Today on the Matt Wall Show, the Biden team is making its closing pitch to voters, and the
00:00:03.900
closing pitch is, maybe not surprisingly, full-blown Marxism. Will it work? Will it backfire?
00:00:08.720
If it does work, what does that say about our country? Also, five headlines, including cities
00:00:12.460
bracing for leftist rioting after the election. If I was a leftist, I'd be pretty ashamed. Though,
00:00:18.900
if I was a leftist, I'd also be incapable of shame, I guess. And a special daily cancellation
00:00:23.480
today that you're not going to want to miss. All that on the way. First, though, a word from Rad
00:00:27.840
Power Bikes. You know, whether you want a new way to get around town or get out in nature, even if
00:00:32.900
you've got your kids in tow, you've got to try Rad Power Bikes. It's a great way to get outdoors
00:00:36.460
without getting all hot and sweaty. So it's a lot of fun. It's also just a practical way of getting
00:00:40.180
around, get to work. You know, you're not going to show up at the office dripping with sweat. Your
00:00:43.640
colleagues will, and co-workers will appreciate that. Fun and practicality. It's a great combination,
00:00:48.000
and you get that with this. A cross between a traditional bike and a moped, but it doesn't
00:00:51.820
require a special driver's license like a moped would. But that doesn't mean the thing is slow.
00:00:55.940
In fact, it goes up to 20 miles per hour without pedaling. Rad Power Bikes, very affordable
00:01:00.260
as well. Most e-bikes are in the range of like $3,000. These start out at just $999, and most
00:01:06.760
are under $1,500. So most of them are half of what you're going to pay for most e-bikes.
00:01:12.480
Great for commuting, getting out on the trail, hauling groceries, hauling kids, whatever it
00:01:16.360
is. Now for a limited time, Rad Power Bikes offers flexible financing for as low as 0% APR
00:01:21.320

00:01:35.140
All right, well, with only hours left before the election, the Biden-Harris ticket has decided
00:01:40.380
to go all in on Marxism. That's their closing pitch, their closing argument. The thing they
00:01:45.280
want voters thinking about as they head to the polls on Tuesday is this. Of course, Biden-Harris
00:01:50.000
has always been all in on Marxism, as has the whole Democrat Party for years now, but
00:01:55.040
what I'm going to play for you now is perhaps the most direct and explicit endorsement of
00:02:01.280
that ideology that we've heard from any major Democrat who's not named Bernie Sanders.
00:02:05.720
So here's the video put out by Kamala Harris on Sunday. Listen to this.
00:02:09.460
So there's a big difference between equality and equity. Equality suggests, oh, everyone should
00:02:15.120
get the same amount. The problem with that, not everybody's starting out from the same place.
00:02:20.800
So if we're all getting the same amount, but you started out back there and I started out over here,
00:02:25.760
we could get the same amount, but you're still going to be that far back behind me.
00:02:30.800
It's about giving people the resources and the support they need so that everyone can be on equal
00:02:38.400
footing and then compete on equal footing. Equitable treatment means we all end up at the same place.
00:02:57.680
Okay. A lot of problems here. I mean, let's start with the slightly less significant one, which is what
00:03:02.960
was up with the background noise here. Was that like running water? Sounded like a running water
00:03:07.680
sound effect, like a stream or something. Were we supposed to imagine Kamala sitting by a stream
00:03:15.040
on a mountain side, imparting these teachings to her disciples? Is that the vibe they were going for?
00:03:20.960
Because it doesn't quite work. She definitely doesn't have the soothing voice necessary to be a
00:03:26.120
mountaintop guru. In fact, the voice and the message would be much more at home in a gender studies class,
00:03:31.340
maybe a workplace tolerance and diversity seminar or something like that. Um, so that didn't really
00:03:37.260
work, but more to the point. Harris says that equality is giving people the same amount,
00:03:43.340
but that's not good enough. She says, because some people are starting out ahead. And so when they
00:03:47.740
get the same amount, they're going to still be ahead of those, uh, who, who started out behind them.
00:03:54.380
So what we need, she says is equity, which means we all start at the same place and end at the same
00:04:00.780
place. And I think that basically summarizes her argument fairly. I think now let's run through all
00:04:07.180
the reasons why this is a horrifying combination of stupid, incoherent, dishonest, and dangerous.
00:04:12.300
Number one, equality does not mean that we all get the same amount. That's not, that's not what
00:04:18.140
equality is legally or in any other sense. Equality under the law, which is the only kind of equality that
00:04:25.100
the government should be concerned with means that we're all subject to the same laws and that the
00:04:30.780
law does not explicitly give advantages or disadvantages to anybody, which means, for example,
00:04:37.180
affirmative action, those laws infringe on equality under the law. They are a direct assault on equality
00:04:43.420
under the law by design, but that's what equality under the law is supposed to mean. And that's what we
00:04:49.500
should have in this country, though we don't. Equality as it relates to human beings and societies
00:04:56.140
more generally, though, doesn't and cannot exist in any other form. Human beings are not in any
00:05:03.020
measurable or quantifiable sense actually equal. We should be treated equal under the law, but as far
00:05:09.740
as what and who we actually are, there's no equality there. Equality means sameness. I'm not the same as
00:05:16.140
anyone else on earth. I have a different personality, background, experience. I'm either going to be
00:05:21.260
dumber, smarter, more hardworking, less hardworking, more virtuous, less virtuous than the next guy.
00:05:26.700
None of us are equal. The type of equity Harris talks about assumes that we are all equal. We're all
00:05:33.020
the same. It doesn't account for any differences in personality, character, intelligence, priority,
00:05:38.540
virtue. It just assumes that we're all, at heart, exactly the same. And crucially, that we're all
00:05:44.940
trying to go to the same place. In her vision of the world, everybody wants to climb to the
00:05:49.580
same mountaintop, to the same elevation, and the same exact destination. She can't understand that
00:05:55.820
everyone has their own mountaintops, and not everyone is trying to get to the top, or people
00:06:00.940
have a different idea of what the top is for them. And this confusion comes up quite a bit, I think,
00:06:06.460
especially with discussions of the wage gap. The wage gap is mostly a myth, of course, but whatever wage
00:06:11.420
disparity does exist between genders, it's because women and men make different choices in their
00:06:17.420
careers. They have different priorities. Women, for example, are more likely to choose jobs that
00:06:22.540
give them more time at home. They're more likely to leave the workforce entirely to raise children.
00:06:27.900
Harris sees this as a problem of equity. What she can't understand is that lots of women
00:06:32.620
make that choice because that's the kind of life they want to live. That's their priority,
00:06:38.300
their vision, their desire, their mountaintop. It's not the same as everybody else. Number two,
00:06:44.620
what does she mean by get the same amount? Same amount of what? And who is giving it?
00:06:51.500
This isn't being pedantic here. It's a serious question. I honestly have no idea what this thing
00:06:56.700
is that we're all getting and who's giving it. What does she mean? Money? Skill? IQ points? What are we
00:07:01.980
talking about here? But of course, the vagueness is the point. Harris can just shout,
00:07:06.700
we should all get the same amount. And undiscerning listeners will cheer, yes,
00:07:10.940
sounds great, the same amount, without anybody stopping to ask, wait a second, same amount of what?
00:07:19.020
Number three, bringing us to the most terrifying part of the clip, I think, she says equitable
00:07:23.900
treatment means we all end up at the same place. This is what's known as equality of outcome.
00:07:31.100
Equality of opportunity is usually what politicians talk about, even though that phrase and that concept
00:07:35.900
is also vague and impossible to achieve or even to define. But that's one thing. Equality of outcome
00:07:42.300
is another thing entirely. Equality of opportunity in theory means that you clear the path and let
00:07:49.820
people walk as far down it as they want. Equality of outcome means you set booby traps on the path to
00:07:55.580
stop some people from walking too far down it. And then you take other people and you carry them further
00:08:00.460
along it so that at the end, we're all bunched up, some of us bruised and bleeding on the same spot,
00:08:06.700
on the same path. And who chooses what that spot should be? Who decides what our universal outcome
00:08:13.260
ought to be? Who decides where we should all end up? Well, the government, of course, Kamala Harris.
00:08:18.780
She'll be happy to decide. And as the decider, that means that she is not herself in the same place.
00:08:24.300
She's further along. She has power. So everyone else should end up in the same place, but not her.
00:08:31.500
She needs to be further along so that she can turn around and decide where the rest of us are allowed
00:08:36.060
to go, how far we're allowed to go. So this is full-blown Marxism. And to understand how disturbed
00:08:42.380
you should be by it, just imagine what would be required for the government to ensure that 330 million
00:08:49.260
people all end up in the same place. Well, you don't have to imagine. Look elsewhere in the world
00:08:55.500
and throughout history where this experiment has been tried. You will find tyranny and death. Because
00:09:00.300
tyranny and death, these are a necessary mechanism, a vehicle for what Kamala Harris is talking about.
00:09:07.820
You cannot create equality of outcome without removing self-determination, freedom, liberty,
00:09:12.620
creativity, everything else that makes humans human and life worth living. See, the thing is,
00:09:17.660
governments really cannot force people to be more successful than their desire, ambition,
00:09:23.420
and skill level will take them. Government cannot create equity through positive enforcement.
00:09:30.540
The only way it can do it is to do the one thing governments can do, which is punish, censor, stifle,
00:09:37.020
kill. Governments cannot force people to be successful. They can, though, steal the fruits of success
00:09:42.780
from the successful and chop them back down to size. This is within the logistical capabilities
00:09:48.620
of the government, even if it's not within its moral or constitutional limits. So that's what this
00:09:54.460
equity will mean. That's what it always means. Punishment and suppression. That's the future the
00:10:01.500
Democrats envision. Now voters have to decide if it's what they want as well. Let's get to our five headlines.
00:10:09.100
Well, you know, I can't recommend MyPillow enough. And, you know, we just moved, as you know, we moved
00:10:20.380
out here to Nashville and we're staying at a rental right now. We're looking for a house.
00:10:24.860
And, you know, we got a lot of stuff in storage. We had to decide. We had the moving truck packing up
00:10:30.060
most of our house, taking it to storage. And then there's certain items that we could bring with us in
00:10:34.620
our car as we made the 12 hour trip out here. And one thing that we, that we, my wife and I both
00:10:39.900
says, we need to make sure we bring the MyPillows. And we brought those. And so that's one little slice
00:10:43.900
of home that we have, you know, at the rental place. So, because I, here's the thing, when you
00:10:49.500
get a MyPillow or any of their products, but especially the pillow itself, once you've, once
00:10:55.260
you've used it, you, you can't, you need it. So everywhere you go, you have to bring it because
00:10:59.020
you, once you've, once you've slept on the MyPillow, it's like everything else. You see how,
00:11:04.860
uh, just how insufficient it really is. Mike Lindell is the inventor of MyPillow. Mike's
00:11:10.300
latest is on, latest deals on his Giza Dream Sheets, which are made from the world's best
00:11:15.500
cotton, uh, Giza cotton. They're ultra soft, breathable, extremely durable. This is another
00:11:21.020
necessity. It was easy to pack the sheets up in the car. Pillows are a little bit bulkier,
00:11:24.960
but we had to bring those right now. The Giza Dream Sheets are at, um, a two for one low price
00:11:29.600
plus free shipping, but you got to use a promo code daily wire. That should be easy to remember.
00:11:34.480
Uh, all the MyPillow products come with a 60 day money back guarantee. You've just got to try this
00:11:38.900
stuff. That's all. You know, you hear about MyPillow all the time. You just got to try it. Give it a
00:11:42.320
shot. I guarantee you it'll become a, an addiction that you need it in order to sleep. Just go to

00:12:04.380
radio specials. Again, that's MyPillow.com. All right. Number one, Wolf Blitzer of CNN posted this
00:12:09.880
video of shops in DC. You can see it here. Uh, I don't know if he took it or someone else did,
00:12:14.100
but shops in DC being boarded up in anticipation of unrest as the media will call it. Uh, mostly
00:12:20.800
peaceful unrest. I'm sure on election. It's, it's, it's strange how these mostly peaceful
00:12:25.660
protesters, you know, even though they're mostly peaceful, you still have to board up your windows
00:12:30.160
when they come by. We're strange how that works. I don't know. Um, and then Wolf Blitzer says,
00:12:35.040
I never thought I'd see so many buildings here in this nation in the nation's Capitol boarded up on
00:12:39.120
the eve of a presidential election in anticipation of possible unrest. And it's not just in DC. It's
00:12:44.080
happening in New York, Los Angeles, elsewhere around the country. So sad. I agree that it's sad,
00:12:50.180
Wolf, but you never thought you'd see it. Well, talk to your friends over at CNN and also yourself.
00:12:57.100
I mean, you know, it's, it's strange when you've got, it's weird how this works, right? When you've
00:13:01.040
already got, um, leftist radicals who are inclined to, towards rioting and violence, and then you go
00:13:08.880
and tell them that the president is literally Hitler and he's trying to abolish democracy. And if he's
00:13:14.740
reelected, it'll be the last election. We're all going to be living in handmaid's tale after this.
00:13:18.900
Um, and, and, uh, when you tell them people that who are already inclined to violence,
00:13:24.280
yeah, who, who could have predicted this result? Who could have possibly ever predicted it?
00:13:30.120
Right. Number two, I thought this was pretty big news here. Uh, a tweet from Joe Biden. He says,
00:13:34.780
I'm not going to shut down the country. I'm not going to shut down the economy.
00:13:39.000
I'm going to shut down the virus. That's what he claims, which is pretty amazing.
00:13:45.380
He's going to shut down the virus. It's that simple, that easy. From what I hear, there's a,
00:13:51.200
there's a big red button in the white house that's labeled shut down virus in all caps.
00:13:58.000
All you have to do is push it, shut down the virus. Really? Donald Trump has not thought to push it
00:14:03.620
or refuses to push it. I don't know. So we need Joe to get in there and say, Hey guys,
00:14:08.560
uh, why don't we just push to, why don't we just get rid of the virus? Have you guys thought about
00:14:12.220
doing that? No one thought of it? Well, Hey, just press the button. It's gone. Of course,
00:14:16.700
in reality though, uh, Biden will not shut down the virus, uh, because you can't just shut down a
00:14:21.720
virus. It's not how viruses work. He will do the opposite really of what he just said there.
00:14:26.100
So you can effectively shut down the economy and effectively shut down the country. You can do
00:14:31.200
that, which is what he will do. Should he be, um, reelected. Meanwhile, in more coronavirus news,
00:14:38.280
the governor of Michigan continues to find new ways to defile the constitution. She's very creative.
00:14:43.560
You got to give her that. Um, here's the latest. This is from Fox 17 in Michigan. Listen to their
00:14:47.920
report. The state now says in order to help with COVID contact tracing, starting Monday,
00:14:53.540
bars and restaurants will need to start collecting names and phone numbers of all patrons. But some
00:14:59.680
say it's just another way to single out the industry with no real proof that they are the
00:15:03.580
problem at a time when their capacity is already at 50%. Again, what's this data gathering? If the
00:15:10.180
data is not truthful or what it is, how do we know how good it is? Scott Ellis is the executive
00:15:14.400
director of the Michigan Licensed Beverage Association, a group that worked with the state
00:15:18.780
on the new guidelines. But he says that does not always mean the two sides agree. He also
00:15:23.520
adds it's not appropriate to pin COVID increases on restaurants and bars. Our frontline servers
00:15:29.400
have already had troubles now dealing with masks and mandating people wearing masks. We went through
00:15:34.400
all that. We did, you know, we did deescalation training and all kinds of other things to help
00:15:38.380
with that. Now we're taking it to a next level where we have to gather someone's personal
00:15:41.460
information. According to a new order put out Thursday, the state will require all restaurants
00:15:46.080
and bars that offer dine-in food service to maintain accurate records of names and phone numbers
00:15:51.020
of people who eat on site along with the date and time they walked in. We just told them,
00:15:55.900
look, get name, phone number, write it on a piece of paper because if the health department calls you
00:16:00.180
and says, hey, so-and-so came in on this, or someone came in on this date, I need the lift.
00:16:04.460
They have to provide it. If customers do not want to give that information,
00:16:07.700
they can be refused service. I know this is treated as a sort of an irrelevant detail these days,
00:16:12.940
but they don't have the authority to do this. Where is their authority to do this?
00:16:17.760
Where do they derive the authority to declare that if you want to go out to eat, you have to
00:16:22.280
give your contact information to the restaurant who will then pass it along to the government?
00:16:29.260
Where does the state government derive the authority to say, if you want to go out to eat
00:16:33.500
in our state, we have to know exactly who you are and we need your personal information?
00:16:38.220
Well, they don't, of course. But this is the health department. The health department in
00:16:41.820
Michigan has declared that they're going to do this now. And so what we've discovered over the
00:16:46.440
last six, seven months is that state health departments are governing bodies who have,
00:16:54.300
the scope of their power is limitless. They can, there is nowhere their power cannot touch.
00:17:02.560
We know the health department in California has already decided if you want to have people over to
00:17:07.720
your own house, your own family members to your own house, they could tell you how many
00:17:11.820
family members, they could tell you, uh, where on your house, where on your property, you can meet
00:17:16.340
them for how long you can meet, what you're allowed to do when you're with them, how close you can get
00:17:22.520
to them all on your own property. And this is the state health department, just unelected bureaucrats
00:17:28.700
in the state health department, simply declaring, this is what it's going to be now. Number three,
00:17:33.800
an article on study finds.org says, as if the coronavirus pandemic wasn't giving Americans enough
00:17:39.600
anxiety already, you may have heard there's a presidential election this November with political
00:17:44.120
divisions reaching historic highs. A survey finds a majority of the country believe their most
00:17:47.820
stressful day of 2020 hasn't even arrived yet. The poll examining mental health reveals 55% of
00:17:53.640
Americans think election day 2020 will be the most stress-filled day of their lives. The one poll survey
00:18:01.180
examined the current mental health of 2000 adults focusing on the stress caused by COVID-19. Nearly six
00:18:06.760
to 10 people can't imagine being more stressed than they already are this year, while 67% want the
00:18:12.180
year to be over now. My God, stop whining, you babies. First of all, I just want the year to be over now.
00:18:22.340
Um, second, this, this dovetails nicely with what we've discussed on the show on Friday. Uh, people
00:18:28.920
acting like their very lives depend on the outcome of a presidential election, like certain doom or utopia
00:18:35.440
awaits, depending on which dude is in the white house for the next four years. Uh, and as I, as I
00:18:40.540
said, of course, elections are very important. We've been talking, I talk about that all the time on the
00:18:44.340
show. Very important. Um, but I will just say if, if the most stressful day of your life
00:18:51.920
is a presidential election, what that tells me is that you have lived one hell of an easy and probably
00:18:59.460
pretty boring life. I mean, the average human existence, there should be things happening in
00:19:05.500
your own life that create a hell of a lot more stress than a presidential election does.
00:19:12.160
I mean, I'll give you one example, because I don't think for me, this would even make the top 100
00:19:16.980
because for example, uh, every time I go out to eat at a restaurant with four kids, that's more
00:19:24.160
stressful than Tuesday is going to be that alone. Every single one of those, that, that all
00:19:28.400
is going to be above the presidential election on the scale of stress. Uh, number four, Ilhan Omar
00:19:33.960
was doing a town hall with Mazie Hirono. So you expect stupidity, of course, you expect the stupidity
00:19:39.240
level to be turned up to about a hundred. And in this case, your expectations would be met and
00:19:44.160
exceeded. Here's what Ilhan Omar had to say. So of our three branches, um, the, the, the judiciary
00:19:52.900
or in the Supreme court has one of the lowest approval ratings with, um, the, the United States
00:20:01.180
electorate. And I think it's like a 10% approval rating. Um, and I wonder, um, what this process
00:20:14.780
does to, um, um, a system that we need to function and to have legitimacy, um, that is now going to
00:20:26.740
have someone be part of it. Who's not seen as a legitimate appointee. Um, certainly with the way
00:20:35.360
that the process went with, with, you know, the vote being so partisan, um, what, what does it mean,
00:20:43.460
uh, for, you know, the, the future history of the court. Let me just jump in here, Ilhan, and answer
00:20:49.820
that question for you. Number one, the phrase future history of the court doesn't make sense.
00:20:56.820
Just to note. Number two, um, the process was not at all illegitimate. It was completely legitimate,
00:21:02.980
completely legal, completely normal. And you know that of course, which is why you can't explain
00:21:10.140
why it was illegitimate. You just feel like it was number three. Uh, yes, the vote was partisan because
00:21:17.540
every Democrat announced their decision ahead of time before the hearings even started to, to vote
00:21:25.680
against, uh, the nominee, which is the same thing they did with Kavanaugh, the same thing they did with
00:21:30.200
Gorsuch. So yes, it was a partisan vote for the Supreme court. Imagine that first one in history,
00:21:35.620
right? Um, what else? Number four, the approval rating of the Supreme court is not 10%. So you just
00:21:42.320
made that up. It's actually 58%. Congress, which is your branch of government is the least popular,
00:21:48.540
uh, uh, branch of government. And that approval rating, I think is at about 18%. It's less than 20
00:21:54.480
and a lot less than Supreme court approval rating. Number five though, the approval rating of the
00:21:59.360
Supreme court doesn't matter anyway. I don't care if it's 2%.
00:22:02.540
The, the, the opinions of the American public shouldn't factor in the Supreme court's decisions
00:22:12.000
at all. If 100% of people in America decided that, um, they wanted a certain decision to go a certain
00:22:21.060
way. That should have zero impact on what the Supreme court actually does. The only thing that
00:22:26.460
should matter to the Supreme court is what the constitution says. That's it because that's their
00:22:31.040
whole job to interpret the constitution. Number five, and the McRib is back nationwide for the first
00:22:38.200
time since 2012, uh, starting December 2nd, it'll be on McDonald's menus across the country.
00:22:44.640
Nobody can figure out why exactly though. Nobody can explain to me why the McRib may well be the
00:22:50.260
greatest fraud ever perpetrated on the American public. It might be, it is literal dog food that
00:22:58.500
people will wait in line to eat. In fact, it's worse than that. At least dog food is real neat
00:23:05.060
and it has some kind of nutritional value. Like you could, here's my tip to you. This is all I'll say
00:23:10.480
when it, when the McRib comes back on December 2nd and you think, Oh, I want to go get a McRib
00:23:14.640
because you're a, you're psychotic. Uh, and you get there and there's a one hour long line at the
00:23:19.020
drive-thru. What I would recommend is, uh, leave McDonald's, just swing by the, your local PetSmart
00:23:25.200
and grab any dog food off the shelf, smother it in, you know, store-bought barbecue sauce. And there
00:23:31.900
you go. There's the McRib sandwich. Um, and like I said, even, even better for you, more nutritional
00:23:37.780
value, I would say. All right. So the McRib sandwiches of course canceled, but let's get to
00:23:42.380
the real daily cancellation now. Today for our daily cancellation, we have another exciting double
00:23:47.240
cancellation. I'll be canceling two different people for seemingly unrelated offenses, but I have
00:23:51.420
to cancel them both today because these cancellations are related to the elections. I have
00:23:54.760
to, I'd have to get them in now while I still can. So I'm doubling up. Um, first up on the docket is
00:23:59.500
Lady Gaga. I'm not entirely sure what she was trying to do here, but I think the goal was to appeal to
00:24:05.760
normal working class Americans and encourage them to vote for Biden. But her impression of normal
00:24:11.140
working class Americans needs a lot of work. Watch.
00:24:18.660
Hey, this is Lady Gaga. I'm voting for America, which means I'm voting for Joe Biden. And if you
00:24:27.960
live in Minnesota, Pennsylvania, Georgia, Michigan, Florida, or Arizona, I encourage you to vote. And if
00:24:36.320
you have a friend that lives there, tell them to vote. I'm going to be in one of these states
00:24:41.160
tomorrow. Guess which one I'll be in. Hint. I used to live there.
00:24:53.200
Wow. Okay. First of all, this woman was nominated for an Oscar for best actress. Keep in mind. Yet
00:25:01.340
that's how she performs the role of normal human. It is not convincing to say the least. She's
00:25:07.780
leaning on a pickup truck, wearing some kind of camo Halloween costume with what appear to be ski
00:25:13.440
boots. And all of that would be bad enough. The cringe level was already turned up almost to the
00:25:18.500
max. But then at the end there, she takes one sip of her beer, tosses it on the ground and says,
00:25:24.640
cheers. That is not, no, that's not what people do, Lady Gaga. Take it from somebody who lived in
00:25:33.720
rural Pennsylvania until a week ago. Okay. If you go to like a barbecue or a party in Pennsylvania
00:25:39.520
and somebody hands you a cold one and you take one sip and throw it on the ground and say, cheers,
00:25:46.080
you may get a number of different reactions, but none of them will be, wow, this woman is just like us.
00:25:51.480
So relatable. Probably the reaction would just be, wait, why, why did you do that? If you didn't
00:25:58.360
want a beer, you could have just told me. I mean, who are you? Stone Cold Steve Austin? What the hell?
00:26:03.120
And then you would never be invited to another barbecue again. That's probably how that would go.
00:26:07.620
Now I'm wondering if maybe Lady Gaga always does this when, when someone offers a toast,
00:26:15.200
maybe she thinks that's what a toast is. That's what you're supposed to do when people say cheers.
00:26:19.200
She's at an anniversary party or something. And someone says, let's offer a toast to the happy
00:26:22.900
couple. And Lady Gaga just picks up her glass of champagne and chucks it across the room. I don't
00:26:27.560
know, but this is further proof of proof of two things. Number one, the people who make art and
00:26:32.700
entertainment for us in this country, make art and entertainment for the masses have no idea who the
00:26:39.120
masses actually are, what they like and how they act. And that's obvious just based on the content they
00:26:45.380
put out. We don't even need this video for that. Number two, this is the danger of being a rich
00:26:49.740
person surrounded by yes men. You know, apparently nobody in Lady Gaga's orbit had the gumption to
00:26:54.920
stand up and say, uh, Ms. Gaga, I, I wouldn't put this video out. It is, um, the thing is it's the
00:27:00.540
dumbest thing anyone's ever done and everyone will laugh at you. So don't do this. Unless alternatively,
00:27:07.180
maybe there's some noble hero in Lady Gaga's inner circle who likes to mess with her by putting these
00:27:12.900
ideas in her head. Like, Hey, you know what normal, normal folks do? They throw their beer on the
00:27:16.840
ground. You should totally do a video like that. They'll love it. Put it out there. I imagine this
00:27:21.340
person, if they exist, was also responsible for Lady Gaga wearing a giant slab of beef to the VMAs a
00:27:27.660
few years ago. So this person I've just invented is pretty awesome. They're not canceled. Lady Gaga is
00:27:34.060
now onto the next one. I haven't in, in recent days, um, canceled both dancing and I voted selfies.
00:27:43.700
I've made the rules very clear. You may not dance. You may not take photos of yourself with your I
00:27:49.000
voted sticker. Very simple. I don't see why these rules would be difficult to follow. And yet time
00:27:54.280
and again, I find that the world somehow does not stop doing things when I tell it to. This fact
00:28:00.320
causes me great distress, especially when it's one of my own colleagues defying me in this way.
00:28:06.620
And that's why Michael Knowles is canceled because of this.
00:28:12.900
Yes, there he is dancing while he casts his ballot with an I voted sticker, unconscionable behavior.
00:28:35.020
The only thing that would have made that worse if he had his like a dog named emoji with him.
00:28:41.240
You know, here's the thing. I, I have not really worked closely in person with other people in
00:28:47.600
years. I've been deep down in my layer, like Joe, Joe Biden closed off from the world. People ask me
00:28:53.120
what it will be like now that I moved to Nashville and I'm going to be working in an office with other
00:28:57.480
people. And the answer is that it'll be fine. Just as long as nobody ever does anything that I don't
00:29:02.820
want them to do. I'm very good at working with people. I think I'm a very relatable and likable
00:29:07.380
guy. Uh, you know, I, I'm easy to get along with provided that everything goes my way 100% of the
00:29:13.260
time and everybody follows every arbitrary rule I happen to concoct in my head. So in that way,
00:29:19.180
I'm not much different from any other millennial, I guess, but this behavior from Knowles makes me
00:29:25.300
concerned that I have emerged from my layer into a world that will not necessarily bend itself to my
00:29:31.260
wind. The shock of that discovery for me is gut wrenching. So Knowles is canceled and anyone else
00:29:39.400
who should fail to follow the commandments as I set them down is also canceled. And if I have to just
00:29:46.420
keep canceling the same people over and over again, if that's what I have to do, then that's what is
00:29:50.740
going to happen. That's going to do it for us today. Um, voting tomorrow, make sure you go and do that
00:29:59.020
if you're informed. And as long as you're not dancing along the way, I'll talk to you then. Godspeed.
