From Amazon MGM Studios comes Melania. Every protocol, every precaution, every move coordinated.
00:00:06.440
This new film takes you inside the 20 days leading up to the 2025 presidential inauguration
00:00:11.480
through the eyes of the first lady herself. The briefings, the planning, the private conversations
00:00:16.560
witness what it takes to secure her return to one of the world's most powerful roles. Melania
00:00:20.780
only in theaters January 30th. Today on the Matt Wall Show, President Trump shows up at the WEF to
00:00:26.760
make world leaders uncomfortable while he openly disrespects them to their faces. It was pretty
00:00:31.400
great. Also, a Somali woman claimed she was assaulted by ICE and called the N-word. It sounds
00:00:35.540
like a terrible thing that also definitely didn't happen. And a leftist journalist attacks me for not
00:00:41.300
having a college degree. I'll explain why the glorification of college degrees is not only
00:00:45.400
wrong and dumb, but also un-American. We'll talk about all that and more today on the Matt Wall Show.
00:00:56.760
Normally, when our lizard overlords convene at the World Economic Forum in Davos every year,
00:01:21.080
you know what to expect. If a Democrat is in power, everyone gets along. They bust out the flutes and
00:01:26.840
do a little Gaia worship. They congratulate each other on another record year of mass migration,
00:01:31.960
discuss their plans to create artificial meat allergies in a lab, and spread those allergies to
00:01:37.400
millions of people via tick bites, and you know, so on. As disturbing as it may be, it's not especially
00:01:43.140
exciting to watch. And on the other hand, if Donald Trump is in the House, it's always worth tuning in
00:01:49.040
to the WEF, at least for a little bit. There are few spectacles in American political history,
00:01:54.740
quite like Trump crashing a party full of wealthy and powerful globalists who utterly despise him.
00:02:00.600
They're a captive audience. They have to listen for more than an hour as Trump treats their orthodoxy,
00:02:06.120
which they enforce in their home countries with censorship, public beatings, bank account
00:02:11.000
seizures, as a complete joke worthy of nothing but mockery. So those are the two possibilities when
00:02:16.700
you watch the WEF. You either get a boring and creepy affair or an event that's both entertaining
00:02:23.460
and extremely awkward. But this year's WEF was notable for another reason. Yes, it was entertaining,
00:02:30.560
as we'll discuss in a moment. At the same time, this year's WEF was also a clear signal that China,
00:02:36.600
easily our most advanced adversary, has installed a puppet on our largest border. And this Chinese
00:02:42.420
puppet, whose name is Mark Carney, the former Goldman Sachs banker who, with financial ties to
00:02:47.420
China, who currently serves as the prime minister of Canada, is now commencing military exercises to
00:02:53.260
prepare for armed conflict with the U.S. as he openly advertises his country as a colony of China.
00:03:00.120
The Chinese takeover of Canada at this point represents the greatest threat in our hemisphere
00:03:06.520
since the Cuban Missile Crisis. So we'll start with Carney's remarks at the WEF this week, followed by his
00:03:13.760
comments in Beijing earlier this year. It's important to see both. Watch.
00:03:19.860
We understand that this rupture calls for more than adaptation. It calls for honesty about the world as it is.
00:03:26.940
We are taking the sign out of the window. We know the old order is not coming back.
00:03:32.320
We shouldn't mourn it. Nostalgia is not a strategy. But we believe that from the fracture, we can build
00:03:44.320
Mine is the first visit of a Canadian prime minister to China in nearly a decade.
00:03:51.580
The world has changed much since that last visit.
00:04:00.500
And I believe the progress that we have made in the partnership sets us up well for the new world order.
00:04:10.860
Now, Carney says he recognizes that international law and the rules-based order are fake.
00:04:19.440
All that matters, he says, is power. And of course, that's true.
00:04:22.300
You know, the logical conclusion that he should draw is that he should immediately stop antagonizing the Trump administration
00:04:27.280
because the United States is a superpower with nuclear weapons and an actual army that shares a border with Canada.
00:04:33.840
He should immediately drop Canada's price controls on U.S. dairy imports along with all the other tariffs.
00:04:38.760
He should stop funding state media outlets that demonize the U.S.
00:04:42.920
He should speak out against the mass grave hoax that led to mass church burnings
00:04:48.100
and commit to the freedom of speech and protest in Canada.
00:04:53.040
And maybe most importantly, Carney should begin mass deportations like we're seeing in the U.S.
00:04:57.680
His country is overrun with foreigners who are destroying the job market, the housing market, every other market.
00:05:03.140
He should commit to securing Canada's border, which would in turn help secure America's border.
00:05:07.720
But instead, instead of doing any of that, Carney is apparently attempting to ally with China,
00:05:13.480
which is very far away, certainly too far away to assist in the event of a U.S. invasion of Canada.
00:05:20.160
And the Secretary General of NATO, for what it's worth, was the realist in the room.
00:05:26.480
He recognized that U.S. power is dominant and that other countries, including Canada, depend on us for security.
00:05:41.100
The U.S. is by far the most powerful nation on earth.
00:05:44.060
And the President of the United States is there for the leader of the free world.
00:05:46.640
And you cannot envision NATO without the leader of the free world being an integral part of that organization.
00:05:55.160
So why is Carney going out of his way to antagonize the United States and deny the reality of the power dynamic here,
00:06:03.880
which the Secretary General of NATO just spelled out?
00:06:08.900
Well, no one in Canada actually voted for what Carney is doing, by the way.
00:06:11.740
During the campaign, Carney's rhetoric was the exact opposite.
00:06:14.540
But less than a year ago, Carney described China as the single biggest security threat facing Canada.
00:06:26.460
I think we didn't have a chance to talk about anything internationally.
00:06:28.940
I think the biggest security threat to Canada is China.
00:06:32.900
And when he was asked to explain this about-face recently, here's what Carney said.
00:06:45.160
If you cast your mind back to April during the election campaign, I know it feels like a long time ago for me,
00:06:49.680
you told Canadians that China was the biggest security threat to this country and to Canadians.
00:06:59.240
There are a number of threats from a country you mentioned, Russia.
00:07:04.040
We have non-state actor threats, which are material.
00:07:09.420
I guess one of the advantages of having your security clearance is you're better informed about some of the threats.
00:07:15.360
And I highly recommend that anyone either in the position of responsibility or seeking it has their security clearance.
00:07:25.860
It's an extremely awkward non-answer, the kind you'd give if you wanted to hide something or had no legitimate explanation for what you were doing.
00:07:33.000
It's also an odd response because, if you notice, Carney is afraid of even mentioning the word China.
00:07:37.900
The reporter asks about China, and then Carney refers to China as the country you mentioned.
00:07:44.480
Something similar happened at the WEF the other day.
00:07:46.840
The interviewer mentions China and Russia, but Carney only addresses Russia.
00:07:51.500
President Trump says, oh, you know, Greenland's on the threat from Russia, even from China.
00:08:03.820
Russia is, without question, a threat in the Arctic.
00:08:10.200
And I'll take the opportunity to condemn their unjustified and horrific assault on Ukraine, almost at its fourth year.
00:08:21.420
They are a real threat in the Arctic, one against we need to protect, which is why we have 364 five-day air, sea, and land presence.
00:08:33.060
It's why we're adding to our submarine fleet, or adding to our air fighter fleet, why we're building out over-the-horizon radar to protect from Russian missile threats and others, and why we will work with our NATO partners.
00:08:49.240
Again, he's clearly skittish about even mentioning the word China less than a year after he labeled them the biggest threat facing his country.
00:08:58.960
Well, as it turns out, it's probably not that complicated.
00:09:02.120
A company that Carney has a massive stake in, called Brookfield, owes the state Bank of China more than a quarter billion dollars.
00:09:14.100
It's part of a deal to refinance Brookfield's properties in Shanghai.
00:09:17.760
As Yahoo Finance reported, quote, Carney's stake in Brookfield looks to be worth more than $10 million, around $3 million in Brookfield stock, and options worth about $6.8 million as of December, based on publicly available information.
00:09:30.120
It's possible that he has additional holdings in Brookfield that are not subject to disclosure because the entities are not reporting issuers.
00:09:36.340
And while Carney has put his assets in a blind trust since taking office, it's not really blind in any meaningful way.
00:09:44.100
I mean, he knows what's in the trust, and he knows exactly what would make the asset perform better, namely selling out his country to China.
00:09:51.140
Apparently, the only ethics restrictions on Carney are that, quote, he should be screened from involvement in any file directly implicating Brookfield,
00:09:58.740
including if Brookfield was competing with others for government, business, or assets.
00:10:06.340
As long as Carney isn't directly reporting, rather working, on policy relating to Brookfield,
00:10:12.020
he can sell his country out to China as much as he wants.
00:10:17.380
Now, with Carney in charge, Canada has announced that it will allow tens of thousands of Chinese-made electric vehicles to enter the auto market.
00:10:25.000
Without a doubt, that move will devastate Canada's auto industry, which is one of the few lifelines in the country's already struggling economy.
00:10:31.820
It will also hurt companies in the U.S., which have auto plants in Canada.
00:10:36.340
But Carney doesn't care because, again, he's a Chinese puppet.
00:10:39.380
He's not actually interested in representing Canadians.
00:10:42.260
Doug Ford, who runs Ontario, knows exactly what's going to happen.
00:10:45.260
So he's calling for a boycott of these Chinese vehicles.
00:10:50.300
A moment ago, you said you're discouraging Canadians from buying one of the 49,000.
00:10:54.860
Are you officially asking Canadians, Ontarians, to boycott any of the 49,000 Chinese-made EVs that come to Canada?
00:11:06.100
So you're asking them to boycott the Chinese EV vehicle support.
00:11:10.720
Support companies that are building vehicles here.
00:11:19.260
Now, for all of Doug Ford's faults, which are myriad, he doesn't sound like someone who has a massive financial stake in appeasing China.
00:11:30.760
And that's probably why Carney has also ordered the Canadian military to prepare for warfare with the U.S., a fight that, of course, would be over before it began.
00:11:40.000
This is from the Times, citing reports from Canada's Globe and Mail, quote, Canadian military chiefs have war-gamed a U.S. invasion and concluded that they'd be overpowered in two days.
00:11:51.000
Canada's resistance would rely upon insurgency tactics similar to those deployed by the Muhadine in Afghanistan in the fight against the Soviet Union.
00:12:00.140
Under the plans, which officials stressed were precautionary and hypothetical, forces would use asymmetric tactics, whereby a weaker army attempts to counter a dominant force.
00:12:10.260
Canada would rely on drone warfare, would also request assistance from European allies, namely the former imperial powers of Britain and France.
00:12:19.980
Now, first of all, the two-day estimate is obviously a little optimistic.
00:12:25.860
And that's if we stopped, you know, for like a two-hour lunch.
00:12:31.460
And lest we forget, in the late 1990s, Canada's Air Force was dispatched to shoot down a rogue weather balloon.
00:12:36.860
And several Canadian fighters fired a thousand rounds at the balloon, which had no effect, according to the BBC.
00:12:49.820
So it's safe to say Canada won't be taking out our stealth bombers anytime soon.
00:12:53.820
And secondly, the idea of a Canadian insurgency, like what you find in Afghanistan, simply doesn't work.
00:13:00.400
I mean, none of these people have guns, for one thing.
00:13:08.460
Half of them sit around all day waiting for their government pensions to vest.
00:13:14.820
They're not going to fight a sustained battle for anything other than a bong.
00:13:18.200
But that doesn't mean that we should ignore Canada, because when they align with China, they become a genuine danger.
00:13:23.820
The elites running Canada are deeply sinister people.
00:13:27.880
In case you doubted that, here's a clip from the WEF in which Justin Trudeau, the former prime minister who is now dating Katy Perry,
00:13:35.520
laughs in the face of a reporter who describes someone who died after taking the COVID shot.
00:13:41.480
Human rights of those who didn't want to get vaccinated.
00:13:49.080
Why you pushed in Canada to vaccinate the people?
00:13:56.260
Why you pushed people in Canada to vaccinate the COVID vaccine?
00:14:03.580
They want to free them and you pushed them into jail.
00:14:05.700
My old cameraman's mother actually died after complications from the COVID vaccine.
00:14:15.560
Well, by the way, there's no debate anymore, even among the alleged quote-unquote experts,
00:14:20.080
that the COVID shot can cause heart inflammation.
00:14:24.540
Stanford Medical School just published a lengthy article about this phenomenon a month ago.
00:14:29.540
Quote, vaccine-associated myocarditis occurs in about one in every 140,000 vaccines after a first dose
00:14:35.640
and rises to one in 32,000 after a second dose.
00:14:38.640
So if the inflammation is severe, the resulting heart injury can be quite debilitating,
00:14:41.600
leading to hospitalizations, ICU admissions for critically ill patients, and deaths, albeit rarely.
00:14:49.320
Well, and that's a very conservative estimate of the harms and dangers of the vaccine, of course.
00:14:55.800
But that's what Justin Trudeau was laughing about.
00:14:59.040
These are the people who claim they're following the science.
00:15:01.460
And then many years later, when the science admits that the science actually murdered your friend's mother,
00:15:08.640
At the WEF this year, these malicious freaks were met with a delegation from the Trump administration
00:15:14.200
that focused entirely on advancing the interests of Americans.
00:15:18.820
The administration's delegation didn't make overtures to foreign communists plotting our destruction.
00:15:24.640
They didn't laugh about COVID deaths or dodge questions that might upset their paymasters.
00:15:28.480
Instead, they delivered speeches like this one from Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick.
00:15:33.620
This is easily one of the most important moments in the whole event,
00:15:46.240
And the Trump administration and myself, we are here to make a very clear point.
00:15:53.000
Globalization has failed the West and the United States of America.
00:15:59.420
It is what the WEF has stood for, which is export, offshore, far shore, find the cheapest labor in the world,
00:16:18.680
And what we are here to say is that America first is a different model, one that we encourage other countries to consider,
00:16:46.740
You shouldn't offshore your entire industrial base and have it be hollowed out beneath you.
00:16:51.560
You should not be dependent for that which is fundamental to your sovereignty on any other nation.
00:16:59.460
And if you're going to be dependent on someone, it darn well better be your best allies.
00:17:12.620
I viewed the WEF as not a flagpole in the middle, but in fact, they are the flag.
00:17:27.700
Why would Europe agree to be net zero in 2030 when they don't make a battery?
00:17:38.200
So if they go 2030, they are deciding to be subservient to China who makes the batteries.
00:17:44.740
Now, as if to prove Lutnik's point, European leaders stood up at the WEF one after another
00:17:51.700
and begged China to become more involved in their countries.
00:18:01.680
But what we need is more Chinese foreign-eyed investments in Europe in some key sectors to
00:18:07.660
contribute to our growth, to transfer some technologies, and not just to export towards
00:18:13.660
Europe some devices or producers or products which sometimes don't have the same standards
00:18:20.500
or are much more subsidized as the one being produced in Europe.
00:18:24.740
Now, there's a reason that you never see Xi Jinping appear like this in public, and it's
00:18:31.580
not just because he doesn't have a boyfriend who beats him up all the time.
00:18:35.120
It's because he takes himself and his position seriously.
00:18:40.300
You know, you couldn't pay him any amount of money to go out in public looking like a character
00:18:45.860
In fact, if you try to draw a cartoon that makes Xi Jinping look like a character from
00:18:50.720
Zoolander, they'll throw you in prison and no one will ever hear from you again.
00:18:53.860
But in Europe and Canada, the humiliation rituals are a daily part of political life.
00:18:58.200
For his part, like several other past and present European leaders, Macron doesn't have
00:19:03.580
any children, so he's not concerned about the ramifications of his policies on future generations.
00:19:10.540
That's why many of these leaders are happy to beclown themselves, offer their countries
00:19:14.540
up as Chinese colonies rather than defend the interests of their own people.
00:19:20.520
They have no stake in the future of their own countries.
00:19:25.980
In his own remarks, Trump made that clear again and again.
00:19:31.620
Here in Europe, we've seen the fate that the radical left tried to impose on America.
00:19:40.160
Germany now generates 22% less electricity than it did in 2017.
00:19:53.420
But what they did before he got there, I guess that's why he got there.
00:20:02.260
The United Kingdom produces just one-third of the total energy from all sources that it
00:20:12.160
And they're sitting on top of the North Sea, one of the greatest reserves anywhere in the
00:20:18.160
Certain places in Europe are not even recognizable, frankly, anymore.
00:20:24.340
And we can argue about it, but there's no argument.
00:20:30.140
I don't want to insult anybody and say, I don't recognize it.
00:20:38.480
And I love Europe, and I want to see Europe go good.
00:20:51.320
Let's remember that, Mark, the next time you make your statements.
00:20:57.340
Now, in response to the Trump administration's remarks at the WEF, Democrats sent a handful
00:21:03.120
of speakers to make it clear that if Democrats ever return to power, they will allow the WEF
00:21:08.260
to take control over the most important institutions in the United States.
00:21:12.580
The head of the largest teachers union in the country, Randy Weingarten, outlined her plan
00:21:17.300
to allow the WEF to dictate the public school curriculum in America.
00:21:22.120
Weingarten, of course, is the same woman who kept schools closed during the COVID lockdowns
00:21:25.460
for no reason whatsoever, other than to extract more payouts for the union.
00:21:33.940
And you have to create this engagement with each other.
00:21:39.000
When you do it, in the United States of America, we have 16,000 school districts.
00:21:49.400
And you, Kiva, were the one who said, you can't keep on doing this industry by industry.
00:21:54.340
You were the one who said, you can't keep on doing this governor by governor.
00:21:58.100
How do we use the WEF to create this kind of integrated network so that we're all working
00:22:04.580
together so that kids can have, from high school on, opportunities to have jobs that pay a living
00:22:14.480
wage so that they can feed their family and nurture their family.
00:22:18.380
And that is what happens in advanced manufacturing.
00:22:21.100
So I'm honored that we are part of the creation of that curriculum.
00:22:29.480
This arrangement has been in the works for quite some time.
00:22:32.120
This is a New York Post report from last summer.
00:22:35.840
Quote, Weingarten announced a partnership with the Globalist World Economic Forum to
00:22:41.900
The union has been edging up to this alliance when its members passed a resolution this spring
00:22:46.300
calling for climate-smart and sustainable schools.
00:22:49.340
They explicitly cited the WF as part of a push to integrate the curriculum to facilitate
00:22:56.520
Weingarten would have no problem implementing this curriculum if the Democrats' most likely
00:23:00.400
candidate in 2028, Gavin Newsom, wins the election.
00:23:04.660
Newsom is also in Davos, where he's been attacking various countries, not for their fealty to China,
00:23:09.660
of course, but for not sticking up to, or standing up to Donald Trump.
00:23:20.540
I should have brought a bunch of knee pads for all the world leaders.
00:23:23.520
I mean, handing out crowns and handing out—I mean, this is pathetic.
00:23:32.700
And I hope people understand how pathetic they look on the world stage.
00:23:43.260
It's time to get serious and stop being complicit.
00:23:47.700
It's time to stand tall and firm, have a backbone.
00:23:53.520
Now, throughout the WEF, the Trump administration, along with Argentina,
00:23:58.300
has been one of the only delegations that talked exclusively about the interests of their own people instead of China's.
00:24:03.760
But Gavin Newsom isn't concerned about Canada or France bending the knee to China.
00:24:07.500
He's only concerned about how other countries, in his view, are bending the knee to Trump.
00:24:12.420
That tells you all you need to know about how Gavin Newsom will govern if he wins the presidency.
00:24:17.560
He'll do everything in his power to transform the U.S. into a ward of China, just like Canada.
00:24:22.380
In this respect, there will be total alignment among the Teachers Union, the Democrat Party, and our largest trading partner to the north.
00:24:30.840
There will be no resistance whatsoever against a full-scale Chinese takeover of this continent, an outcome that Mark Carney himself warned about less than a year ago.
00:24:39.660
To the extent that the WFEF can ever be described as worthwhile, it was worthwhile this year because it established exactly what's at stake in three years.
00:24:53.640
Or like Carney's Canada, we can surrender to a communist government that will empower the leftists who have already destroyed so much of this country.
00:26:09.420
Let's go over to Minnesota where, well, to start with, I just saw this pop up right as we were starting to film.
00:26:18.860
This Daily Wire reports federal authorities arrested two alleged agitators who participated in the anti-ice mob that stormed a church service in St. Paul, Minnesota on Sunday.
00:26:26.540
Attorney General Pambani first announced on Thursday morning that agents with the FBI and Homeland Security investigations nabbed Black Lives Matter activist Nakeema Levy Armstrong, who was accused of playing a key role in organizing the coordinated attack.
00:26:38.720
Minutes later, Bonnie said that they'd also arrested Chantille Louisa Allen, who leads Black Lives Matter Twin Cities and serves on St. Paul Public School board.
00:26:50.720
The group allegedly stormed the church service, harassed worshipers.
00:26:54.240
Since then, Trump administration officials have pledged to make arrests and use the FACE Act, which has long been weaponized against pro-lifers to prosecute the protesters, including CNN anchor Don Lemon.
00:27:04.020
And so this is, you know, hopefully just the beginning.
00:27:06.800
And as we know, Don Lemon needs to be the next to fall.
00:27:11.620
And I mean, everybody who stormed the church needs to be arrested.
00:27:14.380
And we're moving in that direction now, which is great.
00:27:17.880
And this is something that, you know, this, this I'm sure comes as an absolute shock to these people.
00:27:31.900
But these are the same people, BLM in Minnesota, the same group that stormed a police station and burned it to the ground.
00:27:49.580
This is a group that burned entire city blocks.
00:27:59.240
That they can just do whatever they want and they're not going to get in trouble.
00:28:01.080
And that's why they can, that's why they can cause play as revolutionaries.
00:28:04.380
That's why you have these middle-aged women on TikTok who are, you know, talking a big game and like pretending that they're in the Hunger Games or something, pretending that they're, or whatever.
00:28:16.320
One of the three movies that they know about or books that they know about, that they're up against Voldemort or something.
00:28:26.200
And they can play this game because to them, it is just a game.
00:28:28.540
The idea that there'll be any actual consequences is what we saw with Renee Good, who's all a game to her.
00:28:48.540
Well, what they're now discovering is that there are consequences for their actions and they were not prepared for that.
00:28:58.540
Once you start putting some consequences in place, the whole thing falls apart for them because they were not ready for this.
00:29:11.700
So the point is, these are not like the kinds of radical revolutionaries who, uh, when you arrest them, it still doesn't dissuade them because they knew that was going to happen.
00:29:26.200
And so this is exactly what they knew was going to happen.
00:29:29.620
They're doing all of this under the assumption that nothing will happen to them.
00:29:35.980
And now they're discovering that that's not the case.
00:29:40.540

CBS News reports Nasra Ahmed came to the podium in the Minnesota State Capitol press briefing room on Wednesday with bandages still on her head,
00:30:39.580
explaining it was hard to speak given the concussion that the American, quote unquote, said she sustained thanks to ICE.
00:30:54.060
Um, Nasra Ahmed says she was kidnapped by ICE, but it doesn't stop there.
00:30:59.440
They actually, uh, they assaulted her and they started yelling racial slurs at her, she says.
00:31:09.540
We're following these two men and I was waiting for these two men to hold the door for me.
00:31:13.660
And I told them, hey, hey, can you hold the door for me?
00:31:15.620
And I walked right in the middle and when I was in the middle, ICE, ICE came, they came out of their cars, they asked me to see my ID.
00:31:25.080
And while they were asking me to see the ID, they just decided it was nice to be racist and say really nasty things to me.
00:31:33.980
And, uh, yeah, that, that man, he called me, he called me the N-word and he called me that and then he arrested me.
00:31:46.420
Um, I actually got, uh, uh, scab, um, that was, uh, healing while I was in jail.
00:31:58.820
It's really hard for me to speak because of that concussion.
00:32:02.060
Um, they were just using a lot of force to, uh, arrest me and I was screaming.
00:32:13.980
I've never, I don't have like a criminal record.
00:32:19.580
It was just, and then that detainment, I was detained.
00:32:22.920
Um, I was literal cuffs to put on my legs, cuffs on my hands.
00:32:28.040
And, and I was actually detained with a native American woman and, um, I, God bless her heart.
00:32:36.200
She was also detained by ice and she was also a U S citizen and like me, and she had gashes
00:32:44.780
Uh, she had blood on her jeans, her corduroy jeans, and she was crying because she was so
00:32:51.800
I, I love how you could, you could just see her making it up as she goes along.
00:32:55.540
You think you'd at least have the story ready when you get up there at the press conference.
00:33:04.880
You could, you could see her just inventing the story as she, yeah.
00:33:10.100
So they, uh, they, uh, arrested me and then, uh, and then, yeah, I got a concussion.
00:33:17.000
So they, they, uh, they threw me, well, I fell and it went up.
00:33:20.040
I mean, they threw me and I got a concussion and then they decided that it'd be really
00:33:31.760
Uh, they said it, uh, two, well, three times, they said it like two and a half times, like
00:33:38.480
And, um, and then they, uh, and then they, they, they picked me up and they body slammed
00:33:44.860
Um, and then they, they, they, um, they actually, they, the cat, they cut my head off.
00:33:48.960
Actually, they sewed it back on and that's the other, so they, they cut it, they sewed it
00:34:02.460
It looked like, it looked like a bandaid that a cartoon character wears, you know, and they
00:34:06.520
fall over and the bump grows on their head, you know, and they, and there's stars around
00:34:12.100
Um, I guarantee you take that bandaid off and there's nothing under there.
00:34:16.460
I mean, nothing under, like nothing inside her skull either in terms of a brain, but I
00:34:20.140
mean, there's nothing, there's no, a tiny scrape at most.
00:34:23.820
And of course she has a concussion and, uh, cause having a concussion is great because it's
00:34:34.140
If, if someone, you go to the doctor and say you have concussion symptoms, then the doctor
00:34:39.100
is going to ask you your symptoms and then say, okay, well, I guess you have a concussion.
00:34:42.940
You got the symptoms, you have a concussion, right?
00:34:48.040
It's just like anytime someone gets into a fender bender, if the other person's at fault,
00:35:01.620
Um, and then she claims she was, she was called the N word, which is fascinating.
00:35:05.540
It's fascinating that these ice officers are constantly on video video, constantly being
00:35:14.880
You've got mobs of people out there filming everything that these ice officers do waiting for
00:35:20.900
That's why they're all there waiting for one of these guys to do something or say something
00:35:29.440
I mean, this, the, they're, these are what they're basically out there.
00:35:34.720
They're like the guys with the metal detectors out on the beach, you know, and all they ever
00:35:40.600
They're just waiting for that time when actually, oh, wow.
00:35:48.180
A Bigfoot hunter is out for decades in the woods looking for Bigfoot, Bigfoot.
00:35:52.580
And then one day Bigfoot just strolls by and waves hello.
00:35:59.760
And that's what it's like for these, these ice agitators.
00:36:02.500
They're waiting for someone on ice to do something racist.
00:36:04.740
And then they finally get the moment when an ice officer body slams, um, a, you know,
00:36:10.880
a black woman in a burka and calls her the N word and they didn't get it on camera.
00:36:25.700
I don't believe any part of it for even a second.
00:36:32.860
Also leftists are well known for their hoaxes as we know, and Somalis are notorious for being
00:36:50.660
It's like, what was it in Power Rangers where all the Power Rangers combined to make the big,
00:37:03.700
This is the con artist Megazord, Somali, leftist woman.
00:37:11.040
You combine all that together and you've got, I'm just kidding.
00:37:15.240
Not really, but, uh, you've got someone you just can't trust.
00:37:18.520
The American dream has always been about building something of your own, taking an idea, some
00:37:22.260
hard work and turning it into a thriving business that you can call your own.
00:37:25.940
For generations, entrepreneurship has been the cornerstone of that dream, but getting started
00:37:29.940
used to mean huge upfront costs, technical headaches, and a mountain of obstacles before
00:37:38.620
It's the tool that puts the American dream within reach for anyone ready to chase it.

00:38:34.680
Michelle Obama, speaking of con artists, is talking again.
00:38:40.760
She spends her days talking, complaining, gossiping, and doing it all on camera on her podcast
00:38:47.320
or on other people's podcasts, fighting new ways to embarrass herself and her husband.
00:38:52.160
And, uh, we have two clips here that are related, but, uh, here's the latest watch.
00:39:00.660
I was like, oh, you guys, I, all of that just disappeared in the course of this whole election.
00:39:07.260
And you now see me as just Barack Obama's wife.
00:39:11.900
So that made me say, well, that, that quickly, my shoes become the most important thing about me.
00:39:24.740
So I shied away from fashion leading the conversation, but I knew I couldn't, I didn't completely control it.
00:39:39.240
Now we'll talk about that in a moment, but in the same conversation before or after, I don't know.
00:39:43.500
She, uh, uh, she said that she had another complaint that she wanted to bring to the table, a related complaint.
00:39:53.220
But as my popularity rose, I was being covered more.
00:39:59.980
And so the press enters the scene and there are now reports.
00:40:05.300
And the first thing after all this great conversation and connection, the, the top of the article would be, she was wearing, you know, um, not my education, not my, you know, not, not my professional career.
00:40:25.100
So she's upset because when she was first lady, all anybody wanted to talk about as it pertained to her was, were her outfits and that she was Barack Obama's wife.
00:40:35.200
And now the irony here of course, is that she was on that very podcast promoting a book called the look that she's selling where it's a bunch of pictures of her wearing outfits.
00:40:47.780
So she wants to be known for more than her outfits.
00:40:51.260
And yet here she is with a book where it's just, I want to know, I want to be known for more than my clothing and to learn more about that by this book where it's all my clothing.
00:41:02.860
And, uh, so that, that doesn't make a lot of sense, but let's put the outfits to the side.
00:41:07.320
Personally, I don't think her outfits are all that impressive.
00:41:14.040
Some would say, some would say that I'm a fashion expert.
00:41:21.100
Her real complaint, one of several dozen that she has lodged publicly in just the last week is that she was known just as Barack Obama's wife.
00:41:30.560
She was his trophy wife, which makes you wonder what contest in hell did Barack Obama win to borrow a line from everybody loves Raymond.
00:41:41.240
And, uh, I, I find it very funny because first of all, you know, you're Barack Obama's wife.
00:41:49.500
Using the term wife loosely here, but let's go with it.
00:41:56.940
What other interesting facts are there about you?
00:42:02.580
She says, well, my education, I was dean of students.
00:42:08.440
I, I, I said, I went to, I took her at her word and I went to her Wikipedia.
00:42:11.780
And, uh, I said, all right, well, it sounds like she had a really fascinating life, uh, before she married.
00:42:20.420
Apparently she thinks she's a fascinating person.
00:42:25.100
Well, you got a bachelor's in sociology and you minored in African studies, of course.
00:42:30.320
And then you got an, you got an affirmative action law degree.
00:42:47.020
You're upset that people weren't talking about that.
00:43:17.460
I mean, that's maybe a surprising headline, but once you get past that, I don't know what else there is to say.
00:43:25.580
Those things are not remotely interesting or impressive.
00:43:30.320
Michelle wants everyone to talk about the facts of her life that have nothing to do with Barack.
00:43:35.800
But if we do that, then we're just not going to talk about you at all.
00:43:40.260
Because that is the one and only fact that is at all interesting.
00:43:44.560
Her life story, if Wikipedia is any guide, her life story is that she went to college.
00:43:49.640
I'll tell you the whole, I'll give you the whole spoiler alert, you know, so when the movie comes out, you're not, I'm going to ruin it for you.
00:43:55.520
But her life story is that she went to college.
00:44:13.800
Before we get to Michelle Obama as Barack Obama's wife, the prequel story is that.
00:44:21.000
And it's basically the career path of every upper class liberal woman who's ever lived.
00:44:29.820
It's the story of every upper class liberal woman of all time.
00:44:36.940
The career path of all of the least impressive humans who've ever walked the earth is Michelle Obama's career.
00:44:43.840
And then she gets married to a guy and that guy becomes president.
00:44:48.400
And yeah, looking at that biography, by far the most interesting thing is the last bit.
00:44:54.560
Where she became the wife of a guy who became president.
00:44:59.960
Like, sorry, Michelle, that's the most interesting thing about you.
00:45:02.240
To the extent that there's anything interesting, it's that you're the wife of a guy who was president.
00:45:12.160
If not for that, you would be right now working either in an HR department somewhere or in some faculty at a midsize university.
00:45:25.900
Your name, Michelle, will be in the history books.
00:45:29.460
Not, it won't, not prominently, but it will be mentioned.
00:45:32.560
And that is solely only thanks to your husband.
00:45:40.740
And you know that I'm a big proponent of marriage.
00:45:47.100
But you don't want to end up with a Michelle Obama.
00:45:51.540
And now, granted, there's little chance of that if you have eyes.
00:45:57.680
But, you know, that would give you enough incentive not to end up with a Michelle Obama.
00:46:01.760
But, I mean, even aside from that, I'm saying you don't want to end up with a woman who is resentful of your success and envious and wants to tear you down because she doesn't want you to be the star.
00:46:19.800
Like, this is the thing you hear from feminist women all the time who are married.
00:46:27.080
I don't want to be defined by my relationship to my husband or to my kids.
00:46:31.200
I don't want to be defined as a wife or a mother.
00:46:36.380
I'll tell you right now, you hear a woman who says that, run as far as you can.
00:46:42.960
You're at dinner on a first date and a woman says anything like that.
00:46:45.980
Like, yeah, you know, I want to get married one day, but I don't want to be defined by that.
00:46:49.960
Get up from the table and sprint out of the restaurant.
00:47:10.200
If you're a man who wants to achieve great things.
00:47:13.020
You cannot have a wife who undercuts, who sneers, who doubts you, who roots for you to fail.
00:47:24.220
When you get to know a lot of prominent men, successful men, you find that this kind of dynamic is common.
00:47:32.520
You know, I mean, I'm not going to say it's certainly not universal by any means, but it is common.
00:47:36.860
A lot of women, even the supposedly conservative ones, are infected with this feminist disease where, when it comes down to it, they don't want to be seen as secondary.
00:47:46.420
They don't want to be seen as mere helpmates to their husbands.
00:47:53.720
But the good news is that it's actually very easy to identify these women.
00:48:00.360
We could talk about the problem with these modern feminist type women, and we should talk about that.
00:48:07.140
But the conclusion is not, well, this is why you can't get married, because you can never, you know, you never know.
00:48:14.020
Okay, if you have any common sense, if you're a discerning person at all, it's really easy to tell.
00:48:23.400
At least that's, that's not, that's, that would be a rare case.
00:48:31.460
You know, you want a wife who roots for you, a wife who's your number one fan.
00:48:35.180
This is one of the most important and most underrated traits that a man needs in a wife.
00:48:41.720
A wife who wants to see him succeed and is proud of him and believes in him.
00:48:47.800
You want your wife to go around bragging about you.
00:48:51.300
That's how you know there's a healthy marriage.
00:48:56.740
It's not just that the spouses don't undercut each other and talk down about each other when they're not around.
00:49:02.580
I mean, obviously that's huge red flag, but even aside from that, you know, you see a woman who's like brags about her husband, almost to an annoying extent sometimes.
00:49:14.100
That's a very healthy marriage and that's what you want.
00:49:16.680
Not this Michelle Obama thing, which is the opposite.
00:49:19.840
Like when's the last time we've heard Michelle Obama brag about her incredibly successful world famous husband.
00:49:26.440
She's married to one of the most famous men who've ever lived on the planet.
00:49:38.560
I think he's going to go down as the most consequential in a bad way.
00:49:46.920
The worst president, certainly in American history to this point.
00:49:49.700
The one who has given us the worst consequences.
00:49:56.560
And yet still, even so, obviously a man of great achievement.
00:50:02.200
And when's the last time you have heard her brag about him?
00:50:07.920
Is there a single interview where Michelle Obama at any stage in her career has expressed any real pride in her husband?
00:50:14.020
Has appeared to have any real affection for him or be proud of him at all?
00:50:28.120
And again, the good news is it's pretty easy to identify.
00:50:32.580
Like I've told the origin story of my marriage plenty of times.
00:50:38.040
20 grand a year I was making, living in a small apartment.
00:50:40.360
Lying on the mattress, on the floor, listening to the domestic disputes in the apartment below me at night.
00:50:47.700
Cops show up, driving a used Hyundai Accent with a missing hubcap.
00:50:55.740
But when I would tell her about my dreams, about my goals, about everything that I wanted to do,
00:51:14.680
If I had looked at myself back then, I wouldn't have believed any of that.
00:51:23.220
And even now today, still today, if I have a win, if I achieve something, if, you know, something good happens,
00:51:29.940
everyone in our families will know about it within about five seconds
00:51:33.500
because she'll call everyone or text them and tell them very proudly.
00:51:42.220
The only resentment that my wife feels tied to my career is towards people that she thinks don't treat me fairly
00:51:53.980
There are people who have slighted me in the past and in a way that maybe I think is not the biggest deal.
00:52:11.600
A woman who will root for you, fight for you, have your back.
00:52:16.660
Just look at Michelle Obama and the way she talks about her husband and then say,
00:52:25.920
This is my blueprint, but just flip it upside down and that's what I'm looking for.
00:52:30.920
You know when you could just tell someone put real craftsmanship into a product

My wife and I have had their Signature Sheets on our bed for a while.
00:53:15.000
I was skeptical of the idea that they could get softer with every wash,
00:53:19.700
Really are phenomenal quality and comfort combined.

You got to take the softballs when you get them.
00:55:03.960
I think he's bounced around various different leftist rags.
00:55:07.620
And I think just to give you an idea of what he looks like,
00:55:10.700
because it's important to kind of put everything in perspective.
00:55:17.800
And I'm not cherry picking like an unflattering photo.
00:55:21.840
I didn't go and everybody has unflattering photos.
00:55:28.060
like his author photo on one of the sites that he wrote for.
00:55:35.860
and assume that it's a mugshot of some low-level Al-Qaeda operative
00:55:44.980
And if you do say that about Zaid, how dare you?
00:55:53.040
I'm just saying that if you say that, you shouldn't.
00:56:01.700
Constantly, like, nipping, begging for my attention.
00:56:17.780
And, of course, Nick Shirley, who gave us that great investigative report
00:56:24.920
And this person was claiming that Nick Shirley is a high school dropout.
00:56:31.420
Now, there's a community note under it saying it's not true.
00:56:39.800
I'm like, well, if he's a high school dropout, that's, wow, that's impressive.
00:56:45.520
So, I'm already impressed with Nick Shirley because he's done great work.
00:56:48.740
Now, you tell me that, well, he was a high school dropout.
00:56:57.960
And now he's, like, one of the most important investigative journalists
00:57:01.500
in the country at the age of, what, like, 22, 23?
00:57:08.300
Turns out he was not a high school dropout, so that's a lie.
00:57:13.420
And so, Zaid responds and drags me into it because he's always thinking about me.
00:57:20.720
He says, Matt Walsh constantly yells about how superior he is to the third world,
00:57:25.120
yet he never attended college or apparently has worked as anything but a guy
00:57:30.720
He should start in Avengers of undereducated, underachiever pundits.
00:57:34.880
All right, now, I want to talk about the college piece of this,
00:57:44.820
I have to take it because, first of all, he does the whole, like,
00:57:48.820
well, Matt just yells his opinions thing, calls me an underachiever.
00:57:52.320
He's going with the, you know, Matt doesn't have a real job line of attack,
00:57:59.060
And, look, I do an hour-long commentary show every day.
00:58:09.240
We've worked on getting legislation passed, policy changes, activism,
00:58:21.180
But, look, if you're a brain surgeon or something
00:58:25.900
and you want to look down on me, then I totally get it.
00:58:30.460
If you're a plumber or an electrician or something like that,
00:58:33.540
you can look at what I do and say, well, that is not as fundamentally important
00:58:38.000
to civilization, right, as what you do, which is true.
00:58:43.380
Like, if civilization falls apart and we're rebuilding it from scratch
00:58:47.200
and we start thinking about what roles do we have to fill right away
00:58:53.720
Well, if you're a plumber, electrician, a doctor, like,
00:59:00.920
We've got to get that going because we can't have a civilization without you guys.
00:59:04.700
I think what I do is that's much farther downstream, I'll fully admit.
00:59:10.220
If you're a truck driver and you say, hey, if we all stop going to work in my industry,
00:59:18.640
And if you stop going to work, you know, in the media,
00:59:28.120
But if you also work in media, which he does, then that attack just doesn't land.
00:59:35.740
There are people who can do that with me, but not you.
00:59:38.420
So this is a guy who works in media, talking down to me for being in media,
00:59:44.140
calling me an underachiever, even though I'm probably about a thousand times more successful
00:59:48.100
than he is in our shared industry, which is funny to me.
00:59:52.580
And it's also funny because the people who do this, like, well, you talk for a living,
01:00:05.820
I'm just better at it than you and more successful.
01:00:09.180
I want to talk about the college degree part of this.
01:00:11.760
And there's a whole discussion that has been sparked on social media about how this,
01:00:16.740
you know, about this now, thanks to this post from Zaid.
01:00:20.300
Mostly people just dunking on him and for good reason, but it's an important discussion.
01:00:25.780
And so Zaid says that I can't be superior to the third world and I can't be a very impressive
01:00:35.880
And this, again, something I hear all the time.
01:00:38.080
If you didn't go to college, you hear it all the time.
01:00:45.380
And leftists like to bring this up all the time, especially leftists.
01:00:49.320
My fellow media people who are on the left like to bring this up.
01:00:55.780
First, and I've seen other people point this out, so I can't get credit for this insight.
01:01:00.400
I've seen other people bringing this up and it's a great point, which is that this is
01:01:09.440
You know, this assertion that a college degree is an achievement in and of itself, along with
01:01:22.040
Like if I read that tweet and I didn't know who wrote it.
01:01:25.780
I would assume it was written by a guy with a name like Zaid, because this is a foreigner's
01:01:32.340
They come from cultures where just simply going to college and getting a piece of paper, the
01:01:46.460
People from foreign countries outside of the West, they dream not just of success, but of
01:01:52.440
And to them, the pinnacle is to get a college degree.
01:01:58.700
But the American mentality is not that, you know, the American mentality, which Zaid Jelani just
01:02:06.560
doesn't understand because he's not an American, but the American mentality has always been about
01:02:13.200
Americans admire people who go out and achieve things, create things, do things.
01:02:18.580
America has never been a culture of credentialism.
01:02:23.820
We are the inheritors of a country built by pioneers, explorers, men of action.
01:02:30.240
You know, when we think about the great men in American history, we're not thinking about
01:02:36.300
And many of the great men of American history didn't go to college.
01:02:39.580
Some of them dropped out of high school, right?
01:02:43.840
Henry Ford, Walt Disney, George Washington didn't go to college.
01:02:50.520
And in more modern times, this is especially the case, Steve Jobs was a college dropout.
01:02:54.740
A lot of the most successful businessmen in America today, Bill Gates, Zuckerberg, it's
01:03:01.340
And when you think about the successful people who did go to college, like think about Elon
01:03:04.940
The most successful, richest person in the world.
01:03:07.280
But does anyone think that, I mean, he has a bachelor's degree.
01:03:14.400
Does anyone think his bachelor's degree has anything at all to do with the fact that he
01:03:19.220
is now the richest and most successful man in the world?
01:03:22.700
No, he could have skipped college and he'd still be in the spot he is today.
01:03:27.120
And I don't think anyone would doubt, certainly I doubt, I don't think that he himself would
01:03:32.620
So this glamorization of the college degree is not only dumb, but also, and it isn't said
01:03:42.100
America is a country of underdogs and outside-the-box thinkers who choose not to follow the assigned
01:03:48.180
path, the safe path, and achieve success in spite of it or because of it.
01:03:53.160
I'm not saying it's un-American to go to college, obviously.
01:03:55.640
I'm saying it's un-American to glamorize the college degree or to denigrate someone for
01:04:00.480
not having it, especially if, in the case of Zaid, like, especially if the person you're
01:04:05.680
denigrating is by every metric more successful than you.
01:04:08.920
It is very American for a man to say, okay, here's what I want to achieve.
01:04:20.780
I'm going to do this the way that I want to do it, and if I fail, I'll fail on my own
01:04:31.640
The most American thing, you know, here's the most American thing, is to choose what
01:04:38.720
Choose what you want to do, whatever it is, and go do it and be great at it.
01:04:46.580
It's not to pursue credentials or to get into a, quote, unquote, respectable line of work
01:04:53.840
It's to pursue greatness on whatever path you choose, right?
01:05:01.000
And however you measure greatness, which does not have to have anything to do with money
01:05:05.180
You know, that's why, like, I would admire and be impressed by a great ping pong player
01:05:21.720
That's why there's a hit movie right now about a guy pursuing ping pong greatness.
01:05:25.960
There's never going to be a hit movie about a mediocre guy who gets a degree, becomes kind
01:05:29.980
of a middling doctor, not especially great, and then just, like, dies.
01:05:36.580
They want to watch Whiplash about a guy who's obsessively pursuing greatness and his goal
01:05:42.740
to become the greatest jazz drummer in history.
01:05:53.680
And if that sounds foreign to you, it's because you are foreign.
01:06:01.360
The fetishization of college degrees is very foreign-coded, very third-world-coded.
01:06:05.700
Second, on the subject of college, you know, you guys know my take on it.
01:06:13.140
I think that there are certain fields that legitimately require a college degree.
01:06:17.560
If you want to be a doctor, if you want to be a lawyer, if you want to be an engineer,
01:06:21.520
something like that, then, yeah, you need to go to college.
01:06:23.460
Although, even in that case, the impressive thing is not getting the degree.
01:06:37.720
Now, go out, take your medical degree, go get a job as a doctor, operate on a human brain successfully.
01:06:45.400
Now I look at that and say, well, that's something I could never do.
01:06:47.820
I can't even, I can't wrap my mind around that.
01:06:54.600
But the thing that's impressive, the thing that is the achievement, is the doing, the doing part,
01:07:03.760
And outside of these relatively limited number of fields, you know, a college degree
01:07:07.040
has always been a waste of time and money and is now more than ever.
01:07:17.480
On the point of college, it's moving more in my direction and away from people like Zaid.
01:07:21.860
If you want to have success in the world, you need to figure out what you're good at,
01:07:26.920
what you're passionate about, what your vocation is, and then that is what God wants you to do
01:07:34.480
with your life, and then develop the skills to succeed in that space.
01:07:39.640
And in many cases, leaving aside the professions where the degree is obviously necessary,
01:07:43.240
in many cases, going to college will not only not help you figure out your vocation and then
01:07:48.260
develop the skills necessary to pursue it, but it will interfere with that process or at best delay
01:07:55.340
it. So, you know, take the industry that both me and Zaid are in media. The only thing that matters
01:08:04.060
in this world, only thing, is whether you can create content that people find compelling.
01:08:10.480
That's it. That's what separates success from failure. And Zaid can't do that, which is why
01:08:17.780
he has a mediocre career. Nobody really cares what he has to say or knows who he is. If you find a
01:08:24.920
piece of content compelling, you never think to yourself, well, wait a minute. Did the person
01:08:29.880
who made this, did they have a college degree? Let me check his resume. All right, let me go to
01:08:36.680
LinkedIn and see what, you never do that. And it's the same way in many industries. The question is
01:08:41.180
whether you can do the thing and do it well. And if you can, no one questions it. Nobody questions
01:08:48.780
that. If you can do it and people see it and like, well, that guy's good at that. It doesn't matter
01:08:53.020
what the background is or how you do it. It's like, it doesn't matter. You can do it.
01:08:58.620
Now, one last point about this. There is an argument from the other side. There's one argument
01:09:02.480
that gives me pause and that makes me kind of slow down, slow my role a bit in my anti-college
01:09:09.360
jihad only briefly. And that's when someone says, well, yeah, you don't need college most of the
01:09:15.380
time. Yeah. Most degrees will never be used. Like most of the degrees these people get, you're never
01:09:20.220
going to use it in any way. Uh, yeah, all that's true, but education is valuable for its own sake.
01:09:27.180
And this thing where you have to use a degree in order for it to be worthwhile is kind of
01:09:32.760
materialistic and, and, um, and shallow because education is good for the soul. It makes you a
01:09:38.780
better person, makes you a smarter person. It's worth doing for its own sake. And, you know, I think
01:09:44.600
that's true. And I, I agree with that. The problem is that to begin with the education offered at many
01:09:48.580
of these institutions is bad and often just false. But even if it's not, there's plenty of institutions
01:09:53.360
that provide a good education, even if it's a good education. Well, here's the thing.
01:09:58.060
It's all backwards, right? Unless you're a trust fund kid and you're set for life
01:10:03.700
and, uh, okay, fine. But if you're not, you can't afford to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars
01:10:11.640
and four years of your life at the front end of adulthood, just learning for the sake of learning.
01:10:18.960
You can't afford to take a four year sabbatical at the age of 18 and go into three decades worth of
01:10:26.680
debt to just learn stuff for the sake of personal enrichment. I mean, that's crazy. What kind of
01:10:33.700
plan is that? Hey kid, you have no money, no job, no prospects, no idea what you want to do with your
01:10:39.580
life. So why don't you put your whole life on hold for four years, assuming it's a staggering amount
01:10:44.300
of debt, all to aimlessly acquire an education about nothing in particular for no specific purpose.
01:10:50.520
I mean, that is a crazy approach. It's crazy. It doesn't make any sense. Um, and it's also not
01:10:59.980
achieving, like, is, is it actually achieving the goal of leaving aside jobs and all the rest of it?
01:11:05.860
Is it achieving the goal of creating like generations of Americans who are really well-read and educated and
01:11:11.520
smart and interesting and insightful people? Obviously not. So, um, I think the approach is
01:11:18.220
backwards. What makes the most sense as a young adult, unless you specifically need a degree
01:11:24.120
is to graduate high school, continue your education on your own terms. Like that means reading and
01:11:33.940
learning in your spare time, because that's the thing. We also have access to all the knowledge in
01:11:37.640
human history through an internet connection. So do that. And, and in the meantime, like pursue
01:11:45.540
success by actually doing it, doing the thing, whatever it is, the thing that you want to do.
01:11:51.620
And, um, and then once you achieve that success and you have some money and you've survived the early
01:11:58.940
stages of adulthood and you're not crushed by debt and you have all these things, then if you want
01:12:04.880
to go and get more formal education just for the sake of it, just for personal enrichment,
01:12:10.780
you can do that at that point. In fact, this will shock you to hear, but I may go to college
01:12:17.540
eventually and let, not actually go, like I'm not going to go attend. That would be funny. That would
01:12:23.260
be actually be very funny for me to go on campus and just become a college student. Um,
01:12:30.700
I don't, I don't, it's, it's, I might, I might get a little chaotic, but no, you know, one of these
01:12:37.680
days I may take some online classes and get a degree in something just for the education. Like
01:12:42.760
not to, I won't use it for anything. I don't need it. Um, I'm already, I'm well established in my
01:12:47.700
career. I don't, I don't need any credentials. It's not going to do any, they're not going to do
01:12:50.900
me any good professionally, but, uh, just to have it, I don't know, like just to have the education,
01:12:56.740
just to learn. And, uh, you know, I, in my spare time, I'll watch lectures all the time. That's
01:13:02.080
one of the things, cause I'm a boring person. So I'll sit and watch a lecture and I've watched
01:13:06.740
and I had this thought the other day, I'm watching one on some, you know, history subject. And I'm
01:13:11.440
thinking like, if I, if I, I have enough credits here that I could just have a degree, I don't know.
01:13:15.620
Um, and so I've had that thought, but that's what you do at the, that's, that's the kind of thing
01:13:24.240
you do when you have the luxury to do it. And, uh, and, and at that point it's, uh, it's fine.
01:13:31.360
You know, you're not taking on, but taking on enormous amount of debts of debt, when you have
01:13:37.900
a net worth of zero already just to learn stuff, um, for four years does not make any sense.
01:13:47.520
And also if you want to be smart and well-rounded and a well-read person,
01:13:53.640
which you should want all those things, you have to learn every day, whether you're in college or
01:14:00.420
not. Right. I mean, if you could go to college, you could go to college, you could do four years,
01:14:09.420
you could get a master's, you could do all the whole thing. And if you then graduate and you don't
01:14:14.920
continue to pursue knowledge and, uh, on your own, then not only will the degree be practically
01:14:22.500
worthless, which it probably already is, but even the knowledge you acquired is now worthless too,
01:14:27.780
because you're going to lose it because you didn't continue to pursue education and knowledge,
01:14:33.440
which most of these college graduates, they don't do that.
01:14:36.640
So keep learning, but also do that's the, that's the key. And, uh, we'll leave it there for today.
