The Michael Knowles Show - Ep. 1844 - Is Trump Going To Run For A Third Term？

00:00:00.000 Is President Trump going to seek a third term?

00:00:02.880 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, 0.99

00:00:12.960 and damn if he isn't a dictator. 0.97

00:00:16.000 He got back into office, and his former chief strategist, 0.99

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.

00:00:31.680 So what about the 22nd Amendment?

00:00:34.400 There's many different alternatives.

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, 0.99

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 I'm sorry to have to say that. I'm even sorrier to have to say that Kourtney Kardashian is now

00:02:53.760 selling lollipops for women's insides. We'll get to that if we must. First, though, I want to tell you

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 0.98

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.

00:05:25.260 So what about the 22nd Amendment?

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. 0.97

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 1.00

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.

00:10:10.680 Let AOC go against Trump.

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 0.96

00:11:28.020 he could have become a lame duck, right? Because he can't run for reelection. However, because Trump 0.80

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 0.79

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 1.00

00:16:11.600 very strong political skills. She might just go after Schumer, try to take his seat in the Senate 1.00

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, 1.00

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. 0.76

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 0.70

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 1.00

00:17:22.300 groups and historical events. But she's not controlled. So she's calling attention to, 0.92

00:17:28.300 first of all, the people behind her all look foreign. And that's the strategy. The strategy is 0.94

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 0.71

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 1.00

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 0.61

00:18:47.840 to get a Muslim communist in New York. Okay, so maybe that works for New York. Does that work 0.89

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 1.00

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 0.69

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. 0.82

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 0.99

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. 0.94

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 0.97

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 0.85

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,

00:22:45.560 we work as corporations here.

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, 1.00

00:22:56.600 he's basically a Wahhabi. What are you talking about? He tweets about queer liberation. 0.89

00:23:00.980 They said, no, you don't know how dangerous he is. He's a Muslim. I said, in some ways, 1.00

00:23:04.200 it'd be better if you were a serious Muslim. At least those guys, at least they're grounded. 1.00

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 1.00

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. 0.72

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, 0.94

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. 0.94

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

00:26:31.380 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 1.00

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.

00:28:14.660 Yes, it is sometimes.

00:28:15.420 Thank you for the clarification on language.

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 0.77

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. 1.00

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 0.55

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 0.99

00:30:11.680 foreigner. That's all it means. So when we talk about extraterrestrial aliens, we're talking about 0.90

00:30:15.500 foreigners from outside of the earth. That's ET. And an alien, a resident alien, that's another legal 1.00

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 1.00

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, 0.65

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 0.98

00:31:40.440 of the illegal aliens in Chicago. You can either enforce the law, but you don't want that. You're 1.00

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

00:33:37.900 on behalf of this administration?

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 0.99

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? 0.98

00:34:38.440 I am a black lesbian.

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. 1.00

00:34:53.700 Okay. Nevermind. Yeah. Okay. All right. Here we go. SAT. Is the answer A, B, C, or D? Actually, 0.92

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 0.94

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 1.00

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. 0.89

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 0.74

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 1.00

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 0.98

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 0.99

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 1.00

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 0.84

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 1.00

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, 1.00

00:41:54.340 all these. We should deal with the Kamala in the room. Because Kamala sort of has left the door open 1.00

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, 1.00

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. 0.65

00:42:43.960 You would encourage her to run?

00:42:45.000 I think she would be incredibly strong.

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?

00:43:17.020 Candidate? Yeah, absolutely.

00:43:18.000 Okay, that's all you need to hear.

00:43:19.020 She was a strong candidate? Oh, yeah, a candidate for sure. And people heard nominee. 1.00

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. 0.87

00:43:38.740 The not so subtle, esoteric statement that he's making there is, she would be a horrible nominee. 0.93

00:43:45.640 But sure, she can run. She has name recognition. She could raise some money. Sure, she could be a 1.00

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. 0.70

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 0.98

00:44:16.500 candidate. I guess she could go on TV and raise her book prices or something, but she wouldn't be. 1.00

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 1.00

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, 1.00

00:45:52.600 Obamacare. And because you want to give healthcare to illegal aliens. And they grudgingly have to admit, 1.00

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.
