Ep. 944 - Are Americans Still American?

Andrew Klavan dissects progressive absurdities—mocking the New York Times’ "moral purity" monument study and BLM’s Marxist agenda—while defending Trump’s Middle East deals and energy independence. He slams media collusion on Russia collusion, Charlottesville smears, and mail-in voting fraud claims, framing Democrats as a "corrupt complex." Contrasting Trump’s job growth for Black Americans with BLM’s family-destroying policies, Klavan warns replacing him with Biden won’t fix division but institutionalize it, urging listeners to reject the establishment narrative.

New York Times Study Revelations 00:05:49
Black Lives Matter rioters continue to make the world a better place.
A new completely made-up study from the New York Times, a former newspaper, reveals that every time the mostly peaceful violent mobs tear down a statue, another black child gets an education.
According to the study, the sheer moral purity of the mostly peaceful violence is transferred into the kinetic action of destroying monuments so that when the monuments crash to the ground, a series of vibrations travels across town into the mind of a fatherless black child, imparting math and reading skills.
This not only improves the child's chances of success, it also helps him to avoid experiencing traits which were determined by the Smithsonian National Museum of African American History and Culture to be tools of oppressive whiteness, such as hard work and rational thought.
The museum later apologized for that characterization, but they were still thinking it and had their fingers crossed behind their backs.
The completely made-up study in the Times is one of a new series of completely made-up studies, which the Times is releasing as a follow-up to the 1619 project.
It was overseen by an expert committee of experts led by expert experts, John and Mary Expert.
So anyone who doesn't believe it is not listening to the experts.
The study goes on to say that every time a government building is set on fire, systemic racism is lowered in any system where systemic racism is systemic.
According to the study, when government buildings burn, the righteous rage of the arsonists mixes with the historic sins of the nation, causing a chemical reaction that purifies the air of the kind of racism that often arises when Black Lives Matter people are seen setting buildings on fire.
Finally, the study concludes that anyone who loots a store could actually improve people's lives, especially the lives of the experts, if they would send a pair of hot sneakers sizes 10 and a half male and female eight.
Trigger warning, I'm Andrew Clavin, and this is the Andrew Clavin Show.
I'm the hunky-dunky, life is tickety-boom.
Birds are winging, also singing, hunky-dunky-dee-doo.
Ship-shaped dipsy-topsy, the world is a bitty zing.

Here is Ron Harpaz, who says, who notices Clavin goes away for a week, Beirut blows the F up.
Clavin comes back.
After a week away, Israel and the UAA finalize a peace treaty.
Do you heathens believe in the Lord of the Omniverse Now?
I mean, really, what does it take?
What does it take?
You know, one of the things that is going on right now is there are so many rules and regulations that your small business can just be destroyed.
It doesn't even take the flu to destroy your small business.
You can just be destroyed by trying to follow the HR rules.

Or as we say, for those of you who don't know how to spell clavin, it's k-l-a-v-a-n.
There are no e.
There are no easing things.
During the 2012 election, Obama versus the former Mitt Romney, the brilliant Rush Limbaugh once brilliantly said, I think that the country could survive four more years of Obama, but I don't believe the country can survive a country full of people who would re-elect him.
That's pretty much the way I'm feeling right now.
I think the country might survive having Jeff Dunham's ventriloquist dummy Walter sitting on the lap of corrupt leftist Kamala Harris.
But what kind of population would vote for them?
Think of what the media Democrat complex has done to this country in the last four years.
The Russian collusion hoax, three and a half years of absolute hysteria over zip, the meaningless impeachment, also zip.
Now this stupid post office conspiracy panic, which is also about nothing, the out-and-out lie about Trump saying there were good people among white supremacists and on and on.
And now this amazing Democrat proposal that you elect a president who hasn't got the guts or the mental wherewithal to come out of his basement and face even the slavish Democrat media.
Think of these dreadful riots in Democrat cities with Democrat politicians and press telling us they're really good for us.
Think of the homeless littering Democrat cities in the sidewalks, the murders increasing as the police are defunded or socially ostracized.
Think of the lunatic kung flu regulations where you're allowed to riot, but you're not allowed to pray to God, where the police show up if you don't wear a mask that stand down if you set a courthouse on fire.
How stupid do people have to be to vote for the party that does this stuff?
I completely understand people who don't like Donald Trump.
He's oftentimes not likable.
He's a bumptious guy.
And they feel that they can't vote for him.
Europe's Fragile Unity 00:02:43
Fine.
But is it too much to ask for you to vote for people who actually love the country they're asking to govern, who won't terrorize you with fake conspiracies and won't sign on to having our cities burned down or our constitution overturned just to give them a temporary victory?
Our nation can survive Biden and Harris, but a populace who would vote for this chaos and corruption, that is something that right well end us.
And we're going to find out whether Americans are still Americans, whether they still believe in the American way.
You know, there's a famous book called, I think it's called The World of Yesterday.
It's by an Austrian Jewish writer named Stefan Zweig.
And Zweig was born in the last part of the 19th century when Europe was at its peak and there was a kind of sense that Europe was becoming all one continent, that everybody loved one another.
They moved from place to place.
You didn't even have to have papers half the time to go from one country to another.
And Zweig was a kind of typical intellectual Jewish guy who just wanted to meet all the brilliant people everywhere.
He was a good writer.
And he would move from Austria.
He was born in the Austrian-Hungarian Empire, which had just been standing so long they thought it would stand forever.
They thought it was going to be there forever.
And so he would travel to Paris and he would travel to other countries, Britain and even America.
And he just felt like a citizen of the world.
One day he's in a small town in France, Turin, Terrain, and it was just before, it was 1914, right?
And he goes into a movie theater.
He's in a cinema and they play a newsreel.
And the news is, it's called News from All Over the World.
And a picture of Kaiser Wilhelm meeting the German Emperor Franz Joseph in Vienna comes on.
And suddenly he's in this little town, basically, this little outback town.
And suddenly everybody starts booing.
They start booing for the Austrian Empire Emperor and the German leader.
And they're screaming and yelling and they're hooting at the theater.
And suddenly he realizes that it's so easy.
These people have nothing against Austrians.
They're just governed by the press.
They've just been manipulated by politicians and by the press into hating the Germans and the Austrians.
And he suddenly realizes this Europe could come apart at the seams.
And of course, a couple of months later, it does come apart at the scenes.
World War I starts.
Suddenly, these countries that were all one country are hating each other and the world is torn apart and Europe is over.
I was thinking about this over the weekend when Donald Trump's brother died.
You know, it's just this little thing, just like this little thing in this movie theater that happened in this small French town to Stefan Zweig.
I was looking at Robert Trump dies, and obviously Donald Trump is shattered by this and he issues a Thanksgiving with a heavy heart.
Reality Versus Press 00:15:21
I share that my wonderful brother Robert peacefully passed away tonight.
He was not just my brother.
He was my best friend.
He will be greatly missed, but we will meet again.
His memory will live on in my heart forever.
Robert, I love you.
Rest in peace.
That's what Donald Trump puts out.
Within minutes on Twitter, the wrong Trump is trending.
I got a note from somebody saying, how long will it be before somebody says the wrong Trump died?
Everybody was saying, these are blue check mark people.
The actor Michael Rappaport, the director, they just announced that Robert Trump has died of shame.
Apparently, it's rare, but it runs in the Trump family.
A philosophy that turns you into that person is a bad philosophy.
The philosophy that makes you that person is a bad philosophy.
I'm not being pontificating.
You know, you don't have to, again, you don't have to like Donald Trump, but there's something terribly wrong, terribly wrong with a philosophy that turns us into people who hate one another in our own country, in a country that we should all love together, that we should all salute together, we should all stand up for the flag together, and then we can argue politics.
But there's something terribly wrong here.
And the Democrats, the left, has created it and their media has created it, which is another good reason why you should get the ReadyWise foods.

Oh, how?
Please tell me how.
Do you spell Klavin?
It's K-L-A-V-A-N.
There are no Es in Clavin.
I just make it, I just make it look this easy.
All right.
You know, a couple of things.
I'll talk about this post office thing a little bit.
It's a flash in the pen.
It's just the stupidest conspiracy theory, but I'll talk about it later, maybe, if I think about it.
But I want to talk about stuff that happened after I left on Thursday, this Middle East peace thing.
Hilarious.
This is a hilarious thing.
This deal between the United Arab Emirates and Israel that was engineered by Jared Kushner and Donald Trump with Donald Trump taking a very strong hand and getting Bibi Netanyahu, who loves him, to the table.
Unbelievable.
It is unbelievable.
This would be an instant Nobel Prize for anybody.
They gave Barack Obama a Nobel Prize for being Barack Obama, and then he left the Middle East in flames.
He inherited a Middle East.
Obama inherited a Middle East where the fighting had stopped, and he left a Middle East in flame being run by ISIS in a camp the size of Ohio surrounded by posts with heads on top of them, people being killed.
That's the Middle East Obama left.
And now look, I mean, look at this.
This is incredible.
Again, Trump is a bumptious guy.
He can get on people's nerves.
I know it.
But what does he have to do before people start to go, one of them is burning down my cities and the other one is bringing peace to the Middle East.
I'm telling you, by the time this administration is over, so help me, they're not going to just cure the Chinese flu because it's a coronavirus and the cold is a coronavirus.
They're going to cure the common gold.
And it's going to be, CNN is going to be going on, well, the cold was a good thing.
You know, this is a conspiracy that Donald Trump has destroyed.
These austere religious scholars that happen to be germs and he destroyed them.
What are they going to do?
What does the guy have to do?
But anyway, this is a big deal.
There hasn't been a peace deal, I don't think, ever between, I mean, I guess they had the Egypt deal for which Jimmy Carter was given the Nobel Peace Prize.
But this is a very big deal because it could change and because of a lot of things.
You know, the press is selling this.
The press is selling this deal as if, oh, this has been in the works for 10 years.
Crap.
Okay.
This is not in the works for 10 years.
The reason this happened, it's all because of Obama.
They keep saying, well, Obama had a lot to do with this.
He did.
He screwed up so badly in the Middle East that the Arabs are going, whoa, we're all going to die if we don't make common cause with Israel.
By having this stupid, idiotic Iranian deal, by having this Iranian deal where basically they said, oh, wait 10 years.
Here's $150 billion on a platter.
We'll give you all this money to start terrorist activities around the world.
You can do that.
It's your money anyway, so we'll give it back to you because that's only fair.
And so you pay some terrorists off to do their thing.
And then don't build a nuclear weapon for 10 years and we'll give me another Nobel Peace Prize, Obama another Nobel Peace Prize, and then I'll be gone.
And then you can just blow up the entire region.
That was the deal.
That was the peace deal.
Everybody kept saying, well, they're obeying the deal.
It was 10 years, 10 years, it goes by like that.
And then they got a bomb.
So Trump pulls out of this and it paved the way for a lot of people in the Arab world to say, wait a minute, Iran is taking over the region.
We have got to stick together and we've got to, our enemy, our enemy's enemy can be our friend and we've got to stick together.
And this is what paved the way for Jared Kushner to make this deal.
The national security advisor, Robert O'Brien, made this point.
This is cut four.
They took that money and engaged in proxy wars in Iraq and Syria and Lebanon and Yemen and other parts of the Middle East.
And so I think getting out of the JCPOA was the predicate for this fantastic deal between UAE and Israel.
And look, the only people, yeah, you had Thomas Friedman coming out with an unqualified endorsement of the UAE-Israel deal, which I never thought I'd see President Trump being endorsed by Thomas Friedman on this deal and David Ignatius and others.
I think the only people that were against the deal were the Ayatollah and maybe Ben Rhodes.
But this happened because we got out of the JCPOA, not because we should have stayed in it.
Let me remind you that Ben Rhodes was the Obama aide who went to the New York Times, who said to the New York Times in an interview, all these newspapers used to have foreign bureaus.
He was telling about how they sold this crappy Iran deal to the press because it was easy because it was Obama, so he could do no wrong.
But he said, all these newspapers used to have foreign bureaus, now they don't.
They call us to explain to them what's happening in Moscow and Cairo.
Most of the outlets are reporting on world events from Washington.
The average reporter we talked to is 27 years old, and their only reporting experience consists of being around political campaigns.
That's a sea change.
They literally know nothing.
He was laughing at them.
He was laughing and he was saying to the New York Times, you guys are idiots.
You don't know anything.
We can sell you anything, even this stupid Iran deal.
And here's the New York Times reacting to this peace treaty from Trump.
If the pullback from annexation was presented as some kind of a bomb for the Palestinians, because Netanyahu agreed to delay annexing more land, though he said it's not off the table, he says if the pullback was presented as some kind of a bomb for the Palestinians, many of them considered it instead a stab in the back.
The deal was a diplomatic coup for Israel, but it ruptured decades of professed Arab unity around the Palestinian cause.
That's because the Palestinian cause is crap.
After World War II, millions and millions and millions of people were displaced.
Borders were withdrawn, were redrawn.
Were Jews displaced after World War II?
Yeah, the ones who survived were millions of Jews displaced, borders redrawn.
Only the Palestinians remain a problem.
Why?
Because they knew the Arabs knew they could use them as leverage against Israel.
They could have absorbed them into Jordan.
They could have absorbed them into the surrounding countries.
They didn't on purpose because they knew the left is so anti-West and so stupid that they would fall for the idea that these were victimized people.
The only victims of World War II.
The Jews, I mean, the Jews.
Come on.
Name one bad thing that happened to the Jews during World War II.
The only victims of World War II, of this transition, were the Palestinians, and they knew they could sell to the left the idea that these brown people were being displaced by Western powers by establishing the state of Israel, which is the size of a shoebox, which wasn't even, they weren't even given the land that they were promised.
They were given this little sliver of land, which they have extended by defending it against attack.
The Palestinian cause is garbage.
They could be absorbed into the Arab world and taken care of.
Instead, they're sold.
You know, it's not their fault, by the way.
It's not the people's fault.
It's the leader's fault.
They're sold this narrative, oh, the olive tree, this olive tree that you loved so much back in Israel, your grandfather loved so much in Israel, until you have that back again.
You're not being treated well.
You know, you can do this to anybody.
You can pollute the minds of any people by telling them perennially that they're victims.
You may think we have seen that in our own country.
We have.
So here is Jared Kushner talking about how Donald Trump actually helped do this and why it went so well.
When President Trump moved the embassy to Jerusalem, a lot of people criticized and says, well, he didn't ask for anything in return.
And President Trump's point of view on that was that, first of all, you don't have to get something for keeping your promise.
You shouldn't be getting something for doing the right thing.
You should just do the right thing.
But what he got out of that, which very few foreign policy experts saw, was he got the trust of the Israeli people and he got the trust of Israel.
It showed that he was doing things for the right reasons.
And that trust has enabled him to get Israel to make some tougher decisions that they wouldn't have made otherwise, perhaps under a different administration.
And obviously with the United Arab Emirates, they felt very betrayed by America with the past administration.
The Iran deal was a terrible betrayal of the region.
And American leadership in the region had really pulled back.
If you think about America's foreign policy interests in the Middle East, previously, it was about energy.
And under President Trump's leadership, America is now energy independent as a country.
So that's greatly reduced our dependence on the Middle East, which is critical.
You know, it's amazing stuff that the stuff that Trump did, moving the embassy, making sure that we were energy independent, gave us the power to do this.
And also, Kushner deserves a lot of credit because Kushner went in with a new idea.
He said, instead of paying attention to the Palestinian, this age-old feud that you've got going, let's pay attention to your future.
Let's pay attention to your economy.
Let's pay attention to getting trading with Israel, which is a very highly advanced company.
B.B. Netanyahu makes this point himself and also talks about the fact that this peace could spread.
I think the Arab countries are coming around to see that they can't be held hostage by the Palestinians.
They have their own interests to develop peace with Israel, to exchange technology, to exchange things like the corona vaccine development, health, infrastructure, energy, all the wonders of Israeli technology and entrepreneurship that you see both in the Gulf states and especially in the Emirates and in Israel.
And if we join forces, we can do wonderful things, limitless things for the benefit of our people, for their well-being, and for their security.
So he's talking about spreading this through the Middle East and he's making an offer of friendship.
It could work out well for everybody.
You know, I don't like, I know you don't like to hear me criticize Donald Trump, but I have to say he is the worst Hitler ever.
I mean, this guy who we kept being told he's Adolf Hitler.
You know, I wonder if black voters would consider the fact that Donald Trump is the Adolf Hitler who has helped the Jews more than any president of the United States ever.
I wonder if they might think that maybe he's also the Ku Klux Klansman who would help the blacks.
If people would just stop listening to this dream world in the press and start looking with their own eyes, Donald Trump would look a lot different and this election would look a lot different.
I don't know if they will.
All right, you've been waiting for it.
It's time to say rockauto.com.
It is one of our favorite things about rockauto.com.
Never mind the great prices on all the great auto parts that you can get from rockauto.com.

Write Clavin.
You got to say it the same way, Clavin in there.
Did you hear about us box?
So they know we sent you.
And also in the box that says, how do you spell Klavin?
Because they want to know it's K-L-A-V-A-N.
We're dealing with, I mean, I can't say it enough.
We're dealing with reality versus the press.
I mean, it is this fantasy in the press.
And why do we pick?
You know, it's funny.
I love Molly Hemingway over at the Federalist, and she sometimes on Fox, and she's just great.
And she's, I see her going through a process that I've gone through years ago where you start to watch the press and go, how can they lie?
They're lying.
It's all a lie.
Everything is a lie.
How do you, you know, and you start to go a little nuts.
And why do we pick on the press when it seems like that's an ancillary issue?
It's because it's not an ancillary issue.
It doesn't really matter when Trump says something nasty about the Democrats or the Democrats say something nasty about Trump.
If we're on the Republican side, we say, oh, those Democrats are so nasty.
If you're on the Democrat side, you say, oh, those Republicans, the things they say.
That's politics.
That's the way politics is supposed to work.
The referees are supposed to stay neutral.
It's one thing to say, oh, the Patriots, you know, they had a deflated ball, so it was easier to grip the ball and easier to throw it.
That's bad, but it's not as bad as the refs saying, well, we like the Patriots, so we're not going to talk about that.
We're not going to pay any attention.
We're not going to do it.
And that's the problem with the press.
Our refs are bad.
Our refs are corrupt.
And Trump says this.
He says, I'm not running against Joe Biden.
How could he be running against Joe Biden?
Joe Biden won't even come out of his basement.
Here's Trump saying who his real opponent is, cut eight.
According to most of the real people, not the fake news and this press that we're running against, because my biggest opponent isn't Biden.
It's not the Democrats, it's the corrupt media.
We have a corrupt media in this country, the likes of which nobody's ever seen before.
It's really true.
Conspiracy Theories Dissected 00:11:27
I mean, I've never seen anything like this.
The press has always been corrupt.
It's always been bad.
But now it's stupid, first of all, because so many of them have been fired and so many of the old business models have collapsed.
And this happened.
I was there when this happened.
I was in the press when this happened, when they started to come in and say, no, we've got to be relatable.
That was the word, relatable.
You've got to be relatable.
You got to talk about the things that people are talking about, not about the things that you think are important.
And, you know, I would have these fights with people.
I say, no, you've got to tell them about what their budget is.
You got to tell them what happened here and what happened there so they know how to vote.
It's not about entertaining them.
You can get entertainment elsewhere.
But that model had collapsed.
And it collapsed as, of course, cable news came in and all these other competitors to the networks came in.
But Trump points out that he doesn't, you know, he doesn't have to worry about Biden.
This is cut seven.
Somebody like Biden, he doesn't know what to do.
He doesn't come out because he can't.
He doesn't take any questions from reporters.
I keep saying to my people, you know, here I am getting bombs thrown at me every day by people that are totally, you know, frankly dishonest reporters.
But I'm getting, you know, they're espousing the view of the radical left.
But here I have bombs every day, every day, every day, and do a good job in handling it.
That's why my polls have gone up 10 or 12 points.
His polls have gone up a couple of points anyway.
It is narrowing.
But, you know, now the Democrat Convention is going to start.
So just a week, a week of rapture in the press.
I mean, it's gotten so it's gotten comical.
It has gotten ridiculous.
I love the fact that I think the theme of the Democrat Convention is uniting America.
It's like uniting America and hating one another.
We want the gays to hate the straits, want the blacks to hate the whites, we want the women to hate the men, and then we'll all be united in hating everybody.
It'll be great.
It's uniting America.
And then we'll burn down your cities.
And by the way, nobody can leave his house and has to wear a mask.
If he does, you know, it's going to be great.
I like the fact that Trump is solving the problems in the Middle East.
It really is his policies that are doing this.
And okay, you can say it's Mike Pompeo and it's Jared Kushram, but it's under Trump's administration.
His policies are doing this.
He's solving the problems in the Middle East and they're going, and wear a mask, because if you go out without a mask, everybody can see your face, and then they get sick.
It's terrible.
These are two parties.
I just want to show you something.
I came across this, I guess, on Grabian, but to me, it is the press in a nutshell.
Remember crazy Mika Brzezinski on the Morning Joe show, right?
She had the affair with Joe and then they got married.
It's like a drama.
It's like a drama on the show.
She went off on Trump.
And you got to listen to this carefully because it really is an amazing thing.
Here's her indictment of Donald Trump.
There's clear disdain that I have for this president, but look at the facts.
Look at how he's worn us down from his paid-off porn star to Russia lies to racism in Charlottesville, racism across the board, children in cages.
I mean, lie after lie after lie conspiracy theories.
Our country right now is really at a breaking point.
If we don't find a way to hold this president accountable with his attempts to undermine the post office and also his apparent negligence, perhaps purposeful, on saving the American people's lives in this pandemic.
I got to take this apart.
We got to unpack this for a minute.
The lie after lie after lie.
And the conspiracy theories, you know, like conspiracy theories, like the president purposely wants people to die of the Chinese flu.
He's actually saying it's like all these conspiracy theories.
And here the president is sitting up in Mount Trump, you know, and the lightning flashing and the dark clouds are gathering over the little grotto that he lives in on Mountain Trump.
And he's planning the deaths of the American people by the Chinese flu.
Let's just go through her list, all right?
Paid off porn star, absolutely.
That was really bad for the country.
I know that in my life, the fact that Trump paid off a porn star to keep her quiet, that really made a big difference in my life.
I mean, I was doing great before that.
My business was running well.
I was happy.
My marriage was good.
And then when I found out that Trump had paid off a porn star, because I didn't know when I voted for Donald Trump that he slept with everything in sight.
I didn't know that.
That was a big revelation that the guy who wrote in his book that he was sleeping with everything, I voted for him for his moral stance on adultery.
Okay, but that at least is real.
That's real.
Then she says, Russian lies.
What were the Russian lies?
For three years, three and a half years, Morning Joe and every other outlet that is connected in any way to the Democrats, which is all of them except maybe the Wall Street Journal, maybe Fox News.
Every single outlet ran with this Russian story.
They led with it every day.
They led with it every day.
And now that it's coming apart and now that Durham is guiding some of the people, one of the people who's pled guilty, we'll talk about that.
Suddenly it's gone.
It's off the news.
So what Russian lies?
Whose Russian lies?
What is she talking about?
She talks about racism in Charlottesville.
What does that mean?
It means this absolute hoax, a complete, total, thoroughgoing hoax that Donald Trump said there are good people on both sides, meaning, and by saying that, that he meant the white supremacists and the Antifa people.
First of all, those two sides are the same side as far as I'm concerned.
They're both dirtbags, violent dirtbags.
I want nothing to do with them.
And he said, I'm not talking about the white supremacists.
They should be condemned completely.
He said it in the same speech.
So whose racism is it?
Whose lies are it?
Whose lies are they?
They're hers.
They're Mika's as she's talking, as she's condemning him.
She's condemning herself.
It is an absolute, it is the press in a nutshell.
Then she talks about racism across the board.
What racism?
Trump created more jobs for black people than any president ever has.
If we get through this thing, if he can convince the states to start opening up again, which they will no matter who wins the election, they'll finally cave in.
A lot of this stuff is manufactured.
But still, you know, what racism?
What racism across the board?
Children in cages.
Those children were in those cages during the Obama administration.
It only became an issue during the Trump administration.
Conspiracy theories.
I mean, again, what conspiracy theories?
Russia collusion?
Charlotte, everything she said is a conspiracy theory.
And this thing with the post office, I mean, I just, these are these things I hate.
You know, you hate to cover this.
When the Ukraine scandal, so-called, started, I could barely bring myself to cover it.
And they actually parlayed that into an impeachment.
Of course, it was an impeachment only by one party.
It was absolutely ridiculous.
It was absolutely absurd.
But the fact that they actually parlayed it into that meant I had to talk about it.
But I was thinking, this is stupid.
This is a stupid story.
It's the same thing with this.
The Postal Service said that basically they were not set up to handle universal mail-in voting in the way that it needed, that it would have to be handled if suddenly, within days of the election, we suddenly declared nobody's going to the polls.
First of all, Fauci, their hero, their God, the guy that they love more than anything, he says it's perfectly safe to go vote.
Here's what he said.
I think if carefully done according to the guidelines, there's no reason that I can see why that not be the case.
For example, you know, when you look at going to a grocery store now in many regions and counties and cities that are doing it correctly, they have X's every six or more feet.
And it says, don't leave this spot until the person in front of you left their spot.
And you can do that if you go and wear a mask, if you observe the physical distancing and don't have a crowded situation.
There's no reason why you shouldn't be able to do that.
So they've ginned up this entire thing that in order for people to vote, because nobody wants to vote for Joe Biden, nobody's going to walk down the street to Joe Biden.
You know, if you had to go vote for Joe, if you felt you hated Trump so much that you would actually vote for this ventriloquist dummy and something good was on TV or something bad was on TV or nothing was on TV and you just wanted to sit in a room and stare into space.
Wouldn't you do that instead of going down to the polls to vote for Joe Biden?
His enthusiasm, the enthusiasm level of Joe Biden voters is at minus 10.
I mean, people are like, you know, you know, they're telling pollsters, yeah, I'll vote.
I got it.
Maybe, maybe, I don't know.
So they want you to be, they want it as easy to be you.
They want you to be able to whisper the word Biden out the window and have it count as a vote.
And Trump's right.
It is absolutely a setup for corruption.
It's not the same thing as absentee ballots where I say, I can't get to the polls or I want this.
And then you send it.
When you send this out universally, it is just asking for corruption, which of course the Democrat Party has been doing for 100 years, manipulating votes.
So the whole thing is nonsense.
And it's not right.
It is not right to have these constant conspiracy theories that the left has been perpetrating now for four years.
And it would be okay if only they did it.
But it's when the refs do it.
It's when the referees do it in the press that make it worse than what it has to be.
So a lot of you complained about the Clavenless weekend, and there's nothing I can do about that.

Americans On the Side of America 00:10:53
So continuing with the Democrat National Committee theme of uniting America, I can't believe that they have the goal.
The goal to that.
You've got to give them, you know, you've got to give them some credit for gall.
You have to give them credit for just brazen, you know, complete disregard of your intelligence.
And it is amazing, you know, what you can do with a dysfunctional Providence-style press.
I mean, if the press is going to bury this stuff, you know, you're going to have a country where they don't know what's going on anymore.
And that really is what's happening.
And I talk to, I don't get to talk to as many leftists as I would like, or even liberals as I would like, but they really don't know anything.
This thing that Reagan said, where it's not that they don't know anything, it's that everything they know is untrue, really is the case.
I mean, it really is, just on the basis of facts.
You've got the cities continuing to collapse.
Absolutely, you know, because of this conspiracy post office conspiracy theory.
They're actually going outside the new postmaster general's house and his apartment, and they're demonstrating there, which was really dirty pool.
You shouldn't do that in America.
There was a guy beaten unconscious in a riot in Portland.
There are Black Lives Matter people showing up in residential areas and screaming, give us your homes, because they belong to black people.
They deserve, you know, black people deserve them.
I mean, these are people who, in a lot of ways, have been brainwashed into thinking, you know, like the Palestinians, into thinking that they're not the masters of their own fate.
That somebody has to do something for them for there to be justice.
That something has been taken away from them that has to be given back before they can live as ordinary people.
And it's just not true.
It's just not true.
You know, it is true there has been racism in this country.
It is true that at one point, in my lifetime, the racism was systemic.
That is, it was built into the systems of America.
That has been purged out.
Maybe even beyond the point where it's fair to purge it out, where people are being penalized for not towing the line of Black Lives Matter, which I won't.
I think Black Lives Matter is a horrible terrorist organization with Marxist, anti-family, anti-American agenda.
And they came up with this brilliant idea of having this slogan that you can't disagree with, because of course all lives matter.
You can't disagree with their slogan, but in fact, that they're fascist, basically.
They're racist.
They're violent.
On their website, they put forward Marxist policies that have enslaved people wherever they're tried.
They're against the family, which is the one thing that the black community needs more than anything else is they need intact families which have been destroyed by Democrat welfare policies.
It's an awful thing.
It's an awful thing.
And it's not just, look, there are always radicals.
There are always people who march.
There are always people who commit violence.
The terrible thing is the people in the government who are supporting them and the people in the press as well.
The people, the mayor of Seattle saying it's going to be a summer of love.
Here is Ianna Presley.
I mean, this is truly, it should be an impeachable offense.
You should be removed from office.
Here is one of the, what do they call them, the squad in Congress.
Here's what she had to say about this.
This is as much about public outcry and organizing and mobilizing and applying pressure so that this GOP-led Senate and that these governors that continue to carry water for this administration, putting the American peoples in harm's way, turning a deaf ear to the needs of our families and our communities, hold them accountable.
Well, make the phone call, send the email, show up.
You know, there needs to be unrest in the streets for as long as there's unrest in our lives.
And unfortunately, there's plenty to go around.
There needs to be unrest in the streets for as long as people are doing things we disagree with that we can categorize as racist.
Obviously, it's all nonsense, but it's just, you know, you can be a revolutionary or you can be a congresswoman, but I don't think you should be both.
I think if you are paid money by the taxpayers to govern this country, that telling people to go out into the streets and riot and create unrest is really not your job, and it is the opposite of your job.
Your first job is protecting people's homes.
But again, I was talking about this last week.
They don't consider the country to be built of normal people.
They consider the country only to be there to serve the outliers, the people that they think are oppressed, the people who are living in the streets, the people who think that they can do something by rioting instead of saying, oh, I don't know, marrying the people who have their babies or getting an education or making sure their kids get an education.
I mean, every time, I'm sorry, but every time people say to me, what are you doing for me?
My question is, what are you doing for you?
I'm doing stuff for me.
You do stuff for you.
I'm not here.
I mean, maybe out of charity, you could ask me for charity if you need it, but why do you need it?
What's going on in your life that you're not building a life like everybody else in America has done through the centuries?
Every single person who has come here from other countries has faced some kind of bigotry.
Catholics have faced bigotry.
Jews, obviously.
If they're going to be reparations, by the way, if they're fair reparations where the people who were hurt most and had most prejudice against them get the money, everybody should just give all their money to the Jews.
They've done more than anything.
So you've got that.
And then you've got this stuff that happened on Obama's watch, with Obama's knowledge, almost certainly, where they investigated President Trump over a Russian collusion case they knew was false.
They knew it was bunkum, and they kept pressuring it, pressing it, pressing it, and that Mueller investigation that went on for years and produced nothing.
Do you remember the press coming in and saying, oh, it's almost Mueller Day.
It's going to be like Christmas.
I have a little candle with Robert Mueller on it, and I'm praying to Robert Mueller.
And then they came out and they were crying on MSNBC when he didn't indict anybody, when he really came up and said the whole thing was nonsense.
Now it turns out to be even more nonsense.
The first guy to be convicted or, yeah, convicted, he pled guilty.
Kevin Klein Smith, a former FBI lawyer, is going to plead guilty to falsifying a document to justify surveillance of Faisal Warren on Carter Page of the Trump campaign.
So he admits that he lied about this, but this guy was an activist.
I mean, remember Devin Nunes or Nunes or Ninez or Nunu, whatever his name is.
He talks about this.
You know, he mentions this, that he calls him the French-speaking guy because he said, viva la resistance.
This happened when somebody asked Klein Smith if he was going to leave the Trump administration.
He said, absolutely not.
I want to be here to be the resistance.
He said, viva la resistance.
Here's Devin Nono or Nine talking about this.
This is the attorney that I always called the French-speaking attorney.
He was the one that said viva la resistance when he was asked, is he going to quit?
He was also very concerned about whether or not his name was on a lot of these documents.
So he clearly knew that he had a problem right after the election.
I think that Durham is letting him off extremely easy.
There's multiple indictments that could have been brought, probably including conspiracy and including destruction of evidence.
So my guess is maybe he's going to cooperate.
Maybe he's not.
But this is a good first step.
You know, and NBC News, Nightly News didn't even cover it.
The other networks did cover it, but only briefly after making this the front page story for three and a half years, the fact that it was not just false, but it was a scam.
It was really an illegal operation.
You know, Matthew Hennessy writes in the Wall Street Journal today that if Biden win promises a mood swing, that everything, all your anxieties, all the chaos will disappear.
He says anxieties about imminent fascism will vanish overnight if Biden wins.
Gone will be concerns about democracy dying in darkness, replaced by the media self-congratulation, guys, we did it.
We saved the country.
A Biden victory will be said to demonstrate the resiliency of America's political systems.
You'll stop hearing about foreign meddling in our elections.
Protest cities like Seattle and Portland will return to their regular programming.
The coronavirus won't go away, but the federal government will cease to be the enemy and instead become the vehicle of our salvation.
The sense of relief won't be limited to Democrats.
This is very smart of Hennessy.
So the sense of relief won't be limited to Democrats.
Certain Republican politicians and even Trump supporters may find themselves breathing easier at the realization that they no longer need to explain or defend the things he does.
Before all that happens, can we be honest about the dishonesty of the past four years?
If the Republic is in mortal peril only until the next fellow moves into the White House, it isn't in moral peril.
And those who insisted it was are themselves guilty of the charges they've leveled at Mr. Trump, subverting faith in the constitutional system.
You won't have to listen that closely to hear them change their tune.
We're being held hostage, essentially.
It's a psyop basically trying.
I talked about this four years ago.
I was talking about this from the very beginning: that it's not about each individual story being wrong.
It's about the atmosphere they create, the atmosphere of hysteria, the atmosphere of fear, the atmosphere of just chaos where you just want it to stop.
I have heard smart conservatives saying, you know, at least if Biden comes in, this craziness will stop.
No, it'll just, the craziness will just enter the system.
Instead of being in the air, it'll be in the bloodstream, and it's much harder to get it out.
I'm telling you, this is a test.
It is a test of whether America has bought this story from the press and from the Democrats, which I repeat myself, but it's whether America has bought the story or if America is still, if Americans are still on the side of America.
We've got to stop there, but I'll be back again tomorrow.
