Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: Good morning and welcome to Bongina Report Early Edition. I'm
- 0:03Speaker 1: your host, Avita. The Kamala camp.
- 0:05Speaker 2: Releases unbelievably bad mail-targeted campaign ads. Tim Walz struggles to
- 0:11Speaker 2: load a shotgun in front of reporters. Democrats admit Kamala
- 0:15Speaker 2: is an absolutely terrible candidate. We've got a flashback to
- 0:19Speaker 2: a deeply chilling Kamala speech from 2019.
- 0:22Speaker 1: J.D.
- 0:23Speaker 2: Vance crushes a pro-open border New York Times reporter. Nike
- 0:28Speaker 2: thinks that lesbian basketball players are more important than Alexander
- 0:32Speaker 2: the Great. And parts of California are bringing back mask mandates. Yes,
- 0:38Speaker 2: mask mandates. All this on Bongina Report, early edition. The
- 0:54Speaker 2: Kamala campaign is in total chaos. panic mode to win
- 1:00Speaker 2: over a group of people they've been abusing and demonizing
- 1:03Speaker 2: for years now. So it turns out, just bear with me,
- 1:07Speaker 2: it turns out that putting all your eggs in the
- 1:11Speaker 2: female vote basket and making man-hating your entire personality doesn't
- 1:17Speaker 2: do too well electorally because half the country happens to
- 1:20Speaker 2: be men, you know, men. So the Kabbalah camp is
- 1:25Speaker 2: deploying some really interesting messaging campaigns to win back men
- 1:30Speaker 2: after treating them like absolute crap for years now. I
- 1:35Speaker 2: want to show you all an ad done by a
- 1:36Speaker 2: left-wing PAC originally launched by former Obama staffers.
- 1:40Speaker 1: Take a look.
- 1:43Speaker 3: I'm a man.
- 1:44Speaker 4: I'm a man.
- 1:45Speaker 3: I'm a man, man. And I'm man enough. I'm man
- 1:48Speaker 3: enough to enjoy a barrel-proof bourbon. Neat. Man enough to
- 1:51Speaker 3: cook my steak rare.
- 1:52Speaker 5: Man enough to deadlift 500, then braid the out of
- 1:55Speaker 5: my daughter's hair.
- 1:56Speaker 3: You think I'm afraid to rebuild a carburetor? I eat
- 1:59Speaker 3: carburetors for breakfast. I ain't afraid of bears. That's what
- 2:01Speaker 3: bear hugs are for. I'll tell you another thing I
- 2:04Speaker 3: sure as I'm not afraid of. Women. I'm not afraid
- 2:07Speaker 3: of women. I'm not afraid of women. They want to
- 2:09Speaker 3: control their bodies, I say go for it. They want
- 2:12Speaker 3: to use IVF to start a family, I'm not afraid
- 2:14Speaker 3: of families.
- 2:15Speaker 1: They want to be childless cat ladies.
- 2:17Speaker 6: Have all the cats you want.
- 2:18Speaker 3: Woman wants to be president?
- 2:19Speaker 7: Well, I hope she has the guts to look me
- 2:21Speaker 7: right in the eye and accept my full-throated endorsement.
- 2:24Speaker 3: Because I'm man enough to support women.
- 2:25Speaker 4: Man enough to know what kind of donuts I like.
- 2:28Speaker 3: Man enough to admit I'm lost, even when I refuse
- 2:31Speaker 3: to ask for directions.
- 2:32Speaker 8: Man enough to not ban young women from reading little women.
- 2:35Speaker 3: Or one of those pants books that the sisters like.
- 2:37Speaker 3: I'm man enough to raw dog a flight. It sucked.
- 2:41Speaker 3: Not worth it. I'm man enough to be emotional in
- 2:43Speaker 3: front of my wife.
- 2:44Speaker 9: In front of my kids.
- 2:45Speaker 3: In front of my horse. I'm man enough to tell
- 2:48Speaker 3: you that I cry at Love Actually. Good Will Hunting.
- 2:51Speaker 3: West Side Story. That and Predator. And I'm sick of
- 2:54Speaker 3: so-called men domineering, belittling, and controlling women just so they
- 2:58Speaker 3: can feel more powerful. That's not how my mama raised me.
- 3:01Speaker 3: I love women. I love women who support their families.
- 3:04Speaker 9: Women who decide not to have families.
- 3:06Speaker 3: Women who take charge. And I'm man enough to help
- 3:08Speaker 3: them win.
- 3:15Speaker 2: Apparently, apparently they could not even dig up one normal hetero,
- 3:21Speaker 2: hetero man to shill for Kamala. They couldn't even find
- 3:27Speaker 2: six feminine men to pretend to be manly.
- 3:31Speaker 1: And that's how crazy that was. They couldn't even.
- 3:33Speaker 2: Dig up guys who maybe are feminine, maybe not hetero,
- 3:37Speaker 2: pretend to be manly hetero men for this ad. Not
- 3:42Speaker 2: one of them looked or sounded manly or normal in
- 3:46Speaker 2: the slightest. Maybe the black dude was sort of normal. Michael,
- 3:50Speaker 2: would you say that he was kind of the most
- 3:52Speaker 2: normal of the guys? So Michael believes that he is
- 3:55Speaker 2: lying about his deadlift, that he deadlifts 500 pounds he
- 3:59Speaker 2: thinks is not possible given.
- 4:03Speaker 10: Yeah.
- 4:03Speaker 2: Michael, Michael is a pretty strong guy. He says he's
- 4:05Speaker 2: not even close to that. And, and even I, you
- 4:08Speaker 2: guys should ask, we're going to ask Dan about this
- 4:10Speaker 2: during the show today, because Dan, he is a big lifter.
- 4:14Speaker 2: He's told us before that he has like leg day
- 4:18Speaker 2: was his day apparently.
- 4:20Speaker 1: So if this, if.
- 4:21Speaker 2: Dan has not gotten close to 500 pounds, I do
- 4:24Speaker 2: not believe it. So Michael says, if Dan can't get 700,
- 4:30Speaker 2: this guy did not get 500 pounds.
- 4:32Speaker 1: He's definitely lying.
- 4:33Speaker 2: But again, this ad was just unreal.
- 4:38Speaker 1: I mean, it was so ridiculous.
- 4:40Speaker 2: And I don't think it's going to play over very
- 4:42Speaker 2: well with men because, again, these guys weren't manly. And
- 4:46Speaker 2: it was just a terrible ad. The best part about
- 4:49Speaker 2: the ad was actually the memes that came out of it.
- 4:52Speaker 2: So literally, this is some of the best I've ever
- 4:55Speaker 2: seen from the internet. One person, this is like, it's
- 4:58Speaker 2: a guy, a still from this ad. And it says,
- 5:02Speaker 2: and another thing, it's not gay if it happened in college.
- 5:05Speaker 2: And another thing in this ad, then another one reads,
- 5:10Speaker 2: sex with my wife, I'm man enough to get another
- 5:13Speaker 2: man to do it.
- 5:14Speaker 1: Heck, I'd even watch. So obviously people are just making
- 5:17Speaker 1: fun of these guys. They're not that manly.
- 5:19Speaker 2: It was just a very silly, silly ad to try
- 5:22Speaker 2: and win over people that, again, the Democratic Party has
- 5:24Speaker 2: been demonizing for a very long time. The Babylon Bee
- 5:27Speaker 2: did a pretty funny, funny spoof on the whole ad.
- 5:30Speaker 1: Take a listen to this.
- 5:31Speaker 9: I'm a man.
- 5:33Speaker 3: I'm a man.
- 5:33Speaker 4: A man enough to cry while watching a notebook.
- 5:37Speaker 3: A man enough to sing show tunes in the shower.
- 5:39Speaker 3: I sing the girl parts.
- 5:42Speaker 4: I'm man enough to pee while sitting down.
- 5:45Speaker 3: I'm man enough to write Twilight fanfiction.
- 5:49Speaker 1: I'm man enough to hug another dude.
- 5:54Speaker 9: That's not weird.
- 5:55Speaker 6: I'm man enough to go up to another man in
- 5:57Speaker 6: the gym and be like, hey bro, nice form, and then.
- 6:00Speaker 3: Give him a little kiss on the head.
- 6:03Speaker 4: Boop!
- 6:04Speaker 9: I'm man enough to vote for Kamala Harris.
- 6:07Speaker 6: I'm man enough to vote for Kamala Harris.
- 6:10Speaker 3: Kamala Harris, are you man enough?
- 6:17Speaker 1: So it's not just ads.
- 6:19Speaker 2: The Kamala campaign wants to, of course, make Tim Walz
- 6:22Speaker 2: the face of their male get out the vote effort.
- 6:27Speaker 2: So on Saturday, they sent Tim Walz to kick off
- 6:29Speaker 2: the annual Governor's Pheasant Hunting Opener near Sleepy Eye, Minnesota.
- 6:35Speaker 1: And it went about as well as you'd expect.
- 6:36Speaker 2: Here is Tim Walsh struggling to load his shotgun while
- 6:40Speaker 2: talking to reporters.
- 6:42Speaker 3: And it never fits quite right.
- 6:45Speaker 11: It's not quite right.
- 6:47Speaker 3: How do you give it back?
- 6:49Speaker 7: Governor, what kind of gun is it?
- 6:51Speaker 3: This is a Beretta A400. I bought it when I
- 6:55Speaker 3: was shooting a lot of traps because it has.
- 6:57Speaker 6: A kind of their patented thing, a kickoff, so when
- 7:00Speaker 6: you get old, it doesn't hurt your shoulder as much.
- 7:07Speaker 2: I mean, apparently this is his gun that he's failing
- 7:11Speaker 2: to to load.
- 7:13Speaker 1: So I'm not really sure. Does he never use it?
- 7:16Speaker 2: Is it actually his gun? Has he ever been hunting before?
- 7:20Speaker 2: A lot of unanswered questions here.
- 7:22Speaker 1: And we have we have one. I think we have.
- 7:27Speaker 3: Oh, no, I'm not. Oh, sorry.
- 7:29Speaker 2: I think he mentioned, did he mention that video, Mikey,
- 7:32Speaker 2: that his shoulder hurt? Yeah, so I think he mentioned
- 7:35Speaker 2: in that video, oh, like my shoulder hurts from the
- 7:38Speaker 2: kick of the shotgun, which is just, I mean, why
- 7:40Speaker 2: would you admit that?
- 7:41Speaker 1: Again, if you.
- 7:44Speaker 2: Michael says, how can you say you're not a man
- 7:46Speaker 2: without saying it? Which is admitting that your shoulder hurts
- 7:49Speaker 2: as you're using a gun that's supposedly yours and that
- 7:53Speaker 2: you use very frequently.
- 7:54Speaker 1: And again, I don't buy that.
- 7:56Speaker 2: Can't even use the weapon that he has. And so
- 8:00Speaker 2: he also was pretty unsafe. We have another clip of
- 8:03Speaker 2: him walking and talking with reporters as he's at this
- 8:07Speaker 2: pheasant hunting trip.
- 8:09Speaker 9: They're working. Those guys are ready to go.
- 8:11Speaker 3: Okay.
- 8:11Speaker 12: Keep walking.
- 8:16Speaker 3: Okay, we can do.
- 8:19Speaker 4: That.
- 8:19Speaker 3: Dogs are working hard. Here.
- 8:23Speaker 10: Ghost.
- 8:23Speaker 4: Ghost.
- 8:35Speaker 1: We're good with that, Mikey.
- 8:37Speaker 2: So a lot, a lot of real hunters have pointed
- 8:41Speaker 2: out that he really had no weapons or discipline in
- 8:44Speaker 2: that video, that his finger was wrapped around the trigger
- 8:46Speaker 2: while the gun is still loaded. Clearly that he is
- 8:49Speaker 2: not a seasoned hunter. And the whole thing is just,
- 8:52Speaker 2: it's a photo op. We all know what this is.
- 8:54Speaker 2: He's trying to cosplay as this manly Midwestern man, pretend
- 8:59Speaker 2: that voting for Kamala doesn't strip you of your man
- 9:01Speaker 2: card when everybody knows that it does.
- 9:03Speaker 1: Yes, tampon Tim.
- 9:05Speaker 2: I have one more male get out the vote ad
- 9:09Speaker 2: to show you all. And I think this one is
- 9:10Speaker 2: actually worse than the first ad that I showed you.
- 9:13Speaker 1: Take a listen.
- 9:17Speaker 7: I love sinking into the couch. No beer in my mouth.
- 9:23Speaker 7: Rooting for the twins. And Tim.
- 9:27Speaker 1: And I love sharing all my tools.
- 9:31Speaker 13: Played by the rules.
- 9:33Speaker 4: Keeping those edges trim.
- 9:36Speaker 3: And Tim.
- 9:37Speaker 4: I love leaving my white notes.
- 9:42Speaker 10: Making a plan to vote. Helping commoner win.
- 9:48Speaker 9: And Tim.
- 9:49Speaker 3: We love you, Tim.
- 9:51Speaker 7: Tim.
- 9:57Speaker 2: Michael wants me to give just a disclaimer here that
- 10:00Speaker 2: that ad, that is a real ad.
- 10:01Speaker 1: This is not a joke. It's not a joke. It's real.
- 10:06Speaker 2: CEO of the Federalist, Sean Davis, tweeted in response, the
- 10:09Speaker 2: meme that goes, how do you do fellow kids? But
- 10:12Speaker 2: instead it says, how do you do fellow men? Because again,
- 10:14Speaker 2: this whole thing is just, it's just a cringy act.
- 10:17Speaker 2: No one, knows in the Kamala camp how to message
- 10:22Speaker 2: to regular hetero men, because I'm not sure any of
- 10:25Speaker 2: them have ever even met a regular guy before. And
- 10:28Speaker 2: it's kind of interesting if you listen to that ad,
- 10:30Speaker 2: and they keep repeating things that they think men think
- 10:34Speaker 2: about all day. Cold beer rooting for the twins and Tim,
- 10:38Speaker 2: sharing all my tools, edges trim. Like, they're all stereotypes
- 10:43Speaker 2: of what someone who doesn't know any straight men thinks
- 10:46Speaker 2: straight men think.
- 10:47Speaker 1: About all day.
- 10:48Speaker 2: And Here's the thing about the left. They view everyone, men, women, Hispanics, blacks, Asians, whites,
- 10:56Speaker 2: all as stereotypes. They don't give people the benefit of
- 10:59Speaker 2: acting as individuals or of having thoughts and feelings that
- 11:02Speaker 2: aren't directly correlated to their race, to their sex, to
- 11:05Speaker 2: their sexual orientation, ethnicity. To the left, individuals are understood
- 11:11Speaker 2: exclusively through the lens of group identity, whether that be,
- 11:16Speaker 2: you know, sex, sexual orientation, And independent thoughts, their feelings,
- 11:21Speaker 2: their experiences, they really don't come into an account. People
- 11:26Speaker 2: are reduced to nothing but categories. And instead of celebrating individuality,
- 11:30Speaker 2: the focus again is group identity, which fosters division because
- 11:34Speaker 2: it implies that people from different backgrounds are fundamentally defined
- 11:38Speaker 2: by their differences rather than what we share in common
- 11:42Speaker 2: as Americans or just as humans. And for men, particularly
- 11:47Speaker 2: white men, Identity politics hasn't elevated them to a protected class.
- 11:53Speaker 1: It hasn't afforded them any unique opportunities like it has
- 11:56Speaker 1: other groups.
- 11:57Speaker 2: And instead, men and purely white men have been cast
- 12:00Speaker 2: as the ultimate villains among all the various oppressed identities.
- 12:05Speaker 2: So what's interesting about these ads is.
- 12:07Speaker 1: They aren't just demeaning.
- 12:09Speaker 2: They ironically underscore the poisonous worldview behind why so many
- 12:14Speaker 2: men don't support Kamala.
- 12:18Speaker 1: Someone says, it's what gay men think straight men are. Yeah,
- 12:22Speaker 1: it's true.
- 12:22Speaker 2: It's like they're pretending to figure out what straight, normal
- 12:27Speaker 2: guys think about. And they don't know because, again, they're guessing.
- 12:30Speaker 2: There are no straight, normal guys that support Kamala. And
- 12:33Speaker 2: you will know that on this point, Obama came out
- 12:36Speaker 2: last week and essentially told black men that they have
- 12:38Speaker 2: to vote for Kamala because of skin color. I want
- 12:41Speaker 2: to play for you guys a man's response to Obama's
- 12:44Speaker 2: weaponized identity question.
- 12:46Speaker 1: Politics. It is very powerful. Take a listen.
- 12:49Speaker 11: Black men owe Kamala Harris absolutely nothing. We don't owe
- 12:55Speaker 11: her a thing. You guys are talking down to us
- 12:57Speaker 11: like we owe her money or something like that.
- 13:00Speaker 9: We don't owe her a thing.
- 13:03Speaker 11: I'm glad that there's a lot of us this time
- 13:05Speaker 11: around who this time she's going to have to earn
- 13:08Speaker 11: our vote. She can't just show up with some hot sauce,
- 13:12Speaker 11: collard greens. She can't just show up speaking in the
- 13:15Speaker 11: southern twang like you've been doing lately, Obama. Come on, bro, stop.
- 13:19Speaker 11: She can't just do that and get our vote. She
- 13:22Speaker 11: has to earn it, and she hasn't earned a damn
- 13:24Speaker 11: thing as it relates to getting to the position she's
- 13:27Speaker 11: in right now. It was given to her, and she
- 13:31Speaker 11: is not capable of doing the job. She's just not.
- 13:36Speaker 11: So please stop trying to convince me as a black
- 13:39Speaker 11: man that I just have to vote for this black woman.
- 13:42Speaker 11: I'm not doing it as a black man. I'm going
- 13:45Speaker 11: to do what's best for my community.
- 13:49Speaker 1: And I love that ad because or that ad, I'm sorry,
- 13:52Speaker 1: it's not an ad.
- 13:52Speaker 2: It's just this guy talking in response to the ads
- 13:56Speaker 2: because he is explaining that. really well that we are
- 14:01Speaker 2: more than our immutable qualities. We're more than our skin color.
- 14:05Speaker 2: We are more than our ethnic backgrounds and our sexual orientations.
- 14:10Speaker 1: We're individuals. But left-wing talking heads, they don't like to
- 14:14Speaker 1: hear any of that, especially from minorities.
- 14:17Speaker 2: I want you guys to listen to how offended these
- 14:20Speaker 2: CNN panelists get when right-wing political strategist Scott Jennings makes
- 14:24Speaker 2: an excellent, excellent point on this topic.
- 14:27Speaker 1: Take a listen.
- 14:28Speaker 3: It was a rough week. I mean, her faves are down.
- 14:31Speaker 6: They're struggling with, I mean, the front page of the
- 14:33Speaker 6: New York Times this morning, Democrats struggling with African-American voters,
- 14:37Speaker 6: particularly African-American men. This gender gap issue is real.
- 14:41Speaker 3: It's a real problem.
- 14:42Speaker 6: And you see the Democrats reacting to it. And I
- 14:44Speaker 6: think what they are now finally in October of the
- 14:47Speaker 6: election coming to realize is that, uh, A lot of
- 14:50Speaker 6: men think Democrats care more about dudes who want to
- 14:53Speaker 6: become women than dudes who just.
- 14:54Speaker 3: Want to be dudes.
- 14:55Speaker 6: And no hunting, cosplay, or cringy videos is going to
- 14:59Speaker 6: change if the bet is made.
- 15:02Speaker 2: There was just a gasp of horror as he said that.
- 15:06Speaker 1: But it's true. He's right.
- 15:08Speaker 2: Democrats have spent years demonizing white men, blaming them for everything.
- 15:12Speaker 2: The only men that they care about are men that
- 15:16Speaker 2: happened to be women before they became And vice versa, right?
- 15:20Speaker 2: There's no, there's no care or concern for normal hetero men.
- 15:24Speaker 2: And in fact, if they do care to even discuss them,
- 15:27Speaker 2: they're demonizing them. And right before the election, they just,
- 15:33Speaker 2: they want to win over this group of people.
- 15:35Speaker 1: With ads that are just chock full of shallow stereotypes.
- 15:40Speaker 1: Tim Walz pheasant hunting, Kamala drinking beer on late night shows.
- 15:45Speaker 2: They have to be kidding. They have to be joking
- 15:47Speaker 2: that this is their strategy. All right, we're going to
- 15:50Speaker 2: take a quick break, but when we come back, we
- 15:51Speaker 2: are going to cover Democrats admitting that Kamala is actually
- 15:56Speaker 2: a terrible, terrible candidate.
- 15:58Speaker 14: Be right back.
- 15:59Speaker 1: Thank you to our sponsor. Again, I'm going to say this.
- 16:03Speaker 1: I'll keep talking about it.
- 16:04Speaker 2: There is an entire movement around destroying alternative media, destroying
- 16:11Speaker 2: right-wing media. So any, and particularly through the advertising industry.
- 16:14Speaker 2: So any advertisers that work with us, you know that
- 16:16Speaker 2: they're patriots. You know that these are good people who
- 16:20Speaker 2: aren't listening to the entire structure in the advertising industry
- 16:24Speaker 2: that is set up to destroy alternative media. So always
- 16:28Speaker 2: shout out to our sponsors. Now, things are not trending
- 16:32Speaker 2: in Kamala's direction. I want to be clear. It's still
- 16:35Speaker 2: neck and neck. Trump is not ahead. Trump's not winning.
- 16:38Speaker 2: We're not saying that at all. But I want to
- 16:42Speaker 2: share with you guys some really interesting polling. This is
- 16:45Speaker 2: a new NBC News National poll. Last month, post-debate, this
- 16:51Speaker 2: poll found that Trump was at 44%, Kamala at 49%. Now,
- 16:57Speaker 2: after Kamala's media blitz, after the American public saw more
- 17:00Speaker 2: of Kamala on a range of platforms, it's Trump 48.
- 17:06Speaker 1: Kamala 48. They're neck and neck.
- 17:09Speaker 2: So Trump is trending better than Kamala. She's losing support
- 17:14Speaker 2: per the polling. And you guys know polling is iffy,
- 17:17Speaker 2: but this means something. And it means something particularly to
- 17:20Speaker 2: the Kamala camp. They are taking this very seriously. A
- 17:23Speaker 2: lot of Democrats are honest enough to know that their
- 17:26Speaker 2: messaging with men is falling flat on its face. And
- 17:29Speaker 2: so they are lashing out. Here is MSNBC saying that
- 17:34Speaker 2: Trump is recruiting men to fascism and that all men
- 17:37Speaker 2: need therapy.
- 17:38Speaker 9: This is actually for all men.
- 17:40Speaker 14: You know, I think men are in crisis, actually, in
- 17:44Speaker 14: this country. I think that plays out different ways. And
- 17:48Speaker 14: not all men are in crisis, of course. And not
- 17:52Speaker 14: all men are just at home listening to Joe Rogan
- 17:55Speaker 14: being angry or being recruited to fascism. Some just need therapy,
- 18:00Speaker 14: like we all do.
- 18:01Speaker 3: I go to therapy. That's great. But I think we
- 18:03Speaker 3: need to.
- 18:04Speaker 14: Have a real conversation about that rather than allowing this
- 18:09Speaker 14: kind of drift to toward this faux masculinity that we
- 18:13Speaker 14: see Donald Trump advancing.
- 18:15Speaker 3: And what I see is.
- 18:17Speaker 2: So they're failing to win over men. And they all
- 18:20Speaker 2: know that. So they're angry at men. They're desperate and
- 18:25Speaker 2: they're angry. And it's sort of pitiful. This is an
- 18:27Speaker 2: article from The Hill published yesterday by Douglas McKinnon. And
- 18:33Speaker 2: I'm going to just read you a quote from this
- 18:34Speaker 2: because it's a truly astounding admission made. I have spoken
- 18:39Speaker 2: with three Democratic operatives behind the scenes who all believe
- 18:43Speaker 2: the race is slipping away from Vice President Kamala Harris.
- 18:46Speaker 2: They offer four major reasons why this is happening. The
- 18:49Speaker 2: first is Harris herself. She is simply not a very
- 18:54Speaker 2: good candidate. She lacks confidence and is seemingly terrified to
- 18:58Speaker 2: take any unrehearsed or unvetted policy questions. Now, this, you guys,
- 19:03Speaker 2: that is a wild admission from the Democrats to say,
- 19:08Speaker 2: We kind of regret this.
- 19:10Speaker 1: This isn't going well for us. Kamala is not a
- 19:12Speaker 1: good candidate.
- 19:14Speaker 2: That's how you know that they are taking these polls
- 19:16Speaker 2: seriously and that this kind of rhetoric can psychologically impact
- 19:21Speaker 2: the Democrat establishment, the people in charge of the Kamala campaign,
- 19:26Speaker 2: and also her base.
- 19:27Speaker 1: It's demoralizing.
- 19:28Speaker 2: So it's actually a very positive thing for us. Even
- 19:31Speaker 2: if the polling is wrong and inaccurate, it can be,
- 19:34Speaker 2: it still has an impact on how people are viewing
- 19:36Speaker 2: this race. It's actually not just that Kamala is dumb.
- 19:41Speaker 2: And I want to talk about this for a second
- 19:43Speaker 2: because yes, she is dumb, but she is also very dangerous.
- 19:47Speaker 2: Some of the most dangerous people in the world are
- 19:50Speaker 2: stupid people. Here is a deeply, deeply chilling speech that
- 19:55Speaker 2: Kamala gave in 2019 at the NAACP dinner in Detroit.
- 20:01Speaker 2: I want you to take a listen to this.
- 20:02Speaker 15: We'll put the Department of Justice of the United States
- 20:07Speaker 15: back in the business. of justice. We will double the
- 20:11Speaker 15: civil rights division and direct law enforcement to counter this extremism.
- 20:17Speaker 15: We will hold social media platforms accountable for the hate
- 20:22Speaker 15: infiltrating their platforms because they have a responsibility to help
- 20:28Speaker 15: fight against this threat to our democracy. And if you
- 20:33Speaker 15: profit off of hate, If you act as a megaphone
- 20:37Speaker 15: for misinformation or cyber warfare, if you don't police your platforms,
- 20:44Speaker 15: we are going to hold you accountable as a community.
- 20:53Speaker 2: When people tell you who they are, you should believe them.
- 20:58Speaker 2: That was full-on George Orwell 1984 police state rhetoric. Revolver
- 21:05Speaker 2: published an article about this speech pointing out that and
- 21:08Speaker 2: this is a quote Notice how articulate she is This
- 21:13Speaker 2: is the same woman who's famous for tossing out word
- 21:15Speaker 2: salads But when she speaks about censorship and crushing the
- 21:17Speaker 2: first amendment harris suddenly becomes passionate and sharp It's the
- 21:21Speaker 2: only time she sounds like she actually knows what she's
- 21:24Speaker 2: talking about And it's true. That was a very clear
- 21:28Speaker 2: very concise speech that she just gave And it was
- 21:32Speaker 2: terrifying And if that's the real Kamala because she's not
- 21:36Speaker 2: pretending anymore, we should all be very, very scared of
- 21:41Speaker 2: a Kamala presidency. Now, on the flip side of bad candidates,
- 21:47Speaker 2: here is J.D. Vance absolutely decimating the anti-America first argument ever.
- 21:53Speaker 2: during an interview with New York Times reporter Lulu Garcia Navarro.
- 21:58Speaker 2: And this clip, it's a little bit long, longer than
- 21:59Speaker 2: I usually do, but it is so worth the listen
- 22:03Speaker 2: because J.D. Vance, he masterfully shuts down her argument.
- 22:08Speaker 1: Take a listen.
- 22:09Speaker 13: About a third of the construction workforce in this country
- 22:12Speaker 13: is Hispanic. Of those, a large portion are undocumented. So
- 22:16Speaker 13: how do you propose to build all the housing necessary
- 22:18Speaker 13: that we need in this country by removing all the
- 22:21Speaker 13: people who are working in construction?
- 22:23Speaker 16: I think it's a fair question because we know that
- 22:26Speaker 16: back in the 1960s when we had very low levels
- 22:28Speaker 16: of illegal immigration, Americans didn't buy houses, didn't build houses.
- 22:33Speaker 16: But of course they did. And I'm being sarcastic, of course,
- 22:36Speaker 16: in service of a point, Lulu, the assumption that because
- 22:39Speaker 16: a large number of home builders now are using undocumented labor,
- 22:44Speaker 16: that that's the only way to build homes.
- 22:46Speaker 13: I think, again, betrays a fundamental- I mean, I'm not
- 22:51Speaker 13: arguing in favor of illegal immigration. I'm asking how you
- 22:53Speaker 13: would deal with the knock-on effect of your proposal to
- 22:56Speaker 13: remove millions of people who work in a critical part
- 22:59Speaker 13: of the economy.
- 23:00Speaker 16: Well, I think that what you would do is you
- 23:02Speaker 16: would take, let's say, for example, the 7 million prime
- 23:05Speaker 16: age men who have dropped out of the labor force.
- 23:07Speaker 16: And you have a smaller number of women, but still
- 23:09Speaker 16: millions of women, prime age, who have dropped out of
- 23:12Speaker 16: the labor force. You absolutely could re-engage folks into the
- 23:18Speaker 16: American labor market.
- 23:20Speaker 13: To work in construction?
- 23:21Speaker 9: Of course you could.
- 23:23Speaker 13: I mean, the unemployment rate is 4.1%. But the unemployment rate, Lulu,
- 23:26Speaker 13: this is important. But most people who don't work can't
- 23:29Speaker 13: work in the regular economy. They're in the military. They're parents.
- 23:32Speaker 13: They're sick.
- 23:32Speaker 9: They're old.
- 23:34Speaker 13: They might not want to work in construction.
- 23:35Speaker 9: The unemployment rate.
- 23:38Speaker 16: Does not count labor force participation dropouts. And again, this
- 23:41Speaker 16: is one of the really deranged things that I think
- 23:44Speaker 16: illegal immigration does to our society is it gets us
- 23:47Speaker 16: in a mindset of saying, We can only build houses
- 23:50Speaker 16: with illegal immigrants when we have 7 million, just men,
- 23:52Speaker 16: not even women, just men who have completely dropped out
- 23:56Speaker 16: of the labor force. People say, well, Americans won't do
- 23:58Speaker 16: those jobs. Americans won't do those jobs for below the
- 24:02Speaker 16: table wages. They won't do those jobs for non-living wages,
- 24:06Speaker 16: but people will do those jobs. They will just do
- 24:09Speaker 16: those jobs at certain wages. Think about the perspective of
- 24:13Speaker 16: an American company, okay? I want them to go searching
- 24:16Speaker 16: in their own country for their own citizens. Sometimes people
- 24:20Speaker 16: who may be struggling with addiction or trauma, get them
- 24:24Speaker 16: re-engaged in American society. We cannot have an entire American
- 24:27Speaker 16: business community that is giving up on American workers and
- 24:31Speaker 16: then importing millions of illegal laborers.
- 24:33Speaker 3: That is what we have.
- 24:34Speaker 16: Thanks to Kamala Harris's border policies. I think it's one
- 24:37Speaker 16: of the biggest drivers of inequality. It's one of the
- 24:39Speaker 16: biggest reasons why we have millions of people who've dropped
- 24:42Speaker 16: out of the labor force. Why try to re-engage an
- 24:45Speaker 16: American citizen in a good job If you can just
- 24:47Speaker 16: import somebody from Central America who's going to work under
- 24:50Speaker 16: the table for poverty wages, it is a disgrace and
- 24:53Speaker 16: it has led to the evisceration of the American middle class.
- 24:59Speaker 10: Amen.
- 25:00Speaker 2: That was– I mean that was the best clip I've
- 25:02Speaker 2: seen all month. It made me so, so happy that
- 25:07Speaker 2: we have J.D. Vance on this ticket. Michael pointed out
- 25:10Speaker 2: that she was horrified when he brought up working in construction.
- 25:13Speaker 2: I think they're going to work construction? Yeah, they'll work construction.
- 25:18Speaker 2: Because another point that I don't know if J.D.
- 25:19Speaker 1: Really hammered home.
- 25:21Speaker 2: Is that when the illegals are deported, wages in this
- 25:24Speaker 2: country go up. It won't be great for major corporations,
- 25:29Speaker 2: but it'll be really good for American workers. Really, Democrats
- 25:34Speaker 2: are on the side of big business against regular working
- 25:38Speaker 2: class Americans. How many construction jobs are could be careers
- 25:44Speaker 2: that you can build and raise a family off of
- 25:47Speaker 2: if this country didn't have tons and tons of illegals
- 25:50Speaker 2: undercutting wages. I mean, Michael brought this up because he
- 25:55Speaker 2: worked construction himself. He was part, I mean, he did
- 25:58Speaker 2: this kind of work. These could be really coveted, great jobs.
- 26:04Speaker 1: And they're not unskilled work.
- 26:05Speaker 2: I mean, these are really skilled labor jobs that could
- 26:10Speaker 2: sustain families that could bring in again, workers like JD said,
- 26:13Speaker 2: who have just checked out of the system. And we're
- 26:19Speaker 2: forcing an entire generation to feel like they have to
- 26:22Speaker 2: go to college when actually a lot of men would
- 26:24Speaker 2: rather go to trade school because they can't raise a
- 26:27Speaker 2: family off of many of these jobs. They're not lucrative enough.
- 26:30Speaker 2: So they take their gamble. They say, I'll go on
- 26:31Speaker 2: a date. I'll go to college and maybe I'll get
- 26:33Speaker 2: something better.
- 26:33Speaker 3: But the.
- 26:39Speaker 1: Not only is the value of college.
- 26:41Speaker 2: Going down, of a degree going down, because so many
- 26:43Speaker 2: people are going, but the education system is so bad
- 26:47Speaker 2: that you have thousands and thousands of students getting out
- 26:50Speaker 2: of college, they're in debt, and they can't even find
- 26:53Speaker 2: a job. We are destroying our system and destroying the
- 26:57Speaker 2: opportunities for real American citizens. Democrats are screwing American workers,
- 27:03Speaker 2: screwing them. particularly blue collar workers, who they claim to
- 27:08Speaker 2: be on the side of. We're the advocate for the
- 27:11Speaker 2: working class Americans.
- 27:12Speaker 3: No, you're not.
- 27:14Speaker 1: And Democrats weren't always this crazy. That's the thing. It's
- 27:17Speaker 1: really interesting. I want to show you guys a clip
- 27:19Speaker 1: from Barack.
- 27:20Speaker 2: Obama back in 2007, advocating for really reasonable border policies.
- 27:26Speaker 1: Take a listen.
- 27:28Speaker 9: I think we should have strong border security.
- 27:32Speaker 12: It doesn't make sense for us to allow a hundreds
- 27:34Speaker 12: of thousands of people coming through our borders without us
- 27:37Speaker 12: knowing who they are, oftentimes in very hazardous situations and
- 27:43Speaker 12: unmonitored situations that could do us long-term damage. I think
- 27:49Speaker 12: we should have a serious employer verification system where employers,
- 27:57Speaker 12: when they hire somebody, find out what their work status is.
- 28:01Speaker 9: Are they able to work legally?
- 28:04Speaker 12: Right now, what employers will say is, well, we checked
- 28:07Speaker 12: their Social Security card. That's the best we can do.
- 28:09Speaker 12: So we've got to set up a tamper-proof system and
- 28:11Speaker 12: then hold employers accountable. And this, for some, is the
- 28:15Speaker 12: most controversial part, that we've got to have a pathway to.
- 28:18Speaker 9: Citizenship for the 12 million people or so who are
- 28:21Speaker 9: already here. You pay a fine. You learn English. You
- 28:25Speaker 9: stay out of trouble. You've got a job.
- 28:29Speaker 12: You go to the back of the line so that
- 28:31Speaker 12: those who came here illegally, that backlog is cleared before
- 28:35Speaker 12: you have opportunities for citizenship. That is a reasonable approach
- 28:39Speaker 12: and one that will ultimately address the biggest problem for
- 28:43Speaker 12: American workers, and that is the depressive effect of undocumented
- 28:47Speaker 12: workers who aren't right now subject to oftentimes minimum wage
- 28:52Speaker 12: laws or worker safety laws or all the other things
- 28:55Speaker 12: that make them cheaper.
- 28:59Speaker 9: For employers.
- 29:02Speaker 1: Now, I'm not a fan of everything that Obama just
- 29:04Speaker 1: said there.
- 29:04Speaker 2: I'm not for just legalizing all the people that are
- 29:07Speaker 2: here already. He's 12 million people. He said at the time, oh,
- 29:09Speaker 2: we should just let them all become citizens.
- 29:12Speaker 1: I don't agree with that.
- 29:13Speaker 2: But there's a starting point there. I could have a
- 29:15Speaker 2: conversation with 2007 Obama about how do we make life
- 29:20Speaker 2: better and easier and more prosperous for working class Americans.
- 29:25Speaker 2: He seemed back in 2007 to actually care about that.
- 29:28Speaker 1: So what happened? A few things happened.
- 29:31Speaker 2: Democrats have been captured by major corporations. I'd like to
- 29:34Speaker 2: say that Republicans are on the side of big business.
- 29:36Speaker 2: Wall Street overwhelmingly supports Kamala Harris and Tim Walz and
- 29:41Speaker 2: Joe Biden over Donald Trump. And Democrats have realized that
- 29:46Speaker 2: mass illegal immigration helps them electorally. So they're sacrificing American
- 29:53Speaker 2: prosperity for votes. They're actually sacrificing lives because we have
- 29:58Speaker 2: a gang crisis, potential terrorists crossing over the border, sacrificing
- 30:03Speaker 2: American lives for votes. Democrats now have a vested interest
- 30:07Speaker 2: in replacing true Americans with people who do not share
- 30:10Speaker 2: our values because Democrats don't believe in things like the
- 30:12Speaker 2: Constitution anymore. Do you want to know how deranged things
- 30:16Speaker 2: have gotten? I want you to listen to this exchange
- 30:19Speaker 2: on ABC News.
- 30:22Speaker 10: The incidents were limited to a handful of apartment complexes,
- 30:29Speaker 10: and the mayor said our dedicated police officers have acted
- 30:33Speaker 10: on those concerns. A handful of problems.
- 30:37Speaker 8: Only, Martha, do you hear yourself? Only a handful of
- 30:41Speaker 8: apartment complexes in America were taken over by Venezuelan gangs.
- 30:45Speaker 8: And Donald Trump is the problem and not Kamala Harris's
- 30:48Speaker 8: open border. Americans are so fed up with what's going
- 30:51Speaker 8: on and they have every right to be. And I
- 30:53Speaker 8: really find this exchange. Martha, sort of interesting because you
- 30:57Speaker 8: seem to be more focused with nitpicking everything that Donald
- 31:01Speaker 8: Trump has said rather than acknowledging that apartment complexes in
- 31:06Speaker 8: the United States of America are being taken over by
- 31:09Speaker 8: violent gangs. I worry so much more about that problem
- 31:13Speaker 8: than anything else here. We've got to get American communities
- 31:16Speaker 8: in a safe space again. And unfortunately, when you let
- 31:19Speaker 8: people in by the millions, most of whom are unvetted,
- 31:23Speaker 8: most of whom you don't know who they really are,
- 31:25Speaker 8: you're going to have problems like this. Kamala Harris, 94
- 31:29Speaker 8: executive orders that undid Donald Trump's successful border policies. We
- 31:33Speaker 8: knew this stuff would happen. They bragged about opening the border.
- 31:36Speaker 8: And now we have the consequences and we're living with it.
- 31:39Speaker 9: We can do so much better.
- 31:41Speaker 8: But frankly, we're not going to do better, Martha, unless
- 31:43Speaker 8: Donald Trump calls this stuff out.
- 31:45Speaker 9: I'm glad that he did.
- 31:50Speaker 1: Somebody comments, just a handful? No big deal.
- 31:54Speaker 2: I mean, who says that? I'm so glad that J.D.
- 31:57Speaker 2: Vance was the voice of reason in that exchange. Who
- 32:00Speaker 2: says that it's just a handful of apartment complexes that
- 32:03Speaker 2: were taken over by Venezuelan gangs?
- 32:05Speaker 1: Don't worry about it.
- 32:07Speaker 2: Absolutely deranged. This isn't normal or remotely okay in the
- 32:12Speaker 2: United States of America. And the media and the left
- 32:14Speaker 2: in general want Americans to believe that we deserve less
- 32:18Speaker 2: and less and less. Higher taxes, open borders, basic freedoms restricted,
- 32:24Speaker 2: zero sense of safety and order. It's like an abusive
- 32:27Speaker 2: boyfriend who constantly is beating us down, making us feel worthless.
- 32:32Speaker 2: And then you try to find somebody else and or
- 32:34Speaker 2: leave and they call you homophobic and racist or something
- 32:37Speaker 2: like that.
- 32:38Speaker 1: And as if you're their property, really, the government, the left,
- 32:42Speaker 1: they are like an abusive boyfriend.
- 32:45Speaker 2: Somebody else comments, big time, fiery, but mostly peaceful vibes there. Yes,
- 32:51Speaker 2: they want to normalize chaos and really.
- 32:57Speaker 1: Terror in our streets. You should just accept that. It's
- 33:00Speaker 1: normal for you.
- 33:03Speaker 2: And they do feel like they own Americans, and they
- 33:05Speaker 2: feel like they particularly own minorities, Black and Hispanics. If
- 33:08Speaker 2: you dare not vote for them, they will lash out
- 33:11Speaker 2: at you in some of the most egregious ways. Now,
- 33:14Speaker 2: some Democrats do agree that American cities are descending into
- 33:17Speaker 2: chaos and violence.
- 33:18Speaker 1: They will admit it. But they disagree on who is
- 33:22Speaker 1: doing it. Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett.
- 33:25Speaker 2: Wants you all to know that it's not criminal gangs
- 33:28Speaker 2: of illegals like Tren de Aragua who are destroying America.
- 33:31Speaker 1: It's actually Americans. Somebody else. Take a listen.
- 33:35Speaker 5: Said that we've got these cities and these towns that
- 33:37Speaker 5: are being overrun by gangs and the crime out of control.
- 33:41Speaker 5: I absolutely agree with that.
- 33:43Speaker 1: And guess what?
- 33:43Speaker 5: It's the MAGA gang. It is the white supremacists that
- 33:47Speaker 5: have decided to descend upon places such as Springfield, Ohio.
- 33:51Speaker 5: So I agree with him. I just disagree with who
- 33:54Speaker 5: the problems are. The problems are him and his minions.
- 33:58Speaker 5: The problems aren't the people that have come to make
- 34:01Speaker 5: our economy stronger. The people that have actually been able
- 34:05Speaker 5: to help to continue to make sure that we got
- 34:08Speaker 5: out of the big hole that he put us in
- 34:11Speaker 5: after COVID-19 with his ineptness. Like, yeah, I agree that
- 34:16Speaker 5: there are problems in our communities, but usually it's some
- 34:20Speaker 5: white supremacists on the other side.
- 34:24Speaker 1: Like, yeah, I agree.
- 34:26Speaker 2: But it's like actually the MAGA hat wearers who are
- 34:29Speaker 2: doing all the crime. It's like this is this is
- 34:31Speaker 2: a congresswoman. This woman is in the House of Representatives.
- 34:36Speaker 2: She cannot be serious. No one is falling for Jussie
- 34:40Speaker 2: Smollett 2.0. Either she's an idiot, all of our leaders
- 34:45Speaker 2: are idiots, or they think we're absolutely idiots because that
- 34:48Speaker 2: was one of the most brain dead things I have
- 34:50Speaker 2: heard all week. Because as we all know, there are
- 34:54Speaker 2: so many MAGA right-wingers who are taking over Chicago and
- 34:58Speaker 2: New York City and Los Angeles.
- 35:00Speaker 1: They're all over.
- 35:01Speaker 2: With their MAGA hats on, parading through the streets of
- 35:05Speaker 2: Democrat-run blue cities.
- 35:07Speaker 1: Be for real. What a psychotic, psychotic argument.
- 35:11Speaker 2: Speaking of dumb, I want to show you guys an
- 35:13Speaker 2: absurd new Nike ad. And if you're still buying Nike,
- 35:17Speaker 2: this is officially your sign to stop.
- 35:21Speaker 17: Today, I have a presentation on dynasties.
- 35:24Speaker 1: But I refuse to talk about the ancient history and drama.
- 35:27Speaker 1: That's just the patriarchy.
- 35:29Speaker 9: Instead, I'm gonna talk about a dynasty that I actually.
- 35:31Speaker 16: Look up to.
- 35:33Speaker 1: An all women dynasty.
- 35:34Speaker 17: Women of color.
- 35:36Speaker 4: Gay women.
- 35:38Speaker 1: Women who fight for social justice. Women with a jump shot.
- 35:41Speaker 17: A dynasty that makes your favorite men's basketball, football, and
- 35:44Speaker 17: baseball teams look like amateurs. A dynasty with fire braids.
- 35:48Speaker 17: A dynasty with sick style. A dynasty with crazy dimes.
- 35:52Speaker 17: A dynasty that makes Alexander the Great look like Alexander the.
- 35:55Speaker 9: Okay.
- 35:56Speaker 17: The dynasty that's been reigning for the past 25 years.
- 35:59Speaker 1: Undefeated since 96. The USA basketball women's national team. Seven-time
- 36:04Speaker 1: consecutive gold medalist.
- 36:06Speaker 17: And most importantly, women that make it possible for girls
- 36:09Speaker 17: like me to feel like they can be a part
- 36:11Speaker 17: of whatever dynasty they want. The greatest dynasty ever.
- 36:18Speaker 3: All right.
- 36:21Speaker 2: First, most obvious critique here. Nike doesn't care about women.
- 36:25Speaker 2: They routinely deny basic human biology and support of radical anti-science,
- 36:29Speaker 2: anti-woman sports, trans ideology. But second, random gay basketball female
- 36:34Speaker 2: players are not more meaningful than Alexander the Great. What
- 36:38Speaker 2: the obsession with diversity has done is create an entire
- 36:43Speaker 2: generation of people narrowly focused on their own culture and
- 36:48Speaker 2: and identity. To the point where they give more weight
- 36:51Speaker 2: to basketball players who happen to be female, black, and
- 36:53Speaker 2: lesbian than historical figures like Alexander the Great. No one
- 36:58Speaker 2: is studying history or thinking beyond the present because they're
- 37:01Speaker 2: stupid and believe that there's nothing to learn from the past.
- 37:04Speaker 2: This is progressivism doing this. No looking back.
- 37:10Speaker 1: It's all dismissed.
- 37:13Speaker 2: Because it's a product of white Western civilization and somehow
- 37:16Speaker 2: it's racist and bad and so we can't even care
- 37:17Speaker 2: or think about it.
- 37:18Speaker 1: It's a cancerous way to view the world, to view
- 37:21Speaker 1: the past.
- 37:22Speaker 2: People ignorant of the past and narcissistically consumed in their
- 37:27Speaker 2: group identities are actually very dangerous for society. Culturally, civilizationally,
- 37:31Speaker 2: this is not sustainable. And it's related to the dramatic
- 37:35Speaker 2: shift in ethos over recent years. Things are getting increasingly dystopian.
- 37:40Speaker 2: really on every level of culture and society, and Americans
- 37:43Speaker 2: are putting up with more and more tyranny. In California,
- 37:47Speaker 2: it's almost inconceivable how bad it's gotten. Per the Postmillennial,
- 37:51Speaker 2: several Bay Area counties are reinstating mask mandates starting November
- 37:56Speaker 2: 1st and continuing through March 31st or April 30th, 2025,
- 38:01Speaker 2: to curb the spread of COVID-19, the flu, and other
- 38:04Speaker 2: respiratory illnesses. The COVID hysteria is completely gone. No normal
- 38:08Speaker 2: American is still freaking out about COVID. We know that
- 38:11Speaker 2: the government lied about pretty much everything, including the efficacy
- 38:15Speaker 2: of masks. And citizens in California are tolerating mask mandates again?
- 38:19Speaker 2: And on this topic, I want to give you guys
- 38:23Speaker 2: a quick little weekend update. And this might sound a
- 38:26Speaker 2: love field, but I'll explain why I'm telling you this.
- 38:30Speaker 2: I've been rollerblading my entire life. When my dad ran
- 38:33Speaker 2: for Congress and he was in office for a while,
- 38:36Speaker 2: my siblings and I did tons and tons of parades.
- 38:38Speaker 2: And instead of walking down the parade routes in the summertime,
- 38:41Speaker 2: my siblings and I would strap on some rollerblades and
- 38:44Speaker 2: we would rollerblade down the route, passing out literature and
- 38:47Speaker 2: candy and that sort of thing. So I've been rollerblading
- 38:49Speaker 2: for a really long time. And I went to a
- 38:53Speaker 2: skate park here locally in Jensen Beach, Florida, And I
- 38:57Speaker 2: have since learned that Jensen Beach apparently pays a city
- 39:02Speaker 2: employee to stand guard at the skate park and make
- 39:05Speaker 2: sure that people are wearing helmets all day. All day
- 39:09Speaker 2: they have somebody stationed there to make sure you are
- 39:11Speaker 2: wearing a helmet. And I didn't want to cause an
- 39:14Speaker 2: issue for the city worker. I didn't have a helmet.
- 39:17Speaker 2: So I was like, okay, I'm not going to cause
- 39:19Speaker 2: a problem here.
- 39:20Speaker 1: I'll leave. He's just doing his job. He didn't make
- 39:23Speaker 1: the rules. But you have to be kidding me.
- 39:26Speaker 2: Our tax dollars, at least my tax dollars, are going
- 39:29Speaker 2: to paying some guy to stand guard at a park
- 39:32Speaker 2: and make sure people are wearing helmets. Drop a comment
- 39:36Speaker 2: if you think that this is unbelievably wasteful of taxpayer resources.
- 39:41Speaker 1: I was beside myself.
- 39:43Speaker 2: And America's litigious culture plays a big role in this
- 39:46Speaker 2: kind of thing.
- 39:46Speaker 1: But it's also, again, just wasteful and controlling.
- 39:50Speaker 2: And the disturbing thing is that whatever corruption and injustice
- 39:54Speaker 2: that you notice at the local level, and it's always there,
- 39:58Speaker 2: it's always at the local level, multiply it by a
- 40:00Speaker 2: thousand if you want to know what it's like at
- 40:01Speaker 2: the federal level. The bureaucracy views us as the enemy.
- 40:06Speaker 2: And the only way for them to amass more social
- 40:09Speaker 2: control with less oversight and accountability is to destroy the Constitution.
- 40:14Speaker 1: That's exactly what.
- 40:14Speaker 2: Kamala was calling for in that 2019 soundbite I played.
- 40:17Speaker 2: We are heading into dark times. And with that, I
- 40:20Speaker 2: want to share with you guys my last story here.
- 40:23Speaker 2: On Saturday, it was the feast day of Our Lady
- 40:28Speaker 2: of the Pillar, which is my namesake and my grandmother's.
- 40:31Speaker 2: My middle name is Pilar, and her first name is Pilar.
- 40:35Speaker 2: This is my grandmother when she was younger, a very
- 40:38Speaker 2: beautiful woman. So the feast day of Our Lady of
- 40:41Speaker 2: the Pillar is a very ancient, ancient Christian holiday. It
- 40:48Speaker 2: It is the first recorded Marian apparition in history. It
- 40:52Speaker 2: occurred in 40 AD, while Mary actually still lived. And
- 40:56Speaker 2: the story goes that at Mary's suggestion, the apostle St.
- 41:00Speaker 2: James left to evangelize Spain after the death of Christ.
- 41:03Speaker 2: So around 10 years after Jesus died, James travels to Spain.
- 41:07Speaker 2: But he struggles to convert the people there. And then
- 41:10Speaker 2: believing that there is no hope, he plans to return
- 41:13Speaker 2: back to Judea. And one night, he and his disciples...
- 41:18Speaker 2: prayed for a blessing. And in their midst, Mary appeared
- 41:22Speaker 2: standing on top of an ivory pillar. And if you
- 41:24Speaker 2: guys are listening on Rumble, you can see that the
- 41:26Speaker 2: image and get a, get a picture of what that
- 41:27Speaker 2: looked like. And Mary assured James that far from a
- 41:32Speaker 2: lost cause, these people, the Spanish people would become a
- 41:36Speaker 2: nation of great faith. And Spain has been deeply, a
- 41:41Speaker 2: deeply devoted Christian country for hundreds of years since And
- 41:45Speaker 2: this is pretty amazing because, and I didn't even know
- 41:48Speaker 2: this until I looked into this over the weekend, but
- 41:52Speaker 2: Christopher Columbus, of course, he sailed the ocean blue in 1492,
- 41:55Speaker 2: thanks to his financing from Spain. And he actually discovered
- 41:59Speaker 2: America on October the 12th, which is the feast day
- 42:02Speaker 2: of Our Lady of the Pillar. And this discovery, of course,
- 42:05Speaker 2: marked the conversion of millions and millions of people to
- 42:09Speaker 2: Christianity in the New World. And It got me thinking
- 42:14Speaker 2: that this, the feast day about the story and also
- 42:18Speaker 2: the Nike ad and all the identity politics that we
- 42:21Speaker 2: covered today, that we are a part of a far
- 42:23Speaker 2: bigger story that stretches back even before the founding of
- 42:27Speaker 2: America and the courageous men and women who settled this
- 42:31Speaker 2: untamed continent. Long before the pilgrims and the pioneers and
- 42:35Speaker 2: the conquistadors, the story was still being written. Our current
- 42:39Speaker 2: sacred values were being formed by the rich tradition of
- 42:43Speaker 2: Western Christian thought that developed thanks to the greatest story
- 42:48Speaker 2: ever told, which is the Gospels. It is a tragedy
- 42:52Speaker 2: that so many young people, many people, but particularly young
- 42:56Speaker 2: people today, view themselves narrowly through the divisive lens of
- 43:00Speaker 2: identity politics. This insularity, it blinds us to the extraordinary
- 43:06Speaker 2: contributions of those who came before us, men and women
- 43:09Speaker 2: who believed they are now dismissed as problematic by modern progressives,
- 43:13Speaker 2: but who in reality we owe everything to. Is it
- 43:17Speaker 2: any wonder that so many view life as mundane and
- 43:22Speaker 2: meaningless and they lack any broader understanding of this place
- 43:28Speaker 2: that we have in an epic historical spiritual journey of humanity?
- 43:33Speaker 2: It's no wonder that so many people are depressed today
- 43:36Speaker 2: because they view themselves so insularly, through this lens of
- 43:41Speaker 2: identity politics, of narcissistic sentiments of just themselves and what's
- 43:47Speaker 2: immediately in front of them. And when you lose sight
- 43:50Speaker 2: of where you come from and what we've inherited, you
- 43:52Speaker 2: really do risk losing everything. And I fear that we
- 43:55Speaker 2: are doing just that. And with that, you guys, I
- 43:59Speaker 2: hope you had a wonderful Monday morning. I'm so glad

- 44:20Speaker 4: I think a lot of people are underestimating the Trump
- 44:22Speaker 4: effect in this midterm. You've heard it yourself. Act like
- 44:26Speaker 4: I'm on the ballot. Why is he saying that? You
- 44:28Speaker 4: think he doesn't know what he's doing? That is the
- 44:31Speaker 4: X factor. Folks, elections are a math issue. That is it.
- 44:36Speaker 4: This is not a football game. If you vote, we
- 44:40Speaker 4: will win. It is not complicated.
