Today on the Matt Wall Show, a left-wing agitator is killed by ICE agents while trying to run
00:00:04.480
one of them over with her car. Now, Democrat officials are, of course, doing everything
00:00:07.600
they can to turn this into another George Floyd moment. We'll talk about it. Also,
00:00:11.520
Mamdani's communist housing official, who considers private property rights to be a
00:00:15.780
white supremacist conspiracy, runs away crying when she's asked about it. And Donald Trump
00:00:20.420
says that he will ban corporations from buying up housing units. Is this an attack on the free
00:00:25.620
markets or a way to protect the free markets? We'll talk about all that and more today on
00:00:29.820
Whether we realize it or not, we all have a tendency to assume
00:00:58.620
that nothing ever happens. That's the Zoomer way of referring to a well-known phenomenon called
00:01:03.480
normalcy bias. Essentially, most people generally believe that life as we know it will continue in
00:01:09.760
more or less the same way for the rest of our lives. We'll learn about major civilization-defining
00:01:15.100
events in world history, like World War I or the Revolutionary War. And we'll assume that,
00:01:20.360
well, history is history. Those kinds of events simply don't happen anymore. Nothing ever happens,
00:01:25.240
as the saying goes. The idea of a new civil war or a new world war seems too distant,
00:01:31.260
too implausible to consider very seriously. Seriously, we're simply too advanced for, you know,
00:01:36.880
that kind of thing these days. But the funny thing about World War I and the Revolutionary War
00:01:42.460
and most other conflicts throughout history is that at one point, they also seemed unthinkable. In fact,
00:01:49.140
in 1909, somebody named Norman Engel wrote a book called The Great Illusion. And the premise of the
00:01:55.380
book, which became an international bestseller, gained a massive following on college campuses,
00:01:59.800
was that war was a thing of the past. Countries that were economically connected, he argued, would
00:02:06.880
never fight major conflicts with one another because they had too much to lose. You know, at the time,
00:02:12.940
everybody thought that the book made a really compelling point. Nobody took issue with it.
00:02:17.740
War had been solved. And then five years later, tens of millions of people died. And then World War II,
00:02:22.940
and in fact, the 20th century became the most war-torn century in the history of human civilization.
00:02:30.180
Now, I begin with this context because we're now trending very clearly towards a particularly brutal
00:02:35.720
war that seemed unthinkable until recently. It's increasingly evident that millions of people
00:02:41.980
living in this country are so committed to an explicitly anti-American post-national ideology
00:02:47.780
that they cannot be reasoned with. Video evidence means nothing to them. They're not interested in
00:02:54.120
logic or laws or decency. And in some cases, they don't even care about self-preservation.
00:03:01.280
Their primary belief system revolves around a mixture of nihilism, irony, ghoulishness,
00:03:07.620
and intense jealousy and insecurity. And these millions of people are well-represented in government.
00:03:14.960
They're represented by politicians who are now openly threatening that they will start a new civil war
00:03:20.600
over the fact that the Trump administration is enforcing immigration laws that were passed in a free and open
00:03:27.060
democratic fashion. And those politicians include Tim Walz, who's obviously eager to distract from his
00:03:33.280
involvement in a generational scheme to defraud taxpayers out of hundreds of millions of dollars.
00:03:39.660
Now, in a moment, we'll get into the specifics of the shooting involving the ICE officer and the
00:03:45.440
professional agitator who tried to run him over. We will demonstrate beyond any doubt whatsoever
00:03:50.520
that the ICE officer was fully justified in shooting and killing this woman. But it's important at the
00:03:57.680
outset to reject the framing that the left and much of the corporate press is attempting to establish
00:04:03.420
here. So let me say it outright. Even if all of their lies were true, which they aren't,
00:04:10.220
even if an ICE officer had somehow decided one day for no reason to brutally murder somebody on camera,
00:04:19.060
there would still be no justifiable reason whatsoever for politicians to talk the way they're talking now
00:04:27.120
in the Democrat Party from Minnesota to Washington. There would be no justifiable reason to foment an
00:04:34.620
insurrection against the United States of America in response to something like that. There'd be no
00:04:42.800
reason for a politician like Tim Walz to imply that his state is now at war with the federal government
00:04:48.100
and to suggest, as he did yesterday, that the National Guard might be ordered to defy or even attack
00:04:58.560
Look, I don't know, I don't think any governor in history has had to fight a war against the federal government
00:05:04.420
every single day. Well, I said this yesterday, we've never been at war with our federal government.
00:05:09.260
Order to prepare the Minnesota National Guard. We have soldiers in training and prepared to be deployed if necessary.
00:05:14.560
I remind you, a warning order is a heads up for folks. And these National Guard troops are our National Guard troops.
00:05:23.120
They're teachers in your community. They're business owners. They're construction professionals.
00:05:28.100
They are Minnesotans. Minnesota will not allow our community to be used as a prop in a national political fight.
00:05:34.460
We will not take the bait. We will continue to update you, Minnesota, as we get more information.
00:05:42.920
By the way, just a quick historical note, he said that no governor in history has fought a war against the federal government.
00:05:49.520
What? The Civil War? Have you heard of that? That's...
00:05:59.040
So, what does it take for the DOJ to haul this guy away in handcuffs?
00:06:08.980
One of the most crooked and corrupt public officials we've seen in modern American history.
00:06:17.720
I mean, fresh off of scamming the taxpayer, he's now declaring war against the United States government.
00:06:26.740
Okay, he should be frog-marched in shackles in front of cameras.
00:06:32.800
He should be looking at charges for insurrection and treason.
00:06:36.920
There's no need to read between the lines here. The implication is obvious.
00:06:40.640
Tim Walz is deliberately laying the groundwork for a scenario in which the Minnesota National Guard
00:06:52.180
But Tim Walz understands that, in general, when you put the National Guard on the street...
00:06:56.740
...and order them to undermine ICE in defiance of the Constitution...
00:07:00.340
...then the likelihood of a catastrophic incident...
00:07:12.120
The strategy Will Walz is using is very familiar to left-wing terrorists.
00:07:17.800
...was stalking ICE agents yesterday and blocking their vehicles by stopping in the middle of the road...
00:07:26.560
She wanted her partner, quote-unquote, or whoever it was, to film everything.
00:07:32.320
She was desperately trying to get a reaction out of ICE...
00:07:35.080
...so that she could present them as fascists and upload the footage all over the Internet.
00:07:39.780
There's no other reason why you would park your car perpendicular in the middle of the road.
00:07:48.100
Usually they stand in front of ICE vehicles and try to block their access to detention facilities.
00:07:53.780
Walz is applying this strategy on a much broader scale.
00:07:56.080
He's being transparently phony about his motivations.
00:07:58.940
When he praises the National Guard in that clip...
00:08:05.000
As Mike Cernovich pointed out during the BLM riots...
00:08:07.200
...which Democrats, of course, encouraged and endorsed and facilitated and funded...
00:08:11.200
Walz openly mocked the Minnesota National Guard...
00:08:25.400
I think the mayor said I request the National Guard.
00:08:30.600
No, you're going to have 19-year-olds who are cooks.
00:08:33.480
Walz's views of the Minnesota National Guard haven't changed.
00:08:37.340
What's changed is that in 2026, he's hoping that one of these National Guardsmen...
00:08:42.900
...who he says he thinks are not well-trained and not reliable...
00:08:48.340
...he hopes that one of them will take a shot at an ICE agent...
00:08:52.060
...or try to run one over or something along those lines.
00:08:55.300
And that would enable Democrats to launch a domestic color revolution...
00:08:58.760
...on an even greater scale than what we saw in 2020.
00:09:04.240
If an ICE officer had been murdered yesterday, every single one of these people...
00:09:10.820
Just as they celebrated the assassination of the healthcare CEO...
00:09:15.720
...the multiple assassination attempts on Trump.
00:09:18.280
They're not remotely upset that this person died.
00:09:23.220
They think they can use her death for their own political gain.
00:09:25.680
And they're not going to stop with this one lesbian agitator...
00:09:31.240
...to make her sound like a UN monitor in some third world war zone.
00:09:37.020
But she wasn't a legal observer, whatever the hell that is.
00:09:45.160
They clearly wanted her out of there because she was the main car leading the protest is my understanding.
00:09:54.520
I talked to another guy who was driving behind her.
00:09:58.200
But she was very successful in blocking traffic.
00:10:07.760
And so they wanted to get her the hell out of there.
00:10:12.740
So it looked like she was impeding ICE vehicles.
00:10:27.380
This was not someone dropping her child off at school.
00:10:30.120
She was trying to stage an illegal blockade of the road to interfere with ICE agents.
00:10:43.280
I know this comes as a shock to left-wing activists who just do whatever the hell they want all the time.
00:11:04.400
Not only are you not allowed to do that, that's a serious crime.
00:11:13.860
Doesn't matter if there are federal agents trying to enforce federal laws.
00:11:18.000
There could be an ambulance with someone in a medical emergency.
00:11:23.320
Because I want to, I'm going to block the road.
00:11:31.220
Which, of course, because you're committing a serious crime.
00:11:34.660
And then she rammed her car into one of them when they attempted to apprehend her.
00:11:39.800
Now, by now, you've probably seen many different angles of the shooting on Wednesday.
00:11:42.880
We'll start with the first clip that everybody saw, which isn't really remarkable because of the shooting.
00:11:46.800
But because of how utterly and completely annoying all of the bystanders are.
00:11:50.640
I mean, Reddit must have been having some kind of convention on the sidewalk during the shooting.
00:12:37.780
so they're hounding the ice agents the whole time they're spitting on them and then they
00:12:44.580
after the woman is shot while driving directly at an ice officer some guy shouts dude you did a
00:12:49.900
murder yes dude you did a murder that's how these imbeciles speak not even capable of sounding like
00:13:00.200
normal people they've spent so much time online racking up tons of reddit points they might as
00:13:06.040
well be speaking a different language at this point and they're doing all this supposedly to
00:13:09.040
protect foreigners who are breaking our laws and in many cases stealing our money i mean they're
00:13:14.580
doing all this specifically in minnesota to protect somali scammers okay this is all this woman gave
00:13:20.500
her life in the commission of a crime to protect 68 iq somali scammers who by the way couldn't give
00:13:30.320
less of a damn about her you notice when you see all these like protests now and riots and the vigils
00:13:38.220
and everything you notice how the somali community is not showing up in mass you notice how they're
00:13:43.320
not showing up you know why because they don't care they don't care at all all of you idiots that
00:13:51.360
are flooding the streets to protect scam artists who are stealing money from you um yeah the somali
00:14:00.520
community they're not even gonna say thank you they won't even show up at your candlelight vigil guess
00:14:05.120
what because they don't care in any event very quickly more videos came out which made it even
00:14:13.500
more clear that this was self-defense and this one shot by someone on the scene and put in sloma by
00:14:19.260
colin wright is one of the most one of the best ways to visualize what happened and you can see it here
00:14:24.460
we'll put it up on the screen and as colin points out quote the car is in drive and the woman steps on the
00:14:31.440
gas while the wheels are turned to the left and you can see right there yep there it is going right
00:14:38.900
at the guy um because the ground is frozen the tires have no traction they spin in place had there
00:14:45.980
been no ice the car very likely would have head-on struck the officer standing in front of the vehicle
00:14:51.220
as colin wright's description which is true and indeed from another angle you can clearly see that
00:14:56.100
the car did in fact strike the officer in a glancing blow that physically moves his body
00:15:00.960
and we'll show that angle here now and keep in mind as you watch this footage that we're only seeing
00:15:07.240
it because of x i mean if it weren't for x this would be another michael brown hands up don't shoot
00:15:11.540
type of thing it would be another george floyd which it might be i mean they're trying to turn it
00:15:15.720
into that but it'd be yet another case where a mob forms around the body concocts a false narrative
00:15:21.000
and burns down entire cities and to the extent that we may be able to pull back from the brink here
00:15:26.260
which remains to be seen it's because the public if they know where to look has access to this footage
00:15:33.400
and they can share it without getting banned for spreading russian disinformation or whatever
00:15:39.080
now to be clear under the law as well as common sense law enforcement officers have every right to
00:15:46.240
shoot and kill you if you ignore their orders to stop and drive a two-ton automobile towards them
00:15:52.080
you know when officers don't react with lethal force in this scenario
00:15:57.920
they often end up like this watch turn off the car no
00:16:22.300
now just the past year there have been more than a hundred incidents where criminals and vehicles
00:16:39.180
have targeted ice and border patrol agents a few months ago in chicago an ice officer was dragged
00:16:43.900
under a vehicle in december two ice agents were hit by a car um you know it's becoming a major problem
00:16:49.580
for law enforcement this is why if you drive a car towards a police officer you get shot
00:16:56.860
and it's nobody's fault but your own and it's why in general it's a bad idea to disobey law
00:17:01.900
enforcement officers when you disregard the law and behave as if the rules don't apply to you
00:17:07.660
then you run a very significant risk that one day you will pay very severe punishment for doing so
00:17:14.060
now you get the sense that for many of these left-wing terrorists they've never suffered real
00:17:20.220
consequences for their crimes at any point in their lives and as a result they're emboldened they
00:17:25.660
think that because they've run 20 red lights with no issue therefore there's no harm in running one
00:17:30.220
more red light like that's the kind of mentality even though what they're doing is a lot worse than
00:17:34.460
running red lights eventually though they inevitably learn the hard way that indeed
00:17:38.620
you know there's very good reason to stop at red lights and if anything that's an argument for
00:17:44.700
dramatically scaling up the punishments that these agitators face don't let them block another ice
00:17:51.660
vehicle or spit on another ice officer without going to federal prison
00:17:58.220
these people can't be coddled anymore and by the way if you care about them and preserving their own lives
00:18:03.500
uh that's also best for them to suffer severe consequences and if they suffer those consequences
00:18:13.500
now maybe they'll be spared the fatal consequence down the line when they finally cross the line
00:18:19.740
and emphasize that point a demented woman posted this video to social media after the shooting in
00:18:23.980
which she laments the fact that she may not be able to uh terrorize ice agents anymore watch
00:18:30.780
this was not self-defense this was an execution i am shocked because
00:18:42.300
only a few weeks ago i was driving around this town that i live in in charlotte doing very similar
00:18:50.140
things looking for ice agents trying to prevent them from kidnapping people off the street
00:18:56.460
and there was a lot of other people out there doing that on a daily basis as is our right to drive
00:19:05.500
around the streets of our city it's frightening right now please be peaceful in your protests
00:19:14.700
and don't give them any excuse because it doesn't look like they need any right now
00:19:20.220
i cannot believe that they just took this woman's life a u.s citizen for no reason
00:19:28.140
now as difficult as it may be to watch this woman humiliate herself there's an important lesson
00:19:31.980
here you know terrorists on the left particularly the the women are not going to stop committing acts
00:19:38.460
of terrorism unless they know they will face serious consequences if they do so
00:19:42.300
you know i could sit here at a rational level explain to this woman that she does not actually
00:19:47.340
have the right to drive around her city with the intention of disrupting ice operations and harassing
00:19:51.340
ice officers they actually don't have that right but she wouldn't understand it what she does
00:19:57.740
understand is that she doesn't want to get arrested she doesn't want to get shot she doesn't want to be
00:20:05.420
these people again are coddled living lives of luxury and they go out and it's all a game to them
00:20:14.700
they go out because they're bored and they get to feel like they're freedom fighters or whatever
00:20:21.180
and then they go home to their to their to their houses and they eat dinner and it's like it never happened
00:20:27.180
so the the only way to get through to them is with severe punishment that's the only message that
00:20:35.660
works and the same is true for democrat politicians who have avoided any kind of consequence for their
00:20:41.500
criminal behavior for far too long jacob fry the mayor of minneapolis who speaks somali and cries like
00:20:47.900
a girl when he's reminded of all the bad checks that george floyd used to pass while he was high on fentanyl
00:20:52.860
did everything he could to stoke the riots that burned his city in 2020 and
00:21:07.180
there were dozens if not hundreds of ice and federal officers that were there at the time
00:21:15.980
having them there was only causing more chaos having them there was only making a difficult
00:21:21.420
situation even more problematic and one that yes they created themselves
00:21:29.900
there's little i can say again that'll make this situation better but i do have a message
00:21:35.900
for our community for our city and i have a message for ice to ice get the out of minneapolis
00:21:45.980
this guy is just a vile parasite he's one of the most
00:21:53.260
evil one of the most incompetent officials in american history and the trump administration should
00:21:59.180
finally just cuff this guy and throw him in prison for inciting insurrection which is what he's been
00:22:04.060
doing for five years now this communist scumbag a big tough guy saying to ice get the out of
00:22:14.540
our city how about you get the out of america how about that that's that's the message from americans to
00:22:19.740
you jacob fry how about you get the out of our country
00:22:27.660
and if you're here you should be in a cell next to tim walls
00:22:36.700
as a mayor you don't get to tell federal agents what to do you don't get to declare your
00:22:41.340
independence from the united states government which is what jacob fry is now doing and if you're
00:22:46.060
going to continue to do so if you're going to encourage acts of rebellion and terrorism
00:22:49.740
then you should be treated like an enemy combatant
00:22:55.820
that's the only way to respond now okay there's there's there is no way out but through at this
00:23:01.180
point until a crackdown takes place along these lines we're going to continue seeing anti-american
00:23:07.580
terrorists in minnesota all over the country torching our flag calling for the murder of ice
00:23:11.900
agents advocating for you know rebellion against uh against the country it's going to continue
00:23:18.380
now on wednesday at the direction of uh tim walls and the rest of the democratic establishment
00:23:22.780
right rioters gathered from new york to seattle to do exactly that they didn't engage in peaceful
00:23:28.220
protest or lawful first amendment speech they called for mass murder they threatened law enforcement
00:23:33.900
officials they defied the rule of law and they're not doing so because the lesbian agitator was shot to
00:23:41.020
death in minnesota they're doing it precisely because it's rare to see ice respond with lawful and
00:23:47.740
appropriate force when they're threatened that's the lesson the trump administration should draw from
00:23:53.340
the left's response to yesterday's shooting these terrorists are panicking and writhing because they
00:24:00.140
never expected and aren't equipped to handle serious consequences for their actions
00:24:08.220
the lesbian agitators never expected to face the music and if we want to keep our country intact
00:24:14.780
government which isn't remotely guaranteed at this point then many more terrorists to include tim walls
00:24:20.300
and jacob fry must face the just and legal consequences for their actions now let's get to our five headlines
00:24:35.900
so we discussed at the start of the week the esteemed sia weaver of housing official
00:24:40.380
among donny's administration who believes that private property should be abolished especially for white
00:24:44.220
people and private property is a white supremacist conspiracy theory or conspiracy she she says those
00:24:52.860
are her stated beliefs well the daily mail caught up with this woman and specifically to ask her about
00:24:58.140
some interesting details about her family and in light of in light of her stated beliefs some details about
00:25:05.500
her family are pretty interesting and it didn't go well it didn't go well for ceo weaver it was i mean
00:25:10.860
pretty great for the rest of us but here's the daily mail report awoke aid to new york city's new
00:25:15.260
socialist mayor burst out crying when confronted over the assertion that it's racist for white people
00:25:20.940
to own homes despite her own mother owning a 1.4 million dollar craftsman house weaver who runs
00:25:28.220
mayor's or mamdani's office to protect tenants was overcome with emotion when confronted outside
00:25:32.300
her apartment in brooklyn on wednesday morning the 37 year old began running down the street
00:25:38.700
after seeing a daily mail reporter outside her home and then said no through tears when asked if she
00:25:43.500
wanted to comment on her professor mother celia applegate's ownership of the 1.4 million dollar
00:25:58.940
the sadly there's no and i was skimming through this article in hopes of finding it but sadly there's no
00:26:06.620
video of this outburst i guess there's pictures of the daily mail got photos but as far as i know
00:26:13.020
there's no a video of this happening so we have the photographic evidence but we don't get the video
00:26:17.660
which is unfortunate um we don't get to see this woman sprinting down the street crying
00:26:24.940
saying no after she was asked a basic question this is a public official by the way just to remind you
00:26:30.300
have we ever seen this from a public official before have we ever seen that have we ever seen
00:26:37.660
someone in public office or holding some kind of official position run away in tears shouting no
00:26:45.980
when asked the question by a reporter this feels like a first uh so see a weaver is she's making
00:26:54.940
history she's breaking the glass ceiling here this is one glass ceiling that she has uh that she has
00:26:59.340
definitely broken now you know when we talked about weaver earlier in the week i said that
00:27:06.700
these uh liberal women these these communists like weaver always have this kind of sing-songy
00:27:12.300
corporate tone they they speak with the tone of an hr executive everything is very sanitized
00:27:19.900
everything is very corporate she talked about remember kicking people out of their homes but the phrase
00:27:25.580
she used she said that um well when you kick someone out of your home you're giving them a
00:27:32.460
a different relationship with private property which of course it's like taking somebody up the gallows
00:27:37.740
to the guillotine and saying that you're going to give them a different relationship with their own
00:27:41.340
head i mean that's that's basically what it is and and that's how they sound and and yet in reality
00:27:47.900
these are ruthless tyrants these are evil psychotic vultures who will eat you alive
00:27:56.060
i mean they will cut you open and rip your guts out they have no soul they have no compassion they
00:28:02.620
have no empathy these are these are sharks you know how a shark's eye is like black and empty and
00:28:11.500
full of malice well it's the same thing when you look into the eyes of a woman like this this is
00:28:17.980
like terrifying blank stare there's just there's nothing inside there no heart no soul but then on
00:28:25.500
the other hand these people are also absolute weaklings they're sensitive they're scared they're weak
00:28:32.780
they're pathetic they're cowardly weaver is a is a is a scared little girl running away in tears
00:28:38.780
running away in tears to go to go cry in the bathroom she's going to go lock herself in the
00:28:45.420
bathroom and cry because of the slightest bit of pushback so all these things are true they try to
00:28:54.540
present as inoffensive and sort of corporate drones in their souls they are evil and full of wrath and
00:29:01.740
hate they delight in the suffering of those that they deem to be their enemies and they are scared
00:29:08.380
cowardly pathetic little nothings and meanwhile to top off the list of contradictions while they
00:29:15.740
rail against white supremacy they all live in gentrified neighborhoods obviously they all live
00:29:20.380
in craftsmen homes you know with their built-in bookcases and their and their exposed beams and all
00:29:26.540
that kind of stuff and they're nice countertops renovated bathrooms and then they go they go to coffee
00:29:35.340
shops and order twelve dollar lattes while they lament the evils of whiteness so it's nothing but
00:29:40.460
contradiction there's no authenticity inside these people at all you dig down to the core of somebody
00:29:46.220
like this and you'll find there's just nothing there there's no core all that lies at the bottom is
00:29:51.020
hate and fear they don't have any kind of real personality they don't even have any real beliefs
00:29:56.620
except for a desire for power and uh that's what the sea of weavers of the world are now earlier in
00:30:05.580
the week she did do an interview apparently that was supposed to be her cleanup operation i guess she
00:30:11.500
did one interview one official interview with spectrum news and this is what her team had selected as
00:30:19.100
okay we're going to deal with this controversy over the past remarks we're going to deal with it one
00:30:23.740
time that's what they hoped and uh little did she know that she would then be asked by a daily mail
00:30:29.660
reporter and she panicked and cried but um here's how it went in the interview listen
00:30:36.220
the former mayor eric adams said that you were quote out of your effing mind that was in response
00:30:40.860
to a resurfaced tweet from way back when of something you'd said on twitter about home ownership being a
00:30:46.380
tool of white supremacy i wanted to give you a chance to respond you're not you're not out of your mind
00:30:50.860
right i i don't think i'm out of my mind um you know i think that some of some of those things are
00:30:55.980
certainly not how i would how i would say things today and are and are regretful um but you know i
00:31:01.020
do think my sort of decades of experience fighting for more affordable housing sort of stands on its
00:31:05.260
own i'm proud to be in this role fighting for stronger tenants rights and i think that for many
00:31:09.500
years people have been locked out of the property market that has produced a lot of systemic and racial
00:31:13.820
inequalities in our system and um i want to make sure that everybody has a safe and affordable place to
00:31:19.420
live whether they rent or own and that is something that i'm laser focused on in this new role
00:31:25.340
now i admit that this is kind of a petty complaint it's sort of a pet peeve but i hate how these educated
00:31:29.980
white women and it is i mean it is from what i can tell this is a specific to college educated white
00:31:40.540
women to a lesser extent college educated white men but how they all use the phrase sort of
00:31:45.740
i don't know if anyone this is a very specific it's very very uh specific pet peeve of mine
00:31:53.900
but now that if you haven't noticed and now that pointed out you'll hear you'll hear it every time
00:31:58.140
so she says you know my my sort of decades of experience sort of fighting for affordable housing
00:32:04.060
sort of stands on its own i don't know what that is i don't have a theory for what that is or why they
00:32:09.340
do it i don't know what the sort of thing is but i know that white women with college degrees do this
00:32:14.380
for some reason sort of is their verbal crutch i don't know and i find it annoying i find it i find
00:32:20.460
it sort of annoying i sort of listen to them sort of using the phrase sort of and uh i i sort of i
00:32:27.580
sort of want these sort of pretentious assholes to just sort sort sort of shut up and
00:32:35.900
yeah i guess it's all it's all it's i guess i could there is a you can see why actually this is
00:32:41.100
their verbal crutch it's all it's all it's all part of the corporate thing it's all it's like the
00:32:44.700
the up talking thing where uh every sentence sounds like a question it's all part of that
00:32:51.020
to make everything sound more sanitized everything sound less sort of uh now i'm doing it make
00:32:56.620
everything sound less declarative less aggressive even though what they're saying is horrible anyway
00:33:02.780
uh you notice how she doesn't retract or walk back anything she said she doesn't repudiate
00:33:09.500
or disavow the idea that home ownership is white supremacy she only says that it's not how she
00:33:16.460
would phrase it today you notice that that's her response that that is the response that her team
00:33:22.140
the one time they thought they would have to respond to it because they figure the media is
00:33:25.420
on their side like hey guys we're all on the same team and this is going to be her is their very
00:33:30.140
clever way of getting around it they're not not so clever not so subtle way say well i wouldn't that's
00:33:37.980
not how i would phrase it today okay you wouldn't phrase it that way today but do you believe that today
00:33:46.460
well of course she still does she wouldn't today in her position in government she would not come out
00:33:52.380
and say that white people shouldn't own homes and that what that private property is a white supremacist
00:33:58.620
conspiracy but she does believe that she just wouldn't say it and that's basically her answer
00:34:04.220
um although i will say that i did appreciate how she had to clarify that she's not out of her mind
00:34:13.020
like unfortunately there's no way to deny being out of your mind without sounding like you're even
00:34:16.620
more out of your mind no i'm not out of my mind the way she said it i'm not out of my mind well you're
00:34:24.620
you're totally psychotic like you're even crazier than i thought just based on the way you said that
00:34:28.220
are you worrying about those upcoming credit card bills after the holidays if you're a homeowner
00:34:33.340
there's no better time than now to call american financing and wipe out that debt eliminate the
00:34:37.980
stress and set yourself up for a strong 2026 the fed dropped rates for the fourth time in december
00:34:43.900
american financing can help you access that equity in your home at an interest rate in the low fives
00:34:49.260
it's a much lower rate than the average 20 percent or more credit card rate american financing is saving
00:34:54.220
their customers an average of 800 bucks a month that's like a ten thousand dollar raise to start
00:34:58.540
the new year there are no upfront fees and no obligation to see how much you can save and they
00:35:03.260
are closing some in as fast as 10 days and even delaying two mortgage payments american financing

00:35:18.540
the postmillennial has this president donald trump announced tuesday that he is
00:35:22.300
taking immediate steps to ban large institutional investors from purchasing additional single
00:35:28.700
family homes arguing that corporate ownership has pushed home ownership out of the reach
00:35:34.140
of um of many americans in a post shared tuesday afternoon trump said buying and owning a home was
00:35:40.780
long considered the pinnacle of the american dream but claimed that record high inflation under the
00:35:46.060
by administration and congressional democrats has made that goal increasingly unattainable particularly
00:35:51.180
for younger americans uh trump wrote for a very long time buying and owning a home has uh was
00:35:58.540
considered the pinnacle of the american dream but now because of the record high inflation caused by
00:36:02.940
joe biden democrats and congress that american dream is increasingly out of reach for far too many
00:36:07.420
people trump said he would move to prohibit large institutional investors from buying more single
00:36:12.380
family homes and urge congress to uh codify the policy into law people live in homes people live in homes
00:36:19.660
not corporations he wrote uh he said he would also discuss this announcement um in a couple of weeks
00:36:27.020
uh in greater detail so i think this is great i mean i'm i'm fully on board with this
00:36:36.220
i think this is a this is actually a major win and it's it's interesting because it's a perfect example of
00:36:42.140
why just like pure unfiltered capitalism can't be the lodestar can't be the guiding light of the conservative
00:36:52.620
movement um and that's not to say that we shouldn't be capitalist i am a capitalist we're not saying that
00:36:59.500
it's it's capitalism is vastly preferable to any other economic system that's ever been attempted
00:37:07.420
as far as i know i'm not aware of a better option that's really on the table uh but it can't be our
00:37:13.340
religion and uh it can't be the the be-all and end-all i mean that's that's kind of the point about
00:37:18.940
capitalism the the purest kind of free market position on something like this
00:37:26.540
would typically traditionally be that if investors corporations want to
00:37:36.700
right that in some ways that seems like the the purest free market position
00:37:43.340
that basically well you have the freedom to do whatever you want and if you can buy up the homes
00:37:47.180
and go ahead and do it and going to corporations and saying well yeah you have the capital to buy
00:37:53.260
up these homes you can do it but we're not going to let you do it that would typically be the kind
00:37:59.980
of thing that republicans that that would make republicans very squeamish and very uncomfortable
00:38:04.460
and i'm sure it is in this case i haven't really paid much attention to the
00:38:08.780
obviously there are other other news has kind of drowned this out so i haven't paid much attention to
00:38:12.300
the reaction from the right to this but i i imagine there are going to be plenty of people on the
00:38:16.060
right who are not comfortable with this for that reason that it doesn't it it feels like
00:38:23.900
not consistent with purest kind of free market ideals but it's obviously the right thing to do
00:38:35.260
and as trump said in his statement homes are for people not for corporations a corporation cannot
00:38:41.660
live in a home i mean a corporation can be station could have a building could have an office building
00:38:49.020
i mean they can there's valid reasons why corporations need to have physical buildings obviously
00:38:56.060
but you're not going to have a corporation moving next door right into the three-bedroom
00:39:00.860
two-bath single-family home next door and american families just looking to buy a home and participate in
00:39:07.420
the american dream shouldn't have to compete with mega corporations who are buying up homes in their
00:39:12.620
neighborhoods home ownership should be needs to be accessible to ordinary people and uh you know by
00:39:19.660
the way like there's nothing wrong with buying investment properties but there's a big difference between
00:39:24.540
because what i also don't like on the other side of this is the constant demonization of landlords which is
00:39:31.020
especially popular on the left um and you're seeing this now in new york with the rent rent talking about
00:39:38.620
rent control and all these things and the idea is that landlords are a bunch of evil sinister um
00:39:46.780
greedy capitalists and who are hiking up the prices on on rent for no reason and the only way to stop
00:39:53.020
them is to tell them they can't hike the prices up anymore um i think that's also silly but there's a big
00:39:58.300
difference between a sort of a mom and pop landlord an individual who owns a few properties in the
00:40:04.460
neighborhood where he lives or nearby big difference between that and blackstone buying up i think they
00:40:14.060
have 80 000 i think that number is correct i think they have 80 000 homes all across the country that
00:40:19.580
they've purchased and there's a big difference and the latter should not be allowed to happen in a
00:40:26.860
totally unfettered uncontrolled way it's a travesty if american if an american family
00:40:36.140
trying to buy a home and gets outbid by a billion dollar corporation it's not right you know it's not
00:40:41.900
fair it's not american and it kind of brings to mind i think it was um i'm gonna butcher it but i think it
00:40:48.620
was chesterton who said something like the problem with capitalism is when there's um
00:40:52.940
not too much capitalism but but too little or with you know when when you when you have
00:40:59.740
not too many capitalists but too few or something like that and and this is the perfect example of
00:41:03.900
that perfect illustration of the of the argument when these massive institutions buy up homes you
00:41:09.180
now have in effect fewer capitalists you have fewer people who are able to participate in the market and
00:41:16.220
um which is why you could also argue that a move like this is a not not at all a
00:41:24.060
you know in defiance of free market principles but totally consistent with them all right um finally
00:41:33.820
the daily mail has this report which i'm going to read to we're going to talk about whether you like it or
00:41:39.500
not i don't care what you think this is for your own good it's for your own good uh a shocking
00:41:47.420
admission by the cia has just reopened the mystery surrounding 3i atlas the interstellar object
00:41:53.180
speeding through our solar system although nasa has claimed the object is an ordinary comet
00:41:57.420
an icy rock with a long tail of gas and dust intelligence officials have refused to answer whether
00:42:02.700
they investigated the possibility that 3i atlas is an extraterrestrial craft uh in response to a
00:42:10.460
november 20 uh 2025 freedom of information act request this is interesting
00:42:18.540
it's like never a good sign when i have to tell you that it's interesting because you won't
00:42:21.580
but this is this is interesting be interested by it so here's what they said the cia well in fact
00:42:28.460
they didn't say anything they said that they could neither confirm nor deny the existence or
00:42:34.220
non-existence of records regarding 3i atlas the federal government had maintained that the object
00:42:41.340
showed no signs of harboring alien life or that it was artificially constructed spacecraft
00:42:45.660
since it was detected in july 2025 however the cia still decided to provide what is known as a glomar
00:42:52.300
response it's a way for the government to say we're not going to tell you if we have information or not
00:42:56.380
because even admitting that could reveal sensitive secrets so that's pretty fascinating you've got
00:43:03.340
this interstellar object uh 3i atlas is what it's called which we've been tracking on this show
00:43:12.380
uh much to the consternation of 95 of the audience mainstream scientists say that it's just a big rock
00:43:19.660
definitely not any kind of alien technology but then you have other scientists who say that
00:43:24.300
one scientist in particular who says that there are some indicators that it may be something more
00:43:30.460
than that maybe something more than a rock or a ball of ice and um now the cia is saying that they
00:43:37.900
can neither confirm nor deny that it has any records or information on the object at all
00:43:42.780
which is which is interesting because if it's just a big harmless rock millions of miles away which is
00:43:46.940
what they're saying that it is i think it's on its way to jupiter right now that doesn't pose any threat
00:43:52.380
threat to us then why would they not be able to confirm or deny i mean why why would they have
00:43:57.100
any records in the first place why why would our intelligence agencies be investigating a big rock
00:44:01.580
millions of miles away in space i can get why nasa would be but why would our why would the cia have
00:44:06.460
anything to do with it at all so that's strange and interesting at least i i i find it interesting i'm
00:44:15.020
i'm very invested in the story and i check in on uh this story like every day and meanwhile i'm so
00:44:22.220
dumb that i've been calling it 31 atlas this whole time i've been reading about this story for months
00:44:28.060
and i only realized this morning that's actually three i atlas because the i is for interstellar
00:44:33.500
because when it's written out which i've i've only read articles about it uh when it's written out it
00:44:38.780
looks like 31 not three eyes so anyway look even if this thing is just a big ball of ice and rock
00:44:45.420
it's still totally fascinating that it that it came from another solar system this thing in that case
00:44:54.140
would be billions of years old traveling here from another solar system an artifact this is an artifact
00:45:00.860
of another another world another solar system another another time there's things like millions or
00:45:07.580
billions of years old and yet most of the people i try to talk to about this don't care at all
00:45:17.420
when i go up to someone say hey have you heard about well like what do you think about 31 atlas
00:45:22.620
and then they say oh you mean 3i atlas you dumb ass and i say yeah that what do you think about it
00:45:27.660
they say i don't care that's basically how the conversation goes how could you not care that's
00:45:33.820
the sad thing about it to me and i've said this many times people these days are so disinterested
00:45:41.580
in the cosmos so shockingly to me confoundingly bored by the vast mysteries of space i will never
00:45:52.380
understand it i will never understand how you could not find it interesting but they are and and and so
00:45:59.900
much so that even if this thing was confirmed to be an alien spaceship still nobody would care
00:46:09.740
like they could somehow confirm they could pick up a radio signal from this thing saying hi we're
00:46:14.380
aliens or what i probably wouldn't say that but whatever the message would be in theory they could
00:46:20.060
pick that up and i think that still nobody would care i think it would still be me and like five other
00:46:26.620
people who care if that were to happen we have a confirmed alien spaceship in our solar system it
00:46:35.100
could be even be the message could say yeah we're aliens and we're coming to earth get ready
00:46:43.340
i could i would lead my show with it the next day at the very least and i get like 20 000 views on youtube
00:46:49.580
and all the comments would be like this is why are you boring why are you talking about this that's what
00:47:02.860
it's the cross i carry this is my great burden i can't talk about space stuff on my show without
00:47:08.300
my whole audience shrugging their shoulders and uh turning the show off like you're all doing right now
00:47:13.900
i'm just talking to myself at this point like no one is listening even the control room they've fallen
00:47:17.340
asleep there's no one is hearing anything that i'm saying at this very moment i could i could break
00:47:21.500
out into i could start yodeling i could break i could sing opera right now i could divulge my deepest darkest
00:47:32.860
but i guess i'll save that for another time anyway we will uh leave it there for the day and the week
00:47:39.900
talk to you next week have a great weekend god speed what was it like merlin to be alone with god
00:48:06.780
meridyn i knew your father i am yet convinced that he was not of this world
