Summary
Dr. Anthony Fauci has a special Mother's Day gift for all the mamas out there: a vaccine for HIV/AIDS. Also, Caitlyn Jenner can't win the California primary, but why does she still get a chance to run for governor?
Transcript
00:00:00.000
For all the moms out there, Dr. Fauci has a special present for your special day.
00:00:07.860
If you are good little girls and you do every single thing that he says,
00:00:12.520
maybe, just maybe, you can celebrate Mother's Day next year.
00:00:17.900
Give everyone a sense of what the country is going to look like next Mother's Day.
00:00:21.440
Well, George, I hope that next Mother's Day we're going to see a dramatic difference than what we're seeing right now.
00:00:27.220
I believe that we will be about as close to back to normal as we can.
00:00:35.180
We've got to make sure that we get the overwhelming proportion of the population vaccinated.
00:00:40.860
When that happens, the virus doesn't really have any place to go.
00:00:44.500
There aren't a lot of vulnerable people around.
00:00:47.160
And where there are not a lot of vulnerable people around, you're not going to see a surge.
00:00:51.060
You're not going to see the kinds of numbers we see now.
00:00:53.700
So, next Mother's Day, something, what, 14 months after 15 days to slow the spread,
00:01:00.680
will be, not normal, will be close to, as close to normal as possible.
00:01:06.760
If you all get the shot, but if you don't, you're locking down for another two years, you sheep.
00:01:15.160
My only real pang of, I would say, almost despair in politics is that if I were ever
00:01:30.740
to run for some office, if I were ever to find myself in some position of political influence,
00:01:37.660
probably Dr. Fauci will already be out of his job.
00:01:41.420
Because I would love nothing more, if I found myself in a position of political power, I
00:01:45.960
would love nothing more than to fire Dr. Fauci, banish him to St. Helena, and never more hear
00:01:53.260
Frankly, though, even if, let's say that I run for something and I win something in, I
00:01:59.900
On second thought, Dr. Fauci probably still will be in his job.
00:02:02.820
I don't know when that bargain with the devil runs up.
00:02:05.020
I know he's been in office since, what, the Truman administration or something like that.
00:02:08.920
So, a fair chance, I suppose, that he is there.
00:02:11.280
Speaking of politicians, my favorite comment on Friday comes from Extreme Taco Cannon, who says,
00:02:25.980
John Cox is a good, is a good gubernatorial candidate.
00:02:31.620
And, and this year, I think, is really making a strong play.
00:02:34.080
So, yes, perhaps California does need Cox at a time like this.
00:02:39.360
At these very difficult times when everything is so fraught, one way to give us a little bit of peace of mind, having some physical gold.
00:02:47.640
If you want to invest in physical gold, go check out Acre.
00:02:50.580
Acre lets you subscribe to gold bars for as little as $30 a month.
00:02:54.700
You pay each month, and once your gold stash reaches the price of their gold bars, they discreetly ship Acre gold to your house.
00:03:01.380
Just recently, Acre introduced a new $100 a month subscription to a 5-gram gold bar.
00:03:05.580
Or, Acre will let you invest without coming out of pocket all at once so that you don't, you know, you don't have to look around your couch cushion and say, do I have enough for a gold bar yet?
00:03:16.980
By the way, right now, you know, there's a nationwide ammo shortage.
00:03:19.620
Acre is making a solid gold 24-carat 9-millimeter bullet that you can buy right now.
00:03:26.260
That would be a very expensive day at the range.
00:03:28.760
But I suppose good if you want to kill a werewolf.
00:03:32.800
No, actually, maybe you've never killed a werewolf, okay?
00:03:36.320
Otherwise, I would just keep it on your mantle.
00:03:43.540
Make sure you go to that URL because Acre is giving away a gold bar to qualify.
00:03:46.740
Tweet or post why you should get it and mention at get underscore Acre.
00:03:53.200
And thank you, Acre Gold, for supporting the show.
00:03:55.220
Now, everywhere, motherhood is being devalued, not just in the medical community, which is
00:04:04.960
now trying to erase women entirely, but even in the popular culture.
00:04:09.400
Put aside for a second the transgender issue that says that men and women are exactly the
00:04:14.680
same and men are the best women around are just men.
00:04:19.080
Even in the popular culture, motherhood itself is so devalued.
00:04:22.620
There was a clip from somebody named Tiffany Haddish.
00:04:25.800
The name vaguely rings a bell, though I have no idea what this person does.
00:04:29.300
Tiffany Haddish was being interviewed on some show and was asked about Mother's Day.
00:04:39.560
Here goes something everybody don't know I'm a tick.
00:04:41.480
When I was 21, I was really hard up with money and I gave up a bunch of eggs.
00:04:49.680
I doubt it though because I never got the bonus.
00:04:56.980
Maybe I've got some kids running around because I decided that for some pieces of silver,
00:05:03.580
I would consign my children to never knowing their mother.
00:05:08.880
It's not as though I found myself in a tricky situation and I felt that I couldn't raise
00:05:12.660
the child, but I didn't want to kill the child.
00:05:17.440
This is, I wanted some bucks so that I could entertain myself.
00:05:21.220
So I sold my eggs so that children might be created who will never have the opportunity
00:05:31.240
Or, or maybe they're just in a freezer somewhere.
00:05:34.980
Maybe they have been fertilized, but you know, because of all these other kooky ways that
00:05:39.360
people have children now, uh, they, they have these fertilized embryos and we just turn
00:05:52.520
What this does, forget about what it does for the kids.
00:05:59.440
But what it says then is that motherhood is just, you're just a womb or you're just some
00:06:08.700
There's a process that is very popular among wealthy people where if wealthy people either
00:06:14.480
can't conceive on their own or if there are biological reasons why they can't in our culture,
00:06:20.480
they will purchase the eggs from one woman and then rent out another woman's womb and then
00:06:28.420
create a designer baby for their own pleasure and gratification.
00:06:34.600
Isn't the idea that you love someone else and so in this act of love, you create another
00:06:40.260
person and this person is an actual physical representation of your love.
00:06:45.500
But today what we're doing is exactly the opposite of that.
00:06:51.940
And I guess the worst part of it, I mean, you know, what's actually going on is pretty
00:06:57.240
But what's even more shocking to me is how people don't see it for what it is.
00:07:08.420
Yeah, and they're not going to know their mother, you know, but I got some money.
00:07:16.560
Meanwhile, in PBS, PBS NewsHour has a piece out on Mother's Day, or I suppose a couple
00:07:23.340
days before Mother's Day, but it was obviously for Mother's Day, to really, to celebrate women
00:07:28.180
by saying, quote, it's time to recognize the damage of childbirth, doctors and mothers
00:07:35.680
Now, when you think about childbirth, I'm sure you were celebrating your mother this weekend.
00:07:40.660
When you're thinking about childbirth, do you think of damage and harm and injury, or do
00:07:56.340
There is a logical flaw in this argument from PBS.
00:08:01.040
It's time to recognize the damage of childbirth, doctors and mothers say.
00:08:05.740
Generations of women have quietly endured the messy business of giving birth, even after reading
00:08:11.920
stacks of pregnancy books, faithfully following their healthcare provider's advice, and successfully
00:08:17.940
Women often enter motherhood with what suddenly feels like a broken body.
00:08:22.060
I didn't even need to read the whole paragraph.
00:08:24.740
Do you see the logical flaws in the first sentence?
00:08:29.640
Generations of women have endured the messy business of childbirth.
00:08:32.980
I'm not saying that childbirth isn't messy, but I'm saying if your argument here is that
00:08:36.360
childbirth damages, that it harms, that it causes injury, you can't begin your argument
00:08:43.940
It's just like how Ronald Reagan made the observation that everyone who is in favor of abortion has already
00:08:52.360
Or you'll notice there are people, usually on the left, who are worried about the population
00:09:00.420
And notice their solution is never to take themselves out of the population.
00:09:04.060
Their solution is always to take other people out of the population.
00:09:07.260
Because you can't make that argument and say childbirth is bad.
00:09:18.000
There is pain and sacrifice involved in anything that is giving of yourself that is productive
00:09:24.100
But nobody wants to give of themselves anymore because we all want to get something for nothing
00:09:28.300
about me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me.
00:09:39.980
If you said, I want to just pursue my own pleasure and do whatever is good for me and
00:09:47.240
not care about anybody else, that would be considered bad.
00:09:58.560
We've made pride the ultimate virtue, for goodness sakes.
00:10:00.660
Meanwhile, in the past, 40 years ago or so, if you said things like honor, virtue, selflessness,
00:10:14.240
sanctification, these sorts of words, they would have meant something.
00:10:17.920
They would have been something that we all aspire to.
00:10:19.440
Today, those words, if you say them to most people on the street, they will look at you
00:10:26.480
It is part of a cultural revolution to upend the traditional basis of our culture, the traditional
00:10:33.880
Just up in our neighbor to the north, America's hat over the past week, that pastor, that Polish
00:10:40.280
pastor up there, whose name is Artur Pawlowski, leave it to the Poles to always be defending
00:10:50.180
Pawlowski was arrested in the middle of a street by a SWAT team in Canada.
00:11:12.460
He's wearing a suit to go preach to his congregation.
00:11:19.060
If you're watching this video, that means they have successfully arrested me and I am in jail.
00:11:25.640
If you would like to support me, if you would like to support Rebel News and the legal team
00:11:31.360
that is trying their best to get me out of this trouble, please go to safeartur.com.
00:11:37.440
Please donate, please help, help me, help my family, help my wife and my children to get me out of this horrible, illegal situation.
00:11:48.840
Please go to safeartur.com and get me out of this.
00:11:54.600
We played him on the show a month or so ago, whenever, whenever he had his first stand against these people.
00:11:58.780
And he wouldn't let the, the public health police come into his congregation.
00:12:03.620
And he called them Gestapo and he called them Nazis and communists.
00:12:08.020
And, you know, the polls know a thing or two about, about this topic.
00:12:15.340
But it's going to create a very strange situation here because if the cops ever start doing that in America, God forbid.
00:12:25.660
I'm not going to back the blue if the blue is, is arresting pastors.
00:12:31.900
I don't think they would want to do that in America.
00:12:36.920
What those cops are, they are behaving like Gestapo.
00:12:41.060
To arrest someone for, for holding a church service.
00:12:45.780
They don't arrest other people for holding other gatherings.
00:12:51.280
The church is closed and the marijuana dispensaries remain open in California during the lockdown.
00:12:58.920
It's about creating a new ranking of priorities and an, and an upending of the culture.
00:13:04.940
And if we don't stand up against it now, it's, it's not like that's some video out of, you know, 19, 1930s Europe or, or Russia.
00:13:14.600
That's happening right now, right up to the north, just last week.
00:13:18.720
Sort of thing makes a, makes a man just want to relax, forget about all this stuff.
00:13:25.720
One great way to do that is with Redneck Riviera Whiskey.
00:13:29.600
If you believe in standing for the national anthem or supporting our military and first responders, or if you want to celebrate a job well done, check out Redneck Riviera Whiskey.
00:13:39.800
That is your whiskey, sourced from America's heartland, blended and bottled in Kentucky.
00:13:45.280
Redneck Riviera Whiskey is the smoothest whiskey available.
00:13:49.140
From the glass to the cork and the whiskey inside, it is 100% made in America.
00:13:53.200
The brand is also 100% owned by John Rich, my pal John Rich, the country singer.
00:13:57.300
This is not just another celebrity endorsement where, you know, some company has, has the booze and then the celebrity comes in, smiles for a photo and then doesn't know anything about it.
00:14:06.980
I was at his house the other day and he's got very nice selection of booze.
00:14:10.680
So I tried the Redneck Riviera Whiskey and it was my favorite thing.
00:14:16.060
For more information or to find a store near you, visit redneckriviera.com.
00:14:23.620
Redneck Riviera is a distilled spirit with 40% ABV.
00:14:26.040
Redneck Spirits Group is responsible for this ad and is located at 10917 Old Herod's Woods Circle, Louisville, Kentucky, 40223.
00:14:34.440
So you've got the police force in Canada arresting a pastor for holding a church service because he is violating the state-established church of secular progressivism.
00:14:46.600
He's violating the true priests of Canada who are the public health experts.
00:14:52.580
It's not quite as far down the line as it is in Canada, but we've got the same sort of thing here, the same kind of rules on the books, the same kind of punishments, albeit to a lesser degree.
00:15:03.440
Meanwhile, in the digital realm, the liberal establishment is quashing any and all dissent.
00:15:08.820
You saw this just last week when President Trump lost his Twitter account again.
00:15:15.560
This, I felt, was really when big tech crossed the Rubicon in January 7th, January 8th, when the big tech companies deplatformed the duly elected sitting president of the United States.
00:15:27.640
And you think, well, if the oligarch, nerd, weirdo, hipster Rasputin types in Silicon Valley can censor the sitting president of the United States, they control 90% of the flow of information.
00:15:47.840
It's not just a private company or a cultural action.
00:15:55.720
So President Trump tried to work his way around this by setting up a blog on his website and then creating a little share button so you can share it to the various social media companies and then creating a Twitter account for the blog.
00:16:12.340
We talked about this last week when Facebook outsourced its decision to the oversight board.
00:16:20.380
Facebook has a quasi-independent oversight board.
00:16:23.580
It's independent mostly of corporate interference, but politically it's very far left wing.
00:16:28.660
So the oversight board is then supposed to rule on whether or not you can keep Trump banned.
00:16:32.460
First of all, if you ban him for the last part of his presidency, then who really cares if you let him back on two years later?
00:16:38.480
But even so, the oversight board decided to punt that question back to corporate.
00:16:43.020
Because no one really wants to take responsibility for censoring Trump.
00:16:46.520
They all want to censor Trump, but no one wants to take responsibility for it because it is such an obvious and outrageous political power grab.
00:16:54.220
And what this reminds us, and it should especially remind right-wingers this, is we can't just privatize everything.
00:17:03.980
The reason that Facebook even has to make these content decisions about censorship and what's beyond the pale, and we have to all acknowledge, look, there are some things that you're just not allowed to say.
00:17:16.100
This has been true from the beginning of the country.
00:17:17.800
This has always been true in the United States.
00:17:19.600
And it's been true in every country in the history of the world.
00:17:25.180
You can't engage in things like sedition to greater or lesser degrees.
00:17:30.760
You can't engage in things like direct threats.
00:17:32.780
You can't, for a long time in this country, you couldn't engage in obscenity.
00:17:35.880
So there are always things that are off limits.
00:17:38.120
If the politics is not going to make that decision, then the private companies, semi-private companies are.
00:17:46.040
So the response to this for conservatives is we need to set these sorts of standards through our politics.
00:17:51.580
Or else the left is going to set the standards for us.
00:17:54.860
Instead of hauling off perverts and communists with our police like we did in the 1950s, you know, busting up, I don't know, porn theaters in New York or busting up communist rings in Washington, D.C.
00:18:11.400
Now what we're seeing is police busting up churches.
00:18:21.580
What are we conserving and how are we going to do it?
00:18:25.000
Rahm Emanuel, a former mayor, former mayor of Chicago, former political operative for the Clintons, for Obama, White House chief of staff, you know, a real machine politician type guy.
00:18:38.220
Rahm Emanuel took to the Sunday shows this weekend to lament the fact that the GOP is no longer a conservative party.
00:18:48.780
Jane has said the word, you know, conservative agenda.
00:18:53.360
First of all, this is not a conservative party.
00:18:55.420
You want to look at a conservative party, pick up John Boehner's book, pick up former President Bush's book.
00:19:00.880
This is a reactionary party built on both resentment and race.
00:19:08.400
I do not want to hear about the politics of resentment and race from the party of Black Lives Matter.
00:19:18.760
I don't want to hear any accusations that the GOP is now focused on race and resentment from Democrats who actively encouraged race rioters last year that burned down the country.
00:19:34.800
And they're still doing, they're still encouraging this sort of thing.
00:19:38.580
So that, like so much of what Rahm Emanuel says, completely disingenuous.
00:19:44.880
He is projecting onto his opponents that which he does himself.
00:19:49.120
But then listen to his point about what true conservatism is.
00:19:53.700
When you think of true conservatism, what names pop to mind?
00:20:01.460
Maybe Edmund Burke, maybe John Adams, maybe Ronald Reagan.
00:20:07.540
It's a little complicated, but maybe Ronald Reagan.
00:20:12.620
A lot of people who are very conservative in American history.
00:20:25.120
John Boehner would call the more conservative members of his party lunatics, wackos.
00:20:33.340
He called Ted Cruz the Lucifer himself or something like that.
00:20:37.360
George W. Bush comes from the most famous liberal Republican family in the country.
00:20:44.980
When Bush ran for president, he positioned himself as a compassionate conservative.
00:20:49.660
As if to say, regular conservatives are not compassionate.
00:20:53.180
Regular conservatives are cruel and heartless and inhumane.
00:20:58.120
Just like his father, who was part of the liberal wing of the Republican Party.
00:21:09.060
When Bush became president, he said, we're going to create a kinder, gentler nation.
00:21:12.840
Nancy Reagan said, kinder and gentler than whom?
00:21:20.860
First of all, people like Rahm Emanuel were viciously attacking Boehner and Bush while they
00:21:25.660
were in office because they'll attack any Republican.
00:21:27.900
But now they're saying these are the good Republicans.
00:21:29.880
And this is why you got to tune out what John Boehner is saying right now.
00:21:33.820
This is why you got to tune out what George Bush is saying right now.
00:21:36.660
Because these are the liberals' favorite conservatives.
00:21:40.760
What someone like Rahm Emanuel is saying here is they're doing the conservatism in the right
00:21:45.820
way, which is to put up a little bit of a fight, but ultimately to fail so that we can
00:21:51.160
not only succeed as leftists, but the fake conservatives will legitimize our regime.
00:22:02.680
They do their little dance, but they don't really threaten the way that the rule is carried
00:22:09.980
The other piece of this is you talk about an agenda.
00:22:25.480
It took 90 years to find a president that could both lose the White House, the House, and the
00:22:34.540
And the other piece of this that makes no sense to me, you have an election.
00:22:47.280
And they are going to also have the ability in this area to cut off any part of history
00:22:57.320
I don't even know what he's, what point is he trying to make at the end?
00:23:00.220
They're going to try to, the Republicans are cutting off their history.
00:23:05.860
This from the party of the KKK, this from the Democratic Party.
00:23:11.560
If anything, Republicans are returning to their history.
00:23:14.420
The embrace of protection and trade, the embrace of tariffs to some small degree, is not
00:23:20.440
an abdication of the conservative agenda or the Republican agenda.
00:23:27.300
Abraham Lincoln, the first Republican president, said, show me a tariff, I'll show you the greatest
00:23:32.440
So even on his point of the agenda, he's just completely wrong.
00:23:36.540
The Republicans did have a real agenda in 2016 and 2020.
00:23:39.660
It was the first time they've articulated a serious agenda in my lifetime.
00:23:43.140
It was just not an agenda that the left approved of.
00:23:48.320
For most of my lifetime, I'm thinking McCain, I'm thinking Romney, I'm thinking Bush.
00:23:52.680
The Republican agenda was basically indistinguishable from the Democrat agenda on things like immigration,
00:23:59.020
on things like trade, on things like the welfare state.
00:24:04.320
I mean, you're kind of, the Republicans want to shrink it a little, but they didn't end up
00:24:11.540
Romney actually grew it when he was governor of Massachusetts.
00:24:15.900
Then Trump comes along and he says, yeah, we need to reduce immigration.
00:24:23.680
We have to be more skeptical of these international free trade regimes.
00:24:30.420
And what the Democrats said, they're trying to pretend that that's not a different vision.
00:24:34.080
But what the Democrats are really saying here is, hold on, wait a second.
00:24:38.540
The Trump and Trump supporters views on immigration, on trade, on manufacturing, on national identity,
00:24:49.520
So we need to complete, completely delegitimize that.
00:24:52.360
We need to change various election rules before the 2020 election.
00:24:56.080
I won't even respond directly to what Rahm Emanuel said on that point.
00:25:01.600
But they're saying we need to fundamentally overhaul elections now in H.R.1 and S.1,
00:25:07.560
the Corrupt Politicians Act being considered by Congress, which would federalize the elections.
00:25:17.260
Not because there's no Republican agenda, but because for the first time in decades,
00:25:25.640
They don't, they just weren't educated into it when they were very, very young.
00:25:29.060
Well, one way that we can fix that for the next generation is Tuttle Twins.
00:25:32.860
How do you explain economics to a seven-year-old?
00:25:38.280
Schools today are not teaching the principles of freedom.
00:25:40.880
History is watered down, key principles omitted altogether,
00:25:43.660
and time and attention are given to things of lesser importance.
00:25:47.380
Woke socialist ideas are creeping into our classrooms and curricula across the country.
00:25:51.680
So our friends over at Tuttle Twins are doing something about it.
00:25:55.240
They have created the Tuttle Twins Show, an animated show that teaches kids principles of freedom,
00:25:59.560
like free market economics, limited government, and free speech.
00:26:02.640

Democrat Rahm Emanuel says the GOP, it's just not conservative anymore.
00:27:51.800
And he's a Democrat, so you should believe him.
00:27:56.920
all we Republicans should listen to Bush and listen to Boehner, right?
00:28:03.440
Because Rahm Emanuel, famous Democrat operative,
00:28:09.460
Both parties do it, but it's so saccharine and obviously disingenuous.
00:28:15.240
I would say probably most Republicans have said this at various times.
00:28:18.660
Well, they'll say, hey, look, I think there should be a healthy Democrat party.
00:28:25.980
Look, I know I'm a Republican, but we need a healthy two-party system.
00:28:32.580
And that's why the Democrats need to accept all of my advice
00:28:38.800
Because look, I really have their best interests at heart.
00:28:43.660
You think that the Democrats should be abolished.
00:28:45.780
You think they're a horrible party who have a horrible vision for our country
00:28:50.240
and it would be better if none of them showed up to vote
00:28:52.720
or ran for office or whatever and Republicans ran everything.
00:28:57.300
And vice versa when the Democrats, look, guys, I know I'm a Democrat,
00:29:02.300
but I just think Republicans, you should really listen to John Boehner.
00:29:13.180
So it's bad enough when it comes from Democrats.
00:29:15.040
But then what the Democrats are really saying is listen to our guys.
00:29:20.040
Listen to the Republicans who accomplish nothing other than legitimize the Democratic rule.
00:29:27.640
Guys like Representative Adam Kinzinger, who is a Republican, at least nominally,
00:29:34.420
who spends most of his time going on liberal news outlets and attacking the GOP
00:29:39.220
and specifically attacking the conservatives within the GOP.
00:29:42.220
So Adam Kinzinger goes on the CBS Sunday show and he says the GOP, it's a sinking ship.
00:29:50.660
So Liz Cheney is saying exactly what Kevin McCarthy said the day of the insurrection.
00:29:59.960
And a few weeks later, Kevin McCarthy changed to attacking other people.
00:30:04.920
And so I think what the reality is, is as a party, we have to have an internal look
00:30:09.340
and a full accounting as to what led to January 6th.
00:30:14.480
We're like, you know, in the middle of this slow sink, we have a band playing on the deck
00:30:22.020
And meanwhile, as I've said, you know, Donald Trump's running around trying to find women's
00:30:27.320
And I think there's a few of us that are just saying, guys, this is not good, not just for
00:30:30.700
the future of the party, but this is not good for the future of this country.
00:30:34.460
We're four months after January 6th, an insurrection, something that was unthinkable in this country.
00:30:40.200
And the message from the people that want to get rid of Liz Cheney is to say, it's just
00:30:48.280
Like this was 10 years ago and we've been obsessed about it since.
00:30:52.720
January, where to begin with this, this ridiculous person.
00:30:57.380
January 6th was an insurrection, something unthinkable in this country.
00:31:04.560
And do you know why I don't think an insurrection was unthinkable in this country?
00:31:08.740
Because the left had been pursuing one for eight months before.
00:31:13.800
No, well, they, on January 6th, the Trumper insurrectionists attacked a government building.
00:31:19.140
Oh, a government, you mean like the multiple government buildings that BLM burned to the
00:31:25.160
Well, and they were threatening civilians, were they?
00:31:29.120
I guess they were threatening members of the house.
00:31:31.720
That's the claim, at least, going after, going after citizens.
00:31:37.020
You mean like the many, many citizens from coast to coast that BLM threatened, burned down
00:31:42.220
their homes, burned down their businesses and killed in 2020 like that?
00:31:50.320
Because with BLM, dozens of people were killed and countless cities were burned to the ground.
00:31:55.340
But on January 6th, some guy in a horn helmet danced around on the house floor.
00:32:05.140
I think it's bad to dance around government buildings in a horn helmet.
00:32:11.780
I think, frankly, I think they should be punished for it.
00:32:16.040
Not only is January 6th not the worst insurrection, worst, most terrible thing, worse than Pearl
00:32:23.080
It's not, it's not just that it's, it's that you can't, you can't even compare it to the
00:32:27.560
You can't even compare it to what Antifa does regularly.
00:32:33.380
But Adam Kinzinger doesn't want to talk about that.
00:32:36.320
Because Adam Kinzinger exists, his whole raison d'etre as a, as a conservative, as a Republican,
00:32:46.420
He's one of the guys who voted for the impeachment.
00:32:49.820
The one area that I agree with him here is I do think we should have an investigation into
00:32:56.180
Because what we were told in the days right after January 6th is that Republican Trump
00:33:02.600
supporters, they planted bombs, they planted bombs outside the Capitol and at the party
00:33:09.720
And they threw fire extinguishers at cops and killed cops.
00:33:13.300
And they, they were violent and they were, they were not only trying to kill people but
00:33:23.240
The officer who sadly died, died of an unrelated stroke days later.
00:33:28.480
We learned that the only person actually killed in the political violence of that day
00:33:32.780
was a Trump supporter killed by Capitol Police.
00:33:35.780
You hear so much about police brutality when it fits the left-wing narrative.
00:33:41.940
You don't hear about it when it, when it doesn't fit their narrative, when it contradicts
00:33:47.060
No, we remember there were bombs planted outside the Capitol by, by Trump supporters.
00:33:58.080
So yeah, I think there should be an investigation.
00:33:59.880
Because the more, the more that there has been an investigation, it has disproved the leftist
00:34:05.100
narrative on it and it has defended the, the conservative line, Adam Kinzinger.
00:34:17.880
But the, the Liz Cheney battle is kind of a battle for the soul of the Republican party.
00:34:23.360
No one, no one really cares about the leader of the GOP house conference per se.
00:34:28.300
The, the reason that this battle matters is because it's a fight between the squishes
00:34:32.120
and the conservatives for the future of the party.
00:34:34.440
And it's gotten complicated because while Liz Cheney represents the neo-conservative wing
00:34:38.440
of the party, the, basically the liberal imperialist wing of the party, the person that the conservatives
00:34:44.220
put up is this woman, Elise Stefanik, who's actually more liberal than Liz Cheney.
00:34:50.940
But Kinzinger is going out and defending Cheney because what Cheney and Kinzinger have been spending
00:34:55.080
their last years doing is just going on these left-wing shows and talking to left-wing
00:34:59.380
outlets and writing for left-wing outlets and defending the libs against the conservatives.
00:35:04.180
So Jim Clyburn, a Democrat, has now come out and said that getting, the Republicans getting
00:35:18.300
You know, I don't agree with Liz on much politically, but you know, that's how we grow as a country.
00:35:26.600
This whole thing that everybody ought to be marching in lockstep, that is what leads people
00:35:40.020
We want to limit it to gender and sometimes to race.
00:35:49.480
My parents were Republicans and I would love to see this party honor them.
00:35:53.880
But this party, Republican Party today, is showing so much dishonor to the people who made it
00:36:01.380
The people who died from Abraham Lincoln, kept this party alive on the basis of anti-slavery,
00:36:21.380
They are perpetrating that which they argue that they're against.
00:36:26.700
Wow, guys, I'm even better than I thought I was.
00:36:30.400
I hate to brag on the show here, but I did not realize when I, when I threw the Clyburn
00:36:36.860
clip in here, I did not realize that he was going to be proving my point about how disingenuous
00:36:43.240
it is when people from other parties talk about how they want your party to be really
00:36:48.640
He just, now listen, I'm not a, I don't agree with Liz Cheney, okay?
00:36:54.380
I don't, I think you actually do agree with Liz Cheney on a lot of things, but that's beside
00:36:58.040
I don't agree with Liz Cheney, but I'm just saying, I support a strong Republican Party.
00:37:03.980
You want to see the Republican Party washed away to the sea, never to be heard from again.
00:37:08.800
And you're pretending that you want a strong Republican Party so that you can sound reasonable
00:37:15.340
You're a partisan Democrat who fights tooth and nail against the Republicans every single
00:37:22.440
He even did the thing of, and they're bringing shame to people like Abraham Lincoln.
00:37:28.220
The way you know, he actually gave a little bit of a tell in how disingenuous his argument
00:37:32.700
is here because he goes, they're bringing great shame to people like Abraham Lincoln.
00:37:37.340
Abraham Lincoln, who founded the Republican Party on anti-slavery, which itself was a lie.
00:37:47.460
Because you just said the reason that these current Republicans are bad is because they're
00:37:53.720
breaking with the great history of the Republican Party, which was founded on anti-slavery.
00:38:03.040
I just said the Republican Party was founded on anti-slavery.
00:38:09.380
So if it was a lie, so then the, then the new Republicans aren't that bad because they're
00:38:13.100
not betraying the old party because the party was always terrible.
00:38:15.880
Well, no, I'm just, and he ties himself into knots.
00:38:19.640
My big argument against Liz Cheney is that people like Jim Clyburn really like her, or
00:38:23.760
at least are pretending to like her right now because they know that she in a position
00:38:29.540
Now, the problem for us right now is that the alternative is possibly worse, at least
00:38:35.700
Can't we put, can't we at least, here are the two things I want.
00:38:40.320
Vaguely conservative, at least, and doesn't spend all of his time attacking his own party.
00:38:47.380
That's, those are the two things I want for someone who is in Republican leadership.
00:38:51.040
So Liz Cheney, actually, she's sort of, you know, moderately conservative.
00:38:54.960
She's not a total lib, moderately conservative, but she spends all her time attacking the party.
00:39:00.500
And Elise Stefanik does not spend her time attacking the party, but she's significantly
00:39:07.180
So can't we, can't you just get like a conservative up there?
00:39:10.420
Like any conservative who doesn't hate his own party, I guess that's too much to ask.
00:39:17.140
I guess to Jim's main point here, he's saying this is cancel culture.
00:39:19.960
It's not cancel culture to hold people accountable and to show people consequences for the things
00:39:26.560
When the left uses those kinds of words and says, you know, cancel culture is really about
00:39:33.460
And as far as it goes, yes, people should be held accountable for things they do.
00:39:38.500
One of the big problems in our culture today is that people don't really face consequences
00:39:41.580
or rather only conservatives face consequences.
00:39:45.200
Getting back to Kinzinger's stupid point about the worst, most terrible insurrection in history.
00:39:52.660
A guy who says he, I guess he's sort of conservative, dances around with horns and all of those people
00:40:09.940
It is when ordinary people are ostracized and face professional and personal reprisals
00:40:18.600
for saying perfectly ordinary and good things, for waving the American flag, for saying,
00:40:31.380
I am, it does not therefore follow that no one should ever be held accountable for anything.
00:40:34.880
When the left says, well, you, you conservatives had cancel culture in the fifties when you
00:40:45.360
When you've got people working to completely undermine our country and upend our way of life
00:40:50.460
as the card carrying communists were in the 1950s, they were working on behalf of a foreign
00:41:03.260
He's saying, I'll try to do it in my perfect Buckley.
00:41:06.040
He goes, you know, I'm, I'm not saying that, uh, communists ought to be thrown in prison,
00:41:12.060
but I'm not saying that they have any right not to be thrown in prison either.
00:41:18.780
Because communists waving the, the hammer and sickle are different than Americans waving
00:41:27.780
This, this question of symbolism is, is really important here.
00:41:32.800
There was a judge in Maryland, Maryland district court judge on Wednesday, banned court employees
00:41:38.540
from wearing apparel that have thin blue line designs because the, you know, the thin blue
00:41:44.220
line is, it's the American flag with the blue through it.
00:41:47.500
And it says, yeah, I support the cops over the criminals.
00:41:49.580
And, uh, you know, the more we see videos of people in Canada, you know, cops in Canada
00:41:53.080
arresting pastors, I think the less likely we were going to be to just reflexively support
00:41:58.040
But here in America, yes, we support the cops over the criminals.
00:42:02.820
The right supports the cops over the criminals.
00:42:04.520
The reason I don't like the thin blue line symbol too much is it's actually a violation
00:42:09.320
It's a transformation of the American flag in a way that I think is actually somewhat
00:42:24.560
Do you think that if an employee at the court wore a button that said Black Lives Matter,
00:42:34.840
But we, we know that in other places, there have been plenty of news stories about other
00:42:38.640
corporations, about other organizations where you can wear the BLM stuff, but you can't
00:42:46.640
Where you can wear the BLM or even Antifa, or even Che Guevara's face on a t-shirt, but
00:42:54.980
Only some of the symbols are being banned because those symbols are reflect, are reflections
00:42:59.800
on our standards and our standards are changing and conservatives don't have any language with
00:43:06.140
They don't have it yet because we've been left speechless, controlling words, controlling
00:43:09.380
It's the title of my book, which is available now for pre-order.
00:43:12.640
If you want a way out of this, I strongly recommend taking a look at the book.
00:43:16.640
Give you a great example on, on the substance of these politics, right?
00:43:22.440
So Democrats have earmarked millions of dollars in this upcoming spending bill for all of their
00:43:33.800
Million bucks for a cultural placemaking initiative designed to celebrate the history and culture
00:43:40.500
of black Los Angeles by representative Karen Bass of California, an actual communist, a
00:43:46.720
woman who actually worked for communist organizations for a very long time and visited communist places
00:43:55.160
When you call Karen Bass a communist, the project is described as an innovative 1.3 mile
00:44:00.320
public private streetscape improvement to celebrate black culture.
00:44:02.800
It's so, it's so cliche at this point that I won't, I don't, I will say it.
00:44:10.020
Imagine if you had a million dollar project to celebrate white culture.
00:44:15.220
It'd be, oh my gosh, the international headlines, the riots that that that would provoke.
00:44:23.260
They don't get a million bucks to celebrate their culture.
00:44:28.060
The most persecuted minority ever in the history of America.
00:44:35.420
Million dollars for, to celebrate black culture.
00:44:38.680
In Wisconsin, Democrat rep Mark Poken is asking for a million bucks for a 55,000 square
00:44:43.820
foot space for black enterprise, art, history, performance, and culture.
00:44:47.960
So another specifically racialist, black, artistic thing.
00:44:54.900
Illinois rep Sherry Bustos asking for three quarters of a million dollars to create a youth
00:44:59.080
equity center to help children address the necessary social determinants of health to
00:45:08.240
Rep Hakeem Jeffries, who's, who's, I believe it's his uncle, Professor Jeffries, who I talk
00:45:14.500
about in my upcoming book, Speechless Controlling Words, Controlling Minds, available now for pre-order.
00:45:18.600
Jeffries had this, that was a little bit late on the ding, but that's okay.
00:45:23.420
Jeffries had this idea that there were sun people and ice people and that the black people
00:45:28.660
are the sun people and they're good and they have melanin and the whites are savages.
00:45:34.140
Nick Cannon, the actor, carried this ridiculous ideology into the 21st century recently and
00:45:45.120
He's requesting three quarters of a million bucks for a program for, quote, inclusion and
00:45:50.240
health, healthy discussions around difficult issues such as racism, gender discrimination,
00:45:57.080
Donald Payne Jr. earmarks over a million dollars for the Center for Child and Human Development
00:46:06.020
Rep Barbara Lee asking for a million bucks to provide culturally relevant medical services
00:46:16.680
Same thing, another million bucks, another half million bucks, another half million bucks,
00:46:26.840
The Republican response to these slush fund projects is, wow, look at all this crazy wasteful
00:46:35.720
If you elect us, we won't spend any of that money for, for our priorities.
00:46:43.460
They'll just, they'll just give lip service to opposing it.
00:46:54.020
And you see all that money that the Democrats are going to spend on their nonsense.
00:46:57.860
We're going to take all of that money and we're going to spend it on good things.
00:47:05.700
But politics is downstream of culture to quote Andrew Breitbart and to quote a lot of the
00:47:12.040
We need to take the money that is going to be spent.
00:47:16.060
There's no, you're not going to reduce the spending.
00:47:21.220
If Ronald Reagan couldn't do it, you can't do it either.
