Today on The Matt Walsh Show, Donald Trump shows what it's like when the United States actually acts like the most powerful nation in the world. With a couple of posts on social media, he forced an entire country to submit. Also, JD Vance does the cable news rounds, and it doesn't go well for the news anchors that he crosses paths with. Trump is accused of cruelty when he pulls security off of Fauci, John Bolton, and other bureaucrats. But why should taxpayers fund their security anyway? New York City considers a new law that seems specifically designed to annoy me personally, and federal government workers are now living in fear under the Trump administration. This is supposed to be a bad thing, according to the media.
We'll talk about all that and more today on The Matt Wall Show. Let's talk about something that affects all of us responsible, hardworking Americans, taxes. Now that it's the new year and tax season is upon us, are you prepared for what's coming? Do you owe back taxes or your tax returns still unfiled, missed the deadline to file for an extension? With the new year beginning and heading into the busy tax season, the IRS may be ramping up enforcement. Let me tell you, they're not playing around.

Back in 2022, the Biden administration was doing everything it could to distance itself from Donald Trump's foreign policy. Joe Biden and his handlers wanted to demonstrate that one year after the election, the adults were supposedly in charge now. And to that end, Biden hosted the president of Columbia at the White House.
And the purpose of the meeting was to announce that the US intended to designate Columbia as a quote unquote major non-NATO ally. Watch.
Today I'm proud to announce that I intend to designate Colombia a major non-NATO ally, because that's exactly what you are, a major, major non-NATO ally. And this is a recognition of the unique and close relationship between our countries.
Now, like so many other alliances we've entered into, this was the very definition of a one-sided deal. More than a quarter of Colombia's imports come from the US, while Colombia accounts for a fraction of a percent of US imports. Colombia's Air Force was making news because they were cannibalizing their rotary wing aircraft for spare parts. By most estimates, no other country in the Western Hemisphere has received more US assistance in the last 50 years than Colombia. And Colombia clearly wasn't capable of taking care of its own domestic affairs. In fact, just days ago, northern Colombia erupted into all-out warfare as guerrilla factions launched an invasion to take control of cocaine production. So that's what Colombia is like.
So a reasonable person might ask, why exactly was the Biden administration going out of its way to declare that Colombia was a major ally? How exactly are we defining the word major here? Not to mention ally. I mean, isn't an alliance supposed to be mutually beneficial? Where's the benefit for us? What the hell does Colombia bring to the table besides coffee and cocaine? What do they do for us? Joe Biden and his administration never answered those questions. You can read all their press releases and statements and they never explain it. But these are pretty important questions, especially after what happened this week when Colombia decided to reject U.S. military flights containing dozens of Colombian nationals who had illegally entered the United States.
