Ep. 1722 - The WEF Made One Thing Very Clear: If Democrats Win We Are Totally Screwed

Today on the Matt Wall Show, President Trump shows up at the W.E.F. to make world leaders uncomfortable while he openly disrespects them to their faces. It was pretty great. Also, a Somali woman claims she was assaulted by ICE and called the N-word. It sounds like a terrible thing that also definitely didn't happen. And a leftist journalist attacks me for not having a college degree. I'll explain why the glorification of college degrees is not only wrong and dumb, but also un-American. We'll talk about all that and more today on the Matt Wall Show. Normally, when our lizard overlords convene at the World Economic Forum in Davos every year, you know what to expect. If a Democrat is in power, everyone gets along. They bust out the flutes and do a little Gaia worship. They congratulate each other on another record year of mass migration, discuss their plans to create artificial meat allergies in a lab, and spread those allergies to millions of people via tick bites, and so on. As disturbing as it may be, it's not especially exciting to watch. On the other hand, if Donald Trump is in the house, it's always worth tuning in to the W.E.F. at least for a little bit. There are few spectacles in American political history quite like Trump crashing a party full of wealthy and powerful globalists who utterly despise him. They're a captive audience. They have to listen for more than an hour as Trump treats their orthodoxy, which they enforce in their home countries with censorship, public beatings, bank account seizures, as a complete joke, worthy of nothing but mockery. So those are the two possibilities when you watch the W.E.F. But you either get a boring and creepy affair or an event that's both entertaining and extremely awkward. But this year's W.E.F. was notable for another reason. Yes, it was entertaining, as we'll discuss in a moment. At the same time, this year's W.E.F. was also a clear signal that China, easily our most advanced adversary, has installed a puppet on our largest border. And this Chinese puppet, his name is Mark Carney, the former Goldman Sachs banker who, with financial ties to China, who currently serves as the prime minister of Canada, is now commencing military exercises to prepare for armed conflict with the U.S. as he openly advertises his country as a colony of China. The Chinese takeover of Canada at this point represents the greatest threat in our hemisphere since the Cuban Missile Crisis. So we'll start with Carney's remarks at the W.E.F. this week, followed by his comments in Beijing earlier this year. It's important to see both watch. We understand that this rupture calls for more than adaptation. It calls for honesty about the world as it is. We are taking the sign out of the window. We know the old order is not coming back. We shouldn't mourn it. Nostalgia is not a strategy. But we believe that from the fracture, we can build something bigger, better, stronger, or just. Mine is the first visit of a Canadian prime minister to China in nearly a decade. The world has changed much since that last visit. And I believe the progress that we have made in the partnership sets us up well for the new world order. Now, Carney says he recognizes that international law and the rules-based order are fake. All that matters, he says, is power. And of course, that's true. You know, the logical conclusion that he should draw is that he should immediately stop antagonizing the Trump administration because the United States is a superpower with nuclear weapons and an actual army that shares a border with Canada. He should immediately drop Canada's price controls on U.S. Dairy Imports along with all the other tariffs. He should stop funding state media outlets that demonize the U.S. He should speak out against the mass grave hoax that led to mass church burnings and commit to the freedom of speech and protest in Canada. And maybe most importantly, Carney should begin mass deportations like we're seeing in the U.S. His country is overrun with foreigners who are destroying the job market, the housing market, every other market. He should commit to secure in Canada's border, which would in turn help secure America's border. Instead of doing any of that, Carney is apparently attempting to ally with China, which is very far away, certainly too far away to assist in the event of a U.S. invasion of Canada. And the Secretary General of NATO, NATO for what it's worth, was the realist in the room. You recognize that U.S. power is dominant and that other countries, including Canada, depend on us for security. Watch. 75 percent of NATO GDP is outside the European Union. Let's not forget that's a fact. The U.S. is by far the most powerful nation on earth. And the President of the United States is therefore the leader of the free world and you cannot envision NATO without the leader of the free world being an integral part of that organization. And nobody wants it, not on the U.S. side, not on the European side. So why is Carney going out of his way to antagonize the United States and deny the reality of the power dynamic here, which the Secretary General of NATO just spelled out, not that anyone needed to spell it out. Well, no one in Canada actually voted for what Carney is doing, by the way. During the campaign, Carney's rhetoric was the exact opposite. Less than a year ago, Carney described China as the single biggest security threat facing Canada. Watch. Mr. Carney? Well, we're in a security section. I think we didn't have a chance to talk about anything internationally. I think the biggest security threat to Canada is China. You say? Yeah. And when he was asked to explain this about face recently, here's what Carney said. Hi, Prime Minister. I'm Sarah Ritchie with the Canadian Press. If you cast your mind back to April during the election campaign, I know it feels like a long time ago for me. You told Canadians that China was the biggest security threat to this country and to Canadians. Do you still believe that to be the case? I think we have to manage all our threats. There are a number of threats from a country mentioned, Russia. We have non-state actor threats, which are material. I guess one of the advantages of having your security clearance is you're better informed about some of the threats. And I highly recommend that anyone either in the position of responsibility or seeking it has their security clearance. Well, it doesn't make sense, obviously. It's an extremely awkward non-answer. The kind you'd give if you wanted to hide something or had no legitimate explanation for what you were doing. It's also an odd response because if you notice, Carney is afraid of even mentioning the word China. The reporter asks about China, and then Carney refers to China as the country you mentioned. Something similar happened at the WEF the other day. The interviewer mentions China and Russia, but Carney only addresses Russia. Watch. Trump says, oh, you know, Greenland's on the threat from Russia, even from China. Is that for real? I would say that there are threats. Russia is without question a threat in the Arctic, without question. Russia does lots of horrible things, and I'll take the opportunity to condemn their unjustified and horrific assault on Ukraine, almost at its fourth year. They are a real threat in the Arctic, one against what we need to protect, which is why we have 364 as five-day air, sea, and land presences, why we're adding to our submarine fleet, adding to our air fighter fleet, why we're building out over-the-brides and radar to protect from Russian missile threats and others, and why we will work with our NATO partners. Again, he's clearly skittish about even mentioning the word China less than a year after he labeled them the biggest threat facing his country. So what's going on here? Well, it turns out it's probably not that complicated. A company that Carney has a massive stake in called Brookfield owes the state Bank of China more than a quarter billion dollars. It's a quarter of a billion dollars. It's an awful lot of money. Part of a deal to refinance Brookfield's properties in Shanghai. As Yahoo Finance reported, quote, Carney's stake in Brookfield looks to be worth more than $10 million, around $3 million in Brookfield stock, and options worth about $6.8 million as of December, based on publicly available information. It's possible that he has additional holdings in Brookfield that are not subject to disclosure because the entities are not reporting issuers. And while Carney has put his assets in a blind trust since taking office, it's not really blind in any meaningful way. I mean, he knows what's in the trust, and he knows exactly what would make the asset perform better, namely selling out his country to China. Apparently, the only ethics restrictions on Carney are that, quote, he should be screened from involvement in any file directly implicating Brookfield, including if Brookfield was competing with others for government, business, or assets. That's it. As long as Carney isn't directly reporting, rather working on policy relating to Brookfield, he can sell his country out to China as much as he wants. That's exactly what's happening. Now with Carney in charge, Canada has announced that it will allow tens of thousands of Chinese-made electric vehicles to enter the auto market. Without a doubt, that move will devastate Canada's auto industry, which is one of the few lifelines in the country's already struggling economy, who also hurt companies in the US which have auto plants in Canada. But Carney doesn't care because, again, he's a Chinese puppet. He's not actually interested in representing Canadians. Doug Ford, who runs Ontario, knows exactly what's going to happen. So he's calling for a boycott of these Chinese vehicles. Watch. Moment ago, you said you're discouraging Canadians from buying one of the 49,000. Are you officially asking Canadians, Ontarians, to boycott any of the 49,000 Chinese-made EVs that come to Canada? That is exactly what I'm saying, Colin. So thank you for that. Say the word. So you're asking them to boycott? Yeah, boycott the Chinese EV vehicles. Support. Support companies that are building vehicles here. It's as simple as that. This is a team-Candidate approach. We've got to stick together. Now, for all of Doug Ford's faults, which are myriad, he doesn't sound like someone who has a massive financial stake in appeasing China, but Carney does have that financial stake. So Carney has also ordered the Canadian military to prepare for warfare with the U.S., a fight that, of course, would be over before it began. This is from the time, citing reports from Canada's Globe and Mail, quote, Canadian military chiefs have war-gamed a U.S. invasion and concluded that they'd be overpowered in two days. Canada's resistance would rely upon insurgency tactics, similar to those deployed by the Mujahideen in Afghanistan in the fight against the Soviet Union. Under the plans, which officials stressed were precautionary and hypothetical, forces would use asymmetric tactics whereby a weaker army attempts to counter a dominant force. Canada would rely on drone warfare, would also request assistance from European allies, namely the former imperial powers of Britain and France. Now, first of all, the two-day estimate is obviously a little optimistic. Two hours, probably more accurate. And that's if we stopped for like a two-hour lunch. And lest we forget, in the late 1990s, Canada's Air Force was dispatched to shoot down a rogue weather balloon, and several Canadian fighters fired 1,000 rounds at the balloon, which had no effect, according to the BBC. So the balloon continued to Iceland. They couldn't defeat a balloon in battle. So it's safe to say Canada won't be taking out our stealth bombers any time soon. And secondly, the idea of a Canadian insurgency, like what you find in Afghanistan, simply doesn't work. I mean, none of these people have guns for one thing. They've all been disarmed by the government. And on top of that, they're not jihadis. They're Canadians. Half of them sit around all day waiting for their government pensions to vest, and the other half are high. They're not going to fight a sustained battle for anything other than a bong. That doesn't mean that we should ignore Canada, because when they align with China, they become a genuine danger. The elites running Canada are deeply sinister people. In case you doubted that, here's a clip from the WEF in which Justin Trudeau, the former Prime Minister, who is now dating Katy Perry, laughs in the face of a reporter who describes someone who died after taking the COVID shot. Watch. Human rights of those who didn't want to get vaccinated. Yet some people have died as a result of this. Is that really a smirking matter? Why you pushed Canada to vaccinate the people? Pushing disinformation the way you have. What is disinformation? Responsible. What, that people have died? Why you pushed Canada to vaccinate the COVID vaccine? But that's not misinformation. My old cameraman's mother actually... I'm going to kill them and you pushed them into jail. My old cameraman's mother actually died after complications from the COVID vaccine. So is that misinformation? Oh, now you're laughing. Well, by the way, there's no debate anymore, even among the alleged, quote, unquote, experts that the COVID shot can cause heart inflammation. This inflammation can be fatal. Stanford Medical School just published a lengthy article about this phenomenon a month ago. Here's what they wrote, quote, vaccine-associated myocarditis occurs in about one in every 140,000 vaccines after a first dose and rises to one in 32,000 after a second dose. If the inflammation is severe, the resulting heart injury can be quite debilitating, leading to hospitalizations. I see you admissions for critically ill patients and deaths, albeit rarely. Well, and that's a very conservative estimate of the harms and dangers of the vaccine, of course, but that's what Justin Trudeau was laughing about. These are the people who claim they're following the science. And then many years later, when the science admits that the science actually murdered your friend's mother, they'll laugh in your face about it. At the WEF this year, these malicious freaks were met with a delegation from the Trump administration that focused entirely on advancing the interests of Americans. The administration's delegation didn't make overtures to foreign communists plotting our destruction. They didn't laugh about COVID deaths or dodge questions that might upset their paymasters. Instead, they delivered speeches like this one from Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick. This is easily one of the most important moments in the whole event. So we'll play it at some length. Here it is. Watch. You should start at a much higher level. Okay. We are in Davos at the World Economic Forum. And the Trump administration and myself, we are here to make a very clear point. Globalization has failed the West and the United States of America. It's a failed policy. It is what the WEF has stood for, which is export, offshore, far-shore, find the cheapest labor in the world, and the world is a better place for it. The fact is, it has left America behind. It has left the American workers behind. And what we are here to say is that America first is a different model, one that we encourage other countries to consider, which is that our workers come first. We can have policies that impact our workers. Sovereignty is your borders. You're entitled to have borders. You shouldn't offshore your medicine. You shouldn't offshore your semiconductors. You shouldn't offshore your entire industrial base and have it be hollowed out beneath you. You should not be dependent for that, which is fundamental to your sovereignty on any other nation. And if you're going to be dependent on someone, darn well better be your best allies. And so that is a different way of thinking. It is completely different than the WEF. I viewed the WEF as not a flagpole in the middle, but in fact, they are the flag, whichever way the wind blew, so it blew. You should have solar. You should have wind. Why are you going to do solar and wind? Why would Europe agree to be net zero in 2030 when they don't make a battery? They don't make a battery. So if they go 2030, they are deciding to be subservient to China who makes the batteries. Now, as if to prove Latinx point, European leaders stood up at the WEF one after another and begged China to become more involved in their countries. This was the president of France, for example. China is welcome. But what we need is more Chinese foreign-diet investment in Europe in some key sectors to contribute to our growth, to transfer some technologies, and not just to export towards Europe some devices or produce, which sometimes don't have the same standards or are much more subsidized as the ones being produced in Europe. Now, there's a reason that you never see Xi Jinping appear like this in public. It's not just because he doesn't have a boyfriend who beats him up all the time. It's because he takes himself and his position seriously. You couldn't pay him any amount of money to go out in public looking like a character from Zoolander. In fact, if you try to draw a cartoon that makes Xi Jinping look like a character from Zoolander, they'll throw you in prison and no one will ever hear from you again. But in Europe and Canada, the humiliation rituals are a daily part of political life. For his part, like several other past and present European leaders, Macron doesn't have any children, so he's not concerned about the ramifications of his policies on future generations. That's why many of these leaders are happy to beclown themselves, offer their countries up as Chinese colonies, rather than defend the interests of their own people. They have no stake in the future of their own countries. They have no children. That's been a disaster for the West. In his own remarks, Trump made that clear again and again. Watch. Here in Europe, we've seen the fate that the radical left tried to impose on America. They tried very hard. Germany now generates 22% less electricity than it did in 2017. And it's not the current chancellor's fault. He's solving the problem. He's going to do a great job. But what they did before he got there, I guess that's why he got there. And electricity prices are 64% higher. The United Kingdom produces just one third of the total energy from all sources that it did in 1999. Think of that, one third. And they're sitting on top of the North Sea, one of the greatest reserves anywhere in the world. Certain places in Europe are not even recognizable, frankly, anymore. They're not recognizable. And we can argue about it, but there's no argument. Friends come back from different places. I don't want to insult anybody and say I don't recognize it. And that's not in a positive way. That's in a very negative way. And I love Europe, and I want to see Europe go good. But it's not heading in the right direction. In recent, they should be grateful to us. Canada. Canada lives because of the United States. Think of that, Mark, the next time you make your statements. Now, in response to the Trump administration's remarks at the WEF, Democrats sent a handful of speakers to make it clear that if Democrats ever return to power, they will allow the WEF to take control over the most important institutions in the United States. The head of the largest teachers union in the country, Randy Weingarten, outlined her plan to allow the WEF to dictate the public school curriculum in America. Weingarten, of course, is the same woman who kept schools closed during the COVID lockdowns for no reason whatsoever other than to extract more payouts for the union. And here she is now. You also have to create a curriculum, and you have to create this engagement with each other. And the last thing I'll say is this. When you do it, in the United States of America, we have 16,000 school districts. We have over 100,000 schools. There are industry partners all over. And you, Kiva, were the one who said, you can't keep on doing this industry by industry. You are the one who said, you can't keep on doing this governor by governor. How do we use the WEF to create this kind of integrated network so that we're all working together so that kids can have, from high school on, opportunities to have jobs that pay a living wage so that they can feed their family and nurture their family? And that is what happens in advanced manufacturing. So I'm honored that we are part of the creation of that curriculum, and we are all in. This arrangement has been in the works for quite some time. This is a New York Post report from last summer, quote, Weingarten announced a partnership with the Globalist World Economic Forum to craft a new curriculum for America schools. The union has been edging up to this alliance when its members passed a resolution this spring calling for climate, smart, and sustainable schools. They explicitly cited the WF as part of a push to integrate the curriculum to facilitate comprehensive energy reduction. Weingarten would have no problem implementing this curriculum if the Democrats, most likely candidate in 2028 Gavin Newsom, wins the election. Newsom is also in Davos, where he's been attacking various countries, not for their fealty to China, of course, but for not sticking up to or standing up to Donald Trump. Watch. I can't take this complicity. People rolling over. I should have brought a bunch of knee pads for all the world leaders. I mean, handing out crowns and handing. I mean, this is pathetic. Nobel Prizes, they are being given away. I mean, it's just pathetic. And I hope people understand how pathetic they look on the world stage. I mean, at least from an American perspective, it's embarrassing. It's time to buck up. It's time to get serious and stop being complicit. It's time to stand tall and firm, have a backbone. You know. Now, throughout the WF, the Trump administration, along with Argentina, has been one of the only delegations that talked exclusively about the interests of their own people instead of China's. But Gavin Newsom isn't concerned about Canada or France bending the need to China. It's only concerned about how other countries in his view are bending the need to Trump. And that tells you all you need to know about how Gavin Newsom will govern if he wins the presidency. God forbid. He'll do everything in his power to transform the U.S. into a ward of China, just like Canada. In this respect, there will be total alignment among the teachers union, the Democrat Party, and our largest trading partner to the North. There will be no resistance whatsoever against a full-scale Chinese takeover of this continent, an outcome that Mark Carney himself warned about less than a year ago. To the extent that the WF EF can ever be described as worthwhile. It was worthwhile this year because it established exactly what's at stake in three years. We can remain a sovereign, independent nation. Or like Carney's Canada, we can surrender to a communist government that will empower the leftists who have already destroyed so much of this country.

This Daily Wire reports federal authorities arrested two alleged agitators who participated in the anti-ice mob that stormed a church service in St. Paul, Minnesota on Sunday. Attorney General Pam Bonny first announced on Thursday morning that agents with the FBI and Homeland Security Investigations nabbed Black Lives Matter activists Nakima Levy-Armstrong, who was accused of playing a key role in organizing the coordinated attack. Minutes later, Bonny said that they'd also arrested Chantil Luisa Allen, who leads Black Lives Matter Twin Cities and serves on St. Paul Public School Board. The group allegedly stormed a church service harassed worshipers. Then termination officials have pledged to make arrests and use the FACE Act, which has long been weaponized against pro-lifers to prosecute the protesters, including CNN anchor Don Lemon. Hopefully, just the beginning, and as we know, Don Lemon needs to be the next to fall. Everybody who stormed the church needs to be arrested, and we're moving in that direction now, which is great. This is something that, you know, this, I'm sure comes as an absolute shock to these people. They never thought that this would happen. And you can see why. I mean, understandably, these are the same people, BLM, in Minnesota. It's the same group that stormed a police station and burned it to the ground. Right? This is a group that burned entire city blocks and never faced really any consequence for it. So, that's what they've grown accustomed to. That they can just do whatever they want, and they're not going to get in trouble. That's why they can cause play as revolutionaries. That's why you have these middle-aged women on TikTok who are, you know, talking a big game and pretending that they're in the Hunger Games or something, pretending that they're, or whatever, one of the three movies that they know about, or books that they know about, that they're up against a Voldemort or something. And they can play this game, because to them it is just a game. The idea that there'll be any actual consequences is what we saw with Renee Good, who's all a game to her. Yeah, you know, I can just block traffic. I can do whatever I want. You know, I can do what I want. I'm a leftist. I'm a woman. Oh, nothing's going to happen to me. Hey, I can run into this cop. Nothing's going to happen to me. Well, what they're now discovering is that there are consequences for their actions, and they were not prepared for that. And they're all going to melt down. I mean, the whole thing falls apart. Once you start putting some consequences in place, the whole thing falls apart for them, because they were not ready for this. They didn't, they don't want this, obviously. And these are not, so the point is these are not like the kinds of radical revolutionaries who, when you arrest them, it still doesn't dissuade them because they knew that was going to happen. Like they, they were prepared for that. And so this is exactly what they knew was going to happen. That's not the case for these people. They're doing all of this under the assumption that nothing will happen to them. And now they're discovering that that's not the case.

CBS News reports Nazra Ahmed came to the podium in the Minnesota State Capitol Press Briefing Room on Wednesday with bandages still in her head explaining it was hard to speak given the concussion that the American, quote unquote, said she sustained thanks to ice. I got kidnapped by ice. Ahmed said that's the story. Nazra Ahmed said she was kidnapped by ice, but it doesn't stop there. They actually, they assaulted her and they started yelling racial slurs at her. She says, here she is telling her sob story. We're following these two men and I was waiting for these two men to hold the door for me and I told them, Hey, hey, can you hold the door for me? And I walked right in the middle and when I was in the middle, ice came, they came out of their cars, they asked me to see my ID. And while they were asking me to see the ID, they just decided it was nice to be racist and say really nasty things to me. And yeah, that man, he called me, he called me the Edward and he called me that and then he arrested me. They arrested me. It was multiple people. They used a lot of force to arrest me. I actually got a scab that was a healing while I was in jail, but they pushed me hard. They used a lot of violence. My body still hurts. I got a concussion. It's really hard for me to speak because of that concussion. They were just using a lot of force to arrest me and I was screaming. I was crying. I was so scared. I've like never been arrested in my life. I've never, I don't have like a criminal record. I have a clean record. It was just, and then that detainment, I was detained. I was literal cuffs to put on my legs, cuffs on my hands and I was actually detained with a Native American woman. And God bless her heart. She went through a lot too. She was also detained by ICE and she was also a U.S. citizen like me. She had gashes on her face. They shattered her windows. She had blood on her jeans, her corduroy jeans and she was crying because she was so scared of it. Yeah. I love how you could, you could just see her making it up as she goes along. You think you'd at least have the story ready when you get up there at the press conference? It's not like you were taken by surprise here. So you think you'd have the story ready. You could just see her making it up. You could see her just inventing the story as she, yeah. So they arrested me and then, yeah, I got a concussion. So they threw, well, I fell and they went up, I mean, they threw me and I got a concussion and then they decided that it'd be really nice to say racial slurs and they did that too. Yeah. They said racial slurs. They said the N-word. They said it, well, three times. They said it like two and a half times, like two and a half to three times. And then they picked me up and they body slammed me too. And then they actually cut my head off. Actually, they sewed it back on. That's the other thing. So they sewed it back on. And yeah, it was pretty tough. So I love the band aid there too. I love how she's got that. It's like a nice touch, the cartoonish band. It's like a band aid that a cartoon character wears, you know, when they fall over and the bump grows on their head, you know, and they, and there's stars around their head. I guarantee you take that band aid off and there's nothing under there. I mean, nothing under like, nothing inside her skull either in terms of a brain, but I mean, there's nothing, there's no, a tiny scrape at most. And of course she has a concussion and because having a concussion is great because it's, there's no way to prove you don't have it. Right. There's no way. If someone, you go to the doctor and say you have concussion symptoms, then the doctor's going to ask you your symptoms and then say, okay, well, I guess you have a concussion. You have the symptoms, you have a concussion, right? That's the way it goes. It gets very hard to prove you don't have one. It's just like anytime someone gets into a fender bender, if the other person's at fault, they immediately go, oh, my neck. Yeah, I got some whiplash. I don't know. Yeah. And the neck really hurts. There's no way to prove it doesn't hurt. I mean, it's, it's okay. So it hurts. Um, and then she claims she was, she was called the N word, which is fascinating. It's fascinating that these ice officers are constantly on video, video constantly being recorded and yet nobody caught that on tape. You've got mobs of people out there filming everything that these ice officers do waiting for this moment. That's why they're all there waiting for one of these guys to do something or say something explicitly racist. They're begging for it. I mean, this, this, they're, these are what they're basically out there. They're like, um, treasure hunters. They're like the guys with the metal detectors out on the beach. You know, and all they ever do is find bottle caps. They're just waiting for that time when actually, oh, wow, it's like a coin from the 1840s. And it's like the big foot hunter. A big foot hunter is out for decades in the woods looking for big hut, big foot. And then one day, big foot just strolls by and waves hello. And the guy doesn't have his camera on him. And that's what it's like for these, these ice agitators. They're waiting for someone in ice to do something racist. And then they finally get the moment when an ice officer body slams of a, you know, a black woman in a burka and calls her the N word and they didn't get it on camera. Oh man. Talk, talk about bad luck. Geez. So look, this is clearly bogus. I don't believe any part of it for even a second. Um, because keep this in mind also, leftists are well known for their hoaxes, as we know. And Somalis are notorious for being scam artists. So combine those two, leftist and Somali, and it's the perfect storm of phoniness. It's like, what was it in Power Rangers where all the Power Rangers combined to make the big, the big super robot, the Megazord. This is the Megazord, right? This is the con artist Megazord Somali, leftist woman. You combine all that together and you've got, I'm just kidding, not really, but, uh, you've got someone you just can't trust.

She spends her days talking, complaining, gossiping and doing it all on camera on her podcast or on other people's podcasts, fighting new ways to embarrass herself and her husband. And we have two clips here that are related, but here's the latest watch. That was a dean of students. I was like, oh, you guys, I, all of that just disappeared in the course of this whole election. And you now see me as just Barack Obama's wife. So that made me say, what, that, that quickly my shoes become the most important thing about me. Right. And again, not unique to me. It can happen to the best of us. So I shied away from fashion leading the conversation, but I knew I couldn't, I didn't completely control it. So let's lean in. Now we'll talk about that in a moment, but in the same conversation before or after, I don't know, she, she said that she had another complaint that she wanted to bring to the table of related complaint. Here it is. But as my popularity rose, I was being covered more. Right. And so the press enters the scene and there are now reports. Right. And the first thing after all this great conversation and connection, the top of the article would be she was wearing, you know, not my education, not my, you know, not my professional career. Okay. So she's upset because when she was first lady, all anybody wanted to talk about, as it pertain to her, was, were her outfits and that she was Barack Obama's wife. And now the irony here, of course, is that she was on that very podcast promoting a book called The Look that she's selling where it's a bunch of pictures of her wearing outfits. So she wants to be known for more than her outfits. And yet here she is with a book where it's just, I want to know, I want to be known for more than my clothing. And to learn more about that by this book where it's all my clothing. And so that, that doesn't make a lot of sense, but let's put the outfits to the side. Personally, I don't think her outfits are all that impressive. I mean, I'm not a style guru. Well, I sort of am. Some would say, some would say that I'm a fashion expert. But let's leave that to the side. Her real complaint, one of several dozen that she has lodged publicly in just the last week, is that she was known just as Barack Obama's wife. She was his trophy wife, which makes you wonder what contest in hell did Barack Obama win to borrow a line from Everybody Loves Raymond. And I find it very funny because first of all, your Barack Obama's wife, using the term wife loosely here, but let's go with it. Your Barack Obama's wife, what else do you want people to say about you? What other interesting facts are there about you? She says, well, my education, I was dean of students. Okay, so, because actually looked this up. I, I, I said, I went to, I took her out of word and I went to her Wikipedia. And I said, all right, well, it sounds like she had a really fascinating life before she married. Apparently, she thinks she's a fascinating person. So let me see what's up with this person. Well, you got a bachelor's in sociology and you minored in African studies, of course. And then you got an, you got an affirmative action law degree. Wow, fascinating. Wow, that is interesting, Michelle. What else do you want us to say about that? You're upset that people weren't talking about that? What is there to say? Breaking news. Michelle Obama has college degree. World changed forever. Breaking. Black woman has degree. And she's a black woman. And she's a black woman. And she's a black woman. Breaking. Black woman has degree in sociology. Like, I don't know. Breaking news. Michelle Obama has read some books. Maybe. Confirmed. Michelle Obama can read. I mean, that may, that's maybe a surprising headline, but once you get past that, I don't know what else there is to say. So here's the problem, Michelle. Those things are not remotely interesting or impressive. Michelle wants everyone to talk about the facts of her life that have nothing to do with Barak. But if we do that, then we're just not going to talk about you at all. Because that is the one and only fact that is at all interesting. Her life story, if Wikipedia is any guide, her life story is that she went to college. I'll tell you the whole, I'll give you the whole spoiler alert, you know, so when the movie comes out, you're not, I'm going to ruin it for you. But her whole, her life story is that she's a black woman. She went to college. She became a lawyer for a few years and then she worked in government. And then she worked in academia. And that's it. Like that's the whole, that's the prequel. Before we get to Michelle Obama as Barack Obama's wife, the prequels story is that. And it's basically the career path of every upper class liberal woman who's ever lived. So that, that's her story. It's the story of every upper class liberal woman of all time. The career path of every bureaucrat. Okay, the career path of all of the least impressive humans who've ever walked the earth is Michelle Obama's career. And then she gets married to a guy and that guy becomes president. And yeah, looking at that biography by far, the most interesting thing is the last bit. Where she became the wife of a guy who became president. Like, sorry, Michelle, that's the most interesting thing about you. To the extent that there's anything interesting, it's that you're the wife of a guy who's president. If not for that, you're, nobody knows you. Nobody would know your name. If not for that, you would be right now working either in an HR department somewhere or in some faculty at a mid-sized university. That's as far as you would go. Your name, Michelle, will be in the history books. Not, it won't, not prominently, but it will be mentioned. And that is solely, only, thanks to your husband. And this is why men have to be very careful. And you know that I'm a big proponent of marriage. Definitely go get married. Can't recommend it highly enough. But you don't want to end up with a Michelle Obama. But you don't want to end up with a Michelle Obama. And now granted, there's little chance of that if you have eyes. But you know, that would give you enough incentive not to end up with a Michelle Obama. But I mean, even aside from that, I'm saying you don't want to end up with a woman who is resentful of your success and envious. And wants to tear you down because she doesn't want you to be the star. You know, she doesn't want to be defined. Like this is the thing you hear from feminist women all the time who are married. I don't want to be defined. I don't want to be defined by my relationship to my husband or to my kids. I don't want to be defined as a wife or a mother. I tell you right now, you hear a woman who says that. You hear that? Ron, as far as you can. You're at dinner on a first date and a woman says anything like that. Like, yeah, you know, I want to get married one day, but I don't want to be defined by that. Get up from the table and sprint out of the restaurant. Like she'll pay for it. She's an independent woman, right? She's a strong, she'll pay for it. Don't worry about it. Just get up like right then and there. Don't even say anything. Especially if you're a man of ambition, if you're a man who wants to achieve great things, you cannot have a wife who undercuts, who sneers, who doubts you, who roots for you to fail. You know, this is pretty common. When you get to know a lot of prominent men, successful men, you find that this kind of dynamic is common. I mean, I'm not going to say it's certainly not universal, but it is common. A lot of women, even the supposedly conservative ones, are infected with this feminist disease where, when it comes down to it, they don't want to be seen as secondary. They don't want to be seen as mere helpmates to their husbands. They want to be the star. But the good news is that it's actually very easy to identify these women. That's always my... We could talk about the problem with these modern feminist type women and we should talk about that. But the conclusion is not, well, this is why you can't get married because you never know. You could end up with a woman like this. No, you know. Okay, if you have any common sense, if you're a discerning person at all, it's really easy to tell. It's... You're not going to be fooled. At least that's not... That would be a rare case. It's very easy to identify these women. It's not difficult. You know, you want a wife who roots for you, a wife who's your number one fan. This is one of the most important and most underrated traits that a man needs in a wife. A wife who wants to see him succeed and is proud of him and believes in him. You want your wife to go around bragging about you. That's how you know there's a healthy marriage. It's not just that the spouses don't undercut each other and talk down about each other when they're not around him. Obviously, that's a huge red flag. But even aside from that, you know, you see a woman who like brags about her husband, almost to an annoying extent sometimes. That's a very healthy marriage and that's what you want. Not this Michelle Obama thing, which is the opposite. Like when's the last time we've heard Michelle Obama brag about her incredibly successful world famous husband? She's married to one of the most famous men who've ever lived on the planet. And I'm no Barack Obama fan. I think he's going to go down as the most consequential in a bad way. The worst president, certainly in American history to this point. The one who has given us the worst consequences. And yet still, even so, obviously a man of great achievement. And when's the last time you have heard her brag about him? I don't think she ever has. Is there a single interview where Michelle Obama at any stage in her career has expressed any real pride in her husband? Has appeared to have any real affection for him or be proud of him at all? Or impressed by his achievements? You know, that's the red flag. That's what you want. And again, the good news is it's pretty easy to identify. Like I've told the origin story of my marriage plenty of times. When I met my wife, I was broke, 20 grand a year I was making, living in a small apartment, lying on the mattress on the floor, listening to the domestic disputes of the apartment below me at night. Cop show up, driving a used Hyundai accent with a missing hubcap, like the whole deal. Luxurious situation that my wife married into. But when I would tell her about my dreams, about my goals, about everything that I wanted to do, it's she believed me and she was rooting for me. And it's not like that was easy to do. If I had looked at myself back then, I wouldn't have believed any of that. I would have said, yeah, sure, sure, you're going to do all that. But she believed it. And even now today, still today, if I have a win, if I achieve something, if something good happens, everyone in our families will know about it within about five seconds because she'll call everyone or text them and tell them very proudly. And that's what you want. And those kind of women are out there. The only resentment that my wife feels tied to my career is towards people that she thinks don't treat me fairly or give me enough credit or whatever. But she'll just despise those people. There are people who have slighted me in the past and in a way that maybe I think is not the biggest deal and I've kind of moved on from it. To me, it's water under the bridge. My wife will just never forget it. Never forget that. And we'll just despise that person forever. So that's what you want, a woman who will root for you, fight for you, have your back. The exact opposite. Just look at Michelle Obama and the way she talks about her husband and then say, I want that. But precisely the opposite. I just, this is my blueprint, but just flip it upside down. And that's what I'm looking for. You know, when you can just tell someone put real craftsmanship into a product rather than shipping some cheaply made junk from China, real quality is exactly what you get with bowl and branches, bedding, bowl and branches, signature sheets and waffle bed blanket are the bedding essentials you need.

I can't help but take advantage and I fully believe in taking the softballs. You got to take the softballs when you get them. So Zahid Jilani is a guy who works in media. I think he's bounced around various different leftist rags. And I think just to give you an idea of what he looks like because it's important to kind of put everything in perspective. So here's what he looks like by the way. And by the way, I'm not cherry picking an unflattering photo. I didn't do that. I didn't go and everybody has unflattering photos. Believe me, I know. But this was the photo, his profile photo, like his author photo on one of the sites that he wrote for. This is the one they joke. I mean, you might look at that and assume that it's a mugshot of some low level Al Qaeda operative. We just got pulled out of a cave somewhere. But it's not just to be clear. And if you do say that about Zahid, how dare you? I would never say that. That's racist. You should not say that. I'm not saying it. I'm just saying that if you say that, you shouldn't. And some people would say it anyway. So Zahid's not a fan of mine. He attacks me all the time. Constantly like nipping, begging for my attention. He's a leftist in media. So of course he hates me. Those people despise me most of all and we'll see why in a second. A couple of days ago he tweeted this. This is in response to some other person who was tweeting about Nick Shirley. And of course Nick Shirley who gave us that great investigative report about the Somali scammers in Minnesota. And this person was claiming that Nick Shirley is a high school dropout. Which apparently he isn't. Now there's a community note under it saying it's not true. But I look at that. I don't know if it was true or not. So I saw that. I saw that. I'm like, well, if he's a high school dropout, that's an, wow, that's impressive. To me, that's even more impressive. So I'm already impressed with Nick Shirley because he's done great work. Now you tell me that, well, he was a high school dropout. I say, wow, like good for him. That's even better. He's a high school dropout. And now he's like one of the most important investigative journalists in the country. At the age of what, like 22, 23. That's an incredible story. I'm really impressed by that. Turns out it turns out he was not a high school dropout. So that's a lie. Nick Shirley is still a very impressive guy. And so Zayed responds and drags me into it because he's always thinking about me. He says, Matt Walsh constantly yells about how superior he is to the third world. Yet he never attended college or apparently has worked as anything but a guy yelling his opinions to the world. He should start in Avengers of undereducated, underachiever pundits. All right. Now I want to talk about the college piece of this, which is the most interesting part. But like I said, it's a softball. I have to take it because first of all, he does the whole like, well, Matt just yells his opinions thing, calls me an underachiever. He's going, he's going with the, you know, Matt doesn't have a real job line of attack, which fine. I hear that all the time. And look, I do a hour long commentary show every day. I've made two movies. I've published four books. We just put out a history documentary series. We've worked on getting legislation passed, policy changes, activism, public speaking rallies. I mean, you know, I work pretty hard. I think I do quite a lot. Some would say I don't have a job. Sometimes I feel like I have like four jobs. But, but look, if you, if you're a brain surgeon or something and you want to look down on me, then I totally get it. If you're a plumber or an electrician or something like that, you can look at what I do and say, well, that, that is not as fundamentally important to civilization, right? As, as, as, as what you do, which is true. Like if civilization falls apart and we're rebuilding it from scratch and we start thinking about what, what roles do we have to fill right away in order to make this thing work? Well, if you're a plumber, electrician, somebody, a doctor, like we got to fill your roles right away. You guys are in front of the line. We got to, we got to get that going because we can't have a civilization without you guys. I think what I do is that's much farther downstream. I'll, I'll fully admit. If you're a truck driver and, and you say, hey, if I stop, if we all stop going to work in my industry, then the whole country collapses. And if you stop going to work, you know, in the media, then the country will survive just fine. Again, that's totally fair. But, and true. And I would agree with it. But if you also work in media, which he does, then that attack just doesn't land. There are people who can do that with me, but not you. So this is a guy who works in media talking down to me for being in media, calling me an underachiever, even though I'm probably about a thousand times more successful than he is in our shared industry, which is funny to me. And it's also funny because the people who do this, like, well, you talk for a living, you're an underachiever, nine times out of 10, they're also in media. And it's like, well, you, we do the same thing. I'm just better at it than you and more successful. Let's leave that aside. I want to talk about the college degree part of this. And there's a whole discussion that has been sparked on social media about how this, you know, about, about this now. Thanks to this post from Zaid. Most of people just dunking on him and for good reason, but it's an important discussion. And there are two points I want to make. And so Zaid says that I can't be superior to the third world and I can't be a very impressive person because I didn't go to college. And this again, something I hear all the time. If you didn't go to college, you hear it all the time. This kind of snobbery, right? This scoffing people do. If you didn't even go to college and leftist like to bring this up all the time, especially leftist. My fellow media people who are on the left like to bring this up. But there are two points to make. First, and I've seen other people point this out so I can't get credit for this insight. I've seen other people bringing this up. And it's a great point, which is that this is actually very third world coded. You know, this assertion that a college degree is an achievement in and of itself, along with being false is very un-American. It's very foreign in a literal sense. Like if I read that tweet and I didn't know who wrote it, I would assume it was written by a guy with a name like Zaid. Because this is a foreigner's mentality. They come from cultures where just simply going to college and getting a piece of paper, the degree itself is a major achievement. It's a status symbol. It's kind of their idea of Western success. People from foreign countries outside of the West, they dream not just of success, but of Western success. And to them, the pinnacle is to get a college degree, you know, to have that status symbol. But the American mentality is not that. You know, the American mentality, which Zaid Jalani just doesn't understand because he's not an American. But the American mentality has always been about doing. Americans admire people who go out and achieve things, create things, do things. America has never been a culture of credentialism. We are the inheritors of a country built by pioneers, explorers, men of action. You know, when we think about the great men in American history, we're not thinking about their credentials. We don't care. And many of the great men of American history didn't go to college. Some of them dropped out of high school. Right. Henry Ford, Walt Disney, George Washington didn't go to college. Thomas Edison hardly had any formal education. And in more modern times, this is especially the case, Steve Jobs was a college dropout. A lot of the most successful businessmen in America today, Bill Gates, Zuckerberg, it's a really long list. And when you think about the successful people who did go to college, like think about Elon Musk, right, the most successful, richest person in the world. Does anyone think that, I mean, he has a bachelor's degree. I think he has two bachelor's degrees. Does anyone think his bachelor's degree has anything at all to do with the fact that he is now the richest and most successful man in the world? No, he could have skipped college and he'd still be in the spot he is today. And I don't think anyone would doubt. Certainly, I doubt, I don't think that he himself would say otherwise. So this glamorization of the college degree is not only dumb, but also, and it's, it isn't said enough. It's not American. America is a country of underdogs and outside the box thinkers who choose not to follow the assigned path, the safe path and achieve success in spite of it or because of it. I'm not saying it's un-American to go to college. Obviously, I'm saying it's un-American to glamorize the college degree or to denigrate someone for not having it. Especially if, in the case of Zayi, like, especially if the person you're denigrating is by every metric more successful than you. It is very American for a man to say, okay, here's what I want to achieve. I'm not going to go to college to achieve it. I'm going to go my own way. I'm going to follow my own path. I'm going to do this the way that I want to do it. And if I fail, I'll fail on my own terms. If I succeed, I'll succeed on my own terms. Like, that is American. That is quintessentially American. The most American thing, you know, here's the most American thing. It's to choose what you care about in life. Choose what you want to do, whatever it is. And go do it and be great at it. Be the best at it. It's not to pursue credentials or to get into a quote-unquote respectable line of work just because it's respectable. It's to pursue greatness on whatever path you choose, right? Whatever path it is. And however you measure greatness, which does not have to have anything to do with money or anything else. You know, that's why, like, I would admire a MB impressed by a great ping pong player over a mediocre doctor. And we all feel that way, actually. That's why there's a hit movie right now about a guy pursuing ping pong greatness. There's never going to be a hit movie about a mediocre guy who gets a degree, becomes kind of a middling doctor, not especially great, and then just, like, dies. Nobody wants to watch that. They want to watch Whiplash about a guy who's obsessively pursuing greatness and his goal to become the greatest jazz drummer in history. I don't even like jazz. I don't care about drumming, but I want to see that story. That's an American story. And if that sounds foreign to you, it's because you are foreign. So that's the first thing. The fetishization of college degrees is very foreign coded, very third world coded. Second, on the subject of college, you know, you guys know my take on it. And if somehow you don't, I'll give it again. I think that there are certain fields that legitimately require a college degree. If you want to be a doctor, if you want to be a lawyer, if you want to be an engineer, something like that, then yeah, you need to go to college. Although, even in that case, the impressive thing is not getting the degree. So you say, I have a medical degree. Who cares? That's good for you. Now, go out, take your medical degree, go get a job as a doctor, operate on a human brain successfully. Now I'm impressed. Now I look at that and say, well, that's something I could never do. I don't even know. I can't even, I can't wrap my mind around that. The degree helped you get to that point. But the thing that's impressive, the thing that is the achievement, is the doing, the doing part, is that you went and did this thing. That's the impressive part. And outside of these relatively limited number of fields, you know, a college degree has always been a waste of time and money and is now more than ever. This is where the world is moving. Yeah, on the point of college is moving more in my direction and away from people like Zaid. If you want to have success in the world, you need to figure out what you're good at, what you're passionate about, what your vocation is. And then that is what God wants you to do with your life. And then develop the skills to succeed in that space. And in many cases, leaving aside the professions where the degree is obviously necessary. In many cases, going to college will not only not help you figure out your vocation and then develop the skills necessary to pursue it, but it will interfere with that process. Or at best delay it. So, you know, take the industry that, that mean, both me and Zaid are in media. The only thing that matters in this world, only thing is whether you can create content that people find compelling. That's it. That's what separates success from failure. And Zaid can't do that, which is why he has a, you know, a mediocre career nobody really cares what he has to say or knows who he is. If you, if you find a piece of content compelling, you never think to yourself, well, wait a minute, did the person who made this, did they have a college degree? Let me check his resume. All right, let me go to LinkedIn and see what you never do that. And it's the same way in many industries. The question is whether you can do the thing and do it well. And if you can, no one questions it. Nobody questions that. If you can do it, and people see it and like, well, that guy's good at that. That doesn't matter what the background is or how you do it. It's like, that doesn't matter. You can do it. Now, one last point about this, there is an argument from the other side. There's one argument that gives me pause and that makes me kind of slow down, slow my role a bit in my anti college, Jihad only briefly. And that's when someone says, well, yeah, you don't need college most of the time. Yeah, most degrees will never be used. Like most of the degrees these people get, you're never going to use it in any way. Yeah, all that's true, but education is valuable for its own sake. And this thing where you have to use a degree in order for it to be worthwhile is kind of materialistic and shallow. Because education is good for the soul. It makes you a better person, makes you a smarter person. It's worth doing for its own sake. And, you know, I think that's true. And I agree with that. The problem is that to begin with the education offered at many of these institutions is bad and often just false. But even if it's not, there's plenty of institutions that provide a good education. Even if it's a good education, well, here's the thing. It's all backwards, right? Unless you're a trust fund kid and you're set for life. And okay, fine. But if you're not, you can't afford to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars and four years of your life at the front end of adulthood. Just learning for the sake of learning. You can't afford to take a four year sabbatical at the age of 18 and go into three decades worth of debt to just learn stuff for the sake of personal enrichment. I mean, that's crazy. What kind of plan is that? Hey kid, you have no money, no job, no prospects, no idea what you want to do with your life. So why don't you put your whole life on hold for four years, assuming it's a staggering amount of debt all to aimlessly acquire an education about it. Nothing in particular for no specific purpose. I mean, that is a crazy approach. It's crazy. It doesn't make any sense. And it's also not achieving, like, is it actually achieving the goal of leaving aside jobs and all the rest of it? Is it achieving the goal of creating like generations of Americans who are really well read and educated and smart and interesting and insightful people? Obviously not. So I think the approach is backwards. What makes the most sense as a young adult, unless you specifically need a degree, is to graduate high school, continue your education on your own terms. Like, I mean, reading and learning in your spare time, because that's the thing. We also have access to all the knowledge and human history through an internet connection. So do that. And in the meantime, like pursue success by actually doing it. Doing the thing, whatever it is, the thing that you want to do. And then once you achieve that success and you have some money and you've survived the early stages of adulthood and you're not crushed by debt and you have all these things, then if you want to go and get more formal education just for the sake of it, then you're not crushed by debt and you have all these things. Then if you want to go and get more formal education just for the sake of it, just for personal enrichment, you can do that at that point. In fact, this will shock you to hear, but I may go to college eventually. And let that actually go. Like, I'm not going to go attend. That would be funny. That would be actually be very funny for me to go on campus and just become a college student. I might get a little chaotic, but no, one of these days I may take some online classes and get a degree in something just for the education, like not to, I won't use it for anything. I don't need it. I'm well established in my career. I don't need any credentials. I'm not going to do any good professionally, but just to have it. I don't know, like just to have the education, just to learn. And, you know, in my spare time, I'll watch lectures all the time. That's one of the things because I'm a boring person. So I'll sit and watch a lecture and I've watched and I had this thought the other day. I'm watching one on some, you know, history subject and I'm thinking like if I, if I have enough credits here that I could just have a degree. I don't have a, and so I've had that thought. But that's what you do at the, that's, that's the kind of thing you do when you have the luxury to do it. And, and, and at that point it's, it's fine. You know, you're not taking on, but taking on enormous amount of debts of debt when you have a net worth of zero already just to learn stuff for four years does not make any sense. And also, if you want to be smart and well rounded and a well read person, which you should want all those things, you have to learn every day whether you're in college or not. Right. I mean, if you could go to college, you could do four years, you could get a master's, you could do all the whole thing. And if you then graduate and you don't continue to pursue knowledge and on your own, then not only will the degree be practically worthless, which it probably already is, but even the knowledge you acquired is now worthless too, because you're going to lose it. Because you didn't continue to pursue education and knowledge, which most of these college graduates, they don't do that. So, keep learning, but also do. That's the, that's the key. And we'll leave it there for today. Thanks for watching. Thanks for listening. Talk to you tomorrow. Have a great day. Godspeed. Is that who you think I was alone with? Martin, I knew your father. I am yet convinced that he was not of this world. All men know of the great Taliesin. Who am I, father? That the God should war for my soul. Princess Gareth, savior of our people. I know what the bull god offered you. I was offered the same. And? There is a new part at work in the world. I've seen it. A god who sacrifices what he loves for us. We are each given only one life, singer. No. We're given another. I learnt of Yazoo the Christ and I have become his follower. He's waiting on a miracle and I think you can give him one. Trust in Yazoo. He is the only hope for men like us. The Brits never rest in the hands of the great life. Great light, great darkness. Such things mattered to me then. What matters to you now, Mistress of Liesin? You. Never you. The sword of the High King. How many lives must be lost before you accept the power? You were born to wield. So cling to the promises of a god who has abandoned you. I cannot take up that sword again. You know what you must do. Great light, forgive me. The time has come. To be reborn.
