Today on the Matt Wall Show, a trove of previously classified JFK files have been released.
00:00:04.240
What do they say and what does this release signify? We'll discuss. Also, the activist
00:00:07.960
judges are at it again. This time, a judge has decreed that Trump is not allowed to ban
00:00:12.320
trans people from the military. Have we reached a point where Trump has to go on an all-out war
00:00:17.780
against activist judges? Well, yes, we have, and we'll talk about it. And Elon Musk rescues two
00:00:22.800
stranded astronauts from the International Space Station. It's the kind of thing that in earlier
00:00:26.420
times would have made him a hero, but you'll be shocked to learn that the left is not treating
00:00:30.300
him that way. We'll talk about all that and more today on the Matt Wall Show.
00:00:56.420
You wish you could have invested in the stock market last year when investors scored the

00:01:47.960
There are a lot of ways you could illustrate the unusual degree of responsiveness of the current
00:01:52.760
Trump administration, especially as compared to their predecessors. For example, you could point
00:01:57.280
to how the White House struck a deal with El Salvador to house illegal alien gang members and
00:02:02.380
then deported those gang members in a matter of days before a federal judge could stop them.
00:02:06.540
In a similar fashion, the White House ended Hunter Biden's Secret Service detail within about 24 hours
00:02:10.860
of discovering that he still had one. Donald Trump also announced that he was invalidating Joe Biden's
00:02:15.480
pardons just a couple of days after an investigation revealed that Biden's signature was being rubber
00:02:19.820
stamped with an auto pen on pretty much every document that he signed while in office. These
00:02:24.600
are the kinds of quick, decisive actions that, whether you agree with them or not, are not typical
00:02:29.860
of most administrations, especially recently. But maybe the clearest example of the level of
00:02:34.520
responsiveness that we're getting from the White House came last night when the administration
00:02:38.040
released more than a thousand of the so-called JFK files on the Internet, totally more than about
00:02:44.860
30,000 pages so far. These are declassified files relating to the assassination of President Kennedy
00:02:50.460
that had never been seen before and that should never have been classified in the first place,
00:02:56.280
as we'll see. On Monday, during a visit to the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts,
00:03:02.040
Trump announced that he would be disclosing these files within 24 hours. And he said that he was going
00:03:07.380
to make good on his promise, which he first outlined in an executive order in January,
00:03:11.340
to ensure the, quote, complete release of records relating to the assassination of President John
00:03:16.560
F. Kennedy. Watch. We're at the Kennedy Center. Needs a lot of work. We're going to fix it,
00:03:22.440
make it beautiful. It's a very big part of the fabric of D.C. and the Capitol. We're bringing back
00:03:27.620
the Capitol. We're bringing back our country. But while we're here, I thought it would be appropriate.
00:03:32.600
We are tomorrow announcing and giving all of the Kennedy files. So people have been waiting for
00:03:43.940
decades for this. And I've instructed my people that are responsible, lots of different people
00:03:52.740
put together by Tulsi Gabbard. And that's going to be released tomorrow.
00:03:59.400
Now, true to Trump's word, this is exactly what began to take place on Tuesday night. Attorneys
00:04:05.220
with the National Security Division of the DOJ pulled an all-nighter going through various
00:04:09.080
documents. They responded to Trump's directive immediately. And yesterday, many of those files
00:04:13.620
were released. And apparently more files are going to come today. And so then what we have is not the
00:04:19.280
final set of documents. There are a lot of documents. So more are coming. Even so, there is some new
00:04:26.220
information here that's worth talking about. And there's a lot more that just hasn't been seen
00:04:31.440
yet because, again, it's 30, you know, whatever it is, 30,000 pages. So no one's had a chance to go
00:04:36.380
through all of it yet. But the first thing you notice as you look through the materials is how
00:04:41.880
obscenely overbroad our classification system actually is. One of the previously classified
00:04:48.180
documents, just for example, is an article from the magazine Ramparts, which hasn't been published
00:04:54.000
since the 1970s. And this article states that, quote, the day after the assassination, CIA agent
00:04:59.540
Gary Underhill left Washington. A small clique within the CIA was responsible for the assassination.
00:05:05.320
He confided and he was afraid for his life and would probably have to leave the country. Less than
00:05:10.620
six months later, Underhill was found shot to death in his Washington apartment. The coroner ruled it a
00:05:15.180
suicide, close quote. Now, there's no independent verification in these JFK files that, at least that
00:05:21.280
I've seen at least, that corroborate any of this. It's just a copy paste from a publicly available
00:05:26.660
article in some magazine that no one's ever heard of. But it was marked secrets and CIA employees were
00:05:34.940
told not to copy it, even though, again, it was a magazine article. This is the kind of thing that
00:05:40.480
might seem trivial, but recall that the DOJ attempted to imprison Donald Trump for allegedly storing
00:05:46.500
classified information at Mar-a-Lago. If the intelligence agencies are going to abuse their
00:05:51.720
classification authority to such an extent that they're classifying magazine articles, then they
00:05:57.420
shouldn't be able to prosecute political candidates for storing materials that are supposedly classified.
00:06:02.480
And it seems like a pretty fair compromise going forward. But the ideal solution is to do what the
00:06:06.920
Trump administration is doing, which is to declassify everything that they possibly can.
00:06:11.400
Most of it, as we're finding out, isn't even that interesting. And it's certainly not worth
00:06:18.180
jailing people over. That said, as you dig through the JFK files, and again, this is all preliminary
00:06:23.300
because there's so much to go through. So no one has seen all of it yet. But as you go through what
00:06:29.960
we've seen, you do begin to find some interesting information. Some of this was already out there in
00:06:35.460
some capacity, but now we have a bunch of mostly unredacted documents in one place. For instance,
00:06:40.520
in mid-December of 1963, shortly after Kennedy's assassination, the CIA issued a telegram about
00:06:47.380
Castro's attitude towards the United States. It's two pages long. It reads, it begins by quoting a
00:06:54.340
high-level Cuban diplomat in Western Europe, quote-unquote, someone who the CIA has deemed highly
00:07:00.000
reliable, as saying that Castro was, quote, very upset about the fact that Kennedy had been replaced.
00:07:05.340
And that's because, quote, top Cuban leadership was sure President Kennedy would not invade Cuba.
00:07:11.460
And also because Cuba determined that Kennedy's economic blockade of Cuba would not overthrow
00:07:16.080
Castro's regime. Then the telegram concludes with this line, according to Cuban government leaders,
00:07:21.980
Castro wants to wait and see what President Johnson says and does about Cuba and give him an opportunity
00:07:26.760
to improve, if he feels so inclined, relations between the two countries. So in other words,
00:07:32.480
the perception of Cuba's government, even after the Bay of Pigs, was that Kennedy would never attempt
00:07:37.700
a full-scale invasion. At the same time, they weren't so sure that Kennedy's replacement or the CIA
00:07:43.400
would be so reluctant. And as you read further in the JFK files, that seems like a reasonable concern.
00:07:50.780
Some of the documents, for example, show that Cuban diplomats immediately concluded that the CIA
00:07:56.240
had killed Kennedy, quote, if the Yankees or CIA assassinated Kennedy to resume the assault on Cuba,
00:08:03.540
then a third world war would start. Then there are statements from an American official indicating that
00:08:10.200
assets connected to a CIA agent had spread misinformation about Cuba's involvement in the
00:08:17.320
assassination. So no one involved in the scenario believed the lone gunman theory at any point,
00:08:23.200
it would seem. Meanwhile, the CIA was drawing up various plans to attack Cuba, plans that presumably
00:08:28.980
had a better chance of being implemented with Kennedy out of the way. Take a look at this
00:08:33.700
previously classified file in which the CIA talks about their plans to destroy crops in Cuba.
00:08:39.360
It reads, quote, plans for inducing the failure of crops will be submitted by 15th of February.
00:08:45.240
These plans will envisage both the use of controlled assets who could be infiltrated and exfiltrated,
00:08:50.520
and the provision of encouragement and guidance to the resistance so that it will undertake acts
00:08:55.840
of sabotage, some of which are to be directed against crops, particularly rice.
00:09:01.440
Separately, the agency discussed efforts to sabotage Cuba's nickel supply using various methods,
00:09:07.620
including open attack. They also discussed the use of torpedoes and mines, as well as attacks on
00:09:12.780
primary and secondary sources of Cuban nickel. These attacks would apparently be carried out by
00:09:18.080
external assets. And additionally, the CIA wrote about efforts to deploy a large number of spies
00:09:24.320
to Cuba while pretending that they're students. Quote, an assessment of more than 100 persons to
00:09:30.020
determine their suitability for return to Cuba as agents in the guise of students is also being
00:09:35.420
conducted. Then there's this noteworthy passage in which the CIA admits that it staged mass
00:09:41.160
demonstrations all over the region. Quote, in support of states' efforts, CIA has conducted
00:09:46.380
propaganda operations, including a number of mass demonstrations in Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil,
00:09:51.780
Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Ecuador, Guatemala, Mexico, Panama, Peru, Uruguay, and Venezuela.
00:09:59.160
So they pretty much orchestrated mass demonstrations at will in nearly a dozen countries,
00:10:03.780
you know, according to these files. And reading that memo, it's not hard to conclude that the CIA
00:10:08.180
probably never stopped doing this. I mean, you're not crazy for concluding that anytime you see a mass
00:10:13.360
protest movement anywhere in the world, including here, there's a very good chance that our intelligence
00:10:20.040
agencies could have been involved. When you think about the so-called Orange Revolution in Ukraine that
00:10:24.940
led to conflict with Russia that, as we all know, has ended in open warfare. Now, moving on through the
00:10:30.840
files, there's also this previously classified memo from June of 1961. It was written by Arthur
00:10:35.560
Slushinger, as a close advisor of JFK. And this is a memo that that already has been discussed publicly in other
00:10:44.720
contexts. But the idea of the memo, which was written just a couple of years before Kennedy was murdered, was that the
00:10:51.220
CIA has essentially gone rogue. They're running their own foreign policy. And therefore, according to Slushinger, the
00:10:59.020
CIA should be split up. Again, you can maybe see why this was classified at the time. But the idea that it should
00:11:06.300
have been hidden for decades is obviously absurd. And there was never any reason to hide information like this from the
00:11:13.420
public for as long as it was hidden. And there are many more files that I haven't been able to review and that no one has
00:11:20.720
been able to review at this point. Again, it's too much information at the moment. And again, some of the
00:11:25.940
information is still incomplete. Summing up his findings on the this first batch of files, the writer
00:11:32.600
Gerald Posner wrote, quote, I don't see the tax files of Lee Harvey Oswald or Jack Ruby. Nothing yet on the some of the
00:11:41.520
grand jury proceedings from New Orleans District Attorney James Garrison's miscarriage of justice. Maybe I'm running on
00:11:47.040
empty and missing them, but they're not popping up. There are some files I've been looking forward to. One called
00:11:52.940
Special Intelligence Package. It includes 37 blank pages and might tell us more about Mexican intelligence
00:11:58.760
and what they sent to the CIA about Oswald after the assassination. I don't see that in today's release.
00:12:04.340
There are other CIA documents I was hoping to see. Maybe they'll be in tomorrow's release, close quote.
00:12:10.420
So we'll obviously be awaiting those documents and reviewing them when they become available.
00:12:14.060
Well, the same is true for the next release of the Epstein files that we have been promised. We haven't seen yet, but
00:12:20.280
already based on what's been released so far, it's it's clear that the Trump administration has truly been, as they
00:12:26.480
promised, extraordinarily transparent. In fact, you can make the case that Trump is possibly the single most radically
00:12:33.060
transparent politician in American history. I mean, even aside from these documents being released, you just look at the way that
00:12:41.780
he conducts himself and we kind of take it for granted for granted at this point. But I've already lost track of a number of
00:12:48.020
times he's taken questions from the press since being inaugurated. You don't get the sense that Trump cares to hide anything
00:12:54.620
from the public, really. So the contrast between him and Biden on this point could not be more stark. In fact, it's not just a
00:13:02.880
contrast with Biden. The reflex of every public official in my lifetime and any of our lifetimes has been to hide
00:13:10.140
things and to lie about everything, even when there's no obvious strategic benefits in doing that. On the other hand, Donald
00:13:19.480
Trump, without being prompted, will walk out to the press and announce a historic declassification document dump. And then the next day
00:13:26.880
he delivers it. Now, can we expect to learn from these documents with certainty? Who exactly killed JFK? Is there going to be a
00:13:35.700
document in there that that actually says this is the person who killed him and this is the group that killed him? Probably not. It's
00:13:42.540
simply been too long, if we're being honest about it. At the same time, at this point, there's no reason to believe the Trump
00:13:49.020
administration is responsible for hiding that information from the public. And that's significant for a lot of reasons. We have far
00:13:56.860
more insight into how our intelligence agencies operate than ever before. And as a result, we can assume
00:14:02.760
that these agencies are now probably a lot less likely to think about assassinating domestic political
00:14:07.940
targets. Because if they do that, they run a very high risk of exposure. They certainly run a higher risk of
00:14:13.860
exposure than they did under the Biden administration when assassins were taking posh shots at Trump and the
00:14:19.120
federal government didn't even pretend to care about it. This is the value of transparency. And less than three
00:14:25.780
months into his term, as much as it probably drives the CIA crazy, Donald Trump is delivering it.
00:14:41.720
Success is not built on resolutions. Those are made to break. As we know, it's built on
00:14:45.840
taking action and building unstoppable momentum. When it comes to optimizing your healthspan,
00:14:51.100
living better and longer, certain things are non-negotiable. Quality sits at the top of that list.
00:14:55.520
In the world of performance-focused supplements, Momentus stands alone. Their commitment to NSF
00:15:00.700

00:15:46.000
The Hill reports, a federal judge on Tuesday indefinitely blocked implementation of President
00:15:51.100
Trump's executive order, effectively barring transgender people from serving openly in the
00:15:55.320
military, a stark blow to the administration's efforts to curb transgender rights. U.S. District
00:16:00.840
Judge Anna Rice, an appointee of former President Biden, barred Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and other
00:16:06.820
military officials from implementing Trump's order or otherwise putting new policy into place,
00:16:10.480
effectuating it. She also said the plaintiff's military statuses must remain unchanged until
00:16:16.060
further order of the court. The judge said her order intends to maintain the status quo of military
00:16:21.140
policy regarding transgender service that existed before Trump signed the order titled Prioritizing
00:16:25.640
Military Excellence and Readiness. She stayed her order until Friday to give the administration
00:16:30.140
time to appeal. Trump's order suggests that the transgender people cannot satisfy the rigorous
00:16:36.940
standards necessary for military service because they threaten the lethality of the armed forces
00:16:41.900
and undermine unit cohesion, an argument long used to keep marginalized communities from serving.
00:16:47.440
So a little bit more editorializing from the Hill within this, what is supposed to be a
00:16:51.400
supposed to be a news article. The executive order states a man's assertion that he's a woman and his
00:16:57.740
requirement that others honor this falsehood is not consistent with the humility and selflessness
00:17:02.460
required of a service member. The judge wrote in her opinion that the president has both the power
00:17:06.980
and obligation to ensure military readiness, but noted that leaders of the armed forces have long
00:17:11.540
used that justification to, quote, deny marginalized persons the privilege of serving.
00:17:18.300
Okay, so Trump, you know, the guy that, you know, who actually runs the country and runs the military,
00:17:23.980
that guy, the president of the United States, I think is the title that he uses.
00:17:29.120
Trump believes that it threatens unit cohesion and military readiness to have people in the military
00:17:34.600
who are totally disconnected from reality, people who are not living in the real world.
00:17:40.780
People who are in some fantasy land of their own mental construction. He thinks that having people like
00:17:46.020
that in the military is a threat to unit cohesion and the lethality of our forces. That's what Trump thinks.
00:17:52.240
This random federal judge happens to personally disagree. She personally feels that it's actually
00:18:00.420
a great idea to invite people in who are deeply confused about the basic facts of our physical
00:18:05.500
reality and to invite them into the military. That's how she feels. So the two of them feel
00:18:10.920
different, different ways about it. Now, obviously Trump is right. He's correct about this.
00:18:17.780
Clearly, yes, when you have a man in the military who is pretending to be a woman,
0.98
00:18:24.160
that does, among other things, threaten the cohesion of everyone else in his unit.
00:18:30.400
You know, we want everyone in the military to be focused solely on defending the country and
00:18:35.540
killing the enemy. That's what the military is for. That's their job. That should be their sole focus.
00:18:42.060
Anything that does not assist in that effort, anything that is not pointed at that objective,
00:18:50.700
anything that doesn't advance the mission is not good.
00:18:56.100
Their focus should then not be on affirming some guy's female self-identity. And for the trans
00:19:03.080
people themselves, we know that their top priority personally will never be defending the nation and
00:19:08.400
killing the bad guy. Their top priority will always be the affirmation and reinforcement of their false
00:19:12.920
identities. You know, if I showed up to the recruitment office to sign up for the army or the
00:19:19.560
Marines, and I was filling out the paperwork, and on the paperwork, I wrote that I'm a zebra,
00:19:26.380
I would not be accepted into the military. And nobody would expect that I would be.
00:19:30.540
Even if I said the fact that I'm a zebra is not a major focus of mine. Even if I said,
00:19:37.500
you know, I'm a zebra, but it's not a big deal. But, you know, it's just, I happen to be one.
00:19:41.040
I happen to be a zebra. I don't make a big thing of it. But just so you guys know, before I sign up,
00:19:45.500
I want you to know I am a zebra. Even if I'm a patriot, I want to fight for the country.
00:19:53.300
Even if that was the case. I say, don't worry, I won't make a big thing of it. I just happen to
00:20:00.360
be a zebra. None of that would matter. Having someone in the unit who thinks he's a zebra is
00:20:05.980
a completely unnecessary and totally egregious distraction. Not to mention that there are now
00:20:13.240
very serious questions about my own stability and my own mental clarity and resilience. How can
00:20:18.080
the United States government issue me a weapon as a man who thinks I'm a zebra?
00:20:23.300
And why would they do this? Yes, there might be some recruitment shortages and that situation is
00:20:30.140
getting better. But there are still plenty of potential recruits out there who don't think
00:20:35.640
that they're zebras. So we don't need to start recruiting from the zoo just yet. So that's why
00:20:42.000
Trump's order makes sense for that reason. But here's the thing. All of that is almost irrelevant,
00:20:52.240
really. The fact that Trump is right on the merits here is good that he's right. But when it comes to
00:21:02.940
what this judge is doing, it's almost irrelevant. Because the point is that Trump runs the military.
00:21:10.520
He's the commander in chief. He's allowed to determine these kinds of policies. You don't have
00:21:17.800
to agree with them. You don't have to agree with the way that he operates as commander in chief. But he is
00:21:24.460
the commander in chief. The fact that the judge personally disagrees with his policy is totally
00:21:31.300
irrelevant. Because she doesn't get to determine the policy for military recruitment. She is not the
1.00
00:21:38.320
president. These judges are not the president. So if you're on the left and you're listening to this,
00:21:44.340
try to understand, okay, try to understand this very basic point. These judges are not the president.
00:21:53.280
Which means there must be some powers that the president has that the judges don't. Because if
00:22:02.600
there's nothing, if the judges can just override anything Trump does with the stroke of a pen,
00:22:10.480
then the judges are all the president altogether. Each federal judge is the president.
00:22:16.260
The branches of government. Now, for all these leftists who are going on about constitutional
00:22:24.180
crisis. Like, what do you know about the constitution? And since when did you give a
00:22:27.940
damn about it anyway? But you know what the constitution says? The constitution says that
00:22:33.600
the branches of the government are co-equal, separate but equal. Have you heard about that
00:22:37.380
phrase? You know, it's very, very, hopefully you'll learn that in civics and grade school.
00:22:41.480
Which means that judges cannot supersede the president in every case. None of these people
00:22:51.320
were voted into office to set policy. None of these people were voted into office at all.
00:22:56.520
These are unelected judges trying to override not just the president, but the will of the people.
00:23:01.620
The people voted for Trump so that he would put policies like this in place. Yes, even the trans
0.99
00:23:08.840
ban in the military. Trump put that in place in his first term. People that voted for him knew that.
00:23:15.820
You know, when you vote for a guy who was already in office once, what you're saying,
00:23:19.480
what your message is, yeah, I'd like more of that. So I want him to continue doing what he was,
00:23:24.400
I might want him to do other things as well, but I approve of how he governed and I'd like to have
00:23:30.640
more of that, please. That's what the voters are saying.
00:23:34.240
So you have the president as the commander in chief, you have the voters who put him into play,
00:23:41.980
who elected him to set these policies. And then some unelected random federal judge can just come
0.99
00:23:52.340
along and say, nope, sorry, you can't do any of that. You know why you can't do it? Because I
00:23:57.180
personally don't like it. I'm a judge. I personally think that it's bad. And so you can't do it.
00:24:05.880
Now, these judges are illegitimate at this point. They're trying to upend the constitution and our
00:24:10.480
entire system of government. Trump should ignore them, ignore all of them. I mean, ignore this woman
1.00
00:24:18.500
and her does enforce the ban anyway. So you say to her, oh, you think we should not ban trans? Well,
1.00
00:24:24.540
okay. I'm glad. Thanks for sharing. Thanks for letting us know. Your opinion is very interesting,
00:24:33.320
but we're going to go ahead and do what we want to do anyway.
00:24:38.020
There needs to be an all out war at this point against activist judges. And what does that war
0.97
00:24:45.020
look like? Well, it begins with this by just ignoring them, drawing the line in the sand and
00:24:50.240
saying, okay, the judges, judges have certain powers, certain responsibilities, a certain
00:24:56.140
jurisdiction, but their powers and jurisdiction do not encompass everything.
00:25:05.800
Okay. If we're going to delineate what their powers are, it cannot be. The delineation is not,
00:25:11.700
oh, they can do everything. That's not it. And so you draw the line and you say, well, here's what,
00:25:17.100
here's what judges are allowed to do. Anything over that line, we are not going to listen to.
00:25:24.040
We are just going to ignore it. And, um, where does it go from there? What's the next,
00:25:31.820
what happens next? I don't know exactly. I mean, eventually it sends up at the Supreme court, but
00:25:35.140
Trump's hand is forced here. That's where this needs to end up. But, um, in the meantime,
00:25:45.580
I think you got to draw this line and, uh, and make it very clear. Okay. This is a fun. I don't,
00:25:51.620
I don't know. I don't know when this video was made. I, I happened to see it on X yesterday. This
00:25:55.560
is a video made by the outlet. Now this, and, um, it's about yours truly. It's about, it's about me.
00:26:03.140
And apparently now this is very troubled that I was invited to the joint session speech a couple
00:26:08.280
of weeks ago. And they, they made this video, uh, after the fact to expose my extremism. And, uh,
00:26:16.200
I don't know. I just happened to see this pop up on, on X and I thought it was pretty great. So
00:26:20.080
here it is. Watch. I am literally a theocratic fascist. I do indeed believe that my religious
00:26:27.460
beliefs should be forced on people by the government. Why did Speaker Mike Johnson invite
00:26:31.800
this far right influencer to attend Trump's speech to Congress? Matt Walsh describes himself as a
00:26:36.220
theocratic fascist, an ideology that combines ultra nationalism, authoritarian rule, and forcibly
00:26:41.100
imposing his Christian religious beliefs on the population. He's criticized the equal rights
00:26:45.120
amendment, which prohibits discrimination. He believes white men are under attack. He's extremely
00:26:49.300
anti-LGBTQI plus, and he has an obsession with violence and control. His ideas are heard by
0.96
00:26:54.160
millions as a commentator for the right-wing propaganda company, the daily wire, which
00:26:57.900
was co-founded by Ben Shapiro. Yeah. You need to get over slavery. You do. The only group of people
00:27:02.640
that in this country that are being erased in any, in any kind of meaningful way, historically are
00:27:08.400
white. Nearly every good thing you have in your life was given to you by a white man. We are not
0.65
00:27:13.700
going to rest until every child is protected, until trans ideology is entirely erased from
00:27:19.520
the earth. We should treat it as a hate symbol because that's what it is. They fly the flag
1.00
00:27:24.420
because they hate you. Two men should not be allowed to adopt babies because babies need mothers. They
1.00
00:27:30.180
also need fathers, which is why two women shouldn't be allowed either. And this is just the tip of the
1.00
00:27:33.800
iceberg. So why would a guy like this be invited to Trump's address to Congress? Well, he kind of fits in
00:27:38.300
perfectly. He just says the quiet part out loud. Now that Trump's in office and Republicans control
00:27:42.700
the House and Senate, they can be as brazen as they want with their actions. The mask is off. So
00:27:47.000
when conservatives wonder why anyone would feel like their rights are under attack, it's because
00:27:50.660
they clearly are. It's because people like this have a seat at the table and the power to influence
00:27:54.980
our laws. Okay. Very scary stuff there, as you can see. I'm, you know, I'm, I'm not usually a scary
00:28:01.360
guy, but when you put that creepy music in the background, suddenly I become Darth Vader or something. I'm
00:28:06.280
pretty terrifying. And I will say, um, well, first of all, I hope you all appreciate, I know you do just how
00:28:13.080
long, uh, I will stick with a troll. I think I can say without any ego that I am one of the most committed
00:28:20.760
trolls in the country. I feel I can say that and maybe you would all agree. So this, this theocratic fascist
00:28:27.680
thing, like somebody called me that on Twitter, like eight years ago or, or something around, around this, I think
00:28:34.680
it was seven or eight years ago. And I decided to troll him by putting it in my bio on Twitter at the
00:28:40.960
time. And I stuck with this troll ever since then. And I've gotten way more mileage out of it than I
00:28:48.720
ever should have been able to get. I mean, I got way more mileage out of it than I should have. So
00:28:53.540
it's been great. Um, but I'm kidding, of course, not, none of this is a troll. I say all that, but
00:29:00.420
really I'm joking. I mean, I'm totally serious about being a theocratic fascist. Uh, you're
00:29:04.920
right about that. Now, this, your rights are under attack, not by Trump. Trump has not done a single
00:29:13.060
thing to take away anyone's human rights at all. Trump has taken away zero rights from anyone ever.
00:29:21.880
But, um, but yeah, I want him to take rights away. You're correct that I have a seat at the table.
00:29:27.980
I'm at Trump's table every day in the Oval Office. I sit around the table. I'm in a meeting every day
00:29:35.320
with President Trump. And I say to him, Mr. President, when can we start taking the rights
00:29:40.660
away? When does that happen? That's supposed to be the whole, the whole fun part of having a seat
00:29:46.080
at the table is deciding whose rights we take away and which rights. I thought that was, that's the
00:29:50.380
whole reason I'm here is what I say when I'm sitting around. It's a table very much like this one,
00:29:53.700
but I'm sitting at right now. Um, and every day, you know, we kind of, the way it works
00:29:58.880
is, uh, every day we go around the table when, you know, when I'm in, and we're all there and
00:30:04.600
it's me and the president and J.D. Vance and whoever else. And that's the whole, it's the whole
00:30:09.500
cabinet. And we go around the table and Trump asks each of us what's on our agenda for that day.
00:30:15.400
And when he gets to me, I always say, well, I want to take away some human rights today.
00:30:21.300
Yeah. I've written a short list of the 35 rights that I would like to take away today,
00:30:25.800
Mr. President, but he never lets me do it. That's the ridiculous part.
00:30:30.020
So what I'm saying is this woman is half right. Her rights are under attack by me,
0.85
00:30:35.680
but not by Trump, sadly. In fact, I've proposed a few times now that the entire staff of now this
00:30:42.940
news should be sent to Alcatraz. And I know when I say that you're like, well, Alcatraz is a tourist
00:30:48.880
spot now. And, uh, I know that I'm saying we keep it a tourist spot, but my point is that it's a lot
00:30:54.360
more fun for the tourists if there are actual prisoners inside the prison. Right. So I suggested
00:30:59.360
we put now this news in there, uh, maybe a couple of the ladies from the view. Um, I think in my,
00:31:06.100
one of my proposals, Don Lemon was also going to Alcatraz. So I have a whole list of people I want to put
00:31:10.740
in prison and I've, I've, you know, I've kind of helpfully selected which prisons I'd like to
00:31:15.020
put them in. And some of them are, uh, are prisons that are currently open. Some of them are older
00:31:19.300
prisons. Um, so, uh, but we haven't been able to do any of it so far. So it's pretty frustrating,
00:31:25.360
but you know what? Maybe that's why I just need to run for president in 2028. And I like J.D. Vance.
00:31:30.380
I think is great, but we need someone who is going to get serious about ushering in a thousand
00:31:37.840
years of right-wing tyranny. And, uh, I just don't believe that J.D. Vance will actually do that.
00:31:43.260
I will. I'm the guy for that job. So now this news, they, uh, they have me dead to rights on that.
00:31:50.060
I can't deny it. Very good video there. Here's another one. This is, uh, Joy Reed, um, who, uh,
00:31:58.760
I also have her signed up for Alcatraz, by the way, talking about what her mother discovered when,
00:32:04.620
uh, when she emigrated to the United States. Uh, listen to this.
00:32:10.960
And I mean, and as somebody who's, you know, my, my parents, my, my father was from the Congo
00:32:15.920
and my mother was from Guyana. And so they were the immigrants who came here on purpose
1.00
00:32:19.960
and they got the rude awakening. My mother got the rude awakening, like, oh, it's racist.
1.00
00:32:22.960
That's weird. So it's, uh, it's a little hard to hear, but she says that her, her parents
00:32:40.660
who are from the Congo and Guyana, her mother's from Guyana, that she says that they came here
00:32:47.200
and they discovered that, that it's not a land of opportunity, that this is not a land
00:32:54.140
of opportunity for people like them. No, it's black people of color, as she would say,
00:32:59.860
is what she's referring to. And that's a really interesting thing for Joy Reed to say of all
00:33:04.160
people, because I know from Wikipedia, which I just checked two seconds ago that her, her
00:33:09.640
parents came here and individually, separately, and then they met each other in graduate school
00:33:15.120
in America. So they got off the boat from their respective impoverished African countries
00:33:21.040
and immediately made it into graduate school. So I would say this country proved itself to be a
00:33:27.380
land of opportunity right away for them. And then apparently her father became an engineer.
00:33:34.440
Uh, though Wikipedia tells me that unsurprisingly, this will shock you. Uh, her, her father was absent
00:33:39.000
from the family, but he did become an engineer. So I'd say there's a lot of opportunity there.
00:33:42.520
I don't know what her mother did for a job because Wikipedia didn't say, but I do know
00:33:45.860
that, uh, her mother's daughter, that would be Joy Reed herself, went on to become a famous TV
0.99
00:33:52.300
personality who, before she just got fired, was earning $3 million a year from MSNBC.
0.98
00:33:58.460
Now, just to compare the average annual income in the Congo is $450, 450 annually.
00:34:08.500
So Joy Reed was earning like 7,000 times the average income of her father's home country.
00:34:17.700
Uh, the average annual income in Guyana is, uh, oh, I've seen different estimates, but I think it's
00:34:22.160
like $7,000. So Joy was beating that by quite a margin. Her salary was, you know, 400 to 500 times
0.88
00:34:29.000
the average salary in her mother's home country. So, uh, land of opportunity. Well,
00:34:37.060
did this country prove to be a land of opportunity for Joy Reed and her family? She says no.
00:34:45.900
But what I see is that in one generation, her family has gone from living in the poorest and
00:34:51.460
most destitute parts of the world to financial prosperity. Her family went from Guyana to millions
00:34:59.520
of dollars. Let me ask you this. What if her parents had stayed in Africa? What, what if, uh,
00:35:05.320
if they'd stayed and they met somehow in Africa and they live now in Guyana or Congo, what are the
00:35:11.360
chances that Joy Reed would have a net worth of $4 million as she's estimated to have now? What are the
00:35:18.920
chances if they had not come here and yet they'd still gotten married? And so Joy Reed still, still
00:35:24.600
exists in this alternative universe? What are the chances that she's, uh, that she at any point
00:35:32.960
at this point in her life has made, has earned $3 million in a single year? What are the chances
00:35:37.620
that she's earned $3 million in her, in, in her, her lifespan? If she had been in Africa this whole time,
0.97
00:35:45.160
I'd say, you know, approximately 0% or so. So yet again, we see just the total lack of gratitude,
00:35:56.360
just this complete lack of gratitude, um, from, from the left, from so many of the people that
00:36:06.700
come to this country, a complete lack of gratitude that I find to be frankly, pretty obscene.
00:36:16.360
If you're a man, it's required that you grow a bit. Hey, we're the sweet baby gang.
00:36:25.720
Only two things in life are certain death and taxes. Well, now there's a third certainty. If
00:36:29.960

00:37:17.220
were staring that poor mother down while they were talking their nonsense was making my blood boil.
00:37:22.260
Please go, Matt. Please. Yeah, I had my team reach out to the mother. Uh, so we're gonna, we're gonna look
00:37:26.420
into this and, uh, see, see what we could do. But this is, um, this is a, uh, a case that should be
00:37:33.260
getting a lot more national attention than it is. I mean, the case of the mother who, if you didn't
00:37:41.620
watch the show yesterday, uh, at a school district in Illinois, she is alleging, and I certainly believe
1.00
00:37:47.120
her a hundred percent, but what she's saying is that her, uh, daughter and some of her daughter's
00:37:52.220
friends, uh, were, uh, not only forced to use a locker room with a boy, with a trans-identifying
0.88
00:38:02.100
boy, but that school officials stood there and made sure that they got undressed and got changed
00:38:08.420
for gym class or whatever it was, uh, while this boy was there. So this is a, a major, major scandal
00:38:18.440
and, uh, everybody involved in it, all the adults involved need to be fired at a minimum.
00:38:28.160
And so we got to do everything we can to make sure that happens. Uh, another comment says a child
00:38:32.220
being forced to undress in front of anybody, male or female is abused. This is so beyond disturbing,
00:38:36.000
right? This should not need to be said of all the things that don't need to be said. This
00:38:40.280
should need to be said the least. Uh, there is never, ever, ever, ever a situation where it would
00:38:47.940
be remotely appropriate for school officials to compel the children in their care to get undressed.
00:38:53.420
Um, it's to even say, to even articulate that thought, uh, is it's, it's just disturbing that it
00:39:03.860
needs to be articulated. But of course, apparently it does in this case, notice how aggressive and
00:39:10.300
vindictive they get when they feel they have the strength of force in the room. Talking about the
00:39:14.180
trans activists at the school board meeting. Yeah, you're right. When they have numbers, when they
00:39:18.200
have the power, these are the most vicious and cruel human beings on earth. They really are.
00:39:23.140
Uh, when you get trans activists, especially all together in a group and they feel empowered,
00:39:28.260
they feel safer, you know, um, I mean, classic bully mentality, obviously. Uh, but when they,
00:39:36.700
when they feel like there's nothing to lose and they've got this woman outnumbered, they can just
0.99
00:39:41.000
be totally vicious to her. Um, and that's how these people operate. Poor Emma Lazarus, her poem isn't
1.00
00:39:49.280
dumb. That French diplomat is dumb. America was built on immigrants. The poem aims to speak to a
1.00
00:39:54.340
different message. Not that America should inhale the world's worst populations. No, the Statue of
00:39:59.240
Liberty poem is dumb. Both are dumb. The diplomat and the poem are both dumb. No matter how you try
00:40:04.800
to spin it, the poem is declaring that America welcomes all of the refuse of the world, the
1.00
00:40:10.160
homeless and the wretched. And that's a nice sentiment if you don't think about it for more
00:40:14.560
than two seconds, but it's not a policy that any nation that wants to continue existing can actually
00:40:19.680
adopt. And as for America being built on immigrants, we've addressed this so many times, I'll address
0.83
00:40:25.960
it again. It's not true. I don't know how many times this needs to be corrected. America is not
00:40:32.240
a nation of immigrants. America was, is not a nation of immigrants. It's not a nation built
00:40:36.080
on immigrants. Uh, America was built on settlers. Okay. And that's an entirely different thing.
0.92
00:40:44.860
Our country was built on and by settlers. We were not a nation of immigrants, but rather a nation of
0.96
00:40:52.480
settlers. Settlers came to a country that had barely been formed or had not even been formed at
00:41:00.300
all, depending on when they came. And they came to a land that was mostly wild, untamed, unknown.
00:41:07.940
They came at a time when almost nobody lived west of the Mississippi. And if you know anything about
00:41:14.340
American, you know, the, the, the geography of the continental United States, west of the Mississippi
00:41:19.300
is most of the country and hardly anyone lived there. And yes, I'm including the Indians when I
0.92
00:41:25.680
say almost no one lived there because even factoring the Indians in still almost no one lived out there.
00:41:32.340
And the settlers had to strike out into that wilderness and tame it and settle it and, and
00:41:39.000
die for it and build it up and protect it. I mean, literally build it. They had to build it. They
00:41:47.080
had to build a civilization out of the wilderness. That is not what modern immigrants are doing.
1.00
00:41:55.540
They are not doing anything that resembles that. It is a completely different thing.
00:42:00.640
You have on the one hand, people who came here into a wilderness and built it into a civilization.
00:42:09.220
And on the other hand, you have people that are coming into a civilization that has already
00:42:12.780
been long since built and they are coming to take advantage of it and to profit from it
00:42:20.760
and to be taken care of by it. To not just different things, but opposite things.
00:42:32.280
The modern immigrants is in many ways, the opposite of an American settler 250, 300 years ago,
1.00
00:42:41.760
300 years ago, they would not have been American settlers, but, but, you know, a settler who came
00:42:49.960
to the Americas. We're talking about opposite opposites. Matt, I'm surprised you like your steak so
00:42:57.500
bland. I personally do salt, pepper, garlic powder, tallow, and fresh rosemary. It brings your steak to
00:43:02.900
life without polluting the steak flavor itself. Give it a try. It'll be life-changing. Well, it's not
00:43:07.540
bland. A steak is supposed to taste like steak and it's, it's the meat that you want to taste. So the
00:43:12.460
meat is not bland and please do not put garlic powder on your steak. Please do not do that. Garlic
00:43:17.360
powder burns. Okay. It, it, it, and you have to cook the steak at a very high heat in order to get the
00:43:23.740
right sear on it. And so if you put garlic powder, you're going to burn the garlic powder. And, um, and so,
00:43:29.820
and then you end up with a steak with the flavor of burned garlic. Why do you want that? So if you want
00:43:36.220
some garlic flavor in your steak, just throw some fresh garlic into the pan while you're cooking.
00:43:40.120
If you want to throw some fresh rosemary and you could do that too. Uh, but personally, I don't,
00:43:44.380
I don't need the notes of rosemary and garlic on my steak. I don't need that. I want the taste of the
00:43:49.060
steak, right? That's it. Matt Walsh just said two things. The whole job of customer service is to have
00:43:56.140
happy, positive energy. And then I worked customer service. These two things don't comport.
00:44:02.200
Yeah. Well, I never said I was good at customer service. I never, never made that claim. I wasn't,
00:44:08.860
I was terrible at it. Uh, I, uh, I was as bad at it as you would imagine that I would be. I also
00:44:15.160
hated it. I truly despised customer service at the deepest levels of my being. I really hate it. I
00:44:21.180
understand why people hate it. I understand why people in these jobs hate doing them. I've done the
00:44:25.160
jobs. I hated doing them. I hated it so much. I, I, I, I'm, I'm just not wired for customer service
00:44:33.940
work as you can tell, but that doesn't change anything that I said. The job is the job you're
00:44:38.880
paid. You are paid to be cheerful, friendly, and to make the customer feel valued. That's the whole
00:44:44.840
job. That's what the job is. And so you might hate it and you might hate your customers, but that's
00:44:51.340
not their problem or it shouldn't be. And also, by the way, the, the, and this is a point that
00:44:59.380
becomes increasingly relevant. The only thing you can do as a customer service representative in
00:45:06.120
pretty much any industry at this point, uh, but in particular, the food, you know, the fast food
00:45:10.860
industry and the food service industry, the, the only thing you can do in that position
00:45:17.740
that is not replaceable by a machine is this, right? Is to be cheerful, friendly, and make the
00:45:27.460
customer feel valued because machines can do everything. Machines can easily push buttons.
00:45:33.600
They can put an order into the system or whatever else, what they can't do, what they will never be
00:45:40.460
able to do. We can say with, with confidence is exhibit authentic cheerfulness and friendliness
00:45:47.740
and make the customer feel valued. Like, you know, a machine can do something quickly and efficiently.
00:45:55.940
And so the customer might be happy about that, but the customer cannot have a pleasant human
00:46:01.540
interaction with a customer, with a, with a machine where they leave that feeling valued,
00:46:06.240
feeling like they are, you know, concerns mattered. They can't, that, that can't happen from a machine.
00:46:14.100
Um, so when you look at the, at the collapse of customer service and you see all these people
00:46:21.720
in customer service positions that, as we talked about yesterday, just hate their customers and
00:46:26.440
don't try to hide it. Um, not only are they not doing the job they're supposed to be doing,
00:46:31.840
but they're, they're just, they're kind of, they're big. They are begging to be replaced by machines
00:46:36.040
because the one single thing you could be doing that would justify you doing the job rather than
00:46:42.960
a machine you aren't doing. And so if you're gonna, if you're doing a job that a machine can do and on
00:46:49.680
top of it, you have a terrible attitude and you're making the customers feel, uh, the opposite of
00:46:55.180
valued, you're making them feel guilty for even being there. Uh, well, well then the companies
00:47:02.300
are going to look at that and say, well, yeah, it was like, it's, it's obviously a step up to just
00:47:06.520
have a machine. So just a word of warning there. America is on the comeback, but the culture war
00:47:13.940
is not over. That's why tomorrow we're releasing episode two of our five-part series, the case for
00:47:17.840
Derek Chauvin, the incident. Uh, in episode one, we analyzed the criminal background of George Floyd
00:47:23.040
and the professional record of Derek Chauvin. But tomorrow we're going moment by moment through
00:47:27.120
the famous video of this fateful day. And if you want to be part of the movement, fighting for the

00:47:53.040
When astronauts Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams went to space aboard Boeing Starliner capsule last
00:48:04.760
June, their mission was supposed to last just eight days, but because of catastrophic failures
00:48:08.880
with the design of Boeing's capsule, as well as the refusal of the Biden administration to bring
00:48:12.340
them back sooner, the two astronauts didn't return to earth until yesterday evening after roughly nine
00:48:17.260
months in space. SpaceX, which of course is run by Elon Musk, managed to do what Boeing, a much
00:48:22.780
larger and more established company could not do. Um, they guarantee the safe return of two
00:48:28.720
American astronauts who were stranded in space. No other company in this country or in the entire
00:48:32.620
world for that matter could have accomplished what SpaceX just did on this timeline. And then for
00:48:38.280
good measure, when the astronauts finally landed in the water, a bunch of dolphins, which is
00:48:42.280
apparently called a pot of dolphins began circling the capsule, almost like they're welcoming the
00:48:47.300
astronauts home. It was like something out of a Disney movie. So that's what Elon Musk has been up to
00:48:50.980
lately. He, if you sent him an email asking what he's accomplished in the last week, he could say
00:48:54.860
that he saved two astronauts lives, preserved all the data they've been collecting during their
00:48:58.980
experiments while they were in space and protected the reputation of America space program. And in the
00:49:03.920
process, he managed to entertain a pot of dolphins on top of it. In another era, these kinds of
00:49:10.120
achievements would unite the entire country. This would be, I think back to what happened when Gene
00:49:16.880
Kranz saved the crew of Apollo 13. They gave him the presidential medal of freedom. The state of
00:49:22.060
Ohio dedicated a day in August as Gene Kranz day. NASA handed him about 10 different awards. Ed
00:49:29.260
Harris played him in a movie with Tom Hanks. He told engineers to fit a square peg into a round hole.
00:49:35.600
He yelled failure is not an option. People, people loved it. He was a national hero among both Democrats
00:49:40.880
and Republicans. Half a century later, it's safe to assume that Elon Musk will not receive that kind of
00:49:45.820
treatment from Hollywood or anywhere else. And that's because we're no longer a country that
00:49:50.220
universally celebrates historic achievements for mankind. Instead, we're now split between two
00:49:54.620
distinct groups, people who celebrate human progress and people who resent it. This is a
00:49:59.420
distinction that's far more significant and far more destructive than any political disagreement
00:50:03.660
that's ever existed in the United States. It can't be resolved through logic or debate. It can't be
00:50:10.200
resolved on the battlefield either, at least not at the moment. That's because leftists have
00:50:15.300
resorted to acts of domestic terrorism to convey the extent of their hatred for Elon Musk and
00:50:20.920
presumably to offset their own crippling sense of inadequacy. They have embarked on a campaign of
00:50:26.560
arson, vandalism and terrorism in order to punish Elon Musk, not because they disagree with him
00:50:32.540
politically, but because he wants to advance the interests of the human race and they would rather
00:50:37.440
see the human race extinguish itself. To that end, since I last talked about the attacks on Tesla
00:50:42.640
stores and on Tesla vehicles, these incidents have only intensified. Here's just a handful of
00:50:48.300
these attacks in the past few days. Someone set fire to two cyber trucks late last night
00:50:53.700
at a Tesla dealership at 103rd and State Line. The FBI and ATF are assisting Kansas City,
00:50:59.140
Missouri police as they investigate this as arson. KMBC 9's Jarissa White shows us what happened.
00:51:04.640
Around 11 p.m., officers were called to a fire at a car lot.
00:51:13.300
A KCPD officer was close by when he noticed smoke coming from a Tesla cyber truck. The officer used
00:51:19.060
his fire extinguisher to try to put out the flames, but the fire continued to spread. KCFD was called
00:51:25.500
in to help. Our crews got on scene and the fire was in two cyber trucks.
00:51:30.300
Good morning. My name is Spencer Evans. I'm the special agent in charge of the FBI's Las Vegas
00:51:34.320
division. As you know, and as you heard this morning, the FBI has opened an investigation
00:51:38.640
into what was reported as initially as an arson at a Tesla facility that occurred at the Tesla
00:51:44.760
Collision Center in Las Vegas. As Assistant Sheriff Corrin noted, the FBI is working hand in glove with
00:51:51.760
our partners at the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department to investigate this incident.
00:51:55.220
This is being investigated by the FBI's Joint Terrorism Task Force.
00:51:59.440
We're seeing more reports of vandalized Teslas from all around the country.
00:52:03.260
The latest one happening in the Pacific Northwest. We want to warn you, some of the vandalism you see,
00:52:07.740
it's offensive. In suburban Seattle, police say six vehicles were tagged at a Tesla dealership.
00:52:13.240
One of them was a Cybertruck that was just at the dealership for maintenance.
00:52:16.940
It was spray painted and tagged. The truck's owners called the incident disheartening,
00:52:23.280
There are also now roughly a dozen documented instances of leftists keying Tesla vehicles
00:52:28.560
in parking lots or spray painting swastikas on them and so on. Of course, in the grand scheme
00:52:33.320
of things, this is a relatively small number of vehicles, but it's worth pointing out that
00:52:36.860
the people doing this are, of course, cowards who hide the moment they're caught. And a lot of them
00:52:42.680
are getting caught because Teslas have cameras that record suspicious activity at all times,
00:52:46.860
even when they're parked. One man who went viral for keying a Tesla in San Jose, for example,
00:52:51.460
denied that he had done so when somebody confronted him about it a few days later. Watch.
00:52:59.180
You're on video. Yeah. This is the guy. You just keyed a Tesla. You got a video online. I just saw it.
00:53:10.900
Yes, you did. You keyed a Tesla in a parking lot somewhere around here. What do you got to say
00:53:46.980
Well, you're on video. I said I plainly saw you doing it. You pulled up right next to it and
00:53:51.860
then you keyed it. You want to bet? I have to give the usual disclaimer that this man hasn't
00:53:58.180
been convicted yet. He's now been arrested and accused of felony vandalism by the San Jose
00:54:02.440
police. But assuming that this person is indeed guilty, which he appears to be since he looks like
00:54:07.500
the same person who keyed the car in the video and he was wearing the same clothes and driving the
00:54:11.020
same car. So, you know, all the pieces kind of add up. You have to admit that it's a pretty useful
00:54:16.460
demonstration of the sheer cowardice of Elon Musk's enemies. They think they're fighting
00:54:21.600
fascism by keying a random person's car and they won't even admit to it when they're on camera.
00:54:27.140
This is a pretty good sign that if Pam Bondi follows through in her promise to send all these
00:54:30.740
domestic terrorists to prison for at least five years, if she does that, this will stop very
1.00
00:54:35.240
quickly. We are dealing with deranged leftist thugs here. But if there's a silver lining, it's that
00:54:41.060
they happen to be very stupid and very cowardly. At the same time, we can't ignore the fact
00:54:46.420
that these thugs happen to have the endorsement of some of the most prominent figures in the
00:54:50.620
Democrat Party. The other day, for example, Tim Wall celebrated the decline of Tesla stock
00:54:55.280
as the result of domestic terrorism. This is the man who wanted to become the vice president
0.71
00:55:00.400
of the United States. Now he's jeering about the fact that an American company is being targeted
00:55:08.060
Saying on my phone, I know some of you know this on the iPhone, they've got that little stock
00:55:11.640
gap. I added Tesla to it to give me a little boost during the day.
00:55:22.760
And if you own one, if you own one, we're not blaming you. You can you can take dental
00:55:30.100
floss and pull the Tesla thing off, you know, and take out just telling you.
00:55:33.640
So on the one hand, you have a guy making self catching rockets and saving astronauts and
00:55:39.920
creating self driving cars. On the other hand, you have Tim Walls. Tim Walls does not create
00:55:45.480
anything. He's incapable of doing that in any context. He's one of the dumber politicians
00:55:50.540
to ever seek high office, which is really saying something. So all he can do, like so many other
00:55:56.420
Democrats, is celebrate destruction. Is there any doubt whatsoever that people like Tim Walls
00:56:02.020
would have cheered if those astronauts had blown up?
00:56:06.560
How would they have reacted? Is there any doubt that these people, they wanted this rescue
00:56:11.460
mission to fail? They wanted the astronauts to die on the way down. They would have been
00:56:16.440
thrilled by that. They were rooting for it. They were they were praying. They were praying
00:56:22.620
to Satan. They were praying to their God, Satan, that that it would happen because they want
00:56:28.180
Elon Musk to fail. That's all they care about. Like the people keying the cars, they are stupid
00:56:33.840
and cowardly. And there's maybe no greater example, certainly of the stupid part than
00:56:39.260
Arizona Senator Mark Kelly, who just announced a great fanfare that's I mean, fanfare in his
00:56:44.300
own mind anyway, that he got rid of his Tesla vehicle in order to protest Elon Musk. And he's
00:56:49.920
replaced it with a Chevy SUV because apparently leftists aren't concerned about greenhouse gas
00:56:54.240
emissions anymore. That's gone, by the wayside. In a video, Kelly explained his reasoning for
00:56:58.760
ditching the Tesla such as it is. Here's the video. Hey, folks, Mark Kelly here in Washington,
00:57:05.140
driving to work for the last time in my Tesla. When I bought this thing, I didn't think it was
00:57:11.360
going to become a political issue. Every time I get in this car in the last 60 days or so,
00:57:20.940
it reminds me of just how much damage Elon Musk and Donald Trump is doing to our country.
00:57:27.800
Talking about slashing Social Security, cutting health care benefits for poor people, for seniors.
00:57:35.100
It's one bad thing after the next. He's firing veterans. I'm a veteran. So I have a really hard
00:57:41.780
time driving around in this thing. So I think it's time for an upgrade today. So this is going
00:57:46.720
to be my last, last trip in this car. There are some things I really liked about it. There are
00:57:52.840
things I didn't like about it, but that doesn't matter. What matters is, you know, doing the right
00:57:58.740
thing. I think it's time to get rid of it. You know, Elon Musk kind of turned out to be
00:58:02.960
and I don't want to be driving the car built and designed. So looking forward to my new ride.
00:58:13.640
Now, it's not really worth responding to any of the lies at the beginning of the video. Mark
00:58:17.860
Kelly appears to be saying that every veteran is entitled to permanent employment in the federal
00:58:21.900
government and that Elon Musk is somehow cutting health care benefits and Social Security,
00:58:26.680
which isn't happening. None of that really makes sense. But the really interesting part is at the
00:58:30.700
end when Kelly explains that he's selling his Tesla because he doesn't want to drive a car
00:58:35.520
that was designed and built by an a-hole, as he put it. So if somebody is an a-hole,
0.96
00:58:41.340
then apparently Mark Kelly has no interest in using their inventions. Any product associated
00:58:46.480
with a CEO or any person who's an a-hole must be shunned for all time.
0.87
00:58:54.520
Now, if you buy into all the slander about Elon Musk, it might seem like a compelling line of
00:59:00.580
argument, or at least it might seem compelling right up until the moment you realize that,
00:59:04.540
well, pretty much every useful invention in history was designed by an a-hole, as Mark Kelly would put
00:59:11.640
it. I mean, has Mark Kelly ever heard of Henry Ford? Okay. If Kelly looks into Henry Ford for about
00:59:18.640
five minutes, he'll find a lot of cancel-worthy material there. He was a bit of an eccentric,
00:59:23.360
to put it politely. Does that mean that nobody should ever drive Ford trucks anymore? We have to sell
00:59:29.080
our F-150s. And while we're at it, Alexander Graham Bell thought that deaf people shouldn't
00:59:35.240
have children. Never mind the fact that he married a deaf woman. His perspective was that deaf people
00:59:40.440
were terminally ill and that sign language should be abolished. Alexander Graham Bell became a villain
00:59:46.640
of the deaf community as a result. As one historian put it, in the deaf world, he's remembered with rage.
00:59:51.420
Does this mean that we can't use telephones anymore? We need to sell our iPhones because
00:59:57.400
Alexander Graham Bell was cruel to deaf people? I mean, he was kind of an a-hole. Actually,
01:00:02.720
we definitely need to sell our iPhones because everyone knows that Steve Jobs was extremely
01:00:06.600
demanding to work for. I mean, by pretty much all accounts, the guy was an a-hole. He often fired
01:00:10.880
people on the spot simply because they couldn't answer his questions. And as we know, today's Democrats
01:00:16.400
think that firing an employee for any reason, even if they can't list five things they did in the past
01:00:20.240
week is totally unconscionable. Everyone is entitled to lifetime employment with no accountability,
01:00:25.320
according to Democrats. Therefore, we can assume with confidence that Mark Kelly will never own
01:00:29.060
any Apple products of any kind. I could go on and on and on, but really, Mark Kelly and his fellow
01:00:34.520
Democrats have made my point for me. Elon Musk's companies are saving astronauts, catching rocket
01:00:40.040
boosters in midair, deploying self-driving cars, restoring free speech to the internet, implanting neural
01:00:44.920
chips to allow paralyzed people to use computers. Meanwhile, leftists are keying cars and setting
01:00:49.860
fire to Tesla dealerships. I mean, they have made their anti-human agenda abundantly clear.
01:00:55.200
And they've done it at the worst possible time. They've done it precisely when Musk is demonstrating
01:00:59.900
a productive pro-civilization alternative to their pathetic nihilism. And that is why Mark Kelly and
01:01:06.580
every other anti-human leftist who attacks Elon Musk, even as he saves astronauts stranded in outer space,
01:01:12.340
is today canceled. That'll do it for the show today. Thanks for watching. Thanks for listening.
01:01:17.200
Have a great day. Talk to you tomorrow. Godspeed.
