Every protocol, every precaution, every move coordinated.
This new film takes you inside the 20 days leading up to the 2025 presidential election through the eyes of the First Lady herself.
The briefings, the planning, the private conversations, witness what it takes to secure her return to one of the world's most powerful roles, Melania.
Only in theaters January 30th.
President Trump tells the New York Times that the Civil Rights Act violated white people's rights.
The former president of Ireland argues that baptism violates baby's rights and, speaking of debates over rights, new video emerges out of Minneapolis of Renee Good's lesbian partner screaming her shock and surprise that ICE officers' guns shoot bullets.
I'm Michael Knowles.
This is The Michael Knowles Show.
Welcome back to the show.
Leftists in Minneapolis are now doing pagan rituals outside of Renee Good's memorial.
I guess there's a makeshift memorial where the ICE officer shot her after she hit him with her car.
And the Libs are dressing up in all sorts of weird pagan outfits and doing incense rituals.
And leftists will do literally anything to avoid worshiping the one true God.
Now, speaking of the one true God, by the way, I just realized I forgot to light my Christmas candle.
This is the Michael Knowles Whistle Candle, and I need to light it on my set one because it's a beautiful candle that you can get at dailywire.com slash shop, and because, as you see with all of my other decorations, it's still the traditional Christmas season, folks.
I walked into my set today, and I thought, man, it's crazy to think that in the short span of 20 days, I will be taking down my Christmas decorations.
The season flies by, so make sure that you light your candles while you can.
Now, before we get to President Trump pointing out how the Civil Rights Act was bad for white people, something that you could not have imagined hearing in mainstream politics, even I don't know, five to ten years ago.

Well, I got the New York Times here. You know you can believe everything you read in the New York Times. Headline, Trump says civil rights led to white people being very badly treated. Right there off the headline, you say, wait,
civil rights? Is that really what? People having civil rights is bad for white people? No, no, no. That's not what he said. Referred to the Civil Rights Act. And there have actually been many Civil Rights Acts in the course of history. He was referring specifically to the Civil Rights Act of 1964. What does he say about it? Speaking to the New York Times on Wednesday,
Mr. Trump echoed grievances amplified by Vice President JD Vance. Already right there, you can see the Previously, Trump was singularly evil. He was Hitler. He was a distinct evil, unlike any other. You might not like all the Republicans,
but Trump is specifically evil. That's why we all need to unite to stop. And that's what we've heard for 10 years. And we've already started to get the shift. Actually, Vance is worse. He was singularly evil, unlike all the other Republicans.
Reagan, he was great.
I have a strange new respect for Reagan.
Then it became George Bush was Hitler.
And now they all like George Bush because Trump is Hitler.
And now, finally, you're beginning to see, well, actually, Trump, he wasn't quite as bad as everyone said.
Vance is the real threat.
So already this is being framed as President Trump is echoing JD Vance.
JD Vance is the real evil pulling the strings.
Nobody believes any part of Vance is Hitler and Trump is being led around.
No, says echoed by JD Vance and other top officials who in recent weeks have argued white men have urged white men to file federal complaints with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission.
the EEOC, which is a product of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the subsequent cultural upheaval in the 1960s to present. These guys,
so they're urging white men who have been discriminated against on the basis of race to file a Civil Rights Act complaint. And this is shocking to the New York Times. This is newsworthy to the New York Times. Why is this newsworthy? The whole point of the Civil Rights Act is we're going to stop racial discrimination. So if people are being discriminated against because they're black,
they can file a complaint, or because they're Mexican or Asian, or I don't know, or if they're white, right? Why is this so shocking? Well, now they quote Trump. White people were very badly treated, where they did extremely well and they were not invited to go into a university or college, he said, an apparent reference to affirmative action in college admissions. So I would say, in that way, I think it was unfair in certain cases. He added,
I think it was also at that time, it accomplished some very wonderful things, but it also hurt a lot of people.
People that deserve to go to a college or deserve to get a job were unable to get a job.
So it was.
It was a reverse discrimination.
Could anyone disagree with that?
What exactly does the NEW YORK Times disagree with here?
What exactly do the libs, who are sharing this shocking statement from Trump, disagree with?
Do they disagree that white people have been discriminated against as a matter of affirmative action?
Do they disagree?
Affirmative action, which actually predates the Civil Rights Act Of 1964, but it's kind of part and parcel of it.
The point of affirmative action is to give preference to non -white people.
That's the point, That's the definition of affirmative action.
They all celebrate that.
They say, isn't this so wonderful? There's more diversity. There are fewer white people in these positions. There are fewer white people in these schools. I guess one way to put it is they celebrate it when they say there are more non-white people in these schools. But the logical necessity of there being more non-white people is there being fewer white people. And this isn't just a matter of,
you know, meritocracy or something, or taking an unjust impediment away from the non-white people. This is an active, it's an affirmative action, it's like why it's called that, to bring in more non-white people. So that isn't necessarily discrimination against white people. Does anyone disagree with that? No. It addressed some real problems,
But it also hurt a lot of people.
And so, what is the NEW YORK Times really upset about?
The NEW YORK Times is upset that the Trump administration is encouraging people to rectify some of the wrongs that came about as a result of the Civil Rights Act Of 1964 through the act itself.
By filing complaints with the various civil rights offices.
So it's not saying we need to repeal the Civil Rights Act.
It's not saying we need to abolish all of these offices.
Trump is saying the most modest, moderate thing you could possibly say.
He's saying we need to resolve some of the problems that have come about through the Civil Rights Act.
And even that is too far.
Why?
Because the Libs want to discriminate against white people.
That's what they want.
And so, what's so brilliant about this framing here is the libs either have to admit that whites are right to file Civil Rights Act complaints, EEOC complaints, when they're discriminated against,
or they have to admit that the purpose of the Civil Rights Act was, as Trump says, reverse discrimination. Which is it? You have The Civil Rights Act wasn't really about civil rights. It wasn't really about ending racial discrimination. It wasn't really about equality for all. What it was really about was discriminating against whites,
in which case we should get rid of it. Or, the Civil Rights Act really was about ending racial injustices. It really was about equality for all. It really was about stopping discrimination. In which case,
the whites who have been actively discriminated against absolutely should file complaints through the EEOC and the people who have discriminated against the white people should be punished for it. Which is a really brilliant way to frame it. There are some people who are more flamboyantly dissident. There are some people who are more over the top in their performative right-wingedness who will say,
well, really the problem is we need to get rid of the whole Civil Rights Act. That's not real politics. The Civil Rights Act is pretty settled, and most people, most reasonable people would admit that it came about for an historical reason and to address real injustices. So if you want to stop the present injustices,
you have to deal with political reality and force the Libs to come to a conclusion here. Force the New York Times to show its cards. Is the Civil Rights Act just about discriminating against white people? Okay, well, then it's not about civil rights. Then it's not right at all. Then it's a civil wrongs act, if you ask me, and we need to get rid of it. Or if it is, stop discriminating against white people. You have to stop. Five, ten years ago,
you would not have heard this kind of language from any mainstream politician. You would not have heard racial, white, grievance politics. And there are some squishes today who say, and we still shouldn't talk about this, you know, it's just, it's not right. The reason you're getting more racial white grievance politics today is, one, because there are more grievances against white people, more overt, explicit grievances against white people, and two,
because every other racial group has an extremely high racial identity. I frequently cite the study by Pew Research that shows that every other racial group has very, very high racial identity. White people have basically nothing. And that's not sustainable. That's totally unstable. The way Trump is trying to resolve this, I think, is very moderate, very much within a mainstream American tradition.
How the Libs react to that is up to them.
So you've got violations of the rights of white people.
And then if we turn over to our friends in Ireland, you have a violation of the rights of babies.
But it's not the one you think.
You'd say, yeah, there is a major violation of the civil, human, natural rights of babies.
Namely, they're killed through abortion throughout the West, throughout the world.
That's not the issue, though.
The former president of Ireland is claiming that the real denial of babies' human rights is baptism.
We'll get to that momentarily first.

You couldn't make this up.
Mary McAleese!
Mary McAleese!
The former president of Ireland!
She has just come out.
This is an article in the Irish Times.
headline, baptism denies babies their human rights.
This woman is nominally Catholic, obviously not, doesn't seem to agree with the teaching or practice of the Catholic church, but she's, I think this woman is a canon lawyer, by the way, but I don't know, you know, she was radicalized somehow.
And she says, this is the real important issue that we need to focus on.
This is the, this is the great injustice in our world today.
It's not, it's just a politician.
This is not a prelate.
It's not a theologian.
She's a politician.
She says the real injustice the real violation of human rights in our world is not. With regard to immigration, or foreign policy, or the economy, how we treat the poor. It's not even abortion, you know, the wholesale slaughter of little babies. It's baptism. It is difficult to see how one can arrive at that conclusion and obsession without demonic influence. I'm not someone who says there's a demon under every rock,
you know. Look, we live in a world where the material and the immaterial are not. Totally separable. But nevertheless, I'm not demon hunting all the time. It's very difficult to understand how the former president of Ireland says, you know, the issue that we really need to focus on here, the great human rights violation in our time, is baptizing babies. Because it's bad. You could say it's a human rights violation, maybe,
to suppress baptism of babies. I was trying to think. I was like, what's the best way to give this woman Benefit of the death. And you would say, okay, technically, infant baptism is a violation of human rights because humans, by all rights, after the fall, deserve death. Because after the fall, a sin and death pervade the world. And so in our fallen human nature,
what we deserve, what we get, is death. And baptism saves us from death. I know there are many people who are going to be listening now who have all sorts of different views of baptism. I'm quoting here St. Peter from 1 Peter, who says, baptism now saves you.
All sorts of interesting theological discussions about exactly what that means.
But that baptism is what demarcates us as Christians.
There are going to be plenty of people who disagree with infant baptism.
Again, this is the traditional practice of the Catholic Church.
You see it in scripture.
Our Lord says, let the little children come to me.
You see baptisms of children in Acts multiple times.
But again, nevertheless, we'll put all those theological discussions aside for a second.
The closest I can get here is that baptism denies babies their human rights in as much as it saves them from the consequences of the fall of man.
That's a good thing, isn't it?
Isn't that a good thing?
Last point.
This woman who says that baptism violates babies' human rights.
supports abortion.
She supports legally murdering babies in the womb, but not baptizing them.
The only way to reach that conclusion is either to have followed the perversity of liberalism to its conclusion or the influence of a demon.
I don't say, I'm sorry, I don't see any other, really makes you raise your eyes to raise your eyebrow to other left-wing politicians.
Now, speaking of perversions, speaking of total divorce from reality, we turn back to Minneapolis.
It was at shooting.
The ICE officer shot this left-wing activist who drove her SUV into him the other day, and the left thinks this is a great injustice.
There is an injustice here.
This agitator should not have driven her car into an ICE officer.
but they think it was unjust for the officer to shoot this woman. Gives away the whole game on how we got here. This is the lesbian partner, reportedly, of the woman who was killed,
yelling immediately after the shooting. It's an astounding video. Her first scream after she yells,
drive, baby, drive, drive, into the ICE agent. And then the ICE agent, defending himself, shoots that woman in the face, as he was absolutely right to do. And then the woman dies and her car crashes and she screams why did you have real bullets? You actually feel sorry for this woman. Well, You feel sorry for the woman who's dead, You feel sorry for the lesbian partner.
Because she was shocked.
She was shocked that the cop's gun had real bullets in it.
She really didn't know.
She really didn't know that the law enforcement officer's gun had bullets.
How divorced do you have to be from reality not to know that the cop's gun has bullets in it?
That's how divorced she was.
And you see it throughout, not just this one particular woman who's shrieking these things, but all these people out there in the streets.
The woman out there shrieking these things thinks that foreign criminals are law -abiding American citizens.
That's one level of confusion.
She thinks that foreign criminals Those are the people who are being apprehended by ICE are Americans, that they have a right to be here, and that they shouldn't be arrested. They're law-abiding. That's crazy. That's the opposite of what they are. This woman, it goes without saying, Has a great deal of sexual confusion.
She doesn't really know the difference between men and women.
She thinks that men and women are practically the same.
This woman doesn't seem to understand.
She doesn't understand human nature.
She doesn't understand how societies get along.
She doesn't realize that you're not allowed to just park your car in the middle of the street in order to obstruct law enforcement.
Law enforcement whom she believes you are allowed to drive your car into.
And if they shoot back, they'll shoot what?
Marbles and gumdrops?
She doesn't know that the guns have bullets.
This is why.
Some of us observed, including the vice president. You feel pity for these people because they have been so brainwashed by the left online, in their communities, by the politicians.
They have been brainwashed and scandalized by the politicians who have accustomed them to not seeing the law enforced, who have accustomed them, habituated them to seeing foreign criminals just do whatever they want in the middle of their streets, brag about how they're not here legally, brag about their crimes and not be arrested.
And the culmination of that, the consequence of that, of living in this virtual world where there never seemed to be consequences to anything.
A world that's kind of like a video game where if you die, you just press restart and you get to start it up again.
The consequences of living in that virtual world is that when you see your lesbian partner get shot in the face because she ran over a cop.
or tried to run over a cop, ended up hitting him, you first scream, why did you have real And then, the part that's really heartbreaking for this woman, the lesbian partner, is that second thing she says. She goes, it's my fault. I told her to come down here. A recognition that, in a way, I think I'm probably softer on this woman than she is on herself,
because she realizes, oh my goodness, and she doesn't even admit it here, but the true immediate cause of this woman driving her car into the cop, which led her to be shot, Was that the lesbian partner says, drive, baby, drive, drive. She literally gives the order that gets her killed. But even earlier than that, I guess it was this woman who said, you go down there. Yeah, you go down there, you park your car, you obstruct law enforcement, that's what you should do. Which gets her killed. She says, oh my goodness,
it's my fault. I encouraged the kind of delusion that led this woman to get shot in the face, to be shocked. By the least surprising thing one could imagine. Speaking of Minneapolis and what's going on with ICE, I've got a little friendly advice to the administration. The administration's doing a very,
very good job handling this, but I have a little bit of friendly advice, which we'll get to momentarily. First, though, I want to tell you about Masa Chips.

Masa is now available nationwide at your local Sprouts. Stop by,
pick up a couple of bags before they're gone. Beyond the lady who was killed and her lesbian partner, we'll get to the people doing pagan rituals at the makeshift memorial for this woman. You have the more violent,
virulent leftists screaming direct threats in the street. Okay,
so this guy, obviously a little heated, a little out of control of his passions, he gets up and makes as direct a threat on law enforcement as you can imagine. He gets up, he says, we need to go to the gun store, we need to get weapons, we need to come back here and face you man to man.
That is a direct threat.
I hope that guy was arrested.
I don't know for certain that he was.
My advice to the administration, which they don't need because I think they get this, but I just maybe want to focus it a little bit here is if I were running the administration right now, I would arrest all of these people to the best of my ability, but it can be done.
You know how I know it can be done because of the January 6thers.
There were Midwestern grannies who took selfies in the Capitol on January 6th.
They were tracked down by the U.S. Marshals weeks and months later, like every single one of them.
And they were thrown in the can for months and years for much lesser crimes than what you're seeing these people in Minneapolis do.
The federal government I'm sure they already want to do this. The Trump administration is in very good hands when it comes to ICE and DHS and law enforcement and all the way up to the top. However, it's important to arrest all of these people because the law is a teacher. And the brutal crackdown by the left on legitimate right-wing dissent did have a chilling effect. It worked. I said this after Charlie Kirk was assassinated. I said,
the worst part about assassinations, which no one wants to admit now, is that they work. That's why people do them. The reason people do assassinations is because they work. We all have when one of our friends or one of our heroes is assassinated. We say,
well, this is just going to make us stronger than ever. But usually it doesn't. Because actually assassinations work. That's why people do them. Well, the same principle holds with just use of state power, which is when you arrest criminals,
you get less crime. And when you let criminals run free, you get more crime. And when you let criminals flaunt their crime on television, You get even more crime than that. So, when you have these people coming out there making these kinds of direct threats, I'm not saying they have to be violent.
No, I'm going much further than that.
When they just make these verbal threats, which are crimes, they need to be arrested and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.
We need to send a message that this will not be tolerated.
Not only will that help to quell the legitimate left -wing terrorism that even the Atlantic is admitting exists.
But it will also be a political electoral winner, because most people don't identify with that.
Most people don't want these violent lunatics in the streets.
To show you how mainstream this used to be, I got to give a hat tip to Mays here.
Mays finds some great old video and audio.
Here is how Bill Clinton spoke about illegal immigration and deportations in 1995.
Our nation was built by.
People from every region of the world have made lasting and important contributions to our society.
We support legal immigration, but we won't tolerate immigration by people whose first act is to break the law as they enter our country. We must continue to do everything we can to strengthen our borders, enforce our laws, And remove illegal aliens from our country.
As I said in my State Of the Union address, we are a nation of immigrants, but we're also a nation of laws.
And it is wrong and ultimately self -defeating for a nation of immigrants to permit the kind of abuse of our immigration laws we have seen in recent years.
Now let me talk a little bit about increasing deportations.
Our plan will triple the number of criminal and other deportable aliens deported since 1993.
Every day illegal aliens show up in court who are charged.
Some are guilty and surely some are innocent.
Some go to jail and some don't.
But they're all illegal aliens.
Whether they're innocent or guilty of the crimes they're charged with in court, they're still here illegally, and they should be sent out of the country. So there you have it. Bill Clinton, who is still active in Democrat politics, whose wife was very nearly the president, who probably still thinks she is the president, Bill Clinton coming out and saying,
we need to deport all the illegal aliens, not just the ones who are committing additional crimes. Illegal immigration is itself a crime. They need to be deported. They have no right to be here. And this is making people a little nostalgic, I think. First of all, we should play that clip for people on the left to show them just how far they've fallen. It's not like we're playing a clip here from, I don't know, John F. Kennedy, or from Franklin Roosevelt, or from Andrew Johnson, or something. You know, we're not going that far back,
okay? We're playing a clip from a very recent Democrat president who is still very active in Democrat politics. And he sounds at least as right-wing as the Trump administration in that clip. Except for one line, and this is where I would urge caution to the right-wingers who are feeling a little nostalgic. There are a lot of people on the right, in the kind of normie, mainstream, centrist right, who say, man, can't we just go back to the 90s? Man, the 90s were so great. Ah,
the 90s. Let's just go back to that. I'm not saying we got to go back to the 50s. We got to go back to the 90s. As my friend and priest, Father George Rutler, observes, nostalgia is history after a few drinks.
There were some nice parts of the 90s.
We had just won the Cold War.
We had relative peace.
It was before 9-11.
We had a once-in-a-century explosion of industry and money because of the internet.
Yeah, they were kind of nice.
You also had a lot of crime, certainly in the early 90s.
You had peak feminism, abortion, divorce.
You had Bill Clinton, who was a degen in the White House.
Even in that statement, which is very right-wing and based and cool, you hear in that beginning, he goes, this is a country built by immigrants.
We're a nation of immigrants.
which is a phrase that was coined by Dan Quayle. I'm sorry. Diversity is our strength entered four years before. Nation of immigrants entered a little bit earlier,
but actually not even all that much earlier. Handful of decades earlier. Middle to late 20th century is when that phrase entered our lexicon. That does not go back to the early 20th century or the 19th century or the 18th century or earlier. Clinton uses that line. Nation of immigrants,
diversity is our strength. Because diversity is our strength naturally follows from nation of immigrants. Then you need to encourage it. Then the procedural matters of did you enter legally or illegally are less important than the substance of we need more migration because diversity is our strength. We want America to be strong. We'll bring in more,
more, more, more. You see the rot in there already. And we're not going to solve these problems by just going back to the 90s. By the way, we're not going to solve these problems even by going back to the 1950s. We could learn a lot from the 1950s. We could learn a lot. We should bring in some of that. We can learn from history. But we're not just going to solve this problem by saying,
let's use the example at the top, by going back to 1963, right before the Civil Rights Act of 1964. You can't go back in time. All you can do is recognize that we do live in this historical moment. It's actually an honor. God has chosen for us to be here. We're here for a purpose,
and it's an honor to live in any time, and we need to just do what is good and right, right now. And if you can learn from history, all the better. And if we have some agreement, even from recent history, that we need to deport all the illegal aliens, everyone agrees on that, from Pat Buchanan to Bill Clinton.
Okay, great.
Let's deport him.
If we agree that we shouldn't discriminate against people unjustly on the basis of race, and everyone agrees on that from, gosh, I don't know, the right-wing Twitter anon all the way to the authors of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, great.
Well, let's do that.
And let's have white people who have been discriminated against file complaints with the EEOC.
If we recognize that we need law enforcement, if we recognize that you can't drive your SUV into cops, what is really called for is not turning the clock back to the 90s or the 1950s.
What is really called for is a reacquaintance with reality.
which is always present before us. And the circumstances of that reality change, but the nature of it remains the same. That's what is really called for. It's not this policy or that policy. We're deporting this many people. We're not deporting this many. It's when you have people in the street saying,
why do your guns have bullets in them? That's the issue. Reacquaint yourself with reality and govern in accord with reality. Perhaps it was the case in the 1960s that there was unjust racial discrimination against non-white people. It is certainly the case today that there is unjust racial discrimination against white people. That's the reality you have to deal with. Why do people like you become Daily Wire Plus members? Because when riots break out in Minneapolis,
we send reporters into the chaos. For investigative journalism that goes where others will not. For premium entertainment that means something. Like Real History with Matt Walsh premiering Monday, January 19th. For the biggest swing we've ever taken, a full-scale cinematic epic, The Pendragon Cycle,
Rise of the Merlin premiering January 22nd. You know why people join most of all? Forget about all those stupid reasons. You know why? For this beautiful mug right here. That's why. That's why. I haven't looked into the analytics. I think that's why. It's not just a description. It's a community. People watching together,
reading together, laughing, debating, pushing back, refusing to shut up or sit down. Go to dailywireplus.com and join now. My favorite comment yesterday. No, I didn't. I keep forgetting to pick the comment, so they pick it for me. I don't know if they pick a good one, though. We'll find out. This is from some guy on Twitter who says the left. You have no right to self-defense if you're only slightly hit with a car. Also, the left, if you're pregnant, you have the right to kill your baby in self-defense. Oh, that's true! No, you know what? Actually,
I think I did pick that comment. I saw that comment. That is a good comment. That wins. That wins for me. Folks, tomorrow night, Wednesday, we're back with another live taping of Bar Fight, and we've got two shows. The first show is at 6pm. I take the stage with featured libs, Oliver Niehaus, and The Soy Pill. Then, at 8pm, things get spicy. Spicy-er, even, with Adam Mochler and Lauren Perretra. Two debates, two time slots, one night, free drinks. We're saving on production costs. If you like watching people actually argue,
instead of politely nodding at each other on cable news programs, this one's for you. If you've not seen a Bar Fight episode, take a look at what to expect. I'm sick and tired of you! Dennis, You had a monologue already.
I tell people that Michael Knowles is my internet dad.
Stop it.
We've got a bar full of people, and you want us to debate HOAs.
Because this is America!
Welcome to Bar Fight.
Tonight I'm joined by two libs.
That's my case.
I think it's a pretty good one.
My first guest, that is Zina Ikemec.
You've been calling me a lib this whole time.
I hate to break it to you.
It might be a little bit worse than that.
Uh-oh.
Just be consistent.
I've been very consistent.
Luke gets to finish his point.
I think this bell is rigged.
My second guest, one of the top names in online liberal commentary today, Luke Beasley.
We'll see you at Bar Fight.
Make sure to RSVP by clicking the link in the description.
Last point on Minnesota.
There is a makeshift memorial for the woman who was shot when she drove her SUV into a cup.
Libs are showing up.
This footage...
courtesy of Frontlines, powered by TPUSA. Libs are doing pagan rituals at the Rene Good Memorial, because of course they are. People in headdresses, waving some kind of incense, some kind of witchy incense, in front of the memorial. You know that meme, there's a meme online that says,
men will do literally anything to avoid going to therapy.
The libs will do literally anything to avoid worshiping the one true God.
No one is surprised that there are these pagan rituals out here.
This too, divorced from reality.
If you described what unfolded in Minneapolis, not one aspect of that would surprise you.
Angry lesbian who says she's not, this is another line.
They say the final words of this woman who was shot were, I'm not mad at you.
And some people are saying, see, she's, they're reading that as, I'm not mad.
I love you.
I'm just want what's best for you.
And that's not what she said.
She was refusing an order of law enforcement.
She was aiding and abetting criminals who weren't here.
and she was endangering people by blocking traffic, and then ultimately she drove her car into a guy. And she said, I'm not mad at you. People are saying, see, she said she's not mad. As if they've never spoken to a woman before. Is it when a woman tells you,
I'm not mad, What does that statement typically convey? Does it convey the literal message of that statement or the opposite? Any man who's ever had a girlfriend, not even been married, had a girlfriend, knows it means the opposite. So angry, sexually confused person, breaking the law, helping other people break the law, to undermine law and order in the United States,
becoming violent. Political violence is much more a left-wing problem, not only in how it's committed, but also in how it's justified and supported. Multiple surveys on that after Charlie Kirk was killed,
proving the point. We would all know it. We would all guess it. And if you said there's a memorial set up for this woman, are people sitting out there praying the rosary, or are they doing weird rain dances in headdresses? What do you think the answer would be? It would be the latter. Why? At best,
at best, a natural religion. And there can be some truths to paganism, partial truths in paganism. But it is, at the very best, a natural religion that cannot look beyond man's own material circumstances. And more typically,
it's a religion focused on the self. Tribe or geographic area or class or caste. And gods who exist primarily to help the human. You know,
so much of the occult, so much of the new age mimics, mirrors true religion. But what's the difference? In true religion, when you pray to God, it's about God. When you pray to God to help you, in true religion, we say, thy will be done. Not my will be done, thy will be done. Our Lord, when he's praying in the Garden of Gethsemane, our Lord, who is God, says,
Lord, may this cup pass from my lips, but not my will be done, but thy will. Which is an amazing, I mean, one could speak for many hours about even the meaning of that. As the second person of the Trinity is speaking to the first person of the Trinity. But Christ,
as the model, entirely receives from God the Father. He's always listening for God and doing his will and modeling that for us, even as Christ himself is God. Pagan religion, it's the opposite. It's, hey, help me out. Come on, do this for me. Do this, do that. Which is just part and parcel of liberalism. Liberalism, which makes man into a god, and which attempts to banish all other gods, including the true one, from the public square. No surprise whatsoever. It's also how you know, though,
that all of these issues are together. And so sometimes we say, I want to separate religion from political issues. I want to separate religion from politics. Or I want to separate economic issues from social issues, or this issue from that. There's no separation,
there's no disintegration. We're unified wholes, we live in a society which has got to be a unified whole, and so these things go together. And I think we've done better as a country. I think we've done better when we're a society that doesn't mow down cops. I think we've done better when we're a society that encourages men and women to get married and have children together. I think we do better as a society when we worship the true God,
you know, in God we trust and, you know, model of Christian charity and all that, rather than put on headdresses and do funky rain dances with smoke. That's what I think. The libs disagree with me. Okay, speaking of immigration, there's a story I've been meaning to get to for a few days now, and I don't want to miss it. On the point of immigration itself, which is the issue that is causing all of the riots in Minneapolis and the law enforcement actions by ICE and all of this rancor,
and it's one of the issues that got Trump elected with the popular vote last year, two years ago now, there's one argument that you often hear about the immigrants, which is that the immigrants are good for our country. Bill Clinton said our country is built by immigrants. We need more immigrants because they're so good for us. They're much better than those lazy Native Americans. I'm not talking headdresses. I'm talking white people. You hear all this stuff. Well,
Trump just publishes tables of immigrant welfare use. Here we go. Country of birth, percent of immigrant households receiving assistance. Starts with Bhutan, ends with Bermuda. Bhutan,
81.4%. Why do we take people from Bhutan? Yemen? Yemen, our strength, 75% plus. Somalia, which is the immigrant group that's the touchpoint in these debates, 72%. How are any of these people building America? They're taking from America. They're dismantling America. How are they building America? They're not. You go down this whole list, all these countries,
down in the rates of 30s, 30s, a lot of 30s. Now back up here, we got Liberia, Algeria, Syria. We're back up to the high 40s. All the way down, Finally,
you get down to Bermuda. Saudi Arabian Bermuda. And even there, you're at about 26%. Why are we importing people when more than one in four of them are just going to be on the dole and take from us? What's the point of doing that? If they're not contributing,
then 99 times out of 100, 999 times out of 1,000, We shouldn't take him in. Occasionally there's a charity case here or there, a refugee case, but that's the exception. Furthermore, what are we going to do about it? The posts from the president are great. I love a good post, But we need some concrete action, right?
Enter Treasury Secretary Scott Bessick.
So we're lowering that to 3,000.
And we're also targeting the two counties here.
And we're going to do enhanced surveillance.
And from now on, anyone who wires money out from one of these money service businesses has to check a box saying whether they are on public assistance.
And if you are on public assistance, we are going to start pushing that you cannot wire money out of the country.
Oh, gosh.
And what if they lie and they don't tell us they're public assistance?
Well, then...
That's a crime, lying on a federal form.
We're going to follow it up.
And we are going to push that you can no longer do that.
The American people, our generosity has been taken advantage of.
Our generosity is funding al-Shabaab.
In Iranian interests, it could be.
Well, the money...
This is really bad.
The money is supposed to go for alleged asylum seekers and their families and children.
And if you are wiring the money out of the country, one of two things must be true.
You are getting too much money and your benefits should be cut.
Or you are part of this conspiracy.
There you got it.
You got it.
He puts it very clearly at the end.
If you're wiring the welfare money you're getting out of this country...
You're getting too much welfare money or you're a criminal you're part of, you're part of a criminal conspiratorial fraud game.
Either way, we got to shut it off.
Most people listening to this are going to hear that, that these immigrants on welfare are sending money to the country and they're going to say one word.
You say, what what, why are they sending?
No, that's not happening.
No, that's what you're going to hear.
Your, your moderate liberal relative is going to hear this and say no, that's not happening.
If this were happening, I would have heard it on CNN or in the NEW YORK Times.
That can't be happy, but it is happening.
And if it's not happening, by the way, then you should agree with the treasury secretary's proposal here, which is, yeah.
we're just going to cut off. That's fine. If it's not happening, then this policy won't matter at all. But if it is happening, it's going to stop this. People becoming divorced from reality, and being scandalized into divorce from reality. Because if the migrants are on welfare, then immigrants didn't build this country,
or not currently building this country at least. If the mass migration is leading to more crime, more drugs, more fraud, all of these things, then diversity is not our strength. If these guys are sending your taxpayer money out of the country to other places,
then so much of what we believe about immigration is just wrong. And I think the way that we win is by reacquainting people with reality. The left-wing rioters,
you've got to show people. The criminal Somalis, you've got to show people. Let them see what it really is. And let them realize that these slogans that have been simmering in their minds, that have been brainwashing them, Are not real.
Show them cops shooting people as they drive their SUVs into the cops.
You have to show them that.
It's hard to see.
There are some people who think that's going to really hurt Republicans.
I'm not convinced of that.
I think that's going to wake some people up.
I think it's going to wake people up and remind them that the cops have bullets in their guns.
And they need to have bullets in their guns because the cops are there to stop criminals.
And the people who are being deported are not Abuela making paella, They're face -tattooed gangsters who work with cartels.
And even Abuela, even Abuela often is on welfare and might be sending her money back to her country of origin, And we can't have that.
We've got to show people The reality.
Okay, Today's TEE Tuesday.
The rest of the show continues now.

What was it like, Merlin, to be alone with God?
Is that who you think I was alone with?
I knew your father.
I am yet convinced that he was not of this world.
All men know of the great Taliesin.
You are my father.
Now the gods should war for my soul.
Princess Garrus, saviour of our people, I know what the bull god offered you.
I was offered the same, And?
There is a new pirate work in the world.
I've seen it.
A god who sacrifices what he loves for us.
We are each given only one life, Singer. No. We're given another. I learnt of Yazoo the Christ. And I have become his follower. He's waiting on a miracle. And I think you can give him one. Trust in Yazoo. He is the only hope for men like us. Fate of Britain never rests in the hands of the Great Light. Great Light. Great Darkness. Such things mattered to me then. What matters to you now,
Mistress of Light? You, nephew. The sword of a High King. How many lives must be lost before you accept the power you were born to wield? So cling to the promises of a god who has abandoned you. I cannot take up that sword again. You know what you must do. Great Light,
