00:00:37.580 Reuters is reporting that ABBA of Mamma Mia fame has joined some 30 musical artists

00:00:43.720 demanding that President Trump stop playing their music at his rallies.

00:00:48.240 Now, I don't doubt that liberal musicians don't like Trump,

00:00:52.280 but I also don't trust establishment news reporting.

00:00:55.240 So I decided to take a look at who's on the list.

00:00:58.620 First on the list, Prince.

00:01:01.980 So I immediately began to doubt this whole story because I recalled that Prince has been dead for eight years.

00:01:09.180 Then we have Adele, R.E.M., Neil Young, all checks out.

00:01:13.740 Queen, the main guy's been dead for decades, but the other guys are around.

00:01:17.620 Brian May's a big lib.

00:01:18.800 Okay.

00:01:18.980 Leonard Skinner, hold on a second.

00:01:21.800 Not only did three of them die in a plane crash almost 50 years ago,

00:01:25.560 but the last surviving original member died last year.

00:01:29.180 So there is no Leonard Skinner that is still alive.

00:01:32.520 Then we have right after that, David Bowie.

00:01:35.200 David Bowie also died eight years ago.

00:01:37.560 Kenny Rogers, he's been dead for four years.

00:01:39.680 How did any of these people demand that Trump stop using their music?

00:01:45.880 But then it hit me.

00:01:48.500 These people are all campaigning from beyond the grave,

00:01:52.480 which is exactly the way that so many Democrats vote.

00:01:57.760 I'm Michael Knowles.

00:01:58.480 This is The Michael Knowles Show.

00:01:59.300 Welcome back to the show.

00:02:19.800 I have a headline here that I'm sorry to read to you.

00:02:30.860 First, though, the fall is here, baby, and you've got to go to thecandleclub.com.

00:02:35.640 I'm going to light my delicious autumnal PSL candle with a new little lighter I got this weekend.

00:02:42.500 I went to Louisville with the family, picked up this very swanky Bucky's lighter.

00:02:47.480 Bucky's lighter to say goodbye to summer, Labor Day trip.

00:02:51.140 We're now getting into PSL season, baby.

00:03:21.680 Speaking of voters, when we turn to living voters,

00:03:24.780 there's some very good news for Republicans.

00:03:28.320 Republicans are leading Democrats in voter registration in Pennsylvania.

00:03:31.840 This is according to Axios, which is a left-wing outlet.

00:03:35.080 On Tuesday, this last Tuesday, Republicans added 19,127 new voters to their rolls in July.

00:03:43.300 Democrats only added 17,495.

00:03:47.020 So it's close, but usually the Democrats are way better at this stuff than we are.

00:03:50.900 The Republicans are doing very well in Pennsylvania, which is a must-win state.

00:03:56.480 Overall, we're outpassing the Dems by about 7,000 new registered voters, according to the state.

00:04:04.520 This is the first time in 15 years that the GOP is leading Dems in Buck County.

00:04:12.560 This is according to the Philadelphia Inquirer.

00:04:14.800 So, you know, we all make the joke.

00:04:16.880 It's not even so much a joke that the Democrats are really good at winning the votes of dead people

00:04:22.220 and non-citizens and ineligible voters, meaning, you know, felons and things like that.

00:04:28.260 But they are pretty good at that.

00:04:29.780 And what really matters is not even so much who votes, but who counts the vote.

00:04:33.660 You got to get all your people to go out there and vote.

00:04:37.200 That's very important.

00:04:38.040 And the Republicans are doing a pretty good job, at least in Pennsylvania, on that.

00:04:40.860 But then we need to have an army of lawyers. 0.98

00:04:43.120 We need to have an army of poll watchers. 0.99

00:04:45.100 We need to keep the pressure up, a lot of media, to make sure that pipes don't burst in the middle of the night,

00:04:50.300 that the counting is not blocked out from scrutiny.

00:04:55.280 You know, it's something that FDR joked with LBJ about.

00:04:58.940 Two Democrats who were presidents who were fairly corrupt in their own respective ways.

00:05:04.360 We got to make sure that we vote and that we get the votes counted.

00:05:08.100 So there's very good news on this front, turning to Washington, D.C.

00:05:11.540 Mike Johnson, Republican Speaker of the House, might attach something called the SAVE Act to a short-term spending bill.

00:05:20.700 So the SAVE Act was proposed by Chip Roy, good conservative Republican out of Texas.

00:05:26.440 Chip Roy's SAVE Act requires proof of citizenship to vote.

00:05:31.040 Simple, simple as.

00:05:32.320 The federal government is going to run out of money.

00:05:35.880 The federal government is always on the brink of running out of money.

00:05:38.380 The federal government will shut down on September 30th if Congress does not pass a stopgap spending bill.

00:05:45.540 This happens all the time, and the Democrats bully Republicans into giving up everything they want

00:05:49.940 because they say that the Republicans are going to be blamed for the shutdown.

00:05:53.060 And the media will blame the Republicans for the shutdown, and maybe that will convince some low-information voters.

00:05:59.520 Okay, all of that's true.

00:06:00.580 So then the Republicans cave, and we get nothing, and the Democrats get everything they want,

00:06:03.540 and it's a perpetual crisis, and the Democrats exploit that crisis.

00:06:06.900 They never let one go to waste.

00:06:09.340 This is a brilliant idea.

00:06:13.180 This is a brilliant idea.

00:06:14.360 The only thing Republicans should be adding to the stopgap spending bill is the SAVE Act. 1.00

00:06:22.160 The only ask that we should not ask for cuts to the Department of Education,

00:06:27.800 although we probably should cut that department.

00:06:29.460 We shouldn't ask for a brand-new immigration bill to go.

00:06:33.600 We shouldn't ask for some new change to our Ukraine policy.

00:06:37.820 We shouldn't ask for any of that.

00:06:39.700 Not because those are not worthy goals, but because we don't want to muddy the waters here.

00:06:44.860 Republicans should make this very simple.

00:06:46.600 Okay, Democrats, we'll get you through a short-term spending bill so the government doesn't shut down.

00:06:52.680 We have one request.

00:06:55.280 Make sure that only citizens are voting.

00:06:57.960 It's right before a presidential election, so that's it.

00:07:02.380 And force the Democrats to say yes or no on that issue alone.

00:07:08.320 If you start adding in another issue about the border or Ukraine or the economy or the administrative state or whatever,

00:07:15.800 then the Democrats are going to say, no, this was too much.

00:07:19.000 We can't abandon our allies in Ukraine or whatever.

00:07:21.320 We can't abandon our allies at the Department of Education.

00:07:24.620 It gets too muddy.

00:07:26.120 Make it very simple.

00:07:27.140 The Democrats want non-citizens to vote.

00:07:29.220 That's one reason that they flood the country with foreign nationals and have allowed millions and millions of people in recent years to come into the country.

00:07:34.800 And then even beyond that, they think that their mere presence in the country and the children they have will lead to a permanent electoral majority.

00:07:42.180 But they also, they literally want non-citizens to vote.

00:07:45.080 And they want voters who are today ineligible to start to be eligible.

00:07:48.840 Because the Democrats do very well among foreigners and felons and the dead. 1.00

00:07:54.980 So, I love it.

00:07:56.800 Don't worry.

00:07:58.820 Yes, the media will try to blame a shutdown on Republicans.

00:08:01.260 But if it's simple, if it's clear enough, the Republicans will be able to say, look, we had one simple ask.

00:08:07.160 Let's let only citizens vote.

00:08:09.420 You wouldn't do it.

00:08:10.140 So, it's the Democrats who shut down the government.

00:08:11.900 That's pretty easy to sell.

00:08:13.500 Well, also, because if we don't secure our elections, if we're not willing to expend political capital to secure our elections, then, yeah, we're probably going to lose elections.

00:08:23.280 If the Republican fear is, well, look, we can't fight with the Democrats here because then the government might shut down and we might be blamed for it and then we might lose the election.

00:08:32.260 Yeah, well, if non-citizens are voting, you're going to lose the election too. 0.98

00:08:34.680 So, might as well go down swinging, guys.

00:08:36.780 And I don't think you'll go down.

00:08:37.900 I think this is actually a very winnable issue for the GOP.

00:08:42.540 Now, part of the reason I think that is the Kamala team is getting nervous.

00:08:49.340 Kamala tweeted this out over the weekend.

00:08:52.000 You know, they've been bickering over this debate.

00:08:55.320 Trump agreed to a debate with Joe Biden.

00:08:57.560 He won so decisively that Biden is out of the race.

00:09:01.460 Kamala comes in.

00:09:02.220 Kamala insists on the same debate terms that Trump agreed to with Biden.

00:09:05.660 Trump said, look, I didn't agree to any debate with you, Kamala, but okay, if you really want it, I'll accept those terms.

00:09:10.120 And then Kamala all of a sudden comes in and says, well, I want to change the rules now.

00:09:13.440 I want to change the rules somewhat so that they benefit me even more than the previous rules would have benefited Joe Biden.

00:09:20.140 So, here's what she says.

00:09:22.240 Donald Trump is surrendering to his advisors who won't allow him to debate with a live microphone.

00:09:28.800 You recall in the debate, the microphone is muted while the other person is talking.

00:09:33.620 If his own team doesn't have confidence in him, the American people definitely can't.

00:09:38.220 We are running for president of the United States.

00:09:40.640 Let's debate in a transparent way with the microphones on the whole time.

00:09:46.100 This is the clearest evidence yet that Kamala is really scared.

00:09:54.000 Because she's trying to prod him like a bully does in the schoolyard. 1.00

00:09:58.820 Oh, yeah, you're too chicken to give me everything I want. 0.97

00:10:02.080 Yeah, that's what it is. 0.95

00:10:02.880 You're not a man if you don't, for no reason, give me every single thing that I'm asking for.

00:10:08.200 What, huh?

00:10:09.380 Why would he do that?

00:10:10.940 The rules worked out pretty well for him last time.

00:10:12.780 By the way, he agreed to the rules when everyone believed that they would benefit the Democrats.

00:10:17.480 But why? 0.93

00:10:18.340 Well, you're just too chicken. 0.92

00:10:19.680 You're afraid of your advisors. 0.98

00:10:21.380 This is an absurd accusation on its face.

00:10:23.620 Kamala's advisors don't trust her to speak to anyone, including the friendliest reporters.

00:10:27.940 The one sit-down interview she's had since she got the nomination,

00:10:31.400 she had to tag team it with her teddy bear, Tim Walz.

00:10:36.400 Nobody believes Kamala wrote that tweet.

00:10:39.140 There's the proof.

00:10:40.420 That's all the proof you need that this is an absurd accusation.

00:10:44.080 Say what you will about Trump.

00:10:45.360 The man writes his own tweets.

00:10:48.420 Kamala didn't write that.

00:10:49.580 That was some advisor who wrote.

00:10:50.600 That was some staffer who wrote that.

00:10:53.280 Kamala doesn't write her own tweets.

00:10:55.180 She doesn't write her own speeches.

00:10:56.460 Very few people do.

00:10:57.100 I doubt she edits them.

00:10:58.900 Kamala doesn't give press conferences. 1.00

00:11:02.300 Kamala doesn't sit down for solo interviews. 1.00

00:11:05.560 Kamala doesn't agree to multiple debates. 0.99

00:11:09.860 Only the one on the friendliest network that she can find.

00:11:13.720 Donald Trump's scared.

00:11:15.140 No, lady, I think you're scared.

00:11:16.440 I think that's why you're trying to prod him like you guys are in third grade right now.

00:11:19.600 That's why I think it's fabulous that Trump accepted the debate.

00:11:23.780 It was a game of chicken.

00:11:25.020 It was a game of chicken when Biden did it.

00:11:26.820 Biden proposed that debate because he was declining in the polls and he had to show that he was strong.

00:11:30.940 And he was hoping that Trump would say no and Trump called his bluff and Trump destroyed him.

00:11:36.000 I think the same thing is happening here.

00:11:37.520 I'm glad Trump is calling Kamala's bluff.

00:11:39.400 Can't wait to see the debate.

00:11:41.800 There's so much more to say.

00:11:42.920 First, though, go to expressvpn.com slash Knowles.

00:11:46.120 The problem with these huge tech companies, they don't just want your money.

00:11:50.620 They want to know everything about you.

00:11:52.500 Shadowy data brokers are making a killing by compiling detailed profiles of your online activity

00:11:57.600 and selling them to corporations that want to control you with targeted ads.

00:12:01.220 They are not selling a product.

00:12:03.200 They're selling you.

00:12:04.180 I guess you are the product.

00:12:05.460 Well, here's the good news.

00:12:06.700 You don't have to let them.

00:12:08.340 There is a way to keep your browsing history truly private.

00:12:11.000 It's called ExpressVPN.

00:12:12.360 I use ExpressVPN because one of the easiest ways for these data vultures to track you is through your device's IP address.

00:12:18.720 It's like a digital fingerprint that also reveals your location.

00:12:21.980 But with ExpressVPN, I know my IP address is hidden by encrypting 100% of my network traffic,

00:12:26.400 making it that much more difficult for data brokers to monitor, track, and monetize my online activity.

00:12:31.600 Not to mention, ExpressVPN works on all devices.

00:12:35.600 My phone, laptop, tablet, you name it, ExpressVPN has me covered.

00:12:54.040 Kamala is not looking great on the issues.

00:12:58.660 When this debate happens, it's going to be tough to find issues on which Kamala's views are more popular and her record is more impressive. 0.94

00:13:08.520 We've heard in recent weeks that Kamala wants to tax unrealized gains, meaning you invest in your 401k, say.

00:13:23.160 And some years it goes up a little bit, some years it goes down a little bit.

00:13:26.040 But if it goes up, as it currently stands, you don't need to pay anything on that because you haven't actually made any money yet.

00:13:32.200 You don't have any cash.

00:13:33.180 It's just kind of numbers on a computer screen.

00:13:34.760 You've got money out there in the market.

00:13:35.820 But Kamala wants to force you or at least force people above a certain wealth threshold to sell their investments in order to pay taxes to the government. 0.95

00:13:46.180 Kamala has really not said boo on the issue because she knows that it's a really touchy issue.

00:13:52.320 However, we've just gotten confirmation that this is what the Harris campaign is talking about because her economic advisor, Bharat Rama, went on TV on CNBC.

00:14:03.000 So it's a relatively friendly network to defend this policy.

00:14:06.780 Unrealized gains, taxing unrealized gains just doesn't seem fair in any sense of the word.

00:14:12.280 In the very best sense, if you are taxing unrealized gains, all you're doing is pulling forward the taxes that would be paid later when someone actually sells the stock.

00:14:21.160 Look, I think that this reaction to unrealized gains is a little funny given that I bet that the majority of people watching right now are already paying a tax on unrealized gains.

00:14:30.020 It's called a property tax.

00:14:31.120 Property tax.

00:14:31.420 When the value of your home goes up.

00:14:33.080 That's an old.

00:14:33.760 It's a use tax.

00:14:34.480 When the value of your home goes up, you pay higher taxes even if you don't sell your home.

00:14:38.780 Your value of your home never moves the way the stock moves, the way something else moves.

00:14:42.520 That's always the go-to answer.

00:14:44.140 It's also property tax is a use tax.

00:14:46.500 You're paying for the schools.

00:14:48.580 You're paying for emergency services.

00:14:50.360 Those are things that make absolute sense.

00:14:52.340 And sure.

00:14:52.740 And all the revenue that comes in from these unrealized gains taxes and the other taxes in the Harris plan are going to go to creating what she calls more opportunity.

00:15:01.120 It's to make sure that every newborn born in this country gets $6,000 using the services.

00:15:06.880 Well, look, you're arguing that this is some sort of foreign concept that's completely unknown.

00:15:11.820 It's probably unconstitutional.

00:15:13.600 It's probably and it was never in anyone's intent to tax.

00:15:18.740 It's not an income tax.

00:15:19.900 And it's never going to happen.

00:15:23.000 Yikes.

00:15:23.780 That's CNBC.

00:15:24.800 That isn't the Daily Wire.

00:15:25.980 That isn't the Blaze.

00:15:26.840 That isn't Fox News.

00:15:27.760 This is a network that is at the very least friendly to the left.

00:15:31.760 And they just they eviscerate this guy for defending the Harris.

00:15:37.880 And before it was a Harris plan, it was a Biden plan because Kamala doesn't have any original ideas at all to tax unrealized gains. 0.97

00:15:46.300 And so this is you're going to hear the rejoinder, which is, well, what about property taxes?

00:15:53.500 Property taxes are a tax on unrealized gains.

00:15:55.600 But as the CNBC hosts point out, it's apples and oranges.

00:16:00.240 When you're paying property taxes, you're paying for use.

00:16:04.380 You're paying for the school district.

00:16:06.460 You're paying for the local community services.

00:16:09.160 You're paying for you're not you're not paying because in a six month period, your house jumped 20 percent.

00:16:16.100 And so now you've got to go sell some other kind of property to go make up the unrealized gain.

00:16:21.240 And by the way, next year, your house might depreciate.

00:16:23.600 But also that was their point during during this brutal segment said your house doesn't move in value the way that a stock might.

00:16:31.500 And so then the next thing you're going to hear, which didn't come up in this CNBC interview, is that this this unrealized gains tax, it's not going to affect the middle class.

00:16:40.040 It's not going to affect ordinary investors.

00:16:41.600 It's going to affect affect only the billionaire class, only the super wealthy who have X amount of money in equities, say. 0.95

00:16:48.820 Even if that's true, this this policy is still completely idiotic because it will force be like rich people don't just have cash stuffed in their mattress. 0.68

00:17:01.420 OK, we probably have this I don't have this image. 0.97

00:17:04.380 You don't have this image, but I guess the libs have this image of of the wealthy being like rich uncle penny bags from Monopoly.

00:17:10.340 And he's just got dollar bills coming out of his pocket.

00:17:12.680 And that's not how it works.

00:17:14.120 When you have money, you invest it in things.

00:17:16.680 You invest it in companies.

00:17:17.680 You invest it in treasury bills.

00:17:19.580 You invest it in all all sorts of gold.

00:17:21.640 I don't know, whatever.

00:17:22.060 And so you don't have access to all of that capital.

00:17:26.920 If under the Harris plan, every single year, the CIA, the CIA, the CIA is probably going to knock on your door, too. 0.97

00:17:33.960 But the IRS is going to come knock on your door and say, money, please, that is going to force people at whatever wealth threshold it is to sell off their investments, which is going to crash the economy every single year in a predictable way, in a stupid way.

00:17:47.980 It's not going to even probably increase revenue to the government, because if you keep destroying the economy every year as a matter of national policy, probably you're not going to be producing quite as much.

00:17:57.740 So the plan is shockingly radical, as you heard even CNBC journalists point out.

00:18:05.740 It's probably unconstitutional.

00:18:08.120 No one has ever seriously suggested this before. 1.00

00:18:10.940 It's shockingly radical and completely idiotic. 0.99

00:18:15.560 And I think that sums up the Kamala campaign really well. 1.00

00:18:20.940 Shockingly radical, much more radical than any Democrat nominee that we've seen in history.

00:18:27.960 Someone who takes the sacramental view of abortion.

00:18:30.420 This is the daughter of a Marxist economist, a fairly prominent Marxist economist.

00:18:35.200 This is a woman who campaigns on the most extreme left-wing policies. 1.00

00:18:40.860 When she was in the Senate, she was to the left of Bernie Sanders.

00:18:43.760 But also, completely incoherent. 0.99

00:18:49.640 Completely incompetent. 0.98

00:18:52.800 It's one thing. 0.94

00:18:53.420 There are ideologues who are really smart.

00:18:57.520 You know, I think of like Herbert Marcuse, father of the new left.

00:19:01.280 That guy, extremely radical, but very intelligent.

00:19:04.560 And within his domain of expertise, quite competent.

00:19:06.960 But Kamala Harris, forget about all the crazy ideology. 1.00

00:19:11.200 Point me to a single accomplishment.

00:19:14.840 What has she ever done?

00:19:18.400 She's basically not done anything.

00:19:20.560 In as much as she has done things, they haven't gone very well.

00:19:24.020 And then, of course, you look at her recent record in the Biden-Harris administration.

00:19:27.800 Everything they touch turns to ash.

00:19:29.660 It's all the radicalism, all the extremism, with none of the fruitfulness of it.

00:19:39.420 With none, there's not, I suppose radical policies in principle could produce good results.

00:19:44.320 She has never produced one.

00:19:45.920 Which leads to President Trump's new nickname for her.

00:19:48.980 The new nickname, he's batted around a few.

00:19:51.480 To Comrade Kamala.

00:19:55.580 President Trump floated this in a Truth Social post.

00:19:59.280 And I've held off commenting on Trump's nicknames for Kamala.

00:20:02.460 I felt he was workshopping.

00:20:03.720 He was figuring it out.

00:20:04.740 You know, they did swap the Democrat nominee, and then Trump got shot in the head.

00:20:08.120 So I figured, oh, let's give him a few weeks to work this one out.

00:20:12.020 Comrade Kamala, I really like.

00:20:15.520 My colleague, Mr. Walsh, suggested at Backstage Live,

00:20:18.780 have Kami Kamala or Kamila or something.

00:20:22.840 You know, other people have suggested it too.

00:20:24.780 Something tying her to extreme leftism.

00:20:27.380 But it didn't quite, I liked the substance of it, but it didn't quite land for me.

00:20:33.600 Comrade Kamala does.

00:20:35.160 And I was trying to think, why does Comrade Kamala work for me

00:20:37.460 in a way that Kami Kamala does not?

00:20:40.140 Because it's more precise, and it plays more on sense memory.

00:20:45.640 And then this got me thinking, maybe I'm overthinking Trump's nicknames,

00:20:48.140 but I don't think I am.

00:20:50.460 It got me thinking of a lecture by Jory Graham, who is an American poet.

00:20:54.920 She is a Harvard professor.

00:20:56.860 She holds the chair at Harvard that Seamus Heaney, the late, great poet, once held.

00:21:02.240 She gave a lecture on description, and she was explaining why

00:21:05.640 Walt Whitman is a bad poet, but Wallace Stevens is a good poet.

00:21:10.680 And she recites these lines.

00:21:11.940 One line from Whitman, Song of Myself, which is,

00:21:14.000 The Sniff of Green Leaves and Dry Leaves.

00:21:18.320 And she points out that line, The Sniff of Green Leaves and Dry Leaves,

00:21:20.740 it doesn't evoke any, I don't know what green leaves it is.

00:21:24.440 Is it a marijuana leaf?

00:21:25.700 Is it a pine leaf?

00:21:26.700 Is it a maple leaf?

00:21:27.520 Is it a tobacco leaf?

00:21:29.140 I don't know.

00:21:30.000 That doesn't give me any sensory information.

00:21:32.700 And she compared that to a line from Wallace Stevens, who writes,

00:21:36.560 In autumn, when the leaves made sharp air sharper by their smell.

00:21:41.320 In autumn, when the grapes made sharp air sharper by their smell.

00:21:46.820 That gives you a real picture.

00:21:48.440 You can kind of get the temperature.

00:21:50.020 You can kind of get the smell.

00:21:51.300 You can kind of, it's just much clearer.

00:21:53.740 It gives you a sensory experience.

00:21:55.480 It's a line from a postcard from the volcano.

00:21:59.680 Trump is a poet.

00:22:03.460 I know Media Matters is already waiting to mock me for making this point.

00:22:08.420 But I've been making this point since 2016.

00:22:10.600 Ever since Trump used the phrase, make America great again,

00:22:15.560 which I pointed out is really beautiful poetic diction.

00:22:18.460 It's firm, strong, Saxon language.

00:22:21.400 It gives you a picture.

00:22:22.260 Then all of the nicknames, low energy Jeb.

00:22:27.160 It just creates a picture for you.

00:22:28.720 It's very, very evocative. 0.66

00:22:31.800 Even Lion Ted and Little Mark, crooked Hillary.

00:22:34.560 It creates a picture.

00:22:35.760 It's rather precise.

00:22:38.100 The man, like him or not, this man has a great command of poetic diction.

00:22:43.720 So Kami Kamala, I don't know.

00:22:45.560 Is Kami like a college fashionable communist?

00:22:49.520 You know, some like bougie white girl who doesn't like her dad? 1.00

00:22:52.080 Or are we talking about Fidel Castro?

00:22:53.840 You know, are we talking about some hardened communist guerrilla radical?

00:22:57.700 I don't know.

00:22:58.180 It doesn't, I don't have a picture of it.

00:23:01.160 But comrade Kamala.

00:23:03.160 Now you're picturing, I don't know, someone in like a gray hat with a hammer and sickle on it

00:23:08.380 with a little bit of an accent like Boris and Natasha.

00:23:10.600 It's very good.

00:23:11.300 It's very good.

00:23:11.740 I think we've landed on the right one.

00:23:13.220 Comrade Kamala, I'm in.

00:24:37.600 The mailbag is coming up on Friday.

00:24:39.800 And if you want to send in a mailbag question, two ways to do it.

00:24:44.360 There's the written mailbag and the voice mailbag.

00:24:46.600 Either way, you go to the Daily Wire.

00:24:48.700 You go to dailywire.com.

00:24:49.720 You click on the watch button.

00:24:52.200 Then you go to my show.

00:24:53.380 You click on my show.

00:24:55.820 You click on the submitted mailbag question.

00:24:59.520 Okay.

00:24:59.840 Then you can either type it in there or you can record an audio question.

00:25:05.640 You can do it on any app that you use to record audio.

00:25:07.860 And you just attach that as a file.

00:25:09.800 All I will ask you is keep the questions to under 60 seconds.

00:25:14.580 Some of you people, you send me your life story in an audio book that is 12 hours long.

00:25:20.140 I can't play that on the show.

00:25:21.340 Less than 60 seconds.

00:25:22.540 It's got to be sent it in.

00:25:23.860 We'll get to it on Friday.

00:25:26.540 Speaking of sense memory, a headline out of the Daily Star,

00:25:32.080 Burning Man attendees unveil the truth of uncomfortably moist orgy dome.

00:25:39.500 Burning Man is not a festival for the faint-hearted and for good reason.

00:25:42.640 Attendees of the crazy festival unveiled some steamy traditions in the orgy dome tent.

00:25:47.220 I'm not going to read the rest of this article,

00:25:49.420 either privately or publicly on this show.

00:25:53.300 It's a family show.

00:25:56.560 But there's a great lesson to be learned, even just from that headline.

00:26:01.740 I know a lot of Burning Man types.

00:26:05.740 I know a lot of Burning Man types, meaning the type of people who go to Burning Man.

00:26:09.380 And I know people who literally go to Burning Man and have gone to Burning Man a number of times.

00:26:13.360 The people who go to Burning Man are, they're people who would call themselves seekers. 1.00

00:26:20.120 You know, they're seekers.

00:26:21.020 They're open-minded.

00:26:22.220 You know, they're spiritual, but not religious, man.

00:26:25.620 You know?

00:26:25.980 They're, I'll tell you something, they're distrustful of organized religion, you know?

00:26:30.300 But they're seekers, you know? 1.00

00:26:34.900 If you think organized religion is bad,

00:26:38.800 just wait till you learn about disorganized religion.

00:26:42.020 Because this stuff, this stuff, the Burning Man, where these people actually go to the desert

00:26:49.360 to worship a burning effigy, like a giant flaming idol.

00:26:55.400 Straight out of Exodus, they do this, okay?

00:27:01.020 And the orgy dome and the whatever and the drugs and the everything.

00:27:07.340 But there's so much more to it.

00:27:09.000 There's the Burning Man, there are the crystals, there are the horoscopes,

00:27:13.840 there's the Reiki, there's the this thing, there's the that thing.

00:27:16.680 It's really open-minded, man, you know?

00:27:20.580 That is disorganized religion. 1.00

00:27:23.080 And disorganized religion can really lead people astray.

00:27:27.120 Some sort of organized religion, if it's heretical or schismatic or, you know,

00:27:31.420 has errors in its premises, organized religion can lead people astray too.

00:27:35.720 But disorganized religion basically always leads people astray.

00:27:40.340 Because organized religion is applying rigor and logic and reason to our spiritual intuitions.

00:27:50.100 This is why I've joked, though, I guess it's not really a joke.

00:27:52.980 I've just quipped, I suppose, on the show,

00:27:55.880 that spiritual but not religious is the definition of a demon.

00:28:00.000 I don't mean this to malign anyone who identifies as spiritual but not religious.

00:28:05.360 Many such cases these days.

00:28:07.120 But I mean that in a really technical way.

00:28:09.920 Religion is a habit of virtue that inclines the will to give to God what he deserves.

00:28:15.920 It's like a kind of a justice, but it's just giving God what he deserves.

00:28:22.740 And spiritual means, well, not corporeal, right?

00:28:26.940 If you're purely spiritual, that means you don't have a body.

00:28:29.800 And so angels are spiritual, that is, they don't have bodies.

00:28:34.920 And they're religious.

00:28:36.260 They give to God what he deserves.

00:28:38.160 Demons are spiritual.

00:28:40.100 They don't have bodies.

00:28:41.100 But they explicitly do not give to God what he deserves.

00:28:44.360 They are irreligious. 0.98

00:28:45.440 That is to say they are spiritual but not religious.

00:28:47.420 And I know people, when they use that phrase,

00:28:49.380 they don't mean to say, you know, I engage in demonic activity.

00:28:55.280 But it is kind of an odd coincidence, isn't it?

00:29:00.060 I once saw a great meme posted by a lawyer here at the Daily Wire, which is, it was a little fish in a fishbowl.

00:29:08.840 And then the fishbowl was in the ocean.

00:29:10.500 And the meme said, it had the picture of the ocean, and it said, spirituality.

00:29:16.540 And then on the fishbowl, it said, religion.

00:29:19.280 And my friend here pointed out, he said, ah, this is a really good observation.

00:29:24.640 Religion is a lens that allows you to more clearly understand spirituality.

00:29:29.280 It's not a prison.

00:29:30.260 It's not something that traps you.

00:29:31.280 It's just a way to see things clearly and rationally and to take all of the sometimes incoherent,

00:29:36.960 sometimes contradictory, sometimes just simply inaccurate spiritual inklings and inclinations we have

00:29:44.700 and to see if they actually make any sense.

00:29:46.880 And something that doesn't make sense is going to the desert to worship a burning effigy of a man

00:29:53.220 and then go to a moist orgy dome.

00:29:55.620 That doesn't make sense. 0.98

00:29:56.420 If you're doing that, then your spirituality has led you astray,

00:29:59.580 and you ought to consider some religious rigor.

00:30:02.700 Just my two cents.

00:30:04.100 Speaking of drug culture, President Trump has raised eyebrows by coming out in support

00:30:10.960 of the old devil's lettuce, Mary Jane, talking about the Peruvian parsley.

00:30:17.920 You know what I mean?

00:30:18.440 The Haitian oregano.

00:30:19.480 You catch what I'm talking about?

00:30:20.540 I'm talking about pot.

00:30:22.980 Trump posted on Truth Social, law and order.

00:30:27.700 As everyone knows, I was and will be again the most respected law and order president in U.S. history.

00:30:32.860 We will take our streets back by being tough and smart on violent and all other types of crime.

00:30:37.700 In Florida, like so many other states that have already given their approval,

00:30:40.300 personal amounts of marijuana will be legalized for adults with Amendment 3.

00:30:43.500 So he's talking about this ballot initiative that is certainly going to pass,

00:30:46.960 almost certainly going to pass, which would legalize pot. 0.99

00:30:51.180 Whether people like it or not, this will happen through the approval of the voters,

00:30:54.440 so it should be done correctly.

00:30:55.640 We need the state legislature to responsibly create laws that prohibit the use of it in public spaces

00:30:59.300 so we do not smell marijuana everywhere we go like we do in many of the Democrat-run cities.

00:31:04.160 So true.

00:31:04.820 You walk through New York, you walk through L.A., certainly, everything smells like pot.

00:31:07.820 At the same time, someone should not be a criminal in Florida when this is legal in so many other states.

00:31:14.380 Okay, hold on.

00:31:15.420 The first part of it I totally get.

00:31:19.040 I'm going to be a tough law and order president.

00:31:20.420 I'm going to get tough on crime.

00:31:21.760 The second part I understand, which is in Florida, the voters are going to vote to legalize pot.

00:31:26.020 And it's just going to happen, and you might not like it, but it's going to happen.

00:31:28.780 And it would be better to do this in a way that minimizes the fallout than a way that just allows the fallout to go everywhere.

00:31:37.420 So I at least understand that.

00:31:39.320 But then he says, someone should not be a criminal in Florida when this is legal in so many other states.

00:31:45.040 So here this is shifting from this is going to pass to it is good that this – it is right that we decriminalize pot.

00:31:53.300 Now, that's a strange shift in argument.

00:31:56.460 Yeah, I know.

00:31:57.640 We probably don't like it, but it's going to happen, so let's do it responsibly, too.

00:32:01.120 This is good.

00:32:01.940 We need – it is a matter of justice that we legalize pot.

00:32:06.060 Now, we do not need to ruin lives and waste taxpayer dollars arresting adults with personal amounts of it on them.

00:32:13.440 Okay, that's part of the same argument.

00:32:15.160 You know, I don't know.

00:32:16.160 First of all, most, like, personal amounts of marijuana, when people plead guilty to that, when people are actually prosecuted for that, it's drug dealers pleading down.

00:32:23.080 And I don't think we should go soft on drug dealers at all.

00:32:24.980 But then he gets back to a good argument again, which is no one should grieve a loved one because they died from fentanyl-laced marijuana.

00:32:32.440 So this is a totally different argument now and much more persuasive, I think, you know, certainly than the second one and maybe even than the first one, which is, look, marijuana is illegal now.

00:32:41.780 People buy it from dirt bags on the street, and the dirt bags sometimes have it laced with fentanyl, such that, you know, you take one puff of the devil's lettuce, ordinarily, you know, you'd probably be basically okay just in that one instance.

00:32:54.380 But if there's fentanyl in it, you'll die.

00:32:56.780 And then a parent loses a kid because of a laced joint.

00:33:01.500 You know, that seems so crazy.

00:33:02.980 It would be better to buy the joint from a place where you know that's not going to get fentanyl.

00:33:07.880 At least that's the argument, and it's much more persuasive.

00:33:10.140 And then Trump says, we will make America safe again.

00:33:14.240 So he ties it back in, starts out law and order, ends with safety.

00:33:18.680 So there is a symmetry.

00:33:21.580 There is a through line to the post, even though there are arguments that don't necessarily go together here.

00:33:27.780 I'm sympathetic to some of the arguments President Trump is making.

00:33:30.300 I think some of them are pretty good.

00:33:31.180 I think some of them are a little weaker, at least from my perspective.

00:33:34.880 My only question is, this is going to split President Trump's supporters.

00:33:40.140 There are going to be Trump supporters who are maybe a little bit more libertarian, who are into legalizing drugs, at least legalizing marijuana.

00:33:49.240 And they're going to love this.

00:33:50.180 They're going to say, yeah, man, here we go.

00:33:52.000 But then there are going to be supporters who are conservatives and traditionalists and new right, religious right, this right, that right, who don't think it's good.

00:34:03.260 Who don't think that at the time that we're facing the worst drug crisis in American history, we don't necessarily need to make more drugs legal.

00:34:11.020 That seems like contrary to reason.

00:34:14.420 So, I think Trump is totally right in observing this amendment is going to pass and, you know, it is what it is.

00:34:20.720 But if an issue is going to split your own supporters, why bring it up?

00:34:28.120 And why bring up a relatively minor issue, recreational marijuana, when there are so many bigger issues, including the one that he does bring up at the end there, which is, you know, the overdose crisis.

00:34:41.720 The crisis of fentanyl, which is really coming across our border, which ties into a much bigger issue, which is the open border and mass migration, as well as then the economy, as well as foreign affairs.

00:34:52.100 Why, you know, personal marijuana seems so low on the list.

00:34:56.500 I just, that last line about the fentanyl, it was probably insightful, but I just still question whichever advisors are telling President Trump to focus on this.

00:35:09.700 I don't, there's something odd that's gone on within the Trump campaign in the past few weeks, where it just seems to me he's brought up issues that are needlessly divisive among his own supporters.

00:35:23.960 I am about as big a Trump supporter as there is.

00:35:26.680 I have supported the guy since 2016, happily voted for him in 16, and in 20, and in 24.

00:35:32.060 I know there are a lot of Johnny-come-latelys to the Trump movement.

00:35:34.260 So, you know, some people, they didn't vote in 2016, and maybe they did in 2020, then they campaigned for other people in the primary, and then, you know, so I understand that the Trump campaign doesn't necessarily want to take advice from people who have opposed it.

00:35:49.080 But I voted for the guy in 2016, happily, and I voted for him in 2020, and I don't, you know, I didn't publicly endorse any candidates in 2024, but I really like Trump.

00:35:59.560 I'm happy to vote for him in 2024.

00:36:00.960 So this comes from a place of love.

00:36:02.700 I just don't see what the point is in bringing up issues that are this divisive.

00:36:07.060 I don't think Trump is going to gain any meaningful votes from coming out swinging in defense of marijuana, and for every vote that he would win from that, I think he might lose a vote from people who really think the drug crisis has gotten horrible in America and who will be less inclined to vote for him as a result.

00:36:25.680 It just doesn't, it's, I have my own views on this issue, the IVF issue, all these other issues that have been just popping up out of nowhere in recent days.

00:36:34.660 But even beyond the matter of, I support this side of it rather than this side of it, I just don't see why we need to bring it up.

00:36:44.240 Kamala is losing on every major issue.

00:36:46.980 If we're going to, in as much as we're talking about issues at all, it seems to me the campaign would be better served focusing on those.

00:36:54.440 And whichever advisors think this is a good idea, I don't know.

00:36:57.800 I don't know if I'd listen to those advisors as much anymore.

00:37:00.780 Let's start listening to me.

00:37:01.680 That's what I would do.

00:37:02.640 But hey, that's me.

00:37:03.700 I have to listen to myself all the time.

00:37:06.320 Speaking of Law & Order, huge, huge story that will affect this very show, actually.

00:37:13.860 We'll get to that in one second.

00:37:15.060 First, though, we're just 10 days away from our first ever theatrical release, Am I Racist, premiering on September 13th.

00:37:21.440 Theaters are selling out across the country, which means more screens will show the film.

00:37:24.560 Go to amiracist.com today to get tickets and showtimes at your theater.

00:37:30.140 My favorite comment, wow, again.

00:37:31.880 Again, I told you, I don't look at the names.

00:37:33.940 I just look at the comments.

00:37:34.940 Again, probably this person has had more favorite comments on this show than anyone else.

00:37:42.200 And I have not done it intentionally.

00:37:44.600 This is the Drummer's Workshop, Norma's Music, says, I thought Kamala Harris would say on day one in the White House, she would walk up some stairs.

00:37:51.640 That's really great.

00:37:52.660 On day one, that would be the honest answer.

00:37:55.100 Because everyone's pretending like Kamala Harris doesn't know anything about the White House.

00:37:58.660 Kamala Harris doesn't have any power, no influence. 1.00

00:38:01.180 She's the vice president.

00:38:02.040 And on certain key issues, like the border, she's imbued with presidential authority and has been for three years.

00:38:07.280 We don't need to believe a single thing that she would say she'll do on day one.

00:38:11.680 She's already there.

00:38:13.140 She's been there for years.

00:38:14.860 On day one, she'll walk upstairs.

00:38:16.180 That's going to be the only difference in her experience of the White House.

00:38:20.100 A judge has just ruled against Media Matters for America in its request to dismiss a lawsuit from Elon Musk and X.

00:38:32.760 What is Media Matters, you say?

00:38:34.580 If you're a longtime listener to this show, you know Media Matters is, practically speaking, my publicity agency.

00:38:41.120 But officially, it's a left-wing operative organization that seeks to get conservative commentators and journalists fired.

00:38:55.360 So, to put this in perspective, there is someone working for Media Matters right now who is watching this show.

00:39:04.560 And I'm speaking, you know, we air the show first for the Daily Wire members.

00:39:08.820 So, you've got to go to become a member at dailywire.com.

00:39:11.320 Then, only afterward, does my show go out on YouTube.

00:39:15.660 It goes out on X.

00:39:16.640 It goes out on terrestrial radio, syndicated around the country.

00:39:19.540 And so, people can hear the show later in the day.

00:39:21.700 But Media Matters pays for a Daily Wire subscription.

00:39:27.260 Because, the way I know this is, they will break out clips of my show while I am still on the air doing the show live.

00:39:33.100 Which means they would have to be members watching at dailywire.com.

00:39:36.400 Which is great, and I appreciate the support, and I appreciate the publicity.

00:39:39.260 This is why I'm really torn on this.

00:39:40.200 Because Media Matters, in its own mind, exists to get me fired.

00:39:44.580 But in reality, Media Matters gives me the best publicity that I get and breaks out the best parts of my show.

00:39:51.460 And they post stuff, they say, Noel said this.

00:39:53.320 And I watched it, I said, man, that was a great segment.

00:39:55.940 Ooh, I've got to do more on that tomorrow.

00:39:57.220 That was good stuff.

00:39:57.860 Thanks, Media Matters.

00:39:58.640 So, I'm very torn on Elon coming in and saying, I'm going to destroy Media Matters.

00:40:04.500 Why does he want to destroy them?

00:40:05.620 Because Media Matters lied.

00:40:09.760 Media Matters ran a report that was intentionally deceptive and financially damaged X.

00:40:18.100 By saying that big advertisers' ads were appearing alongside all sorts of hateful, terrible, bigoted, disgusting content on X.

00:40:27.480 And then it came out that Media Matters cooked the report.

00:40:30.440 They used an extraordinarily small data set.

00:40:33.340 It was rather selective, and they were trying to get a certain result.

00:40:39.740 So, they gamed the Twitter algorithm, but it wasn't reflective of how the Twitter algorithm really works.

00:40:43.760 And as a consequence of that, corporate entities started to boycott advertising on X, which very nearly destroyed the company.

00:40:53.600 And Elon held firm, and he ended up then busting up the big advertiser conglomerate, GARM,

00:40:59.800 the Global Alliance for Responsible Media, which was this super lib, woke kind of operation to weaponize corporations to destroy right-wing media.

00:41:07.980 And now he's going after Media Matters.

00:41:10.080 How is this being reported?

00:41:12.480 NBC News says, because of U.S. District Judge Reed O'Connor's decision,

00:41:15.680 X's lawsuit against the non-profit media watchdog and two of its staff members will proceed to trial on April 7th.

00:41:23.940 Non-profit media watchdog.

00:41:25.980 That's according to NBC.

00:41:27.440 That's what Media Matters is.

00:41:29.800 NBC reporting on Jeffrey Dahmer could say, a local chef, local culinary expert Jeffrey Dahmer is being maligned in the media.

00:41:39.160 Same thing.

00:41:39.660 Non-profit media watchdog.

00:41:40.920 It's a leftist activist organization that seeks to destroy anyone who in any way contradicts the liberal establishment.

00:41:47.140 So I'm torn because I have great affection for the Media Matters employee or employees who are watching my show live right now and seeking to publicize my show and get more viewers for me.

00:42:02.080 However, Elon is right.

00:42:06.680 It has to be destroyed.

00:42:07.780 Media Matters and the, not even just Media Matters, but the groups like Media Matters, they have to be destroyed.

00:42:13.480 The left has to be destroyed as an organized, effective political machine.

00:42:19.980 And the reason for this is a basic political rule that a lot of squishes don't understand.

00:42:26.440 One wins by winning.

00:42:28.580 I remember, I was just talking about in 2016, there were conservatives who didn't support Trump.

00:42:33.280 And they had all sorts of reasons why they didn't support Trump.

00:42:35.760 And some were more persuasive than others.

00:42:37.620 But their fundamental mistake was, they thought we could win by losing.

00:42:42.760 The argument for never Trump was, if we lose this election, and the Democrat wins this election, we'll have a better chance of winning next time.

00:42:53.000 But that's not really how it works.

00:42:55.280 You don't have a better chance of winning by losing.

00:42:58.460 You win, and then you wield power, and you wield power to make the political conditions more favorable to your holding power.

00:43:08.540 And then you win again, and you gain even more power.

00:43:12.180 That's how it works.

00:43:13.700 That's how it really works.

00:43:14.540 So we're not going to win by letting the left continue to have and wield all sorts of power.

00:43:22.420 Think of just a presidential administration.

00:43:26.440 A presidential administration goes in and then starts to change some of the rules in the administrative state.

00:43:32.080 And then starts appointing judges who are going to defend the liberal interpretation, or whichever side's interpretation of the law.

00:43:39.780 And then they're going to start amassing popularity.

00:43:44.480 They're going to start giving handouts to their friends.

00:43:46.560 This is especially true on the left.

00:43:48.200 They're going to start crafting powerful financial and lobbying and intellectual and media organizations that are going to serve and be served by the patronage of that political power. 0.71

00:44:01.480 And, I mean, Republicans have tried to do this a little bit, mostly unsuccessfully.

00:44:05.520 But this is the story of the Democrat Party, going back to the days of the machine of Boss Tweed and actually long before that.

00:44:11.300 You win by winning.

00:44:12.340 So we're going to win by breaking down left-wing organizations that are behaving in a way that's illegal and unjust.

00:44:20.780 And we're going to break those down.

00:44:23.040 And then we're going to win more power.

00:44:25.140 And then we're going to win in the media.

00:44:26.800 And then we're going to go win in retail and just regular consumer goods, corporations.

00:44:31.680 We're doing this here at The Daily Wire.

00:44:33.040 Then you're going to win in popular entertainment.

00:44:35.580 Then you're going to go win in elections.

00:44:37.040 You've got to win those elections.

00:44:37.980 And then you're going to go win here and there and there, that there's no substitute for victory.

00:44:44.240 Now, what is Kamala's strategy to win?

00:44:46.500 According to NBC News, aforementioned flacks for the left, Kamala is going to focus at the debate on personal attacks on Trump rather than policy substance.

00:44:57.180 I'm just reading from NBC News.

00:44:59.900 A source told NBC News that while Harris's team is preparing to talk about a variety of topics, the campaign very much views the optics of the debate as critically important to that end.

00:45:07.160 The source said Harris and her team were focusing on homing in on how to needle Trump to rattle him.

00:45:12.220 In that sense, the source said, it's going to be less about substance and more about showcasing Harris as a woman who isn't scared and isn't going to cower and who's standing up to Trump and holding Trump accountable.

00:45:24.440 So it's all going to be personal attacks, no substance.

00:45:27.520 Duh.

00:45:28.180 I don't need NBC News to tell me that.

00:45:32.260 What's she going to run on in terms of substance? 1.00

00:45:35.500 She can run on killing babies, her one fanatically held policy view that I think she really does believe in, and that'll alienate about half the voters. 1.00

00:45:46.660 But she can do that, and maybe that gets her base to come out a little bit more. 0.85

00:45:51.140 And then what?

00:45:54.140 She could run on transing the kids. 0.80

00:45:55.780 Especially her running mate is really, really fanatical about that, but she herself is too.

00:46:01.040 She could run on that.

00:46:02.920 That's not a winner politically, though.

00:46:04.460 For goodness sakes, that issue flipped Virginia into the Republican column, so that's not going to work.

00:46:08.720 That helped get Ron DeSantis reelected overwhelmingly in Florida, so that's not going to work.

00:46:12.760 What's she going to run on? 0.96

00:46:13.480 The economy?

00:46:14.200 Migration? 0.68

00:46:14.800 Foreign wars? 0.61

00:46:16.640 What?

00:46:17.780 Inflation?

00:46:18.140 They got nothing.

00:46:21.600 Education?

00:46:22.200 They got nothing.

00:46:23.800 So, of course, it has to be personal attacks.

00:46:26.900 It always is, which is, again, every Democrat accusation against Trump does seem to be a kind of confession.

00:46:35.580 Trump wants political violence. 0.99

00:46:36.880 Meanwhile, they maraud, they rape, kill, pillage, and burn across the country, and then set the stage for Trump to be shot in the head. 0.99

00:46:41.700 But, no, Trump is the grave threat to safety and security. 0.99

00:46:46.420 He's the threat of political violence.

00:46:47.960 Or, here, you know, Trump is a threat to democracy.

00:46:50.620 Meanwhile, the libs change all the voting rules, in some cases unconstitutionally.

00:46:55.020 And then, here, Trump, he just focuses on personal attacks and invective.

00:46:58.960 No, what are you talking about?

00:47:00.520 Trump's out there talking about a ton of issues, some of which are controversial.

00:47:03.760 He's out there talking about IVF.

00:47:05.360 He's out there talking about marijuana.

00:47:06.640 He's out there talking about the border.

00:47:07.600 He's talking about some things that his supporters probably don't even support.

00:47:10.420 But, he is talking about issues.

00:47:13.360 What issue is Kamala talking about? 0.89

00:47:17.460 Kamala is talking about how evil Donald Trump is.

00:47:21.560 And then, she's talking about school buses and Venn diagrams and coconut trees.

00:47:26.720 It's Teehee Tuesday.

00:47:27.780 This is one really nice thing about it being Labor Day, or the day after Labor Day now, is we skip Music Monday.

00:47:33.420 We go straight to Teehee Tuesday.

00:48:01.520 Am I racist?

00:48:02.700 I would really appreciate it if you left.

00:48:04.000 I'm trying to learn.

00:48:04.700 I'm on this journey.

00:48:05.980 I'm going to sort this out.

00:48:07.000 I need to go deeper undercover.

00:48:21.620 The word inherent is challenging there.

00:48:23.580 I want to rename the George Washington Monument to the George Floyd Monument.

00:48:26.720 America is racist to its bones.
