00:00:00.000 Today on the Matt Wall Show, Gavin Newsom pretends to be moderate as he prepares for his inevitable
00:00:03.800 2028 presidential run. One of the astronauts trapped on the International Space Station
00:00:07.820 confirms Elon Musk's claim that the Biden administration wouldn't let Musk rescue them.
00:00:12.580 We have another cultural appropriation controversy, haven't had one of those in a while, and
00:00:16.000 a newly unearthed video shows that Representative Jasmine Crockett used to speak like a normal 0.98
00:00:20.820 person of at least average intelligence before she was elected to Congress. We'll talk about
00:00:24.640 all that and more today on the Matt Wall Show.
00:00:30.000 We'll be right back.

00:01:53.000 chaos where everything blends together. Over time, dates from that period get mixed up and transposed
00:01:57.840 just because of so many things were happening all at once. So it can be useful to take a step back and
00:02:02.480 think about the timeline a little bit. For example, you might not remember that when Joe Biden
00:02:06.700 officially announced that he was not running for president, it took just a couple of hours for the
00:02:11.960 governor of California, Gavin Newsom, to make his own announcement. Newsom declared in no uncertain
00:02:16.180 terms that he would not make a bid for the presidency. Instead, he threw his full endorsement
00:02:21.380 behind Kamala Harris, one of the least appealing and most uncharismatic candidates the Democrats have
00:02:26.760 ever nominated to high office. If you understand Gavin Newsom as the extremely calculating politician
00:02:31.840 that he is, this kind of quick, knee-jerk decision-making raises a few questions. After all,
00:02:37.520 it was an extraordinary move by Newsom for a couple of reasons. First of all, most of the most
00:02:42.400 important figures in the Democrat Party, like Barack Obama and Nancy Pelosi, did not endorse
00:02:48.220 Kamala Harris on the same day that Joe Biden was forced out. It took Obama nearly a week to come
00:02:53.060 around to the idea. And secondly, of course, Gavin Newsom was correctly seen as a far more talented
00:02:58.640 politician than Kamala. He was almost certain to outperform her in every swing state. So why would he
00:03:05.960 take himself out of the running so quickly? Well, if there's any doubt about Newsom's intentions,
00:03:10.080 we don't have to wonder anymore. Gavin Newsom will run for president in 2028. He determined a long time
00:03:16.580 ago that it's better to run on his own rather than try to defend a record as unpopular and destructive
00:03:22.940 as Joe Biden's. And Newsom will challenge the Republican candidate, most likely J.D. Vance,
00:03:29.060 using a platform of faux moderation rather than any kind of principle. Newsom's plan is to stake out an
00:03:35.200 untenable, inauthentic middle ground on the theory that voters will come to see the Trump
00:03:41.180 administration as too inflexible and extreme on the issues. And we don't have to guess about this.
00:03:47.660 In case you haven't heard, Gavin Newsom has just launched his own podcast. It's a show that
00:03:52.580 makes the game plan pretty clear. One of Newsom's first guests was Charlie Kirk, who proceeded to
00:03:57.880 press Newsom on some of his party's most unpopular positions. And here's one of the most important
00:04:03.040 moments from the show, for example. Watch how Newsom responds when Charlie brings up the
00:04:07.400 fundamental insanity of forcing women to compete against men in sports.
00:04:14.140 So like you right now should come out and be like, you know what? The young man who's about to win
00:04:18.960 the state championship and the long jump in female sports, that shouldn't happen. You as the 1.00
00:04:23.900 governor should step out and say no. No, and I appreciate. But like, would you do something like
00:04:27.980 that? Would you say no men in female sports? Well, I think it's an issue of fairness. I completely agree 0.96
00:04:31.840 with you on that. So that's easy to call out the unfairness of that. There's also a humility and
00:04:36.540 grace that, you know, that these poor people are more likely to commit suicide, have anxiety and
00:04:41.480 depression. And the way that people talk down to vulnerable communities is an issue that I have a
00:04:47.380 hard time with as well. So both things I can hold in my hand. How can we address this issue with the
00:04:53.320 kind of decency that I think, you know, is inherent in you, but not always expressed?
00:04:58.520 Now, it's a pretty incredible surrender, even if Newsom doesn't admit that he's surrendering.
00:05:04.700 He is. He suggests that it's profoundly unfair for a man to compete in women's sports,
00:05:09.900 as any sane person must agree. But then he still tries to find some kind of middle ground with the
00:05:16.340 bit about how we have to have grace for self-identified trans people because, quote,
00:05:21.340 they're more likely to commit suicide, which is just classic Newsom doublespeak. He's not actually
00:05:27.220 committing to any particular position. He's not saying anything that suggests that he'll comply
00:05:31.980 with any of Trump's orders on gender ideology, nor is Newsom saying anything relevant to men like
00:05:37.060 James Younger, who just lost custody of his child because Newsom declared California a sanctuary state
00:05:42.500 for child sex changes. Instead, Newsom is using language that he thinks will resonate with
00:05:47.100 conservatives, invoking the idea of grace without committing to any actual position. But it falls flat
00:05:54.060 because it's a non-sequitur. The concept of grace has nothing to do with affirming delusions.
00:06:00.740 And that's the central question here. Either we are giving in to the false claims of self-identified
00:06:05.780 trans people, or we're siding with reality and sanity. Having grace to Democrats has always meant
00:06:13.500 giving in to falsehood. It means forcing women and girls to endure humiliation, and even brain damage
00:06:19.720 in some cases, for the benefit of narcissistic men. Now, in this interview, rather than committing to
00:06:25.280 an answer, Newsom is using a common rhetorical tactic among Democrats. It's a tactic that Obama,
00:06:30.800 who's clearly Newsom's mentor, perfected long ago. Newsom is essentially saying incorrectly
00:06:35.460 that conservatives are offering a false choice. He's saying that we don't really need to choose
00:06:40.800 between affirming reality or affirming falsehood. He's suggesting that somehow we can do both without,
00:06:46.140 you know, really explaining how that's possible. It's reminiscent of a line from Obama's inaugural
00:06:50.940 address all the way back in 2009, when Obama said, quote, we reject as false the choice between our
00:06:56.640 safety and our ideals. Obama wanted to pretend that defending this country from terrorists didn't
00:07:02.500 involve making uncomfortable decisions about, say, the rights of al-Qaeda terrorists in Guantanamo Bay.
00:07:08.860 But during his term, Obama went on to make those decisions, and he did it because in the real world,
00:07:13.060 you actually have to make choices. Now, on the other hand, in speeches and in podcasts,
00:07:18.460 you can pretend that there are no hard choices. Although, of course, in the case of the trans issue, 0.98
00:07:23.720 this is not a hard choice. Men should not compete against women or be affirmed as women, period,
00:07:29.540 no matter what. I mean, it's not difficult. To be clear about this, Newsom is not merely a slick
00:07:34.660 talker. He's not just someone who will use rhetorical tricks to avoid committing to anything.
00:07:39.160 He will also lie unapologetically and pathologically. Later on in this podcast,
00:07:44.680 Charlie brings up Newsom's record as governor of California. Specifically, Charlie mentions
00:07:49.140 Newsom's decision to sign a law that enables school teachers to hide students' so-called
00:07:54.380 gender identity from their parents. And watch how Newsom, who now claims that he's concerned about
00:07:59.800 the fairness of men playing in women's sports, watch how he explains this law.
00:08:05.340 You signed a law where school districts can't even tell parents if their kids are trans.
00:08:10.900 Not true. Okay, then. No, they can. They just can't get fired for not doing that.
00:08:16.500 And it wasn't just trans. They can't get fired for not doing that.
00:08:18.280 The law was explicit, said you can't be fired for not snitching on a kid, not just for being trans,
00:08:27.360 for being gay. And my point is, how in the hell are you telling-
00:08:31.340 Parents know? Wait, is telling parents snitching?
00:08:34.020 No. The teachers themselves have the right. The law doesn't. They can do that. They can do that.
00:08:40.320 We're not saying you can't do that. We're saying you shouldn't be fired if you choose not to say
00:08:44.820 Johnny was talking about liking some other boy or something.
00:08:48.500 That's a charitable reading.
00:08:49.120 So, Newsom is claiming that the law merely protects the rights of teachers to keep information to
00:08:56.200 themselves. So, if a teacher notices that a student is using they-them pronouns or identifying as a
00:09:01.420 non-binary furry, then the law allows the teacher to remain silent and hide that information from
00:09:07.720 the parents. That's what Newsom is saying. It's not forcing them to keep silent, but it's allowing
00:09:12.640 them to. And of course, even if that were true, it would still be an outrageous piece of legislation
00:09:17.560 Under no circumstances should teachers be allowed to hide any relevant information from parents,
00:09:23.580 including the fact that their child is demonstrating the symptoms of a serious mental health condition
00:09:27.800 like gender dysphoria. But just as a factual matter, the law Newsom signed actually goes a lot
00:09:33.900 further than that. You could pull up materials directly from the California legislature and the
00:09:38.500 California Attorney General, which explain the law in detail. This is also what the state of
00:09:43.660 California under Gavin Newsom is arguing in court. Quoting from the California legislature,
00:09:48.580 quote,
00:09:49.480 Students have a constitutional right to privacy when it comes to sensitive information about them.
00:09:54.160 Under existing law, school staff are prohibited from outing students unless they have the
00:09:58.680 students' consent or are required to in a limited set of circumstances under state or federal law.
00:10:03.660 The Safety Act is necessary now because there has been a significant increase in policies and actions
00:10:08.380 targeting LGBTQ plus students and the school personnel who support them.
00:10:11.920 Some of these policies would require school staff to out students to their parents and guardians
00:10:17.120 in violation of existing law, close quote. In other words, they're passing this law because
00:10:23.240 they believe that children have an affirmative constitutional right to keep information hidden
00:10:28.740 from their parents. It's a violation of a child's constitutional rights for their parents to know
00:10:36.880 information about them. That's what the law is claiming, which is total madness, by the way.
00:10:44.800 And if Gavin Newsom didn't believe this, he wouldn't have signed the law and he would instruct his
00:10:49.500 attorney general to stop saying this in court. But instead, he's trying to have it both ways.
00:10:54.640 He's telling Charlie that teachers don't have to hide anything from parents. And at the same time,
00:10:59.460 the state of California says children have a constitutional right to hide their alleged gender identity
00:11:05.020 from their parents. And that constitutional right, of course, can be enforced against teachers.
00:11:10.560 Now, I'll play some more clips from this interview in a second. But first, I need to show you how the
00:11:14.760 Democrats leader in the House responded to Newsom's answer here. This is yet another illustration that
00:11:20.760 Newsom is clearly going to be the party's nominee in four years. Newsom is the only prominent member
00:11:25.920 of the party who's capable of articulating a coherent sentence. Even if the sentences are
00:11:31.080 pathological lies, he can at least articulate them. For comparison, here is Hakeem Jeffries.
00:11:38.920 I want to ask about California Governor Gavin Newsom's comments saying that Democrats were in the wrong
00:11:45.700 for allowing transgender athletes to compete in female and girls sports. What is your response to that
00:11:51.500 after Democrats had opposed the women and girls in sports?
00:11:54.160 I haven't seen his comments. What Democrats opposed was unleashing sexual predators
00:12:04.960 on girls throughout the United States of America.
00:12:11.280 Um, what? I mean, it's not even worth dissecting what the dollar store Obama was saying there.
00:12:19.000 It just, it makes no sense. Um, just an incoherent, what is it, incoherent answer. It's a totally
00:12:25.800 incoherent, unintelligible answer to the question. And say what you will about Newsom, but he doesn't
00:12:31.440 really have this problem. When Newsom is confronted with a question he doesn't want to answer, he has
00:12:35.520 an ability to kind of worm his way out of it. Um, and, uh, and, and when you, you know, if you're a
00:12:41.720 Democrat politician, like that's a, that's a skill you have to have because most of your party's
00:12:46.180 positions are insane and you can't defend them. So you have to be able to not defend them in a way
00:12:52.400 that sounds like, you know, you're giving a coherent answer. So consider this exchange from
00:12:56.920 the podcast. Charlie asks Newsom why he was able to clean up San Francisco for the arrival of China's 0.99
00:13:03.280 president a couple of years ago, but not for American citizens. And I'm going to play Newsom's
00:13:07.960 response followed by his comments back in 2023 in response to a similar question.
00:13:12.840 Why is it you were able to clean it up for Gigi Ping? Oh, that was you guys. That was the dumbest
00:13:18.220 thing I've ever heard of my life. By the way, you guys weaponized that. I saw that on 25 things.
00:13:22.060 It was the most ridiculous. That was, that was, you know what? I will happily, happily revert back
00:13:27.660 to your counterpoint. Can I have a street as clean as Gigi Ping? In this case, weaponized.
00:13:32.920 Can I have this? In this case, weaponized. Can I guess the Gigi Ping streets back? It was ridiculous.
00:13:35.740 Give me a break. No, but Governor, with all due respect, I saw a beautiful picture of San Francisco
00:13:40.240 that looked like Singapore. By the way. And then Gigi Ping leaves and the Walking Dead come back.
00:13:44.000 By the way, it was AIPAC. You had dozens and dozens of foreign leaders. And California is not
00:13:49.100 San Francisco, but I'm the governor of California, not the mayor of California, not the mayor of San
00:13:53.200 Francisco. You were the mayor, but I just want to understand why is it that we had to clean it up?
00:13:55.720 20 years ago. But you have to admit there's, it's emblematic of something that if enough important
00:13:59.680 people show up, it can get clean. I know folks say, oh, they're just cleaning up this place
00:14:04.040 because all those fancy leaders are coming into town. That's true because it's true.
00:14:11.240 But it's also true for months and months and months prior to AIPAC. We've been having different
00:14:16.840 conversations. Now, when he's talking to Charlie Kirk at 2025, Newsom says that he's not the mayor
00:14:23.280 of San Francisco, just the governor of the state. So how can you hold him responsible for the level
00:14:28.060 of filth in the city? But just two years earlier, Newsom came out and admitted that, yeah,
00:14:32.360 he made sure San Francisco was clean for the Chinese president. So this is utter shamelessness. 0.96
00:14:38.040 And it's why Newsom is the most effective candidate that Democrats can run in four years. He has no
00:14:42.560 reservations at all about lying at every available opportunity. And he can lie pretty smoothly,
00:14:49.960 unlike somebody like Kamala Harris, for example. And it's difficult to kind of pin him down on
00:14:54.540 anything because he just snakes his way out of it. And at the same time, Newsom understands that if
00:14:58.620 Democrats are going to win another election, they need to rethink the way they communicate with
00:15:02.300 voters, particularly young voters. He's the only mainstream Democrat who's come up with a new
00:15:06.560 media strategy that is at all intelligible. Watch.
00:15:11.740 And it's by no coincidence that out of the long form podcasting genres, the top 10,
00:15:17.900 eight of them are conservative or center right. Rogan, Megyn Kelly, Theo Vaughn,
00:15:22.480 the Paul brothers, Shapiro, our program, Ben Shapiro, Matt Walsh. There's a singular one on
00:15:27.840 the left, which is Pod Save America, which is just like a bunch of Obama bros agreeing with each
00:15:32.200 other for 90 minutes and saying that we're not very smart. And, you know, and so anyway, but I
00:15:38.360 appreciate it. No, but objective truth, right? I mean, you just dominate this media. I think you
00:15:43.820 talked about it the other day. A lot of folks were talking about that Carville article where he
00:15:47.400 talked about. Roll over and play dead. Roll over. In essence, he said that. I think it was a strategic
00:15:51.860 retreat, right? That we need to come back. Trump's starting to explode. His numbers are getting soft.
00:15:57.220 This was even before the tariff issues, et cetera. And then come back and strike went hot. And I
00:16:02.380 immediately, no BS, thought about you, who's just 24-7 flooding the zone, owning this space,
00:16:08.120 every day getting a convert, every day picking up one, two, 10,000 folks, continuing the momentum,
00:16:13.660 coming out of this damn election. And then I'm thinking about, we're going to stand back
00:16:17.820 and watch you run circles around us for six months, the next two or three years,
00:16:23.880 waiting for the moment to finally strike. Struck me as not necessarily the best advice.
00:16:30.100 Now, this is the opposite of the Kamala Harris approach, which was to hide from Joe Rogan
00:16:33.960 and do a handful of hits on MSNBC and other mainstream media outlets. And from a strategic
00:16:40.840 perspective, it's a much better approach than whatever every other Democrat is doing.
00:16:45.320 It's a lot smarter than holding up a paddle in Congress or interrupting the president or,
00:16:49.520 you know, vomiting out random words like Hakeem Jeffries. And Newsom uniquely is pretty good at it.
00:16:56.520 The lawyer, Laura Powell, just unearthed this interview from a few years ago. It shows Newsom
00:17:00.800 explaining his leadership philosophy. And about midway through, he references an essay from George
00:17:07.140 Orwell called shooting an elephant. Watch. Whatever team you're involved in, business,
00:17:13.060 baseball, sports at the time, did you lead then? I was never the, I was the captain only by default.
00:17:19.720 What do you mean? Like best player? Yeah. I just became sort of in that, but it wasn't the guy
00:17:24.060 seeking that. You weren't. I was never pledged at a fraternity. I never when I was on the board of
00:17:29.400 supervisors tried to become president of the board. That's not my thing. But let's say you're in
00:17:33.020 college and you're, everybody wants to go to get somebody. Are you the guy that's like,
00:17:36.620 we're going here? No, I'm the guy in the back of the classroom still. See, I don't think that
00:17:41.040 that doesn't, no, I believe, I believe you because you're sitting here, but you don't seem like that
00:17:45.880 guy to me. No, because I think, you know, there's a, it's a great old book about shooting an elephant.
00:17:52.940 And the author says, and it's his own life experience of how he was a soldier. And he was forced
00:17:59.440 to do something he didn't want to do. And he said, I put a mask on and my face grew into it.
00:18:03.720 I see. It makes sense. It's sort of this, the mask you live in there that you become,
00:18:08.100 you know, you, and so all of a sudden you start in these positions, you start absorbing these new
00:18:13.760 responsibilities and roles and you have a more collaborative mindset, but increasingly people
00:18:18.540 are looking, no, you have to make a decision. I'll tell you, there was, you wanted clarity on that
00:18:22.640 was all the stuff we all just suffered through with COVID, right?
00:18:26.060 Where you're quite literally at the end of the day, you're the one making the decision.
00:18:30.800 You don't get to scapegoat, abdicate, and that's on you. So you ultimately, again, it's like anything
00:18:36.100 in life, more reps, more responsibility, and it's just iteration, iteration, iteration.
00:18:42.040 Now, as Newsom understands the metaphor, you put a mask on, a fake persona, and then you wrap your
00:18:47.000 actual persona, you know, you warp your actual persona to match it. And this is the Gavin Newsom
00:18:54.300 origin story in a sense. It's a window into how he sees his political career. It's not about
00:18:59.020 authenticity. It's not about good governance, about making sure that Los Angeles doesn't burn
00:19:03.060 to the ground or that women aren't assaulted during sporting competitions or any of that. 0.97
00:19:08.220 Instead, it's about adopting a fake persona and then just making it work. And that's a strategy that
00:19:12.180 has clearly served Newsom well up until this point in his career, but it's not going to work anymore.
00:19:17.860 In the context of gender ideology in particular, the approach falls apart completely.
00:19:23.480 You know, that's, so going back to the very beginning of this and his answer on the trans
00:19:28.640 issue, which everyone is saying is, you know, he's kind of moderating his position in a way
00:19:32.780 he is, but it's moderating it into incoherence because the trans issue is all or nothing.
00:19:39.020 Either trans ideology is true and a person's gender is fluid and determined by their self-perception,
00:19:45.860 or it's not true. And a person's gender, their sex is a biological reality that cannot be changed.
00:19:53.480 And if the former is the case, if it's true, then there's nothing unfair about having trans quote
00:19:59.280 unquote trans women in women's sports. If gender ideology is true, if the latter is the case and 0.97
00:20:06.480 gender ideology is not true, then quote unquote trans women are not women therefore, and should not be 0.94
00:20:12.620 treated as women or recognized as women in any context at all ever. Why? Because they're not.
00:20:19.840 But as this interview with Charlie Kirk makes clear, Newsom is trying to have his cake and eat it too.
00:20:25.020 You know, this is the untenable middle ground Democrats will try to stake out over the next
00:20:29.220 few years on this issue. Just like they're going to try to shoot for a fake middle ground on so many
00:20:34.920 other issues. And Newsom is going to lead this effort for the Democrat party. And the good news though,
00:20:40.040 is that it won't last. It can't last. This is no ideology that depends on fraud and meaningless
00:20:46.480 platitudes. And that is standing on this kind of incoherent ground can last for very long. People
00:20:56.060 can see through the lies far more easily than Gavin Newsom seems to think. He may not realize that now,
00:21:03.260 but relatively soon, say in about four years, I think it'll become extremely obvious, even to him.

00:22:37.200 The Post Millennial Report's author and influencer, Sulhee Jessica Wu, also known as the Bento Box Queen,
00:22:43.960 posted a video on Wednesday featuring female Democrat House lawmakers in a choose-your-fighter style video,
00:22:50.600 denoting the pros and cons of each fighter. The video features Democrat representatives,
00:22:55.380 Alexandria Quezio-Cortez, Lauren Underwood, Catherine Clark, Judy Chu, Jasmine Crockett,
00:23:00.880 Susie Lee, and showcases two facts about the lawmakers and one so-called negative thing as they bob up and
00:23:06.480 down with their fist raised like a video game character posing on a character selection screen.
00:23:12.060 So that's the premise of the video that I kind of have to describe in case you're listening to the
00:23:19.660 audio podcast because this, you won't be able to, fortunately for you, you won't, you're not going
00:23:25.040 to see the visuals here, but let's just take a look at this cringe fest. 0.98
00:23:28.800 Yeah, I wouldn't choose any of those fighters, honestly. Can I get some more options, please?
00:23:55.840 Can I, are those the only ones? Can I get some fighters that look like they've thrown a punch or
00:23:59.840 at least some fighters that look like they've seen someone throw a punch would be, would be
00:24:04.680 preferable to me. Obviously that was incredibly embarrassing and lame. I don't know who it's
00:24:11.840 supposed to be for, you know, and that's, that's always the case with these lame politician viral
00:24:18.600 videos that almost always come from Democrats now. Who is it for? Like what audience is supposed to
00:24:26.980 be impressed by this? I'm not really sure, but this kind of thing does show us a few things. First
00:24:34.340 of all, it's, it's unserious. It's very unserious, which is a problem because all of these people that
00:24:41.180 you saw in the video would tell us and have told us that fascism, you know, has come to America, that
00:24:48.660 they're part of the resistance. They were wearing shirts at the State of the Union that said resistance
00:24:53.680 on them. So they're part of the resistance. What are they resisting? They're resisting a fascist
00:24:58.180 dictator who is worse than Hitler. That's what they tell us. They are fighting back against a mortal threat
00:25:04.780 to our democracy and, and, um, a threat to the whole human race, really, they would say. But then next
00:25:13.000 thing you know, they're making cheesy TikTok videos. You know, so which is it? Am I supposed to be
00:25:18.940 terrified or is this all one big joke? You know, imagine if this was 1942 and we were at war against
00:25:27.840 actual Hitler and imagine that TikTok existed back then. Do we think any American leaders, any
00:25:34.700 politicians, any statesmen would be making jokey little choose your fighter TikToks about it?
00:25:42.320 Probably not. Um, and the other thing of course is that this is just really uncool. You know, it's,
00:25:51.260 it's lame and corny and not cool. Um, it's not funny except maybe in a way they don't intend.
00:26:00.800 It's a laugh at them, not with them sort of thing. And we've talked a lot about the problems the
00:26:06.120 Democrat party faces right now, you know, all the kind of ideological problems, but this is
00:26:12.180 politically probably their biggest problem right now is that they're just, that they're lame. Like
00:26:20.260 that's, that is my, that's my analysis. That is my searing insight into the Democrat party is that
00:26:27.540 right now it's super lame. And that really is its biggest problem. Now, Republicans used to be,
00:26:34.340 and this is one of the big shifts, Republicans used to be far and away the lamest, corniest,
00:26:40.820 most uncool party. And, and sure, there are still plenty of lame, corny, uncool Republicans,
00:26:45.600 don't get me wrong. And neither party can be called cool necessarily, but Democrats have a much higher
00:26:51.680 quotient of lameness and uncoolness right now. Um, much higher in fact. And meanwhile, you know,
00:27:00.500 Trump has one of the coolest moments in American political history, surviving an assassination
00:27:05.540 attempt, blood, you know, pouring down his face, raising his fist in the air saying, fight, fight,
00:27:11.260 fight. Um, I don't, you know, I don't care where you stand on the political spectrum. I don't care who
00:27:15.600 you are. You just can't deny that that's one of the most bad-ass things any American political leader
00:27:20.800 has ever done. That's top three, at least all time, like all time, coolest things, any American
00:27:27.060 political leader has ever done. That's, that's at least in the top three. And, uh, you can't expect
00:27:33.700 Democrats to match that, but, um, uh, and the other thing too, about Trump is that he obviously very
00:27:44.680 badass when you survive an assassination attempt and respond the way he did. But really everything
00:27:50.020 he does, there's a, there's a, there's a, is an authenticity to it. Like he's being, he's just
00:27:55.840 kind of being himself, which means that even the things that would seem like they'd be super lame
00:28:02.000 really aren't. So like, take for example, um, the Trump dance, you know, Trump, the, the Trump dance,
00:28:11.380 which, which he performs to YMCA. So we've got, we've got a combination of things here
00:28:17.300 that are not cool. The YMCA song itself, nobody would call that cool. Uh, the Trump dance, which
00:28:24.060 is, I mean, he's, he's not much of a dancer, we could say. And then he's, he's doing that dance
00:28:28.860 to the YMCA. It's not even the right dance. He's like made up his own dance. Um, and yet,
00:28:34.160 you know, it, it, it becomes its own viral trend because he's just, he doesn't, he's not trying
00:28:41.540 to be cool. It's just his, you know, it's his own authentic quirky self. Um, and so this thing
00:28:48.100 that should be really lame is actually kind of cool. What, so what do the Democrats have to match
00:28:54.360 any of that? What, what's the last, what's the last cool thing a Democrat did? Who's the coolest
00:28:58.440 Democrat right now? Like, can you name a Democrat who is not completely lame and corny? Can you name
00:29:07.820 one? Uh, I can't. And that, that is their big problem right now. It's their biggest problem
00:29:16.340 among many. New York Post says this, one of the NASA astronauts trapped on the international space
00:29:21.120 station said he believes Elon Musk claim that the Biden administration rejected the SpaceX CEO's
00:29:26.100 offer to help bring the team home. Barry Butch Wilmore, uh, made the comment Tuesday during an
00:29:32.120 in-orbit press conference with fellow castaway Sunita Williams, nine months after the Boeing
00:29:37.060 Starliner capsule malfunction left the pair stuck on the ISS. He was asked about this and, uh, and he
00:29:44.220 seemed to confirm it. Let's listen to that moment. Our next question is from Aaron Gregg with the
00:29:50.340 Washington Post. Hi, everyone. Thanks for, uh, thanks for doing this. So my question relates to
00:30:00.340 Elon Musk has said that he made the offer to bring you guys back earlier and that it was denied. Uh,
00:30:06.280 my first question is, is that true? And if so, what would that have looked like? Was he offering
00:30:10.880 to make another flight, uh, push seats on another flight? Could you give us some background there?
00:30:15.220 Uh, I can only say that Mr. Musk, what he says is absolutely factual. I have no, we have no information
00:30:27.000 on that though whatsoever. What was offered, what was, what was not offered, who it was offered to,
00:30:32.000 how that process is went. That's information that we simply don't have. So I, I believe him. Uh,
00:30:37.140 I don't know all those details and I don't think any of us really can give you the answer that maybe
00:30:41.000 that you would be hoping for. So, um, what Musk says is a hundred percent factual. That's according
00:30:49.260 to the, one of the astronauts there is trapped on the space station for nine, nine months, nine months.
00:30:54.860 My God, can you imagine that? That's, uh, what? 270 days or so, which is actually about 4,000 days
00:31:03.920 technically because the space station orbits the earth 16 times in one 24 hour period.
00:31:08.260 So technically their day lasts for 90 minutes. Um, but either way, nine months, nine months in a
00:31:15.940 craft that has about 5,000 square feet of living space, which is quite spacious for a house. But
00:31:21.020 when you're trapped in it for nine months and you can't leave, you can't go for a walk, you can't
00:31:25.440 drive to the store or anything else. I'm sure it becomes very cramped. Uh, more to the point,
00:31:31.740 Elon said that he could have rescued them from the space station months ago and the Biden administration
00:31:37.260 turned them down. And of course, Elon, when he made this claim was fact-checked for it. And, uh,
00:31:43.160 you know, the fact checkers rated it false and he was accused of lying. But now we have one of the
00:31:49.680 astronauts confirming it, saying it was a hundred percent factual. And it's obvious, of course it's
00:31:53.900 factual. Like, of course the administration would rather keep astronauts stranded in space
00:31:59.940 than let Elon save them. Of course. And I say, of course, not because it's the right decision,
00:32:08.840 you know, but because that's how they operate. I mean, these are the same people who infamously now
00:32:17.340 chose to sit on their hands and not applaud a pediatric cancer survivor because they didn't
00:32:22.740 want to agree with Trump about something. They didn't even want to agree with Trump that
00:32:27.220 cancer is bad and it's good that this child survived it. Even that statement, they didn't
00:32:33.660 want to agree with it because Trump said it. So that's the level of pettiness we're dealing with.
00:32:38.300 And after their performance at the joint session speech, it is now completely believable. I mean,
00:32:42.380 it was before, but even more so now that, yeah, the Democrats would stop Elon from rescuing these
00:32:49.060 astronauts because they don't want to give him the win. That's a big win for the, for,
00:32:54.800 for Elon Musk and for SpaceX. It's an indictment of the, it would be an indictment of the Biden
00:33:00.620 administration and of the federal government. And they would rather, they would rather those
00:33:05.500 astronauts die. I mean, and that would, that would be an easy, you understand like that's an easy
00:33:10.240 choice for the Democrats, for the Biden regime. If it was an emergency and like something was going
00:33:17.380 catastrophically wrong and they needed to evacuate the astronauts in the next few days,
00:33:20.880 or they would die, um, the Biden regime would have happily just let them die rather than allow
00:33:28.580 Musk to save them. They wouldn't have to think about it. There'd be no deliberation. There'd be no,
00:33:35.120 they're not, you know, they're not going to lose any sleep over it,
00:33:38.200 but trading in a couple of people's lives just for the sake of, um,
00:33:43.160 just for politics. Yeah. Like, absolutely. They would do that. No doubt about it.
00:33:50.080 I mean, if there was an asteroid headed towards earth, which in fact, there might be, I think
00:33:55.040 they said 2032, there might be, there's like a 3% chance that an asteroid that's, um, the size of
00:34:00.500 a school bus or something, maybe a little bit bigger hits, uh, hits, hits the earth. And, you know,
00:34:06.040 if it hits a city, it's going to be like a, uh, a nuclear, worse than a nuclear explosion. Um,
00:34:12.740 but I guess we're not going to worry about that right now. But anyway, if,
00:34:14.940 if there was an asteroid headed towards earth and Elon and SpaceX had the ability to go up
00:34:21.700 like Armageddon style, right. And land, uh, Bruce Willis and Steve Buscemi on it and blow the,
00:34:28.900 the, the, uh, asteroid up and save earth. The Democrats would rather just have the asteroid hit
00:34:35.360 than let Elon do that. And again, there'd be nothing for them to think about.
00:34:41.400 If it was, okay, on one hand, Elon Musk can get a win or we can let 50 million people die.
00:34:50.000 Every elected Democrat in the country would say, oh yeah, well, just 50 million people.
00:34:53.520 We don't need them anyway. Earth, earth is too overpopulated as it is.
00:35:00.460 So that's the kind of, uh, that's what we're dealing with. Those are the kinds of people we're
00:35:03.960 dealing with. It's been a little while since we had a cultural appropriation controversy,
00:35:08.460 but here we are again. This is a streamer by the name of, um, I don't know her name,
00:35:13.080 but she's being confronted by a black woman, uh, on video here. This video that went viral
00:35:17.540 for wearing braids. Let's see it.
00:35:21.000 That's ugly.
00:35:22.000 Very, uh, eloquent as we would expect. And, uh, we, uh, we were there.
00:35:29.000 We were there.
00:35:30.000 It's great.
00:35:31.000 Take that out now.
00:35:32.000 Okay. What's your point?
00:35:33.000 Take that out now.
00:35:35.000 What's your point?
00:35:36.000 Take that out.
00:35:37.000 What's your point?
00:35:38.000 It's ugly.
00:35:39.000 It's ugly.
00:35:40.000 It's ugly.
00:35:41.000 It's ugly.
00:35:42.000 It's ugly though.
00:35:43.000 I'm looking at your hair.
00:35:45.000 It doesn't look bad.
00:35:46.000 It's ugly.
00:35:47.000 Please stop following us.
00:35:49.000 Very, uh, eloquent as we would expect.
00:35:51.000 And, um, so she's saying take the braids out cause it's cultural appropriation. 1.00
00:35:56.000 Now, you know, cultural appropriation, obviously a nonsense concept.
00:35:58.000 I don't need to explain that to you.
00:36:00.000 I have made the case many times.
00:36:03.000 I also think it's funny when there's a cultural appropriation outburst over braids of all things.
00:36:12.000 Um, does anyone actually think that black people invented braids?
00:36:19.000 What kind of understanding of human history, what level of misunderstanding of human history
00:36:25.000 do you need to have to think that black people invented braiding your hair?
00:36:31.000 Like no one else figured out thousands of years of human existence.
00:36:35.000 Nobody figured out how to do a braid until they saw black people do it. 1.00
00:36:40.000 Um, does anyone really think that?
00:36:44.000 Well, whether you think it or not, white people have been braiding their hair for thousands of years. 0.55
00:36:47.000 I mean, the Vikings were braiding their hair back in the year 900.
00:36:51.000 Um, and they didn't invent it either.
00:36:53.000 I mean, there's really no way to say who invented it, but it's been, as far as we know,
00:36:58.000 for as long as there have been people, there have been people, there's, there's been, uh, braids.
00:37:02.000 Okay. It's not, this was one of those things.
00:37:05.000 They probably discovered braiding before they discovered, you know, the wheel.
00:37:10.000 Um, which in fact, we know that's the case too, because in, uh, in Native American tribes,
00:37:17.000 tribes, you know, they had, they had braided hair, but they didn't have the wheel.
00:37:22.000 So they didn't have a written language.
00:37:24.000 So this is like, this is pretty early on, right?
00:37:26.000 In the, in the process of, uh, the development of human civilization.
00:37:30.000 So, uh, you know, I, I don't think there's no way to determine which race invented braids.
00:37:38.000 Um, but probably white people have a more credible claim to that.
00:37:45.000 If you want to get into that context or that contest, rather, we, we do certainly, we certainly know that.
00:37:52.000 If the cultural appropriation game was played equally, it would not work out well for most races.
00:38:03.000 Because we know for a fact, I mean, we don't know who invented braids.
00:38:08.000 I don't think any one person invented it.
00:38:10.000 We do know for a fact though, that like, uh, a white person invented jeans, uh, sneakers, um, airplanes, cars, air conditioning, you know, phones, the internet, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera. 0.68
00:38:24.000 So those were invented for sure by white people. 0.69
00:38:26.000 And we're part of, we're a part of white culture basically before anyone else adopted them.
00:38:30.000 So if different races get to sort of claim ownership of the stuff that they originated, well, again, I mean, that's a contest that doesn't work out well for most people.
00:38:42.000 Um, and even going back to the hairstyles, as many people on the internet have, have pointed out in response to this video, Beyonce was just at the, what was it?
00:38:52.000 The Grammys a few weeks ago with straight blonde hair and she clearly has whitened her skin. 1.00
00:39:00.000 Okay. So she, she is in fact actually trying to look white or at least whiter. 0.99
00:39:06.000 How is that not cultural appropriation?
00:39:09.000 We've got Beyonce running around looking like Dolly Parton and somehow that doesn't count as appropriation.
00:39:15.000 It's pretty ridiculous.
00:39:16.000 Of course, fortunately for Beyonce, cultural appropriation is just gibberish.
00:39:20.000 It doesn't mean anything.
00:39:22.000 Uh, that's, that's not how it works.
00:39:24.000 And, uh, but this is another one of those things that if the left wants to keep this up, have at it.
00:39:31.000 Keep it going.
00:39:32.000 Definitely.
00:39:33.000 Um, keep it going all the way to the midterms, the next presidential election.
00:39:38.000 Great stuff.
00:39:39.000 All right.
00:39:40.000 You may remember the Alaskan Airlines flight attendant who was fired for twerking on a plane a few weeks ago.
00:39:46.000 Well, Inside Edition interviewed her this week and she says that it was unfair.
00:39:50.000 It was very unfair that she was fired just for the, the sin of twerking.
00:39:56.000 She's the flight attendant who's twerking cost her her dream job. 1.00
00:40:01.000 I, I didn't think that, you know, being so happy can turn into something like this.
00:40:08.000 Nell Diallo was having a great time dancing and twerking in the aisle on an empty plane before an early morning flight.
00:40:15.000 I decided to just take advantage of the moment to wake myself up and kind of get myself like hyped up for my day, basically.
00:40:23.000 She posted the video on TikTok along with the caption, what's wrong with a little twerk before work?
00:40:28.000 But after the video went viral, she says Alaska Airlines fired her.
00:40:34.000 What did they say to you?
00:40:35.000 They just said that I broke their social media policy.
00:40:39.000 Nell had only been on the job for six months.
00:40:42.000 She says she was twerking to celebrate the end of her probationary period.
00:40:47.000 Why did you decide to post the video?
00:40:49.000 I was really proud of myself that I came so far.
00:40:52.000 I just didn't think that my video and my post and the way I was dancing would be deemed as inappropriate.
00:41:00.000 So how did you feel in that meeting when they told you you lost your job?
00:41:03.000 I put on such a proud face every time I stepped on that plane.
00:41:08.000 And for them to terminate me without giving me a chance, it just was unfair.
00:41:15.000 Twerking cost her her dream job.
00:41:20.000 Happens to the best of us.
00:41:22.000 You know, I'm sure you've been in the situation before.
00:41:25.000 Right there in the interview, they say we'd like to offer you the job and then you start celebratory twerking.
00:41:30.000 Just because you're happy, they're giving you the job and then they say, actually, never mind.
00:41:35.000 And it happens to the best of us.
00:41:37.000 So apparently celebratory happy twerking isn't allowed on the job anymore.
00:41:42.000 I guess not.
00:41:43.000 I thought this was America, but I guess not.
00:41:46.000 Next thing you know, they're going to tell us that angry twerking is not allowed either. 0.75
00:41:50.000 What if you're in a meeting or something and they announce some kind of new policy that you disagree with?
00:41:55.000 Does this mean you can't express your frustration by standing on the chair and twerking angrily while staring at your boss right in the eyes and twerking in a very angry fashion?
00:42:08.000 Is that not allowed either?
00:42:10.000 How are you supposed to express your disagreement?
00:42:13.000 How am I supposed to say I don't agree with that if you're telling me that twerking is off the table?
00:42:18.000 So, no happy twerking, no angry twerking.
00:42:22.000 Sad twerking?
00:42:23.000 Can we do that?
00:42:25.000 I hope we can at least do that.
00:42:27.000 I assume we can.
00:42:28.000 You know, what if you just lost a loved one?
00:42:31.000 You're at the funeral.
00:42:32.000 You're overcome with grief.
00:42:34.000 Can you twerk in a mournful way to express your sadness?
00:42:39.000 I would hope.
00:42:40.000 I don't know how else to express it.
00:42:43.000 But that's the way things are now with this anti-twerking crusade that's happening.
00:42:48.000 So, you know, I feel bad for this woman.
00:42:51.000 It's unfair.
00:42:52.000 She's right.
00:42:53.000 It's very unfair.
00:42:54.000 I mean, and there's nothing inappropriate about a flight attendant twerking, dancing, having a great time.
00:43:00.000 Personally, when I'm on a flight, the thing that I look for in my flight crew is, well, I look for two things.
00:43:06.000 Number one, do they know how to have fun?
00:43:09.000 That's the first thing I want to know.
00:43:11.000 Does this look like a fun bunch of people?
00:43:14.000 I want to know that about the flight attendant. 0.94
00:43:16.000 I want to know about the pilot.
00:43:17.000 Is this a fun bunch or not?
00:43:20.000 Because I don't want to be on that plane if they're not having a good time.
00:43:23.000 And second, are they good dancers?
00:43:25.000 That's the other thing I want to know.
00:43:26.000 So, in fact, just the other day we were, and this is true,
00:43:29.000 we were coming home from D.C.
00:43:31.000 It was a very, it was some of the worst turbulence I've ever experienced.
00:43:35.000 It was quite terrifying, in fact.
00:43:37.000 And I just remember thinking to myself, as the plane was violently shaking up and down,
00:43:43.000 that I have no idea if this flight crew knows how to dance at all.
00:43:48.000 And that made me feel pretty vulnerable, pretty unsafe.
00:43:53.000 So, anyway, I'm on this woman's side.
00:43:56.000 I hope that she gets another job and can twerk until her heart is content. 0.98
00:44:01.000 Let's get to the comment section.
00:44:03.000 If you're a man, it's required that you grow up in hay. 0.98
00:44:08.000 We're the sweet baby gang.
00:44:12.000 Let's be honest.
00:44:13.000 Those windows of yours, well, they're probably a disaster.
00:44:16.000 Rotting frames, rusting hardware, paint chipping.
00:44:19.000 You've likely been pretending not to notice.
00:44:21.000 If you're doing a whole workout routine just to open or close them,
00:44:25.000 it's time to face reality.
00:44:27.000 You need Renewal by Anderson.
00:44:29.000 Renewal by Anderson isn't just another window company.

00:45:36.000 Matt, I've always assumed that we were close in age.
00:45:38.000 Upon finding out I'm kind of old compared to you, 52...
00:45:41.000 You thought I was in my 50s? Really?
00:45:44.000 Is that...
00:45:45.000 Rich, you really think that?
00:45:47.000 I'm not insulted.
00:45:48.000 I don't get insulted by that.
00:45:49.000 In fact, I take that as a compliment.
00:45:51.000 I take it as a compliment.
00:45:52.000 That means there's a lot of dignity and maturity that you see in me,
00:45:56.000 that you thought I was in my 50s when I'm really not even 40.
00:46:00.000 Anyway, here's a little suit fashion advice. 0.97
00:46:04.000 Wear the brown belt, black shoes, and keep coat buttoned while standing up and walking around.
00:46:08.000 This is from traveling experience.
00:46:11.000 Well, that wouldn't...
00:46:13.000 See, not everyone...
00:46:14.000 People don't...
00:46:15.000 You don't understand the full gravity of my fashion dilemma
00:46:20.000 because I couldn't do that
00:46:22.000 because I was going to be standing and sitting a lot during...
00:46:26.000 You know, we're going into the...
00:46:28.000 Effectively, the State of the Union address.
00:46:29.000 And so, I'm going to be doing a lot of standing up.
00:46:32.000 A lot of standing ovations.
00:46:33.000 And so, what am I going to...
00:46:34.000 Every time I stand, I'm going to button the jacket?
00:46:37.000 You know, to hide the belt?
00:46:40.000 That's not going to work.
00:46:43.000 So, you know...
00:46:46.000 So, I'd have to keep the belt open.
00:46:48.000 And then everyone would be able to see that.
00:46:51.000 And I didn't know if I'd end up on camera or not.
00:46:53.000 Turns out we were on camera like four or five times.
00:46:55.000 And just imagine...
00:46:57.000 Imagine if my brown belt and black shoes had made it onto camera.
00:47:02.000 That'd be a national scandal that I'd have to deal with for the rest of my life.
00:47:05.000 Did your wife see your shoes before you walked out?
00:47:10.000 And if she did, why did she let you?
00:47:13.000 Well, I was in D.C.
00:47:14.000 My wife was home in Nashville.
00:47:15.000 So, I do rely on my wife to be my stylist.
00:47:20.000 But when I don't have her with me, I have to navigate these challenging waters on my own.
00:47:25.000 If I ever am somehow dressed in a stylish way, it's only because my wife has arranged that.
00:47:34.000 Every once in a while...
00:47:36.000 In fact, just the other day, I don't remember what I was wearing.
00:47:38.000 But I was wearing just something.
00:47:39.000 I thought it was a normal thing.
00:47:40.000 I just was wearing some kind of shirt with some kind of jacket.
00:47:44.000 And I came home from work and my wife saw me and she said,
00:47:48.000 Wow, that's really stylish.
00:47:50.000 Who told you to wear that?
00:47:51.000 And I said, no one told me to wear it.
00:47:53.000 What am I, a child?
00:47:55.000 You know, I accidentally looked kind of good.
00:47:59.000 I didn't mean to.
00:48:01.000 Apparently.
00:48:04.000 I absolutely adore Matt.
00:48:06.000 I think he's brilliant, super intelligent, and very reasonable.
00:48:09.000 Well, I agree, I have to say.
00:48:11.000 I don't know what I agree with you.
00:48:12.000 However, I think he's very cheap.
00:48:14.000 Based on what I've heard him say over the years and now his shoe situation,
00:48:17.000 to me, it goes beyond basic frugality.
00:48:20.000 I wonder if his wife and kids wear underwear from Walmart and toiletries from Dollar Tree
00:48:24.000 while he makes so much money.
00:48:26.000 Come on, Matt, throw those scuffed boots away and buy some new and elegant ones.
00:48:30.000 Well, not my wife and kids as much, but I wear clothes from Walmart.
00:48:34.000 Sure.
00:48:35.000 You know, I have some Walmart jeans that I'll wear.
00:48:38.000 They're fine jeans.
00:48:39.000 They're fine.
00:48:40.000 They're just jeans.
00:48:41.000 I'll get t-shirts.
00:48:43.000 No reason to spend more.
00:48:44.000 Like I'll get a pack of t-shirts from Walmart.
00:48:46.000 You can get like a pack of different colored t-shirts.
00:48:49.000 Five or six in a pack for 20 bucks.
00:48:51.000 Great deal.
00:48:53.000 What am I going to go spend $50 on a t-shirt?
00:48:54.000 It's a t-shirt.
00:48:55.000 You know, his clothes are clothes.
00:48:57.000 So nothing wrong with it.
00:49:03.000 Matt, if they confiscated phones, why was Pocahontas on hers the entire time? 0.90
00:49:07.000 Yeah, they confiscated all of our phones before we went in,
00:49:10.000 but then the Dems were on their phones the entire time.
00:49:14.000 So yeah, that was a bit irritating.
00:49:19.000 Bunch of comments all on the same theme here, though.
00:49:21.000 I'll read a few.
00:49:22.000 Petition for Matt Walsh to start an anime review channel.
00:49:25.000 I need a Matt Walsh anime review channel immediately.
00:49:28.000 If you did anime reviews, I'd watch every single one of them.
00:49:31.000 Matt does anime reviews would be a beautiful rabbit hole of him changing his mind.
00:49:36.000 Matt starting an anime review channel is what his audience desperately needs.
00:49:39.000 Please do us the honor of blessing us with the vast anime knowledge and expertise you have.
00:49:43.000 Would be great entertainment.
00:49:45.000 You know, yeah, you guys say you want that.
00:49:50.000 You say you want that, but I don't think you really do.
00:49:53.000 My producers were trying to sell me on this yesterday, but I can't do it.
00:49:57.000 First of all, it would require me to watch anime, which makes this a non-starter to begin with.
00:50:04.000 And for another thing, I'm not going to like the anime.
00:50:11.000 Okay, so this fantasy that you all have that, oh, just get Matt to watch this one anime.
00:50:17.000 He's going to be an anime believer.
00:50:19.000 This will be the thing.
00:50:21.000 No, you, you, how can you, after all this time that we've all spent together, it amazes me that anyone could still underestimate my stubbornness.
00:50:31.000 Okay, if I say that I'm not going to like something, I will not like it.
00:50:37.000 You know, it's just, it's the same thing with like, with pets.
00:50:42.000 You know, I'm not a big pet guy.
00:50:44.000 I think I made that clear, but my kids love having pets.
00:50:48.000 My wife loves the pets.
00:50:50.000 And so everyone always says, well, you know what?
00:50:52.000 Yeah, you say you don't want pets and then you'll have a pet in the house and you'll bond with it.
00:50:55.000 And you'll be, it'll be your favorite.
00:50:57.000 Nope, doesn't happen.
00:50:59.000 I don't hate them, but like, it's, it's, it never happens.
00:51:03.000 I said, I don't like it and I don't like it.
00:51:05.000 So if I declare, I don't like something, I will not like it until the day that I die.
00:51:11.000 I can live to be 500 years old.
00:51:14.000 And on my 500th birthday, I will still not like that thing, whatever it is.
00:51:19.000 So what will happen is that, um, if I do anime reviews, it will just be me dumping on anime relentlessly.
00:51:26.000 And, you know, which means I'm going to have anime fans constantly crying.
00:51:32.000 Which, okay, now I'm starting to talk myself into it a little bit.
00:51:38.000 That's because that would be a lot of fun.
00:51:40.000 Um, that's not, that's not so much of a downside, the more that I think about it.
00:51:45.000 So we'll, we'll, we'll put that in the, we'll, uh, we'll deliberate on that one a bit.
00:51:52.000 The Daily Wire continues to fight.
00:51:54.000 This time we're taking on one of the woke left's greatest accomplishments, quote unquote.
00:51:58.000 And we're going to tear it down.
00:52:00.000 Derek Chauvin was railroaded.
00:52:01.000 The evidence is clear.
00:52:02.000 His trial was a sham driven by media pressure, political threats and mob justice.
00:52:06.000 Derek's federal conviction was a disgrace, a political sacrifice to appease the mob.
00:52:11.000 If we're serious about undoing the damage of the last four years, this fight has to be fought.
00:52:15.000 President Trump should pardon Derek Chauvin.
00:52:17.000 And if he hears from us, he just might do it.
00:52:20.000 We're leading the charge again and launching a full scale push for justice.
00:52:24.000 Go to pardonderek.com right now.
00:52:27.000 Sign the petition.
00:52:28.000 We delivered major political victories, but the fight is not over with your support.
00:52:32.000 When we fight, we win.
00:52:33.000 Now let's get to our daily cancellation.
00:52:41.000 The other day, we discussed some of the latest rhetorical exploits of Jasmine Crockett,
00:52:45.000 a member of Congress from Texas who, in an attempt to demonstrate her outstanding intellectual credentials,
00:52:50.000 once bragged about receiving an honorary degree from a college that no one had ever heard of.
00:52:55.000 Crockett demands to be taken seriously at all times, even though she's easily one of the least serious, least literate members of Congress.
00:53:01.000 And to that end, at every available opportunity, she'll go out of her way to remind you of her many achievements.
00:53:06.000 For example, did you know that Jasmine Crockett technically holds the rank of Lieutenant Colonel in something called the Civil Air Patrol? 0.77
00:53:13.000 Did you know that she regularly keeps her house plants alive for more than a month? 0.99
00:53:16.000 She's bragged about that. 0.99
00:53:18.000 Did you know that she holds the record for selling the most Girl Scout cookies on her block back in 2004?
00:53:24.000 Now, if you didn't know any of this, then you probably don't listen to Jasmine Crockett enough,
00:53:29.000 which of course means that you're a white supremacist.
00:53:31.000 But it turns out that even among Crockett's most devoted fans, like myself,
00:53:36.000 there's one talent that she possesses that, up until now, nobody really noticed.
00:53:41.000 And that is Jasmine Crockett's most closely held secret, but it's now all out in the open.
00:53:46.000 And the secret is this, as it happens, she is one of the most talented quote-unquote code switchers in the Democrat Party.
00:53:53.000 She's kind of a savant, really.
00:53:55.000 And if you're not familiar with the term, a code switcher is another name for a fraud.
00:54:00.000 This is just a name that the left uses to legitimize someone who's a total phony.
00:54:05.000 It means that you use ghetto speak in some context, usually when you're talking to black people,
00:54:10.000 and then you use a normal voice in every other context.
00:54:13.000 That's code switching, as they call it.
00:54:15.000 And it's a real art form.
00:54:17.000 Now, I don't want to get ahead of myself.
00:54:19.000 The Democrat Party is a certifiable who's who of code switchers from Hillary Clinton to Kamala Harris
00:54:24.000 to random state lawmakers you've probably never heard of.
00:54:27.000 So for the purpose of this segment, I'm going to play the new viral footage of Jasmine Crockett's code switching.
00:54:33.000 And then later on, we're going to compare her to some of the other heavy hitters of the Democrat Party. 1.00
00:54:37.000 But for now, here's footage of Jasmine from before she went to Congress, interspersed with footage of her new accent.
00:54:44.000 And this was unearthed by a podcaster named Kyle Serafin.
00:54:47.000 Here it is.
00:54:49.000 First of all, it's good to see you in the new year.
00:54:51.000 You know, no one could have told me that when I went down to Austin, now it looks like a little bit over a year ago,
00:54:59.000 that I would be running for Congress.
00:55:01.000 It's just not what my plan was.
00:55:03.000 But what I've always decided is that I would step up when there was a need.
00:55:08.000 Listen, he up there, he's doing all kinds of nonsense.
00:55:12.000 And let me just be real.
00:55:14.000 We ain't gonna sit for that . We wouldn't, you know.
00:55:17.000 But when she called me and said, I think it's time for me to retire.
00:55:21.000 And you're the one that I believe should take my seat.
00:55:24.000 I really was kind of caught off guard.
00:55:26.000 I didn't anticipate that.
00:55:28.000 If anyone knows anything about the Congresswoman, they know.
00:55:32.000 We showed up.
00:55:33.000 And if he had some sense, then maybe we would have been about that life.
00:55:36.000 But y'all know he ain't got no sense.
00:55:38.000 So please give some love.
00:55:40.000 This took a little bit of coordinating to do for sure.
00:55:43.000 We got some cool shirts.
00:55:45.000 You know, the congressional seat is over four times as large as my house seat.
00:55:50.000 And I was just starting to get into the rhythm of doing constituent services and things like that.
00:55:55.000 We got, we got Madam Williams, who just happens to have the honorary seat. 1.00
00:56:01.000 It's not even honorary because she holding it down, y'all.
00:56:04.000 But the legend himself, John Lewis, that is the seat in which she currently serves.
00:56:10.000 So she honored his legacy.
00:56:11.000 This is the message that she wanted to send today.
00:56:14.000 Now, when I saw this clip, I went looking for news stories about any unfortunate mishaps that might have befallen Jasmine Crockett since her arrival in Washington.
00:56:23.000 I asked multiple AI programs whether she had been poisoned by the Russians or maybe struck by a falling piano or something like that.
00:56:32.000 I tried my hardest to find some benign explanation for this footage.
00:56:35.000 But in the end, I came up with nothing.
00:56:36.000 This is a change that Jasmine underwent all on her own.
00:56:39.000 But as impressive as this footage is, it's also a little unsettling.
00:56:43.000 It really makes you doubt your preconceptions.
00:56:45.000 It's the kind of thing that makes you wonder whether Jasmine Crockett is faking more than just her accent.
00:56:50.000 You have to wonder if maybe she's faking the whole being extremely dumb thing as well. 0.64
00:56:55.000 Maybe Jasmine is constantly embarrassing herself in public as some kind of political tactic or as part of some elaborate performance art. 1.00
00:57:01.000 You know, maybe she actually has an IQ above 95. 1.00
00:57:06.000 If so, it's extremely clear that she is very committed to the bit.
00:57:10.000 Jasmine is a method actor on par with like Marlon Brando.
00:57:13.000 But this is par for the course in the Democrat Party, as I mentioned.
00:57:17.000 Here's one of my favorite examples of this kind of thing of all time.
00:57:21.000 And this is someone local.
00:57:24.000 So maybe this is why I'm a bit biased, but it's a Tennessee lawmaker by the name of Justin Pearson.
00:57:29.000 You might remember this guy because he was expelled briefly from the Tennessee Statehouse for staging an insurrection after the Covenant school shooting,
00:57:35.000 which he tried to turn into a platform to make an anti-gun statement.
00:57:39.000 And Pearson imagined that this stunt would propel him into the national spotlight, into national stardom.
00:57:45.000 Unfortunately, everyone sort of forgot he existed after about two days.
00:57:48.000 But for our purposes, the point is that Pearson attended a leafy liberal arts college in Maine, where tuition runs over $60,000 a year.
00:57:56.000 Then after he led his interaction, he started sounding a lot, you know, very different from how he sounded in Maine.
00:58:02.000 Let's watch that again.
00:58:03.000 Justin J. Pearson, and I'm running for president of BSG.
00:58:07.000 There are a few reasons that we're running this campaign this year.
00:58:10.000 One has to do with representation.
00:58:12.000 How can we represent all voices in a conversation?
00:58:15.000 I want to do this by partnering with organizations from the Putin Democrats to the Putin Republicans. 0.50
00:58:20.000 I want to bring together different voices, dissenting voices, voices that may be more liberal or more conservative,
00:58:26.000 in order that we can reach a point of sort of the radical middle.
00:58:30.000 Seems like the NRA and gun lobbyists might win.
00:58:34.000 But, oh, that was good news for us.
00:58:37.000 I don't know how long this Saturday in the state of Tennessee might last.
00:58:42.000 But, oh, we have good news, folks.
00:58:45.000 We've got good news that Sunday always comes.
00:58:49.000 That's a great one.
00:58:52.000 I don't know.
00:58:53.000 That's a really good one.
00:58:54.000 That's an all-time classic.
00:58:56.000 But if you put that up against Jasmine Crockett, it's kind of a tough call.
00:58:59.000 Who is more pathetic when you really get down to it?
00:59:01.000 On the one hand, Pearson is obviously overdoing the MLK bit.
00:59:06.000 The hairstyle gets him some bonus points also.
00:59:08.000 Jasmine, on the other hand, she holds a higher office. 0.99
00:59:11.000 You could make the case that she's fooled more people for a lot longer.
00:59:14.000 But let's keep going.
00:59:16.000 As we all know, both Jasmine and Justin Pearson have very stiff competition from Hillary Clinton
00:59:21.000 in the competition for best code switcher of all time in the Democrat Party,
00:59:26.000 or at least the most pitiful and embarrassing.
00:59:28.000 When we say best, that's what we mean in this context.
00:59:31.000 So here she was back in 2008.
00:59:33.000 This is another classic.
00:59:35.000 And when she was campaigning against Barack Obama.
00:59:39.000 Let's relive this one.
00:59:42.000 I don't feel no ways tired.
00:59:45.000 I've come too far from where I started from.
00:59:50.000 Nobody told me that the road would be easy.
00:59:55.000 I don't believe he brought me this far to leave me.
01:00:00.000 I don't feel no ways tired.
01:00:04.000 Which I think means that she does feel tired.
01:00:07.000 If she doesn't feel no ways tired.
01:00:11.000 I don't feel no ways tired.
01:00:13.000 Then that means I do feel some ways tired.
01:00:18.000 I think it's kind of a riddle, but it's also the most egregious code switch in modern political history.
01:00:25.000 She's held the throne for more than a decade.
01:00:27.000 Frankly, it's hard to see how Jasmine Crockett or Justin Pearson could possibly beat that.
01:00:31.000 Hillary is the gold standard for this kind of thing. 1.00
01:00:34.000 And that's why when Kamala Harris started using her fake accents, everyone compared them to Hillary. 1.00
01:00:39.000 You know, everyone knows Hillary is the goat of hysterically fake black accents. 1.00
01:00:44.000 And here was Kamala's attempt in case you need a reminder.
01:00:48.000 You better thank a union member for sick leave.
01:00:52.000 You better thank a union member for paid leave.
01:00:55.000 You better thank a union member for vacation time.
01:01:06.000 Because what we know.
01:01:07.000 Hold on.
01:01:08.000 You know what?
01:01:09.000 Here.
01:01:10.000 Hold on.
01:01:11.000 Here's the thing.
01:01:12.000 The courts are going to handle that.
01:01:13.000 We're going to beat them in November.
01:01:14.000 We're going to beat them in November.
01:01:16.000 We'll beat them in November.
01:01:20.000 We'll handle that.
01:01:23.000 I love you back.
01:01:26.000 I forgot.
01:01:27.000 I forgot about the Puerto Rican one at the end.
01:01:29.000 That was good.
01:01:31.000 Now, as embarrassing as it is, it just it makes you pine for the real thing.
01:01:35.000 It's a cheap imitation of Hillary and the black church like everything else Kamala did. 0.99
01:01:38.000 It was an inauthentic, pared down retread of the greats.
01:01:43.000 At least Jasmine Crockett's code switch has the element of surprise.
01:01:46.000 When Kamala Harris tried to pull this, no one was shocked or stunned in any way.
01:01:50.000 Instead, people, you know, just laughed.
01:01:52.000 And this this is, I guess, the ranking then in the annals of Democrat Party code switchers.
01:01:57.000 That is frauds, total frauds and phonies.
01:02:00.000 We have Hillary Clinton, then Jasmine Crockett, then Kamala Harris. 1.00
01:02:03.000 And even though this newly unearthed footage adds a bit of excitement, the fact remains that Jasmine Crockett still isn't that special or interesting, even in terms of code switching.
01:02:12.000 There's just not much to celebrate here.
01:02:14.000 It's bad.
01:02:15.000 But it doesn't even have the distinction of being the worst we've ever seen.
01:02:18.000 And that is why Jasmine Crockett is today finally canceled. 0.99
01:02:24.000 That'll do it for the show today and this week.
01:02:27.000 Have a great weekend.
01:02:28.000 Talk to you on Monday.
01:02:29.000 Godspeed.
01:02:30.000 Godspeed.
