Starting point is 00:00:00 Kayak gets my flight, hotel, and rental car right, so I can tune out travel advice that's just plain wrong. Bro, Skycoin, way better than points. Never fly during a Scorpio full moon. Just tell the manager you'll sue. Instant room upgrade. Stop taking bad travel advice. Start comparing hundreds of sites with kayak and get your trip right. Bad advice.
Starting point is 00:00:24 You talking to me? Kayak, got that right. Today, the Matt Wall Show, the investigation into the Brown University shooting has been a debacle, unlike anything we've ever seen before. What the hell is going on exactly? We'll talk about it today. Also, the Attorney General of Minnesota has identified the culprits responsible for all the car thefts in his state. And the culprit is the car manufacturer, of course. And the house finally passes a bill, banning child mutilation. Thank God. All of that. And more today on the Matt Wall Show. Every time you use Facebook or Google, you're paying with your data. These companies track your activity. You use it to sell targeted ads that can influence and manipulate you.
Starting point is 00:01:28 If privacy matters to you, there are steps you can take to protect yourself online. One tool I use is our sponsor, ExpressVPN, which encrypts your internet traffic and hides your browsing from your ISB. If you're not actively protecting your privacy online, your ISP can see every site you visit and in the U.S. They can legally sell that data. Meanwhile, data brokers are tracking you through your IP address, building detailed profile, of everything you do online. As someone who spends hours researching for each show, I rely on ExpressVPN all the time,
Starting point is 00:01:54 especially when I have to connect airport or public Wi-Fi on the go. It's worth it for me to have a peace of mind of knowing my data is safe. It encrypts all my activity, hides my IP address, so my ISP has nothing to sell and data brokers can't track me.
Starting point is 00:02:07 It's incredibly fast and easy, just one button to turn it on. Works on all your devices, and one subscription covers 14 of them so you can protect your whole household. Plus, you don't need to be tech-savvy to use it, but experts at CNET and the verge rank it as the number one VPN in the world.
Starting point is 00:02:21 I partner with ExpressVPN because I want all my viewers to have access to this important privacy information, which is why right now you can get an extra four months when you go to ExpressVPN.com slash Walsh.

People who are so extraordinarily terrible at their jobs to the degree that they cause serious harm to others should be treated just as harshly, if not more harshly, than bad actors who intend to cause damage in the first place. If you take a shower one day and you end up getting electrocuted, it doesn't really matter from a practical perspective whether your electrician meant to kill you
Starting point is 00:03:01 or not when he hooked up your wiring in the bathroom. The effect is that you're dead. The electrician is to blame, and he should pay the highest price for that. Now, Brown University, the Ivy League School in Providence, Rhode Island has now crossed the threshold into extreme incompetence that is indistinguishable from malice. So have local authorities in Providence, as well as any federal authorities who are working on the case. On Saturday at 4 p.m., as you may have heard, nearly five days ago, a gunman shot 11 people on the campus of Brown University. One of the two victims who died was the vice president of the university's chapter of the college Republicans. There are reports that she may have been targeted and that she was shot multiple times at close range.
Starting point is 00:03:44 And in the aftermath of this mass shooting and possible political assassination, the university and authorities have bungled the case so flagrantly, so many times that they may as well be working with the shooter. We truly have never seen a high-profile murder investigation that's been botched as extensively as this one, at least not in recent memory. Now, whether it's being botched deliberately or not, it doesn't really matter. And therefore, if you're a conservative, particularly if you're an outspoken conservative on campus or at work or anywhere, that means you need to start taking steps to ensure your own safety. Assume absolutely nothing about the level of concern that your administrators or bosses or superiors may have for your well-being. Because the odds are they have no concern for that whatsoever. They'll celebrate your death and they'll let your killer escape. So let's start with this hypothetical.
Starting point is 00:04:40 Well, let's say that you run the Brown University Department of Public Safety or the Providence Police Department or the FBI's local field office in Rhode Island. Then let's say that during a study session in a lecture hall at the local university, which was attended by many students, there's a mass shooting. And the shooter runs away. What's the first thing you're going to do in order to identify the shooter? So odds are you're going to do two things. You're going to check one of the 1,200 surveillance cameras that Brown has admitted are installed on campus to see if they picked up anything. And then while those cameras are being reviewed 24-7, you're going to interview every witness, especially the students who were attending the study session. You're going to talk to every single one of them.
Starting point is 00:05:26 You're going to take statements from those students about what the shooter looked like and what he may have said and where he may have gone, what exactly happened, and so on. And if you don't know the names of the students who are taking the class or who are in the building, you get it from the school. You see who swiped into the building. You check the class roster. It should take like 10 seconds. This is all common sense. I mean, it almost feels absurd to say any of this out loud because your average third grader would understand all of it. And yet on Wednesday, we learned that the authorities still have not spoken to all of the witnesses in the room where the shooting occurred.
Starting point is 00:06:02 This is footage of the Providence Police Chief Oscar Perez. Watch. Colonel, can you now explain to us five days later how many students were in that classroom? Sadly, two lost their lives. And I know who had been encouraged about the update today. But can you now say how many kids were in that classroom? And did the gun come in from the back so these people never knew it was coming? Or did he come in front with full view of everybody?
Starting point is 00:06:31 That's all part of the interviews. actually cooperating with Brown to get the roster. That was a study hall, so we don't have the number. We're still getting information as far as who was there. I know Brown sent out an email to the students to notify us if they were present, and we're still getting that. So I can't give you an exact account now. So you can barely speak English, but it's okay because the Providence City Council
Starting point is 00:06:53 made racial equity a top priority after George Floyd's overdose. So don't worry about it. And by the way, while we're at it, here's an image of the head of Brown's Police Department, a guy named Rodney Chapman, who you can see here on the screen. And he's been the subject of multiple no-confidence votes by multiple police unions in the past year, but don't worry. Like the female president of Brown and the Spanish-speaking chief police, chief of police in Providence, Rodney Chapman is diverse. So, you know, it's all okay. Yes, everybody involved in this debacle at every level is diverse, quote-unquote. Imagine that. Now, in any event, the upshadow
Starting point is 00:07:32 from the police chief's comments, as best I can decipher, is that the Providence Police Department is still trying to figure out who was even there in the room when the shooting happened five days ago, which is an extraordinary admission. I mean, this is the lowest caliber of police work imaginable under the circumstances. And then he made reference to this statement from Brown University, which was sent out on Monday evening two full days after the shooting, quote, the Providence Police Department has asked that anyone who was in Barris and Holly, the building where the shooting occurred on Friday or Saturday, December 12th through 13th, arranged for an interview. And they provide an email address to contact. Now, that's a request that should have gone out immediately on Saturday
Starting point is 00:08:17 night. And they really shouldn't need to make the request because, again, the building should have been locked down immediately. And everyone should have been identified on the spot with a class roster or with the access card readers or with cameras. But if that's not possible for some reason, then you still need to conduct the witness interviews immediately one way or another. Instead, the police and university waited 48 hours to reach out to potential witnesses.
Starting point is 00:08:49 And 100 hours after the fact, they still haven't conducted those interviews. Now, there are only two possible ways to explain this delay. Either the police and the school want to, assist the shooter in making his escape. That's one possibility. We can't rule it out. Or everybody involved is criminally incompetent and needs to be fired and treated as if they were accomplices after the fact. These are the two options. When you zoom out and consider the timeline
Starting point is 00:09:19 of this debacle, you really can't come to any other conclusion. First of all, just hours after the shooting, the authorities announced that they had identified a person of interest in the shooting. His name and photograph were plastered everywhere. It was a lot of the shooting. It was a was a white guy who had some military experience, and then within 24 hours, they released him, saying they didn't have enough evidence to hold him. And after that, the first surveillance images of another potential suspect surface from ring cameras in the neighborhood, and this new suspect looked absolutely nothing like their first person of interest. The new suspect was much, much larger, much less physically fit. So right away, that raised the question of why they
Starting point is 00:09:58 suspected the white guy in the first place. And then on Monday, the authorities conceded that the shooter had shouted something, shouted something that many, many people would have heard. But they refused to say more. They also didn't address speculation that the shooter may have shouted ala Akbar, as some outlets had reported. Instead, they gave a vague and kind of equivocal response. Watch. Now, there's a report the shooter yelled something right before he shot came in. Could you tell us what that what that was. Yeah, part of the investigation, John and Wilk. The only reason I ask that, though, is, for instance,
Starting point is 00:10:36 like with a Unabomber, his brother recognized the writing. So it's possible a friend or family member might recognize if the person said something that was significant. Correct. That's why, you don't, other than the 9mm, is there anything else inside that auditorium that you could tell us? No, that's correct. And listen, like I said earlier, investigations will bring us to evidence that we need to collect in order to be able to prosecute.
Starting point is 00:11:06 With that being said, with that being said, we're going to continue to collect evidence. And if it leads us to something to that nature that's going to be extremely helpful for us to identify somebody, will be the first ones to put it out. Now, imagine if the shooter had yelled or even been rumored to have yelled, something like, this is MAGA country? Is there any doubt they'd tell us that within like five seconds of the shooting? All of their hesitation in double speak, it's also obviously fake and performative at this point. And of course, when you get double speak and nonsense, you get an information void.
Starting point is 00:11:42 And when there's an information void in every single case, it gets filled with speculation, for better or worse. So as it became clear that the authorities weren't going to share any meaningful information, internet sleuths got to work. and they identified as a potential person of interest, a brown student and self-described Palestinian refugee with a very public profile whose body type was a rough match with the surveillance images. And this new individual is clearly a radical leftist. He had social media accounts with exotic personal pronouns sympathized with Hamas, boasted about his extensive work at, quote, the intersection of queer studies and Palestine studies, which seems like it has to be some kind of parody, but it's real. You know, the intersection of queer studies and Palestine studies is a bit like, you know, the intersection of transgenderism and the Taliban.
Starting point is 00:12:32 The only relevant intersection in Palestine, as it relates to homosexuals, is the intersection where the gays land when they get thrown off of roofs. And nevertheless, Brown University's PR department had aggressively promoted this guy as a migrant success story who was bravely showing the white man whose boss. Now, is this Palestinian refugees studying the intersection of queer studies and Palestine studies? Also the shooter? I have no idea. No one does. It's all wild speculation from random people on the internet. That's why I'm not going to name him. I'm just telling you that this is what's going on. It's part of the story. But then something strange happened. This guy's social media profiles began disappearing. So did the glowing articles that Brown had posted on their website about him. And then Brown posted this statement online.
Starting point is 00:13:23 Quote, we've seen harmful doxing actively directed at least one member of the Brown University community. It's important to make clear the targeted
Starting point is 00:13:30 individuals could do irrevocable harm. Accusations, speculation, and conspiracies we're seeing on social media and in some news reports are irresponsible, harmful, and in some cases
Starting point is 00:13:39 dangerous for the safety of individuals in our community. It's not unusual as a safety measure to take steps to protect an individual's safety when this kind of activity happens, including it in regard to their online presence. As law enforcement officials stated, if this individual's name had any relevance to the
Starting point is 00:13:56 current investigation, they would be actively looking for this individual and providing information publicly. Now, superficially in general, it seems like a kind of reasonable response. It would obviously be horrible to publicly smear an innocent man as a potential suspect at a mass shooting, which is why it was horrible that just a few days ago, the authorities did exactly that by naming an innocent white guy as their suspect. But there are two strange aspects of this statement from Brown. First of all, it's not an explicit denial. They don't clearly and unambiguously deny that this Palestinian refugee, quote-unquote, is a suspect,
Starting point is 00:14:35 or that he's being investigated. They could have just said that, but they didn't. Instead, they imply that his name doesn't have relevance to the current investigation, which is a weird way of saying that he's not a suspect, if that's what they're saying. note the weird phrasing in that message where they say if this name had any relevance to the investigation and we'll come back to that in a second secondly there's reason to doubt that the department would in fact inform the public if this individual did become a suspect a providence police major in charge of the investigation admitted to reporters that in fact there are some facts that they are hiding from quote public view watch
Starting point is 00:15:14 Just here in furtherance of the investigation into the Brown University shooting. There's really not much I can tell you, like I told you before, but it's just the investigation running its course. Now, this investigation, you know, it's got to be run right, and sometimes you have to do things that, you know, aren't in the public view as of yet. Not that we're hiding anything. It's just the way we work.
Starting point is 00:15:42 So that's why we haven't been able to get it. give you much information, but we're trying to do the best job we can. And some things we have to keep, you know, out of the public light until we're ready to come out with everything. Well, it's not exactly a rousing promise of transparency. And it gets worse when you listen to what the President of Brown and the Rhode Island Attorney General said separately. The President Brown said that she has no idea that the university is deleting websites. She had no idea that they're deleting websites about this person. And the Attorney General basically shouted down reporters who asked about the individual. But again, he didn't explicitly rule him out as a suspect
Starting point is 00:16:18 either. So we'll play those two clips back-to-back watch. Leave some web pages for students or faculty even taken down. Is that a response to any external threats to anyone in the community? We have been working very closely with law enforcement to provide them with all of the internal to brown information that they need to do this investigation. It's their investigation. They're the professionals. So we're providing information. We're not in the job of reviewing it for them. I know nothing about web pages being taken down is part of this.
Starting point is 00:16:53 It's the first I've heard of it. There are lots of reasons why a page might be taken down, particularly if there's chatter out there about, to your question, Amanda, about words that were spoken. It's easy to jump from someone saying words that were spoken to what those words are, to a particular name that reflects a most. of targeting a particular person, that's a really dangerous road to go down. Really dangerous.
Starting point is 00:17:19 If that name meant anything to this investigation, we would be out looking for that person. We would let you know we were looking for that person. You know, again, I think it's just a really dangerous road to go down. I know that in today's age, there are lots of things that people read into things. It's just a dangerous thing to do. And I would leave it to us to identify persons of interest and let us and let us run them down. What the public can do for us today
Starting point is 00:17:46 is help us figure out who this guy is. Now, first of all, why is the Attorney General appearing at these press conferences at all? The job of the Attorney General is to prosecute state-level offenses. So what is he doing at this stage when there's an act of investigation? Imagine if you're this student
Starting point is 00:18:03 and you've been falsely smeared all over the internet and instead of defending you and clearly stating that you're not remotely a suspect, the Attorney General barges into the press conference for no reason grand stands and threatens reporters for asking about you. I'd be livid.
Starting point is 00:18:21 If you were actually innocent, you'd be livid about that. Secondly, notice the phrasing he used. He says, if that name meant anything to this investigation, then they tell us the name. It's just virtually identical to the language in the statement that Brown released. And it's a very strange, like,
Starting point is 00:18:39 tortured way to make the point. Why not just say, if, that individual was relevant to the investigation, we'd tell you he's not a suspect or even a person of interest, period. But they could just say that. The individual you're talking about is not a suspect, he is not a person of interest, end of story. But they're not saying that. Instead, they kept saying, they keep saying that the guy's name isn't relevant. It's very odd to repeat the same phrasing, especially when the phrasing is so awkward. Now yet, it's possible, yes, that they're trying and failing to clearly state that he's not a suspect.
Starting point is 00:19:13 or a person of interest. Maybe these people are all foreign language speakers or something, and they lack the capacity to clearly spell out a simple thought. But it's also possible, based on what they're saying, that they're not ruling this guy out as a potential person of interest just yet. Maybe they're trying to say that, well, maybe he is a person of interest, but his name, you don't need to know his name. His name is not relevant to you. His name doesn't matter. Maybe that's what they're saying. Who knows what they're saying? We don't know. But that possibility became even more pronounced yesterday when the following image was released of a separate person of interest in the case. This surveillance image appears to show
Starting point is 00:19:55 a woman wearing a black hijab walking near the crime scene and the original person of interest in the case. And obviously this image raises the specter once again of Islamist terrorism. It raises the question of whether foreigners and leftists have once again murdered Westerners as part of their global jihad or their intifada, as the mayor of New York prefers to call it. And if that is indeed what happened here, and again, we have no idea at this point. Then it becomes very relevant,
Starting point is 00:20:24 very important to revisit Brown's claims about the cameras on their campus. I came across this article from Brown's student newspaper, which was published back in March. It's about how the students at Brown were upset at the situation at Columbia, another Ivy League school where leftist criminals are rampant.
Starting point is 00:20:43 And here's what it says. Quote, on Thursday afternoon, approximately 200 students gathered on the main green at Brown to protest the arrest, the detainment of Columbia alum and activist, Mahmoud Khalil, by immigration and customs enforcement officers at Columbia on Saturday. The protesters also requested the university destroy footage of past and future political speech on campus, including security camera footage. So the left-wing pro-Palestine activists are demanding that Brown, erase security camera footage
Starting point is 00:21:11 supposedly so that ICE and the Trump administration can't deport them when they commit crimes. Did Brown comply in any way with that demand? There are many more demands like it all year long. That's not surprising. Leftists despise surveillance cameras, particularly ring cameras, because they tend to catch Democrat voters committing crimes. Yesterday, a reporter asked this specific question
Starting point is 00:21:32 at one of these press conferences, and once again, the authorities did not answer. One camera and that bill and the Brown put off because the sanctuary city law that we have. You don't want to recall illegal immigrants and you don't want to provide the footage to the FPR or immigration authority. One camera and that will come out from your detectives, they are afraid of mine. They're angry at this investigation that these people in Brown University, put the camera out. They can identify that person.
Starting point is 00:22:03 You imagine how the family want to go through? We... Tell the truth to the media here. here. We heard from both the Brown Police Chief and the Provost of Brown, who have shared that they have been fully cooperative and shared, been forthcoming with all data and evidence that they have. That was not the only moment the authorities gave an unsatisfactory answer on this point. Two days ago, the Attorney General stated that some buildings on campus are old, and therefore it's simply unrealistic to expect a multi-billion dollar university to put cameras on those buildings. This is reminiscent of the secret services excuse about sloped rooftops, if you remember that. Watch. It doesn't come as a surprise to me at least, that there are cameras and the newer part of the building. And there is video footage, okay? So there's the back part of the building, old part,
Starting point is 00:22:51 and front part, new part. The shooting occurs in the old part towards the back, up towards Oak Street. And that older part of the building, there are fewer, if any, cameras in that location. I imagine because it's an older building. So as students are fleeing the area, the shooting into the new part of the building there are cameras in that in that brand new building that show that chaos but the only but the only the only the only of the presumed anticipated suspected however you wanted to define a person of interest you have it we would release it if we thought it would be helpful in identifying this subject because we are relying on the present
Starting point is 00:23:35 public to help get us this There would be no reason for us to hold it back. We're looking for the best image. Now, the answer never made any sense. For one thing, as Fox reported, there are older buildings on the campus, including the president's residents, that have cameras.
Starting point is 00:23:48 And secondly, it's not hard to install a camera on a building of any age. You can install a camera on a tree trunk, if you want to. You just need a drill. I mean, it's like claiming that you can't wear brand new shoes and walk on a really old floor.
Starting point is 00:24:03 It just, it makes no sense. It's like if someone says, Hey, your shoes look really old. Well, yeah, the floor's old. What do you expect? You need to get some new shoes. Well, I can't. You know how old these floors are?
Starting point is 00:24:17 There's no need to overthink it because within 24 hours, this answer completely changed once again. Suddenly, according to Brown's provost, there were cameras in the building, it turns out. And as a reporter pointed out, before he was cut off, the provost's answer was nonsensical. Watch. hundred cameras located throughout the campus.
Starting point is 00:24:38 We don't publish the locations of the cameras. That would give a map to somebody to evade detection on the cameras. So that would be counterproductive to do that. There are cameras in this building. And as I answered the previous question, we have turned over all evidence that we are holding at Brown to law enforcement and are cooperating fully with them. So you're saying that there's a camera in the building,
Starting point is 00:25:01 I was told yesterday there wasn't cameras in the building. The Attorney General said, old building, no cameras attached to a new building with cameras. I believe he said that there were two different phases of the building that might have two different levels of technology. Again, all video imagery has been turned over to law enforcement. That doesn't make sense. So that about sums it up. Nothing about this investigation makes sense, which means that in a roundabout way, it makes perfect sense. This is what you get when you hire university presidents and police chiefs based on their gender and ethnicity.
Starting point is 00:25:31 It's what you get when you tolerate riots and terrorism on college campuses all over the country, in the name of global jihad. And most of all, it's what you get when leftists from students to school administrators to public officials feel like their ideology is losing at a national level. You get dead conservatives, and then you get gloating. The account aesthetic on X, which has been one of the most trustworthy sources for investigations like this, reported that in the after. aftermath of Saturday's attack, quote, a Brown University subreddit had to be shut down because
Starting point is 00:26:06 in the immediate aftermath of the shooting, far-left pro-Palestine redditors were celebrating the murder of Ella Cook, college Republicans VP, who was a kill. So it's the same gloating we saw from the left after the attempted assassination of Donald Trump, the murder of a United Healthcare CEO, and of course, after the murder of Charlie Kirk. And now we're seeing the same gloating after the murder of a conservative student on a college campus. Now, this is a one of the what happens when our leaders are more concerned about Venezuela than protecting conservatives and dismantling left-wing terror cells. Leftists gloat openly about butchering their political opponents and don't even try to hide it. And based on how the very diverse leaders of Brown University and the local police department
Starting point is 00:26:49 have handled this so-called investigation, it's not exactly a stretch to conclude that when the cameras are turned off after these ridiculous press conferences, they're gloating too.

Starting point is 00:29:23 All right. Hope everybody is ready for Christmas. I completed my Christmas shopping early this year. This is early for me. What are we just exactly a week before Christmas? Already done my shopping. I already feeling pretty good. This is the, this is, I've never been this ahead of the game.
Starting point is 00:29:42 Now, granted, it's easy for me because I'm only buying for one person, which is my wife. But, but even so. And as I say every year, because I just have to. And I think it's one of the best selling points in a day and age when people are hesitant to get married. married, one of the, I mean, not the best, not the main thing, not the headline, but like one of the perks of marriage, if you're a man anyway, is that the holidays become so much easier. They really do. I mean, they're much more enjoyable because you have a family, you know, you've got a wife and you have kids. Uh, so there's that. But then also the stress of the holidays, especially around, you've got to buy everybody gifts and all that kind of stuff. Organize whatever. You're going to see family, figure all that stuff out. Uh, that's off your plate. when you're a man, your wife takes care of that. And that's great. And they love it.
Starting point is 00:30:30 They love it too. They love all that stuff. Even if they pretend they don't, they love all that stuff. They love buying the gifts. They love all that. So really, you're doing them a favor. As the man, you just let your wife take care of all the gifts and all the arrangements. It's really generosity on your part.
Starting point is 00:30:47 I mean, honestly. So my wife goes out and, I mean, I make the money. I give the money to her. Well, I mean, it's in a bank account. She takes the money out. She goes and buys the gifts for. everybody. And really, it's easy for me. And I think I'm being very magnanimous. I'm being very generous because she's being allowed to do this thing that she really enjoys doing. And I don't
Starting point is 00:31:10 have to do it. And then I, and then it's great on Christmas morning. I find out, I find out what I got everybody. So it's kind of a surprise for me too. The kids open the gifts and say, oh, thanks, dad. And I say, oh, yeah. I thought you'd like that. that figured you really like that thing there that I got you so um so it's great I can't uh recommend it enough and so much better I mean I had a few years several years of adulthood prior to marriage before marriage where so where I had to handle a lot of this stuff I mean I haven't you know it wasn't as much but I'd have there's like I'd buy gifts family members and whatever I just never want to go back to that. And that was back, like, that was back in the day. If you can imagine it,
Starting point is 00:32:01 that was back in the days before Amazon, or maybe Amazon existed, but you didn't have Amazon Prime. You couldn't just order anything at all and have it up here at your doorstep in 45 minutes. It was before that. Anyway, so I had to go, and I always waited at the last minute, of course. So it's just a cliche. I'm out, it's like Christmas Eve, an hour before the mall closes, and I'm there, and I've got to buy gifts. for 14 people. And here I am walking around, like physically walking around, looking with my own feet,
Starting point is 00:32:34 my own legs, I have to walk around on some quest to find gifts for all the, I have like a list of all these people and I got to find a gift they might like. I don't want to go back to that. I can't go back to it. And I never will have to.
Starting point is 00:32:49 So it's great. All right. And I've got my festive Christmas shirt today too. this is this is as festive as I get. You probably can't see it on camera, but it's got a little, it's got a little, like Christmas lights on the, on the shirt. So this is, this is, for me, putting on a shirt like this, this is why, this is crazy. This is, this is me getting wild and crazy. I walked out this morning, my wife saw me in this shirt, said, whoa, whoa,
Starting point is 00:33:15 hit the eggnog a little early this morning. This is, this is, take it easy. Calm down. So, and then I come in here and they try to tell me I can't wear it on camera because it's too busy, and it will look weird on camera. It's like, this is Christmas. The war on Christmas has made it into my own studio. So I don't know how it looks on camera, but it's supposed to look festive. All right, I've got three clips, three stories that I want to play that are separate but related. So here's the communist mayor of New York on the Trevor Noah podcast defending again his idea to make the buses free.
Starting point is 00:33:58 in this city. Listen to this. We made five bus routes free in New York City. When we made those bus routes free after a year, assaults on bus drivers dropped by 38.9 percent. On the bus drivers? On the bus drivers. Because unlike the train, the act of fare collection on the bus happens on the bus. It's their job. And bus drivers and unions have shared anecdotally that about 50 percent of assaults happen around the fare box. So when you eliminate the fare box, you make for a safer experience for the bus driver, for everyone on the bus. Yeah. Yes, perfect logic here. So what he's saying is that bus drivers get assaulted by drugged out vagrants when they try to collect bus fare. So the solution is to stop collecting
Starting point is 00:34:45 bus fare. That's the solution that he's come up with, is, you know, scumbags are assaulting you when you try to make them pay. And so just don't make them pay and they won't hit you anymore. I mean, this is like if your son was getting beat up for his lunch money on the way to school every morning. And he came to you about it and you said, well, I guess the only solution is for you to stop eating lunch. I guess, son, we just have to stop giving you lunch money. Can't give you a bagged lunch either because he'll take that too. So it's the only solution. Now, it really is your fault.
Starting point is 00:35:23 Honestly, son, for this is your fault for having you. having lunch money that could be stolen. You're not telling him to stay it up for himself. You're not telling him to hit back. You're not even like going to the principal about it. Your solution is just to cower to the bullies. Although I guess really the correct analogy would be if your son had that problem. And so instead, your solution was to give him a separate bag of, you know, or whatever of lunch
Starting point is 00:35:50 or lunch money that he could give to the bullies, basically like pay them off every morning or something like that. Either way, it's pathetic. But somehow, not worse than this. Same idea, but this is even worse from Keith Ellison, the Attorney General of Minnesota. And here's what he has to say about the problem of cars being stolen. And who's the blame for that in Minnesota? Watch. Everybody, Keith Ellison here. Public safety isn't only about holding people accountable when they commit crimes. It's also about holding corporations accountable when their negligence puts Minnesotans at risk. In 2021, the Kia Boys Challenge, the Kia Boys Challenge swept social media after a few teenagers posted videos on TikTok showing how Kia and Hyundai vehicles could easily be stolen. This wasn't true when other car makes because nearly all other
Starting point is 00:36:52 cars sold in America came equipped with something called an engine immobilized. That standard came in almost all cars, but not in Kia's and in Hyundai's. Relatively few of them had the technology for the simple reason that these companies didn't make this common sense technology standard and installed them in their cars, as they did do in Mexico and Canada. Same car. Attorney General's office, we led a bipartisan investigation into the vulnerabilities and uncovered just how serious these. problems were. Even after Hyundai and Kia said that they had fixed the problem, they hadn't fixed the problem. We pressed these companies to do much more and we won. Under the settlement, Hyundai and Kia must provide free ignition cylinder protectors for every vulnerable vehicle. They must pay millions
Starting point is 00:37:47 of restitution to people whose cars were stolen or damaged. And every car they sell from now on must include anti-theft technology. The same standard the rest of the industry is used for years. At the end of the day, friends, when corporations cut corners, people get hurt. I'm going to hold them accountable every time.
Starting point is 00:38:10 Okay, so let's follow this. Track the logic. Teens in Minnesota. Teens in Minnesota, we're calling them, are stealing cars all over the place. Keith Ellison looks at this and says, Hmm. Hmm. These criminals are stealing cars. What can we do about that? Hmm. And he thinks about it for a while. Then he says to himself, oh, I know, I'll sue the car manufacturers for not making it harder to steal the cars. Yeah, the cars are the problem. We got all these cars being stolen. Who's at fault for that? Oh, I know. The cars. Maybe if the cars hadn't been dressed like that, this wouldn't have happened. I mean, if you're a car, you should have
Starting point is 00:38:54 You know better than that. You can't go around dress like that. You're asking for it. You're asking for it when you go around looking like that as a car. So this is even worse than the bus fare thing because there are two obvious points about car theft. One is that if you want to prevent them, the way to do it is not to punish the people who make the thing that's being stolen. Okay, if somebody steals my watch, I'm not going to then go write an angry letter to the company that made the watch. Okay, if someone steals my wallet, I'm not going to call up the wallet company. I'm not going to call, you know, 1-800 wallet and start yelling at them because someone stole my wallet. That's not what I'm going to do. No, what you do, Keith, is you severely punish the thieves. Have you even tried that? Have you even tried that? I mean, he mentions the, the, the Kia challenge or whatever, which is just these, these quote-unquote teens stealing cars. What happened to them? What happened to the teens, Keith, that were stealing cars apparently on camera as a TikTok
Starting point is 00:40:09 challenge? What happened to them? Did any of them go to jail at all? I'm betting that none of them did any serious time in jail. So they're stealing cars. You do nothing about it at all. You do not punish these people in the slightest bit, and then you're confused about why it's happening.
Starting point is 00:40:32 And second, before you blame the companies making the cars, what about the people who are making the car thieves, right? What about rather than looking at the car manufacturers? What about the car thief manufacturers? What blame do we put on them? You know, have you noticed something about car theft? It's, in this just simple reality, not a problem in white neighborhoods that put the cards on the table, not a problem in white neighborhoods. Like the number one way to ensure that your car is not stolen is to park it in a predominantly white area.
Starting point is 00:41:19 That's a fact that's just true. That's a statistical fact. So if you're trying to get to the bottom of it, why are all these cars being stolen? What's going on here? That's kind of a, you got to deal with that. You can't overlook that. You know, as I've said before, I have lived, I live now in, you know, various different small town, rural places that are not diverse, very little diversity.
Starting point is 00:41:48 And in those places, nobody's car is stolen like ever. I mean, you could leave your car, you could leave the key in your car. and the car running and the door unlocked and nobody will steal it. So this can't just be an issue of making sure cars aren't easy to steal because the weird thing is like depending on where you live, you could go to, if you live in a place like this, if you live in one of these places where this is not an issue, you could go to the gas station, leave your keys in the car with the car running, get out of the car, announced loudly, hey everybody, I am going to leave my keys in this car right here and the door is going to be unlocked and I'm going to go into the store and I'm going to be in there for 10
Starting point is 00:42:39 minutes and I will not be watching. And by the way, I'm parked in a place where there's no security camera. The security camera does not cover this area. So that's what's happening, everybody. I'm going to go in right now. There will be 10 minutes with a key in this car and no one will know if you take it. Okay, see you. You could do that. and nothing will happen. You come out 10 minutes, 10 minutes later, and the car will still be running. Like, it's more likely that somebody will have just, like,
Starting point is 00:43:10 helpfully, I don't know, wiped off your windshields for you. That's more likely than it will be stolen. And yet, if you go to the areas in the country where the quote-unquote teens are doing, quote-unquote, TikTok challenges, like the one that Keith Elson is talking about, if you go there, you could lock your door, take the keys, have every anti-theft system in place, park it in a well-lit area, security cameras all over the place, you're running in and out in two and a half minutes going as fast as you can, and it might still
Starting point is 00:43:46 get stolen. Why is that? You know, that's what Keith Ellison doesn't want to talk about. And it's just not possible for us to have any meaningful or productive conversation about crime, unless we're going to acknowledge that fact. Why are there communities where if you left your keys in the car for 10 seconds, it is guaranteed to be stolen? And then there are other communities where you could just never lock your door or your car ever and you could live there for 40 years and nothing will ever be stolen. Why is that the case? And that also reminds me of this clip that someone posted. This is a guy named, the guy who posted anyway is named Dries von Lagenhove. And he posted this footage, which is, I think, not from America.
Starting point is 00:44:41 I think this might be the Netherlands. I'm not sure, but here's the footage. Yet another local farm sand got plundered by migrants this morning, this time in a small countryside town of Hunsel. These last semblance of high-trust society are rapidly disappearing due to incessant, shameless, shameless theft by hostile invaders. And you can see, we'll show you a few seconds of the footage. There it is.
Starting point is 00:45:04 So this goes on for five minutes. These apparent migrants spend five minutes just clearing this place out, taking their time. They go back, they take a bunch of stuff, leave and then they come back because, you know, it's too much. They're stealing too many things to fit. It's too much to carry, so they go back several times. And steal everything. Now, these farm stands are all. also very common in certain parts of America. I've, I've lived in various places that have these
Starting point is 00:45:36 farm stands. A couple of years ago, we had one near to our neighborhood about three minutes away, and we'd go every Saturday morning, and we would grab some fresh eggs and some produce at this farm stand, and that was kind of our routine, and it was nice. And it was just a nice thing. It's like a very nice thing. It's a very nice thing to have in your community. Right? It's not, it doesn't, it's not going to make or break you, but it's like a really nice thing to have. You can just go right down the street. You've got the fresh eggs. You've got fresh produce. You just hop in there and usually there's nobody there. Sometimes there is. Like maybe the guy who runs a farm stand is kind of milling about. He's out in his front yard. You say hi to him. And a lot of times they're not there.
Starting point is 00:46:16 And the stands are just unmanned. Like they're unmanned little shacks, usually in someone's front yard. And you take what you want. Prices are listed. You put money in a box or something. Sometimes they're There's, these days there's like a QR code. You can scan it. You can pay that way. And it's totally, it's just the honor system. It's just the honor system is all it is. And this is what it's like to live in a high trust society, as the caption notes.
Starting point is 00:46:42 It is possible to have this kind of trust in your neighbors. In fact, this used to be the norm all across America is very possible. It's not some kind of utopian thing. There are still communities like this in America. And it's not just about the farm stand. The farm stand is kind of like the canary. in the coal mine. Like coal mine, if I go to a community and I see that they have a farm stand, I can immediately make a number of significant assumptions about that place. If I was looking for
Starting point is 00:47:10 a house and I was looking to move into a neighborhood, and that's one of the things I'm going to look for. Not that like if it doesn't have a farm stand, it's automatically a bad area. But to me, if I see that, that tells me a lot. That tells me a lot about this place. It tells me that it's safe, tells me it's low crime, it tells me people are basically friendly, it tells me there's a strong sense of community, it tells me that the people in this community are honest people, relatively speaking. And I can assume all of that from the presence of an unmanned farm stand. Now, on the other hand, if your neighborhood cannot have a farm stand, I don't mean like if your neighborhood doesn't have one. I mean, there's plenty of neighborhoods that are nice and don't have
Starting point is 00:47:53 them. But if your neighborhood just couldn't have one, if it would not be possible to have one, then that's the only indicator I need to tell me that I don't want to live there. I don't want to live there. And here's the thing. To maintain this level of high trust requires that basically everyone is on board. And somebody on X made this point. I think it was the account's name, the guy's Wayne is his name. And he made the point that it really doesn't make touch, It doesn't take much to ruin this, right? It's not like it is not as though. And this is something that, and this is his point, Wayne's point,
Starting point is 00:48:33 the crime statistics don't fully take this into account. Because you start looking at percentages and you can say, well, here's the crime percentage and here's the and seems like a low percentage. But it doesn't tell you the whole story because it doesn't take much. Okay, a high trust society does not, merely require that a majority of people are trustworthy. Okay, if you get over the 50% hump, you're not anywhere close to living in a high trust society. High trust society where you, as the name implies, you can just basically trust everybody around you. Doesn't mean they're
Starting point is 00:49:12 perfect. It just means that you can basically trust that they're not going to try to rob or kill you. Like, that's kind of, that's the lowest bare minimum for high trust is you can basically trust that the people around you in your community are not going to try to rob or kill you. They're helpful. They're nice. They're polite. And they're just good people having community. It's kind of it. And in order to have that kind of community, it's not good enough to, well, 51% of people are trustworthy or 60%. Like if even 3% of the people in your community are dysfunctional, thieving, low-class scumbags, it ruins the whole thing. 3% ruins the whole thing. 2% ruins it.
Starting point is 00:50:01 1% ruins it. If you have a high trust community, if you have a high trust neighborhood, and some people move out, some people move in, and now 1% of the people in your community are these kinds of people, it ruins the whole thing.
Starting point is 00:50:19 It drags, it destroys the entire thing. You go because of 1% from high trust to low trust. Because it only takes 1%. That 1% means you can't have your farm stamp. It means maybe the neighborhood block parties and barbecues are, maybe you can't do those anymore because of the kinds of people that show up to them. Halloween, those sorts of things, start looking a little bit different. It means you have to lock your doors.
Starting point is 00:50:51 Stop leaving your keys in the car. You have to walk around every day, constantly taking into account the kinds of dangers that you never even had to consider before. So it doesn't take much. And that's the point. And this relates, that's the point about when we talk about migration is it doesn't, this is why we talk about cutting off immigration from the third world. It doesn't take much.
Starting point is 00:51:22 We say, you know, import the third world, become the third world. It's not like, well, you become the third world once there's 55% of, people in the community who are third worlders. That process starts, that transition starts much sooner than that.

Starting point is 00:52:32 This episode is sponsored by Vandy Crisps. Did you know that chips and fries were traditionally cooked in tallow until the 1990s when major food corporations made the switch to cheaper processed seed oils? These seed oils now account for about 20% of the average Americans' daily caloric intake. And emerging research suggests they may be contributing to metabolic dysfunction and increase inflammation throughout the body. That's where Vandy Crisps comes in. They actually decided to do something about this mess by creating potato chips.

Starting point is 00:54:04 White House Chief of Staff, Susie Wiles, has disputed portions of a Vanity Fair article in which she paints an unflattering picture of the Trump administration and many of its top officials. In the interview, Wiles described Donald Trump as having an alcoholic's personality and Vice President J.D. Vance as having been a conspiracy theorist
Starting point is 00:54:20 for a decade. In a post on X, Wiles said the Vanity Fair disregarded significant context to create an overwhelmingly chaotic and negative narrative about the administration. And other White House officials have come out and disputed this Vanity Fair article, which you've probably heard about. This was a featured various members of Trump's inner circle, including Susie Wiles. And now that they're all coming out and saying that they've been taken out of context. It was a hit piece and all that. Which, yeah, of course it was a hit piece. Of course you were taken out of context. What did you think was going to
Starting point is 00:54:56 to happen. What did you actually think? When you sit down for multiple interviews with Vanity Fair, what do you think they're doing? They also all got their pictures taken and the pictures look terrible, which, you know, they're like these super close up photos of their faces. Anyone looks bad. Super close up. It's almost, they look like their faces fill the whole frame, looks like SpongeBob Squarepants or something. And now it seems like people in the White House, are shocked by this, and I'm just really tired of these Republicans offering themselves up like this. Why would any Republican do a print interview with a mainstream publication at this point, much less a series of interviews over the course of weeks and months?
Starting point is 00:55:46 Why would you do it? And the Trump White House is especially prone to this. Like they're constantly pushing back against these out-of-context quotes for print interviews. why are you doing them? What's the plan? What is the, what's the win? So you should always be asking yourself, one of the most basic things in politics. What is the win? How do you win here? Here's the potential win. Here's how this could potentially, here's the loss, here's the L that we could take. Here's how it could go awry. Is there a much more significant chance of the loss than the win? And if you do end up with a loss, will it hurt you more than the win would help you?
Starting point is 00:56:24 and if the answer is yes to all those questions, don't do whatever it is you're thinking about doing. I'm not a politician. I'm not any kind of high-level political operative, and yet I know to never do print interviews unless it's on a very specific, limited, narrow subject. Or if I'm promoting something and we got a movie coming out, and I figure, well, even if they do a hit piece,
Starting point is 00:56:49 they're still serving my agenda by promoting the movie or whatever. So, hey, let them go ahead and do it. But that second thing doesn't apply to the White House. It doesn't apply to the White House chief of staff or anybody else in the White House. I mean, when you're a podcast or a commentator or filmmaker and you're promoting something, it's true that for the most part, any press is good press, almost any press. But when you're in the White House, when you're a politician or political official, that is not the case. Any press is not good press.
Starting point is 00:57:20 And more importantly, we just don't have time for it. We don't have time for this. you should have more important things to do than talk to Vanity Fair. And what really annoys me is that I'm sure the reason they did the interview is because they're not stupid. So they would have known. We could joke about how, well, how did you not know? Well, no, of course, of course they know that it could end up being a hit piece. It almost certainly will end up being a hit piece.
Starting point is 00:57:47 So I can only assume that the plan is, well, if we get attacked from Vanity Fair, then that will help rally the base around us. So it's that kind of play. But we're really tired of rallying around the negatives, right? We want to rally around the positives. Like, rallying around because we're being attacked or lied about or unfair things are happening, we're just tired of that. We want to rally around the winds. We want to rally around victory.
Starting point is 00:58:19 Okay, we want to rally around the smoldering ruins of our enemies. Metaphorically speaking. Metaphorically, the metaphorical smoldering ruins. Okay, we want a victory party. not a pity party. That's what we're looking for. And that's where that's where the base is right now. Which is why this whole thing, mainstream media is unfairly attacking us. Like, yeah, of course they are. What do you? I'm at, I've long been at the point where my answer to that is, okay, so, what do you want me to be outraged by that? I mean, this is so, this is part of the, it's like being
Starting point is 00:58:57 outraged by oxygen. It's part of the atmosphere. What do you expect? So I'm going to be more pissed off at you for playing right into their hands or giving them something easy to hit you with. And that's what's happening. America's approaching its 250th birthday. It should be a time of celebration. But you know that only 41% of Gen Z say they're proud to be American. Why is that number not 100% as it should be? We need to fix that and fast.
Starting point is 00:59:26 And thankfully, there is no organization better position to educate young people about the true history of this country than Prager You. For years, young Americans have been fed a steady diet of misinformation, taught to believe this country is racist, sexist, bigoted. Prager You is correcting the record. They tell the whole story, the good and the bad, but always with accuracy and appreciation for the Patriots who sacrificed everything to create the greatest country in human history. Through powerful storytelling, engaging videos, and family-friendly resources, Prager You is reaching the next generation. Millions of young people are finally hearing a message that inspires pride, not shame. And here's something you need to know. While plenty of nonprofits line up for government money, Prager You refused it, even when partnering with the White House.
Starting point is 01:00:07 They won't let the government fund their message, and that's why they rely on patriotic Americans like you. I've worked with Prager You. I've seen what they do.

Daily Wire reports the House on Wednesday approved a bill that would prohibit doctors across the country from performing transgender surgeries or minors or giving gender-confused kids puberty blockers or cross-sex hormones.
Starting point is 01:00:42 The legislation is introduced by outgoing Representative Marjorie Taylor Green passed 216 to 211. Under Green's proposal, doctors who provide transgender procedures to children could face steep fines or up to 10 years in prison. And there were a few Democrats, I think, like three or four that voted for this. maybe fewer, and then a few Republicans who voted against it. So great news overall. Shouldn't have taken, should not have taken a year to get done, but we're not going to harp on that. It's done, but it's not done. I mean, now it's past the House, but that's a huge step.
Starting point is 01:01:17 And the fact that almost every Democrat voted against it voted in favor of child mutilation should be an eternal shame for them if they were capable of shame, which they aren't. And speaking of shameless, quote unquote, trans-representative. quote-unquote Sarah McBride was not happy about this, and here's what he had to say. I get it's hard to understand what it feels like to be trans. I get that it is hard to understand what it feels like to be me. I get that it's hard to understand this care
Starting point is 01:01:50 and understand the need for it. But one of the things that gets so lost in this conversation is that the transgender adults of today were kids once. I was a kid once. I didn't have the courage to come out until I was 21. But it's a fact I have known about myself for my entire life. I didn't have the courage to come out until I was 21,
Starting point is 01:02:20 and that means 21 years of pain. 21 years of unwavering homesickness that only went away when I was able to get the care that I needed. And my biggest regret in life is that I never had a childhood without that pain. I marvel at the courage of transgender young people today
Starting point is 01:02:48 who are sharing themselves with their families and this world despite the toxicity and the hate that too often emanates from the building behind me and from politicians within it. All any of us want is to live a life of purpose and happiness and wholeness. None of us know how long we have. None of us know how much time we have on this planet. It is already hard enough to raise a family.
Starting point is 01:03:19 It is already hard enough to be a kid. Yes, none of us know how long we have. So we have to butcher and mutilate children as often as we can while we're still here. I mean, that's the argument he's making. He just gave a, like, a YOLO argument for child castration. It's the most perverse argument. There's no good argument for it. Every argument will, by its nature, be perverse because you're arguing for a perverse thing.
Starting point is 01:03:47 But of all the potential options, you only live once. Hey, we're not here for long, man. We only got one life. So, you know, mutilate as many minors as you can today. Tomorrow is not promised. So do all the castrations you can today. That was his impassioned plea. And it's funny because these people are congenital liars.
Starting point is 01:04:15 They lie about everything. They lie about the most fundamental things. Every time McBride leaves his house, every time he introduces himself, he's lying. So it all kind of blurs together. And I don't think he even notices the lies anymore. But he says that he came out, came out when he was 21. Which means that he spent 21 years in pain, he says. 21 years in pain.
Starting point is 01:04:42 Really? Really? McBride, you were, so you were in 21 years? So you were in pain because of your gender dysphoria when you were two? You were a toddler in diapers and yet were in a state of emotional torment because nobody recognized your true inner female self. Is that your claim? Now, the pain he talks about is the pain of not being able to cross-dress in public and live out his fantasies in front of unsuspecting strangers.
Starting point is 01:05:11 And that is a pain that he was not experiencing when he was a child. It's a thing that he decided that he wanted to start doing. And a fantasy he decided he wanted to live out. And regardless, notice how he, of course, does not address any of the arguments. You know, it doesn't make the case for chemically castrating children. There's no argument there, obviously. That's why most Democrats are running as far away from this issue as they can. I mean, they voted as their party requires them to vote, which is in favor of butchering children.
Starting point is 01:05:52 I mean, Democrats really have never met a form of child butchery that they don't support. They're big fans of all of it. gender mutilation procedures, abortion, eventually euthanasia. They'll be in favor of that. They already are in favor of that. So they voted as their party requires them, as their ideology dictates. But most of them are not out in front of cameras like McBride here talking about it because they, this is embarrassing for them. And they know they have no argument.
Starting point is 01:06:35 There's no argument to be made. So this is a discussion they just don't want to have. And all that we hear from McBride is, but you don't know what it feels like to be me. You don't know what that feels like. So they go right to the emotional argument. It's all they have. When even that, obviously.
Starting point is 01:07:00 So they don't have the facts. They don't have common sense. They certainly don't have the science. They don't have any of that. All they have are the emotional arguments. But they don't even, they don't win the emotional argument either. It's like any, any, any field you want to play on for this issue, you will lose.
Starting point is 01:07:21 So I don't even have to try to combat your emotions with facts and logic, although we can do that. But you lose the emotional argument too. Because like, oh, we don't know what it feels like to be you. Yeah, well, I don't want to know. Okay. No one knows what it feels like to be another person. I debt, I've never been inside your mind. I don't want to be there.
Starting point is 01:07:39 that seems like a horrifying place to be. I wouldn't want to spend one second there, so I'll concede that. But you don't know what it's like to be a person, an adult, who had this Frankenstein butchery done to them as a child and now has to live with it as a prisoner in your own body for the rest of your life. permanently damaged, permanently mutilated. In many cases, not ever able to have kids. Like some of the most basic things necessary
Starting point is 01:08:19 to live a fulfilling life taken from you permanently. And now you have to live with that. And even worse, you have to live with it under the guise, the lie, that it was your choice, that you're living with the consequences of your own choice, but it was never your choice because you were a child. and you were not able to consent to this and it was done to you. And so on top of all that, you're being, in a real sense, victim blamed.
Starting point is 01:08:50 So, yeah, you don't know what that's like. And I feel, I don't know, about a billion times more sympathy for the people in that position than I do for you. For you when you cry about, oh, I want to be able to wear a dress in public. Like, don't you feel so sorry for me? If I can't wear a dress, no, I don't feel sorry for you at all. Not in the slightest bit. I feel very sorry for all these kids that you and people like you have harmed in unspeakable ways. So, all right.
Starting point is 01:09:28 Well, that is the last show of the year. We'll have some content for you over the next couple of weeks. Some original content will be posting, so tune in for that. But there won't be another show until the other side of the new year. and it has been an awful year in many ways. A lot of good things happen, but also awful too. It started with high hopes. I was thinking this morning about the TPPSA inaugural ball in D.C.
Starting point is 01:09:59 Back in January. And I was there in excitement, triumph, celebration, unity, on the right. anyway. Walking around D.C. after the, not just even at going all the different inaugural events. Usually not my speed, not my kind of thing to go to a ball,
Starting point is 01:10:20 you know, but wanted to be there for this because I knew that it was historic and I was glad that I went. Even just walking around D.C., the whole city shut down, and it's nothing but conservatives there. Conservatives took over D.C. And everywhere you walked,
Starting point is 01:10:33 it was just like, it was us. And everybody was getting along and everybody was happy. And you compare that to now, the entire landscape has changed. And not for the better, with the biggest difference, of course, being the absence of our leader
Starting point is 01:10:51 and our friend Charlie. So, you know, that's, and the year kind of closes on that note. But we're coming up to a new year. The fight continues. I haven't given up. Never will. I can't.
Starting point is 01:11:08 There's too much at stake. And that's all there is to it. So, have a Merry Christmas. Enjoy your time with your family. It's come back ready to work. There's a lot of work to be done. So see you next year. Godspeed.
Starting point is 01:11:33 All of this is an illusion, an echo of a voice that has died, and soon that echo will cease. They say that Merlin is mad. They say he was a king endeavored. The son of a princess of lost Atlantis. They say the future and the past are known to him. That the fire and the wind tell him their secrets.
Starting point is 01:12:15 The magic of the hill folk and druids come forth at his easy command. They say he slew hundreds. Hundreds do you hear that the world burned and trembled at his wrath. And died long before you and our... I were born. Merlin Emress has returned to the land of the living. Fortigan is gone. Rome is gone.
Starting point is 01:12:48 The Saxon is here. Saxon, Hengist has assembled the greatest war host ever seen in the island of the mighty. And before the summer is through, he means to take the throne. And he will have it. If we are too busy squabbling amongst ourselves to take up arms against him, against him. Here is your hope. A king will arise to hold all Britain in his hand. A high king. It will be the wonder of the world. You. To a future of peace.
Starting point is 01:13:21 There'll be no peace in these lands till we are all dust. Men of the island of the mighty. You stand together. You stand as Britons. You stand as worn. The great darkness is forming up. These brothers are all. These brothers are our only hope to stand against it. Not our only hope. S.A. Mervyn slew 70 men with his own hands. I could say he slew 500.
