Today on the Matt Wall Show, Trump's full-scale assault on DEI has begun and it is glorious.
00:00:05.040
Also speaking of DEI, a female cop accidentally shoots a civilian with his own gun.
00:00:09.300
The Canadian politician turns the tables on a news anchor who tries to corner him on gender
00:00:13.060
ideology. And the media, as expected, has been fighting back against Trump's border enforcement
00:00:17.460
operation with images of crying illegal immigrants. So far, it's not having the
00:00:22.280
effect that they intended. We'll talk about all that and more today on the Matt Wall Show.
00:01:02.000

00:01:49.320
For those who are fans of DEI, yesterday will go down in infamy. It was, you might say,
00:01:55.600
the DEI Pearl Harbor. At 5 p.m., all DEI offices within the federal government closed down. Employees
00:02:01.540
were put on leave as the first step towards mass layoffs. The DEI section of every major federal
00:02:07.300
website went offline. The heads of every DEI office in the federal government were rounded up,
00:02:12.220
chained to giant boulders, and tossed into the sea. That last part didn't happen, unfortunately,
00:02:18.080
but a man can dream. Back in reality, however, the Office of Personnel Management sent out a notice
00:02:23.100
to the head of every federal agency instructing them to ask employees, quote, if they know of any
00:02:27.720
efforts to disguise DEI programs or personnel in the federal government. Employees have 10 days to
00:02:33.800
disclose any disguised DEI programs or personnel that they're aware of. And almost immediately,
00:02:38.340
one of these disguises became pretty apparent. It was visible to anyone who checked out the
00:02:42.600
leadership page of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives, or ATF.
00:02:47.580
Specifically, there was an unusual change to the title of one senior official at the ATF. Here's how
00:02:53.980
the Bureau's leadership page looked at the beginning of the week. You can see it there.
00:02:58.600
And as you can see, there's a woman named Lisa T. Boykin, who's listed as the chief diversity
00:03:02.780
officer at the ATF. Now, why does the ATF need a chief diversity officer? What was this person
00:03:07.820
doing every day? Well, who knows? She was collecting a paycheck, at least. We know that.
00:03:13.340
And now that's supposed to change. But the only change the ATF actually made
00:03:16.840
was in the meaningless title they gave this person. So sometime in the last 48 hours,
00:03:21.840
the page changed. And here's what the ATF's leadership page looks like now. Now, Lisa Boykin
00:03:28.240
is merely a, quote, senior executive. She's no longer the chief diversity officer.
00:03:35.460
Overnight, she has been graced with a much more generic and inconspicuous title. There was no
00:03:41.680
press release about it. There was no explanation. They just changed it. Check back tomorrow,
00:03:47.200
the ATF will probably put fake glasses and a mustache on Lisa Boykin and claim her name is really
00:03:52.320
Larry Soykin or something. So these DEI activists aren't completely out of ideas, but very soon
00:03:58.440
they will be completely out of the federal government. At least that's the plan.
00:04:02.440
As recently as a few months ago, a purge like this seemed pretty difficult to imagine. And it was
00:04:08.660
particularly hard for people on the left to imagine. When we filmed Am I Racist, the DEI activists we
00:04:15.080
spoke to from Robin DiAngelo on down were overconfident to the point of absurdity. It's one of the reasons
00:04:21.400
we were able to make the film. People always ask how we managed to get the race hustlers and DEI
00:04:25.380
scammers in the room with us. Well, the answer is that we use their own egos and their false sense
00:04:29.980
of security against them. They just couldn't imagine that anyone would ever challenge them
00:04:34.000
or try to embarrass them because that's the bubble that they were living in. And now it's safe to say
00:04:39.260
that that bubble has been pretty well popped. Now, in fact, their entire industry is crashing down
00:04:46.420
and not just in the government. The executive orders that Donald Trump has signed are broader
00:04:50.720
than that. One of the orders, for example, is entitled Ending Illegal Discrimination and
00:04:55.700
Restoring Merit-Based Opportunity. And this order explicitly applies to DEI in the private sector
00:05:01.280
as well. Quote, I further order all agencies to enforce our longstanding civil rights laws
00:05:06.100
and to combat illegal private sector DEI preferences, mandates, policies, programs, and activities.
00:05:12.200
Each agency shall identify up to nine potential civil compliance investigations of publicly traded
00:05:17.560
corporations, large nonprofit corporations or associations, foundations with assets of $500
00:05:22.640
million or more, state and local bar and medical associations, institutions of higher education
00:05:27.220
with endowments over $1 billion. In other words, the federal government is gearing up to launch
00:05:33.720
investigations into private sector entities, whether they're universities or hospitals or corporations
00:05:40.060
that are engaging in discriminatory DEI practices. According to the order, that includes any organization
00:05:47.640
that employs, quote, dangerous demeaning and immoral race and sex-based preferences. The order goes on to
00:05:53.880
revoke an executive order signed by President Lyndon Johnson, which required that federal contractors and
00:05:59.040
the federal government take affirmative action to boost certain candidates based on race, color,
00:06:05.760
religion, and national origin. This has been the law of the land for generations, and no Republican
00:06:12.620
president until now has even considered the possibility of ending. But this time around, the second Trump
00:06:19.740
administration came prepared. It's one of the very first things they got rid of. And the importance of
00:06:26.180
the decision cannot be overstated. I mean, for decades, the requirement that federal contractors practice
00:06:31.320
affirmative action has forced companies to compare their workforce with the demographic composition
00:06:36.460
of the surrounding community. And then they had to alter their hiring practices to try to find more
00:06:41.220
so-called minority candidates, regardless of whether those people were the most qualified.
00:06:45.760
And it's led to an enormous amount of fraud and waste and inefficiency. And that's not even getting
00:06:51.980
into how unethical and immoral and unconstitutional it was. But that's all gone now, or at least it's
00:07:00.920
supposed to be at the federal level. Trump's order forbids the federal government from, quote,
00:07:05.880
allowing or encouraging federal contractors and subcontractors to engage in workforce balancing
00:07:10.780
based on race, color, sex, sexual preference, religion, or national origin. On top of that,
00:07:16.580
all federal agencies have to require every grant recipient to, quote,
00:07:19.600
certify that it does not operate any programs promoting DEI that violate any applicable federal
00:07:25.580
anti-discrimination laws. Within 120 days, the attorney general will also outline requirements
00:07:30.860
for colleges and universities concerning their own DEI programs. So this is obviously a sweeping
00:07:38.020
order, one that affects hundreds of billions of dollars in government spending. And it's very bad
00:07:44.520
news for universities like Harvard and other bastions of left-wing orthodoxy. It's the kind of order that
00:07:49.440
you'd expect would lead to, you know, a lot of wailing and gnashing of teeth on the left.
00:07:56.280
And certainly that is happening to some extent. But there's also been kind of an interesting wrinkle
00:08:02.180
amid all of this. And it is early. It's still early. This is all just happening.
00:08:07.040
There might be some amount of shell shock on the left as well. I'm sure that's true. But
00:08:10.700
Christopher Foe reported something interesting yesterday. He reported this.
00:08:14.320
Tech executives are telling me that Silicon Valley companies will respect President Trump's ban of
00:08:20.400
discriminatory DEI. Many feel relieved that they don't have to pretend anymore. Resistance here is
00:08:27.420
basically dead. And I was quoting his source within one of these tech companies. So in other words,
00:08:32.940
according to Rufo's reporting, these executives were, you know, experiencing a kind of Stockholm syndrome
00:08:39.520
for the past several years. They knew that DEI was destructive to their business. They wanted it to go
00:08:45.320
away, but they felt they had no choice but to endorse it because on top of the legal requirements,
00:08:49.660
they didn't want to upset left-wing activists and the corporate media. They lacked the spine to stand up
00:08:56.080
for their own business interests. And they felt trapped. So they just went along with it. And this may sound
00:09:01.940
like convenient excuse making. But it may sound like, well, the claim is that these people were
00:09:12.700
victims. That's not the case at all. It's not an excuse, but the scenario here sounds very plausible.
00:09:19.100
After all, tech companies care the most about making money. I mean, you don't become a tech billionaire
00:09:26.300
without understanding how to turn a profit and without prioritizing profits. And DEI is obviously
00:09:32.820
and self-evidently bad for business because it forces you to hire people who are not qualified
00:09:37.320
for the job. It actually makes perfect sense that these companies would be relieved to be done with
00:09:42.340
it. But it's not an excuse. I mean, if anything, it just makes them look worse. DEI proliferated not
00:09:49.300
because all these companies believed in it, but because they were all cowards who didn't have the
00:09:53.160
gumption to speak out, even for the sake of their own economic self-preservation.
00:09:58.580
It would be better for them, I think. It'd make them look better if they actually believed in this
00:10:03.960
stuff and now are having some kind of awakening moment. But the truth is, they knew it was nonsense
00:10:08.680
the whole time. And they just did it anyway. So it's worth asking whether that response applies
00:10:17.600
to the left more broadly. I mean, one of the most fascinating things about Trump's full-scale
00:10:23.480
assault on gender ideology and DEI in government is the relative lack of left-wing hysteria over it.
00:10:32.120
Certainly, there has been plenty of whining and scolding about it. But we haven't seen protests in the
00:10:40.020
street or widespread panic. The outrage from my vantage point hasn't quite reached the fever pitch
00:10:47.160
that you would have expected, that I expected. I mean, even the media, from what I can tell,
00:10:52.360
seems to be relatively muted by their standards in their reaction. So here, for example, is a
00:10:58.060
decidedly kind of low-energy segment from MSNBC the other day. You'd think they'd be grabbing their
00:11:05.200
pitchforks because of the return of fascism in America. But instead, this is what they came up
00:11:11.640
with. Watch. Can we just drill down on this DEI initiatives piece for a moment? Because there's
00:11:17.620
research that shows diversity is a strength that makes organizations stronger, whether federal or
00:11:22.660
private. So what's the argument behind the scenes for getting rid of the DEI initiatives? Is it just
00:11:28.060
for getting rid of woke? Yeah, I think that that, frankly, is the argument. I mean, I think that you
00:11:33.180
know, as well as I do, that there are a few things that President Trump said in those rallies more
00:11:39.480
than that he would get rid of the woke ideology and he would get rid of DEI practices and instead
00:11:44.400
put back what they call meritocracy type style governments, where people are, where basically
00:11:50.020
it's race blind, right? People are promoted by their own merits, they say. And so they believe that
00:11:56.080
this is a fulfillment of those promises that Trump made on the stage. Okay, so they certainly don't
00:12:01.680
approve of Trump's policies, but you wouldn't call that a hysterical meltdown exactly. The anchor
00:12:07.760
cites that fake McKinsey study about how DEI supposedly improves companies, which we talked
00:12:12.700
about and debunked many times before. Then the reporter says conservatives want to take us back
00:12:17.140
to colorblind, merit-driven society, as if that's a bad thing. But it is, again, a bit low energy.
00:12:24.360
I mean, you contrast that with the hysteria in the days after Trump's first inauguration,
00:12:29.120
there's really no comparison. Back then, everything Trump did was part of a Russian
00:12:32.840
plot to destroy American democracy. Everything was a cause for panic. Everything was a five-alarm
00:12:37.340
fire. And yet this has been kind of the response to most of Trump's executive orders, from his order
00:12:44.300
ending DEI at the FAA to his order declaring that, indeed, there are only two genders and that gender
00:12:49.920
ideology is dead. This is the most far-reaching executive assault on left-wing ideology ever
00:12:58.620
launched by any president ever. There's not even a close second. We've never seen anything like this,
00:13:05.820
even from Trump in his first term. Truly unprecedented. And yet the left's reaction hasn't
00:13:11.640
matched the moment exactly, especially by, again, their normal standards of hysteria.
00:13:19.000
Why is that? It's worth asking. Now, there are multiple facets to this. The lack of mass protests
00:13:26.220
in the street may be easy enough to explain. It's very cold outside. And we know that left-wing
00:13:32.000
activists are dedicated to their causes, as long as that dedication doesn't require them to endure
00:13:37.020
even the slightest bit of physical discomfort. Also, you probably have to pay the protesters more
00:13:42.660
than their usual rate, given the weather conditions. And maybe it's just more than George Soros is
00:13:46.640
willing to shell out. But that's probably part of it. But that's not the whole story.
00:13:51.340
There's also, as we discussed this week, a kind of emotional burnout happening.
00:13:56.260
The left has been screaming hysterically about Trump for 10 years. And it's just not possible to
00:14:00.240
keep up that level of performative outrage indefinitely. Eventually, you lose a bit of steam.
00:14:06.140
And on top of that, the left is in organizational and ideological disarray. They have no clear
00:14:11.140
leader, no clear agenda, no clear political identity. And all of that serves to mute the
00:14:16.580
response to these moves by Trump. But on top of all of those factors, I also have to wonder if at least
00:14:25.580
some on the left are maybe, to some extent, even if subconsciously, sort of relieved to be done
00:14:34.740
with DEI and gender ideology and all the rest. I mean, after all, these things are so absurd on
00:14:41.540
their face that almost no one could have ever really, truly believed in them. I mean, almost
00:14:45.920
no one wants to be, actually wants to be in the position of having to defend some cross-dressing
00:14:52.300
man who's crying because he can't disrobe in the women's changing room.
00:14:56.300
Like, that's not a guy that almost anyone actually wants to stand in front of and defend. Almost no
00:15:03.100
one actually thinks it's a good idea to, for example, prioritize diversity in air traffic control
00:15:09.020
hiring. DEI and gender ideology require a suspension of basic common sense that is so extreme that few
00:15:17.540
people could ever achieve it. And everyone else was just pretending. We have suffered through an era
00:15:24.780
in American history that is defined by millions of people pretending to believe the most absurd
00:15:32.000
propositions ever put forward. And now that the cultural tide has changed, the pressure to pretend
00:15:39.680
has been greatly lifted. The true believers in DEI and gender ideology now are looking around
00:15:45.140
and discovering that they are without allies. Trans activists and DEI race hustlers were holding,
00:15:52.540
you know, a lot of people hostage. But the right's political and cultural victories have taken away
00:15:58.060
their ammunition, and it's just hard to keep your hostages in line when they find out that your gun
00:16:02.720
has no bullets. So in other words, for some who ostensibly appear to be on the left on these issues,
00:16:09.220
we are their liberators. That's just one. That's one theory that may explain one aspect of things.
00:16:17.820
And I believe there's an element of this, at least for some on the left. I certainly think it's the
00:16:22.240
case for business owners and corporate America. But regardless, all that said, one thing we know for
00:16:29.960
sure is that this somewhat eerie lull, it's not going to last. The true believers, and there are
00:16:37.360
plenty of them out there, along with the powers that be on the left, are not going to abandon
00:16:44.200
their agenda. They're not going to surrender to the right and just call it a day and say,
00:16:48.120
never mind. Well, forget all of it. They're going to regroup and probably come back eventually with
00:16:54.740
something even crazier than DEI and gender ideology. That's what we can assume if history
00:16:59.620
is our guide, and it should be. In the meantime, the fact is that pretty much everyone in this
00:17:06.200
country, the vast majority of people, including anyone who flies on a plane, who sends a child
00:17:10.920
to college or applies for a job or a federal contract, is already benefiting from the second
00:17:17.260
Trump administration. Whether they like it or not, they are. This is the swift restoration of
00:17:23.960
insanity that a majority of Americans voted for. Common sense has made a comeback. Team
00:17:29.880
sanity is winning for the moment. But team insanity will be back. And it's up to us to be ready for
00:17:39.660
them. Now let's get to our five headlines. Let's talk about something that affects all of us,
00:17:50.340
those of us who are responsible, hardworking Americans. And that is taxes. Now that it's the
00:17:55.240
new year and tax season is upon us, are you prepared for what's coming? You owe back taxes? Are your tax
00:17:59.980
returns still unfiled? Missed the deadline to file for an extension. With the new year beginning and
00:18:04.240
heading into the busy tax season, the IRS may be ramping up enforcement. Let me tell you, they're not
00:18:09.080
playing around. You can face wage garnishments, frozen bank accounts, or even property seizures if you
00:18:13.580
haven't taken action yet. But here's the good news. There's still hope. Tax Network USA has been in this game
00:18:19.040
for years, and they know exactly how to navigate the complex world of tax law. They've helped
00:18:23.640
taxpayers save over a billion dollars in tax debt and have filed over 10,000 tax returns. That's a

billion with a B, folks. They specialize in helping hardworking Americans like you reduce their tax
00:18:33.480
burdens. Look, I get it. Dealing with the IRS is about as fun as a root canal, but ignoring the problem

00:19:02.820
department in Florida is moving to fire an officer after she accidentally shot a man with his own gun
00:19:08.500
during a routine traffic stop last month. Officer Mindy Cardwell was called to assist with a traffic
00:19:14.580
stop on December 13th in Jacksonville. And this is after Jason Arrington, 39, had been pulled over
00:19:24.120
by an officer for running a red light. Arrington was fully cooperating with all three officers.
00:19:27.900
Body camera shows, informed the cop who originally pulled him over that he did have a gun holster in
00:19:32.380
his waistband. He was told to exit the car. And in fact, rather than describing the rest of this,
00:19:37.440
we have the body cam footage. This picks up this, this incident of December 13th, it picks up
00:19:44.020
with the guy that Arrington already pulled over and, and the, the, the female cop, this is her body
00:19:53.080
cam. She shows up, the guy gets out and we'll see how that plays out. Watch. He's very compliant.
00:20:07.420
So you see there, some, some fine police work, some very fine police work.
00:20:36.660
The, the female cop is tasked with removing the gun from Arrington's holster and in the process
00:20:46.640
shoots him in the leg. And in fact, if you take a look at, if you take a look at this,
00:20:52.440
it's still shot, the still shot 25 seconds in, take a look at this. Now you can see
00:20:57.980
she has two fingers, two fingers inside the trigger guard of the firearm while she's pulling
00:21:05.580
it out of his waistband. I mean, how do you make that mistake? You carry a firearm every day for your
00:21:13.540
job. How do you not just instinctively keep your, your finger off the trigger?
00:21:18.800
How do you end up with not one, but two fingers on the trigger? I mean, it's just,
00:21:24.740
this is firearm safety one-on-one. This is before you even get to one-on-one.
00:21:30.520
My, my, my sons have better trigger discipline with their BB guns than this, this police officer
00:21:36.240
does. It's insane. And meanwhile, the guy, the victim, what makes this so unfortunate is that
00:21:42.780
he did everything right. He pulled over, he cooperated, he informed the officer that he
00:21:49.220
was carrying a weapon, which is what, which is what you're supposed to do. So he follows all the
00:21:54.560
rules and he gets shot anyway with his own gun. And, you know, I'm, I'm the first to say, usually when
00:22:01.000
it comes to cases of alleged police brutality, uh, I'm the first to say that, and I've said many times
00:22:06.400
that if you just cooperate and comply, and if you're a reasonable person and you're reasonable with
00:22:11.300
police officers, you're almost certainly going to be fine. I mean, almost always when someone ends
00:22:16.300
up getting shot or hurt during an interaction with the cops, it's because they went out of their way
00:22:20.560
at every turn to turn the situation into something violent and dangerous when it didn't need to be.
00:22:26.180
But, uh, there are exceptions to every rule and here is the exception. And this is an exception made
00:22:33.480
possible by, of course, a female police officer. And, and look, I know that there are plenty of male
00:22:39.300
police officers who do dumb things and make mistakes, but this is still the kind of thing
00:22:44.060
that you inevitably get when you start bringing women into the force in the name of diversity and
00:22:48.760
inclusion. I mean, this is, like I said, DEI in action. This is what happens. And you can just tell,
00:22:55.440
you can tell in that short clip from the body cam that this woman is very nervous handling the guy's, uh,
00:23:03.740
firearm. So how does a woman who's nervous handling a gun end up on the damn police force of all things?
00:23:11.960
How does a woman who doesn't understand the most basic principles of gun safety
00:23:15.620
end up on the police force? Well, it happens through DEI, which is why the eradication of DEI
00:23:22.660
needs to go far beyond the federal government. I mean, it needs to trickle down to every level of
00:23:26.240
both federal and state and local government and into the private sector, which, which is the plan,
00:23:30.940
like we talked about in the opening. Um, but you know, we need to be done with this madness and,
00:23:36.480
and, um, and you can say, and I know people will say, well, how do you know that she was hired
00:23:40.840
because of DEI? You don't know that. Well, I know because she's a woman who by the department's
00:23:48.560
own admission now is incompetent. She was fired for incompetence.
00:23:51.940
Well, how do incompetent women get jobs like this? They get it through DEI, right? That's how.
00:24:04.680
So it's, it's absurd. I mean, if we're being honest, female cops are absurd. It's an absurdity.
00:24:12.960
I'm sorry. It's just ridiculous. It's cartoonish. You've got cops on the force who can easily be
00:24:18.400
overpowered by like 50% of the population and not just 50% of the population, by the way, like
00:24:25.040
the majority of, of people who end up getting arrested. The majority of people, um, who will
00:24:32.300
go to prison are men. So it's not 50% really. It's with a female cop. That means that the vast
00:24:41.260
majority of the people that she is going to try to arrest during her career can easily overpower
00:24:48.620
easily. Um, and that's why, you know, when, when, I mean, when I have an interaction with
00:24:58.100
the cops, I get pulled over or something doesn't happen very often, but when it does, uh, I I'm
00:25:04.960
only ever a bit nervous if the cop is a woman. And the reason that makes me nervous is because
00:25:11.220
I know that the cop knows because she's a woman that I could easily overpower her if
00:25:17.240
I wanted to. I know that she's aware of that. And, and I'm then worried that this fact is
00:25:24.360
making her worried, even though I'm not doing anything to make it work. Like if that makes
00:25:28.380
her jumpy and if she's jumpy, then stuff like that happens. And even if she's not jumpy, I'm
00:25:34.080
also aware that she's, she's only on the force because they lowered the standards to get her
00:25:38.040
there. So that makes me a bit nervous too. So now you have an interaction where both the
00:25:43.260
officer and the civilian who isn't doing anything wrong are kind of nervous. And that's, that's
00:25:49.360
not what you want. Uh, like nothing bad's going to happen on my end. I'm not going to freak
00:25:54.240
out. I'll comply and be cooperative. So everything's gonna be fine on my end, but I don't know about
00:25:59.960
her end. And as we just saw in that interaction there, the guy complied, he was, did everything
00:26:05.240
right. Ends up with a bullet hole in his leg. Um, and, uh, and now he's going to sue and he's
00:26:13.600
going to probably be a rich man as he should be because of the lawsuit. I don't think suing
00:26:18.560
is either enough. I mean, if any one of us in the course of our jobs accidentally shot
00:26:24.500
someone, we would also go to jail. Like, I think there should be jail time for that. That's, that's
00:26:30.460
not, you don't get a oopsie daisy, you know, on something like that. Um, now as you know, I am,
00:26:39.720
I'm the first to defend police officers when they deserve to be defended, which very often in these
00:26:45.060
kinds of, you know, very often when there's a viral controversy, they do deserve it. And I'll be the
00:26:50.340
first to say that, uh, I give cops a lot of leeway when they're put into these life threatening
00:26:55.960
situations because of what the suspect is doing. The suspect is acting in a way that is threatening.
00:27:02.840
And now all of a sudden the cop is thrust in his life threatening situation. I think we got to give
00:27:06.880
a lot of leeway and, um, and it's easy to Monday morning quarterback after the fact. And, you know,
00:27:14.660
so, so that's when, whatever you have a cop that someone's charging at him with a knife and the cop
00:27:20.980
shoots. And then everyone after the fact says, well, but you could have waited another two seconds
00:27:25.460
before you shot him, but why didn't you shoot him in the leg or something dumb like that?
00:27:30.260
No, in that case, I say that he did what he had to do in that situation. That's that his life is on
00:27:35.140
the line. He's got, he's got seconds to react. That's one thing. But in a case like this,
00:27:40.160
nothing life threatening is happening. Okay. There's no, this, this, this is, this was,
00:27:46.060
this is not a woman who was thrust into a life threatening situation. Uh, it became life
00:27:51.780
threatening for the guy. Cause by the way, she could have hit an artery and killed him.
00:27:57.040
It became life threatening for him because of her incompetence. So, um,
00:28:03.260
this, this is just, we gotta be done with this. Let's move to this. Uh, and look,
00:28:09.800
I've given Canada a hard time recently and it's all in good fun. Um, I mean, I have called for the
00:28:15.880
country to be conquered by force and all of its inhabitants sent to labor camps, but, uh, I never
00:28:21.260
meant that in a bad way. I didn't mean it, nothing personal. I mean it as an insult. So there's no
00:28:27.660
reason for any Canadians to get upset about it. But the truth is that, you know, it's not all bad in
00:28:31.660
Canada and there are some bright spots. And one of them is Pierre Poliev who appeared this week on a
00:28:37.280
Canadian news show and was asked whether as prime minister, he would follow, he would get in line
00:28:43.860
with Trump's executive order when it comes to gender ideology, which is already an incoherent
00:28:49.100
question because as prime minister of Canada, you, I mean, until you actually are conquered by the
00:28:54.860
United States, the executive orders signed by the president don't apply to you. Um, but regardless,
00:29:01.500
he was asked the question, I thought the way he fielded the question was, uh, quite brilliant.
00:29:08.320
First day on the job, president Trump signed an executive order. Uh, you know, the U S government
00:29:13.480
only recognizing two genders, male, female, they're unchangeable. You know, if elected as prime
00:29:18.080
minister, is that something that you're going to kind of walk in line with or what are your feelings
00:29:24.400
Well, I don't know. Do you have any other genders that you'd like to name?
00:29:28.700
Me personally? I'm just asking more. So if you're in line with what he is saying, do you agree with
00:29:37.780
what he's saying? Is that something that you would be lockstep with if elected as prime minister?
00:29:42.480
Well, I, I'm not aware of any other genders than men and women. I mean, if you have any other that
00:29:48.400
you want me to consider, you can, you're welcome to tell me right now.
00:29:51.780
Well, there's, well, there's personally, I am a man. I am a, as people say, cis man. There are,
00:29:57.820
there are people there who, you know, they say they're gender neutral. You're a man. Yes. There
00:30:02.320
are people out there who say they're gender neutral. Uh, they're, you know, they're, they're
00:30:08.360
a trans person. Is that something that you would recognize here? Whereas in the States, at least
00:30:14.460
with their U S government, the way they're seeing it, there's only two.
00:30:18.380
I'm only aware of two, but I mean, if you have, if you come up with another list, then, uh, you're
00:30:26.360
welcome to do that. But I, I'm aware of two. And, um, as far as I'm concerned, we should have a
00:30:31.660
government that just minds its own damn business and leaves people alone.
00:30:35.280
Now, very well done. And, um, as you all know, I, I'm, you know, I've been shouting this from the
00:30:40.940
rooftops forever. This is exactly how these questions should be handled. And I know that Pierre
00:30:46.260
Poliev has been very good at this kind of thing for as long as he's been on the political scene.
00:30:50.720
And this is key. Throw the ball back in their court, make them define their terms, make them
00:30:54.620
answer the basic questions. Uh, and if you do, you'll get hilarious meltdowns like what we just saw,
00:31:00.860
which is, I mean, that moment was something that was something straight out of what is a woman?
00:31:04.360
I mean, that's, uh, I would have been, I would have loved to have a moment like that. That's,
00:31:07.160
that's, you know, that's great, great comedy, just wonderful across the board. Um,
00:31:12.340
and I also agree with his answer, by the way, um, not the anchor, but Pierre Poliev
00:31:17.680
because he says that he, he believes that the government should mind its own business on this
00:31:25.280
issue. And, and I actually agree with him because what does that mean? It means that the government
00:31:31.880
will only officially recognize male and female because that's just simple biological reality.
00:31:36.940
We need to have a government that's rooted in reality. We can't have a government that exists in
00:31:41.200
some kind of fantasy land as we've had for the last four years. So now we see how that worked
00:31:45.180
out. It didn't work out well. So, uh, the government only recognizes what is real and then, and that's
00:31:52.940
it. But in your own private life, if you want to run around telling yourself that you're the opposite
00:31:57.400
sex or whatever, uh, nobody can stop you. In fact, if you want to run around telling other people
00:32:03.480
that you're the opposite sex, I mean, no one can stop you from saying that. I mean, you, you can say
00:32:07.160
that you could say those words. Um, if a man wants to quote unquote identify as a woman in the privacy
00:32:13.980
of his own home, then, you know, there's, there's nothing we could do to stop that. Nor would I be
00:32:17.920
interested in trying to crack down on that, even if it was possible. That's like, fine. That that's,
00:32:24.000
uh, that's your personal life. What you can't do is force anyone on the left, anyone, you know,
00:32:30.260
in society to go along with it. You can't impose it on anyone. You can't require us to cooperate
00:32:37.240
with it or to play into it or to play along with it. Uh, you can't indoctrinate children into it
00:32:44.340
and you can't expect the government to officially recognize or in any way legally codify or respect,
00:32:54.460
So when I say, and I believe this is the case that probably Pierre, probably I would say
00:33:00.120
something similar, but I can't speak for him. But when I say, Hey, you know, that that's your
00:33:07.480
business. I mean, it's specifically in that way. You, it's keep it your business. Don't try to wrap
00:33:14.620
anyone else into it. And if you do that to keep everybody else out of it, well then,
00:33:20.360
what, you know, what can we, what is there for us? There's nothing for us to say,
00:33:25.760
which by the way is one of the reasons. And this is, this is why, you know, when you hear the
00:33:31.100
trans activists, we'll say, well, trans people quote unquote have existed, uh, for, I mean,
00:33:37.480
they'll claim that trans people have existed, trans identified people have existed for thousands
00:33:40.620
of years, which is total nonsense because the concept of quote unquote transgenderism is,
00:33:46.500
is, is a, is a modern phenomenon, but, uh, it has, the concept has existed for decades
00:33:52.460
and for decades, it was basically a non-issue in mainstream culture. It was, it was, we didn't
00:34:01.500
talk about it. We didn't debate it. It didn't come up. There weren't any executive orders about it.
00:34:06.680
It didn't come up during presidential debates. Um, and that's because there, there was not this
00:34:14.740
effort, this collective effort to force society, people in society to go along with it or play
00:34:21.760
along with it or cooperate with it or affirm it. And it was just something that, you know,
00:34:29.300
a very small minority of people. It was, uh, something that they, uh, it was a, a something
00:34:38.660
that they had in their own minds and something that really they struggled with. Uh, and so that
00:34:43.580
was something between them and their, you know, therapists really. Um, it only became an issue,
00:34:51.020
uh, once it was decided that everyone else has to affirm this.
00:34:56.680
And then once you do that, once you go to the, to everybody else and you tell us, we have to
00:35:01.500
affirm it. Okay. Well now it is our business and it's our business because you forced it to be our
00:35:06.520
business. We would very much like to go back to a point where it's not our business anymore.
00:35:12.960
You know, when the left talks about what happens in my bedroom is my business. Yeah. I wish
00:35:18.540
like actually keep it in your bedroom that that's best for all of us. That's what we want.
00:35:26.680
Keep it in your bedroom and then great. Um, let's stay for another moment on the trans issue. ACLU
00:35:36.240
lawyer, Chase Strangio is, um, rather upset about these recent developments that are happening as you
00:35:43.260
would expect. And, uh, Chase Strangio is, as you'll be able to tell here in a moment, a female who
00:35:50.360
identifies as a man, but there's one thing, there's one term used in this clip that's getting some
00:35:57.420
attention. Uh, so listen, instructions in this one executive order, including this directive to HUD
00:36:03.720
to issue, uh, uh, proposed regulations to in essence, exclude trans people from various forms
00:36:09.600
of shelter system under the auspices that a trans person is an inherent threat to non-transgender
00:36:15.760
women. Obviously that just enhances the risk that transgender people face in society. If we are
00:36:20.720
deemed as a threat to others simply by, by existing. Well, a few things, first of all, nobody thinks
00:36:26.800
that trans people quote unquote are a threat simply by existing. Our whole point is that trans is a
00:36:35.160
category error. Uh, you in fact do not exist as the sex you claim, right? You do exist as a person.
00:36:44.360
We acknowledge that. But when a man who identifies as a woman says, Oh, you think I'm a threat to
00:36:51.740
women just because I'm a trans woman? Well, our answer is, is no, no, we're saying is that you're not
00:36:58.420
a woman. And that's our whole point. You're potentially a threat to women because you're a
00:37:03.600
male demanding access to the locker room and men who demand that they be allowed into private spaces
00:37:08.760
with women are rightfully perceived as potential threats. It's got nothing to do with the fact
00:37:12.380
that you call yourself trans. If a man who did not call himself trans did not identify as trans was
00:37:18.120
demanding access to the women's bathroom, that they would be perceived as a threat as well.
00:37:22.720
Like that the point is, is that you're a male is how you perceive yourself is basically irrelevant
00:37:28.320
in that scenario. Um, and second, you notice the phrase that she used, she said non-transgender
00:37:36.780
women, which is interesting because these people had invented the nonsense term cis women and cis men,
00:37:46.640
right? And up until now, that's what they would call a, what is actually just a, a regular woman,
00:37:53.940
a woman, an actual biological woman. But now apparently they've switched over to, um, this
00:37:59.500
new phrase of a non-transgender women. And why do they prefer that term? Well, they prefer it because
00:38:06.920
it goes even farther than the term cis women to make regular real women seem like they're the strange
00:38:16.080
ones. So this is what they're doing. It's an attempt to make real women into just one category
00:38:21.840
of women. And in this case, when you use the term non-transgender women, you've turned actual women
00:38:30.760
into not just one category of women, but you've turned them into a lesser, more obscure category
00:38:37.860
of woman because they're now the nons, right? You have, you have trans women and then you have
00:38:45.680
non-trans women. So now women are defined by their relation to so-called trans women.
00:38:55.060
They're, they are defined by their status of being not trans. So in this world of Chase Strangio,
00:39:04.200
you're either trans or you're not trans. Um, and, uh, and that, so that, that's the,
00:39:13.040
that's the rhetorical move that they're pulling now, which is quite desperate. Um, and we know
00:39:21.280
the trans activists have, they've gotten a lot of mileage out of these language games. I mean,
00:39:25.740
they've gotten, they've gotten, um, they've, uh, this has been their, not just their primary tool,
00:39:36.440
but really their, their only rhetorical tool has been, uh, of course there's emotional blackmail
00:39:41.940
and there's threats and everything else. But when it comes to sort of presenting the argument,
00:39:46.940
their only weapon there is just language games. And, uh, and they've typically been pretty good at
00:39:54.940
staying one step ahead, but they come up with some term and then people don't exactly know what
00:40:03.280
that term even means. And then once people started to understand that term is nonsense,
00:40:07.600
then they just start using a different term. And, you know, they try to stay one step ahead.
00:40:13.200
Uh, and that's what they're doing now. And, um, I don't think it's going to be enough. I don't
00:40:18.260
think it's going to work this time. Let's get to the comment section.
00:40:21.140
Something is horribly wrong. When that person becomes a Bishop, that Bishop is the most blatantly
00:40:35.300
obvious example of someone who has no actual faith and has somehow managed to be put in a
00:40:38.840
position of influence and uses that influence for racist and nefarious purposes. Um,
00:40:43.780
right. I mean, she's, she's almost certainly an atheist. And, uh, I think that we talked yesterday
00:40:51.020
about the Bishop at the prayer service, who's a far left radical. Uh, but yeah, it should also be
00:40:57.920
said along with being a far left radical, and this goes with the territory, she's almost certainly an
00:41:03.260
atheist. And I think we'd be shocked if we could know the actual number of full on atheists who are
00:41:10.720
running churches and leading congregations in this country. I mean, there's no way to know
00:41:15.420
there have actually been done some, some studies on this and there have been different organizations
00:41:19.940
that have, um, I mean, usually like atheist organizations who present this information as
00:41:26.380
a positive, but, um, so there are different claims about this. What, what, what is the actual
00:41:32.140
number? What's the actual number of people who lead churches in any denomination who actually
00:41:37.240
don't even have a faith at all? Uh, well, it's, it's impossible to know what the actual number is,
00:41:41.940
but, um, the proof is in the pudding on this sort of thing. And, uh, and I think we have reason to
00:41:46.820
believe that the number is distressingly high. Um, Matt, don't let anybody put you in a suit and tie
00:41:55.640
for your show. Even the backdrop of this show here is starkly beginning to morph into the same look the
00:42:00.780
mainstream monkeys have. Keep it real. Your content is always on point. Don't let anything change you
00:42:05.400
from real. God bless you, your family and your work. We don't have to worry about that. There's
00:42:09.380
no chance I'll ever start wearing a suit and tie for the show. Um, you know, I know I went on that
00:42:14.360
whole rant against Fetterman because he didn't wear a suit to the inauguration, but the truth is I hate
00:42:19.760
wearing suits, you know, and, and, uh, even more do I hate wearing a tie. It's very, women don't
00:42:25.940
understand. Women complain all the time about all the, the, the unique, uh, challenges and
00:42:31.620
discomforts of being a woman. And I know there are some, but they don't understand some of the
00:42:36.340
stuff that we deal with. One of them is a tie. Okay. We have to wear this thing. It's like we
00:42:40.160
was a noose around our neck. It's literally a noose around our neck. We have to wear anytime we go to
00:42:44.680
something formal to barely breathe. They were partially suffocating the entire time. You don't
00:42:51.080
realize that. Uh, so, but I still recognize that when you go to a formal event, that that's what
00:43:00.780
you wear and I'll, and I'll respect that. So that's, uh, I am saying, I think this gives more
00:43:09.040
force to my, my rebuke of Fetterman that I understand his desire to want to be casual all the
00:43:16.740
time. I get that, but just because you want to be casual and you're more comfortable in casual
00:43:21.500
clothes, uh, it doesn't make it okay. Um, Matt, you're against remote work, but didn't you work
00:43:30.740
remote from your car slash house for many years? I did. Uh, and, uh, this is another time where I
00:43:37.740
think my own personal experiences is actually lend some more weight to my point. Why do you think I'm
00:43:44.500
so against remote work? Yeah, I did it myself and, uh, my, my own experience with it is part of what
00:43:50.140
made me so skeptical of it. And, uh, I can say in my own case that, you know, my, my own, I've seen
00:43:55.860
this in my own, in my own personal experience that my, my own career took a, took really took off when
00:44:01.900
I started working in an office with a team and we were all physically present. And I understand my
00:44:07.500
job is different than other people's jobs, but everyone has their own unique situation. We're all
00:44:11.680
different. I still think there are some basic principles that apply across the board. And, uh,
00:44:17.140
so yeah, it's not, I know there were a lot of angry comments of the remote work conversation.
00:44:25.100
I didn't say that if you are working remote, you're a bad person or you should go to jail or
00:44:29.640
something. Okay. Uh, I mean, I wouldn't put it past me if I was dictator of the country, but as you
00:44:35.000
know, I'm going to end up putting everybody in jail for something. So, you know, don't again,
00:44:38.400
don't take it personally. Uh, but that's not what I said. I just, I, I, I am very skeptical
00:44:43.400
that in the final analysis, uh, people are actually going to be more productive when
00:44:50.200
they're working from home. I'm very skeptical of that claim. Uh, I understand the desire to
00:44:54.520
land on Mars, but I think the money could be much better spent here at home. I was just shy
00:44:58.700
of my eighth birthday when we landed on the moon. I'm 63. Now we've not utilized the moon
00:45:02.400
in any productive capacity. Why waste the money, time and effort? Well, I've explained why the
00:45:07.160
money, time and effort is not a waste. I think that the demand that we utilize the moon or Mars
00:45:11.200
is just, you know, very utilitarian, kind of a shallow way of looking at it, frankly. And
00:45:15.760
sure, if we can utilize it, great. If we can figure out how to mine the moon or Mars or
00:45:20.300
asteroids for precious metals and other resources and get them back to earth and do it in a cost
00:45:24.660
effective way. Fantastic. We should do that. But even if we can't, the value in doing the thing is
00:45:30.680
simply in doing the thing. The value of landing on the moon was that we land on the moon. The value
00:45:34.240
of going to Mars is going to Mars. And so to me, you know, it's a bit like, it's a bit like,
00:45:40.440
it's like saying that the Mona Lisa has no value because you can't use it for anything.
00:45:50.740
Or, or maybe a better example, because, you know, you can say with artwork, well, we can, we place a,
00:45:56.280
we can place a monetary value on it. Yeah. But the monetary value we place on art is totally
00:46:00.660
subjective. And it's still, it's, you know, what do you do with art? You just hang it on a wall.
00:46:06.080
You don't do anything with it. It doesn't, it doesn't, it just sits there. What if somebody
00:46:11.240
painted an extraordinarily beautiful picture, but never sold it or cashed in at all? So never got
00:46:18.800
any money out of it, never used it for anything, never sold it, never traded it. Would you say that
00:46:26.620
it was wasted time and effort? What if someone spent five years slaving away on a masterpiece
00:46:34.540
of a portrait or a painting or a sculpture, and then they just kept it, never did anything with
00:46:40.880
it? Is that, is that wasted time and effort? Or would you be able to see that creating a beautiful
00:46:47.640
piece of art is a valuable and worthwhile pursuit, even if you don't do anything with the final product,
00:46:54.200
except put it on display to look at? Uh, I think you'd, you know, I think the latter,
00:46:59.380
I think you'd understand that there's value in it because we're human beings and we find value in
00:47:03.880
things, even things we do not use. This is one of the many things that distinguishes us from the
00:47:09.160
animals. I mean, for an animal, uh, nothing has any value unless it's, it's a, some, a resource or a
00:47:15.900
food source for them. Um, but we can see values, value, a value in something that even transcends,
00:47:23.440
um, it's, uh, it's, it's usefulness. And, uh, I think a similar thing can apply to, uh,
00:47:32.120

00:48:14.040
cancellation. We began the show by talking about the relative and rather bizarre lack of panic among
00:48:25.020
some on the left in the wake of Trump's barrage of executive orders. But there is one area where the
00:48:29.040
panic has been much more obvious and more to the scale of what you'd expect. And that relates
00:48:34.880
to the Trump administration's efforts to fulfill one of his central campaign promises, which is to
00:48:38.880
deport illegal aliens who are currently residing in the United States and to prevent more illegal
00:48:42.660
aliens from entering into the United States. In particular, Republicans in Congress have just
00:48:46.900
passed the Lake and Riley Act with the support of dozens of Democrats. The point of law is to require
00:48:51.940
the Department of Homeland Security detain illegal aliens who commit crimes, including shoplifting,
00:48:56.560
burglary, larceny, and so on so that they can be deported immediately. And as you may remember,
00:49:02.020
Lake and Riley's killer was picked up for a variety of crimes, including shoplifting
00:49:05.620
before he went hunting for women to rape and murder at the campus of the University of Georgia.
00:49:10.680
But instead of being deported or detained, he was immediately set free, which is what enabled him
00:49:14.360
to commit this horrific crime. So this is about as basic a law as you can imagine.
00:49:19.400
It doesn't even give any new authority to federal immigration officials. Instead,
00:49:24.140
it simply mandates that they do what was already their job when an illegal alien commits a crime.
00:49:30.500
If anything, the law is too permissive. We should be requiring that federal authorities deport everyone
00:49:35.560
who's here illegally, regardless of whether they commit an additional crime or not. But
00:49:39.240
as it stands, it's just a baseline measure to ensure that no more women like Lake and Riley are
00:49:44.460
murdered by people who obviously should have been deported a long time ago. But Democrats don't
00:49:49.220
see it that way. In fact, they've been having full-blown meltdowns in Congress over this legislation
00:49:52.880
and Donald Trump's plans more generally with immigration. So here, for example, is the astute
00:50:02.200
Enough is enough. It will separate families. It would lead again to continued discrimination.
00:50:07.940
It's shameful that my colleagues are giving into racist fear-mongering at the first opportunity to
00:50:13.060
pass legislation to scapegoat our immigrant neighbors and fuel hate in our communities.
00:50:18.140
I know what's going to happen. It won't just be undocumented. It'll be people like my mother
00:50:22.340
who will get stopped and profiled. She has to carry her U.S. passport around?
00:50:28.760
Are we asking people now to have documentation? That's what you want to turn our neighbors into,
00:50:35.640
I yield the general lady an additional 30 seconds.
00:50:38.240
I just ask all of you to truly understand what this will do to our community.
00:50:43.820
I urge our colleagues to please vote no on this divisive bill. And it's so important to understand
00:50:49.620
what you're going to turn our communities and our neighborhoods into. We can't allow that to
00:50:57.120
So bizarrely, she claims that her mother will be affected by this law, even though her mother
00:51:01.040
apparently is not an illegal alien. And that raises an obvious question. Is Rashida Tlaib's mother
00:51:06.980
a shoplifter? I mean, that's the only way this complaint really makes sense.
00:51:11.740
The law doesn't establish any criteria to profile anyone. It just requires that illegal aliens who
00:51:16.060
commit crimes get detained. Quoting for legislation, the Secretary of Homeland Security shall issue a
00:51:20.860
detainer for an illegal or for an alien described in paragraph 1E. And if the alien is not otherwise
00:51:27.140
detained by federal, state or local officials, shall effectively and expeditiously take custody of the
00:51:32.800
alien. Now, if you scroll down up to paragraph 1E, it applies to illegal aliens who are, quote,
00:51:38.840
charged with, arrested for, convicted of, admits having committed, or admits committing acts which
00:51:44.280
constitute the essential elements of any burglary, theft, larceny, or shoplifting offenses.
00:51:49.420
So maybe Rashida Tlaib is trying to tell us something about her mother and her community. Maybe this is a
00:51:55.960
cry for help. I don't know. Otherwise, it's all very confusing. Fortunately, we have AOC to shed some light
00:52:01.980
on the matter. Here's her very well-reasoned objection to the legislation.
00:52:06.580
If someone wants to point a finger and accuse someone of shoplifting, they will be rounded up and put into a
00:52:14.580
private detention camp and signed and sent out for deportation without a day in court, without a
00:52:20.580
moment to assert their right and without a moment to assert the privilege of innocent until proven
00:52:25.260
guilty, without being found guilty of a crime that will be rounded up. Again, this is all nonsense.
00:52:31.400
There's no provision in legislation where you get rounded up and put into a private detention camp and
00:52:36.120
sent out for deportation as soon as someone, quote, points a finger and accuses you of shoplifting.
00:52:40.760
That's not in there at all. I mean, she's missing two important things. First of all,
00:52:45.060
the law doesn't apply to you unless you're already in this country illegally,
00:52:49.240
meaning you're already subject to immediate deportation. And secondly,
00:52:52.420
random people can't just point a finger at these aliens. They have to be, at a minimum,
00:52:56.480
charged by a prosecutor with an additional crime on top of being here illegally.
00:53:01.820
A lot of Democrats seem to struggle with understanding any of this. Over at CNN, for example,
00:53:05.840
anchor Dana Bash was visibly stunned when Tom Homan explained that all illegal aliens are subject
00:53:12.780
to deportation, even if they haven't committed an additional crime within our borders. Watch.
00:53:18.040
We're not going to strike, and this is the difference between the last administration and
00:53:20.740
this administration. ISIS is going to enforce the immigration law. There's nothing in the INA,
00:53:24.920
the Immigration Nationality Act, says you got to be convicted of a serious crime in order to be
00:53:28.900
removed from this country. So there's going to be more collateral arrests in sanctuary cities
00:53:32.740
because they forced us to go in the community and find the guy we're looking for.
00:53:37.540
Let me just make sure that I understand what you're saying, because at first you said
00:53:41.400
that the first targets are those with criminal records. But you are also saying that those who
00:53:48.520
are undocumented in the U.S. also who don't have criminal records, people who are working in their
00:53:55.240
communities, maybe even have spouses who are American citizens, they could be swept up with ICE today
00:54:00.940
as well. What I'm telling you is when we go find our priority tiger, which is a criminal alien,
00:54:06.900
if he's with others in the United States illegally, we're going to take enforcement action against him.
00:54:11.160
We're going to enforce the immigration law. You know, one of the things that's great about Tom
00:54:14.760
Homan is that he doesn't even pretend to care about sanitizing any of this. It's what he's been
00:54:20.500
promising to do for months, and he's going to do it. Voters clearly want him to do it.
00:54:23.940
They've got the mandate of the American people. So when the CNN anchor reacts with disbelief,
00:54:30.780
he just doesn't care. That's not going to stop the rest of the corporate press from
00:54:35.080
relying on predictable emotional blackmail. Over the Washington Post, a reporter just uploaded a
00:54:39.580
video of a sobbing foreign national, and her caption reads, quote, migrants who are waiting for
00:54:45.620
their 1 p.m. CBP1 parole appointment learned 20 minutes ago that the app is shut down and those
00:54:50.840
disappointments are no longer valid. And here's the video that the reporter posted along with it.
00:54:55.840
There's going to be a lot of this kind of thing in the coming days. There's already been quite a bit
00:55:21.440
of it, these videos of so-called migrants sobbing and crying. But, you know, this one is interesting.
00:55:29.900
First of all, this person's pretty well-dressed. She has an iPhone, apparently, because she's
00:55:34.920
checking the app and clearly not very good at planning ahead because she somehow didn't make
00:55:39.720
the trip at any point in the last two months when it was obvious to everyone that Donald Trump was
00:55:43.020
going to take over the White House. But despite all that, we're supposed to feel terrible that she's
00:55:46.420
being turned away. In fact, we're supposed to be willing to forfeit our own sovereignty just so
00:55:52.080
that this woman feels better. If somebody cries because they can't illegally access your home,
00:55:58.880
you should just let them in. I mean, that's the idea. Never mind the inherent incoherence of a
00:56:03.740
left position on this. I mean, on one hand, they tell us that America is systemically racist,
00:56:11.940
And on the other hand, they expect us to see it as a great tragedy that a Hispanic woman
00:56:17.880
isn't allowed to come here. But by their logic, aren't we doing the woman a favor?
00:56:22.400
Isn't she better off in her homeland? Shouldn't they be the ones on the border saying,
00:56:26.180
no, don't come here, turn back, save yourselves? Right? We should try to save her from our racist,
00:56:31.340
xenophobic, fascist, Nazi hellscape of a country. Now, for their part, Axios came up with another tactic.
00:56:37.420
They decided that they were going to try to use Americans' faith against us. They reported,
00:56:44.380
quote, Trump's flurry of orders restricting immigration and promising mass deportation
00:56:48.220
violates core Christian principles of caring for the poor and needy.
00:56:53.500
So now the corporate press is reporting on God's assessment of America's domestic policy.
00:56:58.820
They're channeling divine insight, and that insight just so happens to sound a lot like
00:57:03.480
you know, that fake bishop from the other day. It also contradicts everything that the press has
00:57:08.120
been saying for months. As Aaron McIntyre pointed out, these same media outlets told us that Donald
00:57:13.340
Trump was a Christian nationalist who wants to bring about a Christian theocracy. And now they're mad that
00:57:19.220
Trump is supposedly ignoring Christian law, Christian principles, just to ruin the lives of all these
00:57:25.500
innocent illegal aliens. It's like, which is it? Never mind the fact that there's nothing remotely
00:57:32.080
Christian about allowing your country to be overrun by violent criminals to the point that women and
00:57:38.100
children are routinely dying horrific deaths. There's also nothing in scripture that tells us that
00:57:42.960
countries shouldn't have borders or that national sovereignty is an inherent evil. There is nothing
00:57:50.160
that declares our right to break whatever law we don't agree with. In fact, scripture says precisely
00:57:55.820
the opposite. Give to Caesar what is Caesar's. That was Jesus Christ's command. Saint Paul tells us to
00:58:00.680
obey governing authorities. So the Bible is very clear that we cannot simply discard the laws we don't
00:58:08.700
like. As long as man's law does not contradict the laws of God, as long as we are not being told to do
00:58:14.540
things that are inherently immoral and unjust and in contradiction to our faith, as long as that's not
00:58:21.580
happening, then we are obliged to respect the law and follow it, even if we don't like it, even if it's
00:58:28.140
inconvenient, even if it causes us hardship. The laws governing the border very much fall into the category of
00:58:34.840
laws that we must follow as Christians. It's in fact the illegal aliens who are being un-Christian in reality.
00:58:41.800
And certainly all the people that are trying to facilitate their entry into the country.
00:58:50.280
So if the left wants to bring our Christian faith into it, well, that's what our Christian faith
00:58:55.160
actually says. So none of these tactics will work. None of this emotional blackmail from Congress,
00:59:00.520
from the media, or anywhere else is likely to change very many people's mind about the Trump
00:59:07.860
administration's crackdown on illegal aliens. Americans are fed up with the illegal conquest
00:59:13.160
of our homeland. And for every, we know that for every crying illegal alien they put on screen,
00:59:18.280
there are a thousand crying Americans that they could show whose lives were destroyed by the crime
00:59:24.900
and drugs and violence that these people have brought into our country. But you know, they're not
00:59:31.020
showing us those images. And this time around, in a major contrast from the first Trump administration,
00:59:37.980
everyone knows why. And that is why Democrats who have descended into panic about Donald Trump's
00:59:42.840
decision to enforce immigration law are today canceled. That'll do it for the show today.
00:59:48.360
Thanks for watching. Thanks for listening. Talk to you tomorrow. Have a great day.
