Ep. 1591 - The UN Libs Destroy Lesbians


Summary

It's International Lesbian Day, and the United Nation seems to have abolished International Lesbian Day. What does this mean for the lesbian community? And what does it tell us about leftism in general? Plus, a call-in from a listener asking why the term "lesbian" should be expanded.

00:00:00.000 It's International Lesbian Day, Joe Biden undermines Kamala Harris, and an Afghani in
00:00:05.480 Oklahoma plans a terror attack for Election Day. I'm Michael Knowles, this is the Michael Knowles Show.
00:00:30.000 So many shenanigans around the election. Every time we think, okay, this is the last big twist,

00:02:07.640 A happy, happy lesbian day to all who celebrate. I would not encourage celebrating, but, you know,
00:02:13.780 if you do, then I hope, well, I hope you had been having a good International Lesbian Day.
00:02:20.080 The United Nations, in wishing people International Lesbian Day, in fact, appears to have abolished
00:02:28.020 International Lesbian Day. The UN posts yesterday, this is from the UN Free and Equal account,
00:02:34.440 today is International Lesbian Day. The hashtag lesbian community is incredible and diverse.
00:02:41.980 Is it diverse? Is it all that diverse? I don't know. I've known a fair number of lesbians,
00:02:47.320 relatively, and I don't know if it's the most diverse group. Well, here's how the UN explains it.
00:02:53.960 Lesbians have many gender expressions, body types, and sex characteristics. Put a pause there,
00:03:04.120 just in my experience of knowing lesbians. None of that is true. They have the same gender
00:03:12.420 expression. They have the same sex characteristics, generally kind of the same body type. The UN goes
00:03:17.580 on, they are also of any race, ethnicity, class, or background. Today, we celebrate them all.
00:03:23.920 Hashtag International Lesbian Day. So there you have it. Lesbians no longer need to be
00:03:31.120 women. They no longer need to think that they're women. They no longer need to have the biology of
00:03:39.760 women, the bodies of women, but they can still be lesbians, which means that lesbians who have
00:03:46.660 existed since, I don't know, Aristophanes wrote Lysistrata in the 5th century BC. Lesbians,
00:03:55.060 people who have not had the ordinary relations with the opposite sex, these ladies have been
00:04:01.880 around for a long time, until 2024. Now, lesbians have been abolished because the UN says so.
00:04:10.500 What does this tell us? This tells us, you can hear I'm getting so choked up about the loss of
00:04:15.880 International Lesbian Day. What this tells us is that leftism is all destruction. It's all
00:04:24.960 tearing things down. Even the weird stuff that the lesbians want to build, they end up destroying
00:04:33.600 because leftism, liberalism broadly, is just like an acid that you pour on institutions and that
00:04:42.700 slowly breaks down those institutions, sometimes slowly, sometimes more quickly.
00:04:48.660 International Lesbian Day is not a particularly traditional holiday. It's not Christmas. It's not
00:04:55.940 Easter. It's not even Arbor Day. It's a holiday of a relatively recent vintage. It's a liberal holiday
00:05:05.300 to celebrate weird sex stuff, which is what seems like most liberal holidays are these days.
00:05:10.000 But it's over now because a lesbian is defined as being a woman who does things that husbands and
00:05:19.160 wives are supposed to do with other women. And so if you expand International Lesbian Day,
00:05:27.440 if you expand the category of lesbian to include people who are not women, if you expand the category
00:05:32.800 of lesbian to include people who are not attracted to women, then you don't enlarge the scope of
00:05:40.900 lesbianism. You abolish lesbianism. So the libs have abolished lesbianism. I don't know. I guess
00:05:47.300 the libs and the extremely traditional people, they're shaking hands now, I guess, on this subject.
00:05:52.960 But the left is doing it unintentionally. The left is doing it because the left can only destroy.
00:05:58.840 That has been true since the term leftism came about as a result of the French Revolution. All they
00:06:05.540 can do is tear down. They can't build up even the things that they wish to build, even their own
00:06:10.840 fantasies. They can't build up. Now, speaking of incoherent lectures from people involved in foreign
00:06:19.180 affairs, we turn from the United Nations to Kamala Harris, who gave this word salad as an answer to a
00:06:26.420 question on Israel on 60 Minutes. It seems that Prime Minister Netanyahu is not listening.
00:06:34.280 Well, Bill, the work that we have done has resulted in a number of movements in that region by Israel
00:06:45.040 that were very much prompted by or a result of many things, including our advocacy for what needs to
00:06:54.720 happen in the region. Well, we have done many things with regard to Israel that has led to or been the
00:07:07.520 result of, it's kind of like an Ouroboros eating its own tail, the result of the things that have been
00:07:14.840 done by us and by other people to us and for us and from us. So before we play the really brilliant
00:07:25.200 discovery made by the video editor Mays that shows you the corruption of the establishment media,
00:07:30.460 just go back. Go back to that. This is Kamala Harris's actual answer to this question.
00:07:38.340 It seems that Prime Minister Netanyahu is not listening.
00:07:44.000 Well, Bill, the work that we have done has resulted in a number of movements in that region by Israel
00:07:54.260 that were very much prompted by or a result of many things, including our advocacy for what needs to happen.
00:08:04.220 Including our advocacy. Nothing she said means anything. I guess individually the components
00:08:11.260 might mean something, but she said that we have done things that have had consequences,
00:08:16.100 but they've also been results. They've been effects of things that have been done and that are happening
00:08:21.540 and things that will happen in the future that involve us and other people. So that's why I should
00:08:29.720 be the leader of the free world. Because I understand that we have done things and things
00:08:34.360 have been done to us. And the things that we do have causes and effects. And you didn't fall out
00:08:41.920 of a coconut tree. So that's bad enough. I mean, that is a really egregious answer. And this was played
00:08:46.580 as a teaser to this interview on 60 Minutes. Now, take a listen to the answer as edited and aired
00:08:54.540 by 60 Minutes. But it seems that Prime Minister Netanyahu is not listening.
00:09:00.900 We're not going to stop pursuing what is necessary for the United States to be clear about where we
00:09:06.380 stand on the need for this war to end. Hold on, what? That's a totally different answer.
00:09:14.680 That's a completely dishonestly edited answer. Hat tip to May's excellent video editor for finding that.
00:09:24.540 The actual answer was that word salad that said nothing that's humiliating to her campaign.
00:09:30.020 The edited answer was still not good, but it at least pertained to the question.
00:09:36.280 Yikes, man, this is really egregious stuff. And five years ago, certainly 10 years ago,
00:09:44.260 the establishment media probably could have gotten away with this. Even really, I don't know,
00:09:48.840 three or four years ago, before Elon Musk had really taken over Twitter and refashioned it into a
00:09:54.180 place where conservatives can get the message out, probably the establishment media would have
00:09:58.560 gotten away with this. Now, however, we've heard her real answer. And we can furthermore see the
00:10:04.680 corruption of the establishment media. And I think it makes both Kamala Harris and the media look much
00:10:09.840 worse. And the takeaway, not only from Kamala's answer, but then the desperate and I think failed
00:10:15.840 attempt to cover up her answer, is that this woman just is not in command of a lot of facts.
00:10:22.040 And this woman just might not be the brightest bulb in the pack, sharpest tool in the shed. Catch what
00:10:29.700 I'm saying? The presidency of the United States, believe it or not, does require some basic
00:10:37.660 intelligence and knowledge. We talk about the presidency now as though all that matters is
00:10:43.360 ideology. You know, all that matters is where you stand on these particular issues. And political
00:10:52.140 views and premises and policies, they matter a lot. There is also just a basic competence that is
00:10:57.900 required of the job. It's a big job. You need to be at least a little bit smart and you need to have at
00:11:03.960 least a little bit of knowledge. Kamala Harris has not demonstrated either of those things. And the fact
00:11:10.580 that the network news establishment media has to lie on her behalf this late in the game is real bad
00:11:17.680 news for her. There's so much more to say. First though, go to roe.co slash Knowles. New Roe Sparks

00:12:32.220 have already seen my latest episode of Michael and my long form freewheeling interview series
00:12:37.220 where I sit down with people you might not have heard from or even heard of before. In this latest
00:12:41.760 episode, I sit down with John Ramirez, a former Satanist with a powerful testimony that exposes
00:12:46.920 the devil's tricks and how demons work through people practicing the occult. Check out this teaser.
00:12:53.440 I came from a family of warlocks and witches. I got the cross upside down here. I got scars here.
00:12:58.520 I have another symbol here that is the 21 rows to the dark side was carved into my flesh
00:13:03.140 that the devil said carved that into him because he's going to be the gatekeeper of the demonic
00:13:07.660 kingdom. When you're buddies with the devil, what are the things that specifically that the devil's
00:13:12.480 telling you? False realities, things that you don't have, things that you want, things that you can't
00:13:18.600 get. And one time the devil was sitting on the, on the passenger seat. He said, there's a guy on the
00:13:22.620 rooftop and grab him and sacrifice him for me. I tried to drag him into my apartment. I was half demon
00:13:27.620 possessed. But there was this guy there, the guy. No, no, real guy. Yeah. What happens to get you
00:13:31.820 out of it? Price.

00:13:45.080 the ad-free version on Daily Wire Plus. So CBS does its best to cover up Kamala's flub of the,
00:13:54.780 of the foreign policy answer. Other recent Kamala errors are tougher to hide. Namely this one that
00:14:01.320 she just fell into on ABC News or on ABC, the network. She was speaking with those lovely ladies
00:14:09.280 over at The View. And she was asked to explain how her presidency would differ from the presidency of
00:14:16.200 Joe Biden. If anything, would you have done something differently than President Biden
00:14:23.280 during the past four years? There is not a thing that comes to mind in terms of, and I've been
00:14:30.040 a part of, of, of most of the decisions that have had impact. Okay. There is not a thing that comes to
00:14:36.520 mind. I would have done nothing differently than Joe Biden did. I've been a big part of all the decisions
00:14:41.460 made over the last three and a half years. This is a 180 degree campaign flip from Kamala Harris.
00:14:48.060 Kamala Harris, who one month ago, less than one month ago, at the debate with Donald Trump,
00:14:54.140 sought to distance herself from Biden, said the Biden presidency is not the Kamala Harris presidency.
00:15:00.160 I am not Joe Biden. Clearly, I am not Joe Biden. And I am certainly not Donald Trump.
00:15:06.880 And what I do offer is a new generation of leadership for our country.
00:15:11.700 Okay. Well, hold on. What happened to that new generational leadership for our country?
00:15:16.000 One month ago, you said, hey, don't you try to pin the failures of the Biden administration on me?
00:15:20.360 I ain't Joe Biden. My policy vision isn't the vision of Joe Biden. No, sir. I am promising you
00:15:26.360 a new generation of leadership, new ideas, new policies, new direction.
00:15:31.720 Tim Walls on the campaign trail after Kamala picked him says, we can't take four more years of this.
00:15:37.940 So they were running as challenger candidates until yesterday. And it was implausible,
00:15:45.200 obviously, because Kamala Harris is currently the vice president of the United States.
00:15:47.980 But this was an intentional shift. Kamala Harris, 180 degree turn, now saying, I am Joe Biden.
00:15:56.140 A month ago, I'm not Joe Biden. Now I am Joe Biden. Joe Biden and I are one in the same.
00:16:02.520 I would have done nothing different over the past three and a half years. In fact,
00:16:07.620 I was intimately involved in this presidency. Heck, I was practically the president the last
00:16:12.820 three and a half years. Huge shift. Why is she shifting? Because Kamala Harris realizes something
00:16:17.940 that Joe Biden said for many months that I agree with Joe Biden on and that I said for many months,
00:16:24.220 which is that Joe Biden was a much better candidate than Kamala Harris.
00:16:29.460 Even with the dementia, even with the weird gait, even with all of the failures of his presidency,
00:16:36.940 Joe Biden is a better candidate than Kamala Harris. Joe Biden, say what you will about the guy,
00:16:43.080 he remained toward or at the top of American politics for over half a century.
00:16:49.660 Kamala Harris barely squeaked by in some elections in California,
00:16:54.220 Kamala Harris never won a single vote in a presidential primary while she was running.
00:17:01.940 Voters like Biden more than they like Harris. And guess what? The more they see of Kamala Harris,
00:17:09.080 the truer that is. People don't like this woman. And it's not just that they don't like her because
00:17:17.080 she has an ugly personality or something like that. They don't like her because they're not impressed by
00:17:22.700 her. They don't prefer her policies to Biden's policies. They don't prefer her demeanor to Biden's
00:17:29.600 demeanor. They don't prefer her political inclinations to Biden's political inclinations.
00:17:34.140 They don't. Biden is just a better candidate. So now this late in the game, Kamala's poll numbers
00:17:40.080 are not great. They're not terrible, but they're not great. And so the campaign is having a reset.
00:17:44.720 This is all part of a big reset to say, hey, that's stuff about new direction. And we're going to we're
00:17:51.780 we're yeah, maybe we were a little quick to replace Joe Biden. Yikes. Maybe we should just be running as
00:17:57.220 Joe Biden's third term. So far, it's not really working. You don't need to take my word for it.
00:18:04.440 Turn to Mr. Charlemagne from that lib podcast, The Breakfast Club, which speaks specifically to black
00:18:12.160 voters. Charlemagne says the Kamala Harris campaign is not resonating.
00:18:17.720 Do I think they mess up in regards to messaging? Like, you know, you'll listen to a lot of reporters
00:18:22.920 and they'll be talking to Trump or J.D. Vance and they'll be talking to them about things that are
00:18:27.160 happening right here in America because it is an election season right here in America. So it's so
00:18:32.140 many things that we care about here. Like, right. So it's always America first. But then, you know,
00:18:36.160 you go to Tim Walls and they're asking him about geopolitical politics. And I think a lot of times that makes
00:18:41.320 them sound, you know, very out of touch. That makes them sound very out of touch to what's
00:18:45.440 actually going on right here in America. Or talking about things that's happening overseas
00:18:48.920 and not talking about what's here. But that's what they're being asked. Exactly. Not saying that
00:18:52.580 that stuff is important, but that stuff gets highlighted over, you know, what's happening
00:18:56.880 right here in this country. And when you hear, you know, the Vance's and the Trump's talking about
00:19:00.960 what's happening here at home and saying things like America first and make America great again,
00:19:05.520 that messaging sometimes resonates a lot more. Absolutely. Not sometimes, it does resonate a lot more.
00:19:10.700 Because people can, they live in it. Exactly. Because you saw what happened in North Carolina.
00:19:14.060 As soon as you, I think this weekend, they announced how much money they were sending to,
00:19:19.320 I think it was Lebanon. People got outraged. They was like, yo, what about us right here in
00:19:24.160 North Carolina? So like that America first messaging goes, goes much farther, especially during election
00:19:28.700 season. Yep. Absolutely. Absolutely. He's right. I don't think this is 5D chess or anything. I think
00:19:35.020 Charlemagne, though, he's wrong about a number of things. He's seen pretty basic facts on the
00:19:39.860 ground, which is that the Biden-Harris administration, now the Harris-Walls ticket,
00:19:46.620 just doesn't seem to care about Americans. They care about foreigners. They care about all sorts
00:19:53.220 of foreigners. Foreigners below our southern border, foreigners who are in our country illegally,
00:19:58.300 foreigners in the Middle East, foreigners in Eastern Europe. They're willing, hold your hands out,
00:20:02.700 catch a nickel, catch a dime. They're willing to give money out to all of them.
00:20:05.600 But they don't seem to care about Americans or what Americans are focused on.
00:20:11.760 Is it possible that we're going to see a red tidal wave in November? I'm not betting on it.
00:20:17.580 I'm not betting on it. Don't you clip this out. And then if the election doesn't go well,
00:20:21.360 you say Michael was totally wrong. I'm not saying I would put money on a red tidal wave.
00:20:28.420 The reason I wouldn't put money on it, by the way, is because I think there are going to be a lot
00:20:32.300 of shenanigans. I think you're already seeing a lot of those shenanigans, like when Pennsylvania
00:20:36.820 shut down its voter registration website during President Trump's triumphant return to Butler
00:20:43.300 during that rally in Pennsylvania. I think there are going to be shenanigans like swing states
00:20:50.280 illegally registering foreign nationals to vote, as we've seen lots and lots of evidence of. I think
00:20:57.120 there are going to be shenanigans like turning election day into election season and all sorts of
00:21:00.920 mail-in ballots and drop boxes and all the rest. So that's why I think I wouldn't bet on a red tidal
00:21:07.780 wave. But if this were an honest and fair election, like we basically used to have in America until
00:21:14.380 2020, if this were an honest and fair election, I would bet a significant chunk of money that this
00:21:21.800 would be a red tidal wave. You have a candidate, Kamala Harris, that no one voted for. That's a
00:21:30.340 disadvantage. And who really doesn't seem ready for prime time. You've got a running mate, not that
00:21:35.300 the running mates matter all that much, who is super weird and a liar and who let his chief city
00:21:41.380 in his state that he governs burn to the ground while violent criminals marauded and looted.
00:21:47.040 You have an absolutely disastrous record that the Democrat nominee is in part inheriting because
00:21:54.420 she's the incumbent vice president. You've got war abroad. You've got social issues that are about
00:22:04.580 50-50 because the trans issue cuts for Republicans and the abortion issue right now is cutting for
00:22:08.660 Democrats. So those are sort of off the table. You've got Trump, who was a good president and things
00:22:16.880 were doing well and people trust him on the economy, which is the top issue.
00:22:20.040 You've got this woman who nobody voted for, who when she shows up and actually does speak,
00:22:27.200 is completely embarrassing. If this were a free and fair and honest election,
00:22:33.880 does anybody believe that Trump would lose? If we were a different country and Trump lost this election,
00:22:42.920 the U.S. State Department would start an investigation and say, this is a clear case
00:22:49.920 of fraud and they'd be calling us a failed state. And even so, even with all the shenanigans,
00:22:57.340 I don't know. It just seems to me like Trump's got a real shot. There's so much more to say.
00:23:02.300 First, though, go to calshi.com slash Knowles. Folks, let me tell you about Calshi, the first
00:23:08.780 legal prediction market in the U.S. For the first time in a century, you can actually put your money
00:23:14.160 where your mouth is when it comes to elections and a whole lot more. The last time Americans could
00:23:18.700 legally bet on elections was back in 1924, 100 years ago, by my mathematical calculation.

00:24:29.040 Kamala campaign is weak and Trump is doing well. Joe Biden himself is coming out and shivving Kamala
00:24:37.380 Harris. And he's doing it in a really subtle way. He's not doing it by weighing in on the election
00:24:41.680 or saying anything nice about Trump, certainly, or really demeaning Kamala Harris explicitly.
00:24:49.060 Joe Biden is undermining the Harris campaign in a much craftier way.
00:24:52.760 You remember last week we heard from Kamala Harris. We might have even played it yesterday
00:25:00.180 on the show, who said that Ron DeSantis isn't taking her phone calls in the lead up to Hurricane
00:25:08.740 Milton. And he's playing politics with the hurricane. And this is completely irresponsible.
00:25:14.080 And he needs to pick up the phone and talk to her during a natural disaster.
00:25:17.000 And then DeSantis responded and said, why would I talk to Kamala Harris? She's never been involved
00:25:22.600 all these three and a half years as vice president in hurricane preparedness or hurricane recovery.
00:25:27.600 She's the vice president. Why am I talking to Kamala? I don't care about talking to the vice
00:25:31.140 president. I'm talking to the president. And then yesterday, Joe Biden comes out and he sides
00:25:38.440 with Ron DeSantis.
00:25:40.080 The governor of Florida has been cooperative. He said he's gotten all that he needs. I talked
00:25:45.440 him again yesterday and I said, no, you're doing a great job. It's all being done well. We thank
00:25:52.900 you for it. And I literally gave my personal phone number to call. So I don't know. There was a rough
00:25:59.820 start in some places, but every governor, every governor from Florida to North Carolina has been
00:26:06.720 fully cooperative and supportive and acknowledged what this team is doing. And they're doing an
00:26:11.980 incredible job. We've got a lot more to do. They're doing an incredible job. And Ron DeSantis
00:26:18.240 in particular is doing an incredible job. He's doing it. He's working with us. I gave him my
00:26:23.360 personal phone number. Oh yeah, he's doing great. Joe Biden hates Kamala Harris. He hates her.
00:26:33.780 It is so, it is palpable. He despises this woman. She is doing her best to pretend that she's the
00:26:44.260 president when it suits her, not to take on the responsibilities of the presidency, which she is
00:26:50.120 entirely incapable of, but of pretending to kind of be the president when she's taking shots at Ron
00:26:55.720 DeSantis for not calling her for some reason during a hurricane. But then she wants to run away from the
00:27:03.540 responsibilities of the presidency when it involves dealing with Joe Biden's disastrous record or when
00:27:08.380 it involves actually doing anything. And Joe Biden comes out. He goes, huh? What?
00:27:13.840 Why would DeSantis call her? He doesn't say it explicitly, but that's
00:27:18.200 clearly the subtext. Why would DeSantis call her? He's got my personal number. That's what DeSantis said.
00:27:23.160 He said, oh, look, I can talk to Joe Biden directly. And Biden says, yeah, he's got my
00:27:26.320 personal number. We talk. Kamala Harris has nothing to do with this. Kamala Harris has nothing to do
00:27:32.240 with anything. This is why I say I could see, I could see a world in which there's a red tidal wave
00:27:39.280 other than the shenanigans might make it tough, but nobody likes Kamala Harris and virtually nobody
00:27:46.940 wants her to be president. Up to and including Joe Biden. I would be surprised if I found out,
00:27:55.620 it's a secret ballot, we won't find out. I would be surprised if I found out that Joe Biden voted for
00:28:01.680 Kamala Harris. I don't think he's going to vote for her. He is going to vote. I would bet a modest but
00:28:09.600 decent amount of money. Joe Biden will not even vote for Kamala Harris. And I think there are many
00:28:15.280 such cases among the Democrats. Now, speaking of people who don't want Kamala Harris to win,
00:28:23.000 there was a poll conducted of Israelis. And the Israelis overwhelmingly, according to this poll,
00:28:30.600 want Donald Trump to win. This was a poll conducted by Langer Research Associates
00:28:36.440 and Public Opinion Research Israel. This was over of a little over 1,000 Israelis conducted
00:28:42.500 in early to mid-September. And it found that 54% of Israelis want Trump to win the U.S. election
00:28:50.560 versus 24% who want Harris to win the election. You might say, well, who cares what foreigners think
00:28:56.500 about our elections? Well, the foreigners care a lot because America is the global hegemon.
00:29:02.140 I remember this because I was traveling around the Middle East just on a vacation in 2016.
00:29:07.140 And everywhere, you could see information about the U.S. election.
00:29:12.300 You could see this in Arabia. You could see this in Lebanon. You could see this all over the place.
00:29:18.320 And it hit me at that point. Even when I was traveling through other parts of the world,
00:29:23.740 I think through Europe I was on the way there. Yeah, I assume I was. I kind of forget the route.
00:29:28.060 But I think I stopped over there. And you see this all over the world because America is the leader
00:29:36.280 of the world. So people care about what happens in our election. Just like someone in Judea would
00:29:41.000 have cared about what was going on in Rome in the first century because that's where the imperial
00:29:46.240 government was. Ours is the imperial government. And so in this case, the Israelis say overwhelmingly by
00:29:51.680 more than two to one, they want Trump to win, which raises a point to me. There's a kind of
00:29:58.380 perennial suggestion that comes up that the Jews control the world. And they're varying theories as
00:30:04.500 to how this would work. And even more than theories, they're just kind of spasms or intuitions or
00:30:10.700 whatever. But it would seem to me that the fact that the vast majority of Israelis want Trump to win
00:30:17.420 and that President Trump is being undermined left and right by the established powers that be
00:30:24.800 would seem to prove that the Jews don't actually secretly control the world.
00:30:30.080 Do you follow what I'm saying here? If the Jews secretly control the entire world, then probably the
00:30:40.620 American deep state or the nefarious forces in America wouldn't be constantly trying to kick him off the
00:30:47.640 ballot, imprison him four times, justify his assassination twice. You know, just I don't know. Those two things
00:30:56.700 seem to be at odds right now. So I'm happy to see that the Israelis like Trump, you know, by more than
00:31:02.560 two to one. But it's also really the deeper political takeaway here is some of those spasms,
00:31:10.960 those ideological spasms that say, you know, it's the nefarious Jews who are like pulling all the
00:31:16.500 strings. I don't know if they were, wouldn't they not be trying to like imprison and murder Trump right
00:31:22.440 now? I don't know. It's kind of, that seems like an important datum for examining that sort of
00:31:28.260 question. Anyway, speaking of Israel, they, I guess they could just be the most incompetent
00:31:34.300 controllers of the world ever. Or at the very least, you could say in their area, they're doing a very
00:31:39.480 good job controlling their particular neck of the woods because the prime minister of Israel,
00:31:44.300 Benjamin Netanyahu, says that Israel has just killed the successor to the head of Hezbollah.
00:31:51.380 So, you know, Israel took out a ton of Hezbollah fighters when they blew up their pagers and then
00:32:00.920 a day or two later blew up their walkie-talkies and then just blew up one of their buildings in
00:32:06.300 Beirut and killed the head of Hezbollah. Well, I didn't even realize that a successor had been
00:32:10.920 appointed. But according to Netanyahu, a successor was appointed and he was in the job for like 48 hours
00:32:17.960 or something and they took him out as well. Which, another point, just to kind of contradict
00:32:25.900 certain popular narratives that go around, say what you will about the Israelis and, you know,
00:32:31.520 it's true, the U.S. gives them a ton of money and sometimes they do things that we don't like and
00:32:35.720 they spy on us. And, you know, it's like it's a separate country. They've got separate interests
00:32:39.300 say what you will about them. They get results, okay? They've done a pretty, pretty effective job
00:32:46.140 against their enemies, Hamas and Hezbollah. And I don't know, I don't really have any sympathy for
00:32:50.780 Hamas or Hezbollah, so good on them. Speaking of Muslim terrorists, turning back to the home front,
00:32:56.040 an Afghani national has been arrested for planning a terror attack on Election Day. This, according to
00:33:04.480 the DOJ, just came out, says, I won't read the whole press release, but they say,
00:33:10.260 the Justice Department today announced charges against a citizen of Afghanistan residing in
00:33:16.280 Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, for conspiring to conduct an Election Day terrorist attack in the United States
00:33:22.120 on behalf of the Islamic State of Iraq and al-Sham. ISIS. I thought that was the Islamic State of
00:33:28.300 Iraq and Syria. Oh, whatever. A designated foreign terrorist organization. According to a criminal
00:33:32.940 complaint filed today, Nasir Ahmad Tahwadi, 27 years old, conspired and attempted to provide material
00:33:41.500 support to ISIS and obtained firearms and ammo to conduct a violent attack on U.S. soil. He took steps
00:33:47.700 to liquidate his family's assets, resettle family members overseas, and acquire AK-47 assault rifles
00:33:53.320 and ammunition, and commit a terrorist attack on the U.S. Okay. I would be willing to wager,
00:33:59.620 I guess I'm a real gambling man today, you know, I'm placing a lot of bets, but I would be willing
00:34:03.520 to wager that this guy is the first Nasir Ahmed Tahwadi ever to live in Oklahoma. You know, I don't,
00:34:14.580 I don't have family in Oklahoma, but from what I know of the state, not a lot of Nasir Ahmad Tahwadi is
00:34:23.900 there. This guy would probably stick out a little bit like a sore thumb in Oklahoma. How did this guy
00:34:32.960 end up in Oklahoma? Well, I'll tell you exactly how. Because America has imported millions and millions
00:34:42.440 of people from all around the world, largely unvetted in recent years, because the Democrats
00:34:47.900 want it to happen and the Republicans are willing to allow it to happen.
00:34:52.220 And was this guy an illegal alien? Did he swim across the Rio Grande? I don't see any evidence of
00:34:57.100 that. I know the Democrats say we want more illegal immigration and more legal immigration. The
00:35:03.560 Republicans say we want more legal immigration, but less illegal immigration. But the conservative view,
00:35:09.580 I think, when you have, as we do now, the highest foreign-born percentage of the population ever in
00:35:16.420 U.S. history would seem to be the conservative view is that we need less immigration. We need many
00:35:24.200 fewer people coming into the country. This, by the way, is the view of most Americans. Not when you ask
00:35:30.540 them the question of whether they want more or less immigration, but when you ask Americans the question,
00:35:34.920 how much immigration should we have? There was a study conducted by Harvard Harris some years ago now
00:35:42.480 that asked that question. Not, are you pro-immigration or anti-immigration? Most people say,
00:35:47.440 oh, I'm pro-legal immigration. But when you ask them, okay, how much immigration should we have?
00:35:52.900 The vast majority of Americans want to drastically reduce all immigration, not just illegal, but legal as
00:36:01.560 well. Of course. You have to assimilate people. You have to have a coherent national identity.
00:36:10.000 And unfortunately, the Afghani Nasir Ahmad Tawwadi of ISIS doesn't fit into that picture. Not saying
00:36:18.300 that nobody from the Middle East can fit into that picture, but this guy can't. And the fact that this
00:36:23.600 guy was ever permitted to step on U.S. soil is a national scandal. That's not a failure of DHS necessarily.
00:36:30.580 I mean, ultimately, I suppose it is a failure of DHS, but more than being a failure of DHS,
00:36:36.000 it's a failure of the American political system to maintain a coherent national identity.
00:36:45.280 It's a failure of our whole immigration system, Democrat and Republican. You know, over the past

00:37:29.220 Kamala will call her daddy, Donald J. Trump, on election night to concede.
00:37:37.040 I like that. It's a little bit of a stretch and a groaner of a joke, but you're right. She'll call
00:37:41.480 her daddy, Trump, on election night to concede. I hope so. I certainly hope that's the case.
00:37:47.340 What happens if Trump doesn't win? Well, according to Elon Musk, recently in conversation with Tucker
00:37:53.900 Carlson, Elon is completely up the creek without a paddle. If he loses, man, what?
00:38:05.400 If he loses, I'm f***ing. It does seem that way. You can't just be like, you can't just be like,
00:38:14.260 yo, I, yeah, I'm like, how long do you think my prison sentence is going to be? Do you think,
00:38:19.040 well, I see my children. I don't know. Because it's not like you can say, well,
00:38:22.740 yeah, I maxed out to him, but you know, I get, you were on stick. I have no plausible deniability.
00:38:26.400 No, no, no. And I've been trashing Kampala nonstop. Oh, I know.
00:38:35.440 I love that Elon's just laughing. I am effed. I am totally, there's no, and then Tucker's
00:38:44.400 point, he says, it's not even like you just donated, but you could try to wiggle out of
00:38:47.620 it. No, no, no, no. Elon is up there with the black MAGA hat on jumping, doing jumping
00:38:52.320 jacks on stage saying Kamala's horrible. Trump is the man. And if Trump loses, this could be the
00:38:59.700 last election. He's going that far. He's really taking what the Democrats have done and he's
00:39:06.820 throwing it back in their face. The Democrats have said Trump poses an existential threat to
00:39:11.680 this country. Elon is insinuating in a way that I think is less of a threat to Kamala Harris,
00:39:19.220 but he's still implying the political fact that the Democrats really are posing an existential
00:39:24.780 threat to democracy. If anyone's posing an existential threat, it's the Democrats because
00:39:28.720 we might not have more elections after this. This is what he means. He's referring to
00:39:36.160 migration. He's saying that Democrats have flooded the country, have intentionally imported people
00:39:43.880 into the country legally and illegally to change the demographics of the country, specifically in
00:39:48.860 swing states, so that they will have a permanent electoral majority. Democrats have been bragging
00:39:53.020 about this since the mid-2000s in serious published political science papers on the campaign trail
00:39:59.020 sometimes, and now they're putting it into action. He's saying, yeah. So Elon's taking a big risk here.
00:40:05.180 Elon Musk, it's not like you or I, who we support the losing candidate and maybe we get punished a
00:40:12.820 little bit. No, I guess I've got a show. I've got a little bit of a public profile. Maybe there could be
00:40:17.780 some reprisal, but I am small potatoes. I am nothing compared to Elon Musk, one of the richest guys in
00:40:24.680 the world, has multiple companies. The ways in which President Kamala Harris could hurt Elon Musk
00:40:33.620 are so more varied and so much more intense than the ways in which he could hurt any of us.
00:40:38.940 So he's taking a big risk. But he's saying we have to take a big risk now because we're all going to
00:40:44.520 be effed if Kamala Harris wins. Because it could be the last election, at least in Elon's view.
00:40:50.040 Now, speaking of people who have famously smoked marijuana, this is a story I teased yesterday.
00:40:55.520 Big shocking news. I can't say it's a study, but it's new reporting coming out from doctors.
00:41:02.340 Turns out that if you smoke pot all day, if you wake up, you wake and bake, and you're vaping
00:41:11.340 throughout the day, have a little edible dessert after lunch, come home, rip a bong, puff the devil's
00:41:18.960 lettuce, a little bit of that Peruvian parsley. Turns out it's not good for you. I won't read the
00:41:25.200 whole article, though I encourage you to do it. In mid-coast Maine, a pediatrician sees teenagers
00:41:29.720 so dependent on cannabis that they consume it practically all day every day a remarkably scary
00:41:35.600 amount, she said. From Washington State to West Virginia, psychiatrists treat rising numbers of
00:41:40.660 people whose use of the drug has brought on delusions, paranoia, and other symptoms of psychosis.
00:41:46.260 In the emergency departments of small community hospitals and large academic medical centers alike,
00:41:51.140 physicians encounter patients with severe vomiting induced by the drug. A $33 billion industry has taken
00:41:58.400 route. Many users believe, for instance, that people cannot become addicted to cannabis. I've
00:42:04.360 heard this since I was a kid. In fact, I think I was taught this in health class. You can't become
00:42:09.160 addicted to marijuana. But then all of us know burnout potheads who wake and bake and who are smoking
00:42:16.960 all day long. And they don't do well when they're not smoking pot all the time. They're obviously
00:42:23.920 extremely reliant on it. And these doctors are saying millions of people do become addicted to
00:42:30.040 pot. 18 million people, nearly a third of all users ages 18 and up, have reported symptoms of
00:42:35.140 cannabis use disorder, according to estimates from a unique data analysis conducted for the New York
00:42:39.940 Times by Columbia University. Almost everybody that uses pot every day is reporting problems with it.
00:42:45.940 That's according to the deputy director of the National Institute on Drug Abuse. You could even have really
00:42:51.920 acute problems from pot through cannabinoid hyperemesis syndrome, which causes seizures, kidney failure,
00:42:59.780 cardiac arrest, and death. Okay, you were taught, I was taught at least in health class, you can't become
00:43:06.780 addicted. It's not that big a deal. You can't, it certainly can't kill you, but it can. I'm not saying it
00:43:12.480 regularly kills people. It's rare that it kills people. But it's not rare that it gets people addicted. And it's not
00:43:17.960 rare that it gives people delusions and lack of focus and energy and even serious mental health
00:43:25.340 problems like schizophrenia. That's not all that unusual. My issue is not, I know, I can already read,
00:43:30.500 I can already foresee the YouTube comments from people who are, they're going to say, Michael,
00:43:37.040 how dare you criticize marijuana? Michael, you cigar salesman, how dare you? Mayflower cigar salesman,
00:43:42.500 they're great cigars. How dare you criticize marijuana? First of all, nicotine and marijuana are
00:43:46.600 different. But how dare you, Michael? I know, hold on. My issue is not exactly with the people who
00:43:54.700 admit pot's not great, but you know, you kind of like it and whatever, you're going to take the risk
00:44:00.040 and you're going to, I'm not, I'm not really talking about you. My issue is the people who insist
00:44:06.220 that marijuana has no downsides or that in fact it's healthy. It's kind of like a miracle drug, man.
00:44:13.780 And it can cure all sorts of problems. It definitely can cure, like if you have this problem where you
00:44:20.540 don't want to eat Doritos, it can cure that problem. It's very good at curing that. But
00:44:24.080 the people who treat marijuana as though this recreational drug is suddenly a cure-all, it's
00:44:31.840 really great. It's insane. These are the same people who, if you lit up a cigarette or could you
00:44:38.140 imagine a cigar in a restaurant, they would start obnoxiously fake coughing in front of you, you
00:44:43.860 know, but they think there's no problem inhaling huge amounts of smoke with more tar in it, by the
00:44:49.540 way, into your lungs regularly. It's not, my only point on this is a conservative point that
00:44:56.660 everything in this finite world has costs and benefits. Everything carries risks. You can die
00:45:03.900 from drinking too much water, okay? Surely we can admit that there might be some issues with pot.
00:45:10.260 And the way that people consume pot today is extremely disordered. And the way that young
00:45:15.800 people get hooked on it today with increasingly potent marijuana that makes you kind of dull and
00:45:23.260 tired and not focused and liberal, generally, not ideal. Now, speaking of dubious health fads,
00:45:30.600 there is a new rage in health promoted by the likes of Jennifer Aniston and Kim Kardashian,
00:45:37.300 and that is the salmon sperm facial. We don't have time to get into that today. How's that for a
00:45:42.720 disgusting tease? We have much more to get to today. It is, in fact, Woke Wednesday. The rest of the show
