00:00:00.000 An abortion battle in Florida is highlighting the particular challenge, not just for pro-lifers,
00:00:05.360 but for all conservatives and Republicans in November. Florida currently bans virtually all
00:00:11.680 abortions after six weeks. If you think it's wrong to murder babies, then this law still isn't
00:00:17.800 perfect, but it's pretty good relative to many other states, which permit infanticide up until
00:00:22.620 the moment of birth. Florida Democrats, however, are trying to change all of that through a ballot
00:00:28.360 measure in November called Amendment 4, which would permit abortion all the way up to 24 weeks.
00:00:34.480 It's a measure that is unfortunately both barbaric and, like so many other pro-abortion 0.64
00:00:40.260 ballot measures in recent years, likely to pass. Because Floridians, despite voting reliably
00:00:47.000 Republican in recent years, strongly support abortion. According to Pew Research, 56% of
00:00:54.300 Floridians believe abortion should be legal in all or most cases, while only 39% say it should be
00:01:00.300 illegal in all or most cases, and 5% say they don't know. Democrats know those numbers. And while they
00:01:08.180 do sincerely want to kill more babies, they are also using the abortion issue instrumentally to get 0.85
00:01:14.640 their presidential candidate elected. The abortion issue motivates their base to show up, especially
00:01:21.640 in a year when the nominee has nothing else to run on. And what's so interesting about this issue in
00:01:26.280 this election is that the Republicans are in the opposite situation. Republicans need to defeat
00:01:32.440 Amendment 4 because it's so horrific. But the only way they're going to defeat Amendment 4 is to use the
00:01:39.280 presidential election instrumentally to get the ballot measure defeated. The presidential contest
00:01:45.380 motivates their base to show up. It's a political paradox we haven't seen before because this is the
00:01:50.320 presidential election since the Supreme Court overruled Roe v. Wade. But this year, if pro-lifers want to
00:01:57.160 secure their recent historic wins and prevent a radical expansion of abortion, they need to get voters
00:02:04.140 to forget about the whole issue. I'm Michael Knowles. This is the Michael Knowles Show.
00:02:20.320 Kamala is running on Trump's border wall. It's a new ad. That's something else. We will get to that in
00:02:33.720 one moment. First, though, PSL season has arrived. And now, look at that beautiful PSL candle. You can get

00:03:04.340 There are a lot of fights over forgetting things on the ballot this year.
00:03:08.540 Obviously, this abortion issue is really big. And you're hearing this from me. I am as pro-life as
00:03:14.780 it is possible to be. And because I am pro-life, I want to win. I want pro-life measures to succeed.
00:03:22.780 I want the pro-abortion measures to fail. And sometimes that means you got to be wise as a
00:03:28.000 serpent and innocent as a dove. And you need to take a hard look at political reality and realize that
00:03:33.360 the number of voters who are pro-life is relatively small. Certainly, the number of
00:03:40.820 voters who are consistently pro-life is quite small. And so, if we want to defend the cause
00:03:46.780 of life, we got to be crafty here. This irony for the Democrats that, yes, they are pro-abortion.
00:03:52.660 Kamala is fanatically pro-abortion. But they're also using the abortion issue instrumentally to get 1.00
00:03:57.020 all their other stupid policies passed by getting their candidate elected. And it's not a bad thing to
00:04:02.480 be crafty. It's not a bad thing to deal in political reality. If you don't deal in political
00:04:06.560 reality, you're going to lose everything, all of the substantive goods that you want to advance.
00:04:10.880 So, while we're trying to figure out how to work this ballot issue in Florida, the Democrats are
00:04:15.320 trying to work ballot issues in the swing states. Notably, the ballot issue of whether or not
00:04:20.300 Bobby Kennedy Jr. is going to appear on the ballot. So, you remember when Kennedy dropped out of the
00:04:25.900 race some days ago and said that he was going to remain on the ballot in the states that were not
00:04:33.760 up for grabs, you know, California, New York, the really Democrat states or the really Republican
00:04:38.640 states, he was going to stay on the ballot, no big deal. That's not going to affect anything.
00:04:42.780 But in the swing states, where his presence on the ballot might hand the election to Kamala,
00:04:48.360 he was going to remove his name.
00:04:49.960 Furthermore, our polling consistently showed that by staying on the ballot in the battleground states,
00:04:58.280 I would likely hand the election over to the Democrats with whom I disagree on the most
00:05:05.780 existential issues, censorship, war, and chronic disease.
00:05:11.760 Okay, so he's going to pull himself off the ballot, except the states don't want
00:05:15.940 to allow him off of the ballot. Michigan,
00:05:22.060 Wisconsin, and Colorado have denied
00:05:24.540 Kennedy's requests to be removed from the ballot. It's unclear
00:05:27.960 if North Carolina, which is a swing state, unfortunately. Kamala's 0.99
00:05:31.320 showing some promise in North Carolina. It's unclear if
00:05:35.160 Carolina's going to take Kennedy off the ballot. Now, Kennedy has 0.62
00:05:38.500 managed to get himself removed from the ballot in Arizona, Nevada, and Pennsylvania. That's good.
00:05:42.520 As well as Florida, which I guess is technically up for grabs, but it's looking pretty good for the
00:05:47.300 Republicans, Ohio, and Texas. He's also off the ballot there. But Michigan's a big one,
00:05:52.800 and Michigan has just ruled officially they're not going to let him off the ballot. Michigan has
00:05:59.560 said minor party candidates cannot withdraw, so his name will remain on the ballot in the November
00:06:05.340 election. That's a spokesman for Michigan's secretary of state. Now, the irony of all this is RFK
00:06:10.720 Jr. had to fight tooth and nail to get on the ballot in the first place. The Democrats were
00:06:15.740 doing everything they could to keep him off of the ballot when it looked like Bobby Kennedy being on
00:06:19.960 the ballot was going to spoil the election for the Democrats back when Joe Biden was still in the
00:06:23.240 race. Now that things have changed, he says, okay, I want to get off the ballot. He's got to fight
00:06:27.080 tooth and nail to get off the ballot. They're not going to let him off the ballot, but they are going
00:06:30.220 to let some minor party candidates off the ballot. They're going to force some minor party candidates 0.99
00:06:33.920 off the ballot. If they can, minor party candidates cannot withdraw. Okay, but I guarantee you they'll
00:06:41.660 let Cornel West withdraw. I guarantee you they're going to try everything they can to keep Cornel
00:06:46.120 West off the ballot because he would be a spoiler for the Democrats and he would help the Republicans.
00:06:51.940 It's ironic, and yet it's totally predictable. As the meaning of Bobby Kennedy in the race has changed,
00:06:59.800 so too the arguments for keeping him on or off the ballot are going to change from the libs.
00:07:05.480 That's why it's very, very important for Bobby Kennedy to be out there encouraging his voters
00:07:10.680 time and time again, vote for Trump. In the swing states, I am urging you, I am demanding that you
00:07:16.140 vote for Trump because the Michigan Democrats who are running the elections over there are going to
00:07:24.320 do everything they can to convince those people to keep voting for Kennedy. Why do these little things
00:07:29.600 matter? These little ballot-type initiatives matter because Kamala Harris is a weak candidate? Frontlines 1.00
00:07:39.260 just went out there to interview some Kamala supporters. Why do you support Kamala? Here's the
00:07:44.440 answer they got. What do you think was Kamala Harris's most memorable moment as VP?
00:07:50.620 I was going to say all of the memes and the interviews. I was like, we just heard dancing all
00:07:59.420 around. I'm just like, yes. I mean, when she was with, um, I think she was like making curry.
00:08:04.220 Who was she with? I know what you're talking about. Mindy Kaling. Yes. Anyways, that was really
00:08:10.400 funny. I think her most memorable moment was... I should go. I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry. I mean,
00:08:18.540 I'm not really too crazy about anything that she has, but I just know that what she does have
00:08:23.680 is actually going to work. Like Donald Trump, his campaign has been predicated along the idea that he
00:08:29.540 is going to reduce taxes, reduce inflation, and, um, reduce, uh, like regulation. And all of those
00:08:35.160 things go against, like, my ideas as to what makes a successful economic policy. In reality,
00:08:41.260 um, she stands as just the, uh, the party pallbearer or pallbearer, party standard bearer, uh, as well as
00:08:49.760 the, um, the, the thing that is the best chance of defeating Donald Trump. So sorry to say the most
00:08:55.300 coherent answer there came at the end from that fellow wearing a trans people belong shirt who has
00:09:00.700 long hair and who knows what his, uh, self described identity would be. But, but that was the most
00:09:07.240 coherent answer. And the answer was, yeah, Trump wants to reduce inflation. And that, that contradicts
00:09:13.380 my preferred economic policy. We have found the one Democrat in America who is explicitly for
00:09:21.940 inflation. Yeah. When, when the cost of goods and services is affordable, that's, that opposes my
00:09:29.400 economic policy. I want, I want Zimbabwe style $100 trillion bills to go out and buy a jug of milk.
00:09:37.000 Okay. And that was the most coherent one. You heard the first answer said, oh, the, the most iconic
00:09:41.320 moment of Kamala's vice presidency. I think it's the memes. And there are memes. They're kind of
00:09:48.140 contrived memes. Like when that singer girl said that Kamala is brat. She posted that neon green 0.99
00:09:54.520 color and she said, Kamala is brat. She's whatever that, whatever that really means. Okay. Regardless 1.00
00:10:00.560 of the meme itself, Kamala has nothing to do with that. That's just something that Kamala's supporters
00:10:06.980 are contriving to, to try to make her look cool. Or, you know, that time that she made curry
00:10:13.980 with Mindy, whatever her name is, that was so iconic. And the second person says my favorite
00:10:20.460 moment of Kamala's presidency. Uh, I got to go. I don't know. I got to go. And then the third guy's
00:10:24.680 honest and he says, yeah, no, it's not really about Kamala. She's just the pallbearer of the
00:10:29.040 Democrat party. She is. She's the pallbearer of American democracy. That's a Freudian slip where
00:10:33.100 you say one thing and mean your mother, but he says, she's, she's just a Democrat. You know,
00:10:39.400 she's not Trump. So that's why I support her. Okay. Well, if there's, if there is nothing that
00:10:44.740 even Kamala Harris's supporters can point to, to recommend her, then that means they're going to
00:10:50.140 have to, well, you know, try to imprison Trump, uh, establish the conditions and justification to
00:10:57.340 murder Trump, try to kick Trump off the ballot. That's why they're going to have to play shenanigans 0.99
00:11:01.360 with the third party candidates. That's why they're, they're going to have to do anything they can
00:11:06.360 to distract from, from Kamala's person with the exception of hard partisans. Every single
00:11:14.500 Kamala vote is explained by DEI. Well, she's just, you know, she's just her. She's just her. 1.00
00:11:22.840 She's a black woman. And I think that's really, really important.

00:12:00.180 free beacon, Robin DeAngelo, the standard bearer for the anti-racist white liberals. The woman who wrote
00:12:12.140 white fragility, she and Ibram Kendi have divvied up the pie of, of the oodles of money available. If
00:12:22.260 you're willing to shill anti-white race hustling, uh, Robin DeAngelo has just been accused
00:12:28.560 of plagiarizing the work of two scholars. And she's actually been accused of plagiarizing the work
00:12:35.340 of two scholars of color. This in her 2004 doctoral thesis, a complaint has been filed with
00:12:43.640 the university of Washington, uh, outlining 20 examples of alleged plagiarism in the white fragility
00:12:50.960 author's dissertation, whiteness in racial dialogue, a discourse analysis. Now the scholars that
00:12:58.540 she allegedly ripped off are both Asian, so they don't quite have as many, uh, special POC points
00:13:05.360 as say a black author would or an Hispanic author would, but they are still by the logic of Robin
00:13:11.420 DeAngelo authors of color. And DeAngelo says on her website, she says, one must always cite and give
00:13:20.240 credit to the work of BIPOC. That is, uh, that's not a sex thing. That's black, indigenous, and people of
00:13:26.480 color who have informed your thinking. When you use a phrase or idea you get from a BIPOC person, 1.00
00:13:34.640 credit them. And now the irony, the height of hypocrisy, this woman, Robin DeAngelo, steals from
00:13:41.780 the BIPOC and she doesn't credit them. What hypocrisy? Who could have seen this coming except for everyone?
00:13:47.720 Of course, the whole Robin DeAngelo phenomenon is plagiarism. Forget about the particular words in
00:13:58.960 her dissertation or anywhere else. The whole phenomenon of bougie white ladies making a career 1.00
00:14:06.680 out of, out of selling white guilt to other bougie white ladies, that is plagiarism. They are plagiarizing 0.99
00:14:13.600 the black power and other racial grievance activists of the 1970s. They took a look and
00:14:18.940 they saw that mow mowing the flat catchers was a pretty booming business and they wanted to get a
00:14:23.620 piece of the pie. That's what happened. The whole racial grievance industry is, is a scam in itself,
00:14:31.080 but, but specifically the thing that Robin DeAngelo is selling is a kind of plagiarism. She, she goes over,
00:14:38.600 she sees that the Black Panthers did a pretty good job shaking down people, individuals, corporations, 0.99
00:14:43.940 and governments. And she, she walked up there and she said, yeah, that's right. Down with the man,
00:14:50.160 jive turkey. Let's go. I'm with you guys. Black power. Yeah. Can I get some of that sweet money, 1.00
00:14:55.280 please? And she's done pretty well. She's made millions of dollars doing it. It's a scam. 0.99
00:15:02.420 Ideologically and philosophically, it's a scam and it's a big financial scam. And so no wonder the scammer
00:15:07.600 apparently scams people. No wonder. Turns out this thief is a thief. Now, speaking of plagiarism,
00:15:14.480 there is an even more egregious example of plagiarism involving white people and people
00:15:21.200 of color. In this case though, this would be a woman of color stealing from a white man, 1.00
00:15:25.880 or some would argue an orange man. This would be Kamala Harris stealing Trump's signature policy 1.00
00:15:32.740 in her new campaign ad. Kamala Harris has spent decades fighting violent crime. 0.99
00:15:38.940 As a border state prosecutor, she took on drug cartels and jailed gang members for smuggling
00:15:44.420 weapons and drugs across the border. As vice president, she backed the toughest border control
00:15:50.060 bill in decades. And as president, she will hire thousands more border agents and crack down on 1.00
00:15:56.340 fentanyl and human trafficking. Fixing the border is tough. So is Kamala Harris.
00:16:02.480 I'm Kamala Harris and I approve this message.
00:16:05.580 So you heard all of those promises. If you were just listening, what you didn't see is a picture of
00:16:10.280 Trump's border wall, the border wall that Biden and Harris on day one set out to tear down.
00:16:16.280 Kamala Harris is now campaigning on Trump's border wall. And she's campaigning on getting tough on the
00:16:21.560 border. And she's campaigning on cracking down on the drugs pouring over the border. And she's 1.00
00:16:25.840 campaigning on all the things she could be doing right now. She could be doing all these things
00:16:33.460 right now. I know she's not the president. She's she's only the vice president. She's only the
00:16:37.520 number two in the government. But on this issue, Joe Biden, who is ostensibly the president, I don't
00:16:43.960 know if he's practically the president. He's sitting on a beach in Delaware right now and has been for
00:16:47.720 two weeks. But on this issue specifically, Biden in 2021 gave Kamala Harris presidential power. 1.00
00:16:55.840 He said, when she speaks with me, when she speaks on the border crisis, she speaks for me.
00:17:01.100 So, of course, the first question that any Republican, any interviewer should ask, though
00:17:07.780 the interviewers won't ask this because they're on on Harris's side, maybe the first question that
00:17:12.040 Donald Trump should ask in that one debate Kamala has agreed to is, if you want to do all these
00:17:17.420 things, why aren't you doing them right now? Why haven't you done them yet? What have you been
00:17:21.340 doing for three years? And it's even more than pointing out a flip flop. It's pointing out
00:17:27.300 an obvious lie because she could do all these things right now and she's choosing not to
00:17:31.700 because she doesn't really believe them. Of course, the second option Republicans have,
00:17:40.300 and I think we should pursue that line of attack. But the second option is then hit her from the left. 0.95
00:17:44.720 Hit her from the left. Her base hates the border. They want open borders. They hate 0.62
00:17:50.600 ICE. They want to abolish ICE and immigration enforcement. They believe that no human being
00:17:55.680 is illegal, including criminals. They believe that America is stolen land and the poor indigenous
00:18:02.540 Guatemalans and Mexicans and Hondurans and Nicaraguans and Ecuadorans and anyone really from
00:18:08.700 Latin America, other than Cuba, because those guys vote Republican. And the Colombians are a little 1.00
00:18:12.140 sus because they sometimes vote Republican too. But all the other ones are really good and they
00:18:15.900 all have a right to come into America because this is stolen land that we took from the Iroquois and 1.00
00:18:19.820 the Patuxet or whatever. And so the left believes all of this stuff and they've been campaigning on
00:18:26.300 this stuff for years. And that has been the official policy of the Biden administration. So hit her from
00:18:31.480 the left. Wow. Wow. Can you believe this? You elect Kamala. She's going to start deporting all of the
00:18:37.660 the sweet dreamers, all of the poor undocumented Americans. Hit her on the left. Start suppressing 1.00
00:18:42.940 that vote on the left in the same way that the Democrats get Republicans to do that.
00:18:47.640 Doesn't matter that the attack is incoherent. We are just pursuing an Alinsky-ite tactic,
00:18:55.820 which is forcing the other side to live up to their own standards. And they're not going to be
00:19:00.960 able to do that. This is, in fact, my point on abortion. You know, look at what Kamala is able 0.99
00:19:06.880 to do. With a straight face, she's able to say Kamala Harris is promising to get really tough on
00:19:12.720 the border. That thing that she's sworn for years she won't do. Her vice president right now has said
00:19:18.920 if the Republicans want to build a 25-foot wall, he's going to go find a 30-foot ladder. He said this
00:19:24.620 on CNN. And I think seeing a plan that's out there, talking about it with folks, knowing that
00:19:31.300 he's not going to do anything. You know, he talks about this wall. I always say, let me know how high
00:19:35.560 it is. If it's 25 feet, then I'll invest in the 30-foot ladder factory. That's not how you stop this.
00:19:40.380 30-foot ladder factory. Walls don't work. That's Kamala Harris's vice president. 1.00
00:19:45.720 So on an issue like abortion, I don't think Republicans should lie. I don't think we,
00:19:51.000 I think it's dangerous and it's immoral to come out and say, oh, we support abortion.
00:19:55.580 Just vote for us. But don't we support abortion? I think it's dangerous because one, it might 1.00
00:19:58.960 lead Republicans then to supporting more pro-abortion policies. But it's a lie and
00:20:02.920 lies are intrinsically wrong. And I don't think we should do anything unjust or immoral. But at the
00:20:06.480 very least, we can speak in a vague way. If the Democrats can go out there and they're so serious
00:20:11.380 about winning elections that they're going to outright lie and adopt Trump's popular policies on the
00:20:15.460 border. At the very least, what Republicans can do, if we really want to advance pro-life policies and get
00:20:19.980 our guys elected and advance all the other policies we want to, is play it cool on controversial
00:20:25.140 issues. That's what the Democrats are doing to great avail. Maybe we can learn a lesson from them.

00:21:42.620 interviewer is who's going to do the one interview with Kamala Harris thus far, and Kamala's not even
00:21:47.660 going to give a solo interview. She's got to tag team it with Governor Tim Walz, her running mate. 1.00
00:21:54.220 Some Democrats are pointing out that all presidential candidates do a sit-down interview
00:21:58.400 with their running mate. This is nothing. This Republican attack on Kamala for tag teaming the
00:22:02.640 interview with Tim Walz is disingenuous. Trump did the same thing. Biden did the same thing.
00:22:07.120 Romney did the same thing. Yeah, it's true. It's true that presidential tickets will often do a
00:22:12.840 joint interview together. The difference between Kamala and all those other people, including Joe
00:22:16.820 Biden, is that those other presidential nominees had also done solo interviews. Those other
00:22:23.960 presidential nominees had proven that they could sit down alone and answer tough questions, an important
00:22:28.680 aspect of the job of the president. And then they sat down to showcase their ticket.
00:22:34.600 Kamala can't sit down. She can't survive an interview on her own. Even getting soft questions 1.00
00:22:42.380 from a friendly network, from an interviewer who hates her opponent, even then she doesn't feel
00:22:47.860 capable of answering simple questions. That's why she's got to call in Big Daddy Tim to bail her out. 1.00
00:22:53.940 And these will be softball questions. Just a little trip down memory lane. Dana Bash,
00:23:00.480 who is the CNN reporter who's going to be interviewing Kamala and Tim Walz. Here's a
00:23:06.040 little compilation of her views on Donald Trump put together by the Daily Wire.
00:23:11.460 President Trump has said repeatedly that he could have gotten the hostages out without giving anything
00:23:16.800 in exchange. What do you say to that? What do you say to President Trump now? Former president.
00:23:21.620 Why didn't he do it when he was president? I think that was what they call a mic drop moment at the end
00:23:33.040 there. Why didn't he do it when he was president? What a historic moment. As you well know, the Trump
00:23:38.880 administration negotiated the withdrawal agreement from Afghanistan with the Taliban and the State
00:23:44.680 Department. A conditional agreement thing that is playing out all over conservative media. I just
00:23:49.840 want to do a little bit of record correcting. There's no there's not record crime right now.
00:23:56.860 Number one, Harris was put in charge, as you said earlier, of combating the roots of immigration. 1.00
00:24:02.660 She was not and is not the borders are. OK, so Dana Bash, just any opportunity to hit Trump, 0.91
00:24:10.080 even to say when Joe Biden made some incoherent babbling remark and then he sort of doddered
00:24:15.440 off the screen. So that's a mic drop moment. That's that's what you're going to get from this CNN
00:24:20.180 debate. And there's no indication that that Kamala is going to be doing any solo interviews is
00:24:27.660 they're going to do everything they can to protect this woman from her own words.
00:24:35.040 At the same time, they're going to be turning up the anti-Trump propaganda. We got another one just
00:24:43.060 this week. The new headline from the fake news is that J.D. Vance has has said that teachers,
00:24:52.920 schoolteachers without biological kids really disturb him. And when I saw this headline,
00:25:00.260 that's the headline everywhere. Here it is. I'll show you the People magazine.
00:25:03.160 J.D. Vance said he's really disturbed by teachers who are not parents in resurfaced 2021 audio.
00:25:09.980 Zillion other headlines just like that. And I noticed that the quote here, it was it was one
00:25:15.260 quotation mark. It wasn't two, meaning it was a kind of paraphrasing. It wasn't a direct quote.
00:25:22.700 And I said, OK, well, if they're paraphrasing, it's not a direct quote. I bet this is a total lie.
00:25:26.400 Let me find the audio. What did J.D. Vance really say?
00:25:28.840 And I think our conservative idea is that parents and families should determine what
00:25:33.780 children were and what values they are brought up with. You know, so many of the leaders of
00:25:38.360 the left, and I hate to be so personal about this, but they're people without kids trying
00:25:42.420 to brainwash the minds of our children. And that really disorients me and it really disturbs
00:25:47.340 me. Randy Weingarten, who's the head of the most powerful teachers union in the country,
00:25:51.140 she doesn't have a single child. If she wants to brainwash and destroy the minds of children, 1.00
00:25:55.940 she should have some of her own and leave ours the hell alone. 1.00
00:25:58.640 There we go. Did J.D. Vance ever once in that clip, this resurfaced shocking clip,
00:26:05.860 did he ever once say, teachers without kids really disturb me? Not once. He never said anything
00:26:11.980 like that. He spoke about one particular person who's not even a teacher, by the way, who's just
00:26:17.040 the head of a teacher's union, Randy Weingarten. And he said, it disturbs me that this woman who did a 0.73
00:26:23.640 specific thing, she forced American children out of school. She personally destroyed the education 1.00
00:26:30.680 of American students for years, refused to let the kids come back after the COVID pandemic,
00:26:37.480 after the big scares were over, refused to follow the science and the evidence, refused to put
00:26:41.420 kids' education first, screwed up the education of countless children in America.
00:26:46.980 That this woman who is, who is effectively running education policy in America more than anyone else
00:26:54.620 in the country, including the secretary of education, that this woman doesn't have any skin 1.00
00:26:58.760 in the game. She doesn't have any experience. And so he says, look, if she wants to traumatize kids
00:27:03.760 and scandalize kids, she can have some of her own and do that. That'd be very sad for those kids, 1.00
00:27:07.380 but at least it wouldn't then affect millions of American school children. That's what he's saying.
00:27:11.500 And that becomes, J.D. Vance criticizes the way that the teacher's union president
00:27:18.800 injured, seriously harmed millions of American children becomes J.D. Vance mocks childless school
00:27:31.860 teachers. He didn't do anything of the kind. Total lie. But it doesn't matter. They won't even be
00:27:39.960 called out for libel here, because in the headlines, they acknowledge they're just kind
00:27:45.600 of paraphrasing him. This is just a kind of interpretation of what he said. It turns out
00:27:48.900 to be totally wrong. But the most absurd propaganda of late. Forget about Dana Bash on CNN. Forget
00:27:53.880 about this nonsense you're saying about J.D. Vance. This one, I hope you didn't just finish your
00:27:58.900 breakfast. Your stomach is going to be upset when you hear this one. Opinion piece, Wall Street
00:28:05.440 Journal. Doug Emhoff. This is Kamala Harris's husband, the second gentleman. Doug Emhoff,
00:28:13.680 modern day sex symbol. Excuse me. Sorry. I'll just try it. Doug Emhoff, modern day. So
00:28:22.920 can you even get that phrase out? Emhoff, this is the subheader. Emhoff is secure enough with his own
00:28:31.660 masculinity to sometimes prioritize his wife's ambitions over his own. What a hunk. So says
00:28:38.140 Catherine Rample. I'll just read you one little paragraph here. This is no joke. This is the
00:28:45.580 second sentence, third sentence of the piece. Move over, Ryan Gosling. The modern female fantasy 1.00
00:28:52.360 is embodied by the man who might soon become our first gentleman. Emhoff appears to be a genuine
00:28:58.460 mensch with an impressive career. He's smitten with his wife and supports her ambitions, as is
00:29:02.880 obvious from his convention speech and their sweet interactions on the campaign trail. But most
00:29:07.120 important for this sexy sobriquet, Emhoff is secure enough with his own masculinity to sometimes prize
00:29:14.700 his wife's ambitions over his own what a hunk. Whatever his previous marital drama. So they had to
00:29:19.360 acknowledge, even the Washington Post in this ridiculous puff piece had to acknowledge that
00:29:23.740 Doug Emhoff was already married. Kamala is the second wife and he, you know, I'm not revealing
00:29:32.200 private sins. This has all been widely reported. His marriage fell apart in part because he impregnated
00:29:37.580 his babysitter while he was married and, you know, was just apparently a lousy husband. But they write
00:29:43.340 this off. It says, whatever his previous marital drama, Emhoff is the working woman's ideal partner. And
00:29:50.620 that, that line, I think, is the key to the whole piece. Because I don't want to just make fun of
00:29:55.920 this ridiculous idea that, and I'm not making fun of Emhoff's looks or anything else, but
00:30:01.380 nobody seriously considers this man a sex symbol. Okay. Politicians in general are not considered,
00:30:11.080 are generally not sex symbols. And I don't, maybe Ronald Reagan was probably the last one. I don't,
00:30:15.440 no, I don't, I don't think, Bill Clinton, I guess maybe. Trump for that. Okay. Some, but many not
00:30:21.820 quite. Certainly not Doug Emhoff. Whatever his previous marital drama, Emhoff is the working
00:30:28.840 woman's ideal partner. This I think is probably true. I, he, he's obviously not a great husband.
00:30:35.740 Given what he did in his marriage, not, not the ideal husband. I don't think anyone would,
00:30:40.640 would seriously say that with a straight face, but it might well be the case that he is the
00:30:45.100 ideal partner for women who prioritize their professional careers above all else.
00:30:52.940 Yeah. You're, you're not going to get father knows best if, if you are Kamala Harris, that's,
00:30:57.820 that's probably true. If you have ordered your life like Kamala Harris and you've, you've just put
00:31:02.220 your political ambitions and your professional career above everything else. I'm not saying,
00:31:06.620 you know, you have a job or you care about your professional work, but I mean, you, you know,
00:31:09.700 that's it. You are, you have presidential style professional ambitions. Yeah. You're not going to get,
00:31:14.880 father knows best. Probably not. You're probably more likely to get a guy like this who would not
00:31:21.620 be most women's first choice for a husband, but Hey, he'll at least, you know, keep quiet and sit 1.00
00:31:27.100 at home while you go out and do your job. That is probably relatively attractive to women who want 1.00
00:31:35.520 to put career above everything else, but it's not attractive. And I think even those women would 1.00
00:31:41.720 admit that they'd still rather have Brad Pitt or father knows best or Gary Cooper or something like
00:31:46.200 that. But they'll have, they'll have to settle for Doug Emhoff because Doug Emhoff is the kind of guy,
00:31:51.660 the Doug Emhoff type, the modern day sex symbol. You're right. Maybe it's modern day sex symbol.
00:31:56.320 He's the kind of type that is probably the best thing you could settle for if you take modern sex 0.99
00:32:05.220 politics seriously, but that's not attractive. I don't think most people want that. I don't think
00:32:13.300 most women want that. I don't think most women want to put their career above everything else. I think 0.99
00:32:17.020 actually you're seeing now day after day, more and more women expressing regret, feeling that they've
00:32:22.040 been duped by modern culture that told them don't get married, don't have kids, just go work in the
00:32:27.800 widget factory. All that matters is the widget factory. Men and women are exactly the same. Women 1.00
00:32:33.120 should engage in casual sex in the same way that men do. Oh, you'll feel great about it. If, you know, 0.85
00:32:37.760 you accidentally get pregnant, if you contract that awful sexually transmitted disease known as a 0.86
00:32:42.280 beautiful human life, just go kill it through abortion. That'll make you happy. That'll make you 1.00
00:32:45.980 fulfilled. And it's not, we had a woman call into the show last week who said, you know, I ended up
00:32:51.340 having an abortion and, you know, I take responsibility for that choice. And this is how I was
00:32:56.120 also led to make that choice. And it's, it's tortures me. It tortures me to this day. Yeah.
00:33:04.440 Right. Doug Emhoff might be the modern day sex symbol. That is not a praise of Doug Emhoff. That is a
00:33:12.840 condemnation. That is an indictment of the modern day. Maybe we need to change the way that we think
00:33:19.200 about these things. There's so much more to say. First though, go to responsibleman.com. Gentlemen,

00:34:27.120 My favorite comment yesterday is from Slap My Bass 3825, who says, to think Taylor Swift thought Trump was
00:34:35.100 trouble when she walked in. But then she realized, I'm the problem. It's me. All the haters are going
00:34:42.640 to hate, hate, hate, hate. So shake it off. Yeah, I think that's fair enough. I think that's a pretty
00:34:46.580 good take. Speaking of attraction, a woman has gone viral. I think a woman. I had a tip to our friend
00:34:56.100 over at Libs of TikTok for describing the problem, not just of transgenderism, which is so, so 0.99
00:35:03.840 overexposed, not just of the LGBT movement broadly, but the real challenges of gender fluidity.
00:35:13.780 Here are some examples of my gender fluidity being a little...
00:35:16.640 Number one, feeling like a guy and visiting my relatives. I don't know if you know this,
00:35:22.520 but I'm not out to my family. Therefore, when I'm feeling like a guy, but I have to present
00:35:26.660 super feminine in front of my relatives, it makes me feel icky inside. Also, gender dysphoria is 1.00
00:35:32.540 a bit. Number two, when suddenly my gender decides to change right before bed. I'll just be vibing 0.90
00:35:40.340 and then I'll be like, bind a time. No, Michael, it's not bind a time. It's bedtime. Bind a time.
00:35:47.960 Number three, in the freaking middle of the day. I'll be walking all happily
00:35:52.360 along. And then suddenly, boom, gender change. No, no, no. Now is not the time, Michael. 0.83
00:35:57.960 I have a day to run. I don't need this dysphoria right now. Most of the time, I won't have the 0.79
00:36:03.040 resources or capabilities to reduce the gender dysphoria because I didn't bring along with me 0.78
00:36:07.260 a hat or a binder or makeup if it's the other way around. So it's a... It's a real...
00:36:12.620 Okay. So she's referring to herself, her other personality as Michael. And when she says binder,
00:36:18.900 she's referring to tools to flatten her breasts and... So the most basic way to look at this is 0.90
00:36:28.420 that this girl is suffering from severe mental illness and probably severe confusion over human 0.79
00:36:35.200 nature and probably some spiritual distress. But there's one little key here that she said that
00:36:42.920 gives you an insight into, I think, really all of the weird sex stuff, the gender fluidity and the
00:36:48.420 transgenderism and the LGBT element and all of that. She says she's trying to go to bed.
00:36:55.080 And then this person, this other personality of hers, Michael, in an old cartoon, you might see this
00:37:02.000 as a devil on your shoulder, says binder time. No, no, no. It's not time for you to go to bed. 0.77
00:37:07.540 It's time for you to stay up and engage in a kind of sexual fantasy. And she said, no, I just want to
00:37:13.180 go to bed. But then that little devil on her shoulder, sorry, that split personality of hers, 1.00
00:37:19.100 Michael, says binder time. No, no, no. Engage in this kind of sexual behavior. And it reveals that 0.97
00:37:26.680 all this stuff at a very basic level is a sexual compulsion. This is something that she is drawn to
00:37:35.740 do, that she is tempted to do against her rational will. She's saying, oh, it's a real B-I-T-C-H. 0.69
00:37:41.700 I really, all this stuff, gender dysphoria, it's a real B-I-T-C-H. Doing the binders and the this, 1.00
00:37:45.600 and it's a real B-I-T-C-H, you know? It is, right? Because your rational will says, I just want to go
00:37:51.040 about my life normally. But then these sexual compulsions and temptations are taking you over.
00:37:57.400 In the same way, my friend Andrew Klavan says that every man has two drinks and a wink away from
00:38:01.500 ruining his life. Because if you're sitting at a bar and you've had a few and a woman looks over
00:38:05.500 and winks at you, you might be tempted to go and sleep with her. Cheat on your wife, maybe.
00:38:11.220 That's against your rational will, but it's something that people are tempted to do as a
00:38:14.380 sexual compulsion. Same could be said of any of this stuff. Porn, cross-dressing, or binding,
00:38:22.200 or whatever, all of these things are just compulsions. And so she's probably inadvertently
00:38:28.240 admitting how to view this thing. There's a very good book by Dom Lorenzo Scupoli, which is called
00:38:35.420 The Spiritual Combat. He says, you know, with certain temptations, you really can face them
00:38:39.880 head on, and you look them right in the eye, and you fight them. With sexual temptations,
00:38:44.000 you just got to run away. Just get out of there. And people used to know this. There was colloquial
00:38:48.880 advice. If you're hanging around, I don't know, let's say you're hanging around the bar, and there's
00:38:53.200 a cute gal who walks by, and you're really not trying to go pick her up. Think about baseball.
00:38:58.640 Go take a cold shower. But get out of there. And then do something. Go to bed, in this case. This
00:39:05.500 girl wants to go to bed, and she's drawn by a sexual compulsion. Just go to bed. Just get away 1.00
00:39:10.680 from it. It's not a real part of your identity. It's not a real anthropological fact about human
00:39:19.080 nature. It's not a meaningful ideology that will lead to your flourishing. It's just a temptation.
00:39:25.060 Temptation. And not everyone has that temptation. Relatively very few people, though a growing
00:39:28.840 number of people, I guess, especially in Gen Z, have this temptation to gender fluidity, or to
00:39:33.560 any kind of weird sex stuff. But it's just that. It's just a temptation. You can just fight it as
00:39:39.920 you would any other temptation. There was some advice last week that comes from the first epistle of
00:39:45.400 John, which is he identifies three temptations. The lust of the eyes, the lust of the flesh, and the
00:39:52.140 pride of life. And traditionally, there's just real nuts and bolts kind of ways to deal with
00:39:55.780 that. Lust of the eyes, you know, covetousness and avarice. Well, give charity. Give alms.
00:40:01.420 Lust of the flesh, fast. Just eat less food. It just kind of works. We're body and soul, and it just
00:40:07.780 kind of works. And pride of life, pray. You know, take yourself into eternity. That's it. Just basic
00:40:13.880 stuff. This poor girl, who's obviously tortured by this, the modern culture, all the way up to the 0.99
00:40:20.780 president of the United States and the Democrat nominee for president say, yeah. They're there
00:40:24.520 like the little devil on the shoulder. Yeah, put on the binder. Yeah, that's right. Call yourself
00:40:28.220 Michael. Yeah. Oh, let's go. Tim Walls is saying, yeah, come to Minnesota. Leave your family. Come to
00:40:32.780 the windowless white van of the Midwest. We affirm transgenderism here. But this girl's saying, I 0.58
00:40:38.060 really don't want to. It's a real hassle. It's a real B-I-T-C-H. You don't need to live that way.
00:40:42.700 You can, you're not the first person to deal with temptation. You're not the first person to deal
00:40:47.700 with disorder desires. Just, you can avail yourself of the wisdom of the ages. No wonder that the left
00:40:52.140 wants to deny the wisdom of the ages, wants people to forget about it, wants us to imagine what can
00:40:57.100 be unburdened by what has been, also known as perennial wisdom. Now, speaking of relations
00:41:05.040 between men and women, I mentioned that this debate between Trump and Kamala is going to happen. 0.95
00:41:13.220 I predicted that it would happen. I said, Trump's not serious about pulling out of the debate. This is
00:41:17.600 sort of the deal negotiation stuff. And, you know, I hate to tell you that I told you so,
00:41:22.280 but I was right. Trump posted on True Social. I have reached an agreement with the radical
00:41:29.060 left Democrats for a debate with comrade Kamala Harris. It will be broadcast live on ABC Fake
00:41:34.160 News, by far the nastiest and most unfair newscaster in the business, on Tuesday, September 10th in
00:41:38.320 Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The rules will be the same as the last CNN debate, which seemed to work
00:41:42.500 out well for everyone except perhaps crooked Joe Biden. The debate will be stand-up, meaning I guess
00:41:47.320 they won't have chairs to sit down. And candidates cannot bring notes or cheat sheets. We have also
00:41:52.320 been given assurance by ABC that this will be a fair and equitable debate and that neither side
00:41:56.360 will be given the questions in advance. No Donna Brazile. Remember, that was the
00:41:59.880 former head of the Democrat National Committee who was then working for one of the left-wing news
00:42:05.780 channels who rigged the election, the primary debate for Hillary against Bernie Sanders.
00:42:11.060 Harris would not agree to the Fox News debate on September 4th, but that date will be held open in case
00:42:14.840 she changes her mind or flip-flops as she's done on every single one of her long-held and cherished
00:42:18.540 policy beliefs. A possible third debate, which would go to NBC Fake News, has not been agreed
00:42:23.880 to by the radical left. God bless America.
00:42:25.600 So it's all just a reframing. And notice Scott Adams, the creator of Dilbert, made this great point when
00:42:36.620 he was psychoanalyzing Trump in 2016. He said, one thing Trump does really well is he talks beyond the
00:42:41.740 sale. He talks beyond the sale. So it's not, you know, if he were selling you a cell phone, he wouldn't
00:42:50.020 say, hey, do you want to buy the cell phone? He'd say, cool. So how many cell phones do you want
00:42:53.940 to buy? Six or seven? And you want an iPad on top of that and a computer? Okay, I'll get you the
00:42:57.940 package with the computer and the iPad and the phone. And so he's saying, no, no, no, I don't
00:43:00.760 want all that. I'll just take the phone. So he's talking to you beyond the sale. That's what he's
00:43:04.860 doing here to Kamala. He's saying, you know, okay, we agreed to this debate, even though it's going
00:43:08.880 to be totally rigged for her. And, you know, she's going to, she hasn't agreed to the Fox News
00:43:13.360 debate, but maybe she'll flip-flop like she always does. And anyway, by the way, there's going to be a
00:43:16.640 third debate on NBC. NBC is terrible too, but we're already, we're talking about the third debate.
00:43:20.960 What do you mean talking about? She just barely agreed to the first debate and she explicitly 0.96
00:43:24.420 has not agreed to the second debate. He's already talking about the third debate. The whole thing is
00:43:28.240 about a reframing. Kamala was trying to frame this as Trump running away from a debate. Now that framing
00:43:34.840 has been totally switched. If Kamala could have gotten out of that one debate, I think she probably 1.00
00:43:40.480 would have. Now there's no way for her to get out of that one debate. And even as rigged as ABC News 0.98
00:43:45.820 likely will be, I'm not saying that Trump is the greatest orator since Pericles. I, you know,
00:43:52.660 that would be overstating the case, but he's a much better debater than she is.
00:43:57.360 And she has much more to lose from this debate than he does. Now I'm so excited. I have a guest
00:44:03.320 coming on in this member room segmentum. That would be Stephen Kendrick, the Kendrick brothers.

00:44:28.040 Republicans are Nazis. You cannot separate yourselves from the bad white people. 0.82
00:44:32.840 Growing up, I never thought much about race. Never really seemed to matter that much. At least not to
00:44:37.180 me. Am I racist? I would really appreciate it if you love. I'm trying to learn. I'm on this
00:44:41.000 journey. I'm going to sort this out. I need to go deeper undercover. Joining us now is Matt,
00:44:48.920 certified DEI expert. Here's my certifications. What you're doing is you're stretching out of
00:44:54.240 your whiteness. This is more for you than this for you. Is America inherently racist? The word
00:44:58.020 inherent is challenging there. I want to rename the George Washington Monument to the George Floyd
00:45:01.980 Monument. America is racist to its bones. So inherently. Yeah, this country is a piece of
00:45:06.660 white folks. White trash. White supremacy. White woman. White boy. Is there a black person 1.00
00:45:12.920 around? What's a black person right here? Does he not exist? Hi, Robin. Hi. What's your name?
00:45:19.200 I'm Matt. I just had to ask who you are because you have to be careful. Never be too careful.
00:45:23.200 They gonna say you racist. Buy your tickets now in theaters September 13th. Rated PG-13.
