Summary

Summaries generated with gmurro/bart-large-finetuned-filtered-spotify-podcast-summ .

Every few months, we get a No Kings protest every few months. By now, we re all familiar with the routine. Bored old people see these protests as an excuse to get out of the house or the nursing home, all while feeling like they re mounting a heroic defense against fascism. And young people, to the extent that they show up at all, collectively make a strong case for reopening the asylums, abolishing public schools, and enforcing the Communist Control Act. For lack of a better term, these protests are freak shows, the modern day equivalent of those old traveling circuses that put the most damaged, disabled, and otherwise dysfunctional people on full display. And like the freak shows of old, they re well-funded.

00:00:17 Well, now that we get a No Kings protest every few months,
00:00:20 it's easy to come to the conclusion that there's no reason to cover these demonstrations anymore.
00:00:25 By now, we're all familiar with the routine.
00:00:26 Bored old people see these protests as an excuse to get out of the house or the nursing home in many cases, all while feeling like they're mounting a heroic defense against fascism. 0.99
00:00:37 And young people, to the extent that they show up at all, collectively make a strong case for reopening the asylums, abolishing public schools and enforcing the Communist Control Act. 0.82
00:00:46 For lack of a better term, these protests are freak shows, the modern-day equivalent of those old traveling circuses that put the most damaged, disabled, and otherwise dysfunctional people on full display. 1.00
00:00:58 And like the freak shows of old, these No Kings protests, which turned into riots in some cases, are well-funded.
00:01:05 They're a whole industry, as we'll discuss in a moment.
00:01:07 But before we get into the sources of that funding and why it's a serious problem, we have to begin with a note of optimism.
00:01:13 After you see the footage of these protests, there's simply no other way to say it. 0.93
00:01:16 God has blessed us with truly pathetic and embarrassing enemies. 0.98
00:01:21 The activists who want to destroy Western civilization aren't even capable of putting 0.99
00:01:25 on a single event over one weekend in which they don't humiliate themselves.
00:01:30 And in that vein, the latest round of No Kings protests was, somehow against all odds,
00:01:35 a considerable downgrade from the No Kings rallies that preceded it.
00:01:40 Even with everything we've seen over the past year, this was the single most embarrassing
00:01:43 protest the left has organized in recent memory.
00:01:46 And for the record, the protest was called No Dictators in Hawaii, you know, so as not to offend the indigenous monarchy they used to have.
00:01:54 But for simplicity's sake, we'll just stick with the No Kings branding, even though the left can't even agree on that.
00:01:59 So take this scene from the Minneapolis No Kings protest, for example.
00:02:03 This is one of their emcees, a woman who's apparently a comedian. 1.00
00:02:07 And although you wouldn't know it from anything about her, but here's the rousing message that she delivered to the crowd.
00:02:15 Listen to this.
00:02:16 and the nation is watching the stream. I want people to know that if you want to act like
00:02:22 Minnesota or you think Minnesota is a model, what can I do? Well, you can check your ego
00:02:28 about what you want to do and listen to the leadership. And when they tell you what they
00:02:33 need done, you do that. And you pay enough attention to the amazing organizers who've
00:02:42 on the ground who actually have the information who've already done the work instead of starting
00:02:47 your own oftentimes you're like who's doing it it's like someone you just need to learn who and
00:02:53 then you need to be the pack mule in the fight that they have been doing and organizing because
00:02:58 let me tell you what what we need is pack mules because there's brilliant minds and brilliant
00:03:02 leaders in this community who oftentimes are putting up the folding chairs when they should
00:03:07 be literally strategizing because that's their strong suit so be the be the folding chairs
00:03:13 people be the i'll bring donuts people for the brilliant minds who are actually making this train
00:03:18 run now like every other clip i'm about to play this feels like it has to be satire but we've
00:03:27 checked it a million times and indeed uh it is very real as she stands at a podium that says no
00:03:32 kings, she declares to the masses, quote, what we need is pack mules who will do whatever the 0.99
00:03:39 leaders tell them to do. Quote, be the folding chairs, bring a, which I don't even know. I think
00:03:45 she meant breathe, bring, be the folding chair chairs, people like the people who bring folding
00:03:50 chairs, not actually be a folding chair yourself. Although maybe that, maybe she's saying, you know,
00:03:54 be a thing for other people who are better than you to sit on. She says, bring donuts to the
00:03:59 brilliant mind, brilliant minds whose brilliance you can't begin to comprehend. So the great lesson
00:04:05 of the No Kings movement, apparently, is that you need to exercise greater obedience to people
00:04:11 in authority. I mean, the fundamental position held by actual monarchists and No Kings protesters
00:04:17 is, it turns out, strikingly similar. I mean, the only real difference is that monarchists can
00:04:24 typically deliver their message in an eloquent and, you know, even inspiring way sometimes,
00:04:28 whereas the No Kings message is delivered through the nasally scolding tones of an ill-tempered, middle-aged, childless woman. 0.99
00:04:36 Now, as you may remember, one of the big knocks against the previous No Kings protests is that the whole No Kings message simply doesn't work coming from the left.
00:04:44 I mean, these are the same people who just a few years ago forced everyone to stay at home and take an experimental mRNA shot or else they'd lose their job,
00:04:53 caused trillions of dollars in economic damages with the COVID lockdowns,
00:04:57 which destroyed small businesses and prevented children from socializing or going to school.
00:05:01 This is damage that we still haven't remotely covered from.
00:05:05 And that's just one area in which the left has embraced authoritarianism.
00:05:09 We all remember the relentless social media censorship, the cancellation campaigns,
00:05:14 the forced indoctrination, on and on and on.
00:05:17 So, how exactly can these same people with a straight face claim to oppose authoritarianism with these No Kings protests?
00:05:26 Well, now, thanks to the No Kings protests this weekend, we have our answer. 1.00
00:05:30 The answer is, shut up and be a folding chair and a pack mule, you moron. 1.00
00:05:37 Don't you dare question us. 1.00
00:05:39 They don't actually oppose authoritarianism, obviously.
00:05:42 They just want to be the authoritarians.
00:05:44 That's what this is really about.
00:05:45 And that's why when they were asked why exactly they're protesting, none of these people have a decent answer.
00:05:52 A Daily Wire reporter named Brecca Stoll was on the ground at the D.C. No Kings protest and listened to what she was told.
00:06:02 Waking up every day as a black woman is such a political act. 0.99
00:06:05 So that in itself is exhausting, but like the fight never stops.
00:06:09 So protesting this, it's like, hey, I still have to do this.
00:06:15 So I can't wait until this is behind us and we don't have to worry about people dying in ICE custody.
00:06:24 We don't have to worry about losing our rights as women, as black people, as any marginalized group.
00:06:31 So got to represent.
00:06:33 Yeah. And how are those rights being taken away right now?
00:06:36 How are they being taken away right now?
00:06:38 Um, so literally just like I have teachers as friends and they are struggling to try
00:06:49 to educate our kids in classrooms.
00:06:52 Yeah.
00:06:53 So because of what this administration is doing, um, black women are pretty much being 1.00
00:07:03 murdered in medical professions where we go to seek medical care and that research is being
00:07:12 defunded. We have to make sure that we are putting in the work and stopping these things.
00:07:18 So she begins with the familiar refrain. She says that she's exhausted just from being a black 1.00
00:07:23 woman. This country is so racist against her that the simple act of being a black woman is courageous 0.92
00:07:28 and it exhausts her. And all these people, you know, we, they, they love to talk about how
00:07:33 exhausted they are, which is funny because they don't do anything. They don't work. They don't
00:07:38 contribute. They don't have kids or families. They don't have responsibilities. They just like
00:07:43 hang around, scroll, tick tock, join a protest every once in a while, and then announce that
00:07:47 they're utterly exhausted by a life that is in every way more luxurious and leisurely than the
00:07:52 life of royalty. Not that long ago, Egyptian pharaohs could not have even fathomed the level 0.99
00:07:58 of comfort that this exhausted woman enjoys. And then she tells us that, well, apparently
00:08:04 this is new. They're lining up black women in the hospitals and shooting them for no 1.00
00:08:10 reason. You know, she has 10 seconds to come up with one example of what she's protesting 1.00
00:08:14 against. And after thinking about it for a bit, she comes up with something that is
00:08:19 completely insane. Apparently, if you go to the hospital as a black woman and you've got 0.99
00:08:24 like appendicitis or something, they'll say, oh, right this way. And they'll lead you to the back 0.88
00:08:29 of the hospital where they immediately murder you. Now, of course, this is actually similar to
00:08:34 how healthcare really works in Canada, except that you're considerably more likely to get that
00:08:39 treatment as a white man than a black woman. That's not what she's talking about. In this
00:08:44 country, in reality, according to data hazard, 25% of black and Hispanic medical students
00:08:48 have below average scores on the MCAT, which is the test you need to take in order to get into
00:08:53 med school. Only around 3% of white and Asian medical students have scores that low. So no,
00:08:59 black people are not getting murdered in the medical profession. They're being allowed into 0.95
00:09:03 the profession when they clearly should be rejected in large numbers. And the problem is so bad now
00:09:09 that half of UCLA medical students are now failing basic tests. So a black woman's not going to get 1.00
00:09:15 murdered in the hospital, in this country anyway, but she might die from a medical mishap or 0.98
00:09:22 neglect. And if that happens, it's highly likely it's because she had a black doctor who was not 0.96
00:09:28 qualified for the position, but was put there because of DEI. But again, that's not what she's
00:09:32 talking about. By the way, you might've noticed that her shirt said castrate pedophiles. This was 0.93
00:09:38 the theme of the weekend. Democrats who endorsed the chemical and physical castration of children,
00:09:43 as well as the murder of children, both inside and outside the womb, had decided that their
00:09:47 political opponents are in fact a threat to minors. And it makes about as much sense as
00:09:52 the idea that medical schools are execution chambers for black people, but that's what 0.99
00:09:57 they're going with. Watch. 0.99
00:10:17 so you know it's a fun activity for uh the old woman she's getting some sun she's playing the 0.65
00:10:24 drum she's hanging out with some new people uh these women these old boomers like probably 1.00
00:10:29 doesn't have grandchildren or if she has grandchildren you know her kids hate her and
00:10:33 don't want to be around her uh that's that's a lot of what's fueling this these old people that 1.00
00:10:37 show up at these rallies is that either they're childless or more likely they had kids but 0.98
00:10:43 They're miserable, awful, selfish people, and their kids don't want to be around them. 0.98
00:10:47 And so they're totally alone, and this is how they fill their time. 0.99
00:10:51 But really, the whole protest is, you know, that's what this is about.
00:10:55 It's just an excuse for that, and we should be honest about that.
00:10:59 None of these people are remotely consistent or coherent.
00:11:02 None of them, as I've pointed out many times, were calling for the release of the Epstein files until Trump became president.
00:11:09 It's one of the most shameless things we've seen in politics.
00:11:12 And that's saying quite a lot is that we went through four years where none of these people, not one of them ever said, release the Epstein files.
00:11:22 They didn't even pretend to care about it until the moment Trump was in office.
00:11:26 And now it's the most important thing to them.
00:11:30 And, you know, the last guy in the little conga line there that we saw has a sign.
00:11:36 The last guy in the conga line has a sign that's totally unrelated to the Epstein files.
00:11:39 in case you missed it, his sign read, eat the rich, wash them down with ice, which like doesn't
00:11:47 even make sense. The metaphor makes no sense. What do you, because that would, you want to eat the
00:11:52 rich and wash them down with ice. So then ice is a good thing in that analogy, but you don't like
00:11:57 ice. So what are you trying to say? So this isn't really a protest about Kings at all. It's really
00:12:03 about ice and it's about rich people and it's about Epstein and it's about everything else.
00:12:07 So it's just a grab bag of every random leftist complaint.
00:12:11 No one really knows what it's about, which is why the one-on-one interviews with protesters were so entertaining unintentionally.
00:12:19 Here's another. Watch.
00:12:21 Why are you out protesting no kings?
00:12:23 Because I believe in the basic fundamental principles of our democracy.
00:12:28 And if we don't show up now when it's the most important time to show up, when we see those contract eroding, right?
00:12:36 our Constitution is a contract. And so to not show up at this critical moment is to abandon what
00:12:43 makes us amazing. Amazing. How is the Constitution eroding right now? Well, the the now I'm going to
00:12:52 sound like an idiot. So we have the. Oh, my God, I can't believe like I'm put on. All right. We have 1.00
00:13:03 the trump out there right now um uh pushing up against um protesters in major cities we have
00:13:11 minneapolis as a main show of that and the violence used against protesters within that
00:13:15 city so there's plenty of reasons i can go on and on and on but i can't because i'm in the middle of 0.98
00:13:20 a protest well she's right about sounding like an idiot at least and uh looking like one she's 0.99
00:13:28 dressed if you're just listening to the audio um there she's dressed like a banana 1.00
00:13:33 Why? I don't know. And this is one thing about leftist protests is that they like to wear
00:13:38 costumes that have nothing to do with what they're protesting. And maybe that's kind of a smart
00:13:43 strategy. Honestly, the left uses because they realize that if you want to have a successful
00:13:47 protest, it helps to mobilize bored, weird people. And I'm not saying that bored, weird people are
00:13:53 the only ones that go to protest. But I mean, if you can mobilize those people, you'll have a big
00:13:57 protest. And one way to get the bored, weird people out to any event is to say, hey, you can
00:14:03 wear a costume. What kind of costume should I wear? Anything. Whatever weird costumes you have
00:14:09 laying around because you're weird and you're bored, just throw it on and come on out. It's
00:14:13 a costume party. We'll give you a sign. Doesn't matter what it says. What are we protesting?
00:14:19 Doesn't matter. Just come on out. Put on your costume and let's go for a walk.
00:14:23 That's sort of what they do. But as we see there, as always, there's no self-reflection. There's
00:14:27 no realization that she's wasting her time. Instead, she comes up with the claim that Donald
00:14:31 Trump is a king because we have Trump out there right now pushing up against protesters in major
00:14:36 cities. And she makes this statement while she's at a protest in a major city, one of the many
00:14:42 similar protests occurring all over the country. So we have a king who doesn't allow protests.
00:14:47 And to prove that point, we're going to protest all over the place constantly in the most
00:14:52 obnoxious way possible. And the king's not going to do anything about it.
00:14:57 A pretty good indication you don't have a king, by the way, is if you can protest him, number one, all the time. 0.94
00:15:05 And they're marching through the streets calling Trump a pedophile.
00:15:09 And if he were anything like a king, go to a place that actually has a dictator. 0.87
00:15:18 Those exist in the world. There's plenty of them.
00:15:21 And march through the street with signs calling the dictator a pedophile. 0.90
00:15:26 and see what happens. 0.78
00:15:29 You're going to notice a distinct difference
00:15:31 between your treatment there and your treatment here.
00:15:34 But apparently the king only pushes up against protesters,
00:15:37 as she says, when they try to run over federal agents
00:15:40 with their SUV or when they violently attack
00:15:43 Border Patrol agents making an arrest.
00:15:46 And I need to emphasize that I'm not cherry-picking clips here.
00:15:49 Every single time one of these people was asked
00:15:51 to explain their worldview, it all fell apart.
00:15:53 and sometimes children are forcibly dragged into this nonsense as well which is the most tragic
00:15:59 part of it watch got mom and daughter i'm assuming correct and you are yes sir my name is melissa
00:16:06 group melissa and mia group mia we're gonna start with mia mia why are you out here um to protest
00:16:14 and get a make a better democracy and your sign this is a together sign i guess to explain your
00:16:22 together side mia um so it's supposed to be about like we get to make a statement and they just
00:16:33 silence us and they don't get to do that we have the right you have the right to do that mom
00:16:39 melissa just what does it mean for you to have your little one out here today and how important
00:16:44 is it for you well i have three girls and so it is so important to build a better future for them
00:16:51 We are here to be the light, not to squash it out.
00:16:54 And so it means everything to have my daughter with me.
00:16:56 Now, I'm looking at your signs.
00:16:57 Who put it together?
00:16:58 Whose idea was this?
00:16:59 Tell me.
00:17:00 This is your idea?
00:17:01 Tell me about it.
00:17:02 How'd you come up with this idea?
00:17:03 I just looked up some ideas, and I just put it together.
00:17:10 How does it feel to be her mom?
00:17:12 I am so incredibly proud.
00:17:13 And she has her own voice.
00:17:15 She's here because she wants to.
00:17:16 She knows it's the right thing.
00:17:17 It just means everything.
00:17:18 that I'm raising her to be the light, to be a future for all of us.
00:17:25 Yeah, it's always funny when the media does this,
00:17:27 when the little kids are dragged to these protests and the media shows up
00:17:31 and they're like, whoa, all these kids are here.
00:17:34 Why are you here?
00:17:35 Why did you come to this protest?
00:17:37 How did you get so involved?
00:17:39 Oh, because they were dragged there?
00:17:42 Because I'm forced to be here, my parent has taken me here,
00:17:47 and I'm a kid and I can't not be here.
00:17:49 It's because my parents put me in the car
00:17:51 and brought me here.
00:17:53 And so I'm here now.
00:17:55 That's basically why every kid is anywhere they are.
00:17:58 It's because their parents said,
00:18:00 you're going to be here now.
00:18:01 And so when you see a lot of kids at a protest,
00:18:03 it's because their parents said,
00:18:05 well, you're going to a protest.
00:18:09 Now, it's clear that the mother is happy
00:18:11 that her child is engaged in politics
00:18:12 and activism as an end itself.
00:18:14 She thinks it's good for someone to be protesting
00:18:16 as a general matter.
00:18:19 This is how we get colleges
00:18:20 full of angry,
00:18:20 chronically depressed
00:18:21 18-year-old students.
00:18:23 This is how we get
00:18:23 Antifa lawyers
00:18:24 who decide to firebomb
00:18:26 police cruisers.
00:18:27 And if you're going to
00:18:28 encourage your child
00:18:28 to be angry about
00:18:29 nothing in particular,
00:18:30 then they'll never be happy.
00:18:32 It's like one of the worst
00:18:33 things you can do to a child.
00:18:34 Inevitably,
00:18:35 you know,
00:18:36 the nightmare scenario
00:18:38 is that down the line
00:18:39 they turn out like this guy.
00:18:41 Watch.
00:18:43 Would you like J.D. Vance
00:18:44 to be the president then?
00:18:45 No, I would not.
00:18:46 Okay.
00:18:46 Yeah.
00:18:46 I would not.
00:18:47 Okay.
00:18:47 Who would you like to be the president? 0.94
00:18:50 Kamala Harris right now, but she didn't win. 1.00
00:18:52 But can I point out something that we say no kings and no authoritarianism, but Kamala
00:18:58 Harris, no one voted for her.
00:19:00 Yes, they did.
00:19:01 Half the country voted for her.
00:19:02 So no one was voted for her to be the nominee.
00:19:05 Yes, they did.
00:19:05 Isn't that what like authoritarian?
00:19:08 You're going down the wrong road right now with me.
00:19:09 I wouldn't go any further.
00:19:11 What does that mean?
00:19:11 I'm not going to talk to you anymore.
00:19:12 That's what it means.
00:19:13 I just think it's ironic that no one voted for her to be the nominee.
00:19:18 They just selected her like a king gets selected, right?
00:19:21 Keep it yourself, okay? Bye, have a good day.
00:19:24 See ya. Take care.
00:19:25 What's your other sign say?
00:19:26 You don't need to see it.
00:19:27 Okay.
00:19:31 I mean, I'm shocked.
00:19:33 I would have expected, you know, really fruitful dialogue with that guy. 0.80
00:19:38 I saw that guy, this fat old guy with orange face paint, 0.62
00:19:43 and a Burger King crown. I saw him and I thought, well, now we're going to get, this is going to be
00:19:50 good. Now we're going to have a real interesting intellectual dialogue with this guy. And then it
00:19:55 didn't happen. So I'm pretty surprised by that. And the moment that he's reminded that Kamala
00:19:59 Harris became the Democrat nominee without receiving a single vote, suddenly he doesn't
00:20:03 care about democracy or kings anymore. He just wants to run away as quickly as possible, which
00:20:08 is not that quick because, again, he's old and fat. 0.96
00:20:12 Now, moving right along, the Nate Friedman show spoke to an elderly white woman 0.95
00:20:15 who really stole the show in that respect. Watch.
00:20:19 It seems like there's a lack of diversity here today,
00:20:22 that it's mostly people who look like you and I. 0.83
00:20:23 This is not for black people, for people of color to get out on the street. 1.00
00:20:31 They're at risk when they do that. 1.00
00:20:33 If anybody's going to get arrested here, it's going to be a black person. 1.00
00:20:37 it is not safe for them and they don't need to participate we need to walk in 0.98
00:20:42 their name okay okay what do you think about voter ID do you think it's racist
00:20:48 it's a hundred percent a tactic to control the population and prevent
00:20:56 people from voting so that the only votes that so that the make so that the
00:21:00 gerrymandering can work so that white voters can vote in white christian males have you been voting
00:21:09 blue your most of your life i voted blue in the womb ah wonderful yeah uh if you had to vote for 0.99
00:21:15 republican jd vance or rubia which one would you pick if you had to yeah i would slit my throat
00:21:20 really yeah uh i mean these people they just make no attempt to form a coherent worldview at all
00:21:29 which is one of the things it's what's why it's impossible it's impossible to debate people that
00:21:33 have no interest in being coherent who are not coherent and aren't worried about it um it's just 0.94
00:21:40 it's impossible to have any kind of conversation so she says that you know black people can't go 0.87
00:21:44 out to the protest because they're the most likely to get shot or be arrested meanwhile they also tell
00:21:48 us though that alex preddy and renee good were murdered by ice agents which they weren't but
00:21:54 they were both white and so in that case then i mean if they were murdered then that means
00:21:59 that ICE chose two white people, even though it was a protest full of a bunch of quote unquote 0.92
00:22:05 people of color, uh, and, and murdered the white people instead. So I don't know, how do you make 0.96
00:22:09 all that work? She doesn't, she doesn't worry about it. Uh, but there's a lot to think about
00:22:13 here, starting with the idea that in her understanding, there are no black people 0.97
00:22:15 at these protests because all the black people are scared of getting arrested or shot by the 0.98
00:22:19 police. You know, black people totally want to go. They want to be a part of my event. They just, 0.99
00:22:25 they're too scared they're not as courageous as we talk about cope no there'd be more people here
00:22:32 it's just that they're not there i'm they're not as they're more scared than i am that's why
00:22:37 you know because they have a very high uh regard for this protest and the protesters they would 0.80
00:22:43 be there black people are definitely 100 she's telling us just as neurotic and bored as all the 1.00
00:22:49 elderly white women and deranged young communists who were at the protests but alas because it's 1.00
00:22:54 just too dangerous to go outside, the black people are staying at home, huddled in their panic rooms 1.00
00:22:59 while this brave woman takes the bullets for them. Now, not to rain on this woman's parade, but 0.99
00:23:05 this is how, you know, many black people actually respond when they're confronted with left-wing 0.96
00:23:11 hysteria and narcissism. Watch this. No thoughts. You guys are the foot soldiers of a fascist 0.95
00:23:18 regime, right? Is that not what it is? Is that funny? Is that funny?
00:23:30 See, the thing is, if you're an actual working class person, regardless of your race, with actual
00:23:35 responsibilities and a real job, you don't have time to play hero in a world of your own creation.
00:23:40 You're preoccupied with reality, not a fantasy that appeals to your narcissism, and you grow
00:23:45 to dislike people who let their delusions guide their life. Incidentally, this is one of the
00:23:50 reasons why gender insanity is unpopular among the vast majority of the black population, by 0.98
00:23:56 the way. And then there's her claim that if you want voter ID, then you're a bigot who only wants 0.97
00:24:03 white Christian males to vote because obviously only white Christian males are allowed to get 0.68
00:24:07 driver's licenses at the DMV. As anyone who's ever been to a DMV knows, they simply won't give you a
00:24:13 license if you're black, never mind the fact that like everyone who works there is black now. 0.99
00:24:17 As best I can tell, her whole worldview appears to be that black people are incapable of doing 0.99
00:24:21 anything, even getting a driver's license without getting shot by the police. And they need this 0.99
00:24:27 woman to do everything for them. Somebody should run a poll to see how black people feel about that. 1.00
00:24:32 I mean, it could be interesting. In the meantime, we've got to get back to clips from these protests
00:24:37 because as I said, there's quite a few of them. This is a woman who appears to be very concerned
00:24:41 about the number of dead cats in America, although she later clarifies that she's talking
00:24:46 about death camps. So a little bit different, but watch. No death camps on American soil.
00:24:55 Can I ask what you're saying? No death camps on American soil. No cats? No death cats. Okay. So
00:25:04 So that's why you're protesting today?
00:25:06 Yeah, because those camps are death camps.
00:25:11 So where are these camps at?
00:25:13 The Florida Keys, every building that they try to put ice camps, they're death camps!
00:25:33 If you can't see it, you are blind as a vet, like they did in Germany. 1.00
00:25:40 So you're saying they're at death camps in Florida?
00:25:43 Yeah.
00:25:48 Her vote counts.
00:25:49 Her vote counts, folks.
00:25:51 Her vote counts just as much as yours.
00:25:53 When you go to vote, she gets to cancel out your vote. 0.88
00:26:00 She has no clue.
00:26:01 She's totally confused.
00:26:03 There's no idea what's happening.
00:26:05 She doesn't know what country she's in. 0.93
00:26:07 It's just an insane person. 0.98
00:26:09 And she gets the vote.
00:26:11 After a while, if you watch enough of them,
00:26:13 these clips from the No Kings protests
00:26:14 start to resemble an episode of cops.
00:26:16 You know, you're seeing people
00:26:17 at the absolute low point of their existence on this earth.
00:26:20 Many of them are suffering
00:26:21 from some kind of profound issue in their lives.
00:26:23 And at some level, you wish they'd get some help.
00:26:27 You're concerned for them.
00:26:28 At the same time, in this case,
00:26:30 these people want power over your lives and the fate of Western civilization. The Democrat Party
00:26:35 and the corporate press are driving these people insane or more insane on purpose as a way to
00:26:40 secure their votes. So they have to be exposed. There's no way around it. And the moment they
00:26:44 commit crimes, which happens all the time, they need to suffer actual consequences. And for that
00:26:48 reason, I need to highlight this very sad scene that took place in Milford, New Hampshire over
00:26:53 the weekend, a man who goes by the name Sidewalk Steve. He's like Billboard Chris in that he
00:26:57 protest the castration sterilization of children in the name of gender ideology he was cornered by
00:27:01 a left-wing trans activist the trans activist wouldn't let sidewalk steve move even after the
00:27:06 police showed up and here's what happened next why don't you leave i would love to leave i would
00:27:13 love to leave i don't want to be here why don't you give her this face okay um she's following
00:27:22 Hey, you know what? No one gave you the authority to be king either. I'm not going to be pushed
00:27:31 around by her. I'm not going to be pushed around by you. You can hate crime all you want. Take
00:27:38 your hate crime. Take your hate speech. Go away. It's not easy. The Constitution doesn't cover hate speech.
00:27:46 I'm going to give you one more chance. I'm going to block you to stop. You're more than welcome to walk.
00:27:51 Please? She screams at us with a whistle. 1.00
00:27:56 I'm blocking his sign. He can move all he wants. I'm just gonna block the sign.
00:28:03 You know, you gotta leave us alone. This is harassment. You gotta leave him alone. 0.87
00:28:08 All right, I'll leave him alone by blocking the sign. That's it. You gotta leave me alone.
00:28:13 Leave us alone. Leave him alone. Do you know what you're asking? Yes. No, you don't. You're creative.
00:28:19 What is it? What does the sign say?
00:28:21 I have nothing to do with that.
00:28:24 I'm going to block the sign.
00:28:28 All right, turn around.
00:28:29 No, no, no.
00:28:34 There you go, that easy. 0.93
00:28:43 This is what should happen to every trans activist and Antifa terrorist 0.98
00:28:46 who prevents anyone, whether they're federal agents or private citizens,
00:28:48 from using streets and sidewalks.
00:28:50 They have no right to do that.
00:28:51 The left has gotten far too comfortable doing this
00:28:53 because they've been allowed to do it for so long.
00:28:56 Throwing them down and arresting them
00:28:57 is actually the moderate option.
00:28:59 When you block people from going somewhere,
00:29:01 you're effectively kidnapping them.
00:29:03 And we need to start taking that seriously
00:29:04 or else it will get much worse.
00:29:06 It already has gotten much worse.
00:29:08 What you're seeing in these clips
00:29:09 is what most of the Democrat coalition has become.
00:29:11 It's a collection of people
00:29:12 who aren't doing well psychologically
00:29:15 and who have absolutely no idea
00:29:18 what they actually want.
00:29:19 So far, we've talked about how the No Kings protests
00:29:21 are about democracy, trans ideology, racism,
00:29:24 the Epstein files, being a pack mule, 0.94
00:29:27 the mass murder of black medical students.
00:29:30 On top of that, the No Kings protests 0.74
00:29:32 were also apparently about climate change
00:29:34 and ceding the sovereignty of the United States
00:29:36 to Indians.
00:29:37 Watch.
00:29:42 The emotions are rising.
00:29:44 Fires raging on the hill
00:29:50 Fires raging
00:29:53 The rich keep giving tax cuts
00:29:57 While we put the bill
00:30:00 We stand in solidarity with our indigenous siblings
00:30:13 knowing that the U.S. will never be free
00:30:16 until the stewardship of this land
00:30:19 is returned to its indigenous peoples.
00:30:26 Thank you.
00:30:30 Now, last clip is from Boston Common.
00:30:32 It's one of the most expensive areas in the city,
00:30:34 just a few minutes from Harvard.
00:30:36 The land is very desirable, to put it mildly,
00:30:38 so you have to wonder how long it takes
00:30:40 for some Indian tribes to accept this offer
00:30:41 and take control of the land.
00:30:43 if it happened in Vancouver, it can happen in Boston. All it takes is one ruling from a judge
00:30:48 and the rich leftists in Boston, you know, they're begging for it. Meanwhile, in New York,
00:30:53 the No Kings protests were explicitly about a communist revolution. We'll put a video of this
00:30:59 on the screen. You see, unlike the USSR or China or North Korea or Cuba or any other communist 0.63
00:31:03 government in history, apparently we're going to be the first communist country where there's no
00:31:07 ruling party that seizes control and tells everyone else what to do. We're going to be the
00:31:12 We're going to be the first nice communism where it works out well for everyone.
00:31:17 The first ones to ever do it.
00:31:19 We're going to live in a communist utopia.
00:31:21 Everyone else that's tried a communist utopia has just resulted in mass death by the millions.
00:31:26 But not for us.
00:31:27 It's going to work this time. 1.00
00:31:30 All we need to do is hand over power to these morons who can't even organize a weekend of protests 1.00
00:31:35 or answer a single question in an interview. 1.00
00:31:38 As always, Canada gives us a preview of what that kind of dysfunction would look like.
00:31:42 One of Canada's major parties, the NDP, just held a nominating convention, and here's how it went.
00:31:48 Privilege on microphone one, then we'll go to microphone three.
00:31:51 Go ahead, delegate.
00:31:53 Yes, hello.
00:31:54 I was standing here with my gender equity card before you called on the previous speaker.
00:31:58 That's my point of privilege that I would like to raise.
00:32:00 I will explain the speaking order, which is fixed, that I cannot amend, which is the pro-con rotation.
00:32:05 You can move yourself up a line that you're standing in.
00:32:08 I am pro, and I was...
00:32:11 We went...
00:32:12 You went pro, con, pro.
00:32:14 We went pro, con, pro, and my plan was to go con.
00:32:18 The speaker at Con Mic 3 also has a speaking card.
00:32:22 Yesterday, this card was used in an inappropriate matter.
00:32:27 And while I understand in Ontario we know this as equity,
00:32:30 even if that, this was also used inappropriate in terms of gender.
00:32:35 I want everyone to be mindful that these cards for individuals like myself who identify as a
00:32:41 black woman have no value outside of this space. Early on the mic, it's hard as a racialized and 1.00
00:32:49 transgender delegate to sometimes use this card and speak up, speak to somebody in front of me
00:32:54 in line and ask, hey, this pertains to multiple intersecting parts of my lived experience. I'd
00:32:59 like to speak. I was rejected when I talked. And it's frustrating when these are my rights being
00:33:06 directly under attack right now in Alberta and that a cisgender woman had spoken over me. And
00:33:14 I understand her rights are important too. This pertains to her too. But I don't know. I hope
00:33:21 that in the future the federal NDP will also have a broader interpretation of the equity cards for
00:33:27 speakers that's all thank you of the legacy of blood that was built in Iraq 1.00
00:33:32 in Palestine and now in Iran this is a no question debate I call this question
00:33:39 Adam and chairs thank you
00:33:45 your points quite well made speaker I'll again thank delegates not to call me
00:33:52 madam chair who met on the president's I'm a non-binary person my pronouns are
00:33:56 they, them, and their chair is sufficient. They literally waved race cards around called equity
00:34:02 cards, which determine who was able to speak. In Canada, playing the race card is not a metaphor.
00:34:07 I mean, it's how they run their political conventions. And as you'd expect, the whole
00:34:10 thing fell apart pretty quickly. See, narcissists are obsessed with playing the victim because it's
00:34:14 an easy way to explain why their lives are terrible. They can look around and say, it's not
00:34:19 my fault. I'm perfect. Everyone else is oppressing me. What the left has done is establish a political
00:34:24 movement that's designed to attract this kind of person. And when these losers gather together, 0.98
00:34:28 at the same time, they all race to play the victim and hilarity ensues. Even the chairwoman, 0.99
00:34:35 as you saw, had to get in on the action. Now, going back to the No Kings protest,
00:34:40 if you guess that these people are well-funded, you're correct. And you won't be surprised where
00:34:45 the funding is coming from. Here's a report from Fox News, quote, a network of about 500 groups
00:34:50 with an estimated $3 billion in combined annual revenues
00:34:53 is behind the coordinated nationwide No Kings protests
00:34:55 on Saturday, including communist groups
00:34:57 who are using the day to call for a revolution,
00:34:59 according to a Fox Digital News investigation.
00:35:01 According to a copy of the permit
00:35:03 for the flagship march in St. Paul, Minnesota,
00:35:06 Indivisible, a national well-heeled
00:35:09 democratic political advocacy organization
00:35:11 funded by billionaire George Soros, of course,
00:35:14 is the lead coordinator for the protest.
00:35:16 But Fox News Digital has also identified
00:35:18 key participation by a network of radical socialists and communist organizations funded by
00:35:22 Neville Roy Singham, an American tech tycoon and avowed communists living in China. Over nearly a
00:35:30 decade, Singham has financed a constellation of activist institutions that promote revolutionary
00:35:36 socialist politics and frequently collaborate and protest campaigns. So to recap, the enemies of
00:35:42 conservatism and of Western civilization, more importantly, are incoherent, deranged, disorganized, 0.96
00:35:46 violent and unintelligent. Can't even tell you what they're even protesting for. At the same time,
00:35:53 they're also very well funded and some of their money is coming from communists living in China,
00:35:57 apparently with the goal of causing disruption in American politics. In other words, now is the
00:36:02 perfect time for the Republican Party to crush these people. On the show, we've already talked
00:36:06 about the fake nonprofits that were funding the anti-ice operations in Minneapolis and how these
00:36:12 kinds of nonprofits are the backbone of Democrat Party activism. And now we're learning that some
00:36:16 of these Democrat-run organizations might be taking money from China. A lot of the cash that's
00:36:22 contributing to the radicalization of Americans, including many very dumb and mentally disturbed 1.00
00:36:27 Democrats, is coming from abroad. So at a minimum, we need investigations. We need to learn whether 0.99
00:36:31 and to what extent any foreign government is behind the funding of the No Kings protests and
00:36:36 riots. We need to shut down any non-profits that are functioning like the arm of the Chinese 1.00
00:36:41 government or the Democrat Party. What's the difference anymore? We need some kind of lawful
00:36:46 and decisive action that will disrupt the anti-American, pro-communist organizations 0.98
00:36:51 that are intent on destroying this country by turning complete losers and degenerates 0.98
00:36:56 into its foot soldiers. Republicans could do all of this. Instead, they're basically 0.99
00:37:01 not doing anything. I mean, Republicans in the Senate just made huge concessions to the
00:37:06 Democrats concerning ICE and border security at the end of last week. Then they refused
00:37:10 to debate the SAVE Act, which is not going to pass, even though 85 percent of Americans support
00:37:16 it. So you can forget about voter ID and secure elections going forward. And then, having failed
00:37:22 to do their jobs, Republicans fled to the airport, flanked by private security that took them
00:37:27 straight to the front of the TSA lines that everyone else has to suffer through. And all
00:37:31 this is happening while Republicans are continuing to block Trump from making recess appointments.
00:37:36 We've talked about this before, but it bears repeating. When Congress isn't in session for
00:37:40 10 days or longer, the president can make important appointments by himself without
00:37:43 approval from the Senate. If Congress, which is controlled by Republicans, went into recess for
00:37:48 10 days, then Trump could fill hundreds of executive branch positions and even federal
00:37:53 judicial positions. It wouldn't exactly be unprecedented. Obama had something like 32
00:37:57 recess appointments. But Trump's own party is preventing him from making these recess appointments
00:38:02 by holding pro forma sessions that prevent the 10 day timer from completing. They show up to
00:38:08 congress uh gavel in a session and then leave a few minutes later all to prevent trump from
00:38:13 making an appointment this is what these sessions look like this is the whole thing from beginning
00:38:18 to end watch the house will be in order the chair lays before the house a communication from the
00:38:26 speaker the speaker's rooms washington dc august 8th 2025 i hereby appoint the honorable mike
00:38:38 Kelly to act as speaker pro tempore on this day.
00:38:41 Signed, Mike Johnson,
00:38:43 Speaker of the House of Representatives.
00:38:48 The prayer will be offered.
00:38:50 Thank you, Reverend.
00:38:52 Pursuant to clause 13 of rule one,
00:38:54 the journal of the last day's proceedings is approved.
00:38:58 No due, the Pledge of Allegiance.
00:39:01 Pursuant to clause 13 of rule one,
00:39:03 the house stands adjourned until 9 a.m.
00:39:06 on Tuesday, August the 12th, 2025.
00:39:13 The Senate will come to order.
00:39:15 The clerk will read a communication to the Senate.
00:39:19 Washington, D.C., August 8th, 2025.
00:39:22 To the Senate, under the provisions of Rule 1,
00:39:24 Paragraph 3 of the standing rules of the Senate,
00:39:27 I hereby appoint the Honorable Bernie Marino...
00:39:29 This is what Republicans are doing at the moment
00:39:32 when Democrats are obviously vulnerable.
00:39:34 Republicans are sabotaging the leader of their own party.
00:39:37 They're preventing him from carrying out the will of the voters,
00:39:39 and they certainly aren't worried about the government shutdown
00:39:41 or the No Kings riots or any of that.
00:39:44 TMZ just posted this picture of Lindsey Graham vacationing at Disney World.
00:39:49 Now, by law, of course, childless adult men should be banned 0.99
00:39:52 from getting within 500 feet of Disney World.
00:39:55 But as you can see, Lindsey Graham is having the time of his life.
00:39:59 He's far away from Washington.
00:40:00 So are the rest of the so-called Republican leaders in Congress.
00:40:03 how do we account for this how does a political party with control of congress and the white 0.75
00:40:08 house with an opposition that's melting down all over the country as the department of homeland
00:40:13 security remains unfunded respond and in the middle of a war by going on vacation it's not
00:40:20 crazy to conclude that with the midterms approaching and the war in iran looking more
00:40:24 and more like a drawn-out campaign probably because i've just given up not interested in
00:40:29 governing, not interested in protecting Americans from these lunatics or advancing our interests in
00:40:34 any way. If there's anything we can learn from the No Kings protests and riots this weekend,
00:40:39 it's that Democrats don't have the capacity or intelligence to lead, but if Republicans get
00:40:43 their way, these Democrats will indeed take power. And while Lindsey Graham and John Thune are on a
00:40:50 permanent vacation, we will be left to deal with the consequences on our own. Now let's get to our
00:40:58 five headlines. My show is proud to be supported by Grand Canyon University. It's an affordable,

00:42:30 especially because, well, I mean, everyone knows how I feel about childless people who go to 1.00
00:42:35 Disney World, especially when they're supposed to be senators. But, you know, on top of everything
00:42:40 else, the situation in our airports is not fixed. Okay, it's not fixed. I can tell you that from
00:42:48 from very recent experience. And yet these people are just going on vacation.
00:42:54 Like I just got home late last night, flew home from Florida where I was speaking at an event.
00:43:00 It was a great event, a fundraising event for community pregnancy clinics, pro-life pregnancy
00:43:04 center in Florida. And that was great. Flying there and back was not so great. It was not great
00:43:10 at all. I have to say. And in fact, we had a, because this is what flying is now. This is what
00:43:15 the air travel experience is now. It has been for a while. And it's miserable. We had a layover,
00:43:23 a connecting flight. Our first flight was delayed on the tarmac, which is like, in my experience
00:43:29 anyway, especially over the last month of flying, it's like every flight is delayed on the tarmac.
00:43:34 And so we're delayed on the tarmac. We make it to our connecting airport. We missed the flight,
00:43:40 the connecting flight, looked into rebooking, but the next flight out of the airport was also
00:43:47 delayed by two hours. So ultimately we decided to get a car and drive it. There was five hours
00:43:52 remaining to our destination. The whole thing was like a thousand miles or something, but
00:43:56 two thirds of the way into we had a connecting flight. And, um, and it was about five, another
00:44:01 five hours by car to get home. And so we, uh, we took a car because that's how bad air travel is
00:44:08 in the country now. Driving five hours is faster than what was supposed to be like a one-hour
00:44:13 flight. It's some kind of mathematical paradox. What's longer, a one-hour flight or a five-hour
00:44:22 drive? That should be the easiest math problem in the world. Well, the thing that's five is more,
00:44:30 So that's longer. Nope. Nope. Turns out not. Air travel is so bad. It sucks so much. I've been
00:44:40 flying regularly for 15 years. I'm on planes all the time, airports all the time. The quality of
00:44:45 the experience has declined steadily. It's now at rock bottom. It does matter. Okay. So for anyone's
00:44:50 whiny, you're complaining. Sure, I am. But it also matters. And it's not just the TSA lines,
00:44:56 which are still really bad. I mean, they've been fixed in some places, but I've seen it myself.
00:45:01 They're still really bad in a lot of places. And that's not even a, just that's, that is merely a
00:45:07 fraction of the problem. Okay. TSA lines. Yes. Also flight delays, air traffic control issues.
00:45:13 I had a flight a couple of weeks ago. We were on the tarmac for two hours. Three hour flight
00:45:17 becomes five hours. Incredibly common. You get to let delays on the other end too. Even after you
00:45:22 land. I mean, we had a few months ago, we landed, we pulled into our gate. We were at our gate. We
00:45:26 had, we had arrived. Okay. You'd think, okay, we're finally home. Like we're here. We're at
00:45:31 the gate. This, this is now finally, this is nothing could go wrong now. Right. We're the
00:45:37 plane is parked and we're here. Gate C3, let's go. And we were delayed at the gate for an hour
00:45:46 waiting for someone in the airport to come move the jet bridge so we could get off the plane.
00:45:54 We were an hour just sitting there so someone would open the door.
00:46:00 And again, this is the air travel experience. They find new ways to make it miserable.
00:46:05 Meanwhile, the airports themselves are mostly grimy and gross and always crowded.
00:46:09 The service is terrible. The food is bad. Many of the passengers are obnoxious and gross and
00:46:14 disheveled. Everyone has their dogs with them. It's like a flying petting zoo. And did I mention 0.92
00:46:19 the service? The service is really bad. I should emphasize that point. Last night, before we got
00:46:26 into the car to leave, what was supposed to be our connecting airport, we're leaving. We had our
00:46:31 baggage. We had to figure out what's going on with the bag. We went to the baggage claim office.
00:46:34 The woman at the desk doesn't look up, doesn't look up from her phone for the first two minutes
00:46:39 of the... I mean, she really, she's looking down at her phone. I walk up to the desk
00:46:43 and she's looking down at her phone.
00:46:45 Yeah, can I help you?
00:46:47 Yeah, what do you need?
00:46:48 Doesn't look up for two minutes.
00:46:49 Just looking at the phone.
00:46:52 Then she finally sort of vaguely pays attention,
00:46:54 tells us that our bags aren't there.
00:46:56 They said, well, we're leaving.
00:46:59 We're not going to get on our flight.
00:47:00 We missed our flight because can we have our bags?
00:47:03 Can you give us our bags, please?
00:47:04 Is there any way you could give us our bags
00:47:06 before we leave this airport that's five hours away?
00:47:09 And she says, oh, well, your bags made it on the other flight.
00:47:11 So it's too late.
00:47:12 your bags are on that flight. I said, how do they make it on the other flight? We landed five
00:47:17 minutes before the flight took off. I mean, I've had layovers that were an hour and the bags didn't
00:47:21 make it. You're telling me the bags made it in five minutes and they can't make it in an hour?
00:47:24 How are they on the plane? What did they do? Did the other plane drive, fly next to it and
00:47:31 throw the bags over? How is that even possible? She says, well, nothing you can do. You have to
00:47:36 call the 800 number and we'll figure out how to get your back. So we get in the car, we drive,
00:47:41 called the 800 number and they tell us, oh no, your bags were actually at that airport. We're
00:47:45 45 minutes away now. We're in the car. And they said, oh no, your bags were there the whole time.
00:47:49 It's because the woman we were talking to didn't actually look. She pretended to look in the
00:47:53 computer. She didn't because she couldn't be bothered. And so, because she's too busy scrolling
00:47:56 TikTok or whatever. But this is what it is. By the way, the woman in front of me on my flight
00:48:03 yesterday had two small dogs with her, little tiny dogs, two of them, two of them, two dogs.
00:48:09 flight attendant comes over says are those service animals and she said yeah yeah it's like no
00:48:15 they're not they're clearly not they're the size of like a shoe and there's two of them
00:48:21 how can they both be service animals is one the service animal for the other do you have like a
00:48:27 blind dog that's your service animal and then you need a seeing dog that is the service animal for 0.69
00:48:33 the blind one how can they both be service animals they're definitely not they're obviously not what 0.92
00:48:38 service could an animal that weighs three pounds possibly provide you? So we all know that.
00:48:48 Like the woman knows she's full of it. The flight attendant knows it. Everyone in the 0.99
00:48:53 plane knows that like, this is clearly not, these are not service animals. You just have your pets
00:48:58 with you and nothing is done about it. So, and so am I complaining? Yes, I am, but it does matter.
00:49:05 You know why it matters? Because this is quality of life. And the quality of life has gotten worse in measurable ways. And that matters. Why wouldn't it? If the quality of your life doesn't matter, what does? What matters if your quality of life doesn't matter? Does anything else matter? The quality of the life that you're living matters. That's the whole point of civilization, really, when it comes down to it, is quality of life. Quality of life doesn't matter. Then what are we doing with the whole civilization thing? Who cares? Let's all just go live in the woods and eat bugs or whatever.
00:49:35 whatever. Like the only reason it matters is to, is to, for quality of life. And so when that
00:49:40 declines as it has been, it actually matters and it's fixable. And that's the thing that's
00:49:45 so frustrating is that these problems are fixable. They are so fixable. It doesn't have to be like
00:49:51 this. Starting with the dog thing. It's like, no, you can't like, here are a couple of valid
00:49:56 reasons why you can have a dog on a plane. And if it's not one of those reasons, then you can't
00:50:00 have one. And when someone comes and says, but I really want to have both of my dogs,
00:50:05 sorry, you can't. What are they going to do? Shoot you? I mean, maybe some of them will,
00:50:10 but I mean, that's a price worth paying. Okay. We deal with the crazy people are going to
00:50:16 overreact. It's a price worth paying so that the rest of us can live in a civilized society.
00:50:22 You're just basic standards. If you have someone at an airport who's really bad and like they don't
00:50:26 even look up from their phone while they're dealing with customers. They're terrible at their
00:50:31 job. They're awful. They hate their customers. Fire them. You could just fire them. You can do 1.00
00:50:37 that. And then they're going to be sad and they're going to say, why are you firing me? I'm mad.
00:50:42 Because you're terrible. You suck. Leave. And you could just do that. So there's a lot of things 1.00
00:50:48 that can be done to fix these problems and they're not done. And meanwhile, and not all these are
00:50:53 problems that can be fixed by the government. Some of them are. And the government has already
00:50:57 intruded itself quite a bit into the flying experience. Okay. We got to get strip searched
00:51:02 by the, by freaking government agents just to get them on a plane. And so you can't, you can't do
00:51:06 that. And then, and then, and then politicians want to wipe their hands with the rest of it and
00:51:09 say, there's nothing we could do. What are you talking about? We have to go through a freaking
00:51:15 X-ray, a government X-ray to get on the plane. Like you're already involved. 0.82
00:51:23 Quality of life, it does matter. And there's things that could be done that are not being done.
00:51:29 And meanwhile, our elected leaders are off in Disney World having a vacation. So if that doesn't
00:51:35 piss you off, I don't know what will. Most people walk around every day tired and irritable because
00:51:40 they've been sleeping on a garbage mattress for a decade. Well, if that's you waking up with back

00:52:31 we do that? This is good news that hasn't gotten nearly enough attention if you ask me. Space.com
00:52:36 reports NASA continues to target Wednesday for the launch of the Artemis 2 mission to fly astronauts
00:52:44 around the moon. It says teams are tracking zero technical issues leading up to the liftoff
00:52:48 window. So this could still change. It's a day away, a couple of days away. But as of right now,
00:52:54 the plan is to launch this mission, which is going to go around the moon. It'll be a mission
00:52:58 that sends people, sends humans farther from the earth than they've ever been before. It'll be 0.99
00:53:03 deeper into space than human beings have ever gone. And here's the NASA administrator on Fox
00:53:09 News talking about it. How exciting is it that we finally arrived at this point where American 0.98
00:53:17 astronauts and a Canadian astronaut are getting ready to embark on this journey to return
00:53:22 astronauts to the surface of the moon? President Trump created the Artemis program during his
00:53:27 first term. It was the first meaningful step since the Kennedy era of getting back to the moon.
00:53:32 He then created a massive plus up investment in NASA in the one big, beautiful bill. And now
00:53:38 Artemis 2 is on the launch pad. This mission, these astronauts, about 8.8 million pounds of
00:53:44 thrust, are going to launch on a trajectory around the moon. They're going to go potentially farther
00:53:49 into space than anyone's ever gone before, about 250,000 miles away from Earth. They're going to
00:53:55 test out their spacecraft. Ten days later, they come back to Earth. In 2027, we're going to launch
00:54:01 another moon rocket. This time, we're going to test out the spacecraft plus the lunar landers
00:54:05 and make sure that works really well.
00:54:07 And then in 2028, under President Trump's term,
00:54:10 we're going to land those landers on the moon.
00:54:12 American astronauts, NASA astronauts,
00:54:14 are going to return to the lunar surface.
00:54:17 So that's the plan.
00:54:18 They do this launch, go around the moon
00:54:19 farther than humans have ever gone before,
00:54:21 then launch the test, you know, test the landers.
00:54:25 And then in 2027, 2028, land humans on the moon again.
00:54:31 Trump is obviously motivated to move this along
00:54:34 because he wants to be the president when humans go back to the moon, which he should. That's a
00:54:39 good goal. That's a good goal for a president to have. That's a good ambition for a president to
00:54:44 have. And it's huge. This is historic. It's actually historic. It's a landmark moment for
00:54:49 the human species. And you know how I feel about this. I'm incredibly excited about it. And I
00:54:54 insist, I demand, I demand that everyone else be excited too. I don't get offended easily. I am
00:55:02 offended by people who are not excited that actually does offend it offends and baffles me
00:55:06 like it's hard to fathom how impoverished a person must be in mind and spirit to not see
00:55:13 the what is so amazing about this to not see the value in this the meaning in it
00:55:19 uh in space exploration in doing something that people have never done before
00:55:24 um you know there's the complaints that it's expensive it's expensive it's billions and
00:55:31 billions of dollars. Okay. So do you have any idea how much money we waste on the dumbest
00:55:40 bull you can possibly imagine? Like I'd rather spend billions of dollars on rocket ships and 0.99
00:55:47 lunar bases than on the stuff we waste money on every day. What about buying junk food for fat
00:55:54 people? What would you rather spend? You know how many billions, you know how many billions of 0.70
00:56:00 we've spent just on that alone? How many billions have we spent over the last 20 years
00:56:07 just on buying Doritos and Oreos for fat people? I'm telling you, it's in the billions for sure.
00:56:17 Personally, I'll take the rocket ships. I don't know about you. I'll take the rocket ships over
00:56:21 the fat people at Food Lion with carts full of junk food that we're paying for. I'll take the
00:56:29 rocket ships. I don't know about you. I think that's a better use of our money.
00:56:35 Western civilization has always been marked by its curiosity about the universe, its desire to grow,
00:56:41 to expand, to explore. That's always been what's made us great. Talk about make America great again.
00:56:50 Make America, like this, if make America great again is your motto, then yeah, going back to
00:56:56 the moon, like relaunching the space program in earnest. That's certainly part of it because
00:57:02 when America was great, we were doing stuff like that. Uh, none of us would exist if not
00:57:10 for Western civilizations, hunger and curiosity and adventurous spirit. And we've lost that
00:57:14 spirit in recent years and we have to reclaim it. We have to. And you know, yet this launch
00:57:20 is happening and it's getting very little attention. Uh, the reaction has been kind
00:57:24 of lukewarm, let's face it. And what you hear from some people is they'll say, and I was having
00:57:30 this conversation with someone today who said on social media, who said that, well, there are more
00:57:35 important things to worry about. We've got more important things to worry about. And they'll
00:57:40 pretend that they're just so focused on the issues of greater importance that they don't have the
00:57:44 mental real estate to devote to this historic space flight. And a guy said this to me today
00:57:50 on X. And I just, just out of curiosity, I looked at his page for two seconds. I saw his most recent
00:57:55 tweet was about March Madness. He said, he said, we don't have time for all this, Matt. You're so
00:57:59 focused on these silly things like space flight. You know what? We got bigger problems. I don't 0.91
00:58:04 have time to think about it. And then you go look at like the most recent thing he was talking about
00:58:07 is March Madness is great. Look at these people playing basketball. This is amazing. Sports are
00:58:14 fun. Like I like sports. I actually think sports are important in their own way. I've made that
00:58:18 case many times. I got no issue with somebody talking about sports, but you can't talk about
00:58:22 sports and spend hours of your time watching people throw balls into little hoops and then
00:58:28 tell me that space flight is a waste of time. You can't do that. Meanwhile, uh, what were people
00:58:38 talking about on social media over the last few days? That guy clavicular shot an alligator.
00:58:43 I, you know, I don't even, I was kind of checked out over the weekend in terms of the news.
00:58:48 because I was doing this event,
00:58:50 checked in a couple of times.
00:58:51 One of the only things I,
00:58:52 just based on like quickly scanning my feed,
00:58:55 one of the only things I know about that happened
00:58:57 is that somebody called Clavicular shot an alligator
00:59:00 because that was so many people were talking about it.
00:59:04 Or, you know, Harry Potter has a new HBO series coming out.
00:59:09 And so what you have is you have people talking about that,
00:59:12 right?
00:59:14 Space flight is not important at all.
00:59:17 We don't have time to worry about this.
00:59:18 Hey, did you hear the clavicular shot an alligator?
00:59:23 I don't know.
00:59:23 I mean, again, if you ask me,
00:59:27 I think the spaceflight thing is more important for the human species
00:59:31 and really a lot more interesting.
00:59:36 How much attention have we given to Savannah Guthrie's mom going missing?
00:59:40 Now, all due respect to Savannah Guthrie and to her mother,
00:59:43 I feel sorry for them.
00:59:44 It's an unfortunate situation.
00:59:45 I don't mean to be flimping about it,
00:59:47 but so much time is spent on that.
00:59:51 It's like, and I spent the whole time
00:59:53 trying to figure out like,
00:59:54 why does this matter this much?
00:59:56 I mean, again, I feel bad about it.
00:59:58 It's a bad thing.
01:00:00 People are murdered every day in this country.
01:00:03 Kidnappings happen every single day.
01:00:04 It's terrible.
01:00:06 Why is this one so important?
01:00:07 Why is it national news for months?
01:00:11 Why?
01:00:14 And yet it is.
01:00:15 Most people are absorbed into it.
01:00:18 And yet America doing something that human beings have never done before is somehow not interesting.
01:00:25 This is the United States of America doing something the human species has never, ever done.
01:00:33 They're going to go to a place that human beings have never been.
01:00:38 Americans will do this. 0.93
01:00:42 If you can't get excited about that, I don't know what to tell you.
01:00:45 now we know for the media we know what their we know what their excuse is right that's that's not
01:00:51 confusing to me at all we know the media is they're reporting on and all that kind of stuff
01:00:54 but they're not they are not giving this the kind of focus and attention it deserves and the reason
01:00:59 is that it's trump doing it obviously and so they're i mean the media was more interested in
01:01:05 katie perry going to the edge of space for 12 seconds than they are in this a lot more interested
01:01:14 and uh and we know the reason for that but and i don't care about that because we don't need the
01:01:20 media we don't need the media pay attention but all the rest of us like normal people americans
01:01:24 if you love your country this is just something that should matter to you it really should
01:01:29 the legacy media holds americans like us in contempt coverage on any issue from immigration
01:01:34 to crime accuses you not the criminals of being the ones really at fault but my friends at prager

01:02:32 All right. Finally, very quickly, here's some actual good news. Actual good news. Because I said that was good news, but then we ended up focusing on the part of it that isn't so good. So this part is good.
01:02:46 So Axios says this. Some top Democrats are quietly debating a fraught question, whether the party's best bet for winning back the presidency in 28 is to nominate a man, perhaps a straight white Christian man.
01:02:59 The fear divulged with dismay and group chats at cocktail parties and increasingly in public is that parts of the electorate are too biased to support a woman or other diverse candidate for president.
01:03:09 So this makes me happy here. This this this is the good news is that our opponents kind of like bringing it back full circle to the beginning.
01:03:16 Our opponents are so dumb. They're so dumb. And they're learning all the wrong lessons. And that's 1.00
01:03:20 fantastic. You know, they go out and find the two least likable women on the entire planet, 1.00
01:03:27 the two most viscerally unappealing members of the female sex. They run them. And then when 1.00
01:03:35 nobody likes them, they conclude that nobody will ever vote for a woman or a minority at all. So
01:03:40 they have to just run a white man. And somehow they conclude this even after Barack Obama
01:03:45 already won the presidency twice. A majority of Americans voted for a non-white person twice
01:03:53 already recently. But the fact that Kamala Harris, a woman who can't speak, 1.00
01:03:59 a woman with the charisma and intelligence of a plastic bag, the fact that she lost means that
01:04:05 nobody who isn't white and isn't male can ever win. That's great. I mean, 0.95
01:04:10 it really is indicative of how people think these days. You know, this is like the internet brain.
01:04:17 So somebody does something, Barack Obama wins the presidency, black guy wins. Then a few years 1.00
01:04:23 later, a black woman loses and they go, oh, well, I guess that means a black person could never win. 0.97
01:04:29 So they just, they draw sweeping generalized conclusions based on whatever the most recent 0.59
01:04:34 personal anecdotal experience was it's it's like a version of the thing this the thing you see
01:04:41 online all the time like for example i was complaining about the air travel thing on x
01:04:46 this woman responds and said i'm not lying this is what she says i'm not not kidding
01:04:50 i'm talking about my own experience and she says uh matt is lying my husband flies all the time
01:04:59 and he says it's fine. So the fact that I had a bad experience is disproven by the fact that
01:05:07 her husband had a good experience. The fact that I had, no, you're lying. That didn't happen to you
01:05:14 because this other thing over here happened to this person I know. And there's no way that two
01:05:20 different things happened. There's no way that in the world, two experiences were different and
01:05:27 happened around the same time. That's not possible. So it's a, it's a little bit of that.
01:05:34 It's a little bit, it's kind of the same mentality going on. And some of it, let's face it. Some of
01:05:37 it's a female phenomenon. It's partly internet brain. It's partly female brain. It's a real 1.00
01:05:42 thing. You know, women think more in terms of personal, immediate relational experience than 1.00
01:05:45 general data sets they do. And, um, that's why you see this all the time where you go, you know,
01:05:51 you say like, here's a thing that's generally true. And then a woman will respond and say, 0.70
01:05:55 No, I'm personally familiar with someone who that doesn't apply to.
01:06:00 And therefore, it's not true.
01:06:01 So you see, you say like, men are generally stronger than women.
01:06:06 And a woman says, oh, yeah, my cousin beat a guy in arm wrestling last Tuesday. 0.99
01:06:12 Okay, there's nothing to do, this does not at all call into question what I just said.
01:06:19 So there's some of that going on.
01:06:21 It's a little different, but it's a similar phenomenon.
01:06:22 Anyway, the point is, this is the wrong lesson, but I'm glad they're learning the wrong lesson.
01:06:28 And what that means is that we are in for another Tim Walls cringe fest.
01:06:33 Not him specifically, but a Tim Walls style cringe fest campaign that, unlike anything we've seen before.
01:06:43 Because remember, they already tried this.
01:06:45 They already tried their version of appealing to voters with a straight white Christian male.
01:06:50 even though Tim Walls actually does not fulfill
01:06:53 at least two of those four conditions.
01:06:55 But anyway, they tried
01:06:57 and now they're going to try again
01:06:58 and they're going to pander even harder.
01:07:02 They're going to have Gavin Newsom in overalls
01:07:05 with a long piece of like grass in his mouth
01:07:08 holding a banjo at a NASCAR race
01:07:12 in a straw hat,
01:07:15 shotgunning Natty Lights,
01:07:17 listening to like Toby Keith or something.
01:07:19 You cannot begin to imagine the cringe that we're about to all witness.
01:07:25 A cringe storm is brewing, and it's going to be hilarious.
01:07:31 Let's be honest about it.
01:07:33 The Democrats lost with Hillary Clinton, the least likable, least relatable person who has ever lived.
01:07:40 Truly.
01:07:42 And then they went off of the earth, and they went to outer space, and they found someone who's actually somehow worse.
01:07:47 They found some creature from a galaxy a billion light years away who can't even speak like a human.
01:07:55 And then they lost with her, too.
01:07:58 And their conclusion is that racism and sexism is what doomed their campaigns.
01:08:04 Basically, you know what it's like?
01:08:06 It's like they hired a woman to stand outside at a concession stand selling Big Gulp cups full of Drano to drink. 1.00
01:08:16 They hired a woman to sell cups of Drano.
01:08:20 They went to like a ball game and they had,
01:08:22 and people were buying hot dogs and beers and stuff.
01:08:24 And they set up a concession stand and they said,
01:08:27 hey, get your Drano here, drink it down.
01:08:30 We got a pint of Drano.
01:08:33 And everybody looked at them and was like, what?
01:08:35 What are you selling Drano to drink that? 0.59
01:08:37 Gross. 0.99
01:08:38 And they said, oh, I guess it's because I'm a black woman, huh? 0.99
01:08:41 I guess it's because you don't want to buy anything 0.99
01:08:43 from a black person or a woman. 0.99
01:08:46 That must be the reason.
01:08:50 It can't be that you don't want this specific thing that they're selling.
01:08:54 It can't be that that is revolting.
01:08:57 No, it's that you would. 0.67
01:08:58 If a white guy, if a white guy in a baseball hat,
01:09:02 if a straight white middle-aged guy in a baseball hat
01:09:06 was trying to sell you Drano to drink,
01:09:08 you'd gulp it right down, wouldn't you?
01:09:10 so now they're going to go man the Drano drink station with the worst caricature of a straight
01:09:18 white man the world has ever seen hoping that will fix it and it won't but it will be very 0.84
01:09:27 funny to watch and that is the good news we finally got around to it and that will do it
01:09:33 for the show today thanks for watching thanks for listening talk to you tomorrow have a great day
01:09:37 Godspeed.
01:09:45 I do believe that if people have committed treason against the United States of America,
01:09:51 their statues should not be in the Capitol.
01:09:55 History is written by the victors.
01:09:56 And since the 1960s, we've been told mostly by people whose ancestors didn't even live here during the war,
01:10:01 the South committed treason.
01:10:03 But if the Confederates were traitors, then why was Jefferson Davis never put on trial
01:10:11 for treason?
01:10:12 What were Abraham Lincoln and Andrew Johnson afraid of?
01:10:16 Do they know something they're not allowed to say today?
01:10:20 It's time for the truth.
01:10:22 So here it is.
01:10:23 Robert E. Lee was a military genius and a man of immense honor.
01:10:26 He was beloved by Americans from the North and South for a century after the war.
01:10:32 is the real history
01:10:33 of the Civil War.
