I'm not well acquainted with her work, but she's quite famous. And four years ago, she came out of the closet and declared that she's a lesbian. But today, she's dating a guy.

And the guy looks like a guy. He's not even one of these margin cases. So how is that possible? Did she stop being a lesbian? Because I was told, I was reliably informed that that is impossible. The LGBT ideologues told me that sexual orientation is immutable. So was she just wrong when she identified as a lesbian four years ago? Because I was told, I was reliably informed that that's impossible too.

The LGBT ideologues say a person cannot be wrong about her sexual identity. That a person's sexual identity is whatever she says it is. And you can't question it. But also it can't change. So how? I repeat, how is JoJo Siwa not. today a lesbian. The LGBT movement cannot explain it.

Any way it tries to, it is going to contradict one of its own principles. Which is why, I think, that aforementioned LGBT movement is cratering in popularity. It is collapsing under the weight of its own incoherence. And now, on the first day of Pride Month, one of its top celebrity promoters has decided to switch teams. I'm Michael Knowles. This is the Michael Nulls show. Welcome back to the show. Secretary of State Marco Rubio is revoking the visas of foreign students, specifically Chinese students. Long, long overdue, if you ask many people.

Pride is really taken L's in the first few days. This is really tough. You get in a little bit of corporate pride, if some brands are posting, but then they're immediately downplaying the rainbow stuff. You've got a prominent LGBT actress, singer, lady who's leaving the team, going straight, dating a guy who just looks like a guy. And in Boise, you have Pride being canceled. At least the Pride kickoff being canceled because of low attendance.

There you go. Got it right here. KTVB.com reports. Boise Pride cancels June kickoff event due to low attendance despite strong online support. And that's the key here, I think. politically. Organizers said the initiative aimed to increase visibility and create additional opportunities for celebration throughout pride season, but apparently no one wants to go. I think that's true. I think we reached peak gay sometime in, what would you say, 2019 or so. And as I predicted, it started to unravel.

Once you start pulling on the trans kids, it's difficult to stop the momentum of unraveling the whole LGBT-LMNOP movement because it all partakes of the same. of false anthropology. That includes feminism, too. The false understanding of human nature, once you start unraveling that little knot, it just keeps going. But to me, the politically most important part here

is this apparent contradiction in the headline. Boise Pride cancels June kickoff event due to low attendance despite strong online support. In other words, there is a chasm between the real world and the internet. And we try to remind ourselves this.

We say Twitter isn't real life and we say, you know, don't believe everything you read on the internet. But people get confused. They get pulled into rabbit holes. They get pulled into distraction on the internet. Devil loves distraction. And it confuses us about what is really going on in reality. They're still, I'm not sure if that'll be true tomorrow or the next day or the next day. But at least as of today, Boise Prides cancellation shows us there is a distinction between,

what is being said on the internet and what is going on in real life. The internet is still super gay and trans and weird and everything. And real life is not. It is increasingly less so. I think that's true with a lot of political issues, though. Things that people focus on all the time on the internet, that still is not really necessarily what moves people's heartstrings in the real world. positions that people take on various issues on the internet.

I don't think are exactly reflective of people in the real world. I think this is borne out by public polling. I think this is borne out by elections. And in this case of LGBT pride, it's a really good sign. The internet can be all rainbows, but reality, people just aren't showing up. Now, speaking of reproductive parts, Michelle Obama has made a curious claim. she just argued on a podcast that reproduction is the least important part of a woman's reproductive system. But women's reproductive health is about our life. It's it's about this whole complicated

reproductive system that does the least of what it does is produce life. It's a very important thing that it does. But you only produce life. You only produce life. if the machine that's producing it, if you want to, you know, whittle us down to a machine, if the machine is functioning in a healthy, streamlined kind of way. But there is no discussion or apparent connection between the two. There's no connection. Why would you ever think there's a connection between the reproductive system and reproduction? Where'd you get that crazy idea?

Reproduction is the least of what the reproductive system it does. what would you ask why is it called the reproductive system uh i don't know i don't know i'm i thought it's because that's what it's for but i kind of see what she's saying and and the the philosophical errors she's making i kind of see how she fell into them because from a certain vantage reproduction is the least thing that the reproductive system does in as much as people aren't constantly pregnant Now, let's say a woman has these days, a woman maybe has one kid. The old days, maybe a woman has four or five kids. Could be six or seven kids.

But let's say today, a woman has one to three kids on average. That means that for the vast majority of her life, her reproductive system is not actively creating another person. So from that advantage, you'd say, well, that's the least thing that the reproductive system does. But what if I ask you about a guitar? What is a guitar mostly, what does a guitar do? What's the nature of a guitar? What's the essence of a guitar? You would say, well, let's to create music.

But no, I'd say, nah, no, create music. That's the least thing that my guitar does. Most of the time, my guitar's sitting in its case. Focus features in Blumhouse present obsession. When I have a crush on a guy, no one knows. Be careful. I wish to keep loving more than anyone in the entire world. you wish for. Obsession is 96% fresh on rotten tomatoes. I love you so, so, so, so much.

It's blood-soaked nightmare fuel. What kind of supposed you put on her? You have been warned. Obsession, we did are under 17, 9amato without parent, only theaters May 15th, with special engagements in Dolby. Well, yeah, I guess that's true. Just from, in terms of time, the guitar is mostly sitting in its case. but what a guitar essentially is is a musical instrument. That's what it's for. It's not for sitting in the case, even though that's what it does most of the time. It's for making music. And a woman's reproductive system is for making babies.

And we know things by what they are for, and everything is for something. And that is a fact that we forget in the modern world. we get very philosophically confused, which is why we ignore what things are for, and we use all sorts of things for things that they're not for at all. A very relevant topic during Pride Month. But we need to get back to the old, sturdy way of understanding things, because without that old sturdy way of understanding things,

the world doesn't make any sense. And we don't know what we're doing, and we don't know what we are for, and we don't know what life is for, we don't know what political communities are for, and we suffer existential on we, and we get depressed, and we overdose on drugs and kill ourselves.

If taken to its logical conclusion, that's how dark it gets. We need to get back to asking what are things for. We need to remember, everything is for something. Nothing is for nothing. Things are known by what they are for, and we should use those things for what they are for. That's what we, so when we ask us, what is the country for? The Libs would say, it's for, it's whatever we want it to be,

and it doesn't have to be for any, it's just whatever we want. There's not even any such thing as a country, man. But I would say, no, a country is for the common good of its citizens. Okay, well, if you have the lib view, you understand how we get open borders and, you know, knocking down our history and crime on our streets and letting the criminals at a prison. And you understand, if you don't have a sense of what the country is for, you see how you get there. If you know what the country is for the common good of the citizens,

all of a sudden, all the other political issues fall into place. I know there are a lot of people in politics who say, I only want to focus on action. I don't want to focus on philosophy. I don't want to focus on principles. I don't want to focus on this abstract stuff. But if you go wrong in the first principles, you're going to go wrong in myriad other ways all the way down the line.

If we cannot understand, if the former first lady of the United States, First Lady can't understand that the reproductive system is for reproduction, that there's at least a connection between the two, then we are suffering from a serious crisis of ignorance. We are suffering from a serious political crisis that we need to get right or we're going to go wrong and everything else as we currently are. You know what gasoline is for? It's for making my car run. It's why I want to tell you about Chevron.

America is built on hard work and power. by American energy. Chevron has spent $44 billion with local businesses across all 50 states since 2022, fueling infrastructure and communities, all while strengthening local economies. Last year, Chevron increased U.S. production nearly 20 percent, powering communities and businesses, from the heartlands to the coast. We're helping to fuel America's energy advantage, building a brighter future right here at home. Visit chevron.com slash America to discover more. Speaking of reproduction, I got bad news for all the short kings out there. Tinder is implementing a height filter.

Yes. I'm sorry. I'm sorry, fellas. Well, I actually have some good news. I think there's a silver lining here. It's being reported. I happily have never been on Tinder. I'm not saying that to brag.

I'm very happy about it. But sweet little Elise and I, you know, we were dating before dating apps really became a thing. So I never had to deal with them. Tinder is now making it tougher for all the all the Napoleons of the world out there because they're going to let users set height preferences. Now, right now, it's only Tinder gold and premium subscribers. People pay for Tinder. That's interesting.

It's the higher tiers that can access this feature. And it's more a preference, according to the company, than a hard filter. But still, it's going to whittle down the pool. So should the short kings despair, you're not going to be able to even have the opportunity to demonstrate your Riz on a Tinder chat because the women are just going to filter you out in the first place? No, short kings, have no fear. Stay strong. According to the CDC, just 14 and a half percent of men are at least six feet tall. What's the average height? The

average height is like 5-9 or something like that, 5-8, 5-9. So it's not, it's only 14 and a half percent of men who are six feet tall. Now, I looked not only at the CDC, but the FDC, which is something that Mr. Davies turned me on to. It's called the female delusion calculator. And you can set, you can set all these parameters for like, I want a guy who's six foot three and makes $150,000 a year and does this and went to a top school and blah, but whatever, you know, and you set it and you figure out just what tiny percentage of the population actually matches all these women's delusional criteria. So according to the CDC, just 14.5% of men are six feet tall. According to the FDC, under 11.5% of men are six feet tall when you add in the filters

that they have to be between the ages of 20 and 40 and unmarried. This is really the unmarried thing. I think that does it. So what does that mean for the guys who are under whatever, 6-1 or whatever the women are going to set as their filters? What does that mean for those fellas on Tinder? It means you're going to go through a little bumpy road,

but reality will set in eventually. Because even if the women on these apps are delusional about their dating prospects, reality gets the final say. reality always gets the final say. This is the great conservative consolation. Reality reasserts itself in the end. So you're going to get fewer matches if Tinder implements this policy.

It's probably better not to meet your future spouse on Tinder. I understand that's just how people date today. So I'm not exactly knocking it. I've seen marriages come out of Tinder. I get it. But maybe this is an opportunity to go out there, try to meet people the old-fashioned way. We got a lot of old-fashioned stuff coming back, don't we?

Pride Month is out in clothing. You get more classic cuts of clothing or back in. The gods of the copy book headings are returning, okay? And so maybe you could meet people the old-fashioned way, but in any case, hold strong short kings. You'll get your Tinder matches again soon enough. Now, speaking of making children, speaking of the next generation,

Bobby Kennedy, Jr. has just made good on a promise that he made to me personally when I was interviewing him at the White House a month ago, six weeks ago, something like that. I asked Secretary Kennedy, I said, hey, I know we're not supposed to talk about this or whatever, but is anything going to change about vaccine policy on your watch? You've been very anti-vaccine for much of your public career.

Now you're in government, the government's super pro vaccine. you've got a lot of political forces, are you going to change anything? And his exact words to me were, everything's going to change. Everything's going to change. Then we waited, we waited, nothing really changed. Well, now Secretary Kennedy has made good on that promise. Hi, everybody. I'm Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., your HHS secretary, and I'm here today with NIH director, Dr. J. Badacharya,

and FDA commissioner, Dr. Marty McCarrie. I couldn't be more pleased to announce that as of today, the COVID vaccine for healthy children and healthy pregnant women has been removed from the CDC recommended immunization schedule. Last year, the Biden administration urged healthy children to get yet another COVID shot despite the lack of any clinical data to support the repeat booster strategy in children. That ends today. It's common sense and it's good science. There's no evidence healthy kids need it today, and most countries have stopped recommending it for children. We're now one step closer to realizing President Trump's promise to make America healthy again. This is a great sign. It was always completely insane to give this untested shot, this barely tested shot to pregnant women and little kids. It was completely insane. It was always contrary to any scientific fact that we knew about COVID.

But the reason this is a great sign politically is it shows that Kennedy is really willing to take on entrenched interests. It was unclear. You know, people, they run on one thing. They have a whole public life saying one thing. But the minute they get into power, and it's not even all their fault, the minute that they see the great forces that they're up against, usually they change their tune. Usually they say, look, I got to kind of go along to get along if I'm going to get anything done here. Kennedy is signaling, no, I am going to take on one of the toughest entrenched interests in Washington, the pharmaceutical industry, on one of the toughest, most entrenched issues, vaccines.

That's impressive. People who are knocking the Trump administration, as people always knock administrations, no matter how good, because they're not doing enough, they're not moving fast enough, whatever. To those people, I say, you get involved in politics. And not you get involved in giving a sense. speech, not you get involved in having a podcast, not you get involved in writing a column. I'm saying you get involved, you go try to do something in government. See how, see how fast you move. See how efficiently you work. Because this is impressive stuff. Even I was skeptical that we

would see Bobby Kennedy actually go after vaccines. As he said, I don't even have a particularly strong view on vaccines. It's just putting the substantive matter of the vaccines aside for a second. It's the political courage it takes to actually make good on a thing you've been promising and campaigning on for years. That is very impressive. Now, speaking of things that came from Wuhan, Secretary of State Marco Rubio is revoking the visas of Chinese university students. Hold on. Wait, wait. We'll get back to my very important point. First, though, go to old glorybank.com. Use code noles. Some companies are just now rediscovering patriotism and treating love of country like it's like. hot new trend, not Old Glory Bank. They had been pro-America from the beginning back when standing for faith, family, and freedom actually cost something. I love Old Glory Bank. I had been banking with a big bank that was very awful and terrible for a long time. And then when I was able to set up my account with Old Glory Bank, I thought this is great because not only is a good place to put my money, but also it's the bank for people who remember that the Constitution is not merely a suggestion.

Old Glory Bank won't cancel you for believing that Easter is about more than just a bunny or that the lady's room is not for men. Debanking is a big problem now. People are being debanked over politics. Your money is your money, okay? So make sure you protect it. No DEI, no ESG nonsense. Only PSL.

I'm not talking about delicious pumpkin spice lattes. I'm talking about privacy, security and liberty. Because of their great mobile banking, Old Glory Bank has become the premier bank for the freedom economy with customers in all 50 states. Why are you still banking with banks that hate you at Old Glory Bank? They don't apologize for loving the American tradition. Join me. Go to old glorybank.com slash Knowles.

Make the switch. Oldglorybank.com slash Knowles. It takes a few minutes to open an account and you can join the right side of banking. Secretary of State Marco Rubio just tweeted out the U.S. We'll begin revoking visas of Chinese students, including those with connections to the Chinese Communist Party or studying in critical fields. This is probably long overdue. There are a lot of Chinese students at U.S. universities, especially the top universities.

Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Stanford. There's a lot of Chinese students. A lot of foreign students generally. What did Harvard say in their new class? It's something like 31% foreign students. But a lot of them are Chinese, and we have a hostile relationship with the Chinese at the moment, a largely hostile one, and we know that the Chinese have a lot of spies in the United States, and this is a really easy way to get spies in. I was speaking with a spy on the Michael Ann

series, Jack Barski, former Soviet spy who lived in the United States for many years, many decades, actually. And I said, has spying changed much from when you were a spy in the Cold War to today? And he said, oh, yeah, it's changed a lot. You don't really need to have these illegal alien spies like we used to because you can just send kids to the universities. Now they'll just go to Harvard or something like that. So Ruby is saying, all right, we're going to revoke these visas for good reason because it's a national security matter. Part of a broader strategy to, one, clamp down on foreign countries preying on our country and taking advantage of us. Two, clamping down on foreigners being in our country, period because we have massive cultural problems caused by an influx of foreigners.

And three, clamping down on the universities is a particularly weak point for our political order because it's where radical ideologies come in. It's where radical sexual behaviors come in and racial hostilities crop up and apparently where spies come to. So it's all really smart stuff. To play devil's advocate here, the argument against rescinding the visas is that foreign students going to our elite universities is one way. way that America maintains cultural hegemony around the world because of our soft power. We bring in

the top students from all around the world. We educate them at our most elite institutions. Then we send them out to do what we taught them to do. And this is a great way that America, as the global empire, can flex its muscle without actually having to send the Praetorian Guard to enforce its policies all around the world. I get that idea in theory. I get the argument even of the global. in theory, which is that America has interests, we want to enforce them all around the world. The problem is what we are actually teaching these people, the supposed interests that we are actually defending, no longer serve the United States. Maybe they used to. They don't today. Because what are these foreigners being taught when they come to Harvard? They're being taught

that America's terrible. They're being taught that it was founded by white men and evil racists and terrible sexists and fobs of all sorts. They're being taught that America's empire should be dismantled. They're being taught that America owes something to everyone around the world. They're being taught things that are contrary to American power. The globalists who get America entangled and everything around the world. It would be one thing if that we're serving America's interests, but all it ever seems to do is bleed us dry, throw open our borders,

undermine our country, undermine the common good. That's the problem. I was explaining this once to a member of my family about how... I was talking about religion and politics. And this member of my family is a little more secular, all the rest. And he said, well, Michael, the way you're talking about Christianity and politics, you sound like the Taliban.

I said, no, no, I'm not like the Taliban. The Taliban are Muslims. In other words, the problem with the Taliban is not that they believe that there's a connection between morality and religion and politics. The problem with the Taliban is they have the wrong morality and religion. Same thing here. The problem with the globalists is not that they think that America should flex its muscles all around the world. Donald Trump wants to annex Greenland and Canada and Panama again. Okay. So it's not that America has interests around the globe and we're going to assert our interests.

The problem with the globalists is the kind of stuff that's, want to implement. That's the problem. And so when Rubio says, all right, we're done with this, this isn't working for us, I think he's totally right. Speaking of the Trump administration and kids, Speaker Mike Johnson, this story is more than a few days old, but it's really important to drive home because you're going to see a lot of stupid talking points from the left in the coming days about how Trump wants to cut health care for children and for poor people and he's cutting Medicaid, whatever. Here is Mike Johnson on what he's discovered about Medicaid. I've said the same. We are not cutting Medicaid in this package. There's a lot of

misinformation out there about this, Jake. The numbers of Americans who are affected are those that are entwined in our work to eliminate fraud, waste, and abuse. And what do I mean by that? You got more than 1.4 million illegal aliens on Medicaid. Medicaid is not intended for non-U.S. citizens. It's intended for the most vulnerable populations of Americans, which is pregnant women and young single mothers, the disabled, the elderly. They are protected in what we're doing because we're preserving the resources for those who need it most. You're talking about 4.8 million able-bodied workers, young men, for example, who are on Medicaid and not working. They are choosing not to work when they can. That is called fraud. They are cheating the system. When you root out

those kinds of abuses, you save the resources that are so desperately needed by the people. who deserve it and need it most. That's what we're doing. 1.4 million illegal aliens on Medicaid, a program that is designed only for American citizens and specifically only the most vulnerable American citizens. That's a problem. So when you say, well, the new Trump bill

might end up cutting health care for all these people. Hold on. It's not cutting health care from anyone. It is correcting the way that laws are being enforced to how they're supposed to be enforced. It is correcting a wrong that currently exists in this country, namely that the government is violating the law by offering certain resources to people who explicitly are not supposed to have them. But this shows you another deeper, pernicious problem with illegal immigration.

Namely, we're not going to let people die on the streets. Far from. We're not going to let people die on the streets. We're going to do our best not to let people die in the streets. and we're going to, we're going to, we're not going to let people go hungry. We're not going to let people go without clothes. We're not going to. So when you have millions and millions of foreign peasants welcomed into this country,

contrary to the law by Democrats, even if it's against the law, we're going to give them health care. And we're going to give them a lot of great stuff. And you want to do it too. And we all at some level, even though we know it's wrong in principle, at a human level and at the level of charity, we're a very charitable country, we're going to do that. So the way to avoid that, the way to avoid further corrupting the law

in our political order is not to break the law in the first place, not to throw up in our borders and invite foreign criminals into our country in the first place as the Democrats have done. That's the issue. The other point on illegal immigration

that I want to remind people of right now so that you're not complaining in two months or six months or a year is. I want to remind you, and Republicans need to do a better job of reminding people this, everything in life has a cost. I think there's some people out there, even on the right, who believe that when we deport 11 million illegal aliens, that's just going to make things uniformly better. That's going to make things so much better,

and there's going to be all upside and no downside. that is not true. Everything in life comes with a cost. So we are now quite conscious of the costs of illegal immigration, namely American citizens, young girls getting raped and murdered, left and right, and the drugs and the fentanyl killing 75,000 people a year, and the cartels getting their clutches into America, and the press two for English, and all the terrible stuff that's come along with mass migration. We know that. But there have been benefits, too. That's the And certainly benefits to certain groups and elites, but also benefits to people generally. By bringing in millions and millions of illegal aliens, we have imported a class of slave to, at the very

least, indentured labor that we don't have to pay a lot of money to. So that brings costs down. Costs of things like house cleaning, getting your lawn mode, getting your grapes picked. It reduces labor costs. That really happened. You could say, well, that's bad. We're just importing a bunch of quasi-slave labor. Yeah, yeah, that's what they're doing. But people are enjoying those lower costs. When you deport 11 million people, your costs are going to go up. That's true. One of the downsides of importing that cheap labor market is it's reduced wages for blue-collar workers in America. That's true. But other people have benefited from the prices going down because the labor is decreased. Prices are going to go up. There is always a cost to everything. There is going

to be some kind of balance, okay? And so we need to be aware of that going in. because the present situation is unsustainable. Part of the reason we've imported millions and millions of people is because Americans aren't having babies anymore. But one of the reasons Americans aren't having babies anymore is because we're importing millions and millions of people. And that's tightened up the labor market and it's made our streets less safe. And it's made housing more expensive and it's discouraged people from having kids. But also one of the reasons that we have mass migration in the first place is because people aren't having kids because they're using condoms and not getting married and engaging in selfish behaviors that are unrelated to mass migration.

and everything in life has a cost. That's what we have to remember. Because one thing I fear is that when the costs of deportations kick in, if the deportations ever really ramp up, when the costs kick in, people are going to get cold feet and they're going to want to reverse it. Know what you're getting going into it. Everything in life has a cost,

and right now it seems to me, the costs of mass migration are simply too high. I think we're going to lose our country. So increasing the cost of grapes and getting your lawn mode and your house cleaned, I think is a worthwhile trade-off for having a country, having a coherent country that is oriented toward the common good that makes sense that is a real people.

I think it's worth it. But don't think Trump is going to go in and wave a magic wand. You don't wave a magic wand. We didn't elect him to wave a magic wand. We elected him to do hard things that other people are too cowardly and weak to do. But you got to let him do it. You got to be aware of what that's going to look like. There's going to be a little pain going into it.

Every day, it seems like the world. going further off the rails. This weekend, Ukraine took out over 40 of Russia's strategic bombers in a single drone operation, risking a major escalation if Putin retaliates. Meanwhile, the UK is responding by increasing military spending to their highest levels since the Cold War, and Iran immediately rejected the latest U.S. proposal for a nuclear deal by continuing dangerous influence operations in Africa and the Middle East at the Daily Wire. You'll get the truth about what's going on in the world and what it really means. Not the spin that the mainstream media are trying to spoon feed you, just the facts.

I love that you asked Orban those questions. I'm glad our small nation is getting so much recognition lately. Would have loved to meet you, maybe someday, big fan. Oh, thank you very much. It's very kind. I was really touched, actually, by how many listeners to the show

there are in Hungary and Europe more broadly. That was great. I sometimes, even though I know the show has a global reach, I sometimes just think of it as, you know, it's mostly Americans, but there are a lot of people from all over Europe who listen. So I appreciate that. And I definitely appreciate Hungary. You know, Orban, it's a very serious man. That's a very thoughtful man who has led the way on a lot of these questions, especially migration. A lot of people don't know this. Hungary has effectively zero migration, not zero illegal immigration, zero migration. Zero migration. period. And Hungary is a coherent country where I was saying this to a colleague of mine, I could walk around Budapest at 3 o'clock in the morning in my boxer shorts with five gold

Rolexes on each wrist. No one would look sideways at me. Okay. That is a safe place. It's a great place to be. It's a flourishing community given that it is a small country. Doesn't mean there problems there are problems in all these countries, but it's very impressive. And we could learn a lesson or two from Hungary. No question about it. Now, speaking of the Trump administration taking on entrenched interests, speaking of Harvard, we were talking about Harvard a little bit earlier, President Trump is ramping up his war on Harvard University. And Harvard has to understand the last thing I want to do is hurt them. They're hurting themselves. They're fighting. You know, Colombia has been really, and they were very, very bad what they've done. Very

anti-Semitic and lots of other things. But they're working with us on finding a solution. And, you know, they're taken off that hot seat. But Harvard wants to fight. They want to show how smart they are. And they're getting their ass kicked. Thank you very much, everybody. Thank you, guys.

Even that line. I love how he opens. And he says, look, I'm not trying to hurt Harvard. I'm not being vindictive or something like that. I'm just, I'm saying, help me help you. But Harvard won't do it. They want to show everyone how smart they are, and they're getting their A-Double S kicked. Okay, good night, everybody.

That was it. That was the sign-off from the stand-up bit. That was the sign-up from the late-night show. That is Trump being a showbiz professional to the way he ended that little set, all the way back to casting his perfect enemy, Harvard University. Trump is so good, not only at doing the show, but at casting the show. He's very good at casting. And he casts as the villain in this little show. Harvard.

What a perfect enemy for this moment. A populist moment where the GOP has become the party of the middle class and the working class. That wasn't true in my lifetime all the time. When I was a kid, the Republicans were the party of rich uncle pennybags. Democrats were the party of the working man. That has flipped. Now, Republicans are the party of your average Joe. And so what does that mean? Your perfect enemy is going to be Harvard. And Trump's going to remind you of why Harvard's the perfect enemy? Because they're going to show everyone how smart they are. They think they're smarter than you. They think they're better than you. Well, guess what? We're kicking their dairy ears. That's what we're doing. So right. So right. And Harvard is a good enemy because Harvard legitimately produces many, if not most, of the elite Democrat politicians, business leaders,

state apparatchik, NGO leaders, professors, Harvard produces some of the top powerful leftists in the country. So if you have this power center just churning out powerful leftists and you're a conservative politician, you've got to go after them. And there are plenty of good justifications for going after them. Trump mentioned the anti-Semitism, the fact that Harvard permitted Jewish students to be harassed by frothing keffi-wearing Muslims. But there are plenty of of people who don't care about Israel, don't care about the Jews, don't care. It's just not, that's not a top issue for them at all. And frankly, I don't even think that's the chief reason to go after Harvard. Harvard also, Harvard has not only expressed a hatred of Jews, but also a hatred

of white people, men, Christians, America, the truth, God, reason, you know, the list goes on and on. And Harvard has been effective at producing these leftists. So it makes perfect sense to go after Harvard and to use any excuse you can to do it. Even when those excuses are legitimately good justification. Perfect casting. Perfect casting for the midterms and perfect casting for 2028 too. Hey guys. Who you want to vote for? Trump or Harvard? Hey, average Joe. Whose side are you on? Do you want to be on the side of the Harvard faculty lounge that sneers and looks down at you all the time, calls you deplorable and irredeemable? Or of Trump, that guy who says that you're great and wants to help you and wants you to be rich and successful and have a good family? Which one?

Who do you think? Even Bill Maher, who is still a lib. I know there are many conservatives who say, you know, Bill Maher is really on our side now. I don't really view it that way, but he's an interesting guy and he's still a lib and he's a decent bellwether for a certain kind of voter. And Bill Maher says, yeah, Trump's Harvard policy is great. Excema is unpredictable. But you can flare less with ebbglis. A once-monthly treatment for moderate to severe eczema.

After an initial four-month or longer dosing phase, about four in 10 people taking ebbglis achieved itch relief and clear or almost clear skin at 16 weeks. And most of those people maintain skin that's still more clear at one year with monthly dosing. Hempglis, LBKZ. A 250 milligram per 2-millimeter injection is a prescription medicine used to treat adults in children 12 years of age and older who weigh at least 88 pounds or 40 kilograms with moderate to severe eczema. Also called atopic dermatitis that is not well controlled with prescription therapies used on the skin or topicals or who cannot use topical therapies. Ebglis can be used

with or without topical corticosteroids. Don't use if you're allergic to Epglis. Allergic reactions can occur. Allergic reactions can occur. Tell your doctor if you have new or worsening eye problems. You should not receive a live vaccine when treated with Epglis. Before starting Epglis, tell your doctor if you have a parasitic infection. Ask your doctor about Epgloos and visit ebglis.lis.lily.com or call 1800 LilyRX or 1-800 545-9779. Trump has declared full-scale war on Harvard, and like so many things, he does. There's a kernel of a good idea there.

I mean, I've been on Harvard long before he was. You went to Cornell. That's not why. No. It's because Harvard is a factory in a lot of ways that produces smirking faces. Okay. Harvard is an a-hole factory in a lot of ways

that produces smirking F-faces. Show me the lie. Show me. Fact check. 10,000% true. And Bill Maher, you know, I thought Bill Maher was Jewish. I don't know why I thought that. Maybe because he talks kind of like a New Yorker, L.A. He's an atheist.

He's kind of a lib. I don't know why. But apparently he was raised Catholic. He might have a little bit of ethnic Jewish ancestry, but apparently he was Catholic. Now he's an atheist. And he's definitely a big lib and then kind of a libertarian. He's...

So even he, even a guy who's pretty different from Trump in most ways. He says, man, I support that Trump policy. Bill Maher is not the only one saying that Gavin Newsom, the fact that Gavin Newsom launched that that podcast, and the first guests he invites on are people very close to Trump and tries to make buddies with them and tries to appeal to them, shows you Gavin Newsom's thinking, shoot, man, I should be more like Trump. I should get on board with Trump. Some of Trump's policies are probably pretty smart. Trump has attacked Newsom personally many times. It says, shoot, I got to be more like Trump. You know why? You know why? Because Trump won the popular vote. And Democrats got so shook by that.

They said, yikes, man. We got it. Trump is mainstream. Mass deportations, mainstream. Kicking out Chinese university students, mainstream, mainstream position, majority position. Attacking Harvard University, mainstream. So what are they going to do? Are the Democrats going to follow the Bill Maher route, the Gavin Newsom route and try to be more like Trump? Or are they going to, are they going to double down? on being the thing that they have even often admitted is one of their big weaknesses, namely appealing to the Harvard Faculty Lounge. Trump has set this trap for them. And most of them, as far as I can tell, they're going with Harvard. Okay, good luck.

Fine by me. Even CNN is admitting that the people hate Democrats. This is how Americans sort of see the parties. Which party is better described as the... party with strong leaders. Look at this. Wow. 16% of Americans say Democrats, 40% say that of the Republican Party. Now, overall, no party's doing great. Lots of Americans say neither of these qualities apply to either party. But look at how much worse off the Democrats are. A party that gets things done. Only 19% of Americans say

that about the Democrats. 36% say it about the Republicans. In fact, the only place that the Democrats are numerically had, party of the middle class. This is basically a tie, though. 34% say that of Democrats. 32% say that of Republicans. You see red here is a place that Donald Trump improved his performance from 16 to 20 to 24. Now, he lost some of these counties. He didn't win all of them. But you see how much more red there is than blue. Now, even, it's funny, even as CNN is admitting that the Democrats are just totally cooked,

even there, there's a little bit of dishonesty because you see in the map, the basic color of the map is a kind of a blue. But it's not really showing. This is based on the same kind of triple trend data that was in that New York Times report. And so the guy is saying, he's like, look, most of this is red. There's a ton of red. There's a ton of red. There's very little blue. But even still, CNN is like trying to suggest that most of the country or half the country is blue.

But that doesn't really show that. Where the enthusiasm is, where the counties are moving, even if the counties didn't officially go one way or the other in any discreet election, The momentum of the country is almost entirely for the Republicans. It's the old Trump tweet, despite the constant negative press, go-fefefe. Despite all the headlines you're saying, Trump's Iran policy, Ukraine policy, immigration policy people, hey, there's the bub, blah, blah, blah. Yeah. Nah, man, the public opinion polls show, the people are still broadly on Trump's side. And basically no one is on the Democrat.

side. And what are the Democrats doing about this? This could be my little tease. This will be my tease into Tehe He Tuesday because this is pretty hilarious. There's a big Democrat activist as a woman, Olivia Giuliana, who is saying, look, we need to appeal to men. We lost like all the men. And we lost all these different races and men. This is bad. And we've got to appeal to men. And the way we're going to appeal to men is by recognizing that most guys are pro-abortion, pro-L-GBT, and pro BLM. Can I get a fact check on that fellas? Okay, great. That's your strategy. Good. Appeal to the Harvard Faculty Lounge and gay black baby killers. Say that that is the only good kind of man and all the way. Do that, please. Be my guest. See it at the midterms.
