PC Richard and Son, the company you can trust A man and woman were arrested after climbing to the top of the empire' state builduilding, waving a banner with some stupid quote about love, and getting engaged with the man down on one knee at one five hundred feet above the ground. Much of the commentary is focused on the recklessness, the danger to themselves, to the first responders, to pedestrians on the street below But not enough commentary has centered around how the couple is extremely good looking and the stunt was obviously cool. We will examine the morality of wacky public stunts. then Columbus, Ohio celebrates Somalia Independence Day instead of American Independence Day, just one day after the Supreme Court officially destroyed the last pretense of a coherent American identity.

I Michael Kows. this is the Michaelnows S show Welcome back to the show. a Gh Baddy has just won the Republican primary for a Colorado Cgressional seat. I can't believe this. that you know, sometimes I say, I hate to say I told you so, but this one goes all to mister Davies My producer has been saying four weeks now. He says, Michael, you've got to cover the Gh Baddies story. There are these good looking goth girls who are conservative, who are Republican. I said, what are you talking about? you freak, you pervert? stop I don't I'm not what's the news story about goth baddies, whatever.

Be part of making this film the number one movie in America for our nation's two hundred fiftieth birthday Biggest story yesterday. I'm traveling all around the country. I was in DC. I'll get into a little bit more of that in the coming days. Great, great trip to DC. Obviously interviewed the vice president. A lot of those clips are going going around the world. But the biggest story is I'm on the airplane yesterday flying back from Idaho was this crazy couple. that climbs to the very tippy top of the Empire State builduilding, the very highest point on the needle. they're at this point, what seeen hundred feet above the ground. They're waving this flag that has a stupid quote on it. Then they get down to the platform just below the top of the needle. The guy gets down on one knee and proposes. This is going on for hours The couple is fine. The first responders are fine. No one on the ground was hurt or killed. and the couple has been arrested. Now All of the commentary around this is about how reckless this was how reckless, how dangerous it was. It was reckless and dangerous and criminal. It was all those things. Some of the commentary has focused on the sign, the flag that they're waving. because the flag, it wasn't an Antifa flag. It wasn't a Palestine flag, wasn't a communist flag. The flag had this quote The quote said when the power of love beats the love of power The world knows peace And so a lot of the commentary said, wait, this couple risked their lives to climb to the top and wave around the equivalent of like a live laugh love sign from TJ Max. Like it wasn't even a sign of political import. These crazy people, these idiots, what a dumb political ideology. and the thing is The flag was not the point of what they did. These are not activists They're not, they don't have a serious political agenda. It was a stunt. The point was climbing to the top of the Empire State Buing and then proposing on one knee at the top of the Empire State Building. The sign was a little add on. That was nothing. The quote, a lot of people are reporting this quote is coming from Jimy Hendrixs, and I don't know, maybe he said that or something like that. The quote originates with the Victorian era prrime Mister of the UK, William Gladstone, who started out as conservative. He ended up becoming one of the most famous liberal prime ministers ever, though he was liberal in the nineteenth century more in a kind of classical sense of liberalism. And it wasn't the exact quote but it was similar to it. But that's all beside the point The politics has nothing to do with this. These people, these are not your urple haired, five thousand piercings tadted up everywhere, Antifip guys. In fact, They're very good looking. This is a theme of today's show, I guess, this's very good looking young people. They're actually somewhat famous. This couple, it's Angela Nicolau and Ivan Biocus They've done these stunts before. There's actually a Netflix movie about them called Skywalkers What will they risk to What will they risk to touch the sky? And I guess the Empire State Building is their latest stunt. And they're just good looking, wacky, adventurous young people This wasn't activism. So turn that it's very everything's activism these days, so we just read everything through an ideological lens. onene of the things I like about this stunt is It wasn't activism, It wasn't ideological. It kind of seemed that way almost at first. It's not It's just reckless young people doing a wacky, crazy, dangerous criminal stunt. And so I grade that Totally, totally differently This should not be imitated People imitate this, someone's going to die, mayaybe multiple people are going to die. It should not be imitated. However It is wacky It is fun And they are good looking. That actually does kind of matter because this was a spectacle. this was a stunt, and I'm not going to pretend to be angry about it People do these things from time to time. Remember the guy who walked on the highwire between the twin towers? When was that in the seventies or something, eighties That was wacky and fun and dangerous and criminal and he shouldn't have done it. but it's It so it's It's cool. It's obviously cool and we shouldn't lie about that It's one of those moments. Pe will remember it as a wacky cool, fun thing. all the problems that we face of all the real structural political problems, all of the decay, all of the social alienation, all of the young people checking out from society some some crazy risk takers doing a wacky even criminal sort of thing By the byy the relative measure of what's going on in our politics I'm not going to complain. It was a fun little news story for the day It was and it wasn't in your face activism and it was I'm not. don't do it. Not to be tried at home I'm not going to pretend to be angry These things happen throughout history, and it's It's actually Dellightful For society that people like this exist. It's actually a good thing. I will take a society where every once in a while, these kinds of people do a thing that is criminal and dangerous over a society of alternately checked out alienated people just playing video games twenty five hours a day and Antifa burning our country down and tearing down statues I'll take the Society of the wacky risk taking exuberant people any day of the week. Now That stunt did not make me angry Something yesterday made me very, very angry As you know, I get angry about twice a year and this really, really made me angry. And the craziest part of the story, the thing that made me angry this year Was Malcolm in the middle The thing that made me angry this year was a post from Frankie Munes you know, he was Malcolm in the middle. He was a child actor and then he became a race car driver H's what he posted Life Udates. Following a period of separation that we kept private, Paagege and Igess Pagees his wife have decided to move forward with ending our marriage After ten beautiful years together, we've grown in ways that made us realize our relationship feels most natural and strong as a deep friendship and as co parents That's the line that really It'd be bad enough If they were just, you know, they got married, didn't have kids, they split up, that would be bad enough You know, we just feel stronger It feels more natural if we're just friends and co parents. We share an incredible son who remains the center of our world, and we are both happier We are both happier. Who's we here? Who's we? We, I think Mr. Munees is referring to him and his wife I't think I don't think he's referring to his son We are both happier, stronger parents because of the love and growth we've shared I'm endlessly grateful to Paige for everything she's done for me. and our family. She put her own dreams on hold so I could chase mine and she was always my biggest supporter. That foundation of respect and friendship isn't going anywhere. Oh yeah, it's not We're excited building Munes racing together. I guess that's their company and to co parent our boy with the same teamwork and love we've always had We're closing one chapter with gratitude. We're closing one chapter That's how we refer to divorce to violating a contract made to the public and to God, to ripping asunder the entire world of the family and the planet on which children live. We're just closing one chapter with gratitude and opening the next bright futureures ahead for us as individuals and especially for our son, especially for our son You know, this we're just we're clos in one chapter. We have bright futures. This is, in other words This divorce is a really good thing for us as individuals That is a dubious claim. It's a ridiculous claim in itself It's beyond the pale This public announcement certainly requires public comment and criticism when someone has the to merity, either the complete obliviousness or the audacity claim that, you know, divorce is really good for our son Thank you for the love and support. We both choose not to entertain any questions in this matter. Please respect our familyil's privacy during this time Respect our privacy. H a long Here's a long diatribe talking about how great divorce is parents of a young child But please respect our privacy. And then the cherry on top of this was the initial post included a video of Munz and his wife Dancing with joy. Do we have the video Yeah, they're dancing. And then there's some text on it that says, Who says you can't stay best friends with your baby mama? minute Then they put the kid in the video And what's so tragic is it'd be easy to say, this Muniz is a really bad guy and he's doing something really awful intentionally and all this. I don't think that's what's going on here. In fact, I think it's the opposite. And when I posted about this yesterday on social media, Frankie Mun has actually responded to me and we'll get to his response, what's really motivating this, what this means politically and how we need to think about it. firstirst, I want to tell you about fasttering trees. Go to fasteringtrees. com use promo code Knlls, KWLES. There is something deeply satisfying about planting a tree, not in the abstract. I mean, literally planting a tree, you dig the hole, you put it in the ground, you watch something grow over time instead of staring at another screen all day. That is one of many reasons to love fastes Gowing trees they're America's largest online nursery with thousands of trees and plants for your yard or home. fruit trees, privacy trees, flowering trees, shrubs, house plants, whatever fits your space. I'm a little miffed because I don't really have much land. I basically have no land at all. And Mr. Davies has just sprawling acres and hills. and He got my fast growing trees coupon. and so he's getting all these nice trees getting the blueberries so that his kids get nice, fresh blueberries. What do I get I hope hopefully I'll get some land and then get some myself.

Thankks for getting it and I hope you enjoyed them. Okay Back to Frankie Munes. I I really, really hate this post that he made. I hate it. hate it. And I really hate the video I don't think I don't think he's a bad guy. In fact, look, he's a child star. All these people usually end up addicted to crack or, you know, in horrible situations. And it seemed to me like he was one of the people who fared the best. He was a child actor who then became a race car driver. He had a different career. and like that's cool, he seemed like a nice guy Sems like a nice guy But this is so wrong. This is so, so wrong. exemplifies everything wrong with the way that we think about marriage. and frankly, everything wrong with the way that we think about personersal virtue, advice and sin as a public matter Divorce is simply bad I'll go further profoundly evil Profoundly evil Man is a social creature and a coupling creature. So marriage is not just some social construct, as a lot of modern ideologues think it is, it's a natural institution Men and women are actually made for each other. and furthermore, that union is for a lifelong bond ordered toward the procreation and education of children, as well as the mutual good of the spouses. That's what it is for. When you blow that up You are doing a lot more than just closing down an accounting firm, okay? And it is especially awful and evil for kids. It just is. That's all it is. and What I think Frankie Munees is doing here, I don't think he's an ideolog, I dont he's an activist. mayaybe that's another theme of today's show, too. Those guys on the Epire State Building they're not activists. I don't think Frankie Munez is either. I think that it's a fallen world and we have a culture that is encouraging divorce and very conducive to divorce. and I think unfortunately, his marriage hit the rocks and now they intend to divorce and white they're trying to do is the same thing that a lot of virtually every couple that divorces does, which is they're trying to cope and they're telling themselves lies. And one of the chief lies that couples who divorce tell themselves is, this is actually better It it'll be better, not just for us individually, but for the kid. And it'll be better because the parents will be happier. And if we're happier, then we can be better parents to our kids. And it's just not true. It's just a lie. Divorce is only bad It's a fallen world It happens sometimes there is more that we can do as a political society to discourage divorce. We've had less divorce in the past. We've really opened up divorce in very recent years. New York state only liberalized to no fault divorce within the last fifteen years or so. Even New York, which is a liberal state. So it's a recent phenomenon that we've been encouraging divorce like this, but m perfect political regime. in a fallen world, some people will get divorced. That's a fact. That's what it means to live in a world pervaded by sin and death However Please don't make me lie about it. Please don't lie to yourselves about it For the love of God, do not make me celebrate it That's what I think people found so so offensive about this post. It's why it went so viral. It's why Frankie Munees responded to me. because what he said was, I don't have the exact text hereory. I saw it on the airplane as I was coming down last night. He said, we're not celebrating it. This is a really bad thing. It's a horrific thing, but we're just trying to do what's best for the kid and not be acrimonious all the time. And yeah yeah can't H your relationship remain just as strong or maybe even better when you divorce your wife or your husband By definition, your relationship gets worse, gets much worse and your kid feels that and you it is deeply scandalous. It's one of the most scandalous things you can do to a kid. And it happens, I'm not saying you need to jump off a bridge or climb to the top of the Epire state building and jump off. God forbidd. I'm just saying You need to accept that. You need to look that in the face. If you're going to divorce your wife or your wife is going to divorce you, you need to stare it right in the face and say, this is a bad thing. this is bad for us personally.ve never I've seen couples say' our lives are going to be so much better when we get divorced. It doesn't happen especially when you have a kid, there's really no such thing as divorce. You just go from having a bad marriage to a worse marriage because you're still dealing with the person all the time You're dealing with them financially, you're dealing with them socially. You got to go pick up the kids sometimes. Holidays become very difficult If you're going to do it, look the reality in the face and say I'm going to do something that is very likely going to be bad for me personally It's definitely going to be bad for my kid. It's scandalous to society. It drastically increases the likelihood that my kid will get divorced. will And if you're going to do it, There are going to be people who just do it anyway. and for whatever reason, marriage can be hard Life in a fallen world can be very hard. I'm not denying any of that But be honest about what you're doing And If you are honest about what you're doing It might give you a little bit of pause before you actually go through with it. I know plenty of people, friends and family who've gotten divorced And they think it's going to be sunshine of Roses or they at the very least think it's going to be an improvement over their lives in a state of a difficult marriage It's not. So know what you're doing going in Maybe take that very seriously. And for heaven's sake, do not make us celebrated. This to me, this is one of the problems with the liberal morality. Think about it even we just ended Pride Month Now we're in fourth of July month, but We'll get to the consequences of Pride Month with us Senator Scott Weiener, the truest deviant in all of American politics who has just succeeded at protecting even more sexual predators. another legislative win. But This is the problem with the liberal morality Most people mostost like even very religious people, very conservative people, if you say to them, hey It's a fallen world. Some people are kind of sexually a little bit aberrant, a little Dvianant, a little different. and they're going to kind of do their thing in the corner of society and we're all going to kind of look the other way, right? We're not going to make a big deal about it. Most religious and conservative people would say, yeah, right. We're not sending the aria, purity police to people's doors., of course that's not what the activists make us do That's not what the people who insist on this liberal conception of morality make us do. It's never enough They lie and they pretend that it's all about. Just leave us alone. just let us do our thing. stop caring about what stop being so nosy, get out of my bedroom, but that's not what they want They demand that you celebrate it That's what Pride mononth is The LGBT activists can tell you Day after day. Oh, no, we just want to be left alone. We just leave us alone Also, we need a permit so that we can wear leather and parade ourselves through main Street. Also, we need to change curricula in the public schools promote LGBT ideology. Actually, we need to redefine marriage at the level of the Supreme Court. actually, actually, actually Actually, you need to punish Christian baseball players because they don't want to wear the pride flag and if they wear the Pide flag on their hat, they might cite a Bible verse and you need to punish them for it. It's never leave us alone. It' they always go too far And they want to pretend that we're the unreasonable ones The conservatives and the religious people, I think are much, much more willing than the left to recognize it's a fallen world, things go wrong. Th things are a little weird sometimes. We're all going to try to deal with it together. It is the left that comes in and says, you're going to celebrate it It's like the old Sinfeld bit. you know, you're going, you're going to wear the pin we the rib You're going to put on the pride flag You're going celebrate we're we're going to dance for you're going to get up and dance for how great divorce is. four kids Not going to do it Sorry And the recognition that that little bit of scandal that in the littleittle things the Rot begins, the recognition that that necessarily leads down that slipperiest of slopes all the way down to a decadent and decayed society. That is why we take these issues so seriously. That is why that post from Frankie Munes went viral yesterday I feel bad for him because it's in lying to himself and to the public He's now only compounded his grief. Doesn't have to be that way. Okay. Speaking of sexual immorality Scott Weener. Scott Weener, nomanest Omen. Weener has he's running for Nancy Pelosi's congressional seat. He's the front runner. He just got chased out of the trans March because he's apparently not radical enough. Scott Weiener just not won yet another victory for sexual offenders in California get to that momentarily first I want to talk about preborn. Go to preborn. com slash Kns. America is a nation dedicated to life liberty and the pursuit of happiness for its citizens. Our founding fathers and the men and women that made this nation great fought for these principles.

Every gift is tax deductible preborn d. com slash gols Registered sex offenders in the state of California can now rest easy They are still allowed to run for public office. If you're a chomo in the state of California, if you're a child molester, If you're some other kind of if you're a rapist, if you're some other kind of sexual offender, don't worry. you too can still be in Congress thanks to Scott Weener Scott Wiener is was on the panel of state senators that was considering a proposal that would have prohibited child molesters and rapists and other sexual predators from running for public office And Weener along with some of his Democrat colleagues, killed the proposal Here is Scott Weiner explaining This is potentially a very dangerous road we're going down to say that minor crimes are going to ban you for life for running for office. We live in a democracy where people get to run for office, including people who have a lot of flaws Minor crimes is the most unfortunate euphemism I think I've ever heard for this subject, mininor crimes emmphasis on the word minor The way he explains this, he tries to make it seem as normal as. Well, you know, I mean, it's like totally. I mean, can you even imagine? I mean, people are saying just because you're like a child molester or a rapist, you can't even become the mayor of San Diego. I mean, it's just totally come on. I mean people make mistakes Seriously that's what we're doing now Yeah, off course, that's what we're doing. Of course, this guy's chief political achievement I'm not being hyperbolic. I'm not his chief political achievement as state senator, was reducing punishments for grown men who rape underage boys Look it up. if you don't I mean, you believe me, I think, I suspect in the audience, but some people say that can't be true. No, that's not even on the left. they'll say, no, you're exagerating. I'm not exagerating. That's actual chief political achieve is reducing punishments for grown men who rape underage boys. So yeah, of course, he thinks that se registered sex offenders should be able to run for public office What's so crazy this the craziest part is using the euphemism minor crimes, oh my goodness The craziest part other than that is that it's not just him You say, look, okay, Scott Weiener tries to promote sexual predator is like, ye, Breaking news sunhines, Baking news, fish are swimming. Yeah. that's what he does. That' That's his nature, I guess That's his political nature. What about San Diego State Senator Sabrina Cervantes What about Republican? U sorry, sorry, that's not fair State Senator Sabrina Servante and Republican state Senor Stevenenroy, they' the on who voted to prohibit the sexual predators It's Democrat state Senator Scott Wiener, Democrat state Senator. Umberg and Democrat state Senator Ben Allen. they're the ones who all voted to protect the Chomos I don't know that much about Kommberg or Ben Allen They're clearly not quite as flamboyant as Mr. Weener They voted the same way he did And it And it held So now the Chomos can keep running. In other words, the majority of this panel state legislators in California voted to protect the sexual predators And it That recognition that it's it'd be one thing if it were just this guy. you say, yeah, well, he's a complete freak and pervert, so I'm not surprised. This is now the mainstream view of the Democrat Party. The mainstream view of California Democrats is to elect child molesters to Congress and to mayoral offices and governor potentially That's the mainstream It's not a fringe view. It's not just something that exists on Blue sky or something That is what Democrats have elected people and the duly elected representatives of California say, we want to elect child molesters to public office It's the it's the same kind of radicalization that occurred within me and within many of us after Charlie was assassinated After Charlie was assassinated That was a great national trauma for all sorts of reasons not the least of which is that Charlie in his public life was the gracious, the charitable interlocutor trying to talk it out with the libs. He was so mainstream. He was so centrist and they still killed him. I mean, that was a big part of it But the other part that was so radicalizing is All those people afterward, who celebrated it It's not it's not shocking that Tyler Robinson transfury lover murdered a prominent conservative allegedly while he was talking about transgenderism.'s that's not sad It's horrible scary. That's not surprising What was surprising and radicalizing is that the lady who sits next to you at work D defended it and the waiter and the nurse and the teacher the elected Democrats and the Democrats on cable newews and that they were they were justifying this. They were minimizing this. They were celebrating this in some cases, after the fact. That's what made it such political Trump is you say, o huge it's not the majority, but a huge swath of the mainstream of the Democrat Party. wants to murder the most moderate and gracious of Republicans. That's the radicalizing thing And probably your grandma still thinks that, you know, Democrats and Republicans, we just disagree on a few things. But you know, at the end of the day, we all want what's best for the country. We want to live in a good civil polity No That might have been true twenty years ago. That isn't true now Democrat the Democrat partarty now in the mainstream wants to elect child molesters to public office And sububstantially wants to murder the nicest Republican you know. And I don't if I'm being hyperbolic Please prove me wrong. Please. show me the because I've read the numbers, I've seen the statistics. I've heard the quotes. I've looked at the votes. I don't I don't think I'm being unfair in any way And that's a very radicalizing fact. Okay Speaking of radicalizing events Columbus, Ohio is really excited for Iependence Day We all are, right? We're getting our bnting out, looking forward to hot dogs and fireworks. and oh, wait, hold on, wait, hold the for it They're not celebrating that independence Day They're not celebrating seventeen seventy six Columbus, Ohio is really excited to celebrate Somali Independence Day Columbus Parks and Rec, as we celebrate the unification of the trust territory of Somol Land and theate of Somoland and thealol Republic in nineteen sixty, blah And they a big picture there of a Somali star celebrating Somali independence Oo, first of all, the I guess the funniest thing about this post is that Somalia is not a real country. Somalia has undergone radical political transformation many times over the last century, and it is a failed state of pirates And indeed Even the liberals, if they were in some moments of candor would have to admit this, that's one of their arguments for taking all the Somalis into America On the one hand, they say, we have to take the Somalis into America because it's a failed state and it's an SHIT whole country and it's terrible. and it's not even a real nation. But then Ot of the other side of their mads, they say, and we're so excited to celebrate Somalian Independence Day. What a great country that is And why are they doing that? Because the Somalis that we took in, because on the grounds that Somalia is not a real country, those Somalis have greater political allegiance to a country in Africa than they do to our own country. And that is just a fact of rapid immigration. It's not even particular to Somalis or Africans or it's not like a racial or ethnic thing even necessarily. That's just how immigration works. That's why the great writers in antiquity through the Middle Ages, up to the modern era have observed that you have to be very, very careful when you're taking immigrants in because they can radically destabilize a country. And it's just a fact. though we have a lot of ideological pretensions in America and we think that America is just an idea, or we think America, you is a creed, or America is just, you know passing a civics test. Then you're as American as anybody canan't Repplace a people with a different people. and have the country remain the same country Now, you're not allowed to talk about replacement migration unless you're celebrating it. The United Nations has documents talking about replacement migration. The lefteft has published famous political science papers and even run campaigns about the glories of replacement migration. And when you celebrate it, that's okay. When you say it's happening and it might be a bad thing, of course, that's a neo Nazi evil, radical conspiracy theory. But it is happening, obviously. it's the Democrat's preferred strategy. and it's been going on for sixty years now And there have been they were antecedents even before that But let's just take it what the Democrats have done. is not to fully replace the country, but to just radically change the demographics of the country. And so you're seeing the consequences of it. But let's just take that idea to its logical conclusion, the logical conclusion of the Democrats immigration regime, the logical conclusion of the idea that America is merely propositional or credal Let's just say in imaginary world that you had a country And you took all the people of the country out totally different people in You still had the same physical constitution, you still had the same geography You still have the same buildings, you still have the same roads and streets, at least for a some period of time The question you have to ask yourself is, would that still be the same country It seems like I'm setting you up. It seems like it's stupid question. But I think if you really pressed a lot of people on that especially the ones who insist upon the creedal propositional character of America They would say, well, yes, it would be so long as they assimilate assimilate to what? You just took out all the Original people. let's say you just totally replace the people Would that be the same country I think a lot of them would say yes It obviously would not be Because a nation is the people And the people are informed by ideas and they're shaped by geography and they're shaped by buildings and all that. But the nation is the people That's what the nation is And so one of the real problems with the Somalis is they don't really love our country The Somalis have a particularly sticky and foreign cultural identity and they are a particularly criminal people, like it is a pirate country. they have just perpetrated one of the greatest frauds on the American government ever, as we're seeing in multiple states, not just Minnesota. But it's not I don't even really just mean to pick on the Somalis One of the problems is a lot of these modern migrants from really radical I'm not even talking about Latin America. I'm talking like really radical cultures. They don't love America. They don't have much in common with America. They want to replace American institutions with their own Even the crazy part is even if the immigrants did love their countries. Sorry, even if the immigrants did love the country that they're coming to, really love the United States, really want to be part of it, and there are plenty of immigrants like that evenven if that were the case too much immigration would still be a major problem. Even if they really wanted to assimilate right away, you can't. You can't do it. It takes time S samet Thomas Aquinas points out, it takes generations to assimilate. and he's not the first one. He's taking his lead from ancient Greek polit philosophers. It takes time. Th about it this way You an American? I'll use myself as an example I love the United Kingdom. I am super anglophile. I was just in the UK for the Oxford Union debate, not that a few weeks ago I love the UK or Italy. I love Italy My family comes from the UK and comes from Italy. I speak Italian. I studied Italian literature in college I've spent a decent amount of time in Italy If I moved to the UK tomorrow, or to Italy tomorrow. I would not be able to really be a Brit or an Italian I would not be able to preserve their culture and traditions I would still be a foreigner, even though I'm descend from their stock I speak their languages, I love their culture. I would want to assimilate, and I still wouldn't be able to do it because it takes time. It is not assimilation is not purely an intellectual matter. It's got to be in your bones. It's got to go through generations. The Fourth of July is not just about reciting a few lines from the Declaration of Independence, it's about doogs and fireworks and what you do and maybe going to the beach or going to a lake. It's about the games that you play with your kids. It's about playing cornhole, whatever it is It's these things that have to be learned over time. mass migration in the best of circumstances would be massively dangerous to the United States And we happen to be in the worst of circumstances, especially now since the Supreme Court Blew up one of the last major lim potential limitations on immigration. Okay What does that mean for our political order? It means there's a new political party coming up. Tucker Carlson is founding a new party. Tw hundred fifty years ago, fifty six men pledged their lives, their fortunes, and their sacred honor to birth the greatest experiment in self government the world had ever seen.

You know, these people taking mushrooms, they see little little gnomes everywhere I'm not sure what this gnome mushroom thing means But it'd definitely be a important of something As Michael is fond of saying Nomen Sed Omen. D Do you get it? punnt and I'm a sucker for a good noan the gnomes are a or an omen. okay That'sough that's enough of that. Tucker is founding a new political party In commentary to the Columbia Journalism Review, Tucker says I'm going to help build a third party. There should be a good faith effort to figure out what benefits the country He says, I mean If you make sixty thousand dollars a year, you're degraded. Your life expectancy has gone down, and the promise of your children's lives is likely gone. No one seems to care. It's not even a factor What about Hamas? I officially don't care about Hamas. The U.S. government should have as its first priority, the welfare of its own people. So it's interesting. rightite in those comments there, you get this idea, I want to build a third part Plenty of third parties have cropped up in the US. None them have worked, but they've cropped in the US in recent decades on the left and the right. Okay, want to build a third party? sureure We need a good faith effort to figure out what benefits our country. We need to, you know care for people who aren't making three hundred thousand dollars a year. You know, the forgotten men and women of America. The lower middle class, working class, we need to care about them. That's totally right. I agree. This comes up on the left and on the right in third party suggestions. But what is going to differentiate this? I mean, what is what's the secret sauce here? And Tucker kind of gets to it. he says What about Hamas? I officially don't care about Hamas. Right there, you get, okay. It's a party that is going to be defined at least in part hostility to America's relationship with the state of Israel whichich given Tucker's recent commentary is not totally surprising. Then he goes on, he says, how could I or any American voter support a political party that's not loyal to the United States So here, Tucker was a Republican. The accusation is that the Republican Party is not loyal to the United States, and I don't think it takes a PhD and pollyide to observe He's saying the reason the Republicans are not loyal to the United States is because they're loyal to the state of Israel, which is the foreign state that Tucker's founding this new partarty in opposition to. That puts the interests of a foreign country above those of its citizens. There you go. It's not possible to vote for people like that, and I'm not going to. Okay So for the kids in the audience You This might seem like a new idea. Even for some of the older people in the audience, this might seem like a kind of a new idea. There is major dissatisfaction with both political parties as there have been in recent decades, even. And so maybe there's an opportunity for a third party. But the American system is not a parliamentary system like in the UK or in Europe. And third parties don't really succeed that well here. But may, maybe there's a chance. And so this is something new That's what I think a lot of people are going to look at this and say, wow, Tucker is really starting something new here By it If you were around in the nineties, especially up to the year two thousand, you will recognize There is nothing new about this at all. This is the Reform Party. The reform Party, don not to be pedantic for those of you who live through it and remember it, but for those who don't. The Reform Party was founded in nineteen ninety five by Ross Peru, Ross Peru, who was the spoiler candidate. to take the election away from George H. W. Bush in nineteen ninety two Rossperoro runs as a spoiler Bush violated his promises on not raising taxes. and you know he seemed kind of just like a more establishment business Republican Rosbough takes a little of that cultural energy goes down. But then the Reform Party really starts to hit its stride in the public imagination because of Pat Buchanan Pat Buchan, who ran for the Republican nomination against George H. W. Bush in nineteen ninety two They spoke at the convention. Bush, I write about this in my book Speechless, Controlling Words Controll Mind, which is available wherever fiveine books are sold. They weren't ready for the bell. they weren't Yeah, you didn't expect it I haven't done it in a while. George HW writes about how now that the Cold War is over, we need to win the peace and we need to win the economic war. and it was just about basically neeoliberal globalism for America as the hegemon to regulate trade, so we don't really fight so much anymore. And it's all about economic issues. Pat Buchan, on the other hand, gives this great, great speech, one of the great convention speeches ever, which is the Culture W speech, in which he says, this country' going down the tubes because of the LGBT movement rising up and threats to marriage and the family So he's giving the real cultural But Buchan loses to Bush You can and then runs again in ninety six and then two thousand was really kind of the apotheosis of the Reform Party and The platform of Buchan in two thousand was America firstirst non intervention overseas Skepticism of the American relationship with Israel was definitely part of Pap Buuch Can's political platform. retetrenchment and focus on the forgotten men and women of America, great skepticism of neoliberalism and some of the economic agenda of the Republican Party over the last thirty years. It was advanced by a very popular pundit named Pat Buchanan, a very, very popular right wing pundit who then left the GOP. The parallels are just perfect And so when Tucker says he's founding this new political party This is not just Tucker kind of going crazy or being capricious or something like that She He's doing something that already happed Tuck Tucker's a clever political operator, as you may have noticed. And so it's not like this is just he's just shooting from the hip here He sees that there is a part of politics that has not been totally represented, and he wants to pull that up again. and just basically do the pap you can and road map as a pundit Tucker has become really filled in more of the Pap Buchanan lane And they're not perfect analogues for each other, but he's filled in more of that lane. And now he might do that in politics by founding this party, whether or not Tucker actually runs for president himself It's almost to a T. I mean, to Really, this new political party is just, it's a party like it's nineteen ninety nine. You know? we're going to have a party like it's nineteen ninety nine. And so I know there are a lot of Republicans who are really, really worried about this And there's a say Tucker is going to split the vote and I just don't think that's going to happen because this Eact thing happened before twenty five, twenty six years ago. They tried it It was really thirty years ago I guess, because of Perot's version of it They got like five votes, you know, Like it didn't work. They Peru might have hit around one percent of the vote. Buchanan didnt didn't crack one percent, didn't come anywhere close,'t didn't win an electoral vote. doesn't matter.. It's not that there' is it's not that there's no appetite for this kind of thing. It's not that the GOP and the Democrats are perfect, obviously far from it. but We've heard this song before. Now, I guess that what Tucker might be betting on is that twenty twenty six is different than two thousand What he might be betting on is the political conditions are now such that this is a time, you know the Buchan Reform Party It was an idea whose time had not yet come, but now the time has come I just remain very skeptical of that. I am not one of these people who is constantly complaining about the Republican Party, though many Republicans are like that I don't want a third party. I don't invvey against our two party system. I think the two party system is actually pretty efficient. I think the two party system actually pretty adequately represents the divergent political views and provides the best opportunity for most of people's concerns to come to the fore I know we all hate the two party system. It's the wor kind of party system in the world except for all of the other ones. But I just don't see this as doing very much. You know, Kanya tried to start a party Was it the birthday party and then Elon tried to start a party, the America partarty. I don't know. I mean, Tucker is such a clever political guy. I don't even know that he seriously intends for this to be a major political party or even to have a presidential candidate. This might be like three or four DS. I just I don't know. I don't have a read on his intentions and I'm not going to psychobabble about him, but just from the raw mechanics of it U No, I don't Some things have changed since the year two thousand, but not enough And the trajectory of America has not changed enough, I don't really see this happening. So if you're If you're a Republican worried about the demise of the GOP because of this third party, I just think All of history attests that this is not really really a threat to you. Okay. There's so much more. I want to, Ohh, you know what? I gotta. I'm sorry Now, maybe this is like the perfect tease. This is like the perfect te. This is like literally a tease, I guess A Goth Baddy has just won the Colorado Congressional primary I'm only using that phrase because Mr. Davies insisted upon it And then his prediction came true. But this woman, Kelly Dennison She just won it. And she's a twenty seven year old massage therapist. She could be one of the youngest people in Congress And u She's probably not going win because it's a major deemocratic district, but her candidacy is very, very interesting becausecause the question on at least Mr. Davies' mind is when did the Gh baddies become conservative? My answer is maybe kind of always. Anyway, we'll have to get to it tomorrow because today is D he Thursday. Finally Finally, A, it was driving me nuts, man, that you were skipping my tehe Hees. It's D Thursday. The rest of the show continues now. you do not want to miss it become a member of use code Knols Cana, UAS at check out for two months forree on All annual plans
