President Trump is warning that taking Tylenol while pregnant can lead to neurological problems
00:00:04.800
in babies. He is basing his warning on the findings of some of the nation's top medical
00:00:10.120
institutions, as well as the drug manufacturer itself. So naturally, pregnant liberal women
00:00:16.220
are filming themselves guzzling the over-the-counter drug. I'm Michael Knowles. It's The Michael Knowles Show.
00:00:30.000
Welcome back to the show. The second Trump assassin. Remember, it's confusing. It was the
00:00:48.620
first Trump assassin who barely missed, actually hit Trump in the air, and then he got his head
00:00:53.060
blown off in Pennsylvania. Then there was a second Trump assassin. He was just found guilty and tried
00:00:57.820
to stab himself in the neck in the courtroom. We'll get to that in one moment. First, though,
00:01:01.800

These liberal women, these liberal women, they are very upset that President Trump has told them not to
00:02:20.800
have Tylenol while pregnant, so now they are guzzling Tylenol. If President Trump said, hey,
00:02:26.980
don't drink gasoline while you're pregnant, these women would hop in their minivans, they would drive
00:02:33.000
to the nearest Shell station, they would ask for the leaded gasoline, take the pump, and pour it down
00:02:38.900
their throats. That is how much they hate Trump and instinctively respond negatively to anything he
00:02:45.200
says. This was part of a broader public health push, so it wasn't only about Tylenol. We'll get
00:02:50.740
to the Tylenol. Here is what Trump had to say about vaccines, about early childhood, about the findings
00:03:08.420
There's no reason to give a baby that's almost just born hepatitis B. So I would say wait till the
00:03:19.740
baby is 12 years old and formed and take hepatitis B. And I think if you do those things, it's going
00:03:26.900
to be a whole different, it's going to be a revolution in a positive sense in the country.
00:03:32.340
Okay, there have been questions for many years about the extraordinary increase in the number
00:03:39.840
of vaccines that we give kids at younger and younger ages, including, and I've talked about
00:03:44.320
it on this show before, when your kid is born, the nurses will come in and they'll say, we want to
00:03:48.980
give your kid the hepatitis B vaccine. And I remember the first kid, our eldest, is about to be born,
00:03:57.560
we're talking about the vaccines and hepatitis B comes up. And we said, well, why does my kid need
00:04:02.420
the hepatitis B vaccine? Isn't hepatitis B spread through sexual contact and like sharing needles
00:04:09.600
and heroin alleys? And the doctors and the nurses said, yes, yeah, that's true. I said, so I don't
00:04:15.180
intend for my newborn to go to any brothels or to shoot up any drugs. So why does he need the hep B
00:04:21.940
vaccine? And the actual answer to the pregnant mothers is, well, your husband might be cheating
00:04:27.520
on you. Maybe your husband's the one who's going to the brothel. Maybe your husband is going to the
00:04:32.780
heroin alley. So because of that, because your husband is an adulterer, we're just going to assume
00:04:38.640
then your kid needs to get this vaccine days after birth. It seems kind of crazy, doesn't it?
00:04:45.080
I think so. A lot of people share this concern that when you're injecting kids with these vaccines,
00:04:52.500
very, very young and increasingly high dosages, maybe that will have some effects. In fact,
00:05:00.160
And it's so important to me to take, see the doctor four times or five times for a vaccine.
00:05:07.320
Don't let them pump your baby up with the largest pile of stuff you've ever seen in your life going
00:05:13.140
into the delicate little body of a baby. Even if it's two years, three years, four years,
00:05:19.120
you just break it up into, I would say five, but let's say four, four visits to the doctor instead
00:05:24.960
of one. And certain things I think you should do. We've already taken out and are in the process of
00:05:32.160
taking out mercury and aluminum now. You know what mercury is. You know what aluminum is. Who the hell
00:05:37.420
wants that pumped into a body? And there were rumors about both of them for a long time,
00:05:44.400
but we're having them taken out. We're having them taken out of the vaccines. Hepatitis B again,
00:05:53.680
Okay. So he's saying, look, it's probably not good to expose your kids to aluminum and mercury,
00:05:57.740
right? And I'm not just spouting this off the top of my head. I have my secretary of health and
00:06:01.620
human services behind me, uh, who is basing his conclusions on longstanding medical reports.
00:06:08.360
And, and just by the way, liberal women, you refuse to heat up a slice of pizza in aluminum foil
00:06:15.720
because, because you're so afraid of aluminum toxicity. You won't use normal sunscreen. You won't
00:06:21.580
use deodorant because deodorant has aluminum in them. We all know women like this, probably many women
00:06:26.880
like this liberal conservative. It used to be only liberals really reacted this way. So you,
00:06:34.660
you won't use a regular deodorant because you're afraid of exposing your adult skin to aluminum,
00:06:39.980
but you're going to shoot a newborn baby up with a ton of aluminum. Make it make sense to me.
00:06:48.420
The liberals used to be the ones sounding the alarm on vaccines. And then recently,
00:06:53.100
because of the Maha movement, because of people like Bobby Kennedy, now it's a little bit more
00:06:59.720
right-wing coded to have questions about big pharma. And so as a result, these liberal women
00:07:05.580
just turn on a dime and they say, no, no, no, we want to inject our kids with every, every needle we
00:07:09.920
possibly can at two days old simply become true because Trump told us not to. And this reached its
00:07:15.440
peak in the press conference when Bobby Kennedy issued the department's findings about a link between
00:07:21.480
Tylenol and autism. Important findings from our autism work that are vital for parents to know
00:07:29.880
as they make these decisions. First, HHS will act on acetaminophen. The FDA is responding to clinical
00:07:37.840
and laboratory studies that suggest a potential association between acetaminophen used during
00:07:44.700
pregnancy and adverse neurodevelopmental outcomes, including later diagnosis for ADHD and autism.
00:07:54.860
Scientists have proposed biological mechanisms linking prenatal acetaminophen exposure to altered
00:08:01.160
brain development. We have also evaluated the contrary studies that show no association.
00:08:08.200
Today, the FDA will issue a physician's notice about the risk of acetaminophen during pregnancy
00:08:14.040
and begin the process to initiate a safety label change.
00:08:19.740
This is what set the libs off. And there are these women now. Do we have videos of it? Do we have
00:08:24.240
videos of the women just guzzling Tylenol on TikTok in order to stick it? Yeah. Let's let, what do we got?
00:08:33.320
So we got a woman dancing around with her very pregnant belly and she's got multiple bottles of
00:08:40.400
Tylenol on the, on the counter and she's, she's filming herself taking the Tylenol because the Trump
00:08:47.920
administration said that it might be bad for babies. This is the party that celebrates murdering babies
00:08:54.380
in the womb. So it's no surprise, but this is pretty extreme. You hate Trump so much that you are
00:09:00.480
potentially going to alter the neurological development of your child just to stick it to
00:09:05.820
him just to get a few likes on TikTok. This is pretty sick stuff. What did Bobby Kennedy say?
00:09:10.640
He said, there are multiple studies which show a neurological detriment because of prenatal
00:09:17.820
acetaminophen. And so we've evaluated those studies. We've evaluated the other studies that show no link
00:09:24.100
and the FDA is going to be releasing its recommendations soon. This is as balanced as it gets.
00:09:29.740
This is as scientific as it gets. And these women, because it's Kennedy who they used to like,
00:09:34.700
but now they don't like, cause he works for Trump because it's Trump. They're willing to risk
00:09:40.840
scrambling up their baby's brains just to stick it to him once on TikTok based on what I'm trying to
00:09:48.840
think of the most charitable read of what these women are doing. Is it just that they're saying,
00:09:51.860
well, Kennedy is wrong. Trump is wrong. We've, we've taken Tylenol during pregnancy for a long time.
00:09:58.000
And so they're, they're wrong and it's totally fine. These women, I think would have taken,
00:10:03.620
what was that drug called in the sixties? Thalidomide? I'm sure I'm mispronouncing it.
00:10:08.000
Do you remember there's this drug from the sixties that was a sleeping pill. It was,
00:10:12.840
it was considered an alternative to barbiturates back when all these Americans were pill popping.
00:10:17.120
And this drug was, was, uh, being promoted heavily marketed as a safe alternative to barbiturates.
00:10:26.780
And it caused all of these terrible deformities in babies. You could actually pinpoint the day.
00:10:32.660
If you took it on day 22 of pregnancy, it would cause, I forget, leg problems. If you took it on day
00:10:38.560
23, it might cause brain problems. You could, you could dial it in really closely cause tens of
00:10:43.760
thousands of very serious deformities in babies. This was heavily marketed in the United States.
00:10:49.400
You, you think that drug companies don't ever get things wrong. You think, you think just because
00:10:56.680
the government previously seemed okay with women taking Tylenol. And now that the, the party that
00:11:03.820
you don't like is in power, the government opposes it, that it can't possibly have been wrong before.
00:11:09.340
The thing these women aren't even looking at is who else is coming to this conclusion because it's
00:11:16.800
not just Trump and it's not just Bobby Kennedy. Where did they, where did they get these data from?
00:11:23.880
Turns out that the sources are not exactly on the far right. We'll get to that momentarily. First,

notes and support the show. Trump and Kennedy came to the conclusion on Tylenol based not on
00:13:01.460
TikToks, not on tweets, not on the spasms of their own minds, based on studies from the Harvard School
00:13:11.360
of Public Health, based on studies from Johns Hopkins, based on Mount Sinai, based on Columbia
00:13:18.720
University, based on, here it is. The White House is pulling these little headlines and abstracts
00:13:25.640
from Johns Hopkins. Taking Tylenol during pregnancy associated with elevated risks for autism and
00:13:31.000
ADHD. Harvard, using acetaminophen during pregnancy may increase children's autism and ADHD risk. This
00:13:38.000
is August 20th, 2025. This isn't even some outdated study. This is from three weeks ago. Mount Sinai,
00:13:45.660
same thing. Columbia, same thing. On and on and on.
00:13:53.140
But the kicker is that it's not even just all of these medical institutions. It's Tylenol itself.
00:14:00.240
Tylenol itself. On March 7th, 2017, there's a tweet for everything. Tweets out.
00:14:05.800
Verbatim quote, we actually don't recommend using any of our products while pregnant. Thank you for
00:14:12.860
taking the time to voice your concerns today. This was in response to some other tweet, which has
00:14:16.300
since been deleted. There's the full sentence. We actually don't recommend using any of our products
00:14:22.780
while pregnant. President of the United States, Secretary of Health and Human Services,
00:14:32.140
all of the top medical institutions in the country, and the drug manufacturer itself, all say,
00:14:39.120
hey, ladies, maybe don't take Tylenol when you're pregnant. And these liberal pregnant women say,
00:14:46.300
well, sorry, unfortunately, Trump also told us not to. And if Trump told us not to pull hand grenades
00:14:54.420
and then eat them, we would have to do that. If Trump says yes, we say no. If Trump says hi,
00:15:03.120
we say hello. Trump says goodbye, we say hello. Okay. The problem for the liberals right now
00:15:11.920
is not their medical illiteracy. It's not their over-reliance on science or insufficient deference
00:15:19.920
to science. It's not any of that. It's that they believe their own caricature of Trump. That's what
00:15:24.280
this is about. They have created this caricature in their minds that Trump is a complete buffoon,
00:15:30.140
a total idiot. He does not listen to the advice of experts. He's not even really the president.
00:15:37.300
He's not receiving good information. He's not. They believe that. That's a character that has
00:15:43.500
been promoted by the late night so-called comedians and by the liberal media. And so
00:15:47.280
they believe that. When in reality, whether you like Trump or not, he's a pretty serious guy. He's
00:15:54.280
been very, very successful. He's excelled in multiple industries. He won the highest office in the land
00:15:59.220
on his first real go at anything in politics. He is surrounded by not only the top experts in the
00:16:05.860
world, but the most powerful and influential people of all political parties across the globe.
00:16:13.660
He's not a total kook. Okay. He, and anyone with eyes and whose mind hasn't been totally poisoned
00:16:22.260
by the serious public health threat of Trump derangement syndrome can see that you can disagree
00:16:26.980
with him. You might not like him. You might say that his, his rhetoric is inflammatory. You might
00:16:32.060
say any of these things. He's a serious person. And you deny that fact to your own political peril
00:16:38.440
because it is the constant underestimation of Trump that has led him to win the presidency on at least
00:16:44.200
two occasions and to dominate American politics for 10 years. And that is leading you to potentially
00:16:49.220
give your kids brain damage because you hate him so much.
00:16:52.700
Now, speaking of people who seem to have brain damage because of their hatred of Trump,
00:16:59.440
Jimmy Kimmel, Jimmy Kimmel was, was fired. He was canceled. He was at least suspended
00:17:06.180
for telling an egregious lie about the murder of Charlie Kirk. He said on his show that the shooter
00:17:14.020
was a MAGA Republican. He said, I'm getting the words, I'm saying the words imprecisely, but the point
00:17:20.880
was, he said, these Republicans have been doing everything they can for, to, to try to say that
00:17:30.660
the shooter was not one of them. That's what he said. In other words, the assassin was a right-wing
00:17:38.720
MAGA Republican, which was a lie. It was an egregious lie. It flew in the face of all of
00:17:45.780
the available evidence. Everything we knew about this person from the engravings on the bullets
00:17:50.920
to the texts that he sent to his trans furry boyfriend showed that he was not on the right,
00:17:57.960
he was on the left. And as a result, he was suspended. He was suspended after the ABC affiliates,
00:18:05.860
which air his show, pulled his program. And after the chairman of the FCC said, you know,
00:18:14.780
we got to look into this. This is really bad stuff. The FCC, which exists to regulate
00:18:18.480
the broadcast networks. But after, after the audience rebelled, after the affiliates said,
00:18:24.560
we don't want him anymore. ABC suspended him. ABC then reinstated him. They said, okay,
00:18:32.340
Jimmy Kimmel's going to get his job back. But this, this is again, the liberals believing their
00:18:38.160
own nonsense. The liberals really believed that the reason Jimmy Kimmel went off air
00:18:42.220
is because the chairman of the FCC was trying to censor him and threaten free speech.
00:18:45.940
That was the, that was the narrative they went with. That wasn't true.
00:18:50.160
And anyone who had a fair assessment of the, of the situation knew it wasn't true,
00:18:53.240
but that's really what they thought. So they thought that all that had to happen was ABC says,
00:18:57.460
okay, Jimmy Kimmel, you get your job back. And that's a big win for free speech and Jimmy Kimmel's
00:19:00.980
back. But that's not what happened. The audience turned on him for his egregious lie. It's not that
00:19:05.880
they turned on him even for a joke. It was, it was a lie. He came to a punchline later about something
00:19:11.700
else. And you can call that a joke if you like. But the first part that the shooter was a MAGA
00:19:15.780
Republican had nothing to do with comedy. It was purely a lie. That's why the audience turned on him.
00:19:20.240
That's why the affiliates took him off. So ABC can say, okay, you get your job back.
00:19:25.280
The affiliates we find out are still going to keep him off the air. And the affiliates include
00:19:29.740
a number of different companies, including Sinclair, which owns 38 ABC affiliates. And now we learn
00:19:37.340
Nextstar will also keep Jimmy Kimmel on ice. Nextstar has 30 ABC affiliates. So that's not all of them.
00:19:43.780
That's not even most of them. There are about 250 ABC affiliates in total. That means that 27%
00:19:51.120
of the affiliates for the Jimmy Kimmel show are gone. Jimmy Kimmel already had insanely low ratings.
00:20:00.220
He was being paid $15, $16 million a year, massive staff, massive operating budget to get insanely low
00:20:07.120
ratings for anything, but especially for a broadcast comedy show. And now on top of that,
00:20:14.040
he had a really small number of viewers in the prime demo that actually buys products that the
00:20:17.820
advertisers want. On top of that, now 27% of the places that are going to air you are gone.
00:20:24.500
So he's not really uncanceled. What is really happening is he is being given an opportunity
00:20:30.540
opportunity to persuade Nextstar and Sinclair, really to persuade the audience that Nextstar
00:20:36.640
and Sinclair serve, that he should be aired on their stations again. He's being given potentially
00:20:44.660
a second chance to get his show back, to actually get a second chance. And then the question became,
00:20:51.740
what's he going to do with it? According to reporting from Politico, Jimmy Kimmel initially was
00:20:55.120
going to double down the next night on his lie. He didn't have a next night to double down on.
00:20:59.760
So then the question is, is he going to suck up to the affiliates, suck up to the audience,
00:21:04.720
come clean, try to, or is he going to double down, in which case he'll definitely lose his show?
00:21:10.260
He showed us last night with this teary-eyed tribute to Charlie's widow, Erica.
00:21:17.740
A moment over the weekend, a very beautiful moment. I don't know if you saw this. On Sunday,
00:21:22.760
Erica Kirk forgave the man who shot her husband. She forgave him. Dad is an example,
00:21:29.760
we should follow. If you believe in the teachings of Jesus as I do, there it was. That's it. A selfless
00:21:43.480
act of grace, forgiveness from a grieving widow. It touched me deeply. And I hope it touches many.
00:21:55.040
And if there's anything we should take from this tragedy to carry forward, I hope it can be that.
00:22:01.400
Oh, yeah? Yeah, is that right, Jimmy? Jimmy Kimmel, tears pouring down his face. Those tears brought
00:22:07.340
to you, by the way, by Sinclair and Nexstar. What is he? That's nice that he says something nice about
00:22:14.200
Erica Kirk. But what is he saying? Let's examine what he's actually saying. He's saying there was this
00:22:18.560
moment where Erica Kirk forgave an unrepentant monster. Just forgave him, which is true. That
00:22:27.280
is beautiful grace. She's not saying we all have to forget. She's not saying that the criminal justice
00:22:32.780
system can't work the way that it's going to work. She's not saying that we have to just pretend
00:22:35.940
nothing happened. She exhibited Christian forgiveness. In fact, that was what my speech at the University of
00:22:42.360
Minnesota was largely about the other night. You can catch that on YouTube. That's what she did.
00:22:48.660
And so what he's saying is, I really liked this because she just forgave this guy. And you should
00:22:53.760
all do that, too. You should just forgive a person. The biggest takeaway here is you should forgive a
00:22:58.740
person. And if you don't forgive a person for doing something wrong, you're a bad Christian.
00:23:04.380
He's saying, you have to forgive me or you're a fake Christian. That's what he's saying.
00:23:08.380
Now, even if I'm unrepentant, that's what this is about. It's so transparent. Do you know how I
00:23:14.260
know it's transparent? One, because it's quite contrary to the comments that actually got him
00:23:22.460
taken off the air and contrary to the comments that he was reportedly going to make afterward.
00:23:27.340
But two, because he went on to say this. I don't think what I have to say is going to make much of
00:23:33.960
a difference. If you like me, you like me. If you don't, you don't. I have no illusions about
00:23:37.460
changing anyone's mind. But I do want to make something clear because it's important to me
00:23:41.180
as a human. And that is, you understand that it was never my intention to make light of the murder
00:23:47.440
of a young man. I don't think there's anything funny about it. I posted a message on Instagram
00:23:58.700
on the day he was killed, sending love to his family and asking for compassion. And I meant it.
00:24:03.320
I still do. Nor was it my intention to blame any specific group for the actions of what it was
00:24:10.000
obviously a deeply disturbed individual. That was really the opposite of the point I was trying to
00:24:15.600
make. But I understand that to some that felt either ill-timed or unclear or maybe broken.
00:24:20.680
For those who think I did, I get why you're upset. If the situation was reversed, there's a good chance
00:24:26.820
I'd have felt the same way. I have many friends and family members on the other side who I love and
00:24:33.060
remain close to, even though we don't agree on politics at all.
00:24:38.500
Totally tone deaf, not repentant in the least, apparently doesn't even understand what he did
00:24:45.300
wrong. He says, I, I didn't, here's the teary eyed. I did not mean to make light of Charlie Kirk's
00:24:55.440
murder. That's not why we're upset with you. You did mean to do that. You did just the tone with
00:25:01.220
which you spoke about it right after the murder. You said, and then, you know, they're trying to
00:25:04.500
pretend that the guy who murdered Charlie Kirk is anything but one of them. So you were making light
00:25:08.520
of it, but that's actually not why we're upset with you. The problem is that you lied. You said
00:25:15.560
that the murderer was a right winger, not one of you guys, not a left winger. You made a claim.
00:25:23.380
He says, I didn't mean to point a finger at either side. Now we got two problems because you obviously
00:25:28.840
did mean to point a finger. You pointed a finger at the right. The problem is not that you pointed a
00:25:35.380
finger. The problem is not that you said one side committed the violence rather than the other.
00:25:40.060
The problem is you lied about which side it was. And now we have a double problem.
00:25:44.800
The second problem is that you are saying that it's really neither side. It's just a disturbed
00:25:50.440
individual. That isn't true. He was a leftist. He was expressing left-wing views. He expressed them
00:25:56.360
on the bullets. He expressed them in the text messages to his transfury boyfriend. Furthermore,
00:26:01.960
prominent people on the left, people in media, people in politics, even people who aren't
00:26:09.120
particularly prominent, people's coworkers, the people we went to school with, members of people's
00:26:12.900
families, dismissed the murder, excused the murder, and even celebrated the murder.
00:26:21.780
It was a phenomenon of the left, top to bottom, soup to nuts.
00:26:27.780
You lied about which side it was, and you're still lying about which side it was. You're still
00:26:34.740
lying. You have the gall to go on air, sort of on air, because a lot of people aren't even airing
00:26:39.380
your stupid show. You have the gall to go on air the next night and lie about what you did. Say,
00:26:44.320
oh, I didn't really point fingers. I didn't. Yes, you did. And then to say, really, it's not either
00:26:50.380
side. It's an individual. No, it's the left. You lied. Admit it. Admit it. A message to any
00:26:58.340
executives at Nextstar and Sinclair, not that I have to tell you, but if you're watching this show,
00:27:02.800
not good enough. Not good enough at all. Now, I want to be clear here. I want there to be a
00:27:11.080
little caveat to this. I'm glad that Jimmy Kimmel is crying on television. I'm glad that he's groveling.
00:27:16.100
I don't believe him. I don't think he's sincere. I think it's actually quite clear that he's not
00:27:21.140
sincere. He's either not sincere or he has nothing going on between his ears, and he has no idea what
00:27:26.800
this is even about. But I like that he's going on TV. I like that he's groveling. I like that he's
00:27:31.740
doing a little dance for us. Keep dancing. This is not good enough. You need to take responsibility for
00:27:37.840
what you did, for your actual transgression. You need to admit the truth that is contrary to your lie,
00:27:44.640
namely that the shooter was a leftist. And you need to beg forgiveness. You need to dance.
00:27:51.720
I want you to dance, Jimmy Kimmel. You came out there and you did a little soft shoe
00:27:55.460
to audition for Sinclair and Nextstar and for their audience. You did. You did your best little
00:28:01.520
soft shoe routine, your little Bojangles dance. Keep dancing. Dance harder. Dance, you monkey. I want
00:28:07.500
you to dance. That's what I want to see. We can forgive you as a matter of Christian charity.
00:28:16.080
We can pray for you. I'm sure there are many Christians who are praying for you.
00:28:21.280
We should pray for you because you've got a lot of problems.
00:28:26.000
But you don't get to keep your $16 million, and you don't get to keep all of your affiliates,
00:28:30.440
and you don't get to keep your stupid show if you're going to behave this way.
00:28:32.860
The consequences will continue until behavior improves. There's a little sign here
00:28:37.780
that the behavior might be improving. There's a little sign. The crocodile tears. Hypocrisy is
00:28:43.080
the tribute vice pays to virtue. I'll take them. We're going to need more of them. And we're going
00:28:47.940
to need you to speak, too. And we're going to need you to admit what you did wrong.
00:28:53.980
Or the consequences will continue. Good luck doing your show when 27% of your affiliates are gone.
00:28:59.220
Good luck. Good luck, buddy. You're going to have to stay on ice a little bit longer.

00:30:15.200
there is a new report out from YouGov and The Economist, which shows how Americans think
00:30:23.440
about political violence. And this is really, really insightful. I was talking about this to
00:30:28.460
sweet little Elisa last night because it is a crystal ball into our political future and it
00:30:33.740
doesn't look great. The question was, is it ever justified for citizens to resort to violence in
00:30:39.240
order to achieve political goals? Here's the percentage responding yes.
00:30:45.200
So if you look at the chart, I want to start at the right side of the chart.
00:30:48.820
This is 60 plus. When you get to 60 plus, basically everyone agrees that it is not justified for
00:30:57.840
citizens to resort to violence to achieve political goals. It's just a definition of terrorism or up
00:31:04.100
close to a definition of terrorism. You see, it's less than 10%. For the moderates, it's even lower.
00:31:09.660
For the moderates, it's like 3%. For the conservatives, it looks like it's closer to 7% or 8%.
00:31:14.760
And for the liberals, it's a little bit higher, but it's close. It's like 8% or 9%.
00:31:19.200
Now, when you get a little bit younger, you move back to ages 40 to 59.
00:31:28.320
It's the moderates who are the least likely to agree with the statement, followed by the
00:31:33.360
conservatives, followed by the liberals who are the most likely. But it starts to get a little bit
00:31:37.700
more spread out on the top end. So for the moderates, let's call it 7% to 8% of moderates and
00:31:44.600
then conservatives who are a little bit younger, who say that it's justified. For liberals, now you're
00:31:51.880
looking more like 15%, 16%. So it's starting to spread out. Then something really strange happens
00:31:57.760
for the young voters. Ages 18 to 39, we're seeing the moderates tick ahead of the conservatives.
00:32:06.640
The young conservatives are the least likely to say that violence is justified to achieve
00:32:12.080
political ends. Looks like it's about 5%. For the so-called moderates, it's more like 12%.
00:32:17.940
12%. So the young moderates are more likely than 60 plus people of any political persuasion
00:32:26.940
to say that political justice, political violence is justified. But the scary number is the young
00:32:33.220
liberals. For young liberals, it's about 30% say that it is justified for citizens to resort to
00:32:39.440
violence to achieve political goals. It just skyrockets, which is not surprising at all.
00:32:47.940
Because political violence, at least in recent years, is a left-wing phenomenon. Full stop.
00:32:55.220
It's usually a left. It's been a left-wing phenomenon for much longer. And the liberals
00:32:58.860
who lie about this are being exposed. Seth Moulton, who goes on TV, the Democrat congressman,
00:33:03.440
he says, you know, actually, three quarters of political violence comes from the right. Only 4%
00:33:07.920
comes from the left. The way that they arrive at that number is by not counting
00:33:11.000
left-wing political violence, as I've discussed on this show before.
00:33:16.700
But it's not even just a recent thing. In the 1960s, you had all the radicals, the weather
00:33:21.600
underground, the Black Panthers. If you go further back to the 1920s, you had the anarchists,
00:33:25.860
the communists, people setting off bombs, people shooting up government buildings.
00:33:30.220
It's usually from the left. That's been tamped down in recent years. Looks like the young left,
00:33:36.980
much, much more comfortable with political violence. And even the liberal media are admitting it.
00:33:43.460
The Atlantic just has a piece out. Says, left-wing terrorism is on the rise.
00:33:51.660
That's the verbatim headline. For the first time in more than 30 years,
00:33:55.340
attacks by the far left outnumber those by the far right. Okay. What do we find? It's worth
00:34:01.380
reading the article, but I'll just read you a couple of paragraphs from it. We found that
00:34:05.100
left-wing terrorism has increased since President Donald Trump's rise to political prominence in
00:34:08.900
2016. Look, even there, they have to get this insinuation in that it's somehow Trump's fault.
00:34:14.960
It's everything's Trump's fault. Why did you make us do it? Why did you make us shoot up
00:34:19.640
the school? Why did you make us kill people? Why did you, it started with Trump?
00:34:24.200
Of course. It's like an abusive husband. Why did you make me do this? Indeed, 2025 marks the first
00:34:30.900
time in more than 30 years that left-wing attacks outnumber those from the far right. Despite its
00:34:35.300
recent increase, however, left-wing terrorism is not nearly as common today as it was in the 1960s
00:34:39.980
and early 70s. Those years marked the height of groups such as the Weather Underground and the
00:34:45.620
Symbionese Liberation Army, which coincidentally is known as the SLA, my beloved wife, best known for
00:34:51.520
kidnapping the newspaper heiress Patty Hearst. In the 80s and early 90s, left-wing terrorism declined
00:34:56.520
while jihadist and right-wing terrorism rose, particularly in the forms of anti-government
00:35:00.420
and white supremacist violence. Okay, here I want to point out there is a faulty definition of
00:35:06.780
terrorism because what the Atlantic is doing is conflating two things. When they're talking about
00:35:12.060
what's going on in the 60s, they're largely talking about political activists on the left
00:35:17.800
targeting civilians to achieve political ends. Whereas when they're talking about the 90s and,
00:35:24.700
you know, the supposed right-wing anti-government militia groups or whatever, they're talking about
00:35:29.780
radical groups targeting the government. Again, I'm not justifying either of these things,
00:35:34.120
but those are different. And I think a more precise definition of terrorism
00:35:37.980
is not targeting armies. It's not targeting even governments. It's targeting civilians in the
00:35:43.860
furtherance of political ends. And to conflate, you know, kidnapping and murdering civilians with,
00:35:50.560
you know, a bunch of eccentric people in Waco or Ruby Ridge or something like that,
00:35:56.480
the government moves in on themselves. I think that's a kind of a dishonest comparison.
00:36:01.440
Nevertheless, it goes on. The year 2016 was a turning point for left-wing terrorism,
00:36:05.860
even as right-wing incidents remained much more common. Trump's political assent and the expansion
00:36:09.980
of the MAGA movement seemed to have re-energized left-wing violent extremism,
00:36:13.120
which accounted for 37 incidents from 2016 to 2024, most of them motivated by either
00:36:18.260
anti-government or partisan sentiment. By July 4th of this year, far-left extremists had already
00:36:24.380
been responsible for five terrorist attacks and plots, putting 2025 on pace to be the left's most
00:36:29.700
violent year in more than three decades. And by the way, I want to see the data here.
00:36:33.940
However, I'm skeptical that those numbers even include all of the incidents.
00:36:40.940
Just use one example that I happen to be involved with, the Antifa attack at the University of
00:36:44.940
Pittsburgh. Was that involved? I don't know. We haven't even seen the data. But even without
00:36:48.040
seeing the data, a left-wing publication is admitting, yeah, terrorism is a left-wing phenomenon
00:36:52.360
now in America. Yeah. Even without seeing the data, even with this, I think, weighted definition
00:37:00.340
of terrorism. The left, we can all admit, is the party of terror right now. By the way,
00:37:06.940
this doesn't include Charlie's assassination. They say that in The Atlantic. They say we're not
00:37:11.560
even counting Charlie's assassination. There was a report. It's breaking now. There's not much
00:37:17.980
information on it. There was shooting in an ICE facility, an Immigrations and Customs Enforcement
00:37:21.940
Facility. I don't want to say anything about it because we really don't have the details. And unlike
00:37:26.600
people like Jimmy Kimmel, I would like to convey the truth when it comes to these matters. So we'll
00:37:31.120
cover that more tomorrow. But it's not all that surprising, is it? Okay, now speaking of left-wing
00:37:38.120
terror, some good news. The second would-be Trump assassin was just found guilty, and he did not react
00:37:45.700
well to the verdict. We'll get to that in one moment. First, my favorite comment yesterday is
00:37:50.780
from Trishy Downs. Why wouldn't Brigitte Macron just do a DNA test? It seems a lot more reasonable
00:37:56.380
and less intrusive than photographic evidence. This is absurd. She said, her side said they're
00:38:02.060
going to present both photographic and scientific evidence to prove womanhood. And as I pointed out on
00:38:07.480
the show, there's no mark. I'm sure she's a lovely lady in her own way. But we don't need to see
00:38:13.740
proof of sex for any world leaders or their spouses. We just don't, I just don't, I don't need
00:38:20.440
that. We don't need that. Okay? Everyone involved needs to settle this case so that we don't see the
00:38:25.660
photographic evidence. In terms of the scientific evidence, I don't know. Maybe there's a blood test
00:38:29.540
or something like that too. But no photos. Please. No photos. Okay. The second would-be Trump
00:38:40.020
assassin. You know, he was the one at the golf course who had a rifle. He was trying to murder
00:38:45.140
Trump on the golf course. He was just found guilty on all counts. And when the verdict came in,
00:38:53.120
he tried to stab himself in the neck with a pen. Didn't work. I don't really have much more to say
00:38:59.360
about that story other than a reminder. I think a lot of people have forgotten that there was a
00:39:05.120
second Trump assassination attempt. Some people have forgotten that there was a first Trump
00:39:08.640
assassination attempt that would have succeeded had Trump not inexplicably turned his head at the
00:39:12.820
very last moment. Jerked his head about 20 degrees so that only his ear was hit with the bullet.
00:39:20.120
This is, this is something that I think the past couple of weeks have shown and put into stark relief.
00:39:25.660
Without a miracle. Without the extraordinary intervention of, of that immigration chart that
00:39:37.440
Trump turned his head to see. And I think most people would say without a kind of a supernatural
00:39:41.480
intervention. Trump would have been killed. It would have been aired on national television. He
00:39:46.900
would have been murdered on a stage in Pennsylvania. And we don't even have to imagine what that would
00:39:50.940
have looked like because we all had to see what that looked like quite recently. In any case,
00:39:58.060
this assassin tried to kill himself and it didn't work. So he's going to have to face justice for his
00:40:03.280
crimes with, with no sign that the left-wing terror is stopping anytime soon. Speaking of threats to
00:40:08.700
Trump, this was real nasty. President Trump went to the UN yesterday and there's a lot of great stuff
00:40:13.620
from this, from this UN appearance. As he gets there, he gets on an elevator and the elevator just
00:40:20.420
stops. And everyone's kind of standing around not knowing what to do. I mean, Trump just walked up
00:40:25.560
the stairs, but Trump is 79 years old. Melania, she's beautiful. Looks like she's 29, but she's of a
00:40:32.220
certain age too. An elevator stopping, if you're a 79 year old, could cause you to fall. I mean,
00:40:37.860
that's a real threat to, to a person, especially to a world leader. They walked up the stairs though.
00:40:45.300
And we thought, okay, I guess the UN is just incompetent. Maybe the UN needs more funding or
00:40:51.000
something. Well, then this popped up before Trump arrived. The Times of London reports.
00:40:59.100
To mark Trump's arrival, UN staff members have joked that they may turn off the escalators and
00:41:02.800
elevators and simply tell him they ran out of money. So he has to walk up the stairs.
00:41:08.440
So this was predicted. What are the odds? What are the odds that this would have been predicted
00:41:15.940
by UN staff members who are of a high enough level that they're speaking to the Times of London?
00:41:21.180
That this would have been predicted and then that exact thing would have happened exactly when Trump
00:41:24.500
arrived. Doesn't take a genius to conclude that most likely that was intentional. And that's a major
00:41:32.020
security risk. One, it could have caused Trump to fall and it could have caused serious injury
00:41:36.020
to the president of the United States. Two, freezing the president of the United States in position
00:41:44.140
in a public place like the UN after there have been multiple close assassination attempts on his life
00:41:50.420
is an act of violence on the United States that is completely unacceptable.
00:41:55.460
And Trump kind of laughed it off, shrugged it off. He's got a great demeanor. He's got a great nature
00:42:00.800
about him. And he didn't, he didn't make a big deal, but the U S government needs to make a big
00:42:05.560
deal. That was a major, not only insult to the United States, which funds the UN, which is the
00:42:12.140
global hegemon. That was a major security risk to a president who was already nearly killed twice
00:42:16.620
and was actually hit with a bullet one time. And there need to be major consequences.
00:42:23.780
This is not, did I misspeak? They're telling me I misspoke and said, and, and elevator is an
00:42:28.100
escalator as you can see from the picture. Uh, the, this was a major, major security breach
00:42:35.240
and some low level staffers should not take the blame for this. There need to be serious consequences
00:42:40.180
up to and including potentially just dismantling the whole stupid thing because of this,
00:42:44.760
because of what Trump had to say. So Trump shows up to the UN and he, he did not mince words.
00:42:50.120
His teleprompter also broke. Was that an accident? I don't know. Either the UN is completely
00:42:54.080
incompetent, in which case it should probably be dismantled, or the UN is actively undermining
00:42:58.380
U S interests, in which case it should definitely be dismantled. The UN, which was formed in large
00:43:03.320
part with the backing of the United States, but specifically with a, but with the backing of a
00:43:06.880
communist who infiltrated the state department, that would be Alger Hiss, who was found out by
00:43:12.400
Whitaker Chambers and Richard Nixon. And they never forgave Richard Nixon for doing so. In any case,
00:43:16.480
I digress. Here's what president Trump had to say about, about the UN's perfidy.
00:43:22.720
In Western countries and their borders in 2024, the UN budgeted $372 million in cash assistance to
00:43:32.560
support an estimated 624,000 migrants journeying into the United States. Think of that. The UN is
00:43:42.140
supporting people that are illegally coming into the United States, and then we have to get them out.
00:43:47.860
The UN also provided food, shelter, transportation, and debit cards to illegal aliens. Can you believe
00:43:54.080
that? Wow. On the way to infiltrate our Southern border? Millions of people came through that Southern
00:44:02.000
border. Just a year ago, millions and millions of people were pouring in 25 million altogether over
00:44:07.960
the four years of the incompetent Biden administration. And now we have it stopped, totally stopped.
00:44:16.640
In fact, they're not even coming anymore because they know they can't get through.
00:44:19.840
But what took place is totally unacceptable. The UN is supposed to stop invasions, not create them
00:44:27.460
and not finance them. What is the UN for? What is the purpose of the UN? I am not one of these people
00:44:37.020
who just says, oh, it's a total waste of money and you need to get rid of the UN because it's a waste of
00:44:41.300
money or because it's just a waste of time or because America has no interest in the rest of the
00:44:46.960
world. I don't think that. I recognize that America is the global hegemon. I have the same sense of the
00:44:51.480
phrase America first as President Trump does, which is not merely a national sense, but an imperial sense,
00:44:57.300
which is why Trump wants to buy Greenland and invade Canada. We're the global hegemon, like it or not,
00:45:02.380
there's no question about it. So we can use certain instruments to advance US interests around the
00:45:07.600
world. But that's what they're for. That's what the UN is for, as far as the United States is concerned.
00:45:14.180
It's not there because it has any particular power in and of itself. It's not there because we're
00:45:19.980
going to pretend that the stand countries are somehow as important and powerful as the United
00:45:25.760
States. It's not there because we think we're going to sing Kumbaya with China and Russia.
00:45:30.820
That's not what it's there for. It exists and is seated in New York City in the United States
00:45:37.440
for us in order to advance US interests around the world. If the United States, if the UN is not doing
00:45:46.480
that, then the UN either needs to be seriously reformed or if it's beyond reform, it needs to
00:45:52.360
be destroyed. We pay for 22% of its ordinary operating budget. We pay for 27% of its peacekeeping
00:45:58.800
budget, which would be fine if it served our interests. But if it's not serving our interests,
00:46:05.440
then we need to think seriously about that investment. And if it's actively undermining our
00:46:11.580
interests, if it is funding illegal foreigners to pour into our country and create security risks
00:46:19.780
and drains on our resources and crime in our streets, furthermore, if the United Nations is going
00:46:26.820
to personally imperil the president of the United States, then it needs to be bulldozed and a Trump
00:46:34.060
condominium needs to go up in its place. Simple as. I'm feeling a little saucy this morning.
00:46:40.500
I guess I'm feeling saucy in part in response to the refusal of the left to learn any lesson.
00:46:50.040
I'm just so offended by it. Jimmy Kimmel coming out with his crocodile tears.
00:46:58.460
Let's even say they were sincere. I want to be as charitable as I can. Let's pretend for a
00:47:01.940
moment that his tears were sincere. And his big takeaway is, you need to forgive him or you're
00:47:07.540
a bad Christian. How dare you? And his big takeaway is, hey, the thing you accused me of,
00:47:13.560
I didn't really do it. I didn't pick a side. And now, by the way, you shouldn't pick a side either.
00:47:19.580
He somehow gets the two wrong answers. It's so offensive. And he needs to be punished more.
00:47:24.380
Because if he's not, then he will only continue to undermine the public square.
00:47:33.400
If the United Nations is not punished for what they did yesterday and for what they've been doing
00:47:37.920
for years, funding illegal immigration, they're only going to continue to undermine U.S. interests.
00:47:42.780
They're going to undermine their own raise on debt. We're in a bad place. We want to get back to a
00:47:49.860
good place. Our enemies, I don't think, really want to get back to a good place, but we would like to.
00:47:55.940
And some of us think we can just skip to that. We can close our eyes and wish and hope and just
00:48:00.700
wish cast. Believe that by doing nothing and pretending that the left is not doing what it's
00:48:06.600
doing, that we can arrive at that nice flourishing place of the free exchange of ideas and happy,
00:48:11.860
clappy song. But there's an intermediary step, which is you need to bring the other people along
00:48:16.680
with you. There have to be consequences. We need to incentivize the consequences. That is to say
00:48:21.580
that if Jimmy Kimmel keeps dancing and admits that he's wrong and does the things he's supposed to do,
00:48:29.500
then maybe he can have his show back. If the United Nations seriously reforms,
00:48:35.640
if the United Nations fires a bunch of people, but more importantly, seriously reforms,
00:48:41.040
then they get to keep their 22% operating budget, 27% of their peacekeeping budget.
00:48:47.040
And if they don't, they got to go away. They have to leave public. They can go to private life. All
00:48:53.580
the UN workers, they can go work some private job. Jimmy Kimmel can go work some private job. He can
00:48:57.680
go retire somewhere. But I think we've had enough. I think we've just had enough. And we realize that
00:49:03.580
it is urgent to reassert order, lest things continue to spiral out of control. When the Atlantic is
00:49:10.160
admitting that the left is engaging in an increasing pattern of terrorism, you know the threat is
00:49:15.540
serious. The rest of the show continues now. You do not want to miss it. Become a member. Use
