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
