Today on the Matt Wall Show, the media will stop at nothing to distract from the Hunter Biden
00:00:04.040
scandal. They somehow managed to stoop to a whole new low this week. You wouldn't think it's
00:00:08.000
possible, but they did. Also, five headlines, including Joe Biden giving his fullest answer
00:00:11.660
yet on the court packing question, and it's not a good answer, and a deeply offensive ranking
00:00:16.540
of Halloween candy that we have to discuss in our daily cancellation. I'm going to cancel everyone
00:00:21.400
once and for all, all people, all of us, and I have been given no choice. I'll explain why.
00:00:25.680
All that coming up. But first, I can't emphasize enough the importance of protecting yourself,
00:00:30.000
when you're online. October is National Cybersecurity Awareness Month, a collaborative
00:00:34.660
effort to make sure every American has what they need to stay safe and secure online.
00:00:39.160
Individuals and organizations are being reminded, if you connect it, protect it. You know, easy to
00:00:43.320
remember, easy to do also. And we are all encouraged to take proactive steps to enhance cybersecurity and
00:00:49.740
protect our part of cyberspace. It's important to understand how cybercrime and identity theft
00:00:54.760
are affecting our lives. Every day we put our information at risk on the internet. You could
00:00:58.400
miss a lot of the different threats that are out there by just monitoring your credit. So you got
00:01:02.280
to do more than that. LifeLock does a lot more than that. LifeLock detects a wide range of identity
00:01:06.780
threats, like your social security number being for sale on the dark web. No one, you know, and they do
00:01:11.640
much more than that, but no one can prevent all identity theft or monitor all transactions at all
00:01:16.240
businesses. LifeLock, though, can see threats that you are probably going to miss on your own. Join now and save
00:01:21.560

off. You know, we on the right complain about the media a lot. Conservative commentators like me
00:01:35.340
especially complain about it. Justifiably so. They deserve all the criticism and then some. But I'm
00:01:40.420
afraid that the constant stream of complaints prompted by a constant stream of offenses worthy
00:01:46.180
complaint have made us so numb that we can't appreciate the magnitude, the severity, the perhaps
00:01:53.020
historic significance of the evil being perpetrated by the media right now as we speak. Which isn't to
00:01:59.420
say they're behaving worse now than they've ever behaved before. After all, just in the last few
00:02:03.880
years, we've seen them do many things. Try to ruin a teenage boy's life for wearing a MAGA hat and
00:02:09.200
smiling. We've seen them orchestrate, of course, a ruthless smear campaign against a Supreme Court
00:02:13.680
nominee and not for the first time. In the last few months, we've seen them intentionally foment
00:02:18.500
race riots directly on the heels of them helping to push lockdowns that put millions of people out
00:02:24.580
of work. And add that to the various hoaxes they perpetrated in order to try to take down the Trump
00:02:31.720
administration, it becomes clear why it's so hard to be shocked or appropriately outraged by what these
00:02:37.920
people do anymore. But let's not allow that to overshadow what has happened in the last several
00:02:44.340
days. And I won't even spend much time on the sideshow of the media coming out in defense of
00:02:50.780
Jeffrey Toobin, who, of course, masturbated in front of co-workers during a Zoom meeting.
00:02:56.060
There have been multiple media personalities and outlets who have outright defended Toobin, including
00:03:01.660
this New York Daily News article, claiming, quote, Jeffrey Toobin's history of bad sexual judgment
00:03:07.880
is really about our unease with masturbation. And it continues, but I'm guessing you do the same,
00:03:14.840
dear reader. Maybe you should stop feeling weird and guilty about that.
00:03:19.220
This is from Jonathan Zimmerman, who is telling on himself more than anything. No, Jonathan,
00:03:24.720
I do not expose myself during Zoom meetings. I think most people don't. It's never happened on a
00:03:29.940
Zoom meeting I've been a part of, thank God. If you do, you should indeed feel guilty and weird about
00:03:34.700
that. Of course, the problem here is that Toobin pulled out his tube during a work meeting. You
00:03:40.640
know, he didn't think the camera was on, but even so, why are you doing that then during a work
00:03:49.500
meeting? This is certainly worse than anything Louis C.K. ever did. Louis C.K., at least, according to
00:03:53.880
the stories, asked for consent before he engaged with himself, and he did it in private.
00:03:59.940
Which is more than can be said for Toobin. Yet Toobin has media defenders. Louis C.K. had none. Why?
00:04:05.000
Well, even though Louis C.K. is a liberal, Toobin is one of theirs. He belongs to the media. And more
00:04:10.200
importantly, he's seen as an important cog in the machine to defeat Trump. As a Toronto Star article
00:04:16.680
directly argued, saying, quote, the country needs him. So we can't afford to worry about him
00:04:22.000
masturbating in front of co-workers. But this, as I said, is a sideshow for the most part.
00:04:27.000
More important than Toobin's antics is the bombshell scandal surrounding Hunter Biden,
00:04:31.900
who has been getting up to antics of his own, antics that include perhaps potentially money
00:04:37.280
laundering. Fox News reported yesterday, reading now from Fox News website, the FBI subpoena of a
00:04:42.600
laptop and hard drive purportedly belonging to Hunter Biden came in connection with a money laundering
00:04:47.100
investigation in late 2019, according to documents obtained by Fox News and verified by multiple
00:04:52.680
federal law enforcement officials who reviewed them. It is unclear at this point whether the
00:04:56.220
investigation is ongoing or if it was directly related to Hunter Biden. Multiple federal law
00:05:00.660
enforcement officials, as well as two separate government officials, confirmed the authenticity
00:05:04.200
of these documents, which were signed by FBI Special Agent Joshua Wilson. Wilson did not immediately
00:05:09.820
respond to Fox News' request for comment. One of the documents obtained by Fox News was apparently
00:05:16.560
designated as a, quote, receipt for property, from which details from the Bureau's interactions with
00:05:23.460
John Paul MacIsaac, the owner of the Mac shop, who reported the laptop's contents to authorities.
00:05:30.180
And so that's the Fox News report there. Speaking of confirming authenticity, Hunter Biden's business
00:05:35.600
partner, who is by no means a Republican operative, has now also come out and confirmed the authenticity
00:05:40.900
of the emails that were first published by the New York Post, for which the Post is still, by the way,
00:05:46.440
locked out of its Twitter account, last I checked. But he's come out and confirmed it. Again, reading from Fox,
00:05:52.860
it says, Tony Bobulinski, who was listed as the recipient of an email published by the New York Post that
00:06:00.780
appeared to detail a business arrangement involving a Chinese company and members of the Biden family, has
00:06:05.720
confirmed that the email is genuine, provided more information regarding the Biden's role in the deal.
00:06:11.700
The email includes a note that, quote, Hunter has some office expectations he will elaborate.
00:06:17.340
Proposed equity split references 20 for, quote, H and, quote, 10 held by H for the big guy, with no
00:06:25.060
further details. The reference to the big guy in the much publicized email is, in fact, a reference to
00:06:31.260
Joe Biden. This is what Bobulinski said in a statement to Fox News. Bobulinski said he is the CEO of
00:06:37.760
Sino Hawk Holdings, which he explained, quote, was a partnership between the Chinese operating through
00:06:43.720
CEFC Chairman Yeh and the Biden family. He said he was brought on as CEO by Hunter Biden, who was listed as
00:06:51.560
and James Gilliar, who was listed as sender of the email. Bobulinski went on to say he does not believe Joe
00:06:57.500
Biden's past claim that he and Hunter did not discuss his son Hunter's businesses, claiming that Hunter
00:07:03.220
frequently referenced asking him for his sign off or advice on various potential deals. So there's no way to get
00:07:10.560
around this. The emails are real. It's been confirmed by one of the guys involved in the email exchange.
00:07:16.040
What else do you need? And that would be proof enough, but it's not even the only proof. The fact
00:07:20.980
that the FBI is investigating the laptops is also evidence that the laptops, well, exist at least.
00:07:27.880
Yet the media has been involved in a wide ranging, concerted, choreographed effort to blatantly lie about
00:07:34.160
this story. Cover it up with a big help from big helping hand from big tech. And then yesterday,
00:07:40.800
finding new lows to sink to somehow, many media outlets all at once tried to discredit Rudy Giuliani,
00:07:49.060
who's the man, of course, who obtained the laptops, started running with a story that the new Borat film,
00:07:54.240
which comes out tomorrow, catches him in a hotel room with a, quote, underage girl touching his genitals.
00:08:00.760
That's what the media reported. Sounds pretty bad. Until you realize that it's a total fabrication,
00:08:04.620
as Rudy himself said. But don't take it from Rudy. Ben Dreyfuss, editorial director at Mother Jones,
00:08:09.920
not at all a conservative publication, put it mildly, looked at the segment in the film and said
00:08:14.840
that the reporting is false. Straight up, it's wrong. He says, quote, I've now seen the scene with
00:08:19.020
Rudy Giuliani, and though it is creepy for other reasons, it is being described on Twitter in a false way.
00:08:23.740
He does not have his hand down his pants in a sexual way. He is tucking his shirt back in
00:08:27.620
after she untucks it, removing his mic. The scene is confusingly edited for comedic purposes,
00:08:33.400
which makes sense since this is a comedy film and not a 60 minutes expose. It would be good to keep
00:08:38.660
that in mind in light of the flattening of media where everything can seem like everything else.
00:08:44.280
Now, this all stems from a bit, if you can call it a bit, where an actress pretends to be a reporter
00:08:50.040
interviewing Rudy in a hotel room. At the end of the interview, she suggests going back to her room
00:08:57.400
for a drink. She flirts with him. He tucks in his shirt. Then that image is taken, used out of
00:09:05.000
context. But the thing is, even if he was flirting back to her, who cares? The actress is 24. It's not
00:09:12.540
an underage girl. She was initiating. She's 24. Rudy isn't even married. So how would this be a
00:09:17.480
scandal? How would this be remotely a scandal, even if he was doing what they claimed he was doing?
00:09:22.380
Apparently he wasn't, but it wouldn't matter if he did. This was an attempt by Sasha Baron Cohen to
00:09:26.760
simply destroy Rudy Giuliani in the name of comedy, comedy with scare quotes. That's of course how
00:09:31.600
Sasha Baron Cohen's comedies work now. He tries and have really always worked. He tries to embarrass
00:09:36.160
and humiliate people for his own entertainment. Often people who, unlike Rudy, are not wealthy or
00:09:41.340
prominent. So Sasha Baron Cohen is a rich Hollywood dirtbag who goes around trying to embarrass mostly
00:09:49.160
poor people and middle class people for fun. Once in a while, throwing in a prominent Republican
00:09:54.680
and then just straight up smearing them. I mean, you get what the attempt was in this bit. It was
00:10:01.300
just to flat out destroy Rudy Giuliani. That's what they wanted to do. Even if you don't like Rudy
00:10:07.600
Giuliani, that's not comedy. That's an attempted hit job. And it didn't work. And it never made sense
00:10:15.140
anyway, given again, this is a grown adult woman, uh, apparently flirting with another grown adult
00:10:21.540
man, man, neither of them are even married. Where's the scandal here? But this was all,
00:10:30.340
of course, an attempt to distract, um, from the Hunter Biden scandal and the media will stop at nothing.
00:10:37.080
Absolutely nothing. This is what happens when they, when they say that, that Donald Trump is as bad as
00:10:44.740
Hitler and that his supporters are Nazis and white supremacists and racists. They mean it. They really
00:10:50.380
believe it. And you add that to the fact that these are moral relativists who believe that the ends
00:10:57.120
justify the means already. Well, when the end you have in mind is getting rid of Hitler, anything goes.
00:11:04.700
There are, there are no moral qualms, no ethical standards, do anything. And that's what we're seeing
00:11:11.960
happen right now. And it's going to get worse. We can guarantee that over the next few days. Let's get to
00:11:18.420
our five headlines. You know, as we talk about the craziness in the media and in the world generally, um,
00:11:29.360
and all these companies and, uh, various outlets that you can't trust, that's why it just, it just, again,
00:11:34.700
highlights and emphasizes the need to have some companies out there who share your, your values
00:11:39.300
and who are working on your side in the culture. And when, when you find a company like that, you
00:11:44.160
got to support them. And that's really easy to do. Fortunately, with charity mobile, the pro-life phone
00:11:49.160
company, look, 5% of your monthly plan of your monthly plan price goes to the pro-life pro-family
00:11:55.080
charity of your choice. Um, and on top of that, so that's, um, that's the, the, the good deed that
00:12:02.260
you're helping charity mobile do. Also though, it's a great service, new activations and eligible
00:12:07.040
accounts, get a free cell phone with free activation and free shipping. Uh, there are no
00:12:11.020
contracts or no termination fees. There's no, none of those strings attached that you get with a lot
00:12:15.080
of cell phone companies and there's no risk, um, at all with a 30 day guarantee. Plus on top of that,
00:12:20.760
if you have any issues, live customer service based right here in the USA, uh, and a lot of other
00:12:26.560
things to get free usage alerts. You get, you have the ability to block, uh, use of cellular data,
00:12:31.080
picture messages, text messages on any, uh, or all lines on your account. So this is a good way.
00:12:36.320
If you have kids and they have a phone, you know, a good way to protect them as well. Um,
00:12:40.520
but on most of all, you're helping to build a culture of life in America while supporting a
00:12:45.460
pro-life company. And like I said, it's, it's a, it's a win-win when you've got a good company and a
00:12:51.160
good cause. And it's also up, up to us to support those companies when we find them. And here's one
00:12:57.120
right here. Call Charity Mobile at 1-877-474-3662 or chat with them online at charitymobile.com.
00:13:05.400
Also wanted to mention, uh, by the way, you know, as we've been talking about this Hunter Biden
00:13:09.600
laptop story that was buried by Facebook and Twitter and a big tech teaming up with a big
00:13:15.540
media to cover this up. Now, personally, as I've said, I'm, I'm worried that the Hunter Biden stuff
00:13:23.400
will not, um, have the effect that it should, it won't resonate with the voters. I don't know,
00:13:30.540
but I, I, I have a cynical view as I do with most things with this, but big tech's attempts to censor
00:13:36.340
the story. I think that is something, especially that resonates with, with voters because voters
00:13:40.660
are worried about censorship and for good reason. Um, and you know, I think there's a role for the
00:13:45.180
government to step in here, but you also have to balance that with having them involved in the
00:13:50.120
dangers of getting government involved in anything. And so there's a lot to balance and
00:13:53.800
think about. That's why this week, our own CEO, uh, co-CEO Jeremy Boring launched a new podcast
00:13:58.940
titled Enough. In his first episode released yesterday, Jeremy takes on the leftist outlets
00:14:03.060
trying to get conservatives kicked off of Facebook. This has been a, an effort obviously
00:14:07.200
that they've been engaged in for a long time. Listen now at the link in, in the description and
00:14:11.520
subscribe to Jeremy's podcast to get his other, his other rants about big government, big tech,
00:14:15.760
Hollywood hypocrisy, anything else that comes to mind. Uh, it's a great podcast. Check it out.
00:14:20.840
And if you like it, leave a review. So it gets recommended, um, to more people. All right,
00:14:27.820
we'll get to our headlines here. Um, as you can see, by the way, boxes, this is my last, this is our
00:14:32.800
last day in this, in this house. And so that's why everything is empty and very sad. Um, more about
00:14:39.960
that later though. Number one, a clip from Joe Biden that he posted, which is getting some
00:14:45.240
attention. Well, I'll just, I'll just play it for you first. Watch this. America was an idea,
00:14:51.940
an idea. We hold these truths to be self-evident. We've never lived up to it, but we've never walked
00:14:59.080
away from it before. And I just think we have to be more honest and let our kids know as we raise
00:15:06.720
them what actually did happen. Acknowledge our mistakes. So we don't repeat them.
00:15:14.160
Okay, Joe, first of all, no, America is not an idea. It's a country. It's a country founded on,
00:15:21.540
founded on certain ideas, but it's not itself an idea. Uh, this is not a pedantic point here.
00:15:28.980
This is important. The left actually does want us to see America as an idea and not a country
00:15:34.380
because that's how they justify rampant unchecked immigration. That's, that's, that's how they do
00:15:40.680
it. That's their line. They say that essentially, as long as someone has the same idea, then they're
00:15:48.160
already American. They're already part of the country. It's just an idea, but no, America is a
00:15:54.780
legal entity. It is a country. And you know, one of the ways I know that is that because, um, I have
00:16:02.960
to pay taxes and so do you probably. You don't have to pay taxes to an idea. You pay taxes to a country
00:16:10.860
and I'm guessing that on tax day, I can't refuse to pay my taxes on the grounds that ideas don't cause
00:16:17.760
money. When the IRS comes knocking on my door, wondering why I haven't paid taxes. I can't like
00:16:24.200
rip a bong hit and say, Hey man, America's an idea, bro. Okay. It's just like an idea.
00:16:33.360
Chill out, man. I, something tells me that that, that line of reasoning, that argument will not
00:16:38.060
be persuasive to the IRS agents, but I don't know. Number two from the daily wire says CNN host Chris
00:16:43.620
Cuomo was shamed by his building manager and threatened with a fine for disobeying regulations
00:16:48.340
and walking through the building maskless. Fox news host Tucker Carlson released a letter that Cuomo's
00:16:53.920
building manager apparently sent to the CNN personality on August 6th, outlining the
00:16:58.780
complaints against him. And, uh, I'll play this. This is Tucker reading the letter. Listen,
00:17:03.680
this show has obtained a letter from the management of Chris Cuomo's New York city apartment building.
00:17:09.440
The letter in question is addressed directly to Chris Cuomo. The date on it is August 6th,
00:17:15.060
2020. Here's what it says. Quote, dear Mr. Cuomo, as I'm sure, you know, because of the ongoing COVID-19
00:17:20.640
health crisis on April 15th, 2020, governor Cuomo issued executive order 202.17, which requires
00:17:28.180
anyone over the age of two to wear a face mask or cloth that covers their mouth and nose while in a
00:17:33.960
public space. Okay. That's how it starts. That's a fair guess that Chris Cuomo already knew that
00:17:38.820
because after all, he's the mask guy. And of course his own brother issued the order. So with that in
00:17:45.040
mind, listen to how the letter continues. Quote, you have been observed entering and exiting the
00:17:50.280
building and riding the elevator without the required face coverings. Even though staff members
00:17:55.720
have asked you to comply with this requirement, you have refused to do so. This is a violation of
00:18:02.080
the executive order building policy, and it places other residents and our staff at risk. There are no
00:18:09.020
exceptions to this rule and you are required to comply. The letter goes on to threaten Chris Cuomo
00:18:15.180
with a $500 fine. If he continues to endanger his neighbors and the city with his masklessness.
00:18:21.460
That's what the letter says. Yeah, no surprise there. Although I have to say, I do enjoy Tucker
00:18:25.840
Carlson casually destroying Chris Cuomo on his show like twice a week now. I do enjoy it. Someone has to
00:18:35.040
do it. And with the mask thing, of course, as we've seen time and time again, pure hypocrisy,
00:18:41.240
not just the mask thing, but lockdowns, everything. These people that are pushing it,
00:18:46.720
they don't believe it themselves. They don't think that it applies to them.
00:18:50.900
And it's really easy to support something like a mask mandate, a lockdown when you personally are
00:18:56.300
exempt, even if you're not really exempt. But if you feel like you're exempt and you're going to
00:19:00.260
operate that way, then it's pretty easy to advocate it for everybody else. So more of the
00:19:04.740
number three, back to Joe Biden, finally giving his, I guess you could say his fullest answer yet on
00:19:12.180
the question of court packing. It's still not really an answer, but it's the most we've gotten
00:19:16.780
from him. Here's what he says. If elected, what I will do is I'll put together a national commission
00:19:22.400
of bipartisan commission of scholars, constitutional scholars, Democrats, Republicans, liberal,
00:19:28.660
conservative. And I will ask them to over 180 days, come back to me with recommendations as to how
00:19:37.460
to reform the court system, because it's getting out of whack, the way in which it's being handled.
00:19:45.260
And it's not about court packing. There's a number of other things that our constitutional scholars have
00:19:50.040
debated. And I'd look to see what recommendations that commission might make.
00:19:54.040
So you're telling us you're going to study this issue about whether to pack
00:19:57.220
the court. No, whether there's a number of alternatives that are go well beyond packing.
00:20:02.720
This is a live ball. Oh, it is a live ball. No, it is a live ball. We're going to have to do that.
00:20:07.860
And you're going to find there's a lot of conservative constitutional scholars are saying
00:20:11.240
it as well. The last thing we need to do is turn the Supreme Court into just a political football.
00:20:16.580
Whoever has the most votes gets whatever they want. Presidents come and go. Supreme Court
00:20:21.700
justices stay for generations. It's getting out of whack, he says. It's all out of whack.
00:20:28.040
The courts are all to be clear here. When he says it's out of whack, what he means is that
00:20:35.640
Republicans were able to confirm a few justices. That's that's what out of whack is. The left's
00:20:42.740
stranglehold on the court was broken. And so that means the court is broken. That's what out of whack
00:20:48.720
means. That's what they mean. That's what the left always means when they say something is out of
00:20:52.900
whack, broken, needs to be reformed. Desperate reform is needed. We need to change it fundamentally,
00:20:59.300
fundamental change. What they mean is that in this particular area, things have not gone 100% our way.
00:21:08.540
And so that's that's always what they mean. We need to reform it because things have not worked
00:21:13.920
out 100% how we want them to. The whole thing is broken. If this isn't working exactly how I wanted
00:21:20.540
to, then it must be broken. That's it's the only explanation I can come up with. Number four,
00:21:26.600
the speaking of it not going how they want, the Senate Judiciary Committee today voted 12 to zero
00:21:30.900
to advance Amy Coney Barrett's nomination, sending it to the Senate vote. I think they're a vote on
00:21:35.800
Monday. So to the full Senate. The reason it was 12 to zero is that all the Democrats boycotted the
00:21:41.400
vote. Poor guys. They're very upset. Their tummy's hurt. And they just weren't going to show up to
00:21:47.780
vote. I don't I don't know what. So now it's a unanimous. Now it's a unanimous decision to move her
00:21:52.780
nomination forward. That's how they what are they even trying to achieve here politically and in terms
00:21:59.960
of optics? You're upset. You can't really say why you're upset. Well, you don't like her because of
00:22:06.160
her her what you perceive her ideology to be. But all this stuff that they tried about how this is
00:22:13.160
unprecedented. This is unconstitutional. Of course, that's ridiculous. So they couldn't come up with
00:22:18.440
any good reason to boycott, but they did. Politically, though, all you have done is ensure that now we can
00:22:24.920
say she was unanimously approved by the Senate Judiciary Committee. Good job, guys. Number five.
00:22:31.860
Finally, the the website 538 has published what they call the ultimate definitive Halloween candy
00:22:38.200
power ranking. I don't know what method they used to arrive at this, but it is a it is a fatally
00:22:45.200
flawed method. I can tell you that this is what their top 10. OK, here's here's their top 10.
00:22:50.780
Reese's Peanut Butter Cup, Reese's Miniatures, Twix, Kit Kat, Snickers, Reese's Pieces, Milky Way,
00:22:57.680
Reese's Stuffed With Pieces, Reese's Stuffed With Pieces, Peanut Butter M&Ms, and Butterfinger.
00:23:09.520
Payday candy bars come. Don't don't don't make the list until number 47. They put milk duds ahead of
00:23:15.980
paydays and they've got nerds above Mike and Ike. Speaking of speaking of out of whack, this list is
00:23:21.220
out of whack. It's absurd. It's offensive. Reese's are way, way, way overrepresented.
00:23:26.220
They're they make up like half of the top 10, if not more. Which, of course, is to be expected
00:23:32.740
for the most overrated thing on Earth, potentially. If I were to make a list, my own list, of the most
00:23:38.280
overrated things, period, in all categories of existence, it would probably be number one,
00:23:44.200
Reese's, number two, dogs, number three, the Beatles, number four, the beach, number five, Star Wars.
00:23:51.600
Those are the most overrated things, but Reese's is definitely at the top of that list.
00:23:54.380
Peanut butter itself is overrated, but Reese's peanut butter isn't even real peanut butter. It's
00:24:00.560
like some kind of factory byproduct with a vaguely peanut-y flavor surrounded by stale chocolate.
00:24:07.840
Snickers, obviously, is the best candy, just objectively and scientifically speaking.
00:24:13.040
Paydays should be in the top five, and if you've got a more mature adult palate able to pick up on the
00:24:20.740
subtleties of flavor, then you're going to enjoy Payday. Mike and Ike's are top five. Milky Way
00:24:26.740
probably rounds out the top five. Kit Kats are great, if you like the taste of cardboard. Butterfingers
00:24:32.420
are very good, if you're the sort of person who enjoys eating congealed, hardened vomit.
00:24:38.960
But it doesn't belong anywhere in the top 100, or anywhere else on Earth, frankly. So this list is
00:24:44.800
an abomination, as expected. All right, we're going to get to our daily cancellation, and it's an
00:24:50.360
important one in just a second. But first, you know, it's really important when you're making
00:24:55.560
investments to hedge your investments with some gold. But it can also be really expensive to just
00:25:01.380
go out and buy gold. So here's something new. You know how the price of gold has been skyrocketing
00:25:06.300
lately? Now there's a new way to buy gold through a company called Acre. Acre lets you subscribe to
00:25:11.640
gold bars for as little as $30 a month. You pay each month, and once your gold stash reaches the
00:25:17.220
price of their gold bars, they discreetly ship Acre gold to your house. So this is a great service.
00:25:22.580
It's a new way of doing it, and it makes it seem obtainable, whereas before it could seem like it
00:25:28.920
wasn't. Acre lets you invest in physical gold without coming out of pocket all at once. Acre keeps
00:25:33.620
you updated on your gold stash every month, and it ships once you reach the price threshold. With Acre,
00:25:39.640
taking physical delivery of your gold means it's safe and sound, and it's in your hands,
00:25:44.140
and you don't have to worry about it. Acre ships your gold directly and discreetly to your door.
00:25:48.560
And Acre just recently introduced their new $100 per month subscription for their five-gram gold bar.
00:25:54.340
You want to check this out and use this. I know for me, I have my vision for our new home,
00:26:01.140
and we have a new home in Nashville. And I don't know if I'll be able—this might not be
00:26:04.800
achievable. But of course, like any kid, I grew up wanting like Scrooge McDuck to have a whole room
00:26:10.340
full of gold coins I could dive into. So maybe I can achieve that dream here. Visit getacregold.com
00:26:15.980
slash Walsh and start investing in physical gold today. Make sure you go to this URL because Acre is
00:26:20.760
giving away a gold bar. To qualify for the giveaway, tweet or post why you should be the recipient and
00:26:26.120
mention at get underscore Acre. Again, that's getacregold.com slash Walsh.
00:26:31.440
And a big thank you to Acre Gold for supporting the show. We're excited about this new sponsor.
00:26:38.120

when you sign up today. Okay, time for our daily cancellation. Today for our daily cancellation,
00:27:34.980
we're all canceled. Everyone. Everyone's canceled. We're all canceled. Enough is enough.
00:27:39.960
The reason we're canceled is because a NASA spacecraft just yesterday landed on an asteroid 200 million
00:27:46.760
miles away. It landed, touched down, collected samples to bring back to Earth. The spacecraft left our
00:27:53.800
planet four years ago, has traversed that great distance, actually has been orbiting the asteroid
00:27:58.100
for the last two years, and now will return home with the mission completed. Now, understand that
00:28:03.240
this rock, about the size of the Empire State Building, is traveling 60,000 miles an hour. Just
00:28:08.860
think about that. NASA sent a spaceship 200 million miles away. That's over four times the average or
00:28:15.000
either the minimum distance between Earth and Mars. They sent it 200 million miles to an object only the
00:28:21.360
size of the size of a building, landed it in an area the size of three parking spaces, touching down
00:28:26.900
only three feet from the precise targeted location. That is an utterly amazing engineering feat. It's
00:28:32.980
mind-boggling. It's spectacular. There's even a short video footage of the event. Why does all this mean
00:28:40.000
that we're canceled? Well, because instead of talking about that, about that tremendous and fascinating
00:28:46.220
subject, we've all been talking about Jeffrey Toobin's penis and Borat, and God knows what else.
00:28:54.140
This is how it always goes. We live in a universe of wonders. We're surrounded by the astonishing,
00:28:59.700
the bewildering, the incredible, and none of that can hold our attention or attract our interest
00:29:04.800
the way a story about a man publicly masturbating can, or the way that any gossipy nonsense can,
00:29:10.520
or any pointless controversy. We all complain about this, though. I hear from people all the time,
00:29:15.240
oh, I wish the news would focus on positive, interesting things more. People complain to me
00:29:20.720
about it, about my show. Matt, I agree with you, but I wish you'd talk about positive things.
00:29:24.660
No, you don't. No, you don't. You say you do, but you don't. We all say we do, but none of us really
00:29:30.620
do. The fact is, the positive, the interesting, the non-controversial, these stories are out there.
00:29:36.680
That content is out there. It just doesn't attract much attention. Unless it's a story about, like,
00:29:42.160
a dog helping a blind man find his favorite hat, and there's a cute two-and-a-half-minute video we
00:29:47.960
can share on Facebook, that story, you know, is positive, and the video would get 15 billion
00:29:52.200
views. But positive and significant, positive and consequential, positive and truly interesting,
00:30:00.640
those are the stories that almost nobody really cares about, except in theory. And if I were to spend
00:30:07.240
a week talking only about those kinds of positive stories, by the end of that week, I'd have maybe
00:30:11.980
five listeners left. My audience would literally be cut in half. So we're all complicit. We prefer
00:30:18.940
the inane, the empty, over the wondrous, and the enthralling. Another example, last year, there was
00:30:24.600
a picture of a black hole released. First time ever that a black hole has been photographed. You can see
00:30:29.420
it here. Now, that is an object 55 million light years away. 55 million light years. A light year
00:30:38.280
is 6 trillion miles. 55 million times 6 trillion. You do the math. I certainly can. And this thing is
00:30:42.800
6 billion times the mass of the sun. The word gargantuan doesn't begin to describe it. A force
00:30:49.300
of power beyond anything we can imagine. Anything we've seen across distances too vast and too empty to
00:30:56.080
be comprehended. This picture was released. And you know what most people said? It's blurry. It's
00:31:02.760
blurry. It's boring. I'm bored. Let's see what Kanye West is tweeting about. But I suppose that's
00:31:08.820
better. That reaction is preferable to when five or six years ago, a module was landed on a comet
00:31:13.260
300 million miles away. And the discussion around that event, if you remember, centered around the
00:31:18.720
allegedly sexist shirt of the scientist who headed up the project. At least nobody found a reason to be
00:31:24.840
offended by the asteroid landing yesterday or the black hole. But I'm sure our best minds are
00:31:29.660
figuring out a way to make that happen. Now, I really believe, I really do, that aliens could land
00:31:35.940
on this earth, emerge from their spaceships, and start revealing the secrets of the universe.
00:31:39.940
And it wouldn't even trend on Twitter or make headlines on CNN unless the aliens said something
00:31:45.440
homophobic or racist. Or if they mentioned that they support Donald Trump. Then in that case,
00:31:50.500
sure, global news, CNN's headline would say something like, aliens invade earth,
00:31:55.100
stir controversy with offensive comments. Then there'd be the BuzzFeed article, replete with
00:32:00.360
gifs and snarky one-liners, with a title like, 10 most problematic things the aliens said when they
00:32:06.480
came to earth. The aliens would look around, shake their heads, and say, holy shit, you people are
00:32:12.480
stupid. And then leave. They were going to tell us how to cure all known diseases, harness energy
00:32:18.860
directly from the core of the sun. But never mind. And after they leave, within 12 hours,
00:32:24.460
the new cycle will have moved on. Three months later, somebody will post a massively viral tweet
00:32:30.540
that says, LOL, remember the time aliens came? And there'd be like a gif from space balls or Mars
00:32:36.600
attacks. And that will be the only record of the event. Humanity's last word on the subject.
00:32:44.160
So we're all canceled. We're canceled for being us, for being human. It's our greatest flaw.
00:32:52.700
And on that appropriately dour note, and depressing note, I will end the show for today. The last show
00:32:58.460
from my home here, which is also canceled, this studio. In fact, my first studio, which would,
00:33:03.760
of course, be my car, was hauled away to the junkyard just this morning. And now this.
00:33:08.080
So this is a time of change. Of endings. And new beginnings. So that's going to do it for me.

Hey, everyone. It's Andrew Klavan, host of The Andrew Klavan Show. The Joe Biden email scandal
00:34:07.260
is looking more and more like the real deal. And as always, the cover-up is as bad as the crime.
00:34:13.560
We'll take a look at that, and we'll talk to the wonderful Jenna Ellis about the Supreme Court
