It's International Lesbian Day.
Joe Biden undermines Kamala Harris,
and an Afghani in Oklahoma,
plans a terror attack for Election Day.
I'm Michael Knowles.
It's the Michael Knowles show.
So many shenanigans around the election.
Every time we think,
okay, this is the last big twist,
the debate, Biden dropping out,
Trump getting shot, Trump almost getting shot again.
Now, we have an Afghani national arrested for almost blow,
rolling up election day.

In case you didn't know, it is International Lesbian Day.
A happy, happy lesbian day to all who celebrate.
I would not encourage celebrating, but, you know, if you do, then I hope,
well, I hope you had to be.
been having a good international lesbian day. The United Nations, in wishing people,
International Lesbian Day, in fact, appears to have abolished International Lesbian Day.
The UN posts yesterday, this is from the UN Free and Equal account, today is International
Lesbian Day. The hashtag lesbian community is incredible and diverse. Is it diverse? Is it all
that diverse? I don't know. I've known a fair number of lesbians.
relatively, and I don't know if it's the most diverse group.
Well, here's how the UN explains it.
Lesbians have many gender expressions, body types, and sex characteristics.
Put a pause there, just in my experience of knowing lesbians, none of that is true.
They have the same gender expression.
They have the same sex characteristics.
Generally, kind of the same body type.
The UN goes on.
They are also of any race, ethnicity, class, or background.
Today we celebrate them all.
Hashtag international lesbian day.
So there you have it.
Lesbians no longer need to be women.
They no longer need to think that they're women.
They no longer need to have the biology of women, the bodies of women, but they can still be lesbians,
which means that lesbians.
who have existed since, I don't know.
Aristophanes wrote Lysistrata in the 5th century BC.
Lesbians, people who have not had the ordinary relations with the opposite sex,
these ladies have been around for a long time until 2024.
Now, lesbians have been abolished because the UN says so.
What does this tell us?
This tells us.
You can hear I'm getting so choked up about the loss of international.
lesbian day. What this tells us is that leftism is all destruction. It's all tearing things down.
Even the weird stuff that the lesbians want to build, they end up destroying because leftism,
liberalism broadly, is just like an acid that you pour on institutions and that slowly breaks down
those institutions, sometimes slowly, sometimes more quickly.
International Lesbian Day is not a particularly traditional holiday.
You know, it's not Christmas.
It's not Easter.
It's not even Arbor Day.
Okay, it's a holiday of a relatively recent vintage.
It's a liberal holiday to celebrate weird sex stuff, which is what seems like most
liberal holidays are these days.
But it's over now, because a lesbian is defined as
being a woman who does those does things that husbands and wives are supposed to do with other women.
And so if you if you expand international lesbian day, if you expand the category of lesbian
to include people who are not women, if you expand the category of lesbian to include people
who are not attracted to women, then you don't, you don't enlarge the scope of lesbianism.
you abolish lesbianism.
So the libs have abolished lesbianism.
I don't know.
I guess the libs and the extremely traditional people,
they're shaking hands now, I guess on the subject.
But the left is doing it unintentionally.
The left is doing it because the left can only destroy.
That has been true.
Since the term leftism came about as a result of the French Revolution,
all they can do is tear down.
They can't build up, even the things that they wish to build,
even their own fantasies.
can't build up. Now, speaking of incoherent lectures from people involved in foreign affairs,
we turn from the United Nations to Kamala Harris, who gave this word salad as an answer to a
question on Israel on 60 minutes. Seems that Prime Minister Netanyahu is not listening.
Well, Bill, the work that we have done has resulted in a number of
movements in that region by Israel that were very much prompted by or a result of many things,
including our advocacy for what needs to happen in the region.
Well, we have done many things with regard to Israel that has led to or been the result of.
It's kind of like an auroboros eating its own tail.
The result of the things that have been done by us and by other people to us and for us and from us.
So before we play the really brilliant discovery made by the video editor Maize that shows you the corruption of the establishment media, just go back.
Go back to that.
This is Kamala Harris's actual answer to this question.
It seems that Prime Minister Netanyahu is not listening.
Well, Bill, the work that we have done has resulted in a number of movements in that region by Israel.
It's resulted in a number of movements in that region by Israel.
That were very much prompted by.
Or a result of many things including our advocacy for what needs to have.
Including our advocacy.
That nothing she said means anything.
I guess individually the components might mean something, but she said that we have done things that have had consequences, but they've also been results. They've been effects of things that have been done and that are happening and things that will happen in the future that involve us and other people. So, you know, that's why I should be the leader of the free world. Because I understand that we have done things and things have been done to us. And the things that we do have.
causes and effects, you know, and you didn't fall out of a coconut tree.
So that's bad enough.
I mean, that is a really egregious answer, and this was played as a teaser to this interview on 60 Minutes.
Now, take a listen to the answer as edited and aired by 60 Minutes.
But it seems that Prime Minister Netanyahu is not listening.
We're not going to stop pursuing what is necessary for the United States to be clear about where we stand on the need for this war to end.
Hold on, what? That's a totally different answer. That's a completely dishonestly edited answer.
Hat tip to May's excellent video editor for finding that. The actual answer was that word salad that said nothing that's humiliating to her campaign.
The edited answer was still not good, but it at least pertained to the question. Yikes, man, this is really egregious.
stuff. And five years ago, certainly 10 years ago, the establishment media probably could have gotten
away with this. Even really, I don't know, three or four years ago, before Elon Musk had really
taken over Twitter and refashioned it into a place where conservatives can get the message out,
probably the establishment media would have gotten away with this. Now, however, we've heard her
real answer. And we can furthermore see the corruption of the establishment media. And I think it makes
both Kamala Harris and the media look much worse. And the takeaway, not only from Kamala's answer,
but then the desperate and I think failed attempt to cover up her answer, is that this woman just
is not in command of a lot of facts. And this woman just might not be the brightest bulb in the
pack. Sharpest tool in the shed. Catch what I'm saying. The presidency of the United States,
believe it or not, does require some basic intelligence and knowledge.
We talk about the presidency now, as though all that matters is ideology.
You know, all that matters is where you stand on these particular issues.
And political views and premises and policies, they matter a lot.
There is also just a basic competence that is required of the job.
It's a big job.
You need to be at least a little bit smart.
and you need to have at least a little bit of knowledge,
Kamala Harris has not demonstrated either of those things.
And the fact that the network news establishment media
has to lie on her behalf this late in the game
is real bad news for her.
There's so much more to say, first though,

Some of you have already seen my latest, actually a lot of you have already seen my latest
episode of Michael and my long-form freewheeling interview series where I sit down with people you
might not have heard from or even heard of before. In this latest episode, I sit down with
John Ramirez, a former Satanist for the powerful testimony that exposes the devil's tricks
and how demons work through people practicing the occult. Check out this teaser.
I came from a family of wallocks and witches. I got the cross upside down here. I got scars
here. I have another symbol here that is the 21 rows to the dark side was carved into my flesh.
that the devil said, carved that into him
because he's going to be the gatekeeper
of the demonic kingdom.
When you're buddies with the devil,
what are the things specifically
that the devil's telling you?
False realities.
Things that you don't have.
Things that you want.
Things that you can't get.
And one time, the devil was sitting
on the passenger seat.
He said, there's a guy on the rooftop,
grab them and sacrifice him for me.
I tried to drag him into my apartment.
I was having demon possessed.
But there was this guy there.
Yeah, no, no, real guy, yeah.
What happens to get you out of it?

ad-free version on Daily Wire Plus. So CBS does its best to cover up Kamala's flub of the foreign policy
answer. Other recent Kamala errors are tougher to hide, namely this one that she just fell into
on ABC News or on ABC the network. She was speaking with those lovely ladies over at the View. And she was
asked to explain how her presidency would differ from the presidency of Joe Biden.
If anything, would you have done something differently than President Biden during the past four years?
There is not a thing that comes to mind in terms of, and I've been a part of most of the decisions that have had impact.
Okay, there is not a thing that comes to mind. I would have done nothing differently than Joe Biden did.
I've been a big part of all the decisions made over the last three and a half years.
This is a 180 degree campaign flip from Kamala Harris.
Kamala Harris, who one month ago, less than one month ago, at the debate with Donald Trump,
sought to distance herself from Biden, said the Biden presidency is not the Kamala Harris presidency.
I am not Joe Biden.
Clearly, I am not Joe Biden, and I am certainly not Donald Trump.
And what I do offer is a new general.
generation of leadership for our country.
Okay, well, hold on. What happened to that new generational leadership for our country?
One month ago, you said, hey, don't you try to pin the failures of the Biden administration on me?
I ain't Joe Biden. My policy vision isn't the vision of Joe Biden. No, sir, I am promising you a new
generation of leadership, new ideas, new policies, new direction. Tim Walls on the campaign trail after
Kamala picked him. It says, we can't take four more years of this. So they were running,
as challenger candidates until yesterday.
And it was implausible, obviously,
because Kamala Harris is currently the vice president of the United States.
But this was an intentional shift.
Kamala Harris,
180-degree turn,
now saying,
I am Joe Biden.
A month ago, I'm not Joe Biden.
Now, I am Joe Biden.
Joe Biden and I are one and the same.
I would have done nothing different over the past three and a half years.
In fact,
I was intimately involved in this.
presidency. Heck, I was practically the president the last three and a half years. Huge shift.
Why is she shifting? Because Kamala Harris realizes something that Joe Biden said for many months,
that I agree with Joe Biden on and that I said for many months, which is that Joe Biden was a
much better candidate than Kamala Harris. Even with the dementia, even with the weird gait,
even with all of the failures of his presidency, Joe Biden is a better candidate than Kamala
Harris. Joe Biden, say what you will about the guy, he remained toward or at the top of American
politics for over half a century. Kamala Harris barely squeaked by in some elections in California.
Kamala Harris never won a single vote in a presidential primary while she was running.
Voters like Biden more than they like Harris. And guess what? The more they see of Kamala Harris,
the truer that is. People don't like this woman. And it's not just that they don't like her because
she has an ugly personality or something like that. They don't like her because they're not impressed
by her. They don't prefer her policies to Biden's policies. They don't prefer her demeanor to Biden's
demeanor. They don't prefer her political inclinations to Biden's political inclinations.
They don't, Biden is just a better candidate. So now, this late in the game,
Kamala's poll numbers are not great. They're not terrible, but they're not great. And so the campaign is having a reset. This is all part of a big reset to say, hey, that's stuff about new direction and we're gonna, yeah, maybe we were a little quick to replace Joe Biden. Yikes. Maybe we should just be running as Joe Biden's third term. So far, it's not really working. You don't need to take my word for it. Turn to Mr. Charlemagne from that Lib podcast.
to the Breakfast Club, which speaks specifically to black voters.
Charlemagne says the Kamala Harris campaign is not resonating.
I think they mess up in regards to messaging.
Like, you know, you'll listen to a lot of reporters,
and they'll be talking to Trump or J.D. Vance,
and they'll be talking to them about things that are happening right here in America.
Because it is an election season right here in America.
So it's so many things that we care about here, right?
So it's always America first.
But then, you know, you go to Tim Walls,
and they're asking him about geo-political politics.
And I think a lot of times that makes them sound very out of touch.
That makes them sound very out of touch
to what's actually going on right here in America.
Oh, talking about things that's happening overseas
and not talking about what's here.
But that's what they're being asked.
Exactly.
Not saying that that stuff is important,
but that stuff gets highlighted over, you know,
what's happening right here in this country.
And when you hear, you know, the vansches
and the Trump's talking about what's happening here at home
and saying things like America first
and make America great again,
that messaging sometimes resonates.
a lot more.
Not sometimes.
It does resonate a lot more.
Because people can, they live in it.
Exactly.
Because you saw what happened in North Carolina.
As soon as you, I think this weekend they announced how much money they were sending to, I think it was Lebanon.
People got outraged.
They was like, yo, what about us right here in North Carolina?
So like that America first messaging goes much farther, especially during election season.
Yep.
Absolutely.
Absolutely, he's right.
I don't think this is 5D chess or anything.
I think Charlemagne, though, he's right.
about a number of things. He's seen pretty basic facts on the ground, which is that the Biden
Harris administration, now the Harris Walls ticket, just doesn't seem to care about Americans.
They care about foreigners. They care about all sorts of foreigners. Foreigners below our southern
border, foreigners who are in our country illegally, foreigners in the Middle East, foreigners in Eastern
Europe. Hold your hands out, catch a nickel, catch a dime. They're willing to give money
out to all of them, but they don't seem to care about Americans for what Americans are focused on.
Is it possible that we're going to see a red title wave in November? I'm not betting on it.
I'm not betting on it. Don't you clip this out? And then if the election doesn't go well,
you'd say Michael was totally wrong. I'm not saying I would put money on a red title wave.
The reason I wouldn't put money on it, by the way, is because I think there are going to be a lot of
shenanigans. I think you're already seeing a lot of those shenanigans like when Pennsylvania
shut down its voter registration website during President Trump's triumphant return to Butler
during that rally in Pennsylvania. I think there are going to be shenanigans like swing states
illegally registering foreign nationals to vote, as we've seen lots of evidence up. I think
there are going to be shenanigans like turning election day into election season and all sorts of
mail-in ballots and drop boxes and all the rest.
So that's why I think I wouldn't bet on a red title wave.
But if this were an honest and fair election like we basically used to have in America until
2020, if this were an honest and fair election, I would bet a significant chunk of money
that this would be a red title wave.
You have a candidate, Kamala Harris, that no one voted for.
That's a disadvantage.
and who really doesn't seem ready for prime time.
You've got a running mate, not that the running mates matter all that much,
who is super weird and a liar and who let his chief city and his state that he governs
burn to the ground while violent criminals marauded and looted.
You have an absolutely disastrous record that the Democrat nominee is in part inheriting
because she is the incumbent vice president.
You've got war abroad.
you've got social issues that are about 50-50 because the trans issue cuts for Republicans
and the abortion issue right now is cutting for Democrats.
So those are sort of off the table.
You've got Trump, who was a good president and things were doing well and people trust him on the economy,
which is the top issue.
You've got this woman who nobody voted for who when she shows up and actually does speak is completely
embarrassing if this were a free and fair and honest election, does anybody believe that Trump
would lose? If we were a different country and Trump lost this election, the U.S. State Department
would start an investigation and say, this is a clear case of fraud, and they'd be calling
us a failed state. And even so, even with all the shenanigans, I don't know. It just seems to me
like Trump's got a real shot.
There's so much more to say.
First, though, go to calci.com slash knolls.
Folks, let me tell you about Calci,
the first legal prediction market in the U.S.
For the first time in a century,
you can actually put your money where your mouth is
when it comes to elections and a whole lot more.
The last time Americans could legally bet on elections
was back in 1924, 100 years ago,
by my mathematical calculation.
This kind of predictive power has been locked away,
but Calshe just blew the doors wide open.

to offer what they call event contracts.
Basically, you can take positions
on whether future events will happen or not.
This is about using your knowledge
to make money and hedge against risks.

at predicting outcomes.
Way more reliable than traditional polling methods.

Not just left-wing media figures.
are pointing out that the Kamala campaign is weak and Trump is doing well.
Joe Biden himself is coming out and shiving Kamala Harris.
And he's doing it in a really subtle way.
He's not doing it by weighing in on the election or saying anything nice about Trump,
certainly, or really demeaning Kamala Harris explicitly.
Joe Biden is undermining the Harris campaign in a much craftier way.
You remember last week,
we heard from Kamala Harris.
We might even play it yesterday in the show
who said that
Ron DeSantis isn't taking her phone calls
in the lead up to Hurricane Milton
and he's playing politics
with the hurricane
and this is completely irresponsible
and he needs to pick up the phone
and talk to her during a natural disaster.
And then DeSantis responded
and said, why would I talk to Kamala Harris?
She's never been involved
all these three and a half years
as vice president in Hurricane
preparedness or hurricane recovery.
She's the vice president. Why am I talking to
Kamala? I don't care about talking to the vice president.
I'm talking to the president.
And then yesterday, Joe Biden comes out.
And he sides with Ronda Santos.
The governor of Florida has been cooperative.
He said he's gotten all that he needs.
I talked to him again yesterday.
And I said, no, you're doing a great job.
It's all being done well.
We thank you for it.
And I literally gave my personal.
phone number to call. So I don't know. There was a rough start in some places, but every governor,
every governor from Florida to North Carolina has been fully cooperative and supportive and
acknowledge what this team is doing. And they're doing an incredible job. We've got a lot more to do.
They're doing an incredible job. And Ron DeSantis in particular is doing an incredible job. He's doing
he's working with us. I gave him my personal phone number. Oh yeah, he's doing great.
Joe Biden hates Kamala Harris. He hates her. It is so, it is palpable. He despises this woman.
She is doing her best to pretend that she is the president when it suits her, not to take on the
responsibilities of the presidency, which she is entirely incapable of, but, but,
of pretending to kind of be the president when she's taking shots at Ron DeSantis for not calling her
for some reason during a hurricane.
But then she wants to run away from the responsibilities of the presidency when it involves
dealing with Joe Biden's disastrous record or when it involves actually doing anything.
And Joe Biden comes out.
He goes, huh?
What?
Why would DeSantis call her?
He doesn't say it explicitly, but that's clearly the subtext.
Why would DeSantis call her?
He's got my personal name.
number. That's what DeSanta said. He said, oh, look, I can talk to Joe Biden directly. And Biden says,
yeah, he's got my personal number. We talk. Kamala Harris has nothing to do with this.
Kamala Harris has nothing to do with anything. This is why I say I could see, I could see a world
in which there's a red tidal wave. Other than the shenanigans might make it tough, but
nobody likes Kamala Harris and virtually nobody wants her to be president, up to and including
Joe Biden. I would be surprised if I found out, it's a secret ballot, we won't find out,
I would be surprised if I found out that Joe Biden voted for Kamala Harris. I don't think he's
going to vote for her. He is going to vote. I would bet a modest but decent amount of money,
Joe Biden will not even vote for Kamala Harris. And I think there are many such cases among the
Democrats. Now, speaking of people who don't want Kamala Harris to win, there was a poll conducted
of Israelis. And the Israelis overwhelmingly, according to this poll, want Donald Trump to win.
This was a poll conducted by Langer Research Associates and Public Opinion Research Israel.
This was of a little over 1,000 Israelis conducted in early to mid-September. And it found that 54%
of Israelis want Trump to win the U.S. election versus 24% who want Harris to win the election.
You might say, well, who cares what foreigners think about our elections? Well, the foreigners
care a lot because America is the global hegemon. I remember this because I was traveling
around the Middle East just on a vacation in 2016. And everywhere, you could see information
about the U.S. election. You could see this in Arabia. You could see this in Lebanon. You could
see this all over the place. And it hit me at that point. Even when I was traveling through
other parts of the world, I think through Europe, I was on the way there. Yeah, I assume I was.
I kind of forget the route. But I think I stopped over there. And you can, you see this all
over the world because America is the leader of the world. So people care about what happens in
our election. Just like someone in Judea would have cared about what was going on in Rome in the
first century, because that's where the imperial government was. Ours is the imperial government.
And so in this case, the Israelis say overwhelmingly by more than two to one, they want Trump to win,
which raises a point to me. You know, there's a kind of perennial suggestion that comes up
that the Jews control the world and they're varying theories as to how this would work. And
even more than theories, they're just kind of spasms or intuitions or whatever. But it would seem to me
that the fact that the vast majority of Israelis want Trump to win
and that President Trump is being undermined left and right
by the established powers that be
would seem to prove that the Jews don't actually secretly control the world.
Do you follow what I'm saying here?
If the Jews secretly controlled the entire world,
then probably the American deep state or the...
the nefarious forces in America,
wouldn't be constantly trying to kick him off the ballot,
imprison him four times,
justify his assassination, twice.
You know, just, I don't know,
those two things seem to be at odds right now.
So I'm happy to see that the Israelis like Trump,
you know, by more than two to one.
But it's also really the deeper political takeaway here is,
some of those spasms, those ideological spasms
that say, you know, it's the nefarious Jews who are like pulling all the strings.
I don't know. If they were, wouldn't they not be trying to, like, imprison and murder Trump right now?
I don't know. It's kind of, that seems like an important datum for examining that sort of question.
Anyway, speaking of Israel, I guess they could just be the most incompetent controllers of the world ever.
Or at the very least, you could say, in their area, they're doing a very good job controlling their particular neck of the woods.
the Prime Minister of Israel, Benjamin Netanyahu, says that Israel has just killed the successor to the head of Hezbollah.
So, you know, Israel took out a ton of Hezbollah fighters when they blew up their pagers, and then a day or two later blew up their walkie-talkies, and then just blew up one of their buildings in Beirut and killed the head of Hezbollah.
Well, I didn't even realize that a successor had been appointed, but according to the...
to Netanyahu, Zeghsezor was appointed, and he was in the job for like 48 hours or something,
and they took him out as well.
Which, another point, just to kind of contradict certain popular narratives that go around.
Say what you will about the Israelis, and, you know, it's true, the U.S. gives them a ton of money,
and sometimes they do things that we don't like, and they spy on us, and, you know, it's a separate country.
They've got separate interests sometimes.
Say what you will about them.
They get results.
They've done a pretty effective job against their enemies, Hamas and Hezbollah.
And I don't know, I don't really have any sympathy for Hamas or Hezbollah.
So good on them.
Speaking of Muslim terrorists, turning back to the home front, an Afghani national has been arrested for planning a terror attack on election day.
This according to the DOJ just came out, says, I won't read the whole press release, but they say,
the Justice Department today announced charges against a citizen of Afghanistan
residing in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma,
for conspiring to conduct an election day terrorist attack in the United States
on behalf of the Islamic State of Iraq and al-Sham.
ISIS.
I thought that was the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria.
Oh, whatever.
A designated foreign terrorist organization,
according to a criminal complaint filed today,
Nasir Ahmad Tahradi,
27 years old,
conspired and attempted to provide material support to ISIS and obtained firearms and ammo to conduct
a violent attack on U.S. soil. He took steps to liquidate his family's assets, resettle family members
overseas, and acquire AK-47 assault rifles and ammunition, and committed terrorist attack on the U.S.
Okay. I would be willing to wager. I guess I'm a real gambling man today. You know, I'm placing a lot of bets,
but I would be willing to wager
that this guy is the first
Nasir Ahmed Tahradi
ever to live in Oklahoma.
You know, I don't have family in Oklahoma,
but from what I know of the state,
not a lot of Nasir Ahmad Tawadie is there.
This guy would probably stick out
a little bit like a sore thumb
in Oklahoma.
How did this?
this guy end up in Oklahoma? Well, I'll tell you exactly how, because America has imported
millions and millions of people from all around the world, largely unvetted in recent years,
because the Democrats want it to happen and the Republicans are willing to allow it to happen.
There was this guy an illegal alien? Did he swim across the Rio Grande? I don't see any evidence
of that. I know the Democrats say we want more illegal immigration,
and more legal immigration. The Republicans say we want more legal immigration, but less illegal
immigration. But the conservative view, I think, when you have, as we do now, the highest foreign-born
percentage of the population ever in U.S. history would seem to be the conservative view is that we need
less immigration. We need many fewer people coming into the country. This, by the way,
is the view of most Americans. Not when you ask them the question of whether they want more or less
immigration. But when you ask Americans the question, how much immigration should we have?
There was a study conducted by Harvard Harris some years ago now that asked that question.
Not, are you pro-immigration or anti-immigration? Most people say, oh, I'm pro-legal immigration.
But when you ask them, okay, how much immigration should we have? The vast majority of Americans
want to drastically reduce all immigration, not just illegal, but legal as well. Of course.
you have to assimilate people.
You have to have a coherent national identity.
And unfortunately, the Afghani Nasir Ahmad Tawadi of ISIS doesn't fit into that picture.
Not saying that nobody from the Middle East can fit into that picture, but this guy can't.
And the fact that this guy was ever permitted to step on U.S. soil is a national scandal.
That's not a failure of DHS necessarily.
I mean, ultimately, I suppose it is a failure of DHS, but more than being a failure of DHS, it's a failure of the American political system to maintain a coherent national identity.
It's a failure of our whole immigration system, Democrat and Republican.

My favorite comment yesterday is from Anaru 3814, who says,
Kamala will call her daddy Donald J. Trump on election night to concede.
I like that. It's a little bit of a stretch and a groaner of a joke, but you're right.
She'll call her daddy Trump on election night to concede. I hope so. I certainly hope that's the case.
What happens if Trump doesn't win? Well, according to Elon Musk, recently in conversation with Tucker Carlson,
Elon is completely up the creek without a battle.
If he loses, man.
You're f***, dude.
If he loses him.
It does seem that way.
You can't just be like, you get to be like.
Yeah, I'm like, how long do you think my prison sentence is going to be?
Will I see my children?
I don't know.
Because it's not like you can say, well, yeah, I maxed out to him,
but, you know, I get...
I've no plausible deniability.
No, no.
And I've been trashing compiling nonstop.
Oh, I know!
I love that Elon's just laughing.
I am...
I am...
I am totally...
And then Tucker's point, he says,
it's not even like you just donated,
but you could try to wiggle out of it.
No, no, no, no.
Elon is up there with the black mag
I had on jumping, doing jumping jacks on stage,
saying Kamala is horrible, Trump is the man, and if Trump loses, this could be the last election.
He's going that far.
He's really taking what the Democrats have done, and he's throwing it back in their face.
The Democrats have said, Trump poses an existential threat to this country.
Elon is insinuating in a way that I think is less of a threat to Kamala Harris,
but he's still implying the political fact that the Democrats,
really are posing an existential threat to democracy.
If anyone's posing an existential threat,
it's the Democrats because we might not have more elections after this.
This is what he means.
He's referring to migration.
He's saying that Democrats have flooded the country,
have intentionally imported people into the country legally and illegally,
to change the demographics of the country,
specifically in swing states,
so that they will have a permanent electoral majority.
Democrats have been bragging about this since the mid-2000s,
in serious published political science papers on the campaign trail sometimes,
and now they're putting it into action.
He's saying, yeah.
So Elon's taking a big risk here.
Elon Musk, it's not like you or I, who, you know, we support the losing candidate,
and maybe we get punished a little bit.
No, I guess I've got a show.
I've got a little bit of a public profile.
Maybe there could be some reprisal.
But I am small potatoes.
I am nothing compared to Elon Musk, one of the richest guys.
in the world has multiple companies.
The ways in which President Kamala Harris could hurt Elon Musk are so more varied and so much
more intense than the ways in which he could hurt any of us.
So he's taking a big risk.
But he's saying we have to take a big risk now because we're all going to be effed if Kamala
Harris wins.
Because it could be the last election, at least in Elon's view.
Now, speaking of people who have famously smoked marijuana, this is a story I'm.
T's yesterday. Big shocking news. I can't say it's a study, but it's new reporting coming out
from doctors. Turns out that if you smoke pot all day, if you like wake up, you wake and bake
and you're vaping throughout the day, have a little edible dessert after lunch, come home,
rip a bong, puff the devil's lettuce, you know, a little bit of that Peruvian parsley. Turns out it's
not good for you. I won't read the whole article, though I encourage you to do it. In Mid-Cost,
Maine, a pediatrician sees teenagers so dependent on cannabis that they consume it practically all day,
every day, a remarkably scary amount, she said. From Washington State to West Virginia,
psychiatrists treat rising numbers of people whose use of the drug has brought on delusions,
paranoia, and other symptoms of psychosis. In the emergency departments of small community hospitals
and large academic medical centers alike,
physicians encounter patients with severe vomiting induced by the drug.
A $33 billion industry is taken root.
Many users believe, for instance,
that people cannot become addicted to cannabis.
I've heard this since I was a kid.
In fact, I think I was taught this in health class.
You can't become addicted to marijuana.
But then all of us know burnout potheads who wake and bake
and who are smoking all day long.
And they don't do well when they're not smoking pot all the time.
They're obviously extremely reliant on it.
And these doctors are saying millions of people do become addicted to pot.
18 million people, nearly a third of all users, ages 18 and up, have reported symptoms of
of cannabis use disorder, according to estimates from a unique data analysis conducted for
the New York Times by Columbia University.
Almost everybody that uses pot every day is reporting problems with it.
That's according to the deputy director of the National Institute.
on drug abuse.
You could even have really acute problems from pot through cannabinoid hyperamesis syndrome,
which causes seizures, kidney failure, cardiac arrest, and death.
Okay.
You were taught, I was taught at least in a health class.
You can't become addicted.
It's not that big a deal.
You can.
It certainly can't kill you.
But it can.
I'm not saying it regularly kills people.
It's rare that it kills people.
But it's not rare that it gets people addicted.
and it's not rare that it gives people delusions and lack of focus and energy and even serious mental health problems like schizophrenia.
That's not all that unusual.
My issue is not.
I know.
I can already read.
I can already foresee the YouTube comments from people who are going to say, Michael, how dare you criticize marijuana?
Michael, you cigar salesmen, how dare you?
Mayflower cigar salesmen, they're great cigars.
How dare you criticize marijuana?
First of all, nicotine and marijuana are different.
How dare you, Michael? I know, hold on. My issue is not exactly with the people who admit pot's not great, but you know, you kind of like it and whatever. You're going to take the risk and you're going to be. I'm not really talking about you. My issue is the people who insist that Marijuana has no downsides or that in fact it's healthy. It's kind of like a miracle drug, man. And it can cure all sorts of problems. It, it does. It, it,
Definitely can cure, like if you have this problem where you don't want to eat Doritos, it can cure that problem. It's very good at curing that.
But the people who treat marijuana as though this recreational drug is suddenly a cure-all. It's really great. It's insane.
These are the same people who, if you lit up a cigarette or could you imagine a cigar in a restaurant, they would start obnoxiously fake coughing in front of you.
you know, but they think there's no problem inhaling huge amounts of smoke with more tar in it,
by the way, into your lungs regularly.
My only point on this is a conservative point that everything in this finite world has costs and benefits.
Everything carries risks.
You can die from drinking too much water, okay?
Surely we can admit that there might be some issues with pot.
And the way that people consume pot today is extremely disordered.
And the way that young people get hooked on it today
with increasingly potent, Mariguana,
that makes you kind of dull and tired and not focused and liberal, generally.
Not ideal.
Now, speaking of dubious health fads,
there is a new rage in health promoted by the likes of Jennifer Aniston
and Kim Kardashian, and that is the salmon sperm facial,
We don't have time to get into that today.
How's that for a disgusting tease?
We have much more to get to today.
It is, in fact, woke Wednesday.
