This is the full, timestamped transcript of "We Infiltrated Private Anti-ICE Groups. This Is What We Found | Ep. 1716", an episode of Matt Walsh published January 13, 2026 (1 h 8 min, about 10,905 words). It mentions 20 people, works and ideas, including ICE, Defend the 612, Anti-ICE Movement, Cooperation Cannon River, MN 350.

What this episode is about

The main topic explores the funding and organizational structure behind anti-ICE movements, revealing insights gleaned from infiltrating private groups associated with these agitators. Additionally, the discussion encompasses the implications of single women having children later in life through IVF and questions surrounding the accuracy of global population estimates, particularly in China.

Key takeaways

  • Grassroots movements can be orchestrated; just because you shout 'freedom' doesn't mean you own the mic.
  • Defend 612's tactics show how language can redefine crime as protection in the echoes of community activism.
  • Soros may still be a boogeyman, but sometimes all it takes is a local council president to light the fire.
  • In the battle against ICE, ironic how 'neighborhood patrol' becomes a euphemism for organized chaos and obstruction.
  • IVF and late motherhood might challenge norms but raise crucial questions: is this progress or another societal juggling act?

Today, the Matt Walsh Show, who are the left-wing radicals showing up all over the country to obstruct, harass, and assault ICE? Where do they come from? How do they organize? Who's funding them? I sent my producers into their groups and their signal chats. To find out the answers, I'll tell you what we discovered. Also, thanks to IVF, a rapidly increasing number of single women are having children in their 40s. Is this a positive development for mankind? And a Chinese dissident says the population of China might be half of what we've been told. In fact, as it turns out, we really don't know the population of any country, including our own. What does that mean? We'll talk about all that and more today in the Matt Wall show.

As we watch the rampant harassment and obstruction of ICE officers throughout the country, but particularly in Minnesota, it's become obvious that someone or some entity is organizing and funding many of these leftist agitators. That's not to say that we should delude ourselves into thinking that there's no grassroots support whatsoever for these anti-ICE riots. Clearly, millions of Americans unfortunately support the open borders agenda. They've embraced every tenant of the anti-American ideology that's taught to children in many schools from kindergarten on up. Can't deny that. They're causing the chaos that we're seeing voluntarily of their own free will. Now, at the same time, the scale of these campaigns to obstruct ICE and their effectiveness does not seem to be organic. Every army needs a general after all. And and that's particularly true when the army mostly consists of overweight, deadeyed

women hooked on SSRIs along with gay men and 68 IQ Somali. So, who is the general of the anti-ICE movement? Exactly. Now, it it'd be cliche to say, "Well, it's George Soros." But seriously, is it George Soros? And whoever it is, what orders is the general giving? What's the command structure here? Now, to answer that question, some of my producers spent the last 48 hours joining so-called ICE resistance and ICE watch groups via Facebook, Signal, and and other platforms. Now, in Minnesota, the largest and most visible of these groups is called Defend the 612 or Defend 612, which is a reference, of course, to the area code of Minneapolis. In a prominent thread on Reddit on um anti-ICE activism, Defend the 612 is one of the top recommended groups that you're supposed to join if you want to assist in this criminal movement. Elected Democrats in Minnesota have also encouraged their constituents to join

this group, including the president of the Minneapolis City Council. Watch. I'm Council President Deleot Payne and I'm on Lowry in Central. We just heard that two legal observers were arrested today. Uh we are seeing increased ICE activity in the neighborhood. Uh and we're asking all of our community members to show up for each other in this moment.

State Senator Doran Clark here. Proud to be at Central and Lowry. We need you. This is now what we do. We stand up. We let our neighbors know that we are here. We are saying no. And we need to be visible and out. So, if you're wondering what to do, get out, go for walks, make sure you are wearing a whistle. Elliot's got one. I'm going to pick mine up now, too. And we're going to do the work. Go to defend612.com to find out how you can get involved and stay safe and stay vigilant.

Now, the top council members of Minneapolis are going to do the work. And they want you to do the work, too, by joining Defend the 612. So, what is Defend the 612 exactly? Well, if you pull up a flyer for the group, you'll see that they're committed to interfering with law enforcement operations, which they call abductions. Put another way, they're committed to committing federal crimes. Now, we'll put one of these flyers up on the screen right now, which we pulled from Facebook. Quote, "Every day, neighbors in Minneapolis are stopping and preventing abductions. join us as we protect each other on our blocks, on our streets, on patrol, at schools, and at local hotels that are housing kidnappers.

So, they're bragging about criminal obstruction over at Defend 612. They're also openly talking about harassing ICE agents in their hotels when they're sleeping. And on top of all that, it's not a very exclusive group. Anyone can become a member, as as those Minnesota politicians indicated. And indeed, upon joining Defense 612, my producers were met with a network of signal groups and websites, including a patrol handbook that offers a series of highly detailed instructions. Now, what's notable about the handbook is that at various points, it explicitly states that members shouldn't violate federal law, but in other sections, the handbook clearly instructs members to indeed engage in criminal activity. So, for example, there's this line from a section encouraging residents to enroll their friends in the resistance. Quote, "If each and every block had a regular schedule of monitors, the abductors

would not be able to operate in our city." Close quote. Well, why might that be? Why would a group of legal monitors prevent ICE from conducting operations? Exactly. You don't really have to fill in the blanks on that one. Uh here's some guidance from a document provided by the same group. This is the uh the paragraph in gray. It says, quote, "For ICE agents sitting in parked cars or driving around, lay on your horn and honk at them or gather as many people as possible to whistle and yell at them to chase them out. You can do this and everyone is doing this. Phillips and Powder Horn, which are neighborhoods in South Minneapolis, do not tolerate masked abductors taking our neighbors.

Form a crowd and be as loud as your commitment is to your people and get them out of here. Well, then there's this section from the patrol manual which offers advice for members on how to call 911 on ICE, effectively by lying to the operator so that they send officers and obstruct ICE. Quote, "Many 911 operators have been trained not to dispatch police officers if the caller mentions that ICE is involved." If you want a police response, it is straightforward to describe what is happening to 911 without saying the word ICE or immigration. For example, there's two armed men in a vehicle. They're getting ready to hurt or attack someone. There's an abduction happening right now.

They're taking her and they have guns. I'm surrounded by three cars. They're waving guns at me and screaming. So, what this is effectively is swatting the ICE officers. This this manual is encouraging members to make up a fictional scenario because what they describe there does not that does not actually describe any ICE operation ever that's ever been that's ever been done. So, they're making up a scenario which isn't happening in order to prompt a law enforcement response with the obvious goal of obstructing ICE and potentially, very potentially getting an ICE officer killed. Again, all of this is very illegal. You cannot do any of this.

Everyone involved in producing and disseminating this manual is involved in a criminal conspiracy to commit federal crimes. And they're very well organized. Take a look at this section of the handbook. Uh it reads, quote, "Ice encounters. What to do when you see these things." Number one, request a plate check in the live call. Dispatch or plate checker will confirm. Now, you hear that and you think dispatch? What are you talking about dispatch? Well, yes. These hopeless dweebs have a dispatch system. So, they'll they'll see a car that in their opinion might be ICE, and they'll call out the license plate number so that someone at home can compare that license plate to their list of suspected ICE vehicles, and if it's a match, they'll flood the area and try to chase uh the car away. Now, in just a few hours, my producer saw several license plates and car makes and models being listed in this chat along with their

current locations, which obviously poses a safety risk to the general public as well as ICE. We have unhinged leftist vigilantes using unverified Excel spreadsheets full of license plate numbers in order to hunt down and pursue and harass law enforcement. They even do the same thing with the airplanes flying overhead. There's a whole signal chat for flight tracking. Now, to give you an idea of how it works and how insane this is, around midnight this morning, the following urgent message came into the Northeasts Southeast rapid response signal chat. quote, "Earl Guile's employees locked in ice agents in parking lot." That's a reference to a restaurant and distillery in Minneapolis. Another user responded, "Numbers description, please." Then came the reply, "All clear at Earl Guile's MPD following up on potential prior ICE activity."

So, the employees barricaded themselves inside thinking ICE was on the way. Uh, that gets circulated around Signal Chat full of these larpers and their dispatchers. And then we learned that actually there's no ICE agents around. The police were called because these these freaks thought that there might be ICE agents, which of course, by the way, is not an issue if the restaurant doesn't employ any illegals. And then a few hours later, another update came in. The workers at Earl Giles wrote, quote, Ad muchas gracias mil gracias which of course my pronunciation was absolutely impeccable and according to Google translate means that they're grateful that the community alerted them to the potential danger and according to common sense it would imply that ICE needs to you know pay another visit to that restaurant pronto. Then there was this remarkable exchange in one of the rapid response groups. Quote, "Highly

suspicious activity, very tinted windows, camped outside Porz Porzana went and parked around the block after idling for a few minutes." Then somebody replies, "I'm at Porzana right now." And someone else chimes in, "Sending the Porzana staff now." Porzana is a steakhouse in Minneapolis. And apparently these losers called them last night because they saw a car with tinted windows that was just parked nearby. That's it. That's the threshold for highly suspicious activity for these lunatics. They're barricading themselves inside restaurants and running across the city because they see a car with tinted windows idling for a few minutes.

It would be entertaining if these people weren't genuinely obviously unhinged. This is mass psychosis. And again, it's well organized. In addition to the dispatch system, the leftists are using a procedure called salute to uh standardize the way that they report ICE activity to the larger group. As you can see here, a salute is an acronym. They want their foot soldiers to report uh with the number of vehicle uh vehicles and agents, what the agents are doing, where they are, what they're wearing, what time they were seen, and what equipment they have. And additionally, according to the salute system, anti-ICE foot soldiers are supposed to specify uh what they want their comrades to do. Normally, they request mob action. That's what my producer saw last night, for example.

Take a look at this screenshot. So, the address is provided. And somebody immediately responds, "We're eight blocks away, heading there now." And somebody states at the same time, "I'm there. MPD has someone pulled over." After a brief bit of panic where they wonder if Minnesota police officers are cooperating with ICE, the communists realize that the situation has nothing to do with immigration enforcement and they disperse. They go off into the night awaiting their next call, awaiting the bat signal so they can swoop in. So, you can probably tell at this point, this is a common theme. They spend half their time accomplishing absolutely nothing. Now, in the rare case where they arrive at a scene that actually involves ICE, these agitators are encouraged to use their whistles as communication devices, and here's that portion of the manual, which translates their whistle language.

So, apparently, if they're blowing in short blasts, like pre pre, then they're saying ice is nearby or lurking. But if they're blowing continuously and the pres are longer, then ICE is currently abducting someone. So, as ciphers go, it's not exactly the Enigma machine, but it's pretty close. By the way, you know you're dealing with criminal geniuses when they need to consult a manual titled How whistles work. Like, I would have thought that whistles are perhaps the most self-explanatory tool explanatory tool to ever be invented. But, but apparently these masterminds need a how-to manual complete with illustrations how whistles work. And there's a picture of a whistle in case you don't know what a whistle looks like.

Now, the other thing my producers noticed, unsurprisingly, is that many of these people in these groups took pains to hide their identity. They frequently changed their names in the signal group. They warned about how ICE can supposedly hack Bluetooth and signal and GPS and everything else. There's a lot of paranoia and delusion in this movement, as well as a clear awareness that they're committing crimes. And while many of these people are are ultimately harmless losers, some of them aren't. Some of them are nut jobs who actually want to start a much larger conflict and they have a chance of succeeding based on what we've seen over the past few days.

That's why it's very important to figure out who is behind this organization defend 612 or defend the 612. Well, a man living in Minnesota named Mitchell Williamson has done a lot of research on this question which my producers have verified and which we will go through now. Here's a topline summary. So defend the 612 is a taxexempt nonprofit that in turn takes a lot of money from other shady nonprofits and even from American taxpayers. So yes, you're you are funding the rioting and the obstruction that's going on right now. And the federal government is allowing this nonprofit to operate without paying taxes, which it shouldn't be allowed to do. I mean, it shouldn't be allowed to operate at all. It should be shut down and everybody involved should be in prison. Let's back up sec a second. uh two till a few days ago. If you wanted to donate to defend the 612, here's what you would see on their

website. If you look at the top, you'll see the words Cooperation Cannon River. That's apparently the name of the real nonprofit that's behind defend the 612. In effect, based on this fundraising page, we can conclude that Cooperation Cannon River is doing business as Defend the 612. Okay. So then what is Cooperation Cannon River? Well, you get the sense that you're not supposed to look into that question because Defend the 612 recently took down their donation page on the website, including any reference to Cooperation Cannon River. Williamson was the first one to point this out, and I verified it using the internet archive. As recently as December of 2025, Defend stated on its website that it was the same thing as Cooperation Can River, and now they've taken down that web page. Now, looking at all this, you know, you start feeling like you're in a real life episode of the chair company, but it's all real. There's a

genuine conspiracy here, and the people behind it are trying to cover their tracks. So, let's take a look at at at the most recent IRS filing from Cooperation Canon River, where they're required by law to explain themselves to some extent. And here's their mission statement. Quote, "The primary mission of Cooperation Canyon Rivers DBA Corporation Northfield is to create social and environmental justice through grassroots organizing and direct democracy in Minnesota. We do this in three key ways. Youth organizing through our program, Young People's Action Coalition, which supports high school and middle school student activists in southern Minnesota and making social change in their schools and communities. Worker cooperative support through training and technical assistance for local green worker cooperatives, particularly in the growing sector of compost collection and compost processing. as well as freerange

poultry production. Climate justice organizing through engaging Minnesota climate activists in the movement for renewable energy and to stop the expansion of fossil fuel infrastructure. We educate and organize communities in opposition to fossil fuel infrastructure expansion while promoting investment in renewable energy in Minnesota. Okay. Well, that's a an inspiring mission statement. It's also not remotely related to what they're currently doing, which is disseminating materials that encourage the residents of Minnesota to commit federal crimes and obstruct ICE agents. They're not they're not doing compost processing or educating anyone about fossil fuel infrastructure expansion or anything else.

Now, somehow they forgot to tell the IRS all about that. you know, when when when they said uh direct democracy and environmental justice, they forgot to tell the IRS that what they really what they really meant by that was harassing ICE agents and driving them away from crime scenes and swatting them and trying to get them killed. But things get worse when you look at who exactly has been donating to this nonprofit. Now, to be clear, we don't know the identities of the vast majority of the donors. That's the benefit of being a 501c3 nonprofit. They don't have to disclose exactly who is financing them.

However, if other taxexempt nonprofits donate to Cooperation Can River, aka Defend the 612, then we can discover that information because those nonprofits are required to file a form 990 where they tell the IRS about their donations. And that's where it gets interesting because it turns out that in recent years to give just two examples, Cooperation Can River has taken money from the Tides Foundation to the tune of $10,000 and a nonprofit called MN 350 to the tune of more than 75,000. Now, again, my producers pulled the form 9990s uh after they were flagged by Williamson. And here's what they look like. We'll put them on up on the screen right now. So, this is the donation uh from the Tides Foundation to Cooperation Canon River.

And then here's a donation from MN 350 to Cooperation Canon River. And when you look at that, what does it tell us? What does it matter that Defend the 612, one of the lead anti- ice groups in Minnesota, has been taking money from the Tides Foundation and MN 350, whatever that is. Well, turns out that the Tides Foundation takes a lot of money from groups like Open Society Foundations, the Rockerfeller Brothers Fund, and the Ford Foundation. And if those names sound familiar, it's because they're some of the biggest donors to leftwing causes in the world. And Open Society Foundation is George Soros's outfit, which is almost too on the nose.

It's like a right-wing meme at this point to say that Soros is behind everything. But indeed, as a factual matter, Soros's group funds the Tides Foundation, which funds Cooperation Can River, which is otherwise known as Defend the 612, which is currently organizing mass anti anti- ice activity in Minnesota. So, we say that George Soros is behind everything because when you dig to the bottom of it, you discover that, well, he is. But that's not even the most extraordinary data point here. The really amazing contribution to the cooperation Canon River Group, the $75,000 one came from MN 350.

And no one has any idea what MN 350 is, but as Williamson found, it's a nonprofit that takes a lot of money from the state of Minnesota. In fact, they recently received $100,000 from the state government. So, you see where this is going. This is how it works. Taxpayers fund the government of Minnesota. In turn, the government of Minnesota funds a nondescript generic nonprofit called MN350, which promises to save the environment or whatever. And then in turn, MN 350 gives a large sum of money to another random nonprofit, which turns out to be a communist front group. Now, keep in mind, there are probably many, many more donations like this that we don't know about and that we'll probably never know about. And this is just one nonprofit. Here's a Facebook post from another group active in Minneapolis at the moment. It's called GR Rapid Response. They say they've had more than 4,000 people participate in 81

rapid response groups which have quote tailed and boxed in ICE vehicles. So they are again boxing in an ICE vehicle is a serious crime. They are openly admitting to committing crimes. And there are there there are real names attached to many of these posts. In cases where they use aliases, it shouldn't be hard in many cases to get a subpoena. So this is a national scandal that demands an immediate investigation by federal authorities. Fake nonprofits need to be shut down. Anyone disseminating pamphlets that encourage people to commit crimes, like the group Icew Watch, which Renee Good was a member of, should be arrested.

So look at this for for just one example. It's just straight up telling people to pull and push officers away from criminals that they're trying to arrest. These are the materials that are meant to persuade a low-level foot soldier, you know, the lonely lesbian on SSRIs to impede or physically attack ICE officers. And the materials are disseminated by bigger players, including nonprofits that are funded by taxpayers and powerful leftwing organizations. And then if you zoom out even further, all of this criminal activity is enabled by leftist judges who do everything in their power to undermine the Trump administration.

So that is the very welloiled machine that underlies Democrat activism. There's a reason why so many of the judges who have ruled against the Trump administration have names like uh Ma and Frimong and Chuckkin and Reyes. Democrats have installed an army of foreigners to the bench and Democrats are counting on those foreigners to give their foot soldiers some much needed backup which they are. That's the only rational explanation for the lawsuit the state of Minnesota just filed against the federal government. Essentially asking a court to block the executive branch from carrying out its constitutional responsibility, which is enforcing the law.

This isn't so much a lawsuit as a declaration of Minnesota's secession from the union. Minnesota's government no longer believes it's governed by the US Constitution or that the federal government has any authority within its borders. Watch. And we ask that the courts will end the surge of thousands of DHS agents into Minnesota. We ask the courts to end the DHS unlawful behavior in our state, the intimidation, the threats, the violence. We ask the courts to end the tactics on our places of worship, our schools, our courts, our marketplaces, our hospitals, and even funeral homes.

The deployment of thousands of armed mass DHS agents to Minnesota has done our state serious harm. This is in essence a federal invasion of the Twin Cities and Minnesota and it must stop.

This is a lawsuit that under our federal system is an obvious farce. The federal government has the absolute authority to enforce immigration law under article one of the constitution. States cannot interfere with that power because of the supremacy clause of the constitution. This is not a close question. It's also not a federal invasion. It doesn't matter if the residents of Minnesota are offended by immigration law or if ICE gives them the ick. Doesn't matter if the residents of Minnesota tell ICE that they don't want them there. It's not their call.

Immigration enforcement is the domain of the federal government. But there is one element of this lawsuit that I have to admit is extremely entertaining. Let's put it up on the screen. Quote, "Defendants, the federal government, have intentionally violated Minnesota's masking law, which prohibits anyone from concealing their identity by wearing masks in public places. Wearing a mask in violation of Minnesota law is neither necessary nor proper. Defendants's policy and practice of wearing masks so that their agents can conceal their identities is arbitrary, capriccious, and an abuse of discretion."

Yes. Minnesota, a state where the National Guard under Tim Walls forced private citizens to wear masks during the CO lockdowns, is now suing the federal government because ICE agents are wearing masks to protect themselves from leftist freaks. We've come full circle. And on top of that, in this lawsuit, Minnesota is accusing the federal government of acting in an arbitrary fashion. Yes, the federal government is supposedly being arbitrary here, not the state of Minnesota. So, it's totally fine for them to require masks, then sue you for wearing a mask without ever changing the law. That's not arbitrary at all. I mean, if nothing else, you just have to admire the sheer gull and shamelessness on display here. We can be fairly sure based on the current makeup of the Supreme Court that this lawsuit won't go anywhere.

But make no mistake about it, this is why Democrats want to pack the Supreme Court. They want judges to rubber stamp their stamp their efforts to dismantle the federal system that our founders created. They want to destroy the constitutional order. That's what these anti-CE protests are really about. Now, Trump's first term, they pretended to care about kids in cages and child separation. Now, they don't even have a pretext. They're just mad about the fact that laws are being enforced. That's it. This is not an anti-ICE movement really.

It's an anti-American movement and it's very well organized and funded. So, what's needed now, which the administration seems to understand, is far more aggressive enforcement action. Don't just double the number of ICE officers on the street. Go after the organizers. Go after anyone who's funding them. After a certain point, once the checks dry up, the cars are impounded, the agitators are sent to prison, it will end. Yes, they're wellunded. They're highly committed to their cause. But they're also very careless.

They don't expect anyone to pursue them, which is why my producers were able to gain access to all of their groups. It's time to use their narcissism and naive against them and to begin the crackdown on leftwing terror cells that we've all been waiting for ever since September 10th.

Pure Talk, America's wireless company. Before we get into other headlines, I should mention that if you hadn't heard already, the great Scott Adams died today. Uh he of course had been diagnosed with cancer a while ago. He was very he was very open about it in his final months. And I didn't know Scott personally, so I'll let people who did know him, uh, who were his friends be the ones to offer the the eulogy he deserves. But I did know Scott's work, as many people did. And based on that, I can say that he was one of the most insightful unique interesting, thoughtful thinkers in the country today. He was his own man. He was his own guy. And especially in a world now of just constant uninspired, loweffort slop, uh Scott Adams was was doing something actually useful and interesting and and often quite fascinating. Um and he deserves to be remembered for that and he will be an impact on a lot of people's lives.

And I think it should also be said and it probably won't be said enough and and and probably that's fair because you want to focus on his life the way he lived and which we should. But also I think it should be said that Scott Adams died well. He lived well and he died well. Um and maybe that sounds strange to people these days when you say someone died well uh to our ancestors. That's a kind of thing that would not be strange to say. Um, but these days we we we don't think of things that way. And also that the truth is that most people don't die. Well, I mean, that's the really uh dark truth is that most people die sort of begging and pleading and in a state of denial and self-pity or or else drugged out of their minds and and and you know, not knowing what's going on. I don't judge anyone for that. I mean, I might die that way, too. I hope not.

But, uh it it's not the kind of thing that we want to assume. Scott though died with clarity and courage, honesty. Uh he was not clinging on to, you know, some faint hope of of recovery. I mean, obviously he wanted to recover, but uh you know, if you watched his his what he was saying publicly towards the end, he was very honest about it, like I'm not going to get better. This is happening. I probably have days left to live. He didn't speak in euphemisms about the situation. and he he said flat out, you know, that he's dying and he faced it like a man and he spent his final days trying to impart his last bits of wisdom uh to the world and I think that was his final service to the world and and you know perhaps certainly one of his most important services and u I think it's worth pointing that out. So rest in peace to Scott Adams. Looking good should not feel like a chore, which is why our

The postmillennial says, "A growing number of women in the United States are becoming single mothers by choice in their 40s. A tend uh a trend driven by the widespread use of invitro fertilization. According to NPR, 44% of women in the US today are single. Many American women spend their 20s and 30s focus on education, their careers. Uh IVF has become more popular. Government data showed the number of unmarried women in their 40s giving birth has increased by 250% over the past 30 years. That is actually shocking. And while some of those women have spouses, uh many do not.

And then the report goes on. It's worth uh reading. But this is, you know, becoming a this is a a trend that is only increasing. And it, you know, this is the kind of story that won't get as much attention as the more dramatic events happening in the world will get. But this is seismic. We are engineering. We are bio-engineering a population of, you know, old parents. We're flipping the natural progression of adulthood on its head and creating this kind of topheavy old population on purpose. Because for all of human history until just now the process was basically the same. Now it may have looked a little different depending on the culture but the process was fundamentally the same right a child becomes an adult gets married uh leaves home and for most of human history it wasn't like leave home and go 500 miles away but just you might be on the same homestead you'll be in the same village

but um go and you know establish yourself a young family establishes itself and they build a life together for themselves and that's the way it And now we've turned that upside down and where the child becomes an adult, maybe at some point leaves home, focuses on career, focuses on self, focuses on, you know, taking nice vacations, focuses on whatever they want to do for the first uh like 20 years of adulthood. And then right at the time when earlier generations were starting to have grandkids, they tried to have their first child.

This would not have even been possible for most of human history. And now it is thanks to the combination of birth control number one and IVF. And this is not a better system. Obviously, like it turns out that our biology, our nature had it right the first time. And it never ceases to amaze me that the people who go and everybody does these days, people go on and on about, right, you want to be um organic, you want natural, right? We don't want chemicals, we don't want any of these things. And yet we don't apply that idea to the fundamental way that we organize our lives because the organic and natural system is for people to have children as young adults, start families.

This was the system for thousands of years. It makes sense. Nature knows what it's doing, which is another way of saying that God knows what he's doing. It's better to have children younger because you are younger and healthier and more energetic and more fit. The younger you have kids, the more kids you can have and the longer you'll be around to help raise and guide the generations uh after your children. So, you know, you have kids in your early 20s, then you'll have grandkids probably in your 40s, great grandkids in your 60s and 70s. you might be around for your great great grandkids and this is ideal u not just for like sentimental reasons.

The point is that in in this system which again is just the way it worked everywhere on the planet for thousands of years. So this is why this kind of thing like we we're doing we're making decisions as a society to do to to dramatically change, you know, the way that that people live. We're severing ourselves from these systems that have been set up over thousands of years. We're coming along and saying, you know what, we're going to do it completely differently. And there's almost no conversation about it. There's almost no reflection.

And um the point of this system, the way that it used to be, is that now kids are raised and guided by multiple generations. That's how it's supposed to be. Again, for most of human history, a child was born to parents who were young and they were raised by those parents with the help of their parents' parents and the parents of their parents' parents. They had their parents and then a a team of wise elders who were also there, also present, also involved. And this is clearly the better way. clearly which is why it was the only way everywhere on earth for thousands of years.

So how is it now? I mean there's still some people that are operating that way but as we move toward more in this direction well now you'll have kids who are born. So think about this. So that's the way it was for almost everyone for almost always. And let's let's think about this the you know these women they get single women IVF in their 40s. Well now you have kids who are born to single mothers in their 40s through IVF. So instead of the child having the support of a mom, a dad, uncles, aunts, siblings, grandparents greatgrandparents and even great great grandparents. Instead of all of that, now they have the mom who isn't even home because she's at the office, no dad, maybe probably no siblings, probably not very many aunts and uncles, if any at all, maybe a grandparent or two who will be very old and will be dead before the child graduates elementary school, probably. And that's it.

So instead of this vast inter intergenerational support system, there's just the mom who cares more about her office job than taking care of her kid. The mom who we're supposed to celebrate because she's a single mom by choice. So it's really bad. And uh it's also why IVF for single women should be banned. Why do we even allow this? We don't have to allow that. Obviously, we should not allow that. And you can't even do the whole it's a life. This is my choice excuse because this is a cho this is a choice that also has an impact on another person which is the child.

So, it shouldn't be allowed. IVF for people in their 40s should be banned. I mean, I don't support IVF at all. I think I think that none of it should be happening. But at a minimum, at the very least, it should not be allowed for unmarried women obviously. Um, it's kind of a transition into this as we're talking about um because of course the other effect of doing things this way, the way that we do it now is that populations decline, which is all part of of the design. So, an interesting clip has gone viral. It's actually from a podcast a few months ago, I think. And in the clip, a Chinese um dissident, this is the Danny Jones podcast, claims that the population of China is much smaller than the official estimates. And I don't know, maybe I guess few people noticed this when this podcast first happened, but now it's that the clip is circulating. People are talking about it. Now, the CCP says that

their population is about 1.4 billion. And this woman believes that it's a fraction of that probably. Listen,

you are ready for the number? Yes. At one point I projected under 400 under 400 million.

What? 500 million. Under 500 million. Under 500 million. Mhm. So you think that they have a very similar population to the United States in China?

Yes. Wow. There's 1 billion people missing. And this goes back to what we were saying in the beginning or earlier in the podcast with all of the fake IDs and all of this stuff being found out.

Yeah. There's possibly one billion people missing. It's not a demographic question, Danny. It's a mathematical question. Let me ask you, it takes a couple to have two children to replace themselves,

right? Think about it. Yes. Yes. Two children. If every if every couple produces two children,

your the population distincts level, right? So, do you know how many children does every woman needs to have in her lifetime in order to triple its population in 50 years?

To triple its population in 50 years, you need to have what? Uh, let me guess. I'm terrible at math. I I I I gave you I'll give you the answer because I ask AI. It's it's a a crazy mathematical.

If I if a country needs to triple or or grow its population by two point two and a half times, let's just say two and a half times,

okay, over a span of 50 years, five kids each woman, you're right, each woman needs to give birth on average between four and a half to five and a half children.

Wow. Okay. Is now China grew its population officially from 1950. That's when the CCP took over to control. Okay. China's population in 1950 was about 500 million. In the year 2000, 50 years later, China's population was about 1.24 1.27 billion. Okay. So it grew two and a half times

right from 500 million to 1.27 billion. That's two and a half times over 50 years. Chinese women did not have on average have five children

because of the one child policy. Yes. Because of the great famine. Because of the great famine tens of million people died because of cultural revolution. So China, you know, from one political movement in another and then to almost four decades of single child policy.

So she raises a good point. How did the population nearly triple in 50 years when during that same time there was famine, not to mention a one child policy? Yeah, it's possible. But what are the chances? And why should we believe it? And this is actually a fascinating question and one that we don't really think about or talk about. We're told that the population of the earth is uh 8 billion people, right? That's the that's the number that we're given that everybody uses. And we get to that that figure thanks largely to the enormous populations of countries like China, India, which also supposedly has over a billion people.

But how do we know those numbers are accurate? And why should we believe they're accurate? And how could we confirm one way or another? I think I believe maybe we talked about this in the past year when it comes to India. And again, India has supposedly has over a billion people. How do we know that? Well, that's what India tells us. How do they know? And why should we believe them? Now, we do have a pretty good idea as I saw someone point out on X, there's another kind of viral post in response to this um pointing out that India's largest cities have a combined population of like 300 million. But then that means that we're supposed to believe that that you know the Indian countryside and the Indian wilderness accounts for like 800 to 900 million more.

Seems implausible. Is it true? Well, we don't know. I don't know. Um, come to think of it, how do we know how many people are living in Africa? No one is conducting a relatable a reliable rather census of of most regions of that continent. Official numbers say that there's like 1.5 billion people in the continent of Africa. Okay, maybe there is, but how do we know? What if there were really 500 million? Would we know? Like, how would we know? What if what if there were four billion? I mean, how how would we know? It could be a third of that or triple. And how would we know? I don't think we really would. And um you only know how many people are in a place obviously if somebody counts them. But if nobody is counting them or nobody reliable is counting them, how do we know? We don't.

And come to think of it, we don't even know the raw population of our own country. We re we we don't know how many people are here like we we we can estimate and we might be wrong by tens of millions. Now we have pretty good census data for the legal population although even that is is questionable for a number of reasons. We really have no idea about the illegal population. We don't know how many illegal aliens are here. They've been telling us it's like 10 or 20 million for the past 30 years. Obviously, it must have grown since then. How much? We don't know.

Are there 30 million illegal aliens here? Are there 60 million? Are there 100 million? We really have no idea. Think about that. That's tens of millions of hypothetical additional people who could be here for all we know or maybe not. Now uh the obvious question is why would any country lie about their population? Now we can see in a lot of countries we can see how they just might not know like they don't have the infrastructure in place to come up with a reliable census. Um you would think a country like China would and does. But why would they lie about it if they are? Well, the answer is even more obvious than the question.

larger populations are more impressive, more imposing, more intimidating. You know, a country of one, like when you're a country of 330 million, as we are, give or take, give or take 100 million, the idea of going to war with a country of like 1.5 billion feels like suicide. Uh, so it's it it makes your country feel more p powerful and imposing in that way. Also, countries that receive foreign aid would seem to have an obvious financial incentive to inflate their numbers. Uh, so there are many benefits of being perceived as having a larger population than you actually do. And meanwhile, the the globalists, the the anti-human left-wing elitists, they have perhaps the most incentive of all because their narrative narrative is that the the world is overpopulated and so we have to give them more power, give up more of our humanity to solve the problem of overpopulation.

But what if global population growth is a lot more modest than what they're saying? Well, that would be highly inconvenient for them. So, I don't know. This is what we're left with. The powers that be in these countries and on the global stage have many reasons and really every reason and every ability to lie about population sizes. They can b they can say basically anything they want and we'll have no way of factecking them. Like China could say they have a population of two billion or 400 million and either way it as far as I'm concerned and you're concerned like okay I maybe no way of knowing no way of verifying that.

So does that mean that they're lying? Not necessarily. It does mean that they could be and we should be skeptical of it. In fact, as I was thinking about this, it's like it's I'm embarrassed because I've been I've been combating the overpopulation myth for a long time, talked about it many times, and I've always made the argument that actually 8 billion people is not too many because this is what they say. We have too many people on Earth, whatever that means, too many. Um, and my argument has always been, well, the population can easily sustain all of us. it could sustain many more.

In fact, you know, there there is hunger and starvation on the planet, but not because we're running out of room or running out of resources. It's because many countries are not allocating or utilizing their resources because these are third world hell holes with no real infrastructure and no uh order and and no, you know, governing authorities uh who are competent. And that's been my argument. And somehow it never even occurred to me that like, well, yeah, also maybe there aren't 8 billion. How do we know that that's even true?

Maybe the real counter to the 8 billion is too many line is, well, we don't have 8 billion in the first place. So, I don't know. You know, you just kind of take the official population numbers as a as a given and maybe there's no reason to do that. So, that's interesting. Um, let's see. Few days ago, there was some controversy in the left-wing fever swamps of the internet when former SNL host Bowen Yang, uh, who is he's the gay Asian one who I guess left the show and he made very, very mildly critical comments about Jasmine Crockett on a podcast. Very mild, basically nothing.

uh I think he said along with his co-host or whoever's on the podcast with him said that uh it would be a waste of money to donate to Jasmine Crockett's campaign. That was it. And there was backlash and they were called racist for the comment somehow and they both folded obviously like right away. They just caved and apologized right away. Within about 12 seconds uh they they collapsed on the floor begging for forgiveness. But it's not enough because it never is of course. And now the race hustlers on Tik Tok are taking turns beating their new punching bags. And I thought that this response was especially funny. Watch this.

It's always a twink with a gaping rose bud in a microphone that has so much to say. But since we are being funny, since the Boys with Podcast decided to turn a black woman's Senate run into a punchline, let me return the favor because it's actually insane. And I'm not talking about quirky insane, not internet cute insane, but structurally violent insane. That Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang thought that it was appropriate to sit on a microphone and tell black people or people in general not to financially support a black woman who is running for office, not critique her platform, not challenge her record, not debate her policies, just don't give her money. That's not comedy. That's not analysis. That is material attempting to starve a black woman's campaign. And then y'all wrap it up in this tired, cowardly ass phrase saying that she's too well-defined. Well, baby, she's not too well defined. What she is is too

unignorable, too competent, and too black in public. She's too woman while being ambitious, too clear about power, and the clarity that scares people who benefit from living in a fog. Because somehow defined only becomes a problem when the candidate is a black woman or a black person in general. White men can be as defined as hell, angry, loud, corrupt, incoherent, indicted, and still get called serious contenders. They can lose five elections and be called building a movement. They can be mediocre forever and still get donors and headlines and grace. But a black woman has to be flawless and frictionless and humble and exceptional and non-threatening and brilliant and warm and soft and strategic and silent and she's still not going to be viable.

Yes. How dare you? How dare you say that about a black woman? How dare you fail to fall down and worship at the feet of a black woman? How dare you? This is We've talked about this before. This is the great fable of the modern left. I mean, they have a lot of fables. It's all It's all fables all the way down. This is perhaps the greatest and the most deranged. It's the fable we hear over and over and over again where black women are somehow criticized and scrutinized more than any other group. They're held to this impossibly high standard and and nothing they do is good enough. even though they're all so smart and beautiful and so wonderful in every imaginable way.

This is what we're told. Black women are held to the highest standard and uh a standard which they can they consistently exceed. They're held to this, you know, the limbo bar is high well, I guess in this case lower, whatever. Forget about limbo. The bar is is higher for them than it is for anyone else. and um and they consistently get over the bar and it's not good enough. This is what we hear. This is the great left-wing fable. And you hear that and it's like, what? What? What world are you living in? What are you talking about? This constant drum beat of how black women are treated in society. It's it's no one is criticized this way.

First of all, black women are never criticized. Black women are basically never criticized. So, not only are they not criticized the most, they're not criticized at all. Ever. Doesn't mean that there aren't criticisms one could make, it just means that they're never criticized. Black women are basically never criticized as a group, right? Like nobody ever singles out black women as a group and condemns or even just criticizes them. And that's not white men are criticized obviously as a group all the time. White women are criticized as a group. Uh even black men are sometimes called out.

They're at least called out by black women sometimes for not being good allies or whatever the hell phrase they would use. But uh black women are just never called out. When have you ever heard that? So for all these people saying, "Oh, everyone treats black women really who can you give me an example?" I I never hear it. And uh again, it's not like there's nothing to criticize here, okay? It's it's it's not like you can't find fodder for criticism. It's just that they never are. And even individually, black women are basically the only group on the planet where you can't criticize any single one of them individually in any context for any reason without being called a bigot.

That doesn't apply to anyone else. Now, sure, if you criticize a black man, depending on who you are, you might get called a racist. That can happen. But it's still possible to criticize a black man without being charged with racism. theoretically, but a black woman, I mean, this is what we've seen. Like there's so many examples of this, so many examples of controversies because public figures criticized in very mild terms um a woman who happened to be black and and then they have to apologize for it because any criticism of any black woman ever for any reason is racist and sexist.

even coming from someone who's not white doesn't matter. So, black women end up with this like halo around them that that really no one else has. I mean, we've talked about now I'm starting to rethink I'm having a little bit of an existential crisis because I'm starting to rethink. We've talked many times about the the victim hierarchy and I've all and I've said that and it changes. I mean, it does change. It's very dynamic. So the victim hierarchy on the left changes and you can't expect that the victim hierarchy today will not be what it is 10 years from now and it's not what it was 10 years ago.

But currently when I' when I've gone through this and I've given my my victim hierarchy 101 lessons and maybe we'll have to do another one, but I've said that it's like when you go through the the rankings of and to get to the uber victim who has the most status and is the most uh unimpeachable and cannot ever be criticized. I've always thought it's like black women are almost at the top, but then above them is LGBT and then above them is trans. Above all the other above LGBT is is the T. And that's the way that it's worked. And I think that it that that there's a there's a reorganizing happening because I I actually think that that that maybe it's black women who are at the very tippy top of the whole thing.

So, and you look at how like Beyonce is treated or Michelle Obama celebrated as these utterly untouchable, perfect goddesses. People talk about Michelle Obama like if she ran for president, she would win. Why? What is impressive about her? There's nothing impressive about this woman at all. The way people have always talked about Beyonce, she's one of the great artists of all. Oh my gosh, Beyonce who has and you watch and you're like, "Yeah, she's dancing." It's like, who? Everyone does that. They can pull up any random pop star and they can do everything this person does. There's nothing impressive here at all. At all.

And we talked yesterday about Amanda Gorman. Flatout embarrassingly bad poet. her poetry isn't good enough to win a a middle school creative writing contest. And yet she is celebrated as the greatest poet of our time simply because she's a black woman. No other reason. That is the only reason. And um no one has it quite that good where you could be so incredibly mediocre and yet be uh hailed as the greatest whatever your pursuit is. You could be just not even me you could be below mediocre and yet be seen as one of the greatest ever to do that particular thing. And that is that is a a benefit, a privilege that is almost exclusive to black women.

We saw this again over the weekend. A black actress won an award at the Golden Globes. And I don't even know who this is. Who is this? Tiana something. She's uh definitely not the first black woman to win a Golden Globe at all. Not even close. But watch her acceptance speech. Listen.

To my brown sisters and little brown girls watching tonight. Our softness is not a liability. Our death is not that is not too much. Our light does not need permission to shine. We belong in every room we walk into. Our voices matter and our dreams deserve space. Thank you so much everybody. Thank you.

Our softness. Yeah, you heard that from the other clip, too. And this is another thing that comes up a lot in the black woman fable is uh our softness. we're we're so meek and mild and you hear that and you think really I that's not the first word that comes to mind. I I don't really um you know I mean black women are are renowned for uh being slow to give their opinions in situations and uh you know Sure. Okay. So, she's acting like she's the first black woman to ever win an award, treating this like some kind of glass ceiling shattering moment because this is what happens anytime a black woman achieves anything. It's it's treated like it's some kind of historic thing.

And this is a group again, it it's not entirely unique among other victim groups on the left. There's there's a there's a there's a measure of this for every victim group, but I think it's the most with the black female victim group in particular where pure unadulterated narcissism is applauded. Like she actually says, "We belong in every room we walk into." Uh what? No, you don't. There are definitely rooms where you might not belong. Okay. If you walk into my living room unannounced, you don't even knock on the door. You just walk in. You don't belong there.

Oh, is it because I'm a black woman? No, it's because you don't live here. I belong in any room I walk into. Think about think about Just think about how I hate always doing the if the situation's a reverse thing, but you can't help it. Think about how this would sound if a white guy said this about white men. Think about how it would sound if a white man got up there. And it wouldn't be any more ridiculous. Like if a white man got up there and treat it like a glass ceiling breaking moment. Of course, that's absurd because like a lot of white men have won these awards, but a lot of black women have too. So, um, so it's it it's it's not any more ridiculous if a if a if, uh, uh, Timothy Shalamé had won and got up there and said to my white brothers, I I just, and he had a, you know, he's like hands are shaking. He has a he has a a message to his to white people that he's written ahead of time and he's

reading it. To to my white brothers, to my white brothers out there, ju just know we belong in every room we walk into. That would be seen as the most racist thing ever uttered in human history. that would go down alongside like the the um the the the the militaristic speeches given by Adolf Hitler. They they would put it in that category. If a white man got up there and said every white man belongs in every room he walks into, that would be they would stone him to death at the Golden Globes. They would descend upon him and rip Timothy. They would rip poor Timothy Shalamé literally to shreds, limb from limb.

His bloody dismembered corpse would be left on the stage and they would dance around it like wild Indians celebrating. That's what would happen. And yet a black woman gets up there and says that and everybody applauds. says the most insanely narcissistic nonsense you've ever heard in your life and everyone goes, "Wow." Yeah. A black woman get up there and say, "We black women are the greatest people who've ever lived. We are superior in every way to anyone who has ever lived. We are better than every single one of you. All of you should die and only we should be alive because our lives matter more than yours and everybody in the crowd. Yes. Amen. All the white people in the crowd.

Absolutely. We are nothing. We're scum compared to you, my goddess, my queen. So anyway, it's a little bit of a little bit of a double standard. That's all I'm trying to say. That's all I'm trying to say. And uh on that note, I think we'll wrap it up. Uh we've given Twitter enough to clip today, so we'll just wrap it up there and talk to you tomorrow. Have a great day. Godspeed.

What was it like, Merlin, to be alone with God? Is that who you think I was alone with?

Madin, I knew your father. I am yet convinced that he was not of this world. All men know of the great Talasin.

You are my father. That the gods should war for my soul. Princess Garis, savior of our people. I know what the bull god offered you. I was offered the same.

And there is a new power at work in the world. I've seen it. A god who sacrifices what he loves for us.

We are each given only one life. Singer. No. And we're given another. I learned of Yazu the Christ. And I have become his follower.

He's waiting on a miracle. And I think you can give him one. Trust in Yazu. He is the only hope for men like us.

Fate of Britain never rests in the hands of the great light. Great light, great darkness. Such things mattered to me then.

What matters to you now, mistress of lies? You, nephew, the sword of a high king. How many lives must be lost before you accept the power you were born to wield? So cling to the promises of a god who has abandoned you.

I cannot take up that sword again. You know what you must do. Great light, forgive me. The time has come to be reborn.
