The Matt Walsh Show - Ep. 585 - The Goalposts That Never Stop Moving

00:00:00.000 Today on the Matt Wall Show, Democrats are out in force, fully trying to undermine confidence

00:00:05.080 in a coronavirus vaccine, even before it's been released. They're already trying to undermine

00:00:09.180 confidence. And these are the people who constantly preach about trusting science

00:00:12.840 and trusting the experts. Also, five headlines, including Joe Biden retreating to his basement

00:00:17.980 once again as the Hunter Biden scandal continues to explode. And a rapper releases a hot new joint,

00:00:24.280 as the kids would say, I think, confessing to unemployment fraud. He now faces 22 years in

00:00:29.900 prison for unemployment fraud. And in our daily cancellation, I will cancel phone calls. All

00:00:35.760 phone calls are canceled and I'll explain why. All that on the way. But we begin with a trip down

00:00:40.640 memory lane. You know, there was a time you may remember many, many moons ago when we embarked

00:00:45.840 on a 15 day quest to slow the spread. 15 days to slow the spread. That was the slogan. Those were

00:00:51.780 our marching orders, except they weren't really marching orders because we weren't marching. We

00:00:56.240 were sitting in our homes, hiding under our beds. But they said, the main thing is just to stay home,

00:01:00.520 social distance. Oh, and whatever you do, don't wear a mask, you idiots. And then 15 days passed and 1.00

00:01:05.960 the orders changed. Nevermind. They said, we'll have to stay locked down until Easter. Then Easter

00:01:11.020 came and went and they said, nevermind. Let's keep this going for another month. We're having fun. Why

00:01:14.960 not? Then another month passed and they said, nevermind. Actually, we meant two months. Oh, and by the

00:01:20.000 way, I know we yelled at you earlier not to wear a mask, but now we've decided that you have to. 0.98

00:01:24.360 And if you don't, you're a murderer and not welcome in polite society. And then three months 0.71

00:01:28.920 came in wine and still the country was under various different restrictions and mask mandates.

00:01:33.420 We started hearing that, in fact, we might have to wait until a vaccine arrives before we can

00:01:38.260 fully get back to our lives and carry on like normal human beings again in a functioning society.

00:01:43.860 Some of the most optimistic and maybe naive among us may have thought that, okay, well, until there's

00:01:50.620 a vaccine, that has to be the last goalpost shift. The last wait, nevermind. It's got to be the last.

00:01:57.680 Surely once there's a vaccine, at least after however, however many, after however many months

00:02:02.260 or years of being forced to live, like every stranger we meet is radioactive. Surely once

00:02:08.240 there's a vaccine, that'll be over. Surely. But no, no, you silly fools. There is infinite space

00:02:15.240 in which to maneuver these goalposts. They can be moved and shifted indefinitely for all eternity,

00:02:21.300 which brings us to the latest change. That now, even with a vaccine, we may still have to be under

00:02:26.860 restrictions because we can't trust the vaccine. And this we can't trust the vaccine stuff is not

00:02:33.860 just coming from the once maligned anti-vax crowd, but from the very people who were doing the maligning

00:02:39.880 of the anti-vax crowd. Case in point, Governor Andrew Cuomo of New York. Now, Governor Cuomo,

00:02:45.840 who consigned many thousands of elderly in his state to death by sending infected patients into 0.95

00:02:50.440 nursing homes and who then, even while the pandemic is still happening, decided to write a book bragging

00:02:55.380 about his stellar leadership throughout it. That same Governor Cuomo, who could make a claim for

00:02:59.780 himself, I think, as the most evil and certainly shameless politician in America, was on ABC last night

00:03:05.780 and had this to say about vaccines. Listen. How confident are you in the approval process of 0.80

00:03:11.620 the FDA right now? Well, first, how confident am I? I'm not that confident, but my opinion doesn't

00:03:19.180 matter. I don't believe the American people are that confident. You're going to say to the American

00:03:23.520 people now, here's a vaccine. It was new. It was done quickly. But trust this federal administration

00:03:30.800 and their health administration that it's safe, and we're not 100 percent sure of the consequences,

00:03:38.440 I think it's going to be a very skeptical American public about taking the vaccine, and they should

00:03:43.140 be. So what's it going to take to convince you that it's safe, that it's effective, that it should

00:03:47.560 be distributed? Well, what I said I'm going to do in New York is we're going to put together our own

00:03:52.720 group of doctors and medical experts to review the vaccine and the efficacy and the protocol,

00:03:59.500 and if they say it's safe, then I'll go to the people of New York and I will say it's safe

00:04:05.540 with that credibility. But I believe all across the country, you're going to need someone other than

00:04:12.360 this FDA and this CDC saying it's safe. This, of course, is in keeping with what many Democrats have

00:04:19.780 said, though Cuomo is a bit more direct in his politicization of vaccines than other Dems like

00:04:25.640 Biden have been. And remember, again, there was a time when everything you just heard in that clip

00:04:30.800 would have been dismissed by people like Cuomo as anti-vax conspiracy mongering. And that time was

00:04:38.480 all time until 12 seconds ago. And what is he even claiming here? That the scientists behind the

00:04:45.620 theoretical coronavirus vaccine would put something out there, something dangerous or ineffective,

00:04:49.680 just to satisfy Trump? Now, I'm openly skeptical of the reliability of some of the so-called experts,

00:04:56.120 but even I wouldn't make that claim. After all, merely from a self-interest standpoint,

00:05:01.320 they would want the vaccine to be safe because putting out a bad vaccine on purpose would at a

00:05:05.500 minimum ruin your career if not land you in jail. So this attack on the so-called experts from Cuomo

00:05:10.740 goes much, much further than anything you hear from other people like Trump. And this is the same guy,

00:05:18.140 Cuomo, who's told us, lectured us ad nauseum to believe the science, trust the scientists,

00:05:23.620 trust the experts, and so on and so on. In fact, in this same interview, a few moments later,

00:05:28.880 he outright says that we cannot trust the experts at the FDA and the CDC. Listen.

00:05:34.920 The CDC, George, and the FDA doesn't have any credibility. You have Dr. Fauci now saying that

00:05:41.840 they basically tried to muzzle him. He has the highest credibility in the nation on this issue.

00:05:47.540 And then, not only is the vaccine safe, this administration is learning nothing from the

00:05:55.120 past. What they're saying is the day we get the vaccine, that's when it ends. That's not true.

00:06:02.460 The day we get the vaccine, we then have to prove to the American people it's safe.

00:06:06.800 We then have to administer millions of doses. And that is a massive undertaking that this

00:06:15.140 administration hasn't even talked about and is going to take months. And if it's not done right,

00:06:21.260 will be a debacle, like back in January and February, when we made so many mistakes with

00:06:27.940 this COVID virus. No credibility? Really? No credibility. Now, I'm not going to sit here and

00:06:33.380 say that the CDC does have credibility on this. I'm not here defending the credibility of the CDC.

00:06:38.140 That's not my point. Cuomo is the one who's been preaching about trusting the experts.

00:06:42.040 And now he says the CDC has no credibility? Well, if so, why did we lock down at all? Why are we

00:06:47.700 still under restrictions? Why are we listening to them on masks? Do they have credibility or not,

00:06:52.840 Cuomo? The answer for him is that they have credibility when it's politically convenient

00:06:58.460 for them to have credibility. Just like the vaccine will be effective and safe if and when it is

00:07:04.680 politically convenient for it to be so, like if it's released under a President Biden.

00:07:08.840 Look, there are perfectly valid questions you could raise about a potential vaccine that's

00:07:13.580 rushed through and given to the public. Usually these things take years. A vaccine that hypothetically

00:07:19.560 is developed in mere months could raise legitimate questions. And if that's all that Cuomo and his ilk

00:07:25.540 were saying, that would be one thing. But that's not their point. For them, it's all about Donald Trump.

00:07:31.480 And Joe Biden has said that explicitly. I trust vaccines. I trust scientists. But I don't trust

00:07:40.380 Donald Trump. At this moment, the American people can't either. I trust vaccines, but I don't trust

00:07:47.080 Donald Trump. Well, what does Donald Trump have to do with anything? Trump isn't the one working on

00:07:51.460 the vaccine. He isn't the one doing the tests. He doesn't have anything to do with it. Why say I trust

00:07:57.200 the vaccines, but I don't trust Donald Trump? Well, because he's trying to leave himself an opening

00:08:02.560 for disputing the efficacy and safety of a vaccine should one come out during Trump's time in office,

00:08:08.120 which, remember, could could be another four years. What if Trump wins reelection and a vaccine

00:08:14.440 comes out in, say, May or something? Will Democrats discourage people from taking it for four years just to

00:08:21.520 avoid giving credit to Trump? You would like to say that such a thing would be unthinkable, but it's not

00:08:27.820 unthinkable. As they have shown time and again for the Democrats, there is no low that is too low. There is no

00:08:34.340 depth to which they will not sink, all for the sake of power and control. That's what we're facing, which is

00:08:42.540 something to keep in mind when you cast your vote on Election Day. Let's get to our five headlines.

00:08:51.520 Well, nobody wants to spend unnecessary amounts of time doing anything, especially not, you know,

00:08:59.760 something like going to an auto body store. It's not exactly a barrel of laughs, not a huge amount

00:09:05.060 of fun. So if there's an easier way, why not take advantage of it? There is an easier way. I'm here

00:09:09.980 to tell you rockauto.com is so much easier than walking into a store, going through that whole

00:09:13.820 rigmarole. You have access to rockauto.com at your desk, in your pocket. Anytime you just pull out your

00:09:19.320 phone, go to rockauto.com and you're going to find always the lowest prices possible. And they're

00:09:23.860 not going to change their prices based on, you know, trying to get everything they can out of

00:09:38.900 manufacturers. They've got the best selection that you're going to find. You're not going to find a

00:09:43.440 better selection at an auto parts store. In fact, what you're going to find is probably you're not

00:09:47.780 going to find what you're looking for. They're going to have to order it online anyway. You're

00:09:50.880 going to pay more. Just go right to rockauto.com. Prices at rockauto.com are always reliably low

00:10:13.680 available for your car or truck. Write Walsh in there. How did you hear about us box? So that

00:10:17.760 they know that we sent you. All right. So CBS News correspondent Ed O'Keefe reports that Joe Biden

00:10:25.840 has called a lid on the whole week until Thursday night at the next debate. We're not going to see

00:10:32.160 him again, apparently, until the debate, O'Keefe says. Joe Biden still has not answered any questions

00:10:37.680 about the New York Post's multiple reports about Biden's son Hunter and the laptop. Not just one,

00:10:43.400 multiple laptops. Apparently, this guy's got, it's got to be difficult to lose one laptop,

00:10:49.240 but this guy has lost laptops all across the globe. He's just, he's been globetrotting

00:10:54.380 and like Johnny Appleseed or something, just, just dispersing laptops apparently.

00:10:59.300 Um, and, uh, and, but we haven't heard any heard anything from, from, uh, from Biden officially on

00:11:05.420 this denying it. If it was, if, if these, uh, now we've heard from some people on the left and

00:11:12.100 people in the media trying to run cover for them and some other elected Democrats saying this is all

00:11:16.940 a Russian, this is a, this is a Russian misinformation campaign. Well, if that was the case, if they were,

00:11:21.740 if these were just fabricated, made up emails, uh, fabricated out of whole cloth, this is nothing but,

00:11:30.120 but fantasy and fiction, then Biden will come out right away and say, this is completely made up.

00:11:36.060 This is crazy. And if there was reason to think that it was a, the Russians were involved and Biden

00:11:42.060 would say that too, but he hasn't, he hasn't said anything. And, and, and he has been asked now in

00:11:49.540 fairness to me, he hasn't been asked that much. So it's not like he's, he's, he's had his feet to

00:11:53.260 the fire, but he has been asked a couple of times. In fact, he stopped for a milkshake over

00:11:56.620 the weekend. And the first question he was asked is, uh, what flavor milkshake he got?

00:12:03.040 Because this is the kind of media we have. But after that, he was asked about the emails and

00:12:08.680 here's how that went.

00:12:19.540 Just wave it away. Wave the question away. I don't have time to talk about this. Ask me

00:12:24.860 something important, like what I'm going to have for lunch after the, uh, or, or, you know,

00:12:28.680 what am I going to have for breakfast tomorrow? We'll talk about that. What am I going to put in

00:12:32.420 my omelet tomorrow? Why don't you ask me that? What are you asking me about this for? So it's that

00:12:36.500 easy. If you're a Democrat, it's that easy. But now this means that Biden will have to, whatever

00:12:41.240 excuse he's going to come up with for this, he's going to have to give it for the first time

00:12:47.420 live at the debate. Now, true, the moderator is not going to press him on it, but Trump will talk

00:12:52.740 about it. So Biden will have to say something. He's not going to be able to get through the whole

00:12:56.540 debate, not even acknowledging this. He's going to have to give some kind of answer. Um, and whatever

00:13:02.120 the excuse is, he's going to be debuting that excuse, that talking point live on national TV

00:13:09.180 with an aggressive opponent standing right next to him. This seems to me like an incredibly foolish 0.99

00:13:14.720 political strategy. Now, you know, who am I to give advice, especially to a Democrat, but it seems 0.97

00:13:21.380 to me if these emails are real, which there's no reason to think they aren't that if I'm in the

00:13:26.380 Biden camp, what I'm going to do is I'm going to come out like right now and say, yes, they're real.

00:13:32.760 Uh, you know, uh, come up with whatever, whatever excuse you want. Hunter Biden comes out, gives a

00:13:37.420 tearful apology. Uh, and, and, uh, you, you, you come up with, it doesn't matter, just some BS.

00:13:42.320 You can come up with whatever, whatever BS excuse you want, especially because you know,

00:13:46.200 the media is going to be on your side. And then, but the point is you just, you, you get it all out

00:13:49.960 there now. And then you've got two weeks before the election and you hope that people forget about

00:13:54.820 it by then, which they probably will, because as I always talk about, people forget about everything.

00:13:59.060 That would be the smart strategy, but they're not going with that. Instead, they're,

00:14:02.580 they're dragging this out and they're going to have Joe Biden address it directly at the debate

00:14:08.160 for the first time. Um, all right, well, another reason to tune in should be fun to watch. Number

00:14:16.340 two. Um, and I say this, by the way, I say this as someone who, um, I think the emails are of course

00:14:24.800 important and relevant and they potentially expose corruption. So they, they matter.

00:14:32.580 They actually do matter, but I, I'm skeptical about how much they'll matter in the minds of

00:14:38.800 the average voter. And I'm, and I'm also, I'm, I'm a little bit worried and I could be wrong.

00:14:44.660 I always take the pessimistic approach as you know. So, um, I'm not looking for the silver

00:14:48.920 lining. I'm looking for the dark cloud in between, you know, that's that the silver lining

00:14:53.160 is encompassing. So from the dark cloud approach, uh, I, I, I do worry whether with two weeks left

00:15:01.460 in the campaign, is this the best closing argument? Should this be the final argument

00:15:08.500 against Biden? Should it be something focused around Hunter Biden, his, his loser scumbag son, 1.00

00:15:14.600 even though it involves Joe Biden too, uh, allegedly, is it, is it best for this to be 0.98

00:15:22.820 the closing argument or what we have been hearing from the Trump campaign, which is that Joe Biden

00:15:28.600 is a Trojan horse for the far left. We talk about the riots. We talk about all this kind of stuff,

00:15:32.680 anti-police, everything else. Now, yeah, you could do both, but sort of one thing or the other has to

00:15:38.080 be your primary focus, especially with only two weeks left. I tend to still think that the most

00:15:42.280 important thing, the, the thing that's gonna be most persuasive, persuasive to voters. And that's

00:15:46.760 the easiest to understand is the fact that he's a Trojan horse for the far left, which is also true 0.99

00:15:52.440 by the way, and important. So I'm not really sure. Number two, um, there was another protest over the

00:15:59.980 weekend. Of course, this one, I think in Boston, and here's a protester, anti-Trump protester,

00:16:04.420 uh, apparently pretending to eat, uh, a heart, a bleeding heart. Just watch.

00:16:11.320 I'm on fire! I'm on fire! I'm on fire! I know, it's fine. Don't worry.

00:16:35.440 Oh God. Kill him up! Kill him up! Kill him up! Kill him up! 1.00

00:16:42.440 The chaos, guys. You're in Christ. Chaos! Woo! Make America great again! 1.00

00:16:49.260 Oh, make America great again! Woo!

00:16:52.120 Praise to the chaos, guys! Praise to the chaos, guys! Praise to the chaos, guys!

00:17:04.460 Praise to the chaos, guys! Praise to the chaos, guys! Praise the chaos, guys!

00:17:10.640 Praise to the chaos, guys!

00:17:19.920 Super happy!

00:17:22.980 OK, so this is either mental illness or drug abuse or demonic possession or perhaps a combination of all three.

00:17:36.820 Maybe we don't have to choose. We joke about Trump derangement syndrome and how Trump has literally driven the left insane. 0.97

00:17:44.160 But the truth is that these people were already insane. 0.82

00:17:47.140 They were driven insane, many of them from their own sense of entitlement and their own narcissism. 0.82

00:17:51.880 That's what's driven them insane. But what that means is they simply cannot psychologically handle being in a position where things are not going exactly as they like and want.

00:18:04.820 And that's where Donald Trump comes in, because they hate him so much.

00:18:09.440 And they were so sure that he shouldn't be president. And then he became president and they they couldn't handle it.

00:18:15.720 That's why the classic the classic clip of the woman on her knees screaming no at the sky.

00:18:22.740 What is that? It's just she she cannot deal with this.

00:18:28.560 And this is what we're seeing from the left. So entitled, so narcissistic. 0.93

00:18:32.400 They psych a lot. They have a psychological break. 0.65

00:18:35.980 When something happens that they really, really don't want to happen.

00:18:39.600 Number three, Democratic Senator Chris Coons on CNN on Sunday is the latest to come out and explicitly threaten to add seats to the court, the Supreme Court.

00:18:50.980 Speaking of having a psychological break because things are happening that you don't want.

00:18:54.540 If he doesn't get his way in the Barrett confirmation fight, this is this is the threat that he's making.

00:18:58.640 Listen, if Barrett is confirmed and Democrats win back the Senate, would you vote to expand the number of justices on the Supreme Court if it came up for a vote?

00:19:09.500 Is that something you'd be in favor of?

00:19:10.920 Well, Jake, like Joe Biden, I'm not a fan of expanding the court, but we have a few weeks here to see whether there are four Republicans who will step back from this precipice.

00:19:22.480 It is President Trump who has pressed for this nominee so he can have a key vote to overturn the Affordable Care Act in the middle of a pandemic.

00:19:31.560 It is the Republican majority that's responsible for racing forward with this extreme unqualified nominee, unqualified because of her extreme judicial philosophy. 1.00

00:19:42.400 And that's who should be bearing the brunt at the ballot box in this election, that they're doing this to get someone on the court just in time a week after the election to take away critical health care protections from a majority of Americans.

00:19:55.980 We need to focus on that.

00:19:57.680 So you oppose if we happen to be in the fact pattern where we have a President Biden, we'll have to look at what the right steps are to rebalance our federal judiciary.

00:20:05.880 So your mind is open about adding justices to the Supreme Court? Yes or no? Just your mind is open?

00:20:11.580 Yes.

00:20:12.120 Your mind's open. OK.

00:20:13.220 You know, I think one of the most shocking things about 2020, probably the most shocking thing of everything, is that this confirmation fight has has.

00:20:22.860 And maybe I'm speaking too soon because the final vote is until Thursday, I guess.

00:20:26.840 But so we still have a few days for this to change.

00:20:28.940 But as of right now, this confirmation fight has been really easy and smooth.

00:20:33.640 We were all predicting a knock-down, drag-out, fight-to-the-death kind of situation.

00:20:41.260 And it hasn't been that.

00:20:42.640 Yeah, they've gone after Amy Coney Barrett, but just with the standard stuff, Handmaid's Tale comparisons, that sort of thing.

00:20:49.320 So just really standard leftist talking points.

00:20:52.960 Nothing too, you know, nothing too serious.

00:20:55.360 And that's been it.

00:20:57.640 A big part of that is because Amy Coney Barrett is that bulletproof of a nominee.

00:21:03.640 But also it makes me, again, going with the pessimistic angle, it makes you a little suspicious.

00:21:11.240 And then you realize, well, why is it going so smooth?

00:21:14.540 Because I think the Democrats, they're being coy about it, but they fully intend to go with the, to pack the court.

00:21:22.600 I think they fully intend to do that now.

00:21:24.140 And that's why they're cutting their losses here.

00:21:26.540 And they're saying, well, we can't stop it anyway.

00:21:28.960 There's no sense in coming off like psychotic lunatics any more than we already do just in our day-to-day lives.

00:21:34.100 So we're just going to let this kind of happen because we know what we're going to do when we're in power.

00:21:41.020 All right.

00:21:42.280 Number four.

00:21:42.920 Many reports in the media claiming that the owner of the Redskins, well, the then Redskins,

00:21:49.040 told the cheerleading coach that he has to keep the cheerleaders skinny and with big breasts. 1.00

00:21:56.640 Only he didn't say breasts. 0.98

00:21:57.580 But Dan Snyder, the owner, said that they have to be skinny and, you know, and that way or the cheerleader coach will be killed. 0.99

00:22:08.520 Now, I think we can assume the or I'll kill you part of it was not meant to be taken literally.

00:22:14.960 And assuming that, the rest isn't much of a controversy, right? 0.57

00:22:18.220 Of course, you want the professional cheerleaders to be skinny and busty. 1.00

00:22:21.840 I mean, as opposed to what?

00:22:23.060 But the interesting thing is that the media headlines are about this alleged comment from Daniel Snyder about him body shaming or whatever.

00:22:32.840 But it comes as part of a larger report that, among other things, the Redskins allegedly produced lewd videos of the cheerleaders.

00:22:39.680 And the videos were created and disseminated to someone without the cheerleader's knowledge.

00:22:46.000 Now, apparently, the other claim is that the women may have signed a contract giving the team permission to make whatever kind of video they wanted. 0.99

00:22:54.160 So they might not have a legal leg to stand on in any kind of lawsuit.

00:22:58.800 But even so, it's interesting to me that that's the story.

00:23:05.100 And you would think that would be the headlines.

00:23:06.560 Instead, the media is making headlines about mean comments from Daniel Snyder.

00:23:15.360 The mean words of the headline, not the potential alleged softcore porn video made allegedly without the permission of the women involved.

00:23:22.280 So you see where priorities of the media go.

00:23:24.400 Okay, number five, finally.

00:23:26.160 I've been biding time waiting for this.

00:23:28.120 This is my favorite.

00:23:28.840 This is my favorite story of the year, perhaps.

00:23:30.520 A rapper who goes by the name Nuke Bizzle recently released a song called EDD, where he bragged about getting rich off of fraudulent unemployment claims.

00:23:42.060 And he has now been arrested for filing fraudulent unemployment claims.

00:23:48.020 He's accused specifically of access device fraud, aggravated identity theft, and interstate transportation of stolen property, based up to 22 years in prison.

00:23:55.920 After being apparently mailed 92 debit cards, loaded with collectively over a million dollars in benefits that he then turned around and used, I think, at least half of it.

00:24:09.760 So he did all this.

00:24:11.280 Now, this is, you can almost see where he's coming from a little bit because rappers routinely brag in their music about committing crimes.

00:24:20.580 So I think Nuke Bizzle figured, well, I mean, they brag about it, so why can't I?

00:24:24.120 But the problem is that he bragged very specifically about a particular crime that's easily proven.

00:24:31.620 See, if you're going to do this as a rapper, brag about committing crimes, you have to be a lot more vague than that.

00:24:37.020 Like, you can say that you've killed a bunch of people, but if there's a specific open investigation into a murder, and you confess to it by name in a rap song, and even film yourself dancing around with a murder weapon, probably you're going to go to jail.

00:24:52.160 And that was the mistake.

00:24:54.000 Kind of subtle, but that was the mistake that Nuke Bizzle made.

00:24:56.680 Anyway, I know you're hoping and praying right now that I'll play the song for you, and your prayers will be answered.

00:25:01.740 Without further ado, here is the great artist Nuke Bizzle with his masterpiece.

00:25:08.120 And he paid dearly for this song, so I think we should all enjoy it and appreciate his sacrifice.

00:25:13.400 But here is his masterpiece, EDD.

00:25:16.120 Listen.

00:25:16.320 Created.

00:25:18.240 Your card now has been activated and is ready for use.

00:25:42.000 Go to the bank, get a stack at least. 0.61

00:25:43.900 This s*** is better than 7B. 0.94

00:25:45.300 There's some rags that I couldn't believe in. 0.97

00:25:47.560 10 cars, there's 200 bucks.

00:25:49.420 I got a shot at the Donald Trump.

00:25:51.280 I just might swipe me alone, son.

00:25:53.120 I'm in Dior having money for them.

00:25:55.000 I done got rich, I'm an EDD. 0.98

00:25:56.640 I ain't hear no motherf***ers in EDD. 0.96

00:25:58.540 And just last night I was selling P. 0.98

00:26:00.340 And I just woke up to 300 G.

00:26:02.320 Spore 60K off of SBA.

00:26:04.240 It's turning about like the NBA.

00:26:05.920 10 cars, I'm swiping 10K a day.

00:26:07.920 Counting the bills to the CPA.

00:26:09.860 You got a said cocaine.

00:26:11.600 I can defile a claim.

00:26:13.020 Rags coming straight to the bank. 0.98

00:26:14.200 I'm doing s*** you can't. 0.99

00:26:15.760 S*** on smart and you ain't. 0.99

00:26:17.160 EDD scams, they tell it you heard about. 0.96

00:26:19.440 I be so happy to certify.

00:26:21.260 Get on that laptop, I'm working out.

00:26:22.940 Get 25, clasin' for hours.

00:26:24.780 She train my life and I gotta admit it.

00:26:26.720 More money, I swear I'd have had in a minute.

00:26:28.700 You didn't tell me.

00:26:29.640 I can just wait on the email and get certified for a 20. 1.00

00:26:32.400 Damn, this s*** is better than dealing. 0.99

00:26:34.300 Yeah, turn me to a scam or creep. 1.00

00:26:35.840 Now, I think the main guy you just heard there, full disclosure, was not Nuke Bizzle.

00:26:41.140 The YouTube video says it's Nuke Bizzle featuring Fat Wizza, a rapper named Fat Wizza.

00:26:45.840 Now, I don't want to engage in stereotypes or body shaming myself, but I'm assuming that the first gentleman rapping in the video was Fat Wizza, given that he's, well, fat. 0.55

00:26:56.480 But, in any case, notice the lyrics, what 12 or 13% of them I could actually understand.

00:27:01.180 He says, you gotta sell cocaine, I can just file a claim.

00:27:05.220 I'm doing the stuff that you can't.

00:27:07.620 I'm smart and you ain't.

00:27:10.320 Yes, smart.

00:27:12.060 Well, that's one word for it, Fat Wizza. 0.82

00:27:14.700 Wouldn't be the word I'd choose, but things are open for interpretation, I suppose.

00:27:19.060 I do want to say, though, credit where it's due.

00:27:20.620 There was one part of this video that I saw, and I thought it was legitimately positive.

00:27:28.580 So, here I will look at the silver lining.

00:27:30.960 And I think there's one part of the song that had a great message.

00:27:33.400 And I wanted to show that to you also.

00:27:34.980 Watch this. 0.92

00:27:50.620 Okay, so he's talking about killing people.

00:27:56.240 He's, of course, bragging about felony fraud. 0.91

00:27:58.440 Fine, fine, fine.

00:27:59.240 But in the video, he's actually, and you can't see this if you're listening to the audio podcast, but it's not reflected in the lyrics.

00:28:05.860 But in the video, he's rapping in one scene with a toothbrush.

00:28:10.400 He's got his toothbrush in the bathroom, and he's kind of like brushing his teeth, and he's also rapping.

00:28:14.560 At the same time, just like I do every morning, in fact, when I'm brushing my teeth.

00:28:18.860 And I think that's a really positive message about oral hygiene.

00:28:21.800 That's the main headline for me as a hopeless optimist.

00:28:26.120 I see that, and I think, okay, that's what this is really about.

00:28:29.900 These guys defrauded unemployment in order to be able to fund and shoot this PSA for oral hygiene. 0.86

00:28:37.660 And maybe this will start a trend, and all the rappers will try to one-up each other by showing off their elaborate dental care routines.

00:28:45.460 It's possible.

00:28:46.640 Next thing you know, like, Drake is going to have a video where he's guzzling Listerine out of a golden chalice.

00:28:53.040 I mean, who knows?

00:28:54.420 It could be a positive development.

00:28:58.300 And that's what I'm going to take from this.

00:29:00.560 In this case, I will see the positive.

00:29:03.280 So best of luck to Newt Bizzle.

00:29:05.880 So I would hate to think that he goes to jail for 22 years, and we are deprived of his music.

00:29:14.560 It would be hard for me to even go on in a situation like that.

00:29:18.280 All right, before we get to our daily cancellation, you know, we've been talking about the COVID lockdowns and everything.

00:29:23.940 Obviously, small businesses have taken the brunt of a lot of these draconian and, I think, suicidal measures that the government has put in place.

00:29:32.540 And that's why it's so important to, you know, to understand how to navigate and lead your way through a crisis.

00:29:43.500 And that's why we're excited to tell you that this Wednesday, the Daily Wire God King himself, Jeremy Boring, is going to be presenting alongside a team of world-renowned business leaders at Expert Ownership Live.

00:29:52.100 It's a two-day virtual conference about leading through crisis.

00:30:38.560 All right.

00:30:39.140 Time for our daily cancellation.

00:30:40.780 Today, we're going to cancel phone calls.

00:30:43.460 Nobody's allowed to talk on the phone anymore for any reason.

00:30:46.280 I have to put an end to it.

00:30:47.640 It's gotten out of hand.

00:30:49.260 There is simply no good excuse to engage in this kind of primitive barbarism anymore.

00:30:55.540 It amazes me still every day that in the year 2020, there are still people, lots, even probably billions of people,

00:31:01.340 who will intentionally pick up their phone, dial a number, and attempt to have a purposeful live conversation with another human being on the other end.

00:31:09.720 This is flabbergastic to me.

00:31:11.160 My ghast is officially flabbered by it.

00:31:14.860 And I'll tell you why.

00:31:15.480 First of all, in 99 out of 100 cases, whatever's being communicated on the phone could have been communicated with greater efficiency through another method, like text message or email.

00:31:29.080 Or, depending on the situation, simply waiting until you see the person face-to-face.

00:31:33.180 My wife is notorious for this. 1.00

00:31:34.900 She'll sometimes call me while she's out and I'm at home.

00:31:37.980 17 minutes into the conversation, I'll say, wait a second, where are you right now?

00:31:41.240 And she'll say, oh, I'm in the driveway, pulled in 16 minutes ago.

00:31:44.740 But there are worse offenders than this.

00:31:46.540 Consider the sort of person.

00:31:47.460 This is the worst kind of person, period, in existence.

00:31:51.280 The sort of person who you text a question to them.

00:31:54.840 Could be even a yes or no question.

00:31:56.940 Literally a question that would require a one-word response.

00:31:59.800 And they call you to deliver it.

00:32:02.320 Or the sort of person, and this is often the same sort of, the exact same person, who will text you and ask to schedule a time to talk on the phone.

00:32:10.540 And if you're me, you know, you'll try to schedule the chat for sometime in the year 2027.

00:32:14.940 But invariably, you end up chatting sooner than that.

00:32:17.100 And what always happens?

00:32:19.000 The thing they wanted to talk about, they could have simply said to you through the initial text message.

00:32:25.560 There was like one additional sentence of information they wanted to communicate.

00:32:30.480 And for some reason, they insisted on doing it through audible dialogue.

00:32:35.120 Why is this a problem?

00:32:37.100 Well, because everyone knows phone conversations come with baggage.

00:32:42.580 There are strings attached.

00:32:44.180 There are the initial pleasantries leading up to the meat of the discussion and then branching off down a million unrelated avenues.

00:32:51.600 And finally, the lengthy goodbye process, which usually involves me saying something like,

00:32:57.220 All right, got to jump off.

00:32:58.780 Or the classic, I'm going to let you go now. 0.98

00:33:01.900 Translation, I don't want to talk to you anymore and hope to never speak to you again ever in my life, you blabbering bore.

00:33:07.800 But whenever I drop one of those hints, the other person always just charges through.

00:33:14.180 Continues prattling on.

00:33:16.220 And I have to continue strategizing new ways to end the conversation.

00:33:20.580 It's a game of chess, basically.

00:33:22.180 A showdown.

00:33:22.860 That's how I view every phone conversation.

00:33:25.200 You should know.

00:33:26.220 If you've ever spoken to me on the phone, I can tell you right now, I spent the entire conversation strategizing ways in my head to end it.

00:33:35.580 Everything I said in the phone conversation was really my attempt to segue into a conclusion.

00:33:42.020 That's it.

00:33:43.320 Now, I might feel differently if phone conversations in real life function like they do in the movies.

00:33:49.360 Perhaps you've noticed, and this has bothered me for years because it's so unrealistic,

00:33:53.400 that people in movies, when they're talking on the phone, they never say goodbye.

00:33:56.820 One person or the other simply reaches what they believe to be the end of the exchange, and they hang up unannounced.

00:34:04.000 Oftentimes, too, there's no hello.

00:34:06.280 There's no hello.

00:34:07.160 There's no goodbye.

00:34:08.300 No small talk.

00:34:09.360 Every phone conversation in movies goes like this.

00:34:12.560 Person one calls person two.

00:34:14.580 Person two picks up the phone but doesn't even say hello.

00:34:17.860 Person one, not flummoxed by this, then delivers a piece of information like,

00:34:22.580 meet me tonight at 11 o'clock under the bridge.

00:34:27.200 And person two then just hangs up.

00:34:29.580 Never says a word.

00:34:30.640 Not one word.

00:34:31.940 And person one isn't offended.

00:34:33.520 There's never a scene where person one follows up with a text message and is like,

00:34:37.420 dude, why'd you hang up on me?

00:34:39.220 I didn't even tell you what bridge yet.

00:34:41.000 There are 14 bridges in this town.

00:34:42.540 How do you know where we're going to meet?

00:34:44.140 What's going on?

00:34:44.720 Are you okay?

00:34:46.060 That never happens.

00:34:47.180 The phone conversation is as efficient as a text message,

00:34:50.160 but with a touch of ESP, where the two sides already know certain things about each other's

00:34:54.760 intentions without it being said out loud.

00:34:57.000 Now, if that's how it was in real life, maybe I'd be okay with people calling me.

00:35:02.440 But it's not.

00:35:04.000 So I'm not.

00:35:05.800 What I hate most about phone conversations, aside from how frivolous and unnecessary and

00:35:09.460 boring and circuitous they always are, the other thing I hate is that I'm speaking to a 1.00

00:35:14.120 disembodied voice that is injecting itself directly into my eardrum.

00:35:19.040 It's very unnatural and intrusive.

00:35:22.180 I can't read the voice's body language.

00:35:24.360 It can't read mine.

00:35:25.980 And there can't be any gaps in the conversation.

00:35:27.920 That's the worst part, actually.

00:35:30.060 When you're talking to someone in your living room, it's okay for there to be gaps and pauses

00:35:34.400 and breaks.

00:35:35.180 You can run into the kitchen.

00:35:36.140 You can go to the bathroom where neither person is saying anything.

00:35:38.820 But in a phone conversation, gaps are torturously awkward.

00:35:42.980 They can't be tolerated.

00:35:43.900 And so the empty space in the conversation must always be filled, which only leads to

00:35:48.460 more banal small talk, which extends the conversation that by any measure should have

00:35:53.340 petered out long ago.

00:35:55.160 And the absolute worst of all, the person calling you, simply by the act of calling you, is

00:36:01.120 intruding into your day with no concern for what else you might be doing.

00:36:04.140 When that phone rings, it's like someone running into the room going, let's talk now.

00:36:07.900 We have to talk now.

00:36:08.660 Now, now, now, now, now.

00:36:09.920 Talk now.

00:36:10.260 Talk now.

00:36:11.300 And then when you do talk, thinking it must be an emergency, they say something like,

00:36:17.060 oh, hey, just checking in.

00:36:19.420 It's unacceptable.

00:36:20.920 By simply calling someone in the first place, you are being at a minimum rude, but probably

00:36:25.740 I would argue that making a phone call is itself an immoral act worthy of eternal damnation.

00:36:33.240 That's why phone calls are canceled.

00:36:35.180 There will be no exceptions.

00:36:36.280 I don't want to hear any guff about how, well, I'm out of town on business for three weeks

00:36:40.580 and I want to talk to my kids.

00:36:42.300 Don't give me the sob story.

00:36:44.340 Rules are rules.

00:36:46.120 Phone calls are canceled.

00:36:48.480 And we will all be better off for it.

00:36:52.660 That's it today.

00:36:53.960 Thanks for watching, everybody.
