Good morning and welcome to Bongino Report Early Edition. Matt Gaetz withdraws his Attorney General nomination, saying himself,

or really deep state shill mike rogers is still being considered for fbi director the truth behind the nancy mace transgender bathroom controversy the biden admin is quietly rushing to thwart trump's immigration mandate daniel penny's defense medical expert says the chokehold didn't kill jordan neely josie smollett gets off the hook irish girls are told not to wear cultured

culturally appropriating braids and DreamWorks casts a black girl to play a blonde Viking. All this on Bongino Report, early edition. So Matt Gaetz has withdrawn his name

to become trump's attorney general he and jd vance met with senators whose votes gates needed to secure the nomination and gates was reportedly missing the support of four i'm going to tell you who they are john curtis of utah susan collins of maine lisa murkowski of alaska and mitch mcconnell of kentucky

Chat, are there any people from Kentucky, Alaska, Maine, or Utah here? Are these your senators? Let me know if these are your senators. You guys gotta hold them accountable. By the way, Susan Collins and Lisa Murkowski did vote to confirm Merrick Garland, whose DOJ has gone after innocent January Sixers, traditional Catholics, pro-lifers, and parents at school board meetings, as well as Donald Trump himself. So Merrick Garland, he was cool.

but god forbid we get matt gates in there then that's where the republican senators draw the line and trump has a mandate the voters voted for trump to put his agenda in place and these four republican senators stood in the way and that was their decision

As we've covered many times on this show, the allegations against Gates have never been substantiated. And even the Biden DOJ declined to pursue any charges against him. The DOJ that hates Matt Gates, again, declined to pursue charges. They investigated and they smeared him, but they dropped the case, namely because the witnesses were so unreliable. The DOJ knew that no jury would convict Matt Gates.

And Matt Gaetz is not a conventional Republican. He is very Trumpian. He is probably the most like Trump of virtually all these appointees. Even the persecution that he's experienced at the hands of the DOJ is very Trump-like.

He self-describes as a libertarian populist. He blends traditionally right-wing and left-wing views. For instance, he's pro-life and he's also very anti-trust. And at the heart of Matt Gaetz's ideology is an opposition to the corruption that is so pervasive in the permanent state. He is fiercely against our overblown agencies and their illegal surveillance specifically on unsuspecting American citizens.

Gates is what the American people called for when they voted for Trump to root out corruption and completely overhaul the weaponized DOJ. He is on brand with Trump's agenda. And now, thanks to four senators, he's gone. And I think those four senators do deserve to be electorally held accountable by the voters that they betrayed.

And by the way, right after Matt Gaetz was derailed by those four senators, McConnell, Susan Collins, Curtis, and Murkowski, Elise Stefanik, the new U.N. ambassador, posted this on Twitter.

It's a photo of her with Susan Collins, smiling, shaking hands with the caption. Thank you to my friend Susan Collins for hosting me in the Senate today. We had a productive conversation on supporting Israel and President Trump's effective America first peace through strength, national security. I don't know about you guys, but that kind of rubbed me the wrong way.

It seems a little bit inappropriate to fawn over the senator who just that same day undercut Trump's agenda by derailing one of his nominees. Why are we fawning over Susan Collins right now? We shouldn't be applauding her for anything. I don't know. Drop a comment, you guys. Let me know what you think. I was a little bit disturbed by that. I just wanted to share it. Now, there are a lot of theorizing about what's happening between Matt Gaetz, the Trump admin, the members of Congress, the deep state.

Is there 4D chess going on? Was this always part of the plan from Donald Trump? I think Dave Rubin was posting about that yesterday. And I'm going to tell you, and Michael was asking me this as well. It was like, maybe there's something else going on behind the scenes we don't know about. And that's always possible. But I do think that in life, the easiest explanation is usually the explanation. In Congress, it's not like, it's not in politics in general,

It's not like corporate America. It's not about who has the most money. It's really about relationships. Everything is about relationships. And as much as I like Matt Gaetz, the truth is that Matt Gaetz

is a controversial figure and he has slammed many senators throughout his career including the ones that said that they would decline to vote for him so if you have senators with a personal vendetta against this man who have they have personal gripes against him it's going to be really difficult to overcome that especially if they're banding together and saying we will not confirm matt gates

It's always personal with politics and people that don't play nice, people that are, you know, people that I generally like, but who are controversial figures can also find themselves with a lot of problems when it comes to interpersonal relationships on the Hill.

That's just how things go. So we do have a replacement for Matt Gaetz, Pam Bondi, who served as Florida's attorney general and was one of Trump's defense lawyers during his first impeachment trial. Pam Bondi, she's a loyalist. She's on the right. The left seems to think that she'll be very effective because they explicitly said that they fear her. Here was MSNBC last night on Pam Bondi.

Pam Bondi is exactly what I was saying in the last segment that we should all fear because she's competent. We may not agree with her ideologically, but she actually knows how to do this job. So if anyone on the Democratic side or anyone who cared about liberty or justice was thinking, well, maybe Matt Gaetz will screw this up and that'll give us some time. No, Pam Bondi knows what she's doing. She knows what she's doing about

immigration. Remember, Florida is one of those states that's been very aggressive about migrants and deportation and moving people to different states and everything else like that. Florida has enacted all sorts of rules and laws to to curtail students and what they can do on campuses and finding legal justifications for manipulating education money. She is a dangerous and effective pick. And that's frankly worse than what we would have got with Matt Gates, even with the deplorable moral background that he has.

So that was actually a very flattering endorsement of Pam Bondi from the people that hate her. He called her dangerous and effective. Really, it's like a glowing endorsement of Pam Bondi, which is pretty awesome. But I'm going to be honest with you guys, and I have zero reason to think that Pam Bondi won't do a good job. I'm still learning about her, but I haven't heard anything that makes me concerned, makes me want to warn you guys.

But I wouldn't be telling the truth if I didn't say that I'm disappointed with what happened. The DOJ has declared war against us. It's declared war against half the country. It's not just Trump. It is all of the people that support him.

former deputy deputy deputy fbi director andrew mccabe lectured at my university when i was a third year and told me and all the other students explicitly that regular mainstream conservatives are similar in threat level to islamic terrorists that's what he said we have a huge problem when it comes to our doj the weaponization is so intense

that it's going to take someone with serious conviction to root out the rot. And when you have a personal vendetta against a system that has wronged you, like Matt Gaetz does, your willpower is just stronger. There's something unstoppable about a man with a personal thirst for blood that we need to fight the vipers in the DOJ.

So that is why I just, I'm disappointed. I think Matt Gaetz would have been effective because of how personal it is for him. I have no reason not to like Pam Bondi or be optimistic about her. I'll just say that it is disappointing. All right, we're going to take a quick break. And when I have, and when I, we come back, we're going to discuss some really disturbing news also related to this incoming DOJ. Don't go anywhere.

Shout out to our sponsors. They keep this show free. They work with us even though all of advertising and the media and pretty much everything is set up to make us fail. So always grateful to our sponsors. Now, per a CNN report last night, President Trump is still considering nominating Mike Rogers to be FBI director and I guess Kash Patel to be deputy director.

Director, of course, Kash Patel is based. He has promised to permanently close the FBI in D.C. to depoliticize and decentralize it. He is exactly what we need in the FBI. On the flip side, Mike Rogers is a former FBI agent who has joked about killing Edward Snowden, loves warrantless surveillance on American citizens, and was a supporter of the Russia collusion hoax.

Here's Mike Rogers on Russia. They passed the Patriot Bill that allows and takes the handcuffs off our intelligence services. Policymakers back here use words like illegal wiretap. The domestic surveillance program of the NSA, it could be abused.

Okay, sorry, that was a different clip. That's okay, though. If you're listening, he's speaking with his hands up in quotes, mocking anyone who is concerned about things like illegal wiretapping, warrantless surveillance. Those are the moral standards of this guy. Do we have the one about Russia, Mikey?

I don't believe today as I'm sitting here that Donald Trump will be the Republican nominee in 2024. Don't believe it. I don't think it's helpful for the President of the United States to attack the media. It's petty and it's certainly below the stature of the office of the President of the United States. It's beneath the office in and of itself. Actions and activities unbecoming of the office of the President of the United States.

Now, and do we have a third one, Mikey, or do we just have two? Okay, we just have two. Well, he's also talked a lot about Russia, Russia, Russia, Russia collusion. He is somebody who's been hypercritical of President Trump and also somebody who is fully in bed with the deep state. He was part of it. He is part of it. He's a defender of the very agencies that are actively annihilating our constitutional rights.

And Rogers was also reportedly the co-founder of a deep state never Trump group known as the Alliance for Securing Democracy. And this group became a central player in efforts to tie President Donald Trump and his supporters to Russian interference in the 2016 election. This was a group funded by intelligence linked entities.

The organization amplified claims that Trump's presidency was compromised, and it also delegitimized Trump supporters by flagging pro-Trump social media accounts as part of a Russian influence operation. Now, the Alliance for Securing Democracy's methodology and conclusions related to Russia interference were later exposed as deeply, deeply flawed and misleading.

But the corporate media outlets that used all the information from the Alliance for Securing Democracy did not issue any corrections. It all just was able to stand in public perception. And yet somehow this guy who has been actively working to destroy Trump and is an enemy of the people, as far as I'm concerned, is being seriously considered to head the FBI. Why?

And pretty much what we're dealing with right now as we look at Kash Patel deputy and Mike Rogers as director is Satan's going to be FBI director. St. Michael the Archangel is going to be deputy director. And Satan has the final say on everything. So how effective do you think St. Michael's going to be? Not very effective, right? The whole thing is just whack.

And all I can say is make your voices heard on social media. Pray. I'm not positive why Trump is even considering this guy. I don't know what concessions he's having to make. I don't know the politics at play behind the scenes here. We don't know. It's all very opaque. But we have to pray. We have to make our voices heard. Because if this guy is leading the FBI, even with Kash Patel as deputy, it's going to be a disaster.

all right now we've been covering the nancy mace sarah mcbride controversy on this show all week sarah mcbride is a transgender identifying man who is entering congress in this upcoming uh new new cycle and nancy mace has in response introduced legislation to prohibit men from entering the women's bathrooms in the capitol and then of course before there was even a vote on this legislation

House Speaker Mike Johnson changed the House rules so that people are required to use the bathroom aligned with their biological sex. So, didn't go to a vote. And now Nancy Mace, because she sort of made herself the face of this pro-woman movement against this transgender man who's invading female spaces, she is receiving death threats. She's receiving a lot of criticism from the corporate media. Here she is getting interrupted and harassed by a crazy non-binary activist during an event at Georgetown University.

It is the day after Trans Day of Visibility. We have had dozens of trans people die this year because of the hate and lies that you are spreading. And we want an internet free speech for everyone or just the privileged few? Are you going to stand up for the lives of trans people, black and brown people? Are we fighting for justice or are we fighting for big tech?

Obviously, that guy is just crazy. And the threats and just the overall reception that Nancy Mace has gotten is completely deranged. But I've been doing some thinking here about everything that's taken place this week with Nancy Mace, with Sarah McBride, with the response from AOC and the media and all the activists coming after her. And I have a hot take for you guys. And I want you to just hear me out.

Feminists like Nancy Mace cannot defend femininity from radical trans activists because feminists themselves erased femininity decades ago.

And yes, Nancy Mace I would consider to be a feminist or at least a very progressive individual. Nancy Mace is very strident in her support of IVF. She said that she supports explicitly LGBT rights and she has actively encouraged Republicans to be less pro-life and

explicitly does not support any kind of federal abortion ban. I don't care how you guys feel about that. The point is that Nancy Mace has been a voice trying to move Republicans away from the pro-life issue. She says it's a losing issue, and she wants us to be a lot more flexible with the life of unborn children.

And she also, interestingly, has bragged about having premarital sex at a prayer breakfast. And everybody has different morals. Everybody has different, you know, opinions about when it's appropriate, when it's not appropriate. But the prayer breakfast is probably not the...

best place to tell the world where you stand on that issue. Here she is. Another year, another standing room only event. And when I woke up this morning at seven, I was getting picked up at 745. Patrick, my fiance, tried to pull me by my waist over this morning in bed. And I was like, no, baby, we don't got time for that this morning. I got to get to the prayer breakfast and I got to be on time and a little TMI. But I

I know he can wait. He's got we got I'll see him later tonight. But I was here early. OK, like I said, she's speaking at the prayer breakfast. That's her at the prayer breakfast.

speaking to a bunch of priests and pastors and other Christians in Washington. I don't know. The whole thing was just kind of crazy. And listen, again, like I said, people have different moral positions. That's not my moral position. That's hers. But maybe the prayer breakfast is not the place to do that. And I say all this because

Because I don't want to slam her. I'm just laying out that Nancy Mace is relatively more socially liberal compared to other GOP members of Congress. And

Most of Nancy Mace's more progressive social views can be attributed to second wave feminism, which is the social movement that first began popularizing this concept of gender as a social construct. It was the feminists of the 1960s and 70s who demonized women's reproductive gifts,

labeled them a curse and instead embracing hormone disrupting birth control and abortion, the feminist movement killed millions of unborn children while also rejecting femininity and diminishing motherhood. There are a lot of social progressives like JK Rowling, very famously, who failed to see the connection between transgenderism and the threat that it poses to women and feminism itself.

old school famous feminist Jermaine Greer has been kicked off college campuses for saying that men who undergo surgery cannot just become women. You can't just

have a surgery or take hormones and suddenly be a woman. That's not how this works. And she's been very defensive of women's rights in the face of this trans movement. But before any of that, as a young activist in the 1960s, Germaine Greer co-founded a pornography magazine called Suck, the first European sex paper. And an interview with Greer published in the magazine was titled, I Am A Whore.

And in a separate issue, the magazine published a naked photo of Greer lying with her legs over her shoulders and her face between her thighs. I mean, the whole thing is sort of performative. And it was part of the sexual liberation movement to make women sexually liberated from the gender constraints that they perceive to have. Make women really more like men. I want you to hear what Greer says about femininity in this 2018 interview.

I wrote a book a long time ago about how you get made into a woman. In those days, we called it conditioning.

And you could see it happens from birth. Little baby girls are left to cry for longer than baby boys. They are fed for shorter periods than baby boys. We want them to be smaller than baby boys and so on and so on and so on. And it goes right through our entire lifespan where we're learning femininity.

and it's a masquerade, it's not who we really are. There is nothing feminine about being pregnant. It's almost the antithesis of that. There's nothing feminine about giving birth. It's a bloody struggle and you've got to be strong and brave. There's nothing feminine about breastfeeding. If there's nothing feminine about giving birth, why not just call it a birthing person? If there's nothing feminine about breastfeeding, why not call it chest feeding?

The feminists who peddled radical gender ideology created transgenderism. Girlbossing led to transgenderism. And again, to Greer and J.K. Rowling and Nancy Mace's credit, they have stood up against transgenderism because it clearly hurts actual women. But none of them have renounced the progressive feminist ideology which helped create the transgender movement in the first place.

And I don't want to hate on Nancy Mace because she's pretty much a lone wolf in Congress right now standing up for real women. And I applaud her for that. But I also think that we have to be clear-eyed about the root of the problem if we're actually serious about tackling it. All right, switching gears here. Now, with the last election, the American people gave President Trump a mandate to stop illegal immigration and to end global wars, or at least America's involvement in them.

Yet yesterday we learned the Biden admin is quietly rushing to implement new policies that will loosen restrictions on immigrants who entered the US illegally. The outgoing admin intends to launch an ICE portal app starting in early December in New York City that will allow migrants to bypass in-person check-ins to their local ICE office. The app will make it easier for migrants to flee authorities in part because the software has proven to be glitchy and unreliable.

And even when it's working correctly, the new app doesn't check for past arrests or outstanding warrants. Something that the current system tied to in-person appointments does do. Up to 100,000 migrants in New York will be enrolled in the first wave of this program. And it's just one of several initiatives being pushed through before Inauguration Day.

and per the post rolling back these policies might not be as simple as trump waving his pen because changes could be subject to both procedural hurdles and legal challenges so biden is setting up systemic barriers to trump's mass deportation plan and we're not just talking about deporting regular immigrants it's concealing the criminals from the incoming admin and new york has a large number of trendy iraqwa gang members

who are now just going to be able to avert detection meanwhile biden is also has also allowed ukraine to launch long-range u.s missiles into the heart of russia and russia has essentially declared war on the entire west including the united states the united states in response and here's what really gets me about the whole thing we're supposedly doing this for democracy right we want to want to help the ukrainian people but the ukrainian people don't think so for the latest gallup poll

More than half of Ukrainians want to see a swift, brokered resolution to the conflict, and they even support making territorial concessions to reach peace. So why in the world is America fueling this war? In order for a war to be just, it needs the people fighting it to be willing participants. If more than half of Ukrainians are done fighting, the fighting has to end.

The consent of the people is essential in war. If you don't have that, then it is immoral to continue.

Now, speaking of New York again, Daniel Penny is, of course, on trial. Penny is the man who defended subway riders from a violent homeless drug addict in 2023. And according to the defense's medical expert, the chokehold of Jordan Neely isn't what killed the homeless man. Apparently, he died from the combined effects of sickle cell crisis, schizophrenia, the struggle and restraint, and synthetic marijuana.

And by the way, Neely also died later in the hospital, not on the train with Daniel Penny, like we were all led to believe. And this is what happens when men are bullied into not acting like men in America. We have a much less safe place. Men like Daniel Penny are made examples out of. They're punished for doing the right thing.

Our society no longer values bravery or selflessness or any kind of masculine virtue. And the consequence is that we're a whole lot less safe. Blue city values are backward. And around the same time as the Daniel Penny Jordan Neely incident, Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg's assistant, his assistant was robbed and attacked by an illegal immigrant with five arrests since 2023. Take a listen.

Smiling, Brandon Samosa being led out of the Midtown South Precinct on West 35th Street this morning. Police say at about 2:00 AM Sunday, he robbed a 38-year-old woman in the hallway of her Hell's Kitchen apartment building. He allegedly grabbed her purse, cell phone, and bank cards, and also performed

a lewd act. The victim is a Manhattan assistant D. A. She was not injured. Police traced her stolen cell phone to a hotel on West 45th Street, which led them to believe the suspect is a migrant and they were able to track him down. Somoza was arrested just last night. Police say he was using drugs on the street and had stolen items with him. Police believe he is part of trend to Aragawa. That's the Venezuelan gang that has preyed on people in Times Square and Central Park.

-Samosa is facing a number of counts, including sexually motivated robbery and burglary. He also has six prior arrests, all from this year, on similar crimes. And he's believed to have arrived in the U.S. in February of 2023. -So that guy, five arrests, he's a gang member, he's here illegally, he shouldn't even be here, and he has the opportunity to be out on the streets robbing and sexually harassing an assistant D.A.

And by the way, he was also on public assistance. But God forbid Daniel Penny protects subway riders from a deranged schizophrenic homeless man. And then we have Jesse Smollett, the race hookser who pretended to be physically and verbally assaulted by two men in MAGA hats who happened to be black and paid for by Jesse Smollett himself.

Yesterday, the Illinois Supreme Court dismissed Jussie's conviction for staging a hate crime. In a 5-0 ruling, the court decided that a prior agreement between Smollett and Cook County State Attorney Kim Fox, which dropped criminal charges in exchange for a fine in community service, should have been upheld. So he got completely off the hook. No punishment for Jussie Smollett except for a fine in some community service. Trendy Arago illegals can terrorize people. And Jussie Smollett can...

fake a hate crime and smear Trump supporters on a national level. But if you dare stand up for women and children being threatened by a violent schizo, then that's where blue cities draw the line. Step too far for them. We are literally living in the upside down. I don't even know what's going on in the world anymore. How does any of this make sense? And why in the hell do taxpaying law-abiding citizens put up with this in blue cities? Why do they keep voting for these awful people? I just, I will never understand it.

And on the topic of blue cities, Illinois State Representative LaShawn Ford is calling, I guess, again, I guess he's been calling for this multiple times, for an investigation into red light cameras for racism.

You know the cameras that they have when you're waiting at a red light? So if you go, when it's not green, the cameras will take a picture of your license, then they'll bill you a ticket. Those cameras. According to Ford, the cameras are racist because data shows that more than 2.5 times as many red light camera tickets were issued on Chicago's South Side

over a year-long period than at intersections where the cameras were installed on the city's north side. And the south side of Chicago was, of course, much more heavily populated by black residents. I don't know about you guys, but this seems to be one of the most objective, non-racist ways to get a ticket. It's a machine. I don't like traffic cameras, first of all. I think that they're kind of creepy. They give me George Orwell 1984 vibes. I don't like being watched all the time. But...

If you break the traffic laws, the machine photographs your license. It's pretty straightforward. It doesn't mean racism. It means that Southsiders are breaking traffic laws more often. Sorry, not sorry. Ben Shapiro, facts don't care about your feelings. Michael says, as somebody who's driven on the South Side a lot, it makes sense. Again, are we living in the upside down?

Why are they even worried about racist machines when the South Side is plagued by gang violence and apparently terrible drivers? Where are the priorities, people? Speaking of racism, I want you to watch this PSA for school children on white girls not being allowed to wear their hair in braids. This video is from Ireland. Take a listen.

OMG you got your bracelet, I love them! Yeah, thanks. I want to get them for longitude, I think they're so exotic. Mmm, you shouldn't. My culture isn't an accessory. What do you mean? I've never tried them before, I want to get them. Yeah, I know, but this is for my culture, not for your fashion. Oh, I'm sorry. I should have known, but I had to learn. I should have known, but I have to learn. I should have known, but I have to learn.

G. Van Fleet commented on this post when it was shared, said it's like cultural Marxism that you saw in China during the revolution. It's so creepy and weird. And if you're listening, by the way, the white girl is the one who said she wanted to wear the braids, and the black girl said, no, it's part of my culture, you can't. But Celtic women traditionally wore elaborate braids.

Viking men and women traditionally wore braids. Braids are not exclusive to black women. A hairstyle shared by cultures across the globe cannot be appropriated. It's impossible. There's Michael with the Minnesota Vikings. They have braids. Minnesota Vikings, of course, are not Celtic or Irish in any way. But the point is that braids are part of European culture just as much as they are a part of African culture.

And the black girl is not racially Irish. I do feel like this is an important point to bring up. She can be an Irish citizen, but that's not her ancestry. So she comes to Ireland as a first or a second or third generation migrant, and she tells her schoolmates, descended from Celts, who have lived on that island for centuries, actually, braids aren't your culture anymore. Do you see how kind of crazy and brazen that is?

And by the way, if braids are for black girls only, why are black girls allowed to wear elaborate blonde straight wigs to mimic the hairstyle and hair types of white women? If you're listening, you'll see these black—and I don't have a problem with it. You guys can do that, but you can't have a double standard. And if that—if wearing braids is appropriation, then this is a thousand percent appropriation because it's not even their real hair.

So the whole thing is, again, just a very whack double standard. And on this topic, there is a new live action remake of the cartoon, How to Train Your Dragon, that is coming out.

And I'm sick of these remakes. I hate them. I think they're so tiring. I'd like some real creativity for once in Hollywood, but I digress. So How to Train Your Dragon was a cartoon that came out when I was 10 years old. I love the movie. It was great. It's a coming of age story that takes place in a Viking village where dragons exist and they roam free.

And in this cartoon, if you can imagine this as it being a Viking village in the 10th century, all the characters are white and many of them have blonde hair. Because again, it's a Viking village in the 10th century. And it's made up of Scandinavian people, white people. The main love interest in the cartoon is a blonde girl named Astrid. Let's throw up that picture, Mikey, so you can see what Astrid looks like. Very white, very blonde.

So naturally, in the remake produced by Universal in collaboration with Dreamworks, they decided to make Astrid. And the defense for people has been that, well, this young actress, she's mixed-race, her skin is somewhat pale. My skin is pale. Do I look Scandinavian to you guys? Can somebody make a comment here? Does Avina Duffy chat look Scandinavian? No, I do not. I am a mixed girl.

And it would be weird for me to play a Viking in the 10th century. Yeah, I have pale skin, but my hair is very dark. My eyes are dark. I have some non-Scandinavian features, just like this young... And this is a very beautiful actress. She's beautiful, but she's not Scandinavian. And race swapping is frustrating because the moment a traditionally black character is portrayed by a white actor, there's an immediate outcry.

Yet Hollywood can take a historically Greek figure like Cleopatra and depict her as black, engaging in blatant and frankly offensive historical revisionism. And while some instances of this, such as a Latina Snow White or a Black Ariel, may seem less offensive compared to Cleopatra because she's actually a real person, a real historical figure, there remains a troubling trend of erasure and mistreatment of white ethnic groups.

We see a double standard where white characters can be replaced without issue, but the same isn't true for black and brown characters. And this imbalance is discriminatory and it's reflective of broader discrimination that we see in society at large. And at its core, this is leftism. The left claims inclusivity, yet in reality, it rests on exclusion and division.

Under this ideology, everyone is either an oppressor or they're oppressed. But ironically, the groups labeled as oppressors are the ones who are fair game for constant criticism and marginalization in society. Today, the most socially acceptable group to belittle and demean is white men. Men like Daniel Penny, with the system literally rigged against them.

Likewise, the real oppression is not faced by trans individuals, but by women who are raped and harassed in shelters and prisons that they are forced to coexist in with men who claim to be women. Similarly, Christianity is the only religion that can be mocked without consequence. You try mocking Islam or even Judaism or Hinduism or Buddhism, you can't, but you can say anything you want about Christianity.

Immutable traits should not be deemed inherently racist or evil. It's just wrong. It's backward. It's so inherently evil. Just because someone is black doesn't mean they should be allowed to stage a hate crime without facing consequences like Jussie Smollett. And newsflash, traffic cameras aren't racist. And really, ultimately, this division is a strategy.

This racial division is a strategy to weaken the populace and make it easier for an authoritarian government to control people physically and mentally. That's why if we lose our identity as Americans and as Christians, we lose the ability to stand against manipulation and oppression.

And that's all I have for you guys today on this Friday. I didn't get to have Michael Knowles here today, which is really disappointing. We're going to reschedule. He'll probably be around next week or maybe after the Thanksgiving break. We'll see. Michael's going to figure it out for us. But I was disappointed that we didn't have him, but we're going to make it work in the future. Again, you guys all know I'm here live on Rumble, 9 a.m. Eastern time, five days a week. If you're listening on Apple or Spotify, make sure to rate and review this podcast. I'll see you all next week.
