The Matt Walsh Show - Ep. 1482 - Celebrity Endorsements Are Dead, and Kamala Proved It

00:00:00.000 Today on the Matt Wall Show, the Kamala campaign built their whole strategy around celebrity

00:00:04.120 endorsements. It paid off with a crushing defeat, of course, but why are celebrity endorsements so

00:00:08.300 useless now, if not actually counterproductive? We'll talk about that. Also, what's the latest

00:00:12.700 on Trump's criminal cases now that he's president-elect and the media is in the middle of

00:00:16.900 a historic week for news, but still they find the time to attack me for my

00:00:21.340 mean tweets. We'll talk about all that and more today on the Matt Wall Show.

00:00:30.000 After a great week, why not spend the weekend watching The Left squirm a little bit more? My

00:01:14.340 why would you take that risk? Every time you connect to public Wi-Fi, whether it's at a coffee shop,

00:01:18.720 hotel, airport, your personal data is completely exposed. And while the left wants you to think

00:01:24.220 the biggest threat to your privacy is coming from the government, the reality is that any random

00:01:28.380 hacker on those networks can steal your passwords, your bank logins, your credit card details. And

00:01:33.580 here's the truly disturbing part, it doesn't even take much technical knowledge to do this. Some cheap

00:01:46.780 why I use ExpressVPN. It creates a secure encrypted tunnel between your device and the internet,

00:01:51.560 making it possible for hackers to steal your data. We're talking about encryption so strong,

00:02:25.080 There was a mildly successful commercial back in 2016 where LeBron James was promoting Sprite.

00:02:30.860 He keeps looking into the camera and saying, I won't tell you to drink a Sprite. It's supposed

00:02:35.620 to be engaging and funny because you see, normally when celebrities appear in advertisements,

00:02:39.680 they tell you to buy a product. But here you had LeBron James appearing in a Sprite commercial,

00:02:44.420 refusing to endorse Sprite. So it really subverted everyone's expectations. Reverse psychology like

00:02:50.880 this has become popular in advertising because the typical direct, straightforward celebrity

00:02:55.720 endorsement doesn't have the same impact that it once did. This is also why the idea of reverse

00:03:01.360 endorsements, so-called, has become a thing. This is when a company puts a celebrity on its board of

00:03:06.500 directors to make them seem really invested in the company when it's basically a no-show job.

00:03:10.780 Derek Jeter had a reverse endorsement deal with a company called Revolution Wear that makes some

00:03:16.240 kind of high-tech underwear. I don't know how underwear can be high-tech, but it is. And it all

00:03:21.740 fell apart and ended in lawsuits when the company collapsed because the world of high-tech underwear

00:03:26.960 is apparently extremely cutthroat. But the point is, this underwear company thought they'd get more

00:03:31.740 value out of presenting Derek Jeter as a director of the company rather than just going with the normal

00:03:36.780 direct celebrity endorsement. There are about a million other examples of this because the memo's

00:03:41.920 gone out. In the entertainment world, traditional celebrity endorsements aren't as interesting as

00:03:47.360 they used to be. So if you want a celebrity to have an impact, you have to get creative with it. And even

00:03:52.680 then, most people probably still won't care. The only people who haven't gotten this memo are in

00:03:58.540 politics. Political endorsements by celebrities are all the same. They're unconvincing, uncreative,

00:04:05.900 patronizing. And yet, for some reason, pundits and political strategists on the left genuinely believe

00:04:11.400 that these endorsements are game-changing. They think that once the normal person hears one of these

00:04:16.960 endorsements, they undergo a form of mind control where they're hopeless to resist. So I played part of

00:04:23.420 this clip a couple of days ago, but it's worth replaying because it may be the single best

00:04:27.320 reaction video from MSNBC after they realized that Trump was winning. This is Joy Reid trying

00:04:33.620 to process how Trump could have possibly defeated Kamala Harris. After all, Kamala Harris ran a 1.00

00:04:38.120 flawless campaign. And as evidence of the proposition that Kamala Harris ran a flawless campaign,

00:04:43.700 Joy Reid cites all of Kamala Harris's celebrity endorsements. This is footage that belongs in a

00:04:48.700 museum somewhere for future historians studying the downfall of the Democrat Party and the corporate

00:04:53.560 press. Watch. And I think it's important to say that, you know, anyone who has experienced or been in

00:05:02.220 the United States for any period of time and experienced this country's history and knows it

00:05:06.060 cannot have believed that it would be easy to elect a woman president, let alone a woman of color. 0.79

00:05:12.020 Let's just be clear. And nothing that was true yesterday about how flawlessly this campaign was

00:05:19.000 run is not true now. I mean, this really was an historic, flawlessly run campaign. She had

00:05:25.260 Queen Latifah never endorses anyone. She came out and endorsed. You know, I mean, she had every 0.98

00:05:31.420 prominent celebrity voice. She had the Taylor Swifties. She had the Beehive. Like, you could not have run a

00:05:39.860 better campaign in that short period of time. And I think that's still true.

00:05:43.620 So there's a lot to consider in that clip. But I mean, really, at this point, you can't be mad at

00:05:48.260 Joy Reid. Everyone knows that she is what we may call politely a very special person. What's kind of

00:05:55.060 remarkable is that everybody else on the panel, people who are extremely partisan, but not totally

00:06:00.120 clinically insane, maybe not, just nod along when she makes this claim. She's suggesting that a

00:06:07.160 political endorsement by Queen Latifah is so rare and enigmatic that if a candidate should ever obtain

00:06:13.060 it, then that candidate must be blessed by the gods. That candidate is destined to win. I mean,

00:06:19.980 maybe it makes sense at a certain level. She is royalty after all. But that was a moment that should

00:06:25.020 have been abridged too far, even for an MSNBC panel. For one thing, the premise isn't even true.

00:06:29.860 We're talking about the same Queen Latifah who performed at Obama's inauguration after telling people

00:06:33.760 to vote for hope and change. Then she did a skit with Kamala Harris just a few months ago at the

00:06:38.500 NAACP Image Awards, telling everyone to register to vote because otherwise Trump will win.

00:06:44.880 Yes, this is the Queen Latifah that supposedly never gets involved in politics. 1.00

00:06:48.820 But on top of that, even if we pretend Queen Latifah never gets involved in politics,

00:06:52.420 the idea that her endorsements will sway anyone or that it's a sign of a flawless campaign

00:06:58.460 suggests that Democrats are suffering from a level of delusion that is truly unprecedented.

00:07:05.160 That becomes even more apparent when you look at this vaunted Queen Latifah endorsement that

00:07:09.620 they're talking about. She just sits in a chair and instead of talking about makeup,

00:07:13.660 she reads off some talking points from Kamala Harris's campaign. Watch.

00:07:18.420 That looks good. Oh yeah, that's how I want to look when I vote. Fly. Exactly.

00:07:24.820 Because you know what? This is going to be amazing. How's that looking, Roz?

00:07:28.780 Yeah, I like it. I think it looks good. You want the same color lip clean or gloss?

00:07:35.240 All right. Whatever looks good when I vote. I want voting. I want the color of vote. I want the

00:07:41.780 color of freedom. Hey, can you fly me in a little bit of agency?

00:07:48.420 Yeah. Thank you. And I might just need a touch up just over here. A little bit of mind your

00:07:55.500 business and a touch up. I'm a woman. Let me control my old body. Just right there. Yeah. Oh,

00:08:01.360 I was thinking maybe 50,000. So you get the idea. There's Queen Latifah. I don't know. I'm with 0.59

00:08:06.640 Joy Reid. I don't know how that didn't. How did that not totally. That should have been. That should

00:08:12.020 have been decisive. That should have been the end of the election right there. Once you get that video,

00:08:16.660 how did that not get the Rust Belt voters to flood to the polls in favor of Kamala Harris? 1.00

00:08:27.900 Now, one of the many amusing things about this video, or actually the only amusing thing about

00:08:31.780 it, is the comment section and how it differs depending on the platform. So if you go on

00:08:35.740 Instagram, a lot of the comments are pretty supportive. Plenty of people hosting heart

00:08:40.020 emojis and stuff like that, saying it's a powerful message and Queen Latifah is their hero and so on.

00:08:45.320 One person wrote, I'm going to always love you, Queen Latifah. Never change. Then you go on X and

00:08:51.020 it's a completely different scenario. It's like stepping out of a country club and into the Vietnam 0.99

00:08:54.300 War. The top comment is, did you go to the ditty parties too? The next one is, how much were you

00:08:59.860 paid? And then there's another weak man for Kamala. It's just, it's brutal, if also hilarious and

00:09:06.380 completely justified too. It's yet another reason the left wants to destroy X, by the way. People on X

00:09:11.280 generally reflect kind of the mood of the country, certainly a lot more than on other platforms.

00:09:17.120 But if you spend all of your time on Reddit or Instagram, you might end up like Joy Reid. You

00:09:23.060 might've thought that Kamala Harris had this in the bag. After all, Queen Latifah's on her side. 1.00

00:09:27.200 Everyone else on the platform loves it. And then you go on X and everybody's, you know,

00:09:31.740 wondering how much she was paid and whether she was at the ditty parties. Now, to be clear,

00:09:36.280 I'm not saying Queen Latifah was paid for this endorsement. I would never suggest such a thing.

00:09:39.580 But in general, it is worth noting that the Kamala Harris campaign raised something like a billion

00:09:44.420 dollars and they ended the campaign in debt by $20 million. They raised a billion and were in debt

00:09:53.620 by 20 million at the end. They had $120 million in the bank a month ago. And now they're in the red.

00:10:00.300 And a lot of that money probably did go to some celebrity performances and endorsements like the

00:10:06.020 one Megan Thee Stallion did at a Kamala rally. But in any event, it's clear that this was a horribly

00:10:11.500 managed campaign in every respect. So it's not exactly unthinkable that these people truly thought

00:10:15.440 an endorsement by Queen Latifah would help them win. They really seem to think that people wanted to

00:10:21.460 see stuff like that. And that would explain why they courted the endorsement also of Cardi B,

00:10:25.520 who's so illiterate that it actually caused problems for the campaign. Mid-endorsement,

00:10:30.180 her teleprompter went out. So she couldn't say anything until someone ran up with a phone

00:10:34.340 containing her prepared statement. We played this video a couple of days ago, but it's fun playing

00:10:38.220 again. Here it is. One second, guys. One second.

00:10:57.520 Okay. So I don't take lightly the call.

00:11:01.340 Sorry, guys. I'm a little nervous. I'm a little nervous, guys. I've been waiting for this moment

00:11:09.740 this whole life, my whole life. I need patience over here. Patience.

00:11:22.480 She's been waiting for that moment her whole life. She's been waiting for the moment to

00:11:25.820 self-destruct on stage at a campaign rally. Is that what you meant? She's been waiting for

00:11:32.180 Kamala Harris her whole life. Weren't we all? Now, you have to wonder again who this is supposed

00:11:38.020 to impress. I mean, even if she had read all of that perfectly, who exactly is supposed to care

00:11:42.180 about this? What demographic are they targeting? Whatever they were going for, it didn't work.

00:11:47.480 Pretty much the only demographic group that Kamala Harris won on Tuesday, according to exit polls, 0.98

00:11:51.780 was the same group that Joy Reid belongs to, black women. She won by black women by something like 1.00

00:11:57.060 92%. It's a 2% improvement from Joe Biden two years ago. But both of those numbers are actually

00:12:03.080 low by Democrat standards. Obama got more than 95% of the black woman vote back when he ran. 0.82

00:12:10.420 Hillary Clinton got 94%. So if anything, there's some evidence that endorsements like this aren't

00:12:15.880 really helping even among Democrats' most loyal constituency. Now, The Guardian certainly seems

00:12:21.760 to think that there's a good chance that these endorsements aren't helping anymore. They just

00:12:26.400 ran a big article that explores the question of why all these celebrities, from Bruce Springsteen

00:12:30.820 to George Clooney to Taylor Swift, Beyonce, why they may have actually been counterproductive.

00:12:37.000 Quote, a poll from YouGov shortly after Taylor Swift's endorsement found that only 8% of voters

00:12:41.480 would be somewhat or much more likely to vote for Harris, with a surprising 20% saying the endorsement

00:12:46.220 actually made them less likely to vote for her. Yes, as we talked about at the time,

00:12:50.900 Taylor Swift's endorsement might have made people less likely to support Kamala. And there's evidence

00:12:56.380 that this took the Harris campaign by surprise. The article also states that, quote,

00:13:01.100 back in July, Charlie XCX posted a three-word tweet that some commentators thought might help swing

00:13:07.380 the U.S. election. Arriving the day after Kamala Harris announced her bid for the presidency,

00:13:11.700 Charlie's tweet said simply, Kamala is brat. It was a reference to Charlie's latest album,

00:13:16.720 brat, which had dominated the pop-cultural landscape. The overall meaning was clear.

00:13:21.240 Kamala was the presidential candidate with the most energy and authenticity. The Harris campaign

00:13:25.420 leaned into the endorsement, changing the backdrop of its official X page to the same

00:13:29.620 garish green color used on the record's sleeve. Yet, as the dust settles on an extremely depressing

00:13:35.320 election result, I mean, not depressing for me, but not for us, but I guess for them,

00:13:40.200 it appears clearly that not only did Charlie XCX's tweet have no meaningful impact on the election

00:13:44.700 result, nor did the endorsement of any other celebrity. So this was a big problem for Kamala 0.85

00:13:50.300 because to the extent she had a campaign strategy at all, it hinged almost entirely on this,

00:13:56.800 on celebrity endorsements. Kamala was endorsed by all of the most famous celebrities in Hollywood

00:14:02.700 and the music industry. And this was her whole campaign was just showing off the celebrities who

00:14:07.880 endorsed her. And it paid off with a crushing and historic defeat. So why might that be?

00:14:15.920 Well, unlike the panel on MSNBC, I'll answer that question. For one thing, as I mentioned earlier,

00:14:21.660 celebrity endorsements in general just aren't that effective anymore. But they're especially

00:14:25.720 ineffective right now when inflation is high and people are struggling to afford essentials like

00:14:31.380 groceries. In an economic environment like that, Americans just aren't interested in sermons from

00:14:36.880 obscenely wealthy entertainers. Not that they're all that interested even in a good economy.

00:14:42.160 But the other problem is that the power of celebrity in general has been massively watered down in

00:14:47.820 recent years. There are just so many of them that even the biggest ones like Taylor Swift or Beyonce

00:14:52.880 just don't have the kind of culture changing impact that say Michael Jackson or Elvis would have had

00:15:00.280 decades ago. I mean, when a woman can become famous by saying haktua, the whole concept of a celebrity 0.77

00:15:07.760 loses a lot of its luster. This has been obvious to almost everyone for some time, which is why a lot

00:15:16.360 of celebrities have found new ways to endorse products like those reverse endorsement deals that

00:15:20.240 I mentioned. But apparently it wasn't obvious to the Kamala Harris campaign. They believed in all

00:15:25.400 seriousness that amassing a bunch of these vapid cookie cutter endorsements from famous people

00:15:30.400 would win them the election. They thought Americans cared so little about substance that they'd vote

00:15:36.260 for a candidate who can barely articulate a coherent thought, all because of the endorsements of some 1.00

00:15:42.300 other morons who also can't articulate coherent thoughts. After what happened on Tuesday, 1.00

00:15:48.320 there's just no one except maybe MSNBC anchors who seriously thinks that these celebrities have

00:15:56.280 any sway over anyone anymore. Now let's get to our five headlines.

00:16:07.060 You know, we talk a lot about putting our money where our values are. Well, let me tell you about

00:16:11.360 my cell phone company, Pure Talk, and why I made the switch. Pure Talk is veteran-led,

00:16:15.700 and they don't just talk about supporting our veterans. They actually do something about it.

00:16:24.740 to prevent veteran suicide, and they just gave $50,000 to Mike Rowe Works to help veterans learn

00:16:29.820 trades after serving our country. Meanwhile, what exactly are Verizon, AT&T, and T-Mobile doing

00:16:34.620 with your money? Pure Talk gives the exact same coverage, America's most dependable 5G network,

00:16:39.440 for half the cost. You get better service, better values, and you're helping our veterans. It's that

00:16:43.600 simple. Right now, Pure Talk has an incredible offer for my listeners. When you switch to your

00:17:14.560 Fox News has a report about Trump's case in New York now that he's won the election,

00:17:19.520 what's happening with his criminal cases. It's reading now, it says,

00:17:23.520 following his massive election victory, President-elect Trump is still scheduled for

00:17:26.760 sentencing in his Manhattan criminal case later this month with presiding judge Juan Merchan,

00:17:31.960 first ruling whether to dismiss the charges altogether after the Supreme Court's presidential

00:17:35.560 immunity ruling earlier this year. Trump was found guilty of 34 counts of falsifying business records,

00:17:40.300 Trump is scheduled for sentencing on November 26th, which is already a four-month delay from the

00:17:44.160 original date of July 11th. Trump's lawyers have said that has asked the judge to overturn the

00:17:49.000 former president's guilty verdict in New York. In New York v. Trump, after the Supreme Court ruled in

00:17:53.460 July that former presidents have substantial immunity from prosecution for official acts in office,

00:17:57.300 but not for unofficial acts. Merchan is expected to rule by November 12th as to where the charges stand.

00:18:05.300 Collie Stimpson, Deputy Director of Heritage Foundation, Edwin Meese III, Center for Legal and Judicial Studies,

00:18:11.440 says a normal judge would dismiss this case, and then the DA would have to decide what, if anything, remains,

00:18:15.940 so that we could consider rebringing the case. But Judge Merchan has shown himself to be anything but

00:18:20.700 an ordinary judge. And so the catch-22 here is if he was normal, he would dismiss it, but because he's

00:18:25.540 not normal, he'll probably deny it. For all intents and purposes, no matter what happens, if the judge

00:18:29.960 denies it and the appeals court follow the judge and the judge gets to sentence him, even then the

00:18:33.600 Justice Department will come in and say, look, under the supremacy clause, you cannot impose a criminal

00:18:38.700 sentence, especially one of incarceration, on a sitting president. And so that case will be on ice until

00:18:43.920 after Trump gets out of office. So in other words, the case is effectively over. I mean,

00:18:47.740 that's my speculation anyway. Meanwhile, the federal cases are also basically finished. NPR reports,

00:18:57.320 Donald Trump started this year fighting two federal prosecutions that threatened to send him in prison,

00:19:01.220 but he will end it free and clear of his most significant criminal legal problems.

00:19:06.060 With his resounding victory at the polls and a longstanding Justice Department policy against

00:19:09.960 prosecuting a sitting president, the key question is not if, but when prosecutors move to dismiss or

00:19:14.740 delay his federal election interference case in Washington, D.C. Trump recently said he would

00:19:21.340 fire special counsel Jack Smith within two seconds after he returned to the White House.

00:19:25.820 Smith is taking steps to end both federal cases against Trump before the president-elect takes

00:19:30.640 office. So those are out the window. Trump could just pardon himself on the federal charges anyway,

00:19:36.260 so it's a non-issue. I have heard some speculation from conservatives that maybe they would still try to

00:19:42.240 continue with some of these criminal cases somehow, but maybe they would try to throw a sitting president

00:19:50.280 in prison or something, but that's not going to happen. They're already in the process of abandoning

00:19:56.500 these cases, and that only just proves what the perceptive among us already knew, which is that

00:20:02.780 these criminal cases were never really criminal cases. I mean, there were criminal cases on paper,

00:20:07.620 crimes that they were charging him with, absurd crimes on paper, but in reality, they weren't

00:20:15.680 really trying him for a crime because the crime was that he was running for president. That was the

00:20:23.080 crime as far as they were concerned. These cases existed to prevent him from winning again, and

00:20:27.120 really for no other reason. That was the only point of any of them. It was never really about throwing

00:20:33.280 him in jail. I mean, sure, they would have happily done that if they could, but that wasn't the point.

00:20:39.800 It wasn't the primary objective. The primary objective wasn't even to win the cases,

00:20:46.120 which is why people were kind of missing the point where they were saying, well, these charges are

00:20:53.280 flimsy. It can't stand up in court. It doesn't matter. Sending him to jail, winning the case,

00:21:01.620 getting a conviction. Those were all secondary benefits. They'll take that if they can get it,

00:21:06.100 but it's not really the point. The point was just to sully him enough politically that he could not

00:21:12.680 win the presidency again. So they were building a political case, not a criminal one, and we see how

00:21:18.620 that worked out. And you know, it's kind of funny that the general view on the right, I think, is that

00:21:24.860 the criminal cases backfired politically and ended up being one of the reasons why Trump won.

00:21:32.240 Instead of people being turned off from Trump because of the cases, they were more motivated to vote

00:21:37.060 for him. That's kind of what you'll hear from a lot of people on the right. But I think that's not

00:21:41.900 actually what happened. I think that obviously the plot didn't work. Trying to use these criminal

00:21:53.060 cases to destroy his political chances, that didn't work. I also don't know that it backfired

00:21:59.040 though, in that sense. I think that, I think it just had no political impact at all, one way or

00:22:05.720 another. So in other words, Trump would have won just as big, even if they never put him on trial.

00:22:15.100 If none of that ever happened, I think the results would be the same. I think he still would have

00:22:18.820 crushed. I mean, I could be wrong. Who knows? We can't, we can't go back and do it again differently,

00:22:24.900 but I tend to think his victory would have been the same even without the lawfare against him

00:22:29.600 because the lawfare proved to just have no impact. It didn't matter at all in any way.

00:22:35.720 It's like it never happened. And I think that in some ways is, that's the worst fate for the people

00:22:45.880 waging this lawfare against him, for the prosecutors and the DAs involved in all this. The worst fate is

00:22:52.640 that they didn't matter at all. It just doesn't, like it's a, it ends up being not even a footnote

00:23:01.100 in the history books. It just does. It's like, it's a total non-issue. Um, Americans were completely 0.98

00:23:06.900 uninterested, unmoved, bored with the whole thing. And, uh, to me, that's the most poetic justice of

00:23:14.840 all. Even more than it backfiring, I think even better, even more delicious, uh, is that it just

00:23:21.940 didn't, it's like, didn't matter. It didn't matter one way or another. Um, I find that to be pretty

00:23:29.800 fantastic. Well, we've been focused on the national election results, but there was plenty of good

00:23:35.420 news on the local level too. Post Millennial has this report, a California anti-crime ballot measure

00:23:41.140 that would reclassify some misdemeanor theft and drug crimes as felonies got overwhelming support on

00:23:46.640 Tuesday as voters moved to slowly restore law and order following years of failed progressive

00:23:50.520 policies. State proposition 36 passed in a landslide after receiving widespread backing from voters on

00:23:56.700 election day with 70.6% of the 7.6 million ballots counted in favor of the initiative, according to

00:24:03.600 unofficial results from the California secretary of state's office, despite Democrat governor Gavin

00:24:07.940 Newsom's opposition to the measure with which authorizes felony charges for possession of drugs like

00:24:12.880 fentanyl and thefts under $950. If the offender has at least two similar prior convictions, California

00:24:18.840 residents have expressed their desire for change beginning with restoring public safety. Um, meanwhile,

00:24:25.480 in addition to this passing, uh, Los Angeles County voters ousted Soros backed progressive district

00:24:30.220 attorney, George Gascon on election day. And, uh, so he's also out. So I certainly don't think

00:24:39.140 that California will now become some sort of haven for law and order. Uh, it's, it still has a lot of

00:24:44.580 problems, but this is very significant voters. Even in California overwhelmingly said that they want

00:24:50.660 to retreat from the progressive soft on crime approach. They want more law and more order. Uh,

00:24:57.520 they want to punish crime again. And I mean, how do you explain that? Who are you going to blame

00:25:05.220 if you're on the left? Is it racism again? Are the voters in California racist? A huge number of them

00:25:13.160 obviously aren't even white. So these were, these were in large part non-white people in non-white 0.79

00:25:19.800 communities saying that they want more law enforcement and more punishment of law breaking in

00:25:26.660 their communities. And why do they want that? Well, because the alternative is chaos. The alternative

00:25:33.380 is despair. The alternative makes their lives a whole lot worse, which is what these people were

00:25:39.360 experiencing. And this is the basic truth of leftist policy that we've seen play out again and

00:25:46.200 again. It does not work in the real world. Like it's just that simple. It doesn't work in reality.

00:25:54.500 Uh, sounds good in theory doesn't actually work in reality. Now I don't think it sounds good even in

00:25:59.660 theory personally. I don't, I don't think it sounds good at all. Um, doesn't sound good to me. The

00:26:04.560 leftist policies don't sound good to me even in theory, but to a lot of people in the general

00:26:10.220 population, at least in States like California, uh, I guess it, it does at first sound good on paper to

00:26:17.640 them. Like in the abstract, some of these people find it appealing. And that's how things like the

00:26:26.000 defund the police movement, get off the ground. People, some people hear about it. And at first

00:26:34.240 they say, yeah, police are scary. Let's replace them with social workers. That's the, that's, that's,

00:26:41.400 I mean, police are shooting a lot of people. And so if we have, if we replace them with other people

00:26:47.580 who don't have guns and aren't going to shoot people, then fewer people will be shot. And that's

00:26:54.020 good. So that's the way the logic goes in their minds, I guess. Now, again, even in theory, that

00:26:59.880 sounds like a terrible idea to me and it sounds like a terrible idea to you. But if you have a

00:27:03.940 certain mindset and you don't think about the issue for more than five seconds, I guess it appeals to

00:27:08.500 you, but then they do it and they put it in action and the results speak for themselves. The results are

00:27:13.400 always the same. Uh, they make people's lives worse. They bring misery and despair. Those are the

00:27:21.760 results of leftist policies, misery and despair, which is why they are only supported again by

00:27:27.300 people who don't think about them deeply enough and consider them only in theory. And also by people,

00:27:34.420 the elites who, who, uh, know that, that the, you know, for these elites who put these policies in

00:27:41.780 place, they know that the policies will breed misery and despair, but they also know that they

00:27:46.640 personally will not suffer those consequences. So it's the classic thing where you have leftists

00:27:54.020 and gated communities who support defunding the police and Soros prosecutors and bail reform

00:27:59.740 and all of that for the poor communities that they don't live in. Same story over and over again.

00:28:08.960 All right, here's a story. If we could just have one that isn't election related for a change,

00:28:13.400 um, at least might not be, I don't know, but this to me, it seems like a big, I don't know. I just,

00:28:20.280 it seems like something everybody should know about. I have not seen very much reporting on it,

00:28:24.660 but it seems like kind of a big deal. Call me crazy. Uh, 40 monkeys have escaped from a research

00:28:33.240 facility in South Carolina. So that's a real thing that's happening in America right now. As far as I

00:28:39.280 know, I think this is real. I don't think it's an elaborate hoax. Uh, here's the report.

00:28:45.740 40 monkeys that escaped from the Alpha Genesis facility in Yemesee. WJCL 22 News is Kyron Nouveau

00:28:53.800 live in the low country, keeping his head on a swivel with those primates on the run. And

00:28:59.220 of course, this is a public safety alert. Kai, what is the latest on these missing monkeys?

00:29:04.740 Well, Frank, good morning. So yeah, like you mentioned, 40 monkeys escaped from the Alpha

00:29:11.040 Genesis facility. It happened around 9 45 last night and police are asking anyone to just, if

00:29:16.600 they see them to stay away. And that's why we're here at the municipal complex here in Yemesee. But

00:29:20.840 here's what police are doing right now to find those monkeys. Like I mentioned, happened 9 40 monkeys

00:29:25.740 escaped 9 45 last night. And currently police have placed traps all around the area to capture those

00:29:31.140 monkeys. Now, so far, I have no idea what those traps actually look like. And we're trying to get

00:29:34.820 more information about that. But police are also utilizing on-site thermal imaging cameras in

00:29:39.920 attempt to locate these monkeys. Now, the monkeys are used at the facility for biomedical

00:29:45.000 research. And this isn't the first time those monkeys actually escaped from the Alpha

00:29:48.500 Genesis facility. Back in 2016, 19 monkeys made a break from the compound, but they were all

00:29:54.200 captured about six hours later. Now, residents are being asked to lock their doors, lock their

00:29:59.500 windows. And if they see these monkeys, they just stay away and call police. Now, we're trying to

00:30:04.240 make some contact with the local police here to get any update on if they captured and captured

00:30:08.420 any. But so far, we have not heard back. Live in Yemesee, I'm Kyra Neveau. Back to you, Frank.

00:30:13.240 All right, Ky, again, good update, good news. If you see a monkey, if one comes to your door,

00:30:19.360 don't answer it. Call 9-1-1.

00:30:23.120 Don't answer it if there's a monkey knocking on your door. That's a good, that's a good,

00:30:26.180 good advice. I like how the reporter says he's trying to find out what the traps look

00:30:30.100 like. We need to, because they set all these traps out for the monkeys and we don't know

00:30:33.440 what the traps look like. And I guess you need to know that so that you don't accidentally

00:30:37.060 end up in one of the traps. I mean, if you, if you live in South Carolina and you see like

00:30:42.600 a banana under a box being held up by a stick, don't, don't go, don't, bananas are delicious,

00:30:51.020 but don't, don't, don't go try to grab that banana. So this is a, this is a bio lab, a research lab.

00:31:01.080 And 40 monkeys that they were using for research are now on the loose.

00:31:05.640 I mean, this is literally the beginning of like three different apocalypse movies.

00:31:10.680 Okay. This is a, what is this? Maybe more than three, three come to mind. There's a, this is

00:31:16.100 outbreak 28 days later and planet of the apes. So those are options. That's what's that pick your

00:31:26.060 poison, like door one, two or three year for how this ends up. So you've got a fatal disease,

00:31:33.520 uh, a zombie outbreak or monkeys take over the world. That's that. I think if I had to choose

00:31:42.980 between those options, I'd take the planet of the apes apocalypse of if I, if we get to choose.

00:31:49.820 How does he, how does it happen? How do you lose track of 40 monkeys is my question.

00:31:55.720 And it does, it feels like, I'm not trying to scare anybody, but it, it, it, it feels like

00:32:03.700 another one of those things where you hear the story and you go, wait a minute, 40 disease monkeys

00:32:10.340 are running loose. That isn't this a really bad thing. Isn't this a really, really bad? Shouldn't

00:32:15.960 we? And you say that. And then all the media and the experts say, oh no, it's not. Don't worry about

00:32:20.840 it. It's, it's fine. If you see the monkey, don't go anywhere. Don't go within a hundred yards of the

00:32:25.060 monkey, but don't worry about it. It's not, it's totally fine. Um, so it feels like one of those

00:32:30.720 things where they tell us that it's, it's fine, nothing to worry about. And, uh, turns out that,

00:32:34.580 oh no, it's like nothing to worry about except the end of the world. It was the only thing.

00:32:39.180 So I don't know. And look, I'm not, this is not a conspiracy theory. I'm not saying anything. I'm not

00:32:48.980 accusing anyone of anything. I'm just, it's weird timing. So right when Trump was in the process of

00:33:00.360 winning is when the 40 monkeys are somehow escaped from the lab. I don't know. I don't know. I don't

00:33:09.840 know how that happens. I, I, it's, it's weird timing. It's a quick, it's a coincidental timing.

00:33:13.560 It's a heck of a coincidence. Um, so who knows, but look out for the monkeys. If you're in South 0.97

00:33:21.480 Carolina, I want to play this. We've, um, had some fun on the show, playing these videos of

00:33:26.180 leftists melting down over the election results. And it's a lot of fun, good old fashioned,

00:33:31.820 wholesome fun. And, uh, here's one more. It might be the best one, but it's more of a,

00:33:36.480 it's a prequel. This is a, this is a video before the meltdown. Okay. This is before the storm hits.

00:33:43.560 This is a woman, a political analyst. She proudly tells us at about 5 PM on election night

00:33:51.300 or about three hours before the 40 disease monkeys were let loose in America. Uh, and she's

00:33:58.440 still feeling great, feeling confident. And she decided to make and post this video, uh, right,

00:34:06.400 right at that moment. Let's watch. Okay. So we're closing in on almost 5 PM Eastern time.

00:34:13.320 And I've been tracking everything that's been going on across the country today.

00:34:17.100 And my most important encounter was when I went out to get my champagne. Uh, I was talking

00:34:27.000 to the guy in the store, of course, uh, asking him, did he vote? And he said he did early voting

00:34:32.560 and he asked me if I early voted. Uh, and, uh, he asked me, you know, why I was getting the

00:34:40.340 champagne? And I said, because I'm going to be toasting Madam president tonight. And he just

00:34:45.320 looked at me with kind of like a smirk on his face. And I said, you know, she's, she's going

00:34:50.480 to win this. Right. And he says, Oh, well, it's very, very close. And I said, no, it's not.

00:34:55.400 He says, well, what do you mean? I said, no, it's not. The women of America are making their voices

00:35:00.600 heard. Reproductive rights is what it all comes down to. And the women are voting in numbers relative 1.00

00:35:07.200 to men that are unbelievable. She's won this. And I said to him, she's going to take every one of

00:35:12.760 the swing States plus, plus Iowa. And he said, Oh, but the numbers are so close. I said, I'm a

00:35:18.740 political analyst. I'm telling you right now, the numbers are there. She's taking this election.

00:35:24.160 And then I said to him, you realize, and he didn't tell me who he voted for, but of course I knew.

00:35:29.420 And I said, you do realize you wasted your vote, right?

00:35:32.400 And I didn't care. I walked out with my bottle of champagne and happily walked home.

00:35:44.280 Bye-bye.

00:35:47.620 Well, she was right about one thing. It wasn't close. She, she nailed that. By the way, if you're,

00:35:54.540 if you're just listening to the audio podcast and you're not seeing the video and you have an image

00:35:58.800 in your mind of what that woman looks like, that's it. You're right. That's exactly that.

00:36:03.360 It's exactly the exact image you have in your mind. The only thing you're wrong about is that

00:36:08.720 you expect her to have purple hair. And surprisingly, she doesn't. I don't think she did. I'm kind of

00:36:13.260 colorblind. Other than that, it's everything. It's exactly what you think. And, but she, she did say

00:36:20.300 that it wouldn't be close and she got that right. Nailed that. She is a political analyst after all,

00:36:25.680 which, which, which is such a funny thing to get all pompous about. It's funny because it means

00:36:30.700 nothing. Oh, you're a political analyst. You analyze politics. You mean like everybody else in the

00:36:36.820 country? That's all. Anybody can observe politics and analyze it. You're a, no, you're a political

00:36:46.240 opinion haver. That's what you mean. That's what that means. You, you're somebody with an opinion

00:36:51.800 about politics. So you're getting pompous about having opinions about, excuse me, excuse me. I'm,

00:36:58.620 I'm a person with a, I'm a person with opinions about politics. I think I know what I'm talking

00:37:03.100 about. I think I'm an expert here. Okay. I have opinions. I'm an opinion haver about politics.

00:37:09.740 All right. So I think I know, I think I know a thing or two about this subject. I've had opinions

00:37:15.400 about it for a long time. Okay. Uh, and it turns out her opinions were totally wrong.

00:37:21.920 So once again, the political analyst class was totally, completely catastrophically wrong.

00:37:29.260 They were wrong about everything. They were wrong in every way about everything,

00:37:34.140 everything. And that will not stop them from being wrong again. The next time that won't slow

00:37:41.500 them down for a moment, there won't be a moment of introspection. There will not be one single

00:37:46.040 fraction of a second where women like this stop and go, Hmm. Wow. I was really off on that. How did 1.00

00:37:55.440 that happen? Won't happen. Not for a second. And I do, I do want to say this when you, when you watch

00:38:01.820 that video and you see this repugnant woman cackling like a witch, uh, totally confident in her own 1.00

00:38:10.220 intellectual superiority. And then you consider how devastated she must be right now. 0.99

00:38:17.760 You're probably tempted to take pleasure in her suffering, right? You're likely tempted to

00:38:23.660 delight in her pain and misfortune. When you think about the fact that when you, when you think about

00:38:30.740 her recording that video, and then you imagine if only we could have been there to see it, but you

00:38:35.220 imagine what she, how she was reacting and how she was feeling like four or five hours after that video

00:38:43.880 was posted and just the total devastation that she was experiencing. When you think about that,

00:38:50.700 it brings you pleasure, great pleasure. And I want to assure you that that, that, that that's good.

00:38:57.520 You don't have to feel guilty about that. You don't have to feel guilty about it. You should feel

00:39:01.700 you should actually find joy in the humiliation and disgrace of people like this.

00:39:10.180 You should, it is good and moral to fit. It is a healthy reaction. Okay. If a smile comes across

00:39:16.460 your face, when you consider how utterly miserable this person is right now, that is healthy. That is

00:39:22.500 good. When you, when it, when it, it, it warms your heart to consider that this woman probably hasn't slept.

00:39:29.060 Okay. In three days, she's been up crying all night for three days. She's had no sleep

00:39:34.120 and that warms your heart to consider that. And that is good. It should, it should, it really should

00:39:39.100 to desire that a person like this suffer is to desire justice. And this is really important to me.

00:39:48.260 It's, it's, it's a point that very few people will ever make because, because for the obvious reason

00:39:52.760 that it's makes you sound cruel or whatever, but that's justice. That's what justice is. Justice is when

00:39:59.340 a person gets what is coming to them, when they get what they deserve. That is justice. That is what

00:40:05.060 justice is. Literally what justice is, is to get what you deserve. Should we not desire justice? Is it

00:40:10.560 embarrassing or wrong? Or somehow is it like a guilty pleasure when you desire justice? No, you should

00:40:16.720 desire that. We should be happy about it. We should find joy in justice. And somewhere along the line,

00:40:27.620 we got it into our heads, especially we Christians got it into our heads specifically, that it's

00:40:33.380 somehow unchristian to actively wish for the suffering, for suffering to befall evildoers.

00:40:40.300 Like it's an unchristian thing, which is an odd position for a Christian to take considering the 0.98

00:40:46.340 Bible is full of prayers for evildoers to suffer misfortune. That's like half the Psalms.

00:40:52.720 Maybe not half of them, but it's a lot of them. Um, and, uh, it's, it, it, because it's a prayer for

00:40:58.940 justice. It's not, you're not the one, there's not something wrong with you when you see that video

00:41:04.920 and you're like, you know what? I, I, I'm glad she, I'm glad she, she got what she was coming to her

00:41:10.180 with an attitude like that. And I'm glad that's not something wrong with you. And you feel that way.

00:41:13.340 You should feel that way. Of course you feel that way. Um, justice. Now here's where it vert,

00:41:25.000 it, it, it veers off into something that is unchristian and that is bad and sinful would be if, 0.99

00:41:30.540 if you don't want her to ever change and you just want her to be this miserable cretin, uh, for the 0.99

00:41:38.480 rest of her life. You know, if that's what you want, then yeah, that's, that's unchristian. But what 0.99

00:41:44.240 the reason why justice is good, the reason why it's good when suffering befalls evildoers, the reason 0.99

00:41:53.280 is that number one, it's just, it's inherently good because it is justice. It is, it is somebody

00:41:59.040 getting what they are owed. Um, but also that's the only chance at any kind of redemption.

00:42:07.340 So I'm glad with an attitude like that, that she's suffering. I also, if it were, if, if there

00:42:12.080 was an update video a month from now, two months, a year from now, and she's changed her ways and she 0.98

00:42:18.080 says, you know what? I, I made that video. I'm embarrassed by it. I, I, I've, you know, I'm, I'm,

00:42:23.700 I'm, I was totally wrong and I've, I've been walking around with all this hatred towards Trump

00:42:28.180 supporters and half the country and feeling like I'm better than them. And I'm, and I'm sorry for

00:42:31.820 that. And I've, and I've, I've, I've changed my ways and you know what? I'm a, I'm a happier person

00:42:36.160 now. If she put that video out a year from now, she put it out next week. I would find great joy in

00:42:42.780 that. I would, I would celebrate that also. That would be an amazing thing. I would love that.

00:42:47.200 Um, but probably not going to happen, unfortunately, and certainly not ever going to happen if these

00:42:59.620 kinds of people never suffer the consequences of their miserable behavior. 0.96

00:43:06.240 And when you act like a miserable, awful person, miserable, awful things should happen to you. 0.96

00:45:24.060 our daily cancellation. So there has been some controversy swirling around me recently and

00:45:36.380 I know that may be surprising. I'm not the sort of person who normally invites controversy.

00:45:41.180 I don't like controversy. I tend to shy away from it. As you know, I'm the kind of guy who prefers to

00:45:48.100 get along with people. Matt Kumbaya Walsh is what they've always called me. Friendly, wholesome figure.

00:45:54.060 The new Mr. Rogers. That's the other thing they've always called me. So the outrage directed at me over

00:45:58.120 the past few days has shocked me just as much as I'm sure it shocks you. It all began the morning

00:46:03.520 after the election. And in my usual thoughtful way, I was trying to think of something to say,

00:46:08.360 a public statement to make that might help calm everybody's nerves and reassure our Democrat

00:46:13.920 friends that everything's going to be okay. So this is what I came up with. I tweeted, I tweeted

00:46:18.580 this, quote, now that the election is over, I think we can finally say that, yeah, actually Project 2025

00:46:24.300 is the agenda. LOL. Now, for some reason, this post seems to have upset a lot of people. And I have no

00:46:33.160 idea why. Because I said LOL, after all. And I didn't mean it like a nasty LOL. This wasn't an

00:46:38.740 evil, wicked witch type laugh. It was like a warm, hearty chuckle. I would have actually written

00:46:44.380 WHC for warm, hearty chuckle, but I wasn't sure if anyone would be familiar with that acronym. So I

00:46:48.900 went with LOL. But even LOL was not enough to prevent the outrage mob from assembling.

00:46:54.520 And assemble they did. Now, there's probably no point in reading any of the thousands of

00:46:59.200 belligerent and infuriated comments from leftists you can probably imagine. But just to give you a

00:47:04.640 brief glimpse, here are a few. One woman says, I hope you get excommunicated and mauled by a bear. 0.99

00:47:10.460 Another says, castration for all of them. It was actually a recurring theme. Another comment says, 0.99

00:47:16.780 you're a retard and I hope you're castrated. Now, we know that leftists are big fans of castration. In 1.00

00:47:21.800 fact, they're such big fans of it that I'm not sure if these comments are meant to be negative or not.

00:47:26.260 Are they threatening me with castration or kindly inviting me to be castrated? To them,

00:47:31.000 castration is a beautiful, sacred ritual. So that's a bit confusing. These other comments are

00:47:36.680 not so confusing, though. Another leftist replies, I don't care if it gets me banned. I hope Matt Walsh

00:47:41.220 and all the Project 2025 Nazis die. It's another theme that emerged. Here's another comment that says, 1.00

00:47:48.780 that's fine. We'll just burn the continental US and try to kill you again. I have to say, 1.00

00:47:53.880 burning the whole continental US seems like quite a chore. Also not necessary because we're going to

00:47:59.240 set everything on fire with global warming anyway. Part of Project 2025. So don't waste your effort.

00:48:04.580 Then there was also this comment. I hope to one day see you either hung, 0.97

00:48:08.760 shot, or so brutally assaulted you can't enjoy life anymore. And I kind of hope I'm the one who 1.00

00:48:14.220 gets to make any of those three happen. Burn in hell, fascist dog. 1.00

00:48:18.340 So there were quite a few responses just like that directly threatening to kill me. 1.00

00:48:23.880 And I did reply to the guy who sent that last tweet. His account ended up getting permanently

00:48:27.920 banned, sadly. So I'm not sure if he saw my reply. I'll just reiterate it here just in case.

00:48:34.260 If you're listening, I just want you to know that you can hope for my demise. But I think what will

00:48:39.240 happen most likely instead is that I will continue to live a prosperous life where I am both happier and 0.97

00:48:46.340 more successful than you while you wallow in your misery until you die alone and few will ever know 0.85

00:48:51.540 that you existed or care that you're gone. That's what's likely to happen. That's the most likely 0.89

00:48:56.020 scenario is that I get to keep living my amazing life while you are stuck in your awful and miserable 1.00

00:49:00.880 one. But we'll see what happens. Who knows? The tweet also caused a stir over on TikTok. And the 0.98

00:49:07.420 TikTokers are not happy. I'm sorry to report. And so here's just one example. 0.99

00:49:13.020 You know, Matt Walsh, you know, Project 2025, Evangelical extremist wacko, Matt Walsh, you

00:49:21.620 know, Matt Walsh, the one who's been giving frequent arguments that women should no longer

00:49:27.760 have the right to vote or young people that just the man in the household should have the 0.99

00:49:35.100 right to vote. That Matt Walsh, the Matt Walsh that was all about Project 2025. Why it's so

00:49:42.900 important? Why it's such a good thing? Why it's so important? Well, anyway, he just posted

00:49:47.980 on X. And here's what he said. Now that the election is over, I think we can finally say

00:49:56.800 that, yeah, actually, Project 2025 is the agenda. LOL. We were trying to tell you all, Trump was

00:50:09.480 lying. Yes, that's right. I am an evangelical who thinks only men should vote. I frequently

00:50:17.260 made the argument that only men should vote. According to this person, you heard it from 1.00

00:50:21.620 her first. It's breaking news to everyone, including me. And there are many videos on TikTok

00:50:27.600 just like that one. But my one sentence tweet was not just a source of outrage on Twitter

00:50:32.120 and TikTok. The mainstream media also joined in the fun. In fact, multiple major outlets wrote

00:50:36.520 entire news articles about the tweet. Here are a few headlines. Rolling Stone says,

00:50:42.380 Republicans celebrate by admitting they can't wait for Project 2025. Axios has this headline,

00:50:48.040 Trump's MAGA allies gloat Project 2025 is the agenda. Daily Mail, MAGA stars gloat that they

00:50:55.420 can finally admit Project 2025 is the agenda as Bannon names first targets. MSNBC, in the wake of

00:51:01.540 Trump's win, Project 2025 becomes newly relevant. Newsweek, MAGA says Project 2025 is the agenda.

00:51:09.980 Center and so forth, you get the idea. So in summary, there's been the whole lot of confusion

00:51:16.100 and anger and hysteria that seems to have been caused by my tweet about Project 2025.

00:51:22.000 And I never intended for any of that to happen. In fact, I'm sorry that it did happen. I'm a little

00:51:26.460 embarrassed by it. So let me clarify a few things. The media and the left are all reacting to my

00:51:33.540 statements as if I'm actually going to be in the upcoming Trump administration. They're treating me

00:51:40.660 like an actual official in the next White House, you know, because it would be a really strange thing

00:51:44.640 if I'm just some podcaster talking and they and they make whole headlines about it. That's really

00:51:52.140 weird. And so it's almost as if they're treating me like I'm some sort of government official.

00:51:58.820 And they're right. I can announce today that I will be in the Trump cabinet. And I know the news

00:52:06.000 media is watching this right now. Feel free to report this news. I'm going to be in Trump's cabinet.

00:52:11.260 I have been offered the position of Secretary of State, as well as Secretary of Defense,

00:52:16.420 and HHS Secretary, and Secretary of Agriculture, of course, and of course, the position of Attorney

00:52:22.860 General. Trump said I could have, he called me up and said I could have any of those positions I like.

00:52:27.300 And I say, you know what, sir, I'll take them all. I want all of them. And he agreed,

00:52:32.500 because it makes his job a lot easier. Now he doesn't have, that's like five jobs off the table,

00:52:36.100 because I'll just do them all. And I do have, I think, the right experience for all those jobs.

00:52:40.800 I have watched, I mean, I've watched over, over 40 episodes of Law & Order, more than 40,

00:52:51.020 which is like a couple of whole seasons worth, which qualifies me to be Attorney General.

00:52:56.140 As for Secretary of Agriculture, I did grow a tomato plant last spring. And as for the others,

00:53:02.740 I'm sure there are probably YouTube tutorials that will help me learn the basics. How hard can

00:53:07.160 it really be? These are government jobs after all. And there's no way I could screw it up worse than

00:53:12.160 the people who currently hold all those jobs. So that makes me feel good too. Will we really be

00:53:17.280 enacting Project 2025? Yes, I've already made that clear. In fact, I've been honest about this

00:53:24.000 the whole time. I never lied. I've been telling you about Project 2025 for months now. I even made,

00:53:32.860 and if you've been watching the show for a while, you know this, I made a whole website about it.

00:53:37.160 And if you didn't hear, the website is project2025.com. I designed it myself.

00:53:41.520 I slaved away for days upon days designing a state-of-the-art website just to let everyone

00:53:46.580 know about Project 2025 and what it will entail. And you can go to project2025.com right now to

00:53:52.620 learn more. If you're in the media listening to me and dutifully reporting on whatever I happen to

00:53:56.640 be rambling about right now, make sure to include the website in your reporting. This is a quote from

00:54:01.840 me, a Trump official. Also, to anyone else in the audience, if you see anyone on social media

00:54:07.820 panicking over Project 2025, make sure to leave the link in the comments to project2025.com. It's all

00:54:15.060 there. I'm the one who made the website about Project 2025. So you know what? I take back my apology.

00:54:23.340 Don't call me a liar or accuse me of trying to bury the truth. How dare you? I did more to raise

00:54:31.160 awareness about Project 2025 than any of the people attacking me right now. I was 100% honest the whole

00:54:38.160 time. I couldn't be more transparent. And you can see for yourself again at project2025.com.

00:54:46.700 Make sure to click all the links. It's all in there. It's all real. It is happening. I tried to

00:54:53.600 tell you. And now you're all going to be rounded up, bound in chains, and thrown into the sea.

00:55:01.100 That's the very first item on the Project 2025 agenda. It says it right there. Agenda item number

00:55:06.680 one, Trump's enemies shall be round up and cast into the depths of the sea. You'd know that if you did

00:55:13.360 your research and went to project2025.com. If you didn't listen, if you didn't read the literature

00:55:18.460 that I provided for you, and now you're complaining, that's your fault. And for that, you are today

00:55:26.540 canceled. That'll do it for the show today and this week. What a glorious week it was.

00:55:33.700 Have a great weekend. Talk to you next week. Godspeed.
