The Matt Walsh Show - Ep. 607 - What Leftists Mean When They Say 'Unity'

00:00:00.000 Today on the Matt Wall Show, a New York Times writer says he's given up on reaching out to

00:00:04.380 Trump voters after all of his outreach efforts have failed. But we can learn something important

00:00:09.160 about the leftist mentality from the way he went about this supposed outreach. So we'll talk about

00:00:14.660 that today. Also, five headlines, including a press conference held by Trump's lawyers

00:00:17.680 laying out their voter fraud claims, some of them quite extraordinary. Tucker Carlson says that

00:00:23.340 one of Trump's lawyers, Sidney Powell, has refused to provide any of the evidence she

00:00:27.940 claims to have. So we'll try to make sense of all that today. And in our daily cancellation,

00:00:31.900 New York Magazine produces, honestly, one of the most racist videos you will ever see in your life.

00:00:38.200 Probably the most racist video you'll ever see on YouTube. And it is allowed on YouTube. We're

00:00:42.840 going to play that today. And of course, everyone involved in that will be canceled. First, I want

00:00:46.160 to tell you about one of our new sponsors on the show. We're very excited about Relief Band.

00:00:50.020 You know, if you have the experience of car sickness, in particular, motion sickness,

00:00:55.940 which is something that I deal with. If I'm driving, then I'm okay. But, you know, taking

00:01:00.280 Uber, I do, I Uber a lot, especially now that I live in the city. And so I get, I get bad motion

00:01:06.080 sickness in the car. And to the point where, you know, I've, I've had a few times where I've,

00:01:10.940 it's like a 30 minute ride and I'm, I'm almost at the point of having to ask them to pull over so I

00:01:15.520 can puke. And that would be very embarrassing. And so I'm always looking for solutions. And I found one

00:01:20.080 here. It's called Relief Band. So I'm very excited about our new partner. Relief Band is the number

00:01:24.240 one FDA cleared anti-nausea wristband that has been clinically proven to relieve nausea and vomiting

00:01:29.440 associated with motion sickness, morning sickness, chemotherapy, anxiety, hangovers, migraines,

00:01:33.900 and so much more. The product is 100% drug-free, non-drowsy, fast acting, and provides all natural

00:01:39.700 relief with zero side effects. And it really does work. And the fact that you don't get drowsy is,

00:01:46.140 is, is, is important too, because they've got some, you know, some medicine you could take.

00:01:50.140 Um, but it's going to, it's going to, for me, it's going to knock you out. And, uh, you might

00:01:55.340 not be in a position where you can afford to go to sleep for three hours. How it works is Relief

00:01:59.920 Band stimulates a nerve in the wrist that travels to the part of the brain that controls nausea.

00:02:04.380 Then it blocks the signal in your brain that's, that's your brain ascending to your stomach,

00:02:08.880 telling you that you're sick. Um, Relief Band is the only over-the-counter wearable device

00:02:14.180 that has been used in hospitals and oncology clinics to treat nausea and vomiting. And if you know

00:02:18.780 someone who deals with nausea, then I would recommend Relief Band. My, um, daughter also

00:02:23.040 is, uh, she has inherited this from me. Uh, she's very grateful to have inherited my emotion sickness,

00:02:28.100 uh, aptitude. And so I've given this to her as well, and it works great. This holiday season,

00:02:34.280 help someone reclaim their life from the fear of nausea. Right now, Relief Band has an exclusive

00:02:38.100 offer just for Matt Walsh listeners. If you go to reliefband.com and use promo code Walsh,

00:02:53.560 Well, ever since the media declared Joe Biden the winner of the 2020 election, uh, the left has

00:02:58.400 wanted those of us on the right to understand two things. First, that they desperately wish to heal

00:03:04.300 our national wounds and unite with us as one people. And also that we are vile, subhuman,

00:03:10.460 and barely sentient redneck scum. Now these two messages would seem to be in tension with each 1.00

00:03:16.400 other, but it may only appear to me, it may only, it may only appear that way to me because I myself 0.97

00:03:21.800 am barely sentient redneck scum. I don't know. Credit where it's due, New York Times op-ed writer 0.97

00:03:27.020 Wajahat Ali has found a way to merge these two apparently conflicting messages in a, in a piece

00:03:34.920 for the Times that provides, I think, an extraordinarily clarifying look into the elitist

00:03:40.120 left-wing mentality. Ali describes his attempts to reach out to Trump supporters and explained

00:03:46.640 why he's now given up the effort. I think it may be useful, um, before examining the article though,

00:03:53.380 to review one of Ali's outreach efforts on CNN earlier in the year. This is a segment with Don

00:03:59.860 Lemon and Never Trump guru Rick Wilson. Maybe you saw this a few months ago, but Ali performs his

00:04:05.720 rather poor impression of a blue collar conservative, mocking them for not knowing how to spell or read

00:04:11.460 a map. This again is the guy who's trying to reach out to conservative voters, but here he is on Don

00:04:16.140 Lemon's show. Watch this. He also knows deep in his heart that Donald Trump couldn't find Ukraine on a

00:04:21.360 map if you had the letter U and a picture of an actual physical crane next to it. He knows that this

00:04:26.960 is, you know, an, an, an administration defined by ignorance of the world. And so that's partly

00:04:32.820 him playing to their base and playing to their audience. Uh, you know, the, the, the credulous

00:04:37.820 boomer Rube demo that backs Donald Trump, um, that, that wants to think that, that, that Donald Trump's

00:04:43.980 a smart one in there. Oh, y'all, y'all elitist are dumb. You, you elitist with your geography and your maps 1.00

00:04:50.720 and your spelling, even though my math and you're reading, yeah, you're reading, you know, your

00:04:57.380 geography, no one, other countries, sipping your latte, all those lines on the map.

00:05:05.580 Only them elitist know where Ukraine is.

00:05:10.020 Sorry. I apologize.

00:05:11.580 Yes. Some flaws in his outreach strategy may already be obvious. I don't know,

00:05:16.780 but the times piece sheds even more light on it. Ali, uh, begins, this is what he says.

00:05:22.820 73 million Americans voted for Donald Trump. He doubled down on all his worst vices and he was

00:05:27.960 rewarded for it with 10 million more votes than he received in 2016. The majority of people of color

00:05:32.820 rejected his cruelty and vulgarity, but along with others who voted for Joe Biden, we are now being

00:05:37.080 lectured by a chorus of voices, including Pete Buttigieg and Ian Bremmer to reach out to Trump voters and

00:05:43.100 empathize with their pain. This is the same advice that was given after Trump's 2016 victory.

00:05:48.740 And for nearly four years, I attempted to take it. Believe me, it's not worth it.

00:05:54.500 Then, uh, he explains that his Islamic faith calls him to quote, repel evil with good.

00:06:01.840 And, uh, he said that, you know, because of that, he tried to find common ground with Trump supporters.

00:06:06.640 Now on second thought, perhaps labeling them evil that needs to be repelled may not have been a good

00:06:12.360 starting point for this project. I don't know, but here's how he went about it. Pay attention to this.

00:06:18.180 This is what he did. So in late 2016, I told my speaking agency to book me for events in the

00:06:23.900 states where Trump won. I wanted to talk to the people the media calls real Americans from the

00:06:28.760 heartland, which is of course America's synonym for white people. Trump's most fervent fan base.

00:06:34.440 Uh, over the next four years, I gave more than a dozen talks to universities, companies, and

00:06:39.860 a variety of faith-based communities. My standard speech was about how to build a multicultural

00:06:45.540 coalition of the willing. My message was that diverse communities, including white Trump supporters,

00:06:50.160 could work together to create a future where all of our children would have an equal shot at the

00:06:54.540 American dream. Okay. So for Ali reaching out means delivering lectures on multiculturalism.

00:07:01.520 This is what empathizing looks like in his world. Namely, it looks like a bunch of people

00:07:06.500 sitting in chairs, listening obediently while he explains things to them. And how did he know that

00:07:13.600 his outreach efforts failed? Well, here he is explaining that. He says, those in the audience

00:07:19.200 who supported Trump came up to me and assured me they weren't racist. They often said they enjoyed the

00:07:24.200 talk, if not my politics. Still, not one told me they'd wavered in their support for him. Instead,

00:07:30.340 they repeated conspiracy theories and Fox News talking points about crooked Hillary.

00:07:35.460 All right. So the audience listened politely with an open mind. You know, credit to them.

00:07:43.140 That, that's, that's better than I would do if I was sitting listening to this guy talk about

00:07:46.500 multiculturalism. I don't think I would be sitting politely with an open mind, 1.00

00:07:49.460 uh, nor would I enjoy the talk. But Ali was shocked and appalled to discover

00:07:54.140 that at the end of his presentation, they still held their own opinions rather than holding his

00:08:00.500 opinions. And if this wasn't bad enough, Ali shares that, you know, he spent a whole hour and

00:08:05.540 a half in a car with a Trump supporter. And even after that, after the dumb rube had been exposed to 0.98

00:08:12.520 Ali's brilliance in such close quarters for that long, he still wouldn't change his worldview. If you 0.98

00:08:17.440 could believe it, he says in Ohio, I spent 90 minutes on a drive to the airport with a retired

00:08:22.380 Trump supporter. We were cordial to each other. We made jokes and we shared stories about our

00:08:27.160 families, but neither of us changed our outlook. They'll never take my guns ever. He told me

00:08:32.820 explaining that his Facebook feed was filled with articles about how Clinton and Democrats

00:08:36.720 would kill the second amendment and steal his guns. Well, yeah, although he didn't like some of

00:08:41.960 Trump's tone and comments, he didn't believe that Trump was racist in his heart. You heard that

00:08:47.640 right. A retired man refused to alter his deepest convictions based on a 90 minute conversation

00:08:55.020 with a New York times op-ed writer. Some people are just hopelessly stubborn, I suppose. Ali then

00:09:02.720 concludes on a note that is, uh, that is as self-pitying as it is self-aggrandizing. He says,

00:09:07.980 we cannot help people who refuse to help themselves. Trump is an extension of their id,

00:09:13.440 their culture, their values, their greed. He is their defender and savior. He is their blunt

00:09:19.760 instrument. He is their destructive drug of choice. Don't waste your time reaching out to Trump voters

00:09:25.380 like I did. Just as in 2016, I don't need Trump supporters to be humiliated to feel great again.

00:09:30.940 I want them to have health insurance, decent paying jobs and security for their family.

00:09:34.200 I don't want them to suffer, but I also refuse to spend any more time trying to

00:09:37.580 understand and help the architects of my oppression. I will move forward along with the majority who

00:09:43.320 want progress, equality, and justice for all Americans. If Trump supporters decide they want

00:09:47.620 the same, they can always reach out to me. They know where to find me ahead of them.

00:09:53.620 Now, call me crazy, but it seems unlikely that a retiree from Ohio could be the architect of anyone's 0.99

00:10:00.740 oppression, much less the oppression of a wealthy metropolitan media pundit.

00:10:04.440 But anything is possible in a mind clouded by its own sense of entitlement. And, you know,

00:10:12.140 we should be grateful for this opportunity to gaze into such a mind, as disorienting as the

00:10:16.900 experience may be, because it tells us something important about the unity which the left seeks.

00:10:22.460 As Ali makes clear again and again, he is only interested in uniting with those who will give up

00:10:28.480 their dirty habit of disagreeing with him. His idea of compromise is for the two sides to come

00:10:34.220 together and agree that he is right about everything. I think submission is a better word

00:10:41.020 for the relationship that he seeks and the relationship that much of the left seeks.

00:10:46.000 And we can hardly be blamed for declining the invitation. Now, let's get to our five headlines.

00:10:52.660 So Trump's team had a press conference yesterday where they laid out their voter fraud claims.

00:11:03.640 A lot of discussion in the media afterwards has been about the physical

00:11:08.440 spectacle of the press conference. Rudy Giuliani was very sweaty, apparently. He had hair dye dripping

00:11:19.460 down his face. And so that's been the big headline that that was even the headline on, on the drudge

00:11:25.820 report. But here's the thing, you know, that kind of thing, that's what you focus on. The fact that

00:11:32.180 he was sweating and maybe it was hot in the room. Okay. I can sweat too. So I'm not going to judge the

00:11:36.320 guy for that. And, you know, he's wearing a suit. That's what, this is one of the things as men,

00:11:41.160 this is a, this is a burden we carry. We have to wear suits, even no matter what the temperature is.

00:11:44.600 That's the only formal attire we're allowed to wear. So the fact that he's sweating or he had

00:11:49.620 hair dye, that's what you focus on if, if you're an idiot or if you're too afraid to talk about the 1.00

00:11:56.260 actual substance. And in the media, of course, I think it's sort of a bit of both. A lot of idiots 0.99

00:12:00.580 and a lot of people that are afraid to talk about the actual substance. As for the substance, 1.00

00:12:05.120 many different types of allegations were made. It was a, I think a 90 minute press conference.

00:12:10.320 Rudy in particular asked, I thought, a number of salient questions, brought up a number of

00:12:15.700 irregularities, we're calling them now that need to be investigated. And so that was sort of one,

00:12:21.840 one thing. And a lot of that I've been saying all along, some of the stuff that Rudy was talking

00:12:29.600 about, you know, these, these are, these are the things I think we should be focusing on. Also early

00:12:34.380 voting, mail-in voting, mass mail-in voting, late ballots coming in. I think these are the issues

00:12:41.900 that, that no matter what happens with the election, need to get our focus. And this is something that

00:12:47.740 again, no matter what happens, 2024, if Republicans don't resist this, if we, if, if this is what it's

00:12:55.220 going to be now, forget about voter fraud for a minute. But if we're just going to have mass mail-in

00:13:00.340 voting, early voting, you know, where you can vote any time for six months up to the election,

00:13:06.700 it's, it's going to be a total disaster. It's going to be what this has been every single damn

00:13:11.600 election cycle. Something for Republicans to keep in mind. So there's that part of it. Okay. 0.97

00:13:19.240 Now we could talk about that. And those to me are the sort of sober, not quite as dramatic

00:13:25.400 or exciting issues, but important. And then there's Sidney Powell who alleges no less than

00:13:34.460 the greatest crime in American history. I mean, this is an absolutely sensational claim that she's 0.82

00:13:42.020 making. Doesn't make it wrong. Doesn't mean, it doesn't mean it's untrue. Sometimes sensational,

00:13:47.000 extraordinary things are true. Oftentimes they're not. Sometimes they are. Well, we should just be

00:13:52.620 clear about what she's actually alleging here. If it's true, this is one of the most significant

00:13:58.480 things that has ever happened in the country. And it's also the utter destruction of our way of life,

00:14:04.540 of our democracy, our Republic. It's been totally destroyed. What she alleges is that, um, there was

00:14:11.500 a plan to rig the voting machines and to switch millions of votes from Trump to Biden. That's what

00:14:18.220 she says. Again, this is, this is separate from issues of poll watchers, not being allowed in

00:14:24.480 ballots being counted late, all that kind of stuff. There's an entirely different thing. And here's

00:14:29.520 what, and that's what she's saying. Uh, according to Powell, Trump, not only won, but won in a

00:14:34.880 landslide. I think she said, um, I don't want to misquote her, but I think she, she has, she has

00:14:39.060 said or speculated that he may have gotten like 80 million votes. Now I would say before we even look

00:14:47.200 at this, that, that doesn't seem plausible to me, take voter fraud out of the equation.

00:14:54.800 You know, modern America, I don't see Donald Trump getting 80 million votes. I don't see any

00:14:59.540 Republican ever getting 80 million votes. I could be wrong, but anyway, so she thinks Trump won in a

00:15:05.320 landslide and that the votes were switched and, um, and the machine is key. The machine was rigged.

00:15:09.880 Here she is talking about it. I'm talking about some massive straight lines up in the vote tallies

00:15:15.660 in the middle of the night after they've supposedly stopped counting. And that's when the Dominion

00:15:20.920 operators went in and injected votes and changed the whole system. And it affects votes around the

00:15:28.320 country, around the world, and all kinds of massive interests of globalist dictators, corporations,

00:15:37.300 you name it. Everybody's against us except President Trump and we the people of the United States.

00:15:44.560 We will not be intimidated. American patriots are fed up with the corruption from the local level

00:15:51.020 to the highest level of our government. And we are going to take this country back. We are not going to

00:15:58.340 be intimidated. We are not going to back down. We are going to clean this mess up now. President Trump won by a

00:16:06.240 landslide. We are going to prove it. And we are going to reclaim the United States of America for

00:16:11.540 the people who vote for freedom. So those are the claims. Um, we haven't seen evidence of those

00:16:18.460 claims. We haven't. She says she has the evidence. We haven't seen it. I mean, you have not seen it.

00:16:24.780 If you're watching this, I haven't seen it. And speaking of which, Tucker, Tucker Carlson gave last

00:16:30.780 night, uh, I thought a truly great monologue and I, you know, I would recommend watching after this show

00:16:36.840 and after you watch all the other daily wire shows, then you can go watch Tucker Carlson's monologue.

00:16:39.960 I thought it was really, it was, it was very good. It was, uh, honest and clarifying. Uh, I think probably

00:16:45.920 the most important monologue that anyone has delivered on cable news since the election, which maybe

00:16:51.840 is kind of a low bar, but still that's where I would put it. It was very, very good. And he said

00:16:56.780 that, um, Powell hasn't even, hasn't, hasn't, he contacted Powell's people, asked to see some

00:17:03.080 evidence of this so that he could, you know, talk about it. And she refused to give the evidence,

00:17:07.940 but also importantly, and this is the part I think we should focus on because a lot of the focus has

00:17:13.000 been on the claim Tucker made that Powell won't show him the evidence. More importantly, Tucker is

00:17:18.780 saying that Powell hasn't even showed the Trump camp her evidence. So here's a Tucker Carlson.

00:17:25.400 We took Sydney Powell seriously. We no intention of fighting with her. We've always respected her

00:17:30.080 work. We simply wanted to see the details. How could you not want to see them? So we invited

00:17:35.180 Sydney Powell on the show. We would have given her the whole hour. We would have given her the entire

00:17:38.960 week actually, and listened quietly the whole time at rap detention. That's a big story, but she never

00:17:46.320 sent us any evidence despite a lot of requests, polite requests, not a page. When we kept pressing,

00:17:52.340 she got angry and told us to stop contacting her. When we checked with others around the Trump

00:17:57.020 campaign, people in positions of authority, they told us Powell has never given them any evidence

00:18:01.500 either, nor did she provide any today at the press conference. Powell did say that electronic voting

00:18:07.040 is dangerous, and she's right. We're with her there. But she never demonstrated that a single

00:18:11.900 actual vote was moved illegitimately by software from one candidate to another, not one.

00:18:17.580 So why are we telling you this? We're telling you this because it's true. And in the end, that's all

00:18:24.640 that matters, the truth. It's our only hope. It's our best defense. And it's how we're different from

00:18:32.220 them. We care what's true, and we know you care too. That's why we told you. Maybe Sydney Powell will come

00:18:40.020 forward soon with details on exactly how this happened and precisely who did it. Maybe she will. We are

00:18:45.500 certainly hopeful that she will. What happened with the vote counting this month and at the polling

00:18:51.620 places in Detroit and the polling places in Philadelphia and so much else actually matters.

00:18:58.400 It matters no matter who you voted for. It matters whether or not you think this election is already

00:19:02.160 over. Until we know the answers to those questions conclusively and we can agree on them,

00:19:07.480 this country will not be united. Okay, now what this would mean is that Sydney Powell

00:19:11.700 is alleging she has evidence that she alone has evidence of the greatest crime in American history

00:19:17.340 and not one single soul on earth has seen it but her. That's the situation we're facing here. Now,

00:19:24.220 a few things, a few brief points I want to make. First of all, Tucker Carlson, whether you agree or

00:19:30.260 disagree with what he just said, I don't know how you could disagree with it. I mean, all he's saying is

00:19:34.540 we need evidence for sensational claims. What is there to disagree with? But even if you, whether

00:19:42.460 you do or don't, the fact is he's getting a hell of a blowback from his audience because of this.

00:19:47.060 He knew that he would get blowback from his audience. And I just want to be very clear about

00:19:51.480 something here because I'm seeing some of the claims on social media and Twitter and people say,

00:19:56.180 oh, Tucker sold out. He's sold out. He's a grifter. No, no, no. Tucker Carlson is not a sellout

00:20:03.240 and he's not a grifter. This is not how selling out works. This is not how grifting works. Let me,

00:20:08.340 let me tell you how selling out and grifting works from the perspective of a conservative

00:20:13.080 in the media, which of which I am one. A sellout and a grifter in conservative media is someone who

00:20:22.420 will never say anything that will upset their own audience. That's someone who always tells his

00:20:29.500 audience everything the audience wants to hear and already thinks. Pandering is another word for it.

00:20:35.080 A sellout, a grifter is someone in conservative media or, you know, or, or any media for their

00:20:39.640 own audience who will never upset their own audience. If somebody is going on in front of

00:20:44.340 their audience and saying something that they know their audience will not want to hear,

00:20:48.580 and that may hurt their ratings and that will bring in all the hate mail, say whatever you want.

00:20:54.160 Doesn't mean you have to agree with what they said, but you cannot accuse them of selling out.

00:20:57.460 That is them being honest about what they really think and to punish them for it and say,

00:21:02.840 I'm done with this person. You're done with them for being honest with you.

00:21:09.640 This, you're going to, you're going to punish someone. So, so you want someone who's not being

00:21:12.780 honest is what you're looking for. Someone's going to pander to you and tell you exactly what you

00:21:15.360 already think. So that's the first thing, you know, there, there, there are a lot of conservatives

00:21:24.140 in media over the last four years who have done nothing but pander to their audience. Not one damn 0.97

00:21:30.100 thing except pander to their audience. And a lot of them get the credit for being the truthful ones. 0.64

00:21:35.460 And the conservatives of media who will actually be honest and upset their own audience on, on

00:21:39.820 occasion, they're the ones who get blasted for being dishonest and, you know, selling out and all

00:21:45.740 that. It's exactly, totally backwards. Um, so that's, that's the first thing. And in terms of

00:21:52.200 the claims, I just go back to, you know, we need to see the evidence for it. Um, there is no way you

00:21:56.800 can accept as gospel a claim this sensational without seeing the evidence. Now you could say,

00:22:01.320 well, Sidney Powell has no obligation to show us the evidence. She has to show it in court. I

00:22:05.040 absolutely agree. I've been saying this from the very beginning. My take on this is bring your

00:22:08.820 evidence to court. Uh, um, um, I a hundred percent agree with that. And I have an open mind and bring

00:22:14.280 it to court and let's, let's hash it out. Um, the only problem is that if you don't want to provide

00:22:19.480 the evidence to the court of public opinion, if you don't want to provide the evidence to the media,

00:22:23.240 and in fact, if you're going to, um, if you're going to react almost offended that the media would 0.79

00:22:28.500 even expect for you to provide evidence, then why are you in front of the media every damn day

00:22:33.380 talking about the evidence you won't show them? So that's a problem. Sidney Powell's on TV

00:22:37.220 every single freaking day talking about the evidence she refuses to show anybody.

00:22:42.300 Uh, so, you know, if you're, if you're going to do that, if you're going to go in front of someone

00:22:46.740 and say, I've got this evidence, of course, they're going to say, can I see it? You can't.

00:22:51.720 That's how rude. Sidney Powell later came out and responded to Tucker and said he was being rude

00:22:56.040 and aggressive and okay, well, it's, it's a perfectly reasonable thing. You tell somebody you

00:23:00.900 have evidence of something they say, can I see it? Um, and then that's the second point is fine. So

00:23:07.260 we've got to, we've got to hash this out in court, fully on board with that, but there are a lot of

00:23:11.060 people who are repeating Sidney Powell's claims as fact. They haven't seen the evidence. There's no

00:23:18.420 place for that. So, um, we'll see what happens. And, and, and, and here's the final point.

00:23:27.100 If Sidney Powell has uncovered the greatest crime in American history and is single-handedly going to

00:23:33.360 save the American Republic, then she is one of the great heroes in American history. Um, if however,

00:23:41.280 this is a lie or a scam, then she's one of the great villains in American history. It's, it's kind

00:23:49.200 of like one or the other. It's, it's one extreme or the other right now. That's what we're dealing

00:23:53.000 with. There might be a little bit of room in between, but I think we're looking at one extreme

00:23:56.700 or the other and we'll find out which one it is. Number two, the CDC has released its guidelines for

00:24:03.080 Thanksgiving. Um, here's the daily wire report. Once I pull it up, uh, it says, okay. So if you're

00:24:11.860 wondering what the CDC thinks about what you should be doing for Thanksgiving, um, says the

00:24:17.260 center for disease control prevention on Thursday urged Americans not to travel over Thanksgiving,

00:24:21.280 instead recommending that they gather virtually to celebrate the traditional family holiday.

00:24:25.940 Uh, the agency's COVID-19 incident manager, Dr. Henry Welk said the tragedy that could happen is

00:24:31.580 that one of your family members from coming together in this family gathering actually

00:24:35.420 could end up being hospitalized and severely ill, uh, or die. So, um, that's what's at stake. You

00:24:42.560 could kill your grandmother. We've been hearing a lot about people killing grandmothers. Um, Andrew 1.00

00:24:48.060 Cuomo has effectively actually done it by the hundreds. So here's, here are their recommendations.

00:24:54.340 Bring your own food, your own drinks, plates, cups, and utensils, wear a mask and safely store

00:25:01.480 your mask while eating and drinking. Avoid going in and out of the areas where food is being

00:25:06.040 prepared or handled, such as in the kitchen. Um, use single use options like salad dressing and

00:25:13.680 condiment packets and disposable items like food containers, plates, and utensils. Um, and then it

00:25:20.800 also says eat outdoors, limit the number of guests, clean and disinfect frequently, have guests bring their

00:25:30.100 own food and drink. All right. So, I mean, it's, I read this and I think like, it sounds to me, um,

00:25:37.840 that if I just sit downstairs and watch football and let the women cook, you know, that, that honestly 1.00

00:25:47.760 is the safest thing. That's me looking out for their wellbeing. So I have to tell my wife that

00:25:53.760 I'd love to help. And the other thing is I'd love to help clean too afterwards, but I just really feel

00:26:00.520 like I need to segregate myself and, uh, we can't have too many people around. And so I think, I think

00:26:05.960 that's what, that's what I'm going to do for, for the, for the sake of, of safety. Um, just making

00:26:10.600 sure that, you know, nobody gets sick. I am going to isolate myself in the room with the TV and just

00:26:17.880 watch a football. In fact, I'll, I'll even tell my wife, you can bring me my meal down in the room

00:26:23.280 and I'll just eat it down there. Um, again, just, this is a, this is a sacrifice I'm going to make

00:26:27.740 because I love the family that much. So these are very serious recommendations that we should take

00:26:33.000 from, uh, from the CDC. All right. Number three, this is a, this is an interesting poll because it's

00:26:41.720 one of those polls where whether you interpret the results in a positive or negative way, negative way,

00:26:47.520 and it depends entirely on the, uh, assumptions and the biases that you bring to it. So like most

00:26:55.100 polls, I guess, but this poll got a lot of headlines and the headline is 46% of voters say

00:27:00.600 Trump should concede immediately. 46% say he should concede immediately. Okay. Uh, and then it goes to

00:27:08.240 the text of the article says 46% of registered voters said Trump should concede right away while

00:27:13.060 another 32% said he should concede if he is unable to, to back up his claims of widespread fraud.

00:27:19.040 Just 12% said president should not concede no matter what. And 9% didn't know or had no opinion.

00:27:26.620 You'd always rely on that 9%. Uh, I don't know, but was there an election? 0.93

00:27:33.480 By the way, when it comes to this poll, there, there is an obvious correct answer here. The people in

00:27:37.660 the 36%, I think, what was the 36 or 34, the 36% camp, they're correct. That is the correct answer. 1.00

00:27:44.000 The correct answer is if he doesn't have evidence to back up all his claims, he should resign or not

00:27:48.340 resign rather concede. Um, that's, that is the objectively correct answer. The idea that he should

00:27:55.980 concede even before the court cases have been hashed out and before he's had a chance to present all 0.81

00:28:00.800 his evidence, that's ridiculous. And also the idea that he shouldn't concede no matter what,

00:28:06.600 even if he can't present the evidence, evidence, he still, still shouldn't concede. That is also

00:28:11.060 absurd. I think that those two, um, uh, stances on both extreme ends of the spectrum are equally as

00:28:18.820 absurd. And, uh, finally going to mental floss, uh, which is a, apparently a publication, the issue

00:28:30.020 of mall Santas this year. And if you're a parent, maybe you've wondered about this, uh, what's going

00:28:34.320 to happen with mall Santas? Here's the report. Considering that COVID-19 spreads easily through

00:28:38.600 close contact, it's no surprise that kids won't be sitting on Santa Claus's lap and whispering

00:28:42.940 their wishlist right into his ear this year. But while some seasonal Santas are only holding visits

00:28:47.600 over zoom this year, you might over zoom. Oh my gosh. So what you, you wait in line at the mall

00:28:53.220 and there's a, and you get up there and there's a laptop to talk to Santa via zoom. Uh, it says you

00:28:59.960 might still be able to say hello to your local mall Santa in person. Uh, Jill Renslow,

00:29:04.960 mall of America's senior vice president of development says Santa is absolutely coming

00:29:08.420 to the mall of America this year, but it's going to be a different experience based on

00:29:11.460 COVID-19 requirements. Instead of sitting out in the open, the Santa Claus at Minnesota's

00:29:15.400 mall of America will be posted up in a workshop so people can snap family photos at a safe distance.

00:29:20.200 Patriots, patrons won't be able to decide to visit on a whim either to cut down on crowds

00:29:24.740 and long lines. All sessions must be booked in advance through the shopping centers website.

00:29:28.920 So what is this like a zoo? He's going to be behind glass in his natural environment and

00:29:34.020 you can just, you can line up and take pictures, maybe tap on the glass. He'll come over.

00:29:39.000 Oh, he's looking at us. Um, I, maybe it'll be something similar. I, at the, uh, local bass

00:29:45.640 pro shops here in Nashville, which I have, I have sung its praises, praises multiple times

00:29:50.700 on this show. Um, they have a, a Santa. And so their, their strategy is Santa is wearing a visor

00:30:00.700 and he's behind glass. And so the kids can go up to the glass. And I was watching people do this.

00:30:07.600 Uh, you wait in line and you go up to the glass and then you can just stand behind the glass and

00:30:13.440 wave at Santa and he waves at you. And then you could turn around and they take a picture with you,

00:30:17.460 with him behind the glass and you standing there. And in the picture, it's going to look like Santa's

00:30:22.360 in prison. So it's a little weird. Uh, you know, I, I, I would say maybe if you're a parent and you

00:30:31.260 know, you're trying to keep the Santa thing going, this year might not be a good year for it. I think

00:30:36.760 it raises a lot of questions like he's Santa Claus. He's magical. He isn't, isn't there some

00:30:42.860 magical force field or whatever that he can use? We really have to worry about Santa Claus giving us

00:30:47.380 COVID. These are questions that your, your, your kids might have. Um, why can't Santa Claus come up

00:30:54.980 with a vaccine? He's Santa Claus. You can travel the entire world at the speed of light, do anything.

00:31:01.180 These are all, these are all, uh, questions that an inquisitive mind might, uh, might come up with.

00:31:06.920 So if your child is inquisitive, maybe don't bring him to Santa. If your child's stupid though, 1.00

00:31:11.420 then, uh, then don't worry about it. Makes life easier in a lot of ways. We'll get to our daily 1.00

00:31:15.280 cancellation in just a second, but you know, we, we all are fed up with the legacy media,

00:31:19.760 the mainstream media. We've had enough of that, especially with, with, uh, four years of Trump and

00:31:24.120 how they performed and how they've acquitted themselves. Not very well to put it mildly.

00:31:28.520 Uh, and, uh, during the election as well. And, but here's the thing, if you're, if you're fed up

00:31:33.480 with the legacy media, then rather than continuing to go to them for your news and information,

00:31:38.740 how about replacing your cable and your new subscriptions with the daily wire? We have

00:31:42.780 big plans for the next year. We're very excited about Candace Owens is joining the daily wire.

00:31:46.840 We've got an entertainment channel that's launching. We've got investigative journalism we're

00:31:50.340 going to be doing. Uh, we're, we're teaming up with PragerU by the end of the year, all of their

00:31:54.140 videos will be available on our platform and we're going after the legacy media.

00:31:58.520 And we're going to do it by building a huge membership base of supporters just like you

00:32:02.280 right now. Just to show you, we're serious. We're offering 25% off all memberships with

00:32:06.080 code election over at dailywire.com slash subscribe, but pay attention to this because it's the last

00:32:11.300 day you can get this deal. So go right now, sign up members, get our articles ad free. You get

00:32:30.200 memberships with code election over at dailywire.com slash subscribe, replace the legacy media with

00:32:36.260 the daily wire. You won't regret it. All right, let's get to our daily cancellation. Today for

00:32:41.380 our daily cancellation, we're going to be canceling everybody involved in this video from a publication

00:32:45.840 called the cut, which is I believe an offshoot or property of New York magazine. The video is

00:32:51.580 titled, so what exactly are white people superior at? And after setting up that straw man, it is 0.57

00:32:57.940 mostly an opportunity for a succession of non-white people to air their complaints against white 0.79

00:33:02.580 people. Complaints often based around degrading stereotypes, sometimes bizarre stereotypes,

00:33:07.260 stereotypes which lead me to suspect that these individuals have never met a white person in

00:33:11.580 their entire lives. I'm not just canceling the cut for this, by the way, and the bigots in the

00:33:18.040 video that we're going to play in a moment. Of course, I am canceling that, but also YouTube

00:33:21.580 for allowing it on their platform and for permitting it to be monetized. Under normal circumstances,

00:33:26.780 I would have no problem with either of those things. I would say, sure, you know, this is

00:33:32.520 ridiculous and bigoted, but it's fine to have it on YouTube. The problem is that YouTube would never 0.50

00:33:40.400 in a million years allow this video in the reverse to appear on their platform. If it's a free speech

00:33:45.500 platform and they're allowing whatever content, fine. But this video in the reverse would not

00:33:50.200 be allowed on any platform anywhere and certainly would not have advertisers attached to it. We all

00:33:55.520 know that. So, all right, let's, uh, let's get to it. What exactly are white people superior at?

00:34:01.700 Oh, according to television, everything. A white man could fly. Even a white woman, she could be four 0.99

00:34:06.400 foot one. She knew karate. She could take down 15 people. Yeah, let's stop it there for a moment. 1.00

00:34:11.180 Um, she says white people can fly in the movies. Yes, those are superhero films you're referring

00:34:17.980 to. Nobody's claiming that white people actually have this ability in real life. Do you know what

00:34:23.240 a superhero film is? Did you think that the Avengers is a documentary? Just because a white person could 0.78

00:34:29.280 do something in a film, it doesn't mean that the filmmakers are claiming that all white people can

00:34:34.280 do that thing. When you watch Sherlock Holmes, nobody's trying to say that all white people are

00:34:38.640 brilliant crime solvers. In fact, most of the other people in the movie are also white and they can't 1.00

00:34:43.320 do what Sherlock Holmes can do. I shouldn't have to explain any of this, but here we are. And this

00:34:49.000 gives you an idea of the mentality that we're encountering here. Uh, the mentality of a person

00:34:53.060 who thinks that a white superhero flying on film is some sort of white supremacist statement. It only

00:35:00.600 gets worse from here. So buckle up. What are white people superior at? 0.88

00:35:07.600 Now I'm not going to make any rude comments, um, about what you just witnessed there because that's

00:35:14.100 not like me. You know that. And I think your arguments don't have as much weight, um, when you

00:35:20.960 go for cheap shots. I will only say that what you're witnessing here is the torture killing of a

00:35:27.000 straw man. This is a straw man being drawn and quartered. This would be a human rights violation

00:35:31.620 if it was happening to a real person, but it isn't. And that's the point they're pretending that

00:35:35.380 there's some prevalent view out there that white people are superior as if, as if, as if anyone's

00:35:41.120 going around making that argument, nobody's making that argument. That's the argument they want us to

00:35:46.280 make. That's the case. They wish they were arguing against, but it isn't. So instead they pretend it is.

00:35:53.020 And this is the result. They, they just keep talking mostly about their pets.

00:35:58.800 White people love their dogs. Like that's all you see. Cats letting them get on your countertops 1.00

00:36:03.960 while you're cooking. Yes. I get that you love your pet, but like you need to take it everywhere,

00:36:08.900 like everywhere. I guess, you know, Hey, emotional support animals, I guess.

00:36:13.760 I almost have some common ground here because I also hate pets, but that's not a white thing. 0.97

00:36:19.740 Emotional support animals are not a white thing. That's a left-wing pampered, entitled urbanite 1.00

00:36:25.760 thing. And that's the version of white person that the people in this video are attacking.

00:36:30.280 I used to live in, I just moved from rural Pennsylvania. Nobody in rural Pennsylvania

00:36:34.400 has emotional support animals. I can tell you that. Although my neighbor did have a house pig.

00:36:40.100 I'm not making that up. They had an actual pig that went in, that was, you know, would hang out in

00:36:44.260 their house. Sometimes a pig would escape and come onto our yard. Um, it wasn't an emotional support

00:36:49.520 pig though. I have the feeling if I'd asked them, Oh, is this your emotional support animal? I would

00:36:54.380 have gotten shot. So, um, no, this is, this is, this is a particular type of white person that 0.97

00:37:00.520 they're attacking. The irony here is that they are also all entitled pampered left-wing urbanites.

00:37:07.240 Have you seen one person in this video who doesn't have almond milk in their refrigerator?

00:37:11.800 Have you seen one person who would be out of place at a, at a, you know, an, an extinction

00:37:16.540 rebellion, climate change protests? No, these are non-white liberals attacking white liberals. 0.90

00:37:22.320 That's what's happening. 0.95

00:37:23.600 What exactly are white people superior at? 0.84

00:37:27.700 Men, like making cereal. 1.00

00:37:29.860 Casseroles.

00:37:30.400 What kind of casserole?

00:37:31.500 Tuna.

00:37:32.200 It's always tuna. What do you mean? It's always tuna.

00:37:35.240 Using mayonnaise in a lot of their recipes.

00:37:38.640 Making bland food.

00:37:39.780 Unseasoned chicken.

00:37:40.600 How are you going to start whole spice wars and don't even use seasoning on your food? I mean, come on.

00:37:45.580 What exactly are white people superior at? 0.99

00:37:47.420 Smelling funky. 0.99

00:37:48.640 Santa Claus.

00:37:49.400 Extreme water sports.

00:37:50.560 Corn mazes.

00:37:51.340 White people are great at having fun. 0.55

00:37:54.520 That's a function of white supremacy because they just don't have as many stresses as we do. 0.97

00:38:00.240 White people are very superior at their privilege and utilizing it. 1.00

00:38:03.780 We do not have the privilege to do whatever and however we want to. 0.94

00:38:07.980 Oh, he doesn't have privilege. Sure. Yeah, he's oppressed.

00:38:10.860 He's a victim of white supremacy. 0.99

00:38:12.160 In fact, he's so scared of murderous white supremacists that he's appearing in a video 0.99

00:38:16.960 published by a major media company where the entire point is to make fun of white people 1.00

00:38:20.960 for being frivolous, foul-smelling idiots who don't know how to properly season their food. 1.00

00:38:24.900 Which again, on that score, that's a criticism of the kale-chomping vegans in their own social circles. 1.00

00:38:33.080 Come down here to Tennessee.

00:38:34.500 You'll find plenty of wonderfully seasoned food often cooked by white people.

00:38:38.920 White people who, we should note, smell just fine. 1.00

00:38:42.160 Okay? 0.93

00:38:43.360 Let's get back to it.

00:38:44.820 What exactly are white people superior at? 0.96

00:38:47.060 Insecurity. 0.98

00:38:47.820 Pretending.

00:38:48.480 Fear.

00:38:49.100 Being fearful of nothing. 0.99

00:38:51.060 Being ignorant. 0.92

00:38:52.060 Yes, insecurity and fear. 0.99

00:38:53.780 Right.

00:38:54.100 You are literally appearing in a video where the whole point is to denigrate another race

00:38:58.620 to make yourself feel better, but they're the insecure ones.

00:39:02.220 Okay, then.

00:39:03.260 Letting their egos control their every move.

00:39:05.780 Privilege.

00:39:06.360 Privilege. 0.77

00:39:06.900 Killing victimized. 0.95

00:39:08.000 Slaying the victim. 1.00

00:39:08.920 Congratulating themselves over s*** that they're incompetent at. 0.99

00:39:12.560 Or that should have already been done. 1.00

00:39:14.180 They're superior at being d***s. 1.00

00:39:16.700 And now they're talking about egos. 0.99

00:39:18.220 Yes, egos.

00:39:18.940 Again, I have to remind you about the video that you are currently appearing in.

00:39:23.600 Whole lot of ego here.

00:39:25.180 So what exactly are white people superior at? 0.99

00:39:27.160 Honey, lying, stealing, and cheating. 1.00

00:39:29.340 Manipulation.

00:39:30.220 Withholding information.

00:39:31.480 Lying.

00:39:32.020 Telling lies.

00:39:32.900 What kind of lies?

00:39:34.040 The lies of history.

00:39:35.620 They say that history is written by the victor, but the victor could be replaced by the colonizer.

00:39:41.200 What are white people superior at?

00:39:43.820 Conquering. 0.53

00:39:44.820 Imperialism.

00:39:45.620 Imperialism.

00:39:46.220 Colonizing.

00:39:46.780 Colonizing.

00:39:47.540 Colonialism.

00:39:48.220 Colonization.

00:39:49.140 Colonization.

00:39:49.800 They might be better at that than us and everybody else, really.

00:39:53.120 They ballsy.

00:39:53.800 They rolls up all over the world and they walk into everybody's house and says, oh, this is nice. 0.99

00:39:58.720 I'm going to take your s***. 1.00

00:39:59.740 And they have no qualms about it. 1.00

00:40:01.700 They can take anything, baby.

00:40:02.880 Okay, so they really did find a list of every person who's bought kombucha in Manhattan in the

00:40:10.000 last month, take out all the white ones, and invite the rest to participate in this video. 0.91

00:40:14.120 They were looking for an extremely narrow perspective and they found it.

00:40:18.460 What they found specifically is naked bigotry, hate, and racism.

00:40:22.740 These words are tossed around a lot these days.

00:40:24.400 Bigotry, hate, racism.

00:40:25.940 But often they're lobbed at the wrong targets.

00:40:28.640 Here's an actual example.

00:40:29.920 If anyone's wondering what actual racists sound like when you roll out the red carpet

00:40:34.960 and invite them to spill the racist beans, here it is.

00:40:38.740 This is it.

00:40:39.500 This is exactly what it looks like.

00:40:41.620 So what's the point of a video like this?

00:40:44.480 Why would New York Magazine put something like this out there?

00:40:48.540 You know, they turned off the comments on YouTube for a reason.

00:40:51.780 They knew how it would be received.

00:40:54.160 If they actually did think that there were white supremacists who needed to be debunked,

00:40:59.920 they knew that this video wasn't going to achieve that.

00:41:03.580 It's not like this is well-meaning but misguided.

00:41:05.900 Like they actually thought a Nazi would watch this and go,

00:41:08.420 wow, you know what?

00:41:09.380 I am terrible and I do smell bad and I should expand my casserole horizons a bit.

00:41:14.860 No, this was meant entirely to provoke.

00:41:18.240 That was quite obviously its sole intention.

00:41:20.880 That's it.

00:41:21.960 But provoke what?

00:41:23.580 Well, provoke bigotry, hatred, and racism.

00:41:27.000 That, after all, is how you get bigotry, hatred, and racism.

00:41:30.960 They are self-replicating viruses, basically.

00:41:34.340 If you want someone to be a racist, just be racist towards them.

00:41:39.940 It may not work.

00:41:41.160 Okay, you may not be able to provoke racism out of everyone or even most people,

00:41:44.980 especially in this country that way, but it's the best hope you have.

00:41:47.760 So the idea here is to inflame some of that white supremacist bigotry,

00:41:52.760 which the likes of New York Magazine finds to be in such short supply.

00:41:56.520 This has been the left's and the media's tactic for a long time now.

00:41:59.600 If there isn't enough racism to suit your political needs,

00:42:02.640 you can, first of all, fake it.

00:42:05.060 You know, just take the Jussie Smollett approach, the hoax.

00:42:08.040 Or you can be a bigot yourself, hoping to get some bigotry in return.

00:42:13.400 This is called race hustling, race baiting, 0.55

00:42:16.320 and it's far more insidious than those terms make it sound.

00:42:20.980 It's really quite evil, actually.

00:42:24.100 And so everybody involved in this video is canceled permanently, forever and always.

00:42:29.520 May God have mercy on their souls, because they'll need it.

00:42:33.900 And we're going to leave it there for this week.

00:42:35.720 Have a great weekend, everybody.

00:42:37.520 Godspeed.

00:42:37.960 We'll see you next time.
