00:00:37.700 A French court has just barred the country's leading right-wing politician, Marine Le Pen, from running for office.
00:00:44.080 The court sentenced her to four years in prison as well.
00:00:46.960 The French ruling comes just months after Romania's constitutional court overturned the results of that nation's presidential election,
00:00:53.900 which also coincidentally was won by the right-wing candidate.
00:00:57.060 And both rulings, of course, come shortly after Democrats in the U.S. tried but happily failed
00:01:02.860 to preempt our nation's leading right-winger from winning his second term by kicking him off the ballot,
00:01:09.140 as well as by trying to imprison him four different ways, as well as by nearly blowing his head off.
00:01:15.240 Now, this is not how democracies are supposed to operate.
00:01:19.960 In democracies, the people are supposed to be able to elect the candidates they want.
00:01:24.840 In practice, however, many nations of the West are allowed to elect whomever they please,
00:01:30.940 except for the candidates that liberal elites don't like,
00:01:34.680 which tells us a lot about the actual regimes that rule us.
00:01:38.460 Because, and I'm not the first to observe it,
00:01:41.920 sovereign is he who decides the exception.
00:01:45.440 I'm Michael Knowles. This is The Michael Knowles Show.
00:02:05.960 Welcome back to the show.
00:02:07.440 So, Kanye West has just conducted an interview in a full Ku Klux Klan outfit.
00:02:13.960 Though the Ku Klux Klan outfit is not white, it's black, but he's got the pointy hat on.
00:02:19.360 And anyway, we'll get to that in a moment.

00:03:48.600 Before we get to Kanye West's neo-Nazism,
00:03:51.460 I want to talk about another Nazi. 0.94
00:03:53.320 That would be the Nazi jurist Carl Schmitt,
00:03:56.160 who is a political philosopher.
00:03:58.260 And just because he's a Nazi doesn't mean he never got anything correct.
00:04:03.020 You know, it's sort of like Hitler drank water too, okay? 0.67
00:04:05.380 It's not...
00:04:06.220 Heidegger was rehabilitated, wasn't he?
00:04:08.100 So, anyway, Schmitt was this political philosopher
00:04:10.800 who had the misfortune of being associated with the Nazis.
00:04:13.460 So, you know, that's a bad mark on your resume.
00:04:16.840 However, he came to some serious philosophical conclusions.
00:04:21.820 He's probably most famous for the friend-enemy distinction,
00:04:25.360 which he says the politics all basically comes down to friend and enemy.
00:04:29.240 And another one of his famous observations is that
00:04:32.300 the sovereign is he who decides the exception.
00:04:36.140 And this is obviously true here.
00:04:37.620 It's true not just in Nazi Germany.
00:04:41.060 It's true not just in fascist Italy.
00:04:44.320 It's true in modern France and modern Romania and America 0.84
00:04:48.160 and pretty much any society.
00:04:51.840 The sovereign is the one who decides the exception.
00:04:54.840 The people will elect the candidate that the people want.
00:04:58.260 Well, except for Donald Trump,
00:04:59.620 except for Marine Le Pen,
00:05:00.900 except for Georgescu in Romania.
00:05:04.060 And why?
00:05:04.840 Well, okay, what does France say?
00:05:06.500 This judge,
00:05:07.240 Bénédicte de Pertuis,
00:05:10.140 my friend is a little weak.
00:05:11.720 Oh, oh, oh.
00:05:13.300 He has ruled that Marine Le Pen
00:05:15.120 and some other members of her party
00:05:16.960 committed embezzlement.
00:05:19.360 They weren't just making administrative errors,
00:05:21.680 but they embezzled some money.
00:05:23.440 Like every other French politician, I guess.
00:05:25.400 I don't know.
00:05:25.880 I don't know the merit of the charges.
00:05:27.640 Maybe they did.
00:05:28.220 Maybe they didn't.
00:05:29.960 One thing I can promise you is
00:05:31.560 Marine Le Pen is not being imprisoned
00:05:33.520 and barred from running for president
00:05:34.840 because she embezzled some money. 1.00
00:05:37.620 She is being barred from doing those things
00:05:39.760 because she keeps getting closer and closer
00:05:41.440 to actually winning elections
00:05:42.620 and the elites in France won't let her do that. 0.99
00:05:45.700 Same thing in Romania.
00:05:46.920 In Romania,
00:05:48.220 Colin Georgescu,
00:05:50.000 the right-wing candidate,
00:05:51.180 won the presidential election
00:05:52.700 and the Constitutional Court of Romania
00:05:54.900 annulled that election in early December.
00:05:57.820 They annulled it because they said
00:05:59.700 that this party took money from the Russians
00:06:02.440 or they broke some rule or some law.
00:06:04.920 So anyway, they're going to overturn the results.
00:06:06.460 But they didn't really overturn the results
00:06:08.320 because the party took money
00:06:10.960 or did not take money from some group
00:06:12.480 or because the party violated some regulation or other.
00:06:17.120 They annulled it because they didn't like the candidate
00:06:19.120 and they didn't want Georgescu,
00:06:20.560 the right-winger, to take over in Romania.
00:06:22.780 Same thing with Trump.
00:06:23.500 Now, do you really think that President Trump,
00:06:28.540 that, well, happily,
00:06:30.380 Trump actually beat the liberals
00:06:31.600 who were trying to do this to him.
00:06:32.740 But do you really think that the liberals
00:06:33.980 were trying to take Trump off the ballot
00:06:35.400 or else imprison Trump,
00:06:37.240 convict him on at least one of four counts
00:06:39.440 because they don't like
00:06:43.280 that he maybe slept with a porn star?
00:06:44.940 Remember, that was one of the charges.
00:06:46.020 He slept with a porn star and covered it up.
00:06:49.460 I don't think so.
00:06:50.180 I don't think the party of Bill Clinton
00:06:51.420 or really any, I mean,
00:06:52.380 they're all sex freaks in Washington, D.C.,
00:06:55.020 and especially the Democrats.
00:06:56.460 I don't think it had anything to do with a sex scandal.
00:06:58.720 Is it because Trump was holding classified documents
00:07:03.520 in an unsecured location?
00:07:05.360 I don't think so.
00:07:05.920 Biden was holding, I think, more documents
00:07:07.880 in a much less secure location
00:07:09.320 in a place that his crackhead son had access to,
00:07:12.320 his crackhead son who was peddling American influence
00:07:15.260 overseas to the highest bidder.
00:07:16.680 No, it wasn't that.
00:07:19.080 It's because they didn't want Trump to win.
00:07:22.380 And so all of the attempts to take him off the ballot
00:07:25.540 or the attempts to imprison him,
00:07:27.440 all of those were just procedures
00:07:30.480 that were serving a predetermined conclusion,
00:07:35.180 namely that Trump could not be the president.
00:07:37.200 Because certainly in many countries in the West
00:07:41.020 and in our own country until recently,
00:07:43.920 the sovereign was the liberal elite,
00:07:46.420 which is why the transfer of power to Trump
00:07:49.800 has been violent.
00:07:51.200 It's why, you didn't really see it
00:07:53.000 on the establishment media,
00:07:54.200 but it's why when Trump was elected in 2016,
00:07:56.060 the liberals were setting cars on fire in Washington, D.C.
00:07:59.640 It's why agencies of the state were being turned
00:08:02.900 to subvert that election
00:08:04.320 and then to overturn it when he actually won in 2016.
00:08:08.740 It's why the Libs changed all the election rules in 2020
00:08:11.400 to stop Trump from winning a second term.
00:08:14.560 It's why they justified his assassination in 2024,
00:08:18.260 because that's an actual change in regime.
00:08:23.020 So we're seeing this throughout the West.
00:08:25.040 This is a seismic political shift,
00:08:27.080 not just in one office or one party
00:08:30.960 taking over for another party.
00:08:32.100 It's a shift in the way that our political order operates.
00:08:35.640 It's, and it's why the agents of the state
00:08:38.320 are doing their best to suppress what the people want.
00:08:40.740 You're seeing this in the UK right now too, by the way.
00:08:43.080 The United Kingdom, I teased this on the show yesterday,
00:08:45.100 we didn't have time to get to it.
00:08:46.180 The United Kingdom, in the courts,
00:08:49.060 notice how the courts seem to be playing a huge role in this
00:08:52.480 because the people don't like these kinds
00:08:55.100 of far liberal policies.
00:08:56.920 So the courts have to step in
00:08:58.100 to undermine what the people want.
00:08:59.320 The courts have decided that white men 0.96
00:09:01.320 need to serve longer and harsher prison sentences
00:09:03.880 than any other group of people
00:09:06.020 for committing the same crimes.
00:09:08.880 That's it.
00:09:10.020 Sometimes when you read these stories,
00:09:11.720 it sounds like we're being hyperbolic
00:09:13.180 or partisan and polemical.
00:09:14.740 No, that's just what's happening.
00:09:17.260 Even the liberal politicians in the UK
00:09:19.260 are admitting that this is completely insane.
00:09:21.940 Of course, because they don't want to stand election
00:09:23.600 defending, sentencing white men
00:09:26.240 to harsher prison sentences
00:09:27.340 on the basis of their sex and their race.
00:09:29.420 But this is supposed to come into effect today
00:09:33.160 and magistrates and judges,
00:09:36.020 according to this ruling,
00:09:37.780 would have to consult a pre-sentence report
00:09:40.360 determining whether to imprison someone
00:09:42.780 of an ethnic or religious minority.
00:09:46.180 All sorts of people.
00:09:47.560 So Keir Starmer, this awful lib prime minister,
00:09:50.060 he said he's prepared to fight the courts on this
00:09:52.780 to stop the introduction
00:09:53.980 of a two-tier system of justice.
00:09:55.840 He said all options are on the table
00:09:58.140 to stop it from being implemented.
00:09:59.740 But what I have to ask the liberal politicians is,
00:10:02.640 why?
00:10:03.660 Isn't this the logical conclusion of DEI?
00:10:09.120 If you say that the goal of the state
00:10:11.460 is diversity and equity,
00:10:14.140 some type of equality of outcome,
00:10:16.320 and inclusion,
00:10:18.480 then don't you need to have
00:10:19.600 a two-tier system of justice?
00:10:21.720 You're saying that people are not beginning
00:10:23.900 from the same starting place.
00:10:25.240 So the only way to institute justice
00:10:30.000 is to treat people differently,
00:10:32.320 according to the metrics that you deem important.
00:10:34.780 DEI deems race very important.
00:10:37.340 It deems sex important when it's convenient, 0.95
00:10:39.200 and it denies sexual reality
00:10:40.500 when it's convenient alternately.
00:10:42.720 But what it comes down to,
00:10:43.900 if we're talking about friend and enemy
00:10:45.100 of the political left,
00:10:46.540 comes down to punishing white people 0.80
00:10:48.160 to give an advantage to non-white people,
00:10:50.740 and punishing men to give an advantage to women 0.99
00:10:53.280 and people who don't know what sex they are.
00:10:56.540 And it's just a basic principle.
00:10:59.420 If DEI says that you are going to
00:11:02.240 artificially elevate certain favored groups,
00:11:05.960 then the only way you can do that
00:11:07.800 is by artificially suppressing other groups.
00:11:12.880 What else are you going to do?
00:11:13.940 If you say,
00:11:16.060 we need,
00:11:17.100 through some artificial process
00:11:19.100 that we've come up with,
00:11:20.320 to forget about prison sentences
00:11:22.140 and just look at affirmative action.
00:11:23.540 If you say,
00:11:24.140 we need more black people
00:11:26.220 or Hispanic people
00:11:27.380 in the universities.
00:11:29.120 Right now,
00:11:29.520 we have too many white people 1.00
00:11:30.840 and Asian people in the universities.
00:11:32.420 Then that means,
00:11:33.140 in order to achieve your DEI goal,
00:11:35.020 you're going to have to take
00:11:35.980 those university spots
00:11:36.980 away from white people 0.98
00:11:38.160 and away from Asian people. 1.00
00:11:40.300 You're just going to have to suppress them.
00:11:41.820 So, yeah,
00:11:44.840 why wouldn't that apply
00:11:45.600 to prison sentences too?
00:11:48.440 I agree with the libs
00:11:50.960 who are recognizing
00:11:52.020 that this is really wicked
00:11:53.140 and bad
00:11:54.000 and not preferable
00:11:55.100 and they don't want it.
00:11:56.100 They're going to vote against it
00:11:56.820 at the ballot box.
00:11:58.240 But my question to them is,
00:11:59.720 where have you been
00:12:00.580 for the last 20 years,
00:12:01.880 the last 50 years?
00:12:03.760 Where have you been?
00:12:06.900 It hadn't occurred to them.
00:12:08.080 Kind of like how trans sports 0.80
00:12:10.180 was what finally opened
00:12:12.040 people's eyes
00:12:12.740 to the preposterous nature
00:12:15.320 of the sexual revolution.
00:12:17.460 They said,
00:12:17.700 oh, okay, this is great.
00:12:18.520 And my question on the trans sports
00:12:19.680 is, oh, where have you been?
00:12:21.520 We've had gender dysphoria
00:12:22.680 since feminism. 0.99
00:12:23.940 You know, feminism, 1.00
00:12:24.540 which says that women 1.00
00:12:25.460 should just be men. 0.99
00:12:27.580 Then they redefine marriage.
00:12:29.080 They have all the weird
00:12:29.780 pride stuff in the streets.
00:12:31.600 They, but,
00:12:32.500 so, okay, all right.
00:12:33.280 It took Husky Hank
00:12:34.260 giving some girl a concussion 0.72
00:12:35.960 in a volleyball game
00:12:37.280 to wake you up.
00:12:38.300 Okay, well, I guess the same
00:12:39.580 is true of DEI here.
00:12:40.680 It takes a two-tier system
00:12:42.080 of justice that sentences
00:12:43.540 white men to longer 0.59
00:12:45.100 and harsher prison sentences
00:12:46.120 for you to realize
00:12:47.080 that DEI is bad news.
00:12:48.720 Okay, great.
00:12:49.380 So now the people
00:12:49.980 are against that.
00:12:50.840 But you think that
00:12:51.600 the liberal elite
00:12:52.500 are just going to give up
00:12:53.220 political power?
00:12:54.720 I don't think so.
00:12:55.440 If you believe that,
00:12:57.320 you are really
00:12:58.140 politically naive.
00:12:59.040 I've got a bridge
00:12:59.700 in the United Kingdom
00:13:01.360 to sell you.
00:13:02.020 I've got a bridge
00:13:02.480 in London to sell you, okay?
00:13:05.100 They're going to hold on.
00:13:06.340 So what you can expect
00:13:07.520 as this shift takes place
00:13:08.580 is more elections overturned,
00:13:10.880 more conservative politicians
00:13:12.260 being imprisoned.
00:13:13.500 You can expect
00:13:14.180 more political violence,
00:13:15.220 the likes of which we saw
00:13:16.100 with the left
00:13:16.700 attacking the right
00:13:17.800 when Trump won
00:13:18.760 in 2016.
00:13:21.140 They ain't giving up
00:13:21.700 without a fight.
00:13:22.660 There's so much more
00:13:23.280 to say first, though.

00:13:26.600 Balance of Nature,
00:13:27.160 fruits and veggies,
00:13:27.900 is the most convenient way
00:13:29.040 to get whole fruits
00:13:29.580 and vegetables daily,
00:13:31.180 especially if you're focused
00:13:32.240 on creating a healthier,
00:13:33.180 happier lifestyle.
00:13:34.360 Nature is pretty good
00:13:35.260 at giving us
00:13:35.700 the nutrients we need
00:13:36.620 through our fruits
00:13:37.080 and vegetables.
00:13:38.140 So balanceofnature
00:13:39.020 takes fruits and veggies,
00:13:40.220 freeze-dries them,
00:13:40.920 turns them into a powder,
00:13:41.980 puts them into a capsule.
00:13:43.120 You take your fruit
00:13:43.740 and veggie capsules every day,
00:13:45.380 your body knows
00:13:46.120 what to do with them.
00:13:47.440 Balanceofnature
00:13:48.000 is just one ingredient
00:13:48.940 of a balanced lifestyle
00:13:50.040 and has no intention
00:13:51.180 to replace a healthy diet,
00:13:52.520 exercise, sleep,
00:13:53.260 or any other healthy habits.
00:13:54.780 It's intended to be used
00:13:55.780 in concert
00:13:56.420 with other healthy habits.
00:13:58.020 I love balanceofnature.
00:13:59.620 I know that my team
00:14:01.360 loves balance of nature.
00:14:03.340 Some of them
00:14:04.060 have a relatively healthy lifestyle.
00:14:05.680 Some of them, like me,
00:14:06.380 are a little bit less healthy
00:14:07.260 in other areas.
00:14:07.800 So all the more reason
00:14:08.660 to look for balance of nature,
00:14:10.540 go to balanceofnature.com,

00:14:27.400 I also really want to tell you,
00:14:29.020 as I fumble with my beautiful
00:14:30.300 Mayflower Triple Flame lighter,
00:14:32.340 about my Smells and Bells candle.
00:14:34.480 Because Matt,
00:14:35.960 greedy Mr. Walsh,
00:14:37.420 is upset
00:14:38.740 that I'm selling
00:14:40.460 a zillion candles a day.
00:14:42.720 So he's trying to beat
00:14:44.140 the Smells and Bells candle
00:14:45.440 at thecandleclub.com
00:14:46.560 slash Michael.
00:14:47.520 He has his own can,
00:14:49.180 and it's apparently named
00:14:50.620 after his goat or something.
00:14:52.960 So I'm offering you
00:14:53.920 the opportunity
00:14:54.420 to make your home
00:14:55.380 smell like a 12th century
00:14:56.760 monastery.
00:14:57.800 Walsh is giving you
00:14:58.640 the opportunity
00:14:59.200 to make your home
00:15:00.020 smell like his goat.
00:15:02.180 I don't think he's going
00:15:03.240 to win the competition.
00:15:06.300 Speaking of racial
00:15:07.280 identity politics,
00:15:09.180 Kanye West
00:15:09.760 is doing Nazi stuff again. 0.54
00:15:13.180 There's a lot of Nazi stuff
00:15:15.140 in the show today,
00:15:15.880 isn't there?
00:15:16.280 Well, anyway,
00:15:17.360 Kanye West is doing
00:15:18.320 Nazi stuff,
00:15:19.160 neo-Nazi stuff,
00:15:19.960 I guess.
00:15:20.240 He's wearing a
00:15:20.940 Ku Klux Klan outfit,
00:15:22.560 but it's not a white one.
00:15:24.300 It's a black one. 1.00
00:15:26.660 Now, there have been
00:15:27.420 this kind of outfit,
00:15:32.060 the Ku Klux Klan outfit.
00:15:33.500 It didn't begin with
00:15:34.180 the Ku Klux Klan.
00:15:35.160 Okay, you'll still see
00:15:36.340 religious groups in Spain
00:15:38.040 wearing this outfit.
00:15:38.920 It's kind of a medieval outfit,
00:15:40.220 the conical shape,
00:15:41.180 but I don't think that Kanye West
00:15:43.260 is doing his best impression
00:15:44.720 of a medieval Spanish
00:15:46.780 religious order here.
00:15:47.860 I think he's,
00:15:48.820 given his recent statements,
00:15:51.060 and by recent,
00:15:52.140 I mean his consistent statements
00:15:53.460 of the last five years or so,
00:15:54.780 I think he's doing this
00:15:56.580 to be provocative
00:15:57.220 and to look like a neo-Nazi.
00:15:59.020 The funniest part of it,
00:16:00.120 though, is,
00:16:00.820 while wearing the
00:16:01.780 Ku Klux Klan outfit,
00:16:03.480 he's doing an interview
00:16:04.140 with DJ Academics,
00:16:05.720 and he just talks about
00:16:06.640 totally mundane
00:16:07.700 pop music stuff.
00:16:09.580 What is the real thing
00:16:11.480 with you and Drake?
00:16:12.280 I've always been confused.
00:16:13.500 It feels like,
00:16:14.100 I can't tell if it's
00:16:14.700 a love-hate thing.
00:16:15.580 I've watched
00:16:20.460 hundreds of hours
00:16:22.040 of you talking about
00:16:23.620 just interviews.
00:16:24.460 Yeah, my first question,
00:16:25.380 what's up with the beef
00:16:26.460 with Drake?
00:16:26.840 It felt like the energy shifted,
00:16:27.780 and then we just started
00:16:28.560 seeing it everywhere.
00:16:29.580 I can't tell.
00:16:30.840 What is it?
00:16:33.560 Yeah, it's like family members
00:16:34.980 that you don't fuck with. 0.98
00:16:36.020 Like, I appreciate.
00:16:37.460 One thing is,
00:16:38.580 Drake is a million times
00:16:40.080 better than Kendrick,
00:16:41.040 and a million times
00:16:41.780 more important.
00:16:42.900 You know what I'm saying?
00:16:43.440 What Future has done,
00:16:44.580 Thug,
00:16:44.940 where Drake just culturally
00:16:46.660 is,
00:16:48.340 that shit last year, 0.63
00:16:49.680 I couldn't,
00:16:50.020 I couldn't even barely
00:16:50.740 sit through that shit.
00:16:51.660 That shit was insane, bro.
00:16:52.820 That shit was,
00:16:53.500 had Lucy and Grange,
00:16:54.920 Universal,
00:16:56.220 Drake lawsuit,
00:16:57.360 written all over it.
00:16:58.980 There's shit,
00:16:59.680 the I,
00:17:00.180 at the end of the day,
00:17:01.600 all this shit I'm saying,
00:17:03.020 Jim Jones,
00:17:03.600 Kendrick,
00:17:03.980 all these celebrities,
00:17:05.360 the funny thing is,
00:17:06.320 we're all in the same boat.
00:17:08.760 Yeah, so,
00:17:10.280 that's the first question
00:17:11.360 that came to mind.
00:17:12.120 Yeah, Kanye,
00:17:13.960 man,
00:17:14.340 looking at you,
00:17:15.040 he is DJ Academics here,
00:17:16.960 and my first question,
00:17:18.920 you know,
00:17:19.140 I'm looking at you here,
00:17:19.860 the first question is,
00:17:21.120 what's your favorite
00:17:21.940 Kendrick song?
00:17:23.340 You know?
00:17:24.780 Like,
00:17:25.400 what's the deal
00:17:26.340 with Justin Bieber,
00:17:27.220 you know?
00:17:27.760 I don't know,
00:17:28.300 that wouldn't be the first question
00:17:29.260 to come to my mind.
00:17:31.080 But,
00:17:31.760 it is kind of funny.
00:17:33.460 It's funny, man,
00:17:34.400 you know,
00:17:34.660 and it got attention,
00:17:35.720 and it's doing exactly
00:17:36.980 what Kanye West
00:17:38.200 wants it to do.
00:17:40.200 The problem,
00:17:41.380 however,
00:17:41.720 is that there's really
00:17:43.160 nowhere left
00:17:44.120 for this narrative to go.
00:17:45.960 Because,
00:17:46.540 as I've observed
00:17:47.340 for quite some time now,
00:17:49.980 Kanye West's
00:17:51.100 Nazi turn, 0.87
00:17:52.340 you know,
00:17:52.560 the swastika necklaces,
00:17:54.460 and going on
00:17:55.180 Alex Jones
00:17:56.380 and saying,
00:17:57.020 I love Hitler, 1.00
00:17:58.000 and, you know,
00:17:58.740 I love everyone,
00:17:59.440 but especially Hitler, 0.71
00:18:00.320 whatever it was
00:18:01.100 that he said,
00:18:02.540 was the
00:18:03.740 most provocative thing
00:18:05.820 that it is possible
00:18:06.740 to say
00:18:07.300 in our
00:18:08.300 modern culture.
00:18:09.480 Because all cultures
00:18:10.620 have a mythos
00:18:11.400 to them,
00:18:12.240 and
00:18:12.500 mythology
00:18:13.740 can be grounded
00:18:14.980 in reality,
00:18:16.180 or history,
00:18:17.060 rather,
00:18:17.420 you know,
00:18:17.600 hard facts
00:18:18.280 that actually happened
00:18:18.860 in time and space.
00:18:19.940 History can be grounded
00:18:21.080 in stories
00:18:22.340 of an ancient
00:18:23.480 bygone time.
00:18:24.480 It doesn't really matter.
00:18:26.700 There are myths
00:18:27.620 that are true,
00:18:28.740 there are myths
00:18:29.400 that are,
00:18:30.340 you know,
00:18:30.680 did not historically
00:18:31.680 take place,
00:18:32.340 but they get to
00:18:33.020 certain truths
00:18:33.520 about human nature.
00:18:34.640 But it doesn't
00:18:35.200 really matter.
00:18:35.920 In our culture,
00:18:37.080 in the post-war order,
00:18:38.460 there's a reason
00:18:38.960 we call our political
00:18:39.680 order the post-World War
00:18:41.100 II political order,
00:18:42.560 the mythos
00:18:45.140 that has defined it
00:18:46.220 is Hitler. 0.86
00:18:49.260 And so,
00:18:49.540 because it's liberalism,
00:18:50.500 because it has to
00:18:50.920 invert Christianity,
00:18:52.240 there's no incarnation
00:18:53.060 of absolute good,
00:18:54.040 with evil being
00:18:54.640 the privation of the good,
00:18:55.460 but it's the opposite.
00:18:56.160 There's the incarnation
00:18:56.660 of absolute evil,
00:18:57.420 which is Hitler,
00:18:58.300 and there are just
00:18:58.900 varying degrees
00:18:59.920 of privations
00:19:00.680 of evil
00:19:02.260 the further away
00:19:03.240 you get from being
00:19:03.940 a Nazi, 0.58
00:19:04.500 which is why
00:19:05.060 Nazi is the worst
00:19:06.080 thing you can be called.
00:19:07.260 The right calls
00:19:08.020 the left Nazis,
00:19:08.940 the left calls
00:19:09.440 the right Nazis, 0.93
00:19:10.660 whenever anyone
00:19:11.600 disagrees with anyone
00:19:12.540 about any matter,
00:19:13.420 including whether
00:19:14.020 you want milk
00:19:14.580 in your tea,
00:19:15.300 that you call
00:19:15.700 your opponent a Nazi. 0.72
00:19:17.660 So,
00:19:18.440 when Kanye
00:19:19.240 comes out,
00:19:20.880 what was that,
00:19:21.240 a year or two years ago?
00:19:22.400 He comes out
00:19:22.960 and he says,
00:19:23.460 I love Hitler, 1.00
00:19:24.520 and he goes,
00:19:25.080 full Nazi. 0.58
00:19:26.260 There is a reason
00:19:27.320 that he's still
00:19:28.160 doing the Nazi stuff 0.83
00:19:29.200 today,
00:19:29.820 and the reason is
00:19:30.820 there's nowhere else
00:19:32.880 to go in that narrative.
00:19:34.200 Once you say,
00:19:34.840 I love absolute evil,
00:19:35.860 there's nothing
00:19:36.340 more shocking to say.
00:19:38.560 You can kind of
00:19:39.300 edge up to,
00:19:40.380 I'm just trying to think
00:19:41.120 in right-wing politics,
00:19:42.300 maybe you say,
00:19:43.740 you know,
00:19:44.280 I don't think we should
00:19:45.220 trans the kids,
00:19:46.580 okay?
00:19:46.940 All right,
00:19:47.400 how do we be
00:19:47.920 more provocative?
00:19:48.680 I don't think
00:19:49.240 we should trans anybody,
00:19:50.640 how do we be
00:19:51.040 more provocative?
00:19:51.920 I don't think
00:19:52.680 we should celebrate pride,
00:19:55.400 how do we be
00:19:55.780 more provocative?
00:19:56.420 I don't think
00:19:57.080 that two fellas 1.00
00:19:57.620 can get married,
00:19:58.380 how can we be
00:19:59.000 more provocative?
00:19:59.840 I don't think
00:20:00.760 women can be 1.00
00:20:02.200 like men, 0.84
00:20:02.860 you know,
00:20:03.220 in feminism, 1.00
00:20:04.020 and how do you,
00:20:04.540 there are ways
00:20:05.940 to say things
00:20:07.280 that are more provocative.
00:20:08.580 Now,
00:20:08.780 all the things
00:20:09.320 I've just said
00:20:09.780 are true also,
00:20:10.960 but they are
00:20:13.440 increasingly offensive
00:20:15.140 to the modern sensibility,
00:20:17.280 the liberal ideology,
00:20:18.500 but there is simply
00:20:20.620 nothing more offensive
00:20:21.520 in our mythos
00:20:22.960 than I love Hitler 0.98
00:20:24.120 and I'm a Nazi
00:20:24.780 and I'm going to wear
00:20:25.580 Ku Klux Klan robes.
00:20:27.720 So,
00:20:28.000 what happens now?
00:20:30.060 There will have to be
00:20:31.220 some new mythos.
00:20:33.300 There's got to be
00:20:33.780 some new narrative.
00:20:35.720 You know,
00:20:35.880 even the hatred of Jews,
00:20:39.280 which has cropped up
00:20:40.220 on the far left
00:20:41.020 and on the far right
00:20:41.960 as well,
00:20:43.180 even that is going
00:20:44.840 to get tedious
00:20:45.420 after a while.
00:20:46.220 It's really shocking
00:20:46.900 and provocative
00:20:47.540 in the same way
00:20:48.460 that Kanye is saying
00:20:49.080 I love Hitler is. 0.99
00:20:50.460 But that will become
00:20:51.520 mundane as well.
00:20:52.660 That will just hit a wall 0.72
00:20:53.840 because there's nowhere
00:20:54.320 else to go.
00:20:56.080 Mr. Davies pointed out
00:20:57.240 to me yesterday,
00:20:57.860 he said,
00:20:58.600 this,
00:20:59.400 you know,
00:20:59.940 rising hatred
00:21:01.320 of the Jews,
00:21:02.640 it's kind of like,
00:21:03.720 it's kind of like
00:21:04.800 the new climate change,
00:21:06.200 you know,
00:21:07.240 which I guess makes sense
00:21:08.480 because they control
00:21:09.020 the weather,
00:21:09.420 of course.
00:21:09.960 But,
00:21:10.220 you know,
00:21:10.720 for a long time,
00:21:12.480 the left
00:21:13.040 and the squishes
00:21:13.720 on the right,
00:21:14.300 they would just
00:21:14.720 blame everything
00:21:15.260 on climate change.
00:21:17.180 You know,
00:21:17.560 rising prices,
00:21:19.300 mass migration,
00:21:21.120 everything,
00:21:21.720 it's just climate change.
00:21:23.560 Power outages,
00:21:24.800 wildfires,
00:21:25.980 burning down
00:21:26.440 their mismanaged cities,
00:21:27.320 it's all just climate change,
00:21:28.500 you know,
00:21:28.780 and so,
00:21:29.500 I guess the Jews 0.91
00:21:31.000 are kind of
00:21:31.420 the new climate change,
00:21:32.700 but really,
00:21:34.000 if you want to get down
00:21:35.360 to the ultimate
00:21:35.820 cause of our problems,
00:21:37.600 it's the personality
00:21:39.740 of evil
00:21:40.440 combined with
00:21:41.420 the human concupiscence
00:21:43.480 and original sin
00:21:44.360 that permits us
00:21:46.240 and inclines us
00:21:47.020 to cooperate with evil.
00:21:48.760 That's really what it does.
00:21:49.860 It's not quite as sexy.
00:21:52.100 So,
00:21:52.660 it's actually the sun monster
00:21:53.920 or it's this group
00:21:54.740 or it's that
00:21:55.100 or whatever,
00:21:55.440 it's racism
00:21:55.960 or sexism
00:21:56.660 or whatever,
00:21:57.220 but that's actually
00:21:57.980 what it is.
00:21:58.900 And so,
00:21:59.580 there will be
00:22:00.320 some new narrative
00:22:01.040 to emerge,
00:22:01.580 but until then,
00:22:03.100 this is Kanye's act.
00:22:04.620 Until there is
00:22:06.420 a pivot
00:22:07.460 in the self-understanding
00:22:09.400 of our polity.
00:22:11.200 I don't know
00:22:11.980 what's left to do.
00:22:13.820 It's just going to be
00:22:14.420 different iterations
00:22:17.080 of neo-Nazism.
00:22:18.320 Okay.
00:22:18.640 But now,
00:22:19.040 speaking of fascism,
00:22:21.140 on the left,
00:22:22.960 the libs are running
00:22:24.180 the same tune as well
00:22:25.240 and this has affected
00:22:26.900 even Yale University.
00:22:28.040 Where I am traveling
00:22:29.180 today,
00:22:30.300 if you happen to be
00:22:31.480 in New Haven
00:22:31.940 or around New Haven
00:22:33.220 or even if you're
00:22:34.120 in New York,
00:22:34.680 take that
00:22:35.080 Metro North train up
00:22:36.600 because I'm going to be
00:22:38.000 speaking at Yale
00:22:39.240 this evening.
00:22:40.580 My alma mater,
00:22:42.040 they've somehow
00:22:42.500 permitted me to return.
00:22:43.880 I'll be speaking
00:22:44.420 in the main lecture hall
00:22:45.480 there and I'll be
00:22:47.100 speaking there.
00:22:47.840 I will enter Yale
00:22:48.880 as a Yale professor
00:22:50.080 flees to Canada
00:22:52.160 because of fascism
00:22:54.580 in America.
00:22:55.740 There's so much more
00:22:56.320 to say.
00:22:56.600 First though,
00:22:57.260 go to rabbitair.com.
00:22:58.920 I love my rabbit air.
00:23:01.080 I've had a rabbit air
00:23:02.060 purifier in my office
00:23:03.760 for maybe years
00:23:04.980 at this point,
00:23:05.620 running almost 24-7.
00:23:06.820 I love it generally
00:23:08.220 because I live in Nashville
00:23:09.080 which is the allergen
00:23:11.200 capital of Earth
00:23:12.220 but I also love it
00:23:13.820 because you know
00:23:14.400 I like a cigar on occasion
00:23:15.960 and rabbit air is perfect.
00:23:17.880 If you want to have
00:23:18.360 those nice cigars indoors
00:23:19.580 but you don't want
00:23:20.480 your wife to complain 0.97
00:23:21.180 about it,
00:23:21.820 you need the rabbit air
00:23:23.140 A3 purifier.
00:23:25.500 Extremely impressive.
00:23:26.420 They've won awards
00:23:27.040 for their design
00:23:27.720 that uses six stages
00:23:28.700 of filtration
00:23:29.180 to clean your air.
00:23:30.320 It doesn't just catch
00:23:31.020 particles floating around,
00:23:32.420 it actually removes odors
00:23:33.540 and pollutants too
00:23:34.420 very quickly
00:23:35.000 so your home feels fresh.
00:23:37.240 The A3 purifier
00:23:38.080 is a game changer
00:23:38.960 with its dual hive
00:23:39.700 activated carbon filter
00:23:40.660 that boosts efficiency
00:23:41.580 by an impressive 26%.
00:23:43.560 Unlike the old 0.82
00:23:44.420 single layer design,
00:23:45.400 this one features
00:23:45.940 two offset layers
00:23:46.820 of optimized carbon pellets.
00:23:49.040 What does that mean for you?
00:23:49.940 More carbon surface area,
00:23:51.220 better air contact,
00:23:52.260 much stronger
00:23:52.820 odor removal capabilities.
00:23:54.220 I just love it.
00:23:55.080 If you're a cigar enthusiast
00:23:56.440 like me
00:23:56.920 looking for a next level
00:23:58.360 air purification,
00:23:59.600 this is the one to check out.
00:24:00.700 Also,
00:24:01.020 if you just talk
00:24:01.680 to the serious cigar guys,
00:24:02.660 this is the one
00:24:03.760 that they use.
00:24:04.640 Okay?
00:24:05.240 It's designed in LA,
00:24:06.040 comes with a comprehensive
00:24:06.760 five-year warranty
00:24:07.640 for peace of mind.

00:24:14.720 The Daily News,
00:24:17.100 this is a play on words,
00:24:18.380 it's N-O-U-S, 1.00
00:24:20.240 which is a Greek word
00:24:21.480 and a philosophical term
00:24:22.720 for intellect,
00:24:23.920 the intellectual part
00:24:24.700 of the spirit.
00:24:26.040 The Daily News
00:24:27.260 is reporting
00:24:28.120 in an email
00:24:30.160 this professor,
00:24:33.660 Jason Stanley,
00:24:35.060 is quitting Yale.
00:24:37.040 He writes,
00:24:37.940 quote,
00:24:38.340 the decision was entirely
00:24:39.480 because of the political climate
00:24:40.920 in the United States.
00:24:42.720 Stanley had an offer
00:24:43.700 from Toronto
00:24:44.700 and decided to accept it
00:24:46.680 last Friday night
00:24:48.280 after Columbia's capitulation
00:24:49.980 to the Trump administration's demands.
00:24:51.660 Now, okay,
00:24:52.200 remember this.
00:24:53.760 Jason Stanley says
00:24:54.780 he's fleeing
00:24:55.540 because he's fleeing
00:24:57.240 the Ivy League
00:24:58.000 to Canada
00:24:58.900 because of rising
00:25:00.660 Nazism 0.87
00:25:01.860 and fascism.
00:25:03.660 Okay.
00:25:05.180 What is one
00:25:06.320 of the most notable
00:25:07.320 endeavors
00:25:08.980 of the fascists
00:25:10.060 would be
00:25:11.180 to harass Jews?
00:25:14.360 Why is
00:25:15.300 the Trump administration
00:25:16.440 threatening
00:25:17.460 to withhold
00:25:17.940 federal funding
00:25:18.560 to Columbia?
00:25:19.840 Because
00:25:20.280 the Columbia administration
00:25:21.800 permitted
00:25:22.340 lots of agitators
00:25:23.780 and pro-Palestine protesters
00:25:25.100 to harass Jews.
00:25:28.120 So it's confusing.
00:25:30.480 The fascism,
00:25:31.460 the growing fascism
00:25:32.220 is a little bit confusing.
00:25:33.180 In fact,
00:25:33.760 just the leftist impulse
00:25:35.720 to call everything
00:25:36.320 you don't like fascist,
00:25:37.560 it's a little bit confusing.
00:25:39.000 But that's this guy's
00:25:39.840 whole shtick.
00:25:41.000 As far as I'm concerned,
00:25:42.020 he's more a journalist
00:25:42.780 than an actual scholar.
00:25:44.480 And his job
00:25:45.460 is to go on
00:25:46.120 left-wing TV channels
00:25:47.200 and say,
00:25:48.360 I'm, you know,
00:25:48.880 I'm a Yale professor.
00:25:50.120 And as a Yale professor,
00:25:51.860 I just want you to know
00:25:53.000 that Trump
00:25:53.460 is a big fascist.
00:25:54.900 And also,
00:25:55.620 the other Republicans
00:25:56.320 are big fascists.
00:25:57.680 And fascism
00:25:58.700 is on the rise.
00:25:59.820 And I'm a Yale professor.
00:26:00.700 It's kind of how
00:26:01.200 the left-wing news channels
00:26:02.360 bring on Bob Woodward,
00:26:04.020 who, as far as I can tell,
00:26:05.280 had one story
00:26:05.960 in his entire life.
00:26:06.700 And the story was,
00:26:08.080 it was given to him
00:26:08.880 by the deep state,
00:26:09.700 which was doing a coup
00:26:10.500 on Richard Nixon.
00:26:11.460 And he took down
00:26:12.380 Richard Nixon
00:26:12.980 with the Watergate scandal.
00:26:14.740 And then
00:26:15.160 Woodward
00:26:16.720 and Bernstein
00:26:17.980 would go on TV
00:26:19.380 for the next
00:26:20.080 40 years.
00:26:21.040 and their only job
00:26:22.580 is to go on and say,
00:26:23.300 this latest
00:26:24.520 Republican scandal,
00:26:25.580 it's the new Watergate.
00:26:27.300 Oh, why, yes.
00:26:28.360 All right,
00:26:28.660 we're joined right now
00:26:29.780 by Woodward and Bernstein
00:26:31.280 to explain
00:26:32.720 why whatever
00:26:33.500 the Republican
00:26:34.640 we least like right now,
00:26:36.560 why what he's doing
00:26:37.180 is the new Watergate.
00:26:38.360 It's worse than Watergate. 0.53
00:26:40.140 And so anyway,
00:26:40.520 that's what Jason Stanley does.
00:26:41.580 I don't think he contributed
00:26:42.340 anything to Yale
00:26:43.340 and,
00:26:44.500 or to America.
00:26:45.680 And now he's going
00:26:46.620 to Canada.
00:26:47.860 There's one last
00:26:48.760 little funny bit
00:26:49.700 of his fleeing
00:26:50.460 to Canada,
00:26:51.420 which is,
00:26:52.720 if he wants to flee
00:26:54.300 the increasingly
00:26:54.920 authoritarian kind
00:26:55.920 of government here,
00:26:56.780 Canada might not
00:26:57.620 be the best place.
00:26:59.040 Do you remember,
00:27:00.480 I'm no great historian
00:27:01.960 like those geniuses
00:27:02.980 at Yale,
00:27:03.500 but I remember
00:27:05.160 back in 2022,
00:27:06.840 there were these things
00:27:07.420 called the trucker
00:27:08.100 protests in Canada.
00:27:09.820 And there were
00:27:10.120 these truckers
00:27:10.720 who didn't want
00:27:11.220 to be forced
00:27:11.720 to inject
00:27:12.300 an experimental drug
00:27:13.620 into their veins,
00:27:14.420 a drug that we
00:27:15.160 have since found out
00:27:16.640 caused people to die
00:27:17.900 and was not necessary
00:27:19.600 for most people,
00:27:20.280 didn't do the things
00:27:21.180 that the scientists
00:27:22.880 and the public health
00:27:23.560 officials told us
00:27:24.220 that they would do.
00:27:25.600 All of this during COVID.
00:27:27.080 And so what did
00:27:27.600 the government
00:27:28.140 of Canada do?
00:27:29.380 Did they accept
00:27:30.080 the free expression,
00:27:31.080 you know,
00:27:31.300 bodily autonomy, man?
00:27:32.500 Let the truckers 1.00
00:27:33.080 do what they want.
00:27:33.660 No,
00:27:34.180 they actually
00:27:35.280 stole all their money,
00:27:37.100 froze their bank accounts
00:27:38.220 and arrested them
00:27:40.240 and continue to harass
00:27:42.840 these poor guys.
00:27:43.560 There was a
00:27:45.840 GoFundMe campaign
00:27:46.900 for the truckers.
00:27:48.200 Canada just like 0.75
00:27:48.740 took their money,
00:27:49.320 just took it.
00:27:49.760 I don't even know
00:27:50.100 what the legal predicate
00:27:51.200 for that was.
00:27:51.800 They just took it.
00:27:52.380 Doesn't matter.
00:27:52.880 Sovereign is he
00:27:53.400 who decides the exception.
00:27:56.540 So,
00:27:57.100 anyway,
00:27:59.400 Yale professor
00:27:59.960 fleeing the increasingly
00:28:01.700 authoritarian America
00:28:02.600 for Canada,
00:28:04.980 best known for
00:28:05.740 arbitrarily arresting
00:28:07.740 citizens,
00:28:08.260 stealing their money
00:28:08.800 and killing them too. 0.93
00:28:09.580 They also know
00:28:10.020 that the medical
00:28:10.880 assistance in dying law
00:28:12.080 is killing an increasing
00:28:13.400 number of Canadians.
00:28:14.580 So,
00:28:14.720 okay,
00:28:14.960 enjoy it.
00:28:15.600 Enjoy America's evil
00:28:16.340 top hat,
00:28:16.800 man.
00:28:17.680 We'll just be down here
00:28:18.680 with our rising fascism.
00:28:21.720 Now,
00:28:21.860 speaking of our national
00:28:22.580 neighbors turning from
00:28:23.300 the north down to the south,
00:28:26.100 LA Times has a great
00:28:27.140 story out right now.
00:28:30.620 Headline,
00:28:31.220 California-Mexico border
00:28:32.340 once overwhelmed,
00:28:35.140 now nearly empty.
00:28:38.520 That's really weird.
00:28:39.560 Just the first,
00:28:40.220 we'll read the whole article,
00:28:41.820 but first paragraph or two,
00:28:43.380 really great here.
00:28:44.860 With so few migrants 1.00
00:28:45.820 coming into the U.S.,
00:28:46.660 shelters that once
00:28:47.340 served migrants
00:28:48.000 have closed.
00:28:50.020 The border patrol
00:28:51.040 has been bolstered
00:28:51.900 by 750 U.S. military troops.
00:28:54.720 And in recent months,
00:28:55.480 six miles of border wall
00:28:56.560 have been outfitted
00:28:57.260 with concertina wire.
00:28:58.580 Okay,
00:28:58.740 so only six miles of border,
00:29:00.380 they've added a little bit
00:29:01.040 of wire to.
00:29:01.980 But they said
00:29:02.640 when the humanitarian aid workers
00:29:04.000 decided to dismantle
00:29:05.020 their elaborate tented setup,
00:29:06.420 erected right up
00:29:07.020 against the border wall,
00:29:08.140 they hadn't seen migrants
00:29:09.100 for a month.
00:29:09.680 So they're dismantling it,
00:29:11.140 not even because Trump
00:29:12.160 is pressuring them
00:29:13.180 to do so.
00:29:14.120 It's because there are
00:29:14.780 no migrants anymore. 0.85
00:29:16.660 Because Trump
00:29:17.280 is just enforcing the law.
00:29:19.720 So you remember
00:29:20.060 for six months,
00:29:21.060 the Democrats told us
00:29:22.060 that they needed
00:29:22.840 a new immigration law
00:29:24.280 passed by Republicans
00:29:26.440 in Congress,
00:29:27.760 allegedly being stymied
00:29:28.820 by phone calls
00:29:29.400 from President Trump.
00:29:30.100 They needed a new law
00:29:31.020 in order for Biden
00:29:31.900 to stop the mass migration
00:29:34.800 of foreigners 0.92
00:29:35.340 across our southern border.
00:29:36.640 And at the time,
00:29:37.240 I said it was ridiculous.
00:29:38.200 Republicans should
00:29:38.760 totally ignore that bill,
00:29:40.780 totally ignore
00:29:41.420 the Democrat demands
00:29:42.140 because the Democrats
00:29:44.200 had proven,
00:29:44.920 Joe Biden had proven
00:29:45.800 that he wasn't willing
00:29:46.460 to enforce the immigration
00:29:47.320 laws on the books.
00:29:48.180 So why would a new
00:29:49.540 immigration law
00:29:50.360 impel him to enforce the law?
00:29:51.920 No, all they wanted
00:29:52.600 was amnesty.
00:29:53.860 All they wanted
00:29:54.560 was an easier way
00:29:55.900 to bring in
00:29:56.920 all of those millions
00:29:57.600 of people.
00:29:58.040 And Trump has proven that.
00:29:59.880 Trump's been in office
00:30:00.680 for two months
00:30:01.500 and the illegal immigration
00:30:03.740 has stopped.
00:30:04.360 Now, Trump is also
00:30:05.440 deporting people.
00:30:06.440 We hope that the deportations
00:30:07.620 will increase in volume.
00:30:09.740 But at the very least,
00:30:11.180 there are no new people
00:30:11.960 coming in.
00:30:12.620 It's just done.
00:30:14.280 This proves,
00:30:15.600 beyond a shadow of a doubt,
00:30:17.080 that all of the various
00:30:18.740 border crises
00:30:19.820 in recent memory
00:30:22.000 were just Democrats
00:30:24.340 breaking the law.
00:30:26.860 That's it.
00:30:28.440 Every border crisis
00:30:29.660 has been contrived.
00:30:31.300 It's been manufactured.
00:30:32.440 All of the claims
00:30:33.840 that the Democrats make
00:30:34.940 that they can't stop
00:30:36.340 the influx of migrants
00:30:37.560 have been lies.
00:30:40.540 The entirety of mass migration 0.55
00:30:42.880 into this country
00:30:43.640 has occurred
00:30:45.260 primarily because
00:30:47.400 Democrats
00:30:48.700 just wanted to break the law.
00:30:52.200 That's it.
00:30:54.040 Not going to help the Democrats
00:30:55.740 at the ballot box
00:30:56.940 when they now see
00:30:58.420 so clearly
00:30:59.140 that one of the biggest issues
00:31:01.660 for Americans,
00:31:03.940 poll after poll,
00:31:04.760 now for something like
00:31:05.680 10 years or more,
00:31:07.500 that they have been
00:31:08.180 on the wrong side of it
00:31:09.000 and they've been deceitful
00:31:10.040 even about their position
00:31:11.620 on the wrong side of it.
00:31:12.500 So what are they going to do?
00:31:13.240 Are they just going to give up?
00:31:14.100 No, probably not.
00:31:15.500 Probably you're going to see
00:31:16.200 more pushback
00:31:17.320 from the liberal elite
00:31:18.200 in the institutions
00:31:19.080 that they still control.
00:31:20.440 The bureaucracy for now,
00:31:22.500 the judiciary for now.
00:31:25.000 Speaking of one weird trick
00:31:26.300 to improve things,
00:31:27.120 we turn from the Trump administration
00:31:29.180 to Major League Baseball
00:31:31.520 where the Yankees
00:31:32.940 just cannot stop
00:31:35.400 hitting home runs.
00:31:36.800 I'm a Yankee fan.
00:31:37.880 You know this.
00:31:39.220 It's the only sport
00:31:40.200 that I watch.
00:31:40.780 It's the only team
00:31:41.340 that I follow.
00:31:42.160 So I was watching
00:31:43.160 the Yankees-Brewers game
00:31:44.880 on Saturday.
00:31:45.860 The first three pitches
00:31:46.560 against actually
00:31:48.300 a recent New York Yankees pitcher,
00:31:50.260 Nestor Cortez,
00:31:50.980 but now he's on the Brewers.
00:31:52.180 First three pitches,
00:31:53.220 all home runs.
00:31:55.000 First three pitches of the game,
00:31:57.000 three hitters,
00:31:58.020 back-to-back-to-back,
00:31:59.060 all home runs.
00:32:00.060 What's going on here?
00:32:01.160 Well, the first two batters,
00:32:03.060 not Aaron Judge,
00:32:04.240 but the first two batters
00:32:05.360 were using a new kind of bat,
00:32:07.820 and they're calling it
00:32:08.660 the torpedo bat.
00:32:10.600 And the bat
00:32:12.000 kind of pairs down
00:32:14.020 at the end.
00:32:14.720 Instead of coming up
00:32:15.620 like a normal bat 0.73
00:32:16.340 where it gets wider
00:32:17.220 and wider and wider
00:32:17.980 and then kind of levels out
00:32:18.960 and remains the same,
00:32:19.980 it gets wider
00:32:20.760 and wider and wider
00:32:21.440 and then it kind of
00:32:22.480 comes back in a little bit
00:32:23.940 at the top
00:32:24.380 and it looks like a torpedo.
00:32:25.400 Now, Judge was using
00:32:27.060 the old-style bat,
00:32:27.840 so you can't chalk
00:32:28.500 his home run up to that,
00:32:29.420 but the Yankees just keep
00:32:30.500 just absolutely
00:32:31.440 blowing the ball
00:32:32.700 out of the park
00:32:33.200 and other teams
00:32:34.980 are upset about this.
00:32:36.740 They're complaining
00:32:37.660 that the New York Yankees
00:32:39.600 are using a new bat,
00:32:41.420 a new bat,
00:32:42.140 which even they will admit
00:32:42.980 breaks no rules
00:32:44.640 in Major League Baseball.
00:32:46.860 And this has a political lesson
00:32:48.520 for me.
00:32:48.960 And I'm glad
00:32:51.780 because I am actually
00:32:54.100 a supporter of the team
00:32:55.460 that is benefiting
00:32:56.140 from the new bats,
00:32:56.980 but I want this to apply
00:32:58.100 to my political team as well.
00:32:59.800 I want this to apply
00:33:00.540 to my political party.
00:33:01.740 I do not ever want
00:33:03.700 to be the political party
00:33:05.600 complaining about
00:33:06.680 the other guy
00:33:07.240 using the new bats.
00:33:09.320 I always,
00:33:10.600 100% of the time,
00:33:12.140 want to be the political party
00:33:13.540 that has the brilliant idea
00:33:15.420 and the discipline
00:33:16.320 and the follow-through
00:33:17.080 to use the new bats
00:33:18.820 that can be brought
00:33:20.820 into the game
00:33:21.560 and that can help
00:33:22.620 you win the game.
00:33:23.620 They don't break the rules.
00:33:25.420 They just play better.
00:33:28.000 Okay?
00:33:28.980 The libs right now
00:33:30.100 are complaining
00:33:31.620 about the new bats.
00:33:33.000 The libs right now
00:33:34.020 are complaining
00:33:34.560 that politics has changed
00:33:36.340 and Trump in America
00:33:38.020 and Brexit in the UK
00:33:41.160 and Maloney in Italy
00:33:42.540 and Orban in Hungary
00:33:44.980 and the Vox Party
00:33:46.040 to some degree in Spain
00:33:47.320 and Alternative for Deutschland
00:33:49.040 to some degree in Germany
00:33:50.260 and all of it
00:33:52.280 and the Front National
00:33:54.540 in France.
00:33:56.840 They've changed the game
00:33:57.800 a little bit.
00:33:58.920 Especially,
00:33:59.540 you see this with Trump.
00:34:00.460 Trump won
00:34:01.340 by assembling
00:34:02.120 a new coalition.
00:34:03.880 He did not appeal
00:34:04.740 necessarily
00:34:05.520 to rich Uncle Pennybags.
00:34:07.000 He did not appeal
00:34:07.960 to the country club set.
00:34:09.800 He did not,
00:34:10.560 he didn't just go
00:34:11.600 for the same old voters.
00:34:12.740 He messed up
00:34:15.120 all the political coalitions
00:34:16.100 and he took
00:34:16.460 one in five black guys
00:34:17.260 and almost half of Hispanics
00:34:18.400 and a lot of women 1.00
00:34:19.460 and a lot of blue-collar workers.
00:34:22.620 He really flipped the parties
00:34:23.700 so that the party
00:34:24.460 of limousines
00:34:25.120 and rich Uncle Pennybags
00:34:25.980 really is the Democrats now
00:34:27.320 and the party
00:34:27.980 of the working man
00:34:28.560 really is the Republicans.
00:34:29.620 That had not been the case
00:34:30.660 in my lifetime.
00:34:31.480 He just changed it.
00:34:32.620 I mean,
00:34:32.700 he just got a new bat.
00:34:35.320 And the libs are whining
00:34:36.460 and crying
00:34:36.980 and meanwhile,
00:34:37.820 Trump wins elections.
00:34:38.620 That's the party
00:34:40.500 I want to be.
00:34:41.720 That's the party
00:34:42.220 we are right now.
00:34:42.920 Let's not forget about it.
00:34:44.520 Let's keep cheering
00:34:45.160 on the New York Yankees
00:34:46.000 who I thought
00:34:46.340 we're going to have
00:34:46.700 a very bad season
00:34:47.420 but it looks like
00:34:47.900 they now will have
00:34:48.480 a good season.

00:35:22.060 My favorite comment
00:35:23.680 yesterday
00:35:24.300 is from
00:35:25.360 Karaze Pelham
00:35:28.080 7682
00:35:29.960 who says,
00:35:32.160 wonder when
00:35:33.140 they're going
00:35:33.720 to be disrespectful
00:35:34.560 to Muhammad.
00:35:35.560 Oh right,
00:35:35.960 they wouldn't dare.
00:35:36.600 this I think
00:35:37.660 in response
00:35:38.160 to the Satanists
00:35:39.400 who were
00:35:40.020 trying to desecrate
00:35:41.780 the Eucharist
00:35:42.600 allegedly
00:35:43.060 and do a black mass 0.72
00:35:44.680 in Kansas
00:35:45.760 yesterday.
00:35:48.140 We talked about it
00:35:49.080 yesterday on the show
00:35:49.920 but of course
00:35:50.700 this happened
00:35:51.080 a few days ago
00:35:51.680 and the Satanists
00:35:52.260 ended up getting arrested
00:35:53.100 and the Catholic hero
00:35:53.860 ended up consuming the host
00:35:54.780 and it was really,
00:35:55.460 really great.
00:35:56.320 Yeah,
00:35:56.520 when are they going
00:35:57.000 to do it?
00:35:58.560 They're going to try
00:35:59.200 to offend the Muslims.
00:36:00.220 They won't.
00:36:01.500 When are they going
00:36:02.000 to do the anti-Quaker service?
00:36:03.740 You're not going
00:36:04.120 to see that.
00:36:05.960 It's always
00:36:07.060 anti-Christian
00:36:08.580 and specifically
00:36:09.400 it's always anti-Catholic 0.98
00:36:10.440 and to me
00:36:12.220 that's a mark
00:36:14.060 in favor of the Catholics.
00:36:15.220 If you're on the fence
00:36:16.020 to me
00:36:16.460 that's a mark
00:36:16.860 in favor of the Catholics.
00:36:18.960 Now speaking of
00:36:20.320 games
00:36:22.500 and playing around
00:36:23.720 there's a report
00:36:24.860 out of the UK
00:36:25.680 a lot of problems
00:36:26.660 in the UK right now.
00:36:27.840 A toddler
00:36:28.360 was kicked out
00:36:29.500 of a nursery
00:36:30.020 in the UK
00:36:30.860 for being transphobic.
00:36:34.000 It's real.
00:36:35.220 It's according
00:36:35.640 to statistics
00:36:36.560 from the 2022
00:36:38.300 to 2023
00:36:39.160 academic year.
00:36:40.980 This is at a state school.
00:36:42.080 It's all available now
00:36:43.060 reported by the Telegraph
00:36:44.540 and the Daily Mail.
00:36:45.700 A toddler
00:36:46.580 was kicked out
00:36:47.540 of the nursery
00:36:48.060 after having been
00:36:49.420 accused of transphobia.
00:36:51.640 94 pupils
00:36:52.700 at similar
00:36:54.020 primary institutions
00:36:55.200 were suspended
00:36:56.320 or permanently
00:36:57.120 expelled
00:36:57.740 for transphobia
00:36:59.780 or homophobia.
00:37:00.580 We are talking
00:37:01.080 about kids
00:37:01.720 between the ages
00:37:03.320 of
00:37:03.780 what
00:37:05.060 three
00:37:06.740 three or four
00:37:08.320 and seven
00:37:09.020 using kids
00:37:10.700 down to nursery school
00:37:11.900 up to
00:37:13.660 second grade
00:37:14.900 kicked out
00:37:16.760 for homophobia
00:37:17.900 and transphobia
00:37:19.900 and
00:37:21.140 that should not
00:37:22.880 be surprising.
00:37:24.700 It kind of
00:37:25.460 drives me crazy
00:37:26.260 when I see
00:37:27.000 especially conservatives
00:37:27.820 they say
00:37:28.120 can you believe this?
00:37:29.240 can you believe
00:37:30.780 this is crazy?
00:37:32.300 How could they
00:37:33.120 go this far?
00:37:33.780 Of course I believe this.
00:37:35.300 This is the logical
00:37:36.040 conclusion
00:37:36.500 of the sexual revolution.
00:37:40.400 What is supposed
00:37:42.600 to be surprising?
00:37:43.260 That a kid
00:37:44.060 was kicked out
00:37:44.580 of school.
00:37:45.520 Kids get kicked
00:37:46.060 out of school.
00:37:46.640 Kids are suspended
00:37:47.260 and expelled
00:37:48.260 from schools.
00:37:49.480 So that shouldn't
00:37:50.320 be surprising.
00:37:51.920 What is surprising
00:37:52.960 is that it was
00:37:54.320 for transphobia
00:37:55.140 or homophobia
00:37:55.720 or whatever
00:37:56.140 but that shouldn't
00:37:56.820 be surprising either
00:37:57.500 because according
00:37:58.480 to the morality
00:37:59.360 constructed and
00:38:00.680 enforced by the left
00:38:01.920 the new official
00:38:03.420 morality which is
00:38:04.400 rather immoral
00:38:05.240 it's untethered
00:38:06.000 from the actual
00:38:07.080 objective moral order
00:38:08.020 but it's still
00:38:08.560 a kind of a morality
00:38:10.120 that is enforced
00:38:10.940 then some of the
00:38:12.340 worst sins in the world
00:38:13.260 are homophobia
00:38:13.840 and transphobia.
00:38:14.760 You know it
00:38:15.060 wouldn't be surprising
00:38:16.040 if a kid
00:38:17.980 got kicked out
00:38:18.660 of the second grade
00:38:19.400 for stealing
00:38:20.000 or at least
00:38:21.300 suspended.
00:38:22.240 Wouldn't be surprising
00:38:23.160 if a kid got kicked
00:38:24.120 out of kindergarten
00:38:24.740 or at least suspended
00:38:25.500 for lying
00:38:26.220 to his teacher
00:38:27.300 or to other students
00:38:28.180 wouldn't be surprising
00:38:29.240 if a kid got
00:38:30.020 expelled
00:38:31.160 for becoming
00:38:32.540 really violent
00:38:33.220 with some other student
00:38:34.220 even down to the
00:38:35.280 nursery school age
00:38:36.480 biting a student
00:38:38.420 or I don't know
00:38:38.780 bringing a weapon
00:38:39.400 to the school
00:38:40.480 or something
00:38:40.980 that wouldn't be surprising.
00:38:43.280 So in a
00:38:44.160 traditional
00:38:44.880 society
00:38:46.320 in a normal society
00:38:47.440 those are the kinds
00:38:48.660 of things you'd be
00:38:49.140 punished for
00:38:49.520 stealing
00:38:49.980 lying
00:38:51.680 committing
00:38:53.020 violence
00:38:54.260 but in our
00:38:55.620 ridiculous
00:38:56.120 modern liberal
00:38:57.340 society
00:38:57.860 those
00:38:58.780 actual sins
00:38:59.740 are replaced
00:39:00.700 by fake sins
00:39:01.680 like homophobia
00:39:02.520 and transphobia.
00:39:04.260 So yeah
00:39:04.800 this should be
00:39:05.800 totally expected.
00:39:07.600 Kind of like
00:39:08.480 the two-tier system
00:39:09.180 of justice
00:39:09.560 in the UK.
00:39:11.380 If you insist
00:39:12.600 upon diversity
00:39:13.300 and equity
00:39:13.660 and inclusion
00:39:14.160 and artificially
00:39:14.900 boosting certain
00:39:15.520 groups
00:39:15.880 and artificially
00:39:17.340 well
00:39:17.680 even if you
00:39:18.540 just engage
00:39:19.780 the former
00:39:20.480 you're going
00:39:21.380 to necessarily
00:39:22.180 have to
00:39:22.900 suppress
00:39:23.360 artificially
00:39:24.220 other groups.
00:39:25.720 Same thing here.
00:39:27.560 No surprise at all.
00:39:28.560 So if you don't
00:39:29.140 like that
00:39:29.620 then you gotta
00:39:30.020 it can't just be
00:39:30.920 you know
00:39:31.720 oh well
00:39:32.060 this is crazy
00:39:32.740 kids shouldn't 1.00
00:39:33.600 have to deal
00:39:33.900 with this
00:39:34.180 until they
00:39:34.480 reach the
00:39:34.740 fifth grade.
00:39:35.160 No
00:39:35.240 the reason
00:39:36.340 it's wrong
00:39:36.940 is because
00:39:37.440 transphobia
00:39:38.780 is a ridiculous
00:39:39.360 concept
00:39:39.900 because
00:39:40.160 transgenderism
00:39:40.920 is a ridiculous
00:39:41.500 concept
00:39:42.060 because it's
00:39:42.640 a false
00:39:42.940 anthropology.
00:39:45.000 So
00:39:45.440 just forget
00:39:46.660 about it.
00:39:48.380 Stop thinking
00:39:49.100 about transphobia
00:39:49.580 it's not
00:39:49.860 the sort of thing
00:39:50.960 that anyone
00:39:51.280 should be punished
00:39:51.860 for.
00:39:52.820 Homophobia
00:39:53.220 what does
00:39:53.520 that mean?
00:39:54.760 Viewing
00:39:55.200 aberrant
00:39:56.140 sexual acts
00:39:56.740 with moral
00:39:57.080 opprobrium
00:39:57.580 that's
00:39:57.960 what's wrong
00:39:58.800 with that?
00:39:59.600 Not saying
00:40:00.160 you should be
00:40:00.560 cruel to people
00:40:01.100 or anything
00:40:01.460 but to have
00:40:02.260 that view
00:40:02.820 what's wrong
00:40:03.280 with that?
00:40:03.860 Nothing.
00:40:05.620 But that
00:40:06.000 means you
00:40:06.360 need to
00:40:06.600 reset the
00:40:07.060 moral order.
00:40:07.540 That means
00:40:08.020 in other
00:40:08.800 words
00:40:09.040 a change
00:40:10.340 in regime
00:40:10.840 a restoration
00:40:11.540 to a more
00:40:12.420 sane kind
00:40:13.080 of sovereign
00:40:13.520 and the
00:40:14.440 people who
00:40:14.780 are actually
00:40:15.200 in power
00:40:15.480 are not
00:40:15.700 going to
00:40:15.860 give that
00:40:16.100 up so
00:40:16.380 quickly.
00:40:18.000 This
00:40:18.320 comes down
00:40:19.060 ultimately
00:40:19.640 not just
00:40:20.200 to morality
00:40:20.800 and culture
00:40:21.520 but to a
00:40:22.340 kind of
00:40:22.540 spiritual
00:40:22.860 warfare.
00:40:23.940 As the White 0.98
00:40:24.400 House Press
00:40:24.740 Secretary
00:40:25.020 Caroline Levitt
00:40:25.840 just explained
00:40:26.660 to CBN News.
00:40:27.940 It's warfare
00:40:28.820 out there.
00:40:30.320 In Christian
00:40:31.340 terms people
00:40:32.000 will call
00:40:32.560 what's happening
00:40:33.220 in our country
00:40:33.660 today spiritual
00:40:34.400 warfare.
00:40:34.720 Do you see
00:40:35.460 do you see it
00:40:35.620 in those terms
00:40:36.200 kind of good
00:40:36.680 versus evil
00:40:37.200 out there
00:40:37.720 in that context?
00:40:39.240 How do you
00:40:39.500 see that?
00:40:40.140 I certainly
00:40:40.720 believe in
00:40:42.640 spiritual warfare
00:40:43.440 and I think
00:40:44.220 I saw it
00:40:45.840 firsthand
00:40:46.180 especially
00:40:46.640 throughout the
00:40:47.200 campaign trail
00:40:47.800 with President
00:40:48.320 Trump.
00:40:49.180 And I think
00:40:49.640 there certainly
00:40:50.140 were evil
00:40:50.740 forces
00:40:51.180 and I think
00:40:52.860 that the
00:40:53.320 president
00:40:53.660 was saved
00:40:55.000 by the grace
00:40:55.560 of God
00:40:55.980 on July 13th
00:40:57.380 in Butler,
00:40:57.840 Pennsylvania
00:40:58.300 and he's
00:40:58.940 in this moment
00:40:59.620 for a reason.
00:41:00.300 We're all here
00:41:00.820 for a reason
00:41:01.520 and I think
00:41:02.860 it's a miraculous
00:41:04.060 thing that has
00:41:04.700 taken place
00:41:05.180 in our country.
00:41:06.400 Okay,
00:41:06.720 so obviously
00:41:07.340 all of that's true
00:41:08.180 and it raised
00:41:08.920 all sorts
00:41:09.580 of liberal eyebrows.
00:41:10.840 Oh,
00:41:11.040 this woman's 0.73
00:41:11.580 going off
00:41:12.140 about spiritual
00:41:13.940 warfare.
00:41:14.620 Oh,
00:41:14.860 goodness,
00:41:15.260 this has become
00:41:15.860 a cult.
00:41:16.480 This is superstitious. 0.83
00:41:17.640 This is what,
00:41:18.080 you know,
00:41:18.420 all the stuff
00:41:18.860 that Reddit
00:41:19.460 tier atheist
00:41:20.140 libs usually say.
00:41:21.520 But,
00:41:22.320 you know,
00:41:23.240 to deny
00:41:23.740 spiritual warfare,
00:41:25.440 that means
00:41:26.440 you would have
00:41:26.980 to deny
00:41:27.660 the reality
00:41:29.240 of evil
00:41:29.980 on the one hand
00:41:31.180 and free will
00:41:31.740 on the other.
00:41:33.620 To really think
00:41:34.780 the language
00:41:35.360 that Caroline Leavitt, 0.88
00:41:37.360 the spokesman
00:41:37.940 for the Trump
00:41:38.300 White House,
00:41:38.820 is using
00:41:39.560 as crazy
00:41:40.260 or something,
00:41:41.700 even if you're
00:41:42.300 some atheist
00:41:43.020 or agnostic
00:41:43.720 or lib
00:41:44.120 or whatever,
00:41:45.060 in order to
00:41:46.420 really object
00:41:47.360 to this language,
00:41:48.100 you would have
00:41:48.680 to deny
00:41:49.240 that there is
00:41:49.820 such a thing
00:41:50.280 as evil
00:41:50.760 and I don't
00:41:51.820 think they
00:41:52.120 would deny
00:41:52.500 that.
00:41:54.320 Now,
00:41:54.760 when they call
00:41:55.120 everyone a Nazi,
00:41:55.980 what they're saying
00:41:56.580 is you're evil, 0.95
00:41:57.500 you know,
00:41:57.660 so they wouldn't
00:41:58.120 deny that
00:41:58.680 and
00:41:59.680 I don't
00:42:01.720 think,
00:42:02.060 do they deny
00:42:02.520 free will?
00:42:03.120 They might
00:42:03.380 deny free will
00:42:04.080 in the abstract.
00:42:04.940 They might say
00:42:05.300 they're determinists
00:42:06.320 and they don't
00:42:06.820 really,
00:42:07.060 but they behave
00:42:08.360 as though free will
00:42:09.000 exists.
00:42:09.700 Like,
00:42:09.860 for instance,
00:42:10.600 if I started
00:42:12.080 punching them
00:42:12.560 in the face,
00:42:13.040 they'd tell me
00:42:13.400 to stop
00:42:13.920 or they'd hold
00:42:14.800 me responsible
00:42:15.420 in a court of law
00:42:16.180 or something
00:42:16.480 for what I did.
00:42:17.200 So they would,
00:42:17.860 in other words,
00:42:19.060 hold me accountable
00:42:19.940 for using
00:42:20.980 my free will
00:42:22.960 in an abusive way.
00:42:25.020 So,
00:42:25.460 okay,
00:42:25.600 if you believe
00:42:26.000 in evil
00:42:26.360 and free will,
00:42:26.860 you believe
00:42:27.160 in spiritual warfare.
00:42:27.860 That's all it is.
00:42:31.100 That's all that is.
00:42:32.540 Now,
00:42:33.340 one last story
00:42:33.880 in the Trump admin
00:42:34.400 that I've been trying
00:42:34.880 to get to for a couple days
00:42:35.720 and I don't want to move
00:42:36.920 on too quickly from it.
00:42:38.340 You remember Signalgate
00:42:39.620 last week
00:42:40.200 when Mike Waltz,
00:42:42.760 the national security director,
00:42:44.400 added
00:42:44.880 Jeffrey Goldberg,
00:42:47.100 the head of the Atlantic,
00:42:49.000 the editor for this
00:42:49.700 liberal magazine,
00:42:50.580 to a group chat
00:42:51.400 with Pete Hegseth,
00:42:53.100 Secretary of Defense,
00:42:54.420 with the head
00:42:55.000 of the CIA
00:42:55.660 with all sorts
00:42:57.300 of top administration
00:42:58.120 officials.
00:42:59.660 And they were discussing
00:43:00.980 the Houthi bombing
00:43:01.780 and then Goldberg
00:43:02.700 wrote this Atlantic article,
00:43:03.660 the Trump admin
00:43:04.260 texted me their war plans.
00:43:06.440 Trump was asked about this,
00:43:07.700 he finally made a comment
00:43:08.680 about it,
00:43:09.400 and his comment
00:43:10.360 tells you a lot
00:43:11.800 about his approach
00:43:13.300 and how he views politics.
00:43:14.920 We have an amazing group.
00:43:17.460 Our national security
00:43:18.600 now is stronger
00:43:19.420 than it's ever been.
00:43:20.480 There was no classified
00:43:21.700 information,
00:43:22.600 as I understand it.
00:43:24.080 They used a app,
00:43:28.180 if you want to call it an app,
00:43:29.740 that a lot of people use,
00:43:30.900 a lot of people in government
00:43:31.900 use, a lot of people
00:43:32.860 in the media use.
00:43:34.260 But the main thing
00:43:35.740 was nothing happened.
00:43:37.320 The attack
00:43:37.860 was totally successful.
00:43:39.880 It was, I guess,
00:43:41.260 from what I understand,
00:43:42.580 took place during,
00:43:43.480 and it wasn't
00:43:45.060 classified information.
00:43:46.420 So this was not classified.
00:43:47.760 Now, if it's classified
00:43:48.580 information,
00:43:49.440 it's probably
00:43:50.300 a little bit different.
00:43:51.400 But I always say
00:43:52.440 you have to learn
00:43:53.480 from every experience.
00:43:54.600 I think it was very unfair
00:43:55.620 the way they attacked Michael.
00:43:58.400 He's a good person.
00:44:01.220 There is Michael,
00:44:01.980 there is talking
00:44:02.260 about Michael Waltz.
00:44:03.220 And Trump makes a point
00:44:04.660 to say that it was a staffer.
00:44:07.100 You know,
00:44:07.280 it was a staffer
00:44:07.920 for Michael Waltz,
00:44:09.380 added this person in,
00:44:10.640 and so, you know,
00:44:11.260 it's no good.
00:44:11.660 Now, I've paid attention
00:44:14.260 to politics long enough.
00:44:15.720 I've been around D.C.
00:44:16.620 enough time to know
00:44:17.580 that blame it on the staffer. 0.99
00:44:20.400 There's not always
00:44:20.960 a real staffer there, okay?
00:44:22.560 But what blame it
00:44:23.600 on the staffer means
00:44:24.660 is that
00:44:25.300 the National Security Advisor,
00:44:28.080 Michael Waltz,
00:44:28.660 still has Trump support.
00:44:31.040 That's what Trump
00:44:31.780 is signaling here.
00:44:33.340 Blame it on the staffer
00:44:34.180 just means
00:44:34.660 I'm still backing
00:44:35.440 Mike Waltz.
00:44:36.860 I'm not throwing
00:44:37.700 my guy under the bus.
00:44:38.580 We have yet to see
00:44:39.600 a Trump administration staffer
00:44:41.920 really get tossed
00:44:42.800 under the bus.
00:44:44.700 The Trump admin
00:44:45.980 remains tight,
00:44:47.800 loyal,
00:44:49.060 moving forward.
00:44:51.460 Almost as though
00:44:52.560 President Trump
00:44:53.240 recognizes that politics
00:44:54.420 does largely boil down
00:44:55.600 to friends versus enemies.
00:44:57.640 And he's made
00:44:58.380 a conscious decision
00:45:00.040 of who his friends
00:45:00.720 are going to be here.
00:45:01.780 And he knows
00:45:02.620 that that's how
00:45:03.480 the left views politics.
00:45:04.560 The left would never break,
00:45:06.180 would never throw
00:45:06.900 one of their guys
00:45:07.420 under the bus
00:45:07.980 in this kind
00:45:08.900 of a situation.
00:45:10.520 So he recognizes,
00:45:11.800 okay,
00:45:12.000 it's a team sport
00:45:12.800 and right now
00:45:13.440 our team's winning
00:45:14.160 and so I'm not
00:45:15.380 going to be sidetracked.
00:45:16.640 I'm not going to be
00:45:17.440 held to principles
00:45:18.300 by the left
00:45:18.980 that the left
00:45:19.480 doesn't even believe in
00:45:20.540 and that are morally
00:45:21.480 dubious anyway.
00:45:22.800 Full steam ahead.
00:45:25.160 So now we look forward
00:45:26.080 to,
00:45:26.480 just a little preview
00:45:27.020 for tomorrow,

00:45:33.160 as we know it
00:45:33.660 could come to an end.
