Matt Walsh Appears To Be THROWING SHADE At Ben Shapiro
Daily Wire host Matt Walsh argued that if Israel can't defend itself, it shouldn't exist.
- 16 minutes
First 100 days.
- Trump what do you give him overall?
- First 100 days I give it a C plus.
- C plus C minus.
- C minus.
Those were the gentlemen
over at the Patrick Bet David podcast.
Huge, huge Trump supporters
who are willing to call Trump out when
[00:00:18]
they don't believe he is doing a good job
in keeping true to his promises
and actually delivering for his voters.
So on Tuesday,
the hosts basically gave him poor grades
for his first 100 days in office.
Jake.
Yeah, they did, which is weird
because I was told
[00:00:35]
that they would never break from Trump.
But here they are giving him C minuses.
So that must not be true.
There must be a different reality O right.
No, that actually did happen.
Now guys that doesn't mean that they've
turned on Trump and they're going to tell
everybody to vote for Kamala Harris.
[00:00:52]
They're on the right.
That's not the question.
The question is are they going
to be honest about Trump's downside?
Exactly.
And you know what I want to do stories
like this so I can help people understand.
There is a distinction between the hacks
and those hacks exist.
[00:01:08]
You know, people like Kari Lake
talking about how Trump deserves
an A-plus for his first 100 days.
And then there are people who are honest.
And in this case, you have
the Patrick Bet-david podcast
and members within that podcast, you know,
taking a good hard look
at the first 100 days and speaking truth
[00:01:24]
in regard to what they liked Trump for,
what they wanted Trump to do,
and whether or not Trump is actually
delivering on those promises.
So let's start with Tom Ellsworth and Adam
Sosnik, who actually took issue with
how Trump has been handling the economy.
[00:01:42]
An A minus on the plan,
but a C minus on the execution.
I thought he had too many things
going at once picking on the fed.
Powell.
But I gave the plan an A,
but the execution got messy.
I thought that the first,
I don't know, month was awesome.
[00:01:58]
He was signing all these executive orders.
He's doing his thing.
And then April 2nd Liberation Day, where
he liberated America of like $5 trillion
worth of wealth and nobody saw it coming.
So I don't understand the methodology
for what he was doing with Liberation Day.
[00:02:20]
So the Trump tariffs, I think,
have really served as a breaking point
for the more honest Trump supporters
who really did think that Trump 2.0 would
be as good for the economy as Trump 1.0.
But obviously that has not come
to fruition, at least not yet.
[00:02:37]
In fact, we haven't even really suffered
the the true consequences
of this tariff war yet.
And the La Porte is reporting that pretty
soon they're going to experience it,
experience a very significant decline in,
you know, products coming into the port,
[00:02:55]
which will lead to some real trouble
at grocery stores and real trouble
for American consumers who are looking
to buy certain products that are now going
to be slapped with massive tariffs.
Yes.
So look, I've gone on that show
a couple of times and I've agreed and
disagreed with them on a number of things.
[00:03:12]
So I know that they actually use their
minds and, and they're on the right.
And so we mainly disagree. Right.
But they have internal fights.
They've, you know,
Vinny and Adam big fight on Israel.
There's a lot that,
Adam is more on our side than than
[00:03:28]
the rest, usually, but not on Israel.
Right. Oh, you know why?
Because they're human
and they have different opinions.
Wow. Okay.
So that's like these days you have
to explain that to folks.
Anyway.
But Adam said nobody saw it coming.
Well, let's be fair.
We saw it coming. Right.
So no one believed that Trump would do
the crazy things that he said he would do
[00:03:48]
if they were on the right.
Right.
On the right,
they were like, oh, he's trolling.
He's this, he's that.
He's not really going to do tariffs.
He's actually a brilliant strategist.
And I was like, I don't think so.
I think he's a dumb dumb.
I'm going to just I have to speak
for myself because I didn't see it coming
I didn't I actually thought
that Trump's tariffs on China were smart,
[00:04:07]
targeted and obviously were good enough
for Biden to want to keep in place
and even expand upon?
I thought that Trump was going
to be doing similar things
in his second term, but no.
No, he's totally lost it.
No, I thought he would be unhinged
because I know Trump.
[00:04:23]
He's unhinged. He's not a smart guy.
Never has been, never will be.
He's a child.
I mean, you could tell from the truth.
I mean, guys, we're there's this great man
myth that we were all taught when we were
kids in the American educational system.
Like, George Washington is a great man.
You could never be like George Washington.
[00:04:41]
And on and on with all the great men.
No, they're all human beings. Right?
And they were in a situation, etc..
Now that's why they put Trump
into that category.
- He was president.
- Of the United States.
So even though you're seeing with your
own eyes his true social posts
[00:04:58]
that are cuckoo for Cocoa Puffs, you go,
I know, but great man, he's president.
He must have a different strategy.
No, he doesn't have a different strategy.
He's not bright at all.
So the tariff thing real quick is, in.
The 1890s, you know, we had tariffs
and we had no income tax.
[00:05:16]
So I think we can get rid of
the income tax if we have tariffs.
Brother, that was the 1890s.
And like every rational person knows
that today is not the 1890s.
And you can't apply that old rule.
But Trump is not rational.
Look, the number one thing
that people underestimate about Trump
[00:05:32]
is that how deeply unintelligent he is.
And if you say, oh yeah,
what about the Democrats who lost to him?
I go, yeah, I know. Think about it.
Okay, so let's move on to a different
topic that he received some dings on.
And that has to do with the Epstein files.
[00:05:50]
So in this conversation,
you're going to hear from a guest
that they had on the podcast.
His name or his stage name is Viva Frey.
And, he and Vincent,
seemed to have the same issue in regard
to the lack of Epstein file delivery.
[00:06:07]
Let's watch.
It started off strong
with pardoning the Jan Sixers
and fulfilling a campaign promise to right
that wrong in as much as humanly possible.
You got RFK in and you got RFK and Tulsi
doing their thing, which is fantastic.
On the immigration issue, he's going
hard being stopped by the courts,
[00:06:26]
but going hard nonetheless
and sensitizing America to how serious the
problem is and how compromised
and weaponized the courts are.
Where it gets weak is I'm going to focus
on the Epstein just because, as far
as I'm concerned, it's sort of a that was
a litmus test promise of the campaign,
[00:06:41]
where Pam Bondi illustrating that she's
either over her head unqualified, or
there's something more sinister going on,
making bold and big promises
and then fumbling those and leading
to more questions than answers.
I'm with, Viva again.
I still believe, like,
the accountability matters.
[00:06:58]
And if we're going to clean house,
you have to clean all of it.
Why isn't he in a.
Because you just were like, he did this.
He did this.
He did this because.
Why? Is it because.
I'm with him?
When you promise something to me.
And you know, you guys know where I stand
when it comes to children
and what they've done to children.
And you just nailed it.
[00:07:13]
The number one accuser of Epstein,
of Ghislaine Maxwell, of Prince Andrew,
the last one she suicided herself.
To answer viva phrase question.
I think something more
sinister is going on.
Jake. What do you think?
[00:07:29]
Yeah.
Look, I love that they're obsessed
with Epstein files.
Same. Me too.
Yeah, I'm obsessed with it.
Okay, why aren't they releasing it?
And I wonder if they're ever going
to figure out
Trump and RFK Jr are in the files.
[00:07:45]
Gee, I wonder
why they're not releasing it.
That's the suspicion.
Yeah, yeah, I mean, meaning like he's
in they're definitely in his phone book.
No question.
Whether they actually did anything
is a different question.
To be clear.
Thank you for clearing that up.
Right. So I was going to say we'll see.
Actually we probably won't see. Okay.
[00:08:01]
So but people are beginning to wonder,
hey, they claim that that was a suicide
with the video missing and the guards
missing, and the roommate moved out.
Now, no rational person
believes that, right?
So who is powerful enough?
[00:08:17]
What is powerful enough to kill someone
inside a maximum security prison
in America and get away with it?
There is one thing powerful enough.
So now that people are asking those
questions, you got the right wing going.
[00:08:34]
What the hell?
And but there's a second thing
that's really important about that.
And it's and it goes to something
that Vinnie said in passing there.
Right.
Which is wait, if you promised me
something and then you don't do it now,
I'm a little pissed, right?
And think about it, guys.
[00:08:50]
Trump lies like 24 over seven,
but a lot of the right wing
believed that he was not lying,
that he wasn't lying about anything.
Right.
So now when they see that this is
an indisputable lie, they begin to wonder
if there are other lies.
[00:09:05]
Thank you. Yes, yes.
That's Jake, that's such a good point
because this is typically how people
begin to change their minds, right?
They'll catch on to one thing that their
preferred party or their preferred
politician has not been truthful about,
and that will lead to a domino effect.
[00:09:23]
It really does snowball.
And so I give them a lot of credit
for actually wanting to know the truth,
for being grounded in reality.
I might not agree with them
in regard to wanting Trump
to carry out the promises that he made.
Certainly not all the promises he made.
I don't agree with them, but they wanted
those promises to be kept, and they're
[00:09:41]
willing to ding the Trump administration
and Trump himself if he's not delivering.
Last but not least, here's Patrick bet
David himself the big dog who criticized
Trump for making such big promises
and failing to deliver.
When you go purely with results,
we were told day one, there's going
to be peace with Russia and Ukraine.
[00:09:57]
It's day 100. There's no peace there.
- It's worse.
- There fighting.
There's.
Of course, I thought there was going
to be a deal being done there.
I thought the deal was going to be done.
It's taken too long.
The negotiation
with Greenland, we needed that.
Or we needed Ukraine, or we needed
something with minerals not done.
[00:10:13]
Panama was supposed to close.
Hasn't closed yet.
Is America safer than ever before
in the last four years?
Absolutely. It's safer border.
People are not coming across.
Tom Holland is doing his job there.
No problem. You got Epstein's stuff.
People that voted that wanted Epstein.
What happened with that?
It's not out there.
Are we supposed to forget about it?
[00:10:29]
Fauci?
Is there going to be accountability
with Fauci?
We don't know yet.
The trade war
on how chaotic it is right now.
Someone's got to close the deal.
Whoever it is.
You threat Iran if you do this,
if you do this, I'm telling you, Hamas,
if you do this, I don't want
to see my president keep threatening.
Would I be able to deliver on the threats?
[00:10:46]
The more and more you keep saying
threat, threat, threat, threat, threat.
And nothing's happening.
What are we looking at?
Now, look, I don't know
if Patrick Bet-david
wants the US to go to war with Iran.
I definitely do not want that.
And if Trump is making those threats,
I do not want him
[00:11:02]
to make good on those threats.
But I would like him
to stop making those threats.
Yeah, yeah.
I mean, if you claim to be anti-war,
you certainly wouldn't want a war
with Iran four times the size of a rack.
Right?
So and if you think Trump's bungled it
so far and you're sitting at a C minus,
wait till you see the grade he gets
after he starts a war with Iran.
[00:11:20]
But to be fair, he has not done that yet.
And in fact, Netanyahu Netanyahu
asked him to and he said no.
And to be fair, look, the same kind
of dominoes is at the very, very beginning
of happening on the Democratic side,
where they were told the Democratic
leadership was God's gift to humanity,
[00:11:37]
and they were just all angels,
and they were going to do
all these amazing things for you.
And then they found out that Joe Biden
might be in mental decline in their mind.
Might. Right.
And so then they some Democratic voters
have now started to go, wait, if they're
[00:11:52]
lying, if they were lying about that,
and that one was just outrageous,
were they lying about other things?
Yes.
They were lying about other things too.
So now to Patrick. Bet David.
So he's calling out two things there.
And then there's
the real his real concern.
Right.
You told me all this day
one nonsense right before MAGA would let
[00:12:11]
him get away with all that nonsense.
Well, he said day one, but of course
he meant day thousand or never.
That's okay.
It's trolling. It's having fun.
Yeah, right. And.
Oh, you guys don't take him seriously.
He's owning you, right?
Now all of a sudden they're like,
well, brother, you did say day one.
And here we are at day 100. Okay.
[00:12:27]
Number two is the bluffs.
The nonstop bluffs. Right.
- Whether it's war or tariffs.
- Oh, yeah.
China's going to do this and Iran's going
to do that, and I'm going to get them.
But we all know you're bluffing.
And so but what's worse is if you're
not bluffing and then you do something
really dangerous and stupid,
like, hey, be measured, brother,
[00:12:44]
be measured, be president.
Right. And he doesn't have that capacity.
And then finally, the thing.
Here's what Pbd is interested in money.
Okay, so I'm not saying anything
that he doesn't care about policy.
I'm not trying to, you know, you know,
get on his case about anything.
[00:13:00]
There's a thousand things
we disagree on, right?
But he's not unaware
of where his interests lie.
Right.
So he told the big long story
in that segment about how, you know,
the stock market cost him
costs a tremendous amount of money, but he
doesn't care because he's long on America.
[00:13:17]
So I believe him that he thinks,
no, it's okay.
The stock market will recover.
I'm not going to panic.
I believe him on that. Right.
Do I believe him that he doesn't care?
No, I do not believe him.
Okay? I believe he cares deeply.
And I believe Dave Portnoy cares deeply.
I believe a lot of these guys
who lost millions of dollars care deeply.
[00:13:36]
And that's why they're saying,
where's the results?
And here's the thing.
I don't agree with David
on tax cuts, right?
I don't want another $5 trillion
in tax cuts to corporations
and the richest people in the world.
He does. Right.
He's like, wait, we were supposed
to make money off of this, and now
[00:13:51]
you're telling me I'm losing money?
Yeah, but when does it come back around
to me making money and and America
being better off and all of that?
Right. And so far hadn't happened yet.
They're going to wait.
Let's see how long they wait before that C
minus you know, either gets solidified
[00:14:07]
or maybe goes down every time you ring
the bell below, an angel gets its wings.
Totally not true.
But it does keep you updated
on our live shows.
