From Amazon, MGM Studios comes Melania. Every protocol, every precaution, every move coordinated. This new film takes you inside the 20 days leading up to the 2025 presidential inauguration through the eyes of the First Lady herself. The briefings, the planning, the private conversations witness what it takes to secure her return to one of the world's most powerful roles, Melania, only in theaters January 30th.
Gavin Newsom 0:23
Gavin Newsom just tweeted something out about me that's hilarious. Really? You think J.D.
Matt Walsh 0:27
would mog Gavin Newsom? Yes, I do think he would mog him. I'm really enjoying Neocon, Matt Walsh. I have also been lusting after Greenland my whole life. I don't buy that.
Gavin Newsom 0:35
Oh, come on.
Matt Walsh 0:36
I know it's uncouth to say it, but like, am I wrong?
Gavin Newsom 0:38
For Media Matters, he's joking. It's not true.
Unknown 0:41
He's not joking.
Ben Shapiro 0:49
Matt, first time that Matt wants to talk foreign policy, so I'm like... I'm all ears, man. Let's do it. I mean, no, don't put it all on me. It's more for you guys to talk about. Normally we mention any place that is outside the United States, and I can see Matt's eyes glaze over.
Matt Walsh 1:06
Greenland is the only country outside the U.S. that I care about.
Ben Shapiro 1:09
And it's about to be inside the U.S. Yeah, exactly. I just love that we have as a listed topic the slave trade.
Drew Hernandez 1:15
Yeah, no, I'm hoping we can all do that.
Ben Shapiro 1:18
Matt is going to take the Aristotelian pro position.
Drew Hernandez 1:20
That's funny because you said that. I was thinking about Aristotle, too.
Michael Knowles 1:26
Will Gavin Newsom be the next president? Daily Wire's very own Ben Shapiro just became Paul Allen sitting down with the Patrick Bateman of California. We will hear all of the juicy details. Then Matt, I believe, is calling for a civil rights movement for white people as he releases his new mini documentary on the slave trade. What is a slave? No, I don't think it's called that. Anyway, he's going to be given the history on that. And then we will be going all the way into Greenland. I don't think it's coincidental. Denmark has said that they will not sell Greenland to the United States. Then France came out and they said the French military will defend you. And then immediately Denmark said, OK, listen, we'll make a deal.
Michael Knowles 2:05
So we will get into all of those things on Friendly Fire. Gentlemen, wonderful to be with all of you. Happy New Year and Merry Christmas. Christmas is still on until February 2nd, as far as I'm concerned.
Ben Shapiro 2:16
Wow. I didn't realize it lasts that long, Michael.
Michael Knowles 2:19
Why?
Drew Hernandez 2:19
Yeah, I go right through to Lent myself.
Michael Knowles 2:22
I actually, I count Christmas as lasting through until the next Advent. So I've still got all the decorations up in my set. It's amazing. I haven't seen you guys in a little while. And Ben, you were just over with Mr. Slimy himself.
Ben Shapiro 2:34
I was with Gavin Newsom at the governor's mansion in California, which, by the way, is very tiny. It is the tiniest governor's mansion. It is a very, very small building in Sacramento. You have to brush thousands of homeless people out of your way just to just to get to it. But, you know, it was it was it was definitely an interesting experience. I had a little bit of time off camera with Gavin Newsom. I'd met him briefly before. And like most politicians, he's very good in person. I will say that just as a class of people, politicians in person way better than politicians on camera, just generally speaking. And we all know a bunch of politicians. And I think that this is the general rule about literally all of them.
Ben Shapiro 3:11
So off camera, he's very friendly. He's very garrulous. He will kind of get a little more honest with you than he might in terms of his positions on camera. And then I was out there because he had invited me to come on his podcast. That's a podcast where he has, I guess, once every couple weeks, I believe. Usually it's somebody of the left. Occasionally he'll have somebody of the right. Famously, he had Charlie Kirk on the show. This is back during last summer. And it was about a two-hour show. It was a little bit under two hours.
Michael Knowles 3:38
We covered a lot of ground. Before I get to your epic, sit down with him, because I want to know if he's going to be the next president.
