The Matt Walsh Show — Ep. 1686

Title: New Yorkers Hand Their City Over To A Third World Islamic Communist
Date: November 5, 2025
Host: Matt Walsh (The Daily Wire)

Episode Overview

In this episode, Matt Walsh reacts to what he describes as a transformative and alarming set of election results, primarily focusing on Democratic victories in New York City and Virginia. Walsh claims these results indicate a fundamental shift in American political and cultural life, attributing Democratic success to the mobilization of specific demographic groups and failures within the conservative movement. Throughout the episode, Walsh laments what he calls the "handing over" of New York City to the left, rails against infighting on the right, and prescribes aggressive political change as the remedy.

Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. Election Aftermath: “A Clarifying Day”

Timestamps: 02:39–04:00
Walsh calls the election "the single most clarifying day in American politics since the election of Donald Trump in 2016," explaining that while it might not be the most consequential, it clearly illuminated battle lines and priorities.
- Quote:
  
  “Yesterday was the single most clarifying day in American politics since the election of Donald Trump in 2016.” (02:39 - Matt Walsh)

2. Conservative Disunity vs. Democratic Unification

Timestamps: 03:00–04:10; 24:05–27:00
Walsh criticizes conservatives for infighting, purity tests, and failing to unite against a common adversary.
- He juxtaposes this with what he portrays as unwavering, ruthless unity on the left, exemplified by Democrats ignoring controversies about their own candidates to win elections.
- Quote:
  
  “While conservatives have been arguing with one another and administering purity tests to determine who's a legitimate part of the movement... a unified Democrat party just elected an Attorney General who openly fantasizes about murdering us...” (04:00 - Matt Walsh)

3. Immigration, Demographics, and Political Change

Timestamps: 05:05–15:32
Walsh presents New York as emblematic of demographic change, highlighting statistics about foreign-born residents and language use, arguing this shift underpins political realignment.
- He repeatedly suggests new immigrants are invested in self-interest rather than American values, portraying this as a corrosive force.
- Emphasizes the rise of “liberal women and foreigners” as the dominant Democratic coalition, claiming they vote primarily based on emotion or ethnic self-interest.
- Notable Quote:
  
  “New York, as I’ve said before, is not an American city anymore.” (12:36 - Matt Walsh)
  “Together with liberal women, foreigners now constitute the bulk of the Democrat Party’s voting base. And this is a voting bloc that’s extraordinarily potent and destructive.” (10:42 - Matt Walsh)

4. Critique of Zoran Mamdani’s Election and Platform

Timestamps: 15:49–20:34
Walsh reacts to the victory speech of Zoran Mamdani, whom he derides as a “third world communist,” critiquing the vision of government omnipotence and the lack of American identity in populist rhetoric.
- Plays Mamdani’s speech and accuses him of ignoring Americans in favor of foreign interest groups.
- Memorable Exchange:
  
  “We will prove that there is no problem too large for the government to solve and no concern too small for it to care about.” (15:58 - Zoran Mamdani)
  “It is hard to think of a less American idea than that...” (16:22 - Matt Walsh)
  “Notice he doesn’t mention Americans. That’s the one group that doesn’t even... doesn’t even make the list because he doesn’t care about them.” (20:21 - Matt Walsh)

5. "Mass Deportations" and Policy Prescriptions

Timestamps: 29:26–31:10
Walsh advocates for mass deportations, suspending migration from the third world, elimination of federal assistance to states/cities under Democratic control, and removing foreign nationals from public benefits as a solution for conservatives to regain influence.
- Urges a hard-line, exclusionary response framed as necessary for political survival.
- Quote:
  
  “We should accelerate mass deportations. We should suspend all migration from the third world along with all federal assistance to New York and Virginia.” (29:27 - Matt Walsh)

6. Lessons from “Trans Agenda” Defeat

Timestamps: 45:25–58:00
Shifting focus, Walsh uses the cultural “win” over the trans rights movement as a case study for conservatives.
- Attributes conservative success (as he sees it) to aggressive, focused, unapologetic confrontation, mocking opponents, and fighting over cultural issues despite establishment advice to avoid them.
- Criticizes “tone policing” and credits a hardline public stance as inspiring others and providing rhetorical cover.
- Memorable moment: Cites the boycott of Bud Light as proof of successful aggressive strategy.
- Quote:
  
  “We hung [Dylan Mulvaney] around the necks of our opponents... We made [Bud Light] pay the price. All the other major corporations would see.” (53:32; 54:08 - Matt Walsh)

7. Celebrity Political Influence Is Dead

Timestamps: 60:10–70:04
In his “Daily Cancellation,” Walsh shifts to pop culture, arguing that the “monoculture” is dead, and therefore celebrity endorsements (such as those from Jennifer Lawrence) lack political influence.
- Plays clips of Jennifer Lawrence in 2016 warning about Trump, then discusses her recent admissions that celebrities “do not make a difference whatsoever on who people vote for.”
- Walsh regards this as a net positive outcome of cultural fragmentation.
- Quote:
  
  “So while I used to think that [the death of the monoculture] was an unequivocally negative development, thanks to Jennifer Lawrence, I can see at least one faint glimmer of an upside. And that is why the era of celebrity influence over our politics is today, thankfully and belatedly canceled.” (69:58–70:04 - Matt Walsh)

Tone and Language

The tone throughout is combative, urgent, and darkly comedic—in line with Walsh’s established persona. He employs vivid metaphors (“foreigners drain a place and move on”), mockery, and sometimes caustic or inflammatory language when referring to political opponents, while using militaristic or sports metaphors about conservative strategy. Arguments are fast-paced and laden with culture war references, identity discourse, and populist rhetorical devices.

Conclusion: Main Takeaways

Walsh sees the Democratic wins as a dire sign for American conservatism, blaming demographic shifts and a lack of conservative unity.
Argues for a hardline, exclusionary response—mass deportations, immigration quarantines, and pulling federal aid—to protect “American” cities and values.
Warns against intra-conservative bickering; claims victory can only come from unity and unapologetic, tactical cultural engagement.
Cites perceived conservative “wins” over the trans rights movement as evidence that aggressive cultural combativeness is effective.
On a cultural note, finds hope in the decline of celebrity political influence—against the backdrop of Jennifer Lawrence’s recanting of her political activism.

This summary captures the key narrative arcs, rhetorical style, and notable moments from Matt Walsh’s post-election episode, providing both detailed context and direct quotes for understanding his perspective and argumentation, in a clear chronological structure for reference.

Matt Walsh
Yesterday was the single most clarifying day.
[02:43]
Matt Walsh's Co-host or Producer
In American politics since the election of Donald Trump in 2016. Now, when I say clarifying, I don't mean that it was the most consequential day or most important day in American politics.
[02:53]
Matt Walsh
There have been plenty of days that.
[02:54]
Matt Walsh's Co-host or Producer
Were far more important in terms of their raw impact on millions of people.
[02:58]
Matt Walsh
Over the last decade or so, but no day has been anywhere near as.
[03:03]
Matt Walsh's Co-host or Producer
Illuminating as this one in recent years.
[03:06]
Matt Walsh
No one day has done a better job of showing us where the battle.
[03:09]
Matt Walsh's Co-host or Producer
Lines are, what's important and what's not.
[03:12]
Matt Walsh
At a time when pretty much every.
[03:14]
Matt Walsh's Co-host or Producer
Prominent commentator and politician on the right.
[03:16]
Matt Walsh
Is picking a wildly different target.
[03:19]
Matt Walsh's Co-host or Producer
Less than two months ago, one of the leading Republicans in the Senate, a man I respect, was going after the President of the United States for not reading To Kill a Mockingbird. Hasn't the President heard of the fictional character Atticus Finch? Asked Senator Rand Paul as the Pentagon sent drug traffickers to the bottom of the ocean? Meanwhile, some conservatives, including some well known ones, have been obsessively attacking me, in some cases calling for my termination, because I've called for unity on the right in the face of our common enemies on the left.
[03:46]
Matt Walsh
And of course, over the last few weeks, most prominently, we've watched the right.
[03:52]
Matt Walsh's Co-host or Producer
Wing commentariat rip each other to shreds over offensive group chats and podcast guests, and so on.
[04:00]
Matt Walsh
Well, congratulations.
[04:03]
Matt Walsh's Co-host or Producer
While conservatives have been arguing with one another and administering purity tests to determine who's a legitimate part of the movement.
[04:10]
Matt Walsh
And who's not, a unified Democrat party just elected an Attorney General who openly fantasizes about murdering us, watching our children.
[04:19]
Matt Walsh's Co-host or Producer
Die in our arms.
[04:21]
Matt Walsh
Less than two months after Charlie Kirk was shot to death in front of the entire world, Democrat voters backed a candidate who wants more conservatives to die because of their political views. They also elected as governor a demented CIA operative who grins when she's asked.
[04:37]
Matt Walsh's Co-host or Producer
About her support for this Attorney General live on the debate stage.
[04:41]
Matt Walsh
Additionally, Democrats flip something like 10 seats.
[04:43]
Matt Walsh's Co-host or Producer
In the Virginia House, ensuring that these.
[04:45]
Matt Walsh
Two sociopaths at the top of the ticket can do whatever they want once they take office. And we know what Jay Jones wants to do. He's told us. In fact, every single county in the.
[04:57]
Matt Walsh's Co-host or Producer
State of Virginia, even the ones that ultimately went Republican, shifted heavily towards Democrats last night. You can see those results on screen right now. This was a total blowout in the.
[05:06]
Matt Walsh
State of Virginia, which is home to.
[05:08]
Matt Walsh's Co-host or Producer
More than a million immigrants concentrated in.
[05:10]
Matt Walsh
The north and hundreds of thousands of.
[05:11]
Matt Walsh's Co-host or Producer
Government employees who are concentrated in the South.
[05:15]
Matt Walsh
Those are people who are furious that.
[05:17]
Matt Walsh's Co-host or Producer
Their government salaries, which are really a form of welfare in most cases, aren't being paid out due to the government shutdown.
[05:24]
Matt Walsh
And now they're making it clear that if conservatives don't want to pay them, then conservatives deserve to die, basically.
[05:31]
Matt Walsh's Co-host or Producer
Meanwhile, as Republicans feuded relentlessly with one.
[05:34]
Matt Walsh
Another, Democrats also elected a Muslim socialist.
[05:37]
Matt Walsh's Co-host or Producer
From Uganda for the explicit purpose of destroying the nerve center of American capitalism.
[05:42]
Matt Walsh
You'll get your government run grocery stores.
[05:45]
Matt Walsh's Co-host or Producer
And your free buses open to every vagrant and schizophrenic in the city, says Zoran Mamdani.
[05:51]
Matt Walsh
But of course, you also have to pay for all of these free perks.
[05:55]
Matt Walsh's Co-host or Producer
In the form of higher taxes.
[05:56]
Matt Walsh
And you won't find Mamdani riding on.
[05:58]
Matt Walsh's Co-host or Producer
One of those buses or standing in any of the bread lines without armed guards.
[06:03]
Matt Walsh
Because despite what his platform might suggest, he's not anywhere near as stupid as he looks. So what happens when New York runs out of people to tax?
[06:13]
Matt Walsh's Co-host or Producer
What happens when they all flee to Florida?
[06:15]
Matt Walsh
What happens when free buses means that.
[06:18]
Matt Walsh's Co-host or Producer
No one can ride the bus anymore because it's not safe?
[06:22]
Matt Walsh
Mom, Donnie and everyone else in the Democrat Party, they know the answer to these questions.
[06:28]
Matt Walsh's Co-host or Producer
The answer is that New York will transform into Uganda.
[06:33]
Matt Walsh
Now, ask any conservative, and they'll describe.
[06:36]
Matt Walsh's Co-host or Producer
That outcome as a failure.
[06:38]
Matt Walsh
But Democrats don't see it that way, and neither do their voters. And here's why. Imagine for a moment that you live in Kenya, and like most Kenyans, you make about $1,000 per year. Yes, $1,000 per year. And then imagine that like most Kenyans, you don't even have access to clean.
[06:57]
Matt Walsh's Co-host or Producer
Drinking water, much less reliable social services.
[07:00]
Matt Walsh
And that's what you're used to. And then imagine that one member of.
[07:03]
Matt Walsh's Co-host or Producer
Your family manages to get to America. They fake an asylum claim and move into an apartment in New York where they don't pay any rent, thanks to some pro bono legal services offered by a nonprofit or a law firm.
[07:14]
Matt Walsh
What do you think their top priority.
[07:16]
Matt Walsh's Co-host or Producer
Is going to be?
[07:18]
Matt Walsh
Now, obviously, they're going to look after their family back home, and their home is Kenya. They're going to collect welfare from the US taxpayer, mail it to their relatives overseas, and they're going to support whatever.
[07:32]
Matt Walsh's Co-host or Producer
Candidate will allow more of their family members to come to New York and partake in the city's vast array of.
[07:38]
Matt Walsh
Free services, which are not really free because they're paid for by Americans who actually have jobs. Now, they don't care, not even for a second, that New York City will.
[07:49]
Matt Walsh's Co-host or Producer
Ultimately collapse as a result of this.
[07:50]
Matt Walsh
In their eyes, the worst case scenario.
[07:52]
Matt Walsh's Co-host or Producer
Is that New York will eventually resemble.
[07:54]
Matt Walsh
A country like Kenya, a place they've already. They're familiar with. They're from there. That's their baseline, and they're not afraid of it. And besides, they have no tie to.
[08:04]
Matt Walsh's Co-host or Producer
New York or to the country.
[08:06]
Matt Walsh
They don't care about it. They don't love New York. They don't love America. They just got here. So if that city falls apart, they could just move somewhere else. And when that new place is drained of all its. All of its resources and it collapses, well, they could just move on again.
[08:24]
Matt Walsh's Co-host or Producer
And so on and so on and so on.
[08:27]
Matt Walsh
Ask the people voting for these candidates.
[08:29]
Matt Walsh's Co-host or Producer
In any state that held elections last.
[08:31]
Matt Walsh
Night and they will admit all of this.
[08:33]
Matt Walsh's Co-host or Producer
I'm not speculating.
[08:35]
Matt Walsh
They'll tell you this. Just ask them. So consider this interview that aired on CNN yesterday featuring a woman from Kenya named Mariam Jaradi. Now, this woman doesn't say that she.
[08:48]
Matt Walsh's Co-host or Producer
Supports Abigail Spanberger in Virginia because she likes her position on corporate tax rates or something.
[08:55]
Matt Walsh
Instead, she supports Abigail Spanberger because she, Abigail Spanberger is going to allow more foreigners from Kenya to enter the country. That's it. Watch.
[09:07]
Mariam Jaradi
I always vote since I became a citizen, and that was 20 years ago, and I migrated from Kenya originally. My family is back home in Kenya. And how I see how things are going on, like with families being separated as a human being, as a mother, separating families, especially children, from their mothers or fathers, I don't believe in that. So that made me come out and also come and vote.
[09:43]
Matt Walsh
So this woman has apparently lived in.
[09:44]
Matt Walsh's Co-host or Producer
America for nearly two decades. She's still fixated on immigration as her top issue.
[09:50]
Matt Walsh
She still refers to Kenya as her home. She's voting based on the interests, the best interests of Kenyans. That's all there is to it. I mean, it really is as simple as that. Do you think she cares in any.
[10:07]
Matt Walsh's Co-host or Producer
Way about the fact that Abigail Spanberger embraced Jay Jones after he joked about murdering the children of conservative politicians? A joke that, you know, was actually not really a joke?
[10:18]
Matt Walsh
You think she cares about that at all? You think she spent even one second thinking about that? Do you think she'd flinch if Spanberger herself had literally murdered the child of a conservative politician?
[10:28]
Matt Walsh's Co-host or Producer
Of course not.
[10:29]
Matt Walsh
I mean, the object of this woman.
[10:31]
Matt Walsh's Co-host or Producer
And anyone like her is to advance.
[10:33]
Matt Walsh
Their own national and ethnic interests. They don't pause to consider your interests. They don't care about you.
[10:42]
Matt Walsh's Co-host or Producer
They don't care about your country.
[10:43]
Matt Walsh
They live here, but they don't care about it. Together with liberal women, foreigners now constitute the bulk of the Democrat Party's voting base. And this is a voting bloc that's extraordinarily potent and destructive.
[10:55]
Matt Walsh's Co-host or Producer
It's immune to any kind of negotiation.
[11:00]
Matt Walsh
The foreigners are voting based on their.
[11:02]
Matt Walsh's Co-host or Producer
Own, again, their own national and ethnic interests.
[11:07]
Matt Walsh
And the liberal women are voting based.
[11:09]
Matt Walsh's Co-host or Producer
On largely appeals to emotion and vibes.
[11:13]
Matt Walsh
They're basically getting their entire political philosophy.
[11:16]
Matt Walsh's Co-host or Producer
From those yard signs that say no person is illegal.
[11:21]
Matt Walsh
And one of those voters just spoke to Fox.
[11:23]
Fox News Interviewee
Listen, I think what's really important and standing out for me right now is if we can take ourselves like a high level, like not say immigration, not say economy, not say all the hot talking points and just ask ourselves, how are we treating our neighbors? Like, how are we treating one another? And is it okay that Yesterday, on Saturday, 42 million of our neighbors no longer can feed themselves? Is it okay that our neighbors are getting taken off the streets by ice? Is it okay that gender affirming care is being taken from young people who really need it to survive? Is it okay that the Supreme Court has now justified racial profiling? That's not how I want to treat my neighbor now.
[12:02]
Matt Walsh
New York has been in a state.
[12:03]
Matt Walsh's Co-host or Producer
Of decline for many, many years. John Rocker's infamous interview with Sports Illustrated where he railed against all the foreigners making the city impossible to live in was more than 25 years ago.
[12:12]
Matt Walsh
But until recently, liberal women didn't have.
[12:15]
Matt Walsh's Co-host or Producer
Enough votes to sway elections based on vapid DNC issued talking points and bumper sticker slogans.
[12:21]
Matt Walsh
But what's changed is that in 2025, yet another reliably Democrat demographic has moved into New York. As of the most recent estimates from.
[12:32]
Matt Walsh's Co-host or Producer
The mayor's office, one in five New Yorkers can't even speak the English language.
[12:37]
Matt Walsh
More than 60% of children in New York live in a household with at least one foreign born family member. Roughly 40% of New Yorkers were not born in this country. Half of all New Yorkers speak a language other than English at home. And these are all conservative estimates, by the way. New York, as I've said before, is not an American city anymore. Nearly 50% of the population of Queens was not born in this country. Watch.
[13:05]
Sean Duffy
I think Queens is so interesting. Sean, look at this. Just for our viewers at home, like no matter where you're watching in America tonight, just stop and think about this for a moment. This is one of five boroughs, okay? In Queens, it's not even the most populated in this particular borough. Maybe you fly in the JFK, maybe you fly in the LaGuardia. Population 2.4 million foreign born. 48% languages spoken in Queens alone. 160 different languages. When you study New York City, you're studying a country, Sean. You can literally cross the street and you find people with different ethnicity, different religion, they come from different parts of the world, and they certainly vote in very different ways. And you do not have to go far in that neighborhood or on that street to find that. I just say very interesting to study.
[13:58]
Matt Walsh's Co-host or Producer
Now, these numbers represent a drastic shift.
[14:01]
Matt Walsh
In more ways than one. And don't listen to anyone who tries.
[14:05]
Matt Walsh's Co-host or Producer
To tell you, oh, it's always been this way.
[14:07]
Matt Walsh
New York is.
[14:08]
Matt Walsh's Co-host or Producer
New York has always had a significant immigrant population.
[14:11]
Matt Walsh
It's been this way for many generations. Well, yes, but not all immigration is.
[14:18]
Matt Walsh's Co-host or Producer
The same, you know, these immigrants are.
[14:21]
Matt Walsh
Now coming from very different parts of the world compared to where they were coming from 100 years ago. This chart prepared by Vdare demonstrates this.
[14:33]
Matt Walsh's Co-host or Producer
As you can see here, and According to the U.S. census, New York was 98% white in 1910. 98%.
[14:41]
Matt Walsh
90% in 1950. 77% white in 1970.
[14:47]
Matt Walsh's Co-host or Producer
Then it dropped to 52% in 1980. 44% by 1990.
[14:52]
Matt Walsh
By 2020, it was down to 32%.
[14:56]
Matt Walsh's Co-host or Producer
So from almost everybody is white to a small minority. 32% in the span of about 100 years.
[15:09]
Matt Walsh
Now, that is a demographic transformation that's inevitably going to result in massive cultural changes.
[15:18]
Matt Walsh's Co-host or Producer
And those changes have not been positive. That's just a fact.
[15:24]
Matt Walsh
So anyone who says, oh, you're doing identity politics, even people, even conservatives, well, this is identity politics. We need to be past this.
[15:32]
Matt Walsh's Co-host or Producer
Oh, shut up.
[15:35]
Matt Walsh
This is just the reality.
[15:36]
Matt Walsh's Co-host or Producer
It's a thing that's happening.
[15:39]
Matt Walsh
Okay, we got to talk about the.
[15:42]
Matt Walsh's Co-host or Producer
Things that are happening in the country. Zoram Hamdani is talking about it.
[15:49]
Matt Walsh
During his victory speech last night, Zoram Hamdani made made all this very explicit.
[15:57]
Matt Walsh's Co-host or Producer
Watch.
[15:59]
Zoran Mamdani
We will prove that there is no problem too large for government to solve and no concern too small for it to care about.
[16:10]
Matt Walsh
We will prove that there is no problem too large for the government to.
[16:13]
Matt Walsh's Co-host or Producer
Solve and no concern too small for it to care about.
[16:17]
Matt Walsh
Well, it's hard to think of a.
[16:18]
Matt Walsh's Co-host or Producer
More un American and delusional statement than that. Right?
[16:23]
Matt Walsh
You want to talk about cultural shifts? It is hard to think of a less American idea than that. There is no problem too small or too large for the Government to solve. Imagine hearing a line like that and applauding without any hint of irony. Imagine taking a look at the employees of your local DMV and thinking to yourself, you know what? This is great. I'd love to put these people in charge of every single aspect of my life, no matter how insignificant it may be. I'd love to have slack jawed government bureaucrats resolve every dispute I'll ever have with anyone. I'd love to have government bureaucrats tell me when I'm allowed to go to the grocery store. I'd love to have them run the grocery store and tell me when I'm allowed to go and what I can buy there. Please, DMV lady, fix all my problems. I see you sitting there and I think to myself, you are the person who could solve all my problems. Please fix them. I put all of my trust in you. Has there ever been a serious person.
[17:32]
Matt Walsh's Co-host or Producer
In the history of this country who.
[17:34]
Matt Walsh
Has genuinely believed that the government could solve literally every problem, both big and.
[17:40]
Matt Walsh's Co-host or Producer
Small, as Mamdani just promised explicitly? Well, the answer is no, of course. But Mamdani was not elected by serious people. At least he was not elected by Americans.
[17:53]
Matt Walsh
No American has ever felt that way. You know, in that speech, Mamdani is.
[17:59]
Matt Walsh's Co-host or Producer
Invoking basically the inverse of Ronald Reagan's famous line, which is that, you know, the nine most terrifying words in the English language are, I'm from the government.
[18:06]
Matt Walsh
I'm here to help. That's a very well trod line.
[18:12]
Matt Walsh's Co-host or Producer
It's a funny line.
[18:13]
Matt Walsh
At the time it was a funny line because everybody immediately understood what Reagan was getting at. Well, now we have a third world communist unironically playing the role of the guy from the government, uttering the nine most terrifying words. Except he's now playing to a crowd that finds those words comforting rather than terrifying. Well, there's a reason for that. Again, think about who his voters are. Liberal women and foreigners. That's basically it. I mean, that's pretty much the whole thing. Well, liberal women desperately desire to be taken care of. They, they want the government to come.
[18:54]
Matt Walsh's Co-host or Producer
In and provide for them and hug.
[18:56]
Matt Walsh
Them closely and whisper reassuring words.
[18:59]
Matt Walsh's Co-host or Producer
These women have rejected the natural female impulse ingrained over millennia to go out and find a man who can do those things for them.
[19:06]
Matt Walsh
But the impulse remains, and now they look to satisfy it with the government. They are, you know, strong, independent women.
[19:13]
Matt Walsh's Co-host or Producer
Who don't need no man.
[19:14]
Matt Walsh
Instead, they need a vast, faceless, incompetent bureaucracy to solve all their problems instead. And as for the foreigners well, many of them are from the third world where the government does control everything, or tries to, and where no alternative is really imaginable. Right. Where things like civil liberties, like nobody talks about that. It's just doesn't come up. Reagan's joke isn't a joke anymore.
[19:41]
Matt Walsh's Co-host or Producer
People from many third world countries who are now living in the US really believe it. And during his speech, Mamdani made sure to mention many of those third world countries by name.
[19:53]
Matt Walsh
Watch.
[19:55]
Zoran Mamdani
I speak of Yemeni bodega owners and Mexican abuelas, Senegalese taxi drivers and Uzbek nurses, Trinidadian line cooks and Ethiopian aunties. Yes, aunties.
[20:20]
Matt Walsh
Well, you know, he goes through the.
[20:22]
Matt Walsh's Co-host or Producer
Whole list and you notice he doesn't mention Americans. That's the one group that doesn't even.
[20:29]
Matt Walsh
Doesn'T even make the list because he doesn't care about them.
[20:34]
Matt Walsh's Co-host or Producer
New York is not an American city anymore and he's not playing to that crowd at all. Even the liberal white women didn't get a mention there.
[20:44]
Matt Walsh
But I'm sure it's just an oversight.
[20:46]
Matt Walsh's Co-host or Producer
I'm sure it's not an indication that Democrats are embracing ethnic nationalism for every racial group except white people because they openly despise white people.
[20:55]
Matt Walsh
That would just be ridiculous.
[20:58]
Matt Walsh's Co-host or Producer
And even if they are, we don't want to talk about it or point it out because then we're playing identity.
[21:04]
Matt Walsh
Politics and you wouldn't want to do that.
[21:10]
Matt Walsh's Co-host or Producer
So, you know, that means that you just have to. When the left does this blatant anti.
[21:14]
Matt Walsh
White routine, the polite thing is just.
[21:17]
Matt Walsh's Co-host or Producer
To not say anything about it.
[21:21]
Matt Walsh
And if you do, you're just as bad as they are. This is what I'm told anyway. But you know, as dire as the.
[21:27]
Matt Walsh's Co-host or Producer
Races in New York and Virginia were.
[21:28]
Matt Walsh
It needs to be said that the.
[21:30]
Matt Walsh's Co-host or Producer
Problem for the GOP is much bigger than these two states. Republican incumbents lost in both races. In Georgia for public Service Commissioner for the first time in more than two.
[21:37]
Matt Walsh
Decades, the Supreme Court races in Pennsylvania.
[21:41]
Matt Walsh's Co-host or Producer
Were not encouraging for Democrats, either with Democrats or for Republicans, rather with Democrats overwhelmingly retaining all of their seats there.
[21:48]
Matt Walsh
Put simply, last night was a rout.
[21:50]
Matt Walsh's Co-host or Producer
For the conservative movement and for Americans more broadly.
[21:54]
Matt Walsh
Know the way to say it.
[21:56]
Matt Walsh's Co-host or Producer
You know, we're no longer talking about hypotheticals anymore.
[21:58]
Matt Walsh
We're not discussing polls.
[21:59]
Matt Walsh's Co-host or Producer
The enemies of this country have just.
[22:01]
Matt Walsh
Seized a great deal of power. Now, it doesn't mean we're doomed, right? It doesn't mean all is lost.
[22:10]
Matt Walsh's Co-host or Producer
I know there are plenty of people.
[22:12]
Matt Walsh
Say, well, don't listen to the doomsayers.
[22:13]
Matt Walsh's Co-host or Producer
It's not such a big deal.
[22:17]
Matt Walsh
Yeah, it's not doom, but it is a serious situation. I don't know what to tell you. And don't listen to anyone claiming otherwise. An Islamic third world communist taking over our largest and most important city, that's a big deal? It is. As much as you might not want it to be, it is. And many people will die as a result. Many people's lives will become much worse and people will die.
[22:43]
Matt Walsh's Co-host or Producer
Make no mistake about it.
[22:44]
Matt Walsh
Our economy will suffer in ways that.
[22:46]
Matt Walsh's Co-host or Producer
We can't even begin to comprehend. That's the other point for people who.
[22:53]
Matt Walsh
Say, well, it's New York. Let New York fall into. Let it collapse into rubble. That's New York's problem. Well, I can't really go along with that. I can't get myself to not care because that is our city, or it's supposed to be.
[23:09]
Matt Walsh's Co-host or Producer
It's not an American city anymore, but it should be.
[23:15]
Matt Walsh
And also, again, this is the nerve.
[23:16]
Matt Walsh's Co-host or Producer
Center of our economy.
[23:19]
Matt Walsh
You have to understand that if New.
[23:21]
Matt Walsh's Co-host or Producer
York collapses, that has an impact on everybody.
[23:25]
Matt Walsh
That's not the kind of thing where you can just say, oh Yeah, I live 100 miles away has no effect on me. I don't care if you live 2,000 miles away. This stuff matters. It affects all of our lives. And the rule of law will continue.
[23:39]
Matt Walsh's Co-host or Producer
To erode as even more violent criminals are unleashed on the public.
[23:42]
Matt Walsh
All of that will happen. I'm not fear mongering, I'm just giving you the facts. So what are we going to do about it? Well, I'll tell you what we need to do. And I'm sorry for being really simplistic.
[23:56]
Matt Walsh's Co-host or Producer
Here, but we need to win. Winning, it's not the only thing that matters, but it is the first thing that matters.
[24:06]
Matt Walsh
If you don't win, then all the other stuff that matters doesn't matter. You have to win. And right now a lot of people.
[24:14]
Matt Walsh's Co-host or Producer
Are kind of drawing lines on the right, putting some of us on that side, some of us on this side. These lines are drawn.
[24:24]
Matt Walsh
I get put on all different sides.
[24:25]
Matt Walsh's Co-host or Producer
Depending on who's talking, which is a lot of fun.
[24:30]
Matt Walsh
But here's the line that we really need. Okay, if I'm going to draw a.
[24:34]
Matt Walsh's Co-host or Producer
Line, here's where I'm drawing it.
[24:37]
Matt Walsh
Conservatives who have actually shown an ability.
[24:40]
Matt Walsh's Co-host or Producer
To win and move the needle culturally and politically on one side versus conservatives who have never contributed meaningfully to any victory at all.
[24:51]
Matt Walsh
Like, that's the line that I care about right now. And the folks in the latter group, the Losers. They're really loud.
[25:01]
Matt Walsh's Co-host or Producer
Especially loud now.
[25:03]
Matt Walsh
But it's always been unclear, like why.
[25:05]
Matt Walsh's Co-host or Producer
We should ever listen to anything they say.
[25:09]
Matt Walsh
Anytime any conservative with a platform goes.
[25:11]
Matt Walsh's Co-host or Producer
Out and says this is what we.
[25:13]
Matt Walsh
Should do, you should ask them. You should say, okay, well, show me your scoreboard. What have you won?
[25:22]
Matt Walsh's Co-host or Producer
Have you contributed at all to any win at all? Have you done, have you succeeded in advancing the conservative cause in any form at all, ever?
[25:31]
Matt Walsh
Show me that. And if you haven't, then it's like, well, I don't care what you say, you don't know what you're talking about. It's not, you know, this nothing personal, but it's the way it is. And after last night's elections, it's clear that we should just not listen to.
[25:52]
Matt Walsh's Co-host or Producer
Those people ever again and again. It's nothing personal. It's not a cheap shot or anything like that. I'm not disavowing them or canceling anyone. I don't want to expel anyone from the movement at all.
[26:06]
Matt Walsh
Now. They're still conservatives.
[26:07]
Matt Walsh's Co-host or Producer
I even like some of them, some.
[26:09]
Matt Walsh
Of our lovable losers who are constantly.
[26:12]
Matt Walsh's Co-host or Producer
Running their mouths but have never done anything.
[26:16]
Matt Walsh
I even like some of them. All I'm saying is that when it comes to figuring out how to win, which again is always the first and most urgent priority, they don't have much to offer. They don't know how to win. We've got a lot of people who are talking a lot and saying a.
[26:32]
Matt Walsh's Co-host or Producer
Lot, but they don't know how to win. They've never done it and never will. They don't have the stomach for it. They don't have the heart or the mind for it. They're too squeamish, they're too weak, they're.
[26:42]
Matt Walsh
Too desirous of approval from polite society. And so last night, a fractured right.
[26:48]
Matt Walsh's Co-host or Producer
Was demolished by a unified left, a coalition of leftists, primarily college educated women and foreigners, all of whom are happy to dance on the graves of dead conservatives. These are people who heard Jay Jones wishing death on us and our children and then flocked to the polls to make him the top law enforcement officer of the state.
[27:08]
Matt Walsh
You know, they didn't subject Jones to any purity test.
[27:10]
Matt Walsh's Co-host or Producer
They didn't denounce and disavow him out of principle.
[27:13]
Matt Walsh
They ignored the complaints from conservatives, they ignored complaints from people like me, right? And they just went out and won. They heard us demanding that they disavow Jones. And again, I put my one of them say, you, you should disavow him. What he said was terrible. And we were right. What he said was terrible. But the Democrats, they looked at us and said, what? Disavow what? And lose on purpose? Throw the race like he's our guy? You want us to just, what, give up?
[27:50]
Matt Walsh's Co-host or Producer
Not win?
[27:51]
Matt Walsh
You want us to just lose on purpose because we're. Because what he said was bad? No, they looked at us and they just laughed at us. They said, I'm not going to do that. No, we're going to win. They didn't even think about it. Let me tell you something. On the left, not only did they not disavow J. Jones, there was no conversation about it. It wasn't even a debate. Right. It wasn't even like what would happen with conservatives where you spend seven weeks just torturing ourselves over. Was not even a conversation. It's like, well, of course we're not going to. We have to win that race. I mean, we can't. We're not going to disavow him and let a Republican take the, take the, Take the ball. No, they just said we're going to.
[28:38]
Matt Walsh's Co-host or Producer
Go out and win.
[28:40]
Matt Walsh
That's it.
[28:42]
Matt Walsh's Co-host or Producer
Because you got to win. And that's what happened.
[28:46]
Matt Walsh
And they won. So I will repeat the call that.
[28:51]
Matt Walsh's Co-host or Producer
Made so many people angry at me. And you could be angry at me all you want. I don't really care. In my view, the right must unite against the people who want us dead.
[29:06]
Matt Walsh
We just have to. Our lives are at stake.
[29:09]
Matt Walsh's Co-host or Producer
Our children's futures are at stake. Our nation itself is at stake. They are destroying the country. We are losing the country. We are losing it right now.
[29:26]
Matt Walsh
And the more control they have, they will open up the floodgates even more and we will just lose it. We won't have a country anymore.
[29:36]
Matt Walsh's Co-host or Producer
So this is not the time for infighting and ankle biting. I'm not saying that there will never be a time necessarily. I'm saying that the time is not now. Even if you can make an argument.
[29:49]
Matt Walsh
That, well, we got to have this.
[29:50]
Matt Walsh's Co-host or Producer
Fight.
[29:52]
Matt Walsh
Well, the time was not these last few weeks in the run up to the election. Like, even if I could buy your.
[30:00]
Matt Walsh's Co-host or Producer
Argument, you know, this is a fight.
[30:02]
Matt Walsh
We have to have.
[30:02]
Matt Walsh's Co-host or Producer
We had to have it now.
[30:04]
Matt Walsh
We had to have it right when the election is happening. This was the time to do it. Really.
[30:12]
Matt Walsh's Co-host or Producer
No, you gotta be smart, you gotta be strategic. And if you can't see that now, then I don't know what else to say.
[30:22]
Matt Walsh
We have just been handed a wake up call, the biggest wake up call.
[30:25]
Matt Walsh's Co-host or Producer
In the recent history of the conservative.
[30:28]
Matt Walsh
Movement, we should pay attention. We should accelerate mass deportations.
[30:33]
Matt Walsh's Co-host or Producer
We should suspend all migration from the.
[30:35]
Matt Walsh
Third world along with all federal assistance.
[30:37]
Matt Walsh's Co-host or Producer
To New York and Virginia.
[30:39]
Matt Walsh
As I outlined earlier this week, we.
[30:40]
Matt Walsh's Co-host or Producer
Should kick every single foreign national off of federal financial assistance completely effective immediately.
[30:48]
Matt Walsh
Which would also have the effect of.
[30:51]
Matt Walsh's Co-host or Producer
Then you'd have mass self deportations happening. Because if they can't be here and live off of the taxpayer, then they're not going to want to be here anymore. That's what conservatives need to accomplish if.
[31:02]
Matt Walsh
We want to continue existing as a viable political movement. If we want to exist as a country. We don't have to agree with each other.
[31:11]
Matt Walsh's Co-host or Producer
We don't even have to like each other. But we do have to recognize that our greatest threat, the greatest threat to civilization itself just demolished our candidates last night. These people putting foreign communists in charge of our city. The people lining up to vote for candidates who openly want to murder you.
[31:32]
Matt Walsh
Who want to watch your children die.
[31:36]
Matt Walsh's Co-host or Producer
In your arms and have said so.
[31:40]
Matt Walsh
That is the greatest threat by far.
[31:44]
Matt Walsh's Co-host or Producer
And it's not even close.
[31:48]
Matt Walsh
What the now sitting attorney general of Virginia said is worse than anything any conservative like has ever said, that alone. I want to watch the children of.
[32:03]
Matt Walsh's Co-host or Producer
My enemies die in their arms. Can you find me a conservative, someone on the right who said anything like that?
[32:10]
Matt Walsh
I want to watch their children die in their arms. I'm not aware of even go to the fringiest fringe you can find.
[32:21]
Matt Walsh's Co-host or Producer
I've never even seen anything like that.
[32:27]
Matt Walsh
And yet the guy that said that on the left is not fringe.
[32:31]
Matt Walsh's Co-host or Producer
He is now the chief law enforcement officer of Virginia.
[32:38]
Matt Walsh
So you try to make your moral.
[32:39]
Matt Walsh's Co-host or Producer
Equivalencies all you want. I don't see an equivalence. They want to destroy us. And if we don't return the favor and soon, then none of our disagreements will matter.
[32:56]
Matt Walsh
The foreigners who just voted for Zoran.
[32:58]
Matt Walsh's Co-host or Producer
Mamdani and Abigail Spamberger and Omar Fateh.
[33:00]
Matt Walsh
They don't care about the internal squabbling on the right. Neither should we if we want to.
[33:06]
Matt Walsh's Co-host or Producer
Have any success in the midterms one year from now. Like staying on message, staying focused, staying disciplined, being unified.
[33:14]
Matt Walsh
This above all else is what will win.
[33:19]
Matt Walsh's Co-host or Producer
And if there's any good news from last night, it's that everybody on the.
[33:23]
Matt Walsh
Right, everyone who's paying even the slightest.
[33:25]
Matt Walsh's Co-host or Producer
Bit of attention must now realize that. Now let's get to our five headlines.

It is there. Good.
[36:48]
Matt Walsh's Co-host or Producer
Still there. We need a fish cam today. This is a fish cam emergency. Maybe that's why we got wiped out in the election. Not enough time spent with the fish cam.
[37:00]
Matt Walsh
Really. This is on me.
[37:02]
Matt Walsh's Co-host or Producer
I'll take the fall on this one. I'll take the blame.
[37:06]
Matt Walsh
If only America had been able to.
[37:08]
Matt Walsh's Co-host or Producer
Spend more time with the fish cam. That's what's going to unify us. This is what's going to heal us all. The fish. The mighty fish.
[37:20]
Matt Walsh
This is it.
[37:22]
Matt Walsh's Co-host or Producer
This is the banner that we must march under is the fish.
[37:27]
Matt Walsh
Okay, enough of that. So, just one headline today.
[37:31]
Matt Walsh's Co-host or Producer
We already covered, like four of the headlines in the opening monologue.
[37:33]
Matt Walsh
But I haven't had a chance to talk about this story yet.
[37:36]
Matt Walsh's Co-host or Producer
I've had it for a few days, and so I wanted to talk about it a little bit. I'll read the report now from the Post. Millennial.
[37:44]
Matt Walsh
A gym in Los Angeles terminated the membership of a woman who complained about.
[37:48]
Matt Walsh's Co-host or Producer
A man using the women's locker room. Tish Hyman posted on X. But the experience of having a man follow her into the women's room and call her a only to have her gym membership canceled on Sunday.
[38:00]
Matt Walsh
Hyman posted today he saw me walk.
[38:02]
Matt Walsh's Co-host or Producer
In the women's room, followed me and called me a. I ran into the locker room, ran out into the locker room, crying and screaming.
[38:09]
Matt Walsh
This is why we can't be quiet.
[38:10]
Matt Walsh's Co-host or Producer
Because people need to know what's happening. Thank you to the men who helped me today. In a follow up, Hyman wrote, gold's.
[38:16]
Matt Walsh
Gym terminated my membership after the man.
[38:18]
Matt Walsh's Co-host or Producer
Was escorted out by police.
[38:22]
Matt Walsh
So video was circulating, says the article.
[38:26]
Matt Walsh's Co-host or Producer
Showing Hyman angrily calling out the gym in the lobby. We have that video. Let's. Let's play it.
[38:33]
Tish Hyman
Go Gym. Men grown Men with big in the women's locker room. And that's why I'm getting kicked out. And I want to make sure the girls know the everybody saw that man in the locker room. No one's saying, and I'm done with it. It's stupid and stage of life. Me naked in front of a man without my permission. But I'm the one who get kicked out the gym, y'.
[39:12]
All.
[39:13]
I'm terminated for not wanting men in the locker room.
[39:17]
Matt Walsh
Okay, so there she's there in the lobby, kind of making a scene, rightfully so.
[39:23]
Matt Walsh's Co-host or Producer
She. That's exactly how she should have responded, which we'll discuss.
[39:26]
Matt Walsh
But I also want to play. So she also posted another video talking.
[39:30]
Matt Walsh's Co-host or Producer
About her experience and describing what happened. Let's play that.
[39:35]
Tish Hyman
I just had the worst experience ever at the gym, at Gold's Gym. And I think this is probably happening at gyms across America. We're like, trans women are going into the women's locker room and not really caring about how women feel about it. And it's really hurtful, yo. Like, how are you going to say you want to be a woman or that you are a woman, but you don't give a how women feel. Today I was naked in the locker room. I turned around, and there's a man there in boyish, like, boy clothes, lip gloss, standing there looking at me. I'm butt naked. So the first thing I think is, maybe there's a worker in here. Maybe I missed the sign. I say the word sir to say, sir, what are you doing in here? He goes, don't talk to me. I'm a woman. I have a right to be in here. Immediately I'm pissed because I'm butt naked. I feel violated. I feel, like, weird. Like, I don't want to deal with this, right? So the girls are walking in, and they're seeing the commotion, and they actually chime in and say, yeah, I don't know why he's in here. He's not supposed to be in here. And then I talk to the people that work at Ghost Gym, and they don't really have anything to do. They just like, oh, we can file a report about an incident report. What the is going on? Like, listen, how can you say you a woman or you want to be a woman and you don't care how women feel? That's nothing more manly than not giving a about how women feel. I'd like to think, and I get it. Like, everybody has their own things. And I don't explain. I don't want to say that I know everything about gay rights or trans rights. I'm a lesbian. I've been a lesbian my whole life. I treat people I want to be treated, regardless of whatever their sexual orientation is or whatever they decide.
[41:18]
Matt Walsh
So.
[41:19]
Matt Walsh's Co-host or Producer
Right. So her membership was terminated, even though Obviously she's totally 1000% in the right. And I know it surprises you to.
[41:25]
Matt Walsh
Hear me say that you were wondering.
[41:28]
Matt Walsh's Co-host or Producer
Where I'd stand on this. I know you heard about the story and thought, man, I need Matt Walsh to weigh in so I can find out. I can find out what he thinks about this.
[41:36]
Matt Walsh
It could go either way. You never know.
[41:39]
Matt Walsh's Co-host or Producer
Well, yes, I'm opposed to the man in the women's locker room waving his genitals around in front of a bunch of confused and alarmed women. I'm very much opposed to that, as you probably did expect.
[41:48]
Matt Walsh
But I want to focus on two other points.
[41:51]
Matt Walsh's Co-host or Producer
So, first of all, the response from this woman, Tish, is exactly correct. The only part that she's wrong about is when she. When she started clarifying that she's not transphobic and she's a lesbian and all that. You didn't need to do that.
[42:05]
Matt Walsh
It's okay to be transphobic. You were. They were in your locker room.
[42:10]
Matt Walsh's Co-host or Producer
Right. When the.
[42:11]
Matt Walsh
When the trans people are coming into your locker room, of course you were afraid. Of course you were phobic.
[42:19]
Matt Walsh's Co-host or Producer
You got a man in the locker.
[42:20]
Matt Walsh
Room, you're in a state of undress. Yeah. To have a phobia of that I think is pretty.
[42:28]
Matt Walsh's Co-host or Producer
Pretty rational.
[42:30]
Matt Walsh
So that that qualifier was not necessary, but everything else was right on the money. She reacting in a horrified, infuriated way.
[42:37]
Matt Walsh's Co-host or Producer
Causing a scene, being angry, being offended, like really personally offended. Offended in a serious way. Not in this kind of frivolous way where people are offended by dumb things, but offended like this is offensive. I'm personally offended.
[42:49]
Matt Walsh
That's how you should react. That's how it should be done.
[42:55]
Matt Walsh's Co-host or Producer
That's a natural, appropriate reaction.
[42:56]
Matt Walsh
And I'll tell you this. If women had reacted this way from.
[43:00]
Matt Walsh's Co-host or Producer
The beginning, then the trans movement would have died in the cradle. And I'm not putting it on.
[43:08]
Matt Walsh
I'm not putting all of it on women.
[43:11]
Matt Walsh's Co-host or Producer
Men were cowards on this issue, an equal proportion, I would say.
[43:15]
Matt Walsh
But the fact is that if Women.
[43:17]
Matt Walsh's Co-host or Producer
Back in 2013, 14, 15, had just reacted appropriately and naturally to men all of a sudden showing up in their.
[43:23]
Matt Walsh
Locker rooms and sports, seems that would have been the end of it, really, if men had reacted with the appropriate.
[43:30]
Matt Walsh's Co-host or Producer
Rage to men showing up in the.
[43:32]
Matt Walsh
Locker rooms with their wives and daughters, that would have been the end of it. If everyone had not been so worried.
[43:38]
Matt Walsh's Co-host or Producer
About being polite and being nice and.
[43:40]
Matt Walsh
Being accepting, that would have been the end of it.
[43:43]
Matt Walsh's Co-host or Producer
And there is a lesson in that.
[43:45]
Matt Walsh
When the left tries to get you.
[43:46]
Matt Walsh's Co-host or Producer
To accept something that you know is wrong, that you know is demented, that you know is unnatural and bizarre and.
[43:52]
Matt Walsh
Evil, speak up right away. And don't just speak up. Let loose, get angry, right? Don't hold back, be enraged, be disgusted, be horrified in a peaceful way. Be all of those things peacefully, as peaceful as you can be.
[44:10]
Matt Walsh's Co-host or Producer
Now, I mean, if ever a man tried to walk into the bathroom while my wife or daughter were in there, I would not allow it. I would try to use my words to prevent it. But if words fail, well, I'm just.
[44:25]
Matt Walsh
Not going to allow it.
[44:27]
Matt Walsh's Co-host or Producer
It can't happen. I can't. That's just not gonna happen. I would prevent it from happening and do what needs to be done to protect my family.
[44:34]
Matt Walsh
But we want things to be peaceful.
[44:37]
Matt Walsh's Co-host or Producer
And that's what we prefer.
[44:38]
Matt Walsh
So the point is that Tish had it right.
[44:42]
Matt Walsh's Co-host or Producer
And that's just in that, like from the very beginning, that should have been.
[44:47]
Matt Walsh
The first moment that a man walked.
[44:50]
Matt Walsh's Co-host or Producer
Into a women's locker room.
[44:51]
Matt Walsh
There should have been every woman in the locker room should have been like screaming, what the hell are you doing in here? Get out of here. Because that's how everybody wants to react. But they held back because of this emotional blackmail and because people want to be polite.
[45:07]
Matt Walsh's Co-host or Producer
It's like using the sort of human instinct to be polite and non confrontational, I think was twisted against people very successfully by the trans activists for a time, anyway.
[45:25]
Matt Walsh
And there's another point too, and it's.
[45:27]
Matt Walsh's Co-host or Producer
A point I made before. The trans agenda is losing badly.
[45:32]
Matt Walsh
Now, this happened in California.
[45:34]
Matt Walsh's Co-host or Producer
It still has a stranglehold in California because California is insane. I mean, California is Canada, but warmer, you know, it's like a. It's Canada. It's just a warmer version of Canada. We know that. But generally speaking, the trans agenda is losing.
[45:50]
Matt Walsh
And that's why Tish, if you notice.
[45:52]
Matt Walsh's Co-host or Producer
Is not being really villainized in the mainstream media. I'm sure she is a little bit. I haven't checked.
[45:57]
Matt Walsh
But it's not in the way that.
[45:58]
Matt Walsh's Co-host or Producer
She would have been if this exact same thing happened five years ago. If it was 2020 or 2021, Tish would have been public enemy number one.
[46:06]
Matt Walsh
In the media because she's a woman screaming at a trans identified male trying to deprive him of his right to invade her space. That's transphobic. You're a villain. And they would have been all over her for that. And they're not really. Now they're mostly ignoring the story because it's a loser for them. And they know that the trans agenda is losing and we should really think.
[46:29]
Matt Walsh's Co-host or Producer
About why it's losing.
[46:34]
Matt Walsh
This didn't happen by accident. The trans movement didn't just trip and fall off a cliff all by itself one day. Now, this was the result of a deliberate effort of opposition, of a coordinated.
[46:50]
Matt Walsh's Co-host or Producer
And strategic counteroffensive from the anti trans ideology side, from Team Sanity, as I have called it.
[46:59]
Matt Walsh
We beat them now, not completely, obviously, they still exist.
[47:03]
Matt Walsh's Co-host or Producer
So the fight continues, I think on a smaller scale, but it still continues.
[47:08]
Matt Walsh
But we've won battle after battle, culminating.
[47:10]
Matt Walsh's Co-host or Producer
In Trump using the trans issue to get elected in 2024.
[47:14]
Matt Walsh
That wasn't the only reason he got elected. But as Charlie Kirk pointed out, this issue was one of the determining factors. It really was.
[47:22]
Matt Walsh's Co-host or Producer
And Charlie wouldn't know. And you know, he said it himself. So in a, in a, in the exit polls and everything bear that out.
[47:29]
Matt Walsh
So in a very real sense, we beat them. How did we do it? Conservatives should be looking at this, looking at, looking at one of the most significant and one of the only major cultural victories by the conservative movement in our lifetimes. We have not had that many. We have not had that many victories. This is one of the only ones. A clear, decisive cultural victory where the left tried to do something and we beat it back. And now, yeah, again, they're not totally giving up. They're not gonna just wave the white.
[48:00]
Matt Walsh's Co-host or Producer
Flag and say, nevermind about the trans stuff.
[48:04]
Matt Walsh
But we did beat them. I mean, even. Look at the, look at this. Last election, these candidates were not going.
[48:11]
Matt Walsh's Co-host or Producer
Around talking about trans rights, if you ask them about it. Zoran Mamdani, did he ever talk about it? I'm sure maybe he probably did.
[48:19]
Matt Walsh
It probably came, but he definitely wasn't running on it. They were running away from it. Abigail Spanberger went almost the entire campaign and avoided ever even answering the question.
[48:31]
Matt Walsh's Co-host or Producer
About whether men should be in the women's room until she finally sort of did because she was backed into a corner. And even then it was like a very roundabout way. She was talking about it in a.
[48:39]
Matt Walsh
Way to avoid being clipped, to avoid.
[48:41]
Matt Walsh's Co-host or Producer
Giving anyone any sound bites.
[48:43]
Matt Walsh
So, so we should be looking at.
[48:47]
Matt Walsh's Co-host or Producer
That and we should be saying, how did that happen?
[48:51]
Matt Walsh
What was the strategy? This is what kind of boggles my.
[48:55]
Matt Walsh's Co-host or Producer
Mind that there's very little of that on the right. There's very little of this kind of postmortem.
[49:03]
Matt Walsh
And I mean, we do. There's post mortems all the time.
[49:05]
Matt Walsh's Co-host or Producer
Like every time we lose, there's a postmortem. And I mean, I just did want.
[49:09]
Matt Walsh
To start the show. And that's important too, because, like, when you lose, you got to look at.
[49:13]
Matt Walsh's Co-host or Producer
It and see how did it happen.
[49:14]
Matt Walsh
But on the rare occasion we win, there's never, like, we don't go back and say, well, how did that.
[49:17]
Matt Walsh's Co-host or Producer
That's interesting.
[49:18]
Matt Walsh
How do we pull that off? Well, we should, because you can take.
[49:24]
Matt Walsh's Co-host or Producer
Lessons from that and take them into the next battle.
[49:28]
Matt Walsh
So what was the strategy? Well, the strategy was essentially to do.
[49:33]
Matt Walsh's Co-host or Producer
The exact opposite of everything that milquetoast moderate establishment conservatism told us to do.
[49:41]
Matt Walsh
Do exactly the opposite. We ignored them at every turn and.
[49:46]
Matt Walsh's Co-host or Producer
Did precisely the opposite and we won.
[49:48]
Matt Walsh
Now, of course, moderate establishment conservative types.
[49:51]
Matt Walsh's Co-host or Producer
Have jumped on the anti trans ideology bandwagon.
[49:55]
Matt Walsh
Now that it's safe, right, now that.
[49:58]
Matt Walsh's Co-host or Producer
It'S popular.
[50:00]
Matt Walsh
It'S popular for a reason. It's popular as a result of our efforts. But now that it is, they're on board. So it can be easy to forget.
[50:09]
Matt Walsh's Co-host or Producer
That this was not a moderate establishment conservatism victory.
[50:14]
Matt Walsh
Now there's no risk, like getting up and saying, get men out of women's sports. There's nowhere risk in saying that.
[50:20]
Matt Walsh's Co-host or Producer
It's like, it's a very popular position. There's not a lot of pushback anymore. There's a little bit, but it's again, the left is running away from it. They really don't want to talk about it.
[50:31]
Matt Walsh
And so that it's like, coast is clear.
[50:33]
Matt Walsh's Co-host or Producer
And this is what the kind of the useless conservatives do.
[50:37]
Matt Walsh
They wait on the sidelines and they let everybody, they let the rest of us fight it out and take all the. Get bruised and bloodied and take all the hits. And then when it looks like, okay, you're winning, the score's 57 to 3. Then they say, okay, coach, put me in. And they score like a useless garbage time touchdown.
[50:58]
Matt Walsh's Co-host or Producer
And then they expect to be carried.
[51:00]
Matt Walsh
Off the field like Rudy. So that's kind of how it goes. But still, the question is, so how.
[51:09]
Matt Walsh's Co-host or Producer
Did this victory happen?
[51:10]
Matt Walsh
Well, to begin with, we chose to.
[51:13]
Matt Walsh's Co-host or Producer
Fight on a cultural issue, a culture.
[51:16]
Matt Walsh
War issue chose that fight.
[51:18]
Matt Walsh's Co-host or Producer
The moderate mainstream said that we shouldn't. I'm old enough to remember 10 years ago being lectured by many people on the right that the Trans stuff is a losing issue. Nobody cares.
[51:28]
Matt Walsh
It's already lost.
[51:29]
Matt Walsh's Co-host or Producer
Move on. You can't win it.
[51:31]
Matt Walsh
It's culture war.
[51:32]
Matt Walsh's Co-host or Producer
Nobody cares. No one's talking.
[51:33]
Matt Walsh
And this is what they always say.
[51:35]
Matt Walsh's Co-host or Producer
About the culture issues, about so called, quote unquote social issues. And we ignored them.
[51:41]
Matt Walsh
And then what?
[51:42]
Matt Walsh's Co-host or Producer
We were aggressive, we were focused. We were even sometimes kind of mean and mocking.
[51:50]
Matt Walsh
Because the thing that we're fighting trans.
[51:52]
Matt Walsh's Co-host or Producer
Ideology is evil and dangerous and evil must be mocked. We didn't worry about tone policing.
[52:00]
Matt Walsh
The milquetoast crew, they worried about it.
[52:02]
Matt Walsh's Co-host or Producer
They were tone policing, but we ignored that.
[52:05]
Matt Walsh
I mean, I remember a couple of.
[52:06]
Matt Walsh's Co-host or Producer
Years ago, I did a monologue about Dylan Mulvaney on the show, and it's the main thing that got me demonetized on YouTube. I got demonetized for a year after that and lost hundreds of thousands of dollars because of this one. Mostly because of this one monologue.
[52:22]
Matt Walsh
Wouldn't change a thing, though. But I was very blunt and direct.
[52:27]
Matt Walsh's Co-host or Producer
In how I addressed him, Dylan Mulvaney. And there were conservatives calling me out, didn't like the tone, didn't like how mean I was being easy to forget about this stuff.
[52:39]
Matt Walsh
And some of the ones that were.
[52:41]
Matt Walsh's Co-host or Producer
Doing the tone policing now would be embarrassed by. They don't want to admit it, but.
[52:43]
Matt Walsh
They were at the time they were coming out and saying, I don't really think this is. This is this.
[52:49]
Matt Walsh's Co-host or Producer
We really shouldn't be using a tone like this.
[52:52]
Matt Walsh
This is gonna. This is gonna turn off the, the voters. Well, if we're talking like this, we're gonna lose in 2024. Um, and they also said that, you know, well, we shouldn't even talk about Dylan Mulvaney. Why are we talking about him at all? It doesn't matter. Well, those of us in the fight, we knew better.
[53:13]
Matt Walsh's Co-host or Producer
We knew that Dylan Mulvaney was an example.
[53:16]
Matt Walsh
He had offered himself up as a.
[53:18]
Matt Walsh's Co-host or Producer
Mascot for the trans movement. And we looked at that strategically and.
[53:23]
Matt Walsh
We said, okay, great, you want to be a mascot for this thing? Okay, let's do that then.
[53:32]
Matt Walsh's Co-host or Producer
And so we hung him around the necks of our opponents, this weird guy who was like going out and whatever, 100 days of girlhood or whatever it was, and prancing around pretending to be like a 12 year old girl.
[53:46]
Matt Walsh
And so we said, well, okay, yeah.
[53:48]
Matt Walsh's Co-host or Producer
I mean, this guy wants to be like the mascot for this whole movement. And I think he's a great mascot for it, actually.
[53:54]
Matt Walsh
So let's. And so while yet other conservatives saying, stop talk. You're making him More popular. Stop talking about him. Oh, he knew strategic, like this is a good strategy. Hung him around the neck of Bud Light.
[54:09]
Matt Walsh's Co-host or Producer
Or really they hung them around their own necks. And we pointed out Bud Light lost billions of dollars.
[54:14]
Matt Walsh
That was another point where milquetoast moderate.
[54:16]
Matt Walsh's Co-host or Producer
Conservatives, a lot of like the former liberal types, those guys, they said that focusing on Bud Light was a mistake. It was dumb cancel culture.
[54:28]
Matt Walsh
But we knew we could make an.
[54:29]
Matt Walsh's Co-host or Producer
Example out of Bud Light if we.
[54:30]
Matt Walsh
Made them pay the price. All the other major corporations would see was Bud Light.
[54:36]
Matt Walsh's Co-host or Producer
Like the worst offender of when it comes to wokeness.
[54:39]
Matt Walsh
Not even close.
[54:40]
Matt Walsh's Co-host or Producer
They weren't the worst offender, but they were vulnerable.
[54:44]
Matt Walsh
They were susceptible.
[54:47]
Matt Walsh's Co-host or Producer
Right? They were.
[54:49]
Matt Walsh
It's like we're not going after the fastest, strongest gazelle.
[54:53]
Matt Walsh's Co-host or Producer
Here's one we can take down. And we did. They lost billions and billions of dollars. And the fact that eventually they recovered, that doesn't matter.
[55:06]
Matt Walsh
You want other corporations to see what.
[55:08]
Matt Walsh's Co-host or Producer
Happened to them and if they see.
[55:10]
Matt Walsh
It, then they're going to back off.
[55:12]
Matt Walsh's Co-host or Producer
All of their gay pride celebrations or at least they're going to tone it down significantly.
[55:17]
Matt Walsh
And they did. That's exactly what happened. And we also changed laws. We approached the fight from every direction. Socially, legally.
[55:28]
Matt Walsh's Co-host or Producer
You had to change the laws to protect kids.
[55:30]
Matt Walsh
But you also. We also know that the law is a teacher. The law provides a bully pulpit.
[55:36]
Matt Walsh's Co-host or Producer
Laws help to change people's minds about things.
[55:40]
Matt Walsh
Law matters. Left knows that it's not just about the practical effect of the law. I mean it is that, but it's also the cultural, the social impact of the law itself. And then you cover it from every angle.
[56:00]
Matt Walsh's Co-host or Producer
The culture, corporate world, legislation.
[56:04]
Matt Walsh
And we knew we had to empower the public, empower people to stand up and speak up.
[56:09]
Matt Walsh's Co-host or Producer
That's the other point behind the tone, by the way.
[56:14]
Matt Walsh
There's actually a strategy behind the tone. It's not all just venting. One of the reasons why I'm so.
[56:23]
Matt Walsh's Co-host or Producer
Strident and aggressive in my tone, and I've been lectured for my tone for as long as I've had a platform for a very long time. Well, there's a reason why I am this way now. Part of it is that, yeah, I'm.
[56:32]
Matt Walsh
A stubborn, hard headed asshole for sure, but I don't deny that. But people like me, you know, we.
[56:38]
Matt Walsh's Co-host or Producer
Kind of serve a purpose. We're kind of annoying sometimes.
[56:41]
Matt Walsh
I get it, you get a little sick of us.
[56:43]
Matt Walsh's Co-host or Producer
But you know, using the trans stuff as an example, we knew that, well.
[56:48]
Matt Walsh
If we speak out very aggressively, even.
[56:50]
Matt Walsh's Co-host or Producer
Kind of meanly sometimes even kind of mocking sometimes.
[56:54]
Matt Walsh
That provides cover for everybody else. Because normal people can look at that.
[56:57]
Matt Walsh's Co-host or Producer
And say, okay, well this guy's got.
[56:59]
Matt Walsh
A big platform and look at how.
[57:00]
Matt Walsh's Co-host or Producer
He'S talking about this.
[57:02]
Matt Walsh
Look at what he's saying. He's going way farther than I even would. And then they feel a lot more.
[57:10]
Matt Walsh's Co-host or Producer
Comfortable speaking up in ways that are tend to be much gentler and less aggressive.
[57:17]
Matt Walsh
So you go even farther, speak about it even more stridently than everybody else who's a little bit closer to the middle.
[57:24]
Matt Walsh's Co-host or Producer
It gives them cover. It gives them cover to come closer to you.
[57:29]
Matt Walsh

Matt Walsh's Co-host or Producer

[57:32]
Matt Walsh
It's like one of the only services, really.
[57:36]
Matt Walsh's Co-host or Producer
So the point here is not gloating or whatever. Now is certainly not the time for gloating. We just got our asses handed to us.
[57:46]
Matt Walsh
But that is the point.
[57:47]
Matt Walsh's Co-host or Producer
The point is to learn the lessons. And I still don't think we have to learn the lessons not just of.
[57:57]
Matt Walsh
Defeat, but of victory.
[58:04]
Matt Walsh's Co-host or Producer

Now, this may be shocking for some people to hear, but at Daily Wire, we don't always agree. Friendly Fire, you know, is the show.
[59:37]
Matt Walsh's Co-host or Producer
Where Ben Shapiro, Michael Knowles, Andrew Clavin, and myself, we all get together to disagree, live for the entire Internet to see and comment on. What could possibly go wrong? Well, a new episode of Friendly Fire.
[59:48]
Matt Walsh
Premieres in two weeks on Daily Wire.
[59:50]
Matt Walsh's Co-host or Producer
Plus, and this time we'll also world premiere the official trailer for the Pendragon.
[59:55]
Matt Walsh
Cycle, the Rise of the Merlin only.
[59:58]
Matt Walsh's Co-host or Producer
On friendly fire, November 19, 7pm Eastern on daily Wire. Now let's get to the daily cancellation.
[60:10]
Matt Walsh
A couple weeks ago, I did a.
[60:12]
Matt Walsh's Co-host or Producer
Fairly lengthy monologue that I had been working on for some time about the death of the monoculture and how pop culture, and by extension celebrity, basically no longer exists. Another are million celebrities with millions of followers, and almost none of them have any influence on the culture at all. There are now so many streaming services and social media platforms that it's entirely possible for a talented actor or singer to become very successful while also remaining unknown to the vast majority of the general public. There's no modern equivalent to the craze that surrounded shows like Seinfeld or Friends or the ubiquity of movies like Titanic.
[60:44]
Matt Walsh
And there probably never will be again. Now, the death of the monoculture is.
[60:49]
Matt Walsh's Co-host or Producer
Generally a bad thing, in my view, as I've already outlined, but there is.
[60:52]
Matt Walsh
At least one positive aspect of it. Celebrities truly have no political influence anymore. Now, in the past, that was not the case.
[61:01]
Matt Walsh's Co-host or Producer
The Rat Pack and Sinatra helped put JFK in the White House. One study from the University of Maryland.
[61:06]
Matt Walsh
Supposedly found that Oprah's endorsement all by itself resulted in a million votes for.
[61:10]
Matt Walsh's Co-host or Producer
Barack Obama in the Primaries back in.
[61:12]
Matt Walsh
2008, people got their copies of Oprah.
[61:16]
Matt Walsh's Co-host or Producer
Magazine, saw the endorsement, and they went out to vote. Now, of course, nobody reads Oprah Magazine anymore because it doesn't exist, nor does anyone read any magazines of any kind.
[61:26]
Matt Walsh
Of There are simply too many ways.
[61:28]
Matt Walsh's Co-host or Producer
To access information and too many celebrities.
[61:30]
Matt Walsh
Offering their takes for any particular person's.
[61:32]
Matt Walsh's Co-host or Producer
Opinion to really matter, no matter how rich or powerful that person might be.
[61:36]
Matt Walsh
So this has been true for some.
[61:38]
Matt Walsh's Co-host or Producer
Time, but celebrities have pretended not to realize it, probably because they want to keep selling their endorsements to dysfunctional Democrat Party campaigns.
[61:46]
Matt Walsh
After all, why admit that your endorsement.
[61:48]
Matt Walsh's Co-host or Producer
Is worthless when you can Sell it to Kamala Harris for a million dollars.
[61:52]
Matt Walsh
But there is finally at least one.
[61:54]
Matt Walsh's Co-host or Producer
Hollywood celebrity who's ready to admit what.
[61:56]
Matt Walsh
We'Ve all known for a long time, which is that celebrity endorsements are completely.
[61:59]
Matt Walsh's Co-host or Producer
Pointless and meaningless, and we'd all be better off if these people would stop talking about politics entirely.
[62:06]
Matt Walsh
And surprisingly enough, this realization comes to us from the actress Jennifer Lawrence, who until relatively recently has been one of the most hysterical leftists in Hollywood. Here's what she and her co stars.
[62:17]
Matt Walsh's Co-host or Producer
Were saying just 10 years ago.
[62:19]
Jennifer Lawrence
For example, talk about laying down the law.
[62:23]
Matt Walsh's Co-host or Producer
Yep.
[62:23]
Jennifer Lawrence
Jennifer Lawrence, who knows a thing or two about dystopian societies, said that if Donald Trump becomes the president, it'll be the end of the world. That's right. The 25 year old didn't hold anything back in a recent interview discussing the release of the Hunger Games, Mockingjay Part two. But American born Josh Hutcherson also climbed on the anti Trump ladder, saying he believes the campaign is a publicity stunt and can't be real.
[62:46]
Matt Walsh
That's the kind of insightful political analysis.
[62:48]
Matt Walsh's Co-host or Producer
That you can only get from Hollywood.
[62:51]
Matt Walsh
You know, the world will end if Donald Trump wins, but of course, he.
[62:53]
Matt Walsh's Co-host or Producer
Won'T win because his campaign isn't actually real. Jennifer Lawrence was constantly repeating this kind of leftist dribble for years on end. She also stated in response to Trump's.
[63:02]
Matt Walsh
First election win that, quote, this country.
[63:04]
Matt Walsh's Co-host or Producer
Was founded on immigration and today the.
[63:06]
Matt Walsh
Only people that feel safe that their.
[63:08]
Matt Walsh's Co-host or Producer
Rights are recognized and respected are white men.
[63:10]
Matt Walsh
Then she added, quote, if you're an immigrant, if you're a person of color.
[63:13]
Matt Walsh's Co-host or Producer
If you're lgbtq, if you're a woman, don't be afraid, be loud.
[63:18]
Matt Walsh
So you get the idea she was.
[63:19]
Matt Walsh's Co-host or Producer
A talking points machine.
[63:21]
Matt Walsh
But credit where it's due, Jennifer Lawrence.
[63:22]
Matt Walsh's Co-host or Producer
Finally appears to be tired of this whole act. Unlike every other leftist celebrity, and unlike all the fake climate change scientist, Jennifer.
[63:29]
Matt Walsh
Lawrence is apparently capable of looking back.
[63:31]
Matt Walsh's Co-host or Producer
On her past statements and realizing, at the very least, how utterly dumb and pointless they were.
[63:35]
Matt Walsh
This is from a recent interview with.
[63:37]
Matt Walsh's Co-host or Producer
The New York Times.
[63:38]
Jennifer Lawrence
Listen, you have been politically outspoken in the past. In the first Trump administration, you had a lot to say. I'm curious.
[63:53]
Mariam Jaradi
How you feel about talking out now.
[63:56]
Jennifer Lawrence
I don't really know if I should. I think the first Trump administration was so wild and just how can we let this stand? Like, I felt like I was running around like a chicken with my head cut off. But as we've learned, election after election, celebrities do not make a difference whatsoever on who people Vote for. And so then what am I doing? I'm just sharing my opinion on something that's gonna just add fuel to a fire that's ripping the country apart. I mean, we are so divided.
[64:40]
Matt Walsh
So she isn't willing to admit that.
[64:42]
Matt Walsh's Co-host or Producer
She was wrong, which obviously requires some degree of self awareness and integrity. She's not willing to reflect on why she stated that the world was going to end if Donald Trump won, or why she said that only white men are capable of feeling safe in America.
[64:54]
Matt Walsh
Lawrence does say that she was running.
[64:56]
Matt Walsh's Co-host or Producer
Around like a chicken with its head cut off, which sounds like an admission that she was acting insane and unreasonable. Beyond that, there's no reflection as to why she came to believe any of these talking points or why she repeated them.
[65:06]
Matt Walsh
But at the same time, from a.
[65:08]
Matt Walsh's Co-host or Producer
Practical perspective, she is willing to acknowledge the futility of everything that she was doing, namely talking about politics.
[65:15]
Matt Walsh
So now she's giving that up. And in part, she says that she's motivated by desire to stop alienating half.
[65:21]
Matt Walsh's Co-host or Producer
Of her potential audience. Watch.
[65:24]
Jennifer Lawrence
I think I'm in a complicated recalibration because I'm also an artist, and I. With this temperature and the way that things can turn out, I don't want to start turning people off to films and to art that could change consciousness or change the world because they don't like my political opinions. I want to protect my craft so that you can still get lost in what I'm doing, what I'm showing. And if I can't say something that's gonna speak to some kind of peace or lowering the temperature or some sort of solution, I just don't want. I don't. I don't want to be a part of the problem. I don't want to make the problem worse.
[66:24]
Matt Walsh
Well, you know, YouTube invented the playback.
[66:26]
Matt Walsh's Co-host or Producer
Speed option for interviews like this one, where they're talking at half speed. You have to double the playback speed on this one if you want it to sound remotely like a normal conversation. That's the only way I was able to get through the part of this interview that I watched, which was only about three minutes before I had to turn it off.
[66:41]
Matt Walsh
But I watched enough of this interview to know that Jennifer Lawrence isn't being honest here.
[66:45]
Matt Walsh's Co-host or Producer
She's not suddenly interested in attracting a conservative audience. And even if she were interested in that, she knows that none of her political opinions matter one way or another when it comes to attracting a conservative audience to her projects.
[66:57]
Matt Walsh
Conservatives understand, and we've understood for a long time, that pretty much everybody in Hollywood Hates us. That's built in. We're capable of ignoring that fact when.
[67:05]
Matt Walsh's Co-host or Producer
We watch movies and television shows, because unlike leftists, we don't spend every waking hour dreaming of ways to punish people who disagree with us. Were capable of watching a Jennifer Lawrence.
[67:14]
Matt Walsh
Movie as long as they're good.
[67:15]
Matt Walsh's Co-host or Producer
Which one or two of them are.
[67:18]
Matt Walsh
Regardless of what dumb opinions happen, she happens to hold.
[67:21]
Matt Walsh's Co-host or Producer
We've never took her opinion seriously to.
[67:23]
Matt Walsh
Begin with, and she's flattering herself if she thinks otherwise. But as the interview went on, for.
[67:29]
Matt Walsh's Co-host or Producer
Some reason, she kept offering more and more justifications for why she isn't political anymore. And somehow each justification made even less sense than the last one. Watch.
[67:38]
Jennifer Lawrence
It feels. The, The. The second term feels different, you know, because it's like we all knew he said what he was going to do. We. We knew what he did for four years. He was very clear, and that's what we chose again. I think there's something that just feels different at the second. Second term.
[68:07]
Matt Walsh
Yes.
[68:07]
Matt Walsh's Co-host or Producer
The second Trump term is different from the first term because this time around, people knew what Trump was going to do before they voted for him, and that's, like, totally a major difference. The first time around, people were just voting for Trump as a joke, I guess. They had no idea what his platform was. Trump voters, according to Jennifer Lawrence, weren't actually interested in bringing back manufacturing jobs or lowering taxes or ending foreign wars or putting an end to Hillary Clinton's.
[68:31]
Matt Walsh
Criminal enterprise or closing the border, deporting illegal aliens or any of that. They just voted for Trump because they.
[68:38]
Matt Walsh's Co-host or Producer
Like the sound of his. Of his name, I guess.
[68:41]
Matt Walsh
And then, to their shock and horror, Trump started doing the exact same things that he said he was going to do.
[68:46]
Matt Walsh's Co-host or Producer
It's funny how that works.
[68:47]
Matt Walsh
Now, at this point, you're probably starting.
[68:49]
Matt Walsh's Co-host or Producer
To suspect that the reason she talks so slowly is that her brain is like one of those old hard drives that sputters very loudly when you turn the computer on. We're not dealing with the fastest horse in the race, to put it mildly, to mix metaphors.
[69:01]
Matt Walsh
She doesn't seem capable of understanding that we all knew what Trump was going.
[69:05]
Matt Walsh's Co-host or Producer
To do back in 2016. That's why 63 million people voted for him.
[69:08]
Matt Walsh
And honestly, I don't expect Jennifer Lawrence.
[69:11]
Matt Walsh's Co-host or Producer
To ever come to any of those realizations, nor do I care if she does.
[69:14]
Matt Walsh
The important thing is that she recognizes.
[69:16]
Matt Walsh's Co-host or Producer
For one reason or another, that celebrities should stop sharing their opinions about any topic of significance whatsoever. Now that she's conceded defeat on this point, there's hope that many other vapid.
[69:26]
Matt Walsh
Celebrities will soon follow. There's hope that we can go 24.
[69:30]
Matt Walsh's Co-host or Producer
Hours without hearing about a random actor's opinion about open borders or, you know, a non binary singer's hot take on the Second Amendment or whatever.
[69:39]
Matt Walsh
Ten years ago, Jennifer Lawrence confidently predicted that the world would end if Trump won. And we can safely say a decade later that, I mean, at least the world still exists, as far as I can tell.
[69:52]
Matt Walsh's Co-host or Producer
But the monoculture is indeed dead and buried.
[69:54]
Matt Walsh
And while I used to think that.
[69:55]
Matt Walsh's Co-host or Producer
That was an unequivocally negative development thanks.
[69:58]
Matt Walsh
To Jennifer Lawrence, I can see at least one faint glimmer of an upside. And that is why the era of.
[70:04]
Matt Walsh's Co-host or Producer
Celebrity influence over our politics is today, thankfully and belatedly canceled. That'll do it for the show today.
[70:12]
Matt Walsh
Thanks for watching.
[70:12]
