Okay, so from that history lesson, Senator Cruz, obviously very intelligent, very well educated guy. From that little history lesson, Gavin Newsom, the Patrick Bateman of California, comes away and he says, Ted Cruz's calling a dyslexic person illiterate is a new low, even for him. Apparently Gavin Newsom's dyslexic. I didn't know that. But apparently he's dyslexic. That's not the central problem for Newsom, though, because Senator Cruz did not call Gavin Newsom illiterate. He called him historically illiterate. Which means that Gavin Newsom doesn't know history. Gavin Newsom seems to think that Ted Cruz called him literally illiterate, which would mean that he can't read, which might be true. It might be true that Gavin Newsom can't read. I don't know. I haven't seen a lot of evidence that he can read. So maybe that's true as well. But that was news to us. In any case, what we now know for certain is, is that Gavin Newsom is semantically illiterate, meaning not only does he not read, he doesn't understand the meaning of words. He doesn't understand what the phrase historically illiterate means. And you can be illiterate, you can be literally illiterate and still understand the meaning of historically illiterate, as long as you're not semantically illiterate, which Gavin Newsom clearly is Very, very silly. However, have to point out this is a smart move for Newsom. I don't know whether or not Newsom's really dyslexic. However, it's a smart move for him to claim to be dyslexic in any case, because he needs an excuse and he needs virtue points. He needs some kind of handicap. Gavin Newsom is a good looking, smooth talking, rich white guy with a good looking wife and a beautiful family. That's bad if you're a Democrat. That's like five marks against you if you're a Democrat. That would have been good 25 years ago, but it's bad now. Gavin Newsom physically is everything the Democrats say that they hate. So he needs some kind of handicap. I think this is why a lot of Zoomer guys just decided they were gay. I think this is why you see LGBT identity skyrocketing. Zoomer women did this as well. And there are very interesting studies on this. A lot of Zoomer women would claim to be bisexual, even though they basically never had any romantic relationships with women. They would just say that in order to claim some kind of handicap, some kind of victim status at a time when that carried a lot of social currency on the left. So I think you're seeing the same thing here. I don't know if he's dyslexic or not, but even if he's not, it would make sense that he would claim that. He's not gonna claim to be gay. He's got a very good looking wife. He's not going to claim to, I don't know, black or something, or Hispanic or. That's not gonna Fly. He can't claim to be some minority religion. I don't know that he has any religion really at all. But he's not gonna put on a hijab or something. He's not gonna put on the kefiyeh. So what can he claim? Okay, he claims he's got this intellectual disability which gives him the victim points. And it also will provide an excuse because I'm not saying Gavin Newsom's a total idiot. I don't think he is. But he ain't a Rhodes scholar. He's not the sharpest tool in the shed. And if J.D. vance is the presumptive nominee for the Republicans, which he is, J.D. vance is a very intelligent guy. So Newsom, I think, is already looking down the line and he's saying, okay, I'm gonna have to compete against J.D. vance, who's probably two to four standard deviations in IQ above me. I need to set expectations low right now. In some ways, he's doing what J.D. vance does. The fact that the Vice President has embraced the silly JD meme that makes him into this, you know, like, giant, almost, I don't know, like Saxon king, like figure. You know, this like, big, long haired, kind of, you know, just torrent of force and irrationality. The JD Meme is very, very funny. But part of the reason that I think it's smart that the Vice President has embraced that is that it manages expectations. The JD Meme is fat. JD Vance is relatively pretty thin, but the meme is fat. So then when you see him, he looks thinner. The JD Meme, depending on which meme you're looking at, is short. JD Is very tall. So you have this expectation that he'll be short when you see him in real life, he's quite tall. Well, Gavin Newsom is kind of doing the same thing here with the dyslexic bit. He's trying to set expectations low. Joe Biden actually managed this pretty well. And he's setting expectations low for a more practical reason than, say, the Vice President, which is that Newsom doesn't really have it. He's all sizzle, no steak. Gavin Newsom, he kind of looks the part and he's kind of a smooth talker, but there's not very much substance there at all. This is why he doesn't know what he believes. It's why he has to keep swinging back and forth from he's the radical leftist calling Stephen Miller a fascist, doing gay weddings in San Francisco 20 years ago. But then, on the other hand, he's the Moderate, trying to be friends with Charlie Kirk and Steve Bannon. He doesn't know what he wants, he doesn't know what he believes. He's going to moderate those expectations. It means he's still a pretty good candidate for the Dems as of now, albeit one who is illiterate in many, many ways. Okay, speaking of the Democrats strategy here, they have admitted what their strategy is in the midterms and it's a pretty scary one. Republicans need to pay attention to it. We will get to that momentarily. First, I wanna tell you about Policygenius. Go to policygenius.com knowles Life happens gradually. Most of the time.

A lot of people don't even, you know, this election just happened in Virginia. A lot of people don't even pay attention to it. They should. Abigail Spanberger is the Democrat strategy for the midterms. In 2028, Abigail Spanberger ran as a moderate for governor of Virginia. Now five seconds later, she's coming out decrying President Trump's immigration policy as horrifying. And here's why. In what we've seen recently, the really, I think, horrifying thing is that now under the new administration or the Trump administration, where every cross into the United States is considered a criminal act. It's an amazing statement from a governor of any party who ran in any way. She says it is horrifying that under the Trump administration, any illegal entry into the United States is considered a criminal act. That's not a specific policy of the Trump administration. That is a matter of federal law that was passed by the Congress. That has been federal law for many decades now. It's there in the meaning of the word illegal. When an illegal alien does the thing that distinguishes him as an illegal alien, that is in fact illegal. Not just because President Trump says so. Cause federal law says so. And so what she is admitting here when she says she is horrified by President Trump's actually applying the law is she's saying she's horrified by the law. She's saying that she is lawless. This is the moderate Democrat who won in Virginia. And the Democrats are schizophrenic on this point. Here's Hillary Clinton at the Munich Security Conference just a few days ago on stage, trotting out a line that you're gonna hear from Democrats a lot as the midterms approach. As people realize the Democrats are too extreme, they're gonna be trotting out this line to try to make them seem moderate. And the line is that, you know, actually Clinton and Obama deported just as many people, maybe more people as Donald Trump. More people were deported under my husband and Barack Obama without killing American citizens and without putting children into detention camps than were in the first Trump term or this first year of Trump's second term. So I think it's important to look, okay, more. Did you know, actually, actually Obama and Clinton deported more people than Trump. Okay, that isn't true. And I love. She says, and they didn't put them into camps and cages. Obama infamously built the cages that the left wing media would later come to blame on President Trump. These supposed cages for detaining migrants and their children. But let me ask a more basic question. Is it good to deport the illegals? Is it good? Should we deport the illegal aliens? I asked this question to one of my debate opponents on bar fight. We have another bar fight shooting tonight. But I asked this on one of the last bar fights, I said, hey. He was trying to trot out these kind of lines. I said, hey, should we deport these guys? Should we deport the illegal aliens? And he wouldn't give a straight answer. I would love to ask Hillary Clinton that question. I would love to ask any Democrat who trots out this line, which you're gonna hear ad nauseam as the midterms approach. You know, actually, believe it or not, Obama and Clinton deported more people than Trump. Oh, okay, so you're saying it's good to deport the illegals? Well, I never. Hold on, hold on, hold on. You're saying you're admiring Obama and Clinton. You are attempting to attack Donald Trump on the grounds not that he's deporting the illegals, but that he's not deporting enough, and that Clinton and Obama and the Democrats are actually even better at deporting illegals than Trump, which isn't true, but let's just go with it for a second. So great. We have a rare area of bipartisan common ground. We should deport more illegals, right? It's good to deport the illegals, right? Well, well, well, I didn't really. Oh, so what you're saying here is totally incoherent. This is contraceptive speech. It is speech that is not designed to convey any kind of truth. It is speech merely designed for pleasure and convenience. What you're saying is out of one side of your mouth when you're talking to the liberals. You're saying we would never deport these people. No human being is illegal. No one's illegal on stolen land. We need a pathway to citizenship. They're all dreamers. They're not even illegal. They're actually American Americans, albeit undocumented Americans, and we need to get them documents. And then out of the other side of your mouth when you're talking to the normal people, not the radical open borders leftists, but just like any normal person in the center, center left on the right, obviously you're saying actually we're even better at deporting people. So which is it? Is deporting people good or not? I'll be more specific. Is deporting the illegal aliens good or bad? Anytime any Democrat trots out this ridiculous campaign line, you don't even need to challenge them on the premise. The premise is wrong too. But you don't even have to challenge them on the premise. Just ask them what the implication is. Okay, so you're saying it's good we should deport more illegals. Well, well, well, I never said. Okay, all right, nevermind then. The problem that these people have is that Americans understand the Democrats are too extreme. You don't have to take my word for it. CNN has admitted this. The percentage of Americans who say that the Democrats are too extreme has surged Democratic Base. Right. But what about all Americans?
