00:00:54.620 A 16-year-old lifeguard saves a 10-year-old boy
00:00:57.380 from 10-foot waves in Santa Cruz
00:00:59.960 as White Boy Summer reaches its absolute apotheosis. We will get into the hidden
00:01:06.060 cultural reasons why everyone cannot get enough of this story. It's actually a lot more than the
00:01:12.120 heroic act. Then, New York City Mayor Zoran Mamdani doxes nearly a million of his rich
00:01:18.220 constituents as he promises to take away their property. This is a key insight into what
00:01:24.040 socialism is really all about. Spoiler alert, it is not about helping the poor. And President
00:01:29.460 Trump eulogizes Lindsey Graham as the late senator is laid to rest. Clips galore. I'm
00:01:36.000 Michael Knowles. This is The Michael Knowles Show. Welcome back to the show. Ohio Republican-ish
00:01:59.380 Governor Mike DeWine is imploring the White House not to send Haitians back to Haiti.
00:02:06.140 Haitians who were supposed to, they were given temporary status in America. They were supposed
00:02:10.140 to leave like 14 years ago. They didn't. They kept putting it off and off and off. Now he says
00:02:14.140 you can't send it back to Haiti because Haiti is hell. Doesn't that kind of sounds to me like he's
00:02:19.060 calling Haiti an SHIT whole country? I thought you weren't supposed to say that. Anyway, we'll 0.99
00:02:22.960 get into it first a biggest story this 16 year old hero 16 year old giga chad lifeguard in santa
00:02:33.520 cruz he's looking out they're big waves eight to ten foot waves and i think we have video of it
00:02:39.020 people on the beach were capturing a video of this ten foot waves and this guy swims out because he
00:02:44.820 sees a little kid's head a little 10 year old's head bobbing up for a little bit in the water
00:02:49.120 and going back down in the water, this kid was going to die. This kid was going to get
00:02:52.380 pulled out. Major, major waves here. 16-year-old kid handles it perfectly,
00:02:59.160 fights these waves for two minutes, just pulling this kid, lock grip on the kid,
00:03:04.700 pulling him back into shore. Finally, some people from on the beach, a few other guys came in,
00:03:09.420 they're trying to help the lifeguard and the kid get out, but the waves just keep
00:03:12.660 pummeling these guys. 16-year-old saves the kid. Unbelievable footage, unbelievable heroism.
00:03:22.600 So much so that President Trump is inviting the lifeguard to the White House to give him a very
00:03:29.180 high civilian honor. Trump says, we are going to bring this heroic young man and his family into
00:03:34.420 the White House with perhaps the boy he saved to give him a high civilian honor, very brave he
00:03:39.140 deserves at President Donald J. Trump. Trump, uncharacteristically, by the way, posted that
00:03:44.820 to X. He usually posts everything to Truth Social, which he owns, and then the posts from Truth
00:03:51.120 Social end up going viral on every other social media platform. Here, though, President Trump
00:03:55.120 posted it directly to X. It shows you that this cultural moment matters even more than most of
00:04:02.920 the things that President Trump weighs in on. It seemed to tap into something in the popular culture
00:04:09.440 Trump has a great gut for these things.
00:04:11.400 So he knew it.
00:04:12.280 He could feel that viscerally.
00:04:13.980 Why?
00:04:15.480 Why is this the moment?
00:04:19.040 Yes, the act of heroism was amazing.
00:04:22.080 Yes, thank God the 10-year-old boy was saved.
00:04:24.480 But why?
00:04:26.460 Plenty of people die every year drowning.
00:04:29.860 There are plenty of acts of heroism
00:04:31.740 every single day across the United States.
00:04:33.860 They never get any mention.
00:04:34.920 There's no viral clips, no high civilian honors.
00:04:38.420 Why this one? People love this story, not just because it is virtuous, but because
00:04:49.120 it shows all the things that we're told can't happen anymore. That's why people love this story.
00:04:57.640 What's the nuts and bolts of this story? The action was not only virtuous. The action was
00:05:04.400 not only heroic, it was manly. It was really manly. It'd be manly for a 25-year-old guy to
00:05:10.360 jump into those waves to save the kid, much less a 17-year-old kid. And I mentioned at the top,
00:05:16.840 this is the absolute apotheosis of white boy summer, this trend that showed up, what was it, 0.77
00:05:21.300 three years ago now? They said, we're going to have a white boy summer. Tom Hanks' kid said, 0.66
00:05:24.440 boys, this could be a white boy summer. And no one knew exactly what that meant.
00:05:27.280 is that a racial identitarian statement? No, is it? What is it? I think in the scope of Providence,
00:05:35.600 the whole meme of white boy summer was the setup to this payoff. This is the punchline. 0.66
00:05:41.840 This is the apotheosis of white boy summer. And it's all the good things that white boy summer 0.97
00:05:46.760 could possibly be. And the culture loves this because this is all the stuff we're told can't
00:05:50.960 happen. Because we are told on the race point, we're told white people are bad. Whiteness is 0.96
00:05:55.540 evil. Whiteness is toxic. Whiteness needs to be abolished. Whiteness is oppression. There are 1.00
00:06:00.280 courses taught in universities around the country about the evils of whiteness. And here you got 0.95
00:06:05.340 this white boy being aided by a more of a swarthy guy there at the end there and some other. But
00:06:10.160 you see a white guy doing something really, really good. And it's a guy, by the way. Did
00:06:17.480 I mention he's a guy? We're told masculinity is toxic. Masculinity is misogynistic. We can't have
00:06:24.600 all this harsh, you see a bunch of guys, there were like four guys here of all different builds
00:06:29.940 and races, but they're all trying to help this lifeguard come in. We're told that young people
00:06:35.020 are checked out, incels, losers, can't get anywhere, don't want to pull themselves up by 0.95
00:06:42.000 their bootstraps. They're whining. They're whining on the left because they're socialists. 0.99
00:06:46.740 They're whining on the right because they're doomers. And here's a young guy, here's a teenage 0.55
00:06:51.620 kid going out there, risking his life, not even for someone who's close to him, but for just
00:06:58.580 someone he doesn't know out there who needs saving. What this story taps into is a proof
00:07:07.400 that all of the vicious, evil slander that you have heard about different groups, white people,
00:07:15.760 men, young people, sensitive young men, all that slander you've heard might not be
00:07:21.540 true. And the slander you've heard about this country, we don't care about anybody anymore.
00:07:25.920 We don't have any patriotism, any sense of community, any sense of sacrifice. We're all
00:07:30.460 just takers now. We're not makers. We're not asking what we can do for our country. We only
00:07:35.040 ask what our country can do for us. It disproves all of that. So it's totally aspirational.
00:07:41.440 And it is a proof that all the worst people in our country who have just tried to get us to feel
00:07:47.740 so bad about ourselves that maybe just maybe they're wrong. And this is why it's so appropriate
00:07:52.840 for this kid to get a high civilian honor at the White House. This is why honors at the White
00:07:58.400 House exist. This is why the presidency exists in large part, because the legislature is the
00:08:05.700 appetitive part of the government. It's supposed to be responsive to the sensitive needs of the
00:08:09.460 demos. And the judiciary is supposed to be the logical part of the government, which is just
00:08:13.440 analyzing the law, and they're not as emotional, and they're disinterested. But the executive,
00:08:20.440 the presidency, is supposed to be the thematic part of the government, the spirited part of
00:08:23.860 the government that encourages the common good, that encourages patriotism, that rewards acts of
00:08:31.080 heroism like this, among other things. That's what this is about. It's a little glimmer of hope
00:08:37.020 that everything we've heard, mostly from the left, but it's infected the right a little bit too,
00:08:42.380 everything we've heard about how much everything sucks might be wrong.
00:08:47.260 That even the people who are most maligned, who are actually disadvantaged as a matter of law, 0.97
00:08:54.000 you know, that we need more women in schools. We got to put these men back in their place.
00:08:59.160 We need affirmative action. We need to sort of punish white people and Asian people a little 1.00
00:09:03.180 bit too, because it's bad and it's toxic and whatever. That all of that, no, we're not doing 1.00
00:09:08.460 that anymore. There is a glimmer of hope. That's the hope of the story. Yes, it surrounds these
00:09:14.200 two individuals, but it touches something so much more. That's why it went viral. Now, you look at
00:09:19.240 the flip side of this. Go up to New York, Zoran Mamdani. Zoran Mamdani, who is the poster boy,
00:09:25.040 the poster overgrown boy, the poster 30-something-year-old child, petulant, whining. He says,
00:09:34.600 no, no, no. Politics is a zero-sum game. We need to eat the rich. We need to take from some people
00:09:40.560 in order to give to other people. Zoran Mamdani is the face of socialism in America, maybe even
00:09:47.740 more so than AOC. And Zoran Mamdani now is going to finally put some action to his words. He ran
00:09:55.000 on this campaign of, we're going to help the poor. The rich don't pay their fair share, and the poor
00:10:00.760 are getting screwed. And so we're going to take from the rich to give to the poor
00:10:04.220 because we want to help the poor. And how's he going to do this? He's going to do this through
00:10:08.280 what he's calling a pied-à-terre tax, a tax on the second homes of only the uber, super-duper
00:10:14.800 wealthy who don't even stay in their homes. And that's going to fix housing for New Yorkers.
00:10:19.440 That's going to bring costs down. It's going to finally give the working man a fair shake.
00:10:24.100 And yet, as Mamdani goes in to implement this, he proves that all of that is bunk.
00:10:31.220 He proves the true nature of socialism, which is not to help the poor.
00:10:35.840 It is to hurt the rich.
00:10:38.120 If the poor get helped as a consequence, fine.
00:10:42.380 And they won't actually because of how socialism actually works.
00:10:46.100 But the primary aim of socialism and of communism is not really to help the poor.
00:10:53.720 It is to hurt the rich.
00:10:55.180 To go back to the words of Karl Marx,
00:10:56.980 Karl Marx who called for the ruthless criticism
00:10:58.960 of all that exists.
00:11:00.200 Karl Marx, whose favorite line of literature
00:11:01.720 comes from Goethe's Faust,
00:11:03.200 in which Marx says that everything that exists
00:11:05.720 deserves to perish.
00:11:07.680 Marx's ideology, Marx's political project, 0.88
00:11:10.780 which is really a destructive project.
00:11:13.120 It's not a constructive project.
00:11:15.060 It's not about building a better world.
00:11:16.600 It's about tearing down the world that exists.
00:11:18.680 That's what Manbani is showing you.
00:11:20.100 Because the way this is going to be implemented
00:11:21.720 is that he is going to dox his wealthy constituents. He is going to, after he's been
00:11:30.520 ginning up all of this hatred of the supposed super duper rich who are not paying their fair
00:11:34.360 share, supposedly, he is going to dox them. He's going to tell all the people that he's been
00:11:39.820 riling up the left, which is extremely violent these days. He's going to tell them where they
00:11:45.820 live. After in New York, you had that CEO of the healthcare company, of the insurance company,
00:11:51.220 murdered in cold blood by Luigi Mangione, who is now a cult figure on the left.
00:11:55.980 He's got supporters protesting outside of the courtroom in his defense.
00:12:00.320 Shot the guy in cold blood just because he was wealthy.
00:12:03.760 You got Zoran Mamdani saying, hey, in this context of political violence against wealthy people,
00:12:09.880 I'm going to tell you where they live.
00:12:11.520 And by the way, it's not just the super duper wealthy.
00:12:14.080 The number of people that he is doxing here is multiples and an order of magnitude larger
00:12:18.680 than he told you it was going to be.
00:12:19.740 We'll get to what that is in a second.
00:12:20.980 We will also get to the political consequences because in a midterm election year that should
00:12:26.500 see Republicans get totally destroyed, there is actually a decent chance right now that a
00:12:30.480 Republican wins the New York governor's race. Shocking a lot of people. We'll get to all of
00:12:34.980 that in a second. First, I want to tell you about my dinner last night. I want to tell you about
00:12:38.500 Good Ranchers. Go to goodranchers.com, code Knowles, K-N-A-W-L-E-S. What did I have for dinner?
00:12:44.480 What did I have for dinner? I come home. It was not, I don't think it was last night. It was two
00:12:50.120 nights ago, actually. I come home and sweet little Lisa says, Mac, I made drumsticks. I said,
00:12:59.520 drumsticks? That's so weird. We don't eat drumsticks a lot. I said, drumsticks? Okay.
00:13:03.300 I was actually a little bit, I was kind of disappointed. Then I said, hold on, wait,
00:13:06.840 is it Good Ranchers? He was like, uh-huh, we got some in the last box. I was like, okay,
00:13:10.560 all right, let's give it a shot. Delicious. Delicious. Best drumsticks I've ever had.
00:13:18.120 nice mix up from the usual, you know, do a lot of red meat. All the meat from Good Ranchers is
00:13:22.440 magnificent. But even the drumsticks aren't my favorite. They were delicious. And I want to

00:13:43.460 the team. Just get it. Just there's not, I should tell you not to get it. I should tell you not to
00:13:49.900 get Good Ranchers so there's more Good Ranchers for me. But I'm too kind-hearted. I'm too

00:14:11.200 Mamdani initially had suggested that this tax was going to affect 31,000 people.
00:14:19.740 Now, in a city of how many million is New York up to now?
00:14:22.220 10 million, more than 10 million people probably.
00:14:25.080 31,000 people, it's just a small number.
00:14:27.020 They're not even really New Yorkers.
00:14:28.360 These are just second homes.
00:14:29.400 Not true.
00:14:30.540 According to the New York Post, 960,000 residences and individuals were doxed by Mamdani's administration.
00:14:41.200 Hold on. You said it was only 31,000 people that were going to soak, that were going to take their
00:14:45.540 property. Now it's almost a million New Yorkers. That's a real serious percentage of the total
00:14:55.240 New Yorkers. The city's finance department uploaded this doxing list of all residences
00:15:02.800 in the five boroughs worth over a million dollars. All residences worth over a million dollars.
00:15:07.660 this is New York City. A million dollars will get you a tenement. This is New York City. This is
00:15:13.760 some of the wealthiest, most expensive real estate in the country. They then included the full names
00:15:20.040 and addresses of every property owner, including a guy who's on the city council, city council
00:15:26.180 minority leader, David Carr, who's from Staten Island, which is the only reliably Republican
00:15:37.660 very important takeaways. The project of socialism, of communism, of leftism broadly,
00:15:42.280 you can't separate these things now at a time when the democratic socialists of America
00:15:45.420 are more popular with rank and file Democrat voters than Democrat members of Congress.
00:15:51.620 The leftist project is primarily about envy. Winston Churchill had this famous line. He said
00:15:57.820 that socialism is the gospel of envy and the creed of ignorance. So it's this gospel of envy,
00:16:03.920 envy which the great political philosophers all the way up through the great writers of
00:16:07.560 literature point out, envy is the cause of evils in the city. This is about envy. This is not about
00:16:14.120 improving conditions for working-class people. This is about taking from the supposedly rich 0.58
00:16:18.360 people. But in New York City, you talk about a million people now? Not just to say, hey,
00:16:23.880 we're going to take money from a generic million people, but we're going to punish a generic 0.67
00:16:28.120 million people particularly, but we're going to tell all of you where they live,
00:16:31.420 all of you increasingly violent people it's about punishing the rich and the rich the number of the
00:16:40.420 rich always expands so even if people are willing to make moral compromises here and say you know
00:16:44.400 what yeah look maybe it's wrong that we're singling out this small number of people but
00:16:48.680 whatever it's fine they have so much money anyway let's take from them and let's give everybody else
00:16:52.560 it's not going to affect me the number of the rich always expands when these projects are
00:16:59.400 implemented. You might be fine taking the money from the Jeff Bezos's and the Elon Musk's and the
00:17:05.120 Mark Zuckerberg's of the world, but very, very quickly, in this case, before the policy is even
00:17:10.020 implemented, it's going to expand by an order of magnitude and more. And sooner than later,
00:17:16.720 it's going to come for you too. No one is going to be helped by this. Nobody, no poor person's
00:17:22.740 life is actually going to improve as a result of Mamdani's policies. But an ever-increasing number 0.59
00:17:28.940 of people are going to be seriously hurt by this. Financially, and if you're releasing doxing lists,
00:17:35.220 very likely physically. And even if you're willing to make moral compromises here,
00:17:40.600 which I don't recommend, you might find yourself on that list sooner than later.
00:17:44.220 So this is not playing very well in New York. New York Governor Kathy Hochul is running for
00:17:49.840 re-election. There was a poll that came out June 23rd. This is from Siena University.
00:17:54.660 She was, as usual in New York, absolutely clobbering Bruce Blakeman, who is a county
00:18:00.340 executive in New York, a Republican opponent.
00:18:02.380 She was clobbering. 1.00
00:18:03.080 It was 52 to 32. 0.60
00:18:04.300 It was a 20-point swing.
00:18:06.240 New poll out.
00:18:07.480 Do we have, yeah, new poll just comes out from Coefficient.
00:18:11.880 This is on July 2nd.
00:18:13.680 Race tightens up, 47 to 41.
00:18:17.020 So now you've got a six-point swing.
00:18:19.060 Another poll comes out 10 days later from Red Oak Strategic, 47 to 43.
00:18:24.160 with 10% undecided. So now you've got a four point race in New York. I worked in New York
00:18:31.640 politics. I cut my teeth in politics working on campaigns in New York. I have a lot of friends
00:18:36.460 in the New York political scene. I have been there for every New York governor race that we thought
00:18:40.500 we were maybe going to win and we don't have. It doesn't happen. Carl Palladino, that wasn't going
00:18:44.160 to happen. Rob Astorino, it didn't happen. The Senate races, Wendy Long, it didn't happen.
00:18:49.460 In this case, you're looking at a four-point race.
00:18:52.080 And what's so astounding about it is, I worked in New York politics.
00:18:56.500 First race I worked on was in 2010.
00:18:58.160 This was a major Republican year.
00:18:59.420 It was kind of the inverse of the year we're in right now.
00:19:02.000 Obama had just gotten elected in a landslide in 2008.
00:19:05.000 First midterm after that election is the Tea Party election.
00:19:08.960 Republicans had all the wind at our sails.
00:19:10.560 This was the one that gave Republicans back the House of Representatives,
00:19:13.420 and still the Republican candidates getting clobbered in the state races in New York.
00:19:17.700 Here, this should be much worse. 1.00
00:19:19.500 Kathy Hochul should be running away with this race. 1.00
00:19:21.500 This should be a 20-point race. 1.00
00:19:23.640 Now it's down to four points.
00:19:26.380 Totally against the winds of politics, totally against the winds of history.
00:19:29.920 Because another message for everyone who's doom and gloom and everyone who's disappointed
00:19:34.520 because the Republicans haven't done enough and there's always something to complain about there.
00:19:38.940 No matter how disappointing the Republicans are, at this moment in history,
00:19:44.080 the Democrats are even less popular.
00:19:47.120 The Democrats appear even more toxic. 0.95
00:19:50.880 The Democrats appear even more dangerous. 0.93
00:19:52.960 This is a really, really good sign.
00:19:54.260 I don't know if the Republicans are going to win in New York.
00:19:56.060 Probably he won't.
00:19:57.420 Like every single thing is working against the Republicans
00:20:00.100 other than the sheer toxicity, perfidy, threat
00:20:05.240 that people perceive from the Democrat Party.
00:20:08.380 Now, Hochul has a fourfold fundraising advantage here.
00:20:11.520 but make no mistake the democrats are squandering their midterm advantage and they're squandering
00:20:19.200 their midterm advantage because they made a deal with the devil like carl marx you read carl marx's
00:20:23.840 poetry you read his private writings this guy did not just have economic problems though he had a
00:20:30.060 lot of those too he was always borrowing money from his buddy angles he had very serious spiritual
00:20:33.820 problems i mean he he writes about making deals with the devil that sort of thing he writes about
00:20:38.420 what seems like demonic oppression. And the Dems made a deal with the devil when they embraced
00:20:42.940 the super woke part of their constituency, when they embraced political violence,
00:20:47.960 when they embraced mutilating little children, when they embraced murdering children.
00:20:52.940 The chickens are coming home to roost on all of that. And Republicans are going to have to put
00:20:58.300 the pedal to the metal on every one of these races to have a shot of overcoming the historic
00:21:02.920 disadvantage they're at right now. But there is a chance. It's like dumb and dumber. You're
00:21:09.480 telling me there is a chance. So Republicans, of course, are going to do everything they can
00:21:13.060 to clutch defeat from the joys of victory as they always do, including a very strange case here.
00:21:17.740 Ohio Governor Mike DeWine, Republican governor of Ohio, Ohio, reliably Republican state.
00:21:23.740 Mike DeWine is taking issue with one of the most popular things that the Trump administration has
00:21:30.460 done to date. Trump, who was elected in large part promising mass migration, wins the popular
00:21:35.940 vote effectively on that point. Trump says, okay, forget about deporting 20 million people.
00:21:42.460 Forget about deporting Abuela or your gardener. At the very least, we're going to deport the 0.97
00:21:46.900 Haitians who have no right to stay permanently in this country, who were brought here some 14 1.00
00:21:52.320 years ago, who were supposed to leave 18 months later, who didn't leave 18 months later, who just 0.98
00:21:58.660 stayed and stayed and stayed, and no one would ever let them be deported back and lose their
00:22:01.800 temporary protected status, which was ostensibly because of a natural disaster in Haiti. 0.89
00:22:06.720 So much so that now the argument is you can't deport these Haitians because they have 0.90
00:22:10.040 hundreds of thousands of children, because they have mortgages at a time when Gen Z can't get 0.76
00:22:15.380 mortgages. Gen Z actual Americans can't get mortgages. And you say, well, they shouldn't 0.63
00:22:18.940 have had children here. They shouldn't have gotten homes here. They shouldn't have mortgages here. 0.62
00:22:22.080 They shouldn't have been allowed to stay in the country long enough to do that.
00:22:24.020 And it's a Republican governor of Ohio who's saying you can't deport them.
00:22:28.140 And his reasoning is just beautiful. 1.00
00:22:30.340 He says you can't deport the Haitians back to Haiti because you'd be sending them back to hell. 1.00
00:22:36.360 Trump got in so much trouble for calling a bunch of countries around the world SHIT, whole countries. 1.00
00:22:41.820 And we were told by all the Dems and all of the really nice, fancy, civil Republicans who just really want to be polite. 0.99
00:22:48.640 We were told you can't say that.
00:22:50.360 How dare you?
00:22:51.060 That's so racist. 0.98
00:22:52.140 that's so xenophobic and nativist. 1.00
00:22:54.680 How dare you call a country an SHIT whole country? 1.00
00:22:57.000 Mike DeWine, poster child for these polite Republicans 1.00
00:22:59.920 who are opposing Trump on an important issue.
00:23:02.280 Mike DeWine says the same thing.
00:23:04.240 Hold on, you're allowed to call a country hell, 1.00
00:23:07.000 but you can't call it an SHIT whole? 1.00
00:23:10.020 Hell is worse than an SHIT whole. 1.00
00:23:11.960 They're really effectively synonymous, 0.99
00:23:13.840 but if either of them are going to be worse,
00:23:15.500 it's going to be hell.
00:23:16.800 Why does he get allowed?
00:23:18.220 Why is he allowed to say it when Trump is not?
00:23:20.960 And why is Haiti hell?
00:23:22.140 We'll get to that momentarily first, though. I want to tell you about preborn. Go to preborn.com 1.00
00:23:27.720 slash Knowles, K-N-W-L-E-S. Every human being begins life the same way. Small, totally dependent 0.98
00:23:32.040 on someone else, totally worthy of protection. At preborn network clinics, mothers facing
00:23:35.820 unexpected pregnancies receive a free ultrasound. When a mother sees her baby and hears that
00:23:40.320 heartbeat for the first time, more than 80% choose life. That one moment, when you hear the heartbeat,
00:23:46.640 it changes everything. Preborn does not stop there. They keep walking alongside mothers with
00:23:50.560 practical support so they don't have to face the future alone. That is what makes this ministry so
00:23:55.320 powerful. Just $28 provides one life-saving ultrasound, an opportunity for a mother to 0.96
00:24:00.460 meet her baby for the very first time. It's the best return on investment that you are going to
00:24:03.940 get any way you spend your money, just about. If you believe every life has value, this is one of
00:24:09.820 the most meaningful ways you can put that belief into action. Preborn also raises for its admin
00:24:14.240 costs separately, so every dollar you give is going towards saving babies. Give what you can
00:24:18.480 right now. $28 sponsors one ultrasound, $280 sponsors 10, and you're very likely to be saving
00:24:24.720 over five lives. To donate, dial pound 250 to say keyword baby. That is pound 250, keyword baby,
00:24:29.760 or give securely at preborn.com slash Knowles, K-N-O-W-L-E-S, preborn.com slash Knowles. Every
00:24:34.100 gift is tax deductible. You can't deport the Haitians who were supposed to be deported like 1.00
00:24:39.880 a decade ago, because if you do that, you'll be sending them back to hell. Why is Haiti hell? 0.97
00:24:46.360 because of the Haitians. There's nothing racist about that. We have a perfect control 0.99
00:24:59.060 to test this hypothesis because Haiti is not its own island. Haiti is one half of the island
00:25:05.600 of Hispaniola. The island is two countries. One of them is Haiti. One of them is the Dominican
00:25:12.440 Republic. At the level of genetics, the level of biology, it's all the same people. And yet,
00:25:20.400 the Dominican Republic is a Caribbean paradise, and Haiti is hell. The Dominican Republic has a 0.99
00:25:27.160 GDP that's five to six times the GDP of Haiti. The Dominican Republic is one of the very safest
00:25:32.320 nations in the Caribbean. Haiti effectively doesn't have a GDP and effectively doesn't
00:25:37.800 have a government. It's just a gang-run hellhole that is run in part by literal cannibals. 0.98
00:25:46.960 Why? Is it because of the geography? No. Is it because of white supremacy? No, 0.94
00:25:53.180 there aren't really white people in Haiti other than the people who go to give them charity.
00:25:57.100 Is it because of toxic masculinity? Is it the same number of men in Haiti as there are in
00:26:02.280 in the Dominican Republic. It's because of the Haitians. That's why. And so then the logical 1.00
00:26:08.440 next question is, okay, well, if the thing that makes this place hell is how the Haitians behave, 1.00
00:26:13.740 why are we going to permanently import a ton of Haitians? That seems like a bad idea, 1.00
00:26:18.860 doesn't it? Especially at a time when no one assimilates. So DeWine is going to do his best.
00:26:24.680 Please, Republicans, do not fall for this. Because we feel bad. Yeah, I wouldn't want
00:26:30.180 to send anybody back to Haiti. Haiti really is hell. You're right. But if you just follow that 1.00
00:26:36.160 logic, why would we import hell into America? It won't really fix anything. Mike Anton, 0.69
00:26:44.280 who works for the Trump administration, is from Claremont Institute, very interesting political
00:26:48.920 writer. He observed the celebration parallax with regard to migration, with regard to the
00:26:54.500 great replacement theory. When a Republican says that libs are importing a ton of the rest of the
00:27:03.240 world in order to change the demographics of the country, in order to replace the native-born 0.98
00:27:07.580 population, we're told that is a racist, anti-black, anti-Hispanic, neo-Nazi conspiracy 0.93
00:27:16.020 theory. But when Democrats say the same thing, which is, yeah, we're going to change the
00:27:21.000 demographics and where we have a coalition of the ascendant and we have replacement migration,
00:27:24.880 which even the UN writes about. When they say that as if it's a good thing, then it's not a
00:27:29.200 conspiracy theory anymore. Then we should all just celebrate it. Anton called this the celebration
00:27:33.240 parallax. There's a similar phenomenon going on with regard to Haiti being hell. When you say 0.81
00:27:38.400 Haiti is hell, keep these people out. That's a horrible conspiracy theory and racist and terrible 0.99
00:27:44.160 and awful. When you say Haiti is hell, that's why we need to bring all of them in. That's a 1.00
00:27:48.800 manifestly true statement. These Republicans, I don't know who has time for them, but it's not
00:27:57.720 just that they don't know what time it is. It's not that they haven't followed the election results
00:28:01.740 and they don't realize that mass deportations is a mainstream popular vote-winning political issue.
00:28:09.800 It's that they just refuse to see reality, whether that's because of ignorance or cowardice,
00:28:15.340 I don't know what, but everything that he said is making a stronger and stronger argument to get 1.00
00:28:21.600 rid of these Haitians. And if you can't deport the Haitians who were supposed to be deported a 1.00
00:28:26.320 decade ago, you can't deport anyone else. So it's not, if you make a special carve out and you say,
00:28:30.480 well, no, at least the Haitians get to stay, then what you're effectively saying is we're not going
00:28:33.960 to deport anyone. Because if you're not going to deport the Haitians who were supposed to be 0.86
00:28:38.080 kicked out 10 years ago, then you're certainly not going to deport Abuela or the Gardner. And then,
00:28:43.780 okay, then we're going to keep 15 million, maybe more illegal aliens in the country.
00:28:48.680 And the Trump election was basically for naught, the one that he won the popular vote on. Okay.
00:28:56.140 Speaking of President Trump, the late Senator Lindsey Graham was laid to rest yesterday.
00:29:02.120 A lot of video clips came out of this funeral, kind of dark, but people grieve in different
00:29:07.240 ways and he was a major political figure. President Trump eulogized Lindsey Graham
00:29:12.660 in this way. But he deviated from his prepared notes. Heated things got in Washington. Virtually
00:29:19.500 everyone, Republican or Democrat, liked Lindsey. Well, not everybody, but it sounds good. Not
00:29:27.580 everybody. He was a tough cookie. Okay, I have to be, I have to veer from this first set. He was a
00:29:33.480 tough cookie, darling, but he was beautiful. People were going after Trump. The Libs were
00:29:40.320 making great hay about this and saying, oh, Trump is dissing Lindsey Graham at his funeral.
00:29:46.360 First of all, he's not dissing Lindsey Graham. Lindsey Graham, you don't want to speak for the
00:29:51.540 dead. I didn't know him very well at all, but I'm quite certain he was a very public figure.
00:29:56.200 I'm sure Lindsey Graham would have loved that eulogy because he got along pretty well with
00:30:02.840 both sides of the aisle. If anyone in our very polarized time could get along with opponents,
00:30:06.360 it was Lindsey Graham. He's a very charming man, very nice guy. But the idea that everyone loved
00:30:12.800 Lindsey Graham, yeah, that is crazy. And so Trump, some speech writer, writes his remarks and goes,
00:30:17.160 hold on, I got it. Lindsey Graham was a tough guy. And I am fairly certain Lindsey Graham,
00:30:24.220 and most politicians in DC, for that matter, would much rather be described as a tough guy
00:30:30.760 than just a little teddy bear that everybody loved. No, he was a tough guy. He was really
00:30:35.960 tough, especially when it came to foreign policy and military intervention. He was a real tough
00:30:39.020 guy, and he has strong emotions in people. The other thing about this is, this is what people
00:30:44.880 love about Trump. Barack Obama would never do this. George Bush would never do this.
00:30:50.520 Mitt Romney would never do this. The kind of ordinary Republican would just read the notes
00:30:53.920 and stick to the script. But Trump, he weaves. He comes out of there, and he says,
00:31:00.520 what is this? Who wrote this? That's not true. It sounds nice, but it's not true. He was a real
00:31:05.560 tough guy. He can be a real tough cookie sometimes. But he was beautiful. That's what
00:31:09.880 people love. A eulogy, by the way, which is, it's like good words. That's what it literally means.
00:31:15.580 And so to eulogy, you focus on the good things. It's kind of like a diplomat friend of mine
00:31:20.900 explained to me the difference between diplomacy and flattery. You don't want to be a flatterer.
00:31:24.080 Flattery is actually a sin. But being a diplomat is a very good thing. And the difference is
00:31:28.740 flattery is when you lie about or to someone in order to ingratiate yourself.
00:31:34.100 Diplomacy is when you focus on the good things.
00:31:37.400 And a eulogy is about focusing on the good things.
00:31:40.280 I was very curious from the standpoint of our funerals.
00:31:43.260 Our funerals are very confused now.
00:31:45.120 Most people don't even have funerals.
00:31:46.440 They have like celebrations of life
00:31:48.120 because our culture is so neurotic and anxious
00:31:50.720 and terrified of death
00:31:51.780 that we don't want to deal with the plain fact of death.
00:31:54.720 We don't want to deal with our grief
00:31:56.960 in the way that we always have,
00:31:57.980 which is with a quick funeral.
00:31:59.000 No, no, no.
00:31:59.420 We'll just put it off
00:32:00.300 and we'll have a celebration of life later on.
00:32:03.100 well, what are you celebrating? If we have a materialist conception of the world, if people
00:32:09.480 doubt salvation, if they doubt religion, if they don't take religion seriously, then there's
00:32:13.460 nothing to celebrate. This was a point made in Nolan's Odyssey in the character played by Ellen
00:32:18.300 Page, Sinon, which was really a recasting of Achilles, a famous scene in book 11 of the Odyssey,
00:32:25.740 where Achilles is talking in Hades to Odysseus, and Odysseus is trying to make him feel better
00:32:30.620 about dying. And Achilles says, don't try to console me about death. There's no consolation
00:32:35.720 in death. Death sucks, and we spend all of our time wishing we were alive. Even for the very 0.96
00:32:41.060 best of us, and the most virtuous, death sucks because it's a place of no hope. That's the pagan 1.00
00:32:45.240 morality. The Christian morality is, no, there is hope. Christ offers you hope and redemption and 1.00
00:32:51.780 salvation. But the traditional Christian understanding of a funeral was that it was
00:32:57.180 the holy sacrifice of the mass on the merits of Christ's crucifixion on Calvary and its prayers
00:33:04.040 for the dead. It's praying for the dead, just like you see in Maccabees in the Bible.
00:33:11.420 You're actually doing something. It's for the dead and for the hope of their salvation.
00:33:17.380 The introduction of eulogies into funerals and especially funeral masses, that is a kind of a
00:33:23.560 return of the old pagan thing where you just sing songs of how great the dead were. But the
00:33:29.280 Christian idea is a little bit different than that. And so I think Trump's comments here in
00:33:35.620 particular were great. It's funny too, on the point of tough guy, there's a clip that was going
00:33:39.140 viral. I don't think we pulled it of Trump saying his last goodbyes to Lindsay. And instead of weeping
00:33:45.140 and wailing on top of his coffin or whatever, he kind of walks by, looks at it, kind of a tough
00:33:49.260 look, gives him a little pat on the coffin and keeps walking. And people were interpreting this
00:33:54.400 as being callous or as if he didn't care about Lindsey Graham. This is Trump doing what he
00:33:59.640 rightly said Lindsey Graham did, which is, I'm not going to be overly emotional or sentimental
00:34:04.400 or whatever. I'm going to be a real tough guy. See you, buddy. So even that, I thought, was
00:34:10.720 really pregnant with meaning. All sorts of other funny lines from this funeral. There aren't usually
00:34:16.480 a ton of funny lines at funerals. But Sean Hannity said that Lindsay was living up in that big
00:34:20.820 Mar-a-Lago in the sky. And so it was a very political affair. But yeah, Lindsey Graham
00:34:25.400 dedicated his entire life to politics. Now, you might say, maybe you shouldn't dedicate your
00:34:29.720 entire life to politics. Maybe there are better ways to have life. Maybe there are more enjoyable
00:34:32.800 ways to have life. But in any case, I thought it was very, very fitting for Lindsey Graham.
00:34:36.440 And I thought Trump's tribute, really more than any of the other ones, I thought it actually
00:34:40.000 did befit Lindsey Graham very well. Okay. Now, speaking of White House turning to weightier
00:34:44.820 matters. I want to get to a story that I mentioned just at the end of the show. I teased because I'm
00:34:49.380 such a tease. A story about how we're waging a war, not with Iran, not with Venezuela, not
00:34:53.640 potentially with Cuba, but how we're waging the war that we're currently in with China. Because
00:34:57.220 there's a big move coming out of the White House and you're not seeing a lot of reporting on it.
00:35:00.780 First though, my favorite comment yesterday is from Cohen Merriman, who says, the Spotify comment
00:35:07.360 section was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the users of
00:35:11.720 any other platform. I know. I love. Guys, look, I love all of you total schizos, you unhinged
00:35:17.380 freaks on YouTube. I'd love you. I get a real kick out of your comments. I do. But it's unbelievable 0.98
00:35:23.560 how the different platforms speak to different groups and to different inclinations. Spotify,
00:35:29.560 it's like the Marquess of Queensbury rules. You know, it's like high tea at the Lanesboro
00:35:34.480 compared to YouTube, which is basically indiscernible from 4chan at this point.
00:35:39.920 There's a place for that, you know, but this reminds me, someone, this is not an original
00:35:44.160 thought, someone pointed out that social media, all the different platforms speak to the different
00:35:48.080 deadly sins. So, you know, Twitter speaks to wrath, and LinkedIn speaks to greed, I don't know,
00:35:57.980 Instagram speaks to lust, and so on and so forth. Anyway, good job, good job, Spotify.
00:36:02.620 Something very exciting, folks. I have been excited for this, waiting for this for months now.
00:36:09.920 there is a particular kind of frustration that comes when you're packing for your trip. You're

00:37:29.480 prohibited. Conditions and exclusions apply. You guys know we're at war with China. Are you
00:37:37.520 aware of that? We covered this a little bit on the show yesterday. The Chinese are so sneaky.
00:37:41.620 They're so, maybe Media Matters is going to clip that out. I don't know. I don't mean to play into 1.00
00:37:46.020 any stereotypes, but they're very, very sneaky, the Chinese and the Chinese Communist Party. And so 1.00
00:37:50.960 when they wage war on us, they don't do it in a really overt way. They do it in death by a thousand
00:37:57.600 cuts. So they'll do things like smuggle bioweapons into our country through their graduate students 0.99
00:38:04.120 studying at American universities to try to poison our crops. They did that. How many times has that 0.91
00:38:08.560 headline popped up? It's like every three months that headline pops up. So we're in a war with
00:38:12.720 them. And the flashpoint of this war is in tech and specifically in AI. Part of the reason I think
00:38:18.820 that you're seeing a lot of media, a lot of social media influencers talking about how terrible data
00:38:24.800 centers are. A big part of that is that it is Chinese propaganda. It's a Chinese influence
00:38:31.160 operation. And I don't mean to say all of the concerns are bogus. They're not. People who think
00:38:36.640 that, who hear it that way, they just don't understand how propaganda works. Good propaganda
00:38:41.480 does not work by just inventing a concern. Good propaganda works by identifying real tensions,
00:38:49.180 real fissures in a society, and then exploiting them. This is what the Soviet Union famously did 0.83
00:38:54.220 during the civil rights movement of the 1960s, which then became the black power movements, 0.80
00:38:58.440 a lot of leftist violence. It's not that the Soviet Union invented racial strife in America.
00:39:03.920 We'd had that for quite a while. It's that the Soviet Union exploited that to their own purposes 0.83
00:39:08.640 to create division in American society. That's what you're seeing here. There are legitimate 0.86
00:39:11.800 concerns about data centers with regard to energy prices, with regard to local water,
00:39:18.040 with regard to property and employment, because the data centers don't employ that many people.
00:39:23.080 There are real concerns about surveillance. People don't want to see the growth of AI
00:39:27.880 because they're concerned that it will displace their jobs or that it will surveil them all the
00:39:31.900 time. Those are all real concerns that need to be dealt with. But the reason that you're seeing a
00:39:37.200 major push in some of the influencer class against the data centers and a major push just in sort of 0.95
00:39:43.680 random social media accounts is because the Chinese want to beat us in the AI war. Because 0.96
00:39:50.200 if the Chinese beat us in the AI war. That will be basically the final nail in the coffin in terms 0.99
00:39:55.060 of the Chinese rising up and displacing America as the global hegemon. So what is the White House 0.99
00:40:00.160 doing? The White House is killing two birds with one stone. The White House, according to the
00:40:04.200 Wall Street Journal, is redirecting hundreds of billions of dollars in funds from colleges and
00:40:10.240 universities toward AI development. Let me see. I think I have the Wall Street Journal account
00:40:14.360 somewhere here. Do I? Do I? No. Yes, I do. Wall Street Journal report, this overhaul will reshape
00:40:21.520 $200 billion in spending a year and favors individual scientists in order to outpace
00:40:27.120 China. This is from the White House Office of Science and Technology. Policy argues that
00:40:32.920 individual scientists can help the nation move faster to use AI and scientific research. So
00:40:36.800 they're going to take money away from various universities. This is good because the colleges
00:40:41.260 and universities have really been perverted away from their purpose. The purpose of colleges and
00:40:47.160 universities is at its highest level is the liberal arts, which is education befitting free men to
00:40:53.140 help people make sense of their freedom, which means disciplining their wills and their appetites
00:40:57.220 and improving their intellect to better know the truth. The universities do the opposite of that
00:41:01.440 all the time, and they do it at your expense. They do it at taxpayer expense. So we give them
00:41:05.960 our taxpayer money. We give that to the government. The government gives it to these schools. The
00:41:09.400 schools do not teach people to discipline the will and pursue virtue. The schools, if anything,
00:41:13.740 just encourage resentment and anger and violence and anti-American protests when they're not just 0.78
00:41:19.400 outright promoting sex and orgies and drugs and booze and stuff like that. But then on the level 0.70
00:41:24.800 of the intellect, at the very least, you would hope that the universities would be teaching the
00:41:28.120 truth. And they're not. They're teaching that boys can become girls. They're teaching that
00:41:31.020 America is evil. They're only focusing on the very worst aspects of American history. In some
00:41:35.520 cases, they're making it up outright. And so, the universities are totally contrary to their
00:41:40.340 actual mission. They're not even taking seriously at all the ultimate point of religion, which comes
00:41:48.360 down beyond anthropology and morality and ontology all the way down to theology, all the way down to
00:41:53.860 religion. They don't even pretend that that's part of their mission anymore. This is the subject
00:41:57.460 of John Henry Newman's wonderful book, The Idea of the University. He was diagnosing this problem
00:42:02.040 150 years ago. Regardless, this is a great way. Weaken the universities and improve America's 1.00
00:42:09.500 position in the war against China. Very, very important. Good point. We need to beat China in 0.99
00:42:15.900 the AI war. We need to beat China in the AI war because we need to remain the global hegemon. We 0.95
00:42:20.320 need to remain the global hegemon because so much of our prosperity and so much of our peace
00:42:24.840 is dependent upon America's position in the world. The world using the US dollar,
00:42:29.380 that the world looking to the United States
00:42:32.080 as the protector of the global order.
00:42:34.800 If we lose that,
00:42:36.180 it's not just gonna take us back a few notches.
00:42:38.920 It's going to radically alter
00:42:41.000 basically every aspect of our lives.
00:42:43.020 And even if you don't care that much
00:42:44.340 about American hegemony on your day-to-day basis,
00:42:47.060 trust me, you will miss it when it's gone.
00:42:49.120 Speaking of wars,
00:42:50.460 we'll turn all the way back to the Civil War.
00:42:53.720 Did you know that Gone with the Wind
00:42:55.520 is really, really racist?
00:42:57.100 that's what netflix wants you to know about one of the greatest films ever made about one of the
00:43:03.000 greatest works of art that the united states has ever produced they want you to know that it's
00:43:07.920 just really really racist this this just popped up uh on on the netflix website how how would you
00:43:13.460 describe gone with the wind some people haven't seen gone with the wind it's an old movie but
00:43:16.420 it's truly it's one of the great masterpieces of american art this is the entire description on
00:43:21.100 Netflix. A 1939 American Civil War epic known for its racism. And then, no, that's the first
00:43:30.960 sentence. Second sentence, the last sentence is, to learn more about Black Lives in America,
00:43:34.580 search Black Lives Matter. That's the Netflix description of Gone with the Wind.
00:43:42.480 Now, I think that the 1939 American Civil War epic is best known for its beautiful writing,
00:43:48.280 uh wonderful acting really interesting acting because it was the mash of some of different
00:43:53.660 acting styles you had the you had the rise of naturalistic modern acting styles you still had
00:43:58.160 here the kind of older representational kind of acting but it's just beautiful it's just an
00:44:02.120 absolutely magnificent work of art tells you a lot about american history the complexities of this
00:44:09.480 near suicide of the united states no no it's just known for its racism to learn more search up this 0.60
00:44:16.520 complete scam, violent shakedown operation called Black Lives Matter. 0.68
00:44:23.900 Brings us all the way back to the top of the show. Why people love the story about the 16-year-old
00:44:29.440 kid pulling that 10-year-old kid out of the waves, risking his own life to save that 10-year-old kid's
00:44:35.660 life. Because what we have been told, in my case as a millennial for my entire life, and for Zoomers
00:44:45.880 since they were in the womb,
00:44:48.280 since when they were a little glint in their father's eye,
00:44:51.040 we have been told that this,
00:44:53.340 not just Gone with the Wind,
00:44:54.240 but this entire country is primarily known for its racism
00:44:56.580 and its misogyny and its self-interestedness
00:45:00.600 and its contempt of its fellow man
00:45:03.380 and its cruelty and its violence
00:45:06.080 and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
00:45:08.460 And none of that is true. 1.00
00:45:11.300 All of those statements are idiotic 0.99
00:45:13.520 and you can you can see them disproven in real time and when they are disproven when when people's 1.00
00:45:20.980 hunches when they're deep still lingering even after all this propaganda still lingering sense
00:45:26.160 that america actually is kind of a good place and you know masculinity is not toxic and white people
00:45:32.720 aren't evil and young people aren't losers and actually you know like maybe there's pretty good
00:45:38.040 stuff here and we can build on it and we should encourage each other right still get that lingering
00:45:42.520 sense, and it's proven right. And that's why that story goes viral. That's why that kid needs that
00:45:45.900 award. It's why we need to celebrate it and see a lot more of it. Okay. Today's work from
