Like an idiot or like a genius, and you don't quite know. That's the ambiguity in the ad. I think it's a great ad. It's a great launch video. I mean that without any irony whatsoever. It's great. Why is it great? It's great because she gets what politics in America is about right now. And that's one word, five letters. Trump. Politics in America has been about Trump for a decade. And some people try to say it's not really about Trump. You know, it's about this issue, and it's about that issue. And it's not really. It is about Trump. Trump's the biggest political star. He was the biggest TV star before that. He's been a star for 40 years. And she knows that. And so rather than run away from that.

B (5:20)

She leans into it. Rather than try to undermine that. Rather than launch her ad making fun of Trump, say she leans in. She says, no look, he dominates American politics. He won the popular vote in 2024. Obviously a lot of people like him. And I'm gonna use him to talk about me, cuz he's talking about me. And if the biggest political star of a decade or more. Really, really more than that though he's been the man since he announced for President 2015. The Big Star says that I'm the next big star and that's good for me.

B (5:56)

And one of Trump's secrets is everyone called him an idiot, but it turns out he's not an idiot. Turns out he's actually very good at being president. Turns out he's good at the domestic policy, he's good at the foreign policy. He's a lot better than anybody thought he is. He's better at electoral politics. He's only the second guy in American history to get elected to a non consecutive second term. So one of his key advantages is being called an idiot and then proving people wrong. Well, what did Trump do? He called her an idiot. So you get it in his own words, she turns, she smiles at this, makes her an underdog. It manages expectations, it catches attention. Because this is not the kind of ad you're supposed to put out there. She's running for Senate in Texas. Compare her to the last two candidates they've had running for Senate in Texas. Who are those guys? Colin Allred, remember him? Colin Allred who tried to be a moderate, he pretended to be a moderate and then Ted Cruz knocked him out with that commercial where Colin Allred, he was a football player and he tackles a little girl. The Colin Allred character tackles a little girl cuz he made it about men and women's sports. So the supposed moderate who's trying to win over the Republican sports, he gets blown out of the water. Same thing. Remember Beto? Ha ha ha. I'm Beto. Ha ha. He's skateboarding around the Whataburger parking lot. Him too. He was. I'm trying to be a moderate. I'm trying to be the next, next John F. Kennedy. Ha ha ha ha. And he just, There was no place for him. He got destroyed by Ted Cruz.

B (7:18)

So the Democrats were saying, we gotta run a moderate in Texas. We gotta run a. We gotta run someone who seems Republican even if they support the Democrat policies. Well, that hasn't worked. You've gotten a little closer than some people expected. But you don't wanna. It doesn't matter how close you get. It doesn't matter if you lose by a tenth of a percentage point. If you Lose, you lose. The winners make policy, the losers go home. So Jasmine Crockett is gonna come out. She hasn't made this argument explicitly yet, but she will, which is, hey, you've tried this one strategy. It hasn't worked, so you gotta go with me. You've tried the guys who seem kind of like white bread and milk toast, and that hasn't worked. So try me. I code switch. I'm provocative, I'm vulgar. I appeal to the lowest common denominator. Try me.

C (8:01)

Why not?

B (8:02)

The other one hasn't worked. Try me. I think she's. She's a good politician. I've long said this about AOC when all the Republicans are just making fun of aoc. What an idiot. Ha ha, ha. This is such a joke. I said, hey, guys, whatever. I'm not saying she's a Rhodes scholar, but she's pretty good at her job. Same thing's true of Jasmine Crockett. Okay, speaking of more bold political messaging, the Department of Homeland Security has a great Christmas message. They've come out to say that illegal aliens need to go ho, ho, home. The message posted it to social media, and it's the police with their Santa hats on in front of Christmas trees with little Christmas lights on their police shields sending the illegals home. Do we have the video? They put a wreath on the Humvee. It's really nice. And.

B (8:52)

The libs are furious. How dare you? Even the squishes in the Republican Party. How dare you? How dare you make light of this at Christmas time. How could you?

C (8:59)

How could you?

B (9:01)

So that obviously they're always gonna complain about this kind of provocative, flamboyant messaging that's coming from the dhs, from the Trump administration. But you're also hearing complaints from some people on the right. You're hearing complaints from Trump's right in as much as there are people, some of whom voted for Trump, some of whom sought to undermine Trump, but they call themselves on the right, and they'll say, well, Trump isn't deporting enough people. The problem with this kind of provocative messaging is not the actual cruelty that it reflects. It's that it doesn't reflect enough cruelty. So basically, the Trump administration is pulling a bait and switch. They promised you mass deportations. They didn't give you mass deportations. Now they're just giving you provocative, fun messaging to make you feel good emotionally, but not actually deliver. That's the criticism from the right. And it's kind of bogus. It's kind of bogus when you look at the Real numbers. Because some people say, oh, Trump's only deported 300,000, 400,000 people. That isn't true. First of all, the official number of formal deportations is 527,000 as of last month. But that doesn't tell you anywhere near the whole story because the majority of people, illegal aliens who have left this country over the Trump administration over the last 11 months have self deported. Some of them have self deported using an app. A smaller number have self deported using an app where the government incentivizes them says we'll pay you 1000 bucks when we geolocate you down in your country of origin. But many, many more have just left because they don't want to get raided by ice, because they don't want to be arrested, cuz they don't want to sit in prison because they don't want to go down to Bukele's torture chamber in El Salvador. At least that's how it's described by the liberal media. It's as though they're going to send them down to a concentration camp in El Salvador. By the way, El Salvador has promoted that image. They frog march face tattooed Ms. 13 gangsters around to make it seem scary as all get out. They do that for a reason too. It's the same reason that you have the ho ho ho post from the dhs and that is to encourage people to get in line themselves. Cuz it's much more efficient as a matter of cost. As a matter of federal resources like personnel resources, it's much more efficient if people start following the law of their own accord, with some encouragement maybe from the PR campaigns. It's much more efficient if people self deport. So the official government number for self deports is over three times the formal deportation number. It's 1.6 million self deports just this year. Other organizations have looked at this. Some people have lower numbers, but they're all pretty impressive. The lowest report states between 500 and 700,000. Okay, so that means that you are getting 100% more deportations than the official government numbers show you through self deportation. And why do you get the self deports? Because you have this relentless PR campaign saying that we're gonna go kick your door and arrest your granny and send her to a concentration camp in El Salvador. That serves a strategic purpose. The strategic purpose to encourage self deportation. I think this criticism supposedly from the right of the Trump administration, it's really weak stuff. I think it's from people who got it wrong who said that Trump wasn't gonna do what he said he was gonna do. And then he did end up substantially doing what he said he was gonna do. And now it's a kind of cope for that.

B (12:23)

But no. And it curiously apes the exact criticism you're getting from the left. The Trump administration shouldn't message this way. It's cruel, it's over the top, it's provocative. Yeah, but it works. It works. And it's. By the way, it works to advance the cause of humanity in these deportations. Cuz it's a lot better for these people to just go home of their own accord than it is for Tom Holman to kick in their door, grab them by the ankles and throw them into prison in El Salvador. Okay? Much, much more effective political messaging than the old kind that we got from the gop. The old kind, which we're still hearing again from a sitting US Senator saying we all need to wake up every day. First question we have to ask ourselves. How can we be nicer to immigrants?

B (14:25)

He's a senator from Utah. Most people don't really know a lot of senators. Isn't that funny? You know, this is one of the most exclusive clubs in the world, and yet a lot of people are gonna say, John Curtis, who's that guy? Never heard. I know. Mike Lee. Mike Lee. Rock, ribbed Mike Lee. I know that senator from Utah, remember Mitt Romney. Squish. Mitt Romney gets. He's gone. Okay, so John Curtis, Republican senator from Utah, goes on cnn, not a good sign. And he has this to say about what Americans should do when we wake up.

D (14:53)

Control anybody but me, right? And the best thing I can do is set my example. And I think all of us need to wake up every morning, look in the mirror, and say, what are we doing? What am I doing specifically today to make this country a better country, to make our. All of our immigrants feel more welcome. That's what we've always had. And if. I think if more of us would do that, it would matter less what individuals, right?

B (15:17)

But as you know, he's not just an individual.

E (15:19)

He's the President of the United States calling an entire community garbage.

B (15:23)

So.

B (15:25)

What is going on in Utah? There are some great guys in Utah. I mentioned Mike Lee. Mike Lee Rock, ribbed, plugged in, Hardcore. Gets it. Gets it. Responsive to the base. Serious guy. But then what on earth? You get the kind of the Romney types. You get this. First thing you do in the morning is you wake up, you say, how can we make the face tattooed Trende Aragua cartel members feel a little more welcome today? That's what we've always done. What I wake up in the morning, first thing I think is, oh, shoot, I gotta write my show. Uh, oh, why'd I snooze so many times? I gotta write my show. Second thing I think is, I wonder what Elise is making for breakfast. Ooh, I hope. Did she buy a ham steak yesterday? I think she bought a ham steak. Man, I hope I get ham steak in my eggs and cheese. That'll be really. Third thing, I think I need to go make my espresso. I'm feeling a little bit groggy. Fourth thing I think, what was that thing that I dreamt about? It's kind of funny, isn't it? You wake up and then you have this vivid dream, and then you kind of forget your dream. Somewhere around the 10 billionth thing I think about is, how can we make all of the illegal aliens feel better today?

B (16:37)

Long before I think about that, I think, how can we make the illegal aliens feel worse today so they leave and go home?

B (16:45)

What on earth? He says, this is how it's always been in America. A reminder. And we'll get to the way that history is written and rewritten. Just the natural course of history momentarily, but a reminder. For much of, if not most of American history, we have not been particularly welcoming to migrants when the country was founded. First of all, even before the official founding of the country, this place was settled by very tightly knit communities who not only didn't welcome newcomers openly, but who frequently kicked out members. I think of poor Anne Hutchinson in her Puritan religious community here in New England. When she embraced a view considered heretic, it actually was heretical, but considered heretical by her community. And she was banished and had to go to New York, where she got murdered by Indians. And we now have the Hutchinson Parkway near the spot of her murder. I remember people banishing. There was a poet in one of the Puritan communities, I guess. I actually think it was Plymouth Colony. There was a poet who was a little bit bawdy. You know, he would write about women in a kind of a bawdy way. He was banished to an island. He wasn't even allowed to stay in the colony. He was banished to an island to wait for a ship from England to pick him up. Then after the founding era, we severely restricted immigration until, I don't know, about the middle of the 19th century, we started to let some people in, and then we were very mean to them. We were very rough on the immigrants from Germany. Later from Ireland. We were very rough on the immigrants from China. Cut that one off pretty quick. Tough on the Italians, tough on the Jews. Then in the 1920s, we just stopped it, basically. We severely restricted immigration. We all the way until the mid-60s. So this story, America's a nation of immigrants. That is not true. That is totally made up. And beyond that, the idea that we were always welcoming to immigrants is completely preposterous. That is not the story of America. Anyway, this is the line. It would have been crazy to hear this line even 10 years ago. But we did hear it, though. And to hear it today, after the Trump revolution. You think it's this kind of talk that necessitated the rise of Trump? Because that kind of talk is crazy, and Trump was a corrective to that. And does he get it right all the time? No, he's gotten it right. I don't know. 99.3% of the time, probably. But obviously he's a human being. People get stuff wrong. But that's why Trump happened. And a lot of the old guard couldn't get it when Trump happened. Totally, totally insane. Okay, Speaking of provocative rhetoric, there was a showdown yesterday on Piers Morgan's show. It was between the very controversial, very, very provocateur, right wing streame Nick Fuentes and Piers Morgan. And there's been this kind of game for a long time. No one wanted to have Fuentes on their platforms because he was saying very extreme things that people found very offensive, in most cases, rightly found very, very offensive. And so they didn't want to have him on. And then slowly people have been having him on. So one guy has him on and then they say, oh, he got a lot of views, all right? The next guy has, oh, that guy got a lot of views. Then the next guy. And it becomes this very tempting thing for broadcasters to say, well, I want to get those cool views. And so they start to have them on. And Piers Morgan comes in and he said, look, people are doing softball interviews. I want to do a hardball interview. And so they have this interview. And I thought it was very, very interesting. Piers asked a lot of very good questions, and I thought Fuentes answered them very, very astutely, very shrewdly. I mean, this is a very impressive political operator, there's no question about that. Now the reaction is.

B (20:25)

It'S all fake. So the New York post has this world news exclusive based on a new report that has just come out, supposedly that says that Fuentes is following his apparent popularity is an illusion. The headline is, fuentes may be racist, but he relies on Nigeria and India to fuel his popularity. Online, says the white supremacist Nick Fuentes doesn't seem to be to mind benefiting from bot farms in Pakistan, India and Nigeria promoting his content. This is based on a report, a study supposedly from the network contagion research institute, which is a nonprofit that purports to study extremism on the Internet. Okay.

B (21:11)

You have some people on one side saying fuentes is entirely organic. It's a creed de cur from the voice of the people. He's the voice of his generation, and it's all totally organic. Then you have some people on the other side saying, no, the Fuentes phenomenon, it's completely fake. It's astroturfed. None of it is real. These are not the droids you're looking for. Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain. Just forget about it. The thing you think you're seeing is not true. Don't believe your lying eyes.

B (21:41)

I guess, as is often the case on these sorts of issues, I have the third and probably least popular view. But it's obviously the correct view, which is one. Yes, of course, there is a major foreign interest in exacerbating divisions within the ruling political coalition. The ruling political coalition. Now, believe it or not, mirabile dictu is on the right. The Republicans have a unified government. We have the White House, we have the House, we have the Senate, and we have the Supreme Court. And the President won the popular vote for the first time in 20 years as a Republican. So right now the conservative movement, the right wing coalition, is the ruling political movement. For now. We'll see how long that lasts. And so obviously forget about this moment. It is eternally true, it is perennially true, I should say that there is a foreign interest from our adversaries in trying to create divisions within the ruling coalition. Our adversaries have been doing this for many, many decades. And we do know that a lot of stuff on social media is bot farmed and yeah, sure, sure, sure. However, the thing that the people who say it's all an illusion, it's all fake and you're not really seeing what you're seeing. The thing that they get wrong is they don't understand how these foreign campaigns work.

B (23:01)

The way that a foreign interference campaign works is not by just inventing a problem. It's not by just creating popularity with a magic wand. The way that these campaigns work is by exploiting fissures that already exist. That's the only way they work. Think about the most prominent example of this in the last hundred years was the Soviet Union exploiting racial divisions in the 1960s. The Soviet Union was behind a lot of so called civil rights groups, a lot of the black power groups, a lot of the radical leftist groups. The Soviet Union was backing them. The reason it worked, however, is that there were those racial fissures and subsequent ideological fissures within America already. The Soviet Union might have been able to make them more pronounced, might have made them much worse, but they didn't invent them out of whole cloth. I think that's what's going on here. The people who say that this phenomenon is it's all bots, it's all just foreign ops, it's all just engagement farming. That is pure cope man, that is head in the sand copium to make people feel better. That is not true. Likewise, likewise the people who are saying that there is no foreign interference whatsoever. I mean, I think that's totally naive and ridiculous and contrary to everything we've seen from our adversaries in history. But let's get back to the first one that is COPE the reason that if there is such a foreign interference, opinion can work is because there are fissures already within the Republican Party, within the conservative coalition. Fissures on foreign policy, fissures on foreign alliances, fissures on economics, fissures, especially on migration. That is all real.

B (24:49)

And there are incentives for foreign actors to try to push it in ways that are gonna be deleterious to the ruling coalition. Yeah, of course. But those fissures already exist. That is what is being hashed out. People always talk about the conservative civil war. Perennially, there is a conservative civil war. So, you know, you get a hundred right wingers in a room, they will find the one thing they all disagree on and try to kill each other over it. However, sometimes it gets hotter, sometimes it gets colder. We're in one of those hotter periods right now. That is real.

B (25:18)

If it is the case. And again, I haven't read this NCRI study. I don't know if it's legit. I don't know if it's not legit. I don't know if it's somewhat legit. If it is the case that there is a serious foreign interference op right now, that is all the more reason to take seriously that there are real fissures on the right. They have to be hashed out. This is urgent. This is urgent. Especially as we get to the midterms and most especially when we look at 2028, because of what we were talking about at the top of the show, which is that American politics for 10 years has been about one thing, five letters, Trump. That's what it's been about.

B (25:53)

Trump is about to exit the stage. That is also why people are taking advantage right now. The fact that Charlie Kirk was assassinated is also why people are taking advantage right now. To exacerbate these divisions, to try to, in many ways, to try to undermine Trump, but to undermine this whole conservative coalition. It's jockeying for power, okay? And that is going to be hashed out. And we can say, no, it's not real.

C (26:17)

La, la, la, la, la.

B (26:18)

You can't. But give me a break.

B (26:21)

That will not redound to the benefit of the people who are ignoring it. Okay? Speaking of live streamers, a gunman supposedly reportedly, I should say, opened fire at Tim Pool's house. Not the first time Tim has been targeted with violence. We'll get into that in a second. First, I want to tell you about ExpressVPN. Go to expressvpn.com knowles. This episode is sponsored by ExpressVPN. You remember the promise of the Internet back in the 90s, it was gonna be this free open space where everyone was equal and no government was gonna totally control every aspect of your behavior. Corporations weren't gonna manipulate it. And, well, how'd that turn out? Not very well. Big tech and advertisers have taken over. Companies like Facebook are not just running ads. They're controlling what you see to influence how you think and how you vote. The Internet was gonna put you in control, give you the freedom to learn and explore on your own terms. Well, here's some good news. There is a way to take back that control, reclaim that sense of freedom with ExpressVPN. Every time you go online, your Internet provider is tracking everything you do, selling those data to advertisers and even government agencies. It is unsettling how much we're being watched and manipulated as one of many reasons to use ExpressVPN routes all your traffic through encrypted servers so no one can see what you're doing, not even your ISP. I love it. I've used ExpressVPN for like 8 or 9 years now. It's terrific. No logs policy. They couldn't give away or sell your information even if they wanted to. And they don't want to. They want to protect it. Right now you can get up to four extra months if you go to expressvpn.com knowles e x p r E-S-S vpn.com knowles for an extra four months today. Now, folks, in this episode of Michael and the Sharia Survivor, I sit down with author and human rights activist Sabatina James to hear her extraordinary and harrowing story. From being promised to marry her cousin as an infant, to escaping a forced marriage, to surviving the threat of an honor based death sentence under Sharia, Sabatina opens up about the brutality she faced and how she found freedom, Christianity and a new mission to rescue others still trapped in that system. Watch this quick teaser.

E (28:24)

I was born in a little village in Pakistan. In my case, I was promised to my cousin when I was born there in that living room of my parents, my mother, my father and a Muslim scholarly person and my cousin from Pakistan, they had invited him to come over. And you know how they did that? They adopted him as their son to.

B (28:48)

Get around the immigration. Yes.

E (28:50)

So he was adopted. The Muslim scholar, he folded his hands, said, you know what happened, happens in Islam when you leave the religion. And I knew what happens. It's the death penalty. Normally you get three days. That's Sharia law. You get three days to recant. It's torturing the convert so that he can become Muslim again. And if they don't, then you kill them. Please don't let us do what we have to do. Otherwise.

B (29:37)

Someone'S apparently trying to shoot Tim Pool. Tim reported this a couple days ago. Last night a vehicle approached our property and opened fire. No one was hurt. Our security team is reviewing the incident and will be relaying the report to appropriate law enforcement. This is the price we pay for speaking out against evil. My immediate thoughts is someone was trying to scare us. But we have a security gate and armed guards and it's possible this deterred something more serious.

B (30:02)

Scary stuff. I know that Tim has been swatted before. That's when people call in a fake police report and you know, get the SWAT team out there and it's to swat someone is really attempted murder. It's attempted murder by copy. When you file a false police report and you get people in there, maybe just kick in the door, start shooting. So I know that's happened to Tim before and this incident sounds like it was just some lunatic comes up and starts shooting. Why Tim? This is. A lot of people are asking, why Tim? Why does this keep happening? Tim? One, there's a geographic reason because he lives in the middle of nowhere. So when I do, I love doing Tim's show, but it's kind of annoying to get to because you have to fly into D.C. then you have to drive like 150 hours into the hills, have eyes into the boonies to get to his compound. So what that means is there aren't a ton of security cameras everywhere. What that means is there aren't a ton of cops everywhere. Makes him a little bit of an easier target. But I don't think that's all of it. Because the question why are people shooting at Tim Pool? Is similar to the question, why did a leftist murder Charlie Kirk? Why.

B (31:13)

Why target Charlie.

B (31:17)

When Charlie was murdered? A lot of us, look, we've all had death threats. We've all had death threats from a similar profile. You know, if. I mean, obviously, I guess the investigation's still going on or the prosecution of Charlie's alleged murderer. But, you know, he certainly fits the profile politically leftist into a bunch of weird sex stuff radicalized online. That is the. That is the type of person that has threatened to kill a lot of us before and in some cases has tried to. Why Charlie? He was the Most moderate of all of us. That was what a lot of people said. Why Charlie? He was the mainstream one, he was the nice one. He was the one who just wanted to talk it out. Why don't they go generally after the more provocative, angrier kind of guys? And it seems to me it's because Charlie was very, very effective. It was because Charlie was able to hold together a coalition. He wasn't always just picking fights at people and trying to be a shock jock and stir the pot. Charlie was actually building something and he built something very, very impressive that was a real threat to the left's political hegemony.

B (32:25)

Susie Wiles, the chief of staff to the President, said that Charlie made the winning difference in 2024. I think that's why they go after people like Charlie and in a different way. In his own way. Tim Pool is the same way. Cuz Tim is not some rock r right wing conservative. He's not some Catholic integralist or something like that. Tim was on the left and now he's kind of center right and he brings on people who have some liberal views and a lot of people who have conservative views and he kind of hashes it out and he speaks to people who are much more in the liberal, some people who are a little bit more on the left.

B (33:01)

The fact that, look, Charlie was a conservative through and through. He was, I think I used to say he was bred in a petri dish at the rnc. You know, he was really built tailor made for Republican politics. Tim is not that way. And I think that's a little jarring for a lot of us.

B (33:19)

They did achieve some similar ends. But that's a little jarring because what that means is it's really anyone in politics now, it's really anyone in politics is a target.

B (33:34)

Occasionally you get one of the really extreme guys, he'll be targeted. But like Richard Spencer gets punched in the face. Remember that? Seven, eight years ago, Richard Spencer comes out, yes, I am a white nationalist. Yes, identitarian. Someone punches him in the face and then the establishment media cheered that on. Cheering on political violence. Probably one of the ways we ended up in the situation we're in. President Trump very nearly murdered and then there was another attempt on his life. Charlie obviously successfully murdered Tim. Pool shots at his house. Could be anyone. Why?

B (34:07)

The reason that just about anyone in politics and especially the effective people are being targeted is because the whole political order is now seen as untrustworthy. Part of the reason that you're seeing the festering of a lot of much more Extreme views or alternately kind of conspiracy theory views. You can't trust anything. A neo gnostic understanding of politics, that everything you see isn't real, and you actually need to be initiated into the secret knowledge. And then you'll understand how the political order really works. Totally contrary to everything that your senses tell you. That the reason there's a rise in that is totally understandable. It's that the whole political order is seen as untrustworthy. It doesn't mean that the whole political order is untrustworthy. It can be the case that there are very bad people in the political order like Dr. Fauci, and there are very good people in the political order, and they're kind of duking it out and wrestling for control. It's a little bit more normal than some would have you believe, but it is certainly the case. The whole thing is seen as untrustworthy. And so these are the problems you're gonna get, and it's gonna get worse. It's like the old line about the conservative optimist and the conservative pessimist. The conservative pessimist says things can't get worse. The conservative optimist says, yes, they can, they can, and they will. The notion that a centrist live streamer in a beanie is having its house shot up on the reg. The notion that Charlie Kirk could be murdered for discussing basic stuff in a respectful way at a college campus, that bodes very, very poorly for the political order. And you are going to see the rise of very bad stuff. Real extremes. Senator Jasmine Crockett is on the table. You will, to quote Nikola Tesla, to paraphrase him, at least you will live to see horrors beyond your wildest imagination. How's that? How's that for a happy note? Look, we got more to get to because there is some good news. There is some good news in the admission of horror, and we're getting that out of the transgender industry this holiday season.

Pramila Jayapal's line, somalis built America? Oh, yes, of course. You remember. I think it was Mogatu Ahmed Bogadishu who famously said at Bunker Hill, don't shoot till you see the whites of their eyes.

B (36:49)

Don't shoot till you see the whites of de eyes. Gushi, Gushi, gushi. Han Solo. I remember that line. Certainly my second favorite comment yesterday was from someone who said, somalians built America. Somalians didn't even build Somalia.

B (37:04)

It's not a country. Somalia. It hasn't been a country in like 34 years. Yeah, but they built America, didn't they? It came on the Mayflower. Don't you remember that line of the Mayflower Compact? Gooshi gashi, gooshu. Okay, speaking of our untrustworthy political order, wpath. WPATH is the professional, supposedly professional association for transgender Health. And it is this organization that is the source of a lot of citations for the pro trans stuff in scientific literature and in governments. And WPATH is totally bogus. It is a bogus political, ideological activist organization that psyoped people into believing in transgenderism. So you'd have these doctors come out and say, hey, we gotta chop your kids genitals off, or what? And then the pro trans lobby said, no one's actually chopping kids genitals off. We'll get to that in a moment. They say, hey, we need to put your kid in affirmation therapy, and you gotta call your kid by the wrong pronouns. And you gotta put your kid maybe on puberty blockers and then maybe later on hormones, and then once he's an adult, maybe we can chop his genitals off. And the parents would say, you sure? They say, yeah, if you don't do that, he's gonna kill himself. Would you rather have a living daughter or a dead son? And then they would say, you sure? That seems kinda. I don't. That doesn't seem right to me. They say, no, it's in the science. Look at the science, look at the citations. And then when you look at the citations, it's this organization, wpath. Wpath, which previously argued that they're not actually performing the transgender surgeries on little kids, is all fake. This is all just totally settled science. Anyway, the Free Press has uncovered some clips, some footage from WPATH in which WPATH is admitting, yeah, you know what? Actually, I know we said otherwise, but yeah, we're performing the trans surgeries on kids.

F (38:58)

We are doing procedures here where we don't have outcome data.

F (39:02)

So for a vaginoplasty, for a phalloplasty, there is long term outcome data of what? The pros, the cons, the Psychological impact, the sexual functioning impact is for these newer procedures, we don't have that outcome. So unless you want to go to individual ethics boards in each hospital to get ethics permission to do those surgeries because they're on the edge of the field of medicine, you need to have a mechanism around you to support you. Otherwise you could be vulnerable.

A (39:30)

Because I feel like we're all just winging it, you know, which is okay, you're winging it too, but maybe we can just like wing it together, you know, like publicly in a space where we can share the ideas of how we're winging it.

B (39:44)

So this not only do they admit, I encourage you all to check out the. To check out the excellent article from the pre press. We're all just winging it. What the gender doctors say in private and footage obtained exclusively by the Free Press. Gender doctors acknowledge they perform life altering procedures on vulnerable youth with no supportive evidence and they're proud of it. Not only are they saying, yeah, these young people are having this stuff done, they're coming out. They're saying, we don't have any evidence that it works. And actually, as I've mentioned before in debates and speeches, in 2019 we got the largest data set ever on the transgender procedures, surgical and hormonal. And there was an analysis that looked at the outcomes. Did it improve? Anxiety, depression, suicidality? Largest data set we have on this showed there is no evidence that it improved the outcomes on any of those fronts. Furthermore, there is evidence that the trans procedures made anxiety worse. It actually left the patients worse off than they were before they started. So there's no evidence that any of this stuff works. And previously when a conservative would say that, the libs would say, no. Well, you gotta look at the science. You gotta look at the science, point to the science. And when they talk about the science, they're talking about wpath. They're talking about the most prominent pro trans organization in the world. What does WPATH say? We are doing procedures here where we don't have outcome data. So unless you want to go to individual ethics boards in each hospital to get ethics permission to do those surgeries because they're on the edge of the field of medicine, which they obviously should do. That's why ethics boards exist in the first place. But you obviously should. They say, look, well look, unless we want to have to like deal with ethics, we need to have a mechanism to support you. Otherwise you can't do these ridiculous procedures that have no evidence for them. Then another member stands up, says, feel like we're all just winging it, you know. And then what? The doctor's on the panel and he goes, yeah, he raises his hands. Uh huh. Yeah, that's right. We're winging it. I feel like we're winging it. Which is okay, you're winging it too. And maybe we can just wing it together. This article, it goes on to talk about nullification surgery for teenagers. Do you know what nullification surgery is? It's when a teenager comes, an 18 year old comes in and says, I'm asexual. I'm not transsexual. I'm not pansexual. I'm not the opposite sex. I'm asexual. And I want you to cut off my genitals and not replace them with anything. Not even create the simulacrum of the opposite sex's genitals. Just, I wanna look like a Barbie doll.

B (42:11)

And they'll do it. The winginate doctors will do it. The winging it. Doctors who don't talk to the ethics boards, they'll do it.

B (42:21)

I mention all of this not to rehash the trans issue. We won the trans issue. That's yesterday's news. It was good. Took a long time to win it. You know, some of us were fighting that issue for a long time. Matt Walsh made a whole movie about it. But the reason I bring it up is the same reason I brought up. I bring up the COVID backs. The whole reason I bring up a lot of these issues that seemed like they were settled five years ago. Because you never get credit for being right. You were right. You were right about transgenderism. You were right about the whole thing. You. Not just me, not just Matt Walsh, not just some other podcaster or writer or thinker or. Not just. You were right because you knew that it was fake. You knew it was ridiculous. You knew it didn't really help people. You knew it had to be eradicated from public life entirely. You knew that they were performing the trans surgeries on young people. You knew that there was no evidence for it. You knew that the supposedly scientific institutions that were always being cited were full of it. And you were called an idiot the whole time. And you were right about everything. You were right about everything. Okay, Real important stuff going on, folks. Speaking of medicine, the HHS is getting rid of the Hep B vaccine for newborns. There's this thing now, you gotta. The hhs. The government's been trying to get you to shoot up your newborn with a hepatitis B vaccine. I remember I said, hey, you know, I don't think my newborn is gonna go hit any brothels or, like, shoot up heroin anytime soon. Why does he need a hep B vacc?

B (43:54)

And the actual answer was, well, she tells my wife. Well, actually, I mean, your husband might have cheated on you. Excuse me. What? Hold on. What? Yeah, well, we mandate it for all children or we recommend it for all children in America, because you never know if your husband is an adulterer.

F (44:12)

What?

B (44:14)

So we'll get to that. They just flipped on that marvelous presidential message yesterday on the Feast of the Immaculate Conception. Huge, huge Supreme Court arguments over potentially expanding presidential power, which would be a good thing. The liberals and the libertarians totally wrong on that. And the Islamic Society of Philly wants to chop off your body parts. There's so much I want to talk about. Why can't this show be twice as long? Why? Why does the Daily Wire demand that I truncate my show and limit my remarks?

B (44:43)

I'm furious about it, but I have to go. I have to go to the Membrum Segmentum because it's Teehee Tuesday. The rest of the show continues now. Such a tease. We'll talk about those stories tomorrow. Maybe go to dailywire.com, use code KNOWLES, get two months free on all annual plans.

B (45:11)

All of this is an illusion, an echo, a voice that has died.

B (45:17)

And soon that echo will cease.

G (45:30)

They say that Merlin is mad.

G (45:37)

They say he was a king and died.

G (45:41)

The son of a princess of lost Atlantis. They say the future and the past are known to him. That the fire and the wind tell him their secrets. That the magic of the hill folk and druids come forth at his easy command.

G (45:59)

They say he slew hundreds. Hundreds, do you hear?

D (46:04)

At the.

G (46:05)

The world burned and trembled at his wrath.

C (46:11)

The Merlin died long before you and I were born.

G (46:17)

Merlin. Emris has returned to the land of the living.

C (46:22)

Vortigan is gone. Rome is gone. The Saxon is here.

G (46:29)

Saxon Hengiston, assemble the greatest war host ever seen in the island of the Mighty. And before the summer is through, he means to take the throne.

G (46:38)

And he will have it if we are too busy squabbling amongst ourselves to take up arms against him. Here is your hope. A king will arise to hold all Britain in his hand. A high king who will be the wonder of the world.

B (46:54)

You.

C (46:57)

To a future of peace.

C (47:01)

There'll be no peace in these lands till we are all dust. Men of the island of the Mighty, you stand together.

C (47:10)

You stand as Britons. You stand as warned. Ganta, go.

G (47:17)

Great darkness is falling upon this land.

G (47:21)

These brothers, is our only hope to stand against it.

C (47:26)

Not our only hope.

G (47:28)

They say Merlin slew 17 men with his own hands. Like Cathay, he slew 500.

C (47:37)

No man is capable of such a thing. Immortal Man.

B (47:52)

Limu Gameo and Doug.

C (47:54)

Here we have the Limu Emu in its natural habitat, helping people customize their car insurance and save hundreds with Liberty Mutual. Fascinating. It's accompanied by his natural ally, Doug.

B (48:09)

Uh, Limu is that guy with the binoculars watching us?

C (48:12)

Cut the camera. They see us.
