Starting point is 00:00:00 Hi, hello. On today's episode, we talk about conservatives trying to generate controversies that don't exist about the WNBA and 9-11. Plus, we talk about the new Daily Wire Plus trailer. Wowie and Zowie folks, welcome back to even more news. The first, the only, the news, the podcast, the network, the phrase that we say at the beginning. Hi, I'm Cody Johnston. And with us today is not Katie. I'm so sorry she is out this episode, living her life. But with us, as always, Jonathan is also here, the name of him. Hi. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:00:56 We should housekeep for everyone because there's this episode. Then there's going to be a new some more news in a couple days. And then at the end of the week, we'll be releasing a thing we'll be. recorded in advance. Not about the news. Not about the news. And then next week we're off completely. So this will be the last even more news for two weeks. No more news, folks. You can just go out and live. You can, you don't have to worry about the news at all. It'll still be going on actually. Sure. I mean, I say no more even more news after this for two weeks unless it or something close to it happens and then wherever we are in this crazy world we'll get our phones out. All the video
Starting point is 00:01:43 will be vertical because we'll all be in different places. Sorry vacation, we'll say. And the thing happens. So here we are talking about the thing. Or thing adjacent. There's a couple of things that could be thing adjacent. Who knows? There are a few things that would get us to do that. We don't have a list. We don't have a list and we're not going to say any of my loud. And maybe we want some of them to happen more than others and maybe we have no opinion. Who knows? We're not going to say until it happens. Whatever it is, we don't know. We'll react to it, whatever it may be happens. We're just talking about more another diarrhea story. Yeah, yeah, yeah. If there's more diarrhea, then we'll do an emergency podcast. Well, it deserves an emergency podcast. That's that kind of thing. It's explosive.
Starting point is 00:02:29 But today, we are going to talk about the news. Yeah, yeah. Because like we said, maybe the next week or so we won't be. What's going on? Well, the biggest thing in the conservative world right now is what we know they care about is the WNBA. Oh, they love watching and rooting for women play sports. They love women's basketball. They like going.
Starting point is 00:02:52 They like the whole thing. They like the fever, the Valkyries, the et cetera's. They love it all. They know all the names and whatnot. All the teams, all of it. And so they care a lot about it this week because a couple of, shitty former and has been
Starting point is 00:03:10 NBA players Enis Cantor Freedom and Royce White we'll talk about them they say they're declaring for the WNBA draft because we got you in an impossible
Starting point is 00:03:22 situation now we're men but we're just saying we're trans women and thus must be eligible for the draft right gotcha they say you know how the when people are like
Starting point is 00:03:35 trans women, trans men or men. We like believe, like, you know how we're also like, and if you are obviously lying? Come on. Yeah. Yeah, we support you too. The obvious liars who are making a bad point. Excellent stuff. The reason they're picking this battle right now is because the WNBA doesn't have, you know,
Starting point is 00:03:58 a fully written out policy for trans players. There are no trans women in the WNBA. So they don't have that. But since there's nothing, they're like playing by airbud rules, basically. Like, since there's nothing in the rules that say you can't just say you're a woman, since they won't say what a woman is in their book, we can declare for the draft.
Starting point is 00:04:21 And obviously I'm full of shit and I don't want to do this. And I just want your attention. So give it to me. And you can look up, Enos Cantor Freedoms played in the league for like 11 years, but his minutes are dwindling. His time is over. And so this is his thing.
Starting point is 00:04:38 Royce White was a first round draft pick, I think, in 2012 or something, but was never good, only played in a couple games, logged a few minutes, does not have a point in the NBA. And then retired, I believe, because he was afraid of flying and didn't want to take planes everywhere, but also was not good enough to maintain an NBA career. And so he's like a Republican Senate candidate. I mean, this is just attention-seeking nonsense. It's so obviously. It's that's what, like, I'll just say, I almost didn't want to talk about this because
Starting point is 00:05:12 it's so like, they just want, they just want your oxygen, your attention. They're just bothering people publicly is what they're doing. This is just bothering people. And of course, they're immediately showing that they don't care about women's sports at all because they want to make a mockery of the biggest women's sports league in the country. It's popular. It's good. People like it.
Starting point is 00:05:36 Like, they've got some great players. It's fun to watch. Not to them. They fucking hate it. No, they don't like it. They think it's a bad product. They think it's silly and stupid. And, you know, anytime women in sports complain about getting paid so much less, they
Starting point is 00:05:53 scoff and mock it. But anyway, they really care about the sanctity. Integrity of women's sports. This is all coming at the same time as this player, Sophie Cunningham, who's on the Indiana Fever on the same team as Caitlin Clark, really good player. Caitlin Clark's like the best, one of the best players, but she's white, and so the right wingers all want Caitlin Clark to be their little white basketball player to say all their racist stuff, and anti-trans stuff, and she won't do that.
Starting point is 00:06:30 She wants to, I would argue, shut up and dribble. Yeah. I also, ideally, she's not like racist and doesn't want to be a part of any of this stuff and knows it stupid. But all, but like, she's wants to play basketball. And so Sophie Cunningham a few weeks ago, when asked on in the press conference, she's like, oh yeah, this should be just for biological women and girls, whatever. And like, gave them what they wanted, gave the right wingers what they wanted. And so now she's taken... Yeah, I'll be your hero.
Starting point is 00:07:03 Right. It was like she put a toe in the water and then within a week she's taking photos with Riley Gaines. So, and then this weekend, a few days ago, she took a hard foul in a basketball game from a black player. And now all the right wingers are saying she's the victim of racial violence.
Starting point is 00:07:22 I want to read a Matt Walsh post. Oh! I don't know if you've seen this, Cody. I've... I scrolled past. it, but I think I know which one you're talking about. He says, it really is incredible that there's just outright racial violence happening in the WNBA. Every men's professional sports league has black and white players and they aren't having these problems.
Starting point is 00:07:43 Remember this the next time a feminist tells you women should rule the world because they're more peaceful and empathetic or whatever. So in this one tweet, he's got like his, this is why it's a perfect... How do that? This is a perfect culture war thing for them because they get to be racist. they get to be anti-trans, they get to be misogynist. They can be misogynist. Like, it's all of them. That's all the stuff they want to do.
Starting point is 00:08:05 That's like, it is actually an impressive tweet at how mean it is to so many different groups of people who are not him. And just like missing the, like, not like being accurate and just like the hysteria of it all. And I imagine that if it were reversed, they'd be like, there's just a foul. It's not like, like the guy who's like, there's actually. not like police don't you know kill black people he he wouldn't this is it the contrast is just incredible uh what a guy who doesn't really believe much it's a hard foul people are fouled in the game
Starting point is 00:08:44 of basketball if you've watched a basketball game men's basketball as well there are hard fouls as well people get in each other's faces but when it's a black player on a white player that they've heard of and know and is their hero player they assume that's all anyone is thinking about. No one's trying to win a game. The implication seems to be not just like, oh, you know how like women are actually the violent ones or whatever he's trying to say, but also it's implying that black players specifically are mad at Sophie Cunningham for her trans comments? Like there's no, like where does the racial aspect come in in terms of like the dynamics? Like what like politically? What's what's the thing that's making them go after her because of her race.
Starting point is 00:09:31 That's a separate. They have combined two different WNBA culture war things. So they've taken this whole thing because they've been on the black players foul Caitlin Clark too hard. There's racial violence against Caitlin Clark because of this. Now they are bringing Sophie Cunningham into it who's not as good as Caitlin Clark. But they're bringing her into it. And so now white player gets fouled by black player.
Starting point is 00:09:57 That's it. That's all they need to see. They're doing the thing that they accuse the left of doing when a white cop beats the shit out of ever shoots a black person, right? They are doing that thing. They don't know. They don't watch the games. As Matt Walsh, I think, has admitted before, he doesn't actually care or respect it.
Starting point is 00:10:16 No, he does not. Yeah, I feel like he's one of the more honest ones, not all the time, obviously, and not about everything, but just sort of like, yeah, we're just like doing the culture war stuff, right? In fact, I don't know, we don't need to play it, but there's a clip of Jesse Waters for a few days ago when they were talking about this being like, why are we still talking about this? Why are we still talking about the WNBA?
Starting point is 00:10:39 Like, it's just a, like, he weirdly is frustrated that his job is to talk about this stuff. Yes. He's supposed to talk about the culture war and only that, but he's frustrated with it. And I think it's because he's a misogynist, and it's obviously because it's women's basketball, If it were another sport, but the exact same dynamics were going on, he would want to talk about it.
Starting point is 00:11:02 But he doesn't like women. So he doesn't think this is worth his time. Well, it's also, like, for us, we're not a sports podcast. We don't know all the, like, internal stories of all this stuff. I mean, I went to a WNBA game yesterday. It was fun. Yes, you did. But Jesse Waters does not know all the specifics.
Starting point is 00:11:24 He's like, I have to learn the characters for this new thing now. like the thing where I know the characters already. Give me a famous person that I can like pick apart and do all that stuff. Yeah. And then I'll do my mad libs and I'll do the thing that I do. Right. And so it's funny because Jesse Waters wants to do the thing that the WNBA, the players association said where they said we will not be used as political pawns because none of these people jumping into it care or want anything to do with it. It's just a league that is growing in popularity. It's as popular as it's ever been, but not among them. or the Fox News viewers, it is a
Starting point is 00:11:59 thing on the wall for them to throw darts at and they don't care what's on the poster. Exactly, yes, exactly. Good for them, I guess. They got something to be mad about but also mad at each other about for having to talk about it. I do want to, like, flow,
Starting point is 00:12:17 because I don't know what the perfect solution. Their whole thing is like, oh, we got the W.NBA into an impossible situation. They can either let these people play and then we've made a mockery of the sport or shut them out, and then they're admitting that they don't believe women, right? Like, they think they've got it in this, like, perfect finger trap. Caitlin Burns in a blog post suggests that the WNBA could just do what the Olympics does
Starting point is 00:12:47 and a bunch of other leagues do where they require two years of testosterone suppression therapy, and then you can play. after that, by the way, a lot of studies have shown that trans women who've been on that therapy for multiple years do not have any advantage. In fact, they may be at a disadvantage. That's what seems to indicate. It's more complex and nuanced than people ever, ever, ever, ever want to discuss. But that's also, I mean, to that point, it's like, there ain't no rule in the rule book
Starting point is 00:13:23 that says, so they're going to add this. possibly these guidelines. These are the same Matt Wall. I can't believe Matt Wall is just tweeting this about this. They made Daily Wire made ladyballers because they couldn't do this. Like this little stunt that Enos and Royce are trying to do,
Starting point is 00:13:45 the people at the Daily Wire tried to join women's basketball leagues as men to prove a point, but they couldn't because of these guidelines. so they had to fake it and make up a fake movie to show the danger of the thing that they can't actually do. So it's interesting that they're just trying to do it again. Well, right. They've made up a problem that doesn't exist
Starting point is 00:14:11 and are trying to exploit that problem. I would also posit, like, that is 100% true. Ben Shapiro has said we wanted to make a ladyballers a documentary, but we couldn't. You can't. Right. But also, I would posit that the people they got to potentially try to do that could not compete in the leagues.
Starting point is 00:14:28 That's what I'm interested in. Part of me is like, I can fucking go for it. Like, who do those guys know? Yeah. Like the stars of the movie lady ballers? I think those guys would get trounced in a league. But in the movie, they depicted them not getting trounced. Yes.
Starting point is 00:14:44 So in the movie, they played little girls. So. Oh, terrible. Also, and just, I guess, final note on this stupid fucking story. Apparently the Attorney General of Florida is threatening basketball players with being charged with assault and battery for fouls in the game.
Starting point is 00:15:05 He's bad at the whole league, this guy James Uthmeyer. He says the WNBA knows better than to play games down here in Florida because I'll be charging people with assault and then shows the foul. And then he follows up with, I should probably clarify,
Starting point is 00:15:19 assault and battery. Oh, yeah, you made your tweet better. You made it better. So that's the thing they care about right now I was going to say Speaking of pretending to care about stuff And inventing problems and people That don't even fucking exist
Starting point is 00:15:39 This is this is So dumb because it is It's the same thing It's not a problem There was a New York Post article I'll pull up this headline right now Stay away Thousands of 9-11 families
Starting point is 00:15:52 Demand Mom Donnie be banned From 25th anniversary ceremony and what that is referencing, because we're like, oh, really, thousands of 9-11 families are demanding Mamdani be banned? For what? And all that is referencing is a change.org petition that says, we think MomDani should stay away from 9-11 ceremony and it just lists a bunch of Muslim things. And it has 81,000 signatures, but it is a change. dot org petition. It's not
Starting point is 00:16:28 that anybody can sign. It's not exclusive to 9-11 families and in fact a story on CBS news
Starting point is 00:16:34 that reported that thousands of 9-11 families wanted Mom Dani Band they picked up this New York Post story.
Starting point is 00:16:42 They changed their story and updated it to reflect that a lot of 9-11 families don't feel that way and are actually fine with
Starting point is 00:16:50 the mayor of New York. Oh! Because he's the mayor of New York and not as scared very Muslim. Yes. It's quite, I mean, quite a story.
Starting point is 00:17:02 I mean, the New York Post story, it's not even like, yeah, they ran a story in their website. It's the physical paper. Like, they printed it out. They're just in the world now. They're never going to retract that. It's just in the physical world for people to read and freak out about. And it's just, I don't know, it's obviously disgusting and stupid.
Starting point is 00:17:23 But I do think that there's. something funny and potentially like, it's like, it's so good that he's the mayor. Like this tension that keeps like presenting itself is I think perhaps like important to continue of like just like, oh, we can't believe the mayor's doing this. It's like, why? And it's obvious that it's just hatred of Muslims. That's all it is. And there's nothing he said.
Starting point is 00:17:54 I'm sure that people are. his best friend, Hassan Piker, or whatever they're going to say. And it's just they're in their minds. They associate any person with any other person that scares them. Yeah. And they create this boogeyman. And it's like, no, he's just like filling potholes and stuff. I don't know what you're like, what are you scared about?
Starting point is 00:18:15 Good for them for finding actual families who are like, what? Yeah. The CBS News headline now reads, some 9-11 families defend Mayor Momdani's inclusion at upcoming remembrance ceremonies and actually cites them, right? It's like reporting, it's journalism, unlike what the New York Post did, which is like, look at some petitions and are like, oh, look at this, because the petition says it is in this spirit that we, the family members of those murdered on 9-11, and I guess they've got extended, you know, they've got all great grandchildren now because it's 81,000 plus people.
Starting point is 00:18:50 No And also the petition's written by chat GPT I know people don't care about it as much anymore But like I'm reading this thing And it says for 9-11 families This is not simply a public ceremony hyphen It is a deeply personal day of morning Okay thanks you couldn't bother
Starting point is 00:19:07 You're so angry you couldn't bother to write it yourself I'm losing this battle No I know I know you are And that sucks And I don't think that the fight should be ended or given up on. I really, it's, it's a problem that people keep like forgiving this or like just being like, yeah,
Starting point is 00:19:32 it's helpful, it's useful. You're breaking your brain. Like you won't be able to write anymore. If you keep outsourcing your writing, you'll write differently. You'll write worse and more annoyingly. And you won't be able to continue to do it. You need to keep doing it in the same way.
Starting point is 00:19:49 you need to like talk to it's just very frustrating and they won't be able because they're all of the models are aware of this the Claude chat GPT they all know that they have a it's not this but this problem with it it's just like a very simple framework for the models
Starting point is 00:20:05 to go to and they can't program it out because it is now more and more being trained on AI slot that is being spit out it's going to be a feedback loop where it just becomes more prevalent instead of less prevalent and you see it you can't unsee it and it's it's a very specific way it does it and i it's
Starting point is 00:20:27 kind of indefinable like we all know that chat gpt will say not just this not just this but this third thing yeah that's and people have written like that for a long time there's a reason it's like a feature of it like yeah it's trained on stuff but yeah like here's a stephen a smith tweet i'm going to read i guess mike will bond the the sports journalist and commentator said Stephen A. Smith is not a journalist anymore. And so Stephen A. Smith tweets, so I brought my longtime friend and colleague on the show
Starting point is 00:20:58 to say it to my face. No scripts. No dodging. Just an honest conversation about journalism, television, friendship, and where the line really is. Stephen, you don't talk like that. You don't talk like that at all.
Starting point is 00:21:10 That's not you. That's absurd, man. Be you. It's not even like, it's a tweet. Just write your own fucking tweets. His whole job is talking. like himself and making himself a person out like it's very very frustrating and it is everywhere now
Starting point is 00:21:26 and people might just get used to it they might just not notice or be fine but us i don't know maybe it's like pompous that us highfalutin writers are like but i can't read anything anymore it's no good i just like i i i keep seeing more and more people dip into it and i guess i i will maintain it for as long as it's fucking possible that we just like do our own research and write our own things and make sure we're like writing our own sentences and stuff it's just like some more news scripts are never perfect right no fine tune we write we fact check we do all this stuff and i think now there's something like joyous about imperfection in writing like i like just seeing that a person wrote a thing even if it's like not great writing or whatever Yeah. That's the Some More News promise. Like, no matter what. No matter what.
Starting point is 00:22:26 Unless they like make it illegal and like make it really, really difficult. One night a year we can not use chatting. One night a year, you can write your own script. God. Yeah, it's just very, very frustrating. And I do appreciate just like, yeah, even if it sucks, you're doing it yourself. We don't need to talk about it much, but or at all. but there's a video going around over the weekend and everyone has an opinion on it.
Starting point is 00:22:52 It's a guy playing guitar and he's very technically talented. It's not for everybody. Yeah. It's not for me. I don't like it. But it's like, but he's a real person at least. He's doing it for real. And also that video in particular was like for education purposes.
Starting point is 00:23:08 It's not like here's my song, enjoy it. It's like here are all the techniques and skills you'll learn, whatever. But just like real people doing real stuff is just let's keep it. up folks I like it create your art publish anything even if it sucks it's great it's you it's soulful keep it have no fear anymore right because you'll be able to tell it came from in there deep inside your right it's like yeah it'll it's gonna and even like oh i'm learning an instrument it's going to suck for a while everyone hates hearing it i love hearing it now i think it sounds amazing it sounds like shit but it sounds so good like just you know a streaming channel has to be
Starting point is 00:23:47 good when I tell you to watch it while you're literally watching something else. Isn't that wild? You theoretically could always be using the product I'm talking about while you're watching me talk, but in this instance, you can't because you're here, not on Pluto TV, but anyway, I digress. You should definitely go there instead of here, eventually, not now. After we're done recording this, after you're going to watching this. But soon, you can go there so you can glop up.
Starting point is 00:24:17 up straight glop, like Top Gun, Maverick, Transformers, Rise of the Beasts, Dungeons and Dragons, honor among thieves, and award-winning films from international and art house filmmakers like Whispers of the Morning, screams of an afternoon, the marriage of Maria Menuno's,
Starting point is 00:24:39 golly, fear sure does eat the soul, eraser butt, Y, E, two, llamas tambian. Jules and Jim and they clash me outside. How badda lady. Eight and two thirds. Yo Jimbo. G for ginger snaps. Betaville. Betaville. My cat is a wife now. Richard geared the wrath of God. A groc work white. Last year at Marian Alago. And sock. Stream all the goodies after you do the goody, goody streaming here. But do it.
Starting point is 00:25:22 Regardless, just go ahead and do it. Pluto TV, stream now, pay never. Finish watching this video first, though. There's this burrito thing where someone mentioned a $20 burrito and the right is really tearing each other apart because parts of the right are like, you can't afford a burrito anymore. Burritos are $20 and other parts of the right. Like, ah, you're not a real man. because you don't buy tortillas and make your own cheap burrito.
Starting point is 00:25:52 Even, like, even, uh, Dan Crenshaw came out. Uh, even he was like, just do it everybody does and eat ramen for like, for a year, whatever. And it's just like so funny that if, if this was a different year,
Starting point is 00:26:05 for example, 2022, 2023, um, you know what? 2012, 2013, uh,
Starting point is 00:26:16 whatever was going on in those years. Yeah, whatever. let's just pick a year and decide, let's just decide in that year the president's a Democrat if anybody was like stuff's too expensive and like
Starting point is 00:26:28 a Democrat was like just like eat bread every day or like just like fucking ration your shit man they would be so mad they would say this is America you shouldn't be doing this we're the greatest country in the world you don't you don't have to like it's just so silly and some conservatives are pointing that out like
Starting point is 00:26:46 hey we did this same thing a few years ago we ignore the affordability discussion at our own risk like Trump can say it's a hoax and stuff but like this ruined a presidency $20 billion, $16 burritos ruined a presidency, now they're $20 and you get diarrhea if you eat. And you get diarrhea because you can't put jalapenos, salsa, guac, lettuce, et cetera. Oh, God, there's so many things you can't put in your burrito now. So keep that in your mind that there's this $20 burrito discussion happening on the right. then Mark Thesson, a Washington Post op-ed columnist, conservative guy, writes,
Starting point is 00:27:21 Cry me a River, the burritos in the college cafeteria are included in your meal plan reacting to a college person complaining about a college person. I don't even know what I'm saying anymore. So J.D. Vance quote quits this guy, who I can't emphasize enough is on his side. It's a conservative on his administration. Not even just like he's a conservative, but like he seems to be on his side on this issue. Right. It's unclear.
Starting point is 00:27:49 It's confusing. They're not, yeah. Not only conservative, but agrees with the administration that you should shut up is basically. Right. Like, he's trying to help you. J.D. Vance tweets, I'm surprised to hear Mark say this. If you've ever met him in person, it's quite obvious the man has never missed a burrito. Okay.
Starting point is 00:28:11 Mm. I have, I've got like. three different things to say on this and we're probably going to cross over Cody but you say I'm I'm here for all of it I've got my thoughts and it probably are the same but I know you wanted to talk about this since this was tweeted yes then this is like a week ago is a week ago at 648 a.m. we held it until katie's not here so that we can really dig in because because Katie would look at this and say I don't I don't even want to give this guy why do we yeah what is this one tweet about burritos?
Starting point is 00:28:43 This is like not the news. So one of my things is about the structure of the joke because J.D. Vance shouldn't be surprised to hear Mark say this because the point Mark is making is that you should be able to have burritos. They're in your college cafeteria. So he's saying don't abstain from burritos. So the joke would be, I'm not surprised to hear Mark say this. It makes sense that Mark would be,
Starting point is 00:29:13 say this because if you've ever met him in person and then make the joke you were trying to make. Yes, because Mark is saying, I know where all the cheap burritos are. And so, Jay, do you like, oh, yeah, because of the thing, because of whatever. That's what you're trying to, right, but it's, you reversed it and you couldn't even do your bad joke. Yeah, no, they, right off the bat, he's like not quite grasping his own premise or the conversation or like what Mark's saying or what he's saying. Maybe he doesn't know who this person is. I don't think that's the case. Maybe not, but like his tweet implies that he does because that they're friends. He implies that they're friends and is this a gentle ripping or is this like he's being mean? What's going on with this tweet? I think it's
Starting point is 00:30:01 trying to be a gentle ribbing but he also intentionally misspells his name because his name M-A-R-C is right there. It's written right there. He writes M-A-R-K. Maybe not intentional, but he's does that kind of thing. Yeah, he does do that kind of thing on purpose. JD will be like, whatever, whatever her name is, Kamala Harris, whatever, I don't know how to pronounce it. Yeah, but that's extremely calculated. And like, same thing with like the mom-dami kind of stuff or whatever.
Starting point is 00:30:28 But this just, I think, points to his laziness and his disinterest in this entire thing, but he wants to have a tweet because that's what he cares about. Yes. And then the third thing Glasshouses, J.D. And listen, you're the one who made the joke. You are trying to poke at Mark Thiessen's weight, apparently. You know what one of the jabs about your appearance has been over the years.
Starting point is 00:31:03 It very much bothers you as it should, as people shouldn't be joked about for their weight. It's unnecessary, yeah. But JD. Glass houses. Yeah. Also, I mean, if you look up pictures of Mark, he's just a guy. He looks, he's just like schlubby or whatever.
Starting point is 00:31:21 Like, there's no, I don't even, like, it's, it's the same build as J.D. Vance had a few years ago. Yes. He's just a guy. And especially compared to J.D.'s boss, the dying man. But, like, it's really, really stupid. and bad job JD. And it's like, to your point, JD, this stuff obviously bothers you too.
Starting point is 00:31:51 So why are you doing it to other people? And we know it's just how they operate. They just like need to get all their like, I've been bullied out by bullying other people and so on and so forth and feeling so big. They feel so big now. But like a 20 year old who breaks his job. jaw with hammers and does meth to lose weight made fun of him on a stream or like an interview.
Starting point is 00:32:17 And then he started to lose weight. Like that's more embarrassing than being a little overweight. The fact that clavicular got J.D. to like go on OZempic or whatever because he doesn't have time to exercise. He doesn't have time to look into the alien demons that he believes in. He doesn't have time for anything. So it's just like, J.D.'s more embarrassing. than if he didn't lose some weight, in my opinion. I mean, I just don't understand. Because he took a social media backseat a little bit after Susie Weil said, cut the shit.
Starting point is 00:32:57 JD, especially, everyone, but cut the shit a little bit. But like JD, yeah, yeah. We have our people who can post for Trump and Trump can say whatever he wants. You're not him. You're not him. You can't do it. He can't do this.
Starting point is 00:33:10 If Trump wanted to do this tweet, it would have been so much better. And not that that's a compliment to him, he's, I don't, I don't even think he's, like, really that funny anymore. I just fucking hate the guy. But, like, it would have been not this nonsense. This is nothing. Well, right. Trump would make a joke.
Starting point is 00:33:27 He, like, he talks about how much cheaper OZempic is now under him and then makes fun of people who use it. Like, he has no concept. And that's funny that he doesn't get the difference. But J.D. should know how to. structure a joke. He should maybe like he's he's pretending
Starting point is 00:33:45 that he's the kind of person who wants to take cheap shots at people and so him embodying that is more embarrassing than if you just were that guy. Yes. Him trying to wear Trump's skin with this tweet is very, very embarrassing for him
Starting point is 00:34:01 and he shouldn't tweet. He shouldn't be the vice president. He should just go away. I guess like Speaking of everything we've talked about and these creating monsters that don't exist and finding any excuse to be racist and misunderstanding a lot of stuff and just being generally odious and distasteful, I guess we're going to watch some sort of Daily Wire endeavor into the arts. Well, we talked up ladyballers already. So we're really promoting all of their films. The guy who wrote and directed and started late ballers.
Starting point is 00:34:42 80 ballers is gone from Daily Wire, but they're still doing it. They greenlit stuff long ago that they got to make. Was that $20 million bad Lord of the Rings not successful? And then he had to go? It was released on Daily Wire Plus, a subscription service that exists. That's true. I assume it was a success then. All right.
Starting point is 00:35:04 Well, here's their new trailer. Your country is beneath contempt. We who love and serve Allah fought back Against the Americans and the Zionists From the scourge of secularism and the lands of unbelief Sorry Real tone shift there Real tone shift
Starting point is 00:35:31 Like why they they say I mean I know why they put in the line about Zionists But like that's such a weird It's not normally what you would see in the first 20 seconds Of an action movie trailer It's just so specific and so clear like we hate when people use the word Zionist and we're just going to make it do this sorry roll it back because I do think that transition was really really
Starting point is 00:35:51 masterful and I want to get I want to get in the mood for this romp the Americans and the Zionists from the scourge of secularism and the lands of unbelief you're going to listen to Captain Saunders tomorrow the retired Delta 4 soldier with a new book out he's the polar officer those brain dead protesters Given the current climate, should please Saunders even be allowed on campus. Mr. Saunders is a close personal friend of Chancellor Friedman. This is a decision I cannot fly. There are three ways Islam will conquer the West.
Starting point is 00:36:31 Through immigration, through the wounds of our women. And by using our nation's freedoms against us. Are you paying attention? Kind of. The previous trailer for this, movie, if you remember it, posited a weird world where Sharia law had been instituted at a liberal university and had existed for some time. What this shows that the movie is really about is just about a terrorist attack at a college and a controversial speaker. They put all of their stuff into all
Starting point is 00:37:19 They cram this. It's so like... Yeah, the controversial ex-delta force, whatever. He's going to have to suit up and beat them back. So it's really just the America versus Muslim terrorists movie from 30 years ago on a college campus with a bunch of the Daily Wire propaganda interspersed. Not that original thing.
Starting point is 00:37:44 No, it's very weird that they implied the movie was about something entirely. different, which also stupid. I don't want to watch that movie either. Maybe it's just for one night only. They institute Sharia law and the rest of the year or reverse. And this is on one of the other days. Yeah. Also just I, the line about the through our women's wombs is just like they can't,
Starting point is 00:38:09 they can't stop thinking about it. It's all they think about. They just think about being like cucked constantly. It's just like it's just like it's. so weird they put it in everything and they're just like and they bring it as like we're protective of our women and stuff but like yeah
Starting point is 00:38:26 yeah whoever the villain is in the movie the producers like so are they cucking us is the is the villain of this film cucking us no it's just a like a liberal arts professor who's really annoying they're like maybe in the movie he can try to he can have sex with my wife
Starting point is 00:38:43 I don't I don't know if you want if you think that makes it worse like very villainous to have sex with my wife Yeah, like we wouldn't want that. It would be like, I'd be so fearful of that. I'd be so fearful. I'd be so fearful of somebody who showed up and I'd suck to my wife and like stare at me while they did it. That's what every movie is about.
Starting point is 00:39:00 It's like, you know, these filmmakers just return to their same themes over and over again. That's yours daily life. This is it. This is what you're doing. This, I mean, this trend. Like, it's. It happens in lady ballers where Jeremy Boring's ex-wife is sleeping with hippie Matt Walsh. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:39:19 Which is the worst thing that could possibly happen is sleeping with some hippie. With some nice guy. Yeah, it's like all they think about is they put it in everything. It's just they can't. And like there is just like this radiated divorce energy just like emanating from everything constantly. I'm sure Elon will love this movie and empathize with the, I don't know, that one student who thinks of protesters are stupid or something like that. Yeah. They just say the thing.
Starting point is 00:39:47 They got to make a lot more sense. than these protesters out here who don't know anything. Like, because I feel like also these, like, Ben Shapiro didn't write this movie. Somebody else did. And they got, like, there are people who do make movies and write stuff, you know, maybe not great stuff, but stuff. And so the fact that it's got all of these so, like, ham-fisted, stilted, just, like, so forced in ideological lines that's like,
Starting point is 00:40:17 if you go to the front page of the day, Wire, here's what you would think that we think, and we're going to put it in this movie. We're making real movies now, but all the dialogue is from a conservative podcast. Does that sound fun for you? Like, it's just, like, so lazy and, like, I'm just wondering, was this in the script and just the writer is bad, or were they like, we got to make sure that all this stuff is in the movie? Like, how hands on was the Daily Wire? Or did they let them go and just movies are shit now. It's got to be part of the directive.
Starting point is 00:40:52 No, it has to be part of it. Like, here are the things you should slip in and just make sure characters say. They're probably also given the same Netflix advice. Like, make sure they say it because people, if you look at their phones while they're playing this shitty movie that they're not actually watching. Yeah, I mean, in the trailer earlier when she's like, oh, this guy, he's coming to campus. Are you going to watch him? And she's like, oh, he wrote this book. He's retired.
Starting point is 00:41:12 He's doing this. Like, it's everything. The ex-Delta Force Marine who has got a new book out. His name is this. And it's just like, you've got to do a second draft. You got to, oh my God. So just like this, it's just so funny. Like, we talk about it a lot of thought.
Starting point is 00:41:29 Obviously, they're not like good at this. And like, it's such a waste of fucking money. And the only people they're propagandizing to that'll have an effect is people who already fucking hate like these people and are fearful of everything anyway. You're just making other people worse. You're not like, whatever. But it's all. also just so funny that they can't even do a good version of it. Like they, they're like, oh, Hollywood sucks these days because of wokeness.
Starting point is 00:41:58 No, Hollywood kind of sucks for a lot of reasons. And one of them is this bad dialogue where you have to make sure that everybody knows what's going on at every second of the day. So like they're doing all the bad Hollywood stuff too. In addition to this is obvious propaganda and not good or entertaining anyway. Yeah, they're going back. They want to go back to the 90s when the villains and the action. movies were all like
Starting point is 00:42:20 Islamic fundamentalist terrorists. But like true lies doesn't have dialogue like this. No. I mean it's kind of goofy. It does have it does have a guy going on a monologue about why blah blah blah. Oh yeah. Oh it's been
Starting point is 00:42:37 a while you're right. I'm sure I would true lies is such a good movie but I'm sure I would cringe at some of that stuff today obviously. But like executive decision doesn't have this stuff where they're just like laying out, like we're fighting back against the secular Zionists or whatever.
Starting point is 00:42:54 So, you know, we hate our liberal professors. Yeah. And the protesters. And you know what? The mainstream media we should also mention. And it is definitely a reporter in this. God, yes. Oh, God, yes.
Starting point is 00:43:09 I would, Matt Walsh doesn't play that role. But I don't think they're putting him in the movies anymore. No. All their enemies are here, though. And before, I guess we were going to go on, but I have to also mention, speaking of Matt Walsh, I think this really speaks, just like really gets to the core of it. Matt Walsh shared this trailer when the trailer was posted. I'm going to read his tweet.
Starting point is 00:43:31 Here's the trailer for Run, Hide, Fight, Infidels. The Wright needs more movies. It's good that Daily Wire is making them. Check it out. Oof. He's upset that he's not the ex-Delta Force guy. He might be upset. He's not it.
Starting point is 00:43:46 I think he just knows that it's bad because Matt Wall is also one of the only people on the right for all of his faults of which he has many. He's just a fucking fascist dumb prick. But he of all of them is always like, guys, we got to stop doing the culture stuff. We got to stop claiming that kid rocks great. We're not those guys. And it's sad when we do it. And this is just such a perfect example of him being like, well, the movie's out. And we need to have more movies. I'm not going to say it's. good. I'm not going to say I'm excited about it. I'm going to say it exists. It exists. The right needs more movies and here one is. Here is one. It's so good. Because this summer they especially like lost the Odyssey. Spider-Man, I don't even, I haven't seen it. I don't think it's even that woke. It's not culture worry. I don't think. I don't think they've done that really with it. But it's just like a mainstream Spider-Man movie and it's huge toy story. None of the stuff that's like injecting all this shit into it ever is big. No.
Starting point is 00:44:50 And then they they put whatever they think the Odyssey is about on it and are mad that it's big. Should we watch the rest of it? I guess, yeah. The great Satan America. Yeah. Yeah. You are infidels. The bodies of women are not pure and the men's souls are unclean.
Starting point is 00:45:18 A little on the nose, you know? A little extremely on the nose. They couldn't think of a second thing. I had to do pure and unclean. That's not... Purple hair. From what is coming. We have to fight.
Starting point is 00:45:40 I will be rewarded 10,000 times in the next life. When you die, you're nothing. Only one way to find out. No, it's the end of the movie. That's the American way. They just show us the end of the movie. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, that's so.
Starting point is 00:45:54 And then the credits roll, right? It will appear on the sites It will be on the sites It will be on the sites Good because I believe pen dragons on there Not that I've seen a second of that show But
Starting point is 00:46:07 It's out there It's just like God it's so on the nose They don't That person That terrorist guy is not going to be a character Which is kind of what you want in a movie Even if you want to inject all this stuff into it
Starting point is 00:46:21 And have him be the evil Muslim guy Make them a character That has qualities or anything Good villain. If you don't have a good villain, you don't have gotten anything. Unbelievable, these dunces. It's so stupid. Also, like, a quick, quick shot of one of the terrorists seemingly cutting the throat of a purple-haired college student. Because the left, the loony left, is too tolerant. Right.
Starting point is 00:46:50 So it's the comeuppance of the tolerance is what that shot was demonstrating. I almost promise earlier in the movie that purple-haired student is going to be talking about the importance of tolerance or like other ideas or like religious tolerance. Something about maybe she has like a Muslim friend who she defends. But then like his dad is one of the terrorists. I don't know. She is going to go up to that terrorist and say, Maybe we can just make a safe space. I'm going to try not to trigger you.
Starting point is 00:47:24 And then he's going to like cut her throat to prove that that stuff is all woke bullshit. Yes. That is 100% going to happen in the movie. We should write this movie in the next couple of weeks and then see how close we are to the movie that gets released. I mean, they showed most of it there. So I think we could do it. And Jonathan Majors is the star, whatever. Also that, yeah, canceling and so on and so forth.
Starting point is 00:47:47 And congratulations. I'm sure that it went. well and he's great in it. I have to point out also sorry. I want to just they're not really good at promoting their films. In the tweet of Ben Shapiro shared, the threat of radical Islam is real. Hollywood has refused to tell that story for three decades. It's so funny. They literally are just like, make true lies again, but worse. Yeah, make true lies again. Why aren't they villains anymore? So funny. No one, make true lies, but put nobody charming in it. Make it not about. anything except your stupid grievance bullshit.
Starting point is 00:48:24 Make them tell you directly to the camera who characters are and what they're doing and why they're there. And so, okay, so I think that's funny, but then the tweet continues. Now we're saying the thing. Terrible tweet. Hollywood has refused to tell that story for three decades. Now we're saying the thing with a very millennial of you, Ben. God, terrible tweet.
Starting point is 00:48:44 Now, I'm going to get through this, I promise. Now we're saying the thing with the biggest. most audacious, funniest and most kick-ass film Daily Wire has ever released. Here's the trailer. And I just think it's so funny that he's saying, this is the funniest movie we've ever made. It's an action film. You've made a comedy already. You don't think Lady Ballers is funnier than your terrorist action film?
Starting point is 00:49:14 I mean, the music, the tonal shift, did lead me to believe that the rest of the trailer would have some like edgy jokes in it. Levity of some kind. It doesn't. No, they didn't do an edgy joke. They just tonally told you it's like the beginning of cabin in the woods folks. It's just friends hanging out joking with each other. But they don't joke.
Starting point is 00:49:39 They just describe a speaker that's coming to their school who wrote a book. Everyone's talking about this controversial speaker. And he's controversial because he hates Islam, I believe is the, unless he's... I think that's a thing. But also it implies that he's friends with somebody. He's like, he's friends with this person, which, again, is this right-wing grievance of, like, the guilt by association stuff. Like, like, ostensibly saying, oh, he's, he's friends with Nick Fuentes or whatever is what's going on in that part of the movie, because they have to put every single thing in the movie. Otherwise, why are they making a movie? If not to lazily propagandized to you.
Starting point is 00:50:17 I would still hate all the stupid stuff and all the propaganda in the movie. movie, but if they had just picked two of them, because they've got D stories, E stories, F stories that they have to, or just like inject little things that have nothing to do with the movie. They have to have lines. It's almost like, well, that just happened, except it's like, well, this thing that, like, the thing we cared about on Twitter 18 months ago, yeah. Well, the Chad, the squirrel or whatever, I don't know if we were.
Starting point is 00:50:45 Oh, right, the squirrel thing. Maybe they have that in there, who knows? There's going to be some, a kid at a fratars. party is going to be drinking from a bud light can that has a trans person on it and he'll crush it or whatever this movie has nothing to do with that but that'll be in there you got to put that in otherwise again otherwise why are we making a movie and it's just the that approach the trailer just says it all just like that approach is just not going to stick it's not going to get people in the seats not that they are in the theaters obviously but like no just
Starting point is 00:51:20 Go to just like read a, just read a one daily wire article and you'll see this movie. You'll see all the things. No, this movie was meant to be played on Ben's wife's phone while she goes to sleep. She doesn't finish it. And then the next day, it was really good, baby. You did a good job. Yeah. Look at that.
Starting point is 00:51:42 Executive producer, Ben Shapiro, just like you always wanted. Just like you always want it. Just like you always want it. Okay. I'm going to go do my real job now. I'm going to go save some lives. Can you fucking drop the kids off at school? Like a woman, Ben.
Starting point is 00:51:57 It strikes me sometimes how close my life is to Ben Shapiro's, minus the millions of dollars. But like, hey, we'll get you there. My wife is a public school teacher. My wife has a real job. She goes to work every day. She goes, okay, honey, see you later. I'm off to go like do some stuff.
Starting point is 00:52:17 You have fun. Fun. You're going to make fun of a movie trailer today. good job you're fighting the good fight okay you drop the kid off as okay bye yeah like even this week oh you're fact checking one of the scripts uh today yeah it's about the spider man movie yep this one talks about the end of spider man which it does by the way sometimes i get stressed i'm like i got a lot to do this week we're recording two things to prepare and then i got to go through a script and she's like you're you okay you're fact-checking what a warmbo's vagina looks
Starting point is 00:52:52 like or whatever like it's i got the same thing my partner she's she's she's going school for counseling and she's like reading about grief all the time and just like all these like really really intense cases of people and i'm like another thing about why people are wrong about this movie did you see this tweet from this guy you don't know literally she's like i've not been on twitter today I'm not there. I just not, I just like, I've been logged off. I've been doing real stuff and I'm, and I'm very proud. The point is give us money to make movies, not, Ben Shapiro shouldn't have enough money to make a movie.
Starting point is 00:53:28 He really shouldn't. He really should not. Or, you know what? I take that back. He can have enough money to make a movie because he's done all the things and this is America. But he made some bad movies. So he shouldn't keep getting money to make movies because all of them are. are bad.
Starting point is 00:53:47 Or do it the Mark Duplasway. At least do it down and dirty. Just get out there. Right. Do it over a weekend. Well, they did, which is why they fucking fell out of a window or something because they like cheaped out on the on the stunts or something. Right.
Starting point is 00:54:01 Someone got injured on this. Someone got injured on set. So I guess this is the cheap version. I don't know. Get your tickets now. They should have said September 16th. Cowards. Released it on 9-11.
Starting point is 00:54:14 Fucking cowards. It's true. beforehand to build up something, you know, take advantage of 9-11. Build up the fear, exactly. As you're trying to do with the Mom Donnie thing. You're trying to take advantage of the grief to score some points. Harness that grief and like don't let it go and manipulate it. Maybe redirect it at your enemies and then create fear from that.
Starting point is 00:54:38 Well, we recorded twice as long as we were supposed to. Well, yes. Okay. You know what? Thanks, everybody for watching. Make sure to like and subscribe. Rate us, the comments. Check out the movies.
