Planned Parenthood is offering free abortions and vasectomies at the Democratic National Convention, according to a new report from the group's Great Rivers Branch. What does that have to do with babies? And why should it matter?
00:06:16.960Oh, right, because he doesn't matter anymore.
00:06:18.560Because he's effectively not the president anymore.
00:06:20.680Because now the nomination is going to Kamala Harris, whom we are told they're retconning all of this, is an important part of this administration.
00:06:29.200It's basically, you know, two for one.
00:06:30.660Kamala and Joe running things for the past three years.
00:09:50.460I'm not going to read the column word for word.
00:09:52.100If you want to read the New York Times, which I don't suggest, you can do it yourself.
00:09:55.680He opens up, he says, I'm pro-life, but I'm voting for Kamala.
00:10:01.340Already off the bat, he's saying, look, I've got bona fides on the right.
00:10:03.920I'm pro-life, and I know it's so great, but I'm voting for Kamala.
00:10:06.700Because Trump has moved the party away from Reaganism.
00:10:09.840Now, first of all, Ronald Reagan was president 40 years ago, and the man's been dead for 20 years.
00:10:14.680And I think it's good to let people rest at a certain point.
00:10:18.060We're not going to go dig up the corpse of John Adams, are we, and say, okay, the federalist platform of 1800, that's what we run on.
00:10:25.760No, political circumstances change, and politics is about applying eternal principles to changing, constantly changing political circumstances.
00:10:32.580But the irony of saying Trump moved the party away from Reaganism is that that's not even true.
00:10:36.920Trump's slogan is a slogan he took from Ronald Reagan, make America great again.
00:10:41.160Trump's view on illegal immigration is basically Reagan's view.
00:10:45.260Reagan said illegal immigration is illegal.
00:17:20.340You know, he's always been personally very nice, but he's just completely lost the plot.
00:17:24.720And there are a handful of hardcore never Trumpers who just hate this guy personally,
00:17:31.120who are making ridiculous arguments that can be swatted down with a sentence or two.
00:17:35.320To bend over backwards into pretzels to support Kamala Harris, the most radical left-wing presidential nominee we have ever had in American history.
00:17:45.180Now, speaking of sitting down and talking to people, in the latest episode of Michael And, I had the honor of sitting down with Captain Sam Brown, a military hero and Purple Heart recipient.
00:17:56.380His military convoy went up in flames after he made a daring move to try to help some of his compatriots.
00:18:05.320Sam shared his incredible journey of courage and resilience from surviving life-threatening injuries on the battlefield to now running for a Senate seat.
00:20:02.840The delta that you're seeing right now is Trump does better with males by about 10 points.
00:20:07.620But where this giant shift in August has come is with the female voter.
00:20:10.900Frank Luntz pointed this out in his polling.
00:20:12.860He's down 10, 12 points at least with females.
00:20:15.540And they're going to come out in much bigger numbers than they previously would have if Biden were the candidate.
00:20:20.540If you talk about these economic issues, if you talk about, remind folks that he's running against the most liberal and most unpopular vice president in history.
00:20:29.340That has now laid out the worst economic plan ever laid out by a Democrat candidate.
00:20:34.440Even Obama's team is panning this as a disaster for America.
00:20:38.660So she then picked her own vice presidential candidate, which is also one of the most liberal, progressive governors in the country that has huge issues in terms of supporting public safety.
00:20:47.880All of these things are lining up for a huge Republican win.
00:21:22.500And does he seriously think, this is the bigger point.
00:21:25.260Does he seriously think that any other Republican running, had any other Republican gotten the nomination, that the Democrats would not be doing the exact same thing to that person that they're doing to Trump, successfully even damaging their poll numbers?
00:21:39.460Remember when milquetoast Mitt Romney came out and the libs successfully convinced people that Romney wanted to put black people in chains, that he assaulted homosexual kids in school, chopped their hair off,
00:21:53.520that he wanted to torture his family dog.
00:22:04.400Okay, you really want to look at the strength or weakness of Donald Trump.
00:22:08.320Look at how Kamala is reacting to him.
00:22:10.280The only good parts of the Kamala Harris campaign and the only parts that are getting plaudits and really catching on are the parts of the campaign she is stealing from the Trump campaign.
00:22:21.380There's so much more to say first, though.
00:27:07.140In touch, more so than many other Republicans, with ordinary Americans who don't, you know, spend their lives at the Chamber of Commerce and, you know, swilling Chablis.
00:27:18.660Anyway, this guy, very impressive, very articulate.
00:27:22.940The best knocks they have on him are that he, that what?
00:27:27.140That he, I don't even know what the attacks are.
00:27:29.240That he made fun of the childless cat lady caricature that everybody makes fun of.
00:27:34.080Not even the individuals, just like a caricature.
00:27:36.680That he, he wore a blonde wig at some party in college.
00:27:40.720I think they were going after him for that.
00:27:42.100And then they had to make up something about a couch because there's actually, there's so little to attack this guy on that they have to make it up.
00:30:28.780Because to do that, you would have to unwind the, the extremely radically liberal premise that is now part of our law and part of our civil rights law.
00:30:37.860Which says that men and women are for all intents and purposes exactly the same.
00:30:41.800You would have to, you'd have to get rid of that premise.
00:30:43.860Does that sound like a, a Trump operative pushing Project 2025, I don't think those, that phrase showed up anywhere in there, saying that men and women shouldn't be the same under the law?
00:30:54.420Now, I, I do say that men and women are not for all intents and purposes exactly the same.
00:31:00.320And that it's actually a pretty recent change to our civil rights law that we treat men and women as exactly the same.
00:31:08.620Because for instance, men and women today for now, well, actually, I'm not so sure if this is even permitted anymore.
00:31:15.980But until very recently, men and women were allowed to have their own bathrooms.
00:31:20.100So women were not forced to use the bathroom with men.
00:31:23.040Women were not forced to change at the public pool with men.
00:31:25.560And the reason for that is that men and women are different.
00:31:30.280Liberals, the Biden-Harris administration have done everything they can to force men into the women's bathroom and to force men into your daughter's changing room at the public pool.
00:31:39.620But I think, call me old-fashioned, I think little girls should not be forced to change in front of men.
00:38:14.620It also makes me more excited for this debate.
00:38:17.220When Kamala, look, that was obviously scripted.
00:38:20.360That was at a rally in Raleigh, North Carolina.
00:38:26.180She totally left herself vulnerable to that kind of attack from Trump.
00:38:29.960And this is the advantage Kamala has in the race is that she's claiming the benefits of the incumbency, but she's trying to distance herself from the baggage of the incumbency, and she's running in that way as a challenger.
00:38:43.760But that's also her disadvantage because a challenger campaign has to run against the status quo and promise to do something new in the future.
00:38:54.940So when she runs against the status quo, food's up 50%, this kind of product at the grocery store is up 30%, she's running against herself.
00:39:11.780Now, speaking of women who have done very bad things, shifting gears away from politics for a second, there's a woman who's been charged Matthew Perry's death.
00:39:21.960Matthew Perry, sitcom star from the 90s, he was on Friends, had a drug problem his whole life, and he died.
00:39:28.760And the cause of death was acute ketamine overdose, though ostensibly he was taking the ketamine to try to get off other drugs.
00:39:37.620And anyway, this lady who goes by the ketamine queen has been charged.
00:39:43.980As America faces the worst drug crisis we've ever faced before, this massive opioid fentanyl crisis, fentanyl pouring across our open southern border.
00:39:53.660The border's open because Kamala Harris wants it to be open and has left it open.
00:39:57.440And as that happens, people, everyone in this country, at the very least knows someone who's been affected by the fentanyl crisis.
00:40:06.780And more likely, this has been going on so long, more likely you know someone who died or who suffered an overdose because of it.
00:41:12.520It's hard, you know, it's tough out there on the streets or whatever.
00:41:14.940No, these people are now, and maybe this wasn't always true, but now, after so many years of this fentanyl crisis where you don't know, one puff on a joint.
00:41:24.700When I was a kid, one puff on a joint, you'd be fine.
00:41:27.840You'd probably cough and look foolish, but you'd be fine.
00:41:30.360Now, one puff on a joint, you could die because so many drugs are laced with fentanyl, which can just kill you after one puff or one little pill or one little anything.
00:41:38.400So, these drug dealers, I don't care how stupid they are, they know that fentanyl is a major problem.
00:41:45.420They know, and sometimes they're even consciously aware that it's in their product.
00:42:12.300The GOP platform should be, we're going to put drug dealers in prison for a much longer time.
00:42:17.720When you see these particular cases, especially in this case, the ketamine queen is a white lady.
00:42:23.780When it's a black person, then there's this racial issue added on to it, which both parties want to pander about.
00:42:29.380But when we see this, we say, oh, we like Matthew Perry, he's a nationally beloved figure, and so this lady who was in any way involved in his death, she needs to go to jail.
00:42:40.200We love the non-famous people who have been killed by drugs, too, okay?
00:42:45.680And we need to punish the drug dealers who kill the non-famous people, too, no matter what one's ideology suggests.
00:42:54.220Now, speaking of centrist and even liberal policies from the right, President Trump is catching some flack from the right because he's come out and he said, look, we need to get really, really tough on illegal immigration so that we can have better legal immigration.
00:43:11.240Basically, we're going to drill baby drill, we're going to get the energy prices down almost immediately, and we're going to close the border, and we're going to get the crooked ones out, the bad ones out, and we're going to let a lot of people come in because we need more people, especially with AI coming and all of the different things, and the farmers need, everybody needs.
00:43:28.820But we're going to make sure that they're not murderers, killers, drug dealers, and the kind of people that we have largely coming in right now.
00:43:35.720Okay, a lot of people who are immigration restrictionists don't like this answer from President Trump because the problem with migration is not just that you have these criminals coming over.
00:43:47.180Well, they're all criminals if they're coming over illegally, but that's not the only problem.
00:43:50.900Going back to Aristotle, we read that immigration poses major challenges to republics because people just have different cultures, you know,
00:44:00.240and it's difficult to assimilate people, and people maintain these kind of group identities for a long time, and it turns out diversity usually is not actually the strength of polities.
00:44:10.400That's the view of classical political philosophy.
00:44:13.140And then modern liberal philosophy denies reality on so many things, including the nature of a man and a woman, that we now say endless mass migration is good, as long as they're good people.
00:44:27.960The problem is that a country is more than just an idea.
00:44:31.400It's a people, and people develop habits and customs over generations, over centuries.
00:44:38.480And you can't just replace one people with another group of people.
00:44:41.000So this has irked some people who are immigration restrictionists.
00:44:44.860However, the reason I wouldn't be too harsh on it is that view, Trump's view on immigration, basically it comes down to illegal bad, legal good, is probably the furthest right view that is politically acceptable today.
00:45:02.160I'm not saying it's the ideal view, though practical politics is usually not about the ideal.
00:45:06.880But that is, I don't know, do you think someone could run on severe immigration restriction, we're just not going to let people in, and win an election?
00:45:18.320It might be a good policy, it works pretty well in the early 20th century, but it probably wouldn't work.
00:45:23.400So I can't be angry at Trump for not doing something that would be politically dead on arrival and prevent him from winning.
00:45:32.540Though liberals are attacking J.D. Vance for articulating the further immigration restrictionist view, this is the new clip going around that they're using to smack Vance over the head.
00:46:17.280You had higher crime rates, you had these sort of ethnic enclaves developing, you had inter-ethnic conflict in the country where you really hadn't had that before.
00:46:28.060And one of the cool things that we did in the 1920s is we just sort of slowed down immigration a little bit.
00:46:33.500We let those sort of populations who had come to the country as new citizens really incorporate themselves into the broader American fabric.
00:46:41.860That obviously was turned on its head in the 1960s with some of the things we did with our immigration laws.
00:46:46.740I'm a descendant of two of those groups that he mentioned from around that time, the Irish and the Italians.
00:46:55.680He's saying, look, the Irish and the Italians, they brought some crime.
00:47:37.340With mass migration, you don't get that.
00:47:39.740And it's a proof that if you support restricting immigration, as I do, as J.D. Vance is articulating here, as many conservatives do, it's not about hating some group.
00:47:50.380It's not about I don't like the Tibetans or whatever.
