"BODYCAM: Another Violent Attack From An Immigrant Proves We Need Denaturalization"

Date: December 1, 2025
Host: Matt Walsh, The Daily Wire

Overview

In this episode, Matt Walsh delivers a provocative and uncompromising monologue on recent violent acts allegedly committed by immigrants and refugees, using them as evidence to argue for sweeping changes in U.S. immigration and naturalization policy. Walsh advocates for mass denaturalization and dramatically stricter border controls, seizing on recent news reports of attacks with immigrant perpetrators. He challenges mainstream narratives about refugee vetting, multiculturalism, and accuses politicians and officials (especially in Minnesota) of enabling massive fraud and criminality within immigrant communities.

Main Discussion Points & Insights

1. Fairfax Shooting, Refugee Violence, and Media Silence

[08:30–20:30]

• Incident Recap: Walsh recounts an attempted cop-killing in Fairfax, VA involving Jamal Walley, an Afghan refugee, who, during a traffic stop, expressed open contempt for Americans and white people before shooting at police officers.
• Bodycam Audio: Walsh highlights inflammatory quotes omitted by most media outlets for political reasons.
  • Notable Quote:
    • Jamal Walley: “You effing dumb white people. You brought me to this country. I should have served with the effing Taliban.” [09:35]
• Media Critique: The host underscores the lack of news coverage, accusing press and politicians in liberal counties of deliberately ignoring the negative consequences of their open-border policies.
• Moral: According to Walsh, this kind of violent event demonstrates why the “naïve” belief in universally grateful, loyal refugees is dangerously misplaced.
  • Walsh: "We need to reassess how we have allowed foreigners into this country, and we need to start removing the people who lied to us as part of that process." [15:00]

2. Patterns of Terror: More Afghan Refugee Crime

[20:30–26:30]

• Recent Attacks: Walsh references several recent terror incidents involving Afghan immigrants (shootings in D.C., foiled election day bombing in Oklahoma, bomb-making threats in Texas).
  • Quote from Oklahoma Complaint: “...prosecutors lay out a timeline...how they supported ISIS and a planned election day terrorist attack on US soil.” [22:15]
• Policy Connection: Argues these incidents fuel and justify Donald Trump’s calls to ban Third World immigration permanently, delete illegal admissions, and denaturalize non-loyal migrants.

3. Trump’s Response and the Call for Denaturalization

[26:30–32:15]

• Trump’s Statement (Thanksgiving Day):
  • Notable Quote:
    • Trump: “Denaturalize migrants who undermine domestic tranquility and deport any foreign national who is a public charge, security risk or non-compatible with Western civilization. Only reverse migration can fully cure this situation.” [28:45]
• Walsh’s Interpretation: Praises Trump’s passion, attacks Tim Walls (MN governor), and calls for action, not just tough talk.
  • Walsh: “If...he begins denaturalizing foreigners who have lied their way to the country, then the lives of millions of Americans will be clearly, markedly improved in every way." [29:55]

4. How Mass Denaturalization Would Work

[32:15–40:30]

• Legal Precedents:
  • Historically rare but not unheard of (e.g., 1M+ during the Great Depression, mostly of Mexican descent).
  • Current law: Government must prove fraud or material misrepresentation in citizenship application, or links to terror/Communist groups.
  • Example from federal official Joseph Edloe:
    • "Officers encountered blatant marriage fraud, visa overstays, people claiming to work at businesses that can't be found, forged documents, abuse of the H1B visa system..." [36:40]
• Walsh's Argument: Claims extensive fraud particularly among the Somali communities in Minnesota, argues the legal threshold is not as insurmountable as the establishment claims.
• Fraud as Basis for Revocation: Suggests even post-citizenship criminal acts and cultural incompatibility should count as grounds for revocation:
  • Walsh: “Let's say a Somali comes to this country, becomes a naturalized citizen, and immediately begins defrauding us... he lied on his immigration form and has forfeited his right to live in this country.” [39:00]

5. Case Study: Massive Somali Fraud in Minnesota

[40:30–50:00]

• Whistleblower Account: Walsh reads from a purported letter by 480+ staff of Minnesota Department of Human Services blaming Gov. Walls for suppressing fraud reports and retaliation.
  • Quote:
    • “Tim Walls is 100% responsible for massive fraud in Minnesota...retaliated against whistleblowers...disempowered the Office of the Legislative Auditor...” [42:05]
• New York Times Investigation: $1+ billion stolen in fraud schemes, mostly Medicaid/autism treatment scams. Only a fraction of offenders prosecuted.
  • Walsh: “This is unlike any other foreign fraud in American history. It's a fraud that is only possible with the support of a very large number of people. ...It's a fraud that's consistent with how Somalis destroyed their own country.” [47:20]
• Blaming Whole Communities: Walsh forcefully claims that it’s appropriate to hold entire immigrant communities responsible.

6. Expanding the Scope: Ideal of “Reverse Migration”

[50:00–56:00]

• Generalization: Asserts “the vast majority of Somalis and Afghans in this country simply don't have the IQ or the culture or...morals to be good apples.”
• Policy Proposal: The only solution, he claims, is the largest denaturalization campaign in U.S. history.
  • Walsh: “Look through their social media feeds, identify everybody involved...get rid of every single one of them.” [55:15]

7. Philosophy of Citizenship & Loyalty

[58:00–1:07:30]

• Clip: Viral “Whatever Podcast” A naturalized citizen admits she’d side with Colombia over the US if conflict arose.
  • Quote:
    • Host: “You do not become a citizen until you have completed the oath ceremony...Did you say that? ...So you didn't. You lied to get into the United States, bro. You have allegiance to Colombia.” [59:30]
  • Walsh’s Commentary: Citizenship should be conditional—if proven you lied about allegiance, you should lose it.
  • Walsh: “Most immigrants, the vast majority, feel exactly like face tattoo woman feels… I respect it. I understand that. But that's why I say, well, you got to go back.” [1:06:00]
• Blood Ties > Choice: Walsh argues that immigrants’ inherent loyalty to their homelands is natural but disqualifying for American citizenship; even their children will never fully assimilate.
  • Walsh: “Blood is stronger than personal choice or personal achievement. That's the truth.” [1:05:15]

8. Critique of Political Leaders & “Defense” of America

[1:12:00–1:21:00]

• Sen. Mark Kelly & Military Ethics:
  • Kelly objects to a U.S. strike on a drug boat as potentially a war crime, which Walsh mocks:
    • Walsh: “The whole point of hitting the boat with a missile is to kill the people on board...if there are people who were not killed, why would it be out of bounds to hit them again? That's war.” [1:15:20]
  • Contrasts Kelly’s pride in combat actions abroad (Kuwait) with his disapproval of targeting narco terrorists who threaten Americans domestically.
    • Walsh: “Killing people to protect Kuwait, that's legitimate. But killing people to protect America, our actual country, our homeland—well, that's troubling. That's problematic.” [1:18:30]
  • Concludes with a radical call:
    • Walsh: “Mass slaughter of every single drug trafficker who does any business inside the United States...utter and total slaughter of these people is what we should be doing.” [1:20:00]

9. Debunking Claims About Immigrant vs. White Supremacist Crime Rates

[1:23:30–1:26:00]

• Clip: Rep. Jasmine Crockett:
  • Crockett: “Immigrants have a lower crime committal rate than white supremacists.” [1:23:40]
• Walsh Rebuts: Labels the claim absurd, asserting white supremacists’ “crime committal rate is like zero”—and argues “white crime” stats are inflated with Hispanic offenders anyway.
  • Walsh: “You're more likely to be, I don't know, gored to death by a moose... than you are to be killed by a white supremacist." [1:24:45]

Summary Takeaway

Matt Walsh frames the episode as a manifesto for a sweeping reversal of pro-immigration policies, seizing on specific cases of immigrant crime and fraud (especially among Afghan and Somali communities) to justify proposals for “mass denaturalization” and drastically tougher immigration enforcement. He makes the case that loyalty and cultural compatibility—not paper citizenship—should decide who belongs in the U.S. Throughout, Walsh rebukes politicians, the media, and critics as either delusional, incompetent, or complicit, advocating a radical, uncompromising vision of American national unity.
