Ep. 1736 - DEI Disaster: Washington DC Is Now Literally Flooded with Poop
Today on the Matt Walsh Show, it's not getting much attention from the media but one of the worst ecological disasters in American history is currently unfolding. A river of sewage is flowing into the Potomac. When you dig into this story, and who is responsible for it, you start to see why the media doesn't want to talk about it. Also, Canada euthanized a man with seasonal depression. This is yet one more atrocity committed by the Canadian regime, which I would argue is among the most evil on Earth. So when do we overthrow them, if we're in the business of overthrowing evil regimes? And CNN launches an attack on "Christian nationalism," but accidentally makes Christian nationalism sound great.

Today, the Matt Wall Show, it's not getting much attention from the media, but one of the worst ecological disasters in American history is currently unfolding, a river of sewage flowing into the Potomac.
When you dig into the story and who is responsible for it, you start to see why the media doesn't want to talk about it.
Also, Canada euthanized a man with seasonal depression.
This is yet one more atrocity committed by the Canadian regime, which I would argue is among the most evil on earth.
So, when do we overthrow them if we're in the business of overthrowing evil regimes?
And CNN launches an attack on Christian nationalism, but accidentally makes Christian nationalism sound great, which it is.
All of that and more today on The Matt Wall Show.
Well, just as a matter of historical fact, ever since the Cold War ended, Americans haven't spent that much time thinking about day-to-day life in other countries.
But not too long ago, our leaders would encourage us to compare the quality of life in the United States with the quality of life in foreign nations.
It happened all the time.
That was the idea behind the kitchen debate, which Nixon attended in Moscow.
Americans had nicer kitchens, well-stocked supermarkets, air conditioning, independent furnaces, thermostats.
Meanwhile, the Soviets had breadlines.
Commissars determined the precise level of heating they were entitled to on any given day.
Anyone who simply looked at day-to-day life in the Soviet Union and then looked at the United States would correctly conclude that we were on the right track and the Soviets were not.
It's interesting that we don't see many comparisons like this anymore.
You never see any of the big broadcasters telling you to zoom out and consider what daily life is like and say South Africa, because instead they'll bombard you with endless stories about a celebrity kidnapping or routine immigration enforcement or dumb podcast drama.
And that's too bad because serious comparisons to other countries would be very illuminating right now.
Spend a few minutes doing it and you'll quickly discover just how third world and dysfunctional we are becoming thanks to major Democrat-run cities.
Consider this recent report from South Africa.
This is just a random news report I found from a couple of months ago, but it's illuminating.
Watch.
All right, let's bring in the Cajiso community.
Pardon me, the Cacazo community, just as background for you, is just one of many across the country grappling with this issue of a sewage spill crisis.
Less and less wastewater is being treated in South Africa, even though our population is growing.
In fact, recent data showing that the volume of wastewater reaching South Africa's treatment plants did not grow from 2013 to 2021, even though the population increased by almost more than five and a half million people, so about 10%.
So this means, according to the research you've done, Mark, that the wastewater is going missing somewhere along the route to the wastewater treatment works.
I mean, we've seen an example of that in the community of Cajiso, west of Johannesburg, where there are pipes that are just spilling out.
Like you can see the pipe is constantly pushing out vast amounts of water.
And residents say, just because of merely because of the stench in the area, that it must be leaking sewage.
This sewage here is flowing directly from the plant works in the yacht.
And as you can see, it's untreated.
It's flowing in this direction a few hundred meters on this paddle.
That's where it meets the Blue Hat Sprite, the river.
And at that point, the water turns black as it mixes with this hit from the west.
So it's no mystery why they have a big cholera and E. coli problem over there.
In addition to South Africa's many other issues, including having the worst employment rate in the world, unemployment rate in the world, collapsing buildings in every street, a failing electric grid, mass violence against white people, and so on, they now have fecal matter in the water.
And indeed, that's a defining characteristic of virtually every third world nation, especially many nations in Africa.
Now, it wasn't always like this in South Africa because before they kicked the white people out of positions of power and then stole their farmland and shot them, the infrastructure was a lot more stable.
But now that racial equity has been achieved in South Africa, the residents are noticing that it's not safe to fish or drink the water or go for a swim.
So then you have to ask the million-dollar question, could those two developments, the racial equity and the poop in the water, possibly be connected?
One way to answer this challenging question is to compare South Africa's headlines to our own in the United States.
This is from NBC News reporting in America just the other day.
Watch.
The River George Washington called the Nation's River is tonight off limits and contaminated after a 60-year-old sewage line in Maryland broke open last month, spewing more than 240 million gallons of raw waste into the river.
The same river that flows past the Kennedy Center and the Lincoln Memorial and used by boaters, kayakers, high school, and college rowing teams.
So you can see some of the toilet paper and the sewage up on the banks here.
Riverkeeper Dean No Yokes says the stench and environmental damage are staggering, with E. coli levels more than 10,000 times above EPA quality standards at the time of the spill.
While slowly coming down, health experts warn no one should be boating, fishing, or even touching the Potomac.
Is drinking water at all affected here?
No.
From day one, drinking water has never been impacted by this.
But massive boulders that collapsed into the six-foot-wide pipe are delaying the repair.
So more than 240 million gallons of sewage have entered the Potomac River and counting.
That's by far the largest sewage spill in American history.
And although the pipe burst in Maryland, D.C. Water Department owns the pipe that's affected, and they are responsible for containing it.
So how big of a disaster is this?
Well, for comparison, during the Deepwater Horizon disaster, around 140 million gallons of oil were released into the Gulf.
So the scale of Deepwater Horizon was smaller, a lot smaller.
And they had movies and congressional hearings about that one.
By contrast, the situation in D.C. isn't attracting very much attention at all.
And local officials aren't doing much either.
The sewage is just flowing directly into the water, as you can see.
And although it's too early to know exactly what happened here, there's reason to believe, if you can imagine, that government incompetence is the direct cause of the disaster that is still currently unfolding.
As the account NOVA Campaigns has pointed out, quote, what's going unreported is that the Potomac Interceptor sewage spill, largest in U.S. history, is happening just a thousand feet down from where contractors for the D.C. Water Department have been rehabilitating the sewer line since September 8th, 2025, via the slip-lining process.
The work, which started September 8th, focuses on restoring an 800-foot segment of the sanitary sewer system.
And one of those contractors less than a year ago was reportedly sued by the D.C. government for recklessly contaminating the DC waterways.
So it's a little suspicious.
Could this be why a large section of the Potomac interceptor sewer line, which takes sewage to a water treatment plant, just collapsed?
Did the DC government hire an incompetent contractor who the DC government knew from experience was incompetent, which in turn messed up this slip-lining procedure?
Did the pressure after the new pipe was installed get too high?
Was there some other failure that was involved?
We don't know exactly.
But in case you're not familiar, slip lining, according to the D.C. government's website, involves excavating two holes and inserting large pipe segments into them, which are then pushed into the Potomac interceptor, forming a new pipe.
It's a high-risk procedure that could cause the pipe to fail.
And right now, it looks like that's exactly what happened.
The latest estimates are that the problem won't be fixed for around six weeks, all because of the incompetence of the D.C. government.
That sounds pretty bad, of course, but it's important to point out that D.C. has been having sewage problems long before this incident.
Last summer, the city canceled two separate community swim days in the Anacostia River due to sewage problems.
Now, officially, the issue was reported as pollution concerns and a high risk of contracting E. coli following a rainstorm.
The translation, of course, is that every time it rains, poop gets in the water in Washington, D.C.
This is an ongoing problem.
According to one local observer, quote, 600 million gallons of sewage and runoff flow into the Potomac every year, largely when heavy storms overwhelm D.C.'s aging sewers.
But the good news is that, as you just heard, according to local officials, the drinking water is definitely 100% still safe.
And you can totally trust the officials in D.C. on that point.
Go take a big, big glass, take some water, take a big swig.
No problem.
You could trust these people.
After all, from the moment these officials took control of the water department, they were laser focused on their mission.
And to prove that point, here's a recent clip from one of those officials, D.C. water manager and CEO David Gaddis.
Listen.
You know, when I arrived at D.C. Water, this was an organization that looked very similar to our industry.
It was predominantly, you know, white male at the top.
But this was a utility that's, you know, more than 70% people of color work at this utility.
And I really believe, and I still believe, and it has been fantastic.
The outcomes have been fantastic.
But the people at the top, the executives, the chiefs in that C-suite, they should look like the employees that they serve and that they work with.
And the same thing with the community.
And so my executive team, you know, looks exactly like the community.
It looks like the employees, the staff, be it people of color, women, men.
And it's just a fantastic team that has come together to do a lot of great things here at DC Water and in the community for the customers.
The outcomes have been fantastic.
Just fantastic.
240 million gallons of sewage.
Fantastic outcome.
Fantastic.
If that's fantastic, I would hate to see what outcome this guy would consider to be subpar.
If 240 million gallons of sewage is a fantastic, great outcome, then what would even he call, you know, suboptimal?
Well, anyway, there you have it.
When you're hiring personnel at DC Water, it's vitally important to have a lot of people who aren't white.
The executives need to look like the employees because when you're drinking water out of the tap or taking a shower, you know, the thing you care about is whether the people who ensured the cleanliness and safety of your water look like you or not.
And if you get E. coli or some other exotic disease or parasite in your intestines from the water, well, you could take solace in the fact that while you're puking your guts out, at least there was a sufficient level of diversity over in the water management department.
David Gaddis never explains why this is so important, but he doesn't really have to.
At this point, it's common knowledge that in many cases, government employment functions like a jobs program for people who are not white.
This is one of those things that sounds offensive to some people, I guess, but it's clearly true, and even Democrats will admit it.
If you've ever had the misfortune of walking into a DMV office, which any adult has, you may have noticed that they typically aren't very diverse, you know, or they're diverse only in the leftist sense of not being diverse at all.
Mostly black women, some black men, not a lot of white people over the DMV.
Neither are transit jobs or most administrative jobs in the government.
And that's no accident.
By and large, non-white people get these jobs and then they hire other non-white people.
And once they get the jobs, they're basically impossible to fire.
This has led to the creation of the so-called black middle class, which is almost entirely a tax-funded function of the government.
And again, Democrats themselves have admitted all this.
To give just one example, USA Today published a headline a year ago that read, quote, federal jobs were seen as a gateway to the middle class for black America.
Then came Doge.
In other words, taxpayer-funded jobs, useless bureaucratic jobs, many of them, allowed black people to make a lot of money.
But if you try to audit those jobs and see if these people are actually earning their salaries, well, then it all falls apart.
One of the reasons this is so unethical, aside from the racial discrimination against whites and Asians, is that it makes society far more unpleasant and much more dangerous.
When incompetent people are running major city departments simply because they're not white, things start to break.
That's what South Africa has been experiencing since they achieved racial equity, and it's what D.C. is experiencing right now.
All of this was predictable.
This is the really incredible part here.
Flint Water Crisis Revisited00:07:34
The guy we just showed you, the water department CEO, David Gaddis, used to be the executive vice president of a company called Veolia North America.
I might be mispronouncing that, but he was the CEO of Veolia Water Indianapolis.
He was the first black CEO of the utility.
And in that capacity, according to a class action lawsuit, Gaddis and his company promised to employ their technical expertise to ensure water quality for the people of the city of Flint, Michigan.
So yes, the guy in charge of DC's water system was also involved in the Flint water crisis.
So how did his stint in Flint turn out?
Well, as the Daily Caller reports, quote, Veolia told the public that Flint's discolored drinking water resulted from an old unlined cast iron pipe, but it actually contained dangerous levels of lead.
Emails later revealed, Veolia officials knew problems extended beyond discoloration and foul odors, noting that lead seems to be a problem.
Gaddis was copied on emails discussing potential lead issues before attending a public meeting where officials repeatedly assured residents the water was safe.
By February 2025, Veolia had contributed $79.3 million to settlements with Michigan and roughly 26,000 individual claimants.
The company maintains it stands behind its good work in Flint.
Gaddis joined DC Water before the settlement was reached.
So to recap, the D.C. Water Department hired an executive whose previous work experience in Flint, Michigan led to a settlement of around $80 million.
Apparently, under his guidance, or at least with his knowledge, the people of Flint were told that it was safe to drink the water and use it to mix baby formula and whatever else.
Even though the residents were saying the water was green and brown, smelled weird, gay people rashes, caused hair loss.
Let's stop here for a second just to zoom out a little bit.
Think about how many times you were told that the Flint water crisis was evidence of systemic white supremacy.
That was Barack Obama's argument.
It was the argument that the entire corporate media went with.
You still hear it today.
Every NGO said the same thing as well.
Just to give one example, George Soros's Foundation wrote that, quote, the environmental crisis brewing in Flint, Michigan offers a powerful example of the problems that lie at the heart of our nation's struggle for environmental, economic, and racial justice.
Flint is the latest manifestation of a problem that some civil rights advocates have long described as environmental racism, a problem that gained new focus in the late 80s, early 90s when a series of studies revealed that study at state and local governments routinely make decisions about pollution that disproportionately harm low-income communities of color.
Well, that's how the entire left has always talked about Flint's water problems.
Somehow completely lost in this explanation was the news that an incompetent black executive was named in a massive class action lawsuit, which later yielded a payout of nearly $100 million because his company signed off on the safety of Flint's water supply.
No one anywhere ever talks about that.
And of course, all the black government officials in Michigan, they got a pass also, including this guy.
That's the former emergency manager for the city of Flint, Darnell Early.
He oversaw the transition of the city of Flint from Detroit water to Flint River water.
Actually, he didn't simply oversee the transition.
He celebrated it.
In April of 2014, he went on camera and drank from the water to demonstrate how safe it was.
Never mind the fact that the water smelled funny or gave you rashes or looked brown.
Darnell Early thought it was good enough to drink on camera.
Is this the environmental racism that George Soros was talking about?
Now, it's also absurd.
So why exactly is the Flint water crisis in the popular telling an example of white supremacy and racial injustice?
It shouldn't be.
If anything, it's an example of what happens when incompetent officials get into positions of authority because of their skin color.
In every single case, they ruin the water supply, among other problems.
It happened in South Africa.
It happened in Flint.
And guess what?
A couple of years ago, it happened in Jackson, Mississippi, also.
Watch.
The situation right now in Jackson, Mississippi is worsening as residents there enter a fourth day without clean water.
I mean, can you believe that?
Four days?
It's stunning.
A boil water advisory is in effect for more than 150,000 people across the city.
Lines we're going to show you can be seen forming around the block at the water distribution centers throughout the area.
Just to let you know how this all happened, severe flooding damaged the city's water treatment facility over the weekend, causing the plant to fail.
But this is not the first time Mississippi's capital has experienced a water crisis.
Many residents say this is a problem that has been grossly ignored.
It's a problem that's decades in the making.
And what I urge everybody to do is not kind of zoom in on easy causes or offensive causes.
Like we see a lot of finger pointing about black leadership who can't run the city.
I mean, it's just, you know, garden variety racism, 1960s style that we see in that sense.
But the bottom line is that as an urban city that's now over 80% black that has happened over time and over white flight and cycles of white flight, this is a systemic, structural, and even institutional racist problem at its core, no matter what happens on top of it and who individually that we can critique.
So did you get that?
Even though the entire city is black and all the leaders are black, and even though this keeps happening in black-run cities, you're not allowed to criticize any of the city's leaders.
You have to understand that it's a system of racism that's caused constant problems for Jackson's water supply for over a decade, even though black people control the system.
But still, it's a white supremacy thing.
And if you don't believe that, then you're a horrible person.
Here's what that woman is trying to run cover for.
This is from the AP.
Quote, the Mississippi State Department of Health did not consistently document deficiencies in the Jackson water system or notify city officials about significant problems after the department conducted sanitary surveys and annual inspections from 2015 through 2021, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's Office of Inspector General said.
The EPA's National Enforcement Investigation Center found that Jackson's system issued more than 750 boil water notices from 2016 through 2020.
Customers are told to boil water because bacteria or other contaminants can enter the system after pipes break or the distribution system fails.
The center also found that Jackson had more than 7,300 breaks in water distribution pipes from 2017 through 21.
The report said those occurred at an average annual rate of 55 breaks per 100 miles of pipe, significantly higher than the industry benchmark of no more than 15 breaks per 100 miles of line per year.
Whenever this happens, and it happens a lot, no one's allowed to criticize the black officials who are responsible.
So those black officials get promotions.
They move around.
That's why David Gaddis is now running the water supply in Washington, D.C. That's why they went out and hired a guy who was involved in the worst water crisis in a modern American history.
And then as soon as he takes over, he doesn't say a word about the water.
Instead, he's only talking about getting rid of all the white people.
Deepwater Horizon 2.000:12:24
And here we are, just a few years later.
We have Deepwater Horizon 2.0, except with human feces.
The water supply in D.C. is currently overrun with fecal matter.
But on the bright side, there's a lot of racial equity going on in the D.C. Water Department.
They're serious about getting rid of white people.
Check this out.
This is from the D.C. Water Department's website.
It says water equity for all.
And then below that, it says that they have 82% BIPOC representation.
And that's a lot of BIPOC representation by any measure.
Certainly, it means that white people in Washington, D.C., which supposedly account for 40% of the population of the city, aren't getting jobs at the water department.
Is that because they aren't applying or is it because they're being discriminated against?
Well, we'll have to look into that.
And hopefully the DOJ will look into it as well.
One of these 82% BIPOC employees is the D.C. water chair, a woman named Dr. Unique N. Morris Hughes.
Yes, that's her name, Dr. Unique.
Because if there's one thing you want from a doctor, it's that they are unique.
Now, Dr. Unique makes more than $230,000 a year.
And yet, Dr. Unique, as you probably guessed, is actually not a doctor, nor is she an engineer or an expert in anything at all.
Her PhD is from something called the University of Maryland Eastern Shore, and it's in philosophy.
By the way, in the U.S. News and World Report ranking of American universities, the University of Maryland Eastern Shore, where she got her PhD, is ranked number 395.
So at least it can boast of being in the top 400.
That's something.
It also has a 90% acceptance rate.
So she got a meaningless philosophy degree from a bottom-tier college because she wrote a meaningless paper that no one has ever read solely so that she can call herself a doctor.
This is otherwise known as the Jill Biden strategy.
And clearly, it's paid off for Dr. Unique.
Now, if you look through her resume, which lists her pronouns as she, her, in case you were curious, you'll find plenty of evidence that she's skilled at spending other people's money.
She hands out grants to nonprofits.
She once served as an acting assistant superintendent for wellness and nutrition at the local Department of Education.
She was a teacher, but she doesn't seem to know anything about water, which is odd since she's the water chair.
You think that'd be a basic qualification, but it's not.
So what does Dr. Unique talk about when she appears in public and does interviews?
You'll never guess.
Watch.
Now, and this is the chain-breaking institutional barrier disruption work that I'm doing.
Now I'm on a mission to make sure black and brown kids have experience in the workplace.
So then when they're competing in the market.
That's one less check.
That's one less check.
And the playing field is leveled because now they got the internship, the same one for the parent who knew the president of the corporation.
Now the playing field is leveled.
Disruption work.
Because that's what you want, right?
When you're looking for someone to help run the water department, make sure water is safe.
You want someone who is, what's the quality you're looking for?
Disruptive.
Right?
Isn't that what you want?
No, actually, that's the opposite of what you want.
Disruption is what they're getting right now, actually, with the water.
There's a lot of disruption going on with the pipes over there in D.C.
Well, it couldn't be any more obvious that the D.C. Water Department, like so many other dysfunctional government agencies, is nothing more than a hiring program for black people.
They don't actually care about making sure that drinking water is safe.
They aren't concerned with removing the poop from the water.
Instead, all they talk about is racial equity.
They have dozens of different programs and directors and sub-programs and sub-directors and spend all their time trying to advance racial equity, by which they mean discriminating against white people and putting unqualified black people in very important jobs.
As Daily Caller reports, under Gaddis, the D.C. Water Department transferred hundreds of millions of dollars towards DEI initiatives.
So we're not talking about one or two race-based hires here.
This is a full-on scam.
Quote, under Gaddis, D.C. Water also pursued fair share objectives to boost participation from disadvantaged, minority, and women-owned business enterprises.
To reinforce those goals, D.C. Water created the Business Diversity and Inclusion Advisory Council and established bidding preferences for disadvantaged and women-owned contractors on projects over a million dollars.
In fiscal year 2024, disadvantaged and women-owned enterprises received 38.65% of total awards, roughly $520 million of nearly $1.33 billion according to January 2025 board minutes.
Meanwhile, according to Washington City Paper, quote, the chair of DC Water Board violated several spending regulations for DC staff events with go-go bands, DJs, and acrobats.
According to the Inspector General, Dr. Unique approved $69,000 in questionable expenses for all staff events that cost hundreds of thousands of dollars, while certificates for Las Vegas hotel accommodations that were donated by a property management company are unaccounted for.
Close quote.
So Dr. Unique strikes again.
It's almost as if none of these people actually care about their jobs or the environment in general.
Instead, they've created a racial spoils system, a system that exists to defraud white people and to enrich non-white people.
And that system is functioning as intended.
Among many other groups, the climate cult has a lot of responsibility for this.
They hijack the environmental movement in this country.
They spent the last few generations obsessing over global warming and then climate change.
They told everyone that humans were making the planet dangerously cold and they said we're making it too hot.
They ignored the fact that long before humans existed, the climate was changing much more than it is today.
They manufactured data in service of a socialist ideology.
And in the process, they completely drowned out the concerns of people who actually care about the environment, which we should care about the environment.
Now, of course, most of the time, genuine environmentalists, if we want to call them that, aren't socialists.
They're conservative.
They want to conserve the environment, conserve nature, including the water and the fish that live there.
They're not interested in making your life worse by charging you more money for paper bags or whatever in order to appease the climate gods.
A fisherman in Maryland went on a podcast the other day called Pop in Politics, where he made a similar point.
Watch.
I got a little excited there.
I make my living as a charter fisherman, okay?
And there are many others like me in the Maryland Light Tackle Gods Association.
We rely.
This year, the fish in the Potomac River was unbelievable.
I'm going to say it was world-class, to quote one of my friends, Jamie Cloud.
World-class rock fishing up there.
The fish were thick.
The water was beautiful.
The subaquatic vegetation was healthy.
And somehow I don't think that's going to be the case moving down the road.
Our infrastructure as a nation is decaying.
It's a hard nut to go ahead and to make that investment to rehab that infrastructure.
We all say we want to do it.
We say we want to replace the bridges.
We say that we know we need to replace the bridges.
But when it comes down to, like you said, Ms. Bennett, finding the money, somehow it always gets reallocated somewhere else down the road for some crap like green energy or these windmills are trying to push down our throat here in Ocean City.
And, you know, and concerning that, we don't want the windmills.
We live here.
We don't want them.
The city doesn't want them.
The county doesn't want them.
The town doesn't want them.
The residents don't want them.
The governor wants them.
He's trying to cram that down our throat any way he can.
And you know what?
If you want a sticker, you want a flag, you want a t-shirt that says stop them windmills, my email address is CL Marshall at Comcast.net.
I will be pleased to send you one.
So he's trashing, rightfully, Maryland's governor, Wes Moore, another history-making black official with a lot of power he shouldn't have.
Wes Moore, by the way, still has not rebuilt the key bridge two years after it was destroyed, but he has plenty of time to complain about ICE and white people.
And the fisherman makes a good point.
Democrats like Wes Moore can find hundreds of millions of dollars for windmills and DEI and solar panels and so on.
But apparently there's no money for infrastructure to make sure the pipes don't burst because if you actually care about the environment, like if you're a real environmentalist, then you should care about these.
This is what you care about, the practical everyday things that affect people's lives.
Is the water clean?
Can you swim in it?
Can you drink it?
Can you go fishing in it?
Like those kinds of things.
The trash all over the, you know, you walk through a city, there's trash all over the place.
Pick up the trash.
Care about the environment.
That's what you should care about.
But, you know, you have these Democrats, they don't care about any of that.
Like the stuff you can actually see that affects you every day, the problems you could actually solve if you were competent enough to do it and you cared enough to do it.
They don't care about that.
So they'll let the water, they'll let get in your water.
They'll let trash be strewn all over the place.
But they care about the, you know, we're not going to worry about that, but let's worry about global temperatures.
Let's worry about precisely the things that we cannot have any impact on at all.
Let's worry about solving the problems we can't solve.
And instead, you know, instead of while we ignore the problems that we could easily solve if we just had if we just cared enough to solve them.
Yeah, we're well past the point where the people who are making these decisions, whatever their skin color may be, should be held accountable for them.
In the case of Washington, D.C., that should mean the end of home rule.
Washington, D.C., like post-apartheid South Africa, Flint, Jackson, is incapable of self-governance.
Through sheer incompetence and anti-white racism, D.C.'s water department has managed to create a metaphor that's almost too on the nose to be real.
Under total Democrat rule, they have officially drowned the nation's capital in human excrement.
Crappy does not begin to describe their performance.
They have wasted hundreds of millions of dollars and allowed an incomprehensible quantity of human excrement to pile up in the water supply.
They've taken a major step towards transforming this country into South Africa.
Compare Washington, D.C. to say, Johannesburg, and that'll become abundantly clear.
Once again, competent white people have been exiled simply because they're white.
And once again, incompetent black people who select one another simply because they're black, simply on the basis of their race, have driven the infrastructure they inherited into the ground.
And for that reason, even if it means being called racist, competent people of whatever race need to step in and prevent this familiar story from playing out once again on a much larger scale.
Now let's get to our five headlines.

Daily Mail reports, a family has accused Canada's laws of killing the disabled and vulnerable months after their son, who suffered from seasonal depression died by assisted suicide.
Keanu Vafayan, a 26-year-old blind man with type 1 diabetes, died in December using Canada's MAID program, which allows patients with grievous and irremediable, irremediable medical conditions to request a lethal drug.
Eligibility was expanded in 2021 to include people with chronic illnesses, disabilities, and pending parliamentary review, potentially individuals with certain mental health conditions.
So this person, this man was not terminally ill.
He had a chronic illness in that he was diabetic and he had seasonal depression.
And they killed him.
They put him down.
Here's an interview with the parents.
This is by Global News.
Watch.
He said everything that doctors needed to hear in order to approve him.
Was he actually feeling that way?
I strongly believe not.
Keanu's family says he sought MAID in Ontario, where he was from, for several years, but was repeatedly denied.
They say he then turned to BC, where he was approved.
He didn't have the items that were necessary to qualify him for MAID.
And quite frankly, the medical system failed him.
Under Canada's MAID law, Track 2 applies to people who are not terminally ill, but who have a serious and incurable condition.
It comes with additional safeguards, including a minimum 90-day assessment period and evaluations by two independent practitioners.
The family says prominent MAID advocate Dr. Ellen Weeb signed their son's death certificate and alleges the safeguards were not fully followed.
We strongly believe that she was coaching him in order for her to check up her own boxes to approve him.
In a statement to Global News, Dr. Weeb says each patient she has provided MAID to had a grievous and irremediable medical, not psychiatric condition, adding each of them was capable of consent and that all track two assessments took at least 90 days.
You see that evil wench.
I mean, just look at her.
That's the face of somebody who kills people for a living.
That's what she does.
That's her job.
Why do you take a job like that?
Why do you take a job where the whole job description is that you're going to kill people every day?
Well, you do it because you like to kill.
You enjoy it.
This woman is a serial killer.
That's what she is.
Just like every abortionist is a serial killer.
And they get into this line of work because they want to kill people.
And you notice how she justifies it.
She says that this guy who was not terminally ill at all, nobody even claims that he was.
She says that he had a grievous and irremediable medical condition.
That's the standard now in Canada, like we just read.
It used to be that your illness had to be terminal.
Now it has to be grievous and irremediable.
Well, what qualifies?
What qualifies as grievous?
Terminal has a clear, basically objective definition, terminal illness.
It's going to kill you.
You're going to die from that illness.
That's what terminal obviously means.
But grievous?
Grievous?
Well, any illness could be considered grievous.
And that's the point.
That's obviously the point.
You could call, and they're moving on now to, as it said in the article, we're going to start giving euthanasia to people with mental health conditions.
Well, what qualifies as a grievous mental health condition?
Any, any.
If the person with the condition says that they feel really bad all the time, that's grievous.
So this is what they're doing now in Canada.
Okay.
They are euthanizing.
They're putting down human beings, lots of them.
And not just terminally ill humans.
They're putting down, and that's bad enough.
They're putting down people who are depressed, who have physical illnesses that are not terminal, not even debilitating.
Notice how debilitating is not the standard because even debilitating, and that would also be bad as a standard for euthanasia, but at least debilitating has somewhat of an objective definition.
But no, grievous and irremediable, that is the standard because that can be anything.
It is totally subjective.
It has no clear definition at all.
There are no lines that are drawn there, clearly.
And they're doing this so often that like 5%, okay, listen to this.
5% of the deaths in Canada now are euthanasia, nationwide.
5%.
Do you understand what an insane number that is?
5%.
They're killing 16 or 17,000 people every year through euthanasia.
Just putting them down.
Depressed people, people with diabetes, homeless people, full-blown eugenics.
You think about the situation now in Canada.
They're putting down people like dogs, like stray dogs.
In fact, it's worse than that.
It's a lot worse than that because the standard for euthanizing a dog is actually stricter than it is for euthanizing a person, at least in Canada.
Because if you bring your golden retriever to the vet and say, I got to put down Fido here, the vet's going to ask you why.
And if you say, well, it's because Fido's depressed, Fido has seasonal depression, they're not going to do it.
Not only will they not do it, but they're going to take your dog away from you.
And rightfully so.
But they'll put down a person for that reason.
So that the standard, the standard for euthanizing a person, it's a lower standard than it is for euthanizing a dog in Canada.
And that is why euthanasia in Canada is now a, it's a leading cause of death.
It's a top five cause of death in the entire country.
Think about that.
One of the leading causes of death in the country of Canada is euthanasia.
And that's just the that's on the list of atrocities.
They're chemically castrating and sterilizing children.
They're making up these absurd lies as a pretext for burning down churches.
There have been 30, I think, over 30, 33 churches have been burned to the ground in the country since 2020 or 2021, all on the basis of this mass graves claim, which is a total hoax, not true.
It's been debunked.
And in over 20 of those cases, the vast majority, no one has been arrested.
They're letting it happen.
On top of that, in Canada, they're executing infants.
They're committing infanticide of fully developed infants in the womb.
Okay, in Canada, it's abortion is legal through every stage of pregnancy up to the moment of birth, and it's tax-funded.
So they are committing tax-funded infanticide.
So you look at all that, putting down people, euthanasia, full-blown, full-on eugenics is what they're doing.
Thousands of people every single year, burning down churches, sterilizing kids, infanticide.
You look at that, and I think you conclude, you can conclude, and I'm not trying to be funny or ironic when I say this.
I said this on X yesterday, and a lot of, well, some Canadians are very upset at me.
Others are in agreement.
But I think it's clear that you could make a better argument for invading Canada and toppling its regime and liberating its people than you could for invading any other country on the planet right now.
To include Iran, by the way.
You can make a better, whatever argument, whatever argument you would make for invading any other country, whether it's Iran or any other, if that argument is persuasive to you, well, then you should also be in favor of invading Canada.
Canada is right next door to us.
It's not a Middle East country 10,000 miles away.
It's right there.
And based on what I just laid out and a dozen other things besides that, it's clearly one of the most evil regimes on the planet.
How is it not?
Again, this is not joking.
Okay, this is not one of those cases where I'm exaggerating for a fact.
I'm being hyperbolic.
Can anyone refute this?
Explain to me how Canada is not one of the most evil regimes on the planet.
How is it better than Iran?
Just take the MAID program.
Thousands, they are killing systematically thousands of people, many of whom are not even terminally ill.
Church burnings, anti-Christian persecution, infanticide, tax-funded.
How is this not one of the most evil regimes on earth?
And it's right next door to us.
I'm not even saying that we should invade necessarily.
I'm saying that there is a better argument for invading Canada than there is for invading anyone else.
There just is.
And by the way, there are plenty of really good Canadian people.
I have a lot of Canadians in the audience.
And the thing about Canadians is that when they're good and kind people, which many of them are, they're really good and kind people.
You know, I give Canadians a hard time, but I actually have affection for them as a people.
But the regime that has ruled Canada for a long time now is pure unmitigated evil.
There's no other word you could use to describe it.
It's evil in a way that would shock even the most cynical, dystopian fiction writers of the 20th century would be shocked by what they're doing in Canada.
Right across our border, right in our backyard.
And so I'll say this, I would sooner support, and I'm not advocating it, I would sooner support an invasion to liberate Canada than I would to liberate anyone else.
Because anything else you point to, any other country, say, oh, well, they're committing atrocities.
Yeah, well, what's happening over here?
I'd say that's an atrocity.
Oh, well, they're oppressing.
They're taking people's freedoms away.
Yeah, right here.
I mean, give me something.
Whatever your justification is for invading any other country.
Find me a justification that would not apply to Canada.
So I don't know.
Maybe that's a serious conversation we need to have.

Well, CNN is getting ready to air a special, an investigation, an expose about the rise of Christian nationalism and the dreaded Christian nationalism, nationalism that we hear so much about.
But what is Christian nationalism?
Well, they aired a little preview of this special they're going to run.
I think it's a multi-part special.
And they offered a definition of Christian nationalism that, surprisingly, I actually don't take an issue with.
I agree with their definition.
Watch.
For the past several months, I've been working on a special project examining the growing influence of Christian nationalism in America.
If you're not familiar, Christian nationalism is an ideology rooted in the belief that our country was founded as a Christian nation and that our laws and institutions should reflect Christian values.
In the lead up to my hour-long documentary this weekend, we're going to bring you a preview of what you'll see.
Starting off with the assassination of Charlie Kirk last year, experts say it was a pivotal moment for the movement and an occasion where the tragedy of his loss unified Christian nationalists and the Trump administration as they honored him.
September 21st, 2025.
America is a nation in grief, a nation in shock, and a nation in mourning.
All right, we can cut out of it.
You know, the really funny thing here is that if I didn't know any better, if I didn't know anything about CNN and I watched that clip, I would assume that this was a puff piece meant to promote Christian nationalism.
Everything in the video, every part of it, is a promotion of Christian nationalism.
It's not meant to be, obviously, but if you didn't know any better, you would that's what you would think.
Let's start with their definition.
They say Christian nationalism is the idea that this country was founded as a Christian nation and our laws and institutions should reflect Christian values.
Oh, okay.
So what you're saying is basically every normal American Christian is a Christian nationalist is what you're telling me.
So in other words, Christian nationalism is an American Christian.
A Christian nationalist is an American Christian who has an entirely correct view of American history.
A Christian nationalist is a Christian in America who is right, who is correct.
Agreed.
I agree.
Now, these people are so stupid and incompetent and so clueless about their opposition that they can't even come up with a definition of Christian nationalism that actually sounds sinister to a normal person.
That's what they were trying to do.
They thought that if they said that a Christian nationalist is someone who believes America was founded on Christian values, they thought normal people would recoil and say, oh, no, dear God, not that.
These people are extremists.
We should kill them.
That's what they were going for.
Instead, they came up with a definition that will make an ordinary person say, oh, well, yeah, then I'm a Christian nationalist.
Oh, oh, that's what Christian nationalism is?
Oh, I thought it was something bad.
Oh, okay.
Well, yeah.
Well, then I am one.
And by the way, their definition is actually correct.
By accident, it's correct.
That's what Christian nationalism is.
That's why I happily would embrace the label for myself, proudly so.
I'm a Christian.
I'm a nationalist.
Christian nationalist.
Sure.
And this is incontrovertible, by the way.
America was founded as a Christian nation, and it should therefore remain a Christian nation.
It's not even, it should.
There is no non-Christian America.
To make America into a non-Christian nation is to make America not exist anymore.
And I think with this conversation, this is probably the perfect example of the bell curve meme where you've got the one guy on the low end of the spectrum, the dummy who says something, and then you've got the genius on the other end saying something, and they both agree.
And you have the midwit in the middle who disagrees, right?
And I think this is the perfect example of that.
Because, you know, you've got like your, you're kind of like your simpleton saying, oh, America was founded as a Christian country.
And then you have your high IQ smart person saying America was founded as a Christian country.
Then you have your midwit dork in the middle saying, no, America wasn't a Christian country.
The founding fathers were deists.
Ben Franklin said this thing about this and he was more secular.
So that's your midwit.
And then you've got your simple-minded folks and your smart people who both agree.
Because that's kind of the way it goes, that if you've done, here's the way it works with the question of whether America was founded on Christian principles, which is not, again, not really a question.
It's just a fact.
But if you've done basically no research, if you've done basically no reading into American history, then you'll have the general impression that America was founded as a Christian country, which it was.
But if you do just a little bit of reading, especially reading guided by the liberal education system, then you'll pick up tidbits here and there, right?
You'll get the little morsels that are put in front of you.
And they'll show you that, yeah, some of the founding fathers were deists.
You'll see, you know, Jefferson's letter to the Danbury Baptist talking about the separation of church and state.
And you'll see random statements from George Ben Franklin criticizing organized religion.
You'll see quotes like whatever it was, lighthouses are more useful than churches, which is actually apocryphal.
I think Ben Franklin didn't really say that.
But that's what you, when you get into that, into that, to the midwit section of the spectrum, you pick up on those little things.
But then when you dig, so when you're digging only slightly below the surface and your digging is being guided by a public school teacher or a university professor, this is what you pick up.
And that's where basically everybody in the media lives.
They're all in the Midwit dork section of the spectrum.
They're all a bunch of midwits and they've done a little bit of reading.
They've read things here and there.
And they technically know a little bit more about American history than some of the simpletons.
But they've learned only enough to make them wrong.
They've learned only enough to wedge them out of what is just the most obvious and basic thing that even the simplest minded person knows.
They've learned enough to wedge them out of that and leave them in this place where they're just totally wrong.
Because if you're smarter, though, and you're more curious and you're a more critical thinker and you read deeply into not just American history, but history in general, and you develop a deeper understanding, you end up right back with the obvious conclusion that any simple-minded person would know, which is that, yeah, obviously America was founded as a Christian nation.
Not only was America founded as a Christian nation, but that's the only reason why the Americas were discovered in the first place.
The whole thing that propelled the discovery and settlement of this whole entire half of the world was Christianity and a desire to spread the gospel across the globe and establish a Christian civilization.
For Europeans, Westerners at the time, Christianity was the air they breathed.
It was the fuel that propelled everything.
It's the only reason this country exists.
So obviously, like, of course, of course it was founded on Christian principles.
What else would it be founded on?
Now, some of the individual founding fathers, a few of them, may have been deists or whatever.
That's the thing, again, if you're the midwit, those are the little bits you pick up on and you're so excited.
Oh, Thomas Jefferson was a deist.
So?
So?
It has nothing to do with anything.
That doesn't prove anything.
Because the reality is that Christianity was deeply embedded in every aspect of the foundation of this country.
It is dripping off of everything.
It is all over everything.
Not even on everything.
It's in everything.
It's in every founding document.
Every founding document is not just like kind of Christian, but aggressively, aggressively.
Almost every speech or public address that any founding father ever gave about anything is just Christian down to its core in everything, everywhere.
That's the reason.
It's the reason it's on our money.
It's the reason it's it.
It's the reason it's in everything.
I mean, the idea of having a totally non-religious, completely secular in the way we think of it now country, that wouldn't have even occurred to anyone back in the 1700s or 1800s.
possibility wouldn't even have occurred to them.
And that's what, if you just keep digging a little bit further, you come back to that, what was always the obvious conclusion, the place you start from, which is that, yeah.
of course, this is a Christian country and always has been.
Starting something new can be daunting.
When we launched the Matt Walsh show, we had all the usual fears, but we're glad we went for it.

Finally, Neil deGrossi Tyson appeared on Bill Maher's podcast where he weighed in on the trans issue very boldly and bravely in the year 2026, weighing in, going where boldly going where everybody has already gone before him.
And here he is.
Neil Tyson Debunks Flat Earthers00:08:56
You got a thing with Martina Navratilova.
What do you mean I have a beef?
Yo, she has beef with you.
Why did you have a beef with me?
Because you think like guys should get in the women's swimming pool, basically.
No, no, I, oh, no, I, well, whatever got clipped and reposted, I don't know.
But what I said was that the In this emergent space where you have people expressing themselves on a gender spectrum and you want to now compete in sports, that's still a frontier to be solved.
And I don't have the answer, but I can suggest one, whether or not it'll work.
Maybe we don't compete by gender anymore.
We compete on hormone ratios.
Okay.
There was a woman who had uncommonly high testosterone levels.
And they wanted to disqualify her because of how manly she was when she was born a woman and competing as a woman.
So if we're, that's how we're going to do it.
You know, this, again, this is.
But what you really want.
Wait, Bill, no, I've thought this through more than you might think I have.
So what you really want is an interesting contest between people who are similarly talented.
The least interesting Super Bowl you could ever watch is a blowout by halftime.
See, what we agree on is that there are anomalies in human nature whereas the vast majority of people, I'm sorry, are still male or female.
Well, actually, Bill, actually, Bill, every human is male or female, not the vast majority.
It's like saying, you know, I'm sorry, but the vast majority of elephants are mammals.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
Someone's got to say it.
The vast majority of elephants are mammals.
Well, technically, that's true, I guess, but it implies an untruth because it implies that a minority of elephants are not mammals or a minority of humans are not male or female.
But that's not the case.
Every human is either male or female.
Every elephant is a mammal.
Not the majority.
Every.
Now, some humans, a very small number, a very, very, very small number, have genetic defects, genital defects that make their outward appearance seem to be more ambiguous.
But even those people are actually still male or female.
It's just, it's just unlike everybody else.
You can't tell right away, maybe.
But even with those people, that is just a defect of their outward appearance.
It's a defect of their reproductive organs or whatever.
But they are still male or female.
Now, as for Neil DeGrosky Tyson, I have to say, I have even less respect for this guy and the position he represents than I do for the full-on radical, crazy, you know, trans activists.
A lot less, in fact.
Because it's one thing to take the insane position and just take it, you know, just take it unapologetically, proudly, and say, yeah, men can have babies, right?
That's one thing.
Because then at least you have the excuse maybe that, well, maybe you're crazy or maybe you're very, very stupid.
But it's another thing to demonstrate that you're not totally insane by declining to fully take the insane position, but then still refuse to take the obviously sane common sense position.
That's even worse because that can only be fueled by pure cowardice.
Either you're an enormous coward or you're such a pudding-brained, impressionable, gullible non-entity of a person that you feel like you have to be open-minded to all ideas, no matter how psychotic they might be.
And I've said this before about flat earthers.
You have actual flat earthers out there.
And I think the number of people in that camp is probably higher than we imagine.
I think it's probably a terrifying number.
I think if we actually, maybe someone's, I'm sure there's been polls on this, but that's just the impression.
Maybe I'm wrong.
I hope I'm wrong.
I think if we could know the real percentage of people in America right now who believe the earth is flat, I think we'd be terrified by the number.
I think it's higher than we imagine.
Could be wrong.
But then that I can sort of understand in that, well, I can conceptualize that.
I can understand that, okay, well, these are, you're crazy.
You're crazy or you're very, very stupid.
And so you've come to this really crazy, stupid position.
So I get that.
Like, I get that there are crazy people out there.
There are stupid people out there.
But then you have people who will go and I've, and I've talked to people like this.
We all have.
You have people who go with the flat earth thing.
They'll go, well, you know, I'm not saying the earth is flat, but they do make some interesting arguments.
I'm not saying the earth is flat, but I mean, I'm open.
I'm open to all the arguments.
That position to me is the least comprehensible.
That's the position where it's like, okay, well, so you're not totally crazy, but you're what?
You're open to the possibility of this completely bat, insane idea.
There's no basis for it at all.
Everything we know about the world contradicts this thing, and yet you're like open to it?
I don't know.
That to me, it's like you get, it's like I pass by a homeless guy on the street and he's ranting about how he's whatever, how he's really a unicorn.
And it's like, okay, yeah, he's crazy.
I get that.
I get he's crazy.
But then imagine someone else walking by who's not crazy and saying, well, you know, let's hear him out.
Let's hear him out.
Maybe he is.
I don't know.
I can't judge.
I'm open-minded.
I'm open-minded.
Let's have an argument.
Let's have a debate about it.
Are you scared to have a debate?
Let's have a debate.
Maybe he's really a unicorn.
Let's do it on your podcast.
Are you scared?
Well, if you're not going to debate it, then clearly you have no room to talk.
So it's kind of like that.
Anyway, that's what guys like Neil deGrossi Tyson, and there's a lot of that.
There's a lot of that going around these days.
People acting like they have to be open to the most insane ideas, the dumbest bull you can ever hear.
We have to be open to it.
It's like, no, there's a lot that you could just not be open to because it's insane.
That's why.
Why aren't you open to it?
Because it's crazy.
It's just crazy.
That's why.
I'm not going to debate it.
It's just a crazy thing.
And that's what Neil deGrossi Tyson is doing with the trans thing.
And he's still doing it.
Even now in the year 2026, he's still doing the whole, oh, it's complicated.
Oh, it's so complicated.
I don't know exactly what the right answer is.
And he comes up with the dumbest compromise imaginable.
Dumb, especially because, by the way, hormonal differences are not the only advantages that men enjoy in sports.
But more importantly, it's not even about the advantages.
Okay.
It's not about the advantages.
This is one, maybe one tactical mistake that the team sanity has made when it comes to this topic, although we've basically won anyway, but focusing so much on the advantages, it's like it's not even, it doesn't, that's not even the point.
That's a down, that's a symptom of the problem here.
But it doesn't matter.
If you showed me a man and you could prove to me that, oh, well, he's, he's only, he's no more athletic than you put him on a woman's team and he'd be the least athletic one there.
Well, then it's okay.
Well, no, it's still not okay because he's not a woman.
That's the whole point.
I don't care.
You take a boy and put him on the girls cross-country team, even if he loses, even if he comes in dead last out of 50 people.
It's still wrong.
How is it still wrong?
Well, because he's not a girl.
That's why it's wrong.
That's it.
That's the whole thing right there.
And that's the point that, of course, someone like Neil deGrossi Tyson, our science, our science expert, can't engage with.
So just him embarrassing himself as always.
Why He's Not a Girl00:01:10
And we will leave it there for today and this week.
Have a great week.
I'll talk to you on Monday.
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, Blanket Smith, Red Scare.
It's all baseless.
It's time for a lesson on what they're not teaching in public schools on the real history of slavery, of colonialism, of the Indians, of America, and the world.
