Why is ABC News paying President Trump $15 million?
00:00:35.220
The Duke Lacrosse accuser from 20 years ago has finally come clean, admits she lied about
00:00:40.440
the whole thing, and with that confession, the Me Too era is officially over.

meals together, celebrating what makes America great.
00:00:57.180
But between the crowded grocery stores, the questionable meat sourcing, preparing that
00:01:01.980
perfect Christmas feast has become more stressful than it should be, which is why I trust Good

George Stephanopoulos, the chief political anchor at ABC News, the former White House communications
00:02:00.780
director under Bill Clinton, a total hatchet man for the Democrat establishment.
00:02:07.020
George Stephanopoulos and ABC News have just apologized to President Trump for lying about
00:02:14.040
And they've apologized with their words, and they've also apologized with $15 million that
00:02:20.700
they have been forced to donate to the future President Trump Library and Museum.
00:02:33.440
It all happened because George Stephanopoulos alleged 10 times in an interview with Nancy Mace
00:02:39.080
that President Trump had been found liable for rape and for defaming the victim of that
00:02:45.560
Trump said that that is actually defamation of me because that is not true about me, Donald
00:02:53.120
And so he sued ABC News and George Stephanopoulos.
00:02:55.960
And in America, it's very difficult to successfully sue for defamation if you're a public figure.
00:03:01.560
Donald Trump is the most public figure on planet Earth and has been for a long time.
00:03:07.440
George Stephanopoulos, he was joking about this lawsuit.
00:03:11.140
He said he will not be cowed by Donald John Trump into neglecting the duties of his job.
00:03:23.400
I was interviewing a congresswoman named Nancy Mace, who used to be highly critical.
00:03:31.500
And she famously started her political career in a statehouse when she was in the statehouse
00:03:40.560
And so I asked her how she could be, as a victim of rape, how could she support someone
00:03:49.980
Trump sued me because I used the word rape, even though a judge said that's in fact what
00:03:55.640
And in fact, we filed the motion to dismiss last week.
00:04:01.960
And she she tried to say that I was the problem for asking the question rather than he being
00:04:06.760
the problem because a jury found him liable for defamation and sexual abuse.
00:04:12.780
So you're a you're a major political reporter and anchor.
00:04:16.060
How how does it feel to be sued by the the former president for defamation for just doing
00:04:25.040
Unfortunately, it now comes with the territory, but I'm not going to be cowed out of doing
00:04:32.420
OK, and to be fair, George Stephanopoulos was doing his job.
00:04:36.080
His job as the chief political analyst for ABC is to lie about Donald Trump and Republicans.
00:04:40.900
His job is to smear and defame anyone even slightly to the right of Hillary Clinton.
00:04:48.460
But now, because his job involves such dishonesty, because his job involves defamation, which is
00:05:02.180
ABC News is going to have to pay 15 million dollars to President Trump and Trump in his
00:05:07.540
magnanimity said, look, you don't need to pay it to me personally.
00:05:15.100
Oh, and by the way, the charity is going to be the Donald John Trump Presidential Library.
00:05:19.260
Now, I have said for many years now that the Trump Library, unlike the Bush Library, the
00:05:23.980
Obama Library, the Clinton Library, I think that Trump should establish the Donald Trump
00:05:30.540
And I think he should build it in Atlantic City.
00:05:32.780
And I think you just really go all the way with it.
00:05:35.340
And in any case, whatever he builds, ABC and George Stephanopoulos are going to be responsible
00:05:40.380
for 15 million dollars of that build, plus a million dollars for Trump's attorney's fees
00:05:45.240
because the judge did not find Trump liable for rape.
00:05:52.220
So not only did they have to pay the money, they also had to add an editor's note to a story
00:05:59.440
ABC News and George Stephanopoulos regret statements regarding President Donald J.
00:06:04.360
Trump made during an interview by George Stephanopoulos with Rep Nancy Mace on ABC's This Week on
00:06:16.600
Not out of cruelty, not to take vengeance into our own hands or purely to be vindictive.
00:06:22.860
We need to kick them while they're down as a matter of strategy.
00:06:27.820
The left, the liberal establishment, is being really dishonest.
00:06:33.960
Just in this case, we're talking about defamation, but they're violating the law by not enforcing
00:06:37.880
They're violating the law by trouncing on the rights of women and taking away their bathrooms
00:06:42.840
They're violating the law by giving a blanket amnesty that even Barack Obama admitted was
00:06:53.520
They're doing things that are certainly unjust.
00:06:55.040
And so now that we have an opportunity, perhaps a once in a generation opportunity, not just
00:07:01.280
to reset the relationship between the citizen and the state, but also between the citizen
00:07:06.100
and the state and the press, the press, which is supposed to be the medium or the media
00:07:12.640
We need to make sure that we take this opportunity, crack their corrupt stranglehold on public speech
00:07:21.460
It means the media have substantial control over the whole political order.
00:07:25.920
Guys like Stephanopoulos, organizations like ABC News, they've abused their power.
00:07:37.040
Make them pay in their apologies and make them pay in the viewership that they are bleeding.
00:07:45.020
The woman at the center of the Duke lacrosse scandal.
00:07:47.780
Many of the people listening to this show right now will not remember the Duke lacrosse
00:07:54.140
The Duke lacrosse team was accused of raping a stripper, Crystal Magnum, I think her name was.
00:08:00.320
This former stripper now has come out and admitted she made the whole thing up.
00:08:08.120
I testified falsely against them by saying that they raped me when they didn't.
00:08:16.260
And I betrayed the trust of a lot of other people who believed in me.
00:08:28.880
And made up a story that wasn't true because I wanted validation from people and not from God.
00:08:50.920
I realize now I was seeking the validation of the principalities of this world instead of from God.
00:09:03.940
We think that the Me Too era started four or five years ago.
00:09:09.180
The Me Too era started with the Duke lacrosse scandal.
00:09:19.880
Bill Clinton, obviously we were just talking about George Stephanopoulos.
00:09:22.320
Bill Clinton, he was actually accused of rape by Juanita Broderick.
00:09:25.180
But most of the sex scandals that actually got the guy impeached were about Bill Clinton having a consensual affair with an intern and with this woman and that woman.
00:09:41.240
It wasn't the accusation of a man raping a woman and having everyone believe it even without any evidence.
00:09:48.440
Having the case tried in the court of public opinion even before it was tried in a court of law these days with Me Too.
00:09:56.080
It's some kangaroo court on campus or it's some media frenzy that destroys a person's career before anything is actually heard.
00:10:06.920
This ends that 20-year dark chapter where the gravity of crimes on the one hand and the rights of the accused were just totally thrown out the window.
00:10:17.320
And there's a little cherry on top of all that, how you really know this era is closed.
00:10:21.720
Got to give a hat tip to Jack Posobiec for finding this one.
00:10:25.280
There was one person within the universe of Duke University, during the Duke lacrosse scandal, there's one guy who was going on TV to defend the rights of the accused.
00:10:37.560
To even suggest that maybe these guys who have maintained their innocence, whose innocence has now been proven, might actually be innocent.
00:10:44.760
That guy is Stephen Miller, who is about to become the deputy White House chief of staff under President Trump.
00:10:51.400
We're very, very concerned that two innocent people may have possibly just had their lives ruined.
00:10:59.080
Your first concern is that somebody's falsely accused?
00:11:03.880
I was disturbed to see how people were saying, why aren't they coming forward?
00:11:08.780
Why haven't they spoken out against other players?
00:11:15.760
Oh, I understand your point, but it's also freedom of speech.
00:11:18.640
People have a right, just like you're expressing your opinion, to express their opinion.
00:11:20.920
They do, but it was prosecuted as a witch hunt from the beginning.
00:11:24.160
People presumed their guilt, and in America, we don't do that.
00:11:27.280
There was never any real evidence against these players.
00:11:29.940
The DNA didn't match on any count in any way, in any capacity, this entire time.
00:11:34.760
You have absolutely no reason to believe these players committed this crime.
00:11:37.820
One of the players has a solid alibi during the time the crime was supposed to have occurred.
00:11:42.560
I cannot think of one case, one case of equivalent or near profile in the United States of America
00:11:48.080
where there's been so little reason for three people or one person or anybody to be brought to trial.
00:11:58.360
A lot of people forget Stephen Miller was even around Duke at this time.
00:12:02.260
The chief accuser who kicked off the whole era just admits she lied about everything.
00:12:06.780
The notion that we have to believe all women, which was totally absurd, of course,
00:12:14.340
That, totally out the window, the most prominent accuser of the proto-MeToo era just admits,
00:12:25.920
And now the guy who was a lone voice defending the innocent accused at that time
00:12:31.620
is entering the White House in one of the most prominent and important positions.
00:12:36.340
That is a really, really healthy sign for the culture.
00:12:41.440
The arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends toward justice.
00:12:50.400
First, though, go to puretalk.com slash Knowles.
00:12:53.340
There is no shortage of ads from the big wireless carriers offering the latest iPhone for free.
00:12:59.960
Free means that to qualify, you need to trade in your phone valued at $1,000.
00:13:03.920
You need to be on the $100 a month unlimited plan and pay the $35 activation fee.
00:13:08.880
That's a lot of money for a free phone, wouldn't you say?
00:13:12.060
PureTalk, my cell phone company, has a better option.
00:13:15.120
Get a brand new iPhone 14, which has all the bells and whistles you need.
00:13:18.360
Plus, get unlimited talk, text, 15 gigs of data, and mobile hotspot, all for $50 a month.
00:13:25.240
Half the price of the big guys, you get a new iPhone powered by America's most dependable 5G network.
00:13:31.040
Go to puretalk.com slash Knowles, K-N-O-W-L-E-S.
00:13:33.760
Switching is easy, and when you go to puretalk.com slash Knowles,
00:13:36.560
you will get an additional 50, 5-0% off your first month.
00:13:42.060
I've had my PureTalk phone for years at this point, probably got to be three years.
00:13:55.240
Speaking of women, Hollywood, is Sydney Sweeney hot?
00:14:02.460
This is the debate that has taken over social media.
00:14:06.860
Much of my Twitter feed is Sydney Sweeney hot, and people can't agree on this question.
00:14:19.300
I am not going to wade into the substantive matter all that much.
00:14:24.420
I'm not going to make some impassioned case for why or why not Sydney Sweeney is hot,
00:14:29.180
because I find that untoward, because I'm a married man, and that's just not the sort of thing a respectable fellow would do.
00:14:35.080
However, I will make one cultural observation why the is Sydney Sweeney hot debate matters,
00:14:42.320
and that is this whole debate, the fact that the debate is taking place, is proof of widespread pornography addiction.
00:14:51.140
I think that's really what lies at the heart of this, and you don't need to just take my word for it.
00:14:55.620
You can also take the credibility and the authority of Jean Baudrillard, who's a sociologist, a postmodern philosopher.
00:15:04.960
However, we've mentioned him on this show before.
00:15:07.800
You might recall, I don't know, two years ago, three years ago, I had a great commentator,
00:15:11.920
Vocal Distance On, and he was discussing Baudrillard's theory of hyper-reality.
00:15:17.880
And the analogy he used was, he said, you know, in ancient days, people ate strawberries.
00:15:22.660
And they said, well, the strawberry tastes really good.
00:15:25.000
And then over time, they said, you know, the strawberry is so good, but I want even more of the strawberry,
00:15:33.340
And then over the years, they said, oh, this jam, it's not enough.
00:15:48.120
And then they said, no, even that's not enough.
00:15:49.980
I want a strawberry Jolly Rancher-flavored soda.
00:15:54.880
And by the time you reach the end of this process,
00:15:57.620
people really like the strawberry Jolly Rancher-flavored soda.
00:16:01.680
But if they actually picked up a regular old strawberry, they wouldn't recognize it.
00:16:08.460
That you've distilled the essence of the thing down so far that it now bears very little
00:16:13.900
resemblance to the actual thing that you started with.
00:16:17.480
I was thinking about Baudrillard, not just because of our conversation with vocal distance,
00:16:21.700
or not just because of hyper-reality, but Baudrillard wrote a book about seduction.
00:16:26.120
And I think this helps to explain why people are confused about whether or not Sidney Sweeney,
00:16:31.740
who is manifestly a rather pretty lass, whether or not she's attractive.
00:16:36.700
He wrote this book about seduction, and he focused a lot of it on pornography.
00:16:43.120
He said, pornography promotes female pleasure in so exaggerated a manner
00:16:48.600
only in order to better bury the uncertainty that hovers over the black continent of femininity.
00:16:55.000
He says that the female is a principle of uncertainty.
00:16:59.200
He views being male as a principle of production.
00:17:04.260
That's what lies at the essence of masculinity, of being a male.
00:17:09.100
Whereas with femininity, it's all about this uncertainty.
00:17:13.200
And he says, what's so interesting about drag queens, transvestites, is sometimes they'll have a mustache.
00:17:18.020
Sometimes they'll have their chest hair sticking out.
00:17:20.140
That what transvestitism is about is not so much the seduction of another person as the seduction of signs and symbols.
00:17:28.860
I mean, just to bring it back down to earth, we can see that kind of strawberry jolly rancher milkshake,
00:17:38.140
The drag queen is so exaggerated a caricature of a female that the drag queen is almost unrecognizable from the female.
00:17:49.700
Or what being a female actually is, is basically unrecognizable if you were to look at a drag queen.
00:17:55.540
It's so exaggerated that it's just taken on its own kind of being.
00:18:02.740
With the Sidney Sweeney is hot debate, I think Baudrillard is really on to something.
00:18:09.900
Even though he's a postmodern philosopher, he's really on to something here.
00:18:12.120
Which is that when people get really into pornography or into any kind of hyper-real distillation of something,
00:18:31.420
They no longer can even recognize a strawberry.
00:18:39.180
That is to say, a forcing of signs, a Baroque enterprise of over-signification touching on the grotesque.
00:18:46.620
The obscenity itself burns and consumes its object.
00:18:52.320
If one cannot recognize that Sidney Sweeney possesses a kind of attractiveness,
00:18:59.020
it is probably because one has so burned out one's censors on pornography.
00:19:04.320
And I don't even just mean literal pornography.
00:19:06.200
I mean the overstimulation of our culture, the saturation with caricature and grotesquerie.
00:19:12.800
The culture has become just so decadent that, well, you see this every year.
00:19:17.420
There's surveys that come out about pornography, the top terms they're searched for.
00:19:21.960
And they always become weirder and weirder and more grotesque.
00:19:25.580
At a certain point, they don't even seem like they're connected to sex at all.
00:19:29.800
I remember there was a Supreme Court case that came up.
00:19:35.040
And it was about a type of pornography that involved just torturing kittens.
00:19:45.120
But even this discussion, it involved torturing poor little animals.
00:19:48.340
And what was so striking about the case is, it had nothing to do with sex.
00:19:54.880
It was this hyper real bizarre kind of perversion.
00:19:58.400
And I think that's basically where the culture leads you.
00:20:01.640
As a barometer, if you cannot find a glamorous Hollywood starlet of perfectly ordinary glamour, common glamour, but glamour nonetheless, attractive, something's gone wrong with your brain.
00:20:19.160
You got to get off the strawberry flavored Jolly Rancher sodas.
00:20:24.680
Now, speaking of pornography and hyper reality, there's another story coming out about this fact.
00:20:31.800
And it is that OnlyFans models are using AI chatbots to talk dirty to the perverts who subscribe to their websites.
00:20:46.180
But from what I read, the guys would pay money.
00:20:49.940
And part of what you're paying for is this illusion of a relationship, this kind of parasocial relationship with one of the pornography people.
00:20:57.420
But the women aren't actually chatting with you.
00:21:00.700
Previously, they would just hire people in the third world to chat with these men and to make them titillated.
00:21:08.140
Like, as with all of AI, it seems that automation is even coming to the pornography industry.
00:21:14.740
Some of the chatbots write responses to prompts that are sent to them by the people who run the OnlyFans websites.
00:21:23.060
Other chatbots that are apparently more lucrative actually initiate the chats with the subscribers.
00:21:32.020
They're better able to titillate the subscribers.
00:21:34.460
And so they'll, one example given in a news story here by Wired is that one of the subscribers, in response to this prompt initiated by a robot, gave the woman a $1,000 tip.
00:21:51.700
There are economic indicators that don't really represent the health of an economy.
00:21:59.460
GDP might be going up because people are subscribing to OnlyFans.
00:22:04.980
People are just being lazy and addicted to things and perverted.
00:22:13.620
Well, at least now it's not the women involved in this.
00:22:17.280
I think this is not good because it's only going to make the industry more efficient.
00:22:21.080
It's just like the screen when you go to McDonald's now.
00:22:23.580
It makes McDonald's much more efficient, which is fine when I want to get a double quarter pounder with cheese.
00:22:27.800
But if you make intrinsically vicious, evil industries more efficient, that is only going to have a negative effect.
00:22:35.740
It's going to have a negative effect, well, ultimately on your economy, I guess, because it's damaging the people.
00:22:40.460
But it's going to have a negative effect on the state of people's souls.
00:22:44.540
It's going to have a negative effect on the common good.
00:22:52.440
As Americans, we are extremely blessed to have people like the Navy SEALs and Army Rangers and many others to represent us and defend us during the worst of times.
00:23:01.060
However, in most countries, when war and violence break out, there's often no one to help the people caught in the middle.
00:23:07.040
That's where an organization called Stronghold Rescue and Relief steps in.
00:23:10.320
Founded by a former Navy SEAL, Stronghold sends small teams of U.S. veterans, like Navy SEALs and Army Rangers, into active war zones to conduct rescue missions and deliver life-saving care in the most remote and dangerous places imaginable.
00:23:24.080
Stronghold is able to serve others because they're funded by a subscription model similar to Netflix.
00:23:29.380
Every month, thousands of supporters each pitch in a little bit to keep Stronghold running.
00:23:33.720
If you would like to become a supporter, too, you go to strongholdrescue.org right now.
00:23:39.360
When you become a monthly supporter, you will receive the same kind of T-shirt that Stronghold teams wear during the real-world operations.
00:23:45.340
During the month of December only, a private donor has pledged to double the donation of every new supporter, up to $25,000 total.
00:23:52.440
So for less than the cost of a Netflix subscription or a meal at a restaurant, you can help create jobs for America's veterans and fund critical missions to serve the innocent, and it's totally tax-deductible.
00:24:02.180
Right now, go to strongholdrescue.org to become a supporter.
00:24:07.460
Now, speaking of threats, you know those drones that are flying over New Jersey that everyone's talking about, and people are asking, is it an alien invasion?
00:24:24.560
One New Jersey state senator is trying to shed some light on this.
00:24:28.500
This state senator, John Bramnick, told NewsNation that he suspects the government knows a lot more than they're letting on.
00:24:39.140
Whatever these drones are doing, the government really doesn't want us to know.
00:24:44.820
What that must mean is they're more concerned with us getting knowledge and being afraid of that information than having no knowledge and having all these questions.
00:24:57.180
It must be something going on that they can't tell us because they are so fearful of what the public's going to do when they hear what the drones are doing.
00:25:06.100
There's no way the Department of Defense does not know what's going on.
00:25:11.820
Have we heard one word from the Department of Defense?
00:25:14.960
Okay, so there are two ways to look at the Department of Defense, CIA, FBI, the deep state, and the state senator is expressing one of those views.
00:25:26.160
He's saying there's no way the Defense Department doesn't know.
00:25:29.400
There's no way our government doesn't know exactly what's going on.
00:25:45.440
But there's another view of the Pentagon and the CIA and the FBI and the deep state.
00:25:50.900
The other view is the Coen brothers' burn after reading view.
00:25:53.820
The other view is that these agencies, though they have done some heroic and impressive things, they're government agencies.
00:26:01.860
In burn after reading, the CIA, every time they try to do anything and fix any problem, it just gets 20 times worse.
00:26:08.300
And they say, okay, well, keep your eye on it, you know, and then things, people are dying and it's getting, it's totally crazy.
00:26:17.000
His view, the government, they're really in charge, don't worry.
00:26:20.000
And the government doesn't really know how to do anything effectively.
00:26:22.660
And what's odd is people simultaneously hold both of those views.
00:26:26.260
The very same people who will tell you that the government is full of bumbling idiots who can't do anything right.
00:26:31.040
And that's why we need to privatize so many sectors of our public life.
00:26:34.780
They're the same people who will tell you, oh, the CIA knows what's going on.
00:26:37.580
The Defense Department knows exactly what's going on.
00:26:39.240
They've got their finger on the pulse of every vein around the world.
00:26:44.120
Some more information coming out of New Jersey.
00:26:46.040
A New Jersey mayor, Michael Mellum, has just stated that he heard from the state of New Jersey that if any of these drones go down, they should not interfere with it.
00:26:56.460
They should call in a bomb squad and the state government immediately.
00:26:59.840
On the way here, I was on the phone with my OEM team, and we now have guidance coming from the state.
00:27:05.340
And that guidance does say two different things.
00:27:07.480
First of all, if there is a downed drone in our vicinity, we are immediately to call the bomb squad of our county.
00:27:13.240
And second, our fire department has been instructed to make sure they wear hazmat suits.
00:27:17.680
So if something falls out of the sky that people have seen, and some of these things are as big as an SUV,
00:27:22.880
if that happens, you're to treat this more than a plane crash.
00:27:32.700
That is correct, because they're not quite sure if there's a payload or not.
00:27:34.980
And that's what we were told during our briefing on Wednesday.
00:27:38.520
It sounds like it might very well be our highest level government.
00:27:42.120
It might be government assets that are being deployed as a countermeasure.
00:27:45.860
Okay, so this is another theory that Michael Mellum has floated, which is, and I saw this going around X as well,
00:27:59.300
However, they are a countermeasure against, if someone, say, had a dirty bomb, God forbid.
00:28:06.840
These are able to detect nuclear weapons or some terrible threat.
00:28:14.120
Or another theory is they're being sent over just as a trial run to see if they would work effectively as a countermeasure.
00:28:21.660
And secondly, to see how the public would react if there ever were an actual threat, which at present there is not.
00:28:27.040
But if there were, how would the public react to the drones flying overhead?
00:28:30.980
And then there's another theory expressed by John Kirby, the national security spokesman at the White House,
00:28:38.860
which is that we don't know anything about the drones.
00:28:44.240
This is pretty much full-on burn-after reading view.
00:28:49.200
And so because we know so little about the drones, we actually can't shoot them down.
00:28:53.320
Well, okay, the idea of taking something down, again, you want to worry about public safety.
00:28:58.400
First of all, we don't have enough conclusions to take that kind of a policy action.
00:29:02.000
But let's just assume for a minute, Martha, that we did.
00:29:04.560
I mean, you're not going to want to shoot something down where it could hit somebody's house or hurt somebody.
00:29:08.720
The Coast Guard says that there are 30 of them following one of their ships in the ocean.
00:29:13.440
I mean, again, we have to develop the policy options based on what we know we're dealing with here.
00:29:18.540
And we just don't know enough to make those kinds of, to take those kinds of actions.
00:29:22.080
But my goodness, we're going to do everything we can to find out.
00:29:33.920
You're telling me that you don't want the drone to go down on someone's house.
00:29:37.040
Well, what about when they're way out into the ocean following Coast Guard ships?
00:29:47.100
But by golly, Martha, we're going to get to the bottom of this.
00:29:53.080
I suppose if you put a gun to my head, if you put a drone to my head and said, Michael,
00:29:57.740
I find John Kirby's explanation to be the least likely because if the Pentagon, if the
00:30:04.840
White House didn't really know what was going on, I don't think they would tell you that.
00:30:08.940
I think that if the White House didn't really know something about these drones, they would
00:30:16.020
If this really were some threat that this were from Iran or from China or from wherever,
00:30:21.820
you know the first thing the White House would be doing is saying, we know everything.
00:30:27.620
The fact that their actual line, their strategic line is, yeah, we don't know what it is.
00:30:40.360
I am not easily distracted by things fluttering around in the sky.
00:30:49.920
I think that there are more pressing matters on the table.
00:30:52.700
And if this were really something to be concerned about,
00:30:56.560
then if that were the case, the White House's line would be, hey, we know exactly what it is.
00:31:05.580
With this kind of a dishonest, lying White House, then I would know it's time to be scared.
00:31:10.020
As of now, I'm not too concerned about the Martian landing or the Iranian landing, by the way.
00:31:14.960
The only alien invasion I'm concerned about is the one at the southern border that the White House seems to love distracting from.
00:31:29.980
Joe Biden just gave some remarks at a Marine Corps Reserve Toys for Tots events.
00:31:39.740
You want to talk about the end of these malicious, malignant eras, the Me Too era, this politically correct era.
00:32:02.280
The president and I are so grateful and we're honored to open the White House to all of you.
00:32:14.180
And then from the mouth of babes, you get this wisdom.
00:32:23.260
Every year, fewer and fewer conservatives make this point.
00:32:29.180
And then every year, the libs make fun of us conservatives for making this point.
00:32:32.220
And then every year, we make fun of the libs for making fun of us for making this point.
00:32:37.040
And we're trying to figure out who looks more ridiculous.
00:32:39.560
The people who say happy holidays or the people who criticize those who say happy holidays for saying happy holidays.
00:32:45.040
Happy holidays is a ridiculous expression this time of year.
00:33:00.760
First of all, there are like five Jews in the whole world and Hanukkah is not even a major Jewish holiday.
00:33:07.040
It's taken on some significance in America as a kind of Jewish alternative to Christmas.
00:33:22.080
Fewer people celebrate Kwanzaa than celebrate Hanukkah.
00:33:29.180
Kwanzaa was invented by a socialist lunatic who was in prison for torturing women in the 1960s.
00:34:09.000
They say, why do you care if we force men into the women's bathroom?
00:34:16.640
You're the ones who insisted that we change how the bathrooms work.
00:34:20.340
And you make it seem like I'm the one with the problem.
00:34:33.420
The only reason not to say Merry Christmas, the only reason to say happy holidays is if
00:34:39.360
you have some weird disdain, some bizarre bubbling contempt for Christmas, which probably
00:34:48.040
reflects a contempt for Christianity, which probably reflects a contempt for God.
00:34:55.360
Should I say happy holidays in, I don't know, February?
00:35:06.760
Passover is a way more serious holiday in Judaism than Hanukkah is.
00:35:14.800
And now even the first lady, the Democrat first lady is being forced to concede the war on Christmas.
00:35:32.840

00:37:12.600
I want there to be a motivational poster with my name on it.
00:37:17.980
Because it's not just, sometimes you'll hear people say, look,
00:37:20.240
you owe it to yourself not to be a creepy little goblin pervert, like a little weirdo.

For whatever it is you're doing, you owe it to yourself.
00:37:28.960
That is an obligation you have to society for the purpose of advancing the common good.
00:37:35.320
It's your patriotic duty not to be a creepy little goblin pervert, okay?
00:37:39.400
That's, the sooner we figure that out, the sooner our culture will improve.
00:37:45.280
Speaking of the Bidens, oh boy, this was a doozy.
00:37:49.000
Joe Biden yesterday showed up to the Willard Hotel in Washington, D.C.
00:37:53.840
I know this because I was at the Willard Hotel just before he showed up.
00:37:58.140
And I knew he was going to show up because the Secret Service locked down the whole block.
00:38:01.960
And it was very difficult to get in and out of the hotel.
00:38:05.220
And I almost had to drag all my suitcases and all my kids and my wife two blocks down.
00:38:09.080
Luckily, the Secret Service let the cars come in.
00:38:11.420
But I knew, okay, there's going to be some event here.
00:38:13.820
And this is going to be a presidential level event.
00:38:18.080
But I knew this is not some low-level cabinet official.
00:38:26.820
Never in a million years could I have guessed that the reason Joe Biden showed up to the Willard,
00:38:33.500
gave this nice big address for the Democrats' holiday reception.
00:38:40.820
No, the Democrats don't like Christmas because they don't like God.
00:38:48.440
I knew what I was doing to ask her to be my vice president.
00:38:54.920
She always served this country with purpose and integrity.
00:38:59.920
And you're not going anywhere, kid, because we're not going to let you go.
00:39:07.300
Here is the surface-level reading of this comment.
00:39:11.500
I picked Kamala Harris to be my VP because I trusted her.
00:39:21.320
I'm going to make sure you stay in politics, kid.
00:39:38.200
And she stabbed me in the back and threw me out of my own job and took my nomination from me after the primary process.
00:40:07.240
Some will say I'm reading too deeply into this.
00:40:17.880
And Joe Biden, he doesn't walk as well as he used to.
00:40:24.260
He doesn't even quite smile as well as he used to.
00:40:27.480
The last thing to go in Joe Biden before he croaks will be his political sense.
00:40:32.400
That guy has a political sense down to his bones.
00:40:35.320
He got himself elected to the U.S. Senate before he was old enough constitutionally to do so.
00:40:40.200
He has been in it for the vast majority of his life.
00:40:45.400
So you couple what he said at the Willard last night.
00:40:50.600
He put on a Trump hat on the campaign trail in Pennsylvania and smiled for the cameras.
00:40:57.020
It was just he offered a Kamala hat to a Trump supporter.
00:41:00.560
It was a funny show of reaching across the aisle.
00:41:05.420
If you believe that, I got a bridge of Brooklyn to sell you.
00:41:21.120
Jill Biden comes out with her husband on election day to go vote.
00:41:32.880
That would seem to signal by wearing the color of the Republican Party that maybe she actually supports the Republican in this race.
00:41:48.700
She gives a speech about the joy she feels this season.
00:41:52.900
She says, you know, this season, it's really important to focus on the joy that we're all feeling.
00:42:04.800
She's got all the subtlety of a vaudevillian or a Marx brother.
00:42:16.460
She even said, yeah, I chose that word intentionally.
00:42:21.940
Kid, you're not going anywhere because I'm not going to let you go anywhere.
00:42:25.800
You cannot convince me that the Bidens did not vote for Trump.
00:42:32.340
I would have said two months ago, the Bidens certainly don't support Kamala.
00:42:40.060
At this point, I am fairly convinced they voted for Donald Trump.
00:42:48.600
And in part, that's because Joe Biden won't let her.
00:42:51.640
Larger part is that she's not capable of going anywhere.
00:42:54.040
Speaking of presidential politics, Adam Schiff, the man President Trump refers to as pencil
00:43:03.620
He was a big part of the Trump impeachment back during the first term.
00:43:07.840
He was leading a lot of the hoaxes against Trump.
00:43:10.520
He has just come out on ABC News, which just paid Trump $15 million for lying about him.
00:43:18.760
But he needs to make sure he doesn't pardon the January 6th.
00:43:27.040
How about the question about the January 6th pardons?
00:43:32.900
First of all, that he could pardon people that beat police officers, gouge them, bear spray them.
00:43:38.740
But also, even beyond that, just the general message it would send, George, that his first
00:43:45.520
pardons are going to go to people who sought through the use of violence at the Capitol to
00:43:50.620
stop the peaceful transfer of power that played some role in that.
00:43:57.140
The American people, I think, voted for him in part because they wanted something done about
00:44:01.480
crime, not because they wanted to see him pardon criminals attacking the government.
00:44:11.220
Well, we're not talking about we're talking about grannies who took selfies in the rotunda.
00:44:15.860
We're not talking about your BLM activists or your Antifa activists who burned the country
00:44:20.260
down, who murdered dozens of people who looted, pillaged, burned.
00:44:24.940
We're not those guys are pretty hardcore criminals.
00:44:28.280
MS-13 and Trendy Aragwal, the criminals running across the border when you rolled out a red
00:44:36.140
We're talking about the January Sixthers who were a handful of eccentrics, who in many
00:44:46.360
Some cases they did nothing more than step foot in there, maybe take a picture or two and
00:44:53.180
And then were arrested a year later and imprisoned in solitary confinement in some cases.
00:44:59.980
They were unfairly, selectively prosecuted on extremely trumped up charges that you guys
00:45:07.140
wielded so that you could clamp down on the political order.
00:45:11.600
You tried to do the same thing to Trump himself.
00:45:15.720
For Adam Schiff's argument to make sense, Trump couldn't have won because by Adam Schiff
00:45:42.160
And 40% of women out of the age of 30 voted for him.
00:45:48.700
So yeah, I think they want him to pardon most of the January 6thers.
00:45:54.980
Now, I agree, maybe the January 6thers shouldn't be the very first pardon.
00:46:00.160
The very first pardon should be the pro-lifers who were arrested and imprisoned for peacefully
00:46:06.480
demonstrating against the wholesale slaughter of little babies.
00:46:11.320
If Trump's writing out the pardons, maybe 9 a.m., he pardons the pro-lifers.
00:46:17.100
And then 9.02 a.m., he pardons the January 6thers.
00:46:22.520
Joe Biden's pardoning a lot of people, hardcore criminals, like his son.
00:46:29.580
The Democrats are coming to grips with the fact that Trump won.
00:46:37.320
And they're at least admitting, look, it was such a landslide.
00:46:43.940
You can't even claim that it was undemocratic by using the silly measure of the popular vote
00:46:51.260
They have come to grips with the fact that Trump won.
00:46:54.880
They have not come to grips with the significance of Trump winning.
00:47:05.380
Trump ran on pardoning people like the January 6thers.
00:47:10.500
Trump ran on gutting the desiccated bureaucracy of the federal government.
00:47:21.260
But Democrats can't bring themselves to accept the significance of that election,
00:47:26.560
because it means that they would have to rip out the heart of their own party.
00:47:33.800
But if you are among the hoi polloi of the YouTube audience
00:47:38.620
or any of the other public audiences, you don't get it.
00:47:46.160
And you will get two months free on all annual plans.
00:48:08.740
You are of course on Tomorrowland has forgotten all annual plans.
00:48:24.700
You may receive a creative impression of this election.
00:48:26.520
It also says that date date date date date date date date date date date date date date date date date date date date date date date date.
