Today on the Matt Wall Show, our elections in America are now being decided based on tribal
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
00:00:54.700
Anyway, also, Trump unveils a plan for 50-year mortgages to make housing more affordable.
00:00:59.800
I'll explain why this is the worst idea he's ever had.

00:02:46.520
There was one result from last week's election that, as you may remember, actually seemed
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
00:03:09.960
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.
00:03:54.400
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
00:09:44.720
and total dysfunction, just like they have in Somalia.
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
00:10:13.480
Axis powers, saved the West, and so on. But it was a temporary victory because instead of fighting us
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
00:11:31.660
And people don't realize what they have. They bitch about it. And then nowadays, I am so upset
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.
00:13:30.700
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.
00:14:22.540
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
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
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
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,
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,
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.
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
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
00:18:50.460
focuses energies on arresting people who say insulting things about, you know, transgenders on the internet.
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
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.
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.

00:22:29.420
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
00:23:28.460
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
00:24:02.940
You know, your bank will own your home. And if you, if you, if you buy a home at
00:24:14.780
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,
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
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.
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
00:32:18.780
and they're living in their living places. I mean, some of them are living out on the street,
00:32:29.180
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.
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
00:32:54.920
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.
00:33:07.800
Sorry. I know you want to come here from Somalia. I know you want to come here from,
00:33:12.360
from wherever you're coming. You want to come here from South Asia. You want to come here from
00:33:15.240
Sub-Saharan Africa. You want to come here from Central America. Sorry, we can't take you.
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
00:33:43.740
expelled them from the country in a week, I know it's not going to happen. A week is
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.
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
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
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
00:36:55.180
this starts. And they'll try to look like their wives. You know, sometimes you'll see these before
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
00:37:31.340
photo. So this is very common. And, um, you know, they model their fake womanhood after their wives.
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
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
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,
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
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.
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
00:41:43.600
every, you know, female HR rep you'll ever encounter. Every female corporate drone, almost
00:41:49.940
every female you'll find in media or politics. It's all right there. All right there. The smarmy
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
00:44:05.680
tone, giving you the opportunity. And then, um, so, you know, you note that that's one thing you
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,
00:45:33.520
they want the explanation, you don't give it to them. And when they call you racist, the
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

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