, do not be afraid, for I am with you.

00:37:06.180 I will show you the way.

00:37:07.160 And at this point, I will magnanimously wave the other driver on.

00:37:12.100 Just like this, with generosity and kindness in my eyes, I will say, go.

00:37:16.020 Go, my child.

00:37:16.920 Be free.

00:37:17.500 Go.

00:37:18.280 But then what always happens?

00:37:20.020 The other driver will start waving to me.

00:37:23.560 And they'll say, oh, no, I couldn't.

00:37:24.920 I couldn't accept this gift.

00:37:26.540 You go.

00:37:27.120 You go on my leash.

00:37:27.920 Please, I beg of you.

00:37:28.900 So I say, okay, I accept your terms.

00:37:30.880 And I start to go.

00:37:31.860 But then right at the moment that the other, right at that moment when I'm going, the other car says,

00:37:35.780 never mind, I think I want to go.

00:37:37.360 And they start going.

00:37:38.100 And then I stop and say, okay, then you go.

00:37:40.220 And they say, no, no, no, seriously, you go.

00:37:42.060 Never mind.

00:37:42.500 And I say, fine, I'm going.

00:37:43.860 And right as I start to drive, they say, actually, I think I'd kind of like to go.

00:37:47.660 And they start driving.

00:37:48.700 And this game of stop and start goes on sometimes for hours, days.

00:37:52.780 This could all be avoided if you would just go from the first moment I wave you on.

00:37:57.400 This is the rule of good driving.

00:37:59.860 If you get waved on, just go.

00:38:03.260 Just go.

00:38:04.580 You got the wave.

00:38:06.120 Go. 1.00

00:38:06.860 Go, you idiot. 1.00

00:38:07.780 I don't care if I'm waving you into a volcano. 1.00

00:38:10.420 You get the wave.

00:38:11.820 You go.

00:38:12.780 Never defy the wave.

00:38:14.740 The very order and stability of our society depends on the power of the wave when you're driving.

00:38:20.540 So go. 1.00

00:38:21.740 And don't forget to give the thank you wave in return, you ungrateful bastard. 1.00

00:38:24.600 Most people struggle with most of these points. 1.00

00:38:28.080 Everyone but me struggles with at least some of them.

00:38:31.320 You might argue that I clearly do struggle with immense amounts of road rage and am not

00:38:35.220 psychologically fit to be driving the streets or indeed to be in human society at all.

00:38:39.700 That may or may not be the case.

00:38:42.280 But this isn't about me.

00:38:44.060 Stop changing the subject.

00:38:45.720 This is about you.

00:38:47.280 And you, as a driver, are canceled.

00:38:49.760 So if you're driving right now while you're listening to this, just pull over, get out

00:38:54.980 of your car, leave the car there, walk home.

00:38:58.020 That's your only choice.

00:38:59.740 All right.

00:39:00.660 Good.

00:39:01.200 Glad we could establish all that.

00:39:03.400 That was very loud when I did that.
