A left-wing Australian journalist is charged with leading an international satanic child sex abuse ring.

Joe Biden defends President Trump's policy of blowing up Venezuelan drug boats. And MSNBC accidentally admits that mass migration constitutes an ethnic cleansing of the American population.

Oopsie Daisy. I'm Michael Knowles.
This is the Michael Knowles Show.

Welcome back to the show, a heartwarming video. A guy on a New York City subway stands up to a subway predator.
And there's actually a lot to learn about this.

There's even a lot to learn about the predator. This is good.
All these videos always end up being terribly sad.

Either someone's victimized successfully or someone stands up to the perpetrator and then the guy who stands up goes to jail for 50 years. And in this case, this is a good one.

A successful standing up to a predator on a subway. There's a lot to learn as to why it worked.

Let us begin with the most horrifying, disturbing story. I'm going to avoid some of the really graphic details and just

Got to give a hat tip to Andy No here, the greatest reporter on Antifa and the far left, probably in the universe. Andy No

nabs the details on an Australian journalist who is charged with leading an international satanic child sex abuse material ring.

No hyperbole there at all. I'm actually just reading from the report.
I'm reading from the charges. An Australian journalist promoting LGBT LMNOP stuff

leads a,

not just a child sex abuse ring, a child sex abuse material ring, once known as child pornography, and not even just child pornography, satanic child sex abuse material. What are the deets?

The details are that these suspects, one of whom is an Australian left-wing journalist,

distributed child sex and animal abuse content that specifically featured occult ritual themes.

Not just your regular atheist child sexual abuse material. No, no, no, specifically occult, demonic, satanic themes,

which is what it always comes down to.

The journalist and queer activist is named Landon Germanata Mills. He runs the Underground Media Network news site on Substack.

And what he focuses on specifically is trying to expose racism,

to expose

victims,

the way that our system works to punish people of certain races and sexes, even children, perhaps. That's what he focuses on.
And yet,

in his private life, he's running

the most egregious kind of

crime, the most egregious kind of oppression. I don't know, you know, targeting the most vulnerable kind of victims that there are.

So

he's being accused of running a distribution hub for thousands of pieces of this content, as well as bestiality content.

And on top of it all, not only does he pretend to stand up for the vulnerable and the oppressed, and yet he's one of the cruelest victimizers of the most innocent victims.

Let's even just focus in on how

he's an animal rights activist. So he's an animal rights activist.
There's a picture of him.

you know, with a sign talking about how these poor animals are being denied access to water and bathing. And, you know, he's out there defending the animals.

And then he distributes material that involves the abuse not just of human children, but of animals. How does that make sense?

On the one hand, he marches, he demonstrates for the protection of animals. On the other hand, he gets off to torturing animals and promotes their torture through pornography.

How do you make sense of that?

First of all, it should go without saying at this point, it's always the ones you most expect. This is not a man-bites dog story.

Guy who has bizarre, freaky, deviant sexual obsessions does bizarre, freaky, deviant sexual things. That is not

the stop the presses kind of story. Yeah.

Yes, right.

When there are groups devoted to particularly aberrant, weird sex,

probably it's a good idea for investigators to take a little peek into what they're doing because

probably more often than many people might expect, it is in fact the case that some of their freaky deviant sexual stuff crosses the line into illegality. Yeah, of course.
But

I want to take a more dispassionate view of this.

People don't understand how it is that you could say, we need to defend, even forget about the kids part, which is obviously the most horrifying. Just focus on the animal abuse part.

How is it that you go out and say, we need to defend animals and stop animal abuse and then promote animal abuse on your porn site?

We get our answer from Aristotle, actually. What is it? We're five minutes into the show now.
That might be the earliest Aristotle has ever come up on the show, despite his being mentioned daily.

Aristotle and many other people have observed there are two kinds of virtues.

There are intellectual virtues. and there are moral virtues.
So intellectual virtues involve things that you know, and it can involve practical wisdom, for instance.

But then there are moral virtues, virtues like courage,

generosity,

the virtues of character, of habit that typify the things that you do habitually.

Those two things are not the same. One does not necessarily imply the other.

You see this especially with religion. And this is where I think it's really relevant to a lot of us.

You can know everything about religion. You can, well, you can't know everything about God, but you can know basically everything that a human being can know about religion.

You can have a triple PhD in theology and you can go to hell.

Knowing a lot about religion does not imply that you are actually doing religion properly.

You can have read every book by Hans Uz von Balthasar and Saint Athanasius and everybody in between, And you can also just sin all the time and not have repentance and not avail yourself of the sacraments and not pray.

That's entirely possible. And it is not enough to know.
The Gnostic view of religion and politics and human nature says that all you need to do is get the secret knowledge.

This is what a lot of conspiracy theories appeal to. And this is why conspiracy theories are particularly popular in particularly Gnostic ages.

is because a conspiracy theory tells you you don't have to do anything. You just have to know the secret knowledge.
And once you are initiated into the secret knowledge, then you have a special place.

In a way, you are saved from the corruption of the world. Corruption, which in some ways impels and gives rise to conspiracy theories, and corruption, which is real.
There is real corruption.

But that's not enough. Knowing is not enough.
You actually have to do it.

And

that's what's going on with this guy.

This guy... Allegedly, I have to say allegedly, of course, this guy knows that it's, at least he knows it's wrong to abuse animals.

He might not know it's wrong to abuse kids, but he knows it's wrong to abuse animals.

And he does it anyway

because he has not cultivated those moral virtues. And the two are really supposed to go together.

This is why when we educate kids, we're supposed to educate them not just to know their two plus two equals four, but also to be polite to their elders, but also to be diligent about their work, also to eat in a measured way and not be sloppy and not be messy, not be you, because

if if you want to have a functioning society, if you want to have a functioning person, you have to know things and you have to have the discipline to do the right thing, which is why freedom is not, as we all pretend,

just choosing, but freedom is in fact willing, which is based on knowing. That's where it comes from.

You can choose the liberal version of freedom, but you might end up like this freak journalist in Australia doing horrible things and at least one hopes being held to account.

Speaking of of practical virtue, let me give you a great example of this. A guy in a New York City subway who sees another guy

go up to a passenger and start harassing him. So this predator comes in the subway, says, hey, what you looking at? Hey, what you looking at? Who are you smiling at? And he's harassing this guy.

And the guy on the subway is just trying to ignore him. And then enter our hero who starts filming this.
And he goes, hey, hey, hey. Why are you talking to that guy?

Why are you trying to pick on that guy? How about you talk to me instead?

Bro, he's not worried about you. He's smiling, living his life.
You want to bother him? Pick on somebody that's like that. I don't like that.

Ask me why I'm smiling at you. Ha, ha, ha.
I'm smiling at you. Ask me that.

The f. You want to ask somebody that's not doing mind his business? Ask me.

I'm like that.

No, no, you threaten him. I seen that.
I'm like that. Ask me.

Ask me why I'm smiling at you like that.

Ask me why I'm smiling at you like that.

Why?

You pick and choose your battles. He was minding his business, not even paying you no fing mind.
He's a b.

He's a b ⁇ .

And I hope you know that. Okay.
Exactly.

Love it. Give this guy the keys to the city.
I love this. This is a beautiful video.
What is he saying to him? We don't, obviously, he starts recording after the incident occurs, but the

alleged perpetrator here doesn't dispute the details of the incident. What happened? The guy comes on.
And I, man,

I've ridden a lot of New York subways for a long time. And you see this kind of guy.

Some crazy guy comes on, not even necessarily crazy, just undisciplined, just vicious, just a guy who wasn't raised right.

And he comes on and often he'll put his music really loud. Often he'll start making a scene.
He'll be acting in ways to get negative attention.

And then the moment anyone even looks at him, that's what he wants. He turns and goes, yeah, what you looking at? Yeah, what you looking at? Get over here.
Yeah.

And often there is a racial element to it.

It just is. It's just practically, that's how it goes, What you looking at, white boy? What you looking at?

And the guy, it's not always a white guy who's, but he looks, he's, no, nothing, not me, nothing. Yeah.

Come on. He's just looking.
And the guy, the guy's just trying to pick a fight. So in this case, someone else intervenes.
He goes, hey, hey, what are you doing?

And in this case, the guy who's intervening is obviously black. You can hear it from his voice.
He goes,

What are you doing? Why are you picking a fight with that guy?

How about you pick a fight with me instead? You want to pick a fight with me? Because that guy is just minding his own business.

And you looked that guy up and through your prejudice, which is accurate prejudice, you realize that guy doesn't want to fight you.

And he will do everything he can to avoid fighting you and avoid conflict. So you picked on him because he's an easy target.
But look at me. I'm crazy.
I'm a crazy guy.

I'm the kind of guy who starts filming predators on subways and starts picking fights with them. So how about you talk to me?

You didn't like that he was smiling at you? I'm smiling at you. Tee, Tee, he, hee, he.
Ha, ha, ha, ha. You going to pick a fight with me?

Someone who you are assessing right now is obviously not averse to conflict. I love conflict.
Go ahead, make my day.

No, you don't. You're a BITCH is what you are.
And then I love my favorite line in there. He goes, and I hope you know that.
I hope you know that because you're about to go viral.

But the most important line in there. is not even, I hope you know that, or you're a B-I-T-C-H.
The most important line in there is he he says,

you pick your targets. You pick your targets very carefully, and you pick weak targets.

You pick a fight that you know 100% of the time you're going to win.

And sometimes, look, that works for you all the time. Sometimes, though, other people are going to intervene.
And there are a lot of political lessons here.

And really, this one, maybe I'm going to get in trouble for this.

I actually want our side of the aisle.

i want us to learn the political lesson mostly from the perpetrator actually because the perpetrator is smart in his own way

there's a meta political lesson there's an overarching one how did the guy who intervened get away with this he only got away with it because he's black had a white guy come in there and started filming a black alleged perpetrator and say hey man you know i don't know let's say he's like a southern marine white guy let's say he's like daniel penny i don't know you know he's like a marine he's a tough guy he's trying to protect people.

That guy would go to jail. Let's say he's just some like, he's like a southern white guy.
And he comes and goes, hey, man, you better knock that off. Stop there.
Stop interviewing.

That guy would be immediately branded as a Nazi, as a neo-Confederate, as a Klansman by all of the liberal media outlets. The New York Times would run 150 think pieces on it in a week.

That guy's life would be ruined. So the only way that this guy goes viral and doesn't have his life ruined and gets some plaudits, actually, is because he himself is a black guy.

And that's just a fact of our political order. Doesn't in any way diminish that guy's courage.
That guy's awesome. I want him to get the keys to the city.

But it tells you something about our political order. There are racial hierarchies within our elite society, and certain people are treated differently than other people.
That's a fact.

The other lesson I want to take from this is from the predator himself,

who does pick his targets carefully.

All of us in politics need to pick our targets carefully. We need to pick battles that we know we can win.

And we need to pick weak people as our political enemies.

And when we really want to go in and get them, this is advice that comes all the way from Baudelaire up through the wire, which is if you come at the king, you best not miss.

You got to pick weak targets and you got to pick issues. that we can win on.
And you can try to drag in the less popular issues too.

But when you go in for the political rhetorical kill, you got to pick big winning issues. Trump is very very good at that.

This is how Trump has put Democrats on the wrong side of virtually every 80-20 issue in the country.

Much to learn about it, though. Acknowledge political reality to begin with and then pick weak targets.

Yeah, pick weak, not in an unjust way like the perpetrator is doing here, but within the confines of justice and the constitutional order and, you know, apple pie and hot dogs on the 4th of July.

We got to pick weak targets. We have to pummel them into the dirt.
We have to completely destroy them. We need to gain more political power.

And that's the only way that you're going to transform the political order for the better. Okay.
Speaking of identity politics and MSNBC,

MSNBC has just made an unbelievable accidental admission. The admission is that mass migration promoted by the left constitutes ethnic cleansing.

A great replacement, you might say. We'll get to that in a second.
First, I want to tell you about Done with Debt. Go to donewithdebt.com.
This episode is sponsored by DoneWithDebt.

What if you could give yourself one gift this holiday season that really matters? Like finally breaking free from the weight of credit card debt. Here's something most people don't realize.

This time of year creates a unique opportunity. As the year winds down, credit card companies and lenders are rushing to close their books.
They're settling past due accounts, writing off bad debt.

cleaning up their new records before the new year hits. If you are carrying credit card debt or unpaid bills, creditors are often more willing to negotiate right now.

You might actually have more leverage than you think. That is where done with debt comes in.
They understand this timing inside and out. They know when lenders are under pressure.

They know how to use this knowledge to negotiate aggressively on your behalf.

The goal is simple, to help you escape crushing debt and sky-high interest payments without bankruptcy, without taking on new loans. Get it done right now.

Do not allow yourself to be crippled and enslaved by debt. which a lot of people are, which a lot of people are.
It's kind of how the system's set up right now.

Get started because your leverage may disappear at the the end of the year. Chat for free with the Done with Debt specialist at donewithdebt.com.
Donewithdeb.com. That is donewithdebt.com.

MSNBC, it's now called MS Now, but the same network. MSNBC, there's that woman, Nicole Wallace,

goes out, interviews some lib, and they decry Trump's mass deportations. And they say, the mass deportations are not just unjust, not just unconstitutional, not just racist.
Actually,

the mass deportations of illegal aliens from this country constitute ethnic cleansing.

Very few of the people being rounded up are actually guilty of any crime. Yeah.

I mean, there are some, and that's where the public support is, but the vast majority of people that are deporting have committed the civil offense of being here illegally, and some of them, not even that.

Yeah, some of them are American citizens. I think what's really important to contextualize this in the big picture, which is the White House is embracing ethnic cleansing.

I mean, that is what is happening here. This is make America white again.
And it's sort of by any means necessary.

It's under the auspices of immigration reform and getting the, you know, the garbage out, but it's really about targeting black and brown people and allowing white Afrikaners into the country.

I mean, that's literally, those are the priorities of this administration.

Okay.

Before we get into the specific charge that the White House is engaging in ethnic cleansing and wants to make America white again, whatever,

let's just get to her claim. She says it is ethnic cleansing to change the demographics of a country by kicking people out.

What, therefore, would we call it when you change the demographics of a country by bringing people in?

What phrase would we necessarily have to use for that?

It would appear that MSNBC is now embracing not only the notion of the great replacement theory, which we're told is a horribly racist conspiracy theory, it would appear that MSNBC is going even further and saying that the mass migration policy pushed by Democrats constitutes an ethnic cleansing of Americans.

That is the only conclusion we can come to, according to their logic.

They say, well, when you radically change the, or even moderately, as would be the case with mass deportations, when you, in any way, change the demographics of a nation through an intentional policy, you are engaging in ethnic cleansing.

So whether you do it by kicking people out or bringing people in, that would be immaterial. The result,

the thing that constitutes the actual ethnic cleansing, would be precisely the same.

And when they tell us what they're doing, I guess we ought to believe them.

They say it is an ethnic cleansing. Okay.
Then they say that's what the White House is engaging in. Now, again,

what the White House is doing is something that every president up until

up, I was going to say up until Barack Obama, but even including much of Barack Obama's administration,

every president, maybe up until Joe Biden, you would have to say,

did

and said that they were doing, which is we need to kick out people who have no right to be here because the immigration law is one of the most basic laws in the country.

If a country can't determine who comes in, then you're not even a country. You're not even a nation.
You don't have a border. So that's all the White House is doing.

It involves mass deportations instead of minor deportations now because the Democrats ushered in so many illegals.

And then they go further, they say they want to make America white again.

Again, no evidence of that whatsoever. The one example they're using, bringing in a small number of white Afrikaners from South Africa, would,

if they actually believed their own ideological criteria, would be one of the clearest examples of people we should bring in.

Because what the libs always say is that we need to bring in people because they're refugees. Now, they're not really refugees.

99 plus percent of the illegal aliens that they bring in are economic migrants. They're not just fleeing political persecution in a place like Venezuela or Nicaragua.

They're coming here because they want to make money. The proof of that is they don't stop in any of the many countries along the way before they get to America.

And they don't stop there because those other countries are poor and America's rich and they want to come here and they want to, best case scenario, make a lot of money on their own.

And more frequently, they want to just use our welfare systems.

But if you do care about refugees, then look at South Africa where they chant that they want to kill the Boer, kill the farmer, shoot to kill. And you have these mass murders of the white farmers here

because they are white. They're as oppressed and persecuted a group seeking refuge as anyone you could pick.
The reason MSNBC doesn't like them is because they're white.

So then it comes to this racial politics. And then it raises a further question, because the Trump

administration manifestly is not trying to make America white again.

However, what if they were?

America was, what, 90% white for all of our history? And then after 1965, the Democrats had a massive shift in their immigration law.

And they specifically tried to bring in fewer white people and bring in a lot of non-white people.

And that changed the demographics of the country, such that the country now is about 60% white and the numbers keep declining,

in part because we don't bring in white people, but in part, or many white people, but also largely because white people don't have kids. So

if we remain agnostic on this question of whether that is good or bad, I guess we would have to ask, why is it good? Why does the left always celebrate when America becomes more non-white?

Black, brown, Asian, subcontinental, whatever.

Why do they celebrate that as a positively good thing? But why do they say it is absolutely beyond the pale and hateful if someone were to want to make it more white?

Because what it comes down to is not a matter of ethnic cleansing, to use their phrase. It's not even a matter of changing the demographics.

What it comes down to for these people is white bad, non-white good.

That's what it's coming down to.

And

they're admitting that. They're admitting that now.
And so we all say that we find that ugly. Even on the left, they kind of say that they find that ugly, even though they're advancing it.

But if that is where the political fight is right now, then it seems kind of silly to decry tribalism or to decry racial identity politics in the abstract, because we have it. We just have that.

You know, in a battle, your opponent gets a say and the left wants that and the left has made that. their top political priority and the left is now admitting to ethnic cleansing on MSNBC.
Okay.

I don't know how much more blunt they could be about it.

And so you can either ignore it and bury your head in the stand, or you could kind of ape them.

You could become a mirror image of them and engage in many of the same mistaken philosophical premises and political premises that they're engaging in.

You could be, I don't know, become a brown shirt or a black shirt or something like that.

Or...

You could deal substantively with the issues of immigration and say, no,

we don't want a lot of immigration

because that creates political problems. And actually, some groups are more easy to assimilate than others.
And it's a lot easier to assimilate English people than it is to assimilate Somalis.

And that is because they believe things.

The English are closer to us in belief. The English are closer to us in

their language.

Maybe that's the one thing that separates us, actually, is the English language.

The English are closer to us in their traditions and their institutions. We come from England.
And the English are closer to us in how they look.

That's part of it. You know, that's true in every other country in the world.
And that's true here. And it doesn't mean that you can't assimilate people.

Obviously, assimilation can be done well and can even be good. I mean, Ruth assimilates from the Moabites into the Israelites, and she's in the genealogy of Christ.

So it can happen, but we have to be careful about it. And we have to acknowledge some groups are easier to assimilate than others.
Some groups are really helpful to America.

Some groups are not really helpful to America. And we do need to make distinctions.
And everyone's already doing it, or at least the left is already doing it.

And so we can either ignore that or we can, we can deal with it seriously. You see this going on.

What is going on in Minneapolis right now could have been a Monty Python or Saturday Night Live sketch 20 years ago. Instead, it is the political reality out there.
We'll get to it in a second.

First, I want to tell you about pre-born. Go to preborn.com slash Knowles.
This Christmas season, you could help change a life. Two lives, actually.

Picture a young woman who just found out she's pregnant. She wasn't expecting it.
She's scared. Maybe she doesn't have much support.
She's not sure what her options are.

That is exactly who our sponsors, Pre-Born Ministries, are there for. They offer free ultrasounds and counseling to women facing these tough decisions.

Sometimes just seeing that ultrasound and talking to someone who cares makes all the difference.

If you are looking to give in a meaningful way, a way that will really have impact for generations, this is is worth considering.

Think about Steve Jobs, Celine Dion, Steph Curry, all unplanned pregnancies. Maybe you were too.
Maybe someone you love was. Life has a way of working out differently than we expect.

When a woman faces that difficult decision, pre-born is there to help. When a woman sees her baby's ultrasound, pre-born, everything can change.

I don't know, a sort of a colorblind melting pot working out in Minneapolis. Well, let's check in on this press conference from Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frye.

And

I can't even tell the guy's name. You'll find out why in a second, but a Minneapolis police officer, police chief.

I really

can't tell, and here's why.

Okay, listen, I don't speak Star Wars, so we can end it right here. But the reason I'm laughing is because you got this mayor, Jacob Frye, Frey.

I still don't know how to pronounce his name, but he's standing there, you know, white as the freshly driven snow, and he's listening to this Jabba the Hutt talk. And he's there,

Jacob Tukadukahan solo, ha ha ha. And there's Jacob Frey, and he's listening, and he's kind of nodding along.

Yes, wow, that was a very good point, Jabba. Yes, wow, that Boba Fett,

yes, of course.

Buddy, you don't understand a single syllable that this guy is saying. And

you have to engage in this forest. You have to pretend like you do, because you have to pretend like any of this is normal.

So what I am told that the Minneapolis policeman was saying, the Somali Minneapolis policeman, is that

the Minneapolis Police Department would back the Somali migrant community over ICE.

That the Minneapolis police, it is funny too. I mean, since we're speaking of racial politics, it is funny that

this Somali crisis, this fraud crisis, this crime crisis, this terrorism crisis, the fact that they're speaking this foreign gobbledygook, that it's taking place in like the whitest place ever in the history of America.

It is all like, you know, listen, I'm a little bit Sicilian.

Okay, so I'm kind of, I'm like Rwandan compared to the native Minnesotan population of these Scandinavian northern people who are white and blonde.

And the fact that the Somali thing is happening there is hilarious.

What is less hilarious is that the Somalis, I'm sorry, that the police department is saying, hey, we will back the criminals and the fraudsters and the terror funders and the people who should not be here.

People like Yilhan Omar, who married, committed immigration fraud, married her brother. These people who should not be here, we're going to back you over federal law enforcement.

There is a word for this.

It's a word that the Democrats used for years to refer to a Hornhat guy taking selfies in the Capitol, but I think it's a little more apt here. This is an insurrection.

This is a threat to our constitutional order. This is an assault on our democracy.
All of the things that the Libs pretend that they care about is really happening in Minnesota.

And it's not that the Libs have changed their principles suddenly. It's that their their faction, their specific identity groups that they consider to be on their faction

are on one side of the issue and they back their people. That's what it's about.

It has nothing to do with principles. It has nothing to do even with hypocrisy.
You can look at them and say, you hypocrites, hypocrisy. It's useless.
You're wasting the precious breath in your lungs.

It doesn't matter. That's so beside the point.

They view politics as battle between specific peoples, friends and enemies. And

I don't care.

They are thrilled to hear that the Somali Minnesota guy,

if they can understand the, you know, the Tatooine dialect, they're thrilled to hear that they're going to oppose federal law because our democracy doesn't mean a damn if it's going to oppose their specific interest groups.

Speaking of Somali fraud, Ilhan Omar goes on CNN

to explain. Jake Tapper, who at least, I don't know if he really is centrist left or slightly moderate, but he at least plays a moderate on TV.

He comes out and he says, look,

I think Jake Tapper plays the moderate in part because the left makes it so hard to defend them that he's he's exasperated. And he says, hey, guys, come on, give me something to work with here.
Okay.

I started my career in Democrat politics. Now I'm supposed to be a down-the-middle newsman, but you're making it so hard hard to do.

Please, hey, Ilhan, can you please give me a decent explanation as to why all the Somalis are committing fraud and funding terrorism in Minnesota?

Can you shed any light on why the fraud got so out of control in Minnesota?

I think what happened

is that, you know, when you have these kind of new programs that are designed to help people, you're oftentimes relying on third parties to be able to facilitate.

And I just think that a lot of the COVID programs that were set up, they were set up so quickly that a lot of the gargoyles did not get created.

I'm going to teach everyone a word today. Maybe some of you know it.
You're a highly educated and occasionally pretentious audience. So I, you might, but this is a word.

I just learned this word a week or two ago. Tergiversation.

She, Ilhan is tergiversating here, baby. That is some high-quality grade A tergiversation.

Tergiversation

is speech that evades, that dances around the main point, that does everything it can to obscure, to sound like you're saying something when you say nothing at all. That's what Ilhan's doing here.

Hey,

Ilhan, how come your constituents were defrauding all the taxpayers and funding foreign terrorists? Well, you know, I think it has to do actually with the COVID.

What?

COVID. I think global warming actually is why you understand that all the Somalis had to fund the terrorists by defrauding taxpayers.
It was because of overpopulation. I think maybe it was

because of,

you see, the Easter bunny, I think it was. Okay.

Okay, that's it. She's to jivir Satan because she got no answer.
Because what really happened is that the Democrats completely got caught with their pants down here.

They got caught with their hijabs down. They got caught with their burqas down.

They have imported lots and lots of people who do not contribute to America.

And I don't even believe that the only people that we should consider taking into America are those who can contribute.

That would be the strict, I don't know, libertarian or economic or kind of neoliberal view of why we should take people in.

Whenever they justify immigration, it's always, oh, they add so much to our economy. But I don't think that's true.
I think it is a good thing for

polities to take in at least a limited number of refugees. I think that is a good thing to do because we're all children of God and

because we were strangers in the land of Egypt. And I think that can be good.
in a limited, circumscribed way.

But they're not refugees either. I mean, they live in bad countries.
Somalia sucks, obviously. It's a terrible country, but that would not be a sufficient reason to take a whole nation of people in.

There have to be a real kind of specific oppression that

wouldn't totally undermine our political order. And here, they got nothing.
They don't contribute to the country. They're not refugees in any meaningful sense of that term.
They are fraudsters.

They do commit a ton of crime. They absolutely rape our welfare system.
And they don't believe the same things that we believe. So they don't really assimilate.
They don't speak our language.

They speak Star Wars. And they fund terrorists overseas.

There is no reason to bring them in other than

to completely reshape the American political order,

which is the polite way of saying the way that MSNBC calls it is they call it ethnic cleansing. That's it.

So if I were Ilhan Omer, I'd be Tujiva Satan too, because I would have no explanation for that.

Now,

speaking of the liberal arguments for this,

it's coming down to economic benefits and this and that welfare and all this. And

this ties into a related problem, which is,

have you noticed that a lot of some people really require food stamps and welfare? And I think it's good to have a welfare system for those people.

Some people abuse it. And have you noticed how many very, very, very fat people take food stamps, take take money from you to pay for their food.

Well, this ties in also with our yes or no game I just played with Reed Choy. Should there be a weight limit to qualify for SNAP benefits? What do angels look like? Did Japan deserve to get nuked?

Find out more. All these answers and so much more in the latest yes or no with Reid Joy.

Last little bit on the Somalis. I don't want to beat up on the Somalis too hard.

It just gives this opening to talk about this huge issue that the voters have been voting on, now the majority of voters, for a decade, which is

do

these migrants contribute to our economy? Obviously, the Somalis, they're defrauding the taxpayer. They've taken all this money.
Well, now the liberals have caught up.

They've got their response, and their response is to say, no, they actually drive economic growth.

Here is from KSTP in Minnesota. They say Somali Minnesotans drive economic growth, and they actually pay $67 million in taxes annually.

They generate, see, they're really good. The reason we need to take them is not because their country is terrible.
It's not because

they're poor and oppressed.

It's because

they're really helpful to us. Are they?

The Somali population,

let's just look at the key statistics. Roughly at least 40%

have no education, are unemployed, and are on food stamps.

At least 40%.

And then when you look at the number that are in poverty, it's almost 60%.

They do not contribute to the economy.

They are net takers by a lot. Is there any argument other than that to make for them? Not really.
Okay, so

the humanitarian argument is out. The economic argument is out.
The argument from

the melting pot argument. Well, you know, even some of the arguments you have in here is, well, they bring great food.
The Somalis don't even have food. They don't even have good.
What is Somali food?

I like tacos. Okay.
There's an argument for Mexican immigration. I sort of like, they're not even, it's not top 10 for me, but whatever.
Tacos can be nice every once in a while.

But what's the argument for, there's none.

And they're told not to assimilate. They're told told to do their own thing, speak their own language, take over the police department.
Now, speaking of food stamps,

there's a foreign lady who was just interviewed by a local Fox affiliate. A foreign lady who

is,

you know, I really, I never would make fun of a woman's appearance. I certainly don't intend to, but a foreign lady who is not the skinniest goes on,

a local Fox affiliate, is asked about a change to food stamps that would require a work requirement. So, and the work requirement would be 80 hours per month, not 80 hours per week.

I know a lot of people who work 80 hours per week. I know people in this building who work 80 hours per week, but not 80 hours per week, 80 hours per month.
So that's 20 hours or less per week.

That's part-time employment. That's four hours per day and you get your weekends off.
She says that's way too much.

I don't think it's fair that you do that.

And you were saying you think it's going to hurt a lot of people? Oh, yeah, definitely. Definitely it's going to hurt a lot of people because you never know.
You know what?

Especially now that we're in the holidays and everybody wants to have a good dinner and everything. And if you don't give it to them, it's going to be really hard.

It's very sudden and it will affect people.

It's very sudden. And it cuts to this guy, young guy, working A, you know, obviously seems able-bodied.

It's very sudden. It's very hard.
And so I don't, I really don't, I don't make, I don't ever make fun of people's appearances. I don't.
But it is notable that when you look at food stamp recipients,

they're not starving. Most of the time.
Most of the time, they're not starving.

And so you say, well, do you really need this? Some people really do need it. And I'm not a libertarian.

If you've taken one thing away from this show, it's probably that I'm not a libertarian. So I do think it is good for the government to support poor people.

Look, the way our economy is built, there's always going to be some unemployment. There has to be some unemployment so that there can be elasticity in the job market and people can go and switch jobs.

And so, yeah, that's already built in. And so therefore, I think you have a political obligation to take care of those people.
Our Lord tells us the poor will always be with us.

And that means that we do need to take care of the poor. You don't want to crowd out private charity.
You don't want to crowd out the churches. That's one practical worry about welfare programs.

But some modest and well-ordered welfare program, I think, is good.

But how offensive is it to Americans when some lady walks out there, a lady who's not starving, with a foreign accent, and says, Yeah, I think it's just terrible to expect people to work 20 hours a week.

I mean, I want a good dinner.

And if you're not going to give me a good dinner, I mean, come on. I mean, come on.
Can you imagine?

It's outrageous.

How many Americans are working a lot more than 20 hours a week who are

not getting a penny from the government?

That leads to, you know, the real fancy people on the left and on the right, Chamber of Commerce types, they say, oh, you know, this anti-immigration, this is nativism, this is xenophobia nativism, driven by resentment from the white working class, not just the white working class, by the way, but by the working class broadly, perhaps.

It is a totally understandable resentment.

I personally resent it when people come to this country,

usually illegally, and they come here and they have a thick accent and then they say, hey, if you don't give me food without even making me work a tiny little bit ever, you're a bad person.

Yeah, I do resent that. I resent that.
It is normal to resent. There is something wrong with you, actually, if you don't have a little hint of anger at that.

And the rational conclusion to draw is we need to kick a lot of those people out. Now, speaking of Trump's policies, one last bit I have to get to, because it's a big news story.

You know, Trump has been targeting Venezuelan drug boats, and this has become a big problem according to the Democrats. They want to try Secretary of War Pete Hegseth at the Hague for war crimes.

They say he's committing war crimes because he's blowing up these narco-terrorists in Venezuela, off the coast of Venezuela. So this is really, really tough.
You cannot do this.

This is not that fascist authoritarian Donald Trump. He has changed our constitutional order.
He is now using the military to target the poor narco-terrorists.

And we need to stop him now. Well, Trump's policy is being defended by an unlikely source.
It's the most recent Democrat president.

That would be Joe Biden, who used those exact words, actually, narco-terrorism.

Joe Biden has backed Donald Trump's policy 100%.

Every president for the past two decades, Democrat and Republican alike, has declared war on drugs. And each of them has lost that war and lost it miserably.

They lost because they attempted to deal with only part of the drug problem.

They lost because their initiatives were pulled apart by bureaucratic squabbling among their advisors. They lost because they always did too little and they did it too late.

We don't oppose the president's plan. All we want to do is strengthen it.
We don't doubt his resolve. All we want to do is stiffen it.

The trouble is that the president's proposals are not big enough to deal with the problem.

We think we should do more to stem the flow of drugs across our borders, and we think we should go one step further.

Let's go after the drug lords where they live, with with an international strike force. There must be no safe haven for these narco-terrorists, and they must know it.

We have to lock up the dealers for a long, long time, and we have to attack the source from which the drugs come.

Beautifully said. I thought this was AI.
It was Maze who posted this. Got to give a big hat tip to Mays.
You're finding this.

I look, no, no, that's a real quote. Narco-terrorists, see what he says.

We need an international strike force to hit these narco-terrorists where they live, where they are, to stop the drugs from coming in in the first place.

The closest thing that the Democrats have to a serious

scandal from the Trump administration right now, the one they're doubling down on, they're getting gearing up if they win the midterms for their investigations, their subpoenas.

They want to try Pete Hagseth for war crimes,

for doing something

that their most recent president explicitly called for.

Joe Biden, in that televised address, by the way, speaking for the Democrat Party, not even just some weird thought that popped into his head during an interview, giving an address speaking for the Democrat Party, saying, I want to do exactly what Donald Trump is doing 30 years from now.

25 years, 26 years from now, because that was in 1989.

What changed?

What changed is not the principle. What changed is not the issue.
What changed, it's not even the hypocrisy.

What changed is in those days, the Democrats, at least ostensibly, were on the side of the Americans against the foreign narco-terrorists.

And now the Democrats are on the side of the foreign narco-terrorists.

Back in the old days, when the Democrats were in favor of mass deportations for illegal aliens and for closing up the border and all that, they were on the side of Americans.

Now they are on the side of the foreigners and they are against Americans. That's it.
That's all that changed. The issue didn't change.

The hypocrisy didn't change. It's just they picked a different side.

They decided to pick a different team, a different faction. And now we don't have a common enemy.
Now, in their minds, their enemy is you.

And I'm Jerry's Heart. Today's topic, Repatha, Evalokimap.
Heart, why'd you pick this one?

Well, Jerry, for people who have had a heart attack, like us, diet and exercise might not be enough to lower the risk of another one. Okay.

To help know if we're at risk, we should be getting our LDLC, our bad cholesterol, checked, and talking to our doctor. I'm listening.

And if it's still too high, Rapatha can be added to a statin to lower our LDLC and our heart attack risk. Hmm, guess it's time to ask about Repatha.
Do not take Repatha if you're allergic to it.

Serious allergic reactions can occur. Get medical help right away if you have trouble breathing or swallowing.
Swelling of the face, lips, tongue, throat, or arms.

Common side effects include runny nose, sore throat, common cold symptoms, flu or flu-like symptoms, back pain, high blood sugar, and redness, pain, or bruising at the injection site.

Listen to your heart. Ask your doctor about Repatha.
