The polls are mixed, but there's a little happy news on the horizon. Ilhan Omar legitimately might get deported the latest development in this now months long investigation into what appears to be an immigration fraud case against Ilhan Omar is that the feds have obtained DNA evidence reportedly proving that Ilhan Omar did in fact marry her brother. So that means that she would have committed immigration fraud. She would have aided her brother in committing immigration fraud for him to become a U.S. citizen. Now, this is a little strange because there was that pre-dawn raid on Ilhan Omar's home, which seemed to focus on whether or not Ilhan Omar committed immigration fraud herself. So that's actually an unrelated case. You say, how do these two intersect? Well, the basis of the home raid appears to be that Ilhan Omar lied about when she was born. And this is because Ilhan Omar got her citizenship at the age of 17 through a program that allowed the minor children of naturalized citizens to get citizenship more easily. So you could say, all right, Ilhan Omar personally is not all that culpable because she was a minor at the time. So really that would reflect on her father. However, if Ilhan Omar has repeated the false birth date, if Ilhan Omar when she's applying for passport, when she's altering her documents, potentially even a birth certificate, if she continues to use the false birth date, then she herself would be committing a kind of fraud that would also reset the statute of limitations, which is 10 years would have already expired to go after her apparently illegitimate naturalization. There was another report that came out a week ago that we talked about on the show in which Ilhan Omar's staff went in and changed her documents, her official documents with regard to her birth date when she was elected to Congress, so that implies some kind of knowledge that there was this immigration citizenship issue. But then you say, okay, well, I get the case against Ilhan Omar, but why then are they bringing up the issue of marrying the brother to help him commit immigration fraud? Well, according to the reporting, it is because that would be evidence of a conspiracy to commit immigration fraud. So we have here from the New York Post, given that the case is being pursued as a general conspiracy, the evidence will prove useful even if some of the acts fall outside the statute of limitations, according to a former federal prosecutor, Nehama Ramini, if you argue a conspiracy, you can allege overt acts and furtherance of the conspiracy that are outside the statute of limitations. So this means that we still have time, I don't know, two weeks, a little under two weeks now. No, I guess almost exactly two weeks, for a proper October surprise before the election. Our politics is really heated up, and this will pertain a little bit to the Ohio Amy Acton mom calling her daughter a liar ad, where people say, wow, our politics has gotten really, really brutal, hasn't it? Yeah, I think so. You remember how the Democrats tried to prosecute the former president of the United States four times and keep him off of a ballot so that people couldn't vote for him and then justify his assassination multiple times? Yeah, yeah, I think we're in pretty brutal political times. And this is a shock to many people who remember the Halcyon days of the 80s and 90s when politics was more civilized and amiable and clubable, at least in nostalgia, which is history after a few drinks. But don't forget, for most of the history of politics, it is literally a blood sport. Not even figuratively a blood sport, as it is right now, is literally a blood sport where kings and emperors and nobles were all like killing each other and chopping off each other's heads in order to win power. So this is pretty serious, yes. Yeah, deporting a member of Congress, that would be pretty wild. But also, how did we get to this point? How did we get to the point where someone who comes to this country fraudulently can not only be allowed to stay here, but can actually be elected to Congress? Someone who openly embraces America's enemies, who jokes about Al Qaeda, which perpetrated the worst terror attack against America ever, says, well, Al Qaeda, how did we get here? It is such an indictment of our current politics that Ilhan Omar is in Congress, that that is really the scandal. Far more than the fact that extraordinary times call for extraordinary measures up to and including deporting a member of Congress. So we'll see how that goes. But the prosecution here, or at least the investigation, does seem to have really dotted its teeth and crossed its eyes. I mean, this seems to be a very, very thorough going investigation. You remember Tom Homan was on TV about a month ago. He was asked about this and he was pretty cautious in his comments because he wants to allow the investigation to play out. There was a federal judge involved in that, the DOJ involved in that, DHS involved in that. So there is some cause for hope that we could get rid of Ilhan Omar. Okay. Now, speaking of down and dirty politics and family controversies and politics, we're getting big, big updates on this advertisement I talked about yesterday against Amy Acton in Ohio. This was the lead story of the show yesterday. What I called the most brutal political ad I have ever seen when Amy Acton, the Democrat gubernatorial candidate in Ohio, she has her mother come on this ad and say my daughter is a liar. She's making all these claims about how she was raised and she's making them up. They're not true. She's a liar and you can't have a liar for governor. So voters of Ohio make sure you do not elect my daughter. Absolutely brutal ad. And what was unusual about the ad that was spreading on social media was it didn't have the disclaimer at the end, you know, paid for by Vivek or paid for by some super PAC or paid for by students concerned about the Democrats winning the governorship. And so that was a little unusual. The ad did not air on TV. The ad did not air on radio. It was not even formally. It wasn't on Google ad sense or any of the Facebook or any of these things. It just kind of popped up virally on social media. So now we get the story. The story that based on some reporting yesterday and then the Ramaswamy campaign has come out and said it itself is that the ad was in fact being tested by the Ramaswamy campaign. So when the ad makers and the strategists come out and they can cocked all sorts of ads and then they will test them. They'll focus group them. They'll send them out. They'll get feedback on it. And if the ads don't do well, they kill the ad. If the ads do do well, then they'll they'll air them and then you'd get the little disclaimer on it. In this case, the ad leaked before the testing was done. That's why it was going viral on social from media yesterday. And, of course, the Acton campaign and Acton supporters immediately raised a hullabaloo about it and said, this is outrageous. My mom is lying. So you get, you get the first claim from maybe Acton saying, my childhood was very, very bad and my mother was terrible and I overcame all these awful challenges and I lived in a tent for a while, it was really, really bad. Amy Acton's mother comes out and says, "My daughter is lying." So okay, you have these two competing claims. And as everyone is raising this hullabaloo about it, I pointed out, I said, okay, hold on. You got Amy Acton making one claim about serious claims, about neglect and abuse and court cases and criminal charges and then you get the mother coming out and saying, that's not true, she's a liar. There is a pretty easy way to resolve this conflict. The easy way to resolve this conflict is to find some court documents, find some legal documents to see who's telling the truth here. So as of yesterday, not just during this show, but all the way through midday yesterday, we didn't really have a lot of evidence of these documents. These claims have been around for a long time. The Ramaswamy campaign did not invent these claims. This has been present since 2020 and still in the reporting from all these interviews of Amy Acton, you don't see any evidence of the court documents. In fact, if you go to the county's website, you're not going to find any evidence of criminal charges or juries or anything like that. That all changed midday yesterday when national review, a conservative outlet, long standing conservative outlet, comes out and obtains the court documents. So that gives a big boost to Amy Acton, so you can see it's such a boost, I'm knocking furniture over on my set, gives a big boost to Amy Acton and it takes away a lot of credibility from the mother. So all of a sudden now this ad could have a negative effect. Now, it's very unclear if it will because there's some severe political malpractice. Put aside the moral question for a second. There's some severe political malpractice here from the ad makers and the strategists. Because if you're going to come out with a brutal, brutal ad like this, you need to have everything lined up, especially if this is a controversy that has been around for years. The Amy Acton's been in public life for a pretty long time now. And she was the, she was the COVIDs are in Ohio. She locked down Ohio. She was kind of the face of COVID there. And so she's been in the spotlight for a very long time. And there have been all sorts of issues with her family. There are the claims about her childhood, her mother, her abuse. There are also multiple 911 calls apparently from Amy Acton's kid about domestic disputes within her own house. So there's been a lot of weird stuff going on in the Acton family. If you're the ad maker here and you're going to come out with this brutal attack, which is the mother calling the daughter a liar, you need to make sure that the story is totally straight. And the ad makers didn't. The strategists didn't. National review within a matter of what, eight or 10 hours was able to obtain these documents. The ad makers, the strategists absolutely should have done that. Because this ad is targeting late breaking voters. The race was essentially tied. There's actually a little more momentum for the Ramaswami side. The vape was starting to lead a little bit more in the polls. But at this point, nobody, very, very few people are still undecided in the Ohio governor's race. The people who have a relatively coherent view of politics on the left and on the right, they already know who they're voting for. And their issues are not about family disputes and their issues are not about tabloid stuff and sensationalism. Their issues are, are we going to murder babies? Are we not going to murder babies? Are we going to flood the country with illegals? Are we going to deport illegals? Are we going to burden businesses and take people's property away? Are we going to increase economic dynamism? Whatever, on and on and on. It's those late breaking voters. Those are the ones that you've got to focus on. And the late breaking voters don't have a particularly coherent worldview. If you've gotten to this latest stage in the campaign and you still don't know who you're voting for, you got one party that says we should castrate little kids and turn little boys into little girls, which is not possible. And you got one side that says we shouldn't abuse little kids that way. You know, you can't make up your mind between those two things. That means that your political views are highly, highly emotional. So that is the group that's being targeted here. And the bigger malpractice is because this issue has been around for so long, the act in campaign already had a response in the can. They were already anticipating this kind of attack. So how is this going to play out in the Ohio governor's race? We'll get into that in a second. First though, I just mentioned the abortion issue. I want to tell you about pre-born. Go to pre-born.com/nolescanadavls. It is remarkable how much can change in a single moment, a conversation, a decision. Something you see for the first time that changes the way you understand everything. For a mother facing an unexpected pregnancy, that moment can come when she sees her baby on an ultrasound. That is exactly what pre-born is making possible. At pre-born network clinics, women facing incredibly difficult circumstances are met with compassion, practical support, and a free ultrasound. They're given the opportunity to see their child hear that heartbeat and know they don't have to face the future alone. The results are extraordinary. Pre-born reports that more than 50,000 babies have been saved this year alone, along with more than 5100 commitments to Christ. Here is how pre-born's president, Dan Steiner, describes the impact. Because of you, we can invite mothers considering abortion into a pre-born network clinic to meet their baby. And when she has that close encounter of the best kind in her womb, she is 80% more likely to choose life. Think about that. Something as simple as giving a mother the chance to meet her child can make an extraordinary difference. Now, pre-born wants to help rescue 50,000 more babies. You can be part of that. Just 28 bucks sponsors an ultrasound and can help save a baby's life. To give, del pound, 250, say the keyword baby, that's pound 250 keyword baby, or donate securely at preborn.com/noleskin.wls. That is preborn.com/noles. All gifts are tax deductible. How is this going to play out? Right now, the most recent polls we've got, active votes survey conducted September 27th through October 19th. Among 400 likely midterm voters, puts a Vivek at 51.4% act in at 48.6%. Margin of error is almost five points, so it's a tide race. There's another survey, coefficient survey, conducted October 5th and 6th, among 925 likely general election voters, showing Vivek at 45 act in at 43, again, well within the Margin of error. So what is this ad going to do? The fact that the Ramaswamy campaign has come out and said, yeah, no, it's on us. We're not trying to squirm out of it or anything like that. We're not going to blame it on some outside group. I don't know, we're behind this ad. The fact that they're taking responsibility says, they're going to run the ad. Yeah, it wasn't on TV. Now it's going to be on TV. We're doubling down. We're tripling down on this ad that a lot of people find very, very objectionable. Huge, huge dynamic in the race and what it suggests is that the ad was testing well. Now, I'm very skeptical that the ad will play well. At this point, given the fact that the strategists and the ad makers behind it had not track down the documents, had not put everything in a row, I'm skeptical. Because even if the survey data show that it plays well among Ohio voters, the problem is political ads play within a dynamic system. So while they were testing it, it might have played very well with voters. But now you have to view the ad in light of all of the other news coverage that they're going to get, painting Amy Acton, pretty legitimately in a very sympathetic light. All of the news coverage, which is already in favor of Amy Acton to begin with. So I am skeptical that this is going to work. This is a very, very high-risk play for the vague campaign. But then of course you have to ask yourself, all right, what about the voters who do have a coherent view of politics? To me, the first thing I thought of when I saw this ad is Willie Horton. Do you remember Willie Horton? Until this ad, Willie Horton was considered the most brutal political campaign ever. And who did it come from? It came from George H.W. Bush, the most mild-mannered, wasp establishment, kind of Republican there was. And this was during the 1988 campaign against Mike Tukakis and the ad was accused of being race fading and dog whistling. And it said, hey, here's this black criminal. And Mike Tukakis, when he was governor, he let him out on a furlough. And the guy went out and raped and pillaged and burned and was just this awful guy. So anyway, if you want, black criminals going around and moroting through the streets vote for Mike Tukakis. It was, by the standards of 1988, that was as vicious as brutal as down low as it gets. Didn't affect the race. It didn't affect George H.W. Bush's chances in a negative way, I should say. Maybe it did affect the race, but it did not blow back on George H.W. Bush. Now we live in 2026, the era of like one major political party defending assassinations. And we live in just a much higher pressure, high intensity time. So the question is, is this going to blow back on the vague? Does the ad change your political priorities? Is there anyone who cares deeply about these issues? Who's going to say, well, you know what? That ad from the vague campaign, it was just so nasty. Now I'm going to vote for the woman who wants to transfer kids. Now I'm going to vote for the woman who locked down the state during COVID. Now I'm going to, I don't think so. People, people can view the ad with terrible program and say it was awful and blow the bell. And they can do all of that. But I don't think for people who, for whom politics is primarily about issues and the common good and I don't think that's really going to change their votes. The issue is, what about that 3% of voters who are still kind of on the fence? For them, a politics is entirely emotional and the act in campaign played this perfectly. They knew it was coming. They were set up for it. They already cut ads about it. They played this perfectly. It does make her look more sympathetic. It does call attention to the fact that she had this horrific childhood. There's no question about that. So is that going to play? If we're here, the way to analyze the ad is not how does some beltway policy wonk react to the ad? I don't know, say it's all terrible. What about the 3% of voter, whatever it is, that's not a real number, 3%, 5% of whatever a small percentage of Ohio voters are still undecided. They're going to see an ad of this mother from a severely dysfunctional family that clearly remains dysfunctional to this day. And the mother says, my daughter's a liar, don't vote for her, is that going to be enough to push them over the edge to say, okay, we're going to vote for the Republican? Or are they going to see the news coverage? And say, oh, this is awful, Amy Acton had such a horrible childhood and the mother's really terrible. And regardless of policies, regardless of governance, regardless of Amy Acton's current behavior, I'm going to vote for her because I feel badly for her. That's the issue. And regardless, the ad will be a flashpoint. There's no question. Not even so much as a moral or ethical matter, really more from the advantage of political tactics. The ad makers behind this ad will either be fetted as wicked geniuses, or will go down an infamy for this blundering kind of tactic. The real politicos who are watching this, they're kind of writing off the moral issue. Democrats go after Republicans' families all the time and they make light of all sorts of serious crimes, including murder and rape and all. So it's, you know, politics is a blood sport and it's just kind of a given that's a descriptive fact of politics. The question is, will the fact that the ad makers were unprepared for the response, which no one could have predicted? You think you launched that attack? You must be prepared for the response, they weren't. The ad makers lack of preparedness. The act and campaigns total preparedness will that really affect the diet. It doesn't affect the issues. It doesn't affect the trajectory of the country. It doesn't affect questions about the common good. It's only about the, essentially the emotional manipulation of the voters, who is going to be able to do that in a race that is dead even and it's been dead even for weeks and months. Totally unclear. I offer no prediction whatsoever. Okay. Speaking of rough polls, though, there's a tough one from Gallup out about the GOP broadly. We'll get to that in a second. First though. I want to tell you about lean. Go to takelean.com, Codenoles, can it be well yes? There is a very convenient time to start taking your health seriously, January, always January.

When asked whether the two major parties, political views are too extreme or generally mainstream, 59% of Americans call the Republican Party too extreme. While 43% labeled the Democratic Party as such, the resulting 16 point gap is by far the largest in Gallup 7 reading since 2000. This is devastating. This is absolutely devastating. I'm not a doomer. I'm not a black pillar. I am a tried and true conservative and I'm very hopeful and I generally have a rosy attitude toward life. This is a devastating number because it means that Republicans have now lost their biggest advantage from 2024. What was the Republicans biggest advantage in 2024? Was it the immigration issue? No, that was part of it. Was it the bad economy under Biden? Yeah, that was part of it. Was it fumbled foreign policy under Biden? It was part of it though a little bit less. The biggest Republican advantage was common sense, the common sense issue, which you sometimes see come up in the cross tabs of polling. The common sense issue, which no less a political visionary than Antonio Gramsci, the radical leftist, the radical communist, very influential in the development of the American New Left. Antonio Gramsci pointed out a revolution can't succeed if a party or if a politician loses the common sense. You have to have the common sense of the people. You have to have a connection to that in order to win. Trump is the king of this. Trump really taps into this feeling of common sense. Other Republicans a little bit less so. Where you saw this show up in 2024 as an issue was the transgender ideology. The reason the transgender ideology mattered so much in 2024 is not because people care all that much about sex stuff, not because there are so many kids who were becoming trans identifying, though the number was increasing. The reason is because it revealed that the Democrats had no common sense. If a Democrat can say that a boy is actually a little girl, that means the Democrat has no judgment whatsoever. And so you can't trust him on any of the issues that we really do care about. Like our wallets and our security and our immigration and on and on and on and on. The GOP had a lock on common sense. This poll saying that the GOP is too extreme is devastating because the Democrats still believe in amnesty for tens of millions of illegals. The Democrats still believe in an open border that was letting 3 million people in per year until Donald Trump fixed it a year and a half ago. The Democrats still believe in castrating little kids. The Democrats still believe in murdering children up until the moment of birth if not later. In fact, the Democrats are only getting more extreme on basically all of those issues. So what would what would impeller voter to say that the GOP has gotten too extreme? Well, it's some of the propaganda around deportations. Most of us would say the problem with the deportations is there aren't quite enough of them. But some of the propaganda that was set up by the Democrats in Minnesota, which portrayed ICE as the Gestapo, that seems to have worked. The Republicans, I don't know, maybe the Iran War kind of disillusioned some people because also because that had inflationary pressures on the economy. Maybe that is impelled some of this number, but regardless, it's a devastating number. The GOP, two weeks after the election, has lost its chief issue, ideological advantage. So now what we are coasting on is the connection between President Trump and the voters. That is about it, but otherwise most of the other GOP politicians, the GOP consultant class, the ad makers, the strategists, they seem to be pretty weak. So let's look at the trans issue specifically because there's an update for my friend, NS Canter Freedom. I was just with NS, you can check out our very hard-hitting interview on the Michael Niles YouTube channel and on the daily wire. NS wants to join the WNBA. WNBA has come out. They've said, look, we don't support exclusion. If trans identifying athletes want to play, we're all for openness and inclusion. There is the coach of the fever, which is one of the lady basketball teams. Here is the coach just a few weeks ago answering a question about whether the WNBA is going to let men play. What is your stance on men or athletes who test is biological male participating women sports? What's your personal stance? Yeah, I mean, I don't know that I would say that I'm educated enough from a scientific standpoint. I don't ever believe that exclusion is an answer. I do think when we think about various levels of sport, various governing bodies of sport and things that go into that, like I said, I'm not educated enough at the different levels, I know growing up, I play with the boys all the time. So you weren't girl sports? Would you welcome a biological male and WNBA? Again, it's like, I don't know when we talk about biological male and scientifically where we are, I think it's a totally different scenario. As I said, I'm not educated enough in terms of transgender and transitioning to give you a smart answer. I would say, though, that I just don't feel like exclusion is an answer. And I think that we need to have deeper, more layered conversations. Can you be okay with them in the locker room? Have everybody any guys? Yeah. Is there any frustration because you guys are in a really fantastic run that this is distracting from that? You know, there is a frustration, of course, because we want to talk about basketball, and we want to continue to work on our game, and we want to continue to grow as a team. But I also understand, this is part of our growth edge as a league, right? It's part of our growth edge as a league, and we have to be able to manage. We have to be able to insulate as much as we can, and then we have to be able to lead with conversation. Okay. So. blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. I can't tell you what a man is or what a woman is. And this is crucial to the fight, the point that NS Cantor Freedom is making because he says, well, all right, the collective bargaining agreement for the WMBA says that only women can play a not-man. All right, well, then what is a woman? It's the wash question. What is a woman, what is a man? If I say that I'm a woman, can I play in the league? And the WMBA won't give an answer on this, and the coach of the fever won't give an answer on this, and nobody seems to be able to answer the question. Until yesterday, the WMBA Commissioner Kathy Engelbert has finally told Republican lawmakers who were really pressing the issue, said, NS Cantor Freedom and the other guy Royce White are ineligible to play in the league because they are both men. With respect to your questions regarding eligibility, only women are eligible to play in the WMBA, and the individuals you cite in your letter are both men. Therefore, they can't play. But of course, this doesn't answer anything because in order for the WMBA Commissioner to say that NS Cantor Freedom, who wants to play, is ineligible to play because he's a man, in order to say that, you have to say what a man is, and what a woman is, and if you do that, then you have to set boundaries. Either you have to say trans identifying players can't be in the league, in which case, what the fever lady just said is wrong, and you are excluding people, or you have to say that NS Cantor Freedom can play in the league, which the Commissioner is unwilling to say. So here is NS giving his reaction to his rejection from his dream job. - You know, Kathy Engelberg cannot clearly define what a woman is, but she's absolutely certain that I'm a man. I mean, how does that make sense? Who gets to decide who has the authority to determine whether someone is woman, you know? And the MBA has been dealing with questions about eligibility and gender identity. Yet, its Commissioner has written a letter to members of Congress declaring that I'm a man. So if the league is still working through these questions, how can its Commissioner be so certain about my eligibility without explaining the standards that she's applying? So what about the task force? If the task force itself has not reached that clear definition, why is the Commissioner making such a definitive statement? - Okay, so the real takeaway from all of this, it's delightful. I love that he's doing this. I love that the GOP lawmakers made the WMBA finally answer the question. But the real takeaway from this, I think most people are hearing it and they're trying to get even more in the weeds. Well, no, but hold on, ha ha, gotcha, owned with facts and logic. See, because you're not defining woman as someone with two X chromosomes, even though there actually are women who don't simply have two X chromosomes, people with a turner syndrome, for instance, or other kind of genetic anomalies. Okay, but forget about that. Well, you're not defining woman or man as this and boom, boom, boom, a woman is an adult female human being. But even that doesn't, I mean, I've always said, the real answer to the question, what is a woman's sugar spice in everything nice? It actually does comprise gender roles and it is bigger than biology and put that aside for a second. The real takeaway is everybody knows. Everybody knows what a woman is. Everybody knows what a man is. And no one's going to win this fight by pointing to some line from a biology textbook. This gets to a fundamental misunderstanding of what politics is about. There are some people in our highly ideological liberal modern age who think that politics is just about facts and logic and it's not and it never has been. Certainly, our political order has a dearth of facts and logic at the moment. But even if we were a totally functioning political order, it wouldn't just be about facts and logic. It's also about spirit. It's also about the thumas. It's also about the chest. And in addition to that, it's about the appetite. I mean, the whole point of the House of Representatives is to represent the repetitive part of the nation, of what the people desire. In some ages, people desire chocolate ice cream. In some ages, they desire vanilla ice cream and our constitutional system is built to allow for both of those things. And our constitutional system, after the failure of the Articles of Confederation, meant to give more spirit to the government so that the government could be energetic to use the word of Alexander Hamilton, the Federalist Papers. And the government needs to have a rational logical element, which today is probably embodied in the Supreme Court. And so you need to have all of those things. And the controversy over what is a woman or the trans bathrooms or men and women's sports or whatever, really comes down to the fact that everybody knows what's going on, but they have other priorities. They want to be inclusive. They want to be liberal. They resent the limitations that come with sex and gender. That includes women. That includes especially feminists who resent those limitations. So they're going to deny them and pointing out the reality to them is not going to change it. A lot of this actually pertains to the abortion debate. We think that we're going to win the abortion debate by just facts and logic. And in part, that happens. I was convinced when I was a teenager, I was raised in a place where there essentially were not pro-lifers. And so I never saw anything really wrong with abortion. Then I had a conversation one day with a bioethicist and she convinced me I was wrong and then I became pro-life. So I was convinced through facts and logic. Also I was convinced maybe through the credibility the ethos she had because she was a woman. And I thought to be pro-life, you had to hate women, but here was a woman tell you. So actually there was even more than facts and logic to my own conversion many, many years ago on the issue of pro-life. But for, I think for a lot of women who are going out there with the signs, my body, my choice, shout your abortion, for a lot of them, I don't think it's about a misconception. I'm just getting the facts wrong. I think it's because they feel guilty because they killed their kids or they know someone who killed their kids. So you have to speak to them in a different way. And on this point, we need to keep up the fight for NS Canter freedom to fulfill his dream job. But recognize you're not just going to win it by saying, boom, it's two X chromosomes, owned lib, that the lib is going to look at you and say, yeah, okay, whatever. And they're going to babble a bunch of nonsense like the WNBA commissioner. And it's not going to make any sense, but it won't matter because they're just going to exercise power in accordance with their desires. Okay. Now speaking of aberrant sexual perspectives, I have to get to the evolution of President Trump's new favorite comedy bit talking about the dairy air of Senate candidates. First though, I want to tell you about GOP votes. The Democratic socialists of America won primaries across the country next. They're coming for Congress and they're coming for you. If they win the midterms, they will defund the police, reopen our border and force men and women's sports. You are the last line of defense and GOP votes.org is your partner in the fight. Go to GOPvotes.org right now and make a plan to vote early. If you live in the critical Senate battleground states of Alaska, Michigan, Maine, Ohio, Iowa, or Texas, early voting is already underway this week. Democrats are energized. The stakes have never been higher. We cannot afford to have people like AOC and her communist party is running the show. That is why I need you to make a plan to vote early right now. Go to GOPvotes.org to find your polling location, vote early, and stop the socialist takeover of America, paid for by SLF PAC, not authorized by any candidate or candidate's committee. My favorite comment is raised from Elijah Wendt, Dorothy Kruthos, who says, "Since I'm a Christian and have been born again, can I get a Trump account and a share from SpaceX?" And good question, the problem is that that kingdom to which you refer is not of this world. So the money that you are getting from the Trump accounts at SpaceX, which is important to the maintenance of our bodies, that is the kind of money that is rendered unto Caesar and not exactly the money that is rendered unto God. So look, I got kids that were born before the Trump accounts came out. I want their Trump account. I want my Trump account. Probably not going to happen. And if the Democrats retake the government, it's definitely not going to happen. Hey, can Christians get any political favors at all? No, we go to the gulags, okay, that's fine. President Trump on the campaign trail, we've covered it now twice. Here we go, here's the third time, here's a punchline. President Trump keeps making headlines for talking about the physique of a male Senate candidate. - And I'm studying his body. I've never studied the body of a man before. It's not my thing. Nothing wrong with it, of course. Nothing, I always preceded by saying nothing wrong, but it's never been my thing to be honest with you. But I looked at his ass. And then I looked at his legs. And it might, I said his ass, it's like a pile of muscle that I looked at his legs. And I said, "Man, his feet are big." Then I looked at his shoulders, and I tapped him on their shoulder, and it actually hurt my hand. It was like a piece of steel. And I said, "This guy's a monster." And John Gooden told me that he was a violent tackler of this, but he never talked about it. He was an all-American football player. And by the time I finished with that story, he went from being 10 points down to being two points today. A pole came out, he's two points up. (audience cheering) I love the bit. So he's now done this multiple times. He knows the reaction it's gonna get, but it's getting even more elaborate. This is, when Trump comes out there, he does the lead up. He goes, "I was standing there, and I'm looking at a man, and I don't usually look at men. Nothing wrong with that." Even there, even there, there's nothing wrong with it. It's like the old Jerry Seinfeld bit. You know, not that there's anything wrong with that. Not that there's anything wrong with that. homosexuality, but even there, he laughs about it as if to say, well, there's probably something a little wrong with it, but hey, look, I'm not saying there's anything wrong with it, but he's doing the lead up. This is like Paul McCartney's on stage and you get the base starts plan and the drums start going a little bit, you get a little bit. And then when Trump goes, so I examine disaster, that that's the moment when McCartney leads he goes, hey, Jude, and then the crowd goes crazy, they know it's coming, they've come to expect it. And now one of his hits and then he builds it up instead of, you know, and he's got his shoulder was really strong. Now he goes, I tapped his shoulder and hurt my hand and he knows because it's working because the numbers keep going up. So I love it. Trump just is a consummate showman, his connection to the audience is perfect. He has the feel of a standup comedian, a very, very good standup comedian. He is totally plugged in to the appetite and the ethos of the country. Love that. And into the logos for that matter because he represented the common sense kind of candidate. The rest of the GOP might not have that. And right now the polls, it's astounding. I mean, the polls are essentially a dead heat everywhere. There is a world in which the Republicans hold the Senate and don't lose that much in the House. That is possible. But because all of these races are teetering and because you're getting these massive Hail Mary kind of plays like you're seeing in Ohio right now, it could tilt in any direction. The margin between the two candidates and all these places is smaller than the margin of error. This could be, it could be a wipe out or it could be nothing. There have been plenty of times when we were expecting the big red wave, 2022 or expecting the big red wave. And it just didn't totally happen and you could see that playing out here, but you basically have this one man, Trump, who is like doing 1000 rallies a day, not sleeping, hitting great comedy routine, still has the connection to the voters, the rest of the GOP though does not quite have it. So then looking ahead to 2028, you say yikes. When you remove the big, the giant magnet from the assemblage of all the little magnet filament, what's going to happen? You're going to get total chaos. So let's turn from the president to the vice president, I mentioned this yesterday, we didn't have time to get to it. We'll get to it a little bit today. Vice President JD Van sitting down, does a town hall with CBS where every topic is open, he wants everything out there on the table. First big question comes up about anti-semitism. Will you publicly confront influential people like Tucker Carlson in your own coalition who continue to spread anti-semitic rhetoric that has put a target on my children's back? So any first of all, you should be clear, you're five and three year old are okay. Okay is a relative term, are they here with us? Absolutely. Thank you. Thank you. My daughter, still it allowed bang drop to the floor in coverage protection and cry, allow noises and tries to understand what she's experienced, not okay from that perspective. And I'm very, very sorry about that and I will say I've met with the leadership of the temple there and I've met with some of the security guards who frankly prevented what would have been one of the worst terrorist attacks in the history of the United States of America, but for their bravery and God bless them. Thank God for him and thank God for you and your family that you're okay. Here's what I'll say, I condemn anti-semitism. I condemn Jew hatred, I condemn anybody who would judge another human being based on who their mother or father were, what their ethnicity was, what their religion is. And I think that leadership, that fundamental leadership principle has to start there that we can condemn this unequivocally. Okay. So good answer. I'm glad. You know, I too am concerned about the rise in anti-semitism, mostly it's on the left but it crops up on the right too. It bothers me greatly. So a great answer, fair question, good answer from the vice president, but of course people are still attacking the vice president because they say, well, you won't condemn Tucker Carlson. You won't go after this cable news host or your friends with who's now got this podcast and you won't go after him by name. And it's become a big question among Republican strategists, the conservative chattering class and say, should the vice president go after Tucker Carlson and make a big spectacle out of that and make a big spectacle out of denouncing him? My read on it is, it wouldn't do much good for anyone. What good would come out of that? Do you think that Vance's critics who, in my mind, preposterously are accusing him of anti-semitism or whatever? Do you think that's going to satisfy them? I don't think that would satisfy them. I'd say, well, it took him too long to do it. And he didn't use the words that I wanted him to use, so I don't think that would work. I think a lot of the attacks on JD Vance are probably just opportunistic because he's the leading contender for 2028 and so people are going to hit him any which way, getting back to what we're talking about at the top of the show, politics is a blood sport. So I don't think that would do a ton of good. I don't think any serious person thinks that JD Vance is an anti-semit. I don't think he's got a lot of very prominent Jews around him who have worked for him or he's got a relatively good relationship with the state of Israel and he's just no evidence of it. It's just totally ridiculous. So I don't think any serious person thinks that JD Vance is an anti-semit. A denunciation, therefore, would neither settle the issue among the people who are persuadable, nor would it appease the people who hate JD Vance and are just going to attack him because they don't like the cut of his ship. So I don't really see if I'm wrong, if I'm open to being persuaded, but can someone make the case to me that JD Vance going out, not just saying I hate Jew hatred, I'm deeply concerned about that. I have a very strong record proving I'm not an anti-semit of any sort, but he needs to go after Tucker Carlson, if someone can make the case to me that that would do any good, I'm open to hearing. I just haven't heard it. So I think the way he handled this question was really good. He doesn't mince any words about the actual substantive issue that people are concerned about, but he doesn't get into this game of guilt by association and the struggle sessions and the denunciations of everybody. I thought it was a good answer. And he was asked a question by an immigrant on the administration's anti-immigrant rhetoric. My goal here is not to dehumanize any immigrant, in fact, I love a number of immigrants. My goal here is to make it so that we can have a country with some baseline of social cohesion and sense of community. Because what happens when too many people come to the United States, even if they're very good people, Sister Nancy, when too many people come to the United States too quickly, it changes the country in very profound ways. I have neighbors, I have friends of mine who literally don't know a single person in their neighborhood who speaks the language they do. Now that's not a criticism of anybody, but I don't think it's unreasonable for an American citizen to want to share their community with people they have something in common with. And I think our immigration system has to build that. It has to obviously be charitable to people. It has to welcome people who are going to contribute to the country, but it also has to not do it so quickly that we fundamentally transform the country in a bad way. Love this answer. I love this answer for two reasons. One, he's not, he's actually not going after the immigrants themselves. This is weirdly the most charitable read, even though JD Vance would be considered much more of an immigration restrictionist than many Republicans. He's actually much less hostile to the immigrants. He's just like, it's not really about the immigrants themselves. It's just if you flood the country with a ton of foreign people, even if they come legally, it's going to change the demographics, you're not going to hear the same language in your town anymore. You're not going to have the same customs, you're not going to have social cohesion, it's going to create a lot of social problems, and it's going to erode trust in the government. And so that's one reason that when you have the highest percentage foreign borne ever in American history, you got to work to restrict that a little bit. Not because we hate brown people, not because we think that some peoples are just irredeemably backward or something, it's just because we're in nation, and nations have to cohere. And the American people have a right to determine who comes in and out. So that's the first reason. It's actually much more charitable in how he's talking about immigration, even as he's being more restrictive about it, too. He's not just talking about illegal immigration, which that was the GOP line. The furthest you could go on immigration in the GOP until very recently was we need to stop illegal immigration, but we want more legal immigration. That was the furthest right view you could have. Illegal immigration is bad, but legal immigration is good. We all agree. We want more immigrants. But that's not true. I don't want more immigrants to come here, not because I hate brown people or any other kind of people, but because we are a nation and nations are people and you can't just flood the country with foreign people and expect your country to remain stable and flourishing. It just can't happen. We've known this since, I don't know, Aristotle, Plato, Cicero, like a pretty long time. So on the one hand, Vance is being very charitable. I think that's a very reasonable argument that plenty of centrist voters could hear and be persuaded by, but also it's forward thinking. He's moving the window on immigration in a way that I think is reflective of what a lot a lot of people are feeling with the changing political circumstances. I think it's forward-looking. It has a very, very good answer. Now who knows if that'll matter because if the GOP tanks in its popularity with the American people, if we lose the common sense, we've got our friends over here at Calche, already got markets open on the 2028 presidential race, exact outcome and right now, the most likely, according to Calche, now it's down at 10%, you know, it's obviously silly seas in this far out, but they say the most likely thing is AOC defeats JD Vance. So given where the GOP is right now, what count there are two predictions here. One is AOC is the Democrat nominee, JD is the Republican nominee, and that's one prediction. And then the second prediction is that the Democrats are going to be the Republican. So we got to make sure that doesn't happen. That race starts this week and next week you have to make sure that you get out there, you take politics seriously. It's not just about emotion, it's not just about dissolution, man, it's not just about your own personal feelings of elation or disappointment, but it's really about the common good. That's what politics is for. That's why we have the vote. That is, that was the argument for expanding the franchise throughout the course of American history. It was much more restricted at the early parts of American history. There's this, there's this idea that's cropped up in the last 20, 30 years that voting is a good per se that it's just good to vote. Do you remember this even? It was like voter die back as 25 years ago, saying P Diddy, the spokesman of the left wing get out the vote effort. It's totally fitting. We should have known everything from that. P Diddy comes, he says, "Doesn't matter who you vote for, you just have to go vote." And that's of course ridiculous. Voting in itself is totally meaningless, it can be good, it can be bad, but it doesn't, it doesn't have any intrinsic quality of goodness or badness. The vote is instrumental toward good government. That's what it's for. Good government, which is itself instrumental for the care of the common good. That's what you have to think about. Is your country going to be better if you vote for the Republican or the Democrat, in every little congressional race, every governor race, every center race? Is it going to be better for the country as such if the Republican wins or the Democrat wins? Not. I don't like this candidate because he said something I don't like. I didn't like this campaign ad, not, I don't like the guy's name, not, I don't like what, I don't like the gas prices went up a little bit. Is the country going to be better with the party that I still think is relatively normal or the party that wants to chop off your kids' genitals and murder all of the babies and flood the country with foreigners and imprison all of us? That's the question for you. I think you know my answer. The rest of the show continues now. You do not want to miss it. We use Cognol's Canada VLAS to check out for two months for your own all-annual plans. I'm going to have to go to the office. Let me out! You will remember your duty. This isn't heroin! You're useless. You sit there and shake because you're dependent on drinking sick is all over you. Have you ever seen a child start a death professor? No. I am.
