Michael Knowles Exposes Virginia Attorney General Candidate Jay Jones Wishing Death on Republican Opponent and His Children
Michael Knowles reveals shocking text messages from Virginia Attorney General candidate Jay Jones, who explicitly wished for the murder of Republican House Speaker Todd Gilbert and his children. The texts, dating from 2022, show Jones fantasizing about putting two bullets in Gilbert's head and hoping Gilbert's wife would watch their child die in her arms. Despite these revelations, Jones remains in the race without losing a single endorsement from Democratic organizations or officials, including Senator Cory Booker. Knowles argues this represents a dangerous shift in American politics where political violence against conservatives is not only tolerated but implicitly endorsed by mainstream Democrats. The episode examines the breakdown of civil discourse, the rise of leftist political violence, and what Knowles sees as the Democratic Party's refusal to condemn calls for violence against their political opponents.
Virginia Attorney General Candidate's Shocking Text Messages Revealed
Michael Knowles opens with disturbing revelations about Jay Jones, the Democratic candidate for Attorney General of Virginia. Text messages from 2022 show Jones explicitly wishing for the murder of then-Virginia House Speaker Todd Gilbert and his children. In one exchange, Jones writes about putting two bullets in Gilbert's head and hoping that Gilbert's wife would watch their child die in her arms so Gilbert might reconsider his political positions. When confronted by a fellow state legislator who expressed discomfort with these violent statements, Jones doubled down, admitting he believes the only way people change their policy positions is when they feel pain personally.
The texts reveal Jones saying he would go to the funerals of his political opponents to urinate on their graves and comparing Republican Speaker Gilbert to Hitler and Pol Pot. When asked directly about hoping for the death of Jennifer Gilbert's children, Jones confirmed: "Yes. I've told you this before. Only when people feel pain personally do they move on policy." He went further, stating he believes Todd and Jennifer Gilbert are "evil" and "breeding little fascists."
No Apology and No Lost Endorsements
Despite the severity of these statements, Jones has not issued a genuine apology. His official response contained no use of the words "sorry," "apologize," or "apology." Instead, he claimed "like all people, I've sent text messages that I regret" and pivoted to attacking his Republican opponent Jason Miyares, accusing him of dropping "smears through Trump-controlled media organizations." The statement mentioned Donald Trump three times but never directly addressed or apologized for the specific content of his violent fantasies.
Most remarkably, Jones has not lost a single endorsement from Democratic organizations or officials. The Virginia Beach Democratic Committee released a statement after the texts became public declaring they "stand firmly behind Jay Jones" and are "lined up 10 toes down ready to organize, mobilize, and deliver voters for Jay and our entire Democratic ticket." The committee invoked the biblical phrase "let those without sin cast the first stone" to defend their continued support.
Prominent Democrats Maintain Their Support
Knowles identifies several prominent Democrats who continue to endorse Jones despite the revelations:
- Senator Cory Booker of New Jersey maintains his endorsement, which remains prominently displayed on Jones's campaign website
- Congresswoman Abigail Spanberger, the Democratic gubernatorial nominee for Virginia, refuses to disavow Jones
- Congressman Bobby Scott continues his endorsement
- Planned Parenthood maintains its endorsement
- Numerous labor unions continue supporting the campaign
Knowles provides phone numbers for Senator Booker's office (202-224-3224) and Congressman Scott's office (202-225-8351), encouraging listeners to call and ask why these officials support a candidate who has wished death upon political opponents and their children. He argues that maintaining these endorsements after such revelations constitutes implicit support for political violence against conservatives.
A Broader Pattern of Democratic Support for Political Violence
Knowles places the Jay Jones situation within a broader context of what he describes as increasing leftist political violence and Democratic tolerance for it. He references the recent assassination of Charlie Kirk by a leftist assassin and what he characterizes as widespread celebration or minimization of that violence by Democrats at all levels of society. He cites recent polling showing people who identify as "very liberal" are eight times as likely to endorse political violence compared to those who consider themselves "very Republican," with nearly 30% of young liberals believing political violence can be justified compared to approximately 7% among conservatives.
The Virginia Beach Democratic Committee's defense of Jones using the "let those without sin cast the first stone" biblical reference particularly troubles Knowles. He points out that when Christ used this phrase to defend the woman caught in adultery, he followed it by telling her "go and sin no more"—not endorsing her for public office. The committee's statement, according to Knowles, can only be interpreted as institutional Democratic Party endorsement of violence against Republicans and their children.
Zoran Mamdani and the Future of New York City
Shifting focus to New York City politics, Knowles discusses Zoran Mamdani, whom he describes as a "Muslim communist running on a platform of queer liberation" who is likely to become the next mayor of New York. Knowles shows footage of Mamdani shrieking at Tom Homan, the federal deportations czar, with his face red and contorted. Unlike typical political theater, Knowles argues this represents Mamdani's genuine character—someone who doesn't need to prove his leftist credentials but rather needs to demonstrate he's normal enough to govern.
Mamdani has previously called for communism in housing policy and "queer liberation," positioning himself well to the left of predecessors like Eric Adams and Andrew Cuomo. Knowles suggests that contrary to cynical views of politicians as merely power-hungry and unprincipled, Mamdani represents someone who genuinely believes in his radical ideology, which Knowles considers "very bad for New York" and "anti-American."
ICE Enforcement and the Federal-State Showdown
Knowles celebrates recent Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) operations, particularly sharing footage of agents apprehending an Antifa operative in Portland. The video shows ICE agents physically restraining and transporting someone wearing a black hoodie and backpack—imagery Knowles finds particularly satisfying given his characterization of Antifa as "domestic terrorists" and "anarchist communists" who seek to injure ordinary conservative Americans.
He frames the ongoing immigration enforcement as a necessary showdown between the federal government and blue cities where "these evils fester," including Portland and Chicago. Deputy White House Chief of Staff Stephen Miller appeared in Memphis to announce federal support "not just with words" but "with men, with forces, with resources" to restore order to cities. Knowles argues the real challenge comes not from blue cities in red states but from blue cities in blue states where mayors and governors actively undermine federal law enforcement.
This resistance, according to Knowles, constitutes "insurrection"—a term he finds ironic given Democratic characterizations of January 6th. He argues there is nothing improper about the federal government enforcing federal law when cities and states refuse to do so, describing it as one of the fundamental purposes of federal authority. The showdown is inevitable and necessary, in his view, to restore the rule of law.
Bad Bunny's Super Bowl Message and the Attack on American Unity
Knowles criticizes Puerto Rican rapper Bad Bunny's appearance on Saturday Night Live, where the performer spoke entirely in Spanish before telling the audience: "And if you didn't understand what I just said, you have four months to learn." The audience applauded this statement, which Knowles interprets as celebrating disrespect toward American norms and the English language.
Bad Bunny is scheduled to perform at the Super Bowl halftime show, which Knowles sees as symbolic of a broader attack on American national unity. He clarifies he has no opposition to the Spanish language itself or to multilingualism generally, noting he speaks several languages. Rather, the issue is the deliberate disrespect toward English as a unifying national symbol. Knowles argues that while America historically had multiple unifying forces—ethnic homogeneity, shared religion, borders—these have been systematically undermined or delegitimized. Language represents one of the last remaining unifying elements of American national identity.
The left's eagerness to undermine English as the national language, according to Knowles, represents an attack on the very notion of America as a coherent nation. The cheering at Bad Bunny's statement wasn't simply appreciation for Spanish but celebration of undermining American coherence. Knowles sees this as part of why President Trump has issued executive orders on matters like flag burning—to restore reverence for national symbols that bind Americans together.
Things Are Much Worse Than You Think
Knowles concludes with a sobering assessment of the current political situation. While describing himself as neither optimistic nor pessimistic but rather "hopeful"—which he characterizes as a theological virtue—he warns that "things are much worse than you think they are." He notes that people are cheering for disrespect of the American people, that legislators in women's clothing are running around the Capitol, and that one of the two major political parties is explicitly endorsing the murder of members of the other party along with their children.
This recognition of stakes, Knowles argues, justifies President Trump's strong actions: sending federal agents into blue cities, deporting over two million people, and issuing executive orders to restore older national policies on symbols like the American flag. For those who wish to pretend this is simply 1998 and everyone basically agrees, Knowles has a stark message: the assassination of Charlie Kirk changed everything, or rather revealed that everything had already changed and many people didn't want to admit it.
The fact that Jay Jones remains in the race without losing endorsements demonstrates this fundamental change. Knowles argues this must be addressed politically because if it's not addressed politically, people will address it personally—which would be unjust and disordered. The time for political strength and leadership is now, with the people supporting the administration because Trump won the popular vote. When the administration responds to increasing civil turmoil with strength, conservatives must support that response, or the situation will continue to deteriorate.
Video Transcript

He is a former state legislator and he has been caught on the record. Good hat tip to National Review here. This was a great great report. He has been caught wishing for the murder of a major Republican opponent and the opponent's children. When called out on it, he doubled down. These texts are from 2022, so they're not that long ago. It's it's not as though these texts came out in 2006 or something. And he's he's a different person now than he was then. This is very very recent. This is amid the recent upswing in leftist political violence that really begins around BLM in earnest. He specifically fantasized about putting two bullets into the uh then uh Virginia House Speaker Todd Gilbert's head. Uh he suggested that he wished that Gilbert's wife could watch her own child die in her arms so that perhaps Gilbert might cons reconsider his political views. And he accused the the Republicans of breeding little fascists. So he said the kids are little fascists. This name fascist bandied about as a way to justify murdering someone as you saw on the bullets written by the assassin of Charlie Kirk. So ju just so that I'm not accused of taking anything out of context or being hyperbolic or anything like that. Here are the texts. This was uh Jay Jones writing to a a fellow state legislator. He says, "If those guys die before me, I will go to their funerals to piss on their graves. send them out a wash in something. And then this interlocutor says, "Jay Jones, like Jay, Jay, come on. Come on, Jay." He responds, "Three three people, two bullets. Gilbert, the Republican speaker of the house. Gilbert, Hitler, and Polepot. Gilbert gets two bullets to the head. Spoiler. Put Gilbert in the crew with the two worst people, you know, and he receives both bullets every time." the man who wants to be attorney general of Virginia. Jay, please stop, says the interlocutor. Lol. Okay. Okay. It really bothers me when you talk about hurting people or wishing death on them. You weren't simply asking questions and you know it goes on few exchanges. Uh you you were talking about hoping Jennifer Gilbert's children would die. Yes. Yes. He admits. Yes. I've told you this before. Only when people feel pain personally do they move on policy. I disagree with a state legislator on a matter of public policy. So I want his children to be murdered and I want them to be murdered in his wife's arms because then he might agree with me on some other policy. This is explicitly what he's saying. I won't I won't read everything, but he says I I point blank asked you more than three times. You dug in that you meant it. I honestly I'm questioning a lot today. He responds, I mean, do I think Todd and Jennifer, the Republicans, are evil and that they're breeding little fascists? Yes. Okay. Obviously, this is totally disqualifying on every count. Wishing murder on a Republican at any time is disqualifying. Wishing murder on the Republican legislator's children is particularly disqualifying. The fact that this all happened relatively recently is completely disqualifying. So, he's disqualified on three fronts, except he's still in the race. He's still in the race. Now, at this point, you'd assume he would have lost half of his endorsements, right? Not quite. You would at least expect him to have have issued an apology, right, to try to keep his endorsements. I don't know. You tell me. Is this an apology? This This is his statement. Like all people, I've sent text messages that I regret and I believe that violent rhetoric has no place in our politics. Let's be clear about what's happening right now in the attorney general race. Jason Miares, the Republican, is dropping smears through Trumpcontrolled media organizations to assault my character, my great my great character. I'm wishing death upon my opponent's children. I'm my my great character and rescue his desperate campaign. This is a strategy that ensures Jason Miz will continue to be accountable to Donald Trump, none of the people of Virginia. This race is about whether Trump can control Virginia or Virginiaians control Virginia. Okay, so I am just looking at this now. I'm looking for the word sorry. How many times does the word sorry come up? Uh, nowhere. How many times does the word apologize or apology? How many how many times do those were uh they don't. How many times does the word Trump come up? Three times. So in this nonapology apology, there's no word sorry. There's no appearance of the words sorry, shame, guilt, apology. He does say regret once in general. He doesn't even say I regret these text messages. He says like like all people, we're all the same. I didn't do anything particularly wrong. You're just as bad as I am. You're just as bad as he probably does think that. This is what happens with pe when people are very perverse like like Jay Jones and Virginia's. When people are sick like Jay Jones, they think that everyone is as disgusting as they are. Like all people, I've sent text messages that I regret. No, not like all I never sent those text messages. Did you ever send those text messages? No. You didn't wish death on your political opponents and their children and that their children would die in their wife's arms so that your opponent might come over to your side on some policy issue. You never did that. Okay. So, I guess it's not like all people Jay Jones. So, you know, and I I I've sent text messages in general that he doesn't even say he regrets these vile vile person. So, let's let's look at the endorsements he's lost. Virginia Beach Democrats. Here you go. This is an organization. This is not even a single individual. This is not a personal friend of his. This is the Democratic Party. Headline, Virginia Beach Democratic Committee stands firmly behind Jay Jones for Attorney General. I know this is jaw-dropping. Maybe it's not. Maybe people have such low expectations of Democrats these days, especially after all those polls that came out in recent weeks showing how much Democrats support political violence. But to me, this is still somewhat surprising to me, still somewhat shocking, at least, if not surprising. This came out after the text messages. Stands firmly behind Jay Jones. The Virginia Beach Democratic Committee reaffirms its full support of Jay Jones for attorney general. We are lined up 10 toes down ready to organize, mobilize, and deliver voters for Jay and our entire Democratic ticket. They acknowledge, they say, recent press may have spot spotlighted past mistakes. We say, "Let those without sin cast the first stone. Let let he who is without sin cast the first stone." I I don't I I don't think that I'm better in some absolute sense than Jay Jones. I I would encourage I would point out that Jay Jones is a very very bad man. A very bad man who is particularly unqualified for the job that he is seeking, namely the the top law enforcement officer in a commonwealth. He is particularly bad for that. But he's a fellow human being. We have charity for him. He should go to confession. He should repent. He should probably go to private private life for a little while. Maybe go just work some job as a county lawyer somewhere as a as a go work at some firm. I don't do what what do whatever you want to do. Get out of politics for a little bit because you're sick. Okay, that's to to point that out is not to say we are the the holiest people in the world. It's to say we recognize that public office requires someone who has even a modicum of a sense of justice and who doesn't want to murder half of his constituents. Let him who is without sin cast the first stone. Furthermore, this is obviously a reference to Christ who defends the woman who is about to be stoned for adultery. When the woman is about to be stoned for adultery, he points out to the men. He says, "Hey, well, let let him who is without sin cast the first stone." Then the crowd goes away. But then what does Christ always say to the people, to the sinners that he defends? He says, "Go and sin no more." He doesn't say, "And now you are attorney general of Virginia." So they double down on it. We firmly Oh, we love they this probably increased Jay Jones's support among the Democratic party because there is no conclusion that we can reach other than many, many, many Democrats agree with Jay Jones. Many, many, many Democrats and not just individuals, whole organizations. This is a party committee. They won't pull their endorsement from him because they agree with him because they do want to murder Republicans and they do want to murder Republicans kids and they want Republicans kids to be killed in their mother's arms cuz they hate you and want you dead. That's the only way. That is the only way to read this press release. This is institutional endorsement of the murder of Republicans and our children. That's what this is. Not from some lunatic, not from some freak on Twitter. not from the Democratic Party. That's what this is. After we see these poll after poll, Democrats, people who identify as very liberal, eight times as likely to endorse political violence as people who consider themselves very Republican. Young liberals in particular, almost 30% believe political violence can be justified compared to what, something like 7% among conservatives. How many after the widespread reaction among Democrats to the assassination of Charlie Kirk that minimized, excused, and even celebrated it at all levels, the media, in government, in business, and your coworker and your cousin and that person who lives down your street and that person you went to high school with. across the across the spectrum. There are top Democrats today who continue to endorse Jay Jones and continue to endorse your murder. We'll get to that in one second because I I have a recommendation of what you can do to help this situation. First though, I want to tell you about Helix Sleep. Go to helixleep.com/nolles. I want to invite you onto my bed. You've wondered about it for years. What would it be like to sleep with Michael? Well, I have the answer. Helix. You get your own Helix.

It is just absolutely magnificent all times of the year. In fact, you know, my two sons have Helix mattresses and sometimes, even though, you know, the mattress is built for the individual person, then sometimes you're like, "This is kind of comfy, too.

So Jay Jones, scum of the earth, non-apology apology, doubles down, clearly reaffirmed it multiple times, wants to murder Republicans and our kids and watch the the kids die in the mother's arms. The Democratic party stands behind him. What about individuals? Abigail Spanberger. Abigail Spanberger is a Democrat uh legislator running for governor right now, the gubanatorial nominee. Abigail Spanberger refuses to disavow. So there is no conclusion we can draw other than that Abigail Spanberger endorses the murder of Republicans and our kids. He didn't even really apologize. What is this? Is that is this an apology? He issued a second statement after cuz he realized this one kind of flopped. But show me a proper apology. I haven't seen one. Cy Booker. Corey Booker. What? Who is Spartacus? Remember Spartacus? He's the New Jersey senator. Oh, good, moderate, mild, virtuous Cy Booker. Runs into burning buildings to save people. Cy Booker endorsed this guy. Cy Booker's endorsement of Jay Jones is still on the JS website. Cy Booker has not pulled his endorsement. So, I cannot help but conclude that Cy Booker endorses the murder of Republicans and our children. How else am I supposed to think about this? If he pulled his endorsement from Jay Jones, then I might say, "Okay, that's a bridge too far. Cory Booker is not one of those guys. He doesn't He unlike the Virginia Beach Democratic Committee, he doesn't want to murder me and my kids." But in as long as he keeps the endorsement there, he supports that. I think we should ask Corey Booker if he supports that. Cy Booker's phone number is 202243224. If you have a pen, if you're driving, pull over, write it down. 20224 3224. That's Cy Booker's Senate number. I would call Senator Booker's office. I'm I'm really curious. I would say, "Hello, Senator Booker." Oh, hello, assistant to Senator Booker. Hi. Yeah. Um, why does Senator Booker support the murder of me and my children? Oh, he doesn't. Well, he's still endorsing Jay Jones. Jay Jones who repeatedly has endorsed such murder. So, is Cy Booker going to going to pull his endorsement? And you know what they're going to say in the other line? They're probably going to say, "No, no, he's not going to pull it." But he he really Well, the talk is cheap. Talk is really cheap. And though you you can't simultaneously have both things. You can't simultaneously endorse Jay Jones for attorney general of Virginia and say that you don't want to murder Republicans and their children. Those two things don't go together. That violates the law of non-contradiction. So I would call Senator Booker's office, that number again, 2022 3224, and I would ask him. I'd say, "Hey, excuse me. Why do you support the murder of Republicans and our kids? And why do you want their kids to die in their mother's arms?" And if you don't get a good answer, if you don't get a satisfactory answer, I would consider calling back and trying to get a a real answer out of out of this top Democrat senator. He This guy ran for president. How about Bobby Scott? Congressman Bobby Scott. Phone number 202258351. That number again, 2022 8351. Do you know I don't know Bobby Scott. Apparently, he's a congressman. He endorses Jay Jones. There there are a lot of people who endorse Jay Jones. Their phone numbers are all online. Their office phone numbers. I would call their offices. I would try to get some clarity on this. This is pretty shocking stuff. This would have been unimaginable even 5 years ago. Even 5 years ago. I'm not saying 20, 30, 40 years ago. 5 years ago comes out. Forget about the fact that this is all coming out after the left murdered a leftist assassin murdered the most prominent civil debater on the right and then much of the rest of the Democratic party celebrated it or at least excused it. Forget about that circumstance. Take put that aside for a second. Just the fact that this text message could come out and this guy would not drop out of the race the very next day shows you that something has dangerously cracked in our politics. And I would make sure you call up some of those top dem there are other organizations. Planned Parenthood endorsed him. That's no surprise obviously. That's actually uh probably part for the course for Planned Parenthood. That pro that's probably the reason they endorsed frankly. Oh, you support the murder of our opponent's children? Yeah. Yeah. Great. Okay, perfect. Where do I where do we write the check? A lot of unions. A lot of unions. Are you a member of a union? A lot of unions support JJ Jones. I would look on jjones.com/endorsements. I would look up to see if my union had endorsed. I'd probably call my union leadership. Okay, enough on JJ Jones. You get the point. 20224 3224. That's Senator Booker's office in case you forgot. Speaking of unhinged Democrats, [Music] Is any of this episode even going to make it onto YouTube today? We're going to we're going to find out. We're going to find out. Otherwise, you got to go to dailywire.com to get the full to get the full show. This is not imaginable even for left-wing Republicans six or sorry, leftwing Democrats six, seven years ago. We are in a completely new situation. And my point to the Democrats, especially on the political violence thing, is do not allow your the posity of imagination to uh fa to stop you from restraining yourself. Now, a lot of people don't think that politics can spin out of control. It can it can spin out of control. Serious civil strife at least has has started for a lot less than what we're seeing around us. We can't pull it back. The Republicans can't pull it back because we're not the ones instigating it. We're not the ones defending political violence. We're not the ones calling for the murder of our opponents and their children. We're not the ones who don't know the difference between a man and a woman running around like screaming lunatics at the capital in in women's clothing with with big butch voices. Okay? We're not we're not those people. It's you. You're the crazy ones. And we can try to restrain you. I guess that's what federal law enforcement is trying to do. But if if half the country's political order spins out of control and starts endorsing murdering the other half and their kids, there's not all that much we can do to prevent serious serious civil strife. Okay. Now, I want to tell you about something a little bit happier, and that's Vandy Crisps. Go to vandy crisps.com/nolles. Did you know that all chips and fries used to be cooked in beef tallow until the 1990s when big corporations switched to cheap processed seed oils? Today, seed oils make up 20% of the average American's daily calories and have been linked to metabolic issues and inflammation. Vandy Crisps saw a problem in the snack aisle and decided to do something about it. They created an incredible potato chip with just three simple ingredients and no seed oils. They just use heirloom potatoes, sea salt, and 100% grass-fed beef tallow. That beef tallow is not just there for the amazing flavor. It's loaded with nutrients that are fantastic for your skin, your brain, your hormones. It's just totally different. Okay. The the other thing about Vandy Crisps is because they're totally different and they they feel fuller. I don't know. They feel like what a chip should be. So, probably you get the feeling within a quarter of the Vandy crisps. The feeling of fullness and satisfaction as you would from, you know, four times that in some cheap seed oil potato chip. They're just magnificent. My favorite flavor is the original. I just love the original, but I've heard they have a new one, Herb de Provence, which I haven't tried yet, so I have to try those two. But the original for me are where it's at. They are 100% Americanmade, zero compromises. Best chips I've ever had. Hands down. Beef tallow makes them super satiating. You will love it. Or if you're ready to give Vandy a try, go to vandyrisps.com/nolles. Use code nulls for 25% off your first order. vandyps.com/nolles. Code nolles 25% off your first order. Don't feel like ordering online? That's fine. It's available nationwide at your local Sprouts Supermarket. Stop by and pick up a bag before they're gone. Hey, we got a new show. I'm very very excited about this. Uh we have a new show. We were meaning to launch it a month, two months ago. It kind of got held up a little bit. Uh you know, events dictate how we release things. Uh but this this show is something we've been planning for a long time. It's called Barfight. And it's where me it's me and two libs. We go to a honky tonk in Nashville. Nashville is in a red state, Tennessee, but it's a blue town, Nashville. So, you get a mix of political people in there, and you have an open debate on all sorts of issues. Here's just a little clip. >> Trump is Putin's >> You are anti-American. >> No, no, no, no, no. Let me talk. Most of the illegals are asylum seekers. Or are they economic? >> Wait, no, wait, wait, wait. I want to help you get laid, not me. Like, >> are you pro inel? Well, welcome to Barfight. I'm Michael Nolles. I'm joined tonight by two guests. Wow. Real sophisticated answer. >> I know. >> You would know him from CNN if anyone ever watched Adam Mockler. Well, dude, you got to answer my questions a little better. >> Just because you're wrong about something doesn't mean it's not convenient. >> You know what? You should get out of my country. >> They want more deportation. >> I'm also joined one of the most reasonable people ever to appear on Jubilee. That would be Cecilia Ray. as Barf Fight. So you can go check it out now on the Michael Nolles YouTube channel and Daily Wire Plus Cecilia Ray, Adam Mockler, and a bar full of rowdy intoxicated people. Okay, speaking of theatrical Democrats, Soran Mani, next mayor of New York. He is the Muslim communist running on a platform of queer liberation for New York City. Probably not going to go well. He's almost certainly going to be the mayor. Zoron just made a spectacle of himself because Tom Holman was in New York, top deportation zar, and Zoron decided to shriek at him like a maniac. [Music] >> This is a bad look for him. If you're just listening to this show right now, he's red in the face. He's his face is all contorted. He's shrieking at the federal deportations are. So, I think a lot of people see this and say, "Ah, this is all just theatricality. He's trying to signal to his base that he's really opposed the deportations." Maybe, maybe. But I don't know. I think this might really be him because this is a bad look for him. Zoron Mandani does not need to convince anyone that he's radical. Zoran Mandani does not need to convince anyone that he's on the left. He He won that race. He everyone knows he's to the left of Andy Cuomo. Everyone knows he's to the left of Eric Adams. Everyone knows he's to the left of Curtis Leewa. He doesn't have to win over the left. He doesn't need to excite the left. He is a communist. He's called for communism and housing. We played the clip last week. He's called for queer liberation. He's all this kind of stuff. Okay. So, he's got that locked down. Zo Zoran Mdani needs to convince people that he's normal now. Apparently, the clip has just started going viral again. The clip is apparently from earlier this year. Still though, it was from while he's already running. At that point, no one is thinking that he's to the to the right of uh Curtis Leewa or Eric Adams or Andy Cuomo or any of these other people. I think this is him. I think this is who he really is. You know, we all have these low expectations of politicians. We all kind of think that they're they're all just um unprincipled. They don't really believe anything. They just, you know, they're just motivated by, I don't know, power or money or okay, some people are like that. But I they call that a realistic view of politics. I think that's actually a very unrealistic view. I think people get involved in politics because generally they believe something. they have some view of politics. And in the case of Mdani, I think he's the real deal. I think he he is who he says he is. And that's very bad for New York. I think it's it's kind of anti-American. Look, you you can see this in now throughout the ICE uh raids and deportations. So, really good news coming out of ICE. ICE uh just posted actually on social media a video of it hog tying an Antifa operative in Portland and dragging him on a dolly. This is the clip. Hold on. Where's my audio? I don't hear any audio. Did you not pull my audio? This is very upsetting to me because the audio includes you see me rolling and it's just some ICE agent dragging some punkfaced Antifa operative wearing a black hoodie and some stupid knapsack. This is good stuff. Love this. Repeal the 22nd amendment. No term limits. Emperor Trump must remain on the throne forever. This is good stuff. This is what I voted for. This is I suspect what you voted for. It's not even that they're dragon immigrants. You'd kind of feel bad if it were some nice Venezuelan peasant or even if it were a gangbanger. They'd be that look that you'd you'd feel a little happier about that. But the fact that this is an actual avowed domestic terrorist, an anarchist communist type Antifa trying to uh injure ordinary conservative Americans. You feel really good about that. This is a preview of things to come because there's a showdown that's about to happen between the federal government and the blue cities. The blue cities where these evils fester, cities like Portland, cities like Chicago. Trump has already signaled that this is going to happen and he's already demonstrated what it looks like by going into blue cities in red states. So, uh, the the admin just came out. Steven Miller, deputy White House chief of staff, came to Memphis and said, "Hey, Memphis, we are here to support you, not just with words. We're here to support you with men, with forces, with resources. We we are going to restore order to these cities, but it's not it's not going to work if you only go into the blue cities and the red states. You also have to go into the much worse places, which are the blue cities and the blue states. And in some cases, you're having the mayors and governors try to undermine federal law enforcement. There's a word for that. The word for that is insurrection. It's kind of funny because the the left tried to pretend that Granny's taking pictures in the capital on January 6th was like the worst insurrection in the history of the world. And in fact, what they are doing in in Portland, what they're doing in Chicago is as textbook a definition of insurrection as one could imagine. This showdown is happening. And the thing for conservatives to keep in mind is there's nothing uh overstepping about this. There's nothing exaggerated. There's nothing uh undue about the federal government going in and enforcing federal law when the cities and the states will not do that when the or really for the federal government going in and enforcing even local and state laws when the states and the cities fail to do that because that's what the federal government is for. The federal government is there for a purpose. That's one of the purposes. Okay? Nothing wrong about that. Time to time to rally the troops and defend. Okay, now you're seeing this play out on the cultural front as well with Mr. Bad Bunny. Not the girl from the Dr. Phil show. Cash me by that. It is a Puerto Rican cross-dressing rapper who is apparently going to play the Super Bowl. He's got a message for ordinary Americans. Uh the message is that he hates you. We told you when the left attacks we would only get louder. And on Thursday, October 16th, we are turning the volume all the way up.

My favorite comment on Friday is from Overruled again who says NFL should have hired Vanilla Ice to sing Ice Ice Baby. That is so true. That would be a great uh a great halftime show. It' be the greatest halftime show of my lifetime probably. Ice Ice Baby. And that maybe they could still do it though is the thing because the federal government has said Tom Hman said we're going to go to the to the NFL. Bad Baby is is saying that he, you know, he wants his supporters to evade Ice. Ice should show up to the Super Bowl, round up a bunch of and then out of the ice vehicle, vanilla Ice should pop out. That'd be great. Take over the NFL speakers. That would be that would be cinematic. That would be theatrical. That'd be a lot better than a little video by Tim McBride. Speaking of rebellions over immigration, Mr. Bad Bunny comes out. He's on SNL over the weekend. Here is his message to America. [Applause] And if you didn't understand what I just said, you have four months to learn. We have a great >> What are they cheering for? You heard that cheering there at the end. What are they cheering for? Bad Bunny, not Baby, Bad Bunny comes out and he says something in Spanish that most people in the audience don't understand. Then he says, "I know that you did not understand what I just said." I don't know why he sounds Cuban. I know. At least say hello to That's the only I can't do a Puerto Rican. I don't know how to do Puerto Rican accent. I know you did not understand what I just said. That's why I'm going to acknowledge it. Lucid, you got some explaining to do. And so I want to let you know that if you did not understand that you got four months to learn compre and they all applaud. I just said something that you couldn't understand. I disrespected you and I inconvenience you and I ignored the standards and norms of this country that I'm in for some reason. And screw you. You have to assimilate to my way of life. I'm not going to assimilate to yours at the new American pastime. Football at the Super Bowl, the biggest game of the year. Screw you, gringoes. And then these people, they say, "Woo! Yeah, yeah, tell me how bad I am." That's right. Yeah, disrespect my country more. I hate English, but I I can't speak any other languages. I'm just I'm awful, aren't I? That's That's it. I'm not opposed to Spanish. The Spanish language is perfectly nice. I don't speak Spanish. I But I speak other languages. I'm not opposed to speaking other I like speaking other languages. Italian. I got a little touch of French, a little touch of Latin, even a hint of Espiranto. I I can even understand a lot of Spanish. It's not It's the It's the disrespect is the problem because uh English is one of the symbols of America. And do you know why it is? Do you know why English is one? Even though we haven't had an official language for much of our country's history, we have had a national language. The national language is English. And the reason is because countries need to have anything to unify them. And a lot of countries, maybe most countries in the world have ethnicity to unify it. We don't have ethnicity. We we previously had ethn substantial degree of ethnic homogeneity. We don't have that anymore. We were told that's very bad. And so now we we're told diversity is our strength. Okay. So, take that one off the table. We previously had religion to unify us. Now, we're told we can't have a religion. We have to have a firm separation of church and state. That wasn't how America operated for most of our history. But now we're told we can't have a religion to unify us. Okay? We at the very least used to have borders. Remember that. Now, we're told we can't even have that. So, okay, what unifies us? Basically, the last thing that can unify us is our language, which is why the hardcore left-wing activists are so eager to undermine our national language. That's what this is that's what this is about. That's the subtext. And that's what the Super Bowl performance is about. That's the subtext is attacking the the notion of America as a coherent nation. They already got rid of all the other things that can make us coherent as a nation. English is one of the last ones. That's what that's about. They're cheering for undermining America. And it's a lot of people doing that. It's not most people. Trump won the popular vote, but it's a lot of people. You know me, I'm pretty hopeful. I'm not I'm neither optimistic nor pessimistic because those are just feelings that are unmed from reality. But I'm hopeful because that's a theological virtue and it is demanded of me and I and I take it to heart. I really am hopeful. But hope sees the world as it is and recognizes that things are very likely going to get much much worse before they get really much better in the end. And I look at this I say things things are I say this as hopefully as I possibly can. Things are much worse than you think they are. I know I know you maybe you didn't come here to hear that. things are much worse than you think they are. People are cheering for the uh disrespect of the American people as such. We have lunatic crossdressers running around the capital as legislators and one of the two major American political parties is explicitly endorsing the murder of the other as well as the children of members of the other political party. things are much worse than you think they are. And I mention this not to encourage anyone to do anything unjust or untoward or any certainly not encouraging that. But I I do think we need to recognize the stakes and recognize that when President Trump is going to send federal agents into these blue cities, he's doing so for a reason. when President Trump is deporting at this point probably over two million people what by July it was 1.6 6 million had been deported and uh many of whom self-epported. When President Trump uh writes executive orders clarifying national policy, restoring the older national policy on uh burning the American flag, for instance, on recognizing that certain symbols of the nation have to have a special place of reverence and veneration that that you have to do that actually. And for the squishes and the wimps and the people with their heads in the sand who want to pretend that this is just like 1998 or something and we all basically agree and we can all just kind of get along. No, this this this is unimaginable. The assassination of Charlie changes everything. It it actually didn't change all that much. It just revealed that the situation had been changed. Many of us didn't want to admit it. The fact that Jay Jones remains in the race for attorney general of Virginia and hasn't lost a single endorsement shows you that something has fundamentally changed. And we have to address that politically because if we don't address it politically, people are going to address it personally. And that's not good. That's very unjust and that's very disordered. So it has to be addressed politically and it needs to be addressed with an extraordinary amount of strength and the time to do it is now. The best time to do it is yesterday. The second best time is today. And if and I trust when President Trump responds to this increasing civil turmoil with strength and with leadership and with the fact that he has the people on his side because he won the popular vote. We need to support that. Capich? Okay. Much more to get to but that's our show. We have to get to music Monday now in the member room segmentum. The show continues now. You do not want to miss it.
