The left, along with squishy Republicans, is going apoplectic over the Supreme Court's ruling that President Trump has the right to remember. temporary protected status from Haitian visitors 16 years after they received their 18-month guest passes. They got a pass to stay in America for 18 months in 2010, and now the left is going apoplectic because the court says that Trump can finally remove them. Those Haitians are now

parents to more than a quarter million birthright American citizens, the left argues. They constitute 20% or more of the population of towns like Springfield, Ohio. 30% of them have mortgages. I, for one, am not sure that those are the most persuasive arguments against removing the Haitians. In fact, I think those are all arguments for the Haitian's speedy removal. We will get to all the ways that both parties have prioritized foreigners over their own constituents and fellow citizens.

I'll just give you a little tease of it. The headline is, female cop shoots rabbi outside Pornhub office in Canada while hiding from Marxist gunmen who killed immigrant officer named Muhammad. They're calling it the wackiest headline ever. It's kind of a sad thing that it's describing. What I love about the headline is it's a political rush shock test. So we'll get to that momentarily first, though.

whatever your problems with Trump, if you're a conservative, whatever your problems with Trump, he didn't deport as many people as I wanted, he's not, I don't love this foreign policy, I don't, you know, whatever, whatever your problems with Trump, you need to remember, and if you're too young to remember, you need to learn about how horrific the Republican Party had gotten in the days before Donald Trump. Things had gotten so bad that this man that I'm about to show you, was considered a leading conservative candidate for president. This man, John Kasich, former governor of Ohio, who is reacting to the Supreme Court saying, hey, you know what? After 16 years, after a lengthy,

lengthy legal battle, yes, in fact, the president of the United States has the right to remove temporary protected status from a group of people who was supposed to be booted out of this country over 14 years ago. Yeah, the president can do that. Just like the president can apply temporary protected status? The president can remove temporary protected status. It was supposed to go away after 18 months. It actually went away after 16 years. But yeah, the president, I guess, has that right. And a Republican, supposedly a Republican, John Kasich, had this to say. The Supreme Court decision has said that Haitians are going to have to be removed from Springfield, Ohio. I guess I understand that. But there is an opportunity for the Congress to extend temporary

security protection status because things in Haiti are just deteriorating and sending people back there with their families to me is just crazy. I wish the Congress would extend this for the Haitians. But if not, they'll say that that's the law. And to quote somebody, a figure from a Charles Dickson Dickens novel, if that's the law, then the law is an ass. If that's the law, than the law is an ass. The law, which did not require us to take any Haitians, by the way, the law says, okay, you can come here. There was an earthquake.

You can come here temporarily. But in 18 months, you got to go home. And then we allowed them to stay for 16 years. And now we're saying, okay, you know, it's time to go home. What do they say about house guests and fish? They both start to stink after three days. Well, it's been 16 years. So, you know, it's time to go home now.

It says, you're an ass if you think that. The law, if you support the law, the law is an ass and you're an ass too. If you think the wonderful Haitians who contribute so much to America, you out dare, this is supposedly a conservative Republican. And he says you can't set, and why can't we send the Haitians back? Well, because Haiti is still a bad place. Don't forget. We didn't take the Haitians in just because Haiti's a bad place.

though when Trump pointed out that Haiti is a bad place, all of the libs and the squishy Republicans respond and said, no, Haiti's a great place. Haiti's already great. How dare you call it an S-H-I-T whole country? But we didn't just take, everyone knows Haiti's a horrible place. We didn't take the Haitians just because Haiti's a horrible place. We took them because there was a major natural disaster. And because of that discreet event, we said, okay, some of the Haitians can come hang out here for a little bit. But they got to go home. That was 16 years ago, as I may have mentioned. Is the argument now that you're getting, from the left and from Republicans and Republican governors and Republican presidential candidates that we need to keep the Haitians here until Haiti becomes a nice place to live? Well, I guess they just live here then. I guess they're just going to be here permanently. Is that the argument for every other country? I mean, Haiti is a particularly cursed voodoo hellhole that has been a horrific place for hundreds of years at this point since they launched an actual

voodoo revolution, the Haitian revolution, which began by sacrificing a pig. Yeah, that place, has been particularly awful. But a lot of other countries on earth are terrible too. So is the argument not just from the left, but from John Kasich Republicans, is the argument that we need to take all of them in forever until their terrible countries get better? Okay, well, then prepare to take on six billion people at least? Crazy. That argument's totally crazy. I think a lot of people believe it, but a lot of them aren't willing to say it. The arguments that a lot of people on the left are making is that we can't send them home because they make up so much of the population. This guy, Jack unheard, I don't know, some pundit, says major breaking.

The Supreme Court ruling could put nearly 20% of Springfield Ohio's population at risk of deportation. Now, I see that fact, and I don't conclude that we need to keep them there, therefore. I see that fact, and I say, but they're 20% now? Hold on. They're 20% of Springfield, Ohio? Man, we got to get them out of there tomorrow. Next one from a guy named Kurt Anderson says what a hellishly cruel and stupid mess, Scotus is enabled.

Most of the 1.3 legally resident people they're letting Trump to port have lived here for 15 plus years. Okay, first of all, temporary protected status doesn't make you a legal resident exactly. Certainly doesn't mean that you're a citizen or on the pathway to citizenship. It means you're a guest. It's like a long weekend that we're allowing you to spend in America. And he points out, most of them have lived here over 15 years. The average age is 42. their parents to 273,000 U.S. citizen kids because we have a loophole from the 14th Amendment that says that you can have anchor babies in this country.

So these people that were only supposed to be here for 18 months, you say, oh, well, what's the harm in letting them stay a little longer? Well, the harm is you've now created over a quarter million new Americans who are not exactly likely to be Republican conservative voters, but even beyond that, who don't really assimilate, some of whom might eat cats and dogs, reports vary, but who are radically changing the demographics of the country. contrary to the law and contrary to the desires of the American people. The American people who I think still have some right in a self-government, in a supposedly sacred democracy, to determine who participates in the political system. Then here's the kicker. 30% of the Haitians have mortgages.

What percentage of American young adults in their 20s have a home, have a mortgage? What percentage do you think? 27%. This, to me, is one of the most dangerous. damning facts of our political system. It is easier for a Haitian visitor to get a home in America than it is for a Zoomer adult. Haitian visitors who are overstaying their welcome by over 14 years are more likely to be able to get a mortgage in a home than a young American citizen in his 20s.

That is a damning, damning fact. and by top-line economic numbers, things are going pretty well, GDP, stock market, obviously took a little hiccup with the straight-of-form moose closure, but generally speaking, if you look at just did the numbers, the economy is looking pretty good, and yet you talk to ordinary Americans, and they feel like they're having trouble. And you see this maybe nowhere more clearly, other than maybe healthcare, you see this really clearly in home ownership. So what are we doing? We're importing the world, places from the worst people from the worst places on earth to come here, to have over a quarter million kids, and to get homes at the expense of Americans, Americans who can't afford homes, in part because we've taken so many people in. And the John Ksiks of the world say, we have to let them stay. Not for one second, man. Not for one. We need to speed up the deportations. Now, speaking of kicking people out, Do you know Senator Scott Weiner, you know, Noman est Umin, nominative determinism? He's this crazy Democrat in California who's running for Nancy Pelosi's seat.

I've spoken about him on the show a number of times. He is best known for successfully reducing punishments for grown men who rape underage boys. That's been his political crusade. That's what he staked his political career on, and he succeeded at that. That guy, Scott Weiner, is now not radical enough. for the San Francisco Transmarch. We'll get to that momentarily. First, I want to tell you about Good Ranchers.

Go to good ranchers.com. Use code Knowles, KNAWLAS. As we celebrate 250 years of America this 4th of July, here is a question worth asking. How much of the beef on America's grills actually comes from America? The answer might surprise you. More than 85% of grass-fed beef sold in grocery stores

Scott Weiner, leading candidate for Nancy Pelosi's seat, shows up to the San Francisco Transmarch. He's kicked out. Here's why. Scott, I think your legislation on trans issues and your legislation specifically protecting queers on sex offender registry is fantastic. Like, I really applaud you for that, and I think you deserve to be here for that. But I think your housing policy and specifically your housing policy aligning with Gimbi's.

and I think your policy and I think your policy on the genocide in Gaza and I think your policy on the genocide in Gaza it's terrible I think you do not belong here you do not belong here you do not belong here Scott anymore it's been wonderful

for those just listening you got these wacky looking people coming up flipping him off in his face screaming in his face He's an uncommonly tall guy, and you have this kind of array of lavender pygmies just screaming and shouting, black masks. I could watch this all day. Can someone bring me, it's pretty early, we're doing the show a little early today, can someone bring me my plate of Eggs Benedict? Maybe a nice petite Corona cigar.

I want to savor this. This is a feast for the eyes and the ears. How could you do this? Okay, I'll save the rest for later. I'm just, I'm becoming too excited watching this video. The guy, you even hear it referenced in the diatribe. What Scott Weiner is infamous for, his chief political crusade is reducing punishments for grown men who rape underage boys. He went to the mat, as it were, on that issue, and he won.

And the guy protesting him acknowledges that and says, we, thank you for that. I'm so glad. I appreciate you. I think you deserve to be at the trans march because you reduce the punishments for grown men who rape little boys. I appreciate you for that Senator Weiner, but you don't go far enough. You're not radical enough. And it's not even just one issue or another. This is you, your housing policy, you're not enough of a communist. You're kind of a communist, but you're not enough of a communist. And you are a Jew. I guess he's a Jew. I think he's a Jew. Well, maybe we'll do a fact check on that. But basically, you're a Jew.

You don't hate Israel enough and you don't love Palestine enough and you don't want a Palestinian state. And I guess, maybe he might even. I don't even know. I don't think he's like a, I don't think he's a member of the Lakud Party. I don't think he's voting for BB. But he says, you're not radical enough on Gaza and Palestine. Your policy, state senator from California, your policy on Gaza is not radical enough. Now, again, I don't have a graduate degree in public policy.

I don't, I've, but I don't think California state senators have all that much to do with U.S. foreign policy as it pertains to the Middle East. I don't think, but whatever his record is, it's not enough. He's not radical enough for the trans march. This is, you love to see it. Because this is a bad dude. This guy, man, corn pop was a bad dude. So was Scott Wiener.

He's a bad dude. He does bad stuff. He's horrible for America. He's a sick pervert. And he should certainly not be in public life. He should be in serious counseling, spiritual and psychological. And he definitely shouldn't be in U.S. Congress. And the only thing better than the right taking him down is the left taking him down.

one of the main faces of LGBT activism kicked out of the LGBT parade for not being radical enough. You love it. And the other thing that this does is this affirms my, when it comes to Gaza and Israel and all the rest of it, it does affirm my prejudicial position, which is that I am broadly pro-Israel. I can't really get into the whole free Palestine statehood, march with the Kefie of stuff. I can't get into it. I think we need to respect the rights of Palestinian Arabs. I grant that it's a complex situation. But to the point earlier on, look, I'm not an expert.

I don't have a PhD in this subject. So what do we have to go on? Edmund Burke tells us, Russell Kirk tells us, we have to go on prejudice. We don't have time to become the world's leading expert on every single subject. We've got to use rules of thumb. We've got to use all shortcuts sometimes. And when it comes to the issue of Israel, Palestine, the fact that, the people who are the most fanatically anti-Israel and pro-Palestine are those guys,

the ones who are so LGBT that the pederasty state senator isn't radical enough. The fact that those guys are the most insanely pro-Palestine, just not knowing anything else about the issue, just makes me more inclined to be pro-Israel. I know that's not fashionable on the internet these days, but tell me, how am I supposed to be on the same side as those people? Oh my, I can't. Sorry. Not going to happen. Couldn't be me. Sorry. When Scott Weiner is the moderate, couldn't be me. Now, speaking of religion and morality, great, great news coming out of Texas.

Texas is going to bring the Bible back to schools. The Texas State Board of Education just approved a proposal that will establish required reading lists, including Bible verses alongside other classic titles. So it's not saying you have to read the Bible cover to cover. it's not saying there's going to be catechism class in school. It just says you have to read at least like a few verses from the Bible at some point in your K-12 education. And this is enough to make people go crazy, to go apoplectic. The most important book, whether you believe in God or not, whether you practice religion or not, the most important book, I think we would all have to acknowledge, ever written, the book, without knowledge of which you cannot really know anything about English literature,

you cannot really know anything about Western history or culture. That book, Texas is saying, you have to have read like any of it at all ever. And that is too much for the left. And so there is this blue sky lib, John Collins, who has gone viral for his reaction to this. He said, my son's school is not your church. And he is totally exemplifying the reaction of the left.

My kid's school is not your church. them to read the Bible, keep that in church. My kid's school is not your church, which I guess is true, but it's only true because our kids' school today is their church. It's not that the school is not a church. Notice the phrasing here from John Collins is really curious. He doesn't say, my son's school is not a church. He says, my son's school is not your church. That's maybe a little unwitting honesty here from Mr. Blue Sky, because the schools are a kind of a church. The schools have a liturgical calendar. They celebrate Earth Day and the feast of St. George Floyd and all the rest of it. They have liturgical banners. They don't have the kind of banners you would find in a church or parish around

the country. They have the lavender flag and they have the BLM flag. And they have, they have rituals. The rituals, maybe they don't have a moment of silence for prayer in the morning, but they definitely have a moment of silence for BLM. They might not be reciting the creed, but they'll definitely post the Black Square on Instagram. They might not teach you Humanevite by Paul the 6th, but they sure will teach you the sexual revolution in health class. They'll teach you how to put a condom on. They'll teach you about the supposed pandemic of heterosexual AIDS. They'll tell you about, they'll teach you a lot. They will catachize you into a sexual morality. It's just not the Christian one. It's just not your church. is the issue. And I don't, I don't want my kids going to a school that's their church. But the school is

going to be some kind of church. I mean, the schools, don't forget schooling itself, as we know it in the West, comes from the church. The schools established the university system and all the biggest colleges in the country, all the most prestigious and prominent colleges in the country, began as seminaries. Because you have to teach something. There's that stupid line that we say ever since the 60s. which is we don't want to teach students what to think, only how to think. But that's impossible. You can't actually teach someone how to think unless you first teach them what to think. You can't teach them how to think about algebra if you don't teach them that, 2 plus 2 equals 4. You can't teach them how to think about history.

If you don't teach them that, the Battle of Lepanto occurred in 1571. So you have to teach them things. You have to teach them substantive goods. And I want our schools, I don't want them to actually to be madrasse, certainly. and I don't want them to be seminaries, and I don't want them to be the exact same thing as catechetical schools or CCD or Sunday school. But, guys, come on, if we're going to teach the truth,

if we're going to teach, we're going to teach, we're going to teach them to the truth. And if we're going to teach them to the truth, we're going to have to come to certain conclusions about the truth. And if we can't come to the conclusion, one, that God exists, then there's really no purpose to school. If we can't come to the conclusion that the God that exists

looks pretty similar to the Christian God. actually identical, but let's be a little looser just for the sake of our liberal times. Okay, fine. But at the very, even if you don't want to go to those conclusions, which I think you must, at the very least, if you can't conclude that the Bible is an important book, the Bible is an important book. You should have read some of the Bible at some point. If you can't come to that conclusion, then we don't agree about anything and we should just send our kids to different schools. because if you can't agree with that, you and I don't agree on a single thing about education. That's the conclusion here.

Great stuff out of Texas. Hopefully a harbinger of things to come from the rest of the country. Now, speaking of religion, King Charles III, who is the head of the Church of England, one of his official titles is Defensor Fide, defender of the faith. He's now changed his job description. He's going a little bit much,

We'll see the implications of that. A lot of people are really shocked by this. I am not. But the reason I'm not shocked is something, I don't know, something a lot of Christians and Brits seem to have missed about history. First, though, I want to tell you about Angel Studios. Go to angel.com slash Knowles. The story of George Washington did not begin at Valley Forge or Yorktown. It began decades earlier with a 20-year-old facing failure surviving near death and being shaped by Providence into the man who would found the greatest nation in human history.

Young Washington tells that story. Directed by John Irwin starring Andy Circus, Ben Kingsley, and Kelsey Grammer. No revisionism, no rewriting, just the truth of who Washington was and what God had planned for him. March into theaters, July 4th. Help make it the number one movie in America. Here's a smart move.

His new title

says, His Majesty is Supreme Governor of the Church of England and protects the space for faith within the multi-faith nation. Pack it in, guys. Pack it in. Pack it in. Like P.A.K. It's an unintentional plan words. But there's a lot of Pachies there. A lot of Pachies there. A lot of Stanis, so pack it all in. The king is no longer the defender of the faith ahead of the Church of England. He is the Supreme Governor of the Church of England who protects the space for faith in general within the multi-faith nation. A lot of people shocked and appalled by this. They're saying the king should abdicate or this is a betrayal of Anglicanism or this is shot. Why would, this weak, terrible king, why would he do this? In Charles's defense, this is a problem.

that has been brewing and has probably ultimately been inevitable for almost 500 years now. This is what happens. This is the fruit, certainly of what occurred in 1688 when the parliament ousted the Catholic monarch James II. But this is really the fruit of Henry VIII. Henry the 8th, who got the title defender of the faith. This title that King Charles just gave up, it came from Henry the 8th. Do you know who gave it to Henry the 8th? Pope Leo the 10th. It's one of the real

ironies of this whole thing. Henry the 8th had been a staunch defender of the Catholic faith. And then he wanted an annulment. The Pope wouldn't give him an annulment. And so he decided to break away from Rome and tear christened him asunder. And maybe it was because he was a corpulent, you know, selfish kind of guy. Maybe it was because he had his own political problems and it It wasn't just that he was a sex pest. He had real political problems. But regardless, he elevated the temporal over the spiritual authority, and it created this issue. Because when you get the act of supremacy in 1534, when you get the king of England saying, look, I'm the head of the church here, and I'm going to take the spiritual authority to myself. I'm going to appropriate it to

myself as the temporal power. You establish this principle, which comes out in the piece of Augsburg and the Treaty of Westphalia, which is Cuyus Regio Aeus Religio, whose reign his religion. And what's so nefarious about this whole thing is it immediately establishes as a governing political principle religious indifferenceism and subjectivism, relativism. That the religion can be one thing in Germany, in this part of Germany, but a different truth in this part of Germany. It just doesn't make any sense. When we had a unified civilization before the 16th century, there was one religion. And there were different political areas. There were different political competencies of different rulers, but there was one unifying religion, which is why we had one

unified civilization. By that act, Henry VIII undercuts certain religious knowledge and undercuts the unity of our civilization. And so what that does is it weakens us spiritually because we no longer feel that there's any solid ground that we can stand on. But it also weakens us politically. Weakens us politically to be invaded by foreign and often hostile powers that in this case have overtaken England. I understand, if I'm, if I'm King Charles, I was just in the UK. There's a lot of Muslims. There's a lot of Muslims there now. And I wonder if from King Charles's perspective, if he's just saying, look, I can't, there aren't as many Brits in any, anymore. The Brits aren't having kids. We're getting flooded by Pakistani Muslims. And so if I want to

remain the king and I want to lose my head like at least one of my ancestors, then I'm going to need to be more open to Islam. I wonder if that's, maybe it just comes from his liberal theology, but might just be a cold political calculation. I say, well, what's he supposed to do? His ancestor, Henry the 8th, said that the king can just declare religious truth according to his caprices and whims. So what's wrong with King Charles saying, okay, now we're going to be, now, now I'm no longer the defender of the Anglican faith. I'm going to be the defender of faith in a multi-faith nation. What's wrong with that? That's exactly what Henry VIII did. And furthermore, in 1688, you had the so-called glorious revolution. This is one of my biggest hobby horses in all of politics, and it just drives me

crazy. In 1688, you had a Catholic king, James II, and parliament said, we don't want that Catholic king anymore. This is a post-Henry the eighth world. We're going to get rid of the Catholic king, so they ran them out of town. And the parliament, illegitimately, accreted to itself, the authority that belongs to the king. And they said, no, Parliament runs the show here. and the king is like our little pet. So we're going to have our little pet that's going to pretend that he has some power and he's going to be fine for tourism and he'll have a nice cute house and I'll wear a cute little clothes, but he belongs to us.

Parliament really runs the show. Okay, well, if Parliament runs the show, if that is to say, if the democracy now runs the show in the United Kingdom, then when you flood the country with a ton of Muslims and the Demos changes to become more Muslim, well, guess what? Then the king is going to dance. Because you destroyed the legitimacy of the monarchy. in 1688 in the so-called glorious revolution. And you destroyed the legitimacy of the unifying religion

and the religious certainty in 1534. So now the chickens are coming home to roost. It's very sad. I'm a huge anglophile. I love the UK. I actually have a decent amount of respect for King Charles. But what'd you expect? What'd you expect?

Now we've got his majesty, defender of fathes, and supreme caliph of the United Kingdom. Sad, very sad. Okay. Speaking of the decline of great institutions, I saw Toy Story. I saw Toy Story over the week. I took my kids to it. I love Toy Story.

It's a great movie. It came out when I was five years old, 1995. It was great. I saw some of the sequels. I don't really remember them that well. But the first movie, it's so, so great. And I went to see this one. I had tempered my expectations.

And the movie has a really great message about technology and being a kid and play. And we'll get to that. And it has a really great message that. you will understand if you can get past the relentless feminism of the movie and to the apparent extinction of white people. There are just, white people are just gone. Well, I should temper that. Because it's an old franchise that came out in the 90s when America was still a very,

very white country, America still understood herself. Even the liberals understood America to be a white country. Because it came out in the 90s, like all the toys are white or animals or whatever. Mr. Potato Head might be Italian. He's a little swarthy. But all the toys are white. But now, because we're in 2026, after mass migration in demographic shift, and wokeness and DEI, it's not even just that you have fewer white characters who are not toys in the movie. They're basically all gone. It's just everybody is not white. And it's not even clear what they are. The main kind of human characters in this one are just ethnically

ambiguous. They're sort of vaguely swarthy, a couple shades duskier than I. And then this is wild. There's these ranchers. They're on like 1,200 ranch street, and they have a horse and a pig, and they're like Indian or something. I don't know if they're Indian or black, whatever they are. They don't strike you as the usual rancher or farmer in America. And anyway, it's just so over the top. The just extinction of white people. So there's that. And then the feminism is really annoying. It's a girl movie. And this really could have been one of those offshoot toy story movies, like Lightyear or something. It didn't have to be main canon because it's not about Buzz or Woody. They're barely in the movie. It's about Jesse, who's the, you know, the cow girl character. And all the,

all the kids playing are girls. It's all just about girls playing. And you say, okay, I guess that's fine, maybe. I don't know. Like, but at every single chance, they take a feminist line. So, like, the, the buzz character has become not just Homer Simpson, not just a complete dupus, but in a feminine dufus, who behaves in every way in his desire for a girl, in the way, you. And the way, He tries to get the girl. He always behaves like the girl, like a kind of a sissy. And one of the rejoinders to this is, well, it's girls, in this case, playing with the toys. Sometimes.

Sometimes it's the toys acting of their own accord, you know, when the kids aren't in the room. But sometimes it's the kids playing with the toys. So you say, well, it's little girls playing with the toys. That's why the toys seem more effeminate. But that's not true. That's not true. When little girls play with toys, not that I have a lot of experience with this, but from my limited knowledge, when little girls play with toys, they don't make the handsome prince into a total sissy, and they don't make the

Barbie doll into some girl boss lesbian. You know, they play according to traditional gender roles. Little girls, despite decades of feminism, little girls don't dream of being construction workers. They dream about being princesses and being proposed to and getting married. They dream about kind of girly things. And so this toy story totally misses all of that. So I've been a very very much. very harsh on the story story. But it does have an important message. And the important message is in a kind of funny plot. Maybe this is why they couldn't make it a side movie is because the plot is too important canonically. And the plot is the invasion of devices, the invasion of the iPad, which makes kids grow up too fast, which turns them into zombies, which destroys their

ability to play, which destroys their imagination, which destroys their ability to make friends and to socialize. And it's a really, really good message that they articulate well. Even this distinction that they make in the movie between games and play. Jesse, the cowboy character, cowgirl character. She makes this point. She's talking to the devices and she says, do you guys want to play? And they say, yeah, which game do you want to play? This, that or the other. She goes, no, no, no, that's just a game. And the difference between game and play is that game is just very structured. There are rules. It's discreet. It's finite. Whereas play is open. It's infinite. It involves much more participation of the individual. That's a really important point.

And what's crucial about the Toy Story movie is it's not just a Luddite movie. It's not just saying technology always bad, smash the machines, because that's unrealistic. That's not how the world works. In fact, many of the toys in Toy Story increasingly have technological aspects to them. The question is about putting technology in its proper place. And so it does that really well. I don't mean to be too hard, but it's just like, good grief. Could we tone the feminism and the DEI race stuff back like 15?

percent. Even that would have been, it really should be dialed back in 99.8% plus, but even just a little, it was just so on the nose. It was crazy. But the rest of the movie is good. And even the way that Taylor Swift, it was like really, my kids are really into Toy Story. So I actually got way more into this in the weeks leading up to it than I otherwise might have. But they were going to have Taylor Swift do the music for it. And I was kind of annoyed because Randy Newman should be doing the music for Toy Story. You know, Randy Newman, one of the great short people. You got a friend in me. And they even handle that. So they do it, like, they handle it really, really well. I guess maybe the most damning thing I could say about it, but the best thing I could say about it is,

Tori Story 5 might be the best we can get in the big two six. And the toy story, the story of it, going back to the beginning, is it's a nostalgic story. It's a story about your childhood and what happens when your kids grow up. And they kind of forget about their toys. And in that way, the toys are kind of like the parents. This is why it resonates for parents, too. is someday you're your kid's favorite thing right now, and someday your kid's barely going to call you. And that's just a fact of growing up. And it's a longing for the past.

And I guess this toy story is particularly poignant in that way, because this franchise is going on for 30 years now. And you can look back and say, look, maybe in some ways the country's gotten a little better, maybe it's kind of hard to point to, but you look back and you say, wow, man, I don't think it's just nostalgia for childhood. this country really was stronger and better in the 90s.

It actually, things were better, unlike our position in the world materially, at least relative to the rest of the world, race relations. Obviously, the sexual stuff was mostly better. It, huh, things have gotten worse. Is there a way that, is there a way to get back to that? I don't know. Let's wait for Toy Story 6. Let's say hopefully it gets better. Now, before we get to the wacky headline, the wackiest headline that's ever,

been written. My favorite comment yesterday is from Noah Dansby. It says, just what a copy of reasons to vote for Democrats. Now make me the comment of the day so I can flex on my lib friends. Done. Done. I need to do a revised and expanded edition. We're still selling a bazillion copies a year of reasons to vote for Democrats, a comprehensive guide. My first book in Magnum Opus, promoted by President Trump is a great book for your reading enjoyment. But I think I need to do a revised and expanded critical edition for the 10-year anniversary. It's coming up. It's coming up next year. maybe I'll have to do a new one. Okay, before I go today, I got very exciting news today. I got to fly to D.C. and then I'm going to Idaho, actually, but I'm going to be in D.C. later tonight.

I'm going to be stopping by the National Mall. I initially posted it was at 6 p.m. I think it's at 6.30 p.m. On the main stage, I'm going to swing by, do a few versions of the yes or no game. So if you're in town, if you're not in town, get to town, get to town, but if you're in town in D.C. on the National Mall, close to the Washington Monument, close to the, I guess, the east side of the mall. swing by we're going to be doing the yes or no game for a little bit it'll be a lot of fun 20 minutes something like that i'll get a big big interview we're doing which will come out tomorrow if i can whip the team into shape to get it out tomorrow but big interview make sure you tune in for that in dc and then tomorrow morning they're going to be doing the ribbon cutting for a statue of my ancestor simon knolls in right by the white house so we got that too very very exciting before we get to that before i get on

my flight that i'm probably going to be late for i need to read the wackiest headline ever made This headline says, it was going totally viral on social media. There were a few different versions of it, but here you have. Report, female cop shoots rabbi outside Pornhub office in Canada while hiding from Marxist gunman who killed immigrant officer named Muhammad. It's sad, like someone actually did die in this headline. But this was going viral because it just, it takes in everything. And a point that I didn't see anyone make, but I think this is what's so fascinating about the headline is. The headline is a political Rorschach test.

The part of the headline that you zoom in on will tell you your chief political priorities and obsessions. It actually says more about the person reading the headline than it does about any incident that actually took place. Because in it you say, you've got female cop. why are there female cops? There should obviously should not be female cops. Women are not as strong as men and physical activities. Like things that require brute strength should, it should be men. Part of being a cop is like car chases.

Women probably not the best at that. Anyway, so you get the female cop part, then shoots a rabbi outside Pornhub. So you get these people who don't like Jews. They say, well, what's the rabbi doing by Pornhub? What was he doing there at Pornhub? No, there's no evidence that this rabbi was doing anything at Pornhub, but you say you got the you got the jew people they're anti-jew people they said what's he doing at porn hub then it takes place in canada that's america's evil top hat i think we can all agree on that

a marxist gunman there you go it's the marxists they've been killing people for hundreds of years now who killed an immigrant officer named mohammed why is there a guy named mohammed in canada canada is supposed to be lily white the brownest things in canada are supposed to be the caribou why is there a guy named mohammed there is that it is a Muslim country i don't think so so it you get to pick the thing you focus on will tell you the most about your politics. And I said, which is the one that gets me the most about this? And it's not, I'm a phylo-Semite, so it's not the rabbi thing. It's, I don't, you know, I'm not exactly the most pro-Islam guy in the world,

but I'm not surprised that there's an officer named Muhammad in Canada. I don't know, there's been a mass migration. There's nothing pretty sad that he was killed. Not surprised by the immigration. The one, I'm not surprised that Marxists are that violent. but that seems kind of ancillary to me. For me, at least, it's the female cop. That's the one that to me

is the most outrageous part of the headline. Because one, I guess she is responsible for killing Muhammad because she just started, you know, like female cops, not to be stereotypical, because they don't have that brute strength and because they're not always as confident. Sometimes you remember with President Trump, the woman who was supposed to protect him,

didn't know how to holster her gun. They just start spraying. They just start. A lot of these insurm, incident, officer-involved shootings, didn't always have to go that way because sometimes the ladies get a little trigger-happy because they're more physically vulnerable. So anyway, to me, that is the most egregious part of the headline. That's my most deeply felt political prejudice. We all have political prejudices. We all operate on prejudices. We couldn't get out of bed in the

morning if we didn't, going back to Burke and Kirk. And that one, that's the one to me. And I think I'm justified in this. Because whatever you want to say about the divisions in the world, you got the Muhammad thing, migration. Yeah, okay, that's an important political issue. You got the religious stuff with Muhammad and the rabbi religion. Very, very important, of course. The religious differences are a big part of human diversity. You got the porn, that lust is a big vice.

Marxist ideology is a big motivator of activity. But I would say much more than race, even religion or ideology or vice or whatever. the chief distinction within human nature is the sexual distinction. It's much more important than the other ones at the level of anthropology. But you tell me in the comments. Where does your eye go? Like on the Rorschach ink block test, where does your eye go in the headline? Is it the female cop, the rabbi at the porn hub, the Marxist gunmen, or the immigrant named Muhammad?

Which one is it? Okay. So much more I want to get to. Got some palace intrigue with Rubio and Vance. Got Tala Rico talking about the limits of his masculinity. There's a lot more. A lot more to get to. I don't have time because I got to catch a flight right now.

Very sorry. No member of segmentum today. We'll get to it this week. Make sure you tune in a big, big interview coming up for tomorrow. I'm Michael Noles. It's the Michael Nulls show. See you then.
