- A huge thanks to Sight & Sound Theaters
for sponsoring this video.
They're presenting Queen Esther live
in a special broadcast
event, Labor Day weekend.
Here's a quick clip,
before we begin the video.
(music playing)
From the pages of mikehukabee.com
where you can read all my columns,
chalk full of truth and wit.
If you can handle that
departure from main stream news,
as well as to have truth and wit
delivered right to your email inbox.
All you have to do is sign
up for my free newsletter.
And also my brand new book,
The Three C's That Made America Great
is available September 1st
or you can pre-order it right now.
I detail how Christianity,
capitalism and the constitution
are the underpinnings of our country.
I know you're going to
love it, I really do.
All right now lets take a look back
at another week that was.
Well MSDNC pundit Rachel
Maddow has a new gig.
You may or may not have heard about it.
Maddow this week decided that
she is a fact checker at the network.
That's right, fact checker.
Maddow continually cut into
The Republican Convention
and one of her very first claims was that
Cissie Graham Lynch
mislead viewers by calling
President Trump a champion
of religious freedom.
Because if he cared
about religious freedom
he wouldn't have
instituted the Muslim ban.
Now, I have to thank her
because I had almost forgotten
about that hoax.
That was one of the earliest
examples of the media
deliberately distorting what
President Trump said or did
and it set the template
for all of their reporting ever since.
President Trump never banned Muslims.
Never.
He banned terrorists.
And he didn't distinguish
whether they were Muslim.
Now remember, Rachel Maddow
is the same partisan hack
who for years frothed and fretted about
President Trumps supposed
collusion with Russia.
If one were to fact check
Maddow over the last
3 1/2 years you would spend
3 1/2 years correcting her facts.
And as the RNC wrapped up,
two visions of America come into view.
President Trumps message
of hope, law and order
and a return to America greatness.
Pride and faith are the American dream.
Contrast that with as
Donald Trump Jr. put it,
"The democrats convention which looked
like a never ending Zoom call".
And telling Americans that they live in a
dystopian hell scape that
is deeply unfair and unjust.
But if you elect Joe Biden
maybe it will be slightly less so.
President Obama once
promised hope and change
and the irony is that his successor
Donald Trump he's the one who is actually
delivering hope and change.
President Obama did deliver on some change
but thank goodness it wasn't permanent.
Now from the twitter verse
where you can follow me
@govmikehukabee comes
a cornucopia of stories
ridiculous and sublime.
So lets get started.
Our friends at the worlds most
out of touch news network,
CNN, reported the riots in
Wisconsin as mostly peaceful.
As a building blazed behind
their reporter on TV.
Maybe they think their
viewers are all blind.
They would have probably reported
the Hindenburg landing as mostly safe.
And if you thought that the
left wasn't made up of elitist
better than you snobs consider this.
New York Governor Cuomo has
created special quarantine rules
for the rich and famous, coming to perform
at the MTV awards.
But you, that's right,
you could go to jail
if you enter from a state
on their quarantine list.
You can even get a $10, 000 fine
from the good Governor Cuomo.
Makes me think that if I
go to New York I want my
MTV award invitation and
get out of jail card free.
Also a murder suspect committed suicide
in Minneapolis this week.
Police released footage
showing the tragedy.
So how did people respond?
Well, they rioted and looted of course.
Not because he was shot by cops
cause he committed suicide.
They still rioted.
Our cities continue to
spin out of control.
Lets hope our local politicians
realize things have gone
too far and they need
to finally do their job.
Well, we couldn't get away without a few
shames and shout outs.
Shame on PBS White House
correspondent, Yamiche Alcindor
of PBS, for tweeting that
paralyzed GOP House candidate
Madison Cawthorn standing
from his wheelchair,
at the GOP convention was
a direct rebuke to athletes
protesting police brutality.
What?
I thought it was pretty inspiring.
I mean there are plenty
of issues and news events
to report on in this election season.
Perhaps focusing on them might help people
rather than divide them.
And shame on you Mayor Ted
Wheeler of Portland, Oregon
after failing to give
consistent directions
to your police force for
over three months of rioting.
You told Oregon public
radio that your strategy
to address the rioting
is to "Let the riots burn
themselves out".
Let's hope the strategy of
Portland citizens in the next
mayoral election is to
let you burn yourself
right out of office.
Now lets have some shout outs.
I can't believe I'm going to say this,
but a shout out to dandy Don
Lemon at CNN for calling on
Joe Biden to ask for the riots to stop
in cities across America.
Now even if it is because
he fears Biden will lose
if the riots continue, stopping
them is still important
to the safety of all American citizens.
And a delicious shout
out to fourteen year old,
that's right, fourteen year old
William Cabanas of Tennessee.
He was watching the news and
saw how people were struggling
during the COVID shutdowns.
So because he bakes, he
decided to start making
vanilla extract and sell it to raise funds
to help those who are hungry.
This fourteen year old
kid has helped serve
27, 000 free meals so far.
Way to go.
And here is a historic
shout out to our neighbors
on the continent of Africa for eradicating
the wild Polio virus, that
used to paralyze 75, 000
African children every year.
Their victory comes 24
years after Nelson Mandela
helped Rotary International, launch its
kick polio out of Africa campaign.
Well done.
In a memory of Nelson Mandela,
I'd like to close with a thought from him.
He said and I quote,
"You can never have an impact on society
if you have not changed yourself.
Great peacemakers are
all people of integrity
of honesty but humility."
May our political leaders
of every stripe as well as
each of us in everyday
life take his wisdom
to heart in our lives.
Until next time these have
been the facts of the matter.
