Today on the Matt Wall Show, the DNC convention kicks off with a call to unite America.
But what does unity look like in the mind of a Democrat?
Apparently it includes rioting and looting and destruction.
So we'll talk about all that.
Also, five headlines, including a college professor who's finally uncovered the sinister nature of coloring books.
So you need to hear about this.
And finally, in our Daily Cancellation, we'll talk about the hate crime claim made weeks ago that got a lot of attention at the time, but hasn't been mentioned by the media or law enforcement since.
I wonder why.
So, all of that is on the way, but we start here.
The Democrat convention, as mentioned, kicks off tonight.
As you can imagine, I'm very excited.
There are really only a few things I'd rather do than watch the DNC convention.
For example, stick my face in a blender.
I'd rather do that, but my blender isn't working right now, so that's good news for my face, I guess.
Anyway, I took note of the theme of the convention, which is this, if you can believe it.
The theme is Uniting America.
Now, as I've argued extensively in recent months, uniting, unity, is nothing more than an empty slogan if it is advocated without context.
You want unity?
Okay, great.
But what do you mean?
Who is uniting?
And around what?
And why?
And to what end?
That's certainly the question you would ask if some weirdo on the street came up to you and said, hey friend, let's unite.
You'd hear that and you'd say, what do you mean by unite?
Is that some sort of Sexual euphemism?
You need more information before you agree to it, is the point.
So when I hear Democrats call for unity, I have the same question.
I'm pretty sure they don't mean it sexually, though you never know with these people, but what do they mean?
And that question takes on new urgency when you consider, for example, the words of the Squad's Ringo, Ayanna Pressley, being interviewed on MSNBC this weekend.
Here's what she had to say.
Listen to this.
I'm looking to the public.
You know, this is as much about public outcry and organizing and mobilizing and applying pressure so that this GOP-led Senate and that these governors that continue to carry water for this administration, putting the American people in harm's way, turning a deaf ear to the needs of our families and our communities, hold them accountable.
Well, make the phone call, send the email, show up.
You know, there needs to be unrest in the streets for as long as there's unrest in our lives.
And unfortunately, there's plenty to go around.
She wants more unrest in the streets.
She's not satisfied yet.
Presley, sitting on her comfortable perch far away from the burned out neighborhoods, the boarded up stores, the looting, the rioting, the assaults, the murder, the children in cancer treatment centers laying in their beds in terror as they listen to the gunshots, as we talked about last week.
Presley, insulated from all of that, insulated from the chaos and death and destruction, wants more of it.
Wants it to continue.
That's her unity.
And she's not alone in Democrat Party, not at all.
In fact, her view is mainstream, is more than mainstream, is the only acceptable or only accepted view, in fact.
Another example, a few days ago, BLM activists stormed a suburban neighborhood in Seattle and demanded that white people give up their homes.
Listen to that.
people back their home.
They're sitting there comfortably, comfortable as f***
and they didn't help justify this neighborhood.
Are you still living in this neighborhood?
I used to live in this neighborhood!
I grew up here and my family was pushed out!
And you're sitting up there having a good time with your other white friends!
Hey, you work for Amazon, don't you?
You work for Amazon, don't you?
That's our doggy!
Because the majority of people that live in the Central District now work for Amazon because it's the easiest commute to downtown for them.
Well, guess what?
The guy you work for is part of the f***ing problem, too.
So, let's not act like you just are oblivious to this s*** because you knew about it all along and you were okay with it.
But guess what?
We're not.
And we're bringing it to your front Ryan, the window's calling the cops.
The cops!
And now we're turning the lights off because we called you a gentrifier!
No!
Jakey got a melody!
How do you plan to re-gentrify a black neighborhood that you obviously are part of gentrifying?
You notice how having a good job is literally a joke to these people?
You guys have jobs at Amazon where you support your families, losers!
But what you have here really is a gang of overgrown children, a gang of clowns and losers demanding that they simply be given what other people have worked for.
Now, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez was recently asked about this incident by reporters, asked if she condemns What these BLM children are doing, and here's what she said, this is the quote.
Since this is happening in Seattle, I don't have as close of a view on what's happening.
Of course, I represent New York's 14th Congressional District, so I don't know the details of the protests that are going on.
But I think what's really important is that we make sure people are safe, and it's important for us to enact legislation and policy that actually addresses the core reason behind all of this kind of disruption that's happening.
And then she added, until we do that, this is going to keep occurring, whether we want it to or not.
Whether we want it to or not.
Well, she wants it to.
That much is clear.
Now, let's look at some other examples of this unrest in the street that the Democrat Party explicitly endorses and encourages.
This is from last night in Portland.
A BLM mob caused a man to crash his truck, then knocked him unconscious and left him bleeding in the street.
So that's what happened.
Let's back up a little bit and see how this all began.
I'm going to play that video for you.
You'll see the mob swarm a truck, the truck drives away, and in the chaos, ends up crashing.
So we'll watch that part first.
First Watch.
Yeah.
Mhm.
Stop. I'm gonna hit you with the car.
You're gonna pull your.
Oh, yeah.
Get out.
No.
Get out.
Back up.
Back up.
Watch your feet.
Watch your feet.
Ha ha ha.
Ha ha ha.
Back up.
Oh.
Okay, so, so you see that.
And then they go to the car.
The guy gets out or is dragged out.
I'm not sure which one.
At which point, he's held hostage by these people.
Detained is the word I've seen used in the media.
They detained him as if they're police officers.
And then they did this.
Hey!
Hey, bro, you're not leaving, bro.
You're not leaving.
Get your ass out of here!
Get your ass out of here!
I ain't trying to hurt no one down there.
What do you mean you're not trying to hurt nobody?
And after all of that, of course, they robbed his truck because why not?
All in the name of justice, okay?
Just so you know, and because of, you know, George Floyd or whatever.
Now again, the Democrat Party explicitly supports this.
It's not just that they won't condemn it, which they won't, of course, but that they, as you heard from Ringo, they positively advocate for it.
So, we go back to our original question.
What do they mean by unity?
They want to unite America.
Well, how so?
Unite us all in our shared affection for beating white men unconscious?
Is that the idea?
Well, sort of, yeah.
For Democrats, when they say unite, if you do not share their ideology and affirm it absolutely, and especially if you're not in an approved victim group, then they're not looking to unite with you, but rather to unite around a shared hatred of you.
For the left and Democrats, the uniting principle is one of vengeance and hatred.
And it's vengeance against and hatred of you.
That is their unity.
Why do you think they won't stand for the anthem?
Because it's too inclusive.
Oh, say, does that star-spangled banner yet wave over the land of the free, the home of the brave?
That's far too unifying.
It includes too many people.
That's their beef with it, when it comes down to it.
So, a unity convention for Democrats is like a dinner party for cannibals.
They may invite you to the table, but it's only because you're on the menu.
Unity for them is highly specific, highly exclusionary, and anyone who doesn't pass the litmus test is an other, a villain, and they are deserving of any fate that befalls them, including being knocked unconscious in the street.
That is the Democrat Party.
That is what it stands for.
That's the vision it has for this country, and we have seen the vision increasingly realized recently.
Voters now just have to decide if they want more of that.
Now let's get to our five headlines.
You know, getting out and about, that's something, especially when the weather is nice like this, that you want to be able to do.
And, you know, if it starts to start cooling down a little bit, we get into the fall, great time to be out and about.
Well, that's what you need an electric bike for.
Whether you want a new way to get around town or out in nature, even with the kids in tow,
whatever it is, you've got to try a Rad Power Bike.
Just give it a try and you'll be hooked, trust me.
It's a cross between a traditional bike and a moped, but it doesn't require a special driver's license
or anything like that.
You can go up to 20 miles per hour without pedaling.
So you can get out and about without getting all sweaty.
And so that means they're great for commuting to work.
So you're not showing up at work sweaty and disgusting.
I think your co-workers will appreciate that.
Or you can haul groceries.
Like I said, you can even have kids on the back.
Unlike other e-bikes, they're actually affordable.
Plus, to show appreciation for those that service, Rad Power Bikes is offering $100 off all e-bike purchases for active ex-military, first responders, teachers, and students.
Dedicated U.S.-based customer support, seven days a week, to answer any questions that you might have.
So they're there for you.
The product is, I mean, what I like about it is that it's a lot of fun, but it's also really practical.
It's something that you can use and have fun while you use it.
Rad Power Bikes offers flexible financing for as low as 0% APR.
Right now, as a limited time offer, get a free accessory with the purchase of a bike.
That's right, get a free gift of up to $100 in value and free shipping to the lower 48 states.
To get this special offer, text the word BIKE to 64000.
That's BIKE to 64000.
Text BIKE to 64000.
All right, number one, let me start with this.
First of all, can I just say at the outset that I love controversies as much as the next guy, more than the next guy probably.
I live for it.
It's great.
People fighting, disagreeing, getting all offended about stuff.
I'm into it.
I really am.
But every once in a while, a controversy pops up.
that I just can't get into. I can't bring myself to care.
And we are in one of those news cycles right now, and it's really killing me.
This Postal Service stuff.
There's a lot of controversy surrounding the Postal Service and mail-in voting, and
I can't even continue talking about it right now because I might fall asleep in the middle of speaking.
That's how boring it is to me.
I've tried working myself up about it.
I really have.
I've practiced it.
I was in the mirror this morning practicing, like, getting angry.
Ah, this!
The Postal Service!
Ah, I'm so angry!
And I couldn't, I just couldn't do it. I tried. So, here I am, left out, while people care about
this for 37 seconds. But it's a torturous 37 seconds because I feel so excluded.
But all of that said, I did appreciate this at least. This was the closest I could come to being
interested, which is right here. You can see the footage of protests at the Postmaster General's
house.
These are people who are concerned that their ability to vote by mail is being blocked by Trump and the General.
I don't know if he's a real General, but anyway, that's what I call him.
But the funny thing, of course, is that they want to do mail-in voting, Because they don't want to have to go out in public and vote because they're afraid of the virus, yet they're out in public in a large group protesting that they might have to be out in public in a much smaller group to vote.
So it's just, it's, it's, this is really, this is part of the scientific discovery process that's been very interesting, really, really fascinating, frankly, to learn more and more about this virus each day.
Because at first we thought, you know, it's a virus.
It can infect anyone, really.
You know, certain demographics are not as susceptible, of course, like children.
But, you know, you figure, like, it's sort of, it's just a virus, you know, and that's what you think.
But then we learned that it really only infects you at church, at school, or during anti-lockdown protests, or while voting in person.
But it doesn't infect you at Walmart, at Target, at BLM protests, or while protesting, voting in person.
So like I said, fascinating stuff.
And this is why I just love science.
I love learning things like this.
It really is just a lot of fun.
Number two, here's a better controversy.
This is more my speed.
Father James Martin, a Jesuit of course, is going to be speaking at the DNC, I think on Thursday.
Martin, despite being a Catholic priest, is known for his Far left activism.
And in fact, as a Catholic, it pains me to say that we might be reaching a point where I don't need to say despite anymore in that sentence.
But anyway, this is the guy, for example, who sent out a tweet.
After George Floyd died, asking for George Floyd to intercede for us in heaven.
He literally tried to canonize George Floyd via tweet.
He's also a big LGBT activist, big into leftist causes in general, so on one level it makes sense for him to speak at the DNC, but on another level he's allegedly a Catholic and allegedly a priest.
And you can't really be either of those in good standing and have anything to do with the modern Democrat Party.
The modern Democrat Party is expressly opposed to Catholic teaching, Christian teaching, biblical teaching.
And there are of course many examples of this, but we don't need to go any further than the Democrat Party's stated official position that children in the womb at any stage and for any reason can be executed.
So Martin should be defrocked and excommunicated for this.
He won't be, of course, but he should be.
Number three, a few weeks ago, I had to cancel Ryan Reynolds because he issued a public apology for getting married at a wedding venue.
We might be reaching a point where I could just stop the sentence there, where you're going to have celebrities apologizing.
At least heterosexual celebrities apologizing for getting married in general.
We might be reaching that point, but we're not there yet.
So he apologized for getting married at a wedding venue that used to be a slave plantation 150 years ago.
He apologized for that, for some reason.
Because apparently now, you know, you can't, even if a place is a very pretty venue and there's a lot of great scenery, if bad stuff happened there a century and a half ago, you're not allowed to get married there.
So, you know, before you get married anywhere, or really go do anything anywhere, like go for a picnic, anything, you need to research, do Wikipedia, go to Google, maybe do an archaeological dig to see what happened, and then you can have your picnic.
But now Reynolds is begging to be cancelled again, really.
The Premier of British Columbia, for some reason, held a press conference begging Ryan Reynolds and Seth Rogen to help him fight the coronavirus.
Because of course, in a medical crisis, the people you want to call are the guy from Deadpool and the guy from Knocked Up.
Here's the premiere.
I've been talking about the importance of making sure that younger demographics are hearing the message.
This is a call out to Deadpool right now.
Ryan, we need your help up here.
Get in touch with us.
My number's on the internet.
Seth Rogan, another outstanding British Columbian, we need to communicate with people who aren't hearing us.
The two of you alone could help us in that regard.
There's a host of other options available and we're working as hard as we can to enlist a number of prominent British Columbians and prominent Canadians To help get that message through to the demographic that clearly isn't hearing our message.
Now Reynolds, in true cringe fashion, responded with, for some reason, a fake voicemail.
And this is what that sounded like.
Hey, Premier Horgan, Ryan Reynolds here.
I got your message about the thing.
I'm not sure it's a great idea, frankly.
People don't, I don't think they want medical advice from guys like me.
No, sir.
Unless it's plastic surgery, which a lot of people don't know this, but I used to be Hugh Jackman.
You know, young folks in BC, yeah, they're partying, which is, of course, dangerous.
And they probably don't know that thousands of young people aren't just getting sick from coronavirus, that they're also dying from it, too.
And of course, it's terrible that it affects our most vulnerable.
You know, BC, that's home to some of the coolest older people on Earth.
I mean, David Suzuki.
He lives there.
My mom.
I mean, she doesn't want to be cooped up in her apartment all day.
She wants to be out there cruising Kitsilano Beach looking for some young 30-something Abercrombie burnout to go full Mrs. Robinson on.
She is...
Insatiable.
But here's the thing.
I hope that young people in BC don't kill my mom, frankly, or David Suzuki, or each other.
Let's not kill anyone.
I think that's reasonable.
I don't think that I'm the guy to deliver this message.
I love parties.
My favorite thing to do is just sit alone in my room with a glass of gin and the first 32 seasons of Gossip Girl.
That's a party.
I threw my shoulder out the last time I did that.
No one is gonna kill your mother, Ryan, you paranoid lunatic.
People are partying, okay.
If your mom's not going to those parties, then she should be all right.
If she's going out, if she's practicing social distancing, wearing the mask, You know, it's it's I I don't think they're gonna kill your mom.
I think I think it should be Really?
Okay, especially if she's out on the beach Out in the you know open air Keeping a distance.
I think everything will be fine number four here's a report from the New York Post it says Twitter is raging over a supposed call to cancel Genghis Khan, all prompted by a woman who had merely pointed out that the fearless 12th century Mongol conqueror had also killed an awful lot of people.
This is tweeted from user Priya27, said, Genghis Khan did to Central Asia what Islamic invaders did to India, maybe worse.
He single-handedly killed 11% of the world population at the time.
yet some want to glorify him as a hero and conqueror.
That's your personal choice, but objectively, Genghis Khan was a barbarian.
I saw these tweets.
Now, this was tweeted out.
I thought it was some interesting facts and points that were made.
The 11% of the world population figure, I'd have to...
That seems rather incredible.
I'd have to go check that one myself.
But anyway, he certainly killed a lot of people, we know that.
And then people were mocking this though, as if she was trying to cancel Genghis Khan posthumously.
I don't think that was the point at all.
I think actually at least one thing you could take from this...
Is that it turns out, in fact, that white people did not invent wars of conquest, did not invent genocide, did not invent slavery.
All that stuff has been happening in the world for thousands and thousands and thousands of years.
This is just one example.
I don't know if that was her point, but that is one historical that you can take from this and to put things in context.
And I think especially these days, that is some useful context to have.
And finally, let's see here.
This is a report in the Daily Wire.
I actually haven't read through this yet.
I'm just grabbing it based on the headline.
So, let's dive in.
It says, in a piece originally titled, There's a Sinister Reason Coloring Books Are So Popular in Quarantine, a professor who teaches the history of art, ideas, and technology at Stanford University, and also writes for The Guardian and Vogue, posits a unique take.
What if the recent popularity of coloring books comes not from the creativity they purportedly inspire, but from the submission they induce?
In the piece later retitled, The Dark Forgotten History of Coloring Books, Emmanuel Lugoli asserts, This, after all, has been their mission from the start.
It may be lost to the fans of coloring books that their success peaked in the 19th century, when such publications taught children how to behave.
And obedience seems to be what many of us crave in these pandemic days.
Of course, it may be lost to the fans of coloring books.
Well, the fans of coloring books, for the most part, are seven years old, so yes, I'm sure this is lost on them.
I mean, my seven-year-old has never asked me about the history of coloring books.
I'd be a little freaked out if she did.
Noting that the Little Folks painting book, often described as the first coloring book, which depicts, in its last story, a brother and sister who wish to fly away from their boring, secluded life, Lugli asks, does this sum up what coloring books are about?
Stay within the lines.
And then, alright, it goes on.
So, okay, this is as crazy as I hoped it would be, so I'm encouraged by that.
And I like where it's going.
My only concern is that it doesn't go quite far enough.
Yes, coloring books teach submission, so there's that.
But what about, I mean, they also teach a form of blackface and cultural appropriation, because think about it, you're taking these white characters, usually, and coloring them, much like Ralph Northam.
You're taking these pasty white figures and putting artificial color on them.
So I think that this encourages children to perform blackface.
Not only that, but coloring books are transphobic.
Because, for some reason, they trivialize body dysmorphia by allowing you to change the physical characteristics of the characters in the coloring books so easily, thereby cheapening the lived experience of dysmorphic individuals.
Got it. Okay, so you can add on to this.
So I'm a little bit disappointed by this professor.
Yeah, you found one offensive aspect of coloring books, but what about everything else?
So you gotta go.
You really gotta go for the gusto on these things.
All right, let's get to our daily cancellation.
But before we do, I want to tell you about our friends at Eero.
It can be kind of frustrating if there's that, and I've got more than one spot in my house, to be honest, before I started using Eero, where you get maybe one or two spots in your house where the Wi-Fi really doesn't work that well, or you might have the one spot where it works the best, and so you have to be huddled in that corner using your laptop or whatever.

Well, this is another one of those cancellations that I wish I didn't have to do.
This is the case for all of my cancellations.
In fact, to everyone that I've cancelled, you should know that it hurts me more than it hurts you.
I am, at heart, a truly compassionate and tolerant man, so it grieves me when you are so lame and stupid that I have to cancel you.
Deeply, deeply grieves me.
And never has that been truer than right now.
Today, I must cancel the police department of Madison, Wisconsin.
I am a supporter of the police.
I hate the defund the police movement.
I've spent a lot of time, especially recently, defending the police against unfair attacks.
But the Madison police Must be cancelled even so, and I'll explain why.
It stems from a case that I've been following on this show, even if nobody else really has.
I follow it because I am of the increasingly unique and perhaps bizarre opinion that the truth matters.
And in this day and age, when lies and misinformation and propaganda and false narratives are helping to fuel the rapid destruction of our society, the truth has never mattered more, I would say.
So, let's review briefly.
The case is that of Althea Bernstein, 18-year-old Madison, Wisconsin resident.
Seven weeks ago, on June 24th, Althea Bernstein claims she was driving through the city at 1 a.m.
Stopped at a red light, she thinks, around West Gorham and State Street in Madison.
And she says that at that moment, four white men approached her vehicle.
Two were wearing floral shirts and jeans.
The other two were dressed in all black and wearing masks.
Somehow she knew those two were white also.
I don't know how, but that's not the point right now.
She says they yelled a racial slur at her, then squirted some lighter fluid on her, and then threw a lighter into the car, which set her face on fire.
And she says that she then drove away in shock, eventually made it home, went to the hospital, called the police the next day.
Now, the media went wild with this story at first.
It made headlines in all the major publications.
It was used to support the claim of a hate crime epidemic in America.
Meghan Markle called Althea and spoke with her for 40 minutes, consoling and offering advice.
Because, of course, Meghan has had to deal with hate crimes herself, like the time that the maid left streaks on the window after washing it.
So she suffered quite a bit in her life.
The point is, and this was a pretty big deal at the time, and of course it would be if it happened.
Four flame-throwing racist thugs wandering the street of Madison with lighter fluid, literally setting black women on fire?
That's a huge deal.
I mean, it's almost unbelievable, you might say.
Of course, there were always some weird aspects of this story, such as, like, every aspect of the story.
It was the middle of the night.
She's at a stoplight.
These guys show up with lighter fluid.
What were they doing?
Just hanging out in the street waiting for a racial minority to stop?
They doused her with lighter fluid and then the lighter and then she drove away.
Why did she drive away at some point in the middle of this whole process, which must have taken several seconds at least to unfold?
And how did the lighter even stay lit as it was thrown?
Not to mention, where is that lighter now?
Does she have it?
It must have landed in the car, right?
And well, look at the picture of her injuries.
This is strange.
She said that her face was on fire.
Is that what burn marks look like after your face has been ignited?
I don't know.
Maybe.
It's never happened to me, admittedly.
But it doesn't look exactly like what you would expect.
But then...
Where are the witnesses to this attack?
It happened in the middle of the city, a busy part of town.
Sure, it was the middle of the night, but even so, did no one else see this happen?
Did no one else have a run-in with this group of violent, fire-wielding Nazis?
Did they come out at 1 a.m.
with a lighter fluid, attack one person, then disappear forever?
Surely someone else saw them.
Surely they had a run-in with someone else other than Althea Bernstein.
And what about cameras?
Red light cameras, security cameras, cell phone cameras?
Surely this was caught on tape somewhere.
And even if not, surely these guys, this group, are on video walking to the scene or leaving it.
It just seems like this should be a very, very easy case to crack.
You should have the fingerprints on the lighter that must have landed in Althea's car.
You should have some kind of video.
You should have some kind of witness.
Unless these were special ops clansmen who rappelled down from a helicopter then vanished into the night like highly trained Navy SEALs, there would be lots of evidence left behind.
And yet, oddly enough, we've heard nothing about this case since it happened.
No video has been released.
No witnesses have come forward.
No one, so far as I know, on social media has said, hey, I saw these guys, I thought it was weird how they were lugging lighter fluid around at 1 a.m.
Nothing.
Well, I shouldn't say nothing.
Amanda Prestigiacomo at the Daily Wire has the update, such as it is, quoting from a report in the Wisconsin State Journal, which reached out to the Madison police last week.
And here's what spokesman Joel Despain said as an update.
This is the latest we've gotten.
The update is, there is nothing new to release at this time.
That's it.
That's all they said.
Okay.
Well, thanks, Joel.
But how is there no new information?
It's been seven weeks.
Did you check the tapes?
Did you talk to witnesses?
There's got to be some information there, right?
And if you check the tapes and talk to people and witnesses and came up with nothing, then that also is information.
Really important information.
But you say nothing?
No information one way or another?
You've been investigating this for seven weeks and you know absolutely nothing at all about it?
Really?
How?
Here's another weird thing about this.
There was a confirmed arson attack that same night, only it was carried out not by racists in floral shirts, but by protesters at the city county building, which, wouldn't you know it, is only about a mile from where Althea says this happened.
Is there a connection?
Who knows.
But, you know, you could see how a person involved in an arson attack might get burned and then how they might not want to tell people that's how they got burned.
In fact, the police released an image of one of the people involved in the attack on the building that night.
Notice how they released the footage or an image of this right away, yet seven weeks later and there's no image of Althea's attackers.
But anyway, look what he's using there.
It almost looks like lighter fluid.
I don't know.
Look, I'm just working through this.
It's not like we're given anything to go on here.
So I really don't know.
I'm just sort of trying to figure it out.
But it seems to me this is where we're left and why the Madison Police Department is cancelled.
You know, when it comes down to it.
Either Racist psychopaths who tried to burn a woman alive in the middle of the street are still out there, in the community, hunting for their next victim, and the Madison Police Department is doing nothing to stop them, and hasn't released any footage of them, or even a composite sketch or anything else, and is thus putting lives in danger through their inaction.
Or, this is a hoax.
A really deranged hoax, and possibly a hoax concocted to cover for another crime.
And the police department knows this, or strongly suspects it, but isn't telling us, and is covering for the hoaxer.
Those really seem to be the only plausible scenarios, and I'd say that one is far more plausible than the other.
So, either way, whatever the truth is here, the Madison Police Department is not being honest, is not being straightforward, is trying to cover something, is not doing their duty, and thus is cancelled.
Hate to do it, But they are.
They've left me no choice.
And I still, for one, would like to know the truth about this case.
I don't know about you, but I would like to know.
One way or another.
We'll leave it there.
Thanks for watching, everybody.
Thanks for listening.
Have a great day.
Godspeed.
