The Libs have won a pivotal Supreme Court seat in Wisconsin in a potentially terrible omen for Republicans in the midterm elections.

Just hours before, President Trump announces his Liberation Day tariffs that could either inaugurate America's golden age
00:01:20.860
A rabbi has gone viral for declaring to federal legislators that it is not enough merely to not be anti-Semitic,
00:01:28.280
but that one must be anti-anti-Semitic, which is much better than being anti-anti-anti-Semitic,
00:01:36.020
but still not as good as being anti-anti-anti-anti-Semitic.

And while we were having fun, catching up with old friends, cigars and drinks,
00:02:46.700
the Libs won a crucial Wisconsin Supreme Court seat.
00:02:51.620
This liberal judge, Susan Crawford, won the seat.
00:02:55.780
And this wasn't who cares about a Supreme Court seat in Wisconsin, right?
00:03:03.920
The very highest echelons of the Republican Party were putting a lot of time, effort,
00:03:14.060
The reason it matters is because now the Democrats are going to keep their majority
00:03:18.420
in the Wisconsin Supreme Court, which means that Democrats can challenge the current congressional
00:03:24.280
election map, which means that the Libs can rejigger the map so that they can get more seats
00:03:31.420
They can flip some seats, which means that our extremely slim Republican majority in the House
00:03:36.800
is imperiled by a random night win of a Supreme Court justice in the state of Wisconsin.
00:03:46.280
This might be a bad sign for the midterm elections.
00:03:51.420
Wisconsin, obviously, an important swing state.
00:03:56.260
You know, you don't want to read too much into it.
00:04:01.100
A lot of people didn't even know this election was going on, despite President Trump and Elon
00:04:04.340
Musk's attempts to raise awareness, get out the vote.
00:04:07.640
There was some good news from some elections last night, which we'll get to in a moment.
00:04:11.780
But we're conservatives here, so we start with all the bad stuff.
00:04:14.920
This could be a bad sign because it just is always the case, virtually always the case,
00:04:20.320
that the party that wins the White House loses the first midterm election.
00:04:25.420
That is a big risk in particular when you're in a political sea change.
00:04:30.360
This is not just going from Reagan to Bush to Clinton to Bush to Obama.
00:04:35.560
This is a more fundamental change in our political order, so things get a little squirrelier and more difficult to predict.
00:04:41.900
Also, there is a pretty decent chance of a trade war and a pretty decent chance of a recession.
00:04:50.500
And I'm not saying that I don't think Trump should implement tariffs.
00:04:56.820
I am not saying that Trump is going to get all the blame if the economy goes into recession.
00:05:03.320
The economy seemed to be artificially buoyed under Joe Biden.
00:05:07.580
Any president coming in would have had a very decent chance of recession.
00:05:11.460
That's even without the talk of the trade wars.
00:05:14.200
And today is the day that we're going to find out about the tariffs and the potential for a trade war.
00:05:20.360
Okay, President Trump has announced on Liberation Day he's going to unveil a slew of tariffs, reciprocal tariffs in particular,
00:05:27.240
to punish countries who try to cheat us on trade.
00:05:31.160
And this could either benefit the American economy because the foreign countries lower their barriers to trade.
00:05:39.380
And we get more U.S. goods in there into all these markets around the world.
00:05:43.260
And that's really great for the American producer.
00:05:45.520
Or the countries could say, no way, we're not going to do it.
00:05:51.680
And then we're going to reshore American manufacturing.
00:05:53.680
You've already seen a little bit of that happening in the first two months of the Trump admin.
00:06:00.420
And the countries just have to pay more to have access to the U.S. market.
00:06:06.880
Now, I mentioned on the show that I recently sat down with the Treasury Secretary, Scott Besant.
00:06:12.640
And I asked, okay, those are great desires, but they conflict with each other.
00:06:17.020
If you get one, you don't necessarily get the other two.
00:06:19.200
If you get some of them, you actually can't get the other ones.
00:06:23.800
And his answer, very diplomatically, very intelligently, was we've got to wait and see.
00:06:29.240
April 2nd is the day we're going to wait and see.
00:06:30.860
So high-level administration officials, at the very highest levels, don't really know what this means.
00:06:38.600
I think the tariffs are supposed to be announced at 4 p.m. today.
00:06:42.180
There was reporting yesterday that even top administration officials, as of yesterday,
00:06:46.940
did not know who the tariffs were going to hit, what the tariffs were going to look like,
00:06:52.940
This is his great political skill, is his unpredictability.
00:06:56.260
Unpredictable, even to those advisors who are closest to him.
00:06:59.600
One thing that also happened yesterday, though, with this unpredictable climate,
00:07:04.860
is the state of Israel announced that it would end all tariffs on U.S. imports before Liberation Day.
00:07:16.540
I think other countries around the world should do that as well.
00:07:18.760
Because if there are, basically, the state of Israel waited until the very last moment, said,
00:07:33.460
They went all the way up to the very line and they said, okay, you know what?
00:07:40.340
And the reaction from a lot of people is, wait a second, Israel had tariffs on U.S. goods?
00:07:49.900
Israel, a state that would not exist if the U.S. military didn't protect it,
00:07:56.900
There's some people who want to single out Israel for every single issue.
00:08:00.180
It's like every country on Earth has tariffs on U.S. goods.
00:08:04.980
Where we think, hold on, these are good allies of ours.
00:08:09.280
Wait, India has these massive tariffs on U.S. auto?
00:08:14.240
Hold on, the European Union has massive tariffs on all sorts of U.S. goods,
00:08:22.540
Europe would not exist right now or would have been conquered by a hostile foreign power.
00:08:27.420
Actually, Europe has been conquered by a hostile foreign power because of mass migration,
00:08:31.860
Europe would look totally different than it does right now,
00:08:36.580
the U.S. military, which is the European military.
00:08:39.280
Are you telling me they're putting tariffs on our goods?
00:08:41.240
So one of the consequences of Trump's unpredictable tariff policy and all his really tough talk on
00:08:48.420
tariffs, one of the consequences that I haven't heard people talk about a lot
00:08:51.900
is just raising awareness that so many other countries are ripping us off.
00:08:58.240
So many other countries have tariffs on U.S. goods.
00:09:04.840
Does he get all the way up to the line and then back off the tariffs?
00:09:09.880
I've told you from the beginning, I have no idea what Trump is doing with the tariffs.
00:09:16.220
And don't just say, well, you know, Michael, you got to get better at your job.
00:09:23.700
Hey, if the Treasury Secretary doesn't know, if Trump's own Treasury Secretary doesn't know,
00:09:29.380
And anyone who tells you they do know what Trump is doing with these tariffs is lying to you.
00:09:33.160
I've talked to multiple Trump world figures, administration figures, people around the
00:09:39.120
And the ones who tell me they do know what he's doing with the tariffs, they all give me
00:09:47.900
And I have said for weeks now, if Trump is serious about the tariffs, he's talking like
00:09:56.240
From the campaign, we're going to have a new golden age.
00:10:02.520
I, you know, he's echoing Abraham Lincoln who said, you give me a tariff, I'll give you
00:10:16.100
And anyone who tells you otherwise is lying to you.
00:10:19.320
Speaking of unpredictability, President Trump has just withdrawn his nomination for UN ambassador.
00:10:27.380
Elise Stefanik, a New York congressman who Trump put up for UN ambassador, he withdrew her.
00:10:43.420
All of the supposedly controversial nominees, he didn't have to withdraw.
00:10:46.800
Elise Stefanik was a shoe-in for UN ambassador.

In this episode of Mike Land, I sit down with the rogue archaeologist, an explorer, a writer, a modern-day Indiana Jones, Timothy Albarino,
00:12:13.140
to uncover what your history books perhaps won't tell you about the ancient past.
00:12:22.020
Many of these extraordinary megalithic sites around the world were built in the age before the flood.
00:12:27.800
The ancient Egyptians and the Greeks and the Romans and all the rest of them, they believe that the very same thing occurred.
00:12:33.220
I don't even know if people are going to believe me when I say this.
00:12:35.320
When you started talking about the aliens and the antimatter, all the lights went off.

00:13:02.720
Trump had to withdraw his nominee for U.N. ambassador, Elise Stefanik, because the Republican congressional majority is too slim.
00:13:14.580
Okay, he posted this a few days ago now, but it's an important story.
00:13:19.240
I don't want to take a chance on anyone else running for Elise's seat in the House of Representatives.
00:13:22.860
So, the people, oh, he said it's essential that we maintain every Republican seat in Congress.
00:13:29.980
The people love Elise, and with her, we have nothing to worry about come Election Day.
00:13:33.960
There are others that can do a good job at the United Nations.
00:13:39.240
Seems like a cool job, because the job is basically just to showboat around some of the worst people on Earth.
00:13:47.260
You could plug and play a lot of people in there.
00:13:48.720
At least, Stefanik is a solid hold for a Republican seat in New York.
00:13:56.400
So, the withdrawal has nothing to do with Stefanik.
00:14:00.080
When President Trump withdrew his first Attorney General pick, Matt Gaetz, it was because Gaetz had baggage and the senators wouldn't vote for him.
00:14:09.040
Here, Stefanik doesn't have any baggage that matters to the senators.
00:14:19.500
Trump withdrew Stefanik before the Wisconsin Supreme Court win for the Democrats, the Wisconsin Supreme Court win that could even further imperil the Republican majority.
00:14:30.080
The silver lining from the elections yesterday is that the GOP held onto two seats in Florida in the House.
00:14:36.000
That's the seat held by, formerly held by Michael Waltz, the national security advisor under Trump.
00:14:40.760
And the seat previously held by Matt Gaetz, who, the aforementioned Matt Gaetz, who resigned from Congress after he was nominated for AG.
00:14:47.680
Then Trump withdrew him for AG, or he resigned, you know, he withdrew himself from the AG race, and now he has a TV show.
00:15:02.980
We would have been in a lot of trouble had a Democrat won those seats.
00:15:06.000
But this means that the Republican majority in Congress is real slim.
00:15:11.540
You've got natural headwinds against us in the midterm elections.
00:15:15.360
And if the election last night in Wisconsin is any indication, and if the Liberation Day turmoil is any indication, and if gamblers and betting markets are any indication, Republicans are going to face a tough time in the midterms.
00:15:34.280
Which means we have a closing window for Republican and conservative policies.
00:15:44.140
In principle, he was already a lame duck the minute he was elected to a second term.
00:15:48.380
Now, because Trump is a brilliant politician, and because Trump plays on unpredictability, he keeps floating out to the liberal media that he might run for a third term.
00:15:55.720
Yeah, maybe, I don't know, there are ways to do it.
00:15:59.840
Maybe I'll cross the Rubicon and inaugurate myself, Emperor Caesar Trump, and Barron will be Octavian, and he'll fight a war with Mark Antony.
00:16:08.960
I don't know, I don't know who Mark Antony would be in this case.
00:16:13.180
Anyway, my historical analogy is breaking down.
00:16:16.200
He keeps floating this out there so that he doesn't seem like a lame duck, which a second term president necessarily is.
00:16:21.880
This means that Trump is going to rush through policies, done an amazing job.
00:16:31.340
I don't know if we're tired of winning, but we are tired.
00:16:33.320
There's been so much good policy that comes out of the first two months.
00:16:41.200
And when Republicans, not when, if, if, I don't want to be too pessimistic, if Republicans lose that majority in the House,
00:16:52.020
But a lot of that policy that we're looking for, and a lot of the executive orders being codified into law,
00:16:58.460
which allows them to endure past the second Trump term, that's gone nowhere.
00:17:04.960
Democrat Cory Booker, I am Spartacus, a little histrionic, very theatrical.
00:17:11.000
Cory Booker spoke for 25 hours yesterday in the U.S. Senate.
00:17:17.080
This broke the record for the longest Senate floor speech.
00:17:30.400
However, usually when we cover an event like this, we would say it was the longest filibuster ever.
00:17:37.020
The way this is being covered in the media, it's the longest Senate floor speech ever.
00:17:42.660
Because usually, some people are going to ask, why are senators speaking for hours and hours on end anyway?
00:17:48.220
The reason that they do it is to filibuster legislation.
00:17:52.400
So if there's some law coming down the pike that they don't like, a senator, just a single senator,
00:17:57.200
can get up there and gum up the works, can hold up that legislation,
00:18:01.600
and in so doing, raise popular awareness about the legislation by just speaking forever.
00:18:08.300
As long as he can stand in his vocal cords work, he can stand up there and read the phone book.
00:18:11.880
He can read Green Eggs and Ham like Ted Cruz did.
00:18:23.520
The whole process is quite theatrical, but at least it serves an actual legislative function usually.
00:18:29.720
In this case, Cory Booker wasn't serving any legislative function.
00:18:37.380
It so sums up not only Cory Booker's political career, but just the Democrats right now broadly.
00:18:46.780
I've said for years on this show, I've said since I think maybe the first episode of my show,
00:18:51.780
that one of the defining features of the left is that they want the appearance of the thing,
00:18:57.840
So they want marriage, but they don't want sexual difference in babies.
00:19:09.120
They don't want the thing that makes the thing what it is.
00:19:12.360
In this case, Cory Booker, he wanted the headlines.
00:19:14.080
He wanted to have the record for the longest floor speech.
00:19:17.280
He wanted to seem, I don't know, like he's Mr. Smith goes to Washington.
00:19:30.400
At least wait until the Republicans have some bill.
00:19:33.380
But what's he going to, this is the big problem.
00:19:34.820
The reason that Cory Booker can't do his big histrionic show to try to launch his next presidential campaign
00:19:39.760
on legislation is because the legislation that Trump is advancing is very popular.
00:19:47.900
What's he going to, he's going to filibuster the Lake and Riley Act?
00:19:54.480
So he just gives this long speech vaguely about executive orders that he can't impede from the Senate
00:20:05.960
This is my silver lining, is I'm warning you all that the midterms are going to be brutal
00:20:09.560
and we got a bad sign about it yesterday and, you know, the world is falling to pot
00:20:15.660
The silver lining here is the Democrats have nothing.
00:20:20.640
Even when they're, not only are they not advancing anything, they're not even stopping anything.
00:20:26.140
Now, speaking of Congress, a rabbi has just testified to federal legislators
00:20:41.900
Anti-Semitism is not just an age-old prejudice.
00:20:44.920
It is a contemporary crisis manifesting on campuses across the nation.
00:20:50.740
It is not enough for individuals or institutions to merely claim they are not anti-Semitic.
00:20:55.520
As my father once taught me, it is not enough for people, especially public figures,
00:21:05.800
We must demand the same of our universities and government institutions.
00:21:09.380
This hearing, in my opinion, is an attempt to be just that.
00:21:15.800
So many people, especially on the right, are comparing this guy to Ibram Kendi.
00:21:20.340
Because Ibram Kendi says, it's not enough not to be racist.
00:21:27.900
And anti-Semitism is this particular form of racism.
00:21:31.360
It's particular to the Jews because the Jews are a tribe.
00:21:34.040
A tribe in the sense that we don't really have any more in modernity.
00:21:38.680
It's both a religious group and an ethnicity, kind of.
00:21:43.320
It's made up of multiple ethnicities, but it's still, there's a physical aspect to it.
00:21:49.760
And a cultural, religious, ideological aspect to it as well.
00:21:54.500
So we just, there just aren't a lot of examples of that.
00:21:57.140
In fact, the Jews might, in many ways, are a singular people and in this way too.
00:22:01.800
So it's, the analogy I think is fair to compare anti-anti-Semitism to anti-racism.
00:22:08.540
And it's why I think a lot of conservatives are recoiling.
00:22:13.640
You know, that kind of commentary is totally fine, ideological.
00:22:22.820
The rabbi is saying, look, there's a lot of anti-Jew stuff going on.
00:22:39.880
Not only from an abstract ideological perspective, but even from a Jewish perspective.
00:22:45.800
I don't think it is good for the Jews for people to be anti-anti-Semitic.
00:22:53.060
Because the problem that this rabbi, I think, is addressing is that people are blaming the Jews for everything.
00:22:59.560
You know, actually in the phrase of a white supremacist, Sam Francis, who was a very mainstream right-wing columnist.
00:23:09.060
And then he became kind of a white supremacist at the end of his life.
00:23:11.980
Which, you know, puts a little stain on his memory in most quarters.
00:23:15.780
But there was a famous exchange where he was writing some neo-Nazi type guy wrote to him and was complaining that Sam Francis, pretty hardcore fella, didn't blame the Jews enough for enough things.
00:23:28.180
And Francis' response was, you people, you're so tedious.
00:23:32.560
You know, you wake up and stub your toe in the morning and you blame the Jews.
00:23:39.700
This kind of ticking up of blaming the Jews for just about everything.
00:23:44.100
And if that is the case, then you don't want people to be anti-anti-Semitic.
00:23:49.740
In other words, the prudential solution to people blaming the Jews for everything is not people thanking the Jews for everything, which is really what that is.
00:24:02.120
Anti-anti-Semitism is, or would that be, philo-Semitism?
00:24:06.580
But the answer to blaming the Jews for everything, thinking about the Jews all the time with regard to every single subject, as some people do.
00:24:15.600
The answer to that is not thinking about the Jews with regard to every single subject and just saying they're good.
00:24:23.300
You guys are wrong for pinning everything on the Jews and saying it's bad.
00:24:26.740
I pin everything on the Jews and say that it's good.
00:24:29.320
The answer is, don't think about the Jews 24 hours a day.
00:24:36.160
The answer is what he's invading against, which is just not being anti-Semitic.
00:24:39.780
It's not, I think it was Mr. Davies' observation that some of the Jews stuff is like, it's kind of like climate change.
00:24:50.640
And as I pointed out, that makes sense because the Jews obviously control the weather.
00:24:53.720
So it's kind of like the new climate change, you know.
00:24:57.260
The polar ice caps are melting, it's climate change.
00:24:59.840
The L.A. burned down because they don't have deforestation policies.
00:25:05.300
Oh, actually, the Obama administration screwed up its tax policy.
00:25:15.920
So the rabbi can be wrong ideologically and in principle or whatever.
00:25:22.080
But prudence is the paramount political virtue.
00:25:25.360
Just even prudentially, very pragmatically for everyone involved, including and especially the Jews.
00:25:35.240
You don't want anti-anti-anti-anti-anti-antisemitism.
00:25:37.420
You want to just, like, be normal and recognize there are other things in the world to do and think about.
00:25:45.600
That doesn't have to occupy your mind like 24 hours a day.
00:25:50.220
First, though, go to tecovis.com slash Knowles.
00:25:53.880
You know what they say, anywhere worth going is worth going in good boots.
00:26:02.360
They're a testament to craftsmanship that speaks to both generational ranchers and first-time boot enthusiasts alike.
00:26:10.960
They have become one of the biggest names in boots, and they're fabulous.
00:26:14.800
I know a lot of you out there are going to wear cowboy boots.
00:26:20.360
I wear them about once or twice a year when I work up the courage.
00:26:22.700
But what I really wear from Tecovis, the Monterey shoes in Midnight Bison.
00:26:28.140
Now, I have actually a fair number of nice shoes from wardrobe and things like that.
00:26:32.400
I wore these shoes, these new shoes from Tecovis.
00:26:35.720
I don't know that I've ever gotten more compliments on a pair of shoes in my life.
00:26:43.020
It's almost like a Prince Albert slipper, you know, the kind you'd wear to a cigar bar, but it's much more versatile.
00:26:48.040
They're just fabulous, and the price cannot be beat.
00:26:50.180
I don't know why they're priced so well for that quality of leather, that kind of design.

Speaking of anti-Jewish protests, I'm already breaking my rule and continuing to talk about it like that rabbi says I should.
00:27:15.300
Columbia graduates are tearing up their diplomas to protest the arrest of that anti-Israel activist who had been a Columbia student, then he graduated.
00:27:43.580
So first of all, the minute I see these super lib girls tearing up their Columbia degree, my first reaction, this is a little bit inside baseball, I bet they went to Barnard.
00:27:53.840
Okay, Barnard, for those who don't pay attention to these, Barnard was the sister school of Columbia, and it's easier to get into.
00:28:01.700
But you get, technically, you get a Columbia degree if you graduate.
00:28:12.360
I'm not even convinced those are real Columbia degrees.
00:28:16.540
Let's say these people actually graduated from Columbia.
00:28:20.940
That's a perfectly understandable and reasonable thing to do, because those diplomas are worthless.
00:28:29.900
It was substantially about how little Ivy League degrees really convey in terms of a person's intelligence and education today.
00:28:41.860
They used to actually suggest something about a person's intelligence and education.
00:28:46.160
Today, though, Harvard is announcing the need for remedial math courses, okay, because Harvard students can't do basic algebra.
00:28:56.560
In fact, the point of my speech yesterday is that the average New Haven resident sitting in Sally's Pizza down the street has a better grasp on reality than the average Yale graduate.
00:29:08.100
Because the New Haven resident, the average New Haven resident sitting in the pizza shop here, might not have read the phenomenology of spirit in the original German.
00:29:18.320
That person does know that nations have borders.
00:29:20.920
That nation does know that criminals belong in prisons.
00:29:23.720
The average Yale graduate doesn't know any of those things.
00:29:25.860
Doesn't know really basic stuff about what the human person is, how we function in society.
00:29:34.860
I really do love my alma mater, even though it's a little kooky a lot of the time.
00:29:39.000
Columbia makes Yale look like the most reasonable institution in the world.
00:29:47.620
They're protesting that this guy got deported because he was a grad student and he protested Israel.
00:29:52.460
And the protests were not only protesting Israel, but actually harassing Jewish students.
00:29:58.120
There are serious debates to be had over the state of Israel, over Gaza, over free speech on campus,
00:30:04.200
which is a separate issue, but it's related in this case.
00:30:07.000
Something I think we can all agree on, though, is that those diplomas are worthless.
00:30:18.320
Speaking of deportations, you probably heard from your liberal cousin who's posting this all over Facebook and Twitter and Instagram
00:30:25.820
and shouting it to you from the rooftop, that the Trump administration mistakenly deported someone.
00:30:33.220
These mass deportations, the Trump admin mistakenly deported a Maryland father named Kilmar Armando Abrego,
00:30:41.000
mistakenly deported him to El Salvador, and this is the worst thing that's ever happened in the world.
00:30:53.540
And the Trump administration is admitting in a court filing that they did mistakenly deport this guy.
00:31:00.320
The filing comes as a result of this lawsuit over this guy's removal.
00:31:05.700
He's a Salvadoran national who, in 2019, was granted protected status by an immigration judge,
00:31:13.300
prohibiting the federal government from sending him to El Salvador.
00:31:17.640
So they're saying, see, because this one guy who had legal protected status, he was a Salvadoran national.
00:31:24.660
Pretty easy to mistake him for an illegal alien.
00:31:26.520
But he did have protected status, and he was deported, and, you know, that's bad,
00:31:34.440
and that's why we need to stop deporting any illegal alien, including the face-tattooed Satan-worshipping gangsters.
00:31:41.520
The best you can find amid a relatively large number of deportations, rapid deportations within two months,
00:31:49.160
the best you can find is one guy who slipped through the cracks?
00:31:52.220
That is not an argument against the mass deportations.
00:31:55.140
That is an argument for the efficiency and effectiveness of it.
00:32:03.900
And so the libs are going to say, well, this is terrible.
00:32:05.240
We can't tolerate this enforcing of the law, of immigration law,
00:32:10.120
because one guy accidentally was deported, and it might take a little bit to get him back.
00:32:15.680
Okay, well, let's apply that logic to mass migration.
00:32:18.680
The Democrats have intentionally engaged in a process of mass illegal migration, welcomed the invasion across the border.
00:32:29.620
Trump stopped it pretty much on day one, without any new laws, without anything.
00:32:35.740
And you know who slipped through the cracks there?
00:32:41.700
The illegal aliens who have murdered and raped and attempted to rape and then murdered many, many innocent young American girls.
00:32:53.840
I think that's a pretty strong argument, actually, to stop mass migration.
00:32:58.740
The 75,000 Americans a year who were poisoned and killed because of fentanyl that crossed that border illegally.
00:33:05.220
Is that, that's a pretty strong argument for shutting down mass migration.
00:33:20.300
The millions and millions and millions of economic migrants who come across and depress American wages
00:33:24.940
and cause great injustice to the American worker and cause big cultural problems
00:33:32.000
and make us press one for English and seriously threaten cultural assimilation
00:33:36.360
because we have the highest foreign-born percentage for the population that we've ever had in America.
00:33:41.120
What about, what about that slipping through the cracks?
00:33:43.160
You won't hear Democrats say a peep about any of those things.
00:33:46.280
But one guy who somewhat recently was granted protected status by some immigration judge.
00:33:53.100
That guy, one guy slips through the cracks, we have to stop enforcing all immigration law.
00:34:01.460
And I feel for the guy, and I hope he gets to come back.
00:34:03.860
I hope it's relatively easy for the guy to come back.
00:34:08.240
But, you know, if you sneak into this country illegally,
00:34:15.160
And sometimes bad things are going to happen to you.
00:34:19.000
Yesterday, our colleague Matt Walsh testified before the California Assembly
00:34:23.280
on legislation to ban male students from competing in women's sports,

My favorite comment yesterday is from Naomi Garrett 50, who says,
00:34:53.980
Michael, we need you to do a whole podcast episode in that French accent.
00:34:59.760
Did I use a French accent yesterday, Mr. Davies?
00:35:06.100
I don't even remember what that was in service of.
00:35:15.580
My French is so bad, but my accent is so over the top and outrageous.
00:35:20.480
Some people actually think I speak that language.
00:35:27.620
there's a bill going through the Colorado legislature,
00:35:34.440
that would categorize dead naming that is referring to someone by his name,
00:35:43.980
not the name that he makes up for himself later on.
00:35:46.720
It would categorize dead naming as child abuse.
00:35:54.720
would direct courts that are making child custody decisions,
00:36:12.380
or threatening to publish material related to an individual's sex change services
00:36:31.560
we've heard a lot of stories like this are not,
00:36:43.940
and pretend that my son is actually a daughter.
00:36:46.740
And the mother goes to the judge in Colorado and says,
00:37:16.580
Think about it from the perspective of the libs.
00:37:22.860
Verbal abuse is already considered a form of child abuse.
00:37:32.680
can be and are considered in many places abusive.
00:38:12.620
and a father's going to lose custody of his kid?
00:38:48.940
We're talking about chopping off various appendages.
00:39:59.200
then the minute that political winds change again,
00:40:28.420
Noor Siddiqui is creating lots and lots of human beings,
00:40:39.580
And then we'll just kill all of her other babies.
