00:00:00.000
President Trump made an explosive new claim about Democrat VP contender Tim Walls at a
00:00:05.300
rally over the weekend. Trump claimed that as governor, Walls changed state law to go soft
00:00:12.320
on pedophiles. And he signed a bill allowing pedophiles to claim human rights protections
00:00:18.120
under the state law. I immediately looked this up. That sounded so crazy. Not that I doubt Trump,
00:00:28.000
but it sounded so crazy. I had to look it up. And of course, the prominent fact checking outlets said
00:00:33.460
that that claim is completely false. Right here. Tim Walls signed law protecting pedophiles from
00:00:38.840
discrimination. False. And there's a big red X there. However, when you actually read the article,
00:00:47.360
not just the headline and the big false and the 10,000 Pinocchios, you actually read the articles.
00:00:51.120
The reality seems to undermine the fact check verdict. Even Snopes, that's the first one I
00:00:57.920
looked at. Snopes admits that before Walls signed the Take Pride Act to amend Minnesota civil rights
00:01:04.780
law, this is how the law read. Sexual orientation means having or being perceived as having an
00:01:10.580
emotional, physical, or sexual attachment to another person without regard to the sex of that person or
00:01:14.420
having or being perceived as having an orientation for such attachment or having or being perceived as
00:01:49.060
Period. That's it. And end of the section. You notice anything missing?
00:01:57.140
Walls, Tim Walls, Kamala's VP contender, specifically took out the line stating that
00:02:04.140
sexual orientation does not include pedophilia. The fact checkers are able to say that Trump's
00:02:10.080
claim is false because they can say that child abuse is illegal under different laws.
00:02:13.940
But that doesn't explain why Tim Walls would intentionally remove a line excluding pedophiles
00:02:20.800
from protection. That's really weird. Add on to that Walls' declaration as governor that Minnesota
00:02:28.640
should be a refuge and sanctuary for trans kids. Kids, maybe they're arguing with their parents.
00:02:35.660
Their parents don't think a boy can become a girl. Well, come here. Come to Minnesota, kids.
00:02:39.060
We're a refuge for you. Add on to that Walls' obsession with putting tampons in fourth grade boys' bathrooms.
00:02:46.200
Add on to that Walls' founding a club in 1999 when he was a high school teacher
00:02:51.140
specifically to talk to young kids. We're talking about 14-year-old kids
00:02:55.580
about aberrant sexual behaviors. A club designed to encourage those behaviors.
00:03:00.720
It's weird. I'm not making any accusations about Tim Walls.
00:03:08.220
I'm not taking anything out of context either. The media, obviously, are trying to deny it.
00:03:13.980
But it is incontrovertible that the Democrats' vice presidential candidate
00:03:18.180
has a 25-year history of persistently pushing weird sex stuff on kids.
00:03:24.280
And all I'm saying is that it's really, really weird.
00:03:30.700
I'm Michael Knowles. This is The Michael Knowles Show.
00:03:32.540
There's a new trend. The trend is when you take a flight, you don't watch anything. You don't read
00:03:58.740
anything. You don't sleep. You don't eat. You don't drink. You just sit and stare directly ahead.
00:04:04.760
The only thing you can watch is the flight screen where you watch the plane go over.
00:04:09.000
You could do that for seven hours, 10 hours, 14 hours.
00:04:14.040
We'll get into the political meaning of this strange trend first, though.
00:04:19.160
Cherish the blend of old traditions and new beginnings with Mayflower cigars.
00:04:23.720
When it comes to weddings, Mayflower offers the finest way to savor life's finest moments.
00:04:29.820
Whether you're looking for the perfect groomsman gift, good bachelor party treat,
00:04:34.820
a special present for the father of the bride or groom, just a way to relax after the ceremony,
00:04:39.820
Mayflower Dawn and Mayflower Dusk deliver, as we found out when the lovely Markella from this very show
00:04:48.440
Picture this, a late night reception indulgence with the glow of a Mayflower cigar, creating memories
00:04:54.120
that linger as long as the rich aroma of our expertly crafted blends.
00:04:58.580
Are you traveling for the event? You need the Mayflower Cigars Travel Humidor,
00:05:01.880
which I would be holding up right now, except I took it with me to Wilmington,
00:05:04.920
Delaware when I spoke about Dante at the ISI honors program, so it's still in my suitcase.
00:05:12.220
The Travel Humidor ensures that your cigars arrive just as perfect as the day you bought them,
00:05:16.160
safely transport your Mayflowers in style, no matter where the celebration takes you.
00:05:20.720
Elevate your toast with Mayflower's finest, mayflowercigars.com to order today.
00:05:24.900
Hurry, these blends are in high demand. They won't last long. We do sell out pretty frequently,
00:05:30.160
especially of the accessories, the cutters and the humidors and all the rest.
00:05:35.000
You must be 21 years older, older to order. Some exclusions apply.
00:05:39.380
Now, on the one hand, the Tim Wall's weird sex stuff is really disturbing and weird.
00:05:50.340
You know, I guess that's the word that's come to typify this election campaign.
00:05:54.260
On the other hand, it's totally to be expected. A video went viral, I think this is from Tenant
00:05:58.360
Media over the weekend of some Harris Wall's supporters. Listen to the kind of person who's
00:06:13.200
I don't want to lose my rights. Like, I'm a trans man and I'm gay and I have been pregnant and I've
00:06:19.580
had an abortion before and I don't want to lose that. I'm afraid of not being able to be myself
00:06:24.220
anymore because, from what I've heard, Trump's America doesn't want me to look like this.
00:06:28.460
So, that's why I'm here today and that's why I'm voting blue.
00:06:33.060
I've also been pregnant and had an abortion before. I was a minor and it would have been
00:06:36.920
dangerous for me to properly, like, it would have been dangerous for me to carry a baby with,
00:06:42.000
like, personal reasons and everything. I also, like, I'm very, you know,
00:06:49.920
Alternative. And I feel like if Trump were to win, I wouldn't be able to, like, express myself
00:06:54.720
through my looks and everything and wouldn't be able to have the Persians or the dyed hair or the
00:06:58.820
tattoos that I want. You know, I would be able to be myself. And my dad's very pro-Trump and I'm
00:07:08.980
Okay. For those of you who were just listening, the girl on the right, the first girl to speak,
00:07:14.160
is dressed up, I guess, kind of like a boy, sort of, you know, like a goth kid in high school.
00:07:19.920
And then the one on the left is, has a bunch of piercings and tattoos and is wearing a dog
00:07:25.800
collar with spikes around her neck and a kind of a leather crop top thing. And then, of course,
00:07:33.140
the first one says, I'm a trans man who is gay, who is pregnant, who had an abortion.
00:07:38.480
And the other one says, yeah, who looks more like a girl, but, and, and acknowledges being a girl,
00:07:44.720
says, I, I too, I was pregnant, had an abortion. I was knocked up as a minor. Okay.
00:07:54.000
Yes, this is exactly what you expect a Harris Wall supporter to be. But my, my first reaction to a
00:08:01.380
clip like this is, these are deeply traumatized people. Even you hear at the end, the, the
00:08:10.060
summation of all liberalism, which is, yeah, I hate my dad, you know, or I have a, I have a problem
00:08:16.020
with my dad, or I have deep disagreements with my dad, or, you know, a friend of mine once said
00:08:19.540
seven years ago that all of liberalism boils down to screw you dad. And I think that's pretty much the
00:08:25.840
most concise description of it I've ever heard. These are really traumatized people. So they've,
00:08:34.140
they're traumatized, obviously, because they've committed a horrible, horrible crime, which is
00:08:39.260
that they killed their children. Both of those people killed their children. And no matter how
00:08:44.760
much one shouts one's abortion, no matter how many pride parades one goes to, that people have a moral
00:08:50.920
conscience and the natural laws inscribed on every human heart. So that eats away at people. I know a
00:08:55.200
number of women who have had abortions and they're 100% of them are, are traumatized as a result of
00:09:01.200
it. Whether they, some admit it, some don't admit it, but, but it's just a fact. So on top of that,
00:09:09.720
then this, the one girl, the second girl to speak was obviously doing a bunch of sex stuff as a kid.
00:09:16.320
That's not good. And obviously wasn't supported by her family or by her boyfriend or whatever,
00:09:22.740
however, she came to become pregnant. Uh, the first one obviously has all sorts of disordered
00:09:28.660
appetites and desires and behaviors. And these are traumatized people. Okay.
00:09:36.240
So what this shows you is actually that the feminists are right about one thing.
00:09:41.900
When the feminists said in the seventies, the personal is the political. They're 100% correct.
00:09:46.160
Personal sin becomes a political problem because man is the political animal. So even our most
00:09:54.940
private sins, no matter how private we think they are, you know, we do some drug in our,
00:09:59.700
our own home. Well, maybe when you do that drug, maybe you get in a car and you, you get into an
00:10:04.200
accident. Maybe when you do that drug, at the very least, you'd say you're not as productive a member
00:10:07.780
of society. Maybe you do that drug and you end up dead and then people have to deal with that.
00:10:11.800
And this creates trauma throughout a family, throughout a whole community, puts strain on
00:10:16.900
the healthcare system. Even there's no, there's no such thing as purely personal sin because sin
00:10:23.820
has temporal effects always, all the time. And in this case, all the, the, the real political problem
00:10:32.420
is that it all compounds on itself. So we live in a society that says abortion is really good.
00:10:39.980
And then girls go out and sometimes they're convinced abortion really is good. And they
00:10:44.540
feel desperate and they use that as an excuse and they have abortions. And then they're traumatized
00:10:48.260
by this. So they can either admit that they've committed a murder or that, or they can say,
00:10:52.940
no, I didn't. And they can suppress all of their moral intuitions and say, no, no, no,
00:10:58.480
we need more abortion. Actually, the only way we need to normalize this, this has to be good.
00:11:01.920
And you get more abortion. Uh, the same thing with all, obviously all these sorts of deviant
00:11:06.940
behaviors, the alternative, uh, styles and living, uh, it, one can either acknowledge that one is doing
00:11:15.860
something that is not conducive to human flourishing, or one has to double down on,
00:11:20.320
on the aberrant behaviors. And when one doubles down, it becomes an even greater political problem.
00:11:24.940
Um, of course, in order for those girls to vote for Donald Trump, they would have to admit that,
00:11:31.960
that they've been led astray, that they've done something wrong, that they've probably done a
00:11:36.700
number of things wrong and that they have to change their behavior. And it's very difficult
00:11:40.320
to change one's behavior. It's very difficult to change one's appetites and desires because we're
00:11:44.560
creatures of habit. And, and, uh, in the language of modern science, you'd say we create these
00:11:50.300
hardened mental pathways and it's very difficult to break those things. It's sort of like addictions.
00:11:54.940
And if you speak in the language of virtue, you know, that the more you do something,
00:11:58.300
the easier it is to do and the harder it is to do the opposite. It becomes a political problem.
00:12:02.080
This is why for most of American history, we discouraged bad behaviors that were contrary
00:12:07.320
to people's flourishing. We discouraged things like abortion. We discouraged weird sex stuff.
00:12:11.800
We discouraged families breaking up. We discouraged, uh, all sorts of things that are not going to be
00:12:17.540
conducive to, to one living a good life. We discovered mutilating ones, or we discouraged rather
00:12:22.080
mutilating one's body and so on and so forth. Now we don't do that now that we've liberalized and
00:12:28.620
many of the conservatives have gone along with this. Oh yeah, who cares, man? You know, do whatever
00:12:32.180
you want. You know, we're all for freedom as, as we have liberalized things on drugs, on, on, uh,
00:12:39.760
the meaning of family and, you know, on divorce and all the rest of it. As we've liberalized that
00:12:44.800
we, we cultivate more and more of these behaviors and it's harder and harder to break.
00:12:50.540
It's going to be very, you might be able to persuade your center left uncle, who's a fairly
00:12:57.220
reasonable guy who wants his, his stock portfolio to do better. You might be able to convince him to
00:13:02.100
vote for Trump. It's gonna be a lot harder to convince those girls to vote for Trump.
00:13:05.020
You've got to unwind a lot of false beliefs and bad behaviors. So it would probably be better
00:13:11.080
politically if, if we could nip that sort of thing in the bud early on. Uh, of course, this is why the
00:13:16.520
left has taken over education is because if they can cultivate those kinds of desires and behaviors
00:13:21.340
and false ideas early, it becomes much harder for the conservatives to break them. There's so much

00:14:32.560
Kamala would change the political order if she became president. The Libs have already done a
00:14:36.340
good job. How else does Kamala want to change the political order? She wants to pass the Freedom
00:14:40.200
to Vote Act. What is the Freedom to Vote Act? Kamala doesn't really want to tell you.
00:14:47.880
So we who believe in the sacred freedom to vote will finally pass the John Lewis voting
00:14:54.080
rights act and the Freedom to Vote Act. Okay. We're going to pass the John Lewis. John
00:15:02.500
Lewis was this awful Democrat congressman, but you're not allowed to criticize him because he
00:15:07.100
knew Martin Luther King once or something. So he's totally off limits, but he was awful,
00:15:12.000
far left, just terrible member of Congress. And then the Freedom to Vote Act, even more important
00:15:17.780
than the John Lewis Act. The Freedom to Vote Act would raise a question for me, which is who's
00:15:23.020
not free to vote? But yeah, in principle, freedom to vote, doesn't that sound great? But
00:15:29.260
who's not free to vote? There are people in America who are not free to vote.
00:15:34.000
Right now, even I'm not even throughout the country, just in most places right now,
00:15:39.360
illegal aliens are not free to vote. Foreigners who are not illegal aliens, they just happen to be
00:15:44.920
here. They're not free to vote. Criminals are not free to vote in most places. Felons are not free to
00:15:51.160
vote in some places. Democrats are trying to enfranchise felons. Well, the Freedom to Vote
00:15:55.820
Act would, among other things, enact nationwide no-excuse mail-in voting. So the sort of thing
00:16:02.200
that is illegal, according to the state constitution of Pennsylvania, this would say, no, no, no,
00:16:07.520
you are going to get unsolicited, ubiquitous mail-in ballots. The legislation would ensure that
00:16:14.260
registrants could use drop boxes to turn in the mail-in ballots. So much less oversight over the
00:16:20.740
ballot system. The law would automatically register voters unless they opt out. Right now,
00:16:27.460
if you want to vote, you have to say, it's not very hard, but you have to say, I want to vote.
00:16:32.140
And so this means that people have to have even a modicum of motivation, even a modicum of knowledge,
00:16:39.300
even a modicum of participation in our political process in order to vote. This law would say, nope,
00:16:45.560
you might not even know what your name is, but we're going to register you to vote. And don't worry,
00:16:49.140
we'll take care of filling out that ballot for you. It's, hey, don't worry yourself about it. We
00:16:54.400
just want to make sure you have the right to vote. But you can outsource that, don't worry.
00:17:00.200
States that already have automatic voter registration usually do it through the DMV.
00:17:05.460
This is called motor voter laws. And it ends up, you'll be unsurprised, that when you have automatic
00:17:12.220
voter registration, a lot of people who are not eligible to vote, should not be eligible to vote,
00:17:16.520
are put on the voter rolls, including illegal aliens. So that's what this is about. Everyone
00:17:24.280
who should vote, and then some, are currently able to vote. The Freedom to Vote Act exists
00:17:31.900
to make sure that a greater number of illegal aliens, other non-citizens, criminals, people who have no
00:17:40.640
interest in the political process, who are much more easily manipulable by the Democrats, all those
00:17:46.060
people are enfranchised. It's just a way to steal elections. And when I say Kamala Harris wants
00:17:53.280
illegals to vote, I know Snopes is going to come out, there's going to be a big fact check, false.
00:17:57.860
Washington Post, fact checkers, 10 million Pinocchios. How dare Michael suggest Kamala
00:18:02.400
wants illegal aliens to vote? She told us herself.
00:18:04.660
We know our immigration system is broken, and we know what it takes to fix it. Comprehensive reform
00:18:14.060
that includes, yes, strong border security and an earned pathway to citizenship.
00:18:21.880
There it is. She just told us that. If you don't understand how she told us she wants illegal
00:18:27.320
aliens to vote, she just said, I'm going to make sure that illegal aliens can vote by making sure
00:18:32.520
they're no longer illegal aliens. I'm going to give them a mass amnesty. I'm going to make them
00:18:37.080
citizens. And then, hey, look, we don't need to worry about debating illegal alien voting because
00:18:41.440
I just turned those illegal aliens with a wave of a wand into citizens. And I did it because
00:18:47.180
statistically, they're much more likely to vote for me and my fellow Democrats than they are to
00:18:51.140
vote for Republicans. And I know there's a lot of wish casting by Republicans who say, no,
00:18:55.460
we could win those voters. Yeah, probably not though, actually. Yes, there's been movement among
00:19:01.800
Hispanic voters. There was a survey that came out a couple of months ago now showed that Democrats,
00:19:08.360
and this is back when Biden was in the race. Probably the numbers have gotten a little worse
00:19:11.340
for Republicans since then. There was a 20-point swing from the Democrats to Donald Trump.
00:19:16.220
And even with a 20-percentage-point swing in the Hispanic vote, Democrats were still winning the
00:19:22.080
Hispanic vote, okay? There are certain Hispanic groups that tend to vote Republican more frequently.
00:19:28.420
Cubans would be one example of this, which is why Barack Obama, as he's trying to flood the country
00:19:32.320
with illegals, largely Hispanic, he actually cut off migration from Cuba. This is the one,
00:19:37.860
Cubans who swim over on a wooden door across shark-infested waters. Previously, they could
00:19:44.140
put one foot on dry land and they were granted some asylum in America. No, Obama got rid of that
00:19:49.540
one because those Cubans, they vote to a Republican. So you forget about the Cubans. The Colombians
00:19:53.640
trend a little bit Republican too. I don't know about those Colombians. But the illegal aliens
00:19:58.240
from the Hispanic countries that are more likely to vote for Democrats, those are the ones that
00:20:02.840
Democrats want to flood the country with and then give them a pathway to citizenship so that they can
00:20:07.820
vote for Democrats. Reagan famously said the Hispanics are conservative. They just don't know
00:20:11.860
it yet. Well, we've been waiting for 45 years. It hasn't quite happened. So it doesn't mean that
00:20:16.640
at the micro level, Hispanics can't move conservative. I know many extremely conservative Hispanics,
00:20:22.320
but at the macro level, there's a reason Democrats are pushing for this mass amnesty.
00:20:26.560
That's what they want. They want a permanent electoral majority. That is what Kamala is
00:20:32.020
running on explicitly. If you like what's going on at the border right now, you like the criminal
00:20:37.640
cartels controlling the border, you like millions and millions of foreigners coming over and completely
00:20:42.740
reshaping your country. And by the way, bringing a lot of crime and poison with them, poison that has
00:20:49.580
at this point statistically likely killed someone you know or perhaps even a member of your family
00:20:55.540
or a close friend. That's how widespread the fentanyl crisis is. If you like that, vote for Kamala Harris
00:21:02.620

called The Intellectual Life. And Father Sertilange, a good Dominican, pointed out that if you want to
00:22:01.020
have a good intellectual life, you need to make sure that you take care of your body. Am I laying it on
00:22:04.940
thick enough for you? Go to responsibleman.com. Be the man America needs. There's a really weird
00:22:11.860
new trend. Speaking of foreign travel, there's a really weird new trend. It's called raw-dogging
00:22:17.880
flights. Raw-dogging flights. BBC is reporting on it. I'd already heard about it, though. No films,
00:22:26.640
no music, no sleep. Is raw-dogging long flights heroic or foolish? Last week, Damian Bailey posted on
00:22:33.540
Instagram that he had just achieved his personal best. A 13 and a half hour flight between Shanghai
00:22:38.900
and Dallas without any in-flight entertainment films, books, or music. It's quite tough, honestly,
00:22:45.180
the 34-year-old from Miami, Florida tells BBC. But he keeps doing it. There's some more. You can just
00:22:52.960
see this young guy. A lot of this is like young fit guys. Just raw-dogged a seven-hour flight. No phone,
00:22:58.440
no sleep, no water, no food, only map. Hashtag easy. I actually heard a story about a presidential
00:23:05.840
candidate, a Republican in 2024, doing this very thing. I heard that someone said,
00:23:12.260
I was on a flight with this person, and the whole time he just sat, stared straight ahead. So he was
00:23:16.800
an early adopter. Is this good or bad? I mean, in itself, who cares? Who cares what these social
00:23:25.480
media influencers are doing on long flights? But what does it imply? What's the political
00:23:30.440
meaning of it? Is it a good, is it the politics that's going in a good direction or a bad direction?
00:23:34.560
What does it mean? Seems to me that if you are actively doing nothing, if you were just sitting
00:23:43.220
on this flight, trying to eradicate any thought from your mind, trying to fade yourself into oblivion,
00:23:51.020
trying to do some, I don't know, some kind of weird Buddhist meditation where the self dissolves
00:23:56.960
or something, then that's probably bad and dumb and stupid and completely pointless. However,
00:24:04.640
if you're raw-dogging the flight and you are praying, let's say, so you're using, oh, good,
00:24:12.500
you get 12 hours to pray like some, you know, monk somewhere. Okay, well, that could be good if
00:24:19.400
you're using that time to think. Maybe you're just organizing your thoughts. You've got some book you
00:24:24.000
want to write, and you're just using this time to really explore some topic. You've digested a lot
00:24:29.980
of information before the flight, and you're just trying to work through your thoughts. I think that
00:24:33.400
can be good. The difference is, what is the raw-dogging the flight for? There's a trend that's
00:24:44.160
become popular even before raw-dogging flights called mindfulness meditation. You've probably
00:24:48.900
heard of it. Every bougie lib in every suburb in America is really into this thing. It's an outgrowth
00:24:58.260
of the fashionable yoga that white bougie people do before they go to brunch on Sundays and mindfulness
00:25:06.040
meditation. Mindfulness meditation in itself is pretty dumb because it's a derivative. Like so
00:25:13.060
much New Age religion, it's a derivative of Eastern religions, and Eastern religions tend to be
00:25:19.500
Dharmic and tend to be at least non-theistic and tend to be not about the fulfillment of the self,
00:25:24.500
but the abnegation of the self, the total erasure of the self, or the identification of the self with
00:25:29.540
mere universality or something. I'm oversimplifying a little bit, but the bougie white people who do
00:25:35.880
this are certainly oversimplifying it too, so I think I can get away with it. Mindfulness meditation
00:25:41.380
could be good if it's for something. Mindfulness meditation is when you just focus on the present,
00:25:47.480
and you're very aware of your surroundings, and you're in a stillness and a quietness,
00:25:52.400
and there's a kind of peace, and you're paying attention to the smell of the lady's perfume
00:25:57.100
three seats down in the airplane, or you're paying attention to the vibrant colors of the flower on
00:26:02.620
the tree or something. But all of this is judged not on the thing itself, but what it's for. You
00:26:08.860
know, we go back to good old Uncle Aristotle. You judge a thing, you know a thing actually, by what the
00:26:14.120
thing is for. So I think a lot of these young fitness influencer guys are raw-dogging flights
00:26:19.540
in order to prove how just tough and stoic they are. But stoicism, while there's much to recommend
00:26:25.600
it, is ultimately kind of fruitless and pointless, and it's just a, you know, a pagan philosophy.
00:26:31.880
But if it's for praying, if it's for focusing on God, if it's for something that will be edifying
00:26:39.500
and sanctifying, I think it's pretty good. And I'm all for raw-dogging flights, though I myself
00:26:47.300

00:27:30.500
best political news stories in years, and it's flying totally under the radar. It's once again thanks
00:27:37.800
to Elon Musk. I might take a little assist on it too. You'll see why in a second. GARM,
00:27:44.720
the Global Alliance for Responsible Media, is being shut down. What is the Global Alliance for
00:27:50.220
Responsible Media? It is an initiative from the World Federation of Advertisers, and you want to
00:27:55.720
know what it really is? GARM is a cartel that wields the power of international corporations to shut up
00:28:02.960
conservatives, to censor conservative speech, to bully social media platforms, into deplatforming
00:28:08.420
conservatives. That's what it is. It's a project associated with all sorts of weirdos at the World
00:28:13.960
Economic Forum, and any globalist entity you can think of, it's them. And it was a way for them to
00:28:19.900
wield the power of the most influential corporations on earth to censor conservatives in politics.
00:28:27.620
And Elon Musk almost single-handedly shut it down. The reason I take a little bit of an assist here is
00:28:32.880
I, you may recall, I hate to say I told you so, I sort of broke this story a year ago,
00:28:38.140
more than a year ago now. And I said, hey, stay tuned. The House Judiciary Committee is doing some
00:28:42.300
good work on this. Jim Jordan's really digging into this a little bit. But this is a cartel,
00:28:46.540
and they're trying to bully conservatives, especially Elon Musk, who had bought Twitter
00:28:51.040
and was facing huge organized boycotts for allowing conservatives to speak on there.
00:28:57.980
Then the House Judiciary Committee holds hearings about this. Daily Wire has been personally
00:29:02.500
affected by this kind of thing. Then our founding editor and one of the owners of the company
00:29:08.720
showed up. He actually testified before the House Judiciary Committee on what GARM means for public
00:29:14.480
speech. Elon threatens to sue them on antitrust grounds. And GARM says, okay, we're shutting down.
00:29:21.960
And I love, this is how they talk about it. GARM is a small not-for-profit initiative,
00:29:27.060
and recent allegations that unfortunately misconstrues purpose and activities have
00:29:30.440
caused a distraction and significantly drained its resources and finances. The World Federation
00:29:35.440
of Advertisers, therefore, is making the difficult decision to discontinue GARM activities. Okay,
00:29:39.900
hold on. I just want to point out. No, no, this GARM thing, it's just this tiny, it's a small
00:29:46.260
not-for-profit initiative. By the World Federation of Advertisers. You know, when things are world
00:29:55.240
federations, they tend not to be small, they tend not to be trivial because they involve
00:30:01.620
the whole world. And it's a World Federation of Advertisers, that is to say, the most powerful
00:30:08.020
companies on earth that provide the lifeblood of media, that provide the lifeblood even of big tech
00:30:16.860
platforms. So you had some of the most powerful people on earth going in saying, we're going to
00:30:22.280
choke off your company's tech platforms. We're going to choke off your media organizations if you
00:30:26.740
dare to contradict the liberals. And then the minute that the one conservative zillionaire that
00:30:33.060
we have on our side, that's not fair. There are a few others. Peter Thiel's kind of involved. There
00:30:37.060
are a number of others. But compared to the Libs billionaires, we got nothing. And the one guy who
00:30:41.780
puts his money where his mouth is and goes and buys a big tech platform, and he threatens to sue
00:30:45.480
them, these guys fold like a cheap suit. Love it. Love that. And another reason I love it,
00:30:55.180
not just because I get to say I told you so, not just because it's a big political win for
00:30:59.340
conservatives. This is also another win for the law is a tutor crowd over the politics is downstream of
00:31:08.180
culture crowd. Now, both are true, obviously. You know, I don't even think you can really separate
00:31:12.120
politics from culture, but there's this libertarian slogan that has been so abused
00:31:18.080
in recent years. Politics is downstream of culture. And when I say it's abused, I mean,
00:31:23.380
it's abused to give Republican politicians an excuse not to do their jobs and wield the law and
00:31:27.860
wield the government for the betterment of society. And then there's the more classically
00:31:32.760
conservative side of things, which I find myself on, which says actually the law is a tutor and it's
00:31:37.800
good for politicians to do their jobs and to wield the law in a just way. To quote Dante, who's on my
00:31:44.240
mind because I gave a lecture about him at the ISI honors program on Friday, you know, you can fit the
00:31:49.920
polity with reins, the reins of the law, but who cares if you got the bridle, if the saddle's empty,
00:31:55.540
you need politicians to actually wield the law in a just way. Well, here Elon goes in and says,
00:32:02.440
you got some law? Okay, I'm going to wield the law. Jim Jordan comes in, he says, I'm in office,
00:32:06.600
I'm going to wield the law. I'm at least going to hold some hearings, air this stuff out. And guess
00:32:11.580
what? We win. We win. When conservatives are not afraid to use the government for good purposes and
00:32:18.440
just purposes within the proper bounds of the law, we win. When we ignore the law, when we ignore the
00:32:25.780
government, when we have an allergy to political action, we lose. Good, good stuff. Now, speaking of
00:32:34.280
overseas adventures, the scandal surrounding Tim Walls, I guess there are multiple scandals
00:32:43.220
surrounding Tim Walls, but the stolen valor scandal surrounding Tim Walls is getting worse and worse.
00:32:47.880
You know, Tim Walls misrepresented or allowed to be misrepresented his military record. He
00:32:53.360
personally misrepresented it when he said he carried weapons in war. He stole valor is basically what he
00:32:57.500
did. He also got, after a long period of time in the National Guard, he got out just before he
00:33:03.900
was to deploy to a war zone. And he's catching a lot of flack for this. So forget about what the
00:33:10.740
conservatives are saying. Here's what the liberals are saying about this. This is CNN News Central with
00:33:15.860
Breonna Keillor. Kyler. Informed observers connected to politics or the military, myself included, have
00:33:23.860
noted that the Trump campaign is swift voting Tim Walls. Attacks on J.D. Vance's service are also
00:33:30.960
offensive. J.D. Vance served honorably in Iraq, a combat zone where anything can happen and frequently
00:33:38.400
does. As he said in his book, he was, quote, lucky to escape any real fighting. That doesn't make his
00:33:44.940
service less than. Lucky, he says. And luck is often what makes the difference in a combat zone or even a
00:33:52.240
training mission. That today is not your day. In a country where so few shoulder the burden, military
00:33:58.800
service should not be a liability. It should be an asset. And despite our recent years as a country at war, many
00:34:05.680
service members haven't seen combat. That doesn't make them or their service less admirable or less
00:34:12.380
necessary. Nor does retiring from the National Guard after 24 years. These kinds of attacks from
00:34:19.220
the left or the right diminish the service of so many others who have served honorably. Oh, yeah. Is
00:34:26.140
that right, CNN? Now, listen, listen, there have been attacks on Tim Walls of service. And I just want to
00:34:30.100
say I'm CNN. I just want to say, no, people really shouldn't be attacking J.D. Vance's service. He served
00:34:36.180
honorably in Iraq. Right. He did. Tim Walls didn't. That's the issue. And actually, the issue isn't even
00:34:43.400
Tim Walls of service. Military service shouldn't be a liability. It should be an asset. Yeah, yeah,
00:34:47.900
it should. It should. And no one's saying that Tim Walls is military service. Even if he didn't go
00:34:52.400
to Iraq or Afghanistan, no one's saying that that is a liability. The liability is that Tim Walls lied
00:34:59.020
about it. OK, there is no form of military service that is disreputable. It's all honorable and
00:35:05.120
admirable. Lying about it is what is disreputable. And J.D. Vance has never lied about his military
00:35:11.180
service. And Tim Walls has consistently lied about his military service for years. And you got caught
00:35:15.840
Tim Walls and you got caught Democrats shilling for it. And now you're trying to wave the white flag
00:35:21.100
or you're even being more dishonest about it. You're trying to conflate Walls of service and J.D.
00:35:26.580
Vance's service. No, sorry, Buster. We got you dead to rights. This guy stole valor. He lied. He did
00:35:32.260
it consistently. We got the receipts because the Internet's forever. And now you're trying to make
00:35:37.160
it all seem very vague and ambiguous and wish it away. It ain't going away. That's an extraordinarily
00:35:41.580
offensive, disreputable thing. You don't need to ask me about it. You can talk to people who served
00:35:46.580
with him. You can talk to his superior. And we've seen all of this because, unfortunately for the
00:35:52.560
Democrats, it's all on tape. Speaking of things being on tape, remember the incredible film,
00:35:57.460
What is a Woman? Well, Matt Walsh got the same group of guys back together to ask America's next
00:36:02.940
burning question, am I racist? And that's coming to theaters this September. Matt went deep undercover
00:36:08.000
into the cesspool of DEI insanity, rubbing elbows with professional race hustlers and diversity con
00:36:13.320
artists. Pre-sale tickets go on sale this Thursday, August 15th. With your help, we're going to stick it to
00:36:19.040
the woke mom one ticket at a time. Get all the details. Watch the official trailer
00:36:23.300
at miracist.com. Kelly Hill, 8335 says on Friday, Wall says, don't let the government to your doctor's
00:36:32.900
office. What does he think Medicare for all will do? Yeah, I know. It's why the, just mind your own
00:36:38.820
business. You know, don't, why is the doctor, why do you want the government to your doctor's office
00:36:43.400
is a little, is a little weak coming from a man who speaks positively of socialism from a campaign
00:36:51.380
ticket that supports Medicare for all. These Republicans want to put the government in your
00:36:56.800
doctor's office. You want to give the doctor's office to the government, guys. That's your campaign
00:37:01.920
platform, actually. Little, little bit weak. But the Democrats are trying to put out the brush fire
00:37:09.740
of Tim Walsh's stolen valor. And it's not going well. CNN's doing their best, but it's not going
00:37:15.420
well. CNN had Walsh's superior, military superior on to what they hoped, I think, put all of this to
00:37:24.200
rest. And actually, the opposite happened. Because that is the focus that so many people are wondering
00:37:30.180
about, whether he has done something wrong in service or done something personally to offend you.
00:37:36.940
No, he did something wrong in service, as I stated before. He knew the policies and procedures and
00:37:46.160
how we go to leadership and address issues or discuss issues and concerns out there. Again,
00:37:51.920
backing up, he had told me, no, I'm going forward. We're going to go with the battalion and go from
00:37:56.420
there. So I'm under the believing, he told me he was going forward. I'm underneath that believing that
00:38:00.960
he's going forward. He went around me, which he should have addressed it with me, so we could help
00:38:05.580
do some things out there. Sergeant Major, this was really... Excuse me, I don't want to cut you off.
00:38:11.360
Oh, no, I don't want to cut you off. Why is this guy still talking? People say, well, he hadn't been
00:38:15.840
notified yet. Yes, he had been notified. Now, there's another step out there. There's what's called
00:38:20.740
stop loss. 90 days prior to the actual deployment, we received our orders. And at that time is what's
00:38:27.780
called stop loss, where if you're in a position, you're going forward, irregardless, unless there's
00:38:32.980
some really major or process that gets you off. Okay, bye. Bye. I don't want to hear this anymore.
00:38:41.080
There's that window of opportunity there. People say we never knew he was going forward. Yeah,
00:38:45.460
he knew he was going forward. Here's another thing about... Well, Sergeant Major, I do want to hear
00:38:51.800
what you have to say, Sergeant Major. I know I want to be sensitive of your time, and your audio is
00:38:56.520
beginning to break up just a little bit. Oh, is it now? But I do want to thank you, because I think
00:38:59.260
you've clarified a lot for people and given more information. The question now is how the voters
00:39:03.800
will evaluate it. Sergeant Major, Doug, Julian, thank you so much. Sergeant Major, thank you. No,
00:39:07.800
I really want to hear the rest. Cut his mic! Cut his mic off! No, I really value and I want to hear
00:39:13.040
him more. Why is he still on air? Come on. Audio's breaking up. Come on, get out of here.
00:39:17.560
She opens up. What an amazing loaded question. So did he do anything wrong in service, or did he just
00:39:21.840
personally offend you? Oh, no, he actually did something wrong in service, and I'm just going to
00:39:26.660
explain to you exactly how what he did was wrong. Well, but he probably wasn't notified that he
00:39:32.180
was... Yeah, you all keep saying he wasn't notified that he was going to go to Iraq or overseas. I
00:39:36.900
forget if it was Iraq and Afghanistan. But actually, no, he was. He was notified, and that's when he
00:39:42.860
decided to get out. So that's a lie, too. And yeah, he did go around his superiors, and he... Yeah,
00:39:49.440
it's all just... It's really disreputable, actually. Okay, well, bye. Bye. I don't want to hear this
00:39:53.660
anymore. Yikes. Yikes. We're still. Washington Journal. This is actually a show I was supposed
00:40:00.560
to go on this past weekend, but I was traveling. I wasn't able to go on. Very, very popular,
00:40:05.260
well-established C-SPAN show. Here is an old clip of Tim Waltz being introduced as someone who served
00:40:11.740
in Afghanistan, and he doesn't correct the record. Congressman Tim Waltz, also a member of the Armed
00:40:17.460
Service Committee in Veterans Affairs, Democrat of Minnesota, highest-ranking enlisted soldier ever
00:40:23.180
to serve in Congress, enlisted in the Army National Guard at 17, and retired 24 years later as Command
00:40:29.060
Sergeant Major and served with his battalion at Operating Enduring Freedom in Afghanistan.
00:40:34.840
And I read that because I want to preface our discussion with your military careers.
00:40:40.460
That's a lie. That's him lying about his military service. That's about him lying about being in a war
00:40:45.500
zone. Here he is, Tim Waltz, served in Operation Enduring Freedom in Afghanistan, and you see him,
00:40:51.840
he nods his head, yes. And he says something with his mouth. It looks like yes, but whatever he says,
00:40:57.040
he nods his head, yes. And he doesn't correct the record. He lied. He lied about his military service
00:41:02.060
in a really, really disreputable way. It's even more than a lie by omission. The other day,
00:41:10.360
I was interviewing somebody, and I mentioned that as a boy, I liked baseball. And this person said,
00:41:15.600
well, Michael, you know, listen, you, you know, you're a baseball player as a kid. And I felt the
00:41:19.080
need to correct the record. I said, no, no, no. I played baseball, you know, in Little League or
00:41:23.020
something when I was really young, and I was really bad at it. I want to be clear. I was a really bad
00:41:27.620
baseball player. I don't even want to steal the valor of playing, you know, varsity high school
00:41:33.800
baseball. Okay. Cause I just, I don't want to paint a false picture here. I was really bad at
00:41:39.560
baseball. You don't want to pretend to be something you're not. It's, it's wrong in itself. And also
00:41:46.440
you look foolish and, and it's humiliating in the long run when you get caught. Tim Walls here is
00:41:53.660
lying about a lot more than playing high school baseball. Okay. This guy said, yeah, I, yes, I served
00:41:57.540
in Afghanistan and operation enduring freedom. This issue is not going away. And the Democrats are trying
00:42:02.700
to, to trying to, you know, smile through the tears and they say, no, this is a bad issue.
00:42:08.300
Republicans shouldn't talk about this. Republicans should talk about this. This is really bad stuff.
00:42:12.360
The way, you know, it's a vulnerability is that they can't shut up about it.
00:42:17.000
Kamala Harris facing the same issue with these old clips. There's an old clip that just jumped up of
00:42:21.160
her. You know, Kamala was the most liberal Senator. She was to the left of Bernie Sanders when she was in
00:42:25.760
the U S Senate. She tried to talk her way out of it back in 2020, back then when the journalists
00:42:31.060
didn't really care about Kamala, they, they actually told the truth.
00:42:34.860
Very different in the policies that you've supported in the past. You're considered the
00:42:39.580
most liberal United States Senator. I, somebody said that in it actually was Mike Pence on the
00:42:46.420
debate stage, but yeah, well, actually the nonpartisan GovTrack has rated you as the most
00:42:52.840
liberal Senator. You supported the green new deal. You supported Medicare for all.
00:42:58.620
If you're listening and you're not watching, I'm sorry. You're missing one of the greatest
00:43:02.740
Kamala clips. You're the most liberal Senator. I think, uh, I'm going to, I'm going to, I think
00:43:09.280
Mike Pence, Mike Pence said that. No, actually it was, it was GovTrack, which is nonpartisan.
00:43:17.260
Maybe even perhaps even could lean a little left. And, and you see Kamala just, she doesn't have a
00:43:21.580
word to say about it. She just, Oh, and you've supported Medicare for all. And you've, Oh,
00:43:25.620
huh? Huh? Huh? It was a lot easier for the media to lie about politicians records before the
00:43:32.420
internet. Now, now it's, they can still do it substantially because, uh, they can, they'll
00:43:38.500
just cover it up and they still control most of the platforms, but pretty good. There's one story
00:43:42.920
too. I have to get to the Olympics just ended. And I don't know if you saw this story a few days ago.
00:43:47.300
There was a gal who won, uh, she won the bronze medal, this, this Romanian gal and, uh, her name
00:43:55.600
is a Voinea, Sabrina Voinea. And, and so her score was up there, you know, and she won the bronze and
00:44:01.680
she did a good job in gymnastics. And then they just changed her score. She's already so excited
00:44:07.760
that she won. They changed her score and they gave it to, and this is important for the context.
00:44:13.800
She's an extremely white girl and they gave it to a black girl, Childs, something Childs. And, uh,
00:44:21.020
so, uh, Jordan Childs. So Jordan Childs, black, uh, ends up keeping her same score. Sabrina Voinea
00:44:29.280
loses a 10th of a point or something like that, uh, for allegedly stepping out. You know, she placed
00:44:35.500
her foot in the wrong place during her set. And so now she can't, she loses the bronze and she runs
00:44:40.520
away crying head in hands. You know, it's obviously so awful and humiliating. She just made her dreams
00:44:45.160
come true and now she's got to run away. And then when you look at the tape, you realize she never
00:44:49.780
stepped out. Her foot was exactly where it was supposed to be the whole time. You can play the
00:44:54.660
tape. Never once. That doesn't, the heel doesn't touch. You can see it. Zoom in right there. It's
00:45:03.240
not hard. They got cameras all over the Olympics. I'm not saying it didn't come close, but it was fine.
00:45:08.760
They took that point away for no reason whatsoever. So now there's an update on the story, which is
00:45:13.100
that, uh, the Olympics have gone back and they reviewed it and they, okay, they're actually
00:45:18.420
going to reverse their decision and they're going to, weirdly enough, they're going to give
00:45:21.180
it to a different Romanian girl, the bronze, but not this one. But all of that is kind of beside the
00:45:26.000
point. This girl had trained her whole life for that moment to be there on that podium and they
00:45:33.640
took it away from her. And this was promoted because now you get the all black podium and that's
00:45:39.480
supposed to be historic. You know, finally, finally black people are succeeding in athletics. You've
00:45:44.240
never, we've never seen anything like that before, but it's supposed to be historic because of the
00:45:47.740
modern racial ideologies that the libs push. And so, okay, who cares if you reverse the decision
00:45:53.180
later or you give it to, you give it to this girl, you give it to some other Romanian girl. You, that's,
00:45:57.440
that's not the point. The reason that this sort of unfair thing was promoted in the first place
00:46:03.120
is in service of this ideology. So now, now we have affirmative action, not only in our schools,
00:46:09.140
not only in places of employment, we have affirmative action in the Olympics too. I have never,
00:46:15.280
I've never been more vindicated. I said this at the awful satanic opening ceremonies. I said there
00:46:22.400
was another dumb closing ceremony. I, but I have never been more vindicated in not liking the
00:46:28.040
Olympics. It's a lib thing. It's been, I'm not talking about the ancient Olympics. That was a
00:46:33.100
pagan thing. Then it fell into a disuse for like 1400 years. No one did the Olympics. Then a bunch of
00:46:39.540
modern libs resuscitated it and made the modern Olympics. And it's always been kind of lib weird
00:46:44.540
kumbaya. And I'm just, just feeling vindicated. It's music Monday, baby. The rest of the show is

Republicans are Nazis. You cannot separate yourselves from the bad white people. Growing up,
00:47:15.640
I never thought much about race. It never really seemed to matter that much, at least not to me.
00:47:19.640
Am I racist? I would really appreciate it if you love. I'm trying to learn. I'm on this journey.
00:47:24.300
If I'm going to sort this out, I need to go deeper undercover.
00:47:28.780
They gon' say I'm racist. Joining us now is Matt, certified DEI expert. Here's my certification.
00:47:34.660
And what you're doing is you're stretching out of your whiteness. This is more for you and less
00:47:38.180
for you. Is America inherently racist? The word inherent is challenging there. I want to rename
00:47:42.440
the George Washington Monument to the George Floyd Monument. America is racist to its bones.
00:47:46.640
So inherently. Yeah. This country is a piece of shit.
00:47:50.880
White. Folks. White. Trash. White supremacy. White woman. White boy. Is there a black person
00:47:55.360
around here? What happened? There's a black person right here. Does he not exist?
00:47:59.600
Hi, Robin. Hi. What's your name? I'm Matt. I just had to ask who you are because
