Today on the Matt Wall Show, we will do a deep dive into the situation in Nigeria where Christians
1.00
00:00:19.080
are being persecuted by the thousands while American tax dollars are squandered by the
00:00:23.500
billions. Also, we'll take a look at the case of an immigrant who's been on food stamps in this
00:00:27.900
country for 30 years, three decades on the dole. Why are we allowing that to happen? Michelle Obama
00:00:32.200
has published a new book that is so on the nose, so perfectly narcissistic and shallow that
00:00:36.900
you'll think I'm making it up, but I'm not, I promise you. Plus, Canada is so completely lost
00:00:41.640
that now a third of kids in its public school system don't speak English. Talk about all that
00:00:57.900
You know, I'm an advocate of making informed decisions in day-to-day life. The same goes
00:01:17.340
for making decisions about healthcare. It's open enrollment season and insurance companies are
00:01:21.740
betting you'll just auto-renew without asking questions. But you're smarter than that. If you're
00:01:26.660
tired of overpriced premiums and confusing fine print, there is a better way. CrowdHealth
00:01:30.960
is a community where people fund each other's medical bills directly. No middlemen, no networks,
00:01:36.500
no nonsense. Stop playing the insurance game and take control of your healthcare. With CrowdHealth,
00:01:42.380
you get healthcare coverage for under $100 a month. And that's not some bare bones plan with a million
00:01:47.860
exceptions. That includes access to a dedicated team of health bill negotiators who fight on your
00:01:53.060
behalf, discounted prescriptions and lab tests that actually save you money, and a vetted database
00:01:57.940
of affordable, high-quality doctors handpicked by CrowdHealth. If something major happens, you only
00:02:03.240
pay the first $500 and the crowd steps in to help fund the rest of your medical expenses. It's honestly
00:02:09.660
what healthcare felt like before everything got overcomplicated by corporate middlemen,
00:02:14.380
a real community of people who actually want to help each other with unexpected medical events.
00:02:18.880
You're not just another policy number and some faceless corporation's database. So far,
00:02:23.100
CrowdHealth members have saved over $40 million in healthcare expenses because they simply refused
00:02:27.960
to overpay for care. The system is counting on you staying stuck in the same overpriced,
00:02:33.200
overcomplicated mess year after year. Don't give them the satisfaction. It's open enrollment.

00:02:57.680
When the president announced that we might soon be taking sweet military action inside Nigeria,
00:03:03.580
as he put it, in addition to cutting off all foreign aid to the country, he raised a lot of very
00:03:08.240
urgent questions that need to be answered. And the first question, of course, is what exactly this
00:03:12.920
sweet military action will look like? Nigeria doesn't have much in the way of anti-air technology,
00:03:18.760
nor is their military capable of defeating LSU's football team, much less the U.S. Army. So
00:03:23.560
the options are pretty much limitless on that front, especially if you're not a fan of the
00:03:27.960
mercy rule or playing remotely fair. We could film the next Top Gun movie over West Africa in the next
00:03:33.880
few weeks if we wanted to. And whatever you think of those movies, no serious person can test the fact
00:03:38.220
that they featured some pretty sweet scenes. The other important question that's raised by Trump's
00:03:43.480
remarks, as we briefly discussed yesterday, is why are we sending any foreign aid to Nigeria to begin
00:03:50.960
with? Why is there any foreign aid to suspend? Now, when I asked that question yesterday, I genuinely
00:03:57.820
had no idea what the answer was. I was aware of statistics showing that since 2021, we've been
00:04:03.920
sending roughly a billion dollars, yes, a billion dollars every single year to Nigeria. And for
00:04:09.440
the decade before that, we were giving them about a half a billion dollars every year. And most of
00:04:14.180
that money is supposedly earmarked for humanitarian and economic purposes. And yet, if you look at the
00:04:20.100
current state of Nigeria, it's not doing so well, despite receiving all that money from your checking
00:04:26.920
account. It turns out that, according to the latest estimates from the United Nations Development
00:04:30.900
Programme, quote, 63% of persons living within Nigeria, 133 million people, are multidimensionally
00:04:37.560
poor. Yes, you heard that correctly. 63% of Nigerians are multidimensionally poor. Now, this is not, despite
00:04:46.600
what you may think and what I thought at first, a situation where Nigerians are so poor that they've
00:04:51.220
entered another dimension. Apparently, according to the United Nations, being multidimensionally poor means
00:04:56.140
that, in addition to having no money, you also have poor health, poor education, poor living standards,
00:05:01.700
poor sanitation, poor housing, and poor access to electricity. In other words, being multidimensionally
00:05:08.800
poor means you're poor. And apparently, it also means that you're entitled to billions of dollars from
00:05:14.920
American taxpayers. And that's not all they've been receiving. Whether they exist in this dimension or not,
00:05:20.780
Nigerians have also been receiving a very different kind of aid from the United States. It's not all
00:05:26.480
humanitarian aid. They've also been receiving very expensive planes, which you can see right there.
00:05:33.420
In 2017, the first Trump administration sold a dozen A-29 Super Takano aircraft to Nigeria for
00:05:40.720
$600 million on the theory that they'd be useful in the Nigerian government's fight against Boko Haram,
00:05:46.460
the Islamist militant group. And the Super Takanos are turboprop aircraft that are mainly used for
00:05:53.740
close air support. Now, at the time, the Trump administration thought it would be a good idea
00:05:57.780
to equip Nigeria's air force with these fighters because Boko Haram and other militant jihadi groups
00:06:02.660
had been slaughtering Christians and burning down churches since 2009. And Nigeria's government
00:06:08.780
clearly needed more firepower to deal with the insurgency. To be clear, though, it was not an idea that
00:06:13.960
originated with the Trump administration. A year before the Trump administration completed the sale
00:06:17.920
of the fighters in 2016, the Obama administration had indicated that it was going to send those
00:06:24.520
aircraft to Nigeria, but they backed out after Nigeria's military bombed a civilian refugee camp by
00:06:29.640
mistake, killing 90 people. And then a few months later, the Trump administration took over and
00:06:34.560
they completed the transaction. Now, in the end, Boko Haram was not defeated. Neither were other major
00:06:42.720
Islamic militant groups in Nigeria. Several years after they obtained the planes from the U.S. military,
00:06:47.420
the mass murder of Christians didn't stop in Nigeria. It has not stopped. In fact, if anything,
0.67
00:06:53.980
it's intensified by some estimates. And I stress, these are very rough estimates, probably vast
00:07:00.280
undercounts. But still, well over 24,000 Christians were killed in Nigeria from 2021 to 2025,
00:07:08.380
while around 10,000 Christians were killed from 2017 to 2020. Every year, according to conservative
00:07:16.600
estimates, at least 4,000 Christians are killed because of their faith in Nigeria, which would be
0.85
00:07:21.460
more than every other country in the world combined. And many of these Islamist attacks take place in
00:07:28.360
churches, farms, villages. Watch. Now, in response to footage like this and the massacre of Christians,
00:07:42.580
here's the framing you'll see in the mainstream press. This is from the AP. See if you can spot
00:07:47.080
the hole in the logic here. Quote, while Christians are among those targeted, analysts say the majority of
00:07:52.920
victims of armed groups are Muslims in Nigeria's Muslim-majority north, where most attacks occur.
00:07:58.620
Analysts say Nigeria's complex security dynamics do not meet the legal definition of a genocide.
00:08:06.780
No, well, there's complex dynamics, you see, so we can't call it an anti-Christian genocide.
00:08:13.120
Then there's this analysis from an esteemed professor at NYU. Quote,
00:08:16.000
If anything, what we're witnessing is mass killings, which are not targeted against a specific group.
00:08:21.500
Said Alohu Mok Ayandel, an assistant professor at New York University's Center for Global Affairs,
00:08:27.700
who specializes in conflict studies. The drumming up of genocide might worsen the situation because
00:08:33.260
everyone is going to be on alert. And you wouldn't want that, apparently? You wouldn't want to put
00:08:40.280
people on alert about the threat that they face? In other words, according to the AP and this
00:08:44.400
professor at NYU, Christians aren't being targeted for extermination by Muslims because both Christians
00:08:49.700
and Muslims are being killed in large numbers by extremist groups. That's the logic. So if a group
0.93
00:08:57.800
commits a genocide against another group, but then also kills a bunch of its own people,
00:09:05.080
then it's not a genocide. Because you can cancel out the genocide by just like killing the same number
00:09:11.740
of your own people that you killed of the group that you hate. That's what they're telling us.
00:09:17.100
You know, it's not just Christians who are dying and therefore Christians aren't being targeted.
00:09:22.000
It's a bit like saying innocent people aren't being targeted by the Joker because the Joker also
00:09:26.420
kills some of his own henchmen when they make him angry. Now, the problem, of course, is that in both
00:09:31.960
cases, the AP is talking about the Muslims are the ones who are doing the killing. Christians are not
0.96
00:09:37.360
raiding Muslim farms and mosques and massacring everyone. Christians aren't lining up Muslims
1.00
00:09:42.940
and shooting them in the head because they won't convert. Muslims are committing those atrocities
1.00
00:09:48.400
against Christians. And yes, they're also killing moderate Muslims. They're killing Muslims they
1.00
00:09:52.520
disagree with. And on top of that, they're also killing Christians as part of their explicit goal
1.00
00:09:57.220
of religious conquest and worldwide jihad. There's an ISIS affiliate that's active in northeast Nigeria
00:10:03.060
right now called Islamic State West Africa province or ISWAP. And they're currently in the process of
00:10:09.240
murdering and enslaving Christian men, women and children on their way to establishing a new caliphate.
0.62
00:10:14.060
They're one of the most powerful ISIS groups anywhere in the world. And that's the part of the story
0.70
00:10:19.280
that the AP would rather skip over as they attempt to, you know, both sides this ongoing slaughter. But
00:10:25.240
you can't skip over that part of the story because it's clearly relevant to how the U.S. should respond.
00:10:31.040
You know, think about the rise of ISIS in Iraq a decade ago. Obama declared that they
00:10:36.340
weren't a big threat, right? Famously called them the JV team. And then just six months later,
00:10:42.480
ISIS took over huge swaths of Syria and Iraq and said they were going to start a new caliphate.
00:10:47.400
And it wasn't until Donald Trump took office and dramatically intensified the Pentagon's attacks
00:10:51.480
on ISIS in 2017 that they were finally defeated in both Iraq and Syria. So this is an example of a
00:10:57.540
targeted American military intervention overseas that had a clear, tangible, positive result for
00:11:03.260
Americans by eliminating an organization that was committed to conducting acts of terrorism on our
00:11:07.740
soil while also saving the lives of hundreds of thousands of Christians. And make no mistake about
00:11:13.280
it, keeping Christians alive wherever they may be is clearly in the best interests of the U.S. And to
00:11:18.620
that end, Donald Trump did not wage an endless war in the Middle East. It was a campaign that every
00:11:24.840
reasonable person in the country thought was appropriate and justified. So what Trump is
00:11:29.720
proposing to do now, as he says, we're going to carry out a sweet attack in Nigeria going in guns
0.93
00:11:35.420
a-blazing, if it comes to that, is to follow the exact same strategy he used to great effect in his
00:11:41.520
first administration. We have precedent showing that ISIS and other Islamic militant groups can be
00:11:47.940
shut down and very quickly. So why are Democrats opposing Trump's apparent plan to attack Islamic
0.75
00:11:53.980
terrorists in Nigeria? Well, one reason, of course, is that Democrats are not bothered by the
0.75
00:11:59.720
persecution of Christians. Actually, they welcome it. After all, they persecute Christians within the
1.00
00:12:05.540
borders of this country. Why would they care about Christians who are being slaughtered 5,000 miles
0.93
00:12:09.380
away? But there's also something to be said for how Nigeria, in the eyes of Democrats, is a big success
00:12:16.520
story for democracy. And they're willing to cling to this mythology at all costs, no matter how many
00:12:22.700
Christians need to die as a result. Every other month, the Biden administration will put out statements
00:12:27.520
about how Nigeria is Africa's largest democracy. You can go on the archived version of the White House
00:12:33.260
website and you'll find about a dozen, you know, of these declarations. And Nigeria's president at the
00:12:40.340
time returned the favor. He was one of the first world leaders to declare that Joe Biden had won the
00:12:45.180
2020 election. Quote, congratulations to U.S. President-elect Joe Biden on his election at a time of
00:12:49.900
uncertainty and feared world affairs. His election is a reminder that democracy is the best form of
00:12:54.160
government because it offers the people the opportunity to change their government by peaceful
00:12:58.240
means. So the messaging is pretty clear from both sides. Democracy, as we all remember, was the Democrats'
00:13:05.860
top buzzword for the past few years. They couldn't stop throwing the word around. They said the United
00:13:10.760
States is a democracy. They said Nigeria is a democracy. They said your local dentist's office is a
00:13:17.280
democracy. Everything's a democracy. In every single case, Democrats were using the word democracy to
00:13:21.080
describe some of the most undemocratic practices imaginable. Now, of course, in this country, they
00:13:25.940
went on about the importance of democracy as they attempted to imprison and murder the leading
00:13:30.900
presidential candidate along with everyone who ever worked for him. In Nigeria, they pontificated about
00:13:36.360
democracy even as the state lost its monopoly on the use of force and as Islamist terrorist groups
00:13:41.860
seized control of large portions of the country. But Nigeria is not really a democracy. It's a failed
0.99
00:13:49.300
state where Christians are being hunted en masse. And you have to ask yourself, if the entire corporate
00:13:55.680
media and the Democrat Party are willing to lie to you about what's happening in Nigeria, why wouldn't
00:14:00.320
they excuse the same type of massacre in this country? Maybe one thing if they tried to claim that
00:14:06.780
foreign entanglements are inherently risky or that we don't want to risk the lives of U.S. service
00:14:11.360
members. I mean, those are reasonable arguments. You could make those arguments. Or if they claim
00:14:17.220
that we could solve all of Nigeria's problems, all of their multidimensional poverty, by sending them,
1.00
00:14:22.000
you know, a little bit more money, which is not a reasonable argument, but, you know, they could also
00:14:26.780
try to claim that. But they're not really doing that. They're telling you that Christians aren't
0.98
00:14:31.840
actually being gunned down, even though it's happening on camera. Whatever Donald Trump chooses
00:14:39.500
to do in Nigeria, Christians in this country and all over the world should never forget that.
00:14:45.540
The people who want you dead aren't just in Boko Haram or Ice Swap or ISIS. They're not 5,000 miles away.
00:14:54.160
They're trying to return to power. They're running in several major elections today, in fact.
00:14:58.720
And if that sounds like an overstatement, well, ask yourself, how are Christians treated in Somalia?
00:15:06.240
It's one of the most dangerous countries in the world for Christians. They are murdered and beheaded
1.00
00:15:10.340
for their faith all the time. Last Good Friday, Islamist militants shot six Christians in the shop
00:15:17.440
where they worked and then torched the shop. What do you think happens when major cities in this
00:15:23.300
country become indistinguishable from Somalia? What happens to the Christians in those cities?
00:15:28.720
Well, if they win today's elections with the help of millions of imported foreign voters,
00:15:34.900
in Democrats' eyes, it'll be a major victory for democracy. But what they won't tell you is that
00:15:41.820
their ideal version of democracy is not anything that Ben Franklin or Thomas Jefferson had in mind.
00:15:49.040
It is Nigeria and Somalia's definition of democracy. And one election in New York or Minneapolis at a time,
00:15:58.820
we're on our way to getting just that. Now let's get to our five headlines.
00:16:04.360
If you wanted to take down America, you would start exactly where the left did, the family and
0.56
00:16:15.120
specifically our kids. And that's why all our entertainment, education and media target kids
00:16:20.600
so aggressively planting lies about gender identity, God and our American values. If we don't equip them
0.60
00:16:26.440
with truth from a young age, we shouldn't be surprised when they grow up believing lies. And that's why I'm such a
00:16:32.140
big believer in Brave Books. They're helping families teach timeless values through engaging stories that
00:16:38.220
kids actually love. Each month, you get a new book that reinforces a pro-God, pro-America value like

00:18:42.980
So we've been talking about food stamps quite a lot on the show recently. And as you know, I've been a
00:18:50.320
critic of the food stamp program for a very long time. And over these past few weeks, for the first
00:18:55.360
time, it seems like Americans en masse are ready to have this conversation about these welfare programs.
00:19:02.040
So, you know, so I'm taking full advantage. I admit that. Take advantage of the moment. I've been waiting for
00:19:11.580
this moment for like 10 years and now it's arrived. So on that note, I wanted to play this clip. And we played a lot of
00:19:19.940
clips that kind of prove the point about EBT. I mean, really, you could play any clip and this is what we've seen.
00:19:23.740
Just play any clip. Play any clip featuring any EBT recipient doing anything or saying anything. And it
00:19:30.160
kind of makes the point about why this program shouldn't exist. But this one is great because
00:19:35.360
it really makes the entire case against EBT in 47 seconds. The whole case is here. Less than a minute.
00:19:46.380
And it exposes the whole thing unintentionally, of course, as always. But listen to this.
00:19:53.740
The first thing I did was grab my phone and call. And when I heard $0, my chest went into my throat.
00:20:01.380
Maggie Aragon has been a SNAP recipient for more than three decades. Even with these benefits,
00:20:06.380
she says she also relies on food banks to get enough food.
00:20:10.000
I have depended on those benefits since the 1990s. And it's detrimental to my life if I don't get them.
00:20:18.380
There are more than 460,000 New Mexicans using SNAP benefits. Tonight, some of them telling
0.99
00:20:23.680
us they don't have those right now. Friday, Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham announced $30 million in
00:20:29.360
state funds would be used to supply SNAP users starting November 1st.
00:20:33.180
We're going to choose feeding families over politics in New Mexico. We're going to do that right now.
00:20:38.680
So this is a woman with a heavy accent who's been a SNAP recipient for 30 years. Three decades on the
0.99
00:20:55.360
dole as a SNAP recipient. Three decades eating on our dime. And she also goes to food banks on top of
1.00
00:21:03.260
it. So she's been living off of the taxpayers since I was in fourth grade. I have been paying
00:21:13.320
for this woman's meals since the very first moment that I had a job. My first job was working at a
0.99
00:21:19.240
snowball stand when I was like 13 years old. And I was paying for this woman to eat all the way back
1.00
00:21:26.080
then. Now I'm almost 40 and I'm still paying. And so are you. You have been paying for her for your
00:21:34.620
entire adult life, depending on how old you are. Chances are you've been paying for her for your
00:21:38.920
entire adult life. And why? What do we get out of it? What's in it for us? Well, nothing, of course,
00:21:51.040
but it's a nice thing to do for her. I mean, that really is the answer. It's a nice thing. It's a
00:21:56.560
nice thing to do for her. Okay. Well, you know, it would be a nice thing if everybody bought me a car.
00:22:03.800
It would be a nice thing for you if we all pitched in and bought you a new wardrobe with,
00:22:08.160
you know, designer clothes. There are a lot of nice things we could do for people.
00:22:13.880
What makes her special? Like, I mean, that's seriously, what, what makes her special? Why
00:22:19.560
should she get to kick back, relax and eat for free for her entire adult life?
00:22:28.240
I mean, this woman looks to be in her, probably in her fifties, I would guess. So 30 years,
00:22:31.620
that means like for her entire adult life, she has been on the dole. She's never had to feed herself
00:22:40.060
ever. Not, not once has she, this woman has not paid for her own meal ever in her life.
0.77
00:22:49.560
Think about that. And this is the way these programs are designed. They, they do not have
00:22:56.920
the effect of giving people a step up of propelling them on to becoming productive citizens. They
00:23:01.880
aren't designed to do that. They are designed to keep you dependent and make you dependent to keep
00:23:08.620
you there in a, in a state of dependence until you die. That's what the programs are designed to do.
00:23:15.440
And it's what they in fact succeed in doing. Now you might argue, you might speculate that,
00:23:20.000
um, and I saw some of the comments under this video, people say, well, maybe she's disabled and
0.99
00:23:25.400
that's why she's been on the dole for 30 years. Well, the problem is that, I mean, first of all,
00:23:33.300
she's, uh, you know, standing there, having a conversation, speaking in a relatively coherent
00:23:41.100
way, even if it's a thick accent. So there's nothing obvious in that video that would, that
00:23:46.500
would seem to disqualify her from having any kind of job, especially these days. I mean, using that
00:23:53.580
as an excuse, especially these days, like half of the jobs are work from home anyway.
00:24:00.200
Pretty soon that's going to be almost every job. Um, so the idea that she, well, she can't work at
1.00
00:24:07.860
all for her entire life is, is, is hard to, hard to swallow. And, but the other problem is that
00:24:14.040
disabled doesn't mean anything anymore. I mean, it's one of the many words in our society that's been
00:24:17.980
so broadly used and misused that it just doesn't mean anything anymore. It used to be that if
00:24:24.720
somebody was disabled, then you knew that they suffered from some very obvious physical impairment
00:24:30.760
that made it impossible for them to live a normal functional life. Like you can't walk or you can't
00:24:38.220
see. I mean, you can still be a functional person. If you can't walk, you can't see, but, but it's like,
00:24:42.100
okay, there's a very obvious, a physical impairment, a physical disability. It's like an ability that
00:24:47.520
you don't have that you're, that you're missing, um, because of, because of this
00:24:51.940
problem that you have physically. But now, of course, anything qualifies as a disability.
00:25:01.360
Depression is a disability legally under the law, under the ADA, the Americans with Disabilities
00:25:06.000
Act. Depression can be considered disability. How does that work? I mean, you can't see depression.
00:25:12.520
You can't diagnose it with a body scan or a brain scan. Anyone can claim to be depressed.
00:25:20.280
And what's more, not working, not, not being productive, living on food stamps will make you
00:25:25.360
depressed. So someone's disabled, they're depressed, they're on, well, they're on some kind of welfare
1.00
00:25:30.940
program. I just makes them more depressed. And so now that becomes, it's a self-perpetuating thing
00:25:36.800
by design. Again, this is all by design. So I don't know, does this woman have a disability?
0.96
00:25:43.420
And if it is a disability, is it a real one or a fake one? Well, we have no idea. It doesn't matter.
00:25:52.440
You know, that's the point. The point is that the system is designed to breed dependency and a system
00:25:58.200
is what it does. And that's what this system does. That's why, that's why I say tear the whole thing
00:26:05.660
down. I mean, we got to tear the whole welfare state down, get rid of all of it, get rid of the
00:26:13.320
whole thing and start over. Now, I'm not saying there should be no safety. I mean, this is, this is
00:26:19.880
why so much of the language that we use to discuss these things, the language is, is totally out of,
00:26:28.340
out of step with reality. Because you hear people talk about this, it's like welfare programs as a social
00:26:35.340
safety net. It's a safety net. Well, what's a safety net? A safety net is, you know, you're,
00:26:42.740
you're walking a high, across a tight rope and, and there's a safety net. And then if you fall,
00:26:47.840
you fall into the safety net. If you're in the circus, an acrobat, you have a safety net. If you
00:26:52.660
fall, you fall into the safety net so that you don't crash onto the ground and, uh, and become a
00:26:57.340
pancake on the ground. Okay. That makes sense. But you don't live in the safety net. The whole point
00:27:06.280
of the safety net is that you fall into it and you go, whew, wow, I'm glad this thing is here.
00:27:10.900
That was a close one. But then you get out of the safety net. You don't set up camp there. You don't
00:27:18.100
live there. You know, if you, if you just live, if you decide, okay, well, I'm going to hang out
00:27:24.140
here in the safety net and, and, and go to sleep. Well, it's not a safety net anymore. It's a, it's a
00:27:29.640
hammock, right? That's what it becomes. And so these safety nets are now hammocks where people say,
00:27:36.260
oh, this is kind of comfortable. I'll just, I'll just stay here. I'll take a nap and I'll lounge here,
00:27:40.700
drink some lemonade, watch some TV. And, uh, yeah, I'm not, I'm not ever getting out of this safety net.
00:27:45.120
Okay. Well, it's not a safety net anymore. Safety net is you fall into it. Okay, good.
00:27:50.900
Glad you were safe. Get out. Social safety net. Okay. You fall on hard times. You lose your job.
00:27:57.240
You things, something happens to you, um, some kind of unforeseen catastrophe and, uh, and you're
00:28:04.000
falling. You're in free fall. Everything's falling apart in your life. Safety net is there to catch you
00:28:08.720
so that is, so that, um, you're not completely destroyed by it. That's good. Okay. It caught you.
00:28:13.680
So collect yourself. Now get out of the net. Okay. Get out. And that's the part that we've lost.
00:28:24.400
So we should just cut the whole thing down. I mean, really just cut the safety net down.
00:28:27.980
And, uh, and, and we need to go back to the drawing board on this thing.
00:28:31.860
And then when you put the safety net back up, it's gotta be a real safety net. And what that means is
00:28:35.660
like for something like food stamps, uh, it shouldn't even be food. Like forget about food stamps,
00:28:40.380
forget about EBT cards. It should be, if you're on this program, we will send you, you know, we're
00:28:45.780
going to, we'll send you military rations. We'll send you MREs, um, enough that you're not going
00:28:51.080
to starve enough to, to, uh, fill your nutritional needs for a certain amount of time. And, uh, and
00:28:58.460
then after that time is up, you know, we're going to take it away. And if you, if you still need it,
00:29:03.000
cause you haven't gotten back on your feet, you can reapply. But, but the point is, it's like,
00:29:07.140
it's not going to be comfortable. It's not going to be the kind of thing where you want to hang out
00:29:11.640
there. Um, because that's, that's what the system allegedly initially was designed to do.
00:29:21.440
Okay. Michelle Obama has really been vocal lately. She's, uh, all over the place. She's,
00:29:27.740
you know, has her podcast where she sits down and complains. She does interviews where she complains.
00:29:32.020
She complains in every form available in every way, in every language. She complains, uh, in
0.54
00:29:39.920
nonverbal language. She complains in Morse code. She complains in sign language. So she complains
0.99
00:29:45.900
in every way that she can. She's a, she's a very versatile complainer. She's like a Renaissance man
00:29:51.340
of complaining. She just knows how to complain and she can complain about anything. It really,
00:29:56.620
it's, it is kind of like a talent in, in a certain way. So now she's back at it. She's doing an
00:30:01.660
interview here and, um, we're going to play the clip, but by the way, she's on the interview
0.90
00:30:07.680
circuit to talk about her new book. She's got a book out. And I saw this clip this morning
00:30:13.300
and that's how I found out that she has a book out. I hadn't heard about it. And if you haven't
00:30:18.000
heard about it and I promise I'm not making this up. Okay. I'm not making it up. So she's
00:30:24.400
got a new book and it's called the look. So if you go to Amazon, which I did, and of course
00:30:33.680
purchased a copy for myself and all my, my, my whole family purchased 50 copies. Uh, cause
00:30:39.420
this, I mean, cause I, I read this description and I said, I got to read this. I got to read
00:30:43.800
this thing. I mean, this set, this is like, man. So here's how it was described on Amazon
00:30:50.300
beautifully illustrated with more than 200 photographs, including never before seen images.
00:30:54.860
The look is a stunning journey through Michelle Obama's style evolution in her own words for
00:31:00.740
the first time in this celebration of style from the moment she entered the public eye
00:31:04.240
through her husband's U S Senate campaign through her time as the first black first lady. And today
00:31:08.420
as one of this country's most influential figures, Michelle Obama shares, she uses the beauty and
0.97
00:31:12.700
intrigue of fashion to draw attention to her message featuring the voices of Meredith Coop,
00:31:18.700
Obama's stylist, as well as her makeup artist, Carl Ray, hairstylist, Yeen Dom too, Johnny Wright,
00:31:25.900
and the Jerry Radway. And many of the designers who have dressed Obama for notable events, the look
00:31:31.020
brings readers behind the scenes, not only to reveal how our most memorable looks came together,
00:31:36.520
but also to tell a powerful story about how we present ourselves. Okay. So, uh, this is a book
00:31:43.180
Michelle Obama published with 200 pictures of Michelle Obama, where she talks about her fashion
00:31:50.060
and all the profound reasons behind the different outfits that she wore.
00:31:56.220
This is what this woman's narcissism has led to. This is what it has wrought. This is where she is now.
0.59
00:32:02.440
She is now published. She's published. Look at me. The book, a book where every single page is just,
00:32:10.340
is just, uh, her begging you to look at her. I mean, the title of the book is look. That's the title.
00:32:19.520
Look, look, everyone. Look at me. Hey, everyone. Look at me. Did you see this? Now look at this.
00:32:24.640
Look at me here. Why are you looking? Look some more, please keep. Why aren't you looking at me?
00:32:29.980
Why aren't more people looking at me right now? That should be the title of the book.
00:32:35.420
Why aren't more people looking at me? The story of Michelle Obama.
00:32:41.000
Uh, and it really is just pictures of herself. She basically went into her camera roll on her phone
00:32:46.440
of all of her selfies and published them as a book. She looked at her selfies on, uh, you know,
00:32:52.720
on, on her phone and said, this should be a book. She went to her, her selfie camera roll and it's
00:32:57.240
just nothing but 10,000 pictures of herself. And she said, this should really be a book. I think
00:33:01.400
this should be a book. This, this is a perfect, this is the perfect, uh, uh, fodder for a book.
00:33:07.760
And each picture has a caption where she waxes poetic about the reasons for, uh, wearing whatever
00:33:16.100
she has on, right? Like it's, it's a picture of her. And then it's, you know, here I'm wearing a
00:33:23.100
green dress because this is to signify my profound love of nature or whatever, stuff like that here.
00:33:32.800
I'm wearing a jockstrap because I'm a man, you know, that's also in there. I think, I don't know.
00:33:39.420
I heard that that was in there. So here's an actual headline about this book. This is a
00:33:45.240
headline published. It's in a mainstream publication. Here's the headline. Just,
00:33:48.340
just so you know, Michelle Obama reveals the surprising reason she got bangs in the White
00:33:55.460
House. Wow. Thank God. Finally, the mystery is solved because I've been wondering this for years,
00:34:05.160
right? She finally revealed, she finally revealed why she had bangs. And I, every morning and every
00:34:14.160
night I have, I have gone to bed and, and, and I wake up tortured by this question. Why did Michelle
00:34:21.740
Obama have bangs in the White House? Why, why, why the bangs? I've said it so many times. You can ask my
00:34:30.100
wife. I, every, every day I'm asking, why have we, why did she have bangs? Why did she have them?
1.00
00:34:35.840
I pursued this question all over the globe. You know, I've, I've got, I've, I've waded through jungles
00:34:40.480
and wandered across deserts. I, I went to the top of a mountain in the Himalayas and consulted like a
00:34:46.320
Hindu oracle. And I said, guru, guru, why, why did Michelle Obama have bangs? Why did she have them?
0.97
00:34:55.960
And then the guru said, oh, well, you got to go to amazon.com. She just published a book about it.
00:35:00.260
Bestseller. Why are you here? Just go online and order it. And so I did.
00:35:07.120
So anyway, why were we talking about this? Oh, well, if you're, if you're wondering it,
00:35:11.580
so here's the answer, by the way, if you're wondering, it's in the article, it says that she,
0.84
00:35:16.080
so she wrote, I changed styles to give my hair a rest and to minimize breakage,
00:35:21.920
which is why I switched to bangs three years later. So, so that's it to minimize breakage.
00:35:29.040
Now I, oh, that's why after all these years that we've all been wondering it was breakage all along.
00:35:37.880
That was the reason you've been, you, you have been, we've been debate. Scholars have been debating
00:35:45.000
this for years and it turns out, oh, it's because of the breakage. So, you know, and that's the whole
00:35:53.040
book. You can go buy that book. So all that to say, Michelle has been on the interview circuit.
00:36:04.580
You said we were all too aware that as a first black couple, we couldn't afford any missteps.
00:36:11.420
Yeah. And you also say as a black woman, I was under a particularly white hot glare. Did you feel
00:36:18.440
that? For sure. You can't afford to get anything wrong because you didn't get the, at least until
00:36:24.460
the country came to know us. We didn't get the grace that I think some other families have got.
00:36:31.060
Yes. Famously, the white house was a place where nobody was scrutinized. Famously, you know,
00:36:40.780
Americans, American voters extend grace to their politicians and presidents.
00:36:47.360
No, nobody scrutinized the president and his family until we had, you know, black ones in there. And
00:36:52.460
then, and then everyone suddenly was scrutinizing them. Then there was a white hot glare all of a sudden.
00:36:58.440
So it really is amazing. We've talked about this plenty of times before, but it never ceases to
00:37:02.600
amaze me that Michelle Obama has lived one of the most enviable lives that anyone has ever lived.
00:37:11.760
Truly. Okay. Just based on objective metrics, if you were to take all 100 billion people who have
00:37:22.000
ever lived on the planet and, you know, grouped them all together and then rank them from most
00:37:30.620
difficult life to least difficult, Michelle Obama would be, okay, most difficult is like all the way
00:37:37.860
over here. If this is least difficult, she's, she's, you know, way, she's in the 0.0000000000000000001%
00:37:48.520
bracket for a least difficult life. She's almost at the top. I mean, you can make an argument that she
0.94
00:37:55.180
has maybe lived the least difficult life of anyone ever. She's, she's in the conversation. I mean,
00:38:02.740
she is, um, it's to be, to be a first lady in modern America is about as easy and comfortable
0.79
00:38:14.100
and luxurious and enviable as a life can possibly be. And that's first lady. Now I'm not saying that
00:38:21.280
to be the president, to be the president, at least while you're doing the job is not, is actually one
00:38:26.900
of the more difficult, uh, lots that you can, it's one of the more, one of the more difficult ones that
00:38:32.700
does straws. You can pull even, you know, which is why I would never want the job, but the first lady,
1.00
00:38:38.920
like you don't have to do anything. A first lady is like you, you give, they give you some little
1.00
00:38:46.740
project to work on. Every first lady has a little project to give her a little project.
1.00
00:38:52.400
And they say, you're this, you know, the next four years will be about this. And so for what was
00:38:58.000
Michelle Obama was, um, what was it? Let's move or whatever, you know, making sure kids have more
00:39:03.740
recess, making sure that they get enough apples and baby carrots in their, uh, in their school
00:39:09.360
lunches. That was her little project. It's like this really low stakes, very easy. You don't have
00:39:14.580
to actually do anything. It's like, you're not really, cause you have no power. So, uh, this is
00:39:18.920
just the thing that you're going to like pretend to do. It's your fun little project. And other than
00:39:22.840
that, your job is to dress nice and like appear in public sometimes. And your husband has all the
00:39:32.420
pressure, but you have none of it. And your husband has, it's a lot of pressure. He's the
00:39:37.240
United States. Uh, so, but you have none of it and he has all of it. So, um, yeah, about as easy as
00:39:47.500
life can be really yet. Michelle still complains and still is not happy. And, and there is a lesson
00:39:56.940
in that. I think that's why, that's why Michelle's story resonates, I think, with so many of us
00:40:01.720
in all the wrong ways. Like it resonates exactly the opposite way that she wants it to resonate,
00:40:05.760
but it resonates because it's, it's a, there's a lesson. It's not a political lesson. It's, it's
00:40:10.460
really got nothing to do with politics. It's a life lesson. Uh, it's a lesson about being a person.
00:40:16.140
And what it tells us is that if you are a selfish person, if you're a narcissistic person,
00:40:20.420
um, you know, being a narcissist is, is a, it, it's a, uh, it's a curse really because you'll never be
00:40:31.580
happy. Nothing can ever make you happy. Truly. Right. If you're a narcissist, it just means like
00:40:41.340
if you're a narcissistic person, you will never, ever be happy ever. Not a, nothing can ever make
00:40:47.340
you happy until you get over your narcissism. Now you can, if you conquer that beast, if you slay
00:40:53.660
that dragon, then, then you can be happy. But as long as you're a narcissist, nothing will ever make
00:40:58.200
you happy. I mean, you could, Michelle Obama could, um, find a, a, a lamp and rub the lamp and a genie
0.59
00:41:06.740
pops out and grants her, you know, a wish to live until she's 500 and be a trillionaire and, and,
0.81
00:41:14.500
and, you know, give her the power to fly and she can eat as much chocolate as she wants and never
1.00
00:41:20.300
gets fat. Um, you know, they could grant her a wish to become a real woman. Uh, what, you know,
1.00
00:41:27.760
allegedly I'm not supposed to, but anyway, and she still would not be happy.
00:41:32.560
Like nothing would ever make her happy. In fact, if you're a narcissist, you could get all that
00:41:39.960
and you would be just as unhappy with all of that as you would be if you were poor and dying of cancer.
00:41:49.800
The, the amount of unhappiness would be the same because it's what narcissism does. It's a, it's just
00:41:56.940
this, um, it's a very, it's a very small life. It makes you a very small, shallow, superficial person.
00:42:05.740
And, uh, that's Michelle Obama. It really is amazing. Um, it's amazing to watch. So,
00:42:13.320
and you can learn more about it by buying her new book, which I'm sure is a page turner.
00:42:20.920
Do you guys ever read protein bar labels and feel like you're reading off a candy bar? Most protein
00:42:25.820
bars are loaded with sugar and processed junk that leaves you bloated and unsatisfied. My team was
00:42:30.520
hunting for something better, a clean protein bar that actually keeps us energized. Now enter Equip
00:42:35.940
Foods Prime Bar, the first grass-fed beef protein bar made with only real food ingredients and
00:42:41.180
absolutely nothing to hide. Starting today, my listeners will receive an exclusive discount on
00:42:45.420
Prime Bar, which has become our team's favorite protein bar on the market with 20 grams of protein in
00:42:50.360
every bar. I've tried a lot of protein bars on the market and none of them taste like real food.
00:42:54.580
They taste artificial and strange, but Prime Bar actually tastes like real food and it's good with
00:43:00.720
just 11 clean ingredients, including collagen, beef tallow, and colostrum. Naturally sweetened with
00:43:05.560
dates and honey, you get 20 grams of clean protein without the bloat. No whey, no seed oils, gluten,
00:43:10.860
or artificial junk. They're third-party tested for heavy metals, microplastics, and pesticide.
00:43:15.780
So they can actually back up their cleanest bar on the market claim. If you want to try the cleanest
00:43:21.760

We have less than 2,000 Daily Wire lifetime memberships remaining. Turns out having all
00:43:44.100
access benefits for life with no renewals is something everybody wants. So here are your
00:43:48.800
options. You could buy one while they're still available, or you could win mine. That's right.
00:43:53.580
I have my very own lifetime membership to give away, and I made it ridiculously easy to enter.
00:43:58.860
Download the free Daily Wire Plus app in the App Store, open it, and tap follow under my picture,
00:44:04.840
and that's it. You're entered, and who knows? I could be calling you to give you my personal
00:44:09.440
lifetime membership. But before any of that happens, you need to download the Daily Wire Plus app
00:44:14.300
and follow me inside so that you are entered to win. Do it now. Now let's get to our daily cancellation.
00:44:27.940
Well, it's been a very difficult few days for Canadians, which admittedly is really saying
00:44:32.180
something. It's a bit like saying that you had a rough afternoon when you're a prisoner in a
00:44:36.080
Siberian work camp. But alas, even by the standards of day-to-day life up north, this has not been an
00:44:41.660
easy week. And that's not just because the Toronto Blue Jays lost the World Series in a very painful
00:44:46.100
fashion in Game 7 after making a series of preventable mistakes, including sliding feet first
00:44:50.700
into a force out at home plate and after taking the smallest lead from third base that's ever been
00:44:55.780
taken in the history of the sport. Really, every single aspect of the World Series, from the
00:44:59.620
pre-game performances to the post-game arrangements, just a complete debacle for Canadians. And to give
00:45:04.840
you an idea of how bad things got, one vaguely, potentially non-binary performer even changed the
00:45:10.900
words of, Oh Canada, the already terrible Canadian anthem. I mean, frankly, it's pretty bad,
00:45:17.260
just being honest. But changed it to Our Home on Native Land instead of Our Home and Native Land.
00:45:26.000
Now, one way to understand Canada is that the entire country, including the private sector,
00:45:47.900
including what's left of their entertainment industry, now functions like a dysfunctional,
00:45:52.340
bloated government bureaucracy. Nothing ever gets updated. Everything's
00:45:55.980
stale and rehashed no matter where you look. Even at the World Series, you can't escape it.
00:46:01.200
And that's why their singers are still doing land acknowledgments in 2025, long after the rest of
00:46:05.140
the world has realized that they make no sense whatsoever. Singing Our Home on Native Land is
0.81
00:46:10.540
not stunning and brave, unless you're willing to hand the deed to your home over to some drunk tribal
1.00
00:46:16.640
elder. And something tells me that this singer is not willing to do that, so it falls flat.
00:46:21.640
But even after the Canadians lost Game 7, the humiliation continued, because it never ends
00:46:26.200
in Canada. For one final indignity, all of the dejected fans leaving the stadium were told that
00:46:31.240
the public transit had shut down for the night, so they had no way of getting home. As for the single
0.99
00:46:37.380
biggest public event in the history of Toronto, the city bureaucracy couldn't keep the trains running
00:46:42.120
for another couple hours. And predictably, the Canadian fans melted down over it. Watch.
00:46:47.120
12.30 is the cutoff for the 1 o'clock train. Don't people take 1 o'clock. It's the last
00:46:53.500
one. It's not 1 o'clock. And that's the last one. That's the last one. I call you a
00:47:04.720
There's thousands of people here. They told us there's more trains coming. We lined up for 20
00:47:14.120
minutes. We stood there. Call Doug. Call Doug. Danger. You're putting us in danger. You have
00:47:20.700
people lined up here. You have people waiting for you. Now, the reason I'm beginning with these
00:47:25.940
clips is not simply to mock Canada. I mean, that's 99% of it, admittedly. But I'm also trying to make
00:47:32.300
a larger point, which is that Canada has really started to break down at a fundamental level over
00:47:36.400
the past few years. Now, they can't host a World Series. They can't allow truckers to peacefully
00:47:40.780
protest in Ottawa. They can't provide health care in a timely fashion unless you want to get a lethal
00:47:46.660
injection, in which case you'll get health care right away. They also can't provide competent
00:47:50.400
police services either, as this video demonstrates. Watch as a Toronto police officer leaves his SUV in
00:47:56.900
park, allowing it to hit everyone before hopping in the car, putting it in drive, and then
00:48:55.580
Well, you know, dysfunction of this magnitude has many, many causes.
00:49:01.200
But this dysfunction is only tolerated in Canada to such a profound degree
00:49:04.640
in every aspect of daily life because they have no meaningful national identity.
00:49:12.920
where a handful of people always leave comments on my show, which I appreciate.
00:49:17.860
It goes without saying that all of the scorn I heap on Canada is,
00:49:21.200
if you watch the show and you're a fan, you're an exception.
00:49:27.880
But on a national level, mediocrity is the norm.
00:49:33.920
That's because Canada has ceded its national identity to foreigners,
0.98
00:49:36.760
most of whom see Canada as a resource to exploit.
00:49:42.100
So here's the latest example of this transformation.
00:49:44.440
This comes from a columnist with Canada's National Post named Janie Sorkanak.
00:49:48.960
In Calgary, 31% of public school students are English learners
00:49:53.960
because immigration has been so extremely high.
00:49:56.700
The board is now proposing to hire interpreters for regular classrooms.
00:50:00.340
This somehow became normal without anyone raising it with the feds.
00:50:07.600
She's quoting directly from the Calgary Board of Education,
00:50:13.160
One third of Canadian public school students are learning English as an additional language.
00:50:19.780
Meanwhile, over the past four years, the number of students with special needs
00:50:27.060
No explanation from the school board as to why that's happening.
00:50:32.020
Also, this is a trend we see across Canada, across America.
00:50:41.280
No one's trying to figure out what's going on there.
00:50:43.340
Predictably enough, the Calgary School Board seems to be interested in just one thing,
00:50:49.760
Here's the slide where they demand taxpayer money to hire interpreters.
00:50:55.080
The additional funding would be directed to targeted schools for classroom-based support,
00:50:59.340
education assistance, interpreters, specialized technologies.
00:51:03.840
Now, the reason Canada is attracting so many foreigners who can't speak English,
1.00
00:51:08.260
is that their government is promising free stuff to everybody who enters the country.
00:51:14.200
Canada doesn't simply rubber-stamp asylum claims for the entire third world.
00:51:18.660
They also allow pretty much any foreigner living in Canada,
00:51:21.040
including international students and temporary residents,
00:51:26.800
Canada lets temporary residents bring their kids to the country,
00:51:29.200
and those kids are eligible for public education, as are asylum seekers.
00:51:32.980
This is not lost on immigration vloggers who advertise free school to inquiring migrants.
00:51:38.400
Now, just to double-check that she wasn't misunderstanding any of this,
00:51:46.620
So in one sentence, that's a pretty useful way to summarize most of Canada's problems.
00:52:02.220
They don't treat foreigners any differently than Canadians, as a matter of principle.
00:52:05.380
Never mind the fact that these particular foreigners haven't paid into the public education system in Canada.
0.99
00:52:10.480
Never mind the fact that some of these particular foreigners will go back to their home countries
0.99
00:52:14.240
after completing their free education in Canada.
00:52:16.620
Most of all, never mind the fact that the quality of education for all Canadians will suffer,
00:52:23.380
from the enormous influx of foreign students into every major school district.
00:52:27.760
Although, admittedly, it's hard to imagine the quality of the Canada's education system
00:52:32.220
Because the province of Ontario has just decided that instead of studying the classics in English class,
00:52:38.120
11th grade students will now be subjected to a full year of so-called indigenous literature,
00:52:44.460
which is like kind of a, it's almost a contradiction in terms, really, indigenous literature.
00:52:49.180
A lot of these indigenous groups didn't even have a written language before, you know, Europeans showed up,
00:52:58.120
Of course, most Canadians in positions of power, you know, don't care about the fact that,
00:53:04.140
It's just like they don't care about keeping the trains running on time after the World Series
00:53:07.480
or, you know, singing the right words to their own national anthem.
00:53:10.660
As much as I don't like to use the word weaponized, Canada has most certainly weaponized the concept of apathy.
00:53:18.980
Industrial-grade apathy defines their leadership.
00:53:23.100
It defines their culture and their educational system.
00:53:29.400
there's a good chance that nobody in the country will even care.
00:53:32.440
But we should care down here in the United States.
00:53:36.660
It's a big problem for us that our neighbor to the north has become a third-world country through importation.
1.00
00:53:42.380
The simple fact that we share a border means that we are going to inherit many of Canada's problems by osmosis.
00:53:51.540
Now, at the same time, on the bright side, we're also going to continue to attract many of Canada's brightest thinkers
00:53:57.300
There's a reason Canadians haven't won a Stanley Cup since the early 1990s.
00:54:03.740
And if we want to keep it that way, and we should,
00:54:06.420
then we should pay close attention to what's happening in Toronto and Calgary.
00:54:10.480
And we should vow to never let that kind of dysfunction and disinterest ever take hold here at home.
00:54:18.100
And that is why Canada, the whole country, is today, once again, canceled.
00:54:30.660
Dick Cheney dies, Nancy Pelosi retires, and Democrats pin their Election Day hopes on communists, Muslims, and psychos.
