An epic episode of Good Trump, Bad Trump. President Trump is saying that he s going to try to fight flag burning with actual criminal penalties. Plus, he tried to fire a Fed governor. What exactly does that mean? And we have a massive breaking story and exclusive here at Dailywire exposing the AMA.
00:00:11.000And we have a massive breaking story and exclusive here at Daily Wire exposing the American Medical Association, one of our most cherished institutions, again, opened up and eaten from the inside first.
00:01:24.000Okay, so yesterday, President Trump suggested via executive order that we are going to arrest people and put them in jail for flag burning.
00:01:41.000Now, you don't know which way I'm going to go on this, right?
00:01:45.000was that good trump wait for it wait for it wait for it it was actually good trump i'll tell you why it was good trump the reason it was good trump is because people are misreading the the executive order.
00:01:56.000So what President Trump said, as always, is a very simplified version of what the executive order actually says.
00:02:00.000First, here's what President Trump had to say while signing the executive order.
00:02:05.000If you burn a flag, you get one year in jail, no early exits, no nothing.
00:02:21.000Incite to riot, and you burn a flag, you get one year in jail.
00:02:24.000You don't get ten years, you don't get one month.
00:02:27.000You get one year in jail, and it goes on your record.
00:02:30.000And you will see flag burning stopping immediately.
00:02:34.000Okay, so number one, there is a ruling in Texas v.
00:02:38.000Johnson that says that flag burning is indeed a legal activity under the First Amendment.
00:02:43.000Now, I want to go through the history of this in just a second, but I first want to say what the exact executive order says because people are saying that it somehow criminalizes all forms of flag burning that is not actually true.
00:02:53.000First of all, the president does not have the authority just via executive order to make anything criminal.
00:02:59.000You can't just make things criminal via executive order at the federal level that requires some sort of congressional act.
00:03:05.000The president can't just deem a thing illegal and it magically becomes illegal.
00:03:09.000He can enforce the cur the current law by directing his DOJ to prosecute certain crimes that are already on the book.
00:03:15.000So what exactly did the president sign?
00:03:18.000Well, according to the executive order, it says the key part says.
00:03:24.000Our great American flag is the most sacred and cherished symbol of the United States of America and of American freedom, identity and strength over nearly two and a half centuries.
00:03:31.000Many thousands of American patriots have fought blood and died to keep the stars and stripes waving proudly.
00:03:35.000The American flag is a special symbol in our national life that should unite and represent all Americans of every background and walk of life.
00:03:41.000Desecrating it is uniquely offensive and provocative.
00:03:43.000It is a statement of contempt, hostility and violence against our nation, the clearest possible expression of opposition to the political union that preserves our rights, liberty and security.
00:03:51.000Burning this representation of America may incite violence and riot.
00:03:55.000American flag burning is also used by groups of foreign nationals as a calculated act to intimidate and threaten violence against Americans because of their nationality and place of birth.
00:04:03.000Notwithstanding the Supreme Court's rulings on First Amendment protections, the court has never held that American flag desecration conducted in a manner that is likely to incite imminent lawless action or that is an action amounting to fighting words is constitutionally protected.
00:04:16.000Okay, so notice what the executive order is doing here.
00:04:20.000You know, obviously he has lawyers on staff who are doing this.
00:04:22.000He is not saying that if you just burn an American flag at a protest, that you're going to go to jail because that would in fact violate Texas versus Johnson.
00:04:30.000What he is saying is that like pretty much all other words in American life, if you do something that is likely to incite imminent lawless action, that is not protected by the First Amendment.
00:04:39.000If I tell you, let's go, for example, attack that courthouse, that is words, right?
00:04:45.000Those words are not protected by the First Amendment.
00:04:47.000Because they are likely to incite imminent lawless action.
00:04:50.000Also, there is a category called fighting words, which has sort of fallen out of common parlance.
00:04:56.000Legally speaking, it's not clear what fighting words are, but traditionally what it meant is that if you insulted someone, if I called your mother a whore or something, you punched me, then you could say theoretically that those were fighting words that were not constitutionally protected.
00:05:09.000doesn't do what everyone thinks it does.
00:05:11.000It doesn't say that if you burn a flag under any circumstances, you're going to jail.
00:05:15.000And so what exactly does the White House now expect the Attorney General to do?
00:05:19.000Well, quote, the Attorney General shall prioritize the enforcement of the fullest to the fullest extent possible of our nation's criminal and civil laws against acts of American flag desecration that violate applicable content neutral laws while causing harm unrelated to expression consistent with the First Amendment.
00:05:33.000This includes, but is not limited to, violent crimes, hate crimes, illegal discrimination against American citizens or other violations of American civil rights and crimes against property and the peace, as well as conspiracies and attempts to violate and aiding and abetting others to violate such laws.
00:05:48.000So again, the the whole thing is designed to avoid first amendment concerns.
00:05:52.000Now, it may never be invoked, but this is the reason why it goes under good Trump versus bad Trump.
00:05:58.000So there are a few different positions on this.
00:06:03.000One, according to the Supreme Court, the Constitution of the United States protects flag burning as a form of expression, as long as it doesn't violate other things like incitement to violence, for example.
00:06:14.000To the Supreme Court decision in Texas versus Johnson is wrong.
00:06:17.000That 54 decision, which is held in high esteem by libertarians and members of the left, but but actually violates centuries of American precedent.
00:06:44.000One, the law currently says, until it is changed by the Supreme Court, flag burning is protected activity as expression under the First Amendment.
00:06:52.000Two, that Supreme Court decision is wrong.
00:06:54.000Three, the executive order is designed to avoid the reach of Texas versus Johnson by linking flag burning to things that are not protected by the First Amendment, right?
00:07:05.000Because the truth is that if you're talking about expressive activity, anything could theoretically be expressive activity, right?
00:07:11.000The question is does it violate other forms of criminal law?
00:07:14.000So for example, if I strangle you to death with an American flag, can I say that that's freedom of expression?
00:07:19.000No, that's a criminal activity involving the American flag, and I will go to jail.
00:07:23.000So what they're attempting to do is link this with incitement, which is in fact a criminal activity for there are a bunch of people on the right who are saying, well, you know, it's criminal in America to burn the Pride Progress flag or the Black Lives Matter flag, so it should be criminal to burn the American flag.
00:07:37.000Okay, it's not criminal in America to burn the Pride Progress flag.
00:07:40.000If you wish to buy one and then burn it, you can absolutely do that.
00:07:44.000Now, there are hate crime laws on the books that I think are unconstitutional and violate the First Amendment that may be implicated by, for example, spiraling your wheels over some sort of gay pride flag painted on the sidewalk.
00:08:13.000So don't use one misinterpretation of law to justify another misinterpretation of law law.
00:08:19.000It is neither legal to burn an American flag nor is it illegal to burn a Pride Progress flag under the current status of law in the United States.
00:08:26.000When this kind of bizarre spiral to the bottom where everyone says a very simplified version of what they think the law is to justify another violation of the law, that is a very silly thing.
00:08:53.000Because as we've seen in America, as our institutions fall apart.
00:08:57.000As we have less and less fealty to anything in common, the American flag remains the only thing to which we should have total fealty.
00:09:05.000The Constitution of the United States, the American flag, these are the bases for being a good American.
00:09:09.000I know there's a lot of fought debate right now about what it means to be a good American.
00:09:14.000Very, very basic standards to be a good American.
00:09:16.000You should like the American flag because it's the flag of your country.
00:09:18.000And two, you should really like the Constitution of the United States, the organizing founding document of the country.
00:09:23.000Those seem to me like two very, very basic ones.
00:09:27.000And all this talk about heritage Americans that you're hearing from the right.
00:09:31.000The idea that you're a true American if your ancestors got here in 1710, as opposed to you're a bad American if your ancestors got here in.
00:09:51.000In fact, it is an anti-american idea that just because you got here at a particular point in time that makes you more American than an American who came here at a different point in time.
00:10:01.000But and from the left, you hear this idea of American citizenship that American citizenship essentially means nothing and diversity is what American citizenship is all about, which is not true.
00:10:09.000It seems to me that if you are going to form an Americanism around ideas, loyalty and love for the country,, the American flag is a very good place to start, which brings us back to that Texas versus Johnson decision.
00:10:22.000I'm just going to point out here that's a bad decision.
00:10:30.000Plus, we'll get to President Trump firing a Fed governor and a breaking story here at the Daily Wire about the American Medical Association.
00:10:36.000First, how many times have you said to someone, if it ain't broke, don't fix it.
00:10:49.000Fortunately, thanks to pure talk, your cell phone is something you can replace without feeling guilty when you switch to pure talk this month., they're going to give you a Samsung Galaxy 836 for free with a $35 qualification plan, just $35 a month for talk, text, data, and a free Samsung phone with scratch resistant gorilla glass and a battery that lasts all day long, all on America's most reliable 5G network.
00:11:46.000Criminals forge your signature on one document, use a fake notary stamp, pay a small fee with your county, and then just like that, your home title can be transferred out of your name.
00:11:54.000Then they take out loans using your equity or they even sell your property.
00:11:57.000You won't even know it's happened until you get a collection or execution notice.
00:11:59.000So when was the last time you checked on your home title?

00:12:43.000By 1932, every single state in America had a flag desecration statute.
00:12:49.000Even though according to the Supreme Court, the flag was a federal symbol, states could still criminalize the desecration of the American flag.
00:12:56.000And typically, this was designed not only at preventing marking the flag or mutilating, trampling, defacing, defiling, defying the flag or anything of that.
00:13:06.000It was also originally in many of these states prevented from from advertising.
00:13:09.000You weren't supposed to use the American flag in advertisements, which of course has basically gone by the wayside over the course of time.
00:13:15.000You see the American flag on all sorts of gear now.
00:13:19.000Well, in West Virginia Board of Education v.
00:13:21.000Barnett, 1943, the Supreme Court started to say things like people could not be compelled to salute the flag because refusing to do so is freedom of speech.
00:13:29.000And you can make that argument that that at least is a fairly decent argument.
00:13:32.000Justice Jackson wrote, if there is any fixed start in our constitutional constellation, it is that no official, high or petty, can prescribe what shall be orthodox in politics, nationalism, religion or other matters of opinion.
00:13:41.000Now, again, I think that's an arguable opinion.
00:13:43.000I think that saying that you should actually, you know, like the country and like the flag, that's not a horrible prerequisite to being an American citizen.
00:13:51.000But you can see the counter argument, which is the freedom of speech at the federal level at the very least, not at the state level.
00:13:57.000Remember, the First Amendment to the Constitution applies to Congress.
00:14:01.000This Congress shall make no law bridging freedom of speech.
00:14:05.000The states routinely in the early days made lots of laws bridging freedom of speech.
00:14:09.000However, you can see the attempts by the Supreme Court to sort of carve back much of the law surrounding the flag.
00:14:16.000In 1968, Congress passed a federal flag desecration law, which was meant to mirror many of the state laws.
00:14:23.000The federal law made it illegal to knowingly cast contempt upon any flag of the United States by publicly mutilating, defacing, defiling, burning or trampling upon it.
00:14:32.000And then there were a bunch of Supreme Court cases, again under the very, very liberal Warren Court that carved a lot of this back, including 1969 saying that you could curse the flag, 1974 saying that you could sew the flag to your pants, that you could sit on it in a way to shame it.
00:14:45.000And then that all culminated in the Texas v.
00:14:47.000Johnson decision, which was written by Justice Brennan.
00:14:50.000The court there found that the flag burning it was symbolic speech and that Texas' statute was content-based.
00:14:56.000Justice Scalia, who was the deciding vote in that case, he said, If it were up to me, I would put in jail every sandal wearing scruffy, bearded weirdo who burns the American flag, but I am not king.
00:15:05.000Okay, but as Justice William Rehnquist, a conservative justice, wrote in dissent, in holding this Texas statute unconstitutional, the court ignores Justice Holmes' familiar aforism that a page of history is worth a volume of logic.
00:15:17.000For more than two hundred years, the American flag has occupied a unique position as the symbol of our nation, a uniqueness that justifies a governmental prohibition against flag burning in the way respondent Johnson did here.
00:15:27.000He pointed out that every single state, except for Alaska and Wyoming, had statutes at the time prohibiting the burning of the flag.
00:15:33.000He says the American flag, throughout more than two hundred years of our history, has come to be the visible symbol embodying our nation.
00:15:39.000It does not represent the views of any particular political party.
00:15:42.000It does not represent any particular political philosophy.
00:15:44.000The flag is not simply another idea or point of view competing for recognition in the marketplace of ideas.
00:15:50.000I cannot agree that the First Amendment invalidates the Act of Congress and that the laws of 48 of the 50 states which make criminal the public burning of the flag.
00:15:57.000The government may conscript men into the armed forces where they must fight and perhaps die for the flag, but the government may not prohibitit the public burning of the banner under which they fight.
00:16:05.000And of course, Justice Rehnquist is right about that.
00:16:07.000So the reason that this goes under good Trump is on the merits.
00:16:24.000But the reason it's also good is because it is good politics.
00:16:27.000Because now what you're going to see is a bunch of leftists going out in the street burning the American flag, which is precisely what Trump is tempting them to do.
00:16:35.000President Trump is saying, you know, you believe that America is all about burning the American flag that America, American citizenship is about quote unquote dissent is patriotic.
00:16:44.000Well, hitting the American flag is not something that most Americans actually like very much.
00:16:48.000Okay, so that goes under the category of good Trump.
00:16:52.000Although I can see why, again, there are a lot of people on the libertarian right who are upset about it.
00:17:34.000He doesn't like her very much, the president of the United States.
00:17:36.000And so on the basis of an allegation that she falsified mortgage documents by essentially claiming two separate homes as her primary and getting a mortgage on the basis of that allegation, not adjudicated, no guilt actually found.
00:18:15.000If she's found guilty, you can fire her theoretically, but the idea that you can just kind of fire willy nilly anyone who violates the law, but not even allegedly violates the law, this is setting a pretty bad predicate.
00:18:29.000I understand that a lot of people on the right right right right now are cheering President Trump's massive centralization of power in the executive branch.
00:18:36.000They're cheering it over the Federal Reserve.
00:18:39.000They're cheering it over the taking of stock and intelligence.
00:18:41.000They're cheering a lot of these things.
00:18:43.000I do not cheer this stuff because the more you grow the executive branch, the more the left will have control when eventually they win the presidency.
00:18:49.000And I'm old enough to remember when the right thought they would never lose an election again.
00:19:04.000And by 2017, Donald Trump was sitting in the Oval Office.
00:19:08.000And so this idea by either political party that if you mess with the mechanisms of government in a major way because it is convenient to do so, it won't come back to bite you in the ass.
00:19:17.000That has never been true in the history of American politics and it's not true now.
00:19:21.000So on a moral level, you shouldn't fire people based on allegations specifically because you don't like their politics.
00:19:26.000That is not the way that you're supposed to.
00:19:28.000If you want to say the president should be able to fire anybody he wants at the Federal Reserve because he doesn't like their politics, I think that is actually a more solid case based on the unitary executive theory than the case that you should be able to sort of jerry rig an allegation, a criminal allegation to fire somebody.
00:19:58.000Right now, the president is about to get what he wants from the Federal Reserve.
00:20:02.000He's about to get those lower interest rates.
00:20:04.000The chances that Jerome Powell and the Federal Reserve are going to lower the interest rates by 25 basis points in September are really, really high.
00:20:11.000So why is he screwing around with this right now, other than a sort of petty revenge minded goal or the attempt to completely remake the FOMC, which by the way, undermines his agenda.
00:20:26.000Because if you don't have an independent Federal Reserve, then what you end up with is a belief by the markets that the president is basically manipulating the money.
00:20:33.000And if the president manipulates the money, that's bad.
00:20:38.000It's actually the case, the strong libertarian case, the laissez faire case against the Federal Reserve in the first place is the idea that you shouldn't have centralized banks that are manipulating the money supply.
00:20:48.000In any case, President Trump yesterday put out a letter directed at Lisa Cook, quote, Dear Governor Cook, pursuant to my authority under Article II of the Constitution of the United States and the Federal Reserve Act of nineteen thirteen, you are hereby removed from your position on the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve effective immediately.
00:21:04.000The Federal Reserve Act provides that you may be removed at my discretion for cause.
00:21:07.000I have determined there is sufficient cause to remove you from your position., as set forth in the criminal referral dated August 15, 2025 from mister William J. Poulty, director of the Federal Housing Finance Agency, to miss Pamela Bondy, Attorney General, there is sufficient reason to believe you may have made false statements on one or more mortgage agreements.
00:21:26.000For example, as detailed in the criminal referral, you signed one document attesting that a property in Michigan would be your primary residence for the next year.
00:21:34.000Two weeks later, you signed another document for a property in Georgia stating it would be your primary residence the next year.
00:21:39.000You were not aware of your first commitment when making the second.
00:21:42.000It is impossible that you intended to honor both.
00:21:44.000Okay, so first of all, I just want to point out here.
00:21:47.000I also do not like the precedent of the head of the Federal Housing Finance Agency digging up the mortgage records of various political enemies and then publicly putting that out there.
00:21:57.000I don't know why Bill Pulte is doing that.
00:21:59.000If you want to make a criminal referral, do it behind closed doors to the AG.
00:22:02.000And if the AG actually has the goods, then go prosecute and then fire Lisa Cook, but I didn't like it when the Democrats kept trying to leak Donald Trump's IRS records.
00:22:11.000And I also don't like it when the FHFA is now attempting to leak the records of a governmental official that they don't like via some sort of criminal referral, which doesn't mean anything.
00:22:23.000Criminal referral from the FHFA has the same amount of actual content as me making the criminal referral to the DOJ.
00:22:34.000They can do what they want with it, but that shouldn't be public in any case.
00:22:37.000President Trump writes the Federal Reserve has tremendous responsibility for setting interest rates and regulating reserve and member banks.
00:22:43.000The American people must be able to have full confidence in the honesty of the members entrusted with setting policy and overseeing the Federal Reserve in light of your deceptive and potentially criminal conduct in a financial matter.
00:22:52.000They cannot and I do not have such confidence in your integrity.
00:22:55.000Okay, again, the only reason people know about this is because Pulte made it public.
00:23:00.000This does not seem like smart policy to me, either moral or smart.
00:23:05.000Well, Lisa Cook said she's not going to leave.
00:23:07.000She said, quote, President Trump purported to fire me for cause when no cause exists under the law, has no authority to do so.
00:23:13.000I will continue to carry out my duties to help the American economy as I have been doing since 2022.
00:23:18.000So we will see how the Supreme Court rules in this matter because it is not particularly clear that the Supreme Court is going to go along with all this.
00:23:25.000Naturally, leave it to the Democrats to come up with the stupidest possible response to this.
00:23:28.000Hakeem Jeffries, the Democratic leader, instead of saying the president is tyrannically attempting to expand his authority over the Federal Reserve by jerry rigging charges and firing people he doesn't like, instead, he makes it about the fact that Lisa Cook is black.
00:23:42.000Quote, Dr. Lisa Cook is the first black woman ever to serve in the Federal Reserve Board of Governors.
00:23:46.000To the extent anyone is unfit to serve in a position of responsibility because of deceptive and potentially criminal conduct, it is the current occupant of the White House.
00:24:17.000You can visit bowmovie dot com to see the trailers.
00:24:19.000Bao Artist at War tells the remarkable true story of Joseph Bao, a gifted artist and forger who risked his life to save others during the Holocaust.
00:24:26.000There he found not only the strength to survive, but unexpected love with Rebecca.
00:24:29.000It's a gripping story of survival, love and courage.
00:26:25.000The federal government should not be taking gigantic stakes in private companies.
00:26:28.000When they do that, it makes them too big to fail.
00:26:30.000It means that if the company starts to fail, the federal government is going to pour more money in.
00:26:35.000And so essentially, you now have a federally subsidized business that is publicly traded.
00:26:40.000And so if you're an investor, I suppose it's a smart idea to buy Intel because now the chances Intel goes bankrupt are extremely, extremely low.
00:26:48.000However, this is a very bad predicate because once you have the federal government intervene, okay, if you don't like DEI, for example, if you think DEI is bad, what do you think happens to the the policies and procedures at Intel?
00:27:05.000Do you think that they start ramming home DEI inside Intel?
00:27:09.000You bet your ass they do because once the government is involved in policy making, political angles take precedence over business angles because they can always just subsidize with your taxpayer dollars and yet here is President Trump yesterday saying that he wants to do much more like we just did with Intel where the government is taking stakes in private companies.
00:27:26.000What do you say to some who say this is a bit hypocritical and is this the new way of doing industrial policy?
00:27:34.000I want to try and get as much as I can.
00:27:36.000If people come in and they need something as an example.
00:27:38.000For example, as a real estate person, if I have an agreement and I have a I have any form of a stop gap where I can stop somebody from doing something, right?
00:27:50.000I have a covenant in an agreement and they come to me and they say, would like you to would like to do something but you have us restricted.
00:27:59.000If I do that, they usually have to pay.
00:28:02.000Now, in the case of Intel was interesting, but I hope I'm going to have many more cases like it.
00:28:10.000The difference is that when President Trump was in the private sector, if he wished to subsidize a business by grabbing a piece of his equity, That's his problem because then if the company goes down the tubes, he's the one who pays.
00:28:20.000But if Intel goes down the tubes, guess who pays?
00:28:31.000And yet this apparently is the way that the Trump administration wants to do.
00:28:34.000But again, if you even if you like what President Trump is doing because you like President Trump, understand when the shoe is on the other foot, you're not going to like it very much.
00:28:42.000I'm old enough to remember when Republicans were very upset about Barack Obama subsidizing Salindra.
00:29:15.000The idea that the federal government has to personally invest in various businesses is a violation of the basic free market principles of the United States.
00:29:23.000It is a tremendous neglect of the very fundamental economic principles upon which President Trump ran.
00:29:36.000Okay, so we should expect the US government to be taking more equity stakes in businesses around the country.
00:29:43.000That is something that if you're a CEO this morning watching us, you should say, okay, the sovereign wealth fund may be coming and trying to effectively buy in some kind of equity stake.
00:29:57.000That if in the past the federal government has been giving money away liquidity split to companies and the taxpayers have received nothing in return.
00:30:06.000And so now what's happening with the Intel deal is the CHIPS Act money is going to out as planned, but instead of just going out and disappearing into the ether, the US taxpayers are getting a little bit of equity.
00:30:17.000I can really not see how anyone would think that's a bad thing, unless you thought that the government was going to go in and run the company.
00:30:24.000But these are going to be shareholders that don't have voting rights.
00:30:27.000The government's going to stay out of it.
00:30:30.000Oh, yeah, the government's going to stay out of it.
00:31:33.000The vast majority of these people are going to go back to China, bring the IP of the United States along with them after having trained at American universities.
00:31:40.000All that really is, these 600,000 Chinese students, is a gigantic subsidy to low-level universities because foreign students pay the full freight at these universities.
00:32:04.000I mean seriously, what what are we talking about here?
00:32:08.000I hear so many stories about we're not going to allow their students, we're not going to allow their students to come in.
00:32:13.000We're going to allow it's very important, 600,000 students.
00:32:16.000It's very important, but we're going to get along with China.
00:32:19.000But it's a different relationship that we have now with China.
00:32:22.000It's a much better relationship economically than it was before.
00:32:28.000Okay, so Laura Ingram yesterday had on Howard Lutnick, the commerce secretary, and basically she'll act him over this correctly.
00:32:36.000How is allowing 600,000 students from the communist country of China putting America first?
00:32:44.000Well, the president's point of view is that what would happen if you didn't have those six hundred thousand students is that you'd empty them from the top, all the students would go up to better schools, and the bottom fifteen percent of universities and colleges would go out of business in America.
00:33:01.000So his view is he's taking a rational economic view, which is classic Donald Trump looking at higher education and saying, but why do you want to do that?
00:33:40.000Not only the six hundred thousand slots that American kids won't get, those are six hundred thousand slots that are going to Chinese nationals who will likely go back to their mother country with an American education in hand and all the connections they made in the United States in hand.
00:33:54.000Some of those people, by the way, will get hired at major tech companies and many of those people will be canning information back to the Chinese because how do you think the IP moves?
00:34:02.000like really, this sort of absolute inconstance in policy is maddening.
00:34:08.000Are we trying to box China in or are we trying to let China out?
00:34:12.000I mean, at the same exact time this is happening, the president is threatening more tariffs on China.
00:34:17.000He's saying that maybe more tariffs are coming based on rare earth magnets.
00:34:20.000If they don't give us their rare earth magnets, then we're going to tariff them at 200 percent.
00:34:25.000So what's the consistent policy consistency when it comes to economic policy is the thing that allows investors to know that their money isn't just going to disappear or go away.
00:34:35.000That policy is going to flip on a dime.
00:34:37.000Inconstance in economic policy is a problem.
00:34:41.000There were lots of problems with FDR's policy during the Great Depression, which lengthened the Great Depression by full on eight years.
00:34:46.000Terrible economic policies across the board.
00:34:47.000But one of the big ones is that legitimately every day, FDR would wake up in the morning and he would decide, spur the moment, to make decisions about things like the price of gold.
00:35:58.000I've said before that we did this ass backwards.
00:36:01.000We certainly should have attempted to make better trade arrangements, solidify our supply chains and all that stuff before we got into a trade war with China.
00:36:10.000Instead, it's kind of playing hokey pokey with China here.
00:36:46.000And when the judges make a decision, he actually is abiding by it.
00:36:49.000So he said, listen, I'm not a dictator.
00:36:51.000Like some people want me to be, but I'm not.
00:36:54.000I'm thinking about, you know, when I have some slob like Pritzker criticizing us before we even go there, I made the statement that next should be Chicago, because as you all know, Chicago is a killing field right now.
00:37:16.000I'm a man with great common sense and I'm a smart person.
00:37:22.000And when I see what's happening to our cities and then you send in troops instead of being praised, they're saying you're trying to take over the republic.
00:38:15.000I mean, it's impossible to imagine that when you get 97% negative stories, purposely negative stories, even though you've done 97% positive things, that they could that you could win an election in a landslide winning all seven.
00:39:21.000First, when we started Daily Wire, we did it to bring truth to America without that leftist bend.
00:39:25.000Then, Harry's Razors pulled their advertising from us because, you know, Michael Mull said that boys aren't not girls.
00:39:30.000So we launched Jeremy's Razors to be the sole company in the industry to deliver a great shave that isn't afraid of biological reality right now.
00:39:37.000You can try Jeremy's Razors for just $7.99 barber-grade blades, a moisturizing Alice strip, a weighted handle, and a damn good shave for only $7.99.
00:39:47.000This is the very razor of which I speak and that $7.99 that is our lowest price ever join the hundreds of thousands of daily wire listeners who use jeremy's razors go to jeremy's razors dot com slash pen today join the fight for sanity that's jeremy's razors dot com slash pen so as I say so many of America's major institutions have been hollowed out from the inside we saw a lot of this of course during BLM summer we saw this during COVID and we know this about the American Medical Association so we here at the daily wire have now obtained damning exclusive footage
00:40:17.000of a private hour-long meeting between the current president of the American Medical Association Dr. Bobby McCamala, Michigan representative Brad Paquette and former guest of the show Dr. Doctor Aton Haim, whom you may remember as the Texas Children's Hospital Whistleblower.
00:40:31.000This material is pretty catastrophic for the AMA.
00:40:33.000It proves beyond any doubt their support for trans health care is based on fake science, willful blindness, total abandonment of all evidence-based medicine, all of which are supposed to be antithetical to the existence of their organization, a violation of the Hippocratic Oath.
00:40:47.000Now, as many of you know, the Daily Wire has already landed a major blow against the trans industry by investigating Vanderbilt Hospital that culminated in a Supreme Court victory earlier this summer, and that allowed Tennessee and other red states to ban barbaric transing of the children procedures.
00:41:01.000The British government has totally walked back their policies in the wake of the CAS review, the Trump administration's health and human services report and Michael Schellenbroger's WPATH files have exposed the medical experts' own admissions of doubt.
00:41:11.000The FTC has begun examining gender affirming care, so called as a consumer fraud, which of course it is.
00:41:17.000Confronted with all these defeats, the trans activist army continues to double down.
00:41:22.000Gender ideologues continue to seek legitimization in law.
00:41:24.000Teachers' unions, medical establishment, they all leave children across the country vulnerable to medical abuse.
00:41:29.000So how are they still able to do this?
00:41:31.000Well, because they have one gigantic pillar that they continue to stand on as the authority of the largest medical association in America, the American Medical Association or AMA.
00:41:40.000So the AMA is supposed to be the gold standard for medical associations.
00:41:43.000They preside over a quarter million dues paying members.
00:41:46.000That is to say, physicians, medical students, plastic surgeons.
00:41:49.000Basically, if you're a doctor, you have to be a member of the AMA.
00:41:51.000They publish a comprehensive code of medical ethics.
00:41:56.000They operate as a quasi governmental organization.
00:41:58.000They issue the majority of their continuing education that doctors must receive in order to maintain medical licenses.
00:42:03.000So back in 2008, the AMA adopted something called Resolution 122 in support of drugs and surgeries used today to quote unquote, treat gender confusion.
00:42:14.000And they proclaimed that they would reject the myth that such treatments would be like hormone therapy and cutting the breasts off healthy youngsters, fake vaginas being made are experimental and declared them instead safe and effective treatment.
00:42:26.000The AMA couched all this as a matter of non-discrimination, as if there was no difference between a mastectomy for a woman with breast cancer to save her life and cutting off a 16-year-old girl's breast because she is gender confused.
00:42:38.000By 2021, the AMA dove in with laser focus on gender confused kids.
00:42:42.000The AMA's then vice president and CEO, James Madera, wrote a letter to state governors urging them not to ban the castration, sterilization of gender confused kids, claiming empirical evidence demonstrates that trans and non-binary gender identities are normal variations of human identity and expression, and that the science backed the use of hormonal sterilization surgery to prevent gender confused patients from killing themselves.
00:43:05.000This idea has consistently been trotted out there for as their excuse essentially for medical mutilation that without these horrifying hormonal and surgical interventions, patients would kill themselves.
00:43:18.000In the Supreme Court oral arguments regarding US v.
00:43:21.000Scrumetti, a transgender ACLU lawyer and activist named Chase Strangio buckled under pressure from Justice Alito admitting suicides were, thankfully and admittedly rare among trans youth in 2022.
00:43:32.000The then president of the AMA, Dr. Jack Resnick criticized all scrutiny of gender affirming care as quote unquote disinformation.
00:43:40.000I'm angry about how science and medicine have been politicized, about the flood of disinformation that seeks to discredit data and evidence, undermine public health.
00:43:54.000No, we didn't pick this political fight, but we will stand up for our patience, for the policies of this House, and for our profession.
00:44:11.000Moralize cloud our ability to care for transgender patients.
00:44:15.000Drivers of disinformation say that gender-affirming care clinics are performing genital mutilation surgeries on teens, are not involving families in care decisions, are using medical treatments on young children who show up after wondering for one day if they're trans.
00:44:32.000Of course, we know that these procedures have in fact been performed on gender confused kids.
00:44:36.000Before we get to anything else, the AMA's blatant disregard, ignorance, deceit on this basis alone should disqualify them as an authority on the trans issue.
00:44:43.000Unfortunately, the evidence that we've obtained indicates there's much, much more where that came from.
00:44:49.000All right, up in Michigan, a former teacher turned Republican state representative named Brad Paquette decided to go straight to the source, a fellow Michigander and the incoming president.
00:44:57.000of the AMA, Dr. Bobby Mukamala Paquette also invited Dr. Aiton Haim, who you may remember as the Texas Children's Hospital whistleblower.
00:45:04.000The footage of their meeting, which we're bringing you exclusively here today, completely discredits the AMA.
00:45:09.000For starters, AMA president Dr. Bobby Mukamala cites many statistics that are flat out wrong.
00:45:14.000He declares puberty blockers are reversible only to be confronted with the facts about the real risks from Dr. Haim, who is not only an AMA member, but a doctor with experience surgically placing puberty blockers in pediatric patients with actual endocrine disorders like precocious puberty.
00:45:27.000In response, Dr. McCamala demonstrates no alarm, dodges Dr. Haim's questions and even mocks Dr. Haim's concerns in one of the most unprofessional moments of the entire encounter.
00:45:39.000Okay, so you said that puberty blockers are reversible, right?
00:45:44.000What they're recommending the time to use these blockers are Tanner stage two before the start of puberty when children are eleven, twelve years old, right?
00:46:24.000If you can't see that, what he's doing with his hand is he's opening and shutting his hand like blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
00:46:29.000Nuts faced with legitimate science challenging his position, the AMA demonstrates total neglect of duty.
00:46:34.000Unfortunately, this was just the first indication of the stupidity and dishonesty of the AMA in response to Dr. Himes' point that medications and surgeries do indeed cause irreversible damage.
00:46:44.000Dr. McCamala simply repeats long debunked claims that the patient regret rate for all of these interventions is supposedly only two percent.
00:47:30.000A systematic review, a meta analysis right there in the title., the keyword surgery indicates the study does not measure regret for the tens of thousands of American teenagers who took any measures up to the point of surgery, like, you know, puberty blockers or cross-sex hormones, which still forever alters their body, their voices, their future fertility.
00:47:45.000A criticism of that study published in the International Open Access Journal of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons claims Bustos left out several relevant papers, inappropriately included another, and miscalculated the basic data.
00:47:56.000Additionally, of the studies included, many lacked adequate follow-up, only tracking patients for a year or two.
00:48:01.000Regret often takes an average of eight years to manifest.
00:48:04.000In one of the studies Bustos reviewed, there was a 36% loss to follow-up rate, meaning we have no idea what happened to those patients.
00:48:10.000But methodological negligence is just one part of the problem.
00:48:15.000The whole notion of being trans doesn't have any internal coherence, of course, because the idea that a man believes he's a woman, therefore he's a woman, is totally anti science.
00:48:23.000Here's what happens when doctor Haim presents doctor Bobby with the AMA's own statements, showing how the AMA has totally contradicted itself on whether gender identity is even alterable.
00:48:32.000It's kind of an important thing to determine before you start cutting healthy body parts off children, you might think.
00:48:38.000So they're saying that underlying the assumption is not based on medical and scientific evidence, right?
00:48:53.000So in this, according to this brief, they're saying that gender identity cannot be changed, right?
00:49:00.000That it's not based on medicine or science.
00:49:02.000But then when you go to another one, it actually says that it can and should be changed.
00:49:06.000I mean, you've led the so gender identity is something that goes on here, not here or there.
00:49:48.000They're not I don't see it as self evident because I'm not understanding what your concern is because these are things that the gender identity is something that happens from somebody's brain.
00:50:14.000These are obviously incompatible statements.
00:50:16.000Either gender identity changes or it doesn't.
00:50:19.000Dr. McCamwell has apparently sided with the idea that it can change, which is kind of a wild position to take when you're defending the amputation of a teenager's reproductive organs.
00:50:28.000What the policy of the AMA is that gender identity is something that comes from something here, not the chromosomes, and what people think they are can change.
00:50:41.000And wherever it lands, if it's causing them suicidal ideation because they think they're something something and that's not something that's accepted or getting them into trouble socially.
00:50:52.000That's why the rate of suicide is at fifty percent or higher in this population.
00:51:15.000Dr. Bobby is making up that statistic.
00:51:17.000There's not even a random activist study from a blue hair gender fluid.
00:51:19.000They them in Portland that claims that there is a actual fifty percent suicide rate.
00:51:24.000When doctor Bobby has no incorrect claims to make, he then returns back repeatedly to his assertion that he's not actually an expert.
00:51:28.000And he's not an expert in endocrinology or plastic surgery.
00:51:32.000But as the president of the AMA, he's supposed to be an expert in the AMA's code of ethics and at the bare minimum, the Hippocratic Oath.
00:51:37.000Doctor Haim points out the obvious problem.
00:51:39.000If the AMA is not the expert on this, then who precisely is when confronted with the findings of the HHS report and W paths to seed, which doctor Bobby admits he has not read, he then becomes defensive and reflex.
00:51:51.000As we've seen in the most recent HHS report, all those organizations have been implicated in concealing evidence that doesn't support their recommendations, right?
00:52:03.000These people are hiding studies that don't support their conclusions.
00:52:07.000That's what WPATH was doing with the data.
00:52:09.000But you're telling me that the people that take care of these patients at the University of Michigan are hiding data?
00:52:17.000They might be involved in it if they're in WPATH and we're responsible for making those guidelines, absolutely.
00:53:16.000But, you know, when I. I had a seven year old patient in Marquette, for instance, who identified as transgender.
00:53:24.000She had for years, her main concern was how to diminish any appearance of a bulge in her ballet leotard.
00:53:32.000So our medical treatment was just how do we avoid rashes in this kid.
00:53:37.000At the same time, mom was expressing that before they let her socially transition, before they let her grow her hair out and choose her own name, she had frequently talked about wanting to die and that that had stopped as soon as they let her start making those choices.
00:53:53.000By the way, Jesse Krakowian is supposed to be a man.
00:53:56.000Noticed something about the voice there.
00:53:58.000Remember, that's a medical doctor, not some activist on TikTok espousing how they've affirmed a child's confusion and strung along their parents in their activist crusade.
00:54:05.000Routine way, something this insane exits the mouth of the AMA's apparent top transgender expert upon whose opinion the AMA's policies apparently will rely is absolutely astonishing.
00:54:15.000We'll bring you the rest of the story tomorrow.
00:54:16.000For today, Dr. Bobby Makamala and the AMA's feat should be held to the fire.
00:54:20.000The AMA must be stopped from rubber stamping barbarism and experimental medicine.
00:54:23.000Go over to ama exposed dot com dot That's ama exposed dot com to learn more and sign on to our petition.
00:54:30.000Obviously, Daily Wire has been fighting this for a very, very long time.
00:54:57.000And then you remember that the Trump administration deported him to El Salvador and they probably should have waited to deport him to El Salvador and then they brought him back to adjudicate what to do with him next.
00:55:05.000And then they said, okay, well, we are now going to try him and then we're going to deport him and maybe we'll send him to Uganda.
00:55:11.000Well, a federal judge on Monday said that actually the Trump administration is absolutely forbidden.
00:55:17.000from removing him from the United States.
00:55:19.000US District Court judge Paula Zinnas, an appointee of former President Obama, blocked Abrego Garcia's deportation to Uganda until she can hold a hearing to determine whether the administration will let him contest his removal to the third country.
00:55:32.000She said, Your clients are absolutely forbidden at this juncture to remove mister Abrego Garcia from the continental United States.
00:55:38.000That is the understanding that we have.
00:55:40.000The government suggested that his deportation is not imminent.
00:55:43.000Meanwhile, his lawyers say that he has been detained by ICE again as well as he should be.
00:55:48.000He is an illegal immigrant who is allegedly involved with MS thirteen trafficking.
00:55:52.000mister Abrego Garcia was taken into custody by ICE this morning.
00:55:55.000As he was leaving the jail in Tennessee on Friday, he'd been given a notice requiring him to check in at 8 a.m. this morning.
00:56:01.000The notice stated that the reason was interview.
00:56:12.000There was no need for them to take him into ICE detention.
00:56:14.000He was already on electronic monitoring from the U.S. Marshall Service and basically on house arrest.
00:56:19.000The only reason that they've chosen to take him into detention is to punish him.
00:56:25.000Well, I mean, they're taking him into detention because they're going to deport him, presumably.
00:56:29.000Hilariously, Abdulgarcia's lawyer then said they might send him to Uganda.
00:56:34.000Why are they sending him to a place where they don't speak English?
00:56:37.000The official language of Uganda is English.
00:56:41.000As Kilmar Abrego Garcia was leaving the jail in Tennessee and was in his car on the way up to Maryland, the government designated Uganda as the country of removal.
00:56:58.000It is preposterous that they would send him to Africa, to a country where he doesn't even speak the language, a country with documented human rights violations.
00:57:10.000Uh, when there are so many other options.
00:57:15.000Well, um, I mean, he might need another option for a lawyer.
00:57:18.000This does not seem like a particularly good lawyer.
00:57:20.000Meanwhile, Democrats, they have decided that the only way forward against President Trump is, of course, resistance.
00:57:25.000The problem is they have no idea, like, at all, how to resist in any way that doesn't alienate the American people with their sanity.
00:57:32.000So the DNC had its summer meeting yesterday, the Democratic National Committee, and I don't know what's wrong with these people.
00:57:37.000They literally opened their Democratic National Committee with a land acknowledgement as Ken Martin head of the DNC.
00:58:26.000Good morning DNC members, friends and relatives.
00:58:30.000Let's talk about the land for a second.
00:58:34.000The DNC acknowledges and honors the Dakota Oyate, the Dakota people, who are the original stewards of the lands and waters of Minneapolis.
00:58:42.000The Dakota cared for the lands, lakes, and the Wakatonka, the Great River, the Mississippi River, for thousands of years before colonization.
00:58:53.000It is a part of a history of broken treaties and promises, and in many ways we still live in a system built to suppress indigenous peoples' cultural and spiritual history.
00:59:06.000You're going to win back men the middle of America by saying that America is all stolen land and that those systems of theft are perpetuated into the present day.
00:59:55.000Then Tim Walls came forward, you know, the governor of Minnesota who was the most horrifying vice presidential candidate I've ever seen.
01:00:02.000And Tim Walls then proceeded to say the S word, not just damn, the S word, which means he's super, duper, duper passionate.
01:00:11.000The privilege of my lifetime was stand beside someone we know was the most qualified and would have been a fantastic president in a president Harris.
01:00:25.000We wouldn't wake up every day to a bunch of on TV and a bunch of nonsense.
01:00:30.000We would wake up to an adult with compassion and dignity and vision and leadership doing the work, not a man child crying about whatever's wrong with him.
01:00:42.000Yeah, it went great for them last time with this message.
01:00:44.000Probably they need to do more of this, but don't worry.
01:00:46.000They have another over white white man who they are going to trot out there to rip President Trump.
01:00:50.000That would be Illinois Governor JB Pritzker, who must be lowered into the state capital by Crane.
01:00:55.000And he was also riping President Trump over the possibility of a National Guard deployment to Chicago.
01:01:01.000What President Trump is doing is unprecedented and unwarranted.
01:01:16.000This is about Donald Trump searching for any justification to deploy the military in a blue city, in a blue state, to try and intimidate his political rivals.
01:01:28.000This is about the President of the United States and his complicit lackey, Stephen Miller, searching for ways to lay the groundwork to circumvent our democracy, militarize our city.
01:01:47.000God, they just can't, they can't stop themselves.
01:01:49.000Meanwhile, the least popular mayor in America, Brandon Johnson, Chicago, he says that while he's protesting the deployment of the National Guard to Chicago, he says, we have to stop sending people to jail.
01:01:59.000Dude, it's because you want to stop sending criminals to jail that anyone is even talking about crime in your city.
01:02:05.000Instead of spending hundreds of millions of dollars for a publicity stunt to invoke chaos and terror, the federal government should spend that money on proven solutions to crime and violence reduction.
01:02:17.000We cannot incarcerate our way out of violence.
01:02:21.000We've already tried that and we've ended up with the largest prison population in the world without solving the problems of crime and violence.
01:02:29.000The addiction on jails and incarceration in this country, we have moved past that.
01:02:48.000Well, maybe because Barbara Lee, who is another person considered for Joe Biden's vice president before he picked the unbelievably charismatic and so brat Kamala.
01:02:57.000Harris, Barbara Lee is the mayor of Oakland.
01:02:59.000And here she is saying that the police in Oakland won't actually work with ICE.
01:03:30.000And they've got like a target rich environment.
01:03:32.000And the best they can come up with is that they are going to not cooperate with ICE, allow crime to spiral in their cities and say damn and at the DNC with land acknowledgements.
01:03:44.000My goodness, they are truly terrible at this.
01:03:48.000Well, in cultural news, I just wanted to point out there's an update on the great story of our time, Cracker Barrel.
01:03:55.000So Cracker Barrel has now admitted they could have done a better job with their logo redesign.
01:03:59.000They said Uncle Herschel will still be on the menu.
01:04:04.000That's of course the white dude leaning on the barrel.
01:04:07.000Apparently the origin of Cracker Barrel for those of us who have never been to it, like I keep kosher, I've never been to a Cracker Barrel.
01:04:13.000the Cracker Barrel logo is that when you would go to sort of an old country store, there would be a barrel outside filled with chips, like filled with crackers to keep them dry so they didn't rot and mold inside.
01:04:25.000And there would be some old dude lying on it.
01:04:27.000And that was basically the Cracker Barrel thing.
01:04:29.000And then they redid the inside of Cracker Barrel as well to make it, I don't know, less kitschy or something.
01:04:40.000And so there are a bunch of people who are, you know, basically not going to Cracker Barrel now.
01:04:47.000But I will assume that they are changing course.
01:04:50.000Apparently, according to the company, they've issued a statement, quote, If the last few days have shown us anything, it's how deeply people care about Cracker Barrel.
01:04:57.000We're truly grateful for your heartfelt voices.
01:04:59.000You've also shown us we could have done a better job sharing who we are and what we'll always be.
01:05:02.000What has not changed and what will never change are the values this company was built on when Cracker Barrel first opened in 1969.
01:05:08.000Hard work, family, scratch cooked food made with care, a place where everyone feels at home, no matter where you're from or where you're headed.
01:05:13.000That's the Cracker Barrel you'll always find.
01:05:15.000The things that people love most about our stores are not going anywhere.
01:05:17.000Rocking chairs on the veranda, a warm fire in the hearth, pegg games on the table, unique treasures in our gift shop and vintage Americana with antiques pulled straight from our warehouse in Lebanon, Tennessee.
01:05:26.000We love seeing how much you care about our old timer.
01:05:37.000So, you know, we'll see if they if they actually just go back to the original logo, probably they will probably they'll have they'll say it was an experiment.
01:05:46.000It didn't work and they'll go back to their original logo, I would imagine because it's so generic.
