00:00:00.000 Canada can be a global leader in reducing the harm caused by smoking, but it requires actionable steps.
00:00:09.160 Now is the time to modernize Canadian laws so that adult smokers have information and access to better alternatives.
00:00:16.180 By doing so, we can create lasting change.
00:00:19.360 If you don't smoke, don't start.
00:00:21.760 If you smoke, quit.
00:00:23.420 If you don't quit, change.

00:00:27.400 Today on the Matt Wall Show, the investigation into the Brown University shooting has been a debacle unlike anything we've ever seen before.
00:00:35.840 What the hell is going on exactly?
00:00:37.300 We'll talk about it today.
00:00:38.340 Also, the Attorney General of Minnesota has identified the culprits responsible for all the car thefts in his state.
00:00:44.400 And the culprit is the car manufacturer, of course.
00:00:47.420 And the House finally passes a bill banning child mutilation.
00:00:50.700 Thank God.
00:00:51.200 All of that and more today on the Matt Wall Show.
00:00:57.400 Every time you use Facebook or Google, you're paying with your data.
00:01:22.540 These companies track your activity and use it to sell targeted ads that can influence and manipulate you.
00:01:26.940 If privacy matters to you, there are steps you can take to protect yourself online.
00:01:30.420 One tool I use is our sponsor, ExpressVPN, which encrypts your internet traffic and hides your browsing from your ISP.
00:01:37.000 If you're not actively protecting your privacy online, your ISP can see every site you visit.
00:01:40.660 And in the U.S., they can legally sell that data.
00:01:43.060 Meanwhile, data brokers are tracking you through your IP address, building detailed profiles of everything you do online.
00:01:49.320 As someone who spends hours researching for each show, I rely on ExpressVPN all the time, especially when I have to connect to airport or public Wi-Fi on the go.
00:01:56.080 It's worth it for me to have peace of mind of knowing my data is safe.
00:02:00.420 It encrypts all my activity, hides my IP address, so my ISP has nothing to sell and data brokers can't track me.
00:02:06.420 It's incredibly fast and easy.
00:02:07.520 Just one button to turn it on works on all your devices.
00:02:09.880 And one subscription covers 14 of them, so you can protect your whole household.
00:02:14.060 Plus, you don't need to be tech-savvy to use it, but experts at CNET and The Verge rank it as the number one VPN in the world.
00:02:20.080 I partner with ExpressVPN because I want all my viewers to have access to this important privacy information,
00:02:24.840 which is why right now you can get an extra four months when you go to expressvpn.com slash Walsh.
00:02:30.240 That's E-X-P-R-E-S-S-V-P-N dot com slash Walsh to get an extra four months.
00:02:35.280 Past a certain point, incompetence starts to be indistinguishable from malice.
00:02:40.860 People who are so extraordinarily terrible at their jobs to the degree that they cause serious harm to others
00:02:47.680 should be treated just as harshly, if not more harshly, than bad actors who intend to cause damage in the first place.
00:02:53.880 If you take a shower one day and you end up getting electrocuted,
00:02:57.140 it doesn't really matter from a practical perspective whether your electrician meant to kill you or not
00:03:01.840 when you hooked up your wiring in the bathroom. The effect is that you're dead.
00:03:05.940 The electrician is to blame, and he should pay the highest price for that.
00:03:10.540 Now, Brown University, the Ivy League school in Providence, Rhode Island,
00:03:13.260 has now crossed the threshold into extreme incompetence that is indistinguishable from malice.
00:03:19.900 So have local authorities in Providence, as well as any federal authorities who are working on the case.
00:03:24.500 On Saturday at 4 p.m., as you may have heard nearly five days ago,
00:03:27.800 a gunman shot 11 people on the campus of Brown University.
00:03:32.280 One of the two victims who died was the vice president of the university's chapter of the College Republicans.
00:03:38.900 There are reports that she may have been targeted and that she was shot multiple times at close range.
00:03:44.200 And in the aftermath of this mass shooting and possible political assassination,
00:03:48.420 the university authorities have bungled the case so flagrantly,
00:03:52.300 so many times, that they may as well be working with the shooter.
00:03:56.580 We truly have never seen a high-profile murder investigation that's been botched as extensively as this one,
00:04:04.180 at least not in recent memory.
00:04:06.920 Now, whether it's being botched deliberately or not, it doesn't really matter.
00:04:11.900 And therefore, if you're a conservative, particularly if you're an outspoken conservative on campus or at work or anywhere,
00:04:18.000 that means you need to start taking steps to ensure your own safety.
00:04:21.140 Assume absolutely nothing about the level of concern that your administrators or bosses or superiors may have for your well-being.
00:04:29.760 Because the odds are they have no concern for that whatsoever.
00:04:34.400 They'll celebrate your death and they'll let your killer escape.
00:04:37.640 So let's start with this hypothetical.
00:04:39.080 Let's say that you run the Brown University Department of Public Safety or the Providence Police Department
00:04:44.260 or the FBI's local field office in Rhode Island.
00:04:47.800 And then let's say that during a study session in a lecture hall at the local university,
00:04:51.940 which was attended by many students, there's a mass shooting.
00:04:56.020 And the shooter runs away.
00:04:58.320 What's the first thing you're going to do in order to identify the shooter?
00:05:04.360 So odds are you're going to do two things.
00:05:06.120 You're going to check one of the 1,200 surveillance cameras that Brown has admitted are installed on campus to see if they picked up anything.
00:05:14.900 And then while those cameras are being reviewed 24-7, you're going to interview every witness,
00:05:20.480 especially the students who were attending the study session.
00:05:23.160 You're going to talk to every single one of them.
00:05:25.160 You're going to take statements from those students about what the shooter looked like
00:05:28.540 and what he may have said and where he may have gone, what exactly happened, and so on.
00:05:33.280 And if you don't know the names of the students who are taking the class or who are in the building,
00:05:38.000 you get it from the school.
00:05:39.740 You see who swiped into the building.
00:05:41.460 You check the class roster.
00:05:42.980 It should take like 10 seconds.
00:05:45.460 This is all common sense.
00:05:47.620 I mean, it almost feels absurd to say any of this out loud because your average third grader would understand all of it.
00:05:52.960 And yet on Wednesday, we learned that the authorities still have not spoken to all of the witnesses
00:05:57.920 in the room where the shooting occurred.
00:06:01.440 This is footage of the Providence Police Chief, Oscar Perez.
00:06:06.120 Watch.
00:06:07.620 Colonel, can you now explain to us five days later how many students were in that classroom?
00:06:14.080 Sadly, two lost their lives.
00:06:15.720 Nine others didn't do it.
00:06:16.680 Encouraged about the update today.
00:06:18.660 But can you now say how many kids were in that classroom?
00:06:22.580 And did the gun come in from the back so these people never knew it was coming?
00:06:25.860 Or did he come in front with full view of everybody?
00:06:29.680 That's all part of the interviews and actually cooperating with Brown to get the roster.
00:06:34.420 That was a study hall.
00:06:35.400 So we don't have the number.
00:06:36.360 We're still getting information as far as who was there.
00:06:39.480 I know Brown sent out an email to the students to notify us if they were present.
00:06:44.900 And we're still getting that.
00:06:45.680 So I can't give you an exact account now.
00:06:47.360 So we can barely speak English, but it's okay because the Providence City Council made racial
00:06:53.380 equity a top priority after George Floyd's overdose.
00:06:56.380 So don't worry about it.
00:06:58.160 And by the way, while we're at it, here's an image of the head of Brown's police department,
00:07:01.580 a guy named Rodney Chapman, who you can see here on the screen.
00:07:05.600 And he's been the subject of multiple no-confidence votes by multiple police unions in the past year.
00:07:10.760 But don't worry, like the female president of Brown and the Spanish-speaking chief of police in Providence,
00:07:17.160 Rodney Chapman is diverse.
00:07:18.780 So, you know, it's all okay.
00:07:21.460 Yes, everybody involved in this debacle at every level is diverse, quote unquote.
00:07:28.440 Imagine that.
00:07:29.020 Now, in any event, the upshot from the police chief's comments, as best I can decipher,
00:07:34.100 is that the Providence Police Department is still trying to figure out who was even there in the room
00:07:41.140 when the shooting happened five days ago, which is an extraordinary admission.
00:07:47.380 I mean, this is the lowest caliber of police work imaginable under the circumstances.
00:07:51.720 And then he made reference to this statement from Brown University,
00:07:54.240 which was sent out on Monday evening, two full days after the shooting, quote,
00:07:58.280 the Providence Police Department has asked that anyone who is in Barris and Hawley,
00:08:02.540 the building where the shooting occurred, on Friday or Saturday, December 12th through 13th,
00:08:07.320 arrange for an interview.
00:08:09.240 And they provide an email address to contact.
00:08:12.300 Now, that's a request that should have gone out immediately on Saturday night.
00:08:17.560 And they really shouldn't need to make the request because, again,
00:08:20.820 the building should have been locked down immediately.
00:08:22.820 And everyone should have been identified on the spot with a class roster or with the access card readers or with cameras.
00:08:33.480 But if that's not possible for some reason, then you still need to conduct the witness interviews immediately one way or another.
00:08:39.720 Instead, the police in the university waited 48 hours to reach out to potential witnesses.
00:08:48.040 And 100 hours after the fact, they still haven't conducted those interviews.
00:08:53.540 Now, there are only two possible ways to explain this delay.
00:08:57.860 Either the police and the school want to assist the shooter in making his escape.
00:09:02.200 That's one possibility. We can't rule it out.
00:09:05.920 Or everybody involved is criminally incompetent and needs to be fired and treated as if they were accomplices after the fact.
00:09:14.980 These are the two options.
00:09:16.120 When you zoom out and consider the timeline of this debacle, you really can't come to any other conclusion.
00:09:22.620 First of all, just hours after the shooting, the authorities announced that they had identified a person of interest in the shooting.
00:09:27.120 His name and photograph were plastered everywhere.
00:09:29.200 It was a white guy who had some military experience.
00:09:32.220 And within 24 hours, they released him, saying they didn't have enough evidence to hold him.
00:09:37.940 And after that, the first surveillance images of another potential suspect surfaced from ring cameras in the neighborhood.
00:09:44.560 And this new suspect looked absolutely nothing like their first person of interest.
00:09:48.640 The new suspect was much, much larger, much less physically fit.
00:09:53.820 So, right away, that raised the question of why they suspected the white guy in the first place.
00:10:00.640 And then on Monday, the authorities conceded that the shooter had shouted something.
00:10:06.200 Shouted something that many, many people would have heard.
00:10:09.840 But they refused to say more.
00:10:11.380 They also didn't address speculation the shooter may have shouted Allah Akbar, as some outlets had reported.
00:10:17.640 Instead, they gave a vague and kind of equivocal response.
00:10:20.720 Now, there's a report the shooter yelled something right before the shot came in.
00:10:26.800 Could you tell us what that, what that was?
00:10:29.140 Yeah, it's a part of the investigation, John.
00:10:31.140 And we'll, yeah.
00:10:31.820 The only reason I ask that, though, is, for instance, like with the Unabomber, his brother recognized the writing.
00:10:39.500 So, is it possible a friend or family member might recognize if the person said something that was significant?
00:10:49.000 Correct.
00:10:49.340 That's why you don't, other than the 9mm, is there anything else inside that auditorium that you could tell us?
00:10:56.520 No, that's correct.
00:10:57.300 And listen, like I said earlier, investigations will bring us to evidence that we need to collect in order to be able to prosecute.
00:11:05.380 With that being said, with that being said, we're going to continue to collect evidence.
00:11:11.460 And if it leads us to something to that nature that's going to be extremely helpful for us to identify somebody, we'll be the first ones to put it out.
00:11:18.260 Now, imagine if the shooter had yelled or even been rumored to have yelled something like, this is MAGA country.
00:11:27.480 Is there any doubt they'd tell us that within like five seconds of the shooting?
00:11:31.720 All of their hesitation in doublespeak, it's also obviously fake and performative at this point.
00:11:37.460 And of course, when you get doublespeak and nonsense, you get an information void.
00:11:41.260 And when there's an information void in every single case, it gets filled with speculation, for better or worse.
00:11:47.880 So as it became clear that the authorities weren't going to share any meaningful information, internet sleuths got to work.
00:11:53.480 And they identified as a potential person of interest, a brown student and self-described Palestinian refugee with a very public profile whose body type was a rough match with the surveillance images.
00:12:06.360 And this new individual is clearly a radical leftist.
00:12:08.980 He had social media accounts with exotic personal pronouns, sympathized with Hamas, boasted about his extensive work at, quote, the intersection of queer studies and Palestine studies.
00:12:20.640 Which seems like it has to be some kind of parody, but it's real.
00:12:24.460 You know, the intersection of queer studies and Palestine studies is a bit like, you know, the intersection of transgenderism and the Taliban.
00:12:31.200 The only relevant intersection in Palestine as it relates to homosexuals is the intersection where the gays land when they get thrown off of roofs.
00:12:41.320 And nevertheless, Brown University's PR department had aggressively promoted this guy as a migrant success story who was bravely showing the white man who's boss.
00:12:49.960 Now, is this Palestinian refugee studying the intersection of queer studies and Palestine studies also the shooter?
00:12:57.700 I have no idea.
00:12:59.320 No one does.
00:13:00.520 It's all wild speculation from random people on the internet.
00:13:03.640 That's why I'm not going to name him.
00:13:05.220 I'm just telling you that this is what's going on.
00:13:06.940 It's part of the story.
00:13:08.640 But then something strange happened.
00:13:11.240 This guy's social media profiles began disappearing.
00:13:13.740 So did the glowing articles that Brown had posted on their website about him.
00:13:18.960 And then Brown posted this statement online.
00:13:21.980 Quote, we've seen harmful doxing actively directed at at least one member of the Brown University community.
00:13:27.260 It's important to make clear the targeted, the targeting individuals could do irrevocable harm.
00:13:32.580 Accusation, speculation and conspiracies we're seeing on social media and in some news reports are irresponsible, harmful and in some cases dangerous for the safety of individuals in our community.
00:13:42.740 It's not unusual as a safety measure to take steps to protect an individual's safety when this kind of activity happens, including in regard to their online presence.
00:13:50.500 As law enforcement officials stated, if this individual's name had any relevance to the current investigation, they would be actively looking for this individual and providing information publicly.
00:14:01.040 Now, superficially, in general, it seems like a kind of reasonable response.
00:14:05.380 It would obviously be horrible to publicly smear an innocent man as a potential suspect at a mass shooting, which is why it was horrible that just a few days ago, the authorities did exactly that by naming an innocent white guy as their suspect.
00:14:20.080 But there are two strange aspects of this statement from Brown.
00:14:23.340 First of all, it's not an explicit denial.
00:14:28.120 They don't clearly and unambiguously deny that this Palestinian refugee, quote unquote, is a suspect or that he's being investigated.
00:14:36.080 They could have just said that, but they didn't.
00:14:38.200 Instead, they imply that his name doesn't have relevance to the current investigation, which is a weird way of saying that he's not a suspect, if that's what they're saying.
00:14:46.780 Note the weird phrasing in that message where they say, if this name had any relevance to the investigation.
00:14:54.440 And we'll come back to that in a second.
00:14:56.200 Secondly, there's reason to doubt that the department would, in fact, inform the public if this individual did become a suspect.
00:15:04.220 A Providence police major in charge of the investigation admitted to reporters that, in fact, there are some facts that they are hiding from, quote, public view.
00:15:13.660 Watch.
00:15:13.760 We're just here in furtherance of the investigation into the Brown University shooting.
00:15:21.000 There's really not much I can tell you, like I told you before, but it's just the investigation running its course.
00:15:27.340 Now, this investigation, you know, it's got to be run right.
00:15:32.660 And sometimes you have to do things that, you know, aren't in the public view as of yet.
00:15:37.420 Not that we're hiding anything.
00:15:38.700 It's just the way we work.
00:15:40.300 So that's why we haven't been able to give you much information.
00:15:44.940 But we're trying to do the best job we can.
00:15:47.300 And some things we have to keep, you know, out of the public light until we're ready to come out with everything.
00:15:53.040 Well, it's not exactly a rousing promise of transparency.
00:15:55.540 And it gets worse when you listen to what the president of Brown and the Rhode Island attorney general said separately.
00:16:00.960 The president of Brown said that she has no idea that the university is deleting websites.
00:16:07.940 She had no idea that they're deleting websites about this person.
00:16:10.480 And the attorney general basically shouted down reporters who asked about the individual.
00:16:13.940 But again, he didn't explicitly rule him out as a suspect either.
00:16:18.880 So we'll play those two clips back to back.
00:16:20.560 Watch.
00:16:20.780 We have been working very closely with law enforcement to provide them with all of the internal to Brown information that they need to do this investigation.
00:16:40.980 It's their investigation.
00:16:42.400 They're the professionals.
00:16:43.320 So we're providing information.
00:16:44.920 We're not in the job of reviewing it for them.
00:16:48.240 I know nothing about web pages being taken down as part of this.
00:16:52.500 It's the first I've heard of it.
00:16:54.040 There are lots of reasons why a page might be taken down, particularly if there's chatter out there about, to your question, Amanda, about words that were spoken.
00:17:04.120 It's easy to jump from someone saying words that were spoken to what those words are to a particular name that reflects a motive targeting a particular person.
00:17:14.420 That's a really dangerous road to go down.
00:17:17.920 Really dangerous.
00:17:19.020 If that name meant anything to this investigation, we would be out looking for that person.
00:17:24.360 We would let you know we were looking for that person.
00:17:27.340 You know, again, I think it's just a really dangerous road to go down.
00:17:30.960 I know that in today's age, there are lots of things that people read into things.
00:17:35.660 It's just a dangerous thing to do.
00:17:37.840 And I would leave it to us to identify persons of interest and let us run them down.
00:17:43.480 What the public can do for us today is help us figure out who this guy is.
00:17:48.460 Now, first of all, why is the attorney general appearing at these press conferences at all?
00:17:51.800 The job of the attorney general is to prosecute state level offenses.
00:17:55.060 So what is he doing at this stage when there's an active investigation?
00:17:58.540 Imagine if you're this student and you've been falsely smeared all over the Internet.
00:18:05.420 And instead of defending you and clearly stating that you're not remotely a suspect,
00:18:10.160 the attorney general barges into the press conference for no reason, grandstands, and threatens reporters for asking about you.
00:18:18.780 I'd be livid.
00:18:20.660 If you were actually innocent, you'd be livid about that.
00:18:23.660 Secondly, notice the phrasing he used.
00:18:26.720 He says, if that name meant anything to this investigation, then they tell us the name.
00:18:32.580 Which is virtually identical to the language in the statement that Brown released.
00:18:36.360 And it's a very strange, like, tortured way to make the point.
00:18:39.740 Why not just say, if that individual was relevant to the investigation, we'd tell you.
00:18:44.940 He's not a suspect or even a person of interest, period.
00:18:47.940 But they could just say that.
00:18:50.720 The individual you're talking about is not a suspect.
00:18:53.200 He is not a person of interest.
00:18:54.560 End of story.
00:18:56.620 But they're not saying that.
00:18:57.680 Instead, they keep saying that the guy's name isn't relevant.
00:19:02.040 It's very odd to repeat the same phrasing, especially when the phrasing is so awkward.
00:19:07.160 Now, yet, it's possible, yes, that they're trying and failing to clearly state that he's not a suspect or a person of interest.
00:19:13.120 Maybe these people are all foreign language speakers or something, and they lack the capacity to clearly spell out a simple thought.
00:19:19.360 But it's also possible, based on what they're saying, that they're not ruling this guy out as a potential person of interest just yet.
00:19:27.680 Maybe they're saying, they're trying to say that, well, maybe he is a person of interest, but his name, you don't need to know his name.
00:19:36.140 His name is not relevant to you.
00:19:39.260 His name doesn't matter.
00:19:41.800 Maybe that's what they're saying.
00:19:42.540 Who knows what they're saying?
00:19:44.100 We don't know.
00:19:45.820 But that possibility became even more pronounced yesterday when the following image was released of a separate person of interest in the case.
00:19:52.740 This surveillance image appears to show a woman wearing a black hijab walking near the crime scene and the original person of interest in the case.
00:20:00.140 And obviously, this image raises the specter, once again, of Islamist terrorism.
00:20:05.340 It raises the question of whether foreigners and leftists have once again murdered Westerners as part of their global jihad or their intifada, as the mayor of New York prefers to call it.
00:20:16.780 And if that is indeed what happened here, and again, we have no idea at this point, then it becomes very relevant and very important to revisit Brown's claims about the cameras on their campus.
00:20:28.700 I came across this article from Brown's student newspaper, which was published back in March.
00:20:33.640 It's about how the students at Brown were upset at the situation at Columbia, another Ivy League school where leftist criminals are rampant.
00:20:41.940 And here's what it says.
00:20:42.520 It's quote, on Thursday afternoon, approximately 200 students gathered on the main green at Brown to protest the arrest and detainment of Columbia alum and activist Mahmoud Khalil by Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers at Columbia on Saturday.
00:20:55.220 The protesters also requested the university destroy footage of past and future political speech on campus, including security camera footage.
00:21:02.980 So the left-wing pro-Palestine activists are demanding that Brown erase security camera footage, supposedly so that ICE and the Trump administration can't deport them when they commit crimes.
00:21:17.280 Did Brown comply in any way with that demand?
00:21:20.880 There are many more demands like it all year long.
00:21:23.380 And that's not surprising.
00:21:24.280 Leftists despise surveillance cameras, particularly ring cameras, because they tend to catch Democrat voters committing crimes.
00:21:29.660 Yesterday, a reporter asked this specific question at one of these press conferences.
00:21:32.980 And once again, the authorities did not answer.
00:21:36.880 The camera in that building that Brown put off because the sanctuary city law that we have, you don't want to recall illegal immigrants and you don't want to provide the footage to the FBI or immigration authority.
00:21:51.080 One camera in that building, it come out from your detectives, they're afraid of mine.
00:21:55.100 They're angry at this investigation, that these people in Brown university put the camera off.
00:22:00.400 They can't identify that person.
00:22:01.740 Do you imagine how the family want to go through?
00:22:04.140 We heard from both the Brown police chief and the provost at Brown who have shared that they have been fully cooperative and shared, been forthcoming with all data and evidence that they have.
00:22:19.520 That was not the only moment the authorities gave an unsatisfactory answer on this point.
00:22:24.240 Two days ago, the attorney general stated that some buildings on campus are old and therefore it's simply unrealistic to expect a multibillion dollar university to put cameras on those buildings.
00:22:33.680 This is reminiscent of the secret services excuse about sloped rooftops.
00:22:38.900 If you remember that, watch.
00:22:39.940 It doesn't come as a surprise to me, at least, that there are cameras in the newer part of the building.
00:22:45.640 And there is video footage, okay?
00:22:47.560 So there's the back part of the building, old part, and front part, new part.
00:22:51.560 The shooting occurs in the old part towards the back, up towards Hope Street.
00:22:55.380 In that older part of the building, there are fewer, if any, cameras in that location.
00:23:00.620 I imagine because it's an older building.
00:23:03.440 So as students are fleeing the area of the shooting into the new part of the building, there are cameras in that brand new building that show that chaos.
00:23:13.380 But the only video of the presumed, anticipated, suspected, however you want to define it, person of interest, you have it.
00:23:26.280 And we would release it if we thought it would be helpful in identifying this subject because we are relying on the press and public to help get us there.
00:23:35.820 There would be no reason for us to hold it back.
00:23:38.020 We're looking for the best images we have.
00:23:41.260 Now, the answer never made any sense.
00:23:42.880 For one thing, as Fox reported, there are older buildings on the campus, including the president's residence, that have cameras.
00:23:47.460 And secondly, it's not hard to install a camera on a building of any age.
00:23:51.760 You can install a camera on a tree trunk if you want to.
00:23:55.120 You just need a drill.
00:23:57.300 I mean, it's like claiming that you can't wear brand new shoes and walk on a really old floor.
00:24:02.040 It just, it makes no sense.
00:24:04.400 It's like if someone says, hey, your shoes look really old.
00:24:07.020 Well, yeah, the floor's old.
00:24:08.900 What do you expect?
00:24:10.560 You need to get some new shoes.
00:24:12.300 Well, I can't.
00:24:12.900 You see, you know how old these floors are?
00:24:16.260 There's no need to overthink it because within 24 hours, this answer completely changed once again.
00:24:20.740 Suddenly, according to Brown's provost, there were cameras in the building.
00:24:25.120 Turns out.
00:24:27.660 And as a reporter pointed out before he was cut off, the provost's answer was nonsensical.
00:24:32.900 Watch.
00:24:33.140 There are a hundred cameras located throughout the campus.
00:24:37.760 We don't publish the locations of the cameras.
00:24:40.420 That would give a map to somebody to evade detection on the cameras.
00:24:44.700 So that would be counterproductive to do that.
00:24:47.020 There are cameras in this building.
00:24:48.520 And as I answered the previous question, we have turned over all evidence that we are holding at Brown to law enforcement and are cooperating fully with them.
00:24:56.800 So you're saying that there's cameras in the building.
00:25:00.100 I was told yesterday there wasn't cameras in the building.
00:25:02.180 The attorney general said old building, no cameras attached to a new building with cameras.
00:25:07.340 I believe he said that there were two different phases of the building that might have two different levels of technology.
00:25:13.000 Again, all video imagery has been turned over to law enforcement.
00:25:16.820 That doesn't make sense.
00:25:17.720 I mean, I just want to say that.
00:25:18.880 So that about sums it up.
00:25:20.520 Nothing about this investigation makes sense, which means that in a roundabout way, it makes perfect sense.
00:25:24.820 This is what you get when you hire university presidents and police chiefs based on their gender and ethnicity.
00:25:30.780 It's what you get when you tolerate riots and terrorism on college campuses all over the country in the name of global jihad.
00:25:38.660 And most of all, it's what you get when leftists from students to school administrators to public officials feel like their ideology is losing at a national level.
00:25:48.880 You get dead conservatives.
00:25:51.920 And then you get gloating.
00:25:54.600 The account Aesthetic on X, which has been one of the most trustworthy sources for investigations like this, reported that in the aftermath of Saturday's attack, quote,
00:26:02.240 a Brown University subreddit had to be shut down because in the immediate aftermath of the shooting, far left pro-Palestine Redditors were celebrating the murder of Ella Cook, the college Republican's VP who was killed.
00:26:13.540 So it's the same gloating we saw from the left after the attempted assassination of Donald Trump, the murder of a UnitedHealthcare CEO, and of course, after the murder of Charlie Kirk.
00:26:24.240 And now we're seeing the same gloating after the murder of a conservative student on a college campus.
00:26:30.500 This is what happens when our leaders are more concerned about Venezuela than protecting conservatives and dismantling left-wing terror cells.
00:26:38.500 Leftists gloat openly about butchering their political opponents and don't even try to hide it.
00:26:43.540 And based on how the very diverse leaders of Brown University and the local police department have handled this so-called investigation,
00:26:51.880 it's not exactly a stretch to conclude that when the cameras are turned off after these ridiculous press conferences, they're gloating too.

00:29:26.100 I completed my Christmas shopping early this year.
00:29:29.260 This is early for me.
00:29:30.040 What are we, just exactly a week before Christmas.
00:29:33.380 Already done my shopping.
00:29:35.200 Already feeling pretty good.
00:29:36.280 I've never been this ahead of the game.
00:29:40.880 Now, granted, it's easy for me because I'm only buying for one person, which is my wife, but even so.
00:29:48.200 And as I say every year, because I just have to, and I think it's one of the best selling points in a day and age when people are hesitant to get married.
00:29:56.440 One of the, I mean, not the best, not the main thing, not the headline, but like one of the perks of marriage, if you're a man anyway, is that the holidays become so much easier.
00:30:06.780 They really do.
00:30:07.340 I mean, they're much more enjoyable because you have a family, you know, you got a wife and you have kids.
00:30:10.560 Uh, so there's that, uh, but then also the stress of the holidays, especially around, you got to buy everybody gifts and all that kind of stuff, organize whatever you're going to, you're going to see family, figure all that stuff out.
00:30:23.700 Uh, that's off your plate when you're a man who's, your wife takes care of that.
00:30:27.760 And, uh, and that's great.
00:30:29.020 And they love it.
00:30:29.660 They love it too.
00:30:30.380 They love all that stuff.
00:30:31.720 Even if they pretend they don't, they love all that stuff.
00:30:33.940 They love buying the gifts.
00:30:34.840 They love all that.
00:30:35.480 So really you're doing them a favor as the man.
00:30:38.940 And when you, you just let your life, your wife take care of all the gifts and all the arrangements, it's really generosity on your part.
00:30:46.040 I mean, honestly.
00:30:47.660 So my wife goes out and I mean, I, I make the money.
00:30:50.560 I give the money to her.
00:30:51.700 Well, I mean, it's in a bank account.
00:30:52.900 She takes the money out.
00:30:54.040 She goes by and buys the gifts for everybody.
00:30:57.040 And, uh, really it's easy for me.
00:30:59.720 And, and I think I'm being very magnanimous.
00:31:01.660 I'm being very generous because I'm a lot.
00:31:03.340 She, she's, she's being, being allowed to do this thing that she really enjoys doing.
00:31:07.940 And, uh, and I don't have to, and then I, and then it's great on Christmas morning.
00:31:11.340 I find out, I find out what I got everybody.
00:31:15.980 So it's kind of a surprise for me too.
00:31:18.360 The kids open the gifts and say, oh, thanks dad.
00:31:21.740 And I say, for, oh yeah, I thought you'd like that.
00:31:26.620 Figured you really liked that thing there that I got you.
00:31:29.680 So, um, so it's great.
00:31:32.420 I, I can't, uh, recommend it enough and so much better.
00:31:35.880 I mean, I had a, I had a few years, several years of adulthood prior to marriage, uh, before
00:31:43.820 marriage where, so where I had to handle a lot of this stuff.
00:31:48.100 I mean, I haven't, you know, it wasn't as much, but I had to, there's like, I had to
00:31:52.000 buy gifts, family members and whatever.
00:31:55.340 And, uh, I just never want to go back to that.
00:31:57.100 And that was back, like that was back in the day, if you can imagine it, that was back
00:32:00.380 in the days before Amazon or maybe Amazon existed, but you didn't have Amazon prime.
00:32:04.560 You couldn't just order anything at all and have it appear at your doorstep in 45 minutes.
00:32:09.420 It was before that anyway.
00:32:11.960 So I had to go and I always waited till the last minute, of course.
00:32:15.740 So it's just a cliche.
00:32:17.160 I'm out.
00:32:17.700 It's like Christmas Eve, uh, an hour before the mall closes and I'm there and I've got
00:32:24.820 to buy gifts for 14 people.
00:32:27.100 And here I am walking around, like physically walking around looking with my own feet, my
00:32:33.080 own legs.
00:32:33.760 I'm walk, I have to walk around on some quest to find gifts for all the, I have like a list
00:32:39.700 of all these people and I got to find a gift.
00:32:41.340 They might like, I don't want to, I don't want to go back to that.
00:32:43.600 I can't go back to it and I never will have to.
00:32:45.540 Um, so, uh, so it's great.
00:32:50.140 All right.
00:32:52.440 And I've got my festive Christmas shirt today too.
00:32:56.600 So this is, this is as festive as I get.
00:32:59.040 It's got, you probably can't see it on camera, but it's got a little, it's got a little, uh,
00:33:02.440 like Christmas lights on the, on the shirt.
00:33:04.220 So this is, this is for me putting on a shirt like this.
00:33:07.360 This is why this is crazy.
00:33:08.500 This is, this is me getting wild and crazy.
00:33:10.160 I walked out this morning.
00:33:12.040 My wife saw me in this shirt and said, Whoa, Whoa, hit the eggnog a little early this morning.
00:33:16.700 This is, this is calm.
00:33:18.020 Take it easy.
00:33:19.140 Calm down.
00:33:20.520 So, and then I come in here and they try to tell me I can't wear it on camera because
00:33:24.860 it's too busy and it will look weird on camera.
00:33:27.360 It's like, this is Christmas.
00:33:31.120 The war on Christmas has made it into my own studio.
00:33:35.700 So I don't know how it looks on camera, but it's supposed to look festive.
00:33:39.340 All right.
00:33:39.820 I've got three clips, three stories that I want to play.
00:33:43.840 They're separate, but related.
00:33:45.920 So here's the communist mayor of New York on the Trevor Noah podcast defending again,
00:33:52.520 his idea to make the buses free in the city.
00:33:57.700 Listen to this.
00:33:58.880 We made five bus routes free in New York city.
00:34:01.760 When we made those bus routes free after a year, assaults on bus drivers dropped by 38.9%.
00:34:07.700 On the bus drivers?
00:34:08.900 On the bus drivers.
00:34:09.380 Because unlike the train, the act of fare collection on the bus happens on the bus.
00:34:14.720 It's their job.
00:34:16.100 And bus drivers and unions have shared anecdotally that about 50% of assaults happen around the
00:34:26.300 fare box.
00:34:27.160 So when you eliminate the fare box, you make for a safer experience for the bus driver,
00:34:32.960 for everyone on the bus.
00:34:33.640 Yeah.
00:34:34.620 Yes.
00:34:35.280 Perfect logic here.
00:34:36.140 So what he's saying is that bus drivers get assaulted by drugged out vagrants when they
00:34:41.020 try to collect bus fare.
00:34:42.220 So the solution is to stop collecting bus fare.
00:34:44.660 That's the solution that he's come up with, uh, is, is, uh, you know, scumbags are assaulting
00:34:49.900 you when you try to make them pay.
00:34:51.280 And so just don't make them pay and they won't hit you anymore.
00:34:54.560 I mean, this is like, if your son was getting beat up for his lunch money on the way to school
00:34:59.940 every morning and he came to you about it and you said, well, I guess, I guess the only
00:35:05.140 solution is for you to stop eating lunch.
00:35:08.420 I guess son, we, we, we just have to stop giving you lunch money.
00:35:12.840 Can't give you a, can't give you a bag lunch either.
00:35:16.200 Cause they'll take that too.
00:35:17.260 So it's the only solution.
00:35:20.340 Now it really is, is your fault.
00:35:22.140 Honestly, son, for, uh, this is your fault for having lunch money that could be stolen.
00:35:29.120 You're not telling him to stay it up for himself.
00:35:30.800 You're not telling him to hit back.
00:35:31.940 You're not even like going to the principal about it.
00:35:33.500 Your solution is just to cower to the boys.
00:35:36.200 Although I guess really the correct analogy would be if your son had that problem.
00:35:40.260 And so instead your solution was to give him, uh, a separate bag of, uh, you know, or, or,
00:35:47.800 or whatever of lunch or lunch money that he could give to the bullies, basically like
00:35:52.740 pay them off, uh, every morning or something like that.
00:35:57.040 Either way, it's pathetic, but somehow not worse than this.
00:36:01.600 Same idea, but this is even worse from Keith Ellison, the attorney general of Minnesota.
00:36:10.780 And, uh, and here's what he has to say about the problem of, uh, cars being stolen and who's
00:36:18.460 to blame for that in Minnesota.
00:36:20.460 Watch everybody.
00:36:22.100 Keith Ellison here.
00:36:23.500 Public safety isn't only about holding people accountable when they commit crimes.
00:36:27.680 It's also about holding corporations accountable when their negligence puts Minnesotans at risk.
00:36:33.700 In 2021, the Kia boys challenge, the Kia boys challenge swept social media after a few teenagers
00:36:41.000 posted videos on TikTok showing how Kia and Hyundai vehicles could easily be stolen.
00:36:47.440 This wasn't true.
00:36:48.580 Another car makes because nearly all other cars sold in America came equipped with something
00:36:53.820 called an engine immobilizer.
00:36:56.140 That standard came in almost all cars, but not in Kias and in Hyundais.
00:37:01.300 Relatively few of them had the technology for the simple reason that these companies didn't
00:37:06.460 make this common sense technology standard and installed them in their cars as they did
00:37:13.700 do in Mexico and Canada.
00:37:17.360 Same car.
00:37:18.700 Attorney general's office.
00:37:19.640 We led a bipartisan investigation into the vulnerabilities and uncovered just how serious
00:37:25.820 these problems were.
00:37:27.240 Even after Hyundai and Kia said that they had fixed the problem.
00:37:31.660 They hadn't fixed the problem.
00:37:32.840 We pressed these companies to do much more and we won.
00:37:35.920 Under the settlement, Hyundai and Kia must provide free ignition cylinder protectors for every
00:37:43.400 vulnerable vehicle.
00:37:44.420 They must pay millions of restitution to people whose cars were stolen or damaged.
00:37:51.020 And every car they sell from now on must include anti-theft technology.
00:37:56.760 The same standard the rest of the industry has used for years.
00:38:00.980 At the end of the day, friends, when corporations cut corners, people get hurt.
00:38:06.160 I'm going to hold them accountable every time.
00:38:08.600 Okay, so let's follow this.
00:38:11.100 Track the logic.
00:38:13.400 Teens in Minnesota.
00:38:15.040 Teens.
00:38:15.940 Teens in Minnesota, we're calling them, are stealing cars all over the place.
00:38:22.200 Keith Ellison looks at this and says, hmm, hmm, these criminals are stealing cars.
00:38:29.280 What can we do about that?
00:38:31.780 Hmm.
00:38:32.080 And he thinks about it for a while and then he says to himself, oh, I know, I'll sue the
00:38:37.820 car manufacturers for not making it harder to steal the cars.
00:38:41.400 Yeah, the cars are the problem.
00:38:43.240 We've got all these cars being stolen.
00:38:44.980 Who's at fault for that?
00:38:46.120 Oh, I know, the cars.
00:38:48.660 Maybe if the cars hadn't been dressed like that, this wouldn't have happened.
00:38:52.640 I mean, if you're a car, you should know better than that.
00:38:54.640 You can't go around dressed like that.
00:38:57.820 You're asking for it.
00:38:58.760 You're asking for it when you go around looking like that, like as a car.
00:39:06.740 So this is even worse than the bus fare thing because there are two obvious points about
00:39:14.000 car theft.
00:39:16.100 One is that if you want to prevent them, the way to do it is not to punish the people who
00:39:20.920 make the thing that's being stolen.
00:39:22.180 Okay, if somebody steals my watch, I'm not going to then go write an angry letter to
00:39:28.320 the company that made the watch.
00:39:30.360 Okay, if someone steals my wallet, I'm not going to call up the wallet company.
00:39:34.660 I'm not going to call, you know, 1-800-WALLET and start yelling at them because someone stole
00:39:40.020 my wallet.
00:39:40.520 That's not what I'm going to do.
00:39:41.360 No, what you do, Keith, is you severely punish the thieves.
00:39:47.600 Have you even tried that?
00:39:49.560 Have you even tried that?
00:39:51.200 I mean, he mentions the Kia challenge or whatever, which is just these quote-unquote teens stealing
00:39:59.860 cars.
00:40:00.500 What happened to them?
00:40:02.580 What happened to the teens, Keith, that were stealing cars apparently on camera as a TikTok
00:40:08.780 challenge?
00:40:09.200 What happened to them?
00:40:11.360 Did any of them go to jail at all?
00:40:16.260 I'm betting that like none of them did any serious time in jail.
00:40:20.700 So they're stealing cars.
00:40:22.140 You do nothing about it at all.
00:40:24.560 You do not punish these people in the slightest bit.
00:40:27.580 And then you're confused about why it's happening.
00:40:30.480 And second, before you blame the companies making the cars, what about the people who are
00:40:38.720 making the car thieves?
00:40:41.360 Rather than looking at the car manufacturers, what about the car thief manufacturers?
00:40:49.360 What blame do we put on them?
00:40:50.640 You know, have you noticed, have you noticed something about car theft?
00:40:58.980 It's, I mean, this just simple reality, not a problem in white neighborhoods that put
00:41:06.220 the cards on the table.
00:41:09.140 Not a problem in white neighborhoods.
00:41:11.060 Like the number one way to ensure that your car is not stolen is to park it in a predominantly
00:41:17.080 white area.
00:41:18.780 That's a fact.
00:41:19.400 It's just true.
00:41:21.480 That's a statistical fact.
00:41:23.360 So if you're trying to get to the bottom of it, why are all these cars being stolen?
00:41:27.340 What's going on here?
00:41:28.860 That's kind of a, you got to deal with that.
00:41:31.580 You can't overlook that.
00:41:32.880 You know, as I've said before, I have lived, I live now in, you know, various different
00:41:39.960 small town, rural places that are not diverse, very little diversity.
00:41:47.420 And in those places, nobody's car is stolen.
00:41:51.620 Like ever.
00:41:52.260 I mean, you could leave your car, you could leave the key in your car and the car running
00:41:56.820 and the door unlocked and nobody will steal it.
00:42:02.240 So this can't just be an issue of making sure cars aren't easy to steal because the weird
00:42:07.840 thing is like, depending on where you live, you could go to, if you live in a place like
00:42:16.380 this, if you live in one of these places where this is not an issue, you could go to the
00:42:22.160 gas station, leave your keys in the car with the car running, get out of the car, announce
00:42:27.820 loudly, hey, everybody, I am going to leave my keys in this car right here and the door
00:42:33.360 is going to be unlocked and I'm going to go into the store and I'm going to be in there
00:42:37.460 for 10 minutes and I will not be watching.
00:42:40.480 And by the way, I'm parked in a place where there's no security camera.
00:42:44.220 The security camera does not cover this area.
00:42:46.360 So that's what's happening, everybody.
00:42:48.080 I'm going to go in right now.
00:42:49.480 There will be 10 minutes with a key in this car and no one will know if you take it.
00:42:54.800 Okay.
00:42:55.480 See ya.
00:42:56.080 You could do that and nothing will happen.
00:42:59.800 You come out 10 minutes, 10 minutes later and the key, the car will still be running.
00:43:06.720 Like it's more likely that somebody will have just like helpfully, uh, I don't know, wiped
00:43:13.000 off your windshields for you.
00:43:14.040 That's more likely than, than it will be stolen.
00:43:18.760 And yet if you go to the, uh, areas in the country where the quote unquote teens are doing
00:43:27.740 quote unquote TikTok challenges, like the one that Keith Ellison is talking about.
00:43:31.820 If you go there, you could lock your door, take the keys, have every anti-theft system
00:43:37.100 in place, park it in a well-lit area, security cameras all over the place.
00:43:41.080 You're running in and out in two and a half minutes, going as fast as you can.
00:43:44.820 And it might still get stolen.
00:43:48.440 Why is that?
00:43:49.220 Um, you know, that, that's what Keith Ellison doesn't want to talk about.
00:43:56.960 Um, and it's just not possible for us to have any meaningful or, uh, productive conversation
00:44:04.840 about crime, unless we're going to acknowledge that fact.
00:44:08.820 Why are there communities where if you left your keys in the car for 10 seconds, it is guaranteed
00:44:16.500 to be stolen.
00:44:18.360 And then there are other communities where you could just never lock your door or your
00:44:22.640 car ever.
00:44:23.380 And you could live there for 40 years and nothing will ever be stolen.
00:44:27.100 Why is that the case?
00:44:30.240 And that also reminds me of this clip that someone posted.
00:44:32.480 This is a guy named, uh, the guy who posted it anyways, named Dries von Legenhove.
00:44:37.280 And he posted this footage, which is, I think not, not from America.
00:44:40.700 I think this might be the Netherlands.
00:44:42.600 I'm not sure, but here's the footage.
00:44:45.400 Yet another local farm sand got plundered by migrants this morning, this time in a small
00:44:50.000 countryside town of Hunsul.
00:44:51.860 These last semblance of high trust society are rapidly disappearing due to incessant,
00:44:55.520 shameless theft by hostile invaders.
00:44:58.260 And, uh, you can see, we'll, we'll show you a few seconds of the footage.
00:45:01.480 There it is.
00:45:03.100 So this goes on for five minutes.
00:45:05.300 These, uh, apparent migrants spend five minutes just clearing this place out, taking their
00:45:09.080 time.
00:45:09.900 They, they go back, they, they take a bunch of stuff, leave, and then they come back.
00:45:14.300 Cause you know, it's too much, they're stealing too many things to fit.
00:45:18.660 It's, it's too many, too much to carry.
00:45:20.600 So they go back several times and, um, steal everything.
00:45:25.420 Now these farm stands are also very common in certain parts of America.
00:45:31.620 Um, I've, I've lived in various places that have these farm stands.
00:45:36.320 A couple of years ago, we had one in our, near to our neighborhood at about three minutes
00:45:41.140 away.
00:45:41.400 And we'd go, uh, every Saturday morning and we would grab some fresh eggs and some produce
00:45:46.120 at this farm stand.
00:45:47.800 And that was kind of our routine.
00:45:49.000 And it was nice.
00:45:50.400 And it was just a nice thing.
00:45:51.740 It's like a very nice thing.
00:45:52.900 It's a very nice thing to have in your, in your community.
00:45:55.540 Right.
00:45:55.900 It's not, it doesn't, it's not going to make or break you, but it's like a really nice
00:45:58.800 thing to have.
00:45:59.640 You can just go right down the street.
00:46:01.020 You got the fresh eggs, you got fresh produce.
00:46:02.740 You just hop in there and, uh, usually there's nobody there.
00:46:06.120 Sometimes there is like maybe the guy who runs the farm stand is kind of milling about
00:46:09.460 and he's out in his front yard.
00:46:11.400 You say hi to him.
00:46:12.020 And a lot of times they're not there.
00:46:15.020 And, uh, the stands are just unmanned.
00:46:17.120 Like they're unmanned little shacks, usually in someone's front yard.
00:46:20.760 Uh, and you take what you want.
00:46:23.280 Prices are listed.
00:46:24.300 You put money in a box or something.
00:46:26.040 Sometimes there's, um, you know, these days there's like a QR code.
00:46:29.560 You can, you can scan it.
00:46:30.540 You can pay that way.
00:46:31.200 And it's, uh, it's totally, it's just the honor system.
00:46:34.580 It's just the honor system is all it is.
00:46:37.280 And this is what it's like to live in a high trust society as the caption notes.
00:46:41.560 It is possible to have this kind of trust in your neighbors.
00:46:45.180 In fact, this used to be the norm all across America is very possible.
00:46:48.640 It's not some kind of utopian thing.
00:46:50.840 There are still communities like this in America.
00:46:54.720 And it's not just about the farm stand.
00:46:56.460 The farm stand is kind of like the canary in the coal mine, like coal mine.
00:46:59.760 If I go to a community and I see that they have a farm stand, I can immediately make a number of significant assumptions about that place.
00:47:08.400 If I was looking for a house and I was looking to move into a neighborhood and that's one of the things I'm going to look for.
00:47:16.040 Not that, like, if it doesn't have a farm stand, it's automatically a bad area.
00:47:20.660 But to me, if I see that, that tells me a lot.
00:47:23.620 That tells me a lot about this place.
00:47:25.360 It tells me that it's safe.
00:47:27.500 It tells me it's low crime.
00:47:28.980 It tells me people are basically friendly.
00:47:30.700 It tells me there's a strong sense of community.
00:47:32.260 It tells me that the people in this community are honest people, relatively speaking.
00:47:38.860 And I could assume all of that from the presence of an unmanned farm stand.
00:47:44.060 Now, on the other hand, if your neighborhood cannot have a farm stand, I don't mean, like, if your neighborhood doesn't have one.
00:47:51.160 I mean, there's plenty of neighborhoods that are nice and don't have them.
00:47:52.800 But if your neighborhood just couldn't have one, if it would not be possible to have one, then that's the only indicator I need to tell me that I don't want to live there.
00:48:05.240 I don't want to live there.
00:48:06.420 And here's the thing.
00:48:07.220 To maintain this level of high trust requires that basically everyone is on board.
00:48:13.320 And somebody on X made this point.
00:48:15.000 I think it was the account's name.
00:48:16.600 The guy is Wayne is his name.
00:48:18.080 And he made the point that it really doesn't make touch, doesn't take much to ruin this, right?
00:48:25.660 It's not like, it is not as though, and this is something that, and this is his point, Wayne's point, that the crime statistics don't fully take this into account.
00:48:36.060 Because you start looking at percentages and you can say, well, here's the crime percentage and here's the, and it seems like a low percentage.
00:48:42.820 But that doesn't tell you the whole story because it doesn't take much.
00:48:49.800 Okay, a high trust society does not merely require that a majority of people are trustworthy.
00:48:58.420 Okay, if you get over the 50% hump, you're not anywhere, you're not anywhere close to living in a high trust society.
00:49:07.160 High trust society where you, as the name implies, you can just basically trust everybody around you.
00:49:11.100 It doesn't mean they're perfect, it just means that you can, you can basically trust that they're not going to try to rob or kill you.
00:49:17.480 Like, that's kind of, that's the lowest bare minimum for high trust is you can basically trust that the people around you in your community are not going to try to rob or kill you.
00:49:26.460 They're helpful, they're nice, they're polite.
00:49:29.860 And, uh, and, and, and they're just good people to have a community.
00:49:32.900 It's kind of it.
00:49:33.580 And in order to have that kind of community, it's not good enough to, well, 51% of people are trustworthy or 60%.
00:49:42.300 Like if, if even 3% of the people in your community are dysfunctional, thieving, low-class scumbags, it ruins the whole thing.
00:49:55.420 3% ruins the whole thing.
00:49:57.360 2% ruins it.
00:50:00.120 1% ruins it.
00:50:03.580 If you have a high trust community, if you have a high trust neighborhood, and some people move out, some people move in, and now 1% of the people in your community are these kinds of people, it ruins the whole thing.
00:50:18.120 It drags, it destroys the entire thing.
00:50:20.920 You go because of 1% from high trust to low trust.
00:50:23.640 Because it only takes 1%.
00:50:26.460 That 1% means you can't have your farm stand.
00:50:33.260 It means, neighbor, it means, uh, you know, maybe the neighborhood, uh, block parties and barbecues are, uh, maybe you can't do those anymore because of the kinds of people that show up to them.
00:50:44.600 Halloween, those sorts of things start looking a little bit different.
00:50:46.780 It means you have to lock your doors.
00:50:50.280 Stop leaving your keys in the car.
00:50:53.300 You have to walk around every day, constantly taking into account the kinds of dangers that you never even had to consider before.
00:51:01.600 So it doesn't take much.
00:51:03.700 And that's the point.
00:51:04.760 And this, and this relates, that's the point about when we talk about migration.
00:51:08.160 Immigration is, uh, it doesn't, this is why we talk about cutting off immigration from the third world.
00:51:17.600 It doesn't take much.
00:51:21.080 We say, we say, you know, import the third world, become the third world.
00:51:24.780 It's not like, well, you become the third world.
00:51:27.720 Once there's 55% of people in the community who are third worlders, that, that process starts, that transition starts much sooner than that.

00:52:30.420 This episode is sponsored by Vandy Crisps.
00:52:33.780 Did you know that chips and fries were traditionally cooked in tallow until the 1990s when major food corporations made the switch to cheaper processed seed oils?
00:52:43.500 These seed oils now account for about 20% of the average American's daily caloric intake.
00:52:49.260 And emerging research suggests they may be contributing to metabolic dysfunction and increased inflammation throughout the body.
00:52:55.280 That's where Vandy Crisps comes in.
00:52:57.400 They actually decided to do something about this mess by creating potato chips the way they should be made with just three simple ingredients and zero seed oils.
00:53:05.340 We're talking heirloom potatoes, sea salt, and 100% grass-fed beef tallow.
00:53:10.040 And that's it.
00:53:10.660 Here's the thing about that beef tallow.
00:53:12.060 It's not just there for incredible flavor.
00:53:14.040 It's loaded with nutrients that are actually good for you, your skin, brain, hormones.
00:53:18.800 Plus, when you eat Vandy, you'll feel satisfied and energetic without the gross, sluggish feeling dragging you down afterward like regular chips so often do.
00:53:27.700 They're 100% American-made with zero compromises.
00:53:30.140 And honestly, they truly are the best chips I've ever had.
00:53:33.440 Vandy Crisps has a lot of great flavors worth trying, but their original flavor is probably my favorite.
00:53:39.620 I like to keep it simple.

00:54:00.440 All right, BBC reports, White House Chief of Staff Susie Walsh has disputed portions of a Vanity Fair article in which she paints an unflattering picture of the Trump administration and many of its top officials.
00:54:11.980 In the interview, Walsh described Donald Trump as having an alcoholic's personality and Vice President J.D. Vance as having been a conspiracy theorist for a decade.
00:54:20.460 In a post on X, Walsh said the Vanity Fair disregarded significant context to create an overwhelmingly chaotic and negative narrative about the administration.
00:54:30.440 And other White House officials have come out and disputed this Vanity Fair article, which you probably heard about.
00:54:38.820 This featured various members of Trump's inner circle, including Susie Wiles.
00:54:43.920 And now they're all coming out and saying that they've been taken out of context.
00:54:46.880 It was a hit piece and all that.
00:54:49.780 Which, yeah, of course it was a hit piece.
00:54:52.280 Of course you were taken out of context.
00:54:53.800 What did you think was going to happen?
00:54:55.980 What did you actually think?
00:54:57.300 When you sit down for multiple interviews with Vanity Fair, what do you think they're doing?
00:55:03.940 They also all got their pictures taken and the pictures look terrible.
00:55:08.660 Which, you know, they're like these super close-up photos of their faces.
00:55:12.920 Anyone looks bad.
00:55:14.860 Super close-up.
00:55:16.060 It's almost like they look like their faces fill the whole frame.
00:55:19.540 Looks like SpongeBob SquarePants or something.
00:55:21.340 And now it seems like people in the White House are shocked by this.
00:55:26.440 And I'm just really tired of these Republicans offering themselves up like this.
00:55:33.220 Why would any Republican do a print interview with a mainstream publication at this point?
00:55:39.640 Much less a series of interviews over the course of weeks and months.
00:55:43.700 Why would you do it?
00:55:46.260 And the Trump White House is especially prone to this.
00:55:49.080 Like they're constantly pushing back against these out-of-context quotes for print interviews.
00:55:54.180 Why are you doing them?
00:55:55.720 What's the plan?
00:55:56.960 What is the win?
00:55:58.840 So you should always be asking yourselves.
00:56:00.500 One of the most basic things in politics.
00:56:02.640 What is the win?
00:56:03.820 How do you win here?
00:56:07.460 Here's the potential win.
00:56:09.120 Here's how this could potentially.
00:56:10.040 Here's the loss.
00:56:10.820 Here's the L that we could take.
00:56:12.240 Here's how it could go awry.
00:56:13.260 Anyway, is there a much more significant chance of the loss than the win?
00:56:20.180 And if you do end up with a loss, will it hurt you more than the win would help you?
00:56:24.180 And if the answer is yes to all those questions, don't do whatever it is you're thinking about doing.
00:56:31.920 I'm not a politician.
00:56:33.460 I'm not any kind of high-level political operative.
00:56:35.400 And yet I know to never do print interviews unless it's on a very specific, limited, narrow subject.
00:56:40.940 Or if I'm promoting something and we got a movie coming out and I figure, well, even if they do a hit piece, they're still serving my agenda by promoting the movie or whatever.
00:56:51.240 So, hey, let them go ahead and do it.
00:56:52.780 But that second thing doesn't apply to the White House.
00:56:57.800 It doesn't apply to the White House chief of staff or anybody else in the White House.
00:57:01.040 I mean, when you're a podcaster, a commentator, a filmmaker, and you're promoting something, it's true that for the most part, any press is good press.
00:57:10.840 Almost any press.
00:57:11.780 But when you're in the White House, when you're a politician or political official, that is not the case.
00:57:17.540 Any press is not good press.
00:57:19.820 And more importantly, we just don't have time for it.
00:57:24.220 We don't have time for this.
00:57:27.060 You should have more important things to do than talk to Vanity Fair.
00:57:29.920 And what really annoys me is that I'm sure the reason they did the interview is because they're not stupid.
00:57:35.640 So they would have known.
00:57:37.680 I mean, we could joke about how, well, how did you not know?
00:57:39.620 Well, no, of course, of course, of course they know that it could end up being a hit piece.
00:57:43.500 It almost certainly will end up being a hit piece.
00:57:46.400 So I can only assume that the plan is, well, if we get attacked from Vanity Fair, then that will help rally the base around us.
00:57:54.520 So it's that kind of play.
00:57:55.560 But we're really tired of rallying around the negatives, right?
00:58:01.400 We want to rally around the positives.
00:58:04.760 Like rallying around because we're being attacked or lied about or unfair things are happening.
00:58:09.800 We're just tired of that.
00:58:11.520 We want to rally around the wins.
00:58:13.840 We want to rally around victory.
00:58:17.700 We want to rally around the smoldering ruins of our enemies, metaphorically speaking.
00:58:22.980 Metaphorically.
00:58:23.460 The metaphorical smoldering ruins.
00:58:28.400 Okay, we want a victory party, not a pity party.
00:58:31.460 That's what we're looking for.
00:58:33.180 And that's where the base is right now.
00:58:36.340 Which is why this whole thing, mainstream media is unfairly attacking us.
00:58:41.620 Like, yeah, of course they are.
00:58:43.200 What do you?
00:58:43.440 I've long been at the point where my answer to that is, okay, so what do you want me to be outraged by that?
00:58:53.740 I mean, this is part of the, it's like being outraged by oxygen.
00:58:57.460 It's part of the atmosphere.
00:58:58.780 What do you expect?
00:59:01.820 So I'm going to be more pissed off at you for playing right into their hands or giving them something easy to hit you with.
00:59:09.620 And that's what's happening.
00:59:13.680 America's approaching its 250th birthday.
00:59:15.760 It should be a time of celebration.
00:59:16.740 But you know that only 41% of Gen Z say they're proud to be American.
00:59:21.420 Why is that number not 100% as it should be?
00:59:23.720 We need to fix that and fast.
00:59:25.440 And thankfully, there is no organization better positioned to educate young people about the true history of this country than PragerU.
00:59:31.980 For years, young Americans have been fed a steady diet of misinformation, taught to believe this country is racist, sexist, bigoted.
00:59:38.760 PragerU is correcting the record.
00:59:40.580 They tell the whole story, the good and the bad, but always with accuracy and appreciation for the patriots who sacrificed everything to create the greatest country in human history.
00:59:48.520 Through powerful storytelling, engaging videos, and family-friendly resources, PragerU is reaching the next generation.
00:59:54.640 Millions of young people are finally hearing a message that inspires pride, not shame.
00:59:59.160 And here's something you need to know.
01:00:01.040 While plenty of nonprofits line up for government money, PragerU refused it, even when partnering with the White House.
01:00:06.300 They won't let the government fund their message, and that's why they rely on patriotic Americans like you.
01:00:11.300 I've worked with PragerU.
01:00:12.340 I've seen what they do.
01:00:13.480 If we're going to win the fight for the next generation, we need PragerU well-funded.
01:00:17.220 Right now, every dollar you give PragerU will be triple-matched.
01:00:20.640 That means every dollar you give will have three times the impact.
01:00:23.540 Go to PragerU.com slash DW during the triple-match and make your gift today.
01:00:28.580 That's PragerU.com slash Walsh.
01:00:31.660 Daily Wire reports the House on Wednesday approved a bill that would prohibit doctors across the country from performing transgender surgeries on minors
01:00:38.480 or giving gender-confused kids puberty blockers or cross-sex hormones.
01:00:41.240 The legislation introduced by outgoing representative Marjorie Taylor Greene passed 216 to 211.
01:00:48.820 Under Greene's proposal, doctors who provide transgender procedures to children could face steep fines or up to 10 years in prison.
01:00:56.000 And there were a few Democrats, I think like three or four, that voted for this, maybe fewer, and then a few Republicans who voted against it.
01:01:04.040 And so, great news overall.
01:01:08.060 Shouldn't have taken, should not have taken a year to get done, but we're not going to harp on that.
01:01:11.500 It's done, but it's not done.
01:01:12.860 I mean, now it's passed the House, but that's a huge step.
01:01:16.840 And the fact that almost every Democrat voted against it, voted in favor of child mutilation,
01:01:20.900 should be an eternal shame for them if they were capable of shame, which they aren't.
01:01:25.820 And speaking of shameless, quote-unquote trans representative, quote-unquote Sarah McBride, was not happy about this.
01:01:35.220 And here's what he had to say.
01:01:37.500 I get it's hard to understand what it feels like to be trans.
01:01:41.920 I get that it is hard to understand what it feels like to be me.
01:01:47.020 I get that it's hard to understand this care and understand the need for it.
01:01:51.040 But one of the things that gets so lost in this conversation is that the transgender adults of today were kids once.
01:02:03.920 I was a kid once.
01:02:06.800 I didn't have the courage to come out until I was 21.
01:02:11.700 But it's a fact I have known about myself for my entire life.
01:02:15.700 I didn't have the courage to come out until I was 21, and that means 21 years of pain.
01:02:23.520 21 years of unwavering homesickness that only went away when I was able to get the care that I needed.
01:02:32.920 And my biggest regret in life is that I never had a childhood without that pain.
01:02:41.260 I marvel at the courage of transgender young people today who are sharing themselves with their families and this world,
01:02:51.280 despite the toxicity and the hate that too often emanates from the building behind me and from politicians within it.
01:03:00.620 All any of us want is to live a life of purpose and happiness and wholeness.
01:03:06.840 None of us know how long we have.
01:03:10.240 None of us know how much time we have on this planet.
01:03:14.740 It is already hard enough to raise a family.
01:03:18.640 It is already hard enough to be a kid.
01:03:22.240 Yes, none of us know how long we have, so we have to butcher and mutilate children as often as we can while we're still here.
01:03:30.520 I mean, that's the argument he's making.
01:03:31.680 He just gave a YOLO argument for child castration.
01:03:37.720 It's the most perverse argument.
01:03:39.580 There's no good argument for it.
01:03:41.820 Every argument will, by its nature, be perverse because you're arguing for a perverse thing.
01:03:46.820 But of all the potential options, you only live once.
01:03:51.960 Hey, we're not here for long, man.
01:03:54.040 We only got one life.
01:03:55.120 So, you know, mutilate as many minors as you can today.
01:04:00.280 Tomorrow is not promised.
01:04:02.780 So do all the castrations you can today.
01:04:06.340 That was his impassioned plea.
01:04:09.180 And it's funny because these people are congenital liars.
01:04:14.340 They lie about everything.
01:04:15.800 They lie about the most fundamental things.
01:04:17.640 Every time McBride leaves his house, every time he introduces himself, he's lying.
01:04:21.800 So it all kind of blurs together, and I don't think he even notices the lies anymore.
01:04:27.480 But he says that he came out, came out when he was 21, which means that he spent 21 years in pain, he says.
01:04:37.280 21 years in pain.
01:04:40.900 Really?
01:04:41.600 Really, McBride?
01:04:42.820 You were, so you were in 21 years?
01:04:44.560 So you were in pain because of your gender dysphoria when you were two?
01:04:50.260 You were a toddler in diapers and yet were in a state of emotional torment because nobody recognized your true inner female self?
01:05:00.540 Is that your claim?
01:05:03.100 No, the pain he talks about is the pain of not being able to cross-dress in public and live out his fantasies in front of unsuspecting strangers.
01:05:10.080 And that is a pain that he was not experiencing when he was a child.
01:05:15.740 It's a thing that he decided that he wanted to start doing and a fantasy he decided he wanted to live out.
01:05:22.200 And regardless, notice how he, of course, does not address any of the arguments.
01:05:29.160 You know, it doesn't make the case for chemically castrating children.
01:05:33.140 There's no argument there, obviously.
01:05:34.880 That's why most Democrats are running as far away from this issue as they can.
01:05:42.280 I mean, they voted as they, as their party requires them to vote, which is in favor of butchering children.
01:05:50.900 I mean, Democrats really have never met a form of child butchery that they don't support.
01:05:57.020 They're big fans of all of it.
01:05:58.760 You know, gender mutilation procedures, abortion, eventually euthanasia.
01:06:11.580 They'll be in favor of that.
01:06:13.000 They already are in favor of that.
01:06:14.980 So, you know, they voted as their party requires them, as their ideology dictates.
01:06:20.860 But most of them are not out in front of cameras like McBride here talking about it because they, this is, this is embarrassing for them.
01:06:32.620 And they know they have no argument.
01:06:34.840 There's no argument to be made.
01:06:37.180 So this is a discussion they just don't want to have.
01:06:39.960 And all that we can, we hear from McBride is, well, you don't, you don't know what it feels like to be me.
01:06:48.480 You don't know what that feels like.
01:06:50.860 So they go right to the emotional argument.
01:06:53.680 It's all they have.
01:06:57.420 When even that, obviously.
01:06:59.280 So they don't have the facts.
01:07:00.600 They don't have common sense.
01:07:01.960 They certainly don't have the science.
01:07:03.140 They don't have any of that.
01:07:05.980 All they have are the emotional arguments.
01:07:08.000 But they don't even, they don't win the emotional argument either.
01:07:11.080 It's like any, any, any field you want to play on for this issue, you will lose.
01:07:17.720 So I don't even have to try to combat your emotions with facts and logic, although we can do that.
01:07:27.860 But you lose the emotional argument too.
01:07:30.180 Because like, oh, we don't know what it feels like to be you.
01:07:32.340 Yeah.
01:07:32.580 Well, I don't want to know.
01:07:33.540 Okay.
01:07:33.700 No one knows what it feels like to be another person.
01:07:36.020 I debt.
01:07:36.500 I've never been inside your mind.
01:07:37.800 I don't want to be there.
01:07:38.720 That seems like a, a, a horrifying place to be.
01:07:42.720 I, I would, I wouldn't want to spend one second there.
01:07:45.040 So I'll concede that.
01:07:49.280 But you don't know what it's like to be a person, an adult who, um, had this Frankenstein butchery done to them as a child and now has to live with it as a prisoner in your own body for the rest of your life.
01:08:09.400 Permanently damaged, permanently mutilated.
01:08:12.920 In many cases, not ever able to have kids.
01:08:14.940 Like some of the most basic things necessary to live a fulfilling life taken from you permanently.
01:08:22.780 And now you have to live with that.
01:08:24.280 And, and even worse, you have to live with it under the guise, the lie that it's, that it's your, it was your choice that you're living, you're living with the consequences of your own choice.
01:08:36.000 But it was never your choice because you were a child and you were not able to consent to this and it was done to you.
01:08:43.180 And so on top of all that, you're being in a, in a real sense, victim blamed.
01:08:48.280 So, uh, yeah, you don't know what that's like.
01:08:53.560 And I feel, I don't know, about a billion times more sympathy for the people in that position than I do for you.
01:09:02.900 For you when you cry about, oh, I want to be able to wear a dress in public.
01:09:07.920 Like, don't you feel so sorry for me if I can't wear a dress?
01:09:12.520 No, I don't feel sorry for you at all.
01:09:14.740 Not in the slightest bit.
01:09:19.020 Feel very sorry for all these kids that you and people like you have harmed in unspeakable ways.
01:09:26.100 So, all right.
01:09:27.580 Well, that is the, uh, that's the last show of the year.
01:09:31.400 We'll have some content for you over the next couple of weeks.
01:09:33.940 Some, uh, some original content we'll be posting.
01:09:35.820 So tune in for that.
01:09:37.400 But there won't be another show until, uh, the other side of the new year.
01:09:40.580 And it has been, uh, an awful year in many ways.
01:09:46.340 Let's, you know, a lot, a lot of good things happened, but also awful too.
01:09:49.560 It started with high hopes.
01:09:51.140 I was thinking this morning about the, um, I was thinking about the TPUSA inaugural ball in DC back in January.
01:10:00.180 And, you know, I was there and, uh, excitement, triumph, celebration, unity on the right anyway.
01:10:07.980 Um, walking around DC after the, not just even at going all the different inaugural events, usually not my, usually not my speed, not my kind of thing to go to a ball, you know, but wanted to be there for this because I knew that it was historic.
01:10:23.900 And I was glad that I went, even just walking around DC, the whole city shut down and it's nothing but conservatives there.
01:10:30.020 You know, conservatives took over DC and everywhere you walked, it was just like, it was, it was us and, uh, everybody was getting along and everybody was happy.
01:10:39.500 And you compare that to now, the entire landscape has changed and not for the better, uh, with the biggest difference, of course, being the absence of our, our leader and our friend, Charlie.
01:10:51.100 So, you know, that's, and, and, and the year kind of closes on that note, but we're coming up to a new year.
01:11:00.560 The fight continues.
01:11:02.680 I haven't given up, never will.
01:11:06.260 I can't, there's too much at stake.
01:11:09.700 And, um, and that's all there is to it.
01:11:13.860 So have a Merry Christmas.
01:11:15.420 Enjoy your time with your family.
01:11:17.840 Let's come back ready to work.
01:11:19.180 There's a lot of work to be done.
01:11:20.800 So see you next year.
01:11:22.580 Godspeed.
01:11:32.300 All of this is an illusion.
01:11:34.540 An echo of a voice that has died.
01:11:39.060 And soon that echo will cease.
01:11:40.480 Yes.
01:11:49.180 They say he was a king in Dovid, the son of a princess of lost Atlantis.
01:12:04.920 They say the future and the past are known to him.
01:12:10.740 That the fire and the wind tell him their secrets.
01:12:14.300 That the magic of the hillfolk and druids come forth at his easy command.
01:12:19.080 They say he slew hundreds, hundreds.
01:12:24.900 Do you hear?
01:12:26.040 That the world burned and trembled at his wrath.
01:12:29.060 The Merlin died long before you and I were born.
01:12:38.320 Merlin Emrys has returned to the land of the living.
01:12:44.220 Fortigan is gone.
01:12:46.000 Rome is gone.
01:12:47.880 The Saxon is here.
01:12:50.620 Saxon Hengist has assembled the greatest war host ever seen in the Island of the Mighty.
01:12:54.740 And before the summer is through, he means to take the throne.
01:12:59.700 And he will have it.
01:13:01.220 If we are too busy squabbling amongst ourselves to take up arms against him.
01:13:05.940 Here is your hope.
01:13:07.700 A king will arise to hold all Britain in his hand.
01:13:11.560 A high king.
01:13:12.720 He will be the wonder of the world.
01:13:15.660 You.
01:13:17.980 To a future of peace.
01:13:20.340 There will be no peace in these lands till we are all dust.
01:13:26.160 Men of the Island of the Mighty.
01:13:29.040 You stand together.
01:13:31.500 You stand as Britons.
01:13:34.500 You stand as one.
01:13:35.980 The great darkness is falling upon this land.
01:13:42.680 These brothers are our only hope to stand against it.
01:13:47.020 Not our only hope.
01:13:48.480 They say Merthen slew 17 men with his own hands.
01:13:54.020 And Gathay, he slew 500.
01:13:58.060 No man is capable of such a thing.
01:14:01.040 No mortal man.
