Ep. 2400 - SCANDAL: Kristi Noem’s Husband Caught In Cross-Dressing Fetish

The Ben Shapiro Show episode 2400 opens with a sponsor ad for Tecovas boots, followed by a scathing critique of a Supreme Court ruling in Childs v. Salazar, which struck down Colorado's ban on conversion therapy. Shapiro argues the law violated the First Amendment by restricting therapists' speech based on content, especially when it came to gender and sexuality. He praises Justice Gorsuch's majority opinion and mocks Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson's dissent, comparing it to the discredited Buck v. Bell case. The episode then covers a major legal win for The Daily Wire, as the State Department settled a lawsuit over its funding of groups like NewsGuard to discredit conservative media. Shapiro frames this as a critical free speech victory. The centerpiece of the episode is a sensationalized report on Kristi Noem's husband, Brian Noem, allegedly involved in a cross-dressing fetish involving fake breasts and online models. Shapiro uses the story to attack the left's hypocrisy, arguing that if Brian Noem had claimed his fetish as a core identity, the left would have celebrated him. He contrasts the right's moral language with the left's consent-only framework, claiming the latter lacks the ability to condemn behavior. The episode concludes with updates on the Iran conflict, gas prices, and a promotional segment for NASA's Artemis II mission, followed by a preview of a new Daily Wire Plus show, 'Be A Man With Me,' featuring Pavel Wydowski's physical challenges with real men in various professions.
