Summary

Minnesota has a new state flag, and the new flag of the erstwhile, lily-whitest state in America looks suspiciously like the flags of Somalia. Is it just coincidence, or is it something more sinister?


Transcript

00:00:00.000 Minnesota has a new state flag, and the new flag of the erstwhile lily-whitest state in America
00:00:05.900 looks suspiciously like the flags of Somalia.
00:00:10.200 Here is Democrat Governor Tim Walz announcing the change.
00:00:16.760 Okay, Governor sits down, not wearing a tie, very sloppy looking.
00:00:21.180 He goes, he moves the state flag out of frame, leaves the American flag for now,
00:00:26.980 and then he puts this new state flag in.
00:00:30.000 It's a star.
00:00:35.060 There, that's better.
00:00:36.880 It's a star on a kind of a blue standard with a, comes to an angle there,
00:00:41.700 and then another lighter blue color on the right side of the flag.
00:00:47.020 I've got here in my hand some flags of Somalia, of the nation of Somalia,
00:00:53.860 and then also of individual states.
00:00:55.260 So we've got the flag of Gal Madug looks suspiciously, it's not a perfect, it's not a one-to-one, but it's pretty close.
00:01:06.340 We've got the regular flag of Somalia.
00:01:08.240 It doesn't have the triangle, but it's, we've got the same kind of blue and then the star.
00:01:13.380 Then we've got this one, the flag of Hirshabelle, which is a federal member state in south-central Somalia.
00:01:19.980 That also, it's kind of reversed, so the triangle's on the left side, but very, very similar looking.
00:01:25.760 Then we've got the flag of Ras Kayser State in Somalia.
00:01:31.500 Yeah, that one, I think some earlier designs of the Minnesota state flag looked a little more like these,
00:01:36.160 and then they rejected some, but the final product, you know, it's just weird.
00:01:41.840 It's just weird how similar the new Minnesota state flag looks to flags of Somalia.
00:01:46.980 Now, assuming this was not all just an improbable stroke of luck that the new Minnesota flag looks more than a touch Somalian,
00:01:56.520 the change stands to reason.
00:01:59.100 There are officially upwards of 87,000 Somalis living in Minnesota, virtually all of them in Minneapolis.
00:02:06.680 The real number is actually higher, as some 94,000 Minnesota residents are reported to speak Somali as their primary language at home.
00:02:15.560 Presumably, that number does not reflect 7,000 culturally inquisitive Scandinavians
00:02:20.520 who just decided to pick up an East African tongue for fun one day.
00:02:24.080 So, we're talking about upwards of 100,000 people, who knows, maybe more.
00:02:29.120 Now, the entire population of Minneapolis-St. Paul is only 425,000 people.
00:02:34.240 Almost one in four Minneapolis residents are Somali, and one in three American Somalis live in Minnesota.
00:02:42.840 That is the political reality.
00:02:45.140 And since flags are symbols of polities, the new flag reflects that changed reality.
00:02:52.320 Many white liberals encouraged the change, in part because the old Minnesota flag was deemed politically incorrect.
00:03:00.220 I have it right here.
00:03:01.100 The old flag, you see, it depicted both Native American Indians and the white settlers who displaced them.
00:03:09.500 The new flag erases both the Indians and the whites in favor of an abstract symbol representing the new settlers
00:03:16.980 who are now displacing the old new stock of Minnesota.
00:03:20.500 The symbol is once again reflecting the new reality.
00:03:24.720 But while the old flag at least paid some honor to the heritage of the land as it changed,
00:03:30.880 the new flag does no such courtesy.
00:03:33.600 When the liberals call to abolish whiteness, they mean it.
00:03:38.160 If you thought the old form of settler colonialism was harsh,
00:03:41.640 just wait until you see the full scope of the new one.
00:03:45.320 I'm Michael Knowles.
00:03:45.980 This is the Michael Knowles Show.
00:03:46.800 Welcome back to the show.
00:04:08.980 The walls are closing in.
00:04:10.640 They've got him now.
00:04:11.760 Breaking, breaking.
00:04:12.840 Bombshell.
00:04:13.420 Trump is done.
00:04:14.160 I'm sure there are many other sayings that we're all supposed to say every single day
00:04:21.000 when the liberals pretend like now Trump is totally over.
00:04:24.200 So today's version of the walls are closing in.
00:04:26.360 They've got him now.
00:04:27.000 Bombshell, bombshell.
00:04:27.880 Is that Trump's former lawyer and fixer, Michael Cohen, testified at the New York trial
00:04:34.080 and he brought an audio tape, a secret recording of Donald Trump.
00:04:40.660 There's so much more to say.

00:05:47.260 Speaking of the old colonialism and modern bigotries, we go just a little bit south,
00:05:54.220 or rather just a little bit north of Minnesota to America's evil top hat.
00:06:00.120 We turn up to Canada, which has now concluded a lot of its investigation into a story that popped up in 2021.
00:06:09.320 And the story was that Catholics in Canada had been butchering native Canadian children, indigenous First Nation children.
00:06:19.280 These Catholics brought these Indians to the residential schools in Canada and slaughtered them.
00:06:25.520 And there were mass graves.
00:06:27.820 This was the story that was reported three years ago.
00:06:31.320 215 children's graves at the Kamloops Residential School.
00:06:38.320 First Nations up in arms.
00:06:41.460 And what happened as a result of that allegation?
00:06:45.060 Between June and July of that year, 68 Canadian churches were desecrated, vandalized, or destroyed.
00:06:51.940 25 churches were burned down.
00:06:54.320 Many more have been destroyed since then.
00:06:55.960 That was just in a two-month period.
00:06:57.120 Many more have been destroyed since then.
00:07:00.200 In order to get to the truth, Canada has spent almost $8 million, $7.9 million,
00:07:06.020 to investigate the mass graves of these little poor Indian children at the residential schools.
00:07:11.700 And they haven't found a single body.
00:07:16.040 Not one body has turned up.
00:07:18.060 No remains have been found.
00:07:19.560 The whole story was totally fake news.
00:07:22.720 As many of us knew at the time.
00:07:24.200 When I first heard this story, that the Catholic Church had been secretly slaughtering Indian children in Canada at their schools,
00:07:32.080 I thought, nah, nah, I don't think that happened.
00:07:37.820 There will be an investigation.
00:07:39.580 Any investigation will take three years.
00:07:41.220 And then it'll turn up that that didn't really happen.
00:07:43.320 But in the meantime, the libs will have gotten what they wanted.
00:07:45.600 Which is that they burned down a lot of churches.
00:07:48.760 They vandalized more churches, including in America, too.
00:07:51.280 There were American churches that were vandalized and attacked because of this story out of Canada.
00:07:56.600 It's a reminder that a lie gets halfway around the world before the truth has time to put its pants on.
00:08:02.180 So how did this happen?
00:08:03.500 The way that this happened is that the liberals in Canada and in America started with the conclusion.
00:08:13.480 This is not a case of you start with a bad hypothesis, with bad information, and then you do a lot of bad stuff based on the bad information.
00:08:22.760 And then whoopsie-daisy, you realize you were wrong and you have regret.
00:08:26.420 That's not what happened here.
00:08:27.680 That's not how the liberals operate.
00:08:29.440 They started with the conclusion.
00:08:31.020 The conclusion was the churches have to be burned down.
00:08:34.660 That was the starting point.
00:08:36.280 Churches are bad.
00:08:38.700 They're patriarchal.
00:08:40.420 They're oppressive.
00:08:42.080 They're a symbol of the white man.
00:08:44.100 They're a symbol of Western civilization.
00:08:46.280 The church has got to go.
00:08:47.700 They restrict our freedom, man, to do all sorts of weird stuff that's detrimental to our lives.
00:08:53.940 Well, the church has got to go.
00:08:55.360 How are the churches going to go?
00:08:56.760 Well, we're going to concoct a bunch of evidence.
00:09:00.440 We're going to try to find any even slight sliver of a possibility that the church really is oppressive and terrible and violent and patriarchal and blah, blah, blah.
00:09:11.120 And then we're going to form the thesis that the churches killed all these Indian kids.
00:09:22.280 But they're only doing that because they already started with the first part, which is we're going to burn down the churches.
00:09:26.620 The libs have been doing this in the West for a very long time, at least since the French Revolution, probably long before that.
00:09:33.160 That's how it works.
00:09:33.900 So is there going to be any hand-wringing over this?
00:09:37.440 Is there going to be any regretful apology from Justin Trudeau or any of the other libs in Canada who stoked the flames of this dishonest fire?
00:09:48.880 No.
00:09:50.020 They'll just move on.
00:09:50.860 They got what they want.
00:09:51.920 Yeah, okay, whatever.
00:09:53.240 Well, yeah, we haven't found a body.
00:09:54.420 Maybe one will turn up later.
00:09:56.020 Anyway, on to the next destructive op.
00:10:00.200 Speaking of death, I've got the dumbest headline of the day.
00:10:03.300 I adore this headline.
00:10:06.280 This is from, I don't even know the news source because Professor Jacob gave me a beautifully properly printed version.
00:10:13.880 So I don't see the URL.
00:10:15.340 No, here it is.
00:10:15.860 It's from The Independent.
00:10:17.260 Headline.
00:10:19.540 Conservative plan calls for Trump to kill everyone on federal death row in second term.
00:10:28.180 Conservative plan.
00:10:32.140 Donald Trump, if he gets elected, he's going to kill everyone.
00:10:35.580 Well, hold on.
00:10:37.460 Conservative plan calls for Trump to kill everyone on federal death row.
00:10:41.440 So another way of saying that is conservatives want to follow the law in Trump's second term.
00:10:49.760 Conservative, shadowy conservative groups want the president to do his job and follow the laws that have been enacted by the representatives of the American people in accord with the U.S. Constitution.
00:11:03.300 What's the alternative to that?
00:11:07.320 I guess the other way you write this headline is Democrats want Biden to break the law and Trump to break the law and everyone to break the law.
00:11:15.520 They're on death row.
00:11:18.480 These guys have been convicted of capital offenses.
00:11:22.900 I didn't make those laws.
00:11:25.380 I didn't make the laws.
00:11:27.020 I didn't commit the crimes.
00:11:28.480 I didn't try the criminals.
00:11:30.820 I didn't.
00:11:31.380 But I'm a citizen of the United States, and I have this crazy idea that we ought to enforce the laws because we're supposed to be a nation of laws, not a nation of men.
00:11:42.300 Isn't that what the liberals always talk about?
00:11:43.980 We are a sacred democracy.
00:11:45.460 We're a nation of laws, not the passions and the interests of a single demagogue.
00:11:51.480 Well, okay.
00:11:53.080 Trump wants to follow the law.
00:11:54.280 Well, not those laws.
00:11:55.020 We don't like those laws.
00:11:55.900 This is really what the election's about.
00:12:01.360 This is a perfect encapsulation of the election.
00:12:04.780 You got one guy, Donald Trump, who wants to return to the way that we used to do things, which is we would follow the law and just behave normally.
00:12:16.000 That is to say, in accordance with norms and standards and customs, the old American way of life.
00:12:20.500 And then you got the real demagogue.
00:12:22.700 And the real demagogue, oddly enough, is Joe Biden.
00:12:24.680 I know the guy seems like he's half dead, and he doesn't know his own name most of the time, and you can barely understand him when he speaks.
00:12:29.640 But he is acting like a demagogue in the sense that he disregards the laws.
00:12:34.660 He disregards our laws with regard to immigration.
00:12:38.220 He disregards our laws and our customs with regard to certainly the sexual laws, right?
00:12:49.760 Can men go into women's bathrooms?
00:12:51.820 Should we be able to castrate children?
00:12:53.600 He's imposing new federal mandates arbitrarily with the stroke of his pen using executive orders on that front.
00:13:02.160 He is behaving in the way that they accused Trump of behaving.
00:13:07.320 As is often the case, the Democrat accusations are confessions.
00:13:11.660 There's so much more to say.
00:13:13.360 First, though, go to jpcatholic.edu slash Knowles.
00:13:18.220 Lib-controlled universities and entertainment establishments are two of the biggest battlegrounds for the health and sanity of our culture.

00:14:06.480 J.P. Catholic dot edu slash Knowles, K-N-O-W-L-E-S.
00:14:17.200 Speaking of the law, you remember when RFK Jr. just a couple of days ago came out and he said that he supports abortion all the way up until the moment of birth even of an otherwise healthy full-term baby.
00:14:34.680 So, in other words, keeping it as is with Roe v. Wade having been overturned and leaving it up to the states to determine if and when a woman can have an abortion?
00:14:44.400 No, I wouldn't leave it to the states.
00:14:46.440 Right.
00:14:47.000 No, I would.
00:14:48.160 You would say completely, it's up to the woman.
00:14:50.760 My belief is we should leave it to the woman.
00:14:53.040 We shouldn't have government involved.
00:14:55.140 Even if it's full term?
00:14:57.640 Even if it's full term.
00:14:59.840 Okay.
00:15:01.480 Okay, full term.
00:15:02.660 Great interview there.
00:15:03.520 Okay, now he's walking that back.
00:15:06.080 This did not go very well for him.
00:15:08.600 So, Kennedy, I'm not going to read the whole thing because look at this.
00:15:11.480 He writes like, you know, an epic poem about his stupid view on abortion.
00:15:16.700 It says,
00:15:17.500 Abortion has been a notoriously divisive issue in America, but actually has seen emerging consensus.
00:15:21.500 Abortion should be legal up to a certain number of weeks and restricted thereafter.
00:15:24.860 Even in the reddest of states, voters reject total abortion bans.
00:15:28.060 And on the other end, almost no one supports gruesome third trimester abortions except to save the life of the mother.
00:15:32.920 Well, hold on, you did.
00:15:34.060 Hold on, wait.
00:15:35.160 That thing that you're just calling gruesome, you just said you support it up until the moment of birth.
00:15:44.100 So, he says, I'm a medical freedom advocate, bodily autonomy, women's maternal instincts.
00:15:50.400 Women should make their own decisions.
00:15:52.760 I had been assuming that virtually all late-term abortions were such cases of a threat to the life of the mother.
00:16:00.560 But I've learned that my assumption was wrong.
00:16:02.620 Well, hold on.
00:16:04.160 He could have said that.
00:16:05.560 He could have said, well, in the case where the baby poses a threat to the life of the mother, which is, it's already legal to have abortions in those cases.
00:16:12.200 Then I would support it.
00:16:14.800 But otherwise, no, I don't support it.
00:16:15.920 That's not what he said.
00:16:16.740 He said, no, I support abortion, period, full stop.
00:16:21.860 In the cases of purely elective late-term abortion, they're very upsetting.
00:16:26.060 Once the baby is viable outside the womb, it should have rights and it deserves society's protection.
00:16:29.780 I want to put a pause here.
00:16:31.640 Why is viability the standard?
00:16:33.600 Once the baby is viable outside the womb,
00:16:35.440 why is that moment the moment when the baby has a right not to be murdered?
00:16:44.400 Why not just pick the second trimester or the third trimester?
00:16:49.860 Why not just pick quickening, the moment when a baby's movement can be detected in the womb?
00:16:55.020 Why not pick a heartbeat?
00:16:57.480 They're all arbitrary.
00:16:58.580 If you pick any moment other than when the baby first comes into existence, that is, the moment of conception,
00:17:06.080 then it's all just arbitrary.
00:17:09.140 We can see when a life begins.
00:17:13.420 That is not an arbitrary moment.
00:17:16.300 When you go from a thing not existing to a thing existing, that's not arbitrary.
00:17:21.120 But when you go from, you know, a thing existing, but he's only got four fingers instead of five,
00:17:25.860 or a thing existing, but you can't quite detect his heartbeat,
00:17:28.680 or a thing existing, but now he starts to move around a little bit.
00:17:31.680 Now we're talking about pretty arbitrary points in the timeline.
00:17:39.340 If the question is, when does a human being get rights?
00:17:43.040 And it's not just me saying this.
00:17:46.220 It's not just the conservatives saying this.
00:17:47.540 Justice Blackmun, who is a super lib Supreme Court justice who wrote the decision in Roe v. Wade,
00:17:51.460 he admitted this in writing to other judges on the court when they were deciding Roe v. Wade,
00:17:56.880 because some judges wanted to institute the trimester system, which prevailed in Roe v. Wade,
00:18:02.640 to say, okay, during this trimester, abortion is okay.
00:18:05.640 During that trimester, maybe abortion is not okay.
00:18:07.600 And then later on, they threw out the trimester system in Planned Parenthood v. Casey,
00:18:12.520 even though they upheld the upshot of Roe v. Wade, which is that moms can kill their kids.
00:18:18.720 They changed the reasoning for it, and they implemented this viability standard.
00:18:23.720 But Blackmun said, even at the time, he said, yeah, viability, trimester, whatever.
00:18:28.120 It's all just arbitrary.
00:18:29.600 We're just trying to come up with an incoherent consensus.
00:18:35.060 Kennedy goes on.
00:18:35.900 I learned this because I was willing to listen.
00:18:38.800 I support the emerging consensus that abortion should be restricted up until a certain point.
00:18:43.460 I believe the point is when the baby, or it should be unrestricted up until a certain point.
00:18:47.200 And that point should be when the baby is viable outside the womb.
00:18:50.320 Therefore, I would allow appropriate restrictions on abortion in the final months of pregnancy,
00:18:53.400 just as Roe v. Wade did.
00:18:54.260 Okay, blah, blah, blah.
00:18:55.140 He goes on and on and on.
00:18:56.460 So there it is.
00:18:58.080 Kennedy could explain his view on abortion in just a handful of words.
00:19:03.720 I support Roe v. Wade.
00:19:07.320 There you go.
00:19:07.660 Five words.
00:19:08.960 I support Roe v. Wade.
00:19:10.260 He supports Roe v. Wade, which is exhibit 752 that no serious conservative can vote for this man.
00:19:21.700 Democrats can vote for him.
00:19:23.560 Frankly, I'm not even all that upset that this is Kennedy's view.
00:19:28.280 Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is not going to be the president of the United States.
00:19:31.740 Robert F. Kennedy Jr. in this race stands to do one thing, and that is to take away votes from Joe Biden.
00:19:37.780 Could he pry a few votes from Trump?
00:19:39.420 Maybe he could, but he will.
00:19:40.700 I've said this from the beginning.
00:19:41.980 He will take more votes from Biden than from Trump.
00:19:44.020 And this makes that even clearer.
00:19:46.120 However, Robert F. Kennedy supports Roe v. Wade at the federal level.
00:19:52.580 This is the most leftist mainstream view on abortion.
00:19:58.240 I get that Kennedy was right about COVID because he hates vaccines, and he's been talking about how terrible vaccines are for many decades.
00:20:05.160 He was right about COVID.
00:20:06.540 He's wrong about pretty much everything else.
00:20:08.760 And he continues to articulate that even as he walks back his extreme abortion position of, you know, kill the baby up until two seconds before he's born.
00:20:17.100 What's his what's his moderate position?
00:20:18.940 His moderate position is I support Roe v. Wade.
00:20:21.880 Actually, I want to go further.
00:20:22.860 I want to make Roe v. Wade into a law.
00:20:25.420 Give me a break.
00:20:26.980 This is it.
00:20:27.920 Any conservative who suggests that it is in any way acceptable to vote for this man is reminding us why conservatives always lose.
00:20:38.760 Because the radical far left position of 10, 20, 30 years ago becomes the the mainstream center right reasonable conservative position today.
00:20:49.000 Pathetic.
00:20:49.660 No, thanks.
00:20:50.280 Not going to work.
00:20:51.800 I'm very glad that Kennedy was right about COVID.
00:20:54.840 He's wrong about everything else.
00:20:55.840 Now, being right about COVID might matter because new headline out.
00:21:02.660 The libs might be prepared to do COVID again.
00:21:05.840 Man, there is a new highly transmissible variant.
00:21:08.920 What does it mean?
00:21:10.480 We'll get to it in a second.
00:21:11.400 First, though, speaking of medical doctors, I sat down with Dr. Robert Epstein, the former editor-in-chief of Psychology Today,
00:21:19.860 to discuss how big tech companies can control the outcomes of elections and even the beliefs of people all over the world.
00:21:26.220 If you were not notified that we released the episode this past weekend, I'm not surprised because certain big tech platforms are censoring the episode.
00:21:33.880 Perhaps you can guess which ones.
00:21:35.480 After watching the episode, I think you'll probably get it.
00:21:38.780 Check out the teaser.
00:21:40.060 We published a landmark study in which we show bias in Google search results can change people's views about anything at all.
00:21:50.420 How bad is it?
00:21:51.220 I gave a briefing, a private briefing.
00:21:54.660 A few minutes later, one of them walked out.
00:21:56.100 I know exactly who it was.
00:21:57.220 And he walked up to me and said, Dr. Epstein, based on what you just told us, I predict you're going to be killed in some sort of accident in the next few months.
00:22:05.380 But a few months later, my beautiful, amazing wife was killed in a horrendous car accident.
00:22:13.600 Are you deterred at all?
00:22:18.660 Yes.
00:22:19.580 Then there's another part of me, which is the science guy.
00:22:22.120 Every single thing we do is relevant to everything that's happening right now.
00:22:26.580 Right.
00:22:26.980 With the algorithms shifting the views of people who are undecided on some issue or other around the world by the billions.
00:22:37.400 Now what?
00:22:38.540 We are fucked, okay?
00:22:39.940 We are fucked.
00:23:09.920 COVID, new, highly transmissible COVID-19 variant.
00:23:14.720 It's called Flirt.
00:23:17.280 That's right.
00:23:18.720 The new, subtler, suaver, sexier version of COVID, Flirt.
00:23:24.360 Could this lead to a summer uptick?
00:23:27.860 Asks the Los Angeles Times.
00:23:30.860 Here we go again.
00:23:31.740 Seems to me I've heard that song before.
00:23:33.180 So the question on everybody's mind, are the libs going to shut the world down with COVID again?
00:23:39.840 Are the libs once again going to use COVID to shut down at least our country and then change all the election rules and rig the election for Joe Biden again?
00:23:48.240 Are they going to do that?
00:23:51.800 They're going to try.
00:23:52.900 I don't think that the libs are sitting in lib headquarters, you know, mwahaha, laughing, cackling about how this is what we're going to do.
00:24:04.340 And mwahaha, they'll have to stand six feet away and mail in all their votes and we can steal it again.
00:24:08.500 Mwahaha, that's not exactly what's going on.
00:24:11.760 But it's not totally far off.
00:24:13.980 The libs are doing everything they can to rig the election against Trump.
00:24:18.880 A better way to think about it than, you know, the libs releasing some pathogen is that the libs are throwing spaghetti at the wall.
00:24:26.380 We know because COVID exists, it's now a virus.
00:24:30.620 We know that there are going to be mutations and there are going to be upticks and it's going to be like the flu.
00:24:34.620 So the libs can, out of convenience, put a bigger focus on a virus surge than other virus surges.
00:24:46.500 They can exploit pre-existing phenomena.
00:24:50.160 They can even encourage phenomena.
00:24:52.100 But I don't think COVID is plan A for the libs.
00:24:56.560 I think the libs are going to try to jail.
00:24:58.360 I think first they're going to try to kick him off the ballot.
00:25:00.100 That failed.
00:25:00.780 Then they're going to try to jail Donald Trump.
00:25:02.580 That might work.
00:25:03.280 They're going to try to bankrupt Donald Trump.
00:25:04.840 That's what they're doing right now.
00:25:06.000 They're going to try to encourage more widespread mail-in votes.
00:25:10.260 They're going to try to get illegal aliens to vote.
00:25:12.380 They're going to try to do this, that, and the other thing.
00:25:16.400 And maybe the combination of all of those efforts, maybe one will take off more than another.
00:25:21.140 But at the very least, they hope the combination of all of those efforts will make it such that Joe Biden, even as a cadaver, is able to beat Donald Trump,
00:25:29.060 who is still pulling tens and tens of thousands of people when he speaks.
00:25:33.820 It could happen.
00:25:35.940 It could happen.
00:25:36.840 It's not that they're going to do the COVID card again.
00:25:40.120 It would be a little bit on the nose.
00:25:41.500 They just want the option.
00:25:43.180 And they want the option of mass violence in the streets.
00:25:45.620 They're not going to do BLM again.
00:25:46.740 They're going to do the Campus Intifada.
00:25:48.040 Now, the Campus Intifada is worse for them because the Israel-Gaza issue is a wedge.
00:25:53.320 So the libs, like the street violence, the street violence, the feeling of chaos, tends to occur in and around election years, how convenient for the libs.
00:26:03.520 And there's a little unrest, and they can use that chaos for political opportunity.
00:26:09.000 But in the case of BLM, which galvanized public opinion for typically leftist causes, the Campus Intifada is a little bit worse because the protesters largely blame Joe Biden for the war in Gaza.
00:26:24.120 Now, perhaps what the libs are hoping for is Trump is the pro-Israel candidate.
00:26:28.140 Biden is significantly less pro-Israel in his policies.
00:26:33.020 So maybe, as it all shakes out, ginning up this anti-Israel sentiment will help the Democrats.
00:26:40.080 At the very least, it'll create another feeling of chaos and uncertainty, which the libs usually use to their advantage.
00:26:48.260 Maybe, maybe.
00:26:49.240 But this one seems to be boomeranging back on the libs, so much so that they're actually fearing for their own convention, which we'll get to in just a moment.
00:26:58.100 So what is plan A?
00:27:00.820 Before we get ahead of ourselves, what is plan A for the election?
00:27:04.480 Plan A is still to jail Trump.
00:27:07.520 And the way they're trying to jail Trump is with these four cases.
00:27:10.260 Unfortunately, though, the New York one is really their main shot before the election.
00:27:13.500 The New York case where they're going to jail Trump for allegedly giving hush money to Stormy Daniels, which is really just an in-kind contribution to his own campaign, which is not illegal.
00:27:23.160 But he might have mishandled some paperwork about it, so that could be a crime.
00:27:28.400 I mean, even though it's not a New York crime, so we don't really know why New York is prosecuting this.
00:27:32.240 It's a federal crime.
00:27:33.400 And it is a crime, so maybe they could get him on it.
00:27:35.500 And how are they going to get him?
00:27:36.560 They're going to get his old lawyer and former fixer Michael Cohen to testify.
00:27:40.600 And that was the bombshell, walls closing in testimony yesterday.
00:27:45.920 So what was the surprise?
00:27:49.180 Michael Cohen secretly recorded Donald Trump talking about the hush money payments.
00:27:56.300 Boom, got him, right?
00:28:00.380 Not really, because even this, the key to the whole New York case against Trump is old news.
00:28:07.580 Because we already knew that this audio existed.
00:28:12.520 In fact, journalists have already heard the audio.
00:28:15.680 CNN obtained this audio six years ago.
00:28:18.900 2018, CNN got this audio.
00:28:21.740 This is old, old news.
00:28:23.760 So what is in it?
00:28:26.480 In it, according to transcripts of the recording, Cohen says to Trump,
00:28:32.280 I need to open up a company for the transfer of all that info regarding our friend David.
00:28:37.160 Now, presumably, David refers to David Pecker, who was the head of American Media, which publishes National Enquirer.
00:28:43.960 National Enquirer was going to be used to squash some of these stories.
00:28:47.800 Financing then comes up in the conversation.
00:28:50.020 Trump asks Cohen, what financing?
00:28:54.820 Cohen says to Trump, we'll have to pay.
00:28:57.740 Presumably, we're going to have to pay to squash these stories.
00:28:59.880 And Trump is heard saying, maybe, pay with cash.
00:29:07.340 But it's unclear.
00:29:08.640 Even the liberal journos are admitting the audio is a little bit muddled.
00:29:11.800 And it's unclear whether he suggests paying with cash or not paying.
00:29:18.380 So the few words you get there, pay with cash, it's totally unclear from the audio,
00:29:24.660 even in the understanding of the liberals, what those words mean.
00:29:27.400 Then Cohen says, no, no.
00:29:29.960 And no one even knows, even if he is talking about making a payment, is he talking about paying in cash like, you know, a briefcase full of greenbacks?
00:29:36.240 Or is he talking about paying in cash, meaning we're not going to finance this, we're not going to drag this out, we're just going to pay it up all at once.
00:29:42.880 And then the tape cuts out at the end.
00:29:44.740 So despite what the headlines say, what information is actually conveyed in the tape?
00:29:51.780 The information that's conveyed in the tape is that Trump and his lawyer talk about paying someone named David, let's even say it's David Pecker from the Inquirer, paying him some money.
00:30:02.100 Now, through a corporation, right?
00:30:05.880 The opening of it is, I need to open up a company.
00:30:08.580 So obviously, we're not talking about briefcases full of cash here.
00:30:13.200 And then what?
00:30:14.540 And then it all kind of cuts out.
00:30:17.140 That's it.
00:30:17.660 That's the upshot.
00:30:18.700 And it comes from a tape that we have known about that liberal journalists have had for six years.
00:30:26.080 Maybe I'm being too rosy here.
00:30:28.680 I don't feel the walls closing in.
00:30:31.100 Maybe I'm being a little too optimistic.
00:30:33.020 I don't think they've got him now.
00:30:35.560 Now, I think this is weak, weak stuff from a witness who has real credibility problems, in part because he's a rat.
00:30:48.960 You know, he says, I'll, years ago, he said, I'm so loyal.
00:30:51.920 I'll never, I'll go down with this ship.
00:30:53.380 I'll die before I turn on Donald Trump.
00:30:54.940 And then, you know, he's a rat.
00:30:55.780 They squeeze him and he's a total rat.
00:30:58.480 But even so, he's a rat, right?
00:31:01.220 So he does, he's, he has a credibility problem and that's why he, the people around him were all testifying that the guy's not, not credible and not trustworthy.
00:31:10.400 That's why he brought this audio, but the audio just doesn't do it.
00:31:13.820 They just didn't, they didn't really get him.
00:31:17.100 So then, Mr. Rat decides on the stand to invoke President Trump's wife.
00:31:24.000 And Trump probably wanted to stand up there, smack him in the face and say, you know, get my wife's name out your mouth.
00:31:28.660 But he didn't do that.
00:31:29.440 I will get to what Michael Cohen says about Melania in just a second.
00:31:32.340 First, though, when you want to testify to me on this show and when you want to ask me a question in the mailbag, here's what you got to do.
00:31:40.100 You got to go to Daily Wire.
00:31:42.940 You click on the watch page.
00:31:44.660 You click on my show page.
00:31:45.860 And then you click submit a mailbag question.
00:31:49.220 That's going to open up an email.
00:31:51.220 And then you just, all you have to do is record your mailbag question.
00:31:54.420 You do voice memos on your phone or however you want to record it.
00:31:56.960 You record it.
00:31:57.540 Keep it to a minute, please, so I can play it on the show.
00:32:00.480 Even under a minute is better.
00:32:01.800 And then you just attach that file to the email.
00:32:03.900 Boom, send it in.
00:32:04.680 And I get to hear your mellifluous, beautiful, dulcet tones on Friday and give you an answer to your question.
00:32:10.520 The other testimony from Cohen that's being reported is that Cohen says that after the Access Hollywood tape came out, remember Donald Trump, he's joking with Billy Bush and he says, you know, when you're famous, women, they throw themselves at you.
00:32:25.380 You can do whatever you want.
00:32:26.220 You can grab them by a certain part of their anatomy.
00:32:31.040 And this was the big October surprise.
00:32:33.560 This was how they were going to destroy the Trump campaign.
00:32:35.580 And it didn't really work because it was a little vulgar.
00:32:38.460 And obviously, you know, Trump is just caught there on a mic.
00:32:41.520 He thinks he's just, you know, joking around with Billy Bush.
00:32:43.900 And they said, this is Donald Trump promoting rape or something, which obviously he wasn't because the key words in even this very vulgar language is they let you do it.
00:32:55.300 When you're a celebrity, they let you do it.
00:32:57.020 In other words, he's saying women throw themselves at wealthy, famous celebrities, which is just true.
00:33:03.060 Okay, I lived in L.A. for seven years.
00:33:05.780 I've been around show business for a while.
00:33:07.920 It's just true.
00:33:08.600 I'm not saying it's a good thing.
00:33:09.600 It's actually kind of a bad thing.
00:33:10.820 But it's how human nature works.
00:33:12.800 It is true.
00:33:13.360 When you're rich and you're famous and you're a celebrity, women throw themselves at you.
00:33:17.060 It's true.
00:33:18.120 I've known enough real celebrities to have seen this sort of thing happen.
00:33:21.860 And so Trump's just joking about this with Billy Bush.
00:33:24.520 And that was the big October surprise.
00:33:25.820 So the defense of that became that this was just locker room talk, which it was.
00:33:30.960 It was locker room talk.
00:33:32.520 Again, it's not a defense of locker room talk.
00:33:34.540 Locker room talk can be very naughty and downright sinful.
00:33:37.700 But that's what it was.
00:33:38.480 Michael Cohen alleges on the stand that the person who came up with the locker room talk defense was President Trump's wife, Melania, which is just so beautiful.
00:33:50.680 Apparently, Trump shook his head no when Cohen said this in court.
00:33:56.380 So I don't know.
00:33:56.720 Maybe Trump's saying no.
00:33:57.600 It wasn't her who came up with it.
00:33:59.280 But if it was, it gives me even more respect for Melania.
00:34:03.480 Because Melania Trump, she's graceful, she's beautiful, and she's kind of no-nonsense, right?
00:34:12.880 We've got some pretty frivolous first ladies and political spouses in our American political system.
00:34:21.040 They're not so frivolous in Slovenia, okay?
00:34:23.900 They're not.
00:34:24.480 This is a no-nonsense woman.
00:34:26.240 She speaks a number of languages.
00:34:28.400 She's apparently a practicing Catholic.
00:34:30.900 She's, and she knows how to separate reality from nonsense.
00:34:37.360 And so this attack on her husband that he made some joke, you know, with Billy Bush off camera, accidentally on camera because it was a hot mic.
00:34:45.900 Like, if it was Melania who came up with the locker room talk defense, it would further bolster my idea, my gut feeling that normal people, Melania Trump, she's not a political wife in the sense that she hasn't been, she didn't go to Georgetown School of Foreign Service.
00:35:06.360 She's not one of these beltway apparatchiks.
00:35:08.540 She was a model who married this very successful man, and then later on, this successful man got into politics.
00:35:14.520 So she finds herself, you know, a little bit fishy out of water in politics.
00:35:18.100 In that way, she's really kind of a normal person, and normal people know exactly what that is.
00:35:22.500 The beltway people can rend their garments, gnash their teeth, clutch their pearls.
00:35:27.460 Can you imagine that Donald Trump made this bawdy joke with a guy when he thought he wasn't being recorded?
00:35:33.120 Yeah, normal people can imagine that, because that's how normal people often behave.
00:35:38.120 Yeah.
00:35:39.220 Give me a break.
00:35:40.940 That's the best they got.
00:35:43.820 Michael Cohen set up a company to transfer money from President Trump to a media organization, maybe.
00:35:52.000 And Melania Trump, just knocked my cigar case down, Melania Trump is normal, and has normal faculties of perception shared by a lot of people.
00:36:04.700 Okay.
00:36:06.040 Yeah.
00:36:06.500 If anything, I think that would probably help Trump, if that turned out to be true.
00:36:11.120 Because there's not a lot of political correctness in Slovenia, and most people are sick of political correctness.
00:36:15.720 We now call it wokeness.
00:36:16.800 The Democrats are going to need to do better if they want this man to wear an orange jumpsuit.
00:36:23.240 Ladies and gentlemen, if you missed Sunday night's series premiere of The Daily Wire's first ever full-length animated sitcom, Mr. Burcham, there is no need to panic.
00:36:30.440 Episodes one and two are now available on demand, streaming exclusively on Daily Wire+.
00:36:34.720 Let me introduce you to Mr. Burcham.
00:36:37.340 He's the no-nonsense junior high woodshop teacher struggling to navigate a world he doesn't understand or approve of.
00:36:43.040 He's constantly clashing with his gamer son, Snowflake students, and most notably, the school's spirited Jedi officer, Mr. Carpanzi.
00:36:52.260 The Jedi stands for justice, equity, diversity, and inclusion, in case you were wondering.
00:36:56.200 Or as Adam Carolla, the creator and voice of Mr. Burcham, puts it, he's an old school guy living in a new school world.

00:37:26.220 My favorite comment yesterday is from KevinMCD112, who says,
00:37:29.280 I don't understand why Michael has a problem with Joe Biden shaking hands with one of his voters.
00:37:33.940 You make a great point.
00:37:34.940 When Biden turned to no one and shook hands with what seemed to be a ghost, I perhaps unfairly thought that Biden was just losing his mind.
00:37:46.640 But no, you're right.
00:37:47.900 There might have been a ghost there.
00:37:49.560 And if it was a ghost, then we know that that person is going to vote for Biden.
00:37:53.280 So you're right.
00:37:53.900 He's just serving his constituency.
00:37:56.520 Speaking of the election, Nancy Pelosi, former Speaker of the House, just traveled over to the Oxford Union to have a debate with Winston Marshall, the banjo player from Mumford & Sons, over the 2016 election.
00:38:14.800 That sounds like I just read some kind of Mad Lib from you.
00:38:18.300 I guess Nancy Pelosi is a Mad Lib.
00:38:20.000 But it sounds like I just filled in the blanks.
00:38:22.320 It's very unusual.
00:38:23.620 And yet it happened.
00:38:25.420 And Winston Marshall performed marvelously.
00:38:29.100 Before COVID, intelligence services colluded with big tech to have Trump suspended off Twitter.
00:38:34.880 Yes, the same platform which hosted the Taliban and Ayatollah death to Israel Khomeini.
00:38:41.320 They thought the president crossed the line when he tweeted on Jan 6th, quote,
00:38:46.980 That's a quote.
00:38:54.920 You may be thinking now that Trump is a populist.
00:38:57.920 You are right.
00:38:58.840 He didn't accept the 2020 elections, and he should have.
00:39:01.880 So should Hillary in 2016, so should Brussels, and so should Westminster in 2016, and so too should Congresswoman Pelosi, instead of saying the 2016 election, was, quote, hijacked.
00:39:15.980 Quote, hijacked.
00:39:17.840 It was.
00:39:18.920 It was.
00:39:19.780 It was, she says.
00:39:21.420 It was.
00:39:21.860 Thank you.
00:39:21.880 Thank you.
00:39:21.960 So she says, she's not really following Robert's rules of order here.
00:39:33.820 She's calling out from the bench.
00:39:35.820 She says, it was hijacked.
00:39:36.900 That doesn't mean that we don't accept the results of it.
00:39:39.920 The banjo player from Mumford & Sons completely destroys Nancy Pelosi with facts and logic, and actually allows her to undermine her own position.
00:39:49.380 Love it.
00:39:49.980 Mumford & Sons has some pretty conservative songs.
00:39:53.400 My son, my eldest son, he's really into Mumford & Sons.
00:39:56.400 He sings that song, I Will Wait For You.
00:39:58.780 It's mostly just the chorus all the time.
00:40:00.660 And you think of the song, The Cave.
00:40:02.700 The Cave is based on Plato, and it's very conservative.
00:40:06.140 I love that.
00:40:06.900 I think it's the final stanza.
00:40:08.720 He says, I need freedom now.
00:40:10.920 I need to know how to live my life as it's meant to be.
00:40:13.400 That's the conservative understanding of freedom, not the liberal understanding of freedom.
00:40:17.240 So sing your siren song.
00:40:19.980 And something all you want.
00:40:23.940 I don't know.
00:40:24.520 I forget the lyrics.
00:40:25.140 But anyway, they're extremely conservative, and it's all about Plato.
00:40:27.900 So I'm not surprised that he's giving this really great conservative speech here.
00:40:31.840 But notice how she undermines her position.
00:40:35.080 She goes, it was hijacked, but that doesn't mean we don't accept the results of the election.
00:40:39.600 That's precisely the Donald Trump position on 2020.
00:40:43.640 It's not even slightly off from Trump's position.
00:40:47.780 Trump says the 2020 election was hijacked.
00:40:51.780 It was rigged.
00:40:53.480 And then he accepted the results of the election.
00:40:56.400 He challenged it through as many legal mechanisms as he could.
00:40:59.960 The legal system failed.
00:41:02.360 And then he accepted the results of the election and moved out.
00:41:05.080 When they talk about Donald Trump, the worst insurrectionist ever, January 6th, the worst day in the history of this or any republic,
00:41:10.120 Donald Trump did, and nothing different than the Democrats did, and he continues to hold views that are no different than the views of the leading Democrats vis-a-vis the legitimacy of the elections.
00:41:26.140 There is no difference whatsoever.
00:41:27.740 There is a big difference in how those views are portrayed in the media.
00:41:30.340 But what Winston Marshall did here was get Pelosi to admit, yeah, I hold exactly the same view as Trump.
00:41:36.540 But it's okay when I do it because I'm a big lib.
00:41:39.100 Now, speaking of San Francisco residents such as Nancy Pelosi, a San Francisco teacher has just come out on camera and said that the state of Israel has no right to exist.
00:41:50.840 This is the kind of thing you would expect from the liberal teachers.
00:41:53.400 And also, I guess you might expect this too, that the United States has no right to exist.
00:41:57.840 I believe Israel has no right to exist.
00:42:00.340 I believe the United States has no right to exist.
00:42:03.080 I believe every settler colony who has committed genocide against native peoples, against indigenous people, has no right to exist.
00:42:13.460 I believe in a free Palestine from the river to the sea.
00:42:18.580 I believe one day Palestine will be free.
00:42:22.060 Is this news to anybody?
00:42:24.180 White supremacy destroys for the sake of destruction.
00:42:28.700 Abolition destroys for the sake of creation.
00:42:33.260 We are not the same.
00:42:35.020 I have an unwavering respect for children.
00:42:38.060 Okay.
00:42:38.200 All right.
00:42:38.580 I think I got enough of her platitudes.
00:42:40.500 So, yeah, she's admitting I want to destroy stuff, but it's okay when I do it.
00:42:46.660 And the reason is that Israel has no right to exist and America has no right to exist.
00:42:52.880 So, Israel has no right to exist.
00:42:54.440 Why?
00:42:54.700 Because they took the land from the Arabs in 1948.
00:42:57.020 I think today is the anniversary of some Israeli, maybe the anniversary of the establishment of the State of Israel or something like that.
00:43:03.760 Professor Jacob was telling me in the makeup room.
00:43:06.360 So, because the Israelis took the land from the Arabs, Israel doesn't have a right to exist.
00:43:12.460 My question for this teacher and for all of the pro-Palestine activists out there, when did the Arabs get the land?
00:43:21.140 When and how did the Arabs get to the Levant?
00:43:25.700 Because the word Arab refers to Arabia, which is a different place than the Levant.
00:43:31.800 So, when and how did that happen?
00:43:34.600 I'll answer it for you.
00:43:36.300 It happened in the 7th century after Muhammad founded Islam.
00:43:40.520 And then Muslims very, very quickly conquered a lot of lands.
00:43:44.900 And in fact, within a century of the founding of Islam, or just about a century within the founding of Islam,
00:43:50.040 the Muslims made it all the way to Tours, Poitiers, 150 miles outside of Paris,
00:43:55.240 and almost conquered Europe, though happily they were unsuccessful because Charles Martel,
00:44:00.920 the grandfather of Charlemagne, beat them back.
00:44:04.200 But that's how, they conquered it.
00:44:06.520 Okay, so if your argument is the Jews don't have a right to the State of Israel because they conquered it from the Arabs,
00:44:11.260 well, how did the Arabs get it?
00:44:12.280 They conquered it too.
00:44:13.680 Same thing here, why she brings up the United States.
00:44:15.440 America doesn't have a right to exist.
00:44:17.760 Why not?
00:44:18.180 Well, because we took the land from the Native Americans.
00:44:20.700 Okay, well, where did they get the land from?
00:44:22.180 This is the subject of my PragerU video that came out about a month ago.
00:44:25.240 Where did they get the land from?
00:44:27.620 Where did the Lakota Sioux get the Black Hills from?
00:44:32.860 They conquered it.
00:44:33.820 They took it from the Cheyenne and the Kiowa and all sorts of other Native Americans.
00:44:39.560 And we used to recognize something, which is the law and right of conquest.
00:44:44.020 You take the land, well, there you go.
00:44:46.160 You establish a polity based on the degree to which you have the political and military ability to defend that polity.
00:44:53.960 I'm not saying there isn't such a thing as natural law and even international law.
00:44:58.640 But I'm not saying there isn't such a thing as just war, justice in going to war and justice in conducting war.
00:45:03.740 All of those things are very real and noble through reason.
00:45:06.080 And also, there is such a thing as the law of conquest.
00:45:10.040 That's how it works.
00:45:11.580 It's amazing.
00:45:12.720 I'm not surprised to see the left-wingers take the side of Arab liberation or something.
00:45:18.700 But it is kind of funny to see the conservatives do it.
00:45:21.460 It's, you know, it's sometimes, and it's only very fringe right-wingers who do it.
00:45:25.960 But I don't know if you guys are history buffs or anything.
00:45:28.960 There was this time at the very peak of Western civilization when Christendom sent soldiers to the Holy Land to take the land from the Muslims.
00:45:39.640 Okay, I'm not defending it.
00:45:41.480 Well, I am defending it, actually.
00:45:42.720 But I'm not calling for a new crusade or anything like that.
00:45:45.300 I'm just pointing out, you know, the peak of Western civilization where we get so much of our political and civilizational identity was when we sent Christians to take this land from the Arabs.
00:45:55.240 And now we're told that, you know, the great conservative cause and the great cause of morality is to restore this land to the Arabs.
00:46:04.540 Seems a little bit weird to me.
00:46:06.540 And no surprise that the same arguments that you're hearing from these, you know, lesbian communists with crazy colored hair on the college campuses with regard to the state of Israel are the arguments being used against the United States as well.
