00:00:17.460 Well, now that we get a No Kings protest every few months,

00:00:20.680 it's easy to come to the conclusion that there's no reason to cover these demonstrations anymore.

00:00:25.100 By now, we're all familiar with the routine.

00:00:26.760 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.

00:00:37.800 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.

00:00:46.960 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.

00:00:58.320 And like the freak shows of old, these No Kings protests, which turned into riots in some cases, are well-funded.

00:01:05.080 They're a whole industry, as we'll discuss in a moment.

00:01:07.900 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.

00:01:13.640 After you see the footage of these protests, there's simply no other way to say it.

00:01:16.960 God has blessed us with truly pathetic and embarrassing enemies.

00:01:21.800 The activists who want to destroy Western civilization aren't even capable of putting

00:01:25.860 on a single event over one weekend in which they don't humiliate themselves.

00:01:30.520 And in that vein, the latest round of No Kings protests was, somehow against all odds,

00:01:35.620 a considerable downgrade from the No Kings rallies that preceded it.

00:01:40.180 Even with everything we've seen over the past year, this was the single most embarrassing

00:01:43.520 protest the left has organized in recent memory.

00:01:46.280 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.

00:01:54.320 But for simplicity's sake, we'll just stick with the No Kings branding, even though the left can't even agree on that.

00:01:59.220 So take this scene from the Minneapolis No Kings protest, for example.

00:02:03.160 This is one of their emcees, a woman who's apparently a comedian.

00:02:07.140 And although you wouldn't know it from anything about her, but here's the rousing message that she delivered to the crowd.

00:02:15.080 Listen to this.

00:02:16.280 and the nation is watching the stream. I want people to know that if you want to act like

00:02:22.600 Minnesota or you think Minnesota is a model, what can I do? Well, you can check your ego

00:02:28.680 about what you want to do and listen to the leadership. And when they tell you what they

00:02:33.720 need done, you do that. And you pay enough attention to the amazing organizers who've

00:02:42.120 on the ground who actually have the information who've already done the work instead of starting

00:02:47.660 your own oftentimes you're like who's doing it it's like someone you just need to learn who and

00:02:53.380 then you need to be the pack mule in the fight that they have been doing and organizing because

00:02:58.000 let me tell you what what we need is pack mules because there's brilliant minds and brilliant

00:03:02.820 leaders in this community who oftentimes are putting up the folding chairs when they should

00:03:07.720 be literally strategizing because that's their strong suit so be the be the folding chairs

00:03:13.360 people be the i'll bring donuts people for the brilliant minds who are actually making this train

00:03:18.520 run now like every other clip i'm about to play this feels like it has to be satire but we've

00:03:27.360 checked it a million times and indeed uh it is very real as she stands at a podium that says no

00:03:32.980 kings, she declares to the masses, quote, what we need is pack mules who will do whatever the

00:03:39.820 leaders tell them to do. Quote, be the folding chairs, bring a, which I don't even know. I think

00:03:45.480 she meant breathe, bring, be the folding chair chairs, people like the people who bring folding

00:03:50.480 chairs, not actually be a folding chair yourself. Although maybe that, maybe she's saying, you know,

00:03:54.860 be a thing for other people who are better than you to sit on. She says, bring donuts to the

00:03:59.900 brilliant mind, brilliant minds whose brilliance you can't begin to comprehend. So the great lesson

00:04:05.540 of the No Kings movement, apparently, is that you need to exercise greater obedience to people

00:04:11.100 in authority. I mean, the fundamental position held by actual monarchists and No Kings protesters

00:04:17.820 is, it turns out, strikingly similar. I mean, the only real difference is that monarchists can

00:04:24.080 typically deliver their message in an eloquent and, you know, even inspiring way sometimes,

00:04:28.740 whereas the No Kings message is delivered through the nasally scolding tones of an ill-tempered, middle-aged, childless woman.

00:04:36.280 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.

00:04:44.000 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,

00:04:53.240 caused trillions of dollars in economic damages with the COVID lockdowns,

00:04:57.480 which destroyed small businesses and prevented children from socializing or going to school.

00:05:01.720 This is damage that we still haven't remotely covered from.

00:05:05.260 And that's just one area in which the left has embraced authoritarianism.

00:05:09.040 We all remember the relentless social media censorship, the cancellation campaigns,

00:05:14.340 the forced indoctrination, on and on and on.

00:05:17.800 So, how exactly can these same people with a straight face claim to oppose authoritarianism with these No Kings protests?

00:05:26.760 Well, now, thanks to the No Kings protests this weekend, we have our answer.

00:05:30.240 The answer is, shut up and be a folding chair and a pack mule, you moron.

00:05:37.220 Don't you dare question us.

00:05:39.720 They don't actually oppose authoritarianism, obviously.

00:05:42.420 They just want to be the authoritarians.

00:05:44.360 That's what this is really about.

00:05:45.640 And that's why when they were asked why exactly they're protesting, none of these people have a decent answer.

00:05:52.820 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.

00:06:02.040 Waking up every day as a black woman is such a political act.

00:06:05.800 So that in itself is exhausting, but like the fight never stops.

00:06:09.940 So protesting this, it's like, hey, I still have to do this.

00:06:15.640 So I can't wait until this is behind us and we don't have to worry about people dying in ICE custody.

00:06:24.820 We don't have to worry about losing our rights as women, as black people, as any marginalized group.

00:06:31.800 So got to represent.

00:06:33.440 Yeah. And how are those rights being taken away right now?

00:06:36.640 How are they being taken away right now?

00:06:38.420 Um, so literally just like I have teachers as friends and they are struggling to try

00:06:49.580 to educate our kids in classrooms.

00:06:52.400 Yeah.

00:06:53.300 So because of what this administration is doing, um, black women are pretty much being

00:07:03.180 murdered in medical professions where we go to seek medical care and that research is being

00:07:12.040 defunded. We have to make sure that we are putting in the work and stopping these things.

00:07:18.100 So she begins with the familiar refrain. She says that she's exhausted just from being a black

00:07:23.620 woman. This country is so racist against her that the simple act of being a black woman is courageous

00:07:28.800 and it exhausts her. And all these people, you know, we, they, they love to talk about how

00:07:33.740 exhausted they are, which is funny because they don't do anything. They don't work. They don't

00:07:38.780 contribute. They don't have kids or families. They don't have responsibilities. They just like

00:07:43.100 hang around, scroll, tick tock, join a protest every once in a while, and then announce that

00:07:47.000 they're utterly exhausted by a life that is in every way more luxurious and leisurely than the

00:07:52.520 life of royalty. Not that long ago, Egyptian pharaohs could not have even fathomed the level

00:07:58.200 of comfort that this exhausted woman enjoys. And then she tells us that, well, apparently

00:08:04.340 this is new. They're lining up black women in the hospitals and shooting them for no

00:08:10.000 reason. You know, she has 10 seconds to come up with one example of what she's protesting

00:08:14.200 against. And after thinking about it for a bit, she comes up with something that is

00:08:19.280 completely insane. Apparently, if you go to the hospital as a black woman and you've got

00:08:24.400 like appendicitis or something, they'll say, oh, right this way. And they'll lead you to the back

00:08:29.200 of the hospital where they immediately murder you. Now, of course, this is actually similar to

00:08:34.700 how healthcare really works in Canada, except that you're considerably more likely to get that

00:08:39.540 treatment as a white man than a black woman. That's not what she's talking about. In this

00:08:44.300 country, in reality, according to data hazard, 25% of black and Hispanic medical students

00:08:48.660 have below average scores on the MCAT, which is the test you need to take in order to get into

00:08:53.920 med school. Only around 3% of white and Asian medical students have scores that low. So no,

00:08:59.320 black people are not getting murdered in the medical profession. They're being allowed into

00:09:03.180 the profession when they clearly should be rejected in large numbers. And the problem is so bad now

00:09:09.500 that half of UCLA medical students are now failing basic tests. So a black woman's not going to get

00:09:15.000 murdered in the hospital, in this country anyway, but she might die from a medical mishap or

00:09:22.100 neglect. And if that happens, it's highly likely it's because she had a black doctor who was not

00:09:28.420 qualified for the position, but was put there because of DEI. But again, that's not what she's

00:09:32.600 talking about. By the way, you might've noticed that her shirt said castrate pedophiles. This was

00:09:38.100 the theme of the weekend. Democrats who endorsed the chemical and physical castration of children,

00:09:43.220 as well as the murder of children, both inside and outside the womb, had decided that their

00:09:47.620 political opponents are in fact a threat to minors. And it makes about as much sense as

00:09:52.780 the idea that medical schools are execution chambers for black people, but that's what

00:09:57.880 they're going with. Watch.

00:10:17.620 so you know it's a fun activity for uh the old woman she's getting some sun she's playing the

00:10:24.680 drum she's hanging out with some new people uh these women these old boomers like probably

00:10:29.760 doesn't have grandchildren or if she has grandchildren you know her kids hate her and

00:10:33.740 don't want to be around her uh that's that's a lot of what's fueling this these old people that

00:10:37.580 show up at these rallies is that either they're childless or more likely they had kids but

00:10:43.060 They're miserable, awful, selfish people, and their kids don't want to be around them.

00:10:47.480 And so they're totally alone, and this is how they fill their time.

00:10:51.840 But really, the whole protest is, you know, that's what this is about.

00:10:55.360 It's just an excuse for that, and we should be honest about that.

00:10:59.180 None of these people are remotely consistent or coherent.

00:11:02.900 None of them, as I've pointed out many times, were calling for the release of the Epstein files until Trump became president.

00:11:09.140 It's one of the most shameless things we've seen in politics.

00:11:12.520 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.

00:11:22.380 They didn't even pretend to care about it until the moment Trump was in office.

00:11:26.540 And now it's the most important thing to them.

00:11:30.640 And, you know, the last guy in the little conga line there that we saw has a sign.

00:11:36.360 The last guy in the conga line has a sign that's totally unrelated to the Epstein files.

00:11:39.720 in case you missed it, his sign read, eat the rich, wash them down with ice, which like doesn't

00:11:47.060 even make sense. The metaphor makes no sense. What do you, because that would, you want to eat the

00:11:52.340 rich and wash them down with ice. So then ice is a good thing in that analogy, but you don't like

00:11:57.680 ice. So what are you trying to say? So this isn't really a protest about Kings at all. It's really

00:12:03.960 about ice and it's about rich people and it's about Epstein and it's about everything else.

00:12:07.680 So it's just a grab bag of every random leftist complaint.

00:12:11.660 No one really knows what it's about, which is why the one-on-one interviews with protesters were so entertaining unintentionally.

00:12:19.040 Here's another. Watch.

00:12:21.020 Why are you out protesting no kings?

00:12:23.880 Because I believe in the basic fundamental principles of our democracy.

00:12:28.700 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?

00:12:36.560 our Constitution is a contract. And so to not show up at this critical moment is to abandon what

00:12:43.320 makes us amazing. Amazing. How is the Constitution eroding right now? Well, the the now I'm going to

00:12:52.860 sound like an idiot. So we have the. Oh, my God, I can't believe like I'm put on. All right. We have

00:13:03.840 the trump out there right now um uh pushing up against um protesters in major cities we have

00:13:11.280 minneapolis as a main show of that and the violence used against protesters within that

00:13:15.120 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

00:13:20.080 a protest well she's right about sounding like an idiot at least and uh looking like one she's

00:13:28.480 dressed if you're just listening to the audio um there she's dressed like a banana

00:13:33.840 Why? I don't know. And this is one thing about leftist protests is that they like to wear

00:13:38.960 costumes that have nothing to do with what they're protesting. And maybe that's kind of a smart

00:13:43.880 strategy. Honestly, the left uses because they realize that if you want to have a successful

00:13:47.580 protest, it helps to mobilize bored, weird people. And I'm not saying that bored, weird people are

00:13:53.420 the only ones that go to protest. But I mean, if you can mobilize those people, you'll have a big

00:13:57.780 protest. And one way to get the bored, weird people out to any event is to say, hey, you can

00:14:03.800 wear a costume. What kind of costume should I wear? Anything. Whatever weird costumes you have

00:14:09.380 laying around because you're weird and you're bored, just throw it on and come on out. It's

00:14:13.080 a costume party. We'll give you a sign. Doesn't matter what it says. What are we protesting?

00:14:19.120 Doesn't matter. Just come on out. Put on your costume and let's go for a walk.

00:14:23.600 That's sort of what they do. But as we see there, as always, there's no self-reflection. There's

00:14:27.680 no realization that she's wasting her time. Instead, she comes up with the claim that Donald

00:14:31.200 Trump is a king because we have Trump out there right now pushing up against protesters in major

00:14:36.860 cities. And she makes this statement while she's at a protest in a major city, one of the many

00:14:42.180 similar protests occurring all over the country. So we have a king who doesn't allow protests.

00:14:47.680 And to prove that point, we're going to protest all over the place constantly in the most

00:14:52.320 obnoxious way possible. And the king's not going to do anything about it.

00:14:57.680 A pretty good indication you don't have a king, by the way, is if you can protest him, number one, all the time.

00:15:05.120 And they're marching through the streets calling Trump a pedophile.

00:15:09.760 And if he were anything like a king, go to a place that actually has a dictator.

00:15:18.380 Those exist in the world. There's plenty of them.

00:15:21.260 And march through the street with signs calling the dictator a pedophile.

00:15:26.640 and see what happens.

00:15:29.500 You're going to notice a distinct difference

00:15:31.520 between your treatment there and your treatment here.

00:15:34.900 But apparently the king only pushes up against protesters,

00:15:37.960 as she says, when they try to run over federal agents

00:15:40.660 with their SUV or when they violently attack

00:15:43.260 Border Patrol agents making an arrest.

00:15:46.000 And I need to emphasize that I'm not cherry-picking clips here.

00:15:49.600 Every single time one of these people was asked

00:15:51.780 to explain their worldview, it all fell apart.

00:15:53.480 and sometimes children are forcibly dragged into this nonsense as well which is the most tragic

00:15:59.260 part of it watch got mom and daughter i'm assuming correct and you are yes sir my name is melissa

00:16:06.080 group melissa and mia group mia we're gonna start with mia mia why are you out here um to protest

00:16:14.560 and get a make a better democracy and your sign this is a together sign i guess to explain your

00:16:22.640 together side mia um so it's supposed to be about like we get to make a statement and they just

00:16:33.380 silence us and they don't get to do that we have the right you have the right to do that mom

00:16:39.800 melissa just what does it mean for you to have your little one out here today and how important

00:16:44.500 is it for you well i have three girls and so it is so important to build a better future for them

00:16:51.340 We are here to be the light, not to squash it out.

00:16:54.300 And so it means everything to have my daughter with me.

00:16:56.440 Now, I'm looking at your signs.

00:16:57.600 Who put it together?

00:16:58.320 Whose idea was this?

00:16:59.220 Tell me.

00:17:00.360 This is your idea?

00:17:01.700 Tell me about it.

00:17:02.420 How'd you come up with this idea?

00:17:03.840 I just looked up some ideas, and I just put it together.

00:17:10.620 How does it feel to be her mom?

00:17:12.580 I am so incredibly proud.

00:17:13.940 And she has her own voice.

00:17:15.500 She's here because she wants to.

00:17:16.780 She knows it's the right thing.

00:17:17.740 It just means everything.

00:17:18.520 that I'm raising her to be the light, to be a future for all of us.

00:17:25.920 Yeah, it's always funny when the media does this,

00:17:27.960 when the little kids are dragged to these protests and the media shows up

00:17:31.700 and they're like, whoa, all these kids are here.

00:17:34.220 Why are you here?

00:17:35.920 Why did you come to this protest?

00:17:37.980 How did you get so involved?

00:17:39.800 Oh, because they were dragged there?

00:17:42.800 Because I'm forced to be here, my parent has taken me here,

00:17:47.300 and I'm a kid and I can't not be here.

00:17:49.640 It's because my parents put me in the car

00:17:51.900 and brought me here.

00:17:53.300 And so I'm here now.

00:17:55.340 That's basically why every kid is anywhere they are.

00:17:58.520 It's because their parents said,

00:18:00.260 you're going to be here now.

00:18:01.680 And so when you see a lot of kids at a protest,

00:18:03.620 it's because their parents said,

00:18:05.280 well, you're going to a protest.

00:18:09.240 Now, it's clear that the mother is happy

00:18:11.260 that her child is engaged in politics

00:18:12.900 and activism as an end itself.

00:18:14.400 She thinks it's good for someone to be protesting

00:18:16.940 as a general matter.

00:18:19.040 This is how we get colleges

00:18:20.080 full of angry,

00:18:20.920 chronically depressed

00:18:21.640 18-year-old students.

00:18:23.160 This is how we get

00:18:23.800 Antifa lawyers

00:18:24.780 who decide to firebomb

00:18:26.300 police cruisers.

00:18:27.720 And if you're going to

00:18:28.120 encourage your child

00:18:28.940 to be angry about

00:18:29.680 nothing in particular,

00:18:30.720 then they'll never be happy.

00:18:32.840 It's like one of the worst

00:18:33.580 things you can do to a child.

00:18:34.520 Inevitably,

00:18:35.500 you know,

00:18:36.260 the nightmare scenario

00:18:38.060 is that down the line

00:18:39.820 they turn out like this guy.

00:18:41.400 Watch.

00:18:43.380 Would you like J.D. Vance

00:18:44.720 to be the president then?

00:18:45.560 No, I would not.

00:18:46.180 Okay.

00:18:46.700 Yeah.

00:18:46.940 I would not.

00:18:47.640 Okay.

00:18:47.900 Who would you like to be the president?

00:18:50.160 Kamala Harris right now, but she didn't win.

00:18:52.100 But can I point out something that we say no kings and no authoritarianism, but Kamala

00:18:58.240 Harris, no one voted for her.

00:19:00.500 Yes, they did.

00:19:01.100 Half the country voted for her.

00:19:02.200 So no one was voted for her to be the nominee.

00:19:05.220 Yes, they did.

00:19:05.880 Isn't that what like authoritarian?

00:19:08.120 You're going down the wrong road right now with me.

00:19:09.880 I wouldn't go any further.

00:19:11.080 What does that mean?

00:19:11.940 I'm not going to talk to you anymore.

00:19:12.980 That's what it means.

00:19:13.960 I just think it's ironic that no one voted for her to be the nominee.

00:19:18.360 They just selected her like a king gets selected, right?

00:19:21.300 Keep it yourself, okay? Bye, have a good day.

00:19:24.060 See ya. Take care.

00:19:25.700 What's your other sign say?

00:19:26.800 You don't need to see it.

00:19:27.580 Okay.

00:19:31.920 I mean, I'm shocked.

00:19:33.620 I would have expected, you know, really fruitful dialogue with that guy.

00:19:38.480 I saw that guy, this fat old guy with orange face paint,

00:19:43.460 and a Burger King crown. I saw him and I thought, well, now we're going to get, this is going to be

00:19:50.560 good. Now we're going to have a real interesting intellectual dialogue with this guy. And then it

00:19:55.420 didn't happen. So I'm pretty surprised by that. And the moment that he's reminded that Kamala

00:19:59.320 Harris became the Democrat nominee without receiving a single vote, suddenly he doesn't

00:20:03.580 care about democracy or kings anymore. He just wants to run away as quickly as possible, which

00:20:08.560 is not that quick because, again, he's old and fat.

00:20:12.440 Now, moving right along, the Nate Friedman show spoke to an elderly white woman

00:20:15.620 who really stole the show in that respect. Watch.

00:20:19.780 It seems like there's a lack of diversity here today,

00:20:22.260 that it's mostly people who look like you and I.

00:20:23.900 This is not for black people, for people of color to get out on the street.

00:20:31.580 They're at risk when they do that.

00:20:33.320 If anybody's going to get arrested here, it's going to be a black person.

00:20:37.160 it is not safe for them and they don't need to participate we need to walk in

00:20:42.200 their name okay okay what do you think about voter ID do you think it's racist

00:20:48.920 it's a hundred percent a tactic to control the population and prevent

00:20:56.000 people from voting so that the only votes that so that the make so that the

00:21:00.500 gerrymandering can work so that white voters can vote in white christian males have you been voting

00:21:09.060 blue your most of your life i voted blue in the womb ah wonderful yeah uh if you had to vote for

00:21:15.820 republican jd vance or rubia which one would you pick if you had to yeah i would slit my throat

00:21:20.020 really yeah uh i mean these people they just make no attempt to form a coherent worldview at all

00:21:29.500 which is one of the things it's what's why it's impossible it's impossible to debate people that

00:21:33.580 have no interest in being coherent who are not coherent and aren't worried about it um it's just

00:21:40.440 it's impossible to have any kind of conversation so she says that you know black people can't go

00:21:44.440 out to the protest because they're the most likely to get shot or be arrested meanwhile they also tell

00:21:48.960 us though that alex preddy and renee good were murdered by ice agents which they weren't but

00:21:54.380 they were both white and so in that case then i mean if they were murdered then that means

00:21:59.400 that ICE chose two white people, even though it was a protest full of a bunch of quote unquote

00:22:05.000 people of color, uh, and, and murdered the white people instead. So I don't know, how do you make

00:22:09.480 all that work? She doesn't, she doesn't worry about it. Uh, but there's a lot to think about

00:22:13.000 here, starting with the idea that in her understanding, there are no black people

00:22:15.840 at these protests because all the black people are scared of getting arrested or shot by the

00:22:19.160 police. You know, black people totally want to go. They want to be a part of my event. They just,

00:22:25.960 they're too scared they're not as courageous as we talk about cope no there'd be more people here

00:22:32.480 it's just that they're not there i'm they're not as they're more scared than i am that's why

00:22:37.760 you know because they have a very high uh regard for this protest and the protesters they would

00:22:43.520 be there black people are definitely 100 she's telling us just as neurotic and bored as all the

00:22:49.180 elderly white women and deranged young communists who were at the protests but alas because it's

00:22:54.700 just too dangerous to go outside, the black people are staying at home, huddled in their panic rooms

00:22:59.900 while this brave woman takes the bullets for them. Now, not to rain on this woman's parade, but

00:23:05.900 this is how, you know, many black people actually respond when they're confronted with left-wing

00:23:11.280 hysteria and narcissism. Watch this. No thoughts. You guys are the foot soldiers of a fascist

00:23:18.160 regime, right? Is that not what it is? Is that funny? Is that funny?

00:23:30.080 See, the thing is, if you're an actual working class person, regardless of your race, with actual

00:23:35.160 responsibilities and a real job, you don't have time to play hero in a world of your own creation.

00:23:40.700 You're preoccupied with reality, not a fantasy that appeals to your narcissism, and you grow

00:23:45.400 to dislike people who let their delusions guide their life. Incidentally, this is one of the

00:23:50.580 reasons why gender insanity is unpopular among the vast majority of the black population, by

00:23:56.040 the way. And then there's her claim that if you want voter ID, then you're a bigot who only wants

00:24:03.140 white Christian males to vote because obviously only white Christian males are allowed to get

00:24:07.700 driver's licenses at the DMV. As anyone who's ever been to a DMV knows, they simply won't give you a

00:24:13.100 license if you're black, never mind the fact that like everyone who works there is black now.

00:24:17.140 As best I can tell, her whole worldview appears to be that black people are incapable of doing

00:24:21.020 anything, even getting a driver's license without getting shot by the police. And they need this

00:24:27.240 woman to do everything for them. Somebody should run a poll to see how black people feel about that.

00:24:32.940 I mean, it could be interesting. In the meantime, we've got to get back to clips from these protests

00:24:37.520 because as I said, there's quite a few of them. This is a woman who appears to be very concerned

00:24:41.460 about the number of dead cats in America, although she later clarifies that she's talking

00:24:46.500 about death camps. So a little bit different, but watch. No death camps on American soil.

00:24:55.340 Can I ask what you're saying? No death camps on American soil. No cats? No death cats. Okay. So

00:25:04.000 So that's why you're protesting today?

00:25:06.000 Yeah, because those camps are death camps.

00:25:11.000 So where are these camps at?

00:25:13.000 The Florida Keys, every building that they try to put ice camps, they're death camps!

00:25:33.000 If you can't see it, you are blind as a vet, like they did in Germany.

00:25:40.880 So you're saying they're at death camps in Florida?

00:25:43.040 Yeah.

00:25:48.120 Her vote counts.

00:25:49.600 Her vote counts, folks.

00:25:51.140 Her vote counts just as much as yours.

00:25:53.780 When you go to vote, she gets to cancel out your vote.

00:26:00.440 She has no clue.

00:26:01.760 She's totally confused.

00:26:03.900 There's no idea what's happening.

00:26:05.400 She doesn't know what country she's in.

00:26:07.560 It's just an insane person.

00:26:09.040 And she gets the vote.

00:26:11.200 After a while, if you watch enough of them,

00:26:13.360 these clips from the No Kings protests

00:26:14.740 start to resemble an episode of cops.

00:26:16.580 You know, you're seeing people

00:26:17.380 at the absolute low point of their existence on this earth.

00:26:20.820 Many of them are suffering

00:26:21.700 from some kind of profound issue in their lives.

00:26:23.940 And at some level, you wish they'd get some help.

00:26:27.640 You're concerned for them.

00:26:28.660 At the same time, in this case,

00:26:30.060 these people want power over your lives and the fate of Western civilization. The Democrat Party

00:26:35.260 and the corporate press are driving these people insane or more insane on purpose as a way to

00:26:40.160 secure their votes. So they have to be exposed. There's no way around it. And the moment they

00:26:44.300 commit crimes, which happens all the time, they need to suffer actual consequences. And for that

00:26:48.600 reason, I need to highlight this very sad scene that took place in Milford, New Hampshire over

00:26:53.400 the weekend, a man who goes by the name Sidewalk Steve. He's like Billboard Chris in that he

00:26:57.460 protest the castration sterilization of children in the name of gender ideology he was cornered by

00:27:01.960 a left-wing trans activist the trans activist wouldn't let sidewalk steve move even after the

00:27:06.780 police showed up and here's what happened next why don't you leave i would love to leave i would

00:27:13.740 love to leave i don't want to be here why don't you give her this face okay um she's following

00:27:22.740 Hey, you know what? No one gave you the authority to be king either. I'm not going to be pushed

00:27:31.300 around by her. I'm not going to be pushed around by you. You can hate crime all you want. Take

00:27:38.140 your hate crime. Take your hate speech. Go away. It's not easy. The Constitution doesn't cover hate speech.

00:27:46.760 I'm going to give you one more chance. I'm going to block you to stop. You're more than welcome to walk.

00:27:51.500 Please? She screams at us with a whistle.

00:27:56.860 I'm blocking his sign. He can move all he wants. I'm just gonna block the sign.

00:28:03.260 You know, you gotta leave us alone. This is harassment. You gotta leave him alone.

00:28:08.220 All right, I'll leave him alone by blocking the sign. That's it. You gotta leave me alone.

00:28:13.660 Leave us alone. Leave him alone. Do you know what you're asking? Yes. No, you don't. You're creative.

00:28:19.900 What is it? What does the sign say?

00:28:21.700 I have nothing to do with that.

00:28:24.640 I'm going to block the sign.

00:28:28.320 All right, turn around.

00:28:29.140 No, no, no.

00:28:34.200 There you go, that easy.

00:28:43.160 This is what should happen to every trans activist and Antifa terrorist

00:28:46.140 who prevents anyone, whether they're federal agents or private citizens,

00:28:48.820 from using streets and sidewalks.

00:28:50.280 They have no right to do that.

00:28:51.280 The left has gotten far too comfortable doing this

00:28:53.940 because they've been allowed to do it for so long.

00:28:56.160 Throwing them down and arresting them

00:28:57.600 is actually the moderate option.

00:28:59.020 When you block people from going somewhere,

00:29:01.060 you're effectively kidnapping them.

00:29:03.200 And we need to start taking that seriously

00:29:04.920 or else it will get much worse.

00:29:06.200 It already has gotten much worse.

00:29:08.160 What you're seeing in these clips

00:29:09.020 is what most of the Democrat coalition has become.

00:29:11.320 It's a collection of people

00:29:12.280 who aren't doing well psychologically

00:29:15.440 and who have absolutely no idea

00:29:18.080 what they actually want.

00:29:19.320 So far, we've talked about how the No Kings protests

00:29:21.320 are about democracy, trans ideology, racism,

00:29:24.600 the Epstein files, being a pack mule,

00:29:27.620 the mass murder of black medical students.

00:29:30.660 On top of that, the No Kings protests

00:29:32.260 were also apparently about climate change

00:29:34.820 and ceding the sovereignty of the United States

00:29:36.580 to Indians.

00:29:37.600 Watch.

00:29:42.040 The emotions are rising.

00:29:44.900 Fires raging on the hill

00:29:50.840 Fires raging

00:29:53.160 The rich keep giving tax cuts

00:29:57.340 While we put the bill

00:30:00.040 We stand in solidarity with our indigenous siblings

00:30:13.560 knowing that the U.S. will never be free

00:30:16.840 until the stewardship of this land

00:30:19.300 is returned to its indigenous peoples.

00:30:26.340 Thank you.

00:30:30.280 Now, last clip is from Boston Common.

00:30:32.820 It's one of the most expensive areas in the city,

00:30:34.580 just a few minutes from Harvard.

00:30:36.340 The land is very desirable, to put it mildly,

00:30:38.680 so you have to wonder how long it takes

00:30:40.040 for some Indian tribes to accept this offer

00:30:41.900 and take control of the land.

00:30:43.000 if it happened in Vancouver, it can happen in Boston. All it takes is one ruling from a judge

00:30:48.500 and the rich leftists in Boston, you know, they're begging for it. Meanwhile, in New York,

00:30:53.680 the No Kings protests were explicitly about a communist revolution. We'll put a video of this

00:30:59.220 on the screen. You see, unlike the USSR or China or North Korea or Cuba or any other communist

00:31:03.480 government in history, apparently we're going to be the first communist country where there's no

00:31:07.580 ruling party that seizes control and tells everyone else what to do. We're going to be the

00:31:12.140 We're going to be the first nice communism where it works out well for everyone.

00:31:17.260 The first ones to ever do it.

00:31:19.040 We're going to live in a communist utopia.

00:31:21.680 Everyone else that's tried a communist utopia has just resulted in mass death by the millions.

00:31:26.420 But not for us.

00:31:27.900 It's going to work this time.

00:31:30.140 All we need to do is hand over power to these morons who can't even organize a weekend of protests

00:31:35.060 or answer a single question in an interview.

00:31:38.000 As always, Canada gives us a preview of what that kind of dysfunction would look like.

00:31:42.140 One of Canada's major parties, the NDP, just held a nominating convention, and here's how it went.

00:31:48.640 Privilege on microphone one, then we'll go to microphone three.

00:31:51.660 Go ahead, delegate.

00:31:53.100 Yes, hello.

00:31:54.060 I was standing here with my gender equity card before you called on the previous speaker.

00:31:58.800 That's my point of privilege that I would like to raise.

00:32:00.500 I will explain the speaking order, which is fixed, that I cannot amend, which is the pro-con rotation.

00:32:05.900 You can move yourself up a line that you're standing in.

00:32:08.980 I am pro, and I was...

00:32:11.300 We went...

00:32:12.640 You went pro, con, pro.

00:32:14.720 We went pro, con, pro, and my plan was to go con.

00:32:18.340 The speaker at Con Mic 3 also has a speaking card.

00:32:22.040 Yesterday, this card was used in an inappropriate matter.

00:32:27.080 And while I understand in Ontario we know this as equity,

00:32:30.960 even if that, this was also used inappropriate in terms of gender.

00:32:35.100 I want everyone to be mindful that these cards for individuals like myself who identify as a

00:32:41.740 black woman have no value outside of this space. Early on the mic, it's hard as a racialized and

00:32:49.460 transgender delegate to sometimes use this card and speak up, speak to somebody in front of me

00:32:54.760 in line and ask, hey, this pertains to multiple intersecting parts of my lived experience. I'd

00:32:59.780 like to speak. I was rejected when I talked. And it's frustrating when these are my rights being

00:33:06.760 directly under attack right now in Alberta and that a cisgender woman had spoken over me. And

00:33:14.740 I understand her rights are important too. This pertains to her too. But I don't know. I hope

00:33:21.160 that in the future the federal NDP will also have a broader interpretation of the equity cards for

00:33:27.000 speakers that's all thank you of the legacy of blood that was built in Iraq

00:33:32.100 in Palestine and now in Iran this is a no question debate I call this question

00:33:39.480 Adam and chairs thank you

00:33:45.880 your points quite well made speaker I'll again thank delegates not to call me

00:33:52.360 madam chair who met on the president's I'm a non-binary person my pronouns are

00:33:56.160 they, them, and their chair is sufficient. They literally waved race cards around called equity

00:34:02.640 cards, which determine who was able to speak. In Canada, playing the race card is not a metaphor.

00:34:07.200 I mean, it's how they run their political conventions. And as you'd expect, the whole

00:34:10.180 thing fell apart pretty quickly. See, narcissists are obsessed with playing the victim because it's

00:34:14.880 an easy way to explain why their lives are terrible. They can look around and say, it's not

00:34:19.500 my fault. I'm perfect. Everyone else is oppressing me. What the left has done is establish a political

00:34:24.300 movement that's designed to attract this kind of person. And when these losers gather together,

00:34:28.440 at the same time, they all race to play the victim and hilarity ensues. Even the chairwoman,

00:34:35.640 as you saw, had to get in on the action. Now, going back to the No Kings protest,

00:34:40.040 if you guess that these people are well-funded, you're correct. And you won't be surprised where

00:34:45.280 the funding is coming from. Here's a report from Fox News, quote, a network of about 500 groups

00:34:50.440 with an estimated $3 billion in combined annual revenues

00:34:53.060 is behind the coordinated nationwide No Kings protests

00:34:55.400 on Saturday, including communist groups

00:34:57.340 who are using the day to call for a revolution,

00:34:59.940 according to a Fox Digital News investigation.

00:35:01.940 According to a copy of the permit

00:35:03.260 for the flagship march in St. Paul, Minnesota,

00:35:06.060 Indivisible, a national well-heeled

00:35:09.400 democratic political advocacy organization

00:35:11.340 funded by billionaire George Soros, of course,

00:35:14.300 is the lead coordinator for the protest.

00:35:16.800 But Fox News Digital has also identified

00:35:18.480 key participation by a network of radical socialists and communist organizations funded by

00:35:22.740 Neville Roy Singham, an American tech tycoon and avowed communists living in China. Over nearly a

00:35:30.840 decade, Singham has financed a constellation of activist institutions that promote revolutionary

00:35:36.040 socialist politics and frequently collaborate and protest campaigns. So to recap, the enemies of

00:35:42.700 conservatism and of Western civilization, more importantly, are incoherent, deranged, disorganized,

00:35:46.960 violent and unintelligent. Can't even tell you what they're even protesting for. At the same time,

00:35:53.180 they're also very well funded and some of their money is coming from communists living in China,

00:35:57.460 apparently with the goal of causing disruption in American politics. In other words, now is the

00:36:02.280 perfect time for the Republican Party to crush these people. On the show, we've already talked

00:36:06.980 about the fake nonprofits that were funding the anti-ice operations in Minneapolis and how these

00:36:12.180 kinds of nonprofits are the backbone of Democrat Party activism. And now we're learning that some

00:36:16.900 of these Democrat-run organizations might be taking money from China. A lot of the cash that's

00:36:22.800 contributing to the radicalization of Americans, including many very dumb and mentally disturbed

00:36:27.060 Democrats, is coming from abroad. So at a minimum, we need investigations. We need to learn whether

00:36:31.920 and to what extent any foreign government is behind the funding of the No Kings protests and

00:36:36.740 riots. We need to shut down any non-profits that are functioning like the arm of the Chinese

00:36:41.860 government or the Democrat Party. What's the difference anymore? We need some kind of lawful

00:36:46.220 and decisive action that will disrupt the anti-American, pro-communist organizations

00:36:51.080 that are intent on destroying this country by turning complete losers and degenerates

00:36:56.400 into its foot soldiers. Republicans could do all of this. Instead, they're basically

00:37:01.940 not doing anything. I mean, Republicans in the Senate just made huge concessions to the

00:37:06.120 Democrats concerning ICE and border security at the end of last week. Then they refused

00:37:10.760 to debate the SAVE Act, which is not going to pass, even though 85 percent of Americans support

00:37:16.620 it. So you can forget about voter ID and secure elections going forward. And then, having failed

00:37:22.180 to do their jobs, Republicans fled to the airport, flanked by private security that took them

00:37:27.540 straight to the front of the TSA lines that everyone else has to suffer through. And all

00:37:31.980 this is happening while Republicans are continuing to block Trump from making recess appointments.

00:37:36.260 We've talked about this before, but it bears repeating. When Congress isn't in session for

00:37:40.340 10 days or longer, the president can make important appointments by himself without

00:37:43.660 approval from the Senate. If Congress, which is controlled by Republicans, went into recess for

00:37:48.600 10 days, then Trump could fill hundreds of executive branch positions and even federal

00:37:53.400 judicial positions. It wouldn't exactly be unprecedented. Obama had something like 32

00:37:57.980 recess appointments. But Trump's own party is preventing him from making these recess appointments

00:38:02.140 by holding pro forma sessions that prevent the 10 day timer from completing. They show up to

00:38:08.600 congress uh gavel in a session and then leave a few minutes later all to prevent trump from

00:38:13.760 making an appointment this is what these sessions look like this is the whole thing from beginning

00:38:18.580 to end watch the house will be in order the chair lays before the house a communication from the

00:38:50.700 Thank you, Reverend.

00:38:52.160 Pursuant to clause 13 of rule one,

00:38:54.140 the journal of the last day's proceedings is approved.

00:38:58.440 No due, the Pledge of Allegiance.

00:39:01.440 Pursuant to clause 13 of rule one,

00:39:03.380 the house stands adjourned until 9 a.m.

00:39:06.220 on Tuesday, August the 12th, 2025.

00:39:13.900 The Senate will come to order.

00:39:15.900 The clerk will read a communication to the Senate.

00:39:19.040 Washington, D.C., August 8th, 2025.

00:39:22.300 To the Senate, under the provisions of Rule 1,

00:39:24.780 Paragraph 3 of the standing rules of the Senate,

00:39:27.100 I hereby appoint the Honorable Bernie Marino...

00:39:29.260 This is what Republicans are doing at the moment

00:39:32.400 when Democrats are obviously vulnerable.

00:39:34.920 Republicans are sabotaging the leader of their own party.

00:39:37.480 They're preventing him from carrying out the will of the voters,

00:39:39.540 and they certainly aren't worried about the government shutdown

00:39:41.580 or the No Kings riots or any of that.

00:39:44.500 TMZ just posted this picture of Lindsey Graham vacationing at Disney World.

00:39:49.640 Now, by law, of course, childless adult men should be banned

00:39:52.820 from getting within 500 feet of Disney World.

00:39:55.660 But as you can see, Lindsey Graham is having the time of his life.

00:39:59.460 He's far away from Washington.

00:40:00.760 So are the rest of the so-called Republican leaders in Congress.

00:40:03.240 how do we account for this how does a political party with control of congress and the white

00:40:08.880 house with an opposition that's melting down all over the country as the department of homeland

00:40:13.060 security remains unfunded respond and in the middle of a war by going on vacation it's not

00:40:20.620 crazy to conclude that with the midterms approaching and the war in iran looking more

00:40:24.320 and more like a drawn-out campaign probably because i've just given up not interested in

00:40:29.640 governing, not interested in protecting Americans from these lunatics or advancing our interests in

00:40:34.600 any way. If there's anything we can learn from the No Kings protests and riots this weekend,

00:40:39.380 it's that Democrats don't have the capacity or intelligence to lead, but if Republicans get

00:40:43.780 their way, these Democrats will indeed take power. And while Lindsey Graham and John Thune are on a

00:40:50.240 permanent vacation, we will be left to deal with the consequences on our own. Now let's get to our

00:40:58.460 five headlines. My show is proud to be supported by Grand Canyon University. It's an affordable,

00:42:21.340 all. Yeah, you know, that picture of Lindsey Graham at Disney World is upsetting for me,

00:42:30.080 especially because, well, I mean, everyone knows how I feel about childless people who go to

00:42:35.380 Disney World, especially when they're supposed to be senators. But, you know, on top of everything

00:42:40.380 else, the situation in our airports is not fixed. Okay, it's not fixed. I can tell you that from

00:42:48.520 from very recent experience. And yet these people are just going on vacation.

00:42:54.300 Like I just got home late last night, flew home from Florida where I was speaking at an event.

00:43:00.200 It was a great event, a fundraising event for community pregnancy clinics, pro-life pregnancy

00:43:04.760 center in Florida. And that was great. Flying there and back was not so great. It was not great

00:43:10.500 at all. I have to say. And in fact, we had a, because this is what flying is now. This is what

00:43:15.700 the air travel experience is now. It has been for a while. And it's miserable. We had a layover,

00:43:23.040 a connecting flight. Our first flight was delayed on the tarmac, which is like, in my experience

00:43:29.560 anyway, especially over the last month of flying, it's like every flight is delayed on the tarmac.

00:43:34.780 And so we're delayed on the tarmac. We make it to our connecting airport. We missed the flight,

00:43:40.940 the connecting flight, looked into rebooking, but the next flight out of the airport was also

00:43:47.600 delayed by two hours. So ultimately we decided to get a car and drive it. There was five hours

00:43:52.880 remaining to our destination. The whole thing was like a thousand miles or something, but

00:43:56.120 two thirds of the way into we had a connecting flight. And, um, and it was about five, another

00:44:01.300 five hours by car to get home. And so we, uh, we took a car because that's how bad air travel is

00:44:08.100 in the country now. Driving five hours is faster than what was supposed to be like a one-hour

00:44:13.740 flight. It's some kind of mathematical paradox. What's longer, a one-hour flight or a five-hour

00:44:22.520 drive? That should be the easiest math problem in the world. Well, the thing that's five is more,

00:44:30.060 So that's longer. Nope. Nope. Turns out not. Air travel is so bad. It sucks so much. I've been

00:44:40.380 flying regularly for 15 years. I'm on planes all the time, airports all the time. The quality of

00:44:45.000 the experience has declined steadily. It's now at rock bottom. It does matter. Okay. So for anyone's

00:44:50.820 whiny, you're complaining. Sure, I am. But it also matters. And it's not just the TSA lines,

00:44:56.440 which are still really bad. I mean, they've been fixed in some places, but I've seen it myself.

00:45:01.840 They're still really bad in a lot of places. And that's not even a, just that's, that is merely a

00:45:07.080 fraction of the problem. Okay. TSA lines. Yes. Also flight delays, air traffic control issues.

00:45:13.460 I had a flight a couple of weeks ago. We were on the tarmac for two hours. Three hour flight

00:45:17.260 becomes five hours. Incredibly common. You get to let delays on the other end too. Even after you

00:45:22.740 land. I mean, we had a few months ago, we landed, we pulled into our gate. We were at our gate. We

00:45:26.580 had, we had arrived. Okay. You'd think, okay, we're finally home. Like we're here. We're at

00:45:31.120 the gate. This, this is now finally, this is nothing could go wrong now. Right. We're the

00:45:37.840 plane is parked and we're here. Gate C3, let's go. And we were delayed at the gate for an hour

00:45:46.080 waiting for someone in the airport to come move the jet bridge so we could get off the plane.

00:45:54.180 We were an hour just sitting there so someone would open the door.

00:46:00.420 And again, this is the air travel experience. They find new ways to make it miserable.

00:46:05.040 Meanwhile, the airports themselves are mostly grimy and gross and always crowded.

00:46:09.480 The service is terrible. The food is bad. Many of the passengers are obnoxious and gross and

00:46:14.640 disheveled. Everyone has their dogs with them. It's like a flying petting zoo. And did I mention

00:46:19.300 the service? The service is really bad. I should emphasize that point. Last night, before we got

00:46:26.780 into the car to leave, what was supposed to be our connecting airport, we're leaving. We had our

00:46:31.180 baggage. We had to figure out what's going on with the bag. We went to the baggage claim office.

00:46:34.500 The woman at the desk doesn't look up, doesn't look up from her phone for the first two minutes

00:46:39.340 of the... I mean, she really, she's looking down at her phone. I walk up to the desk

00:46:43.660 and she's looking down at her phone.

00:46:45.920 Yeah, can I help you?

00:46:47.500 Yeah, what do you need?

00:46:48.780 Doesn't look up for two minutes.

00:46:49.920 Just looking at the phone.

00:46:52.100 Then she finally sort of vaguely pays attention,

00:46:54.580 tells us that our bags aren't there.

00:46:56.660 They said, well, we're leaving.

00:46:59.460 We're not going to get on our flight.

00:47:00.460 We missed our flight because can we have our bags?

00:47:03.060 Can you give us our bags, please?

00:47:04.500 Is there any way you could give us our bags

00:47:06.460 before we leave this airport that's five hours away?

00:47:09.480 And she says, oh, well, your bags made it on the other flight.

00:47:11.980 So it's too late.

00:47:12.680 your bags are on that flight. I said, how do they make it on the other flight? We landed five

00:47:17.180 minutes before the flight took off. I mean, I've had layovers that were an hour and the bags didn't

00:47:21.540 make it. You're telling me the bags made it in five minutes and they can't make it in an hour?

00:47:24.100 How are they on the plane? What did they do? Did the other plane drive, fly next to it and

00:47:31.220 throw the bags over? How is that even possible? She says, well, nothing you can do. You have to

00:47:36.940 call the 800 number and we'll figure out how to get your back. So we get in the car, we drive,

00:47:41.480 called the 800 number and they tell us, oh no, your bags were actually at that airport. We're

00:47:45.220 45 minutes away now. We're in the car. And they said, oh no, your bags were there the whole time.

00:47:49.620 It's because the woman we were talking to didn't actually look. She pretended to look in the

00:47:53.380 computer. She didn't because she couldn't be bothered. And so, because she's too busy scrolling

00:47:56.900 TikTok or whatever. But this is what it is. By the way, the woman in front of me on my flight

00:48:03.480 yesterday had two small dogs with her, little tiny dogs, two of them, two of them, two dogs.

00:48:09.180 flight attendant comes over says are those service animals and she said yeah yeah it's like no

00:48:15.740 they're not they're clearly not they're the size of like a shoe and there's two of them

00:48:21.140 how can they both be service animals is one the service animal for the other do you have like a

00:48:27.500 blind dog that's your service animal and then you need a seeing dog that is the service animal for

00:48:33.180 the blind one how can they both be service animals they're definitely not they're obviously not what

00:48:38.880 service could an animal that weighs three pounds possibly provide you? So we all know that.

00:48:48.760 Like the woman knows she's full of it. The flight attendant knows it. Everyone in the

00:48:53.360 plane knows that like, this is clearly not, these are not service animals. You just have your pets

00:48:58.780 with you and nothing is done about it. So, and so am I complaining? Yes, I am, but it does matter.

00:49:05.040 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.

00:49:35.040 whatever. Like the only reason it matters is to, is to, for quality of life. And so when that

00:49:40.220 declines as it has been, it actually matters and it's fixable. And that's the thing that's

00:49:45.020 so frustrating is that these problems are fixable. They are so fixable. It doesn't have to be like

00:49:51.340 this. Starting with the dog thing. It's like, no, you can't like, here are a couple of valid

00:49:56.620 reasons why you can have a dog on a plane. And if it's not one of those reasons, then you can't

00:50:00.680 have one. And when someone comes and says, but I really want to have both of my dogs,

00:50:05.080 sorry, you can't. What are they going to do? Shoot you? I mean, maybe some of them will,

00:50:10.860 but I mean, that's a price worth paying. Okay. We deal with the crazy people are going to

00:50:16.580 overreact. It's a price worth paying so that the rest of us can live in a civilized society.

00:50:22.620 You're just basic standards. If you have someone at an airport who's really bad and like they don't

00:50:26.720 even look up from their phone while they're dealing with customers. They're terrible at their

00:50:31.380 job. They're awful. They hate their customers. Fire them. You could just fire them. You can do

00:50:37.840 that. And then they're going to be sad and they're going to say, why are you firing me? I'm mad.

00:50:42.420 Because you're terrible. You suck. Leave. And you could just do that. So there's a lot of things

00:50:48.400 that can be done to fix these problems and they're not done. And meanwhile, and not all these are

00:50:53.620 problems that can be fixed by the government. Some of them are. And the government has already

00:50:57.620 intruded itself quite a bit into the flying experience. Okay. We got to get strip searched

00:51:02.020 by the, by freaking government agents just to get them on a plane. And so you can't, you can't do

00:51:06.400 that. And then, and then, and then politicians want to wipe their hands with the rest of it and

00:51:09.600 say, there's nothing we could do. What are you talking about? We have to go through a freaking

00:51:15.940 X-ray, a government X-ray to get on the plane. Like you're already involved.

00:51:23.620 Quality of life, it does matter. And there's things that could be done that are not being done.

00:51:29.280 And meanwhile, our elected leaders are off in Disney World having a vacation. So if that doesn't

00:51:35.160 piss you off, I don't know what will. Most people walk around every day tired and irritable because

00:51:40.100 they've been sleeping on a garbage mattress for a decade. Well, if that's you waking up with back

00:52:31.840 we do that? This is good news that hasn't gotten nearly enough attention if you ask me. Space.com

00:52:36.960 reports NASA continues to target Wednesday for the launch of the Artemis 2 mission to fly astronauts

00:52:44.080 around the moon. It says teams are tracking zero technical issues leading up to the liftoff

00:52:48.000 window. So this could still change. It's a day away, a couple of days away. But as of right now,

00:52:54.540 the plan is to launch this mission, which is going to go around the moon. It'll be a mission

00:52:58.280 that sends people, sends humans farther from the earth than they've ever been before. It'll be

00:53:03.460 deeper into space than human beings have ever gone. And here's the NASA administrator on Fox

00:53:09.600 News talking about it. How exciting is it that we finally arrived at this point where American

00:53:17.060 astronauts and a Canadian astronaut are getting ready to embark on this journey to return

00:53:22.800 astronauts to the surface of the moon? President Trump created the Artemis program during his

00:53:27.220 first term. It was the first meaningful step since the Kennedy era of getting back to the moon.

00:53:32.580 He then created a massive plus up investment in NASA in the one big, beautiful bill. And now

00:53:38.240 Artemis 2 is on the launch pad. This mission, these astronauts, about 8.8 million pounds of

00:53:44.680 thrust, are going to launch on a trajectory around the moon. They're going to go potentially farther

00:53:49.980 into space than anyone's ever gone before, about 250,000 miles away from Earth. They're going to

00:53:55.060 test out their spacecraft. Ten days later, they come back to Earth. In 2027, we're going to launch

00:54:01.020 another moon rocket. This time, we're going to test out the spacecraft plus the lunar landers

00:54:05.620 and make sure that works really well.

00:54:07.400 And then in 2028, under President Trump's term,

00:54:10.200 we're going to land those landers on the moon.

00:54:12.900 American astronauts, NASA astronauts,

00:54:14.920 are going to return to the lunar surface.

00:54:17.340 So that's the plan.

00:54:18.300 They do this launch, go around the moon

00:54:19.640 farther than humans have ever gone before,

00:54:21.380 then launch the test, you know, test the landers.

00:54:25.680 And then in 2027, 2028, land humans on the moon again.

00:54:31.020 Trump is obviously motivated to move this along

00:54:34.580 because he wants to be the president when humans go back to the moon, which he should. That's a

00:54:39.640 good goal. That's a good goal for a president to have. That's a good ambition for a president to

00:54:44.220 have. And it's huge. This is historic. It's actually historic. It's a landmark moment for

00:54:49.460 the human species. And you know how I feel about this. I'm incredibly excited about it. And I

00:54:54.960 insist, I demand, I demand that everyone else be excited too. I don't get offended easily. I am

00:55:02.500 offended by people who are not excited that actually does offend it offends and baffles me

00:55:06.600 like it's hard to fathom how impoverished a person must be in mind and spirit to not see

00:55:13.320 the what is so amazing about this to not see the value in this the meaning in it

00:55:19.180 uh in space exploration in doing something that people have never done before

00:55:24.000 um you know there's the complaints that it's expensive it's expensive it's billions and

00:55:31.580 billions of dollars. Okay. So do you have any idea how much money we waste on the dumbest

00:55:40.060 bull you can possibly imagine? Like I'd rather spend billions of dollars on rocket ships and

00:55:47.480 lunar bases than on the stuff we waste money on every day. What about buying junk food for fat

00:55:54.560 people? What would you rather spend? You know how many billions, you know how many billions of

00:56:00.420 we've spent just on that alone? How many billions have we spent over the last 20 years

00:56:07.600 just on buying Doritos and Oreos for fat people? I'm telling you, it's in the billions for sure.

00:56:17.420 Personally, I'll take the rocket ships. I don't know about you. I'll take the rocket ships over

00:56:21.800 the fat people at Food Lion with carts full of junk food that we're paying for. I'll take the

00:56:29.620 rocket ships. I don't know about you. I think that's a better use of our money.

00:56:35.680 Western civilization has always been marked by its curiosity about the universe, its desire to grow,

00:56:41.800 to expand, to explore. That's always been what's made us great. Talk about make America great again.

00:56:50.080 Make America, like this, if make America great again is your motto, then yeah, going back to

00:56:56.200 the moon, like relaunching the space program in earnest. That's certainly part of it because

00:57:02.780 when America was great, we were doing stuff like that. Uh, none of us would exist if not

00:57:10.180 for Western civilizations, hunger and curiosity and adventurous spirit. And we've lost that

00:57:14.680 spirit in recent years and we have to reclaim it. We have to. And you know, yet this launch

00:57:20.480 is happening and it's getting very little attention. Uh, the reaction has been kind

00:57:24.320 of lukewarm, let's face it. And what you hear from some people is they'll say, and I was having

00:57:30.520 this conversation with someone today who said on social media, who said that, well, there are more

00:57:35.900 important things to worry about. We've got more important things to worry about. And they'll

00:57:40.040 pretend that they're just so focused on the issues of greater importance that they don't have the

00:57:44.580 mental real estate to devote to this historic space flight. And a guy said this to me today

00:57:50.440 on X. And I just, just out of curiosity, I looked at his page for two seconds. I saw his most recent

00:57:55.240 tweet was about March Madness. He said, he said, we don't have time for all this, Matt. You're so

00:57:59.880 focused on these silly things like space flight. You know what? We got bigger problems. I don't

00:58:04.160 have time to think about it. And then you go look at like the most recent thing he was talking about

00:58:07.980 is March Madness is great. Look at these people playing basketball. This is amazing. Sports are

00:58:14.220 fun. Like I like sports. I actually think sports are important in their own way. I've made that

00:58:18.600 case many times. I got no issue with somebody talking about sports, but you can't talk about

00:58:22.760 sports and spend hours of your time watching people throw balls into little hoops and then

00:58:28.320 tell me that space flight is a waste of time. You can't do that. Meanwhile, uh, what were people

00:58:38.000 talking about on social media over the last few days? That guy clavicular shot an alligator.

00:58:43.120 I, you know, I don't even, I was kind of checked out over the weekend in terms of the news.

00:58:48.600 because I was doing this event,

00:58:50.480 checked in a couple of times.

00:58:51.480 One of the only things I,

00:58:52.420 just based on like quickly scanning my feed,

00:58:55.080 one of the only things I know about that happened

00:58:57.180 is that somebody called Clavicular shot an alligator

00:59:00.440 because that was so many people were talking about it.

00:59:04.900 Or, you know, Harry Potter has a new HBO series coming out.

00:59:09.280 And so what you have is you have people talking about that,

00:59:12.680 right?

00:59:14.800 Space flight is not important at all.

00:59:17.240 We don't have time to worry about this.

00:59:18.600 Hey, did you hear the clavicular shot an alligator?

00:59:23.000 I don't know.

00:59:23.960 I mean, again, if you ask me,

00:59:27.580 I think the spaceflight thing is more important for the human species

00:59:31.680 and really a lot more interesting.

00:59:36.120 How much attention have we given to Savannah Guthrie's mom going missing?

00:59:40.860 Now, all due respect to Savannah Guthrie and to her mother,

00:59:43.380 I feel sorry for them.

00:59:44.160 It's an unfortunate situation.

00:59:45.600 I don't mean to be flimping about it,

00:59:47.120 but so much time is spent on that.

00:59:51.420 It's like, and I spent the whole time

00:59:53.420 trying to figure out like,

00:59:54.340 why does this matter this much?

00:59:56.520 I mean, again, I feel bad about it.

00:59:58.880 It's a bad thing.

01:00:00.840 People are murdered every day in this country.

01:00:03.260 Kidnappings happen every single day.

01:00:04.720 It's terrible.

01:00:06.080 Why is this one so important?

01:00:07.900 Why is it national news for months?

01:00:11.620 Why?

01:00:14.640 And yet it is.

01:00:15.580 Most people are absorbed into it.

01:00:18.980 And yet America doing something that human beings have never done before is somehow not interesting.

01:00:25.880 This is the United States of America doing something the human species has never, ever done.

01:00:33.380 They're going to go to a place that human beings have never been.

01:00:38.440 Americans will do this.

01:00:42.400 If you can't get excited about that, I don't know what to tell you.

01:00:45.580 now we know for the media we know what their we know what their excuse is right that's that's not

01:00:51.240 confusing to me at all we know the media is they're reporting on and all that kind of stuff

01:00:54.780 but they're not they are not giving this the kind of focus and attention it deserves and the reason

01:00:59.740 is that it's trump doing it obviously and so they're i mean the media was more interested in

01:01:05.700 katie perry going to the edge of space for 12 seconds than they are in this a lot more interested

01:01:14.000 and uh and we know the reason for that but and i don't care about that because we don't need the

01:01:20.100 media we don't need the media pay attention but all the rest of us like normal people americans

01:01:24.420 if you love your country this is just something that should matter to you it really should

01:01:29.080 the legacy media holds americans like us in contempt coverage on any issue from immigration

01:01:34.720 to crime accuses you not the criminals of being the ones really at fault but my friends at prager

01:01:40.620 you will not stand for that nonsense they promote american values with content that teaches what

01:01:45.540 matters most in new and creative ways through videos and more if you ever thought of supporting

01:01:50.240 prager you now is the time to do it every dollar you give is triple match for maximum impact the

01:01:55.240 time is running out that match opportunity ends march 31st prager you can help you win over your

01:02:00.340 family friends neighbors and anyone else who might be too trusting with what they see on social media

01:02:04.720 you haven't already you owe it to yourself to regularly check out its powerful content

01:02:09.240 PragerU somehow offers it all for free, too. It doesn't take a dime of taxpayer money. PragerU relies on supporters like you to shine a light for everyone. We all need PragerU to be equipped with quintessential American values and ideas that make our country so great. Don't let the lights go out on this beacon of American freedom. Visit PragerU.com slash GW and support its important work before it's too late.

01:02:32.460 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.

01:02:46.280 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.

01:02:59.540 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.

01:03:09.500 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.

01:03:16.280 Our opponents are so dumb. They're so dumb. And they're learning all the wrong lessons. And that's

01:03:20.560 fantastic. You know, they go out and find the two least likable women on the entire planet,

01:03:27.540 the two most viscerally unappealing members of the female sex. They run them. And then when

01:03:35.020 nobody likes them, they conclude that nobody will ever vote for a woman or a minority at all. So

01:03:40.680 they have to just run a white man. And somehow they conclude this even after Barack Obama

01:03:45.780 already won the presidency twice. A majority of Americans voted for a non-white person twice

01:03:53.520 already recently. But the fact that Kamala Harris, a woman who can't speak,

01:03:59.740 a woman with the charisma and intelligence of a plastic bag, the fact that she lost means that

01:04:05.920 nobody who isn't white and isn't male can ever win. That's great. I mean,

01:04:10.160 it really is indicative of how people think these days. You know, this is like the internet brain.

01:04:17.340 So somebody does something, Barack Obama wins the presidency, black guy wins. Then a few years

01:04:23.200 later, a black woman loses and they go, oh, well, I guess that means a black person could never win.

01:04:29.100 So they just, they draw sweeping generalized conclusions based on whatever the most recent

01:04:34.440 personal anecdotal experience was it's it's like a version of the thing this the thing you see

01:04:41.220 online all the time like for example i was complaining about the air travel thing on x

01:04:46.400 this woman responds and said i'm not lying this is what she says i'm not not kidding

01:04:50.700 i'm talking about my own experience and she says uh matt is lying my husband flies all the time

01:04:59.780 and he says it's fine. So the fact that I had a bad experience is disproven by the fact that

01:05:07.580 her husband had a good experience. The fact that I had, no, you're lying. That didn't happen to you

01:05:14.960 because this other thing over here happened to this person I know. And there's no way that two

01:05:20.480 different things happened. There's no way that in the world, two experiences were different and

01:05:27.480 happened around the same time. That's not possible. So it's a, it's a little bit of that.

01:05:34.460 It's a little bit, it's kind of the same mentality going on. And some of it, let's face it. Some of

01:05:37.700 it's a female phenomenon. It's partly internet brain. It's partly female brain. It's a real

01:05:42.100 thing. You know, women think more in terms of personal, immediate relational experience than

01:05:45.900 general data sets they do. And, um, that's why you see this all the time where you go, you know,

01:05:51.440 you say like, here's a thing that's generally true. And then a woman will respond and say,

01:05:55.580 No, I'm personally familiar with someone who that doesn't apply to.

01:06:00.620 And therefore, it's not true.

01:06:01.860 So you see, you say like, men are generally stronger than women.

01:06:06.340 And a woman says, oh, yeah, my cousin beat a guy in arm wrestling last Tuesday.

01:06:12.320 Okay, there's nothing to do, this does not at all call into question what I just said.

01:06:19.940 So there's some of that going on.

01:06:21.380 It's a little different, but it's a similar phenomenon.

01:06:22.820 Anyway, the point is, this is the wrong lesson, but I'm glad they're learning the wrong lesson.

01:06:28.080 And what that means is that we are in for another Tim Walls cringe fest.

01:06:33.780 Not him specifically, but a Tim Walls style cringe fest campaign that, unlike anything we've seen before.

01:06:43.900 Because remember, they already tried this.

01:06:45.840 They already tried their version of appealing to voters with a straight white Christian male.

01:06:50.700 even though Tim Walls actually does not fulfill

01:06:53.680 at least two of those four conditions.

01:06:55.960 But anyway, they tried

01:06:57.100 and now they're going to try again

01:06:58.940 and they're going to pander even harder.

01:07:02.680 They're going to have Gavin Newsom in overalls

01:07:05.500 with a long piece of like grass in his mouth

01:07:08.520 holding a banjo at a NASCAR race

01:07:12.180 in a straw hat,

01:07:15.600 shotgunning Natty Lights,

01:07:17.280 listening to like Toby Keith or something.

01:07:19.180 You cannot begin to imagine the cringe that we're about to all witness.

01:07:25.260 A cringe storm is brewing, and it's going to be hilarious.

01:07:31.120 Let's be honest about it.

01:07:33.260 The Democrats lost with Hillary Clinton, the least likable, least relatable person who has ever lived.

01:07:40.100 Truly.

01:07:42.080 And then they went off of the earth, and they went to outer space, and they found someone who's actually somehow worse.

01:07:47.180 They found some creature from a galaxy a billion light years away who can't even speak like a human.

01:07:55.540 And then they lost with her, too.

01:07:58.220 And their conclusion is that racism and sexism is what doomed their campaigns.

01:08:04.840 Basically, you know what it's like?

01:08:06.080 It's like they hired a woman to stand outside at a concession stand selling Big Gulp cups full of Drano to drink.

01:08:16.640 They hired a woman to sell cups of Drano.

01:08:20.320 They went to like a ball game and they had,

01:08:22.720 and people were buying hot dogs and beers and stuff.

01:08:24.800 And they set up a concession stand and they said,

01:08:27.480 hey, get your Drano here, drink it down.

01:08:30.160 We got a pint of Drano.

01:08:33.060 And everybody looked at them and was like, what?

01:08:35.120 What are you selling Drano to drink that?

01:08:37.420 Gross.

01:08:38.400 And they said, oh, I guess it's because I'm a black woman, huh?

01:08:41.840 I guess it's because you don't want to buy anything

01:08:43.880 from a black person or a woman.

01:08:46.520 That must be the reason.

01:08:50.600 It can't be that you don't want this specific thing that they're selling.

01:08:54.940 It can't be that that is revolting.

01:08:57.200 No, it's that you would.

01:08:58.700 If a white guy, if a white guy in a baseball hat,

01:09:02.980 if a straight white middle-aged guy in a baseball hat

01:09:06.540 was trying to sell you Drano to drink,

01:09:08.700 you'd gulp it right down, wouldn't you?

01:09:10.340 so now they're going to go man the Drano drink station with the worst caricature of a straight

01:09:18.740 white man the world has ever seen hoping that will fix it and it won't but it will be very

01:09:27.720 funny to watch and that is the good news we finally got around to it and that will do it

01:09:33.040 for the show today thanks for watching thanks for listening talk to you tomorrow have a great day

01:09:37.560 Godspeed.

01:09:45.360 I do believe that if people have committed treason against the United States of America,

01:09:51.120 their statues should not be in the Capitol.

01:09:55.040 History is written by the victors.

01:09:56.560 And since the 1960s, we've been told mostly by people whose ancestors didn't even live here during the war,

01:10:01.900 the South committed treason.

01:10:03.000 But if the Confederates were traitors, then why was Jefferson Davis never put on trial

01:10:11.000 for treason?

01:10:12.000 What were Abraham Lincoln and Andrew Johnson afraid of?

01:10:16.000 Do they know something they're not allowed to say today?

01:10:20.000 It's time for the truth.

01:10:22.000 So here it is.

01:10:23.000 Robert E. Lee was a military genius and a man of immense honor.

01:10:26.000 He was beloved by Americans from the North and South for a century after the war.

01:10:32.000 is the real history

01:10:33.460 of the Civil War.
