Finding Emily Only in cinemas May 22nd Book tickets now You know how much I hate to say I told you so Just shortly after I predicted yesterday that this would happen I ran fired 15 missiles at the United Arab Emirates Prompting the United States to sink seven Iranian boats In shrodinger's Strait of Hormuz In a volley that media outlets report is quote Threatening of the ceasefire Now Despite my accurate prediction, I am no military expert and yet It seems to me that when both sides of a conflict Start firing on each other again The ceasefire is probably over I don't know that much about the military But I do know about the English language We will get into why the war can't end Then Democrats pin their midterm election hopes on an oyster farmer with a Nazi tattoo Barack Obama embraces his inner Darth Vader on May the 4th And Eric Swalwell teaches us all a lesson On the intellectual effects of sin For a series of very, very gross Snapchat videos I'm Michael Knowles, this is the Michael Knowles Show Welcome back to the show After years of being told that political polarization is being driven by men Men becoming more right wing Becoming toxic incel men It turns out that we

I'll have a debate with Mehdi Hassan At the Dartmouth political union over President Trump and the constitutionality Of his administration very much looking forward to it So because of that because the situation in Iran is changing by the second not even by the hour Because of that By the time that this airs the situation will probably have changed another 150 times but Last we spoke yesterday The ceasefire remained in place the Strait of Hormuz was closed It was doubly closed and the United States said that it would help guide ships through the Strait of Hormuz Which I pointed out would lead Iran to fire missiles because Iran cannot allow the United States to Expose them as being weak that Iran has played the most significant card It's got even if Iran had a nuclear weapon closing the Strait is the most powerful weapon at their disposal So they played that card and they can't back down now Likewise the United States by using President Trump's Double reverse uno card doing a blockade of the blockade the United States can't really back down either because If we do this will be akin to when the British and the French were exposed as being weak in the Suez crisis Which marked the beginning of the end of of Britain and France's major global powers So we're just in this stalemate ceasefire But everyone kind of wants the ceasefire because no one really wants the war Iran militarily could be absolutely Blown to the stone age and then you'd have major destabilization in the region Uh, Likewise the United States doesn't want to get bogged down in a land war there And so everyone's just holding on to a ceasefire even as the missiles are flying However It was probably ever thus so it seems to me this breaks the ceasefire whether or not at this very moment We we acknowledge that breaking the ceasefire and so the two options As I've been predicting from the beginning are a deal that we probably don't want Or a ground invasion that we definitely don't want And before everybody rushes to blame Trump Which of course everyone wants to do in this moment I'm reminded of the very scientific twitter poll I took eight months ago nine months ago now Which was should the united states allow Iran to get a nuclear weapon 90% said no should the united states go to war with Iran 90% said no Okay, you see the brutal position that the president is in so the options I suspect are a deal that we don't want or or a ground invasion which would be politically Devastating even amid lots of other good news for the Trump administration But the American public the right wing base would not want it. So what do we do here? Well in the column of Negotiating getting a deal Assuming you don't want a ground invasion and a 10-year occupation of Iran One point that I I haven't seen anyone really address is that In these kinds of moments Presidents not just past presidents, but presidents who are particularly known for their strength Have been restrained have sometimes backed off a little bit One of the clearest examples would be Truman Truman who was a pretty tough guy, you know the only Leader ever to drop nuclear weapons Truman when he was His advisors were pressing him to invade china and to expand the korean war He didn't he didn't do that Dwight Eisenhower Eisenhower real tough guy helped win world war two Eisenhower when he was pushed to get deeply involved in Vietnam There were already some american military advisors over there But when when he was pushed to get deeply involved He didn't he pulled back clearest example probably is ronald reagan and that's a direct parallel here because this this example involves iran When iran's proxies hit the bay root barracks in 1983 killing over 200 troops us troops Ronald Reagan did not retaliate did not launch a ground invasion of iran actually pulled the troops out of lebanon so That's not satisfying. We don't like that. We certainly could launch a ground invasion of iran We could overthrow the regime that way we could do it. We're the global hegemon We're still basically the only people on earth who can project power But assuming that that is politically basically impossible something that people really don't want Uh, there isn't an opportunity here for a negotiated settlement even if it's a bad deal Trump doesn't need to lose his whole legacy on it and actually plenty of very strong presidents have done something like that No one's gonna want to hear this no one's gonna want to hear either of those options But from before the war began as the war was beginning and lots of people were celebrating I was a little more restrained and as the war has continued. I've just pointed out it's it's difficult to see A clean win here. It's hard to see that 88 minute venezuela win And so we might be in a situation where you have to deal with a deal that that you don't really want But can someone tell me the alternative? I don't know all the people who are banging the drums for war saying no, we just need to go in and finish the job and top of the regime okay, fine, I don't like the iranian regime, but Do you do you really think an extended? Occupation of iran is going to pan out once you get rid of the malas. Do we really see a path forward on which party is going to take over? and make sure that the The end result we get isn't worse than what we started with. I don't totally see it I don't totally see that So whatever remains to be seen, you know not to be flippant about it, but we're in schrodinger straight here. So every Every time you observe what's going on in this rate of hormones. It seems like things have changed Okay, now some good news for the administration Despite all the dumerism all the blackpilling All the talk the trump's coalition is totally dead here We have no less a liberal authority than cnn pointing out the president trump's approval among black voters That is to say the group that is most solidly Repped by the democrat party the group that republicans have had the toughest Time with over the years and a group that trump made gains with in his recent election Black voters are sticking with trump Look trump's approval among african americans at this point in term one. He was at 12 percent You know, he's been losing ground with a lot of him. He's gaining. He's gaining ground with african americans He's up to 16 at this point. Do you see this as part of a bigger trend? I see this as absolutely part of a bigger trend Donald trump's republican party is absolutely gaining ground not just him gaining in terms of his approval rating But look at the party id margin kate because this to me was absolutely stunning Look at this party id margin among african americans at this point in trump term number one democrats had a 63 point advantage That is absolutely fallen. Look at where it is now a double digit shift away Democrats of course still have the advantage, but it's a 12 point shift to the republican party Those are real numbers. I mean that is a major shift Uh, you see trump claiming more of the black vote and you say well, look, it's only 12 percent. Yeah, it's only 12 percent But when you only need to chip away three or four points to give yourself popular vote victories All of a sudden that little shift matters a whole lot and then the party id Yes, most black voters identify as democrats, but if you can chip that all the way down from 63 down to the low fifties Or 50 or maybe it keeps going that is massive. You don't need to win 90 of the black vote And the trump coalition is a weird coalition I was speaking to my friend bradley devlin about this yesterday the trump coalition is bigger than the conservative movement The people in the think tanks and on the podcasts and the the nerds and the policy wonks They like to talk about the conservative movement We view ourselves many of you listening view yourself as being part of the conservative movement The reality is the trump coalition is bigger than the conservative movement. The conservative movement is probably 20 percent of the country It while the conservative movement is much smaller than that, but the people who feel represented by the conservative movement Probably 20 of the country the trump movement is 50 of the country Very important to keep this all in mind things Are going quite well for the trump coalition. We haven't even talked about the jobs numbers yet We'll get to that and we'll get to the biggest silver lining looking at the midterms. I'm not going to sugarcoat it Things look pretty bad, but there is a major silver lining For the republicans that very few people talk about first though. I want to tell you about pre-born Go to pre-born.com slash nolls canada w l e s mother's day is a special time It's when families come together and sometimes this year big news Like the moment someone stands up and says next year we're going to have a new mom in the family Those are very joyful moments for some women They are facing an unwanted pregnancy and excitement is not quite the emotion that they feel they feel alone And unsure of what to do that is where a sponsor pre-born comes in pre-born provides free ultrasounds to women in those situations and it turns out When a woman can see her baby and hear the heartbeat she is much more likely to choose life It makes the situation real and it helps her move forward with confidence I personally support this organization.

Well, now you now you can see it I sat down with matt after we were in Idaho last week. We were going to get a cigar afterward. Anyway, I said, okay I posted I said for the next 45 minutes matt and I are having a cigar solving all the world's problems. What should we cover? Here's what happened Why you two is both some b itch as white boys that don't know no mother f and gang signs I mean, this is the kind of thing you get. I mean, this this is why it's a great idea to Surrender the programming of your show over to x commentary. We're gonna get gonna get from them Oh, that's what you're doing. That's like gangsta Uh modern mccarthy says I need to hear you guys debate Now i'm looking at it. You gotta say it i'm looking at it right now I Watch full video right now on the michael and all's youtube channel get the ad free version with even more content at daily wire plus We need we need some white pills here folks because all you get is doom and gloom and all these people who realize republicans by historical accounts should lose the midterms and You know people are kind of mixed on the iran war and everyone everyone's a critic and everyone wants more deportations and it's all this All this despair man, and that's not me. I'm a glass half full kind of guy and there are a lot of there are a lot of good signs In politics and in the economy for instance here is cnbc Basically dancing on the desk over president trump's jobs numbers initial jobless claims hitting the wires at 189 thousand 189 thousand wow that that is truly incredible. We're looking at levels truly that we probably haven't seen since the late 60s this is very very incredible and continuing claims 1 million 785 thousand that would be the least going back to August of the summer of 24 actually April of 24 So all listen all pretty good stuff obviously during the first year We had record high stock market all the rest of it which drives home even to me Let me go back to being a doomer again. It drives home to me that the real hiccup here Is the iran war which the president himself has said he said it's a digression that he had to do for National security for the good of the world. You can't let this maniac regime get a nuclear weapon We've been kind of fighting him for 47 years. I understand all the arguments But if that's your weak point right now if that's your vulnerability Then the key is you you have to move off it as quickly as possible with as much of a satisfactory resolution as you can get It's a basic rule of politics when the debate you're in does not favor you when the issue you're discussing does not favor you Change issues change the terms of the debate and there's a lot of good fodder for republicans right now especially after the supreme court victory in louisiana versus calle which struck down democrats racist jerrymandering and Could give republicans an additional half dozen seats in in the midterms depending on how quickly the republican governors can move then Look at what the democrats are pinning their hopes on this is one of my favorite headlines. I've ever read this comes from yahu news reporting from afp Could oyster farmer with a nazi tattoo scandal be democrats new champion? Could it could an oyster farmer with a nazi tattoo be the democrats new champion? They are referring To this guy who is running in main. He's running for the main senate seat His name is grand platner and he's got a nazi tattoo now You're probably having deja vu and you're saying hold on haven't I heard about a nazi tattoo before? Yes, you have You heard democrats cook up a non-traverse You heard democrats make up a bunch of nonsense about pete hegseth because pete has a lot of tattoos Because he's a gigachat military veteran and on his chest He has a tattoo of the jerusalem cross the jerusalem cross is a medieval christian symbol It is on the the floor of the national cathedral in washington dc This is a very very mainstream christian symbol and it's awesome And then he also has tattoos that say deus volt. This was the call of the crusades A unifying message of christendom that has endured for almost a thousand years He also has a tattoo of an american flag and we the people in the font from the constitution And so he has these very basic Very traditional christian symbols and symbols of american patriotism So of course the dems go crazy and they say that if you're a christian or an american you're basically a nazi The nazis who were neither christian nor americans. I should note They say that's awful. Those tattoos are disqualifying Meanwhile, they are now running a senate candidate in main who has a literal nazi tattoo that he has since tried to cover up But he is an oyster farmer nazi tattoo and he might very well be the democrats Best hope this guy is a socialist. He runs on abolishing ice. Don't forget trump won the popular vote He appealed as a mainstream majority political issue on mass deportations This guy wants to abolish ice furthermore this democrat candidate wants to prosecute ice agents Furthermore this democrat senate candidate is protrans furthermore even it's like number four on the list is oh Yeah, he also has a nazi tattoo And he is one of the most exciting democrat candidates right now no matter how unpopular republicans are The silver lining is democrats are less popular today In the year of our lord 2026 democrats are less popular. I was at that tpusa event with matt in i'dahoed last week and Some people came up to ask questions and they were going off about how disappointed they are in the republican party. They said What's the best argument to vote for republicans and don't just tell me that it's so the democrats don't get into power And matt cuts them off says well, I just I have to you can't tell me what to say I have to tell you it's if if the argument were only to keep the democrats from power that would be enough and that is true And most americans think that by the way Most americans because the dems want to chop up your kids. They want to well Kill them through abortion and then chop them up through castration and then also Kill all of us because they support political violence in a very large degree These guys cannot feel to good candidate. It just isn't happening right now So look we we have a shot at the midterms You just have to take care of the one issue that is not very popular and then focus on All of the good stuff now you want to talk about bad optics Barack Obama posted a video with mar camel mar camel whose only notable film role came in the mid 1970s This was outside of Barack Obama's new presidential center, which looks like a hunk of ugly unfinished rock brutalist trash and he used the opportunity of may the fourth to post one of the cringiest videos that Uh a democrat has posted in at least several days that we'll get to erics wall bills videos soon Happy star wars day from the obama presidential center. I have a very good feeling about this Mark, I am glad you are here. I want to tell you about someone Okay, a young person born into ordinary circumstances, but restless. I'm satisfied A kid with big dreams a bit of a rebel I like where this is going. They join a scrappy group of underdogs and set out to change things By blowing up a giant space laser Mark, this is not about you as wonderful as you are. Oh my goodness. This is about them This isn't a monument to my legacy. It's a gateway to yours The obama presidential center is much more than a museum. It is an entire campus built to empower you A place to come together get inspired and become a force For change See what I did there strong the dad jokes are oh my god the whole thing even the jokes about the jokes are just just Ugh So you think look you say republicans are out of touch. They are out of touch. They're always yes republicans are always out of touch Conservatives aren't cool every time conservatives try to be cool. It's it's lame and yeah, it's true but the best the democrats have right now is a washed up actor from the 1970s And what's crazy is The pick is totally fitting the I don't think they intended for it to be fitting but To to really push the barack obama presidential center on May the fourth with the star wars guy is so fitting because the presidential center itself Looks like an imperial cruiser from star wars. It looks like Darth Vader architecture That's not a stretch. Just look at it. It is it is ugly and gray and drab and soul-crossing and depressing Why is this there are so many architectural styles to pick from How about bozar like uh grand central station? How about art deco like the empire state building? How about neoclassical like the nice buildings in washington dc? Why would barack obama pick the ugliest form of architecture that has ever existed? The answer is because it fits his political vision when I look at the obama center This is not just being frivolous. This is not just being trivial. This actually matters for politics matters for one's soul in fact When you look at the obama presidential center, you actually do think of like the death star or some ugly imperial cruiser It's like the death star but uglier Or the other thing I thought of was musilini's facade on the palazzo uh broski Do you ever see this picture is this picture of a big scary caricature version of musilini's face with the fridges see see see see yes an italian. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes all over it Covering up actually what is beautiful architecture, but to try to make it look drab That's the fascia style think about communist architecture all those old soviet block countries. There's a building in yugoslavia It's so powerfully ugly. It also looks like Something out of star wars. It looks like one of the imperial bad guy ships in star wars And all of it all of that brutalism why? Is that just a coincidence? Am I just drawing uh an unfair comparison? No, it It's all of a piece there's a reason for that because the Hardcore leftist architecture is all functionalist It's as form follows function. It's not supposed to be adorned and beautiful. It's not supposed to have ornamentation That's all bourgeois at or or aristocratic Or superfluous and all that money should just be spent on the proletariat or something even though it never is So it's intentionally ugly Because it's promoting radical equality that is the idea behind the kind of communist brutalism And that is what you're getting out of the out of the obama presidential library because that is the vision of the modern american left One it is indistinguishable from communism many of the leading democrat candidates are openly socialist like that wacko up in main But so many of them the leading democrat commentators guys like a san piker are openly socialist or communist They want this They get a kick out of it And it follows the ideology which is radically egalitarian Radically functionalist denying of human spirit purely materialist and it's gross and the reality is You can judge a book by its cover most of the time not all of the time But a lot of the time prejudices are right stereotypes are all true and you can judge a book by its cover Don't blame me for that conclusion blame barack obama blame reality now speaking of Unpleasant videos eric swalwell. He was the former future governor of california After he was the former future president of the united states. He ran for president as a democrat He was in congress now. He says he's going to resign from congress because he got caught up in illegal scandal a residency scandal a financial scandal and then a sex scandal eric swalwell With his antics on snapchat grown man on snapchat red flag Eric swalwell is teaching us a classic lesson about theology and moral philosophy. We'll get to that momentarily first though I want to tell you about pure talk. We go to pure talk.com slash nolls kina w l e s pink 70 80 even 90 dollars a month to the big wireless companies for unlimited data It's not just expensive.

That is pure talk.com slash nolls switch to my wireless company america's wireless company pure talk Eric swalwell I'm not playing the videos. Maybe we have a picture of them. You can put a That all the pictures look goofy. It gets the message across. I'm not playing the videos Eric swalwell reportedly has been accused by multiple women of sending sexual messages including videos of him Doing things by himself while in a state of undress. This is a family show. I'm trying to speak clinically here He joined snapchat because he said he wanted to restore faith in democracy And then he immediately started DMing women on snapchat pictures of him Committing gravely immoral and beyond morality just really gross Flabby yucky gross acts by himself This is according to a bombshell report from sunday cnn is reporting on this Swalwell has been accused of rape all sorts of non consensual encounters All sorts of women and according to cnn He sent nude photos of himself and videos of himself doing this gross thing Showing his face and naked body. So according to cnn These photos were saved by multiple women and Leave no nothing to the imagination Including his identity because his face was in the videos too. So I want you for a moment If you have not yet tossed your cookies if you have been able to keep your breakfast or your lunch down I want you for a moment To not think about the moral Degradation The depravity don't think about the morality of it for a second. Just think about How Stupid this was this guy This is what boggles the mind to me I get how people do immoral things because there's temptation and it's a fallen world and we all do immoral things and we all sin I get that But think about the stupidity this guy is in congress. He has already run for president He is running for governor in a crowded field of democrats Some of whom have a lot of money And this guy says, you know what I'm gonna do I'm gonna send Nude photos of myself and photos doing gross stuff to women That's a good idea. And I'm specifically gonna send photos That no woman has ever wanted even one single time There's the stupidity of a man who is in a very public position Leaving himself this huge vulnerability Creating massive massive liability for himself But then furthermore the thing he is sending to the women which I suppose is to arouse the women Is something that has never aroused a single woman even one time When ladies Send pictures or videos of themselves in a state of undress to men that Can arouse men but men and women are different and they relate to sex differently and this guy the layers of Stupidity that you have to get through To get to the point of doing what swall well did are astounding And they teach us an important lesson about morality and anthropology namely Sin darkens the intellect Get I don't care if you're not Religious at all. I do care but for the moment put that aside You know, I'm not saying you have to be religious. Well, I am I'm saying that too. You should be religious But hey, okay, you get the point. I'm trying to say Forget the morality side for a second Swallwell's not that dumb Swallwell wasn't born that dumb when swallwell first ran for office. He was a pretty impressive politician He got into politics at a young age. He won a lot of elections. He somehow semi-plausibly ran for president He didn't start out that dumb but he did the dumbest things that politicians could possibly do the sort of thing that takes down Every politician who gets taken down and he did it to the nth degree. Why did he do that? Did he did he hit himself in the head with a hammer? Was he looks maxing? No, I don't think he was looks maxing It's because he was finding himself in habits and cycles of sin and sin not only corrupt your soul Sin not only can lead you to perdition sin not only can Uh, uh lead you to attempt to sever a relationship of grace using your free will and abusing your free will sin makes you stupid Makes you do really stupid stuff And so at a certain level I hope that the reason you don't sin is because you love god And I hope that the reason that you cultivate habits of virtue and sanctity is because you want to be with god forever and serve him in this life but Just did a really basic really even secular level When you sin you're gonna get dumb and you're gonna do dumb stuff like eric swalwell did and it's gonna screw up your life a lot Let it be a word of caution Let it be a word of caution because I I bet everyone listening right now I bet every person walking the earth knows this can think ah, why did I do that stupid thing? Man? I was really angry It's really wrathful or lustful or prideful or gluttonous or slothful or whatever. Don't don't do it Don't Don't allow yourself to be the next erics wall. Well now speaking of women We've heard so much in recent years about how men Are polarizing young men are moving to the right. I guess that's kind of true. Yeah men are moving to the right Trump really counted on young men in particular for his political coalition 2024 There the millennial soy has given way to the right to the zoomer reactionary that has happened But women Have moved to the left more than the men have moved to the right The tale of political polarization is not one of the incel misogynist It is a tale of liberal women. That's notable and I think Reasonable people who don't believe the headlines probably saw this coming Because well for instance when when charlie kerrk was assassinated I've made this point before It It was the women it was largely the women like nice Liberal nice seeming normal women. They were the ones who were excusing it justifying it. You saw kind of bloodlust. There was really weird Women this is according to gallup poll social series data For the last 25 or so years young women have become much more liberal The men have moved a little to the right, but the the 18 to 29 year old women had become much much more liberal The the culture war I would remind you Is a left-wing phenomenon? We can't blame the men for polarization. It's more the women and We always hear that it's the right that's focusing on these culture war issues They need to stop stoking the flames of the culture war. I would remind you the culture war Similarly is entirely a left-wing phenomenon It's not the conservatives who redefined marriage. It's the Libs who redefined marriage It's not the conservatives who tried to change how people use bathrooms It was the Libs who tried to change how people use bathrooms It's not the conservatives who decided to rewrite the constitution to kill a million babies a year It was the Libs who did that It wasn't the conservatives who decided to radically change the demographics of the country. It was the Libs who did that And on and on and on by definition It's the libs. It's the radicals. It's revolutionaries who've changed the culture attempted to change culture we are reacting to that and Frankly, we've been much too modest in our reactions. Okay now speaking of demographic trends President Trump He posted a politically incorrect horribly terribly offensive unacceptable racist Bigoted prejudicial post yesterday on truth social that was of course entirely correct He was just posting facts people are very upset about it But he has shifted the way that we talk about immigration already And I think he's giving a sign here of how we should shift it moving forward Folks the daily wire has just released a bombshell investigation into fraud in Ohio We've heard about fraud in Minnesota fraud in California This is even in a Republican state the libs are able to bulk us for billions of dollars in fraud I'll read the report. It's from daily war zone Luke Rose Yak go to daily wire.com right now read the whole investigation share it We've taken down the paywall entirely. It's free. It's public. It's very very important The vice president just tweeted about it yesterday Do not be silent on this do not let the networks cover this up help us demand accountability find the full investigation at daily Where I come share it with everyone you know My favorite comment yesterday once again, I know I don't even usually look at the names So I'm hearing it for the first time drummers workshop norms music who says I haven't seen this much fraud since world war 15 You're right You're right depending on how many ceasefires and new wars we get in the Strait of Hormuz We might we might double those numbers for world wars anytime soon Ilhan Omar will be very pleased President Trump post yesterday and truth social Just some stats He was posting hate stats very hateful totally unacceptable statistics Lifetime contribution per immigrant This is the economic contribution to the United States per immigrant from these places North America Lifetime contribution for an immigrant who comes from North America to North America to America 573 thousand dollars We make over half a million bucks in every North American immigrant we get Scandinavia 557 thousand dollars almost the same Oceania Australia and New Zealand Almost half a million Japan also over half a million the uk 481 thousand now Let's look at some other countries Somalia how much does each Somali immigrant contribute to America? Somalia negative one point one million dollars We have that great Breaking report on fraud coming out from Luke Rosiak at the daily wire vice president just posted about it yesterday Highly encourage you to go to daily wire and check it out Every Somali that we take into America on average costs us over a million dollars From the Caribbean you know, we were told that Haitians built our country or something every immigrant from the Caribbean that we get costs the united states 675 thousand dollars from the middle east costs the united states 624 thousand dollars from Latin America costs the united states over Quarter million dollars from sub-Saharan Africa costs the united states almost three quarters of a million dollars from central and north Africa costs the united states 700 grand this is from a study out of the netherlands two years ago so The question that should be on everyone's mind is Why do we do that? Why do we do that? If you have immigrant, I mean look money is not everything but If you're looking at contributions to the country, I promise you the Somalis are not making cultural contributions They say well, they're costing us some money, but you know, they're their food is just delicious It's not no one likes Somali food. So Somalis don't have a lot of food. So That's not the issue Why are we taking it? Why are we taking these people in? The reason is because in 1965 The democrats got rid of the national quota system through the heart seller act the net previously We had a system that said that this percentage of people can come from this country and this percentage of people can come from this country and this percentage of people can come from this area and it prioritized keeping american demographics stable You know america it's a jumble of at that time I irish and the english and to some degree the italians and the jews and some asian not a ton and But that was about it and then after heart seller They said we're going to get rid of that system We're going to flood the country with all sorts of people from all sorts of places with no regard for the demographics of the us Because the national quota system we were told was racist I guess technically it was racially It was racially aware. I guess it was it was racial for sure. Was it racist though? Was it unjust that is to say? Changing that system has not been good for the american economy Changing that system has not been good and this gets to the real heart of it for social solidarity It has led to a massive breakdown in social solidarity trust and institutions Major demographic upheaval that no one really voted for most people don't like and now the american people voted overwhelmingly against it so it It brings us to the new stage of Conversations about immigration when when I was a kid the only debate between immigration was regarding immigration was Do you want to have a lot more legal immigrants? Or a lot more legal immigrants with a lot more legal immigrants that those were the two positions you could hold Then the the debate became okay Do you want more? I mean when I was I guess when I was really really little both parties agreed illegal immigration was bad, but that gave way And then all of a sudden around the trump area you started to have people say well, hold on Can we have less migration total can we have less migration generally? Now are you allowed to say that that was very that was verboten even on the right? But notice all of those conversations were just about numbers It was it was just about how many? but the Further question the president trump is bringing up in this true social post and it's important is From where what kind of immigrants are we talking about? Because an immigrant from scandinavia? Is going to be more assimilable than an immigrant from afghanistan? An immigrant from the uk well actually now an immigrant from the uk might actually be from afghanistan, but If you're just talking about the brits They're going to be the most assimilable of all So are we allowed to talk about where we want to get our immigrants from president trump has been beating this drum for a while He was excoriated for the sh it whole country's comment when you described hady is an sh it whole country and then democrats started wearing shirts saying Hady is not an sh it whole country and you think well you it's being run by warlord cannibals and they eat mud cakes It's not like the Haitians think it's an sh it whole country That's why they're trying to come here and that's why you're not letting us get rid of their temporary protective status 15 years later So can we be honest? Can we be honest and and? Does the united states have a right to determine the demographics of its country who gets to come in Since 1965 the answer has been no From the colonial era through 1965 the answer was yes And so then the question we have to grapple with even to think about that is Were all of our forebears just horribly racist and wicked and bigoted and evil and wrong Were they or Was there something to it? Were they by and large good people who had the right idea and maybe they even had the idea of how to govern the country a little better Than I don't know aoc and the oyster farmer nazi who's running for senate in main. I think probably so now before we go speaking of the trump administration marker rubio is going viral video posted to the o-sense 613 account on x Rubio took a moment from the 15 jobs he has to dj at a relatives wedding As Here's rubio is rubio just taking over manning and it's just it's just some relatives wedding. It's great. It's great clip Good job. Someone pointed out that rubio is just the most cuban american man ever to live I forget who posted this to social media. It's a guy with multiple jobs He's a dj as a side hustle, you know, he's got so My takeaway from this one, you know, it's a great clip. It's very fun I don't know that marco rubio plans to run for president in 2028 He has said that if jd dance runs he will support jd dance and a lot of people a lot of partisans are trying to split dance from rubio But these two guys seem to get along very very well. They seem to work very well together I think there's very little daylight between their views despite what partisans are saying in the media and activist circles So I don't know if rubio plans to run in 2028 But I do know that whoever posted that video wants rubio to run whoever took that video wants rubio to run That is the kind of thing a presidential candidate does to endear himself to voters That is bill clinton going on our senio whole show playing the saxophone That's a presidential campaign move. So it remains to be seen Is rubio going to stand by his prior endorsement of jd dance? Are we going to see continued unity within the trump administration? Or are we seeing the beginning of a fraying? Look, I Hope and trust that the admin stays together because amid all the divisions on the podcast right on the activist right on the pundit right The admin has been remarkably unified very very impressive But the the dj video raised my eyebrow It raised my it's a good video It raised my eyebrow and not just because I like the music the music's fine.
