are you waiting for now's the time for you to make the switch head on over to puretalk dot com shapiro you'll save fifty percent off your very first month of coverage that's puretalk dot com shapiro switch to a wireless company that shares your values pure talk america's wireless company today matt walsh show is the war in iran continues secretary of state marco rubio offers a very problematic justification for the war meanwhile as we intervene in the muslim world overseas america has imported an increasingly large portion of that world why have we done this and when will we reverse that mistake plus jasmine crockett claims that white people commit most of the mass shootings and immigrants commit less crime than native born americans none of that is actually true we'll look at the facts and a church in pennsylvania goes viral with a new policy pertaining to loud children in church we'll talk about all that and more say in the mat while when donald trump announced that he was running for president in twenty sixteen he opened his announcement speech by insulting his opponents because they sweat like dogs which was great and they moved on to the central thesis of his entire campaign and subsequent presidency foreign countries are quote laughing at us at our stupidity and quote the united states has become a dumping ground for everybody else's problems just a few minutes later he recalled his opposition to the war in iraq which he opposed because he believed it would totally destabilize the middle east then he went on to promise that he would quote stop iran from getting nuclear weapons and six months later after two radicalized muslims committed a mass shooting in california trump announced a new policy he called for a total and complete shutdown of muslims entering the united states until our country's representatives can figure out what is going on and at a debate in greenville south carolina in february twenty sixteen a moderator asked trump if he stood by his opposition to the war in iraq and this is what he said obviously the war in iraq was a big fat mistake all right they lied they said there were weapons of mass destruction there were none and they knew there were none there were no weapons of mass if you listen to him and you listen to some of the folks that i've been listening to that's why we've been in the middle east for fifteen years and we haven't won anything we've spent five trillion dollars in the middle east because of thinking like that we've spent five and lindsey graham lindsey graham who backs him who had zero on his polls let me just tell you something we've spent we've spent we've spent i only tell the truth lobbyists we've spent five trillion dollars all over the we have to rebuild our country we have to rebuild our infrastructure you listen to that you're going to be there for another fifteen all right governor bush now his campaign was to put it mildly truly america first trump won his election by running a campaign focused on advancing the interests of our country of america and now with the advent of war in iran many of us are asking an obvious question a fair question even if it makes a lot of people upset when we ask it which is why are we doing this does this benefit our own country first and foremost the administration has struggled with that question for days they just have until last night when marco rubio finally gave a clear and straightforward response states conducted this operation with a fair goal in mind i haven't got a chance to see a lot of reporting i don't understand what the confusion is let me explain it to you and i'll do it once again as clearly as possible perhaps you'll report it that way the united states is conducting an operation to eliminate the threat of iran's short range ballistic missiles and the threat posed by their navy particularly to naval assets that is what it is focused on doing right now and it's doing quite successfully i'll leave it to the pentagon and the department of war to discuss the tactics behind that and the progress that's being made that is the clear objective of this mission the second question that's been asked is why now well there's two reasons why now the first is it was abundantly clear that if iran came under attack by anyone the united states or israel or anyone they were going to respond and respond against the united states the orders had been delegated down to the field commanders it was automatic and in fact it bear to be true because in fact within an hour of the initial attack on the leadership compound the missile forces in the south and in the north for that matter had already been activated to launch in fact those had already been pre positioned the third is the assessment that was made that if we stood and waited for that attack to come first before we hit them we would suffer much higher casualties and so the president made the very wise decision we knew that there was going to be an israeli action we knew that that would precipitate an attack against american forces forces and we knew that if we didn't preemptively go after them before they launched those attacks we would suffer higher casualties and perhaps even higher those killed and then we would all be here answering questions about why we knew that and didn't act it would be hard to imagine a worse line of reasoning that could be offered at a time like this americans were wondering why exactly we're suddenly engaged in a war with iran wanted to hear a clear and compelling explanation that would justify the cost of the war including the loss of american lives and instead we're told that israel forced our hand now to be fair the administration has since tried to walk this back there are those saying that it was taken out of context but the clip we just played was a clip posted by the white house to their social media feeds it's not one that we made and he said what he said there's no way around it the other problem is that this was not a one off comment either maybe if it was you could maybe believe that he just misspoke or something but this is the message that we're hearing from many different sources shortly afterwards the speaker of the house said basically the same thing they had to evaluate the threats to the us to our troops to our installations to our assets in the region and beyond and they determined because of the exquisite intelligence that we had that if israel fired upon iran and took action against iran to take out the missiles then they would have immediately retaliated against us personnel and assets we have troops in harm's way and we have many americans in the region and that was of great concern if we had waited for all of those eventualities to take place the consequences of inaction on our part would have been could have been devastating we don't know at what magnitude but you can assume because it is common sense that if iran had begun to fire all of their missile arsenal short and mid range missiles at our personnel and our assets and our installations we would have suffered staggering losses so with that in mind here's some reporting from the new york times on the lead up to the war in iran now normally of course we wouldn't even bother talking about coverage in the new york times which is one of the least reliable news outlets on the planet but in this case it is worth reading because everything the times is saying completely matches what marco rubio and mike johnson are saying publicly so there is legitimate reason to think that this is true or some version of it is true and here's what they reported quote prime minister benjamin netanyahu of israel walked into the oval office on the morning of february eleventh determined to keep the american president on the path to war for weeks the united states and israel had been secretly discussing a military offensive against iran but trump administration officials had recently begun negotiating with the iranians over the future of their nuclear program and the israeli leader wanted to make sure that the new diplomatic effort did not undermine the plans two weeks later the president took the united states to war behind the scenes his move toward war grew inexorably fueled by allies like mister netanyahu who pushed the president to strike a decisive blow against iran's theocratic government by mister trump's own confidence after the successful us operation that toppled the venezuelan leader maduro in january the article continues quote there were a few voices lobbying against military action one exception was tucker carlson the right wing podcaster and close ally of the president was met with him in the oval office three times in the past month to argue against an attack the president said he understood the risks of an attack but he conveyed to mister carlson that he had no choice but to join a strike that israel would launch so again you could say well none of that is true everything about this reporting is consistent with what we just heard from senior republicans including republicans in the administration israel is leading the charge and by the way this is nothing new according to a memoir written by the us diplomat aaron david miller in nineteen ninety six benjamin netanyahu visited bill clinton in washington netanyahu was the prime minister of israel at the time which is the same job of course he has today and after netanyahu lectured clinton long enough clinton became exasperated and told his aides quote who the f does he think he is who's the effing superpower here so this is how netanyahu comes across in private apparently but in public it's a very different character last night netanyahu appeared for an exclusive interview with fox's sean hannity president trump promoted this interview on truth social and i mean frankly the timing could not have been worse if we're being honest just hours after marco rubio says that israel dragged us into the war the president tells everyone to listen to israel's prime minister explain why we're at war well here's what netanyahu told hannity the reason that we had to act now is because they were after we hit their nuclear sites and their ballistic missiles program you'd think they learned a lesson but they didn't because they're unreformable they're totally fanatic about this about the goal of destroying america so they started building new sites new places underground bunkers that would make their ballistic missile program and their atomic bomb program immune within months if no action was taken now no action could be taken in the future and then they could target america they could blackmail america they could threaten us and threaten everyone in between so action had to be taken and you needed a resolute president like donald j trump to take that action now a couple of things to note here first of all netanyahu keeps talking about how america is supposedly at risk of an imminent attack by iran doesn't even mention israel for the most part but obviously that is his main concern which it should be he's the leader of israel and when it comes to iran a devastating attack on israel of course is far more likely than a devastating attack on the united states but in this interview netanyahu knows his audience he knows he has to talk about the alleged threats facing america and that's what he does but wait a second what threat did iran pose to america in this interview netanyahu makes the case that while they were months away from making their nuclear program effectively invincible but that contradicts what the white house said last summer when they repeatedly claimed that iran's nuclear weapons had been obliterated their nuclear weapons program had been obliterated it's a direct quote on top of that netanyahu's comments contradict what ted cruz said on face the nation just two days ago the white house had stated that ted cruz received a briefing was functioning as a white house surrogate and here's what he said look the quantity of nuclear material i didn't say anything one way or another on that what i said is they were building nuclear weapons a year ago and our bombing took that out they also had an ongoing desire to rebuild them i don't have present day intelligence on what progress they had made towards rebuilding nuclear weapons since we bombed their facilities i have no indication that they were anywhere close to getting nuclear weapons because our bombing was devastating and margaret that's one of the reasons i urged president trump now is the time you know dictatorships survive because they're perceived as invulnerable and in this instance iran decisively lost the twelve day war that weakened the regime and set up what the president is doing now so he says they don't have present day intelligence on what progress they've made towards rebuilding nuclear weapons since we bombed their facilities i have no indications they were anywhere close to getting nuclear weapons well that is just an inconsistency cruz could have said that according to the latest intelligence iran was months away from developing an invincible nuclear weapons program but he didn't say that so then why are we why are we hearing that from israel in response to one of my posts on x where i ask for a clear explanation outlining the case for attacking iran the white house press secretary responded to her credit and offered a response and i'm going to read part of this it's part of a much larger response which you can go i retweeted you can go read it on my feed but as to the nuclear weapons question this was the explanation that she provided quote while operation midnight hammer did obliterate iran's major nuclear sites the regime was fully committed to rebuilding their nuclear program and they refused to make a deal despite months of extensive talks and good faith efforts by president trump's top negotiators so they were fully committed to rebuilding the nuclear program i mean i can believe that but how close were they were they months away from the invincible bunkers or not the press secretary wouldn't say but u s special envoy steve witkoff spoke to hannity last night and he provided yet another version of events he was negotiating with iran before strikes began and what he said undeniably contradicts the remarks from white house surrogate ted cruz it also differs substantially from the implication of the press secretary's post on x watch percent materials sean can be brought to ninety percent that's weapon grade weapons grade in roughly one week maybe ten days at the outside the twenty percent can be brought to weapons grade inside of three to four weeks and let me say this because i forgot this small little detail in that first meeting both the iranian negotiators said to us directly with you know no shame that they controlled four hundred sixty kilograms of sixty percent and they're aware that that could make eleven nuclear bombs and that was the beginning of their negotiating stance so that's that's they were they were proud of it they were proud that they had evaded all sorts of oversight protocols to get to a place where they could deliver eleven nuclear bombs so in the very first meeting the iranian negotiators said that they could make eleven nuclear bombs with the material they currently controlled we aren't told how quickly iran could make those bombs but right away that's alarming why hasn't anyone else mentioned that why didn't trump or cruz or the white house press secretary mention that if that's the case why are we learning this very important fact or alleged fact in an offhand comment during a hannity interview well you know every day we spend trying to untangle this mess and trying to make sense of what our elected officials are saying we're running the risk of repeating the exact same mistake that the bush administration did setting ourselves up for the same result a quagmire overseas while our domestic security collapses around us we we can't end up with a situation where we're fighting muslim terrorists overseas while hordes of anti american muslims continue to stream into the united states which is basically the story of the of of america in the twentieth first century up to now and that's a story worth talking about whether you agree with this operation iran or not because it's been argued that this war in iran is is really about russia and china you know asserting our dominance on the global stage against our chief rivals and that would be an entirely different justification than the four or five other reasons that we've been presented and already talked about but regardless dominance on the world stage is fairly meaningless if our sovereignty at home is destroyed the border is now closed which is a massive victory but we're still sitting at the end of the twenty five years of unchecked migration legal and not mostly from the third world if you look at the history of the of muslim migration to the united states and how quickly our demographics have changed you begin to realize how dire this problem is the iranian born population in the united states roughly doubled from nineteen eighty to nineteen ninety largely as a result of refugees from the iran iraq war so we're talking about hundreds of thousands of new iranians in the united states meanwhile something like one hundred fifty thousand iraqi refugees settled in the united states post two thousand seven another one hundred fifty thousand came from bangladesh mostly from diversity lotteries around one hundred thousand afghans entered arrived in the united states in twenty twenty one alone we took in tens of thousands of syrian refugees during the obama administration around a quarter million pakistanis have received legal permanent resident status in the past two decades and hundreds of thousands of somalis have entered the us since two thousand despite the fact that somalis brutally murdered american soldiers who were trying to help address their food shortages in nineteen ninety three which is of course what black hawk down is about and despite the fact that somalis routinely engaged in acts of piracy against the united states in the twenty first century that last point deserves some emphasis in two thousand nine somali pirates seized a us danish cargo ship called the maersk alabama around two hundred and forty nautical miles southeast of somalia it was the first time since the nineteenth century that pirates seized a ship that was registered under the us flag you might have seen the tom hanks movie about this incident called captain phillips two years later in february of twenty eleven somali pirates seized an american yacht and four american citizens seal team six gold squadron attempted to free the hostages but all of them were shot to death by their captors there have been several other incidents where somali pirates have fired on us warships apparently because they mistook them for trading vessels and those attempts didn't end well for the somalis this is the culture that we've been importing in massive numbers to states like minnesota and ohio these are people who still see piracy a barbarian pastime that peaked centuries ago as a viable career path in the twenty first century they've slaughtered our troops and paraded them like animals and we invite them into the us and shower them with stolen tax money and then when a majority americans vote to of americans vote to get these people out of our country our leaders essentially back down or heavily moderate because leftist whiners mostly women became hysterical in nineteen twenty according to pew we had something like fifty thousand muslims in the country tops by nineteen seventy the number had risen to two hundred thousand by nineteen ninety we were up to a million in two thousand just before the beginning of the war on terror there were around two million muslims in the us now we're at around three point five to four million so about double to put it another way most muslims living in the us arrived in this country after nine eleven something like sixty percent of our muslim population right now is foreign born and they're much younger than the typical american now if you're the cynical type you might suspect that all this migration is related to the patriot act and the mass surveillance regime that both parties implemented after nine eleven after all if you flood the country with muslims you'll have no shortage of investigations and wiretaps to conduct that's a guarantee so maybe all this migration was a way to facilitate the growth of the surveillance state and the gradual eradication of civil liberties in the us i don't know we can only theorize why else would you after nine eleven make a concerted effort to import as many muslims as you can into the united states well more likely all of this migration is part of the larger effort to dilute the votes of american citizens by replacing us with foreigners who despise the united states whatever the case the top priority of this administration should be to reverse this catastrophic and deliberate effort to fundamentally alter the demographics of this country this is the top national security threat we face and it's not even close so even if you support the current war in iran you should be on board with this every single one of these third world foreigners is a clear and present danger to the lives of american citizens particularly when we're going to war with a muslim nation right now just the other day according to prosecutors an illegal alien from sierra leone named abdul jalo murdered a white woman named stephanie minter at a bus stop on richmond highway in fairfax county and you can see the victim there supposedly this is one of the nicer areas of the country but lately northern virginia has been overrun with foreigners particularly muslims so now residents have to contend with brutal stabbings with no apparent motive just done for the sake of it now the alleged killer according to the new york post quote entered the us illegally from sierra leone in thousand two twenty twelve and had an ice detainer lodged against him in twenty twenty with a judge granting him a final order of removal to a country other than sierra leone dhs said in a statement the accused killer has been arrested more than thirty times for a laundry list of offenses including rape malicious wounding assault drug possession identity theft trespassing larceny firing a weapon contributing to the delinquency of a minor and pickpocketing but none of this the illegal entry the thirty crimes the order of removal resulted in this barbarian being deported actually thirty crimes is understating it according to the local abc affiliate he has more than forty crimes on his record and in every case except one the fairfax county da dropped all the charges watch a virginia woman was killed at a fairfax county bus stop we're learning the man charged in her murder is in the us illegally his name is abdul jalo from sierra leone according to to the department of homeland security i'm at the fairfax county courthouse where i discovered this man has a lengthy criminal history more than forty charges in the past ranging from stabbings to malicious wounding and much more in almost every case fairfax county commonwealth's attorney steve descano dropped charges against this man only secured one conviction in the past he served very little time he was let back out into the community where then he allegedly stabbed this woman of fredericksburg now this woman's family is heartbroken according to an obituary her family describes this woman stephanie mentor as a jolly happy individual a light in dark places and tonight the us department of homeland security is calling on virginia governor abigail spamberger and fairfax county officials to hand this man over to ice so they can deport him now we'll put that prosecutor's image up on the screen there he is for you that's steve descano according to the american enterprise institute quote descano is in office is in office because of left wing billionaire george soros descano raised about a million dollars between the primary and the general election a shocking amount for a down ballot county raise about two thirds of his cash came from two soros funded organizations the justice and public safety pac and the new virginia majority pact toscano also tried to single handedly turn fairfax county into something of a sanctuary county wherever possible descano descano's website declared steve will make charging and plea decisions that limit or avoid immigration consequences well that's why he won't charge illegal aliens when they commit forty crimes he doesn't want them to be deported he wants violent criminals to remain in this country roaming free where they can brutally murder random americans that they come across the mission of george soros and his prosecutors is to spring barbarians loose so that americans are slaughtered it happened to irina zarutska it happened to stephanie minter it happened to the victims of the mass shooting in austin a thirty year old man a nineteen year old man a twenty one year old woman and it will continue to happen whether or not we achieve our objectives in iran objectives that to this day still have not been fully articulated as it stands this is the status quo you're expected to accept that we can terminate the supreme leader of iran despite all of his security and paranoia and power but we can't deport somali fraudsters in minneapolis we can't denaturalize scammers and grifters who openly declare for the world to see that they despise the united states and seek to destroy it we can't get gangster thugs and illegal aliens like kilmar abrego garcia out of the country without ten different female judges all of them with foreign last names issuing an immediate nationwide injunction we can't imprison the insurance executives who are ripping off medicaid by sending massive payouts to fake autism treatment clinics and leering centers while keeping a cut for themselves of course none of that is possible apparently so we can eliminate a threat thousands of miles away a threat that's supposedly urgent we can't do anything about the clear and obvious threats that are living in this country right now apparently all it takes is some low testosterone schizophrenic weirdo fighting with border patrol while armed with a handgun along with an unemployed lesbian extremist driving an suv directly at a federal agent to completely derail immigration enforcement within our borders now for the past several months i've been told continuously that we can't actually do mass deportations much less mass denaturalizations because it's impractical expensive politically unpopular risky deporting illegal immigrants who haven't committed additional crimes who have no criminal record aside from being here illegally is especially fraught i'm told we're all told that was the argument we heard when los angeles burned and trump had to send in the national guard it was the argument we heard when ice was forced to flee minneapolis maybe there's some truth to it you know maybe mass deportations and mass denaturalizations are impractical expensive politically unpopular risky i can't say for sure that a deportation operation targeting all illegal aliens again not just the criminal not just the additional criminals but all of them i can't say that such an operation at the kind of scale we would need wouldn't result in massive backlash from the electorate i think those fears are overblown but maybe they aren't well mister president the war in iran is also impractical expensive politically unpopular and risky even if it all works out even if in the end it was the right move it still is all of those things that in and of itself doesn't mean it's wrong and i acknowledge that it's your call to make in the end you're the commander in chief after all but if we're going to do something drastic and explosive and unpopular thousands of miles from home why not do it here too that's the question that the base is asking if we're going to give a major prize to the donors and pundit class people who have tried to undermine you every step of the way people who oppose your domestic agenda people who many of them want you to be impeached and imprisoned if we're going to reward them then will we also reward your america first base will you bring back the muslim ban restart workplace raids suspend the legal immigration system strip citizenship from paper americans who use the word they when they describe our country strip citizenship from americans who can't even speak english and don't respect our laws finish the big beautiful border wall you can capture maduro and kill the ayatollah both impressive feats even if i'm skeptical of the objectives and downturn effects related to the latter but if you could do all that then i would ask you we ask you will you finish the thing you set out to achieve will you make america america great again now let's get to our five headlines ditch your old wireless contract and trade up to puretalk my wireless company the one that actually respects your time money and intelligence for just twenty five bucks a month you get unlimited talk text and data no contract no cancellation fees and no waiting for overseas representatives they provide fast simple service make switch go to puretalk dot com walsh and you'll save fifty percent off your first month that's puretalk dot com walsh switch to a wireless company that shares your values pure talk america's wireless company so we just mentioned the mass shooter from senegal the one who should not have been in the country to begin with jasmine crockett has weighed in on all this and you'll never guess you will never guess ever who she is blaming listen once again another mass shooting this time on sixth street in austin and just before you went on stage i saw that your primary opponent and greg abbott had kind of gotten into it on x and they both chose to use this moment to scapegoat the immigrant community the shooter was a naturalized citizen we've seen efforts already from the trump administration to denaturalize citizens my mother in law is a naturalized citizen who is incredibly scared how are you going to balance comprehensive immigration reform which we do need and still treating our immigrant community with dignity and not using them as a scapegoat in these moments i don't know how it is that we got here that what one person does somehow is then impugned on an entire community the facts are the facts the facts are that the immigrant community actually commits less crime in this country than anyone else so the idea that we take this one incident and that's what they do listen every time there's some crazy situation like this black folk sit around and say oh i hope they're not black because we know that that's going to be an additional target on our backs we know that the immigrant community was probably holding their breath and saying oh i hope it wasn't an immigrant because then there's going to be another target on their back listen no one in my opinion is born in this country and somehow when they're born because of where they were born they somehow now are automatically a criminal that's not like a real thing but that's essentially what you do when you decide to impugnance an entire community if i was to give you the facts on who the shooters have been in these mass shootings i can guarantee you the vast majority of them have been white male and homegrown okay so that's all nonsense of course and by the way this matters i mean this matters obviously matters for the obvious reasons but also because jasmine crockett as tragic as it may be to consider is an influential national political figure and i'm guessing that she runs for president in twenty twenty eight so we may be treated to a primary battle featuring aoc and jasmine crockett which of course would go down in history as the political race with the lowest collective iq ever and i don't know she could actually win i mean jasmine crockett could be the democrat twenty twenty eight candidate you heard it here first maybe you didn't hear it here first but you heard it here so her nonsense matters and and this is nonsense you know the claim from jasmine crockett and from every leftist and democrat politician is that is that number one white people are doing most of the mass shootings and that immigrants actually commit less crime than native born americans do those are the two things we so often hear are they true well no none of that is true it's all lies every bit of it and it's not hard to break down so first of all most mass shooters are not white and we've been over this and it really shows you how these kinds of these sort of statistics are so easily rigged because you start with well what is a mass shooting anytime anyone says oh you know the white white people are the ones committing all the mass shootings what do you mean by mass shooting really what is it we use this term as if it has some clear clean definition but it doesn't really at least not the way that it's so often used is a mass shooting just any shooting where a mass of people are killed or wounded what is a mass of people two two or more i mean that would be the cleanest definition right a mass shooting is a shooting where more than one person is shot how many more doesn't matter for the statistically shot or killed you know whatever it is more than one person is shot that is a by the strictest definition that's a mass shooting and it's certainly the least arbitrary way to define it and if you define it that way well black people make up a wildly disproportionate number of the culprits the only way to make white people more likely to commit a mass shooting the only way to make them you know the the culprits who are responsible for the most especially the most per capita is if you get very specific and very arbitrary so for example one of the most common definitions of mass shootings used by the media in many cases is a shooting where four or more victims are wounded or killed and in some cases they require that all four are killed in order for it to count as a mass shooting why four though so why why not two why not three why not five why not six what do you why four well there's no reason other than the fact that once you get to four victims that's about where the racial dynamics start to change a little bit but even there black people if we're doing four four people are are shot wounded or killed black people account for twenty twenty five percent of the of the culprits of the offenders which is still more per capita a lot more actually so you have to get even more specific okay so if you google mass shooting statistics one of the first things that will pop up is an organization called the violence prevention project and i know that because i just googled it and this is one of the first things that popped up and it catalogs a lot of this stuff and i'm just using this as an example but here's how they define it from their website we define a mass shooting as four or more people shot and killed excluding the shooter in a public location with no connection to underlying criminal activity such as gangs or drugs i mean it's amazing that it's just a master class in rigging the data i mean you know the phrase lies damn lies and statistics i don't know who i think was a mark twain coined that or something well this is it right here we define a mass shooting as four more people shot and killed excluding the shooter in a public location with no connection to underlying criminal activity such as gangs or drugs so in other words we define a mass shooting as the kind of shooting that black people are less likely to commit that is that's all they mean that is all that means we are specifically defining it so that we can have the maximum number of white people it really is that absurd and that's what allows people like jasmine crockett to claim that white people are the great mass shooting risk in society you have to again specifically tailor the data to fit the exact parameters in which a maximum number of white people are admitted and a minimum number of black offenders are admitted it's insane so then what about this claim that immigrants commit less crime than native born well first of all just to start and this is why when you hear these kind of statistics and they don't sound right the moment you hear that you're like really that that can't be that doesn't that just doesn't sound right there's no way that's true and and it turns out that your gut instinct is very often correct especially when people are using studies right they're using studies they're using alleged statistics to disprove what you're what common sense will tell you i mean sometimes your common sense can be wrong about things but here your common sense is correct because here's what happens here's what they do first of all just to begin as we've already covered the black population commits a huge percentage of the violent crime in this country as we know so when you talk about native born crime that number is wildly skewed by this one small subset of the population that commits most of it and even within that subset within that subset it's actually a subset of the subset because most of the crime is committed by black males who are between the ages of like eighteen and forty right young black males are committing most of the crime or younger than eighteen actually so young black males are committing most of the crime and so that that's what four percent of the population three percent wildly skewing the data and that's what allows ironically somebody like jasmine crockett to make this kind of claim well what about white native born versus immigrant and what if you narrow it down even more than that not arbitrarily but but to to narrow it down to talk about the thing that we're actually talking about because when jasmine crockett says that americans commit more crimes than immigrants she is not intending to say that well black people are committing a lot of crimes that's not what she's referring to obviously she's trying to create in your mind an image of a white american versus a non white immigrant that is what she's actually talking about that's what you that is the takeaway she wants you and any democrat any leftist wants you to to have so she wants you to believe very specifically that non white immigrants are less of a threat than white native born americans well what happens when you compare those stats white americans versus non white immigrants who commits more crimes well if you're comparing if we're talking about east asians chinese japanese korean then the immigrants probably come out on top in that comparison i mean that that subset of the immigrant population they as we all know they do very well here they actually do better than on average than whites which is as many people point out rightly so you know really is a problem for the whole narrative about systemic racism and everything else well you've got these non white immigrants who are coming to this country and succeeding even more than white people but but again that's not really what we're talking about because what about african latin american middle eastern just keep this in mind any anytime anyone starts giving you the alleged stats to show how productive and great and law abiding and successful and and useful immigrants are anytime they're doing that well immigrants from china japan and south korea are doing a lot of the work in those stats so what they're really doing is they're using immigrants from east asia to make the point that immigrants from nigeria and guatemala are a net gain to society in america that's what they're doing but what if we talk about again what we're actually talking about which is immigrants from the third world well it's almost impossible to find those statistics that's the first problem those are not stats that any governing authority tabulates or keeps records of with any reliability for the most part there are a few exceptions there are a few states but in the vast majority of cases that information is just not recorded somebody's arrested charged nobody records whether they were foreign born or not in most cases that information just doesn't exist officially anywhere so then when someone comes along says well you know they commit less crimes well how do you know but what do you it's not in most cases somebody's arrested that's not the police aren't aren't recording that they're not telling you one way or another so how do we know well we can use common sense we can use other clues mean one thing you can do is you can compare for example a majority white neighborhood you could compare majority white neighborhoods on average to communities that are majority foreign born especially born in the third world countries which neighborhood would you rather move to with your family what do you think supposedly according to jasper crackwell the immigrants are a lot a lot safer to be around really okay so you're you you're going to move in somewhere you got a lot you've let's say you have you're blessed enough to have a lot of different options and on one hand you've got this neighborhood that's like seventy eighty percent white and you can move there with your family or you could move to a neighborhood that's fifty sixty percent nigerian which one are you moving to which one do you think your family will be safer in which one would jasmine crockett move to we all know the answer the white neighborhood is going to have lower crime rates on average almost every time that's just that's true statistically majority white neighborhoods white american neighborhoods are almost always safer statistically they almost always have lower crime and the other thing about immigrant crime and this is this is pretty important like well again no one no one is keeping records of a lot of it and even if they were if you look into the data the whole immigrant commit the immigrants commit less crime for thing is based on if it's based on anything incarceration rates okay but the problem maybe noticed it is that saying that immigrants are less likely to be incarcerated is not the same as saying they're less likely to commit crimes we just heard a story about a guy who committed forty crimes was an illegal immigrant and was not incarcerated for thirty nine of them so for thirty nine of those immigrant crimes that didn't count that doesn't count why doesn't count because this because the prosecutors and judges say yeah you know we're going to let we're going to let that go so jurisdictions can get around this problem they can juke the stats by not charging certain criminals not incarcerating them or simply not recording their foreign born status all of these somali scammers in minneapolis are those crimes being officially tabulated on record anywhere are they being tabulated as crimes committed by immigrants when we hear about the immigrant crime stats from people like jasmine crockett does that include the somali fraudsters it doesn't because most of them haven't been imprisoned or even charged and will never be and if they are no one is going to record officially that they were foreign born which is why if you if you went and like looked at a list of the crimes committed by americans especially in a place like minneapolis you're going you're going to see a lot of names that are kind of interesting you'll see a lot of names like you know muhammad assan muhammad those are your those are your american just your down home red blooded american criminals old muhammad so this is what they do i mean this is how they play the game and this is how they try to persuade you to disbelieve your lying eyes by playing games like this and it doesn't take much you don't have to be a genius because if you did i wouldn't be able to do it but fortunately you don't have to be a genius to just think critically about this and this is the question you should always ask anytime anyone makes a claim any anyone in power makes a claim about anything your first question should

move on this is kind of funny the guardian is upset reading now a recent tweet from the us department of defense boasts about the killing capabilities of the us military as follows low cortisol locked in lethality maxing to many that will sound as indecipherable as the teenagers that discuss high tier beckys or the new york times warning of tape pilled boys many will have now seen the february sixth tweet that went global globally viral viewed more than twenty four million times and since discussed in endless analyses and explainers the tweet which said clavicular was mid jester gooning when a group of foids came and spiked his cortisol levels is ignoring the foids while munting and mogging moids more useful than cmv shad fishing in the club in twenty twenty six this kind of language is appearing more frequently from america's most prominent newspaper to the highest tiers of the us government why has this disfigured way of speaking become so normalized it starts with the rise of the incels a growing cohort of men who are involuntary celibate and think women are to blame anyway it goes on from there it's just a it's a long article lamenting basically zoomer slang and blaming it on young men and incels so it is funny that the the media is doing this puritanical spiral because of tweets from the pentagon but i do want to say and i was thinking about this all of this zoomer slang and i i've heard it defended by older conservatives i've heard it said that all this all the zoomer slang looks maxing mogging whatever that it's actually it's actually kind of charming kind of funny michael knowles made this argument recently i've heard it a bunch of places basically saying like hey you know it's not so bad it's it's actually it's kind of evocative and the thing is i agree on the surface i actually think that these new terms are many of them are kind of funny are kind of evocative in their own way they sort of work and sure every generation has their slang and complaining about it just makes you sound old and out of touch which i am on both counts but i'm not complaining but i do complain about it and i'm not complaining about it because of the words themselves that's not the issue i i'm bothered by the slang especially the volume of new slang that crops up now not because of the word i don't mind the words themselves but there's something about it that i recognize is kind of bad and i think most people do at least older people and and i think it's this so so here's the problem you know each generation comes up with its slang nothing new about that and you know and that's fine the problem is that actually the slang doesn't expand our vocabulary you're not actually adding new words exactly to people's conversational vocabulary it doesn't expand our language it's not a net gain what happens and this is the issue with it and i think we're seeing this happening now in hyperdrive so i'm more worried about where this leads what happens is that each new slang term becomes a substitute for other words and phrases that already exist and and not a substitute it's not like a one to one substitute it's you come up with like this slang word that's a substitute for like a whole class of words it's a substitute for forty different words that all become contained in this one word well it's not a one to one swap it's each new term is like a stand in for a dozen two dozen other words and phrases so then what happens is our language our vocabulary contracts with each new generation and i think that's been happening for decades and it's the kind of thing that i think we all know that it's happening i think we all recognize it maybe we can even see it in ourselves it's very apparent to me that vocabularies are shrinking drastically and yet if you look this up and i have and i have looked it up i know it's another thing that's hard to study i mean how do you measure this how do you measure it exactly it's the kind of thing that's like you either notice it or you don't but people have tried to measure this and they've done studies and a lot of the studies say that well it's actually not true the vocabularies are not shrinking if anything maybe they're expanding and yet we all notice it i think it's very clear that it is and it's becoming more rapid this is a process that's played out over the last seventy or eighty years it was kind of this exponential growth or reduction in this case i guess and it's not that and this is why it's hard to tabulate it's not that the slang words come in and the words they replace suddenly disappear the other words still exist if words can be said to exist at all they're still available to be used and people know those other words but in everyday speech in terms of everyday usage they just fall away and they're replaced by these other terms and so what's happening now is that most people they know a lot of words because we're all we're online we're you know you're just constantly you're you're constantly consuming a lot of information most people go through at least twelve thirteen years of formal schooling so you you know a lot of words but it it's it's not part of conversational usage or or even non conversational so here's what i mean take a word like like riz which is a term i kind of like i'm not going to use it because i'm almost forty but like again it sounds it it works i get what you're trying to say but if you didn't have that word you'd say that someone has charisma right which is what riz is short for or you'd say they have charm or they have magnetism or they have appeal they have confidence they have they have ten other synonyms that you could use you say someone's mid right now without that word if you didn't have that word you would say oh they're mediocre they're average they're underwhelming they're uninspired they're forgettable right you go down the list of what it cooked right if you didn't have that you'd say that someone is or something is exhausted defeated you know embarrassed doomed overwhelmed and then you got mogged another word that i'm not going to ever use it because i'm too old but even before anyone defined it for me i kind of knew what it meant because it sounds like what it means and so it works as a word and yet without that word you would say that someone has been they haven't been mogged they've been outclassed they've been outshone they've been dwarfed they've been they're being towered over i mean there's there's you know thirty different ways you could describe what that is meant to mean and it just goes like this and again you can still say all those things i get it those words have not disappeared and those words and terms have not disappeared off the face of the earth but in practical everyday usage all of those other forms of description are subsumed right by the slang words and the internet just makes this process play out again exponentially it's the same thing with people relying on emojis and gifs and that kind of thing it becomes a replacement it's like rather than that's why i've been complaining about emojis forever it's okay you're excited or happy about something and so use a smiley face emoji well without the smiley face emoji you could just describe you could actually describe you could talk about the fact that you're happy you could describe it you can use descriptive words could use like adjectives you could you could expand a little bit and it just makes your communication richer it makes it a richer communication for everybody involved but it all just gets consumed everything gets condensed everyone's everyday vocabulary their conversational vocabulary gets condensed and condensed and condensed and you really see this it becomes undeniable if you go back and read pretty much anything that was written a hundred years ago or more and i don't just mean classic works of literature obviously that's not a fair comparison right there is a little bit of a survivorship bias in that most of the writing that still exists that's one hundred years old or two hundred years old or whatever was preserved because it's great writing and so we don't get a lot of the mediocre writing from one hundred years ago two hundred years ago or further back than that and so i get that you know so it's not fair to compare the the vocabulary of some live streamer to you know i was just reading the death of ivan ilyich again which is a which is a tolstoy novella and i think one of the greatest works of fiction ever written it's really short if you haven't read it it's fifty pages you should read it i think the most insightful work of fiction of all time i was reading again over the weekend like my fourth or fifth time reading it and i'm marveling at it's just it's actually sad i mean it's a sad story it's depressing in a lot of ways it's also kind of weirdly funny in a satirical really dark black humor kind of way but it's also depressing because you're reading it's like no one can write like this anymore the way that he's able to describe the exterior and interior like be able to describe the environment these characters are in and also what's happening inside them and he's able to describe it so vividly and he's able to describe what someone is experiencing so that you feel like you're also experiencing it i mean the entire book is about someone dying hence the title and you read it and you feel like you've now experienced dying you know what it's like to die because you read it described so vividly and anyway no one can write like that anymore that that's not a fair comparison but if you read even i've made this point before if you read you go and read civil war go read random letters that were written during the civil war and i don't just mean by stonewall jackson or abraham lincoln or something i mean just any random soldier in the civil war who wrote a letter back to mom or wrote a letter back to the wife and there's plenty of places you can go and find databases of these letters many of the people writing these letters were not even formally educated at all and there might be spelling mistakes and grammatical mistakes but the writing even with these random soldiers on the front lines of the civil war it is descriptive and rich in this kind of natural fluid effortless way that it doesn't exist anymore people don't speak like that they don't write like that so much so that when you read it even without context you immediately know that oh this had to be written in the nineteenth century not because it's really flowery or formal but just because it's so descriptive in a way that nobody writes anymore and so there's this kind of poverty of language that's happening that i find really sad the numbers don't lie financial stress in this country is through the roof and if your debt is crushing you you're not alone but doing nothing doesn't fix it it just lets

yells at clouds mode which is my only mode i will finish with this very much on the same theme so before the iran war took over all of our social media feeds i wanted to talk about this last week and it just got and then it got drowned in all the more important news but there was this little human interest story that was circulating online as they tend to do there's some church in york pennsylvania that issued a policy pertaining to loud kids in their church their loud kid policy and they issued this policy they posted it online on facebook or something and this is going kind of semi viral before it got washed away in the torrent of more important news and most people are responding very positively to it because it's supposed to be heartwarming and very supportive of parents which i appreciate in theory but i want to read this this is from this church mount washington church it says effectively mediately we are committed to transparency and accountability in all matters of church life the following document outlines our comprehensive procedures regarding loud children in worship please consider this your official notice of policy clarification effective immediately if a family is considering visiting mount washington church and they have a loud kid the following options are available option one the family should bring the kid option two the family should make sure they bring the kid option three the family is to see that the child is brought to church option four the kid is absolutely welcome and expected we believe the sound of children in worship is not a distraction it is evidence of life growth and the future of the church if your child makes noise you are not bothering us you are blessing us policy enacted no exceptions so like i said people are responding very positively to this i appreciate the spirit of it inviting people to bring their kids very pro family i get it but i have to say and it may surprise you to hear me say this or maybe not but i but i strongly disagree loud children are unacceptable at church they are unacceptable actually in pretty much any social situation okay you're if you're a parent your loud kids are they're not acceptable they are actually annoying and bothersome and a burden to everybody else and they shouldn't be that is not to say that your children are not acceptable i'm not saying your children aren't welcome or you shouldn't bring them out or they shouldn't be able to participate certainly in worship or in anything else in your life they should and you should bring them bring them to the grocery store bring them to church bring them to a restaurant i'm all about that i bring my kids out places all the time i took them out to a restaurant last night but you shouldn't allow them to be loud and disruptive okay that's the part that i don't like so welcoming children yes welcoming loud children no and if i'm out in public somewhere i'm in a restaurant i'm at a church yes i'm very happy that you brought your kids but if they're being loud and you're worried the people around you are annoyed they are and they should be and that is not acceptable and this is the kind of thing that should not need to be explained it shouldn't even be a controversy and i made this point on x and people are disagreeing like what are you disagreeing with are you actually disagreeing no it is not acceptable to just let your kids be loud in public i they shouldn't have to explain this it is not okay take them out you say well what am i supposed to do take them out if you're out somewhere and your kids are being disruptive remove them from the situation take them out discipline them have consequences then maybe bring them in or if you can't get them under control leave and if it's a baby being loud you obviously aren't disciplining them but if they're having a crying fit and you're in any situation where you can leave the situation you should if you're on a plane obviously you can't it is what it is you're in a restaurant and they're crying take them out that is your responsibility and i don't want to hear any parents say i can't do that it's too much i have six kids i've done it many times you can't get that past me you cannot sneak that one past me any of the sob stories it's impossible i can't then i'm going to miss out well then you're going to miss out guess what we bring our kids out to restaurants all the time like i said and especially when they're younger we have you know sometimes they become disruptive and there have been plenty of times where it's like okay i guess i'm not eating like i guess i'm hey take get me something to go i got to bring this kid out to the out to the car i've done that many times i've done it many times because i'm not going to force everybody else to have to listen to us it's just just basic decorum this is just basic consideration of the people around you and it's bad for the kid it's awful for your child if he if he learns that he's allowed to behave this way in public awful for him it's awful for your kid it's awful for society it's awful for everybody in the room with him it's bad the only person it benefits is you because you're being lazy and you don't want to have to miss out on the meal or the movie or whatever they're your kids they're your responsibility you know we don't tolerate our kids being disruptive in public at all and the thing is when you when you raise your kids that way and that doesn't mean does that mean they're always perfect no as i said they might still be disruptive that's when they have to get taken out that's when there have to be punishments that's when you got to do all that stuff okay but when you when you are clear about this what will happen is that at a much younger age than you think you can have kids who are able to be quiet and not disruptive even in church you know at the age of four let's say your child should be able to sit in church for an hour and a half and not be disruptive one time by the age of four if not sooner if your kid can't do that it's because you have not put the work into making it happen that's what it means i'm sorry you know our youngest twins are they just turned three which really for church church wise that's the hardest age because they're obviously mobile they're verbal they they love to talk and but they're still not quite old enough to understand they just have no concept of time they don't you know all these things so it's like the hardest age for this kind of thing and but we bring them to church and and it's and it's two of them that's the other reason i have no i have no sympathy for these parents that have like one kid is being disruptive and they don't want to bring them out like well i don't know what to do with the one kid i got we got two three year olds and yeah it's tough but they get disruptive you bring them out you take them out of the church you know you do you do whatever and then and then maybe you bring them back in if you can get them under control or if you can't then you don't bring them back in there's a certain amount of low level noise that just comes with the territory for young kids who are like three years old but loudness no if either one of my kids are being loud at that age we they get taken out this idea that that you're that strangers should tolerate your loud children is not actually pro family because a properly ordered family is one where the children are not in charge the children do not get to do whatever they want if your children run the show in your family like i don't want to be around you i don't want to be around you or your family frankly if you're the kind of family that you're that the kids run the show like you're a walking disaster it's like it's like yeah it is burdensome to everybody all the time get your together get get it together reclaim authority in your family you're the parent it's dysfunctional yes i'm pro family but we should be pro properly ordered families pro functional families not pro families where the kids do whatever the hell they want because they run the show i think everybody agrees sixty or seventy years ago like pro family society it was such a pro family society sixty years ago you wouldn't even call it pro family it's just the way society was like of course it's pro family what else would you be right larger families on average and yet you didn't have kids running around in public and disrupting and disrupt disrespecting their parents and elders all the time loud children were not tolerated in the forties i can tell you that and the thing is that loud kids in public have come to annoy me more now i'm actually less tolerant with for it of it and less patient now than i was before i had kids because i think before i had kids i thought like ah yeah i know i maybe it's just impossible to get these kids under control i don't know i haven't been there well now that i have six i'm like no it's definitely possible what the hell are you people doing get it together like i was at a hotel in nashville recently going to a meeting in a conference room there really nice hotel very upscale like thousand dollars a night type hotel cathedral ceilings marble floors like the whole nine yards this family walks in actually it's three families and they each had like one or two kids and the kids are just running around the lobby like it's a like like it's a like it's a playground they're treating it like a playground it's exactly what my kids do on the playground or what my kids do if they go if they're out in the front yard playing a game just running around they're playing tag in the hotel lobby and the parents just not doing anything totally fine with it totally fine with it every person in that in that building is now disrupted because of your kids and you could do something about it but you refuse to because you want to sit there and drink a coffee in the lobby with your friends we see this i see it all the time we all see it everywhere and it's just it's not acceptable bring your kids out yes bring them out it's great to have kids included in society they should be but they also need to behave that is that is your responsibility so that's my that's my closing inspirational message tell your damn kids to shut up not really i mean actually yeah that is basically the message that'll do it for the show today thanks for watching thanks for listening talk to you tomorrow have a great day what do snow white cinderella and smallpox blankets have in common they're all fairy tales for decades you've been told that you live on stolen land we are right now on stolen land that the indians were peaceful native americans we massacred them your ancestors committed genocide and guess what none of it is true the native americans were some of the most savage fighters ever known to man raiding scalping torturing even eating enemies it was better to lose a battle to the us army than to get wiped out by a rival tribe and why did the story completely change in the nineteen sixties it turns out there's a lot more to the american indians than hollywood directors and school teachers want you to know this month we blow up the biggest myths about the american indians and reclaim the real history that was stolen from us this is the real history of of the american
