The Michael Knowles Show - Ep. 1518 - CNN Cuts Trump Spokesman's Mic In A Live Broadcast

00:00:00.000 Hey, can you, uh, plug my phone in?

00:00:02.000 Phone plan, $75.

00:00:04.280 Sure, um, can you turn on the light so I can find the cord?

00:00:07.500 Electric bill, $100.

00:00:10.240 So, want to watch your show before bed?

00:00:12.260 Sorry, your account has insufficient funds.

00:00:15.000 When you're in debt, everything looks different.

00:00:17.540 Even going to bed.

00:00:25.000 Farber Debt Solutions. Licensed insolvency trustees.

00:00:27.940 Get the truth about debt.

00:00:30.000 In June of 2022, Joe Biden hired a cross-dressing kleptomaniac canine fetishist

00:00:35.020 to help manage nuclear waste in the Department of Energy. 0.93

00:00:38.720 In August of 2022, Joe Biden hired a homosexual Satanist with a pentagram tattoo 0.92

00:00:44.860 and matching leather harness to be the White House monkeypox coordinator. 0.92

00:00:49.980 Presumably, that man's job was to coordinate how everyone would catch monkeypox at the White House.

00:00:53.980 Now, Joe Biden has hired an androgynous pinko who wants to abolish law and immigration enforcement

00:01:02.200 to be the White House associate communications director.

00:01:06.360 Since this new hire, Tyler Cherry, was announced, he has come under scrutiny and he has attempted to disavow his past remarks and behaviors.

00:01:18.540 Two days ago, Mr. Cherry tweeted, quote,

00:01:21.120 That's the only part of the whole hiring that confuses me.

00:01:36.900 Mr. Cherry's posts, from mocking law enforcement to promoting degeneracy,

00:01:43.420 seem entirely in line with this administration's agenda.

00:01:46.980 As far as I'm concerned, he is the perfect spokesman for the Biden White House.

00:01:51.200 So why would he disavow any of it?

00:01:55.040 I'm Michael Knowles. This is The Michael Knowles Show.

00:02:15.600 Welcome back to the show.

00:02:17.140 CNN was interviewing President Trump's spokesman and pulled her from the air 0.70

00:02:21.320 after the spokesman just quoted back to CNN what CNN hosts,

00:02:26.480 what CNN debate moderators for this week's presidential debate have already said about Trump.

00:02:31.300 That was too much for CNN.

00:02:32.560 We will get to that really beautiful performance by the Trump spokesman.

00:02:37.080 I've got good news and bad news.

00:02:39.280 What do you want first?

00:02:40.420 Do you want the good news or the bad news?

00:02:41.660 The bad news is I have sold out of the Sicilian summer candle.

00:02:49.340 That's the bad news.

00:02:50.540 The good news is I have more candles at thecandleclub.com.

00:02:54.680 You have to put the in there.

00:02:56.140 It's thecandleclub.com.

00:02:57.580 You might be able to get it on the Daily Wire shop,

00:02:59.140 but just go to thecandleclub.com.

00:03:01.920 No more Sicilian summer candle.

00:03:03.660 It's gone.

00:03:04.440 I do have this beautiful candle, Old Soul.

00:03:07.220 This is, if you want that nice, prep, New England, fresh, bright days of America,

00:03:17.000 a little bit waspy, if I dare say so myself, this is the scent for that.

00:03:21.460 An elegant, it's nice, Old Soul.

00:03:25.160 You can also get the Wise Man candle, which is a riff on the Smells and Bells candle,

00:03:29.780 which sold out during lunch.

00:03:30.640 You can also get Pumpkin Spice Latte.

00:03:32.100 It's a little out of season, but it still smells great.

00:03:34.060 You can still get the entire Mayflower line of candles.

00:03:37.440 You can get the creme de la creme candle.

00:03:39.440 But the one you can't get right now is Sicilian summer because it's gone.

00:03:42.060 So get the Old Soul before that one is gone as well.

00:03:47.120 This spate of hiring doesn't look great for the White House.

00:03:51.840 The people who are the face of the White House are embarrassing in their behavior and in their speech.

00:03:58.240 So it's not a great look, but at least they're consistent.

00:04:00.780 They are uniformly embarrassing. 0.98

00:04:02.320 They are uniformly shameless. 0.95

00:04:04.580 We saw this once again with DHS Secretary Mayorkas.

00:04:09.060 Seems like every day I'm playing a new clip of the Secretary of Homeland Security, Mayorkas.

00:04:13.820 It makes sense since Mayorkas is the one who is laying out the red carpet for millions of

00:04:18.720 unvetted illegal aliens to come into this country.

00:04:21.620 Well, Mayorkas just let in some people that it's bad even for him.

00:04:29.040 It's bad even for the Biden administration.

00:04:32.280 This would be ISIS terrorists. 0.83

00:04:35.020 ISIS terrorists were just arrested.

00:04:37.960 Eight of them.

00:04:38.920 They're from ISIS-K, which is a break-off group of ISIS.

00:04:42.980 And that's bad enough that they got into the country. 1.00

00:04:45.520 We then found out they were already known to law enforcement because they had already been stopped when they were crossing into this country illegally.

00:04:53.280 And the Department of Homeland Security just let them go.

00:04:57.880 So not only is the border so open that ISIS terrorists can get through, but our immigration enforcement can meet them, talk to them, say, oh, wow, you guys kind of look like ISIS terrorists.

00:05:07.780 Well, anyway, I guess we got to let you go.

00:05:09.320 So even CNN has to ask the Secretary of Homeland Security about this blunder of the ages, this colossal screw-up.

00:05:18.480 And here is how Mayorkas tries to get out of it.

00:05:21.020 We had eight individuals of concern as to whom we did not have derogatory information when first encountered at the border.

00:05:30.160 We made determinations in the service of our law enforcement objectives, in the service of our highest priority, to keep the American people safe and secure, to take immigration enforcement action.

00:05:42.520 And that is indeed what we did.

00:05:44.760 I have spoken English for about 30, I guess, 33 or so years now.

00:05:51.360 I wrote a whole book on language.

00:05:54.180 I actually speak multiple languages.

00:05:55.980 And in none of the languages that I speak, least of all English, does what that man said make any sense whatsoever.

00:06:02.880 Can we just play the clip again?

00:06:04.640 I want to try to see if I can translate that absolute, prevaricating, obfuscating gobbledygook.

00:06:12.400 We had eight individuals of concern as to whom we did not have derogatory information.

00:06:18.480 As to whom, put a pause, as to whom we did not have derogatory information

00:06:24.020 when we first encountered them.

00:06:26.360 So you got these terrorist-looking dudes cross the border.

00:06:29.620 They illegally, that should have been it. 0.60

00:06:31.520 They get caught.

00:06:32.580 You're going back.

00:06:33.540 But no, because we have an official policy of open borders, letting foreigners just pour into our country in violation of our most basic laws. 1.00

00:06:41.180 DHS, border enforcement, says, okay, well, we got some terrorist-looking dudes coming across.

00:06:46.040 But we don't have any particular derogatory information, whatever the hell that's supposed to mean.

00:06:50.940 So I guess we, hey, fellas, you're not going to do any terrorism, right?

00:06:54.700 What?

00:06:55.060 No.

00:06:55.400 Ha ha. 1.00

00:06:55.720 Why would we ever do terrorism to you, evil, dumb scum of the earth Americans? 1.00

00:06:59.720 You great Satan. 1.00

00:07:00.600 We'll die and pay for your crimes. 1.00

00:07:02.500 No, no. 1.00

00:07:02.960 We would never do any of that.

00:07:04.320 Okay, fellas.

00:07:05.060 Sounds good.

00:07:05.520 Go on in.

00:07:06.640 Go on in now.

00:07:07.480 See you later.

00:07:07.920 And then, Mayorkas decides later on, after these terrorists have been allowed into the country and were caught talking about all sorts of terrorist things, finally, finally, they decide, okay, we're going to take some action.

00:07:20.820 A little late, buddy.

00:07:22.700 And we did exactly, that's why we did exactly what we were supposed to do.

00:07:25.480 Hey, I've got an idea.

00:07:26.560 Look, I'm not, I'm no policy wonk.

00:07:28.920 I am not the Secretary of Homeland Security.

00:07:30.680 How about when terrorist-looking fellas are first encountered at the border, we send them away?

00:07:36.440 I'll go even further.

00:07:37.360 How about when illegal aliens are first encountered at the border?

00:07:43.420 We just send them away then.

00:07:44.660 Then we don't need to worry about it.

00:07:45.840 Then we don't need to monitor the terrorists.

00:07:47.600 We don't need to listen in on their phone calls.

00:07:51.280 Eight of them.

00:07:53.540 Now, some Republicans are taking action.

00:07:55.660 Ted Budd, Republican from North Carolina, and a group of 21 senators are demanding answers here from Mayorkas.

00:08:03.180 There was a sting operation that then took place in LA, New York, and Philly.

00:08:07.360 They were caught on wiretap talking about bombs.

00:08:11.340 Okay, well, I'm glad they didn't set off any bombs.

00:08:14.200 But yesterday I said, I pointed out that Democrat pundits and politicians, members of Congress, are laughing about the fact that illegal aliens are committing rapes and murders in the United States.

00:08:30.040 They're laughing about how conservatives are concerned about that, how we're running headlines about the crimes that illegal aliens are committing. 0.99

00:08:37.140 They think it's kind of funny.

00:08:39.140 They know that these illegal aliens are liable to commit some crimes, bad crimes, rapes and murders, even rapes and murders of teenage girls and younger than teenage girls. 0.99

00:08:51.640 But their calculation is, well, some American kids get raped and murdered. 0.98

00:08:56.420 That's a small price to pay for a permanent electoral advantage. 0.91

00:08:59.360 That's a small price to pay for mass migration, which is going to benefit Democrats in the long term. 0.98

00:09:03.700 So, yeah, some kids have to get raped and murdered, but that's just the cost. 0.96

00:09:07.340 That is the actual calculus that they're engaging in. 0.98

00:09:11.860 And now I guess we'll take it even further.

00:09:13.520 Well, yeah, look, some ISIS terrorists are going to come into the country.

00:09:16.740 And who knows? 0.92

00:09:17.240 Maybe they'll set off some bombs, knock down a couple buildings.

00:09:20.340 Who knows? 0.99

00:09:20.780 Maybe they'll get a dirty bomb. 0.83

00:09:22.360 You know, they'll smuggle a nuclear weapon. 0.98

00:09:23.400 I hope not.

00:09:23.880 But, you know, look, that's a small price to pay for millions and millions more Democrat voters in the long term.

00:09:30.800 There is no limit to what these people will do to secure their political power.

00:09:40.380 There's so much more to say.

00:09:41.600 First, though, text Knowles to 98, 98, 98.

00:09:45.780 Saudi Arabia recently ended its 50-year petrodollar deal with the U.S., which has the potential to weaken the U.S. dollar.

00:09:52.100 Since 1974, Saudi Arabia has sold oil exclusively in U.S. dollars, which was huge for our global economic dominance.

00:09:59.340 If there is less demand for the U.S. dollar, what happens to its value?

00:10:03.440 It's reasons like this that make it important to diversify some of your savings into gold, and you can do that with Birch Gold.

00:10:44.840 That is Knowles to 98, 98, 98.

00:10:48.360 Speaking of foreign nationals and U.S. policy, huge news yesterday.

00:10:52.120 Julian Assange, the founder of WikiLeaks, who's been in custody, in actual official custody for five years, but who was in a kind of unofficial custody seeking asylum at the Ecuadorian embassy in the United Kingdom for, what, something like 10 years before that?

00:11:08.920 He'd been there for a really, really long time in a kind of prison now for a decade or so.

00:11:14.540 He's free.

00:11:17.160 He cut a deal with the U.S. government, and he went free.

00:11:21.920 He's gone.

00:11:23.440 This case has been built up for so long, most people, even if you're pretty tuned into politics, don't remember what this guy was in trouble for in the first place.

00:11:31.760 He was in trouble because, according to the U.S. government, he conspired with a U.S. malcontent from the military, Bradley Manning, who now thinks he's a woman and calls himself Chelsea.

00:11:45.560 He conspired to get military secrets, and he released them in the largest dump of military secrets probably in world history.

00:11:52.300 He was then charged with obtaining and releasing this criminal information, and then he struck a plea deal, and it was a plea deal for time served in London.

00:12:06.740 The release of the military information took place during Obama's presidency, so it goes back a long time, started in 2009, and they released hundreds of thousands of reports about the Iraq War, about Guantanamo Bay, lots of State Department cables.

00:12:26.280 He then also, this was kind of charming, he published Democrat National Committee emails in 2016.

00:12:33.120 There were lots of questions about that and reprisals against him for that.

00:12:38.440 In any case, what are we supposed to think about this?

00:12:43.020 I'm old enough to remember, when this all started, when Assange's legal troubles really kicked up starting in 2009,

00:12:51.160 I'm old enough to remember when the conservatives hated Assange and the liberals loved Assange.

00:12:57.280 Because he was fighting against the war, and again, at that time, the Republicans liked the war, and the Democrats hated the war.

00:13:03.000 But then it flipped, then the Democrats loved the war, and the Republicans hated the war.

00:13:06.340 And it didn't really matter who got elected, we still got the same war.

00:13:08.760 We got more wars, actually.

00:13:10.060 Barack Obama ran against wars in the Middle East, and then we got more wars in the Middle East under Obama.

00:13:15.520 We knocked over Libya, knocked over Egypt, kept the troops in Iraq and Afghanistan. 0.97

00:13:21.320 We drew them down a little bit in Iraq.

00:13:23.700 It just kept going.

00:13:24.520 And so the positions flipped.

00:13:26.400 And so people's opinion of this story is going to be entirely dependent on how one presently views the U.S. government.

00:13:37.520 People are going to try to invoke some higher principle here.

00:13:41.100 They're going to point out Julian Assange, he's a journalist.

00:13:43.400 He is kind of a journalist.

00:13:44.580 And so if you take a view of the free press that's totally absolute, and the press should be able to say whatever they want, that's certainly not my view.

00:13:52.940 But if that's your view, it's a very liberal view, then you're going to say, this is an intrepid journalist, and he must be defended for releasing this information.

00:14:00.300 But I think there are all sorts of limits on speech and on the press.

00:14:05.700 I wrote a whole book about it.

00:14:06.720 And I don't think that journalists have the right to publish super-duper secret classified information of immediate national security import that could endanger millions of lives.

00:14:16.480 I don't think they have any right to do that.

00:14:19.340 That's never been the view of the press in America.

00:14:21.560 But that is the view of ideologues.

00:14:22.960 They will sometimes use that kind of principle to buttress their argument.

00:14:27.680 But what I'm saying here is, your view of Julian Assange, even if you cover it with some facade of a higher principle about journalism or free speech or accountability or whatever, that's all window dressing.

00:14:40.460 What it really comes down to is your present view of the U.S. government.

00:14:44.240 If the U.S. government is still trustworthy, still somewhat accountable, still in line with the American tradition and all the best stuff about our country, then Julian Assange is a villain.

00:14:57.680 Because Julian Assange is violating our laws, he's violating our national secrets, and he's endangering the American political order.

00:15:06.860 If, however, you view the American government as extremely corrupt, as engaged in all manner of evil around the world, as unaccountable to the people, actually as working against the people, then Julian Assange is a hero.

00:15:21.820 He's a hero on behalf of the real American tradition and the way of life, which has been usurped by this distant and wicked elite.

00:15:29.360 And if your view, as is, I think, the case for most people, lies somewhere in between those two poles, then your opinion of Julian Assange's release is going to be complicated and nuanced.

00:15:44.200 But that's what it's going to come down to.

00:15:46.740 Do not – some of the best advice my mother ever gave me when I was a kid was, Michael, I was getting a little big for my britches, and she said, Michael, don't ever believe your own press releases.

00:15:58.280 Don't believe – this is especially important when it comes to politics.

00:16:01.380 Don't believe your own press releases.

00:16:02.800 Don't believe your own highfalutin, abstract, ideological language.

00:16:06.580 This is not about freedom of the press.

00:16:08.860 This is not about free speech.

00:16:10.160 This is not about democracy or freedom or equality or whatever.

00:16:14.000 This is about how corrupt is the U.S. government.

00:16:17.360 This is about how removed, how perfidious, how dirty and rotten is our government.

00:16:25.460 If it's extremely so, then you're celebrating Assange's release.

00:16:29.800 If it's not at all, then you're furious about Assange's release.

00:16:33.080 And if it's somewhere in the middle, you've got a more complex view of Assange's release.

00:16:37.240 Now, regardless, this is a desperate play from the Biden administration because Biden knows that highly ideological young people like Julian Assange because they view him as speaking truth to power.

00:16:53.020 In a sense, he is doing that.

00:16:54.680 He is releasing information from some of the most powerful people in the world, and he's been persecuted as a result of that.

00:17:00.440 And young people like that kind of narrative.

00:17:02.200 So Biden realizes that right now his young voter base hates him because Biden supports Israel and the young liberals despise Israel.

00:17:09.640 And he realizes he's got a big problem because he looks like he's the powerful guy.

00:17:13.900 He looks like he's the authoritarian, the tyrant, the awful, evil, old power that's not accountable to the people.

00:17:23.140 And so he gives them this little dawdle. 0.59

00:17:25.380 He gives them this little trinket.

00:17:27.740 Okay, you can have Julian Assange.

00:17:29.200 If this were not an election year and if Joe Biden were not facing a tough reelection fight, that guy would still be rotten behind bars in the United Kingdom or he'd be extradited to the U.S.

00:17:39.240 But maybe the best part of the release of Assange, forget about the complex questions of his role vis-a-vis the American government and the press, the best part is it shows the Biden White House is really, really worried.

00:17:53.680 They're willing to do anything they can, including conclude this 15-year battle over national security and the free press.

00:18:02.180 So this 15-year battle regarding Assange, okay, whatever, we cave, we give it to you, you can have Assange, please give us our young voters back.

00:18:09.280 Speaking of Lib's desperation, the spokesman for Donald Trump, Caroline Leavitt, just went on CNN and this is what, two, three days before the CNN presidential debate between Biden and Trump.

00:18:23.920 And she goes on and she just points out that CNN is a network that is hostile to Trump.

00:18:31.380 She points out that the people moderating the CNN debate have expressed extreme hostility to Trump in the past.

00:18:38.560 And for that, CNN threw her off the air.

00:18:41.080 First of all, it's, to take someone five minutes to Google Jake Tapper, Donald Trump, to see that Jake Tapper has consistently-

00:18:48.540 Ma'am, we're going to stop this interview if you're going to keep attacking my colleagues. 0.67

00:18:51.000 Ma'am, I'm going to stop this interview if you continue to attack my colleagues.

00:18:55.160 I would like to talk about Joe Biden and Donald Trump, who you work for.

00:18:58.880 Yes.

00:18:59.240 If you are here to speak on his behalf, I am willing to have this conversation.

00:19:03.580 I am stating facts that your colleagues have stated in the past.

00:19:06.740 Now, ask for this debate.

00:19:07.660 We're going to come back out to the panel.

00:19:09.020 Caroline, thank you very much for your time.

00:19:10.860 You are welcome to come back at any point.

00:19:12.980 She is welcome to come back and speak about Donald Trump.

00:19:16.680 And Donald Trump will have equal time to Joe Biden when they both join us now at next, early, later this week in Atlanta for this debate.

00:19:27.020 You're welcome to come back.

00:19:28.240 Cut her, Mike. 0.99

00:19:28.720 Cut her, Mike. 1.00

00:19:29.200 Kill her. 1.00

00:19:29.580 Get her out of here. 1.00

00:19:30.200 Shut her up. 1.00

00:19:30.660 Muzzle her. 1.00

00:19:31.060 No, you're welcome. 0.98

00:19:31.720 We want to hear your views.

00:19:33.100 Why is she still on the screen?

00:19:34.140 Get her out of here. 1.00

00:19:35.820 No, no, no.

00:19:36.680 Donald Trump and Biden will have equal time.

00:19:38.660 Oh, yeah?

00:19:39.060 That's a preview?

00:19:39.800 Is that a preview of how CNN is going to treat Trump's presidential campaign?

00:19:46.800 Because I think it probably is a preview.

00:19:49.140 And it means I bet they're going to be pretty quick on the old cut the mic trigger.

00:19:54.740 And I bet they're going to favor Biden and they're going to disfavor Trump, as has always been the case.

00:20:00.000 That was the only point Trump spokesman was making.

00:20:03.700 Hey, I'm just going to read you quotes from the moderators of the CNN debate to point out that this seems like it's kind of stacked against Trump.

00:20:13.640 No, no, no.

00:20:14.300 She can't read our own words back to us.

00:20:16.120 Cut her, Mike. 0.87

00:20:16.580 Get her out of here. 1.00

00:20:17.380 The woman who did that, the CNN flag, is Casey Hunt. 0.99

00:20:20.780 I don't know Casey Hunt personally at all.

00:20:22.840 But I remember when I first was getting into politics during the 2011-2012 presidential cycle, I went up to New Hampshire.

00:20:33.180 And I was around a number of reporters up there.

00:20:36.880 And I was around the presidential campaigns.

00:20:38.540 And I remember instinctively, I thought, this woman is awful. 1.00

00:20:42.580 It's not like we had some long conversation or anything.

00:20:44.460 I just, I was reading her coverage and I thought, this woman is awful. 1.00

00:20:47.440 She is such a liberal hack. 1.00

00:20:49.320 She is one of the hackiest libs of all the liberal hacks. 1.00

00:20:53.040 And that was back when she was just a small potatoes reporter, I think for Politico at the time.

00:20:58.920 Now she's grown up.

00:21:00.140 She's got her big commentary show on CNN.

00:21:05.220 And she is doing the same kind of stuff.

00:21:09.380 She's going to try to silence the presidential spokesman for the former president, hopefully future president, and Republican nominee. 1.00

00:21:18.620 That is just a preview of things to come on that very network regarding those very same people on Thursday night.

00:21:26.020 There's so much more to say.

00:22:37.900 We know this debate is going to be stacked against Trump.

00:22:41.180 So should we whine and complain about that?

00:22:43.580 Is that really bad?

00:22:44.640 Or should we actually be happy about it?

00:22:47.720 But Eric Trump, the president's son, went on Fox to give his take.

00:22:54.000 Make no mistake, this is still CNN, right?

00:22:56.680 This is Jake Tapper.

00:22:57.540 Jake Tapper has compared my father to Hitler before, right?

00:23:00.260 I mean, Jake Tapper is the guy who will yell at his control room, say, turn this man off.

00:23:04.520 I don't want to hear what he has to say when my father is giving press conferences.

00:23:07.740 I mean, I can't tell you who these people are.

00:23:11.360 You know who they are.

00:23:12.780 You've seen them before.

00:23:13.740 I saw them as I walked into a courtroom every day where they're sitting there with grins on their face.

00:23:19.880 I mean, just ear-to-ear smiles, right?

00:23:22.660 So understand that he's not just going to be debating Joe Biden.

00:23:25.900 He's going to be debating CNN.

00:23:27.180 This is pretty much the best advantage Trump can hope for because Trump, in his personality, can be divisive.

00:23:35.700 I think he's quite charming, and I think that was proven in 2016 when he charmed more voters than Mitt Romney did.

00:23:40.580 He's divisive in his policies, not only because he upholds a lot of the traditional Republican policies, but because he's hearkened back to an even deeper well of conservatism on issues like immigration, on issues like trade, on issues like restraint in foreign policy.

00:23:59.660 Trump is more conservative than Mitt Romney, the nominee from 2012, than John McCain, the nominee from 2008, than George W. Bush in many ways.

00:24:09.980 At least accounting for how far society has moved to the left since the time of George W. Bush, Trump seems relatively more conservative.

00:24:17.740 So that can be very divisive.

00:24:19.200 So when there are so many opportunities for Trump to turn people off, the best advantage he can hope for is to be persecuted because no matter what people think about abortion or marriage or immigration or the war in Ukraine or whatever, the vast majority of Americans can agree that Trump is being persecuted by his political rival, Joe Biden, who has weaponized the government against Donald Trump and that that's wrong.

00:24:45.920 Vast majority of Americans feel that way.

00:24:49.360 Vast majority of Americans hate the news media.

00:24:54.600 They hate it.

00:24:56.580 They hate the political establishment.

00:24:59.820 And it's amazing that Donald Trump, who was the president already, he's already been the president for four years, still manages to present himself as a political outsider.

00:25:08.400 But the reason he can do that is because the political establishment for that entire time has been against him.

00:25:13.920 It's been so, so decidedly against him that they're trying to put him in an orange jumpsuit now.

00:25:19.040 And the media are terribly unfair to him.

00:25:21.980 And the people know that.

00:25:24.180 So if you're Trump, at first I thought, why did he agree to do a debate on CNN and on ABC?

00:25:29.020 He should have tried to get it, you know, one debate on CNN, one debate on, I don't know, the Daily Wire or one debate on Fox or one debate on The Blaze or one debate on, on some right wing network or, you know, even center right network.

00:25:41.140 In the case of Fox, something that's not just decidedly left wing.

00:25:44.920 But then, oh, right, of course, Trump's at his very best when he's going into the lion's den.

00:25:51.960 Trump's at his very best.

00:25:53.280 He just thrives on conflict.

00:25:56.040 And he's anti-fragile in that way, like the author Nassim Nicholas Taleb describes.

00:26:01.200 You know, he gets stronger the more you beat him up.

00:26:03.660 So, great, put him on CNN.

00:26:07.020 He'll probably do better on CNN than he would have done in a debate on a conservative network.

00:26:12.400 He's looking good on the campaign trail.

00:26:14.580 There's one little tactic that, again, I know a lot of people were skeptical of that I think is playing really, really well.

00:26:20.760 Trump just released a video of it alongside a lot of enthusiastic, just behind-the-scenes kind of campaign trail videos.

00:26:27.920 And it's Trump, he's at some burger place, you know, he buys burgers for everybody, you know, pats some kid on the head, gives him a $20 bill.

00:26:34.820 You know, he just, it's all looking good.

00:26:36.500 And then Trump pays the bill for the burgers, and he signs it, and he writes this.

00:26:42.480 No tax on tips.

00:26:48.920 Yeah!

00:26:53.880 Yeah!

00:26:56.120 We love that.

00:26:56.780 There's a great picture, even, then, of the guys making the food behind the counter, and they're holding that.

00:27:02.520 Vote Trump, no tax on tips.

00:27:04.680 This has become something of a meme Trump supporters will do.

00:27:07.340 They'll post their bill.

00:27:08.580 They go out to the restaurant and have dinner, and then they'll leave a tip.

00:27:11.580 And, you know, it's good, just at least, it's good to do generally, but it's also good for communications purposes.

00:27:16.320 Make sure it's a good tip.

00:27:17.280 You know, it's a nice-looking tip.

00:27:18.140 And then you put the nice tip there, and you say, vote Trump, no tax on tips.

00:27:22.700 So, it's visual.

00:27:23.960 Well, Trump is so good at the visual, at the tangible, at, even when he makes fun of his opponents, he paints a picture of that low-energy Jeb.

00:27:31.640 Little Marco.

00:27:33.880 Little Marco, he's always drinking that water.

00:27:35.680 He's always sweating.

00:27:36.420 He just paints this picture.

00:27:38.360 And so, you've got this really clear image in your minds.

00:27:41.320 And here, on the tax code, that can be kind of abstract policy.

00:27:45.100 Even the fact that our taxes are removed from our paychecks before we receive our paychecks.

00:27:49.320 So, a lot of people don't even feel, immediately, the effects of a tax increase or a tax decrease.

00:27:54.520 But, no tax on tips.

00:27:56.700 Okay, I can make sense of that.

00:27:57.800 I know how much I'm, if I'm working as a waiter, I've worked in restaurants.

00:28:01.360 You look, you see, you know exactly what you're getting on that tip.

00:28:05.420 And you say, oh, good.

00:28:06.220 I was paying 20%, 30%, whatever, of that tip in taxes.

00:28:12.520 Now, I'm not.

00:28:13.180 Now, I get to keep that.

00:28:14.120 No tax.

00:28:14.280 And you can take a picture of it.

00:28:15.640 You can see it.

00:28:16.280 Vote Trump, no tax on tip.

00:28:17.420 Okay, I'm into it.

00:28:19.840 Now, some doctrinaire libertarians have criticized Trump for this.

00:28:24.120 They'll say, why are you giving a giveaway to these waiters?

00:28:27.340 What, other kinds of workers don't deserve a giveaway like this?

00:28:30.540 This is just like Biden, you know, giving away student loan forgiveness to college graduates.

00:28:37.500 It's a giveaway, yeah.

00:28:38.760 It's a political maneuver.

00:28:41.480 Yeah, sure.

00:28:43.280 But this one's a lot smarter.

00:28:45.160 Biden is seen as giving money, giving a lot of money to people who statistically are going to make more money than the average American worker.

00:28:56.780 If you graduate from a college, you are likely to make more money, significantly more money than a non-college graduate.

00:29:02.500 So, Biden is going to people who are already kind of rich and giving them a ton more money, hundreds of thousands of dollars potentially each.

00:29:11.000 Trump is seen as going to people who make statistically less money and who do jobs that are really hard jobs.

00:29:19.920 Being a waiter, being a kitchen runner, being a busboy, that's a hard, tiring job.

00:29:24.860 You've got to put up with all sorts of customers all day.

00:29:26.780 And going to those people and saying, hey, that relatively smaller amount of money that is a gratuity, you get to keep more of that if you elect me.

00:29:34.720 It's Trump making concrete the realignment of the parties that he's been pushing for eight or nine years now, which is that the Republicans are going to be the party of working Americans.

00:29:47.380 Democrats are the party of the rich.

00:29:48.780 They're the party of the global elite.

00:29:49.860 They're the party of latte-sipping Hollywood celebrities sending your money to Ukraine, palling around with Zelensky at the World Economic Forum in Davos.

00:30:01.180 Sure, that's going to be the Democrats.

00:30:03.440 Republicans are going to be the party of waiters. 0.86

00:30:06.060 And you can just leave it as an empty promise.

00:30:09.500 Republicans have made that empty promise before.

00:30:11.160 Or you can make it concrete with actual policy and a policy that you can represent visually on a receipt.

00:30:16.960 Vote for Trump, no tax on tips.

00:30:19.240 Brilliant stuff. 0.80

00:30:20.140 Speaking of receipts, Alex Rosen, the pedophile hunter, has just nabbed another pervert.

00:30:28.000 And this pervert happens to be a political figure that would be the head of the LGBTQ Democrats in Maryland. 0.98

00:30:36.880 You're the head of the LGBTQ Dems in Maryland? 0.90

00:30:40.440 Okay.

00:30:41.180 How long have you been in that position for?

00:30:42.900 Since fall.

00:30:43.800 Since fall?

00:30:44.340 Okay.

00:30:44.680 Is that like a paid position?

00:30:46.320 Okay.

00:30:46.780 Just more of a volunteer type thing?

00:30:48.820 Is it like a super PAC or something?

00:30:50.280 Or is it just a...

00:30:51.480 Okay. 1.00

00:30:52.000 Some of this stuff said here, like, you know, I want to rape you. 1.00

00:30:55.720 I want to see how much of a f***er you are. 1.00

00:30:57.060 What was kind of said about that? 0.99

00:30:58.540 I hope you try to get away once I start...

00:31:01.180 Yeah.

00:31:01.840 I like the fantasy.

00:31:03.040 I like the fantasy.

00:31:04.420 And he seemed to enjoy it.

00:31:06.160 And I didn't know this person.

00:31:07.560 And I never intended to be.

00:31:09.000 Do you think that's a good deal?

00:31:10.380 No, of course.

00:31:12.560 With...

00:31:13.000 With a little blow?

00:31:13.560 No, of course not. 0.99

00:31:14.880 Meher said it's okay if you want to jerk off looking at it, talking about your... 0.99

00:31:17.560 And you said stop by this morning so I can stretch your hole. 0.99

00:31:21.960 Can't wait to make you my little... 0.87

00:31:23.400 And this was later that...

00:31:25.240 Or four days later with no response.

00:31:27.320 Can't wait to make you my little... 0.87

00:31:28.520 Dump, baby boy. 0.91

00:31:29.620 Okay. 0.85

00:31:30.460 Okay.

00:31:30.940 So this guy who keeps talking to Alex Rosen for some reason, he's a political figure.

00:31:36.160 He is the head of the LGBTQ Democrats in Maryland.

00:31:40.400 During Pride Month, he gets nabbed, by the way.

00:31:43.300 He's talking to someone he thinks is a 14-year-old boy.

00:31:45.880 Obviously, it's this decoy working for Alex, who's got a big YouTube channel, and who not

00:31:51.980 only does these investigations that the police often won't do, but then he tries to involve

00:31:55.840 law enforcement in it.

00:31:56.620 Sometimes law enforcement will accept this invitation and go and arrest these people

00:32:00.600 and take predators off the street.

00:32:02.440 Sometimes law enforcement won't.

00:32:04.000 In this case, Alex pointed out, he said, in regard to the lack of police involvement in

00:32:09.760 this, please note, we tried to turn this in back in November.

00:32:12.220 They didn't want anything to do with it.

00:32:13.420 Though he admitted, the head of the LGBTQ Dems in Maryland, he admitted to sending

00:32:17.460 obscene photos.

00:32:20.660 In Maryland, the law states you have to be a cop or a real kid for it to be a charge.

00:32:24.340 He admitted to previously possessing child pornography, but did not have any in his possession

00:32:29.020 currently.

00:32:29.700 We are still going to turn all of this over to the cops, but calling them to the scene

00:32:32.740 would have done nothing, and the cops probably will do nothing here.

00:32:36.400 Really, really gross stuff.

00:32:37.940 I sat down with Alex some months ago.

00:32:40.840 We did a full, long Michael and interview.

00:32:44.440 Here's a short teaser.

00:32:46.080 We had a pedo in Wyoming who came to drink baby's blood.

00:32:51.060 I mean, it's so common for people to be into infants and toddlers. 0.97

00:32:54.600 Three of them have said they have received child porn as young as five years old.

00:32:58.480 On the scale of, these guys don't consider anything in the metaphysical realm to, these 0.92

00:33:06.940 are interdimensional demons worshiping Satan.

00:33:10.680 Where do your marks fall?

00:33:14.800 Well, um...

00:33:15.940 You can go check that out on the Michael Knowles YouTube channel under Michael and, that's the

00:33:28.100 series, or Daily War Plus.

00:33:29.500 Really compelling stuff, and it's a shame that law enforcement doesn't want to follow

00:33:35.180 up a lot of the time on these important fines.

00:33:40.180 This is obviously totally humiliating for the head of the LGBTQ Dems in Maryland.

00:33:47.220 You know, awful stuff.

00:33:48.480 Probably criminal.

00:33:49.420 Again, I don't know.

00:33:49.960 I'm not a cop.

00:33:50.440 I'm not a prosecutor.

00:33:51.200 But there's probably some criminal stuff here.

00:33:52.740 But you heard what he said.

00:33:53.380 He said, look, it's just a fantasy.

00:33:54.560 I was just fantasizing.

00:33:55.540 I don't...

00:33:55.900 I wasn't really going to do it.

00:33:57.200 And now he's caught on camera, and his life is ruined.

00:34:00.500 It's humiliating because it's so vile.

00:34:02.920 It's humiliating because it's so shameful.

00:34:05.680 But if you look at this in charity, I know it's very difficult to look at this kind of

00:34:12.160 thing in charity.

00:34:12.920 But if you look at this thing in charity, from the perspective of a fallen world where

00:34:16.480 you say, there but for the grace of God go I, if you try to put yourself in this guy's

00:34:21.740 shoes, you've got to ask yourself, how many things had to go wrong in this guy's life?

00:34:29.040 How many bad decisions did this guy have to make to end up there standing opposite Alex

00:34:36.240 Rosen, being nabbed for all of the world to see, saying and doing some of the most disgusting

00:34:43.240 stuff imaginable?

00:34:44.200 What happened?

00:34:45.040 He obviously is addicted to pornography.

00:34:50.740 That's something that's ubiquitous, though.

00:34:53.360 Porn is everywhere in the culture.

00:34:55.000 Okay, there's that. 0.52

00:34:55.980 He had to believe that certain sexual pathologies and aberrant behaviors and disordered desires

00:35:00.600 are okay.

00:35:01.800 Should be affirmed, you know.

00:35:03.440 Maybe he was born with these kinds of desires, or maybe that's what he told himself.

00:35:06.860 He has to believe that life is about just pursuing your own interests without regard to reason.

00:35:16.780 Think about the time, all the time that this guy has spent scheming and talking to people

00:35:24.220 he thinks are children online.

00:35:25.800 Think about how completely twisted this guy's life is.

00:35:31.620 The reason I bring all that up is it could be anyone.

00:35:35.580 Maybe not this particular crime, but people can end up down a rabbit hole, and it always

00:35:41.020 starts with one bad decision.

00:35:43.460 Maybe some bad circumstance, and then one bad decision leads to another, to another, to

00:35:46.540 another.

00:35:46.840 And before you know it, forget about this guy for a second.

00:35:48.940 Before you know it, you're Hunter Biden, born basically with a silver spoon, whose father

00:35:54.260 is a very influential person, and you're buying crack on Skid Row in Los Angeles.

00:35:58.900 I mean, you think that's a crazy one, or you're going to strip clubs every night, or you're

00:36:01.560 doing whatever.

00:36:02.360 You know, people think, well, that's just someone else.

00:36:06.120 That can't happen to me.

00:36:07.020 It can't.

00:36:07.620 This is a fallen world, man.

00:36:08.600 You can end up in really bad places if we continue to encourage and normalize these sorts 0.72

00:36:13.720 of depraved behaviors.

00:36:15.200 One will lead to another, to another, to another.

00:36:17.420 The libertarians say, legalize everything.

00:36:19.180 You know, just let people do whatever they want.

00:36:21.840 That's freedom or whatever.

00:36:23.380 I don't know.

00:36:23.920 It's the freedom that lands you doing an interview with Alex Rosen.

00:36:26.780 That's the freedom that lands you on Skid Row buying crack.

00:36:29.700 That's, if only there was a little list of that kind of freedom and some more of the

00:36:34.380 real freedom that built up our country, maybe that guy wouldn't be in that position.

00:36:38.920 Now, this Thursday, we are hosting a live Daily Wire backstage for the presidential debate.

00:36:43.100 Daily Wire Plus will simulcast the whole thing.

00:36:44.920 You will hear from Ben Shapiro, Mount Walsh, Andrew Klavan, Jeremy Boring, but more importantly,

00:36:49.760 from yours truly.

00:36:50.560 It starts at 8.30 p.m. Eastern with a pre-show to set the stage, highlight what matters in

00:36:56.220 this debate.

00:36:57.020 Throughout the main event, we will cut through the rhetoric, focus on the substance, or lack

00:37:00.300 thereof, from Biden, and we'll focus on all the good stuff from Donald Trump, even when

00:37:07.000 they try to cut his mic the whole time.

00:37:08.540 After the debate, stick around for our exclusive post-show.

00:37:11.460 We'll break down what was said, what it means for America's future.

00:37:13.740 This is not another debate watch party.

00:37:16.120 It's an opportunity to engage with ideas that shape our nation's trajectory.

00:37:19.020 Do not miss Daily Wire Backstage Live on Daily Wire Plus, Thursday night, starting at 8.30

00:37:24.820 p.m. Eastern.

00:37:26.780 My favorite comment yesterday is from Kevin McD at 112, who says, I learned a long time ago 1.00

00:37:31.520 not to argue with idiots on the internet. 1.00

00:37:34.500 What else do you do on the internet? 1.00

00:37:36.420 I don't, this is a good point though.

00:37:37.940 Actually, it ties in with what we were just saying about how people can be led astray,

00:37:41.660 especially on the internet. 0.99

00:37:43.400 If you find yourself arguing with idiots on the internet, you know, if you find yourself 0.99

00:37:48.080 getting really, really angry in internet fights, one, it's good to remember the futility of 0.99

00:37:53.820 that, the general futility of getting into flame wars on social media.

00:37:58.220 But two, just think about the wasted time.

00:38:00.700 All the things you could be doing in the precious few moments that you were given on this earth,

00:38:05.520 all the opportunity cost to the flame wars on the internet.

00:38:09.520 Then maybe go do something else.

00:38:12.020 Speaking of bad decisions, we're talking about immigration. 1.00

00:38:16.260 We're talking about terrorists crossing the border. 1.00

00:38:19.340 We're talking about illegal aliens that are raping and murdering people. 1.00

00:38:22.260 We're talking about all sorts of stuff. 0.96

00:38:24.300 But amid all of those really scintillating, you know, tabloid headlines, there are less

00:38:32.080 titillating headlines and political issues that do threaten to unravel the country.

00:38:39.880 And we don't talk about them nearly enough.

00:38:41.000 Neil Ferguson, the historian, just pointed out, quote,

00:38:46.000 any great power that spends more on debt service than on defense will not stay great for very long.

00:38:52.040 True of Habsburg Spain, true of the Ancien Régime in France, 0.94

00:38:56.360 true of the Ottoman Empire, true of the British Empire.

00:38:58.500 This law is about to be put to the test by the U.S. beginning this very year.

00:39:03.180 This year, we will spend more just servicing the U.S. national debt than we will spend on defense.

00:39:11.940 This is the first issue that I focused on in politics.

00:39:16.320 When I got involved in politics at a national level, when I was but a wee lad,

00:39:20.500 my first campaign was a congressional campaign.

00:39:22.640 It was focused largely on this issue of debt and spending.

00:39:25.380 And then I worked on some national campaigns that were focused on that issue.

00:39:32.840 We've done nothing about it.

00:39:33.980 The situation has only gotten worse and worse and worse.

00:39:36.780 And sometimes we mock this issue of the debt as a kind of just a policy wonk nerd issue.

00:39:43.560 It's no big deal.

00:39:44.500 But it can have real tangible consequences.

00:39:49.200 The Tea Party was largely about how we need to get our spending under order.

00:39:53.540 There was a really great speech given at CPAC once by Mitch Daniels, who was then the governor of Indiana,

00:39:58.460 saying we have a new red menace, this one consisting of ink.

00:40:01.080 And unfortunately, the issue is kind of a snooze fest for a lot of people, and they don't care.

00:40:04.220 They want to talk about the more cultural issues.

00:40:06.140 And in fact, I can understand why.

00:40:11.380 Because the argument made by people like Mitch Daniels was we need to get our fiscal house in order.

00:40:15.140 Then we can focus on the social issues.

00:40:16.480 But we need a social truce until then.

00:40:18.180 But that's not how politics really works.

00:40:20.100 That's what we learned.

00:40:21.020 Daniels is a super smart guy.

00:40:22.100 He was a great governor.

00:40:22.720 But that's just not how politics works.

00:40:24.160 Actually, debt and the way we spend money and the way we think about money is a social issue.

00:40:32.320 If we don't get the social issues in order, if we don't shore up the American family,

00:40:37.140 if we don't shore up our borders, if we don't shore up community and our sense of our obligations to the country

00:40:42.700 and a turn away from selfish interest and toward the common good,

00:40:45.860 then we're just not going to fix the fiscal problem.

00:40:47.700 We're all just going to keep trying to get money out of the pie.

00:40:50.680 But we have to do something about it.

00:40:55.460 We are very complacent.

00:40:57.160 We really seem to think that the American empire, the American global hegemony is going to go on forever.

00:41:04.760 Lesser empires, lesser nations have, or I'm sorry, rather I should say greater, more splendid looking, magnificent looking empires.

00:41:18.380 You think of the Ancien Regime in France.

00:41:20.680 Have fallen for these kinds of issues.

00:41:23.860 No one's even talking about it.

00:41:25.980 It's off the table.

00:41:27.460 Suggestion of entitlement reform or really any way to get the budget.

00:41:31.220 Neither party is at all interested in it.

00:41:34.400 Maybe because we need to fix the social issues first, then we can talk about it.

00:41:37.240 But clock's ticking.

00:41:38.540 Again, as the nerdy historians point out, nerdy historians are often correct. 0.99

00:41:43.840 Speaking of deceptive accounting, here's a really, this is probably the stupidest article I have read in a very, very long time. 0.98

00:41:51.020 This is from Newsweek. 0.98

00:41:51.920 It says, Texas abortion ban linked to infant deaths rise.

00:41:56.560 There's a study out.

00:41:59.620 It showed, and this is going to prove to all you pro-lifers how terrible it is to ban abortion.

00:42:05.680 Because by banning abortion, they've increased infant mortality.

00:42:09.460 What's the study?

00:42:10.580 Study analyzed almost 95,000 recorded infant deaths in Texas and 28 comparison states between 2021-2022.

00:42:17.000 After accounting for absolute increases in birth rates, it found that the Texas Heartbeat Act was associated with an unexpected increase in infant mortality.

00:42:26.220 They increased, infant deaths increased in one year from 1985 to 2,240.

00:42:31.340 So it's 255 additional deaths.

00:42:33.740 This is higher than other states.

00:42:35.900 What was this caused?

00:42:36.900 By congenital abnormalities, the most common cause of infant mortality.

00:42:40.220 They account for more than one in five infant deaths.

00:42:43.660 Okay, so there you go, 20% of these infant deaths right there, congenital abnormalities.

00:42:48.000 So it's just baked in from the beginning.

00:42:51.880 By banning abortions, this is what Newsweek writes.

00:42:53.960 By banning abortions in cases of non-congenital abnormalities, more babies will likely be born with these conditions.

00:42:58.940 Okay, hold on.

00:43:00.300 I think you probably understood the problem with this headline from the beginning, but here I think it's especially clear.

00:43:05.740 When babies die, when more babies die outside the womb because you have killed fewer babies inside the womb, that does not necessarily represent an increase in infant mortality.

00:43:23.080 What that represents is an exposure of the infant mortality that already exists.

00:43:31.760 All they're doing here is they're just pretending that when a baby dies outside the womb, that's a baby dying.

00:43:37.800 But when a baby is murdered inside the womb, that's not a baby.

00:43:41.980 It's not death.

00:43:43.240 It has nothing to do with death or life or definitely not babies.

00:43:45.640 Just forget about it.

00:43:47.800 No, that's not it.

00:43:49.300 Now, in addition to congenital factors, they say there might also be societal factors behind these increases, including increased socioeconomic and mental stresses associated with unplanned pregnancy.

00:44:00.580 The repercussions of potentially preventable increases in infant mortality are significant, say the researchers.

00:44:05.740 Experiencing an infant death is associated with trauma and potential criminalization, particularly for racialized groups. 0.99

00:44:10.840 Then, I don't know, they go on and say we need to let black people kill more of their babies. 0.99

00:44:13.680 That's the implication. 1.00

00:44:14.900 But notice here what they don't state.

00:44:16.620 They don't talk about the trauma and the sin and crime of murdering your baby in the womb.

00:44:24.220 Forget about that.

00:44:25.020 Well, plenty of women, plenty of women have all sorts of trauma after they kill their babies from abortion, through abortion. 0.58

00:44:31.000 But they don't talk about it.

00:44:32.600 I don't know.

00:44:32.860 Forget about that.

00:44:33.580 No, no.

00:44:33.880 It's awful. 0.93

00:44:34.880 Well, these babies are dying of congenital issues when we could have just murdered them inside the womb. 0.98

00:44:40.140 Well, the babies are still dying, aren't they?

00:44:42.880 The only difference is now we're exposing it.

00:44:45.860 First of all, you're giving the babies a chance at life.

00:44:47.980 You're giving parents the opportunity to love their children, even for some period of time.

00:44:53.240 You're no longer encouraging parents to kill their children, something that will stick with them for the rest of their lives and that is intrinsically evil.

00:45:02.860 You're not necessarily increasing infant mortality.

00:45:05.560 Probably you're not doing that at all.

00:45:06.920 You're exposing it.

00:45:09.560 You're exposing the real infant mortality crisis in the country, which is that we murder a million babies a year.

00:45:14.700 The rest of the show continues now.

00:45:15.960 You do not want to miss it.
