SHOW NOTES: They, Them, and You; Feminine Pee Squatters; Leaks; and Fries
Good Morning! Someone from inside the Biden-Harris Administration has leaked classified national security and intelligence information related to Israel’s planned strike on Iran to the Iranians.

🚨 New News. Trump is leading Harris in the Nate Silver model and has opened up his lead in the RealClearPolitics Battleground State polling average. Likewise, DecisionDesk HQ, for the first time, has the odds of Trump winning passing Kamala Harris.
Not Happening. Biden will not be campaigning with Harris. The last time an incumbent Vice President refused to campaign with the boss, Al Gore lost to George W. Bush.
Fries, Vibes, and Steelers. Kamala Harris and Donald Trump were on the campaign trail over the weekend. Trump worked at a McDonalds and went to a Steelers game. Harris tried rallying the faithful with celebrities. Democrats keep bringing in big celebrity names to get people interesting and Trump keeps going where the people already are.
Trump comes across like he enjoyed it. Compare this to the awkward Tim Walz pheasant hunt where it came across as inauthentic and really staged. This was staged too, but Trump saying how much he loves salt and throwing it over his shoulder, etc. were pure hilarious funny and likeable moments.
Meanwhile, Harris has gone super negative because her polling has plateaued and she’s trying to hold Trump back. That’s not my opinion. That is the data and it is a terrible warning sign for the end of her campaign and her closing message.
Kamala Harris Admits She’s Super Progressive on Crime. This was a pretty dumb thing for Harris to do. She winds up agreeing with Al Sharpton that she is super progressive and soft on crime. Sharpton just sets her up on this and she does not push it back. I realize she is in “rally the base” mode, but it was dumb to sit for something like this.

She’s For They/Them. He’s For You.
I want to run for you one of the Trump campaign’s closing ads in swing states. If you are not in a swing state, you will not see this ad. But if you are, you will see it a lot.
This ad will work. Culturally, black and Hispanic voters are not down with the trans agenda. The media’s mainstreaming of mental illness and the neuroses of the left is alienating the upper echolons of the elite from everyone else. You will be unsurprised to learn that NPR is upset with this ad. In North Carolina, local NPR Affiliate WFAE is upset Democrats are not pushing back. And here’s the thing — they can’t. If they do, they’ll draw more attention to the ad and the ad resonates with moms and minorities.
Feminine Pee Squatters
The ad above and the Harris campaign overall show the problem Democrats have. They have spent a number of years railing against men under the rubric of “toxic masculinity,” which morphed into dudes being dudes is bad.
They’ve made “man-spreading” and “man-splaining” a thing.
They’ve argued that men can have periods and man can get pregnant and if you refuse to believe those lies, you are a bigot. They have elevated men becoming women and given those men awards. They’ve turned a blind eye to the consequences of putting boys and men into women’s sports all while telling young men that if they have too much testosterone they’re bad.
Now, they cannot understand why they are losing the male vote.
Frankly, the Harris campaign and upper echelons of the Democratic Party are being advised by feminine gay men and female “allys” who sit down to pee, keep their legs as tightly together as possible, and who could not fathom or understand the reaction to the Bud Light backlash. They’ve lost the plot and are not getting it back.
MSNBC declared fitness is something from the far-right. The Guardian decided caring about your well-being makes you fascist. Time declared exercise is linked to white supremacy.
Newsweek got worked up over “hot girls” being a right wing obsession. The New Republic thinks red meat is subtext for rightwing. Even Harvard professors got in on the act.
So, to review, the thinkers on the Democrat Party side believe if you want to stay in shape, are interested in hot chicks, or eat red meat then you’re a toxically masculine fascist right-winger. Also, if you don’t think men can get pregnant, you’re a bigot Trump voter.
These views are reflected in the people steering the Harris campaign and they wonder why they’re losing not just men, but middle America.
It’s also why Harris’s team thought she could get away with bailing on the Al Smith dinner, why it is Trump and not Harris who is working the fryer at McDonalds, and why Trump and not Harris went to a Steelers game.
It is also why Democratic elite love the WNBA and think a trans activist drinking a Bud Light wouldn’t provoke a reaction. The Democrat elite are out of touch.
Speaking of the WNBA
I wanted to watch a split screen on YouTube TV last night of the Mets v Dodgers game and the Jets v Steelers game. I could not watch any variation on YouTube TV without also having to put on the WNBA game. Every option to watch a split screen required the WNBA game to be on. I assume they will hype all the people who watched it and include those forced to do so against their will.
If you want to watch a bunch of women play basketball, I have no problem with it. But going back to the pee squatters in charge of the Harris campaign, the progressive elite care desperately about something no one else cares about unless Caitlin Clark is playing.
The arena was packed, but clearly tiny. And when the TV cameras showed the crowd, which was infrequent given the tiny size of the arena, the majority of the men they showed were the ones who think the gym really is rightwing. Again, it is indicative of all the problems the Democrats are having connecting to black, Hispanic, and white men who stand up to pee. They disproportionately demand everyone care about things few care about and mock things many care about.
The Israeli Intelligence Leaks
Semafor, quite some time ago, documented how the Biden-Harris Administration has been infiltrated by Iranian sympathizers. Now, the Administration has leaked national security and intelligence information to Iran related to Israel’s planned strike on Iran.
An investigation is underway into the source of the leak.
What is just as notable is that, despite the seriousness and newsworthy nature of this, the New York Times, which continues to be the paper of record for the elite, chose to bury the news on page A10 instead of the front page when the story came out.
Iran and Russia are now allies and the Biden-Harris team are leaking to that Russian ally about a purported American ally. The nature of the intelligence leaked means it came from within the intelligence community, which has increasingly been a progressive hotbed of antisemites.
One senior Biden-Harris administration official, who was not authorized to speak on record about the situation, described the leak as a "deadly serious breach."
"For at least the past year there has been a concerted campaign to leak what at least seems to be classified information by anti-Israel elements in large part to impact media narratives—but, if true, this obviously goes beyond that," the official said.
A U.S. defense official, also speaking only on background, confirmed the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) is "looking into these reports" as it seeks to determine how a cache of highly secretive documents, dated Oct. 15 and 16, made their way to a pro-Iran media account entity that published them on Telegram.
The White House National Security Council declined to comment, referring requests to the Pentagon and ODNI, which also would not speak on record. The Pentagon did not respond to a request for comment on the documents, their authenticity, and efforts to identify the leaker.
Release the Transcript
60 Minutes did edit Kamala Harris’s interview. They said they did nothing nefarious in the editing. The AP tries to make sense of it all. But CBS News, which also edited Speaker Mike Johnson to take him out of context last week on Face the Nation, could simply release the transcript. They will not do that, however, which does suggest they are hiding something.
Winning the Day
As I mentioned in my morning piece, the Democrats are left to mock and scoff at Donald Trump. The New York Times is defending Harris’s claims that she worked at a McDonald’s despite no evidence provided by either Harris or McDonald’s because, and I quote, “Her campaign and a friend say she did.” That is a standard they’d never allow a Republican to get away with.
The Washington Post had to highlight how stage-managed the event was. As a friend on Twitter noted, it was like politicians going to state fairs, which the media always fawns over. But when Trump does what others do, it is always bad, nefarious, and other worldly. The bigger issue is that Kamala Harris did not do it.
If you want the real world impact of Trump slinging fries and going to a Steeler’s game, here are today’s newspapers in Pennsylvania, the must win of all must win swing states.

"She's for they/them. He's for you."
The best, brief, succinct summary yet of our cultural divide, the one launched under the banner of "fundamental transformation" by you-know-who.
Unpacking all of this...
- Dems cater to 3% of the population like Trans people and Gays then wonder why they only get 3% of the support and the other 97% reject them. Its the same reason the movies that went Woke tanked at the Box Office. if you program a show or movie to attract only 3% of the wider audience, well guess what. So their alternative is to then "Guilt" people into seeing the movie and they wont buy that.
As for the Men = Masculinity stuff. They will try to sell themselves as inclusive and then attack men overall trying to redefine what a man is. Telling men, you need to carry a purse, like pink lace and perfume. And football well that just needs to be a past time, "No get in the kitchen and cook the meal while the super progressive wife gets online and talks about feminism with her deep voiced and comfortable shoes friends tell her how great the latest DEI woke movie that she has to see."
And now they are facing all the backlash of that and wondering why. Sorry get out.
But here's the underlying problem is the dems who complain about these deep rooted issues but still vote for harris or any dem and yell at you if you say other wise. Ex: My super liberal family member just complained about a boy on an opposing team beating their daughter at a tennis match. But yet still has a harris sign in their front lawn and consistently trashes the trans community.
That's like wrestling with a pig and wondering why you got mud on your face.
That is the biggest issue. We have people on the left who agree with many of the right leaning views yet continue to vote for the dems as if that will solve the problem. And No I don't believe its all because of trump. That's ridiculous. Some of these people have voted dem for decades.
On the WNBA - I refuse to watch even Caitlyn Clark. The way they are treating her is horrid. Every game she is hit, bashed, pushed over, and even one player tried to blind her. One of these games they are going to injure her in a way that puts her out permanently and the WNBA higher ups won't do anything about it because they don't care. I almost compare it to how Jackie Robinson was treated, although he was treated much worse. But its the same context.
Beyond that I wont watch a minute of the WNBA so long as Griner is there.
**Not sure how your YTTV was setup but I was able to split screen without the WNBA. ( Shrug )
Actually you can completely block it if you want. I did.
As for Israel, now you know why they keep the US in the dark on their operations. Because it will get leaked to Iran.
If Trump wins, day 1 hour 1.
- Fire everyone and anyone who was related to the Biden or Obama admin. Right down to the Janitor if you have to. everyone. Obama did so back in 2009. Clean slate.
- Ban nationwide by EO all biological males from female sports. that needs to end. Make it a fed law if you have to. People will argue "But abortion..." This is completely different and not related. This is about civil and human rights and safety.
if those two things happen, will make it all worth it.
