The Matt Walsh Show - Ep. 1770 - Ilhan Omar Hits Rock Bottom With Her Dumbest Remarks Yet. Trump DELIVERS His BEST Speech Ever. Aired: 2026-04-29 Duration: 41:37 === Puretalk and the Colonists (15:41) === [00:00:00] One of the universal experiences of parenthood is that sooner rather than later, your child will say something that's simultaneously very dumb, but also endearing because it reflects a view of the world that is very innocent, a view that no adult could possibly have. [00:00:15] A child might assume that his teacher lives at school, for example. [00:00:19] Then he'll express utter shock and horror when he sees one of his teachers at the grocery store. [00:00:24] Maybe he'll wonder why the moon is following him around at night or why people don't just use ATMs to withdraw unlimited money. [00:00:32] Unless you're a chronic marijuana user, these are not the kind of thoughts you typically have as an adult. [00:00:37] It's a simplistic, off kilter way of thinking, but you give it a pass and find it charming when it's coming from your five year old. [00:00:47] When you're scrolling through videos on your phone, though, and you hear something like this from a sitting member of Congress, on the other hand, all of the charm is lost. [00:00:58] You see, in order to be a member of Congress, you have to be 25 years old at a minimum. [00:01:03] So, your frontal cortex has to be relatively well developed, at least in theory. [00:01:08] We have this restriction, as minimal as it is, because we don't want legislators introducing bills that guarantee, you know, I don't know, mandatory birthday parties every month. [00:01:18] And we also don't want members of Congress to stand in front of a podium and deliver moments like this one live on national television. [00:01:25] Watch. [00:01:27] The last time the Alien Enemies Act was invoked, it was used to detain and deport. [00:01:33] German, Japanese, Italian immigrants doing World War 11. [00:01:40] Two, sorry. [00:01:42] The phrase jaw dropping is overused these days, but there's really no better way to describe that footage. [00:01:48] She tells us, without hesitating at all, that this particular law has not been invoked since World War 11. [00:01:57] Yes, World War 11. [00:01:59] Whoever wrote this script for Elon Homar, needless to say, badly overestimated her intelligence in at least two different ways. [00:02:06] First of all, Of course, she read the Roman numeral 2 as 11, which means that she somehow has no familiarity with the concept of a Roman numeral. [00:02:15] We can't deduce that she's never opened a history book at any point in her life, or watched a movie sequel, or read an outline, or paid any attention to the Super Bowl, or seen one of those old fashioned clock faces, or met anyone who's named after his father, or anything like that. [00:02:33] But even if for some reason you're inclined to give Ilhan Omar a pass for not understanding Roman numerals, There's an even bigger problem here, which is that she thinks it's plausible that there were 11 different world wars. [00:02:45] It's one of those moments, no matter how much you want to give somebody the benefit of the doubt, it's simply impossible to defend. [00:02:52] The words World War 11 should not come out of your mouth under any circumstances. [00:02:57] Instinctively, you should know something's wrong at that point and hit the brakes before you say anything. [00:03:05] Now, people are giving her credit for catching her mistake a couple seconds later, but this is one of those errors that just should not happen to begin with. [00:03:13] The brain needs to intercept that particular thought immediately and neutralize it before anyone knows you had it. [00:03:22] Now, I'm the first to admit that someone who speaks publicly all the time might commit a flub here or there, a gaffe, might mispronounce a name on occasion, or in my case, mispronounce basically every name every time. [00:03:36] These things are understandable, but the term World War 11 is so jarring, so wrong, so divorced from reality. [00:03:45] That it simply should not leave your lips. [00:03:47] And if it does, then that's evidence of much deeper intellectual deficiencies. [00:03:52] So, in this case, we can assume one of two things. [00:03:54] The first possibility, which admittedly is very remote, is that maybe Ilhan Omar might have an extremely low IQ and she spent a non zero amount of time after watching The Godfather Part II, wondering where the other 10 Godfather movies are. [00:04:11] She knows she can't find them on Netflix, but she's pretty sure they're out there somewhere. [00:04:14] She's been searching. [00:04:16] Maybe she's done the same thing with Back to the Future Part II and Star Wars Episode II and Rocky II. [00:04:22] That'd be the worst case scenario by far, at least for Ilhan Omar. [00:04:26] The other possibility is that she's right and everyone else is wrong. [00:04:28] Maybe there really have been 11 world wars and we've just been undercounting this whole time. [00:04:34] And if that's the case, then effective immediately, I'm calling for one more world war. [00:04:38] I mean, I'm skeptical of foreign intervention, as everyone knows. [00:04:43] And yes, there'd be a lot of casualties in World War 12, but if there's already been 11 of them, then I think we might as well do one more, make it an even dozen. [00:04:50] 11 is a weird number to end on. [00:04:53] We're so close to a nice round number, and it's about time our leaders did something for the benefit of the OCD community. [00:04:59] Now, all things considered, though, Occam's razor probably wins here, and that's a sobering realization. [00:05:06] As I said on X, our founding fathers never even considered the possibility that illiterate, moronic, third world women would one day be shipped into this country, first of all, and then elected to Congress. [00:05:23] We are discovering a method of national suicide that never entered the minds of the founders, or at least to the extent that it did enter their minds or some version of it. [00:05:31] They warned us repeatedly not to succumb to it. [00:05:35] And they didn't mince words. [00:05:37] More on that in a second. [00:05:38] But first, it's important to understand or to underscore the extent of the contrast between what Ilhan Omar represents on the one hand and the America First leadership that currently sits in the White House on the other. [00:05:52] What Ilhan Omar represents, although she's too dumb to realize it, is the notion that America is a propositional nation, which is to say, a nation that's nothing more than a set of ideas. [00:06:03] And in particular, she represents the fiction that America is open to everybody, that diversity is our strength, and that everybody who sets foot inside our borders is just as American as anybody else. [00:06:15] Or maybe they don't even need to be in our borders because if they subscribe to the vague idea of America, whatever that is, then they can be American. [00:06:23] Why do they even need to be here? [00:06:26] That's what she represents. [00:06:28] Paying $70 plus a month to Big Wireless for unlimited data is totally insane, especially when my wireless company, PureTalk, will give you unlimited. [00:06:37] High speed data for just $34.99 a month. [00:06:40] Unlimited high speed data at PureTalk used to start at $55 a month, but because PureTalk is constantly pushing to give you more for less, you can now get unlimited high speed data for just $34.99 a month. [00:06:53] So if you've looked at PureTalk before and didn't make the move for whatever reason, check again. [00:06:59] And if you're wondering, is PureTalk's network really as good as the overpriced big guys? [00:07:03] Try it out for 30 days with no contract, no cancellation fees. [00:07:07] You can see for yourself. [00:07:08] And you have nothing to lose. [00:07:10] You can make the switch in as little as 10 minutes. [00:07:12] And if you've ever, if you ever need help, their US based customer service team is standing by. [00:07:17] Go to puretalk.comslash Walsh to claim unlimited high speed data for just $34.99. [00:07:22] Again, it's puretalk.comslash Walsh to switch to my wireless company and America's wireless company, PureTalk. [00:07:30] Now, yesterday, Donald Trump hosted King Charles III at the White House, or as Ilhan Omar calls him, King Charles 111. [00:07:38] And Trump delivered one of the best speeches of his political career without question. [00:07:41] It was a great speech. [00:07:44] It was not just a rejection of Democrat Party orthodoxy or the suggestion that America is a propositional nation. [00:07:52] We're not defined by any Supreme Court decision or even solely by the Constitution. [00:07:59] Instead, Trump made it clear that America is defined by shared culture, religion, language, territory, ancestry, and yes, ethnicity. [00:08:10] One cannot simply identify as an American. [00:08:13] As a country, we are successful because of our Anglo Saxon heritage. [00:08:18] Watch. [00:08:19] Here in the shadows of monuments to George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, honoring the British King might seem an ironic beginning to our celebration of 250 years of American independence, but in fact, no tribute could be more appropriate. [00:08:39] Long before Americans had a nation or a constitution, we first had a culture, a character, and a creed. [00:08:48] Before we ever proclaimed our independence, Americans carried within us the rarest of gifts moral courage, and it came from a small but mighty kingdom. [00:09:00] From across the sea. [00:09:02] For nearly two centuries before the revolution, this land was settled and forged by men, women, who bore in their souls the blood and noble spirit of the British. [00:09:13] Here on a wild and untamed continent, they set loose the ancient English love of liberty and the great Britain's distinctive sense of glory, destiny, and pride. [00:09:25] And that's what it is glory, destiny, and pride. [00:09:30] The American patriots who pledged their lives to independence in 1776 were the heirs to this majestic inheritance. [00:09:40] Their veins ran with Anglo Saxon courage. [00:09:44] Their hearts beat with an English faith in standing firm for what is right, good, and true. [00:09:53] The American patriots who pledged their lives to independence in 1776 were the heirs to this majestic inheritance. [00:09:58] Their veins ran with Anglo Saxon courage. [00:10:03] Every single time they say Trump is equivalent to Hitler, and every single time they call MAGA supporters Nazis, they're trying to deprogram you so that you don't think along these lines. [00:10:13] They're trying to imply that if you think heritage matters, then you must be a horrible person. [00:10:19] But the truth is, there's nothing hateful or genocidal or authoritarian about believing something that happens to be true. [00:10:26] And it's true, demonstrably so, that your heritage matters, your genetics matter, your culture matters. [00:10:31] You know, the reason Somalia looks the way it does, and we all know it, has nothing to do with systemic racism or oppression or colonialism. [00:10:42] There are plenty of other formerly colonized countries, from South Korea to Botswana, that aren't anywhere near as dysfunctional. [00:10:49] Now, for decades in Somalia, they've been fighting among themselves. [00:10:53] Believe it or not, they just passed a law making sexual assault a crime a few years ago. [00:10:59] That's when they got around to it, that's when it occurred to them that that should be a crime. [00:11:04] That's the kind of thing that happens when you don't have any common law tradition or, you know, a basic sense of morality. [00:11:10] At the state dinner last night, Trump hammered the same point. [00:11:14] Watch. [00:11:15] From English towns and Scottish hills, from Welsh mountains and Irish villages, a people unique in history sailed across the mighty Atlantic to settle and civilize this continent in the name of God, king and country. [00:11:33] So beautiful. [00:11:34] They called it New England and meant that very, very literally. [00:11:40] The first Americans saw themselves as free men carrying the forward and central liberties and ancient rights of the Anglo Saxons into this new and beautiful world. [00:11:54] In the eyes of America's founders, our war of independence was fought not to reject this heritage, but to reclaim it and perfect it. [00:12:05] As the founding father George Mason wrote, we claim nothing but the liberty and privileges of Englishmen. [00:12:13] In the same degree as we had still continued among our brethren when we were in Great Britain. [00:12:19] Now, he's making the point that, contrary to what many historians want you to think, the American Revolution wasn't actually a seismic split from Europe. [00:12:28] It wasn't a complete reset. [00:12:30] It wasn't a new order of the ages, at least not initially. [00:12:33] Really, it was a continuation of a common tradition and heritage in many ways, and that's why we were successful. [00:12:41] Does anyone seriously doubt that if Somalians had somehow descended from the British and Germanic tribes, Somalia would be? [00:12:47] In a much better place today? [00:12:49] Well, unfortunately, the answer is yes. [00:12:50] People do doubt that. [00:12:52] The reason we're in so much trouble right now is that indeed millions of people genuinely believe that Somalia would look exactly the same if it had been a product of Anglo Saxon tradition. [00:13:05] One such true believer, we can surmise, is King Charles himself. [00:13:09] So watch what he told Congress yesterday afternoon. [00:13:12] The founding fathers were bold and imaginative rebels with a cause. [00:13:18] Two hundred and fifty years ago, or as we say in the United Kingdom, just the other day. [00:13:39] They declared independence. [00:13:42] By balancing contending forces and drawing strength into diversity, they united 13 disparate colonies to forge a nation on the revolutionary idea of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. [00:13:59] They carried with them and carried forward the great inheritance of the British Enlightenment, as well as the ideals which had an even deeper history in English common law. [00:14:12] And Magna Carta. [00:14:14] Now, somehow, all the Democrats who had a problem with kings, to the point that they literally attended rallies where they called for no kings, were applauding throughout this speech. [00:14:25] It really makes you wonder. [00:14:27] But the important part of that clip was They declared independence by balancing contending forces and in drawing strength in diversity, they united 13 disparate colonies to forge a nation on the revolutionary idea of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. [00:14:46] Now, ironically, during the Revolutionary War, the British Army hired between 20,000 and 100,000 Africans and African Americans. [00:14:56] They really did put their money where their mouth was in terms of the whole diversity is our strength argument, and it didn't work out for them, to put it mildly. [00:15:03] But the king doesn't want you to ponder any of that. [00:15:05] He just repeats the mantra from the modern day HR department, which is that diversity is our strength, and that American colonists believed the same mantra as that. [00:15:15] And we briefly talked about this kind of thinking when we dismantled Ken Burns' documentary on the American Revolution a few months ago. [00:15:22] No, the founders did not draw on strength and diversity as leftists love to use the word today. [00:15:28] The colonists were overwhelmingly white and British. [00:15:32] Some were Dutch or German. [00:15:34] That's an indisputable fact. [00:15:36] The colonists spoke the same language, they shared similar ancestry. === America as Its Own Ethnos (12:26) === [00:15:41] What King Charles is implying is that the diversity of the colonists was comparable in some way. [00:15:48] To the diversity that the left talks about today, but it wasn't remotely comparable. [00:15:53] Especially because when the left says diversity, they mean most of the time not white, is what they're talking about, which is why they might refer to a diverse person. [00:16:01] How could one person be diverse all on their own? [00:16:03] Well, because they're not white. [00:16:07] Now, the diversity of 2026 means that we get Somali daycare centers in Minneapolis where they can't even spell the word learning on the sign. [00:16:15] It means we get hordes of Hispanic gang members in Los Angeles waving the Mexican flag as they Set fire to police cars and Waymos and small businesses the moment the federal government attempts to enforce immigration law. [00:16:26] It means the descendants of Kenyans who score in the 50th percentile in the SAT can walk into Harvard no questions asked. [00:16:33] That's the diversity we're told to celebrate today. [00:16:36] And it's a sick joke to compare this practice in any way to the unification of the 13 colonies to create the United States of America. [00:16:46] The colonies were created by men with a shared heritage. [00:16:50] Modern proponents of diversity explicitly want to destroy that heritage. [00:16:55] And that's why when he announced that he was running for president seven years ago, Joe Biden read a script in which he declared that America is an idea. [00:17:06] This is the same video where he repeated the Charlottesville very fine people hoax. [00:17:11] Watch. [00:17:12] Our standing in the world, our very democracy, everything that has made America, America is at stake. [00:17:20] That's why today I'm announcing my candidacy for president of the United States. [00:17:26] Folks, America's an idea. [00:17:27] An idea that's stronger than any army, bigger than any ocean, more powerful than any dictator or tyrant. [00:17:34] It gives hope to the most desperate people on earth. [00:17:37] It guarantees that everyone is treated with dignity and gives hate no safe harbor. [00:17:43] It instills in every person in this country the belief that no matter where you start in life, there's nothing you can achieve if you work at it. [00:17:53] That's what we believe. [00:17:55] America guarantees that everyone is treated with dignity. [00:17:58] America gives hope to the most desperate people on earth. [00:18:04] He's not simply repeating vapid slogans here, although he's certainly doing that. [00:18:08] Really, Joe Biden and his handlers, what they're doing is that they're trying to do the exact same thing they did with gender. [00:18:15] They want to destroy the entire concept by making it completely subjective. [00:18:20] Now, there's no limiting principle here. [00:18:21] Joe Biden's definition of America is meaningless. [00:18:25] We have no identity, we have no objective characteristics at all. [00:18:30] We're simply a concept. [00:18:33] The concept that foreigners should never, under any circumstances, have to think bad thoughts or feel bad feelings. [00:18:40] Now, at the White House with King Charles watching, Donald Trump went out of his way to reject this orthodoxy. [00:18:45] He called it out by name. [00:18:47] Watch. [00:18:48] In recent years, we've often heard it said that America is merely an idea. [00:18:55] But the cause of freedom did not simply appear as an intellectual invention of 1776. [00:19:04] The American founding was the culmination of hundreds of years of thought, struggle, sweat, blood, and sacrifice on both sides. [00:19:14] Of the Atlantic. [00:19:16] Fate drew a long arc from the meadow at Runnymede to the streets of Philadelphia that ran through the lives of people born and bred on the British code that no man should be denied either justice or right. [00:19:33] Now it's worth keeping in mind once again how different this scene would look if Kamala Harris had been elected president. [00:19:40] It'd be the exact opposite. [00:19:41] She turned the 250th anniversary of this country's founding into an apology tour and She certainly wouldn't affirm that America is the product of Anglo Saxon tradition. [00:19:51] She'd tell us that Somalis and Haitian gangbangers built this country. [00:19:57] So, whenever we're frustrated with this administration, and there are plenty of reasons to be frustrated, it helps to remind yourself of the alternative that we have avoided, at least for now. [00:20:05] The other thing you have to keep in mind is that before the left used Donald Trump as a pretext to lose their minds, none of this used to be controversial. [00:20:15] The founding fathers went out of their way. [00:20:17] To criticize foreigners and to emphasize American exceptionalism. [00:20:21] Ben Franklin famously called Germans swarthy. [00:20:24] Thomas Jefferson warned of the dangers of mass migration, saying he preferred the population to grow naturally. [00:20:29] Alexander Hamilton emphasized the importance of a common national sentiment and cautioned against corrupting the national spirit by importing a population with divided loyalties. [00:20:38] And that view was consistent well into the 20th century. [00:20:42] Louisiana was hit hard by English language only laws, for example. [00:20:46] During World War I, the government stripped citizenship from thousands of people. [00:20:51] And more recently, it's hardly been controversial to highlight the importance of our shared heritage. [00:20:56] Here's Antonin Scalia in 2006 explaining that as an Italian American, he was surprised when he visited Britain for the first time and felt like he was at home. [00:21:09] He didn't recognize the influence of Britain and the Anglo Saxon tradition on the United States until that moment when it was illustrated for him so clearly. [00:21:17] Watch. [00:21:19] It's part of our tradition that everybody can be an American. [00:21:22] But there has been a common culture. [00:21:27] You don't have to belong to it, but there has been that. [00:21:30] What is it? [00:21:30] The phrase it? [00:21:31] Okay, you want to know what it is, number one? [00:21:34] Is there a bond? [00:21:35] Is there a common culture? [00:21:36] I think. [00:21:37] Let me tell you a story. [00:21:39] My junior year in college, I studied in Switzerland, and I used to get really annoyed when the French Swiss professors I had would refer constantly to les pays anglo-saxons, the Anglo-Saxon countries, meaning England, the United States, Australia, New Zealand, Canada. [00:22:03] I said, you know, hey, my name is Scalia, and I'm as American as anybody. [00:22:08] Look at this face. [00:22:09] Is this an Anglo Saxon face? [00:22:13] I had never been in England, but at the end of my year, I went to England, and I felt at home. [00:22:21] There is no doubt that American culture, American common culture, which nobody has to belong to, originates with English culture. [00:22:32] And that includes Shakespeare, it includes nursery rhymes that we all know. [00:22:37] And that we use as examples, that's our common culture. [00:22:40] And I think the framers recognized that. [00:22:44] And diversity's fine, but diversity does not make a nation. [00:22:50] Now, you used to be able to make observations like this in public without having your life destroyed. [00:22:54] And just to illustrate that point a little more, remember when everyone lost their minds over the appeal to heaven pine tree flag that was flying outside of Samuel Alito's house a few years ago? [00:23:05] It was a whole news cycle. [00:23:07] Leftists said that Alito was a. [00:23:09] An insurrectionist because he was flying the same flag as some of the protesters on January 6th. [00:23:13] And then when conservatives pointed out that the Appeal to Heaven flag is actually a well established part of American history and that liberals used to celebrate the flag themselves, the state of California flew the flag outside of government buildings. [00:23:24] It was featured in the intro to HBO's John Adams miniseries. [00:23:28] The whole story completely died. [00:23:30] And it was an embarrassing saga, one that clearly exposed the ignorance and the insane paranoia of the modern left. [00:23:38] Now, something similar is happening with the Anglo Saxon rhetoric that Trump used. [00:23:43] Here's a clip from that same John Adams miniseries from HBO. [00:23:47] It's an adaptation of remarks that John Adams actually made in real life when he met King George after America's independence. [00:23:54] Watch. [00:23:56] The United States of America. [00:24:02] The United States of America have appointed me Minister Plenipotentiary to Your Majesty. [00:24:15] I think myself more fortunate than all of my fellow citizens in having the distinguishing honor to be the first to stand in Your Majesty's presence in a diplomatic character. [00:24:37] I shall esteem myself the happiest of men if I can be instrumental in restoring the. [00:24:45] Confidence and affection, or in better words, the good old nature and the good old humor, between peoples who, though separated by an ocean and under different governments, have the same language, similar religion, and kindred blood. [00:25:14] Quote, who, though separated by an ocean and under different governments, have the same language. [00:25:19] A similar religion and kindred blood. [00:25:24] Kindred blood? [00:25:28] That's controversial. [00:25:31] You know, if he had heard that line today, Jake Tapper would accuse John Adams of being a Nazi. [00:25:36] I mean, it's not even a joke. [00:25:38] That's what he would say. [00:25:39] The women of the view would never recover. [00:25:43] But it was an uncontroversial line when John Adams said it. [00:25:47] And it was an uncontroversial line when HBO made that miniseries in 2008. [00:25:51] There was no controversy over that. [00:25:54] Only in the last decade or so did it become outrageous to talk about the benefits of our shared heritage. [00:26:00] With the British and the Anglo Saxons. [00:26:04] And that brings up an important point. [00:26:06] Talked about ethnicity earlier. [00:26:09] Yes, we should recognize that we're the product of an Anglo Saxon culture. [00:26:12] And yes, we should recognize that this heritage is unique and valuable. [00:26:16] But we should also recognize that we're not best defined as descendants of the Anglo Saxons anymore. [00:26:23] We're not solely defined that way. [00:26:25] We are something distinct. [00:26:27] We're Americans, we have our own identity. [00:26:30] We don't have to define ourselves exclusively as the descendants of Germans or Britons or Irishmen or anyone else. [00:26:38] Every nationality and ethnic group began when it achieved terminal velocity and became a distinct identity from the ones that preceded it. [00:26:45] And Americans have reached that point. [00:26:47] We are a distinct culture. [00:26:48] We are a distinct nation. [00:26:49] We are a distinct ethnicity. [00:26:52] We have our own shared traditions and heritage. [00:26:55] And none of it is captured, at least not fully, by describing us as Italian Americans or German Americans or Anglo Saxons or anything else. [00:27:03] We are Americans. [00:27:06] This is a post on X that I want to highlight because it captures exactly this idea. [00:27:09] Quote America must be understood as its own ethnos. [00:27:13] You're not a mutt. [00:27:14] You're not English, Irish, French, Italian, Polish, Scottish, German, because you've got fractions and percents of each. [00:27:21] You belong to your own ethnic group, unique to this continent, distinct from all others. [00:27:26] Theodore Roosevelt understood this well. [00:27:28] Quote The children and grandchildren of the men who came here from England, Ireland, Germany, France, Scandinavia, and the rest of Europe have become Americans, a new race with a new ethnic type. [00:27:39] And there are no more Englishmen or Germans or Scandinavians than the descendants of the Norman invaders of England are Frenchmen. [00:27:46] The frontier conditions made a new race. [00:27:47] The stern struggle with the wilderness and with wild men welded together the descendants of many European stocks into one people, the American. [00:27:56] Out of the crucible of the wilderness came a new ethnic type, hardy, self reliant, democratic in instinct, and with a continent for its inheritance. === Plastic Pollution and Civilization (03:23) === [00:28:07] Not Steady Roosevelt. [00:28:10] Now, if you doubt any of that, and all of it is just clearly true, it doesn't really matter how it makes you feel, it just is. [00:28:18] But if you doubt it, look around today. [00:28:19] We're the only country on the planet that still respects the freedom of speech, even as countries like Britain and Germany have abandoned it. [00:28:25] They arrest comedians in Britain like Graham Linehan for offending the cult of transgenderism. [00:28:31] We don't do that here. [00:28:32] We also have a unique system of government, a unique way of electing our head of state. [00:28:36] We create all the movies and television shows worth watching, with very few exceptions. [00:28:41] We make the most vitally important technology products that everyone in the world uses or benefits from, from the phone to the search engine to self driving cars to reusable rockets. [00:28:51] We innovate. [00:28:52] And in general, we are civilized to a much greater degree than most of the world. [00:28:57] Just as one example to illustrate that last point, one example of many that could be used. [00:29:04] There's been a lot of talk, especially in recent years, about pollution in the ocean. [00:29:09] A few years ago, we went through the, as you remember, the great plastic straw panic. [00:29:13] Where every restaurant in the country switched over to paper straws that melt in your Diet Coke while you're trying to use them. [00:29:20] But as I said at the time, this panic was always totally absurd, at least in our country, because almost none of the pollution in the ocean is from the United States. [00:29:27] Why? [00:29:29] Because in the United States, for the most part, we don't dump our trash into the rivers, which then ferry it like a conveyor belt into the ocean. [00:29:37] No, that is done in Africa and Asia, which is why 95% of the plastic pollution in the ocean comes from those two continents. [00:29:45] That leaves only 5% of the ocean's plastic debris to be split between the continents of Europe, North America, South America, and Australia. [00:29:52] Brazil is the worst plastic offender outside of Asia and Africa. [00:29:56] 23 European countries collectively are 18th on the list. [00:30:00] The United States comes in 20th. [00:30:02] America, with its population of 330 million, is dwarfed on the plastic pollutant list by countries like Sri Lanka, with 310 million fewer people. [00:30:13] So we could collect all the straws in North America, bundle them together, and shoot them into the sun. [00:30:17] And the state of the ocean would hardly be improved at all. [00:30:19] Indeed, we could stop using plastic altogether. [00:30:22] It would barely make a dent in the problem. [00:30:23] And that's because, again, we are a civilized country and we don't dump our trash into our rivers. [00:30:29] That's exactly what they do all across Asia and Africa. [00:30:32] In fact, the problem is so bad in the most contaminated river in the world, which is the River Salween in Southeast Asia, that local fishermen have abandoned fishing, many of them, at least abandoned fishing for actual fish, and instead they fish for glass and plastic, which they can then sell. [00:30:51] Fishermen are now catching trash in the river rather than fish because basic things like waste disposal and hygiene are not practiced across wide swaths of the globe. [00:31:05] That's the point. [00:31:07] Well, Americans don't tolerate dysfunction like that. [00:31:11] Now, yes, there are cities within the United States which are overrun with people who aren't Americans, many of them, that are dysfunctional, but cities and towns that are run by Americans are a different matter entirely. [00:31:21] And if we want to eliminate any dysfunction for good, We have no choice but to ensure that America is ruled by and for Americans. === Voting Stake and Legacy (09:45) === [00:31:30] Thanks to HomeServe for sponsoring this episode. [00:31:33] You know, there are a lot of perks to owning a home versus renting from a landlord, but one of the things that most people dread about buying and owning a home are the expensive repairs that are bound to happen. [00:31:43] Regular homeowners' insurance doesn't cover everyday repairs like plumbing failures and electrical issues, leaving you on your own to cover the repairs. [00:31:51] But now there's another option called HomeServe for as little as $4.99 a month. [00:31:56] You've got backup when things break. [00:31:58] Instead of frantically searching for a contractor in a panic, you could already be on the phone with HomeServe's 24 7 hotline, getting someone scheduled.

[00:32:52] Now, my show is proud to be sponsored by Grand Canyon University, an affordable, private, nonprofit Christian university based in beautiful Phoenix, Arizona. [00:33:01] At GCU, academically rigorous, industry driven programs are built to provide you with practical skills and career readiness. [00:33:08] They believe education shouldn't be a privilege, but an affordable path forward. [00:33:12] Because of this, GCU has kept tuition at the same rate on a traditional campus for the past 17 years and will continue that into the 26 27 academic year. [00:33:21] Plus, they awarded over $404 million institutional GCU scholarships last year to support and encourage education. [00:33:27] Grounded in Christian truth, GCU works to empower the next generation to lead with integrity, serve with purpose, and help transform their community. [00:33:35] So take action and find your purpose at GCU. [00:33:39] Visit gcu.edu to learn more. [00:33:43] So, in the spirit of our founding fathers, I humbly present my proposal for what you might call a Heritage American Bill of Rights. [00:33:52] This is a series of rules that, if enforced, would ensure the future survival of the United States by protecting the culture and shared heritage that our president has correctly identified as fundamental to our existence as a nation. [00:34:06] Rule number one first generation immigrants should not be permitted to serve in Congress at all, especially illiterate Somali ones, but also in general. [00:34:15] Like, if you just got here, then you have no business telling Americans how to live their lives. [00:34:21] You have no business spending their money. [00:34:23] You certainly have no business complaining all the time or defaming millions of people. [00:34:27] It's the height of humiliation for Americans to have to listen to a member of Congress talk about World War 11. [00:34:34] No self respecting country would tolerate this. [00:34:36] We shouldn't either. [00:34:39] We already require that presidents must be natural born citizens. [00:34:44] And that requirement should simply be extended to Congress as well for all the same reasons that we apply to the presidency. [00:34:50] Rule number two, foreigners who can't speak English or who cost taxpayers money should be deported. [00:34:58] And if they're citizens, they should be denaturalized and deported. [00:35:01] Anyone who doesn't speak our language is not an American. [00:35:06] They can't participate in our society. [00:35:09] Communication is one of the fundamental, is perhaps the fundamental requirement, number one, of participating in a society, is being able to communicate. [00:35:21] And if you can't do that, Then you're not a participant in that society. [00:35:25] You're not a member of that society. [00:35:28] So they can't assimilate. [00:35:29] They can only wall themselves off in ethnic enclaves, which breed resentment and fraud and poverty. [00:35:34] And obviously, if these people are drawing from welfare benefits, the situation is even less sustainable. [00:35:41] If you come to this country and you become a net drain on society, then you need to go back. [00:35:49] You cannot come to this country and then immediately become someone that the rest of us have to take care of. [00:35:55] That's not our responsibility, actually. [00:35:57] It's not our responsibility as Americans to take care of the entire world. [00:36:03] I actually have my own kids. [00:36:04] I take care of them. [00:36:07] You're coming here from Guatemala or something. [00:36:09] Not my responsibility to take care of you. [00:36:12] Go talk to your own family. [00:36:13] Go back. [00:36:13] Go talk to your own countrymen. [00:36:15] Figure it out at home. [00:36:18] Not my job. [00:36:18] Sorry. [00:36:20] We can't afford any other outcome. [00:36:22] Even if we wanted to feed and educate and pay the medical bills for all of the entire world, we can't. [00:36:27] I mean, the money simply isn't there. [00:36:28] It's not a possibility. [00:36:31] Rule number three, I've been very open that I think we should drastically curtail the right to vote across the board. [00:36:39] You should have some actual stake in this country at a minimum if you want to vote. [00:36:43] There has to be some legacy you want to protect. [00:36:46] And we can't measure this stake solely through property ownership, especially since foreigners, mainly from China, are buying a lot of our property. [00:36:54] We also can't measure this stake solely through the number of children you have, since foreigners are having children at far higher rates than the native population. [00:37:01] I think a very moderate and extremely generous proposal. [00:37:04] Like I said, this is very moderate. [00:37:06] But immigrants should not be allowed to vote in our elections until they've been legal citizens in this country for, say, 10 years. [00:37:13] So you have to become a legal citizen and then wait another 10 years before you can vote. [00:37:18] Voting is not or shouldn't be a universal right granted to everyone. [00:37:23] It's not already. [00:37:24] We already have some minimal standards for voting. [00:37:27] You have to be 18. [00:37:28] Most states have restrictions on felons voting. [00:37:32] Our founding fathers obviously intended for the parameters to be much stricter. [00:37:38] Now, we can't prevent people from voting based on race, and we shouldn't, and no one is suggesting that. [00:37:43] But we can protect our institutions by taking basic steps to make sure that voters are actual adult citizens of the country who are assimilated into the culture and invested in it. [00:37:55] I also think all voters should be required to complete and pass a fifth grade civics exam, which will be administered in English, by the way. [00:38:02] That'll check off the you should be an English speaker box as well. [00:38:06] And we should disenfranchise everyone on welfare. [00:38:10] Even if they're American citizens, you should not be able to vote yourself money from the public treasury. [00:38:15] You shouldn't be allowed to do that. [00:38:18] If I'm paying into the system and you're not, you're taking from it, then your vote should not count as much as mine. [00:38:22] In fact, you shouldn't have a vote. [00:38:25] But let's start with the 10 year voting moratorium for new citizens and go from there. [00:38:29] Very moderate place to start. [00:38:30] Baby steps. [00:38:33] Now, will any of these proposals become law? [00:38:35] Will any of them ever be enforced? [00:38:38] It's easy to conclude that no, they won't. [00:38:41] And they probably won't. [00:38:42] Nothing ever happens, as the saying goes. [00:38:44] But if that's your attitude, consider this. [00:38:46] Donald Trump yesterday became the first president in probably half a century to mention our Anglo Saxon tradition in a positive light. [00:38:55] He did something that no other president in modern times has dared to do. [00:38:59] And he did it multiple times while standing right next to King Charles, who was busy muttering about how diversity is our strength. [00:39:07] As far as contrasts go, it was pretty stark. [00:39:09] I feel like watching a member of Congress who thinks there were 11 world wars and then listening to a president who Understands what it takes to prevent World War III. [00:39:20] So, who are we exactly? [00:39:22] We're the product of a distinct heritage. [00:39:23] We are the best innovators, lawmakers, scientists, artists, athletes, thinkers, and fighters in the entire world. [00:39:30] We're not a melting pot or a mishmash of inferior, squabbling cultures. [00:39:35] We're Americans. [00:39:39] And as soon as we evict anti American invaders like Ilhan Omar from this country, we'll become exactly what our founding fathers were. [00:39:47] were 250 years ago, an unstoppable force advancing the interests of civilization without apology. [00:39:54] All the left's propaganda over the past few decades and all their slander have been designed to prevent that outcome from becoming reality. [00:40:01] But on Tuesday, with this message delivered by our president directly to the face of King Charles, for the first time in memory, these enemies of Western civilization finally have an enemy of their own. [00:40:14] Americans who understand their heritage, Take pride in their identity, their ethnicity, their American ethnicity. [00:40:23] They're the single greatest imaginable threat to leftism and all of its objectives. [00:40:27] And yesterday, in a couple of speeches that could have been merely ceremonial, those Americans were given their marching orders. [00:40:36] That'll do it for the show today. [00:40:36] Thanks for watching. [00:40:37] Thanks for listening. [00:40:38] Talk to you tomorrow. [00:40:39] Have a great day. [00:40:40] Godspeed. [00:40:42] I do believe that if people have committed treason against the United States of America, their statues should not be in the Capitol. [00:40:58] History is written by the victors. [00:40:59] And since the 1960s, we've been told, mostly by people whose ancestors didn't even live here during the war, that the South committed treason. [00:41:07] But if the Confederates were traitors, then why was Jefferson Davis never put on trial for treason? === Lincoln, Treason, and History (00:21) === [00:41:16] What were Abraham Lincoln and Andrew Johnson afraid of? [00:41:20] Did they know something they're not allowed to say today? [00:41:24] It's time for the truth. [00:41:25] So here it is. [00:41:26] Robert E. Lee was a military genius and a man of immense honor. [00:41:29] It was beloved by Americans from the North and South for a century after the war. [00:41:34] This is the real history of the Civil War.
