The brain trust at The View sees monarchy just around the corner.
00:00:09.040
You know who told us he was going to be a dictator on day one,
00:00:16.000
He got back into office, and his former chief strategist,
00:00:20.320
Steve Bannon, just added more fuel to the fire. Take a look.
00:00:25.040
Well, he's going to get a third term, so Trump 28.
00:00:27.440
Trump is going to be president in 28, and people just ought to get accommodated with that.
00:00:36.000
At the appropriate time, we'll lay out what the plan is,
00:00:38.240
but there's a plan, and President Trump will be the president in 28.
00:00:41.520
I actually have come to the conclusion that he is most definitely going to try to remain in power,
00:00:46.720
because remember, that East Wing, it's going to take a long time to build that.
00:00:50.800
He is hooking up the White House because he doesn't plan on leaving it.
00:00:54.240
That's it. Here's the proof that Trump is going to stay in the White House after his term ends.
00:00:58.960
He is building stuff on the White House. He's rebuilding the East Wing. Now, just a little
00:01:04.000
historical note. Theodore Roosevelt was the first president to build in the eastern part. It was
00:01:10.320
the East Terrace of the White House in 1902. Theodore Roosevelt, he did leave office after his term,
00:01:16.320
so that wouldn't have been proof for him. But President Franklin Roosevelt knocked down that
00:01:23.200
terrorist to build the East Wing of the White House in 1942. In fairness, Franklin Roosevelt,
00:01:28.480
who's, I will remind you, the most prominent Democrat president probably in American history,
00:01:32.560
he did stick around longer than two terms. He was the American monarch, not a Republican. He was a
00:01:37.440
Democrat. They had to pass the 22nd Amendment to stop that from happening again. Then, though,
00:01:41.600
we fast forward a little bit. Rosalind Carter, that would be the first lady of Jimmy Carter,
00:01:47.520
she opened the East Wing as the first lady's office in the 1970s. Jimmy Carter happily left
00:01:52.400
after only one term. Other additions and changes to the White House structure have occurred under
00:01:59.440
President James Monroe, Andrew Jackson, William Howard Taft, Woodrow Wilson, Harry Truman, Richard
00:02:04.560
Nixon. Richard Nixon added a bowling alley. None of those men remained in the White House after their
00:02:09.920
terms. And disappointed, though I am to say it, despite the hysterical ravings of the ladies on
00:02:15.920
The View, I am afraid that President Trump will also leave office at the end of his term,
00:02:23.920
as he already did four years ago. I'm Michael Knowles. This is The Michael Knowles Show.
00:02:37.840

00:04:28.000
Okay, that is A-R-M-R-A dot com slash Knowles. Before we move on, I want to go back to that clip
00:04:34.100
because I've heard this. I've heard libs now make this argument to my face that Trump could
00:04:39.180
stay for a third term. Where is this coming from? The ladies on The View point to Steve Bannon,
00:04:45.660
who was the White House chief strategist under Trump One and I think CEO or chairman of his
00:04:51.320
campaign first time around. They say Steve Bannon is proving that Trump intends to stay for a third
00:04:58.180
term. Now let's listen to what Steve Bannon actually says. You know who told us he was going
00:05:04.760
to be a dictator on day one and damn if he isn't a dictator. He got back into office and his former
00:05:12.800
chief strategist Steve Bannon just added more fuel to the fire. Take a look.
00:05:18.660
Well, he's going to get a third term. So Trump 28. Trump is going to be president in 28.
00:05:22.860
And people just ought to get accommodated with that.
00:05:27.940
There's many different alternatives. At the appropriate time, we'll lay out what the plan
00:05:31.660
is. But there's a plan and President Trump will be the president in 28.
00:05:34.940
I actually have come to the conclusion that he is most definitely going to try to remain.
00:05:39.840
Did you catch what he said? How has no one picked up on this yet? Am I the only person
00:05:44.600
who has picked up on the joke that Steve Bannon is making? Steve Bannon says Trump is going to get a
00:05:51.600
third term. Trump is going to be president in 28. And then they ask for the clarification. What
00:05:58.280
about the 22nd Amendment? Doesn't that limit you to two terms? Why? How is it? He says we're looking
00:06:02.220
at alternatives. Don't worry. We'll explain that as it gets closer. But just suffice it to say Trump
00:06:07.580
will be president in 28. Do you get it? Do you get what he's doing?
00:06:16.000
Trump is already going to be president in 2028. The presidential election will be held in 2028.
00:06:22.320
The new president or the third term, the mythical third term for Trump would not begin until 2029.
00:06:30.860
The new president will be inaugurated in January 2029. Notice here, Steve Bannon isn't saying Trump is
00:06:35.820
going to be president in 29 or 30 or 31. He's saying he'll be president in 2028. It's a joke.
00:06:43.380
Well, he said he'd have a third term. Right. The premise is that Trump won the 2020 election,
00:06:49.020
which many Republicans and conservatives continue to maintain, including President Trump.
00:06:54.380
That the Democrats changed all the rules before the election. There were a ton of irregularities.
00:06:58.240
There was a lot of contesting of that election. Trump did leave the White House.
00:07:02.820
But the premise of the joke is this is Trump's third term. Trump has a third term. He won in 16,
00:07:11.940
was president from 17 to 21. He won in 2020, but he was made to leave the White House. This is the
00:07:17.680
premise of the whole thing. And then he won in 2024 with a popular vote and will be president from 2025
00:07:24.520
through 2028 into the early days of 2029. That's the joke, guys. How is it? I know how no one's
00:07:33.480
gotten it. Or I at least know how the left hasn't gotten it. Because they bought their own nonsense.
00:07:40.380
They believed their own press releases. They said he's going to be a dictator. They said this in 2016.
00:07:44.840
He's going to be a dictator. He's going to abolish elections. He's never going to leave. And then what
00:07:48.520
happens? They rigged the election in 2020. I think most honest Democrats would even admit they changed
00:07:53.720
a lot of the rules in some cases unconstitutionally. And even then, he left. The evidence that he would
00:08:00.720
leave and not seek a new term starting in 2029 is he already left. And he has not seriously expressed
00:08:09.180
interest in staying on again after 2028. It's a joke. And the right, I don't know, maybe we're just not
00:08:16.680
paying enough attention to it. Or I don't know, some of us wouldn't mind Caesar Augustus, Donaldus
00:08:20.800
Magnus I. But it's not going to happen. Steve Bannon is a very intelligent guy. He's choosing
00:08:27.020
his words very carefully here. He's clearly having fun with the interviewer. Oh, yeah, we'll talk about
00:08:31.240
the 22nd Amendment. There are alternatives. Yeah, the alternative is, according to the premise of the
00:08:36.740
joke, he won the 2020 election, but was not allowed to serve out that term. And he got his real
00:08:40.980
true third term in 2024 and will be president in 2028. God, people need to pay attention to
00:08:47.100
language. If you want a really good book on language, there's one called Speechless Controlling
00:08:50.480
Words, Controlling Minds available wherever fine books are sold. Thank you. Here's some more evidence
00:08:54.200
that Trump doesn't plan to seek a third or I guess fourth by that premise term. He was asked about this
00:09:01.120
on Air Force One. And he endorsed a different ticket.
00:09:08.120
Well, we have great people. I don't have to get into that, but we have one of them standing right
00:09:16.380
here. We have JD, obviously, the vice president is great. I think Marco is great. I think, I'm not
00:09:24.000
sure if anybody would run against us. I think if they ever formed a group, it would be unstoppable.
00:09:30.000
I really do. I believe that. I would love to do it. I have my best numbers ever. It's very
00:09:36.400
terrible. I have my best numbers. If you read it, am I not ruling it out? You'll have to tell
00:09:44.100
me. All I can tell you is that we have a great group of people, which they don't. They have Jasmine
00:09:50.120
Crockett, a low IQ person. They have AOC's low IQ. You give her an IQ test, have her pass the
00:09:59.000
exams that I decided to take when I was at Walter Reed. I took, those are very hard,
00:10:06.200
they're really aptitude tests, I guess, in a certain way, but they're cognitive tests.
00:10:13.500
Let AOC go against Trump. So he won't rule it out. So then the question becomes,
00:10:17.460
why won't Trump rule out that he's going to run again, even as he endorses another ticket?
00:10:21.780
He won't rule it out because of the strange historical circumstance of his election.
00:10:28.280
He won a non-consecutive second term. This is only the second time in American history this has ever
00:10:33.580
happened. Grover Cleveland is the only one who did one of these other than Trump.
00:10:38.700
And so it creates this problem, which, and this was one of the arguments against renominating Trump,
00:10:43.820
though some of us were stalwart about it the whole time, because Trump is a unique world historic
00:10:49.160
figure and obviously has not only remade the Republican Party, but greatly improved the
00:10:53.700
country. So the ordinary rules don't really apply to Trump. I think, as we've seen time and time
00:10:58.260
again, all the people, including on the right, all the people who told us, oh, Trump will be terrible.
00:11:02.820
We can't nominate him in 16. This is the end of the Republican Party. He's going to lose. And of
00:11:06.580
course he beats Hillary. Oh no, we have to nominate some other guy in 2024. It's ridiculous. He's
00:11:11.260
obviously the nominee. No, we can't do it. He's going to lose. He wins a popular vote as a Republican
00:11:15.100
the first time in 20 years. And so they've been wrong about everything. However, one of the issues
00:11:19.720
that Trump faces is the minute he was elected in November of last year, he became a lame duck or
00:11:28.020
he could have become a lame duck, right? Because he can't run for reelection. However, because Trump
00:11:34.060
is this unique historical figure, the only way that he can keep a little suspense about it is he's,
00:11:38.020
oh, maybe I'll run again. Oh, what happened? And then all the, all these little, you know,
00:11:42.500
they're chattering hens. They're kind of, they were like run around like headless chickens.
00:11:46.260
So, oh no, Trump's going to run again. Cluck, cluck, cluck. Oh no. Oh, he's going to do it. He's
00:11:49.720
going to be a Caesar. Cluck, cluck, cluck, cluck. And then they all, they just dance to his tune,
00:11:54.140
the no Kings protest. Oh no, he's going to run again. So he keeps a lot of juice,
00:11:59.100
which is how he's managed to stay on the right side of virtually every 80-20 issue.
00:12:03.060
The Democrats are in worse shape, being out of power, looking ahead to a midterm election than the
00:12:08.560
worst shape I've ever seen in my life. But then he managed to get in there in the same way. He says,
00:12:14.540
but I think it should be Vance Rubio. This is very powerful because not only is he looking ahead
00:12:21.880
to a potential, you know, new Republican ticket as would ordinarily be the case when a Republican
00:12:29.000
serves two terms and then tries to pass the baton. He is in a way trying to run the next election as
00:12:36.340
an incumbent. It's just that he won't be on the ticket. What he's clearly trying to set the stage
00:12:40.840
for is to avoid a primary so that the Republicans will run virtually as incumbents. And the way to do
00:12:46.580
that is to take the two top guys, obviously the two top contenders, J.D. Vance and Marco Rubio,
00:12:52.020
and say, hey, don't run against each other, run as a ticket. And there's been scuttlebutt about that
00:12:56.160
going around. I don't have any particularly inside info, but there has been scuttlebutt about that.
00:13:00.780
It would be weird for Rubio to run as top of the ticket when you've got J.D. Vance,
00:13:04.060
very popular, very effective vice president already waiting in the wings. But Rubio's done
00:13:09.420
a phenomenal job. The one weakness for J.D. Vance heading into the White House when he was an Ohio
00:13:14.160
senator is that he didn't really have foreign policy experience. Now, he's picked up some of
00:13:17.980
that, obviously, as vice president. But if you get the guy who's the foreign policy guy, very successful
00:13:21.580
secretary of state, and you say he's going to be bottom of the ticket, they're going to run as a
00:13:25.140
unity ticket, effectively as an incumbent, that's very, very strong. It would be very hard to beat,
00:13:30.500
though. Democrats have some options. We'll get to one of the top options now. Trump mentioned her.
00:13:36.020
First, I want to tell you about Christian care ministry. Go to MediShare.com slash Michael.
00:13:41.120
There's no way around it. When it comes to health care, people are frustrated with how much it costs
00:13:44.960
and how to pay for it. The usual ways we've been doing this have only gotten more expensive,
00:13:48.940
more complicated, and aggravating. That is why MediShare is such a welcome relief.
00:13:54.080
It's called health care sharing. It's different, and it works.
00:13:56.640
More than a million Americans are now doing this, and MediShare has been a great option
00:14:00.240
for more than 30 years. So really, you could save thousands of dollars a year on your health care
00:14:04.720
and be happy. Imagine that. If you've heard about it and you want to know more, there are two easy
00:14:09.420
options. One, you go to MediShare.com slash Michael, M-I-C-H-A-E-L, or you just grab your phone
00:14:17.840
and you send a text. You will get the info that can really help you and your family out. You text the
00:14:23.120
word Michael. Once again, I will spell it for you. That is M-I-C-H-A-E-L to 70246 to get the facts.
00:14:32.160
Text Michael, M-I-C-H-A-E-L, to 70246, and you will get the link. That is Michael to 70246,
00:14:40.240
or just pull up your browser and go to MediShare.com slash Michael. I want your voicemail bags.
00:14:47.140
Okay, it's coming up. I'm glad to be back here, though I guess I will be in D.C. today,
00:14:51.920
and I'll be back here on Friday. I want to hear your voicemail bag questions. I have to beg you,
00:14:56.020
though. I have to plead with you. You have to keep them short. People send in their life story,
00:15:00.060
and it's all very interesting, but you got to keep it 30 seconds at the very most a minute,
00:15:04.180
but 30 seconds is better. You go to DailyWire.com. You click on the show page, watch.
00:15:09.400
Then you click on the Michael Knowles show. Then you click submit a mailbag question.
00:15:12.820
And you attach the audio file, whatever format, however you do it on your phone,
00:15:17.020
on your computer, you attach it to the email. You can send the written mailbag questions, too.
00:15:22.380
But I like hearing your mellifluous tones. So anyway, send them in,
00:15:26.620
keep them pithy, and I will dispense to you what wisdom I can muster on Friday.
00:15:32.700
Okay, who are the Democrats going to run against, I guess, the presumptive ticket of J.D. Vance and
00:15:37.440
Marco Rubio? AOC is one of the handful of names in consideration. Right now, I think the only
00:15:44.320
serious names are Gavin Newsom. I guess you'd have to say Kamala Harris. I don't see it, though.
00:15:51.440
Mayor Pete? No. Gretchen Whitmer? I don't think so. J.B. Pritzker? He's got money,
00:15:58.560
but that's all he's got. That's not going to happen, I don't think. Who do you, at a certain
00:16:05.100
point, I know it seems like a punchline. One of the top contenders right now is AOC, and she has
00:16:11.600
very strong political skills. She might just go after Schumer, try to take his seat in the Senate
00:16:17.080
from New York. But I think she's got higher ambitions, and given the absolute dearth of any
00:16:22.860
serious candidates on the left, she could make a very serious presidential candidate. However,
00:16:27.900
there's a big but here, because AOC is campaigning for Mamdani right now in New York. Mamdani,
00:16:32.860
who is the Muslim communist, who's probably going to be the next mayor of New York.
00:16:35.780
She's obviously one of, if not the leading voice on the left flank of the Democrat Party.
00:16:41.740
Very strange showing in recent days at a rally for Mamdani.
00:16:46.140
Jews escaping holocaust. Black Americans fleeing slavery and Jim Crow. Latinos seeking a better
00:16:57.440
life. Native people standing for themselves. Asian Americans coming together in Queens,
00:17:04.340
in Brooklyn, in the Bronx, in Manhattan, in Staten Island, in this country.
00:17:11.340
Bah! Bah! Bah, Mamdani! Bah! Bah! So she's just verbally ejaculating all of these random ethnic
00:17:22.300
groups and historical events. But she's not controlled. So she's calling attention to,
00:17:28.300
first of all, the people behind her all look foreign. And that's the strategy. The strategy is
00:17:33.340
to go back to what had been working in the Obama era of Democrat politics. And even a little earlier,
00:17:39.500
2004, Democrats were talking about this kind of thing. The Ascendant, what was it? The Coalition
00:17:45.240
of the Ascendant or something like that. I mean, you had very serious liberal political scientists
00:17:49.480
saying the way the Democrats are going to get a permanent electoral majority is they're just
00:17:53.500
going to assemble all of the supposedly oppressed minority groups. And they're going to rely heavily
00:17:58.180
on foreign-born people. And that's what's going to elevate them to a permanent electoral majority.
00:18:02.940
Basically saying they rigged the migration system to get rid of Republicans and Americans whose
00:18:09.800
families have been here for a long time. They're not going to have any say really in the politics
00:18:13.020
anymore. And in the case of Mamdani, it is working. Mamdani will be the next mayor of New York
00:18:18.580
only because of foreign-born New Yorkers. If the election were held today and only New Yorkers who
00:18:26.080
were born in America, not even just New York, born in America voted, Mamdani would lose.
00:18:30.600
The reason Mamdani is going to win is strictly because of foreign-born New Yorkers. You might
00:18:36.880
say that's not fair. It's not to say that they're illegal aliens necessarily. It's just that the
00:18:42.580
Democrats foisted mass migration upon us. It changed the character of the country. And now you're going
00:18:47.840
to get a Muslim communist in New York. Okay, so maybe that works for New York. Does that work
00:18:53.300
for the whole country? No, the whole country is not New York. Zoran would not play in Peoria.
00:19:00.780
And there's been a big push against mass migration. That was a big issue in the 2024
00:19:06.200
election. But I just want to zoom in on AOC for a second because I've been very laudatory of AOC's
00:19:13.040
political skills. She's nuts, but I think she's generally a pretty talented politician. That was
00:19:17.460
a bad showing. And now I was saying previously that AOC is the most likely Democrat nominee.
00:19:22.640
I would like to condition that. I want to hedge my bet a little bit here. Because if AOC keeps that up,
00:19:28.760
if she can't control herself, she is going to be the Howard Dean 2004. Was it 04 or 08? No, it was 04
00:19:36.220
of the Democrats. You remember for some of you, some of you were so young. Some of you were but
00:19:41.900
a glint in your father's eye in 2004. In 2004, Howard Dean was leading the left-wing flank of
00:19:46.660
the Democrat Party, and he lost one of the primaries. But he was still doing okay. And he said,
00:19:52.660
we're going to fight on in the campaign. One speech completely ended his run.
00:19:58.660
Not only are we going to New Hampshire, Tom Harkin, we're going to South Carolina and Oklahoma
00:20:03.620
and Arizona and North Dakota and New Mexico. And we're going to California and Texas and New York.
00:20:10.660
And we're going to South Dakota and Oregon and Washington and Michigan. And then we're going to
00:20:16.220
Washington, D.C. to take back the White House. I'm seeing history repeat itself. Deja vu all over
00:20:27.900
again with AOC. The problem there was not to say, oh, we lost this primary, but we're going to win
00:20:32.920
the next ones, and then we're going to go to the White House. It was to show the total lack of
00:20:36.320
control, self-control. That's what AOC is showing. One of AOC's great strengths in politics is that
00:20:42.900
she's been able to outmaneuver her enemies, and she's been able to grow and control herself. And
00:20:48.840
that's what's made her a force. If she doesn't have that, if she's just going to go out on the trail
00:20:52.240
and say, ah, just start citing random historical events, random minority groups, it's not going
00:20:58.540
to work. It's not going to work, and then it's going to be Newsom. So it remains to be seen,
00:21:02.160
but right now she's set up to be Howard Dean. Now, back to Mamdani. I mentioned he is a Muslim
00:21:08.600
communist. And people have really focused on the Muslim part. We talked about that a little bit
00:21:13.080
yesterday on the show. He's palling around with unindicted co-conspirators of the World Trade
00:21:18.100
Center bombing, and he's talking about how Muslims just want to be New Yorkers like everybody else.
00:21:24.060
I mean, some of them want to blow up the World Trade Center, and some of them are actually Mamdani's
00:21:27.900
friends, and they smiled together in photos recently. But the rest of them, they just want
00:21:31.820
to be New Yorkers. And the real victims of 9-11, of course, were not the 3,000 people who were killed
00:21:35.920
by a Muslim terrorist. No, no, it was the Muslims. It was those who faced Islamophobia, imagined Islamophobia.
00:21:45.240
Maybe we'll have time to get to that, too. Instead, though, I said, I think Mamdani is really
00:21:51.340
just rote leftism, and all the Islam stuff is really just part of the anti-colonial attack on
00:21:58.060
the West. But you'd hear it from a white Presbyterian liberal just as much as you'd hear it from a Muslim
00:22:03.600
like Mamdani. Well, I think I have been vindicated yet again in this clip going viral of Mamdani out on
00:22:09.940
the campaign trail, going all in on transgenderism.
00:22:14.040
And one of the things that we've said, beyond saying that we're going to make a sanctuary city
00:22:18.920
for LGBTQIA plus workers, beyond saying that we're going to establish an office of LGBTQIA plus affairs,
00:22:25.600
is also that we're going to provide $65 million in funding for gender-affirming care,
00:22:30.720
the same amount of funding for the federal government to pull out from local providers for that kind of work.
00:22:36.760
And in this moment, especially, if we want to fight the Trump administration,
00:22:40.780
we have to do so by fully funding our own services, taxing the wealthiest,
00:22:48.140
$65 million to trans the kids, and the adults, I guess, too, but also the kids.
00:22:53.700
That Mamdani is all in on that. I pointed this out when people said, oh, you know,
00:22:56.600
he's basically a Wahhabi. What are you talking about? He tweets about queer liberation.
00:23:00.980
They said, no, you don't know how dangerous he is. He's a Muslim. I said, in some ways,
00:23:04.200
it'd be better if you were a serious Muslim. At least those guys, at least they're grounded.
00:23:08.440
They believe in God. They have some sense of theology and metaphysics. But, you know,
00:23:12.300
the libs, they're chopping up little kids. Again, you know, I'm not advocating for an Islamist to
00:23:17.840
take over New York, surely. But this is, frankly, even, I think, less politically salient.
00:23:24.920
Americans rejected wokeness broadly through the emblem of wokeness, which is the transgender issue.
00:23:35.600
They rejected that resoundingly in November. That was the issue. That was the cultural issue
00:23:41.380
that Republicans pounded them on because it was indefensible. And Zulron's doubling down on it.
00:23:47.840
They're all in on trans. This will help him in New York, probably. This might help him with the base.
00:23:53.640
This is very bad for Democrats in general. Very bad. And as we're looking around the field,
00:24:00.000
and all you got are, it's AOC, who's all in on Momdani and screeching and wow, all in on the
00:24:07.340
woke ID politics. Momdani all in on queer liberation and transing the kids. Yeah, Gavin Newsom,
00:24:13.420
who doesn't know what he is. He wants to be a Clinton Democrat one day. You know, he wants to be
00:24:17.620
kind of moderate and friends with Charlie Kirk and Steve Bannon. Then the next day, he's threatening
00:24:22.620
people and all the way on the left. Then one day, he's black. Remember that? He said,
00:24:27.120
he's a poor black child. And so he doesn't know what he is. The Dems are doubling down on this.
00:24:33.560
They learn nothing from November. If Trump were to run for another term, he might get it. He probably
00:24:37.800
would get it. Right now, though, I don't care what the poll numbers say. You look at Rubio at the VP
00:24:44.420
level and Vance as the presidential candidate versus these people. Would not work. Would not work.
00:24:50.940
Republicans could run on the exact same issues. They'd win again. Now, speaking of mayors,
00:24:55.480
the mayor of Chicago has made an audacious and strange claim. He says there are no illegal aliens
00:25:00.840
in Chicago. Is this because ICE has just done too good a job? No, no, it's a little weirder than that.
00:25:05.740
We'll get to that one second. First, though, you want to clear the air. When you want to clear the
00:25:10.800
air in your home, you got to check out Rabbit Air. Go to rabbitair.com. Okay, I got two things
00:25:15.600
to set you up for here. All right, first of all, if you are a cigar enthusiast, as I am,
00:25:20.840
obviously I have my Mayflower cigars right here on the set, you need this yesterday. You need the
00:25:28.680
Rabbit Air A3 air purifier, the award-winning A3 air purifier yesterday. But even if you've never had
00:25:34.300
a cigar in your life and never intend to, even if you just want your home to have nice, clean,
00:25:39.500
beautiful air in it, the Rabbit Air A3 purifier has a six-stage filtration and advanced deodorization
00:25:47.020
to tackle everything, air pollutants, odors, the aforementioned cigar smoke. It's got dual
00:25:53.020
hive-activated carbon filter boosts efficiency by 26%. It upgrades the single-layer design with
00:25:58.080
two offset layers, more carbon surface area, better air contact, stronger odor removal.
00:26:03.800
This is next-level air purification for everyone. Get it in your home. Your wife will thank you.
00:26:09.740
Especially though, if you're a cigar smoker, it is next level. Because obviously with cigars,
00:26:13.820
you need the absolute best. Rabbit is the absolute best. Okay. Premium craftsmanship,
00:26:19.420
comprehensive five-year warranty, upgrade your space today. I have two of these things in my
00:26:23.660
house. All right. One of them is a special Mayflower. One, they're really, they're just
00:26:26.440
phenomenal. And if you know, you know, when you go to the cigar lounge, you got the nice units and
00:26:31.380
it's a Rabbit Air A3. Go to rabbitair.com or call them 24-7 to speak to a Rabbit Air consultant.
00:26:38.000
Brandon Johnson, Mayor of Chicago. He says that they do not have illegal aliens in Chicago.
00:26:49.020
So it's come to our attention through our cauldron sources, Mr. Mayor, that you're supposed to have
00:26:56.100
filed a report on spending on illegal aliens in Chicago with the White House by now. What's
00:27:02.220
happening with that? What has happened with that? We don't have illegal aliens. I don't know if that's
00:27:09.720
from some sort of sci-fi message that you wish have had. Well, listen, the legal term for my people
00:27:14.880
were slaves. You want me to use that term too? So look, let's just get the language right. We're
00:27:19.600
talking about undocumented individuals that are human beings. The last thing that I'm going to do
00:27:24.120
is accept the type of racist, nasty language to describe human beings. And so as far as our spending
00:27:30.720
on Chicagoans, I've put forth a $16.7 billion balanced budget that ensures that we're investing
00:27:38.220
in education, transportation, housing, youth employment, environmental justice, as well as
00:27:44.660
ensuring that we have safe communities. And we are going to challenge the ultra-wealthy to pay their
00:27:51.100
fair share. He's more than happy to look at that budget.
00:27:54.480
Let me, let me, let me just, excuse me, excuse me, let me just say something here. It is very
00:28:01.800
important that people in Illinois and across the country understand the immigration system
00:28:07.340
is a civil system. Undocumented presence in the United States is not a criminal offense.
00:28:17.100
Okay. Anyway, good clarification on language. Let's get to the point that the mayor makes. He says,
00:28:21.620
there are no illegal aliens here. What is that, something from a sci-fi movie from outer space?
00:28:28.280
No, it's just a legal term that is clear and precise since time immemorial, not a pejorative
00:28:34.420
necessarily, just, it's just a legal term. Well, we're not going to use that kind of term.
00:28:39.620
My people were called slaves. You want to call us slaves? Well, yeah, I guess when,
00:28:43.480
when we had slaves, you probably should call them slaves, right? When we had slavery in America,
00:28:50.140
we probably should call the slaves slaves. Because if you call them free, you would be lying
00:28:54.940
and confusing people. But then the slaves were freed in the 13th amendment, and then you wouldn't call
00:29:00.120
them slaves anymore because slavery was abolished. So when, yeah, when there was slavery, you should
00:29:03.800
call people slaves. When they were free, you should call them free. You shouldn't call free people
00:29:06.780
slaves or enslaved people free. What about illegal alien? You want to call them what? Undocumented people.
00:29:14.040
That's not clear language. When I was working as a kid, if I didn't have working papers under the age
00:29:22.640
of 18, I would be an undocumented person, or I wouldn't have the documents for my job. Plenty of
00:29:28.100
people work that way. I actually did get working papers when I started working at 14, 13, 14. So it
00:29:34.020
was no problem. That would be an undoc, if I lose my passport, if I'm traveling, I lose my passport. I
00:29:40.020
would be an undocumented person. I wouldn't be an illegal alien. There was, would be, the ice would
00:29:46.720
not come after me. Sometimes they use this term undocumented American. Not only is that imprecise
00:29:52.600
language, it's a lie. Because the one thing these people are not is Americans. So the term illegal
00:29:58.720
alien, if you think it's a pejorative, you only think that because it describes a bad thing. It's bad
00:30:06.560
to break into, illegal means not legal, right? Not here legally, not lawful. And alien means
00:30:11.680
foreigner. That's all it means. So when we talk about extraterrestrial aliens, we're talking about
00:30:15.500
foreigners from outside of the earth. That's ET. And an alien, a resident alien, that's another legal
00:30:23.100
term. It's all in legal court documents, legal documents since time immemorial. Nothing, both
00:30:28.220
parties agreed on it. There's nothing necessarily offensive about it. The reason you think it's
00:30:32.320
offensive is because it describes a bad thing. And the reason the left has to change the language is
00:30:36.080
because they want to hide the bad thing. Same reason, as I talk about in my book, Speechless
00:30:40.020
Controlling Words, Controlling Minds. It's the same, thank you, is the same reason that the libs try to
00:30:45.280
change words like criminal to say justice-involved person. Because they say criminal, that's got a
00:30:53.300
negative connotation. Yeah, because it describes a negative thing. It describes a bad thing. So then you
00:30:57.980
use this new term, justice-involved person. I promise you that's actually used in left-wing circles.
00:31:01.780
But guess what? If that ever caught on, that would take on a bad connotation. They have to
00:31:08.120
change it again. It's called the euphemism treadmill. Steven Pinker has written about
00:31:11.200
this at length at Harvard. This is what they do with the trans thing. They have to change all the
00:31:17.940
terms. So it's not a man dressing up as a lady or whatever. It's a trans man. So initially transvestite,
00:31:24.720
and you say transsexual, transgender, trans this, trans woman, trans this, that, and the other thing.
00:31:29.340
But it's, it describes a disordered thing. So they have to keep changing the language to hide the
00:31:33.640
reality. There are no illegal aliens in Chicago. Yeah, okay. I guess there are two ways to get rid
00:31:40.440
of the illegal aliens in Chicago. You can either enforce the law, but you don't want that. You're
00:31:44.540
willing to stage an insurrection against the federal government to stop that. Or you can just
00:31:49.320
define them out of existence, but they'll still be there. And they're still going to be using American
00:31:54.400
resources and actual Americans are going to be resentful of that fact. And they're still going to be
00:31:58.200
committing crimes. They're still going to be bringing fentanyl. It's, it's not supposed to be
00:32:02.180
here. Really? And this is why it's very important. You know, sometimes there are squishes on the right
00:32:07.360
who are going to say, well, let's not fight him on the language. This is just semantics. We should,
00:32:10.700
we, you know, we should fight on the real points. You don't get it. You just don't get it.
00:32:15.240
If the language didn't matter, why would Brandon Johnson focus on it so much?
00:32:20.180
Why would the lib spend so much time and energy, so many resources to get you to use
00:32:26.200
imprecise and confusing and usually dishonest language? Because the language obviously does
00:32:30.780
matter. So you have to insist upon it, especially on something as obvious as illegal alien.
00:32:35.580
It's a perfectly neutral term to describe a bad thing that the libs want to hide.
00:32:40.560
Speaking of Democrats of color, racial ID politics, Corrine Jean-Pierre, do you remember her?
00:32:48.060
The spokeslady for President Biden. Corrine Jean-Pierre making the rounds. She goes on a
00:32:53.660
very liberal news network, MSNBC. And Corrine Jean-Pierre was asked actually a slightly tough
00:33:01.160
question by the liberal host. Says, hey, look, this is pretty bad, right? Because you got up to
00:33:06.180
the podium and you would say that Biden's fine and he doesn't have any dementia and his health is great,
00:33:11.020
even though he's apparently got advanced cancer the second he leaves the White House. And
00:33:13.840
come on, like we know, we saw the debate. That's why we had to kick him out as the nominee. And then we
00:33:18.220
had to replace him with Kamala. And so you, you know, come on, do you, do you have, here's a
00:33:23.640
question. Do you have any regrets about the things you might've said? This is the friendly
00:33:28.860
news network. Do you have any regrets about what you did as, as press secretary? Here's what she says.
00:33:34.540
Corrine, do you have any regrets at all for anything that you said while you were speaking
00:33:39.100
I'm look, I just think it's a, it's a simple yes or no. No, no, no, no, no, no, because you're
00:33:46.620
asking for a yes or no question. I want to put some context to it too. I woke up every day. I woke up
00:33:52.060
every day, very proud to be the White House press secretary. I woke up every day as a, as a black
00:34:00.120
woman who is queer, who had never, no one had ever seen someone like me at that podium standing behind
00:34:06.440
that lectern. It was an honor and a privilege to have that job. And I did it to the best of my abilities.
00:34:13.160
This is as much a softball as the host could possibly throw to this woman while still maintaining
00:34:20.120
any credibility, any integrity. Hey, you know, you did, you were exposed as pretty brazenly lying for
00:34:26.180
years. Do you, do you have any regrets? She could have just said no. That's what he was trying to get.
00:34:32.460
No, I don't. Okay. Moving on. But she can't do that. You know what she says?
00:34:42.380
Ma'am, I hope you've had a chance to look over the menu. Could I get us started with some appetizers
00:34:46.760
tonight? Maybe a drink? What would you like to have? I am a black lesbian.
00:34:53.700
Okay. Nevermind. Yeah. Okay. All right. Here we go. SAT. Is the answer A, B, C, or D? Actually,
00:35:03.380
the answer is E. I am a black lesbian. Okay. All right. Nevermind then. That did work. There
00:35:14.680
was a period of time in which that worked. I think that period of time was roughly 2006
00:35:22.220
to 2022, 2023. I think that answer actually would have worked. And I think now people are really sick
00:35:31.900
of it. They're sick of that excuse. I think that's done. I think that's why when Trump made
00:35:38.060
wokeness, which was just another iteration of politically correct identity politics,
00:35:44.920
when he made that a major issue, he put that on the ballot in 2024, when black voters moved in his
00:35:52.200
direction on it, when women moved in his direction on it, when Hispanics really moved in his direction
00:35:58.400
on it, that was the end of it. And so please, nominate AOC, run Mamdani as the face of the Democrat
00:36:07.360
party answer. I'm a, I'm a black lesbian to every question you ever asked. Please do it. Please do
00:36:11.920
it. I think you will find the results will be different than they have been for the past 15 or
00:36:17.120
so years. Today, I'm heading to the United States Senate to testify on what Democrats refuse to
00:36:22.460
acknowledge their complicity. And that is the rise of left-wing political violence. You've seen the
00:36:26.500
headlines. You've watched the chaos. Now Washington has to hear the truth. Watch today live on Daily Wire
00:36:31.200
plus at 2 30 PM Eastern as I bring the story. The media would rather you never hear because when lies
00:36:37.260
are the weapon, truth is an act of courage. The Daily Wire is here to lead the fight, but we cannot
00:36:41.360
do it without your support. Join today at dailywire.com. My favorite comment yesterday is from ds-nw4eq.
00:36:50.960
It is referring to Gavin Newsom, his interview in which he essentially described himself as a young
00:36:57.260
black child. He said, dude would crip walk on national TV to become president. Sup homies, white
00:37:04.420
people. Am I right? Yes, that's true. That's what we learned. That's what we, hey, hey, you dig slim.
00:37:10.820
Don't worry. I talk jive. How you, how you, how you, how you hanging turkey? Is that going to work
00:37:18.680
from the whitest man ever to run for president, including the guys in powdered wigs? I, has a
00:37:26.060
whiter man ever run for president than Gavin Newsom? Scion of the financial advisor to the
00:37:33.920
Getty fortune. I don't, good luck. I was hooping, you know, banging that basketball up against the
00:37:40.040
wall, waiting for my pops to come home, picking up that milk. That's what he said. Oh, not verbatim,
00:37:45.660
basically what he said. Oh, look, my dad's was out there, finally showed up. See my basketball
00:37:51.240
game. I was eating all that wonder bread and mac and cheese. You dig slim? Okay, great. We got you.
00:37:59.300
We got AOC. Ah, we got, who else is running? Mayor Pete. Mayor, I don't know. Mayor Pete might be the
00:38:05.120
most normal one wants to run. Speaking of pookie ladies. Ah, I was, I was kind of hoping that we
00:38:13.920
talk about other stuff long enough. I wouldn't have to get to this story, but I have to. It's
00:38:17.100
here. It's listed in my rundown for mine. Courtney Kardashian. We're in New York Post. Courtney
00:38:24.560
Kardashian is launching lollipops for your, for a ladies parts. This is a family show, so I don't
00:38:33.580
want to get graphic, you know, with like the post headline, but, or the product. Courtney Kardashian,
00:38:39.840
she's one of the, she's one of the Kardashians, I take it. She has a LEM, LEM or LEMI line of
00:38:45.860
products. They all have a lot of products. And the LEMI per supplement is, they have probiotic
00:38:53.640
gummies. They have pills designed to support women's, shall we say, reproductive health. It's
00:39:00.180
available at Target. Now they have it in lollipop form.
00:39:08.640
Courtney, Courtney Kardashian is selling a lollipop and instructing, this is like normal
00:39:15.280
stores at Target, instructing women to stick it
00:39:18.380
in places you usually wouldn't put a lollipop. Let's just leave it at that. Let's just leave
00:39:24.500
the description at that because this is a family show and I would like to keep my breakfast down.
00:39:29.380
Why mention this at all? Because the Kardashians as one of the emblems of American liberalism
00:39:38.540
remind us that these are the people who for decades have said they are the party of science.
00:39:46.620
The party of science is instructing you to take a lollipop. I said we were done with the
00:39:54.560
descriptions and we're done with it. But that's what they're instructing you to do, the party of
00:39:57.380
science. The party of science, which said the world was going to end a few years ago. Remember,
00:40:03.720
because they've been predicting this for many years. We've been doing the show long enough now
00:40:06.760
that time is up. Some of these predictions, the world was supposed to end like eight years ago in
00:40:12.440
some cases. It's not ended. AOC, what was it? In 2018, she predicted the world had nine or 12 years
00:40:20.180
left. So we're getting pretty close on that one. World still seems to be spinning around.
00:40:26.420
Don't let them, don't let them mock you for RFK Jr. citing Harvard and Columbia and Johns Hopkins
00:40:34.820
studies on the effects of Tylenol in utero. They mock you for that. They mock you for saying that
00:40:40.800
the world will probably not end five years ago. They mock you for suggesting that the Fauci-ouchie
00:40:47.780
wouldn't prevent you from contracting the virus, the Wu flu, or from spreading it or for whatever.
00:40:53.340
And then you were right all along. It's not to say that experts have nothing to say about science.
00:40:59.120
I'm not a populist on scientific discoveries, though I'm skeptical of what many of the supposed
00:41:04.140
experts would say. But it's fine. Now we have our experts. One of our experts steps in there,
00:41:09.320
the Secretary of Health and Human Services, citing lots of other scientists and major
00:41:14.620
institutions, and says, hey, you know, and actually the pharmaceutical manufacturer themselves in the
00:41:19.020
case of Tylenol. They say, hey, but because we say it, that has to be dismissed. These, the people who
00:41:26.440
want you to put vitamin lollipops in your nether regions. You don't have to take that. The party that
00:41:34.860
upholds is the great oracle of science, a Swedish child on a sailboat. You don't have to put up with
00:41:41.000
that. And you don't have to put their products up inside you. You don't have to do that. Okay.
00:41:47.280
One more bit on kooky ladies. I've mentioned AOC could run for president, Kevin Newsom,
00:41:54.340
all these. We should deal with the Kamala in the room. Because Kamala sort of has left the door open
00:42:00.540
that maybe she wants to run. She was the nominee last time. Probably she's not going to get it
00:42:03.980
again. But because that was an unprecedented kind of election, and because Kamala, you know,
00:42:11.220
she feels she didn't really get a full showing. She wants to be president, obviously. People keep
00:42:15.940
asking, the major Democrats, if she could be the nominee. Here is Arizona Senator Mark Kelly,
00:42:22.120
asked this question by NBC News. Could Kamala be the nominee in 2028? Mark Kelly,
00:42:28.400
as establishment a figure in the Democrat Party, as there is, U.S. Senator, here's his response.
00:42:35.300
Do you think that Kamala Harris would be a strong candidate in 2028?
00:42:39.880
Candidate? Yeah, absolutely. Yeah, I mean, she was the nominee last time.
00:42:47.820
Okay, okay. Now, so you see, this is where I got to tell you, just like I told you to listen
00:42:53.200
carefully to what Steve Bannon was saying, you have to listen carefully to what Mark Kelly is saying
00:42:56.440
here. Because the headline from this is, Mark Kelly says Kamala would be great in 2028. That's
00:43:00.940
not what he said. That's not what he said. He was, let's go to the clip again. He was asked,
00:43:07.620
do you think she would be good in 2028? And he clarifies. Here's what he says.
00:43:12.720
Do you think that Kamala Harris would be a strong candidate in 2028?
00:43:19.020
She was a strong candidate? Oh, yeah, a candidate for sure. And people heard nominee.
00:43:26.160
Nominee. He didn't say nominee. Candidate. In a primary. So that she could lose before anyone
00:43:33.060
else, just like she did in 2016. The only other time she had to run in a primary.
00:43:38.740
The not so subtle, esoteric statement that he's making there is, she would be a horrible nominee.
00:43:45.640
But sure, she can run. She has name recognition. She could raise some money. Sure, she could be a
00:43:51.820
candidate. Mark Kelly manifestly does not believe that she would be a good nominee in 2028.
00:43:59.320
No Democrat, I think including Kamala Harris, thinks that she would be a good nominee in 2028.
00:44:04.340
She got clobbered by Trump and she let Trump win the popular vote for the first time as a Republican
00:44:07.700
in 20 years. No one thinks she would be. So if we're being really brutally honest, Mark Kelly should
00:44:13.260
have said no. If she's not going to be the nominee, that by definition means she wouldn't be a good
00:44:16.500
candidate. I guess she could go on TV and raise her book prices or something, but she wouldn't be.
00:44:25.080
Nobody believes she would be a good nominee in 2028. But none of them can admit it. Because she's not a
00:44:34.180
black lesbian like Kareem Shumper here, but she's a black lady and you're not allowed to say that. She
00:44:38.220
was picked to be VP because she was a black lady. Joe Biden said that himself. Those are his words,
00:44:42.540
not mine. No one can say it. The Democrats are in this brutal spot right now where they can't quite
00:44:51.040
say what they mean. They can't quite pick a position on any issue. They can't quite run. They're really
00:44:57.960
backed into a corner. Gavin Newsom, who's doing a pretty good job running, he wants to be friends
00:45:04.620
with Charlie Kirk and Steve Bannon. He can't befriend Republicans. So then he's got to swing back the other
00:45:09.380
way and he's got to call Stephen Miller a fascist right after the fascist war cry was what preceded
00:45:17.760
Charlie Kirk's assassination. He's got to go in this really violent, not so subtly violent direction.
00:45:23.200
He can't, they can't figure it out. They want to ditch woke, but then Momdani is going to double
00:45:29.160
down on transing the kids and they're all going to endorse Momdani. And they can't, and they got to
00:45:33.620
pretend that Kamala is a good candidate and they can't, they're just totally stuck. It's why they've
00:45:37.680
shut down the government and it's why they can't reopen it. They're just totally stuck. The one
00:45:41.400
issue they thought that they could, they could maybe turn their fortunes around on was healthcare.
00:45:45.780
So they tried to make the government shut down about healthcare. But then Republicans come in
00:45:48.980
and say, you're shutting the government down because your stupid healthcare law didn't work,
00:45:52.600
Obamacare. And because you want to give healthcare to illegal aliens. And they grudgingly have to admit,
00:45:56.700
yeah, I guess that's probably, yeah, shoot. So they got nothing. Maybe they can try, I'm a black woman.
00:46:02.780
Maybe they can try, I'm a black lesbian. They can, I don't think other than that,
00:46:05.600
I don't think they have anything. Okay. No member black today. I have to, speaking of the Senate,
00:46:09.260
I have to go testify before the Senate. So you can check that out. We're going to be live streaming
00:46:12.660
it. And then I will see you tomorrow on Michael Knowles, Michael Knowles Show.
