From Amazon MGM Studios comes Melania. Every protocol, every precaution, every move coordinated. This new film takes you inside the 20 days leading up to the 2025 presidential inauguration through the eyes of the first lady herself. The briefings, the planning, the private conversations, witness what it takes to secure her return to one of the world's most powerful roles. Melania only in theaters January 30th. They told you America invented slavery. They told you the Indians were peaceful. They told you colon colonialism was evil and that Joseph McCarthy was a bad guy. And guess what? They lied. For half a century, generations of American schoolchildren have been taught to hate our history, hate our country and hate themselves. Time to set the record straight. And since no one else is going to do it, I will. Who sold us the slaves? What were India and Africa like before Europeans arrived? What caused white flight? Some of the most well known stories from American history are designed to demoralize you. Trail of Tears, smallpox, Blanket Smith, the Red Scare. It's all baseless. It's time for a lesson on what they're not teaching in public schools, on the real history of slavery, of colonialism, of the Indians of America and the world. It's time for Real History with Matt Walsh, now streaming only on Daily Wire. Today, the Matt Walsh show. We've heard quite a bit about the Somali invasion of Minnesota, but the same thing's happening to an even worse degree in other places in the country. In fact, in the state of Maine, there's been an explicit out in the open campaign to make the state less white by importing foreigners from Africa. This deserves much more attention than it's getting. We'll talk about it today. Also, a feminist woman writes what is perhaps the most deranged op ed ever published, trying to explain why she doesn't want the men who allegedly gang raped her to go to prison. And Ilhan Omar is sprayed with a liquid during a town hall event. The media and Democrats are treating this like a national tragedy. We'll talk about all of that and more today. On the MATT walsh. Ten years ago, the state of Maine had many easily identifiable, objectively serious problems. Poverty rates in the so called rim counties, which are rural, exceeded 20%. The population was declining substantially. The paper industry was collapsing with several mills going bankrupt. In a short period of time, thousands of jobs were disappearing. And on top of that, the workforce was getting much older with a median age of 44 years old. But in the eyes of leftists in New England, including wealthy leftists in Maine, none of these issues really mattered. Very much. Instead, the biggest problem in Maine, the only one they cared about, was that a lot of white people lived there. Something like 95% of Maine's population at the time was white. Now you might think to yourselves, if you're normal people, so what? Why would, well to do leftists care so much about the demographics of a relatively small state? Why would they despise the presence of a lot of white people in Maine? Well, here's why. Take a look at this screenshot, which is from an actual article that was published by USA Today in 2018. You may have seen the screenshot before because it's become something of a meme, but again, it's all real. And I, I looked it up to confirm it is real. The article is called the Best and Worst thing about each State. So for Maine, the USA Today article states, quote, the best thing lowest violent crime rate. Maine ranks as the safest state in the country as There were just 124 violent crimes reported for every 100,000 residents, less than a third of the national rate. The worst thing? Least diverse. According to the latest census data, 94.4% of Maine's population is white, beating out nearby Vermont and New Hampshire as the least diverse states. Yes, the best part of the state is that there's no violent crime, but the worst part of the state is that there's no diversity. And over at USA Today, no one even considered the possibility that there might be a, I don't know, causal link between these two statements, because if they did, they would not have published this in a million years. Of course. So there it is. In in the era of blm, racial equity and George Floyd, the state of Maine was a living rebuttal to the fundamental tenets of modern leftism. Maine was proof that diversity is not in fact our strength. In fact, diversity is a clear and present danger to every American. Diversity makes your community less safe. That's just a fact, plain as day. And additionally, Maine proved that contrary to leftist orthodoxy, extreme poverty, which Maine has poverty, does not necessarily necessarily lead to high rates of violent crime. Like it turns out, you could have communities that are poor but not very violent. It's just that those communities have to be white. That's what the stats tell us. Instead, Maine demonstrated that all of the FBI crime statistics are true. Non white people commit an overwhelming, staggering amount of serious crime in this country. And therefore in a state with only white people, there's a lot less serious crime. Well, this status quo is obviously unacceptable to the Democrat party and to leftists everywhere. So they immediately set out to destroy Maine, especially the poor white areas. This is not some fringe conspiracy theory by the way. Leftists were very open about what they were planning. Here's the New York Times in 2018, for example, quote New Hampshire, like its neighbors Vermont and Maine, is nearly all white. This has posed an array of problems for new arrivals who often find themselves isolated and alone without the comfort and support of a built in community. It also poses problems for employers in these states who find that their homogeneity can be a barrier to recruiting and retaining workers of different ethnicities and cultural backgrounds. The issue prompted about 100 business leaders, government officials and members of non profit organizations to meet Tuesday to search for ways that New Hampshire, which is 94% white, might lure other racial and ethnic groups as well as younger people. The irony is that their own population's stagnant. These states must look to outsiders if they want to grow. So to restate, According to New York Times and Democrats across New England, the fact that Maine is mostly white has caused an array of problems. It is an issue that needs to be solved as quickly as possible. Now it's in any other context, leftists would immediately identify this rhetoric as obviously not only racist but genocidal and all the rest of it, because it is. But when you're trying to get rid of white people instead of say, you know, illiterate criminals in Baltimore or in Detroit, it's totally fine to talk this way. You know, as long as you're not taking issue with the presence of thousands of fentanyl addicted, violent black felons like George Floyd in your state, then you're good. So the forcible demographic replacement of whites began. And to add humiliation to injury, white taxpayers, many of them poor, were forced to fund their own replacement. Again, this is from the New York times quote. In 2009, refugees accounted for 16% of Lewiston's welfare costs, according to the Lewiston Social Services Department. But in 2010 the city began seeing a steady increase in asylum seekers and welfare costs started climbing. This year asylum seekers accounted for 37% of the city's welfare costs while other refugees accounted for 11%. Now those are from 15 years ago. Those numbers demographic replacement was only just beginning in Maine. In fact, the governor of Maine, Janet Mills was went on to announce a new office of New Americans along with a proclamation that says that she saying that she intended to bring 75000 so called new Mainers to the state of Maine by 2029. Of course new Mainers is code for foreign nationals and fake refugees. And in 2019, Mill stated that so called asylum seekers will be entitled to general assistance, meaning taxpayer funded welfare. So what's happened in the intervening years as foreigners from the third world have been imported into Maine without interruption on the order of the Democrat party? Well, let's see. This is from News Nation just a couple of weeks ago.

News Reporter
A small community in Maine is calling for accountability tonight after they say money for mass shooting victims instead went to Somali linked nonprofits. You'll likely recall that in October 2023, 18 people were killed in Lewiston, Maine when a U.S. army reservist opened fire at a bowling alley in a bar and grill. In the wake of the shooting, a local nonprofit created a fund promising that 100% of the money would go to the victims. Generous donors gave millions of dollars, but a large chunk of that money did not go to victims. That's part of the outrage. Where it ended up is the other part.
- [09:35]
In the wake of the shooting, a local nonprofit, the Main Community foundation, established the the Lewiston Auburn Area Response Fund.
- [09:43]
We all met in an auditorium in this school and they told us that night that 100% of the funds would go to the victims. And then I got received the email too to say that.
- [09:54]
That email from the Main Community foundation says it is, quote, to help ensure survivors and Victims know that 100% of all donations go to victims, survivors of this tragic event.
- [10:04]
They kept telling me, if you have anyone who wants to give, give to this because it's 100% for the survivors and family members.
- [10:10]
But a year later, Amy investigated and uncovered that a big chunk of the money raised $1.9 million went not to the victims, but to 29 different nonprofits.
- [10:21]
Nine of the 29 are for immigrants only nonprofits that serve the immigrant community in Lewiston, Auburn, Lewiston area groups like.
- [10:31]
Empowered Immigrant Women Unite Generation, Noor Newmayer's Public Health Initiative, the Somali Bantu Community association and Gateway Community Services, which has been accused of misusing taxpayer funds. And after our reporting was visited by Homeland Security, Gateway's executive director was on the fund steering committee and they received $65,000 from the fund.

Matt Walsh
You probably remember that mass shooting in Maine. We talked about it on the show at the time. The media never told us what drugs the shooter may have been taking, even though there's no conceivable reason to hide that information other than to appease Big Pharma, which coincidentally buys more media advertising than any any other industry on the planet. And at the Time, that's what we focused on when we talked about this shooting on the air. Wanted to figure out how it happened and how similar shootings could be prevented in the future. But the Somali community in Maine and the broader network of leftist NGOS that facilitate mass migration, they were not asking those questions. They didn't remotely care about the loss of life that resulted from the mass shooting. They didn't care that 18 people had died, including a 14 year old and several members of the local deaf community who were playing club Cornhole. Instead, without missing a beat, they immediately concocted a multi million dollar fraud. Of course, within 48 hours they drew up a scam. And in the end, some of these fake Somali nonprofits made far more money from this fundraiser than the actual survivors of the shooting, who were white. There were no Somalis among the victims. The reason the scam was uncovered is that beginning in February of last year, Edward Tomik and Steve Robinson of the Maine Wire started reporting on where the donations were going. And Robinson reported that the Maine Community Foundation, a nonprofit founded in 1983, launched quote, two concurrent fundraisers just two days after the mass shooting on October 27, 2023. Foundation ultimately raised more than $6 million across two fundraisers, one of which was explicitly earmarked for victims. The other fundraiser was earmarked for Lewiston Auburn Area Broad Recovery and Organizations Fund. The idea was that by donating you'd help the community recover from the mass shooting. Well, the main wire found that roughly $4.7 million was indeed sent to victims and their families. But nearly $2 million went to immigrant and refugee related nonprofits that have no connection to the shooting whatsoever. And it's clear why this happened. At least four members of the on the 10 person steering committee on the fund were in turn representatives for organizations that received money from the foundation. And those four members included Mahuddin Lieba of the Somali Bantu Community association, as well as a representative from United Way and Gateway Community Services, which is another Somali nonprofit. Even by the standards of unapologetic low IQ Somali fraud, this is truly sociopathic behavior. But the important thing to understand here is that as in Minneapolis, the Somalis aren't coming up with these schemes on their own. The NGOs and the Democrat Party are all enabling it. And they're doing it because these foreigners are key to their political power. Now for one thing, of course, a lot of these illegal aliens vote. Maine Secretary of State Shena Bellows admitted that just a few months ago she was on a podcast with Mark Elias The Democrat operative. And here's what she said. Watch.
- [14:06]
Shena Bellows
So then you go into the darker motivations. Why would they want a national voter file? Are they on a fishing expedition? Is this a witch hunt to try to find every single potential problem? And guess what? You know there are duplicates on the voter rolls because people don't tell their clerks when they move. Not duplicate voters, but duplicate registrants. Sometimes there may be. I'm sure there are. In some isolated instances, some non citizens may be on the rolls. And that's what election officials do every day, is verify the integrity of the voter rolls.
- [14:41]
Matt Walsh
So to repeat, quote, sometimes there may be. I'm sure there are, in some isolated instances, some non citizens may be on the rolls. But you shouldn't worry about that, according to Shannon Bellows, because Democrats are working very hard to ensure the integrity of our democracy. That's her answer when she's explaining why she doesn't want to turn over Maine's voter rolls to independent investigators for an audit. But wait a minute. How would a single illegal alien ever get on the voter rolls in the first place? Seems like that'd be pretty easy to prevent that from happening. What safeguards does the state of Maine employ to ensure that only American citizens are voting in our elections? And how many illegal aliens have been able to circumvent those safeguards? Those are important questions for a secretary of state to address. But for Shenabello, it's no big deal. And we all know why that is. These foreigners voted for Shanabelos and her party. That's it. And actually, they do a lot more than that. Again, Steve Robinson, the editor of the Main Wire, who also writes on Substack, has done extraordinary reporting on the relationship between foreign fraudsters and the Democrat Party. And here's what he found. Quote, Gateway Community Services, founded 2014 by Somali American refugee Abdullah Ali, came under fire last week thanks to whistleblower allegations reported exclusively by the Robinson Report that detailed an elaborate effort to overbill Medicaid known in Maine as Main Care. At the same time the alleged fraud was happening, the Mills administration handed lucrative contracts to Ali's company and related nonprofit while Ali and a former employee were creating the community organizing alliance COA to boost voting for Democrats in migrant neighborhoods. So what happened is that in 2018, an audit uncovered that the Somali nonprofit had allegedly overbilled Main Care by nearly a million dollars. From 2015 to 2017, more than 35% of their claims to Main Care supposedly contained errors. These are claims that were made by whistleblowers who worked there. But instead of forcing the non profit to return that money, Janet Mills and Democrats have showered them with even more taxpayer cash. Quote since February 22 from Since February 2022, state contract records show Gateway has received nearly $3.3 million in taxpayer money under agreements with state agencies including Department of Health and Human Services, the Permanent Commission on the Status of Racial, Indigenous and Tribal Populations, the Department of Education and the Department of Economic and Community Development. For good measure, here's Governor Janet Mills standing alongside Gateway Community Services CEO Abdullah Ali and Eklis Ahmed, a Gateway Community Services employee who now works for the Office of New Americans. And they all look very happy together. Why wouldn't they? They seem to have a mutually beneficial arrangement going on. The Somali nonprofit gets cash and the Democrats get a grassroots operation. Grassroots that churns out votes. Of course, Maine's mostly white population is not benefiting from this arrangement. Instead, in addition to being robbed, they're also losing their cats. This is from late 2024. Bangor Animal Control is continuing to investigate the mysterious disappearance of cats in Bangor's Fairmount neighborhood, with officials saying multiple factors could be responsible for the recent uptick in unexplained vanishing felines aside from wild predators. Animal control officer for the Bangor Police Department, Tricia Bruun, said on Monday that the recent wave of residents reporting their cats as missing began this summer. There's now close to 20 cases. Residents in the neighborhood have been left perplexed by the sudden disappearance of their beloved pets, with some questioning whether wildlife is responsible due to to the lack of remains or collars being found. Now, we'll say that those cats, coincidentally enough, disappeared shortly after Catholic Charities began settling a bunch of Haitians in Bangor. So who knows? Who's to say if there's a connection? Could just be a coincidence. For all the attention that's been paid to Minneapolis in recent weeks, it needs to be said that the full scale assault on white people in Maine who are being replaced and defrauded at the same time truly stands apart. Keep in mind, many of the people being defrauded in Maine are poor white people. I mean, this is, this is again, sociopathic. They're targeting people who are old and poor and white simply because of the fact that they're old and poor and white. And the scale of the theft is staggering. Recently, auditors with the Department of Health and Human Services took a look at claims for reimbursement for autism treatment services that were submitted to the federal government by dhhs, which is the main department of Health and Human services. And here's what the inspector general of the federal HHS found. This is from Robinson. Quote, A federal report published Thursday threatens to blow yet another hole in the state's budget. The fiscal wreckage of the audit is substantial, with federal auditors estimating that DHHS made at least $45.6 million in improper payments in 2023 alone. Of that total, the feds are demanding that the state refund $28.7 million. The OIG flagged another 22.4 million 14.2 million federal share as potentially improper, citing documentation so unreliable or incomplete that officials could not verify if the services were actually rendered. Now, just to underscore how guilty Democrats in Maine are, here's an email from a senior appointee of Janet Mills, which was sent to other Democrat staffers in September of 2025. This email is a response to House Republicans efforts to conduct oversight into Maine's Medicaid spending. And it reads, quote, the goal here is to avoid a congressional subpoena. Yes, they put that in writing. I mean, of all the things to not say in writing, you're putting in writing, hey, we're trying to cover this up. How's the COVID up going? I sure hope nobody finds out about this cover up that we're doing right now. Their objective is to avoid federal oversight. And put another way, they want to be able to spend millions of dollars of taxpayer money without having to explain where the money is going to. This is the position of Maine's entire government. And to illustrate that point some more, here's another email from Maine's Attorney General. This is from January of last year, shortly after Trump took office. Again, it was obtained by the Maine Wire. The email reads, quote, all DHHS departments have received a directive from the Office of the Attorney General OAG advising staff that if an attorney or anyone else from the Department of justice or the U.S. attorney's Office reach out looking to meet or seeking information, staff should not respond. Instead, they should forward the correspondence to their supervisor and the superintendent's office. The superintendent's office will then reach out to the appropriate Assistant Attorney General to advise if the communication happens to occur over the phone. Staff should tell the individual that they cannot provide information at this time and will need to speak with counsel first. So none of this looks good for Democrats in Maine or the foreigners they're importing. It looks like a lot, a lot like they have a consciousness of guilt. But to be fair, since we're all about fairness on the show, I feel compelled to present the Somali side of the argument here, here's the response from a woman named Ina Jirdi Inaruti who really takes Steve Robinson to task.
- [22:21]
Ina Jirdi Inaruti
Watch, there's this man called Steve Robinson and he is an alt, right, white neo Nazi. He's a neo Nazi. He's a white nationalist who is continuing to target businesses through so called media, right? They, they created this platform they're calling journalism. It's none of that is journalism. It's all propaganda. They are targeting Somali owned businesses, immigrant businesses. If you're black, you're being targeted. If you're brown, you're being targeted. They are doxing people their addresses, their names online.
- [23:03]
Matt Walsh
This is what the Somalis learn to do in Minneapolis. They do it in Maine as well. They just accuse you of racism when you point out their rampant fraud. That's their tactic. And they rely on that tactic because it works. And that needs to change. And on top of that, this administration needs to recognize the national security implications of what these foreigners are doing. This is not a domestic story solely. These invaders are coming from a foreign country with the intent to defraud us and then they're sending a lot of that money back to Somalia. We've already talked about Chris Ruffo's reporting about how some of this taxpayer money is ending up in the hands of terrorists. And as the main wire reports, it's not exactly hard for Somalis to send this money overseas. Quote. An investigation into an unassuming office building on Portland's Anderson street has revealed an interlinked network of lucrative Medicaid agencies co located with Dabashiel and Emirati money transfer business favored by the Central bank of Somalia. Main care spending records obtained under the Freedom of Access act show that the five main care agencies located within the office building at 203 Anderson street have increased their combined annual billing from $900,000 in 2019 to 4 million in 2024. The building houses a branch of Dahabashiel, the largest money transfer business in Africa. Founded in Somalia and now based in the uae, it allows for the easy transfer of funds back into African nations, including Somalia. Now, for Robinson, the solution here is simple. Watch.
- [24:36]
Steve Robinson
The more you investigate this as a journalist or the more the law enforcement investigates this, you find more and more these connections to political actors in Somalia or Central Africa. You find more and more that there are high level political figures in Somalia who are benefiting from this scheme. On the money transmission side, they have their own daycares or healthcare businesses in Minnesota or in Maine. And you can't help but view this as a form of nation building for Somalia, but also economic terrorism against the middle class in Maine, in Minnesota. I think this is economic terrorism and I think it needs to be treated that way. They are systematically defrauding the American taxpayer at the nation state level in order to build out their country in Somalia. And it is economic terrorism. And the victims are the people who are dying of overdoses in Lewiston. The victims are the people who those benefits could have been spent on. The victims are the people in northern rural Maine, the working class people, guys I went to high school with who are seeing, you know, half their paycheck go away in taxes so that Abdullahi Ali can drive a Mercedes and have an estate in Kenya while he's running for warlord of Jubaland. Like those are the victims of the economic terrorism that the Medicaid fraud is wreaking. And once you start treating it like economic terrorism, it becomes a national security problem. So I think you need to unlock national security level responses to stop the fraud, to prevent it from happening in the future. And if you're ever going to get some semblance of justice for what's happened here, it has to be at the national security level. There has to be a kinetic response to remove this, to stop this.

This is the attitude we need to adopt from this moment forward concerning these foreign fraudsters and criminals who are stealing our money, including money that's intended for the victims of mass shootings. They aren't coming here by themselves. They're coming here because they've been aided and abetted by foreign governments that despise this country and white people in general. These foreigners are financially and politically supported by hostile foreign governments because these foreign governments benefit financially from the fraud. Meanwhile, as a result, you won't find Maine on the list of safest places to be anymore. So mission accomplished. It's more diverse, which the USA today would celebrate, but it is also, as a consequence, a direct consequence, far more dangerous. Lewiston, the second largest city in Maine, experienced a total of 192 shootings from 2019 to July of 2025, along with 1500 drug overdoses in 2019. There were only 10 shootings and 113 overdoses the whole year. Well, in just the first six months of 2025, there were 20 shootings and 115 overdoses. In other words, the rates of shootings and overdoses have increased exponentially along with the rate of diversity in Maine, as Janet Mills calls shouldn't fall on an independent journalist like Robinson to uncover what's happening in Maine. This should be one of the highest priorities of the Trump administration because the left views Maine as a blueprint for their plan to engineer mass demographic replacement and to cause mass casualties and poverty among white populations. And because they face no resistance whatsoever in Maine, they're going to do the same thing all over the country unless the White House goes to war with these people. Arrest the fraudsters, punish the foreign governments that are sponsoring this, allow Americans to live in their own country again and using the military, if needed, force everybody else to live in theirs. Now, let's get to our five headlines. This episode is sponsored by relay. You know, I've talked extensively about how porn is crushing the lives of millions of American men. Truth is, if you're looking at porn, you're deceiving your wife, your family, yourself and your faith. Let's be honest, how many times have you or someone you know said, okay, that was the last time, but then a few days go by and you end up falling back into it again? Well, sadly, a plethora of men fall into this category. And if this is something you struggle with, well, there's a great tool called Relay. Relay is one of the fastest growing apps that therapists and pastors are recommending for thousands of men who are serious about quitting porn. Let me be clear though. This is not a therapy app. It's an app that forces you to take ownership and personal accountability while leaning on a group and a community of like minded people for extra support. Relay gives you daily structure and tools based on Christian principles to help you overcome the addiction. If this is something you're dealing with, my listeners get a seven day free trial by clicking the link below and using the Code Walsh. The testimonials for this thing speak for themselves and that's why I wanted to share this. Something that is really saving marriages and helping guys break free. So don't wait. Be the man that your wife, your children and God want you to be. Use Code Walsh and join Relay today. All right, Bill Belichick not not voted into the hall of Fame on the first ballot. I'm not going to get into it. No one who watches this show cares about sports or cares about football, or at least they don't want to hear me talk about it, which I've learned I got to do a whole. I need a whole. What I need in my life is more to do. So I need a whole second show where I just talk about all the things that nobody on this show cares to hear me talk about. And so then it Just there would be a show with no audience, which would be great, you know, just like, which it would really just be football and aliens would be, it's I need my football and alien show. A whole separate show. But it is absurd that Bill Belichick, this is the big. If you follow sports, you follow sports commentary. This is the thing everyone's freaking out about today and of course making too big a deal out of it. But it is ridiculous that Bill Belichick, the greatest NFL coach of all time, apparently they, they, they haven't really officially announced it yet, but it leaked that there they will be announcing the hall of Fame class for this year. And Bill Belichick did not make it. He will make it in the future, but he didn't make it on the first ballot. He's been to 12 Super Bowls, if you count when he was a defensive coordinator as well. He won eight of them, won six as a head coach, went like 17 or 18 years in a row winning at least 10 games. I mean, just crazy amounts of success and didn't make it on into the, the hall of Fame this year anyway. And this is the same year when Shador is the same week actually that Shador Sanders is going to be making the Pro bowl as an alternate, but he's going to be in the Pro bowl. And, and of course he was drafted in the fifth round last year to the Cleveland Browns. He's like a third stringer, eventually ends up starting because of, basically because of attrition and injuries and stuff like that. And the Cleveland Browns are totally dysfunctional. And he throws, he throws 10, 10 interceptions, seven touchdowns. He's like 50% completion percentage or something like that. Not a good year. And he's in the Pro bowl, so it doesn't really matter. But I've been a defender of, as you know, of football and of the NFL, not corporate NFL, because the corporate NFL, the is annoying and woke and all the rest of it, but certainly the sport and also the product on the field, I'm a defender of. But one of my, one of my biggest arguments for football and for sports in general. And when you hear especially conservatives that say, oh, sports ball, who cares about it? One of my arguments against that attitude is that, well, number one, sports, that's part of culture. It's an important part of culture. Every culture through history has had sports. And so it is, it's an important aspect of culture. So to act like it doesn't matter, I mean it's, it is similar to saying, well, art, who needs art? Silly there's bad art, there's plenty of bad art, but you need it. That's part of having a thriving, healthy culture. But also, sports are a meritocracy. They're the last pure meritocracy. Especially football, especially the NFL. In spite of all the wokeness and everything else, when it comes down to it, it's still a meritocracy. It's still did you earn it or not? And but these two developments, if they are, if they portend that football, the NFL is officially getting away from that, where it's not a meritocracy anymore at all, well, then one of the primary arguments for it and for following it, I think, goes away. So Anyway, I'll do 30 minutes on that and some other show that doesn't exist.

Ilhan Omar was ranting about ice at an event last night when she was suddenly sprayed by an unknown, I think at this point, still unknown substance. Apparently it was a smelly, some sort of smelly, some sort of unpleasant substance she was sprayed with. Here's that moment.

Ice cannot be reformed. It cannot be rehabilitated. We must abolish ice for good. And dhs secretary kristi noem must resign or face impeachment. I don't know. All right, so the, the guy was arrested. I think at this point, we still haven't been told, like I said, what he sprayed her with. We don't know. He had a syringe and it's sprayed her. I don't think it hit her in the face. Hit her like in her shirt. And there's a lot of speculation that this attack was staged. And I, I have no idea if it was or not. Or not. I think that's a perfectly reasonable thing to worry about. You don't have to be a conspiracy theorist, okay? This is not like there's a mass shooting and you're saying, oh, it's crisis actors. It was all a hoax. Okay? This is not, not that this is. Leftists are constantly using hoaxes. We know that. And we also know that Somalis love to scam and they love to use deception. They're notorious scam artists. They just are. So in Ilhan's case, well, she's a Somali and a leftist, so the pattern points in a certain direction. I think it's very legitimate to worry about that or to wonder about it. Very legitimate to wonder about that. Now, on the other hand, the thing that points away from a staged event or a hoax is that the guy who did it was arrested and his ca. His face was clearly visible. His identity is known. And typically, if leftists are going to fake a hate crime or fake an attack of this type, they'll do it in. Which they do all the time, but they do it in a way that, where the culprit is never seen. You know, it's usually like, oh, if they were going to hoax this, if they were going to fake it, then what you would expect is that we would hear a story from Ilhan Omar about how this, how this happened when she was walking down the street. And maybe she would show us her shirt which has the. Some sort of liquid on it, and she'd have this whole story and that's all she would really need to do because the media would. Would run with it. That's the thing. If you're. If you're a leftist and you want to do a hoax, well, you don't have to try that hard. The media will go with it. So all she would need. She wouldn't even need to show us the shirt with the liquid on it. She could just say, oh, this happened. Did anyone see it happen? Oh, no, I was totally alone. You didn't have security? No, they were, they Were in the bathroom. Was there security cameras around? No, no, I was in. I just so happens walking down the street, it was like right in a blind spot with security cameras. Was it? Did anyone see it? Did anyone have a cell phone? And they got up? No, I didn't. Did you get it on your cell phone? No, I have my cell phone on me. Like, she could have just said that and the media would totally take it and run with it and it would be fine. So that's one thing that cuts against it being a hoax, is that she wouldn't need to do all this for this kind of hoax. And also because the person is known and they're on camera. Well, if this guy is actually a leftist, then that will be very clear very quickly. So orchestrating a hoax like this on camera with the assailant known and visible and now under arrest would be considerably more brazen than what leftists usually do. Now, on the other hand, I'm seeing a lot of interesting stuff on social media pointing to this guy maybe not being a right wing radical, let's say. I don't know if any of that is true or not. None of it's confirmed, so I can't report it as fact. I don't know. I'm open to either possibility. I just don't know. What I want to point out here, though, is the reaction where the media is. They've got their blaring headlines about this. They're condemning it. Of course, every prominent Democrat in the country has come out condemning it. AOC and Tim Walls and Chuck Schumer came out right away calling it a despicable, despicable act. Hakeem Jeffries said he was horrified, horrifying, horrified. Every Democrat is condemning it. Ilhan Omar herself came out an hour or two after this happened and issued a statement where she called herself. I'm not kidding, if you didn't see this. Called herself a survivor. She's a survivor. Yeah, she's a survivor of a liquid. She's a survivor of a stain on her shirt. Talking about herself like it was an assassination attempt. You know, now if this liquid was acid or, or, you know, if there was anthrax or something being sprayed on her, then, then I would get it. But that doesn't appear to be the case here, thankfully. But this is the predictable reaction. And meanwhile, leftists are out in the street every night throwing crap at ICE agents, accosting, assaulting law enforcement, throwing bricks at their head. Nobody on the left condemns that as Ilhan Omar. Condemn that. They. Excuse It. They encourage it. You think if there was video of a. Of a ice agent getting sprayed with a liquid, which they are. It happens all the time. But you think anyone on the left would say, that's horrifying. You sprayed him with a liquid. Horrifying. I'm. I won't be able to sleep tonight. I'll. I'll be tossing and turning. I'll have nightmares. You think they would say that? No. Again, there's video of ice agents getting. Getting. Getting bricks thrown at them. Cinder blocks. They're not horrified by that. Charlie Kirk was shot and killed. And as we know, they celebrated. Yet this is what they see as horrifying and despicable and some kind of great national tragedy. We'll all remember where we were. I'll never forget. I'll always remember where I was on the night when someone sprayed an unpleasant liquid on Ilhan Omar. What a tragedy. So it's all fake. I guess that's the point. That whether this was staged or not, and it very well may have not been. I mean, it may have been a thing that just happened. This was a crazy guy who did a thing. It. That's possible. But whether that's the case or not, it's still fake. This is all fake. The whole thing is still fake. No matter what the, the hand wringing and the panicking over it and the condemnations. It's all fake. You don't mean it. Like you can't actually be horrified. There's no way that you could be horrified by a liquid being sprayed on somebody, but not horrified by a guy getting shot in the throat on camera. So it's all fake. Subs sponsored by American Financing let's be honest, the math just isn't adding up lately, especially between the grocery store and those skyrocketing insurance premiums. Even with a steady job, more families are being forced to rely on high interest credit cards to cover expenses. If you're a homeowner caught in that cycle carrying balances with interest rates in the 20s or even 30s, it's time to get some relief. Right now, mortgage rates are at a three year low. And my friends at American Financing are helping homeowners pay off that high interest debt at rates in the low fives. Their salary based mortgage consultants don't just push loans. They build exit strategies from debt. On average, they're saving their customers $800 a month. Plus, if you start today, you may even delay the next two mortgage payments. There are no upfront fees or obligations to find out how much you can Save America's Home for Home loans is American financing 866-56947 11? That's 866-569-4711 or visit American financing.net Walsh all right, this is something that is so insane that it's actually hard to believe it's real. But it is real. And I'm just going to read rather. This is an op ed rather than read through the whole op ed, which is quite lengthy. The Post Millennial has a report about this op ed. It says a leftist writer has published a piece in the Nation explaining why she did not report her alleged 2021 gang rape at the hands of six men in Las Vegas, saying that she believes in the abolition of police and prisons. Anna Krauthammer, a writer and doctoral candidate in English Literature at Columbia University, wrote that In June of 2021, I was raped by a group of men during a three day trip I took to Las Vegas with two of my best friends. Of the rape, which lasted all night, I remember both too much and too little. I never did anything about it. I didn't tell anyone who could have done something about it either, such as the hotel staff or the Las Vegas police. The simple answer to the question of why I never reported the rape is that I believe in the abolition of police and prisons. The less simple, less articulate answer is that to pursue prosecuting and potentially incarcerating other people is inconceivable to me, even when they hurt me more than I could have ever believed possible. Because of this, I could only vocalize what I want in negative and inherently impossible terms, that all I want is for it to never have happened. The prospect of being a participant in other people's incarceration is as alien to me as anything could be, to the point that I could only conceive of it in childish terms. How silly and strange it would be to have a group of people incarcerated at my expense when doing so would do nothing to fix the damage they have already so thoroughly done. She said that she has long believed in and used the term prison abolition, but has felt in my bones that I could never participate in any chain of events that might send someone to prison for longer. Okay, now I have to say, of course, speaking of hoaxes, that there's always the very distinct possibility that this crime never occurred, that she made it up. I mean, we don't know. You know, one way to explain how this woman could be brutalized by multiple men all night and then not call the cops is that it didn't happen. So obviously she hasn't provided any evidence that would say that it's happened. So we can't be sure that it did. We know that leftist women lie about basically everything all the time and they have no moral conscience, so there's just no reason to believe anything that they say. But in this case, assuming it didn't happen would be doing her a favor. That's the more flattering interpretation because the other interpretation is that it did happen and now there are brutal violent predators out in the world who this woman refuses to have locked up, which makes her entirely morally culpable for anyone else that they victimize in the future. You know, she says how silly and strange it would be to have a group of people incarcerated at my expense when doing so would do nothing to fix the damage they have already so thoroughly done. Well, yeah, Anna, it won't fix what happened to you exactly, but it could help the next potential victim. There's always that. But that doesn't enter into your calculus at all, which as far as I'm concerned, makes you almost as evil as the predators themselves, if this even happened, which, who knows. But I mean, let's just go with that for now. Let's assume that it did happen. Okay, well, that means that this woman was, was horrifically assaulted, savagely attacked, and she still believes that the assailants should be free, that they should suffer no consequences at all. And I don't have to explain why that is crazy and wrong. I know I don't have to waste time arguing to anyone watching this show why it's a good idea to put rapists in prison rather than letting them run around outside free raping more people. I don't need to explain that. Prison, for one thing, is a form of societal self defense. It's how we defend innocent people and ourselves from violent criminals. And for another, it is punishment. You need to punish evil because that is justice. A society that does not punish evil is a society that does not have justice. And for another, it disincentivizes future criminal activity. Now in many cases, evil people don't respond to incentives and don't respond to it the way normal people do. But even so, without prison, if you're an evil scumbag, there is no incentive to not run around doing whatever you want. So all of that is obvious. The problem is that the point of view that Anna is expressing is for the most part mainstream on the left. Now the difference is that most leftists make an exception for crimes that where they themselves are the victims or might be the victims. So usually they're in favor of prison abolition, except in cases where their own lives are personally jeopardized or affected in some way. But aside from that, this is a mainstream view. It just is. This is mainstream on the left, especially in the, you know, kind of academia and, and in people who are the supposedly highly educated leftists, as this woman is, and we're experiencing the consequences. I mean, there are judges and DAs across the country who basically have this same point of view. And it's a point of view that. It's a point of view. I don't know how else to put it aside from we cannot share a civilization with people like this. We cannot share a country with people like this. You know, this is a point of view that you either condemn and exclude and ostracize, or it eats away at the pillars that are holding up the whole structure of civilization and everything comes tumbling down. Even debating this, I mean, this is the most frustrating thing about modern leftism, which is to even debate what these people believe is to go backwards. It's to go back and debate stuff that human beings already figured out 10,000 years ago. Okay? It's like the year 2026. We should be talking about how to get to Mars or whatever. Instead, we have to debate whether dangerous people should go to prison. This is literally something that human beings figured out, you know, a thousand centuries ago. We're way, way past that. Okay, go, go back, go back to the year like 9,000 BC and, and have that debate. And this is what they do with everything, right? I mean, we have to debate whether families are good. Is it good to have a family? Is it good? Is it good to have kids? Is it good for society to continue to exist? Is it, Is it, Should we kill babies? Is marriage good? We had to waste five years debating whether men can have. Whether men can have babies, do women have penises? And on and on. And this is why, honestly, I've just, I've kind of soured on the idea of debate at this point. I got to be honest with you. Like, you want me to debate this? Should we have a debate about this? Should we debate whether gang rapists should be in prison? Should we abolish prisons? Like, we're going to have a debate about that? Should we just let violent criminals, like, just do whatever they want? Should we just. Should we open the prisoners gates and let them all out? Debate it. Anyone who's on. Like, there are certain things that are just absolutely fundamental if you want to have a civilization at All. And so really, these are the questions they're asking. What they want us to debate is whether or not we should have a civilization. And that is not a question that is worth arguing about. Okay? If you don't understand why it's good to have a civilization, why civilization is better than the alternative, then you're just not fit to be a part of civilization. This is not like. We don't have to explain this to you. I'm not going to go back 10,000 years to debate whether the basic pillars of civilization are good or whether we should just pull the whole thing down, you know, like Samson, and bury ourselves under the rubble. I'm not debating that. And anyone with that view, what we should just do is mock and ostracize them and shout them down and laugh them off the stage. I mean, really, that's all you can do. There are some points of view that are not worthy of discussion. Just not. And this is why it. You know, I know this is controversial to some people, but this is why it was a catastrophic mistake to extend voting rights universally to everybody and to get everybody involved in the political process. Let's get everybody involved. Everyone should have a say. No, everyone should not have a say. Like this woman who wrote this should not be able to vote. She should. You should not be able to vote. You're not fit. You should not be a part of any kind of political process. You shouldn't have any say in the way society is run whatsoever. You're a barbarian. You're a lunatic. You're psychotic. You're deranged. I mean, your. Your opinion is not valid. You know, every opinion is valid. No, it's not like there are opinions that are just not valid, not worthy of discussion. It's why we need to have a system in place for filtering out the dumbest, most useless, most deranged people from being able to vote. I know it's never going to happen, but at a certain point, you know, do we want to have a country or not? Because if people like this are able to help steal the ship, steer the ship, then we're just not going to have a country, which is what they want. And these are people who don't want us to have a country. And we have this idea that, you know, everyone's voice should be heard. Every point of view should be included. No, you know, not the voice that says, maybe we shouldn't have prisons. Maybe we should just let the rapists out on the street. What do you say, guys? That is not a point of view. That calls for you to sit down and say, that's a. Okay, let's talk about that. Okay, let's have a debate. If somebody comes and said, hey, maybe we should all take knives and stab them into our own heads. What if we all just stabbed ourselves in the heads together? Are you going to sit down and say, look, have a debate. I'm on the. Don't stab ourselves in the head. And you're on the. We should do it. Let's sit down and have this out. Let's, you know, I get 10 minutes for an opening statement. You get 10 minutes. Let's have a debate. Let's do it. No, somebody says that you'll. And you say, okay, well, you're not like, you should stop talking. You shouldn't be able to vote. You shouldn't have any say over anything. You shouldn't be able to drive. You're not fit to be a part of human society. Someone has a point of view like that. Yeah, all you like. You literally just shout them off the stage. Like, get out of here. We're not. What are you. You're insane. And that is so much of leftism. It's just utterly insane, poisonous ideas that are expressly intended to destroy civilization. I mean, that's what they want to do and we all have to sit around taking them seriously. This episode is sponsored by Leaffilter. Leaffilter isn't just another gutter guard.

Eli Lilly Ad Actor
Come on, let's hear it. You think I need your advice? You think I should go on a diet? I've been dieting since I was 12. You think I need to hear about your workout routine? You don't stop to ask about mine. No matter what I do, you're gonna have your own thoughts, so get it all out. And while you're in the comment section, I'll be focusing on what really matters, like how I feel when I'm waking up in the morning, like, showing up for people I love. My health is my focus, and my body is nobody's business but mine.
- [58:06]
Matt Walsh
My body's nobody's business but mine, he says, which is why. Which is why he's making, you know, an advertisement talking about his body. And this, of course, is a big pharma ad. So the point is to get you to buy their weight loss drug. It's posing as a kind of body positivity message, but really they don't want you to be positive about your body. They want you to take the drug. So it's not even really about body acceptance, as dumb as that idea is. There's another thing that leftism has us wasting time debating. Is it good to be fat? Should people be fat? Is it better to not be fat? As opposed to being fat is another thing. That's. That's another one we're supposed to be debating. Let's have a healthy debate. Let's have an exchange of ideas. Is it. Should it? This person is 400 pounds morbidly obese. Is that bad? Is that a bad thing? Gotta hear all. All views are valid. Gotta listen to everybody. Anyway, it's so the. It's. This is also just, you know, it's just more lies. Look, I don't think that fat people are inherently dishonest or anything, but our. Our culture has encouraged fat people to be liars. They're not saying they all are. I'm saying if you're fat, you're a liar. But the problem is that culture encourages. Encourages fat people to lie to themselves and to everybody else all the time. And that's. That's all this ad is, right? It's all the lies we always hear. He says, you think I should go on a diet. Well, I've been dieting since I was 12. No, you haven't. No, you haven't, bud. You're a Liar. Stop lying. Okay? You obviously one of your. One of your. We all are sinners. None of us all. We all fall short. But one of your sins you are wearing on your body in the form of all the lard you struggle with. The sin of gluttony. Okay? You don't need to add the sin of lying on top of it. You're a liar. Every and every. Like so many fat people do this. They say, I've been dieting my whole life. No, you haven't. No, you haven't. Stop lying. You are a liar. Stop it and you know it. Every fat person who claims they diet all the time and the diets don't work. I tried dieting, and it doesn't. What do you mean it doesn't work? You're a liar, okay? There's no such thing really, as a diet not working. Unless. Unless your. Your idea of dieting is to strictly consume candy and soda, okay? If you have. If you're on the Will Ferrell diet from elf, then, okay, if that's not going to work in the sense of. It's not going to make you skinnier, but if you're on an actual diet where you consume fewer calories than you burn, then. Then there's no way you could be on that kind of diet for, like, 20 years and still be enormously fat. I. I've been burning more calories than I've consumed for 20 years, and somehow I haven't lost a pound. In fact, I've only gained a hundred pounds. It's not possible. It defies the laws of physics, so stop it. It's not true. And yet we tolerate these lies. You have fat people going around saying, I don't know what's going on. I've tried every diet under the sun, and I've tried exercising, and it just doesn't work. But there's. It doesn't. What do you mean it doesn't. It's not possible that it doesn't work? What are you, a cartoon character? Are you claiming the laws of physics don't apply to you? What's next? Are you gonna run out? Like in the cartoon? You run out across the cliff and you don't fall until you notice that you're walking on air? Is it like your Bugs Bunny? You. You run out, you're running on thin air, and then somebody taps you on the shoulder and goes, look down. And then you look, and then you fall? Is that. Is that also what's happening to you? Physics just doesn't work. I don't know, gravity doesn't work for me. I don't know what to say. No, you, you, maybe for 20 years you've dieted for like a day at a time and then you stop or you diet for a week and you stop and that maybe you've done that. You have not been dieting that whole time, obviously. And every single person who's not fat, it's like you can look at someone. I'm not fat. I'm not saying I'm the, the perfect picture of, of fitness, but I'm not fat. And do you know how that it's not sound like dumb luck. I'm almost 40. I'm not fat. I could be fat at this point. Well, you know, I get a fair amount of exercise and that's how, that's how I'm not fat. My diet is not great, but I have to compensate for that. Could be better. I'm certainly not going to claim that I have the best diet in the world. It's not the worst, definitely not the best, but I compensate for that. I work out quite a bit. And so I've kind of like, you know, it is what it is. And you could, you could do that, but you don't want to because it takes effort. I don't want to do it. I'm not one of these people that, you know, they, they just love working out their favorite thing and they could be in the gym for three hours a day if you let them. I'm not that I don't really enjoy it. It kind of sucks. It's. I'd much rather not be doing it because it's, it's just, I'm busy and I got a lot of kids and life and all these kinds of things. Like, rarely do I find myself just lounging on the couch or something and then I say to myself, you know what I'd love to do right now? I'd love. This would be a lot of fun. No, but I do it because I don't want to be an enormous lard ass. And that's life. If you want something, you have to put in some effort to achieve it. And if you have not achieved this thing, especially something that is very, very easily, very possibly achievable for everybody, it's because you haven't put in the effort. And it really is that simple. And I'm not trying to be rude. I wouldn't be saying any of this if not for the lies. I just can't take the lies anymore. It's not. I'm not I have no desire to run up to fat people and, and say, hey, you're lazy and you eat too much. Even though that does apply to literally 100 of fat people. If you're fat, it's because you're lazy and you eat too much. That's how that happens. But I'm not going to go around saying that I have no desire to be mean to people unless they deserve it. But once you start lying, that's what I can't. I don't like liars. I don't like the lies. And. And then when we start hearing the lies, especially in this self, like in the ad, it's very self righteous. It's got this scolding, this scolding, self righteous tone from this fat guy wagging his finger. When that happens, then I feel like, well, if you're an honest person, you have no choice but to go up to him and say, no, you're lazy and you eat too much. Okay? That's it. So at least you want to be fat. You can be fat. It's not the worst thing in the world to be. I get it. But at least be honest. I'd have respect for that. I'd ever. I'd have some respect for an honest fat person. It's like, look, this is what I look like. I'm a fat slob. It is what it is. I'm kind of lazy. I just don't. I put in effort other places in my life, but this, I just don't put in the effort. And here's what I look like because of it. I'd respect that. I respect the honesty. It's the lies that I cannot, cannot tolerate. And we will leave it there for today. Thanks for watching. Thanks for listening. Talk to you tomorrow. Have a great day. Godspeed.
