00:00:00.000 Nervous about financing a renovation or move?
00:00:03.320 TD can help.
00:00:04.860 Request a calming call with TD Mortgage Direct
00:00:08.340 and say hello to good advice.
00:00:14.840 Jewish organizations at American universities are warning
00:00:18.040 that the pro-Palestine, anti-Israel protests
00:00:21.160 that rocked campuses in the spring
00:00:22.980 could kick back up any day now
00:00:25.780 as students return to school.
00:00:28.380 Unless things change quickly,
00:00:30.740 explains the director of the American Jewish Committee's
00:00:33.520 Center for Education Advocacy,
00:00:35.620 I have zero doubt that things will go back
00:00:38.120 to where they were last year.
00:00:40.760 And this is great news.
00:00:42.340 This is great.
00:00:43.200 This is the best political news
00:00:45.260 that I have heard in weeks, maybe months.
00:00:48.680 You know I love my Jewish friends.
00:00:51.360 The schools absolutely need to make sure
00:00:53.800 that Jews are not harassed or impeded from going to class
00:00:56.500 or anything like that.
00:00:58.140 But the protests must be allowed to continue.
00:01:03.440 Because as the media coalesce to protect Kamala Harris at all costs,
00:01:07.480 the American people must have the opportunity
00:01:10.880 to see the libs for who they really are.
00:01:15.020 The crazy hair, the shrieking, the sympathy with terrorists,
00:01:19.220 the anti-colonial ravings, the racial hatred,
00:01:23.800 even the American flag burning,
00:01:26.100 which is something that makes my blood boil.
00:01:29.320 But that American flag burning that seems to accompany
00:01:31.720 so many of these affairs,
00:01:33.020 and it always goes on unmolested,
00:01:35.020 and the Supreme Court says it's allowed to go on unmolested.
00:01:37.520 I hate every part of all that stuff,
00:01:39.280 but it is a matter of civic responsibility
00:01:41.160 that the American people see
00:01:42.940 who and what a Harris victory in November empowers.
00:01:46.620 It is an unpleasant short-term cost
00:01:49.480 for a significant long-term benefit.
00:01:52.100 Politically, things do need to go back
00:01:55.320 to where they were last year.
00:01:57.140 Because last year,
00:01:58.720 the Republicans were indisputably winning this election.
00:02:02.160 I'm Michael Knowles.
00:02:03.080 This is The Michael Knowles Show.
00:02:18.720 Welcome back to the show.
00:02:25.160 Black voters in Philadelphia are fed up,
00:02:28.480 and they're blaming the federal government
00:02:29.960 for economic problems.
00:02:32.280 And this is actually somehow not great for Republicans.
00:02:35.280 You'd think it would be, but it's not.
00:02:37.140 We'll get to why in a second.
00:02:38.160 First is here, baby.
00:02:41.000 The yes or no game.
00:02:42.600 You know the yes or no game.
00:02:44.480 Very popular game in the Daily Wire shop.
00:02:46.540 You know the conspiracy expansion pack.
00:02:49.700 We came out with it last year.
00:02:51.240 It sold out.
00:02:52.180 I'm overjoyed to share
00:02:53.600 where we have this brand-new expansion pack
00:02:55.900 introducing politics, philosophy, and religion.
00:03:00.220 The yes or no expansion pack is a tease.
00:03:03.020 I'm going to pull some cards.
00:03:04.660 Mr. Davies, you want to play with me?
00:03:06.080 Let's do it.
00:03:06.940 You're going to play?
00:03:07.480 Okay.
00:03:08.500 Top one.
00:03:10.860 Gender ideology is more dangerous than Islam.
00:03:14.540 You got to say what I think,
00:03:20.960 or I say what you think?
00:03:22.980 Whatever you want to do, man.
00:03:24.740 It's my show, I guess.
00:03:26.100 We'll play it however I want.
00:03:27.700 Okay.
00:03:28.240 You guess what I think about that.
00:03:29.640 All right.
00:03:30.980 I think,
00:03:32.240 yes, gender ideology is worse.
00:03:36.380 That is true.
00:03:38.760 Islam gets things wrong as well.
00:03:40.640 No offense to our Muslim friends out there,
00:03:42.320 but Islam, from the Christian perspective,
00:03:45.020 partakes of a number of heresies and schisms.
00:03:49.080 But gender ideology is a kind of a heresy,
00:03:51.600 and it's a more deeply rooted heresy.
00:03:54.440 It goes much further back even than Islam.
00:03:57.160 It's the Gnostic heresy, Gnostic dualism.
00:03:59.660 So for that reason, yes, it's more dangerous.
00:04:02.420 We're going to do another one?
00:04:03.860 I'm going to guess what you think.
00:04:05.280 Male cheerleaders should be banned.
00:04:09.280 You better get this right.
00:04:10.440 What do you think?
00:04:12.320 I guess you think, yes.
00:04:14.960 I actually do, Michael.
00:04:16.840 You do.
00:04:17.560 You know, I'm torn on it.
00:04:19.520 In that, George W. Bush was a cheerleader, and I...
00:04:25.180 Oh, don't squish on this.
00:04:26.760 No, I'm just saying...
00:04:27.660 There's a place for men.
00:04:28.740 It's not being a cheerleader.
00:04:30.940 That, yeah.
00:04:31.700 But what if you're like a little...
00:04:33.320 I don't know.
00:04:35.780 What if you're a little light in the loafers, you know?
00:04:38.460 And we're saying, you know, look, you've got to act normal and stuff.
00:04:41.980 But maybe one outlet for you is you like cheerleading.
00:04:45.040 Yeah, you know, maybe if you have a good right hook and you're a woman, you should box.
00:04:47.420 Yeah, no, I guess you're right.
00:04:48.440 Okay, I agree with you.
00:04:49.180 You're right.
00:04:49.960 You've convinced me.
00:04:51.420 And you can play with up to nine people at once and put your knowledge of your friends
00:04:55.060 and family to the test.
00:04:56.740 Go to dailywire.com slash shop to get yes or no at the game.
00:04:59.920 And while you're there, be sure to pick up the new Politics, Philosophy, and Religion
00:05:02.920 expansion pack.
00:05:06.080 The pro-Palestine stuff already kicking up off campus.
00:05:09.440 These guys shut down the 405, it seems.
00:05:12.140 So one of the main highways in California, we call them freeways, in California just shuts
00:05:18.860 it right down there in LA.
00:05:20.100 So you can see, if you've seen any of the footage, it's, you see one cop car, you see
00:05:29.120 the 405, I don't know which direction it's going, it's completely shut down, a ton of
00:05:32.880 cars, and then a bunch of these wackos just sitting around blocking traffic.
00:05:38.440 Now, what should happen in this situation?
00:05:41.480 What should happen is the cops should drag them off the street.
00:05:44.680 And if they resist, if the protesters use any force to resist, then the cops should use
00:05:49.940 a lot of force to resist the resistance of the protesters, okay, and teach them a little
00:05:55.140 bit of a lesson.
00:05:56.860 That's what should happen.
00:05:57.960 Now, I know if I were sitting in that traffic, I would be very, very tempted to drive my car
00:06:04.520 on the road where you're supposed to be able to drive your car.
00:06:07.320 People are not supposed to be on the highway.
00:06:09.360 This isn't like a, you know, a street in a neighborhood.
00:06:12.400 This is not a people zone.
00:06:14.180 So I would be very tempted to drive my car.
00:06:16.100 Let's say, God forbid, you had, you know, a member of your family needed to get to the
00:06:20.040 hospital.
00:06:20.840 You got a sick kid in the car or something.
00:06:22.520 God forbid.
00:06:24.000 You're going to drive.
00:06:25.180 I would drive, right?
00:06:26.000 I would be tempted to.
00:06:26.940 But of course, what would happen in that situation?
00:06:29.800 You would immediately be arrested.
00:06:31.600 You would be sent to jail.
00:06:33.020 You'd probably be put in, if anything happened to the protesters, you'd probably be put in
00:06:36.280 jail for life.
00:06:36.880 Why are the cops not dealing with these people?
00:06:40.700 Because the cops know if the cops actually enforce the law, the politicians will drag the
00:06:47.140 cops before a judge.
00:06:49.380 It'll cost the cops their job and the cops might end up in prison.
00:06:54.220 That's why.
00:06:56.740 The powers that be would punish them.
00:06:59.600 So they let these freaks just sit around and shut down highways.
00:07:03.120 Now, this is really bad.
00:07:04.340 You know, if the government can't enforce basic laws and maintain basic order and basic
00:07:09.540 peace, then you might as well not have a government.
00:07:13.020 So this is really bad in itself.
00:07:14.600 And if there were some easy fix to this in California, I'd suggest they do it.
00:07:18.160 The second best option is to let these freaks behave exactly as they're going to behave.
00:07:22.880 The best option on university campuses is that weirdos and people who peddle false ideologies
00:07:31.700 and destructive behaviors are excluded from campus.
00:07:36.500 The best case scenario on campus is that the campuses pursue truth rigorously in a university.
00:07:42.780 That's the point of the university.
00:07:44.580 And enforce standards and norms and bring in people of intellectual merit and good moral
00:07:51.160 fiber and, you know, you have a good place conducive to learning.
00:07:53.840 The second best option is let those freaks show them, show everyone who they are.
00:07:59.160 Because it puts the Democrats in a terrible position.
00:08:02.000 Whether we're talking about some wacky gender protest, whether we're talking about now the
00:08:05.880 pro-Palestine protest, it's all kind of the same people and they're all kind of doing the
00:08:09.260 same thing.
00:08:09.920 They're dressing up like wackos and they're burning the American flag.
00:08:13.000 So the reason this is important is Kamala can't lose those guys.
00:08:17.480 That's the grassroots Democrat activist base.
00:08:23.660 And they're at lockstep with the establishment donor class on a lot of issues, but not on this
00:08:28.880 one.
00:08:29.300 The establishment donor class is generally pro-Israel.
00:08:32.900 The activist class hates Israel.
00:08:36.220 Hates Israel.
00:08:37.680 Loves the idea of a Palestine nation.
00:08:41.980 Buys up all this nonsense about settler colonialism.
00:08:45.520 Makes the same arguments against the state of Israel that they make against the United States
00:08:49.380 about stolen land and an illegitimate historical development, whatever.
00:08:54.640 Best option, we deal with it.
00:08:56.180 We have a peaceful, orderly society.
00:08:57.480 But second best option, we got to know exactly who those people are.
00:09:00.500 Make Kamala Harris sweat.
00:09:01.880 Make her own those people.
00:09:03.560 Drive a wedge in the Democrat Party and make the Kamala-Tim Walls ticket absolutely unacceptable
00:09:09.920 for anyone even approaching normality.
00:09:12.300 Meanwhile, the Libs are saying that we're the unreasonable ones.
00:09:16.800 Aaron Sorkin, who is that absolutely insufferable writer behind the American president, you know
00:09:23.300 that Michael Douglas movie that tried to whitewash the Clinton administration.
00:09:27.540 And he's behind the West Wing.
00:09:29.680 I've never watched a complete episode of the West Wing, but all the Lib millennials grew up
00:09:33.160 loving it.
00:09:34.500 It's just unbearable.
00:09:35.320 This guy, he did Newsroom, that also unbearable show.
00:09:40.100 The guy, he's just terrible.
00:09:41.180 He's a terrible, terrible writer.
00:09:42.880 But he's had a very successful Hollywood career.
00:09:45.220 And he writes about politics and government with a liberal slant.
00:09:48.580 He was just asked what it would be like if he made the West Wing today.
00:09:54.280 Here's what he said.
00:09:55.020 What would be different would be this.
00:09:56.520 And I don't want to get a rumble started over anything.
00:09:58.960 This is simply what would be different.
00:10:00.100 I'm afraid to say, I'm so afraid to say that right now, maybe things will be different
00:10:04.540 a year or two, two years, but right now, it would be implausible that the opposition
00:10:10.100 party, that the Republican party was reasonable.
00:10:14.580 People would watch that and it would be unfamiliar to them as the country that they live in.
00:10:19.360 On the show, while the Republicans were the opposition, they were reasonable, the Republicans
00:10:24.860 that they dealt with.
00:10:26.260 You know, back in the old days, back in the 90s, we had a reasonable Republican party.
00:10:30.860 Now they're so unreasonable.
00:10:33.840 Is that what changed?
00:10:35.860 Is that really, is that really what changed?
00:10:38.760 Back in the 90s, when Aaron Sorkin did the West Wing, nobody seriously doubted that men
00:10:47.040 and women were different.
00:10:48.300 Nobody seriously thought that a man could become a woman.
00:10:51.660 Nobody really was promoting the notion of gay marriage.
00:10:55.160 That was a pretty fringe and radical position that the Democrats in the mainstream uniformly
00:11:00.420 rejected.
00:11:01.780 Nobody suggested that the border should be open and that illegal aliens should flood into
00:11:06.280 our country.
00:11:06.960 Nobody of either party.
00:11:09.320 Nobody suggested that America was intrinsically evil.
00:11:13.900 No mainstream person thought that America was intrinsically evil and ought to be denied its
00:11:20.120 own land and its own history.
00:11:21.800 No mainstream political figure.
00:11:24.120 None of that.
00:11:25.160 Certainly no one thought that a child should be castrated in the promotion of an ideology
00:11:33.080 that basically no one even held.
00:11:35.040 Fast forward, what do we have?
00:11:38.760 Now all of those things are in dispute.
00:11:42.560 Who moved?
00:11:44.140 The Republicans still basically hold the view that all the Democrats held when Aaron Sorkin
00:11:48.820 was writing about them.
00:11:49.600 It's the Democrats that have moved on every single issue.
00:11:52.860 And in fact, I'm sorry to say, the Republicans have gone squishy on those issues too.
00:11:56.320 The Republicans have gone squishy on marriage.
00:11:59.360 The Republicans have gone squishy to some degree, though they've actually gotten stronger
00:12:02.380 in some degree on the pro-life issue.
00:12:04.140 But in some ways, it's a mixed bag.
00:12:06.800 The Republicans, many of them support the transgender ideology now for adults, not for kids, but for
00:12:12.620 adults.
00:12:13.420 So actually, it's not even that the Democrats moved and the Republicans stayed where they
00:12:17.940 were.
00:12:18.220 The Democrats moved to the left.
00:12:19.660 The Republicans also moved to the left.
00:12:22.100 And Aaron Sorkin is saying the Republicans are so unreasonable.
00:12:24.160 I'm trying to think if in any way the Republicans moved to the right, maybe you'd say on trade
00:12:34.060 policy?
00:12:34.700 I don't know.
00:12:35.040 Now we'd like tariffs a little bit more.
00:12:37.140 That's pretty much it, though, isn't it?
00:12:40.540 These are unreasonable people.
00:12:43.040 That's how fast politics moves.
00:12:45.120 The party of castrating kids is telling us that we are no longer reasonable as we were
00:12:54.580 in the 90s, because even though we're radically more leftist in the Republican Party than we
00:12:59.040 were in the 1990s, we're not sufficiently radically leftist.
00:13:02.880 We haven't lurched left fast enough.
00:13:06.360 There's so much more to say.
00:13:07.680 First, though, go to helixsleep.com slash Knowles.
00:13:12.260 I love my Helix.
00:13:13.060 My little boy loves his Helix, too.
00:13:15.880 And now I kind of want to get another Helix, because I still have a guest room.
00:13:20.780 And right now in my guest room, we do not have a Helix.
00:13:24.620 And my poor guests have to sleep on some kind of, you know, box spring monstrosity.
00:13:30.040 So you should do what I should do very shortly and get another Helix, even if you already
00:13:35.600 have one.
00:13:36.040 Helix has a sleep quiz, takes just two minutes to complete, matches your body type and sleep
00:13:40.100 preferences to the perfect mattress for you.
00:13:41.660 Why would you buy a mattress made for someone else?
00:13:44.640 Okay, I'm a married man.
00:13:45.840 Get out of my mattress.
00:13:46.740 Get your own mattress.
00:13:47.520 Get your own Helix.
00:13:49.020 With Helix, you're getting a mattress that you know will be perfect for the way you sleep.
00:13:53.260 You don't ever need to go to the mattress store again.
00:13:55.460 Go to helixsleep.com slash Knowles.
00:13:57.220 Take their two-minute sleep quiz.
00:13:58.720 You'll be matched to a mattress that will give you the best sleep of your life.
00:14:02.460 Helix has a 10-year warranty.
00:14:04.020 You get to try it out for 100 nights, risk-free.
00:14:05.860 They will even pick it up for you if you don't love it, but you will.
00:14:09.300 Financing options available.
00:14:10.820 Flexible payment plans available.
00:14:12.800 A great night's sleep is never far away.
00:14:14.080 Helix is offering up to 20% off all mattress orders and two free pillows for our listeners.
00:14:18.160 Helixsleep.com slash Knowles.
00:14:19.780 Helixsleep.com slash Knowles.
00:14:20.980 This is their best offer yet.
00:14:22.440 It won't last long.
00:14:23.220 With Helix, better sleep starts.
00:14:24.480 Now, speaking of the media, Stephen Colbert just interviewed some CNN lady.
00:14:33.760 I think her name is Erin Burnett.
00:14:37.240 Could be wrong about that.
00:14:38.780 I recognize her.
00:14:39.540 I just, her name escapes me at the moment.
00:14:41.740 She's a reporter, anchor for CNN.
00:14:45.880 Colbert had an accidental laugh line.
00:14:48.140 He doesn't have too many laugh lines on a show anymore.
00:14:49.840 He had an accidental laugh line when he was describing CNN.
00:14:52.500 Trump has kind of been thrown on his heels by this, and he's not really sure how to go after
00:14:57.900 Vice President Harris.
00:14:59.380 He knew his attack lines on President Biden.
00:15:02.320 He really has struggled with how to, how to go after someone who's 20 years younger than him.
00:15:06.760 That's not Erin Burnett.
00:15:06.880 That's Caitlyn Collins.
00:15:07.820 That's not Caitlyn Collins.
00:15:09.180 It's kind of been this moment where he has not been able to coalesce around a single attack line.
00:15:15.200 I know you guys are objective over there that you just report the news as it is.
00:15:20.120 Oh, I know.
00:15:21.060 CNN makes it.
00:15:21.980 I know that's supposed to be a laugh line.
00:15:23.740 It wasn't supposed to be, but I guess it is.
00:15:28.060 What I wanted to ask is that, but you guys still have your own feelings, your own bets
00:15:32.740 about what's going to happen on a daily basis.
00:15:34.840 Wow.
00:15:35.320 I actually think that was not a laugh line.
00:15:37.520 You see Colbert trying to recover and make his guest, who I misnamed.
00:15:40.780 I didn't intentionally misname her, but I think it's Caitlyn Collins, not the other one.
00:15:43.980 The other one's another, also like a liberal news host.
00:15:46.380 He was trying to recover from it.
00:15:49.580 He said, no, you guys are objective, but you do have your own views, right?
00:15:53.960 But the audience laughed on you guys are objective.
00:15:57.060 You guys aren't partisan.
00:15:58.260 You guys just call shots.
00:15:59.520 They call it like you see them.
00:16:02.440 The good thing about this clip is that the audience, even Stephen Colbert's left-wing audience,
00:16:10.520 knew that that's ridiculous to say that CNN is unbiased or objective.
00:16:16.580 It's good that they kind of called out the reporter.
00:16:19.080 They called out Colbert.
00:16:20.560 That's good.
00:16:20.920 The bad news is they don't care.
00:16:26.140 That's the bad news is, yeah, we all know that CNN is left-wing and that's fine.
00:16:32.640 We all know the New York Times is left-wing.
00:16:34.520 We all know that Facebook's left-wing.
00:16:35.760 We all know that Google's left-wing.
00:16:36.840 We all know that the entire media landscape, we know that the entire public square is left-wing
00:16:42.760 except for Twitter, except for X.
00:16:45.540 And that's fine.
00:16:46.540 That's good.
00:16:47.040 If they laughed and then booed CNN, that'd be one thing.
00:16:51.360 Oh, good.
00:16:51.780 Okay, they're demanding that CNN become objective.
00:16:53.600 They don't want CNN to become objective.
00:16:55.080 They like that CNN is left-wing.
00:16:58.140 They like it.
00:16:59.060 They like that the left dominates the media because they know that there is power in that.
00:17:04.200 You want to see the kind of power that the liberal establishment has?
00:17:08.200 Here's the latest Time magazine cover.
00:17:11.400 A picture of Kamala Harris, all these supposed supporters,
00:17:16.300 holding up her signs, her face like it's being etched onto Mount Rushmore.
00:17:21.720 So noble, so dignified, looking toward the future.
00:17:24.720 Her moment by Charlotte Alter.
00:17:30.260 If you read this piece, if you read the cover feature article in the New York Times,
00:17:36.760 you find out the Harris campaign declined a request to be interviewed.
00:17:42.640 Time magazine said, hey, we want to write a hagiography of you, Kamala.
00:17:46.320 And Kamala said, nah, you're not worth my time.
00:17:48.720 Screw you.
00:17:49.400 You'll write me a puff piece anyway.
00:17:52.660 And they did.
00:17:54.400 And they did.
00:17:55.420 That's power.
00:17:58.580 You don't even have, you can disrespect them.
00:18:01.280 Kamala Harris could have spit in their face.
00:18:02.920 She basically did.
00:18:04.440 Whatever, you'll promote me anyway.
00:18:06.080 We're all part of the same company.
00:18:07.300 I don't have time for you, Time magazine.
00:18:10.140 Give me my puff piece.
00:18:11.820 You make it up.
00:18:12.380 I don't care what you say.
00:18:14.260 Yes, ma'am.
00:18:15.760 Because we benefit from you being in power too.
00:18:19.300 Because we're all on the same team.
00:18:21.420 Okay.
00:18:23.280 Her moment.
00:18:25.880 The reintroduction of Kamala Harris.
00:18:28.260 That's what this is being called.
00:18:31.200 The reintroduction.
00:18:32.980 That's the most honest word in the whole article.
00:18:35.720 We know, Kamala Harris has been introduced.
00:18:37.200 She was a United States Senator.
00:18:38.280 She was the Attorney General of California.
00:18:40.220 She's been the Vice President.
00:18:41.560 She was supposed to be, the borders are.
00:18:43.140 She was supposed to be in charge of getting rural Americans connected to high-speed internet.
00:18:46.100 She didn't do either of those things.
00:18:48.160 Now she's the Democrat nominee for president.
00:18:51.080 Now she's going to be reintroduced.
00:18:53.800 They're going to make a new Kamala Harris.
00:18:55.440 Because the old Kamala Harris wasn't popular.
00:18:57.160 The old Kamala Harris got chased out of the Democrat presidential primary before the first primary vote was cast.
00:19:03.040 So that's not going to work.
00:19:05.700 Now they've got to reintroduce her.
00:19:07.140 Back then, Kamala was a little too lib.
00:19:09.340 The media wanted someone like a Biden.
00:19:11.820 But now Kamala's the girl.
00:19:13.240 All right, we've got to reintroduce her.
00:19:14.280 Yeah, Kamala's great now, guys.
00:19:15.600 Yeah, she won't talk to us.
00:19:17.760 She won't talk to anyone in the media.
00:19:18.980 But it's okay.
00:19:19.840 She's great.
00:19:20.600 We love her.
00:19:21.320 We love her now.
00:19:22.020 Everything we ever said about her, that was fake.
00:19:24.200 Now we need her to win.
00:19:26.480 And sorry to say it works.
00:19:29.540 There's a reason they do this.
00:19:30.880 You know, we laugh at the media.
00:19:32.240 The Colbert audience laughs at the supposed objectivity of CNN.
00:19:35.940 But it works.
00:19:36.680 There's a study out of Harvard.
00:19:38.600 Not that I like to cite Harvard for any proof of anything.
00:19:41.820 Celebrities Strengthening Our Culture of Democracy.
00:19:43.960 A Study on the Impact of Celebrity Engagement on Civic Participation.
00:19:47.140 The study examines what celebrities do in politics and whether or not celebrity endorsements are effective.
00:19:52.880 And you know what it found?
00:19:53.980 They are effective.
00:19:56.080 And we conservatives like to say, you know, we don't care what these Hollywood elites are saying anymore.
00:20:00.780 I'm sure I've said similar things on Fox News.
00:20:03.460 I remember that.
00:20:04.100 When I was a younger man and a little more naive, I went on and said, I think the power of these celebrity endorsements is waning.
00:20:11.420 Yeah, I don't actually know.
00:20:12.480 I don't think it is.
00:20:13.280 I think the libs still have media hegemony.
00:20:16.700 And that's important because it works.
00:20:19.500 And it really crafts public opinion.
00:20:21.400 Here's what the study says.
00:20:22.420 While some polling shows that people claim they aren't influenced by celebrity voices when it comes to politics, more rigorous evidence indicates that these voices are incredibly powerful.
00:20:31.820 For instance, nonprofits report higher rates of online voter registration or poll worker signups when a celebrity promotes these calls to action.
00:20:38.760 This potential impact is why nonprofits, candidates, and elected officials are increasingly seeking ways to engage celebrities.
00:20:45.280 Of course, if the celebrity endorsement stuff didn't work, they wouldn't do it.
00:20:51.360 It really works.
00:20:53.480 Having a media that will write you universal hagiographies, even as you disrespect them, really works.
00:21:00.460 It really helps.
00:21:01.560 Having an entire class of manufactured influencers from Hollywood who you can rely on 99 out of 100 times to endorse you and to work for you for free and to actually give you money during election season
00:21:14.760 is powerful.
00:21:16.040 It really does persuade people.
00:21:18.120 That's why they keep doing it.
00:21:21.400 Conservative doomers, you know, all these doom and gloomers, we think, oh, these, when we want to deny that elections matter, we say, oh, it doesn't matter because they'll just rig it at the ballot box.
00:21:31.420 Yeah, the libs can rig things a little bit at the ballot box.
00:21:33.840 They can take money from Zuckerberg to put ballot drop boxes that are too far away from the county clerk's office.
00:21:39.300 They can change the election process to violate even the state constitution, as in Pennsylvania, and send out widespread mail-ins.
00:21:47.060 They can fill in some of those ballot applications in a way that is obviously open to fraud.
00:21:52.260 They do all those things.
00:21:53.340 They can try to kick out the poll watchers.
00:21:54.840 They can drag out the county.
00:21:55.880 They do all those things.
00:21:57.060 I'm not denying it.
00:21:57.860 It's a problem, and conservatives need to deal with it.
00:21:59.880 But also, they persuade people, and the way they persuade people, it's not all just rigging at the ballot box.
00:22:06.920 The way they persuade people is by owning the media, owning the public square, with the exception of X, and owning the celebrities.
00:22:14.780 If the libs didn't need to do that, they wouldn't.
00:22:17.440 They wouldn't invest so much time in the celeb endorsements and the glowing media profiles and the hegemony in big tech in the public square.
00:22:24.860 That stuff really does matter, and they're very successful at it.
00:22:29.980 And if we want to win, the good news is we don't need to just try to unrig the ballot boxes or something like that.
00:22:38.100 We have to destroy their hegemony in the media and in the big tech and in the public square, and then we need to take some of that power for ourselves.
00:22:46.460 There's so much more to say.

00:23:57.000 Listen to what the voters are saying.
00:23:59.300 I am so, conservatives are sharing this clip as though it's a good thing.
00:24:04.720 They're so excited by this clip because there are black voters in Philadelphia who are furious at the policies of this administration.
00:24:11.800 And they're saying, see, look how great this is.
00:24:15.140 Look, the black voters and even in Philly, you know, black voters vote overwhelmingly for Dems.
00:24:20.140 Philly's a Democrat machine city.
00:24:22.160 And even there, they're sick of the Biden-Harris administration's policies.
00:24:26.460 I have completely the opposite reaction to this clip.
00:24:28.900 How hard has inflation hit you?
00:24:31.620 It hit me hard.
00:24:32.900 It's hitting me hard.
00:24:34.140 Who do you blame for it?
00:24:35.160 I blame the federal government at this point.
00:24:37.260 If a working class mom who works as a paralegal cannot buy a $2 bell pepper because it's now five,
00:24:45.220 imagine a mother living on a food stance.
00:24:48.760 Imagine a mother who's making minimum wage trying to feed children.
00:24:56.380 They're killing us without killing us.
00:24:59.720 If you understand that.
00:25:01.560 They're killing us without telling us they're killing us.
00:25:04.160 They're hurting people in ways that they can't help themselves.
00:25:08.160 It's either feed my child or, well, how about feed my children and I don't, but I have to go work.
00:25:17.020 Okay.
00:25:17.640 I really feel for this woman because this really happens.
00:25:22.000 The cost of groceries is completely insane.
00:25:24.660 The cost of everything is completely insane.
00:25:26.360 This administration's economic policies have been completely insane.
00:25:29.140 It has real pain.
00:25:30.560 It's very difficult.
00:25:32.140 I've seen it where a mother can't, you know, maybe doesn't eat chicken that night.
00:25:36.500 Maybe the mother has peanut butter and jelly so the kids can eat chicken.
00:25:39.560 That's real.
00:25:40.720 People who live a bougie lifestyle or who come from money don't believe that that's real.
00:25:45.020 That is real.
00:25:46.080 So you can hear tears in this woman's voice, tears in her eyes,
00:25:49.540 and you can see she's getting a little bit choked up when she's talking about it.
00:25:51.820 All that stuff is real.
00:25:53.180 She's definitely suffering.
00:25:54.520 A lot of people are suffering because of this administration's policies.
00:25:57.900 Who does she blame?
00:25:59.720 The federal government.
00:26:02.560 Who's the federal government?
00:26:04.420 Who is the federal government?
00:26:05.460 The federal government is nobody.
00:26:07.920 Not really.
00:26:08.640 It's people.
00:26:09.160 There are real people you can point to.
00:26:10.580 But as far as anyone who would answer in that way is concerned, it's nobody.
00:26:16.700 There's no one to point the finger at.
00:26:19.760 The real answer should be Joe Biden.
00:26:21.840 I blame Joe Biden, and Joe Biden is out to lunch.
00:26:25.200 Joe Biden, the lights are on and no one's home.
00:26:27.540 So I blame whoever is really running the show at the White House.
00:26:30.160 We've been told that Kamala has apparently all this prominence, that she's an equal partner
00:26:35.560 with Joe Biden.
00:26:36.160 Okay, I blame Kamala Harris.
00:26:37.340 I blame Kamala for the cost of bell peppers going up.
00:26:40.260 I blame Kamala, the borders are, for all the illegals coming across the border and screwing
00:26:44.320 up the labor market, making the cost of housing more competitive.
00:26:51.220 Yeah, I blame, that's who I blame.
00:26:55.080 That's not what she said.
00:26:56.700 I blame the federal government.
00:26:57.880 Biden's not going to get any blame.
00:27:01.660 Definitely Kamala's not going to get any blame.
00:27:04.540 Trump's not going to win Philadelphia.
00:27:07.440 They've avoided responsibility.
00:27:10.480 And they've avoided responsibility in part because this is her moment.
00:27:13.600 We're introducing Kamala Harris.
00:27:14.980 Introducing her, she's the vice president of the United States.
00:27:17.580 Before that, she was a U.S. senator introducing her.
00:27:20.680 She has been behind a lot of these policies.
00:27:23.620 No, no, no, she hasn't.
00:27:25.000 What about, blame Biden?
00:27:29.420 No, I thought Biden's not the president, right?
00:27:31.700 Aren't they, they're equal partners and everything?
00:27:33.720 Kamala's presidential authority, Joe Biden told us, in 2021, on certain issues.
00:27:38.180 Nah, forget about that.
00:27:40.440 Oh, great, we'll blame the federal government, and then they're going to elect Kamala Harris
00:27:43.200 to clean it up.
00:27:43.840 Kamala Harris comes out, Politico headline.
00:27:46.420 Kamala promises to get tough on the border.
00:27:48.420 She is currently, the borders are.
00:27:52.020 Are you kidding?
00:27:52.740 She could end illegal immigration tomorrow.
00:27:56.160 She doesn't want to.
00:27:58.100 She's had that power for three years.
00:28:00.420 She's, no, she'll do it, though.
00:28:02.640 You got to elect her first.
00:28:03.900 She's the vice president, and effectively the president.
00:28:06.660 No.
00:28:07.720 No, they avoid that responsibility.
00:28:09.700 Until I hear voters screaming that Kamala Harris is to blame, I'm not getting my hopes up.
00:28:14.160 Now, speaking of racial issues, if you want to get a job at Apple, actually, let me be more specific.
00:28:21.660 If you want to join Apple, you know Apple, like MacBooks and iPhones and stuff, Apple's entrepreneur camp, I've got great news for you.
00:28:30.920 Applications are now open if you are female.
00:28:34.940 There's an asterisk by female, actually.
00:28:37.020 I don't know what the asterisk entails.
00:28:39.260 I just got the one page.
00:28:40.260 If you're female, black, Hispanic, slash Latinx, or indigenous, then you can join Apple's entrepreneur camp.
00:28:54.160 And if you're a white man, you can.
00:28:59.680 That's it.
00:29:00.780 Because all women can do it, all females.
00:29:03.000 And it's unclear, you know, does the weird trans stuff count?
00:29:08.400 I don't know.
00:29:09.020 I'm not even getting into that.
00:29:10.140 But all the women can.
00:29:11.080 And then, as for the men, black men, Hispanic men, Latinx men, indigenous men, all women, including, there's only one group that's not allowed in.
00:29:22.320 And that's white men.
00:29:23.720 So what do we do about this?
00:29:24.940 We have to sue these people because politics is downstream of culture and everything.
00:29:31.320 But actually, the law is a tutor.
00:29:33.020 I've hit this point pretty regularly.
00:29:36.180 And the only thing that's going to get these guys to back down is if we threaten to punish them and take away their money and maybe put them in jail if they keep discriminating against white guys or anybody.
00:29:47.120 But in this case, specifically white guys.
00:29:48.980 White guys, the only group that you can legally discriminate against in the United States and that socially you're encouraged to discriminate against.
00:29:56.620 It's the only group.
00:29:57.920 It's not black people.
00:29:58.820 It's not Hispanic people.
00:29:59.820 It's not indigenous people.
00:30:01.040 It's not women.
00:30:02.520 It's not Latinx.
00:30:03.960 It's not.
00:30:04.720 It's not.
00:30:05.440 It's just white guys.
00:30:06.340 That's it.
00:30:07.220 It's not even Asians.
00:30:08.820 To some degree, the Asians catch it a little bit.
00:30:10.780 But it's basically just white guys that get discriminated against.
00:30:14.340 And white guys need to sue Apple.
00:30:16.340 And what would happen if white guys sued Apple over this?
00:30:21.140 Well, there's a glimmer of hope.
00:30:23.740 Because last year, the Supreme Court ruled in Students for Fair Admissions versus Harvard that race-based admissions policies in colleges are illegal, unconstitutional.
00:30:36.720 How had racial discrimination against white people and Asians been upheld in the past?
00:30:42.940 Well, because the Supreme Court has a strict scrutiny standard.
00:30:48.160 This is the highest level of legal review under the 14th Amendment, under the Equal Protection Clause.
00:30:54.300 And in order to pass the strict scrutiny standard, rules or laws that affect fundamental rights must be deemed to serve a compelling state interest.
00:31:04.380 And they must be written to minify their negative effects on these fundamental rights.
00:31:09.400 So it's got to have a compelling state interest.
00:31:12.460 And the Supreme Court ruled last year that discriminating against whites and Asians did not serve a compelling state interest when we're talking about college admissions.
00:31:19.580 So does that mean that Apple would lose a lot of money or be punished?
00:31:26.180 Not necessarily, but maybe it would.
00:31:31.900 But what about race-based scholarships?
00:31:35.480 Not race-based admissions to college, but race-based scholarships.
00:31:39.100 Technically, I guess they're still legal.
00:31:40.680 But if a white guy or an Asian, probably an Asian guy is easier because white guys are just popularly understood to be the worst people on earth.
00:31:47.520 And it's just, it's unfortunate, it's unfair, but that's just how our system works.
00:31:51.560 So if an Asian guy sued, though, maybe, maybe the Supreme Court would say, yeah, that's unfair.
00:31:58.260 It doesn't serve a compelling state interest to just pummel white guys into the ground and deprive them of educational opportunities and jobs.
00:32:06.820 What the libs will say is that diversity, diversity with a capital D, serves a compelling state interest.
00:32:12.900 And what diversity really means, in practice, as we see at the Apple Entrepreneur Camp and the University Admissions, what diversity means is punishing white guys.
00:32:22.760 That it is in the state's compelling interest to punish white guys and to disadvantage them throughout society.
00:32:30.860 And maybe that will hold.
00:32:33.120 The liberal judges will say that.
00:32:36.360 But maybe there's a chance some of the more reasonable, fair-minded, and conservative judges will not.
00:32:40.860 All I know is, you're not going to stop this.
00:32:45.480 You're not going to stop de jure and de facto discrimination against anyone merely by angrily tweeting about it or even by holding a rally.
00:32:55.300 You're going to change that by hitting these people where it hurts, in their pockets, and threatening them with serious legal penalties if they keep it up.
00:33:04.900 The libs are so invested in diversity and equity and inclusion, they are willing to take your kids away to get it, as J.D. Vance pointed out in an interview with ABC's John Carl.
00:33:16.840 What President Trump said, John, is that Tim Walz has supported taking children from their parents if the parents don't consent in gender reassignment.
00:33:26.680 That is crazy.
00:33:27.700 And by the way, Tim Walz gets on his high horse about mind your own damn business.
00:33:31.080 One way of minding your own damn business, John, is to not try to take my children away from me if I have different worldviews than you.
00:33:35.460 He does not sign a law allowing the state to kidnap children to change their sexual identity.
00:33:40.660 What I just explained to you, I would describe as kidnapping, John.
00:33:43.660 He has absolutely done this stuff.
00:33:45.280 It's not crazy, John.
00:33:46.400 Come on.
00:33:46.980 It's not what he's doing.
00:33:47.480 You should not be able to take people's children away from them.
00:33:51.480 And that's not what he's proposed.
00:33:52.620 If you disagree with decisions about gender reassignment, yes, he has proposed that, John.
00:33:58.380 He absolutely has.
00:34:00.060 He absolutely has.
00:34:01.780 J.D. Vance is completely right here.
00:34:03.400 Jonathan Karl is completely in the wrong.
00:34:08.220 Tim Walz made no bones about it.
00:34:10.040 He said, as governor of Minnesota, that he wanted Minnesota to be a refuge and a sanctuary for trans kids.
00:34:16.640 You're a kid.
00:34:18.100 You've got some weird sexual views.
00:34:20.380 Your state, your family don't support you.
00:34:22.440 Come here.
00:34:22.980 We want you to come to Minnesota.
00:34:24.700 We'll give you gender-affirming care.
00:34:27.140 Oh, yeah.
00:34:27.760 We'll promote all that weird sex stuff that you've been scandalized into believing.
00:34:32.260 Yeah.
00:34:32.560 Come on.
00:34:33.540 Come on over here.
00:34:34.720 Come to the big white van full of candies and puppies that we call the state of Minnesota.
00:34:39.140 That's me, Governor Walz, your future vice president.
00:34:41.920 If Kamala wins, he 100% did that.
00:34:46.580 And that is called kidnapping.
00:34:49.120 Trying to take someone's kids away because you don't believe that a man can become a woman.
00:34:54.820 You don't want to geld your son.
00:34:57.240 So the governor of Minnesota wants to take your kids away from you.
00:35:00.240 That's kidnapping.
00:35:00.980 But it's in the service of diversity and equity and inclusion.
00:35:09.340 So what are we going to do about that?
00:35:11.980 It seems to me we need strict legal penalties to punish the perverts who would do this to kids.
00:35:19.980 It seems simple enough.
00:35:22.640 I mean, it's crazy that this is even controversial.
00:35:25.480 This would not have been controversial 10 years ago.
00:35:28.440 If you try to take kids and castrate them and involve them in weird sex stuff, you should be punished by the law.
00:35:37.360 Nobody would have disagreed with that 10 years ago.
00:35:39.860 But now Aaron Sorkin says, we conservatives, some of whom still hold that view.
00:35:43.700 We're the unreasonable ones.
00:35:45.160 Okay.
00:35:46.420 The guys who brought you What is a Woman are back with the next big question.
00:35:49.640 Am I racist?
00:35:50.260 Coming to theaters September 13th.
00:35:52.460 Matt Walsh asked the question no one dares to ask.
00:35:54.500 And you will have to watch the film to find out if you really are racist.
00:35:57.980 Presale tickets are available tomorrow.
00:36:00.280 And the more tickets we sell, the more theaters will show it.
00:36:02.160 We're fighting the left with every ticket purchase.
00:36:04.120 Am I racist?
00:36:04.860 Presales start tomorrow.
00:36:06.960 Amiracist.com.
00:36:08.000 My favorite comment yesterday is from Heavy Hearts Show, who says,
00:36:13.400 Worst press secretary in U.S. history, Corrine Jean-Pierre, all due respect.
00:36:18.140 She probably is.
00:36:19.480 That's true.
00:36:21.600 Because you'll notice that when really important news comes out, the White House brings out John Kirby.
00:36:26.960 But they can't fire Corrine Jean-Pierre because the White House has made very clear that they value diversity, equity, and inclusion above all these things.
00:36:36.220 I mean, Joe Biden himself said that Kamala Harris is a diversity, equality, and inclusion hire.
00:36:41.720 He said that he used those words, okay?
00:36:43.940 Diversity, equality, and inclusion.
00:36:45.240 No one highlights this more than the vice president, Kamala Harris.
00:36:47.980 And Corrine Jean-Pierre has great job security because she is black, she's a woman, and she's a lesbian.
00:36:52.520 So, she's not great at the job.
00:36:55.980 She's got an impossible job in her defense.
00:36:58.540 So, maybe if she had a little more to work with, she would do better.
00:37:01.940 But, yeah, she's not even as good as her predecessor, Jen Psaki.
00:37:06.880 She's, if the Dems did not value all the crazy identity intersectional stuff, she would have been out of a job a long time ago.
00:37:15.020 Now, Walls is under fire right now.
00:37:16.820 There's no doubt.
00:37:18.380 And there's the scandal about the weird sex stuff with kids that he kept promoting for decades.
00:37:24.220 But there's also the stolen valor scandal.
00:37:27.040 And so, now, as the stolen valor scandal gets worse and worse and more and more clips come up of Tim Walls misrepresenting his military service,
00:37:36.280 the libs are bringing out the big guns.
00:37:38.380 I'm talking about Hillary Clinton, who I'm sure has lots of literal guns, you know, and she's waiting, and corners lurking, waiting for you.
00:37:44.880 So, Hillary Clinton comes out and says, Tim Walls served honorably for two decades.
00:37:50.100 Then he joined Congress and worked to pass a new GI Bill that helped fund the college educations of millions of veterans, among them, J.D. Vance.
00:37:56.800 Tim Walls, how dare you?
00:37:59.760 Now, this is the subtext.
00:38:00.980 How dare you accuse Tim Walls of stolen valor, of lying about his experience in a combat zone?
00:38:10.680 So say I, Hillary Clinton.
00:38:14.900 Despite her initial account of a 1996 trip to Bosnia.
00:38:19.280 I remember landing under sniper fire.
00:38:21.900 This newly released video debunks Hillary Clinton's recollection of a would-be dangerous encounter as first lady.
00:38:28.900 There was supposed to be some kind of a greeting ceremony at the airport, but instead we just ran with our heads down to get into the vehicles.
00:38:35.660 That was last week. Now confronted with new evidence, the New York senator is backpedaling.
00:38:41.080 You know, I made a mistake in describing it.
00:38:44.680 I have said many times, I have talked about this many times, that we were, you know, very much told by the Secret Service and the military that we were going into a war zone.
00:38:55.760 Clinton's campaign rival, Barack Obama, is blasting the remarks, saying they are all part of a pattern in which Clinton tries to exaggerate her role in policymaking during her husband's administration.
00:39:07.400 You know, gosh, lighten up, guys. I mean, obviously. Come on.
00:39:10.800 I say millions of words every week, and there's a lot more, you know, room for error when you're talking as much as I'm talking.
00:39:22.940 That's right. There's a lot of room. You can cut it off there. That's right.
00:39:26.060 I say millions of words every week, and at least two or three of them are true.
00:39:30.140 Of course. Yikes. Kamala rolling out Hillary Clinton to defend walls against charges of stolen valor.
00:39:40.140 Hillary, who stole valor herself infamously, so much so that Obama made it a big point of the 2008 Democrat presidential primary.
00:39:48.740 Hillary lied about her experience in a war zone.
00:39:51.560 That's exactly the kind of person that you want to attest to your integrity and your honesty.
00:39:55.940 The Clintons. So not looking good. Not looking good.
00:40:00.140 For Tim Walls. Now, speaking of corrupt politicos, I have to tip my cap to some of the most corrupt people in politics.
00:40:09.820 And that would be the Lincoln Project. And I don't tip my cap in an objective way.
00:40:15.000 What they're doing is awful, and they're showing themselves to be some of the slimiest people in politics.
00:40:21.080 But their scam is so breathtakingly successful, I have to have a grudging respect for it.
00:40:30.140 The Lincoln Project, you will recall, was founded by John Weaver, George Conway, Kellyanne Conway's husband, Rick Wilson,
00:40:39.260 a few other malcontent GOP operatives who couldn't get jobs anymore after Trump took over the Republican Party
00:40:46.280 and tried to chase out some of the rats on the ship.
00:40:49.380 So they flipped, and they started working for Democrats, and they took Democrat money to pose as the anti-Trump Republicans.
00:40:58.600 The name John Weaver, you might recall, he had to resign in disgrace because he was caught sending lewd messages.
00:41:04.360 George Conway ended up resigning, humiliated by the many scandals of the Lincoln Project.
00:41:13.340 Rick Wilson stuck it out. He's still scooping up all that money.
00:41:18.120 It's just a true basket of deplorables, to borrow a phrase from Hillary Clinton.
00:41:23.940 Really slimy swamp creature, you know, the swampy of the swampy in Washington, D.C.
00:41:31.500 Well, anyway, they're making an insane amount of money.
00:41:34.960 The Lincoln Project, according to recent filings, this is from Rob Pyre, he's got to give a little hat tip.
00:41:42.280 But the Lincoln Project has spent $437,000 in the 2024 presidential race.
00:41:50.320 The Lincoln Project has spent $11.7 million on overhead and other operating expenditures since January 1st of last year.
00:42:00.640 So these guys come out, and a lot of them, even they, even these disreputable people, got so sickened by the scam of it.
00:42:10.200 Some of them had said, okay, to keep whatever modicum of a reputation I have left, I'm getting out of here.
00:42:16.080 Rick Wilson stuck it out, but, and there are other slimy people all over it.
00:42:21.520 They say, hey, Democrats, we're the Republicans with integrity.
00:42:25.260 Yeah, us, we're traitors, and we don't really believe anything, and now we work for people who want to murder babies and trans kids.
00:42:30.360 But yeah, we have integrity in everything, you know?
00:42:33.460 We're not like those Trump people.
00:42:34.900 So anyway, give us all your money, and we'll help defeat Trump.
00:42:38.440 And then these gullible Democrats, I mean, the Lincoln Project's running ads in the most liberal media markets,
00:42:46.040 because it's all just about getting money from Dems, right?
00:42:48.220 And then they get all this money from Dems, and then they spend like two cents on ads to try to attack Trump.
00:42:55.280 And then they take all the rest of the money for themselves.
00:42:59.280 $437,000 spent on the 2024 election.
00:43:03.340 Less than half a million dollars on the election, almost $12 million on themselves, and their offices, and probably their nice new suits, and I don't know, whatever else.
00:43:13.000 Some Lamborghinis, who knows?
00:43:14.420 I don't know what they're spending the money on.
00:43:16.200 You gotta, in a way, grudgingly respect the scam.
00:43:18.880 And I applaud the scam.
00:43:20.000 I hope many more Democrats give these dirtbags even more of their money, and I hope these dirtbags go have a nice vacation in Cabo, or however they're going to spend it.
00:43:28.860 Because every dollar that these gullible Dems are giving to these crooks in the Lincoln Project is a dollar that is not being spent effectively by actual Democrat operatives,
00:43:38.040 who, because they are actually effective, are effectively worse.
00:43:42.700 Good stuff.
00:43:43.600 Thank you, Lincoln Project.
00:43:44.720 Appreciate you.
00:43:45.360 Meanwhile, speaking of large sums of money in politics, President Trump is planning to sue the Department of Justice for $100 million over the Mar-a-Lago raid.
00:43:55.220 And I love this.
00:43:57.780 Trump, according to reports, is taking legal action against Joe Biden's DOJ because on August 8th of 2022, so almost exactly two years ago, Biden's DOJ raided Trump's house.
00:44:12.300 And this was shocking, a president using the power of the state to raid the home of his predecessor and current chief rival.
00:44:22.440 Trump is alleging tortious conduct by the United States against President Trump.
00:44:33.500 Daniel Epstein, who is Trump's attorney, says,
00:44:37.880 What President Trump is doing here is not just standing up for himself.
00:44:41.500 He is standing up for all Americans who believe in the rule of law and believe that you should hold the government accountable when it wrongs you.
00:44:46.300 I love this.
00:44:47.180 I love the lawfare when it's directed against these swamp creatures.
00:44:51.640 This is really good stuff.
00:44:54.400 Because you can go out there and say, gosh, can you believe the hypocrisy?
00:44:59.120 You know, you can go out there and say, imagine if the shoe were on the other foot.
00:45:01.260 That will do nothing.
00:45:02.060 It won't penetrate.
00:45:03.060 Most voters won't even notice it.
00:45:06.900 The libs will raid his home.
00:45:08.940 The libs will prosecute him.
00:45:10.420 The libs will set the conditions to have him murdered.
00:45:14.220 And he very nearly was murdered a few weeks ago.
00:45:17.000 And we can complain about it, but all that's really going to matter is when we hit the libs where it hurts.
00:45:27.940 When there are civil and legal penalties for their actions.
00:45:33.960 So what's going to happen?
00:45:35.020 Well, probably nothing happens.
00:45:36.260 But I don't know.
00:45:36.680 We still got some conservative courts.
00:45:38.520 We still have some broadly.
00:45:40.940 We have the kind, we're basically a conservative Supreme Court for now before the libs try to undermine the third co-equal branch of government by packing the Supreme Court.
00:45:48.060 So, okay, well, we got it.
00:45:49.560 Yeah, sue him.
00:45:50.780 I hope Trump sues these people for all they're worth.
00:45:52.760 And I hope there are criminal penalties.
00:45:54.160 There almost certainly won't be.
00:45:56.500 But I hope people go to jail over this.
00:45:58.200 This is a threat to the American political order.
00:46:00.940 Biden knew that.
00:46:02.380 And as much as he knows anything, he knew that.
00:46:05.060 Got to hit him where it hurts.
00:46:07.160 I'm being told right now that there is no membrum segmentum today.
00:46:13.280 And this is deeply maddening.
00:46:17.640 I guess it's because we have the live show tonight at the Ryman Auditorium Backstage Live.
00:46:22.360 I've also been told, though, from the control room to blame Markella, which is what I will do.
00:46:27.380 The rest of the show does not continue now.
00:46:31.260 You should still become a member.
00:46:32.660 Use code NOLS, K-N-A-W-L-E-S at checkout for two months free on all annual plans.
00:46:35.700 We will see many of you live tonight at the world-famous Ryman Auditorium in Nashville, Tennessee.
00:46:40.340 And I'll see the rest of you tomorrow.
00:46:41.760 Republicans or Nazis, you cannot separate yourselves from the bad white people.
00:46:58.680 Growing up, I never thought much about race.
00:47:00.580 It never really seemed to matter that much, at least not to me.
00:47:03.260 Am I racist?
00:47:04.460 I would really appreciate it if you left.
00:47:05.840 I'm trying to learn.
00:47:06.500 I'm on this journey.
00:47:07.140 If I'm going to sort this out, I need to go deeper undercover.
00:47:13.460 Joining us now is Matt, certified DEI expert.
00:47:17.060 Here's my certification.
00:47:18.200 And what you're doing is you're stretching out of your whiteness.
00:47:20.920 This is more for you than this for you.
00:47:21.900 Is America inherently racist?
00:47:23.480 The word inherent is challenging there.
00:47:25.420 I want to rename the George Washington Monument to the George Floyd Monument.
00:47:28.560 America is racist to its bones.
00:47:30.360 So inherently.
00:47:31.040 Yes.
00:47:31.420 This country is a piece of s***.
00:47:32.480 White folks.
00:47:35.460 White trash.
00:47:35.960 White supremacy.
00:47:36.760 White woman.
00:47:37.320 White boy.
00:47:37.900 Is there a black person around here?
00:47:39.200 There's a black person right here.
00:47:40.540 Does he not exist?
00:47:43.140 Hi, Robin.
00:47:43.860 Hi.
00:47:44.220 What's your name?
00:47:45.160 I'm Matt.
00:47:45.660 I just had to ask who you are because you have to be careful.
00:47:48.720 I'll never be too careful.
00:47:50.460 In theaters September 13th.
