00:00:27.260 Because our corrupt political elite has been caught lying to us spectacularly in recent years,

00:00:33.460 especially during COVID, because certain so-called conspiracy theories have turned out to be true,

00:00:40.160 lots of kooky ideas have gained traction.

00:00:43.260 Ideas about historical events, politicians, racial groups, religious groups, even geology.

00:00:50.200 Some conspiracy theories are more compelling than others.

00:00:53.540 But there is one that has been floating around for a while that I have always rejected,

00:00:58.460 and which I actually thought was downright mean.

00:01:01.460 Namely, the theory that Michelle Obama is a man called Big Mike.

00:01:06.240 I don't like this theory because I think it's wrong to make fun of people's appearances,

00:01:12.140 especially the appearances of women. 0.94

00:01:13.780 So I've never really touched that theory.

00:01:16.400 And then Michelle Obama said this.

00:01:20.320 I wanted to talk, Marlon, a bit about, you know, just so proud of how you are being a role model

00:01:28.880 for dealing with a child that's transgender.

00:01:32.180 Absolutely.

00:01:32.900 And that's, you know, that warms my heart, particularly as a black man.

00:01:37.300 And, you know, would you care to share that journey of...

00:01:42.700 Well, I learned...

00:01:44.300 I'm Michael Knowles.

00:01:46.240 This is The Michael Knowles Show.

00:01:47.080 Welcome back to the show.

00:02:08.080 Tim Walz.

00:02:09.620 Do you remember him?

00:02:10.400 The former future president could have been...

00:02:12.160 There was a chance he could have been the second woman president. 1.00

00:02:14.560 No, I'm joking.

00:02:15.100 Tim Walz claims that Kamala picked him because he could code talk with white guys.

00:02:21.000 Just another piece of evidence for the Democrats' political confusion.

00:02:25.480 I have much more to say, but first, you need to text Knowles, K-N-A-W-L-E-S, to 989898. 0.84

00:02:31.740 This July, there is a global summit of BRICS nations in Rio de Janeiro.

00:02:37.520 The bloc of emerging powers, including China, Russia, India, and Iran,

00:02:41.720 are meeting with the goal of displacing the U.S. dollar as the global currency.

00:02:46.280 They're calling this the Rio Reset.

00:02:48.180 As BRICS nations push forward with their plans, global demand for U.S. dollars will decrease, 0.57

00:02:52.840 bringing down the value of the dollars in your savings.

00:02:55.820 While this transition will not happen overnight, the Rio Reset in July marks a pivotal moment

00:02:59.780 when BRICS objectives move decisively from theoretical possibility toward reality.

00:03:36.440 It's so great to see you raising a trans kid.

00:03:40.240 You know, for me, particularly as a black man.

00:03:44.380 Care to comment on that, Mr. Wayans?

00:03:46.440 There are three scandals here.

00:03:47.580 One scandal is fake.

00:03:49.960 Two of them are real.

00:03:51.680 I still don't think Michelle Obama's a man.

00:03:54.140 I still think it's wrong to make fun of her appearance.

00:03:56.440 I think it's wrong, generally, to make fun of people's appearances, especially the appearances of women.

00:04:00.920 I don't think she's a fella named Big Mike, okay?

00:04:04.880 There is a real scandal, though, which is that Michelle Obama graduated from Princeton,

00:04:09.000 and she doesn't know how to use English grammar. 0.99

00:04:12.140 Can you play the clip again, please?

00:04:13.160 I want to get the words exactly right.

00:04:15.340 I wanted to talk, Marlon, a bit about, you know,

00:04:19.180 just so proud of how you are being a role model for dealing with a child that's transgender.

00:04:26.940 Absolutely.

00:04:27.720 And that's, you know, that warms my heart, particularly as a black man.

00:04:33.160 You know, would you care to share that journey of-

00:04:37.460 Well, I learned-

00:04:38.180 That warms my heart, particularly as a black man.

00:04:41.920 Unfortunate wording from Michelle Obama.

00:04:45.220 If you graduate from Princeton, you should know how to use parenthetical clauses in sentences.

00:04:50.800 You should know how, what pronouns in such clauses would insinuate.

00:04:56.140 You shouldn't say it warms my heart, particularly as a black man.

00:04:59.760 Now, I think she's referring to him as a black man, but still, get it together, people.

00:05:05.360 We clearly have falling standards in our elite universities.

00:05:09.820 The third scandal here, the greatest scandal of all,

00:05:13.880 is the intellectual and moral corruption that is displayed when a former first lady of the United States 0.97

00:05:20.600 encourages the mutilation of little kids.

00:05:23.840 And that's really what people are sick of, okay?

00:05:29.760 She might be on the level here.

00:05:31.900 She might think that it's a really good thing to cast straight little kids 1.00

00:05:35.500 and to pump them full of cross-sex hormones and to give them bone disease 1.00

00:05:39.320 and to increase the likelihood that they kill themselves.

00:05:41.940 She might think all that because she might think that a boy can really be born in the wrong body,

00:05:46.700 and she might think, alternately, that it's good to lie to people and that the truth is cruel.

00:05:50.520 And she might think all of these things.

00:05:52.700 But that's a national scandal.

00:05:55.160 That someone who has gone to elite institutions, who has risen to the very heights of political power,

00:06:03.160 first lady of the United States, that such a figure could think these things is a national scandal. 0.99

00:06:09.700 It is a sign of a deeply corrupt elite.

00:06:13.500 It actually goes all the way full circle.

00:06:15.140 This is why people believe in conspiracy theories and why some conspiracy theories have turned out to be true,

00:06:19.120 because our political elite are extremely corrupt.

00:06:24.660 They might not even want to be corrupt. 0.51

00:06:26.200 They just, if you think it's good to castrate a little kid,

00:06:30.040 there has been a corruption of your intellect or your will or your moral perception or all three.

00:06:35.320 That is how Trump got elected, and that is why, to celebrate his 100 days,

00:06:40.260 his first 100 days of his second term, he talked about that very corrupt elite.

00:06:45.440 We're taking back our country from a sick political class

00:06:51.380 that got rich selling America out and bleeding America dry.

00:06:56.240 We don't let that happen anymore.

00:06:58.860 And we had four great years.

00:07:00.700 We had the greatest economy in the history of our country.

00:07:03.200 The stock market went up 88 percent.

00:07:05.340 We did great.

00:07:06.560 And we're going to do better now, because now we're really, we learned a little bit.

00:07:11.440 After years of leaders who sent your money to defend the borders of distant foreign nations,

00:07:17.380 that's what we did.

00:07:18.160 We'd fight for other nations, but not for ourselves.

00:07:20.900 You finally have a president who is defending our borders and our nation.

00:07:25.220 Now, the way a lot of analysts are going to view the dichotomy Trump is drawing here

00:07:32.820 is between the nation and the world, nationalism and globalism.

00:07:38.480 They're going to say, that's the, those are the two paths that Trump is offering to you.

00:07:43.820 They are the globalists.

00:07:45.520 We are the nationalists.

00:07:46.820 They care about other countries in the world.

00:07:48.520 We only care about ourselves.

00:07:50.100 I don't think that's the distinction Trump is drawing, because Trump clearly has interests

00:07:54.760 in the rest of the world.

00:07:55.660 He wants to acquire Greenland.

00:07:56.860 He wants to invade Canada.

00:07:58.240 He wants to solve the Gaza war. 0.78

00:08:00.480 He wants to solve the Ukraine-Russia war.

00:08:02.980 He wants to trade a lot with China, but get a fair, fair deal with China.

00:08:07.820 He's obviously interested in the rest of the world and in promoting American interests around

00:08:12.240 the world.

00:08:12.800 The real distinction Trump is drawing, he gets to at that first part, he said, we have corrupt

00:08:17.980 political elites who have been bleeding our country dry.

00:08:20.260 The real distinction is between elites who govern out of private interest versus elites

00:08:27.320 who govern for the common good.

00:08:29.080 It's not that trade is necessarily bad.

00:08:31.860 It's that our crooked elites sold out middle America to get trade deals that would line their

00:08:37.060 own pockets, but hollow out the country.

00:08:39.680 It's not that being involved in other areas of the world is necessarily bad for America.

00:08:47.000 Trump's trying to resolve two wars right now.

00:08:49.760 It's that crooked elites have been promoting war all around the world to line their own

00:08:55.580 pockets at the expense of the American treasury and America's families and America's children.

00:09:03.340 That's his argument.

00:09:05.400 And people misunderstand that, which is why there's so much confusion when Trump decides he wants

00:09:10.960 to be involved elsewhere around the world, when Trump bobs and weaves on trade policy and actually

00:09:19.140 does encourage more free trade rather than merely trying to have protective tariffs and

00:09:23.140 reshore all the manufacturing here. 0.96

00:09:24.720 That's why people don't really understand what he's talking about.

00:09:26.660 But this is the message, and this is why it appeals to so many people.

00:09:29.940 This is why his message appeals to isolationists and war hawks.

00:09:33.380 This is why his message appeals to some free traders and to protectionists.

00:09:36.720 Because his political argument is more basic than these kind of wonkish debates.

00:09:42.360 His political argument is, you crooked, blood-sucking elites have been pursuing your own private 0.77

00:09:49.020 interests on America's dime and with the American authority for decades. 0.96

00:09:56.280 And we're going to reorient that.

00:09:57.840 It's not even basically a reorientation from world affairs to national affairs.

00:10:04.680 It's a reorientation from the private interest of a crooked, morally bankrupt elite toward

00:10:12.440 governing for the common good.

00:10:14.000 That's how you get so many people to come vote for you.

00:10:16.780 That's how you assemble this new coalition that won the popular vote.

00:10:20.580 I have much, much more to say.

00:11:02.120 Not everyone likes recent political changes, including aging boomer rock stars such as Neil Young.

00:11:11.140 If you're a fascist, get a Tesla.

00:11:18.100 It's like red. 0.97

00:11:20.800 It doesn't matter.

00:11:23.660 If you're a Democrat,

00:11:26.740 taste your freedom.

00:11:29.100 Get whatever you want.

00:11:31.860 Taste your freedom.

00:11:33.200 You're trying to swim.

00:11:37.320 You're building a queen.

00:11:39.220 The days are like that.

00:11:43.180 It doesn't matter.

00:11:46.000 Come on, boys.

00:11:48.480 Come on, GM.

00:11:51.340 Come on, girls. 1.00

00:11:53.960 Let's go again. 0.98

00:11:55.560 If you're a fascist, buy a Tesla. 0.95

00:12:05.340 If you're a Democrat, enjoy, taste your freedom. 0.93

00:12:09.840 Come on, Ford.

00:12:12.260 There's a great, it's wonderful, Neil Young's ignorance, because by the end, he ends up promoting Ford,

00:12:19.000 which means I don't think Neil Young has ever Googled a fellow by the name of Henry Ford,

00:12:24.920 had some fairly right-wing leanings.

00:12:27.000 Some would say extremely right-wing.

00:12:28.880 Some would say a little bit too right-wing for comfort.

00:12:33.000 Vote for Ford. 0.94

00:12:34.440 Did you ever know that his buddy was Hitler? 0.89

00:12:39.880 Oh, wait.

00:12:40.320 Hold on.

00:12:40.720 Whoops.

00:12:41.900 Man needs a maid. 1.00

00:12:44.480 It doesn't rhyme.

00:12:46.420 It has no rhythm.

00:12:48.980 Oh, boy.

00:12:49.580 It's all so tedious.

00:12:50.520 How did this happen?

00:12:52.160 How did this happen?

00:12:53.200 So many people observe that rock and roll was born to subvert the political order.

00:12:58.400 You know, it was meant to go after the man, but now it just defends all these corporate interests.

00:13:04.000 Go buy Ford.

00:13:05.220 Go buy GM.

00:13:07.400 How did that happen?

00:13:09.420 It was totally predictable, because you're half right.

00:13:13.980 The 60s and 70s rock music was developed to tear down the established political order.

00:13:22.020 That's true.

00:13:22.600 That was the purpose.

00:13:23.420 That's what all these rockers like Neil Young, who's a Canadian, by the way.

00:13:26.260 He's not even an American. 0.96

00:13:28.060 That's what they were after.

00:13:30.520 That's what Woodstock was about.

00:13:32.760 But it succeeded.

00:13:34.980 And now these aging rockers, I think, are victims of their own success.

00:13:39.180 Because that kind of art, such as it is, can only do what it's designed to do, which is to tear things down.

00:13:48.180 It can't really build up anything new.

00:13:50.320 So when it attempts to now defend Ford and GM and the liberal political order and the Democrats, who have had power for decades and decades in most areas of our public life, it just seems weird and discordant.

00:14:05.680 Literally discordant.

00:14:06.740 His pitch is terrible.

00:14:07.680 So some new kind of art is required to build something new.

00:14:14.840 Rock and roll is dead.

00:14:17.560 Rock and roll will never die.

00:14:20.240 It died.

00:14:21.280 You killed it, Neil Young. 0.98

00:14:23.620 Amazing how everything seems to come full circle.

00:14:26.500 But it won't succeed at building up something new.

00:14:29.860 The leftism, the purely destructive leftism of the 60s and 70s has succeeded.

00:14:40.120 It is now a victim of its own success.

00:14:42.700 And now that they have subverted the established political order in order to edify, in order to build things up, we need something else.

00:14:52.060 Which is why the kids ain't tuning in to Neil Young anymore.

00:14:56.220 Now, speaking of building something new, Scott Besant, the Treasury Secretary, has just announced a new economic deal with Ukraine.

00:15:04.060 Ukraine.

00:15:05.000 And I think that's going to leave a lot of right-wingers vaguely happy, but a little bit confused as to how we're supposed to feel about it.

00:15:12.740 Do we like Ukraine?

00:15:13.760 Do we not like Ukraine?

00:15:15.100 Do we want to be more involved with Ukraine?

00:15:16.840 Do we want to just completely get out of Ukraine? 0.99

00:15:19.020 Is this?

00:15:20.560 Well, here's the deal in the Treasury Secretary's own words.

00:15:23.380 Thanks to President Trump's tireless efforts to secure a lasting peace, I am glad to announce the signing of today's historic economic partnership agreement between the United States and Ukraine, establishing the United States-Ukraine Reconstruction Investment Fund.

00:15:41.840 This partnership allows the United States to invest alongside Ukraine to unlock Ukraine's growth assets, mobilize American talent, capital, and governance standards that will improve Ukraine's investment climate and accelerate Ukraine's economic recovery.

00:16:00.540 The Development Finance Corporation will participate and help to establish this fund in collaboration with the government of Ukraine.

00:16:08.600 Today's agreement signals clearly to Russian leadership that the Trump administration is committed to a peace process centered on a free, sovereign, and prosperous Ukraine over the long term.

00:16:22.680 It's time for this cruel and senseless war to end.

00:16:27.360 I agree with every word that the Treasury Secretary just said. 0.98

00:16:32.600 And he's showing here the Trump administration's smart alternative to the stupid false dichotomy that we've been presented with over the past five years. 0.97

00:16:44.660 Are you pro-Ukraine or pro-Russia? 0.98

00:16:49.100 Why would I be pro-Ukraine?

00:16:50.680 Ukraine is one of the most corrupt countries on earth.

00:16:53.860 It has been conquered by just about every people. 0.77

00:16:56.380 It was conquered by the Poles, for goodness sakes. 1.00

00:16:58.280 It was part of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth.

00:17:00.040 It's been part of greater Russia for a long time, but it also kind of, they also sort of hate the Russians.

00:17:05.940 And anyway, why do I care?

00:17:08.520 Why do I care about Ukraine?

00:17:10.540 That's on one side.

00:17:11.620 On the other hand, why would I be pro-Russia? 0.65

00:17:14.820 They have a lot of intercontinental ballistic missiles pointed right at our heads.

00:17:18.960 We fought a war with them for 50 years.

00:17:21.600 We have had longstanding hostilities with Russia, predating the Cold War.

00:17:26.620 And the Russians don't really view themselves as part of the West.

00:17:31.200 And the West doesn't really view Russia as part of the West either.

00:17:34.640 And in fact, in Tolstoy, in War and Peace, there's a famous line from Anna Pavlovna speaking in French because the Russians would speak French.

00:17:44.180 And there's always been this tension of whether or not Russia's in the West.

00:17:46.820 But she has this great line, l'Europe ne sera jamais notre alliée sans serre.

00:17:54.940 Please excuse my terrible French.

00:17:57.520 It says, Europe will never be our sincere ally.

00:18:01.380 The whole book is about Russia fighting Europe and making alliances with parts of Europe like the Austrians and the Germans,

00:18:08.240 but then not really having a good relationship with the Austrians and the Germans and being sold out and then going back and forth and always occupying this liminal space when it comes to Western civilization.

00:18:21.400 And there are some idealists now who I guess will think that we can have a longstanding great alliance with Russia.

00:18:26.860 But Russia's never really viewed it that way, and that's never been borne out in history.

00:18:30.460 So what's the upshot for the U.S.?

00:18:32.240 The upshot for the U.S., says Trump, is if we have certain hard interests that are contrary to Russia's hard interests,

00:18:43.140 if we have a centuries-long tension that just is borne out of real geopolitical realities,

00:18:50.040 if we can't really ever be buddy-buddies with Russia because the geopolitics of it just doesn't work,

00:18:57.400 then, okay, let's pursue our interests.

00:19:02.940 We are not going to write a blank check for a regional war that could become a serious global conflict because of Ukrainian democracy,

00:19:12.380 which basically doesn't exist.

00:19:15.040 We're not going to do it because of the sincerity of the Ukrainian political leaders who are extremely crooked.

00:19:24.040 We're going to do it in our own interest.

00:19:26.720 And so the Treasury Secretary comes out and he says, yeah, we just signed a deal, an economic deal that is going to benefit us.

00:19:33.540 It's going to give us some incentive to stay involved in protecting Ukraine.

00:19:38.180 It's going to acknowledge the reality that we're never going to be bosom buddies with Russia 0.99

00:19:41.940 because certain geopolitical realities are pre-ideological.

00:19:48.400 And there are just certain hard interests, and there is a reason that the West and Russia have had a fraught relationship forever.

00:19:57.720 So we're going to acknowledge that reality, but we're not going to become bellicose war hawks,

00:20:01.760 and we're not going to become liberal ideologues talking about the spread of Madisonian democracy all over the earth like occurred during our fever dream of the 2000s.

00:20:11.400 We're just going to, we're going to have a return to normal realpolitik, hard interest politics.

00:20:19.480 And that, that is refreshing because it means you don't have to be pro-Ukraine, you don't have to be pro-Russia.

00:20:24.960 You can just be pro-America, which is the space that I think a lot of us and all normal people have wanted to occupy the whole time.

00:20:32.080 Trump's actions stand in stark contrast to what has passed for elite conservatism over the past 15, 20 years.

00:20:44.140 There was an article that I saw yesterday, probably not a lot of people saw, because it was published in this outlet called The Dispatch, which is, it's kind of conservative.

00:20:54.980 The Dispatch was founded as an outlet for disaffected conservatives who hate Donald Trump.

00:21:02.080 Kind of like The Bulwark, The Bulwark went so far, it became a radical left-wing outlet.

00:21:07.080 That one was founded by Bill Kristol.

00:21:09.440 The Dispatch was founded by disillusioned, disaffected, but slightly less radical former conservative types.

00:21:16.220 And this is the article.

00:21:19.140 My presidential candidacy, and you don't even need to read the article to get the point.

00:21:23.780 The subheader says, if nominated, I will consent to be elected, but don't expect me to do much else.

00:21:32.640 What's his presidential platform?

00:21:34.900 If you elect me, I'm going to do nothing.

00:21:38.180 My platform is the Constitution.

00:21:41.140 I'm going to stop being so ambitious like all of these people in both parties, and I'm just going to let the Constitution do its job.

00:21:50.120 And I'm going to sit back and do nothing.

00:21:52.200 He who governs least governs best.

00:21:55.120 That's my radical candidacy.

00:21:56.940 What do you think about that?

00:21:59.040 And of course, no one will vote for it.

00:22:00.320 But this was a popular view around the Tea Party era among a certain species of libertarian-affected beltway elite conservative.

00:22:13.660 It was a popular, it was never a popular view with the people broadly, but it was a kind of a popular view with the right-wing commentariat.

00:22:23.420 And it doesn't work.

00:22:25.960 I don't mean to make fun of the guy who wrote this article.

00:22:29.420 I'm sure it's a sincere political position.

00:22:31.360 I'm not even really knocking the dispatch for publishing this kind of thing.

00:22:34.320 It's just so passé.

00:22:36.120 And it's not only passé because fashions have changed.

00:22:38.880 It's passé because this doesn't work as a governing philosophy.

00:22:42.360 Give me power and I'll do nothing with it.

00:22:44.120 It doesn't work.

00:22:45.460 What happens when you behave that way, when you say, vote for me and I'll do nothing with the power, is then you get voted out of office and your enemies take power and your enemies transform the political order and you're pushed to the sidelines.

00:22:58.360 And you become a court jester in the kingdom of liberalism rather than a serious political actor.

00:23:02.760 That's why this doesn't work.

00:23:04.140 And Trump knew that.

00:23:05.200 So Trump comes in and he says, I'm going to use power.

00:23:06.980 I'm going to use power in a just way, in a way that respects the limits set forth by the Constitution and by other political traditions.

00:23:13.900 But I'm going to use it, baby.

00:23:14.840 We're going to do stuff, okay?

00:23:17.480 There were two extremes that came out of the 2000s.

00:23:21.920 The first extreme came from Karl Rove.

00:23:24.380 This is a great line.

00:23:25.460 It was reported in, oh, some magazine.

00:23:28.920 I forget which one.

00:23:29.520 But this was about 20 years ago.

00:23:32.720 Karl Rove, who's referred to here as an unnamed aide, but most people think it was Karl Rove, advisor.

00:23:36.980 To George Bush.

00:23:38.740 The aide said that guys like me, me, liberal journalists, were in what we call the reality-based community, which he defined as people who believe that solutions emerge from your judicious study of discernible reality.

00:23:50.600 And Rove, probably it was Rove, says, that's not the way the world really works anymore.

00:23:55.940 We're an empire now.

00:23:57.200 And when we act, we create our own reality.

00:24:00.180 And while you're studying that reality, judiciously as you will, we'll act again, creating other realities, which you can study too.

00:24:07.800 And that's how things will sort out.

00:24:09.740 We are history's actors.

00:24:11.680 And you, all of you, will be left to just study what we do.

00:24:16.440 It's a hardcore quote.

00:24:20.460 Now, that's one extreme.

00:24:22.820 The other extreme is, we're not going to do anything.

00:24:25.720 We're just going to allow the Constitution, this dead piece of parchment, to act.

00:24:30.100 And then everything will work out just fine.

00:24:31.860 If only we stopped doing things as human beings and just allowed our beautiful systems to act of their own logic and apparently of a will of their own, then society would be great.

00:24:42.180 A total political quietism, on the one hand, and a total transcendent will voluntarism, quasi-Islamic, kind of funny that it comes out of the Bush era, on the other hand.

00:24:53.940 But Trump has found the via media between these two views, between the Tea Party and the Bushy neocons.

00:25:02.360 He's found the via media, which is, we need to base our political actions on reality.

00:25:10.700 We need to be normal.

00:25:12.000 We have to respect the natural law and the transcendent moral order.

00:25:15.760 And we have to just recognize, and we have to respect hard political interests.

00:25:19.960 We have to respect certain realities.

00:25:21.400 We have to not be taken off by flights of fancy and ideology.

00:25:24.680 That's all there in Trump.

00:25:27.200 But also, we have to act, and we have to do things.

00:25:30.160 And when we pursue our interests, that is going to help shape the political circumstances around us.

00:25:35.380 It's not going to change reality.

00:25:37.080 Reality is not made through a sheer force of our will.

00:25:41.020 But we have a lot of power in the world, and we can shape events.

00:25:46.000 And so long as we don't totally divorce ourselves from reality, we can change political circumstances and make other people react to what we do.

00:25:54.840 Because we are history's actors, because we're the greatest country on earth, and we're going to become greater.

00:25:58.920 And that's going to give us even more power.

00:26:01.360 But in order to become great, we have to respect the eternal realities that undergird our whole politics.

00:26:08.280 That's a beautiful thing.

00:26:10.340 Romney lost.

00:26:14.060 Republicans lost in the 20-teens.

00:26:17.080 And Republicans lost in part because of the excesses of the 2000s.

00:26:21.820 Trump, let him cook.

00:26:24.360 It's sort of like thesis, antithesis, synthesis.

00:26:27.560 Hate to sound Hegelian about the whole thing.

00:26:29.300 But that is not only a popular political view.

00:26:36.500 It's not only the sort of thing that gets you elected on a wave of populism.

00:26:39.780 It is the most sensible version of conservatism that we've seen in a long, long time.

00:26:46.100 Listen here.

00:26:46.840 We will get to my pearls of wisdom again in one moment.

00:26:49.040 First, though, go to takelean.com.

00:26:51.920 Use code Michael, M-I-C-H-A-E-L, 20.

00:26:54.680 Do not mistake what I'm about to tell you about for another injectable weight loss solution.

00:26:59.840 This is something entirely different.

00:27:01.780 These impressive weight loss results come from a physician-developed dietary supplement called Lean.

00:27:06.720 Lean was developed by medical and academic professionals as an alternative to GLP-1 medications,

00:27:11.900 eliminating the need for injections.

00:27:13.900 Research on the components in Lean demonstrates their ability to regulate glucose levels,

00:27:18.000 significantly decrease hunger sensations,

00:27:20.140 and enhance metabolism by utilizing fat stores as an energy source.

00:27:24.860 Real people have seen real results.

00:27:26.380 Laurie M wrote, quote,

00:27:27.700 I've struggled to get weight off, and Lean has been a lifesaver.

00:27:30.540 I've been losing a couple pounds a week or more.

00:27:32.780 Kelly F. said, amazing.

00:27:34.220 I immediately noticed an energy boost and a healthy loss in weight.

00:27:37.100 I would promote this product to anyone.

00:27:39.480 Strongly recommend it.

00:27:40.600 If you've struggled with weight, I know a lot of people have struggled with weight.

00:27:43.260 Go look into this.

00:27:45.040 Check this out.

00:27:46.100 You know, sometimes a healthy diet and exercise just don't seem to be enough.

00:27:51.000 That is where Lean is for you.

00:27:53.360 Let's get you started with 20% off.

00:27:55.100 Just use code Michael, M-I-C-H-A-E-L 20, at TakeLean.com.

00:27:59.120 Code Michael, M-I-C-H-A-E-L 20, at TakeLean.com.

00:28:02.740 What is that URL?

00:28:03.920 TakeLean.com.

00:28:05.520 Code Michael, M-I-C-H-A-E-L 20.

00:28:07.740 Results vary.

00:28:08.340 These statements have not been evaluated by the FDA,

00:28:10.080 is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease,

00:28:12.540 and is not a substitute for care from a health care provider.

00:28:15.120 Speaking of changing realities, House Minority Leader Democrat Hakeem Jeffries

00:28:20.740 was just asked if Democrats are going to follow through on their promise

00:28:25.200 to follow Chris Van Hollen, Democrat senator from Maryland,

00:28:28.200 and go visit Kilmar Abrego Garcia in El Salvador.

00:28:32.660 Kilmar Abrego Garcia, whom Democrats have called a Maryland father.

00:28:36.000 In fact, he's most likely an MS-13 gang affiliate

00:28:40.920 whose wife filed a court order to stop him from beating her at one point,

00:28:47.120 who's in this country illegally,

00:28:49.060 who's the sort of fellow who probably shouldn't be in this country.

00:28:51.760 And here's how he responded.

00:28:55.120 Hakeem Jeffries said,

00:28:57.580 our reaction to the questions about Kilmar Abrego Garcia

00:29:04.840 is that Donald Trump has the lowest approval rating of any president in modern history.

00:29:09.640 That's it.

00:29:10.300 The question was specifically,

00:29:11.740 do you agree with your colleague Henry Quellar,

00:29:13.720 who positions himself as a more moderate Democrat,

00:29:15.700 do you agree there was a bad idea to rally around this MS-13 gangster?

00:29:20.740 And Hakeem Jeffries completely deflects.

00:29:23.380 He says, our reaction is Trump is really unpopular.

00:29:27.720 Which is to say, yes, I do agree with Henry Quellar.

00:29:30.560 Yes, I do realize that it was a mistake to rally around this guy.

00:29:36.300 He might be the most sympathetic deportee that we can find,

00:29:39.740 but he's not sympathetic.

00:29:41.220 He's a gangster who was accused of beating his wife,

00:29:43.140 who has weird gang-looking tattoos on his knuckles. 0.97

00:29:47.300 He's illegal.

00:29:48.340 People don't want him here anyway.

00:29:49.400 Even if he were a nice abuela minding her own business, 1.00

00:29:51.460 who's here illegally,

00:29:52.280 most people want to deport her. 1.00

00:29:53.460 So yeah, we're done with that.

00:29:55.460 Democrats are done with Chris Van Hollen's gangster boyfriend.

00:29:59.360 Okay, it's over.

00:30:01.040 They realize that that's a big problem.

00:30:03.580 They're going to move on.

00:30:04.580 But how?

00:30:06.600 The leader of the Democrats in the House can't come out and say,

00:30:09.780 yeah, that was a mistake.

00:30:10.800 That guy should be deported.

00:30:12.840 But likewise, he can't say,

00:30:14.540 he didn't have due process,

00:30:15.780 and we need to bring back sweet Kilmar Abrego Garcia.

00:30:18.340 He's American.

00:30:19.100 He's taquitos and apple pie.

00:30:20.940 That doesn't work either.

00:30:21.660 He's just got to deflect.

00:30:22.700 He's got to try to ignore.

00:30:23.980 He's trying to ignore the problem and put his head in the sand.

00:30:26.040 That's not going to work.

00:30:27.440 You're not going to win elections by ignoring

00:30:29.480 the most important political issues of the day.

00:30:32.020 In this case, migration.

00:30:33.520 Top political issue for a lot of people.

00:30:37.440 So it's fine.

00:30:38.760 Democrats, good on them for realizing

00:30:40.820 that their current position is untenable.

00:30:43.240 But what are they going to do?

00:30:44.900 You've got to run on something in order to win.

00:30:47.420 They haven't figured that out yet.

00:30:49.100 Now, speaking of boyfriends,

00:30:50.080 a couple of fellas just went viral for,

00:30:54.120 they're two guys,

00:30:55.280 they seem to be very good friends

00:30:57.260 in some kind of romantic relationship.

00:30:59.840 And they have acquired a baby somehow.

00:31:03.600 Obviously not the natural way.

00:31:05.420 And they just posted pictures

00:31:07.680 of that baby's first birthday

00:31:09.460 for Social Media Cloud.

00:31:11.140 So the guy,

00:31:32.140 for those of you who are only listening to this right now,

00:31:33.900 the one guy has really long bleach blonde hair.

00:31:38.720 He's wearing some bizarre shiny outfit.

00:31:41.720 His paramour appears to have makeup on

00:31:45.240 and is also wearing bizarre outfits.

00:31:47.940 And they're holding this baby.

00:31:51.160 I don't even know their names.

00:31:53.180 I think they're social media stars.

00:31:56.500 They're holding two babies.

00:31:57.480 They got two babies out of it.

00:31:59.740 And they're holding up the baby,

00:32:01.320 not just to the presents and the decorations,

00:32:05.100 but they're holding up the baby to the camera

00:32:06.480 because they want to get Social Media Cloud.

00:32:09.120 And you just look at these guys 0.95

00:32:10.640 and you notice they're not the bourgeois kind of gays. 0.63

00:32:15.580 You know, they're not the gays who wear business suits. 0.87

00:32:18.740 Other than this one weird thing,

00:32:20.280 basically, you're kind of normal.

00:32:22.620 These are really decadent looking people

00:32:28.660 who should not have babies.

00:32:30.200 You just, any person with a semi-functioning conscience,

00:32:33.640 certainly any person who's ever been around a baby

00:32:36.160 and knows the kind of things babies need,

00:32:37.660 looks at this and says,

00:32:38.840 this should be illegal.

00:32:40.300 These people should be punished for doing this.

00:32:41.780 These guys have absolutely no business with a baby.

00:32:45.020 How did they acquire the babies?

00:32:49.460 And you can say all sorts of things.

00:32:51.720 They acquired the babies because we've redefined marriage.

00:32:53.700 They acquired the babies because of the sexual revolution. 0.93

00:32:55.880 They acquired the babies because of a degradation of morality.

00:32:59.980 They acquired the babies because of a recession

00:33:02.440 of public Christianity.

00:33:03.660 You can go on and on and on.

00:33:04.800 Now, there is a technological answer here. 0.97

00:33:08.660 The way that homosexual guys have been able to acquire babies 1.00

00:33:13.100 is one, by changing the adoption laws,

00:33:16.000 but two, increasingly,

00:33:17.520 because you can now make a baby in a Petri dish.

00:33:19.600 Why is this happening now

00:33:23.720 when you see this kind of social problem so horrifying?

00:33:28.080 Well, part of the answer is

00:33:29.340 because technology changed less than 50 years ago.

00:33:32.560 50 years ago, this would not have been possible.

00:33:34.620 But in 1978,

00:33:36.300 we loosened our bioethical standards

00:33:39.760 and we advanced in technology

00:33:41.900 and we came to the point as a society

00:33:44.080 where we said it is technologically possible

00:33:47.100 and morally acceptable

00:33:47.800 to create a baby in a Petri dish.

00:33:51.500 And now that we've done that long enough,

00:33:53.560 there is no technological barrier.

00:33:55.180 There's no physical barrier

00:33:56.360 for two fellas not to have a baby. 1.00

00:33:59.140 They can't do it the natural way,

00:34:00.760 which was what prevented guys

00:34:02.620 who obviously are unfit to have children

00:34:04.160 for millennia from acquiring children.

00:34:07.660 Now that barrier is gone.

00:34:10.300 So as technology advances,

00:34:12.840 that can be a good thing for civilization

00:34:14.780 or it can be a very bad thing for civilization.

00:34:16.960 As technology advances,

00:34:18.560 one has to have a clearer moral vision.

00:34:22.500 One has to have greater personal discipline.

00:34:26.740 One has to attain greater responsibility.

00:34:31.880 And we're not doing that.

00:34:33.520 We're doing the opposite.

00:34:34.920 We are clouding our moral vision.

00:34:36.400 We are shoving off responsibility.

00:34:38.480 We are allowing the corrosive acid

00:34:40.720 of liberal ideology

00:34:42.800 to melt down all of the things

00:34:45.800 that used to make us behave in our society.

00:34:48.400 At the very same time,

00:34:49.600 it's a perfect storm

00:34:50.160 as technology is advancing,

00:34:51.940 which means you're going to see more of that.

00:34:54.960 It's revolting.

00:34:56.480 Anyone who spent any time with a baby

00:34:57.620 knows a baby needs a mother.

00:34:59.960 Okay?

00:35:00.620 And if you're going to give babies

00:35:04.800 to any pair of fellas, 0.95

00:35:06.760 it probably shouldn't be the ones

00:35:07.920 who are so indulgent,

00:35:11.320 so decadent,

00:35:12.020 so over the top.

00:35:12.980 So it's just,

00:35:13.800 it shouldn't be those guys, right?

00:35:17.380 But what do you do about it?

00:35:19.240 The only way to deal with it now

00:35:21.220 is to circumscribe people's autonomy

00:35:23.660 and license.

00:35:24.700 The only way to deal with that now

00:35:27.260 is to put some limits

00:35:30.620 on the uses of technology.

00:35:32.260 Are we a responsible,

00:35:35.740 morally clear enough society

00:35:36.940 to do that?

00:35:37.720 Is that even possible right now?

00:35:40.600 Open question.

00:35:41.440 It's one of the big open questions,

00:35:42.740 frankly, of the Trump era.

00:35:44.400 Take a look around.

00:35:45.760 Do you feel it?

00:35:47.500 Something is happening.

00:35:49.560 People are smiling

00:35:50.400 at each other in public.

00:35:51.540 Things are not on fire.

00:35:52.700 And reality,

00:35:53.400 objective reality,

00:35:54.300 is making a little bit of a comeback.

00:35:56.360 This is not a glitch in the matrix.

00:35:59.000 This is what happens

00:36:00.180 when the fever breaks.

00:36:01.560 Welcome to the return of normal.

00:36:05.580 It's a new day.

00:36:09.520 The sun is rising.

00:36:11.880 The birds are singing.

00:36:14.220 And things are returning to normal.

00:36:18.040 It's norming in America.

00:36:21.680 Today,

00:36:22.560 we're actually arresting shoplifters.

00:36:25.360 And fewer businesses

00:36:26.260 are being burned down.

00:36:28.300 All over America,

00:36:29.500 pronouns are being dropped

00:36:31.220 from bios.

00:36:33.040 Men are not having babies. 0.69

00:36:35.280 And fewer drag queens 1.00

00:36:36.560 are flashing their genitals 0.98

00:36:38.160 at children. 0.99

00:36:39.820 Videos like this one

00:36:41.000 aren't being shadowbanned as much.

00:36:43.500 People are saying,

00:36:44.400 master bedroom.

00:36:46.060 And look at that. 0.91

00:36:47.600 White people 0.90

00:36:48.360 are reappearing in commercials.

00:36:50.080 Oh,

00:36:51.600 and guys,

00:36:52.520 we can say guys again.

00:36:55.840 America,

00:36:57.000 the fever has broken.

00:36:59.180 Now we can be sensible,

00:37:01.680 nicer,

00:37:02.680 and normal. 0.98

00:37:04.280 Join us.

00:37:05.360 And let's never go back

00:37:06.860 to those

00:37:07.420 weird,

00:37:09.040 angry,

00:37:10.300 divisive times again.

00:37:11.800 It's norming

00:37:14.120 in America.

00:37:17.360 Have a great norming.

00:37:19.000 You hear?

00:37:21.640 If that made you smile,

00:37:23.400 or at least blink twice

00:37:24.360 in disbelief,

00:37:25.000 good.

00:37:25.360 Now,

00:37:25.740 let's make it permanent.

00:37:33.320 This time,

00:37:34.520 we're keeping it.

00:37:36.280 Now,

00:37:36.960 my favorite comment yesterday

00:37:38.600 is from

00:37:38.880 familygash7500.

00:37:40.480 It says,

00:37:41.140 as a British person

00:37:42.120 with autism,

00:37:43.080 I can indeed confirm

00:37:44.280 that I used to be a male

00:37:45.640 inside of a female's body. 0.89

00:37:47.880 And then I was born.

00:37:51.180 It's a joke

00:37:53.380 I've heard before.

00:37:55.080 But,

00:37:55.600 I don't know,

00:37:55.960 it's pretty funny.

00:37:57.860 Pretty funny.

00:37:58.600 I get a kick out of it.

00:38:00.020 It's good timing,

00:38:00.660 too,

00:38:00.760 as we were talking

00:38:01.180 about the babies.

00:38:01.920 And,

00:38:02.540 providential timing,

00:38:03.380 since we're talking

00:38:03.820 about LGBTism,

00:38:05.100 Jennifer Coolidge,

00:38:05.900 that actress lady 1.00

00:38:07.080 who we played

00:38:09.360 on the show yesterday,

00:38:10.160 she was making

00:38:10.680 all these kind

00:38:11.280 of odd claims

00:38:12.180 about LGBT.

00:38:13.240 Well,

00:38:13.560 now she's gone

00:38:14.360 even further

00:38:14.880 and said

00:38:15.500 that

00:38:16.560 her life

00:38:18.740 would be worth

00:38:19.520 nothing 0.99

00:38:20.260 without the LGBT 1.00

00:38:22.060 movement.

00:38:24.200 I feel like

00:38:25.400 I joined

00:38:26.660 the LGBTQ plus

00:38:27.960 community

00:38:28.520 before.

00:38:30.960 I mean,

00:38:31.180 I think,

00:38:31.560 you know,

00:38:31.780 when I was young,

00:38:32.660 I think

00:38:33.120 I didn't,

00:38:33.820 we didn't all know

00:38:34.760 that we were going to,

00:38:35.500 you know,

00:38:35.680 sort of,

00:38:37.580 we were all attracted

00:38:39.720 to each other

00:38:40.200 for the same thing.

00:38:40.860 I didn't quite feel

00:38:41.640 like I,

00:38:42.880 you know,

00:38:43.420 I didn't feel like

00:38:43.900 I was sort of,

00:38:44.420 I was sort of,

00:38:45.160 you know,

00:38:46.120 you know,

00:38:48.200 I was kind of lost,

00:38:49.640 you know,

00:38:49.860 when I was a young kid

00:38:50.900 and stuff.

00:38:51.540 And so I felt like

00:38:52.700 I found my group,

00:38:53.220 we all found out later,

00:38:54.620 you know,

00:38:55.800 like also my buddies,

00:38:56.620 like gay men, 0.99

00:38:57.560 you know, 0.73

00:38:58.000 gay women too, 0.99

00:39:01.080 but, 0.70

00:39:01.620 you know,

00:39:03.500 we just all felt like

00:39:05.260 we were the same tribe.

00:39:07.720 And,

00:39:07.960 and how,

00:39:09.300 I can't even,

00:39:10.320 I could go on forever

00:39:11.580 about how much

00:39:12.820 it improved my life

00:39:14.260 if it hadn't happened,

00:39:15.800 if I hadn't met

00:39:16.580 all the,

00:39:18.020 you know,

00:39:18.220 everyone from the gay community

00:39:19.520 that I know,

00:39:20.200 I think my life would be,

00:39:21.440 would be nothing,

00:39:23.040 nothing.

00:39:23.560 And I'm talking nothing.

00:39:25.380 My life would be nothing

00:39:27.320 without the,

00:39:28.400 I googled,

00:39:29.840 said,

00:39:30.300 is Jennifer Coolidge a lesbian? 1.00

00:39:33.060 And it doesn't seem like she is.

00:39:36.040 She might be.

00:39:36.720 It's kind of unclear.

00:39:38.160 But she's somehow part

00:39:39.460 of the LGBT community.

00:39:40.680 I've heard of,

00:39:41.300 I've heard of guys

00:39:42.020 who are married to women

00:39:42.940 calling themselves queer. 0.57

00:39:44.100 Okay,

00:39:44.280 I don't know what that,

00:39:45.340 but she says she's part

00:39:46.220 of the LGBT community.

00:39:47.400 And without the LGBT community, 1.00

00:39:50.100 her life would mean nothing.

00:39:53.480 Which really tells you

00:39:55.420 what LGBT is about.

00:39:57.320 And I hope this penetrates

00:40:00.060 to liberals and leftists

00:40:02.100 who don't understand

00:40:03.400 the way that a lot of conservatives

00:40:05.180 talk about pride and LGBTism.

00:40:08.380 It's not merely

00:40:10.040 that conservatives think,

00:40:12.980 you know,

00:40:13.420 they shouldn't do those things

00:40:14.700 that they like to do.

00:40:16.140 I'm sure there's a little bit

00:40:16.960 of that too.

00:40:17.600 But that's not really primarily

00:40:19.440 what it's about.

00:40:20.060 The problem with LGBTism, 1.00

00:40:24.840 the political problem

00:40:26.820 with LGBTism,

00:40:28.300 is broadly that it is

00:40:30.760 a collective identity

00:40:33.080 that is disordered.

00:40:35.840 disordered.

00:40:38.160 It's not even necessarily

00:40:40.900 tied to these actions.

00:40:42.800 Because a woman 0.99

00:40:44.180 who is ostensibly straight

00:40:45.540 says she's part

00:40:46.560 of the LGBT community.

00:40:47.800 Because increasingly,

00:40:49.100 I've known actually

00:40:49.680 multiple people,

00:40:50.620 multiple just straight guys,

00:40:51.900 just normal guys,

00:40:52.900 who called themselves

00:40:54.600 non-heterosexual or queer 0.69

00:40:56.040 to be fashionable

00:40:57.480 among liberals.

00:40:58.160 It is a collective identity

00:41:00.980 that is intrinsically tied

00:41:02.980 to leftism.

00:41:04.680 Kind of like BLM.

00:41:05.820 Like, not every black guy

00:41:06.560 has to be in BLM. 0.90

00:41:08.920 The normal black guys 0.96

00:41:09.860 are not in BLM. 0.85

00:41:11.160 Because BLM is an explicitly

00:41:13.740 Marxist movement.

00:41:16.480 So, what if you're 0.56

00:41:17.760 a conservative black guy 0.66

00:41:18.680 or just a normal,

00:41:19.920 non-ideological black guy?

00:41:21.240 You're not really part of BLM.

00:41:22.860 It's not, it's not,

00:41:23.740 BLM is not fundamentally 0.97

00:41:25.040 about black identity.

00:41:26.820 It's about this leftist

00:41:28.300 kind of identity.

00:41:29.560 The same thing is true 0.98

00:41:30.320 for LGBTism here.

00:41:32.400 It is a,

00:41:32.940 it's a substitute religion. 0.96

00:41:35.480 Deeply sacrilegious religion. 1.00

00:41:37.100 It's a, 0.68

00:41:37.340 it provides a substitute

00:41:38.600 morality,

00:41:40.320 a substitute anthropology,

00:41:41.980 a substitute kind of

00:41:42.620 human nature,

00:41:43.520 a substitute

00:41:44.140 political science.

00:41:46.560 It has,

00:41:47.260 it has a view of politics

00:41:48.520 that,

00:41:49.460 that goes all the way down

00:41:50.360 to what the purpose

00:41:51.820 of laws are,

00:41:52.900 how the laws should look

00:41:53.620 in the United States.

00:41:54.280 It rewrites a lot of our law

00:41:55.460 and our civil rights law.

00:41:56.380 Rewrites our jurisprudence.

00:41:58.040 It's,

00:41:58.560 it's,

00:41:58.820 it's an all encompassing worldview.

00:42:01.080 This is why we don't want it

00:42:02.140 in schools.

00:42:03.060 It's not just because

00:42:04.420 it's kind of icky

00:42:05.100 when fellas do the,

00:42:06.480 behave like ancient Greeks.

00:42:09.100 It's,

00:42:09.840 it's because

00:42:11.380 this is a whole

00:42:13.160 political vision

00:42:14.520 that now encompasses

00:42:15.960 multiple liturgical months

00:42:17.780 of the calendar,

00:42:18.680 like LGBT pride month.

00:42:20.220 And they also,

00:42:21.120 the October is also

00:42:22.220 an LGBT month. 0.96

00:42:23.360 because it's,

00:42:25.580 it's just wrong.

00:42:28.280 It's wrong

00:42:29.120 politically.

00:42:30.780 And it's,

00:42:31.460 it's wrong in ways

00:42:32.460 that so transcend

00:42:33.860 any kind of personal

00:42:35.180 erotic actions

00:42:36.900 that it's,

00:42:38.420 that it becomes

00:42:38.900 a big political problem.

00:42:40.640 If you said to me,

00:42:41.660 Michael,

00:42:41.940 Michael,

00:42:42.780 what's the most important

00:42:43.600 thing in your life?

00:42:44.060 I'd say,

00:42:44.320 well,

00:42:44.540 without Christianity, 1.00

00:42:45.540 my life would,

00:42:46.320 would mean very little.

00:42:48.600 I would say that.

00:42:49.360 I would still have

00:42:49.820 my kind of natural

00:42:50.800 reason,

00:42:52.420 and I would still have,

00:42:53.660 you know,

00:42:53.920 I'd still,

00:42:54.220 there would still be

00:42:54.660 things in my life,

00:42:55.560 but my life would,

00:42:56.580 would,

00:42:57.020 I could basically go

00:42:58.240 as far as she's going

00:42:59.300 and say,

00:42:59.680 without Christianity, 1.00

00:43:00.460 my life would be

00:43:01.320 meaningless.

00:43:01.960 It would be nothing.

00:43:03.640 I'd live for a short

00:43:04.440 period of time, 0.99

00:43:05.280 die, 1.00

00:43:05.640 take a dirt nap, 1.00

00:43:06.320 turn to warm food.

00:43:07.380 That's how she's talking

00:43:08.580 about weird sex stuff.

00:43:11.540 That's,

00:43:12.060 that is what's so,

00:43:13.620 ultimately so horrifying

00:43:15.080 about the LGBT ideology.

00:43:17.560 And it's why even,

00:43:18.400 it is why even some people

00:43:19.760 who engage in those activities

00:43:21.240 will come out and say,

00:43:22.960 we don't want any part

00:43:23.640 of LGBT.

00:43:24.320 We don't want any part

00:43:24.920 of that rainbow flag.

00:43:25.720 We don't want any part

00:43:26.400 of this political ideology.

00:43:28.220 Now,

00:43:28.480 speaking of a sense

00:43:29.180 of belonging,

00:43:30.140 Tim Walz,

00:43:31.340 the man who could

00:43:32.440 have been president,

00:43:33.700 had Kamala Harris 1.00

00:43:34.680 won even like three votes.

00:43:37.560 Tim Walz just came out

00:43:38.500 and explained his view

00:43:40.960 that Kamala Harris

00:43:41.720 picked him to be the VP

00:43:43.100 because he could code talk

00:43:45.600 with white guys.

00:43:46.760 His exact words,

00:43:48.060 I don't want to take

00:43:48.560 them out of context.

00:43:50.360 I could code talk

00:43:51.820 to white guys 0.79

00:43:52.580 watching football,

00:43:54.160 fixing their truck

00:43:55.280 and put them at ease.

00:43:57.320 He's a,

00:43:57.980 I'm a permission structure

00:43:59.260 for white men

00:44:00.220 to vote for Democrats.

00:44:04.100 If that was

00:44:05.560 Kamala Harris's strategy,

00:44:07.280 she picked a guy 0.99

00:44:07.900 who could code talk

00:44:08.880 to the white guys.

00:44:09.520 I think she picked

00:44:11.900 the wrong white guy.

00:44:13.400 Does anyone look

00:44:14.640 at Tim Walz

00:44:16.300 and say,

00:44:17.060 ah, yes,

00:44:17.620 the governor

00:44:18.060 who put tampons

00:44:19.000 in the fourth grade

00:44:19.640 boys' bathroom,

00:44:20.820 that's a good old

00:44:22.080 red-blooded American man.

00:44:23.580 Yeah,

00:44:23.900 I want to crack a beer

00:44:24.960 with that guy.

00:44:25.840 No,

00:44:26.420 not one person did that.

00:44:28.220 But I,

00:44:28.960 I see the strategy.

00:44:31.260 She needed

00:44:32.220 someone who could

00:44:34.500 talk

00:44:35.300 to white guys

00:44:36.840 because Democrats

00:44:38.560 have told white guys

00:44:39.580 in particular

00:44:40.160 for decades

00:44:41.180 that they hate them.

00:44:43.480 Democrats have said 0.99

00:44:44.120 being white is bad. 0.99

00:44:45.040 We need to abolish whiteness. 1.00

00:44:46.320 Being a guy is toxic. 0.99

00:44:48.160 We go to abolish that too. 0.99

00:44:49.540 So then the white guy said,

00:44:50.640 well,

00:44:50.780 we don't really like you Democrats.

00:44:52.320 And the Democrats said, 0.93

00:44:53.300 shoot,

00:44:53.480 we got to figure out a way 0.99

00:44:54.080 to talk to white guys.

00:44:54.820 I know,

00:44:55.280 we'll pick

00:44:55.760 the least likable 0.97

00:44:57.140 white guy 0.85

00:44:57.740 in public life

00:44:58.760 and we'll make him

00:44:59.460 our vice president.

00:45:00.140 Will that work?

00:45:01.520 No.

00:45:03.880 Democrats picked a white guy,

00:45:04.980 couldn't win over

00:45:05.600 white guys.

00:45:06.340 Trump picked a white guy

00:45:07.360 and won over

00:45:08.500 black and Hispanic guys.

00:45:12.900 Clearly,

00:45:14.060 what is at issue here

00:45:15.240 is not the whiteness 0.66

00:45:17.300 and it's not the guy-ness.

00:45:19.200 It's the talking.

00:45:21.900 Democrats

00:45:22.300 could not talk

00:45:23.480 to these people.

00:45:25.100 They thought

00:45:25.580 that just

00:45:25.960 by putting

00:45:27.360 a guy

00:45:28.380 who was technically

00:45:28.860 a white guy

00:45:29.380 into that spot,

00:45:31.260 they would be able

00:45:32.120 to reach those voters.

00:45:33.500 They didn't

00:45:34.100 because human beings

00:45:35.220 are not just

00:45:35.700 grunting baboons,

00:45:36.780 we're rational creatures

00:45:37.840 who are persuadable,

00:45:39.460 but you have to use

00:45:40.240 talking,

00:45:40.840 you have to use language.

00:45:41.740 That's what distinguishes us

00:45:42.920 from the brute beasts.

00:45:44.380 It is what makes us

00:45:45.360 children

00:45:45.840 made in the image

00:45:46.920 and likeness of God.

00:45:47.820 There's a similarity there

00:45:48.740 because we're rational creatures.

00:45:50.940 So then Trump

00:45:51.900 picks a white guy,

00:45:53.300 like a real white guy,

00:45:54.180 white guy,

00:45:55.100 guy from Ohio,

00:45:56.420 was raised,

00:45:57.180 drug addict mother,

00:45:58.820 in tough circumstances,

00:46:00.840 worked his way up,

00:46:01.960 didn't really have advantages

00:46:02.980 growing up.

00:46:04.240 That guy

00:46:04.800 was able to talk

00:46:05.520 not only to white guys,

00:46:06.780 but to win over

00:46:08.040 an historic number

00:46:08.740 of black guys

00:46:09.440 and to win over

00:46:10.640 46% of Hispanics.

00:46:13.260 It's the talking.

00:46:15.280 That's the problem.

00:46:16.860 And the Democrats

00:46:18.420 couldn't talk

00:46:19.320 to anyone really

00:46:20.220 this past election cycle.

00:46:22.580 Their arguments

00:46:23.300 seemed stale

00:46:24.140 and old.

00:46:26.580 They seemed

00:46:27.400 not to have

00:46:28.100 a grasp

00:46:28.740 on reality.

00:46:30.880 And Trump did.

00:46:31.420 So now

00:46:32.360 we've got

00:46:33.000 this new

00:46:33.580 political paradigm.

00:46:36.440 It's not the extreme

00:46:37.400 ideology

00:46:38.460 of the

00:46:40.020 well,

00:46:41.480 I guess

00:46:41.780 a lot of this

00:46:42.420 is ideology,

00:46:43.120 but it's not

00:46:43.760 the imperial ideology

00:46:45.420 of the Bush era.

00:46:46.500 It's not

00:46:47.260 the individualist,

00:46:49.480 quietist ideology

00:46:50.520 of the Tea Party era.

00:46:51.700 It's some new thing

00:46:52.820 grounded

00:46:53.480 in prudence

00:46:55.240 and practicality

00:46:56.260 and reality

00:46:56.980 and hard interests

00:46:58.240 and a reset

00:46:59.480 for normality.

00:47:00.740 Now what does it

00:47:03.500 look like

00:47:03.780 going into the future?

00:47:04.560 Don't forget,

00:47:05.060 we still have

00:47:06.000 265 days

00:47:07.740 left of this term

00:47:08.740 and that's assuming

00:47:09.820 Trump doesn't run

00:47:10.380 for his third term.

00:47:11.120 We'll get to

00:47:11.540 a lot of those

00:47:12.260 issues later on.

00:47:14.240 Today's Theology Thursday.
