From Amazon MGM Studios comes Melania. Every protocol, every precaution, every move coordinated.
00:00:06.420
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. They told you America invented slavery.
00:00:25.900
They told you the Indians were peaceful. They told you colonialism was evil and that Joseph
00:00:33.800
McCarthy was a bad guy. And guess what? They lied. For a half a century, generations of American
00:00:40.580
schoolchildren have been taught to hate our history, hate our country, and hate themselves.
00:00:45.980
It's time to set the record straight. And since no one else is going to do it, I will.
00:00:50.700
Who sold us the slaves? What were India and Africa like before Europeans arrived? What
00:00:56.540
caused white flight? Some of the most well-known stories from American history are designed to
00:01:01.340
demoralize you. The Trail of Tears, the Smallpox Blanket Smith, the Red Scare. It's all baseless.
00:01:07.780
It's time for a lesson on what they're not teaching in public schools, on the real history of slavery,
00:01:12.740
of colonialism, of the Indians, of America, and the world. It's time for Real History with Matt Walsh.
00:01:26.460
Today on the Matt Walsh Show, we've heard quite a bit about the Somali invasion of Minnesota,
00:01:29.800
but the same thing's happening to an even worse degree in other places in the country. In fact,
00:01:33.880
in the state of Maine, there's been an explicit out-in-the-open campaign to make the state less
00:01:38.040
white by importing foreigners from Africa. This deserves much more attention than it's getting,
00:01:42.660
we'll talk about today. Also, a feminist woman writes what is perhaps the most deranged op-ed
00:01:46.840
ever published, trying to explain why she doesn't want the men who allegedly gang-raped her to go
00:01:51.000
to prison. And Ilhan Omar is sprayed with a liquid during a town hall event. The media and Democrats
00:01:55.320
are treating this like a national tragedy. We'll talk about all of that and more today on the Matt Walsh Show.
00:02:12.660
10 years ago, the state of Maine had many easily identifiable, objectively serious problems.
00:02:31.760
Poverty rates in the so-called Rim counties, which are rural, exceeded 20%. The population was declining
00:02:38.300
substantially. The paper industry was collapsing with several mills going bankrupt in a short period
00:02:44.100
of time. Thousands of jobs were disappearing. And on top of that, the workforce was getting much older
00:02:48.800
with a median age of 44 years old. But in the eyes of leftists in New England, including wealthy leftists
00:02:55.960
in Maine, none of these issues really mattered very much. Instead, the biggest problem in Maine,
00:03:00.840
the only one they cared about, was that a lot of white people live there. Something like 95%
00:03:07.040
of Maine's population at the time was white. Now, you might think to yourselves, if you're
00:03:13.000
normal people, so what? Why would well-to-do leftists care so much about the demographics
00:03:19.160
of a relatively small state? Why would they despise the presence of a lot of white people
00:03:25.780
in Maine? Well, here's why. Take a look at this screenshot, which is from an actual article
00:03:30.840
that was published by USA Today in 2018. You may have seen the screenshot before because it's become
00:03:35.420
something of a meme. But again, it's all real. And I looked it up to confirm it is real.
00:03:40.680
The article is called The Best and Worst Thing About Each State. So for Maine, the USA Today article
00:03:47.440
states, quote, the best thing, lowest violent crime rate. Maine ranks as the safest state in the country,
00:03:53.360
as there were just 124 violent crimes reported for every 100,000 residents, less than a third of the
00:03:59.100
national rate. The worst thing, least diverse. According to the latest census data, 94.4% of
00:04:06.980
Maine's population is white, beating out nearby Vermont and New Hampshire as the least diverse
00:04:12.320
states. Yes, the best part of the state is that there's no violent crime. But the worst part of the
00:04:19.500
state is that there's no diversity. And over at USA Today, no one even considered the possibility that
00:04:25.200
there might be a, I don't know, causal link between these two statements. Because if they did,
00:04:31.180
they would not have published this in a million years, of course. So there it is. In the era of BLM,
00:04:37.400
racial equity, and George Floyd, the state of Maine was a living rebuttal to the fundamental tenets
00:04:43.360
of modern leftism. Maine was proof that diversity is not, in fact, our strength. In fact, diversity is
00:04:49.300
a clear and present danger to every American. Diversity makes your community less safe. That's
00:04:57.300
just a fact. Plain as day. And additionally, Maine proved that, contrary to leftist orthodoxy,
00:05:04.220
extreme poverty, which Maine has poverty, does not necessarily lead to high rates of violent crime.
00:05:12.820
Like, it turns out you could have communities that are poor, but not very violent. It's just
00:05:19.200
that those communities have to be white. That's what the stats tell us. Instead, Maine demonstrated
00:05:26.200
that all of the FBI crime statistics are true. Non-white people commit an overwhelming, staggering
00:05:33.060
amount of serious crime in this country. And therefore, in a state with only white people,
00:05:37.680
there's a lot less serious crime. Well, this status quo is obviously unacceptable to the Democrat
00:05:44.220
Party and to leftists everywhere. So they immediately set out to destroy Maine, especially the poor
00:05:49.840
white areas. This is not some fringe conspiracy theory, by the way. Leftists were very open
00:05:54.640
about what they were planning. Here's the New York Times in 2018, for example, quote,
00:05:58.800
New Hampshire, like its neighbors, Vermont and Maine, is nearly all white. This has posed an array
00:06:03.520
of problems for new arrivals who often find themselves isolated and alone without the comfort and support
00:06:08.420
of a built-in community. It also poses problems for employers in these states who find that their
00:06:13.020
homogeneity can be a barrier to recruiting and retaining workers of different ethnicities and
00:06:17.720
cultural backgrounds. The issue prompted about 100 business leaders, government officials, and
00:06:22.120
members of nonprofit organizations to meet Tuesday to search for ways that New Hampshire, which is
00:06:26.600
94% white, might lure other racial and ethnic groups as well as younger people. The irony is that
00:06:32.000
their own populations are stagnant. These states must look to outsiders if they want to grow.
00:06:38.000
So to restate, according to New York Times and Democrats across New England, the fact that Maine
00:06:44.680
is mostly white has caused an array of problems. It is an issue that needs to be solved as quickly as
00:06:52.140
possible. Now, in any other context, leftists would immediately identify this rhetoric as obviously
00:06:58.940
not only racist, but genocidal and all the rest of it, because it is. But when you're trying to get
00:07:07.440
rid of white people instead of, say, illiterate criminals in Baltimore or Detroit, it's totally
00:07:14.540
fine to talk this way. As long as you're not taking issue with the presence of thousands of
00:07:18.900
fentanyl-addicted, violent black felons like George Floyd in your state, then you're good.
00:07:23.580
So the forcible demographic replacement of whites began. And to add humiliation to injury,
00:07:29.180
white taxpayers, many of them poor, were forced to fund their own replacement. Again, this is from
00:07:34.980
the New York Times, quote, in 2009, refugees accounted for 16% of Lewiston's welfare costs,
00:07:40.760
according to the Lewiston Social Services Department. But in 2010, the city began seeing a
00:07:46.520
steady increase in asylum seekers and welfare costs started climbing. This year, asylum seekers
00:07:51.340
accounted for 37% of the city's welfare costs, while other refugees accounted for 11%.
00:07:57.200
Now, those are from 15 years ago, those numbers. Demographic replacement was only just beginning
00:08:05.140
in Maine. In fact, the governor of Maine, Janet Mills, went on to announce a new Office of New
00:08:11.200
Americans, along with a proclamation that says that she intended to bring 75,000 so-called
00:08:17.800
new Mainers to the state of Maine by 2029. Of course, new Mainers is code for foreign nationals
00:08:25.620
and fake refugees. And in 2019, Mills stated that so-called asylum seekers will be entitled to
00:08:32.760
general assistance, meaning taxpayer-funded welfare. So what's happened in the intervening years as
00:08:41.100
foreigners from the third world have been imported into Maine without interruption on the order of
00:08:46.600
the Democrat Party? Well, let's see. This is from News Nation just a couple of weeks ago.
00:08:53.120
A small community in Maine is calling for accountability tonight after they say money
00:08:58.760
for mass shooting victims instead went to Somali-linked nonprofits. You'll likely recall
00:09:05.320
that in October 2023, 18 people were killed in Lewiston, Maine, when a U.S. Army reservist opened fire
00:09:13.160
at a bowling alley in a bar and grill. In the wake of the shooting, a local nonprofit created a fund
00:09:19.420
promising that 100 percent of the money would go to the victims. Generous donors gave millions of
00:09:25.600
dollars, but a large chunk of that money did not go to victims. That's part of the outrage. Where it
00:09:32.720
ended up is the other part. In the wake of the shooting, a local nonprofit, the Maine Community
00:09:38.100
Foundation, established the Lewiston-Auburn Area Response Fund. We all met in an auditorium in the school,
00:09:45.520
and they told us that night that 100 percent of the funds would go to the victims. And then I got
00:09:51.680
received the email, too, to say that. That email from the Maine Community Foundation says it is,
00:09:56.900
quote, to help ensure survivors and victims know that 100 percent of all donations go to victims,
00:10:02.020
survivors of this tragic event. They kept telling me, if you have anyone who wants to give,
00:10:06.700
give to this because it's 100 percent for the survivors and family members. But a year later,
00:10:11.040
Amy investigated and uncovered that a big chunk of the money raised, $1.9 million,
00:10:16.520
went not to the victims, but to 29 different nonprofits.
00:10:20.900
Nine of the 29 are for immigrants only, nonprofits that serve the immigrant community in the Lewiston,
00:10:28.620
Auburn-Lewiston area. Groups like Empowered Immigrant Women Unite, Generation NOR,
00:10:34.420
New Mainers Public Health Initiative, the Somali Bansu Community Association,
00:10:38.720
and Gateway Community Services, which has been accused of misusing taxpayer funds and,
00:10:44.200
after our reporting, was visited by Homeland Security. Gateway's executive director was on
00:10:49.240
the fund's steering committee, and they received $65,000 from the fund.
00:10:54.880
You probably remember that mass shooting in Maine. We talked about it on the show at the time.
00:10:59.320
The media never told us what drugs the shooter may have been taking, even though there's no
00:11:02.900
conceivable reason to hide that information, other than to appease Big Pharma, which coincidentally
00:11:06.840
buys more media advertising than any other industry on the planet. And at the time, that's what we
00:11:13.000
focused on when we talked about this shooting on the air. Wanted to figure out how it happened and
00:11:18.400
how similar shootings could be prevented in the future. But the Somali community in Maine
00:11:23.100
and the broader network of leftist NGOs that facilitate mass migration, they were not asking
00:11:29.220
those questions. They didn't remotely care about the loss of life that resulted from the mass
00:11:34.100
shooting. They didn't care that 18 people had died, including a 14-year-old and several
00:11:39.040
members of the local deaf community who were playing club cornhole. Instead, without missing
00:11:44.700
a beat, they immediately concocted a multi-million dollar fraud, of course. Within 48 hours, they
00:11:50.380
drew up a scam. And in the end, some of these fake Somali nonprofits made far more money from
00:11:56.140
this fundraiser than the actual survivors of the shooting, who were white. There were no Somalis
00:12:02.580
among the victims. The reason the scam was uncovered is that beginning in February of last
00:12:07.540
year, Edward Tomek and Steve Robinson of The Maine Wire started reporting on where the donations
00:12:12.920
were going. And Robinson reported that the Maine Community Foundation, a nonprofit founded
00:12:17.800
in 1983, launched, quote, two concurrent fundraisers just two days after the mass shooting, October
00:12:23.500
27, 2023. The foundation ultimately raised more than $6 million across two fundraisers, one
00:12:29.720
of which was explicitly earmarked for victims. The other fundraiser was earmarked for Lewiston
00:12:34.680
Auburn Area Broad Recovery and Organizations Fund. The idea was that by donating, you'd help
00:12:40.860
the community recover from the mass shooting. Well, The Maine Wire found that roughly $4.7 million
00:12:47.200
was indeed sent to victims and their families, but nearly $2 million went to immigrant and refugee
00:12:53.160
related nonprofits that have no connection to the shooting whatsoever. And it's clear why this
00:12:58.780
happened. At least four members on the 10-person steering committee on the fund were in turn
00:13:05.580
representatives for organizations that received money from the foundation. And those four members
00:13:12.480
included Mahuddin Liba of the Somali Bantu Community Association, as well as a representative
00:13:20.100
from United Way and Gateway Community Services, which is another Somali nonprofit.
00:13:24.740
Even by the standards of unapologetic, low IQ, Somali fraud, this is truly sociopathic behavior.
00:13:34.700
But the important thing to understand here is that, as in Minneapolis, the Somalis aren't coming
00:13:40.020
up with these schemes on their own. The NGOs and the Democrat Party are all enabling it. And they're
00:13:47.040
doing it because these foreigners are key to their political power. And for one thing, of course,
00:13:53.820
a lot of these illegal aliens vote. Maine Secretary of State Shanna Bellows admitted that just a few
00:13:59.340
months ago. She was on a podcast with Mark Elias, the Democrat operative. And here's what she said.
00:14:06.200
So then you go into the darker motivations. Why would they want a national voter file? Are they
00:14:12.480
on a fishing expedition? Is this a witch hunt to try to find every single potential problem? And guess
00:14:20.180
what? You know, there are duplicates on the voter rolls because people don't tell their clerks when
00:14:24.140
they move. Not duplicate voters, but duplicate registrants sometimes. There may be, I'm sure
00:14:30.400
there are, in some isolated instances, some non-citizens may be on the rolls. And that's what
00:14:36.160
election officials do every day is verify the integrity of the voter rolls.
00:14:40.380
So to repeat, quote, sometimes there may be, I'm sure there are, in some isolated instances,
00:14:46.140
some non-citizens may be on the rolls. But you shouldn't worry about that, according to
00:14:52.540
Shanna Bellows, because Democrats are working very hard to ensure the integrity of our democracy.
00:14:58.320
That's her answer when she's explaining why she doesn't want to turn over Maine's voter
00:15:02.540
rolls to independent investigators for an audit.
00:15:05.340
But wait a minute, how would a single illegal alien ever get on the voter rolls in the first
00:15:12.620
place? Seems like that'd be pretty easy to prevent that from happening. What safeguards
00:15:19.240
does the state of Maine employ to ensure that only American citizens are voting in our elections?
00:15:24.880
And how many illegal aliens have been able to circumvent those safeguards? Well, those are
00:15:31.240
important questions for a secretary of state to address, but for Shanna Bellows, it's no big deal.
00:15:37.500
And we all know why that is. These foreigners voted for Shanna Bellows and her party. That's it.
00:15:44.260
And actually, they do a lot more than that. Again, Steve Robinson, the editor of the Main
00:15:47.320
Wire, who also writes on Substack, has done extraordinary reporting on the relationship
00:15:51.800
between foreign fraudsters and the Democrat Party. And here's what he found, quote,
00:15:56.240
gateway community services founded in 2014 by Somali American refugee Abdullah Ali came under fire
00:16:03.460
last week thanks to whistleblower allegations reported exclusively by the Robinson Report that
00:16:07.560
detailed an elaborate effort to overbuild Medicaid, known in Maine as MaineCare. At the same time the
00:16:13.500
alleged fraud was happening, the Mills administration handed lucrative contracts to Ali's company and
00:16:18.820
related nonprofit, while Ali and a former employee were creating the Community Organizing Alliance,
00:16:23.540
COA, to boost voting for Democrats in migrant neighborhoods. So what happened is that in
00:16:30.440
2018, an audit uncovered that the Somali nonprofit had allegedly overbilled MaineCare by nearly a
00:16:36.500
million dollars from 2015 to 2017. More than 35 percent of their claims to MaineCare supposedly contained
00:16:42.500
errors. These are claims that were made by whistleblowers who worked there. But instead of
00:16:47.020
forcing the nonprofit to return that money, Janet Mills and Democrats have showered them
00:16:52.560
with even more taxpayer cash. Quote, since February 22, from since February 2022, state contract records
00:17:00.280
show Gateway has received nearly three point three million dollars in taxpayer money under agreements
00:17:05.120
with state agencies, including Department of Health and Human Services, the Permanent Commission on the
00:17:09.900
Status of Racial, Indigenous and Tribal Populations, the Department of Education and the Department of
00:17:16.640
For good measure, here's Governor Janet Mills standing alongside Gateway Community Services CEO Abdullah
00:17:24.360
Ali and Eklis Ahmed, a Gateway Community Services employee who now works for the Office of New
00:17:29.520
Americans. And they all look very happy together. Why wouldn't they? They seem to have a mutually beneficial
00:17:37.740
arrangement going on. The Somali nonprofit gets cash and the Democrats get a grassroots operation,
00:17:45.460
grassroots, that churns out votes. Of course, Maine's mostly white population is not benefiting
00:17:51.540
from this arrangement. Instead, in addition to being robbed, they're also losing their cats.
00:17:57.460
This is from late 2024. Bangor Animal Control is continuing to investigate the mysterious disappearance
00:18:02.520
of cats in Bangor's Fairmount neighborhood, with officials saying multiple factors could be
00:18:07.480
responsible for the recent uptick in unexplained vanishing felines, aside from wild predators.
00:18:13.700
Animal Control Officer for the Bangor Police Department, Tricia Bruhn, said on Monday that the recent wave of
00:18:19.920
residents reporting their cats as missing began this summer and is now close to 20 cases. Residents in the
00:18:24.820
neighborhood have been left perplexed by the sudden disappearance of their beloved pets.
00:18:28.800
With some questioning whether wildlife is responsible due to the lack of remains or collars being found.
00:18:36.380
Now, we'll say that those cats, coincidentally enough, disappeared shortly after Catholic
00:18:41.860
charities began settling a bunch of Haitians in Bangor. So, who knows? Who's to say if there's a
00:18:50.040
connection? Could just be a coincidence. For all the attention that's been paid to Minneapolis in
00:18:56.120
recent weeks, it needs to be said that the full-scale assault on white people in Maine, who are being
00:19:02.440
replaced and defrauded at the same time, truly stands apart. But keep in mind, many of the people
00:19:08.980
being defrauded in Maine are poor white people. I mean, this is, again, sociopathic. They're targeting
00:19:16.400
people who are old and poor and white simply because of the fact that they're old and poor and white.
00:19:22.920
And the scale of the theft is staggering. Recently, auditors with the Department of Health
00:19:29.360
and Human Services took a look at claims for reimbursement for autism treatment services that
00:19:33.760
were submitted to the federal government by DHHS, which is the main Department of Health and Human
00:19:38.680
Services. And here's what the inspector general of the federal HHS found. This is from Robinson,
00:19:45.420
quote, a federal report published Thursday threatens to blow yet another hole in the state's budget.
00:19:49.760
The fiscal wreckage of the audit is substantial, with federal auditors estimating that DHHS made at
00:19:55.420
least $45.6 million in improper payments in 2023 alone. Of that total, the feds are demanding that
00:20:02.480
the state refund $28.7 million. The OIG flagged another $22.4 million, $14.2 million federal share as
00:20:11.520
potentially improper, citing documentation so unreliable or incomplete that officials could not
00:20:15.800
verify if the services were actually rendered. Now, just to underscore how guilty Democrats in Maine
00:20:22.560
are, here's an email from a senior appointee of Janet Mills, which was sent to other Democrat staffers
00:20:28.420
in September of 2025. This email is a response to House Republicans' efforts to conduct oversight
00:20:34.100
into Maine's Medicaid spending. And it reads, quote, the goal here is to avoid a congressional subpoena.
00:20:42.940
Yes, they put that in writing. I mean, of all the things to not say in writing,
00:20:48.740
you're putting in writing, hey, we're trying to cover this up. How's the cover-up going?
00:20:55.000
I sure hope nobody finds out about this cover-up that we're doing right now.
00:21:00.860
Their objective is to avoid federal oversight. And put another way, they want to be able to spend
00:21:05.720
millions of dollars of taxpayer money without having to explain where the money is going.
00:21:10.160
This is the position of Maine's entire government. And to illustrate that point some more,
00:21:14.760
here's another email from Maine's Attorney General. This is from January of last year,
00:21:18.920
shortly after Trump took office. Again, it was obtained by the Maine Wire.
00:21:21.660
However, the email reads, quote, all DHHS departments have received a directive from
00:21:26.760
the Office of the Attorney General, OAG, advising staff that if an attorney or anyone else from
00:21:31.580
the Department of Justice or the U.S. Attorney's Office reach out looking to meet or seeking
00:21:35.140
information, staff should not respond. Instead, they should forward the correspondence to their
00:21:39.600
supervisor and the superintendent's office. The superintendent's office will then reach out
00:21:44.620
to the appropriate assistant attorney general to advise. If the communication happens to occur
00:21:49.660
over the phone, staff should tell the individual that they cannot provide information at this time
00:21:53.440
and will need to speak with counsel first. So none of this looks good for Democrats in Maine
00:21:59.420
or the foreigners they're importing. It looks like a lot, a lot like they have a consciousness of guilt.
00:22:05.800
But to be fair, since we're all about fairness on the show, I feel compelled to present the
00:22:11.380
Somali side of the argument here. Here's the response from a woman named Ina Jirdi Inaruti,
00:22:18.400
who really takes Steve Robinson to task. Watch.
00:22:22.160
There's this man called Steve Robinson, and he is an alt-right white neo-Nazi. He's a neo-Nazi.
00:22:32.480
He's a white nationalist who is continuing to target businesses through so-called media, right?
00:22:40.360
They created this platform. They're calling journalism. None of that is journalism.
00:22:49.520
It's all propaganda. They are targeting Somali-owned businesses, immigrant businesses.
00:22:54.760
If you're black, you're being targeted. If you're brown, you're being targeted.
00:22:58.060
They are doxing people, their addresses, their names online.
00:23:03.300
This is what the Somalis learn to do in Minneapolis. They do it in Maine as well.
00:23:06.700
They just accuse you of racism when you point out their rampant fraud.
00:23:12.340
That's their tactic, and they rely on that tactic because it works.
00:23:20.680
And on top of that, this administration needs to recognize the national security implications
00:23:24.360
of what these foreigners are doing. This is not a domestic story solely.
00:23:27.900
These invaders are coming from a foreign country with the intent to defraud us,
00:23:32.460
and then they're sending a lot of that money back to Somalia.
00:23:36.280
We've already talked about Chris Ruffo's reporting about how some of this taxpayer money
00:23:41.700
And as the main wire reports, it's not exactly hard for Somalis to send this money overseas.
00:23:45.680
An investigation into an unassuming office building on Portland's Anderson Street
00:23:50.740
has revealed an interlinked network of lucrative Medicaid agencies
00:23:53.940
co-located with Daba, Shiel, an Emirati money transfer business
00:24:02.100
Main care spending records obtained under the Freedom of Access Act
00:24:05.060
show that the five main care agencies located within the office building
00:24:08.940
at 203 Anderson Street have increased their combined annual billing
00:24:21.200
the largest money transfer business in Africa, founded in Somalia,
00:24:27.300
It allows for the easy transfer of funds back into African nations, including Somalia.
00:24:32.940
Now for Robinson, the solution here is simple. Watch.
00:24:37.860
or the more the law enforcement investigates this,
00:24:41.060
you find more and more these connections to political actors
00:24:47.780
You find more and more that there are high-level political figures in Somalia
00:24:53.140
who are benefiting from this scheme on the money transmission side,
00:24:56.780
they have their own daycares or healthcare businesses in Minnesota or in Maine,
00:25:00.800
and you can't help but view this as a form of nation-building for Somalia,
00:25:06.660
but also economic terrorism against the middle class in Maine, in Minnesota.
00:25:11.980
I think this is economic terrorism, and I think it needs to be treated that way.
00:25:15.580
They are systematically defrauding the American taxpayer at the nation-state level
00:25:21.540
in order to build out their country in Somalia, and it is economic terrorism.
00:25:27.140
And the victims are the people who are dying of overdoses in Lewiston.
00:25:32.940
The victims are the people who those benefits could have been spent on.
00:25:36.940
The victims are the people in northern rural Maine, the working-class people,
00:25:40.860
guys I went to high school with who are seeing, you know, half their paycheck go away in taxes
00:25:45.660
so that Abdullahi Ali can drive a Mercedes and have an estate in Kenya while he's running for warlord of Jubiland.
00:25:54.260
Like, those are the victims of the economic terrorism that the Medicaid fraud is wreaking.
00:25:59.540
And once you start treating it like economic terrorism, it becomes a national security problem.
00:26:04.300
So I think you need to unlock national security-level responses to stop the fraud,
00:26:12.260
And if you're ever going to get some semblance of justice for what's happened here,
00:26:19.540
There has to be a kinetic response to remove this, to stop this.
00:26:22.820
This is the attitude we need to adopt from this moment forward concerning these foreign fraudsters
00:26:28.200
and criminals who are stealing our money, including money that's intended for the victims of mass shootings.
00:26:35.680
They're coming here because they've been aided and abetted by foreign governments
00:26:38.840
that despise this country and white people in general.
00:26:42.320
These foreigners are financially and politically supported by hostile foreign governments
00:26:47.800
because these foreign governments benefit financially from the fraud.
00:26:51.180
Meanwhile, as a result, you won't find Maine on the list of safest places to be anymore.
00:27:00.840
It's more diverse, which the USA Today would celebrate.
00:27:04.900
But it is also, as a consequence, a direct consequence, far more dangerous.
00:27:09.320
Lewiston, the second largest city in Maine, experienced a total of 192 shootings from 2019 to July of 2025,
00:27:20.740
In 2019, there were only 10 shootings and 113 overdoses the whole year.
00:27:27.080
Well, in just the first six months of 2025, there were 20 shootings and 115 overdoses.
00:27:35.380
In other words, the rates of shootings and overdoses have increased exponentially,
00:27:40.760
along with the rate of diversity in Maine, as Janet Mills calls it.
00:27:45.960
It shouldn't fall on an independent journalist like Robinson to uncover what's happening in Maine.
00:27:51.940
This should be one of the highest priorities of the Trump administration.
00:27:54.640
Because the left views Maine as a blueprint for their plan to engineer mass demographic replacement
00:28:01.020
and to cause mass casualties and poverty among white populations.
00:28:07.440
And because they face no resistance whatsoever in Maine,
00:28:10.180
they're going to do the same thing all over the country.
00:28:13.620
Unless the White House goes to war with these people, arrest the fraudsters,
00:28:19.400
punish the foreign governments that are sponsoring this,
00:28:21.680
allow Americans to live in their own country again.
00:28:27.800
And, using the military if needed, force everybody else to live in theirs.
00:28:44.260
You know, I've talked extensively about how porn is crushing the lives of millions of American men.
00:28:48.300
And truth is, if you're looking at porn, you're deceiving your wife, your family, yourself, and your faith.
00:28:53.620
Let's be honest, how many times have you or someone you know said,
00:28:56.700
okay, that was the last time, but then a few days go by and you end up falling back into it again.
00:29:00.820
Well, sadly, a plethora of men fall into this category.
00:29:03.600
And if this is something you struggle with, well, there's a great tool called Relay.
00:29:06.820
Relay is one of the fastest growing apps that therapists and pastors are recommending
00:29:10.100
for thousands of men who are serious about quitting porn.
00:29:15.700
It's an app that forces you to take ownership and personal accountability
00:29:19.380
while leaning on a group and a community of like-minded people for extra support.
00:29:24.260
Relay gives you daily structure and tools based on Christian principles
00:29:30.040
If this is something you're dealing with, my listeners get a seven-day free trial
00:29:33.340
by clicking the link below and using the code WALS.
00:29:36.660
The testimonials for this thing speak for themselves, and that's why I wanted to share this.
00:29:40.160
It's something that is really saving marriages and helping guys break free.
00:29:43.900
So don't wait. Be the man that your wife, your children, and God want you to be.
00:29:53.540
Bill Belichick not voted into the Hall of Fame on the first ballot.
00:29:59.280
No one who watches this show cares about sports or cares about football,
00:30:03.260
or at least they don't want to hear me talk about it, which I've learned.
00:30:06.480
I got to do a whole—I need a whole—what I need in my life is more to do,
00:30:09.200
so I need a whole second show where I just talk about all the things
00:30:12.220
that nobody on this show cares to hear me talk about.
00:30:16.360
And so then it would just—there would be a show with no audience,
00:30:20.440
which would be great, you know, just like—which would really just be football and aliens.
00:30:24.920
It would be—so I need my football and aliens show, a whole separate show.
00:30:29.660
But it is absurd that Bill Belichick—this is the big—if you follow sports,
00:30:33.000
you follow sports commentary, this is the thing everyone's freaking out about today.
00:30:35.700
And, of course, making too big a deal out of it,
00:30:37.840
but it is ridiculous that Bill Belichick, the greatest NFL coach of all time,
00:30:41.820
apparently—they haven't really officially announced it yet,
00:30:44.640
but it leaked to that they will be announcing the Hall of Fame class for this year,
00:30:51.280
He will make it in the future, but he didn't make it on the first ballot.
00:30:54.340
He's been to 12 Super Bowls, if you count, when he was a defensive coordinator as well.
00:31:03.920
went like 17 or 18 years in a row, winning at least 10 games.
00:31:06.880
I mean, just crazy amounts of success and didn't make it into the Hall of Fame.
00:31:12.040
This year, anyway—and this is the same year when Shador—
00:31:15.880
it's the same week, actually, that Shador Sanders is going to be making the Pro Bowl
00:31:19.280
as an alternate, but he's going to be in the Pro Bowl.
00:31:22.220
And, of course, he was drafted in the fifth round last year to the Cleveland Browns.
00:31:27.020
He's like a third stringer, eventually ends up starting
00:31:28.880
basically because of attrition and injuries and stuff like that,
00:31:32.760
and the Cleveland Browns are totally dysfunctional.
00:31:34.620
And he throws 10 interceptions, seven touchdowns.
00:31:39.780
He's like 50% completion percentage or something like that.
00:31:44.540
So it doesn't really matter, but I've been a defender of, as you know,
00:31:50.680
of football and of the NFL, not corporate NFL because corporate NFL is annoying
00:31:57.280
and woke and all the rest of it, but certainly the sport and also the product on the field,
00:32:05.340
But one of my biggest arguments for football and for sports in general,
00:32:14.000
and when you hear, especially conservatives, that say,
00:32:17.560
One of my arguments against that attitude is that, well, number one, sports,
00:32:31.660
So to act like it doesn't matter, I mean, it is similar to saying,
00:32:40.460
That's part of having a thriving, healthy culture.
00:32:46.300
They're the last pure meritocracy, especially football, especially the NFL.
00:32:51.000
In spite of all the wokeness and everything else, when it comes down to it,
00:32:58.020
But these two developments, if they portend that football,
00:33:09.760
well, then one of the primary arguments for it and for following it,
00:33:17.800
So anyway, I'll do 30 minutes on that and some other show that doesn't exist.
00:33:24.820
You know when you can just tell someone put real craftsmanship into a product

00:34:32.520
Ilhan Omar was ranting about ICE at an event last night when she was suddenly sprayed by an unknown,
00:34:42.160
Apparently it was a smelly, some sort of smelly, some sort of unpleasant substance she was sprayed with.
00:35:05.720
And DHS Secretary Kristi Noem must resign or face impeachment.
00:35:27.060
I think at this point we still haven't been told, like I said, what he sprayed her with.
00:35:38.580
But, um, and there's a lot of speculation that this attack was staged.
00:35:44.600
And I, I have no idea if it was or not, or not.
00:35:47.600
I think that's a perfectly reasonable thing to worry about.
00:35:52.960
Okay, this is not like there's a mass shooting and you're saying, oh, it's crisis actors.
00:36:06.780
And we also know that Somalis love to scam and they love to use deception.
00:36:16.180
So in Ilhan's case, well, she's a Somali and a leftist.
00:36:22.560
I think it's very legitimate to worry about that.
00:36:30.460
Now, on the other hand, the thing that points away from a staged event or a hoax is that the guy who did it was arrested.
00:36:44.260
And typically if leftists are going to fake a hate crime or fake an attack of this type, they'll do it in, which they do all the time, but they do it in a way that where the culprit is never seen.
00:36:55.260
You know, uh, it's, it's usually like, oh, if they were going to hoax this, if they were going to fake it, then what you would expect is that we would hear a story from Ilhan Omar about how this, how this happened when she was walking down the street.
00:37:11.880
And maybe she would show us her shirt, which has, uh, the, some sort of liquid on it.
00:37:20.760
And that's all she would really need to do because the media would, would run with it.
00:37:26.400
If you're, if you're a leftist and you want to do a hoax, well, you don't have to try that hard.
00:37:33.620
So all she would need, she wouldn't even need to show us the, the, the shirt with the liquid on it.
00:37:52.020
It was like right in a blind spot with security cameras.
00:38:01.060
Like she could have just said that and the media would totally take it and run with it and it would be fine.
00:38:09.920
The only thing that cuts against it being a hoax is that she wouldn't need to do all this for this kind of hoax.
00:38:15.960
And also because the person is known and they're on camera.
00:38:20.260
Well, if this guy is actually a leftist, then that will be very clear very quickly.
00:38:25.340
So orchestrating a hoax like this on camera with the assailant known and visible and now under arrest would be considerably more brazen than what leftists usually do.
00:38:39.380
Um, now on the other hand, I'm seeing a lot of interesting stuff on social media pointing to this guy, maybe not being a right wing radical.
00:38:48.840
Let's say, let's say, I don't know if any of that is true or not.
00:38:58.600
What I want to point out here though, is the reaction where the media is, they've got their blaring headlines about this.
00:39:08.060
Of course, uh, every prominent Democrat in the country has come out condemning it.
00:39:13.620
AOC and Tim Walz and Chuck Schumer came out right away, calling it a despicable, despicable act.
00:39:20.040
Hakeem Jeffries said he was horrified, horrifying, horrified.
00:39:27.620
Ilhan Omar herself came out an hour or two after this happened and issued a statement where she called herself.
00:39:34.560
If you didn't see this, called herself a survivor.
00:39:48.180
Talking about herself like it was an assassination attempt.
00:39:51.420
You know, now if this liquid was acid or, or, you know, if there was anthrax or something being sprayed on her, then, then I would get it.
00:39:58.960
But that doesn't appear to be the case here, thankfully.
00:40:04.780
And meanwhile, leftists are out in the street every night throwing crap at ICE agents, accosting, assaulting law enforcement, throwing bricks at their head.
00:40:30.100
You think if there was, um, video of a, of a ICE agent getting sprayed with a liquid, which they are, it happens all the time.
00:40:38.520
But you think anyone on the left would say, that's horrifying.
00:40:53.680
No, again, there's video of ICE agents getting, getting, getting bricks thrown at them, cinder blocks.
00:41:11.020
Yet, this is what they see as horrifying and despicable and some kind of great national tragedy.
00:41:22.300
I'll always remember where I was on the night when someone sprayed an unpleasant liquid on Ilhan Omar.
00:41:33.340
I guess that's the point, that whether this was staged or not, and it very well may have not been.
00:41:40.180
I mean, it may have been a thing that just happened.
00:41:48.180
But whether that's the case or not, it's still fake.
00:41:57.680
The, the hand wringing and the panicking over it and the condemnations, it's all fake.
00:42:07.000
There's no way that you could be horrified by a liquid being sprayed on somebody,
00:42:10.520
but not horrified by a guy getting shot in the throat on camera.
00:42:19.260
This episode is sponsored by American Financing.
00:42:21.280
Let's be honest, the math just isn't adding up lately,
00:42:23.560
especially between the grocery store and those skyrocketing insurance premiums.
00:42:27.100
Even with a steady job, more families are being forced to rely on high-interest credit cards to cover expenses.
00:42:32.300
If you're a homeowner caught in that cycle, carrying balances with interest rates in the 20s or even 30s,
00:42:38.660
Right now, mortgage rates are at a three-year low,
00:42:41.040
and my friends at American Financing are helping homeowners pay off that high-interest debt at rates in the low fives.
00:42:47.040
Their salary-based mortgage consultants don't just push loans.
00:42:52.580
On average, they're saving their customers $800 a month.
00:42:55.440
Plus, if you start today, you may even delay the next two mortgage payments.
00:43:00.860
To find out how much you can save, America's home for home loans is American Financing.
00:43:12.280
All right, this is something that is so insane that it's actually hard to believe it's real, but it is real.
00:43:22.660
Rather than read through the whole op-ed, which is quite lengthy,
00:43:24.860
the Post-Millennial has a report about this op-ed.
00:43:28.540
A leftist writer has published a piece in The Nation explaining why she did not report her alleged 2021 gang rape
00:43:36.200
saying that she believes in the abolition of police and prisons.
00:43:40.220
Anna Krauthammer, a writer and doctoral candidate in English literature at Columbia University,
00:43:47.120
I was raped by a group of men during a three-day trip I took to Las Vegas with two of my best friends.
00:43:56.280
I didn't tell anyone who could have done something about it,
00:43:59.140
either such as the hotel staff or the Las Vegas police.
00:44:02.260
The simple answer to the question of why I never reported the rape is that I believe in the abolition of police and prisons.
00:44:07.280
The less simple, less articulate answer is that to pursue prosecuting and potentially incarcerating other people
00:44:15.520
even when they hurt me more than I could have ever believed possible.
00:44:20.820
I can only vocalize what I want in negative and inherently impossible terms.
00:44:24.920
That all I want is for it to never have happened.
00:44:27.980
The prospect of being a participant in other people's incarceration is as alien to me as anything could be,
00:44:33.600
to the point that I could only conceive of it in childish terms.
00:44:37.400
How silly and strange it would be to have a group of people incarcerated at my expense,
00:44:41.340
when doing so would do nothing to fix the damage they have already so thoroughly done.
00:44:47.400
She said that she has long believed in and used the term prison abolition,
00:44:50.540
but has felt in my bones that I could never participate in any chain of events that might send someone to prison for longer.
00:44:57.740
Okay, now, I have to say, of course, speaking of hoaxes,
00:45:04.180
that there's always the very distinct possibility that this crime never occurred,
00:45:11.600
One way to explain how this woman could be brutalized by multiple men all night
00:45:16.480
and then not call the cops is that it didn't happen.
00:45:21.200
So, obviously, she hasn't provided any evidence that would say that it's happened.
00:45:30.600
We know that leftist women lie about basically everything all the time
00:45:37.700
So, there's just no reason to believe anything that they say.
00:45:42.880
But in this case, assuming it didn't happen would be doing her a favor.
00:45:51.440
Because the other interpretation is that it did happen
00:46:06.760
for anyone else that they victimize in the future.
00:46:13.240
to have a group of people incarcerated at my expense
00:46:15.000
when doing so would do nothing to fix the damage
00:46:20.500
Well, yeah, Anna, it won't fix what happened to you exactly,
00:46:30.580
But that doesn't enter into your calculus at all.
00:46:35.300
makes you almost as evil as the predators themselves.
00:46:52.880
and she still believes that the assailants should be free,
00:46:57.800
that they should suffer no consequences at all.
00:47:00.140
And I don't have to explain why that is crazy and wrong.
00:47:12.220
rather than letting them run around outside free,
00:47:16.880
I don't need to explain that prison, for one thing,
00:47:21.760
It's how we defend innocent people and ourselves
00:47:28.620
You need to punish evil because that is justice.
00:47:42.480
Now, in many cases, evil people don't respond to incentives
00:47:46.440
and don't respond to it the way normal people do.
00:47:49.480
But even so, without prison, if you're an evil scumbag,
00:48:03.260
The problem is that the point of view that Anna is expressing
00:48:11.100
Now, the difference is that most leftists make an exception for crimes
00:48:16.820
that where they themselves are the victims or might be the victims.
00:48:20.740
So, usually, they're in favor of prison abolition,
00:48:23.300
except in cases where their own lives are personally jeopardized
00:48:29.240
But aside from that, this is a mainstream view.
00:48:31.900
This is mainstream on the left, especially in the, you know, kind of
00:48:36.820
academia and in people who are the supposedly highly educated leftists
00:48:48.660
I mean, there are judges and DAs across the country
00:48:53.460
And it's a point of view that it's a point of view.
00:48:59.520
Well, I don't know how else to put it aside from we cannot share a civilization
00:49:06.620
We cannot share a country with people like this.
00:49:09.660
You know, this is a point of view that you either condemn and exclude and ostracize
00:49:17.500
or it eats away at the pillars that are holding up the whole structure of civilization
00:49:26.960
I mean, this is the most frustrating thing about modern leftism,
00:49:30.580
which is to even debate what these people believe is to go backwards.
00:49:35.620
It's to go back and debate stuff that human beings already figured out 10,000 years ago.
00:49:45.760
It's like the year 2026, we should be talking about how to get to Mars or whatever.
00:49:50.120
Instead, we have to debate whether dangerous people should go to prison.
00:49:56.240
This is literally something that human beings figured out, you know, a thousand centuries ago.
00:50:10.140
Go back to the year like 9,000 BC and have that debate.
00:50:21.760
I mean, we have to debate whether families are good.
00:50:44.740
We had to waste five years debating whether men can have, whether men can have babies.
00:50:55.440
And this is why, honestly, I've just, I've kind of soured on the idea of debate at this point.
00:51:08.500
Should we debate whether gang rapists should be in prison?
00:51:18.200
Should we just let violent criminals, like, just do whatever they want?
00:51:21.340
Should we just, should we open the prison gates and let them all out?
00:51:28.880
Anyone who's on, like, there are certain things that are just absolutely fundamental
00:51:43.360
And so really, these are the questions they're asking.
00:51:45.960
What they want us to debate is whether or not we should have a civilization.
00:51:49.300
And that is not a question that is worth arguing about.
00:51:53.320
Okay, if you don't understand why it's good to have a civilization,
00:51:58.740
why civilization is better than the alternative,
00:52:02.300
then you're just not fit to be a part of civilization.
00:52:05.520
This is not like, we don't have to explain this to you.
00:52:10.180
I'm not going to go back 10,000 years to debate whether the basic pillars of civilization are good
00:52:14.980
or whether we should just pull the whole thing down, you know, like Samson,
00:52:23.320
And anyone with that view, what we should just do is mock and ostracize them
00:52:29.260
and shout them down and laugh them off the stage.
00:52:37.140
There are some points of view that are not worthy of discussion.
00:52:43.560
And this is why, you know, I know this is controversial to some people, but this is why it was a catastrophic mistake to extend voting rights universally to everybody.
00:52:56.360
And to get everybody involved in the political process, let's get everybody involved.
00:53:05.720
Like this woman who wrote this should not be able to vote.
00:53:12.960
You should not be a part of any kind of political process.
00:53:16.300
You shouldn't have any say in the way society is run whatsoever.
00:53:34.700
Like there are opinions that are just not valid, not worthy of discussion.
00:53:40.260
It's why we need to have a system in place for filtering out the dumbest, most useless, most deranged people from being able to vote.
00:53:51.800
At a certain point, you know, do we want to have a country or not?
00:53:55.740
Because if people like this are able to help steal the ship, steer the ship, then we're just not going to have a country.
00:54:02.360
And these are people who don't want us to have a country.
00:54:14.180
You know, not the voice that says, maybe we shouldn't have prisons.
00:54:18.080
Maybe we should just let the rapists out on the street.
00:54:24.960
That is not a point of view that calls for you to sit down and say, hmm.
00:54:36.160
If somebody comes and says, hey, maybe we should all take knives and stab them into our own heads.
00:54:46.960
What if we all just stabbed ourselves in the heads together?
00:54:50.360
Are you going to sit down and say, look, let's have a debate.
00:54:55.360
I'm on the don't stab ourselves in the head and you're on the we should do it.
00:55:01.060
Let's, you know, I get 10 minutes for an opening statement.
00:55:06.460
No, somebody says that and you say, OK, well, you're not like you should stop talking.
00:55:23.520
All you like you literally just shout them off the stage.
00:55:32.080
It's just utterly insane, poisonous ideas that are expressly intended to destroy civilization.
00:55:44.040
And we all have to sit around taking them seriously.
00:55:49.940

All right, finally, there's a new ad from the pharmaceutical company Eli Lilly, and they ran this during the football games this past weekend during the conference championships.
00:57:23.480
And some people on social media are saying that it's a great, inspiring ad.
00:57:28.540
Other people on social media, on the other hand, though, are not retarded.
00:57:47.040
You think I need to hear about your workout routine?
00:57:55.220
No matter what I do, you're going to have your own thoughts.
00:58:03.580
And while you're in the comments section, I'll be focusing on what really matters.
00:58:08.860
Like how I feel when I'm waking up in the morning.
00:58:35.380
My body is nobody's business but mine, he says, which is why he's making an advertisement talking about his body.
00:58:47.200
So the point is to get you to buy their weight loss drug.
00:58:49.440
It's posing as a kind of body positivity message.
00:58:51.900
But really, they don't want you to be positive about your body.
00:58:57.000
So it's not even really about body acceptance, as dumb as that idea is.
00:59:02.820
There's another thing that leftism has us wasting time debating.
00:59:09.460
Is it better to not be fat as opposed to being fat?
00:59:15.580
That's another one we're supposed to be debating.
00:59:45.940
Look, I don't think that fat people are inherently dishonest or anything, but our culture has encouraged fat people to be liars.
01:00:04.080
It encourages fat people to lie to themselves and to everybody else all the time.
01:00:23.080
Okay, you obviously, one of your, one of your, we all are sinners.
01:00:31.220
But one of your sins you are wearing on your body in the form of all the lard.
01:00:35.960
You have, you struggle with the sin of gluttony.
01:00:39.340
You don't need to add the sin of lying on top of it.
01:00:47.280
Every, and every, like so many fat people do this.
01:01:01.600
Every fat person who claims they diet all the time and the diets don't work.
01:01:14.060
There's no such thing really as a diet not working.
01:01:17.040
Unless, okay, unless your, your idea of dieting is to strictly consume candy and soda.
01:01:22.860
If you have, if you're on the Will Ferrell diet from Elf, then okay, if that's not going
01:01:29.240
to work in a sense of, it's not going to make you skinnier.
01:01:31.820
But if you're on an actual diet where you consume fewer calories than you burn, um, then, then
01:01:41.080
there's no way you could be on that kind of diet for like 20 years and still be enormously
01:01:52.180
I've been burning more calories than I've consumed for 20 years and somehow I haven't
01:02:10.860
You have fat people going around saying, I don't know what's going on.
01:02:14.080
I've tried every diet under the sun and I've tried exercising and it just doesn't work.
01:02:23.460
It doesn't, it's not possible that it doesn't work.
01:02:33.480
Like in the cartoon, you run out across the cliff and you don't fall until you notice that
01:02:41.340
You, you run out, you're running on thin air and then somebody taps you on the shoulder
01:03:01.300
You, you, you, maybe for 20 years you've dieted for like a day at a time and then you stop
01:03:11.780
You have not been dieting that whole time, obviously.
01:03:15.920
And every single person who's not fat, it's like, you could look at someone.
01:03:21.960
I'm not saying I'm the perfect picture of, uh, of fitness, but I'm not fat.
01:03:28.180
And do you know how that, it's not, it's not like dumb luck.
01:03:38.400
But, you know, I get a fair amount of exercise and that's how, that's how I'm not fat.
01:03:43.100
My diet is not great, but I have to compensate for that.
01:03:49.340
I'm certainly not going to claim that I have the best diet in the world.
01:03:53.500
Definitely not the best, but I compensate for that.
01:03:58.780
And so I've kind of like, you know, it is what it is.
01:04:02.500
Um, and you could, you could do that, but you don't want to because it's takes effort.
01:04:11.080
I'm not one of these people that, you know, they, they just love working out.
01:04:16.680
And they could be in the gym for three hours a day.
01:04:18.400
If you, if you let them, I'm not that I don't really enjoy it.
01:04:23.900
It's, it's, I'd much rather not be doing it because it's, it's just, I'm busy and I
01:04:29.080
got a lot of kids and life and all these kinds of things.
01:04:31.740
Like the rarely do I find myself just lounging on the couch or something.
01:04:39.940
No, but I do it because I don't want to be an enormous lard ass.
01:04:47.980
If, if you want something, you have to put in some effort to achieve it.
01:04:52.000
And if you have not achieved this thing, especially something that is very, very easily, very
01:04:57.900
possibly achievable for everybody, it's because you haven't put in the effort.
01:05:08.520
I wouldn't be saying any of this if, if not for the lies, I just can't take the lies
01:05:12.880
It's not, I'm not, I have no desire to run up to fat people and say, Hey, you're lazy and
01:05:17.220
you eat too much, even though that does apply to literally a hundred percent of fat people.
01:05:22.580
If you're fat, it's because you're lazy and you eat too much.
01:05:27.880
But I'm not going to go around saying that I have no desire to be mean to people unless
01:05:35.100
But once you start lying, that's what I can't, I don't like liars.
01:05:39.520
And, uh, and then when we start hearing the lies, especially in the self, like in the
01:05:47.320
It's got this scolding, the scolding self-righteous tone from this fat guy.
01:05:58.180
Uh, when that happens, then I feel like, well, if you're an honest person, you have no choice
01:06:03.880
but to go up to him and say, uh, no, you're lazy and you eat too much.
01:06:21.260
I'd have, I'd have some respect for an honest fat person.
01:06:28.620
I just don't, I put in effort other places in my life, but this, I just don't put in
01:06:38.100
It's the lies that I cannot, uh, cannot tolerate.
01:06:47.600
What was it like, Merlin, to be alone with God?
01:07:13.600
I am yet convinced that he was not of this world.
01:08:04.580
Fate of Britain never rests in the hands of the great light.
01:08:25.120
How many lives must be lost before you accept the power you were born to wield?
01:08:32.880
Circling to the promises of a god who has abandoned you.
