The Michael Knowles Show - Ep. 1638 - Another Christian School Attacked

00:00:00.000 Just when you think the liberal media cannot humiliate themselves any further, CNN accidentally frees a Syrian war criminal extortionist and torturer from prison and brags about it on TV.

00:00:13.980 I'm Michael Knowles. This is The Michael Knowles Show.

00:00:30.000 Welcome back to the show. Liberal Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Jackson has made her Broadway debut.

00:00:41.740 She's singing on stage on Broadway. We will get to that momentarily.

00:00:46.980 First, though, go to preborn.com slash Knowles.

00:00:51.220 The fight for life has never been more crucial than it is right now.

00:00:54.580 While the libs fight to expand abortion to make it easier to end innocent life, 0.85

00:00:58.600 preborn ministries is on the front lines fighting back, fighting for life, fighting for truth, fighting for the most vulnerable among us.

00:01:05.440 When a mother sees her baby's heartbeat, when she witnesses that undeniable proof of life, everything changes.

00:01:11.980 Preborn's clinics are strategically positioned in areas with the highest abortion rates,

00:01:16.100 offering free ultrasounds and welcoming these women with God's love.

00:01:19.420 The results speak for themselves. The majority of mothers choose life when they see their baby.

00:01:23.840 Would you join me in this crucial fight?

00:01:25.440 One ultrasound cost is just $28. $140 sponsors five ultrasounds.

00:01:30.400 You can save multiple lives with a single donation.

00:01:32.700 Now is that time. End of the year. I know you've been waiting until December.

00:01:37.360 Make your tax-deductible charitable donations.

00:01:40.020 Right now, you dial pound 250 on your cell phone. You say keyword baby.

00:01:43.340 That's pound 250, keyword baby, or you go to preborn.com slash Knowles.

00:01:46.220 I personally support this charity. I strongly recommend you give whatever you can.

00:01:50.980 All gifts are tax-deductible.

00:01:52.180 Preborn has a four-star charity rating. Preborn.com slash Knowles.

00:01:57.460 CNN has just done the most CNN thing I could possibly imagine. This is as CNN is concerned

00:02:03.740 about their ratings collapsing, mass layoffs. Not just CNN. MSNBC is on the chopping block.

00:02:10.160 New York Times and Washington Post both admitting that they're having their lunch eaten by

00:02:13.720 podcasts and new media. So CNN goes in, intrepid investigative reporters in Syria,

00:02:19.260 and they actually free a prisoner who was being held captive by the Bashar Assad regime,

00:02:27.820 which has just fallen. Here is the incredible clip from CNN.

00:02:32.460 The guard makes us turn the camera off while he shoots the lock off the cell door.

00:02:37.180 We go in to get a closer look. It's still not clear if there is something under the blanket.

00:02:48.120 Oh, it moved. Is there someone there?

00:02:53.640 Oh, he doesn't want to move. Is that a human?

00:02:57.740 Hands up.

00:02:58.460 I'm a civilian, he says. I'm a civilian.

00:03:06.160 It's okay. It's okay.

00:03:11.240 He tells the fighter he's from the city of Humps and has been in the cell for three months.

00:03:18.400 Okay.

00:03:19.460 Okay, you're okay.

00:03:21.160 You're okay. You're okay.

00:03:22.680 You're okay.

00:03:23.580 He clutches my arm tightly with both hands.

00:03:29.140 Okay.

00:03:30.500 Does anyone have any water?

00:03:32.520 I'm only laughing because I know how this story ends, guys. Don't, it's not, I don't mean to seem heartless.

00:03:37.640 Mike, Mike, Mike, Mike, Mike. Okay, it's water, it's water.

00:03:42.860 She's holding his hand. How sweet.

00:03:44.960 Okay.

00:03:46.040 Okay.

00:03:46.860 Okay, you're okay.

00:03:47.700 You're okay. You're okay, civilian who's been held captive for three months.

00:03:52.820 Except it turns out, like so much CNN reporting, none of that is true.

00:03:57.600 That man is not a civilian. He's not been held captive for three months.

00:04:02.580 That man is apparently one of the most notorious torturers from Bashar Assad's regime.

00:04:11.580 And he was imprisoned because of his particular cruelty.

00:04:17.200 This is according to reports that have since come out.

00:04:19.200 Even CNN has had to acknowledge this doesn't look really great.

00:04:22.760 This guy's real name is Salama Mohammed Salama, a first lieutenant in Syrian Air Force intelligence.

00:04:29.780 He has committed a slew of war crimes, allegedly.

00:04:33.140 Even CNN says to the Post,

00:04:34.400 So he was imprisoned, according to the subsequent reporting,

00:04:48.080 because he would shake people down.

00:04:50.420 And if the people didn't pay him money and didn't bribe him,

00:04:52.940 then he would torture them so brutally, so severely,

00:04:56.180 that he was ultimately put in prison until he was freed by CNN.

00:04:59.820 CNN, which believed his lies, bought it all, hook, line, and sinker,

00:05:04.060 and has freed an extremely dangerous psychopath.

00:05:08.220 Classic.

00:05:09.340 I think this would be exhibit Z.

00:05:13.600 This is exhibit number 7,258,

00:05:16.680 that maybe we shouldn't celebrate the fall of Bashar Assad.

00:05:19.820 I know Bashar Assad, he did lots of really tough things.

00:05:22.780 And I know he suppressed people's autonomy in Syria.

00:05:26.580 And I get all of it.

00:05:27.860 But compared to what is about to come in Syria,

00:05:34.180 compared to what's already shown up,

00:05:35.320 don't forget, the people who took control of Syria are lunatic Islamists. 0.93

00:05:39.980 Say what you will about Bashar Assad.

00:05:41.560 Say what you will about Hafez Assad, Bashar Assad's father.

00:05:45.200 The Assad family has ruled Syria for half a century.

00:05:48.140 They did a relatively decent job of protecting religious minorities

00:05:52.900 from the lunatic Islamist majority in that country.

00:05:57.040 And so now that they've fallen,

00:05:58.860 what are we going to expect in Syria?

00:06:01.660 I think you're going to expect a lot more of that guy.

00:06:03.380 A lot of, not just him,

00:06:05.160 because he obviously worked with the regime until he was imprisoned.

00:06:08.680 You're going to see a lot of lunatic ideologues.

00:06:11.660 The question you have to ask,

00:06:14.120 all the media reporting,

00:06:15.140 Bashar Assad held people in prison.

00:06:17.420 Now CNN is going and freeing the people from prison.

00:06:19.840 The question is not, did Bashar Assad put people in prison?

00:06:24.280 The question is, whom did he put in prison?

00:06:28.780 That's the question.

00:06:30.280 They do the same thing in America, the left.

00:06:33.180 The left says, we have so many people in prison.

00:06:36.880 The question to me is not, how many people do we have in prison?

00:06:39.060 The question is, who's in prison and what are they there for?

00:06:43.540 So if you've got political dissidents who have done nothing wrong,

00:06:47.240 but peacefully articulate their views,

00:06:48.880 which are moral and contrary to the regime.

00:06:50.960 Okay, yeah, I guess they should probably be let out of prison.

00:06:53.480 But if the people in prison are psychos and torturers and murderers,

00:06:57.200 or even in America, drug dealers,

00:07:00.400 there are all sorts of people committing all sorts of real crimes.

00:07:02.220 Yeah, they should probably be in prison.

00:07:04.720 How is this a good thing?

00:07:06.060 The moment that Assad fell in Syria, the media,

00:07:09.140 oh, this is so wonderful.

00:07:10.520 The people are free.

00:07:11.460 I don't want that guy to be free.

00:07:12.860 I don't want crazy torturers and psychos and Islamists out on the streets of the Middle East. 1.00

00:07:19.420 I don't want criminals out on the streets of America.

00:07:23.320 It reminds me of when the American left talks about how we have an over-incarceration problem.

00:07:28.040 I think, well, crime's going up.

00:07:29.280 So if anything, it seems to me we have an under-incarceration problem.

00:07:32.560 Or more precisely, perhaps we're just incarcerating the wrong people.

00:07:36.040 We're really good at locking up Midwestern grannies who take photos in the Capitol Rotunda on January 6th, 1.00

00:07:41.540 the worst day in the history of the world.

00:07:42.560 But we're not so good at locking up Mexican gangsters and Venezuelan gangsters 0.99

00:07:48.440 and murderers and looters and drug dealers and pimps.

00:07:52.840 Now, speaking of crime, a really horrific story yesterday came out of Madison, Wisconsin.

00:07:59.600 There was a school shooting there at Abundant Life Christian School.

00:08:04.360 Yet another Christian school being targeted in recent years.

00:08:07.560 There was that awful shooting at a Christian elementary school in Nashville.

00:08:13.580 So yesterday, a teenager opened fire at Abundant Life Christian School in Madison,

00:08:19.200 killed a teacher, killed another teenage student.

00:08:22.360 This is right before Christmas.

00:08:23.680 It's just too horrific almost to contemplate.

00:08:28.100 The shooter also wounded six other people.

00:08:30.260 Two of those people were, as of last night, in critical condition with life-threatening injuries.

00:08:35.140 So, you know, we hope that they'll make a recovery.

00:08:38.020 We just don't really know yet.

00:08:39.320 The other four people had non-life-threatening injuries.

00:08:41.880 Who is the shooter?

00:08:43.820 Well, the shooter's not talking because the shooter killed herself.

00:08:47.500 Madison Police Chief Sean Barnes said that the way the shooter died was most likely self-inflicted.

00:08:54.940 However, the establishment media and law enforcement are being pretty tight-lipped on what actually happened here.

00:09:02.060 And this is unsurprising.

00:09:04.180 Not only because the old establishment media tend to be slow, not only because law enforcement tends to be tight-lipped,

00:09:12.100 but also because of who this shooter is.

00:09:14.940 Had the shooter been a right-wing white teenage male, you would have known every single person about,

00:09:21.280 every single thing about this person's life within about five minutes of the shooting.

00:09:24.740 That is not what happened.

00:09:25.900 In this case, initially, the Associated Press reported that the shooter was a 17-year-old female student.

00:09:30.600 But as we know, the establishment media have lost a lot of credibility.

00:09:33.820 They're just not good.

00:09:34.520 People don't go to the news, go to the Associated Press for the news anymore.

00:09:39.140 The AP report was wrong.

00:09:41.460 Twitter X very clearly began to report that the shooter was a 15-year-old female student.

00:09:47.500 Andy Ngo in particular, a Twitter account, Pagliacci the Hated, who I believe is with Redux.

00:09:52.640 A number of other accounts, which are journalists, but they use Twitter and they're a little more independent.

00:09:59.700 They got the story, it would appear, much closer to the truth than the Associated Press or the establishment media.

00:10:08.020 And according to the most recent reports from the Daily Mail, there's a report out from lifenews.com,

00:10:14.260 this 15-year-old girl was a radical feminist. 0.69

00:10:18.760 So there were some reports initially that maybe it was a trans-identifying shooter.

00:10:22.820 Maybe it was really a boy who identified as a girl or whatever.

00:10:25.460 That seems not to be the case.

00:10:28.280 The best reporting we have right now says this was a 15-year-old girl.

00:10:32.200 She was not trans. 0.94

00:10:33.460 She was not LGBT, LMNOP. 0.91

00:10:35.460 She was a radical feminist, though, and was following radical feminist accounts.

00:10:42.120 And if the report's going around her to be believed, again, you've got to take everything right now with a little bit of a grain of salt

00:10:50.160 because it's happened so recently and the news is changing quickly.

00:10:54.380 But there's a little piece of a manifesto that the shooter appears to have left,

00:10:58.020 which talked about how women are the only hope for the world and patriarchy is evil 0.89

00:11:03.200 and the radical feminists are vindicated now and this girl hated her father and her parents and all sorts of feminism. 1.00

00:11:14.860 Terribly, terribly sad.

00:11:16.720 Especially right before Christmas, everyone should say a prayer or two for the victims.

00:11:22.940 Also, from a political standpoint, expect this story to disappear very quickly.

00:11:30.160 Very quickly.

00:11:30.940 None of this checks out for the liberal narrative that they want to push.

00:11:35.100 It's a girl, not a boy.

00:11:37.240 It's a feminist, not a misogynist. 0.74

00:11:41.440 It's a, even the gun, the gun was a 9mm pistol.

00:11:45.120 It was not an AR-15, it was not an AK-47.

00:11:48.800 So nothing about this story is helpful to the left.

00:11:52.940 The victims were at a Christian school.

00:11:55.320 That's not helpful.

00:11:56.520 Had it been a mosque, had it been a madrasa, even maybe a synagogue, it would be helpful to the,

00:12:03.280 certainly a public school would be very helpful to the left's narrative.

00:12:05.940 Christian school, girl shooter, 9mm pistol, radical feminist. 0.91

00:12:11.980 No, the media, they're not, they're not reporting on it well right now.

00:12:14.980 And I don't, I don't think you're going to hear much about it two days from now.

00:12:19.380 The Biden White House has already tried to seize on this story to advance its own largely disconnected

00:12:26.640 political agenda, but it looks ridiculous and the White House is not going to get very far.

00:12:31.560 The president made a statement and he said,

00:12:33.940 I created the first ever White House Office of Gun Violence Prevention, but more is needed.

00:12:38.280 Congress must pass common sense gun safety laws, universal background checks, a national red flag law, 0.81

00:12:43.740 a ban on assault weapons with high capacity magazines.

00:12:47.120 First of all, Biden says, I've done all this great stuff on gun violence prevention.

00:12:50.720 Apparently not, because it didn't work, because we're, there are still shootings that go on.

00:12:54.220 So anything Biden claims to have done, any competency he claims to have had

00:12:58.220 in preventing gun violence, obviously hasn't worked.

00:13:02.180 He's failed at that.

00:13:03.180 But then furthermore, he says, we need this new stuff.

00:13:06.440 Universal background checks, that would not have stopped the shooter.

00:13:08.940 The shooter reportedly got the gun from her father.

00:13:12.220 Universal background checks, there's no reason to believe the father

00:13:14.380 didn't have every right to purchase a gun, so that wouldn't have stopped it.

00:13:17.720 A national red flag law, again, it wasn't her personal firearm.

00:13:22.740 No evidence to suggest that that would have stopped the shooting.

00:13:25.180 A ban on assault weapons with high capacity magazines, that's the most ridiculous example.

00:13:29.940 This wasn't a so-called assault weapon.

00:13:31.740 There's really no such thing as an assault weapon.

00:13:34.160 Or rather, every weapon is an assault weapon.

00:13:36.700 That's the purpose of weapons, is to assault people.

00:13:39.740 So what they call an assault weapon, which is a term of propaganda that developed in the 1990s,

00:13:45.980 is a rifle that looks a little bit scary.

00:13:48.420 But it's just a rifle where you pull the trigger once and one round is released.

00:13:51.980 It's not a burst fire, it's not a fully automatic weapon, it's just a rifle.

00:13:57.760 And what they mean by high capacity magazine, what do they mean, 10 rounds?

00:14:01.460 Maybe they mean 20 rounds, 30 rounds, a zillion, 100 rounds.

00:14:05.140 There was no 100 round mag in this shooting.

00:14:08.200 None of that would have stopped the shooting.

00:14:10.660 It's all completely disconnected.

00:14:12.320 It would be as though Joe Biden came out and said,

00:14:15.340 hey, that's a terrible tragedy that happened,

00:14:17.220 and I'm going to capitalize on it to tell you why you need to pass a new carbon tax.

00:14:23.060 A new carbon tax would have exactly as much effect on this shooting

00:14:26.280 as any of the nonsense that he's promoting here.

00:14:30.540 So totally disconnected.

00:14:31.940 None of it would have worked.

00:14:33.760 The left has not one square foot to stand on in this.

00:14:38.360 So they're going to move on.

00:14:39.820 You're not going to read any more.

00:14:40.760 It's so horrific this time of year, so horrific for the families.

00:14:45.680 But it doesn't serve the left's purpose.

00:14:48.000 It's going to pass out of the news.

00:14:49.240 Speaking of law and order, Justice Ketanji Jackson,

00:14:53.800 the latest Democrat on the bench, has just made her Broadway musical debut.

00:14:59.660 Justice, take it away.

00:15:01.580 Female empowerment.

00:15:08.820 Sick.

00:15:09.260 Welcome to the first day of rehearsal.

00:15:12.560 Thank you.

00:15:13.500 I'm so excited to be here.

00:15:15.080 This has been a dream of mine.

00:15:34.180 I think that it means that anything is possible.

00:15:38.180 Tonight, we have a very special guest,

00:15:46.220 Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson!

00:15:52.480 There she is.

00:15:53.140 She looks out on stage in her costume.

00:15:54.640 I think what I like about it is that I am having a very strongly negative reaction to it.

00:15:59.700 Like I hate it.

00:16:00.640 Which makes me think, it must be brilliant.

00:16:05.840 Got this feeling in my body.

00:16:09.460 Can't stop the feeling.

00:16:10.780 Got this feeling in my body.

00:16:13.640 I can't stop the feeling.

00:16:15.020 Gonna see you with your body.

00:16:17.520 I did it.

00:16:19.820 I made it to Broadway.

00:16:21.820 I did it.

00:16:23.000 I did it.

00:16:23.400 This is so embarrassing.

00:16:24.980 This is so inappropriate.

00:16:26.720 This is so degrading for the United States.

00:16:29.020 And it's not that Ketanji Jackson enjoys theater or musicals or movies or show business.

00:16:37.000 That's not what's degrading.

00:16:38.600 That's actually commonplace.

00:16:40.460 Many, if not most, politicians, including Supreme Court justices,

00:16:45.520 have some interest in or connection to the theater.

00:16:50.760 But politicians broadly, Ronald Reagan, actor.

00:16:54.640 Al Franken, Democrat side, actor.

00:16:57.180 Donald Trump has at least been in a bunch of movies and TV shows.

00:17:00.080 There, the skills of the theater and the skills of politics are quite similar.

00:17:08.640 I myself, I was an actor.

00:17:10.140 There are plenty, plenty of people in show business have been,

00:17:13.340 actors have been interested in theater and film and TV.

00:17:17.940 Justice Antonin Scalia adored opera.

00:17:21.180 He was a huge fan of opera.

00:17:22.500 Ruth Bader Ginsburg loved opera.

00:17:24.060 In fact, there was an opera written about Scalia and Ruth Bader Ginsburg.

00:17:28.360 And they went to see that opera.

00:17:30.880 I don't think that Scalia sang any arias as a tenor, though.

00:17:35.980 He certainly wasn't in any Broadway musicals.

00:17:38.040 Why?

00:17:40.700 It's perfectly ordinary for politicians to have some kind of interest in the theater.

00:17:45.000 The skills are so similar.

00:17:46.540 But when you become a politician, when you become a statesman,

00:17:49.820 certainly when you become a judge, you need to be sober.

00:17:54.020 You need to be judicious.

00:17:56.000 You need to be serious.

00:17:57.500 Most important of all, you are supposed to be unimpressed by crowds.

00:18:03.580 The most disturbing part of that video for me is how much Ketanji Jackson loves the applause of the crowd.

00:18:10.380 Maybe she should have ran for Congress if that was the case. 1.00

00:18:14.800 But judges, in particular, are supposed to be unimpressed by the crowd.

00:18:20.140 They are not seeking votes.

00:18:22.440 They are not seeking popularity.

00:18:24.080 They're not supposed to be.

00:18:25.100 They are supposed to be implementing the law.

00:18:28.120 They are supposed to be interpreting the law.

00:18:29.860 They are supposed to be interpreting the Constitution.

00:18:31.580 They are supposed to be standing against the crowd much of the time.

00:18:38.540 That's not what she's doing.

00:18:40.220 The activist judges, which tend to be on the left, they are impressed by the crowds.

00:18:46.220 They do want to rile up the mob. 0.95

00:18:48.800 And the leftist politicians want that kind of pressure on the court. 0.93

00:18:52.700 You remember when Chuck Schumer came out?

00:18:53.580 He said, listen, Justice Kavanaugh, listen, Justice Gorsuch, you have reaped the whirlwind.

00:18:59.500 You're about to see.

00:19:00.520 You're not going to know what's coming.

00:19:02.160 And then what happens?

00:19:03.360 Leftist tries to murder Brett Kavanaugh.

00:19:05.460 Justice Alito has to move out of his house because the Supreme Court decision in Dobbs over ruling Roe v. Wade was leaked.

00:19:11.720 All of this political force.

00:19:14.240 And what does Ketanji Jackson do?

00:19:16.060 She decides she's going to go become a Broadway star.

00:19:18.300 And she's going to go say all of these lines in an unconvincing way that are really highly polemical, highly party political.

00:19:27.920 It's just so degraded.

00:19:30.260 But I do understand it.

00:19:32.160 I understand it even at a deeper level than politicians and statesmen often have a connection to the theater.

00:19:38.560 The deeper level is today show business is considered more desirable than serving in the government.

00:19:46.260 That was not always the case.

00:19:48.300 It used to be, in the old days, that actors, singers, dancers, they were considered kind of the lowest of the low.

00:19:56.600 They were lumped in with criminals and prostitutes and statesmen. 0.94

00:20:00.860 Those were very serious people.

00:20:02.820 Today, I think that's basically flipped.

00:20:04.860 It used to be, if you wanted to have real influence and prestige in society, in public life, why you would vie to have some public office.

00:20:13.440 Today, however, even the people who are already in public office want to be in show business.

00:20:19.740 They feel they can have more influence in show business.

00:20:21.680 Think about how many elected politicians have podcasts at this point.

00:20:26.780 You know, Senator Cruz and I launched a podcast together.

00:20:29.240 I think it was basically the first of its kind.

00:20:31.560 And it was this unique opportunity during the impeachment when we could break through the establishment media and Senator Cruz could walk from the Capitol.

00:20:40.320 We'd go into a studio at 1 o'clock in the morning and explain to the American people what's going on.

00:20:45.120 That was a highly targeted, innovative thing.

00:20:47.380 But when that show hit number one, just about every politician in the country decided he was going to have a podcast.

00:20:52.860 Sometimes people leave Congress and they get a promotion.

00:20:56.100 And their promotion is to have a cable news talk show or to have a podcast or to have a radio show.

00:21:00.820 As the government, as the political order has become impotent, as legislators lose their power, they lose their power to bureaucrats, they lose their power to private corporations that exert a lot of control over public life.

00:21:18.040 You think of the big tech companies that control the public square.

00:21:20.120 As that all happens, power actually starts to move into the media, into show business, into Hollywood, or into whichever entity in show business comes next.

00:21:34.180 That's a fact.

00:21:35.160 Ketanji Jackson is revealing that a little bit.

00:21:37.800 And it's probably not good for our country, but it is what it is.

00:21:40.960 There's so much more to say.

00:21:41.840 First, though, go to puretalk.com slash Knowles.

00:21:45.200 They say free, don't they?

00:22:55.600 My last speech of the semester was at the University of Iowa, which is much more left-wing than I expected.

00:23:00.780 And so people protest and they yell and they make stupid comments.

00:23:04.120 But sometimes, after the speech, Mr. Davies will go out, he'll brave the mobs, and he'll find one or two people who are protesting me, who hate me, who showed up to pull their hair out of my speech, but who are willing to speak.

00:23:19.220 Sometimes I've changed their minds.

00:23:20.800 Often I've not changed their minds.

00:23:22.740 That recently happened.

00:23:24.280 Here is just a little teaser of my conversation with two campus leftists at Iowa.

00:23:28.500 If I told you I am a black man like Congolese, heart-of-darkness black, would you believe me? 1.00

00:23:37.640 Uh, you could be, I guess.

00:23:40.120 We want transliberation!

00:23:44.160 F*** you, you f***ing fascists!

00:23:46.160 The liberals are a lot louder than the Republicans are.

00:23:49.020 It was only after the speech ended, while conservative students were being berated outside, that two students agreed to cross the line, come back in, and talk to me face-to-face.

00:24:06.160 Go watch the full episode right now on the Michael Knowles YouTube channel.

00:24:11.040 Speaking of governments losing credibility, Mr. Justin Trudeau, according to his birth certificate, the son of Pierre Trudeau, according to Twitter, the son of Fidel Castro, certainly has the politics of Fidel Castro.

00:24:25.220 Trudeau, the liberal leader of Canada, might go down up there in America's evil top hat, and he might go down because of Trump.

00:24:34.400 According to reporting, it was just breaking last night, this is happening in real time, probably while we're speaking, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's government has been thrown into disarray because Chrystia Freeland, his finance minister, has resigned.

00:24:52.100 She's resigned in large part because of President Trump's tariff threat.

00:24:58.800 Then, yesterday, Canada's three opposition party leaders said Trudeau's got to go.

00:25:04.640 Notably, Pierre Poilievre, the leader of the Conservative Party, great Conservative politician, up in Canada, called for a federal election as soon as possible.

00:25:15.420 Why does this matter?

00:25:16.900 Why do I care about America's evil top hat?

00:25:19.080 Because it shows that Trump's tariffs work, at least as a matter of tactics.

00:25:25.820 I've said, as Trump has been pushing tariffs, I've said there are two arguments for tariffs.

00:25:29.900 One is the policy argument.

00:25:34.140 One is the actual revenue-raising argument, that tariffs can help raise revenue, and it'll be good for the economy, and it'll stimulate American manufacturing, and it'll help national security.

00:25:43.420 And sure, okay, put that to the side for a second.

00:25:45.660 The other reason that I think even more people can agree tariffs work is they can be a tactic.

00:25:50.460 They can be a tactic to get what you want on the world stage.

00:25:53.800 They can be a negotiating tactic.

00:25:56.140 They can be a tactic of grand strategy to actually replace leaders you don't like.

00:26:00.940 That's what's happened here.

00:26:02.680 Trump says, hey, Trudeau, I'm going to smack a 25% tariff on you, and your country is going to collapse.

00:26:08.860 And why am I going to do that?

00:26:10.200 Because I'm sick of trying to work with you, and because you're not doing what I want you to do.

00:26:15.260 So good luck.

00:26:17.720 And then Trudeau, he hops on that private jet.

00:26:20.340 He flies down to Mar-a-Lago as fast as he can.

00:26:22.700 He begs, he pleads.

00:26:23.540 He says, please, Mr. Trump, don't smack a 25% tariff on me.

00:26:27.340 He says, I don't know, maybe I will, maybe I won't.

00:26:28.780 But just the threat, just Trump's little truth social post about 25% tariffs might have just caused the Canadian government to collapse.

00:26:43.140 That is the power of the American presidency.

00:26:46.060 That is the power of focused negotiation that we see from President Trump.

00:26:53.040 And that's the power of tariffs, at least the threat of tariffs.

00:26:55.820 Pretty good stuff.

00:26:56.360 I think Trump totally vindicated on pushing the tariffs.

00:27:00.480 Now, speaking of liberal politicians who have been ousted because of Trump, Bob Casey, the Pennsylvania senator, former, soon to be former Pennsylvania senator, who went down, lost to Dave McCormick, didn't want to concede the race.

00:27:15.860 He was an election truther.

00:27:17.400 He held out until the very end, but then eventually it was pretty clear McCormick won.

00:27:20.780 He was asked, why is it that McCormick was able to win?

00:27:27.500 And he said, it wasn't McCormick, it was Trump.

00:27:30.380 He said, I think it's probably premature to make an assessment as to whether we're going in one direction decidedly or the other.

00:27:37.340 But I will say there were factors in this election that won't be a play or won't be relevant in 2028.

00:27:42.740 One of them is Donald Trump will not be a candidate for president.

00:27:46.760 I think he's about as strong a Republican candidate as they've had for president in my lifetime.

00:27:53.460 I think that's true.

00:27:54.520 I think that is pretty clearly true.

00:27:58.000 And all I want is for the anti-Trump Republicans to admit it.

00:28:04.140 That's all I want.

00:28:05.980 And you don't need to grovel.

00:28:07.560 You don't need to flagellate yourselves.

00:28:08.820 You just need to admit it.

00:28:10.000 And we all need to be able to move on from that.

00:28:11.620 There are still people, a dwindling number, but still some people, who insist that nominating President Trump in 2016 was a really terrible idea and it was going to cause the end of the Republican Party and we were never going to win an election again and it was going to be so humiliating and he was the worst candidate ever.

00:28:27.680 And that just obviously wasn't true.

00:28:30.420 He beat Hillary Clinton.

00:28:32.540 He won in a pretty decisive electoral college victory in 2016.

00:28:36.920 Then in 2020, the Democrats changed all the rules and all of the new rules advantaged them.

00:28:43.320 In some cases, they were illegal or unconstitutional and they seemed a little bit sus.

00:28:48.540 So then the anti-Trump Republicans said, see, ha ha, we were right.

00:28:52.740 But then we didn't even fix all the voting rules again in 2024.

00:28:56.380 We just restored a little bit of normality to it.

00:28:59.120 And Trump won in a massive electoral college victory in a landslide.

00:29:04.400 And he won the popular vote as a Republican for the first time in 20 years.

00:29:09.580 So can we just all admit, Trump's a good candidate.

00:29:13.760 I can't believe I'm saying Bob Casey's right.

00:29:15.460 I think Bob Casey is right.

00:29:18.280 In 2000, George W. Bush was a weak candidate.

00:29:22.160 Well, let's go back even further.

00:29:23.640 Ronald Reagan, 1980, was a good candidate.

00:29:27.880 Let's go back even before that.

00:29:29.160 Jerry Ford was a weak candidate.

00:29:31.140 Nixon was a good candidate.

00:29:32.700 Nixon won the presidency.

00:29:35.060 He then won in a massive landslide for re-election.

00:29:38.640 Then the deep state pulled a coup on him and tossed him out because of how some guy duct-taped

00:29:43.600 the door or something.

00:29:44.800 And then Jerry Ford was a weak candidate.

00:29:46.980 Ronald Reagan was a strong candidate.

00:29:48.840 Ronald Reagan, 84, was an even stronger candidate.

00:29:51.120 Reagan, 84, won 49 states.

00:29:53.340 Then what did we get?

00:29:55.420 George H.W. Bush really just won Reagan's third term.

00:29:59.140 When he had to run on his own two feet, he lost.

00:30:01.940 George H.W. Bush was a weak Republican candidate.

00:30:04.060 Bob Dole, weak Republican candidate.

00:30:06.580 George W. Bush in 2000, weak Republican candidate who barely won.

00:30:10.300 He only won because of 500 votes in the state of Florida.

00:30:14.880 Those happy hanging chads in the punch card ballots.

00:30:19.680 Bush, 04, pretty strong candidate.

00:30:22.860 Won the popular vote.

00:30:25.020 John McCain, weak candidate.

00:30:26.940 Mitt Romney, weak candidate.

00:30:28.420 Then you get to Trump, very strong candidate.

00:30:33.020 So all the people who were forcing John McCain on us, who were forcing Mitt Romney on us, who

00:30:38.240 insist that we need to supposedly moderate.

00:30:41.820 I don't think they're moderating.

00:30:43.820 I don't think they're moderates in the sense of moderation as a virtue, as a mean between

00:30:48.760 two extremes.

00:30:50.800 I think they're just kind of, those are the weaker candidates.

00:30:53.200 Trump leaning into a little bit of populism.

00:30:56.440 Trump being a little bit funny.

00:30:58.660 Trump upending the recent GOP orthodoxies on free trade and just giving globalist corporations

00:31:05.920 whatever they want.

00:31:06.920 Trump, with a little backbone, a little thumos, he was a strong candidate.

00:31:12.080 And if Republicans want to win elections in the future, we need to model our candidacies

00:31:17.480 after Donald Trump, not after Mitt Romney.

00:31:20.680 There are many anti-Trump Republicans, even today, who believe that we just need to get

00:31:25.480 back of being the party that talks like Mitt Romney.

00:31:29.100 You should not draw that lesson.

00:31:32.620 That think, oh, that Trump, he got lucky a couple times, and oh, that Trump.

00:31:36.020 No.

00:31:37.300 Trump is a really, really good candidate.

00:31:39.560 And there's really no copying Trump.

00:31:41.040 He's an American original.

00:31:42.260 But we need to learn some lessons from Trump.

00:31:45.480 Bob Casey's right.

00:31:46.660 He is as strong a Republican candidate as they've had in even Bob Casey's lifetime.

00:31:51.340 He's a little bit up there.

00:31:53.760 Up there with Ronald Reagan.

00:31:55.900 And you can't even really compare the two because Reagan was elected before all the mass

00:32:00.500 migration, which the Democrats even admit is aiming at demographic shifts to give them

00:32:04.340 a permanent electoral majority.

00:32:05.440 Ronald Reagan was able to really unify the country before a decades-long process of trying

00:32:11.720 to permanently disrupt the potential for unity in the country.

00:32:15.540 And even so, Trump wins 46% of Hispanics, one in five black guys, shocking win for a Republican

00:32:21.460 in recent decades.

00:32:22.280 I'm not saying you copy everything Trump does.

00:32:25.960 It's not possible to do, and it's not even advisable.

00:32:29.820 But we want more Donald Trumps and fewer Mitt Romneys. 0.66

00:32:34.080 Democrats, of course, are still furious at Trump.

00:32:37.580 The Chicago mayor, Brandon Johnson, is whining about President Trump's evil plans.

00:32:44.060 Let's start here.

00:32:44.720 Your reaction to Homan saying he's going to come after you if you stand in his way.

00:32:51.740 Look, the president-elect and the former president of the United States of America,

00:32:56.040 Trump, has demonstrated an incredible disdain for people.

00:32:59.940 He's also shown a great deal of just evilness towards the Department of the Environment.

00:33:07.600 He doesn't believe in science.

00:33:09.100 20% of the world's fresh water is right here in the city of Chicago.

00:33:12.960 We can build a green, blue economy to create real, sustainable opportunities for people.

00:33:20.060 And so he has not just shown animus towards immigrants.

00:33:23.820 He has shown a great deal of animus towards working people across the city of Chicago.

00:33:28.080 And it is my responsibility and it is my joy to protect all residents of this beloved city.

00:33:34.620 Evilness.

00:33:35.360 Just the word to start out with.

00:33:37.000 Evil is a noun.

00:33:38.260 You can just say a great deal of evil.

00:33:39.640 Evil or maybe you could say wickedness or evilness is par for the course for the mayor of Chicago.

00:33:47.280 You know, we talked about how these days being a Broadway dancer carries more prestige and gravity than being an American politician or even a Supreme Court justice.

00:33:57.240 I guess that's true because most actors and Broadway performers can use the English language correctly.

00:34:05.840 So evilness already, big red flag.

00:34:08.820 But he's accusing Trump of evil actions.

00:34:11.560 And what are the evil actions that he says?

00:34:13.940 He's been evil toward people broadly.

00:34:16.480 He's been evil toward the Department of the Environment.

00:34:20.180 I think he means the EPA.

00:34:21.220 He doesn't believe in science.

00:34:25.460 He, what is it?

00:34:27.540 He hates immigrants.

00:34:29.160 He said he's shown animus.

00:34:30.180 He's shown a hatred toward immigrants.

00:34:33.020 Hatred toward working people. 0.83

00:34:36.600 What's awkward about this claim from the mayor of Chicago is,

00:34:41.260 had Trump won, but not won the popular vote,

00:34:46.620 he'd be saying, look, most Americans are still good people.

00:34:49.820 But that minority who voted for Trump, they're evil people.

00:34:53.860 But now, just because of this fact that Trump won the popular vote,

00:34:57.560 not that it matters for the election, that's not how our elections are conducted,

00:35:00.860 but he also won the popular vote in addition to the Electoral College.

00:35:04.040 The mayor of Chicago, and I think he's typical of a lot of Democrats,

00:35:07.700 he's saying the American people are evil.

00:35:12.020 Most Americans are evil.

00:35:14.000 Most Americans don't believe in science,

00:35:16.140 which is a way of saying most Americans are idiots.

00:35:18.960 Most Americans hate immigrants.

00:35:22.080 Most Americans are hateful.

00:35:24.060 They're not charitable people.

00:35:25.360 It's the most charitable country in the history of the world.

00:35:27.080 We're not charitable people.

00:35:28.020 We're hateful.

00:35:29.220 Most Americans hate working Americans.

00:35:31.620 I think most Americans are working Americans.

00:35:35.240 It doesn't make sense.

00:35:38.260 It doesn't make sense.

00:35:39.460 And if the Democrats want to campaign on this, please be my guest.

00:35:42.480 But their campaign then is, hey, hey, most of you people who I want to vote for me,

00:35:46.860 most of you are dumb, stupid, evil, hateful idiots. 0.95

00:35:52.720 Democrats, 2026.

00:35:54.660 Vote Democrat, 2028.

00:35:56.240 Okay, great.

00:35:57.120 I totally endorse that campaign.

00:35:59.340 Please let me know where I can donate to that particular strategy.

00:36:54.020 My favorite comment yesterday is from MarcusW210.

00:36:57.760 Hearing Michael call Sidney Sweeney a pretty lass was so unexpected to me that I accidentally

00:37:02.660 spilled my drink of Jolly Rancher-flavored soda.

00:37:05.520 I'm sorry to have made you do that.

00:37:08.520 I also really love any time that I can take a kind of stupid story and use it as a flimsy

00:37:17.580 excuse to discuss my philosophical hobby horses.

00:37:20.260 I would say that's my favorite kind of story to do.

00:37:24.480 And the Sidney Sweeney hot or not debate very much checks that box.

00:37:28.800 So thank you all.

00:37:29.860 Thank you, Sidney Sweeney, for allowing me to discuss Jean Baudrillard's theory of seduction.

00:37:35.280 Speaking of Democrats shooting themselves in the foot, David Hogg.

00:37:39.780 You remember David Hogg?

00:37:40.540 He's a guy who gained some modicum of celebrity by making himself a TV fixture after some of

00:37:51.240 his classmates were killed in a school shooting.

00:37:53.700 David Hogg then turned this into a political career as being a gun control activist.

00:37:59.940 Then he got into Harvard purely on his leftist celebrity.

00:38:04.600 He does not appear to have quite academically qualified for that admission.

00:38:08.620 But these days it's Harvard.

00:38:10.320 So what does a Harvard diploma mean?

00:38:12.360 And now he wants to parlay all of that into a real career in politics by running for vice

00:38:18.440 chairman of the Democrat National Committee.

00:38:22.640 I floated this story a week or two ago when Hogg was suggesting that maybe he wanted a leadership

00:38:28.400 role among the Democrats.

00:38:30.880 At that point, I endorsed him for that role.

00:38:35.040 I asked where I could donate.

00:38:37.040 I asked if there were any federal maximum donations that I had to be concerned about because how

00:38:41.600 great would it be to max out to David?

00:38:43.480 Well, now he is outlining a little bit of his campaign for this job.

00:38:47.540 He said, today I'm meeting with a group of researchers and activists to discuss how Democrats

00:38:52.360 win back young men.

00:38:55.120 What questions would you be most interested in asking?

00:39:00.220 Hogg has so few original ideas that he has to ask you what he should ask activists.

00:39:05.620 What he should ask researchers so that he can then get some answers and campaign on those

00:39:11.540 answers.

00:39:12.640 But I love that he's the guy who's doing it.

00:39:16.980 I would say if Democrats have a problem with young men, and you said, Michael, lay out every

00:39:24.680 single person in the country in order of most likely to help to least likely to help, David

00:39:32.520 Hogg would be in the bottom 5% among the very least likely people to help in the country.

00:39:39.080 Democrats lost support this election cycle, specifically among black and Hispanic men because

00:39:45.260 the black and Hispanic men shifted to the right because the Democrats seemed too far to the left.

00:39:50.680 Donald Trump appealed to the black and Hispanic men, and so they shifted to the right.

00:39:55.480 And so if you're facing this catastrophic problem as a Democrat, why not hire a whiny, 1.00

00:40:03.460 rich, leftist white kid?

00:40:04.800 Who better?

00:40:05.620 Who better to win back the rightward-leaning black and Hispanic men than a whiny, 1.00

00:40:12.020 radical, leftist, rich white kid from Florida?

00:40:15.300 Of course, why wouldn't you?

00:40:19.740 So I fully endorse.

00:40:21.460 In fact, I endorse again.

00:40:23.480 I previously endorsed the prospect of David Hogg running.

00:40:26.700 I now fully endorse his candidacy.

00:40:29.360 Please let me know where to send the check.

00:40:32.200 Let's do matching donations.

00:40:33.560 I don't know how much I'll match up to, but let's just marshal all of our resources, folks.

00:40:39.500 I want David Hogg to run the Democratic Party.

00:40:42.080 Now, in fairness to David Hogg, other Democrats, even prominent older Democrats,

00:40:48.540 don't have any better ideas.

00:40:50.060 Tim Walz just gave this interview in which he was reflecting on his totally failed candidacy.

00:40:57.300 He was very nearly a heartbeat away from becoming the second woman president, and he flopped.

00:41:03.440 He was totally rejected by the voters.

00:41:05.920 What he can't make sense of is how he lost to a billionaire.

00:41:12.080 I thought it was a real flex when the Wall Street Journal pointed out that I might have

00:41:16.600 been the least wealthy person to ever run for vice president.

00:41:19.640 And I thought that would be something people say, well, this guy knows where we're coming

00:41:22.540 from.

00:41:22.820 He's had to pay his bills.

00:41:23.900 He had to do and still does.

00:41:25.660 How in the world did we lose to a billionaire or a venture capitalist when we were making

00:41:32.260 the case of a county attorney and a high school teacher?

00:41:35.600 I think the biggest thing for me that I'm searching for is, and this is the one that

00:41:39.380 keeps me up at night, is I focused my whole career in focusing on the middle class.

00:41:44.120 And it seemed like a lot of the good ideas were coming from the Democrats.

00:41:47.780 I still believe that, but apparently in this election, not the majority of Americans did.

00:41:54.340 They chose to vote with a billionaire who's talked about not paying overtime, who has a long

00:41:58.660 history of not paying his workers, someone who wants to take away the ACA.

00:42:03.880 I can explain it.

00:42:06.440 I actually think that Tim Walls is being sincere here.

00:42:09.960 He's pounding his head against the wall.

00:42:11.520 He can't figure out why voters would vote for a billionaire when he ran his campaign as

00:42:18.060 a working class hero against the billionaires, against the rich, trying to stoke class resentment.

00:42:23.900 How is it that these people, virtually none of whom are billionaires, how did they vote for

00:42:28.580 the billionaire?

00:42:29.260 The billionaire is the enemy.

00:42:30.080 The answer is, most voters are not as driven by envy as the Democrats think they are.

00:42:41.320 Democrats think that what motivates voters ultimately is envy.

00:42:48.900 And there's some basis for this.

00:42:50.260 You see this in a lot of political philosophy, certainly modern political philosophy.

00:42:55.100 I was actually having this conversation in Washington, D.C. with a White House reporter

00:42:58.180 the other night, who said, you know, all politics comes down to covetousness.

00:43:01.380 And I said, that's actually a sparkling insight.

00:43:04.640 And at certain eras, that's true in certain periods.

00:43:07.700 Envy, at the very least, is a big motivator in politics.

00:43:11.240 Dante talks about this avarice as being at the heart of political corruption.

00:43:17.280 But Tim Walls has too low an opinion of voters.

00:43:20.460 That's ultimately why they lost.

00:43:21.720 There are many other reasons.

00:43:23.700 But on this question, why did the voters vote for the billionaire over the politician who

00:43:28.300 says he's a working class hero?

00:43:29.500 It's because voters are not as motivated by envy as the Democrats are, or as the Democrats

00:43:37.420 think that they are.

00:43:39.160 That's it.

00:43:39.800 That speaks very well of the American people.

00:43:42.460 Envy is awful.

00:43:43.400 Envy ruins everything.

00:43:45.180 Envy really is at the heart of political corruption.

00:43:47.800 And Americans are not totally consumed by it.

00:43:52.320 The left wants them to be.

00:43:53.420 The left is always trying to gin up class conflict and make politics a matter of private

00:43:59.340 interests, just clubbing other people on the head and stealing their stuff.

00:44:02.900 You think about the BLM riots, which the Democrats largely supported.

00:44:06.080 Kamala Harris actually bailed the rioters out of jail.

00:44:10.420 Joe Biden's staffers did the same thing.

00:44:12.960 Well, what was that about?

00:44:14.740 A lot of those BLM riots was people just going in and looting stores. 0.68

00:44:17.540 It's just stealing stuff, just greed, just envy.

00:44:21.740 Okay, yeah, a lot of Democrats are motivated by that.

00:44:24.760 Most Americans are not.

00:44:27.000 Now, the proof that a lot of Democrats are motivated by envy and play on envy in politics

00:44:34.400 is coming from not only Senator Elizabeth Warren, Liawatha, but also Bernie Sanders.

00:44:40.620 Elizabeth Warren just got in trouble because she was asked about the UnitedHealthcare CEO

00:44:44.840 being murdered, and she seemed to excuse it.

00:44:48.520 She said, you know, you can only push people so far.

00:44:51.160 Then they start murdering the CEOs.

00:44:53.340 Elizabeth Warren has tried to portray herself as a working class hero throughout her career. 0.73

00:44:56.680 So an out-and-out socialist in the Senate, Bernie Sanders, was just asked about Elizabeth Warren's answer.

00:45:05.060 Here's what he had to say.

00:45:06.500 Violence is never the answer.

00:45:07.920 This guy gets a trial who's allegedly killed the CEO of UnitedHealth.

00:45:12.660 But you can only push people so far.

00:45:15.820 And then they start to take matters into their own hands.

00:45:19.480 Elizabeth Warren obviously understands killing and murder and shooting somebody in the back 1.00

00:45:25.460 is totally unacceptable.

00:45:27.040 But what I think has happened in the last few months is that what you have seen rising up is people's anger

00:45:37.800 at a health insurance industry which denies people the health care that they desperately need

00:45:45.680 while they make billions and billions of dollars in profit.

00:45:49.380 Now listen here.

00:45:51.180 Obviously, obviously, Elizabeth Warren does not support violence. 0.91

00:45:55.960 We never seek to justify the murder of a CEO of a health care company.

00:46:01.360 But I think we also have to agree that people were damn right to hate that health care CEO

00:46:06.540 and he had it coming, the dirty rotten bastard. 0.94

00:46:08.500 That's what he said.

00:46:09.020 That's basically what he's saying.

00:46:10.660 Could you imagine?

00:46:11.060 I was talking the other day to sweet little Alisa.

00:46:15.060 Imagine you are this poor man's family.

00:46:17.860 And your father's murder, your husband or your father's murder,

00:46:23.020 has been a national news story, an international news story.

00:46:26.400 And you have prominent Democrats justifying it, excusing it, explaining it away.

00:46:32.660 Yeah, people are going to get angry.

00:46:34.220 Yeah, people, you can only push them so far.

00:46:37.140 Eventually, if you're too rich and other people are too poor,

00:46:41.180 they're going to come take all your stuff. 0.64

00:46:43.140 That's what we're going to.

00:46:43.880 We're going to encourage them to take all your stuff.

00:46:45.780 Because we're going to run whole campaigns just grounded in envy.

00:46:49.200 Totally disreputable.

00:46:50.940 No wonder even the Supreme Court justices want to be Broadway stars.

00:46:55.260 It's somehow become a much more dignified way of life.

00:46:58.600 That's not speaking highly of show business.

00:47:01.460 That's speaking in a realistic way about the degradation of politics.

00:47:07.080 Now, today is Tee Hee Hee Tuesday.
