25 babies have been killed thus far at the Democratic National Convention, major liberal outlets joke about President Trump's near assassination, and RFK Jr. is set to drop out of the race.

According to a report from LifeSite News, at least 25 babies have been killed thus far in a Planned Parenthood van at the Democrat National Convention.
It's the most ghastly political stunt I've ever seen.
It's probably the most ghastly political stunt in American history.
But people should not mistake the relatively good times our country has had in its short lifespan as a representative of politics.
Throughout history, pagan societies have regularly practiced infant sacrifice as a matter of political and religious ritual.
The Phoenicians did it in ancient Carthage.
The Aztecs did it in 15th century Tenochtitlan.
The true God prohibits such sacrifice.
But when societies reject the true God, the old false gods come slithering back.
I'm Michael Knowles.
This is The Michael Knowles Show.
A white dude for Kamala has gone viral.
An apparent white dude for Kamala has gone viral for an interview he gave with the BBC at the DNC.
We will get to that in a moment.
First, though, it is that time of year again.
It is.
Mr. Davies, thank you.
What?
No.
Yes.
No, it's not.

Wow, that's out of control.
It is your last chance to get the Sicilian Summer Candle.

It's going to be August 31st.
Then we move on, baby, to the PSL Candle.
That's right.
You know it.
You know what?
Right now, just go to thecandleclub.com.
Get them both.
You get to save the Sicilian Summer before it's totally gone forever.
But then you also get to move on ahead into PSL season, baby.
This is Can I do the rest of the show?
I'm not sure.
Right now, if you join thecandleclub.com, you'll get exclusive perks, 20% off a founding membership, a free founder's box valued at $115, 20% off all candles, and exclusive access to members-only cents.
Can I have a minute, guys?
Can we just... I don't know, I'm not saying we gotta pause the cameras or anything, but can I just...
Wow, man, I was I was a little sad that summer's over, you know, and I didn't we didn't go on vacation this summer, obviously craziness with the new baby and everything.
So but we now I'm glad summer's over, whatever summer dead to me.
We are in PSL season, baby.
Now.
Now I've got to come back down to earth, I've got to go even a little, I'm going to have to puncture my joy and my jubilance because the DNC has been absolutely unbearable.
Beyond, I mentioned the most horrific story earlier, beyond the infanticide, the most offensive part of the DNC thus far Came last night, and it wasn't any of the politicians speaking, and it wasn't any of the Hollywood celebrities.
The DNC trotted out this young woman, Amanda Gorman, who is the slam poetess of official laureate status within the Democrat Party.
She read a poem at the Biden inauguration, and she did this slam poetry routine last night.
We gather at this hallowed place because we believe in the American dream.
Put a pause right there.
We will get on with some more of the poem in a moment.
She said, we're gathered at this hallowed place and I couldn't, when I heard it, I thought, okay, the word she's looking for is hallowed.
Hallowed means consecrated or holy.
You know, Abraham Lincoln speaking at Gettysburg, this hallowed ground.
We cannot consecrate it any more than these men have.
It's this image of holiness.
But she said hallowed, like emptied out.
And I couldn't tell if she were making some abstruse play on words here about Wherever they are, this convention center in Chicago, but the convention center in Chicago is neither hallowed nor hollow.
It'd be one thing if she were speaking at the National Mall or at the White House or something.
She could say this is hallowed ground at some temple or some church would make more sense, but it was neither that nor is it hollow other than, you know, it wasn't a solid block like there were people inside.
Then it got me thinking, okay, is it more likely that she's making some play on words that the meaning of which is not clear to anyone, or does the chief poetess of the Democrat Party and the liberal establishment actually just not know the difference between those two words?
Is the chief literary figure in Democrat politics, does she just not really have a great grasp on the English language?
And it would appear to me The latter.
She goes on.
We face a race that tests if this country we cherish shall perish from the earth, and if our earth shall perish from this country.
It falls to us to ensure that we do not fall for a people that cannot stand together, cannot stand at all.
I'm standing here doing this show.
Hunter Biden's doing a lot of blow.
I look over there at Vice President Tim.
His pronouns are he, him, but not all of us.
We trust that we can do poetry, you dig me?
I'm just going to read the words of Harold Bloom, a liberal literary critic, one of the most famous literary critics of the 20th century, a famous Yale professor, who many years ago said of slam poetry, I can't bear these accounts I read in the Times and elsewhere of these poetry slams in which various young men and women in various late spots are declaiming rant and nonsense at each other.
The whole thing is judged by an applause meter, which is not actually there, but might as well be.
This isn't even silly.
It is the death of art.
That was what bugged me so much.
There was a bunch of nonsense.
We'll get to a few of the speeches and what the politicians said at the DNC, but this was more depressing to me because it signifies not merely the death of American politics, but the death of American letters.
You would say, okay, politicians are always a little bit windy, and politicians are always a little bit cynical, and okay, that's nothing new there.
But at least there might be some remnant of men and women of letters, you know, of cultural figures who understand language and literature.
And to say nothing of philosophy and ethics, no.
No, the chief literary figure, exalted by the left in recent years, does not know the meaning of basic English words and cannot muster works of art greater than rap music of the 1990s.
You know, really, really sad stuff.
Then the politicians come up.
Bill Clinton showed up there.
Good old Bubba.
And you know, I'm no Bill Clinton fan.
I think the man is probably rotten to the core.
However, I thought he gave basically the best speech of the DNC.
I urge you to talk to all your neighbors.
I urge you to meet people where they are.
I urge you not to demean them, but not to pretend you don't disagree with them if you do.
Treat them with respect, just the way you'd like them to treat you.
If you vote for this team, if you can get them elected, and let them bring in this breath of fresh air, you will be proud of it for the rest of your life.
Bill Clinton's speech got really negative reviews.
I saw all the pundits talking about how he's lost it and he's not what he once was.
I had completely the opposite reaction.
Sure, he's a little older, he sounds a little weaker in his voice.
I thought, Bubba's still got it, man.
I thought, no matter how rotten you think this guy is, there is no denying his riz.
And I thought, his speech Achieved what Kamala Harris was hoping to achieve by picking Tim Walz as her running mate.
Namely, it was a normal, older white guy going out there and reassuring normal people that this lunatic Democrat Party that's slaughtering dozens of babies in the parking lot and castrating its members, that this Democrat Party is actually something worth voting for.
That it's normal to vote for this Democrat Party.
That it's hopeful.
That it's the sort of thing you'll be proud of.
Bill Clinton, when he hit the scene, he was running for president in 92.
He was called a boy from Hope.
Here's a boy from Hope because he's from Hope, Arkansas.
And Clinton really did live up to that in his rhetoric, not in his actions, but in his rhetoric.
We're going to build a bridge to the 21st century.
That's right.
I feel your pain.
We're all going to come together.
I'm going to bring a lot of people together, actually.
Yeah, we're going to love that togetherness.
But he can make you feel good and hopeful and respectable.
So he comes at the first line.
It wasn't even in that clip.
He says, don't you feel proud to be a Democrat?
Sure, a lot of people don't feel proud to be a Democrat right now.
They just had to boot their actual nominee who won all the votes because he's demented and a complete failure as president.
They rigged the thing for this woman so there wasn't really any kind of open democratic process to pick the nominee.
You got infanticide going on outside.
You've got radical protesters.
There's an intifada within the party among the keffia-wearing pro-Palestine people and the pro-Israel wing of the party.
You've got people chopping up their bodies and all sorts of weird sex stuff going on.
And so, no, I think a lot of Democrats right now feel a little bit on edge, especially the more moderate suburban types.
And he says, no, it's okay.
This is something you'll be proud of.
You vote for this breath of fresh air.
Really impressive.
I thought he did very well, considering his age.
Look, Bill Clinton is about the same age as Donald Trump.
And he's a little bit, they're both a little bit younger than Joe Biden.
Okay.
But Clinton and Biden both seem like old men and Trump's out there and he doesn't talk like an old man, he doesn't move like an old man, he doesn't campaign like an old man.
So, you know, I understand that some people can be really vigorous at 78 and some people are less so.
But given his age, I thought Clinton did a good job and I thought he did the best job of anyone at the convention.
And I thought the only way in which he did a bad job is that his very presence highlighted.
How different the Democrat Party is today from what it was in the 1990s.

Another speaker up was Andy Beshear.
Andy Beshear, we heard from him not last night, but the night before.
He is a Democrat governor.
He was considered a possible pick for Kamala's running mate.
He, speaking from the DNC, did an interview with one of the MSNBC ladies, Mika Brzezinski, and he He made maybe the most disgusting comment of any Democrat thus far in this race.
I mean, think about what some people have had to go through because of these laws.
I mean, J.D.
Vance calls pregnancy resulting from rape inconvenient.
Inconvenience is traffic.
I mean, make him go through this.
Yeah, make him go through this.
Let's get one of J.D.
Vance's female relatives raped and impregnated by a rapist, huh?
Am I right?
Yeah, wouldn't that be awesome?
Yeah, let's go out there and make sure people rape J.D.
Vance's female relatives.
What a psycho, man.
What a disgusting person would say that.
This guy's a sitting governor.
He was very nearly the running mate.
Wasn't in the top one or two picks, but he was disgust for Kamala Harris.
She dodged a bullet.
Man, what a horrible run he made.
What a disgusting thing to say.
What a psycho thing to think.
That's your first thought.
A politician comes out there and you want to kill babies.
Your politician opponent thinks that maybe we should not kill babies.
So you have a difference of opinion on the political issue of killing babies.
And your first rejoinder to his argument that maybe we shouldn't kill babies is, yeah, let's get some of your female relatives raped.
What a psycho, man.
But that's how these people think.
This was second only to an article that I saw crop up yesterday.
This was from BuzzFeed.
You wouldn't even, a writer didn't even sign the article.
This is from BuzzFeed and it was promoted on Yahoo Entertainment News.
This is the headline.
This picture of Donald Trump behind bulletproof glass is now an unintentionally hilarious new meme.
Speaking of ignorance of the English language, the journalists and editors at BuzzFeed actually wrote, is now a unintentionally.
So just a little quick lesson here.
When you want an indefinite article before a word that begins with a vowel, you generally make that indefinite article an, so you would say an unintentionally, but the genius editors over at BuzzFeed don't even know that, so they speak like, you know, a foreign child learning.
Unintentionally!
This picture, but let's get to the content of the headline.
This picture of Donald Trump beyond bulletproof glass is now an unintentionally hilarious new meme.
Haha!
LOL!
They tried to murder him and they almost did.
LOL.
Isn't that funny?
They only blew off part of his ear, but they almost blew off the back of his skull.
I read a headline like that.
And I think, well, first thing I notice is these people can't even speak English.
Second thing I think is they want us dead.
What else am I supposed to conclude?
Trump, former president, current leading presidential candidate, comes within a hair's breadth of his head almost being blown off, only because he turned his head at the last minute, inexplicably, if not miraculously.
The Secret Service says, okay, from now on, a lesser man, a normal man, would have said, okay, I'm not doing outdoor rallies anymore.
Really, at this point, probably most men would say, all right, I'm out.
I'm done.
I can't, I can't keep running.
But he says, no, I'm going to keep running and I'm going to do outdoor rallies.
But the Secret Service insists on bulletproof glass.
And the liberal media make fun of him for it.
Ha ha ha.
You need bulletproof glass because we almost blew your head off.
Ha ha ha.
We, the liberal media, who established the premise and the justification for assassinating you because we called you an existential threat to our country and the next coming of Hitler.
Hahaha!
This guy, Andy Beshear.
J.D.
Vance, let's get some of his relatives raped.
Wouldn't that be great?
Wouldn't that be fun?
These people... I don't hate my political opponents.
Really don't.
And you know why I don't hate?
It's not because they don't deserve it sometimes, but it's because it's bad for you to hate people.
And God tells you not to do it.
And we're called to love people.
And this is one of the fruits of the Spirit is charity.
And we're really called to that.
And that's something we ought to pursue.
So even when they do detestable things, I really don't hate my political opponents.
I certainly wouldn't wish death on anyone.
Wouldn't wish raping on anyone.
I wouldn't.
I wouldn't.
Would that cross your mind?
Would that ever cross your mind?
No.
But these people do it.
They do it.
And that's something we just have to grapple with.
How many times do they have to say it?
You saw there were so many prominent Democrats who after the near assassination of Trump came out and said, oh man, next time they better not miss.
That's just a fact.
And so we don't, not saying that necessarily has to change our behavior, but it certainly needs to change our perception of American politics.
These people want you dead.
And it's not just random fringe people, it's the people who write the headlines at the big news outlets.
Speaking of the media, an apparent white dude for Kamala just gave an interview to the BBC at the DNC.
Take a listen.
What brought you out here today?
No, listen.
My name is Noah Shorst.
I use he, they pronouns.
Like, I'm just really excited that we have, like, the first black woman that could be the president of the United States.
And, you know, like, my wife, right?
We're in a polyamorous relationship.
The lover that my wife took is African-American.
And, like, I've learned so much about the struggle that people of color go through as a result of my wife's boyfriend.
And so I'm excited to really do my part to show solidarity for marginalized communities.
And, like, the best way to do that is To get the first woman of color to be the commander-in-chief, and I'm really excited.
I'm so pumped.
Were you this pumped and excited when Joe Biden was the nominee?
I mean, listen, like, I would go for a corpse over voting for Donald Trump because he's a disgusting fascist white supremacist pig.
But now, like, you know, we get to really make history.
We have.
Like I said, we have the first woman of color to be president of the United States.
Our country was founded on the values of diversity, equity, and inclusion.
And in Kamala Harris, nothing embodies those values more than a Kamala Harris presidency.
So I'm pumped.
I'm ready.
I am so excited.
I'm a proud white dude for Kamala Harris, baby!
Let's go!
is a great bit.
And some people seem to be confused over whether it's a bit or whether it's Ernest.
I think it's a bit.
I think it's pretty clear that it's a bit.
I like the white Kamala shirt with the Rastafarian hat and the mask and everything.
But the reason it's a really good bit is not just 'cause it's ridiculous and silly.
It's because you don't know if it's a bit or not.
And it's not just you.
It's not just a gullible conservative who doesn't know.
Oh, those conservatives are so credulous they don't know.
No, no, no.
The left wouldn't know either.
The BBC reporter.
I'm not sure if that reporter really is from the BBC.
That's how it was reported going viral.
He obviously has a press pass, though.
It's some press person there at the DNC.
And he's listening.
The things that this apparent white dude for Kamala is saying are things the libs have really said.
I'd vote for a dead person over Donald Trump.
I was on Piers Morgan's show when a liberal said that.
I'm in a polyamorous relationship.
The libs talk about that all the time.
BBC, I just googled BBC polyamory.
Couple to thruple how polyamory is becoming a new normal.
BBC's promoting this stuff.
The polyamory, the importance of DEI, all the rest of it.
Everything that guy said is something that liberals have earnestly said frequently and at high levels recently.
It's a great bit, because unless you just have a gut hunch or you're, I don't know, you're kind of tuned into the kind of content this guy makes, you really couldn't know for sure if it's a joke.

Speaking of the line between truth and falsehood, the Kamala campaign has released a new fun video from on the road, and it's a fun video of Tim Walz, running mate, Doug Harris, or whatever, Doug, Kamala Harris's husband, and Kamala Harris, they're in a gas station, a little rest stop on the highway, and they're looking for Doritos.
Give them a sit.
- Give him this it.
- Oh yeah, that's it.
- There you go.
- That's it, that's the whole video.
If you were just listening, Tim Walz, they're in a gas station or a Wawa or something, I don't know, they're in some kind of convenience store, and Doug and Kamala are on one side of the aisle, and then Tim Walz is on the other, and he says, hey, this is it, right, the Doritos?
And Doug says, oh yeah, ha ha, Doritos!
Kamala says, yeah, ha ha, we got Doritos now!
How do you do, fellow normal people?
Don't you just love Doritos and being normal like us?
It's so contrived.
And it's such 2010 energy.
This feels like 2010.
Social media is just taking off.
Politicians, many of whom are just like lizards, you know, with human skin zipped up around them, they decide they're going to try to relate to the normal people.
And so they say, oh, I'm going to post videos on social media, just doing normal stuff, you know?
But it doesn't really check out, right?
The question is, who's filming this?
It's obviously some staffer.
Why is the staffer filming this?
Because it was a setup.
Someone wrote this scene.
Someone scripted this out.
Said, okay, this is gonna be really compelling content.
Tim, you're gonna go pretend to be looking for Doritos, and then you're gonna find them, even though Kamala and Doug can't find them, and you're all gonna really like Doritos, you know?
Because people, that's like a vice that they like, but it's a vice that's not really a vice.
You know, it's just teeheehee.
I love, you know, I love jelly beans or something.
If they wanted this to be real, And actually compelling.
They would pick a real vice.
So they'd be going in, it'd be Kamala saying like, yo, Tim, pick me up a pack of smokes.
Throw me a tin of Zin over there.
I need to amp up, baby.
Just this idea of, ooh, my naughty indulgence is Doritos.
Give me a break.
I think Kamala's naughty indulgence more likely would be like a box of wine or something, you know?
No one really thinks that's her guilty pleasure.
But it's just so focus grouped.
It's so contrived.
It's so perfectly inoffensive, that it is kind of offensive because it just reminds you these people are totally fake.
Kamala Harris doesn't seem to hold principles on anything.
She's changed her views on every subject.
She then lies and pretends she hasn't changed her views on every subject, Medicare for all, open borders, all the rest of it.
Then you got Tim Walz lied about his military service.
Then you got Tim Walz lied about conceiving his kids through IVF.
That was a bizarre lie, but he just got caught in that one yesterday by the New York Times of all places.
It's all just so fake.
So then because these people don't seem to have any serious convictions, and they don't seem to really have much of a personality even, they just go with whatever is focus group tested and supposedly anodyne.
That's why Kamala Harris, when she gives speeches, she talks about how much she loves Venn diagrams.
She thinks, hey, consultants, what's the least offensive thing in the entire universe?
Well, Kamala, Venn diagrams are pretty inoffensive.
Okay, that's going to be my thing now.
It's just repulsive.
It's repulsive because it's offensive.
It's offensive because it's insulting our intelligence.
This is just how these people really are.
Now, in some other ways, I don't want to be too harsh on the Kamala campaign because in some ways the campaign has been pretty smart.
Night two of the DNC, night two and night three, showed you a shift in the campaign message.
Previously, the Democrats had been campaigning on democracy.
Now the campaign is focusing on freedom.
This is from the Washington Post.
Harris on Monday took the stage for a surprise appearance to the rousing beat of Beyonce's freedom.
Her campaign's unofficial anthem.
She was preceded on stage by a nearly three-minute hype video set to the same song, with the narrator promising freedom from control, freedom from extremism and fear.
Together, the night's speakers referenced freedom more than 100 times.
And on Wednesday, the convention's entire program will be dedicated to the theme, A Fight for Our Freedoms.
It says that Harris's Milwaukee rally on Tuesday night, a part of which was beamed into the Chicago convention, signs reading freedom blanketed the arena.
Do we believe in freedom?
She yelled crowds of thousands screaming back an emphatic yes.
This is a smart shift.
It's dishonest because what the libs are standing for is emphatically not freedom.
You You know, Tim Walz speaks glowingly of communism and socialism.
He imposed a 95% tax on Zen, okay?
Not too much freedom going on there, but also the liberal conception of freedom is totally wrong.
It's the very conception that our Founding Fathers and Framers of our Constitution feared, which is a notion of freedom as being totally disconnected from the moral order.
So really, when they say freedom, what they're talking about is licentiousness.
They're not talking about the true liberty that the Founding Fathers and the Framers and more classical political thinkers talk about.
But it's a smart move for the party, because democracy doesn't work for Kamala.
Joe Biden could plausibly, it's a bit dubious, but it was still plausible.
He could say, I defended freedom, or rather, I defended democracy.
Well, I just had a Joe Biden moment where I confused the words.
I defended democracy.
Donald Trump was a threat to democracy.
He tried to overthrow democracy, but I received 80 bazillion votes in 2020, and I restored democracy.
It's about who the people voted for.
I won the votes.
Democracy doesn't work for Kamala Harris because she's never once received a single vote in a presidential primary when she was running for president.
Not once.
So she, they elected Joe Biden.
Joe Biden became the president.
Then in the Democrat primary in 2024, Joe Biden got all the votes.
And then there was a coup within the Democrat party and they booted Joe Biden.
And then they replaced him with Kamala Harris.
So she can't really claim to stand up for democracy.
But that's okay.
Freedom's even better.
Appeals to people's appetites and lusts and irrational passions.
The stuff we're seeing not just advocated at the DNC, but actually being practiced at the DNC.
Killing babies.
Sacrificing babies on the altar of convenience, on the altar of personal ambition, on the altar of money.
Clipping one's gonads so that one can be sterile and have consequence-free sex, which is also going on in that very same van at the DNC.
The promotion of all manner of disorder and unreason.
That is more appealing.
That's more tempting to people than some abstraction like democracy, which the Democrats don't even really like in practice, because when the people vote for a candidate that they don't like, they scream that it's a threat to democracy.
If the people vote for Donald Trump, that's the undermining of democracy.
If the people vote for Viktor Orban in Hungary, it's the undermining of democracy.
George Maloney in Italy, the Brexit in the UK.
And even if they don't deny the results of the election, they'll say, well, the people only voted for that candidate because they labored under a false consciousness, which is a concept from Marxism.
The people only voted for that candidate because they were duped, and so it's illegitimate.
So democracy is a big problem for them.
Freedom, however?
Yeah, I want you to go do what you want!
You want to kill your baby?
Kill your baby!
You want to do that weird depraved thing with that person who thinks that he's a different kind of person, and you want to teach it all to kids?
Go do it!
Do whatever you want, man!
Woo!
Brat!
It's a brat summer!
That is real brat, I guess.
That's much more appealing.
It's appealing to people who haven't cultivated virtue and who are given to all manner of viciousness, but, you know, that would appear to be, if not the state of the country, at the very least the state of the Democrat Party, so it's going to work for her.
Tim Walz has got to be a little careful talking about freedom.
As the Washington Free Beacon just pointed out, Tim Walz has not only spoken positively of socialism, he famously said, infamously said, that one man's socialism is another person's neighborliness, but he also appears to have extolled the virtues of Chinese communism.
Washington Free Beacon dug up this great old article, Letters from China, Tim Walz told his students that Chinese communism is a system in which everyone shares and gets free food and housing.
There's a direct quote from this article, 1991.
It means that everyone is the same and everyone shares.
The doctor and the construction worker make the same.
The Chinese government and the place they work for provide housing and 14 kilograms or about 30 pounds of rice per month.
They get food and housing.
These remarks were reported in Nebraska's Alliance Times Herald back in November 1991.
Because Tim Walz has spent an inordinate amount of time in China.
He's obviously, he admires the Chinese Communist government.
I don't think that plays very well in Peoria.
If you have this guy, you know, sometimes we overplay it when we say, those Democrats are communists.
Kamala was raised in a Marxist household.
Her father was a prominent Marxist economist, and she's embraced policies that are at the very least rather socialist.
You know, Medicare for all, open borders, all the rest of it.
But Tim Walz seems to be just an out and open commie, extolling the virtues not even just of communism in theory, but of the actual totalitarian Chinese Communist Party.
Tough to talk about freedom.
He's a commie.
I don't know.
I'm really not given to hyperbole in these things, because I think that, well, we shouldn't ascribe every evil to communism, because liberalism is bad, too.
And communism and liberalism are different from fascism, and it's a little different from socialism, and you know, there's nuance in it.
But I think this guy's just a commie, basically.
I think it's pretty much simple as that.
Now, speaking of old white guys shaking up the presidential race, RFK Jr., it is being reported, is slated to drop out of the race as early as this week.
RFK Jr.
has been run for a long time.
Obviously, he's not going to be president, but he might be able to tip the scales to Harris or Trump.
ABC News is saying that sources say that Kennedy is leaning toward endorsing Trump, though no decision is finalized yet.
There was a report last week that Kennedy had made overtures to the Harris campaign, overtures which were rebuffed.
So what do I think about this?
I initially really wanted RFK Jr.
to stay in the race.
And that's because, from the beginning, I've said RFK takes more votes from Biden than he does from Trump.
He'll take votes from both, but he'll take more from Biden than from Trump, because RFK is a liberal in most ways, and he's an alternative for the more independent-minded libs who didn't think they could vote for a vegetable like Joe Biden.
With Kamala in the race, the calculation might change.
Because there are people, I'm not saying many, who, they might not be the most ideological people, their political views might not even be the most coherent, but they're going to look and see Joe Biden not able to string an English sentence together and they'll say, I can't vote for that guy, I guess I'll vote for Trump.
The only people who are undecided at this point are the really non-ideological voters.
They're people who are voting based on looks and sounds and gut feeling.
Well, the look and the sound and the gut feeling changes with Kamala Harris.
Because Kamala, say what you will about her, she's at least able to string together sounds that resemble words that bear some resemblance to an English sentence.
Not always coherent or grammatical, but it gives you the impression of a person with a functioning brain.
So in that case, There might be more to be gained from RFK Jr.
dropping out, and I suspect that's why these conversations are happening now, because we are coming up to the finish line.
Now, speaking of big challenges, Good Ranchers has a big challenge that I need to tell you about.
In the Michael Knowles box, This is the Michael Knowles signature Good Ranchers box.
You will get two 18-ounce bone-in ribeyes.
You will get eight 6-ounce American Wagyu and Angus burger patties, which is the best burger I've ever had in my entire life.
The bone-in ribeyes are absolutely out of this world, too.
Other than going to some extremely high-end steakhouse, I'm not even talking middle-tier, I'm talking extremely high-end, I don't think you're getting burgers like, er, steaks like this anywhere.
The burgers you're not getting anywhere, I don't care how high-end the burger place is.
You'll also get 8 4.5-ounce chicken breasts, 2 14-ounce steakhouse pork chops, 8 3-ounce Italian sausages, and a limited-edition collectible recipe card.
The recipes that we're putting out here, they're not my recipes, okay?
I asked sweet little Elisa, who does most of the cooking around the house, to put out the recipes.
So, you know that I eat like a king.
If you want to eat like me, get the Michael Knowles Good Ranchers box.
My favorite comment yesterday is from MC97GHY.
Use code Knowles, K-N-A-W-L-E-S.
My favorite comment yesterday is from MC97GHY.
It says, Michael, thank you from the UK for covering the ridiculous two-tier policing that is happening over here across the pond.
My pleasure.
You know, I'm something of an Anglophile.
I really, really enjoy when I can get over to the UK.
Love the motherland.
And it pains me to see the motherland overrun by people who have nothing to do with English culture and who are hostile to English culture and then have the UK government Prosecute not the people who are violating the laws coming over there, committing street crimes, stabbing people, but rather prosecute the Englishmen who say they don't like it very much.
The English are such a polite people.
They bear so much with such patience, stiff upper lip, that it pains me to see that from over here across the pond.
Now, speaking of Cabinet Secretaries, presumably that's the sort of thing that RFK is looking for.
Joe Biden and Kamala Harris's Cabinet Secretary, Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo just got caught in a brutal exchange from the DNC on ABC News.
This has to do with the jobs numbers that Harris and Biden have been touting, the jobs numbers that appear to be illusory.
When you hear that, do you potentially think that this new numbers could be a liability for this campaign?
No, when I hear that, first of all, I don't believe it, because I've never heard Donald Trump say anything truthful.
It is, though, from the Bureau of Labor.
I don't, I'm not familiar with that.
Good on the ABC gal for correcting Raimonda.
Hey, you know, there had been all these apparently wonderful glowing jobs numbers, but then they were all revised down, and it looks like actually Biden's and Harris's record on jobs is pretty bad.
What do you have to say to that?
Everything Donald Trump says is a lie, and I... Yeah, but actually those numbers come from the Bureau of Labor.
Biden's Bureau of Labor.
I am not familiar with those numbers.
Well, maybe the Commerce Secretary should be familiar with those numbers.
Isn't that kind of a scandal?
That nobody seems to know anything about what's going on.
This reminds me of when Kamala Harris was doing an interview and a reporter asked her a serious question, which was, hey, how do you explain how you're the most left-wing member of the U.S.
Senate when you were in that body?
You're trying to run to the center now, but you were to the left of Bernie Sanders.
She goes, um, okay, and she starts doing the Kamala cackle, the laugh.
I think that was something Mike Pence said during a debate, and the journalist said, no, it's actually GovTrack, a nonpartisan firm that kind of just monitors positions.
And Kamala just stood there, mouth agape, just, oh, okay.
She kept doing the little laugh.
They have nothing.
And this is also why they have to lean into freedom.
It's why they have to lean into infanticide.
Because to go out there and say, I'm going to improve inflation, I'm going to improve the jobs numbers.
I'm going to improve foreign affairs.
That's the sort of promise that can be measured, and we do measure how the Harris and Biden administration has done over the past three and a half years, and it's done poorly on all of those things.
But if you just go out and say, I'm gonna let you blank, there's really no way to measure that.
Right, because it's just a permission.
It's not a promise.
It's not taking on an obligation or a responsibility.
It's just a permission.
It's a license to do something.
See, I'm going to let you kill all your babies if you want to.
Woo!
No matter how you measure it, she's fulfilled her promise.
The promise of licentiousness.
It's the relation of the word.
You're giving someone a license to do something that you're encouraging, in this case, licentiousness.
So they have to lean into that stuff.
I promise you, if they had a defensible record on any actual, measurable political issue, they would be talking about it at the DNC.
You've heard none of it.
When they try to bring it up, they get caught in lies, so they move on, and it's all just about freedom!
Speaking of confusion at the DNC, this is a story from a couple days ago, but I did want to get to it.
There are a lot of protesters at the DNC, and they don't seem to have a ton of ideological coherence.
So, Frontlines was able to publish some of this video.
You had women marching at the DNC wearing abortion pill costumes.
So, they're dressed up like a poison that kills a mother's child.
But they were surrounded by pro-Palestine protesters.
And also, you can catch in some of the protests the errant pride flag.
Here it is.
Freedom for Palestine!
Freedom for Palestine!
Justice for Palestine!
Justice for Palestine!
Freedom for Palestine!
Freedom for Palestine!
Justice for Palestine!
So you might say, okay, these are independent protests that are just kind of meeting up in the street.
You know, it's a little weird.
What does the kill babies protest have to do with the pro-Palestine protest?
Well, specifically the killing babies of like taking the abortion pill.
What is that?
But they're not totally distinct protests because you look there and the lady in the abortion pill costume is dancing around to the Free Palestine Chants.
And then there's another lady right next to her who's wearing a keffiyeh.
And then, it's been talked about ad nauseum, but what does the rainbow flag protest have to do with the pro-Palestine, pro-Islam protest?
There's no particular ideological coherence on the substance of these protests.
It's all just about what they're trying to destroy.
And what they're trying to destroy is normal, hegemonic, Western, we used to call it Christendom, civilization.
That's what it's about.
So the enemy of my enemy is my friend.
That's why people say, these queers for Palestine, why?
We should send them to Gaza and they'll see how they like it.
These people don't even understand that the radical Muslims don't like them.
No, they probably understand to some degree, in as much as they understand anything.
But really, they just don't care.
Because the enemy of my enemy is my friend.
And so it's just a series of people who are attempting to destroy things.
And most notably, women dressed up as poison.
Poison specifically to kill babies.
Now speaking of drugs, Theo Vaughn.
The comedian has just gone viral for teaching President Trump about cocaine.
I would just do cocaine.
That was really, yeah.
That's down and dirty, right?
Yeah.
But you don't anymore?
No, I don't do it anymore, man.
And I'm not doing it.
Is it too much?
Too much to handle?
Some of the stuff started to get a real rattle in it, too.
I don't know where we were even getting it from in this country.
Yeah, it started to make me feel like I was a mechanic or something.
So the thing you go back to then is alcohol, for the most part.
Right, yeah, but what I want probably is cocaine, but I know that if I have a drink, then it'll give me, it'll like, be like, okay, well, I had a drink, then I can do this.
Is cocaine a stronger up?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
So you're way up with cocaine more than anything else you can think of.
Cocaine will turn you into a damn owl, homie, you know what I'm saying?
You'll be You'll be out on your own porch, you know?
You'll be your own street lamp.
You're fricking... And is that a good feeling?
Well, it's a miserable feeling.
But you do it anyway, just like the guy you were saying with the scotch.
I didn't believe this was a real clip at first.
It looked like it was almost mashed together or AI or something, but I love it.
I love this clip.
And I think it serves a political purpose, a campaign purpose.
But something I love about it just in itself is, You have this, you know, wild comedian type guy talking about doing drugs and irresponsible things, and Trump gently is leading him to the conclusion that that's bad.
Yeah, so what were you doing?
And he's not doing, he's not beating him over the head with it.
He's not moralizing about it.
He's just saying, well, you were doing that?
Wow, that's tough stuff, isn't it?
And you, yeah, homie, I'd feel like a street lamp.
Whatever that means.
Is that a good feeling?
You're talking to your son who's going a little wayward.
Is that a good feeling you like?
No, I didn't like feeling that way.
Yeah, okay, so you're not really doing that anymore now, huh?
But the great political and campaign purpose of this is it reminds you Trump, despite all the reports to the contrary, is actually extremely disciplined.
This is a very disciplined man.
This is a workaholic.
Who dresses impeccably, who is always presentable, put together.
They mock him.
They say, you spend too long combing your hair or something like that.
But he's very disciplined.
He doesn't do drugs.
He doesn't drink.
He joked about this.
He said, I'm probably the only president ever who's never had a beer.
Could you imagine if I had a beer, if I were a drinker, I'd be the worst.
He goes, it's the one good thing you can say about me.
I've never had a beer.
But it's not the one good thing you can say about him.
This is a disciplined guy, and you always hear, okay, maybe he dated a lot of supermodels, it seems.
Okay, that would be one area where he was maybe less disciplined.
But compared to any other politician, ironically, we say Trump, he has no discipline, he goes astray, this, that, and the other thing.
I don't know.
In many ways, and it's really underscored by this conversation, in many ways, this is One of the most disciplined men to sit in the White House, certainly in my lifetime, maybe ever.

Republicans or Nazis, you cannot separate yourselves from the bad white people.
Growing up, I never thought much about race.
It never really seemed to matter that much, at least not to me.
Am I racist?
I would really appreciate it if you left.
I'm trying to learn.
I'm on this journey.
I'm gonna sort this out.
I need to go deeper undercover.
Joining us now is Matt, certified DEI expert.
Here's my certifications.
What you're doing is you're stretching out of your whiteness.
Listen more for you in this field.
Is America inherently racist?
The word inherent is challenging there.
I want to rename the George Washington Monument to the George Floyd Monument.
America is racist to its bones.
So inherently?
Yeah.
This country is a piece of...
White.
Folks.
White.
Trash.
White supremacy.
White woman.
White boy.
Is there a black person around here?
What's a black person right here?
Does he not exist?
Hi, Robin.
Hi.
What's your name?
I'm Matt.
I just had to ask who you are because you have to be careful.
