The Matt Walsh Show - Ep. 1621 - Mass Immigration Turned Europe Unlivable. America Is Next.

00:00:00.000 Today on the Matt Wall Show, the victory of a Muslim socialist in the Democratic primary in New York has sparked a much-needed conversation about the dangers of mass migration, not just illegal migration, which it turns out isn't the only problem or even the main problem.

00:00:11.840 Also, disgraced former Congressman Jamal Bowman goes on CNN and pulls a Jussie Smollett.

00:00:16.740 And some kids in Atlanta face hate crime charges after destroying a pride flag.

00:00:20.500 Yes, burning an American flag is free speech, but destroying a pride flag is a hate crime, apparently.

00:00:25.180 Talk about all that and more today on the Matt Wall Show.

00:00:30.000 We'll be right back.

00:01:00.000 I can confidently say this is the best 3-in-1 rain jacket I've ever owned.

00:01:04.380 It folds down its own stash pockets as well.

00:01:06.980 It takes up almost no space in your backpack or pocket, and it's a total game-changer in heavy or light rain.

00:01:12.800 This thing is fully waterproof, and that's because it's got fully taped seams, silicone-sealed zips, adjustable cuffs, and the hood is designed to not allow any water near your face.

00:01:22.580 And it's not just any old jacket.

00:01:24.700 It's also got five waterproof pockets, so all of your gear stays dry.

00:01:29.500 Whether you're hiking, fishing, biking, or getting caught in a storm on your morning commute, this is the one crucial rain jacket that you need.

00:01:37.460 And here's the best part.

00:01:38.120 It actually zips into the bearskin hoodie, turning both into a 3-in-1 all-weather system.

00:01:44.240 So your fleece stays warm and dry underneath, and you stay comfortable and dry on the outside.

00:01:50.460 Look, when you order your bearskin rain jacket, you'll get fast delivery and free shipping from within the U.S.

00:01:55.460 To get yours for 60% off, just text MATT to 36912.

00:02:00.680 Even if you're busy right now, text MATT, M-A-T-T, to 36912, and they'll send you a link so you can lock in your discount for later.

00:02:08.760 Don't miss out.

00:02:09.740 So if you go outdoors, rain or shine, text MATT to 36912 and get 60% off the most badass rain jacket on the market.

00:02:19.100 Now that a critical mass of voters in our largest city have decided to support a socialist Muslim rapper from Uganda,

00:02:25.460 who openly despises every founding principal of this country.

00:02:28.640 You're hearing a lot of predictions about what New York might look like in a few years.

00:02:33.080 And they all aim to answer the question, what happens when you eliminate the police department,

00:02:38.060 nationalize the grocery stores, prevent law-abiding citizens from opening firearms,

00:02:42.200 shield millions of illegal aliens from deportations, force taxpayers to fund sex changes for children, 0.88

00:02:47.940 and prevent landlords from raising rent?

00:02:51.680 Well, nothing like it has really been attempted before.

00:02:53.760 You show this platform to even the most dedicated commissar in the Soviet Union,

00:02:58.320 and he'd tell you to go easy on Karl Marx and touch some grass.

00:03:01.400 There's no doubt that New York will be rendered completely uninhabitable if any significant portion of this platform is ever implemented.

00:03:08.060 But all the discussion about Zoran Mamdani and his platform, as deranged as it is, ultimately misses the point.

00:03:16.060 Everyone knows that implementing communism is going to be a disaster.

00:03:19.540 There's no need to belabor that fact.

00:03:21.100 But what's a little less obvious is that everything that's about to happen to New York is the inevitable result of large-scale demographic change caused by legal migration.

00:03:30.840 Yes, legal migration.

00:03:32.660 For all the time we spend on this show and everywhere else discussing the disastrous consequences of allowing illegal aliens to flood into this country, 1.00

00:03:40.600 the fact remains that most foreign nationals don't need to sneak across the border.

00:03:45.560 Instead, over the past several generations, our government has let them in. 0.98

00:03:49.460 That's not to say that all legal migration always has the same effects everywhere in every case.

00:03:55.160 Obviously, that's not true.

00:03:56.600 More than half of the residents of Miami were born outside of the country, for example.

00:04:01.140 Most of them came from Cuba.

00:04:02.460 And nobody would confuse Miami for a dysfunctional socialist dystopia.

00:04:07.000 Miami just overwhelmingly voted for Donald Trump in the last election.

00:04:10.100 After years of supporting Democrats like Hillary Clinton, as recently as 2016, Miami is now a reliably conservative place, at least by voting standards.

00:04:19.500 And there's an obvious reason for that.

00:04:21.680 People fleeing Cuba have no desire to see the same socialist policies implemented in their new country.

00:04:27.360 They see exactly what Democrats are trying to do, and they reject it.

00:04:32.900 But New York City, where nearly half of the residents are now foreign-born, is a very different story.

00:04:38.460 And that's because the vast majority of lawful migrants to New York are not coming from places like Cuba.

00:04:43.980 Instead, they're coming from places like Guinea, Venezuela, Ecuador, Haiti, Senegal, Colombia.

00:04:51.840 Migration from these countries has been a disaster for the United States, and there's no other way to put it. 1.00

00:04:57.140 Several of these countries are in Africa with populations that are around 98% Muslim, which is why the Muslim population in this country has exploded since the 1990s.

00:05:05.840 You can see the data right here.

00:05:07.700 It's a very sudden and sharp increase in the Muslim population in just a generation or so. 1.00

00:05:12.020 And as a result of this increase, as of the latest count a few years ago, New York currently has well over a million Muslims, or roughly 15% of the electorate.

00:05:22.560 And for the most part, these Muslim migrants are fleeing their countries for economic reasons, not ideological ones. 0.68

00:05:30.980 Which means they have no desire to assimilate here. 0.85

00:05:34.220 They don't want to suddenly embrace any of our values.

00:05:36.640 They simply want to take advantage of our economy.

00:05:39.840 But we shouldn't be surprised by what we're seeing in New York or what we're about to see.

00:05:45.360 And that's because this same exact story is played out in several other major cities in the West already.

00:05:51.660 Here's what London looked like in 1961.

00:05:55.340 It was more than 97% white.

00:05:58.320 And it stayed that way for a while.

00:06:00.680 By the 1970s, whites still made up more than 90% of the population in London.

00:06:05.540 As of 1991, whites were down to about 80%.

00:06:08.760 And then very rapidly, demographics began to change.

00:06:12.520 And by 2001, whites were only 59% of London's population.

00:06:16.040 The number continued to drop through 2021, as you can see here.

00:06:19.920 This is the 2021 pie graph.

00:06:22.500 And now white people make up well under 40% of London's population.

00:06:27.280 So from like 98% to 40%, which is a staggering decline.

00:06:32.520 And it's a very close parallel to what's happened in New York City.

00:06:35.460 In 1950, New York was something like 90% white.

00:06:38.720 And then from 1970 to 1980, New York's white population dropped by more than 20%.

00:06:42.880 Now it's down to around 30%.

00:06:46.040 So London's transformation was a little bit more gradual, but it's been, it's just a stark.

00:06:51.280 And keep in mind, as this is happening, it's not like some sort of transfer is going on.

00:06:56.340 White people are not flooding into African countries and taking them over.

00:06:59.920 There aren't millions of British citizens storming into Senegal and winning pivotal elections over there.

00:07:05.520 This is a one-way surge of migration.

00:07:08.480 And most of it has been lawful for the most part.

00:07:12.060 And the effects on London have been catastrophic.

00:07:14.780 By every metric.

00:07:17.540 Here's just one of many indicators.

00:07:19.520 In London, they don't have housing projects.

00:07:21.400 Instead, they have council houses, they call them. 1.00

00:07:23.340 And that's the name for government housing for poor people.

00:07:27.460 Now, if you had to guess, what percentage of these council houses are occupied by foreign nationals

00:07:33.860 who aren't paying any taxes whatsoever?

00:07:35.980 Well, as it turns out, according to a recent estimate, that number is 48%.

00:07:40.600 Here's what that looks like.

00:07:43.360 Yes, one half of the government housing in London, which British citizens pay for,

00:07:48.960 and which is intended for British citizens in a time of emergency,

00:07:51.540 is currently occupied by foreigners, by foreign nationals.

00:07:55.040 In the borough of Brent, which is in northwest London, the number is 61%.

00:08:00.200 Now, the government won't do anything about this because the government has been captured as well.

00:08:05.820 The vast majority of the parliament wants to see more migration, not less.

00:08:09.900 At the moment, only nine of the 75 members of parliament from London are conservatives.

00:08:14.640 London, of course, also has a Muslim mayor.

00:08:16.920 Within the past few years, a lot of other British towns and cities have followed suit.

00:08:21.700 Oldham, Oxford, Sheffield, Brighton, a couple others have all had Muslim mayors in recent years.

00:08:28.620 And here's what some of them look like.

00:08:30.520 Not exactly a very diverse group.

00:08:33.660 But if you question the wisdom of importing so many foreign nationals 1.00

00:08:36.820 that your government becomes unrecognizable,

00:08:39.700 if you do that in London, you'll be thrown in prison.

00:08:43.140 Two years ago in East London, a man was arrested for complaining

00:08:45.840 about the number of Palestinian flags in his neighborhood. 0.98

00:08:49.080 He said, quote, look at this crap here. 0.99

00:08:51.280 You let them into this country and this is the S they come up with. 1.00

00:08:55.860 Within hours, the police announced that they had arrested that guy for saying that,

00:09:00.620 for committing a, quote, racially aggravated Section 5 public order offense.

00:09:06.480 They've also imprisoned several other British citizens for the Orwellian crimes

00:09:10.000 of publishing written material to stir up racial hatred and, quote, false communication.

00:09:16.740 As we discussed recently, one of those citizens was a mother

00:09:19.400 who was just sentenced to several years in prison

00:09:21.760 for a mean tweet about migrant hotels.

00:09:27.580 Now, if you complain about any of this or demonstrate publicly in favor of these political prisoners,

00:09:32.080 then huge numbers of Muslims will gather in the city center in London in a show of force. 0.98

00:09:36.620 That's what happened recently in London following anti-immigrant demonstrations

00:09:39.380 as documented by Andy Ngo.

00:09:41.840 Watch this.

00:10:00.980 Now, you can pretty much pick any major European city and you'll see similar footage.

00:10:05.360 It's getting more and more common as the foreigners keep coming. 1.00

00:10:09.960 Take Paris, for example.

00:10:11.240 More than 40% of the residents of Paris under the age of 20 currently report

00:10:15.140 having at least one parent who was not born in France.

00:10:19.140 And to put it mildly, these foreign nationals aren't doing great things for Paris' tourism industry. 1.00

00:10:26.980 Foreigners commit something like 70% of all violent robberies in Paris. 0.56

00:10:30.820 70%. 0.95

00:10:31.840 They commit more than 90% of thefts, 60% of sexual assaults on public transit.

00:10:39.440 They're responsible for nearly 80% of solved rape cases in Paris.

00:10:44.640 As Nate Hockman has pointed out, you'll find similar statistics in Switzerland.

00:10:48.780 Roughly 30% of Switzerland's population is foreign-born,

00:10:51.280 and yet they're responsible for vastly more crime than their demographics would suggest.

00:10:55.480 Foreigners are responsible for 45% of homicides and 47% of rapes. 1.00

00:11:00.820 Migrants from Afghanistan and Pakistan are three times more likely to be convicted of a crime 0.95

00:11:05.220 compared to the native population.

00:11:07.100 Africans are more than five times more likely.

00:11:10.020 It's the same story in Austria.

00:11:12.080 So let's put that data up on the screen.

00:11:13.520 This has been compiled from various official sources.

00:11:17.020 And as you can see, Afghanistan is very highly represented in the murder category, 0.99

00:11:22.440 really punching above their weight there.

00:11:24.920 Meanwhile, the Polish are pretty well-behaved. 1.00

00:11:27.160 Then you have places like Serbia and Slovenia, who are statistically overrepresented in total crimes.

00:11:32.260 All in all, foreigners account for roughly 40% of all crime in Austria. 0.96

00:11:36.340 The same is true in Spain, where foreign nationals make up less than 15% of the population

00:11:40.540 but are responsible for half the armed robberies and 40% of the rapes.

00:11:46.060 And again, many of these so-called migrants are perfectly legal. 1.00

00:11:49.360 Here's a story from just the other day in the Washington Post.

00:11:53.320 Quote,

00:11:53.780 As Trump shuts down migrants, Spain opens its doors and fuels economic growth.

00:11:58.220 A landmark bill now being negotiated in the Congress of Deputies

00:12:00.960 could grant legal amnesty to hundreds of thousands of migrants,

00:12:04.940 most of them Spanish speakers from predominantly Catholic countries in Latin America.

00:12:08.320 Those newcomers often enjoy visa-free travel to Spain,

00:12:12.000 even as Madrid controversially works with Morocco and other countries

00:12:16.520 to block irregular arrivals from African coasts.

00:12:19.560 Though Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez has also called for tolerance toward migrants

00:12:24.300 fleeing poverty and violence in Africa.

00:12:28.160 Yes, they're calling for tolerance towards irregular arrivals from the African coast,

00:12:33.440 which has to be one of the better euphemisms for foreign invader that you'll hear.

00:12:38.320 But it's a useful illustration of the broader point,

00:12:40.480 which is that all of this violence and social decay, it's all intentional.

00:12:45.960 It takes different forms in all these countries.

00:12:48.500 They all have their own version of Zoran Mamdani.

00:12:51.800 But the end result is the same in every case.

00:12:55.140 As native populations are replaced by foreign nationals from Africa and Central America,

00:13:00.780 countries become unrecognizable and ultimately unlivable.

00:13:04.780 And the process by which these migrants arrive isn't particularly important.

00:13:12.040 I mean, illegal immigration is not the only problem.

00:13:14.160 It's not even the main problem.

00:13:16.160 Many of the vandals who are destroying Western civilization are walking in through the front door.

00:13:21.380 And that's why before more American cities start looking like New York and Los Angeles,

00:13:26.640 we need an immediate ban on virtually all foreign migration, including legal migration in this country. 0.92

00:13:34.460 Countries like France, Britain, Switzerland, Austria have sent very clear signals that we should not follow in their path.

00:13:42.140 And we can either pay attention to those signals or one decaying metropolis at a time,

00:13:48.240 we can suffer the same fate.

00:13:51.380 Now let's get to our five headlines.

00:13:59.060 We're all feeling it.

00:14:00.300 Costs are rising on everything.

00:14:02.260 Gas, groceries, home repairs.

00:14:03.760 And if you're a homeowner, you probably thought,

00:14:05.800 should I call American Financing to refinance and pay off this credit card debt?

00:14:10.260 And you second guess yourself because of that low mortgage rate that you currently have.

00:14:13.680 Well, listen, that low rate, it's not saving you if you're drowning in credit card interest at 25% or more.

00:14:18.960 That's the math that nobody wants to face, but it's costing you thousands of dollars.

00:14:23.920 Here's the truth.

00:14:24.560 If you're only making minimum payments, that debt will follow you for years.

00:14:28.180 And that's why people are calling American Financing, because they're saving customers an average of $800 a month by using their equity to finally break free from credit card debt.

00:14:37.660 You owe it to your family to see what's possible.

00:14:39.460 No upfront fees, no pressure.

00:14:40.960 It costs you nothing to find out what you could save every month.

00:14:43.640 If you start today, you may be able to delay two mortgage payments.

00:14:46.520 Call American Financing to 866-569-4711.

00:14:49.700 That's 866-569-4711.

00:14:52.320 Or visit AmericanFinancing.net slash Walsh.

00:14:56.560 It's been three years since Roe v. Wade was overturned this June 24th.

00:15:00.660 That's the anniversary.

00:15:01.640 And here's what most people don't realize.

00:15:03.440 Abortion numbers have actually reached a 10-year high.

00:15:06.260 The landscape has completely shifted, though.

00:15:08.320 Over 60% of abortions now happen at home with medication, drugs, often with women going through this alone without fully understanding what's ahead.

00:15:18.580 And that's where pre-born network clinics step in. 0.84

00:15:21.540 They're seeing young mothers who were told this would be simple, but the reality is heartbreaking.

00:15:26.080 Many go through this traumatic experience discovering that what they were told was just tissue, quote-unquote, looks very different from what they expected because it is, in fact, a living child.

00:15:36.220 11% face serious health complications, and countless others carry emotional scars.

00:15:43.240 And, of course, in 100% of cases, a child is killed, which is the greatest tragedy of all.

00:15:48.300 When you support pre-born, you're helping both mothers and babies.

00:15:51.220 They provide hope, support, and truth when it's needed most.

00:15:54.100 They've already rescued over 350,000 babies, but so many more need help.

00:15:58.380 Pre-born clinics offer free ultrasounds, counseling, and practical resources like baby supplies and financial assistance.

00:16:04.720 When a scared young woman walks through the doors, she finds people who genuinely care about her future and her baby's life.

00:16:10.780 To donate, call pound 250 and say baby, or visit preborn.com slash Walsh.

00:16:16.100 Your tax-deductible gift makes this life-saving work possible.

00:16:19.740 Again, that's preborn.com slash Walsh.

00:16:22.860 Okay, a little more on the New York City mayor race.

00:16:26.600 On CNN, they were talking about the Islamophobic attacks on Zoran, attacks from, quote-unquote, MAGA stars.

00:16:36.460 And Jamal Bowman, a fire alarm enthusiast, was on the panel where he proceeded to have a bit of a meltdown.

00:16:42.040 You can understand why.

00:16:42.880 I mean, Jamal Bowman, things are not going well for Jamal.

00:16:45.900 He was voted out of Congress in disgrace, and now he is completely irrelevant, and he's very frustrated by that.

00:16:54.620 He's lashing out, looking for some attention.

00:16:57.080 And so here's what he said.

00:16:59.200 Listen.

00:17:00.460 And the problem is we are not dealing with America's original sin and its disease of hate and racism towards black and brown people, 0.72

00:17:10.140 and sexism towards women and anti-LGBTQ sentiment.

00:17:14.740 We are not dealing with that.

00:17:16.360 Your colleagues in the Republican Party do not hold each other accountable when it comes to the racism that comes from the party on a consistent basis.

00:17:26.140 Congressman, I mean, where are you on the assassination?

00:17:27.800 You can't be calm about this.

00:17:30.100 I'm a black man in America.

00:17:31.940 The reason why heart disease... 0.90

00:17:33.060 I'm white.

00:17:33.340 I can't comment on it.

00:17:33.820 Listen to what I'm saying.

00:17:34.640 The reason why heart disease and cancer and obesity and diabetes are bigger in the black community is because of the stress we carry from having to deal with being called the N-word directly or indirectly every day.

00:17:48.540 If your colleagues would listen and try to learn and engage and grow and stop being so hateful, we could have a better country.

00:17:58.440 All right, so that was mostly incoherent.

00:18:01.560 He just starts throwing everything against the wall.

00:18:05.660 You know, one thing...

00:18:06.600 He's bringing up Rodney King and lynchings in the 1920s and January 6th.

00:18:11.460 Like, just everything.

00:18:13.540 So it's...

00:18:14.960 You know, you listen to this guy.

00:18:16.040 It's a little bit like...

00:18:17.000 It reminds you a little bit of arguing with a woman. 0.96

00:18:19.740 No offense to women, but, you know, women can never stay on one topic. 1.00

00:18:23.720 You start by arguing about something that happened five seconds ago.

00:18:26.080 Next thing you know, you're re-litigating an argument that you had in 2007 or something.

00:18:29.760 So something similar is happening here, but let's go back to his initial claim.

00:18:34.140 He said, he said, I'm a black man in America. 0.83

00:18:36.980 The reason why heart disease and cancer and obesity and diabetes are bigger in the black community 1.00

00:18:40.720 is because of the stress we carry from having to deal with being called the N-word. 0.82

00:18:47.620 Now, we're going to assume he's referring to white people calling black people the N-word. 0.96

00:18:52.500 That's what causes cancer. 1.00

00:18:53.720 It's like breaking news here.

00:18:56.560 It's a breaking medical news here today.

00:19:00.440 The N-word causes cancer.

00:19:03.360 But presumably, the cancer-causing N-word is only that which is uttered out of the mouth of a white person. 0.98

00:19:11.360 Because, of course, black people are called the N-word every day, a thousand times a day, by other black people. 0.96

00:19:15.880 So if that causes cancer, then the cancer rate in the black community would be like 100%. 0.99

00:19:21.180 But I assume that he means that a black person be called the N-word by a white person is what causes cancer. 0.98

00:19:26.760 That's what he's saying. 0.98

00:19:28.580 And if that's the case, that's actually great news.

00:19:30.880 Because that would mean that the cancer rate in the black community should be like 0%.

00:19:36.460 Considering that the average black person can go his entire life in this country and never once be called the N-word by a white person.

00:19:44.860 Like, you go your whole life and it would never happen.

00:19:47.420 So if that's the primary cause of mortality for black people, then I guess that's immortality, basically. 1.00

00:19:56.520 Unfortunately, though, Bowman is obviously making all this up. 0.98

00:19:59.280 It's total nonsense, of course. 0.60

00:20:01.300 And you knew it was going to be nonsense. 0.90

00:20:05.620 Well, the moment that Jamal Bowman opens his mouth to say anything, you know that what follows will be nonsense. 0.58

00:20:11.580 But especially whenever a statement begins with, I'm a black man in America.

00:20:19.820 And I'm not sure if any studies have been done on this, but I would wager that if you looked at it,

00:20:25.480 if you were to find every case in the last 30 years of someone starting a sentence by saying,

00:20:32.180 I'm a black man in America, like 97% of the time when someone starts a sentence that way,

00:20:37.600 whatever follows after that will be some mixture of lies and nonsense and irrelevant personal complaints.

00:20:44.120 That's just the way it always works.

00:20:46.920 97% of the time studies have shown, I assume.

00:20:51.540 We haven't even made it to the best part because there's, well, there's actually two other clips from this very same segment. 1.00

00:20:56.820 This was a ripe segment, a segment ripe with stupidity. 0.99

00:21:01.780 So here's Bowman again. 1.00

00:21:03.880 I think this is continuing on the same rant.

00:21:06.080 And this time with a little bit of a Jussie Flair, Jussie Smollett Flair thrown in.

00:21:12.520 Listen.

00:21:13.620 I don't want to fight.

00:21:14.820 I just want to chill.

00:21:16.480 I just want to not.

00:21:17.380 I was in, I was walking down the street the other day.

00:21:19.420 Some white dude, bald head tilt. 1.00

00:21:21.300 He looked me, called me a piece of shit in my face. 1.00

00:21:23.680 Said, I'm going to get what's coming to me. 1.00

00:21:25.820 Why did I deal with that, dog?

00:21:27.360 In Yonkers, New York.

00:21:29.180 Well, can I tell you something?

00:21:30.060 I'm not making that up.

00:21:31.260 Stephen Miller needs to remember.

00:21:32.700 Okay, first of all, even if that happened, what does that have to do with anything?

00:21:39.920 I mean, you're supposed to be having a debate about the mayoral race and here you are crying because some random person was mean to you.

00:21:48.040 An incident that along with being totally irrelevant is also, of course, imaginary.

00:21:53.160 Because in order for us to believe that this happened, we would have to believe two things.

00:21:57.380 First, that somebody recognized Jamal Bowman walking down the street.

00:22:01.140 And second, that Jamal Bowman was verbally harassed by a white person and didn't pull out his phone immediately to document it.

00:22:11.440 Now, the first part of that that he was recognized is difficult to believe.

00:22:14.460 The second part is impossible to believe.

00:22:16.080 It is impossible to believe that a guy like Jamal Bowman could have an experience like that and not immediately pull out his phone and take full advantage of it.

00:22:25.240 I mean, Jamal lives every day of his life, he lives fantasizing about a moment like this.

00:22:32.960 About a moment of being accosted on the street randomly by a white guy.

00:22:36.760 This is, that is his dream come true.

00:22:39.620 He wants nothing more than for that to happen.

00:22:42.000 Every day he wakes up and prays, prays that this will happen.

00:22:46.460 And we're supposed to believe that it actually did happen and he wasn't ready.

00:22:50.660 Like, this guy walks down the street, he got his phone in his hand, just waiting, praying for this to happen.

00:22:58.080 And yet, it happened and he forgot to record it.

00:23:01.660 I mean, that would be tragic.

00:23:02.740 That's actually tragic.

00:23:04.800 And it also just didn't happen.

00:23:07.920 There was one other quick moment from this same panel.

00:23:10.080 One of my producers caught this and flagged it for me.

00:23:13.940 Here it is, listen.

00:23:14.740 I think this is just one of another example of a trend of the Trump administration and his proxies, othering people with their language, right?

00:23:23.280 You saw Vice President call Senator Padilla, Jose Padilla, intentionally.

00:23:28.340 You saw President Trump has previously asked Asian staffers, where are you really from?

00:23:33.520 Matt Walsh, another proxy for President Trump, made an implication that because of significant percentage of people in New York are foreign born, that it's not an American city anymore.

00:23:42.920 This is an administration that has vilified the word diversity.

00:23:46.680 Yeah, that's right.

00:23:47.520 I'm a Trump proxy, I have learned from CNN.

00:23:53.320 Unfortunately, I am, like, the worst Trump proxy in the world.

00:23:57.540 They really, like, they're not getting their money's worth from me as a proxy because, I mean, I just spent the last week vocally disagreeing with Trump on the Iran situation.

00:24:07.440 In fact, I vocally disagree with Trump all the time, and I'm never shy about saying it.

00:24:12.780 So, I don't know, I really should, I should be fired from my proxy job, but somehow they keep me employed.

00:24:19.240 I don't know why.

00:24:20.620 And, by the way, the Trump administration did not vilify the term diversity.

00:24:25.700 That's not what the Trump administration, it's been vilified in the minds of most normal people for much longer than that.

00:24:32.960 And why is that?

00:24:34.020 Well, because we've noticed that diversity is code every single time for deliberately making things less white. 0.65

00:24:42.740 That's all it is.

00:24:43.420 Diversity is, it's just an agenda to minimize white people. 0.98

00:24:52.800 That's all the, which is why, which is why you will never, ever hear the left celebrate diversity when a majority black place or institution or town becomes more white. 0.92

00:25:04.780 Even though that means that it's becoming more diverse, like, definitionally, but they, no, in that case, that's gentrification, and that's something to be mourned. 0.69

00:25:15.760 Because diversity only goes one way.

00:25:17.300 That's why they talk about, they talk about diverse people.

00:25:21.060 Right?

00:25:21.640 A diverse person.

00:25:23.700 Even an individual person can be diverse.

00:25:26.020 Well, how is that possible?

00:25:26.940 Well, because diverse just means not white.

00:25:30.200 That's all it means.

00:25:31.040 Walk into a room with 100% black people, and it's a diverse room, you'll be told.

00:25:39.700 Walk into a room with 100% white people, and it's not diverse. 0.79

00:25:42.520 Walk into a room with 100% black people, and you are a white person, and you have somehow made the room less diverse. 0.95

00:25:49.540 Okay? 0.76

00:25:50.140 This is what, but if you walk into a room with 100% white people, and you're a black person, you've made it more diverse.

00:25:53.980 So that's the way the word is used, and that's all that it means, pretty clearly.

00:25:57.820 All right, let's, we'll get off the subject of the mayor race in New York soon, but I wanted to cover this also, which is related.

00:26:07.260 So there's this guy, Sneeko, who's a, I guess, a relatively well-known streamer, Gen Z streamer guy.

00:26:16.980 He's supposedly right-wing, even far-right, we're told.

00:26:21.400 And yet, he was really happy that Zoran Mamdani, a foreign socialist, won the primary.

00:26:29.300 And there are certain corners of the internet that, where you're seeing this.

00:26:36.320 People who claim to be, not even just like conservative, but far-right, are happy about this.

00:26:42.560 A foreign socialist winning the primary.

00:26:47.280 It seems kind of odd.

00:26:50.600 Well, here he is explaining why he thinks it's a good thing.

00:26:53.860 Hey, didn't see you there.

00:26:55.320 Congrats, though, to Zoran Mamdani.

00:26:57.160 It's not over yet, but it's looking like he won the mayoral race in New York City.

00:27:01.300 We are all over every borough today, seeing people super excited to go out and vote.

00:27:04.840 I supported him because he's the only non-Zionist candidate on that stage.

00:27:08.360 I thought you needed to be bought and sold, but people are energetic.

00:27:10.980 People are tired of the Zionism. 0.97

00:27:12.740 And I'm excited to see what he's got.

00:27:13.880 I'm not a socialist myself.

00:27:15.060 I don't want everyone to be a communist getting free stuff, but I think he has some cool ideas.

00:27:19.660 Hopefully he can do the best, man, and wish you the best of luck.

00:27:22.220 If you do win, New York is with you, and we want you to do well, man.

00:27:27.620 Now, this happened across my feed, and I responded to that.

00:27:31.220 And I said, kind of with sort of the obvious response, and I said, 0.95

00:27:36.040 he's an anti-American foreigner who wants to castrate children with tax money. 1.00

00:27:39.820 You absolute moron. 1.00

00:27:41.100 You know, not the most polite response on my part, I'll admit, kind of rude, but yet fully deserved. 1.00

00:27:49.140 This guy pretends to be right-wing conservative, and here he is supporting the most left-wing

00:27:53.180 mayoral candidate for a major American city, like, ever.

00:27:57.700 A candidate who wants to abolish the police department, which is bad enough,

00:28:02.060 but he wants to do it in the name of queer liberation, okay? 1.00

00:28:07.260 So that's what you're supporting, which makes him a moron at best. 1.00

00:28:10.380 I'm actually being, that's a generous interpretation to say that he's being a moron. 1.00

00:28:15.540 And so Sneeko shot back with a devastating comeback. 0.99

00:28:19.640 I've never heard this one before.

00:28:20.620 Get ready for it.

00:28:21.280 He responded and wrote, quote,

00:28:23.000 And, you know, I said that he's dodging the point, trying to get him to answer whether

00:28:29.420 he actually agrees with Momdani's actual platform, his far-left socialist platform.

00:28:34.660 That's the point here.

00:28:36.000 Kept dodging and evading, and then he finally responded with this video.

00:28:40.380 Watch.

00:28:41.280 I'm very excited to see what Zoran does in the next coming months.

00:28:44.720 It's like the most controversial subject on X on Twitter right now.

00:28:48.960 Matt Walsh was talking, called me a, what did Matt Walsh call me? 1.00

00:28:53.540 He called me an absolute moron. 1.00

00:28:55.780 But he's bought and sold by Ben Shapiro. 1.00

00:28:58.440 Matt Walsh, you can't talk about foreigners when you're owned by a foreigner. 0.99

00:29:03.340 Your boss is literally a Mossad spy.

00:29:06.100 So before you complain, I don't agree with Momdani saying defund the police.

00:29:10.120 I don't agree with his socialist takes.

00:29:12.100 I don't agree with, you know, him supporting transgenders and surgeries for children. 1.00

00:29:16.480 If he does, you know, I'm completely against that.

00:29:18.740 But the most important issue to me is somebody who's anti-Zionist right now.

00:29:22.760 And if he's a real New Yorker and he has a vision for this city that aligns with a lot

00:29:26.860 of the people, then I wish him the best of luck.

00:29:28.660 Does it make me a socialist?

00:29:29.620 No.

00:29:29.820 Does that make me a queer liberationist?

00:29:31.640 No. 0.99

00:29:31.820 But I think Matt Walsh should shut the f*** up. 0.99

00:29:33.780 Quit your job. 1.00

00:29:34.440 If you're going to talk about foreigners, stop working for an Israeli spy. 0.98

00:29:37.560 All right.

00:29:37.860 Then we can have this conversation.

00:29:39.460 And right now, it just seems like a whole bunch of yap yap. 1.00

00:29:41.380 So, yeah, like I said, moron, guy's got the intellect of a caterpillar. 0.99

00:29:46.420 So it's probably not worth engaging, but I will anyway. 1.00

00:29:49.900 And we're not going to waste time on the your boss is Ben Shapiro thing.

00:29:53.360 I mean, Ben is not a foreigner. 0.99

00:29:55.080 First of all, he was born in America.

00:29:56.580 Also, he's not my boss.

00:29:59.160 And anyone who listens to the show can easily tell that nobody has any influence over anything

00:30:04.280 that I say on the show except me.

00:30:06.940 Ben and I disagree very much on plenty of things, mostly foreign policy related.

00:30:12.400 And I am not shy about expressing those views.

00:30:16.240 And any honest person knows that, which you don't have to take my word for it.

00:30:19.060 Just like listen to the show and especially this last week.

00:30:22.860 And you will you'll see it for yourself.

00:30:24.760 But more importantly, he says that he doesn't agree with Zoran socialist views or his plan

00:30:30.860 to castrate kids with tax money or to nationalize grocery stores or abolish the police or queer 1.00

00:30:34.520 liberation.

00:30:35.500 And yet he says he agrees with his vision for the city because Zoran is a real New Yorker.

00:30:43.620 But his vision for the city is comprised of all the things you said you disagree with.

00:30:49.380 His vision for the city is his platform.

00:30:51.780 His platform is nationalize the grocery stores, abolish the police, queer liberation, 0.59

00:30:57.540 60 million dollars to castrate kids with tax money, et cetera, et cetera, and so forth.

00:31:01.420 OK.

00:31:03.180 So that is the vision of the city.

00:31:04.980 You said you don't agree with that, but yet you like his vision for the city.

00:31:08.140 How does that make sense?

00:31:10.080 And how can he be a real New Yorker when he's from Uganda? 1.00

00:31:13.040 He's been a U.S.

00:31:13.800 citizen for such a short period of time that he's not even eligible legally to run for Senate in this country.

00:31:19.220 And yet you want him to run the most populous city in the country.

00:31:25.420 How does that work?

00:31:26.440 Well, we all we know how that all works.

00:31:29.320 It doesn't work.

00:31:30.380 It doesn't make sense.

00:31:31.840 But for guys like Sneeko, who pretend to be America first, all that actually matters is Israel.

00:31:37.880 That's all that matters to these guys.

00:31:42.580 So Zoran, who's running for mayor.

00:31:47.200 OK, like he's running for mayor.

00:31:50.200 He's not running even for for, you know, he's not running for president.

00:31:54.200 He's not foreign policy for the mayor is not something that should really factor in.

00:31:59.380 But he doesn't like Israel.

00:32:01.480 Zoran doesn't.

00:32:02.660 And that's all that matters to Sneeko and his ilk.

00:32:08.360 And it's interesting because what that shows you is that guys like this.

00:32:13.560 Sneeko are are themselves Israel first from a different direction. 1.00

00:32:20.060 Because that's all they care about.

00:32:22.000 That's all they care about.

00:32:25.700 Israel first is a real thing. 0.92

00:32:27.480 There are people who are Israel first. 0.91

00:32:29.380 But there are two ways to be Israel first. 0.80

00:32:32.160 And one way is we heard it from who was it?

00:32:34.700 Tammy Bruce, state state department spokeswoman who said that, oh, America is the greatest country in the world next to Israel.

00:32:44.140 And there's people in the comments.

00:32:45.360 We talked about a few days ago, people in the comments saying, oh, you're you're being unfair to her. 0.91

00:32:49.020 Next to just means alongside of.

00:32:52.380 Which, by the way, even that would be a problem.

00:32:54.720 OK, you're an American and you work for the government.

00:32:58.460 You need to think unequivocally that we are the greatest country in the world to put even any other country on the same pedestal as us would be a huge problem.

00:33:07.120 But next to means second to.

00:33:09.860 That's what it means.

00:33:10.440 But the definition of the term, look it up.

00:33:12.480 It means second to.

00:33:13.900 So.

00:33:15.600 That's someone who is Israel first by her own testimony, by her own testimony. 0.84

00:33:19.400 She she puts Israel first and then America second.

00:33:22.460 So that that's Israel first. 0.97

00:33:24.000 Yeah, that that exists.

00:33:26.160 And that's a problem.

00:33:27.160 If you put any country other than our own before ours and you're an American, much less an American public official or politician, that's a huge problem.

00:33:38.840 Ilhan Omar is Somalia first. 0.74

00:33:43.060 We've talked about that on the show many times.

00:33:45.160 The things that she said, she's more proud of Somalia.

00:33:46.880 She likes Somalia.

00:33:47.620 She's she is here to work for the interests of Somalia.

00:33:50.640 And she's been very clear about that.

00:33:51.680 She's been very open about it.

00:33:53.160 Pramila Jayapal came here from she's from India, I believe.

00:33:59.260 And she came here and she said that her primary goal is to work for the interests of immigrants.

00:34:04.740 To work for foreigners, not this country. 1.00

00:34:06.740 I'll call all that stuff out.

00:34:09.340 And if you're putting Israel before America, I'll call that out, too. 0.97

00:34:11.880 I got no problem calling that out.

00:34:15.180 But then you have Israel first from the other direction. 0.94

00:34:19.660 From the kind of negative direction.

00:34:21.740 Where someone like Sneeko, it all he cares about is Israel in a negative way.

00:34:30.240 Which is why he will vote for a candidate for mayor, even though he allegedly disagrees with the guy's entire platform, his whole domestic agenda, everything he plans to do to the community where you live.

00:34:41.200 And you will still vote for him because if he'll stand up and say, I don't like Israel. 0.98

00:34:46.700 He could say, let's castrate kids.

00:34:49.340 We'll pay for it with tax money.

00:34:50.820 Abolish the police department.

00:34:52.420 Get rid of the grocery stores.

00:34:54.120 Breadlines, anarchy, lawlessness. 0.84

00:34:56.460 Oh, and also, I don't like Israel. 1.00

00:35:00.520 And you, like a moron, will sit there and say, oh, well, he's my guy then. 0.99

00:35:05.220 Because of his view about this foreign country that's not even relevant to what his job is as mayor of the town. 0.99

00:35:11.300 So, that is also Israel first from a different direction. 0.81

00:35:17.920 And it's totally absurd.

00:35:21.200 And so, don't call yourself America first. 0.99

00:35:22.980 You don't give a shit about this country, as you have made very clear. 0.99

00:35:27.520 So, get the term America first out of your mouth. 0.99

00:35:29.940 You are not America first.

00:35:31.140 You need to vote for a foreign socialist Ugandan to run the biggest city in the country. 0.98

00:35:39.380 And then you call yourself America first.

00:35:40.680 Give me a break.

00:35:42.780 Okay.

00:35:43.220 One other thing.

00:35:46.420 Update to a story we followed very closely here.

00:35:50.600 Collin County District Attorney Greg Willis announced the results of the grand jury indictment in the Carmelo Anthony case.

00:35:58.600 Carmelo Anthony, of course, is the guy who stabbed Austin Metcalf to death.

00:36:00.920 We follow that story very closely.

00:36:02.800 And here is Greg Willis announcing the grand jury's decision a couple days ago.

00:36:08.660 Listen.

00:36:09.820 Good afternoon.

00:36:11.000 Earlier this spring, our community was shaken by what happened at a school track meet in Frisco.

00:36:15.760 The violent laws of 17-year-old Austin Metcalf.

00:36:19.360 For weeks now, my team has been presenting evidence to the grand jury.

00:36:22.560 And today, I summarized that evidence.

00:36:24.320 And I asked the grand jury to return a first-degree murder indictment against Carmelo Anthony, which they did.

00:36:31.160 With this indictment, the case now moves formally into the court system.

00:36:35.340 From this point forward, we'll continue doing our job both fully and fairly to pursue justice under the law.

00:36:41.060 As for the scheduling of the trial, that will be up to the court.

00:36:44.100 But when the time comes, we will be ready.

00:36:46.260 Now, we know that this case has struck a deep nerve here in Collin County and beyond.

00:36:52.760 And that's understandable.

00:36:54.160 When something like this happens at a school event, it shakes people to the core.

00:36:58.100 But let's remember that the justice system works best when it moves with steadiness and principle.

00:37:04.900 That's what we're committed to, and that's what this case deserves.

00:37:08.720 We're also mindful of Austin's family and everyone who loved him.

00:37:12.520 Please keep them in your thoughts, and if you're willing, your prayers as well.

00:37:16.360 Finally, let's remember that a defendant is presumed innocent and less than until proven guilty in a court of law.

00:37:22.380 So, first-degree murder charge, what does that mean?

00:37:27.500 It means this is a slam-dunk case.

00:37:30.100 It means the self-defense claim is completely bogus, which any intelligent person already knew that.

00:37:35.880 They're not going to seek, much less would they get, a first-degree murder charge unless they have this guy dead to rights, which they do.

00:37:43.360 There's a lot of evidence here.

00:37:44.760 First of all, there's the fact that the killer confessed to it right away.

00:37:47.780 So, that's a pretty big deal.

00:37:50.360 He stabbed someone to death.

00:37:51.520 He stabbed someone in the heart and confessed to the cops.

00:37:53.860 Said, I did it.

00:37:56.480 And they have eyewitnesses.

00:37:58.260 There were people all around.

00:37:59.880 And they have video.

00:38:02.200 And we don't know exactly how much video they have, how many videos there are, how much footage there is.

00:38:09.220 But we know they do have video.

00:38:11.060 The odd thing, though, is that we haven't seen any of the video.

00:38:15.080 There were security cameras.

00:38:17.780 At this track meet.

00:38:19.480 There were people all around.

00:38:21.360 All of them obviously had phones.

00:38:23.740 And yet we've seen no footage from this incident.

00:38:26.020 Not even footage after the incident.

00:38:27.840 I mean, are you really going to tell me that?

00:38:31.160 It's possible that nobody caught the actual stabbing itself on their phone.

00:38:36.960 That's possible.

00:38:38.060 Even that, I would expect somebody did.

00:38:41.420 But are you telling me that nobody in the immediate aftermath pulled out their phone and filmed anything?

00:38:47.780 I mean, it would be the first time in the last, like, 20 years where there's been some kind of dramatic incident and people were around with phones and no one at any point pulled their phone out.

00:39:00.640 That's hard to believe.

00:39:01.540 We do know, though, that for sure that they have the surveillance footage, which was so that was released about a week ago, sort of released.

00:39:11.740 There was a very small collection of journalists who were permitted to watch it and report on what they saw.

00:39:17.920 But they couldn't record it.

00:39:19.340 They couldn't publish the video.

00:39:20.520 They could just watch it and describe it.

00:39:23.180 And the Daily Mail was there.

00:39:26.420 They were one of the select few outlets that were allowed to see this.

00:39:29.740 And I'm going to read a little bit of their write-up.

00:39:31.380 This is from a few days ago.

00:39:32.800 It says,

00:40:02.800 Initially, Frisco police said an altercation between the teens led to the violent encounter.

00:40:12.800 However, the footage reviewed by the Daily Mail at the Frisco Independent School District's headquarters shows no obvious physical confrontation between the two prior to the stabbing.

00:40:20.480 The Daily Mail did not detect anything that indicated chaos was about to ensue.

00:40:25.620 Then, seemingly out of nowhere, it becomes apparent that the moment has happened when an armed Anthony attacked Metcalf.

00:40:31.880 The stabbing itself is not visible on camera.

00:40:33.640 While other video angles may exist, the surveillance reviewed appears to challenge the self-defense claim, offering little visible evidence that Anthony was in immediate danger before the attack.

00:40:44.100 So, there you go.

00:40:49.140 We still haven't seen the footage ourselves, but the Daily Mail saw it.

00:40:55.260 I don't know why they're doing it this way.

00:40:58.660 And why they'd only invite two news outlets to view the footage.

00:41:06.060 And, you know, they say there's no indication of self-defense.

00:41:09.480 No indication that Anthony was in any kind of physical danger at all.

00:41:13.140 Because, of course, he wasn't.

00:41:15.080 Of course, he wasn't.

00:41:17.120 What happened here was very clear from the beginning.

00:41:19.820 Anthony went into a tent where he didn't belong.

00:41:21.780 When he was told to leave, he responded to that by stabbing Austin Metcalf to death.

00:41:29.060 The idea that he could have legitimately feared for his life at a track meet, when he has decided to walk into this tent, like, he could, it's a tent, right?

00:41:40.640 You can, it's, you could walk away from it.

00:41:44.500 There are countless angles where you could leave the tent, right?

00:41:50.840 So, the claim never made any sense.

00:41:54.500 So, he's in fear for his life, but he's walked in, he's come to this tent, he's told to leave, and he fears for his life.

00:42:02.340 But rather than just leave the tent, he stays, and he's the only one who's armed in this encounter, and yet he's the one who fears for his life.

00:42:14.520 What is he, what's he worried is going to happen?

00:42:16.700 He thinks the, he thinks the opposing track team is going to gang up and, like, kill him?

00:42:21.760 Is that what he thinks?

00:42:22.940 No, of course not.

00:42:24.760 So, why did he stab him?

00:42:27.460 Well, for the same reason that people are killed every day, in the inner city in particular.

00:42:33.600 Which is for no reason.

00:42:35.740 Just pure nihilistic violence for the sake of it.

00:42:38.760 That's why. 0.99

00:42:41.260 And the fact is that black teens like Carmelo Anthony commit violence like that all the time. 0.98

00:42:46.700 Right? 0.69

00:42:47.100 Like, that's, it's, and here's the truth, and we all know this, that if you're in a situation, like, again, this is one of those things.

00:42:56.080 So many cases where we're all supposed to pretend we don't know things that we actually know.

00:43:00.480 Or we're supposed to act confused about things.

00:43:03.760 Well, what do you mean?

00:43:04.740 What, he just stabbed him?

00:43:06.740 What, this, so this young man was told to leave a tent?

00:43:09.280 Are you claiming that he would just respond violently to that?

00:43:11.940 Well, yeah, exactly.

00:43:15.100 Like, that's exactly what happened.

00:43:16.600 And we all know that.

00:43:18.080 I mean, if you go up to a young black male who's being disruptive in some way, or he's somewhere he's not supposed to be, and you tell him to please quiet down or to leave, there's a chance that he responds with violence. 0.51

00:43:31.600 Like, not in self-defense, not because he thinks his life is in danger, but just because, just to prove how tough he is, just to inflict violence for the sake of it.

00:43:43.520 Right, we all know that.

00:43:46.700 Which is why, in so many cases, in similar sorts of situations, you know, the white people around, in many cases, are not going to say anything.

00:43:56.280 Because they're worried about this exact kind of response.

00:43:59.900 And they're not worried because they're racist.

00:44:02.100 They're worried because they're capable of basic pattern recognition.

00:44:05.300 They know, they have some basic idea of the data, the statistics. 0.79

00:44:09.240 Like, statistically, young black males are more violent than any other demographic group. 1.00

00:44:13.780 Everyone just knows that. 0.97

00:44:18.820 If you have a group of black teens in a movie theater who are being loud and disruptive, like, very often, if you've got white people around, they're not, they are going to be very hesitant to say anything. 0.99

00:44:29.880 Just, hey, can you guys quiet down?

00:44:31.760 Because they're worried about exactly this kind of response.

00:44:36.660 And is that fear baseless?

00:44:38.160 No, of course it's not.

00:44:40.160 So, that's what happened here.

00:44:44.320 Which makes it first-degree murder, and that's the charge.

00:44:47.100 And yet, this guy is currently out on bail.

00:44:51.240 Okay, this is pretty rare.

00:44:54.660 You have someone on a first-degree murder charge who's facing life in prison and is out on bail right now.

00:45:01.380 And why would that be rare?

00:45:04.440 Well, because the flight risk now is monumental.

00:45:09.240 This guy is facing the very real likelihood, what should be basically a certainty, that he's going to prison for the rest of his life.

00:45:19.820 Now he's got nothing to lose.

00:45:21.780 And on top of that, this family has just been gifted half a million dollars.

00:45:25.220 So, the flight risk is very, very high right now.

00:45:30.640 And yet, he's currently out on bail.

00:45:32.220 So, the whole thing just makes no sense at all.

00:47:06.900 Now let's get to our daily cancellation.

00:47:08.020 For a very long time, I've made my position clear on the entire concept of hate crimes.

00:47:18.980 As a category, hate crimes don't make any sense at all.

00:47:21.960 A large number of crimes are motivated by hatred in some capacity or another.

00:47:26.320 People don't generally murder or assault other people because they love them, after all.

00:47:29.920 So really, hate crime means, in practice, that the perpetrator demonstrated hatred, supposedly, towards a certain demographic,

00:47:38.220 which, for political reasons, is somehow entitled to more protections than the rest of us.

00:47:42.120 That's how hate crimes, that's what it actually means.

00:47:44.720 That's one of the obvious issues with hate crimes.

00:47:46.960 Another issue is that, as we discussed in detail a couple years ago,

00:47:50.460 police departments often have to make very subjective judgments about what constitutes a hate crime.

00:47:55.560 Typically, if somebody reports an anti-Black or anti-Muslim hate crime, even if there's no proof,

00:48:00.640 it winds up in the statistics.

00:48:02.560 No need for a trial or anything.

00:48:05.200 But if an Asian person or a white person is beaten,

00:48:07.960 it's usually just chalked up as a random act of violence and everybody goes about their day.

00:48:12.640 All that's to say, I don't need really another reason to reject the entire category of hate crimes.

00:48:18.340 It's such a pointless and cynical concept that it didn't seem possible to discredit it any more than it's already been discredited.

00:48:24.100 And then I came across this story.

00:48:27.840 Watch.

00:48:28.960 Well, tonight, a group of teens is facing possible hate crime charges

00:48:32.300 after Atlanta police say they vandalized pride flags in Midtown.

00:48:35.900 That's right.

00:48:36.300 So we know that police arrested four of the teens at the scene overnight,

00:48:39.640 but are asking the public to help them find the other two.

00:48:43.180 And as 11 Olajah's Gilat Malamud reports,

00:48:45.100 the incident has some community members heartbroken and disturbed.

00:48:48.760 Circling one of the city's most recognizable symbols of LGBTQ pride,

00:48:53.720 Atlanta police say this group of teenagers used knives to destroy another pride symbol.

00:48:59.000 Police found these flags at the corner of 10th and Piedmont.

00:49:02.280 Oh, gosh.

00:49:03.620 That is so unnecessary.

00:49:06.080 That is just heartbreaking.

00:49:08.900 Donna Cooper goes on walks here several times a week.

00:49:11.380 I think the kind of people that do that sort of thing are going to pick an area.

00:49:16.340 Well, they'll get the attention.

00:49:18.520 It's an area Richard Ramey, the owner of Atlanta Eagle, says.

00:49:21.460 It's almost like someone has come into our home and tried to harm us.

00:49:25.780 Atlanta Eagle is a gay bar, and Ramey is heavily involved in the LGBTQ community.

00:49:30.760 Police responded to the 911 call around 1.40 a.m.

00:49:33.960 Yeah, they got knives or seven flags.

00:49:35.380 And found four of the six suspects charging the 16, 17, and 18-year-olds with criminal mischief.

00:49:40.920 They say the group drove in from the Dallas and Cartersville area,

00:49:43.720 but they're still investigating if they came to the area specifically to vandalize the flags.

00:49:48.560 We take this community very seriously.

00:49:50.820 We take all of Atlanta seriously, but definitely, definitely in this area,

00:49:54.460 we want to make sure that the residents feel safe and that we will respond as fast as we can.

00:49:59.480 That's one of the more nauseating press conferences from a police department that you will ever see.

00:50:03.940 The most useless and corrupt police departments obviously love coming down hard on cases like this 0.97

00:50:10.460 because rounding up children is a lot easier than actually protecting the community. 0.95

00:50:14.280 And we'll have more on that in a second.

00:50:16.200 But first, let's get back to the guy from the gay bar. 0.80

00:50:21.020 And here's what he said, in case you missed it.

00:50:22.780 Quote, it's almost like someone has come into our home and tried to harm us.

00:50:27.780 Close quote.

00:50:28.500 Well, the word almost is doing a lot of work in that statement

00:50:32.440 because actually, no, that's not remotely what happened.

00:50:36.600 What happened is that the government decided to force its secular religion on everybody else

00:50:41.020 by placing pride branding all over the crosswalk and people got tired of it.

00:50:46.040 Nobody went into anybody's home or attacked anybody.

00:50:48.340 In fact, it's not even clear that they damaged anyone else's property.

00:50:51.940 Here's some additional reporting from the local PBS station.

00:50:54.460 Quote, four teenagers were arrested early Tuesday morning and could face hate crime charges

00:50:58.960 after police say they stole and cut up pride flags outside one of Atlanta's most well-known gay bars.

00:51:04.360 It's unclear where the flags came from.

00:51:06.700 Yes, it's unclear where the flags came from.

00:51:10.760 According to the AP, the perpetrators, quote, pulled down LGBTQ plus pride flags,

00:51:15.400 although they still don't clarify where the flags came from exactly.

00:51:18.620 So again, it's not clear that anybody else's private property was destroyed here.

00:51:22.220 But still, for destroying those pride flags of unknown origin,

00:51:26.340 these individuals have been charged with obstruction, criminal damage to property, conspiracy, and prowling.

00:51:32.360 And on top of that, quote, police also issued a citation to Aaron Petras,

00:51:37.080 the 41-year-old father of the juvenile, for failing to supervise his son.

00:51:42.440 As you heard, hate crime charges are apparently pending.

00:51:45.420 So yes, they've gone after the kid's father because his child dared to defile the sacred pride flag.

00:51:53.360 And keep in mind, Atlanta is one of the most dangerous cities in the country.

00:51:57.000 It's a total hellhole.

00:51:58.180 And a lot of young people are committing far more serious crimes than this.

00:52:03.900 Roughly 50% of minors incarcerated in Georgia identify as gang members.

00:52:08.480 And one of them is named Jaden Myrick,

00:52:11.220 who was convicted of committing a fatal shooting at a wedding several years ago.

00:52:16.200 Myrick testified that he joined a gang when he was just nine years old.

00:52:19.500 And there's a picture of Jaden in case you needed the visual.

00:52:22.340 And to give some more context for this crime, Jaden Myrick was 17 years old when he went to a country club in Buckhead in July of 2018,

00:52:31.880 looking to commit some armed robbery.

00:52:34.200 And that's when he spotted several people who were waiting for an Uber after the ceremony.

00:52:38.620 And so he robbed all of them as he had planned.

00:52:41.340 And then when one of the men tried to reason with the robbers and ask for his driver's license back,

00:52:46.940 Jaden Myrick shot the guy to death.

00:52:49.900 And here's what the victim looked like.

00:52:51.120 He was a white man named Christian Broder.

00:52:53.720 Following the shooting, Jaden Myrick mocked the victim's family, attempted to intimidate witnesses as well. 0.77

00:52:58.720 In other words, he committed one of the most heinous and psychopathic crimes imaginable.

00:53:03.280 But guess what?

00:53:04.440 The police never went after Jaden Myrick's mother or his father, who we can assume is nowhere in the picture.

00:53:12.740 They never threw him in his father in prison for raising a horrible child who were failing to raise,

00:53:17.420 who began committing crimes when he was nine years old, culminating in his decision to murder a man at a wedding.

00:53:25.020 They never held a father responsible for allowing his child to be groomed into joining a gang before he was even a teenager.

00:53:30.580 In fact, they didn't even really go after the gang.

00:53:34.820 And of course, that's the norm. 0.99

00:53:35.740 The police don't care about the absent black fathers whose neglected kids become killers and degenerates. 0.99

00:53:41.000 But the moment that a kid defiles the sacred pride flag, they go and arrest the parents as well. 0.99

00:53:48.040 Even aside from the sheer hypocrisy and insanity on display here, this arrest raises more than a couple of questions.

00:53:54.900 And here's the big one.

00:53:55.600 How can it be a hate crime to destroy a pride flag?

00:54:02.060 Who is it a hate crime against exactly?

00:54:06.520 Like, in order for it to be a hate crime, you'd think there'd have to be a victim.

00:54:10.800 Who's the victim?

00:54:11.580 Gay people as a whole?

00:54:13.940 Well, how are any of them in any way injured by this?

00:54:17.000 No gay person was attacked.

00:54:19.000 No gay person was threatened.

00:54:20.300 No trans-identifying person was assaulted in any way.

00:54:25.860 In fact, no gay person would even know that this happened had they not pressed charges. 0.98

00:54:31.360 So what is the harm? 0.89

00:54:33.840 You might say, well, this is a symbol of their sexual preferences.

00:54:38.360 And, you know, they feel very offended when it's destroyed.

00:54:41.700 And apparently, that's what they're claiming.

00:54:44.180 They're saying that the gay people saw their flags being ripped up, and they became hysterical, and they felt like their homes were being invaded or something.

00:54:52.620 But if that's the case, if that's the case, why do we allow people to burn the American flag?

00:54:59.140 Every court in the country will tell you that it's protected speech under the First Amendment.

00:55:02.780 You can burn whatever American flags you want, no matter how much it offends anybody.

00:55:08.660 Now, people who value the flag and love this country, they don't get to throw you in jail because you hurt their feelings.

00:55:15.280 They don't get to throw you in jail because they feel like you're invading their home when you show up here and burn the flag.

00:55:23.560 But the gay flag is apparently special somehow. 0.99

00:55:26.020 Now, you might say, well, in this case, the flags in Atlanta belonged to somebody else, so they were private property, and you can't destroy private property.

00:55:35.260 But based on the news reports, we actually don't know that.

00:55:38.180 We have no idea who own these flags at the moment.

00:55:40.620 But let's assume that it's true.

00:55:41.780 Let's assume that these teenagers destroyed a $20 flag that somebody else, either the city or the gay bar, paid for. 0.61

00:55:47.880 Well, in scenario number one, where the city paid for this gay pride flag, then obviously there should be no charges at all.

00:55:53.760 The government doesn't get to compel taxpayers to fund the display of secular religious symbols in violation of the First Amendment, and then demand that we pay for maintaining them as well.

00:56:07.000 They don't get to paint the streets and plant flags to advance their particular brand of gay communism. 0.93

00:56:13.820 The Constitution just doesn't work that way.

00:56:16.700 The money was stolen the moment that it was spent on those flags, and so the teenagers in that case were just repaying the favor.

00:56:23.060 But in scenario number two, where the gay bar or some private actor paid for the flags, and they went and ripped the flag down from outside the gay bar or something like that, if that's what happened.

00:56:33.400 Well, then at most, the charge should be vandalism or mischief or something inconsequential like that, and the kids should pay the $20 back, and that's it.

00:56:43.680 The idea that they should also be hit with obstruction, conspiracy, and prowling charges, and hate crime charges, and that their parents should be arrested too, is obviously totally absurd.

00:56:55.640 I mean, we just watched dozens of Democrats all over the country damage Teslas to the tune of $10,000 or more each, and get off with warnings in almost every single case.

00:57:07.020 Tim Walz's own employee was caught on camera going on a vandalism spree, and they didn't do anything to him, much less to his parents.

00:57:15.620 And now they're going to tell us that some $20 flag warrants a massive police response and a dragnet that captures the parents of everybody involved.

00:57:25.360 Now, you hear the term anarcho-tyranny used a lot, but it's hard to think of a better example than this.

00:57:33.340 At the same time, you have to give the city of Atlanta credit for one thing, which is that, despite my expectations, they've managed to demonstrate yet another reason why the category of hate crimes should be abolished and never mentioned by anyone ever again.

00:57:47.240 In every case, it's used for fraudulent purposes to punish politically disfavored groups, to prop up hoaxes, or to distract from the people who are actually committing crimes.

00:57:58.320 In this case, the idea of hate crimes is actually being used for all three purposes, amazingly enough.

00:58:03.680 So the city of Atlanta has achieved a trifecta.

00:58:07.660 And that is why the city of Atlanta and everybody else who's pretending to be upset that some teenagers took down the pride flag in the middle of the street are today canceled.

00:58:18.120 That'll do it for the show today and this week.

00:58:20.880 And actually, I'll be on vacation for the next two weeks, as has become my custom for the first two weeks of July.

00:58:27.420 I'll see you back in a couple of weeks.

00:58:29.660 Have a great 4th of July.

00:58:32.280 God bless America.

00:58:33.420 Godspeed.
