00:00:30.200 As the 2024 race enters into its final stretch, the squishes are uniting to oppose President Trump.

00:00:36.920 More than 200 former Bush, McCain, and Romney staffers have endorsed Kamala Harris.

00:00:42.880 George W. Bush himself refuses to endorse the Republican nominee.

00:00:47.640 Bush's vice president, Dick Cheney, has gone further and endorsed Harris.

00:00:52.820 And of course, Dick Cheney's daughter, former Republican congressman, I should say,

00:00:57.060 former Republican and former congressman, Liz Cheney, is leading the charge.

00:01:02.240 Not totally surprising.

00:01:04.300 These people have all had ideological and personal beef with Trump for years.

00:01:08.860 But over the past few days, Liz Cheney has taken the squish vendetta 1.00

00:01:13.660 against Trump into the realm of the absurd.

00:01:17.360 If you look at Vice President Harris's speech, for example, at the Democratic Convention,

00:01:23.040 it is a speech that Ronald Reagan could have given.

00:01:25.540 It's a speech that George Bush could have given.

00:01:27.260 And it's very much an embrace and an understanding of the exceptional nature of this great nation,

00:01:35.040 a love of America.

00:01:36.640 Now, St. Ronald has been dead for a couple decades.

00:01:41.060 And his memory has been used and abused by his enemies and supposed supporters alike.

00:01:46.840 So let's just take a little side-by-side look to see if Kamala's DNC speech 0.72

00:01:52.300 really channeled the spirit of the late, great Republican president.

00:01:57.960 But America, we are not going back.

00:02:03.280 We are not going back to when he tried to get rid of the Affordable Care Act.

00:02:09.020 The key issue is we do not want socialized medicine.

00:02:12.100 We are not going to let him eliminate the Department of Education that funds our public schools.

00:02:19.380 We propose to dismantle two cabinet departments, energy and education.

00:02:23.540 Compare that to Donald Trump, because I think everyone here knows he doesn't actually fight

00:02:30.260 for the middle class.

00:02:31.700 He doesn't actually fight for the middle class.

00:02:34.340 Instead, he fights for himself and his billionaire friends.

00:02:37.340 And he will give them another round of tax breaks that will add up to $5 trillion to the national debt.

00:02:47.200 Our proposal is for a 10% across-the-board cut every year for three years in the tax rates

00:02:52.980 for all individual income taxpayers, make a total cut in tax rates of 30%.

00:02:58.520 If the deficit continues to grow, it will not be because the Congress cut taxes too much,

00:03:04.940 but because it refused to cut spending enough.

00:03:08.280 When Congress passes a bill to restore reproductive freedom as President of the United States,

00:03:16.340 I will proudly sign it into law.

00:03:18.860 We must not rest, and I pledge to you that I will not rest,

00:03:22.760 until a human life amendment becomes a part of our Constitution.

00:03:26.580 Seems like Reagan and Kamala are pretty different.

00:03:31.720 Sounds to me like the Gipper could not have given Kamala's DNC speech because he vehemently

00:03:37.800 opposed basically every substantive point she made.

00:03:41.260 Seems to me like these squish Republicans are not quite as principled and conservative 1.00

00:03:47.920 as they make themselves out to be.

00:03:50.920 These people held power for decades.

00:03:53.860 Conservatives, real conservatives supported them.

00:03:56.020 Despite their many failures and treacheries.

00:03:58.880 And then the moment their power was threatened,

00:04:01.080 they decided to stab us all in the back and switch teams.

00:04:04.160 Is it any wonder conservatives decided to ditch that old establishment

00:04:10.080 and give Trump a go in the first place?

00:04:13.240 I'm Michael Knowles.

00:04:13.820 This is the Michael Knowles Show.

00:04:14.760 I want to know about racism.

00:04:18.680 Am I racist?

00:04:20.020 Why do you judge by the color of our faces?

00:04:22.460 Is racial division just a plant by the matrix?

00:04:24.980 They burn down our cities, then they get called courageous.

00:04:27.360 Instead of condemning the media, give them praises.

00:04:32.180 That sounded like a different stinger than usual on this show. 0.53

00:04:35.580 There's something different about it.

00:04:36.940 Can anyone put their finger on it?

00:04:38.520 Animal sacrifices are on the rise in Queens.

00:04:42.100 We will get to that unfortunate story in a moment.

00:04:44.620 First, though, folks, when I drove into work this morning, I put my car seat heater on.

00:04:52.240 Okay?

00:04:52.680 It was a little chilly.

00:04:54.280 Sicilian summer is over.

00:04:55.720 It's the past.

00:04:56.420 First, right now, it is PSL season.

00:05:00.180 You can get your PSL candle at thecandleclub.com.

00:05:03.780 You know that my products are mostly combustible.

00:05:07.640 I only like to sell flammable things.

00:05:10.260 Well, when you're sitting indoors with a nice Mayflower,

00:05:14.500 really, you could fill up the whole house with the wonderful scent of PSL

00:05:17.460 or Wise Man or Old Soul or Chemnilachem

00:05:20.440 or the Mayflower line of premium candles,

00:05:23.140 all at The Candle Club.

00:05:26.420 I'm really irritated by the George W. Bush thing.

00:05:32.560 I'm not saying I'm the biggest George W. Bush fan in the country,

00:05:35.540 but I'm also not one of these people on the left or the right

00:05:39.460 who blames him for every problem we've had in the last several decades.

00:05:43.620 But I'm really irritated that this guy was supported by the Republican Party

00:05:49.600 by conservatives for decades.

00:05:53.420 That this guy's family has been supported by conservative Republicans,

00:05:57.920 even though the Bush family has never been particularly conservative.

00:06:00.880 His family has been supported by conservative Republicans,

00:06:03.560 not just for his presidency, his governorship,

00:06:06.940 his brother's governorship, his father's presidency,

00:06:09.740 and his grandfather's Senate terms.

00:06:14.400 This guy has been supported.

00:06:16.480 The whole family has been supported by conservatives for all that time.

00:06:19.020 And then the minute that he's got some personal and ideological beef

00:06:22.840 with a more conservative Republican presidential candidate,

00:06:27.280 he takes his ball and goes home.

00:06:28.860 That really drives me a little bit crazy.

00:06:30.920 I get it.

00:06:31.580 I understand the personal beef.

00:06:33.200 Trump has said very nasty things about George W. Bush.

00:06:35.720 He's said nasty things about Jeb Bush.

00:06:38.700 That's where the real beef was because Trump was running against Jeb in 2016.

00:06:43.040 Sorry, Republican politics, all politics is a contact sport.

00:06:48.060 I get it.

00:06:49.060 I'm sure George Bush despises Donald Trump.

00:06:53.020 But what about party unity?

00:06:54.460 What about the common good?

00:06:55.540 What about coming together for your patriotic duty?

00:06:57.500 Whatever happened to that?

00:06:59.680 Instead, he's going to sit on the sidelines.

00:07:01.400 Bush has said in 2020, he did not vote for Trump.

00:07:04.380 He wrote in Condoleezza Rice.

00:07:06.040 So he threw his vote away.

00:07:06.940 He's a former president.

00:07:08.480 This is a man whose family is supposed to be dedicated to public service,

00:07:11.560 but they throw it away because of a personal gripe.

00:07:15.440 And of course, the defenders of this kind of thing will say,

00:07:19.060 well, Michael, you don't understand.

00:07:21.140 Trump is this unique sort of character.

00:07:23.660 He's not really unique.

00:07:26.260 Personally, yeah, he throws some punches.

00:07:28.720 You know, Ronald Reagan and George H.W. Bush threw some punches at each other

00:07:31.980 when they ran against each other for president in 1980.

00:07:34.580 Then they came together.

00:07:36.940 There has been a divide in the Republican Party between the more conservative wing and

00:07:44.760 the more liberal wing for at least going all the way back to World War II and really even

00:07:52.160 before that.

00:07:53.420 Though when you get a little further back than that, the distinctions become more historically

00:07:58.260 contingent.

00:07:58.860 But certainly since World War II, you had two wings of the party.

00:08:02.800 You had the Goldwater wing, the conservative wing of the Republican Party, and you had the

00:08:06.560 Rockefeller wing of the Republican Party, which was more liberal.

00:08:10.400 And well, you saw this in the Goldwater race, but then you saw this later on.

00:08:16.400 The divide was probably most clearly exemplified by the divide between Reagan and George H.W. Bush.

00:08:22.780 Reagan was the conservative.

00:08:25.140 George H.W. Bush was the moderate, more liberal Republican.

00:08:29.100 And then George H.W. Bush, when Reagan invited him onto the ticket, he moderated some of his

00:08:34.160 positions and became more conservative.

00:08:35.980 Most notably, he became pro-life in order to become vice president.

00:08:40.300 Previously, the Bushes had been very in favor of abortion.

00:08:43.560 Prescott Bush, I think, supported Planned Parenthood.

00:08:45.360 But okay, good on George H.W. Bush.

00:08:48.480 He pivoted.

00:08:49.560 He became more conservative.

00:08:50.760 And the two sides came together.

00:08:53.880 But then, I don't know.

00:08:55.080 Then the moment that the more moderate liberal establishment wing of the party took over,

00:09:00.080 then they demanded the votes of the conservatives.

00:09:03.520 But they never really wanted to give us very much.

00:09:07.840 That's what's really frustrating to me.

00:09:09.420 It just seems like for years, the conservative wing of the party has gone along with the Bushes.

00:09:15.360 And has gone along with the Romneys.

00:09:17.200 And has gone along with the more moderate establishment, chamber of commerce, kind of

00:09:21.400 wing of the party.

00:09:22.220 And we've given them our votes.

00:09:23.460 And we've given them our support.

00:09:24.980 Conservatives supported George W. Bush for president twice.

00:09:27.480 And he wasn't particularly conservative.

00:09:29.120 And he wasn't a particularly good president.

00:09:31.040 He did some good things.

00:09:32.380 And he was the nominee.

00:09:33.680 And we needed party unity.

00:09:34.600 And we felt it was for the good of the country.

00:09:36.600 And so we supported him.

00:09:38.240 Well, hey, man, why aren't you supporting us?

00:09:40.520 Why aren't you pulling your weight in the Republican coalition?

00:09:42.940 We talk about how we have this really important coalition brought together, most notably by

00:09:47.780 Ronald Reagan, between the libertarians and the traditionalists and the religious right

00:09:52.820 and the peace through strength kind of foreign policy thinkers.

00:09:56.720 And they all kind of came together.

00:09:58.900 So long as it was what?

00:10:00.440 The establishment running things?

00:10:02.300 Starting in 88, you get Bush running things.

00:10:06.540 Then you get kind of moderate Republicans for then the presidency of George W. Bush.

00:10:12.400 Then the nomination of John McCain, certainly more moderate than the nomination of Mitt Romney.

00:10:17.520 And the conservatives still came out and we voted and we didn't ditch these people.

00:10:21.100 And we didn't certainly endorse the Democrat.

00:10:22.700 And we didn't throw all of these temper tantrums that the GOP squish establishment is doing now.

00:10:29.420 We did our duty and supported the nominee of the party.

00:10:33.100 But then the minute you get a more conservative presidential nominee, who was the most conservative

00:10:38.340 president of my lifetime, Donald Trump, who actually used the phrase from Ronald Reagan,

00:10:42.500 make America great again.

00:10:44.100 You see a resurgence of the Reagan wing of the party as opposed to the Bush wing of the party,

00:10:47.840 a resurgence of the Goldwater wing of the party as opposed to the Rockefeller wing of the party.

00:10:51.660 Then that's the moment when all the squishes go home and Bush gets off the field and Cheney 0.71

00:10:55.480 endorses the Democrat and Cheney's daughter endorses the Democrat.

00:10:58.400 And a bunch of staffers for Bush and McCain and Romney. 0.97

00:11:01.960 You know, it's disgusting. 0.98

00:11:03.840 It's absolutely disgusting. 0.90

00:11:05.560 You can't have a political coalition that way.

00:11:07.200 And it's not the Trumpers who broke the political coalition.

00:11:09.780 It was these squishes for selfish reasons.

00:11:12.560 Absolutely, absolutely disgraceful.

00:11:15.420 Now, speaking of President Trump, Trump and Harris face off tomorrow night at the presidential debate.

00:11:20.580 We are going backstage to cover the debate live.

00:11:23.480 You'll get to see reactions from the most trusted voices in conservative media.

00:11:27.240 That's me.

00:11:28.860 But in addition, you can also hear from Matt Walsh, Ben Shapiro, Andrew Klavan, and Jeremy Boring for full coverage and analysis.

00:11:34.020 Watch live Daily Wire Plus, 8 p.m. Eastern.

00:11:39.960 It won't belabor the point too much, but Dick Cheney, good grief, man.

00:11:43.400 Dick Cheney endorses Kamala Harris.

00:11:45.300 He writes, in our nation's 248-year history, there's never been an individual who's a greater threat to our republic than Donald Trump.

00:11:51.600 Are you kidding me?

00:11:52.280 He tried to steal the last election using lies and violence to keep himself in power after the voters had rejected him.

00:11:59.400 He can never be trusted with that power again.

00:12:02.080 As citizens, we each have a duty to put country above partisanship to defend our constitution.

00:12:06.840 That's why I'll be casting my vote for Vice President Kamala Harris. 1.00

00:12:09.240 There is something delightful about this endorsement, which is, those of you who maybe don't remember so clearly,

00:12:15.720 during the Bush administration, as much as the left hated Bush, and they called him Hitler, and they put little mustaches on his posters,

00:12:23.500 they thought that George W. Bush was Mother Teresa.

00:12:28.760 They thought he was Gandhi.

00:12:29.940 They thought he was Nelson Mandela compared to Dick Cheney.

00:12:34.340 Dick Cheney, they thought, was truly Darth Vader.

00:12:37.860 And now you have the left just giddily embracing Dick Cheney.

00:12:44.000 And why is Dick Cheney doing this?

00:12:45.740 The Bushes always were a little bit politically sus.

00:12:48.380 They definitely came from the more establishment liberal wing of the party.

00:12:52.800 Dick Cheney, however, was a conservative member of Congress.

00:12:56.020 Way back when, when he was a member of Congress, this guy was a real conservative.

00:12:59.500 He had a hardcore conservative bona fides.

00:13:01.960 He was one of the first guys to come out and endorse Reagan in Congress.

00:13:06.160 He was on a whole host of issues, domestic and foreign.

00:13:09.580 He was extremely conservative, ardently pro-life.

00:13:12.000 He was a successful Secretary of Defense.

00:13:14.060 He did become more Wilsonian as he was Vice President.

00:13:17.980 But still, this guy had pretty rock-ribbed right-wing bona fides.

00:13:21.680 And then over the 2000s, they started to break away.

00:13:25.480 He went squishy on the meaning of marriage.

00:13:27.080 Again, that seemed to have been a personal issue.

00:13:28.920 Now, what's he doing?

00:13:30.340 He's defending his daughter.

00:13:31.720 I get it.

00:13:32.200 You want to support your daughter.

00:13:34.540 But where is the loyalty to the millions and millions of conservatives

00:13:39.620 who supported these people in their whole careers in public life?

00:13:43.380 Where's the loyalty to us?

00:13:45.260 Where's the loyalty to those people?

00:13:47.740 Nowhere to be found.

00:13:49.180 Now, this signals something bigger than just the Bushes and the Cheneys hating the Trumps.

00:13:55.760 This signals something bigger than personal political gripes.

00:13:58.920 Democrats are now fully the party of the political elite.

00:14:03.280 Democrats are now the party.

00:14:06.260 Explicitly or implicitly, they're the party of the Clintons, the Obamas, the Bidens,

00:14:13.820 the Bushes, the Bushes, the Cheneys, the even beyond those families.

00:14:21.740 They're the party of big business.

00:14:25.080 Peace here in CNBC.

00:14:27.580 88 corporate leaders have endorsed Kamala Harris in a new letter.

00:14:33.760 That includes the CEOs of Yelp, Box, all sorts of other stuff.

00:14:38.820 James Murdoch, 21st Century Fox CEO, son of Rupert Murdoch, the right-wing media mogul.

00:14:44.960 All these snap chairman, Michael Linton.

00:14:48.140 All these guys.

00:14:50.080 If Harris wins the White House, they say the business community can be confident

00:14:53.240 that it will have a president who wants American industries to thrive.

00:14:57.440 This is the biggest evidence yet of a realignment.

00:15:03.600 You know, we always hear the Libs say that the parties switched.

00:15:06.520 The parties always switch conveniently whenever the Democrats do something really horrible.

00:15:11.200 No, don't worry.

00:15:11.960 Then the parties switched.

00:15:13.380 But parties don't switch.

00:15:16.440 The two parties don't wake up one day and say, okay, from now on, you Republicans,

00:15:19.860 you're going to be the Democrats.

00:15:20.680 And we Democrats, we're going to be the Republicans.

00:15:22.520 But political circumstances change.

00:15:24.780 And so as they apply their principles to changing circumstances,

00:15:27.720 sometimes the specific policies that they embrace do change.

00:15:31.360 And the specific constituencies they speak to change.

00:15:34.180 And here you're seeing one of those shifts.

00:15:36.280 Now, some Republicans are misinterpreting this.

00:15:40.580 They're saying the GOP is the party of the proletariat now or something.

00:15:44.760 You know, we're the party of the lowest prestige echelons of society.

00:15:51.060 You know, workers of the world unite or something.

00:15:53.880 We're not that.

00:15:55.260 Democrats are still that party.

00:15:59.320 There's still the party of, well, communists for that point.

00:16:03.300 But also, they're still the party of the very, very poor.

00:16:07.800 I don't think the very, very poor are voting for Republicans.

00:16:10.800 They're also the party of the very, very rich.

00:16:14.320 Republicans are the party of the middle class.

00:16:17.000 Republicans are the party of the bourgeoisie.

00:16:18.880 The Republicans are not the party of the big corporate leaders.

00:16:22.140 The big corporate leaders vote for Democrats.

00:16:23.880 Republicans are not the party of Wall Street.

00:16:25.700 By and large, Wall Street supports Democrats.

00:16:28.260 Republicans are the party of small to medium-sized businesses.

00:16:32.700 Not the really large ones.

00:16:34.020 It's the small to medium-sized businesses.

00:16:36.060 Republicans are the party not of the destitute,

00:16:38.860 not of the illegal migrants who have come across the border,

00:16:43.400 flown in by Democrats a lot of the time all over the country.

00:16:46.020 Those guys are still going to be more likely to vote for Democrats if they do vote,

00:16:50.080 and their kids are going to be more likely to vote for Democrats.

00:16:52.380 Republicans are the party of the middle class, the lower middle class,

00:16:55.840 of small-town entrepreneurs,

00:17:00.080 of guys who don't hang around with this crew here,

00:17:04.640 with Yelp and Box and Snap and 21st Century Fox.

00:17:07.760 And that's an important constituency.

00:17:11.980 I like people in the middle class, in the lower middle class, 1.00

00:17:14.500 and the small business owners.

00:17:15.740 But it's important to note, just so we know what the political stakes are,

00:17:20.720 the ensconced political establishment is entirely Democrat.

00:17:26.480 Used to be, the Dems would say, the big business supports Republicans,

00:17:29.780 you know, those billionaires.

00:17:30.700 But that's not really the case anymore.

00:17:33.740 The political establishment, up to and including Dick Cheney,

00:17:40.900 former CEO of Halliburton, former vice president,

00:17:44.600 guy with that kind of crazy-looking grin who just invades all the countries in the world,

00:17:49.040 even him, they're all Democrats now.

00:17:54.160 And they have a lot of power, and they can wield that power pretty effectively.

00:17:56.680 Now, meanwhile, what's Trump up to?

00:17:59.480 Trump did something yesterday that was historic,

00:18:02.620 and I think many people didn't pay attention to it.

00:18:07.480 Yesterday is the feast of the Nativity of Mary,

00:18:11.300 Mary, Mother of God, Mother of our Lord.

00:18:14.680 And this comes from tradition.

00:18:18.040 You know, there's not much written in Scripture about Mary's,

00:18:23.020 the circumstances of Mary's birth.

00:18:24.580 But we do have a tradition dating back to the,

00:18:28.380 at least the second century from the Proto-Evangelium of James,

00:18:31.320 which discusses the Nativity of Our Lady of Mary.

00:18:35.460 And anyway, Trump yesterday posts,

00:18:38.080 happy birthday, Mary, exclamation point.

00:18:42.020 And it's a picture of Our Lady,

00:18:44.100 and some people are not going to be familiar with this picture.

00:18:46.680 It's a picture of Our Lady of Guadalupe.

00:18:49.480 Our Lady of Guadalupe is an image that appeared on a tilma, 0.79

00:18:55.260 on a worker's garment, about 500 years ago in Central America.

00:19:02.900 And the image is believed to be,

00:19:07.600 I certainly believe it to be, a miraculous image.

00:19:11.460 This image appeared.

00:19:12.880 Here's the story.

00:19:13.480 The story is, 1531, this guy Juan Diego is walking around the fields,

00:19:19.820 and he sees an apparition of Mary, you know, Our Lady.

00:19:23.920 And so he talks to her, and he goes back,

00:19:26.720 and he tells the priest and the bishop,

00:19:28.640 he says, hey, I just saw Our Lady.

00:19:30.780 And that, you know, people are a little skeptical, of course.

00:19:34.280 And he sees this apparition again and again.

00:19:38.680 And so then, as proof of the apparition,

00:19:42.560 there are roses that appear.

00:19:44.440 Roses do not exist at this point in Central America.

00:19:47.800 He picks up the roses, puts them in his tilma,

00:19:49.980 this worker's cloth, brings it back.

00:19:54.380 And when he unfurls the roses that fall out,

00:19:57.720 the mere presence of the roses in the Americas

00:19:59.940 would be one proof of the miraculous nature of this apparition.

00:20:02.660 But as he unfurls it, there's this image on the tilma.

00:20:05.260 And the image is this woman clothed with the sun,

00:20:08.100 with stars around her, standing on the moon.

00:20:10.620 So the images that come from the book of the apocalypse.

00:20:13.340 And what's weird about it is,

00:20:15.000 well, there are a lot of things that are weird about it.

00:20:17.000 No one really seems to know how this image got there.

00:20:20.060 So first weird thing,

00:20:21.980 there's no drawing underneath the painting.

00:20:24.080 It would be completely absurd to imagine

00:20:26.780 that a 16th century painter

00:20:28.160 would not sketch out the painting before applying paint.

00:20:31.380 There's no underlying drawing.

00:20:34.100 The appearance of the lady differs

00:20:37.200 by how close you are to the image.

00:20:39.660 By one distance, she appears to be kind of native,

00:20:42.560 indigenous.

00:20:44.040 From another distance,

00:20:45.560 seems to be a little bit more European.

00:20:47.340 The position of the stars

00:20:48.640 is astronomically correct

00:20:51.620 based on where the stars were in the sky

00:20:54.680 on the day of the apparition.

00:20:56.280 The image has not really decayed.

00:21:01.660 Despite being in a church with all sorts of smoke,

00:21:04.640 the image hasn't really decayed at all.

00:21:07.400 The tilma, which should have only lasted,

00:21:09.940 just the fabric should have just lasted 15 to 30 years or so.

00:21:13.000 The tilma is in pretty great shape,

00:21:15.220 even 500 years later.

00:21:17.140 Gets even weirder.

00:21:18.000 Some liquid spilled on the tilma.

00:21:24.000 This was centuries ago.

00:21:25.700 Didn't really disturb the image.

00:21:27.660 In the early 20th century,

00:21:29.460 an anarchist, an anti-Catholic,

00:21:31.340 set off a bomb in the church

00:21:32.740 where this tilma,

00:21:33.560 this very,

00:21:34.280 should be very delicate fabric was held.

00:21:37.000 Blew out pews.

00:21:38.520 It bent a crucifix, actually,

00:21:40.320 that was in front of the tilma.

00:21:42.100 It bent the crucifix around

00:21:44.240 as if to protect the image.

00:21:45.520 The image was unharmed.

00:21:49.220 Then there was microscopic analysis done

00:21:51.340 on the image of Our Lady in the tilma.

00:21:54.680 And they zoomed in on the eyes.

00:21:56.420 And this one is the one that really gets me.

00:21:58.920 There's an image in the lens of the eye.

00:22:01.660 And it's an image of men looking at the image.

00:22:06.280 And the lens curves as a human eye curves.

00:22:11.000 So there's some distortion

00:22:12.520 to where the people would be.

00:22:15.160 And it's obviously extraordinarily,

00:22:16.700 one can't even imagine how the image,

00:22:19.320 how one could,

00:22:20.140 if one did paint that,

00:22:21.080 how one could paint that.

00:22:23.640 There are so many aspects to this

00:22:25.980 that are amazing.

00:22:27.160 This is why millions and millions,

00:22:28.500 an estimated 9 million people converted

00:22:30.400 within seven years

00:22:31.740 as a result of this image,

00:22:33.340 which comes out to about 3,000 people a day,

00:22:35.160 which is the number of people

00:22:35.800 who converted on the Pentecost.

00:22:38.240 All sorts of really amazing facts

00:22:42.120 about this image.

00:22:44.240 And I believe Donald Trump

00:22:45.960 is the first president

00:22:47.820 or presidential candidate

00:22:48.980 ever to post this image,

00:22:52.580 ever to really embrace this image.

00:22:55.080 This is the Marian apparition 0.99

00:22:57.100 in the Americas

00:22:58.140 that converted, you know,

00:23:00.040 these people in the Americas.

00:23:01.820 And he embraced that.

00:23:06.200 He was real for that, man.

00:23:08.280 That's odd.

00:23:10.600 And what you're going to hear

00:23:11.700 from Trump's critics is,

00:23:13.660 this guy's a thrice-married,

00:23:15.480 lapsed Presbyterian.

00:23:16.660 You know,

00:23:16.940 he's this guy.

00:23:17.860 How dare he, you know,

00:23:18.900 how dare he talk about anything religious?

00:23:22.040 Well, you know,

00:23:22.380 God uses imperfect vessels.

00:23:25.440 We're all imperfect vessels,

00:23:26.400 and God uses imperfect vessels

00:23:28.080 for his purposes.

00:23:29.760 And there's just something about the guy.

00:23:33.120 This is profound.

00:23:35.840 You want to talk about conservative,

00:23:37.020 500 years,

00:23:37.820 the conversion of the Americas.

00:23:38.860 That's pretty conservative.

00:23:42.320 Something going on here.

00:23:44.520 And as someone who signed the declaration,

00:23:47.440 you know,

00:23:47.620 for the Catholics for Trump,

00:23:49.160 I'm glad to see that.

00:23:50.300 Very glad to see,

00:23:51.080 you know,

00:23:51.340 symbols are very important in politics,

00:23:53.100 and I'm glad to see

00:23:53.900 that President Trump

00:23:55.320 is embracing symbols

00:23:56.620 that are extraordinarily important

00:23:57.840 for our civilization

00:23:58.820 and specifically for our continents,

00:24:02.380 our hemisphere.

00:24:03.480 There's so much more to say.

00:25:58.940 Speaking of religious rituals,

00:26:02.180 animal sacrifices

00:26:03.300 are on the rise in Queens.

00:26:07.060 That's not great.

00:26:09.240 This being reported

00:26:10.200 by the New York Post.

00:26:11.820 Animal sacrifices

00:26:12.580 surging in Queens

00:26:13.380 with chickens,

00:26:14.220 pigs,

00:26:14.540 and rats

00:26:15.000 being tortured,

00:26:15.800 mutilated, 0.99

00:26:16.220 or killed 0.97

00:26:16.560 in twisted religious rituals

00:26:18.020 in parklands

00:26:18.760 surrounding Jamaica Bay.

00:26:20.420 The Post has learned

00:26:21.140 in a little over a month,

00:26:22.460 at least nine wounded animals

00:26:24.220 or carcasses

00:26:24.900 have been discovered

00:26:25.640 in the federally managed

00:26:26.760 Spring Creek Park

00:26:27.900 in Howard Beach

00:26:28.780 and the Jamaica Bay

00:26:30.040 Wildlife Refuge

00:26:30.980 in Broad Channel,

00:26:31.780 including five live pigs

00:26:33.340 which partially severed ears.

00:26:36.180 I believe that this stuff

00:26:37.560 is happening

00:26:37.940 because when I moved to LA,

00:26:40.020 I was walking on the beach

00:26:41.280 underneath the Santa Monica Pier.

00:26:43.060 This was one of the earliest times

00:26:44.460 I was in LA

00:26:45.080 and I found a chicken

00:26:47.380 with a severed head.

00:26:49.120 And in my naivete,

00:26:50.560 I thought,

00:26:50.940 oh,

00:26:51.180 I don't know,

00:26:51.540 maybe he ran out of a kitchen

00:26:53.660 or something.

00:26:54.640 They were getting ready

00:26:55.700 to chop up that. 0.77

00:26:56.380 Of course,

00:26:56.740 they don't really,

00:26:57.480 they don't,

00:26:58.240 you know,

00:26:58.600 pluck the chickens

00:26:59.340 in these restaurants.

00:27:00.800 My friend said,

00:27:01.600 no,

00:27:01.700 I think this is some voodoo stuff.

00:27:03.080 I think this is some occult

00:27:04.140 kind of rituals.

00:27:05.700 And he was right.

00:27:07.460 So this goes on

00:27:08.560 in LA,

00:27:09.940 Gamora by the Sea

00:27:10.600 as Jeremy calls it.

00:27:11.440 And it goes on

00:27:12.400 in New York

00:27:14.100 and it goes on

00:27:14.620 in a lot of places

00:27:15.240 increasingly

00:27:15.980 as our

00:27:16.820 traditionally religious culture,

00:27:19.260 our Christian culture

00:27:20.140 is less

00:27:21.900 clear

00:27:23.120 in society.

00:27:24.200 Well,

00:27:24.420 all these other weird

00:27:25.300 occult practices

00:27:26.160 come in

00:27:26.940 to fill their place.

00:27:27.720 Now,

00:27:28.860 a certain

00:27:29.680 radical sect

00:27:30.680 of Hindus

00:27:31.260 is apparently

00:27:32.220 being blamed

00:27:33.160 for these particular

00:27:34.320 animal sacrifices

00:27:35.520 in Queens.

00:27:36.480 I don't know.

00:27:37.160 That's just according

00:27:37.700 to the reporting

00:27:38.120 from the Post.

00:27:38.660 I don't know how true it is.

00:27:39.420 Could be true.

00:27:40.660 But what I do know is

00:27:42.160 according to

00:27:44.620 our present

00:27:45.600 jurisprudence

00:27:46.420 since 1993,

00:27:49.260 if people want

00:27:51.520 to sacrifice

00:27:52.040 animals to demons,

00:27:53.760 they are allowed

00:27:54.780 to do that

00:27:55.540 on religious grounds.

00:27:58.180 Yes.

00:28:00.300 Probably not

00:28:01.040 the sort of thing

00:28:01.700 that George Washington

00:28:02.700 and James Madison

00:28:03.640 and Thomas Jefferson

00:28:04.460 envisioned,

00:28:05.500 nor Abraham Lincoln,

00:28:06.820 nor Teddy Roosevelt,

00:28:07.760 nor anything.

00:28:08.460 Teddy was,

00:28:09.240 you know,

00:28:09.340 when he was going

00:28:09.700 to sacrifice animals,

00:28:10.500 he'd do it

00:28:10.780 with a double-barrel 0.76

00:28:11.280 shotgun.

00:28:12.320 No,

00:28:12.520 no,

00:28:12.620 no.

00:28:12.740 But since 1993,

00:28:14.960 really beginning

00:28:16.440 the peak

00:28:17.100 of secularism

00:28:18.360 in American law

00:28:19.380 jurisprudence,

00:28:21.940 I guess you have

00:28:23.300 a constitutional

00:28:24.220 religious right

00:28:25.140 to sacrifice

00:28:26.200 goats and pigs

00:28:28.200 and chickens

00:28:28.840 to demons.

00:28:31.040 This is

00:28:32.360 untenable

00:28:35.340 in the long run

00:28:36.220 because

00:28:38.020 if it were merely

00:28:39.420 a matter

00:28:40.680 of illegal aliens 0.93

00:28:42.660 coming to America

00:28:44.000 and breaking the law

00:28:45.620 and doing their

00:28:46.420 weird voodoo rituals,

00:28:47.260 that would be bad enough

00:28:48.320 and we'd have to figure out

00:28:49.160 what to do

00:28:49.800 with all those

00:28:50.180 illegal aliens.

00:28:50.940 We're still trying

00:28:51.540 to figure that out.

00:28:52.380 These illegal aliens 1.00

00:28:53.040 who cause a major threat

00:28:54.400 to our political order

00:28:55.340 and major disturbances

00:28:56.600 to our social order.

00:28:58.240 But it isn't just that.

00:29:00.480 If really

00:29:01.360 this is being done

00:29:02.240 by some radical

00:29:02.820 sect of Hindus,

00:29:03.600 it's probably

00:29:04.100 not illegal aliens.

00:29:05.240 It's probably

00:29:05.620 legal immigrants

00:29:06.540 who are just

00:29:08.200 doing really,

00:29:09.200 really weird stuff

00:29:10.000 and littering the streets

00:29:11.080 with decapitated chickens.

00:29:13.780 It's not

00:29:14.320 the sort of thing.

00:29:15.120 Listen,

00:29:15.400 my family's been

00:29:16.000 in New York

00:29:16.440 for a pretty long time.

00:29:17.500 That's not

00:29:18.080 how we're supposed

00:29:18.600 to do things there.

00:29:21.320 That's unpleasant

00:29:22.220 to the people

00:29:22.840 living in New York.

00:29:25.860 But what if

00:29:26.580 they're legal immigrants?

00:29:27.560 We have

00:29:27.720 the problem

00:29:28.980 with some

00:29:29.960 of the social confusion

00:29:31.280 that's set in.

00:29:33.020 I think it gets

00:29:34.140 scapegoated

00:29:35.320 onto the illegal aliens 0.99

00:29:36.660 a lot

00:29:36.880 and that's a big problem.

00:29:38.140 But it's kind of

00:29:39.480 just mass migration.

00:29:41.020 Legally or illegally,

00:29:42.200 when people come here

00:29:43.060 and they don't have

00:29:43.520 familiarity

00:29:43.860 with the culture

00:29:44.600 and they

00:29:45.880 don't have

00:29:47.520 the habits

00:29:47.960 of Americans,

00:29:48.640 which take generations

00:29:49.720 to cultivate,

00:29:50.740 it's going to create

00:29:51.480 social problems.

00:29:52.320 Aristotle knew that.

00:29:54.360 All serious statesmen

00:29:55.460 have known that

00:29:55.860 for a long time.

00:29:56.640 This is also a problem

00:29:57.360 of secularism.

00:29:59.320 If you don't

00:30:00.040 want

00:30:01.520 decapitated chickens

00:30:02.860 in your streets,

00:30:03.920 well,

00:30:04.320 you're going to have

00:30:04.900 to put some limits

00:30:05.540 on religious freedom,

00:30:06.500 according to the Supreme Court.

00:30:08.540 You're going to have

00:30:09.340 to circumscribe.

00:30:10.740 We like religious toleration.

00:30:12.420 We don't want

00:30:12.960 to become

00:30:14.060 a sectarian country

00:30:16.140 necessarily.

00:30:17.420 That would probably

00:30:18.000 be

00:30:18.580 imprudent,

00:30:20.840 difficult,

00:30:21.860 or impossible even.

00:30:23.380 We're a country

00:30:23.960 of people

00:30:24.340 from lots of

00:30:24.880 different backgrounds

00:30:25.560 and so just

00:30:26.100 in America's development,

00:30:27.900 it's hard to imagine

00:30:28.760 that we would

00:30:29.260 truly become

00:30:31.100 a confessional state.

00:30:32.340 But we could do

00:30:33.120 what we did

00:30:33.540 until circa 1993

00:30:35.600 and be a broadly

00:30:36.740 Christian country.

00:30:37.600 that tolerates

00:30:39.280 other religious

00:30:40.520 practices

00:30:41.100 to a point.

00:30:43.720 And certainly

00:30:45.080 one of the points

00:30:47.360 that falls

00:30:48.160 beyond that point

00:30:49.520 up to which

00:30:49.960 we tolerate things

00:30:50.860 is, you know,

00:30:51.520 beheaded goats

00:30:52.320 in the streets

00:30:52.980 of Queens.

00:30:55.280 But are we

00:30:56.260 willing to take

00:30:56.940 that on?

00:30:57.980 I doubt it.

00:30:59.240 The most

00:31:00.020 hawkish

00:31:01.400 immigration

00:31:04.580 restrictionists

00:31:05.540 in the mainstream

00:31:06.840 top-tier

00:31:08.340 Republican Party,

00:31:09.380 you know,

00:31:09.620 winning votes,

00:31:10.300 getting things

00:31:10.760 done,

00:31:12.280 say,

00:31:13.620 legal immigration

00:31:14.360 is good

00:31:15.140 and there should

00:31:15.520 be more of it.

00:31:16.160 Illegal immigration 1.00

00:31:16.840 is bad

00:31:17.300 and there should

00:31:17.640 be less of it.

00:31:18.200 That's the most

00:31:18.860 extreme version.

00:31:19.840 Even though,

00:31:21.260 depending on which

00:31:21.780 survey you look at,

00:31:22.420 most people want

00:31:23.100 less immigration 0.99

00:31:23.860 overall,

00:31:24.400 significantly less

00:31:25.020 immigration overall.

00:31:25.900 in terms of

00:31:27.180 mainstream politicians,

00:31:28.680 the furthest

00:31:30.220 restrictionists

00:31:31.200 you're going to

00:31:31.480 see is people

00:31:33.960 who say,

00:31:34.620 we need more

00:31:34.980 legal immigration,

00:31:35.840 less illegal

00:31:37.460 immigration.

00:31:38.040 So, okay,

00:31:38.440 you're not dealing

00:31:38.880 with your migration

00:31:39.420 problem.

00:31:39.920 And then for

00:31:40.220 secularism,

00:31:40.820 how many people

00:31:42.200 in the mainstream

00:31:42.820 of public life

00:31:43.440 are coming out

00:31:43.880 and saying,

00:31:44.940 we need limits

00:31:47.220 to religious liberty?

00:31:48.780 On the left,

00:31:49.320 they're saying that.

00:31:50.040 They're saying,

00:31:50.620 we need to spy

00:31:51.220 on the Catholic

00:31:51.720 churches and we

00:31:52.820 need to take

00:31:53.700 Christians' kids 0.99

00:31:54.380 away from them

00:31:55.120 and they're saying

00:31:55.720 all sorts to limit

00:31:56.540 Christians' political

00:31:57.380 and religious rights.

00:31:58.920 But on the right,

00:32:01.260 are there any

00:32:01.880 Republican politicians

00:32:02.620 saying,

00:32:03.000 you know,

00:32:03.200 we need to dial

00:32:05.620 this back a little bit

00:32:06.500 and we need to set

00:32:07.480 some limits

00:32:08.100 and taboos 0.56

00:32:09.060 and standards

00:32:09.600 and norms?

00:32:10.940 No.

00:32:12.040 So we can point

00:32:13.200 our fingers

00:32:13.540 and blame the illegal

00:32:14.180 aliens all we want. 0.95

00:32:15.000 It's a much deeper

00:32:15.940 political problem.

00:32:16.860 Now, speaking of

00:32:17.360 changing taboos,

00:32:18.820 here is a really

00:32:19.880 sad story.

00:32:21.440 Headline yesterday

00:32:22.220 making its way

00:32:22.800 around the internet

00:32:23.280 from the Times.

00:32:25.300 It's the Times of London.

00:32:27.620 I wanted to donate

00:32:28.620 my eggs.

00:32:29.540 Sadly,

00:32:29.960 it was too late.

00:32:32.420 Verity Stockdale,

00:32:33.820 34,

00:32:34.380 on why she dreamt

00:32:35.300 of helping a stranger

00:32:36.360 to become a parent.

00:32:39.680 I'm not going to

00:32:40.420 read the whole piece.

00:32:41.300 Here's just one paragraph.

00:32:43.340 You know,

00:32:43.580 she was thinking

00:32:43.960 about having kids.

00:32:44.740 She was thinking

00:32:44.960 about freezing

00:32:45.400 her own eggs.

00:32:46.060 She was thinking

00:32:46.380 about doing IVF

00:32:47.320 later on down the road,

00:32:48.480 but it's hard

00:32:49.080 and it does carry

00:32:50.600 health risks

00:32:51.280 and it often doesn't work.

00:32:52.560 So she says,

00:32:53.720 it was while doing

00:32:54.680 these mental acrobatics

00:32:56.000 that I started

00:32:56.560 to quietly fall in love

00:32:58.200 with the idea

00:33:00.120 of donating

00:33:01.040 my eggs instead.

00:33:02.660 To help someone

00:33:03.380 to have a family

00:33:04.680 now felt like

00:33:05.780 I could be a part

00:33:06.740 of the journey

00:33:07.360 of creating one,

00:33:08.400 regardless of whether

00:33:09.220 or not my body

00:33:09.940 would play ball

00:33:10.560 to do the same

00:33:11.120 for me in the future.

00:33:12.080 To help a stranger

00:33:12.780 to become a parent,

00:33:14.080 just as someone

00:33:14.740 may help me

00:33:15.440 to do the same

00:33:16.000 in years to come

00:33:16.500 biologically or otherwise,

00:33:17.740 didn't matter.

00:33:18.420 Suddenly,

00:33:18.700 it all clicked

00:33:19.100 into place.

00:33:20.500 But now,

00:33:21.220 you know,

00:33:21.420 her eggs

00:33:21.760 are not valuable

00:33:23.560 on the open marketplace

00:33:24.480 so she can't do it.

00:33:28.300 This shows you

00:33:29.320 the true evil

00:33:30.860 of capitalism

00:33:32.160 unchecked by morality.

00:33:35.380 This is not a problem

00:33:36.580 of communism.

00:33:37.660 This is not a problem

00:33:38.540 of socialism.

00:33:39.360 This is a problem

00:33:40.000 of capitalism.

00:33:42.320 People

00:33:42.760 viewing

00:33:44.360 their own bodies

00:33:45.740 as mere commodities

00:33:47.700 to be traded.

00:33:49.180 People viewing

00:33:49.900 even worse than that.

00:33:52.020 People viewing

00:33:52.700 their children

00:33:54.280 or prospective children

00:33:56.520 as commodities

00:33:58.300 to be bought

00:33:59.080 and sold.

00:34:00.560 That's a big problem.

00:34:02.980 And I can already hear

00:34:04.720 the rebuttal to this.

00:34:08.620 People are going to say,

00:34:09.520 Michael,

00:34:10.160 if there's some problem

00:34:12.320 with a woman

00:34:12.820 selling her eggs

00:34:13.780 or even donating her eggs,

00:34:15.740 but nevertheless

00:34:16.500 treating her eggs 0.74

00:34:17.520 like a commodity.

00:34:19.680 And we're just talking

00:34:20.200 about eggs here,

00:34:20.900 unfertilized.

00:34:21.640 So we don't even know

00:34:22.340 who the anonymous father

00:34:23.640 will be yet

00:34:24.200 to create this child

00:34:25.120 intentionally created

00:34:26.120 to be deprived

00:34:26.720 of his natural mother

00:34:27.440 and father.

00:34:28.840 Well,

00:34:29.360 Michael,

00:34:30.220 then don't you

00:34:31.600 have to oppose

00:34:32.440 adoption?

00:34:33.820 Because adoption

00:34:34.620 also creates

00:34:36.340 a marketplace

00:34:37.060 for babies

00:34:38.300 to be donated

00:34:39.260 and to be,

00:34:40.200 well,

00:34:40.500 then to be adopted.

00:34:42.160 No.

00:34:43.100 No, no, no.

00:34:43.720 There are similarities

00:34:44.760 so I understand

00:34:45.440 why people might

00:34:46.120 conclude that.

00:34:48.100 The key moral

00:34:49.620 distinction here

00:34:50.340 is that

00:34:51.800 adoption

00:34:52.900 helps to rectify

00:34:54.720 moral wrongs.

00:34:57.040 You know,

00:34:57.280 a teenage couple 0.93

00:34:58.180 has premarital sex 0.95

00:35:00.560 and they're not ready 0.88

00:35:01.800 to have a baby.

00:35:04.600 But the mother

00:35:05.580 doesn't want to kill

00:35:06.220 her baby,

00:35:06.780 so they put the baby

00:35:07.540 up for adoption.

00:35:08.860 And then a married couple

00:35:10.380 adopts that baby.

00:35:11.820 And that's a beautiful

00:35:13.120 act of grace

00:35:14.140 and charity

00:35:14.760 that helps to rectify

00:35:16.140 the evil

00:35:16.780 of having 0.78

00:35:18.240 the premarital sex 0.88

00:35:19.160 which created

00:35:20.860 a child

00:35:21.440 that will not

00:35:22.840 be raised

00:35:24.200 by his natural

00:35:25.500 mother and father.

00:35:26.540 But hey,

00:35:27.220 look,

00:35:27.420 there's this amazing

00:35:28.020 way to rectify it

00:35:28.840 where adoptive parents

00:35:30.340 will take that child,

00:35:31.340 bring the child

00:35:31.860 into a loving home.

00:35:33.200 The mother

00:35:34.260 will give up

00:35:35.420 the child,

00:35:36.180 which is a difficult

00:35:36.840 act even,

00:35:37.820 and will certainly

00:35:38.900 give the child

00:35:39.380 the right to life.

00:35:40.100 Wow,

00:35:40.320 that's a beautiful

00:35:41.020 charitable way

00:35:42.120 of rectifying

00:35:43.020 something that

00:35:44.620 had gone wrong.

00:35:46.500 In the case

00:35:48.120 of egg donation

00:35:48.900 and the whole

00:35:49.480 new baby industry,

00:35:51.680 you are intentionally

00:35:53.580 doing the wrong.

00:35:55.860 You are establishing

00:35:56.920 a market

00:35:57.460 to incentivize,

00:35:58.580 to pay people,

00:35:59.700 to do more

00:36:00.880 wrong things,

00:36:02.540 namely to trade

00:36:03.560 their children

00:36:04.040 and potential children

00:36:04.940 as commodities

00:36:06.080 on an open market.

00:36:07.620 That's the big difference.

00:36:09.380 Adoption

00:36:11.300 rectifies a wrong

00:36:12.220 that has been done.

00:36:13.720 The new baby industry

00:36:15.100 creates

00:36:17.200 and encourages

00:36:18.000 more wrongs

00:36:19.460 and a denial

00:36:20.560 of the legitimate

00:36:21.300 rights of the child.

00:36:24.660 I am actually glad

00:36:26.800 that this woman

00:36:27.260 can't donate her eggs 1.00

00:36:28.140 because that's

00:36:28.480 a terrible thing

00:36:29.680 to do.

00:36:30.500 Because she,

00:36:31.340 the people who do

00:36:32.680 do this

00:36:33.340 will probably view

00:36:34.560 it as a very charitable act.

00:36:35.620 I can help,

00:36:36.460 you know,

00:36:36.760 someone else

00:36:37.380 to have a child.

00:36:38.660 People could also

00:36:39.440 adopt, by the way.

00:36:40.600 But they say,

00:36:41.800 no, I'm donating.

00:36:42.560 Isn't this so wonderful?

00:36:43.120 What a great act of charity.

00:36:44.140 Well, what about

00:36:44.640 for your kid?

00:36:45.760 What about for your kid

00:36:46.800 who you are

00:36:47.280 intentionally putting

00:36:48.140 in a place

00:36:48.580 of never having known

00:36:50.380 his or her

00:36:51.540 natural mother?

00:36:52.320 One of the most

00:36:52.680 important bonds

00:36:53.520 that a human being

00:36:54.180 can have.

00:36:55.620 What about the charity

00:36:56.580 for your kid?

00:36:57.860 How about charity

00:36:58.420 starts at home?

00:37:00.080 How about you consider

00:37:00.920 that there are

00:37:01.680 orders of charity

00:37:02.880 and priorities

00:37:04.140 of responsibility

00:37:04.900 that you had.

00:37:06.060 But no,

00:37:07.240 in liberalism,

00:37:09.640 we care so much

00:37:11.160 for the anonymous person

00:37:12.400 on the other side

00:37:12.920 of the world.

00:37:13.400 Oh, we care so much

00:37:14.880 for that person

00:37:15.600 in theory.

00:37:18.400 But we ignore

00:37:19.520 our responsibilities

00:37:20.640 to our kids,

00:37:22.700 our families,

00:37:23.380 our local communities,

00:37:24.520 our friends,

00:37:25.920 people down the street

00:37:26.660 we don't talk to anymore

00:37:27.440 because they vote

00:37:27.840 for Trump or something.

00:37:29.080 Our kids,

00:37:29.840 we actually sell

00:37:31.040 our kids down the river.

00:37:31.780 But the anonymous person

00:37:34.780 on the other side

00:37:35.220 of the world,

00:37:35.620 oh, that's how charitable

00:37:37.420 you are.

00:37:37.880 That's a great perversion

00:37:39.160 and it is a perversion

00:37:40.400 of liberalism,

00:37:41.160 of capitalism,

00:37:42.140 which says that

00:37:43.880 all human interaction

00:37:45.480 can be boiled down

00:37:46.420 into monetary transactions,

00:37:48.680 none of which

00:37:49.360 are any more meaningful

00:37:50.760 than any others.

00:37:51.680 It's all just an open market

00:37:52.860 and a global marketplace.

00:37:54.900 Happy trading.

00:37:56.500 Not good.

00:37:57.940 My favorite comment

00:37:59.060 on Friday

00:37:59.480 is from Rat Boyd

00:38:00.540 who says,

00:38:00.900 you can't just say

00:38:01.920 January 6th

00:38:02.980 like that, Michael.

00:38:04.440 It needs more.

00:38:05.460 You're right.

00:38:06.060 Sorry.

00:38:07.420 You can't just say it like that.

00:38:08.480 It needs to sound like

00:38:09.580 the kind of name

00:38:11.800 that carries the weight

00:38:13.100 and the significance

00:38:14.880 of the worst day

00:38:17.480 in the history

00:38:19.080 of this or any republic

00:38:20.320 January 6th,

00:38:23.900 which is now explaining

00:38:25.640 why the Cheneys

00:38:27.000 are endorsing

00:38:27.680 a radical socialist

00:38:30.920 raised in a Marxist household

00:38:32.780 and why George W. Bush

00:38:35.260 won't endorse

00:38:35.780 the Republican nominee

00:38:36.480 for president.

00:38:45.420 Speaking of critics

00:38:46.440 of capitalism

00:38:47.140 and rather far left people

00:38:49.240 in our politics,

00:38:50.000 Bernie Sanders

00:38:50.600 is coming out

00:38:52.120 stumping

00:38:52.600 for Kamala Harris.

00:38:55.200 He appeared

00:38:55.540 as a Harris surrogate

00:38:56.620 on NBC's

00:38:57.640 Meet the Press

00:38:58.340 to defend

00:38:59.880 one of the hardest,

00:39:01.460 least defensible aspects

00:39:03.040 of Kamala's

00:39:04.460 political life,

00:39:05.720 namely

00:39:06.060 that she,

00:39:08.060 as a presidential candidate,

00:39:09.260 has flip-flopped

00:39:10.380 on some of her

00:39:11.340 most ardently held

00:39:12.780 positions.

00:39:13.560 No, I don't think

00:39:14.600 she's abandoning 1.00

00:39:15.760 her ideals.

00:39:16.840 I think she's trying

00:39:17.560 to be pragmatic

00:39:18.660 and doing what she thinks

00:39:20.720 is right in order

00:39:21.580 to win the election.

00:39:23.240 My own view

00:39:24.200 is slightly different.

00:39:25.600 I think

00:39:26.260 that in America today

00:39:28.160 there are a lot

00:39:29.040 of people,

00:39:29.880 rural people,

00:39:31.200 working class people,

00:39:32.420 who no longer believe

00:39:33.980 that the United States

00:39:35.120 Congress and government

00:39:36.540 represents their interests,

00:39:37.860 who are dominated

00:39:38.380 by big money interests.

00:39:40.020 So I think

00:39:41.800 that there is

00:39:42.820 something wrong personally

00:39:43.840 when we are

00:39:44.640 the only major country

00:39:45.800 on Earth

00:39:46.140 not to guarantee

00:39:47.280 health care

00:39:47.760 to all of our people

00:39:49.520 despite spending

00:39:50.560 twice as much

00:39:51.260 per capita.

00:39:51.920 That is why

00:39:52.420 I support

00:39:53.140 Medicare for All.

00:39:54.260 Do you still consider

00:39:55.600 Vice President Kamala Harris

00:39:57.160 to be progressive,

00:39:58.180 Senator?

00:39:58.720 I do.

00:39:59.540 I do, of course.

00:40:00.680 Did you not hear

00:40:01.220 what I just said?

00:40:02.740 I said she's lying

00:40:03.860 to win an election.

00:40:05.660 Get the cotton balls

00:40:06.700 out of your ears,

00:40:07.440 lady.

00:40:08.860 That's not a great

00:40:09.760 I used to do

00:40:11.020 a better Bernie Sanders

00:40:12.020 than that.

00:40:13.200 Now, I don't know.

00:40:13.840 It's becoming

00:40:14.260 a little bit more

00:40:14.880 like Rodney Dangerfield

00:40:17.180 or something.

00:40:17.620 You all know my doctor,

00:40:18.420 Dr. Vinnie Boombats?

00:40:19.180 I don't know.

00:40:19.540 But that's the point.

00:40:21.040 He says it right there

00:40:21.780 in the first few lines.

00:40:23.580 I don't think

00:40:24.320 she's abandoning 1.00

00:40:25.000 her ideals.

00:40:26.460 That is,

00:40:27.080 she still believes

00:40:28.020 what she has said

00:40:28.940 she believes

00:40:29.480 for many years now

00:40:30.400 when she was

00:40:31.120 to the left of me

00:40:32.080 in the U.S. Senate.

00:40:33.580 I think she's

00:40:34.480 trying to be pragmatic.

00:40:35.940 That's another word

00:40:36.680 in this case.

00:40:37.420 That's a euphemism

00:40:38.020 for cynical

00:40:39.100 and dishonest

00:40:40.320 and doing what

00:40:41.740 she thinks is right

00:40:42.480 in order to win

00:40:43.100 the election.

00:40:44.680 But, look,

00:40:45.380 I support

00:40:45.740 Medicare for All.

00:40:46.480 Well, Kamala

00:40:46.800 supports Medicare for All.

00:40:47.880 She said so

00:40:48.560 explicitly.

00:40:50.520 Medicare for All

00:40:50.980 for illegal aliens, too.

00:40:53.440 She supports

00:40:54.160 socialized medicine.

00:40:55.520 She supports abortion 1.00

00:40:56.440 on demand

00:40:57.020 up until the moment

00:40:57.640 of birth, at least.

00:40:58.440 She supports

00:40:59.140 the radical LGBT policy.

00:41:01.060 She supports

00:41:01.500 transing her kids.

00:41:02.320 She supports

00:41:02.900 open borders.

00:41:03.880 She supports

00:41:04.240 all this stuff.

00:41:04.860 And the way

00:41:07.340 that Bernie's

00:41:07.800 defending her 0.97

00:41:08.220 is he's saying,

00:41:08.620 yeah, she's lying

00:41:09.320 to win the election.

00:41:10.200 But don't worry,

00:41:10.760 she's still a progressive.

00:41:11.780 She still holds

00:41:12.380 all those ideals. 1.00

00:41:13.860 She's just a liar. 1.00

00:41:14.720 But that's good. 1.00

00:41:15.300 She should lie

00:41:15.780 to win elections

00:41:16.380 because we don't believe

00:41:17.080 in an objective

00:41:17.580 moral order.

00:41:18.460 If there is one,

00:41:19.200 we're going to violate

00:41:19.740 it anyway.

00:41:20.880 We're going to do

00:41:21.420 whatever it takes.

00:41:22.120 We think the ends

00:41:22.620 justify the means.

00:41:23.640 So, yeah,

00:41:23.980 she's going to lie.

00:41:24.620 Listen, NBC,

00:41:25.580 don't worry. 1.00

00:41:27.400 She's a liar, 1.00

00:41:28.480 but we're going to have 1.00

00:41:29.440 the most radically

00:41:30.260 leftist presidential

00:41:31.140 administration ever

00:41:31.960 if Kamala Harris wins.

00:41:33.340 That's what he's saying.

00:41:34.860 It's not just

00:41:35.240 Bernie saying this.

00:41:36.560 Pennsylvania Governor

00:41:37.200 Josh Shapiro

00:41:38.020 put it in a slightly

00:41:39.120 more delicate way.

00:41:41.040 He, too,

00:41:42.080 went on a liberal

00:41:43.520 news show,

00:41:44.800 The View on ABC,

00:41:46.660 to defend

00:41:47.440 Kamala Harris's

00:41:48.400 flip-flopping.

00:41:49.340 And rather

00:41:50.020 than go all the way

00:41:52.560 with Bernie

00:41:53.100 and say,

00:41:53.960 yeah, no,

00:41:54.360 she flip-flopped,

00:41:55.100 but it's because 1.00

00:41:55.580 she's a cynical liar. 1.00

00:41:56.680 Don't worry. 1.00

00:41:57.160 She doesn't mean

00:41:57.580 anything she's saying

00:41:58.200 right now.

00:41:59.380 Josh Shapiro

00:42:00.300 tried to spin it

00:42:01.460 in a way

00:42:02.380 that's probably

00:42:02.860 more palatable

00:42:03.600 to middle America.

00:42:04.460 He said,

00:42:04.820 no, no, no.

00:42:05.760 Yes, she has flip-flopped 1.00

00:42:07.060 and the flip-flops

00:42:07.920 are sincere.

00:42:09.280 She really has

00:42:10.040 moderated her views.

00:42:11.020 She no longer

00:42:11.560 is a progressive

00:42:12.440 and her flip-flopping

00:42:14.120 is her strength.

00:42:16.100 Do you think

00:42:16.780 it's a strategic mistake

00:42:18.040 that she hasn't

00:42:18.840 explained some

00:42:19.880 of these positions

00:42:20.920 she's changed on

00:42:21.820 more ahead of the debate

00:42:23.000 is because she's 0.80

00:42:24.460 obviously going to

00:42:25.040 get challenged

00:42:25.600 on some of these

00:42:26.420 on a debate stage?

00:42:27.780 Well, first,

00:42:28.940 look,

00:42:29.140 I think it's a sign

00:42:30.140 of strength

00:42:30.680 when you evolve

00:42:31.800 on a position.

00:42:32.740 I agree.

00:42:34.020 Clearly,

00:42:34.520 Kamala Harris

00:42:34.980 has been listening

00:42:35.740 to good people

00:42:36.280 of Pennsylvania

00:42:36.740 when it comes

00:42:37.300 to natural gas.

00:42:38.740 It's a sign

00:42:39.400 of strength

00:42:40.040 when one evolves

00:42:41.660 on a position.

00:42:42.360 So Kamala Harris

00:42:43.360 said repeatedly

00:42:44.280 and emphatically

00:42:45.340 for years

00:42:46.120 that she wants

00:42:46.700 to completely

00:42:47.520 get rid of fracking.

00:42:48.740 This is while

00:42:49.380 she was a member

00:42:49.900 of the U.S. Senate.

00:42:50.840 This is while

00:42:51.200 she was running

00:42:51.640 for president.

00:42:52.520 This is after

00:42:53.060 she had been

00:42:53.440 Attorney General

00:42:54.040 of California.

00:42:55.480 This is a woman

00:42:56.020 who had been

00:42:56.460 in public life

00:42:57.040 for a long time.

00:42:57.680 She'd thought

00:42:57.980 about the question

00:42:58.520 of fracking.

00:42:59.520 She said,

00:43:00.060 no, I'm staking out

00:43:00.800 the most radical

00:43:01.480 position here.

00:43:03.000 By the way,

00:43:03.440 when people stake

00:43:03.940 out radical positions,

00:43:04.940 it's usually because

00:43:05.940 they have thought

00:43:06.680 about an issue a lot.

00:43:07.640 When you have

00:43:08.000 a squishy,

00:43:08.680 moderate,

00:43:09.100 vacillating position,

00:43:10.260 maybe you just

00:43:10.940 haven't given

00:43:11.560 much thought

00:43:12.000 to the issue.

00:43:12.920 When you stake

00:43:13.860 out a radical position

00:43:14.960 consistently over and over,

00:43:16.380 that's usually

00:43:16.880 because you've given

00:43:17.500 it a lot of thought.

00:43:19.600 Think about the people

00:43:20.440 who are rabidly pro-life

00:43:22.580 or rabidly pro-choice.

00:43:24.580 Pro-choice,

00:43:25.340 pro-abortion.

00:43:26.620 Even I'm getting

00:43:27.760 caught in their euphemisms.

00:43:29.260 Well, the people

00:43:29.780 who have really

00:43:30.500 radical views on it,

00:43:32.500 say what you will

00:43:33.180 about them.

00:43:34.580 The pro-lifers

00:43:35.300 are correct.

00:43:35.980 The pro-abortion 0.99

00:43:36.840 people are incorrect.

00:43:37.860 But at the very least,

00:43:38.660 they've both thought

00:43:39.380 about their positions.

00:43:41.520 Usually.

00:43:42.880 It's the people

00:43:43.620 in the middle

00:43:44.080 who have really

00:43:44.940 incoherent views.

00:43:45.880 Well, I think

00:43:46.440 we shouldn't kill

00:43:47.060 the babies at 20 weeks,

00:43:48.760 but at 19 weeks 0.99

00:43:49.560 we should kill 1.00

00:43:50.100 the babies. 1.00

00:43:51.560 It's about

00:43:52.280 when the baby

00:43:53.280 can feel pain.

00:43:54.120 Or no,

00:43:54.500 it's about

00:43:54.800 when the baby

00:43:55.140 is viable.

00:43:55.900 Or no,

00:43:56.300 it's about

00:43:56.580 when the baby

00:43:56.980 is in another

00:43:57.420 trimester.

00:43:58.240 Those things

00:43:59.000 don't make sense.

00:44:00.860 Kamala Harris

00:44:01.640 has not been

00:44:03.180 listening to the

00:44:04.160 voters of Pennsylvania,

00:44:05.140 I promise you.

00:44:07.940 But Kamala Harris 0.56

00:44:08.940 has been reading

00:44:10.640 public opinion polls

00:44:11.640 and that way

00:44:12.040 she's been listening

00:44:12.560 to us.

00:44:13.080 She's recognized

00:44:13.860 that the voters

00:44:14.440 are telling her

00:44:14.900 we're not going

00:44:15.220 to elect you

00:44:15.820 if you continue

00:44:16.700 to hold this view.

00:44:17.320 But I don't think

00:44:18.180 the voters

00:44:18.480 have persuaded her

00:44:19.580 on the rightness

00:44:21.020 or wrongness

00:44:21.620 of that opinion.

00:44:22.740 She's just 0.92

00:44:23.400 a cynical politician. 0.91

00:44:25.240 It's a sign

00:44:26.080 of strength

00:44:27.360 to flip-flop.

00:44:28.860 It can be.

00:44:30.580 There are certain

00:44:31.260 positions over the years

00:44:32.720 that I have

00:44:34.200 developed.

00:44:35.460 I believe

00:44:36.120 a number of things

00:44:37.580 differently now

00:44:38.540 than I did

00:44:39.100 10 or 15 years ago.

00:44:40.580 Sure.

00:44:41.780 But there's been

00:44:42.520 a kind of coherence

00:44:43.440 to it.

00:44:44.620 My views have become

00:44:45.860 more coherently

00:44:47.340 conservative

00:44:47.860 as I've given

00:44:48.500 deeper thought

00:44:49.680 to these matters.

00:44:52.100 And the positions

00:44:52.980 I held

00:44:53.500 that were really wrong,

00:44:54.540 you know,

00:44:54.700 I held those positions

00:44:55.460 when I was 17,

00:44:56.440 18 years old,

00:44:57.380 when I was some punk

00:44:58.300 kid in high school

00:44:58.940 or college.

00:45:00.920 I didn't hold

00:45:01.640 those positions

00:45:02.140 when I was

00:45:02.760 a member

00:45:03.680 of the U.S. Senate.

00:45:05.180 I didn't hold

00:45:05.880 those positions

00:45:06.380 when I was

00:45:06.720 vice president

00:45:07.480 of the United States. 0.99

00:45:09.820 So silly. 0.99

00:45:11.940 It's also why 0.99

00:45:12.740 I give Trump

00:45:13.240 a little bit of grace

00:45:14.060 when he speaks

00:45:14.800 in a vague way

00:45:16.340 about certain aspects

00:45:18.040 of public policy.

00:45:19.640 Look,

00:45:19.940 you're going up

00:45:20.600 against people

00:45:21.040 who are cynically

00:45:21.720 lying through their teeth

00:45:22.960 about everything

00:45:23.660 they believe

00:45:24.160 to win an election.

00:45:25.280 If Trump wants

00:45:25.960 to be a little bit vague

00:45:26.980 on certain

00:45:27.460 controversial issues,

00:45:29.320 it doesn't keep me

00:45:30.560 up at night.

00:45:31.020 I want to make sure

00:45:31.560 that when he's president,

00:45:32.420 he's firm

00:45:33.380 on those important issues,

00:45:34.620 on those matters

00:45:35.060 of principle.

00:45:36.900 But give me a break.

00:45:38.780 Look at how this lady 1.00

00:45:39.600 and her flax

00:45:40.280 are lying through

00:45:40.820 their teeth.

00:45:41.380 Now,

00:45:41.500 the only

00:45:42.960 worst defender

00:45:44.700 of Kamala Harris

00:45:45.440 than Pennsylvania

00:45:47.080 Governor Josh Shapiro

00:45:47.920 and then Bernie Sanders

00:45:48.960 is,

00:45:49.960 ironically,

00:45:50.880 Kamala's own spokesman,

00:45:52.320 Ian Sams.

00:45:53.100 This guy,

00:45:53.460 Ian Sams

00:45:54.120 at the White House.

00:45:56.620 I'm sorry,

00:45:57.260 he's not at the White House.

00:45:57.920 He's now at the campaign.

00:45:59.440 Senior national spokesman

00:46:00.740 for the Harris-Walls campaign

00:46:02.300 has come out

00:46:05.540 on CNN

00:46:06.020 was asked a very simple

00:46:08.400 question,

00:46:09.080 can you defend

00:46:10.220 Kamala Harris's record

00:46:11.720 as vice president,

00:46:12.820 the role she currently

00:46:13.560 occupies,

00:46:14.140 the role she's held

00:46:14.560 for three years,

00:46:15.540 the role that is the reason

00:46:16.760 she is the Democrat nominee

00:46:17.940 for president in 2024.

00:46:19.860 And here's his answer.

00:46:21.820 But she's been part

00:46:23.320 of the Biden administration.

00:46:24.680 I mean,

00:46:24.760 she has been part

00:46:25.500 of the Democratic,

00:46:26.780 Democrats have been

00:46:27.360 in control of the country

00:46:28.020 for the last three

00:46:29.180 going on four years,

00:46:30.600 and you are still

00:46:31.700 seeing this in the polling.

00:46:32.960 I mean,

00:46:33.040 these working class voters

00:46:33.880 are telling us right now

00:46:34.780 that more of them

00:46:35.480 are with Donald Trump

00:46:37.140 than Kamala Harris.

00:46:38.160 Why?

00:46:38.760 What is it about

00:46:39.480 what you guys have been doing

00:46:40.360 for the last three plus years

00:46:41.800 that explains that?

00:46:43.300 Well,

00:46:44.980 I think,

00:46:45.280 again,

00:46:45.480 we're trying to talk

00:46:46.260 to the voters

00:46:46.740 and explain this message.

00:46:47.980 We've got 60 days

00:46:48.900 until the election.

00:46:50.600 You know,

00:46:50.820 we don't have time

00:46:51.520 to sit around

00:46:52.060 and think about

00:46:52.580 why over the last few years

00:46:53.860 certain things

00:46:54.480 may have happened

00:46:55.120 or may not have happened.

00:46:56.200 We've got to go win an election.

00:46:57.400 And the vice president

00:46:58.040 is doing that

00:46:58.600 by talking about

00:46:59.460 her economic vision.

00:47:00.940 And it's really different.

00:47:02.240 It's really different.

00:47:03.960 Wait,

00:47:04.220 hey,

00:47:04.420 hey,

00:47:05.020 come on.

00:47:05.500 This is CNN.

00:47:06.060 Why are you asking me

00:47:06.540 tough questions?

00:47:07.300 We don't have time

00:47:09.040 to talk about

00:47:10.800 Kamala's record

00:47:11.800 in the White House.

00:47:12.660 We've got to make sure

00:47:14.120 she wins the White House.

00:47:16.140 There's no time

00:47:17.260 to talk about

00:47:18.260 the things she's done

00:47:19.900 and the policies

00:47:21.160 she currently supports.

00:47:23.560 We've got to go out there

00:47:24.620 and win an election.

00:47:25.620 And to do that,

00:47:26.380 we have to figure out

00:47:27.220 what voters want us to say

00:47:28.480 and then whether we support

00:47:30.020 those things or not,

00:47:30.800 we have to say

00:47:31.620 that we do support them.

00:47:34.640 Okay?

00:47:35.160 Come on.

00:47:35.600 This is politics 101.

00:47:38.040 Why are you asking me

00:47:39.120 about the candidate?

00:47:39.740 We have an election to win.

00:47:41.220 Of course.

00:47:41.900 And her views

00:47:42.900 are different.

00:47:44.080 Her views are different.

00:47:44.900 How are her views different?

00:47:46.020 How are her policies

00:47:46.960 different from Joe Biden's?

00:47:49.440 As far as I can tell,

00:47:50.600 the only policies

00:47:51.480 that Kamala Harris

00:47:52.180 has embraced

00:47:52.820 to distinguish herself

00:47:54.360 from Joe Biden

00:47:55.100 are policies

00:47:55.880 she stole from Donald Trump.

00:47:57.720 So, okay,

00:47:58.340 I guess in that way

00:47:58.980 she's a little different

00:47:59.660 from Biden.

00:48:00.480 But what policy vision

00:48:02.840 does Kamala Harris

00:48:04.640 hold and have

00:48:06.100 that distinguishes her

00:48:08.220 from Joe Biden

00:48:09.120 or Donald Trump?

00:48:09.840 Do we have,

00:48:11.340 no,

00:48:11.440 we don't have time

00:48:11.880 for that answer either.

00:48:12.640 We got an election to win.

00:48:13.600 Okay.

00:48:14.220 I have an extremely

00:48:16.180 exciting announcement

00:48:18.540 and an extremely

00:48:20.760 important interview

00:48:21.780 coming up in this

00:48:23.540 member segment

00:48:54.340 At least not to me.

00:48:55.160 Am I racist?

00:48:56.340 I would really appreciate

00:48:57.160 it if you left.

00:48:57.620 I'm trying to learn.

00:48:58.340 I'm on this journey.

00:49:09.960 What you're doing is

00:49:10.540 you're stretching

00:49:12.700 This is more for you

00:49:13.260 than this for you.

00:49:13.680 Is America inherently racist?

00:49:15.260 The word inherent

00:49:16.200 is challenging there.
