The Matt Walsh Show - Ep. 1724 - The Somali Fraud In Minnesota Is Just The Tip Of The Iceberg. This State Is Even WORSE.

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

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.

00:01:22.460 Now streaming only on Daily Wire Plus.

00:01:26.460 Today on the Matt Walsh Show, we've heard quite a bit about the Somali invasion of Minnesota, 1.00

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 1.00

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% 0.72

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 1.00

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 1.00

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 0.82

00:05:26.200 that all of the FBI crime statistics are true. Non-white people commit an overwhelming, staggering 1.00

00:05:33.060 amount of serious crime in this country. And therefore, in a state with only white people, 0.99

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 1.00

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 0.99

00:07:14.540 fine to talk this way. As long as you're not taking issue with the presence of thousands of 0.95

00:07:18.900 fentanyl-addicted, violent black felons like George Floyd in your state, then you're good. 1.00

00:07:23.580 So the forcible demographic replacement of whites began. And to add humiliation to injury, 0.99

00:07:29.180 white taxpayers, many of them poor, were forced to fund their own replacement. Again, this is from 0.95

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 1.00

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 0.67

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 1.00

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 0.94

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 0.52

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 0.99

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. 1.00

00:13:34.700 But the important thing to understand here is that, as in Minneapolis, the Somalis aren't coming 1.00

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.

00:14:05.360 Watch.

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 1.00

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 0.99

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. 0.98

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 1.00

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

00:17:15.100 Economic and Community Development.

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 0.91

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 0.99

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 0.98

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. 0.98

00:19:22.920 And the scale of the theft is staggering. Recently, auditors with the Department of Health 0.83

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. 0.99

00:22:32.480 He's a white nationalist who is continuing to target businesses through so-called media, right? 0.96

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. 0.97

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.

00:23:18.400 And that needs to change.

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, 1.00

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

00:23:39.440 is ending up in the hands of terrorists.

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

00:23:59.580 favored by the Central Bank of Somalia.

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

00:24:12.740 from $900,000 in 2019 to $4 million in 2024.

00:24:17.820 The building houses a branch of Dahabashil,

00:24:21.200 the largest money transfer business in Africa, founded in Somalia,

00:24:24.960 and now based in the UAE.

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.

00:24:36.000 The more you investigate this as a journalist,

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

00:24:44.460 in Somalia or Central Africa.

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. 0.54

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,

00:26:10.460 to prevent it from happening in the future.

00:26:12.260 And if you're ever going to get some semblance of justice for what's happened here,

00:26:16.760 it has to be at the national security level.

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 1.00

00:26:28.200 and criminals who are stealing our money, including money that's intended for the victims of mass shootings.

00:26:33.200 They aren't coming here by themselves.

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 1.00

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.

00:26:58.500 So mission accomplished.

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,

00:27:16.720 along with 1,500 drug overdoses.

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. 0.84

00:28:27.800 And, using the military if needed, force everybody else to live in theirs. 0.80

00:28:35.040 Now let's get to our five headlines.

00:28:42.280 This episode is sponsored by Relay.

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.

00:29:12.940 Let me be clear, though.

00:29:14.120 This is not a therapy app.

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

00:29:28.140 to help you overcome the addiction.

00:29:51.640 All right.

00:29:53.540 Bill Belichick not voted into the Hall of Fame on the first ballot.

00:29:58.460 I'm not going to get into it.

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,

00:30:49.360 and Bill Belichick did not make it.

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.

00:31:00.580 He won eight of them, won six as a head coach,

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— 0.76

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.

00:31:42.500 Not a good year, and he's in the Pro Bowl.

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,

00:32:02.860 I'm a defender of.

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,

00:32:15.920 oh, sports ball, who cares about it?

00:32:17.560 One of my arguments against that attitude is that, well, number one, sports,

00:32:23.420 that's part of culture.

00:32:24.860 It's an important part of culture.

00:32:26.120 Every culture through history has had sports.

00:32:29.040 And so it's an important aspect of culture.

00:32:31.660 So to act like it doesn't matter, I mean, it is similar to saying,

00:32:34.840 well, art, who needs art? 1.00

00:32:36.560 Silly. 0.99

00:32:37.900 There's bad art. 0.99

00:32:38.860 There's plenty of bad art, but you need it.

00:32:40.460 That's part of having a thriving, healthy culture.

00:32:42.900 But also sports are a meritocracy.

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,

00:32:54.080 it's still a meritocracy.

00:32:55.840 It's still did you earn it or not.

00:32:58.020 But these two developments, if they portend that football,

00:33:05.940 the NFL is officially getting away from that,

00:33:07.760 where it's not a meritocracy anymore at all,

00:33:09.760 well, then one of the primary arguments for it and for following it,

00:33:15.740 I think, goes away.

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

00:33:28.040 rather than shipping some cheaply made junk from China?

00:33:31.380 Real quality is exactly what you get with bowl and branches bedding.

00:33:34.580 Bowl and branches, signature sheets, and waffle bed blanket

00:33:37.360 are the bedding essentials you need.

00:33:38.980 The signature sheets deliver that buttery soft feel that actually gets better

00:33:43.240 with every wash, while the waffle blanket adds soft, springy warmth without any weight.

00:33:48.240 Together, they create a breathable sleep experience that works season after season.

00:33:52.060 Both are crafted by artisans using 100% organic cotton,

00:33:55.140 loved by millions of sleepers, and designed to layer without overheating your bed.

00:34:03.120 and you can try them risk-free with a 30-night worry-free guarantee.

00:34:06.360 My wife and I have had their signature sheets on our bed for a while now,

00:34:09.880 and honestly, they're worth it.

00:34:11.380 I was skeptical of the idea that they get softer with every wash, but time is proving wrong.

00:34:15.220 They really are phenomenal quality and comfort combined.

00:34:32.520 Ilhan Omar was ranting about ICE at an event last night when she was suddenly sprayed by an unknown,

00:34:40.200 I think at this point still unknown substance.

00:34:42.160 Apparently it was a smelly, some sort of smelly, some sort of unpleasant substance she was sprayed with. 0.68

00:34:48.680 Here's that moment.

00:34:49.880 Watch.

00:34:50.100 Abolishment of the agency.

00:34:53.640 ICE cannot be reformed. 0.75

00:34:55.440 It cannot be rehabilitated.

00:34:57.500 We must abolish ICE for good.

00:35:05.720 And DHS Secretary Kristi Noem must resign or face impeachment.

00:35:11.720 All right, so the guy was arrested.

00:35:27.060 I think at this point we still haven't been told, like I said, what he sprayed her with.

00:35:32.120 We don't know.

00:35:34.020 He had a syringe and it sprayed her.

00:35:36.400 I don't think it hit her in the face.

00:35:37.400 It hit her like in her shirt.

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.

00:35:50.200 You don't have to be a conspiracy theorist.

00:35:52.960 Okay, this is not like there's a mass shooting and you're saying, oh, it's crisis actors.

00:35:56.880 It was all a hoax.

00:35:58.920 Okay, this is not, not that.

00:36:00.620 This is leftists are constantly using hoaxes.

00:36:05.980 We know that.

00:36:06.780 And we also know that Somalis love to scam and they love to use deception. 1.00

00:36:12.980 Uh, they're notorious scam artists. 0.99

00:36:14.760 They just are.

00:36:16.180 So in Ilhan's case, well, she's a Somali and a leftist. 0.58

00:36:20.000 So the pattern points in a certain direction.

00:36:22.560 I think it's very legitimate to worry about that.

00:36:25.580 Um, or to wonder about it.

00:36:28.520 Very legitimate to wonder 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.

00:36:38.860 And his case, his face was clearly visible.

00:36:42.080 His identity is known.

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.

00:37:18.180 And she'd have this whole story.

00:37:20.760 And that's all she would really need to do because the media would, would run with it. 0.89

00:37:25.800 That's the thing.

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.

00:37:31.140 The media will go with it.

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.

00:37:38.380 She could just say, oh, this happened.

00:37:40.140 Did anyone see it happen?

00:37:42.360 Oh, no, I was totally alone.

00:37:44.420 You didn't have security.

00:37:45.460 No, they were, they were in the bathroom.

00:37:48.420 Was there security cameras around?

00:37:50.000 No, no, I was in, I just so happened.

00:37:51.440 I was walking down the street.

00:37:52.020 It was like right in a blind spot with security cameras.

00:37:54.780 Was it, did anyone see it?

00:37:55.880 Did anyone have a cell phone?

00:37:56.780 And they got it?

00:37:57.220 No, I didn't.

00:37:57.760 Did you get it on your cell phone?

00:37:58.900 No, I might not have my cell phone on me.

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.

00:38:07.080 Um, so that's one thing.

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.

00:38:51.640 None of it's confirmed.

00:38:52.620 So I can't report it as fact.

00:38:54.580 Uh, I don't know.

00:38:55.800 Uh, I I'm open to either possibility.

00:38:57.800 I just don't know.

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.

00:39:07.240 They're condemning it.

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.

00:39:25.240 Uh, every Democrat is condemning it.

00:39:27.620 Ilhan Omar herself came out an hour or two after this happened and issued a statement where she called herself.

00:39:33.200 I'm not kidding.

00:39:34.560 If you didn't see this, called herself a survivor.

00:39:38.060 She's a survivor.

00:39:41.740 Yeah.

00:39:42.220 She's a survivor of a liquid.

00:39:44.120 She's a survivor of a stain on her shirt. 0.69

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.

00:40:03.180 But this is the predictable reaction. 0.98

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. 0.98

00:40:17.600 Nobody on the left condemns that. 0.97

00:40:22.880 Has Ilhan Omar condemned that?

00:40:26.100 They excuse it.

00:40:27.720 They encourage it.

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.

00:40:43.640 You sprayed him with a liquid?

00:40:46.360 Horrifying.

00:40:47.200 I'm hard.

00:40:47.640 I won't be able to sleep tonight.

00:40:49.520 I'll be tossing and turning.

00:40:50.740 I'll have nightmares.

00:40:52.480 You think they would say that?

00:40:53.680 No, again, there's video of ICE agents getting, getting, getting bricks thrown at them, cinder blocks.

00:41:02.820 They're not horrified by that.

00:41:05.560 Charlie Kirk was shot and killed.

00:41:07.900 And as we know, they celebrated.

00:41:11.020 Yet, this is what they see as horrifying and despicable and some kind of great national tragedy.

00:41:16.680 We'll all remember where we were.

00:41:19.980 I'll never forget.

00:41:22.300 I'll always remember where I was on the night when someone sprayed an unpleasant liquid on Ilhan Omar.

00:41:28.960 What a tragedy.

00:41:31.500 So, it's all fake.

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. 0.81

00:41:41.860 This was a crazy guy who did a thing.

00:41:43.200 Um, it, it, that's possible.

00:41:48.180 But whether that's the case or not, it's still fake.

00:41:50.760 This is all fake.

00:41:53.340 The whole thing is still fake, no matter what.

00:41:57.680 The, the hand wringing and the panicking over it and the condemnations, it's all fake.

00:42:03.560 You don't mean it.

00:42:05.040 Like, you can't actually be horrified.

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.

00:42:17.180 So, it's all fake.

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,

00:42:37.140 it's time to get some relief.

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.

00:42:50.160 They build exit strategies from debt.

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.

00:43:12.280 All right, this is something that is so insane that it's actually hard to believe it's real, but it is real.

00:43:19.800 And I'm just going to read.

00:43:21.260 This is an op-ed.

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.

00:43:28.220 It says,

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

00:43:34.080 at the hands of six men in Las Vegas,

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,

00:43:44.760 wrote that in June of 2021,

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.

00:43:51.320 Of the rape, which lasted all night,

00:43:52.740 I remember both too much and too little.

00:43:55.100 I never did anything about it.

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

00:44:13.480 is inconceivable to me,

00:44:15.520 even when they hurt me more than I could have ever believed possible.

00:44:20.020 Because of this,

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. 0.82

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,

00:45:07.880 that she made it up.

00:45:10.180 I mean, we don't know.

00:45:11.600 One way to explain how this woman could be brutalized by multiple men all night 1.00

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.

00:45:26.920 So, we can't be sure that it did.

00:45:30.600 We know that leftist women lie about basically everything all the time 1.00

00:45:34.860 and they have no moral conscience.

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.

00:45:49.240 That's the more flattering interpretation.

00:45:51.440 Because the other interpretation is that it did happen

00:45:54.740 and now there are brutal, violent predators

00:45:59.100 out in the world

00:46:01.220 who this woman refuses to have locked up.

00:46:04.660 Which makes her entirely morally culpable

00:46:06.760 for anyone else that they victimize in the future.

00:46:09.400 You know, she says, 0.93

00:46:12.280 how silly and strange it would be 0.95

00:46:13.240 to have a group of people incarcerated at my expense 0.94

00:46:15.000 when doing so would do nothing to fix the damage

00:46:17.040 they have already so thoroughly done.

00:46:20.500 Well, yeah, Anna, it won't fix what happened to you exactly,

00:46:23.880 but it could help the next potential victim.

00:46:27.740 There's always that.

00:46:30.580 But that doesn't enter into your calculus at all.

00:46:32.660 Which, as far as I'm concerned,

00:46:35.300 makes you almost as evil as the predators themselves.

00:46:40.860 If this even happened, which, who knows.

00:46:43.000 But, I mean, let's just go with that for now.

00:46:44.500 Let's assume that it did happen.

00:46:47.680 Okay, well, that means that this woman

00:46:49.020 was horrifically assaulted, savagely attacked,

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.

00:47:04.580 I know I don't have to waste time

00:47:06.020 arguing to anyone watching this show

00:47:08.880 why it's a good idea to put rapists in prison

00:47:12.220 rather than letting them run around outside free, 0.98

00:47:15.120 raping more people. 0.96

00:47:16.880 I don't need to explain that prison, for one thing,

00:47:19.440 is a form of societal self-defense.

00:47:21.760 It's how we defend innocent people and ourselves

00:47:24.100 from violent criminals.

00:47:26.840 And for another, it is punishment.

00:47:28.620 You need to punish evil because that is justice.

00:47:31.920 A society that does not punish evil

00:47:33.540 is a society that does not have justice.

00:47:37.340 And for another, it disincentivizes

00:47:40.340 future criminal activity.

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. 1.00

00:47:49.480 But even so, without prison, if you're an evil scumbag, 0.99

00:47:52.160 there is no incentive to not run around 1.00

00:47:55.500 doing whatever you want.

00:47:57.300 So, all of that is obvious.

00:48:03.260 The problem is that the point of view that Anna is expressing

00:48:06.520 is, for the most part, mainstream on the left.

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

00:48:27.620 or affected in some way.

00:48:29.240 But aside from that, this is a mainstream view.

00:48:31.400 It just is.

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

00:48:43.340 as this woman is.

00:48:44.820 And we're experiencing the consequences.

00:48:48.660 I mean, there are judges and DAs across the country

00:48:50.780 who basically have this same point of view.

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

00:49:03.720 with people like this.

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

00:49:23.420 and everything comes tumbling down.

00:49:25.640 Even debating this.

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.

00:49:45.140 Okay.

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.

00:50:05.620 We're way, way past that.

00:50:09.260 Okay.

00:50:10.140 Go back to the year like 9,000 BC and have that debate.

00:50:18.680 And this is what they do with everything.

00:50:21.060 Right?

00:50:21.760 I mean, we have to debate whether families are good.

00:50:26.760 Is it good to have a family?

00:50:28.940 Is it good to have kids?

00:50:32.420 Is it good for society to continue to exist? 1.00

00:50:37.440 Is it, is it, should we kill babies? 0.99

00:50:41.680 Is marriage good? 1.00

00:50:44.740 We had to waste five years debating whether men can have, whether men can have babies. 1.00

00:50:50.080 Do women have penises? 1.00

00:50:53.360 And on and on. 0.99

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.

00:51:01.040 I got to be honest with you.

00:51:03.880 Like, you want me to debate this?

00:51:07.100 Should we have a debate about this?

00:51:08.500 Should we debate whether gang rapists should be in prison?

00:51:11.640 Should we abolish prisons?

00:51:13.480 Like, we're going to have a debate about that?

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? 0.91

00:51:28.360 Debate it?

00:51:28.880 Anyone who's on, like, there are certain things that are just absolutely fundamental

00:51:37.700 if you want to have a civilization at all.

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,

00:52:18.720 and bury ourselves under the rubble.

00:52:21.540 I'm not debating that.

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.

00:52:33.200 I mean, really.

00:52:35.380 That's all you can do.

00:52:37.140 There are some points of view that are not worthy of discussion.

00:52:42.700 Just not.

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.

00:53:00.860 Everyone should have a say.

00:53:03.800 No, everyone should not have a say.

00:53:05.720 Like this woman who wrote this should not be able to vote. 1.00

00:53:09.520 She should.

00:53:10.140 You should not be able to vote.

00:53:11.360 You're not fit.

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. 0.57

00:53:21.880 You're a barbarian. 1.00

00:53:23.060 You're a lunatic. 1.00

00:53:24.240 You're psychotic. 1.00

00:53:26.840 You're deranged. 1.00

00:53:27.980 I mean, your opinion is not valid. 0.95

00:53:31.640 You know, every opinion is valid.

00:53:34.160 No, it's not.

00:53:34.700 Like there are opinions that are just not valid, not worthy of discussion. 0.99

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. 0.98

00:53:47.280 I know it's never going to happen. 0.99

00:53:50.320 But.

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.

00:54:01.420 Which is what they want.

00:54:02.360 And these are people who don't want us to have a country.

00:54:07.520 And we have this idea that, you know.

00:54:10.440 Everyone's voice should be heard.

00:54:11.800 Every point of view should be included.

00:54:13.220 No.

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. 1.00

00:54:21.480 What do you say, guys?

00:54:24.960 That is not a point of view that calls for you to sit down and say, hmm.

00:54:28.500 That's a.

00:54:29.420 OK, let's talk about that.

00:54:31.200 Hmm.

00:54:31.440 OK, let's have a debate. 1.00

00:54:36.160 If somebody comes and says, hey, maybe we should all take knives and stab them into our own heads. 1.00

00:54:46.960 What if we all just stabbed ourselves in the heads together? 0.99

00:54:50.360 Are you going to sit down and say, look, let's have a debate. 0.77

00:54:55.360 I'm on the don't stab ourselves in the head and you're on the we should do it.

00:54:59.140 Let's sit down and have this out.

00:55:01.060 Let's, you know, I get 10 minutes for an opening statement.

00:55:04.140 You get 10 minutes.

00:55:05.080 Let's have a debate.

00:55:05.880 Let's do it.

00:55:06.460 No, somebody says that and you say, OK, well, you're not like you should stop talking.

00:55:13.180 You shouldn't be able to vote.

00:55:14.620 You shouldn't have any say over anything.

00:55:16.040 You shouldn't be able to drive.

00:55:17.720 You're not fit to be a part of human society.

00:55:20.800 Someone has a point of view like that.

00:55:23.220 Yeah.

00:55:23.520 All you like you literally just shout them off the stage.

00:55:25.800 Like, get out of here.

00:55:26.560 We're not.

00:55:26.900 What are you? 1.00

00:55:27.260 You're insane. 1.00

00:55:30.120 And that is so much of leftism. 1.00

00:55:32.080 It's just utterly insane, poisonous ideas that are expressly intended to destroy civilization.

00:55:42.080 I mean, that's what they want to do.

00:55:44.040 And we all have to sit around taking them seriously.

00:57:10.840 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. 1.00

00:57:32.400 So here it is.

00:57:35.120 Come on.

00:57:37.500 Let's hear it.

00:57:39.060 You think I need your advice.

00:57:41.660 You think I should go on a diet.

00:57:43.200 But I've been dieting since I was 12.

00:57:47.040 You think I need to hear about your workout routine?

00:57:53.680 You don't stop to ask about mine.

00:57:55.220 No matter what I do, you're going to have your own thoughts.

00:58:01.160 So get it all out.

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.

00:58:12.700 Like showing up for people I love.

00:58:14.560 My health is my focus.

00:58:18.780 And my body is nobody's business but mine.

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.

00:58:45.240 And this, of course, is a big pharma ad.

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.

00:58:55.020 They want you to take the drug. 0.98

00:58:57.000 So it's not even really about body acceptance, as dumb as that idea is. 0.97

00:59:02.820 There's another thing that leftism has us wasting time debating. 0.98

00:59:05.940 Is it good to be fat?

00:59:07.760 Should people be fat?

00:59:09.460 Is it better to not be fat as opposed to being fat?

00:59:14.560 There's another thing.

00:59:15.580 That's another one we're supposed to be debating.

00:59:17.680 Let's have a healthy debate.

00:59:19.140 Let's have an exchange of ideas.

00:59:22.540 This person is 400 pounds morbidly obese.

00:59:27.200 Is that bad?

00:59:28.820 Is that a bad thing?

00:59:32.620 Got to hear all views are valid.

00:59:36.700 Got to listen to everybody.

00:59:38.020 Anyway, this is also just more lies. 0.99

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. 0.92

00:59:56.540 I'm not saying they all are. 0.98

00:59:57.860 I'm not saying if you're fat, you're a liar.

00:59:59.060 But the problem is the culture encourages it. 0.98

01:00:04.080 It encourages fat people to lie to themselves and to everybody else all the time.

01:00:10.020 And that's all this ad is, right? 0.68

01:00:12.480 It's all the lies we always hear.

01:00:14.740 He says, you think I should go on a diet?

01:00:16.580 Well, I've been dieting since I was 12.

01:00:18.480 No, you haven't.

01:00:20.180 No, you haven't, bud. 1.00

01:00:21.220 You're a liar. 1.00

01:00:22.440 Stop lying. 1.00

01:00:23.080 Okay, you obviously, one of your, one of your, we all are sinners.

01:00:28.440 None of us, we all fall short.

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.

01:00:38.320 Okay.

01:00:39.340 You don't need to add the sin of lying on top of it. 1.00

01:00:44.880 You're a liar. 1.00

01:00:47.280 Every, and every, like so many fat people do this. 1.00

01:00:50.260 They say, I've been dieting my whole life.

01:00:51.800 No, you haven't.

01:00:53.080 No, you haven't.

01:00:54.880 Stop lying. 1.00

01:00:56.600 You are a liar. 1.00

01:00:58.120 Stop it. 1.00

01:00:59.240 And you know it.

01:01:01.600 Every fat person who claims they diet all the time and the diets don't work.

01:01:06.180 I tried dieting and it doesn't.

01:01:07.700 What do you mean it doesn't work? 1.00

01:01:11.340 You're a liar. 0.99

01:01:13.580 Okay. 0.99

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.

01:01:22.180 Okay.

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

01:01:50.820 fat.

01:01:52.180 I've been burning more calories than I've consumed for 20 years and somehow I haven't

01:01:58.180 lost a pound.

01:01:59.240 In fact, I've only gained a hundred pounds.

01:02:01.560 It's not possible.

01:02:02.760 It defies the laws of physics.

01:02:05.660 So stop it.

01:02:06.740 It's not true.

01:02:07.520 And yet we tolerate these lies.

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.

01:02:21.200 What there's, it doesn't, what do you mean?

01:02:23.460 It doesn't, it's not possible that it doesn't work.

01:02:25.340 What are you, a cartoon character?

01:02:28.100 What are you claiming?

01:02:28.780 The laws of physics don't apply to you.

01:02:31.900 What's next?

01:02:32.480 Are you going to run out?

01:02:33.480 Like in the cartoon, you run out across the cliff and you don't fall until you notice that

01:02:38.100 you're walking on air.

01:02:39.040 Is it like your Bugs Bunny?

01:02:41.340 You, you run out, you're running on thin air and then somebody taps you on the shoulder

01:02:44.620 and goes, look down.

01:02:45.880 And then you look and then you fall.

01:02:47.880 Is that, is that also what's happening to you?

01:02:51.240 Physics just doesn't work.

01:02:52.620 I don't know.

01:02:53.860 Gravity doesn't work for me.

01:02:55.260 I don't know what to say.

01:02:58.940 No.

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

01:03:06.240 or you diet for a week and you stop.

01:03:08.400 And maybe you've done that.

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.

01:03:21.260 I'm not fat.

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.

01:03:32.280 I'm almost 40.

01:03:33.340 I'm not fat.

01:03:33.840 It could be fat at this point.

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.

01:03:47.960 It could be better.

01:03:49.340 I'm certainly not going to claim that I have the best diet in the world.

01:03:51.600 It's not the worst.

01:03:53.500 Definitely not the best, but I compensate for that.

01:03:56.780 I just, I work out quite a bit.

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.

01:04:09.760 I don't want to do it.

01:04:11.080 I'm not one of these people that, you know, they, they just love working out.

01:04:14.680 They, it's their favorite thing.

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. 0.99

01:04:22.960 It kind of sucks.

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 0.98

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.

01:04:35.740 And then I say to myself, you know what?

01:04:36.600 I'd love to do right now.

01:04:38.180 I'd love, this would be a lot of fun. 0.99

01:04:39.940 No, but I do it because I don't want to be an enormous lard ass. 0.99

01:04:45.220 And that's life. 0.98

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.

01:05:02.280 And it really is that simple.

01:05:05.440 Um, and no, I'm not trying to be rude.

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

01:05:12.180 anymore. 0.97

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. 0.88

01:05:22.580 If you're fat, it's because you're lazy and you eat too much.

01:05:25.200 That's how that happens.

01:05:27.880 But I'm not going to go around saying that I have no desire to be mean to people unless

01:05:33.400 they deserve it.

01:05:35.100 But once you start lying, that's what I can't, I don't like liars.

01:05:38.560 I don't like the lies.

01:05:39.520 And, uh, and then when we start hearing the lies, especially in the self, like in the

01:05:45.360 ad, it's very self-righteous. 0.96

01:05:47.320 It's got this scolding, the scolding self-righteous tone from this fat guy. 0.97

01:05:55.020 Wagging his finger. 0.88

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.

01:06:08.100 Okay.

01:06:10.440 That's it.

01:06:11.680 So at least be, you want to be fat. 0.83

01:06:13.860 You can be fat.

01:06:14.820 It's not the worst thing in the world to be.

01:06:16.460 I get it.

01:06:17.440 But at least be honest.

01:06:19.240 I'd have respect for that.

01:06:21.260 I'd have, I'd have some respect for an honest fat person. 0.76

01:06:23.580 It was like, look, this is what I look like. 0.99

01:06:25.660 I'm a fat slob. 0.99

01:06:26.600 It is what it is. 0.98

01:06:27.740 I'm kind of lazy.

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

01:06:32.600 the effort.

01:06:32.960 And here's what I look like because of it.

01:06:34.320 I'd respect that.

01:06:35.120 I respect the honesty.

01:06:38.100 It's the lies that I cannot, uh, cannot tolerate.

01:06:42.040 And we will leave it there for today.

01:06:44.180 Thanks for watching.

01:06:44.660 Thanks for listening.

01:06:45.260 Talk to you tomorrow.

01:06:46.400 Have a great day.

01:06:47.280 Godspeed.

01:06:47.600 What was it like, Merlin, to be alone with God?

01:07:05.060 Is that who you think I was alone with?

01:07:11.240 Meriden, I knew your father.

01:07:13.600 I am yet convinced that he was not of this world.

01:07:15.940 All men know of the great Taliesin.

01:07:22.080 You are my father.

01:07:23.260 That the gods should war for my soul.

01:07:26.400 Princess Garrus, savior of our people.

01:07:31.880 I know what the bull god offered you.

01:07:33.500 I was offered the same.

01:07:36.460 And?

01:07:38.000 There is a new power at work in the world.

01:07:40.060 I've seen it.

01:07:42.160 A god who sacrifices what he loves for us.

01:07:44.840 We are each given only one life, singer.

01:07:47.600 No.

01:07:48.720 We're given another.

01:07:49.480 I learned of Yezu the Christ.

01:07:54.840 And I have become his follower.

01:07:56.740 He's waiting on a miracle.

01:07:58.280 And I think you can give him one.

01:08:00.320 Trust in Yezu. 0.87

01:08:01.640 He is the only hope for men like us.

01:08:04.580 Fate of Britain never rests in the hands of the great light.

01:08:07.540 Great light.

01:08:08.740 Great darkness.

01:08:10.180 Such things mattered to me then. 0.70

01:08:11.620 What matters to you now, mistress of lies? 0.94

01:08:16.260 You. 0.99

01:08:17.840 Nephew.

01:08:20.880 The sword of a high king.

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.

01:08:36.140 I cannot take up that sword again.

01:08:38.960 You know what you must do.

01:08:41.620 Great light.

01:08:43.300 Forgive me.

01:08:51.180 The time has come to be reborn.
