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
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
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
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.
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
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.
00:11:01.960 You know, it's disgusting.
00:11:03.840 It's absolutely disgusting.
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.
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,
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,
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
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,
00:26:16.220 or killed
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.
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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.
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
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
00:34:58.180 has premarital sex
00:35:00.560 and they're not ready
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
00:35:18.240 the premarital sex
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
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
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
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
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
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.
00:41:13.860 She's just a liar.
00:41:14.720 But that's good.
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.
00:41:27.400 She's a liar,
00:41:28.480 but we're going to have
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
00:41:55.580 she's a cynical liar.
00:41:56.680 Don't worry.
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
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
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
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
00:43:49.560 we should kill
00:43:50.100 the babies.
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
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
00:44:23.400 a cynical politician.
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.
00:45:09.820 So silly.
00:45:11.940 It's also why
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
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
00:48:24.080 one that I've been
00:48:25.300 looking forward to
00:48:25.960 for weeks and weeks now.
00:48:27.600 The rest of the show

00:48:46.980 You cannot separate
00:48:48.260 yourselves from the
00:48:49.180 bad white people.
00:48:50.580 Growing up,
00:48:51.060 I never thought much
00:48:51.800 about race.
00:48:52.500 It never really seemed
00:48:53.260 to matter that much.
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.
00:48:59.600 I'm going to sort this out.
00:49:00.640 I need to go deeper
00:49:01.720 undercover.
00:49:03.900 They don't say I'm racist.
00:49:05.380 Joining us now is Matt,
00:49:06.640 certified DEI expert.
00:49:08.840 Here's my certification.
00:49:09.960 What you're doing is
00:49:10.540 you're stretching
00:49:11.100 out of your whiteness.
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.
00:49:17.220 I want to rename
00:49:17.740 the George Washington Monument
00:49:18.720 to the George Floyd Monument.
00:49:20.380 America is racist
00:49:21.200 to its bones.
00:49:22.260 So inherently.
00:49:23.100 Yeah, this country
00:49:23.900 is a piece of...
00:49:24.540 White folks.
00:49:27.240 Trash.
00:49:27.740 White supremacy.
00:49:28.540 White woman.
00:49:28.960 White boy.
00:49:29.640 Is there a black person
00:49:30.640 around here?
00:49:30.960 What's a black person
00:49:31.620 right here?
00:49:32.260 Does he not exist?
00:49:33.180 They don't say I'm racist.
00:49:34.860 Hi, Robin.
00:49:35.600 Hi.
00:49:35.940 What's your name?
00:49:36.900 I'm Matt.
00:49:37.400 I just had to ask
00:49:38.000 who you are
00:49:38.420 because you have
00:49:39.040 to be careful.
00:49:40.060 Never be too careful.
00:49:40.900 They gonna say you racist!
