As I told you many months ago, this presidential election is kind of a face-off between men and women.
Donald Trump has an 8% lead with male voters because men believe Trump will restore our tattered economy and draw us out of endless wars that threaten to expand into a worldwide conflagration.
Kamala Harris has a 9% lead with female voters because women want to kill their babies and they have no capacity for reason. Now, please don't think I'm totally unsympathetic with women's goals.We all want to kill their babies.
They're expensive and constantly covered with snot.
So you just have to walk into the same room with them and you're in bed for the next two weeks with some unidentifiable infection that normally only occurs in herds of wild goats living in isolated sections of Turkmenistan.
I do think that the right to vote and the capacity for reason ought to be linked in some way, maybe through a constitutional amendment requiring voters to take a reasoning test, or maybe just by telling all the women that the election's on Wednesday so they show up late.
Because there have been certain developments over these last several days that make me think that the people planning to vote for Kamala, whether they're women or men aspiring to be women, or even just men aspiring to be Tim Walz, are not thinking as clearly as maybe they ought to be.
For instance, recently, many journalists and other Democrats have made the argument that Donald Trump is a Nazi because he held a rally at New York's famous Madison Square Garden and the Nazis held a rally at the garden in 1939.
Now, if you're a man and have the capacity for reason or you're married to a man and got it that way, you might find yourself thinking, gee, that doesn't make any sense.
I mean, whenever music played at the garden, Trump danced around clumsily like a performing bear.So it was really more like the recent Taylor Swift concert there than the old Nazi rally. And I thought women loved Taylor Swift.
Who can understand these mysterious creatures?
See, men hear this nutty notion that Trump's a Nazi because he held a rally at the Garden and they think, wow, that just sounds to me like the inarticulate howl of a Democrat dinosaur sinking into the bubbling hot tar pit of his failed policies until he vanishes beneath the black surface of his misguided ideology.
Whereas apparently women hear it and they're like, ooh, bubbling hot tar.Maybe that'll be good for my complexion and then I'll be able to attract men who don't care a damn for me.
So I better vote for Kamala in case one of these bastards gets me pregnant and I have to kill the baby. I'm not saying that's word for word what they actually think.I'm just trying my best to reconstruct what's in those pretty little heads of theirs.
The complexion thing might be off, but I know the dead baby's figure in there somewhere.Anyway, here's another thing.
There was this Kamala campaign ad telling wives to lie to their husbands about who they're going to vote for because the voting booth is, quote, the one place in America where women still have a right to choose, unquote.
And at first I found that ad confusing because women have all the same rights that men have in America and lying to your husband can only lead to unhappiness.But then I realized the ad was only confusing to me because I have the capacity for reason.
Now, one way or another, the election will soon be over.
Unless it's not, and November just goes on forever with the women continually saying Trump is Hitler because he had a rally at Madison Square Garden, and the men saying, but sweetheart, that doesn't make any sense.
And the women suddenly all cackling like Kamala Harris and shrieking, yes, because we killed the babies and now we're in hell where women have the right to vote.Actually, that may just be a recurring fantasy I have.I'm not sure.
Maybe it's actually happening.Trigger warning.I'm Andrew Klavan, and this is The Andrew Klavan Show. All right, we are back laughing our way through the last few days of the Republic.

You're gonna hear things about it on this show today that you won't hear anywhere else because no one knows what's going to happen, but I'm going to talk to you from my heart and mind about things I actually do know about.
So what I say will be true, which will be a change of pace for everybody. Before I start, let me remind you, I've probably forgotten to mention this enough, that A Woman Underground, my new mystery novel, is out.
Book Reporter says, A Woman Underground reads like classic noir blended with literary fiction.The end result is a smart and savvy novel that constantly surprises.You know, I made a mistake.
I said to you, I always try to, all of the books in the Cameron Winter series have been on the USA Today bestseller list. And I thought the USA Today had discontinued the bestseller list, but I was wrong.
I checked it out, and so far, A Woman Underground has not been on it.But you know what is on it?The 1619 Project is on it twice.So, you know, as I always tell you, if you don't show up for the culture, you get the culture you deserve.
And if you don't buy my book, the country will go down the drain.The same thing is true about voting, by the way.And there are a lot of women voting early, and women are tending to vote more for Kamala, so boys.
If you are home playing video games instead of voting and complaining the Dragon Age, the Veil Guard has a two minute cutscene on how to apologize for using the wrong pronoun.
That's going to be on you if you don't get off the sofa and go in and vote.I mean it, you got to do it.Voting is the whole way this whole thing works. And you know, no respect to Dragon Age.
I'm having more fun not playing that game than I had not buying it.Also, if you leave a comment and the comment is racist and sexist like that incredibly offensive satire I did, which I disowned completely, I meant not a word of it.
But if you say awful things like that, we'll read it on the show because that's the kind of thing we do here.Today's comment is from Booneyman67.He says, Bald Gandalf, I'm absolutely livid with you.
I binge read your entire Cameron Winters series and now all the other novels I was reading feel like trash.This is an effect of reading the Cameron Winters series that he says, thanks for writing so damn well and you've ruined everything else for me.
That is my purpose. is to ruin everything I possibly can, including your relationships and personal lives and everything.So let's get to today's episode, which is called Forrest Trump.
And I will tell you why I called it Forrest Trump because no one knows who's going to win the election.This is just the truth.I feel very optimistic.I feel that Trump could win the popular vote and the electoral vote.
I hear people, I have friends who are saying, oh, he has a one in six chance or a one in three chance.They don't know either because he's sui generis.We've never seen anything like him before.We've never seen anything like this election before.
And while my feeling is optimistic, I read the polls and the polls have this on a razor's edge. people, the two candidates running neck and neck and I just don't know and nobody else knows what is going to happen.
My feeling is based on a cultural assessment that the flow of information has undermined the elites and that they are still trying to stop it.
They're doing everything they can to silence people and that only what they don't understand is that only reveals to everybody who they are.And so people are seeing them, uh, you know,
trying to censor us and putting people in jail who disagree with them and all this.They think we don't see that anymore because they're so used to being wrapped in the shawl of the media.
They don't understand that the media has totally changed and now they're exposed.While I am always right in my cultural assessments, I'm always right in my cultural assessments.Sometimes my timing is off because no one knows the future.Sometimes
I'm a year ahead of my time, five years ahead, so maybe this effect is not going to show up in this election.But still, it has given me a lot of hope.
So instead of making predictions that mean nothing, because I always hated people make these predictions.And if you get a 50-50 chance of being right, and then they're right and they think they're wizards.But no, it's just luck at this point.
Nobody knows.But I want to talk about some things that I think are going to remain true no matter who wins. And the reason I call this Forrest Trump is Forrest Gump, you may remember if you saw the movie.It's a really good movie.
I think it came out in 1994.It's based on a novel by Winston Graham, obviously won a lot of Oscars, obviously starring Tom Hanks, playing a retarded guy.He's a retarded guy, but he is a simple man.He's kind of
low intelligence, even stupid, but he was supposed to represent the soul of baby boom America.That's what he represents as it was perceived by the filmmaker.
He's simple and stupid like America, but he is, I'm telling you the thesis of the movie, but he's basically a decent person with a good heart.He has high qualities like courage and love.
And even though he's dumb, he has this kind of folksy wisdom and so on.
And all the movements and fads of the decades of the baby boom generation, whether it's jogging or creating businesses, all of them can be seen as an expression of this guy's basically good soul.And so he keeps stumbling into success.
And that's kind of the picture of America. Trump also, to my mind, represents a version of the American soul, and I think it's a more realistic version of who we are with both its flaws and its virtues.Like Trump, America is larger than life.
We're crass and we're coarse, but that also gives us the opportunity and the ability to speak blunt truths that other nations don't, and that's just like Trump. Like Trump, we elevate money and success too much.
We work too hard and we pay too much attention to people's successes.But that also makes us incredibly innovative and competitive, and has created a capitalist society that has lifted the wealth of every nation in the world who has followed suit.
The Greeks, the ancient Greeks, created almost all the philosophy that has ever been. But the ancient Romans didn't.They built amazing roads and aqueducts that still stand today.And we're more like the ancient Romans.We're road builders.
We build rockets that go to the moon.We build all kinds of things that nobody has ever built before.But we're not as cultured as the old Europeans used to be. Just like that.
And like Trump, Americans bend the rules, but we usually don't break them too badly.If Trump were an actual criminal, they would have found valid ways to indict him instead of the nonsense and crap they've drummed up to pin on him.
And if America were as criminal and racist and evil as the left has been saying we are for 60 years, we wouldn't have achieved the levels of equality and multi-ethnicity that we have that are greater than any nation has ever achieved, maybe since ancient Rome, ever on earth.
And like Trump, America has vast reserves of courage and strength and will not back down even under fire.Trump has demonstrated that to us and reminded us that that's who we are.
And like Trump, we have no class because our country belongs to the people, not to the elites.And I, you know, I always say this, I've said this from the minute I started the show. In many ways, I am an elite.
My mom was a kind of wannabe wasp who taught her kids the kind of manners and interests that make us welcome among the privileged classes.I can walk into any room in the country and get along there.
But my dad was a showbiz guy who loved his New York audience, which was made from people of every race and creed at every level of society.So, It never occurred to me that having the manners and interests of the elite may be better than anyone else.
That has actually never been part of my makeup.And the moment that I understood that Trump was the voice of the forgotten people in this country, I began to support him.
And I support him more now than I did at the beginning, and more and more every day I see him. And I wag my finger a little bit at guys like Jonah Goldberg and David French, not because they're bad people.They're not bad people.They're good people.
But in their unreasoning hatred of Trump's commonness, I think, they've forgotten that in America, unlike every other country that's ever been, elites like them and like me are here to serve the people.It's not the other way around.
So here is what I want to tell you about the election, because I think that's all we can think about.It's become obsessive.I'll be happy when it's finally over.But whether Trump wins or loses next week, I think Donald Trump has already won.
just the fact of him coming back the way he has, is a tremendous victory against the impeachments and the lies and the hoaxes and the name-calling, the things they've done to him, including shoot him in the head, he has come back to the point where he is a viable candidate.
And that's true, I think, of the rest of us, because he's reminded us of who we really are.And after 60 years of being bullied out of loving ourselves, of being ashamed of our flaws, instead of proud of our greatness,
He has reminded us that we are a great nation with our flaws and with our quirks as well.You know, we have 60 years of a leftist culture that despises and disdains the people it's supposed to entertain and serve the way it used to.
They call us deplorable, they call us irredeemable, they call us garbage now, and we've had 60 years of a puling right-wing Republican Party that trembled at their disapproval and wanted to win the favor of elites who hated them no matter what they did, which was not speaking for the country as a whole.
After 60 years of being called racist, sexist, phobic, deplorable, Nazis, garbage, Donald Trump, with all his flaws, has reminded us how great we are with all our flaws.He has schooled a new political class, led now by J.D.
Vance, that they don't have to cower in front of these low-life, pseudo-European elitists like the New York Times and the Ivy League adolescents who think they're better than the ordinary people who built their world and gave them everything they have.
Trump has shown us that we don't have to sit still for the conniving behind the scenes machinations of hateful little men like Barack Obama and for all his skill as a politician.He is a little man and so are all his minions.
We can call them out even as they call us names for doing that.
I have always been honest with you, and from the minute I saw Donald Trump was going to win his first nomination, I told you that I found it sad in some ways that we needed a man so belligerent and so audacious to spit in the eye of dirt bags like the New York Times and Hollywood.
I thought we should have been able to do this with the grace that Ronald Reagan has, but we can't anymore because it's our fault.We let the culture become the anti-American, anti-freedom hate fest that it has become.
But despite our actual sins, like legally stripping unborn children of their right to life, I feel like God has looked after us yet again, and he sent us the man we needed for this hour.
And whether he wins or loses, Donald Trump has already done what we needed him to do.
The elites on the left and right are going to try to erase him, they're going to try to shut down what he represents, and they're going to try to silence us for continuing his legacy.
But just like the church tried to stop the reformation that began 507 years ago on Halloween, we know how that turned out.You can't stop the future.You can't stop the technology that gives the people a voice.And we are going to win, win or lose.
Donald Trump, just by being who he is, has reminded us of who we are and win or lose.In our hearts and in our minds, he has made America great again. You know what the radical left doesn't want you to have?A good night's sleep.
And yes, with me, they're winning.But you don't have to toss and turn, worried about the latest crisis that they've manufactured.We need to be well-rested to fight the fight, and that's why I'm so excited to talk about Beams Dream Powder.
Also because I like it, and it helps me fall asleep.But it's also a science-backed healthy hot cocoa that will help you sleep as well.
Between late-night show prep and early morning broadcasts, getting quality sleep used to be a real challenge for me.That's still a challenge for me, but if I use Beam Dream, it does put me out.Dream Powder has been a game-changer.
Other sleep aids can cause next-day grogginess, but Dream contains a powerful, all-natural blend of reishi, magnesium, l-theanine, apigenin, and melatonin to help you fall asleep, stay asleep, and wake up refreshed.
And the best part is it tastes great.I personally love the sea salt caramel flavor.It's only 15 calories, zero sugar.It's like having dessert before bed, but it's good for you.Just max it with hot water or milk.
and you're ready for some serious rest.And right now, Beam is offering my listeners exclusive early access to their cyber sale.This is their biggest sale of the year.My listeners can shop it early before anyone else.

This week, we got a perfect example of what I'm talking about, of the way that the left reacts to half of the country, and it's really more than half of the country, and why Trump has been victorious over them.
Trump held this rally he was planning to hold at Madison Square Garden, and they really did come out.It was James Carville, I think, who introduced it, but it was obviously the talking point for the Democrats that somehow this was the same
Trump giving a rally at the famous venue, Madison Square Garden, was somehow like unto the Nazis who gathered there in 1939, a completely absurd talking point.But it was not just the press.
Tim Walz picked it up.You said over the weekend, referring to it, there's a direct parallel to a big rally that happened in the mid 1930s at Madison Square Garden.
You were comparing that rally to a Nazi rally?Look, I'm comparing it to the hate that came out of this, and I think they confirmed that.You stand by the comparison, though, to a Nazi rally?
Look, the rally you saw for yourself.I'll let the American public make the decision of what they saw.
So I know what I saw, and I'll just leave it at that.
All right.Op-eds in major newspapers, the Washington Post, MSNBC, interspersed pictures of the Nazi rally with the Trump rally.Unbelievable.That's what we expect from MSNBC, which is just NBC, right?It's the same station.But
The Washington Post had this stuff doing it, and of course, the New York Times unearthed John Kelly, former chief of staff, somehow comparing Trump to Hitler, which is also hilarious when you think about what Hitler actually did, start a war that wiped out 3% to 4% of the population of the earth.
murdered millions of his own citizens.You compare what Trump did, which was like cut taxes and regulations.It's insane.
But Kamala made her closing argument statement, a speech that was, I thought, one of her best speeches at a very, very crowded rally in Washington, D.C., in front of the White House, where in Washington, D.C., it's just all Kamala all the time.
And she ran with this idea that Trump was basically a dictator, and anyone who votes for him is therefore following a dictator.This is cut three.
And those who came before us, the patriots at Normandy and Selma, Seneca Falls and Stonewall, on farmlands and factory floors, they did not struggle, sacrifice and lay down their lives only to see us cede our fundamental freedoms.
They didn't do that, only to see us submit to the will of another petty tyrant. These United States of America, we are not a vessel for the schemes of wannabe dictators.
So petty tyrant wannabe dictators, I love by the way comparing the battle of D-Day at Normandy, one of the greatest battles in human history to Stonewall, which was a dust up at a gay bar with the NYPD.But never mind, let's put that aside.
They hold the rally, Michael Knowles was there, but aside from that, it was apparently a lovely event, very exciting, and Trump is always very charismatic.
This is the way it is covered on ABC's Good Morning America by George Stephanopoulos and Rachel Scott.There's a cut to.
It was a rally marked by profane and racist jokes. and including the opening comedian who called Puerto Rico a floating island of garbage.
That comment provoked a lot of responses, Kamala Harris, J- J- J- J- J- J- J- J- J- J- J- J- J- J- J- J- J- J- J- J- J- J- J- J- J- J- J- J- J- J- J- J- J- J- J- J- J- J- J- J- J- J- J- J- J- J- J- J- J- J- J- J- J- J- J- J- J- J- J- J- J- J- J- J- J- J- J- J- J- J- J- J- J- J- J- J- J- J- J- J- J- J- J- J- J- J- J- J- J- J- J- J- J- J- J- J- J- J-
Yeah, George, I've covered almost every single rally that Donald Trump has had this election cycle.And his rhetoric has turned increasingly dark and filled with grievances.
This rally in particular was supposed to be a homecoming for the former president.His advisors told me it's where he would start delivering his closing messages to voters.
But all of that was completely overshadowed by comments that were vulgar and at times just outright racist.
Let's remember, by the way, this is George Stephanopoulos, whose resume for being hired at ABC, his qualifications for being hired at ABC were silencing women who had at least allegedly been raped and harassed by Bill Clinton.That was his resume.
What did you do?Well, I silenced women who were allegedly assaulted by Bill Clinton.Oh, good, you're hired.You can be one of our top anchorman. And so they have to do this because they've already said it's a Hitler rally.
It's like nothing else they've ever seen, but it was actually a typical rally.And all they could really come up with was this joke by insult comedian, Tony Hinchcliffe, who did a pre-show warmup.This is cut four.
There's a lot going on.Like, I don't know if you guys know this, but there's literally a floating island of garbage in the middle of the ocean right now.Yeah.I think it's called Puerto Rico. Okay, all right.Okay, we're getting there.
So it'll be a bad joke and people reacted to it as like a bad joke.
But Jon Stewart, who Jon Stewart, by the way, who failed to defend his friends at South Park when they got censored for an anti-Muslim joke, even though they were allowed to do anti-Jesus jokes, he actually stood up.
And that was because they were all at Comedy Central.And Stewart said he didn't want to bite the hand that fed him.But but Stewart said that Hinchcliffe was doing his thing.And this is cut fine.
Now, obviously, in retrospect, having a roast comedian come to a political rally a week before election day and roasting a key voting demographic, probably not the best decision by the campaign politically.
But to be fair, the guy's really just doing what he does.I mean, bringing him to a rally and have him not do roast jokes, that'd be like bringing Beyonce to a rally and not have... Oh.
They made a huge deal out of this, out of this one joke.And they had to, because they had to make it look like this was a hateful rally.
And then Joe Biden, in what was supposed to be a supportive phone call, Joe Biden, you may remember him, he's the President of the United States, even though he doesn't know where he's the President of the United States.
And nobody knows who the President of the United States actually is, but he is apparently the putative President of the United States.He makes a supportive phone call for Kamala from the White House.
And this is what he said about the Hinchcliffe joke, cut six.
And just the other day, a speaker at his rally called Puerto Rico a floating island of garbage.Well, let me tell you something.I don't know the Puerto Rican that I know or Puerto Rico where I'm in my home state of Delaware.
They're good, decent, honorable people. The only garbage I see floating out there is his supporters.
So Biden says that the Trump supporters are garbage.A guy on X named AC Rothstein compared this to Leroy Jenkins, which made me laugh so hard.I actually tried to explain to my wife what the joke about Leroy Jenkins is and one of the many reasons.
I adore my wife is because she's way too elegant to ever understand the Leroy Jenkins joke.
But he called supporters garbage, then tried to walk it back, put out a tweet saying that's not what he meant, issued a fake transcript, moving the apostrophe around to make it look like he was saying something else.
And the news media chipped in and commentators chipped in, spokesman chipped in, to sort of defend him from what he was saying.Here's Andrew Yang, who pretends to be an independent, but he's a Kamala supporter, cut eight.
I don't think many voters buy that Joe Biden is actually referring to half the country as garbage.People know that Joe Biden is an 81-year-old who tends to garble a message, and that's why he's not the nominee anymore.That's polite.
But the Republican Party is grasping at it because they want to turn the page on the rhetoric that offended Puerto Ricans, and there happened to be 450,000 Puerto Ricans in Pennsylvania.
And so that this is purely a political device, I don't think it sticks because everyone knows who Joe is and what this was.
So here's the problem.First of all, Puerto Rico has a garbage problem.They probably got the joke more than the people at the garden.But the real problem is this.Nobody who thinks about it really thinks that Donald Trump hates Puerto Ricans.
Donald Trump is kind of an old fashioned guy who just says exactly what he thinks.He's a New Yorker.New Yorkers are all the same.We all make jokes about one another, but we all live together.I was a New Yorker for many, many years.
You know, you make jokes because friends make jokes about one another, but that is not really, you know, expressive of hatred, even though the left seizes on them.The left can make any joke it wants about anybody and nobody says a word about it.
But on the right, if you make a joke, they pretend to take it seriously.No one thinks that, but everyone knows. Everyone knows the left hates Americans who disagree with them.They're irredeemables.They're deplorables.They're racist, sexist.
They're homophobic.They're Islamophobic.They're every kind of phobic there is.Nothing they say is right.Their religion stinks.Their patriotism is overblown.They're Christians, which is disgusting.We've heard this literally for 60 years.
And only in election time do we start to get this kind of patriotic verbiage that comes out.Just the fact that Obama, after he got elected, said, I'm going to fundamentally transform this country.And he's gone a long way toward trying to do it.
All that happened was Joe Biden spoke plainly because he has dementia.That is exactly what happened.And Trump grabs hold of it.He's on a plane.His team gets him a garbage truck with a Trump sign on it.And the press is now in great Trumpian fashion.
He forces the press to cover him.And he drives up in this truck.This is cut nine.
How do you like my garbage truck?This truck is in honor of Kamala and Joe Biden.
And then he shows up at his rally in an orange vest that the drivers wear.He says he didn't want to wear it, but his team told him they'd look thinner, and he fell for it.That's a very funny routine about how hard it was to get up on the truck.
And you probably heard the routine he did.It was very funny.But that's not the part I want to play.I want to play something he said that was actually much more important, which is cut 10.
This week, Kamala has been comparing her political opponents to the most evil mass murderers in history.And now, speaking on a call for her campaign last night, crooked Joe Biden finally said what he and Kamala really think of our supporters.
He called them garbage.No way.
And they actually mean it, even though, without question, My supporters are far higher quality than Crooked Joe or Lion Kamala.Higher quality.Higher quality.My response to Joe and Kamala is very simple.
You can't lead America if you don't love Americans.That's true.
Now, that line to me is incredibly resonant and should be resonant to the people I was talking about before, the Jonah Goldbergs and the David Frenches who just hate Trump so much they have lost the plot of who this country is for and what it was built for.
You can't lead America if you don't love Americans.I have said this before, that you can't believe in freedom if you don't believe in the people, because it's the people who are supposed to be free.
It's not just the Ivy Leaguers who write for the New York Times who are supposed to be free.It is the people who think things...
Opposed to the people who are at the new york times and one of the things this problem i know a lot of liberals i talk to a lot of liberals and they have so.
Polluted the language and the culture with their ideas that they now believe that their ideas of the truth so for instance if i use a word like a cripple to describe somebody in a wheelchair they think i'm being cruel.
I don't believe that using words like disabled or upwardly mobile, you know, challenge.I don't believe that that's a kindness.I believe that being crippled is a painful thing, and the word should sound like what it is.I'm not insulting anybody.
Anybody, of course, can be crippled. But if being crippled wasn't bad, Jesus wouldn't have healed cripples, right?I mean, it's a worse thing.It's a painful thing.
Life is filled with painful things and they don't go away because we call being retarded, being something else, being special.It doesn't make it go away.And I think that lying, it's lying, it's lying.And so I don't believe in lying.
I believe in speaking the truth and I don't believe it's cruel to speak the truth if you speak it with love, which I believe we should also do.That's why Biden's gaff stuck because it's true.It reveals them.It's what they really think.
It's why they lie about who they are.And only after they've won office, do they say we're going to fundamentally transform the freest, most powerful, most successful nation that has ever existed.Why would you want to fundamentally transform that?
Because they hate it.They do hate it.And it's like, you know, it's not, it's not, all the Democrats don't think that it's obviously not.
It's just this elite class and the fact that they have failed and their ideas have failed and they deserve to be removed from power and they deserve to be ignored.That's the thing that they can't stop.
And it's why they have poured so much energy into trying to shut us up. You got to prioritize your health.Take it from me.You do not live this long and look this beautiful if you don't.And you got to know where to start.
And that's why I'm excited to introduce Lumen.Lumen is the world's first handheld metabolic coach.It's a device that measures your metabolism through your breath.All you have to do is
breathe into your lumen first thing in the morning to know what's going on with your metabolism, meaning whether you're burning mostly fats or carbs.

Now, I've told this story before and I'll only tell it briefly now, but the way that I got into commentating when I was just a novelist and a screenwriter is Roger Simon, who was also a screenwriter and a novelist,
I would bump into him in Hollywood from time to time and he would say, we're starting this new project called PJTV and I want you to be part of it.And it was a conservative commentary thing.
And it was kind of the Daily Wire before there was the Daily Wire.And I was like, I don't want to be in front of a camera.I'm a writer.I like my privacy.I like kind of being the invisible man.
And I keep bumping into Roger and Roger would keep bugging me about it.And he would finally said to me, just go on and watch.
And I went on and watched, and there was Bill Whittle, and I thought, wow, that guy could be a network anchorman if he weren't telling the truth, you know?
The only thing keeping that guy off the networks, because he was such a talented broadcaster, I thought the only thing keeping that guy off the networks is the fact that he's speaking the truth.
And so I called Roger and I said, listen, I would work in a place with a guy of that level talent, but what I would want to do is I would want to do Bill Whittle, but as Monty Python.
And Roger was like, sure, you know, we're just throwing things at the wall to see if they stick.So I went in and did what I thought was a kind of clever video about the fact that everything the left says can be translated into shut up.
They never make an argument.They only try to stop the argument that takes theirs apart.That's all they ever do. because they don't have an argument.Everything they have done since 1965 has made life worse for Americans, and that's just the truth.
And so when you say your policies, your welfare, all these things have actually made life worse for the people you said you were trying to help, all they can say is you're racist, you're sexist, you're this, you're that.
Shut up would all translates into shut up.
So here is just a little clip I don't like to play my old clips, but here I found this almost everything on PJ TV has been scrubbed I don't know why exactly but this I found that somebody else put it up This is just a little clip of my first video that I did for PJ TV called shut up this cut 11 the left here has been making the shut up argument at least since the 70s when it became clear that all their other arguments had failed and
Since it was the only argument remaining to them, they had to invent different ways to say it. If you pointed out that their weakness allowed the murderous tyranny of communism to expand, for instance, well, you were a McCarthyite.Shut up.
If you proved that their leniency toward criminals turned our cities into cesspools, you were a fascist.Shut up.
When you pointed out that their welfare policies destroyed black families and created a social disaster of vast proportions, you were a racist, a sexist, uncivil, worse than Hitler.All just different ways of saying, shut up.
So things haven't changed very much.I was so much more beautiful.It makes me weep to just see what a beautiful person I was.I'm also wearing, I think, the same shirt.I should probably put it in the laundry.
But anyway, this week, Ben Shapiro, Tucker Carlson, Elon Musk, and many other conservative commentators, including me, got an email from Niko Grant at the New York Times. It was basically a mafia email.It was like a nice commentator.
Nice commentary you've got there.Shame if anything should happen to it.I'll just read a little bit.
It says, I want to give Andrew Klavan an opportunity to comment for an upcoming article that takes a look at how political commentators have discussed the upcoming election on YouTube.If there is a better email address.
We rely on data compiled by researchers at Media Matters for America, which we have independently verified.Media Matters identified 286 YouTube videos from 30 channels between May and August that contained election.
Now, you all know Media Matters is a left-wing hit site.It was started by David Brock, a left-wing hitman.It's got funding from George Soros.I think over a million dollars came from George Soros.
David Brock, if you don't know, his ex-boyfriend ran Comet pizza.
And Cheryl Atkinson, the CBS investigative reporter who was basically forced out of CBS for doing the same kinds of stories on Barack Obama that she had done on George W. Bush, exposing bad things that those two administrations had done.
So she was forced out because they were protecting Obama.That was shutting her up.
She wrote a book, I think it was called Smear, where she suggested that Pizzagate, the idea that Hillary Clinton was running, it was an elaborate, silly idea, was Hillary Clinton was
funneling children for pedophilia through this pizza place, which was absurd.But it caught on among crazy people on the right and somebody finally went in and shot up the pizza place.
And that's when Obama started making speeches saying we've got to censor the Internet because just it's Wild West.Anybody can say it's almost like people have the First Amendment right to free speech.
Anybody can say and that was when he made his move, which has continued a long way.
There's an article in City Journal talking about the systems he has set up within Homeland Security that Obama set up that have been used to try and cancel people who say things that Barack Obama and his ilk don't like.So this is part of that, okay?
And what Sheryl Atkinson suggests, she can't prove it, but what she suggests is that Barack essentially invented the Pizzagate scandal knowing the right would pick it up and then going to use that as an excuse. to silence the right.
So that's who they're using as their source, Media Matters.And what's my crime?This is what the letter from Niko Grant says.Mr. Klavan, parodied President Biden in a video while falsely claiming he sought unlawful votes.
And then they quote me saying, having, imitating Joe Biden, pretending that Joe Biden is speaking in one of my opening satires, we had to change all the voting rules and let illegal immigrants and small animals and even some insects in before I could win.
This is my great crime.Now, the point of this
And then they ran the piece, they ran a story, election falsehoods take off on YouTube as it looks the other way, essentially pressuring YouTube as they are also pressuring Facebook to take us off the air if we should challenge the election results.
And I'm speaking as somebody who gets a lot of flack from the audience for not challenging the election results.
I thought the election was unfair in the sense that the media silenced things like the Hunter Biden laptop story with the help of the government and the help of the FBI and the help of former CIA agents.
I thought that was tremendously unfair, but I have never bought into the story.At least I've never been convinced that we have proof that the election was stolen in the way that people were claiming. It was, so I was never part of that.
But still, I believe people should be allowed to say all these things.And I want to remind the people at YouTube and Facebook, if anyone is listening, I want to remind them that you guys are now very, very powerful guardians of the First Amendment.
You're not guardians of people's opinions.You're guardians of the First Amendment because the First Amendment is just a piece of paper unless the culture supports it.And that is an incredibly important thing, right?
And remember, you, YouTube, Facebook, you censored people who called out the lies of Anthony Fauci and they were right and you were wrong.You censored people who objected to children having their bodies altered
irrevocably over a transgender idea that has no science behind it whatsoever.
And because of that, because that was allowed to people who objected to that were kept back, it took us a while before we could stop children being butchered in ways that would have put Joseph Mengele, the evil Nazi doctor, to shame.
You know, there's an ad for Kamala Harris that I referenced in my opening satire where they tell wives to lie to their husbands about who they vote for.It's only 30 seconds.Let's play that 16.
Your turn, honey.In the one place in America where women still have a right to choose, you can vote any way you want, and no one will ever know.Did you make the right choice?
Remember, what happens in the booth stays in the booth.
people in power that people that George Clooney, a movie star, wants in power over your loyalty to your spouse and your friends and their opinions don't count as much as the opinions of movie stars and Kamala Harris's campaign staff.
The thing is, you know, George Clooney, this is you're in America now.You're not in Italy anymore in your mansion.This is how we do things here.
And here we listen to our friends and our spouses more than we listen to people on television, rich people on television and, you know, politicians.
And I just want to say to Facebook and YouTube, you know, that I know you're under this tremendous pressure.I know, for instance, YouTube is run by Google and I know you're all very liberal people over at Google.
And I know you're under scrutiny from the government for being a monopoly and maybe you think you can buy your way out.But I want to remind you also that Twitter was the one who did a lot of the centering, kicking Trump and the New York Post off
Twitter, and now there is no Twitter.So, you know, whether you censor us or not, Donald Trump may win and then you're going to have to face the guy that you were trying to stop.
And really, as Americans, truly, truly, your job should be to maintain free speech.Nobody wants to lie and nobody wants to accuse people of things they didn't do.But still, still in politics, let me let me put it to you this way.
There are people on the right who I believe have been reckless in accusing people of cheating.I think that's true.But who do you think is going to find out?We know that people are corrupt, everybody.
I'm not singling out the left or the right, but everybody's corrupt.Everybody tries to cheat.Not every person, but all sides do that. Who is more likely to protect the integrity of our elections?
Paranoids who go too far in criticizing people or big government authorities who don't want to say what's going on in an election?I mean, we need the people to speak.We don't really need to hear Kamala Harris's opinion.
We don't need to hear Donald Trump's opinion.We need to hear the people who the New York Times and other big venues want to make shut up.I do not think that YouTube, Facebook and any other
Social media should participate in the shut-uppery that has been the left's strategy since all their policies failed.
The radical left's stance on abortion has reached alarming levels, from supporting free abortions to even advocating for infanticide.We're witnessing an unprecedented assault on the sanctity of life.This isn't just politics, it's a moral crisis.
But there is hope.Preborn, the nation's largest pro-life organization, is fighting back.They're strategically positioned in high abortion areas, offering a lifeline to women and their unborn children.
When you join forces with Preborn, you are protecting the greatest victims in our society, babies. in their mother's womb.Over 300,000 babies have been saved through preborn's efforts.

They do it again and again and again.Kamala Harris is doing it right now.After calling us Nazis, Kamala said in her closing argument speech, this is what she said about free speech, cut 12.
Unlike Donald Trump, I don't believe people who disagree with me are the enemy. He wants to put them in jail.I'll give them a seat at the table.
Now, while she's saying this, Steve Bannon, her opponent, who they put in jail, was released from prison.
Now, Bannon was in jail for ignoring a congressional subpoena, something which Merrick Babyface Garland has done, which Eric Holder, Obama's AG before him and also wingman, has done. You know, he was a political prisoner.
There was absolutely no question about it.And the thing about Steve, Steve has a an interesting personality.I guess he's what I'm trying to think of the word.He's got a, you know, up and down personality.He's alienated a lot of people.
But I always got along with him.I knew him in Hollywood.He came to Hollywood to make movies and then anybody comes to Hollywood and makes movies, contacts the people they think are the best screenwriters.He contacted me.We became pals.
We weren't close friends, but we became pals.We always say hello to each other when we bump into each other.And I've never had anything but a good experience with Steve.But I know people that I trust who says he's alienated them in various ways.
However, however, Whatever you think about him, he was a political prisoner for his opinions.You do not put people in prison for ignoring a congressional subpoena unless you are trying to punish them for what they believe.
So he came out, and I wanted to visit him, and I asked a mutual friend if I could visit him.And Bannon had said that he didn't want anybody to visit him.He didn't want anybody to write to him.
He wanted people to just pay attention and fight for the election. And I took that on board.I, you know, I believed it, but I'm really glad he's back.I welcome him back.
And he came out and he gave a really interesting press conference because he'd just been in, he was in Danbury and he was just in Danbury prison with, he said, minority men, you know, he was talking to blacks and Puerto Ricans and all kinds of people who were in prison.
And he said it was empowering and it was instructive.And this is what he told the press who were trying to, you know, make the story about this comedian at Madison Square Garden who's cut 13.
The system is not only broken, the system is rigged against the working class of this nation.
And I saw at Danbury that we're going to move past the politics of race with an intermediate stop in the politics of gender, which is being forced on everybody right now.We're going to get to what is important, and that's the politics of money.
And once we get to the politics of money, there's going to be some fundamental changes in this country.
Now that's an interesting point of view.I'm not sure, you know, I listened to Bannon's ideas and I frequently disagree and half agree.And I kind of half agree with that.I'm not sure that money is as much the issue as class.
I think that there is this class difference in America of people who consider themselves elites in the old European style.I think Barack Obama is one of them.He doesn't come from an elite background, but that's the thing about America.
You can rise into the elite, but he certainly is a Ivy leaguer, you know, who thinks that he has ideas that are better than the ideas he hates. He's very open, really, about it, about thinking America is the problem.
You don't fundamentally transform something you love.You don't marry a woman and say, oh, honey, now that we're married, I want to fundamentally transform you.You marry her because you love what she is.
And I think that this is the way that all the people at The New York Times, these people have, you know, so many of them are children who are of the wealthy,
who have been to Ivy League schools, who know nothing about what it means to be a working person, who completely don't know anything about what it means to really face bigotry.
Because if you have ever lived outside this country, as I have, you know that America is the least bigoted country on earth.We all have tribalness inside us, just like we all have lusts and grees and all sorts of things.
And it really doesn't matter what you feel inside.It matters how you behave and how you treat other people and your motivations don't matter.
But I think that Steve is right about one thing, is this politics of race, and the politics of gender, and all the politics that they've been throwing at us, that they have now convinced themselves is true.
They've convinced themselves that Donald Trump, who's just a loud mouth New Yorker, who sort of represents that part of America that says what's on its mind, even when it's untoward, and even when it's not polite.
They've convinced themselves that this is the heart of darkness.
And the reason this serves them is because it turns the working class and the underclass and the class of people like me who believe in the people more than I believe in the elites, it turns us against one another.It makes us apologetic.
It makes us afraid to speak our mind. It makes a white guy afraid to turn to a black guy and say, hey, you know, I got some problems with the way black people live.
And black people makes a black guy maybe a little bit too aggressive in saying, you know, you whites are this way.You know, we all feel this way about each other.We all hate each other.That's why we're here.
We're here to hate each other and throw insults at each other, but hopefully with a sense of humor so that we don't take it too seriously and we get it off our chest. But instead, instead, they want to turn us against each other.
And I've said this a million times, because I don't believe that most people who vote for for Democrat candidates are as bad as the candidates.I think that's why they run in the center.They run in the center because most Democrats are more centrist.
And with most Democrats, we could sit down and have a conversation and reach some kind of agreement.
where both of us were a little bit unhappy and both of us got a little bit of what we want but you can't because of this radical left contingent which now runs the democrat party and nothing that donald trump says is radical people can't think it is because the way he says it is radical but nothing he really says he's very centrist he's really further to the left than i am so all i want i want to say is basically what steve bannon
Is saying is that a new day is coming and I think he's right about this and I'll let me let me talk about that in the final chapter
Okay, here's a product I used just the other day because I love being able to enjoy a glass of white wine with friends and not have to worry about how I'm going to feel the next morning.So I used pre-alcohol by Z Biotics.
Here's what makes it special.Z Biotics pre-alcohol probiotic drink is the world's first genetically engineered probiotic.It was invented by PhD scientists to tackle rough mornings after drinking. The science behind it is actually kind of interesting.
When you drink alcohol, it gets converted into a toxic by-product in the gut.And contrary to what most people think, it's this by-product, not dehydration, that's to blame for your rough next day.That's where pre-alcohol comes in.
It produces an enzyme to break this by-product down. Every time I have pre-alcohol before drinks, I notice a difference the next day.I don't drink heavily.You don't have to drink heavily to make you feel a little bit bad in the morning.
But after a late night of dinner plans, I can confidently plan on feeling on top of my game the next morning without worry.Just remember to make Z Biotics your first drink of the night.Drink responsibly, and you'll feel your best tomorrow.

I've been saying for a long time and telling you for a long time that we've come to the end of something and part of it is just generational.My generation is passing on.I'm not going anywhere.
I will be with you for all time, but you know, my generation is passing on and new generations are coming in and this new technology of the internet and all this communication is changing everything. far, far more than people understand.
I really do believe it's really fascinating to talk.Sometimes when you talk to conservatives, it really makes me crazy because they do not see the future coming.They do not think about the culture in the right way.
They think that if we can just get the culture to go back to where it was, but the culture never does that. It's always moving forward.It's going to move forward with new technologies.
And if we can, you know, I, I, I scold YouTube and Facebook because they're run by leftists, but you know, it's up to right wingers to start to create things like that and not to create the old things, not to create Hollywood.Hollywood is over.
It's time to create the new things that are going to come along and be the new entertainment venues and the new technological venues.And that's on us.I mean, it's just, We just do not pay attention to it.But this is the end of something.
It's the end of two things.And I wanted to tell you what those two things are.One is the Democrat Party and one is the Republican Party.The Democrat Party is finished.The efforts that all of the efforts that Barack
Obama, who's kind of the secret dean of the Democrat Party, in my opinion.All of the things that he's put in place are to silence people, to make sure there's only one party.He wants Puerto Rico and, you know, and D.C.
to become states so they'll have a permanent majority.He wants to silence everybody.He wants to have this misinformation, hate speech silence.I just don't think that didn't work for the Vatican when they were trying to stave off the Reformation.
I don't think it's going to work for the New York Times, which is today's Vatican against the reformation that has come about because of the internet.I just think that is over.I think people are getting sick of it.
I think already the woke tide is turning back and I think a lot of tides are going to turn back and all they have left is force and silence, force and silence.
And I'm sorry, but that just usually does not work in America and it doesn't work in the left. And the other thing that's over is the Republican Party.The Republican Party has already gone.
And one of the reasons people hate Trump is because they kind of like the comfortable Republican Party of George W. Bush and his father, George Bush, got, you know, kind of apologizing for their conservatism.
I'm going to be a kinder, gentler conservatism.I'm going to be compassionate conservatism, which really was not necessary.We didn't really need compassion from a system which made us the richest, most powerful, freest country on earth.
We didn't really need to bring that compassion in there.They were just kind of reacting to the press.They were apologizing to these people who hate us, who think we're garbage, who think we're deplorable.We've got to stop.
We've got to really imitate Trump in this.We don't necessarily have to imitate him in everything, but we should imitate him in fearlessness, in talking back to these people and telling them
They are the ones who are in the wrong and so that is right certainly that you know we're gonna start to talk about your money more and why why does my money belong to the government why whenever i hear the government say we are investing in this for investing in that i think why are you investing my money you didn't create that money i created that money i created that well why are you investing it.
You know, there was a really interesting letter from Jeff Bezos.You probably heard about it.Bezos, the Washington Post, the L.A.Times, and USA Today have all refused to endorse Kamala Harris.
And I think the reason for this is it's quite clear she's not up to the job of being president, no matter whether she wins or not.She has obviously She's obviously a very dopey person who doesn't really have a theory of anything.
I have a lot of friends who think she's drinking or on drugs.I don't know anything about that, but she certainly, when she talks, she talks like that.She talks absolutely, the stuff that comes out of her mouth makes no sense.
She can't think on her feet.She's in no way capable of understanding the complex, and very, very dangerous international situation that we're in.
And so, you know, I think that the reason that the papers don't want to be attached to her is if she wins, they don't want to say, oh yeah, and we endorsed her.They don't want to be stuck with that.But
Jeff Bezos, who started Amazon, and God bless him for that, he may get into heaven for that, I'm not sure, but Amazon is a wonderful site, I love what they do.But more than 200,000 people cancelled their digital subscriptions to the Washington Post
after they said they weren't going to endorse because once you become a left-wing rag, as WAPO has, WAPO is virtually a spokesperson for the CIA at this point, the New York Times, same thing.These are left-wing rags.
Once you become that, all the right-wingers stop reading you.And when you then say, gee, we want to attack to the center because we've lost the people's trust, all of those people dump you.I mean, it's the same thing as audience capture.
We have the problem on the right too, where if I say something to you that's true, but you don't want to hear it, I lose audience too.It's very difficult.
If you want to bring the truth to people, you have to be able to brave the people who don't want to hear the truth.Jeff Bezos wrote a letter saying that basically newspapers had lost the trust of the people.
He said, we must be accurate and we must be believed to be accurate.It's a bitter pill to swallow, but we are failing on the second requirement.
Now I think they're failing on the first requirement, not because what they say is inaccurate, but because of the things that they don't say that cause what they say to be inaccurate.They do not report on the foibles of the left.
They cover Watergate, but they don't cover the rapes and malfeasance that took place in the Kennedy administration.They have been doing this for a long time, but it's just gotten worse and worse.
Bezos tells the people most people believe the media is biased.Anyone who doesn't see this is paying scant attention to reality, and those who fight reality lose.Reality is an undefeated champion.And the thing is, the press is losing.
He's understanding, and billionaires do have this thing about reality, because that is one of the ways you become a rich person and run a place like Amazon that works as well as it does.
You know, the media is losing its credibility, has lost its credibility with everyone except the people who agree with them, which is basically Democrats.So they've lost the credibility.They are now below Congress in trust, which is amazing.
And the reason is because they lie. And they lie by what they don't say.They lie by what they do say.They lie by who they silence.They lie by who they hate.You know, I wrote an editorial for the LA Times.It was kind of a snarky editorial.
I wish it had been written more seriously, but many, many years ago, it's got to be 20 years ago. where I said to the press, you want to get credibility back, hire some conservatives.We have to start talking about the things that everybody believes.
We have to stop censoring, looking for reasons to censor.We have to stop using terms like hate speech and misinformation for things that are simply opinions.We have to start talking fearlessly.
We have to start being more like Donald Trump and talking without being afraid of what we're going to be called.We don't need to hate one another.We really don't.I mean, the people in this country are not garbage, left or right.They really aren't.
It's the elites.The garbage floats to the top, and that's what's happened in this country.But we can't let the powerful hold on to power by making us hate one another. Everything made by mortal man dies.Every country eventually dies.
One day America will die.But this is not that day.We have to be reminded, and we have to let Donald Trump remind us, that for all our flaws, and we are so many, and we are so free, that we have so many flaws, and we let our flaws hang out.
For all of that, we are still the last best hope of humankind, because we have remembered who humankind is.
It's all of us, and we deserve to be free, and we deserve to speak, and we deserve to have our opinions, even when they're ugly, or even when they're deemed ugly by the people in their palaces.Donald Trump has reminded us of this.
We cannot forget it, no matter what happens on Tuesday.And if we remember, then no matter what happens on Tuesday, we will win.

I love that guy.He's hilarious.All right.The first clapback is from Easton.He says, Greetings, oh wise one.I'm 24, married to my high school sweetheart, and we just welcomed our first child into our lives.Well, congratulations, Easton.Big, big deal.
And it really is a beautiful, beautiful thing.It is the one thing in life. that means anything as you get older.He says, your wisdom has had a profound impact on my worldview, both in realms political and religious.
For that, I cannot thank you enough.I write to you through the sleep deprived hours of new parenthood with my precious daughter resting in my arms.
I think it's deeply important to be able to disagree with one another and still get along, but abortion has become my sticking point.My question is this, how do I maintain my feelings towards people I love in the face of this key issue of our time?
I don't want to perceive my friends and family as murder apologists and evil people.But on this, in this moment, I'm struggling.Thank you.And God bless you, Easton.
You know, I, I understand, especially with your new daughter being born, I understand why you feel this way.And it is for me as well.It is a very, very difficult issue because there's, there's no logical defense of it there.I'm sorry.
You know, there may be exceptions.That's how they always argue, you know, What if you've been raped by your uncle and you're seven and you're, you know, but somehow you got pregnant, you know, that's what they come up with.
That's not what most abortions are.Most abortions are abortions of convenience and carelessness.Almost all of them really.I mean, uh, statistically, and there's no excuse.There's no excuse.
And so how do you live with people you love who, who believe that this is okay? And the answer, you know, I know I've used this example too much, but it's just true.
I use the example of George Washington, a hero of liberty who could not understand how wrong slavery is for most of his life.Toward the end of his life, he began to get it, but it took him a long time.That's the power of the culture.
That's the power of what's called the social imaginary.That is the reason that I fight so hard
not just for my books, obviously I have a personal interest in my books, but for the culture in general, because it sets a tone that lasts for years and years.
And when I look at, when I look at the bestseller list and my book's not on it, but the 1619 project is, I know what conservatives don't know is 20 years from now, they're going to be whining at whoever is left because I won't be here.
They're going to be whining. Why did this happen?They must have stolen this because, no, no, they stole it now.It's being stolen now.It's not a steal.It's simply working the culture so that people's minds change without their knowing it.
People who are in favor of this Unforgivable practice are not themselves unforgivable because they have been made blind by the social imaginary.You know, I get this letter all the time.How do I convince people of this?
How do I convince people of that?How do I get people to stop doing this?How do I get them to start doing this?And the answer is 99% of the time you can't.
Really, really, almost always, almost, not all the time, but almost always, the only thing you can do with people is love them.And I know there are some people who are dangerous and you have to stay away from them.
And there are some people who are driving their car into a wall and you have to at least shout, look out.But most of the time, most of the time, at least 95% of the time, you just got to love people and let them find their way.
we all are lost we all are blind we all are uncertain even the people who think they're certain are the most uncertain of all because they think they know what they don't know remember socrates was the wisest man in athens because he knew that he knew nothing and so you always have to remember that people all of us know nothing and the wisest man is the person who knows
And with that, you look at your friends and you realize that they've been swept away on a social imaginary.There's no defense of abortion that makes sense.It's simply not a logical thing to defend it.
But still, they've been swept away on a social imaginary that lives like a cloud in their brain.And I'm sure we have our blind spots that live in a cloud in our brain as well. But obviously this is a big one and you just have to love them.
And maybe the best thing I can say to you is maybe it is practice on loving something that's unlovable because you really, you must, you must do it because it is the only answer.
You fight for what's right with the people who have the power to change what's right with the people who are simply affected by it.You just have to love them.I know it's tough as hell.
