00:00:14.880 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

00:00:46.040 and more today on the Matt Wall Show.

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,

00:02:09.660 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,

00:02:57.680 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

00:18:42.980 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.

00:36:00.820 And, and here's the latest. Watch this.

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

00:43:38.960 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.

00:45:25.740 Listen.

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

00:47:00.220 I said I was over 25. I had to pull 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

00:48:02.900 probably hitting everybody one more time.

00:48:05.360 I don't know. 0.65

00:48:35.360 Get down.

00:48:36.140 We'll deal with you. 0.50

00:48:37.440 We'll deal with you.

00:48:38.460 Get down, please.

00:48:39.400 Get down.

00:48:40.440 Get down.

00:48:41.880 Stop resisting.

00:48:43.520 Give me your arm.

00:48:46.380 Stop resisting.

00:48:55.580 Well, you know, dysfunction of this magnitude has many, many causes.

00:49:00.420 Everybody knows that.

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.

00:49:09.040 I mean, there is no national pride in Canada.

00:49:11.140 Outside of some places, places like Alberta,

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.

00:49:25.180 It doesn't include you.

00:49:26.380 Present company excluded.

00:49:27.880 But on a national level, mediocrity is the norm.

00:49:33.300 It's expected.

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.

00:49:39.880 And now Canada itself is unrecognizable.

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.

00:50:05.000 So this is not conjecture.

00:50:06.280 It's not an estimation.

00:50:07.600 She's quoting directly from the Calgary Board of Education,

00:50:10.040 which published this document.

00:50:11.940 You can see the document there.

00:50:13.160 One third of Canadian public school students are learning English as an additional language.

00:50:17.760 So they're ESL, in other words.

00:50:19.780 Meanwhile, over the past four years, the number of students with special needs

00:50:22.880 has grown by 3,400 or roughly 15%.

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.

00:50:38.100 And it's just a fact of life, apparently.

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,

00:50:47.600 which is begging for more money.

00:50:49.760 Here's the slide where they demand taxpayer money to hire interpreters.

00:50:54.140 Quote,

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

00:51:06.420 although it probably doesn't need to be said,

00:51:08.260 is that their government is promising free stuff to everybody who enters the country.

00:51:11.920 As the National Post reporter pointed out,

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,

00:51:23.200 to enroll their children in free school.

00:51:26.460 Quote,

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,

00:51:43.080 Jamie called her local school board,

00:51:45.260 and they confirmed to her that,

00:51:46.520 quote,

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,

00:52:21.180 is suffering in very observable ways,

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

00:52:30.780 getting worse than it already is.

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,

00:52:55.900 but that's a separate conversation.

00:52:58.120 Of course, most Canadians in positions of power, you know, don't care about the fact that,

00:53:02.300 again, indigenous literature is non-existent.

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.

00:53:26.120 By the time Canada finally collapses for good,

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

00:53:56.120 and their highest performers.

00:53:57.300 There's a reason Canadians haven't won a Stanley Cup since the early 1990s.

00:54:00.660 Most of the real talent heads south.

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.

00:54:25.220 That'll do it for the show today.

00:54:26.120 Thanks for watching. Thanks for listening.

00:54:27.240 Talk to you tomorrow. Have a great day.

00:54:28.980 Godspeed. 0.99

00:54:30.660 Dick Cheney dies, Nancy Pelosi retires, and Democrats pin their Election Day hopes on communists, Muslims, and psychos. 0.97

00:54:42.100 Check it out on The Michael Knowles Show. 0.78

00:54:43.340 We'll see you tomorrow.

00:54:43.960 Go, take it out.

00:54:44.060 Bye-bye.

00:54:48.540 Thank you.

00:54:51.780 Bye-bye.
