00:00:00.000 Today on the Matt Wall Show, pro-Palestine demonstrators descended on the Met Gala yesterday.
00:00:04.260 First, they targeted universities and now Hollywood celebrities.
00:00:06.880 The left's own Frankenstein monster has officially turned against them.
00:00:10.600 And demonstrators also defaced a World War I memorial.
00:00:13.460 Police allowed that to happen because they were too busy protecting the rich celebrities.
00:00:16.960 What does that tell you?
00:00:17.960 Plus, Kristi Noem's disastrous book tour continues.
00:00:21.020 But why?
00:00:21.980 And I don't often make TV show recommendations on this show,
00:00:25.040 but a new reality show out of Australia is unintentionally the funniest thing on TV right now.
00:00:29.060 I have to tell you about it.
00:00:30.100 Finally, Star Wars has introduced another non-binary character that brings up an important question,
00:00:35.040 which is, why is anyone still watching anything related to Star Wars?
00:00:38.480 All of that and more today on the Matt Wall Show.

00:02:03.040 Every year, I'm confronted with the decision of whether to talk about the Met Gala.
00:02:08.200 And it can be a tough decision, if I'm being totally honest.
00:02:10.560 On one hand, it's always easy to point and laugh at rich leftists wearing weird costumes and making fools out of themselves.
00:02:16.640 On the other hand, it's gotten way too easy to do that.
00:02:18.980 And as far as celebrity freak shows go, the Met Gala, it's sort of like the Oscars at this point.
00:02:24.260 It's supposed unpredictability is now cliche.
00:02:27.360 It's zaniness is now boring.
00:02:29.440 Unless mayhem breaks out, say, like an actor slaps the presenter live on stage or something like that.
00:02:35.320 The truth is that no one really cares about any of these events anymore.
00:02:38.040 In fact, I'm still not even sure what the Met Gala is.
00:02:41.200 All I know is that the celebrities dress strangely and then go into, I guess, a big museum.
00:02:47.380 What do they do inside the museum?
00:02:48.940 Is there some kind of award ceremony?
00:02:50.640 Is it a dance?
00:02:51.920 Is it like celebrity prom or something?
00:02:53.740 Do they sacrifice a live goat and drink its blood while chanting satanic curses?
00:02:58.820 Is it some combination of these things?
00:03:01.080 Nobody knows for sure.
00:03:02.540 And most of all, nobody cares.
00:03:04.760 But fortunately, something interesting did happen at the Met Gala last night, or at least outside of it.
00:03:10.200 Mobs of pro-Palestine demonstrators, apparently bored of their tent cities on college campuses,
00:03:15.220 slowly marched through Manhattan towards the Met.
00:03:17.940 And when they arrived, they tore down the police barricades and flooded the street.
00:03:23.400 Watch.
00:03:28.820 Watch.
00:03:30.920 Watch.
00:03:33.180 Watch.
00:03:33.580 Watch.
00:03:33.840 Watch.
00:03:34.620 Watch.
00:03:35.240 Watch.
00:03:36.120 Watch.
00:03:37.580 pot.
00:03:38.980 We'll go!
00:03:56.980 We'll go!
00:03:58.980 We'll go!
00:04:00.980 We'll go!
00:04:02.980 We'll go!
00:04:04.980 We'll go!
00:04:18.980 So I threw in that last clip just for fun.
00:04:20.980 That was Lizzo dressed like something that you might find inside an unflushed toilet at Panda Express.
00:04:26.980 And that's what she wore to the Met Gala while riots raged outside in a clash of poor commies versus rich commies, as Peachy Kinan put it.
00:04:35.980 These riots should also bring to mind, I think, some immediate logistical considerations that the Democratic Party now has to think about.
00:04:42.980 For one thing, it's safe to say that planning for the Democratic National Convention is going through some last-minute revisions right about now.
00:04:49.980 Just imagine being in charge of security for the DNC.
00:04:52.980 You're going to need bigger barricades than they had at the Met and probably a lot more cops.
00:04:56.980 But more barricades and cops aren't going to fix the underlying problem the Democratic Party has created here.
00:05:02.980 There's now a full-on uprising on the left against the elitism that Democrats have long embraced.
00:05:08.980 And the media is getting involved too. Yahoo, for example, has already turned on the Met Gala.
00:05:13.980 They published a piece declaring,
00:05:15.980 The Met Gala's opulence is always gross. This year, it's obscene.
00:05:19.980 Now, the whole article is a rant that hits a crescendo with this paragraph,
00:05:23.980 which is probably the single longest run-on sentence I've ever seen in my entire life.
00:05:27.980 Okay, here it is. This whole thing's in one sentence, just so you know.
00:05:30.980 Even in an era filled with the horrors of late-stage capitalism run amok,
00:05:34.980 bipartisan support for genocide, rolling back of reproductive civil and voting rights,
00:05:39.980 a threadbare social safety net, decades of wage stagnation, tax cuts for the rich,
00:05:44.980 the crushing of unions and labor rights, expansion of the militarized police surveillance state,
00:05:48.980 creeping techno-authoritarianism, untested, unregulated, and unchecked AI,
00:05:53.980 entrenched racial inequality and injustice, right-wing and white supremacist extremist violence,
00:05:57.980 and Boeing jet parts falling from the sky like so many dead whistleblowers.
00:06:01.980 That kind of frivolous urgency promises that this year's event nonetheless will stand out
00:06:06.980 as a vainglorious display of self-congratulatory decadence and tone-deaf extravagance.
00:06:13.980 Now, first of all, just as a stylistic matter, if you're going to make a sentence that long,
00:06:18.980 it needs to be coherent. And Boeing jet parts are falling from the sky like so many dead whistleblowers?
00:06:24.980 It doesn't even make sense. The dead whistleblowers didn't fall from the sky.
00:06:29.980 I mean, they're not being pushed out of planes.
00:06:31.980 One of them shot himself, allegedly, and the other died of an illness.
00:06:34.980 Now, even if you subscribe to the theory that Boeing's hitmen have killed these whistleblowers,
00:06:38.980 which, who knows, maybe they did, the fact remains that they didn't fall from the sky, okay?
00:06:42.980 They died on the ground, so the metaphor just doesn't work.
00:06:45.980 And this is the problem you get into with 100-word sentences.
00:06:48.980 Eventually, you just lose track of what you're saying.
00:06:50.980 In any event, that whole massive paragraph could be summed up as saying,
00:06:55.980 we're living through late-stage capitalism right now.
00:06:57.980 That's what the left-wing media is saying.
00:06:59.980 That's the way that they are framing this.
00:07:02.980 And, of course, late-stage capitalism is one of their favorite phrases to use these days.
00:07:07.980 And they used to celebrate the Met Gala, but not anymore.
00:07:10.980 Now they're saying the same thing the demonstrators are, which is that the frivolous elites are partying while Rome burns.
00:07:17.980 And, which they are, of course.
00:07:19.980 And they're furious about it.
00:07:21.980 Or pretending to be.
00:07:23.980 Now, what the media and these demonstrators don't want to admit is that the elitists at this gala,
00:07:27.980 all of the celebrities who are dressed like slutty Star Wars villains and so on, are on their team.
00:07:33.980 Now, the celebrities are part of the ruling class.
00:07:36.980 The protesters and media critics are its products.
00:07:38.980 And, in some cases, quite literally, its offspring.
00:07:41.980 Now, to be sure, the celebrities and college administrators and politicians are reluctant to acknowledge that their own Frankenstein monster is turning against them.
00:07:49.980 But that's exactly what's happening.
00:07:51.980 Remember that it was two years ago that AOC showed up to the Met Gala with a Tax the Rich gown.
00:07:56.980 There were a bunch of sympathetic news stories highlighting her bravery at the time.
00:08:00.980 And here's how AOC justified showing up to an event that cost $300,000 per table,
00:08:05.980 while equipped with a custom dress, handbag shoes, and jewelry costing more than $2,000.
00:08:10.980 Watch.
00:08:11.980 I know that this dress has a message for this Met Gala.
00:08:15.980 Tell me about what that is.
00:08:16.980 You know, I get the message to Tax the Rich right there.
00:08:20.980 But it's really about having a real conversation about fairness and equity in our system.
00:08:27.980 And I think that this conversation is particularly relevant as we debate both a budget and reconciliation bill.
00:08:34.980 What we're talking about, providing working families with child care, health care,
00:08:38.980 meeting the climate crisis at the scale that it deserves.
00:08:41.980 I think that ultimately, you know, we're at a very critical point.
00:08:46.980 I think there are some folks who are starting to really understand that this is a very critical conversation for us to be having right now.
00:08:53.980 Other folks have a vested interest in not having that conversation.
00:08:57.980 But our point is to keep organizing and to keep it going.
00:09:00.980 It's a really important conversation, AOC says.
00:09:04.980 Some people just aren't ready to hear it.
00:09:05.980 But we need to punish rich people.
00:09:07.980 We need to make them as uncomfortable as possible.
00:09:09.980 We need to, you know, take their money.
00:09:11.980 And that was the message from AOC, who not incidentally grew up in a very well-off suburb.
00:09:17.980 Her whole shtick was always hypocritical and disingenuous, of course.
00:09:20.980 But it turns out that leftist activists were listening to this rhetoric, I guess.
00:09:24.980 They were taking it seriously.
00:09:25.980 We've seen this a lot lately.
00:09:27.980 When Chuck Schumer threatened Supreme Court justice, leftists showed up at the justice's homes.
00:09:32.980 When the White House claimed that trans kids were being abused, a leftist shot and killed Christians.
00:09:37.980 When Democrats accused Israel of genocide, college students occupied university buildings.
00:09:42.980 Now, two years after AOC attacked the Met, leftists are gathering outside of the building.
00:09:48.980 This is the escalation that Democrats have primed the country for.
00:09:51.980 It's now in progress, whether Democrats intended it to happen to them or not, which, of course, they didn't.
00:09:56.980 That's not to say that ruling elites are going to roll over and let this happen.
00:09:59.980 I mean, as you saw in the footage, the cops started making arrests.
00:10:03.980 First of all, showed up in force.
00:10:05.980 And we're making arrests the very second the protesters trespassed through the barricades in front of the men.
00:10:11.980 Like they were on the scene immediately.
00:10:14.980 Now, that's kind of a noticeable contrast when you compare it to other things.
00:10:21.980 Like when these people set up encampments on college campuses, they were given in most cases a few days, maybe a week before the cops moved in.
00:10:29.980 When they looted and burned poor neighborhoods in 2020, they were given about three months to inflict carnage before anyone did anything about it.
00:10:37.980 But when they showed up at the Met Gala, they were given three seconds before the arrest started.
00:10:42.980 So it really shows you kind of how the hierarchy works.
00:10:46.980 The Democrats can't protect the rest of the country from these mobs, nor do they intend to.
00:10:51.980 So last night, in addition to creating a scene at the Met Gala, leftists also vandalized a World War One memorial in New York and torched an American flag in front of it.
00:10:59.980 Watch.
00:11:29.980 So please note again the contrast, the hierarchy, and the fact that this was happening at the exact same time as the Met Gala thing really shows you where the priorities are.
00:11:47.980 When you notice what kinds of illegal demonstrations the police will stop and which demonstrations they'll allow to continue.
00:11:53.980 The mob can deface World War One memorials all they want.
00:11:58.980 Because in doing so, they're communicating their hatred for this country and everything it stands for.
00:12:02.980 So the Democrats who run New York aren't going to stop them.
00:12:05.980 But the mob isn't allowed to inconvenience celebrities at the Met under any circumstances.
00:12:10.980 Now we'll talk more about the vandalism of the memorial in a bit.
00:12:13.980 The point is that this is the hierarchy that Democrats clearly want to enforce.
00:12:18.980 The trouble is getting the mob to respect the hierarchy.
00:12:21.980 And the Democrats are kind of having trouble with that at the moment.
00:12:24.980 Yet they still seem oblivious, the Democrats are, or acting oblivious at least, to the fact that they created this monster themselves.
00:12:32.980 And that's why inside the Met, as chaos unfolded outside, the party continued uninterrupted.
00:12:37.980 And so did all of this associated weirdness, which was as off-putting as it's ever been.
00:12:42.980 Take, for example, this decoy costume worn by someone using the name Carol G.
00:12:47.980 And apparently she wanted to keep her real costume a secret.
00:12:50.980 So earlier in the evening, she sported this beige, umbrella-looking lampshade thing instead.
00:12:56.980 Watch.
00:12:58.980 Let us see!
00:12:59.980 Let us see!
00:13:00.980 Let us see!
00:13:01.980 Move for the power!
00:13:02.980 Let us see!
00:13:03.980 Let us see!
00:13:04.980 Let us see!
00:13:05.980 Let us see!
00:13:06.980 Let us see!
00:13:07.980 Hey!
00:13:08.980 We're on the side!
00:13:09.980 Shakey, shakey, shakey!
00:13:10.980 Oh my god, make yourself known!
00:13:23.980 Who are you?
00:13:24.980 Who are you?
00:13:25.980 We would love to see!
00:13:26.980 So there you go.
00:13:27.980 Like a big lampshade, maybe a jellyfish, sort of a deep sea creature vibe to that as well.
00:13:33.980 Now imagine being a hardcore AOC-loving leftist who sees this.
00:13:36.980 Democrats have spent the last several years telling you to despise rich people and commit crimes in the name of political activism.
00:13:42.980 And then down the street from your hippie commune at the local university, some celebrity is walking around in a lampshade costume, which probably cost, you know, $50,000 or something.
00:13:53.980 And the entire Democratic Party establishment is pretending that it's all normal.
00:13:57.980 What do you do?
00:13:58.980 How would you view the Democratic Party establishment after seeing that?
00:14:01.980 Now as for the costume itself, of course, it's clearly a bid for attention.
00:14:05.980 And I guess it worked.
00:14:06.980 I'm talking about it.
00:14:07.980 But it's not even an original idea.
00:14:09.980 As a lot of people have pointed out, the outfit bears a striking resemblance to a certain shower curtain costume from the film Karate Kid, only with different colors.
00:14:16.980 So there's really no redeeming qualities whatsoever here.
00:14:19.980 It's a total debacle all around.
00:14:20.980 But to be fair, there was at least some originality on display last night.
00:14:24.980 For example, this celebrity apparently walked through a wind tunnel full of roses somewhere before arriving at the Met.
00:14:31.980 And for her trouble, Vogue named her as one of the best-dressed women of the evening.
00:14:36.980 Watch.
00:14:38.980 ...did me a really, like, wonderful favor by making this gorgeous piece.
00:14:43.980 It is stunning.
00:14:44.980 The imagination and the detail that have gone into it are beyond.
00:14:48.980 And the sort of interpretation of what it is to move through the Garden of Time,
00:14:53.980 and the way everything sort of, like, degrades as time goes on, and what comes from these gardens.
00:14:59.980 We have, like, critters and bugs.
00:15:00.980 It is so good.
00:15:01.980 This is another look that I'm like should be hung up in the museum.
00:15:04.980 It's really special.
00:15:05.980 You know, we can assume, again, that this woman paid many thousands of dollars for that outfit,
00:15:13.980 which is just a trench coat with flower petals and glitter glued onto it.
00:15:18.980 It looks like something, I mean, it really looks like something my four-year-old daughter might make.
00:15:22.980 As everybody knows, in the mind of a four-year-old girl,
00:15:24.980 anything and everything can be made prettier with copious amounts of glitter and flowers,
00:15:29.980 which is a fine mentality for a small child, doesn't translate very well in this case.
00:15:33.980 And as self-congratulatory as it is, again, there's no self-awareness whatsoever.
00:15:37.980 It's almost as if the entire purpose of the event is to celebrate the elite's total inability
00:15:41.980 to detect how preposterous, self-absorbed, and laughable they are.
00:15:45.980 This is nothing new. It's been the case since the Met Gala was established.
00:15:48.980 It's always been a mini theater of the absurd.
00:15:51.980 What's changed is that the voting base of the Democratic Party
00:15:54.980 isn't laughing along with these clowns as much anymore.
00:15:58.980 They turned against the universities.
00:16:01.980 Now they've turned against Hollywood.
00:16:03.980 What the protesters, of course, don't understand is that they have inherited their own worldview
00:16:10.980 and everything they believe from these very institutions and these very people.
00:16:17.980 Hollywood and academia don't realize that they're being attacked by their own Frankenstein.
00:16:23.980 But the Frankenstein monster also doesn't realize that it is the Frankenstein monster.
00:16:29.980 And if Frankenstein ever wakes up to that fact,
00:16:32.980 well then the ruling class will really be in trouble.
00:16:35.980 Now let's get to our five headlines.
00:16:42.980 Amid the chaos of my daily life, I find solace in my Helix mattress.
00:16:47.980 It's not just a mattress, it's a sanctuary that prepares me for the challenges of the next day.

00:17:42.980 As mentioned briefly in the opening, New York Post reports,
00:17:45.980 anti-Israel protesters vandalized a World War I memorial in Central Park on Monday
00:17:50.980 and burned an American flag after a mob of more than 1,000 marchers was blocked by cops
00:17:53.980 from reaching the Metropolitan Museum of Art, where the star-studded Met Gala was in full swing.
00:17:58.980 At least one America-hating vandal torched old glory at the site of the 107th Infantry Memorial,
00:18:03.980 the base which was defaced with graffiti reading, Gaza, in large black letters.
00:18:08.980 Others plastered the statue's bronze soldiers with stickers of the Palestinian flag that read,
00:18:13.980 Stop the Genocide and the Apartheid Free Palestine.
00:18:16.980 Some of the protesters climbed atop the infantrymen and waved Palestinian flags or draped them over the figures.
00:18:23.980 It should, of course, fill you with disgust and rage to see any of our memorials defaced,
00:18:29.980 especially a veterans memorial.
00:18:31.980 And then especially, and then on top of it, you're burning an American flag,
00:18:35.980 and on top of that, you are defacing our memorials with your foreign flag.
00:18:42.980 And all of this, again, is allowed to happen while down the street, you know,
00:18:48.980 the cops are out in full force making sure that these people don't get anywhere near the celebrities
00:18:55.980 in their umbrella costumes and all of that.
00:18:58.980 Now, as to burning the flag, you know, the Supreme Court ruled that,
00:19:03.980 has ruled that burning the flag is protected speech.
00:19:07.980 You know, I think there's an argument to be made otherwise, but that's all academic at this point.
00:19:13.980 What I do know, though, is that open burning laws are certainly valid,
00:19:20.980 and they are in place everywhere in the country, and they do not violate free speech.
00:19:25.980 They're especially in place in cities.
00:19:29.980 Okay, like you can't set a fire almost anywhere in a city.
00:19:32.980 I mean, only in the strictest of circumstances can you do that.
00:19:37.980 So if we had leaders who took the law seriously and took the flag seriously,
00:19:41.980 okay, they would allow you to burn the flag on your own property.
00:19:45.980 If it is your own property, it's your flag that you bought, and you're on your own property,
00:19:50.980 and you're in a place where you're allowed to burn and all of that,
00:19:52.980 and you're doing it according to those regulations, then nobody can stop you.
00:19:57.980 I mean, you're a scum, you're a scumbag.
00:20:01.980 You're a piece of absolute filth for doing that in this country.
00:20:05.980 You don't belong here in this country if you burn the flag.
00:20:09.980 But according to the Supreme Court, you have the right to do that.
00:20:14.980 But if you're not on your property and you're not where public burning is allowed,
00:20:21.980 then there's no reason to allow this.
00:20:24.980 The cops should show up, put out the fire, and charge you with every crime they legally can.
00:20:29.980 I wouldn't be able to show up to that memorial and light a little campfire.
00:20:36.980 I wouldn't be able to do that.
00:20:38.980 I wouldn't be able to start a fire in a trash can to warm my hands or something.
00:20:42.980 And the Supreme Court decision, again, only protects your right to burn the flag on your property.
00:20:49.980 But burning things on someone else's property or on public property where burning is not allowed
00:20:55.980 and without a permit is arson.
00:20:58.980 And it should be treated as such, especially where the flag is involved.
00:21:02.980 And what is more, we all know that if I showed up to that memorial or anywhere else,
00:21:09.980 and I burned a pride flag, we all know damn well that the fire would be put out
00:21:14.980 and I would be arrested for open burning without a permit
00:21:17.980 and with whatever other crime they could find to charge me with.
00:21:20.980 In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if I was charged with a hate crime.
00:21:23.980 I would probably be charged with a hate crime.
00:21:26.980 That's because our leaders value the pride flag more than they value our national flag.
00:21:31.980 Indeed, they considered the pride flag to be our national flag.
00:21:35.980 And another point on defacing the memorial.
00:21:42.980 Now, when I first saw this, and of course this is far from the first time we've seen a memorial,
00:21:48.980 a statue, a monument being defaced.
00:21:52.980 But my first thought when I saw this was that it's just shameful that there is really no current elected Republican,
00:22:01.980 or there are very few, who have called for a law prescribing, let's say, a decade in prison
00:22:07.980 for anyone who defaces, vandalizes, destroys, or tears down one of our monuments.
00:22:12.980 That there should be, everybody should be calling for that.
00:22:17.980 Every Republican elected official should be calling for that.
00:22:20.980 There would be wide public support for something like that.
00:22:24.980 But then I discovered that it's actually worse than that.
00:22:28.980 Because there already is such a law on the books.
00:22:31.980 Now, you'd be excused for not knowing that this law exists, just like I didn't know that it exists,
00:22:36.980 because it's not being enforced.
00:22:37.980 Like, it might as well not exist, because it's not being used.
00:22:42.980 But the Veterans Memorial Preservation and Recognition Act of 2003
00:22:46.980 actually does call for 10 years in prison for people who deface veterans' memorials.
00:22:52.980 And that's what these free Palestine demonstrators did.
00:22:56.980 The law is already in place.
00:23:01.980 And so, how many Republicans have specifically called for that law to be actually enforced?
00:23:09.980 Like, let's, the law is there.
00:23:12.980 Why are we not arresting these people and giving them 10 years in prison?
00:23:17.980 The law, we can.
00:23:19.980 They're defacing a veterans' memorial.
00:23:21.980 And, again, there'd be wide approval for it.
00:23:26.980 Very few people would, you know, not only just a, it's not like people would be okay with it.
00:23:31.980 I mean, the vast majority of Americans would say, thank God, finally.
00:23:37.980 And if whoever you're putting in jail for 10 years, if they started crying about it,
00:23:41.980 and they tried to do some interviews and, you know, most of us would say, okay, cry some more.
00:23:45.980 Like, I'm glad, give them another 10 years.
00:23:47.980 Oh, my life's destroyed.
00:23:50.980 You're putting me, good, I'm glad your life's destroyed.
00:23:51.980 I'm glad it's destroyed.
00:23:53.980 Like, that's what we should start doing.
00:23:56.980 The people who treat our monuments and our memorials this way, we should, their lives should be destroyed.
00:24:01.980 Like, that should be the kind of choice that totally changes the trajectory of your entire life.
00:24:07.980 You should spend the rest of your life regretting it.
00:24:08.980 And if that makes you squeamish at all, I don't know why it would, but if you're one of the few people who'd feel squeamish about that,
00:24:16.980 rather than just taking great joy in seeing the tears of someone like that being thrown in prison,
00:24:22.980 I think most people would just, it'd be amazing.
00:24:24.980 You'd pop champagne, love it.
00:24:27.980 Your sadness and suffering is, I love it.
00:24:29.980 I love every second of it.
00:24:30.980 But if you do feel squeamish about it, the good news for you is that you'd only need to do that to like one person,
00:24:36.980 and then never again, because none of these punks would ever do it again.
00:24:43.980 But how many Republicans have specifically called for that law to be enforced?
00:24:48.980 Not even a new law, just enforce the existing one.
00:24:51.980 Now, Donald Trump did call for that.
00:24:56.980 Actually, he signed an executive order for that to that effect back in the summer of 2020, as you may or may not recall.
00:25:02.980 But obviously, that went out the window when Biden took office.
00:25:06.980 So now we need to actually enforce the law.
00:25:08.980 And I would add a new law that extends the protections to all of our monuments and memorials.
00:25:14.980 Yes, we should protect veterans' monuments and memorials, but all of them.
00:25:17.980 If it's a statue of a founding father, of any other historical figure, any of our historical heroes, they should all be protected.
00:25:28.980 And it would be enormously popular.
00:25:31.980 A measure like that would be enormously popular.
00:25:36.980 So why isn't it happening?
00:25:37.980 I know why Democrats aren't doing it.
00:25:40.980 I know why they're not.
00:25:42.980 I also know that if you were to write a law like this, try to pass a law like this right now, it would never be signed by Joe Biden.
00:25:51.980 But let him not sign it.
00:25:54.980 Put him in a position where he has to say, you know what, I'm not going to sign a law that actually protects our monuments and memorials.
00:26:05.980 I want to allow people to continue doing this.
00:26:11.980 Put Democrats in a position where they have to vote against it.
00:26:16.980 Put them in that position.
00:26:19.980 It's like, it's a win-win.
00:26:22.980 Why not do it?
00:26:23.980 We've been following the implosion of Kristi Noem's political career that all began with her memoir, where she brags about killing her dog and a goat.
00:26:34.980 And I don't know, maybe other animals as well.
00:26:37.980 Every time we hear more about this book, there's another animal that apparently lost its life.
00:26:43.980 And then evidently, she made up some stories about meeting world leaders and that sort of thing.
00:26:50.980 Yesterday, we played some clips of her disastrous interview on Face the Nation.
00:26:54.980 It was one of the most awkward interviews a politician has ever given.
00:26:57.980 And if you watched that segment yesterday on the show, and if you didn't, go back and watch it.
00:27:02.980 But if you watch it, you know that I'm not, this is not hyperbole.
00:27:05.980 It's like one of the worst political interviews we've ever seen.
00:27:08.980 Right now, I can't think of something worse.
00:27:11.980 Maybe there was, but right now, nothing comes to mind.
00:27:15.980 So just a catastrophe for Kristi Noem.
00:27:18.980 Hilarious for the rest of us, however.
00:27:21.980 And look, I don't mean to harp on this.
00:27:23.980 At this point, it just feels a little mean.
00:27:28.980 But yesterday, it's not my fault.
00:27:32.980 I don't want to harp on it, but she's harping on it.
00:27:34.980 So we have no choice.
00:27:35.980 So yesterday, Kristi Noem did more interviews about this.
00:27:42.980 Like, she's, many more interviews.
00:27:45.980 All day, she was on TV talking about this.
00:27:49.980 And every interview was as bad as that Face the Nation one.
00:27:54.980 So let's go through these.
00:27:56.980 We're not going to play much, but just so you get the point here.
00:27:59.980 So here she is on CBS Morning.
00:28:00.980 So she was just on CBS Face the Nation the previous day.
00:28:05.980 She gets up early in the morning, bright and early, and goes back on CBS for more.
00:28:10.980 And she's back to that same conversation.
00:28:13.980 Let's watch that.
00:28:14.980 She's back.
00:28:15.980 She's back.
00:28:16.980 She's back.
00:28:17.980 She's back.
00:28:18.980 And this is a humane matter according to the American Veterinarian Society.
00:28:22.980 Every state in the country has a law that allows what I did.
00:28:26.980 And the purpose of telling the story was so that people would know I don't pass my responsibilities on to anybody else.
00:28:35.980 Why are you doing this, Christy?
00:28:40.980 Sincerely, why?
00:28:42.980 Why are you doing this to yourself?
00:28:45.980 Stop.
00:28:47.980 There's nobody in Christy Noem's circle who can tell her this.
00:28:51.980 Stop.
00:28:52.980 Stop.
00:28:53.980 Just stop.
00:28:55.980 You've now been on multiple shows defending your decision to kill a dog.
00:29:01.980 This is not a good conversation for you.
00:29:03.980 It's just not the kind of argument you want to have.
00:29:08.980 Even if you're right, there's no winning.
00:29:11.980 It's a lose-lose.
00:29:12.980 There's no win here.
00:29:14.980 Okay?
00:29:15.980 This is what you should always be thinking about.
00:29:17.980 I shouldn't have to tell you this, but if you're a politician especially, you're in the PR game all the time.
00:29:24.980 Like, everything's PR.
00:29:25.980 So what you should always be thinking to yourself is what's the win?
00:29:28.980 Before you say anything publicly, before you do anything, before you publish a book, before you go on and do an interview, you should always think, what is the win?
00:29:38.980 And if there is no win, if there's no way to win in this, then you shouldn't be doing it.
00:29:44.980 Then don't do it.
00:29:45.980 And so what is the win?
00:29:48.980 To go on a show like this and talk about killing a dog for the 15th time in a week, what's the best case scenario?
00:29:59.980 In your wildest imagination, what's the best way that this works out for you?
00:30:05.980 There's no best case scenario.
00:30:10.980 There's a worst case scenario and a worcester, if I can invent a word, case scenario.
00:30:19.980 So why are you doing it?
00:30:20.980 But she kept doing it.
00:30:21.980 Here she is on, this is all the same day, just so you understand.
00:30:25.980 Here she is on News Nation.
00:30:27.980 Okay, I just, but you didn't answer my question.
00:30:29.980 When you record, you posted pictures and videos of yourself recording the audio book.
00:30:33.980 When you recorded your own audio book, you didn't notice this passage?
00:30:36.980 I'm not going to discuss about my meetings with world leaders.
00:30:37.980 I'm not asking you to.
00:30:38.980 I'm asking you about recording the audio book.
00:30:40.980 Did you want to talk about something else today?
00:30:41.980 No, I just wanted to know.
00:30:42.980 I mean, we're just trying to get a straight answer from it.
00:30:45.980 This is Betty.
00:30:46.980 I mean, and I took responsibility for it.
00:30:48.980 The buck stops with me.
00:30:49.980 Is this anecdote I should not have put in the book?
00:30:52.980 No, she doesn't want to talk about anything else.
00:30:53.980 Why would she want to talk about anything else?
00:30:55.980 No one wants to talk about anything but that with you now for the next several months.
00:30:59.980 It's the only thing anybody would want to talk about to you.
00:31:01.980 So, no, she doesn't want to talk about anything else.
00:31:03.980 Nobody wants to hear her talk about anything else.
00:31:06.980 And so this is the line she's using to explain why there's stuff in the book that didn't really happen.
00:31:13.980 The line is, well, I'm not going to talk about that.
00:31:16.980 We're not going to discuss it.
00:31:17.980 It's in the book.
00:31:19.980 So that's not, look, this is the point.
00:31:22.980 It's a lose-lose.
00:31:23.980 There's no win here.
00:31:24.980 But, you know, so you have to settle on what your line is.
00:31:29.980 That line is not winning.
00:31:30.980 That line doesn't work.
00:31:32.980 You can't use that line.
00:31:34.980 I'm not going to talk about it.
00:31:35.980 This is personal.
00:31:36.980 I would never invade the privacy of Kim Jong-un by revealing.
00:31:40.980 You put it in the book.
00:31:41.980 So, obviously, you will talk about it.
00:31:45.980 That just doesn't work.
00:31:46.980 Like, why?
00:31:47.980 You have a line that doesn't work and now you're doing a media tour so that you can say the line as many times as possible.
00:31:55.980 And it continues, again, all the same day.
00:31:57.980 Here she is on Newsmax.
00:31:59.980 So I talk about that decision and I put it in the book because I want them to know that most politicians, they hide from the truth.
00:32:07.980 They run away from making tough decisions.
00:32:09.980 And I don't do either of those.
00:32:11.980 I take my responsibility.
00:32:12.980 I don't ask anybody else to do the tough decisions and make those hard decisions for me.
00:32:17.980 Okay.
00:32:18.980 It's not about hiding from the truth.
00:32:20.980 But you don't have to say everything.
00:32:24.980 Like, the truth that you killed your dog is no one said you had to hide from it, but you also don't have to bring it up.
00:32:29.980 There's so many things you don't bring up publicly as a politician or any kind of public figure.
00:32:33.980 There are so many things about yourself and about your life and about your history that you don't go around telling people all the time.
00:32:39.980 Like, the majority of things that you have ever done and said you don't talk about publicly just because why would you?
00:32:46.980 So, put that in the category of stuff you don't talk about publicly.
00:32:50.980 Well, it's a little bit late now.
00:32:51.980 Finally, just so we can round out, this is, I think this is how she ended the night.
00:32:55.980 Once again, all the same day.
00:32:57.980 And she ended with Fox News.
00:33:00.980 And I understand that they're attacking me for it, Jesse.
00:33:03.980 Yeah, they are.
00:33:04.980 So, they're also attacking you.
00:33:05.980 I guess you said you met Kim Jong-un.
00:33:07.980 Mm-hmm.
00:33:08.980 Did you meet him?
00:33:09.980 I've been to the DMZ.
00:33:10.980 I've been to North Korea.
00:33:11.980 You know, people, I don't talk about my conversations with world leaders.
00:33:14.980 And so, when I looked at the book and I saw that excerpt, I decided to make the change to the content of the book and that's been done.
00:33:23.980 So, you didn't have a conversation with Kim when you were at the DMZ?
00:33:26.980 I don't have conversations about my conversations with world leaders.
00:33:29.980 I've been working on policy for 30 years, Jesse.
00:33:32.980 And that's what most people don't remember about me is I'm old.
00:33:35.980 I'm a mom.
00:33:36.980 I'm a grandma.
00:33:37.980 I've got three little grand babies.
00:33:38.980 You're not that old.
00:33:39.980 So, maybe you did have a conversation with Kim, but you don't want to talk about it.
00:33:42.980 I will not talk about my personal conversations with any world leaders.
00:33:45.980 It just won't.
00:33:46.980 And I'm not going to do it.
00:33:47.980 Okay.
00:33:48.980 And so, she says, this is the line she's come up with for the Kim Jong-un bit.
00:33:55.980 Well, did you meet Kim Jong-un?
00:33:57.980 Well, I've been to North Korea.
00:33:59.980 I've been around North Korea.
00:34:00.980 I've seen it.
00:34:01.980 I've heard of it.
00:34:05.980 Did you meet the president of China?
00:34:08.980 Well, I've been to P.F. Chang's.
00:34:11.980 I've been.
00:34:12.980 I've been.
00:34:13.980 I've had Chinese food.
00:34:16.980 Was that your question?
00:34:17.980 Egg rolls?
00:34:19.980 If that's what you meant.
00:34:20.980 If that's what you meant by that question, that's my answer.
00:34:24.980 All on one day.
00:34:25.980 And this is after she did a couple of other interviews about the book that already went
00:34:29.980 very poorly and resulted in ridicule from both sides of the aisle.
00:34:33.980 This is what she does.
00:34:34.980 She keeps going.
00:34:35.980 And she keeps appearing on shows where she knows she's going to be asked why she put fake
00:34:40.980 stories about meetings with world leaders in her book.
00:34:42.980 And why she killed the dog and the goat and whatever other animals she killed.
00:34:46.980 None of these conversations are good politically.
00:34:49.980 There's no good answer.
00:34:51.980 There's especially no good answer for why there's fake stories in the book.
00:34:55.980 Like there's no.
00:34:56.980 I don't know.
00:34:57.980 What's the good way to handle that?
00:34:58.980 I don't.
00:34:59.980 I don't know.
00:35:00.980 There's really.
00:35:01.980 The answer she's giving is bad.
00:35:02.980 I couldn't even tell you a better answer.
00:35:04.980 Cause it's one of those situations where it's like, well, you got me.
00:35:11.980 Um, maybe that if you feel like you feel like you have to say anything at this point,
00:35:15.980 it's probably what you should say.
00:35:16.980 It's what you should have said from the beginning.
00:35:17.980 Probably.
00:35:18.980 He says, all right, look, okay.
00:35:20.980 You know what?
00:35:21.980 Nevermind.
00:35:22.980 Never forget the whole book thing, guys.
00:35:23.980 Forget it.
00:35:24.980 Buy it.
00:35:25.980 The book sucks.
00:35:26.980 I, I sorry, whatever it books.
00:35:28.980 It's mostly made up.
00:35:29.980 You know, it doesn't, I didn't even want to make the book.
00:35:31.980 I didn't even write it.
00:35:32.980 It's the ghostwriter wrote it.
00:35:33.980 So that would be like, that's not a great answer, but it is true.
00:35:39.980 It's honest.
00:35:40.980 And so it's probably your best answer at that point.
00:35:43.980 What I want to know is who on Kristi Noem's team is advising her to do a relentless media
00:35:48.980 campaign where she's continually forced to relive and rehash this extremely embarrassing
00:35:54.980 episode.
00:35:55.980 Who is advising her on this?
00:35:57.980 It's remarkable to me.
00:35:59.980 The amount of bad PR advice out there is just, it's incredible.
00:36:06.980 Like hire me to help you with PR.
00:36:09.980 I'll do it for free, Kristi.
00:36:11.980 I will, I will help you for free.
00:36:13.980 Like, let's think about the situation.
00:36:15.980 Let's rewind.
00:36:16.980 You have a book coming out.
00:36:18.980 Some excerpts from the book start getting released.
00:36:21.980 One of them is about killing your dog.
00:36:24.980 The story is very, very poorly received by the public.
00:36:28.980 Doesn't matter if you think that it should be better received.
00:36:30.980 Doesn't matter.
00:36:31.980 Doesn't matter.
00:36:32.980 Doesn't matter.
00:36:33.980 It's, it's not being well received.
00:36:34.980 The public doesn't like it.
00:36:35.980 They're very upset about it.
00:36:36.980 Doesn't matter if you think they shouldn't be upset about it.
00:36:38.980 They are.
00:36:39.980 And you're not going to change that.
00:36:40.980 So you're getting a lot of extremely negative attention.
00:36:43.980 What's more at this point, you know, it's like the books getting negative attention.
00:36:48.980 You know, there are other things in the book that could also be problematic.
00:36:52.980 Not only that, but you also know that you really, you actually leaned into the animal killing bit a lot.
00:36:59.980 Okay.
00:37:00.980 So you're, you're in a situation that I, that I imagine.
00:37:02.980 It's like, I don't know if you're a standup comedian and you've got a whole set and all the jokes are kind of on a similar theme and the first joke bombs.
00:37:09.980 And then you probably, you're probably standing there thinking like, oh my gosh, this is, this is, if you don't, if they don't like this joke, they're going to hate.
00:37:14.980 I'm, I'm doomed.
00:37:15.980 Cause every joke is like that.
00:37:17.980 And, um, so she's in that situation where it's like, she thought that the animal killing bit would, would kill.
00:37:23.980 She thought, I mean, you know, fake figuratively and literally, uh, she thought that the animal killing bit would do well.
00:37:29.980 She thought people would love it and, and they didn't like the first glimpse of it that the public got, they hated it.
00:37:36.980 And now she's sitting there here with a book and she's thinking like, oh my gosh, I have whole chapters about this.
00:37:41.980 I, I end the book with a fantasy of killing Joe Biden's dog.
00:37:46.980 I thought the public would love this stuff and they hate it.
00:37:49.980 Like, what am I going to do?
00:37:50.980 I, I, so that's the situation she was in.
00:37:53.980 And then you start thinking about, oh, I've got excerpts that from the book that are made up.
00:37:58.980 Like it's, it's a disaster.
00:38:00.980 What do you do?
00:38:01.980 Well, there's no good options.
00:38:02.980 There's no positive spin.
00:38:03.980 Uh, the book's a disaster.
00:38:05.980 It was a mistake.
00:38:06.980 You never should have done the book.
00:38:08.980 Face it.
00:38:09.980 Someone in her team should have told her this.
00:38:11.980 Like, it's just, this was a mistake.
00:38:13.980 The whole thing's a mistake.
00:38:14.980 It's really bad.
00:38:15.980 It's very, very bad for you.
00:38:16.980 So now your only option, move on from it as quickly as you can.
00:38:19.980 You have no other choice.
00:38:21.980 Doing a media tour to justify killing your dog is a, is that's not a win.
00:38:25.980 That's a loss.
00:38:26.980 Uh, justifying the made up stuff in the book.
00:38:29.980 That's, that's not a win.
00:38:30.980 You can't do that.
00:38:31.980 Just have to move on.
00:38:32.980 Do one friendly interview, which she already did with Sean Hannity.
00:38:36.980 Have your, have whatever your, your canned responses.
00:38:40.980 And then never talk about the book again.
00:38:42.980 Your publisher's not going to like it.
00:38:44.980 They may even try to sue you because they're going to breach a contract because you're,
00:38:47.980 you know, it's your obligation to promote the book.
00:38:49.980 You come up with a deal with them.
00:38:51.980 You pay back the advance, whatever.
00:38:53.980 You figure something out behind the scenes and then you just move on and never talk about it again.
00:38:56.980 Um, the good news is that we all say that she's destroyed her political career and she has like the political career she wanted has been destroyed.
00:39:05.980 She wanted to be vice president.
00:39:06.980 Not going to happen.
00:39:07.980 Not ever just not going to ever happen.
00:39:09.980 But, you know, the truth is that she could still have some kind of political career.
00:39:12.980 She'd probably run for Senate one day or something if she wants to, and maybe even win.
00:39:16.980 Because the advantage that you have, that any politician has, or anybody in general has, is that, is that nothing matters in our society.
00:39:26.980 Like nobody remembers anything.
00:39:27.980 Nobody cares about anything for more than 45 seconds.
00:39:30.980 Uh, something that happened a month ago may as well been a year ago.
00:39:33.980 Uh, a year might as well be a century.
00:39:35.980 Like we're all living, you know, that scene in the, in the Christopher Nolan, uh, interstellar when they're on that, the planet with, with, with, has a strong gravitational force and it warps time.
00:39:44.980 And so every minute on the planet is like a year on earth.
00:39:47.980 And it's like, that's sort of the, the reality we're all living in every day where every minute might as well be a year.
00:39:52.980 Um, so you, you, you can actually survive anything, but you just have to stop talking about it.
00:40:02.980 Just stop talking about it.
00:40:04.980 And, and, and go away and don't say anything, you know, seven, eight months from now, you can reemerge from hibernation.
00:40:13.980 Nobody will care anymore.
00:40:14.980 Uh, I want to talk about this in the headlines, except that it's not really a headline.
00:40:22.980 It's actually a TV show recommendation.
00:40:24.980 Uh, if you're looking for something to watch, I've got a, um, I've got a recommendation for you.
00:40:29.980 Um, you know, at least I thought, I thought this wasn't a headline, but the daily mail.
00:40:33.980 So I thought I was like, I don't know where I can put this in the show.
00:40:36.980 The daily mail has come along and bailed me out because actually somehow my opinion of this TV show.
00:40:42.980 But I'm going to tell you about, uh, is headline news.
00:40:46.980 Uh, apparently, uh, I mentioned it on Twitter a few days ago and the daily mail just reported on my opinion of this TV show.
00:40:54.980 For some reason, I'll tell you the headline in a second, but first I just want to tell you about the show.
00:40:58.980 Um, so my wife and I, we love, uh, the reality show called alone, which maybe you're familiar with.
00:41:05.980 And if you're not, it's maybe the only true reality show that's ever existed.
00:41:10.980 And the basic premise is that 10 experienced, skilled survivalists are dropped off alone in a remote, uh, spot in the wilderness.
00:41:19.980 And the game is pretty simple. They have to survive out in the woods, build their own shelter, find their own food, all that kind of stuff.
00:41:26.980 And if they've had enough, they can't do it anymore.
00:41:28.980 They have a satellite phone that call a rescue team comes evacuates them.
00:41:31.980 Whoever stays in the woods, the longest wins.
00:41:34.980 And they win, I think half a million dollars or something, uh, no camera crew.
00:41:37.980 They have to film everything themselves. So it, you know, it's a good show.
00:41:40.980 It's not super exciting all the time. Cause it's actually reality. Like they don't, the producers aren't there.
00:41:44.980 It's not survivor or something, or the producers are there setting up challenges.
00:41:48.980 And you've got the, uh, the, uh, soap opera disputes between contestants.
00:41:52.980 They're not even around each other. So you don't have any of that.
00:41:55.980 It actually gets kind of boring through wide stretches of the show, which is what I like about it.
00:42:01.980 Because I'm, I'm weird like that.
00:42:03.980 And anyway, we found out that that's not the recommendation.
00:42:07.980 I mean, you should watch that show if you haven't seen it, but we found out there's an Australian version of this show.
00:42:13.980 Um, and it's alone, Australia is what it's called.
00:42:17.980 Uh, and the, the, the American version has been around for like 10 years.
00:42:21.980 And they just started last year with the Australian version.
00:42:24.980 Now I've happened to cross the fact that the show exists.
00:42:28.980 And I thought, oh, you know, that sounds great.
00:42:32.980 Like, first of all, surviving in Australia would be pretty tough.
00:42:35.980 You think like Australia is a, uh, is a, is a dangerous place.
00:42:39.980 And I also thought Australians are a hardy people.
00:42:42.980 You know, uh, uh, I bet they could survive for months without tapping out.
00:42:46.980 Usually on the American version, you know, the, the winner survives 90 days, maybe at most a hundred days at most.
00:42:53.980 Um, I thought Australians like they could, this, this show will go on for six years and they won't tap out.
00:42:58.980 I mean, this, this will be really interesting.
00:43:00.980 So we started watching it and it is good.
00:43:06.980 Like it's great actually, but for a completely different reason for the opposite reason.
00:43:11.980 It's the opposite of what I expected, which makes it unintentionally like the funniest show that I've ever seen.
00:43:18.980 Because apparently the producers of the Australian version of alone decided that making alone Australia isn't really what they wanted to do.
00:43:27.980 What they wanted to do is they wanted to make alone DEI edition.
00:43:30.980 That's what they decided.
00:43:32.980 And they should have just called it that.
00:43:34.980 Like, if you call it that, then this show, you know, you'll have 10 million people watching the show.
00:43:37.980 I mean, this would be, I wouldn't have to tell you about the show.
00:43:40.980 You'd already, if you would have already heard about it.
00:43:42.980 Um, but that's what they did.
00:43:44.980 So they got 10 contestants, just like the American version.
00:43:46.980 And, but they did not get like gritty skilled survivalist types.
00:43:51.980 They were more concerned with checking all the PC boxes.
00:43:54.980 So they ended up with two lesbians, uh, two people who claimed to be indigenous.
00:43:58.980 This like Gen Z environmentalist guy.
00:44:00.980 And, um, other people like most of whom are totally unqualified for wilderness survival.
00:44:05.980 Uh, at all.
00:44:08.980 And I don't want to give any spoilers spoilers.
00:44:11.980 I've only watched a few episodes of the show, but I spoiler alert.
00:44:14.980 Um, one of the lesbians dropped out after one night, started crying and dropped out after one night.
00:44:21.980 Um, one of the indigenous guys, this is my favorite thing.
00:44:24.980 Like at least just watch the second episode of the show.
00:44:26.980 It's, it's hilarious.
00:44:27.980 This indigenous guy, he spends the whole first day like going on and on about how he's indigenous
00:44:32.980 and he's in touch with nature and you know, he can do this cause he's indigenous.
00:44:36.980 Oh, by the way, did you know I'm indigenous?
00:44:37.980 I'm indigenous.
00:44:38.980 I'm so indigenous.
00:44:39.980 I'm the most indigenous, indigenous guy of all time.
00:44:41.980 And then, uh, he starts crying and drops out after 24 hours, uh, because he was lonely.
00:44:47.980 Secondly, the Gen Z guy, I'm not making this up.
00:44:50.980 I'm, I swear to you, I'm not making this up.
00:44:52.980 The Gen Z guy is like 22 years old.
00:44:55.980 He takes a COVID test out in the wilderness with a COVID test and it comes back positive.
00:45:04.980 And he immediately calls the med team to evacuate him and starts complaining that his heart is
00:45:10.980 racing.
00:45:11.980 And he's, he's like, they're there.
00:45:13.980 They, the, the med team comes in on their, their boat and they, they take him out and
00:45:16.980 he's curled up in the boat, like shivering.
00:45:18.980 And he just tested positive for COVID three, three minutes ago.
00:45:22.980 Um, this was all on the first day.
00:45:25.980 They, they, they lost three people on the first day, all of them crying.
00:45:29.980 Like I could do better than this.
00:45:31.980 I could at least, I have very few, uh, skills, survival skills of this type in the woods,
00:45:36.980 but I could, I mean, I could hack it for a few days at least.
00:45:40.980 Uh, and you, you could just go down to Walmart and choose 10 people at random and they would
00:45:46.980 do better than these people are doing.
00:45:48.980 And, uh, another guy, another guy.
00:45:52.980 So there's another indigenous guy.
00:45:54.980 Uh, so the one guy's gone now.
00:45:55.980 There's another guy who, by the way, looks totally.
00:45:58.980 He's just a white guy.
00:45:59.980 He's a complete white guy who keeps talking about how indigenous he is and, uh, and all
00:46:05.980 of his indigenous survival skills.
00:46:07.980 Well, there's one scene.
00:46:08.980 I think this is in the second episode where he picks up a millipede, you know, like a
00:46:14.980 little millipede and it's, it's bright, bright colored millipede and he eats it.
00:46:19.980 He tries to eat it and it makes his tongue, tongue numb.
00:46:22.980 And he spits it out because it's toxic because it's a millipede.
00:46:27.980 You don't eat though.
00:46:28.980 Anything that's has that many legs, you don't eat it.
00:46:30.980 Of course.
00:46:31.980 And if it's a bright colored insects with many legs, again, even I know that's, you don't
00:46:37.980 eat that.
00:46:39.980 Um, there's a reason why it's bright colored like that.
00:46:43.980 An insect like that could just hang out.
00:46:44.980 It's not worried about anything eating it.
00:46:46.980 Why do you think you were so, it was so easy to catch because all of the animals in the
00:46:51.980 forest are smarter than you.
00:46:54.980 Meanwhile, each, again, I'm not making this up.
00:46:56.980 Each episode starts with a land acknowledgement.
00:46:59.980 That's real.
00:47:00.980 Um, there are all kinds of these woke environmental restrictions.
00:47:04.980 So they aren't allowed to hunt pretty much any game.
00:47:07.980 They can't even use a fishing net because the endangered platypus might get caught in
00:47:11.980 the net.
00:47:12.980 So they can't, they can't eat like they they're all there and they can't eat anything.
00:47:17.980 And on the rare occasion that they do catch something to eat, like with a makeshift fishing
00:47:21.980 line, uh, most of them are vegetarians.
00:47:24.980 So they get really emotional about the fact that they have to eat.
00:47:26.980 Well, one woman, she caught an eel and she was really sad.
00:47:29.980 She was like crying while she was beating the eel to death because she's a vegetarian.
00:47:34.980 And then she ate it and was like, it's trying to stifle her vomit while she's eating this,
00:47:39.980 this poor creature.
00:47:40.980 It's just, I'm telling you, it is, uh, it's just, it's a bunch of woke, whiny liberals sitting
00:47:46.980 around crying and starving in the forest.
00:47:49.980 It's so, it's great.
00:47:50.980 Um, there are two contestants on the show who actually know what they're doing and are like,
00:47:56.980 are gonna, it's what usually within this shit, when you watch the American version of
00:48:00.980 the show, you never know exactly who's going to win.
00:48:02.980 And with this one, there are two people and you watch the show for five minutes.
00:48:06.980 You're like, okay, it's gonna be one of them.
00:48:07.980 Like, obviously it's one of them, uh, because they know what they're doing.
00:48:10.980 They know how to, how to build the basic survival structures and they have a good attitude.
00:48:14.980 Like they have some stoicism to them.
00:48:15.980 They're not crying the whole time.
00:48:17.980 And, uh, so I highly recommend it.
00:48:21.980 That's my take on the show.
00:48:22.980 And here's the Daily Mail report, just so I can circle this all into the, uh, five headlines.
00:48:26.980 Anti-woke American Matt Walsh unleashes at Alone Australia with blistering review.
00:48:32.980 That was that.
00:48:33.980 I'm not going to read the article because it just repeats everything I just said.
00:48:36.980 Um, I don't know why it's newsworthy.
00:48:39.980 It's actually kind of sad because this was Daily Mail Australia who had this report about
00:48:43.980 me talking about it on Twitter.
00:48:45.980 And I guess in Australia, they're so starved for attention.
00:48:48.980 Like they're, they're so ignored by the world that some podcaster in America mentioning one
00:48:55.980 of their shows is headline news, even though I hated it.
00:48:59.980 So I gotta say, I, and I'm sure there are great people in Australia.
00:49:06.980 Um, but my opinion of Australia, I'm just being honest with you.
00:49:10.980 My opinion of Australians has just plummeted like before COVID.
00:49:17.980 I thought that Australia was first of all, an absolute hellscape or poisonous spiders rain
00:49:26.980 from the sky.
00:49:27.980 That part is true.
00:49:28.980 But then I, but I, I, I further thought that because of that, anyone who lives there, these
00:49:33.980 have to be like the toughest sons of on the planet.
00:49:37.980 I really thought that I thought it was just Steve.
00:49:39.980 I thought it was a whole country of Steve Irwin's.
00:49:41.980 That's what I thought.
00:49:43.980 And from COVID and now ending with this, I'm like this, how is, how did Australia, how
00:49:48.980 is Australia the weakest, wokest, lamest country on earth?
00:49:53.980 How is that possible?
00:49:55.980 And if you have this few survival skills, how are you living in the country to begin with?
00:50:01.980 I don't get it.
00:50:04.980 It's amazing.
00:50:05.980 All right.
00:50:06.980 Let's get to the comment section.
00:50:08.980 Comment section.
00:50:09.980 If you're a man, it's required that you grow a beard.
00:50:12.980 Hey, we're the sweet baby gang.
00:50:18.980 First comment says, for this, we don't even need the, what if the races were reversed question.
00:50:22.980 I don't recall national outrage when someone wore a gorilla mask and threw an egg at Larry Elder.
00:50:27.980 Well, that's true.
00:50:28.980 And that's because conservative, you know, conservative white men are the lowest class citizen, but
00:50:33.980 conservative black men and women are somehow a class even lower than the lowest.
00:50:37.980 I mean, just look at how Clarence Thomas is treated.
00:50:41.980 And that's because the conservative black person gets the, is, is hated for being conservative, but also gets the extra heap of contempt because on top of being conservative, you know, they are also judged as traitors.
00:50:56.980 And, and, and, but you're, and you're exactly right that, you know, that, that is something, I mean, one can only imagine if one of these frat boys like did that to a black pro-Palestine protest or what the reaction would be.
00:51:17.980 Next one says, the biggest scandal with Gnome is the plastic surgery.
00:51:24.480 She needs to stop now before she Madonna-izes her face.
00:51:28.520 Yeah.
00:51:28.900 I don't know if she got plastic surgery or not.
00:51:30.820 It does sort of look like it.
00:51:33.980 And, and I mean, again, we're just, at this point, at this point I do feel bad, but like, I also wish that women would stop doing that to their faces.
00:51:45.260 Like, if you're 50 years old, if you're a 50-year-old woman, I think Christy Nellman is in her 50s, just, just be a 50-year-old woman.
00:51:53.520 It's fine.
00:51:54.380 It's fine to be 50.
00:51:56.480 Let yourself be 50.
00:51:57.980 It's perfectly fine.
00:51:59.200 I don't know.
00:51:59.540 I, I, it, you know, with the, with all this plastic surgery everybody's getting, you know, it, it reflects that we live in a very superficial culture and all of that.
00:52:13.500 Uh, we live in a culture that is terrified of aging, terrified of death, because they're terrified of death, they're therefore terrified of aging.
00:52:22.320 Like, that's, that's where the fear of aging comes from, the fear of death.
00:52:25.820 Like, it, it's what makes aging embarrassing to people these days, which, and it's been this way for a while, of course, for, for a long, my whole life.
00:52:34.800 It's like, uh, to ask somebody their age is considered an embarrassing, it's, you're not supposed to ask that.
00:52:39.340 Uh, and we take that for granted, but we should understand that this, historically, it was not the case, that, uh, aging was an embarrassing thing, or that asking someone their age was an embarrassing question.
00:52:51.100 In fact, it was the opposite.
00:52:51.980 For most of human history, in most cultures, um, to, to be older was a sign of, uh, it was, you, you, you're proud of it.
00:53:00.780 Uh, you're, you're an elder, you know, you're now sort of a village elder, and, or an older statesman type.
00:53:06.820 Um, and, and so this was not, this was not a point of shame.
00:53:12.420 And for most of history, the idea that an older person would try to look younger, try to pass off as younger, would be totally absurd.
00:53:21.220 Why would you want to do that?
00:53:24.000 You know, if somebody was 67 years old, and you ask them, um, how old they are, they wouldn't say, well, you know, I've, I've been, I've, I've been 20 for 40 years, or something dumb like that.
00:53:36.440 I'm 67 years young.
00:53:38.160 Like, you, you wouldn't get an answer like that.
00:53:39.660 They'd be proud, proud to be, I'm 67, I've been on earth, I've been on earth for 67 years.
00:53:44.280 Yeah, I'm proud of that.
00:53:45.440 I have all this experience and wisdom.
00:53:49.140 Um, so, that's where a lot of this comes from, but it also comes from, uh, a total lack of honesty.
00:53:57.580 And I think so many of these women who've gotten these, uh, procedures done, that's worked on their faces,
00:54:01.980 no one is being honest with them.
00:54:03.880 No one in their life is being honest with them and saying, don't do that.
00:54:06.320 Like, you will look worse.
00:54:08.280 You look worse now.
00:54:10.860 Uh, don't, this is, don't do it.
00:54:14.920 Even though we all know it.
00:54:17.240 Right?
00:54:18.680 Another comment says, doesn't Noam remember the huge controversy that derailed Romney's presidential bid?
00:54:23.420 Apparently, she, he strapped a crate containing the family dog on the roof of his car for a road trip and traumatized the poor thing.
00:54:31.340 Well, yeah, and this was, this was, uh, of course, years ago, it was well over a decade ago, um, that that was a major controversy.
00:54:39.780 Uh, because even over a decade ago, we were a culture that valued, uh, animal life over human life.
00:54:47.400 It's only gotten worse since then.
00:54:48.740 So it just, it just goes to show how politically, uh, suicidal this whole episode has been.
00:54:53.700 But the thing about that is that the, the thing with the, the dog on top of the car, um, as far as, and I don't remember the specifics of that.
00:55:02.360 It doesn't matter.
00:55:03.980 I don't think that Romney brought that up himself on the campaign.
00:55:10.160 I mean, maybe at some point, how did that come out?
00:55:12.320 I don't remember.
00:55:13.160 Maybe he had mentioned it.
00:55:14.260 I could be wrong about that.
00:55:15.200 But, um, if that did come out on its own somehow, or it was people digging up comments he had made from years earlier,
00:55:24.880 it's much more defensible than, uh, than you being the one who brings it up, especially during a campaign.
00:55:32.360 Finally, I love Matt, but how can he say Noam is bad for shooting an unruly dog, yet he wants to ban pit bulls?
00:55:40.400 Look, if the dog was a pit bull, then I'd nominate her for a Nobel Peace Prize.
00:55:44.180 So, uh, that's the first thing.
00:55:46.640 Although, look, and I've also got many, we talked about pit bulls again a few days ago, and I always get the question of,
00:55:53.700 well, okay, you have this problem with pit bulls, what are we supposed to do about it?
00:55:57.800 Like, what, what, what's your solution?
00:56:00.440 We're gonna go door-to-door and start shooting people's pit bulls?
00:56:04.000 Um, no, I, you know, I, I don't, I don't think that a pit bull ban would necessitate that.
00:56:11.980 I'd be fine with just letting the breed die out.
00:56:14.800 Like, that's how merciful I am.
00:56:16.420 Okay, I'm a merciful person.
00:56:17.520 I'm very merciful and compassionate.
00:56:19.400 Um, I'm very, I'm a very sensitive person.
00:56:21.180 And so, I wouldn't, I think we should ban pit bulls, but I wouldn't, that's not what I'm calling for.
00:56:25.600 I'm not calling for a door-to-door search to find the pit bulls and, uh, and stage mass pit bull executions.
00:56:32.660 I'm just saying, let the breed die out.
00:56:34.020 Like, just ban the, ban the, ban the breeding of the dog.
00:56:39.620 And, um, you can't sell the dog, you can't adopt the dog, you can't, uh, uh, well, after the, you know, sort of like, whichever, the pit bulls that exist right now, they're, that's it.
00:56:52.200 We're, we're, so, it ends, it ends with them.
00:56:54.580 Um, and then we just got to kind of wait it out.
00:56:58.240 And, uh, if you were to do that, then in the next 10 years, like, there'd be no pit bulls left, really.
00:57:05.500 Um, and I think that that's a solution we should all be able to agree on.
00:57:12.260 Court reconvenes tonight at 8 p.m. Eastern, and it is indeed your civic duty to watch my new Daily Wire Plus series, Judge by Matt Walsh.
00:57:19.840 Now, to the astonishment, perhaps dismay of some, my rulings are indeed illegally binding.
00:57:24.540 Step into my courtroom with your petty grievances, and you'll find my verdicts are final, as they rightfully should be.
00:57:30.120 In today's episode, you'll witness maternal discord erupt as a mom accuses her daughter of car theft, with evidence that even I struggle to make sense of.
00:57:38.660 Plus, a heated cat custody battle ensues.
00:57:41.960 You don't want to miss that.
00:57:42.660 Remember, the courtroom is my domain, but entry is exclusive to Daily Wire Plus members.
00:57:46.720 So, make the wise decision, get your membership now at DailyWirePlus.com, and watch me bring justice to the most important cases of our generation.
00:57:56.120 Now, let's get to our daily cancellation.
00:58:03.940 Well, it seems that Star Wars has gone woke again.
00:58:07.740 For approximately the 10,000th time, Star Wars has been used as a vehicle to push a radical left-wing agenda.
00:58:13.580 The Washington Examiner reports, a new animated Star Wars television series features a Jedi who is non-binary, with other characters referring to this Jedi as them.
00:58:22.860 The new Disney Plus series, Tales of the Empire, consists of six shorts, with one of the episodes featuring the non-binary Jedi.
00:58:29.180 It's not the first time the Star Wars franchise has incorporated LGBT characters, as two female characters were shown kissing at the end of the ninth film in the franchise.
00:58:35.800 The scene was cut when the film was released in Singapore and Dubai.
00:58:40.400 In 2021, Lucasfilm unveiled two transgender non-binary characters in its comic book series titled Star Wars The High Republic.
00:58:47.340 Now, that is, of course, a very abbreviated roundup of the wokeness in the Star Wars universe.
00:58:53.020 And we'll get back to that point in a moment.
00:58:54.680 But first, let's watch this scene featuring the non-binary they-them Jedi.
00:59:00.220 Watch.
00:59:01.480 Then come with me.
00:59:02.520 We need to get them to the ship.
00:59:11.620 We can save them.
00:59:12.820 Forget it.
00:59:13.940 Let them die.
00:59:15.460 It's not worth the trouble.
00:59:21.180 They were about to surrender.
00:59:23.520 Irrelevant.
00:59:25.080 The Jedi are a threat to be eradicated wherever they are found.
00:59:29.700 Okay, so apparently the non-binary Jedi is about to die.
00:59:36.320 And I don't know if there's a miraculous recovery after this.
00:59:40.400 I'm not sure what happens.
00:59:41.860 We're left in suspense about the fate of the non-binary Jedi.
00:59:45.600 And, you know, I have to keep referring to this character as the non-binary Jedi because I'm not sure if it's actually male or female.
00:59:51.260 I guess it's neither of those, biologically speaking, because it's a cartoon.
00:59:54.900 But in any event, you know, I find this line to be pretty funny.
00:59:57.960 She says, let them die.
01:00:00.480 She doesn't care if the non-binary Jedi dies.
01:00:02.880 And yet, even as she expresses that level of disdain, she still makes sure to respect the pronouns.
01:00:09.520 So she'll leave you to wither and die, cold and alone and forgotten in the dirt.
01:00:13.300 But she would never dream of using a pronoun you don't like, which is actually a perfect summation of woke ideology and pretty funny in this context.
01:00:21.120 Although it becomes a lot less funny when you consider the fact that this propaganda is in a children's show.
01:00:25.880 And as for that propaganda, the good news is that people are officially sick of it.
01:00:30.700 The Daily Wire reports this morning, quote,
01:00:32.280 A new poll shows Americans overwhelmingly want Disney to return to family-friendly, wholesome entertainment and stop making programming about sexuality and pushing its LGBTQ agenda.
01:00:41.940 In a national survey by Rasmussen reports, 1,255 American adults were polled by telephone and online whether they agreed or disagreed with the following statement.
01:00:51.320 Disney should return to wholesome programming and allow parents to decide when their children are taught about sexuality.
01:00:55.840 The result found that 71% of American adults agreed that Disney should return to wholesome programming and give the power back to parents to decide when their children are taught about sexuality.
01:01:04.860 That number included 53% who strongly agreed with that statement, 22% disagreed with the sentiment, and that also included 10% who strongly disagreed.
01:01:14.320 Now, if you prefer to focus on the dark cloud inside the silver lining, you might point out that the 22% figure is extremely concerning.
01:01:20.500 Sure, 71% of American adults got the answer right, but 22% don't want Disney to put out wholesome content?
01:01:28.980 22% of adults are actively opposed to wholesome content for children?
01:01:35.100 Now, you might say that that's the real headline here, but the good news is that that trend seems to be heading in the right direction.
01:01:41.660 Quote,
01:02:11.980 It's making children's entertainment better.
01:02:15.140 So the interesting thing here is that the number of adults who actively want this kind of woke brainwashing in their children's show has stayed almost the same, dropping slightly from 28% to 22%.
01:02:26.740 Yet you have this massive shift on the other end, and that shift happened because of the middle.
01:02:33.100 In that poll in 2022, 18% said that the propaganda isn't affecting the quality of the product at all, and another 10% weren't sure.
01:02:40.760 So it seems that this chunk, the nearly 30% who couldn't make up their mind or refused to admit that any of this matters, they've been convinced otherwise after seeing how far the wokeness has gone.
01:02:53.460 Now, it's unfortunate that they had to learn this lesson the hard way, but at least people are finally sick of the propaganda, and especially sick of their children being subjected to it.
01:03:03.420 You shouldn't have to get sick of it.
01:03:05.680 You shouldn't have any tolerance for it to begin with, but the trends are moving in the right direction, and so we can at least be happy about that.
01:03:13.660 Now, with that said, let's focus on Star Wars specifically for a moment.
01:03:18.780 And really, this question that I've posed before, and I will again, and it's not rhetorical.
01:03:26.980 I really want an answer for this.
01:03:29.140 Why is anyone still watching any Star Wars-related product?
01:03:34.940 Why are you putting it on for your kids to watch?
01:03:39.100 Okay, Star Wars doesn't just have woke elements in it.
01:03:42.620 The franchise has been at the forefront of injecting left-wing agitprop into entertainment.
01:03:48.720 Out of all the popular entertainment franchises, it is the main culprit.
01:03:54.160 And on top of all of that, it sucks.
01:03:57.220 It's bad.
01:03:59.480 Now, look, even if I were to agree with the rather dubious claim that the original Star Wars trilogy was a cinematic masterpiece,
01:04:08.180 okay, simply for the sake of argument, let's just agree with that.
01:04:12.620 There's no denying that all Star Wars content since the original trilogy has been mediocre at best,
01:04:19.680 and often quite a bit worse than mediocre.
01:04:22.520 So if you're keeping track at home, okay, that means that Star Wars was good, arguably, for about six years.
01:04:30.740 And it's been bad for 40 years.
01:04:35.660 40 years of badness.
01:04:38.660 How many years of badness do you need?
01:04:41.000 Do you need 100 years?
01:04:43.420 Can we check back 60 years from now after 100 years of it sucking?
01:04:50.500 And can you then finally admit that maybe we can move on from Star Wars?
01:04:55.920 Let me ask you this.
01:04:57.320 If you went to a restaurant in 1983 and you had a delicious meal,
01:05:01.540 but every meal you've had at that restaurant since then has tasted like reheated dog vomit,
01:05:08.380 would you still be going to that restaurant?
01:05:11.400 How much garbage would you let that place shovel into your mouth before you got the message?
01:05:17.100 At what point does everyone stop eating at that restaurant that has served nothing but bad food for 40 years straight?
01:05:25.440 Why is the restaurant even still in business with that kind of track record?
01:05:31.560 The original chef who made the good meal 40 years ago doesn't even work there anymore.
01:05:37.060 He's gone.
01:05:37.900 And even he forgot how to cook before he left.
01:05:40.000 And now there's nobody in the kitchen who knows how to cook.
01:05:43.060 They can't even work the stove.
01:05:45.160 I mean, they're serving the food.
01:05:46.300 They're serving your food out of cans, heating it up in the microwave.
01:05:49.880 Like, why are you still going there?
01:05:52.280 And even worse, as they serve the bad food that they heated up in the microwave, they lecture you.
01:05:58.880 Okay, it's all a bunch of feminists and LGBT activists that are working at this place now.
01:06:05.660 It's been that way for 20 years at least.
01:06:08.620 And they hate you.
01:06:10.800 All of the employees openly despise you.
01:06:15.000 Yet they will happily take your money and wag their fingers in your face and scold you.
01:06:19.740 And then serve you a bowl of, like, microwaved canned corn.
01:06:24.620 And charge you exorbitant amounts of money for it.
01:06:27.220 Like, the food isn't even bad in a creative or imaginative way.
01:06:31.600 Imaginative way.
01:06:32.280 It's not even like they, you know, they're trying to cook up new, interesting culinary creations and failing.
01:06:38.900 They're not even trying to be creative.
01:06:40.760 They're not trying at all.
01:06:41.720 They're just serving up the same slop over and over and over again.
01:06:47.220 And they're doing it with a scowl.
01:06:49.100 They are coming over and just ladling out the microwaved corn and cussing in your face.
01:07:00.440 It's like, I hate you.
01:07:01.780 I despise you.
01:07:03.640 You piece of garbage.
01:07:04.700 Here's your corn.
01:07:06.760 And you're sitting there like, thank you.
01:07:09.620 How much will that be?
01:07:10.640 Oh, $67?
01:07:11.840 Well, sure.
01:07:12.080 And here's a 40% tip as well.
01:07:16.160 Keep coming back and giving them your money.
01:07:18.100 Why?
01:07:19.700 Why?
01:07:21.100 Now, I've probably ridden this restaurant analogy as far as I can take it.
01:07:25.400 I think the point has been made.
01:07:27.880 Star Wars is bad.
01:07:29.840 The quality is bad.
01:07:31.740 The writing is bad.
01:07:33.280 The acting is bad.
01:07:34.900 Even the special effects have gotten worse over time somehow.
01:07:41.180 Star Wars has been bad for longer than I've been alive.
01:07:45.380 And now it's hopelessly woke on top of it.
01:07:47.940 The whole franchise is owned by feminists and left-wing activists.
01:07:51.720 People who hate the audience and hate the material that they've been entrusted with.
01:07:57.560 There is no conceivable incentive for anyone to watch any Star Wars content again.
01:08:03.040 Like, I'm not even asking you to boycott Star Wars.
01:08:05.980 I'm not saying boycott.
01:08:07.000 I'm just saying, why?
01:08:08.980 Just don't.
01:08:10.180 It's, there's nothing enjoyable about this.
01:08:12.160 Stop doing it.
01:08:14.280 Every new Star Wars show should have an audience of zero.
01:08:17.320 Every new Star Wars film should make zero dollars at the box office.
01:08:21.300 Have some self-respect.
01:08:23.500 Say no to Star Wars.
01:08:25.760 In the words of the Star Wars character in that clip, let them die.
01:08:30.300 It's time.
01:08:31.040 It's well past time.
01:08:33.040 And that is why anyone who still watches anything related to Star Wars is today canceled.
01:08:41.480 That'll do it for the show today.
01:08:42.400 Thanks for watching.
01:08:42.860 Thanks for listening.
01:08:43.600 Talk to you tomorrow.
01:08:44.120 Have a great day.
01:08:45.060 Godspeed.
01:08:45.380 Bye.
01:08:56.280 Bye.
01:08:56.720 Bye.
01:08:56.820 Bye.
01:08:57.480 Bye.
01:08:58.000 Bye.
