00:00:30.220 Today on the Matt Wall Show,

00:00:31.080 New York City is already falling apart

00:00:32.900 and people are dying by the dozens

00:00:34.520 after just one month of Zoran Mamdani.

00:00:37.120 How bad are things going to get?

00:00:38.780 Do we even want to find out?

00:00:39.880 Also, why are leftists furious at the singer Shibuzi

00:00:43.040 for saying that immigrants built the country?

00:00:45.720 And I have some words of advice for young men

00:00:47.640 in the light of another gloried conservative influencer scandal.

00:00:51.340 We'll talk about all that and more today on the Matt Wall Show.

00:01:00.000 It's been a little over a month since a Muslim socialist from Uganda 1.00

00:01:22.360 named Zoran Mamdani became the mayor of the largest city in the United States.

00:01:27.340 And while a month isn't a lot of time in a normal administration,

00:01:29.900 you have to wonder what the city's many democratic socialists think

00:01:33.820 about the progress so far or lack thereof.

00:01:36.940 After all, Mamdani wasn't supposed to be like any other mayor.

00:01:40.680 The whole point was that he'd be a revolutionary.

00:01:43.320 He'd take quick, decisive action to replace the frigidity of rugged individualism

00:01:47.900 with the warmth of collectivism.

00:01:49.320 As we remember the now infamous quote,

00:01:52.600 he would disregard the rule of law, tax all the rich people,

00:01:56.140 make everything cost zero dollars magically.

00:01:59.420 Well, unfortunately for Mamdani, it looks like locals are getting a little restless.

00:02:04.760 They're not happy with his mother's appearance in the Epstein file.

00:02:07.560 She was mentioned by an Epstein's assistant who said that she attended an after party

00:02:11.100 for a film at Jelaine Maxwell's house.

00:02:14.200 And they're also angry that Mamdani hasn't shifted oversight of the police department

00:02:18.080 to a civilian board called CCRB,

00:02:20.700 which he promised to do as a way of dismantling the police force

00:02:23.760 and terminating more police officers.

00:02:25.340 So for those reasons, the other day,

00:02:27.920 a mob gathered outside of Mamdani's house already.

00:02:32.780 Watch.

00:02:33.100 That's right, we know about your mom.

00:02:36.860 Now listen, we was with you, so we voted for you, so we advocated for you, so we advocated for you, so we advocated for you.

00:02:46.920 You ain't get up, you get up in there and lie to us.

00:02:50.240 You lie, so we're safe, so we're safe, so we're safe.

00:02:52.620 Safe!

00:02:53.780 Safe!

00:02:54.240 Safe!

00:02:56.040 Your first line was CCRB, so we're safe.

00:02:59.700 Safe!

00:03:00.300 Safe!

00:03:01.060 Well, that did take long.

00:03:10.820 It's one of the problems with running on a platform to, like, solve everybody's problems.

00:03:15.240 No problem too big or too small.

00:03:16.860 Make everything free.

00:03:18.640 Well, you get elected and, like, 90 seconds later, everyone's saying,

00:03:21.360 hey, why do things still cost money?

00:03:25.600 Why do I still have problems?

00:03:28.040 What's going on here?

00:03:29.120 I mean, when you run pretending to be a genie in a lamp that can grant unlimited wishes, this is what you get.

00:03:38.100 So they elected a theater kid, supposedly from the middle of nowhere, who promised to burn everything down and completely transform New York City.

00:03:46.760 A month later, they realize he's a fraudster who has no idea what he's doing and that his life story is a lot less storybook than they had been told.

00:03:54.500 You see, when these people heard Mamdani reading the speechwriter's line about the Mexican abuelas and Yemeni bodega owners and Uzbek nurses and Ethiopian aunties,

00:04:07.780 they were under the impression that Mamdani had something in common with the working class.

00:04:11.600 And now they're finding out that while the Yemeni bodega owners and Trinidadian pimps were earning a living the hard way in the Bronx, 0.76

00:04:19.780 Mamdani's mother was getting name-dropped by Epstein's publicist.

00:04:24.500 That's got to be a tough, confusing realization.

00:04:28.660 And it gets worse when you realize that the buses still aren't free.

00:04:32.760 Mamdani hasn't even done that yet.

00:04:34.880 The whole point of his campaign was to enable every hobo and drug dealer and psychotic murderer to hop aboard a bus anytime they wanted. 0.80

00:04:41.600 And yet the buses still cost money.

00:04:44.040 In fact, bus fares have increased since Mamdani took office by around 10 cents.

00:04:48.840 Now, the Trump administration says that they're thinking about cutting federal funding to New York if they don't change fares as part of a new transportation bill.

00:04:55.620 So all of a sudden, what seemed to be a very simple, straightforward proposal is turning out to be a lot more complicated.

00:05:01.200 And from the moment Mamdani was elected, that has raised some questions for New Yorkers.

00:05:07.360 Watch.

00:05:07.580 Oh, excuse me, sir.

00:05:13.660 I have a question.

00:05:14.380 Yeah, what's up?

00:05:14.820 So I saw on the bus, it said, like, and I see the sign that says fares required.

00:05:18.440 I thought the buses were supposed to be free now because, like, Mamdani just won.

00:05:21.920 That's fine.

00:05:22.640 That's a good one.

00:05:23.280 When does that start?

00:05:25.440 That's never going to stop.

00:05:26.460 Never going to happen? 0.98

00:05:27.480 Yeah, that was fucking good. 0.98

00:05:28.140 All right. 0.91

00:05:28.400 I want to say I appreciate what you do, my guy.

00:05:30.540 All right.

00:05:31.040 Have a good one, my guy.

00:05:32.060 Listen, you are the heart and soul, the backbone of New York.

00:05:35.000 Stay safe.

00:05:35.520 Personally, I don't care if you come off a free.

00:05:37.140 Oh, WMS.

00:05:39.220 Thank you, bro.

00:05:39.980 Have a good one.

00:05:40.540 I've been doing free buses before, Mamdani.

00:05:42.680 I'm the man.

00:05:43.100 Yes, sir.

00:05:43.820 All right.

00:05:44.060 You got to run for the next election.

00:05:45.440 I'll vote for you.

00:05:46.380 Have a good one.

00:05:49.920 You know, it's almost like the bus driver who has an actual job and familiarity with

00:05:53.600 the mass transit system knows something that the socialists don't.

00:05:56.360 It's almost like he knows that these free buses, if they were ever actually offered,

00:06:00.120 would inevitably transform into rolling crack houses.

00:06:02.480 It can't go any other way.

00:06:03.620 But if you look at the comments on that video, everyone insists that the free buses will indeed

00:06:07.800 arrive.

00:06:09.260 And these will be magic buses, like the magic school bus.

00:06:13.900 They'll be the first mass transit service ever invented in a diverse city that will serve

00:06:20.280 millions of people with no cost and no overcrowding and no overdoses and no random stabbings.

00:06:26.840 But again, the buses still haven't arrived, which has led to some uncomfortable questions

00:06:31.440 about what exactly Mamdani is doing.

00:06:33.040 He certainly doesn't seem to be attending to any of his day-to-day duties.

00:06:36.700 More than a week after a major snowstorm, trash is piling up everywhere.

00:06:40.160 Here's just some of the images of what that looks like, as you can see here.

00:06:44.460 It's like the 1970s all over again. 0.88

00:06:46.900 There's so much garbage that the Post, in one of its better headlines lately, I have to 0.98

00:06:50.320 say, is calling New York the city that never sweeps. 0.97

00:06:54.100 And the residents who spoke to the Post aren't especially amused by what they're seeing.

00:06:57.820 One man, a native New Yorker named Josh Tepper, said, quote, it's the most vile thing.

00:07:03.640 I think it's the worst in New York history.

00:07:06.240 He said Gracie Mansion, where Mamdani lives, looks clean and trash-free, while the rest of 1.00

00:07:10.360 the city is a complete disaster.

00:07:12.620 Another man living on the Upper East Side stated that, quote, it's very dirty.

00:07:16.460 It's a little embarrassing, and a third man stated that the situation was very concerning

00:07:20.360 because recycling hadn't been picked up for nearly a week.

00:07:24.600 Meanwhile, the snow is piling up and the buses still aren't running on time.

00:07:29.080 And yet, faced with mobs at the gates and trash piling up in the streets, Mamdani has not

00:07:35.160 convened an emergency meeting with his many emotionally unstable advisors.

00:07:38.240 He hasn't explained where the garbage trucks are.

00:07:41.300 Instead, Mamdani's latest proposal is to enable New Yorkers to sightsee from the observation

00:07:46.180 deck of a tall municipal building in Manhattan.

00:07:49.660 That is his big idea that's going to solve everything.

00:07:52.660 Watch.

00:07:54.900 I'm here at the top of the David Dinkins Municipal Building.

00:08:02.480 This is one of the most magnificent government buildings in the world.

00:08:06.800 As we begin to celebrate Black History Month, it felt fitting to honor the legacy of our city's

00:08:11.260 first black mayor, right here.

00:08:16.540 From up here, you can see everything, from MetLife Stadium all the way to Bushwick.

00:08:21.400 This building belongs to the people of this city, but for too long, most New Yorkers have

00:08:25.400 been shut out of it.

00:08:26.500 That's coming to an end.

00:08:28.280 We're opening the rooftop of the Dinkins Municipal Building to the public.

00:08:32.400 Starting this June, the city will offer guided tours of this extraordinary civic landmark.

00:08:36.700 You'll be able to reserve free tickets online and go up in small groups.

00:08:43.300 Everything from the way that video is shot to what he's saying makes it abundantly clear

00:08:46.840 that New Yorkers elected a third-rate influencer.

00:08:49.560 He's not going to honor his campaign promises or pick up the trash, but on the bright side,

00:08:54.440 he'll let you stand on the top of this ugly building and look at all the other ugly buildings.

00:09:00.200 And so when you go to him and say, hey, there's trash in the street and the buses aren't running

00:09:03.980 on time, can you take care of that?

00:09:06.640 Well, no, but do you want to go, you see that big building?

00:09:10.260 Do you want to go to the top of that building and look out?

00:09:13.640 Do you?

00:09:16.120 He's like treating New Yorkers like children, you know, like when you have a toddler having a tantrum.

00:09:20.400 You redirect.

00:09:21.400 They're upset about, oh, they want a snack.

00:09:23.460 Oh, we're not doing a snack.

00:09:24.380 Do you want a color?

00:09:27.460 I want a cookie.

00:09:28.340 Well, we're not doing cookies, but here's, do you want a color in his coloring book?

00:09:31.860 That's what Mom Donnie is dealing with, the residents of the city. 1.00

00:09:36.080 And just for good measure, the building is named after David Dinkins, who oversaw the biggest rise

00:09:40.600 in New York's murder rate in roughly a century.

00:09:43.140 The city had nearly 2,000 murderers in his final year in office compared to around 350

00:09:47.460 in the last year.

00:09:50.140 You can see there, you take a look at this chart.

00:09:52.600 The high point of the chart on the far left is when Dinkins was mayor.

00:09:57.380 That's how extraordinarily, uniquely incompetent he was.

00:10:02.620 Dinkins would say things like, if we had a police officer in every other corner, we

00:10:06.020 couldn't stop some of the random violence that goes on.

00:10:09.560 So he just allowed the violence to continue, including a lot of ethnic and racial violence.

00:10:14.580 The city lost hundreds of thousands of jobs.

00:10:16.900 He increased taxes to unsustainable levels.

00:10:19.260 And then Giuliani took over, reversed all of Dinkins' policies, and arrested criminals.

00:10:24.880 And the city immediately turned around.

00:10:27.360 But in leftist mythology, even though Dinkins was a terrible mayor, he was actually great 0.96

00:10:33.820 because he was black. 0.89

00:10:35.420 They'll remove Teddy Roosevelt's statue because he was white and effective. 0.99

00:10:38.560 But they'll honor Dinkins at every opportunity, not despite the fact that he nearly destroyed

00:10:43.180 New York, but because of that fact.

00:10:45.900 And Mamdani plans to do exactly the same thing.

00:10:48.820 He doesn't care if people die as a result of his policies.

00:10:51.220 His only mission is to dismantle the nerve center of American capitalism, strip it for

00:10:55.500 everything it's worth, and send our money overseas.

00:10:59.300 And actually, Mamdani has already killed people in New York City. 0.82

00:11:02.340 He's not doing much in office, but in those rare moments when he chooses to take decisive

00:11:06.600 action, it's resulted in the deaths of actual humans.

00:11:10.500 Already, just one month into his term.

00:11:12.960 So take a look at this video from last December.

00:11:14.780 It was uploaded by the outgoing mayor, Eric Adams.

00:11:17.660 And if you know anything about Eric Adams, you know that he's pretty checked out as far

00:11:21.280 as ex-mayors go.

00:11:23.060 But let's just say he certainly seems very happy to be a private citizen again.

00:11:27.520 And in December, in his last days in office, Eric Adams felt compelled to speak up about

00:11:33.420 Mamdani's plan to stop law enforcement from sweeping up homeless encampments during the

00:11:39.040 winter and forcing the homeless into institutions.

00:11:42.500 Well, he knew what would happen if Mamdani actually followed through.

00:11:46.620 Listen.

00:11:48.320 Earlier today, Mayor-elect Zoran Mamdani announced that once he takes office on January 1st, he'll

00:11:56.720 stop sweeping homeless encampments across our city.

00:12:00.280 I won't criticize him on every issue, but when a policy harms New Yorkers, I have to speak

00:12:06.980 up.

00:12:08.040 Showing compassion for those sleeping on the streets is not as sweet.

00:12:13.520 It is humane.

00:12:15.380 Ending this action will create a quality of life nightmare.

00:12:20.420 Just look at cities that allow encampments and you'll see the damage.

00:12:24.900 Worse, leaving people to suffer in the cold, isn't just neglectful, it's a disgrace.

00:12:31.920 Throughout the last close to four years, I was adamant about cleaning those encampments

00:12:38.340 because we cannot tolerate a city that turns a blind eye to human suffering.

00:12:44.200 I urge the incoming administration to rethink this, and I urge New Yorkers to raise their voices.

00:12:51.020 So this is a useful distinction, a useful illustration of the distinction between the old Democrats

00:12:59.260 and the leftists who now control the party.

00:13:02.000 Now, the old Democrats were wrong, misguided, and dangerous, but some of them still retained

00:13:08.520 a semblance of understanding about human nature and cause and effect and basic common sense.

00:13:14.360 And those Democrats are now completely gone.

00:13:16.780 They've been ousted.

00:13:17.460 Eric Adams, of course, was supportive of Trump's immigration policy, which is why Biden's DOJ

00:13:21.920 tried to throw him in prison.

00:13:24.060 You simply can't express any basic fundamental understanding of human nature or common sense

00:13:28.680 and remain a member of the party in good standing.

00:13:32.100 So now there's no one left in the party who understands the truth or will acknowledge the

00:13:38.300 truth about the homeless, among many other things.

00:13:41.140 No one in the party understands or will acknowledge that someone doesn't become homeless without

00:13:47.700 being highly dysfunctional as a human being. 0.94

00:13:52.200 In order to become homeless, you are an extremely dysfunctional, often dangerous person, dangerous 0.81

00:13:58.620 to yourself and often those around you.

00:14:01.600 In order to be homeless, you have to alienate every person in your life, including your family,

00:14:07.800 which takes a lot of work.

00:14:11.500 Every person who knows you in your life is not helping you anymore, which might mean,

00:14:18.320 could mean that you're just a victim and you happen to be around all the worst people in

00:14:22.400 the world. 0.99

00:14:22.860 You have the worst family, the worst family. 0.99

00:14:24.900 More likely is that this is a dysfunctional, selfish, self-destructive person who has alienated 0.99

00:14:33.480 every single person they've ever known.

00:14:36.660 And that's how they end up on the street.

00:14:38.320 It's just the reality.

00:14:42.400 And now they fail to achieve a basic level of self-sufficiency.

00:14:47.700 These are people who, for their safety and for the safety of the general public, should

00:14:52.340 not be on the streets.

00:14:54.840 And they shouldn't be placed in taxpayer-provided apartment buildings or hotels either.

00:14:59.100 They should be jailed or they should be institutionalized.

00:15:06.160 You remove them from the street forcefully and permanently.

00:15:11.100 You say, you're not allowed.

00:15:12.220 This is not allowed.

00:15:13.040 You cannot just turn our streets into an encampment. 0.86

00:15:15.520 We are not going to let dysfunctional, drug-addled, crazy people to set up camp wherever they want 0.76

00:15:23.020 in the city.

00:15:23.560 And, you know, leftists will say, well, not every homeless person is using drugs or committing

00:15:28.560 crimes or psychotic.

00:15:30.600 It's just, you know, 99.9% of them.

00:15:33.540 But even if that were true, it doesn't matter.

00:15:36.480 In a functioning, civilized society, public order matters.

00:15:40.700 The sidewalks are for walking.

00:15:42.920 The parks are for enjoying nature and fresh air.

00:15:46.480 They're for families.

00:15:48.460 Lobbies are where you go when you want to enter a building.

00:15:51.060 And when homeless people stink up all those places and make them dangerous to be in for 0.90

00:15:57.240 normal people, they degrade every aspect of civic life.

00:16:01.940 They make everything worse for everybody in every way.

00:16:07.140 They've also demonstrated they aren't really in charge of their own lives, which is why the

00:16:10.720 government, which exists to protect the rights of its citizens, should assume agency over them.

00:16:16.920 They cannot exercise agency over themselves.

00:16:20.040 They are incapable of it.

00:16:21.800 It's why they're on the street.

00:16:24.500 If you're, by definition, if you're sleeping in a tent on the streets or on the sidewalk,

00:16:30.100 you are not capable of exercising basic agency over your own life.

00:16:35.820 And so it should be taken from you.

00:16:39.940 But Mamdani reversed the policy of Eric Adams' administration to get these people off the

00:16:44.720 streets during the winter.

00:16:45.840 As the Post reported, quote, New York's new mayor, Zoran Mamdani, has barred the NYPD

00:16:50.800 from closing down the ramshackle camps that have been springing up in the neighborhoods

00:16:54.760 across the five boroughs ever since he previewed his policy in December.

00:16:58.040 No matter how many neighborhood residents call 311 to report a new encampment, the NYPD is

00:17:03.520 now powerless to deal with them.

00:17:05.380 And even New York's strongest are barred from cleaning them up.

00:17:08.520 The sanitation department has orders to remove garbage and human waste, but must leave mattresses,

00:17:13.380 clothing, makeshift cardboard huts, and other items intact.

00:17:19.440 The direct result of the policy, as Mamdani announced from the top of the Dinkins building,

00:17:23.440 is that more than a dozen New Yorkers are now dead.

00:17:28.080 They froze to death because Mamdani didn't want to round them up on the theory that, you

00:17:33.580 know, rounding up homeless people is inhumane.

00:17:35.380 And so it's more humane to just let them freeze to death, which is a horrific way to die,

00:17:43.240 by the way.

00:17:44.340 Here's Mamdani with the announcement.

00:17:47.660 A severe cold front continues to bear down on our city.

00:17:52.940 Today is our 11th consecutive day of below freezing weather.

00:17:57.000 And we could very well be in the middle of the longest period of consecutive sub-32 degree

00:18:03.120 weather in our city's entire history.

00:18:05.740 Without temperatures rising above freezing, snow has hardened into blocks of ice.

00:18:10.980 But the greatest danger posed by this sustained cold is to vulnerable New Yorkers who remain

00:18:15.700 exposed to the elements.

00:18:17.440 As of this morning, 16 of our fellow New Yorkers have passed away outside during this brutal

00:18:22.080 stretch of cold.

00:18:22.740 In 13 of these cases, preliminary findings indicate that hypothermia played a role, and

00:18:28.260 three of these deaths appear to be overdose deaths.

00:18:30.900 We await final results from the medical examiner's office and will inform New Yorkers as we learn

00:18:35.500 more.

00:18:36.380 Each of these lives lost is a tragedy.

00:18:39.040 My heart was at the family of those mourning their loved ones.

00:18:43.180 Now, the dead homeless people range in ages from mid-40s to 90, according to the Post.

00:18:48.680 Many of them, as you heard, basically froze to death.

00:18:50.640 So, unfortunately, they won't be getting any free tickets to the Dinkins building, where

00:18:55.720 they could have observed the trash piles lining the city of New York, which is a real shame.

00:19:01.320 And actually, it's a lot worse than that.

00:19:03.100 Mamdani is responsible for every single one of these deaths.

00:19:07.860 That is not hyperbole.

00:19:09.640 And he doesn't care, in the slightest.

00:19:12.480 He's not going to change his policy.

00:19:14.020 He's not even going to express regret.

00:19:15.960 That's because Mamdani's goal, like the goal of every leftist who pretends to care about 0.65

00:19:20.240 the homeless, is not to improve anyone's life, whether they're homeless or not.

00:19:23.680 His goal is to funnel taxpayer money to left-wing NGOs that claim they'll fix homelessness and

00:19:27.820 then do absolutely nothing other than redirect some of that money back to Democrats.

00:19:32.700 Ending homelessness would cut off one of the major funding sources for Democrat activists.

00:19:36.340 So, he wants homelessness to continue.

00:19:41.500 In fact, solving any problem cuts off funding to Democrat activists, so he doesn't want to

00:19:45.580 solve any problem.

00:19:47.340 He wants them all to get worse, in fact.

00:19:50.260 He wants these people in the street at all times so that he can justify more spending on

00:19:54.180 fake left-wing nonprofits.

00:19:55.400 And if a few hobos die, he genuinely doesn't care. 0.87

00:20:02.680 And make no mistake, many, many more people will die as a direct result of Mamdani's policies.

00:20:07.220 It's true during all communist regimes, and it'll be the case in Mamdani's as well.

00:20:11.700 Consider the case of Jabez Kakraborti.

00:20:15.300 He's 22 years old.

00:20:17.500 His family called 911 about a month ago, saying he was in emotional distress.

00:20:20.880 And when officers responded, Jabez produced a kitchen knife and charged at them.

00:20:26.540 So, the officers, acting in self-defense, shot the guy, put him in the hospital.

00:20:30.100 Clearly a justified shooting.

00:20:31.740 Body camera makes all of that very clear, as we will demonstrate in a second.

00:20:34.920 But the family of the attacker has put out a statement saying they are shocked and outraged

00:20:38.980 by the NYPD's action.

00:20:41.320 Apparently, the officers were just supposed to, you know, let themselves get stabbed to death. 0.99

00:20:45.820 You know, if a crazy guy wants to stab you, it is your responsibility as a police officer to just die. 1.00

00:20:53.420 Let yourself be butchered so that this crazy person can live. 1.00

00:20:57.320 That is what they're being told. 0.98

00:21:00.820 And for his part, Mamdani has decided to use this case to make an argument that in the future,

00:21:04.920 the police shouldn't be dispatched to calls like this at all.

00:21:08.380 He thinks a counselor or a mental health professional from the Department of Community Safety should go to the scene.

00:21:13.520 So, now Mamdani is visiting the attacker and his family in the hospital and implying that they're the victims.

00:21:20.780 And he's giving press conferences about his plan to unleash lunatics like this on the general public.

00:21:25.180 We'll play part of that press conference, followed by a body camera footage of the shooting.

00:21:29.560 Watch.

00:21:31.280 And as you said, I spoke with the Chakraborty family and I visited Chavez in the hospital.

00:21:36.920 And there is no family should have to endure this kind of pain.

00:21:42.220 Hey, put the knife down! 1.00

00:21:46.560 Put the knife down! 1.00

00:21:47.660 Put the knife down! 1.00

00:21:48.860 Put the knife down! 1.00

00:21:50.720 Move! 0.97

00:21:51.640 Move! 0.97

00:21:52.000 Move! 0.97

00:21:52.340 Move! 0.97

00:21:53.060 Move! 0.97

00:21:53.820 Put the knife down! 1.00

00:21:55.180 Put the knife down! 1.00

00:21:56.900 Put the knife down! 1.00

00:22:03.420 Well, it's the most open and shut, clear-cut case imaginable.

00:22:09.700 The officer obviously did what they had to do.

00:22:13.480 Actually, the officers were, like, they went, yet again, the officers were more reluctant to shoot than they needed to be.

00:22:22.260 You can see the officer, if you were not watching the video, if you're listening to the audio podcast, he's being charged at.

00:22:27.400 Like, the guy has a knife, is charging at him, very unambiguous.

00:22:31.100 The officer retreats back into another room, shuts the door to give this guy another chance.

00:22:37.420 And then when the guy opens that door and crosses that barrier and charges again, and this officer is now cornered, he's got nowhere else to go, he opens fire.

00:22:45.620 If you're saying he should not have fired, should not have fired the gun, then what you are saying, it's not an exaggeration, what you are saying is that his responsibility as a police officer was just to be stabbed to death.

00:23:00.540 And that's insane. 0.99

00:23:02.400 That's an insane, like, if that's your position, you are as insane as the guy with the knife. 0.98

00:23:06.980 And should be taken as seriously as we take that guy. 0.97

00:23:12.420 But, you know, in the eyes of the left, they just lost a foot soldier.

00:23:15.420 They've lost someone who could have stabbed an innocent woman to death on the train one day.

00:23:19.640 And that really bothers them. 0.93

00:23:22.060 They stay up at night thinking of ways to allow more lunatics like this to go free. 0.73

00:23:27.260 That's why none of their policies make sense.

00:23:30.320 At least if you're thinking like a rational person and you look at their policies, you think, well, that doesn't make any sense.

00:23:35.300 What do you mean?

00:23:35.740 Why do you want that policy?

00:23:37.420 That's just going to make everything more dangerous and worse.

00:23:40.220 Why would you want to do that?

00:23:44.000 Well, what you don't understand is that when you say it makes everything more dangerous and worse, the left says, yeah, right, good.

00:23:53.540 They're not trying to keep you safe.

00:23:56.220 Their policy ideas are designed to make your city more dangerous and your life more miserable.

00:24:01.160 But one reporter tried to make sense of the policy anyway.

00:24:03.520 After Mamdani was done speaking, the reporter asked a pretty obvious question.

00:24:07.000 If we're going to send emotional support counselors to visit emotionally disturbed people instead of police, what happens when those emotionally disturbed people try to kill the person that you have sent?

00:24:18.240 How exactly are we going to decide whether or not the police should be dispatched when we don't know whether the emotionally disturbed person poses a lethal threat or not?

00:24:28.340 Well, Mamdani had no answer to that question.

00:24:30.380 Watch.

00:24:30.640 I know that you talk about the fact that the police can respond in these instances if there's a weapon.

00:24:38.600 But in this case, there wasn't a knowledge that there would be a weapon.

00:24:42.360 There was the charges were that he was breaking glass.

00:24:45.860 And at the last minute when the cops came in, he pulled a knife out of the kitchen.

00:24:49.780 So how do you determine when the police can arrive if the initial call doesn't say he's got a gun, he's got a knife?

00:24:58.200 What do you do?

00:24:58.940 And then if it turns violent, if a person's there without the ability to stop him, what happens?

00:25:03.940 So I think there's a few things to say here.

00:25:06.880 One is a lot of this is exactly the focus of the conversations that we're having internally in developing out this Department of Community Safety.

00:25:14.960 Additionally, I want to make clear that a person experiencing a mental health episode does not always have to be served first or exclusively by a police officer.

00:25:24.820 It is important for us to have all of the options available.

00:25:27.820 And that's exactly what we're looking at.

00:25:31.200 So in other words, he has no answer to the question.

00:25:34.180 If you send a community safety advocate and the person pulls a knife and charges at them, what then?

00:25:44.960 Because, you know, the answer from the left is, well, the real answer is, oh, I don't care.

00:25:51.720 I mean, the real answer is, okay, well, I guess that person just dies then.

00:25:55.060 I don't give a...

00:25:55.920 That's the real answer.

00:25:58.120 They're not going to say that.

00:26:00.420 So instead, their answer is always going to be something like, well, that should just not happen.

00:26:07.700 What happens when the social worker shows up and the crazy person pulls a knife?

00:26:11.380 Well, that shouldn't happen.

00:26:14.960 Yeah, but it does happen.

00:26:16.960 But it does happen.

00:26:18.120 But it shouldn't.

00:26:20.480 But it does.

00:26:23.100 This is the disconnect when you're trying to argue with the left about anything.

00:26:26.980 You can't get them into reality.

00:26:29.920 The most they could do is say, well, this thing should be this way.

00:26:33.760 But they're not.

00:26:38.280 Are they? 1.00

00:26:40.220 What about in the real world, you morons? 1.00

00:26:43.260 What about in the world we actually live in? 1.00

00:26:46.500 What about there?

00:26:48.320 What do we do in that world?

00:26:49.780 Well, this is going to be a theme of the Mamdani administration and of every socialist administration like it.

00:26:56.500 Assuming he actually starts attempting to govern instead of shooting influencer videos with his drones.

00:27:01.480 We're going to see a lot more of this.

00:27:03.360 They'll continue to advance leftist agenda items that would be very popular in a classroom at NYU or the Soviet Union, even though these policies have no chance of success in the real world.

00:27:13.960 And even as these agenda items result in human misery and death, they will continue to press on.

00:27:18.420 They'll just vomit out some word salad and continue as if nothing had happened.

00:27:22.360 The death toll will rise week after week.

00:27:25.800 People will get shanked on the free buses.

00:27:27.900 Social workers will get stabbed and shot as they were spout on the calls that law enforcement should have handled.

00:27:33.320 Tourists will get pushed off the new observation deck on the ugly building in Manhattan. 0.97

00:27:39.540 Homeless people will die in large numbers every winter, and they'll continue to attack New Yorkers, particularly white women. 1.00

00:27:44.960 And in the meantime, if Mamdani's voters continue to feel buyer's remorse, and if they decide to get too unruly, they're not going to be met with social workers.

00:27:58.740 They'll be crushed by the full power of the state.

00:28:02.240 So their only option is to retreat to the safety of their $5,000 a month one-bedroom apartments and scroll blue sky as they wonder why exactly this guy's mother is in the Epstein files.

00:28:13.780 That is the rather bleak future that awaits New York.

00:28:17.960 It's also the future that awaits the rest of this country, unless we see New York as the gigantic warning sign that it is.

00:28:24.980 Even Mamdani supporters are starting to realize that now.

00:28:29.100 And the rest of us should pay very close attention to what happens next in New York.

00:28:34.500 We should also bear in mind that the winning strategy in the Cold War was containment.

00:28:38.240 And in the same vein, we should do everything we can to contain democratic socialism to the hellhole that New York City is already becoming.

00:28:50.640 Now let's get to our five headlines.

00:28:51.920 Looking back at where I started to where I am today makes me truly appreciate everything that my wife and I have built together.

00:29:02.840 Through it all, my family is by far the most important part.

00:29:06.140 I want to make sure that they're taken care of if something were to ever happen to me.

00:31:08.100 Well, I hate to mention the Grammys again, but I can't control the news cycle.

00:31:14.420 It is what it is.

00:31:15.380 And this story is pretty funny, so bear with me.

00:31:18.100 I think you'll enjoy this one.

00:31:20.540 So Shabuzi, which I'm pretty sure is not his Christian name.

00:31:26.140 I'm pretty sure that's not the name that his parents gave him.

00:31:27.960 Although you never know.

00:31:28.700 I mean, you never know.

00:31:32.180 So he won a Grammy on Sunday night for best country song or best country duet or something.

00:31:39.440 And he gave an acceptance speech that you would think was very safe.

00:31:45.220 A speech that's not really worth remarking on.

00:31:47.500 A speech that you would think the left would warmly embrace.

00:31:50.780 So, if you're not familiar with this fake controversy, listen to this.

00:31:56.440 Just this quick clip.

00:31:57.140 It's like 30 seconds.

00:31:59.060 And from the mentality of a leftist, what do you think the problem is here?

00:32:04.880 Because it's not going to be immediately obvious.

00:32:06.740 Listen.

00:32:08.500 And again, the last thing I want to say.

00:32:10.980 Immigrants built this country.

00:32:12.320 Literally.

00:32:15.000 Actually.

00:32:15.400 So this is for them.

00:32:18.880 For all children of immigrants.

00:32:21.100 This is also for those who came to this country in search of better opportunity.

00:32:24.220 To be a part of a nation that promised freedom for all and equal opportunity.

00:32:28.220 To everyone willing to work for it.

00:32:30.260 Thank you for bringing your culture, your music, your stories, and your traditions here.

00:32:34.440 You give America color.

00:32:35.900 I love y'all so much.

00:32:37.220 Thank you.

00:32:39.940 Okay.

00:32:40.420 So, boilerplate.

00:32:41.840 You know, generic liberal PC bumper sticker stuff.

00:32:46.960 I don't even know why he needed to read it.

00:32:49.680 Like, why did you have to write that down?

00:32:51.580 This is the standard spiel.

00:32:53.520 It's always funny when these people are like, well, I've written a speech.

00:32:57.500 You know, let me read my speech. 0.52

00:32:58.940 And then it's all the most generic nonsense you've ever heard.

00:33:01.980 It's like, you couldn't just say that.

00:33:04.260 You needed to read.

00:33:06.120 Immigrants built this country.

00:33:08.020 Immigrants are great.

00:33:09.060 I love rainbows and unicorns.

00:33:14.480 I like things that are happy.

00:33:18.380 You couldn't just say that?

00:33:19.520 You had to write that down and read it?

00:33:24.220 And so, you know, that's what you'd think.

00:33:25.600 You'd think the left would be happy with that.

00:33:27.340 And, you know, as for the right, we don't really care what a guy named Shabuzi has to say.

00:33:32.820 Whether you know who he is or not.

00:33:33.900 Like, if you came to me and told me that someone said something, even if that thing was objectionable, and then I say, well, who said that?

00:33:43.900 That's weird.

00:33:44.480 Who said it?

00:33:45.120 And you said, oh, a guy named Shabuzi.

00:33:47.920 Then I'm going to say, okay, well, whatever.

00:33:50.240 A guy named Shabuzi said that?

00:33:52.380 So you'd think that'd be the end of it, except that poor Shabuzi had to issue a statement of clarification, an apology, basically, for that speech.

00:34:02.140 And not because anybody on the right was upset.

00:34:04.560 He had to apologize and clarify because of outrage on the left.

00:34:08.280 Leftists were mad.

00:34:09.320 Leftists were mad at this.

00:34:10.340 They were mad at what you would think is just, I mean, it's pandering to them.

00:34:17.180 What are you upset about?

00:34:19.940 From Shabuzi's perspective, he's saying, isn't this what you guys want me to say?

00:34:23.900 I thought, isn't this what we're doing?

00:34:25.400 We're all up here talking about ICE is bad, immigrants are great.

00:34:28.820 Kind of feel bad for Shabuzi.

00:34:31.120 Never thought I would say that.

00:34:32.340 I feel bad for Shabuzi.

00:34:33.500 But he's saying to himself, like, what do you, I bet when he heard from his publicist or whoever that, oh, you know, there's outrage.

00:34:40.820 He's like, what?

00:34:42.140 From who?

00:34:42.780 Oh, all the liberals.

00:34:43.780 What?

00:34:46.020 You're the one who gave me this thing to read.

00:34:47.560 You said that this is what the liberals wanted me to say.

00:34:51.680 So here's the, here's the, the statement that he, he published or he put up on social media.

00:34:58.960 First and foremost, I want to express my deep gratitude to everyone who has supported and celebrated my journey.

00:35:03.340 As an artist, I also want to acknowledge the conversation surrounding my acceptance speech.

00:35:07.480 To be clear, I know and believe that we black people have also built this country.

00:35:12.760 My words were never intended to dismiss that truth.

00:35:14.840 I am both a black man and the son of Nigerian immigrants.

00:35:17.440 And in the overwhelming moment of winning my first Grammy, my focus was on honoring the sacrifices my parents made by coming to this country to give me and my siblings opportunities they never had.

00:35:27.400 At the same time, winning this award on the first day of Black History Month and becoming the first black man to win best country duo.

00:35:33.340 Is black history.

00:35:34.940 It stands on the foundation laid by generations of black people who fought, sacrificed, and succeeded long before me.

00:35:39.880 This moment belongs to all of us.

00:35:42.540 So that, so, so they were mad because he said immigrants built this country and didn't say that black people also built it.

00:35:51.960 That's why he had to clarify.

00:35:53.220 He should have said immigrants built this country and also black people.

00:35:58.880 And he didn't say that.

00:36:00.460 And so, and so that's what, that's why he had to issue a clarification.

00:36:04.120 And needless to say, judging by the comments, the statement is still not enough to assuage the anguish that he has caused.

00:36:10.980 All of the, uh, you know, if you read the comments from the, um, from black Twitter, it, the, the pain, the pain that has been caused by Shibuzy not saying black people also built the country. 0.51

00:36:26.840 The pain is just, it's, they'll never get, it's, it's, this is not enough.

00:36:31.420 This is not even close to enough.

00:36:32.940 So this is the fantasy land.

00:36:36.620 Speaking of these people living in fantasy lands, this is it, you know, in their fantasy land, this country was built by two groups, black people and non-white immigrants. 0.85

00:36:48.060 You know, he talks about his, well, his parents came here from Nigeria.

00:36:52.740 So I want to acknowledge the immigrants who built America, like my parents who came from Nigeria.

00:36:59.500 How did your parents help build the country?

00:37:01.140 Hey, Shibuzy, how exactly did your parents from Nigeria, how did any Nigerian immigrant help build the country?

00:37:06.240 Can you explain that?

00:37:09.600 How did that happen? 0.73

00:37:13.060 So the only people who didn't build it in this bizarro version of American history are white people. 0.85

00:37:18.780 The only people who didn't build America are the people who built America.

00:37:23.860 That's the dogma here.

00:37:25.680 That's the fantasy you're expected to believe. 0.96

00:37:28.280 The only people who did not build America are white people. 0.95

00:37:33.800 Every other group, Nigerians built America. 1.00

00:37:37.200 Somalians built America somehow. 1.00

00:37:41.620 But the only people who didn't are white people of European ancestry.

00:37:45.740 And just to be clear here, and I've been very clear on this many times, but the opposite is true.

00:37:58.240 The opposite is true.

00:37:59.520 This is a country that was predominantly built by white people. 0.97

00:38:04.560 White people of European descent.

00:38:06.340 That is a historical fact.

00:38:08.640 It doesn't matter if you don't like it.

00:38:10.440 It doesn't matter if it hurts your feelings to hear it.

00:38:13.240 It doesn't matter if it makes your tummy hurt.

00:38:16.040 It's just historical reality.

00:38:20.560 There are other countries in the world you can go, and in those countries, you wouldn't give white people any credit. 0.96

00:38:28.240 But this country is different.

00:38:32.040 In fact, a lot of other countries, a lot of the good things in those countries, you do give white people credit because of colonization, which introduced technology that they wouldn't otherwise have. 0.86

00:38:48.080 But that's a separate conversation.

00:38:49.520 The point is, this country has its own history.

00:38:53.580 And in this country, white people of European descent are predominantly the ones who built it. 0.90

00:38:59.060 Now, how can I say that?

00:39:01.620 Well, because almost all of the pioneers, settlers, colonists, founders, inventors, entrepreneurs, and political leaders who made America, formed the country, and turned it into a world power, were white. 0.70

00:39:15.080 Almost all, almost all, almost all of them, I didn't say all, but almost all, almost all the soldiers who fought and died in our wars, especially over the first 150 years, were white. 0.78

00:39:28.200 I didn't say all, but almost all.

00:39:30.520 Almost all the greatest and most influential Americans in history have been white. 0.81

00:39:36.640 I would challenge anyone.

00:39:38.080 This is my challenge.

00:39:38.860 Anyone who's going to clip this and call me a white supremacist.

00:39:43.880 Oh, no.

00:39:44.920 It'll be the first time I've heard that one.

00:39:47.240 Well, here's my challenge to you.

00:39:49.440 You're not allowed to complain about anything that I'm saying unless you're going to meet this challenge, which you should be able to do if you disagree with my point.

00:39:56.500 And that is this.

00:39:58.200 I want you to come up with a list of the 50 greatest Americans and come up with a list of the 50 greatest Americans that isn't majority white. 0.69

00:40:14.860 So can you write down a list of the 50 greatest Americans?

00:40:17.380 If I'm wrong that white people predominantly built a country, well, okay, then if that's the case, 1.00

00:40:24.540 then it would seem to me that if you were to make a list of the 50 Americans who you can reasonably argue were the greatest and most influential,

00:40:35.100 on that list, at least 26 of them, a majority, should be non-white.

00:40:42.000 Can you come up with 26 non-white people who you could reasonably argue belong on the list of the 50 greatest and most influential Americans in history?

00:40:53.560 Can you do that?

00:40:55.940 I challenge anyone to do it.

00:40:57.660 Please do it so we can all have a good laugh.

00:40:59.580 Please show us your list.

00:41:01.360 Do it so we can all see, like, which obviously more influential white people you had to leave off the list.

00:41:08.460 Do it so that we can see that, like, you put Oprah Winfrey on the list, but Thomas Edison isn't or something like that.

00:41:15.440 Go ahead.

00:41:16.040 And if you were to expand the list to be the top figures in the history of the Americas, which is really what we're talking about,

00:41:28.320 including colonial and pre-colonial periods in the New World generally,

00:41:32.660 if that's the, if we're expanding it that far, then I think a list of the top 50 would be exclusively white,

00:41:44.920 or very nearly so.

00:41:49.220 And, but, you know, anyone can step up to the plate and try to prove me wrong and say,

00:41:53.400 no, you're wrong, you're wrong. 0.93

00:41:54.660 Here's a list.

00:41:55.220 Here's 26 people, not white, and, you know, are among the top 50 greatest and most influential Americans.

00:42:07.820 I'd love to see it.

00:42:09.640 And yet, in spite of all this, our country now is full of people who think that white people not only weren't the predominant builders of the country,

00:42:17.760 but didn't build it at all. 0.83

00:42:20.160 I mean, it's, it is, it's just, it's lunacy.

00:42:24.320 It is total lunacy.

00:42:26.600 And this is what we're dealing with.

00:42:29.180 As a happily married man, I have some dating advice.

00:43:42.800 Speaking of lunacy, in many ways, well, in many ways, this is not really worthy of a headline.

00:43:49.680 But there is actually something important to glean from this video, which I will play and which you will no doubt find deeply troubling and grotesque on multiple levels, both aesthetically and in terms of the content of what is being said.

00:44:04.060 So here's a TikTok video that's gone viral where a woman with a lot of facial piercings, and that's an understatement, explains what she will do if ICE ever comes knocking on her door. 0.97

00:44:16.320 Listen.

00:44:16.520 I really pray it doesn't get bad enough, but being a mom in America, I had to stop walking for this.

00:44:23.420 I often think that if it gets to the point of knocking on doors, God, and like, to even have these thoughts, it's like I'm literally separating from reality right now.

00:44:35.140 If it comes down to me taking out myself and my kids versus us being taken and harmed by ICE, like, God help me, I did not want to do it.

00:44:47.220 This is not the life I wanted.

00:44:48.740 But that is a very dark thought that I've had. 0.99

00:44:51.360 Death would be a easier out than for my children to be taken and harmed by these pedophiles. 0.96

00:44:59.060 Okay, so this woman, who by my account has approximately 8 billion facial piercings, says that, I mean, she's pierced parts of her face that I didn't even know you could pierce. 0.99

00:45:14.340 I guess you could pierce any part of your body, I suppose.

00:45:17.580 But it's like a random piercing just like on her forehead and her cheek.

00:45:22.360 It's like, but anyway, she says that she will take out herself and her kids, i.e. commit a murder-suicide if ICE ever comes knocking on her door. 0.99

00:45:36.360 But in spite of the fact that she is pretty clearly and tragically an American citizen, I mean, she's pretty clearly, this is an American citizen, she was almost certainly born here and, for all we know, has been here for generations and is a legal citizen.

00:45:53.700 Sadly, as much as I would like to think that she's not, so ICE would have no reason to ever come for her.

00:46:04.180 There is, however, now reason for the FBI and local law enforcement and certainly CPS to come, which they must.

00:46:15.060 I'm not saying that as a joke or as a bit or something.

00:46:17.880 CPS needs to step in.

00:46:19.720 I mean, these children are in danger.

00:46:21.180 That's the first thing.

00:46:22.540 These children are in very real danger.

00:46:25.580 And so if that doesn't get your kids taken away permanently, then I don't know what does. 0.98

00:46:33.740 But the other thing we glean from this is that, you know, aside from the fact that has been observed so many times, liberalism is a mental disorder, truly is. 0.99

00:46:42.980 These people are deranged. 1.00

00:46:44.160 They're unwell. 1.00

00:46:44.640 But aside from that, the level of ignorance that we're dealing with, not just stupidity, although there's plenty of that. 1.00

00:46:52.540 But ignorance. 1.00

00:46:54.200 Like, these people don't know anything.

00:46:57.520 They actually don't know what ICE is or what it even does.

00:47:06.080 They're out there in the streets protesting, and they're making these TikTok videos constantly, and they're freaking out about it.

00:47:13.220 They don't even know what ICE is.

00:47:15.000 If you were to stop a random protester on the street and ask them, what are you out here for?

00:47:22.320 Oh, down with ICE.

00:47:24.720 What is ICE?

00:47:25.540 It's, it's, they, they, they're, they're bad.

00:47:29.980 They do bad things.

00:47:32.000 They do bad things.

00:47:35.640 They're, I mean, they're genuinely clueless.

00:47:39.760 So much of the outrage over ICE is comprised of people who sincerely have no idea what it even is.

00:47:46.840 They think that it's some random federal agency that comes, comes and kidnaps random American citizens for no reason.

00:47:56.540 They think that ICE is a, is the kidnapping agency.

00:48:01.580 ICE stands for, like, what do they think ICE stands for?

00:48:05.080 What, what does she think ICE, I-C-E, stands for?

00:48:09.500 Like, I don't, I can't even, I'll capture everyone.

00:48:16.880 Is that what they think ICE stands for?

00:48:18.120 I'll capture everyone.

00:48:20.680 So when someone shows up and says they're with ICE, they're saying they're going to capture everyone.

00:48:23.840 I mean, maybe they think it stands for I'll kidnap everyone, but they think that's, that kidnap starts with a C.

00:48:28.560 Who knows? 1.00

00:48:31.040 Um, but this is what they, I mean, these people are, are stupid beyond all recognition. 1.00

00:48:39.500 At least that's true of the cattle, of the sheep out on the street and making these TikTok videos. 1.00

00:48:47.660 People driving all this, they know better.

00:48:50.040 You know, they're taking advantage of the ignorance of their foot soldiers. 1.00

00:48:53.460 Um, evil forces in society are manipulating these idiots with the most ridiculous lies imaginable. 1.00

00:49:00.600 Which isn't to excuse the sheep, not at all. 1.00

00:49:03.220 It's just to point out how this works.

00:49:04.800 This is not an excuse. 1.00

00:49:05.640 Um, it's your responsibility as an American citizen to not be this stupid and ignorant. 1.00

00:49:13.140 But, uh, but this, this is how it works. 1.00

00:49:16.640 And this is how unbelievably clueless these morons actually are. 0.99

00:49:20.800 Now, the thing that's working in our favor, the thing preventing these people from acting out even more drastically than they already are. 1.00

00:49:27.200 The thing, frankly, that will hopefully save that woman's poor children is that while they're stupid and ignorant and, uh, you know, while these are people who are credulous moronic dupes, they're also performative and fake. 0.99

00:49:48.900 And they're motivated most of all by a desperate need for attention. 1.00

00:49:54.920 You know, this woman threatened to annihilate her whole family for the sake of being dramatic on TikTok and getting attention. 1.00

00:50:03.620 Which is not to say the threats should not be taken seriously.

00:50:05.640 They should.

00:50:06.400 She should permanently lose custody of her children. 0.97

00:50:08.340 But the, I guess we can say silver lining here is that in, in most cases, these people are, they're performative, theatrical.

00:50:21.840 And, you know, that's why she really posted that as, as demented as it is.

00:50:26.700 She posted it purely for the comments and the clicks and the likes. 0.92

00:50:33.280 She's threatening to commit murder-suicide against her entire family. 0.97

00:50:37.480 And she's doing it for attention.

00:50:42.080 So, you know, that's the takeaway.

00:50:44.940 And the last takeaway here is that anybody with that many facial piercings should be assumed incompetent and should lose the right to vote or to participate in society in any other capacity.

00:50:54.920 And I am so deadly serious when I say that.

00:51:00.020 I'm not proposing that as a joke.

00:51:02.300 I mean, it's never going to happen, but I sincerely believe.

00:51:05.980 If you show up to the voting booth looking like that, you should not be allowed to vote.

00:51:12.060 And you should be stripped of, you should be disenfranchised.

00:51:16.020 Like, you are not a stable person. 1.00

00:51:20.420 You just look at you, you're, you're instable, you're incompetent, and you're very dumb. 1.00

00:51:24.920 And you're self-destructive. 1.00

00:51:28.100 You're, you're self-destructive.

00:51:29.620 You're harming yourself on purpose and you're wearing it on your face. 1.00

00:51:34.660 We're going to let a self, we're going to let a stupid, incompetent, self-destructive person into the voting booth. 1.00

00:51:39.700 We're going to let them help determine the direction of the country. 1.00

00:51:43.700 Let me ask you, if someone looking like that sat down in the captain's chair of the plane that you're about to, that's about to take off.

00:51:56.400 Would you ever, in a million years, stay on that plane?

00:52:01.180 Would you ever, in a million years, stay on a plane if, as you're boarding, you, you glance into the cockpit and you see that?

00:52:07.620 You see that.

00:52:08.520 You see that pin cushion sitting there.

00:52:11.480 You see the guy from, what, Hellraiser sitting there.

00:52:13.800 Would you do anything but just immediately turn around?

00:52:18.120 Well, I guess I'm not.

00:52:18.960 Wherever I'm going, I guess I'm not going.

00:52:21.300 Never mind.

00:52:21.880 Sorry, not coming home for Christmas.

00:52:24.120 I'm not.

00:52:25.080 Nope.

00:52:25.500 So, we never would, and yet we're going to let that person help steer the plane of the whole country?

00:52:34.400 That doesn't make any sense to me.

00:52:36.660 Looking good shouldn't feel like a chore, which is why our sponsor Mizzen and Main revolutionized menswear over a decade ago when they invented the Performance Fabric Dress Shirt.

00:52:46.000 It's only gotten better since then.

00:52:47.420 These aren't your grandfather's stiff, sweaty button-downs that need babysitting at the dry cleaner.

00:52:52.100 We're talking stretchy, lightweight, moisture-wicking, wrinkle-resistant shirts and pants that you can toss in the washing machine and wear straight out of the dryer.

00:53:01.600 Whether you're stuck in back-to-back meetings, traveling for work, or sneaking in nine holes, you'll actually feel comfortable while looking like you have your life together.

00:53:09.840 Plus, Mizzen and Main is veteran-led and has year-round military discounts and donations to veteran organizations, so you can feel good about where your money's going.

00:53:17.160 Bottom line, it's the kind of timeless style that doesn't fall apart after three washes, which is exactly why thousands of guys swear by Mizzen and Main when they want to look good without the hassle.

00:53:27.360 Last thing I need are clothes that require a ton of effort when my days are already packed.

00:53:32.220 I have an allergy to ironing for some reason.

00:53:36.160 I just refuse to do it.

00:53:37.060 Well, with Mizzen and Main, I can go throughout my day without attracting every wrinkle on the planet, and I can just throw it on without having to iron anything.

00:54:04.360 Investing is all about the future.

00:54:06.360 So what do you think is going to happen?

00:54:08.380 Bitcoin is sort of inevitable at this point.

00:54:10.860 I think it would come down to precious metals.

00:54:13.080 I hope we don't go cashless.

00:54:15.560 I would say land is a safe investment.

00:54:18.100 Technology, companies, solar energy.

00:54:26.180 So whatever you think is going to happen in the future, you can invest in it at Wealthsimple.

00:54:31.920 Start now at Wealthsimple.com.

00:54:35.720 Let's see.

00:54:38.340 All right.

00:54:38.960 So I wasn't sure if I would comment on this, and normally it's the kind of thing that I don't comment on, but I do feel compelled to say a few things.

00:54:49.480 So over on X right now, there's a new episode of Right Wing Influencer Soap Opera happening.

00:55:01.160 There's a new episode of Days of Our Lives, the Right Wing Influencer Edition.

00:55:05.280 And I'm not going to get into all the embarrassing details.

00:55:07.920 You can go find out about it yourself.

00:55:10.300 It's all over the place.

00:55:12.360 Just a brief overview so you understand what is precipitating what I'm about to say.

00:55:17.860 As the story goes, allegedly, Elijah Schaefer, who's a conservative podcaster and commentator, influencer guy, is now headed for a divorce.

00:55:27.760 And it was revealed that allegedly he had an affair with a woman named Sarah Stock, who's a conservative influencer, sort of recent, new to the scene, kind of recent, and was herself in a relationship with a man that she eventually married.

00:55:40.880 But before she married him, but was in a relationship with the guy, this tryst was going on.

00:55:44.220 And I don't know what's true or what isn't.

00:55:46.720 I can't confirm anything, obviously.

00:55:48.440 There are text messages and audio recordings, which were posted by Milo Yiannopoulos.

00:55:54.740 I don't know how he got them.

00:55:56.420 And there are stories of alcohol and drugs on the part of Schaefer, other lurid details, affairs happening at CPAC, which part of the story you hear often with these soap operas of conservative conferences turning into drug-fueled orgies and all that.

00:56:14.220 So all that stuff is out there.

00:56:15.260 It's all going viral.

00:56:16.340 I'm not revealing anything that isn't plastered everywhere already.

00:56:19.240 And I have nothing to say about the specifics because I don't know anything.

00:56:23.360 I don't know these people.

00:56:24.400 I've met Elijah a few times.

00:56:25.440 I think we did Tim Pool's show together one or two times.

00:56:31.060 Sarah Stock, I've mentioned on the show once or twice.

00:56:34.320 She was in that clip of the Surrounded episode where I think she did a good job.

00:56:39.860 But never met her and I don't know her.

00:56:43.080 Apparently, she worked with Elijah or for him.

00:56:45.820 He was her boss in his conservative media company called The Rift.

00:56:50.040 It's all very sad.

00:56:50.980 I feel bad for the families.

00:56:51.920 I feel bad about the whole thing.

00:56:54.180 I take no pleasure in any of it.

00:56:55.980 I can't imagine how anybody would.

00:56:58.420 Certainly not here to gloat or gossip.

00:57:00.460 Pray for everybody involved.

00:57:01.640 I hope all the damaged lives can be repaired.

00:57:05.140 I just feel compelled to say a few things in the way of advice or words of caution.

00:57:12.500 And really, it's just this.

00:57:15.460 Because anytime I see a married man whose life comes crumbling down because he was off having affairs and partying and doing all that kind of stuff,

00:57:26.080 which, let's be honest, is pretty common.

00:57:30.180 I mean, it's pretty common in general.

00:57:32.840 It's pretty common in the business, in my business.

00:57:35.980 There's a lot of that going on.

00:57:37.520 And a lot of it does happen at conservative conferences like CPAC and all those kinds of events.

00:57:44.900 That's why I don't have a lot of friends in this business.

00:57:47.140 I have a small group of people that I would consider friends who I know and work with and trust.

00:57:51.560 I have a larger group of acquaintances who I, you know, would sometimes call friends in a sense, but I work with, but I don't, I don't, or I've worked with, or friendly with, I don't really hang out with, though.

00:58:04.060 As for everyone else, I don't, you know, I don't know.

00:58:07.560 I don't know these people.

00:58:08.240 I don't talk to them.

00:58:09.440 I don't go to the events.

00:58:12.880 If I do go, it's just to give a speech and leave.

00:58:16.060 Never go to the after parties.

00:58:19.020 I've been to CPAC a couple of times.

00:58:20.700 I mean, we were there last year.

00:58:21.840 We did a, we did a podcast from the stage, not going to like an after party.

00:58:27.000 No.

00:58:28.040 On the rare occasion that I do go to any kind of like conservative function, usually because I'm speaking or something, if there's a party or a cocktail hour or whatever, and I, and I always want to avoid those, but sometimes, especially when I'm speaking, they'll go, they'll say, well, we got this cocktail hour ahead of time.

00:58:47.760 Would you want to go to that? 0.97

00:58:48.880 And my answer is, could I, can you just stab me to death instead? 1.00

00:58:53.960 Can you just stab me? 1.00

00:58:55.220 How about that? 0.99

00:58:56.440 You want me to go to your cocktail hour? 1.00

00:58:57.660 How about instead you just stab me in the face to death? 1.00

00:59:01.340 Can we do that instead? 1.00

00:59:02.660 That's my counter.

00:59:03.540 But sometimes you got to go.

00:59:05.820 It's all part of the thing.

00:59:06.820 So, and I prefer to bring my wife to those kinds of things. 0.99

00:59:10.840 Anyway, all that to say, these kinds of scandals are not uncommon in society generally and in the media business, especially.

00:59:18.900 So here's what I want to say to the, to the men out there.

00:59:22.840 And this applies to women too. 0.99

00:59:24.200 You know, there was, there was, there was a woman involved in this story, allegedly.

00:59:27.440 And, but I'm a man.

00:59:28.980 And so I want to talk to the men.

00:59:31.020 As a man, if you want to be happy, which who doesn't, as far as I can tell, there are three things that you should have if you want to be happy.

00:59:45.980 And it's really only three things.

00:59:48.360 So it's actually pretty, pretty simple.

00:59:50.020 That's the good news.

00:59:50.680 First of all, you need to have a faith.

00:59:55.140 You know, a man cannot be happy without having some sense of ultimate purpose in his life.

01:00:00.300 What's it all for?

01:00:01.400 What does it all mean?

01:00:03.460 The answer can't be nothing.

01:00:06.540 There's no happiness in that.

01:00:08.380 Second, you need a family, a wife and children who you love and who love you.

01:00:12.780 And third, you need a profession.

01:00:14.340 You need, you need a vocation that is important to you.

01:00:18.880 And I say important to you because that's what I mean.

01:00:23.380 It's, you know, it, it, it, you don't need other people to think that it's important.

01:00:27.600 Everyone has different jobs, different vocations, and you might do something for a living that other people look at and they don't think it's that important or they don't see why you care about it that much.

01:00:35.060 It doesn't matter.

01:00:36.600 You have to think that what you go out and do every day matters.

01:00:41.640 It doesn't really matter if other people find it important.

01:00:44.580 You have to find it important.

01:00:45.920 If you don't do anything, right, if you aren't pursuing any goal, if you have no vocation, if you have no profession as a man, that is a recipe for misery.

01:00:56.300 That's just pure misery.

01:00:57.540 And if you do something every day that you don't think matters, that doesn't even matter to you, that isn't even important to you, then that is also misery.

01:01:09.580 Either one of those things is misery.

01:01:11.220 So if you have a faith, if you have a family, if you have a job, you know, a vocation that matters to you, then you have everything.

01:01:20.460 Like you have all of the ingredients for a happy life, all of the ingredients you could ever need.

01:01:27.000 You don't need any other ingredients.

01:01:29.700 You don't need to look around and say, I need to add to this.

01:01:31.860 I need more.

01:01:32.400 No, you don't.

01:01:33.760 Stop looking.

01:01:34.560 You won.

01:01:35.140 You got it.

01:01:35.700 Now the goal is to grow in each of those categories.

01:01:41.060 So it's not over.

01:01:43.540 But you have the loving family, you have faith, and you have a profession, you have a job you care about, you have a vocation.

01:01:49.460 Well, now, grow.

01:01:51.640 You grow in faith, you grow in your love and devotion to your family, you grow in your career, in your profession, whatever it is.

01:01:59.240 And that's all you need for a happy life. 0.96

01:02:03.260 And then don't f*** it up.

01:02:05.700 Like, sorry to be crass, but your goal as a man should be to have those things, faith, family, a job that matters to you. 0.97

01:02:14.320 And if you have all that, don't f*** it up.

01:02:18.040 Because so often I see men who have all that, they have it all. 0.98

01:02:21.100 Like, really, you have it all.

01:02:22.480 And they squander it.

01:02:24.400 And women do this, too. 1.00

01:02:25.480 You know, there are plenty of cases where women have a happy, loving family, a loving spouse who's loyal to them, and they go and they ruin it. 1.00

01:02:33.300 They ruin it.

01:02:34.040 For nothing.

01:02:36.740 Like, for nothing at all.

01:02:37.800 What are you getting out of this?

01:02:39.260 You go and have an affair or something.

01:02:40.820 It's like, it's destined.

01:02:42.680 It's guaranteed misery.

01:02:44.200 It's guaranteed. 0.99

01:02:45.280 You're ruining your life.

01:02:46.420 You're going to regret this forever.

01:02:47.520 You're not going to be happy.

01:02:49.160 You are ruining everything.

01:02:51.580 Why?

01:02:51.940 So, I'm not putting it all on men, but I'm just, I'm talking about men right now, and I think I can more credibly, like, give the ingredients for a happy life for men, because I am one.

01:03:01.500 But here's the thing.

01:03:04.300 If you're a man and you have a family, because all that seems obvious enough, although it can't be said enough.

01:03:09.140 If you're a man and you have a family and you have a job, but you crave more excitement, you know, you want more action, you want more excitement, you want more of a challenge, you want more to do.

01:03:24.140 That's fine.

01:03:25.120 That's good.

01:03:26.820 You should feel that.

01:03:27.880 I feel that.

01:03:29.100 So, go and find that excitement, find that risk-taking in your pursuits, in your profession, in your vocation, whatever that looks like.

01:03:38.240 Don't be reckless. 1.00

01:03:39.240 Don't be stupid, especially if you have a family, if you have kids. 1.00

01:03:41.580 But, you know, men do crave excitement. 1.00

01:03:43.980 And what I'm saying is that you should harness that energy into your pursuits.

01:03:49.360 I'm not saying that you get married and have kids and all that, and you become this, like, domesticated eunuch who has no other goals and ambitions and has no desire to, like, get out there in the world and do something.

01:03:59.980 I'm not saying that at all.

01:04:01.940 You don't want to become that.

01:04:04.160 But you harness that.

01:04:05.860 Like, every man needs a mountain to climb.

01:04:07.860 We all need that.

01:04:09.020 So, I'm not saying that a man should have his family and his job and just be content to coast and glide for the rest of his days.

01:04:15.600 No, you need a mountain.

01:04:16.420 You need a challenge.

01:04:17.200 So, find that in your profession.

01:04:19.560 Find that in your career.

01:04:21.300 Maybe a hobby, too, you know, or something like that.

01:04:23.640 Like, that can also be an outlet for that kind of masculine drive to challenge yourself, to find excitement.

01:04:31.700 And, you know, for me, I do what I do every day.

01:04:34.240 It's important to me.

01:04:36.180 Other people sometimes will look at what I do and say, ah, you just talk for a living.

01:04:40.460 It's frivolous.

01:04:41.680 And that's fine.

01:04:42.980 I think it's important.

01:04:44.220 I care about it.

01:04:44.940 But the thing that really excites me in my specific, like, career path is making movies.

01:04:52.100 So, over the past five years, I've discovered for myself a new challenge, something that I find very exciting.

01:04:58.600 Very difficult, extremely rewarding, and that's where I harness most of my sort of risk-taking, excitement-seeking energy into that.

01:05:11.100 And for you, it will, you know, be something different, whatever it is.

01:05:16.160 But here's the crucial point.

01:05:18.480 As a grown man, you should not be seeking excitement in your personal life, in your social life.

01:05:27.180 You shouldn't be seeking it at parties or bars.

01:05:32.840 You shouldn't be seeking it in the company of other women, most of all. 1.00

01:05:36.160 As a grown man, your personal life should be one of peace and contentment and quiet.

01:05:43.340 I mean, as quiet as it can be.

01:05:44.580 I got six kids at home, you know, but spiritually, spiritually quiet.

01:05:49.240 If you want to mix things up, you know, you're feeling bored, take on a new project.

01:05:56.000 Pursue a new goal.

01:05:56.800 Like, try to achieve something.

01:05:59.900 You don't want an exciting personal life full of drama and challenge.

01:06:06.460 You don't want that.

01:06:08.120 Like, you want a personal life that is peaceful and quiet and stable and reliable, and you know what you're going to get.

01:06:15.640 With people you know and people you love and people you trust.

01:06:18.620 And so, some men, this is what I see, they take the wrong path, and they end up in the reverse scenario.

01:06:27.520 This is the worst possible world that you could be in.

01:06:31.300 And these are men whose professional lives often are dull and unfulfilling.

01:06:35.860 They're not really pursuing anything meaningful.

01:06:37.940 They're not doing anything that they care about.

01:06:40.400 But their personal lives are full of drama and intrigue and dysfunction.

01:06:48.680 And when you talk to them, they always have a new problem.

01:06:50.660 They always have a new obstacle.

01:06:52.180 But not the good kind of problem, right?

01:06:53.820 Not the problem that someone who's doing something exciting, doing something important, doing something meaningful,

01:06:58.840 like they run into problems in pursuit of that goal.

01:07:01.780 That's one kind of problem to have.

01:07:03.400 But these are people who have personal problems, relationship problems.

01:07:06.780 These are men with tension and suspense in their personal lives because they have secrets that they're always working to keep hidden

01:07:14.480 and lies that they're trying to keep straight, right?

01:07:20.260 Lots of excitement, lots of suspense, and the wrong kind.

01:07:26.960 What you want is a home that is properly ordered, that is peaceful and loving,

01:07:31.180 that you can come back to after a day spent pursuing whatever your goals are.

01:07:34.680 And that's what you want.

01:07:36.820 I know for me, like the picture of happiness, life at its peak, for me,

01:07:41.660 is when I spend the day working on something very difficult and challenging,

01:07:45.780 but important to me, where the stakes are high, success is not certain, you know, it could, it might not work out.

01:07:54.120 And then I go home and I'm home with my wife and my kids.

01:07:58.220 I listen to my children tell me about their day and all the things that happen

01:08:02.080 that are objectively less important than what I've been doing.

01:08:06.060 But I listen and I care.

01:08:07.860 And now my mind is focused on something smaller, something closer to home.

01:08:13.840 And they rarely ask me about my day.

01:08:17.740 I find a lot of comfort in that.

01:08:19.180 I find a lot of comfort in it.

01:08:20.140 I could go, I could be dealing with stuff and I got a lot of things going on and all these sorts of things.

01:08:24.960 And then I come home and it's like, what's going on with you guys?

01:08:28.060 And they'll unload all their stories.

01:08:31.320 And very rarely do they say, what's going on with you, dad?

01:08:35.700 And I'm, to me, that is happiness.

01:08:40.600 Because I'm home now and that's what matters is that I'm home.

01:08:45.160 And that's all a man can ask for.

01:08:46.960 So if you don't have that, go find it, go pursue it.

01:08:54.500 Don't be satisfied until you get it.

01:08:58.200 This is every man's birthright.

01:09:01.040 I mean, this is what every man should have.

01:09:03.580 And you should pursue it.

01:09:05.500 But once you have it, keep it.

01:09:07.820 Once you have it, keep it.

01:09:09.260 Guard it with your life.

01:09:10.500 Go out and, you know, sometimes take risks professionally.

01:09:14.060 Maybe make some smart gambles on occasion that, if they don't pay off, may set you back.

01:09:20.340 Again, you've got to be smart about it, especially if you have kids.

01:09:22.660 But you should be doing that kind of thing, taking gambles, taking risks.

01:09:27.500 I believe in that.

01:09:30.100 Never take any risks in your personal life.

01:09:33.980 That's where you don't want to be risky.

01:09:37.820 Never take any risks.

01:09:39.800 Never go in any situation.

01:09:41.020 Put yourself in any situation where it's like, eh, this could get weird.

01:09:47.500 All right, that's the thing.

01:09:48.520 I'm going to go to the after party with her.

01:09:50.020 I'm going to hang out with this woman who I know from white. 0.82

01:09:53.840 That's risk.

01:09:54.600 That's weird.

01:09:57.540 You're putting stuff on the line that should never be on the line.

01:10:02.040 Because that thing you have, your loving family,

01:10:04.660 that is the one thing that you never put on the line.

01:10:11.740 You can put all your chips on the table.

01:10:13.280 Never put those on the table.

01:10:15.060 That's for you.

01:10:18.000 Never put yourself in a position to lose that.

01:10:20.600 Ever.

01:10:21.980 Ever.

01:10:23.760 So, that's the, that's kind of the fundamental mistake I see being made very often.

01:10:29.680 And it's always sad to see.

01:10:31.420 That's my, that's my sermon.

01:10:33.300 We'll just end it there for today.

01:10:34.620 Thanks for watching.

01:10:35.200 Thanks for listening.

01:10:36.480 Talk to you tomorrow.

01:10:37.160 Have a great day.

01:10:38.140 Godspeed.

01:10:38.420 Godspeed.

01:10:38.500 Godspeed.

01:10:38.540 Godspeed.

01:10:39.420 Godspeed.

01:10:40.420 Godspeed.

01:10:41.020 Godspeed.

01:10:44.820 They told you America invented slavery.

01:10:48.380 They told you the Indians were peaceful.

01:10:51.920 They told you colonialism was evil and that Joseph McCarthy was a bad guy.

01:10:57.320 And guess what?

01:10:58.560 They lied.

01:11:00.060 For half a century, generations of American schoolchildren have been taught to hate our history,
