0:45

on The Night Wall Show the media has

0:47

assembled the outraged mob once again this time

0:49

to hunt down and punish a frat boy

0:52

who allegedly made racist noises while confronting a

0:54

pro-Palestine protester at Ole Miss. Also a new

0:56

investigation reveals that the state of Massachusetts is

0:58

paying $21 a plate to feed glorified dog

1:01

food to illegal immigrants. The scandal

1:03

isn't the quality of the food but the fact

1:05

that they're spending tax money to feed illegal immigrants

1:07

in the first place and Kristi Noem goes on

1:09

Face the Nation to promote her new book. What

1:11

follows is one of the most bizarre and awkward

1:13

interviews any politician has ever given

1:15

and that's no exaggeration. We'll talk about all that

1:18

and more today on The Night Wall Show. Can

1:45

your savings weather another economic storm? Think about

1:47

what you've put away for the future. Inflation

1:49

can render cash worthless and real estate can

1:51

crash as it did in 2008. During times

1:54

of economic uncertainty or market volatility investors

1:56

tend to flock to gold as a

1:59

safe haven It's value

2:01

tends to increase during turbulent times providing a

2:03

buffer against market downturns. This is why people

2:05

are flocking to gold now and why Birch

2:07

Gold is busier than ever. Birch

2:10

Gold understands that navigating financial decisions can be

2:12

daunting. That's why their dedicated in-house IRA department

2:14

is there to guide you every step of

2:16

the way. Birch Gold is committed

2:18

to addressing your questions and concerns properly. Their team

2:20

is always ready to provide answers and clarity, whether

2:23

it's about fees, taxes and rollovers, or the timing

2:25

of the process. They are here

2:27

to ensure you feel valued and well-informed. Text

2:30

Walsh to 989-898 to talk to one of the

2:32

Birch Gold experts and claim your free info kit on

2:34

gold. You'll learn how to convert an existing IRA or

2:36

401k into a tax-sheltered IRA in gold. The best part

2:39

is it doesn't cost you a penny out of

2:41

public. It just text Walsh to 989-898. That's

2:43

Walsh to 989-898. As

2:46

soon as the hobo encampments began popping up

2:49

on university campuses all over the country, it

2:51

was only natural to wonder how long these

2:53

students could hold out before something else grabbed

2:55

their attention. Gold's kids aren't

2:57

known for their commitment to anything necessarily, especially

3:00

right before the beginning of summer vacation. And

3:02

it was never clear exactly how stinking up

3:04

a few random quads and holding out for

3:07

humanitarian aid in the form of a Chipotle

3:09

burrito bowl was ever going to affect what's

3:11

happening in the Middle East anyway. Of

3:13

course, the whole operation, as I've

3:15

outlined previously, was never even about

3:18

Gaza or Israel in any way.

3:20

Instead, it's about repackaging anti-white hatred

3:22

into yet another astroturf national campaign

3:24

of riots and civil disorder just

3:26

in time for a presidential election. So at

3:29

some point, it's the reason these kids would

3:31

stop pretending to care about the war in

3:33

Gaza altogether. They would drop the act and

3:36

move on to something else. Over

3:38

the weekend, as if on cue, that pivot

3:40

took place. All at once on campuses and

3:42

inside newsrooms all over the country, left-wing

3:45

outrage over the Middle East subsided.

3:48

And it was replaced with abject

3:50

horror concerning a new, supposedly

3:53

far greater crime against humanity.

3:56

This this act of pure, unadulterated

3:58

evil took place. believe it on

4:01

the campus of the University of Mississippi. And

4:03

it was all recorded on video. Now,

4:05

if there are children in the room right now avert

4:08

their eyes or even turn off this

4:10

podcast because it's too much for them

4:12

to see, if you have a

4:15

sensitive stomach turn away now, this is footage

4:17

of the atrocity that was

4:19

caught live on camera. Face

4:21

yourself. The The

5:11

Okay, now if you're anything

5:13

like me you probably missed the part of

5:15

that footage that you're supposed to be angry

5:18

about The fact you're probably watching

5:20

a where's Waldo you're watching it. You're trying to

5:22

spot. Where's the offensive thing? It's kind of hard

5:24

to see for a supposedly

5:27

For such a supposedly earth-shattering event, you know, it's kind

5:29

of tough to spot Instead what

5:31

you see or what you think you see

5:33

is a bunch of frat bros who probably

5:35

aren't even that political They're probably just tired

5:38

of the narcissistic and highly fragrant

5:40

leftists who have been defiling their

5:43

campus They're pro-america

5:45

more than anything else. The American flag

5:47

overalls are pretty big clue

5:49

there Beyond those overalls

5:51

which are fantastic by the way What's

5:54

the big deal you might ask? Well leave

5:56

it to the crack reporting team of the Mississippi

5:58

Free Press to explain why exactly we should

6:00

be outraged. As one of the papers reporters

6:02

put it quote, a white Ole

6:05

Miss frat boy dances like a monkey

6:07

and makes monkey noises near a black

6:09

woman who was protesting for Palestine. Okay,

6:12

so if you go back and you look at the tape, and

6:14

you focus entirely on the right hand side of your

6:16

screen, you'll see about two seconds of

6:18

a student jumping up and down while

6:21

flailing his arms and making a face. And

6:24

we're supposed to conclude this student was

6:26

dancing like a monkey and therefore was

6:29

also insinuating that black people are like

6:31

monkeys. And in turn, we're

6:33

supposed to be extremely outraged by all this. Now,

6:36

there are a lot of logical leaps here, which

6:38

I'll get to in a second, the path from,

6:40

you know, normal to outrage, if

6:42

you want to get from one to the

6:44

other requires you to jump across like five

6:46

different widely spaced lily pads. But

6:49

first, it's important to understand that this

6:51

was the unanimous reaction from the left, even

6:53

as a supposed genocide, quote unquote, is going

6:55

on in the Middle East. This is what

6:58

they decided to hyperventilate over. Jamil

7:00

Hill got the lynch mob started she wrote quote, what

7:03

fraternity does he represent? The fraternity is

7:05

national leadership needs to be contacted immediately. And

7:08

that frat should be barred from campus. She

7:11

wants the whole frat barred from campus, not just that one

7:13

guy. CNN NPR, Newsweek, the

7:15

Associated Press, pretty much every other outlet

7:17

published similar pieces

7:19

with a similar tone about

7:21

the supposedly racist confrontation. A

7:24

former DNC field worker named Adam Parko

7:26

Manko wrote that this incident is yet

7:29

more proof that America is quote, a

7:31

racist country. The NAACP chapter at Ole

7:33

Miss bemoaned the quote, abhorrent,

7:35

but also entirely unacceptable and quote,

7:37

deeply disheartening behavior in the footage.

7:41

The Guardian reported that some said that

7:43

Mississippi, the Mississippi governor reminded them

7:46

of a segregationist, quote unquote, because

7:48

he put out a tweet praising the

7:51

students in that video. Just

7:53

to review that, he tweeted

7:55

out that clip probably didn't

7:57

even notice the supposed monkey sounds. Like

8:00

I didn't like a lot of people did the first time and he

8:04

Said something positive about the about the students

8:07

generally and so therefore he is a segregationist

8:09

That's the like I said, there's a lot

8:11

of logical leaps going on here The Daily Beast

8:13

called the clip gross left-wing lobbyist

8:15

Nina Turner wrote quote. This

8:17

is a video showing anti blackness My

8:20

turn are also Scott scolded congressman Mike Collins who

8:22

had praised the students in the video quote Representative

8:25

that is a white man making monkey gestures

8:27

at a black woman and

8:29

these protesters are not terrorists don't play

8:31

games Check yourself And

8:35

to be clear, it's not just commentators on the

8:37

left who are saying things like this some conservative

8:39

pundits joined in as well Rob

8:41

Smith for example wrote the Ole

8:43

Miss incident was incredibly racist. I don't care what

8:45

influencers say or post I care

8:47

what elected officials do represented Mike Collins is

8:49

an absolute clown for posting what he posted

8:51

I said what I said cry more I

8:55

think when somebody I like what someone is

8:57

crying says to other people cry more like

8:59

dude You're the one crying over that video that is

9:03

as innocuous as it gets Former

9:05

RNC chairman Michael Steele agreed quote representative

9:08

Mike Collins This is not taking care of business and if

9:10

you think it is exactly what is what is the business

9:12

you're referring to? Your casual approval

9:14

of racist behavior and the need you

9:16

seemingly feel to brag about it Object

9:19

failure of your leadership as a member of the

9:21

United States Congress and not a proud moment for

9:23

you or Ole Miss so

9:27

This is in short yet another moment where several

9:29

commentators on the right have joined in

9:31

with the outrage mob on the left Which

9:34

is something that that never happens the other way around

9:36

of course and in response to

9:38

this outrage from all sides The students fraternity

9:40

Phi Delta Theta has kicked them out. So

9:43

they have already Succumb to

9:45

the pressure that happened pretty much immediately.

9:47

Ole Miss has opened a student

9:49

conduct investigation, which sounds ominous And

9:52

instead of everybody just ignoring this episode and moving

9:54

on because that's about there's about 10 million more

9:56

important things happening in the country right now It's

9:59

funny following the standard cancellation template from 2020.

10:02

The students, it has been

10:04

doxxed online, his picture's all over the place,

10:06

he's being threatened. Organizations

10:09

are cutting ties, you know

10:11

the drill. The other familiar part of

10:13

the story is that once again, the

10:15

mob is claiming that out of context video

10:17

footage tells us everything we need to know

10:19

about the particular incident. But

10:22

as a basic factual matter, it's

10:24

not even clear to me that this student was

10:26

making monkey noises in the first place. Again,

10:29

he's featured in the video for something like 1.2 seconds. I

10:33

never noticed the quote unquote monkey noises until everyone

10:35

else pointed it out. And without that prompting, I'm

10:37

not sure I ever would have interpreted it that

10:39

way to begin with. And more

10:41

to the point, you know, there's something

10:43

funny and ironically racist about leftists

10:46

always trying to connect monkey noises to

10:49

black people. Like it

10:51

seems to me that if you see

10:53

that and you think, well, he's making

10:55

a monkey noise, you must be talking about a black person,

10:59

it seems like you're revealing something about

11:01

yourself and your

11:03

own perceptions more so than about this kid.

11:07

But this is a recurring theme and you have to wonder why that

11:09

is. They did the same thing in late 2022 when

11:12

somebody allegedly made monkey noises at a

11:14

girls high school volleyball game in Texas.

11:18

You might remember that incident because we talked about it on the

11:20

show, but you probably don't remember it because

11:22

the narrative was embarrassing for everybody involved

11:25

and the media immediately dropped it.

11:28

So just to refresh your memory, here's the allegedly

11:30

racist footage, which was uploaded by a mother in

11:32

the stands. I want you to

11:34

watch and listen and see if you

11:36

can detect the monkey noises here. ["Monkey

11:40

noises"] ["Monkey

11:58

noises"] Okay,

12:10

so now if you with

12:13

the prompting ahead of time that listen for the

12:15

monkey noises, you could probably hear something that's like,

12:17

okay, well, maybe I guess that's it.

12:19

You can hear someone's freaking in the

12:22

background. But without that prompting, I don't

12:27

know where your mind has to be without that prompting at

12:29

all to listen to a video like that. And

12:32

number one, think, oh, that

12:34

someone's definitely doing monkey noises. And then

12:36

number two, think, well, they must

12:38

be targeting it at black people. Like

12:41

to get from not just one, but to

12:43

make it to two. Again, you're saying

12:46

something about your own perceptions. It

12:48

would seem to me. Now, you'll notice that no

12:50

one in the stands or on the court reacted

12:52

in any way to these allegedly racist monkey noises.

12:55

In fact, not even the players who were supposedly

12:57

being targeted by these chants reacted. You can see

12:59

like everyone's just sitting there. No one's even looking

13:01

over to see what's going on. It

13:03

was only after this woman got home and uploaded the

13:06

footage saying that she heard a racist monkey chant that

13:08

some sort of investigation was launched by the school district.

13:11

But the story feels a lot though, because if you listen

13:13

to the footage, it's not remotely clear what the woman's

13:15

really talking about or what noises are being made or

13:17

who they're being

13:21

targeted at. People do all kinds of chants at sporting

13:23

events to make all kinds of noises for all kinds

13:25

of different reasons. So for

13:27

all we know, that's what's happening

13:29

at Ole Miss. Maybe this frat kid saw a

13:31

large irate woman intentionally antagonizing him and all of

13:34

his friends and maybe decided to jump up and

13:36

down to yell and mock her. Not because she's

13:38

black, but because she's being annoying and

13:40

she's antagonizing them. It's

13:43

even possible that he had no animus towards this

13:45

woman whatsoever. After all, during the same interaction, the

13:47

frat bros also referred to this

13:49

large black protester as Elizo. And

13:52

we're being told that that was also a racist racist

13:54

comment. But that's interesting to me because

13:57

previously we have been told you're a Not

14:00

unless, in fact, that Lizzo is the paragon

14:02

of female beauty. All

14:04

women should aspire to look and act like Lizzo.

14:08

So really, they were complimenting her, wasn't they? If

14:10

you think she's a beautiful woman, this is a compliment. So

14:13

maybe in this instance, imitation is the most sincere form

14:15

of flattery. Who knows? But here's the

14:17

important point. Even if the

14:19

student did what they accused him of doing, even

14:22

if he was imitating this Lizzo look alike

14:24

in a disparaging way. Then

14:27

at worst, he's guilty

14:29

of making an inappropriate joke. Now,

14:32

you can call it racist or bigoted if you want. If

14:34

it makes you feel more oppressed and that makes you feel

14:36

good, that's fine. It doesn't really matter. Whatever

14:39

you call it, this is not the sort of thing that

14:42

a kid should have his life destroyed over. There

14:44

are much worse sins than engaging in a

14:46

mocking dance for two seconds, no matter how

14:49

bigoted, quote unquote, that dance might allegedly be.

14:51

And the response to this student should reflect that. In

14:53

fact, at a public university like Ole

14:55

Miss, it's also not clear that the school has any

14:58

right to punish him at all. The First Amendment allows

15:00

students at public universities to exercise their right to freedom

15:02

of speech, which includes speech that many

15:04

people find bigoted or affirmative. And

15:07

also, by the way, if you've been listening to the show for

15:09

the last two weeks, you know that I have made that exact

15:11

same argument about free speech, applying

15:14

to even speech that we find abhorrent. I

15:16

have made that exact argument to the pro-Palestine

15:18

protesters, you know, in their

15:21

favor as well. Now,

15:23

there's been a lot, because there's actually been

15:25

a lot of that kind of speech on college campuses in

15:27

the last few weeks, if you haven't noticed. And

15:31

most of it's coming from the other side. And

15:34

there's no argument that this Ole Miss incident

15:36

is somehow uniquely offensive and horrible because pretty

15:38

much every day college kids are caught on

15:40

camera doing and saying things far worse than

15:42

this, especially during these protests.

15:44

And again, especially coming from the other side

15:46

of the protests. The

15:49

pro-Palestine protesters have said plenty of vile

15:51

things. One activist held up

15:53

a sign at Columbia saying Jewish students should be

15:55

Hamas's next target. Quote-unquote. Somebody

15:58

just yelled, kill the Jews at a rally. at Northeastern

16:00

University the other day. Now it's not clear

16:02

who exactly said that, but you'd think that

16:05

there'd be some proportional amount of interest in

16:07

answering that question, but there isn't

16:09

really. And of course

16:11

there's systematic anti-white and anti-Asian bias at all

16:13

of these schools in both admissions and hiring

16:15

all the time. And that impacts

16:18

a lot more lives than whatever this frat boy was doing

16:20

for two seconds. So if

16:22

we're gonna destroy this one kid's life over this two

16:24

second, whatever he was doing, then

16:27

we should, or I guess also expel

16:29

all these protestors and

16:32

fire every administrator in every one of these

16:34

schools. And until we

16:36

do that, then no one should even pretend to

16:38

care about this one Ole Miss frat boy being

16:40

bigoted or whatever. It's so

16:43

disingenuous that it's actually nauseating.

16:46

And this is a point that goes without saying, but I'll

16:50

say it anyway. If

16:52

this was a black student making racist statements

16:54

and gestures at a white frat boy, none

16:58

of these people would give a damn. The

17:01

outrage mob would either ignore it or outright

17:03

defend it. And

17:06

we have heard, by the way, we have

17:08

heard anti-white statements coming

17:10

from the pro-Palestine protestors. There was

17:12

someone on camera at one of these protests saying, we

17:14

don't like white people here. We hate white people here,

17:16

something like that pretty explicitly. But

17:22

you hardly remember it because there's no conversation about

17:24

it. Nobody cares. And

17:28

even more, we know this is the case

17:30

because the outrage

17:32

mob doesn't give a damn when white people

17:35

are beaten to a pulp on camera. I

17:37

mean, forget about mean things being said about them. For

17:41

example, here's a story that precisely nobody on the

17:43

left cares about. Remember the black guy in Brooklyn

17:45

whose sucker punched a 57 year old white woman

17:47

in the face breaking her jaw, we talked about

17:49

that. So he's a

17:51

habitual offender who's done this several times. Here's

17:54

that footage. An eye to

17:56

an eye witness news exclusive and yet another

17:59

unprovoked violent attack. in New York

18:01

City, this time in Brooklyn, a vicious sucker

18:03

punch out of nowhere yesterday to the face

18:05

of a woman as she was just walking

18:08

down the street in Crown Heights. Tonight she

18:10

is talking through her injuries to Iowa News

18:12

reporter Saphan Kim. It

18:15

is a random, unprovoked, vicious attack on

18:17

a 57-year-old woman in Brooklyn. Watch as

18:19

the suspect ignores another man walking nearby,

18:22

then punches the woman in her face, causing

18:24

her to stumble backwards. What

18:27

happened? What are you hearing? What are

18:29

you hearing? I was bleeding a lot. Mom,

18:32

I'm so scared, I'm so afraid. Dulce

18:34

Pachardo was on the receiving end of

18:36

that punch, her mouth now wired shut,

18:38

her face fractured in several places, drinking

18:40

food out of a straw for six

18:42

weeks, permanent damage to her lower lip,

18:44

three teeth knocked out, and she might

18:46

need surgery. In this Iowa News exclusive,

18:48

Pachardo says he didn't say a word,

18:51

just stared at her, then broke her jaw.

18:55

He hear me very, very strong over

18:57

here, and he break everything

18:59

here. Everything is

19:01

right. So it's another random,

19:04

unprovoked attack. They just assume that

19:06

none of these videos of black

19:08

people punching white people can possibly

19:10

be racially motivated. They're all

19:12

just random. You know, the

19:14

frat kids dance is immediately determined to

19:16

be racist, but a black

19:18

person going around punching white people is just

19:21

acting randomly. Well, maybe

19:23

the supposed monkey noises, if they were monkey

19:25

noises, were also random, and

19:28

random things happen all the time, apparently. And

19:31

anyway, that assault happened in March. What happened next?

19:33

Well, in a rare move in New York, prosecutors

19:35

upgraded this guy's charges to a felony. They

19:38

also wanted to put him in jail before trial, but

19:41

the judge overseeing this case, Brooklyn Supreme

19:43

Court Justice Matthew Schiarino, rejected

19:46

the prosecutor's bail request. So

19:48

he's back out on the street right

19:51

now. He's going to put that guy back on the street where

19:54

he can punch more people. And

19:56

if you have a problem with that, you should know

19:58

that the judge doesn't care. retired to Florida.

20:01

That's not an exaggeration. The judge has left the state.

20:04

So he released this guy and just left the state.

20:06

He's fled the hellhole of New York, which he has

20:08

helped to turn into a hellhole for a

20:10

state that actually enforces the law. Now

20:13

I can give about a million more examples

20:15

of anti-white violence that's not simply tolerated, but

20:17

endorsed by the most powerful institutions in this

20:19

country. Not only gets a fraction of the

20:21

attention of one white student doing a dance

20:23

for two seconds at Ole Miss, but

20:26

I don't need to go through all these examples

20:28

because it's not 2020 anymore. There's

20:30

no excuse for anyone on the right to fail to

20:32

recognize what's going on here. When

20:35

one side is allowed to commit racial violence

20:37

with impunity, while the lynch

20:40

mob assembles to punish the other side for

20:42

mockery and jokes, it's

20:44

a pretty big clue that nobody really

20:46

cares about the mockery and jokes. It's all a

20:48

power play. And

20:50

a lot of conservatives want a beat for beat

20:52

replay of 2020, which is clearly what

20:55

the left wants at this point. Then

20:57

it's well past time we stop pretending

20:59

otherwise. Now let's

21:01

get to our five headlines. You

21:08

know, there's nothing like sitting behind home plate at

21:10

a baseball game being courtside at a basketball game

21:12

or front row for your favorite concert. You want

21:14

the best, you have to act quickly or someone

21:17

else will instead. It's like if you're hiring for your

21:19

business, you want to find the most talented people for your

21:21

open roles before the competition scoops them

21:23

up. So what's the best way to do

21:25

that? Zip recruiter. Zip recruiter finds qualified candidates

21:51

that's zip recruiter.com/Walsh, zip recruiter, the

21:53

smartest way to hire. We

21:56

start with a CBS news investigation

21:58

in Massachusetts where taxpayers have

22:00

so far forked over a billion

22:03

dollars to feed and house

22:05

illegal immigrants and homeless people

22:07

and mostly homeless

22:09

illegal immigrants And

22:12

it turns out shockingly that this money is

22:14

being used in a very inefficient way. I Don't

22:17

know if you can believe that It's like

22:19

I said, it's shocking Have you

22:21

ever heard of such a thing that? The

22:24

government is spending millions of dollars on something and

22:26

doing it in the least efficient Most

22:29

expensive least effective way possible

22:32

It's making sure as it always does that it

22:35

gets the the the the least bang for its

22:37

buck that it possibly can or rather bang for

22:39

our buck that it possibly can Totally

22:42

unprecedented. Anyway, here's the here's the report

22:45

listen The

22:47

I think was first to uncover a ten

22:49

million dollar no-bid contract for a catering company

22:52

and the hotel groups collecting Millions

22:54

for housing and food contracts WBZ

22:56

chief investigator Cheryl Fandoc has been

22:58

digging into those contracts and discovered

23:01

There appears to be little to

23:03

no state oversight of the vendors

23:05

who are collecting tens of millions

23:07

in taxpayer money Honestly,

23:14

there's nothing edible. Here are some of the

23:16

dinners that taxpayers paid $21

23:19

for spaghetti with hot dogs and

23:21

rice with one chicken drumstick With

23:25

the with the hot dog in it really

23:27

that's we're paying $21 for that. Okay It's

23:31

just it's crazy These lunches and dinners

23:33

were given to migrants and homeless families

23:35

at the Fairfield Inn, Dedham, Boston The

23:38

contract obtained by the I team shows

23:40

the state is paying this one hotel

23:43

seven million three hundred and forty

23:45

three thousand three hundred and sixteen

23:47

dollars for food With

23:49

no provision or requirement that the

23:51

meals be nutritious or meet

23:54

USDA Recommendations leaving

23:56

it up to the hotel to decide what to

23:58

serve when you hire a vendor like that,

24:00

you ne really

24:03

really should have the

24:06

quality of the meals served.

24:09

But the contract oversight

24:11

provisions for it

24:14

give the state the rig Meaning

24:17

the state is payi without

24:20

knowing what it's I

24:22

don't think that we cou seeing just

24:24

how horribly when

24:28

you look at those me

24:31

at the cost of the hotels a

24:35

lot of negotiation to m better.

24:38

The fairfield in management.

24:41

Nine of its h contracts

24:44

and by the end 24,319,212

24:47

dollars for th Okay.

24:55

Um now,

24:57

first of al might

25:00

sound kind of gross does

25:05

remind me of how I a broke

25:07

and living alone fro Um

25:10

in fact, that meal for a

25:13

splurge because usually just

25:16

spaghetti or just a cheap foods

25:18

and easy to m feeling

25:21

fancy than I would And

25:25

another another combi was well

25:27

not loved but tha you

25:30

have instant mashed p hot

25:33

dog. So there's a two box of

25:35

instant mashed pot and

25:39

you put gravy on the knock

25:41

it till you try it here

25:46

is that the meal isn just

25:51

to be clear here, th meal.

25:56

Like this is this i The

26:00

local CBS affiliate in Boston has this is this

26:02

is the problem they have to them This

26:05

is why it's a scandal is because the the meal

26:07

the quality of the meal for these poor unhoused

26:11

Migrants is is not up to snuff. And so

26:13

for them that's the problem They have and the

26:15

woman that was they interviewed was a

26:18

nutrition professor. So they brought in a professor an

26:20

academic Uh to because

26:22

he needed an expert to tell us that a hot dog

26:24

and spaghetti isn't the most nutritional meal It's also not the

26:26

it's not the least nutritional meal either. I mean you could

26:28

do a lot worse um

26:32

But that's that's not really the scandal. Uh,

26:34

it's not that they failed to get FDA

26:36

approval or whatever It's not that there's not

26:38

enough nutritional value. Um, the

26:40

problem is threefold number

26:44

one the massachusetts

26:46

state government Um

26:48

has somehow found a way to

26:50

spend 21 On

26:53

a hot dog and spaghetti now

26:56

I know that inflation Is

26:59

bad right now But

27:02

it should not cost you 21 bucks for that meal

27:05

Because even with inflation, okay, a pack of

27:07

hot dogs is still like five or six

27:09

bucks Box

27:11

of spaghetti is is two or

27:13

three dollars Even with

27:15

inflation so even on even on like the higher

27:18

end If you're buying

27:20

like high quality hot dogs and higher

27:22

quality boxes of spaghetti You know

27:24

for ten dollars, you should be able to make like ten

27:26

plates Of gourmet spaghetti and

27:29

hot dogs Should run

27:31

you like one or two dollars a plate And

27:34

they're spending 20 times that Per

27:37

plate that's what they're doing. That's

27:39

problem number one. Um problem

27:42

number two, of course is that is that taxpayers are footing

27:44

the bill And

27:46

problem number three, which is actually problem number one. This

27:48

is the primary problem Is

27:50

that uh, this is all being done

27:52

for criminal aliens who are in this

27:55

country illegally? And shouldn't be here in

27:57

the first place Okay,

27:59

this is not this is not a problem that we should have

28:01

to solve. Feeding

28:04

these people should not be the issue. And

28:09

I'm also not interested in hearing, you know,

28:11

we just, there was that committee

28:14

hearing in New York on the migrant

28:16

crisis. We played the eclipse a couple

28:19

weeks ago, where you

28:21

had in this case, it was mostly migrants from

28:23

Africa who were called in and

28:26

were complaining about, I

28:28

don't know if it was spaghetti and hot dogs, but it was the

28:31

meals that they found to be

28:33

similarly, uh, uh, unappealing. And

28:35

they were complaining about the quality of the meal. Well,

28:38

I'm not really interested in hearing your complaint because

28:40

you shouldn't be here in the first place if

28:42

you're an illegal, uh, immigrant. Now,

28:45

you know, you know how I

28:48

feel about the illegal immigration crisis. You

28:51

know that I want the border to be shut

28:53

down. Um, it is

28:55

disgusting and an outrage that we

28:57

are allowing immigrants, uh, to come

28:59

here illegally and take

29:02

our resources, uh, take

29:04

it from, from us and our families while

29:06

actual Americans are suffering. So you know

29:08

where I stand in all that. So

29:10

rather than repeating those arguments, uh,

29:15

I think it's worthwhile to highlight another

29:17

fact that this story makes clear, which

29:20

is that even

29:22

if I agreed, even if we

29:24

all agreed that it was morally

29:27

rights and,

29:29

and ideal and even, even a moral obligation for

29:32

the United States to

29:34

act as a global homeless

29:36

shelter. Now I certainly do not agree with that.

29:38

I think most of the people watching the

29:40

show don't agree with that, but you

29:43

know, that's, that's the argument that's made from the

29:45

other side, that this is our obligation that we,

29:47

we are for whatever reason, for whatever reason, we

29:49

are obligated just because we happen to live here

29:51

in America. It is our obligation to

29:53

feed and house anyone who happens to

29:55

come here. We have, we have to

29:57

be prepared to feed and house the entire world. Now,

30:02

the interesting thing is the people that say that will

30:04

also be quick to mention

30:06

that America

30:09

is not in any way superior to anybody else.

30:14

American exceptionalism is a bigoted concept they'll tell

30:16

us. So we're not superior,

30:18

we're not exceptional. There's nothing special about us. In

30:20

fact, not only that, but we're worse than everybody.

30:23

We are like, we're moral cretins compared to the

30:26

rest of the world, they'll tell us. So

30:29

then at the same time, we have

30:31

a special obligation to take care

30:33

of everybody and no other country has it. So it

30:35

doesn't really make a lot of sense.

30:39

But let's just say for the sake of argument that

30:43

we were to agree with that. We say, you

30:45

know what, it's our moral obligation. We should, we

30:47

should, we should feed and house everybody. Invite

30:50

all eight billion, we can fit eight billion people here.

30:53

Like technically we can, technically

30:56

putting aside issues of resources and everything, technically we

30:58

could fit eight, we could fit the entire population

31:00

of the planet into America. Maybe

31:03

we should, maybe it's our obligation. Well, if

31:07

you accept that insane argument, you're still

31:09

left with the problem, with

31:11

the practical problem. You're left

31:14

with the issue on practical grounds that

31:17

our government is obviously not capable

31:21

of playing this role, of

31:24

playing the role of global homeless shelter. I'm

31:27

not sure that any government could do it. Certainly

31:30

there's no government that could feed and house the entire world, but

31:33

we certainly can't. I

31:36

mean, they're spending $21 on a plate of spaghetti

31:38

and a hot dog. So

31:41

they've found a way to make the

31:44

cheapest possible meal expensive. Like

31:48

I hate to see what would happen if they

31:50

started serving, I don't know, bologna sandwiches, bologna and

31:52

cheese sandwiches. It'd be like $95 a

31:54

plate. Bologna,

31:58

white bread, American cheese. Maybe

32:01

some baby carrots on the side. That's

32:03

a $95 plate at the four-star Uncle Sam

32:05

restaurant. So We

32:09

don't even you hardly need to get into the the

32:11

moral argument at all Again as

32:14

insane and deranged as the moral argument is from

32:16

the left. It's like we this

32:18

isn't this doesn't work. We can't do this It's

32:21

just not it's it's Let

32:24

some other government try it We

32:27

obviously can We're

32:29

over here playing $21 per plate for spaghetti and

32:31

a hot dog. That's that's what we're doing All

32:36

right, here's a clip that is circulating

32:38

online right now though it's actually from a few

32:40

months ago this is RFK

32:42

jr. Doing a town hall with Patrick

32:46

Bette David His

32:48

podcast and he's asked about

32:50

the issue of gender transitions for minors and

32:54

here's what he says What

32:57

will you do as a president to

32:59

get this nonsense out to prevent kids

33:01

under the age of 18? With

33:04

or without the consent of the father to transition you

33:06

may even say that is an okay policy You're a

33:08

part of that many families disagree with one.

33:11

What's your position on this and what

33:13

will you do as a president? I

33:15

mean my my position is that people

33:17

should not be able to have access

33:19

to those procedures that minor shouldn't without

33:21

parental permission and You

33:24

know, I don't I don't know

33:26

enough about it Patrick

33:28

to to say that it should

33:30

be completely illegal on the

33:32

18. No. No, but yes, I just

33:35

don't know enough Okay,

33:37

so he says he doesn't know enough And

33:40

like I said, this is from a couple of months

33:42

ago, but it's getting attention now for

33:45

whatever reasons circulating I

33:48

didn't see it until now or at least I don't remember I Don't

33:50

recall seeing it if I did and I

33:54

will say that RFK juniors defenders

33:56

have pointed out that this is a short

33:58

clip from a long time conversation on

34:00

the topic and they've said that

34:02

this is out of context and

34:05

that is a problem. It can be a problem of

34:08

out of context clips. We just talked about it to open

34:10

the show, circulating online all

34:12

the time and people assume

34:14

that they know everything they need to know based

34:16

on, you know, in this case a 45-second clip

34:18

or a two-second clip even. So

34:22

that can be a problem. But in this

34:24

case, actually it's not. Like this is not out

34:26

of context. There's nothing misleading about this clip. This

34:30

is his position as he stated it. And

34:32

if you watch the longer conversation where they

34:34

talk about this for seven or eight minutes,

34:37

it's just more of that. It's

34:40

more of that. It doesn't really

34:42

flesh out. Out of context would be

34:44

if he said this and

34:46

then if a minute later he said

34:48

something that completely changes our

34:51

perception of what we saw in that 45-second clip.

34:54

But there is nothing. It's just he kind of

34:56

circles around and around the point that he

34:58

makes in that clip here where he says

35:00

he doesn't really know enough about it and

35:03

he isn't an expert and so on and so on. And

35:06

I have to say that I

35:08

really find this kind of triangulation to be

35:14

more detestable than

35:16

actually just coming out explicitly in

35:18

favor of child gender transitions. Like

35:23

somehow I find the position that he

35:25

takes and that we often hear from

35:27

the so-called reasonable liberals,

35:29

which RFK Jr. is supposed to be one of them. But I

35:31

find that this kind of middle

35:35

ground, like I don't

35:37

always prefer if you just defend the

35:40

indefensible. Come out and try to

35:43

defend the indefensible rather than trying to find this

35:45

middle ground approach. If you're going to

35:49

defend the evil thing then just

35:51

defend it. It

35:54

seems even more deranged to try to, you

35:56

know, like, well, I can see from both sides.

36:00

It's like if we were debating, I

36:02

don't know, we were debating whether it's good to be a

36:04

serial killer. And

36:06

of course, most people are going to say, no, I think

36:08

being a serial killer is bad. Serial

36:11

killing is a bad thing. But then you

36:13

have a few actual serial killers who say, you know what, actually,

36:15

I think it's good. I'll tell you why I think

36:18

it's good. And that's really

36:20

demented. But then if you had

36:22

some people in the middle who were like, well, I think

36:25

we need more information on this topic. Before

36:27

we can determine, you know, you

36:29

got the anti serial killer saying one thing pro on the

36:31

end. And I can see we can both get good points.

36:34

I think I need to do what I don't have enough

36:36

information. I need to do more research on serial killing before

36:38

I decide how I feel about it. Somehow

36:42

that, to me, seems like the craziest

36:44

of the three possible positions that you

36:47

could take. There

36:50

are some things that

36:53

you should just know. You know, there

36:55

are some conclusions you should be able

36:57

to simply just draw without doing

37:01

any research, actually. Like

37:03

there are some things that don't take any research to figure

37:06

out. And I

37:08

know this is this. There are

37:10

plenty of times when doing research is a good thing. Plenty

37:13

of issues that there

37:16

are issues where you really shouldn't say anything about

37:18

them at all until you've done some research because

37:20

it requires research to understand. I

37:23

mean, any issue involving foreign policy,

37:25

for example, or most, most issues

37:27

involving foreign policy require research because

37:29

now you're dealing with countries and,

37:32

you know, geopolitics and

37:35

oftentimes disputes that go back years

37:38

and decades and centuries. And so it requires some

37:40

base of knowledge. It does require some research before

37:43

you can, you know, take a firm position

37:45

on it. And

37:49

we do have a problem of plenty of people taking

37:51

positions on things without doing any research whatsoever. But

37:54

there are times when the, well, we need

37:56

to do more research, where that can be,

37:58

that's a cop-out. Because

38:01

there are things you don't need to research. And

38:04

one of them is the question of, is

38:08

it okay to

38:10

chemically castrate children? That's

38:13

just not something you need to research. We don't need to

38:15

do any research on it. The

38:21

very first time that I discovered

38:23

that this was a thing that

38:25

was happening, whenever that was, years

38:27

ago, first time I ever encountered

38:29

this concept, I

38:33

immediately knew. Well, no, that's

38:35

terrible. That's obviously an

38:37

awful thing. We should not do that.

38:39

There's literally no context

38:41

that could ever make that okay. And

38:46

just so happens that I have done plenty of reading

38:48

on these issues ever since then, and, well, what do

38:50

you know? Everything that

38:52

you read only makes what is obvious, it

38:56

can't be any more obvious, but it only underscores

38:58

what should already be obvious to everybody. And

39:03

so, again, this is just one

39:05

of those things. And

39:08

it goes to show, if you cannot,

39:11

I know that RFK Jr., and

39:14

he has been, you know, he's

39:16

contradicted the left on a few issues,

39:20

like vaccines, of course, is the main one. And

39:24

it's really starting to seem like that's really the only one.

39:27

Because on every other issue that we've heard him

39:29

talk about over the last several months, he basically

39:32

just gives you, he either gives

39:34

you the full-on radical left playbook

39:36

on it, or he gives you something

39:38

like this, where it's like, it's basically, it is

39:41

taking the left side, but trying to do

39:43

it in a way that seems less committal,

39:45

but it's still the leftist position. And

39:49

so, yeah, he's, that one thing where he

39:51

had the guts to contradict the left, that's

39:53

fine. But

39:56

if you can't get this issue right, Either

40:00

because you really are confused about it somehow, or

40:04

you're too cowardly to come

40:07

out and say what you know to be true. Either

40:09

one. And I'm not sure which is worse.

40:11

Probably the cowardly thing is where being cowardice, being cowardly is

40:14

usually the worse than the alternative. But

40:17

whichever is the case, if

40:20

you cannot and

40:22

do not come

40:24

out explicitly and

40:27

firmly on an issue like this, then

40:29

it's just, you

40:31

know, you've totally discredited

40:34

yourself intellectually and morally. And

40:38

all of your opinions on every other topic have

40:41

now become irrelevant

40:44

and worthless. It's one of

40:46

those kinds of issues. All

40:48

right, now for your dose of cringe today, although

40:50

we've already seen plenty of it. It

40:52

is a heavy dose. I'm warning you. This

40:55

is a viral video posted by the

40:57

Twitter account Endwokeness, not made by

40:59

that account, but reposted to Twitter by it. This

41:02

video is made by students at Harvard Medical

41:04

School. And, uh,

41:06

Karen. Give me something

41:08

to believe. They passed all my tests, but I just came to read. And in a food chain,

41:11

we're the ones that eat it. Harvard met in a lot of places. And

41:13

then, these is the line of music. I've heard of Mr. Morgan. I've

41:15

been preaching to the radio. He doesn't come with strings. I still want

41:17

to hear it. I still want to hear it. I still want to

41:19

hear it. I still want to hear it. I still want to hear

41:21

it. I still want to hear it. I still want to hear it.

41:24

Uh, Karen. What do you think? Can

41:28

you raise a name? But

41:31

I've not been known.

41:34

You ask who is it? You can check my

41:36

coat. It'll spell my name. Uh-uh. Yeah.

41:39

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

41:42

You're messing with some Harvard. And,

41:44

these found my best friends for

41:47

love. I've

41:53

never been to Harvard. And, you deserve to find your back at Harvard.

41:55

And, thank you. There's

42:00

some dogs in this house. There's some

42:02

dogs in this house. So

42:07

there it is. Played a

42:09

whole minute of it for you. I thought you would, you know,

42:11

probably 15 seconds would have been enough. 10 to 5 seconds. I

42:14

mean, not playing it at all. It would have probably

42:16

been, you would have preferred that. 10,

42:19

15 seconds would have, you would have gotten the point. Decided

42:21

to go the whole minute for your

42:23

own, for your own good, for your

42:25

own betterment. It's a character

42:27

building exercise, like my dad always told

42:29

me. You

42:31

know, this is a, it's a good way to

42:33

do something you don't want to do, build character.

42:38

Now, if you're listening only to the audio podcast, then you could

42:40

hear the song, and maybe

42:42

in a certain way you experience the cringe

42:44

in an even more sort of direct

42:47

concentrated form. But

42:49

what you didn't see is not only, you missed

42:51

the dancing. Sad

42:53

to say for you. But you

42:55

also didn't see how many people were involved in this

42:57

thing. Like this was, there were 50 Harvard

43:00

M.D.s who got together on

43:03

four or five different locations across campus to

43:06

make the worst music video of all time. And can

43:09

I just say this, and I know I tend to harp

43:11

on this point, anytime we play bad

43:14

poetry or bad music, which we

43:16

so often do on the show. But

43:20

can you at least rhyme? I mean, look, you can't

43:23

rap, you can't sing, you can't dance. Fine. I'm

43:27

not going to blame you for that. But can you at least rhyme?

43:31

Can you make the lines rhyme? You're

43:33

Harvard M.D.s. You can't

43:35

figure out how to write lines that rhyme at

43:37

least. You're

43:40

messing with some Harvard M.D.s, found my

43:42

best friends for life as

43:44

a Harvard M.D. Giving

43:47

everything I got for, to be a Harvard M.D. or

43:49

whatever. That doesn't rhyme. You cannot

43:51

rhyme Harvard M.D. with Harvard M.D. And

43:56

also, by the way, you can't put best friends for

43:58

life. That phrase can't be done. cannot appear

44:00

in a rap song. You cannot, it's like

44:02

there are laws against that, or there should

44:04

be. But that's

44:06

really a minor concern in the grand scheme of things, I

44:08

suppose. Well,

44:10

actually, it's not minor. I think

44:13

people making rap songs and poetry

44:15

that doesn't rhyme, it's a real epidemic in this

44:17

country. It really upsets me a lot. Still,

44:21

the bigger issue is just the

44:23

total collapse of professionalism

44:27

everywhere in the country, especially in

44:29

the medical field, which

44:31

is the place where, you might argue, we need it the

44:33

most. Like

44:35

30 or 40 years ago, you

44:38

would not have been able to find any

44:41

Harvard MDs or MDs anywhere else that would

44:43

participate in something like this. They would just

44:45

never do it. And why

44:47

would they do it? Just because it's not, you

44:50

don't do that. It's a

44:52

certain dignity to being, or there should be,

44:54

to being in the medical profession, you're supposed

44:56

to be a very educated person. There's

44:59

a kind of dignity to that, and you wouldn't be

45:01

caught dead being participating in something like this. Not

45:04

because you can't have fun or anything like that, but

45:06

just like you would, especially not with

45:09

the white coats, and I don't know why they're wearing masks

45:11

the whole time, but they're in professional

45:13

attire doing this. And I think

45:16

not all that long ago, you would not have been able

45:18

to find any doctor who would participate

45:21

in that. And

45:24

now it's hard to find a doctor who won't do

45:26

something like this. I mean, it's like every

45:29

hospital and medical school in the country is

45:32

just churning out music

45:34

videos and dance videos and everything

45:36

constantly. And I

45:38

think that that is not

45:41

exactly a positive development. And

45:43

now a very special message from

45:45

our old friend, Adam Carolla. Catch

45:47

the series premiere of Mr. Burcham

45:49

this Sunday, nine o'clock, eight central,

45:52

exclusively on Daily Wire Plus. Episode

45:54

one is streaming for free. So

45:56

no excuses, people. Mr. Burcham has

45:58

decades in the making. and

46:00

now it's showtime. Check out the Mr. Burcham

46:02

trailer and see what the fuss is all

46:04

about. What's

46:07

up, what you need? Jumping in the first

46:09

one? Rolling, speed, action. Sawbok's looking a

46:11

little chubby-wubby. So I bought him some

46:14

new food. It's organic and vegan.

46:17

Dogs are supposed to eat meat. They're

46:19

descendants of wolves. You ever see a

46:21

vegan wolf on the Nature Channel? I'm

46:23

a vegan. Whoa! Coffee

46:27

is for closers, ladies. Listen up!

46:29

Hey, don't make this a prison

46:32

of ugly. I'm a heteronormative, cisgender,

46:34

white male. For which I apologize.

46:37

I'm black and that used to be

46:39

enough, but I'm also bilingual and I'm

46:41

non-binary. Where's the army? We drink more

46:43

before 9am than you navy pips do

46:45

all day. I dropped all the fur

46:47

off as emotional support. Mary, the damn

46:49

thing went like a four-legged penis. Oh!

46:55

Ahh! Charity

46:57

and work two words that should

47:00

never go together. Like women in

47:02

opinions. I want a burly man. They're salty

47:04

and make me dizzy. Sorry, H. You need

47:06

to find a thingy. Thanks for the gaming chair.

47:08

When I was on the construction site,

47:11

my chair was a five-gallon bucket. It

47:13

was also my toilet. I'm

47:20

going back to bed. Thanks a lot.

47:25

Remember, Mr. Merchant's series premiere. This

47:28

is on that 9 o'clock 8c

47:30

stream at 3 only on Daily

47:32

Wire Plus. Now

47:35

let's get to our daily cancellation. Well,

47:43

last week we endured one of the silliest

47:45

outrage cycles in recent memory when the media

47:48

and the Internet mob came together to scream

47:50

at South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem for killing

47:52

a dog 20 years ago. As

47:54

we discussed, the anger was absurdly overblown and

47:56

incredibly stupid, but Noem was

47:58

even stupider for bringing the the dog killing story

48:00

up in the first place. And she

48:02

included the anecdote in her forthcoming book titled

48:05

No Going Back, scheduled to be released I

48:07

believe tomorrow. The book is

48:09

obviously meant to increase her national political profile and

48:11

boost her unofficial campaign for vice president. Instead,

48:14

as any story about killing a dog is destined to

48:16

do in our culture, it torpedoed

48:18

her vice presidential aspirations and her political

48:20

career along with it. This

48:22

book was supposed to be her ticket to the White

48:24

House, but now she'll have to settle for being a

48:26

part-time Fox News contributor, which is where

48:29

her career would have ultimately ended up even

48:31

if she became vice president. So you might

48:33

say this just gets her to the ultimate

48:35

destination much more efficiently and quickly. But

48:37

in any event, it turns out that

48:39

the story of her poor deceased dog is

48:41

not the only strange detail that she or

48:43

more precisely her ghost writer included in the

48:46

book. On Sunday, she appeared

48:48

on Face the Nation to talk about the book and

48:51

conversation went from weird to weirder

48:53

very quickly. Watch. So

48:56

you write about lessons learned in

48:59

leadership and you bring up some

49:01

specific incidents I want to ask

49:03

you about. You talk about meeting

49:05

some world leaders and one specific

49:07

one. Quote, I remember when I

49:09

met with North Korean dictator Kim

49:11

Jong-un, I'm sure he

49:14

underestimated me having no clue about my

49:16

experience staring down little tyrants. I've

49:18

been a children's pastor after all.

49:21

Did you meet Kim Jong-un? Well,

49:25

you know, as soon as this was brought to my attention, I certainly

49:29

made some changes and looked at this

49:32

passage. And I've met with many, many

49:34

world leaders. I've traveled around the world.

49:37

As soon as it was brought to my attention, we went

49:40

forward and have made some edits. So I'm

49:42

glad that this book is being released in

49:44

a couple of days and that those edits

49:46

will be in place and that people will

49:48

have the updated version. So you did not

49:50

meet with Kim Jong-un. That's what you're saying.

49:55

No, I met with many, many world leaders, many

49:57

world leaders. I've traveled around the world, I think.

50:00

extensively in this book about my time

50:02

serving in Congress, my time as governor

50:04

before governor, some of the travels that

50:06

I've had. I'm not going to talk

50:08

about my specific meetings with world leaders.

50:10

I'm just not going to do that.

50:12

This anecdote shouldn't have been in the book. And as

50:15

soon as it was brought to my attention, I made

50:17

sure that that was adjusted. So the

50:20

book is not released until Tuesday. And we're doing

50:22

all that we can. So

50:24

she says that she's not going to talk

50:26

about any specific meeting with world leaders, except

50:28

that in her book, the one that she's

50:30

there to promote, she does

50:32

talk about a specific meeting, one with Kim Jong

50:34

Un. The problem is that any

50:37

vaguely aware person will know that the

50:39

communist dictator of North Korea probably isn't

50:42

holding any meetings with the governor of

50:44

South Dakota because why? And

50:48

no one was asked whether that meeting actually happened.

50:50

And all she will say is that it was

50:52

brought to her attention. And so

50:54

it will be changed in the book. Well,

50:57

what was brought to her attention? Did somebody bring

50:59

to her attention the fact that she never actually

51:01

met the leader of North Korea or did someone

51:04

bring to her attention the fact that this claim was

51:06

made in her book? And

51:08

if the former, then how could she have not

51:10

known that she didn't actually meet the leader of

51:12

North Korea? And if the latter, how

51:15

could she have not known that this claim was made in her book? Obviously,

51:17

the book was ghost written. No great scandal there.

51:19

But did she really not even

51:22

read her own book? Well,

51:24

we know she read it because she's the

51:26

narrator on the audiobook. So we're left with

51:28

two possibilities. Either she knowingly lied about meeting

51:30

Kim Jong Un and just assumed that nobody

51:32

would call her on it, or

51:34

she thought she met him only to find out

51:37

later that she didn't. Well,

51:39

how could that mistake be made? The interviewer

51:41

probes that question to find

51:43

out how could you mix this

51:46

up, but really doesn't get anywhere on that. It

51:48

all adds up to, as we can see,

51:50

the most awkward, cringiest kickoff to a book

51:53

tour that we've probably ever witnessed. And

51:55

it's not over. This exchange about North Korea and the

51:57

question of whether Nome has ever actually met Kim Jong

51:59

Un. or been to North Korea or

52:02

whether she knows where North Korea is or what it

52:04

is continues, all while known refuses

52:06

to admit that any mistake was made, even

52:08

though she says that the

52:10

thing she won't admit is a mistake is

52:13

being changed nonetheless before

52:15

it's released. Watch.

52:19

And I'm taking responsibility for the change

52:21

that we've made. Okay. And for

52:23

the mistake in the book. And I've told you

52:25

that. And I'm, no, it's not.

52:27

What I've said is that I have decided. You're not

52:29

taking responsibility for the... I've decided

52:31

this and I'm

52:34

saying that this book is very, very

52:36

good. And I've met with many world

52:38

leaders and that either world leaders I've

52:40

met with that are in this book, there are

52:42

many that I met with that are not in

52:44

this book. And this

52:46

is an anecdote that I asked

52:49

to have removed because I think

52:51

it's appropriate at this point in time. But I'm not going

52:53

to talk to you about those personal meetings that I've had

52:55

with world leaders. Okay. I'm

52:57

going to have that conversation because I think it's important. What?

53:01

Wait, what? I'm not going

53:04

to have that conversation because I think it's important. So

53:07

then when you want to have a conversation,

53:09

it's important. And again, if you don't

53:11

want to give talk about personal meetings, why is it

53:13

in your book? She

53:15

actually said the book is very... So

53:19

Governor, did you lie about what's in the book? Well, the

53:21

book is very, very good. It's a very, very good book.

53:24

First of all, the book is very, very good. So

53:27

translation, I didn't write my

53:29

book or read it until I did the audio book, but

53:32

I was tuning myself out for most of that. And if

53:34

I did notice any problems, I figured it was too late

53:36

to bring it up. And I just hope

53:38

that nobody else would notice, which

53:40

is a safe bet because as everybody knows, Republican

53:42

politicians, especially ones that are associated with or

53:44

hope to be associated with Donald Trump, rarely

53:47

encounter any scrutiny at all. So of course, like

53:49

why couldn't you get away with just

53:52

flagrantly making up events

53:55

in your book? And that's finally

53:57

to the infamous story of pork crickets. And

54:00

here's how that exchange went, watch. I

54:03

wanna ask you again about the book. I

54:06

know you know this question is coming because

54:09

there's been such an enormous backlash

54:11

about your revelation that you shot

54:13

and killed a wire hair pointer named

54:15

Cricket who was 14 months old. You

54:18

say in the book she came from

54:20

another family that struggled with her aggression.

54:22

You've been training her to hunt. She

54:24

got too excited, ruined the hunt and

54:26

then attacked and killed some

54:28

chickens. I wonder if you

54:30

have regrets about sharing this story. Margaret,

54:36

this book is filled with vulnerable,

54:38

painful moments in my life. Filled

54:40

with times where I've made very

54:42

difficult decisions. The reason that this story is

54:45

in the book because people need to understand who I

54:47

am and some of those

54:49

difficult decisions. This was a dangerous animal

54:51

that was killing livestock and attacking people.

54:54

And I had little children at the time.

54:57

Our operation had many kids running around and

55:00

people in interaction with the public. And I made a

55:02

difficult choice. I think you're a mother too and you

55:04

have little kiddos. Would you make

55:06

a choice between your children or a dangerous animal? And

55:08

I think I would ask everybody in the country to

55:10

put themselves in that situation because that's

55:12

what I faced. And I talk about it because

55:14

what I'm tired of in this country is

55:17

politicians who pretend to be something that they're not.

55:20

That they aren't willing to have the hard

55:22

conversations and look at the past and the

55:24

tough decisions that they've made. What

55:26

I talk about in the book extensively when people are

55:28

able to get it on Tuesday is to see the

55:31

whole story and the truth, not the spin that the

55:33

media has put on this story. The

55:35

media has put some or removed most of

55:37

the facts. And what the

55:39

reason this is in there is because I want

55:41

people to know that I don't ask anybody else

55:43

to take on my responsibilities. I

55:46

don't ask anybody else to take on my responsibilities. When there's a

55:48

dog to kill, I do it myself. And

55:51

I like it. Damn it, I like

55:53

it. I actually would have respected her

55:55

more if she had just said that. If

55:57

she had just said, look, I wanted to kill a dog, so

55:59

I killed it. I kill animals all the time. What

56:01

are you gonna do about it? Like I would

56:03

have, I, I'll be alone in

56:05

this, but I personally would have respected that a little bit

56:07

more, it'd still be pretty weird, but. Although

56:10

now, given the made up Kim Jong

56:12

Un story, I'm seriously starting to wonder

56:14

whether Cricket even existed. It's

56:17

possible that she never killed any dog and her

56:19

ghost writer made that up too. And

56:22

maybe Noam didn't want to admit that it was made up so

56:24

she just went with it. That's

56:26

at least a possibility we have to consider at this

56:28

point. And that's not the only animal

56:30

execution recounted in her memoir. Soon

56:33

the conversation turned to the goat that

56:35

also crossed Kristi Noam and

56:37

didn't live to tell about it. Listen to the details

56:40

on this one. In

56:42

a part of a chapter called Bad Day to

56:44

Be a Goat, and then

56:46

after you shot the dog, you quote,

56:48

"'Realized another unpleasant job needed to be

56:51

done. "'Walking back up to the yard, I

56:53

spotted our billy goat. "'You said he

56:55

smelled and would chase kids, "'so you took him

56:57

to the gravel pit and shot him twice.'

57:01

How do you justify that? How was the

57:04

goat a threat? And I'm asking you this

57:06

because it seems like you're celebrating the killing

57:08

of the animals. Not

57:12

at all. This has been a story that my political

57:14

opponents have tried to use against me for years. It's

57:16

well known in South Dakota and it

57:18

has been to other people. And I

57:20

want the truth to be out there

57:22

and to understand that these animals were

57:25

attacking my children, that

57:27

we live on a farm and a ranch, and

57:29

that tough decisions are made many times, and

57:31

it is to protect people. And

57:33

I'll tell you the extremism of other

57:36

people and how they have attacked

57:38

me politically, I understand that they're doing the same thing

57:40

to me that they do to Donald

57:42

Trump every day." First

57:46

of all, don't bring Donald Trump into this. He's

57:48

got enough issues. You

57:50

don't need to rope him in. But

57:53

I'm sorry, let's just back up for a moment. So

57:57

she killed the goat on

57:59

the... same day that she

58:02

killed the dog. I don't

58:04

think we knew that, or at least I didn't. She

58:07

was hyped up on adrenaline, filled with

58:09

bloodlust, looking for something else to kill,

58:11

and she happened to see that punk-ass

58:14

goat hanging out by the barn and

58:17

just decided then to

58:19

take him to the same gravel pit that, at this

58:21

point, I guess was covered in blood, and

58:24

just busted two caps in his ass. And

58:27

this is a story that a politician has decided to

58:29

tell in her memoir, and

58:31

she recounts it in a chapter titled Bad

58:34

Day to Be a Goat. And

58:38

also, by the way, the fact that

58:40

this, according to her, this

58:43

has been a political, this is like a well-known

58:45

political controversy in South Dakota going back years. Like

58:48

they've been debating the smelly goat

58:51

that Kristi None killed for years

58:53

now. I

58:55

don't know if that's true or not. I don't know if people in South

58:57

Dakota, when they heard this story, like, oh yeah, there's

58:59

the story about the goat again. I'm not

59:02

sure if it's that well-known, but that's

59:05

pretty great if it is. I'm

59:07

starting to get the impression that this whole book

59:09

is just her bragging about killing various animals, interspersed

59:12

with imaginary fictionalized retellings of meetings

59:14

with world leaders that never actually

59:16

happened. So the whole book

59:19

is like a murderous, blood-soaked fever dream.

59:22

I actually might, I'm intrigued. I wanna

59:24

buy a copy of the book now.

59:26

Honest to God, it sounds

59:29

entertaining at the very least. And we haven't even

59:31

made it to the best part yet. Listen

59:34

to this. But

59:36

on this point though, because

59:38

you have been rumored to be a potential

59:40

vice presidential candidate, as you know, and

59:43

former House Speaker Newt Gingrich said, "'Killing the

59:45

dog and then writing about it ended

59:47

any possibility of her being picked as

59:49

VP.' You talk multiple times about

59:51

it. In fact, at the end of the book, you

59:53

say the very first thing you would do if

59:55

you got to the White House that was different from

59:58

Joe Biden, is you'd make sure Joe Biden's dog... was

1:00:00

nowhere on the grounds. Commanders say hello

1:00:02

to cricket. Are

1:00:04

you doing this to try to look tough?

1:00:07

Do you still think that you have a shot at

1:00:09

being a VP? Well,

1:00:14

number one, Joe Biden's dog has attacked

1:00:16

24 secret service people. So

1:00:18

how many people is enough people to

1:00:20

be attacked and dangerously hurt

1:00:22

before you make a decision on a

1:00:24

dog? And what he's not living at the left.

1:00:27

That's the question that the president should be held

1:00:29

accountable to. Commander

1:00:31

say hello to cricket. This

1:00:34

is apparently not a joke. She really ends

1:00:36

the book by threatening to kill Joe Biden's

1:00:38

dog. I'm

1:00:41

officially sold. I'll be pre-ordering my copy as

1:00:43

soon as the show is over. And

1:00:47

and also, I like, by the way, this

1:00:49

interview was just nothing but the interviewer bringing

1:00:51

up one animal after another and asking for

1:00:53

her to justify why she killed it and

1:00:55

or what bringing up one after animal after another

1:00:57

to justify why she killed it or will kill

1:00:59

it in the future. And she

1:01:02

engages each time. Yeah, she's

1:01:04

like, well, that goes smell like garbage

1:01:06

and it was annoying my kids. What do you want me to

1:01:08

do? Now, granted,

1:01:11

when I say that I want to read this book, it's

1:01:13

because the book, you know, it

1:01:16

would seem is a completely insane

1:01:18

train wreck. And

1:01:21

that might help her sell copies, but

1:01:23

it represents an act of political suicide.

1:01:25

I mean, this is something so close to

1:01:27

actual self-immolation that watching that

1:01:29

interview, I almost expected her to shout

1:01:32

free Palestine. She has

1:01:34

destroyed herself completely

1:01:37

in the most

1:01:40

unnecessary, egregious and

1:01:43

hilarious way that we've ever seen. And

1:01:45

she's done all that in an effort to promote herself. Many

1:01:48

such cases, especially in politics. But

1:01:50

that is why Kristi Noem is not

1:01:53

by me, but by her own choosing. Today

1:01:57

canceled. I'll do it for the show

1:01:59

today. Thanks for watching. Have a great day. The
