Today on the Matt Wall Show, China has increased its crackdown on Christians in the country,
00:00:03.500
but it's not just communist China that has made Christianity effectively illegal. The same thing
00:00:07.440
is happening in Western democracies across the globe. One of those democracies has just passed
00:00:11.580
a law effectively making Christian prayer illegal. We'll talk about that. Also, the stock market
00:00:16.240
bounces back as Trump pauses most of the tariffs. Chris Matthews returns to MSNBC and makes one of
00:00:20.980
the dumbest comments in the history of cable news, which is saying something. And the internet has
00:00:25.680
been very mad at me this week, even more than usual. We'll take a look at some of the outraged
00:00:29.480
comments and videos and respond to all of that. And more today on the Matt Wall Show.
00:00:32.800
Have you ever come across someone saying that capitalism is evil or something similar,
00:01:02.020
maybe in a video, online, on TV, or just talking with someone? What was your reaction if you did?
00:01:07.120
When did capitalism become such a hot-button issue anyway? Well, it seems like people
00:01:10.720
have such strong opinions about it and very little understanding of capitalism as a whole.
00:01:15.000
Luckily, if you're looking to expand your knowledge and horizons on a broad range of
00:01:18.800
topics, including subjects like capitalism, Hillsdale College is offering more than 40 free
00:01:23.880
online courses. That's right, completely free. You'll learn about the United States Constitution,
00:01:28.700
explore stories from the book of Genesis, discover the rise and fall of the Roman Republic, or even
00:01:32.840
study the history of the ancient Christian church. I do recommend watching their new course,
00:01:36.420
Understanding Capitalism. In just seven lectures, you'll learn about the role of profit and loss,
00:01:41.160
how human nature shapes our economy, and why capitalism depends on private property rights,
00:01:45.960
the rule of law, and freedom. You'll also discover why capitalism actually encourages morality
00:01:50.440
rather than undermining it, like today's varying political agendas would have you believe.
00:01:54.900
Understanding Economics and Capitalism empowers individuals and societies to make informed
00:01:59.100
decisions, evaluate policy impacts, anticipate market changes, and ultimately create more
00:02:03.720
prosperous communities. Go right now to hillsdale.edu slash walsh to enroll in this course,

00:02:16.340
Amid all the talk about tariffs with China and how they steal America's intellectual property and
00:02:21.240
establish all kinds of trade barriers with this country. You might have missed this story. It's
00:02:25.560
not about economics, but at the same time, it tells you a lot about what authoritarian countries
00:02:29.840
like China fear the most. So beginning on May 1st, China will accelerate its crackdown on religion
00:02:35.740
and Christianity in particular. Foreign missionaries will be banned from preaching unless they obtain
00:02:40.460
formal approval from the government. And according to Chinese state media, the goal of the new regulation
00:02:45.460
is to protect national security and political stability, quote unquote, by forcing people to attend official
00:02:51.160
state-run religious services with pre-approved messaging. Additionally, Chinese state media has recently
00:02:56.780
boasted about the fact that religious groups, which the government calls cult organizations, have been
00:03:01.940
increasingly shut down in China. At this point, one of the fastest ways to disappear in China is to deliver a
00:03:08.140
sermon that upsets the ruling party. Of course, this is the exact opposite of the result we were promised when the
00:03:13.840
United States normalized free trade with China several decades ago. As Bill Clinton put it, at the time,
00:03:19.000
membership in the WTO will not create a free society in China overnight or guarantee that China
00:03:23.920
will play by global rules. But over time, I believe it will move China faster and further in the right
00:03:29.740
direction. Well, that has not happened. Instead, China is now aggressively moving to crush Christians for the
00:03:37.120
simple reason that Christians believe in a higher power than their government. And we have not
00:03:43.240
introduced Western norms to China. We have not exported our values to them. Instead, despite the promises of free
00:03:50.980
trade, China has successfully exported its totalitarian impulses and its anti-Christian impulses to the West.
00:03:58.640
One by one, Western countries are adopting anti-Christian crackdowns to the point that they're making it illegal for
00:04:04.980
Christians to practice their faith. What's happening right now in New South Wales, which is a state on the east coast of
00:04:11.040
Australia, makes this very clear. Earlier this month, something called the Conversion Practices Ban Act of
00:04:18.040
2024 became law in New South Wales. This law, by its own terms, allows the authorities to arrest Christians
00:04:25.240
for praying. Now, that is not an exaggeration. That's not an overstatement. It's actually written into the
00:04:31.620
legislation. Quoting for the government of New South Wales, quote,
00:04:35.660
This again is in Australia, a Western nation, not China. Praying with someone who wants you to pray with
00:04:59.200
them could land you in jail. That's happening right now in a supposed Western democracy. In other words,
00:05:06.200
if someone who wants to pray to God, if somebody wants to pray to God to, you know, overcome his gender
00:05:12.940
dysphoria, a condition that, by definition, causes significant mental distress, then his pastor cannot pray
00:05:19.300
with him. In fact, his own family members cannot pray with him. If the police discover that any
00:05:24.880
unapproved prayers have been occurring, they can kick down the doors of the church or the family home
00:05:30.260
and haul away the violators. And then they'll spend up to five years in prison for their crime against
00:05:35.180
the state, which is the crime of praying. Just to emphasize this point, the government of New South
00:05:41.440
Wales published the single most Orwellian video you'll ever see. And no matter how many times you've
00:05:46.440
heard the word Orwellian, believe me, this qualifies. This is the government's attempt to intimidate
00:05:52.680
the millions of people who live in New South Wales with their new law that bans prayer. And
00:06:02.480
South Wales, all people, regardless of sexual orientation or gender identity, should feel
00:06:08.340
welcome and valued and be able to live authentically and with pride. There are those who believe that
00:06:15.060
being LGBTQA is an illness, a choice, a disorder, or a disease. They believe it can be
00:06:22.480
changed or hidden. They believe that things can be done to stop a person being LGBTQA or to
00:06:30.380
fix them. These actions might look like counselling, never-ending referrals, prayer or pastoral
00:06:37.580
conversation that is intended to change or suppress someone's gender or sexuality. Some people who
00:06:44.380
believe these things also believe that a person who has a different sexual orientation or gender
00:06:49.800
identity can't also be a person of faith. But we know these so-called conversion practices are deeply
00:06:56.640
harmful. They don't work, and they are damaging to the whole community.
00:07:01.000
By the way, of course, we have the closed captions and the sign language interpreter at the same—at the—I don't
00:07:12.420
know why you need both. You know, if you're deaf, deaf, I think that the closed captions are probably
00:07:16.380
good enough. But anyway, first of all, by the terms of this legislation, every single gender activist,
00:07:22.700
every trans activist in Australia is a criminal because they all believe without exception that
00:07:29.120
you can choose to be LGBTQA, which is apparently now the acronym. There's no other way to explain
00:07:35.900
people who ping-pong between genders at will or people who detransition. In fact, the concept of
00:07:41.680
fluidity is now dogma in the LGBT religion. Fluidity, sexual fluidity, gender fluidity means that you can
00:07:49.100
change from one's sexuality or gender to another. So if somebody identifies as a bi-gender toaster can
00:07:55.880
and then a few weeks later decides that he's really a demigender half-humanoid alpaca or whatever,
00:08:01.720
then at some point we can conclude this person has made a choice to identify one way and then the
00:08:09.180
other. And every step of the way, gender activists, according to the tenets of their ideology, have no
00:08:14.200
choice but to affirm everything. This is one of the reasons trans activists keep losing in court,
00:08:19.260
by the way. They have to admit that under their logic, so-called trans people can choose at any
00:08:25.680
time to be trans or not trans. And therefore, because trans status is malleable, again, malleable
00:08:32.420
by definition, by their definition, they're not entitled to civil rights protections, which are only
00:08:38.300
applying, which only apply to immutable, unchanging traits. Now, as the video continues, things become
00:08:44.680
even more dystopian. There's this line, for example, quote, all people should feel welcome and valued and
00:08:49.540
be able to live authentically and with pride. Yes, all people, every single one of them, should feel
00:08:55.540
valued and welcomed. They should all be able to live authentically. But this promise apparently does
00:09:01.520
not apply to Christians who believe, as all of humanity did until 15 minutes ago, that men are men and
00:09:06.260
women are women. Those Christians do not have the right to live authentically or feel welcomed.
00:09:11.460
Instead, they can go straight to prison. So here's more of the video, because again, as it goes along,
00:09:20.620
New South Wales now has a law against conversion practices. These practices, whether done by family
00:09:27.600
members, health professionals, or healthcare providers, disability support providers, teachers,
00:09:33.700
or faith leaders, among others, are now unlawful, because they are based on ideas that we now know
00:09:40.580
are untrue and harmful. The law says a practice is illegal if it's directed at an individual because
00:09:48.060
of their sexual orientation or gender identity to try to make them change or suppress their sexual
00:09:54.120
orientation or gender identity. It is not a conversion practice to state what a religion says about a
00:10:00.820
particular topic, provided it's not directed to changing or suppressing an individual's sexual
00:10:06.820
orientation or gender identity. There's nothing wrong or broken about LGBTQA people.
00:10:15.480
It's damaging to say that LGBTQA people should be fixed, and it's inaccurate to say they can be fixed
00:10:22.500
or healed. So it's been established in the law directly in writing. In this video, they say
00:10:29.920
specifically that these quote-unquote conversion practices include prayer. That's explicitly outlined
00:10:39.900
that prayer is a conversion practice. And then they casually establish that family members,
00:10:47.560
including a mother and father, can be incarcerated if they don't affirm their child's imagined gender
00:10:53.700
identity. In fact, if a mother or father were to simply pray that their child would overcome their
00:11:01.920
gender dysphoria, they can go to jail. If the government somehow catches wind that you were praying for
00:11:08.920
your child to not be confused anymore, you can go to jail for that. And of course, they establish all this
00:11:17.060
with this sing-songy HR lady reading the voiceover. You know, scratch an HR lady and you'll find a
00:11:21.940
power-mad despot every single time. We've talked about so-called conversion therapy before and how
00:11:26.900
efforts to ban the practice are both unconstitutional and incoherent. In this country, the Supreme Court
00:11:31.660
is about to hear a case concerning whether Colorado's ban on conversion therapy violates the First
00:11:36.600
Amendment. The problem is that bans on conversion therapy in every case are premised on the idea that
00:11:41.980
sexual orientation cannot be changed. But in the same breath, the government in New South Wales will tell you
00:11:46.060
that sex is extremely changeable. In fact, you can go to the doctor and change it tomorrow. You can
00:11:52.520
change it without going to a doctor at all. You can just wake up tomorrow and say, I'm now a man or I'm
00:11:56.240
now a woman, and that's what you are. So if you're changing your sex, then you're also changing your
00:12:02.840
sexual orientation, as I've outlined before, under their logic. A man who supposedly becomes a woman
00:12:07.320
but retains his attraction to men, let's say, so would become a lesbian in their view.
00:12:15.540
Or rather, retains a straight man who's attracted to women and then becomes a woman and is still
00:12:19.860
attracted to women, has gone from straight to lesbian in their view. This is the logical
00:12:25.400
problem with these conversion therapy bans that they simply have no answer for. It's like dividing
00:12:30.700
by zero. But now they're using this phony logic to justify throwing parents and priests in prison
00:12:40.620
Reports about conversion practices can be made to anti-discrimination in New South Wales.
00:12:46.560
Formal complaints may lead to conciliation between the people involved, targeted education,
00:12:52.220
or further investigation. In New South Wales, it is a crime to provide a conversion practice that
00:12:58.180
causes substantial mental or physical harm or endangers an individual's life.
00:13:07.440
It is also a crime to take someone outside of New South Wales for these practices,
00:13:12.700
or to engage someone from outside of New South Wales to deliver these practices to someone in
00:13:17.080
New South Wales. This can lead to up to three years in prison, a fine, or both.
00:13:22.200
Yeah, so I guess if you live in New South Wales, and let's say you enlist someone else who doesn't
00:13:34.580
live there to pray, if you live in New South Wales and you call your grandma, who lives in another
00:13:42.140
state or another country, and you say, hey, can you pray for my child, your grandson, who's
00:13:49.220
struggling with gender dysphoria, you'd go to jail for that. I mean, again, this is not me like
00:13:55.860
exaggerating, or this is not a slippery slope. Oh, that's what the law says. That's directly,
00:14:02.160
explicitly what the law says. The scope of this law is so broad that you could probably claim that
00:14:08.160
I'm violating it right now if my show was broadcast in New South Wales. If you're listening
00:14:14.900
to this show in New South Wales, is that a crime? Could you go to jail for that? Maybe.
00:14:21.260
They want Australians to snitch on each other if they get a whiff of anyone who dares to suggest that
00:14:26.360
gender ideology isn't real. And in a lot of ways, it's like the COVID lockdowns all over again.
00:14:31.140
You might remember that at the height of the pandemic, there was a nationwide manhunt in Australia
00:14:36.060
when some guy sneezed in an empty elevator without a mask on. And now they're going to have manhunts
00:14:41.640
over unauthorized prayers. If you don't believe that, consider what just happened a few weeks ago
00:14:46.780
to Billboard Chris. He was peacefully standing in a market in Brisbane wearing a sign that expresses
00:14:53.740
his opposition to the castration of children in the name of gender ideology. He only spoke to people
00:14:58.200
who spoke to him first. He didn't obstruct anyone's movement or anything like that. People were walking
00:15:03.020
around him the whole time. He did not obviously assault anyone or accost anyone in any way. There's no
00:15:08.540
dispute any of that. It's all on video. Nevertheless, Brisbane police showed up and
00:15:15.160
So as you've been directed, I'm acting Sergeant Gilchandle from Brisbane City Police Station,
00:15:21.200
so you've been directed that you need to leave, well, stop doing what you're doing because you're
00:15:25.280
currently obstructing the mall area, which has its laws that do not permit this activity.
00:15:30.740
Okay, so we would now require you to leave the area. Okay? Are you going to leave the area?
00:15:36.500
So I've read the law, and I'm being told that I was obstructing people from their movement,
00:15:44.820
which is not true. And I'm not disturbing anyone. I stand quietly having conversations
00:15:53.280
with people who approach me, and so I don't believe I'm in violation of that.
00:15:57.780
You are obstructing people, okay? How am I obstructing people? It's been explained to you,
00:16:04.140
okay? Oh, that was a lie, but yeah. Do you want to grab your things and leave?
00:16:09.280
No, I'm not leaving. So I'm a man of integrity and truth, and it is not true that I was obstructing
00:16:16.180
anyone. And I don't think I can in good conscience yield to this act of authoritarianism when it's
00:16:28.440
All right, so are you not going to comply with that?
00:16:32.080
We're going to head that way, then. I'm going to use reasonable force, whether I need it for
00:16:35.920
hands or not. We're going to head down that way.
00:16:40.800
You don't have to touch your things, and that works.
00:16:46.240
So they arrested him for standing in a public place with a sign. There's no doubt that if the sign
00:16:51.900
had been, you know, pro-gay marriage or whatever, then none of this would have happened.
00:16:56.840
If you watch the full video, the police can't name a single other instance where they've
00:17:00.580
jailed someone for peacefully protesting at that location. But Billboard Chris blasphemed
00:17:05.440
Australia's state religion, so they took him away in handcuffs. And now they're planning to do the
00:17:09.300
same thing to clergy. The other day, an Australian commentator named Evelyn Ray outlined exactly
00:17:14.120
what's happening here. And here was her assessment, which is worth playing, not only because she's
00:17:17.860
right, but also because it's good to know that, you know, Australia hasn't been completely captured yet.
00:17:23.920
Look, just further to what Kel said, I don't think it's going to be too hard of a stretch
00:17:28.480
to prosecute something like this, because it's completely pending on subjectiveness,
00:17:33.640
which should never be in a court of law. It's testing whether harm it. And when it comes to,
00:17:38.300
you know, seriousness of somebody's life, all somebody has to say is, I wanted to kill myself
00:17:42.920
because somebody said, you know, and prayed over me that I wouldn't be same-sex attracted.
00:17:48.620
Boom. There you go. You've met your criteria based on the burden of proof, which they've put
00:17:52.780
in this legislation. I mean, what is this? Are we China? This is regulated religion. China,
00:17:59.420
in China, they haven't fully outlawed Christianity, but what they have done is regulate it. And that is
00:18:05.420
exactly what this is. This is straight out of China.
00:18:08.880
So everything Evelyn Ray just said also applies to many other countries. This is not a problem
00:18:14.040
that's limited to Australia. Here's a report from Reason late last year, for example. This is the
00:18:17.740
kind of story that J.D. Vance mentioned in his recent address to European leaders. Quote,
00:18:21.880
a British man was convicted of criminal charges for praying silently near an abortion clinic. The man,
00:18:26.380
Adam Smith Connor, did not attempt to harass, intimidate, or interact in any way with those
00:18:31.260
entering the clinic. Instead, he wordlessly prayed with his head bowed slightly. He was not even on
00:18:37.160
clinic property. He was outside the sight line of the clinic itself. As a result, Smith Connor was
00:18:41.840
questioned by police and later charged with violating a public spaces protection order,
00:18:46.360
a broad censorship order enabled by the 2014 Antisocial Behavior Crime and Policing Act.
00:18:51.700
Under this law, local authorities can obtain special status for some public places,
00:18:55.440
allowing them to ban a huge range of conduct in the name of limiting antisocial behavior. Close quote.
00:19:01.600
So again, this is someone who was not on clinic property, was not even talking to anyone,
00:19:08.920
was praying not even out loud, but in his head, and was arrested. Because prayer is considered
00:19:17.200
antisocial behavior in England. It's like exactly the, I mean, exactly what you would hear in communist
00:19:24.720
China. It's exactly the same argument, if you could call it that, that they make for arresting people,
00:19:32.360
Christians who pray in communist China. These kinds of arrests are happening because from Britain to
00:19:37.060
Colorado to Canada to Australia to China, authoritarians in government detest any challenge
00:19:42.980
to their authority. These government officials know that they are not impressive people. Australia's
00:19:47.980
prime minister has barely held a real job in his life. Most of the country is represented by people
00:19:52.060
like that. They're petrified that their subjects might worship someone other than themselves. And
00:19:57.100
as a result, they're now throwing Christians in prison for practicing their faith. This trend has
00:20:01.780
accelerated in China, and it's now spreading throughout the West. Christians are being forcibly
00:20:06.360
silenced at scale. They're being vilified and incarcerated for what they believe. Now, I began by saying this
00:20:13.780
as a monologue that is not about economics or trade wars, and that's true. But as we consider how we'll work
00:20:19.660
with these countries in the future as we negotiate trade deals and so on, the assaults on Christians simply
00:20:25.380
cannot be ignored. These attacks are as unlawful and immoral as they are systematic. They're becoming a
00:20:33.100
fundamental part of the culture of both our allies and our adversaries. For the benefit of billions of
00:20:40.060
Christians and to preserve basic constitutional rights like the freedom of speech, this coordinated assault on
00:20:45.740
religion must end. Now let's get to our five headlines.

00:22:09.980
PolicyGenius.com slash Walsh. Daily Wire reports the American stock market quickly rebounded on Wednesday
00:22:16.240
afternoon after President Donald Trump announced that he was pausing his reciprocal Liberation Day
00:22:20.120
tariffs on all countries except China. Responding to Trump's announcement, the Dow Jones, S&P 500,
00:22:27.320
and Nasdaq had all climbed above their Tuesday close by early Wednesday afternoon. Before the surge,
00:22:32.840
Trump said on Truth Social that he was raising tariffs on China to 125% and lowering tariffs
00:22:39.520
across the rest of the board to 10%, pausing the steeper reciprocal hikes. So that's where all this
00:22:47.720
lands. I mean, and you may have noticed that over the past week or two, while everybody has been
00:22:54.440
freaking out about the tariffs, that I've barely mentioned it on this show. And that's partly because
00:23:01.260
economic news isn't really my bag. I don't think I have the most valuable insight to offer on the
00:23:05.620
subject, frankly. You know, I think I have a pretty clear idea of where I have valuable insights and
00:23:13.060
where I don't. And so it's not my focus, even though it is obviously important. But it's also
00:23:18.660
because I wanted to see how all this plays out. I didn't want to be a panicking, to use Trump's
00:23:23.940
phrase, which I do, to use his term, which I quite like. Just see how it plays out for a few days.
00:23:29.260
You can do that. It's okay to do that. When something is happening, you can wait. You can
00:23:33.620
just see, like, let's see what happens here for a couple of weeks at least. And then you can make
00:23:41.140
your pronouncements. It doesn't have to be right away. But of course, these days you're expected
00:23:47.320
to have a definitive pronouncement on everything immediately, especially in my line of work.
00:23:52.780
everyone expects you to diagnose every situation in 5.2 seconds and then sort of stake your ground
00:24:00.680
and defend your position. But a couple of weeks ago, well, I wasn't sure how it would play out.
00:24:09.420
I just wasn't sure. I didn't know. My crystal ball was broken. So I said, well, let's see how it plays
00:24:16.880
out. And so now we kind of have an idea of it. And very often it will turn out that if you just
00:24:23.800
wait, there will be more clarity. I will say that I have never regretted waiting to chime in on
00:24:30.640
something. I have regretted not waiting in a few cases that come to mind. So all that said, I think
00:24:36.800
Trump landed in the right place here. Focusing on China makes sense. China is the one ripping us off
00:24:41.760
to an extraordinary degree. Getting into a trade war with China is one thing. Getting into a trade
00:24:49.540
war with the whole world is another thing. The question is whether Trump had always planned to
00:24:53.240
play it this way or was this pause purely a reaction to the markets? And I don't know what
00:25:00.560
was in his head. I do know that I like that we're focusing on China. In fact, maybe you've seen this
00:25:05.680
clip, which I think is excellent, of Kevin O'Leary, Mr. Wonderful from Shark Tank, saying that if
00:25:13.120
anything, in his mind, Trump, even now with 125%, is going too easy on China. He would like to see
00:25:22.380
the tariffs at 400%. Let's watch that. But Kevin, he said there's a lot of deals that they're literally
00:25:29.060
kissing his ass, was the phrase he used, you know, very eloquently. Where are the deals?
00:25:35.640
104% tariffs in China are not enough. I'm advocating 400%. I do business in China. They don't play by the
00:25:43.780
rules. They've been in the WTO for decades. They have never abided by any of the rules they agreed
00:25:48.620
to when they came in for decades. They cheat. They steal. They steal IP. I can't litigate in their courts.
00:25:54.060
They take product, technology. They steal it. They manufacture it and sell it back here.
00:26:02.760
Can Americans understand 400% tariffs? What would that look like?
00:26:05.420
I want Xi on an airplane to Washington to level the playing field. This is not about tariffs anymore.
00:26:12.960
Nobody has taken on China yet, not the Europeans, no administration for decades. As someone who
00:26:19.100
actually does business there, I've had enough. I speak for millions of Americans who
00:26:24.040
have IP that have been stolen by the Chinese. I have nothing against the Chinese people. They brought
00:26:31.100
great literacy, art, and tech to the world. The government cheats and steals. And finally,
00:26:39.980
an administration, you may not like Trump. You may not like his style or his rhetoric.
00:26:44.300
Finally, an administration that puts up and says, enough. 400% tariffs tomorrow morning.
00:26:52.040
He'll tell you why. Xi can only stay the supreme leader if people are employed.
00:26:59.100
If we wipe out any business there, because we are still 39% of all consumables on Earth and 25%
00:27:06.620
of the world's GDP, America is the number one economy on Earth with all the cards. We will not have that
00:27:12.100
forever. It's time to squeeze Chinese heads into the wall now.
00:27:16.840
Well said. You can't argue with anything that he said there. China's ripping us off. They don't play
00:27:23.560
by the rules. They steal IP. No question about any of that. It's just a question of having the will
00:27:28.220
to do something about it, being willing to absorb the short-term cost. And that's something that very
00:27:32.560
few American leaders in modern history have ever been willing to do. And it's a message that they've
00:27:38.180
been unwilling to deliver to the American people. That's what I've respected about Trump's messaging
00:27:42.020
through all of this. However you feel about the tariffs. When he said, you know, it's going to
00:27:49.680
hurt at first. It's going to be painful. You just, you never hear political leaders in this country
00:27:55.480
say that. It's almost shocking to hear because you never hear them ever say that. You never hear
00:28:02.780
political leaders say, hey, I'm advocating a policy. I'm pushing a policy. I'm enacting a policy
00:28:06.620
that will hurt right now, but it'll be worth it in the long run. And that's exactly the problem,
00:28:14.560
by the way. That's why nothing ever gets solved. Because to solve any problem, any significant
00:28:20.300
problem, there is going to be pain. There is going to be volatility. No significant problem in this
00:28:26.720
country can be solved without that. And so if we're never willing to endure it, and if no political
00:28:34.040
leader is willing to take the hit in the polls, then nothing will get solved. And this is why
00:28:41.840
nothing does get solved. Any example, point to anything economically, culturally, point to any
00:28:51.500
major problem we face that's been allowed to fester. And the reason is always going to be that our
00:28:59.340
political leaders just were not willing to do the things that were necessary to fix it because they
00:29:06.840
knew that in the short term, it would be painful for people. And then they would take a hit in the
00:29:11.160
polls and they weren't willing to take the hit. This is why, you know, Social Security, for example,
00:29:17.500
is such a boondoggle because nobody has been willing to stand up and say, listen, we need to get out of
00:29:22.700
this thing. It doesn't make sense. It's not going to work. We cannot keep taking tens of thousands of
00:29:30.120
dollars from working Americans every single year to put into a retirement account that doesn't even
00:29:40.980
exist, forcing them to enroll in our retirement savings program. We can't keep doing it. So we got
00:29:49.120
to get out of this thing. It's going to hurt. There's going to be pain, but it can't go on.
00:29:56.620
And in the long run, it's the right thing. Nobody is willing to say that about anything.
00:30:04.020
And so with this, with trade, with tariffs, it's like the first time that I can think of
00:30:09.980
in my lifetime when we've heard this kind of messaging from a president or really any political
00:30:17.980
leader. Okay. Representative Brandon Gill questioned a witness during a House Judiciary Committee hearing
00:30:22.700
about sanctuary cities yesterday. And I don't know a lot about Brandon Gill. Actually, I don't know
00:30:26.080
anything about him, but I have seen a few clips like this recently where he's been questioning
00:30:31.080
somebody in a hearing. And I've been pretty impressed in those clips, including in this one.
00:30:46.960
What's your definition of safe? I'm asking you, is Baltimore a safe city? Is it the kind
00:30:52.080
of city that you would want to raise a family and maybe go jogging in without having to be
00:30:58.860
I grew up in Baltimore. My family is in Baltimore. My mother still lives in the same house in West
00:31:07.140
For 60 plus years. So the answer is definitely yes.
00:31:12.040
Okay. Do you know what the homicide rate is in Baltimore?
00:31:17.820
It's about 35 per 100,000. Do you know what the homicide rate is in the rest of the United States?
00:31:26.240
I can tell you that the homicide rate in Baltimore is about five times the national average.
00:31:32.260
Do you know how Baltimore's robbery rate compares to the rest of the United States?
00:31:39.000
You don't? It's about 8.4 times the national average. Do you know how Baltimore's assault
00:31:48.260
It's about 3.4 times higher. Does that sound like a safe city to you?
00:31:54.320
So that's safe to you? 30, excuse me, five times higher than the national average for
00:32:04.960
It said it's what the, for instance, it's perception. It's what you feel as a resident
00:32:11.540
I don't, if you're murdered, I don't think it matters what you feel. Do you? Is it,
00:32:15.040
is it your testimony that the safety depends on how people feel?
00:32:22.700
To you, it's a safe city. I don't think it's safe to the people who are being murdered every
00:32:31.360
Yeah, it's a safe city. I guess, you know, it's all, well, you know, safety, safety is
00:32:40.500
all relative. So being, living in a house in Baltimore is safe compared to, I don't know,
00:32:50.260
being in the, you know, the Texas Chainsaw Massacre guy's meat locker or something. So
00:32:56.700
great stuff from this representative. And what we see from this witness is a large part of the reason
00:33:01.580
why these cities like Baltimore are so horrifically unsafe. And by the way, I grew up in the Baltimore
00:33:09.260
area. I didn't live in the city, but I grew up in the area. And yes, it's very unsafe.
00:33:15.940
Everyone in the area knows that as you get closer to the city, the neighborhoods get more and more
00:33:19.960
dangerous, which is how, which is how it works in every major city. But the thing about Baltimore is
00:33:24.800
that, you know, years ago when I was a kid, many parts of the city were, were nice. You could go
00:33:32.720
downtown, you could go to the inner Harbor. Uh, you could walk down some of the historic streets
00:33:37.480
with all the old houses. You'd go to little Italy. You could go to Fort McHenry. You could go to, um,
00:33:42.620
I used to love going to look at the, uh, the shot tower in Baltimore where they used to make a musket
00:33:47.660
shot, musket balls. And, uh, that was cool because that was a building that was built in like the 1820s.
00:33:52.540
And when it was built, it was the, it was the largest building in the entire country.
00:33:56.740
Uh, and now of course it's dwarfed by every even small size skyscraper. But anyway,
00:34:02.320
Baltimore used to be family friendly. As long as you stayed out of the inner city, you stayed out of
00:34:07.740
the, as long as you stayed out of the places where they filmed the wire, basically you, you were okay.
00:34:12.700
And that all started to change. And by the time I moved away from home, uh, we weren't going to the
00:34:17.520
inner Harbor anymore. It became too dangerous. The violent crime took over the entire city.
00:34:22.660
And, um, and that's a trend that's continued by the way, you know, with, with the, the inner Harbor
00:34:27.600
violent, there was just an article I saw recently, but violent crime in the inner Harbor continuing to,
00:34:33.200
to rise. Um, and, and, and those are, again, I bring that up because those are supposed to be the
00:34:39.700
safe parts. Those are the, those are the safe parts of the city that if I still lived in the area,
00:34:45.540
I would, I wouldn't be bringing my kids up. We wouldn't be going to the inner Harbor. I'm just not
00:34:48.640
going to do that. And, uh, that's the way it so often goes. And how does this happen?
00:34:55.080
Well, we just saw because you've got these people who refuse to be honest about the problem. They
00:34:59.740
refuse to face it. They refuse to be honest. You've got someone here in a congressional hearing
00:35:06.180
on camera under oath, testifying that Baltimore is safe. In fact, he says it as if it's a self
00:35:16.760
evident. Of course it's safe. Everyone knows that Baltimore city is safe. It's a, it's, it's
00:35:22.940
world renowned as such a safe, peaceful place. Um, he doesn't really believe that nobody believes
00:35:30.260
that everyone knows it's, it's bull crap, but there's no chance of any of the problems being
00:35:35.780
fixed because, um, they refuse to be even remotely honest about it, which is the point that we'll
00:35:41.960
return to, uh, in fact, in the daily cancellation, we'll get back to that. So moving on to this,
00:35:47.000
Chris Matthews appeared on MSNBC yesterday. He used to have a show on MSNBC as older folks may
00:35:54.920
recall. You kids may not remember that, but, um, well, you kids don't even know that MSNBC exists,
00:36:00.180
but it does. It's a cable news channel. And, uh, this guy was on the network for a long time.
00:36:05.340
And then he was, then he farted on air and he was fired. Uh, I may be slightly altering the series
00:36:11.040
of events there, but he did fart on air in an interview with, uh, with, uh, Eric Swalwell. Well,
00:36:15.320
it's a, it's controversy over who farted really in that, in that one. And maybe they both did,
00:36:18.920
but anyway, eventually he got fired. Um, he was back on the network and he had some thoughts about
00:36:25.660
tariffs and this, this was before Trump and stated the pause, but he, he said something.
00:36:33.460
Well, it's just an easy dunk. It gives everyone a chance for a really easy, cheap dunk. And you know,
00:36:38.960
there's nothing I like more than an easy, cheap dunk, the easier and cheaper, the better.
00:36:45.620
I'm not above any of it. So here is Chris Matthews.
00:36:50.420
But there's something I watched on the evening news last night, one of the other networks,
00:36:54.480
and I watched, uh, the issue of lumber. Now you see, we get so much of our lumber,
00:36:59.720
our two by fours from, from Canada. What's where you get it from Canada. We got our newsprint from
00:37:05.100
up there for newspapers. The fact is we get it. What are we going to do to have more lumber made in the
00:37:09.420
United States now? What is our plan now? Oh, we're not going to import wood. So we're going to make
00:37:13.840
more wood. We're going to create more wood. Is that it? I don't think we are in a position
00:37:17.980
to simply replicate the imports coming into this country with our own products. They can't always
00:37:23.760
be done. And I think if a woods example of that would, are we going to make more wood in this
00:37:29.500
country because of our trade deal? I don't think so. What are we going to do? We're just going to make
00:37:35.300
more wood. What is it? But it's ridiculous. You know, we also import some, uh, bottled water from
00:37:42.540
Canada. Maybe, I don't know. Let's just say that we do. What are we going to do? Just get more water?
00:37:48.800
What? Are we going to find our own water? What do you think? Water falls from the sky? Is that what
00:37:53.780
you think? Oh yeah, sure. Let's just, let's just wait for the magical water sky fairy to drop water
00:38:00.240
from the sky. Great plan, guys. That's what Chris Matthews is saying, basically. Um, you expect us
00:38:07.600
to create more wood? Wood doesn't grow on trees for God's sake. As my dad used to say, good point,
00:38:17.660
Chris. Good point. Except that wood, you know, is trees. So that's where we get it. Where do you
00:38:28.740
think we get wood? Uh, Chris, where, where do you, where do you think, what do you think lumber is?
00:38:36.380
Where do you think it comes from? Uh, where do we get wood? And, uh, uh, yes. In fact, we, we,
00:38:45.820
we can create more wood. We just, you know, we, we have, it's, we, we have trees. We can, well,
00:38:51.360
we can grow trees. So you actually can, you can just create, you can just like make it. It's like,
00:38:56.720
it's magic. Um, and, uh, and, in fact, we, but we have a lot of trees already. We have, uh, 228
00:39:03.840
billion trees in this country. I asked chat GPT and that's what it told me. It also told me that
00:39:09.700
there are 716 trees per person. So that's good information to have. So we've got plenty of wood.
00:39:17.800
And, uh, I think that, look, there, there are, there are examples you could point to of things that
00:39:24.080
we import that we, we could not just easily create on our own. It's just that Chris Matthews
00:39:29.840
chose the worst example. He chose the worst possible example, uh, to illustrate that point,
00:39:36.820
which is great. There's been some discussion about Christy Noem, who's been doing all these
00:39:41.740
videos and photo ops while she's out with the ICE agents on immigration raids, always wearing the
00:39:47.260
uniform, the body armor, the hair and makeup, all done up. Uh, latest video has caused some
00:39:53.200
controversy. Let's watch it. Here we are with Marco and Brian today. They're letting me roll
00:39:58.320
with them. We're going to go out and pick up somebody who I think is got charges of human
00:40:03.160
trafficking. Um, we earlier had an op that swept up somebody who was wanted for murder. So
00:40:09.620
appreciate the good work that they do every day. And we appreciate them working to make America safe.
00:40:15.660
So you see, again, the, uh, the body armor, the gun, the hat kind of, uh, motioning slightly
00:40:21.220
towards the agent with, she's kind of, she, she does, she motions towards the agent, uh, with,
00:40:27.860
with the barrel of the weapon that, that seems to point in his direction, which is not what you
00:40:33.660
want. Um, the, the firearm is, it should not be used like a laser pointer. That's not what you want
00:40:38.960
to do. And you know, I have the same take on this that a lot of people do. I'm, I don't need the
00:40:44.840
Kristi Noem dress up thing. I just don't need it. We don't need it. Nobody needs it. Let the ice
00:40:51.920
agents go do what they do. Let the, the big tough dudes go out and catch the bad guys and the gang
00:40:57.040
members and deport them. And by the way, by all accounts, Kristi Noem is doing a, a really good
00:41:02.860
job in her actual role. Uh, she's doing a, she's, she's, she's performing the, you know, she's fulfilling
00:41:11.800
her obligations. She's doing a good job. It's just that it's, yeah, it's this, this, the pageantry
00:41:18.240
part of it that we don't need. Um, this kind of thing really only appeals to very specific
00:41:25.060
demographic to a really a specific demographic. I think that when you've got Kristi Noem, she's got
00:41:31.420
the makeup on, she's got the hair and she's got the body armor, which looks like it doesn't even
00:41:35.300
really fit. And she's carrying the weapon and, and, and she's sort of pretending that she's going to be
00:41:40.660
knocking down doors with these guys. Uh, she, you know, she's what, what? Five, six, 110 pounds.
00:41:46.600
I mean, it, it, it's not going to happen. I, I think that this is basically for
00:41:51.680
boomer conservative men only. I think boomer men like the whole kick-ass boss babe routine.
00:42:00.360
Uh, they like the conservative woman holding the gun, pretending to be Tomb Raider or whatever.
00:42:04.720
Um, not all boomer men, but I, I do think this is a boomer man play. It's not for women.
00:42:11.980
Conservative women don't need this. Younger guys, guys in my generation, if I can call myself younger
00:42:15.620
at this point, uh, we, we find this pretty cringe. So you're really left with like the kind of, um,
00:42:22.280
Sean Hannity viewer demographic. And I don't mean that as an insult. Okay. No shade. This is not shade.
00:42:27.000
I'm just offering my analysis. I think that's, I think that's, that's who, when you see this and,
00:42:31.940
and you say, well, who's this for? Why are you doing this? Who is this for? I think that's who
00:42:36.860
it's for, but whoever it's for, it's not necessary. We don't need the cause play. Uh, we just need
00:42:43.500
seriousness. And I think the Trump administration is taking the deportation of, uh, criminal illegal
00:42:50.480
aliens very seriously by all accounts. Like this is there you get, and they've, and guys like Tom
00:42:57.860
Homan, very serious guy. I mean, nobody would deny that. So they are taking it very seriously.
00:43:03.820
They are doing it well. Um, but then you just have this, you kind of mix in this, um, the little
00:43:11.400
bit of this theater here, which is made for to post on, on Twitter. And it's supposed to be
00:43:15.700
impressive. And I just let, let's, let's leave all that behind. We don't, we don't need it.
00:43:20.260
We don't need it. Uh, that's my take on that. Tax season is officially here and the IRS is turning
00:43:26.840
up the heat with the April 15th deadline fast approaching. Now's the time to act. If you've
00:43:30.620
fallen behind on filing or owe back taxes, delay will only make things worse. Every day you wait
00:43:35.880
increases your risk and the consequences with over 5,000 new tax liens filed every day and powerful
00:43:40.440
enforcement tools like property seizures, bank levies, and wage garnishments at its disposal. The
00:43:45.220
IRS is applying pressure at a level we haven't seen in years. Don't make the mistake of facing the
00:43:49.720
IRS alone. Tax network USA is here to help you take control. Whether your tax issue is $10,000

00:44:54.800
You know, a lot of people have been mad at me this week. Well, a lot of people are mad at me every
00:45:05.660
week, but this is an especially mad week. It's the kind of week where somebody tweeted, quote,
00:45:10.940
I'm praying that Matt Walsh gets into a fatal car accident. And that tweet got like 150 likes before
00:45:16.680
it was taken down. And I know what you're thinking, only 150 likes? That's disappointing.
00:45:22.280
We got to get those numbers up. And I agree. But again, the tweet was taken down. That's not a bad
00:45:26.160
tally for something that was only posted for a few hours. So get off my case about it. There was also
00:45:31.060
another tweet that said simply, I can't wait for Matt Walsh to die. And I appreciate that this guy is
00:45:37.060
more open-minded. You know, the other one only wants me to die in a car accident, but this guy is open to
00:45:41.360
really anything causing my death, a shark attack, asteroid strike, spontaneous combustion. He'll take
00:45:45.660
anything. And I really do appreciate that. But in any case, people are especially upset at me this week,
00:45:50.020
as best I can tell, because I have been speaking out about the murder of Austin Metcalf.
00:45:54.400
And my take on the murder is that, first of all, it's bad, which is already very controversial among
00:45:59.560
a large number of leftists. And also, second, I believe that his killing at the hands of Carmelo
00:46:03.160
Anthony is part of a larger trend. And the larger trend is that young black males like Carmelo Anthony
00:46:08.220
are, well, constantly killing people and committing other acts of violence. Young black males are the most
00:46:14.380
violent demographic in the country, hands down, no contest. I think we should probably
00:46:18.180
acknowledge that fact and start taking it seriously. And this in particular is what seems to have
00:46:22.680
angered so many people to the point that some of them are wishing for my death. Although in fairness,
00:46:27.780
most of them were wishing for my death before all of this. So really, it's just icing on the cake.
00:46:31.060
So today, I want to go through and watch some of the angry videos that have been posted responding
00:46:36.200
to my comments on the Metcalf murder. And we'll hear my critics out, find out if maybe they have any
00:46:41.340
legitimate points to make. Let's start with this video from a channel called Political Punk.
00:46:50.240
Look at this tweet, man. If I told you that a young man stabbed another young man to death for
00:46:55.460
telling him he was in the wrong seat, and then I told you that one young man in this altercation
00:47:00.060
was white, and the other black, and then I asked you to guess the race of the assailant,
00:47:05.140
every single person would know the answer immediately, Matt Walsh says.
00:47:10.040
Young black males are violent to a wildly, outrageously disproportionate degree.
00:47:15.960
That's just a fact, he says. We all know it. And it's time we speak honestly about it,
00:47:21.020
or nothing will ever change. Dude, this is like Jim Crow right here, bro.
00:47:26.260
And yet, like every mass shooter is whom? Is a white guy, right? But dude, this is straight up
00:47:42.280
Klan. I mean, it's coming from Matt Walsh, who is basically straight up Klan. But every mass
00:47:51.260
shooter, every one of them, is white. Okay, now the claim that every mass shooter is white is one
00:47:57.100
that will come up again in these clips, so we'll save that for later. It's not remotely true at
00:48:00.740
all. Spoiler alert, but we'll get to that in a few minutes. He says that my point about the
00:48:04.780
disproportionate violence of black males is straight up Klan stuff, but you'll notice what
00:48:08.280
he doesn't say. He doesn't say that I'm wrong. And this is another theme that will emerge when you
00:48:12.420
point out the disproportionate violence of black males. Leftists will get offended. They'll call you
00:48:15.720
names. They'll say you're racist. They'll deflect. They'll talk about white school shooters and mass
00:48:20.060
shooters and so on. But what they won't do, because they can't do it, is present any data
00:48:25.260
that contradicts the claim itself. What they won't do is say, hey, let's look at the numbers. I'm going
00:48:30.520
to show you that young black males are not disproportionately violent. They won't do that
00:48:37.120
because it's just simply the case that black males are disproportionately violent, and they just demand
00:48:42.880
that we don't notice it. And there's a lot that this next person doesn't want us to notice. This is
00:48:49.140
someone calling himself intelligent hood genius, so you know it's going to be good. Let's listen.
00:48:55.220
White people, black people are violent. Black men are violent. I'm trying to, I'm confused. And what
00:49:02.080
clowns like Matt Walsh want to do is just put up a narrative. This ain't got nothing to do with race.
00:49:07.580
This is, this was supposed to, like I said, this is someone who was aggressive, was met with aggression.
00:49:15.300
When you know how to talk, all he had to do was, yo, you don't belong here. You know, da-da-da-da, woo-woo,
00:49:21.360
hey man, you know, this is our thing. This, that, and third. You got to go, man. This is where we,
00:49:27.640
this is where we at. This is our tit or whatever. This is where our stuff at. You know, you don't belong here.
00:49:32.860
You know what I mean? It could have been that simple. It could have been that simple.
00:49:42.060
And maybe the young man would have got up and left, but you don't know that because if you just
00:49:45.980
come out being disrespectful and coming with that aggression, man, you better get your ass away
00:49:50.920
from here. Mother, you better leave. You better move. This is our tit. What the fuck you doing here?
00:49:54.860
Da-da-da-da. Now it's, it's not a, now it's, oh well, make me leave. Since you want to come like you
00:50:01.700
going to, like you going to bully me or something like that. Okay. All right. Well, yeah, yeah. Well,
00:50:06.860
you know what? I'm coming. I'm going to push you out the way. I'm going to push you. And then you
00:50:10.240
come pushing and shoving. Yo, you keep touching me. Put your hands on me. Keep touching. And then I
00:50:14.620
pull, he pull a knife out and stab you in the chest. Now you want to cry wolf. Like I say, on the, in the
00:50:20.220
streets, that's, that's justified. But in the court of law, it's not going to be self-defense. And the young
00:50:27.860
man made a mistake. He made a, he made a mistake. You know what I mean? And he only stabbed him one
00:50:34.020
time. So he was obvious. Wasn't really trying to, you know, he made a mistake and, uh, it was
00:50:41.320
uncalled for and he shouldn't have had that knife with him. Uncalled for. Hmm. Uh, understanding it
00:50:48.480
slightly. Now you say he made a mistake by stabbing Austin. No, sir. A mistake is opening your car door
00:50:54.200
too wide and scratching the car next to you in the parking lot. A mistake is turning a corner in a
00:50:57.600
hallway and bumping into somebody. Stabbing a guy directly in the heart is not a mistake. It's a
00:51:02.520
deliberate and premeditated act of homicide. Um, the fact that he only stabbed him once in the heart is
00:51:09.380
irrelevant. I mean, that's like saying, well, he only cut his head off once, right? It only takes
00:51:14.420
once. Second, you say that stabbing a guy for disrespecting you is justified in the streets.
00:51:20.900
Yes, exactly. That's exactly what I'm talking about. That is precisely the problem. The fact
00:51:30.600
that stabbing a guy and killing him is considered justified in the streets is the entire point that
00:51:37.400
I'm trying to make. Because when you say in the streets, what you really mean is in black culture.
00:51:42.160
Now, because I know you don't mean necessarily in the literal physical streets, although maybe there
00:51:48.420
too, and you're definitely not talking about in the streets of a white upper middle-class
00:51:53.200
neighborhood. No, you're talking about in a black neighborhood, in the streets of a black
00:51:58.040
neighborhood. In a black neighborhood, according to you, it is justified to kill a man for perceived
00:52:03.080
disrespect. Yes, and that's the problem. That's the problem with the streets, isn't it? Next, we have a
00:52:11.260
guy named Alfonso, who I guess, from what I could tell, fashions himself some kind of conservative,
00:52:15.400
but he's very upset with me also and says that I am, in fact, a liability, whatever that means.
00:52:23.560
Matt Walsh is a liability in terms of the so-called race narrative. Okay. Long story short, as far as
00:52:31.080
Matt Walsh is concerned, black folks just have this innate problem of being violent. Okay. That's how
00:52:37.900
Matt Walsh wants you to perceive us. Now, Matt wants to, I guess he's, hey, man, he's the, he's,
00:52:45.840
he's the, the, the authority on, on what it is to be black and how we're supposed to behave. And I'm
00:52:52.660
pretty sure the bell curve satisfies him and stuff like that. But what Matt Walsh fails to point out
00:52:59.300
to y'all is who has control of the black community? Well, that would be the Democrat party. All right.
00:53:06.140
Black folks ain't this way just because it's just something in our genes. I mean, heck, man,
00:53:10.300
if you want, if the, the, the, it's, it's funny how you want to make it out to be that this is a
00:53:14.820
problem with black folks. The world over, you know who they're afraid of the most? White people.
00:53:19.900
They're afraid of white people the most. Uh, I'm not saying that it's justified,
00:53:24.360
but heck man, when you, when you consider the Nazis, uh, when you consider, I don't know,
00:53:30.000
the Vikings, when you consider the KKK that we had here, the, the, the, the, the, uh, the stigma
00:53:36.700
that's on white people, that's something that they did to themselves. Well, um, Alfonso, if you're
00:53:44.920
still worried about a ship full of Vikings showing up and ransacking your village, that's really a you
00:53:51.560
problem. And I'd say the same if you're worried about the Nazis or the KKK. Hey, Alfonso, do you
00:53:57.060
have any examples of the white menace from this century? You gave me one from about 10 centuries
00:54:02.740
ago. And then two others that haven't been relevant since before the middle of the last
00:54:06.760
century. And by the way, if we're blaming white people for the Nazis, we also have to give white
00:54:10.080
people credit for beating the Nazis. So it's basically a wash in that case. Historically speaking,
00:54:15.940
it's just not remotely true that white people have been the most violent or uniquely violent.
00:54:20.480
That is a fantasy that you keep alive in your head, Alfonso, because you've never read a history
00:54:25.700
book in your life. Non-white regions of the world have been very, very violent since the beginning of
00:54:30.260
recorded history and long before that. And by the way, do you know who first abolished slavery?
00:54:35.840
Do you know who in fact abolished slavery over the objections of Africans and Arabs? That would be
00:54:40.940
white Europeans. Now, as for the violence in the black community being the fault of Democrats,
00:54:46.100
I certainly agree that Democrat policies have made everything worse. You will not hear any objections
00:54:50.900
from me on that point. But I noticed that in your analysis of who's to blame for violence in the
00:54:55.160
black community, the one group you seem to have let off the hook is the black community. But we got
00:55:00.540
you talking about Democrats and Vikings, and you're going all the way back a thousand years to look for
00:55:04.780
what about the actual people in these communities? Is it crazy to suggest that perhaps black people are also
00:55:11.540
responsible for violence committed by black people? Is there any connection here at all that you might
00:55:17.920
notice? You just said that, you know, the alleged reputation that white people have for violence is
00:55:25.400
one that we did to ourselves, quote unquote, because of the Vikings a thousand years ago. So let me get
00:55:29.620
this straight. White people are responsible for our supposed reputation for violence, but black people
00:55:34.120
aren't responsible for theirs. I'm more responsible for the raping and pillaging done by Viking warriors in
00:55:39.100
the year 950 AD than the black community is for the raping and pillaging done by black criminals in the
00:55:44.100
current year we're actually living in. Does that make sense to you, Alfonso? If Democrat leaders in predominantly
00:55:51.280
black cities are bad, and they are, who elected them? Who are the voters electing these incompetent people to
00:55:59.320
lead them? If a politician in a predominantly black city runs on a platform of law and order, he will lose. Why is that?
00:56:09.100
Who are the voters who automatically reject any political leader who promises to actually arrest
00:56:14.440
criminals and punish them? And if fatherless homes are a major driver of crime in the black community,
00:56:19.780
and they are, who are the fathers abandoning their families? Who are the mothers going around and
00:56:23.480
sleeping with men that they aren't married to? These are self-inflicted problems. And if you aren't
00:56:27.480
ready to admit that, then you aren't ready to have this conversation at all. And there are many more videos just
00:56:33.760
like the one we already played, but we don't have time to go through all of them. We'll move over to
00:56:37.880
TikTok and look at one or two more. Here's a video from an account that, and I just like this one because
00:56:43.760
the account is called Empathy Wins, but it apparently did not win in this video. Watch.
00:56:48.760
Matt Walsh and all of America know that most school shooters are young white men. Matt Walsh and all of
00:56:54.920
America know that most serial killers in the United States are white men. So much so that our own
00:57:01.640
writers of horror fiction are always casting the slasher in a slasher film as a white man to match
00:57:10.000
the statistics. I'm sorry. Let me see if I have this right. You think that when Hollywood is making
00:57:18.600
slasher horror films, that they are studiously making sure that the proportion of white killers
00:57:24.280
in those movies matches real life crime statistics? That's how you think this works? You think Friday
00:57:30.780
the 13th is a documentary? Well, just to clear things up, no, that's not how it works. Hollywood always
00:57:37.340
casts white men as the killers because if they cast black villains, then people like you will
00:57:43.740
throw a hissy fit. If there was a slasher horror film where you've got a black killer killing white
00:57:51.500
people, people like you would lose your minds. Unless at the end of it, it turns out that the
00:57:56.920
black killer was justified because all the people that he was killing were racist. That's the only
00:58:00.120
time that it would be okay. In reality, according to the Radford University FGCU serial killer database,
00:58:06.240
between the years of 1900 and 2010, 52% of serial killers were white and 40% were black. That means
00:58:12.180
that black people are hugely overrepresented among serial killers and whites are underrepresented,
00:58:17.420
which means that there are more black serial killers per capita than white, actually. In fact,
00:58:21.500
two of the deadliest serial killers this century were the Beltway Snipers,
00:58:25.280
which I remember that well because I lived in that general area when this was happening,
00:58:29.540
shot and killed 17 people in 2002. They were both black. So your facts are just wrong.
00:58:35.300
Uh, there's not much else to say. Let's play one more, uh, so that now we can finally deal with,
00:58:40.900
and because this has come up in almost every video now is the mass shoot, mass shooters,
00:58:44.600
mass shooters, mass shooters are white. So we'll finally deal with that, uh, claim. Watch.
00:58:50.640
Matt Walsh is a bloated, rotten corpse, but he is a perfect reflection of everything wrong with
00:58:56.800
American conservatives and American racists because white people shoot up schools at a larger percentage
00:59:03.620
than anyone else. But if I go around assuming that white culture leads to school shootings,
00:59:10.360
that would be an insane statement to make. But it's not insane that when one boy, teenage boy,
00:59:17.580
stabs another teenage boy to defunct an entire culture of people, that's not insane. White people
00:59:25.200
are the only ones allowed to be individuals who have their own problems and who can be blamed
00:59:30.640
individually for issues because the moment a black person does anything wrong, now the whole black
00:59:36.220
race has to jump in. All right. You know, of course, um, white people are never blamed for anything as
00:59:43.680
a group that never happens. When, when's the last time you heard anyone blame white people as a group?
00:59:47.980
Well, you know, it's like, it's not like blaming white people as a group is the favorite pastime
00:59:52.560
of people like the one in that video there. Um, okay. As for mass shootings, according to a
00:59:57.560
Washington Post database, 38% of mass shooters, 38% are white, which means again, that white people
01:00:07.620
are vastly underrepresented among mass shooters. 29% are black, which means black people are again,
01:00:14.760
greatly overrepresented. There are more black mass shooters per capita than there are white.
01:00:21.720
And get this, if you narrow it down to school shootings in particular, meaning shootings that
01:00:27.280
happen at a school, right? That's a, that's a school shooting, shooting at a school, regardless
01:00:31.920
of the casualty count, shooting at a school. Well, you'll find that according to a 2023 study titled
01:00:36.780
Characteristics and Obtainment Methods of Firearms Used in Adolescent School Shootings,
01:00:39.860
58% of school shooters were black. Only 28% were white. Again, there are more, many more black
01:00:49.620
school shooters per capita than white. In fact, not even per capita with school shooters. There are
01:00:53.660
more black school shooters, period, than white. So those are the facts. Um, and, and, and going back
01:01:02.360
to the, what the, the other video about Hollywood and movies, the fact that everyone assumes that
01:01:08.940
all mass shooters and all school shooters are white, that it's a uniquely white thing or that
01:01:13.640
white people are more likely to be mass shooters or school shooters. People assume that entirely
01:01:18.300
because of Hollywood movies portraying it that way. And because the news media will just ignore
01:01:25.800
mass shootings and even school shootings that are perpetrated by nonwhite people for the most part.
01:01:32.360
So am I accusing black culture of cultivating violence because of one stabbing? No, I'm accusing
01:01:38.960
it of cultivating violence because literally every category of violence, no matter how you break it
01:01:44.040
down, is led by the black community. I'm accusing it of cultivating violence because black people are
01:01:48.220
only 13% of the population, but more than half of all murderers. You know, if only 13% of murder
01:01:53.780
suspects were black, we wouldn't be having this conversation. If it was even 15% or 20%, it probably
01:01:58.500
wouldn't be enough of a disparity to be worth pointing out, but we're not talking about that. We're talking
01:02:02.280
about half, 50%, half from 13% of the population. That is a staggering number. That's historic. It's
01:02:10.260
mind-boggling. It's baffling. It's unprecedented. Now, I wish that the numbers were not like this.
01:02:20.840
Despite how I am portrayed by people like the ones in these videos, I don't want this to be the case.
01:02:30.820
I wish we didn't have to talk about this. I wish it wasn't as bad as this. I wish it wasn't the case
01:02:35.940
that every majority black community in the country is plagued by violent crime. I wish it wasn't the
01:02:39.580
case that as a neighborhood or shopping mall or movie theater or anything attracts more black
01:02:44.760
people. It also, in every case, every time becomes less safe and more crime-ridden. I wish that wasn't
01:02:48.860
true, but it just is true. And you can have the courage to face it, or you can cover your eyes and
01:02:57.600
plug your ears and shout the word racist at anyone who tries to talk about it. The choice is yours.
01:03:04.320
But if you choose the latter, you are choosing more death and more destruction and more misery.
01:03:16.300
That's your choice. At least have the guts to be honest about it. And that's why all the people
01:03:23.200
screaming at me for being honest about these issues are today canceled. That'll do it for the show today.
01:03:30.380
Thanks for watching. Thanks for listening. Have a great day. Talk to you tomorrow. Godspeed.
