Ep. 1663 - Another Horrifying Reason We Need Mass Deportations Immediately
Today on the Matt Walsh Show, recent data shows that IQ scores for college educated people — including people with PhDs — have plummeted to, in some cases, shockingly low levels. This is, among other things, yet another consequence of mass migration. We’ll discuss. Also, James Comey is indicted. Residents in Dearborn are complaining about being woken up at 5 in the morning by the Muslim call to prayer. Because that’s what life in an American city is like now. And Ben Affleck’s daughter for some reason addresses the UN about the made up illness called “long covid.”

Well, it's obviously been an extremely difficult couple of weeks.
And while there's no shortage of serious problems we have and concrete steps that we need to take to address rampant left-wing violence in this country, there are other issues that uh need to be discussed as well.
You simply can't focus 100% of the time on the constant terrorism that the left is committing, as tempting as it is to only focus on that, and all the deranged threats they're writing on bullets and Reddit and everywhere else.
Uh, if you do that, you'll probably go insane.
Not as insane as these people, but insane nonetheless.
So we're going to begin uh this bonus Friday episode, which we're doing because we missed the show earlier in the week, uh, a little differently than normal.
We're gonna start with a pop quiz, because of course nothing is more entertaining than a pop quiz.
Everyone, all the kids love pop quizzes.
Specifically, I'm gonna give you a one-question IQ test.
Now, of course, a one question IQ test isn't a real thing.
There's no possible way you could determine somebody's IQ from a single question.
And if you don't realize that, then your IQ is probably 70.
Uh that's just that's just science.
But for the purposes of this monologue, I'm gonna administer a one question IQ test.
Here's the question.
This is from a mathematician named Spencer Greenberg, who's done a lot of research on intelligence and statistics across large populations.
He says that if you take it with a big grain of salt, the following question is a decent general indicator for whether your IQ is above 100 Or below it, which is around the average of the typical American.
The question reads, a carpenter is to furniture as a cobbler is to what?
In other words, a carpenter's relationship to furniture is analogous to a cobbler's relationship to what object.
And here are your options.
A, tile, B, pot, C, frame, D, shoe.
Which of those things, a tile, a pot, a frame, or shoe, has the same relationship with a cobbler as the carpenter has with furniture.
So let's really think about this one.
It's a it's uh, you know, this this is this is a stumper.
What's the relationship between a carpenter and furniture?
Well, they fix furniture.
What do cobblers do?
By definition, they fix shoes.
So the answer is D. Uh, the trick, to the extent that there is one, is that cobbler can also refer to a dessert.
So maybe you'd be tempted to pick B, which corresponds to pot.
But in context, that's clearly not what they're going for.
Uh carpenters fix stuff, cobblers fix stuff, the cobbler dessert does not.
Again, there's not much you can read into one question like this.
If you don't know what a cobbler is, then you you didn't really have a shot.
But in general, according to Spencer Greenberg, people who have an IQ below 100, which is the statistical average in this country, generally don't answer this question correctly.
They don't, they don't, especially understanding relationships to things and analogies.
They're dumb, so they can't do that.
So if you nailed it, then congratulations.
You're probably smarter than the average citizen of our current idiocracy.
You're also much, much smarter than many people who earn advanced degrees in this country, including PhDs.
This is data that frankly doesn't seem like it could possibly be true, but it is apparently.
So take a look at this chart, which was produced by uh Matt McGew, a researcher in the Department of Psychology at the University of Minnesota.
And take a look at it here.
Look at where 90 IQ is on that X axis.
As you can see, there's a fairly large number of people with college degrees as well as advanced degrees, like PhDs that fall below the 90 IQ threshold.
These are people who wouldn't get the uh cobbler question correct.
They'd get that one wrong.
And some of them have PhDs.
They get a much easier question wrong, too.
We were talking about people who are well below the average IQ of the typical American, and they're being awarded doctorates, degrees that allow them to educate future generations.
This is a trend that, as you might expect, has accelerated in recent decades.
Uh, this data is from a researcher named Sebastian Jensen, who's on Substack, and it shows the average IQ of Americans over the age of 25, and it divides them up by educational attainment and sex.
And as you can see, across the board, average IQs are dropping for all of these levels.
Men and women with college degrees with uh high school diplomas and dropouts, they've all been getting progressively dumber since the 1940s.
According to Matt McGew, the researcher at the University of Minnesota, people with IQs below 90 are finishing college at dramatically higher rates than they were in previous generations.
Men with IQs below 90 are finishing college six times as much, while women with IQs below 90 are finishing college 10 times as much as they used to.
Did you know any of this?
Probably not.
Now, at this point, there's no need for me to go into any great detail about the impact of diploma mills, civil rights movement, the DEI, all these things factor into these numbers.
All of these factors are leading to lower standards, drastically, drastically lower standards in colleges and universities.
But you um you know about that already.
What you may not know, even though it's a critical part of the story, is how much of the education system isn't simply erasing standards, handing out useless college degrees and teaching propaganda.
Uh there, there are many schools that are doing something much more dangerous and un-American than that.
This is a message I received a few days ago from a woman named Leah, who says that she was a teacher in Rochester, Minnesota around a decade ago.
She was pursuing a master's degree, and as part of that program, she was assigned to teach in a local elementary school.
This is a school that claims to be focused on math and science.
And when she arrived, she says, she realized that everyone else was Somali and that the school was governed by Islamic law.
Quote, when I showed up at the school, I was greeted by some Somalian men who were friendly but needed to explain things to me before I could observe in the classroom.
They spent two days with me in private meetings to explain the culture and what would be expected of me.
Long story short, the school is run by Muslim elders.
They told me very directly that they are Muslim first, Somalian second, and they will never be American.
If the boys became too American, they'd be shipped back to Somalia.
This is an elementary school funded by our tax dollars.
How many more schools are like this?
She asks.
Leah continued, quote, before arriving, I was instructed by my professor to not extend my hand to the elders that would meet with me.
They don't shake hands with women that are not their wife.
I also recall being told that the young girls might miss a few weeks of school and should not be academically penalized.
It was clear that this was for their general mutilation custom, but I can't remember if they gave me the details or if I searched online afterwards for more information.
This is something I shared with my professor because I didn't understand how we as mandatory reporters of abuse were being instructed to turn a blind eye.
This was when my professor instructed me that maybe I wasn't cut out from being a teacher since I can't respect the cultures of others.
The teacher also shared that only moms show up for parent teacher meetings because the Somalians practice polygamy and to not expect them to address misbehavior of the boys since the boys can do whatever they want, and moms are thought of as less than their sons.
Close quote.
Now, if these allegations are true, which I can't confirm, but I have no reason to believe that they aren't, then we have a network of illegal Islamic schools teaching Sharia law, basically, in this country with your tax money.
They're not teaching math and science.
This is a major problem, and as far as I can tell, no one's really talking about it.
We're looking into it.
There's no investigation of any kind, even though this is a full-on fraud, if it's true.
If you look at the website of this particular school, there's no indication that it's an Islamic school.
They claim to be a secular institution focused on math and science, which is how they get their tax money.
But if you walk inside the school for just a few seconds, then evidently you realize what's actually going on.
And when you look at the decline in American IQs and educational standards, as well as rising rates of crime and anti-American ideologies, you can't ignore stories like this, which is just one anecdotal story of many, many similar stories.
We are being conquered and humiliated in the process.
And these Somalis aren't just defrauding our school system.
Every week you hear about a new Somali scam that's been uncovered.
Alpha News just reported, for example, that a woman named Asha Faran Hassan was just charged for her role in defrauding the state's autism program through a company that she ran called Smart Therapy.
She says the first person who's been charged, she's the first person who's been charged in a wide-ranging conspiracy from 2019 to 2024 to fraudulently obtain more than 14 million dollars in state funds.
And here's how the scam worked.
Quote, Hassan and her partners allegedly recruited children into smart therapy by approaching parents in the Somali community and paying them monthly cash kickbacks in amounts ranging from $300 to $1,500 per month.
Prosecutors say the parents would often threaten to leave smart therapy and take their children to other autism centers if they didn't get higher kickbacks.
In fact, several larger families did leave smart therapy after being offered larger kickbacks by other centers according to the charges, which say kickback payments came from fraudulent billings to Medicaid.
Where a child did not have an autism diagnosis and an individual treatment plan, Hassan and her partners worked with a qualified supervising professional to get the recruited child qualified for autism services.
There was no child that smart therapy was not able to get qualified for autism services.
Now, we've talked about the Somali community in Minnesota many times before, including how they've rallied behind a man who kidnapped and sexually assaulted a child.
There is, as we've seen, there is no government program they won't defraud.
This is endemic.
Okay, this is absolutely endemic, particularly in the state of Minnesota, where you have Somalis committing fraud all over the place.
I mean, it's happening constantly.
In fact, just the other day we learned about yet another fraud they were running.
This is, I mean, you could do an update like this every day.
Here's the Somali fraud of the day.
This is from a press release last week that was issued by the DOJ quote.
Eight defendants have been federally charged with wire fraud for their roles in a massive housing stabilization fraud scheme.
A federal investigation revealed that many program providers defrauded the system.
These providers acquired the names of uh program eligible beneficiaries from facilities like addiction treatment centers.
They then use those individuals' information to submit inflated and fake reimbursement claims.
Now, here are the defendants' names.
Uh Makhtar Hassan Aidan, age 30, Mustafa Daeeb Ali, age 29, Kalid uh Ahmed Daiib, age 26, Abtifa Muhammad Muhammad, age 27.
there's some real classic uh you know, Minnesota names in that list.
Good amount of uh Scandinavian and German ancestry reflected there.
It's not remotely as if Somalis are stealing from every single possible source they can get their hands on.
It's not as if they're degrading our education system along with everything else.
And it's not as if we should deport every Somali scammer immediately and remove the temporary protected status they've enjoyed in this country for no reason for more than three decades.
No, that would all just be absurd.
Let's just continue doing exactly what we have been doing.
Let's just keep importing people and inviting them to defraud our system in mass, which is what they're doing and have been doing for decades.
Now it's important to clarify, of course, that Minnesota isn't the only place where this kind of thing is happening.
Virtually the entire Arab world is moving into this country, and it's very much a hostile takeover.
Just to make the point abundantly clear, the the new mayor of Dearborn, Michigan, a Muslim uh named Abdullah Hussein Hamod just told a Christian minister, I think we played this clip, but we'll play it again, that he's not welcome in his city.
Uh what happened is that the Christian minister objected to a couple of street signs honoring a man named Osama Sablani, who's promoted Hezbollah and Hamas.
And um, here's how Mayor Abdullah responded.
Watch.
I mean, Hezbollah um, you know, bombed uh the embassy in uh in Beirut and uh including many Americans.
So I just feel it's quite inappropriate.
You are an Islamophobe.
And although you live here, I want you to know as mayor, you are not welcome here.
And the day you move out of the city will be the day that I launch a parade celebrating the fact that you moved out of the city because you are not somebody who believes in coexistence.
Although you live here, you're not welcome.
The Muslim mayor says to the white Christian American citizen.
Try explaining this video to the founding fathers.
I mean, it's maybe the purest form of projection we've ever seen in American politics.
Abdullah Hussein Hamood understands very well that although he lives here, he doesn't belong in this country.
So instead of doing the honorable thing and leaving, he's casting Christians, Christians as the invaders.
They're invading his community.
It'd be a mistake to view this footage as the um uh vile anti-Christian, anti-American sentiment of just one evil and incompetent mayor.
It is the prevailing view of the entire army of foreigners that we have imported into this country.
That's why they elected this guy.
And they're now running our cities.
Our governments, they're running our schools into the ground in all three cases.
There's a direct connection between declining IQs and standards uh in this country and the number of people with names like Abdullah Hussein Humud, who live here, and who clearly want our country to resemble their homelands.
Yesterday afternoon, Donald Trump was asked about one of these um foreigners, a lawmaker named Ilhan Omar.
There's very strong evidence that she committed immigration fraud.
She's certainly a communist who, by her own admission, is loyal to Somalia, not the United States.
And here's how Trump responded.
And I met the head of Somalia, did you know that?
And I suggested that maybe he'd like to take her back.
He said, I don't want her.
Okay.
Sometimes you can accuse Donald Trump of, you know, maybe embellishing a bit.
You can say that he uh he exaggerates at times for for uh effect.
This is not one of those times, and we all know it.
He asked the president of Somalia to take Ilahan Omar back.
He's been publicly requesting that they take her back for a very long time, and he said they don't want her, which was a predictable response.
I mean, there's a reason that the main export of Somalia is Somalis.
The only dubious part of the story is that there's actually a president of Somalia.
I had to look that one up.
Uh apparently they do have one.
Uh it's it's not just like a warlord.
He really has the title of president, so that's something.
At any event, there's also a very good reason at this point uh to to end Somali immigration to this country completely.
Completely.
Regardless of what the president of Somalia says.
They're openly flouting our laws.
They're stealing taxpayer money that's intended for public schools and autism treatment and food banks and so on.
Uh they're generally not particularly impressive people.
I mean, the the aver or intelligent.
The average IQ in Somalia is something like 70.
That's that does, you know, those them's the facts, okay?
It's just what it is.
And it's a similar story in in most of these failed third world states.
You know, when you when you look at those IQ charts I began with, it's not hard to wonder how the numbers would change if we did not import people like Ilhan Omar and Abdullah Hussein Hamood.
Maybe more elementary schools would start teaching math and science instead of Islamic customs.
Maybe we reverse the trend of declining IQs in this country.
That would actually be worthy of a parade in the streets of Michigan.
It would certainly be something to celebrate after many, many months of discouraging and awful news that we've all had to endure.
So with apologies to the President of Somalia, if he's even a real person, it's time for ICE to get to work.
We have tolerated stagnation and decline for far too long.
We need immigration crackdowns not only in places like Los Angeles and the Home Depot parking lot, but also in places like Dearborn and Rochester immediately.
It's not enough to just throw James Comey in jail, as great as that would be.
It's not enough to target illegals from Mexico.
Go after the Ilhan Omar's.
Even the people who are legal citizens, but don't belong here.
They they lied.
They defrauded the system when they came in.
Ilhan Omar, along with committing immigration fraud by marrying her brother, also did not reveal that her primary loyalty is to Somalia.
That's fraud.
She doesn't belong here.
As well.
And then when American PhDs finally have an IQ above 100, shut the door behind them.
And don't repeat the same mistake ever again.
Now let's get to our five headlines.

Dilly Wire reports a federal grand jury indicted former FBI director James Comey on Thursday on charges Of giving false statements and obstruction of a congressional proceeding.
No one's above the law.
Attorney General Pam Bondi said in a statement.
Today's indictment reflects this Department of Justice's commitment to holding those who abuse positions of power accountable for misleading the American public.
We will follow the facts in this case.
Comey's indictment stems from statements the former FBI had made to Congress in September 2020 when he testified regarding his handling of the investigation into Russian meddling in the 2016 presidential election.
Comey uh his indictment comes just days ahead of a major deadline, uh, which is that the statute of limitations was going to expire on September 30th.
So they got it in just in time.
And as you can imagine, the media and Democrats are having a, you know, having a fit, full-on panic attacks.
Uh, they're going around screaming about weaponized government, political retribution, so on and so on, uh, pretending that the Republicans are setting some sort of some sort of disturbing precedent here.
And we're not going to play any of those clips because you've probably seen them and you can imagine.
It's all the stuff that you would imagine.
And the response is obvious.
Like I don't need to point it out, but I will, that Democrats already weaponized the government.
They already engaged in political retribution.
They, of course, did the exact thing that they're now accusing Trump of doing.
The only difference is that they had to invent crimes that Trump committed.
They had to come up with like novel theories, which they even admitted at the time.
The media even admitted, well, this is a novel thing.
It's a novel.
We're not making up a crime.
It's just novel.
It's unique.
You know, it's quirky and eccentric.
Um, and that's what they did.
They concocted novel theories to indict Trump.
Well, there are no novel theories at work here at all.
Very straightforward.
Come lied under oath.
He lied to Congress.
Very simple.
Um, Trump did not invent that crime.
The Trump administration did not just like decide that they're going to find a way to pretend that it's a crime to lie under oath to Congress.
That's already very much a crime.
And people have been prosecuted for it plenty of times in the past.
So he didn't come up with a new theory.
He isn't trying out some unique new approach.
Comey lied.
He committed a crime.
The only defense, like, if there's any defense, Comey would have to be able to prove that he didn't lie.
But he's not going to be able to defend himself by saying, oh, well, that's not a crime.
Okay, but Trump, you could say, yeah, well, uh, okay, he didn't do what you accuse him of, but also like this not even what you're accusing him of isn't even a crime in the first place.
So here it's just, did you do it?
Like, if you did it, it's definitely a crime.
And also, we know that he did it.
So that it's it's pretty straightforwardly obvious that he also did lie.
And that's it.
Now, there is one thing that is novel in this case.
It's not the theory of the crime.
Again, that's as straightforward as it could possibly get.
The novel thing, and the thing that has the left panicking, is that a Democrat official is being held accountable for something.
What's novel is not the crime, but the fact that a Democrat is indicted for committing it.
That is novel.
That that is unique.
Uh actually holding a Democrat official a, you know, accountable for a crime they clearly committed, that's a novel thing.
Uh, no previous administration would have done this, certainly not in modern times.
Trump, in his first term, would not have done this.
Trump famously ran for office in 2016, uh, you know, chanting lock her up.
That was the that was the uh one of his greatest moments in the in the debates in that presidential election, was saying to Hillary Clinton, you'll be in jail, right?
It was a great, great moment.
And then he gets into office and he and she never was locked up.
They didn't even try.
So this is new, even for Trump in a good way.
Um, there was always this implicit understanding that Trump himself went along with the first time around, that Democrats can do what they want.
That if you're a Democrat, it's like, yeah, that's technically a crime, but come on.
It's it's come on.
That was always the defense.
And um, everyone went along with it, and and and now the Trump administration is finally saying, uh, no.
No, actually, the law applies to you too.
And we're gonna hold you To it.
And so that's what's happening here, and that's the only thing novel about it.
Okay, I want to actually go back to Dearborn for a moment.
Because as we talked about Dearborn a little bit on the show recently, and I've been aware of the Islamicization of Dearborn.
Hadn't really looked into it that deeply.
But the more you look into it, and the more research you do about what's happening in Deer Dearborn, it is insane.
I mean, it is mind-blowing.
I think people don't realize, however, bad you think it is, it's so much worse.
And if you live there, you know this, but for people that don't live there, you might not understand just how bad it is.
That Dearborn has essentially become an Arab state.
It's it's a Middle Eastern Islamic capital right in the middle of the American heartland.
And for some reason, we've allowed that to happen.
We don't have to allow it.
We don't have to allow that, actually.
We are allowed to not allow that.
But we did.
And now the people of the city, along with here's the latest thing, along with all the other problems with living in a Middle Eastern Islamic capital.
The latest, and this is just from this week, uh, the people of the city find themselves woken up at 5 a.m. by the Muslim call to prayer.
Uh watch this.
But the Mos in East Dearborn are now at times waking us up at 5 30 in the morning with a call to prayer.
This is Dearborn resident Andrea Unger, and last night's city council meeting stating that mosques using outdoor loudspeakers for their call to prayer should not be allowed.
And says she believes it's not supposed to be allowed per city ordinance.
The noise complaints have been made out, and the police have made numerous visits.
What is the next step?
There was some question whether or not any outdoor loudspeakers are allowed.
Something that was not clarified, only that more evidence is being gathered.
But CBS Detroit did examine Dearborn's noise ordinance and found that loudspeakers between the hours of 10 p.m. and 7 a.m. are in violation of the ordin.
So that is the sound you get to hear if you live in a city in Michigan.
That's the sound.
And I was talking about this on X, and somebody said I saw a few comments that said, well, you know, what about uh what about church?
What about church bell?
You got a problem with that with the Muslim call to prayer over the loudspeaker.
But what about church bells?
You got an issue.
Well, what's the difference?
Well, I'll tell you the difference.
Number one, church bells are much more beautiful.
Number two, church bells uh don't ring at five in the morning.
And number three, America is a Christian country.
Okay, at its core, at its root, philosophically, historically, America is a Christian country.
And so there is a distinct difference between being in America, like being in an American city and hearing a church bell is normal.
It's good, it's traditional, it's what you expect.
Hearing that sound over a loudspeaker coming from a mosque is not normal.
It's not traditional.
It's not American.
It's just not.
And now the city council president apparently conceded that the call to prayer, you know, is well, the level that it's being blasted over loudspeaker is a violation of noise ordinances in the city, in particular doing it at five in the morning.
But so far, as far as I know, uh nothing's been done about it.
They're just kind of shrugging it off.
And there's no surprise about it.
No surprise about that.
Remember, we just talked about a guy who showed up at a council meeting to object to the fact that they're renaming streets after, you know, some some Muslim guy.
And the mayor, Abdullah Hamood, uh yelled at the guy for complaining and told him he's not welcome in Dearborn.
So that's how things are going in Dearborn.
Now, here's an update on that story from the New York Post.
There is an update on that.
At Dearborn, Michigan's first city council meeting since his clash with a local Christian minister went viral after heat exchange over a controversy honorary, uh honorary, controversial honorary street sign, naming uh Mayor Abdullah Hamud, declined to apologize for his saying the minister was not welcome here, and that he would launch a parade when he left town.
It's kind of a rough paragraph.
That was not a well written.
and also I just can't read.
So we've got speaking of low IQ, we got two problems.
We have uh two problems colliding right now.
Anyway, Ted Barum, the same Christian minister, opened his remarks at Tuesday meeting by repeating the words that went viral at the previous one on September 9th.
Barum said, the mayor, in a way, cursed me, as was seen around the world.
And I would like to repeat what I said that day to you, Mr. Mayor.
God bless you.
Baram said he would have had no plans to file a lawsuit just by pressure from supporters.
People have been saying I should do that all over the world.
I have no intention of doing that, of filing a lawsuit.
Instead, he urged the council to consider his larger message.
Bless those who curse you, love your haters.
And I would say that in regard to Hezbollah as well.
I would say that in regard to Mr. Sablani.
And I would say to Israel too, love your haters.
Um, okay.
And somebody else got up.
We love you with the love of Christ.
We want the blessings of God to be in your life.
It's not a matter of us versus them.
Uh, and then this is someone else speaking and said, Do you definitively but ask the mayor, do you definitively unequivocally by name denounce Hamas and Hezbollah, or do you support them?
So the Christian citizens in the city are very are being very forgiving and nice about it, which is unfortunate and inappropriate, actually.
And shameful.
Um there is nothing in the Christian faith that requires you to be a pushover.
Quite the opposite.
The Christian faith is a warrior faith, put on the armor of God.
It's a warrior faith.
And that does not mean that we'd be pushovers.
There is nothing that requires you to be a weak limp-wristed wimp.
And this is what I wish Christians in this country would understand.
And so many do not, after years of going to these effeminate liberal churches, and um, and they hear things like turn the other cheek.
Okay, turn the other cheek, okay, was not an invitation or a command for you to be a wuss.
It's not an excuse to be a coward.
And turn the other cheek only ever applies, only ever applies to insults against you personally.
That's the only time when we should ever be talking about turn the other cheek.
It does not apply to offenses against your family, against your friends, against your country, against your faith.
You should not be turning the other cheek in those cases.
Turning the other cheek in those cases is not turning the other cheek, it's turning your back.
Okay, Jesus said turn the other cheek.
He didn't say turn your back on the people who you're supposed to be loyal to, on your principles, on your values, on your faith, on your family.
Didn't say that.
That's betrayal.
Um in this case, if you're a Christian in Dearborn, all of those things are under attack.
Your country's under attack, your faith, your friends, your family, are all being attacked and insulted and degraded.
When he said, when the when the mayor of Dearborn said to the that Christian pastor, you're not welcome here.
He wasn't, okay, it's fine if that if the pastor wants to say, well, I'm not, I personally am not going to take offense to that.
Fine.
He wasn't just talking to you, though, Pastor.
He was talking to every Christian in your community.
That's what he was saying.
Okay, he was saying Christians are not welcome here.
And so getting up there and just saying, well, God bless you, I love you.
That's not a good enough response.
It's not good enough.
You should be righteously angry about it.
And you should sue him.
That's justice.
That is you defending your faith, defending your country.
Um it is an attack not necessarily on you individually, but on your faith, your country, your family.
So no, you Don't just forgive him and move on.
You should sue.
You should fight back.
He can't say that to you.
He can't.
The mayor of the town cannot get up there.
You, as an American, as a American Christian citizen.
How dare he?
You get up there and say that you don't want your street names named after this like Muslim guy.
Okay?
This is not even putting aside supports Hamas and Hezbollah.
That is almost irrelevant.
Okay, this is what he's not, he's not an American hero.
No, we're not going to have Omar Sablani Street in America.
We're not going to have it.
And you have every right to say that.
And so how dare he stand up there and say you're not welcome here.
He has no right to say that to you.
As a public servant, he has no right to say that to you.
And so I really get tired of this kind of response.
Oh, well, you know, I'm going to be the bigger man.
Oh, give me a break.
At a certain point, like being the bigger man is not at a certain point, you got to get down in the mud and have this fight.
Okay.
At a certain point, you got to get down in the mud and have the fight.
Now, unsurprisingly, by the way, the mayor did not elect to issue any kind of apology.
Why would he?
I mean, they're letting him off the hook.
So why would he apologize?
I mean, when you get up there and say, I forgive you, I've I uh God bless you.
God bless you.
But I'd like an apology, mister.
Why would he apologize?
You have no reason to apologize.
Now, maybe if you got up there and say, you know what?
You know what?
I'm gonna sue, I'm gonna sue you into the ground.
How dare you speak to me that way?
I'm an American citizen, you watch your mouth, you don't talk to me that way.
I'm gonna sue you.
I'm gonna sue you into bankruptcy.
Okay?
I'm gonna haunt your dreams for the rest of your life.
I'm gonna come after you.
Now, if you say that, maybe you get an apology.
And then maybe after you get the apology, maybe you could drop the loss.
Maybe you could say after you've gotten the submission from this guy, he submitted to you.
And uh and apologized and groveled.
That's what you should be.
So I want you to grow, you better grovel, not to me, but to all the citizens of the of the of this community and this country and all the Christians that you just insulted.
You better get down on your knees and grovel and apologize.
Or I'm gonna sue you into the ground.
You son of a Okay?
That is how you should respond.
But uh, but you didn't, so instead, instead, he he just ignored it.
Uh back to the article.
When Hamud spoke later in the evening at the meeting, he did not answer the many calls for an apology.
Instead, he said, Dearborn represents the best of America, where people of all backgrounds, of all faiths and of all beliefs can live peacefully and respectfully as neighbors.
Except you just told them to leave.
But he gets away with this.
Um he talked about how we shouldn't be divisive and all this nonsense.
With only two names on the ballot in the next mayor election, the clash over religious freedom and free speech sparked by Baram's remarks, and the mayor's response may become the defining issue for voters.
Yes, there is a so there is a mayoral election coming up in Dearborn.
And by the way, the Republican challenging the accumbent incumbent, uh, his name is Abdullah.
Well, the the incumbent, his name is Abdullah Hamood.
The guy challenging him is Naji Almood Hedgee.
And uh just so you know, just giving you a little, you know, just to give you give me the lay of the land in Dearborn.
The mayor, uh, his chief of staff, mayor Abdullah's chief of staff is named Zainab A. Hussein.
The chief of police in Dearborn is Isa Shaheen.
And he oversees, of course, the uh the department and the the uh biggest division is the patrol division, and the guy who's the commander of that is Madhu Bazi.
Public health director in Dearborn is Ali Abazid.
And there's also, of course, city council members, uh Kamal Aswafi and Mustafa Hamood.
Again, just to remind you, this is a city in America.
I am not reading from the organizational flowchart of a city in Saudi Arabia.
This is the American Midwest.
This is the American heartland.
A place where you will now be woken up by the Muslim call to prayer at 5 30 in the morning.
And then you can get your car and drive to work down Osama Simblani lane, you know, to get to your job.
The article, the post article we just read, says that this is an issue.
This is a clash of religious freedom.
But you know, on the religious freedom point, I agree with the writer Patrick Casey, who posted on X yesterday, he said this.
Freedom of religion was a noble thing, would it encourage brotherhood between Europeans who spent centuries slaughtering each other over religious differences in the old world?
But combined with mass third world immigration, freedom of religion has yielded less noble fruit.
Well, that is a very diplomatic and eloquent way of putting it.
And the point is just irrefutable, really.
Our founding fathers did not have this in mind.
They did not have in mind that we'd have American cities run by guys named Hamood.
Okay.
They just didn't.
Who shout down Christian citizens and tell them they aren't welcome.
Who name streets after Muslim figures?
Have the Muslim call to prayer blasting through the streets.
Where Muslim immigrants, the immigrant population, Muslim population outnumbers the American population.
That was never the point.
That was never intended.
None of our founding fathers or anyone at that time who lived in America could have even conceived of something like this.
It wasn't anywhere on their radar screen.
Do you know how many Muslims were in the country in 1791 when the Bill of Rights was ratified?
You know how many?
Like zero?
I mean, basically zero.
There may have been a small number of Muslims who were here as slaves.
If there were any Muslims, they would have been here as slaves.
Although, by the way, we didn't have nearly as many Muslim slaves as the Muslims had Christian slaves through the Barbary slave trade at the same time.
But anyway, the point is, there were basically no Muslims here at the time, certainly none that were participating in public life at all.
So the guys who came up with the idea of religious freedom and codified it into law, they didn't have this in mind.
Like that's not that is not a debate.
I mean, there's nothing to debate there.
That's not, I don't need to speculate.
It's just a fact.
When they were talking about religious liberty, nobody was thinking about this.
No one was thinking about what Dearborn is.
That possibility, it would have been, it would have seemed impossible that anything like that would ever happen.
They just didn't have Islam in mind at all.
They knew what Islam was, obviously.
I mean, Thomas Jefferson was at war with Muslims.
But James Madison, when he wrote the First Amendment, he, this is not what he was thinking about.
Religious freedom, as Patrick Casey said, what they were thinking about, it's peace and unity among the various Christian denominations.
That's what the concept was meant for.
It was a this is why it's so hard for people these days to understand what was going on when we read founding documents and the letters and things that founding fathers were writing.
What people don't get is that this was a conversation happening among Christians.
And that that was always just the base level assumption is that these are all of this.
We're talking about Christians.
And there just weren't any other one anyone else here.
No one else was here.
The idea that Islamic migrants would be imported en masse was again not on the radar.
It wasn't considered.
What's happened in Dearborn, none of the founders of our country ever remotely considered that possibility.
And if they had considered it, they would not have approved.
Religious freedom was supposed to allow Christians to live peaceably among each other, and now it's being used as a cudgel Against us as a Trojan horse to turn our communities into Pakistan.
We don't have to allow this.
Our founding fathers certainly would not have allowed it.
We should not allow it.
This is our country.
We are allowed to take control of our own country.
We're allowed to say, no, you're not going to Islamicize our cities.
No.
You're not going to do that.
This is America.
That's the Middle East.
We don't want America to be the Middle East.
I think we're pretty well justified in not wanting that.
I think we can look over there and say, you know what?
We don't really want that.
We don't want any part of that.
We don't want any part of that at all.
We're allowed to think that.
We'd be crazy not to.
And we're allowed to take steps to make sure that it happens.
America is not a Muslim country.
If it ever became a Muslim country, it would no longer be America.
That doesn't mean that Muslims can't live here.
That's not what anyone is saying.
What it does mean is that you need to assimilate into our culture rather than erasing our culture and supplanting it with yours.
That's what it means.
Which is the same expectation that every other country on the planet has.
It's certainly, I mean, it's certainly the expectation that every single Muslim country has for any of the people that they allow in, which aren't many.
And you notice that at this point, Muslims account for a huge disproportionate number of migrants generally.
And especially ones coming from overseas, most specifically.
But they come here.
That's the weird thing is you have this mass Muslim immigration, and almost all of it comes here or to the UK, Western Europe.
They don't go to other Muslim countries.
That's weird, isn't it?
One of the reasons for that is that these other Muslim countries are not, like they're just not very welcoming of outsiders.
And if they do bring you in, and that's the that's to put it mildly.
But if they do bring you in, yeah, you're gonna assimilate to our this is our country, this is our culture.
We'll invite you in, maybe.
If we do, you need to assimilate to us.
Okay, it's the same same expectation you have if you let somebody in your house.
If you let them over for dinner, you invite them over for dinner.
The assumption is that, okay, this is my house.
I'll let you in, I'll invite you in.
These are my rules.
I have my way of doing things.
If you don't like it that way, then don't come.
This is the problem with the people, even conservatives who still go around claiming that you know America is an idea, it's just an idea.
And when I ask what is an American, they say, well, you know, it's a citizen who believes in the constitution and freedom and democracy.
That's kind of the answer you get.
Well, that can't be the answer.
It can't be just that.
Why?
Well, because of Dearborn.
Because a city in Michigan has been converted into an Islamic capital, and a city in Minnesota has been converted into Mogadishu, and many other cases just like it all across the country.
These people who are doing this, they're legal citizens for the most part.
The Somalis in Minnesota, the Muslims and uh in Michigan, legal citizens.
And also they will say, if you ask them, that they do love the Constitution and they do love democracy, and they do love freedom.
And who's to say they don't?
I mean, all that stuff allowed them to come here and turn our communities into third world enclaves.
So I'm sure they do love it.
I believe them.
So does that make them American?
And that's just the end of the discussion.
If the entire country resembles Dearborn 50 years from now, is America still America?
I mean, that really is the question.
And I'm not even saying necessarily that the entire country will resemble Dearborn in 50 years, although maybe it will.
Or maybe it takes 75 years.
But this is the question that kind of has you thinking about the it it it makes the point, right?
That if America did become dearborn.
Uh and these are all legal citizens, And they all love the Constitution.
Is America still America?
Obviously not.
Obviously, that's not what America is supposed to be.
And I get it.
You know, I the whole uh America is an idea thing.
I used to say that stuff too.
I'll admit that.
Go back eight or nine years and you can hear me repeating the same kind of cringe nonsense.
I think it's embarrassing now.
But I did say it.
I believed it at the time.
But it isn't true.
And I understand that it feels a bit jarring to give up on that line.
To admit that America is more than I an idea and more than just a geographic area and more than an economic zone.
It's jarring because it brings with it all kinds of implications that you'd rather not have to deal with.
But the implications are here, whether you want to deal with them or not.
Just ask yourself and be honest.
Look at Dearborn.
Is that America?
Is that what America is supposed to be?
Is that what you want America to be?
If a hundred more American cities turn into Dearborn, if 500, a thousand.
Is that okay?
Is it okay with you?
If you have children, do you want them to grow up in Dearborn?
No.
No, you don't.
And you shouldn't want that.
And and so, and we are allowed to take steps to prevent that.

If you've been on the internet at any point in the last few years, you've probably seen this meme featuring actor Ben Affleck.
It's a photograph that was originally published by an outlet called The Cut.
Affleck is smoking a cigarette with his left hand in his pocket, eyes closed, looking extremely annoyed.
It's from his uh 44th birthday back in 2016 when he was um spending time with his estranged wife Jennifer Garner and their children in London.
Then Ben Affleck sees the paparazzi and sighs, easily the single most documented sigh in all of human history.
Supposedly Affleck was uh just trying to get some alone time and he was really bothered by the paparazzi hounding him.
Or at least that's the official story.
As with every other monumental event in human history, like the Moonlanding or 9-11 conspiracy theories have abounded.
And in this case, there's some doubts about the precise reason for Ben Affleck's sigh.
People have wondered whether a world-famous celebrity like Ben Affleck would really be so bothered by some paparazzi that he'd sigh in such a dramatic fashion.
And maybe there's some other deeper explanation.
One that's uh not discussed in play company.
I've certainly been transfixed by this question.
Ask anyone who knows me.
It's like I'm I'm up thinking about it.
This meme has consumed me.
Unfortunately for people like me, nearly a decade later, the truth has finally emerged.
We can now state with certainty precisely why Ben Affleck looked to be in such great despair as he smoked that cigarette by himself in London.
Behold this new footage of Violet Affleck, Ben Affleck's daughter, who was apparently with him in London when the infamous photo was taken.
This is from Violet Affleck's speech at the United Nations the other day, because for some reason the children of celebrities are giving speeches at the UN.
I don't know.
Uh, when the president of the United States, you know, isn't being pranked and harassed, this is what they're doing over there.
This is what uh Ben Affleck has to deal with also from his own daughter on a regular basis.
Watch.
For adults, the relentless beat of back to normal, ignoring, downplaying, and concealing both the prevalence of airborne transmission and the threat of long COVID manifested in a series of choices.
Young people lacked both real choice in the matter and information about what was being chosen for us.
Here's what we know about SARS-CoV-2.
It is airborne, floating and lingering in the air.
One infection can result in disabling damage to almost every cell in the body, from the brain and heart to the nerves and blood vessels.
Every subsequent infection increases the risk of long COVID and places people who already have it in greater danger.
We have access to a technology to prevent airborne disease, something that millions of our ancestors and millions of people around the world today would kill for.
And we refuse to use it.
And I shudder to think of where we will be in another five years of unmitigated infection and reinfection.
My hope for this event and my belief in this community rest on the belief that we can and we must do that again.
We can't recognize filtered air as a human right as intuitively as we do filtered water.
We can create clean air infrastructure that is so ubiquitous and so obviously necessary.
Tomorrow's children don't even know why we need it.
There's a lot to consider here, obviously.
This woman is a petri dish of cluster B mental health disorders on full display.
She's still wearing a mask in 2025.
And if I felt like it, I guess I could go through everything she said line by line, talk about how she's clearly suffered irreparable damage from the COVID propaganda and the lockdowns.
We could talk about the absurdity of the phrase, the relentless beat of back to normal, or the way she talks about long COVID as if it's an actual thing.
But before we do any of that, I have to admit, uh, I don't want to address anything she said.
Nobody does.
You just want to go quietly outside, you know, maybe light a cigarette and uh look upward at the sky, visibly annoyed by by uh what you've just heard.
Um but, you know, knowing full well that honestly there's no point to engaging with any of it.
And if paparazzi happened to take your picture, who cares?
At least you're far, far away from that woman.
Now, to be clear, Ben Affleck has had to put up with this kind of melodrama for a very long time.
Uh his daughter has made a habit of giving little speeches like this to anyone who will listen.
Last summer, for example, Violet Affleck told a county meeting in Los Angeles all about long COVID and how important it is to wear masks and provide UVC light uh in prisons, even.
Watch.
Hi, Violet Affleck, Los Angeles resident, first-time voter.
I'm 18.
Um, I contracted a post-trial condition in 2019.
I'm okay now, but I saw firsthand that medicine does not always have answers to the consequences of even minor viruses.
The COVID-19 pandemic has thrown the end to sharper relief.
One in ten infections leads to long COVID, which is a devastating neurological cardiovascular illness that can take away people's ability to work, move, see, and even think stands to exacerbate our homelessness crisis as well as the suffering of many people in our city.
It hits communities of color, disabled people, elderly people, trans people, women, and anyone in a public facing essential job the hardest.
To confront the long COVID crisis, I demand mask availability, air filtration, and far UVC light in government facilities, including jails and detention centers, and mask mandates in county medical facilities, we must expand the availability of high quality free tests and treatment, and most importantly, the county must oppose mask bans for any reason.
They do not keep us safer.
They make vulnerable members of our community less safe and make everyone less able to participate in Los Angeles together.
Thank you.
Now, to be very clear about this, she's claiming that one in ten COVID infections leads to long COVID, which she describes as a devastating illness that takes away people's ability to work, move, walk, and even think.
Now that's true, there would be nearly a hundred million people in the world right now who are basically comatose because they contracted COVID five years ago.
Entire countries will be full of zombies.
The global economy would have collapsed by now, many times over.
Now, granted, a version of that actually is happening, you might argue, but it's got nothing to do with imaginary illnesses like long COVID.
So fine, let's let's talk about long COVID.
Let's dive into the alleged data that supports this diagnosis.
Here's an actual study from George Washington University published on the CDC's website that claims long COVID is a real thing.
And we'll put it up on the screen.
This is the best argument these people have.
It states, quote, we examined the prevalence and predictors of long COVID from a sample of 1,338 COVID-19 cases among university members in Washington, D.C. during July 2021 to March 2022.
Cases were followed up after 30 days of the initial positive result with confidential electronic surveys, including questions about long COVID, the prevalence of long COVID was 36%.
Well, that sounds pretty serious.
More than a third of students and faculty and staff at George Washington University supposedly developed long COVID after contracting COVID.
Now, immediately, a lot of other researchers pointed out that the results made no sense.
The idea that one third of the university, a relatively young and healthy group of people were suffering from long COVID didn't seem remotely possible.
Other studies, including one of in Denmark, showed that fewer than 1% of COVID patients might be suffering from quote unquote long COVID.
And indeed, there were obvious problems with the methodology.
For one thing, they didn't include people who contracted COVID without suffering any serious symptoms.
Instead, they only included people who took lab tests for their COVID diagnosis, meaning patients who were much sicker than normal, and or patients who are much more likely to be paranoid.
So that kind of skews your results.
But the biggest problem with this study is right here.
Let's scroll down a bit and put this section up on the screen.
Here's the definition of long COVID, which again is a totally real and not at all made up disorder, we're told.
Quote, we define long COVID as experiencing more than one of the following symptoms lasting for more than 28 days after respondents' 10-day isolation period ended.
Difficulty driving, difficulty having conversations, difficulty making decisions, difficulty thinking, fatigue, feeling anxious, feeling depressed, sad, loss of smell, loss of taste, uh memory loss, muscle pain, muscle weakness, shortness of breath, difficulty breathing, trouble sleeping, worsening of symptoms after physical activity, worsening of symptoms after mental activity or other symptoms.
In addition, respondents were considered to have long COVID if they reported still experiencing COVID-19 related symptoms at the time of the long COVID survey.
In other words, if you didn't feel perfectly healthy and happy for 28 straight days after contracting COVID, or if you felt sad and didn't want to talk to people as much, then you have long COVID.
I'm going to go ahead.
If you have trouble driving or making decisions, you have long COVID.
Which would mean that, you know, like every woman has long COVID.
If you complain of any problems, including problems that can't be identified using any kind of physical objective diagnostic diagnostic test of any kind, then you're supposedly afflicted with uh this horrible disorder.
I was just kidding about women.
Not really.
What's actually going on here is uh pretty obvious.
Long COVID is a form of conversion disorder, which is a mental illness in which people think they have a serious health problem.
In response, they get stressed, which has some effects that in their paranoia they confuse for an actual health problem.
It's it's anxiety.
And that would explain why long COVID is overwhelmingly common among women, especially ones who have existing mental health disorders.
Here's some data from the U.S. Census Bureau on that point.
Uh, women are 45% more likely to report having long COVID than men after contracting COVID.
And remarkably enough, people who identify as transgender are more than 109% more likely to report Having long COVID than, you know, normal straight men.
Or to use the Biden administration's language, quote, transgender people's rate of severe severe long COVID was over four times the rate of cis men and women.
Why might that be?
Is it possible that people who are already in a distressed mental state might eagerly latch on to a new explanation for their problems?
Is it possible that researchers have created such a broad definition of long COVID that pretty much anyone can qualify for it?
Is it possible that instead of inventing new disorders that aren't real, we should require some kind of objective measurable test before we diagnose people with brand new diseases?
I could go on and on, but it's probably best to stop here.
There is no objective test for long COVID because it's a fake disorder.
There's no reason to wear a mask in 2025.

Violet Affleck is an adult woman.
Yes, she's responsible for her own choices and statements, but she's also a casualty of the most unscientific and heavy-handed uh government overreach in modern history.

And it's why the people who destroyed the lives of millions of children during lockdowns, who are now becoming very damaged adults, including, but certainly not limited to this particular NEPO baby, are today canceled.
That will do it for the show today.
Thanks for watching.
Thanks for listening.
Talk to you on Monday.
Have a great weekend.
Godspeed.
