Today on The Matt Walsh Show, the city of Los Angeles is going up in flames. The left claims it's a product of climate change, but that's because they don't want to talk about the real cause, which is incompetence, if not outright sabotage, by the Democratic leaders of LA and California. Also, Joe Biden finally admits that he actually may not have been capable of serving a second term. A new study finds that vegans are often depressed and miserable. I don't think I needed a study to tell me that. And a Hollywood actor goes on Bill Maher's podcast and tries to defend sex changes for kids. It doesn't go well for him. All of that and more today on The Matt Walsh Show. Are you feeling the stress about keeping up with New Year's resolutions, work, family, and more?

Normally, when a politician becomes the mayor of a major city, it's because they've supposedly spent their career working in the city and advancing its interests. Eric Adams became the mayor of New York after working in local law enforcement for more than 20 years. So did the mayor of Fresno, a man named Jerry Dyer. Meanwhile, the new mayor of San Francisco, Daniel Lurie, helped ensure that the Bay Area would be the home of the Super Bowl 50 a few years back. So now it's not to say that these are necessarily good politicians. Many of them are not.
But if you look through their careers, at the very least, you'll find that they had an interest in the city and the one that they would later represent as mayor. That's like the lowest of all bars, but at least they clear that. But the current mayor of Los Angeles, Karen Bass, is an exception. She doesn't even clear that bar. If you look at what Karen Bass has been talking about for the past decade, you'll find that by her own admission, she was never especially interested in California. Instead, again and again, she's talked about advancing the interests of Africa. Here's just a small selection of her appearances on African media. Watch.
To say that our reason for coming as the contingent of the Congressional Black Caucus is really part of many commemorations taking place in the United States this year, commemorating the 400th anniversary for the arrival of Africans on the U.S. continent. I was involved in the 70s and 80s in the whole anti-apartheid struggle. Our history on the continent has not always been a great history. And so I think that there's things that we need to rectify. But at the same time, I would never want to tip it in the other direction and say that there's too many problems in Africa or Africa should be able to sustain itself. So let's cut off U.S. funding. There also might be other ways that our country can support the African Union so that they can put some teeth behind that when that type of statement is made. I mean, for example, when the coup in Mali happened and there was the need for troops to come in, you know, the Malians had to call in the French. The African Union wasn't quite ready to intervene, and they certainly did come along.
But I think there's a variety of ways that the United States can help to shore up the infrastructure and capacity of the African Union.
