00:00:20.300 President Trump returned to the White House yesterday,
00:00:22.920 which just shows you what a thoughtful guy Trump is.
00:00:26.600 With all that's going on, he took time out of his busy schedule
00:00:30.660 to sit down and chat with one of his voters, and in the Oval Office, no less.
00:00:36.540 I'm Michael Knowles. This is The Michael Knowles Show.
00:00:56.600 Welcome back to the show.
00:00:58.720 The libs think that they have President Trump's Secretary of Defense nominee on the ropes,
00:01:02.940 Pete Hegseth.
00:01:04.060 They've got all sorts of gotcha clips, and we have them too.
00:01:07.680 The strange thing about their gotcha clips, though,
00:01:09.640 is that they make him seem like an even better nominee for Secretary of Defense.
00:01:14.540 We have a lot of other picks too.
00:01:16.360 President Trump's AG pick is causing left-wing heads to explode.
00:01:20.840 Those sweltering summer nights that leave you tossing and turning,
00:01:23.520 desperately kicking off the covers, don't have to ruin your sleep.

00:01:51.680 A lot of people are joking, and myself included,
00:01:55.300 about how President Trump went to the White House to meet with one of his voters,
00:01:59.500 that voter being Joe Biden.
00:02:00.900 Ha, ha, ha, ha.
00:02:01.760 But when you look at the interaction between the two men,
00:02:07.060 one begins to seriously wonder whether or not Joe Biden actually did vote for Trump.
00:02:13.820 One gets the impression, just from the interaction between the two,
00:02:17.340 that Joe Biden was real happy to see Trump coming back to the White House.
00:02:22.580 Well, Mr. President-elect and former president, Donald, congratulations.
00:02:28.180 Thank you.
00:02:28.800 And I'm looking forward to having a, like we said, smooth transition.
00:02:34.140 We'll do everything we can to make sure you're accommodating what you need.
00:02:37.980 And we're going to get a chance to talk about some of that today.
00:02:40.120 It's good.
00:02:40.360 Well, thank you very much.
00:02:44.320 And politics is tough.
00:02:47.360 And it's, in many cases, not a very nice world.
00:02:50.920 But it is a nice world today.
00:02:52.740 And I appreciate it very much.
00:02:54.340 A transition that's so smooth, it'll be as smooth as it can get.
00:02:58.700 And I very much appreciate that, Joe.
00:03:00.960 You're welcome.
00:03:02.320 You're welcome for it.
00:03:03.520 Headline, Joe Biden warmly greets Hitler at the White House.
00:03:09.500 Didn't Joe Biden launch his presidential campaign on how Donald Trump called Nazis fine people?
00:03:16.480 Then he launched his reelect on how Trump poses an existential threat to our democracy.
00:03:21.160 Democracy is on the ballot.
00:03:23.320 Trump takes his inspiration from Hitler.
00:03:25.240 He's Hitler 2.0.
00:03:27.260 But there he's all smiles.
00:03:28.760 Welcome back, Donald.
00:03:30.480 Welcome back.
00:03:31.840 Welcome back, Donald.
00:03:33.860 This is, you're welcome.
00:03:34.900 This is going to be a smooth transition, Mr. Hitler.
00:03:38.000 Huh.
00:03:39.080 Kind of makes you, it makes you come to one of two conclusions.
00:03:43.120 Either Joe Biden is a Nazi.
00:03:45.580 Either Joe Biden just loves Hitler.
00:03:47.960 Or he was lying when he called Trump Hitler.
00:03:51.140 And Trump's not really Hitler.
00:03:52.140 And Trump's not really a threat to democracy.
00:03:53.640 And it's really okay.
00:03:54.860 And to take it one step further, given what took place in the 2024 campaign,
00:03:59.940 you begin to wonder if after Kamala Harris led a palace coup to oust Joe Biden from the top
00:04:09.580 of the ticket, you begin to wonder if maybe Joe Biden really softened on the man he once
00:04:16.380 called Hitler.
00:04:17.100 If maybe Joe Biden, maybe Jill Biden voted for Trump.
00:04:21.620 There's a photo, it was going around yesterday of the three of them outside the White House.
00:04:26.600 Trump all smiles.
00:04:28.540 Joe all smiles.
00:04:30.900 And Jill seems to be smiling with the greatest joy of all.
00:04:36.880 Compare that to Jill Biden running into Kamala the other day.
00:04:39.980 The two of them were sitting next to each other, not even speaking.
00:04:44.440 Stone cold face.
00:04:45.760 On top of that, you know that Jill Biden wore a red outfit to go vote on Election Day.
00:04:53.340 What a president or a first lady wears on Election Day is never an accident.
00:04:58.160 They know that there are going to be a ton of cameras on them.
00:05:00.120 She wore red.
00:05:01.060 She wore the color of the Republican Party to go vote.
00:05:04.180 I am certain, after all that's transpired, I am certain that Jill, at least, voted for Biden.
00:05:11.420 I am certain, at least, that she voted for Biden.
00:05:15.720 She might have voted for Trump.
00:05:17.960 I suspect that Joe Biden voted for Joe Biden or abstained.
00:05:22.800 I am 100% confident neither of them voted for Kamala Harris.
00:05:27.180 And after what happened yesterday, I would not be surprised if they both voted for Trump.
00:05:32.840 This, ironically, in the election season of surprise after surprise after curveball after
00:05:39.120 zig after zag, ironically, this might well prove to be one of the smoothest transitions
00:05:45.520 in American history, even after one of, if not the hardest fought election fight in American
00:05:51.920 history because of the civil war within the Democrat Party, because of the perfectly
00:05:57.960 understandable sour grapes that Joe Biden has for being kicked off the top of the ticket.
00:06:02.800 If yesterday is the precedent for what's going to happen over the next three months, the
00:06:09.080 Biden White House is going to roll out the red carpet for Donald, Donald Trump, apparently
00:06:14.920 their preferred candidate.
00:06:16.260 Amazing.
00:06:17.060 The biggest political comeback ever in American history you see from Donald Trump.
00:06:21.100 And then on top of that, the man goes from being Hitler and the threat to democracy to
00:06:26.680 welcome back.
00:06:28.100 Welcome back, sir.
00:06:29.960 Let us make a smooth transition for you.
00:06:32.460 So President Trump is done after this after this term, of course, non-consecutive second
00:06:38.060 term and Republicans are term limited out Democrats to everyone's been term limited out since
00:06:43.480 the 22nd Amendment, though Trump while he was in D.C., he met with House Republicans and
00:06:47.460 he joked.
00:06:48.140 He said, according to reports, that he would not be running again unless he did such a great
00:06:54.200 job that they were going to have to change the rules.
00:06:56.140 So it's a little joke.
00:06:56.960 Ha ha ha.
00:06:58.600 CBS News loses its mind.
00:07:02.460 Some viewed that as a joke when the president elect said, I suspect I won't be running again
00:07:06.760 unless you do something else.
00:07:09.060 Of course, Democrats or people that oppose President elect Trump would be concerned about
00:07:14.500 a comment like that, given that the president elect has also promised to be a dictator from
00:07:18.880 day once.
00:07:19.660 That would be an extraordinarily difficult thing to do to try and extend and be able to run
00:07:23.820 for a third or fourth term to be like an FDR.
00:07:26.220 But he was joking about that, as some believe, up on Capitol Hill today.
00:07:30.180 He was joking, as some believe, but he was telling a joke.
00:07:32.540 It's very super serious because he's going to become a dictator and he's a threat to democracy
00:07:35.940 and he's going to some believe.
00:07:37.560 Some critics are saying that Trump was not.
00:07:41.760 Lady, take a chill pill.
00:07:42.920 It's OK.
00:07:43.480 Trump's a very funny guy.
00:07:44.580 He makes a lot of jokes.
00:07:45.620 All right.
00:07:46.040 He was joking about the dictator thing.
00:07:47.360 He didn't.
00:07:47.700 By the way, he didn't say he'd be a dictator from day one.
00:07:49.840 He the joke was he would be a dictator on day one and you just one day clear everything
00:07:55.360 out and then we're good.
00:07:56.220 We go totally back to normal.
00:07:57.260 That was the joke.
00:07:57.980 She didn't get the joke right.
00:07:59.440 However, joking aside, it is worth pointing out as an historical matter that President
00:08:06.740 Reagan, a blessed memory, campaigned vigorously at the end of his second term and then into
00:08:13.420 his post presidency before his Alzheimer's diagnosis.
00:08:16.460 He campaigned vigorously to end the two term limit for president.
00:08:20.840 President Reagan campaigned vigorously to repeal the 22nd Amendment.
00:08:25.200 Reagan, who was of a certain age at the time, he said, you know, well, some years ago, few
00:08:30.220 years ago, they passed this 22nd Amendment thing.
00:08:33.160 And it's because he was so aged that he had a relatively recent historical memory of it.
00:08:37.640 But it is relatively recent.
00:08:39.160 The irony, too, when they talk about how Trump and the Republicans are going to make themselves
00:08:42.180 dictators, the reason that the 22nd Amendment was ratified was because Franklin Roosevelt
00:08:48.760 made himself a king.
00:08:51.160 The one of the most prominent Democrat presidents ever is the one who ran for term after term
00:08:56.380 after term and died in office, who ignored the precedent set by George Washington.
00:09:01.000 However, Ronald Reagan's argument for repealing the 22nd is that we already have term limits in
00:09:06.880 America.
00:09:07.940 The term limits are called elections.
00:09:11.080 If the voters want to boot you out, if they want to term limit you, they will.
00:09:15.000 They'll just throw you out of office.
00:09:17.320 This is also how how most civilized Western nations act.
00:09:22.800 You think of the UK, a prime minister can serve as prime minister again and again and again
00:09:27.220 until eventually his party or the voters get get sick of them and throw them out of office.
00:09:31.700 So there are natural term limits called elections.
00:09:33.940 And if someone's a good president, I don't know, I guess I I generally agree with Ronald
00:09:37.400 Reagan on a lot of things.
00:09:38.620 However, Trump himself is just kidding and is obviously setting up potential successors,
00:09:45.480 J.D. Vance, who knows, maybe maybe somebody else in terms of the appointments, though,
00:09:49.420 let's focus on Congress a little bit, because the most controversial appointment yet came out
00:09:54.440 of Congress yesterday.
00:09:56.060 That would be President Trump's attorney general pick.
00:09:58.320 And that would be Matt Gaetz, bomb thrower, extraordinaire, absolute terror of the libs,
00:10:06.600 a man whom the libs are actively trying to prosecute for all sorts of charges related
00:10:11.980 to, I don't know, various scandals and this and that.
00:10:14.520 And so the timing of this is perfect because there was supposed to be a House ethics report
00:10:20.460 that came out on Matt Gaetz tomorrow.
00:10:22.980 Matt Gaetz, immediately after receiving the nomination for attorney general, resigns from
00:10:29.180 Congress.
00:10:30.700 So on the one hand, you have this strategy of saying, forget about it.
00:10:34.400 I'm, you know, I'm burning the boats.
00:10:36.060 We are going full steam ahead here to to be the AG.
00:10:39.940 If I don't get confirmed by the Senate for AG, then I'm out of politics.
00:10:45.260 Gaetz with a big show of seriousness and confidence here.
00:10:48.700 But also by resigning from Congress, he totally destroys the the libs justification for releasing
00:10:55.040 that ethics report because because the Congress no longer would have really any any jurisdiction
00:10:59.960 or authority over him as a member.
00:11:02.940 So they'll probably still leak the report.
00:11:04.880 I think actually parts of the report are already leaking.
00:11:07.580 But it now it just makes it look like the Democrats are trying to shoot down Trump's AG
00:11:11.500 candidate.
00:11:12.920 So really, really clever politics going on here.
00:11:15.760 But let's let's take the nomination just in its own right.
00:11:20.560 There's so much more to say.
00:11:21.780 First, though, go to preborn.com slash Knowles.
00:11:24.340 The fight for life has never been more crucial.
00:11:26.340 While the libs fight to make abortion easier to access, preborn ministries is on the front
00:11:30.900 lines fighting back, fighting for life, fighting for truth, fighting for the most vulnerable
00:11:34.820 among us.
00:11:35.860 It is fascinating how the same people who cry about following the science totally ignore
00:11:41.460 the scientific reality of fetal development.
00:11:43.480 But that's exactly what preborns network of clinics reveals through the power of ultrasound
00:11:48.920 technology.
00:11:50.140 When a mother sees her baby's heartbeat, when she witnesses that undeniable proof of life,
00:11:54.600 everything changes.
00:11:55.940 Preborns clinics are strategically positioned in areas with the highest abortion rates, offering
00:12:01.280 free ultrasounds and welcoming these women with God's love.
00:12:04.180 The results speak for themselves.
00:12:05.380 The majority of mothers choose life when they see their baby.
00:12:08.980 Would you join me in this crucial fight?
00:12:10.640 One ultrasound costs just $28.
00:12:13.340 You give $28 right now, you pay for one ultrasound.
00:12:16.800 $140 sponsors five ultrasounds.
00:12:19.200 You could help save multiple lives with a single donation.
00:12:21.920 To donate, I'll pound 250 and say keyword baby.
00:12:25.060 That is pound 250, keyword baby.
00:12:26.640 Or you can go to preborn.com slash Knowles.
00:12:29.080 preborn.com slash Knowles.
00:12:30.620 All gifts are tax deductible.
00:12:31.860 Preborn has a four-star charity rating.
00:12:33.680 I personally support this organization, and I encourage you to as well.
00:12:37.520 I strongly encourage you to.
00:12:38.720 Remember, in this fight for life, every ultrasound gives a baby a fighting chance.
00:12:44.000 Is President Trump's pick for Attorney General, Matt Gaetz, is he qualified?
00:12:49.940 Is he a serious pick?
00:12:52.740 Or is this a total upending of norms and standards?
00:12:56.860 Does this degrade the office of the Attorney General or whatever the Dems are going to say?
00:13:00.060 Well, I guess I would first ask, you ever hear of Sam Brinton?
00:13:06.520 Maybe not, because the media tried to push this story under the rug.
00:13:10.180 Sam Brinton was Joe Biden's pick for nuclear waste czar, a very high-ranking official in the Department of Energy.
00:13:17.880 And Sam Brinton was an open, cross-dressing, sexual fetish-indulging kleptomaniac of expensive women's clothing who was pinched, stealing aforementioned clothing at multiple airports around the United States.
00:13:36.380 He had photos of himself that he posted to the Internet, dressed up in women's clothing and weird stiletto heels, dragging men around on leashes, men who were dressed up in leather outfits to resemble dogs.
00:13:51.040 Do you think that might be a little degrading?
00:13:55.680 If you're going to knock Matt Gaetz for saying he's a little too indulgent or lascivious or something, what about Sam Brinton?
00:14:02.880 You remember that guy?
00:14:04.560 Well, Matt Gaetz, he doesn't have the character for AG.
00:14:07.260 Hold on, what about Sam Brinton?
00:14:08.560 Forget about Sam, I don't mean to pick on Sam Brinton.
00:14:10.380 Remember Dmitry Daskalakis?
00:14:12.340 That was Biden's monkeypox czar?
00:14:15.080 Dmitry Daskalakis, another one who would take photos of himself in all sorts of weird leather harnesses doing weird sex stuff.
00:14:20.040 But Dmitry had the added eccentricity of having a pentagram, a satanic symbol tattooed on his chest, which he would sometimes cover up with a matching pentagram leather harness.
00:14:32.760 In some ways, a fitting choice for the monkeypox czar, I guess.
00:14:35.280 But in any case, a little bit degrading for a senior administration official, wouldn't you say?
00:14:40.760 How about, let's put the weird sex stuff out for a second.
00:14:43.380 How about just Lloyd Austin, Lloyd Austin, Secretary of Defense under Joe Biden.
00:14:47.140 Lloyd Austin disappeared for three days.
00:14:49.200 He was in the hospital, went in to have some surgery, did not inform the president.
00:14:54.360 We had a secretary of defense missing on the job, did not inform the commander-in-chief for three days.
00:15:02.700 Don't you think that's a little suspect?
00:15:04.980 Doesn't that show poor judgment in a role?
00:15:08.520 I don't know.
00:15:10.180 How about Kamala Harris?
00:15:11.660 Kamala Harris, no qualification whatsoever to run anything.
00:15:15.660 Kamala Harris, put in charge of connecting rural Americans to the internet and of dealing with the border crisis, didn't connect a single American to the internet, and we had the worst border crisis in history.
00:15:24.600 Kamala Harris, basically no record of achievement ever in her whole life.
00:15:27.800 Even her boss, Joe Biden, admitted that she was a DEI hire in those words.
00:15:32.100 You think that was befitting the executive branch of the government?
00:15:41.800 I don't know.
00:15:43.340 Compared with Biden's picks, Matt Gaetz is overqualified.
00:15:48.200 Compared with Biden's picks, Matt Gaetz has shown perfect judgment, virtually, in his personal comportment.
00:15:55.960 Who are the critics here?
00:16:01.200 You know, J.D. Vance had a good bit on this.
00:16:03.800 He said, well, the real problem with Matt Gaetz is that he weaponized the government to attack his political enemies and try to imprison the leaders of the opposition.
00:16:12.440 Oh, wait, that was Merrick Garland.
00:16:13.480 Merrick Garland, who supposedly is this, you know, unimpeachable man of high character who was put up by Obama to be put on the Supreme Court.
00:16:21.760 Merrick Garland, however he started that job, he ended his role as AG as a gangster, okay?
00:16:27.080 So please spare me the pearl clutching over Matt Gaetz.
00:16:32.280 You know, before you accuse Matt Gaetz, Democrats, take a look at yourselves.
00:16:36.340 Now, speaking of Congress, there's a story that somehow has not really gotten very much attention, but it seems like a bombshell story.
00:16:42.820 Probably just because everyone is so jubilant from the election and the libs are so furious from the election, no one's really paid attention to this.
00:16:49.820 But did you know that last Tuesday, Americans elected the first ever transgender, trans-identifying member of Congress?
00:17:00.620 This person's name is Tim McBride, though he calls himself Sarah.
00:17:05.520 Tim Sarah McBride, elected from Delaware.
00:17:10.800 This guy was a staffer for Beau Biden in Delaware.
00:17:14.640 Pretty unremarkable, just your run-of-the-mill left-wing activist.
00:17:18.620 And he was a white dude, so that didn't really help him on the left.
00:17:22.280 Now, he came out, quote-unquote, as a transgender.
00:17:29.060 And he said, you know, this is probably going to hurt my political career, but I have to be true to myself or whatever.
00:17:34.320 And he embraced the transgender ideology.
00:17:37.220 But, of course, the real effect of that was exactly the opposite of what he said.
00:17:42.520 It greatly helped his political career.
00:17:44.560 This guy was going nowhere fast.
00:17:46.000 He was a real middling sort of Democrat staffer.
00:17:50.860 And then, when he pretended to be a woman, all of a sudden he was getting speaking engagements.
00:17:57.260 He was being trotted around by left-wing nonprofits.
00:18:00.580 He was on the fast track to political prominence.
00:18:02.740 Now he's in Congress.
00:18:03.720 So, my only question with this.
00:18:07.060 I'm not getting into this guy's record.
00:18:08.620 I'm not getting into this guy's platform.
00:18:10.260 He's one member of Congress.
00:18:11.360 He's a freshman member.
00:18:12.300 Who cares?
00:18:14.540 My question, though, is how is the GOP going to deal with this?
00:18:18.520 You now have transgender ideology for the first time ever in Congress, in a member of Congress.
00:18:28.160 This guy, presumably, is going to want to use the women's bathroom.
00:18:31.520 The Republicans control Congress.
00:18:34.420 Are they going to permit this?
00:18:37.040 Or are they going to permit this?
00:18:38.280 You might say, Michael, you know, who cares?
00:18:40.920 It's just one guy.
00:18:41.920 It's no big deal.
00:18:42.740 Maybe just as a courtesy, they'll allow him to use the women's bathroom.
00:18:46.680 Well, hold on.
00:18:47.500 I think it probably is a big deal.
00:18:50.240 I know a fair number of the members of Congress.
00:18:53.300 I know some of the ladies in Congress.
00:18:55.020 I know some of the conservative ladies in Congress.
00:18:57.020 I strongly suspect they will object to being forced to sharing a bathroom with a man.
00:19:05.140 As they well should object to that.
00:19:08.380 Of course.
00:19:10.200 Not even necessarily as a matter of safety, though.
00:19:12.960 I suppose that's part of it.
00:19:14.640 Part of the reason that women have their own bathrooms is so that they don't have to be in vulnerable positions next to men.
00:19:21.800 In part, it is for their own safety.
00:19:23.200 But even beyond that, some women just don't want to have to do that.
00:19:26.140 That's why we have men's bathrooms and women's bathrooms in the first place.
00:19:29.900 So for the GOP leadership, are they going to hold the line on this ideology?
00:19:34.220 Are they going to defend their female members?
00:19:36.200 Are they going to say, hey, hey, Buster, you can pretend to be a woman, I guess, and there's not much we can do about it.
00:19:40.560 But we ain't going to let you use the women's bathroom.
00:19:43.460 Or are they going to go squishy and say, oh, this is going to be a big headache.
00:19:47.000 We don't want to make a big deal of this.
00:19:48.560 Fine.
00:19:48.900 We'll just look the other way when you use the women's bathroom.
00:19:50.880 Well, if they do that, they are implicitly accepting all of trans ideology.
00:19:59.900 They are implicitly accepting that a man really can become a woman.
00:20:02.860 They are embracing the transgender ideology.
00:20:05.640 They are gutting some of the most basic principles about human nature.
00:20:10.340 We've said often in recent years that the conservatives have been feckless.
00:20:15.640 They haven't even been able to conserve the women's bathroom.
00:20:18.720 Well, here we have the literal example of this.
00:20:22.000 What is Mike Johnson going to do?
00:20:23.740 What is the GOP leadership going to do here?
00:20:26.520 It's going to seem like a minor thing, but that's what the left has been telling us for years.
00:20:30.280 Oh, it's just a bathroom.
00:20:31.640 Oh, it's just a sports league.
00:20:33.500 Oh, it's just this.
00:20:35.120 Oh, it's just the definition of marriage.
00:20:37.340 Oh, it's just about some tax benefits.
00:20:38.700 It's, oh, it's just about hospital visitation rights.
00:20:42.380 Oh, it's this little thing.
00:20:43.420 Oh, who cares?
00:20:43.980 Stop making a big deal about it.
00:20:45.240 Stop making a big deal about it.
00:20:46.440 All of a sudden you look up and you've redefined the fundamental political institution and no
00:20:50.340 one can even tell you what a woman is anymore, including a Supreme Court justice with two
00:20:53.420 Harvard degrees during her confirmation hearings.
00:20:57.800 This isn't just a trivial matter.
00:20:59.740 The left knows it's not a trivial matter.
00:21:01.460 That's why they spend so much time and energy trying to force these kinds of crazy upheavals
00:21:06.900 upon us, focused in no small part on bathrooms.
00:21:11.280 If I were a female member of Congress, I would object to this.
00:21:14.880 And I think they should object to this.
00:21:17.040 And I think Republican leadership can't prevent this guy from wearing a dress, can't prevent
00:21:20.740 this guy from calling himself Sarah.
00:21:22.180 Though I, if I were a member, I would not refer to him as Sarah and I would not refer to him
00:21:25.680 as Ms. or Mrs. or anything like that.
00:21:28.260 I'd call him by his name.
00:21:30.680 And his name, by the way, can't be Sarah because Sarah is a girl's name.
00:21:33.280 All right.
00:21:33.660 There's some people who say, well, I won't use the she pronouns, but I will call him Sarah
00:21:38.340 because you can choose your own name.
00:21:39.440 I didn't choose my own name.
00:21:40.340 You didn't choose your own name.
00:21:41.720 No, you don't really get to choose your own name.
00:21:45.240 Liberalism tells you you can choose everything about yourself, but no, Sarah is a girl's name.
00:21:48.940 There are some marginal cases like Skylar or whatever, but Sarah is not a marginal case.
00:21:53.100 Sarah is a girl's name.
00:21:54.640 We don't call men Sarah.
00:21:57.660 You can maybe call a boy Sue, but as Johnny Cash tells us, that's not even a good thing
00:22:01.940 to do either.
00:22:03.880 I would hold firm on this, guys.
00:22:05.820 I know for any members who are listening and for staff members who are listening, there
00:22:10.180 is a lot more being smuggled in here than just some confused man from Delaware into a
00:22:15.060 bathroom.
00:22:15.980 There's so much more to say.
00:22:17.360 First, though, go to responsibleman.com.
00:22:19.600 Use code Knowles for 60% off.
00:22:21.760 Gentlemen, let's talk about something.
00:22:23.060 The libs don't want you to have, and that is robust, unapologetic health.
00:22:28.500 While they're busy pushing their soy-infused agenda, I've discovered a way to fortify ourselves
00:22:34.120 against the tide of cultural decay, and that would be responsible man vitamins.
00:22:39.100 I know what you're thinking.
00:22:40.280 Michael, aren't all vitamins the same?
00:22:43.160 Not even close.
00:22:44.600 Not even close, man.
00:22:46.400 Responsible Man created the Emerson multivitamin for men who take their duties seriously.
00:22:50.780 Not for the participation trophy crowd.
00:22:53.500 This isn't some feel-good supplement designed by coastal elites who think the masculinity is
00:22:58.340 toxic.
00:22:58.720 No, sir.
00:22:59.940 This is a multivitamin packed with 33 key ingredients that support your immune system,
00:23:04.220 sharpen your mind, keep your heart and muscles strong.
00:23:06.340 It's everything a conservative man needs to stand firm in these trying times.
00:23:10.280 Responsible Man is a Daily Wire Ventures company, so you know these vitamins are made
00:23:13.420 right here in America.
00:23:14.500 No Chinese knockoffs.
00:23:15.800 I don't want any Chinese vitamins.
00:23:17.340 No outsourcing to countries that resent our values.
00:23:20.060 Just good old American quality.
00:23:22.020 Because a strong America needs strong men.
00:23:23.780 Now, I'm not saying that Emerson multivitamin will single-handedly save Western civilization.
00:23:29.720 But it's a step in the right direction.
00:23:31.440 It's about taking responsibility for your health, something we can serve as know is crucial.
00:23:34.980 Right now, you can take advantage of Responsible Man's early access Black Friday sale.

00:23:50.980 Code Knolls.
00:23:52.360 Speaking of women's issues, the Secretary of Defense nominee, Mr. Pete Hegseth,
00:23:59.480 he's in lots of trouble with the liberals.
00:24:02.880 They've found the gotcha clip intended to torpedo his Senate confirmation.
00:24:08.560 It's a clip from an interview he gave to CNN where Pete Hegseth,
00:24:13.300 or it's at least being played on CNN.
00:24:15.200 It's actually probably from an earlier interview.
00:24:16.600 Pete Hegseth thinks that women should not be in combat.
00:24:23.540 Straight up just saying we should not have women in combat roles.
00:24:27.080 It hasn't made us more effective.
00:24:28.680 Hasn't made us more lethal.
00:24:29.980 Has made fighting more complicated.
00:24:31.480 We've all served with women, and they're great.
00:24:34.200 It's just our institutions don't have to incentivize that in places where traditionally,
00:24:40.520 not traditionally, over human history, men in those positions are more capable.
00:24:46.060 Can you believe Pete Hegseth, our future Secretary of Defense,
00:24:50.020 says women shouldn't serve in combat.
00:24:51.660 Can you believe this regressive knuckle dragger?
00:24:54.020 How about we, remember I was talking yesterday about how it's rather important not to be caught
00:24:59.600 in the lexical prisons of the left, when we have this once in a generation at least opportunity
00:25:04.740 to reset the relationship between the people and the press,
00:25:07.880 the conservatives and the Republicans and the press.
00:25:10.240 Well, the key to that is making sure that we're using the right language.
00:25:14.540 You know, in my book, Speechless, Controlling Words, Controlling Minds,
00:25:17.340 I make the point, thank you, I make the point that whoever controls the language,
00:25:21.960 controls the minds, because words don't just color the way we view the world,
00:25:26.060 they actually largely constitute how we view the world.
00:25:28.500 So the way I would look at this issue is I would observe at a really basic level,
00:25:33.600 beyond all the questions of the studies and the statistics and the ambiguities
00:25:37.940 and the blurring of the lines between the men and the women and this,
00:25:41.220 I would look at it and say, huh, seems to me that conservatives oppose violence against women.
00:25:47.820 And liberals don't oppose violence against women.
00:25:50.400 And there are multiple examples of this.
00:25:52.700 I don't want to have a country that sends our daughters off to catch bullets from jihadis.
00:26:01.380 I think that's disordered.
00:26:03.120 I think that's wrong.
00:26:04.620 Even if some of our daughters want to go do that, I think that's just a wrong thing to do.
00:26:10.100 I think that's not right.
00:26:12.200 Men should go out and protect women.
00:26:15.040 Men and women are different.
00:26:15.960 Remember, we still believe that as conservatives.
00:26:18.280 Maybe some people on the right don't.
00:26:20.780 But most normal people believe that men and women are different.
00:26:24.160 And one of those differences is that men ought to protect women.
00:26:26.600 And it is wrong for a country to send our daughters out,
00:26:30.900 including maybe through the draft, as many Democrats would like to see,
00:26:35.180 to draft women to go out there to catch bullets from jihadis
00:26:38.060 to protect effeminate, weak, and disgraceful men.
00:26:41.660 I think that's wrong.
00:26:42.560 Another example would be in sports.
00:26:46.520 You know, the left wants girls to be forced to compete against men in sports.
00:26:52.220 And the problem with this is not that we all love the WNBA so much.
00:26:56.320 No one really cares about the WNBA.
00:26:57.660 The problem with this is that it's gravely unjust and that it puts women at risk.
00:27:02.380 There's that story that came out a few years ago of a girl, high school girl,
00:27:05.340 playing volleyball, was forced to play against a man.
00:27:08.040 The man spiked the ball at her, gave her a brain injury.
00:27:12.200 The girl will never be the same.
00:27:14.420 She's partially paralyzed.
00:27:17.020 There was the case of the Olympics, where a fighter who would appear,
00:27:23.760 by most evidence, to have the biological markers of a man,
00:27:28.000 was allowed to compete against women.
00:27:29.440 In fact, one of his medical records reportedly leaked
00:27:35.540 and showed that as a matter of chromosomes, he was a man.
00:27:39.740 So he's beating up the women and he's winning the games.
00:27:42.560 I was talking to a gal at a school I was speaking at recently who said,
00:27:45.880 yeah, you know, in jujitsu, actually, you know, I liked it,
00:27:49.740 but then they got into the trans thing and then all the prizes went to the men.
00:27:53.480 The men just kept beating up the women.
00:27:54.720 So the left is for that.
00:27:56.060 The left is for violence against women.
00:27:57.840 Conservatives oppose violence against women.
00:27:59.680 Pete Hegseth opposes violence against women.
00:28:01.500 I think that's the right attitude to have.
00:28:03.480 By the way, everyone had that attitude until into Obama's second term.
00:28:08.520 For those who are a little rusty on their history,
00:28:11.700 women were prohibited from combat roles in the United States military
00:28:15.240 from the founding of our country, before the founding of our country,
00:28:19.280 all the way up till 2013.
00:28:20.900 Not even Obama's first term, Obama's second term,
00:28:25.040 when he really let the radicalism run loose and subjected women to violence.
00:28:30.860 But that's wrong.
00:28:32.320 You know, what was that?
00:28:33.020 That was 11 years ago now.
00:28:35.580 That seems like an error.
00:28:36.940 I think we've made a lot of errors over the last dozen or so years.
00:28:40.340 And part of President Trump's mandate in being elected,
00:28:43.060 especially this time with such a landslide,
00:28:44.920 is to correct some of those errors.
00:28:47.480 And I think Pete Hegseth is a great guy to do it over at the Pentagon.
00:28:50.140 Now, speaking of major positions being filled,
00:28:52.740 we now also have a Senate Majority Leader to succeed Mitch McConnell.
00:28:56.640 The winner is, drumroll please, John Thune.
00:29:02.280 Most people are not going to be all that excited about that pick.
00:29:04.900 John Thune is not the most right-wing warrior,
00:29:08.260 not the most rock-ribbed conservative out there.
00:29:10.360 According to Heritage Action, it gives him a conservative lifetime score of 62%,
00:29:16.000 which is to say that he is ranked with the average Republicans in the U.S. Senate.
00:29:21.980 This was to be expected.
00:29:23.920 There were three picks for Senate Majority Leader,
00:29:26.140 John Thune, John Cornyn out of Texas.
00:29:29.320 There was going to be another John, John Barroso, but he pulled out a while ago.
00:29:32.100 The other one was Rick Scott.
00:29:33.780 And so a lot of the conservatives were pulling for Rick Scott,
00:29:36.060 but not enough because the vote basically just came down to Cornyn and Thune,
00:29:40.340 and Thune won.
00:29:42.000 Okay, I know some conservatives are going to be a little disappointed about that.
00:29:46.220 However, I'm not in any way surprised.
00:29:50.680 Not whatsoever.
00:29:52.660 That position of party leadership in the Senate
00:29:56.500 is always filled by a squishier kind of character.
00:30:03.080 It's never filled by the right-wingers or the rock-ribbed kind of people.
00:30:08.700 And the reason for that is you've got to herd cats.
00:30:11.280 It's not quite as bad as being Speaker of the House or Republican Leader in the House,
00:30:14.860 but it's rough.
00:30:16.020 You've got to herd cats.
00:30:16.780 And there are liberal Republicans,
00:30:18.540 and there are a lot of Chamber of Commerce, Country Club Republicans,
00:30:21.660 and there are a handful of rock-ribbed Republicans.
00:30:24.700 But there ain't that many Ted Cruz's and Mike Lee's in the Senate is the problem.
00:30:28.620 And so Senate leadership usually reflects the members,
00:30:33.240 and the members are kind of squishy.
00:30:34.800 And it's because they get elected by people who vote for them.
00:30:38.020 So, you know, it's the old H.L. Mencken line,
00:30:40.900 democracy is the theory that the people know what they want and deserve to get it good and hard.
00:30:44.460 So I hope, I'm hopeful.
00:30:46.860 It's not that he's the most liberal Republican.
00:30:48.480 He's just kind of the average Republican.
00:30:49.960 I hope that he will get in line and help to implement the agenda that President Trump has been elected,
00:30:57.560 running ahead of the down-ballot races to implement.
00:31:02.320 I hope and I'm cautiously optimistic that he will have that message.
00:31:07.980 Now, speaking of the U.S. Senate,
00:31:10.640 the Democrats are trying to steal a Senate seat right now from Republicans.
00:31:13.920 It's not getting a lot of media attention.
00:31:16.620 Democrats are trying to drag out that race.
00:31:18.100 You thought the election was over.
00:31:19.120 It's not.
00:31:20.440 In Pennsylvania right now,
00:31:21.580 the Democrats are trying to steal the Senate seat that was won by Republican Dave McCormick.
00:31:25.580 Michael Watley, head of the RNC, just pointed this out.
00:31:28.800 He pointed it out last night.
00:31:29.800 He said, Pennsylvania,
00:31:30.780 tonight the RNC is filing two new lawsuits in Bucks County and the Pennsylvania Supreme Court
00:31:34.660 to stop the counting of illegal ballots.
00:31:36.880 We have won this court battle several times already.
00:31:39.580 Let's be clear.
00:31:40.520 Dave McCormick has won this race.
00:31:42.120 Bob Casey lost and Democrat officials and lawyers are trying to sow doubt in the Democrat process.
00:31:48.440 Our attorneys will not let this stand.
00:31:51.220 What is going on here?
00:31:54.280 McCormick won.
00:31:55.840 Bob Casey lost.
00:31:57.520 Even Chuck Schumer had to allow Dave McCormick eventually to come to the Senate orientation.
00:32:02.320 It's clear.
00:32:03.800 Bob Casey has lost a lot of his challenges in court.
00:32:06.580 So what are they trying to do?
00:32:07.920 Bob Casey is trying to have ballots that are ineligible to be counted for whatever reason,
00:32:15.100 because they were cast by ineligible voters, because they didn't have proper signatures,
00:32:19.260 because they were sent after the deadline.
00:32:21.800 Whatever the reason, he is trying to get any ballot that might have his name on it counted,
00:32:29.240 even if it's an ineligible ballot.
00:32:31.060 And so Watley, the head of the RNC, is saying, uh-uh, ain't going to fly.
00:32:34.600 We've won a bunch of times, starting on election night in Pennsylvania.
00:32:37.980 We're not going to allow it.
00:32:39.140 However, Republicans should not get complacent here.
00:32:42.180 Republicans should not think that the Democrats have no chance.
00:32:45.160 The Democrats successfully used this strategy to steal a Senate seat from Republicans in Minnesota in 2008.
00:32:53.000 That was the seat that was held by Norm Coleman, the seat that ultimately went to Al Franken,
00:33:00.300 because the Democrats stole it, okay?
00:33:03.680 There's a good piece in U.S. News and World Report that outlines this.
00:33:06.880 There was a good piece in the journal that at the time, you know, this was all obviously back over 10 years ago now.
00:33:13.320 But just from U.S. News and World Report and the journal.
00:33:17.520 The day after the election, GOP Senator Norm Coleman had a 725-vote lead.
00:33:22.740 Then the Democrats took six months, recount after recount after recount,
00:33:28.400 and ultimately Al Franken won by 312 votes.
00:33:31.000 How did they swing it?
00:33:31.800 How did they swing it from 725 votes to 312 in the other direction?
00:33:36.020 Well, according to Minnesota Majority, which was a conservative organization,
00:33:39.340 at least 341 convicted felons voted in Minneapolis's Hennepin County,
00:33:45.760 which was the largest county in the state.
00:33:48.100 Another 52 voted illegally in St. Paul's Ramsey County,
00:33:51.940 which is the second largest in the state.
00:33:54.220 The head of Minnesota Majority, Dan McGrath,
00:33:56.720 said that only conclusive matches were included in the group's totals.
00:34:00.980 So there may have been more convicted felons who voted illegally.
00:34:03.820 And the number of felons voting in those two counties alone exceeded Al Franken's margin of victory.
00:34:11.780 So you say, well, we don't know exactly who the felons voted for.
00:34:14.400 But we kind of do, because felons, convicts, are much more likely to vote for Democrats.
00:34:22.100 And they're even more likely to vote for Democrats once they get out of prison
00:34:26.480 in the states where they are permitted to vote.
00:34:30.300 In Minnesota at the time, they were not permitted to vote, but they did anyway.
00:34:33.840 And the Democrats, over six months of lawfare, were able to steal that seat from Norm Coleman.
00:34:38.400 Don't think they can't do it in Pennsylvania.
00:34:39.780 I think the RNC is doing a very good job.
00:34:41.820 They're on the ground.
00:34:42.520 They're on top of it.
00:34:43.320 But we cannot let our guard down.
00:34:46.340 Democrats will do everything they can to steal that seat.
00:34:48.660 Then you reduce the Republicans' margins from 53 in the Senate to 52 in the Senate.
00:34:53.160 All of a sudden, that makes confirmation a lot harder,
00:34:55.380 because you've got some squishy Republicans out there.
00:34:58.260 You've got Susan Collins.
00:34:59.580 You've got Lisa Murkowski.
00:35:00.620 You've got some squishes, okay?
00:35:03.160 Do not let Pennsylvania go.
00:35:05.940 Now, speaking of shady Democrat practices, the Democrats, and actually letting your guard down,
00:35:11.580 the Democrats have let their guard down on one of the reasons that they are so furious
00:35:16.360 about President Trump's promised policy of mass deportation.
00:35:20.160 And the reason is, it's going to be more expensive to get their lawn mowed.
00:35:24.740 We'll get to that in one moment.
00:35:26.200 First, though, Am I Racist hit theaters in September.

00:36:05.160 My favorite comment yesterday is from Rat Boyd, who says,
00:36:08.180 the only norms of the past 50 years that should be reestablished is Norm MacDonald.
00:36:14.500 That's good.
00:36:15.060 It's kind of also funny that I was just talking about Norm Coleman.
00:36:18.020 I guess it would have been good to reestablish him,
00:36:20.720 although he was a pretty liberal Republican senator,
00:36:22.600 so it's kind of passed anyway.
00:36:24.840 But yeah, Norm MacDonald, I agree.
00:36:26.560 That old chunk of coal, I totally, totally agree.
00:36:30.280 And who was that comment from?
00:36:31.740 You guessed it, Frank Stallone.
00:36:33.960 Speaking of shady Democrat practices,
00:36:37.280 here is a TikTok lib saying the quiet part out loud
00:36:41.740 about the leftist opposition to deportation.
00:36:44.660 So your lawn maintenance is about to skyrocket
00:36:49.300 because 90% of workers in the lawn maintenance industry,
00:36:55.240 they come from Mexico.
00:36:56.540 And whether they're here legally or not,
00:36:59.440 Stephen Miller, who Trump's going to put in charge of his mass deportation project,
00:37:04.420 is going to deport them.
00:37:06.160 They're also going to deport people who are naturalized citizens.
00:37:11.180 These are jobs that Americans will not do, okay?
00:37:16.180 American families are not letting their young adults work in the lawn maintenance industry.
00:37:22.580 These companies may be owned by Americans,
00:37:24.940 but their employees are from Mexico.
00:37:27.320 Okay, put aside her second part there for a moment.
00:37:30.980 And Americans don't want to work hard.
00:37:32.700 She might not want to work hard.
00:37:33.660 I know plenty of Americans who want to work hard.
00:37:36.080 Just think about the first part.
00:37:37.740 We had been told for years now
00:37:40.560 that the Democrats supported open borders,
00:37:43.740 supported mass migration,
00:37:44.820 opposed the enforcement of our immigration law
00:37:46.640 because we just have to care
00:37:49.680 for the poor, oppressed dreamers
00:37:53.360 who want a shot at the American dream.
00:37:57.240 We have to give them every opportunity.
00:38:00.820 And that is why it is so important
00:38:02.440 that we trap them in indentured servitude
00:38:05.680 and make them mow our lawns
00:38:07.260 for wages that are lower than any real American would ever accept.
00:38:12.120 That is why, because we love them so much,
00:38:14.420 we care so much about them,
00:38:15.780 that we have to make them quasi-slaves
00:38:18.360 and pay them off the books,
00:38:22.240 slave wages to mow our lawn and clean our homes.
00:38:27.700 Because we, we liberal suburban women,
00:38:31.840 we would never do any work around our house.
00:38:35.600 Our suburban liberal husbands
00:38:37.840 would never purchase a lawnmower.
00:38:39.740 No, no.
00:38:40.700 That's why we need to trap foreign peasants
00:38:45.040 in cycles of indentured servitude
00:38:48.060 for their own good
00:38:49.060 because of how much we care about them.
00:38:52.480 Yikes, lady.
00:38:53.720 Whoa.
00:38:56.100 I don't know.
00:38:56.820 I think it's not that hard to mow a lawn.
00:38:58.500 I'm not saying I like doing it.
00:39:00.100 I don't really have much of a lawn though,
00:39:01.200 so I don't need to worry about it.
00:39:02.020 But you, that's great.
00:39:03.160 You've had a successful life.
00:39:04.660 You got a big yard
00:39:05.620 and your nice suburban enclave.
00:39:07.060 Okay, well, tell your hubby
00:39:08.880 he's going to have to mow the lawn
00:39:10.580 or he's going to have to hire people
00:39:12.560 who are here legally
00:39:13.420 and he's going to have to pay them fair wages.
00:39:17.340 You know, I'm not being cute about this.
00:39:20.400 One of the four sins that cries out to God
00:39:22.480 traditionally in Christianity
00:39:23.900 is oppression of the poor,
00:39:25.680 you know, denying the poor their wages.
00:39:27.260 This lady's bragging about it.
00:39:28.920 This lady's exalting denying the poor fair wages
00:39:31.740 as if it were some kind of virtue.
00:39:34.900 But we must be able to
00:39:36.840 effectively steal the wages of foreign peasants.
00:39:40.960 Good grief, lady.
00:39:42.120 No wonder the Democrats
00:39:44.840 are no longer considered
00:39:45.840 the party of the poor of the working class.
00:39:48.260 You're actively campaigning
00:39:49.900 on slightly reducing
00:39:51.780 the lawn maintenance fees of wealthy people.
00:39:54.780 I don't think so.
00:39:55.800 I don't think that's a good argument.
00:39:57.220 I think plenty of Americans would do that job
00:39:58.920 and maybe you have to pay them a fair wage
00:40:00.540 and sorry, sorry for you.
00:40:02.560 I guess you're going to have to cut your vacation
00:40:04.140 in St. Martin a little short this year.
00:40:06.700 You're going to have to go for nine days
00:40:08.060 instead of 11 days.
00:40:08.980 Sorry, sorry.
00:40:10.000 My heart breaks for you.
00:40:11.060 Speaking of shaking up the government,
00:40:14.000 President Trump has just made
00:40:16.840 one of the most exciting promises yet.
00:40:19.920 And this is in concert with his DOGE initiative,
00:40:23.140 the Department of Government Efficiency.
00:40:24.760 Trump wants to cut the Department of Education.
00:40:28.040 And one other thing I'll be doing
00:40:30.560 very early in the administration
00:40:31.920 is closing up the Department of Education
00:40:34.460 in Washington, D.C.
00:40:36.160 and sending all education
00:40:38.720 and education work and needs
00:40:40.780 back to the states.
00:40:42.420 We want them to run
00:40:44.040 the education of our children
00:40:46.080 because they'll do a much better job of it.
00:40:48.760 You can't do worse.
00:40:50.260 We spend more money per pupil
00:40:52.380 by three times
00:40:54.160 than any other nation.
00:40:56.320 And yet we're absolutely at the bottom.
00:40:59.820 We're one of the worst.
00:41:01.400 So you can't do worse.
00:41:02.900 We're going to end education
00:41:04.860 coming out of Washington, D.C.
00:41:06.920 We're going to close it up.
00:41:08.560 All those buildings all over the place.
00:41:10.640 And you have people that in many cases
00:41:12.180 hate our children.
00:41:13.460 We're going to send it all back to the states.
00:41:15.940 Thank you very much.
00:41:17.440 OK, the Libs lose their mind.
00:41:19.840 The Squishers are a little skeptical.
00:41:21.260 Just another trip down memory lane.
00:41:24.920 Every GOP candidate
00:41:26.560 in my lifetime just about
00:41:28.220 has promised to end
00:41:29.820 the Department of Education.
00:41:31.300 Reason is,
00:41:32.480 the Department of Education
00:41:33.060 was founded in 1979
00:41:34.060 by Jimmy Carter.
00:41:35.660 And its purpose
00:41:37.120 was to make Americans
00:41:39.240 better educated and smarter.
00:41:41.540 That hasn't happened.
00:41:43.940 America is now ranked much lower
00:41:45.760 in educational quality
00:41:47.300 than it was
00:41:48.500 when the department was founded.
00:41:50.200 Test scores in America
00:41:52.520 have gone down.
00:41:54.240 The Department of Education
00:41:55.060 has failed at its task.
00:41:56.800 What it has succeeded at doing
00:41:58.220 is forcing
00:42:00.340 fashionable leftist policies
00:42:02.800 on local schools
00:42:04.220 that should rightly be
00:42:06.920 controlling their own affairs.
00:42:09.040 It's good at that.
00:42:10.180 It's not good at teaching the ABCs.
00:42:11.640 It's very good at teaching the LGBs
00:42:13.280 and forcing those curricula
00:42:14.880 on local schools.
00:42:17.360 But it's failed at its mission.
00:42:18.600 So if you give an institution
00:42:20.960 45 years
00:42:22.860 to achieve something
00:42:24.300 and it fails to achieve that mission,
00:42:27.160 the reasonable thing to do
00:42:29.000 is to end that institution
00:42:30.780 and maybe try again
00:42:32.780 or maybe don't.
00:42:33.320 Maybe recognize things
00:42:34.060 were actually better
00:42:34.500 before you even founded it.
00:42:36.620 Every GOP candidate
00:42:38.160 just about in my lifetime
00:42:39.640 has promised to end this.
00:42:41.620 What distinguishes Trump
00:42:42.980 from those other GOP candidates
00:42:44.340 is not just that
00:42:46.880 he's radical or something,
00:42:48.760 that he offers something
00:42:49.700 totally different
00:42:50.260 from those candidates.
00:42:52.620 Largely,
00:42:53.220 what distinguishes Trump
00:42:54.080 from the other GOP candidates
00:42:55.180 is that he actually endeavors
00:42:57.420 to keep his promises.
00:42:59.840 You think about moving the embassy
00:43:00.860 in the state of Israel
00:43:01.840 to Jerusalem.
00:43:03.040 Every GOP candidate
00:43:04.040 in my lifetime
00:43:04.680 just about had promised that.
00:43:06.900 That had been official U.S. policy
00:43:08.240 since I was a kid.
00:43:09.500 But most of those GOP candidates
00:43:12.780 never intended to actually do it.
00:43:14.320 They were just lying.
00:43:15.720 Just a little thing
00:43:16.560 you say in the campaign trail.
00:43:17.500 You're not serious about it though.
00:43:19.780 Trump,
00:43:20.260 his big mistake was
00:43:21.280 he actually kept his promises.
00:43:22.940 That's what so shocked
00:43:24.240 everyone in Washington.
00:43:25.480 So this is a great one
00:43:26.420 and it is amazing to think.
00:43:28.580 Jimmy Carter is still alive.
00:43:29.600 He's been in hospice now
00:43:30.440 for almost two years.
00:43:31.620 Jimmy Carter
00:43:32.160 might live long enough
00:43:33.680 to see the abolition
00:43:35.400 of a federal department
00:43:37.300 that he established.
00:43:39.500 pretty amazing.
00:43:42.220 I don't have any political point
00:43:43.420 to make about that.
00:43:44.000 It's just kind of a quirk
00:43:44.820 of history.
00:43:46.680 Now,
00:43:47.540 story I have to get to
00:43:48.920 as the libs lose their minds
00:43:51.840 over the Trump ascension
00:43:54.400 and the beginning
00:43:54.860 of his administration.
00:43:57.780 Rachel Zegler.
00:43:59.040 Do you know her?
00:44:00.480 Rachel Zegler is,
00:44:01.760 she's the gal
00:44:02.460 who was cast
00:44:03.460 to play Snow White
00:44:04.580 and she irritated Disney fans
00:44:08.600 because she apparently
00:44:11.400 hates the story
00:44:12.260 and hates love
00:44:13.260 and princes
00:44:14.340 and the relation
00:44:15.460 between the sexes
00:44:16.260 and she tried to make
00:44:17.180 Snow White really woke
00:44:18.200 and there was a huge backlash
00:44:19.920 from that.
00:44:20.900 Well,
00:44:21.840 unsurprising,
00:44:22.600 Rachel Zegler
00:44:23.160 has responded
00:44:24.260 to the Trump election
00:44:25.080 by wishing violence
00:44:26.580 on Trump supporters.
00:44:27.600 Here's what she said.
00:44:29.260 It was a post
00:44:30.240 to Instagram.
00:44:32.080 I find myself speechless
00:44:33.040 in the midst of this.
00:44:33.820 Another four years
00:44:34.360 of hatred
00:44:34.900 leaning us toward a world
00:44:36.180 I do not want to live in.
00:44:37.400 Leaning us toward a world
00:44:38.620 that will be hard
00:44:39.160 to raise my daughter in.
00:44:40.380 Leaning us toward a world
00:44:41.240 that will force her
00:44:42.640 to have a baby
00:44:43.240 she doesn't want.
00:44:44.360 You know,
00:44:44.500 leaning us toward a world
00:44:45.500 that won't let my daughter
00:44:46.880 kill my grandchild.
00:44:48.340 Leaning us toward a world
00:44:49.040 that is fearful.
00:44:49.700 I shouldn't be this shocked,
00:44:51.080 but I am.
00:44:51.520 I'm heartbroken
00:44:52.040 for my friends
00:44:52.740 who awoke with fear.
00:44:53.760 Okay,
00:44:54.020 blah, blah, blah.
00:44:55.040 Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:44:55.640 Then she goes on to the bottom.
00:44:57.180 I echo Ethel Kane's statement
00:44:59.040 more than anything.
00:44:59.700 May Trump supporters
00:45:00.660 and Trump voters
00:45:01.240 and Trump himself
00:45:01.800 never know peace.
00:45:04.540 What does it mean
00:45:05.420 not to know peace?
00:45:08.100 What is the opposite of peace?
00:45:10.460 What is the absence of peace?
00:45:12.340 It's violence.
00:45:13.560 So another way to phrase
00:45:14.560 with perfect semantic meaning
00:45:19.000 is may Trump supporters
00:45:22.560 and Trump voters
00:45:23.960 and Trump himself
00:45:24.640 know violence.
