The Michael Knowles Show - Ep. 419 - Collude-y Joe

00:00:00.000 Did President Trump collude with Ukraine? Did Joe Biden collude with Ukraine? Who's

00:00:05.860 colluding with Russia? Somebody must be colluding with Russia. We will examine the fallout from

00:00:11.280 President Trump's phone call with Ukrainian leader Volodymyr Zelensky and what it means

00:00:16.640 for the White House and more importantly, what it means for the Biden campaign.

00:00:19.980 Then Sarah Silverman gets woke on cancel culture. More border wall gets built. Candace Owens kills 1.00

00:00:26.200 it in congressional testimony and the left encourages a mentally ill child to drop out 0.94

00:00:31.480 of school to help them sell socialism. All that and more. I'm Michael Knowles and this is the Michael

00:00:35.980 Knowles Show. Collusion. There's lots of collusion. Collusion all around. President Trump, colludey

00:00:49.680 Joe, all kinds of collusion. We will examine exactly what happened because there's a lot

00:00:55.500 of confusion on this story. Collusion and confusion. What happened? President Trump had a phone call

00:01:01.160 with Ukrainian leader Volodymyr Zelensky in which he allegedly asked him multiple times

00:01:07.560 to investigate potential collusion by Joe Biden when Joe Biden was vice president and Joe Biden's son,

00:01:14.580 Hunter Biden, not the one who died, but the one who's still alive and the Ukrainian government.

00:01:20.360 We'll get to the actual corruption allegations in a second. Just what happened on the phone call?

00:01:28.060 The Ukrainian foreign minister, Vadim Pristaiko, says Trump did not put any pressure on the Ukrainian

00:01:34.820 president during the call. A so-called whistleblower in the intelligence community filed a complaint with

00:01:40.500 the acting director of national intelligence, Joseph Maguire, about the call. But he's not actually a

00:01:45.080 whistleblower. He's a leaker because he doesn't have any direct knowledge of the phone call itself.

00:01:48.980 That's even according to CNN. Biden is making a big issue about the call. Congress is already

00:01:54.300 calling for impeachment. Okay, that is just setting the stage. What is the big takeaway from all of

00:01:59.540 this? We'll get to that in a second. But first, safety is very, very important. It's important

00:02:05.260 internationally. It's important as a matter of national security. And it's important for you.

00:02:10.520 Ring's mission is to make neighborhoods safer. You probably already know about their smart video

00:02:14.940 doorbell and cameras that protect millions of people everywhere. You probably know about

00:02:18.900 them because I talk about them all the time. Ring helps you stay connected to your home anywhere

00:02:23.240 in the world. So if there's a package delivery or if there's a surprise visitor, you will get an

00:02:27.660 alert. You will be able to see, hear, and speak to them all from your phone. This is actually what I

00:02:32.720 really like about it the most because it does help me feel safe and secure. Obviously, I hit the

00:02:37.800 road a lot. Sweet little Lisa's a pretty good shot, but I don't want to just rely on that. So it does make

00:02:42.040 me feel safe. But it also makes me feel really cool because it's like the Jetsons. You know,

00:02:46.740 it's like living in the future where you can be, you can effectively be in your home, even if you're

00:02:52.400 at the office, even if you're on a beach somewhere. That's because of the HD video and two-way audio

00:02:56.600 features on Ring devices. So this helped my producer, Jonathan Hay. You know, a few months ago,

00:03:02.720 some wackos tried to knock on his door in the middle of the night and he just spoke to them from his bed 0.99

00:03:07.260 and they scattered away. Other friends who I gave Ring to as a housewarming gift, they were really

00:03:11.400 nervous about who was going around their home at night. They found out it was a possum. If, by the

00:03:15.080 way, a burglar even steals your Ring device, it's uploaded to the cloud so you get to see him anyway.

00:03:18.660 As a listener, you have a special offer on a Ring starter kit available right now. With a video

00:03:22.780 doorbell and motion-activated floodlight camera, the starter kit has everything you need to start

00:03:27.880 building a Ring of security around your home. Go to ring.com slash Knowles, K-N-O-W-L-E-S.

00:03:33.440 That's ring.com slash Knowles. Okay, are you confused about this Ukraine call? I am confused

00:03:40.720 about this Ukraine call, but I think I've sorted it out. The big takeaway here, the 30,000 foot view

00:03:47.000 is that Democrats and the left are totally misplaying their hand here. Okay, that's the

00:03:56.440 political takeaway. And this is not surprising because they totally misplayed their hand on

00:04:01.480 Russian collusion for three years. They totally misplayed their hand on Stormy Daniels' campaign

00:04:06.520 finance for three years. They totally misplayed their hand on Brett Kavanaugh's allegations, you

00:04:12.280 know, that he was a super-duper gang rapist or something. They totally misplayed their hand. 0.99

00:04:18.500 Okay, they have very little in the way of facts. That's the common thread here. They had very little

00:04:23.460 on facts in Kavanaugh, on Stormy Daniels, and on Russian collusion, on that Steele dossier. They have

00:04:28.860 very little in the way of facts here about this phone call. Okay, what they have a lot of is

00:04:35.100 innuendo. So they could, they could actually use all of this to raise questions. Even when we found

00:04:41.960 out that they were hoaxes, the Russia hoax, the Kavanaugh hoax, the campaign finance, I guess,

00:04:47.540 is still unresolved, but it's going nowhere. They could use that innuendo to raise questions.

00:04:53.120 Is Brett Kavanaugh fit to be on the Supreme Court? They don't, you don't want to pursue it too much

00:04:58.380 because the more you dig into the facts, the more you realize Kavanaugh is totally innocent.

00:05:03.180 Did Donald Trump collude with Russia? Is he a traitor to his country? Is he corrupt? Is he crooked?

00:05:08.900 You don't want to dig into it too much because you dig into it with a two-year Mueller investigation,

00:05:12.220 you find out he's totally exonerated on conspiracy or collusion with Russia.

00:05:17.540 But if you just raise the questions and you play it a little soft and you play it a little subtle,

00:05:21.980 it actually could have worked to their political benefit. That's what could have happened here with

00:05:27.020 this, this phone call with Ukraine. If they didn't call for impeachment, if they didn't call for

00:05:32.120 investigations, if they just said, here's more evidence that Trump is corrupt, he's willing to

00:05:37.460 abuse his power and we're not going to impeach him for it. But this is, if they just used it to

00:05:42.200 paint a picture, it could work possibly to their political benefit, but they can't do it. They can't

00:05:47.080 underplay it. Instead, every single time they have to overplay it. They have to say Trump didn't just

00:05:53.700 have connections to people connected to Russia. He's working for Moscow. And you say, that's

00:05:58.580 obviously not true. We know that that isn't true. Brett Kavanaugh didn't just party when he was in

00:06:03.780 high school and college. He's a rapist. We, you can check these things. We, that isn't true. 1.00

00:06:10.060 Donald Trump didn't simply try to twist the Ukrainian president's arm to get him to look into a

00:06:14.900 political rival. He's colluding. He's breaking the law. He's abusing his power. And now you're

00:06:21.020 going to do investigations and you're going to find out more and more about what Trump is asking

00:06:24.460 about, which doesn't raise questions really about Trump. It raises questions about Biden,

00:06:29.500 which the Democrats, if they had two brain cells in their head would want to avoid because Biden

00:06:33.580 is currently their best chance at beating Trump and they're torpedoing his campaign.

00:06:36.900 What are the details here? The details are so bizarre, it will leave you scratching your head.

00:06:47.500 The details look so bad for the Bidens that you can't help but wonder why on earth would you call

00:06:54.320 attention to this? The Biden campaign or Democrats in general? Here are the details. I guess the main

00:07:00.620 thing you got to know is that Joe Biden's son Hunter is a complete degenerate. Now we're not talking about 0.90

00:07:06.100 Joe Biden's son, Beau, who died of brain cancer. Beau was sort of the upright Biden's son. He was

00:07:11.700 attorney general of Delaware. He looked like he had the political future ahead of him and he

00:07:15.920 tragically died a few years ago. We're talking about Hunter Biden, who is a derelict degenerate. 0.97

00:07:21.880 He was discharged from the Navy one month after receiving his commission. Why? Because they found 0.88

00:07:26.500 he tested positive for doing a bunch of coke. His wife left him for squandering money on drugs and

00:07:32.160 hookers. You can read that in the court documents. In 2016, Hunter decided to start sleeping with his 0.91

00:07:37.100 dead brother's widow after spending a week buying crack in downtown LA. Someone pulled a gun on him

00:07:43.060 while he was buying crack in downtown LA. He kept going back there. All of this attested to, all of

00:07:48.580 this has been well reported on. The romance didn't last very long with his late brother's widow and he

00:07:55.220 dumped his brother's widow pretty soon thereafter. Now on that same trip to LA where he was buying crack

00:08:00.880 and getting guns pulled on him, he got into a fight with somebody at a Hollywood club.

00:08:04.900 A man named Baby Down, I assume that's not his Christian name. I assume that's a nickname.

00:08:09.400 Baby Down drops Hunter off at a Hertz rental car office. Hunter takes the rental car from Hertz,

00:08:15.020 drives it to Arizona. The cops catch up with him after the Hertz staffers call the cops when Hunter

00:08:20.960 Biden leaves the office. The cops find a crack pipe, a bag with a white powdery substance,

00:08:26.660 a secret service business card, Hunter Biden's license, and a badge from his brother's time as

00:08:33.960 attorney general of Delaware. They find all of that on the car. What happens to Hunter Biden?

00:08:38.900 The cops declined to press charges. They just didn't have enough evidence is what they said.

00:08:44.140 There's a hallmark of Hunter Biden's life is again and again and again, he gets off because his father

00:08:48.780 is a prominent politician. That's just a little background on this guy. Now, what does that mean

00:08:53.500 for the dealings in Ukraine? It actually tells us a lot about the dealings in Ukraine.

00:08:58.400 So what happened in Ukraine is a few years ago, Ukraine's top prosecutor was looking into a money

00:09:04.280 laundering scheme by a company called Burisma Holdings. This is a classic crony company,

00:09:10.120 an oligarchic type company in Ukraine. Hunter Biden, for some reason, was on the board of Burisma

00:09:17.540 Holdings and being paid $50,000 a month. That's a lot of money, $600,000 a year.

00:09:25.060 What was he being paid all that money for? Was he being paid all that money for his expertise on

00:09:31.040 Ukrainian energy? The guy who was getting pinched for buying crack in downtown LA,

00:09:38.940 sleeping with his brother's wife and his own wife leaves him because he squanders his money on drugs

00:09:42.480 and hookers. That guy, that's the guy who has such expertise specifically in Ukrainian energy

00:09:47.460 that they pay him $600,000 a year for his expertise. Yeah, maybe it's that, or maybe it's

00:09:55.040 that he was peddling his father's influence because his father was the top diplomat at the time, right?

00:10:00.120 His father's the vice president and he's handling a lot of negotiations with Ukraine. So what happens

00:10:05.620 then, the prosecutor is looking into Hunter Biden's shady business dealings in Ukraine. Vice President

00:10:12.040 Biden then insisted that the prosecutor be removed from office. And he said, if the prosecutor wasn't

00:10:18.920 removed from office, he would withhold $1 billion in Ukraine aid. Now that Ukraine pushed back on this

00:10:26.700 and they said, you don't have the power to do that. And Joe Biden said, I'll call Barack right now

00:10:30.260 and, and show you that we're going to keep that aid unless you fire the prosecutor who's looking into

00:10:35.440 my son. Does all that sound like a conspiracy theory? I know it does. It does sound like a conspiracy

00:10:39.680 theory. Fortunately, you don't need to take my word for it. Joe Biden actually bragged about doing

00:10:44.380 this exact thing at the council on foreign relations. Here he is. I went over, I guess the

00:10:50.280 12th, 13th time to Kiev and, uh, and I was going supposed to announce that there was another billion

00:10:56.580 dollar loan guarantee. And I had gotten a commitment from Poroshenko and from, uh, Yatsenyuk that they

00:11:04.480 would take action against the state prosecutor and they didn't. So they said they had, they were

00:11:09.180 walking out to press conference and I said, nah, I said, I'm not going to, we're not going to give you

00:11:12.960 the billion dollars. They said, you have no authority. You're not the president. The president said, I

00:11:17.760 said, call him. I said, I'm telling you, you're not getting a billion dollars. I said, you're not getting

00:11:23.540 a billion. I'm going to be leaving here. And I think it was what, six hours. I looked at it. I said, I'm leaving

00:11:27.060 six hours. If the prosecutor is not fired, you're not getting the money. Oh, son of a bitch got fired 0.96

00:11:34.340 and they put in place someone who was solid. Okay. Now how are they spinning this? The Biden 1.00

00:11:41.060 campaign is spinning this and saying he didn't like the prosecutor because the prosecutor wasn't doing

00:11:45.900 enough to root out corruption. That's a pretty, pretty detailed interest you're taking. That's a

00:11:52.000 pretty intense interest you're taking in a prosecutor in a foreign country over some local

00:11:58.320 corruption or something, isn't it? That doesn't seem to add up a whole lot. Maybe that interest

00:12:03.360 is, is more easily explained because the prosecutor was looking into your own son's corruption, which

00:12:08.540 could reflect pretty badly on you. Why would, why would Biden brag about this at the council

00:12:12.780 on foreign relations? It makes perfect sense politically. You got to get out ahead of the

00:12:16.780 story. You've got to define the story as you want. It's not very credible the way that

00:12:19.880 he's defining it, but at least he's got his story out there before this breaks.

00:12:23.820 Even left-wing media outlets aren't buying this. We'll get to that in a second, but first I've got

00:12:28.120 to thank our friends over at Wise Foods. It's very important to be prepared during an emergency.

00:12:34.540 We're seeing a lot of political emergencies going around recently, but you want to be prepared for

00:12:38.540 natural disasters. You want to be prepared if the government can't take care of you in another

00:12:42.920 kind of emergency. Wise Company takes an innovative approach in providing dependable,

00:12:47.240 simple, simple, and affordable freeze-dried food for emergency preparedness and outdoor use.

00:12:52.560 When government resources are strained, it can be days. It can be weeks. It can be longer before

00:12:58.300 you can get to fresh food and water. And you can't rely on someone else. You can't rely on the

00:13:02.040 government. You got to rely on yourself. You don't know what tomorrow may bring. Okay. That,

00:13:06.680 that's the point. You know, I, it's true. You, hopefully you'll never have to use this,

00:13:11.160 but for me, just in my own peace of mind, I've got enough stresses in my life. I don't need

00:13:15.760 this low level stress of what am I going to do for sweet little Elisa in an emergency? What am

00:13:19.720 I going to do for my family? Don't put yourself in a situation where you need something that you

00:13:23.940 don't have. Get prepared. It's just like having insurance and it's, it's a very high quality

00:13:28.700 insurance and, and quite inexpensive. Just do it today. Take care of it. You don't have to think

00:14:16.320 So this is Biden a few years ago, get trying to get out ahead of this story. Question is,

00:14:20.420 did Joe Biden actually interfere? You know, Joe Biden tells a lot of lies. He tells a lot of tall

00:14:26.380 tales. So did he actually do what he said that he did? New York Times seems to think so. Back in May,

00:14:31.220 they ran the headline, Biden faces conflict of interest questions that are being promoted by Trump

00:14:36.380 and allies. So of course they have to say, you know, Republicans pounce. They have to put it on

00:14:41.040 Republicans. But the Times felt this was a serious enough story to run it anyway. And it's not just

00:14:47.220 Ukraine. So what you got to ask yourself, this is the question. When you want to find out if the

00:14:51.400 story is true or not, if there are legs to it, does it make sense to you that Hunter Biden got that job

00:14:58.760 in Ukraine for his expertise on energy? Discharge from the Navy for blowing too much Coke, hanging 0.52

00:15:05.980 around downtown LA, getting guns pulled on and buying cracks, sleeping with his brother's wife,

00:15:10.260 his late brother's wife. So his own wife leaves him getting pinched by the cops with drugs and all

00:15:16.900 sorts of stuff in his car. That guy, does it make sense that he got the job? No. Okay. So why did he

00:15:21.760 get the job? He obviously got the job because his father was the vice president.

00:15:24.640 Is that corrupt? Yes. Was a prosecutor looking into this? Sure looks like he was. Did Joe Biden

00:15:31.740 take extraordinary measures, threaten to withhold a ton of money in foreign aid if that particular

00:15:37.220 prosecutor wasn't fired? Yeah, he did do that. You got a lot of evidence here on the side of

00:15:44.620 corruption from the Bidens. And it wasn't just Ukraine. They had the same issue in China. A lot

00:15:49.880 of shady business dealings between Hunter Biden and China while Joe was vice president. So while

00:15:58.340 Joe Biden, then vice president, was negotiating with the Chinese, Hunter Biden's firm received a

00:16:03.180 billion dollar private equity deal with the Chinese government. This is according to Peter Schweitzer,

00:16:07.940 who does really good research. That private equity deal was later increased to one and a half billion

00:16:12.860 dollars. The deal came in hours before Chinese president Hu Jintao met with vice president Biden in DC

00:16:19.560 for the nuclear security summit. Okay. A lot of smoke, a lot of smoke. Looks like there's some fire.

00:16:29.020 Joe Biden made a major tactical error here. So he was finally confronted about this when Fox News's

00:16:33.740 Peter Doocy came up to him. He was at a state fair and he asked Biden specifically,

00:16:41.320 have you talked to your son about his foreign business dealings? Joe Biden makes a huge error.

00:16:49.120 He goes on the record and says, no. Mr. Vice president, how many times have you ever spoken

00:16:54.440 to your son about his overseas business dealings? I've never spoken to my son about his overseas

00:16:59.160 business dealings. I was actually on Fox News while this was happening. I thought my segment was going to

00:17:04.660 get cut because Biden was, was making news at the time. So it goes right out of this moment.

00:17:08.820 They throw it back to, uh, it was Leland Vitter had the show at that time. And he said, all right,

00:17:14.080 what's your reaction? My first gut reaction was if you believe that Joe Biden never spoke to his son

00:17:21.200 about his foreign business dealings, I've got a bridge in Brooklyn to sell you. There is no way

00:17:25.540 that this is credible at all. That was just what my gut told me, right? Turns out I was completely right

00:17:30.620 because two months ago, the New Yorker reported, this is direct from the New Yorker quote,

00:17:35.300 as Hunter Biden recalled, his father discussed Burisma with him just once. Dad said, I hope you

00:17:40.940 know what you're doing. And I said, I do. We now have it on the record from Hunter Biden himself

00:17:46.800 that he and his father spoke about not just his foreign business dealings, but specifically the

00:17:51.600 Ukraine, specifically Burisma. So what's Joe Biden going to do now? Call his son a liar?

00:17:56.740 And even look at the specific context, the content rather of what he said. According to Hunter Biden,

00:18:03.860 Joe Biden said to him, I hope you know what you're doing. Meaning this deal looks a little shady.

00:18:11.280 This isn't totally above board. I hope you know what you're doing. Why else would he say that if

00:18:16.860 the deal were totally kosher, totally above board, he wouldn't need to worry about that. I hope you

00:18:21.340 know what you're doing means this could be dangerous. This could compromise your career. This

00:18:25.220 could compromise my career. So we have him on record as lying. Then he makes another error. He pounces on

00:18:33.640 it to use the popular term. He, he tries to turn it and he, he tries to make a big issue out of it.

00:18:38.620 And he tries to turn it on Trump. Here he is.

00:18:41.900 Here's what I know. I know Trump deserves to be investigated. He is violating every basic norm of

00:18:49.760 a president. You should be asking him the question, why is he on the phone with a foreign leader

00:18:55.180 trying to intimidate a foreign leader? If that's what happened, that's appears what happened.

00:18:59.780 You should be looking at Trump. Trump's doing this because he knows I'll beat him like a drum

00:19:04.520 and he's using the abuse of power and every element of the presidency to try to do something

00:19:11.920 to smear me. Everybody looked at this and everybody's looked at it said there's nothing

00:19:17.280 there. Ask the right question. Everybody's looked at it said there's nothing there. You had Politico,

00:19:23.000 you had, uh, the New Yorker, you had a ton of left-wing outlets very recently saying Hunter

00:19:28.860 Biden might sink Joe Biden's chances. A lot of people are looking at it, but they're not coming

00:19:32.200 to the conclusions. Biden is, it is bad for Biden to put this in the news. What Biden should have done

00:19:37.580 is said, this is no big deal. Trump's desperate. He's trying to, he's, he's, he's calling Ukraine to get

00:19:43.880 them to look into me because he knows I'm going to beat him. It's no big deal. It's old news. Forget

00:19:47.060 about it. That's what he should have done. That would have been the Bill Clinton approach. You

00:19:50.120 know, he used to work for Bill Clinton a whole lot. Instead, he turned, he made a big issue out

00:19:53.900 of it. Go ask Trump questions. Bad idea to go ask Trump questions because then Trump is going to be

00:19:58.380 able to use this to smush Joe Biden as he's already beginning to do. So now there are calls for

00:20:03.740 President Trump to release the transcript of his phone call. And there's a real question about whether

00:20:08.560 or not he should do this. I actually think he should not do this. Not politically. I think

00:20:12.340 politically it would help him if he releases the transcript of the Ukraine phone call.

00:20:15.980 But I think it's just bad as a matter of statecraft because you want foreign leaders to feel as though 1.00

00:20:21.800 they can speak freely when they're talking to the president. If he's going to just release it to

00:20:25.340 the press every time they have a phone call, it really erodes that, that trust. I think it's a bad

00:20:29.560 idea. It's bad for the office of the president. But that, that aside, all of that aside, President

00:20:35.780 Trump says he would be willing to do it. Why? Because he knows this plays to his political

00:20:40.760 advantage. This is a very dishonest thing that Joe Biden did. And then he said he never spoke

00:20:47.600 to his son. Does anybody believe that one? But then he also said long before that he did speak

00:20:53.640 to his son. So he lied again. But what he said is that he wouldn't give, I think it was billions

00:21:00.680 of dollars to Ukraine unless they fired the prosecutor who was looking at his son and his

00:21:06.720 son's company, the company that his son worked with. And that's a very dishonest thing. And I'm not

00:21:12.560 looking to hurt Biden. I'm not even looking to hold him to it, to be honest. But he said a very bad

00:21:18.000 thing. He said a very foolish thing. Now, me, on the other hand, my conversation with the president, 0.99

00:21:24.860 the new president of Ukraine was perfect. They put out a statement last night. They said the

00:21:30.960 same thing. It was a warm, friendly conversation. There was no quid pro quo. There was nothing. It was

00:21:38.000 a perfect conversation. Classic, classic Trump move. My conversation with Ukraine wasn't just good,

00:21:45.140 wasn't just appropriate. It was perfect. Couldn't have had, you never had a better conversation. Okay,

00:21:49.780 folks. This is the most beautiful conversation. So he's playing this perfectly. He actually is. I

00:21:55.120 don't know if the conversation was perfect, but the way he's playing this politically is really

00:21:59.240 perfect. You notice he's not going that hard after Biden. He lands the punch. He says, Biden

00:22:04.180 lies. We know he lied. We have, we have him on record lying, but look, I don't want to hurt Joe that

00:22:09.660 bad. It's just, he said a wrong thing. He said a dishonest thing. Trump doesn't need to go that hard

00:22:15.240 after Biden because he can send his, his, uh, hounds to go hard after Biden. He can send Rudy

00:22:21.620 Giuliani to go on the Sunday talk shows as he did on Fox news this past Sunday and totally drop the

00:22:28.100 bomb. And here is the bomb that very well may end for, for all Joe Biden's campaign. When Biden got

00:22:34.700 the prosecutor fired, the new prosecutor who Biden approved, you don't get to approve a prosecutor in

00:22:40.760 foreign country unless something fishy is going on. The new prosecutor dropped the case, not just

00:22:45.940 on Biden's kid and the crooked company that Biden's kid worked for Burisma. That was done as a matter of

00:22:52.340 record in October of 2016. After the guy got tanked, he also dropped the case on George Soros, his company

00:22:59.140 called Antac. Antac is the company where there's documentary evidence that they were producing false

00:23:04.840 information about Trump, about Biden. Fusion GPS was there. Go back and listen to Nellie Orr's testimony.

00:23:13.560 Nellie Orr says that there was a lot of contact between Democrats and the Ukraine. Well, I have all the 0.99

00:23:20.980 contacts. And John, when the rest of this comes out and we look at China and the 1.5 billion that the, that the

00:23:29.080 Biden family took out of China while that guy was negotiating for us, this will be a lot bigger than

00:23:34.380 Spiro Agnew. They have fallen into a trap. He's right. They have fallen into a trap. That, that is

00:23:42.360 the way to say it. Rudy Giuliani is not always great on these Sunday shows. He's made a lot of missteps

00:23:47.500 as, as Trump's lawyer, and he's caused a lot of headaches at times for the White House.

00:23:51.900 This is Rudy Giuliani at his best. I mean, this is that classic 90s Rudy Giuliani, just

00:24:00.140 great prosecutor, slick as can be. And he's diagnosing it correctly. All these questions

00:24:09.000 that Joe Biden doesn't want raised or have been raised because Joe Biden handled this matter in 1.00

00:24:15.800 a stupid way. A lot of the ire that's coming up, a lot of the fake ire that's coming up about Trump 0.98

00:24:21.760 on the Ukraine call comes from the fact that Rudy Giuliani was on the call too. So what they're

00:24:25.920 saying is it wasn't the White House counsel that was on the call with you. It was your personal

00:24:29.380 lawyer. And if it's your personal lawyer, it's a campaign matter. And if it's a campaign matter,

00:24:33.120 then it's illegal. And if it's illegal, then, okay. They're drawing a distinction without a

00:24:40.460 difference. So, so it's true. The, the personal lawyer was on here, not the, the White House

00:24:45.660 counsel. There were also lots of government officials on the call. There were a lot of people in the

00:24:50.960 intelligence community on the call, not just in the United States, but in Ukraine too.

00:24:56.500 The president is the president. He's one guy. Okay. So his, his actions don't fundamentally change

00:25:02.060 their character based on who is sitting next to him. If the White House counsel were sitting next

00:25:07.100 to him on the call and he asked Ukraine multiple times to look into Joe Biden, you would be seeing

00:25:13.500 the same news story. It would be exactly the same thing. But it's more convenient for them because

00:25:19.700 Rudy Giuliani was sitting next to him. He was on the call too. So then you can go after him.

00:25:25.420 Here's what I know. The left doesn't learn anything. Okay. They spent three years trying

00:25:28.740 to impeach Trump for collusion and Stormy Daniels and probably for eating two scoops of ice cream at

00:25:34.280 dinner. It hasn't worked and they've spent their credibility. Was Trump's call with Ukraine

00:25:39.080 appropriate? I don't know. I don't know that it was. Maybe it wasn't. Definitely. I,

00:25:45.540 I know it's not uncommon. I mean, I, but it sort of skirts a line. I mean, if you've got the state,

00:25:50.580 if you've got the president of the United States using his office to specifically request that

00:25:55.760 someone look into your political opponent, that skirts a line. That's probably not totally kosher.

00:26:00.140 I think everyone does it, but I don't know. Is it illegal? I don't really see evidence that it's

00:26:04.420 illegal, but you know, sure. It's a little dodgy. I have no idea whether it was appropriate by the

00:26:08.680 letter of the law. What I do know is Trump will face no consequences for this. The other thing I know

00:26:13.400 is that this will backfire on Joe Biden, right? It's not that president Trump is pure as the driven

00:26:19.020 snow. It's that anything you can accuse Trump of, you can double accuse Biden of.

00:26:25.760 Trump is dishonest, you say? Joe Biden is one of the most famous liars in American politics. He had 0.98

00:26:31.120 to drop out of the presidential race in 1988 because he was lying so much. He's told, he's been called out

00:26:37.080 even by the left-wing press for multiple major lies. Even recently, Trump is nepotistic and corrupt. 0.99

00:26:43.400 Joe Biden literally threatened to withhold American aid to Ukraine if they didn't stop looking into his 0.96

00:26:48.740 son and let him off the hook for his corruption. A lot worse than anything Trump's been accused of

00:26:53.040 in terms of nepotism and corruption. Trump is old, you say? Joe Biden is older than Donald Trump.

00:26:58.440 Anything you throw at Trump is truer of Joe Biden. This is Hillary 2.0. I think Democrats are sick of 1.00

00:27:04.040 it. I think they went with Hillary in 2016 because it was her turn and probably because they didn't want

00:27:09.100 to get suicided with two bullets in the back of the head. I don't know. I'm not saying,

00:27:11.860 I don't know why. Why would they want to do it again? Why would they want Hillary again? 0.95

00:27:16.880 Another old crook who Democrats don't really like that much and who very likely would get 0.97

00:27:20.920 crushed by Trump in 2020. If Biden were smart, he would have let it slide. He would have downplayed it, 0.95

00:27:25.900 but he can't resist. And I think this is very likely the beginning of the end for him. We're

00:27:29.380 seeing it in real time. The latest Des Moines Register or CNN Mediacom Iowa poll, which was just

00:27:34.880 released on Saturday night, which is actually before a lot of this blew up, shows that Warren's support

00:27:39.340 among registered Democrats is now above Joe Biden's in Iowa. She's at 22%, he's at 20%. Still within

00:27:46.660 the margin of error, but you see the trend line is moving for Warren. That's in Iowa, first caucus.

00:27:52.300 If Biden loses Iowa, he's done. Bad news for Democrats generally. Biden is the only candidate

00:27:57.240 for black support. He has any, he's the only one that has basically any black support. So the Democrats

00:28:04.320 need black support to win the general election. Joe Biden has all the black support, at least of

00:28:08.940 the top tier candidates, but he's losing Democrat support overall, which puts Democrats in a much,

00:28:14.480 much tougher position. Very tough week for them. So let's get off of politics. Let's turn to the

00:28:18.060 culture. Sarah Silverman gets woke on cancel culture. Good news on the border. Candace Owens kills it on 1.00

00:28:23.580 Capitol Hill and some really disturbing stuff from the left on climate change. But you got to go to

00:28:30.100 dailywire.com to get it. 10 bucks a month, $100 for an annual membership. You get me, you get the

00:28:34.900 Andrew Klavan show, you get the Ben Shapiro show, you get the Matt Walsh show, you get to ask questions

00:28:38.800 in the mailbag. You get another kingdom, which we've been recording and this season is the best one yet.

00:28:43.980 You get backstage, you get everything and you get the leftist tears tumbler. Bunch of climate

00:28:49.220 activists in Switzerland held a funeral for a glacier melting. The amount of water that you're

00:28:54.260 going to see from glaciers melting is nothing compared to the amount of water, salty, delicious

00:28:59.320 water that you're going to get from all those leftist tears. Get that tumbler or you're going

00:29:03.380 to drown. Go to dailywire.com. We'll be right back with a lot more. Let's turn to the culture. The

00:29:18.000 Emmys were last night. Didn't know about it? Yeah, I didn't, I didn't really notice that much either.

00:29:22.900 This was the lowest rated Emmys of all time. The Emmys don't matter anymore. Ratings sunk to an all

00:29:29.860 time low. They were down 23% over last year. Down almost a quarter over last year, which was,

00:29:39.300 last year's show was on a Monday night. Compared to the last time that the Emmys were on a Sunday night,

00:29:44.360 ratings were down even worse. It was 30%. This is pretty devastating. Now you might be wondering

00:29:50.780 who hosted the Emmys last night? No one. No one. They can't get a host of the show. No one wants to

00:29:57.340 host these shows. One, because nobody's watching it. And two, because the minute you host the show,

00:30:02.220 cancel culture is going to come out and ruin your life and ruin your career like they did to Kevin Hart.

00:30:06.860 Like they do to anybody now who comes out to host these shows. So no one wants to do it. No one would

00:30:10.780 accept it. Even Sarah Silverman, who is a left-wing comedian. I mean, she is avowedly leftist. She was

00:30:17.840 asked why there was no host, why she wouldn't take the host. And she said, it's obvious cancel culture

00:30:22.800 is making it such that no one would ever want that job. They cut us off at the knees. There isn't even

00:30:27.860 a host anymore in these shows. They don't want comedians to talk. Did you offer to step in? No,

00:30:34.240 nobody wants to do it either. I mean, it's thankless. It's a thankless job. She's right. Not only is it

00:30:39.500 thankless, it can ruin your career. When even Sarah Silverman is coming around to a conservative 1.00

00:30:45.580 critique of the culture, you know you've gone too far. And the term cancel culture, it gets thrown

00:30:50.660 around a lot and people don't seem to know exactly what it is. Cancel culture is political correctness

00:30:56.260 with teeth. Political correctness is the speech codes and the behavior codes that the left has been

00:31:02.180 pushing for, at this point, very prominently for 30 or 40 years and really for longer than that.

00:31:07.500 Cancel culture is what happens, what the left will do to you when you transgress those speech

00:31:12.580 and behavior codes. So 10 years ago, Kevin Hart makes some gay jokes. He gets canceled. He's going 0.73

00:31:18.080 to host the Oscars. They ruin his career. Last, oh, just a little while ago, a couple of weeks ago,

00:31:23.240 that a new Saturday Night Live cast member was discovered to have made jokes about how Chinese

00:31:28.800 people sometimes substitute the L for the R when they're speaking English, which is an obvious joke

00:31:34.760 and an obvious fact that we've all heard. He made that joke a year ago. They canceled him.

00:31:38.180 They got him fired. Scarlett Johansson last year said that actresses should be able to play people 0.99

00:31:42.180 that they are not. She said she should be allowed to play a trans woman, which by the way, if trans

00:31:48.420 women are real women, then why can't a woman play a trans woman? A lot of questions that are raised

00:31:52.200 there. But the broader point is that actors can play people that they are not, which is the

00:31:55.660 definition of acting. That's all she said. They tried to go after her. She was forced to apologize

00:32:00.000 for that. That's cancel culture. Cancel culture comes fundamentally from a place of weakness.

00:32:06.260 You cancel someone when you can't refute what they're saying or when you can't even tolerate

00:32:10.920 that somebody somewhere has a different opinion than you do. This is the same as PC, right? The

00:32:18.620 same as PC is you distort language because you can't win an argument using clear language. So instead of

00:32:25.280 actually using clear expression, what you have to do is pervert the language itself and that way you

00:32:30.760 win from the very beginning by setting up an impossible situation for your opponent. A very,

00:32:36.020 very small group of people support this. This is the way cancel culture has always worked. Cancel

00:32:41.060 culture is you get a very tiny group of activists and you get them to put a lot of repeated pressure

00:32:47.000 on a company or an advertiser corporation and you pressure them to fire whoever the person is that

00:32:52.740 you don't like. And then they do it because when you're, even when you're customer service for Pepsi,

00:32:57.680 if you get calls from 30 or 40 people saying cancel Michael Knowles, cancel Andrew Klavan,

00:33:02.960 cancel Ben Shapiro, you just do it because you think it's a whole mob, but it's not. How do we know

00:33:07.820 it's not? I mean, this is how Media Matters works or Sleeping Giants is another one of these leftist

00:33:13.480 organizations that have like 30 people working for them, but they make it seem like they have 300

00:33:18.400 million people. The way I know this, this is true is because our pals here at the Daily Wire before

00:33:23.220 the Daily Wire existed had a website called Truth Revolt. And they said, look, we're going to do to

00:33:27.240 the left what the left does to us. And we're going to show you how bad it is. So they had 30 or 40

00:33:31.100 people on call. And whenever some leftist would do something they didn't like, they would get the 30

00:33:36.160 or 40 people to go out and call the advertisers and boycott them and try to get the guy fired.

00:33:40.340 And it worked, but it's 30 or 40 people. It's not real. It's just an illusion. Most people hate that.

00:33:47.060 I mean, even, you know, our pals here hated it when they were doing it. They just said

00:33:50.000 that the right shouldn't unilaterally disarm in the face of the left. So most people hate it. I think

00:33:55.560 we're going to see the same sort of backlash on cancel culture that you saw with political

00:33:59.660 correctness. The backlash to political correctness in many ways and pretty explicitly ushered President

00:34:06.880 Trump into the White House in 2016. You're seeing a backlash to that. You're seeing a backlash already

00:34:12.540 to cancel culture, even Sarah Silverman. In many ways, it's going to be led by the comedians

00:34:16.820 because when you've got a stifling totalitarian sort of environment, the easiest way to crack it,

00:34:24.200 to put a little chink in that armor, is to tell some jokes, to make fun of it, to laugh at it. 1.00

00:34:29.540 That's a way that totalitarian regimes and totalitarian cultures cannot stand to be laughed

00:34:37.680 at. They can't laugh at themselves. They can't have any sense of humor. Fanatics never have any

00:34:42.340 sense of humor. So that's one way we're seeing this breakdown now. Meanwhile, you're getting great

00:34:48.040 news on the political front. You know, while you have people screaming and hissing and talking about

00:34:53.660 how President Trump is committing genocide because he's enforcing immigration laws, you have the

00:34:59.060 majority of Americans supporting the enforcement of immigration laws and it's going along pretty well.

00:35:03.160 Good news at the border. The Department of the Interior is transferring 560 acres of federal land

00:35:09.160 to the Department of the Army, which means that this land is now going to be used to construct

00:35:14.040 another 70 miles of border wall. And they're being pretty smart about it. The land that they're using

00:35:18.300 is a land that, you know, doesn't have national parks on it. It doesn't have Indian tribes on it.

00:35:24.760 It's pretty wide open to be used. So while the craziness and the hysteria goes on in those small

00:35:30.960 little groups of cancel culture leftists, conservatives are doing the slow and steady work of fixing up the

00:35:36.860 culture. You saw this in Los Angeles. The Persistence, big Trump supporter, came out and a bunch of Trump

00:35:43.500 supporters led a major cleanup that cleaned up tons and tons, literally tons and tons, of trash in L.A.

00:35:49.980 They're going about doing the work and those steady results, I think, are going to get a lot of

00:35:53.900 appreciation from the American people who aren't going to get fooled by cancel culture.

00:35:58.840 Over on Capitol Hill, Candace Owens, our pal, was giving congressional testimony. 0.89

00:36:02.820 She was giving congressional testimony on what it's like to be black in America. Her other panelists

00:36:07.560 who were going off on her, who were invading against her, were all white. She was black. 0.94

00:36:15.000 It got me thinking, though, about privilege. It got me thinking about white privilege. It got me 0.54

00:36:20.220 thinking about the way that racial politics play into all of this craziness. Here's Candace's 0.99

00:36:25.740 excellent testimony. The audacity of you to bring up the Christ Church shooting manifesto and make

00:36:32.560 it seem as if I laughed at people that were slaughtered by a homicidal maniac is, in my

00:36:38.860 opinion, absolutely despicable. And I think that we should be above that. To try to assign reality or

00:36:44.020 any meaning to a homicidal maniac writing a manifesto, which, by the way, let the record show,

00:36:49.820 also stated Spyro the Dragon, the child's cartoon, as a source of inspiration. He also cited Nelson Mandela

00:36:56.860 as a source of information. I don't think that Nelson Mandela has inspired mosque shootings. You

00:37:02.120 can correct me if you think I'm wrong. You would rather assign meaning to a homicidal maniac 0.85

00:37:06.780 than to actually address the things that I said today that are actually harming black America. 0.89

00:37:13.020 Number one, father absence. Number two, the education system and the illiteracy rate.

00:37:17.760 Illegal immigration ranks high. Abortion ranks high. White supremacy and white nationalism, 0.52

00:37:22.560 if I had to make a list again of 100 things, would not be on it. This hearing, in my opinion,

00:37:28.880 is a farce. And it is ironic that you're sitting here and you're having three Caucasian people testify 1.00

00:37:33.600 and tell you what their expertise are. Do I know what my expertise are? Black in America. I've been

00:37:38.360 black in America my whole life, all 30 years. And I can tell you that you guys have done the exact 0.95

00:37:42.920 same thing every four years ahead of an election cycle and it needs to stop.

00:37:47.720 Absolutely devastating. Devastating stuff. The left overplayed their hand. Okay. The left has

00:37:57.280 always done very well on racial politics, at least for the last 60, 70 years. They've done very well 0.55

00:38:02.580 on racial politics, not because of the facts. I mean, it's pretty amazing that the Democratic Party,

00:38:07.300 which is the party of slavery, the party of the Ku Klux Klan, the party of Jim Crow, the party that

00:38:11.880 opposed civil rights, that that party, the party that even if you don't want to assign malice to the

00:38:17.280 welfare state through their welfare state programs has destroyed the black family and, and set black 0.96

00:38:22.920 Americans back 50, 60 years. That party always did very well. That movement, that leftist movement

00:38:31.900 always did very well on racial politics because it was all innuendo. So it was all, those Republicans

00:38:37.500 are racist. They don't like you. Those conservatives, they don't like you. Forget about our policies. 0.99

00:38:41.680 Forget about the effect of what we do on black America. Just make, look, they don't like you. We 0.95

00:38:45.520 like you. So, hey, we're good, right? And it worked. It's worked pretty well. If they just kept up the

00:38:52.320 innuendo, I think it would continue to work for them. If they just kept up the innuendo, Trump is corrupt. 0.99

00:38:59.060 Trump is colluding with Russia. Now he's colluding with the Ukraine, even though Russia and the Ukraine

00:39:02.840 don't like each other, but somehow he's colluding with both of them. Trump is doing this. Trump is

00:39:06.960 doing that. If they just kept it at the innuendo, it would work, but they don't. They have to go too

00:39:14.880 far. They have to overplay their hand. You know, I think if you asked people, is there white privilege?

00:39:20.780 Is there certain privilege to being white in America? Yeah, probably there is. Here's a, here's a good 0.75

00:39:26.240 example. Candace touched on it. Black people in America are three times as likely to be killed by

00:39:32.960 abortion as white people are. There are more black babies killed before they're born in New York City 0.99

00:39:38.120 than are born. That is, that is a white privilege. Based on your skin color, you are more likely to 0.99

00:39:44.520 survive birth. And by the way, that's not just a cultural matter. That is a political matter.

00:39:49.880 Mostly white people in government are pushing those policies. Mostly white liberal activists

00:39:55.680 are encouraging black mothers to murder their babies. And black, mostly white people in government 1.00

00:40:02.240 are forcing you and I to, to subsidize that with our taxes. That's a, that's a pretty sick white 1.00

00:40:11.000 privilege. And, but it is a white privilege. And it's a very important one. Now look, everybody 1.00

00:40:15.160 gets privileges. I mean, there's a, a black and Hispanic privilege when you apply for college

00:40:20.840 admissions. This has been codified through a policy called affirmative action. Affirmative 0.67

00:40:24.980 action is race discrimination. It helps people who are black and Hispanic and Native American

00:40:30.720 and other races. It hurts people who are white and Asian. There's a major lawsuit now against 0.54

00:40:36.860 Harvard because of discrimination against Asians. You can argue all you want and say the policy is

00:40:42.440 good. We need this racial discrimination because we need to address past injustices. A fair conversation

00:40:48.080 to have. But the policy itself is race discrimination. Without race discrimination, there is no policy.

00:40:54.280 So I guess you could call that a black privilege or a Hispanic privilege. You can get down to a lot of

00:41:00.060 different privileges, not just based on your race, but based on your sex, based on your, where you're

00:41:05.120 born, based on whether you had two parents growing up. We all have the privilege of life. We didn't

00:41:10.360 earn our life. We, we are not responsible for creating our life. Life is a gift that was given

00:41:14.320 to us. We have a responsibility to be stewards of our life. That life will be taken away from us at the

00:41:18.980 end, probably without very much consent as what usually happens. We all have wonderful privileges

00:41:25.220 that we should be grateful for. You don't even need to deny them. We also all have suffering.

00:41:30.880 Well, I could go through a list of tough things that happened in life, really raw breaks that you

00:41:35.700 don't want to get. You don't know somebody's suffering and their suffering isn't based on

00:41:40.360 their race. Usually it's not based on their race at all. It's based on their circumstances,

00:41:45.860 their personal circumstances. Everybody has those things. You could have a mature conversation about

00:41:50.880 that. And I think ultimately what that would lead to is a society of gratitude when we count our

00:41:55.780 blessings, which far outnumber our sufferings. Even though the rain falls on the just and the

00:42:01.560 unjust alike and falls on the rich and the poor alike and the black and the white alike and everybody

00:42:04.900 else. Our blessings outweigh our sufferings. That's good. That would be a good conversation

00:42:10.360 to have, but left can't have that conversation. One, because it would take away the racial grievance, 0.88

00:42:17.560 which is at the heart of so much of their, their identity politics. Candace Owens, totally

00:42:23.000 smacking that down really brilliantly. And it also got me thinking about the climate issue.

00:42:30.240 You have, there's this, this poor girl, Greta Thunberg, who's a 16 year old autistic girl

00:42:35.600 from Sweden. And the left has pimped her out and made her the spokesman for climate change. It's 0.92

00:42:41.100 kind of funny. They say climate change is the scientific movement. And yet the leader of the

00:42:45.480 movement is a 16 year old girl from Sweden. And their policies, the most prominent one now with

00:42:51.100 those plastic straws is based not on a scientific study, but on the homework assignment of a nine

00:42:55.580 year old boy named Milo Kress. That's where the straw thing comes from is a homework assignment

00:43:00.340 from a fourth grade boy, not a scientific study. So I don't see a whole lot of science there.

00:43:06.080 They had a big climate change hullabaloo weekend and, and they had all of these different, what

00:43:11.900 we would call religious rituals. They had climate confessionals on NBC. They had climate services.

00:43:17.420 They had a funeral for a glacier. I don't know what that looks like. They had climate

00:43:20.680 anxiety support groups, which is more or less a secular church service. But what they did

00:43:27.220 to this girl is, is really awful. It's really awful. And it's going to prompt a backlash because

00:43:33.260 yet again, they are overplaying their hand. This is this girl, Greta Thunberg was just speaking

00:43:38.280 to the UN and she's highly emotional. She's highly censorious. She's obviously not speaking 0.94

00:43:45.700 from any scientific expertise. She's a 16 year old girl. Here's what she had to say.

00:43:49.760 This is all wrong. I shouldn't be up here. I should be back in school on the other side

00:43:58.040 of the ocean. Yet you all come to us young people for hope. How dare you? You have stolen

00:44:08.220 my dreams and my childhood with your empty words, and yet I'm one of the lucky ones. People

00:44:17.140 are suffering. People are dying. Entire ecosystems are collapsing. We are in the beginning of a

00:44:26.140 mass extinction. And all you can talk about is money and fairy tales of eternal economic growth.

00:44:33.740 How dare you? Performance, not that great, but it goes too far. It goes too far. And people look

00:44:43.620 at this and I think they say, you know, left, you've, you've gone too far. What, what the left

00:44:48.800 has done is encouraged a 16 year old mentally ill girl to drop out of school sporadically to help

00:44:55.720 them sell socialism. I say she's mentally ill because she has autism. She's autistic and her parents 0.99

00:45:02.440 and the international left. I say international left. She's at the UN are totally taking advantage

00:45:09.060 of this girl who has a mental illness. They are, they are whipping her up into a frenzy and making 0.97

00:45:14.260 her think she's going to die. They, they make this girl think, I mean, this girl has all the

00:45:17.880 advantages in the world. And she says that we've all stolen her dreams from her as she's giving a

00:45:21.780 speech at the UN, whatever that means. It's easy to make fun of her. It's easy to say she should go to

00:45:26.600 timeout or something or be grounded for, for this kind of stuff. Let her calm down, maybe get her a, 1.00

00:45:31.260 a psychologist and a nap or something, but it's not her fault. She's a mentally ill teenager. 1.00

00:45:41.360 It's her parents and it's the left broadly that are doing this. That is so egregious. That is so 1.00

00:45:47.480 wicked to do that to somebody. Everybody knows that. Everybody sees that. It's overplaying the hand. I

00:45:56.720 mean, they had already overplayed their hand on the climate. If you just said to people,

00:46:00.600 hey, the climate's really getting bad. Say, oh, what's happening to the climate? Oh,

00:46:05.360 it's cooling down. That's what they said in the seventies. The climate's cooling and that's really

00:46:09.080 bad. So we gotta, you know, you gotta give us socialism. I bet a lot of people would have

00:46:14.320 gone along with it. And then even in the nineties when they said, yeah, the climate's really,

00:46:18.020 really bad. It's a, what's wrong with the climate? Oh, it's heating up. It seems like a good thing

00:46:23.700 because it was just cooling down and now it's heating up. So problem solved, right? No,

00:46:26.820 no, no, it's actually bad. Uh, it's bad. We used to want it to heat up and now we want it to cool

00:46:31.680 down. So it's bad. You gotta give us socialism. I think a lot of people would have gone along with

00:46:35.800 that. Then you had Al Gore make his movie. Say, look, global, look, we're scientists. Okay. Global

00:46:42.560 warming. It's going to, or whatever it is now, climate change is going to kill us. You gotta give

00:46:46.240 us socialism. And people said, wait, I thought it was the scientists. Why is Al Gore? Al Gore's not a

00:46:50.880 scientist. Said, no, well, yeah, okay, nevermind. Even then I think they would have gone along with

00:46:55.820 it. But now you have climate confessionals, religious rituals, the sale of indulgences in

00:47:02.980 carbon tax credits. And you make the face of this movement, an autistic teenager who you're pulling 0.97

00:47:08.300 out of school, depriving her of an education, whipping her up into an emotional frenzy, ruining

00:47:12.620 her life. It's too far. You've gone too far. You've overplayed your hand, which they always do.

00:47:17.720 Good news for conservatives. Good news for the culture. Bad news for the victims of the left.
