Summary
A river of sewage is flowing into the Potomac, and when you dig into the story and who is responsible, you start to see why the media doesn t want to talk about it. Also, Canada euthanized a man with seasonal depression. This is yet one more atrocity committed by the Canadian regime, which I would argue is among the most evil on earth. And CNN launches an attack on Christian nationalism, but accidentally makes Christian nationalism sound great.

Today on the Matt Wall Show, it's not getting much attention from the media,
00:00:19.560
but one of the worst ecological disasters in American history is currently unfolding.
00:00:26.620
When you dig into the story and who is responsible for it,
00:00:28.980
you start to see why the media doesn't want to talk about it.
00:00:32.460
Also, Canada euthanized a man with seasonal depression.
00:00:35.520
This is yet one more atrocity committed by the Canadian regime,
00:00:38.680
which I would argue is among the most evil on earth.
00:00:41.480
So when do we overthrow them if we're in the business of overthrowing evil regimes?
00:00:45.720
And CNN launches an attack on Christian nationalism,
00:00:48.020
but accidentally makes Christian nationalism sound great, which it is.
00:00:52.940
All of that and more today on the Matt Wall Show.
00:00:58.980
Well, just as a matter of historical fact, ever since the Cold War ended,
00:01:24.180
Americans haven't spent that much time thinking about day-to-day life in other countries.
00:01:29.380
But not too long ago, our leaders would encourage us to compare the quality of life
00:01:33.220
in the United States with the quality of life in foreign nations.
00:01:37.160
That was the idea behind the kitchen debate, which Nixon attended in Moscow.
00:01:42.060
Americans had nicer kitchens, well-stocked supermarkets, air conditioning,
00:01:49.980
As commissars determined the precise level of heating they were entitled to on any given day,
00:01:54.600
anyone who simply looked at day-to-day life in the Soviet Union and then looked at the United States
00:01:58.940
would correctly conclude that we were on the right track and the Soviets were not.
00:02:03.540
It's interesting that we don't see many comparisons like this anymore.
00:02:07.840
You never see any of the big broadcasters telling you to zoom out
00:02:11.280
and consider what daily life is like in, say, South Africa.
00:02:14.380
Instead, they'll bombard you with endless stories about a celebrity kidnapping
00:02:19.120
or routine immigration enforcement or dumb podcast drama.
00:02:23.200
That's too bad because serious comparisons to other countries would be very illuminating right now.
00:02:28.500
Spend a few minutes doing it and you'll quickly discover just how third world
00:02:32.880
and dysfunctional we are becoming thanks to major Democrat-run cities.
00:02:41.460
This is just a random news report I found from a couple of months ago,
00:02:49.120
All right, let's bring in the Cajizo community.
00:02:51.840
Pardon me, the Cajizo community, just as background for you,
00:02:54.500
is just one of many across the country grappling with this issue of a sewage spill crisis.
00:02:59.880
Less and less wastewater is being treated in South Africa, even though our population is growing.
00:03:04.620
In fact, recent data showing that the volume of wastewater reaching South Africa's treatment plants
00:03:09.040
did not grow from 2013 to 2021, even though the population increased by almost,
00:03:19.280
So this means, according to the research you've done, Mark,
00:03:23.900
that the wastewater is going missing somewhere along the route to the wastewater treatment works.
00:03:31.020
I mean, we've seen an example of that in the community of Cajizo, west of Johannesburg,
00:03:36.600
where there are pipes that are just spilling out.
00:03:39.420
Like, you can see the pipe is constantly pushing out vast amounts of water,
00:03:45.180
and residents say, just because of, merely because of the stench in the area,
00:03:52.360
This sewage here is flowing directly from the plant works in the yard.
00:04:06.260
It's flowing in this direction a few hundred meters on this paddle.
00:04:11.860
That's where it meets the blue heart sprayed, the river.
00:04:16.060
And at that point, the water turns black as it mixes with this shit from the wax.
00:04:26.720
So it's no mystery why they have a big cholera and E. coli problem over there.
00:04:32.760
In addition to South Africa's many other issues,
00:04:35.500
including having the worst unemployment rate in the world,
00:04:38.900
collapsing buildings in every street, a failing electric grid,
00:04:48.200
And indeed, that's a defining characteristic of virtually every third world nation,
00:04:55.740
Now, it wasn't always like this in South Africa,
00:04:57.340
because before they kicked the white people out of positions of power
00:05:06.740
But now that racial equity has been achieved in South Africa,
00:05:09.980
the residents are noticing that it's not safe to fish or drink the water
00:05:17.200
So then you have to ask the million-dollar question,
00:05:20.260
could those two developments, the racial equity
00:05:22.520
and the poop in the water, possibly be connected?
00:05:27.080
One way to answer this challenging question is to compare
00:05:29.520
South Africa's headlines to our own in the United States.
00:05:33.980
This is from NBC News reporting in America just the other day.
00:05:39.120
The river George Washington called the nation's river is tonight off-limits
00:05:45.240
and contaminated after a 60-year-old sewage line in Maryland broke open last month,
00:05:50.680
spewing more than 240 million gallons of raw waste into the river,
00:05:55.580
the same river that flows past the Kennedy Center and the Lincoln Memorial
00:05:59.160
and used by boaters, kayakers, high school and college rowing teams.
00:06:03.620
So you can see some of the toilet paper and the sewage up on the banks there.
00:06:07.420
River keeper Dean Nelyukes says the stench and environmental damage are staggering,
00:06:12.980
with E. coli levels more than 10,000 times above EPA quality standards at the time of the spill.
00:06:19.560
While slowly coming down, health experts warn no one should be boating, fishing or even touching the Potomac.
00:06:28.820
No. From day one, drinking water has never been impacted by this.
00:06:32.500
But massive boulders that collapsed into the six-foot-wide pipe are delaying the repair.
00:06:37.380
So more than 240 million gallons of sewage have entered the Potomac River, and counting.
00:06:48.220
That's by far the largest sewage spill in American history.
00:06:52.220
And although the pipe burst in Maryland, D.C. Water Department owns the pipe that's affected,
00:07:03.340
Well, for comparison, during the Deepwater Horizon disaster,
00:07:06.300
around 140 million gallons of oil were released into the Gulf.
00:07:11.300
So the scale of Deepwater Horizon was smaller, a lot smaller.
00:07:16.840
And they had movies and congressional hearings about that one.
00:07:21.900
By contrast, the situation in D.C. isn't attracting very much attention at all.
00:07:30.040
The sewage is just flowing directly into the water, as you can see.
00:07:34.920
And although it's too early to know exactly what happened here,
00:07:40.400
that government incompetence is the direct cause of the disaster that is still currently unfolding.
00:07:49.180
What's going unreported is that the Potomac Interceptor sewage spill,
00:07:53.740
is happening just 1,000 feet down from where contractors for the D.C. Water Department
00:07:57.620
have been rehabilitating the sewer lines since September 8, 2025 via the slip lining process.
00:08:05.080
focuses on restoring an 800-foot segment of the sanitary sewer system.
00:08:11.200
And one of those contractors less than a year ago
00:08:13.120
was reportedly sued by the D.C. government for recklessly contaminating the D.C. waterways.
00:08:20.880
Could this be why a large section of the Potomac Interceptor sewer line,
00:08:27.420
Did the D.C. government hire an incompetent contractor
00:08:30.340
who the D.C. government knew from experience was incompetent,
00:08:33.900
which in turn messed up this slip lining procedure?
00:08:37.220
Did the pressure after the new pipe was installed get too high?
00:08:39.820
Was there some other failure that was involved?
00:08:45.520
slip lining, according to the D.C. government's website,
00:08:53.040
which are then pushed into the Potomac Interceptor,
00:08:56.900
It's a high-risk procedure that could cause the pipe to fail.
00:09:00.920
And right now, it looks like that's exactly what happened.
00:09:03.900
The latest estimates are that the problem won't be fixed
00:09:09.080
all because of the incompetence of the D.C. government.
00:09:15.060
but it's important to point out that D.C. has been having
00:09:21.380
Last summer, the city canceled two separate community swim days
00:09:28.720
Now, officially, the issue was reported as pollution concerns
00:09:31.380
and a high risk of contracting E. coli following a rainstorm.
00:09:35.060
The translation, of course, is that every time it rains,
00:09:45.880
600 million gallons of sewage and runoff flow into the Potomac every year,
00:09:50.000
largely when heavy storms overwhelm D.C.'s aging sewers.
00:09:58.840
the drinking water is definitely 100% still safe.
00:10:03.860
And you can totally trust the officials in D.C. on that point.
00:10:08.520
Go take a big glass, take some water, take a big swig.
00:10:15.020
After all, from the moment these officials took control of the water department,
00:10:21.800
And to prove that point, here's a recent clip from one of those officials,
00:10:33.300
this was an organization that looked very similar to our industry.
00:10:37.900
It was predominantly, you know, white male at the top.
00:10:43.580
more than 70% people of color work at this utility.
00:10:46.960
And I really believe, and I still believe, and it has been fantastic.
00:10:54.300
But the people at the top, the executives, the chiefs in that C-suite,
00:10:59.540
they should look like the employees that they serve and that they work with.
00:11:07.300
And so my executive team, you know, looks exactly like the community.
00:11:11.920
It looks like the employees, the staff, you know, be it people of color, women, men.
00:11:20.180
And it's just a fantastic team that has come together to do a lot of great things here at D.C. Water
00:11:41.920
If that's fantastic, I would hate to see what outcome this guy would consider to be subpar.
00:11:48.400
If 240 million gallons of sewage is a fantastic, great outcome,
00:11:52.260
then what would even he call, you know, suboptimal?
00:12:03.640
it's vitally important to have a lot of people who aren't white.
00:12:07.260
The executives need to look like the employees,
00:12:09.900
because when you're drinking water out of the tap or taking a shower,
00:12:13.860
you know, the thing you care about is whether the people who ensured the cleanliness and safety of your water
00:12:22.240
And if you get E. coli or some other exotic disease or parasite in your intestines from the water,
00:12:28.380
well, you could take solace in the fact that while you're puking your guts out,
00:12:31.780
at least there was a sufficient level of diversity over in the water management department.
00:12:37.860
David Gaddis never explains why this is so important, but he doesn't really have to.
00:12:43.000
At this point, it's common knowledge that in many cases,
00:12:45.420
government employment functions like a jobs program for people who are not white.
00:12:50.280
It's one of those things that sounds offensive to some people, I guess,
00:12:55.580
but it's clearly true, and even Democrats will admit it.
00:12:59.840
If you've ever had the misfortune of walking into a DMV office, which any adult has,
00:13:06.080
you may have noticed that they typically aren't very diverse,
00:13:09.840
you know, or they're diverse only in the leftist sense of not being diverse at all.
00:13:14.480
Mostly black women, some black men, not a lot of white people over the DMV.
00:13:23.820
Neither are transit jobs or most administrative jobs in the government,
00:13:33.920
and once they get the jobs, they're basically impossible to fire.
00:13:38.200
This has led to the creation of the so-called black middle class,
00:13:41.660
which is almost entirely a tax-funded function of the government.
00:13:49.260
And again, Democrats themselves have admitted all of this.
00:13:52.560
To give just one example, USA Today published a headline a year ago that read,
00:13:56.000
quote, federal jobs were seen as a gateway to the middle class for black America,
00:14:02.420
In other words, taxpayer-funded jobs, useless bureaucratic jobs, many of them,
00:14:10.720
But if you try to audit those jobs and see if these people are actually earning their salaries,
00:14:20.320
aside from the racial discrimination against whites and Asians,
00:14:22.680
is that it makes society far more unpleasant and much more dangerous.
00:14:27.640
When incompetent people are running major city departments
00:14:30.380
simply because they're not white, things start to break.
00:14:34.280
That's what South Africa has been experiencing since they achieved racial equity,
00:14:45.960
The guy we just showed you, the water department CEO, David Gaddis,
00:14:50.040
used to be the executive vice president of a company called Veolia North America.
00:14:55.980
I might be mispronouncing that, but he was the CEO of Veolia Water Indianapolis.
00:15:05.580
And in that capacity, according to a class action lawsuit,
00:15:08.700
Gaddis and his company promised to employ their technical expertise
00:15:12.100
to ensure water quality for the people of the city of Flint, Michigan.
00:15:17.480
So yes, the guy in charge of D.C.'s water system
00:15:31.320
Veolia told the public that Flint's discolored drinking water
00:15:36.880
but it actually contained dangerous levels of lead.
00:15:41.420
knew problems extended beyond discoloration and foul odors,
00:15:47.840
Gaddis was copied on emails discussing potential lead issues
00:15:52.040
where officials repeatedly assured residents the water was safe.
00:15:55.380
By February 2025, Veolia had contributed $79.3 million to settlements
00:15:59.460
with Michigan and roughly 26,000 individual claimants.
00:16:03.200
The company maintains it stands behind its good work in Flint.
00:16:07.140
Gaddis joined D.C. Water before the settlement was reached.
00:16:11.080
So to recap, the D.C. Water Department hired an executive
00:16:13.580
whose previous work experience in Flint, Michigan
00:16:20.420
Apparently, under his guidance, or at least with his knowledge,
00:16:23.780
the people of Flint were told that it was safe to drink the water
00:16:26.040
and use it to mix baby formula and whatever else,
00:16:30.280
even though the residents were saying the water was green and brown,
00:16:32.980
smelled weird, gave people rashes, caused hair loss.
00:16:37.740
Let's stop here for a second just to zoom out a little bit.
00:16:41.400
Think about how many times you were told that the Flint water crisis
00:16:48.300
It was the argument that the entire corporate media went with.
00:16:54.920
Just to give one example, George Soros' foundation wrote that,
00:16:57.640
The environmental crisis brewing in Flint, Michigan,
00:17:02.920
for environmental, economic, and racial justice.
00:17:07.360
that some civil rights advocates have long described
00:17:11.120
a problem that gained new focus in the late 80s, early 90s,
00:17:15.780
that state and local governments routinely make decisions
00:17:30.560
was the news that an incompetent black executive
00:17:36.780
which later yielded a payout of nearly $100 million
00:17:47.980
And of course, all the black government officials
00:18:04.060
Actually, he didn't simply oversee the transition,
00:18:15.940
Never mind the fact that the water smelled funny
01:05:26.940
Now, as for Neil deGrasse Tyson, you know, I have
01:12:12.400
history, hate our country, and hate themselves.
01:12:17.340
And since no one else is going to do it, I will.
01:12:22.960
What were India and Africa like before Europeans
01:12:29.620
American history are designed to demoralize you.
01:12:41.280
On the real history of slavery, of colonialism,
