Most important story.
President Trump's in the cabinet meeting yesterday.
And these cabinet meetings, they drag on and on and on.
They always do, regardless of administration.
Trump is there and he just decides to interject with a rant that I think like, you know, when you, it's Thanksgiving or it's Christmas or you're just going to dinner with your girlfriend's parents and, you know, it says, hey, please don't, please don't get political.
Please, and you say, fine, okay, all right, all right.
I'm not going to get political.
And then you have like one sip of beer and then in my experience, then you do what Trump did in the cabinet meeting yesterday.
And they contribute nothing.
The welfare is like 88%.
They contribute nothing.
I don't want them in our country, I'll be honest with you.
No, I don't want them.
Oh, that's not politically correct.
I don't care.
I don't want them in our country.
Their country is no good for a reason.
Their country stinks.
And we don't want them in our country.
I could say that about other countries, too.
I could say it about other countries too.
We don't want them to hell.
We have to rebuild our country.
You know, our country's at a tipping point.
We could go bad.
We're at a tipping point.
I don't know if people mind me saying that, but I'm saying it.
We could go one way or the other.
And we're going to go the wrong way if we keep taking in garbage into our country.
Elon Omar is garbage.
She's garbage.
Her friends are garbage.
These aren't people that work.
These aren't people that say, let's go.
Come on.
Let's make this place great.
These are people that do nothing but complain.
They complain.
And from where they came from, they got nothing.
You know, they came from paradise and they said this isn't paradise.
But when they come from hell and they complain and do nothing but we don't want them in our country.
Let them go back to where they came from and fix it.
Thank you very much, everyone.
And that's how it goes, by the way, at Thanksgiving, too.
And thank you, Aunt Sally.
The turkey's delicious.
And in addition to that.
But excuse me, Mr. President, what do you really feel about I just when I was a kid, I grew up in the Clinton administration when I was a kid.
Guess take a little bit of the Bush administration, then Clinton, then Bush, then Obama.
And then you just couldn't hear this, even though a lot of people thought it, because the Somalis, for instance, come here and they defraud the taxpayer and they rape people and they discriminate against Christians in towns that were Christian not so long ago and they marry their siblings and they just they.
It's just awful, it's just awful and they contribute nothing to but both parties would have to say, well, you know, I mean listen, there are challenges introduced by immigration and we need to make sure that we wait we, we have the care for the refuge and they are, there are strength and there are diversity and our strength and but also, and Trump just comes out and he says what 70% of Americans think what, probably what 80% of Americans think and what 60% of Americans would like to say,
and he's the only, he goes yeah uh, they're awful, I don't want them here.
They contribute nothing, they're garbage.
I know he's speaking specifically about Ilhan Omar here, so that's a little.
He's not.
He's not calling a whole group of people garbage, it seems to me he's calling.
He's calling a smaller group of people like Ilhan Omar and her direct associates garbage.
We don't want them.
They come here, they say their land is paradise, and yet they.
I can't help but notice they all come here and their country is hell.
Anyway, i'll have the pork chop, thank you, thanks very much.
Yeah, could I have a diet coke?
That right, this is the issue and and it's not look, it's cathartic.
That's why people like this, because he is saying what we're all thinking, which is, which is a big part of the Trump rise, but but it matters actually to the substance of the immigration debate, because he lays it all on the table.
The Somalis, I don't.
I don't even mean to beat up on the Somalis in particular, but they just got caught in a massive fraud scandal and they're funding terrorists.
So let's talk about the Somalis.
They contribute nothing to America.
They bring nothing good.
The only good thing you can say about them is that they are children of god, which is a which is a good, but in terms of immigration, they bring nothing.
So you have to ask, why are we taking them?
Why are we taking in so many of them?
Why are we allowing them to take over whole cities?
Why, and the only, the only explanation is because we feel bad, because we hate our country or we hate ourselves, or we just kind of feel bad, and I okay.
I kind of feel bad for the Somalians too.
What are you going to do?
You're going to take the whole world in.
No, that doesn't make any sense.
If you take the whole world in, that you haven't made anyone else's life better, you've just made.
You've just extinguished America.
But with the Somalis, they're not even a people that we have aggrieved.
You could make the argument we've aggrieved, you know the Apache or something.
We've aggrieved blacks who came over here as slaves.
What the Somalis?
What are you talking about?
We haven't done anything to the Somalis.
We've only ever tried to help the Somalis.
But we can't because they won't help themselves.
So he clarifies that and that this, to me, is the key.
You've some of us called it 10 years ago.
The immigration conversation has moved dramatically to the right it used to be.
Do you support massive illegal immigration or just massive legal immigration?
Now the question is, do you support drastically reducing all migration or do you support deporting naturalized citizens like we have moved that over to Nwindo real far, far over?
There is political reason for Trump to beat up on the Somalis also.
It's just just hilarious when he goes on that rant, because the rant describes a really jarring reality.
Here's just one.
One example.
Had tip to end Wokeness for posting this one around.
Uh, there's this Somali guy who was uh arrested for rape, abducting and raping a 12-year-old girl.
He abducts and rapes a 12-year-old girl.
And then the Al-ishan Islamic Center in St. Paul, Minnesota, St. Paul, Minnesota.
St. Paul's not rolling over in his grave because St. Paul's in heaven, but it's a town named after St. Paul.
And now there's an Al-Ishan Islamic Center there.
This is a letter from July of this year.
It says, dear judge, we, the undersigned members of the Somali community, write this letter to express our strong and heartfelt support of Kalin Lee Deary.
He's the guy who raped and abducted the 12-year-old girl, a member of our community.
Many of us first met Kalini through our shared journey as Somali refugees, arriving in this country with little more than hope and determination to rebuild our lives.
Like so many of us, Kalini has faced the challenge of starting over in a new culture.
Just stop it right there.
Stop it right there.
The thing goes on.
Oh, he's a devoted family man.
He occasionally abducts and rapes a 12-year-old girl, but he's a devoted family man.
But just stop it right there after this.
Look, here's the excuse.
He has to adjust to a new culture.
You know, in our culture, we abduct and rape 12-year-old girls.
In your culture, I guess you don't do that.
And we, look, we want to be good Americans and we're going to, I get, we're going to try to adapt, but you got to give us time.
We're not going to stop abducting and raping 12-year-old girls all of a sudden.
You can't expect that of us.
We're from a different culture.
And frankly, how dare you judge our culture?
Okay.
What gives you the right?
Where do you get off judging our culture?
It's cultural erasure trying to tell you, get up on your high horse.
Oh, you need to pay your taxes and register to vote and don't abduct and rape children.
Oh, how dare you?
How dare you?
That's what they're saying.
I remember I was in school and I was having a debate with a very, very liberal friend of mine, very feminist, very liberal, probably wouldn't call me a friend anymore, but we were having this debate.
And at the time, there was this conversation about how there was a rape culture on campuses.
You might remember this was 10, 15 years ago.
There's a rape culture on campuses.
People were trying to argue that, you know, Harvard Yard was more dangerous for women than Botswana or something.
So there's a rape culture.
And it was just because the liberals and the feminists didn't want to admit that hookup culture and promiscuous sex was bad.
So they had to find a way to make it a crime or rape, but it was never tried in court.
It was always tried by these kangaroo courts of professors.
And it was this real jumbled knot that they twisted themselves in because they were hoisted on the petard of the sexual revolution.
In any case, they said that there's a rape culture here.
But at the same time, they would say, we can't judge any other culture.
Look, there's cultural relativism.
No culture is better than any other culture.
All cultures are different.
We need to respect all cultures.
And so the obvious follow-up was, well, if we have to respect all cultures, don't we have to respect rape culture?
How dare you?
The feminists, you know, clutch their pearls.
But it's not just a provocative question.
It's quite pertinent because Somalia is a rape culture.
Africa, the African continent is a rape culture.
They rape people there a lot in the Middle East and the subcontinent.
That's what they do.
And so we don't like that, right?
We have a different culture.
Well, that means that when we, if we take in immigrants, we need to exclude or severely restrict the people that we come from cultures that are discordant, that don't, that don't match up.
Now, speaking of victims, this is a story not out of Somalia, and happily not out of the United States, but it's out of the UK.
A woman was assaulted, physically assaulted by a man, very severely injured and assaulted by a man.
She then sent a text that called the man a finouk, called him a poof, called him a little light in the loafers.
You know what I'm talking about?
A little text that suggested he was the kind of guy that had a long handshake.
You know what I mean?
She called him gay, but she used a slur.
And so the police get involved.
Do they get involved to arrest the guy who beat up this woman, gave her a skull fracture?
No.
They show up to arrest her for using a homophobic store.
We'll get to that momentarily.
First, I want to tell you about Chevron.
America is built on hard work and powered by American energy.
Chevron has spent $44 billion with local businesses across all 50 states since 2022, fueling infrastructure and communities, all while strengthening local economies.
Last year, Chevron increased U.S. production nearly 20%, powering communities and businesses from the heartlands to the coast.
We're helping to fuel America's energy advantage, building a brighter future right here at home.

Here's a teaser.
Is insulting an Italian woman's cooking still less dangerous than being near an Asian woman driving?
Subscribe to Daily Wire Plus.
It's a woman, Elizabeth Kinney, 34-year-old woman in the UK.
Listen to the story in her own words.
I was assaulted by a male acquaintance.
Physically or sexually?
Physically.
It wasn't my ex-partner.
It was a friend, like a group of friends.
The female acquaintance that basically she basically was getting jealous over me because she started seeing my ex-partner.
So she was trying to cause trouble for me, which ended up resulting in me getting attacked.
After that, obviously, I went to the hospital and I sent her messages and pictures of my injuries just to prove like what basically what she'd caused.
And obviously, I was very upset at the time.
I'd had inflammation on my brain.
I had a skull fracture, which made me not really feel like myself at the time.
I was very obsessed and I was very like angry with what had happened to me, which made me say her messages that I really wouldn't have said.
Okay, so what are the messages?
What are the messages?
She sent these messages.
This guy beats her up because it's some, I don't know, like a jealous situation.
She's kind of describing this at a party.
This guy beats her up, gives her a skull fracture.
And she sends these messages in which the great offense that she has committed is she calls him a faggot.
Am I allowed to say that?
Do they bleep that?
They probably bleep that.
She calls him a friend of Dorothy.
You know what I'm talking about?
She calls him a listener of Liberace.
You know what I mean?
She calls him gay.
And she uses a slur that in the UK refers to cigarettes too.
Well, Govno, you know, I'm got back to go out.
They smoke a couple faggots.
You know, yeah, yeah, governor, yeah, right.
Can I have some?
And so anyway, she uses, it doesn't seem like it's a slur, but it's not, it's not, ain't the worst slur.
You know, it's not that bad.
Anyway, she's taking a bath and 11 cops show up at her house.
And the cops show up and they accuse her of committing a crime.
The crime being that she caused a message to be sent across communications networks that involved a hateful slur because LGBT LMNOP is a protected class in the UK.
Englishmen are not a protected class in the UK.
Certainly English women and little English girls are not a protected class.
They can be raped by Pakistani migrants all day long.
And the police will look the other way.
They will know about it and they will look the other way for decades.
They're not a protected class.
But if you do weird sex stuff with people, you are a protected class.
And really, we need to get down to what this is about, because it's not even just about, I don't know, political correctness or sexual ideology or anything like that.
It goes deeper than that.
What this is about, it's not about free speech, as some people are trying to pretend.
Those are all the comfortable liberal ideas.
It's about identity.
That's what this is about.
The reason that the cops are going after this lady and defending her male assailant is because she's a white lady.
She's a regular white lady with a real British accent.
And that's why they are not defending her and they are defending the guy.
And really, they're defending the class of LGBT.
If this woman were a Pakistani man in Manchester who raped a bunch of 12-year-old girls, the cops would never show up at his door.
They might show up at the homes of the victims, and they might bully the parents of the victims into keeping their mouths shut to not disturb the peace or be guilty of Islamophobia.
The Pakistani Muslims and the rapists, they're also a protected class.
But what this is really about is identity.
It's not a uniform standard being applied.
It's not some abstract discussion of free speech.
It's about groups of people and hierarchies and groups of people.
And it seems in the UK, in Europe, and in the United States, that politics is becoming more and more overtly about that.
And we prefer to live in a political order that is not about warring factions of people that can be easily demarcated across tribal lines.
And especially people on the right would much prefer not to live in that society.
But driven largely by the left, that seems to be where we are now.
It's why it's so jarring for people when Trump says, look, I don't want the Somalis here.
They add nothing.
They're a huge burden.
They're fraudsters.
They're terrorists.
They're rapists.
And I want them out.
People are so shocked by that because he's speaking in really blunt group tribal kind of terms.
Yeah, because they're acting tribally.
Yeah, it's not Trump's fault.
It's not the right's fault.
And the old tactics of the left, which is just to accuse someone of the R word of racism and to say, okay, that'll shut you up, that's not going to work anymore.
People have had enough of this.
They've had enough, not just of the political correctness, not just of the censorship in the abstract.
They've had enough of having their identity groups specifically targeted by the popular culture, by the institutions, and by the government.
They've had enough of this.
They've seen enough Pakistanis raping English girls and they're done with it.
They're done with the Pakistanis.
We've seen enough Somalis rip off the taxpayer and commit crimes and take over our cities and fund terrorism.
We've had enough of that.
And now we would like them to go.
We certainly don't want to take more of them, but now we would like them to go.
And there are ways in which, you know, it's funny because the right has eschewed identity politics for a long time.
I've always had a little bit more of a nuanced take on that because I recognize that politics is about people living together in community and people who live together in community necessarily have things in common with each other.
And so that is all politics is a kind of identity politics.
Same way that when the right was braying on about how we need to be free speech absolutists, I said, actually, guys, actually, you're not going to, that's a very liberal, abstract idea.
You're going to get hoisted by that petard.
There are a lot of petards on the show today.
And it's the same thing with identity politics.
All politics is a kind of identity politics.
There are ways in which it can go very, very wrong and truly just become rival bands of savage tribes just clubbing each other over the head.
And there are ways in which we can use our reason to conduce to the common good, to accommodate people who are different, but who nonetheless share something in common in a polity.
However, before we get to that nice kind of politics, we're going to have to deal with the real issue.
We are in a kind of identity politics right now, like a very overt kind of identity politics that the left has brought upon us.
And we can either deal with it or we can bury our heads in the sand and lose our political power.
Okay, so speaking of identity and identity politics, a United Methodist pastor has just come out as transgender at perhaps the most ironic time of the year.
We'll get to that in one second.
First, though, I want to tell you about Helix Sleep.

Listen, some of my best friends are Methodist, okay?
So I know it's known not, but I didn't know that there were still Methodists.
Like I thought there were five Methodists left.
But I think there are still some.
And this is no disrespect to my Methodist friends, however many of you there are out there.
But you can listen to the pastor in his own words.
I get to announce with joy that I'm transitioning.
I'm affirming and saying to all of you that I am transgender.
And so the best way to put this is that I'm not becoming a woman.
I'm giving up pretending to be a man.
What will change?
Thank God you have never chosen me as your pastor based off of my appearance.
Amen.
I was waiting for that.
My parents okay with this.
Absolutely not.
They have chosen their convictions and their beliefs over supporting their child.
The category of what they call asexual.
I've been that way since we've all been together.
Is that I am not living my life in such a way that I am looking for romance.
And that's okay.
We all have to live the ways that we live.
Okay, hold on.
I actually feel bad for this guy.
I feel quite bad for this guy.
You can tell he's a very troubled guy, and he seems shaken and vulnerable.
He's about to embark on this horrifically damaging path.
And so you really do feel for him.
And I guess at the end there, when he says, look, we all live our own way.
You say, well, that's the Christian message.
Christ says, you know, to the woman at the well, hey, go and do whatever you want.
Christ says to the woman about to be stoned for adultery, you know, let him who is without sin cast the first stone.
And he turns to the woman.
He says, hey, go and sin if you want to.
Or whatever.
Just live however you want.
Just live.
It's cool, man, right?
No, I don't think so.
And then he says, you know, my parents, they've chosen their convictions, their beliefs over affirming their son's desires.
I think, isn't, didn't our Lord say if you don't hate your father and mother in your family and like all this, if you don't choose me over all of these things, all of the things of this world, even those that are closest to you, you know, you're nothing.
You're nothing.
You're not really following me.
Your faith is lukewarm.
You're not, but you got to, this is an all or nothing game here.
You really have to love me, the truth, God, the God who died for you.
You have to really choose me over all things.
And it's amazing.
Now he's angry.
He says to his parents, he says, and my parents are doing that.
Isn't that so awful?
They're not just affirming my delusions.
They're preferring their belief in Christ and even natural truth.
I say, yeah, aren't they supposed to do that?
But then he says, look, I'm asexual.
So this is not about me going to date a woman or date a guy or get it.
It's not about anything sexual because I'm asexual.
And I think that's how priests are supposed to be, kind of.
You know, I don't know.
I'm not talking about the actual category of asexuality, dubious as that is.
Saying, in my view of things, call me old-fashioned.
I think priests ought to be celibate.
And so when he says, look, I'm going to be celibate.
I think, oh, good.
That's what priests are supposed to be.
So what is this about?
If it's not even, I don't know what this guy's private life is really like, but I'm just judging by his words.
If this really isn't about engaging in some weird sexual relationship, I guess it could still be about pornography or something.
I don't know.
I don't even want to speculate.
But if it's not about doing weird sex stuff, what is it about?
It's just that he likes the idea of having longer hair.
He likes the idea of wearing women's clothing.
What is this really about?
And what's so amazing is the timing of this video going viral, this admission, because we're in Advent.
And what does Advent prepare us for as Christians?
The incarnation.
It prepares us for when God, the Son, becomes flesh, when the word, when the logic of the universe, the eternal truth and logos, becomes flesh and unites eternal truth to physical body and all of the particularities that go with body, notably including sex, and lives throughout history and dwells among us.
And he says, you know, what does it matter?
He kind of jokes.
He says, you know, you didn't pick me as your pastor for my appearance.
And he's conflating sex with mere appearances.
But sex is not a mere appearance.
This is a very Gnostic, very new age idea that our bodies are just an illusion.
A very new age idea is that everything in this world, all created things are just kind of an illusion and they're bad.
This goes back to Albigensianism.
This goes back further to Manichaeism, to perhaps Marcionism, a lot of these ancient and medieval heresies that have a hostile view to the created world.
But that's not the Christian view.
The Christian view is, no, no, no, this world is not just an illusion.
God really makes it.
This world that we move through in time and space and history is so real that God himself enters into it in a real place, in real time, and moves through history with a real body.
And then he dies and is bodily resurrected and eats fish on the beach with his friends and is assumed or ascends bodily into heaven.
And if you're a Catholic or Eastern Orthodox or certain varieties of Protestantism, you believe that our Lord's mother, the mother of God, is assumed bodily, bodily into heaven.
Bodily.
The body matters.
That is, if you had to list 10 big takeaways from the Christian religion and the most important takeaway from the Christian religion in Advent, you would say the body is, it matters.
It's real.
It tells you something true about who you are.
And your identity cannot be disconnected from your physical body.
And he comes to all the opposite conclusions.
So it's a pity, pity for him.
I hope he sees this segment.
I hope he hope it's pity for the Methodist ecclesial communities and pity for his parents, who I'm sure are suffering through it.
But it's amazing.
It's amazing the perfect wrongness of this, especially at this moment in Advent.
Speaking of signs of the times, the big political news, there was this major election in Nashville last night, the Tennessee special election for Tennessee District 7.
This was Mark Green's old district, Republican, who is out of Congress now.
So you had Matt Van Epps versus Afton Bain.
Matt Van Epps, Army veteran, looks like G.I. Joe, just all around clean cut, good looking guy, no scandals, good candidate.
And Afton Bain, a complete loony tune maniac who ran on a platform of hating Nashville and hating the people in Nashville and being radical.
And she, when there was the horrific shooting, the transgender shooter attacking Christian kids, her reaction was to worry about the backlash against the trans community.
Here she is.
So for those of you who don't know, my partner has a trans son.
And the month of April and the final week of March was incredibly upsetting for us.
In the wake of the covenant shooting and the disclosure that the Covenant shooter was trans, I was pulled into a chat with other trans organizers and activists across the state that were fearful of their lives.
We identified threats from white ring groups that they would show up at these trans day of visibility events and threatening our trans kids.
And so I had a snapped moment where I decided we need more people talking about the protections for trans kids in our trans communities at the legislature every day.
Listen up.
I can't even listen anymore.
I can't even listen anymore.
So she says, yeah, this lunatic psycho killer tranny came in and slaughtered cute little Christian children in school.
And my first thought was we need to protect trannies.
Obviously, that's my first thought.
And we need laws about this.
Who got you at?
The Christians, forget about it.
I hate Christianity.
Forget about Christians.
No, no, no.
We got to protect the psycho transgenders.
And that's, I don't know, is that even in the top three gaffes of this woman on the, so she was a horrifically bad candidate.
She loses.
Good news.
She loses.
Matt Van Epps wins.
She loses.
I think the final tally was 54 to 49.
Or sorry, 54 to 45.
So it was a nine-point race.
Now, this district was previously a 21-point race.
Mark Green, the Republican, previously, just last year, won that district by 21 points.
The cycle before is 21 points.
Before that, it was a slightly differently drawn district.
It was actually a 30-point district.
Should be a 20-point district.
Now it's a nine-point district.
Look, it's good news.
All that matters is winning or losing.
A big relief for Mike Johnson, the Republicans, big relief for Trump.
To quote Cocaine Mitch McConnell, the winners make law and the losers go home.
However, you look ahead at the midterms now.
What happens when you don't have a cartoonishly villainous, terrible Democrat candidate?
Every Democrat believes what she says.
Every Democrat believes in attacking law enforcement and promoting the weird sex stuff to kids, and they all kind of hate their countrymen.
That's true.
We see the numbers.
We see the rallies.
We sometimes hear their speeches.
We see the surveys.
So they feel that way.
She was just so overt about it.
And Matt Van Epps was a good candidate.
You know, no scandals, good.
G.I. Joe, clean cut.
What happens in the midterms when the Democrats a little better than Allison Bain and the Republicans a little worse than Matt Van Epps?
And the district isn't a 21-point buffer for Republicans.
We're probably going to need that 12-point window that we lost, that 12-point buffer that we lost on this race.
Look, it's a win.
Let's be excited about the win.
That's wonderful.
If I were Republicans right now looking at the midterms, one, I think you're going to expect more retirements from the Republicans in the House, which is going to make the GOP's job even harder.
But two, I think they need to start fundraising and knocking on doors now.
I mean, this is the wake-up call.
It could have been disastrous, and it wasn't.
We averted disaster, but the warning signs are there.
You know, hey, ships, watch out.
There are rocky waters ahead.
We are headed, not full steam, but we're headed pretty quickly for an electoral blowout in the midterms if we don't start getting serious.
Okay.
Now, speaking of alliances and politics, got to get that dagger out of my heart.
Sabrina Carpenter disavowing the White House and President Trump.
We'll get to that in one second first.

So the White House posts a video, a great video, of ICE deporting all these illegal criminals.
And the music that they used is Sabrina Carpenter's song.
This one?
Have you ever tried this one?
Have you ever tried this one?
Great.
Great bit.
Great stuff from the White House New Media team.
And then Sabrina Carpenter responds.
This video is evil and disgusting.
Do not ever involve me or my music to benefit your inhumane agenda.
So now, now some people are looking at you, boy, at your creamy sweater having boy right now, because I'm pro-Sabrina.
I like Sabrina's music.
I think she's a very interesting pop artist, and I see some kind of subversive, conservative messaging in her songs.
And I say, Mike, were you wrong?
No, I'm not wrong.
I'm not wrong about Sabrina.
I think there's a couple things going on here.
First of all, it has never been my claim that Sabrina Carpenter is like a registered Republican who voted for Trump.
That is not my claim.
I'm just pointing out that she's artistically interesting.
And related to that, her songs do have subtle conservative messaging, like that women can be kind of crazy.
There's all this retro message.
She's got a lot of retro imagery, 70s and 80s kind of imagery, funky, you know, older musical stylings and melodies.
And there's a kind of nostalgia for her.
Even her album cover where she's getting dragged around by a tie or a belt or something by a man, there's a kind of a, I don't know, a very playful and subversive subservience in that.
She ain't a feminist, let's put it that way.
Or if she is, she's, you know, there's a great deal of irony to it.
And she comes out and she says, don't use my music.
I hate this.
A couple of things are going on.
One, I think she's nervous.
I think she's nervous that some conservatives are noticing or are noticing.
Okay.
Like she played a song at, well, I don't know, some award show or something, and it had all this like pro-trans stuff there.
But you can't help but notice a lot of her music involves the implication that she's kind of crazy.
She's kind of a mess.
She makes bad decisions.
So within the Sabrina character is this.
It's not like I expect Sabrina Carpenter to be some like based right-wing philosopher king or anything.
Within the character is she's this messy girl who makes bad decisions, who might say one thing, but then behave in another way, act like a feminist, but then undermine feminism, you know, promote transgenderism, but the transgenderism is actually kind of a horror show, as in that music video that had weird gender bending.
So I remain, I say, yes, this is how Sabrina Carpenter was always going to respond to this.
The White House was absolutely right to use her music.
They responded with one of these typical, you know, like they did puns about her songs.
Well, listen here, Sabrina.
You better.
And then, you know, they like quote her songs in ways, but they double down, as they should double down.
You know, I don't even know the names of her songs, but the only thing that's evil and disgusting is illegal aliens bringing to the country.
So it was fine.
They didn't, no apologies whatsoever.
They should leave the video up.
It was great.
I think she's nervous.
People are noticing.
I still maintain her music, whether she knows it or not, her music has a subversive, conservative element to it.
And furthermore, even if she's really earnest and she's so upset about the Trump administration, don't forget there is a difference between the artist and the critic.
And artists usually, maybe usually, a lot of the time at least, don't even know what they're doing.
The artist just puts stuff out there.
You see this, especially with actors who stereotypically are not that intelligent.
And they go, they put a performance out there.
They don't know what they're doing.
And it's up to the critic to interpret what the actor is doing.
The critic is more conscious of what the artist is doing than the artist is.
It's with poets.
Poets are creating images for you.
They're creating sensual experiences for you.
It's for the critic to write the 5,000-word essay about it.
All right, enough about Sabrina Carpenter.
I'm salty.
I'm salty about it, but I'm not giving up on you, Sabrina.
I'm not giving up.
And the White House should not give up and they should not take that video down.
Speaking of immigration policy, The New Yorker.
The New Yorker, whenever you see these stories about ICE, the deportations, videos.
Look, a lot of these videos of ICE arresting people, a lot of them are AI generated.
So some of the ones, you know, if it's like a Buela just at home knitting, darning some socks, and then ICE comes in and blows her head off.
Those are often AI-generated videos.
But there are a lot of deportations going on.
And they're always presented as, you know, the evil oppressors, ICE, these jack-booted thugs coming in and taking the poor innocent doe illegal aliens who are all, they're all grandmother of wheelas who have been here for 72 years and they were brought here at the age of two and they're all dreamers.
And so here's the headline from The New Yorker.
Disappeared to a foreign prison.
The Trump administration is deporting people to countries they have no ties to, where many are being detained indefinitely or forcibly returned to the places they fled.
Notice how they set it up.
They go, the bad thing here is that these illegal aliens are being returned to countries that they've never even been to.
And the other bad thing is they're being returned to countries that they have been to.
No, okay, then the bad thing, according to the New Yorker, is that Trump is deporting any illegal aliens at all.
But just a quick little, quick little rundown on one story in particular.
Orville Atoria.
I'm quoting directly.
Orville Atoria, a Jamaican national who'd lived in New York for nearly 50 years, was shackled and put on an ICE flight to Eswatini.
And here's what Orville said.
It helped, yeah, man.
It helped me imagine how the slaves might have felt, man, going to another island in shackles and chains, man.
That was his reaction to the New Yorker.
Ice deport.
How do you get the interview with the New Yorker?
I don't know.
It made me feel how the slaves felt, man.
Now, of course, the slaves were brought to this country against their will.
And in this case, these guys came to the country against our will.
And we're telling them they have to leave because they have no right to be here.
This is how the slaves felt, man, deported to another country, man.
The community note, however, clarifies some facts.
Orville Atoria has multiple serious felonies, including armed robbery and murder.
He held a U.S. lawful permanent resident status, which can, can be, and was revoked following his criminal convictions.
So you see, the headline here is, disappeared to a foreign prison.
The word that's missing is murderers.
Murderers are just illegal alien, foreign national murderers are being sent to foreign prisons.
Which would seem to make sense.
This is how it all goes.
This is how it all goes.
And it gets back to something we were talking about earlier, which is the identity groups.
It's about the identity group.
It's not about the murder.
It's not about the rape.
It's not about law enforcement.
When the Biden administration was sending jackbooted thugs in to spy on Catholic churches and to arrest grannies for praying at abortion clinics, I don't remember the Libs objecting to that.
I don't remember the libs objecting to the use of force when it was Barack Obama droning people left and right.
I don't know.
It's not about these ideas, these principles, the use of force, the free speech, the this, the, that, the other thing.
It's about the identity groups.
For the, for the left now, these illegal aliens are the good guys.
Anything they do is good or at least justifiable, including murder and rape.
It's, hey, it's just their culture.
If a, if a white man looks at a woman the wrong way in 2017, that, that man's life will be ruined because of me too and time's up and, you know, sexual harassment and whatever, that that guy has to go to prison for life.
But if a Somali migrant rapes multiple people, it's just their culture.
They have to get, that's all it is.
It's just about getting past this.
And so if you're the Trump administration right now, what you have to recognize is we have an opportunity.
And I think they do.
I think they recognize this.
We have an opportunity to do something right now.
Hey, we got the power.
The winners make policy.
The losers go home.
Hey, we won that special election last night.
We didn't win it by a lot, but we won it.
And we have to really wield that power.
We have to really get rid of these people, the foreign criminals that are in the country.
We need to get rid of them.
Because if we don't get them out of the country, if we don't send the murderers to Eswatini, then the minute the Democrats come back into power, they're going to give all of them amnesty.
And then they're going to come back for revenge.
And the actions of the Trump administration are entirely justified, not merely by factional warring tribal politics, but by ordinances of reason and by considerations for the common good.
However, what's going to happen if we don't actually make good on our promises and the things that people elected President Trump to do is those groups, the murderers, the illegals, the drug traffickers, the terrorists, are going to be given a lot more political power when the Democrats inevitably come back in and they are going to wield it against us in very unjust ways.
The stakes are high.
This is not the kind of politics of 10 or 20 or 30 years ago.
That's not even a newer kind of, it's a much older kind of politics.
And we've got to get a little, we got to get a little older.
We got to get a little medieval.
It's time to get a little medieval.
Okay.
Speaking of, today is not Woke Wednesday.
I have been told by the producers, and I don't, you know, this is a family show.
I don't want to go blue, but this is what they called the segment.
And I suppose it's fitting.
I'm told it's Whoopass Wednesday, starring Sam Alvey, because Mayflower Cigars is sponsoring the Karate Combat Champion.
And his corner man, Knucker Knowles, is going to be interviewing him.
