00:00:49.420 President Trump has officially been back in office for 100 days.
00:00:54.060 And to celebrate, he completely owned a lib at a rally in Michigan.
00:01:00.520 It's so great.
00:01:01.640 What's the problem over there?
00:01:03.580 What's the problem?
00:01:04.900 Is that a radical left lunatic?
00:01:09.160 He's just a child.
00:01:11.500 All right, get him out.
00:01:12.620 Yeah.
00:01:13.620 Oh, I'm sorry.
00:01:15.120 I'm sorry, ma'am.
00:01:16.860 I thought it was a guy.
00:01:19.440 Thank you.
00:01:20.280 Thank you.
00:01:20.340 Thank you.
00:01:24.060 And she now has to go home to a mother who's a big Trump fan.
00:01:29.380 Her mother's watching.
00:01:33.620 I'm sorry.
00:01:35.600 I'm sorry.
00:01:37.620 I said he and it's a she.
00:01:39.960 I'm sorry.
00:01:42.480 To keep my promise to the great state of Michigan.
00:01:45.700 It's like watching Mick Jagger play Satisfaction.
00:01:49.340 He gets up there.
00:01:50.440 And who we have here?
00:01:51.560 Is that a radical left lunatic?
00:01:54.660 Woo.
00:01:55.920 Oh, yeah.
00:01:56.700 Look at him.
00:01:57.420 Oh, it's a she.
00:01:59.300 I said he, but it's a she.
00:02:01.380 Woo.
00:02:02.320 Guess what?
00:02:04.180 His mom's a fan of Trump.
00:02:05.880 Bah!
00:02:06.240 You got to just.
00:02:11.000 You got to drink it in, kids.
00:02:12.820 You got to drink it in.

00:02:17.960 A mere 1,360 days from now, President Trump's second term is going to end.
00:02:25.020 With any luck, the third term will begin, then the fourth and the fifth.

00:02:36.280 realignment and the new coalitions, just take a moment to savor.

00:03:55.080 It was a great rally.
00:03:56.360 It was, Trump did his 100 day rally.
00:03:59.240 I guess it was technically on day 99, but it's so that we could all be talking about
00:04:02.860 it on the 100th day of his second term.
00:04:05.620 And he played all the hits.
00:04:07.980 He did, he played the radical left lunatics.
00:04:10.360 He played the gender ideology.
00:04:12.540 He played the, your family actually loves Trump.
00:04:15.840 People secretly love Trump.
00:04:17.080 Now Trump won the popular vote.
00:04:18.620 He also touted an important initiative he announced a couple of days ago.
00:04:23.560 Christopher Columbus is back.
00:04:27.060 And you Italians are going to love me because just yesterday I brought back Columbus Day
00:04:31.920 in America, especially for Italian Americans who were so badly treated by entry mobile.
00:04:37.420 Abolish term limits.
00:04:40.180 That's it.
00:04:41.240 Get rid of the 22nd amendment.
00:04:43.380 That's what put me over the edge.
00:04:46.360 Because the Italian Americans have been very poorly treated.
00:04:50.040 But it's not just the Italian Americans who suffered because the Libs hated Columbus Day.
00:04:54.800 It's all of us because Columbus is the symbol of, of the modern West, of the West reaching
00:05:03.680 the peak of its power, the age of exploration, a devout Catholic, a brave Italian explorer who
00:05:09.460 discovered America is what he did.
00:05:11.300 I just love it.
00:05:12.760 I love it.
00:05:13.340 And while people get lost in all the minutiae of Trump's policies, I don't like this economic
00:05:19.140 policy or I don't, they deported this gangster who I really liked or no, they shouldn't do
00:05:24.320 this or that.
00:05:24.940 Just look at the broad, just look at the imagery here.
00:05:27.540 Look at what Trump's broader political project is about.
00:05:31.020 It is actually about making America great.
00:05:33.060 Again, you see the USA signs behind him.
00:05:35.460 You see the red, white, and blue.
00:05:36.960 You see it's Trump hugging the American flag.
00:05:39.500 That's what it's about.
00:05:40.360 That's what people are cheering.
00:05:41.220 There are a lot of successful policies that go along with that message, but that's the
00:05:46.220 message.
00:05:47.140 And the left has the opposite message.
00:05:48.760 The left's message on Columbus, Columbus is crucial to this, is America's bad, the West
00:05:54.120 is bad, Christianity is bad, it's all oppressive, it's all evil, we've got to get rid of all
00:05:59.460 of it, we're bad, everything that we love is bad and we need to dispose of it as quickly
00:06:05.840 as possible.
00:06:06.360 That's what the left is saying.
00:06:08.160 And Trump says, no, I'm going to hug and kiss the American flag.
00:06:10.380 That's what it's about.
00:06:11.420 And you gotta, you can love the individual policies, there's a lot of good policy stuff,
00:06:15.520 but for me, politics is not just about policy.
00:06:18.440 It includes policy, you want good policy, but I'm not one of these nerds, one of these
00:06:21.900 eggheads with spreadsheets who says, actually, all I care about is just policy and all I
00:06:26.940 really, I just want the government to be run by a bunch of bow tie wearing think tank
00:06:30.660 scholars forever.
00:06:31.860 No, I want Thumos, baby.
00:06:34.840 I want spirit.
00:06:35.920 That's what I want.
00:06:37.640 I want Trump making fun of the radical left lunatics and I want him talking about what
00:06:42.020 a great guy Columbus was and how Italian Americans in particular should be upset about the left
00:06:46.940 going after Columbus.
00:06:48.340 I want to hug the American flag, okay?
00:06:51.100 That's what this is about.
00:06:51.960 You gotta drink it.
00:06:52.580 That's what I'm saying.
00:06:53.080 You gotta drink in.
00:06:53.740 We want to keep Trump's many executive orders.
00:06:57.140 We want the Congress to pass some of those at least into law.
00:07:00.720 We want there to be a successor to carry on the legacy.
00:07:03.980 We want to keep winning elections, but want that spirit.
00:07:08.480 I want to remember how rejuvenating, truly in a deep sense of that word, how rejuvenating
00:07:14.280 this is.
00:07:14.620 America's 250 years old next year and we got to feel young again.
00:07:20.320 We started to feel decrepit and old and we want to feel young again, okay?
00:07:23.740 And that means we got to really focus in on who we are.
00:07:27.180 The left has tried to change that.
00:07:29.300 So the left tried to replace the 4th of July, our Independence Day, with a new Independence
00:07:33.500 Day called Juneteenth.
00:07:35.140 They did this under Biden.
00:07:37.660 The original Independence Day was to commemorate the signing of the Declaration of Independence
00:07:42.880 and the beginning of the American Revolution and this country that was founded on the
00:07:49.320 recognition that God has endowed us with certain natural rights and an appeal to heaven
00:07:53.540 and all the rest of it.
00:07:54.840 Then the new Independence Day that the Libs tried to foist on us four years ago says,
00:07:59.100 actually, America's really racist and evil and we've never really gotten over our original
00:08:04.020 sin of slavery and we need to get rid of all the stuff from the past so that black people
00:08:10.400 can finally be free.
00:08:11.260 And when black people are really just being used as an instrument for a broader narrative
00:08:18.520 of the liberation from oppression, a kind of radical liberal leftist narrative.
00:08:23.840 Well, good news on that front.
00:08:26.620 At least one Juneteenth celebration is fallen by the wayside.
00:08:33.120 Indianapolis has canceled Juneteenth.
00:08:35.040 Indianapolis will not hold its Juneteenth parade.
00:08:39.780 I don't know how many times it has held a Juneteenth parade, but it's not going to hold it this
00:08:42.940 year because of scheduling conflicts and other events in the city and just logistics.
00:08:50.000 And I don't think that's why Juneteenth is a little more muted this year, not just in
00:08:56.340 Indianapolis, but around the country.
00:08:57.740 Juneteenth, the Libs tell us, was to celebrate the emancipation of the black slaves.
00:09:04.420 That isn't true.
00:09:06.000 That's literally not what it celebrates.
00:09:07.820 It celebrates the day that a mailman finally arrived in Texas after the Emancipation Proclamation,
00:09:15.580 but before the 13th Amendment, either of which events could plausibly be pointed to as the
00:09:21.520 day of emancipation.
00:09:23.280 But it's really, it's neither of those.
00:09:25.460 It's just a mailman got to Texas, pretty much.
00:09:28.440 And Juneteenth, or a celebration of emancipation, actually could not take place,
00:09:34.960 according to the left's ideology, on the day of the Emancipation Proclamation.
00:09:40.320 Because then you would be saying that Abraham Lincoln freed the slaves,
00:09:43.180 and we're not allowed to say that anymore.
00:09:44.220 The left will actually say Abraham Lincoln did not free the slaves.
00:09:47.660 The slaves freed themselves.
00:09:49.520 It can't be that white man, that white savior who came in and freed the slaves.
00:09:52.560 It wasn't him.
00:09:53.320 Forget about Lincoln.
00:09:53.940 Likewise, for the same reason, you couldn't point to the 13th Amendment, which actually freed the
00:09:59.660 slaves.
00:10:00.520 It has to be this contrived thing.
00:10:03.280 Juneteenth actually began, not to celebrate black people, and not to celebrate freedom,
00:10:08.500 and not to—Juneteenth took off in earnest in the United States as an offshoot of the BLM
00:10:14.020 movement.
00:10:14.460 That's what it's about.
00:10:15.080 BLM, which was not founded by American patriots, BLM was run by radical Marxists, and self-described
00:10:21.200 Marxists.
00:10:21.840 I'm not reading into their psyches.
00:10:23.460 That's just what they say they are.
00:10:25.980 Juneteenth started to catch some steam in the 20-teens as the BLM movement was growing.
00:10:32.640 Don't forget, the BLM movement didn't start with George Floyd.
00:10:34.520 BLM movement started with Trayvon Martin.
00:10:36.180 And who was the one?
00:10:38.860 Michael Brown.
00:10:40.000 All of these hoaxes.
00:10:41.840 These hoaxes where racial hucksters came out and said that poor, innocent black children
00:10:49.920 were being murdered execution style by racist white KKK members.
00:10:54.940 And then we found out, actually, in the case of Trayvon Martin, George Zimmerman was a Hispanic
00:10:58.820 guy.
00:10:59.300 So then the liberal media tried to rewrite it.
00:11:01.640 They said, well, he's a white Hispanic.
00:11:03.680 I don't know what is a white Hispanic now.
00:11:05.540 Well, don't ignore that he's Hispanic.
00:11:07.400 He's a white guy.
00:11:08.500 And then, actually, the guy had bruises all over his head because Trayvon Martin was pummeling
00:11:12.220 his head against the ground.
00:11:13.180 Anyway, so that was that one.
00:11:14.580 And then with Michael Brown, that was even more preposterous because Michael Brown had
00:11:17.700 just robbed a store and then was threatening a cop, grabbed the cop's gun, discharged the
00:11:21.920 weapon.
00:11:22.540 The cop still let the guy go away.
00:11:24.240 And then he started charging at the cop.
00:11:25.720 Then and only then did the cop shoot him.
00:11:27.600 All of these hoax narratives took off.
00:11:29.360 It reached its apotheosis during George Floyd, which was also completely misrepresented.
00:11:35.360 In the media, that was the BLM movement.
00:11:38.920 And it is no coincidence that BLM really started to gain some national traction 2017, 2018.
00:11:43.820 This is in the years following the Trayvon Martin and Michael Brown incidents.
00:11:46.720 And then it was declared a National Independence Day.
00:11:49.700 When I say the purpose of Juneteenth was to replace Independence Day, the 4th of July, that's my
00:11:56.420 evidence, is that when Joe Biden signed it into law, he called it the Juneteenth National
00:12:01.880 Independence Day Act.
00:12:03.700 So now we have two Independence Days?
00:12:06.140 No.
00:12:06.700 Clearly, this new one is supposed to replace the old one.
00:12:09.340 That was in 2021.
00:12:10.580 This is very recent.
00:12:13.900 It has nothing to do with true freedom.
00:12:15.540 It has nothing to do with any true dignity of black people.
00:12:18.660 This is a radically leftist feast day for a radical, liberal, liturgical calendar.
00:12:27.460 And it's falling by the wayside.
00:12:29.720 And it's very good that it's falling by the wayside.
00:12:31.800 And it's actually predictable that it's falling by the wayside.
00:12:34.960 Juneteenth lived by BLM.
00:12:36.920 It will very possibly die by BLM.
00:12:39.640 As BLM diminishes in people's estimation, as we begin to reevaluate that period, 2020,
00:12:48.220 2021, the riots, the looting, the murders, the horror that the left inflicted on us after
00:12:54.540 the George Floyd incident, as that diminishes in people's estimation, so too will Juneteenth.
00:13:00.720 So too will the groups that promote Juneteenth, namely the BLM groups and the anarchist groups
00:13:04.660 and the Marxist groups.
00:13:05.480 No surprise here.
00:13:07.480 It's a return to normal.
00:13:10.040 When you have a record number of black guys voting for the Republican, as happened in
00:13:14.180 2024 in the election for Trump, you realize there's been a shift in the racial narrative.
00:13:21.040 Really good news.
00:13:23.300 We will get back to my pearls of wisdom in one moment.
00:13:26.020 First, though, you need to go to TakeLean.com.
00:13:29.200 Use promo code Michael, M-I-C-H-A-E-L, 20.
00:13:32.400 Lean is not just another injectable weight loss solution.
00:13:36.620 It's something entirely different.
00:13:38.820 Lean was developed by medical and academic professionals as an alternative to GLP-1 medications,
00:13:44.300 eliminating the need for injections.
00:13:46.140 Research on the components in Lean demonstrates their ability to regulate glucose levels,
00:13:51.280 significantly decrease hunger sensations, and enhance metabolism by utilizing fat stores
00:13:55.800 as an energy source.
00:13:56.740 Real people have seen real results.
00:13:59.000 Lori M wrote, quote,
00:14:00.780 I've struggled to get weight off, and Lean has been a lifesaver.
00:14:04.360 I've been losing a couple pounds a week or more.
00:14:06.320 Kelly F said, amazing.
00:14:07.340 I immediately noticed an energy boost and a healthy loss in weight.
00:14:11.440 I would promote this product to anyone.
00:14:14.360 I know a lot of people who struggle with weight.
00:14:16.940 This is something you really need to look into.
00:14:19.900 Because if you or someone you know is struggling to lose weight and a healthy diet and exercise
00:14:25.280 does not seem to be enough, Lean might just be for you.

00:14:46.520 It's not a substitute for care from a health care provider.
00:14:50.020 Speaking of racial politics, Wanda Sykes, an alleged comedian,
00:14:55.980 she made some splash about 15 or 20 years ago.
00:14:59.300 She was kind of a known thing.
00:15:00.780 She hasn't done a lot recently.
00:15:02.260 But Wanda Sykes was on the Stephen Colbert Late Show,
00:15:04.840 and she insisted that white people ought to be embarrassed over Donald Trump.
00:15:10.800 So it's just embarrassing.
00:15:13.040 Actually, the whole administration is just embarrassing, incompetent, corrupt.
00:15:18.520 I mean, I mean, I have to say white people, y'all really should be embarrassed by this.
00:15:27.500 You really should be.
00:15:29.000 Y'all really need to do something.
00:15:30.780 Seriously.
00:15:31.520 Because this is embarrassing.
00:15:33.840 See, and I know you say, well, Wanda, why is it a white people?
00:15:35.980 Because we tried to tell y'all.
00:15:37.660 We tried to tell you.
00:15:39.300 We tried to tell you.
00:15:40.800 We tried.
00:15:41.300 And y'all didn't want to listen.
00:15:42.420 So now this is your problem.
00:15:44.360 It's just so tired.
00:15:47.080 It feels dated.
00:15:48.720 When I point out that Wanda Sykes kind of made a splash 15, 20 years ago, hasn't done a lot recently.
00:15:54.120 I don't mean to take a pot shot at her or anything like that.
00:15:58.640 Plenty of comedians have a moment and then they go away.
00:16:00.980 But this is part of the reason why.
00:16:03.180 This is a joke from 10 or 15 years ago.
00:16:05.520 The joke doesn't make sense when a record number of black guys vote for the Republican.
00:16:15.240 Say, well, listen, we black people, we tried to tell you.
00:16:17.600 We tried.
00:16:18.360 No, you didn't.
00:16:18.940 You voted for him.
00:16:20.180 You didn't.
00:16:20.940 That might have been true under, I don't know, during the Mitt Romney election, during the John McCain election.
00:16:27.220 But that actually isn't true for Trump.
00:16:29.400 He got a record number of black guys to vote for him.
00:16:31.400 So it doesn't, oh, well, forget about the black people.
00:16:35.240 Just we, racial minorities, we tried to tell you.
00:16:37.540 No, you didn't.
00:16:38.260 You voted for him.
00:16:38.860 46% of Hispanics voted for the guy.
00:16:41.740 Oh, well, we, huh.
00:16:45.000 It just doesn't work.
00:16:45.940 The reason the joke doesn't work is not that it's a left-wing joke.
00:16:50.260 The reason that the joke doesn't work is because it's not grounded in reality and it's easily refuted by the exit polls.
00:16:58.920 And it's not just why the joke doesn't work.
00:17:00.760 It's why Democrat campaign tactics don't work right now.
00:17:05.080 Because the ground has shifted under the Democrats' feet.
00:17:09.440 The Democrats had leaned so far into ideology through things like the BLM riots, the gender ideology, the radical candidates.
00:17:18.380 It had lost its footing anyway.
00:17:21.220 Then the ground shifted underneath the feet of the Democrats.
00:17:23.920 And now the Dems are trying to do the same song and dance that they've been doing for 20 years.
00:17:27.520 But it just doesn't, they have no, there's no ground for it.
00:17:29.400 They can't, the tap shoes aren't clicking on anything.
00:17:32.960 And so they're flailing around.
00:17:34.800 And Stephen Colbert's audience of SEALs might clap for that.
00:17:37.920 But the American people don't really.
00:17:41.060 It's passé.
00:17:41.960 And Trump is capitalizing on the Democrats being off-footed.
00:17:49.220 The biggest win he got in yesterday.
00:17:51.800 Trump was in Michigan and he was celebrating the funding of a National Guard base, Selfridge Air National Guard base.
00:17:59.520 So he's in Michigan.
00:18:01.660 Governor of Michigan is a huge Democrat.
00:18:05.600 Gretchen Whitmer, some call her Whittler because she's a very extreme and unpleasant politician.
00:18:11.480 He shows up there and a lesser Republican politician would ignore her.
00:18:17.040 A lesser Republican politician might take a pot shot at her.
00:18:20.120 But Trump, realizing the moment, realizing what time it is, having a good instinct for comedy and for show business and for politics, all of which are really tied in together, he decides, no.
00:18:34.120 He's going to praise her.
00:18:35.220 I'm not supposed to do that.
00:18:37.980 She's a Democrat.
00:18:38.980 They say, don't do that.
00:18:40.060 Don't have her here.
00:18:40.900 I said, no, she's going to be here.
00:18:42.180 She's done a very good job, frankly.
00:18:44.960 And she was very much involved with the Republicans.
00:18:48.820 They worked together on saving it.
00:18:50.400 And it was not easy.
00:18:52.320 So I want to thank you very much, Gretchen.
00:18:54.200 Good job.
00:18:54.900 Thank you.
00:19:00.440 There she goes.
00:19:01.660 No, come on, Gretchen.
00:19:02.600 Come on.
00:19:02.960 Give some remarks.
00:19:03.720 Do I have to?
00:19:04.640 Well, I didn't plan to speak, but on behalf of all the military men and women who serve our country and serve so honorably on behalf of the state of Michigan, I am really damn happy we're here to celebrate this recapitalization at Selfridge.
00:19:19.720 It's crucial for the Michigan economy.
00:19:21.720 It's crucial for the men and women here, for our homeland security and our future.
00:19:26.120 So thank you.
00:19:27.280 I am so, so grateful that this announcement was made today.
00:19:31.380 And I appreciate all the work.
00:19:32.300 Thank you.
00:19:34.640 I am so grateful that, and she's looking at Trump and she doesn't know how to finish her sentence.
00:19:42.300 I am so happy that Trump did this, that Trump funded this, that Trump announced this, that I can't put Trump in the sentence.
00:19:50.240 I'm so grateful that this announcement was made today.
00:19:57.700 Made by whom, Gretchen?
00:20:00.360 That's an odd use of the passive voice.
00:20:02.800 Why?
00:20:03.600 I thought you wanted to use an economy of words and strong rhetoric.
00:20:06.440 Why would you put that?
00:20:07.900 I am so glad that this thing was said.
00:20:09.540 I'm sure you're very glad that this podcast was produced, and that this news was heard, and that your iPhone was held, and your AirPods were inserted.
00:20:25.100 That's a very strange use of the passive voice.
00:20:27.140 But she's so off-footed by this, and Trump, it's just so delightful, because he gets up there and goes, look, I'm not supposed to do this.
00:20:35.880 They all told me, don't do this, Trump.
00:20:39.920 Don't be nice to the Democrat.
00:20:41.860 But I said I have to, because, and then what does he do?
00:20:45.180 He looks down at his paper to read the pre-written remarks verbatim.
00:20:50.620 In other words, they didn't tell him not to say nice things about Whitmer.
00:20:55.700 This was planned.
00:20:57.260 He said, no, I'm definitely going to say nice things about Whitmer, because that's the best way I can shiv this woman.
00:21:02.400 He goes, and he doesn't call her Governor Whitmer.
00:21:05.680 Oh, Gretchen.
00:21:06.880 It's his bosom buddy there.
00:21:08.040 Gretchen, oh, hey, Gretch.
00:21:09.980 Hey, Gretch, I just really want to thank you.
00:21:11.740 A lot of people don't know this.
00:21:12.540 Gretch worked with all the Republicans.
00:21:14.460 Oh, yeah, she's great to work with, actually.
00:21:16.320 We Republicans love her, and she loves us.
00:21:18.780 Good old Gretchy.
00:21:20.600 Good old Wayne Gretchy, we call her.
00:21:22.920 She's so good at working with Republicans.
00:21:24.780 She's so talented.
00:21:26.300 Oh, yeah.
00:21:26.820 Anyway, Gretch, get on up here.
00:21:28.700 She's so angry.
00:21:31.260 Please don't do this to me.
00:21:33.000 Why are you doing this to me?
00:21:34.880 I didn't plan to speak.
00:21:37.640 Great stuff.
00:21:38.320 Now, all of that to say, this is not necessarily bad for Whitmer.
00:21:46.660 Moderating, seeming like you're friends with some of the Trump people.
00:21:49.380 That is actually a political strategy that certain Democrats who want to be president
00:21:54.040 are consciously undertaking.
00:21:56.360 Gavin Newsom is doing that.
00:21:57.780 Gavin Newsom started a podcast so that he could try to befriend Charlie Kirk and Steve
00:22:01.900 Bannon and other people in the Trump orbit, so that he can move to the middle, so he can
00:22:05.340 take some ownership of MAGA, because MAGA was elected by popular vote.
00:22:09.040 And if you want to become the nominee of your party, it really helps to run against your
00:22:12.460 party, as Trump showed, as Obama showed, as these guys are trying to show.
00:22:18.780 So it's not—don't oversimplify this.
00:22:22.480 It's not that it is necessarily bad for Whitmer to be tied to Trump.
00:22:27.240 It's that it's a risk.
00:22:30.960 If the Trump administration is a big success—and it's hard.
00:22:35.720 At the end of two terms—we don't know about non-consecutive terms, because that's unusual—but
00:22:40.000 at the end of two terms, presidents are usually not that popular.
00:22:42.780 If the Trump administration is a success, if Trump is popular, then looking like you're
00:22:49.580 chummy-chummy with MAGA world, even as a Democrat, will be helpful.
00:22:54.320 If the Trump administration is unpopular, then looking chummy-chummy with Trump is fatal
00:23:00.620 to her.
00:23:01.080 She will not have a political career after that.
00:23:04.040 So it's a risk.
00:23:05.400 The Trump calculation here is not that I'm going to completely destroy Gretchen Whitmer.
00:23:11.080 It's that I'm going to tie her fate to mine.
00:23:13.860 I'm going to realign incentives for people like Whitmer, for people like Newsom, such that
00:23:19.580 if I succeed, they have a chance to succeed.
00:23:22.000 They need to want me to succeed.
00:23:23.580 But if I go down, I'm taking all these people down with me.
00:23:28.300 Beautiful rhetoric.
00:23:30.100 A really, really sharp way of talking.
00:23:32.920 I have much more to get to, but first, I want you to go to puretalk.com slash Knowles.

00:24:55.040 Speaking of Democrat undulations, competing tactics and strategies for the Democrats,
00:25:03.800 the Democrats might toss out their vice chairman, David Hogg.
00:25:07.460 David Hogg is that young man who attended a school that was the location of a school shooting,
00:25:12.940 and he saw his chance for fame, and he immediately decided to make himself the spokesman for these
00:25:17.960 students, go on as many liberal news networks as possible.
00:25:21.280 Ended up getting admitted to Harvard for that.
00:25:23.340 Didn't seem to have the academic qualifications, but he was really good at getting plaudits from
00:25:28.020 elite liberals, which is one of the main things that Harvard looks for and one of the main
00:25:33.520 things that people look to get out of Harvard.
00:25:34.820 So it was a natural fit.
00:25:36.460 He was admitted to Harvard, and then he ran for and won the vice chairmanship of the DNC.
00:25:44.460 And David Hogg wanted to shift the strategy of the Democrat National Committee to push young,
00:25:51.500 progressive, leftist candidates, so much so that he was willing to upend tradition in the DNC
00:25:58.480 and raise money to get involved in primaries.
00:26:02.020 David Hogg said he was going to spend $20 million primarying more moderate, there are no conservative
00:26:10.140 Democrats, but more moderate, normal-sounding Democrats, and trying to install younger leftist
00:26:17.240 Democrats.
00:26:18.580 Now, that is not the role of the National Party.
00:26:21.420 The National Party exists to help the nominees of that party beat the Democrats in general elections.
00:26:27.200 So David Hogg was really, but he said, doesn't matter, we need change, we got routed in the
00:26:31.820 election, and that's why you guys elected me.
00:26:35.020 Not so fast.
00:26:36.800 According to David Weigel at Semaphore, the DNC is considering voting to oust David Hogg.
00:26:43.160 They're going to hear a challenge next month by, get this, a Native American DNC member who
00:26:49.860 lost the vice chairman race and wants a new election because this person says that the
00:26:55.640 DNC ignored fairness and diversity rules.
00:26:59.120 In the complaint, which a Democrat shared with Semaphore, this person said she lost a, quote,
00:27:05.180 fatally flawed election that violated the DNC charter and discriminated against three women
00:27:11.400 of color candidates asking for two new vice chair elections.
00:27:15.880 They have to say chair because they can't say chairman anymore because even though man
00:27:19.640 is the gender-neutral noun to refer to human beings, in the beginning God created man, both
00:27:26.640 male and female created he them.
00:27:28.740 Feminists don't like that.
00:27:30.220 So you can't say man anymore.
00:27:31.360 You have to say chair man or chair woman, but the gender binary is also offensive now to
00:27:36.980 Democrats.
00:27:37.660 And woman still has the word man in it in any way.
00:27:39.600 So one person suggested some decades ago that it would have to be woe per son, but son is
00:27:44.400 still male, not female.
00:27:45.760 So it'd have to be whopper daughter.
00:27:47.680 The chair whopper daughter of the DNC, well, that's a little too long.
00:27:51.720 So now they say chair.
00:27:52.840 So now a human being has to try to run to become an inanimate object sat on by other
00:27:57.020 human beings.
00:27:57.500 It's all very, very silly and pathetic.
00:28:00.360 Please excuse the digression, but that drives me crazy.
00:28:02.820 He's running for chair.
00:28:03.800 No, you're a chair man.
00:28:05.020 You're a man.
00:28:05.880 You're a human being.
00:28:06.560 Anyway, the Democrats can't even agree on that, much less who should occupy the chair.
00:28:12.140 So now they might have a new election.
00:28:14.660 What does this show?
00:28:16.300 Does this show?
00:28:17.300 Some people are going to say this shows that the Democrats realize that they have to moderate.
00:28:22.540 The Democrats realize this is not playing in Peoria.
00:28:25.560 The extremes that they've held, even in the early days of Trump, you know, that Democrat
00:28:32.020 senator going down to have a romantic lunch with the gangster from MS-13 in El Salvador.
00:28:37.360 That doesn't play.
00:28:38.740 People don't like that.
00:28:39.540 Okay, we got to moderate, right?
00:28:40.560 Except the candidate who might replace David Hogg doesn't really seem any more moderate than
00:28:47.000 David Hogg.
00:28:47.920 The candidate seems just as radical, just differently radical.
00:28:50.540 In fact, the candidate's objection to David Hogg is not explicitly that David Hogg wants to
00:28:57.360 primary Democrats.
00:28:58.280 The objection is that he's a white man.
00:29:00.480 The objection is that we need a black woman or an Indian woman or some other kind of woman
00:29:05.100 or some non-gendered amorphous hermaphrodite, eunuch, to occupy the chair.
00:29:10.600 In some ways, ousting David Hogg is a signal that the Democrats need to go further left.
00:29:16.380 So what does this represent?
00:29:18.280 What this is really telling you is the Democrats have no idea what they're doing right now.
00:29:24.760 The Democrats have no political vision whatsoever right now.
00:29:28.140 The Democrats can't agree about anything.
00:29:30.480 And the reason for that is Trump screwed everything up for them.
00:29:35.520 The Democrats knew how to run against John McCain.
00:29:38.660 The Democrats knew how to run against Mitt Romney.
00:29:40.900 The Democrats had figured out how to run against the Bushes.
00:29:43.540 Even though the Bushes actually had a lot of success at presidential politics, they figured
00:29:48.260 it out.
00:29:48.680 Okay, it was set.
00:29:49.660 Okay, we know we're going to attack the Republicans because they're going to throw
00:29:52.200 granny off a cliff with entitlement reform.
00:29:54.380 We're going to attack the Republicans because they're belligerent and militaristic in the
00:29:57.580 Middle East.
00:29:58.160 We're going to attack the Republicans because they're heartless and they don't care about
00:30:01.000 the poor.
00:30:01.720 We're going to attack.
00:30:02.160 They knew it.
00:30:02.700 They had this.
00:30:03.260 And then Trump comes in and just messes all that up.
00:30:08.280 So they say, you want to throw granny off a cliff with entitlement reform?
00:30:10.780 What are you talking about?
00:30:11.340 Like, Trump just said he'll never touch Social Security and Medicare.
00:30:15.920 Oh, yikes.
00:30:17.660 Hmm.
00:30:18.640 Well, Trump wants to bomb the Middle East.
00:30:20.620 Actually, no.
00:30:21.620 Trump is much more dovish on foreign policy than you are.
00:30:24.540 Huh.
00:30:26.220 Trump hates the poor.
00:30:27.340 Really?
00:30:27.620 Because he just got rid of taxes on tips and he wants to eliminate the income tax entirely
00:30:33.920 if possible for people making less than $200,000 a year.
00:30:36.740 Actually, you're the kind of the party of the rich now.
00:30:38.500 Huh.
00:30:38.780 What do we do?
00:30:39.280 What do we do?
00:30:39.720 They don't know.
00:30:40.600 They're just really confused.
00:30:42.300 And you would think they would get their sound footing eventually, but they haven't yet.
00:30:49.140 They don't know what they want to be.
00:30:51.120 Should we become friends with Steve Bannon and Charlie Kirk or should we call those people
00:30:54.420 Hitler?
00:30:56.300 Should we appear at the Trump event?
00:30:58.180 Should we not appear at the Trump event?
00:30:59.780 Should we, do we like free trade?
00:31:01.600 Do we like tariffs?
00:31:02.340 Do we, do we want face tattooed illegals in our country?
00:31:06.000 Do we support borders?
00:31:08.100 Do, what do we, what do we want?
00:31:10.240 They're befuddled.
00:31:12.280 They're befuddled by, by elements of public life as simple as wearing a cross necklace.
00:31:19.960 The New York Times has this piece out.
00:31:21.760 It's a good piece actually.
00:31:23.140 A hot accessory at the intersection of faith and culture.
00:31:27.400 Seen on influencers, pop stars and White House staff.
00:31:31.800 Cross necklaces are popping up everywhere.
00:31:34.700 They can't understand people wearing crosses.
00:31:41.780 They can't, this is one of the most ancient symbols in our civilization.
00:31:48.100 And it is the most basic symbol of the pivotal event, the central event in history, which is
00:31:55.680 the crucifixion, the resurrection.
00:31:58.200 The axle, the cross being the axle on which the entire cosmos turns.
00:32:02.740 They don't get it.
00:32:04.760 Why are people wearing the crosses?
00:32:07.160 Now, part of the reason they're seeing the crosses more now is because the Republicans are back in town.
00:32:11.620 I even notice this myself.
00:32:12.600 I've been to D.C. probably six times since the election or more.
00:32:17.420 I've probably been to D.C. six times this year, since January 1st.
00:32:21.980 I wasn't in D.C. a lot during the Biden administration.
00:32:24.400 I wasn't even conscious of this, but I was in D.C. a lot during the first term.
00:32:27.840 I was in D.C., I don't know, it seemed like every other week or certainly every month on average during the first term.
00:32:35.240 Because the Republicans are back in town.
00:32:37.040 And these guys being beltway, coastal, elite Democrats, they only really encounter Republicans during these kinds of administration changes.
00:32:46.460 So they say, oh, look, everyone's wearing crosses all of a sudden.
00:32:48.700 It's not necessarily that they hadn't been wearing crosses before, just they hadn't seen these people.
00:32:52.580 But I do think the New York Times is on to something real, which is that popular Christianity is making a comeback.
00:33:00.960 You can see it in memes.
00:33:02.820 You can see it in social media.
00:33:04.600 You can see it in the way public figures are speaking.
00:33:06.980 You can see it in crosses and fashion accessories.
00:33:10.300 You can see it in liturgy.
00:33:12.460 You do see it everywhere.
00:33:14.080 Why?
00:33:14.480 Why is Christianity making a comeback?
00:33:16.180 Well, basically, at the most fundamental level, because it's true, because the crucifixion and the resurrection are historical events, because God entered into history, and he lives.
00:33:29.240 Our Redeemer lives.
00:33:30.180 And that's the actual reason.
00:33:31.560 And I know there are going to be atheists and secularists and agnostics and people with other religious views who don't like that or who don't agree with that.
00:33:40.880 That's fine.
00:33:41.480 Okay.
00:33:41.860 Well, it's not fine, but you should agree with that.
00:33:43.240 But I understand where you're coming from.
00:33:45.420 I'm just telling you, that's the basic reason why the political authority can never exterminate the church.
00:33:52.400 They've tried many, many times, and it doesn't work.
00:33:55.240 Okay.
00:33:55.600 But at a more pop culture level, why is Christianity making a comeback?
00:34:00.920 Why are people putting on their cross necklaces?
00:34:03.660 Because Christianity is once again a subversive force against a corrupt political order.
00:34:12.180 The dominant political order hates Christianity.
00:34:15.000 The dominant political order tries to get rid of Christmas displays in public and on your coffee cups.
00:34:21.340 The dominant political order takes prayer and the Bible out of schools.
00:34:24.280 Even the Bible, which is the basic book without which you cannot possibly be an educated person, they take that out of schools.
00:34:29.980 The dominant political order permits satanic rituals in state houses just within the last couple of years.
00:34:38.940 The dominant political order slaughters a million-plus babies per year through human sacrifice called abortion.
00:34:45.280 The dominant political order makes a mockery of marriage and inverts marriage, distorts it beyond recognition.
00:34:51.600 The basic political order, the basic political order, and the symbol of Christ's love for his church.
00:34:57.340 The dominant political order doesn't like Christianity.
00:35:01.220 That hasn't always been true.
00:35:04.440 We've had periods where the political order is very pro-Christianity, but we're just at a period right now where the dominant liberal political order really doesn't like Christianity.
00:35:10.840 So, if you want to be subversive, if you don't like the status quo and you want to upset the status quo, the cross is a symbol of that.
00:35:21.840 Much as Christianity was a symbol of subversion of corruption, not of political order per se, but a subversion of corruption and the wicked principalities and powers that so often have control in this world.
00:35:38.840 Just as that was true in the ancient Roman Empire, that is true again today.
00:35:44.260 And it will be true throughout history because we'll have trouble in this world, but Christ has overcome the world.
00:35:49.100 And when there are popular movements to push back against the corruption of those dark powers that exist, it's going to be the cross.
00:36:01.080 It's going to be the cross is coming back.
00:36:03.200 I hope the New York Times watches this segment.
00:36:06.160 I hope that helps them, not just in their political understanding, but maybe their spiritual understanding too.
00:36:11.720 Time is almost up.

00:36:32.800 My favorite comment yesterday is from John Rutherford, 1975, who says,
00:36:37.000 it is so hilarious that the people claiming that he's the Antichrist, either that random guy on the internet or Elon or whoever,
00:36:45.080 the people who are claiming that he's the Antichrist don't even believe in Jesus Christ.
00:36:49.740 It's true.
00:36:51.060 It's amazing how many people will say so-and-so is the Antichrist.
00:36:55.700 And you say, you don't believe in Christ, but you believe in the Antichrist.
00:36:58.840 And actually, it's funny, it's kind of silly when you think about it, but it can be helpful too.
00:37:05.300 Just as God in providence turns even bad things to his purposes, because God is sovereign,
00:37:12.700 there are a lot of people, there are many, many people who would say, I don't know if God exists.
00:37:17.840 Definitely, I'm not religious.
00:37:19.120 I don't even know if God exists, but I know evil exists.
00:37:22.080 And that's understandable, because we can become so corrupt and our intellects can become so dark and through sin and vice
00:37:34.320 that we are not really conscious of the good.
00:37:39.240 But everyone knows, everyone's experienced some evil, right?
00:37:42.220 Everyone, you kind of know that.
00:37:43.480 So, this is a kind of funny subversion of the devil, that the more prominent the devil becomes,
00:37:52.480 the clearer he points to God.
00:37:55.640 Because if evil exists, good has to exist.
00:37:59.180 And if the devil's real, if even the devil's real, I guess that means God is real.
00:38:04.360 And it's a totally, the more corrupt society becomes, oddly enough, the more one recognizes,
00:38:10.460 wait, it's not supposed to be this way.
00:38:11.640 Well, maybe, maybe there's an alternative.
00:38:15.180 Hmm.
00:38:16.380 Do you hear drums, folks, in the distance?
00:38:19.680 Well, you can own a piece of Daily Wire history at dailywire.com slash shop.
00:38:25.560 This is the six and a half inch, finely crafted resin statuette,
00:38:31.280 a scale replica of the legendary monument that towers over the Daily Wire set.
00:38:37.160 Word has it that this little lady here is one 1,024th authentic, 100% delightful.
00:38:45.480 Perfect for your desk, your shelf or mantle of your teepee, your longhouse, or your other traditional dwelling.
00:38:51.680 Very, very limited quantities available.
00:38:53.860 I ordered this specifically to be custom made, the miniature Liawatha over here.
00:38:57.980 We have the big one, obviously, over on the set, the backstage set.
00:39:02.960 It's really great, and I don't think we're going to make them again.
00:39:06.060 So if you want it, you should, I'm probably going to lift this one and just keep it on my personal desk.
00:39:11.160 Dailywire.com slash shop.
00:39:13.720 Speaking of religion, President Trump has weighed in on who the next pope should be.
00:39:22.720 As pope?
00:39:25.800 Yeah.
00:39:26.460 I'd like to be pope.
00:39:28.160 That would be my number one choice.
00:39:31.320 No, I don't know.
00:39:32.340 I have no preference.
00:39:33.440 I must say we have a cardinal that happens to be out of a place called New York who's very good.
00:39:38.600 So we'll see what happens.
00:39:40.300 This is a great way to get around term limits.
00:39:42.440 You see, because the 22nd Amendment is still the law of the land, it limits Trump to two terms, even non-consecutive terms.
00:39:49.620 There's no constitutional amendment that says that a president can't become the pope.
00:39:54.280 Now, he would have to become Catholic.
00:39:59.180 Judging by some popes in history, you wouldn't know that the pope had to be Catholic.
00:40:02.280 But the pope has to be Catholic.
00:40:04.220 But listen, Trump could become Catholic.
00:40:07.700 What about that pope?
00:40:10.080 Donaldus Magnus.
00:40:11.000 That's not a bad idea.
00:40:13.200 But he says, look, I don't really care who the pope is.
00:40:18.200 We have preferences.
00:40:19.320 Catholics have preferences.
00:40:20.260 But he says, I don't really care.
00:40:21.600 But, you know, I love that the New York cardinal, Cardinal Dolan.
00:40:25.040 And, frankly, we could do a lot worse than Dolan.
00:40:29.460 There are some candidates who are popopili who would be a lot worse than Cardinal Dolan from New York.
00:40:34.380 But it seems unlikely that it will be an American who will become the pope.
00:40:37.740 There are some leading candidates who are viewed as being a little bit more liberal, modernist, who probably, just in my limited capacity of reason, it seems to me, would not be great for the church.
00:40:50.400 But there are some really good ones, really strong popopili who could be wonderful for the church.
00:40:55.780 And there does seem to be.
00:40:57.560 If you believe the reporting coming out of Rome, some of the same similar forces that you're seeing in politics here, a revulsion against liberalism, leftism, ideology, modernism, innovation, hyper-individualism.
00:41:16.400 Well, those same kinds of natural and, I think, correct reactions, you're seeing that play out with the laity in the church, even among some of the prelates.
00:41:29.940 You say, you know, when someone dies, we only say good things.
00:41:35.060 We only focus on the good.
00:41:35.940 We don't lie, but we only focus on the good things.
00:41:37.660 Because as the legacy of Pope Francis is evaluated over history, there are going to be a lot of things that people look to and say, you know, that wasn't great.
00:41:48.800 That was, that seems, maybe that was misguided.
00:41:51.180 Maybe that didn't help the church.
00:41:52.380 Maybe that's, that's going to happen.
00:41:53.740 That's true of almost any pope.
00:41:55.420 And especially, I think, a controversial pope like this, I think there is going to be a push to restore some normal to, to even to the Vatican.
00:42:09.160 But we'll see.
00:42:10.800 Speaking of religious visions, the, the modern ideology, which is an anthropology, which has religious aspects to it, of, of transgender ideology.
00:42:20.640 I've said that issue, I'm done talking about it, it's tedious, it's over, it was defeated, I think, decisively.
00:42:27.020 I think we won.
00:42:28.000 I think that transgenderism is now in the process of being eradicated from public life entirely, as well it should be, because it's a false account of human nature, and it helps no one, and it hurts a lot of people, hurts basically everyone it touches, and we just need to get rid of it.
00:42:41.820 Well, the UK would seem to agree with me.
00:42:45.360 You know, the, the UK put out that CAS review, which seriously called into question the efficacy of the transgender procedures for kids.
00:42:53.980 Then the UK is, is stopping the, the transmutilations.
00:42:57.820 Other countries are too.
00:42:58.760 France is looking at it.
00:43:00.060 Sweden.
00:43:00.760 It's just, it's on its way out.
00:43:03.280 Well, the UK NHS, National Health Service, is now planning to test all trans kids, quote unquote, for autism.
00:43:11.860 Now, I was clued into this a few years ago, I was speaking at a school, and a girl came up to me and she said, Michael, just want, I want to thank you for speaking out on the transgender ideology, because it, I, I fell into it.
00:43:24.860 I thought I was a boy, and thankfully, I had good parents, and good teachers, and good doctors, and good priests even, and they, they said, I don't think you're a boy, and they tested me for other issues, and it turns out I had undiagnosed autism, and now they're treating me for autism, and my gender dysphoria has greatly abated.
00:43:40.520 So, well, that's good news.
00:43:42.460 I'm glad they didn't start chopping up your body, and sterilize you, and make your bones brittle, and lead you to an early death, instead of just actually treating the condition.
00:43:50.820 Well, now they're going to apply this insight broadly.
00:43:54.600 Previously, on, on certain social media platforms, you were not even allowed to observe the scientific evidence that trans identity frequently coincides with autism, and rather than treating the autism, they pretend that a boy can be a girl, and they would screw up these poor kids' lives even further.
00:44:16.240 Now, even the left in the UK, even the left-wing Guardian, liberal newspaper, a couple years ago pointed out that books about the trans procedures at, at the most infamous trans clinic in the UK, the Tavistock Clinic, quote, reads like a dystopian novel.
00:44:35.940 It's, there is a consensus on this.
00:44:37.580 This is just, this is bad.
00:44:39.260 Okay, so the thing you got to ask yourself, if, if you are somehow on the fence about the transgender issue, and you still think it's nice to affirm people in their delusions, and you think it's cruel to, to tell people the truth, or whatever, just, just ask yourself, what is more likely?
00:44:56.140 Try to take your ideology out of it for a second, and just ask yourself, what is more likely that these kids, who in the last five years, seemingly came out of nowhere, and said, hey, I'm the opposite sex.
00:45:07.420 I'm actually, the account of human nature that we've had for all of history everywhere is wrong.
00:45:12.860 Actually, you can be born in the wrong body, and I can't explain to you how that's possible, and if I do try to explain to you, I'll give you mutually contradictory explanations that it has to do with the brain, or it has nothing to do with the brain, or it has to do with the soul,
00:45:25.720 or we actually don't have a soul, or whatever, regardless, I'm, I look like a boy, but I'm actually a girl.
00:45:31.140 What's more likely? That that's true? That everyone everywhere for all time has fundamentally misunderstood how human nature works, or that these kids have a touch of the tism?
00:45:45.180 What do you think's more likely? Because the UK, including libs, the UK is a liberal country, libs are admitting, okay, maybe,
00:45:55.720 if you, if you believe something that is so obviously contradicted by all of our sense perceptions,
00:46:01.900 maybe the likely answer is that you've got a problem with your perception, rather than everyone everywhere for all of history
00:46:13.460 has been wrong about the most basic aspects of who we are.
00:46:16.800 Now, speaking of the body, I have got something really important to show you.
00:46:23.640 This has been blocked from release for many months now. The world didn't want this, the powers that be didn't want this secret to get out.
00:46:32.660 But you know, I am not just a cigar salesman, not just your favorite podcaster.
00:46:38.700 Here, I am, I'm a fighting professional. I'm an official corner man, okay? I've trained some of the best.
00:46:46.580 Well, I was the corner man for Smile on Sam Alvey at Karate Combat right here in Nashville.
00:46:52.700 And Sam's got a fight coming up, so I'm going to, I'm going to give you a little glimpse into how I trained Sam.
