Today, the Matt Wall Show, the NFL delivers a huge middle finger to the fans with the most subversive and anti-American half-American performance we've ever seen, all performed in a language that the vast majority of football fans can't understand. Speaking of anti-American nonsense, multiple Olympic athletes have apologized for America on the world stage. Should we even be rooting for these people at this point? And TPA USA counterprograms the Super Bowl with a halftime show of their own, which is now one of the biggest streams in history. Really massive news there. We'll talk about all that and more today at the Matt Wall Show.

Well, it's been seven years and counting since the NFL allowed a white person to headline the Super Bowl halftime show. And when you're talking about a sport where the fan base is roughly 70% white, there's only one way to understand that decision. It is a deliberate effort by the NFL and Jay-Z, whose company Rock Nation, has run the halftime shows in 2019, to exclude white people from participating in the single most watched musical performance of the year. Now, in previous decades, you'd have Prince perform one year and then Tom Petty the next. You'd have Aerosmith and the Who, and then you'd have the black-eyed piece. But starting precisely the same year that Jay-Z took over the halftime show in 2019, whites have been banned from headlining, and they've been replaced in many cases by non-white rappers who can barely speak English.

Of course, they sexualize the whole thing, and in general, they reduce what used to be a significant American cultural event. to a trashy unwatchable display. And in fact, since 2019, over seven years, there's only been one white headliner in that time, and that was Eminem who performed alongside Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg and Kendrick Lamar and a bunch of other black artists. Aside from that, there have been zero white headliners at the Super Bowl since 2019.

Now, in some of these performances, they're fairly explicit about their goal. We're not talking about subtle messaging. In fact, with each passing year, the subtlety has increasingly gone out the window. They did the Hamilton thing last year when they trotted out Samuel L. Jackson to play Uncle Sam. And they beat you over the head with that message that, you know, of course, white Americans are keeping blacks down and all that kind of stuff. Every few minutes, Samuel Jackson would just appear on screen to really subvert your expectations. But even with this recent history in mind, No NFL Super Bowl halftime show to this point has been anywhere near as overt or as disgraceful as the gigantic middle finger to all Americans that aired last night. The NFL chose to conduct the halftime show for the biggest game of the year in a language that almost none of their lifelong fans can understand while waving the flags of countries that none of them are from or have been to. It was, without exaggeration, the biggest FU that I've ever seen a corporation give to its own consumers. It was pretty amazing in that sense. Watch.

Now, I notice they don't even provide subtitles, just to really make the experience as uncomfortable and unintelligible as possible for 99% of their audience. Although, in fairness to them, if they did give us the lyrics, we would see how retarded the lyrics are. so they didn't exactly want to put that front and center. So while you're watching a production that's all about glorifying third world aesthetics, complete with two men grinding on each other next to a pickup truck at one point, you also have no idea what anyone's even saying. So that was the idea. Again, in addition to being disgusting,

it is a massive middle finger to the NFL's actual audience. But in the particular clip we just played, even without subtitles, the meaning is pretty clear. Bad Bunny is paying homage to several South and Central American countries and all of their many citizens who have illegally entered the United States, which raises the question, how often does this kind of thing happen in reverse? Like, if you had to guess, how many soccer matches in these countries, El Salvador, Venezuela, Peru, and so on, have featured extended English language tributes to the United States during their halftime shows.

How often do South Americans devote airtime during their biggest sporting events to thanking the United States for providing somewhere for them to flee to? How often do they insult their own people by bombarding them with unintelligible propaganda on behalf of foreign invaders? Now, the answer is that it never happens, ever.

This is the kind of thing you only see here in this country. Nor should it happen. No self-respecting country subjects its own people to these humiliation rituals, which is what that halftime show was. People who have self-respect take pride in their own nation and their own flag, especially at their most iconic cultural event, which is what the Super Bowl is. Meanwhile, people who are conquered take pride in other nations. and other flags. And speaking of flags, in case you missed it, in the back, there was a banner that read as follows.

The only thing more powerful than hate is love. Now, the implication, of course, is that if you don't want the Super Bowl halftime show to be conducted in a foreign language, and if you don't want to watch gay men grinding on each other when you're trying to see a football game with your family, then you're a hateful person. You know, you're part of the problem. The people telling you this, the people who put that banner up and who organized this halftime show in the first place, have no shame whatsoever. I mean, they've been on a mission to exclude whites from the halftime show for seven years. They've supported a political party that exists at this point to replace whites at a demographic level.

And now they're literally spiking the football to celebrate what they've accomplished. But in the same breath, while they're doing all this and being as explicit about it as they possibly can, they tell you that you're the hateful one. If you object, if you even fail to stand and applaud your own replacement, to applaud as your cultural events, your iconic cultural events, are taken over and subverted and used to celebrate cultures that, by the way, have nothing to do with football whatsoever. That's the other thing.

Latin Americans have nothing to do with the NFL. Historically, they've contributed nothing to the NFL. And even today, even today, there's a record number of Hispanics in the NFL. You know how many that is? 32 on active rosters in the past year in 2025. That's an average of one per team. And yet we're going to devote, we're going to take the biggest football game of the year to devote the entire halftime show to celebrating this culture,

Why? I mean, why not have a halftime show devoted to 20 minutes to celebrating, you know, Vietnam or Norway or just any other random country that has nothing to do with football at all? But you see, only Peruvians and Mexicans and Venezuelans are allowed to have national pride. If you have any national pride, then you're a horrible person. Now, to be clear, no one in the NFL's audience actually appreciates this messaging or buys into it or in enjoys it. Certainly no one thinks that Bad Bunny actually produces real music. And illustrate that point, here's footage from inside the stadium during this halftime show. Look how enthralled these people are. Watch. It's completely dead. I mean, aside, there's a couple people dancing other than them.

Like, if you just saw that without any context, you would, like, you would think they were attending some sort of candlelight vigil. You would think this was a memorial service or a funeral. People just standing there somberly, quietly, confused by the whole spectacle and certainly not enjoying it. Because despite all the money and hype and heavy-handed messaging, there's no crowd reaction whatsoever. A juggling act would have been better, a lot better. And again, more enjoyable because the other thing about this music, let's just be clear about it, is that it sucks. The music itself, just at an artistic level, is bad. A gay Latin American Hispanic pop music is awful

It all sounds exactly the same If you actually listen You know if you were to get a translation of the lyrics It's like It's even worse Slop than what you would get from You know, an American pop star And that's not great either

But they're just like saying nothing It's just even if you Even if they were doing this in English it would still be gibberish because they're saying nothing it's the same beat, it's the same sound over and over and over again there's no variety, there's no artistry,

there's no substance, there's no meaning at all. It's just bad music, like it's bad. It's one way, every person you see today I'm enjoying all these like middle-aged white people on social media, especially like media people who feel like they have to pretend that they enjoyed the performance.

Gee whiz, you know, that was that. I really enjoyed that. Oh, really? Did you? Yeah, really? You're going to go download some bad bunny on your Spotify? Are you really? You enjoyed it, how?

You thought it was a good performance? No, you didn't. No, you did not. But you think you have to pretend you did because otherwise you're racist. Now, it's not hard to see how we ended up here, being forced-fed slop from the third world at the single most watched sporting event of the year.

After watching the halftime show, here was the reaction from John Kasich, who's the former governor of Ohio. He's also a Republican allegedly, quote, love the halftime show, which celebrates the wonderful Latino culture. Great pick and great show. Bad Bunny hit a grand slam home run. That's a good sports analogy for the Super Bowl. This guy doesn't even know what you could not write a more out-of-touch tweet if you wanted to. I really enjoy the Super Bowl. They really, they really, they hit a grand slam home run. They got, that was a, they, they, they, they, they, that's, they got a third, the three pointer. They, they, they, they, that was a, nothing but net from the, from the, from the

three point line with that halftime show. That's the mainstream view of the establishment wing of the Republican Party and it was our only option before Donald Trump just, you know, just, you know, just these totally spineless, gutless leaders who are deathly afraid of being called racist. You know, you could put latinx hookers up on the screen along with a gun, you know, just, you know, just the who can't sing or speak English and a set that comes complete with a replica of a bodega and an EBT accepted here sign on the 50 yard line. Let's, you know, not making that up.

They actually had that sign as part of the halftime show because they had to include as part of the... This is a tribute to Latin American culture. And so that has to include EBT. Like even in their tribute to their own culture, they're admitting that, oh yeah, you know, like 90% of us are on... welfare. Wellfare is part of our culture. And the Republican elites just lap it up or pretend to

anyway. It's like that image of Jacob Fry pretending to like the garbage Somali food as he nearly chokes to death on it. It's like, it's like that. John Kasich is a big part of the reason why Ohio is currently overrun with migrants from Haiti and Somalia. He thinks their culture is wonderful. He thinks it's great when foreigners flood into small towns like Springfield that can't remotely sustain them. He's happy when they take American jobs and homes. Diversity is our strength. These Republicans will repeat until eventually no one can understand them anymore because no one speaks English. Now this wing of the Republican Party can never be allowed to hold power again. That's because, as the NFL halftime show demonstrated, the left is now done pretending that the

great replacement is a conspiracy theory. They don't think they have to pretend anymore. They believe truly that they've imported enough foreigners already in order to seize control of the United States from Americans. They're under the impression that permanent political control is theirs for the taking. That's the only reason why they put on a halftime show that completely ignores actual Americans makes no effort to speak to them or even be intelligible to them. And it's also why a top Texas lawmaker, the leader of the Democrat caucus in the state, in fact, recently said the quiet part out loud. Really, he screamed to the quiet part out loud. He just came right out and said that, yes, it's time for non-whites to unite against their white oppressors and seize control of the United States.

Here's that lawmaker Gene Wu. This is from an interview that was recently resurfaced on social media by the account endwoken. and good timing also, because like I said, it lines up perfectly with the halftime show we all watched, or maybe you didn't watch wisely enough, but you saw the clips of it. Anyway, here's that Gene Wu. I always tell people the day the Latino, African American, Asian, and other communities realize that they share the same oppressor is the day we start winning. Because we are the majority in this country now.

We have the ability to take over this country and to do what is needed for everyone and to make things fair. But the problem is our communities are divided. They're completely divided. Latino, African-American, Asian, and other communities share the same oppressor, according to Gene Wu. These non-white demographic groups are the majority now, he says, and they can take over the country. Now, he doesn't explicitly mention the word white because he doesn't have to. We all know what we're talking on. In Gene Wu's ideology, which is the ideology of the entire Democrat Party, whites are oppressors. They should be disenfranchised and snuffed out.

Indeed, in Wu's district, whites are already a minority. They represent around 15% of the population, as you can see here, and Wu knows that. And he knows that if he could just unite the non-white population, he can crush those oppressors for good. They're outnumbered just like they are in South Africa. And we know how that's going. So what has Gene Wu been doing on that front? Well, let's take a look. Here is one of his recent appearances.

Watch. We need to be out there. We need to not only support and remember the name of Ms. Good, but we need to remember why she died. She died because she was a proud American. She was a proud American who understood her rights and was free to exercise it. And they took her life for it. And instead of our response being silence, we should be louder than ever.

We should scream in their faces. We should not give them a moment of peace until they give us our nation back. Again, not subtle, not subtle. We should not give them a moment of peace until they give us our nation. back. That's a quote from Gene Wu, whose full name is Eugene Yuanzi Wu. He was born in China. So Gene Yuwanzi Wu from China is saying, give us our nation back. Who is our? Wu. What do you mean our nation? Well, he despises white people, whom he views as oppressors. he's not an American by any reasonable definition of the word

but to Gene Wu white people are guests we are the guests in his nation he comes here from China and gets here and says this is my country you guys are you guys are in my home now you better play by my rules

we're the oppressors who really shouldn't be here so who is Eugene Yuanzi Wu exactly well here's a little recent history. In July of 2020, the first Trump administration abruptly ordered the closure of the Chinese consulate in Houston, Texas. The White House alleged that the consulate was engaged in rampant spying against the United States and gave the consulate a couple of days to shut down. Now, in response, the consulate began burning documents in the courtyard outside of the building. And you're seeing those images right now. It's about as close to an admitted mission of guilt as you can get.

If somebody says, oh, you're a spy and you say, no, I'm not, but let me go burn all these documents real quick. Now, that's pretty clear what's going on. But Gene Wu and his wife, well, they didn't see it. They didn't see it that way. For his part, Wu called the decision to close the consulate madness. He accused the president of the United States of trying to start World War III. Meanwhile, Wu's wife, who works as an anchor at ABC News, took a slightly more honest approach, shockingly enough. she asked, quote, everyone's spies, right?

So basically, who are we to shut down a Chinese spy operation within our borders when the U.S. spies on China? Now, it's a perfectly reasonable question to ask if you don't care about the interests of the United States. And indeed, Wu was given that impression quite an awful lot. To give just one more recent example, he also accused Trump of being a racist after he blamed, blamed China for COVID. which obviously China was indeed responsible for COVID. For China, you know, it's obvious why this strategy is appealing. For many years, most notably during the BLM riots, China has attempted to stoke racial hatred in the U.S.

as a way of weakening and dividing our country. So it makes sense for China and Chinese-born communists who now hold elected office in the U.S. to make an effort to unite foreigners against whites, against the native inhabitants of the country. they have every interest in boosting the broader objective of the Democrat Party, which is to encourage all-out racial warfare in the United States. What makes this threat more serious than, say, Russians buying some Facebook memes that make fun of Hillary Clinton is that unlike Russia,

China has an army of sympathizers in the United States. One of our two major political parties routinely talks about eliminating whites from the country, as if it's the most natural thing in the world. Here's a clip from one of Don Lemon's shows. But listen to what they say here. Listen. You know, Joe Biden was somewhat of a bridge. He was supposed to be a bridge or a pallet cleanser or somebody who morally and ethically was antithetical to who Donald Trump was. You know, Uncle Joe was the nice guy, older white guy comes in and you want to eat ice cream with him, right? Well, I think what. What that episode in our country's history showed us is that we really need some fumigation, right?

We need an exorcism, for lack of a better term. We need a more aggressive approach to go in and surgically remove the cancer that is the Donald Trump and MAGA movement. Yeah, we need a fumigation of those MAGA Republicans. We need to gas those pests to death. This is how mainstream Democrat commentators talk about half the country, particularly the white people. And you can get away with this if you're talking about whites. This guy appears on CNN all the time. Nobody at CNN has any issue with it.

No Republican anywhere has condemned that clip. Nor has any Republican called out the explicit anti-white messaging of Gene Wu. Ted Cruz came the closest, but other than that, I haven't seen anything. So I'll say that again, no Republican has condemned Gene Wu for calling for non-whites to rise up against whites. No Republican has explicitly said, this is hatred against white people. This is anti-whiteism, and it must be condemned. No Republican, no Republican has said that, not one. This is one of the leading Democrats in the state of Texas going on camera to talk about seizing the country from white Americans, but Republicans can't be bothered. Meanwhile, as you may have seen,

Republicans were outraged, genuinely livid, over the allegation that Donald Trump Trump has supposedly shared a racist meme on truth social, depicting Barack and Michelle Obama as guerrillas in The Lion King. Now, it's a false allegation, as we'll discuss in a moment, but even if the allegation were true, the reaction would still be completely absurd over the top and embarrassing in every way. I mean, we should be past the point in this country where an edgy meme or cartoon, even one that some people think is racist and offensive, is a national crisis. But here we are. And here is Tim Scott of South Carolina to start off, quote, praying it was a fake because it's the most racist thing I've seen out of this White House. The president should remove it. Really, Tim, you're praying? You saw a cartoon of Barack Obama as a monkey and you fell to your knees in prayer over it. You're praying. Oh, Lord, save us. Save us from the memes. Lord, Lord. I find that hard to believe.

Tim, I find it hard to believe you've ever prayed ever in your life, actually. And here's Senator Katie Britt of Alabama, another politician who was floated by the establishment as a potential VP for Trump just a couple of years ago. Quote, this content was rightfully removed, should have never been posted to begin with, and is not who we are as a nation. Well, she's right. You know, the meme is not who we are as a nation. It is a nation, but is any meme who we are as a nation? that seems like kind of a high bar to set for a meme. And then here's Chris Christie on one of the Sunday shows. You know, I talk to friends of mine in my party

who will say to me all the time, look, he's not a good guy, he's kind of crazy, but I like the issues. Here's the thing. What they're discovering now is character is the most important issue. And what the posting of that, video shows is his absolute lack of character. And now what we're seeing is when you don't have character, you can't get the issues done either. Because all these acts of lack of character

by Donald Trump are so distracting from issues like the economy, which the people care about, that he's now underwater on the economy. His lack of character allows him to do the things that ICE is doing, that is so outraging the country. Still makes me laugh when I think about people that were hyping Chris Christie up as this guy that was going to go in, right, and run against Trump and be this pit bull. He's going to take Trump on, right? That's how he's hyping himself up. And then it turns out his version of taking on Trump is just to sit there crying about

how he's mean. He's a mean. This was mean. this was such a mean post oh wow real innovative real innovative approach to taking on Trump I wonder why it didn't work

no guys I'll run against them because I know I got it figured out here's how you take on Trump get it okay listen to this here's what you do you call him mean no one's done that yet so the Lion King meme

which Trump wasn't even aware of was proof that he's a terrible human. And because Trump is a bad guy who posts bad memes, the economy is tanking and his immigration policy isn't working. Even though the stock market just hit an all-time high, the border is closed, we're deporting more illegal aliens than ever before. But still, this is the kind of reasoning

that normal people are subjected to when they tune into the Sunday shows. Chris Christie is paid for these insights. But again, he wasn't the only Republican doing this. Here's Thomas Massey, another Republican, weighing in, listen. But first I want to get your reaction to the news about how the president posted, then deleted this racist video depicting the Obama as apes. He has refused to apologize.

Do you think he should apologize to the Obamas? He should absolutely apologize. He's gone too far. I mean, he's attacked my wife recently online, and I do think there are limits. For a while, it's kind of funny. But once you pass certain guardrails, like attacking a man's spouse or you're going to, you're going to, getting into racist tropes. I think it's somebody at the White House, maybe Susie Wiles, needs to go to the president and just ask him for his phone and maybe ask him just to show

him the tweet before he sends it out. Yeah, or, you know, Massey, another way you could handle that is when you're on a news show and they say, well, just to start off, let me get your reaction to the news. The news about a meme, the president posted. Your response to that could be, no, I thought you said you wanted my reaction to the news. That's not news. Okay, a meme posted, that's not news. That's totally irrelevant. There's nothing to do with anything. So my reaction is stop wasting my time, you moron. Let's talk about something that matters. You could have done that. You could have said that. Rather than giving them exactly what they want, which is the racist trope. This was a racist trope. I condemn it. Now we can keep going.

Here's the latest from an outlet called Christianity Today entitled Trump's racist post deserves outrage. Quote, if evangelical supporters of Trump value the Bible more than their political allegiances, they should be outraged and repulsed and publicly voiced their disapproval over Trump's behavior. Instead of being a prudent leader, our president often models the insecurities of Herod, who went after his perceived opponents by any means necessary. Meanwhile, here's a theologian Russell Moore, racist, deranged, humiliating to our country. The fact that we have decided to pretend that this is normal every day is a moral abomination. Have we any shame?

And every day an entire generation is being told it is Christian to support this. God have mercy on us. I mean, just stop and think about that for a second. Deranged. Have we no shame? God have mercy on us. He's talking about a meme. He's talking about a Lion King video.

I mean, again, if you didn't know any better and you saw that, you would think he was talking about a terrorist attack. That's what you would think. And meanwhile, this guy, Russell Moore has never said a word, not one word ever. He's always speaking of, this Christian leader, brave Christian leader. He's always speaking up against perceived racism against non-whites all the time. White supremacy is very bravely, very boldly, boldly speaking out. He's never said a word, not once ever in his life, about the mainstream, pervasive, explicit, hatred, genocidal hatred of white people on the left. Never said a word about it, not once.

Because he's a coward and a fraud. So there are a lot of conservative politicians and evangelical leaders and commentators who will, you know, bravely and somberly stand up against perceived anti-Black racism or anti-Semitism on the right. But again, these people have never said one single word in their entire lives about the pervasive mainstream anti-white racism on the left. And even when they're confronted with a top Democrat openly saying that he's going to take the country back from those evil white oppressors, they remain silent. They're total frauds, all of them. You know, if Gene Wu had said what he said about white people, said that about black people or Jews. or literally any other group, it would be the biggest story in the country, and he'd be forced to resign by the end of the week.

And we all know it. Anti-whiteism is the most prevalent and destructive and mainstream bigotry in America, and it's not close. And by the way, the context that's missing here, which every major outlet has omitted, is that Trump did not, in fact, share a racist meme. Here's the post that was supposedly so offensive. This is from Trump's truth social. Watch.

I heard that favor Joe Biden. Now, in case it's not obvious, Trump was sharing a video about election fraud that had been posted by somebody else. And then at the end of the minute-long video on election fraud, that somebody else created, a couple of additional videos start playing automatically. This is something that happens on X and other platforms all the time as a way of getting people to watch an endless stream of slop. And briefly, for about a second, the image of Barack and Michelle Obama. pops up on the screen because the Lion King meme video starts automatically playing. In other words, there's no reason to believe that Trump or the staffer who posted this actually saw the Lion King video that pops up at the end of the video, which Trump's account

then reposted. So the clip of Obama as the Obama's as monkeys was included by accident, which if we're being honest, is actually pretty funny. I mean, the fact that it's pretty clear that that was just 10. tagged on at the end accidentally and without context. And like, that's kind of funny. The only logical response to all that is just to laugh at. I mean, it's ridiculous.

The whole thing is ridiculous. But even if Trump or his staff did see the video of Barack and Michelle Obama, they'd have no reason to care. Because the point of that particular video was to depict Democrats, not just the Obamas, as animals in the jungle, in this Lion King environment. So here is the additional. context.

I mean, it's certified boomer bait. That's a video that is made for your uncle who wears jean shorts in the wintertime. Like, that's what it's made. It's made for boomers over the age of, you know, 55 who wear jean shorts in the summer, in the wintertime. They love that stuff. But just in case you don't get the joke, you see, the Democrats aren't actually animals in the Lion King. and Trump isn't actually a lion, but this video imagines them as animals. And if you see a resemblance between the various humans and the various animals,

then that might even contribute to the humor. But even if you don't find it funny, that's fine. I mean, even if you think it's horrifically offensive to see Michelle Obama's face on the image of a gorilla, you can move on with your life. It really doesn't matter. Unlike Gene Wu, who openly wants to exterminate white people, there is nothing in the Lion King parody that represents a threat to anyone or even implies a threat. It's not even really mean-spirited.

It's just goofy. And here's the part Republicans should be able to say. Even if Donald Trump had deliberately shared that snippet from a longer meme because he genuinely thinks that Barack and Michelle Obama look like guerrillas, there's still no reason for a single Republican anywhere in the universe to give a damn about it. The act of distributing a supposedly offensive cartoon does not compare in any way, shape, or form to planning the real-life eradication and fumigation of white people because of their skin color. It doesn't compare to Democrats' open embrace of political assassinations, including the murder of Charlie Kirk, the murder of the United Healthcare CEO, the multiple attempts to execute Donald Trump. These memes, even if they are racist by your definition of the word, don't compare. And this is not one of those, well, both things are bad.

The other thing we're talking about is so much worse that there can't possibly be time in the day to worry about a meme. And, you know, treating a meme like it's a terrorist attack, reacting to it with the same outrage that you might react to a school shooting, is not only absurd but grotesque. But Republicans can't bring themselves to say that. They're fine with Gene Wu advocating for non-whites to rise up against the white oppressors, but they draw the line at AI videos of the Lion King. In other words, in the Republican Party, white people are held to a much higher standard than non-whites. This is civil rights-era thinking, where white liberals would give the benefit of the doubt to so-called minorities on the theory that any dysfunction or racial hatred when expressed by

non-whites was merely a symptom of their oppression. That's why Gene Wu can get up there and say that. He can label an entire race, the oppressors, and say we want to, you know, rule over them. And the white liberal way of thinking is, well, you know, but he's not white. And if he feels that way, then he's allowed to feel that way. And over time, that oppression would wane and equality would be the new normal. That was the idea. So what's going on here is pretty clear.

The Republican establishment wants Trump gone. And for the moment, they're willing to join forces with anti-white Democrats in order to fumigate the America First Movement entirely. So they'll ignore Democrats who call for the eradication of white people. They'll pretend to like the Third World Slop halftime show. They'll ignore the fact that millions of Americans, more than 10 million by my last count, watched the Turning Point USA halftime show. Actually, it's up to 20 million now.

But the important thing to remember is that these Republicans don't represent anyone. They're not equipped to handle the fight that's coming. they're not remotely representative of the majority of the voting public, which put Donald Trump in the White House. Especially after last night, we can have no tolerance for these people in our party or the America First Movement any longer. It could not be any more obvious that a war on white Americans, our culture, our country, language, is now underway. It's very explicit. And it's a war Democrats can only win if we pretend not to notice what they're doing. So let's jettison the easily outraged politicians who claim to lead us, the ones who aren't capable of defending the rights and culture of all Americans, including white Americans.

And let's start noticing. Now let's get to our five headlines. We've tried a lot of coffee over the years. Our sponsor, Seven Weeks Coffee is the one that my wife and I have landed on. I personally love their medium roast. It's very smooth with a sweet, nutty taste perfect for starting the day. but it's not just great coffee. It directly pushes back against the abortion culture.

Seven Weeks Coffee is America's Pro Life Coffee Company on a mission to fund the pro-life movement, one cup of coffee at a time. Why are they called Seven Weeks Coffee? Because at seven weeks, a baby is the size of a coffee beam, and it's the same time a heartbeat is clearly detected on an ultrasound. They've built their business around saving lives by donating 10% of every sale to pregnancy centers and pro-life organizations nationwide. They've now raised over $1.5 million and saved thousands of lives.

Now let's talk about the coffee itself. It's mold-free, pesticide-free, shade-grown, and low acid, and it's organically farmed.

Here's another moment from the Super Bowl, which was, as everyone has pointed out, one of the worst games we've seen in the Super Bowl

on top of everything else. But here's an ad that ran. Well, and I think in general, the Super Bowl ads were pretty lame this year. Based on the ads, I see circulating and getting shared. And, you know, the ones that are circulating now are supposed to be the best ones, but for the most part, they're really bad.

I know that it's pathetically consumerist to wax nostalgic over commercials, but it is true that Super Bowl commercials used to be good. They used to be an event in their own right. And that's gone away now. It's kind of another casualty of the death of the monoculture. It's just not what it used to be. But anyway, here's another ad that ran during the game.

I mean, I saw it online. Some of the headlines about this ad say that the ad ran during the Super Bowl. And then other ads say that it was released on Super Bowl. Sunday, which is not exactly the same thing. So I don't know when it ran. But regardless, this is an ad that they obviously wanted to tie to the game for publicity. It's the Epstein accusers calling for the release of more Epstein files, other than the three million that have already been released. Here it is. After years of being kept apart, we're standing together. Standing, standing together. Because this girl deserves the truth. Because she deserves the truth.

because we all deserve the truth. So they want the truth to come out, they say. They call on Pambody, Bondi, to act. Their mouths are crossed out indicating that they're being silenced. Very dramatic lighting and all that kind of stuff. Well, here's my problem, though. And I'm really getting tired of the theatrics. Because if you want people to know the truth, then tell us the truth.

if you want the names of your abusers to be released, then tell us the names. Just tell us the names. Just come out and tell us the names of the people who abused you. Like you're going through all of this to call on other people to release information that you say you have. So release the information. Now, I support the release of the Epstein Five. You all know that. I want to see all the files released. I'm all for it. I've always been for it.

But it's also obviously the case that what's happening with these accusers is an op. It's a political op, obviously. Because here's what I know. First of all, we didn't hear a word from any of these women when Biden was in office. I pointed this out a million times. It blows my mind that everyone is just a pretending that Biden was not in office, the Democrats did not control the White House, for four years while these files existed. And we didn't hear a word for many of these women. There were four Super Bowls during that time. Why do you put an ad out then? Why did you decide the moment the Democrats left the White House that now is the time when you want justice? Why? Explain that. So, four years of Biden, four years and none of them called for the files to be released, no Democrat did either. None of these Democrats who are now on camera every day say, we want justice for the Epstein victims. Why didn't you say that ever at any point for the last

four years? Why? That is a legitimate question that speaks to your personal motivations, and you should answer it. There's no explanation that I can imagine other than the obvious one, which is politics. And I know there's no innocent explanation or legitimate explanation aside from it's all politics. Because anytime I bring this up,

the only response I get is shrieking and accusing me of defending Epstein. You know, that's if you bring this up and you ask this question, why didn't you guys come out for the last four years? Why aren't you just naming the names that you say you know? The only response you'll get is, you're defending Epstein.

What are you, an Epstein supporter now? Oh, shut up. Shut up. I mean, the dumbest, laziest straw man imaginable. Again, I support the release of the Epstein files. I called for the release many times. I want anyone who abused children. with Epstein or abused children at all to be tried and executed. That's what I want.

So also, I question the motives of these particular women, just as I certainly question the motives of almost all of the Democrat politicians who only just five seconds ago discovered this deep passion for bringing Epstein's associates to justice. I question that. I question motives because I have a brain. And anyone with a brain can see what's happening. And second, once again, these women could just name their abusers. They could do that. They could. They've been in front of cameras constantly. They're taking out ads during the Super Bowl. They could simply just tell us the names. They have the names. They say, well, give us the names, but they refuse to. And at this point, that leaves us with only two possible conclusions.

Either these women are frauds. Now, Epstein certainly had victims, but these women are not among them. They're frauds. That's one explanation, right? The other explanation is worse, and it's that they're telling the truth, and they do know the names of child rapists who are still running around out there, but they refuse to tell us and they've refused to tell us for the last five years

they're allowing these child rapists to run around making them complicit I mean those are your two options and I've heard all the excuses we're told well they can't name names because of NDAs do you understand how dumb you sound when you say that? Anyone who says that?

Well, they can't name the names. There are NDAs. Do you realize how incredibly stupid that is? NDAs do not cover criminal behavior, okay? You cannot enforce an NDA that forbids someone from reporting crimes. That does not happen. It's not possible. Okay.

NDAs are not. are not self-enforcing. You have to go to a court. Okay. What court in the country is going to say to one of these women, yeah, you know, this child rape was happening, but you signed an NDA. You're not supposed to tell anybody. And so, sorry, you owe the child rapist $100 million. What judge is going to come down with that ruling? And I'm as cynical about judges in this country as anybody. So that's not going to happen. Likewise, the truth, if you say, well, they're going to get sued for defamation, the truth is an absolute defense against defamation. You cannot be guilty of defamation for saying the truth. You could say whatever you want about anyone as long as it's true. So, you know, well, and the excuses, well, you know, these women, they'll get sued. And then even if you're, and then even if you're, you know, and the excuse is, well, you know, these women, they'll get sued. and then even if they are telling the truth,

well, now they're caught up in court with some person with unlimited resources. Okay, well, so here's what you're telling me you think will happen. You think that one of these women will come out and say, well, I was raped as a child by fill in the blank, famous person. And that she's telling the truth. But then that famous person will go to court, knowing that it's true, will volunteer to go to court and have discovery where all of these things are now, now they have to come out because now we're in a lawsuit. That's what's going to happen?

And when that does happen, they're going to lose. So that's not going to happen. And even if it did, you know, these women could, they, there's no shortage of people who would gladly fund their legal expenses if they were to come out, name names, and then get sued. I mean, they could put out a GoFundMe and raise enough to cover the whole thing in like 24 hours. And they wouldn't even need to do that. Because on top of it, I should also mention some kind of breaking news here that Elon Musk responded to, I made this point on X yesterday, Elon Musk responded to my post and said that he would personally pay the legal fees of any of these women. So that excuse is out the window. And here's the thing.

All of this is beside the point. it's all beside the point because these women could just give the names to any of their advocates in Congress, most of them very recent advocates, and have the names read out loud on the floor of Congress. And that would legally insulate everybody from getting sued. They couldn't be sued. They cannot be sued for telling something privately to a member of Congress. and the member of Congress can't get sued if they say it on the floor of the house. So they could do that. So there's no excuse.

There is no excuse for why they don't just tell us what they know or have someone in Congress tell us for them. They could do that at any time. There is nothing stopping them. And yet they refuse. So, and that's what I'm just fed up with it. Tell us what you know or stop. Like, tell us what you know. Like, tell us what you know.

Tell us what you know. And if you don't know anything, if this is all a ruse, then shut up. Thanks to Homerser for sponsoring this episode. 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. Regular homeowners insurance doesn't cover every day. repairs like plumbing failures and electrical issues, leaving you on your own to cover the repairs. But now there's another option called HomeServe for as little as $4.99 a month. You've got backup

when things break. 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. HomeServe has a lot of different plans to choose from that cover different things. Just pick a plan, it fits your budget, and when something goes wrong, all you got to do is call HomeServe, and they will handle it. They've been doing this for over 20 years with a network of 2,600 local contractors. HomeServe. Could have been great when my wife and I first bought a house instead of spending hours calling around for quotes and costs. We could have just called HomeServe, and it would have been one call and done. Help protect your home systems and your wallet with HomeServe against cover repairs.

Plan started just $499 a month. Go to homeserve.com to find the right plan for you. That's homeserv.com. Not available everywhere. Most plans range from $499 to $11.99 a month. Your first year. apply on cover repairs. All right. Meanwhile, the Olympics are ongoing, and they're happening right now. I've never been a huge fan of the Olympics. My wife loves the Olympics. She's an Olympic super fan. So she got up at like five in the morning on Sunday to watch the Lindsey Vaughn race,

which Vaughn wiped out in 10 seconds. So, you know, I'll try to get into a little bit. But to me, most of the events are pretty boring. And it's one person after another just doing the same thing, one after another for hours. And it all looks the same to me. I guess I just don't know what I'm watching, I guess. And I came into the room. My wife was figure skating was the event.

Male figure skating, which is the worst of all worlds. And it's just, and I watched two guys. It's funny because I watched, I sat, I watched it for 10 minutes. And so I saw two, whatever they call it, runs. I don't know, what do you call it? Performances. And the first guy goes, and I think he's like from China or something. I think it was a Chinese guy.

And he goes and he just does, it's always the same. Like they do a jump twirl and then they do a twirl where they bend down low when they twirl. So there's the jumping twirl and then not jumping twirl. twirl. And that's every single figure skating move. It's just jump twirl, then a non-jump twirl. And so one guy goes and does his twirling. And the announcers come on and to me it's like, yeah, it looks fine. I don't know. It's better than I can do. It's not very fun to watch, but it's impressive objectively. I mean, I couldn't jump and twirl on ice skates. The announcers come on and explain that it was, like it was terrible. It's the worst performance they've ever seen.

It was stiff. It was bad. It was artless. Then the next guy comes on and does the exact same thing. It looks exactly the same. And the announcers tell us it was the most beautiful, amazing thing they've ever witnessed. So, you know, I don't know. But the real problem with the Olympics this year is that a number of the American athletes hate America.

So that's a slight problem. And so here are some Team USA freestyle skiers apologizing on behalf of America. because, you know, America is committing the sin of enforcing its own laws, God forbid. Watch. I feel heartbroken about what's happened in the United States when, you know, I'm pretty sure you're referencing ICE and some of the protests and things like that. I think that as a country, we need to focus on respecting everybody's rights and making sure that we're treating our citizens as well as anybody with love and respect.

and I hope that when people look at athletes compete in the Olympics, they realize that that's the America that we're trying to represent. It brings up mixed emotions to represent the U.S. right now, I think. It's a little hard. There's obviously a lot going on that I'm not the biggest fan of, and I think a lot of people aren't. If it aligns with my moral values, I feel like I'm representing it. Just because I'm wearing the flag doesn't mean I represent everything that's going on in the U.S.

So yeah, I just kind of want to do it for my friends and my family and the people that support me getting here. I have mixed emotions. We're mixed emotions representing America. You know, on the one hand, America has given me everything that I have and I have the most amazing life. And every good thing I have in my life is because of America. But on the other hand, ice agents look scary with their masks. And it makes my tummy hurt when they arrest Mexican. pedophiles. You know, I got mixed emotions. Mixed emotions. I truly have, I mean, I hope these

people lose. I hope any Olympic athlete complaining about America on the world stage loses and is humiliated. I hope they work their whole life to get to this moment and then fail. That's what I hope. Both of those guys, I don't know who they are. I hope they fail. I hope they lose. I hope they fail. That's what they deserve. You don't deserve. You don't deserve. deserve to be there. Like, how dare you? Disloyalty is beneath contempt. This is snake behavior. This is rodent behavior. No loyalty, no gratitude. And even if there were legitimate reasons to be angry about ice, which there aren't, but even if there were, you don't voice those objections at the Olympics in a different country in front of the world. You just don't do that.

You keep that in-house. I mean, that's like, you're not. I mean, that's like, you don't know, like even if I had reasons to be mad at my family, which I don't, but if I did and I'm out in public and you come up to me in public in front of a crowd and say, hey, Matt, care to share your complaints about your family? I'm going to say, hey, care to kiss my ass? Care to leave me the hell alone, you scumbag? You care to do that? Because whatever issues I may have, if I have issues with my family, I'm not. not going to publicize them. Like that's in-house. That's for us. That is private. And the same goes for my country. That is in-house. So that is a disloyalty, a total lack of gratitude. And it should be

condemned. This is not about free speech. I've heard some people defending this saying, free speech is an American value. Yeah, they have the right to say that. They have the right to be disloyal snakes who go to a foreign country when they're supposed to be representing America, flying our flag. They have the right to do that and then say, I'm kind of ashamed to be flying the flag. They have the right to, and I have the right to say that they are disloyal snakes, and they deserve to lose. These are men of no honor, no integrity. This one is even worse. Here's Amber Glenn, who's a figure skater and apparently a member of the queer community, quote unquote, whatever the hell that's supposed to mean in her.

case. And here's what she had to say. When given the chance to stab her country in the back on the world stage, she was happy to take advantage of it. But here's the way she framed it. Watch. Yeah. It's been a hard time for the community overall under this administration. It isn't the first time that we've had to come together as a community and try and fight for our human rights. And And now especially, it's not just affecting the queer community, but many other communities. And I think that we are able to support each other in a way that we didn't have to before. And because of that, it's made us a lot stronger. I hope I can use my platform and my voice throughout these games to try and encourage people to stay strong in these hard times.

I know that a lot of people say you're just an athlete, like stick to your job, shut up about politics, but politics affect us all. It is something that I will not just be quiet about because it is something that affects us in our everyday lives. So, of course, there are things that I disagree with, but as a community, we are strong and we support each other, and brighter days are ahead of us. hard time for the queer community under this administration she says really amber how so in what way of course none of these reporters followed up on that why is it a hard time for the quote unquote so-called queer community under trump what has trump done to you like in what way has he made your life more difficult because you are queer quote unquote Can you explain?

How does no one follow up and say, oh, why? I mean, what? Oh, it's a hard time for your community. Like, why? Is he targeting you in some way? Is he taking away your rights? Is he, what's happening? Nobody asks that because they know that the answer is nothing is happening to them.

Nothing is happening. You're perfectly fine. You're not being targeted in any way whatsoever. So, but of course we don't get that follow-up. Lent begins next week. So you've probably started thinking about what you're giving up for Lent, chocolate, social media, the usual suspects. But, well, here's the real question.

One of the thing, I had one other headline I wanted to get to, but I kind of, I feel, I also wanted to circle back to this halftime show because there's one other thing that I think is worth mentioning. And I mentioned the TPPUSA show.

And it was a huge success. Like, huge is an understatement. I mean, five million live viewers just on YouTube, I think a little bit more than that. So one of the biggest live streams in the history of the platform out of the, out of the millions of live streams that have been done. This was top two or three.

I think it was the biggest live stream in the history of, you know, for American YouTubers, ever. And then now that the video's up to 20 million views just since last night, and just on one platform. But this was also, this was on Rumble,

this was on Daily Wire, this was on, you know, this was on a bunch of it. I think it was on X. It's a bunch of other platforms. And so, Matt, Massive win. What I, I guess the theme of the show today being fed up, what I'm also fed up with are all of the conservatives nitpicking and countersignaling and complaining. And there's a lot of that going on today after the TPSA show. And I'm so sick of it. I really am. I'm fed up with it. TPSA gets this incredible win.

I mean, they go out and take a big swing. Do you realize how insane this is? Do you realize what, as someone from the outside, I had nothing to do with this whatsoever? So just as an outside observer, okay? This is crazy. Like, what they did was crazy. You're going to counter-program the Super Bowl

and you're going to do it on platforms where there's a scoreboard where we can all see how many viewers you're getting, that's insane. That's the kind of thing that if, I don't know, if they had come to me and told me the plan and said, what do you think? I probably would have said, yeah, it's like, you should go for it. Sounds exciting.

But I might have said, you know, I think that's a, Maybe not. I don't know if you should take that risk because here's the thing, you're calling your shot and you need to hit a grand slam to mix metaphors as John Kasich was to borrow from his playbook. You got to hit a grand slam or it's a failure. Like you need to get not thousands of viewers and not even hundreds of thousands, but millions, tens of millions. You need millions of live viewers and tens of millions of total viewers. Or it's an embarrassment, right? Because you're going up against the Super Bowl. Now, you're not going to get, you know, the Super Bowl averages 120 million viewers, 140 million or whatever globally. You're not going to do that, obviously.

You don't need to. But to make a dent to get a win, you need millions. Like, it needs to be noticeable to the NFL. And they're never going to give us these numbers ever. but like they have to be able to notice that viewership dropped off during the halftime show because people were going over to TPUSA. And again, they're never going to tell us that. But internally, the NFL needs to notice it. If you get a hundred, you know, if you get 500,000 viewers total, that's a, you don't even notice that. It's got to be so big that it

would be noticed internally by the NFL, which I guarantee it was. And, uh, And if you don't get it, then it's an embarrassment. You know? And this is the first big, really big swing they've taken after Charlie was killed. So this is, and they're, you know, it's like, there's a lot at stake. And they went out and did it. I mean, they built an alternative, which is what we say we want. They did more than just complain.

Everyone's complaining about the halftime show. I complained about it. That they're having this anti-American halftime show. It's going to not even be in English. they're bringing in this guy who's not American to perform for a non-American audience. Football is in the American pastime. It's an American institution. And so we're all complaining about.

TPSA says, well, okay, here's one thing we could do. We'll do our own. That'll send a message. And they went up against the big boys and they delivered a big win. I mean, that's, that is, it's crazy. I don't know if it just, I don't know if everyone quite appreciates what it an accomplishment it is. And now I go on X. I mean, there's a lot of conservatives that are happy about it and they're celebrating it, which is great. But I also see a bunch of conservatives whining,

complaining, nitpicking. I didn't like the performer. I wish they got someone other than Kid Rock. First of all, they should have got someone bigger. I know what they should have done differently. They should have had a more famous person. Kid Rock was not. They should have had a bigger pop star. First of all, do you idiots think they didn't think of that? You think it never occurred to them to try to get a big time pop star who's famous, like, you know, relevant right now in the current year? Of course they did. But you're not saying anything. Well, I, you did this, but I think it should have been better. I think it should have been bigger. I think it, I think, I think it should have been, It should have been more, you should have got more famous people.

Oh, wow. Thanks for that insight. That's, thanks for that valuable criticism. No one ever thought of that until you said it. No, I'm sure the people at TPP USA, they thought that Kid Rock is just the biggest artist in, in the world. And like, there's no one bigger. That's what they thought. No, it couldn't be that they're aware of this, but it's really difficult to get someone to agree to something like this.

because you're TPSA, so you're a conservative organization that already rules out most people who are in the entertainment business, and you're going up against the Super Bowl halftime show. It could be a huge embarrassment. So even most artists who might otherwise be tempted, they're looking at this and saying, well, what if we, like, you know, I mean, what if I only get 500,000 viewers? it's going to look like I'm not a big star. That's going to be a reflection of me. And so, you know, they got Kid Rock. They got the biggest fish they could.

And Kid Rock is a big name. He's also, by the way, an actually talented, multifaceted musician. You don't have to like his music, but he is. Like, he is objectively a much more talented musician than bad bunny. Like, by far, not even close. And so they went, they got the biggest name they could. And they, and then it's like, make it as,

big of an event as you can. Because here's the thing. Think long term, which is what they're doing. This is why it's smart. If the gamble pays off, which it did, next year, well, now, you just had one of the biggest streams in history. Like, you put on a show that tens of millions of people are going to see. Well, now, and very smartly, it was not political. So they didn't have, it wasn't a bunch of, like, Democrat bashing and all that kind of stuff. It was just, it was a, it was a show with a huge audience. Well, next year, it's going to be much easier for bigger names to sign on. Because now you have this.

You're like, hey, we got this. They'll end up with a total of what, you know, we'll see. Maybe they end up with a total of 60 million or 50 or 60 million who watched this thing. Well, next year they can go to big, like huge name stars. And they can say, hey, we can get you 50 million viewers. And so here's what happens next year. Either you go out, you have an even bigger show, you get bigger names because now you have a track record. Or maybe the NFL gets the message and they counterprogrammed you by having a bunch of patriotic flag-waving country stars next year for the halftime show.

They could do that. In which case, maybe you still do your event. Maybe you pivot and you turn it into like a yearly music festival that happens around the same. time is the Super Bowl, or maybe you do it in the summer, better weather. That'd probably be smarter. Or maybe you take the win and you say, okay, you know, we push this iconic American brand, the NFL, back away from the brink, away from anti-American propaganda, and we push them towards being pro-America.

Like it's a big, either, three scenarios, all of them are huge wins. And yet you still have these whiners complaining. Actually, I think this wasn't good. Actually, actually, actually this, can I tell you why this actually wasn't good? Can I tell you why this thing that seems like a huge win for our side was actually bad? I'm so tired of that. You useless dorks. Like, go do something.

You go build something. You go create something. All you do is whine. These damn, like, commentators who only ever comment. That's all they ever do. And I say this as a commentator. I realize that. I say this as a commentator.

But I've seen the other side of it. You know, I've seen the other side, too. When we go out and make a film, our last two movies, take a big swing, big risk. Same could, could, could not pay off. It could be bad. Like, it might not work out. You might embarrass yourself. But the same thing happens.

You know, you get right wingers who stick their fingers up and say, well, actually, this is bad. Actually, let me explain why a conservative pundit making a film that debuts top five in the box office is bad. But here's why it's actually a bad thing. anyone on the right who tries to do something other than just sit at a desk and give opinions has experienced this. And it's why we lose. I mean, it really is. We lose because there's no loyalty, there's no camaraderie, there's no sense of common purpose, there's no team spirit at all. And I'm not saying you can't ever criticize someone on your own side. That's not what I'm saying. But if your criticisms are totally pointless and useless, then yeah, you should keep that to yourself.

So that's why the, why TPSA should have got a bigger headliner. They should have done that instead. Why didn't they get Taylor Swift? Well, that you can keep to yourself because that is not a helpful critique, you moron. But if you have something helpful to say, then fine. That's not what happens. You get all these people, and I'm not talking about normal people. I'm talking about influencers, commentators, fellow pundits, media people,

podcast or whatever, who they just immediately get to work to discount the achievement. This is what happens on the right. I'm telling you, as I said, I've seen it on both sides. Someone on the right does something. They take a swing. It works out. And immediately, you've got people on our own side.

The first thing they think to do is to try to explain why actually it's, explain it away. explain it away and then God forbid you take a swing and it doesn't work God forbid God forbid you try something God forbid you say you know what I'm sick of just talking I'm going to go try something we're going to try this might not work we're going to try it

God forbid it doesn't work because then people on your own side they they will oh now it's blood in the water and they're so happy it didn't work and they will use it against you forever these people on your own side. It's pure envy. Pure envy. That's all it is. It's not complicated. TPP USA just had a bigger stream than any of us have ever had. Okay, TPP USA, you take any conservative, pundit, media, whatever, influencer, whatever you want to call this. Well, TPP USA just ate our lunch. Okay. They just annihilated us. Like, they had a bigger stream that I can't even, like I've never even sniffed.

that. I've never come close to it. And I love it. I mean, I think it's great. I'm proud of them. Proud of them. I mean, I did nothing. I'm just proud that they did that. And I'm proud that they did it, especially, you know, given what, to put it mildly, what a, what a year, what a past year it's been that they could show up and have a win like this. I just think it's, I think it's extraordinary. And I'm very happy for them. But, you know, what a, what a year, what a past year it's been. But, you know, you get these, you know, a lot of these other right-wingeres that are just, this is lame. This is bad.

This is actually really bad. No, we should have. No, no, no, no, don't actually do anything. Just tweet about it. That's all we're supposed to be doing. So, just ignore those voices, is what I'm saying. And this is, I think, the TPSA, they started the year. This is a great way to start the year by taking a huge swing.

It could have backfired. It didn't. It was a big win. And like a real David and Goliath type of thing. Like taking on the NFL is amazing. So great way to start the year. I find it inspiring. I'm inspired by it. And this is what it should be about. Like go out and do things. And any conservative that you listen to, that you, anyone that you sit and you listen to us, give our opinions. I mean, there's a place to give opinions. I do it every day. I like to think there's some value. to it. There's some utility to it. I would hope so. It's what I do every day. I care about it. So I believe that there's a value to it. But any of us that you listen to, what you should ask yourself really as someone in the audience is like, what else are you doing? This is great. But are you trying to actually go out there and do anything? Are you trying to create anything? Are you trying to build something? Are you trying to build movements? Are you trying to create entertainment, create art, create events, like get people out there, get them involved. Are you doing any of that at all? And if there's anyone you could point to in this business who's not doing any of that,

then I would say that's someone you don't need to listen to. That's someone with nothing of value to bring to the table, period. And they're not serious. They're not serious about it because they're not putting their skin in the game. And they're not willing to risk getting embarrassed. And that's someone you, we just don't need. I'm not saying they have to be excommunicated from it, but we don't, like, you know, they have nothing of value to bring to the table. So that's what I would say. Congratulations to TPA USA.

We'll leave it at that. And I'll talk to you tomorrow. Have a great day. Godspeed. They told you America invented slavery. They told you the Indians were peaceful. They told you colonialism was evil in that. Joseph McCarthy was a bad guy.

And guess what? They lied. For half a century, generations of American schoolchildren have been taught to hate our history, hate our country, and hate themselves. It's time to set the record straight. And since no one else is going to do it, I will. Who sold us to slaves? What were India and Africa like before Europeans arrived?

What caused white flight? Some of the most well-known stories from American history are designed to demoralize you, Trail of tears, smallpox blanket smith, the red scare, it's all baseless. It's time for a lesson on what they're not teaching in public schools. On the real history of slavery, of colonialism, of the Indians, of America, and the world. It's time for real history with Matt Walsh. Now streaming only on DailyWire Plus.
