Today, the Matt Wall Show, a lawsuit in New York, has opened the floodgates that will result in the bankruptcy of every doctor and psychiatrist who pushed transgenderism onto children.
Also, as the left pretends to care about Epstein, what about the thousands of illegal immigrant predators and child abusers that have flooded into the country?
And Lady Gaga attacks Trump's immigration policies in Japan.
But do you know who has even stricter immigration policies?
Well, Japan.
Plus, what is FAFO parenting?
The media tells us it's a new parenting trend, except that it isn't new and it isn't a trend.
We'll talk about all that and more today at The Matt Wall Show.
Ever since well-funded left-wing activist groups, including the HRC and the ACLU, won a Supreme Court victory back in the summer of 2015 that legalized gay marriage in all 50 states, they very aggressively pivoted towards pushing transgenderism at every opportunity.
The HRC or human rights campaign, for example, went from mentioning transgenderism just three times in their 2014 annual report to more than 30 times in 2015.
Today, transgender issues are still all over their website.
The HRC also started publicly counting the number of so-called trans people who were supposedly murdered in cold blood, while omitting the fact that all of their alleged victims, at least the ones who weren't in a pre-existing romantic relationship with their attacker, were either prostitutes or violent felons who were trying to murder police officers.
It was always fairly clear why the activists on the left carried out this pivot.
From a financial perspective, the activist groups needed a new fundraising pitch.
They couldn't demand equality for homosexuals anymore since gays had achieved quote-unquote equality, allegedly.
So the plight of self-described transgenders seemed like a natural next step.
And on top of that, transgenderism also advanced the main plank of modern leftism, which is that truth is relative and my personal truth is just as valid as the objective truth.
It also advances the idea that biology doesn't exist and your inherent traits are irrelevant.
The left implemented affirmative action on the fiction that inferior candidates were simply held back by racism rather than their natural talents or lack thereof.
The left imported millions of foreigners from the third world on the theory that if we simply introduce them to civilization, they would suddenly thrive instead of turning civilization into a replica of the hellholes they came from, which of course is what happened.
And so it followed that the left would also claim that, in fact, there's no actual difference between men and women.
Women are just as capable as men in the workforce and athletics and so on.
You can decide in the span of five minutes that you're a man, then you can switch to, you know, being a woman, and then you can go back to being a man again and on and on.
In short, modern leftists believe that they can play God.
They think they can eliminate natural, God-given differences among large groups of people simply by stating that they're erasing those differences or the differences don't exist and mixing in a flurry of semantics and cancellation campaigns, mass shootings, and impotent online rage.
Now, in order to defeat this ideology, which was always the antithesis of logic and science and Christian morality and basic human decency, two distinct kinds of responses were necessary.
The first response, the fight that some of us undertook years ago, was to attack trans ideology on an intellectual and cultural level.
As it turns out, if you simply ask self-described experts to define the words they're using, simple words like men and women, as we do in our movie, they'll instantly transform into bumbling, hostile, incoherent lunatics who desperately want to get as far away from you as they possibly can.
It doesn't matter if you're talking to a college professor or a random protester at the women's march.
None of these people are capable of defending their ideology because their ideology is total nonsense.
It's incoherent.
Additionally, we investigated Vanderbilt, exposed the barbarism of their gender clinic and so on.
None of it withstood any scrutiny.
The minute these people were exposed, they caved.
And then, based largely on our reporting, we won a major victory at the Supreme Court, which allowed states to keep their laws banning child butchery in the name of quote-unquote gender-affirming care.
So that's the intellectual and cultural side of the fight.
But there's another important facet of this war, which is financial.
And that's because for leftists, morality and logical reasoning simply don't matter.
You can convince sane people that gender ideology is demented and evil, but it's impossible to convince leftists of anything, really.
The only way they ever are going to stop butchering children and not to mention mentally disturbed adults is if they felt that they might get bankrupted for doing so.
So the law needed to change at some level to enable the financial ruin of any doctor who participated in the mutilation of a child.
And in the absence of a nationwide ban on gender butchery passed by Congress, the only way we would ever see that kind of change is through the courts.
Some court somewhere needed to find a fake gender doctor financially liable for the harm that was done to a child.
Well, on January 30th, in a courtroom in New York, after many years of waiting, that kind of ruling finally came down.
So this is a big deal.
For the first time, a jury decided after a trial to hold two gender doctors, a psychiatrist and a plastic surgeon, liable for disfiguring a young woman when she was just 16 years old.
The victim, who is now 22 years old, was awarded $1.6 million for past and future pain, pain and suffering, as well as $400,000 for future medical expenses.
A psychologist who pushed the treatment was found 70% liable, and the surgeon was found 30% liable.
Now, this case is unequivocally a massive victory in the fight to end the blight of trans ideology in the United States.
The award should have been 100 times higher, 1,000 times higher, but it's a major win regardless.
It dramatically raises the cost of performing these barbaric procedures on children who can't possibly consent to them.
It raises the specter of massive liability for any doctor who carves up the healthy body parts of any man, woman, or child in order to affirm a delusion.
Malpractice insurance just got a lot more expensive for these butchers.
Now, at the same time, there's an important element of this case that isn't being discussed very much in the mainstream media.
Here's a Fox segment to show you what I mean, for example, watch.
Landmark medical ruling where a woman who detransitioned after identifying as a male in her teenage years winning a $2 million malpractice suit.
Mike Emmanuel's got the story from here.
And what is that, Mike?
What happened?
Bill, good morning to you.
That is one of more than two dozen detransitioner lawsuits moving through our courts nationwide.
The case you mentioned, which is under seal, reportedly involves a minor who identifies as a boy and sued New York doctors for leaving her, quote, disfigured for life.
The question is how the verdict in the one case will impact the dozens of other cases.
Elon Musk reacting on X, quote, there will be thousands of court cases of children who were mutilated by evil doctors, modern-day Mengelas, the school psychologists, psychiatrists, and state officials who facilitated this will pay dearly too.
Mengela is a reference to the Nazi doctor known as the angel of death.
Now, all of that is true.
There will be many, many more lawsuits like this.
All of them will have the same effect.
They will paralyze the butchers with fear.
They will provide financial compensation to some of their victims, not that any financial compensation could ever be enough.
And they'll prevent many children from suffering the same fate.
So all that is true.
Now, at the same time, what's missing from this segment, and this isn't a pick on Fox.
Every mainstream outlet has this issue.
And I didn't quite understand the full picture when I first heard about this either, until you really dive into it, into the case itself.
Well, it's that the case wasn't as cut and dried as it may seem from these reports.
Only one journalist watched the entire trial play out in the courtroom, you know, being physically present there over several weeks.
His name is Benjamin Ryan of the Free Press.
And from his reports, it's very clear that the gender industry has switched into a kind of Plan B.
So they have a new game plan now that they realize that they're in a lot of trouble.
The most important takeaway from Ryan's report is that during this trial, neither side actually argued that it's wrong to perform a double mastectomy on a 16-year-old girl in order to affirm her so-called quote-unquote gender identity.
The personal injury attorney who represented the victim throughout the trial made the argument that these kinds of barbaric surgeries can be legitimate in some circumstances.
This is from Ryan's dispatch from the courtroom, quote, the plaintiff's attorney did not seek to undermine the basic principles of this medical field during litigation.
He and the three defendants' attorneys maintained a consensus throughout the trial that mastectomies are an appropriate treatment for certain minors with gender dysphoria, a psychiatric diagnosis characterized by persistent distress over a conflict between a person's gender identity and birth sex.
Now, this is an important clarification that most outlets are missing.
Maybe this was a strategic decision since the jury was based in New York, or maybe the lawyers actually believe that nonsense, the nonsense that there are times when these double mastectomies can be legitimate, which they never are, unless it's to treat an actual medical illness like cancer or something.
Now, whatever the case, it's vital to understand that this trial didn't address the issue directly of whether children should be disfigured by gender doctors in general.
Instead, the case was about whether this particular child in this particular case was not treated in a professional manner.
This is an important paragraph from the Free Press.
I'm going to read all of it.
Here's what it says, quote, the lawsuit also accused both the psychologist and the plastic surgeon of failing to thoroughly explain the risks and benefits of the surgery.
The plaintiff's attorney alleged that the providers had each failed to properly caution that the surgery might not meet the teenagers' expectations or address her psychological struggles, and in particular, that she might regret it.
At the crux of the case was the psychologist's referral letter for surgery, which made no mention of what the plaintiff's attorney insisted was a required diagnosis, gender dysphoria.
The psychologist wrote that the victim suffered from body dysmorphia, which involves overwhelming rumination over a perceived physical flaw, a diagnosis that is actually a widely accepted reason not to perform plastic surgery.
That letter to me is a stop sign, testified Dr. Lauren Schechter, who is chief of gender affirmation surgery at Russia University Medical Center in Chicago.
I looked at this case really hoping and even with an expectation that there would be enough to support the plastic surgeon's care.
He said, and I couldn't do that.
Schechter is also the president-elect of the World Professional Association for Transgender Health, WPATH, whose trans care guidelines are widely referenced.
Now, that's an incredible paragraph on many levels.
First of all, as we've discussed at length on the show, WPATH is not even close to a legitimate medical organization.
In the Vanderbilt case that went to the Supreme Court and the WPATH files, the organization was exposed as, of course, a collection of quacks, mad scientists who, by their own admission, have no idea what they're doing.
This is from Clarence Thomas's opinion on the Scrametti case.
For example, quote, recent revelations suggest that WPATH, long considered a standard bearer in treating pediatric gender dysphoria, see brief for the United States, bases its guidance on insufficient evidence and allows politics to influence its medical conclusions.
Beyond the lack of consensus over the efficacy and ethics of pediatric sex transition treatments, these developments provide states even stronger reasons for treating supposed authorities in this area with skepticism.
WPATH itself recognizes that evidence supporting the efficacy of puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones, and surgical intervention for treating gender dysphoria and children is lacking.
WPATH also routinely changes their so-called standards.
They change their guidelines on the appropriate age levels for administering cross-sex hormones multiple times, including in 1997, 2012, and 2022.
WPATH doesn't support their standards with any kind of rigorous medical analysis.
They're just making this stuff up.
They were founded by genuine lunatics who destroyed the lives of children.
They acknowledged in internal communications that children can't really consent to any of this.
So put simply, WPATH exists for one purpose, which is providing a collection of fake experts that major hospitals can hide behind when they're asked why they mutilated a child.
And yet here we have the present-elect, Lauren Schechter, who's a, by the way, evil, disgusting human being who's mutilated many, many children.
And here he is taking the stand in this case for the benefit of the plaintiff who's suing a gender doctor.
Well, everyone should understand what's going on here.
WPATH and the trans industry in general, what they're trying to do, they're playing a game here.
They're trying to carve out a kind of legal safe haven.
They want to present themselves as a serious medical organization with real standards.
And as part of that ruse, they need to sacrifice some of their foot soldiers who got caught in the act.
But WPATH knows that the difference between body dysmorphia and gender dysphoria is nothing.
It's a semantic distinction at best, especially in this case.
They know that doctors all over the country are currently doing exactly what these two doctors did.
They're rushing children into undergoing surgery and taking all kinds of horrific medications in order to affirm their fake genders and make some money in the process.
That's what all these doctors are doing.
WPATH is trying to distance itself from these kinds of practices as if it's kind of a one-off situation, but it's not a one-off.
This is the entire industry.
Doctors Rushing Children00:14:51
In no universe is it reasonable to mutilate a child under any circumstance.
There is no situation where anything like this could be remotely justified.
The chemical and physical mutilation of children and adults for that matter is wrong and barbaric in principle in all cases.
And everybody knows that.
What we're seeing from the ghouls at WPATH is the last dying gasp of an organization that needs to be shut down immediately.
And that probably won't be around much longer if these lawsuits continue.
Every element of this case was a dead ringer for stories we've heard a million times before.
For example, during the trial, we heard that psychologists browbeat the victim's father, saying that his daughter would commit suicide unless she could, quote, transition, which is a very familiar lie that trans activists will recite, even though the ACLU's top lawyer was forced to admit in front of the Supreme Court that there's no evidence whatsoever to suggest that the proposition is actually true.
But this is what they all say.
The psychologist also told the victim's father on a recorded call, quote, I don't question people when they want to go through with this.
I don't question them when they want to go through with this.
Isn't that like your job?
And we all know that this is the standard of care that all young people can expect if they go to a doctor and say they're confused about their gender.
But WPATH is hoping that this case will be seen as a one-off.
What the game WPATH is playing, because they have no other choice, is they're saying that, yeah, well, this was bad, but that's not what we do.
This is totally different because they knew they're going to lose the case.
So they knew they were going to lose the case.
And so either WPATH could come out and say, this is terrible.
These people are good doctors.
They could either do that or they could say, yeah, but that's totally different.
We don't.
That's completely different from what we're doing over here.
They chose the latter option as a strategy.
And indeed, the doctors involved in the case seem to fall on the sword.
Again, this is from the free press, quote, if the victim's lawsuit had a smoking gun, it was the case notes from an LGBTQ-focused nonprofit in Albany, New York called the Pride Center.
Two months after she started coming out publicly as transgender, the victim first broached her desire for a mastectomy in therapy.
On her second visit, just four and a half months before the surgery, the victim told a Pride Center staffer that she had continued to question her gender identity recently and felt lost at this time, according to notes from her visit.
Critically, the psychologist never requested those notes.
So the plastic surgeon never learned of their contents.
The surgeon said, if he had known about the notes, I would not have proceeded with the surgery.
The psychologist admitted that he departed from the standard of care by writing the letter, given that he lacked such important information.
So the buck stops with these two doctors is what we're supposed to take away from this.
They basically said on the stand that, you know, the standards of care are good.
They deviated from the sacred standard of care that supposedly exists in the field of trans medicine.
And so don't blame the standards.
Blame them.
Well, it's all such a farce.
They all know there are no standards.
They all know they're pressuring, you know, confused people to mutilate themselves for their own financial benefits.
But this is the defense they're going with.
I mean, it's really no different than a couple of like low-level goons taking the fall to protect the mob bosses because the other option is that they get thrown in the river with cinder blocks chained to their ankles.
That's the basic idea.
The fact is that the entire gender affirmation field is nothing but industrialized, systematic, psychological, physical, and sexual abuse of children.
That's what it is.
That's what it's always been.
And it's what the left has supported and promoted and foisted onto society for a long time.
And if for some reason you were inclined to give these people the benefit of the doubt, inclined to believe that they didn't understand maybe what they were doing or what they were supporting, look at how the sane people, the left, how they're reacting to the deportations that are underway right now in cities like Minneapolis.
Utterly horrified and outraged to the point that they're throwing their lives away in some cases about the fact that ICE is deporting criminals who have no right to be in this country, first of all.
And more specifically, they're upset that we're deporting thousands of predators and perverts and child abusers that the left imported into the United States.
The leftist organizations who are now claiming to be outraged, deeply, profoundly outraged about the fact that a teenager was physically abused and mutilated in New York by two quack doctors are the same organizations that are currently enraged about the deportation of illegal aliens who have abused young women after crossing our border and abused children.
It's a whole bunch of predators and child rapists.
Now, of course, whenever you point this out, leftists will argue that, well, actually, illegal aliens don't commit many crimes at all.
It's American citizens who do all the crime, we're told.
Now, they know it's absurd because frankly, we can look and see with our own eyes and we can see what these illegal aliens are doing.
But they think they can get away with it because with making this claim because they know that for the most part, it's very difficult to track crimes that are committed by illegal aliens.
Most states don't track crimes by illegal immigrants at all.
And many of the crimes aren't reported in the first place, in part because in some cases, the victims are also illegal aliens as well.
And many of the perpetrators flee to foreign countries.
Very few of them have their DNA on file in the FBI database and so on and so on and so on.
So it's very hard to track this stuff officially.
But even with the data we do have, it's obvious they're lying.
As the GOP recently put it in a post on their official account, quote, according to Texas records, illegal aliens are convicted of homicide 32% more frequently than the rest of the Texas population.
The rate for sexual assault is 91% higher.
Yes, when it comes to sexual assault, the rate of conviction among illegal aliens in Texas is more than 90% higher than it is for native Texans and legal immigrants.
90%.
And their conviction rate for murder is much higher too.
Now, when I looked into this to see where the Republican Party was getting their numbers from, I found that Texas is one of the very few states that actually tracks crimes committed by illegal aliens.
Apparently, it's an anomaly in the U.S. for anyone to monitor this kind of information because in most cases, the people that would do the monitoring don't want to know.
They don't want us to know.
The people that we would depend on to monitor this stuff and catalog it and tell us about it.
Well, there's no political benefit for them in doing that.
Now, in Texas, they are doing it.
So if you go on the website of the Texas Department of Public Safety, you'll find that, quote, 466,000 criminal non-citizens have been booked into local Texas jails between June 1st, 2011, and December 31st, 2025, of which over 335,000 were classified as illegal non-citizens by DHS.
Over the course of their entire Texas criminal careers, these 335,000 illegal non-citizens were charged with more than 800,000 criminal offenses, which include arrests for 1,700 homicide charges, 5,000 robbery charges, 10,000 sexual assault charges, 11,000 sexual offense charges, and 12,000 weapon charges.
And all these numbers are rounded down, by the way.
Additionally, the website states, quote, between June 1st, 2011 and December 31st, 2025, these 335,000 illegal non-citizens were charged with more than 595,000 criminal offenses, which included arrests for 1,100 homicide charges, 78,000 assault charges, 76,000 or 7,600 sexual assault charges, 8,600 sexual offense charges, and 7,500 weapon charges.
So we can infer that illegal aliens in Texas often have rather lengthy criminal careers spanning many different charges across many different years.
And we can also infer that no estimate about their crimes is going to be exact because there's so much data that is unaccounted for.
For example, we're not even counting the illegal aliens who committed sex crimes in foreign countries before arriving in the U.S.
And there are plenty of those people too, even though states can't easily track any of that.
Here's a report from 2024, for example, watch.
According to a letter that the acting director of ICE just sent to Texas Congressman Tony Gonzalez, on ICE's non-detained docket, they're currently tracking 425,000 non-citizens who have been convicted of a crime.
Of that number, over 13,000 non-citizens have convictions for homicide and are on the non-detained docket, meaning they're roaming the country right now.
On top of that, there are another 15,811 non-citizens convicted of sexual assault who are roaming the country right now on ICE's non-detained docket.
It doesn't stop there.
Those are convictions.
The ICE director also says there are currently just under 1,900 non-citizens on the non-detained docket who have pending homicide charges who are roaming the country and another 4,250 non-citizens who have pending sexual assault charges who are roaming the country on the non-detained dockets.
Well, these are staggering numbers, obviously, but if you doubt them, all you have to do is take a look at any other state or country.
Yes, any other state or country that's imported large numbers of foreigners from the third world.
You'll find the same statistics.
In late 2024, for example, district attorneys and sheriff's offices in the state of Tennessee tracked crimes that were committed by illegal aliens.
It was kind of an experiment.
Only 73 out of 95 counties participated, with 22 counties failing to respond at all.
But the numbers they recorded were nonetheless remarkable.
In just three months, illegal aliens committed 11 murders, three child rapes, 18 rapes overall, 80 aggravated assaults, and 21 cases of child abuse.
Now, again, given the population of Tennessee and the relative minority of illegal aliens, these are wildly disproportionate.
Take a look overseas and you see the same figures and sometimes in even starker terms.
In Germany, foreigners commit five times more sexual assaults and rape than the locals.
Five times more.
And so-called asylum seekers commit 15 times more sexual assaults and rape.
Meanwhile, in Finland, Middle East and North African residents commit nearly 18 times more rapes than native Finns per capita.
And these are statistics that repeat always and everywhere, which is why many European countries and American states have stopped counting the number of crimes that are committed by illegal aliens.
Again, they don't want us to know.
So these are all important things to discuss anytime, but especially this week, as so many people on the left pretend to care about the Epstein files, something they never cared about until the day Trump became president.
And they don't care at all.
Like they don't actually care.
I care.
I think the Epstein files are extremely important, which is why I did a 40-minute monologue on the subject yesterday.
I gave you a deeper dive than you'll find on almost any other podcast on the subject.
I've also been talking about Epstein and calling for transparency and justice for the victims for many years now.
The story matters.
And if the ultimate goal is to put an end to the sexual abuse of children and to hold accountable those who participate or allow it to happen, and indeed a worthier goal cannot be imagined, then we need to discuss the horrific sex crimes that are being committed every day In this country, by fake gender doctors and illegal aliens.
You cannot claim to give the slightest damn about Epstein's crimes if, in the next moment, you're rioting for the sake of illegal alien rapists and coming to the defense of so-called medical professionals who have made millions of dollars off of the sexual butchery of children.
Now, no trans activist or leftist is going to be swayed by any of these arguments, as we all know.
They're going to take the same approach they did in that New York trial.
They're going to deflect and come up with all kinds of clever defenses in order to distract from what's going on and what's coming.
But at this point, what's coming is fairly obvious.
To bring this all the way back to the beginning of what we were talking about, let's just say it out loud.
The total collapse of the trans movement is officially upon us.
Even as they try to play these games, even as they try to play this game here and pretend, well, those people, they're not like us.
They didn't follow the standards of care.
It's not going to work.
And in the next few years, every Frankenstein gender butcher and perverted medical professional who profited off of the sexual mutilation of children will be sued into oblivion.
Now, this story should end with these mad scientists convicted in a court of law and then hanging from the gallows.
Instead, it will end with them bankrupted and disgraced, which isn't as good, but will have to be good enough.
And as the years pass, those who supported this madness will, you know, quietly retreat into the bushes and pretend that none of this ever happened, or at least that they had no hand in it.
And we shouldn't let them.
I mean, the trans movement will go down as the most deranged form of mass hysteria that human civilization has ever seen.
We should make sure that history accurately records who went along with it and who had the courage to stand against it, even when the hysteria was at its peak and there was little to be gained and much to lose in doing so.
The same is true for the open borders leftists, the Renee Goods and Alex Pretties who fought and died on behalf of Somali scammers and Mexican rapists.
People who fell on the wrong side of these issues should never be trusted again.
They should be shamed and disgraced and forced to live with the humiliation for the rest of their days.
We cannot stop the rats from fleeing the ship, but we can and we must remember their names.
Now let's get to our five headlines.

I sure want to start with this.
And, you know, I hate to do this two days in a row.
Yesterday we talked about the idiot musicians at the Grammys.
They're complaining about ICE and deportations.
And who cares what they say?
Agreed.
I get it.
And now I'm going to tell you about Lady Gaga, who went on a rant about the same subject when she was doing a show in Japan.
This is from a couple of days ago.
But there's an important point to be made here, aside from the fact that she's a moron.
I mean, that's the obvious part, but there is a deeper point.
But first, here's Lady Gaga.
To talk about something that's extremely important to me.
Something important to people all over the world, and especially in America right now.
In a couple of days, I'm going to be heading home, and my heart is aching thinking about the people, the children, the families all over America who are being mercilessly targeted by ICE.
I'm thinking about all of their pain and how their lives are being destroyed right in front of us.
I'm also thinking about Minnesota and everyone back at home who is living in so much fear and searching for answers on what we all should do.
When entire communities lose their sense of safety and belonging, it breaks something in all of us.
i hope that you'll all stand with us tonight i know we're not in america right now but we are with our community and we love you Okay, so there's Lady Gaga in Japan speaking out against American immigration enforcement.
Now, as others have pointed out, but really cannot be pointed out enough, Japan is a very interesting place to deliver that rather uninspiring, uninspiring, and uninspired speech.
You know, immigration law in Japan is extremely strict and it's very, very, very heavily enforced.
Japan is a country that has few immigrants, and the immigrants who are admitted are required to follow very strict rules.
And if they break the rules, they're kicked out of the country, which is why like 3% of Japan's population is foreign-born.
And in America, that number, the number of foreign-born, is five times higher, five or six times higher.
That doesn't even count the illegal immigrants.
So just legal foreign-born, it's five or six times higher.
In Japan, you know, to immigrate there and get permanent residence or become a naturalized citizen is extremely difficult.
Very few immigrants are granted that.
They put a really high premium on citizenship and a high emphasis on assimilation.
Most foreigners in Japan, the few that are allowed in, are there on temporary visas, which are also hard to get.
And there are a lot of rules.
And if you break the rules or you overstay or do anything like that, they'll deport you.
And that's it.
And there's not even, there's no real discussion about it.
It's not really controversial.
It's just these are the rules, follow the rules.
And you're a guest in this country.
You know, we have laws in this country.
You're expected to follow them.
If you come here and you don't obey the laws, you're out.
If you don't respect our rules, if you don't respect our culture, you're out.
That's the system in Japan.
And I don't say this as a criticism, by the way.
It's a good system.
It's the right system.
I wish it was our system.
But the point is that Trump's immigration enforcement is, I don't know, 100 times more relaxed and generous than Japan's.
So if you object to what Trump is doing, you should object to what Japan is doing even more.
Especially if you say that, well, borders don't exist and we're all citizens of the world.
In that case, you can't say, well, that's Japan.
This is America.
What do you mean?
It's all the same.
Aren't we all citizens of the world?
What difference does that make?
I mean, America doesn't exist.
Japan doesn't exist.
We're all just people, man.
We're all just people living on the globe.
And so you should certainly object to what Japan is doing.
And yet she's in Japan, which is more guilty of being unwelcoming to foreigners than Trump.
And you're attacking Trump for doing less of the thing than the country you're currently in is doing.
Now, this is obviously cowardice and hypocrisy.
All of that is clear, but it also goes to show just the fundamental unseriousness of the criticism that these people are making here, because they actually have no problem in principle with immigration enforcement.
They have no problem in principle with borders.
They have no problem with border walls and border fences.
They have no problem in principle with deportations.
They have no problem with immigrants being arrested and rounded up and kicked out of the country.
They have no problem with assimilation being emphasized over and at the expense of racial and ethnic diversity.
They have no problem in principle with any of those things.
They just don't want America to do it.
In fact, every other country on the planet, well, every non-Western country on the planet, every country that is not predominantly white, can do all that stuff.
No problem.
They will not say anything about it.
They don't care.
In fact, they'll even go to those countries where these things are happening and complain about America doing less of that thing.
They don't want Western, predominantly white countries to do it.
That's it.
That's a fact.
Deportations, immigration enforcement, walls, you know, all that kind of stuff.
They got no problem with it.
They never object to any other country doing it unless it's a white country.
And what does that tell you?
What does that tell you?
If the left's position, and this is their, this is not a straw man.
This is actually their position.
If their position is predominantly white countries should not enforce their immigration laws, but countries that are not predominantly white can.
If that's your position, then why?
What's the point, really?
What are you really up to?
Well, the point is that you don't want there to be any predominantly white countries.
So the problem here on the left is not immigration enforcement per se, as we've already established.
They got no issue with that.
The vast majority of countries on the planet do all of that, and they do it a lot more, and it's a lot more brutal.
And they got no problem, no problem with any of it.
It's only if predominantly white countries do it.
So the issue is not immigration enforcement.
The issue is the existence of predominantly white countries, which is another way of saying that their real issue is with the existence of white people.
That's what this is.
And to anyone who's remotely paying attention, nothing I'm saying is shocking.
All right.
You know, as I've said, I think we like to think that wokeness is over, wokeness is dead, but it isn't.
You know, wokeness is leftism.
Leftism is wokeness.
It's not going to go away until it's fully and finally defeated, which it has not been, or even anything close to that.
What might happen, what perhaps is happening right now, kind of on the same subject, is that the left is to some degree moving away from the LGBT stuff to some degree.
I'm not saying all that stuff is over, but I think it's pretty clear they're retreating from it a little bit, not because of any kind of moral reform within the movement, but simply because it's become too embarrassing for them.
The excesses of the LGBT movement, which, yes, you could say the entire movement itself is excess, but which is true.
The excesses have made leftism too vulnerable to attack.
It's too embarrassing.
Like they leaned into that stuff so much and it became so humiliating that now they're starting to back away a little bit.
And that's why no Democrat official is eager to talk about trans rights anymore.
They're not talking about it.
They don't want to talk about it.
They don't want to discuss it.
You don't, have you noticed that recently, over the last couple of years, we don't see the drag queens parading around?
I mean, there were a few years there where the left, they would just incorporate drag queens into everything.
They couldn't get enough of it.
No matter what was going on, no matter what they were doing, any subject as, oh, here's a drag queen.
Doesn't matter what it is.
They could be having a debate on trade or the economy.
And it's like, here's what a drag queen has to say about that.
And they're not really doing that anymore either.
But because it's embarrassing.
But I think what we will also see and are seeing is that as they shift away to some degree from defending drag queens and transgenders and furries and all those people, they're going to double and triple down on the racial narrative.
The racial victim narrative, as we're seeing right now in Minneapolis, is far more enduring and far more useful to them and far more potent historically.
Racial wokeness is not anywhere close to dead.
Ash Wednesday is just two weeks away, so you're probably starting to think about what you're giving up for Lent.
Chocolate, social media, usual suspects.

Over in the NFL, 10 head coaching vacancies have been filled, or nine have been filled, and then a 10th is going to be filled.
It's expected in the next week or two.
So 10 head coaches have been, you know, nine slash 10 have been hired.
None of them were black.
And this is supposed to be deeply disturbing and concerning, we are told.
So the semi-literate race hustlers over on ESPN, they're freaking out about it.
They're crying about racism.
Think pieces are being furiously typed out and published.
Or if not typed out, they're being furiously fed into ChatGPT and then spit out.
Here's an article in the athletic, which is owned by the New York Times.
Here's what it says.
The results are in.
Nine NFL head coaching jobs have been filled.
The last one is all but closed.
The Las Vegas Raiders are expected to finalize a deal with Seattle Seahawks offensive coordinator Clint Kubiak after the Super Bowl.
Most of these franchises didn't reset.
Their owners reverted to predictable dysfunction.
The NFL is trapped in this loop because the people with ultimate authority have little desire to evolve.
Over and over again, the owners opt for organizational stagnation and attempt to disguise it as prudence.
That's how you end up with the damning statistic that will define this carousel.
0 for 10.
In a league that still recites diversity statements and upholds Rooney rule interview requirements, no black head coaches were hired.
Zero.
About one third of the NFL was looking for new leaders.
Roughly 70% of the players are African-American, but zero.
Robert Sala, who is Lebanese American, was the only minority coach deemed worthy of an opportunity.
The 2025 season began with five blackhead coaches.
Three remain.
It's an old, sad, and inevitable reality.
On Sunday, NFL teams spammed social media with their Black History Month post.
A few hours later, this hiring cycle ended.
And a number spoke louder than any of their virtue signaling.
Zero.
The results are in.
And those posts mean nothing.
Okay, so damning.
It's damning.
No black head coaches were hired.
Never mind the fact that, and I've seen some conservatives reacting to this, posting it and say, oh, we're still doing this.
We're still doing this whole thing.
Yeah.
Yeah, we're still doing it.
This is not going away.
This is not going away.
As I said, maybe they back away from some of the trans stuff.
They might back away from it.
They're not backing away from the race stuff.
They're not going to back away from it.
They never will.
So, yeah, no black head coaches were hired.
Never mind the fact that black people are vastly overrepresented in the NFL by a huge margin.
Never mind the fact that if you look at a list of the 50 highest paid players in the league, the majority will be black.
Never mind the fact that 30 to 40% of assistant coaches are black, which is again a huge overrepresentation.
Never mind in general that claiming anti-black discrimination in the NFL of all places, a place where the majority of millionaires who work there are black, is retarded.
Never mind all that.
This is damn.
It's damning.
Damning.
It's racism.
By the way, Roger Goodell, the NFL commissioner, was asked about this, this damning, this damning statistic.
And here's what he said.
I think we need to continue to make progress.
And I believe that.
I believe diversity is good for us.
I think we have become a more diverse league across every platform, including coaching.
But we still have more work to do.
There's got to be more steps.
So we're reevaluating everything we're doing, including our accelerator program, including every aspect of our policies and our programs to meet the challenges of today and tomorrow rather than yesterday.
So we need to be looking at that and sort of say, okay, why did we have the results this year?
What is it that we can be doing in training or education?
And that goes for not just the candidates, but also the clubs and how we can try to continue to increase the opportunities and the outcomes ultimately.
Yeah, well, guess what, Roger?
If you want the NFL to become more diverse, guess what that means?
It means it should be less black.
Making the NFL more diverse means you need to have fewer black people in it.
A real diversity campaign in the NFL would be, there's too many black people.
We need fewer of them.
You know, a real diversity initiative in the NFL would be putting quotas for white people and caps on the number of black people allowed.
It should not be, oh, you have to interview a black person.
It should be more like, no, we need more white people.
Here's the limit of black people you're allowed to have in your organization.
You're way over it.
So fire all the rest of them, the leftovers, and hire some white people.
That's if this is really about racial diversity, that's what you would do.
Because the NFL is already majority black.
Black people are hugely overrepresented in comparison with their population size.
So if you want to increase diversity, that would mean decreasing the number of black people in the league.
Increasing the number of black people in the league actually is decreasing diversity.
So what he's talking about is not more diversity.
He's saying he wants less diversity.
But we know all that because we know that we know what diversity actually means.
Diversity doesn't mean diversity.
Diversity is always every time simply code for less white.
Even if making something less white will actually make it less diverse, doesn't matter because diversity just means less white.
That's it.
And by the way, Roger, answer me this question.
It would be great if one of these incredibly stupid sports reporters would ever think to ask this.
So Roger says that the lack of blackhead coaches is a problem.
The fact that none were hired in this last cycle means there's more work to be done.
Okay, well, so tell me, Roger, of the white head coaches that were just hired, which ones do you think should not have been hired?
Which ones were undeserving of the job?
If you're saying it's a problem, more work needs to be done.
Okay, so we got these 10 white head coaches that were hired.
Which ones, where's the problem?
Which ones do you think didn't deserve the job?
Because if they all deserve their jobs, then what's the problem?
He says we need training and education, training and education.
So train them to do what?
So what you're saying is that these NFL teams hired a whitehead coach because they lacked training and education.
Training and education in what exactly?
So can you point to the actual, like, go ahead, point to the whitehead coach who should not have had the job and then point to the blackhead coach who should have the job instead of him.
But they never do that.
Of course, they never do that.

All right, let's hear something in the latest trend, parenting trend.
The Guardian has this article.
The rise of FAFO parenting, F-A-F-O parenting.
Is this the end of gentle child rearing?
It says a couple of weeks ago, a video posted on TikTok by Paige Carter, a mother in Florida, went viral.
Carter explained that she had thrown her daughter's iPad out of the window when she had been misbehaving on the way to school.
She films herself retrieving the tablet now with a cracked screen.
The video has been watched 4.9 million times.
And Carter was congratulated in the comments with one person writing, learning FAFO at an early age, top-tier parenting.
Welcome to the parenting trend that doesn't seem to be disappearing.
Around and find out.
In another video, when a small child announces he is going to leave home, his mother says, Sia, shunts the front door behind him and turns off the outside lights, then opens the door to him screaming and pounding the black back in.
It's been liked 1.5 million times.
He had learned, said his mother, the meaning of FAFO.
Last summer, a piece in the Wall Street Journal heralded the rise of FAFO parenting.
Is it FAFO?
Is that how you're supposed to pronounce that?
FAFO, FAFO.
And the end of gentle parenting, a trend that began about 10 years ago as a response to the more authoritarian, naughty step parenting of the early 2000s.
Okay, so it's the rise of F around and find out parenting.
This is a trend to supplant the gentle parenting trend.
That's what we're being told.
And I find it all very stupid.
Everything is stupid.
Everything is stupid.
And I hate it.
I hate everything and everything is stupid.
Don't get me wrong.
I agree with the principle here.
Gentle parenting is ridiculous.
I've laid out the argument against it many times.
I am not a gentle parenting advocate.
And I agree with many of the methods that are now being categorized under the F around and find out parenting trend.
But what I hate is this, that FAFO is not some crazy new trend.
Okay.
It's not a bright new idea that the parents of TikTok have figured out.
It's just called consequences.
That's it.
It's the most basic parenting concept of all time.
Okay, saying that this is a parenting trend, it's like saying that, hey, guys, here's this new trend I'm trying.
I've taught my child how to tie his shoe.
You guys want to see, let me do a TikTok video.
Check this out, guys.
I'm teaching my child how to tie his shoe.
I'm trying this new tying shoe trend.
I'm a shoe-tying parent.
I teach my kids how to tie their shoes.
No one's ever thought of this before.
This is new.
No, it's not a trend.
It's not a new method.
It's not some exciting new strategy.
You didn't need to have a TikTok video congratulating yourself.
Okay, look, moms, we don't need it.
You don't need to do a TikTok video.
Hey, look at me, you know, just doing a really basic parenting thing.
Check it out.
Everyone congratulate me.
Hurry.
Yes, the proper way to raise a child, the only way to raise a child is to put consequences in place.
That's true.
It's not a trend.
Okay.
And just like the Zoomers and millennials on TikTok are constantly claiming to have invented things that people have been doing for thousands of years.
You didn't discover anything.
There's nothing new happening here at all.
And by the way, the woman who threw the iPad out the window has done, and I'm sure, you know, she's probably a nice woman.
I got no problem with her.
But so she threw the iPad out the window and she's done multiple videos.
I went to check out her page to see what's going on.
She has like, it's like a, it's like a 20-part series of TikTok videos about the epic saga of the of the iPad being thrown out the window.
And now she's doing a media media tour to talk about.
She's doing media interviews about the fact that she threw an iPad out the window.
So here she is on Fox.
Watch.
A Florida mom going viral on TikTok for throwing her daughter's iPad out the car window after the six-year-old had a meltdown on the way to school.
Check it out.
I dropped the moth off at school and now I'm here to see if it's still here.
And it is.
Boom.
Oh, my goodness.
I love it.
That mom, Paige Carter, joins us now.
Paige, it's so great to have you on.
When we introduced this or teased the subject earlier in the show, Lucas threw in the word alleged that your child was allegedly misbehaving in the back.
I believe you.
And so she knew it.
Yeah, tell me what was happening.
Yeah, definitely.
So for a couple of weeks before this, she had just kind of been disobedient and she actually is turning seven tomorrow.
And so I think she's just learning where she can test our boundaries.
And we had taken her iPad away.
And that morning she'd been so good.
We have a 10-minute drive to school.
So I said, you know what?
I'm going to let her have it.
I'm going to reward her good behavior.
And the second we got in the car, it was just game over.
I love the chiron there.
Through child's iPad out the window is what it's breaking, breaking news.
Woman throws iPod iPad out window.
Breaking news, developing story.
iPad thrown out window.
Now, don't get me wrong.
Again, I'm totally in favor of throwing the iPad out the window.
And I am.
I'm fully in favor.
I think it's a good idea.
It's littering.
There's some littering going on.
You got to make sure you do it.
You know, you don't want to hit another child in the head who's walking to school while you're throwing the iPad out, but fine.
And I have no problem with briefly sharing an anecdote about parenting.
I do that when we talk about parents.
In fact, if you listen to the show, you know that I have shared a similar anecdote.
But there are some differences here.
First of all, I've briefly shared an anecdote about doing something similar.
I haven't chronicled it with 10 TikTok videos and a media tour.
I've just sort of mentioned it while illustrating a broader point.
And in my case, the story was that we allow our kids to use tablets, tablets without internet access, only during very long car rides only.
And they have to be very long.
And long means like six, seven, eight, 50.
We sometimes go 15 hour car rides.
And so, yeah, we'll let them use the iPads, not the entire time, but for certain, you know, legs of the journey.
And we got home after a long car ride.
And one of my kids had a bit of a meltdown because he wanted to still play with the tablet.
And so I calmly threw the tablet in the trash.
And that was that.
And it sounds like that's kind of what happened here.
I support the strategy.
You know, factor, it reminds me of one of my favorite parenting moments that I've ever witnessed.
And this is when I was a kid, like 13 or 14, I think.
This is back in the old days when, and kids these days don't know about this.
But if you wanted to listen to a song or an album, you had to physically go to it.
Can you believe that, kids?
If there's a song you wanted to hear, you had to like physically go to a place and buy the song on the album to listen to it.
So, and that was one of our favorite things to do.
So, we would go to the music store, like, uh, you know, you go to like Sam Goody or FYE.
And so, anyway, we, I got dropped off at the mall and malls used to, there's another thing that used to exist with a friend of mine.
We go to Sam Goody, we each buy a CD.
I don't remember what the CD was, but my friend's dad picks us up.
And on the way home, he says to my friend, his son, hey, let me see that CD you bought.
And so, he hands it over.
His dad takes one look at it and just chucks it out the window.
That's it.
Of course, my friend freaks out and says, Not listen to that in my house.
This is garbage.
What is this garbage?
So, I was just glad that it wasn't my dad who picked us up because then I would have been the victim of that incident.
So, the point is, I believe in consequences for children.
If the consequences involve chucking something out the window, fine.
What I hate is how everything is a trend now, when it shouldn't be a trend, it should just be like how it should be a fundamental aspect of parenting.
Consequences.
But most importantly, not to harp on Paige, the iPad mom here.
But, you know, when you offer up these kinds of stories about your personal life and about your parenting, then you go and you do mediits and stuff.
Well, you're offering it up.
And so now the rest of us are allowed to have an opinion about it.
That's what happens when you make things public.
So it must also be said that the whole incident is her fault.
Why are you giving your child an iPad on the way to school?
How long is the drive to school?
Are you going to school in a different hemisphere?
Is this a 20-hour trip to school?
No, she says it's 10 minutes.
10 minutes.
Why does she need an iPad for a 10-minute car ride?
And starting the day right before school, this is why I actually feel sorry for it.
I give teachers a hard time.
I give public school teachers a hard time because a lot of them are terrible, but not all of them.
And I do have a lot of sympathy for them, actually.
And this is it right here.
What do you expect teachers to do?
Okay, you're starting the day before school.
It's like seven in the morning.
And so you're going to make sure that your child is overstimulated with an iPad.
Just setting your kid up for failure and the teachers.
So they're going to get overstimulated, play around with an iPad, and then you're just going to drop her off at school and expect her to sit at her desk, sit there still and quiet, listening to the teacher.
So what happens here is that, you know, you're being lazy as a parent.
You give your child an iPad so you don't have to deal with them for 10 minutes.
Like just it's 10 minutes and you're dropping them off at school.
You won't even see them for eight hours or whatever, seven, six hours, whatever it is.
Just talk to your kid for 10 minutes or don't.
Just let me have them sit there.
But you give your child an iPad for 10 minutes, it backfires and then you get pissed and chucked it out, chuck it out the window.
And then go retrieve it and give it back to them anyway.
So it's like, it's not even really any consequence.
The consequence, it's like performative.
I mean, if you're going to go with the child, if it's like, okay, we're going to throw this thing out, then throw it out.
Like throw it out for real.
Otherwise, it's not a consequence.
So then what was the whole point?
What was the point of it?
It seems like the point was just for TikTok then.
Like there's no actual consequence here.
This all happened because of something you did.
You screwed up.
Giving your kid an iPad to play with for 10 minutes before school is crazy.
There's no good reason to do it, period.
Why not give them like cookie?
How about you?
Give them cookies and cake too on the way to school.
Sugar them up, cookies, cake, empty calories, iPad, video games, and then just send them to school.
Not my problem.
How about doing that?
That's a great idea.
If you're tired of feeling like crap and want to be healthier in 2026, you need to throw some colostrum into your daily routine.
Why Space Exploration Isn't Pointless00:05:27
Our sponsor, Cowboy Colostrum, is as legit as you can get.

Okay.
Very briefly, I'm going to mention this too, because if I had it sitting here, this is the NBC News article.
In just over a week, four astronauts could launch toward the moon for the first time in more than 50 years.
The crew, nastronauts, astronauts Reed Wiseman, Christina Cook, Victor Glover, and Canadian astronaut Jeremy Hansen are set to fly on NASA's Artemis II mission, a 10-day journey that will take them swinging around the moon.
Their path through space will take the group farther from the Earth than humanity has ever gone, surpassing the Apollo 13 record of 248,655 miles set in 1970.
The group will not land on the moon's surface, but the flight is meant to kickstart a new era of lunar exploration, paving the way for a moon landing in the coming years.
Now, I should mention, I just saw the most recent update, just like right before we started filming, and the mission has been pushed back by a few weeks to March now because of a technical issue or something that they're having.
But in any case, whether it happens next week or it happens in a couple of weeks, how is this not the biggest news on the planet, or at least in the country?
How is this not the biggest news in America?
How is it not?
Human beings are about to go farther into space than we've ever gone before.
How is it not a bigger deal?
Why is no one excited about it?
Why am I the only one excited?
Why is it me and like 10 other people?
This is big news.
And I don't want to hear anyone say, as I've already heard, that this is pointless.
Yeah, I was posting about it a couple of days ago, posting about my excitement, and there were a lot of comments saying, this is pointless.
Pointless.
What's the point?
Pointless?
Like, if going into space and doing something that's never been done before, like you're going farther into space than anyone has ever done, that's if that's pointless, then everything you do every day is pointless.
Your life is pointless.
What do you think?
If you could look at space exploration and say, pointless, who cares?
What is it that you do in your everyday life that you think has more of a point than that?
If you're not impressed by that, then like, what have you ever been impressed by ever in your life?
What do you consider impressive?
Nothing?
It's amazing.
People who spend their whole day staring at their phones, doing nothing, worried about the most irrelevant and trivial nonsense.
They're saying it's pointless to fly into space and visit the moon.
You know, you've got people that just sit there all day, just like looking at their phone.
This is all they do.
All they do all day is just this.
And you tell them that, hey, we're flying into space.
Pointless.
Who cares?
I don't have time for that.
I got like these people, this is all they do all day, just scrolling on the phone, getting mad about like the casting in the new Marvel movie.
Avengers doomsday.
What they, they, they care about the, like they're getting mad about whoever's being cast in the new Avengers Doomsday.
But going into space is not important.
This new Marvel movie, that's what's important.
I don't know.
I don't get it.
That's what it comes.
It's an existential question.
If going into space is pointless, I really like, really think about this.
If going into space is pointless, then what is the point of literally anything you have ever done in your life?
Have you ever done anything with a greater point?
Yeah.
I only care about things that have a greater purpose than going into space, says a guy who spends 19 hours a day watching brain rot on his phone.
Like, what the hell are you talking about?

So we will track this story.
I was excited about the idea that was happening next week, but, you know, we'll have to wait a couple more weeks.
And I will, I'm a little bit, I'll admit, I'm a little pissed that they're including a Canadian.
I don't know why we have to give the Canadian.
Why does the Canadian get to, I mean, you know, we could just make this totally an American thing.
But, but, you know, that's fine.
I won't let that.
I won't let that dampen my excitement at all.
I think that this is great and will be an enormous achievement.
And we'll leave on that somewhat positive note.
Talk to you tomorrow.
Have a great day.
godspeed they told you america invented slavery They told you the Indians were peaceful.
They told you colonialism was evil and that Joseph McCarthy was a bad guy.
And guess what?
They lied.
For half a century, generations of American school children have been taught to hate our history, hate our country, and hate themselves.
Time to set the record straight.
And since no one else is going to do it, I will.
Who sold us the slaves?
What were India and Africa like before Europeans arrived?
What caused white flight?
Some of the most well-known stories from American history are designed to demoralize you.
Trail of Tears, Smallpox, Blankets Myth, Red Scare.
It's all baseless.
It's time for a lesson on what they're not teaching in public schools on the real history of slavery, of colonialism, the Indians, of America, and the world.
