  1. “Like, they don't even see, couldn't they have started that says, my guest this week, Contra and Seneca and Bill Maher, Bill, couldn't they have started this on the next card? Don't you think that word Bill should have been started on the next card? No, I'm not trying to get anybody in trouble. You got to go. That's it. You're just leaving? Yeah, I'm just leaving.”

  3. “Some parents Danger Some parents are fucking terrible In the world No one thinks that. Apparently, that's not true. People do think that. And there is no perfect answer to this. It's as many naughty questions, the least bad answer. And the least bad answer, not the government.”

  4. “Not what you said. That it's, oh, all the studies show that, no, it is a mixed bag. That's true. Some people, yes, it's the right thing. But to take that risk at that age before you know shit about anything, yes, sometimes it's pretty obvious that it's a very hard call to make. And again, this was a very long study, very thorough, and they wouldn't release it because it came out with the wrong conclusion.”

  5. “Result of all this. And of course, that's awful, and I agree with all that, except the part about the studies. There was a very big story this year. It was in the front page in the New York Times, a woman, I forget her name, and she had done like it was a 10-year study. Did not release it on purpose because she said it would weaponize the argument from the other side. So in other words, it came out not the way you wanted the study to come out.”

  6. “The default setting, but that's a different mentality than they put in the minds of kids. And that's why this debate goes on. And the fact that you think, or a lot of people on the left, think that even if you just have this debate, it makes you a bigot. You just have to roll over. You asked about the Biden administration. That was their position. If you even question this, you're some sort of a bigot. And this is new science, and it has to do with children. And it's not going to look good in the future, that position.”

  7. “That maybe you're not in the right body. I mean, the New England Journal of Medicine advocated for taking sex off of a birth certificate, I believe. It was like your assigned sex. Assigned sex. You're assigned. I was assigned it by my dick, okay, when I was born. Yes. And again, to tell kids, it doesn't always have to be and isn't always.”

  8. “Yeah, no, okay, I'll finish this. Entrapment. Like, okay. So they go to somebody, they go to a group of guys. They did this in a group of poor black guys in Miami and were unhappy with America. And hey, wouldn't it be great if we blew up the Sears Tower in Chicago? And this guy didn't even have a gun. And it's like, yeah, I hate America or I got problems with America. That does sound kind of cool. And hey, well, we can get you the explosives. That's entrapment. You put an idea in people's heads. That wouldn't be there otherwise. Do I think in most of America they did that in schools? I don't. But I think in enough of them, in enough far left places, they did constantly have this idea in the minds of children.”

  10. “Look, there's a default setting for humans. Male and female, but there are variations. That's absolutely true. Some people are attracted, people of their own sex, and some people are actually in the quote unquote wrong body. And that does happen. The amount that they pay. Emphasize this. I compared it once on my show to entrapment.”

  11. “Pendulum swinging way too far to stupidity. Okay. Obviously sex is more complicated than just two sexes. There are people who absolutely are quote unquote in the wrong body. But when you're a kid, when even a teenager and you're that confused about everything and you have no idea and you're upset for many other reasons, the idea that they put it, let me just finish. I'm not saying it. I know. I can see you are ready. I can see you pulling back the bow. And the fact that they put this in their head too much, that's my thing. Should you tell a kid?”

  12. “And they go to their plants. They feel that, and then they blame it on the thing that has been put in their mind way too much, that it may be because of you're in the wrong body. Put it probably wrongly, but certain that we understand what that means. Okay, now it could be that case. When Trump said there's only two sexes, again,”

  13. “Well, the Democratic position in this state has been that the kid can, the school has the right to hide it from the parents. That is something that is not going to go well with the average voter. And again, I'm not even a parent and I get it. If I'm wrong, I didn't say it. I think I read that.”

  14. “I mean, they put that in every department immediately, like day one, that was the most important thing. And now you see a lot of corporations pulling back from it. I mean, like everything does go too far. I mean, a university having 200 DEI officers, a university, which is already one of the most liberal places in the world. And, you know, it's one of those jobs where You'd have to admit there was progress or else the answer is, well, maybe I shouldn't have this job anymore. And whoever does that.”

  15. “With other countries, I mean, the UK, the Nordic countries all pulled back on that as far as puberty blockers and operations for kids under 18, letting kids, children self-diagnose, keeping it from parents. All this stuff has gone on and still goes on in America. If it's something like that and you're a parent, which I am not, and I'm glad I'm not, that issue is a lot closer to home to you than Ukraine. I didn't even know where it was five years ago, and now I care more about that than this issue. I want to talk about the transition. Let's talk about it.”

  16. “Lying to themselves or persuading themselves to believe that democracy. Well, we could argue about a lot of issues there, but I'm sorry. Joe Biden, I think, never stood up to the far, far fringe of his party. From day one, he was just like too feeble, too old. These people are too mean, too powerful. I don't want to even have the fight. What was something he did?”

  17. “So there is that argument, but you know what? Do you want to win another election? Is there even going to be another election? I mean, that was my original thing about Trump when everyone was saying I was crazy. He's never going to concede in an election. I just feel like we probably have already crossed the Rubicon on this. I just don't see this crowd ever really giving up power because they really believe in their bones. And again, I could go through a lot of things that make me understand why they think that way, although I'm not with them, of course, on it. But they think that the left is so crazy and so dangerous. And some of their ideas are so aggressively anti-common sense, and they are. They think that it is their duty to preserve power, to just not ever let those people near the levers of power because it's just too crazy.”

  18. “I made that point. I said, What's about leadership? What about saying the people aren't here and it's our duty? That's what we're supposed to do is lead them to a place because the Republicans never shrink from leading people to a place where the people aren't. That never intimidates them. The people were for a public option for a very long time with the healthcare debate. And they were like, yeah, 20 points in the polls. We could flip that.”

  19. “Yeah, and don't take the bait. I mean, that's what a lot of Democrats are coming around to. I think I was talking about this on my show last Friday about wasn't it, you know, people you've probably worked with, thinking David Axelrod and somebody else like that said on USA. Oh, I know, we had on Congressman Tim Ryan. And I was quoting Axelrod in somebody else who said, you know, on USA aid, Don't make, don't, that's not a hell I'm going to die on. I think that was exactly. And I just read a list of things to Congressman Ryan, who I think is going to run for governor of Ohio saying, tell me what else is a hill you will or won't die on. That's what the Democrats, I think, should be talking about with each other.”

  20. “People that respond. In the New York Times, it's like assumed we are the good people. We are the good people who know the right answers to everything, and they are the people who are not good. Yes, that assumption and that attitude is something that very much fosters resentment. And I don't blame the people. Like I always say, you can hate Trump. You can't hate everybody who voted for him. It's half the country. But one of the things that's a lot of the reason why they do.”

  21. “So that's a good example of something that was put out there by, like you say, organizations and the fringe and college professors and people in the media. But did the Democratic Congressman from your district sign on to that? No, they did not, at least not in a bill. But, you know, they'll put up a quote from Kamala Harris at the time in 2020 that makes it look that, and people did go overboard in 2020. Okay, so that's the problem is that the Democratic politician did not make it clear to the voter, yeah, we're not for defunding the police. We think that's stupid. The police are important, and they're especially important in neighborhoods with a lot of people of color. Who did not want to defund the police?”

  22. “I think it's true, but I also think it's their obligation to squawk back at those people and they don't do it enough. To your point, which I think is correct about the mainstream democratic politician, take something like defund the police. The Republicans thought they could catch the Democrats on that, and they put it up to a vote, and I don't remember what the exact vote was or what the bill was. They didn't get any, I think they got one. Like the democratic politician did not take the bait on defund the police. And yet, the public, if you just ask the man on the street, probably thinks that a lot of democratic politicians did sign on to that.”

  23. “And I disagree with, and also just, you know, I mean, it's one thing to be have interest in another country. It's another thing to sort of be the Palestinian representative in the Congress as opposed to representing Michigan.”

  24. “I know where you're going, and I agree, mostly, which is that the democratic politician is generally not a crazy person. The crazy, you're talking about crazies. I used to say the difference between the parties is that the Republicans have found a place for their crazies. Unfortunately, that place is elected government. And it's kind of true. Like, there's no equivalent quite of Marjorie Taylor Green on the left, although there are people like Elon Omar and AOC who I don't agree with on a lot of stuff and I think are crazy on a lot of stuff and say things that are real eye rolls.”

  25. “We're going to agree that we don't like Trump. I didn't vote for him. Ask an answer. Ask an answer. But my question is that you find more difficult to answer, which is what I put to you. It's like the woke position, and it's, again, not just kids on campus. I could quote you things from like, do you know who Penn is the organization? P-E-N?”

  26. “Okay, but they've been always from 1947 on. Now, of course, you leave a deal on the table for 75 years. People do get a little tired of having the deal not taken. But traditionally, Israel has tried to make that happen for a very long time. It accepted the idea of a partition and a two-state solution, and the other side never did. And somehow the woke found themselves. They do this all the time. They're so progressive that they do things that are completely anti-progressive. Yes, let's align with the people who give women no rights because we're the liberal people. Let's align with the river to the sea. So again, I'm where it always was. Two-state solution. Other people have gone to a different place.”

  27. “From the river to the sea, that's their position. That's what they're chanting on campus. That's the woke position. And it goes a lot further than just the kids on campus. That is not the two state solution. I don't know, the Jews moved to Greenland. I'm not sure what it is, and I don't think they think it through because they're living in this world, as many people have pointed out, of oppressor and oppressed. They don't really think past that. The Jews in Israel, I mean, they talk about them like they have no standing in that country when actually they're the Indians.”

  28. “It's just about. I mean, it's like if you name so many, I could name so many issues where I will give you what the old school liberal. Which is what I mostly align with, position was, of even I can show you from back in the politically incorrect days, places where I was with somebody who would think more conservatively on certain things. I was always hard to pin down, and that's the way I like it. Everything is, I don't want to be captured ideologically, but mostly that's what I was. Let's take, we're talking about Israel. What has been the old school liberal position forever on Israel? Two-state solution. Right. That is not the position of the woke. Their position is from the river to the sea. It's not the position as far left. Excuse me”

  31. “And you can get arrested for that, or they'll take your phone. And the UK also has arrested, I think, people for just insulting, basically, or like Islamophobia. Well, you know, one person's Islamophobia is another person's just talking plainly and honestly about Islam. Can I not do that if I have any critique of Islam? I saw you roll your eyes, really. I didn't roll my eyes. Oh, okay.”

He's doing it. So they don't have a leg to stand on there. And as far as like canceling elections, I mean, that was the first I heard about Romania canceled the election. I'd have to do more research on that. But yeah, I don't think it's a great idea to cancel elections. But of course, that's what they tried to do. And he still has admitted he lost the one in 2020. Okay. But the idea... That in Germany they can knock on your door because you enter. Yes, I said it”

  40. “Like again, do I hate the idea of someone going through the government? I mean, Al Gore wanted to do it, and they didn't do it well. But of course, the way he does it, first of all, just like you said, with a sledgehammer instead of a scalpel, you can picture where they could have done it. He could have just shut up for three months while he audited it and then come out with findings. That's not the way these people work. That's the bad part of them. The instinct to do it. The instinct to like have Gaza not be what it always has been. And by the way, some of this kind of works because now you see that five different countries, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates, Egypt, they all said, okay, you know what? Trump's going to jump in and turn it into a golf course. Okay, we're working on a plan. Yeah.”

  42. “That is my biggest complaint about Trump is that he does not care about how the Americans are. How it works. In his view, it's just like they elected me. I'm the leader. I talk to other leaders. I'm the leader. Everything else is sort of just background noise, Congress or whatever. I mean, some of these things he's done, he has the Congress. He has a Republican Congress. He could do it through Congress. No, he just does it by executive order. But there's always like, you know, a seed of truth in the other side. Yes, government should be slow, but the frog and the pot analogy that we use with global warming, which I still think is true. It's the slow, I'm not sure that that isn't also the case with a government that ever grows bigger. Nothing is ever canceled. The debt, I mean, we've been talking about it since Ross Perot”

And it's, no, he just happened to think of it then. I really, I don't think he planned. I'm going to spring this after the election.
