00:00:30.500 President Biden brought together
00:00:32.320 a divided nation last night
00:00:34.040 with a rousing, clear message.
00:00:38.000 We need to build back...
00:00:39.180 We're at a great inflection point in history.
00:00:43.320 We have to do more than just build back better.
00:00:46.200 We have to build back better.
00:00:47.860 We need to do more than build back better.
00:00:49.660 We need to build back, build back, build back better.
00:00:52.760 The president gave an arbitrary
00:00:55.600 State of the Union address last night
00:00:58.300 to a mostly empty chamber
00:01:00.640 filled with people who were muzzled
00:01:03.280 inside a capital that was totally fenced off
00:01:06.900 in a city under military occupation.
00:01:11.000 Thank goodness we put down that insurrection
00:01:13.920 a few months ago.
00:01:15.140 I'm Michael Knowles.
00:01:16.020 This is The Michael Knowles Show.
00:01:24.620 Have to say, it sure did have some insurrection-y
00:01:27.660 kind of vibes last night.
00:01:29.660 Though most people didn't notice that
00:01:30.960 because most people couldn't stay awake.
00:01:32.560 My favorite comment from yesterday is from KB,
00:01:35.680 who said,
00:01:36.340 Hey, Michael, did YouTube make you guys take out
00:01:39.080 that Joe Rogan vaccine segment yesterday?
00:01:41.340 Funny you should ask that.
00:01:43.720 I just learned that apparently that was the case.
00:01:46.940 You know, last week on my show,
00:01:49.560 I read for, I did a little experiment.
00:01:52.180 I read from a peer-reviewed scientific study
00:01:56.100 that was published on the National Institutes of Health
00:01:59.460 that contradicted the prevailing narrative
00:02:02.340 that masks are really, really good and healthy
00:02:05.480 and helpful at stopping the virus.
00:02:07.800 I just, I didn't have any commentary.
00:02:10.920 I just read from the peer-reviewed scientific study
00:02:14.780 published on the very National Institutes of Health
00:02:19.060 that are supposed to be running
00:02:21.240 our public health apparatus.
00:02:23.840 And this, YouTube was very upset about that
00:02:25.820 because they don't want us to follow the science.
00:02:27.980 So then I played this clip from Joe Rogan yesterday
00:02:31.040 where Joe Rogan took aspects of that sort of study
00:02:35.860 to their logical conclusion.
00:02:38.460 And YouTube, they did not like that.
00:02:40.440 They didn't like that.
00:02:41.140 So we've got to be very, very careful here.
00:02:44.240 We don't want to cite any scientific studies
00:02:46.640 because the liberal establishment
00:02:48.860 and its enforcement wing in YouTube,
00:02:51.040 they're not going to like that
00:02:51.980 because it might contradict the result of Dr. Fauci,
00:02:54.260 peace be upon him.
00:02:55.020 So you'll have to go to dailywire.com
00:02:57.240 or listen to the audio podcast
00:02:58.660 if you want to hear peer-reviewed scientific studies
00:03:01.120 because YouTube, it doesn't want that
00:03:03.620 because we've got to follow the science,
00:03:05.880 just the scientists.
00:03:07.180 We got to just, we got to follow Fauci.
00:03:09.360 We got to just do whatever Fauci says,
00:03:11.080 even if that is in contravention of the science.
00:03:15.240 Gosh, the internet making things
00:03:16.740 pretty complicated for us here, isn't it?
00:03:18.640 It seems like things were simpler in the past.
00:03:21.140 There's one area though
00:03:22.320 where the internet has made things much, much easier.
00:03:24.980 And that would be in the process
00:03:26.140 of purchasing auto parts.
00:03:28.160 When you want to get any part for your car or truck,
00:03:30.400 head on over to rockauto.com.
00:03:33.540 Rockauto.com is so much easier
00:03:35.400 than walking into a store
00:03:36.500 and someone demanding quick answers to things like,
00:03:38.680 hey, Michael, is your Honda an LX or an EX?
00:03:42.540 I don't, how am I supposed to know that?
00:03:44.260 You go, you go look, you go look at my car.
00:03:45.960 And then I don't know, then they go,
00:03:47.400 they say, oh yeah, you need this part,
00:03:48.760 but we don't have the parts.
00:03:49.560 And they go in the back, what do they do?
00:03:50.560 They go online, probably to rockauto.com.
00:03:52.480 They order the part.
00:03:53.480 It costs twice as much.
00:03:55.180 Skip, skip that humiliation.
00:03:57.080 Skip that degradation.
00:03:57.980 Go to rockauto.com.
00:03:59.440 You can do it from your desk.
00:04:00.580 You can do it from your pocket,
00:04:01.820 just on your phone.
00:04:03.380 Rockauto.com always offers the lowest prices possible
00:04:06.120 rather than saying, okay,
00:04:07.740 it's going to be 10% more this day and 30%.
00:04:10.280 No, it's just always reliably low prices.
00:04:12.040 The same for pros such as myself
00:04:14.100 and do-it-yourselfers such as you.
00:04:16.560 Head on over to rockauto.com,
00:04:17.860 write and see all the parts available
00:04:19.080 for your car or truck.
00:04:20.200 Then write Knowles, K-N-O-W-L-E-S,
00:04:22.500 in their how did you hear about us box
00:04:24.020 so that they know we sent you.
00:04:26.020 So if you stayed awake
00:04:27.740 for the State of the Union address last night,
00:04:30.040 that is more than you can say for most people.
00:04:32.880 Even Ted Cruz,
00:04:34.840 there was a great clip of him in the audience
00:04:37.200 because it wasn't a joint session.
00:04:39.240 It was just some scattered number of people there.
00:04:42.780 And Cruz was sort of paying attention,
00:04:45.100 but then his eyes would droop a little
00:04:46.460 and he'd wake him up again.
00:04:47.740 And this is very much in keeping
00:04:49.060 with what Ted Cruz has said
00:04:51.300 about the Biden administration,
00:04:53.680 which is that it's boring but radical.
00:04:56.400 So it's a lot of the same old platitudes,
00:04:58.320 but then a lot of really radical
00:05:00.300 far-left policies that they're pursuing.
00:05:03.440 It was tired old talking points
00:05:05.920 from a tired old man last night
00:05:07.900 in the Biden address.
00:05:09.620 Joe Biden, if you closed your eyes,
00:05:12.200 which most people were doing,
00:05:13.820 you could have thought
00:05:15.300 that you were hearing a Democrat address
00:05:18.200 from, I don't know,
00:05:19.920 the mid-2000s or 2012 or something.
00:05:23.300 From years ago,
00:05:25.140 he focused on that old canard
00:05:27.960 about the 1%
00:05:29.260 and how the rich need to pay their fair share.
00:05:33.580 I will not impose any tax increase
00:05:35.940 on people making less than $400,000.
00:05:40.140 But it's time for corporate America
00:05:42.220 and the wealthiest 1% of Americans
00:05:44.520 to just begin to pay their fair share.
00:05:47.180 Just their fair share.
00:05:49.040 Sometimes I have arguments
00:05:50.340 with my friends in the Democratic Party.
00:05:53.880 I think you should be able
00:05:54.720 to become a billionaire and a millionaire,
00:05:56.760 but pay your fair share.
00:05:59.620 Recent studies shows
00:06:00.860 that 55 of the nation's biggest corporations
00:06:04.480 paid zero federal tax last year.
00:06:09.480 Okay, Joe.
00:06:10.800 And who did those corporations donate to?
00:06:14.260 Who did those millionaires vote for?
00:06:16.200 The bait that Joe Biden wants you to take
00:06:19.000 is this idea that the Democratic Party
00:06:21.400 is the party of poor people
00:06:22.900 and the working class and the Republicans.
00:06:25.460 They're the party of the oligarchs
00:06:27.400 and the millionaires and the billionaires.
00:06:29.040 It's just not true.
00:06:30.380 Millionaires voted for Joe Biden.
00:06:32.380 The big corporations in America
00:06:34.060 disproportionately gave two
00:06:36.560 and voted for Joe Biden.
00:06:37.800 Wall Street,
00:06:38.380 who'd they give to mostly?
00:06:39.860 Biden and Associated Democrats.
00:06:42.700 So on the one hand,
00:06:44.060 I think, great, tax them.
00:06:46.540 As H.L. Mencken says,
00:06:48.540 democracy is the theory
00:06:49.680 that the common people know what they want
00:06:51.140 and deserve to get it good and hard.
00:06:52.480 I guess in this case,
00:06:53.480 in our very corrupted democracy,
00:06:55.060 it's the theory
00:06:56.040 that these entrenched special interests
00:06:57.840 and millionaires and billionaires
00:06:59.360 know what they want
00:07:00.340 and deserve to get it good and hard.
00:07:01.380 Fine, give it to them.
00:07:02.780 On the other hand,
00:07:03.780 as long as we're citing studies,
00:07:05.920 we should point out
00:07:06.920 that the rich pay
00:07:08.000 virtually all of the taxes in the country.
00:07:09.880 I went through all of the numbers on this
00:07:11.380 in a recent speech
00:07:12.300 I gave for the Young America's Foundation.
00:07:14.240 So this rhetoric
00:07:15.400 is purely the rhetoric of envy.
00:07:17.480 It's not even the rhetoric of greed.
00:07:20.140 It's not even the rhetoric of,
00:07:22.000 I want something.
00:07:23.100 It's more the rhetoric of,
00:07:24.180 I don't want someone else to have it.
00:07:26.660 You know, the wealthy,
00:07:28.760 defined as we ordinarily define it,
00:07:31.000 paid something like, what,
00:07:31.780 97% of personal income taxes?
00:07:34.880 So what do they want?
00:07:35.880 They want them to pay 98%, 99%?
00:07:38.020 No, it's just more.
00:07:39.680 They just want them to pay more.
00:07:41.660 But in this case,
00:07:43.120 because the rhetoric is so outdated,
00:07:45.800 Joe Biden is not even willing to acknowledge
00:07:48.140 that the rich vote for Democrats.
00:07:50.040 So fine, you want to tax the rich?
00:07:51.740 Okay, fine by me, Joe.
00:07:54.160 It's probably not going to work out very well.
00:07:56.900 Then he moves on to the race baiting.
00:07:59.320 We knew that the race baiting
00:08:00.620 was going to happen.
00:08:01.320 They've been doing this
00:08:02.020 not just for two years.
00:08:03.020 They've been doing this
00:08:03.540 for many, many decades here.
00:08:05.400 Joe Biden says that the greatest scourge
00:08:08.660 in this country, white supremacy.
00:08:11.260 The threat has evolved way beyond Afghanistan.
00:08:15.480 Those of you in the intelligence committees,
00:08:17.920 the foreign relations committee,
00:08:19.140 defense committees,
00:08:20.480 you know well,
00:08:21.880 we have to remain vigilant
00:08:23.080 against the threats to the United States
00:08:24.340 wherever they come from.
00:08:26.440 Al Qaeda and ISIS are in Yemen,
00:08:28.640 Syria, Somalia,
00:08:30.400 other places in Africa,
00:08:31.840 in the Middle East and beyond.
00:08:32.860 And we won't ignore
00:08:35.280 what our intelligence agencies
00:08:36.540 have determined
00:08:37.860 to be the most lethal terrorist threat
00:08:39.780 to the homeland today.
00:08:42.540 White supremacy is terrorism.
00:08:45.300 We're not going to ignore that either.
00:08:47.680 My fellow Americans, look,
00:08:49.880 we have to come together
00:08:51.000 to heal the soul of this nation.
00:08:53.680 We have to come together.
00:08:56.200 White supremacy is a terrible,
00:08:59.040 awful, prominent scourge
00:09:01.140 and Trump supporters.
00:09:02.480 They're all racist
00:09:03.020 and white supremacists.
00:09:04.180 We have to come together.
00:09:05.860 We have to trust
00:09:06.460 the intelligence agencies.
00:09:08.680 Oh, the intelligence agencies
00:09:10.520 who spied on behalf of Barack Obama
00:09:15.360 on the Trump campaign,
00:09:16.640 the intelligence agencies
00:09:17.640 who cooked up with the Democrats
00:09:20.040 a completely bogus Russia dossier
00:09:23.500 on President Trump,
00:09:24.820 the intelligence agencies
00:09:26.080 who colluded with Democrats
00:09:28.240 to try to overthrow
00:09:29.860 the Trump administration
00:09:30.720 for four years.
00:09:31.720 I guess eventually
00:09:32.500 it worked out for them.
00:09:34.460 Those intelligence,
00:09:35.120 yeah, we got to trust
00:09:35.940 the intelligence agencies.
00:09:37.560 Okay, buddy.
00:09:38.500 And what are the intelligence agencies?
00:09:40.460 Just, I just,
00:09:41.560 out of curiosity,
00:09:42.340 what are they telling us?
00:09:43.300 Oh, that the great threat
00:09:44.260 is white supremacy.
00:09:46.220 White supremacy.
00:09:47.760 Because of what?
00:09:49.620 Because some skinheads
00:09:52.100 posted some memes
00:09:53.240 or something once?
00:09:54.300 Because there have been,
00:09:57.400 I don't know,
00:09:57.940 a handful, I guess,
00:09:59.480 of white supremacist attacks
00:10:01.520 in recent decades?
00:10:05.400 BLM burns the country down last year
00:10:07.500 and threatens to burn
00:10:09.000 the country down again.
00:10:10.820 That, no, no, no,
00:10:11.640 that's not a threat.
00:10:12.520 That's not, that's actually,
00:10:13.320 that's wonderful.
00:10:13.900 That's healing.
00:10:14.620 When you loot the Nike store
00:10:16.320 and you burn down Minneapolis
00:10:17.820 and Washington, D.C.
00:10:20.200 and other cities
00:10:21.440 all around the country,
00:10:22.200 that is healing
00:10:23.700 and that's good
00:10:25.120 and that's peaceful,
00:10:25.980 mostly peaceful at least.
00:10:27.880 But if you post some edgy memes,
00:10:31.060 that's the real,
00:10:31.800 that's the real threat, folks.
00:10:33.980 It doesn't seem very convincing to me.
00:10:36.380 And then, and then,
00:10:38.180 when, when he's checked off those boxes,
00:10:40.480 the old stale talking points
00:10:41.760 and the typical race hustling,
00:10:43.640 then Joe Biden does something
00:10:45.700 that is at least tactically
00:10:48.360 probably a little smarter.
00:10:49.440 He tries to take credit
00:10:51.540 for Trump policies.
00:10:52.860 So, so probably the most popular thing
00:10:55.180 he said all night,
00:10:55.900 and you got to give him credit,
00:10:57.280 is Joe Biden said,
00:10:58.380 we've been in Afghanistan too long
00:10:59.880 and we've got to bring the troops home.
00:11:01.720 The war in Afghanistan,
00:11:03.060 as we remember the debates here,
00:11:04.940 were never meant to be
00:11:06.020 multi-generational undertakings
00:11:07.720 of nation building.
00:11:10.000 We went to Afghanistan to get terrorists,
00:11:12.780 the terrorists who attacked us on 9-11.
00:11:14.500 And we said we would follow
00:11:18.440 Osama bin Laden to the gates of hell
00:11:20.560 to do it.
00:11:22.760 If you've been in the upper Konar Valley,
00:11:24.360 you've kind of seen the gates of hell.
00:11:26.980 And we delivered justice to bin Laden.
00:11:30.100 We degraded the terrorist threat
00:11:31.800 of al-Qaeda in Afghanistan.
00:11:33.920 And after 20 years of value,
00:11:36.600 valor, and sacrifice,
00:11:38.740 it's time to bring those troops home.
00:11:41.040 Very popular line.
00:11:43.200 President Trump actually ran his campaign
00:11:45.900 largely on the idea
00:11:47.460 that we had had a bunch of failed
00:11:49.040 foreign wars in the Middle East
00:11:50.460 and that we should bring the troops home.
00:11:54.280 Then I remembered when I was thinking,
00:11:56.340 no, this is Joe Biden.
00:11:57.260 That's okay.
00:11:57.700 He's adopting this Trump policy.
00:11:59.020 That's sort of interesting.
00:12:00.540 I said, wait a second.
00:12:01.320 Why are we still in Afghanistan?
00:12:04.620 A lot of people don't remember this,
00:12:06.440 but by 2007 or so,
00:12:08.580 Afghanistan was kind of over.
00:12:10.040 That war was kind of done.
00:12:12.340 And in 2007,
00:12:14.780 Barack Obama,
00:12:16.580 Obama-Biden,
00:12:17.920 that was the ticket going into 2008,
00:12:20.520 campaigned on restarting the Afghanistan war
00:12:24.160 because Barack Obama was campaigning
00:12:26.600 against the Iraq war.
00:12:28.060 And as he was campaigning
00:12:28.840 to pull the troops out of Iraq,
00:12:30.680 he needed a good war, right?
00:12:32.300 If Iraq was the bad war,
00:12:33.480 he needed a good war to fight.
00:12:34.940 He said, we put too much energy in Iraq.
00:12:36.740 We didn't put enough energy in Afghanistan.
00:12:37.980 So then he surged the troops in Afghanistan.
00:12:41.200 The current iteration of the Afghanistan war
00:12:43.480 was a creation of Barack Obama.
00:12:46.280 Donald Trump ran to pull that down.
00:12:49.200 And now Joe Biden,
00:12:51.000 half of the Obama-Biden administration,
00:12:53.440 half of the Obama-Biden ticket,
00:12:55.040 is running against the policy
00:12:56.420 that he himself championed
00:12:58.620 and restarted in Afghanistan.
00:13:00.980 Fine, better late than never, I guess.
00:13:02.360 A really painful State of the Union address.
00:13:08.140 I know a lot of conservatives
00:13:09.080 don't like the State of the Union.
00:13:10.320 Ben talked about this last night
00:13:11.320 because he said it's quasi-monarchical.
00:13:14.120 It's against the American,
00:13:16.260 against the libertarian
00:13:17.300 sort of understanding of things.
00:13:18.880 Okay, it doesn't really bug me.
00:13:20.460 I think there's always going to be
00:13:21.520 some spiritedness in the executive branch.
00:13:23.880 I think that's the purpose
00:13:24.620 of the executive branch,
00:13:26.020 is to convey the thumos,
00:13:29.240 the spirited part of the government,
00:13:31.920 just like the legislature
00:13:33.580 expresses the appetitive
00:13:35.100 or emotional part,
00:13:36.140 and the judiciary
00:13:36.960 expresses the rational part.
00:13:39.680 It's supposed to be an analog
00:13:40.800 of the tripartite soul.
00:13:42.820 And in practice,
00:13:44.220 I guess in practice,
00:13:44.880 it works like a lot of our souls
00:13:45.920 in that it's corrupted
00:13:47.000 and sort of broken.
00:13:48.300 But okay, I get it.
00:13:49.380 I understand why we do that.
00:13:51.800 But in recent years,
00:13:53.040 really starting with Ronald Reagan
00:13:54.460 and then going into overdrive
00:13:55.700 with Bill Clinton,
00:13:57.280 the speeches have gotten really long.
00:13:58.860 They've gotten really windy.
00:14:00.040 They've gotten unbearable.
00:14:01.700 Antonin Scalia famously stopped going.
00:14:03.780 He just thought it was
00:14:04.340 a complete waste of his time.
00:14:06.980 Last night, it was the worst one.
00:14:09.160 It was the worst one
00:14:10.280 I've ever seen in my whole life.
00:14:11.960 And I've been watching these
00:14:12.760 since I was a little kid.
00:14:15.440 And yet the worst job
00:14:17.100 on State of the Union night,
00:14:19.520 and this joint address
00:14:20.600 was sort of the State of the Union.
00:14:22.780 The worst job is not even
00:14:24.740 sitting in the room
00:14:25.960 or giving the speech.
00:14:26.740 It's giving the rebuttal
00:14:29.200 from the party
00:14:30.380 that is out of power.
00:14:32.020 Not a great job.
00:14:33.280 Not a job that anybody wants.
00:14:35.180 Now, if you do want a great job
00:14:37.840 and you want to find people
00:14:38.920 that are right for the job,
00:14:39.800 you should check out Zip Recruiter.
00:14:41.160 If you are a business owner
00:14:42.360 who is hiring,
00:14:43.700 you've got a lot of challenges
00:14:44.920 when it comes to finding
00:14:46.120 the right person for your role
00:14:47.280 because you know
00:14:48.100 that your people
00:14:48.980 are going to be
00:14:49.680 your most important investment.
00:14:51.520 And it is so hard
00:14:52.480 to find good help these days.
00:14:54.380 Hiring can feel like
00:14:55.240 trying to find a needle
00:14:56.060 in a haystack.
00:14:57.280 So what do people usually do?
00:14:58.720 They post a job
00:14:59.400 to some job board
00:15:00.240 and then they just hope.
00:15:01.700 They say,
00:15:01.960 I hope someone sees it.
00:15:02.720 It's like throwing spaghetti
00:15:03.520 at the wall.
00:15:04.120 I'm mixing my metaphors here.
00:15:05.180 You get the point.

00:15:41.120 Last night,
00:15:42.140 Tim Scott,
00:15:43.640 Republican senator
00:15:44.480 from South Carolina,
00:15:45.640 drew the short straw
00:15:46.640 and he had to give
00:15:47.980 the rebuttal
00:15:49.160 to Joe Biden's
00:15:50.300 fake State of the Union address.
00:15:51.980 Ha,
00:15:54.500 what do I say about this?
00:15:56.440 It was better
00:15:57.220 than many
00:15:57.920 State of the Union rebuttals,
00:15:59.980 I guess,
00:16:00.740 sort of damning
00:16:01.440 with faint praise here.
00:16:02.560 It just,
00:16:03.200 just didn't do it.
00:16:04.540 It wasn't quite there.
00:16:06.240 In,
00:16:06.600 in some ways,
00:16:07.500 I think that the
00:16:08.420 State of the Union,
00:16:10.520 the,
00:16:10.780 the rebuttal,
00:16:11.520 which many people view
00:16:12.360 as a great way
00:16:12.960 to introduce yourself
00:16:13.780 to the nation,
00:16:14.720 maybe kick off
00:16:15.460 a presidential campaign,
00:16:16.780 national ambitions.
00:16:18.020 In some ways,
00:16:18.800 it is the guaranteed way
00:16:20.300 to doom anyone's
00:16:22.520 presidential ambitions.
00:16:24.180 They never go well.
00:16:25.380 Remember Bobby Jindal?
00:16:27.140 Remember President Bobby Jindal?
00:16:29.220 No,
00:16:30.460 no,
00:16:30.840 nobody does.
00:16:31.800 He was governor,
00:16:33.100 governor of Louisiana.
00:16:35.040 He was picked
00:16:35.740 to give the rebuttal.
00:16:36.920 He gave a,
00:16:37.440 a very bad rebuttal.
00:16:38.480 That was the end
00:16:38.880 of his campaign.
00:16:39.880 Marco Rubio
00:16:40.640 did relatively
00:16:41.740 a better job than most
00:16:43.060 and he gave the rebuttal
00:16:44.880 and he had that awkward moment
00:16:46.040 where he was drinking water
00:16:47.160 out of a water bottle
00:16:48.080 and it didn't.
00:16:48.780 Anyway,
00:16:49.200 we have not yet seen
00:16:50.800 the Rubio administration
00:16:52.100 and Tim Scott,
00:16:53.220 same thing.
00:16:53.680 It was pretty weak stuff,
00:16:54.480 I felt.
00:16:56.000 It,
00:16:56.200 it tried to go
00:16:57.800 in the right direction
00:16:58.500 and then he kind of jumbled it.
00:17:00.200 So I'll give you
00:17:00.600 a good example of this.
00:17:02.060 Tim Scott
00:17:02.620 called out the Democrats
00:17:04.500 for one of the most
00:17:06.780 visibly
00:17:07.920 difficult aspects
00:17:09.620 of their policy this year,
00:17:10.940 namely that they've
00:17:11.640 locked kids
00:17:12.420 out of school,
00:17:13.820 out of their education
00:17:14.760 and locked them up
00:17:15.900 at home
00:17:16.420 for a whole year.
00:17:17.720 Tim Scott
00:17:18.400 calls them out.
00:17:19.780 Locking vulnerable kids
00:17:21.320 out of the classroom
00:17:22.400 is locking adults
00:17:24.180 out of their future.
00:17:26.220 Our public schools
00:17:27.200 should have reopened
00:17:28.080 months ago.
00:17:29.880 Other countries did.
00:17:31.720 Private and religious schools did.
00:17:34.040 Science has shown
00:17:35.240 for months
00:17:36.120 that schools are safe.
00:17:38.180 But too often,
00:17:39.540 powerful grown-ups
00:17:40.560 set science aside
00:17:41.980 and kids like me
00:17:44.380 were left behind.
00:17:46.080 So this is the perfect
00:17:48.500 Tim Scott oration
00:17:50.120 in that you can see
00:17:51.500 it's kind of going
00:17:52.080 in the right direction
00:17:52.700 but it just kind of
00:17:53.380 misses it.
00:17:54.740 So yes,
00:17:55.220 it was cruel
00:17:55.860 and ridiculous
00:17:57.860 of Democrats
00:17:58.520 to lock kids
00:17:59.160 out of school.
00:18:00.620 Specifically
00:18:01.020 out of public school
00:18:01.760 because home schools
00:18:02.520 obviously were operating
00:18:03.300 in private,
00:18:03.820 many private schools
00:18:04.640 were still open.
00:18:05.120 but Republicans
00:18:07.960 always say
00:18:09.040 that public schools
00:18:09.960 are terrible.
00:18:10.680 They're not serving students
00:18:11.620 and worse,
00:18:12.780 they're indoctrinating them
00:18:14.320 in this woke,
00:18:15.140 poisonous ideology
00:18:16.040 that's making them
00:18:16.740 hate their country
00:18:17.400 and not know anything
00:18:18.280 about history
00:18:19.120 or literature
00:18:19.580 or anything else
00:18:20.180 for that matter.
00:18:21.800 So are we now,
00:18:22.800 are Republicans now
00:18:23.840 the pro-public school party?
00:18:26.340 We're the ones who say
00:18:27.300 it's really important
00:18:29.540 for children
00:18:30.240 to be in public school.
00:18:31.380 I thought we were saying
00:18:31.900 that public schools
00:18:32.360 were harming children.
00:18:33.060 So now we're saying
00:18:33.700 that not being in public school
00:18:35.100 is harming children?
00:18:36.280 It's just a jumbled message.
00:18:38.720 When Tim Scott says
00:18:39.780 the science has shown
00:18:41.440 for months
00:18:42.060 that we can send
00:18:42.640 our kids back to school.
00:18:44.980 It's true,
00:18:45.860 there's no scientific evidence
00:18:48.240 that being in school
00:18:49.380 would be harmful to kids.
00:18:51.100 But for the last year and a half
00:18:52.240 I thought Republicans
00:18:52.900 were making the argument
00:18:53.720 that we shouldn't
00:18:54.800 have a policy
00:18:55.520 just based on the whims
00:18:56.560 of scientists.
00:18:58.300 I thought what we're saying
00:18:59.680 is that our politics
00:19:00.520 should be based on
00:19:01.380 more than just
00:19:02.240 the scientific data.
00:19:03.360 It should be based
00:19:04.000 on ethical considerations.
00:19:05.400 It should be based
00:19:05.960 on our tradition.
00:19:07.020 It should be based
00:19:07.440 on our constitutional rights.
00:19:09.380 So yeah,
00:19:09.940 we're scoring
00:19:10.760 the cheap point
00:19:12.260 on how the science
00:19:13.860 is in our favor,
00:19:14.780 but we're giving them
00:19:15.800 the broader premise
00:19:16.740 that the science
00:19:18.060 should dictate our politics
00:19:19.180 when it certainly should not.
00:19:21.200 That's the idea
00:19:22.260 of the progressive leftists.
00:19:23.780 That is not the idea
00:19:24.900 of constitutional conservatives.
00:19:27.500 Just kind of jumbled.
00:19:29.740 Then Tim Scott comes out
00:19:31.140 and on the bright side
00:19:33.020 he attacks
00:19:34.080 critical race theory.
00:19:35.660 Today,
00:19:36.980 kids are being taught
00:19:38.080 that the color of their skin
00:19:39.540 defines them again.
00:19:41.760 And if they look
00:19:42.320 a certain way
00:19:42.980 they're an oppressor.
00:19:44.720 From colleges
00:19:45.540 to corporations
00:19:46.480 to our culture
00:19:47.360 people are making money
00:19:48.980 and gaining power
00:19:50.240 by pretending
00:19:51.140 we haven't made
00:19:52.040 any progress
00:19:52.980 at all.
00:19:54.320 By doubling down
00:19:55.360 on the divisions
00:19:56.120 we've worked
00:19:57.180 so hard
00:19:57.980 to heal.
00:19:58.820 You know this stuff
00:20:00.320 is wrong.
00:20:01.440 Hear me clearly.
00:20:03.180 America
00:20:03.800 is not
00:20:05.220 a racist country.
00:20:07.640 It's backwards
00:20:08.760 to fight discrimination
00:20:10.160 with different types
00:20:11.820 of discrimination
00:20:12.580 and it's wrong
00:20:13.980 to try to use
00:20:15.100 our painful past
00:20:16.360 to dishonestly
00:20:17.720 shut down
00:20:18.600 debates
00:20:19.480 in the present.
00:20:20.180 Okay,
00:20:21.780 good stuff.
00:20:22.360 America's not
00:20:23.020 a racist country.
00:20:24.220 Great,
00:20:24.720 really powerful message
00:20:26.080 from the guy
00:20:26.800 giving the reputal
00:20:27.580 to the State of the Union
00:20:28.260 because what Joe Biden
00:20:28.960 is saying is America
00:20:29.560 is a racist country.
00:20:31.380 So,
00:20:32.300 Tim Scott giving this answer
00:20:33.300 and especially
00:20:33.860 because Joe Biden's
00:20:34.620 an old white guy
00:20:35.220 and Tim Scott
00:20:35.900 is a young black guy.
00:20:37.640 So,
00:20:38.060 he's even got
00:20:38.780 more credibility here
00:20:39.660 to say America's
00:20:40.220 not a racist nation.
00:20:41.020 That's good.
00:20:42.060 But,
00:20:42.980 notice what's creeping
00:20:43.960 in here.
00:20:44.920 Words like progress.
00:20:46.700 We've made progress.
00:20:48.060 What is that?
00:20:48.620 Well,
00:20:48.960 we've certainly,
00:20:50.100 in some ways,
00:20:51.320 the situation
00:20:51.820 has improved
00:20:52.600 in the country.
00:20:53.800 In some ways,
00:20:54.880 it has fallen apart.
00:20:58.080 Right?
00:20:58.600 There's no question
00:20:59.440 about it.
00:20:59.720 In some ways,
00:21:01.020 we've made progress,
00:21:03.400 especially on matters
00:21:04.240 of race,
00:21:04.720 but in some ways,
00:21:05.500 we've actually
00:21:06.060 gone backwards
00:21:08.000 on matters of race.
00:21:09.300 Right now,
00:21:09.620 I think race relations
00:21:10.340 are much more tense
00:21:11.060 than they were
00:21:11.580 in the early 2000s,
00:21:13.360 for instance.
00:21:14.580 So,
00:21:14.800 over the last 20 years,
00:21:15.600 I think race relations
00:21:16.320 have degraded.
00:21:17.560 But,
00:21:17.980 even this language
00:21:18.780 of forward
00:21:19.400 and backward
00:21:20.040 and progress
00:21:20.720 and regress,
00:21:21.580 does that not grant
00:21:23.020 a kind of progressive
00:21:24.400 view of history?
00:21:25.340 When he talks about
00:21:26.180 the painful past,
00:21:27.880 this is a little bit
00:21:28.980 of a tricky rhetorical
00:21:30.120 tool for conservatives
00:21:31.180 because what conservatives
00:21:33.680 want to do
00:21:34.220 is bring out
00:21:35.800 and maintain
00:21:36.320 and conserve
00:21:37.040 the best of the past
00:21:38.420 and then use
00:21:39.680 what is best
00:21:40.420 in the past
00:21:41.160 and what is good
00:21:43.020 and true
00:21:43.680 and beautiful
00:21:44.140 to create
00:21:45.180 a better politics
00:21:46.140 than the one
00:21:46.540 we have right now.
00:21:48.400 Well,
00:21:48.780 if the past
00:21:49.600 is very painful,
00:21:50.800 why would you want
00:21:51.440 to look to the past
00:21:52.340 for any sort of wisdom?
00:21:53.880 And then,
00:21:54.440 Tim Scott takes this
00:21:55.600 to the logical conclusion
00:21:56.800 when he invokes
00:21:57.880 one of my least favorite
00:21:59.280 slogans
00:22:01.160 to refer to slavery
00:22:03.020 in the United States.
00:22:05.240 He refers to
00:22:06.360 the original sin.
00:22:07.720 Black, Hispanic,
00:22:10.080 white, and Asian,
00:22:11.400 Republican, and Democrat,
00:22:13.240 brave police officers
00:22:14.440 in black neighborhoods.
00:22:16.020 We are not adversaries.
00:22:18.720 We are family.
00:22:20.420 We are all in this together
00:22:22.220 and we get to live
00:22:24.580 in the greatest country
00:22:25.960 on earth.
00:22:27.460 The country
00:22:28.580 where my grandfather
00:22:30.080 in his 94 years
00:22:31.740 saw his family
00:22:33.360 go from cotton
00:22:34.920 to Congress
00:22:36.100 in one lifetime.
00:22:38.240 So, I am more
00:22:39.460 than hopeful.
00:22:41.460 I am confident
00:22:42.320 that our finest hour
00:22:44.300 is yet to come.
00:22:46.440 Original sin
00:22:47.420 is never
00:22:48.460 the end
00:22:49.180 of the story.
00:22:50.760 Not in our souls
00:22:51.940 and not for our nation.
00:22:54.400 The real story
00:22:55.880 is always
00:22:57.040 redemption.
00:22:58.940 Oh, gosh.
00:23:00.160 This is so close
00:23:01.620 to being compelling,
00:23:02.820 but actually,
00:23:03.320 it seems very damaging.
00:23:05.440 So, Tim Scott
00:23:05.960 has this line.
00:23:06.540 He uses it a lot.
00:23:07.160 He says,
00:23:07.400 we went from cotton
00:23:08.500 to Congress
00:23:08.980 in one generation.
00:23:10.560 That's a very powerful story.
00:23:12.880 Tim Scott's family
00:23:13.800 is very, very,
00:23:14.800 Tim Scott himself
00:23:15.440 is very, very impressive.
00:23:17.700 The line
00:23:18.620 just reads
00:23:19.580 like a kind of,
00:23:21.560 I don't know,
00:23:22.480 dated
00:23:22.900 political rhetorical tool.
00:23:25.740 Something that was,
00:23:26.560 what was so refreshing
00:23:27.300 about Trump
00:23:27.840 is he seemed
00:23:28.480 like a regular guy.
00:23:29.640 It's funny
00:23:29.980 because Trump
00:23:30.380 is probably
00:23:30.760 the least regular guy
00:23:31.680 that we've had
00:23:32.120 in office
00:23:32.500 since, I don't know,
00:23:34.280 Washington,
00:23:35.340 Roosevelt,
00:23:36.100 who knows.
00:23:37.100 But he talked
00:23:39.140 like a regular guy
00:23:39.980 and he didn't,
00:23:40.720 whereas when Tim Scott
00:23:42.200 uses that phrase
00:23:43.200 or uses the address
00:23:44.700 to describe his biography,
00:23:46.520 it just seems
00:23:47.420 like the sort of thing
00:23:48.360 written by a consultant,
00:23:49.540 like use that line
00:23:50.420 and use it in this way
00:23:52.020 that is very meaningful
00:23:54.940 and persuasive
00:23:56.160 and heartwarming
00:23:57.100 and it just,
00:23:57.560 it doesn't really achieve
00:23:58.380 any of those sorts of things.
00:23:59.200 But then he refers
00:24:00.680 to original sin.
00:24:02.340 He doesn't say directly
00:24:03.300 that he's referring
00:24:04.180 to slavery,
00:24:04.640 but I think it's pretty obvious
00:24:05.600 in the context
00:24:06.100 of cotton to Congress,
00:24:07.340 he's referring
00:24:07.960 to a line
00:24:09.720 that's very common
00:24:10.920 in American politics,
00:24:11.960 which is that slavery
00:24:13.260 is America's original sin.
00:24:15.540 And the problem
00:24:16.320 with that
00:24:16.720 is that slavery
00:24:17.420 is not America's
00:24:18.640 original sin.
00:24:21.240 Original sin
00:24:22.140 is America's
00:24:22.740 original sin.
00:24:24.720 Slavery is not
00:24:25.580 unique to America.
00:24:27.180 The abolition of slavery
00:24:28.420 slavery is in some ways
00:24:29.200 is unique to the West.
00:24:31.100 Slavery still exists
00:24:32.140 outside of the West
00:24:33.700 and in the West
00:24:34.900 it really does not.
00:24:36.580 It's not unique
00:24:37.400 to America
00:24:37.880 within the West either,
00:24:38.900 certainly not within
00:24:39.480 the rest of the world.
00:24:41.160 But the idea
00:24:41.900 that slavery
00:24:42.600 is America's
00:24:43.460 original sin
00:24:44.320 is a really bad idea
00:24:47.260 for our politics
00:24:48.180 because it suggests
00:24:49.540 that we can correct
00:24:51.740 our original sin,
00:24:52.840 we ourselves
00:24:53.620 through our own efforts alone.
00:24:55.920 And that is not true.
00:24:57.900 When Tim Scott says
00:24:58.960 that the end of the story
00:24:59.840 is redemption,
00:25:00.880 it's not the sin.
00:25:01.900 Sin's not the end of the story.
00:25:03.200 Redemption is the end of the story.
00:25:04.280 That's true.
00:25:04.920 That is the heart
00:25:05.960 of Christianity.
00:25:07.820 But not if
00:25:09.960 the original sin
00:25:11.040 is this one
00:25:11.800 political institution
00:25:13.120 called slavery
00:25:13.760 and if the redemption
00:25:15.120 is through ourselves
00:25:16.180 and through our politics
00:25:17.040 or even through,
00:25:17.820 say, I don't know,
00:25:18.760 Abraham Lincoln
00:25:19.360 or through
00:25:20.100 the ongoing progressive work
00:25:22.020 to undo that original sin.
00:25:23.460 That's the opposite
00:25:24.380 of the message
00:25:24.840 of Christianity.
00:25:26.660 The message
00:25:27.040 of Christianity
00:25:27.500 is that
00:25:28.120 we have fallen
00:25:29.960 into sin.
00:25:30.580 All of us
00:25:31.320 are complicit
00:25:32.760 in this original sin
00:25:34.000 and therefore
00:25:35.600 we have this broken
00:25:36.920 nature,
00:25:38.880 this sin and death
00:25:39.900 pervade the world,
00:25:40.620 but that God
00:25:41.460 through his
00:25:42.200 infinite grace
00:25:43.960 comes down
00:25:45.100 and redeems us
00:25:46.100 and we are therefore
00:25:46.700 grateful for that
00:25:47.900 and we haven't really
00:25:49.000 earned our redemption,
00:25:50.480 but we now
00:25:51.680 are born anew,
00:25:53.380 born again.
00:25:53.760 That's great.
00:25:55.840 The message of
00:25:56.940 slavery,
00:25:57.780 America's original sin
00:25:58.840 and we're going
00:25:59.180 to redeem ourselves,
00:26:00.080 that is a totally
00:26:01.760 progressive view
00:26:03.300 of the situation
00:26:04.960 and I don't think
00:26:05.980 Tim Scott intended that.
00:26:07.100 I think he's trying
00:26:07.540 to give a Christian
00:26:08.080 message here,
00:26:08.940 but it ends up,
00:26:11.380 I think,
00:26:11.660 giving the left
00:26:12.460 so much past bad,
00:26:14.940 future good.
00:26:15.720 We're going to do it
00:26:16.180 through the great work
00:26:16.960 of progressives.
00:26:19.220 In fact,
00:26:20.080 progressives are going
00:26:21.200 to set us back,
00:26:22.680 if anything,
00:26:23.360 to use that same
00:26:23.960 kind of language.
00:26:24.640 With 20 years
00:26:25.620 reporting on the markets,
00:26:26.640 I know that some industries
00:26:27.820 are built to last,
00:26:28.900 but others are built
00:26:29.860 to lead.

00:26:31.580 If you want exposure
00:26:32.380 to what's really
00:26:33.180 shaping our world,
00:26:34.340 think beyond trends.
00:26:35.880 Think defense,
00:26:36.780 healthcare,
00:26:37.500 telecom,
00:26:38.160 real estate,
00:26:38.820 gold,
00:26:39.380 crypto.

00:28:02.240 Tim Scott's rebuttal
00:28:04.060 to the fake state
00:28:05.820 of the union
00:28:06.260 mostly fell flat
00:28:07.380 and in Senator Scott's
00:28:08.740 defense,
00:28:09.520 they all fall flat,
00:28:10.480 so he's in good company.
00:28:12.560 Nevertheless,
00:28:13.640 CNN hated Tim Scott's speech.
00:28:16.060 They were live
00:28:16.720 fact-checking him
00:28:17.800 during the speech.
00:28:19.120 One of the fact-checks,
00:28:20.500 though,
00:28:20.760 and this was a pretty
00:28:21.780 big problem for CNN,
00:28:23.180 although the viewers,
00:28:23.880 I'm sure,
00:28:24.100 didn't notice it,
00:28:25.180 is that Tim Scott
00:28:27.020 got it right
00:28:28.260 and CNN's fact-checker
00:28:30.440 got the fact wrong,
00:28:31.680 specifically with regard
00:28:33.220 to President Trump's
00:28:34.400 Operation Warp Speed.
00:28:36.340 What also struck me
00:28:37.440 was that this was not
00:28:38.420 a message that was
00:28:39.380 a Donald Trump message
00:28:40.600 at all.
00:28:41.460 He was not speaking
00:28:42.160 to the base of the party
00:28:43.140 except in one area
00:28:44.300 where he was refusing
00:28:46.240 to give Joe Biden
00:28:47.800 any credit on COVID-19.
00:28:50.480 He said the tide
00:28:51.620 had already turned
00:28:52.720 on COVID-19
00:28:54.560 when Biden became president.
00:28:58.400 And, of course,
00:28:58.900 everybody understands
00:29:00.000 that Operation Warp Speed
00:29:01.080 happened under Joe Biden,
00:29:03.280 but getting vaccines
00:29:04.340 into arms
00:29:05.500 was a Biden operation.
00:29:09.000 Hold on.
00:29:09.760 So, Operation Warp Speed,
00:29:12.840 that was the coronavirus
00:29:14.280 response team,
00:29:16.020 that happened under Joe Biden.
00:29:17.720 What are you talking about?
00:29:19.440 Operation Warp Speed
00:29:20.600 was a Trump initiative.
00:29:23.300 They got the vaccine
00:29:24.920 within two days
00:29:27.140 of the election.
00:29:28.560 Remember?
00:29:29.340 The election happens,
00:29:30.800 there was this very
00:29:31.420 convenient timing
00:29:32.400 for the liberal establishment
00:29:33.420 where they didn't announce
00:29:34.460 the vaccine until a couple
00:29:35.600 of days after the election.
00:29:36.820 But nevertheless,
00:29:38.000 Donald Trump's still president then.
00:29:39.240 He was still president
00:29:40.080 until January 20th.
00:29:42.280 What on earth
00:29:43.320 are you talking about?
00:29:45.080 It was,
00:29:45.620 we got to give Biden credit
00:29:46.940 for Operation Warp Speed.
00:29:48.060 But Joe Biden had nothing
00:29:48.980 to do with Operation Warp Speed.
00:29:50.340 So,
00:29:51.040 they caught this
00:29:51.540 a little bit later
00:29:52.180 and this lady on CNN
00:29:53.340 did try to sort of,
00:29:56.240 kind of,
00:29:56.760 correct what she said.
00:29:57.940 Let me state,
00:29:58.820 I misstated it earlier.
00:30:00.580 Donald Trump
00:30:01.260 gets credit
00:30:02.740 for Operation Warp Speed.
00:30:04.240 But Joe Biden
00:30:07.140 gets credit
00:30:07.800 on getting those vaccines,
00:30:09.320 those shots
00:30:09.820 into your arms.
00:30:11.120 Okay,
00:30:11.760 so sure,
00:30:12.500 yeah,
00:30:12.780 you're right.
00:30:14.140 Trump did the
00:30:15.060 Operation Warp Speed.
00:30:16.160 But,
00:30:16.440 but still,
00:30:17.020 Biden gets all the credit
00:30:17.740 for the vaccines.
00:30:18.580 No,
00:30:18.840 he doesn't.
00:30:19.400 He doesn't get any credit
00:30:20.340 for it.
00:30:20.940 He,
00:30:21.180 he just took
00:30:22.640 the Trump administration's
00:30:24.040 plan
00:30:25.240 that had already
00:30:26.200 been implemented
00:30:26.780 very well
00:30:27.360 and he followed it out
00:30:28.900 and he,
00:30:29.600 he followed it out
00:30:30.540 so to the T
00:30:31.500 that all of the dates
00:30:34.200 that Donald Trump gave
00:30:35.180 on when these things
00:30:36.140 would happen
00:30:36.680 turned out to be true.
00:30:38.800 So,
00:30:39.300 you'll,
00:30:39.940 maybe you won't remember this
00:30:41.060 because the mainstream media
00:30:42.120 have done such a good job
00:30:43.080 of,
00:30:43.340 of memory holding this.
00:30:44.580 But President Trump
00:30:45.420 for months said,
00:30:46.320 we're going to get a vaccine
00:30:47.800 by the end of the year.
00:30:48.900 We're going to get shots
00:30:50.360 in people's arms
00:30:51.120 by April,
00:30:52.100 by most of America
00:30:53.060 is going to be able
00:30:54.020 to get this vaccine
00:30:54.860 by April of next year.
00:30:56.380 All of the experts
00:30:57.700 and all of the Democrats
00:30:59.080 told him that this
00:31:00.280 was not possible
00:31:01.300 and that this was a lie
00:31:02.380 and Donald Trump
00:31:03.000 stuck to his guns.
00:31:03.700 He said,
00:31:03.880 I'm telling you,
00:31:04.620 this is what's going to happen.
00:31:06.020 We'll have manufactured
00:31:07.200 at least
00:31:07.880 100 million vaccine doses
00:31:10.620 before the end of the year
00:31:12.280 and likely much more than that.
00:31:15.780 Hundreds of millions of doses
00:31:17.260 will be available every month
00:31:18.820 and we expect to have
00:31:20.140 enough vaccines
00:31:21.440 for every American by April.
00:31:24.900 And,
00:31:25.460 again,
00:31:26.620 I'll say that
00:31:27.240 even at that later stage
00:31:28.860 a delivery will go
00:31:29.900 as fast as it comes
00:31:31.460 they can deliver.
00:31:32.640 They're very good.
00:31:33.720 Best,
00:31:34.220 I think,
00:31:34.620 probably the best in the world.
00:31:36.180 President Trump,
00:31:37.220 you have repeatedly
00:31:38.500 either contradicted
00:31:40.200 or been at odds
00:31:41.220 with some of your government's
00:31:42.440 own top scientists.
00:31:43.420 The week before last,
00:31:44.840 the head of the Centers
00:31:46.040 for Disease Control,
00:31:47.060 Dr. Redfield,
00:31:47.740 said it would be summer
00:31:49.220 before the vaccine
00:31:51.060 would become generally available
00:31:53.120 to the public.
00:31:54.820 You said that he was confused
00:31:56.660 and mistaken.
00:31:57.900 Those were your two words.
00:31:59.360 Yeah.
00:31:59.540 But,
00:32:00.420 Dr. Slaoui,
00:32:01.380 the head of your Operation War Speed,
00:32:03.760 has said exactly the same thing.
00:32:05.480 Are they both wrong?
00:32:06.420 Well,
00:32:06.600 I've spoken to the companies
00:32:07.840 and we can have it a lot sooner.
00:32:09.220 It's a very political thing
00:32:10.340 because people like this
00:32:11.400 would rather make it political
00:32:12.980 than save lives.
00:32:14.160 And there's Biden laughing,
00:32:15.860 no,
00:32:16.460 he's not going to get the vaccine.
00:32:19.320 You should watch the whole clip.
00:32:20.420 We don't have time
00:32:20.840 to go through the whole clip today.
00:32:22.000 Chris Wallace doesn't let up.
00:32:23.320 He and Trump back and forth
00:32:24.300 and back and forth.
00:32:24.780 He goes,
00:32:25.040 you're saying your government's wrong?
00:32:26.820 You're saying,
00:32:27.120 oh my gosh,
00:32:27.840 you're saying you're going to get
00:32:28.620 a vaccine that soon
00:32:29.940 and that it'll be distributed?
00:32:30.920 That's all the experts
00:32:32.100 say it's not going to happen.
00:32:32.920 Trump's saying it is going to happen.
00:32:33.960 This is obviously
00:32:34.460 just a political game
00:32:35.540 that you all are playing,
00:32:37.220 that you,
00:32:37.800 Chris Wallace,
00:32:38.540 and you,
00:32:39.240 Joe Biden,
00:32:39.880 and you,
00:32:40.560 the experts,
00:32:41.560 and you,
00:32:41.800 you're all just playing
00:32:43.400 this stupid game.
00:32:44.340 Guess who was right?
00:32:47.160 Guess who was right?
00:32:47.680 You have
00:32:48.240 Chris Wallace
00:32:49.660 and Joe Biden
00:32:50.440 and the experts
00:32:51.180 and the companies
00:32:51.900 and the everybody
00:32:52.680 and the whole liberal establishment
00:32:53.860 on one side
00:32:54.480 and all those really smart people
00:32:55.700 in the lab coats
00:32:56.260 and you have Donald
00:32:57.620 freaking Trump
00:32:59.000 as if alone in the world
00:33:01.520 on the other side.
00:33:02.480 Guess who was right
00:33:03.020 about the whole thing,
00:33:04.360 about when you get the vaccine,
00:33:05.440 about when Americans
00:33:06.140 will have access to the vaccine.
00:33:07.660 Trump was right
00:33:08.220 and the rest of them
00:33:10.120 were wrong,
00:33:11.100 which raises a question.
00:33:14.340 Who should we be trusting
00:33:15.560 on these issues
00:33:17.320 of public health?
00:33:19.040 Public health,
00:33:20.260 the most of the great,
00:33:21.520 our true government,
00:33:22.560 the public health.
00:33:23.980 Who should we be trusting?
00:33:25.460 The experts
00:33:26.180 or people who have
00:33:29.180 a little bit of common sense?
00:33:32.120 I got in trouble.
00:33:33.340 I got in trouble yesterday.
00:33:34.700 You probably saw the episode.
00:33:36.460 It was taken down on YouTube.
00:33:39.220 The segments taken down
00:33:41.040 because I played a clip
00:33:44.060 of Joe Rogan
00:33:44.720 and Joe Rogan
00:33:46.260 in that clip
00:33:46.800 discouraged young people
00:33:48.500 from getting the vaccine
00:33:49.560 because he said,
00:33:50.140 look, you're quite healthy
00:33:51.100 and so you just,
00:33:53.220 some people are at
00:33:54.220 a far greater risk
00:33:55.060 from COVID
00:33:56.120 and you're not really
00:33:57.300 at nearly as great a risk.
00:33:58.760 So, you know,
00:33:59.380 if I were a young person,
00:34:00.020 I wouldn't get it.
00:34:01.140 Doc DeFauci,
00:34:02.740 our great exalted leader,
00:34:04.360 was asked about this
00:34:05.600 Joe Rogan clip
00:34:06.740 on the Today Show.
00:34:07.640 He said,
00:34:07.960 absolutely not.
00:34:08.980 Joe Rogan,
00:34:10.380 totally wrong.
00:34:11.140 Don't listen to him.
00:34:12.000 Everyone get the vaccine
00:34:12.980 immediately.
00:34:13.960 Young, healthy people
00:34:14.900 shouldn't get vaccinated.
00:34:15.960 Just quickly,
00:34:16.540 your response?
00:34:17.480 Well, that's incorrect, Savannah.
00:34:19.200 And the reason why
00:34:20.140 is that you're talking
00:34:21.320 about yourself
00:34:22.320 in a vacuum then.
00:34:24.020 You're worried
00:34:24.580 about yourself
00:34:25.480 getting infected
00:34:26.840 in likelihood
00:34:27.520 that you're not
00:34:28.220 going to get any symptoms.
00:34:29.780 But you can get infected
00:34:31.460 and will get infected
00:34:32.640 if you put yourself at risk.
00:34:34.220 And even if you don't
00:34:35.380 have any symptoms,
00:34:36.900 you're propagating
00:34:37.900 the outbreak
00:34:38.520 because it is likely
00:34:39.680 that you,
00:34:40.820 even if you have
00:34:41.600 no symptoms,
00:34:42.820 that you may inadvertently
00:34:44.220 and innocently
00:34:45.320 then infect someone else
00:34:47.240 who might infect someone
00:34:48.740 who really could have
00:34:49.960 a problem
00:34:50.480 with a severe outcome.
00:34:52.040 So if you want
00:34:52.820 to only worry
00:34:53.500 about yourself
00:34:54.320 and not society,
00:34:56.200 then that's okay.
00:34:57.320 But if you're saying
00:34:57.920 to yourself,
00:34:58.620 even if I get infected,
00:35:00.220 I could do damage
00:35:01.300 to somebody else
00:35:02.360 even if I have
00:35:03.480 no symptoms at all.
00:35:04.620 And that's the reason
00:35:05.800 why you've got
00:35:06.940 to be careful
00:35:07.540 and get vaccinated.
00:35:08.840 Yes.
00:35:09.280 So if you only care
00:35:10.860 about yourself,
00:35:11.860 you disgusting,
00:35:13.040 selfish peasant,
00:35:14.080 then fine.
00:35:15.120 Maybe don't get the vaccine.
00:35:16.540 I mean,
00:35:16.700 I'm still going to make you.
00:35:17.940 But if you're a good person,
00:35:20.180 then you should get
00:35:21.200 the vaccine.
00:35:22.300 Go jump in a lake,
00:35:23.540 this guy.
00:35:24.780 The vaccine,
00:35:25.500 super duper effective,
00:35:26.380 right?
00:35:27.100 Vaccines,
00:35:27.780 vaccine available
00:35:28.520 basically to every single
00:35:30.060 person in the country
00:35:30.560 right now.
00:35:30.960 So other than children,
00:35:33.700 because it's not,
00:35:34.240 it's not approved
00:35:35.380 for children yet,
00:35:36.540 even though it's totally,
00:35:37.760 it's great.
00:35:38.240 It's awesome.
00:35:38.580 There's no question
00:35:39.040 about it whatsoever,
00:35:39.620 but it's still not,
00:35:41.500 but it's approved
00:35:42.000 for everybody else
00:35:42.640 other than children.
00:35:43.960 So everyone can get
00:35:44.920 the vaccine just about,
00:35:46.720 but you still need
00:35:48.300 to get the vaccine
00:35:49.940 because otherwise,
00:35:50.820 even if you're not
00:35:51.580 at risk really
00:35:52.280 from the virus,
00:35:53.820 if you,
00:35:54.340 you could carry the virus
00:35:55.500 and be asymptomatic
00:35:56.360 and you could give it
00:35:57.120 to other people
00:35:57.720 who are already,
00:35:58.760 by the way,
00:35:59.140 immune because the vaccine
00:36:00.220 works totally
00:36:00.940 great.
00:36:01.640 So they don't really
00:36:02.900 need to worry
00:36:03.260 about getting it,
00:36:03.920 but you could have
00:36:04.660 to worry about giving it
00:36:05.440 to the people
00:36:05.860 who don't have
00:36:06.340 to worry about getting it.
00:36:07.140 Is that,
00:36:07.900 is that the argument?
00:36:09.740 Get the vaccine,
00:36:10.960 sheep.
00:36:12.120 Wear the mask,
00:36:13.160 sheep.
00:36:14.320 So I'm,
00:36:15.100 I'm not going to make
00:36:15.940 any scientific point
00:36:17.240 on,
00:36:18.060 on the vaccine.
00:36:19.700 I'm not going to make
00:36:20.560 any scientific point
00:36:21.500 on the masks.
00:36:22.340 I'm not going to make
00:36:22.960 any scientific argument
00:36:24.480 on the whole virus
00:36:25.680 because I'm not allowed to.
00:36:27.780 YouTube won't allow me.
00:36:29.140 You see,
00:36:29.680 the,
00:36:29.840 the liberal establishment
00:36:30.920 acting through YouTube
00:36:32.060 is so confident
00:36:33.440 of its argument
00:36:34.260 that it will not
00:36:36.140 permit me
00:36:36.940 to read
00:36:37.760 a peer-reviewed
00:36:39.180 scientific study
00:36:40.280 from the National
00:36:41.480 Institutes of Health.
00:36:42.480 That's how confident
00:36:43.400 they are
00:36:43.900 that they are speaking
00:36:45.160 for the science.
00:36:46.480 That's how confident
00:36:47.140 they are in their arguments.
00:36:48.180 So I'm not going to do that.
00:36:49.920 If you want to hear me
00:36:51.040 read the peer-reviewed
00:36:51.780 scientific study
00:36:52.540 about the masks,
00:36:54.080 contradicting
00:36:54.580 all of the
00:36:55.440 wonderful proclamations
00:36:57.240 of our public health
00:36:57.880 overlords,
00:36:58.220 go to dailywire.com
00:36:59.380 because you'll be able
00:37:00.020 to check it out
00:37:00.720 over there.
00:37:01.620 Would strongly recommend
00:37:02.660 you do that.
00:37:03.600 But I'm not going to do it
00:37:04.640 because, you know,
00:37:05.440 we go on YouTube,
00:37:06.260 we're not allowed
00:37:06.660 to say that.
00:37:07.280 I'm just going to make
00:37:08.220 the purely
00:37:08.940 political argument.
00:37:11.180 I think the masks
00:37:14.820 are dumb.
00:37:16.660 I'm not saying that
00:37:17.500 from a scientific standpoint.
00:37:18.580 I'm not saying
00:37:18.900 they don't work.
00:37:21.060 Not right now.
00:37:21.980 I'm not saying that.
00:37:23.240 I'm saying
00:37:23.740 as a political matter,
00:37:25.600 it is disordered.
00:37:27.060 This is a disordered
00:37:28.260 thing for society
00:37:29.200 to wear the secular
00:37:30.360 keffia over your face.
00:37:31.940 It is a disordered
00:37:32.980 thing for society
00:37:33.760 to continue to go around
00:37:34.840 muzzling yourself,
00:37:36.020 not seeing people smile,
00:37:37.180 not going out,
00:37:38.300 being able to breathe
00:37:39.000 fresh air,
00:37:39.760 and see the expressions
00:37:40.960 on our faces.
00:37:42.140 Man is the political animal
00:37:43.560 in Aristotle's term.
00:37:45.440 Why?
00:37:45.760 Because we have speech,
00:37:46.760 because we communicate
00:37:47.560 with one another,
00:37:48.240 because we're social.
00:37:49.500 That is the defining
00:37:51.320 political quality of man.
00:37:53.620 It's what separates us
00:37:54.640 from the animals.
00:37:56.920 And these idiots,
00:38:00.000 these power mad idiots
00:38:04.040 are stopping us
00:38:06.180 from doing that.
00:38:07.360 And we are following along.
00:38:09.760 It's not just
00:38:12.880 do this for a while,
00:38:14.680 then do this,
00:38:15.340 then do this,
00:38:15.960 and follow all.
00:38:16.920 They never give up
00:38:19.060 the old measures
00:38:20.180 that they put in place.
00:38:21.580 Savannah Guthrie,
00:38:22.440 this poor woman,
00:38:23.220 bless her soul,
00:38:24.280 bless her heart.
00:38:25.700 She's on NBC
00:38:27.680 and she says,
00:38:28.400 you know,
00:38:28.600 Dr. Fauci,
00:38:30.460 man,
00:38:30.880 I've been wearing the mask.
00:38:32.120 You know,
00:38:32.440 I've been putting the mask
00:38:33.160 on my kids
00:38:33.860 and I just,
00:38:34.640 I don't want the kids
00:38:35.240 outside really.
00:38:35.920 When can we allow kids
00:38:38.040 to go outside
00:38:39.440 and play around
00:38:40.300 without the mask
00:38:42.160 on their face?
00:38:43.080 You know,
00:38:43.540 it sets up a strange
00:38:44.480 situation,
00:38:45.320 especially when you start
00:38:46.120 talking about kids.
00:38:47.140 I'll tell you a story.
00:38:48.380 I walked to pick up
00:38:49.400 my little girl
00:38:50.340 at the bus stop yesterday
00:38:51.580 after the CDC recommendations
00:38:53.360 came out.
00:38:54.200 I took off my mask.
00:38:55.560 I waited for her.
00:38:56.560 There was no one else around.
00:38:57.960 She got off the bus
00:38:59.260 with her little mask on.
00:39:00.780 She had to wear her mask.
00:39:02.100 I didn't on the walk home.
00:39:04.500 When are kids
00:39:05.400 going to be able
00:39:05.880 to take off those masks
00:39:06.820 and play outside
00:39:07.500 at the playground?
00:39:08.900 You know,
00:39:09.260 that's going to be
00:39:09.800 the same thing
00:39:10.440 that I mentioned
00:39:11.000 a moment ago.
00:39:11.840 It's going to be
00:39:12.340 a situation.
00:39:13.540 Well,
00:39:13.680 first of all,
00:39:14.400 kids will ultimately
00:39:15.340 wind up getting vaccinated,
00:39:16.780 but you want to have
00:39:17.720 some activity
00:39:18.940 in that direction
00:39:20.060 before they do.
00:39:21.540 High school kids
00:39:22.260 will likely get vaccinated
00:39:23.440 as we get into
00:39:24.780 the fall term
00:39:25.700 and children of any age
00:39:27.500 will likely be vaccinated
00:39:28.640 by the time we get
00:39:29.460 to the end of the year.
00:39:30.360 But let's not talk
00:39:31.380 about the end of the year.
00:39:32.320 Let's talk about
00:39:33.040 the immediate
00:39:34.020 or intermediate future.
00:39:36.000 Kids will get vaccinated,
00:39:37.700 okay,
00:39:38.040 whenever I tell them to.
00:39:39.260 That's when they'll
00:39:39.680 get vaccinated
00:39:40.340 and you sheep
00:39:41.340 are going to do
00:39:41.820 whatever I want you to do.
00:39:43.720 My little newborn baby
00:39:44.940 ain't getting vaccinated,
00:39:46.300 okay?
00:39:47.020 Not because I'm questioning
00:39:48.960 the vaccine
00:39:50.060 and the efficacy
00:39:50.840 because he's a little baby
00:39:52.540 and he's not at risk.
00:39:55.140 I'm not saying
00:39:55.520 there's no 0% risk,
00:39:57.140 but I'm following the science
00:39:58.320 and following the data
00:39:59.220 and this is part
00:40:02.260 of the reason
00:40:02.580 that they haven't
00:40:03.180 prioritized giving kids
00:40:04.200 the vaccine.
00:40:05.100 Kids are at very,
00:40:05.920 very, very,
00:40:06.540 very, very,
00:40:07.160 very low risk.
00:40:09.640 But when can my kid
00:40:10.660 go outside and play
00:40:11.820 without the mask?
00:40:14.260 Kids can go outside
00:40:15.640 and play without masks
00:40:17.600 when they have
00:40:18.320 reasonable parents.
00:40:19.840 That's when.
00:40:20.540 That's going to be
00:40:21.000 the determining factor.
00:40:23.000 When their parents
00:40:23.940 are not so given over
00:40:25.060 to the neuroses
00:40:26.440 of this bizarre
00:40:28.380 progressive
00:40:29.060 scientistic culture
00:40:30.160 that they muzzle up
00:40:32.820 their little kids
00:40:33.420 and don't let them
00:40:33.940 play outside for a year.
00:40:35.160 That's when the kids
00:40:35.980 will be able to go
00:40:36.660 outside and play.
00:40:38.420 Absolutely pathetic stuff.
00:40:39.940 If you are not letting
00:40:40.700 your kid go outside
00:40:41.460 and play,
00:40:42.620 cut it out.
00:40:43.640 If you are forcing
00:40:44.540 your little kid
00:40:45.220 to put the mask
00:40:46.800 on all the time,
00:40:47.760 cut it out.
00:40:48.540 Cut it out.
00:40:49.040 Come on, man.
00:40:49.780 Come on, man.
00:40:51.580 Come on.
00:40:52.420 Be like Corn Pop.
00:40:53.200 Corn Pop wouldn't
00:40:53.640 have done that.
00:40:55.060 Someone wrote
00:40:55.780 into the show
00:40:56.300 yesterday.
00:40:58.340 They said,
00:40:58.540 oh, Michael Knowles.
00:40:59.440 You still think
00:41:00.460 that people
00:41:00.980 didn't need masks
00:41:02.540 a year ago?
00:41:04.020 Listen to that language.
00:41:06.220 I'm sure they're
00:41:06.960 going to try to
00:41:07.360 ding me for this too,
00:41:08.120 but look at that
00:41:09.760 word need.
00:41:10.860 Obviously,
00:41:11.300 we didn't need masks.
00:41:12.920 We could have
00:41:13.660 pursued some other policy.
00:41:14.960 Other places
00:41:15.340 did pursue another policy.
00:41:18.620 Many people
00:41:19.360 in this country
00:41:19.880 pursued another policy
00:41:20.920 by ignoring Dr. Fauci.
00:41:23.260 Like some people
00:41:24.220 in this room, perhaps.
00:41:25.060 When you say
00:41:28.500 we didn't need masks,
00:41:29.900 what you're saying is
00:41:30.760 it was not advisable.
00:41:33.680 It was not this.
00:41:34.940 It was not that.
00:41:36.680 You didn't need masks
00:41:38.160 is softening my position,
00:41:39.680 which is a political position,
00:41:41.280 not a scientific position.
00:41:42.340 I'm saying
00:41:42.560 as a political matter,
00:41:43.620 this was very harmful
00:41:44.880 to society.
00:41:46.400 And that was
00:41:47.260 obviously correct.
00:41:48.780 And it was,
00:41:49.900 it's correct today.
00:41:50.780 it was correct a year ago
00:41:52.200 and it's going to be
00:41:52.780 correct tomorrow.
00:41:54.180 But because people
00:41:54.920 are making this category error,
00:41:56.420 we talked about this
00:41:57.000 a little bit last night
00:41:57.800 on Backstage,
00:41:58.840 whereby the only way
00:42:00.200 that we're able to think
00:42:01.380 is through this
00:42:02.400 very narrow
00:42:03.640 scientific material lens.
00:42:05.940 Then all of our
00:42:06.900 ethical and philosophical
00:42:08.080 and political
00:42:08.760 and theological
00:42:09.420 disagreements
00:42:10.120 have to be
00:42:11.560 through that lens.
00:42:12.400 This is,
00:42:13.120 accounts,
00:42:13.880 by the way,
00:42:14.200 partially
00:42:14.540 for the obsession
00:42:15.560 with race
00:42:16.100 because race
00:42:16.580 is a physical thing.
00:42:17.580 So when we talk
00:42:18.560 about evil,
00:42:19.920 when we talk
00:42:20.340 about bigotry,
00:42:21.580 when we talk
00:42:21.960 about redemption,
00:42:22.740 when we talk
00:42:23.000 about original sin,
00:42:24.240 the only way
00:42:25.020 we can talk about it
00:42:25.740 is in physical terms.
00:42:27.380 White supremacy,
00:42:29.360 this color,
00:42:29.980 this visual,
00:42:30.900 physical thing
00:42:31.360 is the stand-in now
00:42:32.800 for evil
00:42:34.040 in the world.
00:42:37.720 That's a problem
00:42:38.840 because in order
00:42:39.700 to have self-government,
00:42:40.640 we need to be able
00:42:41.080 to talk about
00:42:41.500 metaphysical things.
00:42:42.460 We need to be able
00:42:42.880 to talk about good and bad
00:42:43.780 and right and wrong
00:42:44.340 and true and false.
00:42:45.580 And if you've lost
00:42:47.040 the capacity to do that,
00:42:48.580 then you are going
00:42:49.280 to lose your capacity
00:42:50.180 for self-government
00:42:51.060 and you are going
00:42:51.760 to let this freaking jerk,
00:42:53.820 Dr. Fauci,
00:42:54.980 run your country
00:42:56.120 for a year
00:42:57.440 or two years
00:42:57.980 or three years
00:42:58.440 or who knows
00:42:58.880 how long
00:42:59.360 this is going to go.
00:43:02.800 Speaking of
00:43:03.560 the nature
00:43:03.980 of our political regime,
00:43:07.940 Rudy Giuliani,
00:43:09.220 America's mayor,
00:43:10.840 one of the really
00:43:11.580 great mayors
00:43:12.320 in the history
00:43:12.780 of our country,
00:43:13.520 greatest mayor
00:43:13.920 in the history
00:43:14.260 of New York,
00:43:15.220 just got raided
00:43:15.960 by the feds.
00:43:16.700 The feds busted
00:43:17.620 into his office
00:43:18.660 and department.
00:43:20.260 This,
00:43:21.500 according to
00:43:22.060 the Washington Post,
00:43:24.040 the investigation
00:43:24.600 into Giuliani
00:43:25.620 revolves around
00:43:26.360 his interactions
00:43:27.060 with Ukrainian figures
00:43:28.320 ahead of last year's
00:43:29.440 presidential election
00:43:30.440 as he sought information
00:43:31.760 that might prove
00:43:32.340 politically damaging
00:43:33.200 to then-candidate
00:43:34.080 Joe Biden
00:43:34.660 and pressed for the ouster
00:43:35.880 of the U.S. ambassador
00:43:36.880 to Ukraine.
00:43:38.060 CNN added
00:43:38.720 he hasn't been charged
00:43:40.760 and has denied wrongdoing,
00:43:42.340 but America's mayor
00:43:43.380 gets his office
00:43:44.180 and department
00:43:44.640 busted into
00:43:45.280 because he was
00:43:47.400 apparently digging
00:43:48.260 up dirt
00:43:48.820 on Joe Biden
00:43:49.880 on behalf
00:43:50.600 of Donald Trump.
00:43:52.520 Oh,
00:43:53.200 that's what it is.
00:43:54.720 That's what,
00:43:55.260 this is a political
00:43:55.920 persecution.
00:43:56.860 Got it.
00:43:58.320 You'll notice
00:43:59.120 that prominent Democrats
00:44:00.780 didn't get their offices
00:44:01.880 busted into
00:44:02.740 for digging up dirt
00:44:04.380 in Russia
00:44:05.100 on Donald Trump
00:44:06.560 and they didn't even
00:44:07.080 really dig up dirt.
00:44:08.280 They just hired
00:44:09.540 this intelligence guy.
00:44:11.060 They hired a bunch
00:44:11.580 of spooks,
00:44:12.180 one of whom
00:44:12.540 was Christopher Steele
00:44:13.540 to create
00:44:14.440 a totally
00:44:15.260 uncorroborated,
00:44:17.280 read,
00:44:18.000 fictional dossier
00:44:19.620 on what Donald Trump
00:44:20.520 did in Russia.
00:44:21.920 We know
00:44:22.760 that the Democrats
00:44:23.440 did what
00:44:24.820 they are accusing
00:44:25.660 Rudy Giuliani
00:44:26.660 of doing
00:44:27.020 on behalf
00:44:27.400 of Donald Trump.
00:44:29.040 We know
00:44:29.700 that happened,
00:44:30.640 but they don't
00:44:31.180 face consequences
00:44:32.000 and Giuliani
00:44:33.040 apparently does.
00:44:34.200 He is at least
00:44:34.680 facing intimidation.
00:44:36.080 He's at least
00:44:36.560 facing the threat
00:44:37.360 because the
00:44:39.960 American political
00:44:40.720 regime
00:44:41.160 is oriented
00:44:43.060 to support
00:44:44.580 the left
00:44:45.620 and to attack
00:44:47.320 the right
00:44:47.840 and to only
00:44:49.860 apply certain laws
00:44:50.660 on the right
00:44:51.100 and not on the left
00:44:51.880 and to criminalize
00:44:53.020 things that the left
00:44:53.840 gets away with
00:44:54.460 when the right
00:44:55.080 does it.
00:44:56.000 Which brings us
00:44:56.920 to the political
00:44:59.080 commentator,
00:44:59.800 the right-wing
00:45:00.180 commentator,
00:45:00.900 Nick Fuentes.
00:45:02.520 Nick Fuentes
00:45:03.380 is this
00:45:04.900 quite right-wing
00:45:07.620 young
00:45:08.740 internet commentator
00:45:10.280 who
00:45:11.240 is apparently
00:45:13.780 being persecuted
00:45:14.820 by the regime.
00:45:16.380 Now I say
00:45:16.860 apparently
00:45:17.360 or I say
00:45:17.860 reportedly
00:45:18.380 because
00:45:18.920 Nick Fuentes
00:45:19.740 says that
00:45:21.120 he is on
00:45:21.640 the no-fly list.
00:45:23.200 He says
00:45:23.620 that he went
00:45:24.160 to go
00:45:24.540 on a flight
00:45:25.480 to give
00:45:26.740 a press conference
00:45:27.500 in Florida
00:45:28.200 and the lady
00:45:29.380 at the gate check
00:45:30.580 said,
00:45:30.960 no,
00:45:31.040 you can't do that.
00:45:32.760 And he said,
00:45:33.380 why?
00:45:34.020 Is this an airline
00:45:34.700 thing?
00:45:35.160 Is this a TSA thing?
00:45:36.520 Is this a federal
00:45:37.200 government thing?
00:45:38.120 And she said,
00:45:38.520 I can't give you
00:45:39.000 any information
00:45:39.520 on that.
00:45:39.960 I can neither
00:45:40.280 confirm or deny
00:45:40.980 that you're
00:45:41.240 on the list,
00:45:42.060 but you are
00:45:43.500 not permitted
00:45:44.140 to fly.
00:45:45.300 I say
00:45:45.960 apparently
00:45:46.400 and reportedly
00:45:47.000 because I've
00:45:47.660 only ever
00:45:48.200 met this guy
00:45:48.700 once
00:45:49.060 and it was
00:45:50.540 a dishonest
00:45:51.560 interaction.
00:45:52.500 He was
00:45:53.320 deceptive
00:45:53.940 in his
00:45:54.500 dealings with
00:45:55.000 me and I
00:45:55.280 didn't know
00:45:55.540 who he was.
00:45:56.360 And so I
00:45:56.800 don't know.
00:45:57.180 I don't know
00:45:57.520 if his account
00:45:58.160 is trustworthy,
00:45:59.140 but I'm
00:46:00.080 going to go
00:46:00.480 on the assumption
00:46:01.080 that it is
00:46:01.760 because
00:46:02.680 as skeptical
00:46:03.440 as I am
00:46:04.060 of this guy,
00:46:05.060 I'm very,
00:46:06.140 very skeptical
00:46:06.740 of the federal
00:46:07.340 government
00:46:07.720 and I'm seeing
00:46:08.160 what they're
00:46:08.400 doing to
00:46:08.700 Rudy Giuliani
00:46:09.300 and I'm seeing
00:46:09.720 what they've
00:46:10.020 done to
00:46:10.260 Donald Trump
00:46:10.720 and I'm seeing
00:46:11.080 what they do
00:46:11.520 to conservatives
00:46:12.300 all the time.
00:46:15.320 Consider,
00:46:16.240 let's say,
00:46:16.800 the worst opinion
00:46:17.700 you could possibly
00:46:18.400 have about this
00:46:19.080 guy,
00:46:19.320 Nick Fuentes.
00:46:20.100 Do you
00:46:20.600 really think
00:46:21.380 that it is
00:46:23.580 just that
00:46:24.700 he is not
00:46:25.320 permitted to
00:46:25.820 travel?
00:46:26.960 He,
00:46:27.480 a guy who
00:46:27.800 has not been
00:46:28.320 accused of
00:46:29.560 or convicted
00:46:30.360 of any
00:46:30.800 crime
00:46:31.260 to my
00:46:31.560 knowledge.
00:46:32.500 He should
00:46:33.140 not be
00:46:33.440 allowed to
00:46:33.780 get on
00:46:34.040 an airplane,
00:46:35.100 but Patrice
00:46:36.440 Cullors,
00:46:36.960 the head
00:46:37.200 of Black
00:46:37.700 Lives Matter,
00:46:38.360 she is,
00:46:38.960 she's cool,
00:46:40.180 runs an
00:46:40.520 organization,
00:46:41.320 runs a
00:46:41.700 political
00:46:43.120 movement
00:46:43.580 that burned
00:46:44.260 down the
00:46:44.540 country last
00:46:45.020 year.
00:46:45.220 She's allowed
00:46:45.580 to travel
00:46:45.940 wherever she
00:46:46.380 wants.
00:46:46.740 She gets
00:46:47.140 flown around
00:46:47.640 to travel
00:46:47.980 all over
00:46:48.300 the place,
00:46:49.320 but this
00:46:50.800 guy,
00:46:51.060 Nick Fuentes,
00:46:51.740 is not
00:46:52.160 because he
00:46:53.920 holds opinions
00:46:54.700 that are
00:46:56.920 radical and
00:46:57.980 that the
00:46:58.320 regime does
00:46:58.740 not approve
00:46:59.140 of.
00:47:00.500 Patrice
00:47:00.840 Cullors holds
00:47:01.460 very radical
00:47:02.560 opinions that
00:47:03.140 the regime
00:47:03.460 does approve
00:47:03.940 of,
00:47:04.520 so she gets
00:47:05.000 to do
00:47:05.200 whatever she
00:47:05.520 wants,
00:47:06.040 and her
00:47:06.380 movement,
00:47:06.960 burn down
00:47:07.280 the country,
00:47:07.820 doesn't matter.
00:47:08.700 Consider
00:47:09.080 Nicole Hannah
00:47:10.760 Jones,
00:47:11.180 is that her
00:47:11.540 name?
00:47:11.820 Yes.
00:47:12.340 Nicole Hannah
00:47:12.900 Jones is
00:47:13.700 the head
00:47:13.920 of the 1619
00:47:14.800 project at
00:47:15.440 the New York
00:47:15.740 Times.
00:47:16.320 Totally
00:47:16.660 lied,
00:47:17.280 the whole
00:47:18.080 premise of
00:47:18.800 the Pulitzer
00:47:19.240 Prize winning
00:47:19.720 1619
00:47:20.240 project is
00:47:21.100 the lie
00:47:21.560 that the
00:47:21.820 American
00:47:22.060 Revolution
00:47:22.500 was started
00:47:23.800 to preserve
00:47:24.620 slavery.
00:47:27.400 The
00:47:27.880 political
00:47:28.380 philosopher
00:47:28.720 Charles Kessler
00:47:29.400 during the
00:47:29.840 BLM riots
00:47:30.460 last year,
00:47:31.240 he came out
00:47:31.680 and he said,
00:47:31.940 I'm going to
00:47:32.160 start calling
00:47:32.620 these the
00:47:32.960 1619
00:47:33.660 riots because
00:47:34.560 I think the
00:47:35.060 1619
00:47:35.640 project was
00:47:36.640 responsible for
00:47:37.320 it.
00:47:37.620 Do you know
00:47:37.980 what Nicole
00:47:38.820 Hannah-Jones
00:47:39.200 said?
00:47:39.500 She said,
00:47:39.920 I'm proud
00:47:40.660 of that.
00:47:41.140 Oh,
00:47:41.420 great.
00:47:42.140 Please,
00:47:42.860 I'm honored
00:47:43.540 that you would
00:47:44.000 call these
00:47:44.840 riots the
00:47:45.280 1619
00:47:45.780 riots.
00:47:46.220 claiming
00:47:47.100 responsibility
00:47:48.000 bragging
00:47:50.200 that she
00:47:50.580 incited
00:47:51.000 these
00:47:51.240 riots.
00:47:51.660 That
00:47:51.960 woman is
00:47:52.400 still
00:47:52.580 allowed
00:47:52.800 to
00:47:52.960 get
00:47:53.080 on
00:47:53.240 an
00:47:53.360 airplane,
00:47:54.060 but
00:47:54.160 Nick
00:47:54.360 Fuentes
00:47:54.680 is
00:47:54.960 not.
00:47:57.020 Yeah,
00:47:57.580 but Nick
00:47:57.900 Fuentes
00:47:58.180 holds
00:47:58.640 radical
00:47:59.140 opinions
00:47:59.600 that I
00:47:59.880 find
00:48:00.060 very
00:48:00.260 distasteful.
00:48:00.900 Yeah,
00:48:01.320 sure.
00:48:03.220 What about
00:48:04.000 Nicole Hannah-Jones?
00:48:05.560 She holds
00:48:06.360 very radical
00:48:07.020 opinions
00:48:07.500 that I
00:48:08.100 find very,
00:48:08.600 very distasteful
00:48:09.300 and she's
00:48:10.220 claiming to
00:48:10.920 have
00:48:11.220 incited
00:48:11.960 these
00:48:12.180 riots.
00:48:13.380 But she
00:48:13.660 gets,
00:48:14.040 not only
00:48:14.440 does she
00:48:14.780 get to
00:48:15.140 fly,
00:48:16.420 something
00:48:16.660 tells me
00:48:17.080 she gets
00:48:17.360 flown around
00:48:17.880 all over
00:48:18.360 the place.
00:48:19.640 There is
00:48:20.060 big money
00:48:20.640 and big
00:48:21.240 privilege
00:48:21.760 for
00:48:22.720 radicalism
00:48:23.420 in favor
00:48:24.220 of the
00:48:25.180 liberal
00:48:25.460 regime.
00:48:26.960 And
00:48:27.360 there would
00:48:28.100 appear to
00:48:28.580 be,
00:48:28.820 again,
00:48:29.140 I don't
00:48:29.520 know if
00:48:29.780 it's true
00:48:30.080 or not,
00:48:30.660 Tucker Carlson
00:48:31.300 the other
00:48:31.580 night,
00:48:32.300 last night
00:48:32.880 or the night
00:48:33.140 before,
00:48:33.500 mentioned
00:48:33.760 this story
00:48:34.300 and he
00:48:34.500 said the
00:48:34.940 same thing.
00:48:35.340 We
00:48:35.420 haven't
00:48:35.620 been able
00:48:35.860 to verify
00:48:36.200 if this
00:48:36.480 is true,
00:48:37.220 but it
00:48:38.260 would seem
00:48:38.920 that the
00:48:39.780 right gets
00:48:40.540 persecuted.
00:48:41.560 And from
00:48:41.780 what's going
00:48:42.580 Rudy Giuliani,
00:48:43.380 it would
00:48:43.600 seem
00:48:44.160 that the
00:48:45.600 right,
00:48:45.920 even a
00:48:46.220 much,
00:48:46.500 much more
00:48:46.920 mainstream
00:48:47.340 right-wing
00:48:48.040 figure,
00:48:48.480 former mayor
00:48:49.340 of New York,
00:48:49.940 former lawyer
00:48:50.520 for the
00:48:50.740 president,
00:48:51.360 gets persecuted.
00:48:52.440 And it
00:48:52.640 would seem,
00:48:53.740 you all
00:48:54.160 know this,
00:48:56.000 that the
00:48:57.540 right-wingers
00:48:58.040 in this
00:48:58.320 country play
00:48:58.860 by a
00:48:59.220 different set
00:48:59.680 of rules.
00:49:00.440 BLM burns
00:49:01.060 down the
00:49:01.340 country,
00:49:01.680 they face
00:49:02.020 very few
00:49:02.640 consequences.
00:49:04.300 The horn
00:49:05.040 guy jumps
00:49:05.860 into the
00:49:06.180 Capitol on
00:49:06.760 January 6th
00:49:07.540 and dances
00:49:07.900 around the
00:49:08.300 desk.
00:49:09.820 All those
00:49:10.540 people are
00:49:11.140 facing very,
00:49:11.960 very serious
00:49:12.360 consequences,
00:49:13.100 getting pinched
00:49:13.660 by feds,
00:49:14.700 told that
00:49:15.060 it's an
00:49:15.280 insurrection.
00:49:15.940 The left
00:49:16.260 burns down
00:49:16.700 the country,
00:49:17.400 that's a
00:49:17.720 peaceful
00:49:17.920 protest.
00:49:18.660 The right
00:49:19.020 goes in
00:49:19.580 and disrupts
00:49:21.100 the Capitol,
00:49:21.720 that's an
00:49:22.040 insurrection.
00:49:24.280 Watching this
00:49:25.520 speech last
00:49:26.260 night,
00:49:26.980 it was a
00:49:27.840 very eerie
00:49:28.300 feeling.
00:49:28.640 I've visited
00:49:28.980 Washington,
00:49:29.540 D.C.
00:49:30.480 many times
00:49:31.100 since January
00:49:32.100 6th.
00:49:33.520 D.C.
00:49:34.100 looks like
00:49:34.700 a war zone.
00:49:36.060 It looks
00:49:36.420 like one
00:49:37.180 of the
00:49:37.400 places that
00:49:38.040 the liberal
00:49:38.420 regime would
00:49:38.880 occupy in the
00:49:39.460 Middle East.
00:49:41.100 Barbed wire
00:49:41.740 up,
00:49:42.200 fencing up,
00:49:43.160 the military
00:49:43.820 still there,
00:49:44.580 National Guard
00:49:45.060 still occupying
00:49:46.320 D.C.
00:49:47.160 Joe Biden
00:49:47.680 giving this
00:49:48.120 speech to a
00:49:48.700 muzzled audience
00:49:49.400 in a mostly
00:49:50.340 empty room.
00:49:52.260 It made me
00:49:53.780 wonder,
00:49:54.200 huh,
00:49:54.900 is that,
00:49:56.320 what,
00:49:56.800 if this is,
00:49:57.740 if this is not
00:49:58.640 the insurrection,
00:49:59.280 what does the
00:49:59.560 insurrection look
00:50:00.200 like?
00:50:01.140 When I think of
00:50:02.340 insurrection,
00:50:02.960 I don't know,
00:50:03.200 when I think of a
00:50:03.660 coup,
00:50:04.580 it doesn't seem
00:50:05.520 very,
00:50:06.080 very easily
00:50:07.600 distinguished from
00:50:08.360 what this
00:50:09.280 is.
00:50:10.340 Raises lots
00:50:11.100 of questions
00:50:11.740 about the
