00:00:37.700 The walls are closing in on Donald Trump.

00:00:42.120 They've got him now.

00:00:44.440 After seven years of constant and consistently failed attempts to take the man down,

00:00:50.520 the libs, like Wile Yacht Coyote, like Elmer Fudd with Bugs Bunny,

00:00:54.920 the libs insist that they've finally got the goods to take down Donald Trump.

00:01:00.580 And the way they intend to do it is through a $250 million civil fraud suit against Trump and his children.

00:01:11.540 So what is the suit about?

00:01:13.900 New York Attorney General Letitia James is seeking a quarter of a billion dollars 0.91

00:01:18.140 on the grounds that Donald Trump, quote,

00:01:20.620 falsely inflated his net worth by billions of dollars to unjustly enrich himself and cheat the system.

00:01:29.800 I am announcing that today we are filing a lawsuit against Donald Trump for violating the law

00:01:36.920 as part of his efforts to generate profits for himself, his family, and his company.

00:01:44.520 The complaint demonstrates that Donald Trump falsely inflated his net worth by billions of dollars

00:01:52.320 to unjustly enrich himself and to cheat this system, thereby cheating all of us.

00:02:00.520 He did this with the help of the other defendants, his children, Donald Trump Jr., Ivanka Trump, and Eric Trump,

00:02:12.760 and former Trump Organization CFO Alan Weisselberg and Trump Organization Comptroller Jeffrey Makani.

00:02:20.220 Mr. Trump and the Trump Organization repeatedly and persistently manipulated the value of assets

00:02:28.120 to induce banks to lend money to the Trump Organization on more favorable terms

00:02:34.500 than would otherwise have been available to the company.

00:02:38.040 So in other words, to translate that, the way the libs intend to get Trump after years of failure

00:02:43.780 is to claim that he, perhaps the most famous braggart exaggerator rich guy in America,

00:02:51.200 may have bragged about and exaggerated his wealth at different times.

00:02:56.280 The lawsuit is not only preposterous, but it is actually, as far as I'm concerned, a good thing for Trump.

00:03:03.020 In politics, there's an old saying that the only thing worse than being talked about is not being talked about.

00:03:08.440 And the fact is, the libs keep going after him on flimsier and flimsier grounds.

00:03:15.260 Trump doesn't need to worry all that much about this political attack from a Democrat.

00:03:19.660 The only time Trump will need to worry between now and Election Day 2024

00:03:24.280 is when the Democrats stop attacking him tooth and nail.

00:03:28.720 I'm Michael Knowles. This is The Michael Knowles Show.

00:03:30.280 Welcome back to the show. My favorite comment yesterday is from Archetype Gotoh,

00:03:41.680 who says, if you're not socially conservative, you're not actually conservative.

00:03:45.860 Social relates to society. Society is where we live.

00:03:49.660 And your fiscally conservative money means nothing when the society around you is burning and rioting and censored.

00:03:56.740 Absolutely right. If you are not a social conservative, you are not a conservative.

00:04:02.400 You are not actually conserving anything except you think your own wealth,

00:04:07.440 but your own wealth is contingent on a stable and orderly society.

00:04:11.240 To be a rich man in a country that's completely fallen apart

00:04:14.600 is actually much worse than being a poor man in a flourishing society.

00:04:19.620 Your wealth isn't even worth what it would be.

00:04:21.980 If you want to conserve anything, you must be a social conservative.

00:04:25.720 Otherwise, you're just a greedy, short-sighted Democrat.

00:04:29.380 Don't do that, okay? We got to conserve stuff ourselves.

00:04:32.400 We got to do stuff ourselves.

00:04:33.620 When you got to fix your car yourself, you got to go check out Rock Auto.

00:04:37.020 Right now, head on over to rockauto.com.

00:04:38.900 Write Knowles in their How Did You Hear About Us box.

00:04:41.120 With the ever-increasing numbers of vehicle makes and models,

00:04:44.920 it is impossible for a traditional chain storefront to stock all the parts that you need.

00:04:49.640 Why would you wait while the man at the counter orders parts for your car

00:04:54.420 from the brand that his warehouse happens to carry?

00:04:57.820 When you've got a computer right there in your pocket, you can go to rockauto.com.

00:05:02.800 You can get all the parts that you need on a super easy-to-navigate catalog

00:05:06.180 for much less money than you will pay at the brick-and-mortar auto parts store.

00:05:11.460 You'll save a ton of time, and time is money.

00:05:13.820 You will always get the most reliably low prices, same prices for pros and do-it-yourselfers.

00:05:18.840 No gimmicks.

00:05:19.940 No, you got to log in at Tuesday at 3 a.m., and then you're going to save 20 percent.

00:05:23.580 None of that.

00:05:24.220 Always reliably low prices.

00:05:30.740 and any other part you need.

00:05:32.740 That's rockauto.com.

00:05:34.340 Be sure to write Knowles, K-N-O-W-L-E-S, in their How Did You Hear About Us box 1.00

00:05:37.520 so they know that we sent you.

00:05:39.780 If I were Donald Trump, I would be thrilled about this lawsuit.

00:05:43.560 I'd be a little irritated because it might cost me some money.

00:05:46.580 It might be a little bit of a hassle.

00:05:48.400 It's going to drag me into court.

00:05:49.860 That would be annoying.

00:05:50.860 But I would be thrilled about it because what this lawsuit means is that Donald Trump is

00:05:55.140 still the Democrats' number one target, which means that Donald Trump is still the number

00:05:59.660 one prospect for president for the Republicans in 2024.

00:06:03.220 That's it.

00:06:04.420 If Trump were not the number one prospect, Trump would not be being sued right now.

00:06:08.920 He would not be being criminally investigated.

00:06:10.500 He would not be being attacked by the Democrats.

00:06:14.020 The Democrats do, however, have other objects of ire and hatred right now.

00:06:18.460 There was a post the other day from one of these blue check Democrat strategists who said,

00:06:23.380 gosh, isn't this amazing?

00:06:25.360 The two top Republican choices for president in 2024, Trump and DeSantis, are both under criminal

00:06:32.220 investigation.

00:06:33.920 Yeah, right.

00:06:34.500 Exactly.

00:06:35.580 Funny how that works.

00:06:37.980 It's not that they were under criminal investigation and now they're the top picks for the Republicans

00:06:44.380 in 2024.

00:06:45.440 It's the opposite.

00:06:46.620 They were the top guys.

00:06:48.180 That is why they're under criminal investigation.

00:06:50.660 And it's not just Trump.

00:06:52.200 It's those two guys, Ron DeSantis as well.

00:06:55.200 Even libs, even people who appeal primarily to libs are pointing out Ron DeSantis is doing

00:07:01.200 a very, very good job positioning himself for the presidential cycle.

00:07:05.340 For months, Republican governors have sent busloads of illegal immigrants to sanctuary cities

00:07:10.300 like New York, D.C., and Chicago with the message of, if you like them so much, they're

00:07:14.840 yours.

00:07:15.280 Okay?

00:07:16.100 Well, just in time for Hispanic Heritage Month, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis upped the

00:07:20.040 game by sending two plain folds of immigrants to the East Coast elite's favorite vacation 0.99

00:07:25.400 island, Martha's Vineyard, Massachusetts.

00:07:27.660 I personally think it's genius.

00:07:28.860 But I wish that governors like Ron DeSantis and Greg Abbott would give Democratic governors

00:07:34.940 and mayors more of a heads up, because then that would expose the hypocrisy of the Democrats,

00:07:39.300 which is, they don't want immigrants here either.

00:07:43.000 He says, I personally think it's genius.

00:07:46.300 And what's great about it, he's obviously not being tongue-in-cheek.

00:07:49.800 He's not being ironic.

00:07:51.400 His body language is showing that he knows he's saying something that he's not supposed to

00:07:56.340 be saying.

00:07:56.800 He goes, look, I personally think it's genius.

00:07:58.860 And then he gives that side eye.

00:08:00.040 He kind of looks to the rest of the panel.

00:08:02.020 And what's really amazing is no one on that panel twitches a muscle.

00:08:06.800 They don't disagree.

00:08:08.220 They don't agree.

00:08:09.060 They stay perfectly still, because they know they're not allowed to agree.

00:08:14.700 Okay, if they do agree with him, they might get canceled.

00:08:17.820 But they also know that he's right.

00:08:20.160 And they know that DeSantis is right.

00:08:21.700 And so they don't want to agree with it.

00:08:24.540 They don't want to disagree with it.

00:08:25.700 They're just absolutely frozen there.

00:08:29.920 But of course, Charlemagne is correct.

00:08:33.260 Ron DeSantis is absolutely crushing it.

00:08:35.300 This is a strategy that a number of people had been talking about on the right.

00:08:39.480 Actually, Ted Cruz came up with the strategy.

00:08:41.280 He introduced a bill in the Senate called the Stop the Surge Act, which said, we're going

00:08:45.940 to open new ports of entry, and we're going to relocate the migrants to Rehoboth Beach, 1.00

00:08:49.520 Delaware, and Martha's Vineyard, and Nantucket, and the Hamptons, and all over the place.

00:08:53.760 But because the Republicans don't have the Senate majority, the Cruz bill didn't go anywhere.

00:08:57.500 Then Greg Abbott started to try to ship these migrants to liberal cities.

00:09:03.020 Problem is, New York City, or Washington, D.C., or Chicago even, the migrants can just 1.00

00:09:09.400 kind of disappear.

00:09:10.300 These are major American cities.

00:09:11.940 It causes some problems, but they can kind of paper over it.

00:09:14.580 It's only when you send it to the really, really fine liberal enclaves, when you send

00:09:18.660 it to Martha's Vineyard, one of the nicest beach towns in the country, or Cape Cod, or

00:09:23.720 the Hamptons, or Delaware, where Biden's from.

00:09:26.960 Then you can really see it, okay?

00:09:28.660 And so it was, Ron DeSantis didn't come up with a strategy, but he did implement it and

00:09:33.500 sort of fine tune it and perfect it.

00:09:36.340 And it's genius.

00:09:37.220 Of course, it's genius.

00:09:38.380 The Democrats have no way to respond to it.

00:09:41.140 The best thing they can do is go back to their regular old tricks where they say, this

00:09:45.280 strategy, whatever the Republicans are doing, it's dangerous.

00:09:49.580 It's tantamount to murder.

00:09:51.740 They're putting lives at risk.

00:09:54.060 Has the president reached out to any of these governors?

00:09:56.680 So here's the thing, and I was asked this question earlier today.

00:09:59.980 I don't know why we would reach out to a governor or governors who are clearly playing a political

00:10:06.820 game, right?

00:10:08.120 It is something that they're doing not to find a solution, but to literally put people

00:10:15.240 lives at risk.

00:10:17.300 To literally put those lives at risk, not figuratively, not metaphorically, they are

00:10:21.940 literally putting people's lives at risk by sending them to Martha's Vineyard, one of

00:10:28.840 the nicest, safest places in the country.

00:10:30.720 Well, putting their lives at risk because let's say that one of the Venezuelan illegal aliens, 1.00

00:10:36.680 one of the migrants, goes and gets a delicious Martha's Vineyard lobster roll.

00:10:42.400 And let's say while this migrant is sitting on the beach enjoying that tasty vineyard lobster 1.00

00:10:46.760 roll, he discovers that he has a shellfish allergy and he doesn't have his EpiPen on him.

00:10:54.020 That, hey, look, his life is at risk.

00:10:56.220 He's not going to be getting lobster rolls in Del Rio or El Paso, that's for sure.

00:11:00.600 Of course, Del Rio and El Paso and all the border towns are in every other way much more

00:11:05.540 dangerous to the migrants than Martha's Vineyard or Rehoboth Beach, Delaware or Nantucket or 1.00

00:11:11.420 anywhere else.

00:11:12.940 But no, it's putting lives at risk unless we are misinterpreting what Corrine Jean-Pierre

00:11:17.340 is saying there.

00:11:19.040 Maybe what she means is not that the migrants are at greater risk in Martha's Vineyard than

00:11:25.220 they are on the border.

00:11:26.040 That's obviously preposterous.

00:11:27.260 Maybe what she's saying is that Ron DeSantis is putting the lives of the people of Martha's

00:11:33.900 Vineyard at risk because the migrants are bringing with them crime. 1.00

00:11:37.840 100% of them are bringing crime because their very presence in America is breaking one of

00:11:42.360 the most fundamental laws.

00:11:43.620 But furthermore, the only way that you cross that border illegally is by paying off the cartels,

00:11:48.760 these absolute savage animals.

00:11:50.860 Some of the most terrifying, violent people on the planet, and then you go into debt to

00:11:56.740 those cartels and you've got to pay back those debts when you're here in America.

00:12:00.220 So yes, it's true.

00:12:01.280 The migrants, the ones who cross illegally, bring a ton of crime. 1.00

00:12:05.120 They bring a ton of violent crime and they bring sex trafficking and prostitution and all

00:12:08.900 the rest of it.

00:12:09.880 So yeah, that's true.

00:12:11.280 Ron DeSantis, I guess, is putting people's lives at risk in Martha's Vineyard by bringing

00:12:16.360 the dangerous migrants to them. 1.00

00:12:18.540 Fair enough.

00:12:19.220 But it's the people of Martha's Vineyard.

00:12:21.200 It's the liberals who are bringing the migrants into America more generally. 0.89

00:12:25.360 They're the ones who are putting all the border towns at risk and Americans generally at risk.

00:12:30.420 So okay, if this is a risk to people's lives, then stop allowing the cartels to smuggle people

00:12:35.980 across the border.

00:12:37.880 Either way, either way, the narrative coming out of the White House does not make sense.

00:12:43.880 Those sweltering summer nights that leave you tossing and turning, desperately kicking off

00:12:47.360 the covers, don't have to ruin your sleep.

00:13:12.140 Limited time only, exclusions do apply.

00:13:14.060 If they wanted to make sense, now that they've been totally exposed as hypocrites, not just my word,

00:13:21.480 also the word of Charlemagne, Charlemagne the God, a liberal radio host.

00:13:26.260 If they want to seem even somewhat coherent here, what they're going to have to do is send those

00:13:33.840 migrants back. 0.96

00:13:34.680 Just the same way that the people of Martha's Vineyard deported those migrants to a military

00:13:38.260 camp within 44 hours, so too the Democrats at the national level need to send these people back.

00:13:42.520 Joe Biden says, can't do it.

00:13:44.600 It's just not rational.

00:13:46.340 On the border, why is the border more overwhelmed under your watch, Mr. President?

00:13:50.740 Because there are three countries that are never having, there are fewer, 0.98

00:13:55.620 fewer immigrants coming from Central America and from Mexico.

00:14:00.640 This is a totally different circumstance.

00:14:02.880 What's on my watch now is Venezuela, Cuba, and Nicaragua.

00:14:08.200 And the ability to send them back to those states is not rational.

00:14:13.060 You could send them back and have them, we're working with Mexico and other countries to 0.88

00:14:16.760 see if we can stop the flow.

00:14:18.400 But that's the difference.

00:14:19.500 Thank you.

00:14:19.640 President, your attention is sending migrants to Delaware. 0.72

00:14:23.980 Do you have any comment or response to that, sir?

00:14:26.640 He should come visit.

00:14:27.580 We have a beautiful short way.

00:14:29.720 He should come visit.

00:14:30.860 Delaware?

00:14:31.280 I like Delaware.

00:14:32.040 What's going on in Delaware?

00:14:33.060 Bye, everybody.

00:14:34.800 It's just not rational.

00:14:36.260 Yes, the White House is not being rational right now.

00:14:38.380 What does he mean it's not rational to deport the migrants? 0.60

00:14:41.860 It is rational to deport foreigners who are coming into your country against the will of 1.00

00:14:48.060 your citizens and against your nation's laws.

00:14:51.500 It is very rational to deport them.

00:14:53.720 Of course it is.

00:14:54.460 It's very rational for political leaders who are accountable to their people, who are actually

00:14:59.120 accountable to their constituents, to do what their constituents want within the bounds of

00:15:02.240 the law.

00:15:02.660 That's very rational.

00:15:03.580 But I think what he's trying to imply by the rationality here is, look, if they were just

00:15:09.580 Mexicans, it would be, we would be rational to send them back to Mexico. 1.00

00:15:13.960 But these guys come from Venezuela, and that's not rational to send them back.

00:15:18.360 Why not?

00:15:19.920 Is he, I can't tell if he's actually trying to make this argument or if he's just gotten

00:15:24.200 confused and is babbling as he often does.

00:15:26.020 But is he actually suggesting that because we share a border with Mexico, we can send

00:15:30.860 them back.

00:15:31.580 But because we would need an airplane, we would, it's, it would be, it's not rational to send

00:15:37.500 the Venezuelans back.

00:15:38.880 We have airplanes.

00:15:40.480 We send migrants around on airplanes all the time. 1.00

00:15:43.200 Joe Biden sends migrants around on airplanes.

00:15:45.080 How come it's rational to take illegal aliens who cross the Rio Grande and end up in Texas? 0.64

00:15:49.980 Why is it rational to put them on an airplane and ship them into the interior of the United

00:15:54.280 States, but it's not rational to take those same migrants on those same airplanes and bring 1.00

00:15:58.620 them back to the countries that they are actually citizens of?

00:16:02.380 Why?

00:16:03.780 It's the opposite, right?

00:16:04.840 It's much more rational to send them back to their own countries. 1.00

00:16:07.100 It's much less rational to put them on the airplane, send them into the middle of America. 0.97

00:16:11.140 Why is it?

00:16:11.640 We can't send them to Venezuela, which is where they're from. 1.00

00:16:14.260 We can't send them to Martha's Vineyard, which is where all the liberal elites live. 0.96

00:16:17.520 But we can send them to red states and purple districts and border towns.

00:16:23.400 We can do that.

00:16:24.180 Why is that?

00:16:24.780 How is that rational?

00:16:27.140 Doesn't, it has nothing to do with rationality.

00:16:29.020 It has nothing to do with reason or a logical argument.

00:16:30.920 It has everything to do with power politics.

00:16:33.340 The migrants are more politically useful to Biden in the purple districts and the red states

00:16:37.220 than they are to Biden either in Martha's Vineyard or in their own countries.

00:16:41.740 Because mass migration is the primary electoral strategy of the Democrats and has been for 50

00:16:46.860 years, more than 50 years.

00:16:49.080 That's why.

00:16:49.820 It's not, it's not about rationality or reason or justice.

00:16:53.160 It's about bare knuckle brawling political interest. 0.81

00:16:56.280 And the Democrats are willing to force their political will, which is unjust.

00:16:59.160 And conservatives are not at all willing until very, very recently at least to, to pursue

00:17:05.240 their own political will and exercise political power, which is just.

00:17:08.160 Speaking of Joe Biden's lack of rationality, this could be a topic for weeks and weeks.

00:17:16.280 You know, Joe Biden said a couple of days ago that the COVID pandemic is over.

00:17:21.060 This was in his interview with 60 Minutes.

00:17:23.540 Really, really great news.

00:17:25.380 Wonderful stuff.

00:17:26.800 That is the one glimmer of hope that we saw out of that whole interview.

00:17:30.120 And then, of course, because it was a glimmer of hope, the White House had to come back.

00:17:34.900 The White House, whatever the White House is, had to come back and contradict the president

00:17:40.140 of the United States.

00:17:41.860 The president also in the 60 Minutes interview said that the pandemic is over.

00:17:46.600 There's been quite a bit of pushback to that statement by the president.

00:17:51.140 Where is he today on that?

00:17:52.820 So just to step back for a second, what we saw during that interview, 60 Minutes interview,

00:17:58.220 when he made those comments, he was walking through the Detroit car show, the halls of

00:18:04.380 the Detroit car show, and he was looking around.

00:18:06.720 We have to remember the last time that they had held that event was three years ago.

00:18:11.220 Even as we're talking about UNGA, the president's going to speak shortly, as I just mentioned,

00:18:15.820 that hasn't been held in person for about three years as well.

00:18:19.780 So we are in a different time.

00:18:21.940 He's been very consistent about that.

00:18:23.800 And the reason why is because we are now prepared.

00:18:26.500 We are now ready.

00:18:27.500 We know how to deal with this pandemic.

00:18:30.800 It is now more manageable.

00:18:32.500 It's not as disruptive.

00:18:34.380 Now, what he has been very consistent about is that we have to continue to have a front

00:18:38.840 foot on this so we have the funding so that we are ahead of this, of any other, you know,

00:18:46.000 as we look at future vaccines and future treatments.

00:18:49.840 Can anybody translate that into English for me?

00:18:52.260 That was a whole lot of words to say, ignore the president, because the president said the

00:18:58.800 pandemic is over.

00:19:00.340 And then his spokesman said the pandemic is not over.

00:19:03.480 And then the spokesman said implausibly.

00:19:05.600 No, no, the president has been very, very consistent that the pandemic is not over.

00:19:09.260 For instance, when he said a couple of days ago that the pandemic is over, what he really

00:19:13.080 meant was the pandemic is not over.

00:19:15.440 It's sometimes when he says one thing, he actually means it's opposite.

00:19:19.800 And so that's why he's been so consistent.

00:19:22.020 And that's why the pandemic is not over.

00:19:24.120 Now, what does this mean?

00:19:26.780 It means that Joe Biden misspeaks.

00:19:29.780 Well, Joe Biden was actually right.

00:19:31.180 The pandemic has been over for years at this point.

00:19:34.060 And the pandemic was never nearly as great a threat to people's health as the Libs said

00:19:40.240 that it was.

00:19:40.600 But the Libs wanted to take a lot of power. 0.99

00:19:42.200 And so they exploited it and were able to rig a presidential election and lock us all down

00:19:46.480 for two years, two and a half years as a result of that.

00:19:49.660 A topic for another day.

00:19:50.820 Joe Biden actually was right.

00:19:51.680 His White House, his spokesman is wrong on the issue.

00:19:57.600 However, the White House and his spokesman apparently have the final say.

00:20:04.060 It's not as though the White House, some spokesman came out and said something and Biden came out

00:20:07.480 and said, no, that's BS.

00:20:08.480 We're doing it my way.

00:20:09.180 It was the opposite.

00:20:10.280 Biden, nominally the president of the United States, says something.

00:20:13.420 And then the White House corrects him and the White House gets its way.

00:20:17.040 So it raises this question beyond COVID, beyond the lockdowns.

00:20:19.800 Who is running the country?

00:20:22.040 Who is making the shots?

00:20:23.680 This has been hotly debated.

00:20:25.960 Some people think it's a shadowy cabal of former Obama type people.

00:20:30.060 Some people think it's Ron Klain, the White House chief of staff.

00:20:32.700 Some people say it's the deep state and the bureaucracy.

00:20:35.760 And some people have argued, no, it's Joe Biden.

00:20:37.560 Joe Biden is the decider, ultimately.

00:20:40.120 He might not know which end is up, but he's making the decisions.

00:20:42.840 When you're president, you're president.

00:20:44.060 I think that the only theory that we can completely disregard is that last theory.

00:20:49.060 Is every time now that Joe Biden disagrees with the White House, which should be synonymous.

00:20:57.040 Joe Biden and the White House should be the same thing, but they're not.

00:20:59.440 And every time there's a disagreement between the two, Joe Biden loses.

00:21:03.840 So Joe Biden is obviously not calling the shots here.

00:21:07.820 That's a big problem for self-government. 0.91

00:21:09.760 Even if you think that there are some questions surrounding the 2020 election and the way that

00:21:14.840 all the rules were changed right beforehand and the way that it took weeks to finish counting

00:21:18.100 the ballots and the way that there were all sorts of strange anomalies.

00:21:21.040 Okay, regardless of that, at least Joe Biden ostensibly represents the will of the American

00:21:28.280 people.

00:21:28.960 He ostensibly was elected and is an accountable official in the United States.

00:21:34.260 And not even that guy is calling the shots.

00:21:36.240 So who is?

00:21:37.220 Who is?

00:21:37.620 How much of a say do we really have in our government?

00:21:41.120 How much of a say do we really have in our sacred democracy that the libs keep babbling

00:21:45.160 about, even as they continue to suppress the democratic elements in our government, including

00:21:50.800 Joe Biden, including the guy that they say is their elected president?

00:21:58.340 That's what, when Corrine Jean-Pierre wants a policy to go through and Joe Biden wants a policy

00:22:02.940 to go through, Corrine Jean-Pierre gets her way.

00:22:05.140 Speaking of black women, John Boyega, who is an actor, I think he was in the new Star Wars

00:22:11.220 movies.

00:22:12.000 John Boyega, and I mentioned this a little bit at the end of the show yesterday, is making

00:22:16.280 headlines because he said an audacious, shocking thing.

00:22:20.440 He said that he, a black guy, only dates black women.

00:22:24.980 To GQ, he said, I only date black.

00:22:27.560 Then it's about chemistry, personality, goals.

00:22:29.560 Is there a synergy?

00:22:30.320 Can I help you?

00:22:31.720 Can you help me?

00:22:34.300 Again, it's kind of a tawdry and clinical way to view a love affair.

00:22:38.800 Can I help you?

00:22:39.500 Can you help me?

00:22:40.160 Can we advance each other's interests?

00:22:41.480 Okay, I love you, honey.

00:22:43.440 No, let's do it.

00:22:45.320 Let's advance each other's interests.

00:22:47.060 That's not what Cole Porter's saying.

00:22:48.260 No, not a great way to look at love.

00:22:50.000 But he's saying, look, that's how it is.

00:22:51.880 And then he got in trouble because he said he only dates black chicks.

00:22:54.500 And when he got pushed back, he said, when people talk about preferring brunettes or

00:22:59.600 blondes, they're not talking about wearing a wig. 1.00

00:23:01.460 My preference is not a topic for debate.

00:23:05.480 And I agree with him here.

00:23:08.160 Why is it wrong for a black guy to prefer to date black chicks? 0.71

00:23:13.820 I don't think, why is it wrong for a Japanese guy to prefer to date Japanese chicks?

00:23:18.420 Why is it wrong for a white guy to prefer to date white chicks? 0.95

00:23:21.060 Oh, that's very wrong.

00:23:22.180 You see, because John Boyega will get away with this.

00:23:26.980 He ultimately won't get in trouble because black people can't be racist.

00:23:33.080 If a Japanese guy wanted to date a Japanese chick, he probably wouldn't get in trouble. 0.75

00:23:36.540 But if a white actor came out and said, I only date white, I only date white chicks, 1.00

00:23:39.880 it would be a national scandal.

00:23:41.740 He would certainly be canceled from Hollywood.

00:23:43.400 He would never work again.

00:23:44.360 He would be called a Ku Klux Klansman. 0.59

00:23:47.960 Why?

00:23:48.320 I don't see any problem with any of that for any people.

00:23:53.660 One, it's difficult to control one's preferences.

00:23:58.940 I'm not saying it's impossible to shape one's preferences.

00:24:01.300 But genetics and the way that you are raised and culture and nurture are going to shape those things.

00:24:07.060 Why is it that John Boyega has to date, I don't know, a Middle Eastern chick? 1.00

00:24:15.020 Why does he have to date a white chick or a Chinese chick to advance political correctness? 0.93

00:24:21.900 Is the man not allowed to have the love affairs that he wants?

00:24:24.400 Is the man not allowed to pick the wife that he wants? 0.91

00:24:27.140 Shouldn't that be the case for all of us?

00:24:28.580 Why do we have to suppress perfectly ordinary normal things all in the name of political correctness?

00:24:36.700 I think it's fine.

00:24:38.520 I hereby uncancel John Boyega.

00:24:41.020 John Boyega, fine in my book.

00:24:42.460 Those movies are not fine in my book, but John Boyega is fine.

00:25:05.880 Speaking of racial identity, Sonny Hostin on The View is not just attacking Trump,

00:25:12.980 not even just attacking Ron DeSantis.

00:25:15.100 There is a third Republican prospect for president that the libs are beginning to go after.

00:25:21.080 That would be Nikki Haley.

00:25:22.700 How are they going after her on racial grounds?

00:25:27.180 I think we've got some if they're willing to challenge Trump.

00:25:29.680 I'd love to see Nikki Haley.

00:25:30.880 I'd love to see Liz Cheney.

00:25:32.260 I'd love to see Chris McInerney.

00:25:33.000 Nikki Haley, the chameleon, and Liz Cheney, who's our savior.

00:25:36.320 Flip-flop.

00:25:36.340 I disagree.

00:25:37.120 I think that Nikki Haley was an incredibly effective governor of South Carolina. 1.00

00:25:40.900 What is her real name again?

00:25:42.740 Wait, Alyssa, I have a question for you.

00:25:43.880 Aside from Ron DeSantis.

00:25:45.260 A lot of people don't go by their actual real name.

00:25:47.300 What is her name?

00:25:48.440 I believe it's, I don't want to mispronounce it.

00:25:50.520 It's Indian, but she's, her background's Indian.

00:25:52.380 But she doesn't necessarily, you know, I think if she leaned into.

00:25:54.840 A ton of people don't go by their killer name.

00:25:57.220 Wait, a series.

00:25:58.480 So Nikki Haley's given name is not actually Nikki.

00:26:02.300 It's some Indian sounding name, but she goes by Nikki because this is America and people

00:26:06.000 speak English and because she's in politics and I don't know, and maybe just because she

00:26:10.460 prefers the name Nikki.

00:26:11.240 That's fine.

00:26:11.600 It's a very nice name.

00:26:13.020 And Sonny Hostin is saying that's wrong.

00:26:14.980 She can't do that.

00:26:15.880 She's not allowed to take on a more English sounding name.

00:26:19.540 That, according to Sonny Hostin, whose name is Anuncia or Anunciata or something.

00:26:27.080 It's a Spanish version of, of the name for the, I think it's, I think it's Anuncia or

00:26:35.140 something.

00:26:35.780 No, I'm sorry.

00:26:36.860 Asuncion.

00:26:37.380 There it is.

00:26:37.920 Asuncion.

00:26:38.400 So it's not, it's not the Annunciation.

00:26:39.900 It's the Assumption.

00:26:40.560 But she's got a Spanish name. 1.00

00:26:42.280 It's a very nice name and she prefers to go by an Anglicized version of that.

00:26:47.600 What do we take away from this?

00:26:49.080 Two things.

00:26:50.260 Has nothing to do with the names, what names people want to go by.

00:26:53.460 They go after Ted Cruz for this very same thing.

00:26:56.060 Ted Cruz's name is Rafael Edward Cruz, but his father's name is also Rafael.

00:27:01.540 So when Ted was a kid, people would call him Felito.

00:27:05.160 And Felito is not a name that a young, young American boy wants to be called.

00:27:09.340 Or really any boy wants to be called, I think.

00:27:11.040 And he was sort of getting made fun of for that name.

00:27:13.380 And so he went with a nickname that is part of one of his names.

00:27:17.180 A nickname for Edward, his middle name is Ted.

00:27:19.420 And he goes by Ted.

00:27:20.140 Okay.

00:27:20.400 Is there any problem with that?

00:27:21.180 Ted, I don't see any problem with that.

00:27:23.300 Especially if you're living in America.

00:27:24.740 America, we speak English for now.

00:27:26.980 And we speak it at least relatively coherently before all the woke people redefine all the

00:27:31.280 words.

00:27:31.560 And so he goes by Ted.

00:27:32.300 That's fine.

00:27:33.180 Certainly makes a lot more sense than somebody by the name of Robert Francis O'Rourke going

00:27:38.700 by Beto.

00:27:39.360 It's kind of weird for a white guy with an English-sounding name, Irish-sounding name,

00:27:44.740 to go by a Spanish name when he lives in America, which ostensibly is supposed to speak English.

00:27:49.360 But okay, even Beto, whatever.

00:27:51.080 Or Sonny Hosta wants to go by Sonny.

00:27:53.220 But Nikki Haley's not allowed to do it.

00:27:55.400 Beto's allowed to go by Beto.

00:27:56.640 Ted's not allowed to go by Ted.

00:27:58.540 Asuncion is allowed to go by Sonny.

00:28:00.460 Nikki's not allowed to go by Nikki.

00:28:03.320 Why?

00:28:04.520 Because it has nothing to do with any principle.

00:28:06.120 It has nothing to do with any names.

00:28:07.160 It has nothing to do with any kind of racial politics even.

00:28:09.660 It's really just because half of those people are Democrats.

00:28:14.200 Half of those people are Republicans.

00:28:16.800 It isn't even on the basis of race.

00:28:19.000 Nikki Haley is Indian and Ted Cruz is Cuban and Irish and Italian and a bunch of other things.

00:28:24.640 And Beto O'Rourke is a white guy and Sonny Hosta is Hispanic.

00:28:28.220 But it actually doesn't have to do with race.

00:28:30.060 It's just the Democrats get to do whatever the Democrats want.

00:28:32.640 The Republicans can't do anything right.

00:28:35.160 And that's it.

00:28:35.700 So there's no principle here.

00:28:37.820 And as we approach the 2022 midterms and as we get into 2024, we have to remember, as

00:28:43.320 these attacks kick up, we have to remember, they are completely baseless.

00:28:46.800 There is no reason to take any of them seriously.

00:28:49.020 Actually, you don't have to hand it to the Democrats.

00:28:51.760 It's completely in bad faith.

00:28:53.960 It's all BS.

00:28:55.200 Just laugh it off and ignore it.

00:28:56.940 For goodness sakes, they're going after Nikki Haley.

00:28:59.460 Nikki Haley, who I really like personally.

00:29:01.960 Nikki Haley is a very moderate politician.

00:29:03.800 OK, and I promise you, if Nikki Haley somehow got the Republican nominee in 2024, they would

00:29:10.280 call her Eva Braun. 0.97

00:29:12.200 OK, and they'd probably call her Hitler. 0.98

00:29:14.200 They'd probably just go all the way and call her Hitler. 1.00

00:29:15.860 They would find a way to make Nikki Haley a far right, radical, semi-fascist, anyone. 1.00

00:29:22.540 They would do it to anybody.

00:29:23.420 OK, and they'd find all these ways to attack her that come from principles that they would

00:29:30.840 never hold themselves by.

00:29:31.900 And it's all just so fake.

00:29:32.920 Just totally ignore it.

00:29:34.520 OK, you know where you see this most clearly is when the libs talk about political violence.

00:29:38.820 There was, I meant to get to this yesterday.

00:29:40.000 We'll get to it now.

00:29:41.240 Horrible, horrifying example of political violence.

00:29:43.560 Because a 41-year-old liberal just murdered a poor 18-year-old Republican kid, specifically

00:29:51.180 because the kid was a Republican.

00:29:54.380 That's it.

00:29:55.860 There are no additional factors here.

00:29:58.640 This is in all of the reporting and apparently in the guy's own words.

00:30:03.060 This 41-year-old liberal killed this poor 18-year-old kid because he viewed the 18-year-old kid

00:30:11.620 as a, quote, Republican extremist.

00:30:14.920 They had a debate over politics and then the 41-year-old Dem killed the 18-year-old Republican.

00:30:21.320 Ran him over with his car.

00:30:23.260 Then the good news is this 41-year-old Dem was charged with vehicular homicide.

00:30:29.380 And then the bad news is, because we have completely abandoned the justice system in this country,

00:30:35.720 when it is politically convenient for Democrats, the guy got out on bond.

00:30:38.960 $50,000 bond, the guy's out.

00:30:41.120 The guy murders an 18-year-old kid simply for the crime of being a Republican,

00:30:46.540 runs him over with a car, then gets out on $50,000 bond.

00:30:51.160 There are basically no examples of political violence from the right in recent years.

00:30:57.720 Do you remember, there's one example from that Unite the Right rally

00:31:01.880 where a right-wing guy apparently hit a left-wing gal with his car.

00:31:09.520 And it was considered the worst terrorist attack ever.

00:31:13.520 The guy is for sure going to rot if he doesn't receive the death penalty.

00:31:17.640 He was considered worse than Hitler.

00:31:20.460 And he committed a terrible crime and he's paying the punishment for it.

00:31:23.300 But this Democrat guy committed the exact same crime.

00:31:30.900 Much more clearly, by the way, too.

00:31:32.560 At least with the Unite the Right rally, there was a ton of political violence going on on both sides.

00:31:37.000 It was a melee.

00:31:37.820 There was basically gang violence going on in the street.

00:31:40.160 Here, it was just two guys.

00:31:41.600 It was an older Democrat guy who got into an argument about politics with a young Democrat teenager,

00:31:47.220 or a young Republican teenager, and then he decided to get in his car premeditated,

00:31:52.820 no political violence going on around him, and just mow this guy down.

00:31:56.740 And he gets out $50,000 bond.

00:31:58.620 You won't hear about this from the liberal outlets.

00:32:02.840 All of the political violence, statistically all of it, is coming from the left.

00:32:06.820 And we are getting speeches from the President of the United States

00:32:09.120 calling Republicans extremist, fascist, domestic terrorists.

00:32:12.880 Biden's DOJ is referring to ordinary citizens as domestic terrorists.

00:32:17.560 Parents who question their child's curricula in school.

00:32:22.520 And the fact that the kids are being taught critical race theory and radical gender theory

00:32:26.840 are being referred to as extremists, real, potentially violent threats in America.

00:32:33.600 And the DOJ and the FBI are looking into them.

00:32:35.440 It's just so bogus.

00:32:36.420 Okay, obviously there are two justice systems in America. 1.00

00:32:43.120 And so why do I say it?

00:32:43.780 Again, not just to point out the hypocrisy and try to reason with the libs

00:32:46.900 and get them to change their minds.

00:32:47.920 That's not what's going to happen.

00:32:49.060 I'm really trying to reason with the Republicans here and the conservatives and say,

00:32:52.860 hey, guys, especially the squishes in the middle, this is all fake.

00:32:56.440 Never give in an inch.

00:32:58.100 Don't talk about January 6th.

00:32:59.700 Don't talk about the violent threats from the Republicans.

00:33:02.760 It's all just made up, guys.

00:33:04.280 And where it's not made up, there is like the tiniest little minuscule half kernel of truth

00:33:10.040 that is then blown into proportions that take it into the realm of the absurd.

00:33:14.460 Meanwhile, actual, very clear violence and threats and all sorts of other nefarious things from the left

00:33:23.920 are completely ignored and, in fact, even justified.

00:33:27.340 Okay, it's just a liberal narrative that is totally fake.

00:33:30.000 Just ignore it.

00:33:30.920 Okay, ignore it and just keep on keeping on and laugh at these people when they accuse you of anything.

00:33:35.380 The liberal narrative, we had a wonderful opportunity the other day to pull up a big bag of popcorn,

00:33:42.540 get a front row seat to watching a liberal narrative collapse in real time.

00:33:45.940 This went viral.

00:33:47.060 It was Don Lemon on CNN interviewing a British journalist about the Queen's death.

00:33:52.220 And Don Lemon, just like all the libs, trying to use any political or historical event to rewrite that event

00:33:59.660 and then use it to push his own political agenda that is totally divorced from reality.

00:34:05.260 One thing I love about the British, they're just, they've just got a sort of grace to them.

00:34:09.840 You know, they've got a sort of ease in the way that they speak, in the way that they can make an argument.

00:34:16.380 Listen to how this British journalist just artfully dismantles Don Lemon's stupid argument about the Queen.

00:34:23.660 Well, this is coming when, you know, there's all of this wealth and you hear about it comes as England is facing rising costs of living,

00:34:31.380 a living crisis, austerity budget cuts, and so on.

00:34:34.860 And then you have those who are asking for reparations for colonialism,

00:34:39.800 and they're wondering, you know, $100 billion, $24 billion here and there, $500 million there.

00:34:46.160 Some people want to be paid back and members of the public are wondering,

00:34:49.880 why are we suffering when you are, you know, you have all of this vast wealth?

00:34:53.600 Those are legitimate concerns.

00:34:55.960 Well, I think you're right about reparations in terms of if people want it, though,

00:34:59.780 what they need to do is you always need to go back to the beginning of a supply chain.

00:35:03.660 Where was the beginning of the supply chain?

00:35:05.920 That was in Africa.

00:35:07.020 And when, across the entire world, when slavery was taking place,

00:35:11.020 which was the first nation in the world that abolished slavery?

00:35:14.420 The first nation in the world to abolish it.

00:35:16.360 It was started by William Wilberforce, was the British.

00:35:19.480 In Great Britain, they abolished slavery.

00:35:21.860 2,000 naval men died on the high seas trying to stop slavery.

00:35:27.740 Why?

00:35:28.400 Because the African kings were rounding up their own people. 1.00

00:35:31.300 They had them on cages waiting in the beaches.

00:35:33.600 No one was running into Africa to get them.

00:35:35.600 And I think you're totally right.

00:35:37.000 If reparations need to be paid,

00:35:38.700 we need to go right back to the beginning of that supply chain and say,

00:35:41.760 who was rounding up their own people and having them handcuffing cages.

00:35:45.760 Absolutely, that's where they should start.

00:35:48.020 And maybe, I don't know, the descendants of those families where they died in the high seas

00:35:52.060 trying to stop the slavery, that those families should receive something too, I think, at the same time.

00:35:58.900 It's an interesting discussion, Hillary.

00:36:00.740 Thank you very much.

00:36:01.580 I appreciate it.

00:36:02.840 Yeah, it is an interesting discussion, isn't it, Don Lemon?

00:36:05.420 I love to.

00:36:06.300 She did it so gracefully that he couldn't even fight back against her.

00:36:10.260 Obviously, he doesn't have any facts at his disposal.

00:36:12.260 He was just spouting nonsense.

00:36:13.620 And she just so gracefully, with a nice little smile, said,

00:36:16.600 well, actually, Don Lemon, the stupid point that you're making really ought to be flipped on its head

00:36:21.340 because the British are the least culpable people in the entire world for slavery.

00:36:25.260 I don't know.

00:36:25.820 I'm kind of doing a little bit of a Paul McCartney man, you know.

00:36:28.760 I don't know that I can really do a proper British accent like she's doing.

00:36:31.980 But that's the point that she's making, okay?

00:36:33.380 And Don Lemon's there, and it's just like he was hit by a freight train.

00:36:37.140 He just had the narrative kind of chucking along,

00:36:44.460 and then that British journalist came because she had not only moral clarity

00:36:48.380 and not only the facts at her side, but the courage to go on CNN and say,

00:36:52.520 nah, all that politically correct mumbo-jumbo, it's all completely BS, Don Lemon.

00:36:56.640 And if anything, the Africans owe the British an apology for slavery. 0.98

00:36:59.740 It just completely destroys the narrative.

00:37:03.720 You know, housing prices are falling.

00:37:08.060 Inflation is raging harder than a Finnish prime minister on a Saturday night.

00:37:12.700 But the news is not all bleak.

00:37:14.940 In just a few short months, Jeremy's Razors kneecapped Harry's Razors.

00:37:19.160 Tens of thousands of people like you have stood up to woke razor companies and said enough is enough.

00:37:24.200 And for that, we want to thank you with the new Jeremy's Razors contest for the car.

00:37:29.280 Here's how it works.

00:37:30.380 For every person you refer, whether they buy a Jeremy's Razor kit or a Daily Wire annual membership,

00:37:36.360 you both get points in the race to win the God King's McLaren.

00:37:39.080 This is not just a masculine car.

00:37:42.680 This car actually spells out the word masculine in exhaust fumes.

00:37:46.640 Refer enough of your friends to Jeremy's, and you just might win it.

00:37:49.540 I am not joking.

00:37:50.520 This is totally real.

00:37:51.400 So if someone in our audience wins this car, I would be very, very proud.

00:37:57.740 And then probably ask for a ride somewhere.

00:37:59.800 The race for the car ends on November 1st, so get in the competition today.

00:38:03.960 Go to jeremysrazors.com slash play.

00:38:06.080 See terms and conditions for complete details at jeremysrazors.com slash referral terms.

00:38:10.740 The program is open only to legal U.S. residents residing in the U.S., D.C.,

00:38:14.820 excluding residents of Colorado, Connecticut, Maryland, Puerto Rico, and U.S. territories and possessions.

00:38:18.600 18 and older, remember, friends don't let friends shave with woke razors. 0.98

00:38:27.320 Don Lemon totally destroyed with facts and logic.

00:38:32.220 I hope, I would, if we had more time, I would play that clip again, just so that conservatives can take notes on how that woman did it. 0.96

00:38:41.440 Because I bet you, when confronted with the same BS narrative from Don Lemon,

00:38:46.160 I bet you 99.7% of American conservatives would not give anywhere nearly as bold an answer as that woman did. 0.71

00:38:54.180 Don Lemon is pitching this lib line that we've heard about.

00:38:57.100 Well, the queen, she's actually a sort of complicated figure because of colonialism and the legacy of slavery and all this just complete nonsense.

00:39:04.560 Queen Elizabeth is not only not a complicated figure, she's probably the least complicated figure in modern history.

00:39:12.540 She's just a woman who did her duty faithfully.

00:39:15.480 Name me a queen scandal. 0.89

00:39:19.560 There were scandals with her kids.

00:39:20.840 There were scandals with some members of her family.

00:39:22.640 Name me a scandal from the queen.

00:39:25.700 Name me a policy of the queen or some initiative from the queen that's really controversial.

00:39:30.780 And I can't, you can't name one.

00:39:33.320 They got nothing.

00:39:35.280 The only, the only attacks I've heard on the queen that,

00:39:38.300 that the libs have been repeating with any success whatsoever is,

00:39:41.780 you know, she knighted a guy maybe who turned out to be a jerk.

00:39:45.460 Or she, but they've got nothing. 0.62

00:39:46.680 Or her kids were jerks.

00:39:47.860 Sure.

00:39:48.360 But they got nothing.

00:39:49.260 She's not complicated at all.

00:39:51.280 And then even the historical narrative that Don Lemon is trying to push is just BS.

00:39:54.880 This is how conservatives should talk about it.

00:39:56.200 Not only should we not say, well, we've got to apologize for the original sin of slavery.

00:40:00.800 Forget it in Great Britain.

00:40:01.980 In America, you know, it's the original sin of this country.

00:40:04.660 And we will, we will never get that stain off of our country.

00:40:07.660 What are you talking about?

00:40:09.180 America is not only not the most responsible for slavery in the world.

00:40:13.040 America is one of the least responsible countries for slavery in the entire world.

00:40:18.720 Okay.

00:40:19.120 We, we had slavery in America for a very, very short period of time compared with

00:40:23.760 the rest of the world.

00:40:24.800 We had slavery in the modern sense of the term in the West for a very, very short period of time

00:40:30.580 compared to the rest of the world.

00:40:32.480 Where did we get the slaves from?

00:40:33.820 Because Africans were enslaving their own people and still are today, by the way. 1.00

00:40:37.920 Not nearly as much as they were at the time of the transatlantic slave trade, but to some

00:40:41.220 degree, they still are.

00:40:43.020 Where did we get slavery from? 0.74

00:40:44.320 Because North Africa, not just sub-Saharan Africans, but North Africans were and continue

00:40:48.760 to be enslaving people for a long time.

00:40:53.000 The Muslims in North Africa controlled a major, major slave trade for a very, very long time.

00:40:57.840 You still see slavery in East Asia.

00:41:00.020 You still see slavery everywhere in the world other than in the United States and in America.

00:41:03.400 And we fought a bloody civil war over the issue of slavery.

00:41:07.420 If anyone should be apologizing for slavery, it is everybody else on Earth except for us.

00:41:12.320 Okay?

00:41:12.860 That's the real answer.

00:41:13.820 And I think it's silly to apologize for slavery generally because it's just an expression of

00:41:19.380 the fallenness of the human heart, right?

00:41:21.520 Not a pathology unique to the West.

00:41:24.880 The only thing that's unique to the West here is that we got rid of it quickly and realized 0.96

00:41:27.980 how bad it was.

00:41:29.480 But it's a problem that afflicts the entire world because man is a fallen creature.

00:41:33.840 So I don't think that we all need to go around flogging ourselves and apologizing for slavery.

00:41:38.700 But if anyone is going to do that, it should be the Africans and the Arabs and the North 1.00

00:41:42.980 Africans and the Asians and basically everybody other than the West.

00:41:48.000 Once all those other people apologize, then maybe the West can start apologizing for slavery.

00:41:53.040 But until then, it's obviously, that's never going to happen.

00:41:56.260 So just get rid of it.

00:41:58.320 It's a bunk narrative.

00:41:59.820 You really don't have to hand it to the libs.

00:42:02.980 You really don't need to give it to them or meet in the middle or reconcile.

00:42:06.240 It's BS.

00:42:06.840 Just totally ignore it.

00:42:08.340 Speaking of slavery, false imprisonment, Governor Gavin Newsom, who really, really,

00:42:15.740 really wants to run for president.

00:42:16.860 He is clearly the most ambitious of the Democrats who could be the nominee in 2024.

00:42:20.800 He is accusing Florida Governor Ron DeSantis of kidnapping the illegal aliens that he had

00:42:28.440 given a nice vacation in Martha's Vineyard to.

00:42:31.940 Kidnapping.

00:42:33.640 And why was he kidnapping?

00:42:35.140 Because he had these migrants sign forms to say, yes, I want to get on this plane. 1.00

00:42:39.540 I want to go to this place.

00:42:40.720 You can see it.

00:42:41.360 They all signed their names.

00:42:42.620 But, you know, they didn't really know what they were signing.

00:42:44.920 And so it's been pretty much kidnapping to force them all to go up and have lobster rolls by the cape.

00:42:49.960 Kidnapping.

00:42:50.320 Putting migrants on buses or planes is kidnapping, illegal aliens, by the way, is kidnapping, according to Governor Gavin Newsom.

00:42:58.940 If these people don't really know what they're doing, it's just wrong to ship them out of your jurisdiction.

00:43:03.600 Except that Gavin Newsom did exactly the same thing.

00:43:09.480 Gavin Newsom.

00:43:10.600 Where is?

00:43:11.160 I've got a whole article about this.

00:43:13.780 Oh, yeah.

00:43:14.380 Gavin Newsom.

00:43:15.740 This is from 2006.

00:43:17.140 Back when Newsom was running San Francisco.

00:43:19.380 San Francisco put the homeless on buses and shipped them out of the city because Newsom realized that nobody wants the homeless people all just lazing about, shooting up drugs, threatening people, you know, defecating on the streets. 0.83

00:43:35.220 That was back before San Francisco totally lost its mind.

00:43:38.280 And he realized the homeless people don't have a right to do this.

00:43:41.840 This is totally disordered.

00:43:43.120 So we're just going to get them out of here.

00:43:44.200 And he put them on buses and he sent them home.

00:43:45.620 He did exactly what Ron DeSantis did, except that Gavin Newsom put them on crappy buses and sent them to sort of crappy places.

00:43:54.620 And Ron DeSantis chartered a jet and sent the migrants to Martha's Vineyard.

00:43:59.400 So Gavin Newsom just did a much less pleasant version of what Ron DeSantis did.

00:44:04.960 But when DeSantis does it, it's evil.

00:44:09.420 I'm sorry.

00:44:09.800 It's evil.

00:44:10.280 It's terrible.

00:44:11.120 It's kidnapping.

00:44:11.940 It's slavery. 0.97

00:44:12.380 When Newsom does the very same thing in a worse way, it's wonderful.

00:44:17.220 It's compassionate.

00:44:17.900 It's fine.

00:44:18.260 Move along.

00:44:18.660 Move along.

00:44:19.460 No principle here, folks.

00:44:21.180 No principle.

00:44:21.720 And I'm just putting my warning out here now as we head into the midterms and into 2024.

00:44:28.660 I will have no quarter for the squishes. 1.00

00:44:31.680 I've never really had much quarter for the squishes, but certainly none now. 0.95

00:44:35.140 As things have accelerated, as the libs have seized more and more power, as they've spent eight months bringing the country down, as they are regularly not just threatening the livelihoods and lives of conservatives, but actually attacking them, trying to assassinate Brett Kavanaugh, killing 18-year-old Republican kids just for being Republicans.

00:44:50.760 Calling out, these are elected officials, saying, we encourage you to go to the Republicans' homes to attack their families, to go confront them in the streets.

00:44:59.780 And then the elected officials bailing out the violent marauders after they commit these acts because these street people are the military wing of the Democrat Party.

00:45:08.860 I just have no quarter for the squishes. 1.00

00:45:10.880 I just, I don't want to hear about, well, DeSantis shouldn't have done it in that way.

00:45:13.880 Well, Trump actually shouldn't have tweeted that way.

00:45:15.680 Well, actually, you know, you've got to hand it to them.

00:45:17.040 You don't.

00:45:17.280 You don't have to hand them anything.

00:45:18.500 Pick a side, man.

00:45:19.200 You know, do I have disagreements with the Republican Party?

00:45:22.100 Lots of them.

00:45:22.860 Do I think that every Republican running for office is a great guy who will even do a semi-good job?

00:45:27.960 No, I don't.

00:45:29.180 But come on, man.

00:45:29.980 The stakes couldn't be clearer, okay?

00:45:31.880 The libs are intentionally opening up all of our borders, flooding our country with millions of foreign nationals, letting the prisoners out of jail, encouraging violence against us, destroying the economy. 0.99

00:45:44.040 Come on.

00:45:44.560 Give me a break.

00:45:45.580 It's not that complicated.

00:45:47.460 You don't need that much nuance.

00:45:49.060 You don't need to hand it to them.

00:45:50.340 Speaking of Dems, speaking of Dems letting the criminals out, John Fetterman running for Senate in Pennsylvania, even though he can't really be on the campaign trail because he can't actually really speak.

00:46:04.780 And even when his health was better, he was still a radical candidate who was not particularly coherent.

00:46:10.200 John Fetterman, it has come out, really wants to free murderers.

00:46:15.940 Okay, he said if he had a magic wand, what he would do is the first thing he would do, it wouldn't cure cancer.

00:46:21.120 He wouldn't, you know, end world hunger.

00:46:22.880 What he would do is let murderers out of prison.

00:46:26.160 And he did vote to let murderers out of prison, including one man who, this is just a delightful report from the Washington Free Beacon.

00:46:33.920 So, Fetterman voted to free a murderer who hacked an innocent man to death with garden shears.

00:46:41.520 So, this murderer, Charles Zeke Goldblum, was sentenced to life in prison for killing a man with garden shears.

00:46:50.540 And then, then when the guy got out, he hired a hitman to murder his accomplice in the murder.

00:47:00.220 And John Fetterman voted to let that guy go free.

00:47:04.580 Why?

00:47:05.880 Probably, if I want to be as charitable as I can possibly be, it's because the libs just have a completely perverted understanding of justice. 0.84

00:47:15.340 And the libs believe that the perpetrators are the victims and the victims deserve no justice.

00:47:20.660 Right?

00:47:20.820 That's what the libs think about it.

00:47:22.040 The only reason that this poor man hacked his neighbor to death with garden shears and then murdered his accomplice, tried to murder his accomplice, is because society failed him.

00:47:32.920 It's your fault.

00:47:34.060 It's the fault of the bourgeois culture and society.

00:47:37.520 If only society had been different, then the man wouldn't have hacked his neighbor to death with garden shears.

00:47:42.140 And that's why it's really, he's really the victim here.

00:47:44.520 And we need to let him out.

00:47:46.260 He's paid his debt to society because he stayed in prison for five seconds.

00:47:48.980 This awful Democrat who murdered an 18-year-old Republican simply for being a Republican, he had to sit in prison.

00:47:56.380 He had to sit in jail for a few hours.

00:47:58.320 He's paid his debt to society.

00:47:59.420 It was society that failed him.

00:48:00.440 Really, it was the Republicans egging him on.

00:48:02.180 Those violent extremists, they made him do it.

00:48:04.560 What's a man to do?

00:48:05.360 Those Republicans are such violent extremists.

00:48:07.360 Sometimes they wear horn hats into the Capitol Rotunda and take selfies.

00:48:10.160 You know, those awful Republican extremists who sometimes, when they get a little bit of political power, want to enforce any of the laws.

00:48:16.860 They're just really semi-fascist extremists.

00:48:19.700 Awful.

00:48:20.620 So that's the charitable view of John Fetterman.

00:48:22.500 But the more cynical and, I think, realistic view of why the Dems want to let all the criminals out is because it creates chaos and it allows them to take more power.

00:48:30.460 And because the people that they're letting out attack Republicans, I think they choose to permit and even encourage the BLM riots because it helps them and it intimidates their political opponents. 0.73

00:48:42.800 Meanwhile, as I mentioned earlier, I alluded to the horn hat guy, you know, some Midwestern grandmas show up to the Capitol one day and don't kill anybody and don't really do anything other than make a mess of the Rotunda.

00:48:53.160 That's considered the worst terrorist attack.

00:48:54.800 We've got to shut that down.

00:48:55.480 We've got to throw them in solitary confinement because that's not helpful to the Democrats' political agenda. 0.99

00:49:01.400 That's what this is really about, a raw exercise of power.

00:49:04.140 You don't need to hand it to Democrats.

00:49:06.720 You don't need to give them anything.

00:49:08.380 Okay.

00:49:08.620 The rest of this show is continuing now.

00:49:10.440 By the way, then I'm after this show.

00:49:11.740 I'm flying out to Milwaukee because I'm going to be appearing tonight at Wisconsin Lutheran College.

00:49:17.180 It's going to be a ton of fun.

00:49:18.400 The Catholic University, University of St. Thomas, won't have me.

00:49:21.340 They disinvite me for saying Christian things.

00:49:23.520 But the Lutheran College will have me. 0.93

00:49:25.620 How about that?

00:49:26.120 That's pretty ecumenical.

00:49:27.360 So head on there.

00:49:28.200 It's free and open to the public if you can make it in Milwaukee.

00:49:30.860 It's going to be a ton of fun.
