00:00:31.680 Today on the Matt Wall Show, our elections in America are now being decided based on tribal

00:00:36.900 blood feuds in Africa.

00:00:38.200 That appears to be the case anyway, and we'll talk about it.

00:00:41.380 On a related note, a clip goes viral of a 100-year-old World War II veteran lamenting that the sacrifice

00:00:47.020 wasn't worth it, which is a tragic thought, but is it true?

00:00:50.640 Did they fight for Western civilization, only for Western civilization to be surrendered to

00:00:54.100 the enemy anyway?

00:00:54.700 Anyway, also, Trump unveils a plan for 50-year mortgages to make housing more affordable.

00:02:46.520 There was one result from last week's election that, as you may remember, actually seemed

00:02:52.840 like a tiny sliver of good news.

00:02:54.760 And it came, of all places, from the city of Minneapolis, otherwise known as Little Mogadishu,

00:02:59.360 otherwise known as the single worst place in the world to spend a fake $20 bill.

00:03:04.080 Despite concerns that a Muslim socialist from Somalia named Omar Fateh would win the mayor's

00:03:08.620 race, ultimately Fateh was defeated.

00:03:09.960 The incumbent mayor, Jacob Fry, emerged victorious by just about 8,000 votes.

00:03:16.520 Now, Fry, of course, is a weasel and a terrible person and a terrible politician, most famous

00:03:23.660 for genuflecting and pretending to cry before George Floyd's golden casket.

00:03:27.560 But Fry, for all of his many obvious faults, was not the worst-case scenario.

00:03:34.020 There were a small number of very bad ideas that he actually opposed, believe it or not.

00:03:39.600 Omar Fateh, on the other hand, would have been the Zoran Mamdani of Minneapolis.

00:03:43.000 He wanted rent control, he wanted to dismantle the police department, and above all, he wanted

00:03:47.760 to loot the treasury for the benefit of a hostile foreign country.

00:03:51.540 And although it was a close race, Fateh lost.

00:03:54.400 It was an apparent sign that Minneapolis, at least, wasn't quite as far gone as New York.

00:04:00.020 The election indicated that maybe socialism and Somali interests aren't as popular in Minneapolis

00:04:05.880 as we thought. So, you know, that was good news, or what passes for good news these days, or so it

00:04:12.960 seemed. But it turns out that, in a very convoluted way, foreign influence and mass migration and

00:04:19.600 tribalism may indeed have led to the defeat of Omar Fateh, who would have been the first Muslim and

00:04:26.220 Somali mayor of Minneapolis. And that's because Somalis are divided into various clans, many of which

00:04:33.040 are openly hostile to one another, because this is how it works in Africa. So even though there are 1.00

00:04:38.420 something like 80,000 Somalis in Minneapolis, many of them may not have voted for Omar Fateh because

00:04:43.520 he didn't belong to their clan. And in a race that was decided by 8,000 votes, that is potentially very

00:04:49.640 significant. So this is one post I saw on social media explaining the phenomenon and how it might

00:04:54.580 have impacted the race on Tuesday. Quote, a significant number of Somalians in Minneapolis didn't vote

00:04:59.680 for ethnic Somali mayoral candidate Omar Fateh. Due to Fateh being part of the Daruud clan rather than

00:05:07.160 the Hawiyeh, these deep-seated clan wars allowed Mayor Jacob Frye to rally key community leaders from

00:05:14.140 the Hawiyeh clan to hold off a challenge from Fateh. Representative Ilhan Omar, who endorsed Fateh and is

00:05:20.840 part of the Daruud clan, is apparently the next target of the Hawiyeh community leaders as they are 0.99

00:05:27.380 bolded by their proxy victory over the Daruud in the mayoral election. She will possibly face a

00:05:32.900 primary challenge on tribal grounds. So that was the post. Now this is one of those posts that

00:05:38.400 admittedly, it seems a little on the nose. It sounds a lot like something that a right-winger

00:05:42.620 would come up with as a way of parodying the state of play in Minneapolis politics. And I'll

00:05:48.620 acknowledge that, you know, there's no polling or mainstream source that I could find that backs this

00:05:54.700 up. They didn't do any exit polls about, like, what Somali clan do you belong to. Now, of course,

00:06:01.360 that's not surprising because no mainstream news organization or pollster has ever bothered to ask

00:06:05.460 Somalis in Minneapolis about their clan membership and how it might affect their vote. And this is

00:06:09.280 just not a thing that the mainstream media wants to investigate. So you're not going to find that kind

00:06:16.460 of evidence for this. And that said, though, over the past couple of days, a man named Drew

00:06:22.280 Pavlou has collected a few social media reactions from small Somali accounts that support this

00:06:27.540 theory. Pavlou reports that, quote, there's an emerging consensus on Somali TikTok and Twitter

00:06:32.100 that inter-clan conflict sunk Omar Fateh's mayoral campaign in Minneapolis. A significant number

00:06:38.180 of Somalis apparently voted against him due to his Somali clan. At a minimum, this is definitely a 1.00

00:06:45.440 phenomenon that the so-called Somali community in Minneapolis is talking about at the moment.

00:06:50.640 Here's just one example. Quote, very embarrassing that some Somalis voted for a Kadan over a Somali

00:06:58.300 brother. Kabya Alad is now poisoning Western politics. Now, best I can tell, a Kadan is a white 1.00

00:07:09.040 person, not a Star Wars character. And Kabya Alad refers to Somalia's system of clan-based identity

00:07:17.480 and loyalty. So this person is lamenting the fact that instead of voting for the Somali

00:07:22.400 candidate, Omar Fateh, Somalis voted for Jacob Fry, that dastardly Kadan, because they didn't like 1.00

00:07:29.580 Omar Fateh's clan identity. And here's a few more posts along those lines from YouTube. These people

00:07:34.120 are referring to Jacob Fry's campaign strategy. Quote, this guy is taking advantage of tribal 0.61

00:07:38.780 politics. We're too easy. This guy understands how to divide our people. And then, and when they say

00:07:44.300 our people, again, of course, they're not talking about Americans because they don't consider

00:07:47.080 themselves to be American and they're not, they're talking about Somalis. And there's a few 0.99

00:07:51.500 more quotes in Somali that I ran through Google translator, but Google had no idea what they

00:07:55.820 were saying either. And then there's this TikTok video, which makes the point about as clearly

00:08:00.920 as you possibly can. Watch. This is wild. Imagine losing a Somali mayor because of tribalism,

00:08:09.160 qabeel. Yeah, Omar Fateh called out to his Somali community and said, vote for me. The Somali community

00:08:16.400 responded, what's your qabeel? Omar Fateh, educated, qualified, confused, looks to his left and he sees his

00:08:28.080 opponent, Jacob, being welcomed as Somali, given a tribe, Hawia, and was giving a Somali name. His opponent

00:08:39.940 got clanned before vote. This is now what political analysis in America looks like. This, this is what

00:08:48.480 it looks like and sounds like. And if these clips are accurate and they appear to be, then there's a very

00:08:54.900 good chance that American elections are now being decided based on tribal blood feuds in Africa.

00:09:03.280 I mean, how long until voters have to declare their clan affiliation instead of their party

00:09:06.800 affiliation? Is this what our ancestors had in mind? Does anyone think that? If you've never read them,

00:09:14.280 it's worth taking a look at the Federalist Papers or George Washington's Farewell Address. The founders

00:09:18.840 didn't just warn about the influence of political factions. They also specifically warned about the

00:09:23.440 influence of foreign attachments and intrigues that caused people to become bitter and hostile to

00:09:29.040 Republican liberty. Well, here's what that looks like in practice. This is what he's talking about.

00:09:34.780 Foreign attachments are now dictating the outcome of major elections from New York to Minneapolis.

00:09:40.280 And it's only a matter of time before these foreign loyalties lead to open racial warfare 0.78

00:09:44.720 and total dysfunction, just like they have in Somalia. 0.98

00:09:47.600 Now, you're going to have tribal gang warfare, Somali tribal warfare in Minneapolis.

00:09:57.140 Now, among other things, especially since it's almost Veterans Day, it's important to point out

00:10:00.720 what a grave betrayal this is. Over the past year or so, various commentators have floated the idea

00:10:06.200 that, you know, maybe we lost World War II in the long term. As the theory goes, yes, we defeated the 0.64

00:10:13.480 Axis powers, saved the West, and so on. But it was a temporary victory because instead of fighting us 0.94

00:10:18.720 on the battlefield, the enemies of Western civilization have spent the better part of the

00:10:21.700 last century simply walking in through the front door. And now they're all here. And as a result,

00:10:29.580 the argument goes, many of those sacrifices, hundreds of thousands of casualties, were made in vain.

00:10:35.900 Now, in response, it's become fashionable to decry these commentators as members of the so-called

00:10:40.940 woke right, just to not even engage with the thought at all. And it's certainly easy to dismiss

00:10:48.840 their claims for various reasons, and many people have done so, but it becomes a lot harder to dismiss

00:10:52.940 these arguments when you listen to the words of actual veterans of World War II, people who I

00:10:59.100 certainly hope would not be labeled woke right by the commentariat on X. And many of them are now

00:11:06.920 stating in sum and substance that the war wasn't worth it, that we didn't actually win, that we're

00:11:13.720 losing everything they fought for. They're taking a look around the country and the West in general,

00:11:19.320 and they're recoiling in disgust. Here's one example that you may have seen. This is from an interview

00:11:27.260 on FOX 13 in Tampa. Listen.

00:11:31.660 And people don't realize what they have. They bitch about it. And then nowadays, I am so upset 0.97

00:11:41.660 that the things we did and the things we fought for and the boys that died for it, it's all gone down the drain.

00:11:50.060 Our country's gone to hell in a handbasket. We haven't got the country we had when I was raised. Not at all.

00:12:00.460 Nobody will have the fun I had. Nobody will have the opportunity I had. It's just not the same.

00:12:09.260 And that's not what our boys, that's not what they died for.

00:12:17.660 That's very upsetting to watch. It's become a pretty big genre of footage online. Many veterans of World War II

00:12:23.820 are saying the same thing one after another. So you may have seen this clip, which went very viral online.

00:12:29.420 This is from Good Morning Britain, and it's truly a very difficult clip to watch, just like the last one was.

00:12:38.140 It features a British World War II veteran, Alec Penstone, who is now 100 years old,

00:12:44.300 and he served in the Royal Navy during the D-Day invasion. This is the kind of man whose opinion of,

00:12:51.980 you know, the state of things right now we should listen to and take very seriously. And, well, listen to it.

00:12:57.660 What does Remembrance Sunday mean for you? What is your message?

00:13:04.460 My message is, I can see in my mind's eye there was rows and rows of white stones of all the hundreds of

00:13:13.900 my friends and everybody else that gave their lives for what? The country of today. No, I'm sorry.

00:13:22.780 But the sacrifice wasn't worth the result that it is now.

00:13:28.540 Oh, well, I'm sorry.

00:13:30.700 What do you mean by that, though, at this point?

00:13:34.220 Well, what we fought for, and what we fought for was our freedom.

00:13:39.580 We fought for it. Even now, it's a darn sight worse than what it was when I fought for it.

00:13:48.220 Oh, Alec, I'm sorry you feel like that, because I want you to know that all the generations that

00:13:53.420 have come since, including me and my children, are so grateful for your bravery and all that for

00:14:00.780 service personnel. Now, when you watch that, maybe you didn't notice the headlines crawling across the

00:14:10.300 bottom there. And one of them said, police are looking for Algerian sex offender released in error.

00:14:19.500 That's what the headline said.

00:14:22.540 So the whole thing is, I mean, you couldn't ask for a better or, you know, a clearer or more tragic

00:14:28.620 illustration of where we are right now, that you've got this elderly man saying the sacrifice

00:14:35.340 wasn't worth the liquid this country has become. And then as he is saying that, Algerian sex offender 0.99

00:14:41.420 released from prison in error. Now, it's hard enough to listen to what Alec Penstone is saying.

00:14:46.380 He fought in some of those pivotal battles of World War II. Many of his friends died in the war.

00:14:52.300 And now he looks around Britain and he sees a country that's been completely conquered.

00:14:56.940 When he was in his 20s and 30s and 40s, Britain didn't have more than a million Africans. They

00:15:01.500 barely had any African migrants at all. Britain was full of British people. And they didn't arrest 0.99

00:15:08.700 people for exercising their free speech rights, nor did they mutilate children in the name of gender

00:15:12.060 ideology. It was a cohesive, wealthy, sane, British country. And all of that has changed.

00:15:20.860 And yet somehow, even after hearing all this from Alec Penstone himself, the female host manages to 1.00

00:15:26.300 make the clip even worse. And as it goes on, it gets worse, because it goes on for another minute or

00:15:31.020 two. We'll only play the first minute. But she's talking to this man in this grating tone,

00:15:42.620 talking to him like she's a kindergarten teacher and he's a four-year-old, upset because he misses his

00:15:49.180 mommy. She's not addressing him like he is a grown man, an elderly man who fought for

00:15:58.140 her country and deserves respect. And when he's telling you something like this, you should

00:16:05.340 listen to him and want to hear more. Not, oh, I'm sorry, you feel that way.

00:16:14.540 Basically cuts him off in the most patronizing tone imaginable before he can elaborate on why

00:16:19.820 exactly the country has gone to hell. But there's nothing particularly controversial about what he said,

00:16:24.460 even in Britain. It's now the prevailing sentiment in the country that Britain's culture has been

00:16:29.260 subverted and destroyed by open borders. This is from the Daily Mail, quote,

00:16:32.620 research from King's College London and pollsters at Ipsos found that eight in 10 said they felt the

00:16:39.340 nation was divided up five percentage points from two years ago and 10 points from 2020. And half of

00:16:44.700 the public said Britain's culture was changing too fast. Well, strikingly, the findings found that the

00:16:49.660 national pride across all age groups also plummeted with less than half, 46 percent saying they were

00:16:55.260 proud of their country down 10 points from 2020. Now, why might that be? The anchor woman's co-host, 0.83

00:17:03.820 a man named Adil Ray, probably has some ideas as to why the West has fallen, why no one feels any national

00:17:10.620 pride anymore. Even though he's a, you know, a British TV host, Adil Ray recently had some thoughts

00:17:15.980 about the mayoral election in New York. And here's what he wrote earlier this month. This is one of

00:17:21.340 the guys that was said, this is the guy that was sitting on the couch with the, with the veteran.

00:17:25.580 Some say Mamdani may implement Sharia law. He might. The heart of Sharia is social justice,

00:17:31.420 welfare, fairness, charity, and cohesion. Most Muslim countries operate a hybrid of Sharia and civil law, 0.95

00:17:37.420 are slowly reforming and abandoning unethical practices despite the West's portrayal.

00:17:41.660 So it's good to have Sharia law. It's a good thing to have Sharia law in New York, he says. 1.00

00:17:52.060 Yes, those are the words of a TV host who just pretended to be shocked, absolutely shocked,

00:17:57.580 that a World War II veteran was unhappy with the state of Britain and how it's changed for the worst.

00:18:04.060 He's openly endorsing Sharia law, saying it's not so bad. And he kept his job after this. He was 0.85

00:18:09.420 allowed to interview this veteran and act completely clueless about what Alec Pennstone was getting at.

00:18:13.980 What do you mean by that? He asked incredulously. Well, he openly represents exactly what Mr.

00:18:21.980 Pennstone was talking about. He is the problem, along with his co-host.

00:18:28.540 Of course, they act like they don't understand what he's talking about, but everybody knows.

00:18:31.980 The man fought for his country. And today he looks around and sees that it has surrendered

00:18:38.700 itself to a third world invasion. Men like him, white men who built his country are demonized and

00:18:44.380 scapegoated again and again. And while lawless migrants rape and kill in the street, the government 1.00

00:18:50.460 focuses energies on arresting people who say insulting things about, you know, transgenders on the internet. 0.96

00:18:55.820 That's what he means. That's what he sees in his final years. He gave everything to the cause of

00:19:03.660 preserving Western civilization. And now the thing that he fought to preserve is slipping away.

00:19:07.660 It was sacrificed on the altar of multiculturalism. It was surrendered by, you know, smiley patronizing 0.79

00:19:13.100 liberals shouting slogans like diversity is our strength. He fought for his country, for England. And

00:19:19.500 today England is gone. So of course he thinks it wasn't worth it.

00:19:25.980 And the really awful truth is that as difficult as it may be to admit, and as much as the

00:19:30.300 sing-songy anchor woman doesn't want him to say it, he might be right. 1.00

00:19:36.860 That's ultimately up to us to decide. Will we pull Western civilization back

00:19:42.940 from the brink or let it die? And that choice ultimately is ours. Now let's get to our five headlines.

00:19:55.820 Being a husband, father, and host of my own show means life never slows down. Imagine trying to eat

00:20:02.220 31 different fruits and vegetables every day. Sounds miserable and time-consuming. Frankly,

00:20:06.780 I just don't want to do all that. I'd rather go get something deep fried and unhealthy on occasion.

00:21:15.740 really concerning. Just one year after an abortion, women were 50% more likely to need

00:21:20.780 psychiatric treatment and 87% more likely to experience personality or behavioral disorders.

00:21:26.540 These aren't just statistics. They represent real women facing real struggles, and that's why

00:22:29.420 Federal Housing Finance Agency Director Bill Pulte on Saturday said the Trump administration is

00:22:34.540 working on a plan to introduce 50-year mortgage terms for home buyers. Pulte wrote in a statement

00:22:40.780 on the social platform X, thanks to President Trump, we are indeed working on the 50-year mortgage,

00:22:45.100 a complete game changer. It followed a Truth Social post by President Trump earlier in the day,

00:22:49.340 where he shared a graphic just juxtaposing an image of him next to one of former President

00:22:53.660 Franklin D. Roosevelt. The administration that oversaw the new deal established the 30-year

00:22:58.460 mortgage standard to help citizens recover from the Great Depression. Similarly,

00:23:02.060 Trump campaigned on creating affordability for the younger generation last year,

00:23:04.620 but the president has faced headwinds on the subject more recently as prices rise.

00:23:08.620 Google searches for help with mortgage recently climbed to their highest level since 2009,

00:23:12.780 while adjustable rate mortgages, or ARMs, have also been trending. Um,

00:23:19.020 and so now he's, uh, so that's the 50-year mortgage is the thing that they're thinking will help

00:23:25.500 solve this problem. Now, uh,

00:23:28.460 I have to tell you, Trump has done a lot of great stuff this term, and I've talked about those things.

00:23:36.700 This is not one of the great things that he's done. In fact, I think that this is maybe the

00:23:40.380 worst idea that Trump has ever had. In fact, I think it certainly is. You know, solving the affordability

00:23:48.300 problem with a 50-year mortgage just completely misses the point. You know, it gets everything wrong.

00:23:56.860 Because all this means is that young people who take the step to own a home 0.90

00:24:01.340 will never actually own a home.

00:24:02.940 You know, your bank will own your home. And if you, if you, if you buy a home at

00:24:09.900 30 or 35 on a 50-year mortgage,

00:24:14.780 you're not going to own your home until you're in your 80s.

00:24:19.820 The bank will own it. So this just means that nobody will ever really own their home. The bank

00:24:24.300 will own it until they die and after. And so like, this is essentially just renting from the bank.

00:24:31.980 That's basically what this is. This is, this is a glorified version of renting,

00:24:37.020 but you're renting from the bank. The goal here should be to make it so that

00:24:41.820 more people can own homes, actually own them, not just live in them, own them. Like getting people to

00:24:52.300 live in houses is, that's not the problem. We can do that. We're doing that now.

00:24:57.820 Unless you're homeless, you, you live in some kind of house or apartment.

00:25:02.860 So that's, we don't have a problem of just getting people into a place where they have a roof over their

00:25:08.700 head. Everybody's already there. Again, unless you're a homeless drug addict on the street,

00:25:14.540 then you're, you live in some kind of domicile. No, the whole point, the, the American dream is to

00:25:23.980 own a place, to own it yourself so that it's yours, not to be indebted to the bank for life,

00:25:30.140 which is what this would do. That's all you accomplish here. You're giving young people more

00:25:36.220 debt. You're, you're, you're, you're making them debt slaves for longer than they otherwise would

00:25:41.100 have been. And it makes homeownership, actual homeownership, harder to achieve, not easier.

00:25:48.700 Okay. This is not the way to do it. And along with all the other problems, you're also increasing

00:25:54.060 the amount of interest that people will be paying by a staggering amount. You're basically doubling

00:25:57.580 the lifetime interest that you'd pay on like a 30 year mortgage. So for example, if you take,

00:26:01.980 if you, uh, took out a, uh, you know, say a $300,000 loan at six or 7% on a 30 year mortgage,

00:26:09.180 you're going to pay like three or 400 grand in interest. Uh, someone's going to check my math

00:26:16.220 and it's going to turn out to be all wrong, but you know, so the point is that on a 50 year,

00:26:20.300 if that's the interest that you would pay, now you're paying like seven or 800 grand.

00:26:23.740 Uh, and, uh, if you, if you buy a home, you know, let's say you, uh, you take out a loan

00:26:32.060 of for 500,000, you're looking at 50 year mortgage. You're looking at like a million dollars in interest

00:26:38.300 that you're going to pay over 50 years. You'll, you'll be paying just the interest for decades.

00:26:45.580 And so this is a terrible, I mean, this is a terrible idea and you're building up equity much,

00:26:54.700 much slower because I guess the argument you could make that, well, it's not exactly like

00:26:58.220 renting from the bank because when you rent an apartment and then you move out, you don't have

00:27:03.420 any equity in it at all. You just move and that's it. But at least on a 50 year mortgage,

00:27:09.500 if you live there for 10 years, live there for 15 years, and then you move, you've built up some

00:27:13.500 equity. Like you can get something out of it. But, um, but with a 50 year mortgage, I mean,

00:27:21.740 the equity you're building up is so slow that you could, you know, you can live in your home for 15

00:27:27.260 years. And then when you go to sell it, you're not getting that much back out of it because you're

00:27:32.220 only like whatever, 20, 30% of the way through your mortgage. So, um, so I don't see this. And also,

00:27:40.620 by the way, this is not going to drive down the cost of housing, which is the whole

00:27:43.480 point ostensibly because the, the longer loan means lower monthly payments. That's the whole

00:27:49.320 idea, right? That's why they're doing it is that you have a lower monthly payment,

00:27:53.000 but you're not. So, so then you are in the short term, you're going to increase demand,

00:27:57.560 like more people, cause it's a lower monthly payment, more people will be able to quote

00:28:00.280 unquote afford it. So you're increasing demand, but you're not increasing the supply.

00:28:06.840 And again, I'm not, I'm no economist at all, but this is like basic economic economics,

00:28:11.640 what I want. You're increasing the demand, but not the supply. So when demand goes up,

00:28:18.520 but supply does not go up along with it, what, what happens to prices? Well, they go up.

00:28:24.840 So I don't see how this helps the average person at all. It helps banks. Sure. It helps mortgage

00:28:29.480 lenders. Uh, but it doesn't help people. You know, this is like, this, this is very much the mentality

00:28:39.480 of when we talked on the show a little while ago about one of the newest innovations and making

00:28:45.940 things affordable is that now you can have a payment plan for food that you buy on, on DoorDash.

00:28:52.140 So if you get a burrito bowl from Chipotle, you can, you know, you can pay for it in four easy

00:28:57.760 installments. And so in the short term, does that make food more affordable? Is it more affordable

00:29:07.120 quote unquote, to have your lunch delivered because you're paying less upfront or nothing at all? Maybe

00:29:11.280 you could, I don't know how it works exactly, but, um, you're paying less or you're paying nothing upfront.

00:29:16.360 So that means that, yeah, like today, if I want to get a burrito bowl today, it will be quote unquote

00:29:23.620 cheaper today because I'm going to pay for it in monthly installments. I'm going to take out a

00:29:28.980 mortgage on my burrito bowl and I'm going to pay for it. Uh, but in the longer term, not even like

00:29:38.300 really long-term, but just a little bit longer term, you're paying more. Like you, you've made burritos

00:29:44.260 much, much, much, much more expensive than they otherwise would have been. Food becomes more

00:29:50.460 expensive by adding payment plans and interest to it. Uh, not less. And this is the same thing you're

00:29:55.300 making, you're making housing more affordable by making it less affordable. That's the, that's the

00:30:02.700 genius plan. And I just think it's ridiculous. Um, if you want to drive down housing costs, 0.95

00:30:11.460 well, I'll tell you what you can do.

00:30:14.260 It's a multifaceted problem. There's not one thing that's going to solve the entire problem.

00:30:19.740 It's true that it is a problem. It's a way too expensive to buy a house. It's ridiculously expensive.

00:30:28.360 That is a problem. Americans should be able to provide it that you are, that you go out and you

00:30:37.120 get a job and you're sort of like doing your part. Um, then you should be able to own a home,

00:30:42.900 to own property. I mean, I'm a big believer in that. That's, um, everyone should, should be able

00:30:48.060 to, uh, doesn't mean you have like a right to it. Okay. We don't all have a right, a human right to

00:30:56.220 own a home, but in a functioning society, it, this is something that people should be able to do,

00:31:03.180 provided they would go out, they get a job, they can, they do all that. This is supposed to be the

00:31:07.460 American dream. You go out, you work hard, buy a house, have a family. I mean, that's the way

00:31:13.660 these things are supposed to work. And if it gets to a point where that's just impossible for wide

00:31:19.620 swaths of the population, well, then things aren't working. And that's where we are right now. It's not

00:31:25.360 working. It's not working for Americans. The American dream is, um, untenable for a lot of

00:31:37.060 Americans. So here's one way to address this problem. Get the illegal immigrants out of our 1.00

00:31:47.220 country. Okay. We have tens of, we don't even know how many, how many are here. We don't know. 0.99

00:31:54.100 Nobody knows. Tens of millions. I mean, you'll hear some say, well, 20 million. They've been

00:32:01.060 saying 20 million since I was in high school. So it's certainly more than that.

00:32:08.100 What's the real number? 40 million, 50 million, 80 million, a hundred million. I don't know.

00:32:14.760 Tens of millions of illegal immigrants, people that do not belong in this country are here 1.00

00:32:18.780 and they're living in their living places. I mean, some of them are living out on the street,

00:32:24.340 but a lot of them are living in homes.

00:32:29.180 You could increase the supply really quickly. If you rounded these people up and got them out of

00:32:35.140 this country, give America back to Americans. We don't need 50 year mortgages. 0.84

00:32:40.480 That's not what we need. If anything, if you want to do something for 50 years, how about a 50 year

00:32:46.600 immigration moratorium? If anything.

00:32:51.320 We want a 50 year plan. How about that?

00:32:54.920 How about closing the door and saying, we are full. We, this is it. We're at capacity.

00:33:02.680 If you don't belong here, get the hell out. This America is for Americans. Sorry, we can't take you. 1.00

00:33:07.800 Sorry. I know you want to come here from Somalia. I know you want to come here from, 1.00

00:33:12.360 from wherever you're coming. You want to come here from South Asia. You want to come here from 1.00

00:33:15.240 Sub-Saharan Africa. You want to come here from Central America. Sorry, we can't take you. 1.00

00:33:21.640 We're at capacity. Our priority is not you. It's America. This is our country. Go back to your

00:33:29.660 own country and make your own country better for your people. That's what you do if you want to make

00:33:36.620 housing affordable. If we rounded up all the illegal immigrants and 1.00

00:33:43.740 expelled them from the country in a week, I know it's not going to happen. A week is 0.67

00:33:50.020 certainly probably too aggressive, but let's just say we did. But hypothetically,

00:33:56.560 what do you think happens to housing prices? They definitely don't go up. I'll tell you that.

00:34:01.940 So, um, this is what I want to see. And this is also why, uh, I have no patience for the people to

00:34:12.460 say, you know, well, we shut down the border. We don't, do we really need to go round up all the

00:34:20.060 mass deportations? Is that really, that's not fair. That's not fair. That's cruel.

00:34:28.340 Well, no, it's unfair to let them stay here. They don't belong here. This is not their country. 0.83

00:34:32.380 And they're making it harder for everyone else to live.

00:34:38.640 So how about that plan? That's my, that's, that's my plan instead of our 50 year mortgage

00:34:43.380 plan. Uh, let's see. Update on this, the New York Post, the transgender person caught up in a

00:34:52.660 viral Los Angeles gym bathroom row have been convicted of assaulting their now ex-wife while

00:34:59.340 living in Ohio as a man before taking the victim's first name as their own. Alexis Black ran afoul of

00:35:06.640 women at a gym in Beverly Hills, including singer songwriter Tish Hyman, who accused them of exposing

00:35:11.380 himself and harassing her in the locker room. Black formerly Grant Freeman pleaded guilty in 2022

00:35:16.080 to savagely beating his wife, Alexis Freeman, causing a compound fractured jaw, uh, among other

00:35:22.900 serious injuries. Court documents from Hamilton County said Kyle Grant Freeman caused serious physical

00:35:29.040 harm to the victim. The victim suffered a compound fractured mandible, which resulted in her needing

00:35:33.840 surgery. Um, uh, black who's transitioning has since shot down the claims insisting at TMZ that he

00:35:42.000 was fully covered, uh, rather, or the, uh, jumped ahead a little bit. Um, he was, uh, you know, accused

00:35:49.220 as we saw all of being fully exposed in this, uh, in this bathroom. He's, he's said that, uh, he was

00:35:55.540 fully covered and denying that anything inappropriate unfolded ahead of the caught on camera fracas.

00:35:59.900 Okay. So we followed this case on the show. There's not a lot else to be said about it, but I did want

00:36:04.260 to pass along this, this entirely unsurprising update. Uh, this dude is apparently reportedly,

00:36:10.680 according to this report is a woman beater, a wife beater. And now here he is a LARPing as a woman 0.94

00:36:17.100 and showing up in the locker rooms. And not only that, but we learned that his wife's name, I guess

00:36:22.200 his ex-wife is Alexis and his name is Grant, but the name he took when he trans quote unquote

00:36:31.040 transitioned is Alexis. So he beat his wife and took her name, beat her and literally tried to 0.68

00:36:37.000 become her. And this is very common by the way. I mean, this is very common. You find this very often

00:36:43.600 with these married middle-aged dudes who suddenly start identifying as trans very often. They will

00:36:49.760 take their wife's name. They certainly will wear their wife's clothing. That's usually where all 1.00

00:36:55.180 this starts. And they'll try to look like their wives. You know, sometimes you'll see these before 1.00

00:37:03.460 and after things on, on, uh, uh, images on social media of some guy bragging about his, uh, quote unquote

00:37:11.620 transition. And, you know, maybe you see the wife, it's like you see the first photo and he's just a

00:37:18.340 regular guy with his wife. Right. And then you see the transition photo and it's like, it looks

00:37:25.940 like he switched places. Oh, he looks like, he looks like a bizarro version of the wife in the first 0.96

00:37:31.340 photo. So this is very common. And, um, you know, they model their fake womanhood after their wives. 0.99

00:37:39.080 It's a kind of, it's like this kind of a, this kind of sexual cannibalism. They try to consume and 0.92

00:37:44.320 become their wives. I mean, the psychology at play here is really dark. Okay. This is pure

00:37:50.840 horror movie stuff going on. And, and then you're unleashing these same guys into women's locker 0.83

00:37:57.440 rooms. The other thing I wanted to point out in the article is, is the language that the article

00:38:04.340 uses. And this is a shift that I've noticed. It's far, it's, um, I think it's far more significant

00:38:11.980 than most people give it credit for. So you notice how in the article in the New York post refers to

00:38:18.460 this man as a heat. Actually, what weirdly in the first couple of paragraphs, the article uses the

00:38:26.840 they pronoun, but then it, it shifts suddenly in one sentence and starts using he. So you end up with

00:38:34.660 this bizarre sentence. Alexis black ran afoul of women at the gym in Beverly Hills, including singer, 1.00

00:38:39.120 songwriter, Tish Hyman, who accused them of exposing himself and harassing her in the locker room.

00:38:48.180 I mean, that sentence doesn't make any, that doesn't make any sense.

00:38:53.500 Accused them of exposing himself and harassing her in the locker room. I have no idea who,

00:38:59.040 what's going on here. If I, if you didn't have any context and you read that sentence, you would have

00:39:03.000 no clue who did what them, him, her, as you're using all three in the same sentence. So, um,

00:39:11.900 but then they shift into he, him, and they use that pronoun through the rest of the article.

00:39:20.700 And I've noticed this with other outlets as well. Uh, now some of the, if you're NBC news or CBS,

00:39:26.920 they, they still have not made this jump. I don't know if they ever will, but I've noticed this,

00:39:32.840 uh, with more and more outlets that they are slowly, but surely, uh, uh, getting away from

00:39:40.620 playing the preferred pronoun game. And this is one of the kind of last dominoes that needed to fall 0.77

00:39:50.040 for the pro trans side. I've wondered when media outlets would finally give it up, finally just stop

00:39:54.980 playing the language game. Cause five years ago, they were doing this to pander to a certain

00:40:01.020 audience. And now that audience is dwindling and dwindling. It's like, who are you even pandering

00:40:05.760 to anymore? So, uh, it seems like that domino has started to fall, which I think is a very

00:40:13.960 significant. Okay. Finally, we have, we have, we have to mention this. Sydney Sweeney was, uh,

00:40:18.200 interviewed by GQ. You've certainly have seen this by now, but, uh, this is a moment in the

00:40:23.800 interview that's gotten a lot of attention. It's the moment when the reporter, Catherine

00:40:28.660 Stoffel tried to get her to apologize for her good genes ad that everybody pretended to be upset

00:40:34.100 about. And if somehow you have not seen this yet, well, here was a Sydney's response, which was

00:40:39.700 quite perfect. The criticism of the content, which was basically that maybe specifically in this

00:40:47.040 political climate, like white people shouldn't joke about genetic superiority. Like that was kind of

00:40:54.180 like the criticism, broadly speaking. And since you are talking about this, I just wanted to give you

00:40:58.360 an opportunity to talk about that specifically. I think that when I have an issue that I want to

00:41:06.260 speak about, people will hear. So that's a perfect response. Uh, maybe Sydney Sweeney really is based. 0.50

00:41:13.040 I don't know. I confess I was really skeptical of the Sydney Sweeney is based narrative. I was

00:41:17.940 skeptical. I was skeptical because only because literally every other time we're told a celebrity

00:41:22.960 is based, it turns out to be false. Every other time we're told that a celebrity, this is really a

00:41:27.540 right winger in disguise. Every other time it has not been true. And maybe this is the one time when

00:41:33.580 it is true. I don't know, but you notice two things here. And first of all, of course, there's the

00:41:38.920 question from the reporter. This is, this is every leftist millennial woman in a nutshell. This is 1.00

00:41:43.600 every, you know, female HR rep you'll ever encounter. Every female corporate drone, almost 1.00

00:41:49.940 every female you'll find in media or politics. It's all right there. All right there. The smarmy 1.00

00:41:55.400 up talking tone, the smug facial expression. And most of all, the, the attempts to manipulate and

00:42:03.020 control you while framing it passive aggressively as a, as an opportunity. So she says, I just want

00:42:10.480 to give you the opportunity. I just want to give you the opportunity to apologize. I want to grant

00:42:15.600 you, I'm going to generously grant you the opportunity. You know, I really just, I just want to, I want to

00:42:22.380 take a moment and give you, I want to give you the chance. I want to give you the, the chance to

00:42:27.800 grovel. You know, I really want to give you the chance to grovel and fall before my feet

00:42:33.360 in remorse. I just really like to give you the opportunity to, to prostrate yourself before me

00:42:41.680 and, and beg for my pardon. That's what I really would just want. I just want to give you the

00:42:47.200 opportunity. It's like they're, they're taking you up to the guillotine and saying, I just want to get,

00:42:54.380 I just want to give, I want to give you the opportunity to put your head right there.

00:42:58.400 Just put your, I want to, I want to, I wanted to really give you the chance. I wanted to really

00:43:01.900 give you an opportunity to put your, put your head right there and have it removed from your

00:43:06.360 shoulders. I just really wanted to, because I figured you want the opportunity. You would want

00:43:12.300 the opportunity to put your head right there. So this is, this is the tyranny that we live under.

00:43:19.360 This is what it looks like and sounds like. It doesn't even have the integrity to be honest

00:43:23.880 about what it is. Cause at least in the old days, if they're going to cut your head off,

00:43:29.080 like they're pretty clear that this is what we're doing to you. You don't have a choice.

00:43:34.160 Sorry about your luck. Actually not sorry. You deserve it. And so, you know, if they're going

00:43:40.260 to take you out, you would, you would prefer that. Just be honest. Just have the guts to look me in the

00:43:45.920 eye and tell me this is what's happening. But now they, uh, they, they, they won't even,

00:43:51.800 they won't even give you that. They won't even give you that. And, uh, it just smiles. This is

00:43:58.360 what they do. They smile smugly and they give you that ridiculous look with that grating up talking 0.99

00:44:05.680 tone, giving you the opportunity. And then, um, so, you know, you note that that's one thing you 0.94

00:44:12.660 note, and then you note Sydney's answer, which is, uh, and it's, it's, which is exactly the right

00:44:16.560 way to answer. It's a very important. It's very important that she did not respond by claiming

00:44:22.500 that the ad was not racist. She was not defending the ad. She could have done that, right? I mean,

00:44:30.720 what they wanted was the apology, but if she wasn't going to give the apology, there were a couple of

00:44:34.140 other ways to go about it. And typically what people will, I mean, most people just give the

00:44:38.060 apology. That's what we've seen over the last, uh, many years as wokeness has taken over. Most

00:44:42.660 people, when they're given the opportunity to apologize, they will, um, uh, you know, they,

00:44:48.320 they will take advantage of the opportunity and they'll apologize. But then even on the,

00:44:53.520 the relatively rare occasion where someone refuses to apologize, usually they'll refuse to apologize

00:44:57.320 by explaining themselves, by defending themselves, by saying, well, that's not true.

00:45:01.280 That's not true. It's not racist, but she didn't do that. And that's critically important. This is

00:45:08.280 the principle that this is, this is, this is the principle that we should, this is the principle

00:45:12.700 I will live and die by. Never explain yourself, never justify it. When people start saying, explain

00:45:19.400 this, explain yourself, never do it. Right. When the mob comes for you, when the smarmy liberal

00:45:29.320 woman with that ridiculous look on her face come, when they come for you and they, they, 1.00

00:45:33.520 they want the explanation, you don't give it to them. And when they call you racist, the 0.99

00:45:40.620 appropriate answer is not, no, I'm not racist. No, the appropriate answer is, well, oh, you

00:45:50.560 think that? Well, I don't care that you think that. Oh, is that what you think? Okay. Thanks

00:45:57.200 for letting me know. It's what Sidney said. Do you want to explain yourself? Nope. I'm

00:46:03.560 good. Well, don't you, don't you want to explain, don't you want to, all these people, they,

00:46:09.400 they want you just to explain. No, I'm fine. You know, when I got something I want to talk

00:46:13.280 about, I'll let you know. But other than that, we're good. Anything else? That's it. And

00:46:19.740 that's the thing that that's the end of it. Once you've conveyed this, once you've made

00:46:23.400 it clear that you don't care what they think of you or what labels they put on you and

00:46:28.300 that you're not going to explain yourself, you're not going to justify yourself, you're

00:46:31.900 not going to defend yourself. Now, when I say not defend yourself, I mean, I mean, you're

00:46:37.400 going to, you're not going to lay down and just take it, but you're not going to be, to

00:46:40.780 be defensive. You're not going to defend yourself in the sense of, of, of rationalizing and explaining

00:46:45.600 and all these sorts of things. Um, you, you're going to refuse to be like the, the, um, on

00:46:53.960 the witness stand being interrogated and having to explain all of your, everything you did and

00:46:59.060 your whereabouts and where were you last night. But you know, you're, you're not going to do

00:47:02.140 that. You're not going to do it. And once you've, once you've made that clear, then they've

00:47:08.460 been stripped of their power. Really? They got nothing left.

00:47:15.600 Um, because the main power that they have over you is your desire to be accepted by

00:47:26.320 them. That's the main power that these people have is your desire to, for their acceptance

00:47:33.760 and for their approval. Now they do have other powers also, not quite to the extent that they

00:47:41.920 used to a few years ago, but they do have, there are other things that they can try to do

00:47:45.280 to screw your life up. But, uh, most of that they don't have over something like Sidney

00:47:50.380 Sweeney. They do have other powers, but the main power they have, the main weapon they

00:47:56.660 have at their disposal is your desire for their approval. And if you've made it clear that

00:48:02.400 you don't have that desire, well, then you've taken away, you haven't taken away necessarily

00:48:06.760 all of their arrows, but you've taken away most of them.

00:48:11.860 And that's what happened here. So I think that's, uh, that's great.

00:48:17.940 Pivotal moment, I think, in our culture right there. If you were taking a look at the nutrition

00:48:22.760 label on any typical bag of chips, find a chemical cocktail, seed oils, MSG, artificial dyes, vague,

00:48:29.340 natural flavors and ingredients that sound more like a science experiment than a snack.

00:48:32.880 Vandy crisps are part of something bigger, a movement back to real food, the kind our

00:48:38.740 grandparents ate before everything started getting made in labs. We're talking just three simple

00:48:42.960 ingredients here, 100% pesticide-free potatoes, sea salt, and 100% grass-fed beef tallow. That's

00:48:49.100 it. No seed oil, no mystery chemicals you can't pronounce, just actual food. And here's the thing,

00:48:54.060 these chips don't just avoid all the bad stuff. They taste incredible also. When you snack on

00:48:58.300 Vandy crisps, it's a completely different experience from regular chips. You'll feel satisfied and

00:49:02.780 energetic, not bloated or sluggish with that gross crash you get from the usual stuff. Plus,

00:49:07.820 because they're made with real ingredients, they're actually satiating, so you won't find yourself

00:49:11.680 mindlessly eating the whole bag and still feeling hungry afterwards. Vandy crisps has a lot of great

00:49:17.280 flavors worth trying, but their original flavor is personally my favorite, but they're all really good.

00:49:22.120 And if you love Vandy, then you'll love Massa chips. Massa, Vandy's sister company, makes the

00:49:25.900 most delicious three-ingredient tortilla chips I've ever tasted as well. Ready to give Vandy or Massa

00:50:23.920 Daily Wire.com slash subscribe. Now let's get to our Daily Cancellation.

00:50:34.380 Today for our Daily Cancellation, we have some tragic news. Here's the headline from The Economist.

00:50:39.340 With Trump and Vance in power, many pro-natalists believe this is the moment to jumpstart baby-making.

00:50:45.120 But some critics see pro-natalism as part of an insidious project to create a whiter America.

00:50:50.480 Yes, I regret to inform you that The Economist is on to us. They've broken the case wide open.

00:50:58.520 We white people, we can't hide anything from their crack team of investigators. They've somehow

00:51:03.040 discovered our insidious plot to continue existing. Scooby-Doo and the gang have ripped our masks off

00:51:09.500 and revealed our sinister plan to, you know, become not extinct. They're pointing their fingers at us

00:51:15.560 and charging us with the crime of wanting to be instead of not be. And we have no recourse but

00:51:21.960 to throw up our hands and say, you know, guilty as charged. You caught us. You got us. We want to

00:51:27.700 continue being instead of not be. We think that to be is better than to not be. That's how we've

00:51:37.220 answered the age-old question. So the writer of this article is someone named Barclay Bram, which

00:51:45.420 sounds less like the name of a human person and more like the name of an overpriced menswear brand

00:51:50.560 or something. But Barclay Bram apparently attended this year's NatalCon, a conference that focuses on

00:51:56.200 the problem of declining birth rates. Barclay was, of course, horrified by what he witnessed.

00:52:02.760 The people at this conference believe that human reproduction is good. Indeed, they would prefer

00:52:09.720 that human reproduce rather than not reproduce. They hold to the extremist view that the collapse

00:52:15.960 and disintegration of human society would be a bad thing. And worst of all, as the journalist notes

00:52:21.380 again and again, most of the people at this conference were white. And he makes this racial

00:52:25.940 point at least five times in the article, if you read it, which I don't recommend doing. It's kind of a

00:52:30.780 waste of time. But if you do, you'll find again and again and again, keeps going back to this.

00:52:35.800 So here's a sample. Quote, there was a sense among many at NatalCon that with Trump and Vance in power,

00:52:42.080 the moment to jumpstart American baby making had come at last. But those gathered outside the museum

00:52:46.040 on the opening night of the conference had a different impression. That pro-natalism was part

00:52:49.700 of a broader and more insidious project to create a whiter America. A group of protesters,

00:52:53.900 their faces mostly covered, gathered in the museum's courtroom, courtyard. Nazis off our campus, 0.61

00:52:58.840 they screamed through a megaphone as conference attendees streamed in. One side read eugenesis

00:53:04.180 with the word natalist cross through. At NatalCon, the tech gurus were conspicuous,

00:53:09.680 sporting t-shirts with their company logos and the occasional Patagonia to guard against the

00:53:14.420 aggressive air. So too were the religious conservatives who were usually dressed in

00:53:19.440 business casual, their pressed shirts neatly tucked in. The crowd was nearly all male and mostly white.

00:53:24.940 It was noticeable that at NatalCon, a conference that built itself as finding solutions for the

00:53:29.300 biggest global crisis, almost all the speakers were white Americans. At the same time, this year's 0.92

00:53:34.080 NatalCon featured a number of speakers known to espouse white supremacists or other objectionable views.

00:53:38.960 So, you know, you see there. Yes, how bizarre that a conference in America would feature American 0.97

00:53:45.280 speakers, white ones at that. This is all very disturbing, supposedly, we're told. But let me make,

00:53:53.380 let me make two points about this. And first of all, um, there is, there is a global population

00:54:01.640 crisis. That's a fact. Birth rates are declining across the world and have fallen below replacement

00:54:07.020 level. Uh, that is women are having on average fewer than two children in many countries in Europe,

00:54:12.320 like Italy and Germany, uh, countries in East Asia, like South Korea and Japan, of course,

00:54:16.960 here in the United States. In the U S the average number of children per woman is about 1.6, which is

00:54:23.640 considerably below replacement level, which means that we are not having enough babies to replace

00:54:29.040 the older people who are dying off. And this was not the case as recently as a few decades ago. In the 0.98

00:54:33.440 1960s, the fertility rate was about 3.5 children per woman. So the average American family has shrunk by

00:54:39.480 about two kids over the past 60 years. Meanwhile, the average age of first marriage for a woman in 0.68

00:54:46.060 the U S has gone from 20 years old in 1960 to 29 today. The average age when a woman has a child 0.93

00:54:51.560 has also gone up significantly. 1970 woman was on average about 21 when she had her first kid. Now

00:54:56.500 she's about 28 or 29. It cannot be overstated just how bizarre this situation is from a historical

00:55:03.360 perspective. No country in the history of the world through thousands of years of human existence

00:55:07.540 ever had a population where women on average waited until they were 30 almost to have kids.

00:55:16.200 And there's a reason for that. It doesn't work. It just doesn't work this way. It's not sustainable.

00:55:22.460 None of this is sustainable as our population gets older and growth continues to slow down. We will

00:55:28.020 become as a population, increasingly old, brittle, top heavy. Uh, the implications are vast and terrible.

00:55:37.540 Increasing strains on our healthcare systems, shrinking workforce, higher tax burden on the

00:55:41.340 young, uh, the social security program collapses, all of the, of the so-called social safety nets

00:55:47.920 collapse and so on and so on. There is nothing insidious about noticing this problem and trying

00:55:54.920 to fix it. There is something very insidious about telling us that we should not notice it

00:56:00.680 or try to fix it. And speaking of things that we're not supposed to notice, uh, with all that said,

00:56:09.160 birth rates are not declining everywhere in the world. There is one major region that has not fallen into

00:56:15.620 this trend and that is sub-Saharan Africa. Sub-Saharan Africa has an average fertility rate of five to six

00:56:21.280 children per women. Remember in America, it's 1.6, less than two. In Africa, sub-Saharan Africa,

00:56:28.320 it's five or six per women. Uh, right now the population of sub-Saharan Africa is about 1.2

00:56:33.980 billion. In another two or three decades, it will be doubled to about 2 billion. 50 years after that,

00:56:39.800 it will have doubled again. In 1950, sub-Saharan Africa accounted for about 7% of the world's population.

00:56:46.460 Today it's 14%. So it's doubled in terms of its, not just gross population, but also, uh, in terms

00:56:54.780 of its, its percentage of the overall population. And by the turn of the next century, it'll be about

00:57:00.080 25 or 30% or more. So the poorest and most dysfunctional part of the world is also experiencing

00:57:10.920 the fastest population growth by far. But the problem here is that sub-Saharan Africa 0.70

00:57:19.120 cannot sustain itself or take care of its own population. It can't take care of itself now

00:57:25.300 with 1 billion people. It relies on charity from the quote unquote developed world. It can't take

00:57:33.580 care of itself. It won't be able to take care of itself with 2 billion people if it can't do it with

00:57:37.900 1 billion. And what that means is that these populations will increasingly flee and they will 0.85

00:57:44.940 flood into more, uh, the, the developed Western world where we have food and housing and infrastructure

00:57:51.380 and welfare. And what that means, and this is already happening, of course, but it's only going

00:57:56.840 to get worse. And so what that means is that now young working Americans will not only be tasked with

00:58:02.240 caring for their own aging population, but also supporting the entire third world as it streams 0.99

00:58:07.660 into the country with no plan and no ability to actually contribute to it economically. And even

00:58:11.840 if they could contribute economically, the fact is that the more that America becomes a third world 0.85

00:58:15.940 country, the less that it is America. I mean, if you swap out the population of America for the

00:58:21.540 population of sub-Saharan Africa, America is not America anymore. Now it's just another region of 0.99

00:58:28.580 Africa. You'll have sub-Saharan Africa, Northern Africa, and North American Africa. The USA, once the 0.96

00:58:36.260 greatest country in the history of the world, will then cease to exist. Everything that made it great

00:58:42.700 and everyone who made it great will be gone. Now, am I a white supremacist for pointing this out?

00:58:51.420 As the economists would surely claim. Well, no, I think it just makes me rational. What I'm saying is like,

00:58:58.360 this is just what's happening and this is where it's leading. And it also makes me an American who

00:59:04.620 wants to preserve the existence of my nation and its people, the American people. And that also makes

00:59:12.500 me rational. But whatever label you want to put on it, because again, we don't concern ourselves with

00:59:19.440 the labels that disingenuous people use. Regardless, this is the situation. It is a major crisis. And it is, in many

00:59:29.380 ways, the major crisis of our time. We should be focused on it, no matter what The Economist has to say about it.

00:59:36.560 And that is why The Economist is today canceled. That'll do it for the show today. Thanks for

00:59:44.000 watching. Thanks for listening. Talk to you tomorrow. Have a great day. Godspeed.

00:59:46.800 Democrats cave to reopen the government. The Supreme Court may overturn gay marriage. And Pope Leo 0.63

00:59:58.000 takes on internet vices. Check it out on The Michael Knowles Show.
