The Matt Walsh Show - Ep. 1722 - The WEF Made One Thing Very Clear： If Democrats Win We Are Totally Screwed

00:00:00.000 From Amazon MGM Studios comes Melania. Every protocol, every precaution, every move coordinated. 0.86

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. 0.73

00:00:56.760 Normally, when our lizard overlords convene at the World Economic Forum in Davos every year, 0.87

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 0.71

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 1.00

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 1.00

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

00:03:40.800 something bigger, better, stronger, more just.

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. 1.00

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.

00:05:33.460 Watch.

00:05:33.720 75% of NATO GDP is outside the European Union.

00:05:38.620 Let's not forget.

00:05:39.560 That's a fact.

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.

00:05:52.220 And nobody wants it.

00:05:53.060 Not on the U.S. side.

00:05:54.160 Not on the European side.

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?

00:06:06.620 Not that anyone needed to spell it 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.

00:06:20.880 Watch.

00:06:22.460 Mr. Carney?

00:06:23.700 Well, we're in a security section.

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. 0.99

00:06:32.020 China, you say?

00:06:32.800 Yeah.

00:06:32.900 And when he was asked to explain this about-face recently, here's what Carney said.

00:06:42.560 Hi, Prime Minister.

00:06:43.420 Sarah Ritchie with the Canadian Press.

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.

00:06:55.040 Do you still believe that to be the case?

00:06:56.540 I think we have to manage all our threats.

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.

00:07:23.420 Well, it doesn't make sense, obviously.

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.

00:07:51.200 Watch.

00:07:51.500 President Trump says, oh, you know, Greenland's on the threat from Russia, even from China.

00:07:57.280 Is that for real?

00:08:00.880 I would say that there are threats.

00:08:03.820 Russia is, without question, a threat in the Arctic. 0.97

00:08:07.180 Without question. 0.97

00:08:08.480 Russia does lots of horrible things. 0.97

00:08:10.200 And I'll take the opportunity to condemn their unjustified and horrific assault on Ukraine, almost at its fourth year. 0.91

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.

00:08:55.960 So, what's going on here?

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.

00:09:10.580 It's a quarter of a billion dollars.

00:09:12.560 So, an awful lot of money.

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. 0.82

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.

00:10:04.300 Well, that's it.

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.

00:10:15.380 That's exactly what's happening.

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. 1.00

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.

00:10:48.500 Watch.

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?

00:11:01.640 That is exactly what I'm saying, Colin.

00:11:04.640 So thank you for that.

00:11:05.680 Say your word.

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.

00:11:15.260 It's as simple as that.

00:11:16.640 This is a team candidate approach.

00:11:18.260 We've got to stick together.

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.

00:11:28.440 But Carney does have that financial stake.

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.

00:12:23.760 Two hours, probably more accurate.

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.

00:12:44.380 So the balloon continued to Iceland.

00:12:47.240 They couldn't defeat a balloon in battle.

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.

00:13:02.660 They've all been disarmed by the government.

00:13:04.360 And on top of that, they're not jihadis.

00:13:07.060 They're Canadians.

00:13:08.460 Half of them sit around all day waiting for their government pensions to vest.

00:13:11.900 And the other half are high.

00:13:14.820 They're not going to fight a sustained battle for anything other than a bong. 0.94

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. 0.98

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.

00:13:40.280 Watch.

00:13:41.480 Human rights of those who didn't want to get vaccinated.

00:13:44.040 Yet some people have died as a result of this.

00:13:46.460 Is that really a smirking matter?

00:13:49.080 Why you pushed in Canada to vaccinate the people?

00:13:50.860 Pushing disinformation the way you have.

00:13:53.140 What is disinformation?

00:13:55.020 What, that people have died?

00:13:56.260 Why you pushed people in Canada to vaccinate the COVID vaccine?

00:13:59.980 But that's not misinformation.

00:14:01.200 My old cameraman's mother actually...

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.

00:14:10.920 So is that misinformation?

00:14:11.720 Oh, now you're laughing.

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.

00:14:22.540 This inflammation can be fatal.

00:14:24.540 Stanford Medical School just published a lengthy article about this phenomenon a month ago.

00:14:28.720 Here's what they wrote.

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,

00:15:06.580 they'll laugh in your face about it.

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,

00:15:35.740 so we'll play it at some length.

00:15:37.860 Here it is. Watch.

00:15:38.640 You should start at a much higher level.

00:15:41.860 Okay.

00:15:42.200 Okay?

00:15:42.760 We are in Davos at the World Economic Forum.

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.

00:15:58.640 It's a failed policy.

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,

00:16:10.780 and the world is a better place for it.

00:16:12.820 The fact is it has left America behind.

00:16:15.680 It has left the American workers behind. 0.67

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,

00:16:28.380 which is that our workers come first.

00:16:31.160 We can have policies that impact our workers.

00:16:36.900 Sovereignty is your borders.

00:16:40.360 You're entitled to have borders.

00:16:41.900 You shouldn't offshore your medicine.

00:16:44.060 You shouldn't offshore your semiconductors.

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.

00:17:05.420 Okay?

00:17:05.840 And so that is a different way of thinking.

00:17:09.500 It is completely different than the WEF.

00:17:12.620 I viewed the WEF as not a flagpole in the middle, but in fact, they are the flag.

00:17:19.360 Whichever way the wind blew, so it blew.

00:17:22.300 You should have solar.

00:17:23.480 You should have wind.

00:17:24.780 Why are you going to do solar and wind?

00:17:27.700 Why would Europe agree to be net zero in 2030 when they don't make a battery?

00:17:36.560 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.

00:17:55.540 This was the president of France, for example.

00:17:58.620 China is welcome.

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

00:18:44.300 from Zoolander.

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. 0.76

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. 0.86

00:19:20.520 They have no stake in the future of their own countries.

00:19:22.800 They have no children.

00:19:24.100 That's been a disaster for the West.

00:19:25.980 In his own remarks, Trump made that clear again and again.

00:19:29.900 Watch.

00:19:31.620 Here in Europe, we've seen the fate that the radical left tried to impose on America.

00:19:37.900 They tried very hard.

00:19:40.160 Germany now generates 22% less electricity than it did in 2017.

00:19:44.780 And it's not the current chancellor's fault.

00:19:50.000 He's solving the problem.

00:19:51.720 He's going to do a great job.

00:19:53.420 But what they did before he got there, I guess that's why he got there.

00:19:58.000 And electricity prices are 64% higher.

00:20:02.260 The United Kingdom produces just one-third of the total energy from all sources that it

00:20:08.520 did in 1999.

00:20:09.680 Think of that, one-third.

00:20:12.160 And they're sitting on top of the North Sea, one of the greatest reserves anywhere in the

00:20:17.380 world.

00:20:18.160 Certain places in Europe are not even recognizable, frankly, anymore.

00:20:22.480 They're not recognizable.

00:20:24.340 And we can argue about it, but there's no argument.

00:20:28.320 Friends come back from different places.

00:20:30.140 I don't want to insult anybody and say, I don't recognize it.

00:20:34.840 And that's not in a positive way.

00:20:36.860 That's in a very negative way.

00:20:38.480 And I love Europe, and I want to see Europe go good.

00:20:42.440 But it's not heading in the right direction.

00:20:45.120 In recent days, they should be grateful to us.

00:20:47.820 Canada lives because of the United States. 0.75

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 0.93

00:21:25.460 for no reason whatsoever, other than to extract more payouts for the union.

00:21:29.440 And here she is now.

00:21:31.880 You also have to create a curriculum.

00:21:33.940 And you have to create this engagement with each other.

00:21:36.580 And the last thing I'll say is this.

00:21:39.000 When you do it, in the United States of America, we have 16,000 school districts.

00:21:43.980 We have over 100,000 schools.

00:21:46.940 There are industry partners all over.

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. 0.91

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.

00:22:25.380 And we are all in.

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

00:22:39.920 craft a new curriculum for America's schools.

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

00:22:53.520 comprehensive energy reduction.

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.

00:23:14.460 Watch.

00:23:16.120 I can't take this complicity.

00:23:18.680 People rolling over.

00:23:20.540 I should have brought a bunch of knee pads for all the world leaders. 0.99

00:23:23.520 I mean, handing out crowns and handing out—I mean, this is pathetic. 0.96

00:23:28.240 Nobel Prizes, they are being given away. 0.99

00:23:30.740 I mean, it's just pathetic. 0.99

00:23:32.700 And I hope people understand how pathetic they look on the world stage. 0.99

00:23:38.220 I mean, at least from an American perspective. 0.99

00:23:40.100 It's embarrassing.

00:23:41.340 It's time to buck up.

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.

00:23:52.780 You know.

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.

00:24:16.520 God forbid.

00:24:17.560 He'll do everything in his power to transform the U.S. into a ward of China, just like Canada. 0.98

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.

00:24:51.220 We can remain a sovereign, independent nation.

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.

00:25:02.820 Now let's get to our five headlines.

00:25:05.720 We'll be right back.

00:25:35.720 We'll be right back.

00:26:05.720 Let's see how much you can save.

00:26:06.620 That's policygenius.com slash Walsh.

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.

00:26:15.840 But first, the good news.

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.

00:27:25.620 They never thought that this would happen.

00:27:28.800 And you can see why.

00:27:30.660 I mean, understandably.

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.

00:27:47.780 Right.

00:27:49.580 This is a group that burned entire city blocks.

00:27:53.220 And never faced really any consequence for it.

00:27:57.000 So that's what they've grown accustomed to.

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. 1.00

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. 0.99

00:28:34.520 Yeah, you know, I can just block traffic.

00:28:36.400 I can do whatever I want.

00:28:37.920 You know, I can do what I want.

00:28:39.180 I'm a leftist.

00:28:39.800 I'm a woman.

00:28:41.980 Oh, nothing's going to happen to me.

00:28:44.580 Hey, I can run into this cop.

00:28:46.200 Nothing's going to happen to me.

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.

00:28:54.160 And they're all going to melt down.

00:28:56.220 I mean, the whole thing falls apart.

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.

00:29:07.180 They didn't, they don't want this, obviously.

00:29:09.600 And, um, these are not.

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.

00:29:22.400 Like they, they were prepared for that.

00:29:26.200 And so this is exactly what they knew was going to happen.

00:29:28.560 That's not the case for these people.

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.

00:30:30.960 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.

00:30:48.860 I got kidnapped by ICE, Ahmed said.

00:30:52.920 That's the story.

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.

00:31:05.620 Here she is telling her sob story.

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.

00:31:42.280 They arrested me.

00:31:43.120 It was multiple people.

00:31:44.120 They used a lot of force to arrest me.

00:31:46.420 Um, I actually got, uh, uh, scab, um, that was, uh, healing while I was in jail.

00:31:52.840 Um, but they pushed me hard.

00:31:55.900 They used a lot of violence.

00:31:56.920 My body still hurts.

00:31:57.920 I got a concussion.

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.

00:32:07.780 I was crying.

00:32:09.100 I was so scared.

00:32:10.580 I've like never been arrested in my life.

00:32:13.980 I've never, I don't have like a criminal record.

00:32:17.080 I have a clean 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.

00:32:34.920 She went through a lot too.

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

00:32:41.940 on her face.

00:32:42.760 They shattered her windows.

00:32:44.780 Uh, she had blood on her jeans, her corduroy jeans, and she was crying because she was so

00:32:50.340 scared.

00:32:51.340 Yeah.

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.

00:32:59.480 It's not like you were taken by surprise here.

00:33:01.580 So you'd think you'd have the story ready.

00:33:03.380 You could just see her making it up.

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.

00:33:15.900 Yeah.

00:33:16.260 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

00:33:24.580 nice to, um, say racial slurs.

00:33:27.860 And they did that too.

00:33:28.760 So yeah, they said, they said racial slurs.

00:33:30.840 They said the N word.

00:33:31.760 Uh, they said it, uh, two, well, three times, they said it like two and a half times, like

00:33:36.480 two and a half to three times.

00:33:38.480 And, um, and then they, uh, and then they, they, they picked me up and they body slammed 0.90

00:33:43.100 me too.

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

00:33:53.060 back on.

00:33:53.880 Um, and yeah, it was, it was pretty tough.

00:33:57.660 So I love the bandaid there too.

00:33:59.420 I love how she's got that.

00:34:00.160 It's like a nice touch, the cartoonish band.

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

00:34:11.020 their head.

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 1.00

00:34:30.140 there's no way to prove you don't have it.

00:34:33.160 Right.

00:34:33.480 There's no way.

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?

00:34:44.780 That's the way it goes.

00:34:45.600 It gets very hard to prove you don't have one.

00:34:48.040 It's just like anytime someone gets into a fender bender, if the other person's at fault,

00:34:51.300 they immediately go, oh, my neck.

00:34:53.660 Yeah.

00:34:54.020 I got some whiplash.

00:34:55.140 I don't know.

00:34:56.140 Yeah.

00:34:56.360 The neck really hurts.

00:34:57.380 There's no way to prove it doesn't hurt.

00:34:58.820 I mean, it's, it's okay.

00:35:00.220 So it hurts.

00:35:01.620 Um, and then she claims she was, she was called the N word, which is fascinating. 1.00

00:35:05.540 It's fascinating that these ice officers are constantly on video video, constantly being

00:35:09.980 recorded.

00:35:11.440 And yet nobody caught that on tape.

00:35:14.880 You've got mobs of people out there filming everything that these ice officers do waiting for 0.79

00:35:20.260 this moment.

00:35:20.900 That's why they're all there waiting for one of these guys to do something or say something

00:35:26.720 explicitly racist.

00:35:28.020 They're begging for it.

00:35:29.440 I mean, this, the, they're, these are what they're basically out there.

00:35:32.960 They're like, um, treasure hunters.

00:35:34.720 They're like the guys with the metal detectors out on the beach, you know, and all they ever

00:35:39.460 do is find bottle caps.

00:35:40.600 They're just waiting for that time when actually, oh, wow.

00:35:43.240 It's like a coin from the 1840s.

00:35:45.840 And it's like the Bigfoot hunter.

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.

00:35:58.020 And the guy doesn't have his camera on him.

00:35:59.760 And that's what it's like for these, these ice agitators. 0.98

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. 0.59

00:36:16.300 Oh man. 0.97

00:36:18.740 Talk, talk about bad luck.

00:36:21.200 Jeez.

00:36:23.640 So look, this is clearly bogus.

00:36:25.700 I don't believe any part of it for even a second.

00:36:28.680 Um, because keep this in mind.

00:36:32.860 Also leftists are well known for their hoaxes as we know, and Somalis are notorious for being 1.00

00:36:41.760 scam artists. 0.95

00:36:43.780 So combine those two leftist and Somali. 0.99

00:36:48.100 And it's the perfect storm of phoniness.

00:36:50.660 It's like, what was it in Power Rangers where all the Power Rangers combined to make the big,

00:36:57.700 the big super robot, the Megazord.

00:37:01.420 This is the Megazord, right?

00:37:03.700 This is the con artist Megazord, Somali, leftist woman. 1.00

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

00:38:34.060 All right.

00:38:34.680 Michelle Obama, speaking of con artists, is talking again.

00:38:38.620 And, uh, this is what she does now. 0.72

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.

00:38:59.020 That was a dean of students.

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.

00:39:20.040 Right.

00:39:20.820 And again, not unique to me.

00:39:22.800 It can happen to the best of us.

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.

00:39:33.480 So let's lean in.

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.

00:39:52.860 Here it is.

00:39:53.220 But as my popularity rose, I was being covered more.

00:39:59.440 Right.

00:39:59.980 And so the press enters the scene and there are now reports.

00:40:04.940 Right.

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.

00:40:21.760 Okay.

00:40:24.660 Okay.

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. 1.00

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.

00:41:09.780 I mean, I'm not a style guru.

00:41:12.840 Well, I sort of am.

00:41:14.040 Some would say, some would say that I'm a fashion expert.

00:41:17.780 Um, but let's leave that to the side.

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. 1.00

00:41:52.240 You're Barack Obama's wife.

00:41:54.280 What else do you want people to say about you?

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.

00:42:05.840 Okay.

00:42:06.040 So, cause I actually looked this up.

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.

00:42:23.180 So let me see what's up with this 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.

00:42:36.920 Wow.

00:42:38.080 Fascinating.

00:42:40.480 Wow.

00:42:41.260 That is interesting, Michelle.

00:42:44.540 What else do you want us to say about that?

00:42:47.020 You're upset that people weren't talking about that.

00:42:49.420 What is there to say?

00:42:51.940 Breaking news.

00:42:53.040 Michelle Obama has college degree.

00:42:57.180 World changed forever.

00:43:00.320 Breaking black woman has degree in sociology. 1.00

00:43:05.360 Like, I don't know.

00:43:07.020 Breaking news.

00:43:07.900 Michelle Obama has read some books.

00:43:10.940 Maybe.

00:43:13.460 Confirmed.

00:43:14.340 Michelle Obama can read.

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.

00:43:23.180 So here's the problem, Michelle.

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.

00:44:01.220 She became a lawyer for a few years.

00:44:03.180 And then she worked in government.

00:44:05.300 And then she worked in academia.

00:44:07.700 And that's it.

00:44:11.680 Like, that's the whole, that's the prequel.

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. 1.00

00:44:27.360 So that, that's her story.

00:44:29.820 It's the story of every upper class liberal woman of all time. 1.00

00:44:34.040 The career path of every bureaucrat.

00:44:36.460 Okay.

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. 0.86

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. 1.00

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.

00:45:07.200 If not for that, you're, nobody knows you.

00:45:11.400 Nobody would know your name.

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.

00:45:24.560 That's as far as you would go.

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.

00:45:38.040 And this is why men have to be very careful.

00:45:40.740 And you know that I'm a big proponent of marriage.

00:45:44.380 Definitely go get married.

00:45:45.780 Can't recommend it highly enough.

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.

00:46:18.100 You know, she doesn't want to be defined. 1.00

00:46:19.800 Like, this is the thing you hear from feminist women all the time who are married. 1.00

00:46:25.380 Like, I don't want to be defined.

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. 0.89

00:46:42.960 You're at dinner on a first date and a woman says anything like that. 1.00

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.

00:46:53.740 Like, she'll pay for it. 0.93

00:46:55.640 She's an independent woman, right?

00:46:56.720 She's a strong, she'll pay for it. 1.00

00:46:57.720 Don't worry about it.

00:46:58.440 Just get up, like, right then and there.

00:46:59.840 Don't even say anything.

00:47:01.140 Get up and run out as fast as you can.

00:47:04.880 That's what I would recommend.

00:47:07.660 Especially if you're a man of ambition.

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.

00:47:21.720 You know, this is pretty common.

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. 1.00

00:47:46.420 They don't want to be seen as mere helpmates to their husbands. 1.00

00:47:49.780 And they want to be the star.

00:47:53.300 You know?

00:47:53.720 But the good news is that it's actually very easy to identify these women.

00:47:58.520 That's always my...

00:48:00.360 We could talk about the problem with these modern feminist type women, and we should talk about that. 1.00

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.

00:48:11.380 You could end up with a woman like this.

00:48:13.320 No, you 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.

00:48:20.560 It's, you're not going to be fooled.

00:48:23.400 At least that's, that's not, that's, that would be a rare case.

00:48:27.700 It's very easy to identify these women. 0.99

00:48:29.640 It's not difficult.

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. 0.97

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. 1.00

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. 1.00

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.

00:49:36.240 And I'm no Barack Obama fan.

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?

00:50:06.540 I don't think she ever has.

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?

00:50:18.400 Or impressed by his achievements?

00:50:22.340 You know, that's the red flag.

00:50:26.480 That's what you want.

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.

00:50:36.060 When I met my wife, I was broke.

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.

00:50:52.460 Like the whole deal.

00:50:53.720 Luxurious situation that my wife married into. 1.00

00:50:55.740 But when I would tell her about my dreams, about my goals, about everything that I wanted to do,

00:51:05.580 she believed me and she was rooting for me.

00:51:09.580 And it's not like that was easy to do.

00:51:14.680 If I had looked at myself back then, I wouldn't have believed any of that.

00:51:18.260 I would have said, yeah, yeah, sure.

00:51:19.840 Yeah, sure, you're going to do all that.

00:51:22.060 But she believed it.

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.

00:51:37.540 And that's what you want.

00:51:40.420 And those kind of women are out there. 1.00

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

00:51:49.320 or give me enough credit or whatever.

00:51:52.600 She'll just despise those people. 1.00

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.

00:51:59.800 And I've kind of moved on from it.

00:52:01.320 To me, it's water under the bridge.

00:52:02.980 My wife will just never forget it. 0.94

00:52:04.580 Never forget that.

00:52:06.260 And will just despise that person forever.

00:52:09.960 So that's what you want.

00:52:11.600 A woman who will root for you, fight for you, have your back. 0.98

00:52:15.500 The exact opposite.

00:52:16.660 Just look at Michelle Obama and the way she talks about her husband and then say,

00:52:20.240 I want that, but precisely the opposite.

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

00:52:33.980 rather than shipping some cheaply made junk from China?

00:52:36.300 Real quality is exactly what you get with Bowl & Branch's Bedding.

00:53:12.960 Now, honestly, they're really worth it.

00:53:15.000 I was skeptical of the idea that they could get softer with every wash,

00:54:46.680 All right, finally, I want to talk about this.

00:54:51.380 Somebody served me up a softball.

00:54:53.080 I can't help but take advantage.

00:54:54.060 And I fully believe in taking the softballs.

00:54:57.020 You got to take the softballs when you get them.

00:55:00.040 So Zaid Jelani is a guy who works in media.

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.

00:55:15.020 So here's what he looks like, by the way.

00:55:17.800 And I'm not cherry picking like an unflattering photo.

00:55:21.300 I didn't do that.

00:55:21.840 I didn't go and everybody has unflattering photos.

00:55:24.260 Believe me, I know.

00:55:25.840 But this was the photo, his profile photo,

00:55:28.060 like his author photo on one of the sites that he wrote for.

00:55:31.880 This is the one they chose.

00:55:33.540 I mean, it's, I mean, you might look at that

00:55:35.860 and assume that it's a mugshot of some low-level Al-Qaeda operative

00:55:39.940 who just got pulled out of a cave somewhere.

00:55:42.340 But it's not, just to be clear.

00:55:44.980 And if you do say that about Zaid, how dare you?

00:55:47.500 I would never say that.

00:55:48.480 That's racist.

00:55:49.220 You should not.

00:55:49.920 That's it.

00:55:50.340 You should not say that.

00:55:52.080 I'm not saying it.

00:55:53.040 I'm just saying that if you say that, you shouldn't.

00:55:54.820 And some people would say it.

00:55:55.800 Anyway, so Zaid's not a fan of mine.

00:55:58.440 He attacks me, you know, all the time.

00:56:01.700 Constantly, like, nipping, begging for my attention.

00:56:05.900 And he's a leftist in media.

00:56:07.420 So, of course, he hates me.

00:56:08.660 Those people despise me most of all.

00:56:10.780 And we'll see why in a second.

00:56:12.600 A couple of days ago, he tweeted this.

00:56:14.080 This is in response to some other person

00:56:16.080 who was tweeting about Nick Shirley.

00:56:17.780 And, of course, Nick Shirley, who gave us that great investigative report

00:56:22.500 about the Somali scammers in Minnesota.

00:56:24.920 And this person was claiming that Nick Shirley is a high school dropout.

00:56:29.820 Which, apparently, he isn't.

00:56:31.420 Now, there's a community note under it saying it's not true.

00:56:34.380 But I look at that.

00:56:36.520 I don't know if it was true or not.

00:56:38.740 So, I saw that.

00:56:39.800 I'm like, well, if he's a high school dropout, that's, wow, that's impressive.

00:56:42.960 To me, that's even more 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.

00:56:50.740 And I say, wow, like, good for him.

00:56:52.680 That's even better.

00:56:56.840 He's 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?

00:57:05.480 That's an incredible story.

00:57:06.800 I'm really impressed by that.

00:57:08.300 Turns out he was not a high school dropout, so that's a lie.

00:57:11.880 Nick Shirley is still a very impressive guy.

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

00:57:28.720 yelling his opinions to the world.

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,

00:57:40.740 which is the most interesting part.

00:57:42.960 But, like I said, it's a softball.

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,

00:57:56.320 which, fine, I hear that all the time.

00:57:59.060 And, look, I do an hour-long commentary show every day.

00:58:05.400 I've made two movies.

00:58:06.200 I've published four books.

00:58:07.300 We just put out a history documentary series.

00:58:09.240 We've worked on getting legislation passed, policy changes, activism,

00:58:12.380 public speaking, rallies.

00:58:13.540 I mean, you know, I work pretty hard.

00:58:15.860 I think I do quite a lot.

00:58:17.300 Some would say I don't have a job.

00:58:18.580 Sometimes I feel like I have, like, four jobs.

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

00:58:52.300 in order to make this thing work?

00:58:53.720 Well, if you're a plumber, electrician, a doctor, like,

00:58:58.000 we've got to fill your roles right away.

00:58:59.640 You guys are front of the line.

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,

00:59:16.800 then the whole country collapses.

00:59:18.640 And if you stop going to work, you know, in the media,

00:59:21.900 then the country will survive just fine.

00:59:23.660 Again, that's totally fair.

00:59:25.500 But, and true, and I would agree with it.

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,

00:59:58.360 you're an underachiever.

00:59:59.840 Nine times out of 10, they're also in media.

01:00:03.380 And it's like, well, we do the same thing.

01:00:05.820 I'm just better at it than you and more successful.

01:00:08.300 But let's leave that aside.

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.

01:00:23.820 And there are two points I want to make.

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

01:00:33.520 person because I didn't go to college.

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.

01:00:40.100 It's kind of snobbery, right?

01:00:41.460 The scoffing people do.

01:00:42.860 You didn't even go to college.

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.

01:00:53.400 But there are two points to make.

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

01:01:05.980 actually very third world coded.

01:01:09.440 You know, this assertion that a college degree is an achievement in and of itself, along with

01:01:16.340 being false, is very un-American.

01:01:18.880 It's very foreign in a literal sense.

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 1.00

01:01:31.400 mentality.

01:01:32.340 They come from cultures where just simply going to college and getting a piece of paper, the 0.92

01:01:37.720 degree itself is a major achievement.

01:01:40.540 It's a status symbol.

01:01:42.000 It's kind of their idea of Western success.

01:01:46.460 People from foreign countries outside of the West, they dream not just of success, but of 0.84

01:01:50.700 Western success.

01:01:52.440 And to them, the pinnacle is to get a college degree.

01:01:57.060 You know, to have that status symbol.

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

01:02:11.860 doing.

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

01:02:33.860 their credentials.

01:02:35.160 We don't care.

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.

01:02:47.420 Thomas Edison hardly had any formal education.

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

01:02:59.040 really a long list.

01:03:01.340 And when you think about the successful people who did go to college, like think about Elon

01:03:04.440 Musk, right?

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.

01:03:12.260 I think he has two bachelor's degrees.

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

01:03:30.780 say otherwise. 0.96

01:03:32.620 So this glamorization of the college degree is not only dumb, but also, and it isn't said 0.96

01:03:38.060 enough, it's not American. 0.97

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 0.79

01:04:05.680 denigrating is by every metric more successful than you. 1.00

01:04:08.920 It is very American for a man to say, okay, here's what I want to achieve.

01:04:15.820 I'm not going to go to college to achieve it.

01:04:18.220 I'm going to go my own way.

01:04:19.580 I'm going to follow my own path.

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

01:04:26.600 terms.

01:04:26.880 If I succeed, I'll succeed on my own terms.

01:04:28.440 Like, that is American.

01:04:29.400 That is quintessentially American.

01:04:31.640 The most American thing, you know, here's the most American thing, is to choose what

01:04:36.620 you care about in life.

01:04:38.720 Choose what you want to do, whatever it is, and go do it and be great at it.

01:04:45.300 Be the best at it.

01:04:46.580 It's not to pursue credentials or to get into a, quote, unquote, respectable line of work

01:04:52.060 just because it's respectable.

01:04:53.840 It's to pursue greatness on whatever path you choose, right?

01:04:59.280 Whatever path it is.

01:05:01.000 And however you measure greatness, which does not have to have anything to do with money

01:05:04.560 or anything else.

01:05:05.180 You know, that's why, like, I would admire and be impressed by a great ping pong player

01:05:17.340 over a mediocre doctor.

01:05:20.240 And we all feel that way, actually.

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.

01:05:34.020 Yeah.

01:05:35.180 Nobody wants to watch that.

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.

01:05:46.140 I don't even like jazz.

01:05:47.440 I don't care about drumming.

01:05:48.780 But I want to see that story.

01:05:51.580 That's an American story.

01:05:53.680 And if that sounds foreign to you, it's because you are foreign. 0.92

01:06:00.300 So that's the first thing.

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.

01:06:09.600 And if somehow you don't, I'll give it again.

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.

01:06:31.120 So you say, I have a medical degree.

01:06:32.800 Who cares?

01:06:34.520 Good for you.

01:06:37.720 Now, go out, take your medical degree, go get a job as a doctor, operate on a human brain successfully.

01:06:43.920 Now I'm impressed.

01:06:45.400 Now I look at that and say, well, that's something I could never do.

01:06:47.420 I don't even know.

01:06:47.820 I can't even, I can't wrap my mind around that.

01:06:51.400 The degree helped you get to that point.

01:06:54.600 But the thing that's impressive, the thing that is the achievement, is the doing, the doing part,

01:07:00.660 is that you went and did this thing.

01:07:02.060 That's the impressive 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.

01:07:14.040 This is where the world is moving.

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.

01:14:45.520 Thanks for watching. Thanks for listening. Talk to you tomorrow. Have a great day. Godspeed.

01:14:57.460 What was it like, Merlin, to be alone with God?

01:15:01.680 Is that who you think I was alone with?

01:15:12.520 Merlin, I knew your father. I am yet convinced that he was not of this world.

01:15:20.080 All men know of the great Taliesin.

01:15:23.420 You are my father, that the gods should war for my soul.

01:15:27.780 Princess Garrus, savior of our people.

01:15:31.680 I know what the bull god offered you.

01:15:35.900 I was offered the same.

01:15:37.840 And?

01:15:39.400 There is a new power at work in the world. I've seen it.

01:15:43.500 A god who sacrifices what he loves for us.

01:15:46.220 We are each given only one life, Singer.

01:15:48.960 No.

01:15:50.080 We're given another.

01:15:53.940 I learnt of Yazoo the Christ. 1.00

01:15:56.220 And I have become his follower.

01:15:58.100 He's waiting on a miracle.

01:15:59.620 And I think you can give him one.

01:16:01.680 Trust in Yazoo.

01:16:03.000 He is the only hope for men like us.

01:16:05.900 Fate of Britain never rests in the hands of the great light.

01:16:08.960 Great light.

01:16:10.100 Great darkness.

01:16:11.540 Such things mattered to me then. 0.70

01:16:14.120 What matters to you now, mistress of lies?

01:16:16.100 You, nephew. 0.73

01:16:17.100 The sword of a high king.

01:16:26.520 How many lives must be lost before you accept the power you were born to wield?

01:16:34.320 Circling to the promises of a god who has abandoned you.

01:16:37.340 I cannot take up that sword again.

01:16:40.400 You know what you must do.

01:16:43.900 Great light, forgive me.
