Main Discussion Sections

1. Zohran Mamdani’s Rocky First Month as NYC Mayor

Setting the Scene (00:49)

• Walsh highlights that Mamdani, a “Muslim socialist from Uganda,” was supposed to be a revolutionary leader, but within a month, NYC is already “falling apart.”
• Quote:

  “The whole point was that he'd be a revolutionary. He'd take quick, decisive action to replace the frigidity of rugged individualism with the warmth of collectivism.” (01:10, Matt Walsh)

Unmet Campaign Promises & Early Controversies

• Mamdani’s campaign promised dramatic reforms, especially free bus fares and major changes to NYPD oversight, but none have materialized.
• Instead, public anger mounts:
  • His mother’s name appears in Epstein files (“they’re not happy with his mother’s appearance in the Epstein file”—01:29).
  • Protesters gather outside Mamdani’s home, expressing betrayal over failed promises (02:04-02:22).

Failures in City Management

• Buses aren’t free; fares have increased by 10 cents, and the Trump administration threatens federal funding cuts (03:38).
• Public services are deteriorating:
  • Trash piles up post-snowstorm; the city is derided as “the city that never sweeps” (06:11).
  • Residents complain:

    “It’s the most vile thing. I think it’s the worst in New York history.” (06:30, quoting Josh Tepper) “It’s very dirty. It’s a little embarrassing.” (06:44, Upper East Side resident)

• Instead of addressing these issues, Mamdani’s “big idea” is opening the Dinkins Municipal Building rooftop for public sightseeing (07:11–08:13).

Criticism of Symbolism Over Substance

• Walsh ridicules Mamdani’s influencer-like performance and “word salad” announcements, arguing he’s more interested in “shooting influencer videos” than governing (08:13–08:30).
• Dinkins Building symbolism:
  • Matt links it to David Dinkins’ tenure, which saw a huge rise in New York murders:

    “That’s how extraordinarily, uniquely incompetent he was.” (09:28, Matt Walsh)

---

2. Linking Policy Changes to Real-World Harm

The Homeless Encampment Policy (10:50–18:13)

• Mamdani bans NYPD from dismantling homeless encampments, a reversal from Eric Adams’ policy.
• Eric Adams warns this will create a “quality of life nightmare” (11:16–12:23).
• Walsh argues old-school Democrats had common sense; current progressives do not.
• “Sixteen of our fellow New Yorkers have passed away outside during this brutal stretch of cold.” (17:18, Mamdani press conference)
• Walsh blames Mamdani directly:

  “Mamdani is responsible for every single one of these deaths. That is not hyperbole, and he doesn’t care.” (18:31, Matt Walsh)

NGOs and Political Incentives

• Walsh claims Mamdani and the left intentionally avoid solving problems to maintain funding flows to nonprofits (19:02–19:34).

Policing and Public Safety (19:41–25:26)

• An emotionally disturbed man, Jabez Chakraborty, is shot by police after charging them with a knife. Mamdani responds by suggesting police shouldn’t be sent to such calls—mental health professionals should be.
• Walsh insists this is absurd, arguing for the necessity of law enforcement in dangerous situations, and lampoons Mamdani's evasive answer at a press conference (24:00–25:01).

  “If you send a community safety advocate and the person pulls a knife and charges at them, what then?...Well, I guess that person just dies, then. I don’t give a [expletive].” (25:23, Matt Walsh)

---

3. Culture War Flashpoints

The Shaboozey Grammy Speech Controversy (30:50–36:00)

• Shaboozey, a Grammy-winning artist, says in his acceptance speech, “Immigrants built this country.” Leftist backlash ensues for failing to mention Black Americans.

  “Immigrants built this country. Literally. So this is for them, for all children of immigrants.” (31:38, Shaboozey’s speech)

• Shaboozey issues a clarifying statement:

  “To be clear, I know and believe that we black people have also built this country. My words were never intended to dismiss that truth...” (34:28, Statement)

• Walsh mocks the controversy, arguing the left’s version of American history erases the contributions of whites and distorts facts:

  “The only people who didn’t build America are the people who built America.” (36:48, Matt Walsh)

• He challenges listeners to name 26 non-white people among the 50 most influential Americans (39:09–41:24).

---

Disdain for Progressive Ignorance: Viral TikTok About ICE (43:33–50:50)

• Walsh ridicules a viral post in which a heavily-pierced woman contemplates a murder-suicide if ICE comes to her door, displaying ignorance about what ICE actually does.

  “These people don’t know anything. This is what you have to—they actually don’t know what ICE is or what it even does.” (46:25, Matt Walsh)

• He suggests people this ignorant or visibly unstable should not be allowed to vote:

  “Anybody with that many facial piercings should be assumed incompetent and should lose the right to vote or to participate in society in any other capacity. And I am so deadly serious when I say that.” (50:16, Matt Walsh)

• Walsh further riffs on the analogy of trusting such a person as an airline pilot (51:19).

---

4. Advice for Young Men: Learning from Conservative Influencer Scandals (54:05–68:10)

Context: A New Scandal

• A conservative influencer, Elijah Schaefer, is embroiled in a divorce and alleged affair scandal; Walsh uses this as a backdrop to his message.

Finding Happiness as a Man (58:40–68:10)

• Walsh lays out his formula for a man’s fulfillment:

  1. Faith or sense of ultimate purpose
  2. Family (wife and children)
  3. Professional vocation that matters to him

• Quote:

  “If you have a faith, you have a family, if you have a job you care about, you have a vocation—well, now grow. Grow in faith, grow in your love and devotion to your family, grow in your career. And that’s all you need for a happy life. And then don't [mess] it up.” (60:13, Matt Walsh)

• Strong caution against seeking excitement outside one’s family and career:

  “Never take any risks in your personal life... that thing you have, your loving family, that is the one thing that you never put on the line.” (68:10, Matt Walsh)

Differentiating Excitement in Life

• Pursue “mountains to climb” professionally or through meaningful goals, not through drama in one’s personal life (62:39–66:36).
• Stable, loving, predictable home life is the ideal reward for a man.

Memorable Moment

• Matt on Professional vs. Personal Excitement:

  “You want a personal life that is peaceful and quiet and stable and reliable. And you know what you’re going to get with people you know and people you trust.” (65:09, Matt Walsh)

Closing Sermon

• Find, build, and fiercely protect faith, family, and vocation—once achieved, “guard it with your life.” (67:54–69:23)

---

Notable Quotes & Timestamps

• On Mamdani’s early failures:

  “They elected a theater kid... who promised to burn everything down and completely transform New York City. A month later, they realize he’s a fraudster who has no idea what he’s doing.” (03:13, Matt Walsh)

• On the left’s agenda:

  “Solving any problem cuts off funding to Democrat activists. So he doesn’t want to solve any problem. He wants them all to get worse.” (19:02, Matt Walsh)

• On the Grammy controversy:

  “In their fantasy land, this country was built by two groups: Black people and non-white immigrants... The only people who did not build America are white people of European ancestry.” (36:11 & 36:48, Matt Walsh)

• On viral TikTok outrage:

  “If you show up to the voting booth looking like that, you should not be allowed to vote and you should be stripped of... you should be disenfranchised. Like you are not a stable person.” (50:36, Matt Walsh)

• Advice to men:

  “Your personal life should be one of peace and contentment and quiet... You want a personal life that is peaceful and quiet and stable and reliable.” (65:07–65:09, Matt Walsh)

---

Key Takeaways

• Walsh remains unwaveringly critical of progressive leadership (esp. Mamdani), linking leftist policies directly to misery, chaos, and even death.
• He positions himself as a defender of “basic reality,” often challenging listeners and adversaries to confront uncomfortable truths, historical or otherwise.
• The episode closes with a personal appeal to men to focus on faith, family, and worthwhile work, portraying contentment at home as the ultimate bulwark against society’s dysfunction and temptation.

Final Notes

Matt Walsh’s branded blend of sardonic humor, social criticism, and direct confrontation of progressive ideas is on full display. This episode functions as both a political commentary and a polemical sermon aimed at young men. Walsh’s messaging is clear: progressive experiments in “real-world” governance fail with existential consequences, and personal virtue, rooted in faith and family, is the antidote to both societal and personal collapse.

Transcript

[Matt Walsh]

Today, the Matt Walsh Show. New York City is already falling apart.

[Matt Walsh's Co-host]

And people are dying by the dozens. After just one month of Zoran Mamdani.

[Matt Walsh]

How bad are things going to get?

[Matt Walsh's Co-host]

Do we even want to find out?

[Matt Walsh]

Also, why are leftists furious at the singer Shabuzzi for saying that immigrants built the country? And I have some words of advice.

[Matt Walsh's Co-host]

For young men in the light of another lurid conservative influencer scandal.

[Matt Walsh]

We'll talk about all that and more.

[Matt Walsh's Co-host]

Today on the Matt Wa.

[Matt Walsh]

It's been a little over a month.

[Matt Walsh's Co-host]

Since a Muslim socialist from Uganda named Zoran Mamdani became the mayor of the largest city in the United States.

[Matt Walsh]

And while a month isn't a lot.

[Matt Walsh's Co-host]

Of time in a normal administration, you.

[Matt Walsh]

Have to wonder if what the city's many democratic socialists think about the progress.

[Matt Walsh's Co-host]

So far, or lack thereof.

[Matt Walsh]

After all, Mamdani wasn't supposed to be.

[Matt Walsh's Co-host]

Like any other mayor.

[Matt Walsh]

The whole point was that he'd be a revolutionary. He'd take quick, decisive action to replace the frigidity of rugged individualism with the warmth of collectivism.

[Matt Walsh's Co-host]

As we remember the now infamous quote.

[Matt Walsh]

He would disregard the rule of law, tax all the rich people, make everything cost $0 magically. Well, unfortunately for Mamdani, it looks like locals are getting a little, little restless. They're not. Not happy with his mother's appearance in the Epstein file.

[Matt Walsh's Co-host]

She was mentioned by Epstein's assistant who said that she attended an after party for a film at Ghislaine Maxwell's house.

[Matt Walsh]

And they're also angry that Mamdani hasn't shifted oversight of the police department to a civilian board called ccrb, which he promised to do as a way of.

[Matt Walsh's Co-host]

Dismantling the police force and terminating more police officers.

[Matt Walsh]

So for those reasons, the other day.

[Matt Walsh's Co-host]

A mob gathered outside of Mom Donnie's house.

[Matt Walsh]

Already watch.

[Protester]

That's right. We know about your mom. Now, listen, we was with you, so we voted for you, so we advocated for you. So, Ryan, we advocated for you. You ain't getting up and get up in there and lie to us. You lies over our sins. Sir Ron.

[Matt Walsh]

Shame, shame, shame. Well, it did take long.

[Matt Walsh's Co-host]

That's one of the problems with running on a platform to, like, solve everybody's problems.

[Matt Walsh]

No problem too big or too small, make everything free. Well, you get elected and like 90 seconds later, everyone's saying, hey, why. Why does. Why do things still cost money? Why do I still have problems? What's going on here? I mean, when you run pretending to be a genie in a lamp that can grant unlimited wishes this is what you get. So they elected a theater kid, supposedly from the middle of nowhere, who promised.

[Matt Walsh's Co-host]

To burn everything down and completely transform New York City.

[Matt Walsh]

A month later, they realize he's a fraudster who has no idea what he's.

[Matt Walsh's Co-host]

Doing and that his life story is.

[Matt Walsh]

A lot less storybook than they had been told. You see, when these people heard Mamdani's.

[Matt Walsh's Co-host]

You know, Mamdani, reading the speechwriter's line.

[Matt Walsh]

About the Mexican abuelas and Yemeni bodega.

[Matt Walsh's Co-host]

Owners and Uzbek nurses and Ethiopian aunties.

[Matt Walsh]

They were under the impression that Mamdani had something in common with the working class.

[Matt Walsh's Co-host]

And now they're finding out that while.

[Matt Walsh]

The Yemeni bodega owners and Trinidadian pimps were earning a living the hard way in the Bronx, Mom Donnie's mother was getting name dropped by Epstein's publicist. That's gotta be. That's gotta be a tough, confusing realization. And it gets worse when you realize that the buses still aren't free. Madani hasn't even done that yet. The whole point of his campaign was to enable every hobo and drug dealer and psychotic murderer to hop aboard a bus anytime they wanted. And yet the buses still cost money. In fact, bus fares have increased since Mamdani took office by around 10 cents. Now, the Trump administration says that they're thinking about cutting federal funding to New York if they don't change fares as part of a new transportation bill. So all of a sudden, what seemed to be a very simple, straightforward proposal is turning out to be a lot more complicated. And from the moment Mamdani was elected, that has raised some questions for New Yorkers. Watch. Excuse me, sir.

[Matt Walsh's Co-host]

I have a question.

[Bus Driver]

So I saw on the bus, it said like. And I see the sign that says fares required. I thought the buses are supposed to be free now because, like, mom, Donnie just won. When does that start? Never gonna happen. All right, well, I want to say I appreciate what you do, my guys.

[Matt Walsh's Co-host]

All right.

[Bus Driver]

Have a good one, my guy. Listen, you are the heart and soul, the backbone, the of New York.

[Eric Adams]

Stay safe.

[Bus Driver]

I don't care if you come off a free W man.

[Matt Walsh]

Thank you, bro.

[Bus Driver]

Have a good one.

[Protester]

I've been doing free buses before.

[Matt Walsh]

Mondavi.

[Matt Walsh's Co-host]

I'm the man. Yes, sir.

[Zoran Mamdani]

All right.

[Bus Driver]

You gotta run for the next election. I'll vote for you. Have a good one.

[Matt Walsh]

You know, it's almost like the bus.

[Matt Walsh's Co-host]

Driver, who has an actual job and familiarity with the mass transit system, knows.

[Matt Walsh]

Something that the socialists don't. It's almost like he knows that these free buses, if they were ever actually offered, would inevitably transform into rolling crack houses.

[Matt Walsh's Co-host]

It can't go any other way.

[Matt Walsh]

But if you look at the comments on that video, everyone insists that the free buses will indeed arrive. And these will be magic buses, like the magic school bus. They'll be the first mass transit service ever invented in a diverse city that will serve millions of people with no cost and no overcrowding and no overdoses and no random stabbings. But again, the buses still haven't arrived, which has led to some uncomfortable questions about what exactly Mamdani is doing. He certainly doesn't seem to be attending to any of his day to day duties. More than a week after a major snowstorm, trash is piling up everywhere. Here's just some of the images of what that looks like. As you can see here, it's like the 1970s all over again. There's so much garbage at the Post. In one of its better headlines lately, I have to say, is calling in New York the city that never sweeps. And the residents who spoke to the Post aren't especially amused by what they're seeing.

[Matt Walsh's Co-host]

One man, a native Yorker named Josh.

[Matt Walsh]

Tepper, said, quote, it's the most vile thing. I think it's the worst in New York history. He said Gracie Mansion, where Mamdani lives, looks clean and trash free, while the.

[Matt Walsh's Co-host]

Rest of the city is a complete disaster. Another man living on the Upper east.

[Matt Walsh]

Side stated that, quote, it's very dirty. It's a little embarrassing. And a third man stated that the situation was very concerning because recycling hadn't been picked up for nearly a week. Meanwhile, the snow is piling up and the bus is still aren't running on time. And yet, faced with mobs at the gates and trash piling up in the streets, Mamdani has not convened an emergency.

[Matt Walsh's Co-host]

Meeting with his many emotionally unstable advisors. He hasn't explained where the garbage trucks are.

[Matt Walsh]

Instead, Mavdani's latest proposal is to enable New Yorkers to sightsee from the observation deck of a tall municipal building in Manhattan. That is his big idea.

[Matt Walsh's Co-host]

That's gonna solve everything.

[Matt Walsh]

Watch.

[Zoran Mamdani (Press Conference)]

I'm here at the top of the David Dinkins Municipal Building. This is one of the most magnificent government buildings in the world. As we begin to celebrate Black History Month, it felt fitting to honor the legacy of our city's first black mayor right here. From up here, you can see everything from MetLife Stadium to all the way to Bushwick. This building belongs to the people of this city. But for too long, most New Yorkers have been shut out of it. That's coming to an end. We're opening the rooftop of the Dinkins Municipal Building to the public. Starting this June, the city will offer guided tours of this extraordinary civic landmark. You'll be able to reserve free tickets online and go up in small groups.

[Matt Walsh]

Everything from the way that video is.

[Matt Walsh's Co-host]

Shot to what he's saying makes it abundantly clear that New Yorkers elected a third rate influencer. He's not going to honor his campaign promises or pick up the trash, but.

[Matt Walsh]

On the bright side, he'll let you stand on the top of this ugly.

[Matt Walsh's Co-host]

Building and look at all the other ugly buildings.

[Matt Walsh]

And so when you go to him and say, hey, there's trash in the.

[Matt Walsh's Co-host]

Street and the buses aren't running on time, can you take care of that?

[Matt Walsh]

Well, no, but do you want to go. You see that big building? Do you want to go to the top of that building and look out? Do you? He's like treating New Yorkers like children.

[Matt Walsh's Co-host]

You know, like we have a toddler having a tantrum.

[Matt Walsh]

You redirect. They're upset about, oh, they want a snack. Oh, we're not doing a snack. Do you want a color? I want a cookie. Well, we're not doing cookies, but here's do you want a color? In his coloring book.

[Matt Walsh's Co-host]

That's what Mom Donnie is doing with the residents of the city.

[Matt Walsh]

And just for good measure, the building is named after David Dinkins, who oversaw.

[Matt Walsh's Co-host]

The biggest rise in New York's murder rate in roughly a century. The city had nearly 2,000 murders in his final year in office, compared to around 350 in the last year.

[Matt Walsh]

See there you take a look at this chart. The high point of the chart on.

[Matt Walsh's Co-host]

The far left is when Dinkins was mayor.

[Matt Walsh]

That's how extraordinarily, uniquely incompetent he was. Dinkins would say things like, if we had a police officer in every other corner, we couldn't stop some of the random violence that goes on. So he just allowed the violence to continue, including a lot of ethnic and racial violence. The city lost hundreds of thousands of jobs. He increased taxes to unsustainable levels. And then Giuliani took over, reversed all of Dinkins policies and arrested criminals and the city immediately turned around. But in leftist mythology, even though Dinkins was a terrible mayor, he was actually great because he was black. They'll remove Teddy Roosevelt's statue because he was white and effective, but they'll honor Dinkins at every opportunity. Not despite the fact that he nearly destroyed New York, but because of that fact. And Mamdani plans to do exactly the same thing. He doesn't care if people die as a result of his policies. His only mission is to dismantle the.

[Matt Walsh's Co-host]

Nerve center of American capitalism, strip it.

[Matt Walsh]

For everything it's worth, and send our money overseas. And actually, Mamdani has already killed people.

[Matt Walsh's Co-host]

In New York City.

[Matt Walsh]

He's not doing much in office, but in those rare moments when he chooses to take decisive action, it's resulted in the deaths of actual humans already just one month into his term. So take a look at this video from last December. It was uploaded by the outgoing mayor, Eric Adams. And if you know anything about Eric Adams, you know that he's pretty checked.

[Matt Walsh's Co-host]

Out as far as ex mayors go.

[Matt Walsh]

But let's just say he certainly seems very happy to be a private citizen again. And in December, in his last days in office, Eric Adams felt compelled to speak up about Mamdani's plan to stop law enforcement from sweeping up homeless encampments during the winter and forcing the homeless into institutions. Well, he knew what would happen if Mamdani actually followed through.

[Eric Adams]

Listen, earlier today, Mayor Elect Zoran Mandani announced that once he takes office on January 1, he'll stop sweeping homeless encampments across our city. I won't criticize him on every issue, but when a policy harms New Yorkers, I have to speak up. Showing compassion for those sleeping on the streets is not a sweet, it is humane Ending this action will create a quality of life nightmare. Just look at cities that allow encampments and you'll see the damage worse. Leaving people to suffer in the cold isn't just neglectful, it's a disgrace. Throughout the last close to four years, I was adamant about cleaning those encampments because we cannot tolerate a city that turns a blind eye to human suffering. I urge the incoming administration to rethink this, and I urge New Yorkers to raise their voices.

[Matt Walsh's Co-host]

So this is a useful distinction, a useful illustration of the distinction between the old Democrats and the leftists who now control the party.

[Matt Walsh]

Now, the old Democrats were wrong, misguided and dangerous, but some of them still.

[Matt Walsh's Co-host]

Retained a semblance of understanding about human nature and cause and effect and basic common sense.

[Matt Walsh]

And those Democrats are now completely gone.

[Matt Walsh's Co-host]

They've been ousted.

[Matt Walsh]

Eric Adams, of course, was supportive of.

[Matt Walsh's Co-host]

Trump's immigration policy, which is why Biden's DOJ tried to throw him in prison.

[Matt Walsh]

You simply can't express any basic, fundamental understanding of human nature or common sense and remain a member of the party in good standing. So now there's no one left in the party who understands the truth or will acknowledge the truth about the homeless.

[Matt Walsh's Co-host]

Among many other things.

[Matt Walsh]

No one in the party understands or will acknowledge that someone doesn't become homeless without being highly dysfunctional as a human being. In order to become homeless, you are extremely dysfunctional, often dangerous person, dangerous to yourself and often those around you. In order to be homeless, you have to alienate every person in your life, including your family, which takes a lot of work. Every person who knows you in your life is not helping you anymore, which might mean, could mean that you're just.

[Matt Walsh's Co-host]

A victim and you happen to be.

[Matt Walsh]

Around all the worst people in the world. You have the worst family, the worst, more likely is that this is a dysfunctional, selfish, self destructive person who has alienated every single person they've ever known. And that's how they end up on the street. It's just, it's just the reality. And now they fail to achieve a basic level of self sufficiency. These are people who, for their safety and for the safety of the general public, should not be on the streets. And they shouldn't be placed in taxpayer provided apartment buildings or hotels either they should be jailed or they should be institutionalized. You remove them from the street forcefully and permanently. You say you're not allowed. This is not allowed. You cannot just turn our streets into an encampment. We are not going to let dysfunctional, drug addled, crazy people to set up camp wherever they want in the city. And you know, leftists will say, well.

[Matt Walsh's Co-host]

Not every homeless person is using drugs or committing crimes or psychotic.

[Matt Walsh]

It's just, you know, 99.9% of them. But even if that were true, it doesn't matter. In a functioning civilized society, public order matters. The sidewalks are for walking, the parks are for enjoying nature and fresh air. They're for families. Lobbies are where you go when you want to enter a building. And when homeless people stink up all those places and make them dangerous to be in for normal people, they degrade every aspect of civic life. They make everything worse for everybody in every way. They've also demonstrated they aren't really in charge of their own lives, which is why the government, which exists to protect the rights of its citizens, should assume agency over them. They cannot exercise agency over themselves. They are incapable of it. It's why they're on the street. If you're, by definition, if you're sleeping in a tent on the streets or on the sidewalk, you are not capable.

[Matt Walsh's Co-host]

Of exercising basic agency over your own life.

[Matt Walsh]

And so it should be taken from you. But Mamdani reversed the policy of Eric.

[Matt Walsh's Co-host]

Adams administration to get these people off the streets during the winter.

[Matt Walsh]

As the Post reported, quote, new York's new mayor, Zoran Mamdani, has barred the NYPD from closing down the ramshackle camps.

[Matt Walsh's Co-host]

That have been springing up in the neighborhoods across the five boroughs ever since he previewed his policy in December.

[Matt Walsh]

No matter how many neighborhood residents call 311 to report a new encampment, the NYPD is now powerless to deal with them. And even New York's strongest are barred from cleaning them up. The sanitation department has orders to remove garbage and human waste, but must leave mattresses, clothing, makeshift cardboard huts and other items intact. The direct result of the policy, as.

[Matt Walsh's Co-host]

Mamdani announced from the top of the.

[Matt Walsh]

Dinkins Building, is that more than a dozen New Yorkers are now dead. They froze to death because Mamdani didn't want to round them up on the theory that, you know, rounding of homeless people is inhumane. And so it's more humane to just let them freeze to death, which is a horrific way to die, by the way.

[Matt Walsh's Co-host]

Here's Mamdani with the announcement.

[Zoran Mamdani (Press Conference)]

A severe cold front continues to bear down on our city. Today is our 11th consecutive day of below freezing weather, and we could very well be in the middle of the longest period of consecutive sub 32 degree weather in our city's entire history. Without temperatures rising above freezing, snow has hardened into blocks of ice. But the greatest danger posed by this sustained cold is to vulnerable New Yorkers who remain exposed to the elements. As of this morning, 16 of our fellow New Yorkers have passed away outside during this brutal stretch of cold. In 13 of these cases, preliminary findings indicate that hypothermia played a role, and three of these deaths appear to be overdose deaths. We await final results from the medical examiner's office and, and we'll inform New Yorkers as we learn more. Each of these lives lost is a tragedy. My heart was with the family of those mourning their loved ones.

[Matt Walsh]

Now the. The dead homeless people range in ages.

[Matt Walsh's Co-host]

From mid-40s to 90. According to the Post. Many of them, as you heard, basically froze to death. So unfortunately, they won't be getting any free tickets to the Dinkins Building, where they could have observed the trash piles lining the city of New York, which is a real shame.

[Matt Walsh]

And actually it's a lot worse than that. Mamdani is responsible for every single one of these deaths. That is not hyperbole, and he doesn't care.

[Matt Walsh's Co-host]

In the slightest.

[Matt Walsh]

He's not going to change his policy. He's not even going to express regret. That's because Mavdani's goal, like the goal of every leftist who pretends to care about the homeless, is not to improve.

[Matt Walsh's Co-host]

Anyone'S life, whether they're homeless or not.

[Matt Walsh]

His goal is to funnel taxpayer money to left wing NGOs that claim they'll.

[Matt Walsh's Co-host]

Fix homelessness and then do absolutely nothing other than redirect some of that money back to Democrats.

[Matt Walsh]

Ending homelessness would cut off one of the major funding sources for Democrat activists. So he wants homelessness to continue. In fact, solving any problem cuts off funding to Democrat activists. So he doesn't want to solve any problem. He wants them all to get worse. In fact, he wants these people in the street at all times so that.

[Matt Walsh's Co-host]

He can justify more spending on fake left wing nonprofits.

[Matt Walsh]

And if a Hugh, if a few hobos die, he genuinely doesn't care. And make no mistake, many, many more.

[Matt Walsh's Co-host]

People will die as a direct result of Mamdani's policies.

[Matt Walsh]

It's true during all communist regimes.

[Matt Walsh's Co-host]

And it'll be the case in Mamdani's as well.

[Matt Walsh]

Consider the case of Jabez Kakraborty. He's 22 years old. He, his family called 911 about a.

[Matt Walsh's Co-host]

Month ago saying he was in emotional distress.

[Matt Walsh]

And when officers responded, Jabez produced a kitchen knife and charged at them. So the officers, acting in self defense, shot the guy, put him in the hospital. Clearly a justified shooting. Body camera makes all of that very.

[Matt Walsh's Co-host]

Clear, as we will demonstrate in a second.

[Matt Walsh]

But the family of the attacker has put out a statement saying they are shocked and outraged by the NYPD's action. Apparently the officers were just supposed to, you know, let themselves get stabbed to death. You know, if a crazy guy wants to stab you, it is your responsibility as a police officer to just die, let yourself be butchered so that this crazy person can live. That's the, that is the what they're being told. And for his part, Mamdani has decided to use this case to make an.

[Matt Walsh's Co-host]

Argument that in the future, the police.

[Matt Walsh]

Shouldn'T be dispatched to calls like this at all. He thinks a counselor or a mental health professional from the Department of Community Safety should go to the scene. So now Mamdani is visiting the attacker.

[Matt Walsh's Co-host]

And his family in the hospital and.

[Matt Walsh]

Implying that they're the victims.

[Matt Walsh's Co-host]

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

[Matt Walsh]

We'll play part of that press conference followed by a body camera footage of the shooting watch.

[Zoran Mamdani]

And as you said, I spoke with the chakraborty family and I visited Chavez in the hospital. And there is no family should have to endure this kind of pain.

[Protester]

Hey, put the knife down. Put the knife down. Put the knife down. Put the knife down. Put the knife down. Put the knife down. Put the knife down.

[Matt Walsh]

Well, it's the most open and shut clear cut case imaginable. The officer obviously did what they had to do. Actually, officers were like, they went yet again. The officers were more reluctant to shoot.

[Matt Walsh's Co-host]

Than they needed to be.

[Matt Walsh]

You can see the officer if you, if you were not watching the video, if you're listening to the audio podcast, he's being charged at, like, the guy has a knife, is charging at him. Very unambiguous. The officer retreats back into another room, shuts the door to give this guy another chance. And then when the guy opens that door and crosses that barrier and charges again, and this officer is now cornered, he's got nowhere else to go. He opens fire. If you're saying you should not have fired, should not have fired the gun, then what you are saying, it's not an exaggeration. What you are saying is that his responsibility as a police officer was just.

[Matt Walsh's Co-host]

To be stabbed to death. And that's insane.

[Matt Walsh]

That's an insane. Like, if that's your position, you are.

[Matt Walsh's Co-host]

As insane as the guy with the.

[Matt Walsh]

Knife and should be taken as seriously.

[Matt Walsh's Co-host]

As we take that guy.

[Matt Walsh]

But, you know, in the eyes of the left, they just lost a foot soldier. They've lost someone who could have stabbed an innocent woman to death on the train one day.

[Matt Walsh's Co-host]

And that really bothers them.

[Matt Walsh]

They stay up at night thinking of.

[Matt Walsh's Co-host]

Ways to allow more lunatics like this to go free.

[Matt Walsh]

That's why none of their policies make sense. At least if you're thinking like a.

[Matt Walsh's Co-host]

Rational person and you look at their.

[Matt Walsh]

Policies, you think, well, that doesn't make any sense. What do you mean? Why do you want that policy that's just going to make everything more dangerous and worse. Why would you want to do that? Well, what you don't understand is that when you say it makes everything more dangerous and worse, the left says, yeah, right, good. They're not trying to keep you safe.

[Matt Walsh's Co-host]

Their policy ideas are designed to make your city more dangerous and your life more miserable.

[Matt Walsh]

But one reporter tried to make sense of the policy anyway.

[Matt Walsh's Co-host]

After Ramdani was done speaking, the reporter.

[Matt Walsh]

Asked a pretty obvious question. If we're going to send emotional support counselors to visit emotionally disturbed people Instead of police, what happens when those emotionally disturbed people try to kill the person that you have sent? How exactly are we going to decide whether or not the police should be dispatched when we don't know whether the emotionally disturbed person poses a lethal threat or not? Well, Mamdani had no answer to that question.

[Matt Walsh's Co-host]

Watch.

[Reporter]

I know that you talk about the fact that the police can respond in these instances if there's a weapon, but in this case, there wasn't a knowledge that there would be a weapon. There was. The charges were that he was breaking glass, and at the last minute, when the cops came in, he pulled a knife out in the kitchen. So how do you determine when the police came? If the initial call doesn't say, he's got a gun, he's got. He's got a knife, what do you do? And then if it turns violent, if a person's there without the ability to stop him, what happens?

[Zoran Mamdani]

So I think there's. There's a few things to say here. One is a lot of this is exactly the focus of the conversations that we're having internally in developing out this department of Community Safety. Additionally, I want to make clear that a person experiencing a mental health episode does not always have to be served first or exclusively by a police officer. It is important for us to have all of the options available, and that's exactly what we're looking at.

[Matt Walsh]

So in other words, he has no answer to the question. If you send a community safety advocate and the person pulls a knife and charges at them, what then? Because, you know, the answer from the left is, well, the real answer is, I don't care. I mean, the real answer is, okay.

[Matt Walsh's Co-host]

Well, I guess that person just dies, then. I don't give a.

[Matt Walsh]

That's the real answer. They're not going to say that. So instead, their answer is always going to be something like, well, well, that should just not happen. What happens when the. When the social worker shows up and the crazy person pulls a knife?

[Zoran Mamdani (Press Conference)]

What?

[Matt Walsh]

Well, that. That shouldn't happen. Yeah, but it does happen. But it does. H. But it shouldn't. But it does. This is the disconnect when you're trying.

[Matt Walsh's Co-host]

To argue with the left about anything.

[Matt Walsh]

You can't get them into reality. The most they could do is say, well, this thing should be this way. But they're not, are they? What about in the real world, you morons? What about in the world we actually live in? What about there? What do we do in that world? Well, this is going to be a.

[Matt Walsh's Co-host]

Theme of the Mamdani administration and of every socialist administration like it.

[Matt Walsh]

Assuming he actually starts attempting to govern.

[Matt Walsh's Co-host]

Instead of shooting influencer videos with his.

[Matt Walsh]

Drones, we're going to see a lot more of this. They'll continue to advance leftist agenda items.

[Matt Walsh's Co-host]

That would be very popular in a classroom at NYU or the Soviet Union.

[Matt Walsh]

Even though these policies have no chance of success in the real world. And even as these agenda items result in human misery and death, they will.

[Matt Walsh's Co-host]

Continue to press on.

[Matt Walsh]

They'll just vomit out some word salad and continue as if nothing had happened. The death toll will rise week after week. People will get shanked on the free buses.

[Matt Walsh's Co-host]

Social workers will get stabbed and shot as they respond to calls that law enforcement should have handled.

[Matt Walsh]

Tourists will get pushed off the new observation deck on the ugly building in Manhattan. Homeless people will die in large numbers every winter. And they'll continue to attack New Yorkers, particularly white women. And in the meantime, if Mamdani's voters continue to feel buyer's remorse and if they decide to get too unruly, they're not going to be met with social workers. They'll be crushed by the full power of the state. So their only option is to retreat to the safety of their five thousand.

[Matt Walsh's Co-host]

Dollar a month one bedroom apartments and scroll blue sky as they wonder why exactly you know this guy's mother is in the Epstein files.

[Matt Walsh]

That is the rather bleak future that awaits New York. It's also the future that awaits the rest of this country unless we see New York as the gigantic warning sign that it is. Even Mamdani supporters are starting to realize that now.

[Matt Walsh's Co-host]

And the rest of us should pay.

[Matt Walsh]

Very close attention to what happens next in New York. We should also bear in mind that the winning strategy in the Cold War was containment. And in the same vein, we should do everything we can to contain democratic socialism to the hellhole that New York.

Well, I hate to mention the Grammys.

[Matt Walsh's Co-host]

Again, but I, I can't. You know, I, I can't control the news cycle. It is what it is and this.

[Matt Walsh]

Story is pretty funny.

[Matt Walsh's Co-host]

So bear with me. I think you'll enjoy this one.

[Matt Walsh]

So Shaboozi, which I'm pretty sure is.

[Matt Walsh's Co-host]

Not his Christian name.

[Matt Walsh]

I'm pretty sure that's not the name.

[Matt Walsh's Co-host]

That his parents gave him.

[Matt Walsh]

Although you never know. I mean it. You never know. So he, he won a.

[Matt Walsh's Co-host]

A Grammy on Sunday night for best country song or best Country Duet or something.

[Matt Walsh]

And he gave an Acceptance speech that you would think was very safe. A speech that's not really worth remarking on, a speech that you would think the left would warmly embrace. So if you. If you're not familiar with this fake controversy, listen to this. Just as quick clips, like 30 seconds. And from the, The. From the mentality of a leftist, what do you think the problem is here? Because it's not going to be immediately obvious. Listen.

[Shabuzzi]

And again, the last thing I want to say. Immigrants built this country. Literally.

[Matt Walsh]

Actually.

[Shabuzzi]

So this is for them, for all children of immigrants. This is also for those who came to this country in search of better opportunity to be a part of a nation that promised freedom for all and equal opportunities, opportunity to everyone willing to work for it. Thank you for bringing your culture, your music, your stories, and your traditions here. You give America color. I love y' all so much.

[Matt Walsh]

Thank you. Okay, so boilerplate, you know, generic liberal.

[Matt Walsh's Co-host]

PC bumper sticker stuff.

[Matt Walsh]

I don't even know why he needed to read it. Like, why did you have to write that down? This is the standard spiel. It's always funny when these people are like, well, I've written a. I've written a speech. You know, let me. Let me read my speech. And then it's all the most generic.

[Matt Walsh's Co-host]

Nonsense you've ever heard.

[Matt Walsh]

It's like, you couldn't just. Just say that you needed to read immigrants built this country. Immigrants are great. I love rainbows and unicorns. I like things that are happy. You. You couldn't just say that. You had. You had to write that down and read it. And so, you know, that's what you think. You think the left would be happy with that.

[Matt Walsh's Co-host]

And, you know, as for the right.

[Matt Walsh]

We don't really care what a.

[Matt Walsh's Co-host]

What a guy named Shabzi has to say, whether you know who he is or not.

[Matt Walsh]

Like, if. If you came to me and told.

[Matt Walsh's Co-host]

Me that someone said something, even if.

[Matt Walsh]

That thing was objectionable, and then I say, well, who said that? That's weird. Who said it? And you said, oh, a guy named Shabuzzi. Then I'm going to say, okay, well, whatever.

[Matt Walsh's Co-host]

That's.

[Matt Walsh]

A guy.

[Matt Walsh's Co-host]

Like a guy named Shabuzzi said that. Okay?

[Matt Walsh]

So you'd think that'd be the end of it, except that poor Shabuzzi had to issue a statement of clarification, an apology, basically, for that speech. And not because anybody on the right was upset. He had to apologize and clarify because of outrage on the left. Leftists were mad. Leftists were mad at this.

[Matt Walsh's Co-host]

They were.

[Matt Walsh]

They were mad at what you would think is just. I mean, it's pandering to them. What are you upset about from Shabuzzi's perspective? He's saying, what? Isn't this what you guys want me to say? I thought, isn't this what we're doing? We're all up here talking about ice is bad, immigrants are great, Kind of feel bad for Shabuzzi. Never thought I would say that I feel bad for Shabuzzi. But he's saying to himself, like, what do you. I bet when he heard from his publicist or whoever that, oh, you know, there's outrage. He's like, what? From who? Oh, all the liberals. On what? You're the one who gave me this thing to read. You said that this is what the liberals wanted me to say. So here's the. Here's the.

[Matt Walsh's Co-host]

The statement that he. He published or he put up on social media.

[Matt Walsh]

First and foremost, I want to express my deep gratitude to everyone who has.

[Matt Walsh's Co-host]

Supported and celebrated my journey as an artist.

[Matt Walsh]

I also want to acknowledge the conversation surrounding my acceptance speech. To be clear, I know and believe that we black people have also built this country. My words were never intended to dismiss that truth. I am both a black man and the son of Nigerian immigrants. And in the overwhelming moment of winning.

[Matt Walsh's Co-host]

My first Grammy, my focus was on honoring the sacrifices my parents made by.

[Matt Walsh]

Coming to this country to give me.

[Matt Walsh's Co-host]

And my siblings opportunities they never had.

[Matt Walsh]

At the same time, winning this award on the first day of Black History Month and becoming the first black man to win Best country duo is black history. It stands as a foundation laid by generations of black people who fought, sacrificed and succeeded long before me. This moment belongs to all of us. So that. So. So they were mad because he said immigrants built this country and didn't say that black people also built it. That's why he had to clarify. He should have said immigrants built this country and also black people. And he didn't say that. And so. And so that's what. That's why he had to issue a clarification. And needless to say, judging by the comments, the statement is still not enough.

[Matt Walsh's Co-host]

To assuage the anguish that he has.

[Matt Walsh]

Caused all of the. You know, if you read the comments from the. From black Twitter, it. The. The pain, the pain that has been caused by Shabuzzi not saying black people also built the country. The pain is just. It's. They'll never get. It's.

[Matt Walsh's Co-host]

It's.

[Matt Walsh]

This is not enough. This is not even close to enough. So this is the fantasy land.

[Matt Walsh's Co-host]

Speaking of these People living in fantasy lands. This is it. You know, in their fantasy land, this.

[Matt Walsh]

Country was built by two groups, Black people and non white immigrants. You know, he talks about his. Well, his parents came here from Nigeria. So I want to acknowledge the immigrants who built America, like my parents who came from Nigeria. How did your parents help build the country? Hey, Shabuzi, how exactly did your parents from Nigeria, how did any Nigerian immigrant.

[Matt Walsh's Co-host]

Help build the country? Can you explain that?

[Matt Walsh]

How did that happen? So the only people who didn't build.

[Matt Walsh's Co-host]

It in this bizarro version of American history are white people.

[Matt Walsh]

The only people who didn't build America are the people who built America. That's the dogma here. That's the fantasy you're expected to believe. The only people who did not build.

[Matt Walsh's Co-host]

America are white people.

[Matt Walsh]

Every other group, Nigerians built America. Somalians built America somehow. But. But the only people who didn't are white people of European ancestry.

[Matt Walsh's Co-host]

And, and just to be clear here, and I've been very clear on this many times, but the opposite is true. The opposite is true. This is a country that was predominantly built by white people. White people of European descent.

[Matt Walsh]

That is a, it's a historical fact. It doesn't matter if you don't like it. It doesn't matter if it hurts your feelings to hear it. It doesn't matter if it makes your tummy hurt. It's just historical reality.

[Matt Walsh's Co-host]

There are other countries in the world you can go, and in those countries.

[Matt Walsh]

You wouldn't give white people any credit. But, but this country is different, okay?

[Matt Walsh's Co-host]

And well, in fact, you would. I mean, a lot of other countries, a lot of the good things in those countries, you, you do give white people credit because of colonization, which introduced technology that they wouldn't otherwise have. But yeah, that's a separate conversation.

[Matt Walsh]

The point is this, this country is.

[Matt Walsh's Co-host]

Is, has its own history.

[Matt Walsh]

And in this country, white people of.

[Matt Walsh's Co-host]

European descent are predominantly the ones who built it.

[Matt Walsh]

Now, how can I say that? Well, because almost all of the pioneers.

[Matt Walsh's Co-host]

Settlers, colonists, founders, inventors, entrepreneurs and political leaders who made America, formed the country.

[Matt Walsh]

And turned it into a world power were white. Almost all. Almost all of them. I didn't say all, but almost all. Almost all the soldiers who fought and died in our wars, especially over the first 150 years, were white. I didn't say all, but almost all. Almost all the greatest and most influential Americans in history have been white. I would challenge anyone. This is my challenge to anyone who's.

[Matt Walsh's Co-host]

Going to clip this and call me a white supremacist. Oh, no, the first time I've heard that one.

[Matt Walsh]

Well, here's my challenge to you. You're not allowed to complain about anything.

[Matt Walsh's Co-host]

That I'm saying unless you're gonna, unless.

[Matt Walsh]

You'Re going to meet this challenge, which you should be able to do if.

[Matt Walsh's Co-host]

You disagree with my point, and that is this.

[Matt Walsh]

I want you to come up with a list of the 50 greatest Americans and come up with a list of.

[Matt Walsh's Co-host]

The 50 greatest Americans Amer Americans that isn't majority white.

[Matt Walsh]

So can you write down a list of the 50 greatest if, if you, if, if I'm wrong that white people predominantly built a country. Well, okay, then if that's the case, then it would seem to me that if you were to make a list of the, of, of, of the 50Americans who you can reasonably argue were the greatest and most influential on that list, at least 26 of them, a majority should be non white. Can you come up with 26 non white people who you could reasonably argue belong on the list of the 50.

[Matt Walsh's Co-host]

Greatest and most influential Americans in history?

[Matt Walsh]

Can you do that? I challenge anyone to do it. Please do it so we can all have a good laugh. Please show us your list. Do it so we can all see, like, which obviously more influential white people you had to leave off the list. Do it so that we could see that like you put Oprah Winfrey on the list, but Thomas Edison isn't or something like that. Go ahead.

[Matt Walsh's Co-host]

And, and if you were to expand the list to be the top figures in the history of the Americas, which is really what we're talking about, including colonial and pre colonial periods in the New World generally. If that's the, if, if, if we're.

[Matt Walsh]

Expanding it that far, then I think.

[Matt Walsh's Co-host]

A list of the top 50 would be exclusively white. I, I, or very nearly so. And, but, you know, anyone can step up to the plate and try to prove me wrong and say, no, that's, you're wrong here, you're wrong.

[Matt Walsh]

Here's a list. Here's 26 people.

[Matt Walsh's Co-host]

Not white and you know, are, are among the top 50 greatest, most influential Americans. I'd love to see it.

[Matt Walsh]

And yet, in spite of all this.

[Matt Walsh's Co-host]

Our country now is full of people who think that white people not only weren't the predominant builders of the country.

[Matt Walsh]

But didn't build it at all.

[Matt Walsh's Co-host]

I mean, it's, it is, it's just, it's lunacy. It is total lunacy. And this is what we're dealing with.

Speaking of lunacy in many ways, well, in many ways this not really worthy of a headline. But there, there is actually something important to glean from this video which I will play and which you will no doubt find deeply troubling and grotesque on multiple levels, both aesthetically and in terms of the content of what is being said.

[Matt Walsh]

So here's a Tik Tok video that's.

[Matt Walsh's Co-host]

Gone viral where a woman with a lot of facial piercings, and that's an understatement, explains what she will do if ICE ever comes knocking on her door.

[Woman with facial piercings]

Listen, I really pray it doesn't get bad enough, but being a mom in America, I had to stop walking for this. I often think that if it gets to the point of knocking on doors, God and like to even have these thoughts. It's like I'm literally separating from reality right now. If it comes down to me taking out myself and my kids versus us being taken and harmed by ice, like, God help me, I did not want to do it. This is not the life I wanted. But that is a very dark thought that I've had. Death would be a easier out than for my children to be taken and harmed by these pedophiles.

[Matt Walsh]

Okay, so this woman who by my.

[Matt Walsh's Co-host]

Account has approximately 8 billion facial piercings, says that.

[Matt Walsh]

I mean, she's pierced part of her.

[Matt Walsh's Co-host]

Parts of her face that I didn't even know you could pierce.

[Matt Walsh]

I guess you could pierce any part of your body, I suppose, but it's.

[Matt Walsh's Co-host]

Like random piercings just like on her forehead and her cheek. It's like.

[Matt Walsh]

But anyway, she. She says that she will take out herself and her kids, I. E. Commit.

[Matt Walsh's Co-host]

A murder suicide if ICE ever comes knocking on her door.

[Matt Walsh]

In spite of the fact that she is pretty clearly and tragically an American citizen. I mean, she's pretty clearly.

[Matt Walsh's Co-host]

This is an American citizen. She's was almost certainly born here and for all we know, has been here for generations and is a legal citizen. Sadly, as much as I would like.

[Matt Walsh]

To think that she's not, so ICE would have no reason to ever come for her. There is, however, now reason for the.

[Matt Walsh's Co-host]

FBI and local law enforcement and certainly CPS to come, which they must.

[Matt Walsh]

That's.

[Matt Walsh's Co-host]

I'm not saying that as a joke or as a bit or something. CPS needs to step in. I mean, these children are in danger. That's.

[Matt Walsh]

That's the first thing.

[Matt Walsh's Co-host]

These children are in very real danger. And so if that doesn't get your kids taken away permanently, then I don't know what does.

[Matt Walsh]

But the other thing we glean from.

[Matt Walsh's Co-host]

This is that, you know, aside from the fact that, as has been observed so many times, liberalism is a mental disorder. Truly is. These people are deranged, they're unwell.

[Matt Walsh]

But aside from that, the level of.

[Matt Walsh's Co-host]

Ignorance that we're dealing with, not just stupidity, although there's plenty of that, but ignorance.

[Matt Walsh]

Like, these people don't know anything. This is what you have to. They actually don't know what ICE is or what it even does. They're out there in the streets protesting, and they're making these TikTok videos constantly.

[Matt Walsh's Co-host]

And they're freaking out about it.

[Matt Walsh]

They don't even know what ICE is. If you were to stop a random.

[Matt Walsh's Co-host]

Protester on the street and ask them.

[Matt Walsh]

What are you out here for? Oh, down with ICE what is ice? It's. They. They're. They're bad. They do bad things. They do bad things. They're. I mean, they're genuinely clueless. So much of the outrage over ICE is comprised of people who sincerely have no idea what it even is. They think that it's some random federal agency that comes. Comes and kidnaps random American Citizens for no reason. They think that ICE is a. Is the kidnapping agency. ICE stands for like. What do they think ICE stands for? What. What does she think ice? ICE stands for Like. I don't. I can't even. I'll capture everyone? Is that what they think ICE stands for? I'll capture everyone? So when someone shows up and says they're with ice, they're saying they're going to capture everyone. I mean, maybe they think it stands for I'll kidnap everyone, but they think that's. That kidnap starts with a C, who knows? But this is what they. I mean, these people are.

[Matt Walsh's Co-host]

Are stupid beyond all recognition.

[Matt Walsh]

At least that's true of the cattle, of the sheep out on the street.

[Matt Walsh's Co-host]

And making these tick tock videos.

[Matt Walsh]

People driving all this, they know better.

[Matt Walsh's Co-host]

You know, they're taking advantage of the ignorance of their foot soldiers. Evil forces in society are manipulating these idiots with the most ridiculous lies imaginable.

[Matt Walsh]

Which isn't to excuse the sheep, not at all. It's just to point out how this works.

[Matt Walsh's Co-host]

This is not an excuse. It's your responsibility as an American citizen to not be this stupid and ignorant.

[Matt Walsh]

But. But this is how it works.

[Matt Walsh's Co-host]

And this is how unbelievably clueless these morons actually are.

[Matt Walsh]

Now, the thing that's working in our favor, the thing preventing these people from.

[Matt Walsh's Co-host]

Acting out even more drastically than they.

[Matt Walsh]

Already are, the thing, frankly, that will.

[Matt Walsh's Co-host]

Hopefully save that woman's poor children, is.

[Matt Walsh]

That while they're stupid and ignorance and, you know, while these are people who are credulous, moronic dupes, they're also performative and fake and they're motivated most of.

[Matt Walsh's Co-host]

All by a desperate need for attention. You know, this woman threatened to annihilate her whole family.

[Matt Walsh]

For the sake of.

[Matt Walsh's Co-host]

Being dramatic on TikTok and getting attention.

[Matt Walsh]

Which is not to say the threats should not be taken seriously. They should. She should permanently lose custody of her children. But the, I guess we can say silver lining here is that in.

[Matt Walsh's Co-host]

In most cases, these people are. They're performative, theatrical, and, you know, that's why she really posted that. As, as demented as it is, she posted it purely for the comments and the clicks and the likes. She's threatening to commit murder, suicide against her entire family.

[Matt Walsh]

And she's doing it for attention.

[Matt Walsh's Co-host]

So, you know, that's the takeaway.

[Matt Walsh]

And the last takeaway here is that.

[Matt Walsh's Co-host]

Anybody with that many facial piercings should be assumed incompetent and should lose the right to vote or to participate in society in any other capacity. And I am so deadly serious when I say that. I'm not proposing that as a joke. I mean, it's never going to happen. But I sincerely believe if you show.

[Matt Walsh]

Up to the voting booth looking like.

[Matt Walsh's Co-host]

That, you should not be allowed to vote and you should be stripped of, you should be disenfranchised. Like you are not a stable person.

[Matt Walsh]

We just look at you. You're, you're unstable, you're incompetent and you're.

[Matt Walsh's Co-host]

Very dumb and you're self destructive.

[Matt Walsh]

You're, you're self destructive, you're harming yourself.

[Matt Walsh's Co-host]

On purpose and you're wearing it on your face.

[Matt Walsh]

We're going to let us sell, we're going to let a stupid, incompetent, self destructive person into the voting, but we're going to let them help determine the direction of the country. Let me ask you, if someone looking.

[Matt Walsh's Co-host]

Like that sat down in the captain's chair of the plane that you're about to, that's about to take off.

[Matt Walsh]

Would.

[Matt Walsh's Co-host]

You ever in a million years stay on that plane?

[Matt Walsh]

Would you ever in a million years.

[Matt Walsh's Co-host]

Stay on a plane?

[Matt Walsh]

If as you're boarding you, you glance into the cockpit and you see that, you see that, you see that pin cushion sitting there, you see the guy from what, Hellraiser sitting there, would you do anything but just immediately turn around? Well, I guess I'm not. Wherever I'm going, I guess I'm not going. Never mind. Sorry. Not coming home for Christmas. I'm not. Nope. So we never would. And yet we're going to let that.

[Matt Walsh's Co-host]

Person help steer the plane of the whole country. That doesn't make any sense to me.

[Matt Walsh]

Looking good shouldn't feel like a chore.

[Matt Walsh's Co-host]

Which is why our sponsor Mizzen and Main revolutionized menswear over a decade ago when they invented the performance fabric dress shirt. It has only gotten better since then.

[Matt Walsh]

These aren't your grandfather's stiff, sweaty button.

[Matt Walsh's Co-host]

Downs that need babysitting at the dry cleaner. We're talking stretch, stretchy, lightweight, moisture wicking, wrinkle resistant shirts and pants that you could toss in the washing machine and wear straight out of the dryer.

[Matt Walsh]

Whether you're stuck in back to back.

[Matt Walsh's Co-host]

Meetings, traveling for work or sneaking in nine holes, you'll actually feel comfortable while looking like you have your life together.

[Matt Walsh]

Plus, Mizzen Domain is veteran led and.

[Matt Walsh's Co-host]

Has year round military discounts and donations to veteran organizations so you can feel good about where your money's going.

[Matt Walsh]

Bottom line, it's the kind of timeless.

[Matt Walsh's Co-host]

Style that doesn't fall apart after three washes. Which is exactly why thousands of guys swear by Mizzen Domain when they want.

[Matt Walsh]

To look good without the hassle. Last thing I need are clothes that.

[Matt Walsh's Co-host]

Require a ton of effort when my days are already packed. I have an allergy to to ironing. For some reason, I just refuse to do it.

[Matt Walsh]

Well, with Mizzen and Main I can.

[Matt Walsh's Co-host]

Go throughout my day without attracting every wrinkle on the planet and I can just throw it on without having to iron anything.

[Matt Walsh]

Right now, Mizzen and Main is offering our listeners 20% off your first purchase at mizzenmain.com promo code walsh20 that's M spelled M I Z Z e n.

[Matt Walsh]

All right, so I wasn't sure if.

[Matt Walsh's Co-host]

I would comment on this and normally it's the kind of thing that I I don't comment on, but I do feel compelled to say a few things. So over on X right now we there's a new episode of right wing influencer soap opera happening. There's a new episode of Days of Our Lives, the, you know, right wing influencer edition.

[Matt Walsh]

And I'm not going to get into.

[Matt Walsh's Co-host]

All the embarrassing details. You can go find out about it yourself. It's all over the place. Just that, just a brief overview so you understand what is precipitating what I'm about to say. As the story goes, allegedly Elijah Schaer, who's a conservative podcaster and commentator influencer guy is now headed for a divorce and it was revealed that allegedly he had an affair with a woman named Sarah Stock, who's a conservative influencer, sort of recent, new to the scene kind of recent, and was herself in a relationship with a man that she eventually married but before she married and but was in relationship with the guy this trist was going on and I don't.

[Matt Walsh]

Know what's true or what isn't.

[Matt Walsh's Co-host]

I can't confirm anything. Obviously there are text messages and audio recordings which were posted by Milo Yiannopoulos. I don't know how he got him. And there are stories of alcohol and drugs on the part of Schaefer. Other laurid details affairs happening at cpac which part of the story you hear often with these soap operas of like conservative conferences turning into drug fueled orgies and, and all that.

[Matt Walsh]

So all that stuff is out there. It's all, it's all going viral.

[Matt Walsh's Co-host]

I'm not revealing anything that isn't plastered everywhere already. And I have nothing to say about the specifics because I don't know anything. I don't know these people. I've met Elijah a few times.

[Matt Walsh]

I think we did, I think we did Tim Pool's show to together one or two times.

[Matt Walsh's Co-host]

Sarah Stock, I've mentioned on the show once or twice. She did. She was in that clip of the Surrounded episode where I think she, she did a good job and, but never met her and I don't know her. Apparently she worked with Elijah or for him. He was her boss at, in this his conservative media company called the Rift.

[Matt Walsh]

It's all very sad.

[Matt Walsh's Co-host]

Feel bad for the families. I feel bad about the whole thing. I take no pleasure in any of it. I can't imagine how anybody would. Certainly not here to gloat or gossip. Pray for everybody involved. You know, I, I, I hope all the damaged lives can be repaired.

[Matt Walsh]

I just feel compelled to say a.

[Matt Walsh's Co-host]

Few things in the way of advice.

[Matt Walsh]

Or words of caution. And really it's just this because anytime.

[Matt Walsh's Co-host]

I see a married man whose life comes crumbling down because he was off having affairs and partying and doing all.

[Matt Walsh]

That kind of stuff, which, let's be honest, is pretty common. I mean, it's pretty common in general.

[Matt Walsh's Co-host]

It's pretty common in the business. In my business, there's a lot of that going on and a lot of it does happen at conservative conferences like CPAC and all those kinds of events.

[Matt Walsh]

That's why, that's why I don't have.

[Matt Walsh's Co-host]

A lot of friends in this business. I have a small group of people that I would consider friends who I know and work with and trust. I have a larger group of acquaintances.

[Matt Walsh]

Who I, you know, it's what sometimes.

[Matt Walsh's Co-host]

Call friends in a sense. But I, I work with, but I don't, I don't. Or I've worked with, friendly with. I don't really hang out with though.

[Matt Walsh]

As for everyone else, I don't, you.

[Matt Walsh's Co-host]

Know, I don't know.

[Matt Walsh]

I don't know these people.

[Matt Walsh's Co-host]

I don't talk to them. I don't go to the events. If I do go, it's just to give a speech and leave. Never go to the after parties. I've been to CPAC a couple of times. I mean, we were there last year. We did a, we did a podcast from the stage. Not going to like an after party? No.

[Matt Walsh]

On the rare occasion that I do.

[Matt Walsh's Co-host]

Go to any kind of like Conservative function, usually because I'm speaking or something.

[Matt Walsh]

If there's a party or a cocktail hour or whatever. And I.

[Matt Walsh's Co-host]

And I always want to avoid those. But sometimes, especially when speaking, they'll go.

[Matt Walsh]

They'Ll say, well, we got this cocktail.

[Matt Walsh's Co-host]

Hour ahead of time.

[Matt Walsh]

Would you want to go to that?

[Matt Walsh's Co-host]

And my answer is, could I. Can you just stab me to death instead? Can you just stab me?

[Matt Walsh]

I. How about that? You want me to go to your cocktail hour? How about instead, you just stab me.

[Matt Walsh's Co-host]

In the face to death?

[Matt Walsh]

Can we do that instead? That's my counter. But sometimes you got to go.

[Matt Walsh's Co-host]

It's all part of the thing, so. And I prefer to bring my wife to those kinds of things anyway.

[Matt Walsh]

All that to say these kinds of.

[Matt Walsh's Co-host]

Scandals are not uncommon in society generally and in the media business especially.

[Matt Walsh]

So here's what I want to say to the.

[Matt Walsh's Co-host]

To the men out there. And this applies to women, too. You know, there was. There was a woman involved in this story, allegedly. And.

[Matt Walsh]

But I'm a man, and so I want to talk to the men as.

[Matt Walsh's Co-host]

A man, if you want to be happy, which, who doesn't?

[Matt Walsh]

As far as I can tell, there.

[Matt Walsh's Co-host]

Are three things that you should have if you want to be happy.

[Matt Walsh]

And it's really only three things.

[Matt Walsh's Co-host]

So it's actually pretty, pretty simple. That's the good news.

[Matt Walsh]

First of all, you need to have.

[Matt Walsh's Co-host]

A faith, you know, A man cannot be happy without having some sense of ultimate purpose in his life.

[Matt Walsh]

What's it all for?

[Matt Walsh's Co-host]

What does it all mean? The answer can't be nothing. There's no happiness in that.

[Matt Walsh]

Second, you need a family, a wife.

[Matt Walsh's Co-host]

And children who you love and who love you.

[Matt Walsh]

And third, you need a profession.

[Matt Walsh's Co-host]

You need.

[Matt Walsh]

You need a vocation.

[Matt Walsh's Co-host]

That is important to you.

[Matt Walsh]

And I say important to you because that's what I mean. It's, you know, you don't need other.

[Matt Walsh's Co-host]

People to think that it's important. Everyone has different jobs, different vocations, and.

[Matt Walsh]

You might do something for a living that other people look at and they.

[Matt Walsh's Co-host]

Don'T think it's that important or they don't see why you care about it that much.

[Matt Walsh]

Doesn't matter. You have to think that what you go out and do every day matters. It doesn't really matter if other people find it important.

[Matt Walsh's Co-host]

You have to find it important. If you don't do anything right, if.

[Matt Walsh]

You aren't pursuing any goal, if you.

[Matt Walsh's Co-host]

Have no vocation, if you have no profession as a man, that is a recipe for misery.

[Matt Walsh]

That's just pure misery. And if you do something every day that you don't think matters, that doesn't.

[Matt Walsh's Co-host]

Even matter to you, that isn't even.

[Matt Walsh]

Important to you, then that is also misery. Either one of those things is misery. So if you have a faith, if.

[Matt Walsh's Co-host]

You have a family, if you have a job, you know, a vocation that.

[Matt Walsh]

Matters to you, then you have everything. Like, you have all of the ingredients for a happy life, all of the ingredients you could ever need. You don't need any other ingredients. You don't need to look around and say, I need to add to this. I need more. No, you don't stop looking. You won. You got it. Now the goal is to grow in each of those categories so it's not over. But you have the loving family, you.

[Matt Walsh's Co-host]

Have faith, and you have a profession, you have a job you care about, you have a vocation.

[Matt Walsh]

Well, now grow. You grow in faith, you grow in.

[Matt Walsh's Co-host]

Your love and devotion to your family, you grow in your career, in your.

[Matt Walsh]

Profession, whatever it is. And that's all you need for a happy life. And then don't it up. Like, sorry to be crass, but your.

[Matt Walsh's Co-host]

Your goal as a man should be to have those things, faith, family, a job that matters to you.

[Matt Walsh]

And if you have all that, don't it up. Because so often I see men who have all that, they have it all. Like, really, you have it all, and.

[Matt Walsh's Co-host]

And they squander it.

[Matt Walsh]

And women do this too. You know, don't give me plenty of.

[Matt Walsh's Co-host]

Cases where women have a happy, loving family, a loving spouse who's loyal to them, and they go and they ruin it.

[Matt Walsh]

They ruin it for nothing. Like, for nothing at all. What are you getting out of this? You go and have an affair or.

[Matt Walsh's Co-host]

Something, it's like it's destined.

[Matt Walsh]

Like it's guaranteed. Misery is guaranteed. You're ruining your life. You're going to regret this forever. You're not going to be happy. You are ruining everything.

[Matt Walsh's Co-host]

Why?

[Matt Walsh]

So it's. I'm not putting it all on men, but I'm just.

[Matt Walsh's Co-host]

I'm talking about men right now, and I think I can more credibly, like, give the ingredients for a happy life for men, because I am one.

[Matt Walsh]

But here's the thing.

[Matt Walsh's Co-host]

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

[Matt Walsh]

If you're a man and you have.

[Matt Walsh's Co-host]

A family and you have a job, but you crave more excitement, you know, you want more action, you want more excitement, you want more of a challenge, you want more to do.

[Matt Walsh]

That's fine, that's good. You should feel that. I feel that. So go and find that excitement, Find that risk taking in your pursuits, in your profession, in your vocation, whatever that looks like. Don't be reckless, don't be stupid.

[Matt Walsh's Co-host]

Especially if you have a family, if you have kids.

[Matt Walsh]

But you know, men do crave excitement.

[Matt Walsh's Co-host]

And what I'm saying is that you.

[Matt Walsh]

Should harness that energy into your pursuits. I'm not saying that you get married and have kids and all that and you become this like domesticated eunuch who has no other goals and ambitions and has no desire to like, get out.

[Matt Walsh's Co-host]

There in the world and do something.

[Matt Walsh]

I'm not saying that at all. You don't want to become that, but you harness that. Like every man needs a mountain to climb. We all need that. So I'm not saying that a man.

[Matt Walsh's Co-host]

Should have his family and his job and they just be content to coast and glide for the rest of his days.

[Matt Walsh]

No, you need a mountain.

[Matt Walsh's Co-host]

You need a challenge.

[Matt Walsh]

So find that in your profession, find.

[Matt Walsh's Co-host]

That in your career, maybe a hobby too, you know, or something like that.

[Matt Walsh]

Like that.

[Matt Walsh's Co-host]

That can also be an outlet for that kind of masculine drive to challenge yourself, to find excitement.

[Matt Walsh]

And you know, for me, I do what I do every day.

[Matt Walsh's Co-host]

It's important to me. Other people sometimes will look at what I do. You just talk for a living.

[Matt Walsh]

It, it's frivolous and that's fine. I think it's important.

[Matt Walsh's Co-host]

I care about it. But the thing that really excites me in my specific career path is making movies. So over the past five years, I've discovered for myself a new challenge. Something that I find very exciting, very difficult, extremely rewarding.

[Matt Walsh]

And that's where I harness most of.

[Matt Walsh's Co-host]

My sort of risk taking excitement seeking energy into that.

[Matt Walsh]

And, and for you it will, you know, it's be something different, whatever it is. But here's the crucial point.

[Matt Walsh's Co-host]

As a grown man.

[Matt Walsh]

You should not.

[Matt Walsh's Co-host]

Be seeking excitement in your personal life.

[Matt Walsh]

In your social life.

[Matt Walsh's Co-host]

You shouldn't be seeking it at parties or bars.

[Matt Walsh]

You shouldn't be seeking it in the.

[Matt Walsh's Co-host]

Company of other women.

[Matt Walsh]

Most of all, as a grown man.

[Matt Walsh's Co-host]

Your personal life should be one of peace and contentment and quiet.

[Matt Walsh]

I mean, as quiet as it could be.

[Matt Walsh's Co-host]

I got six kids at home, you.

[Matt Walsh]

Know, but, but spiritually, Spiritually quiet. If you want to mix things up, you know, you're feeling bored, take on a new project, pursue a new goal.

[Matt Walsh's Co-host]

Like try to achieve something you don't want. An exciting personal life full of drama and Challenge.

[Matt Walsh]

You don't want that.

[Matt Walsh's Co-host]

Like, you want a personal life that.

[Matt Walsh]

Is peaceful and quiet and stable and reliable.

[Matt Walsh's Co-host]

And you know what you're going to.

[Matt Walsh]

Get with people you know and people.

[Matt Walsh's Co-host]

You love and people you trust.

[Matt Walsh]

And so some men, this is what I see, they take the wrong path.

[Matt Walsh's Co-host]

And they end up in the reverse scenario.

[Matt Walsh]

This is the worst possible world that.

[Matt Walsh's Co-host]

You could be in.

[Matt Walsh]

And these are men whose professional lives.

[Matt Walsh's Co-host]

Often are dull and unfulfilling.

[Matt Walsh]

They're not really pursuing anything meaningful. They're not doing anything that they care about. But their personal lives are full of drama and intrigue and dysfunction. And when you talk to them, they always have a new problem. They always have a new obstacle. But not the good kind of problem, right? Not the problem that someone who's doing something exciting, doing something important, doing something meaningful, like they run into problems in pursuit of that goal.

[Matt Walsh's Co-host]

That's one kind of problem to have.

[Matt Walsh]

But these are people who have personal problems, relationship problems. These are men with tension and suspense.

[Matt Walsh's Co-host]

In their personal lives because they have secrets that they're always working to keep hidden and lies that they're trying to keep straight. Right?

[Matt Walsh]

Lots of excitement, lots of suspense, and the wrong kind. What you want is a home that.

[Matt Walsh's Co-host]

Is properly ordered, that is peaceful and loving, that you can come back to after a day spent pursuing whatever your goals are, and that's what you want.

[Matt Walsh]

I know, for me, like, the picture.

[Matt Walsh's Co-host]

Of happiness, life at its peak for.

[Matt Walsh]

Me is when I spend the day.

[Matt Walsh's Co-host]

Working on something very difficult and challenging, but important to me, where the stakes are high. Success is not certain. You know, it could.

[Matt Walsh]

It could. It might not work out, but I. And then I go home and I. And I. And I'm home with my wife and my kids. I listen to my children tell me.

[Matt Walsh's Co-host]

About their day and all the things.

[Matt Walsh]

That happened that are objectively less important than what I've been doing.

[Matt Walsh's Co-host]

But I listen and I care. And now my mind is focused on something smaller, something closer to home. And. And they rarely ask me about my day.

[Matt Walsh]

I find a lot of comfort in that. I find a lot of comfort. I could go. I could be dealing with stuff, and.

[Matt Walsh's Co-host]

I got a lot of things going on and all these sorts of things.

[Matt Walsh]

And then I come home and it's.

[Matt Walsh's Co-host]

Like, what's going on with you guys?

[Matt Walsh]

And they'll unload all their stories, and very rarely do they say, what. What's going on with you, dad? And I'm. To me, that is happiness, because I'm home now.

[Matt Walsh's Co-host]

And that's what that's what matters is that I'm home. And that's all a man can ask for. So if you don't have that.

[Matt Walsh]

Go find it. Go pursue it.

[Matt Walsh's Co-host]

Don't be satisfied until you get it. This is every man's birthright. I mean, this is what, this is what every man should have. And you should pursue it. But once you have it, keep it. Once you have it, keep it, guard it with your life.

[Matt Walsh]

Go out and, you know, sometimes take risks professionally.

[Matt Walsh's Co-host]

Maybe make some smart gambles on occasion that if they don't pay off, may set you back again. You got to be smart about it.

[Matt Walsh]

Especially if you have kids. But you should be doing that kind of thing, taking gambles, taking risks. I. I believe in that. Never take any risks in your personal life. That's where you don't want to be risky. Never take any risks, never go in any situation. Put yourself in any situation where it's like, this could get weird.

[Matt Walsh's Co-host]

Right?

[Matt Walsh]

That's the thing, is I got to go to the after party with her.

[Matt Walsh's Co-host]

I'm going to hang out with this woman who I know from.

[Matt Walsh]

Right? That's risk. That's weird.

[Zoran Mamdani]

That's.

[Matt Walsh]

You're putting stuff on the line that.

[Matt Walsh's Co-host]

Should never be on the line.

[Matt Walsh]

Because that thing you have, your loving family, that is the one thing that you never put on the line. You could put all your chips on the table.

[Matt Walsh's Co-host]

Never put those on the table.

[Matt Walsh]

That's for you.

[Matt Walsh's Co-host]

Never put yourself in a position to lose that ever. Ever.

[Matt Walsh]

So that's the.

[Matt Walsh's Co-host]

That'S kind of the fundamental mistake I see being made very often. And it's always sad to see. That's my, that's my sermon. We'll just end it there for today. Thanks for watching, thanks for listening. Talk to you tomorrow. Have a great day. Godspeed.

They told you America invented slavery. They told you the Indians were peaceful. They told you colonialism was evil and that Joseph McCarthy was a bad guy. And guess what? They lied. For half a century, generations of American school children have been taught to hate our history, hate our country, 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. The Trail of Tears, smallpox, blankets, myth, 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. World. It's time for Real History with Matt Walsh, now streaming only on Daily Wire. Plus.
