00:02:44.780 slash Knowles. Ilhan Omar accidentally helps the government's case to denaturalize and deport her.

00:02:52.000 And the Democrat Congress lady is responding by posting violent threats in Somali.

00:02:57.800 Then the top establishment Democrat in the country admits that the Democratic Socialists 0.59

00:03:03.260 are now the dominant force in the Democrat Party.

00:03:06.240 And President Trump wants to pay you millions of dollars to expose government fraud.

00:03:11.560 Can I do that?

00:03:12.320 I guess you're not going to see much more of this show.

00:03:14.220 I'm Michael Knowles.

00:03:14.860 This is The Michael Knowles Show.

00:03:22.000 welcome back to the show hey cubans do you want to join the cia and overthrow the government

00:03:38.680 because that's the pitch coming out directly explicitly from the secretary of state marco

00:03:44.700 Rubio. The little detour in Iran does not appear to have deterred the Trump administration.

00:03:52.340 They are openly talking about taking over Cuba. After over 60 years, we've been trying to overthrow

00:03:59.360 the government of Cuba. Marco Rubio wants to get it done. And this is really important because,

00:04:06.780 one, it would be great and we can get some extra tobaccos and maybe mix up a few new blends of

00:04:10.400 a flower. But two, it's really important because it corrects a major error that both the left and

00:04:16.160 the right have made about President Trump's worldview. We'll get into all of it first,

00:04:20.140 though. The Ilhan Omar story is too, too good. So I'm not going to rehash everything. But you are 0.65

00:04:27.880 aware, as I've discussed many times on the show, there is a federal investigation from the executive

00:04:33.400 branch, signed off on by the judiciary branch, that is looking into Ilhan Omar's potential

00:04:40.360 immigration fraud.

00:04:41.560 They're building a case to not only kick her out of Congress, but to denaturalize her and 0.58

00:04:47.220 deport her, and it keeps getting worse.

00:04:50.240 There's a lot of evidence that she helped her brother slash husband commit immigration

00:04:54.440 fraud.

00:04:54.980 There's evidence that she herself committed immigration fraud.

00:04:57.820 There is evidence that her father committed immigration fraud with her, but that she and

00:05:01.720 her staff have aided that immigration fraud in the building of a conspiracy case against her.

00:05:06.160 So what's the latest? The latest, we got to give big props to Jim Garrity over at National Review.

00:05:13.520 This is good, good stuff. Ilhan Omar seems to have accidentally admitted in her book

00:05:20.860 that she committed immigration fraud. Why? Because forget about the brother-husband for a second.

00:05:26.800 The way that Ilhan Omar herself could have committed immigration fraud is that she got

00:05:30.660 her citizenship through a program that allowed her father, who was a naturalized citizen,

00:05:34.940 to bring along his minor children. So Ilhan Omar supposedly got her citizenship when she was 17

00:05:42.620 years old. She was only eligible for the program because she was 17 years old. Problem is she

00:05:47.500 probably wasn't 17 years old. And you don't have to trust the Somali blogs that first started to 1.00

00:05:53.100 expose her fraud. It wasn't right-wingers that first started to expose her fraud. It was people 0.89

00:05:56.760 within her own community, Somali bloggers. Then the right-wingers came along and started

00:06:01.420 poking holes in her story. It turns out her name might not even be Ilhan Omar.

00:06:05.060 But the actual person to blame for exposing her apparent immigration fraud that she herself is

00:06:10.480 responsible for is Ilhan Omar herself. Ilhan, in her book, writes, this is her political memoir,

00:06:20.020 quote, I was eight years old when civil war broke out in Somalia. One day everything was okay,

00:06:26.100 and the next, there were bullets piercing not only buildings, but also people. So the chapter

00:06:31.520 is titled and subtitled War, 1989 to 1991, Mogadishu, Somalia, because Mogadishu had

00:06:41.500 very serious riots in July of 1989, which included a mass execution known as the Jazeera Beach

00:06:48.300 Massacre. So Jim Garrity points out, okay, if Ilhan Omar is telling the truth in her memoir,

00:06:55.080 and she was eight years old when this occurred in 1989, that means she was born in 1981.

00:07:02.160 But Ilhan Omar became a citizen in 2000. Now, I never got past calculus in high school. I haven't

00:07:09.580 taken any advanced mathematics. Maybe you have not either, but I bet you can do basic arithmetic

00:07:15.240 here. That means that Ilhan Omar was 19 years old when she received citizenship, but she was only

00:07:21.720 eligible to receive citizenship if she was under 18 years old. So the previous reporting said she

00:07:26.460 may have been 18. Actually, now it looks like you're even further afield from her eligibility.

00:07:32.340 She would have been 19 years old. So she would be responsible for that. She is an adult. You might

00:07:38.620 say, well, it was really her father doing everything. She wasn't totally aware of the

00:07:41.840 rules. Okay, maybe, maybe you can make some kind of ignorance claim, even though ignorance of the

00:07:46.760 law is not an excuse. But the problem is that Ilhan Omar's staff kept changing birth documents

00:07:54.220 for her. As she was running for Congress, as she was elected, her staff went in to change her birth

00:07:59.600 records, which reveals that they knew that this was a problem. They knew that she had committed

00:08:05.760 immigration fraud. It means that Ilhan Omar knew that she had committed immigration fraud.

00:08:09.680 They sent the weird brother-husband out of the country right around the time she starts running

00:08:14.360 for public office because they knew this was going to be a problem because they were aware

00:08:18.820 that they had committed a crime and they kept committing more crimes in furtherance of that

00:08:24.940 crime. Really, really good stuff from Jim Garrity and NR. This is the cherry on top of the sundae.

00:08:32.720 I don't see how she can get out of it. The problem for Ilhan Omar now is her entire life 0.57

00:08:37.440 is built upon lie after lie after lie, these foundational lies, the kind of lies that get

00:08:42.440 you citizenship, and so she can't back out of it now. If you pull away even one piece of that,

00:08:48.540 if you acknowledge, okay, the guy I married was actually my brother, and I was helping him commit

00:08:53.520 immigration fraud. Well, hold on. Why were you committing immigration fraud? Well, because my

00:08:57.740 family had committed immigration fraud. And why, hold on, who's the brother? Oh, his name is Elmi.

00:09:02.120 Why is your name Omar? Oh, wait, hold on. Is your name Elmi too? Wait a second. Omar might have been

00:09:07.080 born in 1982 or 1983, but Elmi seems to have been born in 1981, and so that means you were 19 years

00:09:14.640 old, and it just totally unravels from there. Ilhan Omar is aware that the government has

00:09:20.940 built a serious case. This is not just some random Republican congressman mouthing off.

00:09:26.080 This is the DOJ and DHS and Tom Homan being rather circumspect, actually, so as not to

00:09:33.560 compromise the investigation, not speaking too much on television, but there's a pre-dawn raid

00:09:38.220 at her house. This is a federal judge signing off on this. This is the real deal. So what does

00:09:43.880 Ilhan Omar do? Did she come out and deny the charges? Not quite. She went on Chris Hayes'

00:09:47.300 show on MSNBC, and she said, when she was asked, are you related to your husband? Hold on. What's

00:09:52.200 the deal? Did you really marry your brother? She goes, not to my knowledge. Al-Qaeda. It was the

00:09:59.200 strangest response you could possibly imagine. So now she posts a video of her walking with her

00:10:03.280 current husband. First husband was a Somali guy, and she had three kids with him. Second husband

00:10:08.920 was probably her brother, who also appears to be a homosexual. But then she was still married to 0.95

00:10:13.560 the first husband, and then she legally married the first husband after the second husband.

00:10:20.160 But then she divorced the first husband, and then she married some white guy.

00:10:25.040 Now she posts this video, just walking by the lakes in Minnesota.

00:10:33.280 It looks so happy.

00:10:44.500 They're just walking.

00:10:45.240 Ilhan's sipping a coffee.

00:10:46.620 Maybe a PSL.

00:10:47.500 I don't know.

00:10:47.840 Nice autumnal scenery in Minnesota.

00:10:52.120 And it opens up on a picture of her with her current husband,

00:10:54.840 laughing, smiling, looking at each other.

00:10:57.020 It's quite staged.

00:10:57.940 It's a little weird.

00:10:58.600 It does look like a third world produced video

00:11:01.800 in a first world place like Minnesota. It's very beautiful and developed and there's not

00:11:07.640 trash everywhere. And so the pictures are first world, but the video production is very third

00:11:12.300 world. It looks like it was made on Windows Movie Maker. And you've got that thing that

00:11:16.560 not to be stereotypical, but all stereotypes are true, that immigrant communities do, which is they 1.00

00:11:22.600 blast their music so loud that it all distorts. You know, you hear it in like bodegas and stuff. 1.00

00:11:28.400 Anyway, that's a minor point. What is that song that she's playing? It's a little incongruous,

00:11:33.920 wouldn't you say? This beautiful scenery of Minnesota with this weird Jabba the Hutt kind

00:11:38.720 of music. Apparently, the lyrics read, this is according to Fox News, the lyrics read,

00:11:45.600 let me reveal who I really am. No enemy dares threaten me. Wherever I step, they scatter.

00:11:51.900 They flee and stay far away. I have always been the source of their distress.

00:11:55.920 goes on. A fool's words carry no weight. Those I've angered now insult me. If the just one had 1.00

00:12:02.860 felt anger on my behalf, would he not have crushed the enemy underfoot? With the strength the

00:12:07.820 Almighty has given me, if I draw on it late in the afternoon by evening, I will have taught you

00:12:12.620 a lesson. So this is the kind of prose and poetry that is typical of that religion of peace, Islam,

00:12:19.920 which of course spread from its earliest days by the sword and by murdering and enslaving 1.00

00:12:25.400 tens of millions of people. Why is Ilhan Omar posting this song? Well, one, it's kind of

00:12:32.100 cheeky. It's funny to have this nice staged scene with her milquetoast husband sipping a PSL by the

00:12:38.340 lake in Minnesota while you have this violent Somali terrorist music playing in the background. 0.91

00:12:44.140 But I think the other reason why she's playing this music is a kind of admission. 0.97

00:12:48.500 Yeah, you got me. Yeah, I married my brother. Yeah, I committed immigration fraud. Yeah,

00:12:54.880 my whole family committed immigration fraud. Now there is reporting that the Omar family is not 0.99

00:12:59.800 really the Omar family, it's the Elmi family. And when they received asylum in the United States,

00:13:04.000 they certainly should not have received asylum because they were part of the government 0.74

00:13:07.740 that persecuted all of the Somalis who were seeking asylum. It'd be like giving political 0.63

00:13:15.160 asylum during World War II to Eichmann or something. If you're going to give asylum to 0.99

00:13:21.020 anyone. You want to give it to the people who are being persecuted within a nation, not the people 0.93

00:13:25.460 who are doing the persecuting. Now we give a political asylum to the white Afrikaners because 0.96

00:13:31.580 their government is threatening genocide against them and looking the other way while horrific

00:13:36.400 acts of violence are being perpetrated against them. That would be like giving asylum to the

00:13:41.980 South African politicians who are calling to kill the bow or kill the farmer, shoot to kill. You 1.00

00:13:46.880 wouldn't do that kind of thing. So to me, what that video reads as is Ilhan Omar saying, yeah,

00:13:53.600 okay, you know what? Whatever. You got me. I'm not going to argue against you. I'm not going to

00:13:57.400 disprove your arguments with facts and logic. I'm just going to threaten you. You're not going to

00:14:03.060 deport me. I am going to stand my ground. I will threaten violence against you if you try to do

00:14:10.680 anything to me. This is characteristic of the left. In some ways, I guess that's characteristic 0.94

00:14:16.900 of Somalia as well, but that's one area that Somalia and the American left seem to have in

00:14:22.040 common is threatening violence against their enemies when they have no answer. When they

00:14:26.720 aren't dealing in logic, they're not engaging in the deliberative process of American self-government, 1.00

00:14:31.400 they're saying, come and get me and I'll shoot you and I'll stomp on your foot and I'll kill you. 1.00

00:14:34.660 do your best, which means, by the way, that the administration has to deport this lady. 1.00

00:14:41.740 This is a big game of chicken that we're playing here.

00:14:45.100 And now that we've, now that the administration and the DOJ and the DHS and the courts

00:14:50.660 have uncovered this, they have to deport her because if she wins, if she is able to stay 0.85

00:14:56.300 in this country, if the Democrats say win the House and the Senate and maybe the presidency

00:15:00.040 in 2028, and she is allowed to stay in this country, she will have triumphed, not just over

00:15:05.420 Donald Trump or whoever, she will have triumphed over American law. And this will only embolden the

00:15:12.000 left, which is flooding the country with infinity migration and with immigrants who are perpetrating 0.99

00:15:17.580 massive untold fraud on the United States. You have to do it. You sometimes see this in business. 1.00

00:15:23.980 when, for instance, an employee screws up or does something a little bit shady.

00:15:29.820 If you call out the employee and the employee says, you know what?

00:15:33.340 I'm sorry.

00:15:33.800 It's bad.

00:15:34.460 I'll fix it in the future.

00:15:35.760 I won't.

00:15:36.240 You know, my bad.

00:15:37.420 Then you can kind of move on.

00:15:38.840 You work through it.

00:15:40.460 If the employee doubles down and lies and keeps deceiving, you get into a provocative

00:15:46.500 situation where you got to get rid of the employee.

00:15:50.040 This sometimes happens within families.

00:15:51.840 I mean, this is just a fact of social life.

00:15:54.320 Ilhan Omar is escalating it to that point.

00:15:57.280 Ilhan Omar is saying, yeah, whatever. 1.00

00:15:59.640 My family, it's a bunch of terrorists from Somalia 0.97

00:16:02.320 who may have been involved in perpetrating a genocide. 0.86

00:16:05.360 Yeah, maybe my dad was a colonel in the Somali government.

00:16:08.520 Yeah, maybe.

00:16:09.520 Yeah, I'm not who I said I am. 0.58

00:16:10.740 I stole citizenship.

00:16:11.880 I married my brother.

00:16:12.880 I made a mockery of your whole system of law.

00:16:15.280 What are you going to do about it?

00:16:17.300 Oh, hey, I'll tell you what.

00:16:18.800 I will, you better not threaten me.

00:16:21.740 You will all scatter.

00:16:23.600 you will stay far away. I'm the source of your distress. You insult me. Well, guess what?

00:16:31.420 Guess what? I'm strong and I will crush my enemy underfoot. I do not want to be crushed

00:16:38.140 under Ilhan Omar's foot. We need to deport her. Way past arguments and facts and logic. 0.91

00:16:46.220 Now we got to get it done. And by the way, she said, she gave some speech where she said,

00:16:51.220 look, I love, she said it in Somalia. I love Somalia. I want to be back in my country. I

00:16:55.400 want to be in Somalia. Great. We can give her exactly what she hopes for. This radicalism is 1.00

00:17:00.720 not confined to Minnesota or to the squad or Ilhan. It actually goes all the way up to the main

00:17:10.140 establishment Democrat in the entire country. We'll get to that in a second. First, I want to

00:17:15.340 tell you about lean. There's a lot more to say. First, though, go to takelean.com. Use code

00:17:19.860 Knowles, there is a particular kind of negotiating that happens in front of an open pantry.

00:17:25.060 You're not hungry. You've already had dinner. But somehow you're making the case that a handful

00:17:29.220 of cookies doesn't count if you remain standing. They're just in my head right now. It's like

00:17:34.100 lean is reading my soul. Well, I think that's a dubious weight loss strategy, okay? The better

00:17:39.920 one is from Brickhouse Nutrition. It's called Lean. Doctors developed lean specifically for

00:17:46.120 frustrated dieters with 10 pounds or more to lose who keep looking at the cookie cabinet.

00:17:54.300 appetite and cravings alongside a healthy diet and exercise. Because having a plan is one thing,

00:18:00.380 sticking to it when the snacks come out is another. This is the time of year when you're

00:18:05.300 going to be tempted to become a big fatso because you're packing on weight for winter. It happens

00:18:09.720 every year. I'm trying to be conscious of it this year. We have employees here at The Daily Wire who

00:18:14.580 love lean. And we have other employees who should be using lean. If you are working toward a weight

00:18:19.960 loss goal, consider lean to support the healthy habits you're building. Go to takelean.com. Use

00:18:36.920 in 2028. You have the leading radical socialist candidate, that's AOC, and then you have the

00:18:44.560 leading country club Democrat, that's Gavin Newsom. Gavin Newsom, hat tip to town hall here,

00:18:51.420 got caught on a hidden camera admitting that the democratic socialists

00:18:57.240 are the dominant force in Democrat party politics.

00:19:00.800 a lot of us like we're we want to see the democratic party move forward you know we

00:19:08.820 don't want more kamala harris we want you know more i guess democratic socialist politics like

00:19:14.240 where do you see i guess the democratic party going i think it's i mean i think no one is

00:19:19.640 arguing to manage the status quo or fail more efficiently so i think that the the dsa the energy

00:19:27.360 and the desire and demand for bold change non-incremental change is very much going to

00:19:33.360 be dominant i mean that's going to be a mainstream democratic absolutely no question in my mind

00:19:39.240 you can't play in the margins anymore the whole the system's broken it's completely unbalanced

00:19:46.740 and you can't we can't manage to the time we have to completely reimagine okay so you got

00:19:54.700 typical Gavin pandering. That's part of the explanation. He just tells people whatever

00:19:59.920 they want to hear. Okay, that's part of it. He gives himself a little wiggle room because he

00:20:03.920 says, yeah, you know, and I'm not just talking about the democratic socialists. I'm talking

00:20:07.660 about their boldness. I'm talking about an attribute of the socialists. I'm talking about

00:20:11.600 their vision, their imagination. Okay, sure. But the upshot of what he's saying

00:20:16.580 is that the democratic socialists are now the dominant force in the party.

00:20:22.680 And you know how much I hate to say I told you so, but I did call this months ago. 0.96

00:20:28.920 Do you remember all the chattering class, all the pundits and the podcasters?

00:20:32.140 They were saying months ago that the Democratic primary was a showdown

00:20:36.020 between the establishment Democratic candidates and the radical Democratic candidates.

00:20:40.920 The more moderate Democrats and the DSA.

00:20:44.860 And I said on this show and on cable news and where anyone would listen to me,

00:20:49.180 I said, that is totally the wrong way to look at this.

00:20:52.000 that's completely the wrong takeaway. The real takeaway from these primaries

00:20:56.100 is that there's no difference between the establishment and the radicals.

00:21:01.240 Yeah, I guess the establishment dresses a little better. Gavin Newsom probably showers more than

00:21:06.120 some of the socialist candidates. But beyond looks, yeah, okay, he's a white guy. And some

00:21:11.360 of the socialist candidates are ethnic minorities or women or LGBT or whatever. Maybe they play to 0.64

00:21:19.540 different levels of identity politics. They use slightly different language, perhaps,

00:21:24.040 but they're the same. Where do they disagree? In any of those big primary showdowns in Wisconsin,

00:21:31.460 in Michigan, in wherever, where do they disagree? They all support socialized medicine to some

00:21:39.040 degree, most of them entirely. They all support amnesty, mass amnesty for illegals. They all 0.54

00:21:44.600 support practically an open border. They all support castrating little babies. Sorry, 1.00

00:21:51.300 castrating little babies up to teenage kids. But when we're talking about the little babies,

00:21:56.860 they all support murdering the little babies up until the moment of birth.

00:22:00.220 They all support taking away more of your property. What's the difference?

00:22:05.800 Gavin Newsom combs his hair better than the other guys? And Newsom now himself,

00:22:09.820 you're hearing it from the horse's mouth or another part of the horse, maybe the opposite

00:22:13.380 part of the horse. You're hearing it straight from him. He says, yeah, the Democratic Socialists

00:22:18.380 run the Democrat Party, and they should. And they should. And that's good. And we need to

00:22:24.920 follow them, and we need to emulate them. This is one of the distressing facts about the polls

00:22:32.160 that are coming out for the midterms, is you have a lot of conservatives who have just kind of

00:22:36.180 forgotten. Maybe they don't like the gases up because of the Iran war. Maybe they don't like 0.59

00:22:39.580 the Iran war. Maybe they wish that Trump had deported three and a half million foreigners

00:22:44.560 instead of only three million foreigners. Maybe they wish whatever. Sure. Okay. Reality is always 0.88

00:22:51.360 going to be a little more restrained than our greatest hopes and imaginations in this fallen

00:22:57.200 world. Okay, sure. And they feel a little bit, I don't know, lethargic, a little blase.

00:23:04.740 And what some people, especially those voters in the middle, what they're saying is, you know what,

00:23:08.100 maybe the pendulum can swing back. These are voters who don't have a particularly coherent

00:23:13.280 worldview. These are people who vote for Republicans one cycle and Democrats the next

00:23:17.200 cycle, even though Republicans and Democrats today, unlike earlier periods in American history today,

00:23:22.660 disagree on fundamental things. Like one party says you shouldn't castrate seven-year-olds,

00:23:27.760 and the other party says you should. One party says you shouldn't murder little babies. One

00:23:32.980 party says you should. One party says you shouldn't flood the country with Somali terrorists who 1.00

00:23:36.640 bilk our welfare system. The other party says that you should. These are pretty stark divides. 1.00

00:23:42.400 And yet, there are these voters who are late-breaking, independent voters, low-information

00:23:48.940 voters who are saying, well, you know what? We were with the Republicans for a little bit. Maybe

00:23:52.880 let's try the Democrats. I'm sure there's some moderate Democrats in there. Listen to Newsom.

00:23:57.800 There are no moderate Democrats left. There aren't any. Don't take my word for it. Take it

00:24:03.620 from the leading supposedly moderate Democrat. Now, let's turn to older Democrat politicians

00:24:11.860 for a minute because, you know, President Trump has been on the campaign trail for the Republicans

00:24:15.740 in the midterms. He's helping to boost their poll numbers pretty significantly, especially in some

00:24:19.420 of the battleground states. Democrats are trotting out a president of their own. Barack Obama

00:24:23.840 returning to the campaign trail and revealing that he has not changed one iota since he left

00:24:31.700 office. We'll get to that in a second. First, though, speaking of the election, I want to tell

00:24:34.740 you about GOP votes. There's a lot more to say. First, though, go to GOPvotes.org. The Democratic

00:24:39.300 Socialists of America won primaries across the country. Next, they're coming for Congress and

00:24:43.680 they're coming for you. If they win the midterms, they will defund the police, reopen the border,

00:24:47.340 and force men into women's sports. You are the last line of defense, and GOPvotes.org is your

00:24:52.740 partner in the fight. Go to GOPvotes.org right now. Make a plan to vote early. If you live in

00:24:57.860 the critical Senate battleground states of Alaska, Michigan, Maine, Ohio, Iowa, or Texas.

00:25:02.240 Early voting is already underway this week. Democrats are energized and the stakes have

00:25:06.080 never been higher. We cannot afford to have people like AOC and her communist cronies running the

00:25:10.160 show. That is why I need you to make a plan to vote early right now. Go to gopvotes.org to find

00:25:16.360 your polling location, vote early, and stop the socialist takeover of America. Paid for by SLF

00:25:21.240 PAC, not authorized by any candidate or candidates committee. President Trump hits the campaign

00:25:26.360 trail. He's talking about people's derrieres. He's talking about Nicki Minaj. Lots of colorful

00:25:31.200 clips. Absolute delight seeing him on the campaign trail. And he is boosting numbers for the

00:25:37.000 battleground Republicans. What does Barack Obama have to say? What's the big campaign issue

00:25:42.660 for Barack Obama as he stumps for Democrats? So when you go through all this, the tally of

00:25:53.240 promises, things have not worked out the way we might have expected. Although, I must say,

00:25:59.800 I did expect it. And let's be honest, does anybody really think this guy in the White 0.51

00:26:09.820 House right now is spending all that time thinking about these issues? I mean, I don't

00:26:15.920 I don't know if you've noticed, but he seems very focused on home renovations.

00:26:22.920 He should be on HGTV.

00:26:27.920 The guy's building a ballroom that's bigger than the White House.

00:26:31.920 It's paved over the Rose Garden, put a helicopter pad on the south lawn,

00:26:37.920 and there's gold everywhere. What's up with the gold?

00:26:40.920 everything more gold he's got the white house looking like saddam hussein opened a cheese

00:26:49.180 cake factory just gold everywhere okay so on the surface just right away i'm listening to

00:26:58.880 his complaints that's the best he's got the best complaints at president trump we're told he's 0.55

00:27:05.560 hitler he's mango mussolini he's a grave threat existential threat to american democracy our 0.79

00:27:10.220 sacred democracy. It's what Joe Biden ran his presidential campaign on. And then a dozen years

00:27:15.860 in to the Trump era, the best criticism Barack Obama has is that President Trump installed a

00:27:22.420 helipad on the South Lawn where the presidential helipad lands. That is shocking. Trump must be

00:27:31.140 the greatest president ever. Trump must be a much better president than even I thought he was. And

00:27:37.340 I'm a huge Trump fan. Trump is the best president of my lifetime. But Barack Obama seems to think

00:27:42.000 he's an even better president than I think he is. Because the greatest criticism of Trump

00:27:46.760 is that he installed a helipad in the place where the presidential helicopter lands.

00:27:51.860 The greatest criticism is that President Trump thinks there should be a dining room

00:27:57.320 to host White House dinners at the White House. That's the criticism. And notice how he makes

00:28:05.380 the criticism. That is what's more illustrative, because the way he makes the criticism is not

00:28:10.980 just that it's a waste of money. I don't think having a helipad for the presidential helicopter

00:28:14.920 is a waste of money. I don't think having a dining room at the White House is a waste of money.

00:28:19.560 No, no, no. The way he makes the criticism is he says that Trump has low-class tastes.

00:28:27.260 President Trump is like he's dining at the Cheesecake Factory. He doesn't even go to

00:28:32.480 the French laundry like me and Gavin Newsom. This is President Trump. He goes out there. He's

00:28:37.140 probably serving Chablis with his steak tartare. Can you imagine? Am I right, my fellow working

00:28:44.240 class Americans? Can you believe that gauche Philistine? He doesn't even understand that 1.00

00:28:50.140 when you're having your oysters on the half shell, you should be having a sauvignon blanc from New

00:28:54.460 Zealand. He's probably drinking Sauvignon Blanc from California. Am I right? You say, how out of

00:29:03.320 touch are you, dude? We've been experiencing economic turmoil since roughly the start of

00:29:12.140 your presidency, Barack Obama. In fairness, it was at the end of the Bush presidency because of

00:29:16.700 the global financial crisis, which was caused actually by economic policies put into place

00:29:21.820 under Bill Clinton, the previous Democrat president, because of how much he screwed up

00:29:25.900 the homeownership and the banking sector. But that's a story for another time.

00:29:31.580 But we've experienced economic turmoil for a long time. And then it really spiked under Joe Biden.

00:29:35.660 President Trump has gotten it pretty under control. But then the Iran war, which has come

00:29:40.480 about in part as a consequence of Barack Obama's policies, the Iran war has spiked prices a little

00:29:46.220 bit. And so as people are facing this, your criticism is that President Trump is one of

00:29:50.700 these low-class Philistines who goes to the Cheesecake Factory. The Cheesecake Factory is

00:29:54.440 great. I love the Cheesecake Factory. I love it. I sometimes have trouble convincing sweet little

00:30:01.620 Lisa to go to the Cheesecake Factory because every dish has like 52,000 calories. And I feel 0.87

00:30:07.820 a little fat afterward and she wants a little bit. But Cheesecake Factory is great. The Cheesecake

00:30:13.320 Factory is middle class and upper working class. That's what it is. You're right. Gavin Newsom

00:30:19.440 doesn't go to the Cheesecake Factory. Barack Obama doesn't go to the Cheesecake Factory.

00:30:24.220 I like the finer things myself, but you know what? I like the Cheesecake Factory, okay?

00:30:30.280 You know what? You know what? I like McDonald's, okay? And this is, it just shows you why Trump is

00:30:36.940 kind of the mirror image, just the opposite of Barack Obama. Barack Obama constantly was

00:30:46.500 revealing this contempt for the middle class and the working class. He did it by accusing the

00:30:52.280 middle class and the working class of being bitter clingers, bigots who cling to their guns and

00:30:57.100 religion because they don't want Barack Obama to flood the country with foreigners and turn 0.99

00:31:01.260 everyone gay. Barack Obama, who along with his wife especially, would just accuse the middle 0.92

00:31:08.140 class and the working class of being racist. The country that elected him twice, unfortunately.

00:31:13.000 it's Barack Obama hasn't changed his thought at all think about the setup to the joke the setup 0.84

00:31:17.760 to the joke is it looks like Saddam Hussein made designed a cheesecake factory Saddam we're doing

00:31:24.380 Saddam Hussein jokes in the big two six well it's like a stand-up doing I don't know doing jokes 0.80

00:31:29.880 about Paul Lind or Johnny Carson or something like that like you got to update your material buddy

00:31:34.640 but he hasn't his worldview has not changed and his worldview set the stage for the current

00:31:41.720 Democrat Party. Very different from the Democrat Party of Bill Clinton. Bill Clinton, who didn't

00:31:46.840 really have any principles, who declared that the era of big government was over, who said,

00:31:50.400 I feel your pain, who was like a big bubba, who also, by the way, definitely likes the

00:31:54.340 Cheesecake Factory and McDonald's. Barack Obama has this kind of striver contempt that you

00:32:00.760 especially see probably most clearly in Karl Marx, who had utter contempt for the bourgeoisie

00:32:05.200 and wanted to wipe them out. Communist revolutions always want to wipe out the middle class.

00:32:10.140 They always want to wipe out the bourgeoisie, the people who like the Cheesecake Factory.

00:32:15.020 So he comes out there and he does the same thing.

00:32:17.280 This should be so off-putting to the working class and the middle class,

00:32:22.440 which did turn on Democrats, in fairness, during the Trump era.

00:32:25.920 So it should be off-putting.

00:32:27.660 And yet, right now, the polls are essentially tied.

00:32:30.940 Donald Trump responds to Obama's criticism.

00:32:34.500 Further response to Obama who made fun of the Cheesecake Factory,

00:32:38.700 comparing it to the White House.

00:32:40.140 You know, I've taken care of the White House.

00:32:44.140 I fixed it with the finest artisans in the world.

00:32:49.140 We've re-skinned it.

00:32:50.140 It was in horrible shape.

00:32:52.140 A lot of the ornaments and the things that you were

00:32:55.140 originally built on the White House were missing or damaged

00:32:59.140 or gone for a long time.

00:33:02.140 They were laying on the ground in some cases.

00:33:05.140 And it was in terrible shape.

00:33:07.140 The exterior plaster was broken, cracked.

00:33:10.460 The painting was terrible.

00:33:12.620 And I've re-skinned the building beautifully with the highest, most talented people.

00:33:18.720 Anywhere in the world, you're not going to find more talent.

00:33:20.760 And the White House looks beautiful.

00:33:22.820 And guys like Obama, they would pass the front door.

00:33:27.320 They'd see the broken masonry.

00:33:29.760 They'd see the broken, the beautiful pilasters that were all broken.

00:33:35.040 For years, they were broken.

00:33:36.600 and he wouldn't notice because he doesn't notice that he doesn't notice dirt and filth that hadn't

00:33:42.200 been cleaned where the walls hadn't been cleaned for years he doesn't notice areas that haven't

00:33:47.440 been painted i do it with five minutes a day ten minutes a day i love this line he goes yeah five

00:33:55.380 ten minutes a day you know what i do try to beautify the white house and i do try to beautify

00:33:58.580 washington dc and i do it because that that is how it should be done this is america okay

00:34:06.240 and this is the people's house.

00:34:09.160 This is the irony of Barack Obama's

00:34:11.660 supposed man of the people kind of appeal here.

00:34:16.080 Both Obama and Trump,

00:34:17.880 as representative of the Democrats and the Republicans,

00:34:21.100 both of them are offering something

00:34:24.000 to the working class and the middle class.

00:34:27.840 At least the working class.

00:34:29.980 What Barack Obama is offering is just handouts.

00:34:34.560 Hey, I'll tell you what.

00:34:35.740 The working class, they're getting a little excited.

00:34:39.160 They're getting a little upset.

00:34:40.200 You know what? 0.90

00:34:40.640 We're going to give them more welfare programs. 0.97

00:34:42.100 More welfare.

00:34:42.600 We're going to give you welfare. 0.98

00:34:43.740 We're going to get rid of drug laws so you can shoot up dope and kill yourselves in the 0.96

00:34:47.160 street if you want.

00:34:47.980 We're going to get rid of policing.

00:34:49.800 So if you want to sleep on the sidewalk and die of exposure, you could do that.

00:34:54.400 No one's going to stop.

00:34:55.240 You have a right to die of exposure on the street.

00:34:57.740 Do your drugs.

00:34:58.460 Take your welfare.

00:34:59.900 Swipe your EBT.

00:35:01.440 Drink your sugary drinks.

00:35:02.920 And just go off and stop bothering me.

00:35:05.740 That's what he's offering. The Democrats are offering material payoffs to shut up the working

00:35:12.000 class. President Trump is also appealing to the working class. A populist appeal. Populist,

00:35:19.920 which is just a word, it's just a pejorative word to mean democracy. You know, when it's something

00:35:24.760 that the liberals like, they call it, this is representative of democracy. When it's something

00:35:27.860 they don't like, they say, this is populism. The words mean exactly the same thing. President

00:35:32.040 Trump is saying, no, I'm appealing to the working class men and women of America, but I'm not just

00:35:35.940 going to give you a handout. I'm going to let you keep more of your money. No tax on tips. I'm going

00:35:41.580 to let you keep more of what you earn, what you work for. And on top of that, I'm not just going

00:35:46.840 to give you something materially. I'm going to offer you something more. We call the White House

00:35:52.580 the people's house. Well, guess what? Barack Obama let that house fall into disrepair. I am going to 0.83

00:35:58.220 beautify it. When it comes to Trump, he's doing it substantially with his own money.

00:36:02.740 He's building the big flagpoles. He's raising the money for the ballroom. He's using a lot

00:36:07.320 of his own money here to give something to the people that actually advances the common good.

00:36:14.100 A good historical analog for this is the cathedrals. You see a lot of propaganda in

00:36:18.660 the Enlightenment, in the liberal era, in the modern era, criticizing the church for wasting

00:36:24.820 money on big cathedrals. It's a waste of money, supposedly, for the glory and riches of the

00:36:30.760 church. They should be giving that money to the poor, they say. The poor benefit from beautiful

00:36:38.100 cathedrals more than the rich do. The rich have beautiful things that they themselves own. The

00:36:44.040 rich have beautiful houses and beautiful carriages and beautiful clothes and beautiful paintings in

00:36:48.540 their homes. Poor don't have any of that in the Middle Ages. But you know what the poor do have? 0.93

00:36:54.820 access to the most beautiful buildings ever made with the most beautiful artwork that is organized

00:37:00.540 around the most beautiful and true religion that actually offers them something that is elevating

00:37:06.100 of the soul. And they would have half the year off to go on pilgrimages, to celebrate feast days,

00:37:13.500 and they would have these beautiful churches all around them before in the modern era,

00:37:16.660 those churches were confiscated by governments. That's the point. There actually is a deeper point

00:37:21.520 to the ballroom. There's a national security angle because it's a military bunker underneath.

00:37:25.280 There is a practical angle because the White House needs to host state dinners.

00:37:29.220 But there is an angle toward dignity. There's a kind of spiritual angle to this,

00:37:34.020 which is that if the White House really is the people's house,

00:37:38.200 then when you let it fall into disrepair, that signifies something, that symbolizes

00:37:42.380 allowing the common good to fall into disrepair, allowing to neglect the people,

00:37:47.800 the common man and woman of America. And to beautify it a little bit, to take care of it,

00:37:52.520 to pay attention to the little dirt around the fringes means you're paying attention

00:37:56.920 to all of those often neglected people. Really, really illustrative comment. Not

00:38:02.660 so much is contained in a joke about the Cheesecake Factory. So you look at all of this

00:38:10.820 and you say, how are the Democrats appealing to anyone right now? They just have such contempt

00:38:17.060 for the American people.

00:38:18.260 Some of their candidates

00:38:19.000 are running on that.

00:38:20.660 They're campaigning with guys,

00:38:22.240 the most prominent

00:38:22.800 left-wing streamer,

00:38:23.640 Hassan Piker,

00:38:24.240 who says America

00:38:24.840 deserved 9-11 0.98

00:38:25.580 and he wipes his derriere 0.98

00:38:26.520 with the symbol 0.98

00:38:27.840 of the country.

00:38:29.460 How are they running

00:38:30.540 even with Republicans

00:38:31.300 right now?

00:38:31.980 The Democrats are running

00:38:33.060 on slightly inflated

00:38:34.600 gas prices

00:38:35.420 and boredom.

00:38:38.200 A kind of blase attitude.

00:38:39.840 All right,

00:38:40.260 yeah,

00:38:40.400 we got some good stuff

00:38:41.200 with Trump.

00:38:41.680 We kind of forget

00:38:42.200 about a lot of it,

00:38:43.160 but we kind of forget

00:38:44.280 how bad things were under Biden.

00:38:45.380 We forget about 1.00

00:38:45.720 the three million illegals

00:38:46.540 pouring over the border.

00:38:47.400 We forget about this.

00:38:48.140 We forget being told

00:38:48.940 that you couldn't even close the border. 0.98

00:38:50.300 Yeah, we forget about the churches

00:38:52.020 being spied on by the FBI. 1.00

00:38:54.220 We forget about the pro-life grannies 1.00

00:38:55.560 being thrown in prison 1.00

00:38:56.480 and the political prisoners.

00:38:57.400 We forget about all of that. 0.71

00:38:58.620 So maybe let's try out Abdul.

00:39:00.060 Maybe let's try out Tallarico.

00:39:02.320 That's what the Democrats are running on.

00:39:04.560 And unfortunately,

00:39:06.380 in a democracy such as ours,

00:39:08.500 people's appetites can be very, very fickle.

00:39:10.520 This is why the word democracy

00:39:12.620 appears something like seven times

00:39:14.220 in the Federalist Papers

00:39:15.140 when the framers are talking

00:39:16.260 about democracy. It's always in the negative. They're always opposed to it. They're always

00:39:20.220 worried about it. And this is that H.L. Mencken line that democracy is the theory that the common

00:39:25.680 man knows what he wants and deserves to get it good and hard. Okay. We will get to just one more

00:39:30.440 bit on the White House ballroom because there is one common sense Democrat coming out in favor of

00:39:33.880 it. Then we will get to how President Trump wants to pay you a million dollars to expose fraud in

00:39:38.320 the federal government, as well as the CIA takeover of Cuba. First, I want to read my favorite comment

00:39:43.300 yesterday. It's from Ian Bob who says, Michael says he doesn't want to be too lurid and immediately

00:39:49.520 proceeds to talk about getting down and taking care of business and different angles. Well,

00:39:56.360 we all sit here trying to hold down our lunches. Okay, but notice all those phrases. The news

00:40:00.980 is very lascivious. It's a bit, it speaks of licentious things a lot of the time, okay,

00:40:08.840 in our depraved and decadent culture. And I need to convey that to you. And I need to comment on

00:40:14.980 that. And I need to offer my opinion on how to interpret this culture. But the culture is yucky

00:40:23.940 and icky and gross and pornographic. And so how am I to do that? I am to do that through euphemisms. 0.99

00:40:32.040 So you might not like it when I talk about getting down or bumping uglies, but I promise you

00:40:36.460 That is the most wholesome way that I can talk about what's in the news.

00:40:41.440 Maybe I'll try to find even more old-timey kinds of euphemisms.

00:40:46.300 I don't know.

00:40:46.960 The horizontal tango or something like that.

00:40:49.160 Anyway, let's get to one last bit on the ballroom.

00:40:52.760 Democrat Bill Maher.

00:40:54.380 He's a kind of heterodox Democrat, but he's still a liberal Democrat.

00:40:57.320 Bill Maher breaks with his party to defend the ballroom.

00:41:00.740 so uh i see now he wants to get rid of the press pool in the white house and make it into an actual

00:41:08.200 swimming pool did you see that i have seen it yes i have seen it look it was a swimming pool at one

00:41:14.440 time in fact if you go in the stairs underneath where the briefing room is you can actually see

00:41:19.640 the tile from where the pool used to be so he just maybe wants to restore it to all of its glory i

00:41:24.460 don't know if he'll do it but he's been flirting with it this is the one thing that people get mad

00:41:28.700 me not one thing they get mad at me and many things at least you're honest i don't i don't

00:41:33.740 give a about any of this i i like the ballroom yeah america does need a ballroom i love that

00:41:38.220 they we do yeah absolutely it's the united states of america having dinner in the grass it's a shame 0.99

00:41:43.340 it's stupid under a tent yeah under a lot on your feet you're wearing these expensive shoes 1.00

00:41:48.300 i don't know about those ones but maybe if you went to the white house you would spruce it up 1.00

00:41:53.980 anyway. Caroline, so good, man. She's so good. She's such a pro. And part of the reason that

00:42:03.840 she can persuade Bill Maher here is because her argument carries weight. And Bill Maher agrees.

00:42:09.020 He says, yeah, we're the United States of America. Like, what is the argument? Can someone explain

00:42:13.300 to me the Democrat argument against the ballroom? Is the argument that the White House should not

00:42:20.340 have a place to serve dinner? Is the argument that the White House should only have like a

00:42:25.600 really ugly, cheap place to serve dinner? Is that it? You know, it's the White House, right? You

00:42:29.780 know, we're America. Is the argument we should have a, we can, okay, you can build a cafeteria,

00:42:34.060 but it's got to be a soup kitchen. Is that, that's the argument? No, I think the Democrat focus

00:42:40.300 in this campaign has been on the ballroom. It's been on Jeffrey Epstein. That's been a big line.

00:42:48.120 Jeffrey Epstein, which you will recall, is a Democrat scandal.

00:42:53.060 Vast majority of the powerful people that Jeffrey Epstein was hanging out with were liberal Democrats.

00:43:00.140 The argument that Trump hasn't been transparent on Epstein, the White House's release of the Epstein files is one of, if not the single largest, mass declassifications in American history.

00:43:12.080 I don't even really support declassifications, mass declassifications, because I think that it

00:43:16.640 can compromise due process, and sometimes governments need to keep things a little

00:43:21.280 closer to the vest. But regardless, it's like one of the biggest ones ever. What's the argument?

00:43:25.520 So, okay, you got the ballroom, you got these weird vague insinuations about Epstein, which

00:43:28.700 is actually a Democrat scandal, not a Republican scandal. You've got complaints about gas prices,

00:43:33.900 that's real, because of the war in Iran, which many Democrats would have supported and

00:43:41.420 have made these arguments.

00:43:43.640 Do you remember during the Iraq war,

00:43:45.500 the Democrats,

00:43:46.740 basically all of whom

00:43:47.440 voted for the Iraq war,

00:43:48.580 when the Iraq war turned south,

00:43:49.860 what did they say?

00:43:50.640 The big line was,

00:43:51.800 you know, the big mistake in Iraq 0.99

00:43:53.140 is we should have gone after Iran.

00:43:54.960 That was the big talking point. 0.99

00:43:56.700 You know, our big mistake there,

00:43:57.760 it's not that we shouldn't take 0.99

00:43:58.560 Islamic terrorism seriously. 1.00

00:43:59.660 It's that we should have gone against Iran.

00:44:01.680 And then Trump goes against Iran.

00:44:03.120 They say, well, no,

00:44:03.520 we shouldn't have gone against Iran either. 1.00

00:44:04.740 And it's just, I get it. 0.98

00:44:06.700 I mean, I urged restraint

00:44:08.120 on the Iran war too. 0.66

00:44:09.080 That to me is the realist issue.

00:44:10.780 and it has ticked up gas prices

00:44:12.740 though the fallout from it

00:44:13.840 has not been nearly as bad

00:44:15.040 as people would have thought

00:44:15.880 and the potential payoff

00:44:17.080 could be very very great

00:44:18.040 but regardless

00:44:18.540 the fact that they're running

00:44:20.700 on those issues

00:44:21.360 tells me

00:44:22.340 the Democrats

00:44:24.100 have basically nothing

00:44:26.160 in the midterms

00:44:26.920 other than

00:44:28.760 the complacency of Republicans

00:44:31.200 people getting a little blase

00:44:32.980 and

00:44:34.480 not recognizing the threat

00:44:36.960 that they really pose

00:44:37.880 okay

00:44:38.220 I really want to get to

00:44:40.780 i have to get to it i have to get to it the whistleblower incentive program because this

00:44:47.460 is one way to fill up your pocketbook and maybe this will be the end of the michael knowles show

00:44:51.760 because i can get more money exposing liberal fraud in the government than i ever possibly

00:44:56.900 could on a podcast president trump is offering to pay people millions and millions maybe tens

00:45:02.720 of millions of dollars for exposing fraud in the government so here's what we're going to be doing

00:45:09.040 So anybody that can prove that he turned somebody in, in other words, he or she, if

00:45:16.000 you turn somebody in and you, let's say, report and you find a billion dollars, we are giving

00:45:24.940 a commission to that person of 1 percent, it's a lot of money, and if it's 10 billion,

00:45:33.340 $200 billion, $400 billion, we're giving a 1% commission to that person.

00:45:41.000 You have to prove that you were the one and prove that it was you.

00:45:44.960 And I don't know if you can do this, but subject to the laws of our nation, which I feel very

00:45:49.180 strongly about, if a reporter turns somebody in, you have to get approval, perhaps from

00:45:54.620 your wonderful newspaper.

00:45:57.980 But if you turn somebody in, you get a 1% commission.

00:46:01.980 may turn it down or you may say i'm not going to be a reporter any longer this is too easy

00:46:05.760 so the reporter turns somebody in we're going to continue the same one percent so i love this

00:46:12.860 so let's say use the number he used a million dollars you catch a million dollars in fraud

00:46:17.180 you can catch the town dog catcher in a million dollars of fraud and by government standards a

00:46:21.440 million dollars of fraud is nothing you get 10 grand 10 million dollars in fraud you get 100

00:46:28.320 grand. It's a pretty nice salary for just catching some fraud. $100 million in fraud,

00:46:35.860 which can be caught. You get a million bucks. Now, what about a billion dollars in fraud? Now,

00:46:44.160 it's 10 million bucks. All of us, you're looking pretty good. Now, the left is always prattling on.

00:46:50.940 They say there's not really a lot of fraud. Trump is just making this up. Oh, it's no big deal. He's

00:46:55.560 just pointing to this because he doesn't want to deal with the fundamentals of government,

00:46:58.760 the economy, and okay. Trump is saying, okay, challenge accepted. I say there's a lot of fraud.

00:47:05.840 You say there's no fraud. Okay, tell you what, I'll pay you 1% of any of the fraud that anyone

00:47:11.480 catches. On top of that, who are the people who should at least in theory be best able to uncover

00:47:17.880 the fraud? It would be investigative journalists, right? It would be the people who are trained

00:47:23.440 to root out corruption, but this would be a big loophole because they work for the news agencies.

00:47:29.780 They're not so, you know, maybe they would be exempted from the reward. No, Trump says, no,

00:47:34.120 no, you're not exempted. You know what? If you catch the fraud, you get the 1% too.

00:47:38.920 Maybe you don't want to take it. Maybe you do want to take it because it pays a lot better

00:47:41.540 than your local paper or your fake news outlet. So what is the secondary effect of this? One,

00:47:48.020 it's to root out the fraud is the primary effect and to prove the Democrats to be liars.

00:47:52.880 But the secondary effect is it will also get the good reporters to leave the establishment media where they are propping up these fake news outlets.

00:48:01.400 So they're actually, it's a great little one-two here.

00:48:04.940 It's just, of course, it takes the businessman president to figure out how incentives work.

00:48:09.720 This is a great, great idea.

00:48:13.060 And maybe I'll try to, I don't know, I'm not an investigative journalist, but I got to figure out a way to do it.

00:48:18.440 And then, I don't know,

00:48:19.420 you could make more money

00:48:20.680 rooting out fraud

00:48:21.580 in the American government

00:48:23.060 than you ever could

00:48:24.300 in podcasts, cigar sales,

00:48:26.780 candle sales, sweater sales,

00:48:28.980 smoking jackets.

00:48:29.580 There are a lot of things.

00:48:30.340 So much more I want to get to.

00:48:31.380 I meant to get to it yesterday.

00:48:33.040 I meant to get to it today.

00:48:34.140 We'll get to it tomorrow.

00:48:36.240 Marco Rubio wants you

00:48:37.180 to join the CIA

00:48:37.920 to take over Cuba.

00:48:39.400 And this reveals a lot

00:48:40.900 about President Trump's worldview.

00:48:42.260 We don't have time to get to it.

00:48:43.180 We'll get to it tomorrow.

00:48:43.820 We also don't have time

00:48:44.420 for the member segment.
