MATT WALSH (HOST): Staying on the COVID end of things here, Daily Wire has this report. Governor Kristi Noem of South Dakota is not backing Republican legislation seeking to ban so-called vaccine mandates within the state.

I tell you what, I'm done and have been done for a long time with these Republicans who are too afraid to use their power. What is it you want to do, Kristi? I mean, you don't want to use your power here. You didn't want to use your power over schools to stop them from putting men into women's sports. Just like the Republican governor in Arkansas didn't want to use his power to stop children from being genitally mutilated. So what do you want to use your power – you have it. What do you expect to do?
Well, the answer is, for these Republicans they expect to do nothing. They want to be given the power just so that they have it and then they want to sit there and do nothing and wait until they're out of power and they can start talking again about all the things they would be doing if only they had that power again. That's the game for Republicans. It has been that same game for decades now.
...
No use for these Republicans who have made themselves useless. No use for Kristi Noem. Kristi Noem is a very attractive woman. So, she's got that going for her. As far as I can tell that's the only reason she was ever looked at as some sort of 2024 potential front runner. The hype and everything that she's gotten from conservative media is entirely based on the fact that she's an extremely attractive woman, which she is. But, you know, you put 50 pounds on her and another 20 years, I don't think she gets any of the hype. Because outside of that, she's just your standard, sort of, corporatist establishment Republican who's not interested in doing anything.
