00:00:30.000 Canada can be a global leader in reducing the harm caused by smoking.

00:00:36.480 But it requires actionable steps.

00:00:38.760 Now is the time to modernize Canadian laws so that adult smokers have information and access to better alternatives.

00:00:46.260 By doing so, we can create lasting change.

00:00:49.440 If you don't smoke, don't start.

00:01:49.840 Today on the Matt Wall Show, the Somali takeover of Minneapolis is worse than we thought. 1.00

00:01:54.480 And now the Trump administration is taking steps to address the problem.

00:01:57.500 Also, the Democrat running to represent Nashville in Congress is on tape

00:02:01.420 talking about how much she hates Nashville, which seems like a problem.

00:02:04.700 That's not even close to the craziest thing that she said.

00:02:06.660 Plus, Elon Musk made a small change to X that has led to some major revelations

00:02:10.620 about who is influencing our political dialogue in America

00:02:55.940 People often pick up protein bars assuming they're making a quick and healthy decision.

00:02:59.820 But if you've ever taken the time to actually read the label,

00:03:02.580 you were probably surprised to see how much sugar is in these bars.

00:03:06.180 Finding a protein bar that tastes good and is made with quality ingredients

00:03:08.980 might feel like a more daunting task than actually working out.

00:03:11.820 So let me save you the time and the energy by telling you about Equip Foods Prime Bar.

00:03:16.660 Prime Bar is the first ever grass-fed beef protein bar.

00:03:19.520 Prime Bar is made with only 11 clean ingredients, including collagen, beef tallow, and colostrum.

00:03:23.640 It's naturally sweetened with dates and honey and gives you 20 grams of protein without any guilt.

00:03:27.820 I've tried a lot of protein bars in the market and none of them taste good.

00:03:32.000 In fact, none of them even taste like real food.

00:03:33.440 They taste artificial, kind of strange.

00:03:35.260 But Prime Bar actually tastes like real food because it is real food and it's good.

00:03:40.540 If you want to try the cleanest protein bar in the market that already sold out once,

00:03:43.360 go to EquipFoods.com slash Matt Walsh and use code Matt Walsh at checkout to get 25% off one-time purchases

00:03:57.540 When it comes to immigration enforcement by the Trump administration, especially for people

00:04:02.320 living in the Midwest, there's been one decision that has stood out.

00:04:06.680 And it's clearly been a deliberate decision for whatever reason.

00:04:09.220 For the most part, the government has left illegal alien Muslim populations alone in places

00:04:14.520 like Dearborn, Michigan and Minneapolis.

00:04:17.160 Now, admittedly, there's not much hard data on this, but intuitively, you can tell.

00:04:23.000 You can go online and find hundreds of videos of ICE raids in Los Angeles or Texas, but very

00:04:29.040 conspicuously, you won't find really any of that coming from Little Mogadishu, which

00:04:34.060 by some conservative estimates is home to tens of thousands of illegal aliens.

00:04:38.900 There's another way to tell that immigration enforcement has been soft in these areas.

00:04:42.720 They have not been rioting.

00:04:44.360 They haven't been surrounding ICE agents chanting Allah Akbar, like they're reenacting Black Hawk

00:04:49.140 down.

00:04:49.320 Instead, Muslims in these communities have mostly been targeting, as we saw last week, 0.76

00:04:54.620 white conservative activists and journalists who dare to venture into the no-go zone that

00:04:59.560 they've established.

00:05:01.240 They're not afraid of immigration enforcement.

00:05:04.440 They're emboldened like conquerors, because that's what they've done.

00:05:09.320 They've conquered.

00:05:10.540 Whatever the administration's strategy has been here, it does appear to be changing, at least

00:05:14.100 to an extent.

00:05:14.640 Now, last week, as you may remember, I called for hate crime charges to be brought against

00:05:19.820 a man who punched a white conservative activist in Dearborn.

00:05:22.840 And within hours, Harmeet Dillon, who runs the DOJ Civil Rights Division, responded to that

00:05:27.840 saying that she would begin an investigation.

00:05:30.140 And then shortly after that, the president announced a major change, one that we've been

00:05:34.380 calling for again and again for several months.

00:05:36.900 He ended the temporary protected status for Somalis in the United States.

00:05:43.600 Now, as you have heard me talk about, this is a designation that's been in place for more

00:05:49.540 than three decades.

00:05:51.060 And it shields Somalis, in many cases, from being deported back to Somalia on the theory

00:05:55.980 that the country is so dysfunctional that it would be inhumane to send them back.

00:06:00.760 Now, to be clear, in most other cases, temporary protected status is awarded after some natural

00:06:07.040 disaster, like an earthquake or a mudslide.

00:06:10.420 And the idea is that, well, we're not going to send people back to an unstable environment

00:06:14.300 like that, where everything's on fire or is flooded.

00:06:18.700 But in Somalia's case, there was no devastating earthquake or mudslide or anything like that.

00:06:24.420 No, it's just that there's a lot of Somalis attempting to govern themselves.

00:06:30.600 And that's such a disaster that for more than 30 years, it's been the official policy of

00:06:35.160 the U.S. government that we should not send Somalis back to their own country.

00:06:40.060 Somali governance is equivalent to a magnitude 20 earthquake. 1.00

00:06:44.820 And it's just as catastrophic.

00:06:46.500 Essentially, what we've said is that we can't send Somalians back to Somalia because there 1.00

00:06:51.620 are so many Somalians there.

00:06:52.960 It would be cruel to force Somalians to live with Somalians. 1.00

00:06:56.480 So instead, we'll just force Americans to live with them. 0.99

00:07:00.040 Now, of course, the appropriate response in this scenario is to keep Somalis as far away 1.00

00:07:04.200 from the U.S. as possible.

00:07:05.760 We don't want them establishing an enclave in this country because, inevitably, it'll be 1.00

00:07:10.340 just as dysfunctional as the country they fled.

00:07:13.540 But for many years now, it's been the policy of the U.S. to pretend otherwise and to give

00:07:17.760 Somalis yet another host country to destroy. 1.00

00:07:20.900 The fact that the Trump administration is changing this policy after so many years is

00:07:25.020 a clear signal that they're thinking about going into Muslim communities, particularly

00:07:29.640 Somali communities, and enforcing immigration law, as well as civil rights law, which we should

00:07:36.000 have been all along.

00:07:37.000 This is a crackdown that's long overdue.

00:07:41.240 And it's more urgent than ever because, at this point, law enforcement in these communities,

00:07:46.820 law enforcement is now working on behalf of the foreign criminals in cities like Minneapolis.

00:07:53.440 The leaders of major police departments are now far more worried about offending their Muslim

00:07:58.400 overlords than actually enforcing law.

00:08:00.820 We've already talked about how in Dearborn, conservatives can be physically attacked by Muslims 1.00

00:08:05.720 right in front of police, and the police will do nothing.

00:08:09.800 But the situation is even worse in Minneapolis, where the chief of police, Brian O'Hara, just

00:08:15.620 apologized to the Somali community for pointing out that they're committing a lot of crimes. 1.00

00:08:21.220 So this may be the first documented case of a police chief begging for forgiveness, simply

00:08:29.020 for observing the fact that crime is taking place in his city.

00:08:33.600 So here's what Chief Brian O'Hara said in an interview with a local radio station.

00:08:38.300 This was the observation that outraged the Somali community, as reported by Alpha News.

00:08:44.200 Quote, Chief O'Hara said in the interview, groups of kids, groups of East African kids that

00:08:48.980 are coming from surrounding communities, and not just one community, kind of all over

00:08:52.860 the place, are coming to the area armed and ready for a fight.

00:08:56.300 They aren't the poor kids from Minneapolis that are our residents.

00:08:59.400 These are kids coming down in mommy's Mercedes Benz to Dinkytown.

00:09:04.260 Now, what he's saying is obviously true.

00:09:06.900 Nobody disputes its accuracy. 0.98

00:09:10.120 Somalis from East Africa are invading communities in Minneapolis and committing serious crimes. 1.00

00:09:15.400 That's happening. 0.88

00:09:16.280 But Somalis in Minneapolis decided that this statement simply could not stand.

00:09:21.500 That's because large Somali communities in the U.S. are effectively criminal enterprises 1.00

00:09:26.640 like the mafia.

00:09:28.660 There's widespread awareness in these communities about the fraud and robberies they commit,

00:09:33.140 as we'll discuss in detail in a second.

00:09:34.920 And they understand that in order to minimize any undesired attention, they need to band together

00:09:39.800 and shut down any suggestion from anywhere that they're engaging in criminal activity.

00:09:44.700 There's a code of silence that they obey themselves, and they enforce on everybody else.

00:09:50.920 After all, the easiest way to conceal a criminal enterprise is to make sure that no one's allowed

00:09:54.200 to talk about it.

00:09:55.800 It's been known for a long time that Somalis operate like this, and it's also been widely

00:10:00.040 understood that politicians in Minneapolis are going along with it.

00:10:03.400 I mean, the mayor, as we all know, is not ashamed to pander to Somalis and BLM and so on. 0.98

00:10:09.620 He certainly never critiqued Somalis, nor would he ever dream of doing so.

00:10:14.500 That said, even with this background in mind, the police chief just took things to another level.

00:10:20.020 He didn't simply pander to Somalis or turn a blind eye to their crimes. 0.99

00:10:25.980 He actually went on camera and apologized for making a factually accurate statement about

00:10:32.840 criminal activity in Minneapolis.

00:10:35.440 Accompanied by a translator, the police chief apologized for doing his job, for informing the

00:10:41.340 public about criminal activity, and for enforcing the law against Somalis, God forbid. 0.96

00:10:46.320 If any video justifies a federal takeover of law enforcement in Minneapolis,

00:10:52.480 well, I would say that it's this one.

00:10:54.360 Watch.

00:11:02.580 The Somali community here in Minneapolis has been welcoming and has shown love towards me,

00:11:11.780 and I appreciate it.

00:11:12.920 Over the last three years, we have been working together to try and address some of the real,

00:11:19.240 serious problems that we have in our community.

00:11:21.600 We have to be honest at times with the problems that we're having in our community, and we need

00:11:25.880 our community to help us fix those problems together because it's real and it's serious.

00:11:31.160 At the same time, if people have taken anything that I have said out of context in a way that's

00:11:37.680 caused harm, I apologize, and I'm sorry for that because that's not my intention at all.

00:11:44.260 I'm so sorry.

00:11:45.700 I'm so sorry that I noticed that your community is committing a lot of crimes.

00:11:51.640 I'm so sorry that I noticed that you guys are coming here and committing a lot of crimes

00:11:55.500 and destroying our communities.

00:11:57.140 You know, the real victim, obviously, is you because you had to listen to me noticing the

00:12:04.000 fact that you're doing this thing.

00:12:05.720 I'm so sorry.

00:12:06.540 I apologize profusely.

00:12:09.620 Now, he says we have to be honest about what's happening, and then in the same breath, he

00:12:13.000 apologizes for being honest about what's happening.

00:12:15.120 It looks like a hostage video because, you know, it's exactly what it is.

00:12:21.520 After seeing this, is there anyone who seriously believes that any law enforcement official in

00:12:26.480 Minnesota from the Attorney General on down has any interest in arresting and prosecuting

00:12:31.300 Somalis when they commit crimes? 1.00

00:12:33.700 I mean, the guy looks absolutely petrified.

00:12:36.580 And all he did was make a factually accurate statement.

00:12:40.140 He didn't even arrest anyone. 0.99

00:12:43.220 Think about how pathetic it is. 0.98

00:12:45.120 You've got people coming here from a third world country. 1.00

00:12:47.460 These are people who cannot, they cannot govern themselves.

00:12:51.080 They cannot establish their own functional communities.

00:12:56.300 Okay.

00:12:56.920 And they come here.

00:12:58.960 They have no power.

00:13:01.420 They have no influence.

00:13:04.360 There's no reason for us to do anything for them, to give them anything, or even to let

00:13:09.100 them here in the first place.

00:13:11.460 And yet they're allowed in.

00:13:12.780 And all the people who are supposed to be in charge just fall to their knees, prostrate

00:13:17.680 themselves in deference to these third worlders. 0.97

00:13:24.280 But if somehow you think law and order still exists in Minneapolis, you know, maybe this

00:13:29.120 will be a wake-up call.

00:13:32.200 In fact, here's another one.

00:13:33.180 This is a sheriff in Minnesota.

00:13:36.860 This, again, is almost hard to believe, but it's real.

00:13:42.180 Watch.

00:14:03.180 Now, if you're listening to the audio podcast and you don't speak Somali, I could tell you 1.00

00:14:31.920 that according to the translation, the Minnesota sheriff refers to white police officers as

00:14:36.660 foreigners.

00:14:38.120 He says he's working for Somalis and understand Somalis better than those foreign officers

00:14:44.920 ever could.

00:14:46.360 And, you know, of course, I have to offer my usual disclaimer here, which is that I have

00:14:49.260 no idea how accurate the translation is.

00:14:51.340 I don't speak Somali.

00:14:52.240 But that's not my problem, because every single public official in the state should be speaking

00:14:57.400 English.

00:14:58.420 And if you decide to speak a foreign language, then we're going to take our best guess as

00:15:01.920 to what it is that you're saying.

00:15:03.500 And any confusion or mistranslation is totally your fault, 100%.

00:15:07.440 But I do think that's what he actually said.

00:15:10.420 Now, what's important to understand about clips like this is that as unacceptable as they

00:15:15.020 obviously are, the actual problem is much, much worse.

00:15:18.100 What these clips signify is that the Somali takeover of Minnesota is now so pervasive that 1.00

00:15:24.700 they're not even pretending to hide it anymore.

00:15:27.200 If sheriffs and the chief of police are willing to pledge their allegiance to Somalia on camera,

00:15:31.600 then there's no chance whatsoever that Somalis are actually being prosecuted for committing 0.86

00:15:35.560 serious crimes.

00:15:37.740 You know, maybe the DOJ will catch some fraudsters here and there, but the vast majority of these

00:15:41.320 crimes are going completely unpunished.

00:15:43.600 And everybody knows it.

00:15:44.620 But just in case there was any doubt, a few days ago, Ryan Thorpe and Chris Ruffo published

00:15:49.660 an article in City Journal highlighting the extent of the rampant fraud in Minneapolis.

00:15:55.400 And it's so over the top and brazen that, again, it sounds almost fake, but it's not.

00:16:02.440 Once again, this is real.

00:16:03.420 Quote,

00:16:04.960 Autism claims to Medicaid in Minnesota have skyrocketed in recent years from 3 million in 2018 to 54

00:16:12.880 million in 2019, 77 million in 2020, 183 million in 2021, 279 million in 2022, and 399 million in

00:16:24.040 2023.

00:16:24.580 Meanwhile, the number of autism providers in the state spiked from 41 to 328 over the

00:16:29.600 same period, with many in the Somali community establishing their own autism treatment centers,

00:16:34.280 citing the need for culturally appropriate programming.

00:16:37.300 By the time the fraud scheme was exposed, one in 16 Somali four-year-olds in the state had

00:16:42.360 reportedly been diagnosed with autism, a rate more than triple the state average.

00:16:46.180 Yes, claims for autism treatment in Minnesota, treatment that was mostly administered by Somalis

00:16:52.420 and which was then reimbursed by federal taxpayers, spiked from $3 million to $399 million in the

00:17:01.140 span of just five years.

00:17:02.700 And this is just one of their scams.

00:17:06.160 I mean, they're scamming everything they can get their hands on, from COVID food programs

00:17:11.720 to SNAP, to the Paycheck Protection Program.

00:17:15.160 And we all know that even when the DOJ catches a handful of Somalis who are involved, there's 0.99

00:17:20.720 no way to actually recover the money.

00:17:22.900 The few Somalis who are eventually sentenced to prison, in all likelihood, won't be there 0.99

00:17:26.600 for very long.

00:17:28.280 By the way, there's also a very good comprehensive analysis of Somali fraud in Minnesota, written

00:17:32.600 by Armin Rosen in the publication County Highway.

00:17:35.180 It's one of the better explanations of how Minnesota officials are concealing all this fraud,

00:17:38.740 which you should also look into.

00:17:39.780 None of this is surprising, though, because, once again, this is why we say, import the

00:17:46.920 third world, become the third world. 0.97

00:17:48.920 Because the thing that nobody wants to say is that the reason why third world countries

00:17:53.060 are the way they are is because third world people are the way they are. 1.00

00:17:58.580 At the end of the day, your country is a reflection of its people.

00:18:02.960 Every country is, when it comes down to it. 0.97

00:18:05.380 Somali is totally dysfunctional and corrupt because scam and frauds, piracy, this is part 1.00

00:18:19.320 of the lifestyle, part of the culture. 0.99

00:18:22.680 Bring it over here, you get the same stuff.

00:18:26.520 The City Journal article highlights another important dimension of the story, which needs

00:18:30.060 to be addressed, which is that Somalis in Minnesota are sending a lot of this stolen money back

00:18:34.220 home.

00:18:35.140 They're taking the money that you pay to the IRS, or that the IRS takes from you, anyway,

00:18:40.260 and they're shipping it to Somali.

00:18:41.880 And in some cases, they're literally putting the cash in suitcases and flying it overseas.

00:18:47.880 Now, these are called remittances.

00:18:49.200 And as we discussed last week, millions of dollars in remittances are apparently going

00:18:52.820 to al-Shabaab, which is a terrorist group linked to al-Qaeda.

00:18:56.360 Quote, the Somali fraud rings have sent huge sums of remittances or money transfers from 0.65

00:19:00.540 Minnesota to Somalia.

00:19:01.620 According to reports, an estimated 40% of households in Somalia get remittances from abroad in 2023

00:19:06.100 alone.

00:19:07.220 The Somali diaspora sent back $1.7 billion, more than the Somali government's budget for

00:19:13.900 that year.

00:19:15.260 Significant funds were being sent from America to al-Shabaab networks in Somalia.

00:19:18.560 Whether the money was intended for al-Shabaab or not, they were taking a cut.

00:19:23.300 Now, one obvious step to address this problem, which the Trump administration should take

00:19:28.660 immediately, is to raise the tax on remittances to 10,000%.

00:19:33.820 Certainly, at least for remittances going to Somalia, which really should just be across 0.99

00:19:41.320 the board.

00:19:41.640 You know, if you want to come here and send money out of this country to another country

00:19:48.720 to help their economy, well, you should have to pay a hefty, hefty, hefty price for that.

00:19:56.440 Now, currently, the tax is something like 1%.

00:19:59.380 It's absurdly low.

00:20:03.060 And especially since we're clearly being robbed to the tune of billions of dollars, that needs to

00:20:07.420 change.

00:20:07.700 We need an emergency tax on remittances immediately.

00:20:11.380 We also need to ramp up deportations and denaturalization proceedings.

00:20:15.120 And that's going to trigger a legal battle, but it's the one we need to fight.

00:20:19.820 But the Attorney General of Minnesota, Keith Ellison, is already vowing to take the Trump

00:20:23.740 administration to court in order to keep as many Somalis in this country as possible. 1.00

00:20:28.340 Quote, Trump's announcement of the termination of Somali TPS holders in Minnesota is legally

00:20:33.720 problematic.

00:20:35.100 While the president does have a lot of authority to designate and revoke TPS, he cannot legally

00:20:38.860 wield that power to discriminate against an ethnic group or target a state like Minnesota.

00:20:44.360 This ain't over, says Keith Ellison.

00:20:47.660 Yes, it's legally problematic to end an extraordinary carve-out which we've awarded to Somalis for 0.99

00:20:54.940 no reason at all, for more than 30 years.

00:20:59.560 This is what always happens when you give any concessions or favors to anyone, including

00:21:03.200 foreign nations, especially foreign nations.

00:21:06.800 Instantaneously, it becomes an entitlement.

00:21:09.480 Like they had no right to it to begin with, but you gave it to them.

00:21:12.560 And now that they have it, they have a right to it.

00:21:14.680 That's kind of the, that's the idea.

00:21:16.340 They'll sue you if you try to end it.

00:21:20.480 You know, their lawyers will claim that you violated the Constitution.

00:21:24.800 Right?

00:21:25.240 You know, that thing in the Constitution that guarantees Somalians the right to come here 1.00

00:21:31.480 and not be deported?

00:21:34.880 Yeah, it violates that clause in the Constitution.

00:21:37.240 But if you ask Somalis themselves, ironically enough, they'll drop the pretense. 1.00

00:21:40.880 At this point, Somalis are basically daring us to deport them. 1.00

00:21:43.760 And this was Ilhan Omar's response after Trump terminated Somalia's temporary protected status.

00:21:50.100 Quote,

00:21:50.760 I'm a citizen, and so are the majority of Somalis in America.

00:21:53.960 Good luck celebrating a policy change that really doesn't have much impact on the Somalis

00:21:57.760 you love to hate.

00:21:59.100 We are here to say.

00:22:00.960 Here to stay, rather.

00:22:02.860 Now, notice she doesn't even refer to her own people as Americans.

00:22:05.860 She admits that they're Somalis in America.

00:22:09.940 Kind of tells you everything you need to know.

00:22:12.020 They're foreign invaders in our country. 1.00

00:22:14.400 They've taken over local law enforcement.

00:22:16.320 They've taken over the state attorney general's office.

00:22:18.900 They're attacking conservatives in the street.

00:22:20.820 And now, the moment the Trump administration suggests that laws might actually be enforced

00:22:27.380 in Little Mogadishu, what they're saying is, come get us, basically.

00:22:32.840 They're daring us.

00:22:35.420 Well, for once, I think we should give Ilhan Omar and her Somali countrymen 1.00

00:22:40.320 exactly what they're asking for.

00:22:43.720 Now let's get to our five headlines.

00:22:44.980 Grand Canyon University is an affordable private Christian university based in beautiful

00:22:54.860 Phoenix, Arizona, and it's one of the largest universities in the country.

00:22:58.420 GCU is widely praised for its culture of community and impact.

00:23:36.880 There are a lot of perks to owning a home versus renting from a landlord, but one of the things

00:23:41.520 that most people dread about buying and owning a home are the expensive repairs that are bound

00:23:45.600 to happen.

00:23:46.060 Regular homeowners insurance doesn't cover everyday repairs like plumbing failures and electrical

00:23:50.240 issues, leaving you on your own to cover the repairs.

00:23:53.220 But now there is another option called HomeServe.

00:23:55.780 For as little as $4.99 a month, you've got backup when things break.

00:23:59.820 Instead of frantically searching for a contractor in a panic, you could already be on the phone

00:24:04.040 with HomeServe's 24-7 hotline, getting someone scheduled to help out.

00:24:07.500 HomeServe has a lot of different plans to choose from that cover different things.

00:24:11.700 Just pick a plan that fits your budget.

00:24:13.460 When something goes wrong, all you have to do is call HomeServe and they will handle it.

00:24:32.420 Most plans range from $4.99 to $1,199 a month.

00:24:35.200 Your first year.

00:24:35.900 Terms apply on covered repairs.

00:24:38.120 Okay, Afton Bain is the name of a human, apparently.

00:24:43.380 Actually, it's a woman who's running as the Democrat nominee in Tennessee's 7th Congressional

00:24:48.980 District special election, which is, that's Nashville.

00:24:52.640 Okay, Nashville is the 7th district.

00:24:55.020 Nobody ever heard of this person until a few days ago when she started going viral for all

00:24:59.360 the wrong reasons in the lead up to the election.

00:25:02.000 And before we get to the viral stuff, here's a report from the Daily Wire, which just gives

00:25:05.800 you an idea of what kind of person this is.

00:25:09.540 Afton Bain, the Democratic nominee running in Tennessee's 7th Congressional District special

00:25:13.940 election, repeatedly said in recent years that she would be willing to get arrested for abortion 0.87

00:25:18.400 advocacy.

00:25:19.060 Bain, a state representative seeking to replace Representative Mark Green, who resigned from

00:25:23.080 office earlier this year, is running against Republican Matt Van Epps, who's been endorsed

00:25:27.280 by President Donald Trump.

00:25:29.780 She said in a May 22nd conversation with the Tennessee holler, what is the positive if there's

00:25:35.440 a silver lining?

00:25:36.760 What this does not mean for Tennessee is that groups on the ground will continue to provide

00:25:40.520 training in terms of self-managed abortions.

00:25:43.320 And so instead of going to a doctor, because we won't have any doctors that provide abortions, 0.72

00:25:47.840 how do you do it at home?

00:25:48.700 We'll continue to figure out how to get abortion pills to people so the organizing does not stop 0.66

00:25:53.260 just because Roe is overturned.

00:25:55.060 I think most importantly, we'll see the increased criminalization of people seeking abortions

00:25:58.380 and those assisting them.

00:25:59.760 So I anticipate lots of bail funds for women seeking abortions, getting caught getting abortions,

00:26:04.180 women like myself that plan to travel with women getting arrested, and we'll also see increased

00:26:08.480 surveillance, policing, and fear.

00:26:09.620 So she's a pro-abortion extremist, willing to get herself arrested for the sake of helping 1.00

00:26:15.200 women kill their children. 1.00

00:26:17.100 But really, it has nothing to do with other women. 0.99

00:26:19.060 You know, this is not some kind of perverse generosity on her part.

00:26:25.820 This is, you know, the only reason she feels so strongly about the issue is that she wants 0.99

00:26:31.960 to protect her own right to kill her own children, which I assume she's probably already done. 0.99

00:26:38.440 You know, a woman like this almost certainly has multiple abortions under her belt. 1.00

00:26:42.840 I don't know that for a fact, just my own theory.

00:26:44.940 I'm just theorizing. 0.97

00:26:45.720 So she's a vile creature who loves baby murder. 1.00

00:26:50.100 We know that. 0.98

00:26:51.440 She's also, of course, a big fan of BLM and violent crime and lawlessness. 0.63

00:26:57.680 So if you live in Nashville and you're deciding who to vote for, I mean, if you like crime,

00:27:03.580 if crime is your thing, if you're really into crime and you like for your community to be

00:27:07.420 less safe and you want to be more worried about, you know, your kids and their safety, then

00:27:14.800 she's the person for you because she's a big fan of crime and doesn't like enforcing the law. 1.00

00:27:21.520 But here she is on MSNBC over the weekend.

00:27:24.280 MSNBC, of all places, calls her out on this.

00:27:29.480 So I don't know what's going on over there, but listen to this.

00:27:32.000 Representative, in 2020, you made some tweets that have since been deleted that were very

00:27:39.460 critical of police.

00:27:41.080 You said in those since-deleted tweets that the Metropolitan Nashville Police Department

00:27:46.380 should be dissolved.

00:27:47.380 Another cheered on a teacher's union saying that defund the police should be a requirement

00:27:51.980 for schools reopening.

00:27:53.220 And another saying good morning, especially to the 54 percent of Americans that believe

00:27:58.340 burning down a police station is justified. 0.97

00:28:01.740 2020 was obviously a very fraught year.

00:28:04.440 Do you still stand by those comments?

00:28:07.100 And if not, is there anything you want to clarify?

00:28:11.400 I'm not going to engage in cable news talking points, but what I will say is that, you know,

00:28:17.160 our communities need solutions.

00:28:18.940 We need local people deciding, solving local problems with local solutions.

00:28:25.580 And that's not the overreach of a federal government or state government of is of which

00:28:30.340 we are dealing with and in Nashville and our cities across the state of Tennessee.

00:28:34.940 So you don't want to clarify whether you still believe that the police should be defunded?

00:28:41.900 Once again, I don't remember these tweets, but I'm what I'm saying is, is that I'm not asking

00:28:48.060 you, if you remember, what is your position today?

00:28:49.860 How's that on this issue?

00:28:52.760 I mean, once again, I'm here to talk about my race, which is in literally nine days.

00:29:00.900 Lord, this woman cannot win. 1.00

00:29:04.060 She better not win. 0.98

00:29:04.900 And not even because she's a radical leftist mutant who wants to burn down police stations 1.00

00:29:09.400 and kill babies and then lies about it when she's called out. 1.00

00:29:13.080 I mean, that's the main reason she should not win. 0.99

00:29:17.300 But also, she's just not even a good liar. 0.71

00:29:20.000 That's the part that offends me the most. 0.95

00:29:22.620 Like, it's one thing to be a soulless con artist, which this woman is. 1.00

00:29:26.740 It's another to be so clumsy and unconvincing about it. 0.98

00:29:32.480 Just kind of insults your intelligence.

00:29:34.140 And despite her extremely lazy, kind of low-energy effort to deflect, she says, well, I'm not

00:29:42.620 going to get into cable news talking points.

00:29:44.440 Well, it's not a cable news talking point.

00:29:45.920 It's what you said.

00:29:46.800 These are your talking points.

00:29:50.280 But yes, it's true that she has publicly called for the defunding of police.

00:29:54.320 She has endorsed burning down police stations.

00:29:58.180 Which, by the way, is a stance that should legally bar her from running for office anyway.

00:30:04.140 Okay, call me crazy, but you should not be allowed to run for office if you have publicly

00:30:10.120 endorsed mob violence against law enforcement officers.

00:30:15.640 Call me crazy, but that's just me.

00:30:19.060 I think there are some things you could say that should disqualify you from being allowed

00:30:22.760 to run for office.

00:30:23.820 And, you know, we could debate what those things would be.

00:30:26.520 But this is calling for police stations to be burned down by angry mobs is the kind of

00:30:34.440 thing where, yeah, that you should not be allowed to run for office.

00:30:41.180 Now, of course, on the flip side, you could say, well, if a community is going to elect

00:30:47.680 somebody like that after they've said that, then you kind of get what's coming to you at

00:30:51.260 that point, which is also true.

00:30:54.400 Now, the other thing about Afton is that, and this is not really a surprise based on what

00:30:59.000 we've already seen about her, but she really hates the place that she is running to represent. 1.00

00:31:06.480 She's on the record on multiple occasions, actually, talking about how much she hates

00:31:10.420 Tennessee and Nashville in particular.

00:31:13.200 So this video went viral a few days ago.

00:31:15.300 It's actually an audio recording.

00:31:16.800 And here it is.

00:31:19.860 Listen.

00:31:21.320 I've been heavily involved with the Nashville mayoral race because I hate the city. 0.88

00:31:27.960 I hate the bachelorettes. 1.00

00:31:29.000 I hate the pedal taverns. 0.89

00:31:30.220 I hate country music.

00:31:31.020 I hate all of the things that make Nashville, apparently, and its city to the rest of the

00:31:35.860 country. 0.97

00:31:36.480 But I hate it.

00:31:37.540 Yeah.

00:31:37.760 I'm that girl at the airport that all these bachelorettes are giddy walking out in their 1.00

00:31:41.280 two-toned colored pantone pink shirts.

00:31:44.360 And they walk out, and I'm like, they're like, oh my god, Nashville is so loud.

00:31:47.900 That's so loud.

00:31:52.620 Now, I admit, I will admit that she's not totally wrong about, I mean, I agree with her about

00:32:01.220 the pedal taverns and about the bachelorettes.

00:32:04.940 And if you're not familiar with pedal taverns, by the way, if you're blessed to live in an

00:32:08.320 area where these things don't exist, I'll tell you what they are.

00:32:12.300 Well, they're exactly what they sound like.

00:32:14.360 But pedal taverns are these giant multi-seat bicycles, basically, where tourists can sit

00:32:20.580 and drink overpriced beer while they pedal around the city.

00:32:24.900 So if you drive through Nashville, you're going to find yourself, if you have to go through

00:32:30.520 Nashville as part of your commute, it's going to take longer than it should because you'll

00:32:36.080 be stuck behind a group of 10 drunk people on a giant bicycle pedaling on the street.

00:32:41.740 Now, why do these things exist?

00:32:46.100 Why would anyone do this?

00:32:47.740 I have no idea.

00:32:49.280 I have no clue.

00:32:51.120 I have never found myself drinking a beer and thought to myself, you know what?

00:32:54.840 This would be so much better if I was outside, in traffic, breathing exhaust fumes, and exercising.

00:33:05.900 I don't know why you would want to combine those four things in particular with a leisure

00:33:11.080 activity.

00:33:11.740 I have no idea.

00:33:13.700 But a lot of people do.

00:33:14.880 And so if you drive through Nashville in the summer, especially, then like 68% of the traffic

00:33:21.760 is comprised of pedal taverns.

00:33:25.700 And that's a real number I just made up.

00:33:28.100 But that's what it feels like anyway.

00:33:29.180 It feels like 68% to 70% of the traffic is nothing but pedal taverns.

00:33:34.840 So people commute.

00:33:37.320 People commute with pedal taverns now.

00:33:39.380 You got like businessmen in suits taking a pedal tavern to the office.

00:33:42.840 That's how bad it's gotten.

00:33:44.580 But that does not vindicate Afton, okay?

00:33:46.700 Because if, you know, if that's how...

00:33:48.640 Now, if she had said, hey, Nashville is not as enjoyable of a place as it should be because 0.85

00:33:54.320 of all these damn pedal taverns all over the street, I want to run and I want to pass 1.00

00:33:58.580 legislation to ban them, what? 0.99

00:34:01.440 I'd take...

00:34:02.340 I'd have no issue with that.

00:34:04.040 Still couldn't vote for her because of all the baby murder, but, you know, at least that

00:34:08.280 part of her platform I would agree with.

00:34:11.280 But she's not doing that. 0.99

00:34:13.840 Because she's a compulsive liar and she's a bad one, as we've seen. 1.00

00:34:17.600 So here's how she tried to address this controversy. 0.99

00:34:21.260 Again, from her own words, this is what she said.

00:34:24.360 And here she is addressing it.

00:34:26.800 Listen.

00:34:28.580 Hey, Representative Afton Bain here, the Democratic nominee for the 7th Congressional Special

00:34:32.120 Election in Tennessee.

00:34:33.680 For those of you just joining in, I often record segments in my Jeep Wrangler called Wranglin'

00:34:38.620 Time.

00:34:39.440 Yes, there is a theme song.

00:34:40.720 And no, I will not be singing it today.

00:34:42.260 But yes, I will bring it back because I know a lot of you miss it.

00:34:45.260 And you've said I sing well.

00:34:50.280 So I look a little rough.

00:34:51.900 I have bags under my eyes because the Republican eye of Sauron has finally shifted towards moi.

00:34:59.740 And I'm sure you've seen the commercials.

00:35:02.320 I'm sure you've seen the onslaught of ads.

00:35:04.480 And then today, the Republicans decided that they're going to start this narrative that

00:35:10.100 me, the state representative who represents downtown Nashville, doesn't like the city.

00:35:17.840 Now, I always want Nashville to be better, right?

00:35:19.880 I want Nashville to be a place where working people can thrive, right?

00:35:23.080 But sure, I get mad at the Bachelorette sometimes.

00:35:26.020 I get mad at the pedal taverns, right? 1.00

00:35:27.580 And you're talking to someone who has cried no less than 10 times in the Country Music Hall

00:35:32.580 of Fame, the girl that just goes to the Ryman to hang out.

00:35:36.480 No, no, we're not.

00:35:37.880 We're not even going to go there.

00:35:39.120 We are so close to winning this race, which is why these rumors are getting more wild.

00:35:45.280 Wait a second.

00:35:46.240 Rumors?

00:35:47.300 But you said it.

00:35:48.800 We just heard you say it.

00:35:51.240 So Afton says, on tape, I hate Nashville.

00:35:55.580 Her words, like verbatim.

00:35:58.140 And then she's called out and she says, what?

00:36:00.900 You think I hate Nashville? 0.99

00:36:03.220 Are you crazy? 0.99

00:36:05.660 I hate Nashville. 0.99

00:36:06.700 Wait, it sounds like you just said you hate Nashville.

00:36:08.220 What?

00:36:08.420 You think I hate Nashville?

00:36:09.680 Who told you that?

00:36:10.680 You did?

00:36:12.300 Just now?

00:36:13.180 You just said it?

00:36:13.780 We just heard you say it?

00:36:18.800 So, but again, if you line up and vote for someone like this, I mean, it's like the least

00:36:24.860 appealing person.

00:36:26.060 Nothing about her.

00:36:26.900 I mean, from the most, at the most shallow level, all the way to the stuff that really

00:36:32.400 matters.

00:36:32.680 Like, everything from her name to just her demeanor, her tone of voice.

00:36:39.500 None of that is appealing.

00:36:40.820 All of that is grating. 0.94

00:36:42.760 And then, of course, also, she's just a horrible person and her policies are horrific and she's 1.00

00:36:49.660 a liar and a scumbag. 1.00

00:36:51.100 So you line up and vote for somebody like that, then again, you get, you know, and you destroy 1.00

00:36:58.700 your community.

00:36:59.200 Well, you get what's coming to you at that point.

00:37:02.480 Now, a lot of people think that Congress doesn't do anything.

00:37:06.620 They're not focusing on fixing our problems.

00:37:08.500 Republicans in particular are very frustrated with our GOP-led Congress.

00:37:12.820 I've been frustrated with it.

00:37:13.980 We've talked about it on the show.

00:37:16.940 But if you want to accuse them of, you know, never accomplishing anything, well, I'll have

00:37:23.520 you know, they did accomplish one thing.

00:37:25.860 So here's what happened, I believe this was on Friday, over at Capitol Hill.

00:37:32.580 Watch.

00:37:33.720 Just showing this from the Hill right now.

00:37:35.960 This is a measure to condemn socialism.

00:37:39.780 The vote is still being tabulated.

00:37:42.380 But of note, the four leading Democrats in the House voted with Republicans to condemn

00:37:49.160 socialism.

00:37:50.600 Yet 96 Democrats voted no.

00:37:53.840 So those are the Democrats who voted with Republicans, Jeffries and Catherine Clark, Pete Aguilar

00:38:00.160 and Ted Lieu.

00:38:01.100 So that vote is in.

00:38:02.760 And the big meeting happens in a couple hours.

00:38:04.520 White House with the Democratic Socialists out of New York meeting with President Trump

00:38:09.220 today.

00:38:12.220 Oh, boy.

00:38:13.680 We got him now.

00:38:15.060 This is huge.

00:38:15.980 Republicans condemn socialism.

00:38:18.040 Wow.

00:38:18.380 That is brave.

00:38:20.720 That is bra. 0.99

00:38:21.340 That is edgy stuff.

00:38:22.180 Wow.

00:38:25.780 Wow.

00:38:26.820 They condemn socialism.

00:38:29.980 Incredible.

00:38:31.160 Did you guys hear that?

00:38:32.200 They condemn socialism.

00:38:35.220 That's going to fix some problems.

00:38:37.820 That's going to fix some big problems that we have.

00:38:40.900 So they wrote on a piece of paper, I condemn socialism.

00:38:43.860 And then they voted that they agreed with the thing they wrote on the paper.

00:38:48.900 I mean, this changes everything.

00:38:51.320 Everything has changed.

00:38:52.840 They wrote something down and said, we don't like this thing.

00:38:55.900 And then they all said, yeah, I agree with the thing we wrote.

00:39:00.960 So, wow.

00:39:03.480 Thank you so much.

00:39:04.460 I mean, someone needs to applaud that because I am.

00:39:08.400 Now, I thought, here's what I've been thinking this whole time.

00:39:10.680 The Republicans, we gave them control of the legislative branch.

00:39:13.040 They have not done anything with it.

00:39:14.720 They have not done anything.

00:39:16.940 That's what I thought.

00:39:17.740 But then they condemned socialism.

00:39:23.260 Oh, and it's really clever, too, did you see it?

00:39:24.900 Because, like, really, people that are defending this, some people say this is a waste of time.

00:39:31.040 Other people have defended it and said, well, you know, but the good thing is that we forced Democrats to vote on it, too.

00:39:38.620 And some of them refused to condemn socialism.

00:39:42.400 That's going to change everything.

00:39:44.420 Oh, we just revealed something we didn't already know about them, didn't we?

00:39:47.740 I don't know.

00:39:49.600 This is, I can't, I mean, this piece of paper that you guys wrote is the greatest, it's the greatest piece of paper in American history.

00:39:55.100 It's the greater, Declaration of Independence is nothing compared to this.

00:40:01.480 Frame it, put it in the Smithsonian.

00:40:05.120 Put a little plaque next to it.

00:40:07.760 Here's the piece of paper where Republicans condemn socialism.

00:40:12.080 The world changed forever on this day.

00:40:14.120 Because, like I said, I thought Republican legislators had completely failed to do anything with the power that we had given them.

00:40:23.900 I thought we handed them power over every branch of government, actually.

00:40:29.140 And I'm looking at it, and I'm like, well, you guys have not passed, like, any laws to solve any of the many problems that we have.

00:40:39.100 You haven't done anything at all.

00:40:40.880 What have you done?

00:40:42.940 But then they condemn socialism.

00:40:44.780 So, man.

00:40:48.000 Great.

00:40:48.400 Anyway.

00:40:53.200 No, actually, I'm being a little subtle about it.

00:40:56.660 I wield sarcasm in a very subtle way.

00:40:59.520 You can hardly notice it.

00:41:00.500 You hardly, it's very imperceptible.

00:41:02.180 But I will say that I'm actually not impressed at all.

00:41:06.760 And keep in mind that all of these same Republicans, or most of them, voted just a week before that to fully fund the SNAP program.

00:41:20.060 So, this is the Republican Party in a nutshell.

00:41:23.140 Right?

00:41:23.380 You vote to fund a massive, fraudulent, corrupt wealth redistribution scheme that actively harms millions of American taxpayers.

00:41:32.480 And then five seconds later, you vote to condemn socialism.

00:41:38.480 So, you're funding the socialism, which this is wealth redistribution, billions of dollars worth of it.

00:41:46.280 It's hurting Americans.

00:41:47.640 It's corrupt.

00:41:48.300 It's wrong.

00:41:48.860 It's evil.

00:41:49.300 It's immoral.

00:41:49.720 Everybody knows it.

00:41:51.520 Fraud is rampant through the whole system.

00:41:52.980 We've talked about this.

00:41:55.280 And Republicans voted for that.

00:41:57.660 Again.

00:41:59.400 Just like they always do.

00:42:00.540 And they turn around and say, yeah, but we condemn.

00:42:04.200 We condemn.

00:42:05.300 We condemn socialism.

00:42:07.540 You're actively working to promote and fund these socialist schemes, while also casting totally meaningless symbolic votes condemning socialism.

00:42:18.040 We don't care about the symbolic statements, guys. 0.98

00:42:24.360 We don't give a shit about your symbolic statements. 0.99

00:42:27.960 We have real problems in this country. 0.98

00:42:30.900 And your symbolic statements accomplish nothing.

00:42:34.620 We don't care about that.

00:42:37.460 You're there for a reason to actually do a job.

00:42:41.140 Do the, oh, but trying to, let's say, for example, defund SNAP.

00:42:44.800 I mean, there's a lot of other things that need to be done.

00:42:46.400 But just that alone, that's really hard.

00:42:49.660 I mean, that's a big fight.

00:42:50.880 How could you do that?

00:42:52.940 It's risky politically.

00:42:54.380 It's very risky.

00:42:56.780 Well, yeah, but that's what you're there to do.

00:42:59.400 Okay?

00:42:59.680 That's why we voted for you.

00:43:00.980 If you didn't want to do the hard things, then you should have said that when you ran for office, all of you.

00:43:08.100 When you run for office, just be honest and say, hey, look, elect me and I'll do some symbolic stuff.

00:43:13.460 And, you know, we'll do a few things that will play well on Fox News.

00:43:17.980 But we're not going to do anything difficult because, let's be honest, we don't want to put our own political careers in jeopardy.

00:43:22.920 Yes, please vote for me to do the easiest things the whole time.

00:43:28.720 Vote for me and I'll give you nothing but low-hanging fruit for my entire term. 0.97

00:43:33.780 At least say that.

00:43:34.780 At least be honest.

00:43:38.660 Is anyone impressed at this point?

00:43:43.060 Even on Fox, even the Fox News audience, are any of them impressed?

00:43:46.400 I'd be shocked if there's a single person in the audience right now that hears about Republicans condemning socialism and is at all impressed with it.

00:43:55.620 What do they expect?

00:43:56.620 Do they expect that all of us would hear that and just be blown away by the courage they've shown?

00:44:04.580 Maybe they did.

00:44:05.380 I don't know.

00:44:08.580 Let's see.

00:44:11.360 Let's step outside of politics for a moment.

00:44:13.680 Here's a story.

00:44:15.100 This is people.com.

00:44:16.760 Former Alabama Teacher of the Year, Randy Nicole Jackson Staples, has been arrested after a viral video purports to show her allegedly beating her son with a belt.

00:44:25.040 Staples, 44, resident of Grand Bay, Alabama, was arrested and charged with willful child abuse of a child under the age of 18 on November 16th.

00:44:32.400 The arrest came after a video went viral, which appears to show Staples beating her 12-year-old son with a belt.

00:44:37.220 She was released from jail.

00:44:38.780 And Jackson Staples, 24, her oldest son, told the outlet that he received the video from one of his siblings, and then he posted the alleged video online.

00:44:49.560 So this is a teacher of the year, quote-unquote, who's arrested for child abuse, which I think makes it a story in and of itself.

00:45:00.760 This is the quality of teacher we have now.

00:45:03.120 No surprise, really.

00:45:04.180 And, you know, I saw this video.

00:45:07.380 I didn't seek it out.

00:45:08.100 It just popped up in my feed.

00:45:09.320 And it's, as we just saw, it's a video taken, I guess, by another child given to the older son who then posted it.

00:45:17.600 And I'm not going to play the video here because it's, I probably can't even play it on YouTube, but it's, you know, and I'm not going to play it.

00:45:25.300 It's very upsetting, but that's what happens in the video.

00:45:27.720 She is beating a child with a belt, screaming in his face, beats him many times, like 10, 15, 20 times, and picks him up by the hair at one point in the video and is just, like, screaming at him, beats him, you know, and all that.

00:45:46.660 And the reason I'm bringing this up is the reaction to the video.

00:45:50.120 And from what I saw, you know, the majority of people certainly had the appropriate reaction, which is horror and outrage.

00:45:58.060 When you see a child being physically abused, you should be horrified and outraged.

00:46:02.720 And that's how the majority of people seem to be reacting to it.

00:46:07.200 But I did see a number of comments, and not a small number, I mean, a sizable number, defending the mother.

00:46:14.720 And again, just to reiterate, and you can go see the video yourself if you want online.

00:46:19.280 I don't think you need to.

00:46:21.340 But she's whipping him with a belt many times, grabbing him by the hair, okay, screaming. 0.95

00:46:28.180 Enraged.

00:46:30.040 And there were people defending it.

00:46:33.560 Saying, you know, hey, this is old school discipline.

00:46:37.200 You know, this is how it was done back in the day.

00:46:40.300 This is how I was raised, and I turned out fine.

00:46:43.680 Right?

00:46:44.100 That kind of thing.

00:46:44.860 There was, like, a lot of that kind of thing.

00:46:46.620 And that sparked sort of a debate about the appropriate ways to discipline a child.

00:46:50.760 And I think it's worth chiming in on that.

00:46:54.120 So let me just say this.

00:46:56.340 You know, I'm not against, and usually this kind of conversation, it always boils down to, well, spanking your child right or wrong.

00:47:04.160 It's like, that's not the conversation.

00:47:06.980 I'm not against corporal punishment in principle.

00:47:09.700 I think spanking can be an effective form of discipline in some circumstances. 1.00

00:47:14.880 But here's the point, which I would hope is obvious.

00:47:17.620 Whatever discipline you impose on a child, it should be done in a calm and measured way.

00:47:26.120 And, you know, everybody yells sometimes, no parent is perfect.

00:47:29.320 I've definitely been guilty of yelling.

00:47:32.060 You know, no doubt about that.

00:47:33.220 Every parent has.

00:47:33.840 But if you're taking your anger out on a child physically, that's abuse.

00:47:41.640 If you are, quote, unquote, disciplining your child by being wildly undisciplined yourself and venting your anger as you physically strike them because you're mad, that's abuse.

00:47:55.240 Period.

00:47:56.720 I mean, that's what abuse is.

00:47:57.860 Every time.

00:47:58.540 And if that's how you were raised, because you always see these comments, I was raised like this and I turned out fine.

00:48:04.400 Well, okay, then you were abused.

00:48:08.360 I mean, if you were raised by a mother or a father who would take out their anger on you physically, scream and yell and wail on you with a hand or a belt, then you were abused.

00:48:22.960 And, of course, I turned out fine.

00:48:25.100 Like, did you?

00:48:25.920 You probably didn't.

00:48:27.040 I mean, everyone always thinks they turned out fine, but a lot of us from the outside can see that, I don't know, your life is actually not that fine.

00:48:34.140 I don't know.

00:48:35.060 There's a lot of things about you that don't seem too fine to me.

00:48:39.640 But if that's what you, you know, went through, then you grew up in an abusive household.

00:48:44.140 That's what abuse is by definition.

00:48:45.560 And that's what you see in this video.

00:48:48.340 A woman who was totally out of control, infuriated, trying to inflict as much damage as she can, not for the sake of discipline, but for the sake of venting her frustrations. 1.00

00:48:57.740 Okay, when you react away to a child because you're mad at them and you're just trying to hurt them because you're mad, like, obviously that's abuse.

00:49:09.360 And what kind of boggles my mind about the people who defend this sort of thing is that we would never accept our children hitting other children out of anger.

00:49:21.440 Okay, we don't accept adults venting their frustrations and their anger by hitting other adults.

00:49:27.900 Yet, if an adult hits a child out of anger, then it's okay.

00:49:33.320 So, like, the only context where venting your anger by physically hurting somebody is okay is when a parent does it to a kid.

00:49:42.660 Wouldn't that be actually the worst form of it?

00:49:47.580 Isn't that worse than all the other forms? 0.83

00:49:51.440 I mean, if you're really mad and you want to hit someone, like, I would prefer you hit an adult.

00:49:59.860 If you got to hit, I mean, don't hit anybody, but I would prefer that.

00:50:03.020 That to me seems better, though still not good.

00:50:07.540 You know, there's a general principle here, which every parent should always have at the front of their minds.

00:50:12.260 And the principle is this, that you cannot expect your child to exhibit any trait.

00:50:21.440 That you have not demonstrated for them.

00:50:24.820 And you can't be angry at them for exhibiting any trait that you have demonstrated for them.

00:50:29.540 And it really is that simple.

00:50:32.900 And again, this is not me putting myself on a pedestal saying I'm a perfect parent.

00:50:36.160 This is a principle.

00:50:37.340 No one follows it perfectly.

00:50:38.580 It's hard to follow perfectly.

00:50:39.920 I mean, it's not hard to refrain, I would hope, from, you know, grabbing your child by the hair and beating them mercilessly because you're mad.

00:50:45.400 That should be an easy thing to not do, okay?

00:50:48.680 But in general, this general principle is not, you know, no one is going to bat a thousand with it.

00:50:55.040 But if you want your child to have self-control and discipline, you have to exhibit that.

00:51:02.700 And you always see these parents who have never exhibited that for their kids, ever, have never exhibited self-control, have never exhibited discipline.

00:51:14.260 And then they get mad when their kid doesn't exhibit the same.

00:51:17.200 How are they going to?

00:51:17.960 You didn't show them what that means.

00:51:19.180 I mean, you can't just yell at them, be self-controlled, be disciplined.

00:51:23.340 It doesn't work that way.

00:51:24.780 The kid is looking at you like, what do you mean?

00:51:26.400 I don't know what that means.

00:51:27.220 I don't know what it means.

00:51:28.300 How?

00:51:29.180 How do I do that?

00:51:29.960 I don't know how to do that.

00:51:30.600 You've got to show me, Mom.

00:51:31.860 You've got to show me, Dad.

00:51:34.200 And if you don't show them, then you can't expect them to exhibit it.

00:51:42.200 And this is also why, because you'll often hear it said that, well, when, in fact, I saw this said a lot in reaction to this video.

00:51:52.780 That, well, you know, it's old school, and hey, you only got to do that once.

00:51:58.380 You do it one time, and that kid will be whipped into shape, right?

00:52:01.760 You only got to do it once.

00:52:04.180 Well, it's like, that's not how it works, though, is it?

00:52:07.220 First of all.

00:52:09.060 I mean, the parents that are in the habit of, like, they get mad and they start hitting their kid, it's not just once.

00:52:14.300 And even if it was once, it's still not okay.

00:52:16.800 But it's not just once.

00:52:17.760 And it's also not true that the kids then start acting well-behaved magically.

00:52:23.080 In fact, a lot, like, go to the inner city sometime, okay?

00:52:27.380 And, yeah, the dad's not in the picture, but there's a mom at home.

00:52:30.440 And I can pretty much guarantee you that those kids, all of them, like, take any random kid, any gangbanger, any kid that's dealing drugs on the corner.

00:52:39.620 They all get beat at home, all of them.

00:52:43.660 How's that working?

00:52:46.340 It's only one time, and they'll be a straight-A student.

00:52:48.600 Oh, really?

00:52:49.240 Like, because it works exactly the opposite of that.

00:52:51.280 In real life, the exact opposite is what actually happens.

00:52:55.080 Why is that?

00:52:56.460 Well, because you're demonstrating a lack of self-control.

00:52:59.540 You're demonstrating a lack of discipline in your home.

00:53:03.060 And so your kids are going to do the same thing.

00:53:06.100 If you don't want your child to act a certain way, then you cannot act that way around them.

00:53:13.020 Because they're going to pick up the cues from you.

00:53:19.000 It is absurd to be angry at your child for doing things that you do. 0.97

00:53:25.740 It's actually ridiculous. 0.98

00:53:27.800 Which is why, I mean, really being angry at your kid ever is silly. 0.97

00:53:33.580 I've been angry at my kids plenty of times.

00:53:35.820 So it still happens.

00:53:37.580 But if you could take a step back, and it does help me sometimes when I get really frustrated or angry at something my kids are doing, which happens.

00:53:44.460 But if I can take a step back, if I can get myself to do that, just take a step back and think about this.

00:53:49.920 I realize that, okay, it's actually, it's not that I should let them get away with it.

00:53:53.220 If they do something wrong, they've got to be disciplined.

00:53:55.700 Got to enforce the rules for sure.

00:53:57.700 But for me to get, like, actively angry doesn't really make any sense.

00:54:01.680 Because my kids have never done anything that I didn't do when I was a kid, and that in some cases I don't do now.

00:54:11.380 You know, the other day, I came into one of my kids' rooms, and their closet was a huge, unorganized mess.

00:54:17.440 Like, they had been cleaning by just shoving things in the closet.

00:54:19.860 You know, those kids do.

00:54:21.180 And I tried to open the closet to get something, and it was like a cartoon where all the stuff falls out, you know, on top of you.

00:54:26.120 Like an avalanche.

00:54:26.740 And I got really frustrated.

00:54:29.180 You know, as a parent, you do.

00:54:32.220 But I also realized that, okay, well, I did the exact same thing when I was a kid, and I do that now.

00:54:37.360 Like, I still do that as a parent, as an adult.

00:54:40.740 I mean, if you go to the closet in my room right now, it's the same thing.

00:54:44.660 I do the exact same thing.

00:54:45.840 And does that mean that I told my kid, oh, well, it's okay.

00:54:50.920 You can keep your closet however you want.

00:54:52.380 No, not, of course not, because you still have to enforce the rules.

00:54:56.200 But it does, it takes you down a bit.

00:54:57.780 Like, it takes the temperature down a little bit when you realize that, okay, like, you know, I have no room to be angry about this, obviously.

00:55:05.620 But it's also not okay.

00:55:06.880 So we got to fix it.

00:55:08.420 But we're going to fix it in a, you know, you need to fix it.

00:55:10.660 But we're going to approach it in a calm way, in a calm, measured, self-controlled, disciplined way.

00:55:16.660 You know, stern, but not out of control.

00:55:19.140 If you're out of control, then your kids will be out of control.

00:55:21.520 And it's really that simple.

00:55:22.600 So that's my parenting sermon for the day.

00:55:29.740 We all know costs keep going up.

00:55:31.400 Groceries, gas, subscriptions, you name it.

00:55:33.000 We're at a point where we assume everything is going to be really expensive.

00:55:35.940 Case in point, 72% of Americans overestimate what life insurance really costs.

00:57:20.220 Well, if you've ever seen the John Carpenter movie called They Live,

00:57:24.380 you probably remember the pair of sunglasses that are discovered by the hobo main character.

00:57:28.600 Once he puts these sunglasses on, the hobo realizes that an awful lot of people

00:57:32.280 who appear to be human on the outside are, in reality, bug-eyed aliens.

00:57:35.580 And without giving the movie away, needless to say,

00:57:38.580 this revelation really changes the hobo's perspective on the world.

00:57:42.020 Nothing's really the same after that.

00:57:44.240 And over the weekend, courtesy of the social media platform X,

00:57:47.240 the conservative movement in this country had kind of a they-live moment.

00:57:52.320 Rather abruptly, for every single account on the platform,

00:57:55.820 X began disclosing the country where the account is based in,

00:57:58.880 meaning where the person has been posting from.

00:58:01.420 And additionally, X will tell you the region where the user downloaded the X app.

00:58:07.580 So if X detects that the poster is using a VPN to hide location information,

00:58:11.800 it will alert you to that possibility as well.

00:58:14.020 But in general, these two data points have been sufficient to reveal

00:58:16.600 most people's general location.

00:58:20.520 As a result, in just a matter of hours, we've learned conclusively

00:58:23.560 where not all, but a significant amount of the division on the right

00:58:30.720 and really in the culture generally, has been coming from over the past year.

00:58:36.380 And a lot of it has not been coming from Americans.

00:58:39.540 It has come, much of it, from foreigners posing as American citizens, 0.99

00:58:44.600 from foreigners posing as Native Americans,

00:58:47.680 from foreigners posing as Republicans,

00:58:50.360 from foreigners posing as Democrats.

00:58:53.560 In short, the division has been coming from foreigners. 1.00

00:58:56.520 And the scale of this propaganda campaign is so large

00:58:58.920 that it should be the single biggest news story in the country right now.

00:59:02.080 At the very least, it deserves 10 times more media hyperventilating

00:59:04.880 than everyone else, than everything else they're talking about.

00:59:08.520 Like, this is nothing like the, you know,

00:59:10.800 the fake accusations of Russian meddling in the 2016 election

00:59:13.640 where Russia supposedly spent $50,000 on Facebook memes

00:59:17.940 that nobody saw or cared about.

00:59:20.360 This is not that.

00:59:21.220 We're talking about a genuine intrusion by foreigners 1.00

00:59:24.900 into everyday American political discourse

00:59:28.480 for the clear purpose of dividing and distracting us from our own country.

00:59:33.440 And now that these frauds have been exposed,

00:59:35.520 they've been melting down to great comedic effect in many cases.

00:59:39.220 So we'll start with an account called Israel Exposed,

00:59:42.600 which, as the name implies, is fixated on the state of Israel.

00:59:46.480 This is a big account.

00:59:47.400 It has nearly 200,000 followers.

00:59:48.680 This is another thing.

00:59:49.080 A lot of these accounts have a lot of followers.

00:59:51.640 These are big accounts.

00:59:53.200 And to give you just one example of the kind of content this guy is putting out,

00:59:56.840 he posted this reply just a month ago

00:59:58.860 in response to a random person who criticized him.

01:00:01.700 He said, quote,

01:00:02.600 You are a Zionist pretending to be an American patriot. 0.99

01:00:05.760 We should deport you. 0.99

01:00:08.160 This is a common attack line, which you'll see all over the place.

01:00:11.660 Part of a constant, relentless effort to make Israel the subject of every discussion on the right.

01:00:18.760 Everything has to go back to Israel. 0.99

01:00:20.740 Everything all the time.

01:00:21.900 It always comes down to Israel for certain people on the right.

01:00:24.720 As we talked about last week, it's Israel first, just from the other direction. 1.00

01:00:32.360 And what they'll say sometimes, you know, is if you don't criticize Israel 24-7 like they do, 0.52

01:00:37.660 if you don't make everything about Israel all the time, then you're not patriotic.

01:00:42.600 You're not sufficiently America first.

01:00:45.160 If you're not thinking all the time, every day, every hour, every moment of the day about another country,

01:00:50.480 which is Israel, then you're not America first.

01:00:52.680 Being America first means being focused entirely on another country. 0.73

01:00:56.760 That's what these people would say.

01:00:58.700 And according to, you know, at least this one account, you should be deported if you are not that focused on it.

01:01:03.980 Well, this account, of course, has also gone after me several times and hasn't been particularly effective. 0.91

01:01:09.660 Just a few days ago, for example, I pointed out that Muslims are killing Christians 1.00

01:01:12.840 and generally have animosity towards Christians and have for, you know, about 1,400 years or so. 0.77

01:01:19.260 Specifically, I wrote that, quote,

01:01:20.320 Of course, that's true.

01:01:31.060 But here's what Israel Exposed wrote in response, quote, 0.98

01:01:33.120 So, you know, just more brain-dead nonsense. 0.96

01:01:42.920 The millennia-long conflict between Islam and Christianity, I will tell you, 0.95

01:01:47.860 has nothing to do with the country of Israel established in 1948.

01:01:52.420 But this is the kind of slop that's polluted right-wing discourse for a long time.

01:01:57.440 And that's all that this account does.

01:01:58.660 And over the weekend, we learned where this account is from.

01:02:02.700 As you can see there, he actually is based in Saudi Arabia.

01:02:07.580 Yes, the account that was threatening to deport an American citizen,

01:02:11.580 use the word we to talk about Americans, is not even American, right?

01:02:18.080 He's a foreign agitator posing as an American in an effort to destroy political discourse in this country. 1.00

01:02:23.700 Now, multiply this account by about 10,000, and you begin to see the scale of the problem.

01:02:29.680 So here's another example.

01:02:30.660 This is a post from an account called Native American Soul.

01:02:34.600 And it depicts a woman pretending to be, you know, extending a middle finger in front of Mount Rushmore, 0.76

01:02:41.080 along with the message,

01:02:42.180 You're on looted land.

01:02:44.740 Well, you know, it's pretty inflammatory, but the kind of thing we're used to seeing.

01:02:48.400 Pretty aggressive message.

01:02:51.180 But actually, that's not the remarkable thing about this post.

01:02:54.020 The really amazing thing is that this particular Native American is, we just found out,

01:02:58.740 posting from Bangladesh.

01:03:01.340 Hmm.

01:03:02.040 Yes, we have the world's first Bangladeshi Native American.

01:03:06.420 Glass ceiling has been broken.

01:03:09.380 At this point, I'm starting to wonder if that woman was ever really in front of Mount Rushmore.

01:03:15.080 Or is she even a real person?

01:03:18.680 Of course, she's not.

01:03:20.480 And as it turns out, there are many, many, allegedly Native American accounts that are also from Bangladesh.

01:03:26.060 This is a whole cottage industry over there.

01:03:28.720 This is very, very common.

01:03:30.140 Here's another one.

01:03:30.720 This one's called Native American Pride.

01:03:33.160 And then there's Native American Culture, which publicly lists its location as Indianapolis.

01:03:38.020 But in reality, they are also from Bangladesh.

01:03:41.540 And here's one of their recent posts.

01:03:42.780 In the smoke of ancient pipes, our ancestors whispered to the winds.

01:03:47.780 From the northern lakes where the eagle soars, to the southern rivers where the jaguar prowls,

01:03:52.520 this red earth has always been our heartbeat.

01:03:54.860 It is all Native land.

01:03:58.240 Now, presumably, the primary intent of many accounts like this is to farm engagement and sell merchandise.

01:04:06.380 But it would not be difficult to imagine that foreign governments are heavily involved here as well.

01:04:12.600 Of course they are.

01:04:13.180 And either way, we're going to need an option to block or mute all accounts from outside of America.

01:04:20.140 I mean, that's the next step here.

01:04:21.400 We should be able to block or mute based on region and country.

01:04:25.100 And honestly, that should probably be the default option at this point.

01:04:30.380 The slop is so far out of control that just something needs to be done.

01:04:34.120 Take the account Mahmoud Gaza, for example.

01:04:36.600 A few days ago, he wrote, quote,

01:04:38.180 All I hear now is F-35 and intense bombs south.

01:04:42.460 Got hundreds of thousands of views for reporting on the brutality of an Israeli bombing raid.

01:04:46.760 But it turns out that Mahmoud, despite its handle, is not in fact based in Gaza.

01:04:52.560 Big shock there.

01:04:53.280 As you can see, he's really thousands of miles away in Poland.

01:04:58.000 You know, dealing with those Israeli bombing raids in Poland, apparently.

01:05:02.340 And this is just the tip of the iceberg.

01:05:03.820 Turns out that for a while, BBC has been citing someone named Matasim E. Dalul,

01:05:10.180 claims to be a journalist in Gaza.

01:05:11.760 Here's one example of the BBC's coverage, which you can see.

01:05:15.460 Quote, Matasim Dalul, a journalist in Gaza City, told the BBC he had seen and heard

01:05:20.480 multiple Israeli airstrikes there on Thursday.

01:05:23.280 From time to time, there are fighter jets which carry out attacks and destroy homes and other

01:05:26.820 facilities, he said.

01:05:28.940 And indeed, you can see why the BBC would find this guy to be pretty compelling.

01:05:32.840 Seems to document a lot of really awful examples of war crimes as part of his job as a journalist

01:05:37.660 in Gaza.

01:05:38.560 For example, in October, he posted this viral tweet, which you can see.

01:05:42.020 He, quote, Israeli occupation forces left booby-trapped toys behind them in Gaza.

01:05:47.020 Why all of this hate for Palestinian children?

01:05:50.320 Now, in recent days, he's also claimed that children are trembling in Gaza because it's

01:05:53.500 apparently freezing in their tents, even though Gaza is actually relatively warm right now.

01:05:57.520 But in retrospect, it makes sense why he would say that it's cold.

01:06:01.800 And can you guess why?

01:06:03.460 Well, yes, it turns out that Matasim Dalul is actually based in Poland, which is indeed

01:06:09.800 cold this time of year.

01:06:11.520 This is someone the BBC has been citing as an authoritative source on the ground.

01:06:14.700 It's someone who's been taken seriously by leftists as an eyewitness to atrocities, and 0.99

01:06:19.080 he's a liar. 0.93

01:06:20.120 And there are many, many more accounts like this. 1.00

01:06:22.600 Far too many to list.

01:06:23.540 To give one more example, an account called Naila Ayyad, which has nearly 100,000 followers,

01:06:30.340 recently posted the question, does Zionism control the world?

01:06:34.960 And the account's public location is the United States, which again, you can see.

01:06:38.800 But over the weekend, X revealed that he's actually in the Netherlands.

01:06:41.960 And meanwhile, another large account that posts similar messages called Tiberius Files has

01:06:46.320 180,000 followers.

01:06:47.920 Turns out he's posting from Thailand, not the US.

01:06:50.580 The account MAGA Nation, with nearly 500,000 followers, is based in Eastern Europe.

01:06:56.800 There are a number of other MAGA accounts that are not based in the US.

01:06:59.660 Actually, there's a lot of them.

01:07:00.920 You can just type MAGA into X, the search bar, and just go down the list, and you're

01:07:05.000 going to find a lot that are not from here, including a bunch of accounts like this one,

01:07:09.480 Ivanka Trump News, which has a million followers and is based in, it turns out, Nigeria.

01:07:16.720 So you can get your Ivanka Trump News from Nigeria.

01:07:22.860 This is an endemic problem.

01:07:25.180 And now that it's being exposed, some of these foreigners are not taking it too well.

01:07:29.140 Consider the account Garbage Human.

01:07:30.640 This is another slop account that doesn't post anything relevant or interesting or valuable

01:07:36.660 at all, as you could guess, based on the name of the account.

01:07:39.340 Now, but it is someone who posts obsessively about American politics and American culture.

01:07:44.600 He's also been attacking me a lot lately.

01:07:46.540 This is part of the engagement farming shtick, is you go after accounts that are bigger than

01:07:52.080 you because you want to get their engagement.

01:07:54.480 You have nothing to offer, just kind of like a parasite, just leeching off of someone.

01:07:58.680 And of course, by acknowledging it right now, sort of giving him what he wants, I understand 0.55

01:08:02.080 that, but unfortunately, it's a necessary evil in order to expose the extent to which foreigners 1.00

01:08:09.060 are intruding in our national conversation.

01:08:11.600 Well, it turns out this guy is actually from Australia.

01:08:15.540 And this is one of the more embarrassing discoveries, which is really saying something, because Australia 0.62

01:08:20.460 is falling apart.

01:08:22.400 They don't even have free speech rights.

01:08:25.060 They arrested Billboard Chris a few weeks ago for holding a sign in a public place.

01:08:29.340 Their economy is declining.

01:08:32.220 It's got a lot of problems.

01:08:34.620 But instead of fixing his own country, this particular Australian is obsessing over the 0.86

01:08:37.760 US.

01:08:40.040 I mean, this is a guy who stays up all night so that he can post about America while Americans

01:08:45.200 are awake, while doing nothing at all for his own country.

01:08:48.200 It's another thing to keep in mind with these foreign accounts, and you see them posting slop 0.97

01:08:52.640 all day.

01:08:54.040 Well, if they're from like Australia, it means they just stay up all night. 1.00

01:08:56.940 It means like this is some guy in a foreign country up at like three in the morning, just 1.00

01:09:03.000 obsessively engagement farming off of American politics and American culture.

01:09:08.500 And there are many such cases.

01:09:11.960 Now, it's important to understand that all these people want, excluding any government operatives

01:09:18.460 that may be involved, what most of them want is attention.

01:09:21.740 And they're realizing that, now that they've been exposed as frauds, that no one's going

01:09:27.280 to care what they have to say anymore.

01:09:29.280 I mean, once you lie to your audience, you're done.

01:09:31.680 You know, it's really that simple.

01:09:33.360 Presumably, that's why professional MAGA hunter Ron Smith, a relatively large account,

01:09:38.260 just left X entirely.

01:09:40.160 Deleted his whole account after X revealed that he's actually from Kenya.

01:09:43.480 A country that, among its many faults, you know, doesn't have a lot of MAGA supporters.

01:09:48.480 Meanwhile, over in Saudi Arabia, the account known as Proud Black Conservative is still

01:09:53.740 going strong.

01:09:54.420 They have not left in shame.

01:09:57.400 This is someone who, based on his profile picture and bio, doesn't seem like the typical

01:10:01.860 resident of Saudi Arabia, especially when you see God Bless America, you know, American

01:10:07.020 flag right there in the bio.

01:10:10.020 But indeed, as you can see there, he's from the Middle East. 0.62

01:10:13.260 Just another black MAGA guy in the Middle East posting slop day in and day out. 1.00

01:10:19.400 Although, strangely enough, he's stopped posting his slop ever since this weekend. 0.98

01:10:22.540 So we'll see what happens there.

01:10:23.780 And we're going to see a lot more of this as the grift continues to dry up.

01:10:26.860 And that means we have a real opportunity here to refocus our conversation on issues that

01:10:31.260 matter to Americans instead of angry foreigners. 0.94

01:10:35.160 But just for my own purposes, it's been eye-opening to click on the accounts of people who are attempting

01:10:38.700 to troll me and seeing which third-world hellhole they come from.

01:10:42.800 Some of my most dedicated trolls are, you know, in fact, I had some in mind.

01:10:48.780 As soon as this went live, I'm like, okay, here's a few I'm going to check right away.

01:10:53.920 Almost every single one, not from America. 0.54

01:10:56.040 What do you know?

01:10:56.560 This guy, for example, was telling me to get back to work from Paraguay. 0.99

01:11:02.580 It's almost too pathetic to even comprehend. 0.91

01:11:06.920 I mean, imagine if I decided to devote a single second of my day to fighting with a podcaster 0.97

01:11:13.700 in Paraguay.

01:11:14.660 I can't imagine doing that, being so invested in another country that I'm getting into arguments

01:11:21.280 with their comment, with their podcasters in that country.

01:11:26.360 I'd have to jettison every ounce of self-respect I ever had, even comprehend the idea of obsessively

01:11:30.720 attacking a foreign podcaster.

01:11:32.580 But for these people, it comes natural.

01:11:35.360 In other news, we did finally learn where the Church of Satan is based.

01:11:38.920 And no big surprise there.

01:11:40.600 For many years, the Church of Satan has been operating in an undisclosed location, presumably

01:11:44.020 one of the circles of hell.

01:11:45.560 But now we have a more precise location.

01:11:47.460 It turns out that they're actually based in Canada.

01:11:50.740 So, you know, no big surprise.

01:11:53.340 Now, having run down this very incomplete, non-exhaustive list of foreign influence ops

01:11:58.480 on X, I know I'm going to get more angry messages from these foreigners who are furious 1.00

01:12:04.320 that they've been outed and just very upset to be accused of being non-Americans, which

01:12:09.480 they are.

01:12:10.760 So let me save you all some time.

01:12:12.220 And here's my message to all of you who are crying in my mentions right now.

01:12:18.920 Here's the thing.

01:12:20.600 Because we're not saying that...

01:12:22.600 I keep getting this response from these foreigners saying, well, what are you saying? 1.00

01:12:26.420 We have no right to...

01:12:27.520 We can't give our opinion about...

01:12:29.380 You can give your opinion.

01:12:32.040 You can give your opinion all you want.

01:12:33.400 But we don't care.

01:12:37.180 You know, because most of the debates that we have on social media are about American

01:12:42.280 politics and American culture.

01:12:45.260 And we don't care what some random guy in the Philippines or wherever has to say about

01:12:51.420 those subjects any more than he would care what we have to say about the internal disputes

01:12:55.420 in his country.

01:12:56.140 Okay, if you're a foreigner, I'm sure you have a lot of great opinions about the stuff

01:13:00.760 happening in your own country.

01:13:02.100 Talk about that all you want.

01:13:04.140 But the debates in and about America are for Americans.

01:13:07.480 If you are not from this country, we don't care what you think about American politics. 1.00

01:13:12.780 We don't care what you think about American culture.

01:13:15.840 We don't care what you think about American elections.

01:13:17.580 Why would we?

01:13:20.780 You have no skin in the game here.

01:13:22.600 You have nothing invested in it.

01:13:23.980 You're not from here.

01:13:24.780 You don't live here.

01:13:25.980 Nothing that happens here affects you.

01:13:29.520 And this actually matters.

01:13:31.000 You know, it's not just annoying that so many foreigners are butting into the conversation. 1.00

01:13:34.720 It's actively harmful.

01:13:37.600 And the reason is that we cannot have a coherent or productive political debate if that debate

01:13:43.360 includes a whole bunch of random foreigners from all across the world who have no state 0.99

01:13:47.580 in this country, no skin in the game, no firsthand knowledge of our culture at all.

01:13:54.020 And that's why it's very important to identify the foreign intruders and bully them mercilessly 1.00

01:13:58.520 until they shut up and leave us alone.

01:14:01.380 Like, we cannot talk about or fix any of our problems when we've got a mob of foreigners 1.00

01:14:07.220 constantly barging into the conversation.

01:14:11.500 So mind your own business.

01:14:14.320 Okay?

01:14:14.800 Focus on your own problems.

01:14:17.580 Your grift is over.

01:14:21.440 It's that simple.

01:14:23.220 And that is why all of the foreigners posing as Americans on social media, all the many, 1.00

01:14:27.380 many thousands of them, are today canceled.

01:14:31.660 That'll do it for the show today.

01:14:32.520 Thanks for watching.

01:14:33.000 Thanks for listening.

01:14:33.620 Talk to you tomorrow.

01:14:34.380 Have a great day.

01:14:35.200 Godspeed.

01:14:44.240 Marjorie Taylor Greene resigns from Congress.

01:14:46.220 And Elon Musk reveals all of the foreigners influencing our politics. 0.99

01:14:50.000 Check it out from The Michael Knowles Show.

01:14:51.660 Rinse takes your laundry and hand delivers it to your door.

01:14:58.200 Expertly cleaned and folded.

01:14:59.800 So you could take the time once spent folding and sorting and waiting to finally pursue a whole new version of you.
