00:00:52.720 meat delivered one thing i love about good ranchers it doesn't stick its meat full of a bunch of
00:00:57.400 creepy chemicals, which makes it very different from Dr. Fauci. Dr. Fauci knew that the COVID
00:01:03.760 vaccine might cause pregnant women to miscarry their babies, and he hid that fact from the public
00:01:09.580 as he told everyone to take the shot. That is what newly released text messages reveal,
00:01:14.760 leading some to conclude that the COVID shot was effectively an abortion pill.
00:01:18.840 We will separate fact from fiction in the latest deadly Fauci scandal. Then,
00:01:24.100 President Trump has reportedly made his pick in the 2028 race to be his successor.
00:01:30.900 Will it be J.D. Vance?
00:01:32.560 Will it be Marco Rubio?
00:01:33.800 Will it be Mitt Romney?
00:01:35.560 We will find out all while a new poll shows MAGA hemorrhaging the support of young men.
00:01:40.760 And speaking of shifting support, I love this story so much.
00:01:44.520 Socialist Francesca Hong is poised to win the Democrat gubernatorial primary in Wisconsin
00:01:48.980 And thanks to, we have discovered, Republicans.
00:01:54.620 I'm Michael Knowles.
00:01:55.340 This is The Michael Knowles Show.
00:02:14.960 Welcome back to the show.
00:02:16.560 state of Massachusetts is now permitting abortions up until the moment of birth. Speaking of
00:02:22.180 abortions, we'll get to that because the governor says that she's Catholic. First though, let me
00:02:27.500 expound upon my love of Good Ranchers. Go to goodranchers.com slash Knowles, K-N-W-L-E-S.
00:02:35.000 One of the simplest ways to make life easier is to have a well-stocked freezer. You know,
00:02:40.080 this happened just the other day. You know, you're hungry, you're short on time, you didn't get to
00:02:44.420 the grocery store and you say, oh, no, I've got the most delicious meat available in my freezer
00:02:49.580 right now. And my freezer is stocked. It is chock full of delicious Good Ranchers. Good Ranchers
00:02:56.000 has not only meat that is 100% American from local farms and ranches, not stuffed full of
00:03:00.980 weird Fauci stuff, but it's just so good. And the prices are just so good. And the product just
00:03:11.720 sells itself. I've long thought that I should stop telling you to get Good Ranchers so that
00:03:17.760 there will be more Good Ranchers for me. Now you can get $50 off your first order. That means you
00:03:23.400 can build your own box starting as low as 129 bucks. It's just, I'm a simple man. I'm easily
00:03:29.900 satisfied by the very best of everything. Good Ranchers is my favorite meat right now. Get 50
00:03:35.780 bucks off that order. Do it. Build your own box. It's delicious. I can give you recommendations.
00:03:43.680 You get the filet mignon. You get the New York strip. You get the Wagyu burgers. They're the
00:03:46.460 best you've ever had. GoodRanchers.com slash Knowles. GoodRanchers.com slash K-O-W-L-E-S.
00:03:51.140 American Meat Delivered. Biggest story of the day. Totally dominating social media,
00:03:56.600 old media, all media. Dr. Fauci has been revealed in all of these text messages and journal entries
00:04:04.020 and emails that have been exposed by the Senate, Dr. Fauci has now been revealed to have known
00:04:10.880 that the COVID shot might cause miscarriage. He told the public that it wouldn't cause
00:04:19.300 miscarriage, but text messages revealed between Dr. Fauci and some of his underlings,
00:04:24.760 Rochelle Walensky, the head of the CDC at the time, they revealed that he knew there was a risk
00:04:29.760 of miscarriage in pregnant women. Dr. Fauci writes, quote, I asked around a bit more and
00:04:36.120 another issue came up that you need to be aware of. Since many people have significant cytokines,
00:04:41.860 storm, and fever after the second dose, this theoretically could be associated with miscarriage
00:04:47.480 in the first trimester. So you will recall that all the COVID authorities said there was no risk
00:04:56.580 of miscarriage whatsoever. Now we have Dr. Fauci in his own words saying this theoretically could
00:05:01.740 carry a risk of miscarriage. Now, some people are taking this text and saying that COVID,
00:05:09.260 the vaccine, caused 82% of pregnant women who took it to miscarry. Some politicians are promoting
00:05:16.160 this now. Some are concluding that COVID was, the COVID shot rather, not COVID, the COVID shot
00:05:22.040 was, practically speaking, an abortion pill.
00:05:25.040 It wasn't just Fauci writing about this.
00:05:27.280 You also have texts from Dr. Vivek Murthy
00:05:31.000 texting Fauci saying,
00:05:33.560 this is really helpful, thanks.
00:05:35.020 I've been hearing the concern about the mRNA
00:05:37.140 causing mutations in the developing fetus as well. 0.99
00:05:40.940 That is a really good point
00:05:42.560 regarding the cytokine storm post-second dose.
00:05:45.520 Another text from Dr. Murthy to Dr. Fauci.
00:05:48.480 Tony, Rochelle, Tony Fauci, Rochelle Walensky.
00:05:51.400 Did you see this announcement today from the World Health Organization saying they advise
00:05:54.680 against pregnant women taking the Moderna vaccine because of a lack of data? It has led to a flurry
00:05:59.180 of questions. What is your take? I imagine we will all get asked about this. So the setup is,
00:06:05.120 yeah, the vaccine could cause miscarriage. The follow-up is the World Health Organization
00:06:09.600 says that the vaccine could cause miscarriage and other problems for the developing baby.
00:06:14.120 And the conclusion is, how should we respond? How did they respond? Here, just to refresh your
00:06:21.200 memory, because there were so many lies, there was so much injustice during COVID,
00:06:25.540 actively promoted by the Fauci's and the Walensky's and everybody else.
00:06:28.700 Here is how they did respond. Here is the head of the CDC on whitehouse.gov, Rochelle Walensky.
00:06:36.420 Importantly, no safety concerns were observed for people vaccinated in the third trimester
00:06:42.620 or safety concerns for their babies.
00:06:47.140 As such, CDC recommends that pregnant people
00:06:50.020 receive the COVID-19 vaccine.
00:06:52.500 So right there, you got a little hit of nostalgia. 1.00
00:06:55.860 Pregnant people. 1.00
00:06:57.380 Do you remember that? 1.00
00:06:58.420 That was during Woke 1.0,
00:06:59.940 which is the same thing as Woke 2.0. 0.83
00:07:01.400 The Dems want to run away from it. 1.00
00:07:04.120 Pregnant people. 1.00
00:07:05.200 Because don't forget at that time, 1.00
00:07:06.840 for you kids in the audience who don't remember,
00:07:08.600 at that time, the federal government
00:07:10.940 was saying with a straight face that men could be pregnant.
00:07:13.940 So you couldn't say pregnant women anymore.
00:07:15.680 You had to say pregnant people.
00:07:16.900 She says, it is safe for pregnant people.
00:07:20.720 Now, she uses kind of slippery language.
00:07:22.520 She says, no negative side effects were observed in the third trimester.
00:07:28.820 But then she makes a separate statement.
00:07:31.120 She doesn't say, therefore, women, or sorry, pregnant people
00:07:34.420 who are pregnant in their third trimester are safe to get the vaccine.
00:07:39.400 she says, therefore, pregnant people are safe to get the vaccine.
00:07:44.900 So it's a little bit of a non sequitur.
00:07:46.800 No negative effects were observed in the third trimester.
00:07:49.240 Therefore, if you're pregnant at any stage in any trimester,
00:07:52.720 it's fine for you to get the vaccine.
00:07:54.160 That would be a non sequitur.
00:07:55.480 That would seem to be kind of slippery, duplicitous language.
00:07:58.760 But it could kind of get her out of it a little bit.
00:08:00.800 She says, well, no, I never explicitly said it was safe for people
00:08:03.860 in the first trimester to get the vaccine.
00:08:05.740 It's just, no, see, the preface was that the third trimester was safe there.
00:08:09.580 And I said pregnant people, but I was obviously I meant to say third trimester.
00:08:13.980 But no, elsewhere, Rochelle Walensky was even more explicit.
00:08:20.060 Is it safe to get vaccinated while you're breastfeeding?
00:08:24.800 It absolutely is safe to get vaccinated.
00:08:26.900 So I would say if you are thinking about getting vaccinated, there is no bad time to get vaccinated.
00:08:32.220 Get vaccinated while you're thinking about having a baby, before you're thinking about
00:08:35.880 having a baby, while you're pregnant with your baby, or after you've delivered your
00:08:39.560 baby.
00:08:39.900 There is no bad time.
00:08:41.460 Couldn't be clearer than that.
00:08:43.120 Could not be clearer than that.
00:08:45.100 There is no bad time to get the vaccine.
00:08:47.880 Before you're having a baby, right when you get pregnant, at any point in your pregnancy,
00:08:53.020 there is no bad time.
00:08:55.180 Take the shot. 1.00
00:08:56.140 Take the shot, you dirty sheep. 1.00
00:08:58.340 That's what we hear from Rochelle Walensky. 0.99
00:09:00.080 but we know from her own texts, text threads that she's in, that they knew that there could
00:09:06.280 be a risk in the first trimester. So what about this 82% number? Some politicians are pushing
00:09:10.960 this idea that 82% of pregnant women who got the COVID shot miscarried. I think that is a
00:09:17.700 statistical misreading from whatever. I'm not a, I'm not an expert on statistics, but from what I
00:09:23.020 gather reading into that allegation, I think that is a statistical misreading, but that's not the
00:09:30.500 point. Some people are even positing that the 82% number was put out there to discredit anyone
00:09:35.760 who is pointing out that there might have been elevated miscarriage rates because of the COVID
00:09:38.980 shot. Even that is beyond the point. The precise number of women who actually miscarried because
00:09:46.760 they got the COVID shot is a red herring. It's actually irrelevant to the matter at hand.
00:09:53.680 The real issue is that these people, Fauci, Walensky, and others, knew that there was a
00:10:01.420 risk, admitted that there was a risk, admitted that the World Health Organization admitted that
00:10:05.880 there was a risk to pregnant women getting the shot, and they told the pregnant women to get 0.96
00:10:10.700 the shot anyway. That's the key. And this is just the latest example of Fauci and co saying one 1.00
00:10:18.860 thing in public and contradicting that in private. They knew something in private or they thought
00:10:23.560 they knew something in private and they told the public something else. They lied. Fauci did this
00:10:28.000 with the masks. Fauci privately thought the masks worked. Now, the masks might not have worked to
00:10:33.600 stop COVID. That's also beyond the point. Privately, Fauci thought the masks worked. Publicly, in the
00:10:40.680 not to wear masks, that the masks would not work. And then he later admitted publicly that he lied
00:10:46.140 to the public and told them not to get the masks because he wanted to save the masks for the
00:10:49.960 healthcare workers. Regardless of the actual substance of the matter, the fact is he lied to
00:10:56.640 you. Whatever he really believed, he lied to you. And he admitted that he lied to you in that case.
00:11:01.660 When it comes to the lab leak, Fauci publicly said this was not a lab leak. COVID arose naturally
00:11:07.060 from a bad batch of bat soup in Wuhan in the wet market. Privately, he admitted that the lab leak 0.94
00:11:13.400 was very likely. Publicly, he said he didn't talk to the intelligence community about these theories
00:11:19.300 about COVID. Privately, we know from declassified memoranda from the CIA, from other agencies of
00:11:25.820 the intelligence community, that he did speak to them. So it's lie after lie after lie. And this
00:11:30.320 is a particularly consequential lie. Because Fauci's dishonesty almost certainly caused the
00:11:38.000 death of babies. Almost certainly. You know, anecdotes are not exactly data. The plural of
00:11:46.040 anecdote actually is data. But I know of people, I'm thinking of one person in particular who was
00:11:54.440 pregnant, got the COVID shot, then miscarried. Could be a coincidence. But I think a lot of you
00:11:59.640 know people like that too. I think a lot of you have at least heard of people like that.
00:12:04.420 And the fact that all of the public health, all the very tippy top public health officials
00:12:09.060 admitted that there was a risk that the COVID vaccine could cause women to miscarry
00:12:13.960 and then lied to the public about it in undeniable explicit terms
00:12:20.000 just adds another layer, a particularly tragic layer of betrayal that the American people feel
00:12:29.020 for the public health authorities, which is part of the reason that when we no longer trust these
00:12:34.280 people, when conspiracy theories arise, this is part of the reason that people are justified
00:12:38.440 in feeling that way. Not all conspiracy theories are the same. Not all of them should be taken as
00:12:44.880 seriously. Most of them are not true. But the people are justified in their conspiracy theorizing
00:12:52.140 in as much as the public authorities lied to you. They lied to you. And so when the conspiracy
00:12:58.760 theories abound, when the distrust of the government institutions abound, that's not
00:13:03.500 chiefly the fault of the people. It's the fault of the public health authorities. It's the fault
00:13:07.760 of people like Dr. Fauci, whose lies have turned deadly. And you can trace this theme back in
00:13:16.340 Fauci's career all the way back to AIDS, all the way back to the AIDS crisis. Don't forget,
00:13:21.040 he was at the helm of NIH for like 40 years, okay? By the way, we have a series on Dr. Fauci.
00:13:26.100 you will recall, I did this series called Fauci Unmasked during COVID. And it's up on the Daily
00:13:32.520 Wire right now. It's a lot of people. In fact, a lot more people in recent weeks have been
00:13:37.380 watching that after a few years of Fauci being out of the news. Do we have a trailer for the
00:13:41.360 Fauci show? He's the highest paid employee in our federal government. And beginning in the spring of
00:13:47.860 2020, Dr. Fauci began to set national policy that affected the way that 330 million Americans lived
00:13:55.380 their lives. For goodness sakes, I'm telling you wear a mask, keep social distancing. There's
00:14:01.500 nothing political about that. But who is Anthony Fauci? People who have conspiracy theories. Those
00:14:08.480 are people that don't particularly care for me. In this short series, we will do what the
00:14:13.780 establishment media have refused to do. We will give you an unvarnished look at the career of
00:14:19.700 the most powerful politician in America, Dr. Anthony Fauci. Don't you think it's time that
00:14:24.980 you step down, I'll let someone else who has a more effective message. Actually, no.
00:14:38.280 You'll just have to go to dailywire.com and see it for yourself. First, though, I want to tell you
00:14:41.680 about Hillsdale. Go to hillsdale.edu slash Knowles, K-N-A-W-L-E-S. In the Odyssey, Odysseus is offered
00:14:47.600 immortality, eternal comfort, and freedom from all of his responsibilities. He walks away from
00:14:52.400 immortality to return home to his wife. Apparently, Homer was writing before avoiding responsibility
00:14:56.620 became a virtue. But that choice is exactly what makes Homer's story so powerful. Odysseus
00:15:01.780 understands that an easy life, even an endless one, is not necessarily a good life. Home, family,
00:15:06.880 duty, and loyalty are worth more than comfort or glory. And that is why the Odyssey has challenged
00:15:11.400 readers for nearly 3,000 years and why Hillsdale College is offering a free online course dedicated
00:15:15.620 to it. Taught by Professor Benedict Whalen, the course explores Homer's great adventure and its
00:15:20.780 timeless lessons about courage, leadership, temptation, perseverance, and the search for
00:15:24.500 home. The course includes engaging lectures and can be completed entirely at your own pace.
00:15:28.980 Go to hillsdale.edu slash Knowles to enroll. Hillsdale, one of the last excellent institutions
00:15:35.340 of higher learning in the country. Absolutely love Hillsdale. The course is totally free.
00:15:40.620 Read deeply, think clearly, start right now by going to hillsdale.edu slash K-N-O-W-L-E-S.
00:15:47.640 okay uh speaking of abortion i want to get to massachusetts this is a really really sad story
00:15:54.640 massachusetts governor mora healy signed a bill on monday that would make massachusetts now the
00:16:01.360 10th state to allow abortion up until the moment of birth big signing this ghastly woman signing 1.00
00:16:08.840 the bill surrounded by all sorts of witches there's applause at the end yay yay we can kill 1.00
00:16:15.260 our babies now up until the moment of birth. It's particularly scandalous that this woman did it 1.00
00:16:19.160 because she purports to be Catholic. Now, obviously, you cannot be a faithful Catholic
00:16:24.740 and support abortion. You just can't do it. In our liberal age, we think that we can be anything. 0.90
00:16:29.140 We can be anything that we want. A man can be a woman. Every boy can grow up to be an astronaut. 0.91
00:16:35.500 A pygmy can play in the NBA someday. This is one of the defining features of liberal modernity is
00:16:40.120 we all just think that we can be anything we want. But Aristotle's law of non-contradiction
00:16:44.360 remains undefeated. And you simply cannot be a faithful Catholic and support abortion. But this 0.80
00:16:50.340 woman has other problems too. She's apparently a lesbian, and she's in a lesbian marriage, 1.00
00:16:56.020 quote unquote. So her Catholicism is fake. She has an indelible mark on her soul if she's been 0.96
00:17:04.620 baptized. She is in a state of grave mortal sin if she is contradicting the faith and living in 0.99
00:17:11.080 this very sinful way, and that's very bad for her. This is why the church traditionally
00:17:14.700 excommunicates people who flagrantly disregard its teaching. It's actually an act of mercy for
00:17:19.360 the faithful because they're putting their souls in very serious jeopardy, not to mention all of
00:17:23.440 the public sin and scandal. But the fact that people like this woman, this woman who's an
00:17:31.420 infanticidal lesbian, like just on its face, cannot be a practicing Catholic. The fact that 0.99
00:17:37.360 this woman would continue to claim to be Catholic tells you something about the political order.
00:17:44.400 The fact that Joe Biden, who is supporting basically the same policy on abortion, who
00:17:48.780 supported trans and kids, you know, castrating little boys to pretend they're little girls,
00:17:52.340 who supported redefining marriage. I mean, who supported all sorts of things that you simply
00:17:56.920 cannot support and be a practicing Catholic, things that should get you excommunicated.
00:18:00.440 The fact that he would do all of that and yet still claim to be Catholic, Biden in particular,
00:18:08.740 more than the governor of Massachusetts, would make a big show about being Catholic,
00:18:12.140 tells you an eternal fact about politics, which is that politics and religion always have to go
00:18:17.860 together. And you see this going back to antiquity, the ancient Romans, the Roman religious and
00:18:22.680 political system were intertwined. Before the Romans, the Etruscans had the religious and
00:18:27.560 political system even more intertwined. But it's true through the Middle Ages. It's true through 0.99
00:18:32.960 the modern era. Because the political leaders need legitimacy. They need moral legitimacy.
00:18:40.160 And the only way they can have moral legitimacy is by appealing to religion.
00:18:44.500 And spiritual leaders have to be political because spiritual authorities lead flocks that live in the
00:18:51.240 real world. So you can never pull these things apart. There's a little bit of a debate springing
00:18:55.300 up on the right. It's mostly just among the chattering pundit activist class. It's not a 0.65
00:18:59.540 mainstream debate, but the debate is over, you know, the threat of theocracy, you know, the more
00:19:05.580 secular liberal types on the American right. They hate the idea of Christians actually being
00:19:11.560 Christian in politics and doing Christianity in politics, which of course our founding fathers 0.99
00:19:16.940 to a great extent did. The framers of our constitution to a large extent did. They called
00:19:20.540 for it explicitly. They said the principles of Christianity are the principles on which
00:19:23.700 independence was one. That was John Adams' line. John Jay says, thank God that we have this common
00:19:29.160 religion here in America. This is a sort of very important aspect of our constitutional order.
00:19:34.240 Nevertheless, the more secular liberal types on the right, they're really, really afraid of
00:19:37.640 religion. And the point that they have to understand is you cannot have politics without
00:19:44.680 religion. And you can't have religion in time and space and history without politics. The two
00:19:50.440 just have to go together. I'm reminded of the more libertarian types who for many years would
00:19:56.040 say, you know, politics is downstream of culture. Don't focus on wielding political power,
00:20:00.080 which in many cases is authoritarian and wrong. We shouldn't do that anyway. We just need to focus
00:20:04.220 on changing hearts and minds and the culture and making new movies and new paintings. But forget
00:20:09.560 about that nasty, ugly politics. But you can't actually neatly separate politics and culture,
00:20:14.040 Nor can you neatly separate politics and religion.
00:20:17.380 This is really ghastly. 1.00
00:20:19.760 So this woman claims to be Catholic because she wants moral authority, 1.00
00:20:22.260 but her real religion is Baal worship. 1.00
00:20:25.800 It's Moloch worship. 0.99
00:20:26.740 I mean, she's very literally sacrificing innocent little babies on an altar of false gods. 1.00
00:20:35.160 That's what abortion is.
00:20:36.860 Peter Kreeft famously observes that abortion has become this satanic sacrament
00:20:43.100 of liberalism. It's satanic even in as much as you can see the inversion of the words. At the
00:20:49.460 consecration of the host at the Holy Mass, the priest says, this is my body. He's repeating
00:20:53.740 the words of Christ. This is my body, which is given up for you. And Peter Kreeft observes that
00:20:58.540 the abortion flips that, inverts that by sacrificing innocent little babies. It uses this
00:21:05.820 line, this is my body. This is my body, my choice. In any case, the woman is claiming the moral
00:21:11.420 authority of Catholicism, but practicing a religion that is ultimately satanic. And liberalism 0.89
00:21:17.140 itself, not to get too abstract, we'll get back to, there's a little bit of good news on the
00:21:20.880 kids' front in politics, but liberalism itself, I think ultimately is kind of Luciferian.
00:21:29.140 This is really what John Milton is saying in Paradise Lost. In Paradise Lost, the radical
00:21:35.000 romantics read Lucifer, read Satan as the hero of Paradise Lost, who rebels against God and has
00:21:41.040 this famous monologue where he says, the mind is its own place and it can make a hell of heaven or
00:21:45.980 heaven of hell. And it's better to reign in hell than to serve in heaven. And my reading, I don't
00:21:51.860 have a totally radical romantic reading in Paradise Lost, but my reading is that Lucifer,
00:21:56.940 Satan in Paradise Lost is a classical liberal. John Milton is writing in the era of classical
00:22:01.660 liberalism. He's espousing classically liberal ideas and he's a very good writer. He's a very
00:22:05.720 insightful and subtle writer. And the character of Satan in Paradise Lost is speaking the language
00:22:13.320 of liberalism, which is that it's better to be in control than it is to serve. Even if being in
00:22:21.460 control is hellish, satanic, involves killing babies and chopping up little kids and all the 0.97
00:22:26.640 horrific stuff that comes along with it, it is better to be in control. It's better to have 0.88
00:22:30.020 personal autonomy in a horrible world than it is to be obedient, to give up some of your control
00:22:37.720 in a heavenly world. That is the argument of classical liberalism, which says that the only
00:22:43.880 moral, not the actual classical liberal writers, but the people who interpret them today,
00:22:48.100 who are pulling out, I think, the real seeds of classical liberalism, they're saying the
00:22:51.380 ultimate moral criterion, perhaps the only moral criterion, is consent, is choice, is my own
00:22:57.020 individual autonomy. And a lot of the debates on the right right now are people rediscovering that
00:23:01.520 actually that's probably not the case. I would rather live in a good society. And I actually
00:23:06.940 think we can know something about the good. And if the end game of liberalism is that we just
00:23:12.040 sacrifice babies on the altar of Moloch, I would like something else. Okay, now there's some good
00:23:16.620 news on the children's front. Really, really good news, actually. Texas is just about to open
00:23:23.240 the first detransitioner clinic in the country. After all of the scandal of all these hospitals, 1.00
00:23:33.040 chopping up little kids, giving them cross-sex hormones, chopping up their genitals, 0.99
00:23:36.600 stopping their puberty, we now have, by order of the court, thanks to one hero nurse, 0.97
00:23:40.860 we now have the first detransitioner clinic opening up. And I think there will be many,
00:23:46.640 many more. A sign that woke 1.0 is over. First, though, I want to tell you about Hallow.

00:24:19.860 challenge. This 40-day journey of prayer, fasting, and repentance is centered on confessions by
00:24:23.900 St. Augustine. His story reminds us that no one is beyond God's grace and that real transformation

00:25:04.440 starts to go wrong. Do not neglect your prayer life. Download Hallow. Join the St. Michael's
00:25:07.500 Lent wait list today. Really great news. Texas Children's Hospital fired a Christian nurse,
00:25:15.700 Vanessa Sivage in 2024. They fired this nurse because she exposed that the hospital was using
00:25:25.800 federal funds to trans the kids. Cross-sex hormones, procedures, surgeries. She exposed 0.95
00:25:32.320 that. That's against the law. And so she was fired for being a whistleblower. She then sued 1.00
00:25:38.380 and she won a settlement. And the settlement is not just for her own personal good to make up for
00:25:44.460 the wrongs that were done to her. It was for a real political good. The settlement now requires
00:25:50.060 Texas Children's Hospital to open a detransitioner clinic and to provide free treatment for minors 0.89
00:25:58.680 who were transed, for whom adults egregiously misled them and got them to pretend to be the
00:26:08.280 opposite sex. The settlement also requires Texas Children's Hospital to pay $10 million
00:26:14.140 over the Medicaid fraud that they committed. And it requires the hospital to fire five doctors
00:26:22.000 who trans the kids. So this is real justice. And every doctor who was involved in this 1.00
00:26:29.860 should lose his license, should never be anywhere near a doctor's office again,
00:26:34.540 and maybe should be prosecuted.
00:26:37.480 But, you know, the conservatives, we always say,
00:26:39.140 look, okay, we won the argument, we've convinced people,
00:26:41.600 but there's never any justice.
00:26:43.000 There's never any accountability. 1.00
00:26:44.160 It's just a bunch of stupid hearings. 1.00
00:26:46.000 Well, this is a case of some real justice. 1.00
00:26:47.940 And really, we have this woman to thank,
00:26:49.440 a real hero nurse here.
00:26:51.100 But five doctors who performed the trans kid surgeries 0.51
00:26:54.060 fired, lots of internal reforms,
00:26:57.160 and now a free detransition clinic
00:26:59.760 for all the kids who are wronged by this.
00:27:01.640 You can go check out her statement at a
00:27:04.160 Sorry at at v underscore sivage on on x
00:27:08.160 Really great stuff. We won this issue. We won this issue further proof of that is that the
00:27:13.540 The leaders of the woke left are now running away from the term woke
00:27:16.960 They're not running away from the ideas, but aoc comes out. She says wow woke 1.0. That was crazy, huh?
00:27:23.460 To which I point I pointed this out on the show yesterday
00:27:25.420 We must respond with a very simple question say oh, yeah, what was crazy?
00:27:31.640 oh yeah, what was crazy?
00:27:33.540 The left is running away from this. 0.78
00:27:35.240 The kids are suing the doctors, 0.94
00:27:36.920 the adults in their lives who transed them.
00:27:38.920 This is totally repulsive to the American people. 1.00
00:27:40.620 Trump won the American vote
00:27:41.560 in no small part on this issue.
00:27:43.340 Yeah, yeah, they realize this is political poison.
00:27:46.860 So they say, woke 1.0 was crazy.
00:27:48.480 Oh yeah, what was crazy about it? 0.94
00:27:51.600 Supporting trans youth, was that crazy?
00:27:53.380 No. 0.54
00:27:56.800 Opening the border to illegal aliens, 0.91
00:27:58.500 was that crazy? 0.93
00:27:59.240 No.
00:27:59.400 abolishing the police and abolishing ICE? Was that crazy? No. No, no, no, no, no. On no issue
00:28:04.340 will they actually say the issue was crazy. So you got to push them on it because woke 2.0 is
00:28:08.660 the same thing as woke 1.0. It's just a little bit more deceptive. It's just changing the word,
00:28:12.260 which the left always does through the euphemism treadmill. Now, as smarter Democrats are trying
00:28:20.220 to run away from the woke messaging, you'll notice a lot of really, really woke candidates
00:28:25.200 are winning. Probably the clearest example of that is Francesca Hong, who is currently leading 0.76
00:28:29.420 the Democrat gubernatorial primary in Wisconsin. Francesca Hong way above. I think she's got more
00:28:35.340 than twice the support in the polls as the next place Democrat. And it's not that Francesca Hong
00:28:41.700 is so different from all the other Democrats. It's not that these DSA candidates, Abdul El-Sayed,
00:28:46.440 Zahran Mamdani, all the rest of them. It's not that they're so different in the policies they
00:28:50.680 support from the mainstream Dems. They all support weakening police. They all support amnesty for
00:28:56.100 illegal aliens. They all support mass migration. They all support killing babies. They all support 0.96
00:29:00.360 transiting the kids. They all support all this stuff. It's just that the DSA candidates, the 0.99
00:29:04.520 woke candidates are really honest about it, which is repugnant to voters, and the mainstream Dems
00:29:09.800 are liars about it. So you guys have people like, what's your face, Abigail Spanberger,
00:29:14.120 the governor of Virginia. She ran as a moderate a little before the midterm election. She wins.
00:29:18.860 she immediately enacts the most radical leftist agenda ever in the history of Virginia.
00:29:24.140 But they all believe the same stuff. So Francesca Hong is one of the most open people about this.
00:29:28.360 She came out, she said that her child being half white gives her proximity to whiteness,
00:29:35.700 whiteness, which she hates. That is a sick way to talk about your kid. 0.99
00:29:39.800 Francesca Hong goes on Hassan Piker's show. Hassan Piker, who's campaigning with these
00:29:43.760 Democrats. Hassan Piker, who calls for two Republican senators to be murdered, 0.66
00:29:46.900 says the streets should run red in capitalist blood,
00:29:50.120 says that America deserved 9-11.
00:29:51.880 Here is Hassan Piker asking Francesca Hong
00:29:54.780 a series of questions on her policies.
00:29:58.040 Rapid Fire, do you support repealing Act 10?
00:30:00.760 Yes.
00:30:01.260 Universal child care?
00:30:02.360 Yes.
00:30:02.820 Free school meals?
00:30:03.760 Yes.
00:30:04.300 Guaranteed pay leave?
00:30:05.400 Yes.
00:30:05.860 Abolishing ICE?
00:30:06.780 Yes.
00:30:07.260 A one-year data center moratorium?
00:30:09.080 Yes.
00:30:09.780 Breaking up a big ag?
00:30:11.540 Yes. 0.95
00:30:12.580 Public grocery stores?
00:30:14.020 Yes.
00:30:14.460 Right to repair?
00:30:15.580 Yes.
00:30:16.000 Legalizing cannabis
00:30:17.100 Yes
00:30:17.760 Overturning Citizens United
00:30:19.240 Yes 0.85
00:30:19.820 A Workers' Bill of Rights 0.95
00:30:21.140 Yes 0.96
00:30:21.640 A Free Palestine 0.96
00:30:22.620 Yes
00:30:23.300 A Scott Walker statue that people can go to
00:30:25.480 That are made by local artisans and craftsmen
00:30:29.080 That people can slap up if they want to
00:30:31.120 Tentatively, yes
00:30:32.820 Okay, I tried to sneak that in there
00:30:35.200 I was like, oh, we got the momentum
00:30:36.540 Like you're saying yes to everything
00:30:38.000 Maybe I could catch you 1.00
00:30:39.320 Damn it 0.92
00:30:40.360 Well, thank you so much for coming on 0.98
00:30:42.940 This was an incredible experience
00:30:44.160 Your primary's on August 11th
00:30:45.660 you're dancing between first and second in the polls right now.
00:30:49.160 There's some consolidation taking place
00:30:50.940 because obviously you've had a lot of momentum
00:30:53.120 and centrist Democrats are definitely very scared
00:30:56.080 of having responsive politics in any state.
00:31:00.500 Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
00:31:01.520 Okay, we get the point.
00:31:02.160 So you hear that whole list.
00:31:03.760 The whole list is you support abolishing ICE,
00:31:05.780 you support this, you know, socialism in grocery stores,
00:31:09.820 socialism in healthcare, socialism in all this stuff.
00:31:12.580 Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:31:12.960 even down to, could we build a statue of the great Republican governor, Scott Walker,
00:31:17.460 that people can go smack around, which is kind of a funny line. It would be a funny line. It
00:31:22.580 would be a funny idea if Hassan Piker didn't regularly call for the actual murder of Republicans.
00:31:28.800 If I said that, if I came out, I said, hey, we got to build a statue of Obama that we can all
00:31:32.640 just go smack around a little bit. That might be kind of funny. I don't know. I don't know if it's
00:31:37.540 actually funny, but it's not like ha ha funny, but you might get a little chuckle out of it
00:31:40.340 because I don't think we should murder politicians. But Ahsan Piker calling for the murder of sitting
00:31:46.680 Republican senators saying the streets should run red in capitalist blood, when he says you need to
00:31:51.680 build a statue of a Republican politician that people can enact violence on, that hits a little
00:31:57.420 different. That actually means something different because he openly calls for actual violence against
00:32:03.060 Republicans. She says, yes, I agree to that. I agree to the enactment of violence against
00:32:07.360 Republicans. Radical as it gets. We could be here all day going down the litany of woke radical 0.76
00:32:14.740 positions from Francesca Hong. What's interesting about this story is, do you know who's getting
00:32:20.120 her elected? Do you know who's getting her nominated, I should say? It's Republicans.
00:32:26.720 It's the Republicans doing it. Allegedly, reportedly, allegedly. So this story here
00:32:31.700 from a local WEAU paper in Wisconsin news network. Republican group spending millions to influence
00:32:39.700 who Wisconsin Democrats choose for governor. So you got the Republican Governors Association
00:32:45.340 spending nearly $3.6 million on ads. That's fine. That's sort of interesting. But what's more
00:32:51.040 interesting than that are all these other little groups. There's one group. It's called
00:32:56.000 middle-class priorities, middle-class priorities, spending almost a million dollars on ads.
00:33:01.840 The only donor to middle-class priorities is this group called Progressive Prosperity
00:33:06.900 Caucus Incorporated. This is a relatively new entity. It has a Nebraska address,
00:33:12.480 and the address is just a FedEx store. So all the red flags going up here.
00:33:17.160 The Democrats themselves are accusing Progressive Prosperity Caucus of being a Republican front
00:33:22.020 group. And Progressive Prosperity Caucus is the only group that's donated to middle-class
00:33:26.300 priorities, middle-class priorities, which is pushing Francesca Hong. So we don't have
00:33:30.280 solid proof of this, but it looks like the Republicans are psyoping the Democrats into 0.99
00:33:37.560 nominating this total lunatic. On top of that, you have these other groups. You have Republicans 0.81
00:33:43.560 coming in, running quote-unquote attack ads, openly Republican groups, running quote-unquote
00:33:48.500 attack ads against Francesca Hong, but it's in a Democrat primary. So if a Republican group is
00:33:53.300 running an attack ad in a primary, the effect of that is just to help that candidate. Because the
00:33:58.800 people who are voting in the Democrat primary want to do the opposite of whatever the Republicans say.
00:34:03.340 There is no reason for a Republican group to be running an attack ad against Democrats in a
00:34:07.660 primary unless you want that candidate to win. And it's working. Francesca Hong is totally crushing.
00:34:14.060 I love, this is the kind of thing in politics that I love so, so much. This is real politics.
00:34:22.660 This isn't just sitting, you know, we're just going to sit here and debate issues. I like
00:34:25.460 debating issues. That's really interesting. But real politics is on the ground. It's messy.
00:34:31.620 It's clever. It's creative. It's fooling your opponent. It's based on prudence. It's not based
00:34:39.120 on pure academic uh ideas floating in outer space it's about just get it's about dirty tricks it's
00:34:46.080 about getting your guy to do something and manipulating your opponent yeah and that's
00:34:49.260 what the republicans are doing here listen to president trump talking about hong 1.00
00:34:55.360 when you look at the radicalism and the craziness of the candidates and the stupidity of what 1.00
00:35:01.300 they're suggesting let's get rid of the supreme court let's get rid of the presidency let's get 1.00
00:35:06.160 rid of the senate they want to get you know sometimes i'd like to get rid of the senate too
00:35:10.520 but uh i don't say it and i wouldn't do it but you know they want to get rid of the senate they
00:35:16.540 want to get rid of uh ideally the house but they're thinking about maybe keeping the house you
00:35:21.900 know isn't that nice he's going off he is he is signaling to normal voters that these these
00:35:27.720 candidates are really radical but by going after them and he's being pretty pointed about hung here
00:35:32.200 he's also buoying those radical candidates in the primaries this is great politics there's just one
00:35:38.140 little caveat here which is if the republicans can sigh up the democrats into nominating bad
00:35:46.060 candidates abdul al-sayed if he's really a bad candidate you know he's not going to be a shoe-in 0.80
00:35:51.040 he's going to be he's going to be very controversial this woman hung is a total joke
00:35:56.080 there are many more serious candidates in that race than Hong. Previously, you had in Maine, 1.00
00:36:02.800 you had the Nazi rapist. The Democrats were able to avoid officially nominating him or 0.99
00:36:07.300 permanently nominating him. So then they replaced him with a guy who had two kids with his cousin,
00:36:11.800 not much better. If the Republicans can sigh out the Democrats into picking these bad candidates,
00:36:17.220 that could pay off really well. In a tight election year, you might be able to have the
00:36:20.420 Republicans squeaked by and beat them. The only word of caution is, don't forget this is exactly
00:36:26.500 what the Democrats did to Republicans in 2016. The Democrats in 2016 were encouraging Republicans
00:36:34.280 to nominate Trump. Bill Clinton reportedly personally encouraged Trump to run for president
00:36:39.440 because he thought it would screw up the Republican primary and make it easier for Hillary to win.
00:36:43.800 But what happened was the Democrats were so unpopular that it backfired and Trump ended
00:36:49.760 up winning. I think the same thing could happen here. If the Republicans can maintain some
00:36:55.000 popularity, which up until this moment in the primary, the Republicans have done pretty well,
00:37:00.620 then getting the Dems to nominate a bunch of terrible candidates is really great because
00:37:04.180 then we're going to beat all those candidates. We're going to hold the Senate. We might hold
00:37:07.260 the House maybe. And that's a genius five-dimensional chess win. However, there are
00:37:14.820 really worrisome signs that the GOP is cratering in support, not just the presidential approval
00:37:20.120 rating, but losing important parts of the conservative coalition. CNN citing a Marquette
00:37:26.580 Law School poll showing that MAGA is hemorrhaging young men. We'll get to that in a moment first,
00:37:33.060 though. My favorite comment yesterday is from Kendall Westhoff, who says, a friend of mine
00:37:37.980 said to me, the worst part about Michael Knowles criticizing Abdul El-Sayed for the gay dancing 0.61
00:37:43.040 was the hypocrisy. I disagree. I think it was the gay dancing. That's a good point. Some people are 0.94
00:37:48.100 drawing a comparison between Abdul's, oh, I want to dance with somebody campaign ad and the
00:37:53.540 introduction to my show. What? I see no similarity whatsoever. I see no similarity. What are you,
00:37:58.840 I don't know. What are you talking about? I don't get that at all. Okay. Really troublesome news.
00:38:05.040 Care of CNN.
00:38:06.420 net favorability rating the MAGA movement non-college adults back in October of 2024
00:38:13.140 look at that on the plus side of ledger positive plus six points down we go into the Atlantic
00:38:19.660 Ocean now look at this movement now minus 22 points that is a shift Johnny B of 28 points
00:38:27.240 away from the MAGA movement away with non-college Americans maybe they've soured on MAGA but they
00:38:35.260 haven't saved, soured on MAGA, but maybe they haven't soured on me, Donald Trump might be saying.
00:38:40.480 Ain't the truth. Take a look here. Okay. Non-college voters on Trump. Hello. Okay. In the
00:38:44.940 2024 election, he won them by 13 points, right? That was the reason he won. He won among non-college
00:38:50.500 voters, a very strong performance amongst them. And that, of course, was the reason he was able
00:38:55.140 to win because college voters were against him. But look at this now. Minus 19 points. Choice for
00:39:00.360 the house, non-college voters, 2024 election. Look at this Republicans plus 13 points. Now
00:39:05.840 Democrats, Democrats actually lead among non-college voters. This is bad stuff. And you
00:39:11.260 might say, well, who cares about CNN? You know, CNN is super lib or whatever, but Harry N has been
00:39:15.820 great. The CNN pollster is not afraid to air good news about Republicans. And so when he hears bad
00:39:25.400 news about Republicans, you want to pay attention to it. This segment of his polling is specifically
00:39:31.780 about non-college voters. Now, the MAGA coalition reshaped the GOP, reshaped the Democrats too,
00:39:40.840 by bringing in a lot of non-college educated voters, by making the GOP more the party of
00:39:45.940 the working class, which it had been before, but had not been in a long time before 2016.
00:39:50.420 and of the non-college voters, a huge number of them were men, young men too.
00:39:58.640 And Trump was leading with these groups.
00:40:02.280 Trump won, you know, I mean, this was made a crucial difference in 2024.
00:40:06.960 And now the numbers have totally flipped.
00:40:08.720 If you look at some of the crosstabs, do you approve or disapprove the way
00:40:12.880 Donald Trump is handling the country?
00:40:14.760 uh, registered voters, you have, uh, approval is at 32%. Disapproval's at 58%.
00:40:22.140 For Republicans even now, approval's 76%. Disapproval's 12%. Don't know. Not sure. 12%.
00:40:30.660 Uh, not, not great. This is, this is bad news. Uh, but the question is, what did you expect?
00:40:38.100 What did you expect?
00:40:39.200 I mean, we'll get to some of the numbers for the rest of the coalition right now, but it's
00:40:45.360 very tough.
00:40:46.220 Trump has a bad situation on his hands in as much as he inherited massive inflation from
00:40:51.420 Joe Biden.
00:40:51.840 So he's brought that inflation way, way down, but there's still a holdover.
00:40:54.600 It's not like prices have actually come down.
00:40:56.220 It's just that the rate of growth has decreased.
00:40:58.720 That's going to hurt him.
00:40:59.920 People expect the grocery prices to go back to what they were before COVID, and that's
00:41:03.980 not going to happen.
00:41:05.200 On top of that, Trump has a very delicate balance with housing.
00:41:08.940 For housing, there's this big problem.
00:41:11.020 A lot of young people can't get houses.
00:41:13.480 So some people are saying, well, let's just build a lot more housing, bring down the cost of housing, bring down the home prices.
00:41:20.220 But Trump has to also balance that with his boomer and Gen X voters who don't want their housing prices to plummet. 0.52
00:41:26.940 He's been open about that.
00:41:27.900 He says, no, I don't want the values of their homes to decrease.
00:41:30.160 but that means necessarily that you're you're gonna struggle to get the homes to the younger
00:41:34.460 people it's a brutal choice there's really no win there on the iran war most americans don't want
00:41:39.000 iran to have a nuclear weapon but this war is deeply deeply unpopular especially with young
00:41:43.180 men especially with non-college educated voters which is an important part of the maga coalition
00:41:47.500 the war itself has has led to a lot of economic destabilization now iran is saying they're going
00:41:54.140 to keep the Strait of Hormuz closed until 2027 because they hate Trump so much.
00:41:59.460 Brutal, brutal situation. Now, how do you fix that? I think the only way you fix that
00:42:08.080 on the Iran war is you just have to either you have to try to strike a deal, which is not going
00:42:12.520 to happen, or you just try to keep the issue suppressed and just manage the issue until after
00:42:17.180 the midterms. I assume that's what the White House is trying to do. But then on home prices,
00:42:21.580 you have to refocus the home price debate,
00:42:23.820 the affordability debate on mass migration.
00:42:25.740 You can do that.
00:42:26.940 Mass migration is driving most of this stuff.
00:42:29.080 As I've mentioned before, in California and New York,
00:42:31.040 100% of the increase in housing prices in recent years
00:42:33.540 is due to mass migration.
00:42:35.320 And nationally, the number is about 60%. 0.94
00:42:37.020 So you can make a very serious plausible argument
00:42:39.400 that it's about mass migration.
00:42:40.800 Wage suppression is, in part at least, about mass migration.
00:42:44.680 You can focus and try to re-channel that energy,
00:42:47.080 but a lot of the energy has come out
00:42:48.980 because of the Iran war,
00:42:50.040 which remains pretty unpopular. Okay, so looking ahead past the midterms, what are we looking at
00:42:56.620 for 2028? President Trump, according to the Washington Post, has settled on The Apprentice.
00:43:03.380 Will it be J.D. Vance? Will it be Marco Rubio? Will it be Rand Paul or Ted Cruz or Ron DeSantis?
00:43:12.500 Will it be Mitt Romney or I don't know? According to the Washington Post, grain of salt,
00:43:17.700 Trump is privately telling donors to back J.D. Vance. Now, he's publicly, according to the
00:43:26.140 Washington Post, grain of salt. He's publicly keeping the race open, but he's apparently
00:43:30.860 privately telling donors to back J.D. Vance, which, you know, I hate to say I told you so,
00:43:35.480 but I've been calling that from the beginning. Part of picking a vice president, a running mate
00:43:42.700 for a non-consecutive second term is setting that guy up to be the president.
00:43:47.620 No knock on Rubio. Rubio's doing a great job. I'm sure Rubio would be a great president.
00:43:51.580 But Ted Cruz is great. I love Ted Cruz, a very good friend of mine. Ted Cruz would be a great
00:43:56.860 president. And there are ways that the campaign could play out in which, well, probably not Rubio
00:44:03.700 because Rubio is so closely tied to the administration, but there are ways the campaign
00:44:06.460 could play out in which Senator Cruz has a real shot at the presidency. Or there are even ways
00:44:11.660 that the campaign could play out that DeSantis has a shot at the presidency, though it's harder
00:44:14.920 for him as well. Senator Paul, probably not because the libertarian moment never seems to
00:44:19.760 come. But nevertheless, there's a great field, but it's almost certainly going to be J.D. Vance.
00:44:26.440 That seems to me already baked in. One, you're seeing it from the polling. I just mentioned
00:44:30.000 President Trump's approval rating among Republicans is at 76%. Pete Hegseth's support
00:44:35.040 among Republicans is at 79%. Marco Rubio's support among the Republicans is 81%. J.D. Vance, 85%.
00:44:44.920 So within the Trump administration, the vice president is actually the most popular figure
00:44:50.900 among Republican voters. Now, it's no knock on Trump. Trump has taken all the slings and arrows.
00:44:56.440 Trump is the main guy. So obviously, his approval rating is going to suffer more than
00:45:00.540 the B characters in the administration. But J.D. Vance has taken a lot of slings and arrows
00:45:04.580 recently, too, in coordinated campaigns to try to kick him out of the heir apparent spot.
00:45:11.760 His approval remains higher than anybody else in the administration.
00:45:15.400 So this reads to me as a true report that Trump really has settled on Vance.
00:45:23.220 Who knows?
00:45:23.540 You never know with Trump.
00:45:24.180 He's very unpredictable.
00:45:25.220 But the fact that it follows the logic of everything else we've heard from this administration,
00:45:31.060 The fact that Trump himself has already basically endorsed Vance and Rubio, Vance and Rubio as a
00:45:35.600 ticket multiple times, suggests that. And the good news here in this storm cloud, the silver lining
00:45:42.640 in the storm cloud of the MAGA coalition losing non-college educated voters, losing some young
00:45:47.400 men, is that the coalition politics from the leadership seems to be strong. You don't really
00:45:53.600 have Rubio running a shadow campaign against Vance. You don't have a ton of Republican
00:45:58.600 infighting in the political class. You have Republican infighting in the media class. You
00:46:02.080 have Republican infighting a little bit in the activist class, but not really in the elected
00:46:06.420 political class. However, the fear is that the MAGA coalition has shrunk, and that's going to
00:46:15.940 be a big test. Now, you might even say that if Republicans lose the midterms and these crazy
00:46:22.260 Democrat candidates are elected, these especially crazy candidates are elected, that actually
00:46:26.220 increases Republicans' opportunities in 2028. But my view on this is always, in politics,
00:46:31.860 you don't win by losing. Democrats, if they take that House, which they probably will,
00:46:38.580 certainly if they take the Senate too, you're going to see a lot of problems. You're going to
00:46:42.320 see basically a full stop to the Trump legislative agenda. You're going to see a lot of investigations.
00:46:47.340 You're going to see all sorts of recriminations. You're probably going to see another impeachment
00:46:50.200 fight. It's going to be brutal. The stakes are very, very high, and the Republicans are facing
00:46:55.380 increasingly difficult headwinds.
00:46:56.900 Okay, much more to get to,
