One in 18 American high school students doesn't know what gender he is, according to the CDC. A Venezuelan prison gang takes over an American town, and Tim Walz tries to go pheasant hunting. I'm Michael Knowles. This is The Michael Knowles Show. ♪♪

Welcome back to the show. Harrison Butker, the Chad meme himself, has just made a big political endorsement for 2024. There's so much more to say. First, though, text Knowles to 989898. We have a big election coming up. There's a lot at stake. Regardless of who's sitting in the White House or in Congress, the fuse on the economy has already been lit. For the

Four years of a conservative presidency will not be enough to turn the tide on our $35 trillion national debt.

Birch Gold will help you convert an IRA or 401k into an IRA in physical gold. And the best news...

Before we get to what I think is the biggest news story in the world right now, which is about how one in 18 American high school students doesn't know what his gender is. I guess I have to mention there might have been a third assassination attempt on President Trump over the weekend.

This was at Trump's massive Coachella rally that looked bigger than the Coachella Festival. It's been going on for years now. It was a huge rally. There were reports that a half a mile outside the security gate, a man was arrested with a bunch of guns, potentially trying to assassinate President Trump again. The man denies that he says that he's a Trump supporter and he was there to protect himself because there are so many attempts on Trump's life. And so I don't know. There's not a lot of information about this one.

The only reason I even mentioned the story yet with so few details is it is a crazy thing that President Trump almost assassinated again is the kind of headline that now we don't even bat our eyes at. President Trump, presidential candidate, former president, nearly assassinated. We don't even notice it. We say, oh, yeah, well, it's another day that ends. And why? No wonder someone's trying to kill him again.

That to me, that's the big the fact that this is not a major news story is the news story. Democrats have so normalized trying to assassinate Trump that we don't even really pay attention to it. There were prominent leftists the first time that Trump was very nearly killed and the bullet actually did hit him in the ear.

Who said, well, you know, that's the consequence of spreading hate. You know, well, what do you expect when you're a threat to democracy? When you're Hitler 2.0, you know, that's what happens. So the Democrats have justified killing Trump for so many years at this point. And now there have been so many attempts on Trump's life that another one maybe happens. We don't know in Coachella. People say, oh, yeah, OK. All right. What are the sports scores? How are the Yankees doing?

Real indictment of our political order. But I want to get to our most important news story of the day that is being completely neglected and I guess you'd say even suppressed by the establishment media. Over 3% of American high schoolers now identify as transgender. Over 3%. I think it's 3.3. So you have a 1 in 30 chance, if you are an American high schooler today, of identifying as transgender.

Then there's an additional 2.2% of students on top of that who are questioning their gender identity. So it brings the total to 5.5%, which means that if you send your kid to high school in America, there is a greater than 1 in 18 chance that your kid is not going to know what his gender is. And those numbers are not according to some scare poll from some right-wing organization. Those numbers are from the CDC. Now,

What do we know about students who identify as transgender or who are questioning their gender? We know that they try to kill themselves at extraordinarily high numbers. Roughly 70% of trans-identifying or gender-questioning students report feeling persistent sadness or despair, despair, hopelessness, for a period of more than two weeks in the past year.

When you compare that to girls, you know, teenage girls are totally nuts. But even just regular, normal teenage girls, about half of them report persistent sadness. When you get to boys, regular, normal boys who know their boys, it's about a quarter. So it's tough being a teenager. Kids feel sad. Kids despair at times. But if you identify as trans or question your gender, you are much, much more likely.

to feel despair and persistent sadness. On top of that, 10% of trans-identifying students reported receiving medical treatment from a doctor or a nurse for attempting to kill themselves in the past year. So that's not even taking into account all the kids who have tried to kill themselves in the past year. That is specifically the kids who have received medical treatment from a doctor or a nurse for trying to kill themselves. That is compared to 2.6%

of girls who know they're girls. So 4x the rate of girls and 1% of boys, 10x the rate of regular boys who know that they're boys. You need to find alternatives to regular American high schools for your kids. You have to find alternatives, whether it is an orthodox religious school

You know, I'm a big supporter of traditional Catholic education, Christian education broadly, but whatever. Let's say you're Jewish. Let's say you're Muslim. Let's say whatever you are, an orthodox, a serious religious school that doesn't follow the religion of liberalism and leftism, that isn't going to fall into this kind of craziness, is going to be a much better option for your kid. Or homeschooling, obviously.

But it's no longer just, you know, oh boy, I'm going to send my kid to that school. He's going to be filled with liberal, environmentalist, feminist, anti-American propaganda, whatever. Today's Columbus Day. You know the schools are teaching all sorts of nonsense about Christopher Columbus. They're probably calling this federal holiday of Columbus Day Indigenous People's Day. You know, that kind of liberal claptrap, that's real annoying. What the schools are teaching now

The schools are teaching that your boy is not really a boy, that your girl is not really a girl. The schools, unless, I don't know, unless there's something in the water, they're turning the frickin' frogs gay. Maybe there's that too, but it seems like it's a curriculum problem. If one in 30 high school kids is identifying as trans and one in 18 doesn't know what his gender is, that seems to be a much higher rate than any other institution in the country.

It seems to me like the schools are teaching that kind of stuff. They're impelling students to have that identity, and that identity has a very, very high likelihood of killing your kid. This is no longer just, well, we're going to have to fix all that claptrap the teachers put into their heads when they get home or over the summer or something like that. No, this is like life or death right now, which is why there is a political problem.

That has to be addressed. Conservatives have to take control of the schools back again. We have to fire the leftist activists who are trying to lead your kid to suicide. We have to fire them. We have to ban them from being around children ever again, certainly in a classroom setting. We have to change the curricula through the law. We have to do all that. That's at the political level. We can't abandon the political field. But also there's just an urgent need.

An urgent need right now for your kid. If you send your kid to a high school, this is the risk you're exposing them to. It's like having a kid go to Fukushima High School after a nuclear explosion. And you say, well, what are the odds that he really develops a cancer? Pretty high, actually. Too high enough to be tolerable, okay?

Now, my kid, he goes to Three Mile Island High School, but what are we going to do? Move? Nah, you know, he'll probably be okay. No, man, I'm not saying your kid is guaranteed to be suicidal or even to identify as gender questioning or trans or whatever. But one in 18, you're willing to take that chance? One in 18, then 70% of those kids report despair and 10% of them try to kill themselves within the last year? I'm not taking that. I'm not taking that risk.

an urgent need. And for the parents who have trouble doing that, financial trouble or trouble because both parents are out there working and it's hard to homeschool or kids who are in an area where it's not as easy as in other areas, we need a political solution. You can't keep pushing this issue off. The schools are actively pushing this stuff. LAUSD, the Los Angeles School District, has just celebrated 36 years of coming out day.

Coming Out Day is a day when school staff encourage kids to identify as gay and now trans and queer and questioning or whatever the initialism has come out to. LAUSD tweets, National Coming Out Day was started in 1988 on the premise that prejudice thrives in silence. Every year on October 11th, many people come out as LGBTQ. Many more come out as allies on behalf of their students and family members.

Los Angeles public schools might not teach your students to read, probably won't teach your students to read, but they will encourage them to do disordered sex stuff. So, you know, at least taxpayers in California, you're getting your money's worth. Is that what you're paying for? There's a real irony.

is the libs in recent decades have invaded against what they call conversion therapy, which is when someone has disordered affections and desires and they go to a therapist, they say, hey, I want to have normal desires. I'd like to mitigate some of these disordered and harmful desires I have. And the therapist says, okay, well, here's some ways to work on it or whatever. I don't know. The libs have presented this as though kids are being like electric shocked or something, which is not occurring. But the libs have invaded against this. They've said we have to ban this by the law. But what would you call...

National coming out day in the public schools. That is a kind of conversion therapy. There's a conversion therapy telling kids, hey, you should identify as gay or lesbian or queer. It's a good thing to do that. We'll celebrate you if you do that. It's creating incentives to do that.

And disincentives to hold traditional views, the views of Christianity, the views of Judaism, the views of Islam, the views of traditionalism, even a kind of less religious traditionalism. It's going on in the biggest school districts in the country. Not good.

propagandizing and indoctrinating your kids. Because there are plenty of good teachers out there. I've had plenty of good teachers in my life. I think even today, there are still some good teachers. But the system broadly is just terrible. There's a story just came out, just came out of the sun about preschool teachers who are giving little kids, we're talking three, four-year-olds, melatonin patches, drugs on their arms to make them fall asleep. They're calling them sleepy stickers.

Two teachers suspended after giving sleepy stickers to preschool children to keep them quiet in class. This is at Northgate Crossing Elementary School in Texas, in Texas of all places, where a four-year-old snuck this patch, the so-called sleepy sticker, out of the classroom, showed it to her mom, and then the mom looks at it and says, where'd you get this? The kid says, my teacher gives it to me for sleeping. They find out the teachers are giving it to all these kids,

And the drugs that they're giving them, the original Sleep Z patch, has melatonin, L-theanine, GABA, cosmoparine, passion oil, lavender oil, valerian, sensor, aguaganda, and hops. They're not even that cheap. They're $35 for a pack of 28. So the teachers are that desperate to drug the kids and make them fall asleep. They're willing to pay this kind of money. That is Exhibit Z. I don't know. This is evidence number 3,225.

So homeschooling or alternatives to the mainstream schools are really important right now because the teachers are allegedly, I have to say allegedly, allegedly, according to the parents, drugging the kids. Why do I bring all this up? Because there aren't any good public schools. I'm sure there are still good public schools because we don't have a political responsibility to take over the schools. We do have a political responsibility to do that.

But right now, you have urgent needs to protect your kids and to educate your kids. All right? And when I was a kid, not all that long ago, the thing that we heard, the propaganda was that homeschooling is for hicks and weirdos.

That's what we were told. If you send your kid, if you homeschool your kid, your kid is not going to be socialized. He's going to be socially awkward. He's going to be a big weirdo. But if you send your kid to the schools, especially the public schools, then your kid will be normal and socialized. Today, that has totally flipped because to be normalized into this culture, which is extremely abnormal, means your kid has a 1 in 18 chance of not knowing if he's a boy or a girl.

You want your kid to be normalized that way, normalized into the abnormal, normalized into despair and potentially suicide, God forbid. I don't want my kid to be normalized into that. I meet a lot of homeschool kids. You know, I travel around to a lot of family conferences. I meet students. I travel around to different schools. 97% of the time, the homeschool kids I meet, sometimes they're as young as 10 or 11 years old. You know, the younger siblings of whichever kid is coming out to see the speech or something.

Then they're many are older, 17, 18. A lot of them are in college now. 97% of the time, the homeschool kids I meet are better educated, more confident, more articulate, more mature than the kids who went to public school or even the fancy private schools. When you have this question of normalizing something, socializing something, you're

Those terms don't exist in a vacuum. You're always being normalized into some norm. You're always being socialized into some social group. And today, the dominant social groups are extremely disordered. And it's not just a matter of going through a little rebellious phase and getting a nose ring or something. We're talking about people castrating themselves, permanently messing up their biochemistry, or leading themselves into anxiety, depression, and suicide. The stakes are real.

And in one of the less egregious bad outcomes, your four-year-old is getting drugged by his teacher to go to sleep because no one cares about your kids like you do. Allegedly. Speaking of libs endangering your family, unbelievable news story out. There is a Venezuelan prison gang. This sounds like it's out of The Onion or the Babylon Bee. There is a Venezuelan prison gang called Tren de Aragua that has taken over a town that

In Colorado, Aurora, Colorado has been overrun with a prison gang from Latin America. They've apparently overrun several apartment buildings. They've been expanding their reach in the US because Kamala Harris, as the borders are, is letting them all in. So J.D. Vance goes on ABC News. He's talking to Martha Raddatz, who is a liberal propagandist par excellence. And Martha Raddatz does her best, does somersaults,

to defend this policy by pointing out, well, it's only a handful of buildings. The incidents were limited to a handful of apartment complexes and the mayor said our dedicated police officers have acted on those concerns, a handful of problems.

Only, Martha, do you hear yourself? Only a handful of apartment complexes in America were taken over by Venezuelan gangs, and Donald Trump is the problem and not Kamala Harris's open border. Americans are so fed up with what's going on, and they have every right to be. And I really find this exchange, Martha, sort of interesting because you seem to be more focused with nitpicking everything that Donald Trump has said, rather than acknowledging that apartment

Department complexes in the United States of America are being taken over by violent gangs. I worry so much more about that problem than anything else here. We've got to get American communities in a safe space again. And unfortunately, when you let people in by the millions, most of whom are unvetted, most of whom you don't know who they really are, you're going to have problems like this.

I love J.D. J.D. recovers a little bit, but he understandably has this initial reaction, which is of incredulity. I don't even think it was performed incredulity. I think it was sincere incredulity. She says, now, look, fact check.

Your boss, the president, says that Venezuelan prison gangs are overrunning apartment buildings in Aurora, Colorado after they were let in by Kamala Harris. And fact check, it's only a handful of apartment buildings. Okay.

Fact check, the Venezuelan prison gang that Kamala Harris imported into the country has only taken over like half the city, not three quarters of it. So, you know, 17 Pinocchios, it's total fake news. And J.D. Vance is there. Do you hear yourself, woman? Are you out of your mind? The liberals would rather Venezuelan prison gangs take over your apartment building than enforce immigration law.

That's what they would rather. This report, Martha Raddatz isn't even denying that the Venezuelan prison gang is taking over the town because this report doesn't come from some far right wing, you know, dubious website or something. It's a long profile in the Wall Street Journal. A Venezuelan gang is expanding its deadly reach into the United States. Trendy Aragua involvement is suspected in 100 U.S. cases, bringing its violent brand of robbery and drug trafficking north. The reaction from Martha Raddatz is not unusual.

This is common. This is, I think, the typical liberal reaction. Our enemies are always right and justified, even when it's a Venezuelan prison gang, even when it's MS-13. MS-13, which is literally a satanic cult. They worship Satan. They have overt satanic rituals, and they rape, murder, behead as a matter of fun, as a matter of delight for them, okay? And gangs like

like Tren de Aragua and gangs like MS-13, they have to be right. They have to be the victims. They have to receive special care and attention because, according to the liberals, we have to be in the wrong always, always. We are always wrong. We are always deserving of punishment. This isn't our land. Christopher Columbus, you know, he took the land from the Indians or whatever. So that's why we need to let satanic gangs and prison gangs overrun our towns and take over our apartment buildings.

Because, I don't know, because Cortez conquered the human-sacrificing Aztec empire that was ripping young virgins still beating hearts out of their chest and rolling their bodies down Tenochtitlan's temple. Because of that terrible injustice of...

of Spanish explorers and Italian explorers who are with the Spanish bringing Christianity to this pagan savage land. Because of that, we need to give the land over to some of the most pagan savage people who have ever existed. These gangs that Kamala Harris is importing are

and turning a blind eye to while they take over American towns. Has to be the case because they have to be in the right. We have to be in the wrong. There's so much more to say.

Speaking of dangers posed by libs, Tim Walz went pheasant hunting. I should say, Tim Walz, Democrat governor of Minnesota, running mate to Kamala Harris, he tried to go pheasant hunting today.

Here is one of the better clips that the Democrats could dig up. This played on MSNBC.

Minnesota Governor Tim Walz was out pheasant hunting in Sleepy Eye, Minnesota, taking part in the 12th annual Governor's Pheasant Hunting. Something notable about this clip, he's not holding a gun. So he shows up in pristine, clean clothing. Hasn't been wearing this hunting gear very much recently, I guess you'd say. Yes, can I just say, Hope Walz is giving a pheasant hunting glam this morning, okay?

Yeah, it is glam because he's obviously never worn this clothing. He's not even holding a gun. So he goes out there. She's making fetch happen. First question. Why is with with what is it, 28 days left until the election or something with so few days until the election? Why is the vice presidential candidate going on a pheasant hunt? Hunting is very fun. Going out, going to the range is very fun. Going out playing tennis or smoking a cigar is very fun, too. But why?

Usually, if you've got a very short period of time to accomplish a very difficult task, usually you put aside recreational activities. You try to get work done. Why is he going out? Because the Harris campaign knows that it is hemorrhaging support among men. And so they want to shore up their male base. And so they got to make Tim Walls into a he-man. You know, they got to make him into a giga-chad. So they say, what do men like? They like shooting stuff. Okay, let's send out Tim Walls because Tim Walls has said that he's a hunter. He

He said that repeatedly on the campaign trail. So let's send him out there to prove it. And the problem for the Harris campaign, the problem for the Democrats is Tim Walz lies about everything. Tim Walz lies about being in Hong Kong during the Tiananmen Square protests. He doesn't just accidentally get his words wrong. He doesn't actually accidentally misspeak because he's such a knucklehead. He lies. He lies. He goes into great detail about how he's in Hong Kong during the Tiananmen Square protest. He wasn't. He wasn't there even within a month or so of that of that.

protest. Tim Walz lies about his rank in the military. Tim Walz lies about deploying to a combat zone. These are not just accidents of speech. This is active lying. So it turns out, you'd be shocked to hear, Tim Walz seems to have lied about being a hunter too. There's this clip going around. It's so pathetic. It's Tim Walz apparently trying to load a gun. Okay, so he's there. He's fumbling around with it.

This is a Beretta A400. It's a Beretta. He memorized the product that he has. It's a Beretta. He's having a little trouble with it. Notice he's turned away from the camera. This is the proof that he has no idea what he's doing. If he knew what he was doing, he'd be facing the camera to show what a real serious hunter he is. Because he could even be pointing the barrel away. It's not like he'd have to point the barrel at the camera. Not that I'm sure that...

Tim Walz really knows how to point a barrel at all when he's out hunting. But he could do that. He just knows that he doesn't know how to do it. So he's hiding the gun from the camera. He's trying to fumble around with it. He can't figure out how to load the gun. I am not convinced. I know Tim Walz. He served valiantly in Afghanistan. He outfitted the Beretta cannons at the Battle of Lepanto. I know he's the greatest war hero ever if you hear him speak about it. If I didn't know any better,

And I just saw that clip. I would not be convinced that that man had ever held a gun before in his life. That's how pathetic it was. First of all, he shows up to the hunt in that first clip, doesn't have a gun, not sure how he thought he was going to get the pheasants. Maybe he was going to wait for Doug Emhoff to just punch the pheasants in the face. Maybe that was going to be his strategy. But then he finally manages to get his hands on a gun and he doesn't know how to use it.

Everything about this campaign, specifically about the two candidates, Kamala Harris and Tim Walz, is fake. It's all fake. This is the problem for the Harris campaign right now.

is they're not doing well enough in the polls to sit back, and the momentum actually seems to be working against them. So they have to go out there. They have to do the interviews, in the case of Kamala Harris. They have to show what tough men they are, in the case of Tim Walz. But every time they go out and try to do that, it ends up hurting them because these people are not ready for prime time.

Kamala Harris is a deeply unimpressive retail politician. She's pretty good at working angles behind the scenes, but she's not good in primetime in front of the camera. That's why she didn't get a single vote in the one presidential primary she actually ran in while she was running. And Tim Walz is a knucklehead. He really is a knucklehead. That's the nicest way you could put it. He's also a liar who can't even keep his lies straight.

which is why he got completely obliterated by J.D. Vance. Even the Democrats admitted it. These people are not ready for primetime, but they can't just sit back on their porch and let the machine work for them. They're not doing well, well enough to do that. So they got to go out there and they have to expose themselves. And in the case of

of Kamala Harris. She goes out there to prove that she's presidential and she has a command of the issues. She can barely speak. CBS News, 60 Minutes, has to actually edit her clip and pull different responses here from this question, move it over here, to try to make it seem like she's even coherent. So she fails at that. And then Tim Walz goes out to prove what a man he is. He can't even load a shotgun. A shotgun, by the way. We're not even talking about a particularly complicated gun. It's a shotgun.

So then you get another Democrat propagandist, this guy Harry Sisson, who is a younger guy, is a Gen X guy who is paid by Democrats. You can look up the FEC disbursements. He is a paid propagandist for Democrats, and he's obviously all in on the shore up Kamala's vote among men campaign. So he tweets this out.

This is so cool. Coach Tim Walls did the coin toss tonight at the school where he used to teach football for their rivalry game. Coach Walls is truly an amazing person. Did you catch that phrase in there? Listen, I was never the biggest athlete in the world, okay? I did not have the makings of a varsity athlete, never played on the football team. And yet even I know, one does not teach football. Did Coach Walls...

teach football to all the varsity performers at all of the football rehearsals? Did he make sure they all wore fabulous matching costumes during the football rehearsals for the big football performance at the end of the season? No, that's not how you do it. But even the people who are paid by Democrats to be propagandists for them, to put out the most crystal clear, precise message, are not capable of doing it. What did they expect?

What did they expect? This is what the Democrats wanted. The Democrats wanted to castigate masculinity, to smear masculinity as toxic and evil and disgusting and something that no civilized person would ever take part in.

Now, they're upset that they became what they wanted to be. They wanted to become effeminate. They wanted to become pajama boy. They wanted to become soy boy beta males. I don't know, whatever euphemism or term you want to use. They wanted to be that. They very actively wanted to be that.

Barack Obama put pajama boy in that commercial. Some of you are too young to remember this. I think it was before Thanksgiving or Christmas. There was this picture of this millennial guy with his little glasses on wearing a onesie pajamas, holding hot cocoa in an advertisement about how to talk to your family about how great Obamacare was. That wasn't an accident. It wasn't like we caught the Democrats in this embarrassing moment. That's what they put out there. They put the Harry Soussons out there. They put the Tim Walzes out there.

Tim Walls, who is an effeminate guy, who's kind of weird, who's a huge lib. They put they choose that guy. They didn't choose Clint Eastwood to be Kamala's running mate. They could have done that. They could have picked some more manly Democrat. They could have picked a Joe Manchin type who was a football player, kind of a tough guy. He's still a Democrat. He votes with Democrats most of the time, but he's a little more masculine. They didn't want that. And now the Democrats are upset that they became what they wanted to become.

Well, that's what they did. Now they got to deal with the fact that men don't want to vote for this stuff. Now, speaking of football, the Chad meme himself, Harrison Butker, has just endorsed Josh Hawley. Now, this makes sense.

You know, we're talking about Kansas City. Josh Hawley is the Missouri senator. So he comes out there. I'm pretty sure these guys are our friends. So he endorses Hawley. But then he gets the question. OK, Harrison Butker, you're one of the biggest names in football. Really important kicker at a time when kickers are catching a lot of spotlight. What about Trump? And he gives a perfect answer. You're supporting Hawley. Does this mean you're supporting Donald Trump?

If it were not for Trump, Roe vs. Wade would have not been overturned, obviously.

Right. I think you have to vote for whoever's going to be the most pro-life, and we have to be prayerful men that put God first, and I think that's what's going to be best for our country. Yeah, simple as. This is a really easy way to do it. Harrison Butker, first of all, this guy...

has no fear of the libs whatsoever. He gave that great speech at Benedictine College where he said, women enjoy being wives and mothers and men need to be trads and it's good to live a normal life. So he is willing to step out there, even though, look, he's got a huge NFL contract. He's a big player in a game that is controlled by a lot of liberals. But his answer on Trump is a perfect answer, even as a political matter.

Because he doesn't shy away from the fundamental issue here. He's not saying, look, I want to vote for Trump because I think he'll have a better tariffs policy than President Kamala. I want to vote for Trump because he has a better position in the war in Ukraine than Kamala does. No, that stuff is all really open to debate. He says, oh, no, the other side kills babies, and I'm opposed to that. So I'm pro-life, and we need to protect life.

You would think that's a really controversial issue, that Butker should talk about any issue other than that. But actually, that's the safest issue to talk about because there's really no arguing with it. You could say, well, how dare you, Harrison? I oppose your view of circumscribing what women can do with their bodies. But he can just say, look, it's really basic. I believe a baby is a baby from the minute the baby exists. And I think it's wrong to murder babies. So I'm going to vote for the president who's the most pro-life. And Trump...

has a nuanced view of abortion, and maybe Trump's not as pro-life even as the pro-lifers would like. But, you know, I, as a pro-lifer, recognize that Kamala wants to murder babies up until the moment of birth or afterward. Tim Walz certainly wants to murder them afterward. He inscribed that license into law as governor of Minnesota, and so I'm going to vote for Trump, simple as. What are you going to say with that? It's like a person coming out and saying, look, I'm

I'm Catholic. Well, Harrison is Catholic. Or I'm whatever, I'm Jewish, or I'm Muslim, or I'm a Unitarian. I don't know, people could claim this about any core aspect of their identity. And they say, look, I have a deeply held religious belief. And the liberals today, even the radical liberals, will still have a kind of understanding for that because there's still going to be this little hangover of all the liberal claptrap about tolerance and how we need to accept people's belief and multiculturalism. It's a simple answer.

You can poke little holes in the policy on the war in Ukraine or the border or crime or taxes. But on that, it's just a binary issue. You want to murder babies? You want to protect life? Simple. I think it actually gives you cover if you are bold in your convictions. Go to silencershop.com slash Knowles.

You know, Kamala Harris has raised over $1 billion since she entered the race in late July. Even seasoned experts are saying that Kamala Harris' fundraising is unlike anything we've ever seen.

pornographic sacrilegious Doritos video, quote, creepy, weird, and completely unprofessional. Whitmer is a governor, not a juvenile TikTok influencer. She needs to behave like an adult. Except she doesn't. I agree it would be good if she behaved like an adult, but our political class now is basically indistinguishable from juvenile TikTok influencers. So she can get away with it. And she very well might. Speaking of...

football players and sports. The Democrats are not really all that concerned about football or sports. Tim Walz, he undermined the men for Kamala strategy yet again just a few days ago when, I forget if this would have been Friday, I forget exactly when the games were, it was Friday or Thursday. Tim Walz shows up to a bar, some kind of campaign event. Now, this was the day after a major league baseball playoff game, day after ALDS,

and the day after an NFL game. And what does Tim Walls choose to talk about? Tim Walls chooses to focus on the WNBA game that occurred during those two actual sporting events. I knew I was in the right place here. Thank you. Last night, Minnesota Lynx, if you didn't see it, 18 points down, playing in New York, big underdogs.

Oh yeah, you know what I'm talking about, bros? Hey, what's up, men for Kamala?

How you doing, fellow frat stars? You all catch the WNBA game last night? Oh, bros, it was sick. Those girls were out there. They had the most beautiful braids in their hair. And their skirts were really nice. And then they shot the basketball into the... And it went in the hoop. It was such a win for equity and diversity, bros. It was sick. Wow. I can't wait to watch the next...

Minnesota Lynx game. Kamala Harris would do so much better with male voters if this guy would just shut his mouth. She would do so much better with male voters had she not picked this guy to be her running mate. If they just stopped speaking, they would do much better with male voters than they are doing every time they say anything because they are not capable

constitutionally, rhetorically, ideologically. They are not capable of appealing to men. They hate virility. They hate manliness. They think that masculinity is toxic. So even when they're trying their hardest, they're going to come out and start talking about the WNBA.

When people are watching playoffs baseball, postseason baseball, and football. You have a buffet of actual manly sports arrayed before you. And they can't bring themselves to talk about it. They got to talk about the WNBA and they got to fumble around with their Beretta. I would rather, I would much rather, I'd feel much safer going pheasant hunting with Dick Cheney. Standing in front of him, standing right in front of his barrel.

than I would being in the same town as Tim Walls holding a firearm. Doesn't work. The WNBA. So then it raises this question. Since no actual man would ever choose to watch the WNBA over playoffs, baseball, or football, is Tim Walls lying or is he just like the weirdest guy ever? I want to say he's lying,

I guess it could be both, though. He's probably lying because he lies about everything and he's been caught lying about everything. And even the liberal media have called him out for lying about everything. But he's also super weird. So he he might choose to watch. He might sincerely desire to watch the WNBA over a football or

or baseball. Either way, not the kind of person that anyone, any man or any sensible woman would want to vote for.

On top of that, what other men for Kamala do we have? Well, we have Kamala's husband who's just been accused of beating his girlfriend. Kamala's husband, who I believe has admitted to knocking up his nanny while he was married, and then the nanny didn't have the child, which raises questions that I don't want to speculate too much on. And then he gets accused by multiple people in a big expose of punching his girlfriend, smacking his girlfriend around in public because he thought she flirted with a valet. So...

I say allegedly, I say reportedly, but Doug Emhoff was asked about this sort of on Joe Scarborough's show on MSNBC, and he doesn't deny it. He's spreading it about you, saying that tabloid stories about your personal life, saying it should be front and center. He's saying it about your wife.

and making incredibly crude and lewd suggestions about her past life. I'm just curious. I know I seem like a very zen, mindful person, but I think I'd be pissed off. And I'm just wondering, how do you all stay centered? How do you stay disciplined and not really go off and not really push back hard at these things?

We don't have time to be pissed off. We don't have time to focus on it. It's all a distraction. It's designed to try to get us off our game. Does it get you off your game? No. All we are doing, all we talk about is this election. We understand the stakes. We understand the responsibility. What are the stakes? We understand the account. What are the stakes? Our very country, our future. What kind of future are we going to have?

Listen to that question. Before we even get to the answer, listen to that question from Joe Scarborough. This man does not deny beating his girlfriend in public for flirting with a valet. And Joe Scarborough's question is, hey, when Donald Trump impolitely points out that you knocked up your nanny and then punched your girlfriend in public, that must make your blood boil. It's so impolite of him to bring that up, wouldn't you say? I'm a zen mindful person. First of all, big red flags. You ever hear a man

describe himself as Zen or mindful, you run, you run. There should be a U-shaped hole in the wall. Run from that man. That man is a liberal weirdo. Zen, what is he?

He's like a fake Buddhist or something. He's mindful. Mindfulness and meditation is this new lib, new agey phrase for what used to be called prayer. It's like prayer, but to yourself. So instead of praying to God, you just pray to yourself because you make yourself into a God. Anyway, it's a little bit of a digression. He asks him this question. And what's Doug Emhoff's answer? His answer is,

It's a distraction. I try not to, when Trump points out that I beat my girlfriend and knocked up my nanny, you know, I try not to focus on it. When these Republican spokeswomen talk about it, I just want to punch him right in the face. But I don't, I restrain myself because I don't want to get distracted from winning this campaign. I'll take care of those women later. That's right. Oh, knuckles, I'm awful over here. Yeah. Yes, it's so awful what they're doing.

how they're talking about what you would beat your girlfriend. I know. Can you believe them? Those monsters. These are the men for Kamala. Joe Scarborough, who's got a little bit of a shady past himself, by the way. Doug Emhoff doesn't deny beating his girlfriend or knocking up the nanny. And Tim Walls doesn't know how to load a gun. Doesn't.

doesn't know how to show up to a pheasant hunt. Tim Walls watching the WNBA. That's the Kamala for men. I think Donald Trump could win every single mail vote in the country, possibly including Walls, Emhoff, and Scarborough. I'm feeling a little bit better about the campaign.
