President Trump met yesterday with the Danish prime minister at the White House over Trump's plans to annex Greenland. Meanwhile, the chaos and scandals in Minnesota go from bad to worse as illegal aliens and their supporters attack federal agents, federal agents shooting one of them in the leg. We'll get into all the specifics. But I think I've finally figured out President Trump's obsession with acquiring Greenland. Everyone thinks it's about national security or Arctic shipping lanes or minerals and deterring China and Russia. But it occurred to me yesterday. This morning, actually. The biggest flashpoint of domestic conflict right now is occurring.

Why? Because foreign criminals invaded and conquered our quasi-Arctic state formerly populated by amiable Scandinavians. So, once we get the big island to the northeast, we can either round up all the immigrants and send them there, or we can just rename Greenland, New Minnesota, start over again, and we're back to where we were 20 years ago, making America great again. I'm Michael Knowles. This is the Michael Nulls show. Welcome back to the show. Oprah Winfrey has come to the conclusion that eating did not make her fat, but rather, Fatness made her eat. We will get to that, a kind of logic that would make a scholastic, dizzy and maybe pass out. First, though, I want to tell you about cow guys. Go to cow guys.

We used to have nice Scandinavians in Minnesota.

And then the Scandinavians stopped being nice. And then they invited in a ton of Somalis and now everything's terrible. And so what we're going to do is we're just, we're going to say, you know what, whatever, it's over. Cut our losses. The Somalis and the Venezuelans and the

Black Block terrorists can have, the Antifa, they can have Minnesota. But we're just going to start over. We've got new Scandinavians and we're going to keep them nice. They've got to stay nice there. And I think they will. I think we'll be very nice to them. But before we get to new Minnesota, I want to talk about old Minnesota, where things are going from bad to worse, rioters now are breaking into federal vehicles and stealing weapons. Do we have the video?

This is care of Nick Sorter. So here you see, the Libs have been trying to tell us that, you know, it's just nice, caring suburban moms who are trying to stop the terrible ice. This isn't suburban moms. These are masked up black block agents, you know, wearing antifa-style masks. In some cases, face-tottooed gangsters. One of the face-tatoed looks like Hispanic gangsters actually stole a rifle out of a federal vehicle that he broke into. This is, it was always dangerous. People were downplaying the risks. Now it's real dangerous. And so what the feds have to do here is make an example. And there's no alternative. This is, in fact, what the liberals did after January 6th. The difference on January 6th, of course, is that these were not armed anarchists who really hurt anyone seriously. The only person

who was killed in political violence on January 6th, of course, was a Trump supporter who was killed by a trigger happy cop. But what happened? What did the feds do? They went in for months. I spoke to U.S. Marshals after January 6. Months later, they were still tracking down every. single sweet little granny who showed up to take a selfie. So we can get these people. The federal government can do it. I trust that the Trump administration is doing that now. So in many ways, I'm not even trying to convince the Trump administration. I think the White House gets it. I think the people who are in charge of the deportations and law enforcement get it. But Republicans need to get this generally. Conservatives need to get this generally.

Independents need to get this generally. We were talking, especially after Charlie Kirk was murdered, we were talking about organized left-wing terror, Antifa, Blackblock, the kinds of people who set off an explosive when I was speaking at the University of Pittsburgh, the kind of people who have been leading a lot of the anarchy, not just in recent years, but frankly going all the way back to the 1920s in the United States. And they're now challenging the administration. They're challenging the regime in many ways. Are you guys serious or do we control these streets now?

And so if there were any question, the federal government can round these people up. We saw it on January 6th. And they need to. Not even just as a matter of justice, but as a matter of political legitimacy. If you don't round these people up like the animals they are and make examples of them, Buckele style, then you're only going to get more violence. You're only going to get more political challenges. You're only going to get more bad optics.

The only way out right now is through. Meanwhile, I guess as evidence of that read of things, an ice agent was ambushed again. So an ice agent, Homeland Security put this out just yesterday. Yesterday evening, 6.50 p.m. Central time, the federal law enforcement officers were conducting a traffic stop to round up the illegal aliens. And there's an illegal alien from Venezuela who tried to evade arrest. He fled the scene. He's driving his car erratically. Where have we heard this before? crashed into a parked vehicle, where we heard this before, he then gets out of the car, flees on foot. So these poor ice agents are going. They have a thankless job. They go, very important job,

necessary job, but thankless. They go on foot, try to get this guy, and then the Venezuelan illegal starts attacking the officer. So they're trying to get this guy down on the ground. What happens? Two people come out of a nearby apartment, ambush ice. Now, it's unclear. Were those guys, Venezuelans, were they illegal aliens, or were they just diluted lily white Minnesotan leftists who decided they were going to go attack ice one day? Kind of like the lady who was killed. I don't think she intended to be a domestic terrorist, but she drove her SUV into a cop. Things can spin out of control quickly.

In any case, the poor ICE agents now getting ambushed, they take out shovels. They start beating this guy with a shovel. and so luckily, happily, the ice agent was able to get his gun out and shoot the Venezuelan. And the part that might even make the liberals acquiesce to this is he shot him in the leg. This is a massive struggle. This guy's getting ambushed, getting hit with shovels, and he shoots the guy, but he doesn't shoot to stop, which is what law enforcement is trained to do. In the melee, in the struggle, he shoots him and he shoots him in the leg. This is always what the left says.

Why did you have to shoot to kill the suspect? why not just shoot him in the leg? You know, these people who have no idea how firearms work, we have no idea how law enforcement works. He's like, why did you have to shoot him? Why didn't you just shoot the gun out of his hand? But actually in this case, they did shoot him in the leg. Lucky for the Venezuelan, he deserved much worse.

But luckily stopped him. It seems that the suspects are in custody now. You're going to get more of this. There are two options right now. The two options are, bring down an iron fist from the federal government, the full force of the law, round these people up, bouquet-lay style, as I previously mentioned, or allow them to keep obstructing justice, stopping law enforcement, stopping traffic, ambushing cops in some cases fleeing,

and then the cops are going to have to start shooting just to defend their own lives. And then you're going to let it spend more and more out of control. and sooner than many people think you're going to have an anarchic situation. Those are the only two options. And I think most reasonable people, if you think about it for more than two seconds, realize the best thing you can do, certainly for the protection of law and order, certainly for the enforcement of the laws,

but also for the illegals, also even for the good of the anarchists, you need to bring down an iron fist on these people. Meanwhile, very subversive politicians, notably Tim Wals, who is almost certainly a criminal. He's under investigation now relating to the Somali fraud scandal, but who is one of the very worst, just most disgusting politicians in the country. He comes out and he just tries to fan the flames.

Federal government is raining down upon our communities. Two to three thousand armed agents of the federal government have been deployed to Minnesota. Armed, masked, under-trial. trained ice agents are going door to door, ordering people to point out where their neighbors of color live. Wow. Wow. I would never accuse Tim Walls of intelligence. Most people would not. But this isn't him just being a knucklehead. He says that ice agents are deployed to go hunt down neighbors of color. This is an overt effort to create a race war from Tim, from old nice, happy,

Tim Walls. That's not what ICE does. Ice goes and arrests illegal aliens who shouldn't be in this country, who even 20 years ago, both parties uniformly agreed need to be deported. Now he's saying, no, no, no, it's because he's implying it's white supremacist cops going to round up neighbors of color. Hey, if you're a black guy whose family's been American for a long time, ICE ain't coming for you. If you're a Hispanic who speaks English, well who doesn't live in these sorts of enclaves with illegal aliens who I sank coming for you. This is really bad. Tim Walls was presented to the nation in this role that he was cast for, which was to be the running

mate to this woman of color running for president. So his role was to be the dopey white guy. I'm the dopey white guy who doesn't, I don't seize it by chicken. And then, you know, Kamala Harris says, where do the flavor come from? There was an actual exchange between Kamalares and Tills. Howdy, where's the floor? Where do you get the flavor? Oh, I actually don't like any flavor at all.

I only eat tuna sandwiches for every single meal. And that was his role, was to just be this big, dopey, white idiot, you know, to play Homer Simpson on the national stage. But he's much worse than that. That was actually deceitful. I'm not saying the guy's a Rhodes Scholar. He certainly is not. But he knows what he's doing here. This is very subversive stuff.

This after Tim Wals called for an insurrection, this after Tim Wals gave a press conference in which he said that he was bringing up the Minnesota National Guard to oppose federal troops, which is literally insurrection. Ironic after the Democrats mouthed off about the January 6th, you know, supposed insurrection for years. In any case, I think the federal government needs to bring the hammer down on this guy, too. You know, it's not just the Antifa people stealing the rifles, and it's not just the women in their SUVs trying to run over law enforcement. It's not even just the illegal aliens. They got to bring the hammer down on this guy, too. We need to restore order. I said it after the leftist celebrated the assassination of Charlie. I said it after the survey showed that the left increasingly supported political violence. A lot of people said, we just need to restore the free marketplace of ideas and double down. I said, no, no, before you're going to have that, you need to. You need to. to restore order. Marketplaces require order. Flourishing cities like Minneapolis once was or Minnesota

states or polities. Nations need order. You're not going to get order with Tim Walls walking around. If he's going to be walking around, he needs to be walking around in an orange jumpsuit is what he needs. He should not be walking around the governor's mansion. Now, there's actually been an injection of reason and common sense in all of this. And then we can get, we'll move on to Capitol Hill and maybe even to New Minnesota over in Greenland, which you might acquire soon. But the most reasonable voice to come out of Minnesota recently is actually the father-in-law of the woman who was killed by the ICE officer. We'll get to that momentarily first, though.

Who knew your questionable music taste will be a money-making machine? Your style can make you cash. Start selling on Deepop, where taste recognizes taste. Okay. Renee Good.

She's the woman who was killed by the ICE officer as she plowed her car into him. CNN calls this guy. It's a little confusing because René, Renee Good is now sort of infamously a lesbian because it was her lesbian partner who said drive baby, drive, drive before she drove into the agent. It was her lesbian partner who said, this is my fault. Why do the guns have bullets? This is my fault. I told her to come down here.

So she's perceived as a lesbian. But she has a kid and she has a kid because she previously had a husband and the husband died. And so this is her father-in-law, the father of Renee Good's late husband. Here's what he had to say on CNN. Nothing about charges or anything that. Just an investigation into what happened in terms of the ICE agent's actions. But they were, according to the prosecutors

resigning today, pressuring them to investigate Renee's actions and Becca, her wife's actions. How do you feel about all that? Well, you know, I'm not blaming anybody. I mean, it's a hard situation all the way around. It's hard for the, you know, for everybody. involved. I mean, the ice agent, you know, at first, I didn't see the footage where, you know, he was actually, you know, he was actually being ran. I mean, I seen the bump of the car,

hitting, you know, hitting his legs. And so in a, you know, in a flash like that, it's hard to say how you would react. From my understanding that he had been through that before, maybe dragged or something. And so, you know, like I said, it's just, it's just a hard situation for everybody. You know, Becca, you know, she's a great person as well. I mean, you know, I don't have any many enemies. I love everybody. And that's what the Bible tells us, love our neighbors as we love herself. But, you know, I think there's some bad choices. And the word says, for the raft of God, will come up on the children of disobedience. And, you know, it's, I don't blame us. I don't blame Rebecca. I don't blame Renee. I just, you know,

I just wish that, you know, if we're walking the spirit of God, I don't think she would have been there. unbelievably, beautifully put so gracious, so charitable, and spot on. He says, look, I don't, I don't blame Rebecca. Rebecca, who's the lesbian partner, who blames herself, it's my fault. It's my fault. I told her to come down here. Drive, baby, drive, drive. He says, I don't blame Rebecca. I don't blame Renee. I don't blame law enforcement. He says, I just think that there were some bad choices and if they had been following the spirit of God, she wouldn't have been down there. There you have it. There you have it. She wouldn't have been down there. That's the problem. You don't have a right to block traffic. You certainly don't have a right to obstruct law

enforcement. You definitely shouldn't defy orders from law enforcement when you yourself are breaking the law and you definitely shouldn't drive your SUV into a cop. She would be alive, if not for that. That is a beautiful way to put it. And it really clarifies everything. You have the left-wing narrative, which is completely insane. The left-wing narrative is she was doing nothing wrong. She had every right to either, you know, she didn't hit the cop or she had every right to hit the cop or she wasn't right, you know, just the cops are the Nazis and the Venezuelan criminals and the Somali criminals or, I don't know, innocent little doves. So the left-wing narrative is totally crazy.

The right-wing narrative is sometimes overstated. Generally, the right-wing narrative is right, which is that she broke the law. She nearly killed a cop, and he shot her in the face because he rightly perceived an imminent threat to his life. But sometimes it's overstated if we were to say she's a terrorist or something.

I don't think she was a terrorist. She might have kind of functioned as a terrorist, but I don't think she was intentionally a terrorist. That can be overstated. He gives the Christian view. yeah, this is a pity. This is real sad. And, you know, people made bad choices and they were sometimes led into those bad choices by smaller bad choices. But if we were following, if we're all being honest, if we're all being honest, if you were following the Spirit of God, you wouldn't

have been there. You wouldn't have been there. So, so true. Okay. Now, speaking of ignoring the Spirit of God. We turn to Capitol Hill. The libs, I mentioned this yesterday. I said over the Supreme Court, I said, if the libs just can't let the trans topic go away, they can't, they got clobbered on it last November. They've been clobbered on it for years. The right, including us in particular, have been hammering them on it. We totally won on the issue. And the libs just can't let it go. So they're bringing this case to the Supreme Court to defend boys and girls' sports. And now there was this hearing on Capitol Hill over the abortion drug. This is amid the Supreme Court hearing the transgender case.

And Josh Hawley, one of the best ever to do it, Josh Hawley grilling one of these witnesses, Dr. Verma, on the question that has dominated our politics for the past five years. Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Since you bring it up, why don't we to start there? Dr. Verma, I wasn't sure I understood your answer to Senator Moody a moment ago. Do you think that men can get pregnant? I hesitated there because I wasn't sure where the conversation was going or what the goal was.

I mean, I do take care of patients with different identities. I take care of many women. I take care of people with different identities. Put a pause. So this can men get pregnant? This is a version of what is a woman. This is a version of define a woman. This is a version of can men become women?

This question, this should be a layup. This should be a layup for the left right now. They should just say get away. No, men cannot become pregnant. Just say that. And they could even try to weasel their way out of it and say, well, it's actually trans women who get pregnant or trans men or what this or that. But they could just try to weasel their way out because this issue is the biggest loser that they have had in my lifetime. It's a bigger loser even than flood the country with foreign criminals.

This is the biggest loser they've had in my lifetime. any reasonable liberal operative, any lib on Capitol Hill testifying or in this, would just get out of it. But they can't. Keep going. So that's where I paused. I think, I wasn't sure where you were going with that. Well, the goal is just the truth.

So can men get pregnant? Again, the reason I pause there is I'm not really sure what the goal of the question is, goal is just to establish a biological reality. You just said a moment ago that science and evidence should control, not politics. So let's just test that proposition. Can men get pregnant? I take care of people with many identities, but I care of many women that can get pregnant. I do take care of people that don't identify as women. Can men get pregnant? Again, as I'm saying, let me just remind you if you testified to a moment ago. Science and evidence should control, not politics. politics. So, should, can men get pregnant? You're a doctor. I totally agree. Science and evidence should guide medicine. Do science and evidence tell us that men can get pregnant? Biological men. Can they get pregnant? I also think yes, no questions like this are a political tool. No, yes, no questions are about the truth, doctor. Let's not make a mockery of this proceeding. This is about

science and evidence. Oh, it's so beautiful. It's beautiful in a number of ways. One, Holly is just so good at this. He's so good. Oh, let me, you know, he's got the serious face on. And then he asks just a crystal clear question that he knows is going to grind his opponent into the ground. He's so good at it. But it's a layup, too. This is a layup. We've all done, we've all done some version of this for years. I said five years. It's actually been longer than five years. It's been at least six or seven years. And the libs haven't learned anything. They can't, they can't give it up. You know why they can't give it up? Because even though they know that the trans issue is just absolute political poison for them,

it is the inescapable conclusion of their whole political project. Sometimes we're a little too modest about what we think of transgenderism. Sometimes we're a little too modest. And we say, well, this is just the natural outgrowth of gay marriage or the natural outgrowth of gay rights or the natural outgrowth of feminism, all of which say, that men and women are basically the same. But the reason that Republicans keep hammering, conservatives keep hammering this and the left can't give it up goes deeper.

It's not just because it's a weird issue and kind of titillating as a cultural matter. It's because it goes down to the whole liberal project of maximizing individual autonomy. That's the whole liberal project. Going back to classical liberalism, going back centuries. The seed of liberalism says, I am primarily an individual and I will have control over everything. I will control everything, my own destiny, I will control my own polity, my traditions, I will control religion, I will control morality, I will control everything. I will have so much control that I will liberate myself from my very body. That's the culmination of it.

it took centuries to get here. First, we had to liberate ourselves from the king. Then we had to liberate ourselves from the church. Then we had to liberate ourselves from our families, liberalization of divorce laws. Then we had to liberate ourselves from the facts of history. We have massive revision to history. Then we had to liberate ourselves from our country. You see this collapse of patriotism. Then we had to liberate ourselves from the traditional moral order. You see that, especially in the sex stuff, and now we have to liberate ourselves from our own bodies. You have to do it. Liberalism isn't complete until you do that.

And it's interesting, it wouldn't be an episode without mentioning St. Thomas Aquinas. Thomas Aquinas points out that the heresy particular to transgenderism, namely that the body has nothing to do with what we really are, that the body is even bad, which is intrinsic to transgenderism, the idea that I'm born a man, but I'm really a woman. And so the maleness of my body is actually evil, that matter is evil. This is an ancient heresy. It goes back to the beginning.

It goes under the name of dosatism or Gnosticism, Albigensianism. There are lots of versions of this kind of heresy. Curious that St. Thomas Aquinas, one of the most intelligent people to ever live, says that these kinds of heresies are the very worst of all the heresies. because the central fact of Christianity, the turning point of history, is the incarnation. It's that the word became flesh and dwelt among us.

And so it's no surprise that liberalism, which is in many ways an inversion or perversion of Christianity, would take as its apotheosis the very worst heresy. Liberalism, which is in many ways just a kind of collection of heresies, the culmination of liberalism is actually the very worst heresy. Okay. Now, that hearing on Capitol Hill, speaking of the flesh, speaking of incarnation and nativity, and even that hearing on Capitol Hill, which was about the abortion pill, want to tell you about Preborn. Go to preborn.com slash Knowles. There's some new research that reveals something really

heartbreaking. More than 7 million American women are dealing with severe, long-lasting emotional pain after having an abortion. Grief, flashbacks, deep regret that for many never really goes away.

Speaking of body issues, Oprah Winfrey, in a transgender outfit herself, wearing a suit and tie, at least a jacket and a tie, goes on the view to explain a new discovery she's made about her own body.

Oprah, for those who were young in the audience, you might not remember this. Oprah used to be fat, and then she'd be fat, then she'd be skinny, then she'd be fat again. She had big body problems. And she says that now, in her later years, she's come to discover the real cause. of her fatness. It is not that she became fat because she ate too much. No, no, no.

She ate too much because even when she was skinny, she was fat. All these years, I thought I was overeating. I was standing there with all the food noise, what I ate, what I should eat, how many calories was that?

How long was it going to take? I thought that that was because of me and my fault. Now I understand that if you carry the obesity gene, If that is what you have, that is what makes you overeat. You don't overeat and become obese. Obesity causes you to overeat.

Obesity causes you to have all of that food noise. And what the GLP-1s have done for me, and I know a number of other people, is to quiet that noise. Food noise. What is food? One of the great tasks of living in the modern world is to just try to translate this new jargon into common sense terms that we've all known forever. Food noise. What is food noise? Do you know what it is? It's appetite. You know, I, gosh, my food noise is really up right now, honey. When's, when are the steaks done? So she says that she has an appetite because she has obesity. She has, you know,

genetic obesity or something like that. I looked this up. I was curious. I said, maybe she's right. I said, who are the fattest people on earth? When you just close your eyes, you think of like the fattest people as a people, not individuals, but people. It's Polynesians, right? It's like you picture the big fat Samoan or like Israel Kamahooka Wakawele. I'm mispronouncing that a little bit. You know, the ukulele player? These are famously giant people? And I said, are they just genetically fat? I looked into it. And they do have certain genetic features that store fat more efficiently or burn energy, you know, in a more efficient way. And so they do have a predisposition to obesity. But even they, the fattest peoples on earth, cannot blame genetics for the majority

of their fatness. Genics plays a minor role. You know why they're fat? Because they eat a lot. That's what it is. And because people have appetites. And your appetite can grow sometimes when you habituate yourself to eating a lot. That's called a gluttony. Or your appetite can be held in check when you cultivate the virtue of keeping it in check. That's called temperance. And we can try to, we can make up new euphemisms like food noise and obesity actually makes you fat and this and that, but it's not going to change the fact. What Oprah's doing here is trying to defend taking these new drugs, the OZempic and the related drugs. Oh, look, I just had a young man come on the show, clavicular, and talk about why he takes these kinds of drugs. And they have

really negative effects. And, you know, I think they're all symptoms of body dysmorphia at best, or of just trying to cheat and take shortcuts and perpetuate vice at worst. But if you're going to do it, which I don't recommend, then at least be honest about why you're doing it. Because Oprah doesn't want to control her appetites. So you have to externalize everything. It's never about me. It's never about my own habits. It's never about something that I can do. It's always external. And it's a kind of an irony because this goes hand in hand with liberalism as well. On the one hand, we want to take, we want to assume more and more control for ourselves, so much so that we can control when we give birth. We can control when we die. We can control what sex we are. We can control these characteristics,

you know, even that we're born with. We can control all of that. On the one hand, we make ourselves into gods. But then on the other hand, we deny that we have any control over anything, including whether or not we pick up the third cupcake. It's this amazing paradox. When it's convenient for us, we have so much control that we are practically God. But when it's inconvenient for us, we have no control over all, over anything at all. We just have food noise and invisible obesity that's going to make us fat. Oh, no, if only I could stop my hand from picking up that pork chop. It's a little incoherent. It's a little contradictory, isn't it? Speaking of women politics, is a video going viral. I just, I love it. Some people are getting really angry about it. I'm not angry. I love it. I

think it's great. It's a harpy screeching at an ICE officer. Take it away. Thank you for calling the ice hot. Are you proud of this? Are you proud? So it's this awful woman who's screeching at the ice agent. And finally, this goes on for a while. I only showed you a short bit of it. And then finally his partner gets out of the car says,

thank you for calling the ice hotline. Thank you. And then they get back in the truck. These should be campaign ads. These are really good. The Libs right now think that the ice raids are good for them, that they're going to play these raids and it's going to help them in the midterms. I'm not so sure.

especially as the left continues to now try to run over law enforcement, especially as you see these foreign criminals who are stealing rifles and causing riots. I don't know that that helps them. But this in particular, I'm just going to assume that's a white lady. I don't know. She sounds white. And if I'm right about that, this is the perfect campaign ad. Because no one likes these kinds of ladies, these harpies.

And specifically, fair or unfair, they don't like the white harpies. Do you know why? the right doesn't like them because these women hector and hectoring is really annoying they're just nagging hectoring very annoying creatures that that need to improve they need to be educated and husbanded and improve but as they are they're very annoying but the left doesn't like them either because even though the left has no problem with ladies hectoring men they don't like white ladies. That's the one racial slur that everyone feels that we can use is the slur Karen. Karen refers specifically to white women, white women who we don't like. So you find this,

say it's fair, say it's unfair, say it's racist, say it's just, it is what it is. Ngging, hectoring white harpies are probably the least sympathetic figure in the country. And they're the star of the Minnesota riots. It's not the Venezuelans. It's not the Somalis. It's not even ice. It's this type of woman. It's not going to work.

That's why this incident with Renee Good, that's why the left tried to make this into George Floyd 2.0. There are riots and some unrest in Minneapolis, but it's not really happening. You're not really seeing those nationwide riots. That's why. So the Libs want to give us more of these videos? great. Ronymous campaign ads on network TV and social media, which is where most people are watching anyway.

I don't think that helps the Dems in November. Okay, speaking of unpleasant white women, actually, the same group.

slash pendragon. My favorite comment yesterday from Noah U6200 who says, is the Civil Rights Act becoming based? Yes, it. It is. This is my point that Trump administration comes out and says, hey, we have the Civil Rights Act on the books. If you have been fired on the basis of your race, if you've been discriminated against on the basis of your race, please file a complaint. Now, we've heard that for decades, but it was always if you're black and you didn't get a job and you think it's because you're black. Or even if you don't think it's because you're black, but you can pretend you think it's because you're black and maybe you get the job, file a complaint. Or if you're Hispanic or if you're this or that. But don't do it if you're a white person. And because the Civil Rights Act is supposed to end unjust racial discrimination, but what it really does is just discriminate against white people and to some degree Asian people. And so the Trump administration called the bluff. And so we use it the way it says it's supposed to be used, not the way it's practically used. That's what we got to do.

That's the thesis. We need, we live in a political order. And so rather than just whine about pie in the sky, we're going to repeal the Civil Rights Act, that's not going to happen. just use it in a just way. Use it as it perhaps is supposed to be used. We're not going to get rid of the administrative state. We've been building the administrative state since the early days of the 20th century. It went into effect under Franklin Roosevelt in the 1930s. We're not getting rid of it. So let's just use it to our advantage. Let's wield. That's what we got to do. You got to engage in political reality. Okay, back to those unpleasant women. Here is Cia Weaver describing the big problem

for rent justice? I think that United States public policy has done a really, really, really good job of pitting cash poor homeowners and working class homeowners and middle class homeowners against renters. And we need to figure out how to navigate that as organizers.

It's really quite difficult, right? Because, like, yes, Blackstone is a bigger and worse target than, like, you know, Mrs. Smith, who owns 15 buildings. But Mrs. Smith, who owns 15 buildings, still like kind of sucks and has a lot more stability than renters. And there's more of them than there are of the Blackstones. And so it's just like this challenging dynamic that white middle class homeowners are a huge problem for a renter justice movement.

Print it. Print it. Put it on TV. Love this. Love her. Put her on the payroll. I don't care. the Michael Nulls Show payroll, the Daily Wire payroll, the Republican Party payroll, I love her. I love her. If she didn't exist, we'd have to invent her ourselves. She's straight out of central casting. White middle class homeowners are the problem. I want that to be the Democrats' slogan for the midterms. White middle class homeowners are the problem. And I want it to come from her. A hectoring, unsympathetic white, woman. Because, again, I like white women. I don't use the slur Karen. I find that unfair. I think white women are great some of the time. Maybe not that one. But that's just a cultural fact. That's the least sympathetic group. She proves it because she says, you know, and these landlords,

these people who own apartments, they're awful. I mean, Mrs. Smith, she sucks. Notice she says, Mrs. Smith. That's a white name. She doesn't say Mrs. Laquisha. She doesn't say Mrs. Gonzalez. She says Mrs. Smith. It's funny because we're talking about New York now, New York rentals. Well, the Attorney General of New York is under a fraud investigation because she owns an apartment building and she lied about it. She defrauded a financial institution because she is running an apartment building like a scummy fraudster. Her name's Letitia James. She ain't Mrs. Smith. But it doesn't matter because the villain in this narrative for the left and to some degree the right are these white harpies. And so that's just a political

reality. And if you think, if a political party thinks that they're going to win on telling the majority of the population that we need to take their houses away, sign me up, man. Where do I donate to the Sea of Weaver campaign? Now, speaking of home, homes. President Trump, this is a story from a few days ago, but I have to get to it. It's very important. President Trump says he's going to ban institutional investors from buying single-family homes. This is President Trump posting a truth social. For a very long time, buying and owning a home was considered the pinnacle of the American dream. It was the reward for working hard and doing the right thing. But now, because of the record high inflation caused by Joe Biden and the

Democrats in Congress, that American Dream is at reach for far to many young people, I'm immediately taking steps to ban large institutional investors from buying more single-family homes, and I will be calling on Congress to codify it. People live in homes, not corporations. I love this, and the establishment Republicans, and maybe some of the libertarians, they're going to hate this, but I love this. This is smart populist economics, and you're going to hear, oh, are you going to hear from the squishy side? They're going to say, actually, this is corporations or people, to some degree, that's true. And actually, you know, Black Rock has every right to buy up all the single family homes. And actually, this could be really bad for the housing market. Actually, actually, actually, actually, actually, actually, actually, actually, actually, actually,

actually, actually, and we, conservatives, we on our principles need to let Black Rock scoop up all the homes. No, my friend. No. All we care about it as conservatives is just stopping the government from doing things. No, no, no. This is actually a beautiful kind of issue because it unites the more populist types, the more traditional conservatives like me, with some of the most prominent libertarians. Who was it who said that we conservatives do not merely oppose monopoly in government, but monopoly, unaccountable power of all kinds?

It was Barry Goldwater in conscience of a conservative. That was the libertarian presidential candidate par excellence. This is the kind of thing that can actually unite the party. It's where most conservatives are, I think. And it's a big issue. At the height of COVID, almost 5% of homes were purchased by these large institutional investors. If you look at certain cities, Atlanta, Jacksonville, Charlotte, and elsewhere, 15% or more of rental homes are owned by these large institutional investors. The institutional investors are not the biggest driver of the housing costs. They're really not. It's a smaller portion.

But they drive it a little bit. You know what the bigger portion is? Mass migration. That's what does it. Mass migration is accountable for 60% of rental increases around the country and 100% in New York and California. Rents went down four months in a row after Trump began implementing the deportations. Coincidence?

I think not. Really important that we should applaud. This is it. This is sensitive, accountable government. I love it. so much more. Oh, man. What do you talk? Why is, they say I'm over time for my show today. I don't, I have so much more to get to. I want to get to great news about the economy. I want to get to New Minnesota. I want to get to our conquest of Greenland. Dick Cheney, Don Rumsfeld flying F-35s,
