Transcript

00:00:00.000 The White House is furious over Republicans' latest dirty trick, which is to show people videos of Joe Biden.
00:00:09.040 There seems to be a sort of rash of videos that have been edited to make the president appear especially frail or mentally confused.
00:00:17.340 I'm wondering if the White House is especially worried about the fact that this appears to be a pattern that we're seeing more well.
00:00:24.440 Yeah, and I think you all have called this the cheap fakes video, and that's exactly what they are.
00:00:29.420 They are cheap fakes video.
00:00:30.800 They are done in bad fakes.
00:00:33.080 And some of your news organization have been very clear, have stressed that these right-wing, the white-wing critics of the president have a credibility problem because of the fact-checkers have repeatedly caught them pushing misinformation, disinformation.
00:00:50.480 And so we see this, and this is something coming from your part of the world, calling them cheap fakes and misinformation.
00:00:57.740 And I'll quote the Washington Post, where they wrote about this, and they said how Republicans use misleading videos to attack Biden in a 24-hour period.
00:01:09.040 I'm going to quote the Washington Post, and these are misleading.
00:01:11.640 And I'm going to, and you guys have pointed out how bad and misleading and, but they're just videos.
00:01:18.640 All right, you'll notice the White House press secretary does not call the videos deep fakes.
00:01:24.680 She calls them cheap fakes.
00:01:26.560 It's a little play on words because she can't say deep fakes because deep fakes refers to a specific kind of computer-manipulated video.
00:01:34.280 And these are not computer-manipulated videos.
00:01:37.380 They're not really manipulated at all.
00:01:39.260 And she's still lying by calling them fakes of any kind because, as RNC Research has pointed out, RNC Research posts a lot of these videos that are being promoted.
00:01:48.360 The videos are unedited, unfiltered, and publicly available.
00:01:54.680 It's not even as though the videos were taken surreptitiously.
00:01:57.160 Publicly, publicly available, RNC Research just says, hey, here's Biden looking pitiful.
00:02:03.520 Hey, here's Biden freezing up.
00:02:05.360 Hey, here's Biden stammering over his words.
00:02:07.400 Hey, here's Biden about to be defeated by a flight of stairs.
00:02:11.960 And the greatest irony of the whole thing is that the term fake news has finally come full circle.
00:02:18.080 Total boomerang.
00:02:18.980 The term fake news, a lot of people forget, took off around 2016 when liberals complained that conservative news sites,
00:02:27.160 were popular on social media.
00:02:29.420 So they made a spreadsheet that went viral listing the sites that they hated, Daily Wire among them,
00:02:34.160 even though Daily Wire had been around for about six months at that point.
00:02:36.840 And they called those sites fake news.
00:02:40.340 Then Trump flipped it.
00:02:42.840 He pointed out that the real fake news outlets are places like the New York Times and the Washington Post and the TV networks,
00:02:48.100 which regularly lie on behalf of Democrats.
00:02:51.020 At which point, the libs flipped and bemoaned the phrase fake news, the phrase that they themselves had popularized as a dangerous attack on the supposedly intrepid journalists of the fourth estate.
00:03:02.700 But now, after spending years lamenting the notion of fake news, the libs in both the government and the liberal press are embracing it once again.
00:03:11.120 And this time, they aren't even using it to attack conservative-leaning news outlets.
00:03:15.760 This time, the libs have gotten so brazen that they are calling simple videos of Joe Biden fake.
00:03:24.080 Because for the libs, the only real and legitimate news is the kind that has been manipulated and even suppressed by the supposed journalists.
00:03:34.200 I'm Michael Knowles.
00:03:34.860 This is The Michael Knowles Show.
00:03:35.680 The Michael Knowles Show.
00:04:05.680 I have a new website because my candles are so popular and they keep selling out at The Daily Wire that there's a whole new company.
00:04:10.860 It's called thecandleclub.com.
00:04:12.780 Go to thecandleclub.com.
00:04:14.420 You have to have the the in there.
00:04:16.180 This candle is my seasonal candle.

00:04:20.340 It smells like a zesty little citrus delight.
00:04:23.940 We're going to light that up.
00:04:25.200 I've got other candles.
00:04:26.180 We've got the PSL candle, very popular.
00:04:28.300 We have the Wise Man, which is a riff on my extremely popular Lenten candle, Smells and Bells.
00:04:34.580 Wise Man, really, really good.
00:04:36.180 Then we've got an old waspy New England kind of candle called Old Soul.
00:04:41.100 We've got a lot of candles.
00:04:42.240 We have the creamy candle for the Reims de la Reims.
00:04:44.640 We've got a lot.
00:04:45.320 Plus, we have Mayflower cigar candles.
00:04:47.900 Those are super premium candles and beautiful colored glass jars.
00:04:51.240 They're just really great stuff.
00:04:52.220 So, go to thecandleclub.com right now.
00:04:55.460 Especially get Sicilian summer before it runs out.
00:04:58.440 And if you're a big fan of Smells and Bells, make sure you order Wise Man immediately.
00:05:03.120 There's so much more to say.
00:05:04.120 But first, men, have you heard of Roe Sparks?
00:05:07.040 Go to roe.co slash Knowles right now.
00:05:11.420 This dual action prescription merges the powerhouse ingredients found in generic Viagra and Cialis,
00:05:16.300 Sildenafil, and Tadalafil into one formidable treatment of Phil.
00:05:21.940 But it's not merely the ingredients in the medication.
00:05:24.300 It's how you're taking it.
00:05:25.520 That is why Roe Sparks is designed to dissolve under your tongue.
00:05:29.600 That's huge because dissolvable treatment hits your bloodstream faster than the old school pills.
00:05:34.520 Roe Sparks keeps you present with your partner.
00:05:36.880 Partner is a term we once called a spouse.
00:05:39.880 So, it will keep you present with your spouse instead of waiting for a pill to work.
00:05:45.000 Roe Sparks leverages the benefits of sublingual administration, meaning the tablet dissolves under your tongue.
00:05:51.560 This method allows for fast absorption directly into the bloodstream, bypassing the digestive system.
00:05:56.740 The result, quicker onset of action, reducing the wait time typically associated with pills.
00:06:01.900 Plus, Tadalafil is really funny to say.
00:06:04.480 And it's the active ingredient Cialis which lasts in the system for up to 36 hours.
00:06:09.280 So, when the mood is right, you will be ready without another dose.
00:06:12.780 For treatment that works fast and lasts long, connect with a provider at roe.co slash Knowles to find out if Roe Sparks are right for you.

00:06:25.060 Compounded drugs are permitted to be prescribed under federal law but are not FDA approved and do not undergo FDA safety, effectiveness, or manufacturing review.
00:06:30.700 Only available if prescribed after an online consultation with a provider.
00:06:34.940 Cheap fakes, except they're not fake.
00:06:37.080 They're not manipulated at all.
00:06:38.280 Mike Lee, the great Utah senator, has a wonderful thread on X just showing all these sorts of videos that the White House is lamenting and calling cheap fakes.
00:06:49.520 But it's just video of Biden.
00:06:51.740 It's not even edited.
00:06:53.560 In fact, the only videos that really seem to have a heavy hand of editing on them are the Democrats' attempts to spin the videos that make Biden look bad.
00:07:02.460 Here's a great example, and this is the latest one of these to go viral.
00:07:07.400 Biden was just with Obama and Jimmy Kimmel in L.A. at a major Democrat fundraiser.
00:07:12.980 And they filled up the auditorium.
00:07:14.620 I'm sure they raised a lot of money out in la-la land.
00:07:17.460 And then at the end, Biden seemed to freeze up on stage.
00:07:21.240 Here, we have a clip of it.
00:07:22.600 So, there's Biden and Obama.
00:07:27.440 They're waving to the crowd.
00:07:29.640 Is that Kimmel in the background?
00:07:31.880 Absolute toady and sycophant for the liberal establishment.
00:07:34.960 There he is.
00:07:36.660 There's Obama.
00:07:37.240 He's still doing crowd work.
00:07:38.220 And there's Biden, just totally frozen up.
00:07:40.800 Then Barack Obama reaches down, grabs Joe's hand, starts pulling him off stage.
00:07:46.240 And then, so devastating, Biden's walking off like a confused grandpa, which he is.
00:07:51.100 And there's Obama with his hand on Joe's back, pushing him, guiding him.
00:07:55.880 This way, grandpa.
00:07:57.120 This way.
00:07:57.460 He doesn't even let off.
00:07:58.720 Even as they approach the stage curtain.
00:08:00.800 Even as the curtain's coming down, Biden is still keeping his hand on Joe's back.
00:08:05.900 He even moves it to his lower back to have even more control.
00:08:08.660 No, no, no.
00:08:08.940 This way, Joe.
00:08:09.680 This way, grandpa.
00:08:11.680 Really paints a picture.
00:08:13.320 A lot of people have suggested that Barack Obama is still having a lot of influence in Washington, D.C.
00:08:17.440 A lot of his old apparatchiks have roles in the Biden administration.
00:08:21.380 Well, this is the perfect visual expression of that.
00:08:24.680 Obama literally guiding Joe Biden around, pushing him around.
00:08:29.040 So, that's the video that's gone viral.
00:08:31.900 It's just a video of the two of them walking off a stage.
00:08:36.740 Here is the video that the Democrats want to show you of the exact same event.
00:08:41.460 This is why they're calling the Republican video a cheap fake.
00:08:44.180 Here's what they show.
00:08:45.080 And if you're watching the show right now, you can see them side by side.
00:08:47.680 If you're only listening, I'll narrate it for you in my mellifluous, dulcet tones.
00:08:52.060 It's okay.
00:08:53.080 There we go.
00:08:53.920 Obama waving.
00:08:54.800 You can see this is perfectly time synced up.
00:08:57.620 Biden freezes.
00:08:58.520 So, oop, camera angle cuts away.
00:09:00.600 Now, it cuts to behind the crowd.
00:09:02.480 You can barely see Obama and Biden on stage anymore.
00:09:05.000 That's that big, big wide shot.
00:09:07.040 Then, the minute it cuts back in, Obama and Biden are walking off stage.
00:09:10.720 So, this is the Democrat cut trying to minimize even the appearance of Obama's hand on Biden.
00:09:19.260 That's what they say.
00:09:20.820 That's the true video.
00:09:22.220 No, that's the one with all the cuts.
00:09:23.940 That's the one with the heavy editing.
00:09:25.240 The Republican video has basically no editing at all.
00:09:27.800 It's just one camera angle.
00:09:29.540 This is true on any show.
00:09:30.960 Just to keep things visually interesting, we'll have a couple cameras going on.
00:09:34.760 You know, I've got one right down the barrel that I talk to on this show.
00:09:38.700 But we've got a camera on a dolly over here.
00:09:40.960 Sometimes we have a third camera.
00:09:42.580 Sometimes even a fourth camera.
00:09:43.820 And it keeps things visually interesting.
00:09:46.020 But all those multiple cameras can be used to paint a different picture.
00:09:52.400 If, for instance, I, like Joe Biden, just froze up one day, they'd probably cut to different camera angles or try to fix it.
00:09:59.960 That's what the Democrats are doing here.
00:10:02.580 The most honest video is the Republican video.
00:10:05.660 That's the one we're told is fake.
00:10:06.620 Because for the libs, the only legitimate news has to come through the official establishment propaganda outlets, which work in tandem with the White House.
00:10:19.040 That's why it's the propaganda outlets, the supposed intrepid journalists, who are bringing this up.
00:10:23.260 They're saying, are you worried at the White House about all of these very embarrassing videos that those awful, evil Republicans keep sharing?
00:10:31.840 Why, yes, we are.
00:10:32.900 And that's why we're using the same term that you guys cooked up to discredit those videos.
00:10:38.700 Because we're working together, basically.
00:10:41.760 And you, Washington Post, New York Times, and CNN, NBC, you're just our publicists.
00:10:47.120 The Washington Post and Karine Jean-Pierre have the same job.
00:10:49.860 And that's to carry water for Trump.
00:10:51.900 For Biden, rather.
00:10:53.620 If only they were carrying water for Trump.
00:10:55.420 You'll see a very different relationship between the White House and the press if, and I hope when, President Trump does return to the Oval Office.
00:11:03.540 Now, this stuff isn't really playing.
00:11:06.220 Even though the libs are trying to cover up all the bad stuff, it's not working.
00:11:11.960 The Trump message is getting through.
00:11:13.440 Biden continues to lag in the polls.
00:11:15.520 And even some of the left-wing propaganda outlets are openly worrying about this.
00:11:21.080 CNN's chief data reporter has observed that Trump's spike among black voters doesn't seem to be an aberration.
00:11:32.680 It doesn't seem to just be a little blip on the radar.
00:11:35.440 It seems persistent.
00:11:36.440 I keep looking for this to change, to go back to a historical norm, and it's simply put, has not yet.
00:11:43.200 So this is the margin, or Biden and Trump among black voters, compare where we were at this point in 2020, compare where we are now.
00:11:49.600 You know, at this point, look at this, in 2020, Joe Biden was getting 86% of the African-American vote.
00:11:55.420 Look at where it is now.
00:11:57.540 It's 70%.
00:11:59.120 That's a 16-point drop, John.
00:12:02.040 And more than that, it's not just that Joe Biden is losing ground.
00:12:06.240 It's that Donald Trump is gaining ground.
00:12:08.360 You go from 7%, single digits at this point in 2020, to now 21%.
00:12:14.580 And again, John, I keep looking for signs that this is going to go back to normal, and I don't see it yet in the polling.
00:12:20.840 If anything, right now, we're careening towards a historic performance for a Republican presidential candidate, the likes of which we have not seen in six decades.
00:12:29.800 This is just a week or two after CNN observed a 20-point shift among Hispanic voters.
00:12:34.620 Now, still, Joe Biden has a bare majority of Hispanic support.
00:12:40.480 He has about 51% among Hispanics.
00:12:42.180 But that represents a shift of 20 percentage points in Trump's favor.
00:12:47.300 And now, a week or two later, they're showing another major historic shift among black voters.
00:12:53.180 So you'd say, look, 70% of black voters are still voting for Democrats.
00:12:57.480 That is shocking.
00:12:58.500 Democrats still own the black vote.
00:13:00.940 Sure, yeah, it's true.
00:13:02.120 It's a shocking number.
00:13:02.880 But if Trump can pull anywhere near 21% of the black vote, especially in the key counties, in the key swing states, that's the election.
00:13:13.120 The election's done.
00:13:14.380 And that, of course, is why they're freaking out.
00:13:17.060 I was with CNN in that when I saw this show up in the polls.
00:13:21.380 I thought, here's another blip.
00:13:22.420 We've been told for years and years now, this is the year Republicans pull the black voters over.
00:13:27.100 It would be the first year since the 1940s.
00:13:29.240 But okay, yeah, maybe.
00:13:31.060 Well, it keeps showing up, as the CNN data analyst observes.
00:13:35.860 It keeps showing up persistently, again and again and again.
00:13:38.680 This might not be a blip.
00:13:40.920 Even the—forget about black people or Hispanic people or what the particular aspects of those identities and communities.
00:13:49.100 The fact that the most Democrat reliable constituencies are shifting over to Trump, according to all the polls in huge numbers, signals a major, major challenge for Biden.
00:14:05.000 And so what the Democrats have to be thinking now is we must reduce the voice of the people in this election.
00:14:11.280 That is why Joe Biden proposed these debates with Trump that are not part of the Presidential Commission on Presidential Debates.
00:14:18.480 He's proposed these debates that are going to be run by CNN and, I think, ABC News.
00:14:25.640 And the debates are not going to have people at them because they fear, the Democrats fear, that the people are going to applaud for Trump and boo Joe Biden.
00:14:33.780 These debates are going to mute microphones.
00:14:35.780 So Trump, much quicker on his feet, not only than Biden, but than really any Democrat candidate in my lifetime.
00:14:43.040 Maybe Bill Clinton had a similar quick-wittedness, but Clinton's long out of it.
00:14:48.480 So all those little zingers, remember in the 2016 debates, I don't want to live in a country where Donald Trump is president.
00:14:54.400 Yeah, because you'd be in jail.
00:14:55.720 Boom, zing, done.
00:14:57.260 You remember, even during the primary debates, you've called women all sorts of terrible names.
00:15:01.040 Only Rosie O'Donnell.
00:15:02.240 Boom, zing.
00:15:02.880 These are really quick-witted responses.
00:15:04.880 You're not going to see any of that in the coming debate between Biden and Trump because Biden can't compete on the wit.
00:15:10.620 So they're going to mute their microphones.
00:15:12.580 You're not going to hear any of it.
00:15:14.240 And Biden can't compete on the people, so they're not going to let the people into the debate.
00:15:18.460 And it's going to be liberal news outlets who are coming up with the questions and asking the questions and enforcing the time limits.
00:15:24.160 So they're doing everything they can to protect Biden.
00:15:29.140 And the way they're going to protect Biden now is not by rallying the hordes of people.
00:15:34.140 Even the usual Democrat mobs that they call up every four years during the elections, the BLM mobs say.
00:15:42.040 Even they are turning on the Democrats because this year it's the campus intifada.
00:15:45.300 It's these pro-Palestine people who hate Biden because they blame Biden for how the war in Gaza is being conducted.
00:15:51.740 The only way that the Democrats are going to win is through suppression.
00:15:55.000 Now, I want you to continue to hear this show.
00:15:57.880 We have noticed a little bit of social media chicanery as the election ramps up.
00:16:02.320 We've noticed a little bit of a hand on some of our social media platforms.
00:16:06.840 So it's more important than ever, subscribe to the Michael Knowles YouTube channel.
00:16:09.460 Smash the subscribe button.
00:16:10.900 Ring, ding the bell.
00:16:12.540 Maybe we'll still be suppressed, but worth giving us the best shot possible to get the word out.
00:16:17.640 The chief strategy is suppression, and the chief instance of this strategy is the prosecution of Donald Trump.
00:16:27.100 They want to throw the guy into prison.
00:16:28.420 So now that they've managed to get convictions on 34 felonies, we don't even know what the underlying crime was.
00:16:33.680 No Democrat can tell us what it is.
00:16:35.960 Biden is running with it.
00:16:37.080 He's got a new ad that he's putting $50 million behind.
00:16:40.220 And the ad is that Trump is a felon.
00:16:43.700 In the courtroom, we see Donald Trump for who he is.
00:16:47.880 He's been convicted of 34 felonies, found liable for sexual assault, and he committed financial fraud.
00:16:55.200 Meanwhile, Joe Biden's been working, lowering health care costs and making big corporations pay their fair share.
00:17:02.700 This election is between a convicted criminal who's only out for himself and a president who's fighting for your family.
00:17:11.060 I'm Joe Biden, and I approve this message.
00:17:13.800 Okay, there it is.
00:17:14.880 This is the most boomer, boring political ad you've ever seen.
00:17:20.020 Classic.
00:17:20.900 We've seen the same ad for decades now.
00:17:23.880 The opponent is a bad man.
00:17:27.040 Dark music.
00:17:28.680 Gloomy voice.
00:17:30.180 Bad, bad, bad.
00:17:31.680 But our candidate is a good man.
00:17:34.820 Happy music.
00:17:35.780 Bright color.
00:17:36.880 Vote for our candidate, not our opponent.
00:17:40.720 Brought to you by boomers for TV ads.
00:17:43.360 So that's it.
00:17:44.660 This is the test of the Democrat strategy.
00:17:49.680 50 million bucks behind it, as generic an ad as you could ever see.
00:17:56.280 So you can't really blame the ad for the failure of this strategy.
00:17:59.720 This is the culmination of the strategy to suppress Trump, then to prosecute him, then to convict him for felonies that we can't even quite name.
00:18:07.140 This is it.
00:18:07.880 Does this play in Peoria?
00:18:10.840 Does imprisoning your political rival help you win elections?
00:18:16.420 The Democrats have bet pretty much everything that it does.
00:18:21.380 The polling that we've seen does not suggest that it does.
00:18:25.340 Poll after poll show the majority of Americans believe that the prosecution of Trump was primarily motivated by partisan politics.
00:18:31.380 The polls that we've seen in recent weeks, major shift of Hispanics to Trump, major shift of black voters to Trump, major shift.
00:18:39.240 In the swing states, it's not even a shift.
00:18:40.880 The swing states have been almost uniformly for Trump.
00:18:43.820 He's had an advantage now for months.
00:18:45.460 We'll see.
00:18:47.720 50 million dollars behind this ad.
00:18:49.440 Does it pay off?
00:18:50.200 If it does, okay.
00:18:52.220 It was a risky bet, and it upended 234 years of American political tradition.
00:18:57.280 It's probably fundamentally degraded our constitutional order.
00:19:00.740 But hey, at least the Democrats are going to have an easier chance winning an election.
00:19:03.860 If it doesn't pay off, though, what a beautiful, poetic justice that we're seeing.
00:19:15.140 The Democrats were willing to destroy the country just to gain a little bit of an electoral advantage, and in the end, it might have actually hurt them at the polls.
00:19:23.740 We'll find out.
00:19:24.600 I'm not going to be the Pollyanna one over here, rosy glasses, to say that everything Biden tries doesn't work.
00:19:31.100 No, it might work.
00:19:32.180 Imprisoning your opponents has been a tried-and-true political strategy around the world for many centuries now.
00:19:38.280 Does it work here or does it work now?
00:19:40.660 I'm skeptical that it does, but we'll see.
00:19:42.780 A $50 million June ad buy is a great way to test it out.
00:19:45.900 Now, it's not all negative stuff coming out of the Biden administration.
00:19:50.820 It's 99.99999% negative stuff.
00:19:53.880 If there's one good thing coming out of the Biden administration, and it's out of a role that really has nothing to do with Joe Biden, that would be out of the Surgeon General's office.
00:20:01.740 Surgeon General calling for a warning label on social media for young people.
00:20:06.440 Surgeon General Vivek Murthy.
00:20:08.460 The Vivek name is getting very popular.
00:20:11.900 I was under the impression that my friend Vivek Ramaswamy, he was like the only Vivek I had ever met in my life.
00:20:18.960 Vivek's getting very popular in politics, especially Ramaswamy.
00:20:22.360 But now Murthy, too, calls for a mandatory warning label on social media, warning about the mental health risks for teenagers.
00:20:29.500 He writes,
00:20:29.940 I am 100% for this.
00:20:53.600 He's absolutely right.
00:20:54.900 And frankly, it should go further.
00:20:57.000 Because we don't only have a Surgeon General's warning label on cigarettes and booze and substances like that.
00:21:04.740 We also have laws that prohibit minors from accessing these things.
00:21:10.560 And we should have the same for social media.
00:21:13.960 And maybe it can vary by the state.
00:21:15.920 I would have no problem with a federal law about this, though.
00:21:18.420 Just as we have federal laws about tobacco and booze.
00:21:20.760 Young people, really young people, should not be permitted on these platforms.
00:21:27.400 It causes major mental health crises, all sorts of body issues.
00:21:31.680 It's obviously behind the major drive of the transgender ideology and a lot of the other LGBT, LMNOP nonsense.
00:21:39.040 But it comes with all other sorts of things.
00:21:41.300 There's a ton of cyberbullying, a lot of body dysmorphia, you know, young girls wanting to look pencil thin and engage in all sorts of depraved behaviors as obscenity spreads on these platforms.
00:21:54.360 Now, some of the platforms are openly saying, yeah, we welcome obscenity onto the platform.
00:21:57.960 And we're going to try to put some limits in, but it's not really going to work.
00:22:00.980 Kids should just be banned from this stuff.
00:22:02.700 I will almost certainly not give my children a smartphone when they reach out.
00:22:06.640 Who knows what the technology will be at that age?
00:22:08.160 But I wouldn't give them a smartphone because of this, because of the predators that are lurking on these platforms.
00:22:14.060 Love it.
00:22:15.060 Surgeon General, keep it up.
00:22:16.700 Congress, you should definitely put the warning label.
00:22:19.060 And frankly, let's just ban it for young kids.
00:22:23.300 There's so much more to say.
00:22:24.520 First, though, go to lumen.me.
00:22:27.380 Use promo code Knowles.
00:22:28.820 Folks, it is tough to prioritize your health, especially if you're not sure where to start.
00:22:33.600 It's not just about making a decision.
00:22:35.240 It's about making a commitment to a better quality of life.
00:22:38.080 That's why I love lumen.
00:22:39.020 Because if you're going to make that kind of commitment, you want it to be easy and cool.
00:22:42.660 And that is exactly what lumen is.
00:22:44.720 So easy and cool that even I can do it and provides me with extremely valuable information.
00:22:49.260 Lumen is the world's first handheld metabolic coach.
00:22:52.040 It is a device that measures your metabolism through your breath.
00:22:55.560 All you have to do is breathe into your lumen.
00:22:57.520 First thing in the morning, you will know what is going on with your metabolism.
00:23:00.580 Whether you're burning mostly fats or carbs, what sets it apart is its ability to understand you on a personal level.
00:23:06.360 So it takes those unique metabolic data, crafts a personalized nutrition plan for that day, tailored to your body's needs and goals.
00:23:13.320 I really love it.
00:23:14.500 You can breathe into it.
00:23:16.120 Then you get all the info on your phone.
00:23:18.880 And especially for me, I don't really go to the doctor's office too often.
00:23:22.080 It gives you that info really, really quickly.
00:23:23.560 If you want to take the next step in improving your health, go to lumen.me.
00:23:26.500 Use code NOLS.
00:23:27.740 Get $100 off your lumen.
00:23:29.200 That is L-U-M-E-N dot M-E.
00:23:32.280 Use NOLS at checkout for $100 off.
00:23:34.140 Thank you, Lumen, for sponsoring this show.
00:23:36.840 Speaking of kids, MSNBC has the most depraved column of the week.
00:23:44.200 Should have gotten to this yesterday, but I don't want it to be too far from Father's Day when we point out that MSNBC ran a column, Father's Day, titled,
00:23:52.200 Happy Father's Day to the men who knew they weren't ready to be dads.
00:23:57.300 Subheader, in a post-Roe world, we recognize the men who knew expanding their family was not tenable.
00:24:02.100 And the men who knew delaying parenthood was a form of family planning.
00:24:07.660 I think you get where this is going.
00:24:10.480 It is a column celebrating the fathers who murdered their children.
00:24:16.140 This is how it opens.
00:24:17.120 I'll just read you the first few lines here.
00:24:18.760 Father's Day festivities at my Brooklyn home are wholesome and joyful, a privilege.
00:24:25.320 This year, my nine-year-old and my five-year-old will present their father with handmade cards and a framed gift.
00:24:30.360 I'll give my husband a well-earned bottle of whiskey and a thank you for being the equal parenting partner.
00:24:36.680 Feminist language is just awful.
00:24:38.240 My equal partner, not my husband, not the father.
00:24:40.840 No, no, no, my equal partner.
00:24:42.460 And the dad our boys deserve type of father I never had.
00:24:45.740 I'll also take a moment to think about a different man who, like me, knew he wasn't ready to be a parent.
00:24:52.160 Not yet.
00:24:53.140 A man who 14 years ago held my hand through a seven-minute surgical abortion that gave us both the chance to go our separate ways and be the parents we are today.
00:25:00.940 Okay.
00:25:01.340 So, she's thanking this guy that knocked her up 14 years ago.
00:25:06.740 And she's going to think on Father's Day, she'll think of her husband and she'll think of her children.
00:25:13.740 And she'll also think of the man who helped her murder their child 14 years ago.
00:25:19.640 And that's the, these dads deserve to be honored on Father's Day too because they made the courageous choice to murder their kids.
00:25:29.640 The irony with this, it's that in celebrating these fathers, these murderous, the infanticidal fathers on Father's Day, the liberals are proving that they don't really believe their own propaganda.
00:25:47.160 Because the liberal propaganda, remember, is that the babies aren't really babies.
00:25:53.840 So, the mother isn't really a mother.
00:25:55.340 And when she has an abortion, she's not really murdering her child.
00:25:58.100 It's just a surgical procedure to remove the products of pregnancy.
00:26:01.000 And we won't say exactly what the products of pregnancy are.
00:26:03.080 And if we do, we'll use euphemisms like fetus and embryo, which are just stages of human development.
00:26:06.960 But we'll just try to pretend that it's not a human and it's not alive.
00:26:10.060 And we'll pretend that the father has no rights here.
00:26:12.460 There's no, who cares?
00:26:13.060 It's just my body, my choice.
00:26:14.180 It has nothing to do with the father.
00:26:15.200 Except, well, no, we should celebrate this father who supported me in not taking responsibility for our decisions and who supported me in killing the child that we shared, who's now dead.
00:26:26.560 And we're going to celebrate him on Father's Day.
00:26:30.640 Why Father's Day?
00:26:34.820 To celebrate these guys on Father's Day is to admit that the baby was a baby.
00:26:41.440 Because if the baby wasn't a baby, then the guy wouldn't be a father.
00:26:46.200 What about on Mother's Day?
00:26:47.680 Does she think about this guy on Mother's Day?
00:26:49.600 Does she think about the kid she killed on Mother's Day?
00:26:52.280 I don't know.
00:26:52.680 I don't see any columns about that on MSNBC.
00:26:56.420 It's very dark and sad.
00:27:02.120 But it is at least refreshing that unwittingly they're admitting that their propaganda is BS.
00:27:07.620 They do the same stuff with gay marriage and with the transgender ideology.
00:27:11.920 I guess with all the weird sex stuff, up to and including killing your own kid.
00:27:16.160 Gay marriage is just the same as regular marriage.
00:27:18.720 It's just marriage.
00:27:19.440 Love is love is love is love.
00:27:20.540 And that's why they need to march about it all the time.
00:27:23.240 And that's why they need to force you to affirm it.
00:27:25.020 And that's why they need to punish you if you in any way point out that men and women are different.
00:27:29.160 Same thing with transgenderism.
00:27:30.540 A trans woman is a real woman.
00:27:34.660 And that's why they need to tell you all the time.
00:27:39.200 Except by using the phrase trans woman, they're acknowledging that a trans woman is a distinct category of person from a woman.
00:27:47.080 Because if they weren't a distinct type of person, they wouldn't need the modifier.
00:27:53.420 By referring to same-sex marriage or marriage equality or whatever the euphemism du jour is, they're acknowledging that this type of union is in fact different from a marriage.
00:28:05.180 And the trans person is in fact different.
00:28:08.480 The trans woman is in fact different from the woman.
00:28:10.660 The trans man is in fact different from the man.
00:28:12.600 Because they aren't rebelling against us, these libs.
00:28:19.500 Ultimately, they're not rebelling against the conservatives, the traditionalists, the old fogies.
00:28:25.200 They're rebelling against nature.
00:28:27.320 That's why the language trips them up.
00:28:29.420 That's why they step on the rhetorical rake of celebrating dads who murder their kids on Father's Day.
00:28:36.160 Even while simultaneously trying to argue that the kids they murder aren't really kids.
00:28:40.360 Because they're rebelling against nature.
00:28:42.240 They're rebelling against reality and therefore against the God who created nature.
00:28:50.120 That's really what it's about.
00:28:52.320 So they yell at us like a person shoots the messenger.
00:28:57.260 We're just telling you marriage has a meaning.
00:28:59.180 We're just telling you men and women are actually different.
00:29:01.480 We're just telling you the babies are babies.
00:29:03.000 Don't shoot the messenger.
00:29:05.980 They do want to shoot the messenger.
00:29:07.000 But ultimately, it's because they're rebelling against a fact that is far longer established than we are and against a being who is far more powerful than we are as well.
00:29:18.680 Now, speaking of Father's Day, Chuck Schumer.
00:29:22.200 Poor Chuck Schumer, Senate Majority Leader, posted a picture that was so cringe he had to delete it.
00:29:30.260 To delete something on social media, it's got to be pretty bad if you're going to delete it.
00:29:33.720 He posted a picture of himself in a t-shirt grilling.
00:29:37.420 And Schumer says, our family has lived in an apartment building for all our years, but my daughter and her wife just bought a house with a backyard.
00:29:46.920 And for the first time, we're having a barbecue with hot dogs and hamburgers on the grill.
00:29:51.860 Father's Day heaven.
00:29:52.840 But then you zoom in, and there's Schumer, like every out-of-touch politician, holding the burger on the spatula.
00:30:01.960 And you've got hot dogs, which look pretty well cooked.
00:30:04.980 They've got the grill marks on them.
00:30:06.940 But then you've got raw burger patties.
00:30:10.340 And then you've got a slice of cheese on the raw burger patty.
00:30:14.200 Because Chuck Schumer's never grilled anything in his life.
00:30:17.240 And this looks totally, to use a phrase from the Utes.
00:30:23.280 It looks totally fake and gay.
00:30:25.600 This is a slang phrase that the Utes have been using actually since I was a Ute.
00:30:30.180 And I'm using it in a really technical sense here.
00:30:32.980 Fake and gay refers to something that is contrived.
00:30:38.420 That's the fake part.
00:30:39.980 And lame.
00:30:40.960 It doesn't mean gay exactly in a homosexual way so much as it means like a schoolyard taunt.
00:30:47.780 You know, that's so gay.
00:30:48.760 Like it's lame.
00:30:49.600 Something could be simply fake and not gay.
00:30:54.580 Like if Chuck Schumer were walking down the street.
00:30:57.700 He was being filmed and walking down the street with a bazooka and he blew up a Ferrari.
00:31:01.840 That would be fake.
00:31:02.880 It was obviously contrived for a video.
00:31:05.600 But it wouldn't be gay.
00:31:06.540 It would be kind of interesting and unexpected.
00:31:08.760 And conversely, something could be not fake.
00:31:13.400 It could be organic or as a matter of happenstance.
00:31:19.000 But still gay and kind of lame.
00:31:21.160 Like I don't know if Chuck Schumer were caught on a camera, you know, playing an open mic night singing John Denver songs or something.
00:31:28.980 That would be, it would be kind of lame and cringe.
00:31:31.380 But it wouldn't be fake.
00:31:33.080 This is both though.
00:31:34.380 This is totally contrived and pretty lame.
00:31:37.980 It's Schumer trying to show that he's just a regular guy.
00:31:42.140 And he's trying to normalize really aberrant things in there.
00:31:46.980 So I really think it's bad to attack the kids of public figures and I refrain from doing it.
00:31:53.780 In this case, Schumer is making his daughter a public figure.
00:31:58.000 And obviously, she's an adult now too and seems to be somewhat involved in politics herself.
00:32:02.220 But he's the one bringing it up.
00:32:03.620 I'm not bringing it up.
00:32:04.440 I find it distasteful to bring this stuff up.
00:32:05.940 But he's bringing it up because he's trying to normalize the notion that a woman can have a wife, which is not possible.
00:32:10.580 A wife has a husband.
00:32:12.220 That's what makes a wife a wife.
00:32:14.020 And a husband has a wife.
00:32:14.900 That's what makes a husband a husband.
00:32:15.920 That's why we have terms for this that are not just man and woman.
00:32:21.500 And furthermore, Schumer has made a big deal about how his daughter and her lesbian paramour purchased a child.
00:32:29.380 Got a child somehow.
00:32:30.220 I don't know how they got a child.
00:32:31.300 But they got a child.
00:32:32.380 They didn't do it the old-fashioned way.
00:32:33.720 That's for sure.
00:32:34.820 And so he's trying to normalize these things.
00:32:36.860 And this is what the Libs are always trying to do.
00:32:37.940 They're trying to normalize their really aberrant and deviant ideologies through behavior that is ostensibly normal.
00:32:44.880 But they don't know how to be normal.
00:32:46.700 So Chuck Schumer doing one of the most basic things a guy can do, which is grill a hamburger, he somehow screws it up.
00:32:53.540 And I don't mean to be so harsh on Schumer.
00:32:56.420 I have a kind of affection for Chuck Schumer because I grew up in New York.
00:32:59.560 So I've met Chuck Schumer on a number of occasions because this guy is the politician's politician.
00:33:04.380 He shows up to every event, every graduation, everything.
00:33:07.600 He's just there glad-handing, simpering, slapping backs, shaking hands.
00:33:11.460 He's really a nice enough guy.
00:33:13.500 He's one of the only members of Congress who didn't get rich in the job.
00:33:17.860 He still lives within relatively modest means.
00:33:21.880 He doesn't have the Nancy Pelosi investing strategy, it seems.
00:33:24.180 So I don't even think he's corrupt.
00:33:27.020 It's just his ideology is very corrupt.
00:33:31.260 And it leads to embarrassing moments.
00:33:33.660 Like when people who are given over to these kinds of ideologies try to behave in a normal way, it doesn't work.
00:33:41.820 It doesn't persuade anybody.
00:33:43.500 Ultimately, he had to take the photo down.
00:33:45.480 How out of touch do you have to be that a picture of you grilling is so absurd that you have to delete it?
00:33:54.340 That's not a good look for the party of the people, supposedly.
00:33:59.120 Now, for more authentic conversations, we turn to Logan Paul, famous YouTuber, interviewing President Trump about aliens.
00:34:06.600 You have no idea how many times I'm asked that question.
00:34:09.640 But don't you have access to that information?
00:34:11.500 I have access, and I speak to people about it.
00:34:14.100 I've had actually meetings on it, and they will tell you there's something going on.
00:34:19.600 When they say things are going four times faster than my beautiful top-of-the-line airplane that goes, you know, real fast.
00:34:27.240 With no identifiable propulsion system.
00:34:28.760 Mock 2, right?
00:34:29.980 These things are creating their own gravity fields, allegedly.
00:34:32.460 Well, they have people that are very smart and very solid have said they believe there is something out there.
00:34:41.840 And, you know, it makes sense that there could be.
00:34:44.640 I've never been convinced, even despite that.
00:34:47.600 You know, I just, for some reason, it's not my thing.
00:34:50.520 But a lot of people believe that it's true.
00:34:52.480 A lot of very good, solid people believe it's true.
00:34:55.520 I know there are illegal aliens out there, but those are the ones that come through the border.
00:34:59.820 We have plenty of them.
00:35:01.100 Those are the ones I know.
00:35:02.060 When you say aliens, I say, are they illegal aliens?
00:35:05.220 These might be illegal, but we don't want to test them.
00:35:09.300 Because if they can go four times faster, we're not going to test them.
00:35:14.080 Perfect answer.
00:35:15.780 It's the perfect answer.
00:35:17.280 Not just because it's funny.
00:35:18.480 He's a funny guy.
00:35:19.180 He was a top entertainer in America for decades.
00:35:21.760 Not just because he's saying, look, I love these people.
00:35:24.740 Everyone who's saying these things, they're great.
00:35:26.740 We like them.
00:35:27.880 Politics is the art of inclusion.
00:35:29.020 He's trying to bring people in.
00:35:30.540 The reason this is such a good answer is because the UFO stuff is extremely stupid and UFOs aren't real.
00:35:36.580 Like, UFOs are real.
00:35:37.560 There are certain things in the air that we don't know what they are.
00:35:39.820 Or some people do know what they are.
00:35:41.640 And perhaps it's just classified information or for whatever reason remains clandestine.
00:35:46.140 But E.T. is not real.
00:35:47.560 There's no such thing as a Martian.
00:35:49.240 And so what Trump does adeptly and winsomely is he redirects the conversation to a real issue.
00:35:56.520 He goes, I know about illegal aliens.
00:35:57.820 That's a real problem.
00:35:59.180 That is a real problem.
00:36:00.040 In fact, that issue is at or very near the top of most people's policy priority list.
00:36:09.340 The fact that there's an invasion across our southern border and it's creating social strife
00:36:13.780 and it's damaging the economy and it's damaging the social fabric.
00:36:18.340 That's a real issue.
00:36:19.580 Martians, E.T., that's a fake news distraction from the libs.
00:36:23.500 It's demons for atheists at best.
00:36:28.680 And Trump says, yeah, no, I don't know.
00:36:30.320 Look, I don't know.
00:36:30.900 It's not really my thing.
00:36:32.200 I don't really believe in E.T.
00:36:33.400 But you know, I do believe in Pablo, the illegal alien who's coming in and committing crimes.
00:36:38.600 That's real.
00:36:39.020 He just redirects it back to the issues that matter.
00:36:42.080 That is what a politician has to do, especially when the Democrats are doing everything they can.
00:36:46.120 I'm not saying Logan Paul is doing this.
00:36:47.360 He brings up a question that is being talked about in the media, but it's because the Democrats want to distract from real issues.
00:36:53.380 And Trump gives a little funny answer and he says, let's get back to the real issues that are actually going to win me this election.
00:36:59.360 Now, speaking of winning, you can win your morning routine when you check out Jeremy's razors.

00:37:38.160 My favorite comment yesterday is from Jesus or Destruction.
00:37:43.260 It's a good, fair name.
00:37:45.440 Yeah, I like that.
00:37:45.860 Who says, Biden wants to be a tough guy so badly.
00:37:49.740 Biden is kind of a tough guy, actually.
00:37:52.000 You know I don't care for the man, and I think he's a dreadful president and everything.
00:37:55.380 But he is kind of a tough guy.
00:37:56.460 The man has managed to sit toward or at the top of American politics for half a century.
00:38:01.780 The man sent his, or at least was aware of, his crackhead son flying around the world, shaking down foreign leaders, trading on Joe's influence.
00:38:11.980 And if Hunter Biden's texts and emails are to be believed, giving a cut to the big guy.
00:38:18.060 Hunter putting Joe Biden's home address to receive wires of money from these corrupt business activities.
00:38:25.800 Joe Biden is kind of a tough guy.
00:38:27.480 And he bullies people, and he's nasty, and he lies.
00:38:32.040 He is kind of a tough guy.
00:38:33.520 Now, he's failing.
00:38:35.140 He's old, and he's frail, and he's senile.
00:38:38.040 So he looks much weaker now.
00:38:39.820 But he's a tough guy.
00:38:40.920 Say what you want about Joe Biden.
00:38:42.940 You can knock his intellect.
00:38:44.380 You can knock his morals.
00:38:45.840 You can knock his principles.
00:38:47.440 You can knock anything about him.
00:38:50.080 Tough guy.
00:38:51.680 He's hung around a long time.
00:38:53.520 He's a tough guy.
00:38:54.000 Now, speaking of the issues that really matter, what are some of those issues that really matter?
00:39:02.120 I want to get to one that hit the news, an issue near and dear to my art.
00:39:05.820 Business Insider has a report on it.
00:39:08.760 House Republicans need a place to smoke cigars.
00:39:13.200 And I know a lot about this story, actually.
00:39:17.620 According to the headline, House Republicans say they, quote, desperately need a place to smoke cigars.
00:39:22.840 House Republicans are facing yet another crisis.
00:39:26.980 Here we are.
00:39:27.260 This is reporting.
00:39:28.060 It's meant to make the Republicans look bad, out of touch, maybe even a little silly, foppish almost.
00:39:36.620 They need a place to smoke their cigars.
00:39:39.460 Say it's only tangentially related to the business of crafting and passing laws.
00:39:42.880 They need a place to smoke cigars near the House floor.
00:39:45.920 Until recently, they had one.
00:39:47.160 Representative Tom Cole, a long-serving Oklahoma Republican, with a penchant for cigars, had provided space for such activities as chair of the House Rules Committee, which meets on the second floor of the Capitol.
00:39:58.220 The Rules Office was a great place, Cole told Axios.
00:40:01.020 But I'm not the chairman anymore, so he lost his office.
00:40:03.020 So now, where are the cigar smokers going to smoke?
00:40:04.920 According to a Pennsylvania representative, Guy Reschenthaler, he says, there's no better time to build a relationship than over a cigar.
00:40:14.860 You can actually have a long conversation with somebody, and it really leads to building bridges.
00:40:18.380 Very true.
00:40:19.340 And there is such a thing as the Congressional Cigar Caucus.
00:40:23.200 I know this because Congressman Reschenthaler actually played a role in the creation of Mayflower cigars.
00:40:30.900 So I keep meaning to get a box of these cigars over.
00:40:35.500 I got to make sure it's within the ethics limits or whatever they limit, you know.
00:40:38.760 But I want to get the Congressional Cigar Caucus some Mayflowers because one of the untold aspects of the Mayflower cigar story is that I was backstage once on the Mike Huckabee Show.
00:40:51.640 And Congressman Guy Reschenthaler was also backstage.
00:40:54.660 He was on the show that night.
00:40:55.880 And he comes up to me and goes, Knowles, you're a cigar guy, right?
00:40:58.420 I say, yeah.
00:40:58.920 He's like, oh, well, you know, I'm in the Congressional Cigar Caucus.
00:41:01.600 You know, I got to – and I guess Guy has some campaign cigars or something.
00:41:05.780 He says, you know, yeah, you got to try one of my campaign cigars or this, that, or that.
00:41:08.600 We get to talking.
00:41:09.840 And I say, you know, yeah, I'm actually thinking about starting a cigar company.
00:41:12.980 This was right around the time it was going to kick off.
00:41:14.380 And I picked his brain on the cigar industry and, you know, different factories and things like brands and, you know, all sorts of stuff, cigars and politics.
00:41:26.380 And he said, well, you know, I am the Congressional Cigar Caucus.
00:41:29.540 And he gave me some advice that actually did help lead to the creation of the Mayflower Cigar Company.
00:41:36.580 And I still haven't made it to the Congressional Cigar Caucus.
00:41:39.220 I look forward to it, though.
00:41:40.140 I recently saw a member of that caucus, another member of Congress came by, made sure that he gets to try out some Mayflower cigars.
00:41:49.280 And it's important.
00:41:50.520 So why is it important?
00:41:53.100 Why is Guy saying that there's no better time to build a relationship than over a cigar, especially for conservatives?
00:41:58.980 Because many reasons.
00:42:01.180 But one, it forces you to sit down for 30, 45 minutes, maybe an hour, an hour and a half.
00:42:06.260 It forces people who are very busy, politicians are real busy, to sit down and talk.
00:42:12.400 And it's relaxing.
00:42:13.580 It gives you something to focus your mind on.
00:42:16.060 You cut the cigar, you light the cigar, the taste of the cigar, so that you're a little more relaxed.
00:42:20.940 I'm not even saying you're relaxed from the nicotine.
00:42:22.880 You're more relaxed from the act of doing that.
00:42:25.280 And you can speak a little more freely.
00:42:26.820 And the other thing about cigars is it seems like a vice while not being a vice.
00:42:35.340 Anything, I suppose, taken to excess could be a vice.
00:42:37.860 Broccoli could become a vice if you're gluttonous about it.
00:42:39.920 But it doesn't change your mind.
00:42:42.560 It's not like you get drunk on cigars.
00:42:44.060 It's not like you get high from cigars.
00:42:45.780 It seems like it's a vice, which is great.
00:42:48.100 It lowers the temperature.
00:42:49.280 But it's not really a vice.
00:42:51.840 I don't know how the Democrats hang out.
00:42:54.520 I don't know what they do.
00:42:56.120 They probably smoke a bunch of pot and go to orgies or something.
00:42:58.840 But Republicans don't want to do that.
00:43:00.300 Republicans want to be orderly.
00:43:02.680 But you have a nice cigar.
00:43:04.580 Maybe you have a drink with it.
00:43:05.560 Maybe you don't have a drink with it.
00:43:06.940 But it allows you to get things done.
00:43:08.420 Because politics is about relationships.
00:43:10.360 It's about people.
00:43:11.440 Especially if you're talking about the House of Representatives.
00:43:13.060 That's supposed to represent the appetitive part of the government.
00:43:15.700 The part of the government associated with pathos.
00:43:18.760 With the desires of the people.
00:43:21.140 That's why they run for office every two years.
00:43:23.340 They're the closest to the people.
00:43:26.120 They need a spot.
00:43:27.740 They need to smoke their cigarettes.
00:43:28.840 It's very important.
00:43:29.560 It's a fun recreation.
00:43:31.180 I like doing it.
00:43:31.720 But it serves a political function.
00:43:34.340 The smoke-filled back rooms get a bad rap.
00:43:37.920 Because they were disconnected from the people.
00:43:40.560 And it was secret deals.
00:43:42.260 And some would argue, actually, the government ran better when we had smoke-filled back rooms.
00:43:45.040 But the reason they got their bad reputation is because they were back rooms.
00:43:50.100 Not because of the smoke.
00:43:51.100 The smoke is very conducive to politics.
00:43:53.820 At least the civilized kind of politics.
00:43:56.080 And we need to get the House Republicans a good spot to smoke their cigars.
00:43:59.380 And they need to smoke Mayflower cigars, if you ask me.
00:44:02.100 Call your congressman.
00:44:03.100 Let them know.
00:44:05.080 Speaking of other pressing issues.
00:44:06.680 I guess the big issue.
00:44:07.620 The big one that is shaping the elections in the United Kingdom right now.
00:44:10.980 That's shaping the European Parliament elections.
00:44:12.620 And it very likely will shape the 2024 election.
00:44:15.480 Immigration.
00:44:16.120 Can't get away from it.
00:44:17.220 Even libs like Bill Maher are acknowledging this could really hurt the Democrats.
00:44:23.000 Voters keep saying over and over again,
00:44:25.240 we are not comfortable with this level of immigration.
00:44:27.940 And I understand why.
00:44:29.280 It doesn't make you a racist to say that.
00:44:31.240 And yet, the liberal parts of, certainly in America,
00:44:35.640 Alex Padilla said last week, he is our senator here.
00:44:39.120 By reviving Trump's asylum ban, Biden has undermined American values.
00:44:44.900 And then they all stand back and go,
00:44:46.800 we don't want to be called a racist, so we will not make a move on immigration.
00:44:50.780 It's going to get them on election day.
00:44:53.160 It's happening.
00:44:53.800 It's happening in Europe right now.
00:44:55.460 That proves it in Europe.
00:44:56.860 And it's going to happen here in America.
00:44:58.520 It happened with Brexit.
00:44:59.500 It's going to happen again.
00:45:01.680 I think Bill Maher is totally right if the election is fair and square.
00:45:06.720 Knock the Brits all you want,
00:45:10.320 but they seem like they're able to run pretty fair and square elections,
00:45:14.400 and their election season is much shorter than our election season,
00:45:18.020 in part because they have regulations around it.
00:45:21.160 And the same goes for even continental European elections.
00:45:26.420 Frankly, same goes for South American elections.
00:45:28.460 You know, these places that very often they don't even use electronic voting machines.
00:45:34.600 They use old-fashioned pen and paper ballots.
00:45:37.960 And they're able to get results that night.
00:45:42.260 And the election seasons are a lot tighter.
00:45:44.320 When they're a little more fair and square,
00:45:45.760 and you've got election watchers, and you've got integrity,
00:45:48.140 immigration is a big issue,
00:45:51.560 and it really damages the liberals and the globalists.
00:45:54.120 Which does raise a question here.
00:45:56.400 I wish I could give attribution.
00:45:58.080 I forget who raised this point on X the other day.
00:46:01.540 But someone made the point,
00:46:03.300 whenever I think of it, I'll give attribution.
00:46:05.840 You've got to ask yourself,
00:46:07.260 what are the electronic voting machines for?
00:46:11.040 They're not for speed of figuring out who won.
00:46:17.120 The pen and paper ballots are able to do that a lot faster.
00:46:20.640 For us now, it takes us days and weeks to count all the ballots.
00:46:24.780 It's not for election security.
00:46:27.360 We don't even take IDs anymore in a lot of places.
00:46:31.160 In fact, it's illegal to ask for an ID at voting locations in large parts of the country.
00:46:37.600 It's not for, is it so that we know that, I don't know,
00:46:42.900 the people who are permitted to vote,
00:46:44.740 just their ballots can't be falsified?
00:46:48.040 Well, of course they can, they're much more likely to be falsified
00:46:50.720 on an electronic machine that can be hacked than on a pen and paper ballot.
00:46:54.240 No, what is it for?
00:46:56.200 It seemed to me that it is for rigging elections.
00:47:00.940 That's all it, what's the benefit?
00:47:03.000 What's the other benefit?
00:47:04.380 I don't see it.
00:47:05.080 So that's the part Bill Maher is leaving out of his analysis here.
00:47:07.940 What if they can just kind of rig it a little bit?
00:47:10.100 They've said that Trump is Hitler 2.0.
00:47:11.780 They're willing to upend the whole political order and imprison the guy.
00:47:15.060 There's nothing they won't do.
00:47:16.180 They're trying to throw the guy in prison.
00:47:18.460 You can't tell me there's anything that they won't do that's beyond their lust for power.
00:47:24.200 Much more to say, but today's Teeheehee Tuesday,
00:47:26.800 and we've got to get to the member room segmentum.
00:47:28.980 And I actually have a joke to tell in the member room segmentum.
00:47:31.860 The show continues now.
