The Michael Knowles Show - Ep. 1550 - Did Walz Go Soft On Pedophiles？

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

00:01:19.060 having an orientation for such an attachment.

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. 0.99

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

00:04:46.160 sent me a bunch of pictures from her wedding.

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.

00:05:09.780 But it just proves to you how effective it is.

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

00:06:08.640 really gung-ho about Harris.

00:06:11.000 Why are y'all voting for Kamala Harris?

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.

00:06:32.080 What about you?

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,

00:06:49.420 Alternative.

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 1.00

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

00:07:05.040 just very pro-Kamala.

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. 1.00

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 1.00

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. 0.99

00:09:41.900 When the feminists said in the seventies, the personal is the political. They're 100% correct. 1.00

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 0.98

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. 0.94

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. 1.00

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 0.57

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 1.00

00:14:36.340 good job. How else does Kamala want to change the political order? She wants to pass the Freedom 1.00

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 1.00

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 0.78

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 0.61

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 1.00

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. 0.97

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. 0.94

00:18:04.660 We know our immigration system is broken, and we know what it takes to fix it. Comprehensive reform 1.00

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 0.98

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 0.92

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 1.00

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 0.97

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 1.00

00:19:32.320 with illegals, largely Hispanic, he actually cut off migration from Cuba. This is the one, 0.97

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 1.00

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 0.80

00:20:07.820 vote for Democrats. Reagan famously said the Hispanics are conservative. They just don't know 0.99

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, 0.99

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 1.00

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 1.00

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

00:22:11.860 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 1.00

00:24:58.260 of the fashionable yoga that white bougie people do before they go to brunch on Sundays and mindfulness 1.00

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 0.99

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

00:26:44.680 will opt for a book and a scotch.

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 0.68

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 0.70

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 1.00

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. 0.82

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 0.93

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 1.00

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 0.99

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 1.00

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, 0.98

00:44:21.020 so, uh, Jordan Childs. So Jordan Childs, black, uh, ends up keeping her same score. Sabrina Voinea 0.99

00:44:29.280 loses a 10th of a point or something like that, uh, for allegedly stepping out. You know, she placed 1.00

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

00:47:10.260 Republicans are Nazis. You cannot separate yourselves from the bad white people. Growing up, 0.72

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 0.94

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 1.00

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

00:48:03.480 you have to be careful. Never be too careful.
