00:00:11.000 I would say land is a safe investment.

00:00:13.000 Technology companies.

00:00:15.000 Solar energy.

00:00:16.000 Robotic pollinators might be a thing. 1.00

00:00:18.000 A wrestler to face a robot?

00:00:20.000 That will have to happen.

00:00:30.000 Today on the Matt Wall Show,

00:00:31.000 the U.S. vanquishes Canada in hockey.

00:00:33.000 Is it time to vanquish the entire Canadian regime next?

00:00:36.000 We'll discuss.

00:00:37.000 Also, Mike Huckabee and Tucker Carlson

00:00:38.000 have a heated debate about Israel.

00:00:40.000 Mayor Zoram Amdani opposed voter ID,

00:00:43.000 but still requires 19 forms of ID

00:00:45.000 and 12 blood samples to shovel snow for some reason.

00:00:48.000 And Gavin Newsom stoops to new lows

00:00:49.000 in his attempt to pander to minority voters.

00:00:51.000 All of that and more today on the Matt Wall Show.

00:01:00.000 For the first time since 1980,

00:01:21.000 the U.S. men's hockey team has defeated our chief communist adversary

00:01:25.000 in front of the entire world at the Winter Olympics.

00:01:28.000 And if you watch the gold medal game and you're an American,

00:01:31.000 you were probably enjoying yourself the entire time.

00:01:34.000 I certainly was.

00:01:35.000 It was a close game.

00:01:36.000 It was a good game.

00:01:37.000 Went to overtime.

00:01:38.000 Our goalie looked like this, which is great.

00:01:42.000 He's got the American flag and a large mouth bass on his helmet there,

00:01:47.000 which is pretty hard to beat.

00:01:49.000 I never heard of that guy, to be honest with you, until yesterday.

00:01:52.000 And he's already my favorite professional athlete.

00:01:55.000 And on top of that, he stopped something like 40 shots during the game.

00:01:59.000 It was incredible to watch, even if you're not usually interested in hockey,

00:02:02.000 which I'm not.

00:02:03.000 Meanwhile, Jack Hughes took a stick to the face and lost a tooth,

00:02:09.000 scored the game winning goal, and then gave a post game interview that

00:02:13.000 was so patriotic that NBC tried to prevent people from sharing it on social media.

00:02:18.000 They started copyright striking it.

00:02:20.000 Watch.

00:02:22.000 Jack, the first gold medal for the United States in 46 years,

00:02:25.000 and you delivered it.

00:02:27.000 Can you just describe the emotions of this moment right now?

00:02:30.000 This is all about our country right now.

00:02:32.000 I love the USA.

00:02:34.000 I love my teammates.

00:02:36.000 It's unbelievable.

00:02:37.000 The USA Hockey Brotherhood is so strong.

00:02:40.000 And we have so much support from next players.

00:02:43.000 And I'm so proud to be American today.

00:02:45.000 This was...

00:02:46.000 Well, this was the spirit that most Americans shared as we watched the game.

00:03:10.000 We wanted our team to win because we're proud to be Americans.

00:03:14.000 And then when they won, we celebrated for the same reason.

00:03:18.000 Canadians, on the other hand, are not actually proud of their country.

00:03:22.000 And that's because, as Justin Trudeau famously announced a decade ago,

00:03:25.000 Canada isn't a country at all.

00:03:27.000 I mean, he said it himself.

00:03:28.000 According to him, it's a post-national, 0.98

00:03:30.000 colonialist, white supremacist blob. 0.83

00:03:34.000 So really, Canadians hate watch games like this. 0.98

00:03:38.000 They're not rooting for Canada so much as they're rooting for America to lose.

00:03:42.000 And then America doesn't lose.

00:03:43.000 And if you're Canadian, this is basically all you have at this point. 0.58

00:03:47.000 The Winter Olympics are your last stand.

00:03:50.000 Canada's economy is in free fall.

00:03:52.000 Toronto is 99% comprised of South Asian immigrants.

00:03:57.000 Canadians were just caught on camera cheating at curling.

00:04:02.000 Yes, curling.

00:04:04.000 And on top of that, hockey is the only sport that Canadians play.

00:04:09.000 It's the only thing that they do, that they're proud of.

00:04:13.000 It's their only skill.

00:04:14.000 And then they lost to the United States where hockey is basically like a niche interest.

00:04:19.000 It's not even a top five sport in this country.

00:04:24.000 And after all that, I think reasonable Canadians would have to ask,

00:04:27.000 what are we doing here?

00:04:28.000 I mean, other than burning churches and killing our own citizens,

00:04:31.000 including children and the elderly, what exactly do we excel at?

00:04:36.000 But Americans don't need to ask that question because our country is exceptional.

00:04:40.000 We excel at everything.

00:04:42.000 We're capable of dominating foreign countries and sports that they invented and play all the time.

00:04:48.000 Canadians obsess over hockey.

00:04:51.000 We barely think about it.

00:04:52.000 And we still beat them.

00:04:54.000 I think what I've proposed is that for our next trick,

00:04:58.000 we should assemble the greatest cricket team of all time

00:05:01.000 and then go win the cricket world series or whatever it's called.

00:05:04.000 I don't know.

00:05:05.000 I want to see hundreds of drunk Americans tailgating outside of the cricket stadium, 1.00

00:05:10.000 wherever that is, being as obnoxious as possible about a sport that none of us have watched or understand. 0.85

00:05:17.000 Now, for me personally, this historic victory came at a fortuitous time

00:05:22.000 because I've been taking a lot of flack from leftists, especially leftists in Canada,

00:05:27.000 for briefly making the argument last week that the United States would be morally justified in invading and conquering Canada.

00:05:36.000 At the very least, we would be just as, if not much more, morally justified in invading Canada

00:05:43.000 as we would be in invading literally any other country on the planet, to include Iran, by the way.

00:05:49.000 And now that we've conquered Canada on the ice, I think it's a good time to sort of add insult to injury

00:05:56.000 and lay out this case in thorough detail.

00:06:01.000 Now, I'm not necessarily saying that we should invade,

00:06:06.000 but I am saying that a very reasonable case can be made for it, unironically.

00:06:12.000 Now, in a moment, I'll outline that case from a moral, geopolitical, and strategic perspective.

00:06:18.000 But before I do so, I need to address the inevitable counterargument, which is that,

00:06:22.000 well, it'll never happen or, you know, it's crazy.

00:06:25.000 These aren't really arguments against invading Canada.

00:06:29.000 They're simply statements about what's likely to occur, but they're not persuasive,

00:06:34.000 especially after the United States took out Maduro in Venezuela.

00:06:37.000 I mean, there are many, many similarities between Venezuela and Canada.

00:06:41.000 Like Venezuela, Canada is a poor country that has badly mismanaged its vast natural resources,

00:06:47.000 resources that in a functioning state would produce immense wealth.

00:06:51.000 Like Venezuela, Canada does not respect freedom of speech.

00:06:54.000 They're a gross human rights violator.

00:06:57.000 Dissidents are routinely punished.

00:06:59.000 Their lives are destroyed for the crime of offending the government.

00:07:03.000 Like Venezuela, Canada has signaled its allegiance to China,

00:07:06.000 which poses an obvious threat to the security of this entire hemisphere.

00:07:10.000 And like Venezuela, Canada essentially has no military.

00:07:13.000 I mean, all we'd have to do is swoop in, activate the discombobulator thing that they used

00:07:19.000 and deport Mark Carney to someplace like London or New York, where he spent most of his life anyway.

00:07:26.000 It would be a casualty free one night war.

00:07:29.000 And many Canadians, particularly the ones living in Alberta, would welcome us as liberators.

00:07:35.000 We could put them in charge if we wanted to, just like we replaced Maduro.

00:07:39.000 It's not like the left wing Canadians would fight back.

00:07:41.000 They don't even have guns.

00:07:44.000 We did basically the same exact operation just a few weeks ago.

00:07:49.000 I mean, really, if you could do that in Venezuela and most Americans support it for good reason,

00:07:53.000 then why can't we do it to Canada for all the same reasons?

00:07:58.000 Now, an argument could be made that a similar operation, one that targets Ottawa, is necessary for, again, all the same reasons and more.

00:08:08.000 And we'll start with the fact that Canada is squandering its vast natural resources, which is a grave injustice that affects millions of lives.

00:08:15.000 Canada has almost unparalleled access to some of the most valuable God-given resources on the planet, and they're simply not using them.

00:08:23.000 And people are suffering in large numbers as a result.

00:08:26.000 Under the Don Roe doctrine, as we call it now, which our president has clearly laid out, this is a major problem that needs to be rectified.

00:08:33.000 By most estimates, Canada has around $800,000 in natural resource wealth per capita.

00:08:40.000 That's more than six times the resource wealth in the U.S. per capita.

00:08:45.000 So, in other words, given their small population, there's no reason why every Canadian shouldn't be well-off.

00:08:52.000 Every single one of them should have immediate access to high-quality health care, a home, stable income.

00:08:59.000 On a per-person basis, the typical Canadian should have more wealth than the typical American,

00:09:04.000 especially since the demographics of Canada, historically speaking until recently, have been relatively homogenous.

00:09:10.000 Now, what's happened instead is that Canada has squandered this wealth.

00:09:14.000 They've passed environmental regulations that make it difficult, if not impossible, to build new pipelines, pipelines, dams, mines.

00:09:23.000 Before anything can get done, they have gender equity reviews to conduct, and emission standards to meet, and high taxes to pay, and, of course, indigenous elders to consult.

00:09:34.000 Canadians appear to believe that it's important to sabotage their own economy for ideological reasons, which is what they're doing every day.

00:09:42.000 But whatever their reasoning, they're making themselves poor on purpose, and many Canadians don't appear to even realize it.

00:09:49.000 That's why there was mass hysteria among Canadians the other day when the Canadian paper Globe and Mail ran a story about just how poor Canadians are.

00:10:00.000 This was the title of the article, quote,

00:10:02.000 Out of nowhere, Canada became poorer than Alabama. How is that possible?

00:10:08.000 Now, it's a great headline for a couple of reasons. First of all, Canada didn't become poor out of nowhere.

00:10:15.000 There's a very clear line we can trace here. For 10 years, as you can see here on the chart, Canada's GDP per capita, which is a useful way to measure quality of life, has been going down, while ours has been going up.

00:10:28.000 And that means Americans have the benefit of a much stronger economy, which means more jobs and higher wages.

00:10:33.000 It began surging when Trump, in his first term, lowered the tax rate for businesses.

00:10:37.000 On the other hand, Canada's entire economy stalled the moment that liberals took over the government, raised taxes, increased regulations, began flooding the country with foreigners, mostly from South Asia.

00:10:47.000 This has been a very slow and very noticeable decline that's been happening.

00:10:52.000 To be more accurate, as you can see there, the percent of foreign born Canadians has been increasing for decades and it's accelerated even more in the past decade.

00:11:01.000 So there's nothing about Canada's economic situation that should catch anyone by surprise or come out of nowhere.

00:11:09.000 Also, of course, the headline is amusing because they're acting like Alabama is like a third world hellscape.

00:11:15.000 They have some kind of South Park cartoon understanding of the world.

00:11:19.000 In reality, Alabama is a hub for the aerospace industry as well as biotech, defense, cars and so on.

00:11:27.000 But every time this topic comes up, Canadian politicians act like Alabama is like on another planet or something. Watch.

00:11:35.000 The bad news keeps rolling in from credible financial experts.

00:11:40.000 This week's economist, quote, were Canada's ten provinces and three territories an American state,

00:11:46.000 they would have gone from being slightly richer than Montana, America's ninth poorest state, to being a bit worse off than Alabama, the fourth poorest.

00:11:55.000 Alabama.

00:11:56.000 To fix a problem, one has to admit that it exists.

00:12:00.000 Will the government admit that under its policies, Canada is now poorer than Alabama, America's fourth poorest state?

00:12:12.000 Now, it's obvious this guy, like most Canadians, has never been anywhere near Alabama, which which is fine. 0.96

00:12:18.000 They're in Canada.

00:12:19.000 But to their credit, the Globe and Mail did venture out to the Deep South.

00:12:23.000 And here's what they wrote in their now viral story.

00:12:26.000 And I promise this is real. Quote.

00:12:29.000 For an ego check, the Globe and Mail traveled to the Deep South to understand how this happened, meaning how Canada became poor.

00:12:36.000 Immediately, it was obvious Alabama is misunderstood.

00:12:39.000 In Huntsville, there are as many Subaru Outbacks as there are pickup trucks.

00:12:44.000 Its economy is booming.

00:12:45.000 The state's unemployment rate is now just 2.7% versus 6.5% in Canada.

00:12:50.000 In 2024, Alabama made nearly as many vehicles as Ontario.

00:12:54.000 The U.S. simply pays more for many senior white collar jobs and top personal tax rates in Alabama can be around 40%.

00:13:01.000 Today, they're 53.5% in Ontario.

00:13:05.000 So the Canadian journalists were shocked, positively stunned to see Subaru Outbacks in Alabama.

00:13:14.000 They were expecting that, you know, everybody would be driving a pickup truck in their wife beaters, bottles of Jack Daniels strewn all over the, you know, the floorboard.

00:13:24.000 And what did they discover? They discovered that almost everyone has a job, real estate is cheap, salaries are high, and people don't have to wait a year to get an MRI.

00:13:35.000 And more to the point, people have real jobs in Alabama.

00:13:39.000 They aren't all working for the government or for government funded nonprofits, which is the norm in Canada.

00:13:45.000 And there's something else that Alabama has that Canada does not, and that is free speech.

00:13:52.000 That brings us to the second major reason why Canada's regime would deserve to be overthrown.

00:13:59.000 They're committing flagrant human rights abuses on our doorstep every day.

00:14:05.000 In fact, Canada has now fallen to the point that citizens are being fined nearly a million dollars for telling the basic truth about human biology.

00:14:14.000 Now, I'm going to spend some time on this case because it's representative of the greater problem in Canada.

00:14:20.000 This is by far not the only case like this.

00:14:22.000 This is from the CBC, which is Canada's state-run propaganda outlet.

00:14:26.000 And here's what it says, quote,

00:14:27.000 The BC Human Rights Tribunal has ordered former school trustee Barry Neufeld to pay $750,000 for violating the Human Rights Code by publishing hate speech and discriminatory content against two SLGBTQ plus people.

00:14:42.000 New Felt's publications included Facebook posts, a speech at a gathering, a widely circulated email, and comments at a school board meeting and in the media.

00:14:52.000 The tribunal found six of his publications were likely to expose trans, gay, and lesbian people to hatred or contempt based on their gender identity or sexual orientation.

00:15:02.000 $750,000 will cover payments to, quote,

00:15:07.000 Teachers Association members who identify as LGBTQ between October 2017 through 2022 for injury to their dignity, feelings, and self-respect.

00:15:17.000 Yes, injury to their feelings.

00:15:21.000 In Canada, according to the law, if you hurt the feelings of a 2SLGBTQ person, then the government will destroy your life. 1.00

00:15:30.000 It will bankrupt you.

00:15:32.000 That's what this decision means.

00:15:34.000 If you hurt an LGBT person's feelings, they'll take your job away, they'll bankrupt you, and they'll send you off into disgrace. 1.00

00:15:40.000 And no mainstream Canadian politician seems to care, as far as I can tell.

00:15:45.000 There certainly hasn't been any massive outrage in Canada over this decision.

00:15:49.000 It's just kind of par for the course.

00:15:52.000 And even before we look at the content of the allegedly offending posts, this decision is, when accurately viewed not as an aberration but as a symptom of the overarching communist tyranny in Canada,

00:16:03.000 a freestanding justification to depose the Canadian regime.

00:16:09.000 The right to freedom of speech is the single most important right in the Western world.

00:16:13.000 That's why it's the First Amendment to our Constitution in America.

00:16:16.000 And no matter how offensive your speech may be, and no matter whose feelings you might hurt, it doesn't matter.

00:16:22.000 Once you lose the freedom of speech, you become a rogue, tyrannical state.

00:16:26.000 I mean, this is worse than North Korea in many ways. 0.93

00:16:30.000 At least North Korea is nowhere near our border.

00:16:33.000 Now, you might say, well, maybe this guy was threatening someone or saying things that were truly dangerous.

00:16:39.000 Let's open the tribunal's decision and see, quote,

00:16:42.000 On October 23rd, 2017, Mr. Neufeld posted a long public statement on Facebook describing teaching about sexual orientation and gender identity as a weapon of propaganda

00:16:51.000 which instructs children about the absurd theory that gender is not biologically determined but a social construct.

00:16:56.000 He said allowing children to change gender was child abuse.

00:17:00.000 Mr. Neufeld ended the post saying that he belonged in a country like Russia or Paraguay,

00:17:06.000 which recently had the guts to stand up to these radical cultural nihilists.

00:17:10.000 In a separate post, quote,

00:17:12.000 He calls transgenderism a way of coping and surviving horrendous physical and sexual abuse as children 0.98

00:17:17.000 and says that the most at-risk children are disturbed and mentally ill, 0.90

00:17:22.000 especially autistic, obsessive-compulsive, sexual abuse survivors, and post-traumatic stress syndrome kids.

00:17:29.000 Now, everything in those posts is unquestionably true.

00:17:32.000 As always, what's happening here is that the censors realize they can't win an actual argument.

00:17:37.000 They know that their ideology doesn't stand up to scrutiny.

00:17:39.000 So instead of allowing debate, they're forcing going to force everyone to comply.

00:17:43.000 And the more you read this decision, the more obvious that becomes.

00:17:48.000 Here's easily the most Orwellian passage to ever appear in a legal decision in memory.

00:17:53.000 I'm going to read a decent amount of this because it's truly deranged.

00:17:57.000 And again, it just shows you what it's like in Canada now.

00:18:01.000 Now, quote,

00:18:03.000 Trans people are, by definition, people whose gender identity does not align with the sex assigned to them at birth.

00:18:09.000 If a person elects not to believe that gender identity is separate from sex assigned at birth,

00:18:13.000 then they do not believe in trans people.

00:18:16.000 This is a form of existential denial.

00:18:18.000 It is not, as Mr. Neufeld argues, akin to religious beliefs.

00:18:22.000 A person does not need to believe in Christianity to accept that another person is Christian.

00:18:26.000 To accept that a person is transgender, one must accept that their gender identity is different than their sex assigned at birth.

00:18:32.000 As this tribunal has recognized the gender, the question of whether transgender people exist and are entitled to a dignity in this province is as valuable to ongoing public debate as whether one race is superior to another.

00:18:44.000 Calling trans this gender ideology allows anti-trans activists to hide behind a veneer of reasonableness.

00:18:49.000 It allows them to say, as Mr. Neufeld did in his statements, that they are not attacking human beings.

00:18:54.000 They are simply opposing a set of ideas.

00:18:56.000 But behind this insidious veneer is the proposition that transness is not real.

00:19:00.000 Such phrasing can make it easier to ignore that trans people are human beings.

00:19:07.000 Well, it's just an extraordinary passage for many reasons.

00:19:10.000 I mean, first of all, even if he was denying the actual existence of trans people as humans, he should be free to do that.

00:19:16.000 I mean, if somebody says that I don't exist, they're not harming me in any way by just saying that.

00:19:22.000 They could only harm me with that claim if I'm so mentally unstable that they might manage to persuade me of my own non-existence.

00:19:32.000 But in any case, he's not denying the existence of people who call themselves trans.

00:19:36.000 He's denying the validity of the claim they're making about themselves.

00:19:41.000 And if you don't have the right to do that, then you don't have the right, you don't have any rights at all.

00:19:48.000 The Canadian Tribunal says it's not valuable to have this conversation, which again, even if that were true, only a communist dystopian hellhole would have a tribunal that legally declares what conversations are valuable or not.

00:20:03.000 And then if they decide your conversation is not valuable, they can fine you for a million dollars.

00:20:10.000 That's what Canada has become.

00:20:12.000 The tribunal draws a comparison between this and race saying that it's not valuable to debate whether members of one race could be different from another on average in ways that are positive or negative.

00:20:21.000 Clearly, they don't think it's valuable to talk about race because they don't think it serves any purpose other than emboldening racists or whatever.

00:20:28.000 That's what that's what they're trying to say.

00:20:29.000 But in the same breath, these same people will mandate anti-white racial discrimination and relentless affirmative action on the theory that all racial disparities between whites and non-whites are the result of systemic discrimination and white supremacy.

00:20:42.000 And that theory would fall apart completely if someone could point to an alternative explanation for racial disparities.

00:20:49.000 So really, it's not that the tribunal thinks that the debate on race isn't valuable or relevant.

00:20:54.000 It's that if you allow debate on the issue, then people might start to question some core tenets of leftism.

00:21:01.000 And the Human Rights Tribunal won't allow that.

00:21:05.000 It just won't allow it.

00:21:07.000 You cannot question leftism in Canada.

00:21:09.000 We will bankrupt you.

00:21:11.000 We might put you in prison.

00:21:14.000 Along the same lines, this tribunal says it's simply not valuable to debate the issue of whether a ten-year-old boy can instantly transform into a girl.

00:21:22.000 I mean, it's transparently an effort to shut down a debate that they know they're losing.

00:21:28.000 The decision is the codification of trans insanity into law, which will have enormous consequences for children in Canada.

00:21:35.000 It will ruin thousands of lives.

00:21:37.000 The decision also amounts to the formal suspension of the freedom of speech in Canada, which has really already long since happened, which is a death knell for the entire country.

00:21:50.000 It's the position of the Canadian government that if you hold the wrong opinion, then your property is forfeit.

00:21:57.000 Because you don't actually own anything.

00:22:00.000 You'll have to hand over your life savings.

00:22:03.000 This has been coming for a long time.

00:22:05.000 As we talked about, Canadian courts have already started informing homeowners that the indigenous tribes actually own their land.

00:22:12.000 So even though Canadians paid for their homes, they don't really own them. 0.58

00:22:16.000 It's similar to what we saw during the trucker convoy when peaceful protesters discovered that their bank accounts had been seized.

00:22:23.000 Canada is a perfect expression of the WEF's goal, which is that in the future, people will own nothing.

00:22:30.000 Before this ideology spreads any further, it needs to be stopped.

00:22:35.000 And that's not even getting into the Canadian government's deliberate and ongoing effort to murder its own citizens.

00:22:41.000 The outlet Right to Life News took a look at an official report from the government of Canada on this topic.

00:22:47.000 And we've talked a lot about it, especially recently.

00:22:50.000 But somehow, the deeper you look into it, it just gets worse and worse and worse.

00:22:54.000 And here's what they found.

00:22:56.000 Quote, an official report by the chief coroner of Ontario's Medical Assistance and Dying Death Review Committee highlighted that in 2023, 65 people in Ontario had their lives ended by Canada's assisted suicide and euthanasia program on the same day that they made their request to do so.

00:23:15.000 A further 154 people had their lives ended the day after their request was made.

00:23:21.000 So that's over 200 people in just one area in one year who were put down, were euthanized within 48 hours of putting in the request.

00:23:35.000 And keep in mind, this is also a government, this is a government where, you know, this endless bureaucracy, it takes months and months and months to do anything.

00:23:50.000 You want to get a permit, you know, you want to get a permit to build a deck.

00:23:55.000 It's going to take months and months and months.

00:23:57.000 But if you say, hey, I want to, I want to kill myself within 48 hours, they're going to be at your door with the, with the lethal injection.

00:24:04.000 One of those cases involved a woman named Mrs. B who was in her eighties and she had heart surgery, was suffering complications. 0.97

00:24:11.000 So she chose to receive a palliative care.

00:24:14.000 And when her spouse requested a euthanasia assessment, Mrs. B indicated that she wanted to withdraw that request, citing personal religious values and beliefs, preferring instead to pursue inpatient hospice care, palliative care.

00:24:27.000 But hospice care was denied.

00:24:30.000 So her spouse again requested a euthanasia assessment.

00:24:33.000 And that time Mrs. B apparently relented, even though one of her assessors, quote, held concerns regarding the necessity for urgency and the seemingly drastic change of perspective of end of life goals and the possibility of coercion or undue influence, i.e. due to caregiver burnout.

00:24:50.000 So if you're keeping track at home, they're denying hospice care to people who, people who do not want to kill themselves, but are very sick.

00:25:00.000 They're denying hospice care and saying, hey, we'll just put you down instead.

00:25:04.000 Even for people who their initial reaction is, I don't want that.

00:25:10.460 It's against my beliefs.

00:25:11.340 I don't want it.

00:25:11.860 I don't want to be put down like a, like a sick dog.

00:25:13.760 Now, these, these stories are very, very common, which is why so-called medical assistance and dying in Canada is now the fifth leading cause of death in the entire country.

00:25:26.520 And again, the MAID program on its own, the widespread systematic killing of the sick and the vulnerable, which is happening right now, would easily be a valid moral justification for invading the country and deposing the regime.

00:25:42.800 All on its own, even if there was nothing else going on, this is happening right over our border, right in our backyard.

00:25:50.340 Any regime that engages in outright eugenics, executing people who are deemed undesirable, no longer has any moral claim to legitimacy.

00:25:59.800 In Canada, they have a free healthcare, they claim, but the healthcare is a lethal injection.

00:26:06.340 And we also talked about the story of the 26-year-old man who was murdered because he had a seasonal depression in addition to diabetes and blindness, no terminal illness.

00:26:19.760 So in short, Canada has begun killing its own citizens, been doing it for a while because its healthcare system is, I mean, really because it's overrun with foreigners and also because they're, you know, they're running out of organs. 1.00

00:26:32.020 Or they say they're running out of room in hospice.

00:26:37.480 So we'll just put you down.

00:26:40.160 So they're trying to kill two birds with one stone here.

00:26:42.640 They want to reduce the population to ease the burden on the healthcare system.

00:26:46.740 And they also want more organs that the healthcare system can use.

00:26:51.460 And none of this is some kind of crazy conspiracy theory.

00:26:56.980 This is what is actually happening right now.

00:26:59.600 And by the way, the people who are getting put to death, interestingly enough, are not the foreigners. 1.00

00:27:07.580 It's overwhelmingly white Canadians who are being put down. 1.00

00:27:11.000 Which is weird, too, because in Canada, the liberals are really concerned with minority representation.

00:27:14.920 It's weird how they're not concerned with minority representation when it comes to euthanasia.

00:27:20.920 Not concerned about that at all.

00:27:23.420 Something like 95% of so-called made recipients are white.

00:27:29.460 Talk about disproportionate impact.

00:27:33.580 So the replacement is occurring on both ends. 1.00

00:27:35.700 They're importing foreigners and they're killing the white people. 1.00

00:27:37.800 There are many more human rights abuses in Canada that we could talk about, from the mutilation and castration of children, the name of gender ideology, to the church burnings, which we've discussed many times. 0.99

00:27:50.280 Based on a false, trumped-up narrative intended to demonize Christians, which was then used as a pretense to go and burn down 30-plus churches.

00:27:57.660 Almost no one's been arrested for most of those crimes.

00:28:00.960 The state-funded murder of children, including partial birth abortions.

00:28:04.440 There are no federal laws restricting abortion at all in Canada.

00:28:07.520 That means it is legal to execute a fully developed infant while the child is being born.

00:28:13.980 And they do this.

00:28:15.560 That's what they do in Canada.

00:28:17.720 That's what a partial birth abortion is. 1.00

00:28:19.780 It's just straight up infanticide. 0.84

00:28:22.020 Killing an infant who is in the middle of being delivered anyway.

00:28:25.840 A living, healthy infant is being delivered. 0.99

00:28:28.560 And in the process, they kill the child.

00:28:32.520 That's legal in Canada.

00:28:33.700 And it is, again, all by itself, just as evil as anything that the North Korean or Iranian regime has ever done. 0.95

00:28:43.260 Period.

00:28:45.960 Now, we have deposed many governments for less.

00:28:49.620 And in this case, there's yet another reason to invade Canada, which is that, I mean, we should also mention a lot of people in Canada want us to do it.

00:28:56.560 And the Canadians who would oppose us, as I mentioned, have already been disarmed.

00:29:00.940 Like, they're not going to do anything.

00:29:01.660 They're not going to do anything.

00:29:02.580 They can't do anything about it.

00:29:03.740 They're completely powerless.

00:29:06.480 The Trump administration seems to be aware of all this, which is why the Treasury Secretary just suggested that high-level talks with Alberta officials are currently underway.

00:29:15.700 Watch.

00:29:16.140 All the oil and the natural resources coming out of Canada.

00:29:20.020 Texas is still larger.

00:29:21.120 Well, look, Alberta is a wealth of natural resources, but they won't let them build a pipeline to the Pacific.

00:29:29.600 I think we should let them come down into the U.S. 1.00

00:29:34.280 And Alberta is a natural partner for the U.S.

00:29:38.380 They have great resources.

00:29:40.180 The Albertans are very independent people, rumored that they may have a referendum on whether they want to stay in Canada or not.

00:29:49.060 Sounds like you may know something up there.

00:29:51.780 Look, people are saying, people, people, people are talking, people are talking, people want sovereignty.

00:29:59.860 Now, if you live in Alberta, the economic engine of Canada and the province where most of my Canadian listeners live, then this is very good news.

00:30:09.180 You have an off-ramp as Canada continues its slide into total decay and dysfunction.

00:30:14.280 Alberta has seen what's happened to Toronto and Vancouver.

00:30:17.580 Alberta understands how unrecognizable these places have become.

00:30:20.540 And all along with their tax dollars, Alberta has been funding the collapse of these provinces.

00:30:28.060 That doesn't need to continue.

00:30:30.760 In about 48 hours, the U.S. military could put an end to it.

00:30:34.820 Now, yes, at the moment, an attack on Iran appears to be imminent. 0.56

00:30:37.960 America may be on the verge of another large-scale military commitment in a region of the world thousands of miles away.

00:30:44.780 But Canada is right here.

00:30:47.620 It is very easy to argue that not only do we have a greater moral responsibility to respond to atrocities in Canada because it's right here on our continent, right next door.

00:30:58.740 But also, and more importantly, that Canada's slide into a communist dystopia overrun with third-world foreigners presents a clear and present danger to our country and our well-being. 1.00

00:31:10.880 It is not readily apparent to me how an evil regime in Iran, and they are evil, presents any real threat to the United States. 0.89

00:31:20.420 No one has been able to explain that.

00:31:23.240 It is, however, very readily apparent how an evil regime seated 60 miles from our own border does present a real threat to us.

00:31:31.020 So, we already beat them in hockey.

00:31:37.660 The funny thing is that conquering the entire country would actually be considerably easier and less bloody than that hockey game.

00:31:44.840 Does that mean we should do it?

00:31:47.080 Well, I think there's a very respectable argument, which I've just laid out.

00:31:50.400 But it's actually not crazy, especially, especially, especially if you have supported any of America's interventions anywhere else in the world.

00:32:02.160 Then you have no basis to look at this and say it's crazy.

00:32:04.580 It's not crazy.

00:32:07.800 At least we could say today, as we celebrate our gold medal, that it's something worth considering.

00:32:14.960 Now let's get to our five headlines.

00:32:20.400 My show is proud to be supported by Grand Canyon University, an affordable, private, non-profit Christian university based in beautiful Phoenix, Arizona.

00:32:30.200 At GCU, academically rigorous, industry-driven programs are built to provide you with practical skills and career readiness.

00:32:37.360 They believe education should not be a privilege but an affordable path forward.

00:32:41.220 Because of this, GCU has kept tuition at the same rate on its traditional campus for the past 17 years, will continue into the 26-27 academic year.

00:32:50.160 Plus, they awarded over $404 million in institutional GCU scholarships last year to support and encourage education.

00:32:57.620 Grounded in Christian truth, GCU works to empower the next generation to lead with integrity, serve with purpose, and help transform their communities.

00:33:05.180 So take action and find your purpose at GCU.

00:33:07.300 Visit gcu.edu to learn more.

00:33:10.600 All right, let's see.

00:33:11.440 So on Friday, Tucker Carlson interviewed, I think it was Friday, maybe it was Thursday, Friday, I think.

00:33:18.080 Tucker Carlson interviewed Mike Huckabee, who is, of course, now the ambassador to Israel.

00:33:24.580 And I thought it was an interesting conversation.

00:33:27.580 There's one clip that I want to play and talk about that kind of represents a theme, the theme of the conversation, I would say.

00:33:36.040 But let's watch it.

00:33:37.320 Here it is.

00:33:39.380 You've spent a lot of time thinking about the right of the Jewish people to their homeland.

00:33:42.580 Do the Irish have the same right to a homeland?

00:33:46.060 As long as they can defend it.

00:33:47.900 And as long as they, you know.

00:33:49.000 As long as they can defend it.

00:33:50.300 But, Tucker, here's the point.

00:33:51.340 Wait a second.

00:33:51.800 I'm telling you.

00:33:52.500 Wait, hold on, hold on, hold on.

00:33:53.560 Now you just flipped category.

00:33:54.460 You're the minister here.

00:33:55.780 Yeah, and I'm telling you.

00:33:56.500 As long as they can defend it.

00:33:57.880 And you're not allowing me to tell you that I think that what is very, very special here is that there is a biblical, as well as an ethnic, and a historical.

00:34:08.180 So you can take any one, but if you add them all together, biblical, historical, and ethnic, you have a very strong case that the Jewish people are living in a land that is indigenous to them, that has been their historic homeland for 3,800 years.

00:34:22.460 You can repeat it as well.

00:34:23.280 And you can also look in the archaeology.

00:34:25.240 The stones cry out.

00:34:26.760 Okay.

00:34:27.000 You've been to the City of David, for example.

00:34:28.560 I have.

00:34:28.900 Oh, yeah.

00:34:29.400 So you know then that.

00:34:31.480 And I love it.

00:34:32.380 It's an amazing place.

00:34:33.880 It may be the greatest archaeological discovery in all of history.

00:34:36.880 It's pretty great.

00:34:37.580 Because it's stunning.

00:34:39.180 And they still continue to find things that date the Jewish people to this land archaeologically for 3,800 years.

00:34:47.220 We can date the British people to their land much longer. 0.81

00:34:51.660 Much thousands of years longer.

00:34:53.140 Stonehenge is 3,000 years older than any building.

00:34:56.000 Building built by the descendants of Abram in this country. 0.83

00:35:00.560 And so I just, it's fine.

00:35:02.340 Yeah.

00:35:02.600 I'm not trying to invalidate anyone's right.

00:35:04.420 I'm just wanting you to affirm that right.

00:35:06.220 But it makes you uncomfortable and you won't.

00:35:07.920 And I don't know why.

00:35:08.520 Because I've never honestly sat down and asked myself, are the lines around the United Kingdom?

00:35:14.960 It's an island, so we know what the lines are.

00:35:16.660 I'm saying, but are those lines, are those rooted in something other than the historical connection?

00:35:25.280 Well, great.

00:35:25.980 Then they should have it.

00:35:27.540 But that's a question.

00:35:28.360 And they have a right to have it.

00:35:28.560 But then you said if they can defend it.

00:35:30.000 And if they can't defend it, they lose the right.

00:35:31.840 But I didn't say it was exclusive one or the other.

00:35:33.760 I think you're really going off the trail.

00:35:35.820 I just want to know if these principles apply universally or if they only apply to the people of Israel.

00:35:40.980 This is a conversation, a debate about Israel's right to exist.

00:35:46.780 And much of the interview centered around that question.

00:35:49.000 That clip may not have even been the best representative sample of that debate.

00:35:54.920 But it certainly is related to it.

00:35:57.140 Much of the conversation can circle around this question, does Israel have a right to exist?

00:36:00.520 And I just want to say that from my perspective, the whole question, the whole debate really, is based on a false premise.

00:36:14.340 And my answer to this is one that doesn't really make anybody happy because I don't think that Israel has the right to exist. 1.00

00:36:24.120 I don't think that any country has the right to exist.

00:36:28.180 I don't think there's any country that we can look at and say they have a right to exist.

00:36:34.280 And let me explain what I mean by that.

00:36:37.840 So first, I think you have to define your terms, not to be pedantic, but in this case, it's not.

00:36:42.520 What do we mean by right?

00:36:44.720 We really got to, you know, this is a word that comes up a lot in our debates about any topic.

00:36:52.040 Any topic, it always comes back to someone making a rights claim.

00:36:56.620 I have a right to this, I have a right to that.

00:36:59.180 Well, what do you mean by that?

00:37:01.020 What does that mean?

00:37:02.720 And I think very often the people that are talking about it, using the term, I have a right to it, they really have no, if you were to ask them, well, what do you mean you have a right to it?

00:37:11.380 Like, where do you get that right?

00:37:12.340 Where does that come from?

00:37:13.180 They wouldn't be able to tell you.

00:37:14.740 So to me, I think the word right means an entitlement.

00:37:20.840 That's what a right is.

00:37:22.140 You are entitled to something.

00:37:23.400 I have a right to something means I am entitled to it.

00:37:26.320 And if we don't mean, when we say right, if we don't mean entitled, then I don't know what we mean.

00:37:35.260 So if you object to my definition of right, then you got to tell me what yours is.

00:37:39.640 Because as far as I can tell, that's what we mean.

00:37:42.860 When someone talks about right, they say, when someone says they have a right to something, they are saying they are entitled to it.

00:37:47.580 So, for example, and you can be entitled to things.

00:37:51.120 Like, if you have a contract with your employer, let's say, you have a right to the compensation outlined in your contract.

00:38:00.520 You have a right to it.

00:38:02.080 You are entitled to it.

00:38:03.000 Those words mean the same thing.

00:38:04.620 You can rightfully say, I'm entitled to that.

00:38:07.460 I have a right to that.

00:38:10.540 It's not just about contracts.

00:38:11.780 My kids have a right to be cared for by me, fed, protected.

00:38:18.440 They are entitled to that.

00:38:19.980 They have a right to it.

00:38:20.700 They are entitled to it, both legally and morally and spiritually and in every other sense.

00:38:27.660 You know, we have rights outlined in the Bill of Rights.

00:38:30.740 We're entitled to that.

00:38:31.940 Protection against unreasonable search and seizures, the ability to own firearms and so on.

00:38:37.180 We are entitled to that as Americans.

00:38:41.700 Well, yeah, and the word entitled gets a bad rap because people are constantly claiming they're entitled to things.

00:38:47.500 They aren't actually entitled to.

00:38:48.660 We spend billions of dollars on entitlements in this country, and not a single cent of entitlement spending actually goes to people who are entitled to what they're getting.

00:38:59.460 Nobody is entitled to receive anything through our entitlement programs, even though we call it that.

00:39:05.460 We shouldn't call it that.

00:39:07.580 So that's the confusion.

00:39:10.820 But people can be entitled to certain things, and those are their actual real rights.

00:39:17.520 Okay, so then what does it mean for a country to be entitled to exist?

00:39:27.220 Well, I don't know what that means.

00:39:29.000 I truly don't.

00:39:31.060 Entitled based on what?

00:39:32.340 You know, the only way that any country has ever come into existence, ever, is through force.

00:39:44.060 There are no exceptions to this rule on the planet, and there never have been, and there never will be.

00:39:50.360 No country exists unless it has forced its own existence violently, and no country continues to exist unless it continues to insist on its own existence through force, through violence.

00:40:08.020 The very idea that any country, any nation, that the political entity of a nation is entitled to exist is incoherent.

00:40:18.180 It makes no sense.

00:40:20.360 You know, I make this point about the Native Americans all the time.

00:40:26.120 You often hear people who are on the pro-Israel side, they'll say that, well, Israel is the only country that has to justify its own existence.

00:40:35.820 It's the only country where people have to constantly justify its own existence.

00:40:38.460 Well, every time I hear that, I think, well, have you ever heard of America?

00:40:41.720 What are you talking about?

00:40:42.680 We're built on stolen land?

00:40:44.280 We hear that all the time.

00:40:44.960 We heard it at the Grammys.

00:40:45.860 I mean, we hear it all the time.

00:40:46.740 We have policies and laws that have been based on that idea in some places.

00:40:52.480 We have an entire major political party that professes that and at least tries to advance policies and everything based on that idea. 0.73

00:41:01.760 But my whole response to that is that, you know, the idea that the Natives in the New World were entitled to remain permanent owners over this entire hemisphere is ridiculous.

00:41:15.200 They only claimed ownership in the first place through an act of sheer force, through violence.

00:41:20.140 And what does that mean?

00:41:25.280 It means that they killed and conquered in order to claim this in the first place.

00:41:31.560 And does that mean that, okay, then no one is allowed to ever conquer them?

00:41:35.700 So they conquer it and then they could say, well, we're entitled to have this forever.

00:41:41.340 Yeah, we used violence to take it, but no one's allowed to use violence to take it from us.

00:41:45.700 That would be infringing on our rights.

00:41:49.460 What?

00:41:50.600 How could, how does that make any sense?

00:41:58.980 That's not the way it works.

00:42:01.060 They claimed ownership through force.

00:42:03.460 They had to defend it through force.

00:42:05.920 They tried, they couldn't, and history played out the way that it was inevitably going to play out.

00:42:12.920 You know, if, if you as a nation are able to support and defend yourself, then you can exist.

00:42:21.540 If you as a nation cannot support or defend yourself, then you have no right to exist.

00:42:29.000 You're not even a real country.

00:42:29.980 And I apply this logic to every country on earth.

00:42:37.020 Now, when people say, well, would you apply it to America?

00:42:39.100 Absolutely.

00:42:39.660 If the United States ever got to a point where it could not exist without the protection and patronage of some other nation, then the United States would have no right to exist at that point.

00:42:51.820 In fact, the United States would already not exist.

00:42:55.780 If we were in some kind of dystopian future where China basically is our, owns the United States and we exist at their pleasure, then we don't exist anymore. 0.86

00:43:08.240 We already don't exist.

00:43:11.200 And, um, we're already a vassal of this other nation. 0.93

00:43:15.980 Our existence would be a phantom, a ruse, a charade.

00:43:21.120 And the problem now is that we have a world full of like 180 countries.

00:43:28.220 And many of those countries just aren't real.

00:43:31.020 They're not real countries.

00:43:32.420 They're fake countries. 0.81

00:43:34.700 Okay.

00:43:35.320 I understand this, that this view is not popular, but that's, I can't, I can't see it any other way.

00:43:43.740 Like if you were to go back to the year, say 1700, there were not nearly as many countries on earth, right?

00:43:53.040 It was the same amount of land, obviously, but there weren't as many countries because you had a few empires that owned basically the whole globe.

00:44:00.880 You had the Spanish empire, the Portuguese, British, French, Ottoman, uh, Chinese, and so on.

00:44:08.840 You go back another thousand years, you had different empires controlling most of the globe.

00:44:13.580 And where you didn't have empires, you had small tribal societies, very small, often nomadic, that were constantly in a state of war with each other.

00:44:23.960 That was especially the case in, in, in, uh, much of North America, for example.

00:44:27.940 And this to me was a much more honest kind of clear way of dividing things up.

00:44:34.080 The powerful empires use their power to expand and claim ownership over land.

00:44:39.020 And, and now we have this distinctly modern situation, which most people don't appreciate how modern and unusual it really is.

00:44:46.040 But we've got 180 countries, 190 countries, uh, many of them totally unable to support themselves financially or protect themselves.

00:44:53.080 We have countries with no military, really, relying entirely on the threat of force from other bigger countries.

00:45:02.400 We have countries whose, their economies depend fundamentally on foreign aid and humanitarian services for the most basic things.

00:45:12.300 They wouldn't be able to feed themselves without it.

00:45:15.860 You have countries like, just as one example, South Sudan, which relies on us for food, healthcare, basic government programs and services.

00:45:25.060 This is very common.

00:45:28.820 And here's my point.

00:45:29.880 All of those, of those kinds of countries, the ones that can't support or defend themselves, still exist entirely through force.

00:45:38.960 It's just that the threat of force is from their benefactors.

00:45:41.540 In the year 1700, you'd have the same kind of scenario, except that, except that we would have called it an empire and the fake country wouldn't exist.

00:45:50.660 It would be a property of the empire.

00:45:53.200 Well, it's the same thing right now.

00:45:55.200 We just have, we built this fiction, this, this, um, this phantom of these fake countries that can't exist on their own.

00:46:02.980 Some of them don't really exist at all, are totally helpless, cannot govern themselves, cannot defend themselves.

00:46:12.820 And then we start talking about right to exist.

00:46:14.960 Like does South Sudan have a right to exist? 0.99

00:46:17.920 Does it?

00:46:19.440 It doesn't already, it already doesn't exist.

00:46:22.800 It's not a real country.

00:46:24.620 Does Somalia have a right to exist? 1.00

00:46:26.660 How could it have a right to exist when it can't exist on its own?

00:46:31.800 If your country cannot exist on its own, then it has no right to exist.

00:46:35.260 I don't know how else to put it.

00:46:38.940 Um, so that's why I say that no nation has a right to exist.

00:46:44.180 A nation, which doesn't mean that no nation should exist.

00:46:47.700 It just means that no nation has a right to exist.

00:46:50.000 A nation exists if it forces its existence and continues to force its existence, uh, onto the globe.

00:47:00.300 Or else the nation is a vassal.

00:47:02.440 It is a subject of another nation.

00:47:07.900 Even if we still call it a nation.

00:47:11.000 So do I apply that logic to Israel?

00:47:13.320 Yeah, I apply it to every country on the planet, including our own.

00:47:20.000 And I'll tell you something else.

00:47:21.380 Again, in that dystopian future, if, if, if, uh, China invades and we're about to be conquered,

00:47:27.480 I'm not going to be sitting there saying, we have a right to exist.

00:47:30.840 This isn't fair.

00:47:33.620 If we can't defend ourselves, then we don't.

00:47:36.580 I mean, you can cry about your rights all you want, but to who are you crying to?

00:47:39.500 Who are you crying to?

00:47:40.520 Who are you appealing to?

00:47:41.640 Who, who, what, what, what, who, what are you claiming this right against?

00:47:47.020 Who are you, who are you claiming it against?

00:47:48.740 Well, you want a country, you better be able to defend it.

00:47:54.940 Can't defend it, then it doesn't exist.

00:47:57.680 That's it.

00:47:59.960 And that's the, uh, I'm kind of boring in that way.

00:48:03.760 Maybe you've noticed.

00:48:04.360 I just, I have these really kind of simple ways of looking at things and I just apply

00:48:09.460 them to everybody consistently.

00:48:11.180 That's my deal.

00:48:12.000 That's my thing.

00:48:13.840 That's my thing with Israel. 0.99

00:48:14.980 That's why I don't fall into either camp.

00:48:16.960 Cause I just like, I just, I, it's, it's, it's just like any other country.

00:48:19.760 I just, I have a way of looking at things.

00:48:21.240 I apply it to every country.

00:48:22.240 Same for Israel. 0.81

00:48:23.080 It's no different.

00:48:24.140 That's it.

00:48:25.740 We've tried a lot of coffee over the years.

00:48:27.340 Our sponsor, Seven Weeks Coffee is the one that my wife and I have landed on.

00:48:32.360 I personally love their medium roast.

00:48:34.260 It's super smooth with a sweet, nutty taste.

00:48:36.840 Perfect for starting the day.

00:48:38.300 My producer McKenna also stocks up on their coffee and it's a big fan, but it's not just

00:48:42.640 great coffee.

00:48:43.280 It directly pushes back against the abortion culture. 0.98

00:48:46.600 Seven Weeks Coffee is America's pro-life coffee company on a mission to fund the pro-life

00:48:50.340 movement.

00:48:51.000 One cup of coffee at a time.

00:48:52.760 Why they call it Seven Weeks Coffee?

00:48:54.320 Well, because it's seven weeks.

00:48:55.520 A baby is the size of a coffee bean and it's the same time that a heartbeat is clearly detected

00:49:00.040 on an ultrasound.

00:49:00.720 And they've built their business around saving lives by donating 10% of every sale to pregnancy

00:49:06.220 centers and pro-life organizations nationwide.

00:49:08.420 They've now raised over $1.5 million and saved thousands of lives.

00:49:12.820 Now let's talk about the coffee itself.

00:49:13.920 It's mold-free, pesticide-free, shade-grown, and low-acid, and it's organically farmed.

00:49:18.620 It's coffee that tastes better and feels better because they did it the right way.

00:49:41.680 All right.

00:49:42.360 Here's a fun story from the New York Post.

00:49:46.700 Mayor Zoram Amdani opposes requiring IDs to vote, but mandates no less than five forms

00:49:52.000 of identification in order to shovel snow.

00:49:53.800 The New York City Sanitation Department website says that in order to register as an emergency

00:49:58.340 snow shoveler, an applicant must provide two small photos, sized one to one and a half

00:50:05.200 square inches, two original forms of ID plus copies, and their social security card in order

00:50:12.300 to shovel snow.

00:50:14.640 Here is Mamdani talking about it.

00:50:18.680 There's been this controversy over the snow laborers and the sort of what some see as

00:50:28.560 onerous need to have documentation.

00:50:32.460 Can you just talk about if that's new and what you make of the controversy?

00:50:36.880 This is all longstanding.

00:50:39.600 This is a longstanding program and longstanding requirements, and this is a way that New Yorkers

00:50:44.840 get paid to shovel snow in assistance with the city's response to a winter storm event.

00:50:51.100 Federal law requires that employers get authorization and documentation to pay people for their work.

00:50:57.900 We are not allowed to just cut checks to individuals for their work.

00:51:00.980 And these are the policies that we've had in place, but I understand that for many, it's the first time

00:51:06.400 that they've ever heard about it.

00:51:10.960 So, you know, the irony is clear.

00:51:17.260 And why do you need paperwork to shovel snow?

00:51:19.460 I have no idea.

00:51:20.840 Shoveling is one of those things that requires really no experience or qualifications of any kind.

00:51:26.380 That's the great thing about shoveling.

00:51:27.740 That's why you can, as a parent, you know, you can have your kids do it.

00:51:33.580 I forced my sons to shovel our porch and walkways, and they don't have any paperwork, which is really great, by the way.

00:51:41.160 In fact, I was thinking about this the other day.

00:51:42.260 I was sitting, I was sitting, it was early in the morning.

00:51:45.000 I was sitting inside, sipping my coffee, and my boys were out in the bitter cold, shoveling away.

00:51:51.720 And I was just thinking, man, this is wonderful.

00:51:53.780 This is great.

00:51:54.480 I'm just looking out the window in the warmth, right?

00:51:59.080 Having some coffee, and they're out there, miserable, shoveling.

00:52:03.980 It's good.

00:52:06.540 It's when parenting really pays off.

00:52:08.260 We don't talk about it enough.

00:52:09.520 I think it would help the population crisis.

00:52:12.360 It would help the fertility crisis. 0.62

00:52:14.440 If we explain to people that one of the benefits of having a lot of kids is that you now have your little army of unpaid laborers, and I'm not saying that that should be the primary reason to have kids.

00:52:25.560 I'm not saying it's the main reason or that it's the main benefit, but it is a benefit, and it's a pretty good one.

00:52:32.680 But that's beside the point.

00:52:36.300 So, yes, you need 18 forms of ID to shovel snow in New York City, and in the same breath, he'll tell you that it's racist to require any identification to vote, which, again, is ironic for all the reasons that we know.

00:52:48.640 But there's another point about this voter ID thing, if we were to transition from shoveling snow to voter ID, that I think isn't made enough, and I haven't really made this point that I'll make now because my primary point has always been, as you know, that even if it is somehow complicated or difficult to get an ID, which it isn't, well, if you're not able or willing to deal with that complication, then we don't need you voting. 0.98

00:53:17.860 You're either lazy or dumb, and we don't need you voting in that case.

00:53:22.460 But there is another point, because now we have a bunch of Democrat politicians who are going out there, and they're saying that they don't even have their birth certificate or other documentation, and they don't know how to do it either. 0.99

00:53:37.600 Gavin Newsom said this recently, and then Bernie Sanders made the same claim in an interview a couple days ago.

00:53:43.480 Watch.

00:53:44.560 Now, you're not talking about voter ID.

00:53:45.920 That's the way Trump defines it.

00:53:47.280 But you're talking about, now, I don't know about California's initiative, but I do know what's going on in Washington, is that some geniuses think that before you can, maybe I have it wrong here, register to vote, you need a passport or your birth certificate.

00:54:04.260 Do you have your, do you have a passport or your birth certificate?

00:54:07.520 At the moment?

00:54:08.940 Do you?

00:54:09.420 I do.

00:54:10.000 But millions of people don't.

00:54:12.200 I don't have my birth certificate.

00:54:13.620 God knows how I get it.

00:54:15.920 God knows.

00:54:18.380 God knows how I get it.

00:54:20.040 Yeah, God knows, Bernie.

00:54:22.020 Well, I can think of somebody who should know how to get a birth certificate, and that would be a United States Senator.

00:54:30.940 I mean, that, I mean, God, God knows.

00:54:33.460 Yeah, God knows everything.

00:54:34.220 But also a United States Senator should, should know.

00:54:36.420 And this is the funny thing, because their argument is basically that the bureaucracy is so convoluted and inefficient and complicated that getting a new birth certificate, if you've lost yours, is impossible.

00:54:52.280 God knows.

00:54:53.160 Only, it's a mystery, it is a mystery of the cosmos.

00:54:56.360 It is so complicated just to get a new birth certificate, if you've lost yours, which sure, a lot of people have.

00:55:02.400 It's, it's so complicated that only, only God knows how to do it.

00:55:06.760 Well, if that's true, then maybe you guys, as representatives of the government, should fix that.

00:55:16.980 Yeah, maybe you should clean up that system.

00:55:19.140 Because that's all, that's all, again, like, if I just adopt their premise here, if I accept the premise that getting some of this information is really, really hard.

00:55:32.120 Well, okay, it shouldn't be, should it?

00:55:38.920 If you really think that obtaining basic identification is so difficult that it's essentially impossible, then shouldn't your response be to streamline and clean up the system?

00:55:50.300 Like, doesn't that point to a problem with the system that you work in and work for, that you're in charge of?

00:56:01.320 Isn't that something that you, as a representative of that system, should be working to fix?

00:56:05.700 It's, it's very interesting that all these Democrats, when, when there's a law that says, hey, you need, you need, here's some basic identification, you need to vote.

00:56:20.300 All they do is complain, oh, it's too hard to get that.

00:56:22.640 None of them have suggested, oh, you know what, let's make it easier.

00:56:26.200 Let's make it easier to get that identification, if you're an actual citizen.

00:56:32.800 Is that, why can't we do that?

00:56:35.700 Make the process more self-evident, make it quicker, make it cleaner, make it easier to navigate.

00:56:44.540 Because even I'll admit that, that, now, if you're an adult, even with this convoluted system, if you're an adult, if you're a competent adult, you should be able to navigate it.

00:56:53.720 But, yeah, I'm not going to say that, we all know that going to the DMV or trying to get paperwork can be unnecessarily complicated.

00:57:02.960 And it could take a lot more time than it should take.

00:57:06.940 Absolutely.

00:57:07.380 So maybe go clean that up, Bernie.

00:57:12.560 Have you thought about that?

00:57:13.540 When you prioritize your health, you're investing in your ability to show up fully, think clearly, and stay resilient through whatever life throws your way.

00:58:06.460 All right, Somalis in Minnesota are now demanding essentially reparations because they're traumatized by ICE and all the deportations.

00:58:16.000 At least I think that's what they're trying to say.

00:58:17.460 It's a little bit difficult to tell.

00:58:19.240 Listen.

00:58:21.200 We have suffering since starting for ICE.

00:58:26.380 We want to, whoever bring over here, we want to debate.

00:58:30.400 Only that's what I'm saying.

00:58:31.700 And I'm saying, asking our governor and our state, we are taxpayers, we need to pay back whatever they commit to ICE.

00:58:40.860 Thank you very much.

00:58:41.820 The police program fits into our criteria of small business owners, not those who make $200,000 and above.

00:58:52.020 We don't make that much a month.

00:58:53.740 We have been suffering since the crisis of ICE.

00:58:56.420 We also demand an immediate help to evictions so families are not pushed to homelessness during the crisis.

00:59:04.400 Our community deserves accountability.

00:59:07.040 Our community deserves safety.

00:59:09.000 We need also justice for those who lost their lives defending the community.

00:59:14.400 Our community deserves, I mean, it's hard to imagine a video that better encapsulates all the problems with the modern immigration system. 1.00

00:59:28.060 The word deserve should not even be in the vocabulary of an immigrant, especially not an immigrant from Somalia.

00:59:34.000 But it shouldn't be in the vocabulary of an immigrant. 0.87

00:59:38.280 It really shouldn't be in the vocabulary of any person, of any adult, but especially not an immigrant.

00:59:46.760 Because it's like that, what was that scene from Unforgiven where Gene Hackman's character is lying on the ground about to be killed.

00:59:53.920 And he says to Clint Eastwood, I don't, I don't, I don't deserve this.

00:59:59.880 And Clint Eastwood says, deserves, got nothing to do with it. 0.90

01:00:03.220 Then blows his head off.

01:00:05.640 Different kind of context here. 0.97

01:00:07.040 Nobody's shooting anybody, but I would, I, I, I would say the same thing to Somali immigrants, like the ones we just saw there. 1.00

01:00:15.560 Deserves, got nothing to do with it.

01:00:18.760 You don't get to come here and start talking about what you deserve.

01:00:22.200 You don't deserve anything because we don't owe you anything.

01:00:28.100 I mean, do you get that?

01:00:29.280 You obviously don't, but we don't owe you anything.

01:00:34.720 We are not in debt to you, but you're not in your service.

01:00:38.560 Don't tell us what you deserve.

01:00:40.260 Deserve is a fairy tale.

01:00:41.480 Deserve is, that's nothing but your ego talking.

01:00:45.340 And this is why I have no patience for anyone who tries to draw parallels between or comparisons

01:00:50.480 to these, between these modern third world immigrants and historical immigrants to America.

01:00:58.300 I have no patience for it.

01:00:59.720 I never have.

01:01:01.980 Because immigrants in the 19th century were not coming here talking about what they deserve.

01:01:07.700 It was a completely different attitude.

01:01:09.560 Okay, a German immigrant showing up in some frontier town in 1883, right, showing up in Dodge City or something.

01:01:17.560 He wasn't rolling into town, hopping out of his wagon, and then saying, hey, listen up, folks.

01:01:22.660 Here's what I deserve.

01:01:24.320 Let me tell you people what I deserve.

01:01:27.340 Just got here.

01:01:28.420 Just got off the boat.

01:01:29.280 And I got some news for all of you.

01:01:33.140 I deserve a lot.

01:01:36.380 That's not what was happening.

01:01:37.400 An Irish immigrant in Tombstone, Arizona was not showing up talking about what he deserves. 1.00

01:01:42.820 He wasn't on welfare.

01:01:43.960 He wasn't on food stamps.

01:01:46.960 These immigrants were not sprawling out comfortably on this vast trillion dollar social safety net

01:01:53.460 requiring American citizens to care for them while they rant about what they deserve.

01:02:02.120 That was not happening.

01:02:04.260 That attitude did not exist.

01:02:06.940 It couldn't have existed.

01:02:10.780 And now it does.

01:02:12.320 And so along with all the other many differences between then and now,

01:02:17.420 and between the immigrants then and the immigrants now,

01:02:20.940 that is one of the most important.

01:02:23.460 Differences is the reason why they come and the attitude they have when they get here.

01:02:30.280 Thanks to HomeServe for sponsoring this episode.

01:02:32.900 There are a lot of perks to owning a home versus renting from a landlord.

01:02:37.340 But one of the things that most people dread about buying and owning a home

01:02:40.280 are the expensive repairs that are bound to happen.

01:02:43.240 Regular homeowners insurance doesn't cover everyday repairs like plumbing failures and electrical issues,

01:02:47.820 leaving you on your own to cover the repairs.

01:02:49.860 But now there's another option called HomeServe.

01:02:52.520 For as little as $4.99 a month, you've got backup when things break.

01:02:56.520 Instead of frantically searching for a contractor in a panic,

01:02:59.340 you could already be on the phone with HomeServe's 24-7 hotline getting someone scheduled.

01:03:04.400 HomeServe has a lot of different plans to choose from that cover different things.

01:03:08.780 Just pick up a plan that fits your budget.

01:03:10.500 And when something goes wrong, all you've got to do is call HomeServe and they will handle it.

01:03:15.180 They've been doing this for over 20 years with a network of 2,600 local contractors.

01:03:19.600 HomeServe could have been great when my wife and I first bought a house.

01:03:22.420 Instead of spending hours calling around for quotes and costs,

01:03:26.180 could have just called HomeServe and would have been one call and done.

01:03:29.680 Help protect your home systems and your wallet with HomeServe against covered repairs.

01:03:34.760 Plan started just $4.99 a month.

01:03:36.240 Go to HomeServe.com to find the plan that's right for you.

01:03:39.980 That's HomeServe.com.

01:03:41.500 Not available everywhere.

01:03:42.740 Most plans range from $4.99 to $11.99 a month, your first year.

01:03:46.900 Terms apply on covered repairs.

01:03:49.020 Right now, more families are being forced to rely on high-interest credit cards

01:03:52.400 to cover expenses than ever before, even with a steady job.

01:03:55.540 If you're a homeowner caught in that cycle carrying balances with interest rates

01:03:59.200 in the 20s or even 30s, it's time to get some relief.

01:04:01.720 Mortgage rates are currently at a three-year low, and my friends at American Financing

01:04:05.360 are helping homeowners pay off that high-interest debt at rates in the low fives.

01:04:10.140 Their salary-based mortgage consultants don't just push loans.

01:04:13.400 They build exit strategies from debt.

01:04:15.640 On average, they're saving their customers $800 a month.

01:04:19.340 Plus, if you start today, you may even delay the next two mortgage payments.

01:04:23.120 There are no upfront fees or obligations to find out how much you can save.

01:04:26.620 America's Home for Home Loans is American Financing, 866-569-4711.

01:04:31.340 That's 866-569-4711, or visit AmericanFinancing.net slash Walsh.

01:04:37.440 Finally, moving quickly to this, which we'll only touch on briefly,

01:04:41.920 but Gavin Newsom is going viral today.

01:04:44.260 I just saw this before we started filming.

01:04:46.880 Going viral for all the wrong reasons.

01:04:49.480 The wrong reasons if you're on Gavin Newsom's team,

01:04:52.960 but for the rest of us, it's pretty great, pretty hilarious.

01:04:55.520 So here's Gavin Newsom addressing a heavily black crowd in Georgia,

01:05:01.000 trying his best to relate to them.

01:05:04.160 And here's what he says.

01:05:07.200 I'm not, you know, I'm not trying to impress you.

01:05:10.640 I'm just trying to impress upon you.

01:05:12.520 I'm like you.

01:05:14.660 I'm no better than you.

01:05:17.280 You know, I'm a 960 SAT guy.

01:05:19.840 And, you know, and I'm not trying to offend anyone,

01:05:24.900 you know, trying to act all there if you got 940.

01:05:30.040 But literally a 960 SAT guy.

01:05:33.040 I cannot, you've never seen me read a speech

01:05:36.600 because I cannot read a speech.

01:05:41.320 It may be the wrong business to be in.

01:05:43.340 There you go.

01:05:49.200 By the way, there's no additional context

01:05:51.040 that will rescue this clip.

01:05:52.640 It's exactly what it sounds like.

01:05:54.120 Gavin Newsom told an audience,

01:05:56.220 predominantly black, that he can relate to them,

01:05:58.360 that he's just like them 0.97

01:05:59.360 because he did poorly on his SATs

01:06:01.880 and he can't read.

01:06:03.560 Which is just extraordinary.

01:06:05.700 I mean, this is Gavin Newsom's way of pandering to you.

01:06:08.320 Hey guys, I'm just like you. 0.99

01:06:10.300 I'm retarded. 0.95

01:06:11.720 I'm just like you. 0.99

01:06:12.820 I am also retarded.

01:06:16.420 You know, guys, I can really relate to you 0.99

01:06:18.180 because, hey, look, I'm dumb. 0.94

01:06:20.000 I can't read. 0.97

01:06:21.380 I don't read books. 0.80

01:06:24.200 I'm a criminal.

01:06:26.260 You know, a lot of politicians,

01:06:27.700 they'll deny that they're a criminal.

01:06:28.860 But I want you guys to know,

01:06:30.400 I'm just like you.

01:06:31.100 I commit crimes all the time.

01:06:34.500 I'm just like you.

01:06:35.460 So really it's up to,

01:06:38.020 this is the most egregious example

01:06:41.280 of this kind of thing,

01:06:42.120 but this is what Democrats do all the time,

01:06:43.460 of course.

01:06:43.700 And really it's up to black voters 0.97

01:06:45.460 to decide when they're finally fed up 0.84

01:06:48.120 with this insane level

01:06:49.400 of patronizing, insulting pandering.

01:06:54.740 It's really up to them.

01:06:56.140 And I will also say, though,

01:06:57.440 not to defend Newsom here,

01:06:58.620 but this is a form of pandering

01:07:00.840 that politicians do to all voters

01:07:04.140 these days.

01:07:05.820 In fact, there were white people

01:07:07.000 in the crowd as well.

01:07:09.280 And so this is, it's not,

01:07:12.800 this is the tack they take with everybody.

01:07:17.360 And we should be,

01:07:18.360 so it's, which doesn't make it any better.

01:07:22.480 But where they basically try to impress us

01:07:25.080 by being unimpressive.

01:07:26.580 This is that, that kind of mentality,

01:07:31.100 this kind of faux populist mentality,

01:07:33.380 where, which, which we've seen

01:07:35.720 for a long time now,

01:07:37.060 where they don't want to seem elitist.

01:07:40.480 They don't want to seem like they're an elite.

01:07:43.700 So they go, 0.96

01:07:45.380 they kind of dumb things down 0.91

01:07:47.000 and in this case, 0.90

01:07:49.480 bragging about low SAT scores

01:07:51.240 and struggling to read.

01:07:52.400 Uh, I, I don't know about you,

01:07:56.920 but I don't, I don't want that

01:07:57.780 in a politician.

01:07:59.920 I know the, the, the elites

01:08:01.900 get a bad rap and, and,

01:08:03.340 and for good reason.

01:08:05.120 But I actually want someone

01:08:06.580 who's going to lead the country

01:08:07.420 to be elite in a certain sense.

01:08:10.200 I don't want them to be elitist necessarily

01:08:12.380 in a sense of being, um,

01:08:17.480 you know, having a degrading,

01:08:19.460 a demeaning view of, of normal people,

01:08:21.720 but I want them to be elite.

01:08:23.100 I, I do.

01:08:23.480 I want them to have elite levels

01:08:24.600 of intelligence,

01:08:26.520 leadership skills, competence.

01:08:31.260 I mean, that's what I want.

01:08:33.960 I don't need someone who, 0.99

01:08:35.500 this, this, this whole dumb thing 0.98

01:08:37.280 about, oh, you want somebody, 0.98

01:08:38.380 it's like someone you could sit down

01:08:39.760 and have a beer with.

01:08:40.460 Someone you could sit down

01:08:41.000 and have a, I don't, I don't care.

01:08:42.080 I don't, I'm not looking for a friend.

01:08:44.380 You don't need to be my friend.

01:08:45.440 I don't care.

01:08:48.300 And even if I was looking for a friend, 0.98

01:08:49.620 I'm not looking for dumb friends either. 0.76

01:08:51.080 So, uh, this, this wouldn't even work for that. 0.96

01:08:57.560 Cause here's the thing.

01:08:58.340 If it's actually true

01:08:59.420 that Gavin Newsom got a 960 on his SAT,

01:09:03.480 if that, if he's not lying about that,

01:09:05.980 if the, if the first time he's ever told the truth

01:09:08.580 is when he confessed to getting a 960 on his SAT,

01:09:11.700 uh, then that reason, that's reason,

01:09:15.420 that's reason enough why he should be president.

01:09:17.320 I mean, there's plenty of other reasons.

01:09:18.420 Don't get me wrong.

01:09:19.200 There's a lot of other stuff he's done

01:09:20.420 since he took his SATs

01:09:21.560 that would also disqualify him,

01:09:22.760 but we don't even need to get to that stuff.

01:09:24.620 If you really got a 960,

01:09:26.360 that's a, that's a,

01:09:28.100 it's a pretty good reflection of your IQ.

01:09:31.360 Then you should not be president. 1.00

01:09:33.900 You are actually too stupid. 1.00

01:09:36.820 And if it's true that you can't read coherently, 1.00

01:09:39.820 if you, if you struggle to read,

01:09:41.540 well, I, I'm, I, I'm sorry for that,

01:09:45.240 but yeah, you can't be president.

01:09:51.700 That's something I would like to,

01:09:53.220 you know, that, that should be a follow-up

01:09:54.340 once we get to the, once he, once he announces,

01:09:56.200 once he inevitably announces

01:09:57.260 that he's running for president,

01:09:58.140 that's something that should come up again.

01:10:01.120 Hey, Gavin, is it, so is it true? 1.00

01:10:03.000 Like, are you actually as dumb 1.00

01:10:04.180 as you just said you were? 1.00

01:10:06.260 Do you actually struggle to read?

01:10:07.680 You really, you got a 960 on your SATs

01:10:10.640 and you want to be president of the United States?

01:10:16.500 So that should be disqualifying

01:10:18.560 along with all the other things

01:10:19.680 that have already disqualified him or should have.

01:10:23.440 All right, we'll end it there for today.

01:10:26.200 Thanks for watching.

01:10:26.760 Thanks for listening.

01:10:27.280 Talk to you tomorrow.

01:10:28.480 Have a great day.

01:10:29.840 Godspeed.

01:10:30.120 They told you America invented slavery.

01:10:40.180 They told you the Indians were peaceful.

01:10:43.720 They told you colonialism was evil

01:10:45.680 and that Joseph McCarthy was a bad guy.

01:10:48.940 And guess what?

01:10:50.100 They lied.

01:10:51.680 For half a century,

01:10:52.480 generations of American schoolchildren

01:10:53.960 have been taught to hate our history,

01:10:56.060 hate our country,

01:10:57.360 and hate themselves.

01:10:58.120 It's time to set the record straight.

01:11:00.780 And since no one else is going to do it,

01:11:03.100 I will.

01:11:04.360 Who sold us the slaves?

01:11:05.780 What were India and Africa like

01:11:07.560 before Europeans arrived?

01:11:09.040 What caused white flight?

01:11:11.140 Some of the most well-known stories

01:11:12.380 from American history

01:11:13.040 are designed to demoralize you.

01:11:15.140 The Trail of Tears,

01:11:16.240 the Smallpox Blanket Smith,

01:11:17.820 the Red Scare.

01:11:19.040 It's all baseless.

01:11:20.580 It's time for a lesson

01:11:21.480 on what they're not teaching in public schools,

01:11:24.140 on the real history of slavery,

01:11:25.960 of colonialism,

01:11:26.560 of the Indians,

01:11:28.300 of America,

01:11:29.420 and the world.

01:11:30.900 It's time for Real History
