Ep. 1523 - Supreme Court Makes Trump a KING？


Summary

A Supreme Court ruling affirms a longstanding, albeit largely untested legal tradition: that presidents enjoy substantial, though not absolute, legal immunity for actions relating to their official duties in office. So naturally, Democratic congressmen have responded by proposing that President Joe Biden drone strike the court s conservative justices.

00:00:37.580 U.S. Supreme Court ruled 6-3 yesterday to affirm a longstanding, albeit largely untested legal tradition,
00:00:44.440 that presidents enjoy substantial, though not absolute, legal immunity for actions relating to their official duties in office.
00:00:51.420 So naturally, Democrat congressmen have responded by proposing that Biden drone strike the court's conservatives.
00:00:59.840 I guess, you know, theoretically, President Biden, acting within the scope of his official duties,
00:01:07.520 could dispatch the military to take out the conservative justices on the court, and he'd be immune.
00:01:13.820 Democrats have been threatening conservatives on the court with violence for some years now.
00:01:17.740 Back in 2020, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer infamously screamed outside the court, quote,
00:01:23.580 I want to tell you, Gorsuch, I want to tell you, Kavanaugh, you have released the whirlwind and you will pay the price.
00:01:29.240 You won't know what hit you if you go forward with these awful decisions.
00:01:34.420 Since Supreme Court justices are appointed for life, this could not have been a political threat that they wouldn't be reelected or something.
00:01:40.560 It could only have been what it was, a literal threat of violence, which the justices have endured.
00:01:46.780 Justice Kavanaugh was nearly assassinated by a leftist in 2022 after other leftists leaked the Dobbs decision overturning Roe v. Wade.
00:01:54.980 Justice Sam Alito was forced to move out of his house for a time.
00:01:58.040 The threats from the left became so intense.
00:02:00.920 Now, Congressman Zoe Lofgren is suggesting that the court's decision means Biden can and perhaps should murder them all.
00:02:08.000 But that's not what the court ruling says.
00:02:11.440 Not at all.
00:02:12.140 She totally misunderstands it.
00:02:13.740 The ruling, in fact, upholds and develops decades, really centuries, of legal precedent, all to articulate a simple truth.
00:02:22.600 In America, we don't just imprison our former presidents, no matter how desperately Joe Biden and the Democrats want to do it.
00:02:31.300 I'm Michael Knowles.
00:02:32.080 This is The Michael Knowles Show.
00:02:38.000 Welcome back to the show.
00:02:53.000 Yesterday, a very popular liberal streamer, Destiny, argued on a TV show that I also was on at the same time.
00:03:01.080 That's how I saw it on Piers Morgan's show.
00:03:03.140 He said that he would vote for an urn over Donald Trump.
00:03:09.660 And I think there are many Democrats who feel that way.
00:03:12.440 They don't care if Biden is demented.
00:03:14.420 They don't care if he's senile.
00:03:15.800 They would vote for an actual cadaver or a pile of ashes over Donald Trump.
00:03:20.860 We'll get into what that means.

00:04:25.000 What did the Supreme Court say yesterday?
00:04:28.580 According to the Libs, the Supreme Court said that if Joe Biden wants to, he can and perhaps should drone strike the conservatives on the Supreme Court.
00:04:36.180 I don't think that's what the court said.
00:04:38.520 I downloaded the decision to read it almost immediately after it came out.
00:04:44.360 And it's a little lengthy.
00:04:46.240 It's about 119 pages by my count.
00:04:49.140 But the arguments are not particularly difficult to understand.
00:04:53.100 The upshot of this decision is that we don't just throw our presidents and former presidents into prison because we don't like them.
00:05:03.180 The upshot of this decision is that in America, we're not a tinpot dictatorship.
00:05:07.240 We're not a banana republic.
00:05:08.280 Not yet, at least.
00:05:09.320 And so the president has a lot of power, and the Congress doesn't get to take all that power away, and the courts don't get to take all that power away, and the next president doesn't get to take all that power away, and miscreant libs running around the streets don't get to do it either.
00:05:23.380 The case was somewhat novel.
00:05:26.660 So you can't say it's just a total reaffirmation of legal precedent.
00:05:31.520 But the reason you can't say that is because Joe Biden is the first president in American history who's trying to lock up his predecessor and chief rival.
00:05:39.360 So the Democrats brought us to a point.
00:05:42.320 The Democrats did something that was unthinkable in American history, imprisoning your predecessor and top rival.
00:05:48.840 And so now the court has to deal with that.
00:05:51.240 But the way the court dealt with that is very much in keeping with legal precedent.
00:05:55.760 So the court found that the president has absolute immunity for acts within his conclusive and preclusive constitutional authority.
00:06:07.020 So the things that a president does that are clearly laid out in the Constitution, if the president somehow falls afoul of the law while performing those specific acts, he's good.
00:06:22.840 He's got total immunity, okay?
00:06:25.700 The president also has presumptive immunity.
00:06:29.440 So it's not absolute immunity, but it's presumptive immunity for all official acts as president.
00:06:37.020 And the court also found, this is why this is a pretty moderate decision that shouldn't raise any eyebrows anywhere, that the president does not have immunity for unofficial acts.
00:06:46.240 So if the president decides on a Friday night he's going to invite over a bunch of drug dealers and hookers to the White House and they're going to have a giant EDM music pumping, you know, coke-fueled orgy in the East Wing, he does not have immunity for that.
00:07:02.520 That does not, if, to use this example from this lunatic Democrat Congress lady, if the president decides he wants to drone strike some judges on the Supreme Court that he doesn't like, that would not be within his official duties.
00:07:16.360 And so he would not have immunity for that.
00:07:19.080 What's the precedent here?
00:07:20.660 The precedent is, well, there are a lot of precedents that the court cites in the decision.
00:07:24.600 One of which, one that keeps recurring, is Nixon v. Fitzgerald.
00:07:28.340 This is a case from 1982.
00:07:30.700 The court found that the president, quote, is entitled to absolute immunity from damages liability predicated on his official act.
00:07:39.780 So this was a civil case.
00:07:41.260 A guy gets fired by Nixon and sues.
00:07:44.740 And the court finds, no, the president has the right to fire people who work for him.
00:07:51.080 The president has the right to do a lot of things in his official capacity.
00:07:54.560 And Nixon doesn't need to personally pay some schmuck a bunch of money because the guy's upset that while Nixon was president, he did his job and fired this guy from his job.
00:08:06.660 Now, here, obviously, we're talking about a civil liability, not a criminal liability.
00:08:15.200 But that's why I would say this is a development.
00:08:17.340 This is very much in keeping with the tradition that was established in this case.
00:08:21.140 An important reminder, too, by the way, we're talking about 1982.
00:08:23.600 We're talking about the Berger Court.
00:08:25.420 Okay, we're talking about Warren Berger, who was a huge lib.
00:08:31.740 In the sense that his court was probably the most liberal court we've ever had in the history of the United States.
00:08:39.020 And yet, we see this recognition that the president doesn't just go to jail because he jaywalked while he was carrying out his official acts.
00:08:50.260 The other upshot, and this might irritate some of the libertarians, the decision is driving the liberals crazy.
00:08:55.300 And the libertarians and the conservatives are probably basically happy about this because it means that Biden doesn't get to just throw Trump in jail with total ease.
00:09:04.320 You know, it'll be a little trickier for Biden to throw Trump in jail.
00:09:08.100 But the reason some libertarians might not love this decision in principle is it's a decision that beefs up the presidency.
00:09:16.020 Or rather, in my view, properly restores some of the power that is due to the presidency.
00:09:22.460 This decision says that there is a greater threat posed by a weak executive than by an executive that's too strong.
00:09:33.580 And this is very much keeping in the American tradition.
00:09:36.420 This goes back way further than 1982.
00:09:38.900 This goes back to the Marshall Court.
00:09:40.560 Chief Justice John Marshall, who establishes doctrines such as executive privilege, for instance, or recognizes the president doesn't need to just turn over every document that Congress asks for.
00:09:53.380 The president doesn't work for Congress, and the president doesn't work for the judiciary.
00:09:56.840 We have a separation of powers.
00:09:58.240 We have co-equal branches of government.
00:10:00.120 And let's not forget that the executive was not meant to be some wallflower.
00:10:04.200 The executive, the president, is supposed to be the spirited part of government.
00:10:07.620 It's supposed to be vigorous.
00:10:09.420 This is explicitly what the framers of our Constitution called for.
00:10:12.960 You see this throughout the Federalist.
00:10:14.800 You see this in the text of the Constitution itself.
00:10:18.080 And you see this in the very fact that they had to call for a constitutional convention because the initial version of the American Republic, the Articles of Confederation, didn't really have an executive.
00:10:27.340 And it was too weak, and it didn't work.
00:10:29.040 It failed.
00:10:30.540 There is a greater risk.
00:10:31.860 I know this offends a lot of sensibilities, certainly in a liberal age, but in our democratic or egalitarian age, there is a greater risk posed by a president that's too weak than by a president that is too strong.
00:10:45.260 This is a very moderate decision that says the president has his traditional rights, but he can still be liable if he steps way too far out of line.
00:10:53.680 Joe Biden, of course, not understanding this decision, not understanding when people say hello to him in the morning, not understanding which end is up or what his own name is.
00:11:03.620 The president, Joe Biden, has come out and said this court decision makes the president king.
00:11:10.520 Justice Sotomayor's dissent today, she hears what she said.
00:11:14.460 She said, in every use of official power, the president is now a king above the law.
00:11:21.300 With fear for our democracy, I dissent.
00:11:24.960 End of quote.
00:11:26.500 Yes, this decision makes the president into a king above the law.
00:11:31.800 The way you know that's not true is if that were true, Joe Biden would be happy about it.
00:11:35.600 There's so much more to say first, though.
00:11:37.460 Text Knowles to 989898.
00:11:39.780 Saudi Arabia recently ended its 50-year petrodollar deal with the U.S., which has the potential to weaken the U.S. dollar.
00:11:45.580 Since 1974, Saudi Arabia has sold oil solely in U.S. dollars, which was huge for our global economic dominance.
00:11:53.680 If there is less demand for the U.S. dollar, what happens to its value?

00:12:43.640 That is Knowles to 989898.
00:12:47.460 In the president's brief remarks on the Supreme Court decision that was a real blow to his ability to imprison his rival who's currently outpolling him and is likely to take his job,
00:12:59.280 Joe Biden said that he, unlike Trump, he is the sort of president who respects the limits of the office.
00:13:07.280 I know I will respect the limits of the presidential powers I have for three and a half years.
00:13:11.540 Supreme Court blocked me from relieving student debt, but they didn't stop me.
00:13:15.600 Oh, oops.
00:13:17.100 Whoopsie-daisy.
00:13:18.380 That's a little side-by-side.
00:13:19.440 And I think this came from the RNC research.
00:13:23.940 You don't have to go back very far to find this.
00:13:25.960 Joe Biden, I will always respect the limits of my office.
00:13:29.460 And then what did Biden say like five minutes ago?
00:13:32.720 He said, the Supreme Court said that I'm not allowed to forgive student debt with the stroke of a pen.
00:13:38.160 Well, I'm doing it anyway.
00:13:39.100 Screw the court.
00:13:39.760 Screw the Constitution.
00:13:40.580 And Biden has done this again and again.
00:13:43.620 Biden is now trying to do this with executive amnesty.
00:13:46.440 When Biden was the vice president, his president, Barack Obama, big lib, said, hey, I know a lot of you liberals want me to give out an executive amnesty with the stroke of a pen, but that's not how our constitution works.
00:13:58.040 That's not how democracy works.
00:14:00.140 We need to pass laws and respect the rule of law in this country.
00:14:03.680 And then Barack Obama did executive amnesty anyway, and now Joe Biden is putting that executive amnesty on steroids.
00:14:10.740 Joe Biden doesn't respect a thing about the Constitution, and I would be surprised if he had ever really properly read the document.
00:14:17.380 Then at the end of these very brief remarks, what happens?
00:14:20.520 The reporters have questions for him, and Joe Biden, don't forget, he's not a king.
00:14:24.160 He doesn't just make decrees and walk away.
00:14:26.540 He's a president.
00:14:27.560 He's accountable to the people and the intrepid fourth branch of government speaking truth to power.
00:14:32.360 So surely he took the reporters' questions, right?
00:14:35.180 I heard your drama on the race, Mr. President.
00:14:37.740 Why would the Senate president be drunk?
00:14:41.020 What makes you so confident you should be the president?
00:14:45.260 What advice did you say to him?
00:14:48.080 Pretty awkward.
00:14:49.600 You make this speech about how he'll respect the limits of the office, and he's accountable, and he's not better than everyone.
00:14:55.280 And then he refuses to take any questions from reporters, and because he's obviously senile, he walks really slowly.
00:15:03.440 So he turns around, and then you can just hear all these questions.
00:15:05.860 Hey, if you really believe everything you just said, can you answer any of our questions?
00:15:11.720 He just walks right out the door.
00:15:13.260 Most notable about this commentary from the president, this was pointed out by Olivia Nuzzi at New York Magazine.
00:15:21.540 This is a liberal journalist.
00:15:24.240 Biden apparently is wearing bronzer now.
00:15:27.360 So you look at this picture of Biden, and she says, she says, somebody at the White House finally applied bronzer to the president.
00:15:35.100 And you realize he's dressing like Trump.
00:15:38.280 Trump, for how long have the Democrats made fun of Trump's bronzer?
00:15:42.340 He puts foundation on his face, and it makes him look a little bit orange.
00:15:46.480 Joe Biden is now doing the exact same thing.
00:15:49.900 Why? What this signifies to me is that Joe Biden, having exhausted every other method of beating Trump, trying to out-argue him, trying to prosecute him, trying to calumniate him, trying to do this, trying to do that,
00:16:06.420 he's now decided the only way he can maybe even have a shot at beating Trump is to imitate him, to just be like him, to even dress up in the power tie and the orange makeup.
00:16:18.380 If you can't beat him, join him.
00:16:21.800 Let's go.
00:16:22.320 Pretty soon, you're going to see Joe.
00:16:24.460 He's going to start using his hands when he talks.
00:16:26.880 He's going to try to crack jokes.
00:16:28.220 He probably can't do that because he's not very swift anymore.
00:16:30.980 Going to use the word frankly.
00:16:32.300 I can't do an impression of Joe Biden doing an impression of Donald Trump.
00:16:38.220 I'm simply not that talented in show business, but get ready for it.
00:16:43.600 You're already seeing the first step.
00:16:45.020 You can't beat him.
00:16:46.000 Join him.
00:16:46.300 Because the Democrats realize that Trump is winning right now.
00:16:49.860 So even if you hate Donald Trump, you have to realize he's doing something right.
00:16:54.560 He's appealing to some people.
00:16:56.860 Maybe finally now after the Democrats have tried every other option, they might say, huh.
00:17:02.140 Rather than being like Principal Skinner on The Simpsons and saying, hmm, everyone hates me and I keep dropping the poll numbers.
00:17:09.360 No.
00:17:10.220 Surely it's the children who are out of touch.
00:17:12.020 It can't possibly be me, right?
00:17:13.400 Now they're recognizing, huh, well, maybe there's something to what this Trump guy is doing.
00:17:16.400 Okay, so they're going to try to do that.
00:17:18.320 They're going to try to keep Biden on political or maybe even literal life support until the November election.
00:17:25.320 Why?
00:17:26.620 Because what's the alternative?
00:17:29.420 We went through all the options yesterday.
00:17:30.900 The clearest one would be Kamala Harris.
00:17:34.480 She's the vice president.
00:17:35.960 Kamala Harris is trying to boost her electoral bona fides.
00:17:39.920 She just went on BET to shore up specifically the black vote.
00:17:45.860 Don't forget, Donald Trump has made huge inroads with the Hispanic vote.
00:17:50.080 This is according to CNN's chief data analyst.
00:17:52.900 Shows a 20-point swing repeatedly in surveys.
00:17:56.200 There's even a sign, and I know we hear it every election cycle, but CNN at least is talking about it this time.
00:18:02.120 So the liberals seem to be somewhat scared that Trump is making inroads with black voters.
00:18:06.480 So now the White House has sent out Kamala Harris to shore up the black vote.
00:18:11.460 And here's how she did it.
00:18:12.620 No, no, Taraji.
00:18:14.180 Now, you know I wouldn't do that, especially not to a fellow bison.
00:18:17.860 The real H-U, you know.
00:18:20.340 So what's on your mind?
00:18:21.900 Oh, Madam VP Harris, I'm worried about the election.
00:18:26.340 Women's reproductive rights are on the line.
00:18:29.000 Our Supreme Court is on the line.
00:18:30.740 Our basic freedoms are being tested.
00:18:32.960 Madam VP, I know you've been traveling across the country.
00:18:36.500 What are you hearing?
00:18:37.680 Yeah, girl, I'm out here in these streets.
00:18:39.760 And let me tell you, you're right, Taraji.
00:18:41.720 There is so much at stake in this moment.
00:18:44.220 The majority of us believe in freedom and equality.
00:18:48.680 But these extremists, as they say, they not like us.
00:18:52.700 No, they not.
00:18:53.780 There's a full-on attack on our fundamental freedoms.
00:18:56.980 The freedom to vote.
00:18:58.620 Yep.
00:18:58.980 The freedom to love who you love.
00:19:01.040 The freedom to be safe from gun violence.
00:19:03.140 The freedom for a woman to make decisions about her own body, not having her government tell her what to do.
00:19:09.200 You dig?
00:19:10.140 You dig, Taraji?
00:19:11.200 No, listen here, man.
00:19:12.500 You know, me and you, we come from the streets.
00:19:14.660 You understand?
00:19:15.740 Jive Turkey?
00:19:16.460 That's right.
00:19:17.640 We getting cooled down on the back of the neck.
00:19:19.560 You dig, Muffa?
00:19:20.460 Yeah.
00:19:21.040 You know what I mean, man?
00:19:22.240 This exchange between the lady from BET and our half-Indian, I think, what, quarter-Irish, maybe quarter-African-Jamaican vice president exhibited far less fluency in the black colloquial English than the old white lady did in Airplane.
00:19:45.020 Can I get you something?
00:19:48.500 Get your mofo butter laying into the bone, jacking me up, tight me.
00:19:55.820 I'm sorry, I don't understand.
00:19:57.580 Cuddy say can't hang.
00:19:59.080 Oh, it's Jordis.
00:20:00.240 I speak jive.
00:20:01.480 Oh, good.
00:20:02.500 He said that he's in great pain and he wants to know if you can help him.
00:20:07.360 All right.
00:20:07.860 Would you tell him to just relax and I'll be back as soon as I can with some medicine?
00:20:14.540 Just hang loose blood.
00:20:16.000 She's going to catch up on the rebound on the medside.
00:20:18.840 What it is, big mama?
00:20:19.840 My mama doesn't raise no dummies.
00:20:21.200 I duck a rap.
00:20:22.460 Cut me some slack, Jack.
00:20:23.960 It's a cutting.
00:20:24.820 We're coming from.
00:20:25.700 We say be sure to be wrong.
00:20:27.860 Chump don't want to help.
00:20:28.840 Chump don't get to help.
00:20:29.760 Say can't hang.
00:20:30.500 Say seven up.
00:20:31.340 Jive ass dude don't got no brains in there.
00:20:36.360 Chump don't want to help.
00:20:37.660 Chump don't get no help.
00:20:38.720 There's no question about it.
00:20:39.840 And that woman is a much more plausible articulator of the language that we have here in these
00:20:48.100 streets than the vice president is.
00:20:49.940 Really, really embarrassing.
00:20:52.000 And you listen to that for two seconds.
00:20:54.480 It was almost certainly filmed separately, too.
00:20:56.660 So it wasn't even believable as a conversation, much less the ebonics that some hapless staffer
00:21:05.660 convinced Kamala Harris to attempt to articulate.
00:21:12.660 None of it was persuasive at all.
00:21:14.620 No one believes this.
00:21:16.560 This will only turn off not only black voters, but any voter.
00:21:20.500 It's so embarrassing.
00:21:22.080 Joe Biden just went up on stage and basically suffered rigor mortis on national television.
00:21:27.500 And he's somehow less of an embarrassment than Kamala Harris.
00:21:30.680 So you see the Democrats' problem.
00:21:34.400 There's no Democrat ex machina that's going to enter the scene and become the great savior
00:21:41.440 of the party and beat Trump.
00:21:43.980 This is why, publicly at least, Barack Obama, Bill Clinton, Hillary Clinton are all coming
00:21:49.840 out and saying, Biden's the nominee, just throw some orange paint on his face and try
00:21:54.900 to prop him up, give him a slightly better cocktail of drugs.
00:21:58.160 He's the best we've got going into November.
00:22:01.540 There's so much more to say.
00:22:02.500 First, though, go to freedomforschool.com.

00:23:07.460 The other strategy to stop the bleeding, the political bleeding at the White House, all this
00:23:12.820 support leaving Biden, is typical leaks.
00:23:16.900 And the leaks are supposed to convey that Biden is actually really engaged.
00:23:22.300 He's really in a, yeah, you had a bad debate night, but no, he is in charge.
00:23:26.820 It's not Jill.
00:23:28.460 It's not Barack Obama.
00:23:29.840 It's not the deep state.
00:23:31.480 It's Joe Biden is the executive.
00:23:32.920 The buck stops with him.
00:23:33.800 That's why they've leaked to Axios that Biden is dependably engaged in official presidential
00:23:42.100 duties the whole time between the hours of 10 a.m. and 4 p.m.
00:23:48.540 10 a.m. and 4 p.m.
00:23:49.720 I think I read that right.
00:23:52.120 I'm just reading straight from Axios now.
00:23:54.080 This is a relatively liberal outlet.
00:23:56.660 White House aides have reportedly claimed that Joe Biden is only dependably engaged during
00:23:59.880 a six-hour window span, several aides have reportedly, quote, seen flashes of an absent-minded
00:24:06.100 Biden during certain instances, while also seeing Biden appear engaged during other instances.
00:24:12.240 Stores that keep those hours, 10 to 4, go out of business.
00:24:16.940 Like a local mom and pop in your neighborhood, if they only keep 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., they're
00:24:23.760 very likely going to go out of business.
00:24:25.960 Well, those are the hours that the president of the United States is currently keeping.
00:24:28.860 During which he's sometimes absent-minded and demented even within those hours, but other
00:24:33.840 times he's engaged.
00:24:35.640 And that is why our country is going out of business.
00:24:39.020 That is one of the reasons that our country is going out of business.
00:24:41.740 And even worse defense than the one we're seeing from the White House.
00:24:44.480 Oh, no, don't worry.
00:24:45.200 He works from 10 to 4.
00:24:47.000 He's mostly lucid for six hours a day.
00:24:50.220 And even worse defense comes from California Congressman Ro Khanna, who says, no, no, no,
00:24:55.480 you don't understand.
00:24:56.580 Yeah, the debate was bad, but don't worry.
00:25:00.260 He just has sundowners.
00:25:02.420 I mean, obviously, the president didn't have a good night, but he admitted that.
00:25:07.360 And he said, look, I'm old.
00:25:09.120 I don't know what his advisors were thinking having a 9 p.m.
00:25:12.500 debate.
00:25:13.000 There are probably not many people who are in their 70s and 80s around him, but he does
00:25:16.480 much better in the day.
00:25:17.920 He was at a rally today and he was honest.
00:25:20.300 If you've ever had a grandparent who is getting a little old and maybe is even showing early
00:25:27.700 signs of dementia, you'll know that one sign is something called sundowners, which is just
00:25:33.180 at the end of the day, they get a little bit less lucid.
00:25:36.060 And as dementia progresses, it gets a lot worse.
00:25:40.200 You start to look slack-jawed and you start to look vacant and you can't form a coherent
00:25:44.260 sentence.
00:25:44.720 And you start to see all the stuff that we saw at Joe Biden exhibit during that debate
00:25:48.300 with Trump.
00:25:50.380 The official Democrat defense now from not just some wacky lib on cable, but well, he
00:25:58.000 is a wacky lib on cable, but he's not just that.
00:25:59.720 He is a Democrat member of Congress.
00:26:02.400 The official defense is, hey, give him a break.
00:26:06.300 He has dementia.
00:26:09.020 That's what you're hearing.
00:26:11.700 That's the best they've got.
00:26:12.840 Even Joe Biden's kind of admitting that now that he acknowledges, no, the reason he's
00:26:17.740 slipping up in public is not because of a childhood stutter that magically reappeared
00:26:20.780 47 years into his political career.
00:26:23.240 No, it's, he says, I can't, I can't talk as well and I can't debate as well anymore because
00:26:27.820 he has dementia because he's senile.
00:26:30.180 That's why this is not working to quell fears in the Democrat party.
00:26:34.500 That is why a legendary Democrat strategist, James Carville, talk about speaking incomprehensible
00:26:42.780 dialects of American English.
00:26:44.640 James Carville comes out and he says the Democrats are totally blowing this.
00:26:48.560 They just need to give the people what they want.
00:26:50.400 James, can President Biden win re-election this November?
00:26:55.280 It doesn't, that's not the real question here.
00:26:57.660 The real question here is we have a Supreme Court that's bought and paid for by RVs and
00:27:02.220 Fish and Lies.
00:27:03.480 We have a country that 72% want something different.
00:27:08.140 If the Democratic party can't produce something different that 72% people want, then why do
00:27:13.720 we exist?
00:27:14.740 What are we here for?
00:27:16.480 I mean, the country is clamoring for change.
00:27:20.620 And what are we going to offer them?
00:27:22.400 The same stuff?
00:27:23.620 It doesn't make any sense, Jake.
00:27:27.060 Give the people what they want.
00:27:28.780 Vox Populi, that they want something different.
00:27:32.720 Let's give it to them.
00:27:34.560 I mean, I just don't get the whole thing.
00:27:37.040 I'll be honest with you.
00:27:38.980 I'm not even going to do my James Carville voice to mock what he just said, because what
00:27:44.200 he said is perfectly reasonable.
00:27:47.160 I don't know about the Vox Populi kind of stuff, you know, because the second part of
00:27:51.960 that quote, Vox Populi is Vox Populi Vox Dei, and the voice of the people is the voice
00:27:55.460 of God, I don't really believe that, but the Democrats often have believed that.
00:28:01.180 At least James Carville thought the Democrats believed that.
00:28:03.340 They've said that sort of thing a lot, but they obviously don't believe that because they
00:28:08.060 refuse to give the people what they want.
00:28:10.500 So what are the Democrats here for?
00:28:12.980 Well, I've got an answer for James Carville.
00:28:15.980 The Democrats are here right now precisely not to give the people what they want.
00:28:20.840 That's the problem.
00:28:23.000 That's why they're not going to give the people what they want.
00:28:25.700 That's why James Carville is going to keep beating his head against the wall, because
00:28:30.860 they're not going to give the people what they want, because their purpose right now is
00:28:34.020 not to give the people what they want, because the Democratic Party exists to advance liberalism.
00:28:38.880 That hasn't always been the case.
00:28:40.680 The Democrat Party is a very old political party, but for most of the 20th century, now
00:28:45.520 into the 21st century, the purpose of the party has been to advance liberalism, and the
00:28:50.960 people don't want liberalism right now.
00:28:53.700 The people don't want all the manifestations of liberalism.
00:28:56.520 The people don't want open borders.
00:28:59.060 The people don't want LGBT, LMNOP propaganda being shoved down their throats and down their
00:29:05.040 children's throats.
00:29:06.100 The people don't want endless wars for this global empire.
00:29:10.560 The people don't want globalism broadly.
00:29:12.360 They don't want to have all their jobs shipped overseas.
00:29:15.700 They don't want American manufacturing to collapse.
00:29:19.400 They don't want what liberalism is offering.
00:29:24.020 But the Democrats exist.
00:29:26.100 The raison d'etre of the Democrats is to advance liberalism.
00:29:30.180 So you got to choose between liberalism and the people.
00:29:33.060 You're going to pick liberalism if you're a Democrat, and you're just going to grit your
00:29:36.040 teeth and hope you can ram it through.
00:29:38.500 And maybe they'll be lucky, and then like they did in 2020, maybe they can just lock
00:29:43.720 all the people down and stop the people from doing what they want to do and change all the
00:29:47.900 voting rules, in some cases, unconstitutionally.
00:29:51.400 And maybe they can just jumble everything up enough that they can keep their cadaver in the
00:29:57.480 Oval Office, even though the vast majority of Americans don't think that he's up to the
00:30:01.280 job.
00:30:01.560 That's their only option, because if they took James Carville's advice and they gave
00:30:07.820 the people what they wanted, the Democrats would become the Republican Party on major
00:30:12.300 issues.
00:30:12.960 Yes, the majority of people still disagree with Republicans on certain things.
00:30:18.060 But when you look at those really important issues at the top of the list, the top priorities
00:30:21.560 for everyone going into 2024, things like immigration, things like the economy, things even foreign
00:30:27.460 policy is playing a bigger role this year because Joe Biden has screwed it up so badly that we
00:30:32.000 feel like we're on the brink of World War III.
00:30:34.140 On those issues, if the Dems give the people what they want, they would just become Republicans.
00:30:39.860 They can't do that.
00:30:41.520 That's why it's not going to work, and it's why Carville's going to continue to be angry
00:30:44.140 throughout the rest of the campaign.
00:30:47.680 Don't take my word for it.
00:30:49.100 Look at the predictions, even of the liberal pollsters, including Nate Silver, who's probably
00:30:54.520 the most reliable presidential pollster and prognosticator around today.
00:31:00.560 I read his model last week, which showed that Trump had something like a 65% electoral college
00:31:07.600 chance, and Biden had something like a 35% chance of winning in the electoral college.
00:31:12.240 So that was shocking in itself, that Nate Silver, who has accurately predicted, or more accurately
00:31:17.880 than others, predicted all sorts of races since 2008 when he really came onto the scene.
00:31:22.760 He's saying, yeah, this is Trump's election to lose.
00:31:25.480 But even then, even a week ago, Trump still would have lost the popular vote.
00:31:31.040 So Nate Silver still gave Biden an edge.
00:31:33.740 I think it was 51-49 or somewhere thereabouts to win the popular vote because Democrats have
00:31:38.600 these states that are extremely populous, like California and New York.
00:31:42.680 Now that's changed.
00:31:43.780 Now, according to Nate Silver's predictions, Biden's electoral college probability has dropped
00:31:49.080 even further, now down to 31%.
00:31:51.040 Trump's has boosted up even further, now to 68.4%.
00:31:54.300 And then Silver gives the popular vote edge to Trump.
00:32:00.120 He says Biden has a 46.2% chance of winning the popular vote.
00:32:04.160 Trump has a 53.8% chance.
00:32:06.180 The popular vote does not officially matter at all in the presidential race.
00:32:09.740 We don't elect our presidents by popular vote, but Republicans have had a hard time winning
00:32:14.200 the popular vote since the year 2000.
00:32:16.820 If Trump, if Trump of all people, who we were told is the mango Mussolini, the Trump, who
00:32:21.920 we were told is the grave threat to our sacred democracy, if the majority of people, not just
00:32:28.900 the majority of states in the electoral college, but if the majority of people voted for Trump,
00:32:34.140 the libs would still keep it up and they'd say it was still a great threat to democracy,
00:32:37.920 but it would be even harder for them to make that argument.
00:32:40.840 Because democracy is what most people want.
00:32:43.460 And if most people want Trump, that is just a literal expression of the democracy.
00:32:50.660 Vox Populi, Vox Dei, I guess, make James Carville even angrier.
00:32:54.840 Some people cannot be convinced, including a very popular liberal streamer who goes by the
00:32:59.240 name of Destiny.
00:33:00.340 I was on with Destiny yesterday and a few other people, Tommy Lauren, a number of other people
00:33:05.880 on Piers Morgan's show.
00:33:08.880 And I thought Destiny was making a lot of pretty reasonable points, actually.
00:33:14.520 He, unlike a number of Democrats now, was saying, look, we should stick with Biden because,
00:33:18.880 well, he was saying exactly what I was saying on this, which is that there's nothing better.
00:33:21.760 It's not that Biden's a good candidate, but there's just no way.
00:33:24.460 When you consider incumbency, when you consider Biden's name recognition, when you consider the
00:33:28.660 fact that the backbench is absolutely terrible, when you consider how late in the game it is,
00:33:31.900 he was saying, I'll vote for Biden.
00:33:34.180 I don't care how demented he is.
00:33:35.520 He went even further, though.
00:33:36.580 Destiny said, I would vote for an urn.
00:33:40.280 Forget about a demented guy or a cadaver.
00:33:42.260 I would vote for an urn filled with ashes over Donald Trump.
00:33:45.660 And Piers was really shocked by this.
00:33:47.360 But I kind of get it.
00:33:49.160 I get it.
00:33:50.040 What Destiny is really saying there, albeit in a provocative way, is the president doesn't
00:33:55.820 really matter.
00:33:56.780 What Destiny is saying is something liberals have been saying for about 100 years, which
00:34:00.920 is the job of the president is too big for any one man.
00:34:05.060 And the man doesn't really matter.
00:34:06.760 Woodrow Wilson can have a stroke and be incapacitated.
00:34:09.480 And it doesn't really matter because he'll just, the government will just keep on running.
00:34:15.200 In that case, it was actually Wilson's wife who was largely running the government, just
00:34:18.860 as some people are suggesting right now.
00:34:20.360 Jill Biden, who is controlling access to her husband, maybe has a little undue influence.
00:34:25.040 Because regardless, I get the argument.
00:34:27.480 Liberals have made it for a long time.
00:34:28.500 The government's run by committee.
00:34:29.660 The government's run by the staff.
00:34:30.880 The president doesn't really matter.
00:34:32.480 That argument would be more persuasive if everything weren't falling apart right now.
00:34:39.340 That argument would be more persuasive if we hadn't just seen Trump.
00:34:42.980 Trump was in office, and we had peace in the Middle East, relatively.
00:34:48.100 We had the Abraham Accords were signed.
00:34:50.060 We had no new wars, no new major wars popping off.
00:34:54.040 We had a diminishment of American involvement in these wars and American vulnerability.
00:34:59.400 We had the first presidency in 20 years, 20 plus years, where, under whose watch, Vladimir
00:35:07.520 Putin didn't take more land.
00:35:09.180 Under George Bush, Putin invades Georgia.
00:35:11.320 Under Obama, Putin invades Crimea.
00:35:13.440 Under Donald Trump, Putin just kind of chills.
00:35:15.540 Under Joe Biden, Putin further invades into Ukraine.
00:35:18.540 Things were pretty good.
00:35:22.660 And so, how do you explain that?
00:35:25.240 It's all the same State Department apparatchiks.
00:35:27.680 The appointed people have changed.
00:35:28.980 But, you know, if you really believe, well, the deep state and the cogs of government just
00:35:32.000 kind of keep on turning.
00:35:33.200 Okay, well, why aren't they turning as well anymore?
00:35:34.920 The president still does matter, to some degree.
00:35:41.540 And so, if you vote for an urn, as Democrats kind of did in 2020, no surprise that the country
00:35:49.540 is going to be dying.
00:35:51.740 Anxious about choosing between a fixed or variable rate mortgage, we can help request
00:35:58.140 a calming call with TD Mortgage Direct and say hello to good advice.

00:36:43.720 My favorite comment yesterday is from Andy Hoke, who says,
00:36:47.300 anyone surprised if Biden's debate performance needs all new sources of information.
00:36:50.840 This is an important point, and I've heard some other people say it, but it cannot be
00:36:54.700 overstated.
00:36:57.200 I was somewhat surprised at Biden's debate performance because he was notably worse than
00:37:04.260 he had been at the State of the Union.
00:37:05.580 He was notably worse than he'd been at other debates.
00:37:08.800 But I'm not surprised that Biden has dementia.
00:37:10.840 I'm not surprised that he's senile.
00:37:12.100 I'm not surprised that he has sundowners.
00:37:13.800 I'm not surprised by any of that because I've been paying attention to Biden over the years.
00:37:19.400 The liberals who were really caught by surprise here, not just by the degree of Biden's decline,
00:37:26.600 but by the fact that he's declined at all, the liberals who really believed that he just
00:37:32.200 had a new expression of a childhood stutter, and that's why he seemed a little off, those
00:37:38.160 guys are consuming North Korean levels of state propaganda all the time.
00:37:43.800 Those people have no idea what is going on in the country because that means that the
00:37:49.780 only news media that you are paying any attention to is the official curated line of Joe Biden
00:37:58.240 and the Democrat Party.
00:38:00.000 That is a signal, not just that something is wrong in the country and that something is
00:38:03.440 wrong in the party.
00:38:03.920 There's something, it's a signal that something is very, very wrong about your relation to
00:38:09.320 what's going on, your relation to politics.
00:38:13.260 Maybe time to start tuning into some other shows.
00:38:14.960 Maybe the Michael Knowles show.
00:38:15.780 That's not a bad idea.
00:38:18.180 Speaking of law enforcement, our chief law enforcement officer, I guess, you know, the head of the executive
00:38:23.860 branch would be the president.
00:38:24.780 Let's get a little bit more local.
00:38:25.740 Well, down in Florida, police have arrested an 18-year-old teenager, Christian Meyer, on
00:38:33.060 charges of felony criminal mischief.
00:38:36.340 What did he do?
00:38:38.400 He did donuts on a pride mural that was painted into the middle of the road.
00:38:43.780 That's what he did.
00:38:44.740 And now this kid is being charged with a felony at age 18 for putting some skid marks onto
00:38:53.400 a giant pride symbol that is, for some reason, painted into the middle of the road.
00:39:00.480 Okay.
00:39:01.480 Pride month goes on.
00:39:02.500 It's July 2nd.
00:39:03.260 Pride month continues.
00:39:06.660 This kid made a huge mistake.
00:39:08.740 This kid, I think we can all acknowledge this kid made a huge mistake.
00:39:11.000 Like, had this kid decided to get a really big American flag and then put it in the middle
00:39:16.180 of the street and drive all over it and then set it on fire, potentially endangering the
00:39:20.580 buildings around him, you know, I know it'd be like arson and everything, but if he had
00:39:24.180 done that to an American flag, the old red, white, and blue, not only would he not have
00:39:28.940 been arrested and charged for the felony, he would be hailed as a hero and probably given
00:39:32.720 some awards.
00:39:34.200 He would, at the very least, be lauded on cable news and left-wing podcasts.
00:39:39.340 But the mistake he made was instead of just burning and desecrating the American flag in
00:39:44.620 the middle of the street, even with fire, he decided to drive his car over the liberal
00:39:50.040 symbol that had been painted into the middle of the road.
00:39:52.260 And that's a big no-no.
00:39:53.460 You can't do that.
00:39:54.100 You have to worship the rainbow flag, which stands for pride, pride the queen of all vice
00:40:00.660 and the deadliest of the seven deadly sins, and which further signifies weird sex stuff.
00:40:05.800 You have to worship weird and aberrant sexual behavior, or else you're going to be charged
00:40:11.400 with a felony in the United States at the age of 18 for driving your car in the road.
00:40:18.360 I understand that what he did could potentially be construed as some kind of crime.
00:40:24.500 I guess.
00:40:25.440 I guess it's a crime to do donuts.
00:40:28.160 I don't think it was a felony.
00:40:29.360 It seems like it's a little bit trumped up, those charges.
00:40:31.400 But sure, I guess doing donuts in the middle of the road is probably not totally legal.
00:40:36.980 So sure, okay, I guess he did something wrong.
00:40:40.560 This kid should receive a full and immediate pardon.
00:40:46.380 And happily, this is Florida.
00:40:48.040 Governor Ron DeSantis, who's great on these issues.
00:40:50.900 Let's not forget Governor DeSantis, a national leader on issues such as this.
00:40:56.100 Governor DeSantis, I believe, could just pardon this kid.
00:41:00.040 And he should.
00:41:02.260 It's not to say that now people can just do donuts wherever they want in the road.
00:41:08.340 They can't.
00:41:09.280 And we don't want to establish that principle.
00:41:10.760 We don't want people driving like maniacs and doing donuts and everything.
00:41:14.120 But the pardon power exists for a reason.
00:41:17.260 And the punishment that is being inflicted on this young man is obviously excessive.
00:41:22.340 The political protest that this kid was making is not only the sort of thing that were he protesting something like the American flag the liberals would hail as the essence of the First Amendment and his rights to peacefully protest.
00:41:37.420 But he's actually protesting something worth protesting.
00:41:41.640 And he's actually standing up for something that's good and worth standing up for, namely proper sexual ethics and normal behaviors and the traditional American way of life.
00:41:50.880 And he's opposing a movement that seeks to castrate and sexually abuse little children by scandalizing them and convincing them that they're the opposite sex and putting them into all sorts of bad behaviors and habits.
00:42:06.260 And very likely shortening their lives even when you just statistically kind of look at how those stories turn out when people go down the LGBT LMNOP rabbit hole.
00:42:16.840 This kid's standing up for something good.
00:42:18.640 And the pardon power exists for a reason.
00:42:20.780 But the pardon power is not contrary to justice.
00:42:23.840 It is a perfection of justice.
00:42:26.360 Because we recognize that there is an important role in society for justice.
00:42:30.440 But there's also an important role for mercy.
00:42:32.400 And there's an important role for the dead letter of the law lying on paper.
00:42:35.760 And there's an important role for the thematic and spirited executive to enforce and apply those laws, as well as a role for the judiciary and the legislature, which I guess is the broad topic today.
00:42:46.800 Since we're talking about presidential immunity and the separation of powers and co-equal branches of government, this would be a great opportunity for the governor of Florida to say, hey, you're good.
00:42:59.520 Full pardon, you're good.
00:43:01.660 This kid deserves it.
00:43:03.600 Now, speaking of kids, there's a story that's near and dear to the hearts of many of us at The Daily Wire, especially right now.
00:43:11.220 And that would be the foster system.
00:43:12.480 You know, Daily Wire has partnered up with Angel Studios for this movie Sound of Hope, which you can get your tickets for.
00:43:18.400 It's the 4th of July.
00:43:19.480 Great opportunity to go see it.
00:43:20.740 You can go to angel.com slash Michael for it.
00:43:22.460 But Biden's Health and Human Services Department has come out and said that foster kids can only go to families that are willing to scandalize and traumatize the children.
00:43:36.660 Because Biden's HHS has said that foster kids can only go to families who are on board with the LGBT LMNOP nonsense.
00:43:47.780 And they can only go to families that believe in transgenderism and that will call the kids by the wrong pronouns.
00:43:54.780 You know, a little young man is confused and thinks he's a woman that the parents have to pretend that he's a woman and maybe even put him on the path to doing the transgender transition.
00:44:04.880 Really, really awful stuff.
00:44:06.020 Which means that what Biden is saying is if you're a Christian, you can't adopt foster kids.
00:44:13.200 If you're a Christian who believes in anything even resembling Christian orthodoxy, certainly if you're a Catholic, if you're Eastern Orthodox, if you adhere to any kind of traditional, more traditional Protestant denominations, you just can't adopt out of the foster system anymore.
00:44:28.860 Jews, Orthodox Jews, sorry, you're out of luck.
00:44:31.500 Muslims who take their religion seriously, nah, you're probably out of luck too.
00:44:36.580 Only radical leftists willing to traumatize and scandalize kids.
00:44:40.060 They're the only ones who can adopt out of the foster system.
00:44:42.640 Now, this rule is not scheduled to take effect until 2026.
00:44:46.960 DW just did a poll on this.
00:44:48.540 You'll be shocked to hear most people don't agree with this rule.
00:44:51.400 They think it's really bad.
00:44:56.000 This would be one of the reasons I think that Democrats and Biden are having such a hard time in this election cycle.
00:45:02.500 But a majority of American voters believe the foster care system is in significant need of reform.
00:45:08.340 Over two-thirds of American voters believe it is a benefit for a foster child to be adopted by a faith-based family.
00:45:15.380 Not only is it not a negative, it's actually a great positive.
00:45:18.960 The family that prays together stays together.
00:45:21.280 It's become cliche, but it's become cliche because it's true.
00:45:24.300 The majority of Americans believe it is more beneficial for a foster child to be adopted by a family that believes in traditional gender norms.
00:45:32.080 Go down the list.
00:45:32.780 It's all the sort of stuff you would expect.
00:45:36.260 But there's a major, major attack on that right now.
00:45:39.580 And that is why the timing of Sound of Hope is actually rather providential, I suppose.
00:45:44.640 So if you want to go see the movie, go check it out, angel.com slash Michael, M-I-C-H-A-E-L.
00:45:50.220 And let's hope that we get a new president.
00:45:52.160 Let's hope and work toward a new president coming about long before that HHS rule is to come into effect.
00:46:00.600 Because on the list of the 300 things that Trump is going to have to do on day one, that might have to be on the list.
00:46:07.560 There's going to be a lot of other stuff, but that one's going to have to be there too.
00:46:10.880 There's a lot of madness to undo from even just these three years of a Biden presidency.
00:46:18.020 Today is Trans Tuesday.
00:46:20.160 Hey, so what did you want to talk about?

00:46:31.260 No, just ask your doctor.
00:46:33.500 About Wagovi?
00:46:34.980 Yeah, ask for it by name.
00:46:36.620 Okay, so why did you bring me to this circus?
